  Trust no one and accuse everyone in Who's the Bad Guy, the official Barstool Sports social deduction game from the brilliant mind of Nick Tureny in what's quickly becoming the most popular new party game around. Players are secretly assigned unique roles with the good guys trying to expose the bad guys and the bad guys doing everything they can to stay hidden. Each game unfolds under alternating day and night phases with roles like the cool chick, the shy guy, the gambler, el presidente, the mentalist, the planner, the funny guy, and more. Every round is unpredictable, chaotic, and ridiculously fun. Who's the bad guy is great for parties, pre games, family gatherings, or groups who just love deception based games. Game night will never be the same. Shop now on Walmart.com.

• 3:23Speaker 00

  Welcome to Pardon My Take presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours. Today is Monday, August 31st and PFT football is back and preseason football is over. We had cut day in the NFL and I am really sad to inform everyone here that Dejounte Love did not make the 53 man roster of the San Francisco 49ers.

• 3:50Speaker 02

  That's right. Love finds a way.

• 3:51Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:51Speaker 02

  He'll bounce back.

• 3:52Speaker 00

  For people who have missed this story, it has taken over the internet. It is, I actually, I, we haven't talked about it. We, we, we were, we were all in different locations on, on this week. And so we have not talked about it, but to, to sum it up for anyone who's missed it, Dejounte Love is a internet scammer who essentially pretended that he was an NFL player for the last however many years and scammed over, the FBI arrested him and they, he, that he's alleged to have scammed 1.3 million dollars from various women. And it is so funny because if you are someone who watches the NFL, like everyone who's listens to the show and all of us in this room, you just saw one clip of this guy and

• 4:35Speaker 00

  you're like, yeah, he is not an NFL player, but he somehow kept this scam going. I guess, I guess it just shows if you carry around a helmet with you everywhere you go, people might assume you're in the NFL.

• 4:47Speaker 02

  I, I mean, maybe, maybe you didn't buy it. I thought that was a crispy route and he was wearing a 49ers helmet.

• 4:52Speaker 00

  He was.

• 4:53Speaker 02

  Like where else, where else can you get a 49ers? That's what the 49ers wear when they play football.

• 4:56Speaker 00

  Well, he not in that.

• 4:57Speaker 02

  And Dejounte had that helmet.

• 4:59Speaker 00

  In the car with him.

• 4:59Speaker 02

  And he was working out, playing football.

• 5:01Speaker 00

  Yeah. I think I, it wasn't the, the route. It was when he had the helmet with him in the car that I was like, oh shit, this guy's legit.

• 5:06Speaker 02

  That's what ball players do. I, they wake up, they go, they, they walk around. They had the cook with the helmet on. Some guy asleep with it on. It was just essentially him having a helmet, owning a couple of footballs and then wearing the color red a lot.

• 5:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 5:19Speaker 02

  Like everything.

• 5:19Speaker 03

  Instagram. He curated his Instagram.

• 5:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 5:22Speaker 03

  To look like an NFL player.

• 5:22Speaker 00

  I initially was like, this guy is such a piece of shit. He's a scumbag. He's scamming people. I have to say that I, I turned and I think I'm a fan of his. If Dejounte Love has only one fan, it's me. If he has no fans, I'm dead. When I saw that he, he got so deep, he did a fake Thanksgiving turkey giveaway.

• 5:47Speaker 02

  Oh, that's good.

• 5:48Speaker 00

  For his charity. I was like, this is now funny.

• 5:50Speaker 02

  Did you see the football camp?

• 5:52Speaker 00

  Yeah, he had a football camp. He had a turkey giveaway. Like he got so into, I'm an NFL player that he's like, I even have to do a turkey giveaway Thanksgiving time because that's what NFL players do.

• 6:04Speaker 02

  Did he have like an alma mater? Did he have a fake college that he also went to?

• 6:07Speaker 03

  Well, he was hurt.

• 6:08Speaker 00

  He was hurt. He hurt his pinky. I don't know if you saw, but he couldn't.

• 6:11Speaker 02

  I didn't see that part.

• 6:11Speaker 00

  He, he, he did a video where he's like, you see this? And he, he like half closed his hand. He's like, I can't close my pinky more than this. And then he showed his other hand. He's like, see, I can make a fist. The first guy ever who has been, uh, who went undrafted, didn't play in college because he hurt his pinky. Also, I don't know if you guys know this, but when you sign with an NFL team, they make you do a physical, but also a mental evaluation, psychological evaluation, and emotional evaluation.

• 6:39Speaker 02

  I did see that.

• 6:40Speaker 00

  That's for people who know ball.

• 6:41Speaker 02

  I did see that. And he also had a fake financial advisor.

• 6:44Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 6:45Speaker 02

  That was part of the scam. So we had a, the way that he, he scammed mostly women out of money was he would meet up with them, go on a date. They'd think that maybe they were dating a football player because they didn't know how to do a Google search on the guy.

• 6:57Speaker 00

  Well, and also he brought his helmet to the dinner.

• 6:59Speaker 02

  Hey, as one does.

• 7:00Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 7:01Speaker 03

  Sure. No, Google, he like, he like beat the algorithm by like making it his Instagram bio. So if you.

• 7:06Speaker 02

  The AI.

• 7:06Speaker 03

  Googled him.

• 7:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 7:08Speaker 03

  The quick, like quick Google results said he's a player on the 49ers.

• 7:11Speaker 02

  Yeah. The AI summary, because he fed it so hard with his Instagram account, faked the AI summary, fooled it. So it did appear that he might've been a player, but you could just look them up. Like it's, it's free to look up the roster. They keep, these are public information.

• 7:24Speaker 00

  Correct.

• 7:25Speaker 02

  Uh, and the rosters that they have. Uh, so they weren't, I guess the women would go on dates with him. They'd just be like, oh, this is awesome. I knew I was, I knew I was waiting out for Mr. Right and, and it finally happened. Now I got an NFL player.

• 7:37Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 7:37Speaker 02

  And then he would have his financial advisor around who was an 18 year old man, I believe. Or, or, yeah, I guess man, like 18 years old. And then he would act like he was talking to his financial advisor, introduce them to one of these women, be like, you know, he usually only deals with, uh, with upscale clientele and you know, minimum deposit of $10 million, but since you're with me, I can get you in. And so they would just kind of bleed his dates dry, investing in a fake financial situation with an 18 year old kid that was his best friend.

• 8:08Speaker 00

  Yeah. We did, listen, we failed as a podcast. We need to get more women listening to PMT because I feel like we could have helped them, uh, avoid this because it, it's just such a funny, watching all these stories come out. Again, if you watch any football and you just see his body, his body is not a football player's body. Like, it's not like he's fat, but he's just, he has no muscle tone that a football player has.

• 8:31Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 8:32Speaker 00

  The, the route he ran in, in the sand was so slow. He was doing like high knees in another clip I saw that was so slow. And then, and then you have like juxtaposed with, did you guys see the clip of Myles Garrett and Will Anderson doing box jumps?

• 8:46Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 8:46Speaker 00

  And they literally look like they're levitating.

• 8:48Speaker 02

  Just defying gravity. Yeah.

• 8:49Speaker 00

  Yeah. You, you see an NFL player and how different they move. And then you see Dejounte Love running a slow route in, with his foot, he had his foot the wrong way as a wide receiver.

• 9:02Speaker 02

  The funniest part of this route that he ran in the sand was him and I guess his personal trainer, um, or his coach, before he runs this route, they sit there and they map this route out on a football. Like they're taking a lot of time. He's like, I want you to do this, this, this, and this on this route. And then he just kind of runs like two steps and then barely turns to the right.

• 9:21Speaker 00

  Yep. Uh, always got his helmet on, always has his helmet with him.

• 9:25Speaker 02

  Keep that thing on.

• 9:25Speaker 00

  He actually traded himself to the Rams. I don't know if you saw that recently break.

• 9:29Speaker 02

  It's a tough business.

• 9:29Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 9:30Speaker 03

  But he's still close to the Bay.

• 9:32Speaker 00

  Yeah. He's close to the Bay and he had, he had other options coming out of college, even though he couldn't produce one. There was a, there was a text message that I saw that a woman who clearly knew football, like he was trying to trap her and she was just like, oh, that's awesome. You play football. Can I see some of your highlights? And he's like, I don't have any. I've been injured. She's like, oh, but you have highlights from college, right? He's like, no, I was injured in college. She's like, oh, so you, you're in the NFL and you didn't play it down in college?

• 10:00Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 10:00Speaker 00

  He's like, why are you pressing me?

• 10:02Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 10:03Speaker 03

  Crushed the private workout.

• 10:05Speaker 00

  The emotional part of the workout.

• 10:07Speaker 02

  Yeah. Listen, I had, I had a great Wonderlic score. All right.

• 10:09Speaker 00

  Oh, man.

• 10:10Speaker 02

  Now, yeah, Taylor, Jamie Chan, his 18 year old financial advisor picked off 1.3 mil. Um, I'm, I'm excited to see the documentary that's going to come out about this guy.

• 10:20Speaker 00

  Oh, it will be incredible.

• 10:23Speaker 02

  Non-zero chance he ends up in Congress.

• 10:25Speaker 00

  Incredible. Yeah.

• 10:26Speaker 02

  That's kind of their career path.

• 10:27Speaker 00

  It's just gonna be, it's, it's gonna be so fucking good to watch this all. Like when I, when we can get talking to some of these people, again, the, the turkey Thanksgiving, the Thanksgiving giveaway just changed everything in my mind. I was like, this guy sucks. And I was like, holy shit. This guy, I think he might actually think he's in the league.

• 10:44Speaker 03

  There's a lot of women that came forward, but there's probably also a lot of women that were just too embarrassed.

• 10:48Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 10:48Speaker 03

  But like.

• 10:49Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 10:49Speaker 03

  We're like, fuck.

• 10:50Speaker 02

  Did anybody go to this turkey giveaway? Did anybody show up?

• 10:54Speaker 00

  I don't know.

• 10:54Speaker 02

  And be like, hey, where's the turkeys?

• 10:56Speaker 00

  1,500 turkey giveaway, free event.

• 10:59Speaker 02

  That should have been a red.

• 10:59Speaker 00

  Live DJ music and fun.

• 11:01Speaker 02

  You know how much 1,500 turkeys cost? That's a shitload of money. That's been injured for the last couple of years.

• 11:08Speaker 00

  He also, I don't know if you guys saw, but he, so he, he reposted clips that other people, actual NFL players posted. He had one that was supposed to be from the 49ers locker room that was just so clearly the Chiefs locker room. It was just the Chiefs logo on the ground and it was, it was so obvious wasn't the 49ers. So he wasn't like this mastermind. He was just, he just got, he got some people that we need to get our ball knowledge up as a country so that we can stop people like this.

• 11:39Speaker 02

  What's the difference between what he's doing? Cause I, I want to take a side.

• 11:43Speaker 00

  Well, Stephen Jackson, did you see? He came out and was like, you guys are all laughing at him. It's no different than you're wearing a jersey on a Sunday.

• 11:49Speaker 02

  That's what I was gonna say. We're anti jersey on this podcast.

• 11:51Speaker 00

  Quite a zag.

• 11:52Speaker 02

  Like that's kind of crazy. But my other real question is, um, like what's different about what, what's his name? Daquan?

• 11:59Speaker 00

  Dejounte.

• 12:00Speaker 02

  Dejounte Love. What's the difference between what Dejounte Love is doing for the 49ers and what Brandon Iuk is doing for the commanders?

• 12:07Speaker 00

  There was a lot of those jokes going around. J J McCarthy. They had like the, you know, guys showing up and pretending to be, but yeah, Brandon Iuk is definitely what?

• 12:16Speaker 02

  That's, I mean, think about it.

• 12:17Speaker 00

  If you want to go, if you want to go real conspiracy theory, fingers up. Uh, the 49ers have had a hell of a off season, have they not? Or last month, Kyle Shanahan gets in a car accident that doesn't get reported for a couple of weeks. Guys get injured. Jed York gets arrested in East Palestine, looking to hook up. This is kind of the perfect story to be like, yeah, hey, let's laugh at this. Hey, the 49ers are actually the victims.

• 12:45Speaker 03

  Yeah. Type in 49ers scandal and that's probably saying going right now.

• 12:48Speaker 00

  Yeah. Do that right now. Type, no, type it in on, on Google.

• 12:51Speaker 02

  This honestly, it's a feel good story. Yeah. I mean, obviously it's feel bad for the ladies that got.

• 12:55Speaker 00

  I hope they get their money back. Yeah. That part sucks.

• 12:57Speaker 02

  That does stink, but, uh, all in all, kind of lighthearted.

• 13:01Speaker 00

  Okay. So he is right now, uh, the first and the third hit. Jed York is still the second hit.

• 13:07Speaker 02

  Now, is, is this guy in prison right now?

• 13:10Speaker 00

  I think so. He got arrested. Yeah.

• 13:11Speaker 02

  Does he need representation?

• 13:13Speaker 00

  I was like.

• 13:13Speaker 02

  I'm looking for my first client.

• 13:15Speaker 00

  I honestly like, I would love to have him on the podcast. Yeah. Just ask him like what, and maybe actually interview him as Dejounte Love, like the football player and be like, so what happened in college? Oh, yeah. Was it, was it a coach situation? I know the pinky.

• 13:28Speaker 02

  How's the hand doing?

• 13:28Speaker 00

  Yeah. Like, can he still grip?

• 13:30Speaker 02

  Like, do you think that if maybe, uh, you didn't practice at the substation, that maybe you'd have a healthier grip strength right now?

• 13:36Speaker 00

  He also did pick the perfect team in the 49ers. Like they, Dejounte Love, if he didn't get arrested, like they, they could be in a situation where they might need him this year.

• 13:43Speaker 02

  The 49ers should issue, should issue a statement saying, hey, we, um, we're banning Dejounte Love from all, all team facilities.

• 13:49Speaker 00

  I think they should work him out.

• 13:51Speaker 02

  No means no.

• 13:51Speaker 00

  It's like, we lost Ricky Pierceall. Let's see what this guy's got. We saw that route in the sand.

• 13:56Speaker 02

  I got an idea. Mount Rushmore season, the loser, maybe they have to commit to a bit of turning their entire Instagram into a fake professional football player for a franchise for the entire football season.

• 14:11Speaker 03

  That'd be funny.

• 14:12Speaker 00

  That would be funny.

• 14:13Speaker 02

  And you gotta get like real professional looking with all the videos and clips you put up.

• 14:17Speaker 00

  Yeah. A post game, press conference.

• 14:20Speaker 03

  What do you think he did on Sundays?

• 14:22Speaker 00

  Yeah. Like what did the, like, what did his, uh, girlfriends say? Like, hey, can I come to your game?

• 14:29Speaker 02

  He's not playing.

• 14:29Speaker 00

  How's that question go? Yeah. He said, I, I saw a couple of them being like, yeah, I travel with the team, uh, or I, I don't travel with the team, but sometimes I do, you know, basically saying he's on the practice squad. Uh, just a great, it's, sometimes you just need a story where it's like everyone, everyone in unison can dunk on someone, you know? And that's really what he provided for us. There's no real, there's no real gray area. It's just a, it's a good laugh all around. Again, I feel bad for the women that got scammed.

• 15:00Speaker 02

  This guy's rental car budget must've been through the roof.

• 15:02Speaker 00

  Insane.

• 15:03Speaker 03

  Well, it's probably that was just the money that the women, like that was, it was a Ponys game where they give him money for investments and he just uses it on cars to scam other women.

• 15:13Speaker 00

  He had Superbowl highlights in his Instagram too. So he actually, I think, said that he was, uh, part of the, the team that went to the Superbowl. That's pretty cool. And I think he said that too. He was like, I, when I was deciding which team to go for, go to, like, I didn't want to, I didn't want to just play ball to play ball. I wanted to be part of a winning culture. The Raiders called, I said, actually he's really sad for the Raiders. They couldn't even sign a fake wide receiver.

• 15:37Speaker 02

  I don't know how no one like, someone from his childhood, like.

• 15:41Speaker 00

  I, I think his Instagram was maybe private and I know that the comments, the comments were off. So I think he was pretty, pretty strict with that. But yeah.

• 15:52Speaker 02

  This guy, he, one of the fake pictures he, he put up was a fake picture of him in a fake guardian cap too.

• 15:57Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 15:57Speaker 02

  That rocks.

• 15:58Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. Like I said, like some of these are just so fun.

• 16:01Speaker 03

  Can't get injured again.

• 16:02Speaker 02

  He should blame it on fake CTE.

• 16:03Speaker 00

  Yeah. He had, he had fake concussions and fake turkeys.

• 16:07Speaker 02

  Yeah. This is tough.

• 16:08Speaker 00

  Dejounte Love.

• 16:08Speaker 02

  Fake injuries.

• 16:09Speaker 03

  The, the video resurface of, of Dr. Love, which is the funniest game of all time.

• 16:14Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 16:15Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah. I forgot about him. I forgot about him. We also had, um, the, the, uh, the Cleveland Guardians posted their starting lineup on Saturday with a picture of Dejounte Love. So like I said, it's like, it's become, it's become one of those things where everyone's getting in on it.

• 16:32Speaker 02

  I love it. I just needed to wait, wait a week and then everyone stopped talking about the Jane Daniels five lawsuit.

• 16:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 16:37Speaker 02

  Just something else always pops up.

• 16:38Speaker 00

  Yeah. That's how the internet moves. Yeah. The internet's always moving. It's always going.

• 16:42Speaker 02

  And then in, in real football news, Aaron Donald finally, as we kind of knew that he was going to do, when he started like working out at the team facility and like, they had to put him on a, like practice reports because he was using a, a team issued helmet. Uh, we knew that he was going to come back. He saw Myles Garrett. He's like, okay, you know what? All of a sudden I feel pretty good. Would like to play with this guy. Of course we knew he's coming back. He's getting a big contract. A lot of incentives. I think it could be like up to $30 million if they make the Superbowl. Um, this on, this is, they're, they're the on paper champions.

• 17:13Speaker 00

  Well, I was gonna say.

• 17:14Speaker 02

  The dream team.

• 17:15Speaker 00

  Are we, yeah. Are we officially calling them a super team?

• 17:18Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:18Speaker 00

  Because that means they won't win at all.

• 17:20Speaker 02

  Super team.

• 17:20Speaker 00

  But they are a super team.

• 17:21Speaker 02

  Well, let's see. They, the trade for Garrett wouldn't put them in super team discussions.

• 17:30Speaker 00

  No, but Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett.

• 17:32Speaker 02

  Aaron Donald coming back. Yeah.

• 17:34Speaker 00

  Super team.

• 17:34Speaker 02

  I'd like to see.

• 17:35Speaker 00

  I mean, this was a team that was a play away from the Superbowl last year and they just added two of the best.

• 17:42Speaker 02

  Who did they add on offense? Ty Simpson.

• 17:45Speaker 00

  Ty Simpson.

• 17:45Speaker 02

  Super team.

• 17:46Speaker 00

  Yeah, that was huge.

• 17:47Speaker 02

  Yeah. Super team.

• 17:47Speaker 00

  With their first round pick, Ty Simpson. I think, yeah, I mean, depending on where that, that's the other, Puka, is Puka on the, um, the list? He's not on the list. I know Josh Jacobs is.

• 17:58Speaker 02

  Wait, what list?

• 17:59Speaker 00

  The, uh, commissioner's exempt list, I think, which is kind of a confusing way to, isn't it?

• 18:05Speaker 02

  Honestly, as far as I know, and it's probably because I don't pay enough attention to the rule, but the commissioner's exempt list tends to be used for guys that get caught beating up their girlfriends.

• 18:15Speaker 00

  Right. But isn't that a weird?

• 18:16Speaker 02

  It's the.

• 18:18Speaker 00

  Wouldn't you say the commissioner's exempt list, you'd be like, those guys, they can play because they're exempt.

• 18:24Speaker 02

  They're exempt from the rules.

• 18:25Speaker 00

  Yeah. It's confusing. When I saw it, I was like, wait a second.

• 18:29Speaker 02

  I think it's like an exemption from team issued roster moves. The commissioner steps in. So I guess, is Josh Jacobs, he's, he's technically playing for Goodell?

• 18:39Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 18:40Speaker 02

  That's Goodell's first overall pick this year?

• 18:41Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 18:42Speaker 02

  Nice message.

• 18:43Speaker 00

  So yeah, Josh Jacobs, it, we'll see what happens with that situation. I feel like it's, it's similar to Ray Rice. And it's like, is the, there's alleged footage. Is it going to come out? Cause then Goodell, remember the Ray Rice thing?

• 18:54Speaker 02

  Yeah. Two games.

• 18:55Speaker 00

  Goodell did not act. And then the footage came out and everyone's like, whoa, which is fucked up about our society hole that you need to actually see it to believe it. But that's just how the NFL works and how everyone somehow works. It's like, oh yeah, I guess that is bad.

• 19:09Speaker 02

  Like if you, if you're an owner and you get caught with a hooker, but there's no video of it, probably slap on the wrist.

• 19:16Speaker 00

  Right.

• 19:17Speaker 02

  But if there was a video, then you'd probably be forced to sell your team and kicked out.

• 19:20Speaker 00

  Yes. Yeah. That, that's fair.

• 19:23Speaker 02

  We had a couple of names that, uh, got released.

• 19:26Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 19:27Speaker 02

  Prayers up for these guys.

• 19:28Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 19:30Speaker 02

  Hope they can find a new job somewhere else. Our boy, Will Levis.

• 19:34Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 19:34Speaker 02

  The, uh, the road's over for him in, in Tennessee.

• 19:37Speaker 00

  I think someone's got to take a shot.

• 19:38Speaker 02

  Absolutely. He'll, he'll get a shot somewhere. Um, Odell Beckham made the Giants.

• 19:43Speaker 00

  Odell Beckham made the Giants.

• 19:44Speaker 02

  Looks just as young as ever.

• 19:46Speaker 00

  Yep. I don't know how, father time. He's just like, it's undefeated when it comes to Odell Beckham. Yeah. He looks so young.

• 19:53Speaker 02

  Look at, look at that face, Hank.

• 19:54Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 19:54Speaker 02

  Look at his face.

• 19:55Speaker 03

  The cheeks. No, he, he looks.

• 19:56Speaker 00

  Yeah. Incredible.

• 19:57Speaker 03

  As young as ever.

• 19:58Speaker 00

  I, I gotta know what his secret is.

• 20:00Speaker 02

  Probably, uh, wearing leather.

• 20:01Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 20:01Speaker 02

  Like if you get those cheekbones popping like that, it's usually that you've committed to a leather lifestyle.

• 20:05Speaker 00

  It's leather for sure.

• 20:06Speaker 03

  What happened with nine?

• 20:08Speaker 00

  Uh, so nine, so there's, there are four teams that have kept four quarterbacks, which makes you think like, what's going to happen there? They, they probably won't go into the season, you know, like, are they going to trade someone? Uh, maybe a practice squad? The Vikings are one of them. The Vikings kept Kyler Murray, who's the starter, J J McCarthy, Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer. There was a report on Saturday night, which was just pure speculation that J J McCarthy would not make the 53 man roster. He did make the 53 man roster. He also had like a sprained ankle, so he couldn't play in the last preseason game. I've, I've stated multiple times, I, I think, I, I'm not saying J J McCarthy's done as a player in the NFL. I do think his time in Minnesota feels like it's done.

• 20:53Speaker 00

  Cause they kept Carson Wentz. Like I, I think Carson Wentz would probably be the backup, right?

• 20:57Speaker 02

  Yeah. That's what it seems like.

• 20:59Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 20:59Speaker 02

  Uh, so yeah, there'll be another team. I'm sure that gives him a chance. Other names, uh, Sam Hartman was released today. Hinden Hooker was released today. The 49ers have the opportunity, the funniest thing ever with Hinden Hooker. Um, and Eli Apple, Eli Apple, forgot about him. He got released today as well.

• 21:18Speaker 00

  I did forget about it.

• 21:19Speaker 02

  Um, so what was the other team? The, the Vikings and who else?

• 21:22Speaker 00

  So the Vikings, the Steelers kept, uh, they just have four starting quarterbacks. If you talk to Jersey Jerry, the Steelers kept Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and Drew Aller. The Falcons kept Tua, Michael Pennix, Cooper Rush and Jack Strand. And the Eagles kept Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, Andy Dalton and Cole Payton. Speaking of which, that's a perfect segue. I didn't, I, I did not know that Andy Dalton was on the Eagles.

• 21:46Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 21:47Speaker 00

  Uh, Zach, so we do this every year. I'm gonna do a DraftKings read before, but let me intro it. We do this every year. Same faces, new places. Guys that are on new teams that I think we all as fans maybe missed through the crack. There was actually, the reason why I got, I decided to tell you to do today, Zach, was I got a bunch of tweets saying you guys need to do it. Because Keenan Allen getting arrested for the Colts, I think there was a lot of people being like, wait, he's on the Colts? So this happens. You just have a couple, you know, we're not talking about the, the, the premier guys where we know Kyler's on the Vikings. But a Keenan Allen or an Andy Dalton, these type of guys. All right, let me do the DraftKings read and then Zach, you'll take it away and give us.

• 22:30Speaker 00

  I think last year you did it and you gave us some names that none of us had ever, you gave us. De'Jon Love.

• 22:36Speaker 03

  Yeah. New places.

• 24:09Speaker 00

  Okay, Zach, take it away. So we have not looked. I'm sure we're gonna get some of these wrong.

• 24:14Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 24:15Speaker 00

  But give it to us, Zach.

• 24:17Speaker 04

  What do you guys think Emmanuel Wilson ended up?

• 24:21Speaker 03

  Panthers.

• 24:23Speaker 00

  I don't know. I don't know.

• 24:25Speaker 04

  He's with Seahawks.

• 24:26Speaker 00

  Okay, okay.

• 24:28Speaker 03

  Panthers is always a good guess for these.

• 24:29Speaker 00

  Yeah, Panthers is a really good guess.

• 24:31Speaker 03

  That's been the most frequent one, yeah.

• 24:32Speaker 00

  Do you have, uh, one I learned last week, uh, I think I knew it, but then it like popped up in something, uh, Tariq Wolin is on the Eagles. You just mentioned Seahawks. That one was, I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. That makes sense.

• 24:49Speaker 04

  What do you guys thoughts on, uh,

• 24:52Speaker 04

  Jalen Thompson?

• 24:55Speaker 03

  Seahawks.

• 24:55Speaker 02

  Have some strong thoughts.

• 24:56Speaker 00

  Panthers.

• 24:57Speaker 02

  I think he's probably a Falcon.

• 25:01Speaker 04

  Jalen Thompson is on the Cowboys.

• 25:02Speaker 00

  Okay, okay. Yeah, damn, we're really close.

• 25:05Speaker 04

  Great for him, you know? All right, what about, uh?

• 25:07Speaker 00

  What about some names we know?

• 25:09Speaker 04

  Yeah, what if we just get into, what do you guys think Kirk Cousins is at right now?

• 25:12Speaker 00

  We know Kirk Cousins.

• 25:13Speaker 02

  Yeah, he's a Raider.

• 25:14Speaker 00

  Yeah, we know he's a Raider.

• 25:15Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:15Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's good. Let us see a couple go through the hoop.

• 25:18Speaker 04

  Kirk Cousins coast to coast.

• 25:19Speaker 02

  Emmanuel Wilson, you gotta know Emmanuel Wilson.

• 25:21Speaker 04

  Geno Smith?

• 25:22Speaker 00

  Geno Smith is a Jet.

• 25:23Speaker 02

  Yeah, seven Sunday heroes.

• 25:25Speaker 03

  What coast?

• 25:26Speaker 00

  Can we find the middle ground here?

• 25:28Speaker 04

  Thoughts on Tyler Wallace?

• 25:29Speaker 00

  Neither.

• 25:32Speaker 03

  Kirk Cousins didn't go from a coast, nor did he go to a coast.

• 25:35Speaker 00

  Correct. He's not on a coast.

• 25:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:38Speaker 00

  He's actually.

• 25:39Speaker 02

  Atlanta.

• 25:39Speaker 00

  Hasn't been in the coast for a really long time.

• 25:42Speaker 04

  As far as like making up the distance of the United States, roughly coast to coast?

• 25:46Speaker 02

  Been landlocked his entire career.

• 25:47Speaker 04

  That's so much distance, you know what I mean, in between?

• 25:49Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah, I guess.

• 25:51Speaker 03

  East to west.

• 25:52Speaker 02

  He's like.

• 25:52Speaker 03

  South to west.

• 25:53Speaker 02

  He's in the desert.

• 25:54Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 25:54Speaker 03

  Southeast of southwest.

• 25:57Speaker 02

  Like saying Moses went coast to coast. He's just in Vegas.

• 25:59Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 26:00Speaker 04

  Coast to Jason for sure. Uh, you guys, what do you guys thoughts on, uh, Alex Azalone?

• 26:05Speaker 00

  Tyler Wallace.

• 26:08Speaker 02

  Anzaloni?

• 26:09Speaker 00

  Tyler Wallace, I believe is a Brown, because the, the.

• 26:12Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 26:13Speaker 00

  Bears played the Browns.

• 26:13Speaker 04

  Correct.

• 26:15Speaker 02

  I, I mean, I always want to say Lion, but he's probably not a Lion.

• 26:18Speaker 00

  I know this.

• 26:18Speaker 02

  For asking me like new place.

• 26:21Speaker 00

  No, I actually do.

• 26:22Speaker 02

  I could see him.

• 26:24Speaker 00

  Oh, this one's gonna piss me off.

• 26:26Speaker 02

  I could see him in Florida.

• 26:28Speaker 00

  No, he's a Buck.

• 26:29Speaker 04

  That is correct.

• 26:29Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 26:30Speaker 04

  On 10 Bay Bucks.

• 26:30Speaker 00

  Okay, that's a good one. That's a good one.

• 26:35Speaker 04

  We'll go with, uh, Neshon Wright?

• 26:37Speaker 00

  Neshon Wright. Where did he sign?

• 26:42Speaker 00

  I know Brisker went to the Steelers and Kevin Byard went to the Patriots. Neshon Wright. Did he go to the?

• 26:50Speaker 00

  Am I using the right?

• 26:51Speaker 03

  Jags.

• 26:53Speaker 00

  Did you look it up? Ravens? No.

• 26:55Speaker 02

  Falcons.

• 26:57Speaker 04

  Close.

• 26:57Speaker 00

  Jets. Hey, that's good for the interceptions.

• 27:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 27:01Speaker 00

  He does get toasted a lot though memes, just so you know. But he can make the play on the ball.

• 27:07Speaker 02

  We're just worried about getting an interception.

• 27:08Speaker 00

  He'll get you an interception. He will get you an interception. Okay?

• 27:12Speaker 04

  Rodney Thomas II?

• 27:15Speaker 00

  Rodney Thomas II.

• 27:18Speaker 00

  You gotta have to tell us this one.

• 27:19Speaker 03

  Giants.

• 27:21Speaker 02

  I think he's on.

• 27:22Speaker 04

  Close-ish.

• 27:23Speaker 00

  He's a. Shane, why don't you take over this list and tell us some names that are, uh?

• 27:26Speaker 05

  He has some good names on here.

• 27:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 27:28Speaker 04

  All right, what do we think about, uh?

• 27:29Speaker 02

  Wait, wait, wait.

• 27:30Speaker 04

  Isaiah Likely.

• 27:30Speaker 02

  Where'd he go? Where'd he go?

• 27:31Speaker 00

  Isaiah Likely's on the Giants. Harbaugh brought him.

• 27:34Speaker 04

  What do we think about Tua?

• 27:36Speaker 00

  Tua's on the Falcons.

• 27:37Speaker 04

  So you know, we'll go through. Jalen Watson.

• 27:41Speaker 00

  Give, give Shane the.

• 27:42Speaker 04

  Dolphins.

• 27:42Speaker 00

  Jalen Watson is on the, wait, I know this. Uh, is he on the Eagles? No, no, no, no. Where did Jalen Watson go?

• 27:55Speaker 02

  Titans.

• 27:57Speaker 00

  No, I don't know. Chargers. What do you got there Shane?

• 28:02Speaker 05

  Rams. He also has Myles Garrett on here.

• 28:06Speaker 05

  Bradley Chubb.

• 28:08Speaker 02

  Oh, Bradley Chubb, where, where did he go? Is he, um, I want to say the Bills?

• 28:12Speaker 05

  He is. Elijah Vera Tucker.

• 28:16Speaker 04

  Packers.

• 28:19Speaker 02

  That'd be the Patriot tank.

• 28:21Speaker 00

  Oh, okay. That was a trick question. That was not nice.

• 28:24Speaker 02

  Love that one.

• 28:24Speaker 00

  He loved that one. All right Shane, you take over. Tell us some names that actually help the people at home.

• 28:31Speaker 05

  What does that mean?

• 28:32Speaker 00

  Well, I mean, names that are like recognizable names.

• 28:35Speaker 05

  Oh, Wondell Robinson.

• 28:37Speaker 02

  Where did Wondell go?

• 28:38Speaker 00

  See, this is a good name.

• 28:40Speaker 03

  Wondell.

• 28:41Speaker 00

  Where did Wondell?

• 28:42Speaker 02

  Come back to me. Give me a hint. You guys should know this.

• 28:46Speaker 00

  Is he on the Titans?

• 28:47Speaker 05

  Cool jerseys.

• 28:48Speaker 00

  Do you follow, uh, Dable? Yeah. That's right. Cause Dable and Harbaugh both took a lot of their players.

• 28:54Speaker 05

  Same thing with ex-Jets players. They're all in the Titans.

• 28:58Speaker 00

  Right, right, right.

• 28:59Speaker 05

  This is a good one. Tavandre Sweat.

• 29:07Speaker 00

  Don't know.

• 29:08Speaker 03

  Jets.

• 29:08Speaker 00

  Falcons.

• 29:09Speaker 05

  Jets.

• 29:09Speaker 00

  Jets. Nice. That's a nice signing.

• 29:12Speaker 05

  Uh, Jawan Jennings.

• 29:15Speaker 03

  Packers.

• 29:16Speaker 05

  Nope.

• 29:17Speaker 00

  Is he on the, no, he's on the Bucks.

• 29:20Speaker 05

  Same division as the Packers. Shanahan adjacent.

• 29:26Speaker 00

  Is he on the Vikings?

• 29:27Speaker 05

  He is.

• 29:28Speaker 00

  Oh, okay, okay, okay. Now we're cooking with some names.

• 29:33Speaker 02

  Let me see, let me see.

• 29:34Speaker 00

  I saw, uh, what's his name? Fuck, what is, uh?

• 29:37Speaker 05

  Rico Dowdell.

• 29:39Speaker 00

  Rico Dowdell?

• 29:40Speaker 02

  That's a good one.

• 29:41Speaker 00

  Shit.

• 29:42Speaker 03

  Chargers.

• 29:46Speaker 03

  Did Dewey?

• 29:47Speaker 00

  Is he on the?

• 29:49Speaker 03

  Panthers.

• 29:50Speaker 00

  Is he on the Steelers? Because they, because then they, and then they traded today, uh, Caleb, uh, what's his name from Iowa? They traded him to the Packers.

• 29:58Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 29:59Speaker 00

  Yeah. Caleb Johnson, I believe.

• 30:02Speaker 05

  Kenneth Gainwell.

• 30:04Speaker 02

  Oh, Kenny.

• 30:06Speaker 00

  Kenny, that's your guy.

• 30:07Speaker 05

  Texans. Nope.

• 30:09Speaker 00

  Is he Chargers?

• 30:10Speaker 05

  Bucks.

• 30:11Speaker 00

  Bucks, okay. That's a good pickup for them.

• 30:13Speaker 02

  Yeah. He was the only player worth watching on the Steelers last year.

• 30:17Speaker 05

  We got, uh.

• 30:18Speaker 00

  These are good. These are good. Not that yours were bad Zach, but they were kind of dog shit.

• 30:22Speaker 05

  Reed Blankenship.

• 30:24Speaker 00

  Reed Blankenship's Texans.

• 30:25Speaker 05

  He is.

• 30:26Speaker 00

  Yes. I remember seeing that.

• 30:28Speaker 05

  Then all the other ones are pretty much either big names or guys I don't know.

• 30:33Speaker 00

  Give us a guy you don't know.

• 30:34Speaker 05

  Okay, uh,

• 30:38Speaker 05

  Demario Davis. No, I do know him. Uh, David Onyamata.

• 30:43Speaker 02

  David Onyamata. It sounds like Junior Soprano. You put a curse on somebody. Onyamata.

• 30:51Speaker 00

  Where did he go?

• 30:53Speaker 05

  He went to the Jets.

• 30:54Speaker 02

  Jets, I feel like the Jets have had half these answers.

• 30:57Speaker 05

  Jets have about 10 guys on this list.

• 30:58Speaker 02

  You guys just did like a roster transplant.

• 31:00Speaker 05

  Ooh, this is a good one. Minka Fitzpatrick.

• 31:02Speaker 00

  Oh, I know this. Fuck. Oh, he's on the Giants.

• 31:07Speaker 05

  Jets as well.

• 31:08Speaker 00

  All right, I was close enough. I was close enough. That should count. That's a half a point. If you get the same stadium. That's good. Jets? I'm telling you, we're gonna get, we're talking about with Pete Prisco, but I think Jets could be frisky.

• 31:22Speaker 05

  We're gonna be scrappy. Don't have a kicker.

• 31:24Speaker 00

  Yeah, I think you're gonna be frisky this year. I think the Giants and Jets are gonna be frisky teams. Your offensive line's good, right?

• 31:31Speaker 05

  Offensive line's good.

• 31:32Speaker 00

  And that's, Gino, Gino can't play with a bad offensive line. Like that was, last year was just a joke because that offensive line was bad.

• 31:40Speaker 05

  No, they're gonna figure out a way to be good and lose because of their kicker every single week.

• 31:44Speaker 02

  Which is exactly what you want.

• 31:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 31:46Speaker 02

  Right where you want to be. You want to have a competitive, physical football team that just happens to lose.

• 31:51Speaker 05

  Yeah, and we're gonna say we're going in the right direction. That's all that matters.

• 31:55Speaker 00

  Yep. Uh, all right. Any other big ones? I'm gonna, I'm gonna Google it right now, just in case we didn't miss any big ones.

• 32:01Speaker 05

  No, that's really basically it. I mean, there's the Mike Evans of the world. There's.

• 32:06Speaker 00

  Yeah, we know those.

• 32:07Speaker 05

  Trey Hendrickson, DJ Moore.

• 32:09Speaker 00

  Mike Evans is on the 49ers.

• 32:10Speaker 05

  Romeo Dobbs.

• 32:11Speaker 00

  DJ Moore's on the Bills. Trey Hendrickson's on the Ravens.

• 32:17Speaker 03

  Jets? I was kidding. He's on the Patriots.

• 32:18Speaker 02

  Okay, there we go.

• 32:20Speaker 00

  Yeah, well, list the big ones, just so that we have them, so people can, because there are some people

• 32:25Speaker 02

  Lindnerbaum?

• 32:26Speaker 00

  They start paying attention right now.

• 32:27Speaker 05

  Lindnerbaum, yep.

• 32:27Speaker 02

  The Raiders?

• 32:28Speaker 05

  David and Joku, Chargers.

• 32:30Speaker 00

  Yeah, we saw it happen.

• 32:32Speaker 05

  We did.

• 32:33Speaker 00

  Literally saw it happen.

• 32:34Speaker 05

  Yep. Um, Kenneth Walker, Chigakonkwo.

• 32:41Speaker 02

  Is huge. Yep, massive on the commanders.

• 32:44Speaker 05

  Uh, Isaiah Likely, Wondell Robinson, Jwan. There was A.J. Brown, Trent McDuffie.

• 32:52Speaker 00

  Trent McDuffie is now on the Rams.

• 32:54Speaker 05

  He is, he got traded.

• 32:55Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 32:57Speaker 00

  Yeah, the big ones we know.

• 32:57Speaker 05

  Malik Willis, Jets, or Dolphins, Geno Smith, Jets.

• 33:01Speaker 00

  Okay, I feel like we got everyone ready.

• 33:03Speaker 02

  That's a, there's a lot of names.

• 33:05Speaker 00

  A lot of names, but it's important to do.

• 33:07Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 33:07Speaker 00

  Because you don't want to be the guy, week one, you're like, wait, what?

• 33:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, I, Kenneth Gainwell, good to lock that one in.

• 33:13Speaker 00

  That's a really good lock.

• 33:14Speaker 02

  Rick Goddard, good to lock that one in, both of those.

• 33:16Speaker 00

  Wondell, good to lock him in.

• 33:18Speaker 02

  Yep, locked, three locks.

• 33:20Speaker 00

  That's huge locks, huge locks, but it's good that we're done with preseason. We are ready for real football.

• 33:25Speaker 02

  I can't wait.

• 33:26Speaker 00

  It's, it's gonna be great. Okay, what else we have going on in the sports world? Scottie Scheffler wins, what does he win?

• 33:32Speaker 03

  He wants, he's the FedEx Cup champion.

• 33:34Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 33:35Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 33:35Speaker 03

  Which also probably locked him up for Player of the Year.

• 33:39Speaker 00

  He's Player of the Year?

• 33:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 33:40Speaker 00

  Okay, that's good for him.

• 33:42Speaker 03

  He won $10 million.

• 33:43Speaker 02

  How do they determine Player of the Year?

• 33:45Speaker 03

  Uh, players, it's a player's vote.

• 33:47Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 33:48Speaker 03

  So it was a little bit, I think him and Wyndham had won the same amount of events, but Wyndham had won a major. Scottie had way more second place finishes, so he had like, had a stronger season. But with the major, that was kind of, you know, splitting the, splitting people's votes, but then, you know, you win the FedEx Cup.

• 34:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's kind of crazy because we'd been talking about Scottie as though he were dead.

• 34:11Speaker 00

  Yeah, he's had a down year.

• 34:12Speaker 02

  Like, like, wow, this guy sucks. And he, no, it turns out he's still the best golfer in the world.

• 34:17Speaker 00

  Right.

• 34:17Speaker 02

  He's just not insanely, insanely dominant like he has been in the past, but he probably had as many second place finishes as anybody else, right? As many top 10s as anyone else.

• 34:25Speaker 03

  Way more.

• 34:26Speaker 00

  At, yeah, at, like, it's pretty nuts for Scottie to say, overall disappointing year, still Player of the Year. That's how good he is.

• 34:35Speaker 03

  And he passed Tiger Woods, all-time money leader.

• 34:38Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 34:39Speaker 03

  P.J. Torres.

• 34:40Speaker 00

  Yeah, which he's not even close to him in terms of sponsorships, but, yeah. That also is bigger purses, plays in a different league.

• 34:48Speaker 03

  Facts are facts.

• 34:49Speaker 00

  Facts are facts.

• 34:49Speaker 02

  Does Scottie have the president's number? Probably, actually.

• 34:52Speaker 00

  Yeah, he probably does.

• 34:53Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 34:53Speaker 00

  He probably does.

• 34:54Speaker 02

  Um, yeah, so Scottie had five runner-up results this year, and, uh, he was top five in three out of four majors. So like, all things considered, pretty good year for, for a normal human. For Scottie, it seems like a disappointment.

• 35:08Speaker 00

  Um, what's up, where's, what tournament is Mike Block playing in? Every time I just looked, it was just, Blocky was doing some kind of weird thing to the crowd. I think I'm back in on him because it's so ridiculous.

• 35:22Speaker 03

  It's so funny.

• 35:23Speaker 00

  He's gone through, like, he's gone through the wall where it was annoying, and now it's so absurd that I'm like, this guy, how does he? He's doing it to like, there's a gallery of five people, and he's, and he's like, he's pumping them up. I saw a clip where he pumped them up, and then he quieted them down.

• 35:41Speaker 03

  And he did, he like shot, he shot someone in the crowd, like he was, he was, he was like a maestro. He was pumping people up to his left, quieting people on his right, shot a couple people in the middle.

• 35:51Speaker 02

  He had this one shot on a par three that he knocked stiff to about 20 feet, and then, but then just went around like staring everybody down. Like freaked out after, pretty much did like a bat flip after getting a, a green in regulation. I love that we've got a guy like, it's the Champions Tour, right?

• 36:07Speaker 00

  He's, he's.

• 36:07Speaker 02

  It's a senior tour, is that what it is?

• 36:09Speaker 03

  It's a senior tour, I don't even think it's the Champions, it's like, it's like, it's like a step down from the Champions Tour.

• 36:13Speaker 02

  That's what I, I want somebody to take it, to be this much of a fucking psycho.

• 36:17Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 36:18Speaker 02

  In the senior division, I think that's awesome, and, yeah, Block ain't hurting nobody, he let him have his fun.

• 36:23Speaker 00

  He shoot him a Gavin without any of the wins.

• 36:25Speaker 03

  Yes, and he had the, he had, he was leading going into Sunday, and he choked.

• 36:29Speaker 00

  Oh, that's great.

• 36:30Speaker 02

  I know, they fucked him, though.

• 36:33Speaker 03

  Oh, no, it is the Champions Tour, it is the Champions Tour.

• 36:35Speaker 02

  Yeah, he got screwed over.

• 36:35Speaker 00

  He's walking off putts left and right, like staring at the crowd, he's looking directly in the camera, did you see that one where he just? He found the camera and just kind of like looked and, and pointed. Yeah, this, he pumps up the crowd.

• 36:49Speaker 03

  I mean, we've talked more about the Champions Tour in the last month than we ever have in the history of this podcast.

• 36:54Speaker 02

  Yeah, you're right, we gotta stop paying attention to secondary golf leagues.

• 36:57Speaker 03

  He's a draw, he's a draw, he's a draw.

• 36:59Speaker 02

  People are probably getting sick of all the Champions League talk that we're doing on this show.

• 37:03Speaker 03

  It's funny.

• 37:03Speaker 02

  Yeah. Uh, it is, it's very funny, like Block is, I know that people are, are gonna hate on him, and like the golf purists are gonna say like, you know, all the reasons why they don't like him. He's got one great result, and then he just kind of, he coasted on that for a while, and the attitude of, if I had, uh, Rory's Distance, I'd be as good as him. The, the ego without any of the talent behind it is very funny to me.

• 37:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 37:27Speaker 02

  And I love the fact that it is, uh, it's front and center on a senior tour. I want to see more of this from Block.

• 37:33Speaker 00

  Yeah, this is him pumping, he pumps up, he points to every part of the crowd, again, there's like 25 people there, gets them pumped up, gets them, gets them loud, and then he's like, hey, quiet down. After, he riles them up.

• 37:47Speaker 02

  It looked like he almost.

• 37:48Speaker 00

  There's no one there.

• 37:49Speaker 02

  It, it looked like he almost got like the two galleries on either side of the green in a contest against each other.

• 37:55Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 37:55Speaker 02

  It was like, who's gonna be louder at this senior event?

• 37:57Speaker 00

  Scream!

• 37:58Speaker 02

  I want to hear, I want to hear somebody scream.

• 37:59Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 38:00Speaker 02

  All right, ladies in the house.

• 38:01Speaker 00

  Let's try to break the record.

• 38:02Speaker 02

  And there's no ladies in the house.

• 38:05Speaker 00

  It's actually.

• 38:06Speaker 02

  It's a, it's a senior PGA Tour event, there's zero women.

• 38:09Speaker 00

  Two, where was this taking place?

• 38:11Speaker 02

  My guess is Florida.

• 38:12Speaker 00

  Uh, we got it, we gotta check the record scale. Blocky, it's a, Blocky, it's a putt.

• 38:17Speaker 02

  Uh-huh.

• 38:18Speaker 00

  2.1 on the record scale.

• 38:19Speaker 02

  Michigan, oh, Michigan, all right.

• 38:21Speaker 00

  Yeah, they're definitely with some.

• 38:22Speaker 03

  Saginaw.

• 38:24Speaker 00

  Earthquakes reported this weekend around the Saginaw area. Blocky was there.

• 38:29Speaker 03

  I mean, if he was five years earlier, he would be on live, he would have been live.

• 38:32Speaker 00

  Yeah, and he would have been elected, he probably could have saved live.

• 38:35Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 38:36Speaker 02

  You think it would have, would have paid for him?

• 38:37Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 38:38Speaker 03

  Yeah, well, I mean, again, he's a draw.

• 38:41Speaker 00

  He's exactly what lives need.

• 38:42Speaker 03

  He's a disruption to the game of golf.

• 38:44Speaker 00

  He is, all right, so we had, we did have real football this weekend, uh, UNC, TCU, perfect start to the, to the, to the football, uh, calendar year where it's like, two teams that have no history, obviously they played last year, playing in Ireland, we had, you know, weird snaps, three points scored in the second half, and Belichick might have his groove back?

• 39:09Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 39:09Speaker 00

  Cause that's a game, they were, they were seven and a half point dogs, he goes to, to Ireland, wins the first game of the year, year two, after like, you know, I don't know where, I think Steve Belichick's still on leave, Mike Lombardi, obviously gone, everything seemed to be falling apart, UNC.

• 39:28Speaker 03

  Heels, baby.

• 39:29Speaker 00

  He, he might have him.

• 39:30Speaker 03

  I felt something seeing him hold up that trophy, whatever, whatever trophy it was.

• 39:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, the Ireland trophy?

• 39:35Speaker 00

  It's a very important trophy.

• 39:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, huge.

• 39:36Speaker 00

  Do you think that's going next to the Super Bowls? It's got to.

• 39:40Speaker 02

  Well, probably going next to some of his rings that he just kind of keeps in a closet.

• 39:43Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 39:43Speaker 02

  Somewhere, but, yeah, it was good to see Bill, Bill get a win, um, as ugly as the game was, the first quarter was very fun to watch.

• 39:49Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 39:50Speaker 02

  And then, uh, the weather got shitty, and it looked like TCU's quarterback was not, he was never really comfortable holding the football.

• 39:57Speaker 00

  No, he's a Harvard transfer, and then he was going up against Billy Edwards, who is a ginger, it's like, he's winning in Ireland.

• 40:02Speaker 02

  Yeah, you're gonna want a quarterback that can hold on to a football weather standing still, especially if you're playing in Ireland.

• 40:08Speaker 00

  Speaking of which, uh, so the other games, there was not as fun a games, the, the, the other big story was USC with a pathetic crowd, and then.

• 40:17Speaker 02

  It was hot.

• 40:17Speaker 00

  A bunch of USC fans being like, do you understand how humid it was?

• 40:21Speaker 02

  It was really hot.

• 40:21Speaker 00

  Most humid day, and then someone had the, someone basically had, uh, did a well actually dunking on him, it's like, here is a clip from 2009 where it was 95 degrees, USC was playing San Jose State, and it was a packed Coliseum. This is what, this is the downside of like what has happened to not just USC football as a brand, but when you lose the Pac-12, it's like, it's gonna change things.

• 40:50Speaker 02

  It was hot, I, you're, I noticed that you're downplaying that it was hot.

• 40:53Speaker 00

  Well, it was humid more than it was hot.

• 40:55Speaker 02

  It was also hot.

• 40:55Speaker 00

  It was the most humidity that LA's had in a long time.

• 40:58Speaker 02

  It was a crazy heat wave, it was against San Jose State, and not exactly a, a strong regional rivalry there. Um, I wonder how much San Jose got paid to show up to get beat by, uh, USC for this game?

• 41:10Speaker 00

  I don't know, but.

• 41:10Speaker 02

  Probably pretty good.

• 41:11Speaker 00

  The clip of Lincoln Riley walking out like with his whole team to 15,000 people in the Coliseum, it was sad. USC's, when USC's good, it's fun.

• 41:21Speaker 02

  Also, you're also kind of dismissing the fact that Block was on TV.

• 41:25Speaker 00

  Yeah, and it was hot.

• 41:25Speaker 02

  And so the Block effect, people were, were at home watching the Champions Tour.

• 41:29Speaker 00

  You got it, you gotta watch that, um, but what I was gonna say was, uh, the, you know, with college football, with the transfer portal and everything, you just get reminded sometimes of like, oh yeah, that's why I was never in a, watching Jackson Arnold try to run for his life late night, uh, UNLV Memphis, and, and not be able to do it, was like, oh yeah, that's why I'm not in on Jackson Arnold. But, uh, it was good, it was good to see football on TV. Also, we had a crazy, um, front door cover, it was like in Stanford, was up all game, then Hawaii came roaring back with, uh, I think Stanford was a four-point favorite, and, uh, with a minute and a half left, they were up three, and Hawaii fumbled, and Stanford ran it back.

• 42:12Speaker 00

  The guy actually stopped and was about to go down, he's like, fuck it, I'm a defensive player, I have to, I have to go in the end zone here, so Stanford ends up covering, see that?

• 42:21Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's my chance, yeah.

• 42:22Speaker 00

  It's like, so we had the first, I guess, bad, it wasn't really a bad beat because Stanford kind of dominated the game, but you could, you could be upset if you had Hawaii in that game.

• 42:30Speaker 02

  A shout out to UVA, too, Bo Perbiola.

• 42:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 42:32Speaker 02

  Might be the, the leader that they need, they're very excited about the team in Charlottesville, which, um, they haven't been that pumped for, uh, for a new season in a very, very long time, but they look pretty good, and this was an ACC game, I double-checked it because I got fooled on that.

• 42:46Speaker 00

  It wasn't the.

• 42:46Speaker 02

  Last year where it was these, I believe it was these.

• 42:48Speaker 00

  Officially, yeah.

• 42:49Speaker 02

  Two teams playing, and it was not technically a conference game.

• 42:52Speaker 00

  Correct.

• 42:53Speaker 02

  This is a conference game, and, and UVA looked really, really good.

• 42:56Speaker 00

  And I think they said that, uh, did I see that there was a report that week zero is just gonna be week one next year, like they're moving everything up?

• 43:02Speaker 05

  This was the last week zero ever.

• 43:04Speaker 00

  Ever, yeah.

• 43:04Speaker 02

  Damn, what was your favorite week zero moment?

• 43:07Speaker 00

  Um.

• 43:07Speaker 02

  I think mine might have been the Ireland game last year.

• 43:10Speaker 00

  Was that Northwestern, Nebraska?

• 43:12Speaker 02

  Uh, can't, was that Kansas State?

• 43:14Speaker 00

  Yeah, Kansas State.

• 43:15Speaker 02

  Where his dad got beat up.

• 43:17Speaker 00

  I should know week zero is my, is my prime, like, oh, I just lost money because I, I didn't even know that that guy was playing.

• 43:23Speaker 02

  Right.

• 43:24Speaker 00

  Situation.

• 43:25Speaker 02

  This is, honestly, like, this is probably the best week zero ever for Hank, international game, Belichick wins.

• 43:31Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 43:31Speaker 02

  Doesn't get any better than that.

• 43:32Speaker 03

  No.

• 43:33Speaker 00

  Also, shout out North Dakota State, they're now, uh, in Division One, in that crowd. That crowd was fucking awesome.

• 43:41Speaker 03

  PFT?

• 43:42Speaker 00

  That, that crowd.

• 43:43Speaker 02

  Good, good football state.

• 43:45Speaker 00

  They're in the Mountain West.

• 43:48Speaker 00

  What were you gonna say?

• 43:48Speaker 03

  No, just PFT, there's no respect for North Dakotans.

• 43:51Speaker 02

  I, I didn't realize we had so many North Dakota listeners until Friday morning.

• 43:56Speaker 00

  Yeah, I was pretty happy that I didn't have to participate in that Mount Rushmore.

• 43:59Speaker 02

  And it was.

• 43:59Speaker 00

  A little slandered in Alaska and kept it moving.

• 44:01Speaker 02

  A lot of people voiced their displeasure, did not, you know, and if you're in North Dakota, you don't wake up in the morning, pop on Part of My Take and expect to hear me say bad things about your state.

• 44:11Speaker 00

  So we just said good things. Their crowd was awesome. That was, they had a way better football environment than USC.

• 44:17Speaker 02

  Yes, great football state. You have a, a long storied history of amazing fullbacks at North Dakota State.

• 44:24Speaker 00

  And quarterbacks getting drafted.

• 44:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 44:27Speaker 00

  Uh, Zach, how was your, how was your Friday? Did you just get slandered left and right about the California?

• 44:32Speaker 04

  Yeah, a lot of, a lot of unbeknownst politics I didn't see coming. Yeah.

• 44:35Speaker 00

  Oh, you got into that?

• 44:36Speaker 04

  Yeah, I, I tried to stay away from it, but guys are passionate about states, I guess.

• 44:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 44:41Speaker 04

  I love the entire United States, you know, but if we gotta get divisive, there's no fun in that.

• 44:45Speaker 00

  Right.

• 44:45Speaker 04

  Let's not get divisive.

• 44:47Speaker 00

  What was your other pick that was?

• 44:48Speaker 03

  Utah.

• 44:49Speaker 04

  Utah, they got some stuff going on.

• 44:50Speaker 00

  Did you have any Utah people chime in?

• 44:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, those, those not as aggressive. The guys from California were standing up, ten toes.

• 44:56Speaker 00

  Yeah, you don't want to fuck with NorCal bros.

• 44:59Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 44:59Speaker 00

  They'll fuck you up.

• 45:00Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 45:00Speaker 03

  Or the Bloods or the Crips.

• 45:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 45:02Speaker 04

  I don't want any of those issues around the board.

• 45:05Speaker 02

  I was just surprised. I didn't know that anyone in North Dakota had internet. So I was, I was surprised that they were able to tweet at me.

• 45:10Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm. Hank, how are you with Ohio?

• 45:12Speaker 03

  Ohio people, I got, I got a lot of death threats.

• 45:14Speaker 00

  They're the most passionate.

• 45:15Speaker 03

  I've, I've, I've been here before. I'll be here again, I'm sure. But yeah, between that and the, uh, the O'Connellax or whatever, I don't know, I don't know what the nickname for Jerry's fans would be.

• 45:27Speaker 00

  Uh, no, those are just AWLs on Reddit.

• 45:29Speaker 02

  Those are the, uh.

• 45:29Speaker 03

  But they were, they were, it was, it was not, uh, people were, people were mean to me this weekend and that's all right.

• 45:34Speaker 02

  Jerry's kids.

• 45:35Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 45:35Speaker 03

  I, I regret nothing. Everything I said, I, I meant.

• 45:39Speaker 00

  Yeah, there we go.

• 45:39Speaker 03

  And then some.

• 45:40Speaker 00

  Have it. Uh, did you guys see, by the way, speaking of Ohio, did you see, you see Ted Cruz did, did a classic politician trying to get into sports move?

• 45:49Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 45:50Speaker 00

  Where he, I don't know who he was dunking on, some guy running for something in Michigan, but the guy said, it's about to be football season. I can't wait to beat Ohio. And Ted Cruz says, what does it say that this clown who wants to represent Michigan has never heard of Ohio State?

• 46:04Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 46:04Speaker 00

  Brutal.

• 46:05Speaker 02

  Yeah, so.

• 46:06Speaker 00

  Everyone at Michigan calls Ohio State Ohio and everyone at Ohio State calls them the team up north.

• 46:12Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 46:12Speaker 00

  That was a tough one. You can't get, you can't get mixed into rivalries.

• 46:15Speaker 02

  I don't think it's as good as when he said, uh, what do you call it? The basketball ring?

• 46:19Speaker 00

  Basketball ring.

• 46:19Speaker 02

  For the hoop?

• 46:20Speaker 00

  I just love when politicians try to, try to talk our language.

• 46:23Speaker 02

  I remember when he got caught jerking off on nine 11?

• 46:25Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 46:26Speaker 02

  That was a pretty good.

• 46:26Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 46:27Speaker 02

  Ted Cruz.

• 46:28Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah. Not the nine 11.

• 46:30Speaker 02

  Well, it was a nine 11.

• 46:31Speaker 00

  A nine 11. Yes, I, I was confused for a second. I was like, oh shit.

• 46:35Speaker 02

  It was, it was his own personal nine 11.

• 46:36Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That one was, that.

• 46:39Speaker 02

  What'd you, what'd you just look up there, uh, Zach?

• 46:42Speaker 04

  Ted Cruz nine 11?

• 46:43Speaker 00

  But he spelled Ted Cruz wrong, which is tough to do.

• 46:47Speaker 02

  Like Tom Cruise?

• 46:48Speaker 00

  No, he, he actually did a hybrid, Ted Cruz and Tom Cruise. He, he kept the I in there.

• 46:53Speaker 04

  But we're back.

• 46:53Speaker 00

  The Z. Yeah. Uh, can I talk real quick just about how awesome PCA is? Just, I know I've said it many times, but he had, the Saturday that was, I don't want to say that the MVP race is over, but it was pretty fucking awesome because it was the Cubs 150th anniversary. Like they had all these guys back. They brought all, like they named 150, uh, like the, the Cubs team, like guys from all eras. So like Greg Maddox was there, all these guys, Rizzo, like all these guys from all these different eras. Sammy Sosa was back. And Pete Crow Armstrong hit three home runs and was, uh, the absolute best. And I just, he's awesome. He should win MVP. I think Shohei has kind of fallen off a little.

• 47:38Speaker 02

  I think he will win MVP, right?

• 47:39Speaker 00

  Uh, yeah, I mean, he's, the odds have, have gone severely in his favor. He's just, he's gonna, he's gonna flirt with a 10 war season, which is like so hard to do. And there was, I saw some stat that was, it was funny because it was a, uh, very, it was a stupid stat in the fact that it was very select parameters, but the names that spit out were like, holy shit, that's cool. So players in MLB history to have 12 plus home runs, six plus stolen bases and 16 plus walks in a single calendar month. Pete Crow Armstrong, Willie Mays, Babe Ruth.

• 48:18Speaker 02

  Babe Ruth had it like that on the base pass?

• 48:20Speaker 00

  Apparently I was reading about it. Babe Ruth would just, he would just go for it. It was a lot of hit and runs, but he would just go for it.

• 48:27Speaker 02

  I can't imagine, yeah, probably the, the catcher's arm's not great back then.

• 48:31Speaker 00

  And young Babe Ruth, I think was pretty athletic.

• 48:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 48:33Speaker 00

  He was a pitcher, but, uh, anytime you're Willie Mays and Babe Ruth.

• 48:38Speaker 04

  He just hit another.

• 48:40Speaker 00

  Who?

• 48:40Speaker 04

  PCA.

• 48:41Speaker 00

  Just now? Why are you ahead?

• 48:43Speaker 04

  I just got a notification on my phone.

• 48:44Speaker 00

  Well, we're down. We're losing this game. Still can't really tweet about that.

• 48:47Speaker 04

  Bomb.

• 48:48Speaker 00

  That was a bomb.

• 48:49Speaker 02

  Is that too tight?

• 48:51Speaker 00

  Why'd you spoil that, dude? We were having a natural conversation about PCA. How cool would it have been if it was like, oh, and he just hit one? While we have the game on. How would I know? The game's on right here.

• 49:02Speaker 04

  I don't have a TV in my vision. I just, I get the home run notifications.

• 49:08Speaker 00

  He does everything for this team. The, the pigeon Shota needs to get out of my life.

• 49:15Speaker 00

  That was all my PCA talk. He's just awesome to watch. He's a fucking man. And he, and he, and he drops that. I mean, just do it in front of, he said, he said that after the game, he said Sammy Sosa said, I would hit three today and then I hit three, which is pretty damn cool. So, um, and then John Lester went into the Hall of Fame tonight, the Cubs Hall of Fame, Big John. All right, that was all. Do you guys have any other baseball stuff? Oh, you guys, did you see that play today?

• 49:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, I did. I mean. It was a bullshit call, but we lost 12 to one. So I don't know how much, how much it mattered.

• 49:48Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 49:49Speaker 03

  It was a catch that was a catch that they ruled

• 49:54Speaker 03

  not a catch. Joe Torre is like the head rules official.

• 49:58Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 49:59Speaker 03

  It was Red Sox Yankees. That, that seems like there's a conflict of interest.

• 50:05Speaker 02

  You think that, that Joe Torre saw it and was like, that clearly hit the ground?

• 50:09Speaker 00

  I watched the replay because it was, uh,

• 50:11Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 50:12Speaker 00

  Dave was like ranting about it. And so I saw the replay. It is one of those replays that if you look at it long enough, you're like, I think it might've touched the ground, but you don't even know.

• 50:21Speaker 02

  I think if you're, yeah, if you're a Yankees fan, you say it hit the ground.

• 50:26Speaker 00

  It was a big.

• 50:27Speaker 02

  If you're a Red Sox fan, you say it didn't.

• 50:28Speaker 00

  It was a big time, uh, watched the replay twice. That's a catch. Watch the replay 10 times. That definitely hit the ground. Watch the replay 15 times. It's back to a catch.

• 50:37Speaker 02

  I think if.

• 50:38Speaker 03

  Which means the initial, it should be a catch.

• 50:39Speaker 02

  If you have to watch something 10 times.

• 50:42Speaker 00

  Yeah, I agree.

• 50:42Speaker 02

  To figure out, it's, it should be a catch.

• 50:44Speaker 00

  Yeah, that looks like a catch to me right there. But if you give me like four more watches, I'd be like, yeah, no, that definitely.

• 50:48Speaker 03

  But how is it not a catch? That's, that like.

• 50:51Speaker 02

  I guess they're saying when the, when the glove turns over.

• 50:53Speaker 00

  Yeah, right there.

• 50:54Speaker 02

  Does the ball hit the ground? Which I understand, but you can't see it. Can't see it.

• 50:59Speaker 00

  Can't see it.

• 51:00Speaker 02

  Can't see it, Hank.

• 51:02Speaker 00

  Can't see the ball.

• 51:03Speaker 02

  So what do you think the score would have been if they got that call right?

• 51:05Speaker 03

  Well, you never know. That's, it's butterfly effect.

• 51:08Speaker 00

  That's true. It is a true butterfly effect.

• 51:10Speaker 02

  You can never tell.

• 51:11Speaker 00

  Can never, ever tell. Um, okay. Do we have any other, any other sports stories that are going on? We're gonna do our big college football preview on Wednesday with Brandon and Tom. Um, excited for that. Week one coming up. We finally made it, real football. But anything else before we do who's back? I think that's, that's about it.

• 53:13Speaker 03

  Uh, my who's back of the week are flyovers.

• 53:15Speaker 00

  Ah, you took mine.

• 53:18Speaker 03

  I'm the plane guy on this podcast.

• 53:21Speaker 02

  What kind of planes were they?

• 53:22Speaker 03

  They were B12s.

• 53:24Speaker 02

  That's not true.

• 53:25Speaker 03

  They were B somethings.

• 53:26Speaker 02

  You're just naming vitamins.

• 53:27Speaker 00

  Yeah, isn't that a shot?

• 53:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 53:29Speaker 03

  They were F14s.

• 53:30Speaker 02

  They were not. That's a top cat.

• 53:31Speaker 03

  Uh.

• 53:32Speaker 00

  They were vitamin C's.

• 53:32Speaker 03

  They were T9.

• 53:33Speaker 02

  You have yet to name a. Yet to name a passenger plane. My who's back of the week is flyovers.

• 53:40Speaker 00

  Uh Hank, what happened with the flyover?

• 53:42Speaker 03

  It was at a, my favorite sport is at a rugby match.

• 53:46Speaker 02

  He's got some real piece of shit.

• 53:47Speaker 03

  In South Africa?

• 53:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 53:50Speaker 03

  In South Africa?

• 53:50Speaker 00

  You don't even have the detail.

• 53:51Speaker 03

  In South Africa.

• 53:53Speaker 02

  Listen, he's now one for seven on details.

• 53:55Speaker 03

  The two, two Fs, uh, two Ps, I mean. They did a flyover before the game and, and basically skimmed the roof. Like, I thought it was AI. That's where, that's where around society where I was like, this is just one of these AI videos. Now can I get fooled? Turned out it was true. Is this gonna be a trend though? Should, should, should this become a trend?

• 54:17Speaker 02

  Uh, well.

• 54:18Speaker 03

  Flyover challenge?

• 54:19Speaker 02

  First of all, it kinda is a trend in South Africa. So I, I looked into it when I saw the flyover.

• 54:24Speaker 03

  Same.

• 54:24Speaker 02

  It is, it's very, yeah, I did a lot of research on it. Uh, the flyover is super low. It's, it's scary low. So they, um, through the like publicly available flight data, you can see that the plane.

• 54:36Speaker 03

  That looks fake.

• 54:37Speaker 02

  At its lowest was about 40 feet from the top of the stadium, which is crazy low to the point where like a bad gust of wind or sometimes you get a ground effect.

• 54:48Speaker 00

  Turbulence?

• 54:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's, it's, you know, being that close to the ground can fuck with, uh, the controls a little bit of a plane. If you get like the backdrop of, of air getting blown off the ground. Um, so to think that you'd have like a 40 foot dip at some point, it's not impossible. And if that had happened, then you're probably looking at like thousands of dead people. So it's, it's so low, but I looked into it and apparently it's a thing in South Africa. It's a very big cultural deal. And they've got a long history of flying jumbo jets over rugby games where they, they've done this once every like 10 years. Where they fly abnormally low passes. Now that, this was way closer than any of the other ones that I saw. All the other ones were about like a hundred feet above,

• 55:30Speaker 02

  150, which if you're in that stadium, it feels like you can reach out and touch it. Like that's very, very close. This was actually just so close that it could have been really, really bad. But, uh, South Africans, they, they take their flyovers very seriously. So from what I've seen online, their mentality is like, nobody got hurt, did they? Okay, good. Well, it kicked ass, didn't it? Okay.

• 55:51Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 55:52Speaker 02

  Hey, did we beat New Zealand?

• 55:53Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 55:53Speaker 02

  We did? Okay, then fuck you. We're gonna keep doing our flyovers.

• 55:56Speaker 03

  It's a big win for them.

• 55:57Speaker 02

  Massive win for them.

• 55:58Speaker 03

  Big upset.

• 55:59Speaker 02

  Big upset for flyovers.

• 56:00Speaker 00

  Huge, huge. Our good who's back Hank.

• 56:03Speaker 02

  Really good who's back.

• 56:03Speaker 00

  Really had no details.

• 56:05Speaker 03

  I had them all.

• 56:06Speaker 00

  Or anything.

• 56:06Speaker 02

  I think the craziest part of that was the second jet that gets just hit in the face with like the pyrotechnics as it flies through.

• 56:12Speaker 03

  Wait, what type of plane was it?

• 56:13Speaker 02

  Uh, I believe it was an Embraer 190.

• 56:16Speaker 00

  PFT, do you want to, do you want a who's back to fight back at him?

• 56:20Speaker 02

  Uh, who's back? A live?

• 56:22Speaker 00

  No, no, I got one for you. I'm texting right now. You just Google it and then, uh,

• 56:28Speaker 00

  it was, it was very funny and I, I can't believe Hank missed it. Sad Hank. Sad. Really sad.

• 56:37Speaker 00

  Really, really sad. I texted it to PFT.

• 56:40Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah. Who's back of the week saying bye to your friends?

• 56:45Speaker 02

  Jaylen Brown had a going away party.

• 56:47Speaker 03

  He got a key to the city.

• 56:48Speaker 00

  He had a public going away party.

• 56:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 56:50Speaker 03

  Well, they gave him a key to the city.

• 56:51Speaker 00

  Didn't look like a lot of people went.

• 56:54Speaker 03

  I mean, it's summer. It's a tough time of year. People got, people got plans. Uh.

• 56:57Speaker 02

  Locky was playing.

• 56:58Speaker 00

  I didn't know he got a key to the city. That actually is pretty cool.

• 57:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, he got a key to the city. He deserves it.

• 57:02Speaker 00

  So did you think about maybe going?

• 57:05Speaker 03

  No, we had a, we had a work trip.

• 57:07Speaker 02

  Who was there?

• 57:09Speaker 03

  A lot of people from Boston.

• 57:10Speaker 00

  Jaylen Brown, was Jason Tatum there?

• 57:12Speaker 03

  I don't think Jason Tatum summers in, uh.

• 57:14Speaker 02

  So he didn't go to his best friend's going away party?

• 57:17Speaker 00

  Oh, he got his key to the state.

• 57:19Speaker 03

  Key to the state?

• 57:20Speaker 00

  That's different than a key to the city.

• 57:21Speaker 03

  Even better.

• 57:22Speaker 02

  Well, he probably doesn't have a key to the city.

• 57:24Speaker 00

  I.

• 57:25Speaker 03

  Well, I think if you got a key to the state, you have a key to the city. You have the key to the whole state.

• 57:28Speaker 00

  There's no doubt.

• 57:28Speaker 03

  You got a key to all the cities.

• 57:29Speaker 00

  I'm sure Jaylen Brown has done like awesome community work and stuff, but is this not a little weird and awkward?

• 57:34Speaker 03

  No.

• 57:35Speaker 00

  Two months after?

• 57:36Speaker 02

  You gotta think about, he, he, he's been part of the community for his entire career.

• 57:40Speaker 00

  Yeah, I know, but it's a.

• 57:41Speaker 03

  It's bigger than basketball, Dan.

• 57:43Speaker 00

  Okay. Hank, Henry.

• 57:47Speaker 02

  So wait.

• 57:48Speaker 03

  All the, all the, well, all the people he's helped.

• 57:51Speaker 02

  So.

• 57:52Speaker 00

  All right.

• 57:52Speaker 02

  I, I don't see his teammates there though. That's what's kinda weird.

• 57:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, I know. LeBron should have been there. I agree.

• 57:57Speaker 00

  I think it's more like if.

• 58:00Speaker 00

  Yeah, I, I, I think I'd just be like, yeah, you know what? It's already happened. Like play the, play the video when I come back.

• 58:06Speaker 02

  There were performances from Lil Jon, Lil Baby.

• 58:09Speaker 00

  Okay, this is a real thing.

• 58:11Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 58:12Speaker 00

  Damn.

• 58:13Speaker 02

  They had the Larry O'Brien trophy there.

• 58:15Speaker 00

  Hey, a party's a party. It actually looks like there was a decent amount of people there.

• 58:19Speaker 02

  Yeah. He was signing autographs on Celtics jerseys and Sixers jerseys while he was there.

• 58:24Speaker 03

  That's respect.

• 58:25Speaker 00

  That is respect.

• 58:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, good for him.

• 58:28Speaker 03

  No love lost.

• 58:29Speaker 02

  Good for him.

• 58:29Speaker 03

  No.

• 58:31Speaker 02

  Yeah, uh, yeah.

• 58:32Speaker 03

  No love.

• 58:33Speaker 00

  So you weren't gonna bring that up?

• 58:36Speaker 03

  No.

• 58:37Speaker 02

  It is, I think the saying no love lost actually makes more sense in a situation like this. But I think people use it sarcastically.

• 58:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 58:45Speaker 00

  It's actually, it looks like a pretty, like decently attended goodbye, which I, I don't remember this happening.

• 58:52Speaker 03

  Sports them.

• 58:52Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:53Speaker 02

  What was the, uh, welcome party like for playoff P?

• 58:56Speaker 00

  Oh, that's a good question. What if that was happening at the same time?

• 59:00Speaker 03

  I don't think it was. I don't think he's like had an official.

• 59:02Speaker 00

  But what if?

• 59:04Speaker 03

  It didn't.

• 59:05Speaker 00

  But what if?

• 59:07Speaker 03

  I think more people would go to Jaylen Brown. It's, it's not what it's, it's.

• 59:10Speaker 02

  I like to look forward.

• 59:12Speaker 03

  No, you gotta appreciate, if you, if you win a championship in the city.

• 59:15Speaker 02

  What have you done for me lately?

• 59:16Speaker 03

  You're a legend forever.

• 59:17Speaker 02

  That's what I say.

• 59:19Speaker 00

  Okay, uh, I got a couple who's backs. Uh, the first one is breaking news. Uh,

• 59:26Speaker 00

  do you guys wanna break some news? I remember, I know a couple of weeks ago I was like, I'm never gonna break news. I don't wanna break news after that Ben Devine thing happened where he got catfished. I was like, I'm not in the breaking news business. Uh, two weeks later, I, I, I'd like to be. You guys, you gonna break some news on this podcast?

• 59:45Speaker 02

  Yeah, go for it.

• 59:46Speaker 00

  Okay, here we go. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park recently welcomed Matu Manini, a 33-year-old western lowland gorilla from Cedric County Zoo in Kansas. This is a free acquisition. It is a, a free agency acquisition. And the San Diego Zoo actually reached out to us. It was like, hey, do you guys wanna break this on the podcast?

• 1:00:07Speaker 02

  Let's go. Okay.

• 1:00:08Speaker 00

  So they picked up a new gorilla, a, uh, uh, it wasn't a trade. It was just a, maybe a waiver wire. Matu, Matu Ma Ini. His arrival was part of the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species and Survival Plan for his species. He's going to be, he's an experienced, experienced silverback who's gonna join the Safari Park's Gorilla Forest Family Troop following the unexpected illness and loss of silverback Paul in May 2026. R I P Paul.

• 1:00:41Speaker 02

  R I P Paul.

• 1:00:42Speaker 00

  I didn't know Paul passed.

• 1:00:42Speaker 02

  So it sounds like, um, you know, you hear this a lot this time of year. A lot of, a lot of coaches will, um, cut a vet early. Give them a chance to get picked up by somebody else.

• 1:00:51Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 1:00:52Speaker 02

  It sounds like that's probably, probably what's happening here.

• 1:00:55Speaker 00

  Yeah. So he's gonna go, uh, he's got, he's got.

• 1:00:59Speaker 02

  Win now mode.

• 1:01:00Speaker 00

  Five chicks he's hanging out with now. But Mani, Jessica, Camila, Leslie and Joanne.

• 1:01:06Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:01:06Speaker 00

  I love these names.

• 1:01:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:01:08Speaker 00

  It's like we, sometimes we go with like, uh, hey, that's clearly a gorilla. And then sometimes you say, hey, this gorilla's named Joanne.

• 1:01:14Speaker 02

  All right. So good luck to, uh, Matu Mani.

• 1:01:16Speaker 00

  Yeah. And I learned also, uh, they, they, they sent me some facts, but, uh, apparently at the San Diego Zoo, which I think is one of the best zoos, I think it is the best zoo in the country. Uh, they just have a, they just have a standing bachelor party gorilla troop. It's just dudes hanging out. Like they have it totally separate from everyone else.

• 1:01:34Speaker 02

  That's, uh.

• 1:01:35Speaker 00

  And it's just dudes, yeah.

• 1:01:36Speaker 02

  Lincoln Park Zoo has that. Yeah. Just the, just the thunder broom.

• 1:01:40Speaker 00

  It's fucking awesome.

• 1:01:41Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:01:41Speaker 00

  Imagine just getting linked up with that.

• 1:01:44Speaker 02

  Just hanging out with the boys all day.

• 1:01:45Speaker 00

  Just hanging out with the boys, waiting for like someday they're gonna call your number. You're gonna have to go and, and hang with some chicks.

• 1:01:51Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:01:51Speaker 00

  Yeah. But Matu, Matu Ma Ini, 33-year-old western lowland gorilla. Please credit, pardon my take.

• 1:02:00Speaker 03

  Should we put it out before the podcast?

• 1:02:01Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:02:02Speaker 00

  Yeah, we could.

• 1:02:02Speaker 02

  He, he was.

• 1:02:03Speaker 00

  Oh, he was born in the Lincoln Park Zoo.

• 1:02:05Speaker 02

  Massive transaction.

• 1:02:06Speaker 00

  Wow. Okay. So he went Lincoln Park Zoo to Oklahoma City Zoo as a baby. And then Cedric County Zoo. And yeah, it hasn't even updated that he's in San Diego. We should just make a graphic. We should tweet it right in the morning. I think, I don't, I think we could probably sit on this overnight.

• 1:02:22Speaker 02

  You don't think that whoever the Adam Schefter of Zuz is is gonna?

• 1:02:26Speaker 00

  We could, we get scooped, but guess what? We're in it for the love of the game. We're not in it to, you know, I think we're, we're, we're playing a game that.

• 1:02:32Speaker 02

  You're never gonna see us dropping any agents names.

• 1:02:35Speaker 00

  We're, yeah.

• 1:02:36Speaker 02

  In the post that we have about the gorillas.

• 1:02:37Speaker 00

  And we're not in this game to, to, to be, uh, first, we're in this game to be correct. This is straight from the source, straight from the source. Okay. So that was my first who's back. Also, who's back of the week? Uh, racist being fucked because, uh, we're getting end racism back in the.

• 1:02:56Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:02:57Speaker 00

  Back in the end zone.

• 1:02:58Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:02:58Speaker 00

  So that's, see a racist.

• 1:03:00Speaker 02

  We thought, we thought we did it. We took it out of the back of the end zone and, uh, then racism came storming back.

• 1:03:06Speaker 00

  Hate as well.

• 1:03:07Speaker 02

  Racism and hate.

• 1:03:08Speaker 00

  Hate.

• 1:03:09Speaker 02

  Had a, had a good run from like 1492 to 2023. Uh, and then we, we kinda ended it. And then what do you know? Racism kinda popped up again, 2004, 2005. So now you just, you gotta stamp it out again. And what better way, uh, than painting the back of a football stadium in Australia?

• 1:03:29Speaker 00

  Yeah. So we got it.

• 1:03:31Speaker 02

  Do they have to do that there? Do they have to do the, the messages?

• 1:03:35Speaker 00

  I think they have to.

• 1:03:36Speaker 02

  It takes all of us.

• 1:03:36Speaker 03

  Aye.

• 1:03:37Speaker 02

  Aye. In, in racist, I, I noticed you being a T B racist. It's not very nice. Too many racist cunts.

• 1:03:46Speaker 03

  Um.

• 1:03:47Speaker 02

  I'm from Rotasia.

• 1:03:48Speaker 00

  Also, who's back of the week?

• 1:03:50Speaker 02

  That's, it's a pretty racist place. Yeah.

• 1:03:53Speaker 00

  Who's back of the week? Uh, golf Hank, because did you see that there's a, uh, there's a golf course in, I think LA, it's gonna have a clubhouse Chili's?

• 1:04:03Speaker 03

  I did see that. I saw.

• 1:04:04Speaker 00

  That's how, that's how you get me into golf.

• 1:04:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:04:06Speaker 00

  That's how you get me into golf.

• 1:04:08Speaker 03

  It was like Caleb, there's a Caleb Roback combination. I'm in.

• 1:04:12Speaker 00

  In.

• 1:04:12Speaker 03

  Chili's.

• 1:04:12Speaker 00

  Chili's. Uh, oh, I can go, I could play nine holes.

• 1:04:16Speaker 03

  And Jenna Sims.

• 1:04:16Speaker 00

  And my, my, uh, the halfway house is just, is just Chili's.

• 1:04:21Speaker 03

  Onion?

• 1:04:22Speaker 00

  I'm in.

• 1:04:22Speaker 03

  A blooming at?

• 1:04:23Speaker 00

  Oh, wow.

• 1:04:25Speaker 03

  Oh, wow.

• 1:04:26Speaker 00

  No, we're in. That was bad.

• 1:04:31Speaker 02

  My Australian accent was so good. Hank thought that he was at FX Steakhouse.

• 1:04:35Speaker 03

  Yeah. Hand up.

• 1:04:36Speaker 00

  That's gonna be embarrassing.

• 1:04:38Speaker 02

  Awesome blossom, Hank.

• 1:04:39Speaker 00

  We gotta get out ahead of that one.

• 1:04:41Speaker 03

  I would love to know what Zach's, I was trying to set up Zach for what his order at the turn would be with the Chili's.

• 1:04:48Speaker 04

  Oh, that's easy. You just go triple dipper, chips, chips and queso, and then a little dessert. So maybe lava cake.

• 1:04:54Speaker 00

  I had a, I had a damn I'm fat moment, which I have all the time, but some, um, Stoolie tweeted me, it was like five different screenshots of people asking me my Chili's order over like the last decade and it never wavering. And it's like never changing. And I was like, shit. Okay.

• 1:05:12Speaker 03

  You guys wanna lock in for a little bit?

• 1:05:15Speaker 02

  I'm locked.

• 1:05:17Speaker 00

  Yeah. What, what do you wanna lock in?

• 1:05:18Speaker 02

  I'm dialed.

• 1:05:18Speaker 03

  I need to get locked.

• 1:05:19Speaker 00

  Oh, yes. No, I am officially locked.

• 1:05:22Speaker 03

  I've been fat for like three or four weeks.

• 1:05:24Speaker 00

  As soon as, as soon as, uh, I conquer the hundred cheeseburgers, we're getting locked. Like locked. What memes?

• 1:05:33Speaker 04

  No shot.

• 1:05:35Speaker 00

  Why do you gotta be negative?

• 1:05:36Speaker 04

  Cause football started.

• 1:05:37Speaker 00

  I understand.

• 1:05:38Speaker 04

  Going 15 burgers into football.

• 1:05:40Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:05:41Speaker 02

  Mames, I'm going to, I'm gonna get so locked during football season this year. The schedule is about to flip on a sad. I'm gonna, I'm turning the last 15 years of my life upside down. This is going to be the season I'm gonna get ripped. We're gonna have a six pack by spring break. It starts now.

• 1:05:59Speaker 04

  Bet. I believe you.

• 1:06:00Speaker 02

  Bet.

• 1:06:01Speaker 03

  What about me?

• 1:06:02Speaker 04

  I believe Hank.

• 1:06:03Speaker 03

  Nice.

• 1:06:04Speaker 04

  15 burgers and into football. You just get, you're just gonna have rollover minutes.

• 1:06:08Speaker 02

  We can all do this together.

• 1:06:10Speaker 00

  I'm gonna start walking before NFL Sundays.

• 1:06:13Speaker 03

  What, what are your odds on 15 this week?

• 1:06:16Speaker 00

  Oh, I got it. I set myself up nice. Now, did I have to do what? I mean.

• 1:06:21Speaker 03

  You only have to eat 15 burgers.

• 1:06:23Speaker 00

  Listen, was it a disgusting move that I landed from Saratoga on Saturday night and had to go to Red Hot Ranch and pound two burgers at 9:00 PM? Yes, that was a disgusting move, but I had to do it because I hadn't had a burger that day. Uh, I'm gonna get, I'm gonna, I'm, you're gonna see some four burger days coming up. So that I can, I can, I can sprint through the finish line. Like I wanna, I wanna Sunday and Labor Day. I wanna, I wanna be like, hey, maybe I'll have a burger. Started this week. It's, we're gonna, we're gonna hit, we're gonna hit some numbers. Big time. I actually, can I tell you another fat move?

• 1:06:58Speaker 00

  Tonight I grilled and, uh, I made, I made two burgers for myself. I made burgers for my family and, uh, I made an extra burger that I'm contemplating eating for breakfast. I made an extra one just as a.

• 1:07:11Speaker 03

  Yeah. Put an egg on it.

• 1:07:12Speaker 00

  Stow away.

• 1:07:13Speaker 02

  Yeah. Breakfast burger is nothing wrong with that.

• 1:07:14Speaker 00

  So I might be doing that tomorrow morning.

• 1:07:16Speaker 02

  There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

• 1:07:17Speaker 00

  I haven't taken a picture of it yet cause I didn't wanna, you know, cheat the system. But if I, if you see a burger hit the timeline at seven in the morning tomorrow, it's because I, I left myself a little something.

• 1:07:28Speaker 03

  That's foul.

• 1:07:29Speaker 00

  That's not foul. You're foul.

• 1:07:31Speaker 02

  Actually burgers for breakfast are probably pretty healthy, Hank.

• 1:07:33Speaker 04

  It's good protein.

• 1:07:34Speaker 02

  It's the most important meal of the day.

• 1:07:35Speaker 00

  You got, you got fat from being fat. I got fat because I have goals.

• 1:07:40Speaker 03

  True, true.

• 1:07:41Speaker 00

  Right. I went out and accomplished something this summer.

• 1:07:43Speaker 03

  Whoa.

• 1:07:45Speaker 00

  I'm, unless I get like seriously ill in the next like 48 hours, I'm accomplishing this.

• 1:07:50Speaker 02

  We don't, we don't pop the champagne early on this pod.

• 1:07:52Speaker 00

  That's true. That's true. Okay. Zach finishes off.

• 1:07:55Speaker 03

  You thinking like 15 burgers is like, no, is cake is, is, I think you're underestimating.

• 1:08:00Speaker 02

  It actually is cake.

• 1:08:01Speaker 00

  I did it.

• 1:08:01Speaker 02

  For, for eight days?

• 1:08:02Speaker 00

  I did it. I did, I did a 14 burger week, uh, two weeks ago.

• 1:08:07Speaker 02

  Not hard.

• 1:08:08Speaker 00

  In seven days.

• 1:08:10Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:08:10Speaker 00

  You just gotta, I just gotta do like a four burger day.

• 1:08:12Speaker 02

  Hey, the thing is Hank's not much of an eater.

• 1:08:14Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:08:16Speaker 00

  No, you're not.

• 1:08:16Speaker 02

  I don't think you could eat 15 burgers in a month.

• 1:08:19Speaker 00

  Eating two burgers is no problem.

• 1:08:21Speaker 03

  I could never eat two burgers in, in one.

• 1:08:23Speaker 00

  I had it for dinner. It was no problem.

• 1:08:25Speaker 02

  You've never done double burger?

• 1:08:26Speaker 03

  I've done In-N-Out. Like there's been times I've, I'll get so excited because I don't have In-N-Out and I get two burgers and I can never finish.

• 1:08:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:08:33Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's pretty.

• 1:08:34Speaker 03

  I wouldn't even pretend to try and eat two burgers.

• 1:08:36Speaker 02

  That's honestly pathetic, Hank, that you can't eat two burgers.

• 1:08:39Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:08:40Speaker 02

  Every man should be able to eat two burgers.

• 1:08:42Speaker 03

  I probably could if I needed to, but like not for fun.

• 1:08:46Speaker 02

  I know. We're gonna get in such good shape this NFL season. I'm telling you.

• 1:08:50Speaker 03

  I'm ready.

• 1:08:51Speaker 02

  I'm, I'm, I'm gonna get strong.

• 1:08:52Speaker 00

  So ready.

• 1:08:53Speaker 02

  I'm gonna get fast, lean. Yeah. You'll see, you'll see memes. I'll show you.

• 1:09:02Speaker 00

  All right, Zach.

• 1:09:03Speaker 04

  Uh, my first choose back of the week this week is gonna be the UFC, cause we did have another almost uncomfortable knockout over the weekend at UFC Shanghai.

• 1:09:10Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:09:10Speaker 04

  Did you guys see this?

• 1:09:11Speaker 00

  No, give it to us. You're a UFC guy.

• 1:09:13Speaker 04

  We're talking about guys getting absolutely starched.

• 1:09:14Speaker 00

  You're our UFC guy. Hank is our playing guy.

• 1:09:19Speaker 04

  Just two guys facing it off and then he finds the button here.

• 1:09:22Speaker 00

  It's really kinda fucked up that you stole that from PFT.

• 1:09:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, the, the plane.

• 1:09:26Speaker 00

  I saw the story and I was like, oh, my good friend PFT.

• 1:09:29Speaker 02

  I didn't tweet about it cause I wanted to, I wanted to learn about it and then, and then talk it over with my friends.

• 1:09:33Speaker 03

  Same. I thought I was like laying you up.

• 1:09:37Speaker 00

  Well, let's see the, let's see the knockout again.

• 1:09:39Speaker 02

  That's a golf reference.

• 1:09:42Speaker 05

  People are also saying that one of the guys and the guy that got knocked out corner, knocked out's corner tried to spinning elbow. The guy that knocked him out.

• 1:09:49Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah. Shane, sounds like you know a lot about UFC.

• 1:09:53Speaker 00

  You wanna be the UFC guy?

• 1:09:55Speaker 05

  I can be.

• 1:09:56Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:09:56Speaker 00

  Okay. Oh, they're, yeah. Now that's, that's a concussed guy that they were trying to move his body too quickly. You know, sometimes where it's like, hey, can we just let him start breathing again? They were just, they were trying to like stand him up.

• 1:10:10Speaker 02

  Yeah. Trying to like walk him around.

• 1:10:11Speaker 00

  Yeah. Look at this, this guy right here. That's, get out of there, dude.

• 1:10:14Speaker 02

  I saw, I saw the flying elbow.

• 1:10:16Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:10:17Speaker 02

  Questionable. I'll have to watch again.

• 1:10:18Speaker 00

  I think that was more just, uh, oh no, that was flying elbow.

• 1:10:25Speaker 00

  You can't pretend that was, it's, it's when he comes back around.

• 1:10:28Speaker 02

  Yeah. Maybe, maybe he blacked out. Maybe he got hit with two eggs and then just didn't know what happened to him.

• 1:10:33Speaker 00

  Yeah. Um, okay. Uh, what other ones?

• 1:10:37Speaker 04

  Also, uh, did you guys see the UNLV walkout?

• 1:10:41Speaker 00

  Yes, with Elvis?

• 1:10:42Speaker 04

  Yeah. We gotta have more alive and dead guys getting walked out of the tunnels. It's so good. It's so much fun.

• 1:10:47Speaker 00

  Agreed. Agreed. That was very cool. Yeah.

• 1:10:52Speaker 02

  Do you think in 20 years, we're gonna have Elvis impersonators?

• 1:10:56Speaker 02

  Yes. That might be one of those things that, that dies away as.

• 1:10:59Speaker 00

  No, I think it's timeless.

• 1:11:00Speaker 02

  People that, I mean, do we know anybody our age or younger even that, that would consider themselves to be an Elvis fan?

• 1:11:07Speaker 03

  I feel like you might be.

• 1:11:08Speaker 00

  I like Elvis. I like his music.

• 1:11:10Speaker 02

  Not, not particularly fond of his music. I guess Suspicious Minds is a banger.

• 1:11:14Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:11:16Speaker 02

  But yeah, I feel like that's.

• 1:11:17Speaker 00

  Christmas?

• 1:11:18Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:11:18Speaker 03

  Ring of Fire?

• 1:11:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:11:21Speaker 02

  What?

• 1:11:23Speaker 00

  Ring of Fire is not.

• 1:11:24Speaker 02

  Not Elvis. It's social distortion.

• 1:11:27Speaker 00

  That's Johnny Cash.

• 1:11:29Speaker 02

  I know.

• 1:11:29Speaker 00

  Yeah, okay. Did you?

• 1:11:32Speaker 02

  Yeah. Um, yeah. I thought they were the same.

• 1:11:34Speaker 00

  In the ghetto, that's a great song.

• 1:11:35Speaker 02

  In the ghetto. There's a, uh, I just feel like it might be.

• 1:11:39Speaker 00

  Shut up.

• 1:11:42Speaker 02

  Uh, Dustin Baggy.

• 1:11:44Speaker 00

  I wanna fuck you like an animal?

• 1:11:46Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:11:48Speaker 02

  No, I think, I, I just think that I don't see that, uh, career opportunities for too many future Elvis impersonators.

• 1:11:54Speaker 00

  I don't know.

• 1:11:55Speaker 02

  It's a dying industry.

• 1:11:56Speaker 00

  But I also think that like, as people get old, like I could see myself getting really into Elvis when I'm like 70. And then I'll go see an Elvis impersonator. You know, that shit kinda stays timeless.

• 1:12:08Speaker 02

  Like, is there anybody from our generation that's gonna, that we're gonna have impersonators of them?

• 1:12:12Speaker 00

  There's money there. Oh, impersonators of us? No. Um, hmm.

• 1:12:18Speaker 02

  Kid Rock impersonator would go hard?

• 1:12:21Speaker 00

  Yeah. Fred Durts.

• 1:12:25Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's a good, that's a good question.

• 1:12:27Speaker 02

  Pay money to see, uh, Frank Caliendo.

• 1:12:28Speaker 00

  Well, it is, it is weird.

• 1:12:29Speaker 02

  Frank Caliendo's electric. Just a.

• 1:12:31Speaker 00

  It's crazy to think.

• 1:12:32Speaker 02

  Thousand voices.

• 1:12:33Speaker 00

  It's crazy to think about just like how famous Elvis was, cause there's just, there were like 20 famous people in the entire world.

• 1:12:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, and he was, he was number one.

• 1:12:41Speaker 00

  He was number one by far.

• 1:12:44Speaker 02

  Pedophile.

• 1:12:45Speaker 00

  What?

• 1:12:46Speaker 02

  Didn't he date, marry like a 15 year old? It's a possibility.

• 1:12:50Speaker 00

  Uh, I think she was young, on the young side. Yeah.

• 1:12:53Speaker 02

  Was that, was that, was that bad? It's like.

• 1:12:55Speaker 00

  I don't know. Let's, let's, let's, let's do a little idiot jazz. How old was she? Priscilla was, was she?

• 1:13:00Speaker 02

  Don't trust the AI overview. It'll say that he played for the Niners.

• 1:13:03Speaker 00

  Oh, when 14 year old Priscilla told 24 year old Elvis Presley, okay.

• 1:13:07Speaker 02

  All right.

• 1:13:07Speaker 00

  All right. So yeah, that ain't great. I, I'm, I'm gonna say right now, not great.

• 1:13:12Speaker 02

  Not, yeah, if you wanna.

• 1:13:14Speaker 00

  Wait, they met in Germany. When did they, cause he was in the army, right? So when did she come stateside?

• 1:13:24Speaker 00

  17. With her parents' permission, Hank.

• 1:13:28Speaker 02

  He met her when she.

• 1:13:29Speaker 00

  They got married when she was 21.

• 1:13:30Speaker 02

  He was 20, wait, wait. He was 24 and she was in ninth grade when they met.

• 1:13:35Speaker 00

  Yeah. I don't know what happened in Germany.

• 1:13:39Speaker 02

  That's, that's a German problem.

• 1:13:40Speaker 00

  17, okay.

• 1:13:44Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's not great. I'm gonna say right now, it's not great. I don't love it.

• 1:13:47Speaker 02

  Don't look up, uh, Jerry Lee Lewis.

• 1:13:51Speaker 02

  Maybe you have some skeletons there.

• 1:13:53Speaker 00

  Elvis died on the toilet. That's pretty cool.

• 1:13:55Speaker 02

  That is cool. That's, yeah.

• 1:13:56Speaker 00

  That's a man's way to die. Just like so, I mean, he, yes, he was so constipated because of the opioids, but still. Pretty cool place to die on the toilet.

• 1:14:05Speaker 02

  The, yeah, the most manly way to die is you eat two burgers and then you, you just, you try to take a shit.

• 1:14:11Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:14:11Speaker 02

  And it's.

• 1:14:12Speaker 00

  He was, uh.

• 1:14:13Speaker 02

  Eat so much, you got clogged.

• 1:14:14Speaker 00

  What was it? He was, he was peanut butter and bacon.

• 1:14:17Speaker 02

  Peanut butter, banana?

• 1:14:18Speaker 00

  I think it was peanut butter, maybe peanut butter, banana and bacon. I know there was bacon. That was Elvis's like go to sandwich.

• 1:14:25Speaker 02

  Was there pickles involved?

• 1:14:26Speaker 00

  What was it? Peanut butter, banana and bacon?

• 1:14:28Speaker 02

  Okay, there we go. That's, that's a great.

• 1:14:30Speaker 00

  That's an awesome sandwich.

• 1:14:32Speaker 02

  That's really good sandwich.

• 1:14:33Speaker 00

  You got the sweet of the peanut butter, even a little sweeter of the banana, getting a little health, then the salty of the bacon. One tablespoon of butter.

• 1:14:43Speaker 00

  Maybe this, maybe this is how we get healthy. The Elvis.

• 1:14:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, um, that's probably got some good protein in it, right?

• 1:14:50Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:14:50Speaker 02

  Whole grain bread. Nah, we're gonna get so healthy.

• 1:14:53Speaker 00

  I actually am.

• 1:14:55Speaker 02

  Yeah. Same.

• 1:14:55Speaker 00

  And I don't give a fuck what memes said.

• 1:14:57Speaker 02

  I can't decide if I'm, if I'm gonna lose weight or gain weight, but either way, it's gonna be healthy.

• 1:15:01Speaker 00

  I'm just gonna get shredded.

• 1:15:04Speaker 02

  I'm gonna bulk and then, and then cut. Yeah, that's, that's tricky because just about every time I, I've said I'm bulking, that bulk has just kinda stayed there.

• 1:15:14Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:15:15Speaker 02

  I, I. Everyone likes to bulk, but you gotta be a man to cut. True.

• 1:15:21Speaker 00

  Uh, Zach, you're still in last place in Dingers Only. We just got the updated. You are 12 behind, uh, Max.

• 1:15:31Speaker 02

  Gotta get some bats hot.

• 1:15:32Speaker 00

  Yeah. Che is now in second, so it will be just you guys flip flopping. You gotta get some bad, what was the bet we made?

• 1:15:44Speaker 02

  It was that, uh.

• 1:15:45Speaker 00

  If you.

• 1:15:47Speaker 02

  Wait, no. You said we'd flip it. We would do, the Miami Home Runners, a rule change.

• 1:15:54Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah. You and I made a bet though. I can't remember.

• 1:15:59Speaker 02

  I think we may have as soon as like it comes to you, I'll lay you the bet.

• 1:16:02Speaker 00

  Either way, your, your team is dog shit. Hank, good job. You're pulling away.

• 1:16:07Speaker 02

  Thank you.

• 1:16:08Speaker 00

  Four weeks left in the regular season. Yeah.

• 1:16:11Speaker 02

  Ball more.

• 1:16:12Speaker 00

  Big time ball more. All right, was that it, Zach?

• 1:16:14Speaker 02

  I think it was if I don't come in last, you're in the punishment too.

• 1:16:16Speaker 00

  That's right. Okay. I feel very confident in that bet. Um, all right, let's do Pete Prisco, then we will finish with our one on one Mount Rushmore, Zach versus Hank.

  Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest, one of our good, good friends. It is Pete Prisco, CBSsports.com, CBS Sports HQ. He's on the book. I gotta find you.

• 1:18:32Speaker 02

  Let's see.

• 1:18:32Speaker 00

  Randy Moss is on there, so that maybe he's, is he not on the book?

• 1:18:37Speaker 02

  Pete's, that.

• 1:18:37Speaker 00

  Pete's gotta be on the book.

• 1:18:39Speaker 02

  Pete's gotta be.

• 1:18:39Speaker 04

  You kicked me out of the book?

• 1:18:40Speaker 00

  I think you gotta be on the, well, there's a couple bald guys, so we could just say one of them is you. Um.

• 1:18:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, right. Oh, no, that's Charles Barkley.

• 1:18:49Speaker 00

  You're on the book.

• 1:18:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, you're on the book.

• 1:18:50Speaker 00

  On the back of the book. The back with Alex Caruso and other bald guys, Stanford Steve, Randy Moss. You might not be on the book. There's a lot of bald guys on the book. Pete, hello. It's almost football season.

• 1:19:03Speaker 04

  Amen.

• 1:19:04Speaker 00

  Excited to have you on. I wanna start with my favorite thing that Pete Prisco does for this show every single year. Let's start and we'll go through, you know, teams you like, quarterbacks, all this stuff, but let's start with who is going to, uh, get deep into the playoffs simply because of their schedule? You gave us the Jaguars a couple of years ago. You were a year early, I think, on them. Uh, but who is the schedule merchant of the 2026 NFL season?

• 1:19:33Speaker 04

  Well, that's a good question. Schedule merchant. I mean, cause the Patriots were kinda the schedule merchant last year.

• 1:19:39Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:19:39Speaker 04

  If you look at their schedule, so, but.

• 1:19:44Speaker 04

  I'm trying to think of some, so you're talking about somebody that's gonna go from a non-playoff team to become a playoff team because of their schedule.

• 1:19:49Speaker 02

  Pete, if there's one thing that's usually pretty consistent about you, you tell us like, look at the schedule dummy.

• 1:19:54Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:19:55Speaker 02

  I feel like I've heard you say that a lot.

• 1:19:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:19:56Speaker 02

  Where, where there's one team where the schedule breaks nicely.

• 1:19:58Speaker 04

  You can look at a division, for example, I mean, the Buffalo Bills are gonna win the division and they're gonna win it easily because of, look who's in that division.

• 1:20:06Speaker 00

  So you're not buying the Patriots this year?

• 1:20:09Speaker 04

  No, I'm not. I think when you win a lot of close games and you don't play a real tough schedule and you kinda falter down the stretch, particularly on offense, that's concerning to me.

• 1:20:20Speaker 00

  Okay, okay.

• 1:20:21Speaker 04

  So I think Buffalo is gonna run away with that division. I really do.

• 1:20:24Speaker 00

  I got one for you. I think the Detroit Lions are, are, are the team that has a softer schedule because remember last year, and I'm not a big believer, you know, everyone's like, oh, first place schedule, it's three games that are different, but it can be a big three games. And the Vikings stupidly won five games at the end of the season for nothing to show for it, to finish third in the NFC North. And the Lions were one of those teams that felt like a snake bitten team last year where they lost a lot of close games. Their offense is still gonna be very good. They get, they, the, the, the way the schedule, uh, goes, they get to play, I think it's the Cardinals. I, I can't remember who else is in, in, oh, the Cardinals and the Giants are two of the teams that they get to play where it's like

• 1:21:08Speaker 00

  the Bears have to play the Seahawks. You know what I mean? There's a little difference there. Uh, do you, do you buy in on the Lions at all this year?

• 1:21:15Speaker 04

  No, I don't. And, and I think the division's brutal.

• 1:21:18Speaker 00

  It is.

• 1:21:19Speaker 04

  If I have to stack that division, I still think the Packers are good. I do it every year. I know people give me crap about it, but I still think the Packers are good. I think your Bears are gonna be good on offense. I don't know how good they'll be on defense.

• 1:21:31Speaker 00

  It could be, it could be rough on defense. Yep.

• 1:21:33Speaker 04

  Yeah. And then I think Minnesota, if they get anything from Kyler Murray, you know they're gonna be really good on defense.

• 1:21:39Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:21:39Speaker 04

  So where does that put the line? You know, maybe they have an easy. Added division schedule, but the division's still brutal.

• 1:21:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:21:45Speaker 04

  That's concerning to me.

• 1:21:46Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:21:47Speaker 02

  And one other team.

• 1:21:48Speaker 04

  Cowboys, and nobody wants to hear this, but I'm bullish on the Cowboys.

• 1:21:51Speaker 00

  I am too. Let's talk about it.

• 1:21:53Speaker 02

  I hear a lot about that. The Cowboys are, I mean, they're, they're a fun team to, to observe, fun team to watch. Do people really want to see the Cowboys be good though?

• 1:22:02Speaker 04

  Why not? You don't because you're, you're commander's side. So why not?

• 1:22:06Speaker 00

  I, I, I think the Cowboys are going to be good as well, Pete, but you tell me, you give me your pitch because I, I think it's like they, they've added guys on defense. Their offense should be explosive. They have all three, you know, three skill positions spoken for. Dak, when healthy, has proven that he can be a very good quarterback. What's your pitch on the Cowboys?

• 1:22:25Speaker 04

  Well, we know they're going to score a ton of points and I know there's some concern about the offensive line. They made a trade to get Brody Jones. I mean, he's not a great player, so they're concerned about their tackles. But I think they'll be okay there. They're going to score points on offense. I think the biggest difference is going to be on defense.

• 1:22:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:22:40Speaker 04

  I mean, you, you get a new defensive coordinator is going to do a lot of different things. They got a lot of, they got a ton of athletes up front now who can rush the passer. And I think they're going to be creative. I, I, I love what they've done on defense in the off season. So they're going to be that much better. They don't have to be a number one, two, three, four defense. They just have to be significantly better. And I think they will be.

• 1:22:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:22:59Speaker 04

  So I think Dallas, Dallas to me is going to win the division. I think they'll be better than the Eagles. I think they're going to be better than the Giants and the commanders. I think they win that division.

• 1:23:07Speaker 02

  What about the Rams? Or I, I want to hear your take on, on Aaron Donald. This is probably the first time that we've had a, a team add two top 10 all time defensive linemen uh in, in, in one off season. I mean, on paper, it seems like it should work, but I know you've got to take Pete. I know that you see like Aaron Donald taking two years off football and thinking he can come back. How do you think that's going to shake out?

• 1:23:31Speaker 04

  Well, I mean, it doesn't happen every day. So it's everybody sitting there saying, well, he's in the greatest shape of his life. Look at how much he works out and anything. But football shape and playing the game is different than working out in your gym. He's a freak in the gym. We know that. He was a freak as a football player. He was, but he's 35. He hadn't played in two years. That's a long time not to play football. So we'll see. But if they get 80% of Aaron Donald, that's better than most defensive linemen in the league. If they get 50% of Aaron Donald, that could be a problem.

• 1:24:03Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:24:03Speaker 04

  So we'll see. And here's the other thing. What is it? Four times in the last 30 years, the team that was the odds on favorite to win it all has won it? I think it's four times. And so on paper, the Rams are too easy to pencil in. And I'm with you. I think it's a great team on paper, but they have concerns.

• 1:24:20Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:24:21Speaker 04

  They're not fast. The receivers aren't fast. The running backs aren't fast. The offensive line is okay. It's not great. And, and so there are concerns with that team. And they play in, you know, in that division with Seattle who's, you know, people just sleeping on Seattle. They're really good.

• 1:24:36Speaker 00

  Ooh, I like what you did there. I like that. That was a good, good one. Uh, Tom Hanks.

• 1:24:41Speaker 02

  Meg Ryan, remember that?

• 1:24:42Speaker 00

  Love that. Uh, all right. So talk about Seattle.

• 1:24:44Speaker 04

  Sleepless in Seattle. Yeah.

• 1:24:46Speaker 00

  I, I do agree with you. It's weird that the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. The, all the questions about Sam Darnold were, you know, seemingly answered the fact that he didn't, you know, yes, in, in the Super Bowl specifically, did he have to carry that team? Absolutely not. The, the defense was incredible and lights out. But he did play really, really well in the NFC championship game. He played well against the Rams down the stretch. But it's weird going into the season, no one, everyone's kind of like, yeah, they're not going to do it again. Like no way they're, they can't do it again. And that's just bizarre to me because they did come on so strong and they played in the toughest division and they just throttled teams down the stretch.

• 1:25:27Speaker 04

  And, and you know what? He proved me wrong. I didn't, I didn't know he had that in him. I'll be honest with you. I didn't think he had it in him. And every, every game throughout the whole season, big games, you sat there, you said, oh, he's going to Sam Darnold. He's going to Darnold, you know, and he didn't. And he played really good football and they did a really good job of dominating on defense and not let, and they got big plays by the way. You look at his yards per attempt, he actually got the ball down the field.

• 1:25:52Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:25:52Speaker 04

  So kudos to him. Kudos to that offense. And by the way, Kenneth Walker's gone. I think Jadarian Price is going to be a star in that offense. I don't think they're going to miss, miss Kenneth Walker. By the way, he was splitting time with Sharpe Day before Sharpe Day got hurt. People forget that.

• 1:26:08Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:26:08Speaker 04

  So I think Seattle's right there again. I think Mike McDonald has the right temperament for the job. And I think defensively they're going to be dominant again. And look, you win by knocking the other guy's quarterback down over and over again, and that's what they do.

• 1:26:21Speaker 00

  I, I, I agree with the Kenneth Walker thing. I, I think the Seahawks will be just fine. I do, I, I think it's, you know, one of those situations where free agent signing is kind of a win for both teams. Cause Seattle was able to not have to pay a running back that much. They get a running back in the draft and the Chiefs. I love Kenneth Walker on the Chiefs. The Chiefs have had just atrocious, atrocious running games. And if Kenneth Walker can, can be that guy who, you know, has the threat to, to get these chunk yards. Their offense could look a lot better because I don't know what else on their offense is like, like blowing you away right now, except for the fact that it's Patrick Mahomes.

• 1:26:59Speaker 04

  By the way, I think people are sleeping on that team too.

• 1:27:01Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:27:02Speaker 04

  I mean, you have Andy Reid, who might end up being the greatest coach of all time when it's all said and done.

• 1:27:08Speaker 00

  Uh, Belichick just won in Ireland. Has Andy Reid ever done that with a college team?

• 1:27:13Speaker 04

  No, but he was playing TCU. It was terrible.

• 1:27:15Speaker 00

  Just saying, just saying, just saying. Andy Reid, has Andy Reid ever won a college football game in Ireland?

• 1:27:20Speaker 04

  Reid might end up with the most wins of anybody. Let's just say he wins another Super Bowl, which is entirely possible. He stays three or four more years. Then he's going to be in the conversation as greatest coach of all time. And you have Patrick Mahomes. Now he's coming off the knee injury, so we don't know what he's going to be like when people are actually trying to hit him. But I think he's going to be close to being 100%. They're going to score points because, you know, they've had problems, but I think their receivers are good enough. I think Kelsey's capable in the middle of the field. He's not the same guy and they'll run the ball. But I love what they've done on defense. You add Peter Woods, our Mason Thomas, who's going to be a star rush in the passer, the lane at corner. And then you've got other guys that are going to get better like Gelati, Ashton Gelati, guys like that. They're going to take the next step.

• 1:28:02Speaker 04

  And we know Spags is going to be able to scheme stuff open. I mean, scheme stuff to get people and hit the quarterback. So I, I think the Chiefs are being slept though. I really do. I think they're one of those teams that nobody, oh, the windows closed, they're done. No, it's not. They're going to be right there in the mix again.

• 1:28:16Speaker 00

  Yeah. So the teams you look for that had the year from hell where it's like, is it the year from hell and everything went wrong? And, and are the bones of the structure still good? And I would say that's the Chiefs.

• 1:28:26Speaker 02

  I, by the way, I looked it up. Andy Reid, actually he, uh, he scored a 23 meter shot against Cyprus in a World Cup qualifier in Ireland. Uh, and he had a free kick goal, uh, 35 yards against Bulgaria, November 18th, 2003. Andy Reid was apparently the name of a captain of the Irish soccer team.

• 1:28:46Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:28:48Speaker 02

  So better than Belichick. Yeah.

• 1:28:49Speaker 00

  Yeah, that is better than Belichick.

• 1:28:52Speaker 02

  So Pete, when you're looking at the schedule, there's one team. Expectations probably couldn't be any lower. We're not sure if they're even going to play offense this year, the Cleveland Browns. Their schedule though is, is very favorable. It's, it's not the hardest that you'll see. In fact, I think it's probably the easiest in the league. What do you make of what's going on in Cleveland? Um, is there, is there somebody that can play quarterback for them on their roster right now?

• 1:29:20Speaker 04

  No, there is not. And they're going to be bad at quarterback position. But you know what they're going to be good at on defense? I think they're going to be feisty on defense. They have good players on defense. They drafted well the last two years. And they just got to get it ready and keep it nice and warm. Keep that seat warm for Arch Manning for next year. That's what they got to do. I mean, because look, their quarterback situation is a mess. Tashawn Watson, not very good. Shador Sanders, not very good. Now Dylan Gabriel's on, you know, on IR. He's not there now, even though they kept him and then, and then they have the kid green. They're not good at quarterback. So they're going to have to be able to try and run the ball, manufacture some offense. But I think they're going to be tough on defense and they're going to be a problem for teams on defense. So get it all ready for next year.

• 1:30:04Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:30:04Speaker 04

  And then draft your quarterback next year and you bring him in there and then you start building around that guy.

• 1:30:09Speaker 02

  So we were talking about that a couple of days ago with, uh, with the Manning factor and how it seems like he, right now, I mean, there's a lot of college football left to be played, but you would assume that he might be the number one pick in next year's draft. Eli famously declined to go to the Chargers. Would that be a situation that the Manning family would flex against the Browns? We think maybe not because Haslam, Tennessee, the connection they got with Peyton. They're probably on good terms, but I don't know what you, what you've heard about that, if anything.

• 1:30:36Speaker 04

  Yeah, they're on good terms. I, I don't, I don't think they would, they would flex on that one. I think he would go there and I think it would be a great opportunity for him. But look, like you said, there's a lot of football left to play this college football season. There's a lot of guys in the college football draft, in the draft next year. They're going to be capable of being the, the number one overall pick, I think. Dante Moore might end up being it. Darius Manson might end up being that guy. Mestamaker. I don't know if you guys have seen him at Oklahoma State. There's a lot of guys. The CJ Card, Notre Dame. Uh, there's a lot of guys. In that draft. So Cleveland play this year with whoever you play at quarterback. Get through it. It's not going to be fun. And get your guy next year. Then all of a sudden you solve that quarterback problem.

• 1:31:12Speaker 02

  Yeah, then then you're back at it again. Pete with the the two quarterbacks in the AFC. That haven't gotten it done Lamar and Josh Allen. Which of these two guys do you think is going to be? Most affected when they don't win a Super Bowl next year?

• 1:31:29Speaker 04

  In terms of taking the heat?

• 1:31:31Speaker 02

  Yeah, who's? Yeah, whose seed is going to be hotter? When they inevitably flame out at the end of the year and we hope Josh wins.

• 1:31:38Speaker 04

  Yeah, I think I probably Buffalo. But because look, I think Josh, you know, a lot of people consider Josh the best player in the league now. And if that's the case, you gotta you got your guy in as the coach. You gotta go out and put up big numbers and and be able to carry that team to a Super Bowl. And you know, enough's enough. And then, look, I'm a big believer in what they do. I'm a big believer in what they've done to change things. I I thought Sean McDermott was a hell of a coach, but it got stale. And it got, you know, things got old. They had to change the way they do things. When you're a third and 12 or third and 10 in the playoff game and you play a soft zone and they hit 12 yard pass and keep the drive alive. You gotta do things differently. And I think Jim Leonard will be aggressive.

• 1:32:21Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:32:21Speaker 04

  I think I think the offense will be much more aggressive. Like I said to people up there when I was when I was up there a couple of weeks ago. James Cook led the league in rushing last year. Would you rather have James Cook beat you or Josh Allen beat you? If James Cook's gonna beat me, go ahead. I'd rather have him running the ball than Josh Allen doing his thing any day of the week.

• 1:32:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:32:43Speaker 04

  So I think we're gonna see more Josh Allen and loose and free Josh Allen, which I think they need to do.

• 1:32:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, I I I think I I agree with you there. I think Joe Brady like it might be a situation where he was being not held back. But you know, Sean McDermott ran the show and now you get to see Joe Brady be a little bit more creative and and lean into the strengths. And I think he's gonna be and I I do love Jim Leonard. I think that's gonna be an aggressive defense. It's gonna not do exactly what you described in the playoffs. What about a team that everyone's high on that you are not high on? Because that's where you shine, Pete. That's where I love I love to hear your takes.

• 1:33:19Speaker 04

  It it teams that I'm that everybody's high on that I'm not, I would say the one that concerns me as much as anybody is the Texans.

• 1:33:27Speaker 00

  Oh, okay, because I'm high on the Texans.

• 1:33:29Speaker 04

  I'm high on their defense, but boy, we gotta see that offense. And that offense to me, there's a lot of things to worry about. The new offensive line, they it's different than it's been, but is it better? Are they gonna run the ball better? And what are we gonna get from CJ Stroud?

• 1:33:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:33:45Speaker 04

  And who's he throwing to?

• 1:33:47Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:33:47Speaker 04

  Nico Collins is a big time player, but where else is he going to?

• 1:33:51Speaker 00

  Yeah, K. Sean Booty, I mean, but all right, let me pitch you on on the Texans. I think it's year two in the offensive quarter offensive system. I do think their offensive line is gonna be better. And I think David Montgomery, like they needed. The Texans, it feels like they've had just a quarterback revolving door where guys have been good, but then get hurt. And and David Montgomery can be that bell cow back for them. And I think that will take a lot of pressure off CJ Stroud where he doesn't, especially because here's here's why I'm high on the Texans. When it all boils down to it, their defense was so good last year. CJ Stroud just had to play like a C plus and they could have won the Super Bowl. He ended up playing a D minus, and that's why they got bounced in the playoffs. But it's not like you're asking CJ Stroud to be a top five quarterback.

• 1:34:35Speaker 00

  You need CJ Stroud to to to basically have the 12th best offense in the league, and I think they could do that.

• 1:34:43Speaker 04

  They're not better than Jacksonville.

• 1:34:45Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 1:34:46Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:34:47Speaker 02

  High on the Jags.

• 1:34:48Speaker 00

  Weird. You've never been high on the Jags.

• 1:34:49Speaker 02

  Jacking off.

• 1:34:50Speaker 04

  I mean, I mean, that team won 13 games last year and everybody's sitting there saying, oh, they lost this guy and that guy. They lost Devon Lloyd. They didn't really care if they lost Devon Lloyd. They lost H and ETN, whatever his name is now.

• 1:35:02Speaker 02

  Don't do that, Pete.

• 1:35:04Speaker 00

  You said it right. You said it right the first time. You know his name.

• 1:35:07Speaker 04

  H Chan.

• 1:35:08Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, you got it.

• 1:35:10Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 1:35:11Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:35:12Speaker 04

  Okay, so they look at their team, they add a a top level corner to that team that wasn't there a year ago. Travis Hunter's a shutdown corner. Now he kicks over the guy who was playing the one corner now becomes the two, the two becomes the three. And now all of a sudden, you're pretty good across the board on the corner position, which is important for them. And I think, you know, offensively, they're gonna score a ton of points. I I mean, a ton of points because I think Trevor Lawrence was in the MVP conversation last year. And he's gonna be in that conversation again this year. And by the way, I don't know if your producer wants to make that argument about Jalen Hurts versus Trevor Lawrence again. I don't think.

• 1:35:48Speaker 02

  Let's kick it over to our producer.

• 1:35:49Speaker 00

  Well, Max is on a sex vacation right now. He's in he's in Italy, but.

• 1:35:55Speaker 04

  Good for him because he didn't he didn't want to he didn't want any part of the smoke on this one.

• 1:35:59Speaker 00

  Yes, Zach, you fill in for Max here and argue Jalen Hurts over Trevor Lawrence.

• 1:36:04Speaker 04

  Jalen Hurts could never do it or Trevor Lawrence could never do it. Jalen Hurts is not on a football field. What's that? What's that? What is that? I mean, his ability to move around the pocket, get the ball down the field. We've seen some of that from Trevor Lawrence, little splashes of it, but John Hurts is the whole bucket. You know what I mean? Well, he's not a great passer, so I don't know what you mean. I think, look, hey, look, Jalen Hurts, you can never take away what he's done in the Super Bowl. Nobody will ever take that away from him. He's had that moment. So did Nick Foles once upon a time, too. And he's been good. He hasn't been great, but the city remember last year when Max was like, oh, it's not even close. It's Jalen Hurts against Trevor Lawrence. It's not even close. Who would you guys take now? You had to you had to you had to go right now. Who would you take as your quarterback?

• 1:36:45Speaker 02

  Oh, man. Max isn't here, so I'll I'll say I'll say Jalen Hurts. But when Max comes back, I will fully deny that I said that.

• 1:36:52Speaker 00

  Well, I think context matters. I would take Jalen Hurts if he had Liam Cohen.

• 1:36:59Speaker 04

  I wouldn't take Lee. I wouldn't take Jalen Hurts with Liam Cohen, and I don't think Liam Cohen would take Jalen Hurts.

• 1:37:03Speaker 00

  Okay, because I do think that the Eagles often, I mean, we've seen it every other year. It just becomes the the the most like pathetic and unoriginal offense you could possibly have. And I I don't know if that's all on Jalen Hurts. Some of it is, but some of it's not on him.

• 1:37:17Speaker 02

  I mean, it is. It's a tough argument to make because the Eagles, their offense is. It does a lot of stuff, right? And so Jalen Hurts doesn't have to be like a gunslinger as much as some of the other guys in the league, but.

• 1:37:28Speaker 04

  But question, could could he be a gunslinger if he had to be?

• 1:37:31Speaker 00

  I don't know.

• 1:37:32Speaker 02

  I don't think so. I don't think you want him slinging a gun.

• 1:37:34Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:37:35Speaker 04

  Okay, well, then then he's limited throwing the football and and look, he's had his great moments. You can't take him away from him. But if you had to ask me that argument right now, like a year ago, Max was so hot to trot on the thing and he's wrong. He was proven wrong.

• 1:37:48Speaker 02

  I don't. I hate that you're making me argue in defense of Max, but at the time, I think he had just won a Super Bowl. So of course Max is gonna say that and he looked great in the Super Bowl, too.

• 1:37:57Speaker 04

  And Max is an Eagles fan.

• 1:37:58Speaker 00

  Yeah, you get to say if you win the Super Bowl, you get to say your guy's the best.

• 1:38:03Speaker 04

  Yeah, but that's not always the case. Was Nick Foles ever the best?

• 1:38:05Speaker 00

  Well, the year after, yeah.

• 1:38:07Speaker 04

  No, Nick Foles was never the best. It's the greatest accident in the history of the National Football League. That's what that was.

• 1:38:12Speaker 00

  Man.

• 1:38:13Speaker 02

  I think Sam Darnold.

• 1:38:14Speaker 00

  Greatest accident in the history of the National Football League.

• 1:38:17Speaker 02

  Sam Darnold is is the best quarterback in the NFL right now. Yes, that's what I will say.

• 1:38:22Speaker 00

  What time is it in Italy right now? No chance Max is awake, right?

• 1:38:25Speaker 04

  You don't believe you do not. You do not believe that Sam Darnold is the best quarterback in the National.

• 1:38:29Speaker 00

  No, I don't.

• 1:38:31Speaker 02

  But you get to say it. Seahawks fans should 100% be saying that right now.

• 1:38:34Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:38:35Speaker 02

  And they should be entitled to believe that.

• 1:38:38Speaker 04

  Right, but if he's told you that, you guys would laugh in their face because that's not true. With Josh Allen or Sam Darnold, go ahead, have at it.

• 1:38:44Speaker 02

  Well, then they'd say like, well, Sam just won a Super Bowl. And then I'd be like, damn, checkmate.

• 1:38:49Speaker 04

  Super Bowl. I mean, Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl. Think about that.

• 1:38:52Speaker 02

  Elite. So you're saying he's elite.

• 1:38:53Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:38:54Speaker 02

  Yeah. Flacco.

• 1:38:55Speaker 04

  Brad Johnson won a Super Bowl.

• 1:38:57Speaker 02

  That is true. Great quarterback. Awesome quarterback.

• 1:38:59Speaker 00

  What? All right. All right. Speaking of Brad Johnson's team, are the Bucks, I have them pegged and I love Baker. I just think that the vibes are so like that was such a clear spot where they could have fired Todd Bowles last year. And I don't know if it's gonna look any different than it did down the stretch where they they kind of quit on him like you can't. If you watch that, they had the most talented team in the NFC South and Baker was banged up and he's always like the toughest guy out there. But is that going to look any different this year? Is it going to to come back? They still have a talented roster, but are they gonna be able to? You know, get back to the playoffs and win that division, which they they should be able to on paper.

• 1:39:39Speaker 04

  They will. They're gonna win the division. Look, look at that division. Carolina's not any good. Atlanta's got pass rush quarterback issues and and the Saints are rising, but we don't know yet.

• 1:39:50Speaker 00

  Tyler Shuck. Tyler Shuck.

• 1:39:52Speaker 04

  We don't know if he can do it again consistently.

• 1:39:54Speaker 02

  He looked pretty consistent.

• 1:39:56Speaker 00

  Do it again.

• 1:39:57Speaker 04

  He did. Look, I like what I saw from him. Well, you gotta show me again.

• 1:40:00Speaker 02

  Pete, who do you think throws a more catchable ball, Trevor Lawrence or Tyler Shuck?

• 1:40:04Speaker 04

  Tyler Shuck throws a pretty pass.

• 1:40:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, he does. Sam, right.

• 1:40:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, he does.

• 1:40:08Speaker 04

  Yes, he does.

• 1:40:09Speaker 00

  Oh, I did a bad job.

• 1:40:10Speaker 04

  He's also 32 or something, isn't he? Did he just turn 32?

• 1:40:14Speaker 00

  Tyler Shuck?

• 1:40:15Speaker 04

  He's like 28 or something.

• 1:40:17Speaker 02

  You're doing the thing that Big Cat does with with love.

• 1:40:20Speaker 00

  Yeah, Jordan Love is 36. That is a fact.

• 1:40:22Speaker 04

  No, no, I'm telling you, Tyler Shuck is like 27.

• 1:40:25Speaker 00

  He's 26 years old. Okay, relax. Yes, he will be 27 week three, whatever.

• 1:40:31Speaker 04

  There you go.

• 1:40:32Speaker 00

  Whatever. Yeah, whatever.

• 1:40:34Speaker 04

  Well, but the Bucks, here's the thing about the Bucks. Their offense had two players start the entire season. It was Baker who's banged up and probably shouldn't have. And Graham Barton, who played at left tackle for three games. So and he's their starting center. So they they were so banged up on offense, you couldn't tell what they were.

• 1:40:52Speaker 02

  That's true.

• 1:40:52Speaker 04

  And I think and I think now the offensive line's good when they're on the field. I think a book is gonna have a big year. They like their receivers. Baker, you know, Baker's playing with a chip on his shoulder. He wants to damn money.

• 1:41:04Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 1:41:04Speaker 04

  And then on defense, I think adding Bain, getting David Walker back, who, by the way, has been phenomenal this summer. And getting getting Cancy on the field, they're gonna be able to attack the quarterback, which you weren't able to do last year. So I think Tampa's the team to beat in that division and and I think they have a chance to get a little hot in the playoffs and maybe scare some people.

• 1:41:23Speaker 00

  Oh, shit. All right. You've changed my opinion on Tampa. I I do. I I probably would like pick them to win that division just because I just. I'm always I'm always very aware. Maybe it's like the Bears in me where it's like if you leave, if you let a head coach stay an extra year. It's like, what are you expecting to change? Do you know what I mean? Like, you're bringing him back.

• 1:41:41Speaker 04

  He changed the coordinator on offense. I mean, Zach Robinson's in on offense now. So I think, you know, that might help them, but we'll see. A lot of people in Atlanta didn't like Zach Robinson. And so I you gotta, you know, it's hard, hard to evaluate them with the fans are, you know, screaming at them all the time.

• 1:41:54Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:41:55Speaker 02

  Pete, I, I was a, a big fan, always a big fan of reading your top 100 players list that you come up with. I got a question for you. How do you, how do you compare? Cause the thing that makes me laugh the most is when you see, all right, you've got Tristan Wirfs at 22, and then you've got, uh, De- Devin Witherspoon right after him. And like, how do you compare? Is this offensive lineman better at football than this cornerback? Like how, how do you get down to it?

• 1:42:19Speaker 04

  Well, that one, I mean, usually comes, are you better at your position than you are at his? And that's how it comes. So you could, you could make that top 100 all quarterbacks. If you wanted to go by the basis of value of the position, right? It would be all top, top 10 would be all quarterbacks. So is Tristan Wirfs better at his position than Witherspoon is at his? And that's kind of how I, I judge that.

• 1:42:41Speaker 02

  Got it. So we, we appreciate you put this list out in late June when there was like nothing to talk about in the NFL because it gave us like 45 seconds to go back and forth. And there was one part that was interesting to, uh, to this show. The quarterbacks at number 69 and 70 were Jaden Daniels and Caleb Williams.

• 1:43:02Speaker 04

  Correct.

• 1:43:03Speaker 02

  Why, why there and why in that order?

• 1:43:07Speaker 04

  Well, I, I still think Jay Daniels was hurt last year all year and it impacted who he was. And Caleb Williams got better and earned his spot on that list. But let's not go crazy because he still didn't complete over 60% of his passes last year.

• 1:43:21Speaker 00

  Oh, you're one of them. You're one of them. I love you. I love, I love guys like you.

• 1:43:26Speaker 04

  I thought he, I, hey, big cat, I thought he made big strides last year. I'm not going to take that away from him, but he's got to be better at one, two, three, and getting the ball out rather than one, two, three, running around for 20 minutes and making a great play. That doesn't happen all the time.

• 1:43:42Speaker 00

  I'm not, I, I'm giving you shit. I, I, I actually have no problem with that critique, but what I would say back to you is would, would you rather have a guy, and, and this is just in general, like where all you have to just raise his, his floor. Cause you already know the ceiling is like sky high. That's really what it is. You've got to make the little plays it like easier. He's got to make the, these simple plays, simple and, and, and, and get those check downs. I would rather, I would take the guy who you just got to raise that floor a little bit.

• 1:44:11Speaker 04

  Correct. Again, like when the coach grades a play and he goes one, two, he's got to get, he's got to read it through and he's supposed to throw to number three. And he doesn't throw it to three and instead he runs around and he makes this amazing throw to the back of the end zone. On the grade sheet, that's a negative.

• 1:44:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:44:28Speaker 04

  Minus, but he made the play. He's got to get to where he's making the plays in the offense. And you know, Ben Johnson wants him to do that and he's going to get there.

• 1:44:36Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:44:36Speaker 04

  He will get there.

• 1:44:37Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:44:37Speaker 04

  But he's not there yet.

• 1:44:38Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:44:38Speaker 04

  And so that's kind of why I ranked them now.

• 1:44:40Speaker 00

  Ben Johnson's a psycho that will get him there. And I, I think Caleb Williams is bought all the way in like that's.

• 1:44:45Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 1:44:45Speaker 00

  It, it's very clear that that is a, a really good, healthy relationship that is beneficial to both of them.

• 1:44:51Speaker 04

  They're going to quit going for it on fourth down all the time.

• 1:44:53Speaker 00

  Well, guess what? Our defense is so bad, I think it might happen some more. I, cause you have to play to the strengths of your team. Like I don't, I don't think, I, I'm very nervous about the Bears defense. They, they made one big signing in the off season with Kobe Bryant and they were like, hey, we're going to get covered. Yeah, we get covered sacks and then he's hurt and, uh, Kyler Gordon can't stay on the field. The pass rushes didn't get markedly better unless one of the rookies pops. So yeah, that, that is a big concern for the Bears.

• 1:45:21Speaker 04

  Yeah. And you know, I, I said something, we, we had Ben Johnson on at the combine and I said, hey, look, you gotta stop going for it all the time. And he said, well, you know, I'll make you a convert. Well, you know, you're never going to convert me. I, I, I think if you go back to, if you go to the playoffs, four teams, I think it was four teams cost themselves a chance to move on by making dumb decisions by going for it on fourth down. Jacksonville did it. Remember?

• 1:45:44Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:45:44Speaker 04

  They got, they, they went for it, didn't get it. The, the Bears did it a couple of different times, didn't do it.

• 1:45:49Speaker 00

  Well, they also won the Packers game because they were aggressive.

• 1:45:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, but they did, the, the Rams game, they lost because they didn't, they, they, they made dumb bad decisions. And, and again, the reason being exactly what you said, the defense wasn't good enough. So you were in that situation, you had to. Then Sean Payton, what in the hell was that in the playoffs?

• 1:46:07Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:46:07Speaker 04

  I mean, you, you gotta, you know, the snow's coming. You gotta kick a field goal in that scenario. That was bad. And then, uh, and then there was one more and I, I, oh, the Rams. What were the Rams doing in the Seattle game at the, at the end of the half? Remember? There was two scenarios and Sean McVay's a great coach, but he got the ball at the end of the half and he, he tried to throw the ball. And remember they, they got, they got the ball back instead of the running it, running out the clock and they, they scored at the end of the half. And then late in the game, he went for a touchdown when he could have kicked a field goal, made it a one point game and put all the pressure on, uh, on Sam Darnold.

• 1:46:41Speaker 00

  Sounds like you're playing the results.

• 1:46:43Speaker 04

  I'm playing situational football. They don't, they all need to learn it. They don't, they're not great at it.

• 1:46:48Speaker 00

  I, listen, I, there's definitely, I mean, I, I feel like Ben Johnson even said it in press conferences after the, the, the Rams game in the, in the off season. Like you gotta learn like the outdoor football in January in Chicago. Like you gotta play a different style and there's got to be a different game script. Sean McVay didn't know that during that game too. I was at that game. Sean McVay, it took him three quarters to realize, hey, we could just run it down their throat and, and they finally did it. And that's when the game kind of changed.

• 1:47:15Speaker 04

  Fourth and, yeah. Was it fourth and goal for the six or something?

• 1:47:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:47:19Speaker 04

  With about four and a half minutes to go in the game and he went for it instead of kicking, they were down four instead of kicking the field goal. Make it, put it all on Sam Darnold. Go make a play. Make him make plays.

• 1:47:27Speaker 00

  Yeah. Uh, by the way, I did a bad job at the start of this because I should have said, I'm, I'm very sorry. Uh, today is cut day and, uh, you lost Will Levis. I know he is.

• 1:47:36Speaker 04

  Yeah, I was wrong about that one.

• 1:47:38Speaker 00

  Was he like 20 on your top 100 list?

• 1:47:41Speaker 04

  Yeah, no, he wasn't on the top 100 list, but I'll tell you what, when he came out, I thought he was going to be really good. I was wrong.

• 1:47:46Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:47:46Speaker 04

  I can admit, well, I can, see, unlike some people in this business, I can admit when I'm wrong.

• 1:47:50Speaker 00

  Oh, who's that?

• 1:47:51Speaker 02

  Name, name, name, names.

• 1:47:53Speaker 00

  You also were wrong about Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson was at the winner's circle in Saratoga yesterday. I was there. So you're wrong about him.

• 1:47:59Speaker 04

  That's right. His horse won.

• 1:48:01Speaker 00

  Yeah, he's a winner. Yeah, you were wrong.

• 1:48:03Speaker 04

  How was I wrong?

• 1:48:04Speaker 00

  I don't know. You always just bash him.

• 1:48:06Speaker 02

  No, you hate Russell Wilson. You hate, you hate any mobile quarterback.

• 1:48:09Speaker 00

  You said he'd never win a horse race.

• 1:48:11Speaker 04

  I did, did I say that?

• 1:48:12Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:48:13Speaker 04

  No, he, it sounds like he's got a good horse.

• 1:48:15Speaker 02

  Yeah. Way better than the Broncos team he was on. What about, what about Justin Herbert? Where are you at with him? I, I know that you've been like, uh, uh, dubious. You've been skeptical about Justin Herbert at times.

• 1:48:26Speaker 04

  Nah, I've not been skeptical about him. I, I think he's got all the, everything it takes to win in this league, but it's time.

• 1:48:33Speaker 00

  Right.

• 1:48:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:48:34Speaker 04

  But win, win a playoff game. You know, it's time for him.

• 1:48:38Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:48:38Speaker 04

  And, and it hasn't always been him. I mean, that offensive line last year when they lost their two tackles was awful, but it's now he's got Mike McDaniel calling plays. He's going to have a run a game. The line should be better, even though he lost his center and, and they should be okay on defense. It's time.

• 1:50:23Speaker 00

  What do you think it's going to look like with Mike McDaniel? Because it's, it, this is fascinating to me is that Mike McDaniel, like I think that as much as we make the jokes about Mike McDaniel and Harbaugh being, you know, different guys and different philosophies. Mike McDaniel did have a true like shove it down your throat running game in San Francisco. The thing that Mike McDaniel's never had is a guy with a cannon. You know, he coached Tua before that, what Jimmy G and like, he's never had the guy who can just make every single throw. So what does that look like for him and how he's going to shape his offense?

• 1:50:56Speaker 04

  I can't wait to see it. I'll be honest with you. Look, and Mike McDaniel head coach, not good. Mike McDaniel offensive coordinator is going to be fun and he's going to be really good. They're going to score a lot of points and, and Herbert's going to love him. But you're right. The foundation of what Mike McDaniel wants to do is run the football.

• 1:51:13Speaker 00

  Right.

• 1:51:13Speaker 04

  The foundation of what Jim Harbaugh wants to do is run the football. And so Hampton's going to put up big numbers, running the football, and that's going to take a lot of the pressure off of Herbert. He's going to make some big throws down the field. I, I think they're going to be good on offense, but again, what they do in the regular season is not going to matter. They got to get to the postseason and win playoff games.

• 1:51:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:51:32Speaker 02

  Yeah. So what, what's a team from last year that did not make the playoffs that you think is going to be in this year?

• 1:51:39Speaker 04

  Well, that's a good question. Well, Tampa didn't make it, so I think they're going to win the division. So they'll be in.

• 1:51:43Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:51:43Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:51:44Speaker 04

  I think, I think the Bengals are going to win the division.

• 1:51:47Speaker 02

  Oh, okay. So it's, it's all going to come together. This is like, that's a big year, especially for the coach there. Feels like they kind of have to win.

• 1:51:55Speaker 04

  They better win. You're right. They better win. If they don't win, I think they, there's going to be some heads rolling there. And, and, and look, Burrow's got to stay on the field. We know that. If he's on the field, they're going to score points, period, end of story. But with what they've done on defense, they're going to be much better on defense this year and they don't have to be again, like the Cowboys. They don't have to be top five, top seven, you know, they need be in 10, 11, 12, and you're going to win the division. And I think they will. I think this is the year for the Bengals to get back, win the division and be a factor in the playoffs.

• 1:52:25Speaker 00

  Can I throw out another team for you that uh were worse placed teams last year that I actually think are going to be better. It's actually two teams and they share a stadium. I think the Jets and the Giants are going to be better. I think the Giants may be better than the Jets, but I actually think both those teams are going to have significantly better seasons than they did last year. And they're going to have more stability. And like, I think G, like the, you could say what you want about Gino, maybe he's too old, but he's better than what they've had recently, you know, maybe year two of Rogers when he was kind of not mobile. But like, I, I think those teams are going to be a lot more in the conversation than they've been in the last however long.

• 1:53:08Speaker 00

  It's been a long time and actually, you know, maybe win some games they shouldn't win. Maybe get into that six, seven, eight win, win situation where, hey, they're, they're fighting for a playoff spot down in December.

• 1:53:20Speaker 04

  I would think the Giants would be better. I think the Giants would be a better team. But you're right, they'll both be better than what they were. I just worry about the Jets. Are they going to be good, you know, better to the point where they're not going to get the quarterback they need to get next year?

• 1:53:34Speaker 00

  Right.

• 1:53:35Speaker 04

  You know what I mean? Like, and, and, you know, my, the guy, Rick Spielman, who used to work with us, I tell him all the time, you should have just tanked. You should have tanked. I mean, you know, why go sign Gino? Cause Gino's, Gino's capable of having good games. Why, why do that when you can just tank? And they signed a lot of veterans on defense, by the way. They added, added guys on that defense uh that'll make it better. So I'm with you. I think they'll, they'll be better. They're not going to be good and that's the problem. If you're better and not good, you take yourself out of the quarterback dirt.

• 1:54:06Speaker 00

  And I think the Giants have a chance of being good because the Giants were weird last year. Well, okay. So here's my pitch to the Giants. Do you remember the games that the Giants played last year where they had like some of the most insane like collapses? Remember the Broncos game? The, the Bears game at Soldier Field, they get Jackson Dart gets knocked out. Like there's, there was a shitload of games where they just fell apart. Harbaugh is going to bring stability. Harbaugh is going to actually give them, you know, if you're talking about the margins, Harbaugh is going to have them play good special teams. That's what he always does. And if Jackson Dart could stay healthy, I like, I think that's a team that like they're going to, you're going to see a big jump.

• 1:54:46Speaker 00

  That, that, that big jump that you get when you actually get a, a real head coach who has like a foundation in an organization and knows how to get guys ready for games.

• 1:54:56Speaker 04

  Well, we know they're going to be able to rush the passer. I mean, that, that we know. And, and I saw them work out with Miami last week and they, they, they just dominated the Dolphins. It was, it was amazing. I mean, they come at all, they come in waves. They have so many athletes that can come after the quarterback. So yeah, they're going to be able to rush the passer. It's all on Dart. If Dart takes the next step, then they're going to win seven or eight games. And they're going to maybe push for a playoff spot. If he doesn't, then they have major problems. So I, I would agree with you. I think Harbaugh will give them a little bit of oomph in terms of coaching. Uh, I think their offensive line could be a lot better than it's been. And I think defensively, they're going to get after the quarterback. Here's the problem though. To get after the quarterback, you gotta stop the run. Are they good enough stopping the run with no Dexter Lawrence and no that line?

• 1:55:41Speaker 04

  And the guys they have in there, that's the concern.

• 1:55:43Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 1:55:43Speaker 02

  Pete, how many, how many different training camps do you go to visit each summer?

• 1:55:46Speaker 04

  Not many. I only went to about, I saw like six, seven teams this year.

• 1:55:50Speaker 02

  Okay, that's not bad.

• 1:55:52Speaker 04

  No, I go see, I like, I went to Green Bay and spent two days. Uh, I went to Buffalo and spent two days. I'm working on a big story that it'll come out next week on, or maybe this week on what the hell has happened to the NFL passing game?

• 1:56:05Speaker 02

  Hmm. Okay. Well, yeah, the floor is yours. What the hell has happened to it?

• 1:56:09Speaker 00

  Yeah, give us a teaser.

• 1:56:11Speaker 04

  Well, there's five reasons and I broke them all down. One is the Vic Fangio effect. And everybody plays off coverage. They dare you to, you gotta be patient. They don't, they give you the big play down the field. Two is offensive line play is horrendous in this league and it doesn't allow you to have time to hit the big shots down the field. Three is the quarterback intelligence coming out of college ain't what it used to be because they, they're, it's all stand in the shotgun. Look over to the coach and get the play. Four is the looks that defenses throw at you are so creative now like you've never seen. It's incredible. And, and go and talk to all the quarterbacks and all the coaches about it. I'm telling you, it's amazing. And five is, and nobody wanted to, none of the coaches wanted to hear this when I said it to them.

• 1:56:56Speaker 04

  They've all become when it comes to throwing the football.

• 1:56:59Speaker 02

  Okay. Yeah.

• 1:56:59Speaker 00

  I like that. Wait, can I, can I go to four real quick? Who in your coordinator, because we know Fangio, we know Spags. Is there a couple of guys though that are doing stuff like McDonald will be another one, but are there a couple of guys that maybe aren't uh the flashy name, the names that come right to your head, that they're doing stuff on defense that is really giving people problems?

• 1:57:21Speaker 04

  Well, I think Flores.

• 1:57:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:57:23Speaker 04

  I mean, he's an obvious one. The stuff he does and the looks he throws at you, they're incredible. I mean, they really are. And, and, and he comes from all different directions and he's exotic with his coverages in the backend. And I mean, it's just what, what they do and his is different because he's much more aggressive and he leaves his guys out on islands a little bit more. But the creativity is amazing. And it's not just, you know, it used to be one of the things, remember when a guy went in motion? Teams would say, oh, well, he follows them. So they're a man to man. Well, now they follow them and they play zone behind it.

• 1:57:54Speaker 00

  Right.

• 1:57:55Speaker 04

  And so there's no indicators anymore and, and safety's rotating at the last second and quarterback's got to be on all the time. And, and I think also, and a lot of guys, I told them this, I said, you guys would rather have your quarterback throw for two, 10, one and none than three, 40, three and two. Well, not me, not me, not me. Oh, every one of them, not me, not me. Yeah, you, you, you, you and you.

• 1:58:21Speaker 00

  I love this.

• 1:58:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's good.

• 1:58:23Speaker 00

  Cause we agree.

• 1:58:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:58:24Speaker 00

  We want our quarterbacks throwing some interceptions from time to time.

• 1:58:27Speaker 02

  Gunslingers. Yeah. Push the limits a little bit.

• 1:58:28Speaker 04

  And I've had many a quarterback tell me, I could go through the whole season without throwing a pick if I wanted to, but that means I'm not throwing it in any windows.

• 1:58:34Speaker 00

  That's Aaron Rodgers, late, late Aaron Rodgers. That's what he does.

• 1:58:38Speaker 04

  Yeah. And so again, I talked to Josh Allen, Jordan Love, Trevor Lawrence. I spent an hour in Liam Coles office, talked to Joe Brady, Matt LaFleur, you know, Baker Mayfield, all of them. And to a man, uh, the coaches were all defensive when I said, oh yeah, well, not me, not me, that's not me. Well, yeah, it's all of you. It's all of you. You know, you know, the passing numbers were the lowest, average yards were the lowest they've been since 2009 last year.

• 1:59:05Speaker 02

  Yeah. Crazy. I mean, Drake May didn't have a 300 yard game until like pretty much the end of the season. It was crazy.

• 1:59:10Speaker 04

  Remember we had five, used to have 5,000 yard passers. Now if you throw for 4,000 yards, you're having a great year.

• 1:59:15Speaker 02

  Yeah. So actually.

• 1:59:16Speaker 04

  The Bears, the Bears will throw a ticker tape parade if somebody throws.

• 1:59:19Speaker 00

  Never happened.

• 1:59:20Speaker 02

  If, if you look at the, the single game all time record in the NFL, it's Norman Van Brocklin. And he had what? 554 yards? And it was in 1951? That's crazy that that record hasn't been broken.

• 1:59:34Speaker 04

  Well, here's the other thing, the completion of all the, I think it's of the top 18 completion percentage, single season completion percentages. I think nine of them have happened in the last like five years.

• 1:59:45Speaker 02

  Oh, but wait, I thought that that was your knock against Caleb was he didn't have a high enough completion percentage.

• 1:59:50Speaker 04

  Well, yeah, but completion percentages have gone up and yards per attempt have gone down.

• 1:59:56Speaker 00

  Dinking and Dunking.

• 1:59:57Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's Dick and Dunkly. That's what it is.

• 1:59:59Speaker 02

  It sounds like you're actually secretly in love with Caleb Williams.

• 2:00:03Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:00:03Speaker 02

  Because he is the guy that.

• 2:00:04Speaker 04

  I think Caleb Williams has made, I, I love watching the guy go from here to there. And he did that last year. That's impressive.

• 2:00:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, but he is, what PFT is saying, you're like, what you want out of an NFL quarterback, like the, the 20 years ago, you want Caleb Williams doing that.

• 2:00:20Speaker 04

  Yeah, but I want him doing it, dropping into, back into the pocket and then ripping one 40 yards, not dropping back into the pocket and taking off and running around in circles for a half hour.

• 2:00:28Speaker 00

  You're giving mixed signals. You know that? You're giving mixed signals.

• 2:00:31Speaker 02

  I think it's because he loves him and he's afraid, it, deep down it makes him scared.

• 2:00:34Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:00:35Speaker 02

  And that's okay. You'll figure it out one day.

• 2:00:37Speaker 04

  You, you know what I'm talking about because you both know, you want your quarterback going back in the pocket and ripping it 40 yards.

• 2:00:42Speaker 00

  Yeah, taking a step. So yeah, well, all right. So give me another quarterback that I think is not controversial, but people can look at it and see something different. Bo Nix. This is a big year. The Broncos are, I think the Broncos are another team that's getting a little bit slept on where everyone's like, oh, well, they won last year. And you know, they, they won't be, you know, the Chiefs will be better and the Chargers will be better. I, that's a really good defense and Sean Payton's a hell of a coach and you add Jalen Waddle, like I, I think that's going to be a really good team again.

• 2:01:10Speaker 04

  You know what? People are a little skeptical because they won a lot of close games last year.

• 2:01:13Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:01:14Speaker 04

  When teams win a lot of close games, that, that scares you a little bit, but I, look, they're going to be really good on defense. I think offensively, you know, the interesting thing will be how long does Webb call the plays before Sean starts panicking and taking it back over again? You know, so I'm with you. I, I think they're going to be a good football team. I don't know if they're going to be a great football team, but they're going to be good one. They're going to be right there in the mix. Look, Chargers, Chiefs and Broncos in that division are all going to be really good.

• 2:01:41Speaker 02

  Who, um, going back to what you said earlier about coaches being, who are your top five biggest poos in the NFL?

• 2:01:48Speaker 04

  Wow. In terms of coaching?

• 2:01:50Speaker 02

  Well, you said, you said, you said, coaches are, so.

• 2:01:52Speaker 04

  Well, I mean, when they call plays, they are. They, they, they, I, I think again, the mentality, don't turn it over. Do you know that how many times guys hear that in the quarterback room?

• 2:02:02Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:02:03Speaker 04

  And, and when you talk to quarterbacks about that, oh, well, you know, they preach it all the time. Don't turn it over. Don't turn it over. Don't turn it over. How many times do you think they put Josh Allen's plays up when Derma was there of him turning it over? Do, do you want to see that? I want to see him. Throwing a rifle shot down the field for 50 yards for a touchdown.

• 2:02:23Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 2:02:24Speaker 04

  So the whole mentality of don't turn it over, don't turn it over, don't turn it over has kind of bled in to the way they call their games.

• 2:02:31Speaker 00

  Yeah. I mean, listen, you're, you're, you're definitely on to something because I do think that like, when you look around the league, the offensive coordinators that are, that are making sure that they're like, hey, we need a certain amount of chunk plays every game. Those are the guys that are successful where it's like, we need to take these shot plays. We need to take, we need to, we need to get 20, 25 yard plays on the board, but you, you can't rely on digging and dunking and getting into long situations all the time.

• 2:02:56Speaker 04

  Because you're going to get frustrated, you're going to make a mistake and next thing you know, you drive it, you know, to eight plays and then you turn it over anyways, or, or you end up with a field goal because they're sitting back on, on third and eight and you get six, six yards and kick a field goal. Again, the mentality, it, it, and you know what everybody's doing too. They're, they're copying the Rams now. The Rams use a lot of, you know, 13 personnel, three tight ends and had success with it. So what is everybody going to do this year? They're going to start using that.

• 2:03:24Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:03:25Speaker 04

  And like I told some of those coaches, I said, if I'm the defensive coordinator, you're going to 13, you know what that makes you? Slower.

• 2:03:31Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 2:03:32Speaker 04

  That means your fast guys aren't on the field.

• 2:03:34Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:03:35Speaker 02

  That's true.

• 2:03:35Speaker 00

  The Rams do have good tight ends though, that are all interchangeable.

• 2:03:38Speaker 02

  They all look exactly the same.

• 2:03:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:03:40Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:03:40Speaker 00

  Um, all right. So Pete, give us your, uh, conference championship and Superbowl pick. Have you released it yet?

• 2:03:48Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:03:51Speaker 00

  All right. So yeah, this will be, we won't hold you to this. This actually, you get a free shot here. You get a mulligan because you can basically throw out a couple and, and we can, we could say, oh, he was pretty right. He was, he was spot on.

• 2:04:04Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:04:05Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 2:04:05Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:04:12Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:04:34Speaker 02

  Okay. What about, what about hot seats? Preseason hot seats?

• 2:04:36Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 2:04:39Speaker 04

  Well, anytime you, and I love the guy, but anytime you fire both your coordinators and have new coordinators in Washington, you, that means that's going to blame to somebody else. Well, this time it'll come back to him. So Dan Quinn's on the hot seat, I think.

• 2:04:53Speaker 02

  I agree. The, uh, the new defensive coordinator though, I think he might be the next generation of that, the exotic, like interesting coverages.

• 2:05:02Speaker 04

  He's good.

• 2:05:02Speaker 02

  Crazy blitzes.

• 2:05:03Speaker 04

  And they needed to change the way they did things. So I'm, I'm okay. But again, if they don't win and you play, you, you fire two coordinators, the, the finger point goes right at you. That's just natural. That's the way it is.

• 2:05:14Speaker 02

  I would agree with that. Yeah. So Dan Quinn.

• 2:05:16Speaker 04

  Todd Bowles, Todd Bowles for sure is on the hot seat. They got, they got to win the division and do something to playoffs. I, I don't think there's any doubt about that.

• 2:05:25Speaker 04

  Trying to think of other guys. Oh, Zach Taylor. We talked about that. They don't, if they don't get deep into the playoffs or even make the playoffs, then I think he's in trouble.

• 2:05:34Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:05:34Speaker 04

  Um.

• 2:05:36Speaker 00

  Shane Steichen?

• 2:05:38Speaker 04

  Yes. I think the whole organization, you realize that every team in that division has won it twice since the Colts last one.

• 2:05:44Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:05:45Speaker 04

  Think about.

• 2:05:45Speaker 00

  And Chris, Chris Ballard has had a job for life.

• 2:05:48Speaker 04

  Right. I mean, it, it's time. If, if they don't make the playoffs, then I think they're going to have, I think, and it's like, it's actually a pretty good coach, but I think it'll be reflective of him. And I think Chris Ballard knows he's in trouble if he doesn't win.

• 2:05:59Speaker 02

  Yeah. Um, over, under two and a half future career starts for J J McCarthy?

• 2:06:08Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 2:06:10Speaker 04

  He'll get over that somewhere. He'll get another chance to play somewhere.

• 2:06:13Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:06:13Speaker 04

  It ain't going to be in Minnesota, but he'll get a chance somewhere.

• 2:06:16Speaker 00

  Yeah. I, I, I was, uh, I feel like they're going to trade him. I mean, it's, it's, it's gotta be an awkward situation.

• 2:06:21Speaker 04

  Four quarterbacks. So something's happening.

• 2:06:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:06:24Speaker 04

  All these teams that kept four quarterbacks, something's happening with them. So look, I didn't, I wasn't a big J J McCarthy guy when he came out. I just wasn't. Uh, I didn't think he was good enough. And here's the other part of the equation. Everybody says Kevin O'Connell fixes everybody.

• 2:06:39Speaker 00

  I know.

• 2:06:40Speaker 04

  Well, how bad is J J McCarthy? Cause he ends fixed him.

• 2:06:42Speaker 00

  I know. I know. It's good. Yeah. It's a fair point.

• 2:06:45Speaker 02

  I feel, he, he like needs damaged goods. He needs somebody that comes into the league that's someone else, or somebody that comes to the Vikings, that someone else has screwed up and then he can fix that. I don't think that he can take.

• 2:06:57Speaker 04

  Drafting a guy, drafting a guy that comes out with, in the first round, he can't do anything with him. He needs somebody. So in other words, you think Kyler Murray's going to have a good year?

• 2:07:06Speaker 02

  I think he might. Yeah. I do. I do think that, that, uh, that K O C can do that type of stuff with, like, he's a creative guy. He'll figure out. Kyler does have some very unique physical gifts and skills that are still there. Um, it's about kind of like getting him to play free and getting him to, I guess, for lack of a better term, just like, look like he's having fun again, playing football. Um, and then I think.

• 2:07:27Speaker 04

  Can't be worse than what they had a quarterback last year. That's for sure.

• 2:07:30Speaker 02

  No. Yeah. So I, I think, I don't know, he might, he might just need to have a quarterback that's, uh, you know, like a, like a foster dog. You're a really good foster dog family. You'll, you'll pick them up, nurse them back to health, get them ready to go. And then, you know, they, they leave and then they go win the Superbowl somewhere else. That might be what he does.

• 2:07:47Speaker 04

  Like a pure, a pure breed. He, he can't do anything with it.

• 2:07:49Speaker 02

  He can't do a pure breed. Yeah.

• 2:07:51Speaker 00

  He's a mutt. He's a rescue mutt.

• 2:07:52Speaker 04

  He needs, he needs mutts.

• 2:07:54Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:07:54Speaker 04

  So Kyler Murray's a mutt.

• 2:07:57Speaker 02

  I just say that.

• 2:07:57Speaker 00

  Quarterback mutt. Yeah, he is. Uh, okay. A last question, roll back question, R H O B A C K dot com promo code, take 20% off your first purchase. Q Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, promo code, take, robak.com. Everyone go read, uh, Pete's article. When is it coming out about the passing?

• 2:08:15Speaker 04

  I think it's this, so I gotta do a bunch of videos for it too. So it'll probably be this week or next week.

• 2:08:19Speaker 00

  Okay. So do, do read it on CBS sports.com. Pete watches the tape. We know that for a fact. Uh, Zach, you got a question for Pete?

• 2:08:27Speaker 04

  How are they, Pete? I did have a quick question. If possible, could you give us your top three teams you think are going to just score all the points this season? All of the points, leave none of them out there.

• 2:08:37Speaker 04

  Whatever that means. What do you mean?

• 2:08:39Speaker 00

  No.

• 2:08:39Speaker 02

  All the points.

• 2:08:39Speaker 04

  Just like, like, uh, over teams, like teams that are just going to ball in end zone rapidly, efficiently and often.

• 2:08:46Speaker 00

  This is Florida guy to Florida guy. Florida, you'd never met Zach. Zach's a Florida guy.

• 2:08:50Speaker 04

  Well, I haven't met Zach. Your last producer used to, I used to know him way back in the day. Well, the Simon kid. Um, um, let's see. Dallas is going to score a ton of points.

• 2:09:01Speaker 02

  Wait, wait.

• 2:09:02Speaker 04

  What?

• 2:09:03Speaker 02

  Trying to think who Simon is.

• 2:09:04Speaker 04

  Jake.

• 2:09:05Speaker 00

  No, Jake Marsh.

• 2:09:06Speaker 02

  Yeah, Jake, yeah, Jake, Jake.

• 2:09:08Speaker 04

  I knew the family.

• 2:09:09Speaker 00

  Perfect name for Jake.

• 2:09:12Speaker 04

  I knew the family has Simons. He's into Simon family.

• 2:09:14Speaker 02

  Okay. All right. There we go.

• 2:09:15Speaker 00

  But yeah, yeah. Zach's from, from, from Florida, Lakeland County.

• 2:09:19Speaker 04

  Where are you from? From, uh, uh, Polk County, Lakeland, Florida, central Florida, eight, six, three. Yes, sir. Okay. All right. So who's going to score a lot of points? Cowboys are going to score a ton of points. I think the Bills are going to score a ton of points and I think the Bengals are going to score a ton of points.

• 2:09:34Speaker 00

  Where would the Bears be on that list? Five?

• 2:09:37Speaker 04

  Well, how bad is their defense? Cause if the defense is that bad, they're going to have to score a ton of points.

• 2:09:41Speaker 00

  I, I, I'm, I'm not, I'm not excited about this defense.

• 2:09:45Speaker 04

  No. And, and by the way, the Packers are going to score a lot of points too. They're going to have to.

• 2:09:49Speaker 00

  You love the Packers. You fucking love the Packers, man.

• 2:09:52Speaker 04

  Would you take Jordan Love over Caleb Williams?

• 2:09:54Speaker 00

  No, hell no.

• 2:09:56Speaker 04

  Oh, I would.

• 2:09:57Speaker 00

  Jordan Love's 38 years old, dude.

• 2:09:59Speaker 04

  No, he's not.

• 2:10:00Speaker 00

  Yeah, he is.

• 2:10:02Speaker 04

  No, he's not.

• 2:10:03Speaker 02

  Pete, I know that you also like to take a peek at the, uh, the season win total over unders. Is there anything that you've zeroed in on? What's your favorite one?

• 2:10:11Speaker 04

  If I had to, I, who's, the Texans, what's their number?

• 2:10:15Speaker 02

  Let's see.

• 2:10:15Speaker 00

  I, I, I gave out on, uh, was it Wednesday show, maybe Monday show, Falcons under seven and a half. And I like Stefanski a lot. He's a friend of ours. I think he's a very good coach.

• 2:10:25Speaker 04

  I like Kevin a lot too.

• 2:10:26Speaker 00

  I just think they've, they, he's got, he's, this is a year where like, what, what's he supposed to do with these quarterbacks?

• 2:10:31Speaker 02

  Nine and a half.

• 2:10:32Speaker 04

  And you, what's Texans nine and a half?

• 2:10:35Speaker 02

  Nine and a half. Yep.

• 2:10:36Speaker 04

  Their schedule's brutal too. I'll, I'll take that under. I'll like that.

• 2:10:39Speaker 00

  Okay. Wow. You've talked me off the Texans.

• 2:10:41Speaker 04

  Cowboys over. Cowboys over.

• 2:10:44Speaker 00

  Cowboys over.

• 2:10:45Speaker 02

  What about, um, Dolphins under 3.5 wins, three and a half wins? That seems very low.

• 2:10:53Speaker 04

  That's not a good football team though. I'm telling you. And, and by the way, I like where they're heading. I thought they had a good draft. I think they have a good, a lot of good young players. They need to get a quarterback for the long term, but they're not a good team right now. And, and so I, that's like three and a half.

• 2:11:09Speaker 02

  Three and a half.

• 2:11:10Speaker 04

  You can almost, you can almost, don't they play the Raiders opening week? I mean, you can almost fall into one there.

• 2:11:15Speaker 02

  Yeah. I mean, that's what we were looking at the Cardinals too, for the same reason, just like that, just, just take three and a half, hold your nose and then, and then hold on for dear life.

• 2:11:23Speaker 00

  Yeah. Maybe get a lucky one in week 18, when, when like, you know, someone's sitting everyone.

• 2:11:29Speaker 04

  I mean, it's hard not to win four games. You gotta be really bad.

• 2:11:33Speaker 00

  Hmm.

• 2:11:34Speaker 04

  You gotta be really, really bad.

• 2:11:35Speaker 00

  The Dolphins' schedule is not easy though. They have the, the Raiders, week one, but then they go 49ers, Chiefs, Vikings, Bengals.

• 2:11:44Speaker 04

  Okay. Keep going. You're going to get one more.

• 2:11:47Speaker 00

  All right. Jets.

• 2:11:48Speaker 04

  The Jets.

• 2:11:48Speaker 00

  Jets, Patriots, Lions, Colts, Bills, Jets, Broncos, Bears, uh, Packers, Rams, Bills. That's the problem is Patriots. So if you don't get the, the last.

• 2:12:03Speaker 04

  You don't get the Jets twice, you're not.

• 2:12:05Speaker 00

  Yeah. The, they end their last six games are the Broncos, the Bears, the Packers, the, the Chargers, uh, the Bills and the Patriots.

• 2:12:14Speaker 04

  Yeah. They're not, they're not getting to three and a half. They're not getting over to three and a half.

• 2:12:18Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:12:18Speaker 04

  They'll be tanking by the end anyways, trying to get the better quarterback.

• 2:12:21Speaker 00

  Yeah. Hmm. Yeah. Uh, all right, Pete, you're the best. We love having you on. Can't believe football's back. We love it.

• 2:12:28Speaker 04

  Quit eating meat. Your stomach's going to.

• 2:12:29Speaker 02

  brought away.

  Congrats, PFT.

• 2:14:57Speaker 02

  Thank you, I appreciate it.

• 2:14:58Speaker 00

  He is safe. It is now down to two.

• 2:15:01Speaker 02

  Dominant. I don't want to toot my own horn, but I mean, just dominant performance in the final three.

• 2:15:07Speaker 00

  Dominant.

• 2:15:08Speaker 02

  Right? Just crushed you guys.

• 2:15:10Speaker 03

  It was a good performance. It was. He did good. He done good, kid.

• 2:15:13Speaker 02

  In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is king.

• 2:15:15Speaker 00

  Dominant.

• 2:15:16Speaker 02

  That's what they say.

• 2:15:17Speaker 03

  You were some of us.

• 2:15:18Speaker 02

  Dominant. That's correct. That doesn't, I'm calling you blind.

• 2:15:23Speaker 02

  Good luck though.

• 2:15:24Speaker 03

  Thanks.

• 2:15:24Speaker 02

  Root for you, Hank.

• 2:15:26Speaker 00

  So here's what we have. We have Hank versus Zach. Zach is two points behind right now. If Zach doesn't win both today's Mount Rushmore and Wednesday's Mount Rushmore, Mount Rushmore season will be over. If Zach wins both, we will have a duel on Friday, which will be as, as is tradition. Uh, spur of the moment topics that we'll have will spring on them. Um, now, I'm rooting for a duel.

• 2:15:55Speaker 02

  Of course.

• 2:15:55Speaker 00

  Remember last year we got into problems for saying that, so.

• 2:15:59Speaker 03

  I don't.

• 2:16:00Speaker 02

  No, I.

• 2:16:01Speaker 00

  Let it fall, however it falls.

• 2:16:02Speaker 02

  I'm only thinking of the show.

• 2:16:04Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:16:04Speaker 02

  And of the listeners. And I think the listeners.

• 2:16:06Speaker 00

  Which you always do, Hank.

• 2:16:07Speaker 02

  The listeners love duels and I think that they would love to see a duel.

• 2:16:10Speaker 03

  That's pretty much all I ever think about.

• 2:16:12Speaker 00

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

• 2:16:16Speaker 03

  I, I, I'm, listen, I'm not, I'm, I'm, I, a duel would be good for the show, but I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a competitor. I'm gonna try to win.

• 2:16:24Speaker 00

  You're gonna try to win. All right, heavy things. Who is up first?

• 2:16:27Speaker 02

  I think Zach is.

• 2:16:29Speaker 00

  Is Zach up first?

• 2:16:29Speaker 03

  I have no idea.

• 2:16:30Speaker 00

  Who went first?

• 2:16:31Speaker 04

  I believe I took third in states, so.

• 2:16:35Speaker 00

  Okay, so then you would be first.

• 2:16:36Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 2:16:36Speaker 00

  So you'll go first today and then Hank will go first on Wednesday.

• 2:16:39Speaker 03

  Is it Snake?

• 2:16:41Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:16:41Speaker 02

  Hmm, good question. Yeah.

• 2:16:43Speaker 00

  Of course.

• 2:16:43Speaker 02

  One, two, two, two.

• 2:16:48Speaker 03

  One.

• 2:16:48Speaker 02

  One.

• 2:16:49Speaker 03

  All right.

• 2:16:50Speaker 00

  Zach, your first thing, Mount Rushmore of heavy things, very open-ended.

• 2:16:56Speaker 04

  Heavy things, 1-1. This was deciding between a few things, but I'm just gonna, I'm gonna be my first pick here and I'm gonna go with Max.

• 2:17:10Speaker 02

  What do you think, Hank?

• 2:17:12Speaker 03

  I didn't have it on my board.

• 2:17:14Speaker 00

  So he could have, he could have gotten it in the fourth round.

• 2:17:19Speaker 03

  Uh.

• 2:17:20Speaker 00

  He could have gotten it in the fourth round.

• 2:17:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, you could have got that at any round. I'm gonna go, uh.

• 2:17:27Speaker 00

  Are you saying, that's a good friend move. You're saying Max isn't heavy.

• 2:17:30Speaker 03

  No, he's, he's, he's on the, he's on, I, I honestly forget, like, who, who is Max? Max, Max who?

• 2:17:36Speaker 00

  I'm gonna say that.

• 2:17:37Speaker 03

  Max Homa? He's not fat. He's lean as could be.

• 2:17:40Speaker 00

  I'm happy that Max is, uh, enjoying his sex vacation. Two weeks is great. I came back today in the office. I was like, expecting to see him. I was like, oh yeah, two weeks. He, he's probably like, this is, I'm gone for too long.

• 2:17:53Speaker 02

  He's gonna come, I hope he comes back with an Italian accent.

• 2:17:55Speaker 00

  He probably will. His gifts better be awesome.

• 2:17:58Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:17:58Speaker 00

  Awesome.

• 2:17:59Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:17:59Speaker 00

  We miss him. Also heavy.

• 2:18:02Speaker 03

  Uh, I'm gonna go with titties.

• 2:18:05Speaker 00

  Oh, good one. This is a, we, two picks in, we're.

• 2:18:12Speaker 00

  Now, heavy titties could.

• 2:18:13Speaker 02

  I, I don't, I don't think they're that heavy, Hank.

• 2:18:16Speaker 03

  Big heavies?

• 2:18:17Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:18:18Speaker 03

  Who doesn't like big heavies?

• 2:18:19Speaker 04

  I, you get all tits ever?

• 2:18:20Speaker 00

  I like heavies. Well, no, not the small ones. He gets the big ones.

• 2:18:23Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 2:18:24Speaker 00

  Which.

• 2:18:25Speaker 03

  Those are the, those are the good ones.

• 2:18:27Speaker 00

  Kind of cornered the best ones.

• 2:18:29Speaker 03

  Like.

• 2:18:30Speaker 00

  He went into, he, he just went into the trail mix of titties and took out all the M and M's.

• 2:18:34Speaker 03

  The ones that could crush an empty can.

• 2:18:36Speaker 00

  Correct.

• 2:18:36Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 2:18:36Speaker 00

  Yeah, watermelon.

• 2:18:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:18:38Speaker 00

  Yeah, bury your face. You could suffocate. You could drown in them.

• 2:18:41Speaker 03

  Yeah. Uh, and then I'll go gold.

• 2:18:45Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 2:18:47Speaker 00

  Oh, okay. Not even close to the heaviest, uh, thing.

• 2:18:51Speaker 03

  But.

• 2:18:52Speaker 00

  Like in terms of the, what, what's the?

• 2:18:54Speaker 03

  No, it, it's up there.

• 2:18:55Speaker 00

  The mineral chart, no.

• 2:18:56Speaker 02

  Periodic.

• 2:18:57Speaker 00

  Periodic table.

• 2:18:58Speaker 03

  It's up there.

• 2:18:58Speaker 02

  Did you mean to pick tungsten?

• 2:19:00Speaker 00

  Yeah, I think you meant to pick tungsten.

• 2:19:01Speaker 03

  Tungsten and gold are similar.

• 2:19:03Speaker 00

  Hmm, tungsten is way heavier.

• 2:19:05Speaker 03

  Look it up.

• 2:19:06Speaker 02

  How are they similar?

• 2:19:07Speaker 03

  Similar, similar densities.

• 2:19:09Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 2:19:10Speaker 00

  I don't think so.

• 2:19:11Speaker 03

  It is. I, I.

• 2:19:12Speaker 02

  I get, I've never seen like a big ass thick cube of gold before, so I wouldn't know how much it weighs.

• 2:19:18Speaker 03

  Yeah, cause you're broke.

• 2:19:20Speaker 02

  What is that? What does that mean, Hank? You're just lashing out.

• 2:19:22Speaker 03

  You don't got gold like that.

• 2:19:23Speaker 00

  Well, I'll be damned.

• 2:19:26Speaker 00

  They have almost identical densities.

• 2:19:27Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 2:19:28Speaker 03

  Suck it. Gold's a little, a little more valuable too.

• 2:19:32Speaker 03

  So I'll, you can have your little cube of tungsten. I'll take a cube of gold. What do you mean you've never seen a, a bar of gold is like the?

• 2:19:38Speaker 00

  I've never held it.

• 2:19:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, I've held, I've held.

• 2:19:40Speaker 03

  Yeah, again, like, get your money out.

• 2:19:42Speaker 00

  You've held a bar of gold?

• 2:19:43Speaker 03

  Yeah, several.

• 2:19:44Speaker 00

  When?

• 2:19:45Speaker 03

  I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna.

• 2:19:47Speaker 02

  You've never, you've never held a bar of gold.

• 2:19:48Speaker 03

  Dox myself, but.

• 2:19:49Speaker 02

  You're, you're, you're, you're, you're no different than this guy on the 49ers.

• 2:19:53Speaker 00

  And we're not talking about Spider's Pokemon collection.

• 2:19:58Speaker 03

  No, no, not, not the Hershey bars.

• 2:20:00Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:20:01Speaker 03

  Gold.

• 2:20:02Speaker 00

  You know this about Spider?

• 2:20:04Speaker 02

  I know that he's got, he's.

• 2:20:05Speaker 00

  He's collecting gold, but it's all, it's not like.

• 2:20:07Speaker 03

  Literally like the, the, the.

• 2:20:09Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's not, it's not gold.

• 2:20:10Speaker 03

  Hershey bar sized.

• 2:20:12Speaker 00

  It's branded gold.

• 2:20:13Speaker 02

  What he's saying is that, uh, the future, like what if, what if you could buy gold, but also it was collectible?

• 2:20:18Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:20:19Speaker 02

  Like what if, what if they took gold and turned it?

• 2:20:21Speaker 03

  How do we make this gold valuable?

• 2:20:23Speaker 02

  How do we, yeah, how do we turn it into a trading card?

• 2:20:25Speaker 00

  I wouldn't doubt Spider in this one.

• 2:20:26Speaker 02

  I got a rookie Pikachu gold bar.

• 2:20:29Speaker 00

  Spider's one of those guys, it's like, he's on the edge of it. He's always on the edge.

• 2:20:32Speaker 02

  Maybe a little too far on the edge, something.

• 2:20:34Speaker 00

  No, that's what they say.

• 2:20:36Speaker 02

  I said sometimes, and you need guys that'll go a little bit too far sometimes.

• 2:20:39Speaker 03

  BFT.

• 2:20:41Speaker 02

  What does that mean?

• 2:20:41Speaker 03

  Broke.

• 2:20:42Speaker 00

  Bro.

• 2:20:43Speaker 02

  This is, this is a wild line of accusation here, Hank.

• 2:20:46Speaker 00

  Damn.

• 2:20:48Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:20:51Speaker 04

  I would like to take Sydney Sweeney's rack.

• 2:20:54Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 2:20:56Speaker 02

  Okay, specific.

• 2:20:56Speaker 00

  That's very specific, but very heavy.

• 2:20:59Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 2:21:02Speaker 03

  Zach's scared. That's, I'm, I'm not even, that's fine.

• 2:21:05Speaker 02

  So Hank took all boobs and you took some boobs.

• 2:21:10Speaker 03

  You took two. I have hundreds of thousands.

• 2:21:13Speaker 00

  Do you have Sydney Sweeney's rack?

• 2:21:15Speaker 03

  I have titties. Does she have titties?

• 2:21:17Speaker 00

  Yeah. Okay.

• 2:21:20Speaker 04

  You know, titties slang could be a couple of different things, but.

• 2:21:23Speaker 03

  What else?

• 2:21:24Speaker 02

  Yeah, exactly.

• 2:21:25Speaker 00

  You'd take Max's titties next?

• 2:21:28Speaker 04

  Next pick, I would like to take death.

• 2:21:30Speaker 00

  That's a good one. I had it on my, I did a list and that was.

• 2:21:33Speaker 03

  You like that?

• 2:21:35Speaker 00

  No, it's as heavy as you can get. It's as heavy as heavy can get.

• 2:21:38Speaker 02

  It's a good pick.

• 2:21:38Speaker 00

  Thinking about death, talking about death, that's heavy. It's a heavy thing.

• 2:21:44Speaker 03

  But Mount Rushmore are like the best. Yeah, I guess I, I, I see it.

• 2:21:48Speaker 02

  Most iconic, yeah.

• 2:21:50Speaker 00

  I actually, I have a list of two things. One of them was death. Cause that is.

• 2:21:54Speaker 03

  What was the other one?

• 2:21:55Speaker 00

  Uh, the fish song, heavy things.

• 2:21:56Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 2:21:59Speaker 00

  Not, I'm not, I don't really like that song, but it is the name of the song.

• 2:22:04Speaker 03

  Uh, all right. I got two. I'm gonna go with elephants.

• 2:22:07Speaker 02

  Yep, I had that on my list.

• 2:22:09Speaker 00

  Good one.

• 2:22:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, elephants is a good pick.

• 2:22:11Speaker 00

  I was gonna say something there, but I did not.

• 2:22:16Speaker 00

  Zach already took Max.

• 2:22:18Speaker 03

  That's good.

• 2:22:21Speaker 03

  Uh, and then I'll go with the head that wears the crown.

• 2:22:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:22:24Speaker 00

  Oh, good one.

• 2:22:25Speaker 03

  That means you're a king.

• 2:22:27Speaker 00

  Good one, Hank.

• 2:22:28Speaker 04

  It's a good pick, Hank.

• 2:22:29Speaker 02

  How would you know, Hank?

• 2:22:30Speaker 03

  What do you mean?

• 2:22:31Speaker 02

  Have you ever worn a crown?

• 2:22:33Speaker 03

  No, but that's what the expression is.

• 2:22:34Speaker 00

  Well, we do every day when we go on the DraftKings app.

• 2:22:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:22:37Speaker 00

  Crown is yours.

• 2:22:38Speaker 03

  True.

• 2:22:39Speaker 02

  Was mine?

• 2:22:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:22:40Speaker 03

  But when I go, it's mine.

• 2:22:41Speaker 02

  Tells you that too?

• 2:22:42Speaker 00

  When I go, it's, yeah. Crown is mine.

• 2:22:43Speaker 02

  That's fucked up.

• 2:22:45Speaker 00

  All right, Zach, you gotta get this one.

• 2:22:49Speaker 04

  Uh, with four, I'm gonna take the Empire State Building.

• 2:22:52Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:22:53Speaker 02

  Good pick, Hank. Good pick, Max. I mean, Zach.

• 2:22:59Speaker 02

  The Empire State Building, okay.

• 2:23:00Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:23:02Speaker 02

  Um, why'd you decide on that building as opposed to other larger buildings?

• 2:23:07Speaker 03

  Have you been to the Empire State Building?

• 2:23:08Speaker 04

  It just looks heavy.

• 2:23:09Speaker 03

  Have you been there?

• 2:23:10Speaker 04

  A lot of these big buildings, you know, they got slim waist, tall up top. The Empire State Building feels thick all the way through.

• 2:23:15Speaker 02

  Okay, I might wanna look that up and just see if it is heavier than others.

• 2:23:20Speaker 04

  You know what they say, weight's up to interpretation.

• 2:23:23Speaker 02

  They do say that.

• 2:23:23Speaker 04

  The heaviest of the eyes ganders on all buildings.

• 2:23:26Speaker 00

  All right, what do we have left off? I'll just rattle off some things.

• 2:23:29Speaker 03

  I only, the only one I had left was Anvil.

• 2:23:31Speaker 00

  Anvil.

• 2:23:32Speaker 02

  Anvil's a good pick.

• 2:23:33Speaker 00

  Aircraft carrier, that's gotta be so fucking heavy. Um, Yokozuma.

• 2:23:39Speaker 02

  Hank, are aircraft carriers, are they heavy?

• 2:23:41Speaker 03

  No, they float, so they can't be that heavy.

• 2:23:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, you don't know shit about water displacement, dude, you're a moron. They're very heavy.

• 2:23:47Speaker 03

  Why don't they sink?

• 2:23:49Speaker 02

  Because of water displacement.

• 2:23:52Speaker 03

  Anvil sinks, but the stuff on my list sinks, so that means it's better than your little aircraft carrier.

• 2:23:57Speaker 02

  I didn't take aircraft carrier.

• 2:23:58Speaker 00

  Yeah. Puna Ford?

• 2:24:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:24:00Speaker 00

  Heavy.

• 2:24:01Speaker 02

  Very heavy.

• 2:24:02Speaker 00

  Heavy as fuck.

• 2:24:04Speaker 02

  Interstellar Man?

• 2:24:05Speaker 00

  Yep. That's good. Prince Fielder?

• 2:24:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:24:10Speaker 00

  Go ahead.

• 2:24:11Speaker 03

  Anything that you have to carry upstairs.

• 2:24:13Speaker 00

  Couch.

• 2:24:14Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:24:15Speaker 00

  When moving.

• 2:24:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:24:16Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:24:16Speaker 03

  Or a dresser.

• 2:24:18Speaker 00

  Oh, dresser's actually, yeah, sneaky worse, cuz then the, the, the things are moving out and everything.

• 2:24:23Speaker 05

  Thor's hammer?

• 2:24:24Speaker 00

  Thor's hammer, yeah.

• 2:24:27Speaker 03

  What'd Max do? Do a Max impression. What'd Max say?

• 2:24:31Speaker 05

  Meatballs?

• 2:24:33Speaker 00

  That's good.

• 2:24:34Speaker 02

  You probably would see meatballs.

• 2:24:35Speaker 00

  Yeah. Um.

• 2:24:36Speaker 02

  What about, uh?

• 2:24:37Speaker 00

  What about Black Hole? I feel like that's as heavy as heavy could get, right?

• 2:24:41Speaker 02

  It's got everything.

• 2:24:41Speaker 03

  There's no weight in space.

• 2:24:43Speaker 02

  No, it's got everything in a black hole.

• 2:24:45Speaker 04

  Zero G though, right?

• 2:24:46Speaker 02

  No, I think a black hole is all the G.

• 2:24:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's everything.

• 2:24:49Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 2:24:49Speaker 02

  Black Hole just sucks everything up.

• 2:24:50Speaker 00

  Sucks everything in.

• 2:24:51Speaker 02

  It's like Nancy Reagan.

• 2:24:52Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:24:55Speaker 00

  Nancy Pelosi.

• 2:24:57Speaker 03

  I got her.

• 2:24:57Speaker 00

  Heavies, you got it. Good pick, good pick.

• 2:25:00Speaker 02

  Nice pick, Hank.

• 2:25:01Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:25:02Speaker 02

  Uh.

• 2:25:04Speaker 02

  The sun?

• 2:25:05Speaker 03

  Wet snow?

• 2:25:06Speaker 02

  Yeah, wet snow, when you're shoveling it.

• 2:25:09Speaker 00

  Oh, that's a good one.

• 2:25:10Speaker 02

  Very, very heavy.

• 2:25:12Speaker 00

  That's a really good one.

• 2:25:14Speaker 03

  I think it's over.

• 2:25:15Speaker 00

  Thanksgiving dinner?

• 2:25:16Speaker 04

  Eighteen wheeler?

• 2:25:18Speaker 00

  Eighteen wheeler's heavy, for sure. Burgers aren't that heavy.

• 2:25:22Speaker 02

  Meatloaf.

• 2:25:22Speaker 00

  Meatloaf is heavy.

• 2:25:23Speaker 02

  Meatloaf is heavy. A tank?

• 2:25:25Speaker 00

  Tanks very heavy.

• 2:25:26Speaker 02

  Tanks are super heavy.

• 2:25:27Speaker 00

  Tank, very, very heavy. Yeah, that is.

• 2:25:31Speaker 04

  The ocean?

• 2:25:33Speaker 00

  I would say, yeah, probably.

• 2:25:35Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, good point.

• 2:25:37Speaker 00

  Yeah, the ocean's definitely heavy, right?

• 2:25:40Speaker 02

  It, no, it floats, so it can't be heavy.

• 2:25:44Speaker 03

  You could, I could cup the ocean and hold it in my hand.

• 2:25:46Speaker 00

  Me when I'm walking around my house late at night, I get accused of that a lot.

• 2:25:51Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:25:51Speaker 00

  Heavy footsteps. Wake up the whole house. Just walking.

• 2:25:56Speaker 02

  Gravy. Biscuits and gravy.

• 2:25:59Speaker 00

  Biscuits and gravy.

• 2:26:00Speaker 02

  That's a super heavy way to start your day, but it's so good.

• 2:26:03Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:26:05Speaker 00

  What else? Anything else?

• 2:26:07Speaker 03

  I had a short list.

• 2:26:08Speaker 00

  Zach, you have anything else?

• 2:26:09Speaker 04

  Concrete's pretty heavy.

• 2:26:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, why?

• 2:26:11Speaker 04

  Bowling ball's pretty heavy.

• 2:26:12Speaker 00

  Oh, bowling ball's a good one.

• 2:26:14Speaker 04

  Uh, yeah, a lot of heavy stuff out there.

• 2:26:18Speaker 00

  Bench press? For some, can be heavy.

• 2:26:23Speaker 04

  Definitely.

• 2:26:23Speaker 02

  The amount of weight that we're going to be bench pressing in a month during football season, we're in shape?

• 2:26:28Speaker 00

  Very, very heavy.

• 2:26:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, super.

• 2:26:33Speaker 02

  The Empire State Building, uh, weighs approximately 730 million pounds.

• 2:26:38Speaker 00

  Max might help him.

• 2:26:39Speaker 03

  I think Teddy's got him rattled.

• 2:26:41Speaker 00

  Sidney's.

• 2:26:42Speaker 03

  Sidney, that had to have been a panic pick.

• 2:26:44Speaker 02

  Uh, was that a panic pick?

• 2:26:46Speaker 04

  Oh, I just think it's, I think it's a heavy rack.

• 2:26:49Speaker 00

  Death was a good pick. That is a very heavy thing.

• 2:26:52Speaker 03

  Yeah. Took me a second to think about it, though.

• 2:26:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:26:57Speaker 02

  That's cause you're dumb.

• 2:26:57Speaker 00

  For you.

• 2:26:58Speaker 02

  Like, most, most people, I think, got that pretty quick.

• 2:27:01Speaker 00

  Instantly.

• 2:27:02Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:27:03Speaker 00

  Talk about death, it's heavy.

• 2:27:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:27:05Speaker 03

  True.

• 2:27:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 2:27:08Speaker 00

  Okay, well, we'll see. Hopefully, uh, you guys will be going head to head on Wednesday. If not, we'll do, we'll, we'll finish out Mount Rushmore season. We'll think of something fun. We'll do a Mount Rushmore either way, maybe like a postseason Mount Rushmore.

• 2:27:20Speaker 03

  Water.

• 2:27:21Speaker 00

  I'm hoping. Water's heavy.

• 2:27:24Speaker 03

  No, I'm saying we should do Mount Rushmore water.

• 2:27:26Speaker 00

  But water is heavy.

• 2:27:28Speaker 02

  We've already done that.

• 2:27:28Speaker 00

  Yeah, we did do that.

• 2:27:30Speaker 02

  It got contentious, yes.

• 2:27:31Speaker 00

  I think next year, Mount Rushmore season, we should just be like, you know what, repeats, whatever. Cuz it'd actually be interesting if we, if we did no Google and repeats, see if any of our picks change.

• 2:27:42Speaker 03

  And no notes app.

• 2:27:43Speaker 00

  Yeah, oh.

• 2:27:44Speaker 02

  Or just remember it?

• 2:27:45Speaker 03

  Well, like, I could just go on my notes app.

• 2:27:50Speaker 00

  And find?

• 2:27:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:27:51Speaker 00

  You have all your?

• 2:27:53Speaker 02

  I don't, I definitely. Yeah, I don't either.

• 2:27:54Speaker 00

  I definitely don't.

• 2:27:55Speaker 03

  Where do you put your Mount Rushmore's?

• 2:27:57Speaker 02

  I delete them, yeah.

• 2:27:58Speaker 03

  You delete things from your notes app?

• 2:28:00Speaker 02

  I don't know. After I write them down, I delete them.

• 2:28:02Speaker 00

  All right, no notes.

• 2:28:02Speaker 04

  What? What kinda storage you working with?

• 2:28:05Speaker 00

  That's crazy.

• 2:28:05Speaker 04

  That's impressive.

• 2:28:06Speaker 00

  Ten years of Mount Rushmore?

• 2:28:09Speaker 03

  Not ten, but a good amount.

• 2:28:11Speaker 02

  You should write a book.

• 2:28:13Speaker 00

  Do you have pizza in there?

• 2:28:15Speaker 03

  Probably.

• 2:28:16Speaker 00

  Oh, no, you had Liam do that one. But he sent it to you.

• 2:28:20Speaker 03

  I have it.

• 2:28:21Speaker 00

  You gotta give it to us.

• 2:28:22Speaker 03

  Pepperoni, sausage, barbecue chicken, bacon, buff chicken.

• 2:28:24Speaker 00

  You got them all.

• 2:28:25Speaker 03

  Prosciutto, mutts, peppers, ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes, hamburger, meatball.

• 2:28:30Speaker 02

  Wow. You got your top four in that draft.

• 2:28:33Speaker 00

  Damn. Blue things.

• 2:28:34Speaker 02

  Look up your Mount Rushmore water.

• 2:28:37Speaker 00

  Blue things. He's our Mount Rushmore historian.

• 2:28:44Speaker 03

  Um, I think that one I did, I was joking, we did that like, we've done that three times.

• 2:28:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, blue things.

• 2:28:50Speaker 03

  Blue things.

• 2:28:58Speaker 00

  No. You don't have it.

• 2:29:01Speaker 03

  Royal blue, no.

• 2:29:03Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:29:03Speaker 03

  That's Mount Rushmore colors.

• 2:29:05Speaker 00

  All right, good show, boys. College football mega preview coming Wednesday. Football's back. Numbers?

  Eight. Fifty-five.

• 2:29:16Speaker 02

  Eighty.

• 2:29:19Speaker 05

  Eighty-six.

• 2:29:29Speaker 00

  Memes, I saw a guy at Saratoga who was, pulled out his phone. It was like, hey, can you, I'm FaceTiming with my buddy who's never gotten the lottery ball, can you tell him he's an idiot? And I was just like, don't feel so bad, dude, you're just basically memes.

• 2:29:43Speaker 04

  I have gotten it, though.

• 2:29:45Speaker 00

  Not on this machine.

• 2:29:47Speaker 04

  Well, I have.

• 2:29:48Speaker 00

  No, you haven't.

• 2:29:49Speaker 04

  I have.

• 2:29:50Speaker 00

  No, you haven't.

• 2:29:50Speaker 04

  It was number ten, it was number ten.
