Speaker 48 Big Cedar.

Speaker 47 Big Cedar. Big Cedar.

Speaker 1 beautiful.

Speaker 48 Internet Invitational.

Speaker 49 It's been a great week.

Speaker 50 Probably haven't watched a lot of sports, but we're here to talk some national sports.

Speaker 18 National Sports Podcast. I do like this part of the country a lot.
It's fun. It's crazy.
So, yeah, it's a beautiful golf resort. If anybody ever makes it down here, we've had a great time.
Incredible.

Speaker 18 Bonding as a unit.

Speaker 30 Big time bonding.

Speaker 14 Shane and I spent

Speaker 52 solo, solo dolo, the two of us.

Speaker 2 I don't know, 15 hours together, just fucking great time.

Speaker 48 That's huge.

Speaker 23 It was,

Speaker 54 we just did it together, the two of us.

Speaker 18 Yeah, all the boys got in the pool last night. Yep.
Well, first we all got into bed together.

Speaker 55 The mega bed. Yeah.

Speaker 56 Which shout out, Zach, highlight of the entire trip.

Speaker 57 So we're staying in this cabin at Big Cedar.

Speaker 19 Shout out to the people at Big Cedar. It's been an incredible week.

Speaker 45 So we're staying at this cabin.

Speaker 22 There are four rooms.

Speaker 44 Each room has two beds.

Speaker 58 So there's seven of us.

Speaker 44 PFT is in the internet invitational.

Speaker 25 So we're like, he needs to get his own room.

Speaker 19 We split it up.

Speaker 57 Max and Hank together, Shane and memes, me and Zach.

Speaker 47 First day we're here.

Speaker 15 What was the exact thing I said?

Speaker 59 So we were talking back and forth about the room set up. And then you said, should we?

Speaker 59 And there was a pause.

Speaker 59 And then I did just go straight to Megabed.

Speaker 18 You just like, should we?

Speaker 60 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 61 I was like, should we?

Speaker 55 Megabed?

Speaker 6 Which Mega Bed, for people who don't know, it's pushing the two queen beds together.

Speaker 1 I initially scoffed at it because it was a long day of travel.

Speaker 25 I was tired.

Speaker 23 It was late.

Speaker 6 But then the next day I was like, you know what, Zach?

Speaker 64 We got a mega bed. You were right.
We mega bedded.

Speaker 18 Is that a California king? Is that what that is?

Speaker 44 Dude, it was bigger than that.

Speaker 59 I think it might be bigger than that.

Speaker 65 It was

Speaker 49 together.

Speaker 2 We got all six of us in the bed. Mega bed.

Speaker 55 Yeah. I mean, mega bed changed my life.

Speaker 59 That bed might not even be commercial size. That would have to be a cut, might have to be a custom-made situation.
They'd have to crane it in.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 18 That's how big the bed. That's Alaskan King.
Yeah.

Speaker 59 Yeah. I think that could be correct.

Speaker 67 I think it might be. Russian King.

Speaker 68 I got a question for you.

Speaker 64 Have you mega bedded

Speaker 59 Not in recent history and definitely not in past history?

Speaker 59 Maybe

Speaker 59 if I did, it was once before, long ago. I don't believe so.
I could have been a first-time mega bedder.

Speaker 64 So what made you think of mega bed?

Speaker 29 Because mega bed wasn't even in my lexicon

Speaker 37 until Tuesday.

Speaker 59 So much more room for activity.

Speaker 71 Yeah, it was.

Speaker 18 I feel like if you get put into a double room with two beds in it, the thought occurs to you, like, what if this was bigger?

Speaker 59 Yeah. And it was so mega.

Speaker 72 It was awesome being in the

Speaker 73 bed.

Speaker 29 Yeah. And Zach and I slept like that.

Speaker 18 I had an idea to just make a room that was just an entire bed, the entire room. Yeah.
That's it. Just a giant room where you can't go anywhere without laying down.

Speaker 75 That's like my idea for a closet, but it's not a closet.

Speaker 29 It's just an entire room with countertops.

Speaker 26 And you just put your clothes out on the countertop.

Speaker 18 That's nice, too.

Speaker 40 Because you can just walk around and see all your clothes.

Speaker 6 You don't have to hang anything. Hangers suck.

Speaker 20 Fucking hate them.

Speaker 40 Drawers suck.

Speaker 20 Fucking hate them.

Speaker 20 Just let me throw my shirt on a countertop and then you walk in and it's basically like, you're basically like you're walking in a like a fancy boutique store, but it's just all your clothes just thrown about and you can see them all.

Speaker 18 Just countertop.

Speaker 18 Great room to do coconut too.

Speaker 61 Yeah.

Speaker 64 Very, very good room.

Speaker 29 Do you want to hear what the name of it is?

Speaker 18 The levels room. No.

Speaker 79 The big shelf.

Speaker 18 Oh, that's good too. Yeah.

Speaker 26 That's all it is.

Speaker 80 Shelf. Big shelf.

Speaker 64 Huge shelf. Either way, mega bed changed my life.

Speaker 59 I agree. Yeah.
Big shelf. Imagine going mega bed with Big Shelf.

Speaker 18 I don't think there's room for enough shelves.

Speaker 6 If you can't tell, there's not a lot of sports going on.

Speaker 62 Not a lot of sports.

Speaker 65 I got a couple of things.

Speaker 29 But I do want the last thing on Megabed.

Speaker 1 We saw, obviously, we had Taylor Swift on on Wednesday.

Speaker 28 The New Heights, Kelsey Brothers had Taylor Swift on.

Speaker 16 I feel like we, so it was 1-1 going into the night match, and Megabed won us that day.

Speaker 59 You think point Megabed?

Speaker 39 I mean, Megabed had, Megabed had one point, point, I know they had 1.2 million people watching.

Speaker 6 Megabed had like 1.2 million impressions on Twitter within 30 minutes.

Speaker 70 Good for a lot of spies on Megabed.

Speaker 18 Good for Megabed. That's crazy.
Yeah. Which really says the Kelsey brothers probably used to do Megabed all the time when they were kids.

Speaker 59 And now they don't.

Speaker 18 And now they've changed.

Speaker 61 Oh, I have my own house. Oh,

Speaker 29 I can't just tell Taylor Swift, the number one pop star in the world, to go into Megabed.

Speaker 46 No.

Speaker 85 They've changed.

Speaker 18 They also didn't ask Taylor Swift the hard-hidden questions that we asked Taylor Swift on our podcast.

Speaker 86 That's a fact.

Speaker 78 Yeah, that's a fact.

Speaker 18 You could tell the whole time she was just like, I wish I was on with Rosillo. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah. I miss Rascillo.

Speaker 27 I want to do life advice.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 70 Where's Kyle?

Speaker 40 I don't know. Shout out, nephew Kyle.

Speaker 20 He is the man.

Speaker 26 All right.

Speaker 19 So what do you got for sports stuff?

Speaker 18 Well, sir, a second Mike Vrabel has broken up a fight at training camp. I love this.
Yeah, so Vrabel broke up another fight, dove in. I don't think he got cut on the face this time.

Speaker 18 I think he probably, you should see the other guy this time. He probably dealt out the punishment, but I love that Vraves is doing this.

Speaker 11 Yeah, fighting in training camps good. It means everyone's fired up.

Speaker 18 Yeah, you think he's ready to hit somebody else's players?

Speaker 11 No, I think he keeps it, you know, keeps it within the team, keeps it within the family.

Speaker 18 Yeah, I'm only hitting you because I love you.

Speaker 80 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 56 Yeah. I mean, he's, that's,

Speaker 22 culture. That's a culture changer.

Speaker 76 Also, he's just addicted to like violence and getting his hands on other men.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Remember last year when he was like the consultant for the Browns? Yeah. And then he was just like, just put me out on the practice field.
Yeah.

Speaker 66 Like, let me hit people.

Speaker 16 There are certain football coaches that, you know, will have their spreadsheets and their analytics.

Speaker 54 And then there are certain football coaches that, like,

Speaker 44 the only reason they're not playing anymore is that they just don't, they're not young, but they would do anything.

Speaker 6 Like the Harbaughs, the Campbells, the Vrabels.

Speaker 53 If you said, hey, you can go out and play a play, they would definitely do it.

Speaker 18 Yeah, I bet Coach O misses hitting people.

Speaker 90 Yes, definitely. Definitely.

Speaker 16 All right, what was your next one?

Speaker 18 The other thing was that Landon Dickerson brought a cooler of beer to practice. Dude's Rock.
Dude's Rock. Was it joint practice?

Speaker 92 Joint practice, and he also shared with both teams.

Speaker 88 Oh.

Speaker 93 Good guy. Okay.

Speaker 11 Old schoolers. Yeah, go out in the parking lot.

Speaker 94 No, no, it was on the field.

Speaker 95 Oh. Yep.

Speaker 60 Okay.

Speaker 60 It was...

Speaker 96 Yeah, him, Lane Johnson, and a couple of the Browns' offensive linemen just sharing a couple pops.

Speaker 88 Love that.

Speaker 61 During practice.

Speaker 98 I think it was after practice. Okay.

Speaker 96 But yeah, on the Nova Care field.

Speaker 100 Okay.

Speaker 6 I got some stories.

Speaker 43 You want to just rip through some?

Speaker 18 I like that that headline was like, football player drinks beer.

Speaker 61 Yeah.

Speaker 68 Yeah.

Speaker 54 Big football player drinks beer with other big football players.

Speaker 101 Yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 18 It's a great story. Yeah.
That's as good as Training Camp Stories Come. Yeah.

Speaker 44 No, that was, I saw it. It was, it was probably the biggest news that it was that and the Atlanta news station accidentally putting Michael Penis Jr.

Speaker 100 on the cryon. Yep.

Speaker 46 That was a huge story.

Speaker 18 Can't do that. When you drafted Michael Penix Jr., there were meetings.
Every news station in Atlanta got together and were like, we have to end his name with an X. Yes.

Speaker 18 This is number one priority right now.

Speaker 76 And it's probably autocorrect.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 77 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 47 Nico Harrison was at the Steelers camp.

Speaker 50 Fuck Nico Harrison.

Speaker 6 So weird. I don't understand it.

Speaker 18 Yeah, what's he doing there?

Speaker 40 Probably trying to trade TJ Watt.

Speaker 102 Yeah, Nico's.

Speaker 18 He's a guy that if he showed up at my own house, I'd be like, am I losing Blake? Yeah.

Speaker 72 Everyone here.

Speaker 18 Everywhere he goes, you have to think to yourself, he's about to do something really fucking stupid. Yeah.

Speaker 103 I don't.

Speaker 22 Weird dude.

Speaker 104 Yeah.

Speaker 105 Go away, dude.

Speaker 16 Fuck you.

Speaker 64 We don't like you.

Speaker 72 All right.

Speaker 18 What else we got? The Minnesota Twins issued a statement online yesterday from the ownership group saying we've heard from our fan base loud and clear. A lot of you don't like us.

Speaker 18 A lot of you want us to sell the team. We have considered selling the team, but came to the conclusion that we're not going to sell the team.
So you're stuck with us. Fuck you.

Speaker 106 Okay.

Speaker 11 Loud and clear.

Speaker 18 Yeah, I'm paraphrasing a little bit there, but that's.

Speaker 18 You never never want to see that statement from ownership.

Speaker 51 No,

Speaker 107 no.

Speaker 28 They're shitty owners.

Speaker 6 They put the Twins fans through torture.

Speaker 20 The Twins have perpetually been good enough to get in the playoffs and not win anything.

Speaker 41 And then this year,

Speaker 2 I think I saw the step.

Speaker 40 They have two of the current guys on their major league team have a contract for next year.

Speaker 37 They just traded everyone. How is that possible? I don't know.

Speaker 24 I don't know. And that might not be a correct fact.

Speaker 18 That you might have gotten sentilled?

Speaker 72 Well, no, I don't think think it was scintillated.

Speaker 29 I think I just was scrolling and saw it and was like, wow, that's crazy.

Speaker 43 It's probably changed since then.

Speaker 109 I don't know.

Speaker 22 I don't really care.

Speaker 109 I'm going to run with it because I don't like the pole ads.

Speaker 6 We speak truth to power on this podcast.

Speaker 70 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Polads always sounds to me like it's a

Speaker 18 national slur against some country. Yeah, it does.
These fucking poll ads.

Speaker 19 Oh, by the way, I know this is out of order, but we are about to do the Mount Rushmore of Things We Don't Get the Hype About.

Speaker 40 Dak Prescott would have been a good pick.

Speaker 87 Yeah, but does he still have hype?

Speaker 72 I don't know.

Speaker 15 I think some.

Speaker 7 I think if he has one good game, he's going to get hype.

Speaker 18 That is true. You know what? He does have hype because they're going to talk about him all the time.

Speaker 53 Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 2 Did you see Jerry Jones?

Speaker 20 I think Sportico came out with the most valuable franchises in all of sports.

Speaker 29 Cowboys, $12.8 billion.

Speaker 18 It's pretty good.

Speaker 40 Damn, dude. It's pretty good.

Speaker 57 The other notable NFL franchises: Cowboys, $12.8, Rams, 10.43, Giants, 10.25, bill.

Speaker 27 Patriots 8.76.

Speaker 20 And the 49ers 8.6

Speaker 106 billion.

Speaker 112 That's a lot of money.

Speaker 3 That's a lot of money.

Speaker 18 Yeah, I wonder who's going to happen, you know, hopefully it's a long time from now, but when Jerry Jones does pass away. Steven.

Speaker 18 You think he's going to, is he going to be able to pay the taxes, all that shit?

Speaker 46 Yeah, because he bought the Cowboys for like...

Speaker 61 for nothing. Yeah.

Speaker 18 If they were for sale, though, who's going to buy them?

Speaker 114 Schefter had a tweet, which was kind of weird because he was basically being like, look how rich Jerry Jones is.

Speaker 17 But he bought, what did he end up buying the Cowboys for?

Speaker 54 It was nothing in the grand scheme of how crazy all of these franchises have blown up.

Speaker 18 Probably a couple hundred mil.

Speaker 27 Yeah, probably like a, yeah, and like a box of strawberries or something.

Speaker 115 He's like, here you go.

Speaker 65 I got a big oil well up in Norman.

Speaker 18 I'll sell that to you. Pennies on the dollar.
Give me them Cowboys.

Speaker 30 Give me that.

Speaker 40 All right, I'm going to try to find it.

Speaker 43 But the Glazing was crazy on this.

Speaker 41 Also, he he was glazing the cowboy.

Speaker 62 What was up with that?

Speaker 28 They're not, I guess, Kelsey, Jason Kelsey, works for ESPN a little bit,

Speaker 95 right?

Speaker 43 But still, he has like first take was talking about it.

Speaker 58 All right, here it is.

Speaker 18 I got it.

Speaker 70 Jerry's World.

Speaker 3 $12.8 billion is the current valuation of the Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 6 Jerry Jones, when he bought the Cowboys, was for $140 million in 1989.

Speaker 18 That's crazy.

Speaker 46 That is insane.

Speaker 6 $140 million to $12.8 billion.

Speaker 87 Good for him. Good for him.

Speaker 108 Good for him.

Speaker 64 Good things happen to bad people.

Speaker 18 He was just talking about how he still thinks all press is good press no matter what about the Cowboys. He threw in a little dig at the NFL.
He was like, I do all this.

Speaker 18 I bring eyes not only to my team, but I do it for the NFL free of charge to the NFL. Yeah.

Speaker 18 You should thank me more often, Roger, which I agree. Yeah.
I'd like to see Roger Goodell publicly humiliated by his own ownership group more frequently. Yeah, absolutely.
Like bend the knee to them.

Speaker 33 Yeah, just little slight digs here and there.

Speaker 43 Yeah.

Speaker 29 Do you guys, the

Speaker 56 NBA

Speaker 6 rights thing has kind of settled where we got the schedule?

Speaker 2 This sucks.

Speaker 64 I'm just going to say this right now.

Speaker 6 I mean, this is not news. It's not breaking news.

Speaker 20 It's not novel.

Speaker 19 It sucks what they're doing to us as sports fans overall, where we have to have every subscription.

Speaker 76 a million different channels, all this stuff to watch sports.

Speaker 111 I saw there was something that was like the average NFL fan has to to pay like $1,300 this year to watch every NFL game because you have to have Netflix, you have to have Amazon, you have to have cable, you have to have Sunday ticket, all this shit.

Speaker 18 It's absurd. It's absurd.
If you want to be a sports fan in America, you are paying a shitload of money way more than your cable bill ever was, way more than DirecTV, satellite ever was.

Speaker 18 You have to get all these streaming packages. I think the government is going to try to break them up.
Yeah. Or force them to merge into a bundle.
I guess a cable.

Speaker 18 I guess that's the opposite of breaking. They're going to set them up.

Speaker 120 Yeah, no, we're going back to cable.

Speaker 70 We have to go back to cable.

Speaker 18 Yeah, they're going to bundle them. Hopefully that happens soon because it is fucking expensive.
Yeah.

Speaker 121 So Mondays are Peacock.

Speaker 56 Tuesdays are NBC and Peacock.

Speaker 44 Wednesdays are ESPN.

Speaker 76 Thursdays are Amazon Prime. Fridays are Amazon Prime and ESPN.
Saturdays are Amazon Prime and ABC.

Speaker 44 Sundays are ABC, NBC, and Peacock.

Speaker 18 There should be a bundle.

Speaker 87 So stupid. There should be a bundle.

Speaker 18 Maybe within these different apps, like Peacock, you only get Peacock Sports. Yeah.
You only get Paramount Sports.

Speaker 18 And then you bundle all those different sports ones together, and you get the sports megabed.

Speaker 70 Yeah, the mega bed of sports.

Speaker 3 Fucking love that.

Speaker 42 Also, shout out, PFT, our two teams.

Speaker 27 You're last.

Speaker 30 I'm second to last in least amount of prime time games.

Speaker 58 So the Wizards have two prime time games.

Speaker 3 The Bulls have three.

Speaker 18 That's two too many.

Speaker 6 Yeah, there's a lot of teams tied to that.

Speaker 18 I'd like to apologize for the two primetime games that the Wizards do have this year.

Speaker 21 Did you guys see?

Speaker 39 This is not really a big story, but Tim Dundon, the guy from the Carolina Hurricanes, he bought the Portland Trailblazers.

Speaker 17 Is that the weirdest combination of teams you can own? Yeah, probably.

Speaker 64 What's weirder?

Speaker 123 If you owned, like...

Speaker 18 If you owned the Orlando Magic

Speaker 18 and

Speaker 67 the

Speaker 18 New England Revolution.

Speaker 124 What about, yeah, or like, oh, let's think.

Speaker 39 The Arizona Diamondbacks and the Ottawa Senators.

Speaker 16 That'd be a pretty weird one.

Speaker 18 That'd be really strange.

Speaker 124 The Tampa Bay Lightning

Speaker 6 and the Seattle Sounders.

Speaker 18 Is it Sounders? I think it's Sounders, Sounders. The team that always plays against Portland.

Speaker 61 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 14 Carolina and Portland.

Speaker 35 That's

Speaker 87 in basketball and hockey.

Speaker 18 That's very strange.

Speaker 2 Good for Tim Dundin.

Speaker 18 Great job. I think that dude's like a

Speaker 18 payday loan king.

Speaker 11 What? Same colors.

Speaker 18 True. Do you think he bought the Blazers because their logo is kind of like a hurricane?

Speaker 14 He's trying to make like a mini like Pittsburgh, but it's all across the country.

Speaker 18 Yeah, he gets to save money on his merch sales because he's like, I just need the hurricane shape.

Speaker 18 I need that mass produced for me. Oh, shit.

Speaker 14 So

Speaker 14 he's going to buy the Arizona Cardinals.

Speaker 18 The colors, yeah, but

Speaker 18 like the Blazers, I don't know why are the Portland Blazers, why is their logo the hurricane sign from the weather channel?

Speaker 125 Okay.

Speaker 84 Do you want me to look it up?

Speaker 70 Yeah, yeah, I'd like to know.

Speaker 111 You guys got a filibuster.

Speaker 18 These are the things that chat my ass day in, day out. Can I gas Hank up real quick?

Speaker 95 No.

Speaker 18 I'd like to gas permission to gas you.

Speaker 12 No.

Speaker 126 Granted.

Speaker 18 Hank is really good at golf. He's too shy to say it on the podcast.
Too shy to say it on the podcast. My man Hank came back this morning.
He shot a 37 on the front nine. 38.

Speaker 18 38 on the front nine with a seven on the first hole.

Speaker 11 Yeah, I made it eagle. I played well.
I mean, it was, it was, I got it. It it doesn't really matter.
We were, we were playing for fun, me and me and Grinnell, Malisex, some of the producers, memes.

Speaker 11 But, you know,

Speaker 11 it's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful place. Shout out to Big Cedar.
Three of the nicest courses I've ever seen. Unbelievable part three course.

Speaker 11 This place is magical.

Speaker 18 Once again, you didn't do it on camera.

Speaker 11 I just enjoy being out there with the boys. I'm, you know, I'm happy to post a good score.
Didn't go as well in the back, but it was, it was a

Speaker 51 great day.

Speaker 1 37?

Speaker 54 So what, you'd have to shoot 49?

Speaker 11 I shot 84.

Speaker 18 So, Hank texted me.

Speaker 11 It was Rattlesnake, so I was too scared to go look for balls.

Speaker 18 He texted me an update. He said, I just shot 38 on the front line.
I said, if you break 80, I'm going to wipe your deck clean. $8,000.
Wow. Unfortunately.

Speaker 11 Not got my head. Yeah, sorry.

Speaker 18 I definitely didn't do that just to mess with you.

Speaker 111 Okay, filibuster over.

Speaker 6 The Portland Trailblazers logo is a pinwheel design because it visually represents two basketball teams, five players on each side, coming together at center court.

Speaker 6 The intersecting lines with their curved nature also symbolize the speed and motion of the game.

Speaker 18 It's a fucking hurricane.

Speaker 118 That's so stupid.

Speaker 18 Yeah, just say it's a hurricane.

Speaker 2 You know what?

Speaker 45 That makes me think that they came up

Speaker 31 at some point, this logo was the most state-of-the-art logo that's ever been done.

Speaker 95 Yeah.

Speaker 54 They were like, watch this.

Speaker 31 It's 5'5 motion of the game.

Speaker 6 You've never seen a logo like this.

Speaker 18 1970s, we are living in the future.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 74 All right, so that guy,

Speaker 3 yeah, that guy owns both the teams, Tim Dundon.

Speaker 87 Good for him.

Speaker 26 Good for him.

Speaker 74 Do you want to talk a little baseball?

Speaker 20 I don't know if we have any baseball.

Speaker 27 The Cubs stink.

Speaker 3 Brewers never lose.

Speaker 18 Brewers don't lose.

Speaker 18 Crazy, man. Well, there is a Brewer story out there.
What? The Brewers had, I believe, a 12-game win streak. Yeah.
And there's a local restaurant that gives away free hamburgers.

Speaker 18 Whenever the Brewers have a 12-game win streak, they've only done it three times.

Speaker 48 They've done it like four times this year.

Speaker 18 Yeah, since it started in like, I want to say the 60s, they've only had three times where they've given away these hamburgers. And one guy in Wisconsin got so mad,

Speaker 18 he went to the restaurant, tried to claim his free burger, and they're like, hey, man, we have to give out free burgers to everybody in the state. So it's going to take a couple days.

Speaker 59 You'll get your burger.

Speaker 18 And he called 911. What? Yeah.
He Karened out on the free burger. Damn.

Speaker 112 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Called the cops.

Speaker 26 That's crazy.

Speaker 121 And then they're, I mean, they're going to do it.

Speaker 40 He's going to have another shot at it.

Speaker 84 They've won like, oh, no, they're on the 12-game win streak right.

Speaker 29 Yeah, they don't lose.

Speaker 109 They do not lose.

Speaker 44 I got a question for you guys because would you say the Cubs were up like, I can't remember what our biggest lead was, but at what point is a blown lead?

Speaker 21 Like, it's too early for a blown lead, right?

Speaker 111 Like, and also the Brewers are up eight games now.

Speaker 7 It happened in like two seconds.

Speaker 87 Yeah, so August.

Speaker 43 Yeah, it's not like a blown lead in the division has to happen in September, right?

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Yeah. Would you guys agree? Yeah.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 40 This is, by the way, the ultimate loser talk that I'm just trying to find solace in being.

Speaker 95 I'm like, we didn't blow the lead.

Speaker 101 Yeah. It's way too early.

Speaker 18 Yeah. I think you guys just got out to a hot start.
Yeah.

Speaker 63 It's crazy, dude.

Speaker 61 They're up eight games in the Central.

Speaker 27 It happened in the last

Speaker 69 two and a half weeks.

Speaker 75 It's fucking nuts.

Speaker 111 I'm excited, though. Play up.

Speaker 19 The wild card race is going to be awesome.

Speaker 51 Really, really good.

Speaker 102 The Phillies, how are they doing?

Speaker 128 They just lost a series to the Reds, but

Speaker 129 it's nothing worse than a loser. We lose a series.

Speaker 128 We've been winning most of our series recently, so it's okay.

Speaker 130 Yeah.

Speaker 98 We haven't scored in the past two games.

Speaker 96 Zero runs in the past two games is troubling, though.

Speaker 115 You got to score.

Speaker 131 And

Speaker 128 two of our best pitchers have not looked great, but we're,

Speaker 97 you know, chalking that up.

Speaker 97 We got some time before October.

Speaker 18 We were talking some ball last night. We were talking some

Speaker 18 positional numbers.

Speaker 111 Yeah.

Speaker 18 When Hank was trying to figure out what order Shohei Otani's triple play went, do you remember what it was?

Speaker 18 It's like the four aces all over again.

Speaker 11 It was just 6-3.

Speaker 80 No.

Speaker 128 You said 6-5-4-3.

Speaker 11 No, that's what I said, but with the actual triple play, it was just shortstop.

Speaker 128 I think it was second. I think it was 4-3.

Speaker 9 4-3.

Speaker 126 May have been 6'3. I don't know.

Speaker 18 That got me wondering if there's ever been a play in Major League Baseball where every player on the field has touched the ball.

Speaker 11 I feel like, no.

Speaker 59 It would have to be the craziest pickle.

Speaker 95 Well, it'd be like little league.

Speaker 101 Yes. It would be a pickle.

Speaker 83 It would probably be like a double pickle.

Speaker 28 A crazy error in the outfield.

Speaker 22 I feel like it could happen.

Speaker 6 If you get a ball hit to right field, the guy misses it, and then the center fielder has to back him up, and then there's a pickle between second and third.

Speaker 111 Yeah. So then you get the left fielder in there, and it's got to go for a while.

Speaker 18 A position to Gami.

Speaker 3 Maybe a throw to home, misses the catcher, pitcher backing him up.

Speaker 11 It was long enough. Yeah, the center, left field, catcher could all get involved.

Speaker 130 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Let's see, somebody asked that question.

Speaker 31 Also, shout out the Padres.

Speaker 20 They took the lead in the NL West.

Speaker 9 A A couple of those, yeah.

Speaker 113 Podheads.

Speaker 18 I like the pods.

Speaker 18 I said it last year, but I fell in love with the Padres again this year for the exact same reason.

Speaker 86 So I'll probably end up regretting it.

Speaker 67 They've been hot.

Speaker 101 They got an awesome bullpen.

Speaker 18 They got fun players to root for.

Speaker 52 You got it? You got the answer?

Speaker 87 The Google episode.

Speaker 18 This is just a bunch of people talking about the possibilities. One guy said, You Darvish once hit three people with the same pitch.

Speaker 71 That's pretty good.

Speaker 18 I'd like to see that. I found a 625154-5657 triple play.

Speaker 18 But you're still missing three guys with that.

Speaker 95 Yeah.

Speaker 87 I don't think it's ever happened.

Speaker 40 Yeah, probably not.

Speaker 18 That's when Peter Gammons just ascends to heaven. Yeah.

Speaker 18 Not in like a death way, just in like I've reached my final form.

Speaker 3 Nirvana.

Speaker 18 Baseball Nirvana.

Speaker 61 Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 51 Okay.

Speaker 16 I don't really have much else.

Speaker 3 Is there anything else going on in the sports world?

Speaker 76 Jake Fromm's an insurance agent.

Speaker 113 You think?

Speaker 75 Yeah, it was kind of funny just seeing that.

Speaker 84 I mean, he's probably doing pretty well, but it was kind of crazy seeing him.

Speaker 7 He's a client advisor.

Speaker 18 Is he selling car insurance?

Speaker 3 Sterling Secrets Pritchard, client advisor for an insurance brokerage in Atlanta.

Speaker 53 I bet you he did. Do you know? Like, everyone jokes about

Speaker 19 a guy like Jake Fromm, who was quarterback of Georgia,

Speaker 27 he was drafted in the NFL by the Bills.

Speaker 125 Yep.

Speaker 111 And then, like, oh, look, he's doing insurance.

Speaker 27 Dude, he's probably living the best life.

Speaker 6 All he's doing is just playing golf.

Speaker 121 He's just playing golf with clients.

Speaker 43 He's playing golf with big Georgia fans and bringing in deals.

Speaker 18 He's probably making a lot of money doing it.

Speaker 109 Yeah.

Speaker 61 He's their closer.

Speaker 18 If you're going to buy insurance from somebody, you might as well buy insurance from the guy that you used to be like, I fucking love you, dude. Thank you for making my life so much better.

Speaker 111 I guarantee you his schedule is just, oh, you got to go golf with these Georgia fans and they'll give us millions of dollars of business.

Speaker 18 What if you sold auto insurance to the current University of Georgia football team?

Speaker 29 That would be a high premium.

Speaker 18 That would be a very lucrative contract.

Speaker 65 Very, very high premium.

Speaker 77 That's probably why they're recruited.

Speaker 133 Yeah, probably.

Speaker 28 Okay, let's get to our Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 111 We have a great Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 44 Then we have Coach Gruden, and you're definitely going to want to listen to Firefest because we've all been together all week.

Speaker 45 What are the standings?

Speaker 46 We have them.

Speaker 68 That'll be Big Cat and Zach.

Speaker 136 You guys won the last one. So you're at 38.
Me and Max are at 36.

Speaker 80 We won the last one.

Speaker 18 No. No, we came in last.

Speaker 104 Oh.

Speaker 136 Me and Max at 36. You guys at 34.

Speaker 125 Yeah.

Speaker 90 Okay.

Speaker 18 Memes, something you want to share with class?

Speaker 65 Max just sent an absolute banger.

Speaker 6 Oh, he sent a banger of a pick?

Speaker 112 Yeah, I just thought of it.

Speaker 116 I thought it was a last minute pick.

Speaker 72 So here's what we're going to do.

Speaker 89 By the way,

Speaker 6 shout out to our guy this day in Barstool because he counted up.

Speaker 27 I tweeted out asking for submissions. Got a lot of submissions.

Speaker 6 We're going to put them in a database.

Speaker 19 It'll help for next summer as well.

Speaker 19 We've done, this will be our 283rd Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 18 That's crazy.

Speaker 78 So, we've done every topic.

Speaker 42 A lot of people who submit topics, I appreciate you submitting topics.

Speaker 28 And a lot of people are like, Why aren't you doing this one?

Speaker 6 There's a good chance we've done it. So, we're and we don't want to do repeats.

Speaker 18 We someday we'll do a repeat. Sometimes we accidentally repeat, but if we do, we try not to do any ones that we've done in the last four years.

Speaker 17 Yeah, we'd prefer not to repeat.

Speaker 26 Uh, so I'm excited for this one.

Speaker 44 Uh, and we like doing the open-ended ones because it gets a lot of discussion going.

Speaker 43 This Mount Rushmore is going to be the Mount Rushmore of things we don't understand the hype about.

Speaker 132 So

Speaker 26 that's it.

Speaker 22 All right. A little different than overrated things.

Speaker 44 It's things we don't get the hype.

Speaker 24 We don't get the hype.

Speaker 80 But there is hype. There is hype.

Speaker 9 There's a lot of hype.

Speaker 11 And all these things should get people mad because there should be a lot of people

Speaker 72 who do get the hype about it. It could be good things.
We're not going to be able to do that.

Speaker 31 These will be basically just hot takes or people being like, well, how do you not get this?

Speaker 18 Like, it's probably an us problem.

Speaker 139 Correct.

Speaker 115 Yeah, this is more of a discussion.

Speaker 91 Like, it's hard to win this one one because you're just talking about things that people will like.

Speaker 72 Are popular.

Speaker 100 Yes.

Speaker 109 You don't get the hype. Correct.

Speaker 121 Okay, so we're up first, Zach.

Speaker 26 For our first pick,

Speaker 83 we are going to, and we would like, we would love for you guys to allow us to put a parentheses on this one because

Speaker 43 there's something that's very confusing about it.

Speaker 6 We're going to take Stanley Cups drinkwear.

Speaker 111 The big fucking Stanley Cups that everyone goes crazy about.

Speaker 103 All the women love it.

Speaker 65 Don't understand the hype. It's literally.

Speaker 28 Yeah, see how it's confusing?

Speaker 108 Not the Stanley Cup.

Speaker 82 Got it.

Speaker 108 Got it.

Speaker 45 The things that people wait in lines for, and everyone, every mom in America has it.

Speaker 2 It's literally just a cup.

Speaker 18 I think it's even moved on from Stanley. I feel like there's a new cup every month.

Speaker 93 Zach has the new one.

Speaker 119 What's the new one?

Speaker 59 There's quite a few.

Speaker 60 The new one that I'm seeing everywhere is the wau.

Speaker 88 What is it called?

Speaker 72 I think you're having a wall of water.

Speaker 72 What are they called?

Speaker 138 So should we say what they're called?

Speaker 62 What's it called?

Speaker 141 metal tumbler?

Speaker 78 Drinkware, yeah.

Speaker 38 But I feel like people recognize the Stanley Cups.

Speaker 38 Stanley is one that made it popular.

Speaker 72 Yeah, no, that's good.

Speaker 70 That's okay.

Speaker 85 Stanley Cups drinkware.

Speaker 11 People that like cold drinks.

Speaker 72 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 106 Or hot drinks.

Speaker 133 I guess.

Speaker 101 But there's a new one they've rotated.

Speaker 141 For some reason, there's a new fad of one

Speaker 8 every few months. Yeah.

Speaker 93 And also, they have.

Speaker 11 And I lose those cups, so I've never understood the hype.

Speaker 11 If I buy one, it's going to be gone.

Speaker 49 They're very, very popular.

Speaker 72 Yeah, no, I know.

Speaker 73 They resell on StockX.

Speaker 59 Yeah.

Speaker 133 Or any eBay, all these. Yeah, because

Speaker 6 they're almost like Beanie Babies, like the newer version of Beanie Babies, where people collect different colors and shit.

Speaker 18 Whatever new hot girl is doing like a selfie TikTok video with their new cup, that's when all the girls are like, oh, I have to get that cup.

Speaker 92 But why is it only girl?

Speaker 143 Like, it's a girl thing.

Speaker 71 I know.

Speaker 144 Like, if I see a guy walking around with a Stanley cup,

Speaker 11 I think finance bros love a nice colour.

Speaker 72 I don't think so. I think, I think it's.

Speaker 92 I assume that man is gay if they're walking around with a Stanley cups.

Speaker 72 Wow, yeah.

Speaker 62 Wow.

Speaker 145 If you have a reasonable cup,

Speaker 139 it's like a fashion. It's like a fashion thing.

Speaker 18 Can you imagine swimming out a cup and then using that same cup the next day? Well, you probably like guys.

Speaker 62 Max,

Speaker 59 what about Tumblr cups in the house? Like metal. No, yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 94 Tumblr cups.

Speaker 62 I think it's more of the Stanley cups.

Speaker 144 I think it's more of the Stanley cups.

Speaker 18 I think you have a problem with straws.

Speaker 129 Like a blue Stanley cup.

Speaker 62 Yeah, putting your mouth all up on that straw.

Speaker 93 Is that a hot take?

Speaker 116 Yeah, kind of.

Speaker 61 Just a loyalty.

Speaker 62 Is that crazy?

Speaker 118 Do you guys like the pick?

Speaker 78 I mean, it's there.

Speaker 73 I don't get the hot take.

Speaker 62 I don't agree. I don't know.

Speaker 18 I don't know if Max is ever going to be putting on that headset again.

Speaker 94 I know.

Speaker 34 Oh, now he's rattled. He's rattled.
All right.

Speaker 52 You guys, who's up next?

Speaker 133 You guys. Oh, all right, Hank.
You got the ball.

Speaker 18 We had a great discussion earlier.

Speaker 72 We had a great discussion.

Speaker 11 Probably the most efficient meeting we've ever had.

Speaker 72 Love that.

Speaker 11 We're going to go with caviar.

Speaker 109 Head on the list. Caviar.

Speaker 80 Great pick, Hank.

Speaker 11 Expensive.

Speaker 11 Not good.

Speaker 141 I like caviar.

Speaker 78 Of course you do.

Speaker 18 I judge that a little bit. You're eating fish cum.

Speaker 96 Yeah, no,

Speaker 115 I think it tastes good.

Speaker 147 Like, I think I might just like potato chips and cream and creme frache.

Speaker 18 You like having something that you eat before an appetizer. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 93 It's nice.

Speaker 94 It is nice.

Speaker 128 I've only had it like a handful of times, but I'm like, this is.

Speaker 96 The bite of the potato chip, the creme frache, and the caviar is good.

Speaker 126 I don't know if the caviar is needed.

Speaker 138 It could just be the cavity. You're just like chips.
Yeah.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 133 But it's good.

Speaker 18 I've never had a bite of caviar and be like, that is delicious. I haven't really eaten that much.
I've probably had it like four times in my life.

Speaker 18 One time, me and Hank actually went to a Super Bowl party. It was a pretty swanky party, and they had this food truck that was parked there, and they were giving out caviar bumps.
You remember that?

Speaker 18 And they put them on your hands.

Speaker 65 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 18 And then Hank looked at it and he acted like he thought he was supposed to snort it. Yeah.

Speaker 14 I mean, I shouldn't have stopped him.

Speaker 121 I'm not a guy who turns down appetizer passed around.

Speaker 100 I will always turn down caviar.

Speaker 111 Like when the woman or man walks around and they're just like, hey, you want this?

Speaker 117 Caviar on a little toasted baguette or something?

Speaker 84 Like, no, thank you.

Speaker 11 Yeah, it's like synonymous with like super, super nice, like most luxurious places. You're serving caviar.
It's like, I would rather get served anything else.

Speaker 80 Yep. Yep.

Speaker 101 Yep.

Speaker 132 Good pick.

Speaker 73 Good pick.

Speaker 97 Okay.

Speaker 93 We're going to go with R11.

Speaker 91 If we're talking strictly things that we don't understand,

Speaker 11 the hype about.

Speaker 35 Laboo-boo.

Speaker 144 Yeah.

Speaker 131 Don't know it.

Speaker 126 Don't get it. Don't understand it.

Speaker 67 It's a good pig.

Speaker 150 I'm not very familiar with laboo boos.

Speaker 113 Oh, it is hot in the streets.

Speaker 49 Yeah.

Speaker 108 I know what they are, but I'm not.

Speaker 7 I can't say I've seen many labooboos.

Speaker 97 They are. Oh, no, they are very much.

Speaker 83 Do you think it's partially because it's a fun word to say?

Speaker 6 Maybe. Laboo Boo is fun.

Speaker 128 Maybe it's fun.

Speaker 72 Laboo Boo?

Speaker 32 That's when LeBron knows his team's about to lose.

Speaker 74 He gets a laboo boo.

Speaker 11 Is that guys and girls or just Chris Girls?

Speaker 62 I don't know.

Speaker 4 Who does do? I don't know.

Speaker 126 But I know that it's like a reset. It's like a

Speaker 18 thing.

Speaker 46 Where are you seeing labooboos?

Speaker 98 TikTok. It's all over TikTok.
Okay.

Speaker 144 Got it. Like, people are obsessed with

Speaker 144 getting laboo boos and then like unboxing the laboo boo that they get and like getting super excited.

Speaker 18 I think it's just a great name. Oh, yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 72 I can't stop saying labooboo.

Speaker 60 Yeah, I think no one really understands what it is.

Speaker 59 I think part of it can also be like the chase of them because it's like blind blind boxes. So like you're trying to find the rare ones so that they're like chasing maybe.

Speaker 91 Next one are you going to get people angry?

Speaker 126 I think the people in this room are, most of the people in this room are going to agree with it.

Speaker 62 Soccer.

Speaker 72 Oh my God. Don't understand.

Speaker 62 Good pill.

Speaker 141 Don't understand. Good pick.

Speaker 9 It's the most popular sport in the world by far.

Speaker 92 And I watch a game and it seems so fucking boring.

Speaker 60 Like I get the moment that you get the goal is very fun, but every other moment in between it is like, when are they going to fucking do something?

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 129 Oh, soccer has.

Speaker 139 It's, yeah, it's probably going to lose us the draft because so many people

Speaker 139 fucking love soccer.

Speaker 151 It's going to be to ourselves.

Speaker 18 It's because it's the easiest sport to play. So the most people play and the most people watch.

Speaker 113 All you need is a ball. Yeah.

Speaker 118 And you can play. But it's the people.

Speaker 120 I agree. It's

Speaker 71 most of the time.

Speaker 18 It's not that fun to watch. I only care about the World Cup.
I only care about international.

Speaker 54 So I can't get into club soccer if it's MLS, if it's epl i've tried it's hard you have to have like a passion for that team no it's it the soccer is the one sport that i confidently can say i've never watched a soccer game that i didn't have money on it is watched every other sport without gambling i have to gamble to watch soccer it is fun to play when covet happened it was like the first sport that came back and i was like this is thank god there's like ukrainian soccer yeah i was watching i was like i still don't care but this if it's not going to happen now it's never happened max like do you like penalties pks

Speaker 97 yeah I mean, that's fun, but that's like

Speaker 11 the World Cup final was one of the best sporting events I've watched in the last few years.

Speaker 11 That was electric.

Speaker 18 I can't wait for the World Cup in the United States, but I agree that soccer,

Speaker 18 I can't dedicate myself to watching a full season of 90-minute soccer games.

Speaker 64 Can't do it. Nope.

Speaker 22 Good pick.

Speaker 11 Us next.

Speaker 11 We are going to go with lip fillers.

Speaker 11 I like that. Yeah.
Very popular. I feel like it's one of those things, it's like a lot of girls look better before they get lip fillers.

Speaker 86 No, they look,

Speaker 70 I think it looks weird.

Speaker 18 I'd say the vast majority look better before.

Speaker 9 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 70 Like I've never.

Speaker 11 And it's like one of those things you get it once and you just have to keep getting them.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 115 The good way to put it is like I've never looked at a girl and be like, oh, those lips are way too skinny.

Speaker 97 And then I have plenty of times looked at a girl and be like, that is way too much lip filler.

Speaker 140 So it's like, why,

Speaker 144 why even do it if like the only thing that people are going to realize is when it's too big?

Speaker 18 What'd you think about a man with lip filler?

Speaker 91 What What'd would you think?

Speaker 147 Strong, strong, confident man.

Speaker 117 What about a man with lip fillers and their lips are just wrapped around a straw going into a Stanley Cup?

Speaker 97 Nah, yeah, that dude's probably gay.

Speaker 33 Zach, I feel like we should go 2-4.

Speaker 33 We can just piss off both sides.

Speaker 22 What were you looking at?

Speaker 72 We're in the middle of Mount Russia.

Speaker 59 I had the numbers list swapped. I was a previous number list, the newest number list.
But we won one on those.

Speaker 95 You like 2-4?

Speaker 33 We just piss off everyone.

Speaker 59 Yeah, that's much.

Speaker 72 Okay, we can bring 2-4. All right,

Speaker 111 we're going to piss off pretty much, I'd say 100% of the world right now with these next two picks.

Speaker 121 Our next pick is going to be

Speaker 63 Taylor Swift Easter eggs.

Speaker 118 Not Taylor Swift the music.

Speaker 38 We understand the music, understand the hype in that.

Speaker 79 I, for the life of me, do not understand when Taylor Swift just like matches a couple numbers and she wears a color that she wore four years ago and everyone fucking goes full investigative journalism mode and they're like, this is this.

Speaker 6 Oh my God, she said this.

Speaker 47 And then

Speaker 53 she had a high school boyfriend named Dylan.

Speaker 150 And

Speaker 151 if you add up all the numbers of the letters that might equal this for her new album, it's fucking stupid.

Speaker 18 I think it's just a fun puzzle.

Speaker 107 I don't understand the hype about it.

Speaker 54 I don't understand the hype.

Speaker 124 She likes the number 13. Cool.

Speaker 152 I think also just like liking a number that much is weird.

Speaker 18 Because liking Taylor Swift is a hobby.

Speaker 78 It's a hobby to get to have, and then it becomes like three.

Speaker 72 There's a three,

Speaker 49 but you know what I mean?

Speaker 50 Like, I totally understand the hype of her music.

Speaker 54 She's a great, like, her music is good.

Speaker 40 Uh, I listen to some of it not by my own volition.

Speaker 6 It's because my kids like to listen to it.

Speaker 16 The Easter egg part, I don't get.

Speaker 72 I do not get it.

Speaker 11 I don't get the hype about the music, but that's that's just me.

Speaker 22 What?

Speaker 94 I like the music.

Speaker 38 I think it's, I think, but you, but you at least understand the hype about the music.

Speaker 49 Sure, like, I, if music is she's a talented musician.

Speaker 2 Music is subjective.

Speaker 111 If, if someone's popular in music, I'm not going to be like, oh, like, just because I don't like it, I don't get it.

Speaker 6 But the Easter egg part, I've never gotten.

Speaker 11 The gap between her and like number two, though, is so insane. Like, that's where it's like,

Speaker 11 it blows my mind that it's that much hype.

Speaker 18 I think she's a very talented songwriter, talented singer,

Speaker 18 very good performer. But I don't think that she's the most electric performer.
singer to ever walk the face of the earth. Yeah.
I think that that's that's where you lose me a little bit. Right.

Speaker 31 But you guys, you guys obviously know what I'm talking about, the Easter eggs.

Speaker 106 Yeah, no, I'm more.

Speaker 126 It's a good way of like, I don't understand it.

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 82 I don't know.

Speaker 54 I don't, and it's so popular.

Speaker 18 It's so. You have to decode stuff.

Speaker 122 Basically, from now until her album drops, every single thing that

Speaker 6 comes out that's even adjacent to Taylor Swift, they're going to think is a hidden message.

Speaker 6 What she was wearing on the Kelsey podcast will be broken down as a hidden message that some things are just not hidden messages.

Speaker 18 I think it's like true crime, but for asshole former boyfriends. Yeah.

Speaker 100 But there's no, you can't find the murderer.

Speaker 125 Yeah,

Speaker 18 but you like to find him, and then you like to do podcasts about him.

Speaker 26 All right.

Speaker 111 And then this one is going to piss off another group of people.

Speaker 31 So I think we just pissed off all women. Good.

Speaker 150 I like this.

Speaker 107 Now we're going to piss off a lot of men.

Speaker 111 We don't get the hype on sports cards.

Speaker 128 We had it.

Speaker 102 We had it. Don't get it.

Speaker 70 Don't get it. Don't fucking.

Speaker 49 I liked. I had a...

Speaker 18 bunch of baseball cards when I was growing up. When I was like six to 10, I collected them and I learned like like every mid-90s baseball player that was fun.

Speaker 18 And then I just kind of stopped caring about baseball cards.

Speaker 32 Just don't get it.

Speaker 139 What you just get them and then you put them in your hold them and then you someday sell them and then you buy more of them.

Speaker 11 I don't get it. I'm not having a binder.
Yeah, when I was like 10 years old, I had a binder.

Speaker 62 Correct.

Speaker 139 But like, you can't even display it.

Speaker 11 I think now makes no sense. Yeah.

Speaker 44 Do you know what I did as a kid?

Speaker 32 Which I obviously they probably were worth nothing anyway, but I took all my good cards, good players, and I put them in a separate binder and then I lost that one.

Speaker 32 So I found my old binder like, I don't know, maybe like 10 years ago and I was going through it and it was like, you remember the actual binders that had like the six sleeves?

Speaker 52 Yeah.

Speaker 6 So it would, it was full, but there was like gaps in every single page and it was just dog shit players that I had.

Speaker 100 The whole binder was dog shit players.

Speaker 18 What do you think about a guy that's got a book filled with pictures of dudes, Mac?

Speaker 70 Nah, that's chill. Yeah, that's chill.
Yeah, that's chill.

Speaker 53 But yeah, you guys, you, you guys agree?

Speaker 16 You, I don't really, I don't think none of us, I don't think any of us are.

Speaker 127 Yeah,

Speaker 93 but there are people that are

Speaker 26 so mad. So mad.

Speaker 64 But I feel good. We pissed off men and women.

Speaker 59 We have.

Speaker 59 Equal opportunity pissing off right now.

Speaker 128 We're going to have the most people pissed off after this, Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 93 I'm excited for it.

Speaker 111 I will say that when Zach and I were game planning this in the megabed last night,

Speaker 6 he wanted to make sure that it was sports cards because he says Pokemon cards do have utility.

Speaker 31 You can actually play the game.

Speaker 83 Yep.

Speaker 18 Magic the gathering. Very

Speaker 46 important distinction.

Speaker 70 They all have utility.

Speaker 65 There's a game to be played.

Speaker 18 They're no different than like a nice set of tools.

Speaker 54 I wanted to say card collecting. So I guess it's sports card collecting would be our graphic, but I wanted to say just card collecting and Zach was like, no, Pokemon, you can play.

Speaker 42 So sports card collecting is our pick.

Speaker 11 All right, we're going to go something in the same vein where it's like it was fun when you were a little kid, but

Speaker 11 the hype as an adult is Marvel movies.

Speaker 72 Oh, wow.

Speaker 82 We just

Speaker 144 old Marvel movie.

Speaker 126 Up until Avengers,

Speaker 97 I did like Marvel movies.

Speaker 32 I thought we were going to go one, two, KO punch a Brandon Walker, and you were going to say wrestling.

Speaker 62 That's a race.

Speaker 141 It's not a bad pick.

Speaker 72 That's a

Speaker 26 hype of wrestling.

Speaker 85 It's not a bad pick.

Speaker 64 But that literally would have killed Brandon.

Speaker 70 I like that hank good pick.

Speaker 100 Marvel movies.

Speaker 78 I had it.

Speaker 78 It's like

Speaker 59 I like good movies, but like, it's the same, it's the same thing with Taylor Swift.

Speaker 11 It's like, she's great. She's a huge artist.
There's a lot of fans, but like, it's, they had a million people watching a podcast.

Speaker 11 Like, the Marvel movies being like, you know, people like camping out for Marvel for superhero movies.

Speaker 11 It's like, I like good movies, but the hype being as big as it was never, never made sense to me when they're like cheesy superhero movies.

Speaker 98 I don't know.

Speaker 113 The event, like the endgame, like in theaters was an awesome like watching experience.

Speaker 120 Like it was super, super cool.

Speaker 97 I kind of got into it at one point.

Speaker 90 I love this Mount Rush one.

Speaker 120 People are going to be so mad.

Speaker 112 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 18 We're not saying it sucks.

Speaker 18 We just don't get the hype.

Speaker 71 Yeah, no, it's the thing.

Speaker 18 Our hype level is not commensurate with the national hype level.

Speaker 109 I had it on my list, I had my honorable mentions.

Speaker 136 You do have to be dedicated to knowing everything about

Speaker 18 to follow the entire storyline.

Speaker 145 And the new phase does suck.

Speaker 111 And if there was an alternate universe where part of my take was an all-female podcast and they did this exact Mount Rushmore, I think 1-1 would be sports.

Speaker 100 Yep.

Speaker 109 And we would our entire lives.

Speaker 51 Okay.

Speaker 97 Okay.

Speaker 91 This is where

Speaker 140 we're going to join the health and fitness

Speaker 72 part of

Speaker 72 this.

Speaker 50 Always tough.

Speaker 126 The first one I'm going to say is very popular with one person of this podcast.

Speaker 97 Uh-oh.

Speaker 120 And it's cold plunges.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 143 I used to do it all the time in college, and it was a punishment.

Speaker 72 Who cold plunges? Who cold plunges.

Speaker 127 Hank Cold Plunges. Frequently?

Speaker 9 Yeah, go to the bathhouse.

Speaker 60 I was

Speaker 7 so good pick.

Speaker 52 We had it on our list.

Speaker 65 I'm building a cold plunge in my house. Correct.

Speaker 109 I'm going to try it.

Speaker 118 But

Speaker 59 it is.

Speaker 11 But you had to do it after practice. I like get super hot, sauna, and then cold plunge after.
It feels good.

Speaker 65 It's so good.

Speaker 72 But it hurts so nice. I don't know.
I have never.

Speaker 11 If you get super, super hot.

Speaker 71 Yeah, you get the tingles. It's good.

Speaker 98 Like, I've never. It feels good.

Speaker 11 Your body feels good. There's great utility to it.

Speaker 59 It's like shock to the system.

Speaker 140 All I know is that I used to do it all the time before it was like everyone said how good it is.

Speaker 99 And it was like widely considered like one of the worst parts of our week when like everyone everyone on our team had to do a cold plunge.

Speaker 115 And then out of nowhere, it has just become widely known as like the best thing that people are like paying to go do for luxury.

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 60 And I just, I've never, I haven't done it since like the post-hype thing of cold plunges.

Speaker 143 And I still look at it like I fucking used to dread doing the cold plunges.

Speaker 95 And it was not enjoyable.

Speaker 93 Before, during, or after.

Speaker 111 Well, there's one part that's enjoyable about the cold plunge.

Speaker 52 You don't look as fat when you get out.

Speaker 94 Yes.

Speaker 90 I used to say that tightening.

Speaker 100 I always am like, oh my God, I'm not that fat.

Speaker 116 Yeah.

Speaker 98 That was another thing with me and my friends of what that was the one thing I was like, I'm going to go tighten up, get some really cold water, and it just tightens up your body.

Speaker 18 I think the narrative around cold plunges changed when like super wealthy, powerful people started doing them. And it's the same thing like when they do the water fasts.

Speaker 18 Their life is so easy that they like to do something that makes them feel pain or uncomfortable. And they're like, look what I overcame today.
I spent seven minutes in a cold plunge. Correct.

Speaker 18 And then they start talking about it. And then people that want to become super powerful are like, I'm going to start doing that because I have a growth mindset.
I heard about this on a podcast. Yeah.

Speaker 18 And I think that's how they get, but it does feel good, Tank's point. If you do a sauna, then cold plunge, that's a good feeling.

Speaker 11 I would not do a cold plunge without the sauna.

Speaker 112 Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 11 That's a

Speaker 147 we go with the funny pick, the pick that made you laugh.

Speaker 72 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 138 It's not a good pick.

Speaker 106 It's not a good one.

Speaker 112 Well, huh?

Speaker 18 I I think the other one is just a better pick.

Speaker 136 But the other one that made me laugh is very fun.

Speaker 46 Make us laugh.

Speaker 148 There's there.

Speaker 61 Make us laugh.

Speaker 145 Okay, this one there isn't even that much hype around.

Speaker 62 Oh.

Speaker 95 Don't do it.

Speaker 94 I think we got to do it.

Speaker 11 I think we got to.

Speaker 11 Yeah. Toothpaste out of the tooth.
Yeah.

Speaker 92 Daily vitamins. Don't get it.

Speaker 77 Don't get it.

Speaker 139 People are like, oh, yeah,

Speaker 139 before I do anything, I got to make sure I take zinc and blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 143 I'm like, what does that do?

Speaker 139 Yeah. Like, it doesn't, they're not even like weight loss pills.

Speaker 72 They're just

Speaker 18 the best thing it does, it makes your pee like neon orange.

Speaker 119 Yeah, I just got great pee.

Speaker 60 If we're truly talking about things that like people need to do for their daily routine that I don't get,

Speaker 129 don't get.

Speaker 11 But some people actually get like prescribed.

Speaker 130 Well, that's no, no, no.

Speaker 86 I'm talking about like

Speaker 144 the multi-like multivitamin.

Speaker 18 Some women take a vitamin every day to not have a baby.

Speaker 94 Is that a vitamin?

Speaker 46 Do you think like

Speaker 57 do you think like someone who has like cancer taking like chemo pills, like that's a daily vitamin?

Speaker 72 No, no, no.

Speaker 11 But I think there's utility. Like I think that's another pick definitely with proven utility.
For sure.

Speaker 129 I know I don't really.

Speaker 11 I've bought, I've definitely gone to, like, I have a lot of daily vitamins.

Speaker 72 Oh, we've all dabbled.

Speaker 11 I don't take them daily.

Speaker 139 But what do they do?

Speaker 148 I don't understand what they actually do.

Speaker 60 If you're truly talking about things that I don't understand,

Speaker 88 don't understand.

Speaker 18 I think your body uses like maybe fish oil.

Speaker 86 The amount of times I've bought fish oil.

Speaker 72 What does fish oil mean? Yeah,

Speaker 18 I think that's good for you.

Speaker 77 Take it up your deck.

Speaker 11 It's great for you. Great for your skin or something.

Speaker 18 But even if you're like a professional bodybuilder and you take that big, like the ones that come in the big pouch that have 12 pills in them, your body probably only uses 5% of those vitamins.

Speaker 18 And the rest is just, you're going to piss it out.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 22 Okay, good pick.

Speaker 134 Finish. You guys have a pick and then I'll.

Speaker 11 I'm going safe, PFT.

Speaker 11 I don't want to say that.

Speaker 95 No, come on.

Speaker 62 You can't go safe.

Speaker 139 We had such a safe. We won't crazy.

Speaker 71 We could have gone.

Speaker 88 We won't go safe PFT.

Speaker 106 Yeah, got it.

Speaker 70 All right, I got the ball. We'll all go crazy.

Speaker 18 Butt stuff.

Speaker 142 Don't get, I don't get the hype.

Speaker 142 That's where you poop. Yeah.

Speaker 90 No, I like I don't want to get similar.

Speaker 60 It's similar to titty fucking.

Speaker 18 I don't want to

Speaker 71 get my hands.

Speaker 127 It is.

Speaker 54 Not even close.

Speaker 31 It's not titty fucking.

Speaker 61 Titty fucking not where you

Speaker 9 don't poop out of your butt.

Speaker 18 Don't lump that in with titty fucking.

Speaker 94 I will lump it in with titty.

Speaker 142 You poop out of your butt.

Speaker 18 I don't want to put my fingers or anything else in there. I don't want you putting your stuff where my poop is.

Speaker 108 I agree.

Speaker 68 I feel like half of the people who...

Speaker 18 There's a perfectly good hold next door.

Speaker 72 Yeah, I see. I think exactly.

Speaker 87 No, it's not.

Speaker 108 You don't poop out of your chest.

Speaker 88 Maybe fair, hum.

Speaker 49 I think like...

Speaker 54 A lot of the dudes that say, like, oh,

Speaker 31 I'm going to get anal tonight, they're just saying that because they think it's like what was established as like the crazy thing.

Speaker 116 It's like, like why just fuck the pussy dude just have sex just put it in the pussy you know what's really good sex yeah they normal sex works great it works uh you an anal guy no okay

Speaker 86 that would have been so

Speaker 86 good

Speaker 9 yes yeah

Speaker 150 i only only i can only come anal

Speaker 107 all right uh i think we go with our fourth rounder that we said that that

Speaker 89 it's not really we're having fun.

Speaker 72 We're having fourth function.

Speaker 72 I mean,

Speaker 107 you know which one we were talking about.

Speaker 116 Yes. Where'd it go?

Speaker 109 What number?

Speaker 18 Also, on butt stuff real quick, remember when ass eating was like the super popular thing?

Speaker 18 That's weird. I feel like that was just people trying to trick us to do it.
Yeah. Like, do you like to put your tongue in somebody else's butthole where their poop is?

Speaker 149 I'm sh I don't get it.

Speaker 5 I really don't get it.

Speaker 70 No, I don't either.

Speaker 95 I agree. I don't either.

Speaker 43 I'm sure there'll be some people who are going to tell us like we don't understand the importance of this thing, and there's all this deep shit that we don't get, and it was the first of its kind.

Speaker 111 We don't understand the hype of the Mona Lisa whatsoever.

Speaker 151 It's a fucking chick, and she's ugly.

Speaker 24 I don't get it.

Speaker 26 And people line up for hours to see it.

Speaker 151 It's a fucking painting.

Speaker 4 It's so dumb.

Speaker 38 It's so hyped.

Speaker 108 Why is it the Mona Lisa?

Speaker 6 Everyone's like, oh, it's the Mona Lisa.

Speaker 64 That's like the number one painting.

Speaker 148 It sucks. It's a shitty painting.

Speaker 18 She's got a smile, Big Hat.

Speaker 46 Dude, it's a a shitty painting.

Speaker 11 It's structurally by the numbers, paint by numbers, it's perfect.

Speaker 1 It's the shittiest painting.

Speaker 27 If you put that up in my house, it'd be like, take it down.

Speaker 97 She's ugly.

Speaker 131 I don't understand it.

Speaker 42 And people hype it.

Speaker 152 Like, I mean, they say, like, oh, that's like the mono.

Speaker 100 They prepare other things.

Speaker 18 No, I haven't seen it.

Speaker 139 I mean, I've seen a picture of it.

Speaker 18 I've seen it. And

Speaker 18 it kind of sucks. You wait for it.

Speaker 18 No, it's like it's a tiny ass picture. You're in a giant room with like 400 other people that are trying to get close to it.
Some people are crying because they're looking at it. It's crazy.

Speaker 18 Yeah, it's weird. It's so weird.

Speaker 111 And it's like, I mean, I went to Paris and I saw the line at the Louvre and I was like, no, I'm not going to wait in line because I just don't get the hype of it.

Speaker 62 What is the

Speaker 72 fucking thing?

Speaker 77 It's a fucking stupid ass pain.

Speaker 92 I honestly think all going, waiting in line to see anything.

Speaker 126 Like

Speaker 92 waiting in line to see,

Speaker 144 I don't know. People wait in line to see the Liberty Bell.

Speaker 98 I don't give a fuck about that.

Speaker 115 It's a fucking bell.

Speaker 148 You don't have to wait in line. I hate the bean.

Speaker 126 Whenever anyone comes to visit Chicago, they always want to visit the bean, and I yell at them every time.

Speaker 143 I'm like, it's a fucking bean.

Speaker 18 You yell at them?

Speaker 93 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 131 I get angry.

Speaker 18 I'm like, we're not going. You better lined up outside the bean.
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 9 There's no line for the bean.

Speaker 11 No, I hate the bean.

Speaker 143 I think I was just talking to one of them about how much I hate the bean.

Speaker 8 I hate because it's the one thing that everyone wants to do when they visit.

Speaker 60 And it's so annoying to get to.

Speaker 139 You have to go through the worst part of the city.

Speaker 148 And it just sucks.

Speaker 139 It's a fucking bean. You go look at the bean and then you turn around.

Speaker 70 It's like, all right.

Speaker 18 You're talking about the Mona Lisa still? Yeah.

Speaker 61 All right.

Speaker 109 This is when we can really piss some people off because we got a lot of hat.

Speaker 62 My bad, I hijacked.

Speaker 18 I like the passion, Max. I just forgot.

Speaker 100 We got a lot of honorable mentions.

Speaker 65 Let's piss some people off.

Speaker 100 Okay.

Speaker 40 Who wants to start?

Speaker 80 We only had a few.

Speaker 52 Oh, really? We have so many.

Speaker 11 Las Vegas, having kids, feathered eyebrows.

Speaker 62 Okay. Pickleball.

Speaker 70 Pickleball. Having kids.
Pickleball.

Speaker 18 Yeah. Having kids would have made a lot of people.
Yeah.

Speaker 65 Pickleball we had as well.

Speaker 122 All right.

Speaker 65 I'll piss it. We'll piss some people off.

Speaker 152 I mean, the Royal family never got the hype ever.

Speaker 95 Yeah.

Speaker 111 Don't get the hype on Elon Musk's rockets.

Speaker 80 Yeah. I just don't get it.

Speaker 72 They're impressive.

Speaker 109 I don't get the hype, though.

Speaker 18 The one that they caught that they re-caught, that was kind of cool.

Speaker 150 Along those lines, I don't get the hype of the Cybertruck.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I agree with that.

Speaker 72 I don't get the hype.

Speaker 52 This one was Zach's last night, and I agree.

Speaker 83 It's very funny.

Speaker 152 Zach, go ahead.

Speaker 59 Why don't you sit here?

Speaker 100 I'll tell you the number.

Speaker 103 8-9.

Speaker 65 Oh, yeah, conditioner.

Speaker 72 I don't get conditioner.

Speaker 141 He doesn't get the the hype of conditioner.

Speaker 70 Probably don't need it.

Speaker 128 Yeah, for short hair, I used to think that, and now that you have long hair, like conditioner is very important.

Speaker 37 Yeah, okay, gotta have it.

Speaker 113 So I'm just out of the loop on that.

Speaker 88 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 64 What do you guys think about, we were clowning in the mega bed last night.

Speaker 121 We don't get the hype on scooters.

Speaker 6 You look like a fucking idiot on a scooter.

Speaker 80 Yeah.

Speaker 18 It's just marginally faster than walking.

Speaker 7 Yeah, but it's just like you look stupid.

Speaker 100 I don't know.

Speaker 74 An adult man on a scooter looks dumb to me.

Speaker 115 Yeah, it definitely looks dumb.

Speaker 98 I do use scooters often if I.

Speaker 101 You do?

Speaker 128 If I like want to get somewhere quicker than walking.

Speaker 97 Yeah.

Speaker 11 I'd rather do a scooter than a bike if it's close. Yeah.

Speaker 151 Matcha?

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Never understood that. I've recently started coming around to matcha.

Speaker 128 I've never had it. I don't understand it.

Speaker 7 Boba tea.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 72 I feel like that's not as hyped as it used as it always was.

Speaker 62 Okay.

Speaker 53 Aged whiskey.

Speaker 22 Don't get the hype.

Speaker 34 Wine too.

Speaker 100 Don't get the hype.

Speaker 67 Do you guys get the hype? I like whiskey.

Speaker 83 Okay.

Speaker 74 Like the like, oh, this bottle's been yeah, no, I've never

Speaker 18 the taste of good whiskey. Some whiskey is better than others yeah i don't think like the number of years necessarily means anything uh disney world was one that zach

Speaker 59 yeah i don't understand the hype of disney world

Speaker 59 it's like people go through like with no kids at 30 40 50 years old they just like they're like we're doing one vacation a year it's disney world every year this is what we're gonna do i don't understand yeah i think there's marvel it's same people that are like get hype those same people are like marvel movies like this is gonna be the biggest night of my life it's like year 40.

Speaker 18 yeah yeah there's some people that go to disney world and they they like going there because the food's good and like the accommodations are good. Okay.

Speaker 18 And they know they're going to have a good time. But then there's the Disney adults, which I think you're talking about, which is like,

Speaker 18 this is the only place I go.

Speaker 59 And I love it.

Speaker 18 And it's immersive. It's transformative.
And I'm just going to be a Disney guy. That's what I do.

Speaker 18 I get mad. If you get mad about Disney making changes to some of their routes.
Correct. Like it's ruining your childhood or whatever it is.
Yeah, that's, I don't get the hype on that.

Speaker 81 Champagne?

Speaker 31 Yeah, that's a good one. I just don't think it's that, like,

Speaker 121 the fact that champagne is the be-all, like, we just did something awesome.

Speaker 6 Let's get a glass of champagne.

Speaker 32 There's just so many better drinks.

Speaker 41 Yeah.

Speaker 16 I just don't get the hype on it.

Speaker 72 It's just fun to pop. I don't.

Speaker 11 That's probably the only reason.

Speaker 18 If you poured me a bottle of Cristal or a glass of Cristal and then you poured me a glass of Andre, I don't think I'd be able to tell it apart.

Speaker 111 Yeah, or if you like, if you're like, hey, do you want a Cristal or do you want a beer or a Truly Unruly or like a mixed drink?

Speaker 54 I'd take the others all day.

Speaker 54 Seafood Towers.

Speaker 71 Oh, I like

Speaker 72 that.

Speaker 62 Harris gas.

Speaker 130 Yeah, that that pick.

Speaker 46 I always think it's too much.

Speaker 9 I always think it's too much.

Speaker 112 Too much?

Speaker 62 It's never enough. All right.

Speaker 9 All right. You want another one?

Speaker 62 You want another one?

Speaker 137 Let's get another one off that?

Speaker 11 Terrible pick.

Speaker 26 Lobster.

Speaker 118 I'm with that.

Speaker 119 I just, I kind of agree on that one.

Speaker 46 I don't really get the hype.

Speaker 49 Like, lobster rolls are good, but like, the actual, like, getting a lobster, have to crack it and all that shit.

Speaker 11 Don't really get the hype. In the right setting, it's an elite, though.
Yeah. Sometime lobster.

Speaker 18 I would say lobster might be the weakest part of the seafood tower. Yeah.

Speaker 71 The seafood towers are.

Speaker 139 The the seafood.

Speaker 143 If you're at a dinner

Speaker 60 and someone is like, yeah, let's get the seafood tower.

Speaker 52 I have more ones that are going to piss people off,

Speaker 111 including in this room.

Speaker 111 This one I couldn't pick because I used it last night, but mouth tape. I only used it because I thought I was getting a sore throat.

Speaker 150 I didn't want to breathe out of my mouth, but I don't get the hype of mouth tape.

Speaker 18 I don't never used it. Never will.

Speaker 147 I use it because I think that it helps with my snoring. I don't think it does.

Speaker 57 Zach, why don't you say 19 and 24?

Speaker 32 Because those were yours.

Speaker 59 19 was scary movies. I don't understand showing up somewhere or paying to get scared.

Speaker 11 Great, great call.

Speaker 97 Yeah, that's a good one. I like that one.

Speaker 18 Did you get scared, Hank? Yeah.

Speaker 18 I just don't, I don't get the hype because they don't really scare me.

Speaker 11 I don't like being on that, like a tense.

Speaker 59 Yeah. On edge the entire time, like hours at a time.
Yeah. All right.
This one was good. I also don't understand the hype of the Kardashians very much.

Speaker 111 No, that wasn't the one.

Speaker 109 Okay, that one's good.

Speaker 62 Good pick.

Speaker 14 Good pick, but the 24.

Speaker 70 Oh,

Speaker 59 oh, being an adult. I don't understand the hype on like being an adult.
Everyone,

Speaker 59 growing up, everyone's like, I can't wait to get older, get older, get older. And I'm like, why are we rushing these things? Like, everyone just always wants to jump ahead to getting older.

Speaker 59 And it's like, let's just slow it down. Let's go day by day.
I don't get the hype on everyone wanting to age so quickly.

Speaker 126 So when you were a kid, you would get like upset that you were getting a year older.

Speaker 59 No, I would just ask the other kids, like, why do you guys want to be 25? So, or like 20,

Speaker 59 whatever age it is, they're like, I can't wait to get to this age and do this. I'm like, why don't we just get through like right now?

Speaker 62 Like, everyone's trying to jump so far ahead to being an adult so quick.

Speaker 106 Facts.

Speaker 23 Why this made me laugh was this was said to me last night in a mega bed

Speaker 6 in skeleton pajamas by the guy who just told us that he has his own skeleton pajamas and was embarrassed throwing out the trash because he spilled his Dr.

Speaker 74 Pepper while gaming with his friends.

Speaker 100 You're not an adult.

Speaker 101 Well, I don't like the hype.

Speaker 72 I don't like the hype either.

Speaker 101 It's fair.

Speaker 49 Yeah, it's more, it's not even that you didn't get the hype when you were a kid.

Speaker 105 You don't get the hype right now.

Speaker 123 Like, you don't like being an adult.

Speaker 59 I don't get the hype.

Speaker 72 As you should.

Speaker 9 Fuck it.

Speaker 111 Cole play. Oh, David Goggins don't get the hype.

Speaker 111 I just don't get the hype of like listening to a podcast and being like, now I'm motivated to like be alpha.

Speaker 11 Not a podcast, but the hype videos, a David Goggins hype

Speaker 65 video. Not for me.

Speaker 18 Fire me up. What does it make you fired up to do?

Speaker 11 Anything.

Speaker 18 Like the possibilities? Yeah.

Speaker 11 Go to the gym. Go shoot a gray run of golf.

Speaker 18 Can you do one? Like, I don't think I've ever watched one.

Speaker 32 Burn the boats.

Speaker 51 I can't do one.

Speaker 112 What does he say?

Speaker 125 He's like, I couldn't walk.

Speaker 95 Yeah.

Speaker 72 They said I was never going to walk.

Speaker 16 He's just always running and like.

Speaker 72 He ran 525 miles in a row.

Speaker 11 And there's crazy music and like a bunch of.

Speaker 86 It's great.

Speaker 64 What about

Speaker 150 tasting menus?

Speaker 19 Don't get the hype.

Speaker 22 I hate them.

Speaker 18 I like those. Sometimes you want to be told what to eat.

Speaker 107 But I just want a meal.

Speaker 111 I don't like having little bites. I want the full meal.

Speaker 148 No, but it's good because

Speaker 99 if you go to a really good one, they like space it out perfectly that you're hungry enough for every bite and you never get like it's like the perfect amount of full.

Speaker 122 I also don't get the hype of Michelin star-rated restaurants.

Speaker 120 Well, that's like the same thing.

Speaker 93 Yeah, I know.

Speaker 122 Every time I go, I'm just like, I love that.

Speaker 128 I love that stuff.

Speaker 33 You're foodie?

Speaker 72 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 133 Really?

Speaker 72 I've been to like

Speaker 91 five chef's tasting menus in Chicago.

Speaker 138 They're really good.

Speaker 115 Cassamba is my favorite one so far.

Speaker 9 He's answering this, honestly.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I know.

Speaker 18 Max Love's food. What can I say?

Speaker 51 Oh, got it. Fat.

Speaker 18 No, I'm saying you're a little gourmand.

Speaker 109 Well, those. You are a gourmand.

Speaker 131 I don't know what a gourmand is.

Speaker 18 A man with fancy taste.

Speaker 115 I like good meals.

Speaker 88 Yeah.

Speaker 26 I don't get the hype of Lucas' diet.

Speaker 65 He's just going to get fat again.

Speaker 141 I don't.

Speaker 72 I don't get the hype.

Speaker 62 He is.

Speaker 70 You know, like, he's 27 years old.

Speaker 44 He is what he is.

Speaker 6 He's going to get fat again.

Speaker 18 Yeah, I mean, if he doesn't have the entire internet shaming him all at once, he's going to get real comfortable.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 46 He's going to by February.

Speaker 49 He's going to gain the weight back.

Speaker 18 I'll do a milkshake.

Speaker 118 As someone who yo-yos, like, it's just what it happens.

Speaker 118 I don't get the hype of Ibiza, but I've also never been.

Speaker 98 I'm pretty sure Ibiza is fucking off.

Speaker 127 Okay, all right.

Speaker 65 I think it'd be awesome if you're in your early teens.

Speaker 129 Yes.

Speaker 128 And it's just like you party all night, all the time in the most beautiful place in the world.

Speaker 72 I feel like

Speaker 98 is probably an awesome experience.

Speaker 6 Okay, I don't get the hype of mom jeans, that trend that like girls are wearing those.

Speaker 152 I don't get the hype.

Speaker 54 It's like, but why would you wear jeans that are like kind of uglier looking?

Speaker 18 Yeah, forced frumpiness. Yeah.

Speaker 111 All right. I got my two really controversial ones.

Speaker 58 You want them? One's a person, one's a thing.

Speaker 32 Which one do you want first?

Speaker 93 Person.

Speaker 22 This is gonna,

Speaker 87 I will change my opinion on this

Speaker 123 because

Speaker 31 I think he's very talented.

Speaker 6 But as it stands right now,

Speaker 150 he's been in like one movie.

Speaker 115 I don't fully get the hype of Shalamay.

Speaker 11 He's been in so many movies.

Speaker 141 I have been in so many movies.

Speaker 62 I have only seen one.

Speaker 82 Yeah. What other ones? The man.

Speaker 109 I saw the Bob Dylan one.

Speaker 149 He was good. Dune.

Speaker 129 Dune. Part one.
Did never saw Dune.

Speaker 11 Call me by your name.

Speaker 6 Never seen it.

Speaker 128 Interstellar.

Speaker 151 Interstellar. He was in Interstellar? Yeah.
What was he?

Speaker 26 Son.

Speaker 62 He was a son.

Speaker 152 Not memorable.

Speaker 144 Ladybird. Yep.

Speaker 90 Okay.

Speaker 28 Listen, I.

Speaker 72 Oh, also, Scalame was like,

Speaker 126 he's an all-time guy.

Speaker 97 He's an all-time sportsman.

Speaker 70 He's very hyped.

Speaker 9 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 70 Sports, Jenner. I said I was a chrome.

Speaker 50 I said it was controversial.

Speaker 143 That's controversial. We were trying very hard to get him on this show.

Speaker 112 I'd say to his head, I don't really understand the hype.

Speaker 150 And then the other one

Speaker 54 is going to get a lot of hate.

Speaker 24 I don't understand the hype of waffle fries.

Speaker 111 I think they're by far the most inferior fry.

Speaker 109 I agree with you. And I don't get when people go crazy about waffle fries.

Speaker 129 Steak fry is the worst fry.

Speaker 37 Who goes crazy about waffle fries?

Speaker 61 People love waffle fries.

Speaker 18 I like waffle fries.

Speaker 72 I like waffle fries.

Speaker 115 Chick-fil-A fries are average, and people will say that they're like the best fries ever.

Speaker 61 Best.

Speaker 107 They're average. I think they're below average.

Speaker 11 Sweet potato waffle fries.

Speaker 86 Yeah. Oh, no.

Speaker 18 Why do you got to bring sweet potato into everything?

Speaker 20 They're great.

Speaker 49 Yeah, I just.

Speaker 18 No, I mean, if I had to choose, I would go crinkle cut, and then I would probably go shoestring, then I'd go waffle, then I'd go regular, and then way, way, way dead, dead last steak fry.

Speaker 133 Curly fries. Curly is.

Speaker 106 Curly, curly. Curly.

Speaker 62 Curly's up there, too.

Speaker 91 i was waiting for you i i was

Speaker 144 i was ready to explode if you were gonna say way way way yeah yeah curly

Speaker 48 curly fries are great i also don't get the hype of cowboy boots they're just uncomfortable never worn them yeah they can be useful yeah do you guys have any others memes memes got a bunch uh the one one pick i think would have been tick tock influencers or celebrity relationships

Speaker 150 uh i had murder on there just don't understand it what do you mean like being like hey why is it so bad you've done it it and you were like, I don't get it.

Speaker 71 No.

Speaker 62 No, like,

Speaker 70 it wasn't that great. Yeah.

Speaker 103 Oh, like, people killing people.

Speaker 120 Don't get it.

Speaker 72 Pumpkin spice.

Speaker 118 Actually, that's a pretty good pick because you're right.

Speaker 123 Like, why would you, why are you so mad you'd murder someone?

Speaker 59 Yeah, just like walking down the street. It's just like, bang.

Speaker 65 Like, that's crazy. It's like, who cares?

Speaker 11 It's one game.

Speaker 94 Filtered selfies.

Speaker 134 He's just got a fucking stubbed toe, dude.

Speaker 100 You don't need to murder anyone.

Speaker 153 NFTs.

Speaker 61 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 72 K-pop.

Speaker 89 Yep.

Speaker 10 Good pick.

Speaker 120 Max had preseason football.

Speaker 51 Okay.

Speaker 120 I like preseason football for teams who suck.

Speaker 59 Taylor Shift on New Heights.

Speaker 22 Oh, like that.

Speaker 153 And Game of Thrones.

Speaker 51 Oh,

Speaker 74 damn.

Speaker 18 Game of Thrones is a good one. Game of Thrones just

Speaker 72 hot right now.

Speaker 11 You can't really

Speaker 11 so bad, I wouldn't really sell it to someone.

Speaker 11 But when it was going, the hype was so fucked up. I watched it.

Speaker 91 I tell people that I watched two seasons and

Speaker 96 never watched it again so many times and they just never understand.

Speaker 18 I got two shows that piss some people off.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 106 Go for it.

Speaker 18 No, Sopranos is great. Worth every hype.

Speaker 67 The Bear.

Speaker 90 Yeah, that

Speaker 131 people are turning on The Bear now.

Speaker 45 The Bear, season one, pretty good.

Speaker 18 Everything else?

Speaker 93 Yeah, no, I think this is a popular takeover.

Speaker 119 Okay, all right.

Speaker 18 My other is Ted Lasso.

Speaker 94 Yeah, well, I like Ted.

Speaker 109 Ted, I don't understand the hype.

Speaker 18 Don't understand the hype.

Speaker 120 It's so true.

Speaker 78 It's too heartwarming. Yeah.

Speaker 18 My cynical brain

Speaker 18 is not ready to watch a show. First two seasons are really

Speaker 91 pure.

Speaker 128 It is a perfect show to watch right before bed to get you in a good mindset before bed. So like that,

Speaker 98 for that reason, Ted Lasso is fantastic, but for it to be like...

Speaker 128 I get what you're saying of like ME Award, bubble, this, this, and that.

Speaker 93 Yeah. It's not that.

Speaker 143 It's just a feel-good.

Speaker 92 It's basically, it's like a sitcom.

Speaker 115 It's a feel-good sitcom, and that, and it should be treated as such.

Speaker 18 Friends.

Speaker 16 Yeah, I don't get the hype on that.

Speaker 100 I don't get the hype on AI.

Speaker 52 I feel like at best it's going to just ruin everyone's life, except for a few people who will make all the money.

Speaker 100 Yep.

Speaker 18 That's what's going to.

Speaker 24 And

Speaker 32 I don't get why anyone is pro-AI.

Speaker 18 The people that are making AI are like, hey, we need to slow down with AI. This is going to be really bad.
Right. And it's like, dude, you run the company that makes AI.
Right. You just stopped it.

Speaker 90 Right. So

Speaker 6 I don't understand anyone who's

Speaker 150 saying saying

Speaker 22 this is incredible what they're doing, the work they're doing with AI.

Speaker 65 I feel like this could be really bad for everyone.

Speaker 18 I think their mindset is like, well, I have to do it because if I don't do it, someone else is going to. Yeah.

Speaker 104 Yeah.

Speaker 95 Or does nobody do it?

Speaker 18 Does everyone stop doing it?

Speaker 62 Running. Like running.

Speaker 106 Running. Yep.

Speaker 72 You love doing that.

Speaker 100 No, miles.

Speaker 34 Miles.

Speaker 91 You just texted me two days ago.

Speaker 97 You're like, I just ran three miles.

Speaker 141 It sucks. Memes runs a lot.

Speaker 115 And then for some reason, every time he finishes a run, he's just like, I just ran this many miles.

Speaker 141 It sucks.

Speaker 26 It's the worst.

Speaker 46 It is the worst.

Speaker 106 I think anything over a mile is overhyped.

Speaker 61 Yeah.

Speaker 136 Maybe even like 100 yards.

Speaker 132 Do you have any others, Zach?

Speaker 59 Running is bad. Running is very bad.

Speaker 125 Yeah.

Speaker 59 Overhyped. Something else I think that might be overhyped is

Speaker 59 I'm going to go with.

Speaker 32 Zach had Korean barbecue.

Speaker 101 I am overhyped. I don't understand

Speaker 72 food. Yeah, I do too.

Speaker 6 I said no because I do understand the hype because I like it.

Speaker 115 I almost took it after you said it.

Speaker 84 That would have been

Speaker 150 fucked up.

Speaker 52 Helping you understand how to do it.

Speaker 128 It's an excellent pick because cooking your own food when you're at a restaurant.

Speaker 106 Why? I don't understand it.

Speaker 18 I kind of like it better than hibachi.

Speaker 62 Definitely. Oh.
Yeah.

Speaker 106 Good Korean barbecue.

Speaker 18 Well, it's so good.

Speaker 109 I don't know, man.

Speaker 82 Hibachi is so good.

Speaker 128 Well, if you go to a good Korean barbecue place, the guy will come to your table and cook it for you.

Speaker 120 Yeah.

Speaker 126 That I'm in on.

Speaker 147 I'm just out on cooking my own food.

Speaker 59 So they've got Korean barbecue where you don't cook it and you eat it. Yes.

Speaker 115 That's like upscale Korean.

Speaker 59 I was unaware of those places. I've actually seen the ones where you craft your own meal.

Speaker 109 Remember

Speaker 18 Bonchong was so good.

Speaker 62 So good.

Speaker 18 What about dressing fashionably?

Speaker 101 Might be a personal one.

Speaker 109 I don't know.

Speaker 49 Yeah, I think.

Speaker 72 I don't get it.

Speaker 119 I get it.

Speaker 109 Oh, you want to look nice?

Speaker 118 Yeah, I get the hype.

Speaker 109 I get the hype on that one.

Speaker 54 I can't do it, but I get the hype on that one.

Speaker 148 I wish I could do it.

Speaker 31 Yeah, I wish I could pull it off.

Speaker 18 Like spending minutes at a time thinking about what you're going to wear that day.

Speaker 12 Why?

Speaker 18 Or why don't you just go into your closet when it's dark and then grab the two things that are closest to you and put those on?

Speaker 111 I don't get the hype on like super expensive clothes.

Speaker 52 Like when someone's like, oh, he's got like a $3,000 like bomber jacket on.

Speaker 109 It's like, what?

Speaker 113 Why?

Speaker 94 You can go to the gap.

Speaker 106 Right.

Speaker 113 You just get one for like forever 21.

Speaker 109 It's the same.

Speaker 18 Take you to Salvation Army. Yeah.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 35 Good Mount Rushmore. Yeah.

Speaker 111 I feel like that was good.

Speaker 26 Gonna piss some people off, but that's fun.

Speaker 103 Open-ended. Definitely.

Speaker 59 There's gonna be some upset people for sure.

Speaker 123 Being an adult is so funny. You just hate being an adult.
I just

Speaker 59 get the hype on it.

Speaker 64 You're like roofy. But I understand being an adult.

Speaker 59 I just don't understand why everyone wanted to rush there so quickly.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 52 But you're more, but that's what I'm saying. Like, you don't.

Speaker 121 It wasn't like you rushing there to get quickly. You're just mad that you're an adult now.

Speaker 59 I'm not mad at it. I just not all the aspects are the best.
Yeah.

Speaker 18 What would you say is like the perfect age if you were to freeze yourself at one age?

Speaker 59 I like 27. Yeah, I like 27 so far.
What?

Speaker 71 27 is cool.

Speaker 90 Wait, no, but what about

Speaker 72 20% though?

Speaker 51 I think

Speaker 18 nine is a pretty good age.

Speaker 52 I think nine might be the perfect age where you still haven't figured out like girls and it's just you and your boys and you're playing, doing fun shit.

Speaker 152 You're not like

Speaker 16 there's like bullying doesn't really exist.

Speaker 31 You're not like self-conscious that much.

Speaker 123 Nine.

Speaker 18 I would say

Speaker 18 I think 17.

Speaker 18 17 though, like you're not legally responsible for

Speaker 61 everything.

Speaker 18 Yeah, but there's like you can get away with fun shit, like reckless, illegal activities.

Speaker 11 19 because you're like an adult. College knocks anything out of you for at least two to three years.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 90 This would be a good Rushmore. Yeah.

Speaker 120 Rushmore eventually.

Speaker 70 That's ages.

Speaker 55 All right, let's get you

Speaker 82 Coach Gruden.

Speaker 19 Now, here's John Gruden.

Speaker 63 okay we now welcome on many time recurring guest our good good friend colleague it is coach john grudin and it's about to be football season and coach we figured we're all here down in uh missouri together let's get you on let's get us pumped for football uh let's start with right now this is the time do you do you have a little bit of an itch do you are you feeling an itch i saw some quotes do you want to go coach in the sec is this the time of year where you're like, man,

Speaker 70 I want to get back out there?

Speaker 4 This is the best time of year if you're a coach. I mean, you practice twice a day.
You meet all night. Everybody's undefeated.
All the players are competing for jobs. You got a new nucleus of players.

Speaker 4 You got new free agents, draft picks. It's just exciting putting your team together and taking the next step.
And I've had a chance to visit some really cool camps. I can't wait till we kick it off.

Speaker 18 So down at the FFCA, the Fired Football Coaches Association, I know that you guys have, you've got your film rooms, you got your grease boards, you've got everything there. Do you have whistles?

Speaker 18 Do you still blow a whistle every now and again?

Speaker 71 No. Do you miss it?

Speaker 4 I never really used a whistle. You know, I was a quality control coach.

Speaker 4 I was the guy that had the whistle, that blew the whistle for the play to end or quit fighting or whatever, or the horn blows for the next period. I was the horn guy.

Speaker 4 But now when you become the head coach, that's one of the good things. You just say, hey, blow the whistle or hit the horn.

Speaker 71 I like that.

Speaker 73 Did you ever accidentally hit the horn?

Speaker 4 Oh, shit. I've made a lot of mistakes, probably.
Yeah.

Speaker 18 Did you ever jump into a pile to stop a fight?

Speaker 4 No, I never did that. We did have a quarterback kind of get involved one day, and I got involved there, but nothing stupid.
No.

Speaker 82 All right.

Speaker 30 So, from our perspective, the fans' perspective, how much stock should we take in preseason?

Speaker 20 Both reports from camp and also the actual games?

Speaker 30 Should we be staying calm? Like if I'm reading something and it's like, oh, Caleb Williams is overwhelmed or this guy's not looking looking good,

Speaker 88 how much do you actually take stock in what the reports are out of camp?

Speaker 4 Yeah, not very much. Okay, good.
No, I really don't. I think

Speaker 4 you're in the teaching phase.

Speaker 4 You're looking at different lineups, different combinations. It's hard.
I remember the Indianapolis Colts might have been the worst preseason team I have ever seen.

Speaker 4 And Peyton Manning, and the Colts would come out of the shoot and win five straight.

Speaker 4 So I don't put a lot of stock in the preseason games,

Speaker 4 but you go see practice like I did. I went to Baltimore.
I went to Detroit. I saw Tampa Scrimmage, Tennessee live.
You get a better indication.

Speaker 58 Who was the most impressive out of all the camps you've been to?

Speaker 4 Well, Baltimore and Detroit are really good teams. Yeah.
You know, Baltimore is the real deal. Hardball has established a culture, a winning edge of an environment.

Speaker 4 And they have this sign that says play like a raven. They play their asses off, man.
They prepare really good. And I love Dan Campbell, man.
I don't like this guy. I love him.

Speaker 4 The Lions have exactly what you're looking for when it comes to attitude, work ethic, and Groot and Grinders.

Speaker 50 This might be a dumb question.

Speaker 45 When you're taking over a program, how long would you say it takes to change the culture?

Speaker 4 Well, you got to change the coaching staff. You got to make changes on the roster.
You got to have your leaders on your team be the best players. That's when you have a great culture.

Speaker 4 When you go through the locker room and your best players are the best workers and the leaders on the team. Those are the cultures that work.

Speaker 81 Is there a sign when you can feel like, all right, the culture's changed?

Speaker 30 Maybe not from a win, but just like the vibe in the locker room. Can you feel it?

Speaker 152 Like, hey, we've done it.

Speaker 43 We've, we've, we've changed this.

Speaker 16 We've molded this in the John Gruden culture.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I, I can feel it.

Speaker 73 No doubt. Do you have a moment that you remember whether

Speaker 4 well, we had to establish the culture really two different times with the Raiders. The first time, there were four players in the offseason program.
No one wanted to even be in the building.

Speaker 4 I remember Chester McLaughlin came into me. He says, you better trade me because I'm going to kick down every block you build.
We had a bad thing going there.

Speaker 4 But when we got Rich Gannon, he came in with this glass-eating barbed wire attitude, man.

Speaker 4 He was a really game-changing locker room, playmaking presence badass. And when you get that and you get another one,

Speaker 4 it starts to... gravitate that way.
And really, it all starts.

Speaker 4 If you have the quarterback, the signal caller on defense, the head coach, everybody speaking and breathing the same fire, you got a chance.

Speaker 18 I remember Bill Parcels said, like, change everything about the building. Change the carpets out.
Did you ever do that? Did you like redecorate? And you're like, we got to do something.

Speaker 18 Maybe get a new receptionist right up front. First person you see, have it be different?

Speaker 4 Well, to a degree. You know, I don't think that wins you games.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to argue with the great Bill Parcells, but I remember Ray Perkins, when he got the Tampa Bay job, he put the Bucs on the different side of the field. And people said, don't do that.

Speaker 4 That's the sun side, man. The sun sets on the visitors.

Speaker 4 Sometimes you make changes for the sake of making changes.

Speaker 4 It may backfire on you, but you have to make changes, but you got to fix the roster. You got to fix the system of football that you're running and how we practice and prepare.

Speaker 18 So I want to know more about Detroit because they're fascinating to me. They lost both their coordinators this offseason.
Dan Campbell is an offensive guy.

Speaker 18 Let's not forget, like, he appears to be a defensive guy because he's jacked and he's aggressive. The guy's an offensive guy.
What are they doing to replace Ben Johnson?

Speaker 18 And what do you see in their offense for this year?

Speaker 4 Well, John Morton was there with Ben Johnson, putting the offense in. John Morton was with us.
He was with Sean Payton, with the Broncos. He's a hell of a coach.

Speaker 4 Morton has been in Detroit with Dan Campbell, laying the foundation of the offense that Ben Johnson called. What Detroit has is, like you said, Dan Campbell.
A lot of people don't realize.

Speaker 4 I was there. He sits in the offensive meetings.
He's calling the plays. He's all over the execution of the entire offense, run game, pass protection, the routes.

Speaker 4 But John Morton, Mark Brunel, they got Montgomery still there, Teshard Choice. All the other coaches are still there.
The big thing the Lions have to address, I think, is Ragnow is gone at center.

Speaker 4 They moved Glasgow into center, and they got two new guards, Mahogany at left guard and a rookie potentially at right guard. That's a challenge, man.

Speaker 3 Yeah, because that's the strength of their team.

Speaker 4 Yes, it is. A quarterback's a drop back passer, right? You know, Big Cat.
He ain't running around dodging and dipping and ducking. He needs a firm pocket.
Taylor Decker's had injuries at left tackle.

Speaker 4 You know, the right tackle is one of the best in the business, but they have some issues on the offensive line they have to prove that they can handle for 17 weeks.

Speaker 46 NFL MVP this year.

Speaker 4 Shit, after seeing Jamar Gibbs, man, I mean,

Speaker 4 Saquon Barkley, how are you going to not say that name? But I just love Joe Burrow. I voted for Burrow last year.

Speaker 71 You love Burrow.

Speaker 61 Well, I should have said that.

Speaker 70 That's what I've been saying.

Speaker 61 This is going to be

Speaker 90 at the Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 I got nervous meeting meeting him.

Speaker 109 I felt like I was meeting

Speaker 4 one of my favorite celebrities in life.

Speaker 77 I wanted to ask for his autograph.

Speaker 4 That's how good his film is, man. I think he should have won the MVP last year, and I know everybody's going to go, ah, I mean, this guy's close to winning a triple crown, man.

Speaker 4 Pass completion percentage, yards, touchdowns, and he gets out of trouble. He is tough as hell, and he's such a cool guy, man.
If they get a good defense, I'm not saying great.

Speaker 4 If they get a good defense and get off to a good start, which they've never done, but they do open with Cleveland and Jacksonville, I think if they win those two games, look out for Burrow and the Bengals.

Speaker 7 And speaking of, we said that, you know, you don't take a lot of stock in training camp, but the Bengals are changing it up this year.

Speaker 114 They're playing Joe Burrow and the starters in preseason now because they've started so slow.

Speaker 61 Which probably should help.

Speaker 4 Don't get Burrow hurt in the preseason, or there'll be a lot of changes in Cincinnati. I don't know how much action I put him through, but they look great against Philly.

Speaker 4 I mean, they went right down the field. Jamar Chase looks good.
How much do you really need to see from them? I hope their defense plays the whole game in a couple of these preseasons.

Speaker 4 They have to fix that side of the ball. Al Golden, the ex-Notre Dame coordinator, is there.
That's going to be interesting to see how it all unfolds.

Speaker 27 Rate this take of how dumb it is.

Speaker 117 Someone in sports media said, We should just not have training camp or preseason.

Speaker 111 They should just go into week one so that way no one gets injured.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's really smart. Yeah.
I mean, look, you're an idiot, right?

Speaker 77 Yeah, well, that's a moron.

Speaker 61 Let's go play the masters.

Speaker 4 Nobody hits a ball. I mean, you got to practice.

Speaker 87 John of Harvey.

Speaker 2 He's not even listening right now.

Speaker 4 Yeah, no, I, uh,

Speaker 104 who said that?

Speaker 61 Who would you think?

Speaker 78 Max said that.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to argue with Max. He'll kick my ass.

Speaker 157 He's a football champion.

Speaker 77 Max.

Speaker 4 You know, I just, I think once you minimize reps, the repetition is the mother of learning. You know, you got a whole new nucleus of players.
You got new free agents.

Speaker 4 You got to look at the Minnesota Vikings. Here's a team that won 14 games last year.
If you put them on paper, they're going to have 15, 10, 15 new starters. I mean, it's a circus in Minnesota.

Speaker 4 And if you're just going to show up and play,

Speaker 137 well,

Speaker 4 I wouldn't be surprised based on what's happening in football.

Speaker 73 Does Aaron Rodgers have anything left?

Speaker 4 I never doubt a guy. I grew up with Bill Walsh, and Bill Walsh used to say, if the guy's played great before, there's a chance he could play great again.
Let's bring him in.

Speaker 70 Bill Walsh. That sounds like a gambler's mother.

Speaker 62 Bill Walsh would bring him in.

Speaker 4 He would bring him in in a second. You know, we got Hacksaw Reynolds, Matt Millen.
A lot of players would come in towards the end of their career and light it up one more time.

Speaker 4 I just don't know about the Steelers' offensive line, man. Yeah.
I mean, they're going to move their right tackle to left tackle.

Speaker 4 The right tackle is going to be the first-round pick from two years ago. They got a young center, a young right guard.
I don't know who the running back is. And let's see.
Hayward wants a new

Speaker 4 contract.

Speaker 4 TJ Watts not getting younger.

Speaker 4 And they got Slay and they got Ramsey. They got some guys.
Do they still have that shutdown

Speaker 4 mentality? They got a lot to prove, but they got the coach.

Speaker 78 That's your guy.

Speaker 4 If they can get off to a good start, it would be huge in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 18 I always feel like with defensive players in Pittsburgh, you just put the jersey on them and they become better. They're just instantly a better player.

Speaker 78 Yeah.

Speaker 43 Have you seen Mike Tomlin since you were sitting next to Jersey Jerry in the gambling cave and he said Mike Tomlin has a pussy for a dick?

Speaker 4 Well, no,

Speaker 4 I try not to.

Speaker 4 When Jersey Jerry's around, man, I think I get a free pass. I think people understand.

Speaker 77 I tried to tell him.

Speaker 29 I remember the moment I was just like, Jerry, Coach and Mike Tomlin are like good, good friends.

Speaker 20 And he just was like, oh, my bad, I guess. But he didn't really care.

Speaker 4 Yeah, no, I like the Steelers. I think the AFC North is going to be interesting.
I think the Bengals, I love the Ravens.

Speaker 4 And I think the Steelers with the crowd they have, the veteran crowd they have, if they can start off good and get some mojo going, it could be interesting.

Speaker 18 What about a surprise team? A team that wasn't great last year, but you think that you would buy stock if they're on the stock market?

Speaker 4 Yeah, team on the rise, I think, is Carolina.

Speaker 18 Yeah. We got them in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 87 Yep.

Speaker 72 We're proud of the drug.

Speaker 4 We meet Bryce Young with Bar Stool Sports at the Super Bowl, and I did not know I liked him as much as I did. And when you look at his last three or four games, five games, it was impressive.

Speaker 4 I love the additions they've made to their team on defense. They get Brown back who was injured.
They get Patrick Jones who can rush the passer from the Vikings.

Speaker 4 They added this big brown nose tackle, Bobby Brown from the Rams.

Speaker 4 Their linebacking core is a concern because Josie Jewell just got hurt, but they can score. They got some guys on their offensive line that will knock your ass off, man.

Speaker 4 They got 2,000-yard backs, Hubbard, and they get this kid from Dallas.

Speaker 71 He had 1,100 yards.

Speaker 4 No one knows his name. So they got 2,000-yard backs, and they got some big-time receivers.

Speaker 18 What about the 49ers? I feel like we haven't talked at all about the 49ers this offseason because they've lost some guys.

Speaker 18 It's kind of a team that's evolving from the teams that we saw making it, you know, deep runs in the playoffs for the past five years. But would you still think that they're going to be a contender?

Speaker 4 They will. They'll be a contender because Purdy, even though he's polarizing to some people, the guy makes plays, man.
He's tough as hell. They got him signed for the long term.

Speaker 4 They got to get Ayuk back, I think. Yeah.
You know, Trent Williams has to be healthy. McCaffrey, I mean, their best players all get hurt at the same time.
Now, they lost seven out of eight games.

Speaker 4 Their defense wasn't very good last year. And getting those kids that they drafted, the big defensive lineman from Georgia in the first round, should be a start.

Speaker 4 Getting Salah back, Salah back as the defensive coordinator. We'll see.
But they lost Hofunga. They lose Dre Greenlaw.
They're in transition a little bit on defense.

Speaker 18 I also want to talk to you about the Rams in that division. So the Rams are really interesting to me because I feel like they played great football football at the end of the season last year.

Speaker 18 They gave the Eagles probably the best test that they had in the playoffs.

Speaker 62 They were a pinky team.

Speaker 61 They were, yeah, they were a pinky team.

Speaker 18 And they seem to be primed and ready to go. Like, obviously, McVay is a great coach, but now Matt Stafford is spending all of his time in like a hyperbaric chamber, not getting on the field.

Speaker 18 And I feel like, obviously, without him, they're not going to be able to do that much this year.

Speaker 18 Have you ever gone into a situation where in training camp, you've got your quarterback and he just hasn't taken a single rep because of injury concerns.

Speaker 18 And then you roll him out there and you say, okay, we're good.

Speaker 4 No, you just said it. I mean, Stafford, he's the key to all the coaches.
I mean, you're a great coach when Matt Stafford's healthy. Yeah.
I saw the Rams without Stafford a couple years ago.

Speaker 4 They're last in the league on third down. They can't make a yard.
Yeah. The Rams are not very good at all without Stafford.
I mean, let's just face it. That guy's a hell of a talent throwing the ball.

Speaker 4 That's a real concern, man. Real concern.
No one really knows the exact nature of his health, but he's not even going through individual drills yet.

Speaker 18 Did you see the chamber they got him staying in?

Speaker 108 No, I I don't pay attention.

Speaker 85 It's like a glass cleaner.

Speaker 157 Are you going to go with Stetson Bennett?

Speaker 4 I mean, no, no, Jimmy G.

Speaker 14 Devontae Adams got Jimmy G again throwing him.

Speaker 16 There you go.

Speaker 4 They're not going to be the same without Matt Stafford. He's that good.

Speaker 4 He is awesome, man. And there's a step down, big step down if he's not there.

Speaker 30 Do I have to be concerned at all about Caleb Williams?

Speaker 14 Well, did you see anything you liked last year?

Speaker 26 I saw some things I liked, saw some things I didn't like.

Speaker 4 I liked it. I mean, his deep ball passing, if you just look at the statistics, I've really gotten into these PFF stats.
His deep ball accuracy, his overall accuracy was not good. Yeah.

Speaker 4 His accuracy was not good. The clock in his head has to speed up, man.
He held the ball too long at Oklahoma. He held it too long at Southern County.
He's holding it too long now.

Speaker 18 How do you coach that?

Speaker 71 Hard.

Speaker 90 That's what Ben Johnson is doing.

Speaker 4 Ben Johnson's going to be tough on this kid. Now, Caleb's got a lot of talent, quick arm.
It's a brand new system. He's going to be under the center.

Speaker 4 He hasn't been under the center very much in his life. And the rhythm of playing quarterback is completely different.
Ben Johnson wants to run the ball from underneath the center.

Speaker 4 And it's going to set up some wicked play-action passes, man. And that's where the chunk plays are.
I think that's what Ben wants to do. So Caleb's going to have to.

Speaker 4 learn some new fundamentals, some new rhythm of the position, but he's got to come through. This guy's got a lot of pressure on him.

Speaker 4 I hope Bear fans are a little bit patient early, but he has to come through, man. The Bears have got to have great play from the quarterback in the division area.

Speaker 34 Yeah, what did you think when the story came out that there were weeks last year where he was basically watching film by himself with no offensive coordinator, no, no guy like showing him what to do, that he was basically like, is that coaching malpractice when you see that story?

Speaker 4 That's why you have vomit bags on the airplane. You know what I mean? You want to puke when you hear stuff like that.
That's sickening.

Speaker 4 If there's any truth to that, that's the worst thing I've ever heard. I mean, you know, I've heard comments out of his book that are alarming and disappointing.
You know,

Speaker 4 I don't know what to read, what to believe, and all that stuff. I just know this.
Ben Johnson runs a very sophisticated offense, man. They're going to be aggressive.

Speaker 4 They're going to go forward on fourth down.

Speaker 4 This guy uses a lot of creative gadget plays. They asked the quarterback to do a lot at the line of scrimmage, fixing problems, communicating problems.
I'm anxious to see it.

Speaker 4 I was disappointed he didn't play against Miami. He was down there with the sunglasses on having a good time.

Speaker 4 I thought badgent looked great. Yeah.

Speaker 77 He really did. Yeah,

Speaker 63 the story is that they did a pretty intense scrimmage like two days before.

Speaker 58 He got a bunch of reps there.

Speaker 19 But I agree.

Speaker 118 I wish you'd played.

Speaker 29 I mean, why not? You're a young quarterback.

Speaker 19 Any opportunity is good practice.

Speaker 4 I think just to jog out there in a new system with a new play caller in your ear, I think you might want to get some reps at the beginning of a game, but he has a lot to prove.

Speaker 4 He definitely has the talent to back it up. He's got a very interesting supporting cast, too.
I mean, the two tight ends. I haven't seen the young tight end from Michigan yet, have you?

Speaker 24 Yeah, Colson Loveland.

Speaker 28 Yeah, no, he had a nice catch early in the first preseason game.

Speaker 6 Do you like also Ben Johnson, attention and detail?

Speaker 58 People think that he repainted the Bears' end zones for the first time in a long time because it can confuse the opponents when you have the Navy on Navy.

Speaker 89 Do you like that?

Speaker 4 I haven't thought that hard about it, I like that.

Speaker 18 So, what are the Navy on Navy?

Speaker 6 They basically were showing some of the plays where the Lions, you know, like the goalpost is the Honolulu blue.

Speaker 73 The end zones are Honolulu Blue.

Speaker 19 It's hard to see the opposing team.

Speaker 121 So, they repainted the Bears.

Speaker 18 They might not know where to go to score touchdowns.

Speaker 16 No, I'm saying when they're looking downfield,

Speaker 48 the jerseys blend in with the end zone.

Speaker 57 Got it.

Speaker 22 They don't see the quarterback doesn't see the defenders.

Speaker 120 I like that. Yeah.
Like, trust me, everything.

Speaker 118 It might be a little bit of a like,

Speaker 6 I have also bought into this hype of like, there was a story that Caleb's headset went out and Ben Johnson gave him like a talking to about how you have to have like four plays you love.

Speaker 25 Theory might be that he actually took the headset out and he's trying to overload him with stuff.

Speaker 63 We might be in that phase where like every mistake the Bears make, we're like, that's just Ben Johnson being a genius.

Speaker 90 I'll admit that.

Speaker 138 Okay, back to Coach Gruden.

Speaker 18 So when it comes to coaches that are coaching like rookie quarterbacks, last year, Sean Payton Bonex. Sean Payton's got like a very, I don't know if it's complicated, but it's...

Speaker 18 There's a lot of words in his offense, right? When he's getting a play call in, you got to memorize like 14 words in a row. Do you dumb things down for a rookie quarterback?

Speaker 18 Or are you like, hey, we're going to do it my way. You have to be able to learn this stuff.
And you're going to struggle until you get there. But when you get there, you'll be fine.

Speaker 4 Well, that's a great question. I think if you have a lot of confidence in your staff and your teaching ability,

Speaker 4 and you're bringing in some of these quarterbacks, they're sharp guys. I mean, it's not like this is rocket scientist.
Now, Peyton does a lot with verbiage. There's no question.

Speaker 4 I remember when Derek Carr went to New Orleans, they kept Sean's verbiage. And I sat in several meetings and it's that old Bill Parcel stuff.

Speaker 4 And a lot of the words with the other play they're calling two at a time, it gets to be more than 14. It might be 30 words, you got to say.
But it all makes sense. It's all teachable.

Speaker 4 Bo Nick's had no problem with it.

Speaker 4 Harvey, the running back that I'm hearing about up there in camp right now, has had no problem learning it.

Speaker 4 If you're a great teacher and you got guys that are great students, you can do a lot on offense, man. And that's what Sean Payton's looking for.

Speaker 18 Did you have to evolve your method of teaching?

Speaker 18 Like, did you have to become you you you had to learn at some point like hey i know what i'm talking about offensively but i need to be able to teach these guys how to do what i want them to do and and make it easier that way did you change anything to make yourself like a better educator Well, I tried.

Speaker 4 I mean, my mom was a school teacher. I tried to keep it interesting, tried to install it a very specific way where we could package plays together so it was teachable.

Speaker 4 But I let everybody know from the very beginning, we're going to have a lot of offense. We're going to have different personnel groupings, two tight end sets, three tight end sets, no tight end sets.

Speaker 4 Single back, two back, no back, up tempo, different speeds. And if you can't keep up, you won't be here.
And the players respond to that. I think they love it.
And that's how I would always do it.

Speaker 4 I think when you dumb it down, I think you're playing into the defense's hands. This is a hard league.
It's a long season.

Speaker 4 And I think being able to attack a specific defense each week with different things that they haven't been able to prepare for makes you better.

Speaker 53 How were were you as a student?

Speaker 4 I was an average student, but when it was coming to football, I can still remember a lot of the players, statistics, plays I've called. I have a photographic memory when it comes to what I like.

Speaker 4 Right.

Speaker 72 You know, I can remember what I like.

Speaker 4 Some of it, I knew in ninth grade, I'm not going to use this trigonometry. What the hell am I doing?

Speaker 61 Yeah,

Speaker 4 what is the importance of this class? I'm sitting in there going, I am never going to need this.

Speaker 49 Was there a year? Because

Speaker 32 I think it was maybe seventh or eighth grade that I was like, yeah, this math thing isn't for me.

Speaker 22 It like hit me where I was like, I'm never going to be good at this.

Speaker 152 And it's like, I got to figure out a different way.

Speaker 4 I was great with numbers. I can count to 100 by threes and fours and sixes as fast as anybody.
I have a very good mind when it comes to normal mathematics.

Speaker 4 But once you started getting into algebra and calculus,

Speaker 87 I've never been in the same room as calculus.

Speaker 127 I have never met calculus.

Speaker 4 I have no interest in it. I just lost it.

Speaker 7 Wait, do sixes to 100.

Speaker 4 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90, 96, 102.

Speaker 156 That was really good.

Speaker 18 You know what I love?

Speaker 62 The threes and the sixes?

Speaker 18 That's just football number. Yeah.

Speaker 77 Yeah. You're just keeping a score on a scoreboard.

Speaker 18 You naturally learn. Yeah.

Speaker 70 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Gravitate towards that.

Speaker 157 Yeah, probably pretty much.

Speaker 61 Yeah.

Speaker 70 I got rapid fire for you.

Speaker 21 I just want like a one-sentence answer.

Speaker 19 I'm going to name some places and you tell me just what first comes to mind.

Speaker 72 Okay. All right.

Speaker 73 Norman, Oklahoma.

Speaker 4 Tornadoes and Sooners. Okay.

Speaker 73 Auburn, Alabama.

Speaker 49 Man. If you like any of these places, you can say.

Speaker 71 I do like Auburn.

Speaker 4 I like Auburn, Alabama. I've been there a few times.
I would say

Speaker 72 it's

Speaker 4 a hardcore football town.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 82 Gainesville, Florida.

Speaker 4 Gainesville, Florida.

Speaker 4 home of the national champion Florida Gator basketball team and

Speaker 4 a really cool place.

Speaker 90 Okay.

Speaker 19 Let's see.

Speaker 87 What about, there's a cool town in Arkansas, isn't there? Yeah.

Speaker 72 You guys are

Speaker 4 getting that something here.

Speaker 72 Bayville, Arkansas, Arkansas.

Speaker 4 Bayville, Arkansas.

Speaker 93 Yeah. Yep.

Speaker 82 Love it.

Speaker 64 What about LA?

Speaker 157 LA? Yeah.

Speaker 71 Los Angeles?

Speaker 69 Yeah, where USC is.

Speaker 4 I'm not a fan. Okay.
All right.

Speaker 78 So it sounds like what about, oh, I think Gainesville was the winner there.

Speaker 18 Big guy, close your ears. What about

Speaker 109 he he loved it when we went up there? You like Madison?

Speaker 90 He guys are coaching.

Speaker 116 Oh, coach.

Speaker 4 You know, there's things called analogies. You know, I really like to use the analogy of dreams and nightmare.
I want everybody to know at Georgia. You're the measuring stick.
You're a tombstone game.

Speaker 4 You go to Georgia and win between the hedges. We'll put 14 stickers on your helmet, man.
We're going to give you a raise, man. You're a head coach.
You go into Georgia and win.

Speaker 4 You can get any job in the country.

Speaker 4 So you have to understand when you play at a place like Georgia, you better be at your best because the other team, they're coming in there with the dreams, man, of knocking you off and taking what you have.

Speaker 4 You got to put your foot on their throat and their dreams.

Speaker 4 Not today, man. But that was the analogy I was creating.
You see, that's all it was.

Speaker 6 When we went up to Madison for a spring practice, there was a moment.

Speaker 111 When I was walking you around town, we were on State Street.

Speaker 32 There was a moment where we both looked at each other's eyes and were just like, should we just get fucked up today?

Speaker 29 And it almost happened because there was the fight.

Speaker 54 It was a beautiful, sunny day, spring day, like crisp, 65 degrees.

Speaker 19 We almost just found the nearest beer pong game and just like, fuck it. Let's just

Speaker 62 tell you what, man.

Speaker 4 You know, you go watch a spring practice, right? You're right there. The pads are popping.

Speaker 4 God, you're right, man. There's nothing like some of these Big Ten SEC towns.

Speaker 72 They're all football. I know.

Speaker 4 It's just freaking awesome, man. And it's that time of year, man.

Speaker 61 What about most?

Speaker 57 Malisek saw it.

Speaker 29 He was also Malisek.

Speaker 58 I think Malisek wants you to get back into coaching.

Speaker 25 Because when we went up to Madison, the other story was

Speaker 27 we get to the spring practice and it was like, we're standing on the sideline and I'm talking to someone and I look back to my right to see if like Gruden's next to me.

Speaker 56 He's just in the huddle.

Speaker 16 You just were in the huddle like had a play sheet.

Speaker 54 You just like gravitate towards the huddle.

Speaker 55 Any group of dudes, you're ready to just pump up in a huddle.

Speaker 29 And then Malisek was like, what's this guy's job?

Speaker 54 It was Fickle's right-hand man.

Speaker 111 I was like, yeah, he's just, he does everything for Fickle.

Speaker 54 He's like, oh, and the light bulb went off. And he's like, that could be me.

Speaker 30 That could be me at a big-time college campus.

Speaker 4 It's just exciting to be back out on the field.

Speaker 4 This is what Malasek,

Speaker 4 he loves to compete, man. We went up to Jacksonville to watch the Jaguars.
I really wanted to see Liam Cohen, what he's doing. Travis Hunter, the Heisman Trophy.
We talked about him a lot.

Speaker 4 Listen, we love him. So I watched this carefully.
And before practice, he's over on this field with their secondary coach.

Speaker 4 And I'm looking at it, and that's Ron Milas, my old secondary coach, coaching Travis Henry on defense. Then the horn blows, they stretch.

Speaker 4 Then the horn blows, they go to their first period of practice. And he's with Edgar Bennett, their receiver coach, my old receiver coach.

Speaker 4 So I was telling my old coaches, I said, you guys got more pressure on you guys than anybody in the league to make this kid Henry or Hunter. He's got to come in and have a great year.

Speaker 18 Yeah, Malisek could be your Jordan, your Jordan holiday second.

Speaker 129 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Like Bill Belichick.

Speaker 18 He'd just handle everything, screw everything up for you big time.

Speaker 50 Would you hire him? Would you hire Malisek as your right-hand man

Speaker 28 if you took another coaching job?

Speaker 4 He'd be one of the first guys I hire.

Speaker 19 What's the percentage you coach again?

Speaker 4 Shit, I wasn't prepared for this big cat.

Speaker 4 I got a great job right now.

Speaker 85 I don't want you to selfishly.

Speaker 70 I want to work with you forever.

Speaker 4 I enjoy going to high school. Malisek and I, we're trying to help keep high school football alive down in Chicago and Tampa.
We're supporting some of these high schools, but love that.

Speaker 4 Shit, I don't know what I want to do yet.

Speaker 4 I like living in Tampa. I'm helping a lot of guys privately on the side.
And I do know I could help a team. And hopefully, one of these days I get another shot to do it.

Speaker 136 Yeah. How many?

Speaker 20 He looked like he was closing the door and then he's like,

Speaker 51 just leave it a little open.

Speaker 18 How many boxes did you say that you got?

Speaker 4 You know what? We have opened one a day for for 155 days, 170 days.

Speaker 42 Jesus, what's your favorite box?

Speaker 4 I don't go there because they're all great. Okay.

Speaker 61 So you know, I love all my

Speaker 18 bad ones. You love all your.

Speaker 4 Problem is, you see, is it's it's a box that someone took the time to put together and send to you.

Speaker 4 And you got to open it. You know, but you don't want to open three a day and not give the team their day in the sun.
I mean, we take a lot of interest in these teams.

Speaker 18 Are there some boxes that you see and you're like, I should, I'll open this one gently, delicately?

Speaker 4 Yeah, I keep waiting for a box of rocks or, you know, something to jump out of there.

Speaker 156 It's not so pleasant.

Speaker 29 But are there some like you get deep in the box?

Speaker 16 You're aggressively getting into the box?

Speaker 4 Yeah, some of these boxes, they fire me up. Yeah.

Speaker 104 Start digging into it.

Speaker 87 Start digging into that Tennessee box, that Notre Dame box.

Speaker 62 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 I mean, I almost jumped in a North Carolina State box.

Speaker 4 These These boxes are unbelievable.

Speaker 49 But you're right.

Speaker 64 You should, like, what if someone, what if someone did, like a trick box?

Speaker 111 You might want to start wearing protection before you get in the box.

Speaker 65 Well, you know, for Christmas, for Christmas.

Speaker 138 I don't know where that box has been.

Speaker 4 For Christmas, my brothers and I, we always gave foolers. So, you know, you'd get a box and it'd be a,

Speaker 4 you'd open it up, and there might be a rock or some dirty laundry in there. I keep waiting for one of those boxes.
Yeah.

Speaker 18 The foolers. I got a question for you about our coworker, Mike Kadick.
So when you you first met Kadick, you just crawled right up his butt. You were just like, get down your three-point stance.

Speaker 4 Let's see what that's. Well, I was right about Kadick from the very beginning.
I seen him doing pass sets on Bourbon Street backwards with his shirt off. Yeah.

Speaker 4 You know, you keep him at his wheelhouse. That guy's spectacular.
But I'm most proud of my man, Zach.

Speaker 77 Yeah. Yeah.
All right.

Speaker 4 Because we discovered Zach. I should say Dave Portnoy discovered Zach and Mount Millet Jake discovered Zach.

Speaker 118 Yeah, Zach, get over here.

Speaker 70 Get over here, Zach.

Speaker 44 So for people who don't know, the way we found Zach is he applied for Coach Gruden's assistant position.

Speaker 19 Everyone, our listeners know Zach very well by now.

Speaker 44 Let's just say he was nervous, very nervous,

Speaker 6 had some self-miscommunication problems.

Speaker 117 That's his quote.

Speaker 27 But he got a second shot during March Madness.

Speaker 43 He's been a star since.

Speaker 20 Do you see him and you're like, man, that's the one that got away? Because

Speaker 101 I would feel that way if I were you.

Speaker 4 Well, we we feel like our bowl was too small for a superstar like Zach. I mean, we, we just, Jake and I, we, we do football stuff and we kind of stay in our lane, but we knew Zach had presence.

Speaker 4 I mean, Zach needs his own show, his own agent. Zach needs a lot of real estate, and I'm just so proud and happy for you, man.

Speaker 59 I appreciate all the kind words, Coach.

Speaker 59 I need none of those things whatsoever. I was just very grateful to even interview

Speaker 59 for the position. Thank you so much for the kind words.

Speaker 57 Let's say you're at the Combine and you're talking to a guy and the guy says, hey, you know what, coach?

Speaker 18 I got to be honest with you, I'm not much of an intercourse guy.

Speaker 22 Good thing or bad thing?

Speaker 4 That's not a question I can win.

Speaker 61 That's the one thing I've heard.

Speaker 9 Yeah, he's smart.

Speaker 88 You know.

Speaker 31 Well, you didn't fully learn it because we just did five minutes on boxes.

Speaker 4 I would say as long as you can play the position, I would love to have you on it.

Speaker 6 Okay, because Zach is a self-proclaimed, not much of an intercourse guy.

Speaker 70 Depends on the day.

Speaker 62 Maybe not all the time.

Speaker 18 Would it have changed your mind about Zach if you had known he had an incredible eagle tattoo across his chest?

Speaker 53 A business tat.

Speaker 44 He's got a massive one.

Speaker 77 It's an eagle tat?

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 59 Yeah, I got, yeah, there's an eagle tattoo.

Speaker 90 There it is.

Speaker 61 All the way across.

Speaker 72 Let's see.

Speaker 61 Take my shirt up. Yeah, dump him out.

Speaker 61 Just flash him.

Speaker 59 It's nothing crazy.

Speaker 59 We all got a couple tattoos.

Speaker 77 He always says that.

Speaker 44 I mean, it is in this room, but not all rooms.

Speaker 78 You could be like, we all got a couple tattoos.

Speaker 59 And I apologize for the build there. I got to get back in the gym.

Speaker 81 That's on me.

Speaker 4 Well, I've heard you're eating a lot of chicken McNuggets. I mean,

Speaker 90 not so bad.

Speaker 65 Is it bad? It is.

Speaker 59 I got to reel it in.

Speaker 27 Zach, do you have a question about football?

Speaker 42 Maybe the Bucs?

Speaker 59 So what are we thinking about the Bucs odds this year, Coach?

Speaker 4 Love the Bucs.

Speaker 90 Looking good?

Speaker 4 Yep, we saw them the other day scrimmage, the Tennessee Titans. I worry about the first couple games because Tristan Wurfs is going to be out.
He's a game changer, man. He's good.

Speaker 4 But I saw their first-round pick from Ohio State. I did not know he was built like that.
Yeah. They're going to be really good.
They're going to score on offense.

Speaker 4 I think Hassan Reddick comes in to rush the passer. I love the addition of these two young corners, Morrison from Notre Dame, Parrish.

Speaker 4 I like the Bucs to easily win the South, and I think they're going to the NFC Championship game.

Speaker 4 Don't forget, they kicked Philadelphia's ass last year. Yeah.
33 to 16. I mean, they kicked their butt, and they played the Eagles early this year.
This is a good team.

Speaker 4 Four straight division titles they've won, and I think they're going to be better this year.

Speaker 18 So, what about the rookie quarterbacks this year? Is there one that you're most intrigued by, one that you say, I think I like, I don't know, Jackson Dart?

Speaker 4 Well, Jake and I, you know, we loved Will Howard.

Speaker 4 He got hurt in Pittsburgh in practice, but we loved him. We were shocked he went in the sixth round, and we we like Jackson Dart.
He is one tough dude, man.

Speaker 4 I called him like the evil knievel of quarterbacks. I like that.

Speaker 4 We really like those two guys. Quinn Ewers got off to a tough start with Miami, but Howard was a guy.
I was really surprised. Slipped till the sixth round.
I like him a lot.

Speaker 18 And what about some of the second-year guys? If you were to take, let's just go with Drake May, Michael Pennix, Bo Nix.

Speaker 4 I'm also excited to see Pennix. You know, he played good last year.
I know they went one and two in his three starts, but they lost those two games in overtime.

Speaker 4 I think they scored 40 points against Carolina in one of those losses. He has a beautiful passing stroke.
He's going to play indoors, perfect environment in Atlanta. They got some firepower outside.

Speaker 4 I think Raheem's got the defense solved a little bit. They got some guys now.

Speaker 4 I like Pennix, and I love Bijan running the rock. I think Atlanta is dangerous.

Speaker 50 I know that I think he told us this story, but did you meet with Kirk Cousins at all this offseason?

Speaker 4 We always get together.

Speaker 44 So does he still have a little juice left?

Speaker 14 Because that feels like a big domino that could potentially fall for a team that maybe has some aspirations for a playoff run, and they lose a quarterback early.

Speaker 6 That's a guy who, like, I think he's still got, especially, I think the Achilles thing, for a guy his age, that's going to take a year.

Speaker 54 And I think last year was the year, and I think he's probably got something left.

Speaker 4 Yeah, there's no doubt he has stuff left. And you're right about the Achilles.
He wasn't ready to go. He had no movement back there.

Speaker 4 And they were the fewest, they took the fewest play action pass attempts in the league last year. I mean, Cousins comes from Minnesota.
They led the league. That was his game.

Speaker 4 So I think the offense was different for him. The injury was a problem.
I think he lost a little bit of his confidence because of his footwork, his setups. He couldn't finish throws.

Speaker 4 But I think you're right. I think anybody gets injured, God forbid, anything bad happens to any of these teams, they have a nice chip there.

Speaker 4 But the contract is going to be a very sophisticated problem because that's guaranteed money. You're talking about $42 million guaranteed.

Speaker 4 And I wouldn't take a pay cut if they said, hey, we'll trade you if you take a $20 million cut. I don't think that's happening.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 18 You were talking about the Vikings there. I'm interested to know how you would break it down for like a six-year-old because we always say you go have a cup of coffee with Kevin O'Connell.

Speaker 59 He'll make you a better quarterback.

Speaker 18 He'll get you back in the game. I feel that way about Daniel Jones.
He spent, I don't know, two months there last I'm like, Daniel Jones might be fixed. Kevin O'Connell might have fixed him.

Speaker 18 What is it about the Vikings and Kevin O'Connell that makes it so easy for a quarterback?

Speaker 4 I wouldn't go that far with Daniel Jones, but I do like Daniel Jones. I would think this: that, you know, the Vikings are built to throw the ball.

Speaker 4 They got great receivers, arguably the best receiver in a game. And I think Addison is a top 10 receiver.
He's a hell of a player. They have to run the ball.

Speaker 4 They got their asses kicked the last two games, 31 to 9 to Detroit with all the marbles on the table. Then they go to the playoffs and they get sacked nine times.
They lose 27 to 9. You know,

Speaker 4 they really got their butt kicked. So they've gone into free agency and made wholesale changes.
I think they want to run the ball.

Speaker 4 They bring in Jordan Mason from the 49ers with Aaron Jones. I think they're 30th in the league two years in a row.
Last year, I think they were 19th in running the ball.

Speaker 4 But I think they got to run the ball. They got to improve in short yardage, third and one, fourth and one.
I think they got to get some better time of possession.

Speaker 4 But I love O'Connell's passing game, but I think they got to find ways to get not only in the playoffs, they got to move forward, man.

Speaker 4 And I don't know, McCarthy, I know he's an athletic guy. I'm anxious to see it because I didn't see a whole lot of him at Michigan really throwing the ball like the Vikings are known to throw it.

Speaker 4 Right.

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 14 Are we buying anything to like,

Speaker 57 I'm not going to

Speaker 58 discount the Chiefs.

Speaker 19 They're very, very good.

Speaker 81 They're going to probably win the AFC West.

Speaker 57 Do you think this is the year, though, that maybe not them taking a step back, but the PAC kind of catching up with them?

Speaker 6 Because, look, there's only been one team that's ever gone to four straight Super Bowls.

Speaker 26 That was the Buffalo Bills in the 90s.

Speaker 84 It's hard.

Speaker 26 That's a lot of football they've been playing.

Speaker 74 There's a lot of getting back up on the mountain.

Speaker 114 Do you think maybe this is a year it's someone else's year in the AFC?

Speaker 4 I like Denver in the AFC West. I mean, I think getting Hafonga and Dre Greenlaw, they had 60-plus sacks last year on defense.
I love this R.J. Harvey.

Speaker 4 I'm hearing good things about Bryant, this young receiver. They've got a lot of continuity.
Year two or three of Peyton's system.

Speaker 4 I think they're pretty good. I think it all depends really on the Chiefs' offensive line.
You know,

Speaker 4 the kid Simmons, I believe his name is, they took in the first round. Will he be ready to go? I mean, the offensive line, they had Tooney playing left tackle last year.

Speaker 4 That's tough sledding, man. So we'll see.
If the offensive line has improved, how healthy are the receivers? You know, Rice was hurt last year. He's a hell of a receiver.
Is he healthy?

Speaker 4 Worthy will be better this year?

Speaker 4 You got, I saw you had Taylor Swift on your show.

Speaker 77 What was Taylor saying?

Speaker 18 Taylor was saying

Speaker 18 that Taylor is mostly a big fan of the Ryan Rosillo podcast.

Speaker 106 Yeah, and more

Speaker 72 if you want to hear more.

Speaker 61 More NBA fancy.

Speaker 118 Like weightlifting.

Speaker 70 Taylor Swift was

Speaker 70 both talk.

Speaker 18 Yeah, Midlife Crisis Talk. Yeah.
That's kind of what Taylor Swift is into.

Speaker 50 I don't, this isn't so much a question.

Speaker 18 And as your attorney, I advise you not to answer it. I just want to say congratulations.

Speaker 95 Oh, well. Yes.

Speaker 18 Yeah. You don't have to say anything.
Just congratulations. Yeah.
Good stuff.

Speaker 151 Good stuff.

Speaker 22 We're rooting for you. We love you.

Speaker 18 I would love to see you argue at the Supreme Court.

Speaker 39 Can we come?

Speaker 18 If it gets to that point. Painter chests.

Speaker 62 Can we come? Yes. Big foam fingers.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Let's get back to zero.

Speaker 50 We get the fucking stadium pulse going for you.

Speaker 19 Zach, how awkward have you felt just still sitting there?

Speaker 59 I should have got up. No, you shouldn't.

Speaker 72 No.

Speaker 62 No.

Speaker 51 Definitely not. No?

Speaker 65 Yo, yo, you're good.

Speaker 4 I even wear glasses like Zach now. Look at that.

Speaker 152 They They look great, Coach.

Speaker 33 Those glasses do look great. That was a great

Speaker 72 problem. Yeah.

Speaker 28 Do you got any other questions for Coach?

Speaker 90 How do you think Zach would have survived in the FFCA? I don't know.

Speaker 4 Zach will survive anywhere.

Speaker 157 That's true.

Speaker 4 No, he can adapt. I mean, for him to go to Chicago, okay, and explode onto the scene.
He's got Jaden Daniels rookie of the year-like credentials right now.

Speaker 4 I mean, in the history of barstool, who's come on the set? He's a star. And been more likable than Zach.

Speaker 4 I mean, this guy.

Speaker 4 I heard the girls. I mean, I saw an interview with them.
They were asking them, I mean, a lot of stuff, man.

Speaker 59 I mean, no, I'm just, I'm just appreciated to be a part of the program. Have you been on the team coach?

Speaker 123 You might have to show them how to get into a box.

Speaker 141 I could do that.

Speaker 62 All right.

Speaker 4 I might send Zach a boxer. Yeah.

Speaker 61 Just give him some practice.

Speaker 4 You know, I just think, I think it's, I think it's a great balance, you know, having Zach with you guys up there.

Speaker 4 I think the future's very bright.

Speaker 61 Well, we're excited for the football season.

Speaker 28 We're excited to have you in Chicago a bunch of times, draw up some plays, eat some ice cream.

Speaker 50 You haven't gotten to the soft serve machine yet.

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 77 Yeah, Zach will get you squared away with some ice cream.

Speaker 59 Jacob and I would love to serve you some soft serve ice cream. We got two flavors for you, Coach, and some toppings.
Wow.

Speaker 157 That's right. Yeah.

Speaker 112 He'll give you some cream.

Speaker 101 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I love coming up to Chicago.

Speaker 4 I want to come up there and go to that,

Speaker 4 the hell's the name of that place, a steakhouse. What's the name of that one?

Speaker 111 Bivets. Bivets, really good.

Speaker 4 That's my favorite place I've ever been, man. Yep.
Bivets is great.

Speaker 4 I feel like I'm in Chicago.

Speaker 116 Yeah.

Speaker 85 Good stuff.

Speaker 58 All right, coach.

Speaker 142 Football's back.

Speaker 54 We're excited to see you all season, and you're the best.

Speaker 55 Thank you.

Speaker 18 Do you have an official Super Bowl pick?

Speaker 109 Well,

Speaker 109 I do.

Speaker 4 I love the two bays in the NFC. I love Tampa Bay, not because I'm from there.
I really think they could be big time. I love the Green Bay Packers, man.
I think they have a lot of depth.

Speaker 4 I love the receiver they drafted. I love their feature back because he's my guy.
And Aaron Rodgers was 27 when he won his Super Bowl. Favre was 27 when he won his Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 And my guy, Jordan Love, is going to be 27 in a couple weeks. I think they have the defense.
They kick her. McManus was 20 for 21.
They're a hard team to beat on the road in Lambeau late in the year.

Speaker 4 I like the Packers, man.

Speaker 6 Okay, in in AFC?

Speaker 4 AFC, I'm not going to sway away from the Chiefs just because of the coach and the quarterback. They're that good, and their defense is still solid.

Speaker 4 But beware, beware of the Denver Broncos in the West. Yeah.
And I do love the Ravens. Let me say this.
The Ravens and the Bills, we all know the Ravens, Bills, and Chiefs are the favorites.

Speaker 4 And until Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen or Mahomes, you know, aren't the quarterback, it's got to be Joe Burrow. It's got to be, you got to keep those five teams in the mix.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 It's stacked in the air. It's kind of like

Speaker 4 that, that to me is the game. If those five quarterbacks are healthy,

Speaker 4 they're coming to your house playoff time. Yeah.
All right.

Speaker 1 Thanks, Coach. You're the best.

Speaker 18 Thank you for Zach. Yes.

Speaker 142 Thank you for Zach. Zach, great to see you.

Speaker 119 One that got away. Rich G2.

Speaker 61 I'm happy for you, man.

Speaker 116 Appreciate that, Coach.

Speaker 59 Thank you.

Speaker 6 Okay, let's get to Fire Fest of the week.

Speaker 22 Henry.

Speaker 111 Again, shout out to Big Cedar.

Speaker 11 This was a lovely week with the boys.

Speaker 68 You got no Fire Fest.

Speaker 11 Always enjoy always being out here. Not really.
I mean, the only Fire Fest was when I thought I was about to get bit by a rattlesnake and literally shit my pants.

Speaker 157 Copperheads?

Speaker 11 I was looking for a ball, and a guy came up, and I was finding other balls, and a guy came up and was like, be careful for rattlesnakes. Look at this picture one we found in that spot yesterday.

Speaker 11 And I had to like run through 20 yards of, I've never been more scared. I hate snakes.

Speaker 18 It's beautiful wildlife. I'm more afraid of you than you are them.

Speaker 110 That's also like you don't have to, you don't have to justify.

Speaker 65 Well, I'm scared of regular snakes.

Speaker 1 Seeing like I hate snakes, like I, everyone should hate snakes.

Speaker 63 Yeah,

Speaker 1 the only people who don't hate snakes are weirdos.

Speaker 14 Snake people cannot be trusted.

Speaker 16 It's literally the like the first story in the Bible.

Speaker 65 Don't trust snakes.

Speaker 105 Yeah, it's the devil. Don't bite the apple.

Speaker 18 Although, if you're a true believer, which you are, we know that from Mount Rushmore seasons here, if they bite you, you won't get sick.

Speaker 125 Is that true? Yeah.

Speaker 132 No, yeah, you'll just have to take your rib out of your stomach and then make a woman and then fuck her.

Speaker 95 Pretty hot.

Speaker 95 Fellas.

Speaker 11 Wasn't thinking about that.

Speaker 6 Kanan Abel and Seth.

Speaker 132 People forget about Seth.

Speaker 18 Yeah, it's been a great week. So no Fire Fest besides the Snakes.

Speaker 11 And the AK.

Speaker 18 And the AK, yeah. Still on the AK.
You got no Fire Fest.

Speaker 5 That's a great week, eh?

Speaker 80 It's always a great week.

Speaker 71 It is like, I don't know if it's just where we are.

Speaker 35 I don't believe.

Speaker 18 But I feel like they built the entire state state of Missouri out of a bass pro shop.

Speaker 43 Yeah, I think it's where we are because Big Cedar is built by the owners of Bass Pro Shop.

Speaker 18 Yes, that probably has something to do with it.

Speaker 72 Everywhere I look, there's Bass Pro Shops. That's crazy.

Speaker 18 Even on the drive-in, though, like all the stuff kind of seemed Bass Pro Shop in the same cinematic universe. Yeah.

Speaker 29 It's cool.

Speaker 6 I mean, the landscape here is awesome.

Speaker 43 The trees, the rocks, everything.

Speaker 103 It's fucking cool here.

Speaker 70 Okay, cool.

Speaker 11 I guess the other one, I mean, it's more. It's Shane's Firefest more than me.
It kind of happened.

Speaker 11 You know, we were driving through cliffs to get back to the clubhouse, and I had my sunglasses on, and I drove through a dark,

Speaker 11 like, cave, basically,

Speaker 11 and it just went pitch black because my sunglasses were on. I just crashed in a wall.

Speaker 125 What?

Speaker 11 It wasn't, yeah,

Speaker 11 it was that cave on the turn. Yeah, no, I know.

Speaker 72 And I crashed my sunglasses on. I was like, what the fuck?

Speaker 11 And then just like it wasn't, I wasn't going too fast, but.

Speaker 40 That was when Shane was on the back of the, of my cart because I had Yans in the,

Speaker 11 it was basically basically a mile

Speaker 9 up a cliff. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 11 You put Shane on the back of your cart.

Speaker 70 Dude, Shane is a fucking baller.

Speaker 1 He was a king with me this week.

Speaker 1 He's the man.

Speaker 18 All this golf cart shit makes me realize that it's a great pick for Mount Rushmore. Things you look forward to when you get old.
Just driving golf carts everywhere.

Speaker 111 Yeah.

Speaker 18 It is the best way to travel.

Speaker 54 The only time Shane and I had a hiccup was when he got out of the cart to fart, which was a respectful move.

Speaker 14 Like, shout out Shane, team guy.

Speaker 16 Didn't want to fart in the golf cart, but he farted behind the golf cart and the wind quite literally like picked it up and just stuck it right up my nose.

Speaker 52 But that wasn't his fault.

Speaker 11 Thought that counts. Yeah.

Speaker 128 I took a wrong turn at some point today on a golf cart and ended up, I was just basically on a highway.

Speaker 91 I started driving that way and memes,

Speaker 92 actually, Zach, yeah, you were there.

Speaker 59 Yes, I was.

Speaker 145 And the golf cart guy was like, hey, and I guess I didn't hear him.

Speaker 126 He was like, you're going the wrong way.

Speaker 98 But then you you guys followed me that way.

Speaker 59 Because the other guy, because then the next guy came in and was like, all right, you can't take the construction way. You've got to go this way.

Speaker 59 And then it's just like speed limit, 35 carts, going like nine tops.

Speaker 133 Yeah,

Speaker 98 I left it at Highway.

Speaker 128 It sounded like a better story. But yeah, it was a 35 speed limit.

Speaker 98 No, I like that.

Speaker 61 Yeah.

Speaker 157 Got to stepped on Max's story.

Speaker 72 Oh, my bad, Max. It's okay.
It's okay.

Speaker 59 That was bad recall on me.

Speaker 11 Max's snoring wasn't bad. We watched guys grocery games before bed last night.
That was awesome.

Speaker 144 That was good bonding right there.

Speaker 131 That is good bonding.

Speaker 64 Did you mega bed? We did not melt.

Speaker 97 Mega mega bed.

Speaker 11 You got to have a plan. You know, these people that just like, we're going to get ingredients and figure it out.

Speaker 18 You've never watched Guy's Grocery Games? I've never seen it.

Speaker 62 Oh, it's awesome.

Speaker 18 I love Guy Fieti too.

Speaker 144 Yeah, you would love Triple G. Yeah.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 11 It was like, I went to the bathroom and Max came back. I was like, this is a great episode because it was a champions.

Speaker 70 It was like former champions facing off. Oh, shit.

Speaker 9 He's like, oh, okay.

Speaker 86 He's like, yes.

Speaker 11 Yeah, he's like, you're in for one. We got a great episode coming.

Speaker 18 Is that like Supermarket Sweep? Is it the same show?

Speaker 11 Similar. I don't know that one, but I do.

Speaker 131 You have to cook.

Speaker 111 I'll bet it's got way more flavor. Yeah.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 12 Spicy.

Speaker 11 Catch for you.

Speaker 91 Yeah, it's an entire reality cooking game show inside of a grocery store that also has a kitchen.

Speaker 95 Oh, that's awesome.

Speaker 128 So Guy gives them like a prompt, and they're like, and he's like, three, two, one, go.

Speaker 115 And then they have to go and go throughout the grocery store, pick out everything that they need, and then they go cooking.

Speaker 18 It also sounds like a very easy job for Guy Fieri.

Speaker 64 Like a very easy show for him well yeah the hard part is being guy fiery yeah yeah which he's got he mastered no that's what i'm saying like that's good for guy yeah there'll never be another guy no absolutely not

Speaker 75 no yeah his son's hunter and uh

Speaker 18 arrow what is his other son's name uh arrow sounds good yeah i don't know blaze i don't know what his other son's name is but yeah they they

Speaker 18 they'll be cool but they won't be guy yeah it feels like he might have a tofer for a son a tofer maybe a jackson with an x zane Pierre.

Speaker 11 Can you look it up?

Speaker 105 It's not a Pierre.

Speaker 59 It's a Hunter and Ryder.

Speaker 62 Ryder.

Speaker 7 That's good.

Speaker 105 You always got to go to the Paw Patrol names.

Speaker 100 That's when you know.

Speaker 16 If he has another kid, it's Rubble.

Speaker 125 I like Rubble. Okay.

Speaker 75 Rubble's the funniest.

Speaker 59 Ryder's pretty good, too. You like Ryder?

Speaker 64 You're a Ryder guy?

Speaker 101 Might be a Ryder guy.

Speaker 125 Did you grow up on Paw Patrol?

Speaker 67 No.

Speaker 67 I thought we were still talking guy.

Speaker 37 Oh, no.

Speaker 101 Rebel's Paw Patrol.

Speaker 105 Rubble is the bulldog in Paw Patrol. Oh,

Speaker 59 I thought we were going third son, guy, new son.

Speaker 95 Hunter and Ryder is in Paw Patrol.

Speaker 7 I don't know if Hunter is in Paw Patrol.

Speaker 59 Me neither.

Speaker 125 Okay.

Speaker 74 That was a good little who's on first there for Paw Patrol.

Speaker 125 That was good Paw Patrol.

Speaker 83 Okay, PFT, you got a Fire Fest?

Speaker 70 I got a couple.

Speaker 18 First is I'm just, I'm the most dehydrated I've ever been in my entire life. Dude, I just pissed in the shower.
It was like orange.

Speaker 18 It was like a color that does not exist in nature. It was like highlighter orange, and I've been chugging water all day long.
Same.

Speaker 72 It's like 120 degrees here.

Speaker 27 I think I've peed three times in two days.

Speaker 18 Yeah, I didn't pee yesterday. Yeah.
I didn't pee until I got home to go to bed. And then I was like, okay, time to pee.
Yeah. I guess I'm pretty hydrated.
It doesn't look that orange.

Speaker 18 It was a shocking color to see coming out of my body. Yeah.
And so I'm chugging waters again.

Speaker 18 But yeah, it's like you stand up, you get a little bit dizzy, you're chugging water, can't get ahead of it.

Speaker 18 I'm like opening up apps on my phone and I'm forgetting why I opened them up. You know, like it's the electronic version of if you go into a room in your house and you're like, why did I come in here?

Speaker 18 Yep. Like I'm doing that inside my own phone.
Yeah. And I feel like I'm trapped in there.
So yeah, I just need, I might need to get stuck. Like, you mean IV bag or something? Yeah.

Speaker 18 But yeah, that's one. And then the second is, I might have been Wally Pipped.

Speaker 104 Uh-oh.

Speaker 18 I might have been Wally Pipped from my own band.

Speaker 125 What happened?

Speaker 18 We got a new song coming out. Pup Punk Does.
Okay. It's out today on Friday.
Okay.

Speaker 18 I think it's, I think I fell in love with a zombie is the official title. It's honestly the most catchy song we've ever written.
It's a great song. Can you put it that end of the show?

Speaker 18 We can put it at the end of the show. Yeah.
Yeah, let's drop it in there. Do we have the rights?

Speaker 18 Well, the thing is, I'm going to have to ask Nick because Nick is a fucking G, and he wrote this song

Speaker 109 with Roan.

Speaker 18 No, no, Kim Hamilton wrote this with Roan and Robbie. And I did play guitar on it, but they wrote the entire thing.
It's the best song we've ever written. Oh, yeah, you're out.

Speaker 49 And I think I'm out, but I might be out.

Speaker 18 Maybe they'll let me play the song.

Speaker 109 maybe they'll let me like tour with them.

Speaker 18 I've never played it before, I have,

Speaker 113 yeah.

Speaker 18 So I just recorded a couple of the guitar parts, but it's a fucking awesome song.

Speaker 18 And we are going to be playing at Martell's Tiki Bar down the Jersey Shore next Friday, a week from today, with the Barcelon beach house, love that, which is going to be fun.

Speaker 18 But yeah, I mean, it's, I'm kind of, I'm proud of the guys because Nick wrote an awesome song, but I'm like, damn, they don't need me anymore.

Speaker 105 No, yeah, it's all right.

Speaker 16 Your next hit will be a

Speaker 59 smash.

Speaker 18 But yeah, put out the mega bed.

Speaker 70 It's a good song.

Speaker 87 Yo, put out the mega bed the song.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Don't let me get in the lab.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 95 Yeah.

Speaker 22 We have the cover art already.

Speaker 18 Yeah, mega bed. I like it.

Speaker 64 It's bigger than a bed.

Speaker 61 It's a mega bed.

Speaker 67 It's a really big bed.

Speaker 18 It's a mega bed.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 121 Oh, since we're doing shout outs, let me do a quick shout out to our guy, Fights, 37 today.

Speaker 26 Happy birthday.

Speaker 75 And he's got Les Mascots coming out on Sunday night with Tommy, Sass, Nick, KB, a bunch of people behind the scenes, worked really hard on it.

Speaker 111 Everyone, please watch it. It's going to be awesome.

Speaker 7 Also, crazy that Fights is 37 because I always viewed him as one of the younger guys, and he's 37.

Speaker 18 He's the man.

Speaker 6 It's getting to me a little bit.

Speaker 111 All right, time for the Real Fire Fest.

Speaker 87 Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 4 Crazy, right?

Speaker 132 37. I thought I was like, whoa, shit, he's 37.

Speaker 75 Not to make him feel old right now.

Speaker 84 I was saying this over and over, but I always was like, he's so much younger than me.

Speaker 18 You want to feel old? Hank's almost 40.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 9 The clock.

Speaker 125 The clock. Oh,

Speaker 121 I think you weren't around, but we thought of another new clock.

Speaker 55 Wait, maybe you were.

Speaker 67 Our birthdays.

Speaker 73 Okay. My birthday and your birthday.

Speaker 59 Yeah, like it's a bad one.

Speaker 70 So they're just one day off.

Speaker 18 Two different clocks. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 61 Countdown to our birthdays.

Speaker 104 Yes.

Speaker 34 All right.

Speaker 83 Real firefest.

Speaker 40 There's a conspiracy at Pardon My Take to make sure that I do not sleep.

Speaker 22 And there's two people in the room that are very guilty.

Speaker 69 I don't know how deep the conspiracy goes, but we have been here since Tuesday night.

Speaker 6 And both nights,

Speaker 34 I've been woken up and gotten like three hours of sleep.

Speaker 22 So Tuesday night, everyone heard we had Taylor Swift on the podcast on Wednesday.

Speaker 111 Tuesday night, we finished recording, got in bed.

Speaker 16 I think it was maybe midnight, maybe 11:30.

Speaker 22 Fell asleep.

Speaker 27 I'm sleeping soundly.

Speaker 28 Nice sleep.

Speaker 6 Like, hey, I'm I'm going to get probably like six, seven hours of sleep.

Speaker 26 At two in the morning, I have a flashlight directly in my eyeball.

Speaker 29 Yeah,

Speaker 98 flashlight was back on.

Speaker 29 It's two in the morning.

Speaker 14 I have the flashlight in my eyes, and Max goes, hey, hey, the podcast is okay, but I looked it up online, and I think we're going to get sued for having Taylor Swift in the title because we had Taylor Swift on the show on Wednesday.

Speaker 14 What should we do?

Speaker 46 I'm asleep. I'm asleep.
I'm dead asleep.

Speaker 18 Max,

Speaker 18 why did you panic about this? Because when I woke up in the morning,

Speaker 18 thankfully, you guys kept it from me because I was trying to sleep to get ready for the invitational. I woke up to a big text thread being like, are we going to do this? Can we say that?

Speaker 18 Can we say that? PFT, if you're reading this, unschedule your tweet that you have for tomorrow morning. Yep.
And I asked Max, and he was like, yeah, me and Zach,

Speaker 18 we just started using AI to try to figure out if we were going to get sued or not. I can only imagine the conversation those two were having trying to protect, trying to put on their lawyer hats.

Speaker 91 It was a five-person conversation.

Speaker 148 It started because memes was basically getting obsessed with quote cards and being like, I can't wait for everyone to get so pissed off about this tomorrow.

Speaker 60 He was like, I'm going to have everyone thinking this, this, and this.

Speaker 115 And it started to make me uncomfortable.

Speaker 144 I was like, I don't want to get in trouble.

Speaker 72 I don't want to get in trouble.

Speaker 92 And then Zach heard me saying, I don't want to get in trouble.

Speaker 8 And then he looked it up.

Speaker 144 These are our brightest moments.

Speaker 148 What he looked up was like

Speaker 8 very much what I was, we thought very much what we were doing is illegal by deceiving the viewers and thinking that.

Speaker 18 We did not deceive the viewers. We had Taylor Swift on the project.

Speaker 70 Correct, correct.

Speaker 72 He was great.

Speaker 91 Our research told us that that did not matter.

Speaker 26 So

Speaker 31 Max does this.

Speaker 46 Again, I actually.

Speaker 128 Also, Dave had just yelled at me earlier in the day about something else, and then that was fresh on my mind.

Speaker 60 Dave loves taylor swift if we got

Speaker 91 if we got sued for something taylor swift related that'd be double throwing

Speaker 49 he would

Speaker 71 he would tear apart my fucking ass you would punt you you get punished but you also

Speaker 134 you also know you're you're a protected class correct but it's still

Speaker 8 it's still like very

Speaker 115 it's not it's not a position that i wanted to be in and i was freaking out and i was like if i post this and i and we get in trouble it's all going to come down on me.

Speaker 128 And I, I, I,

Speaker 115 we, we had the five of us had a discussion for 45 minutes being like, do we wake up, big cat?

Speaker 91 Do we not? Do we wake up, big cat? Do we not? And then at the end of the day, memes looks at me and goes, I don't care.

Speaker 115 This is on you.

Speaker 127 Oh,

Speaker 62 all right.

Speaker 121 So, so, by the way, this just reminded me, Shane had a bar today because he had an embarrassing moment in front of Dave.

Speaker 20 And I said to him, I was like, he's like, I don't want Dave to hate me.

Speaker 44 I was like, dude, you're a protecting class.

Speaker 27 He's going to bust your balls.

Speaker 121 But, like, he can't do anything to you because you're my guy.

Speaker 27 And Shane just goes, yeah, bald eagles are protected and they still kill them.

Speaker 125 I was like, damn.

Speaker 47 All right. So

Speaker 29 Max

Speaker 41 starts peppering me with questions at two in the morning.

Speaker 29 I'm not even answering because I'm like, I'm trying to.

Speaker 6 understand

Speaker 29 like that I'm awake at two in the morning, not by my own volition.

Speaker 44 At one point, Max, which is illegal, he basically was like, if you're okay with it, I'm okay with it.

Speaker 109 I was like, dude, I'm not even awake.

Speaker 14 I can't give you.

Speaker 108 You're trying to put it on me.

Speaker 46 At the end of the day, everything was fine.

Speaker 5 I actually am not, I wasn't mad at Max for

Speaker 39 being protective of the show, making sure we don't get in trouble.

Speaker 44 That was the right thing to do.

Speaker 34 The only thing I was mad about was the flashlight in the eyeball.

Speaker 64 The flashlight

Speaker 72 was on this.

Speaker 46 Insane move.

Speaker 139 He was also.

Speaker 145 Also, you had

Speaker 98 an eye cover. I had an eye mask.

Speaker 49 And you went underneath, like, you had the

Speaker 46 flashlight underneath the eye mask.

Speaker 102 So it was like, what the fuck?

Speaker 55 Well, no, but you weren't like that.

Speaker 68 But it got underneath. I got underneath.

Speaker 101 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, to wake me up.

Speaker 18 I blame memes. I blame memes for having like a devious little cackle and be like, I can't wait to go out there and get him tomorrow morning.

Speaker 101 And then you read that. That's what made me nervous.

Speaker 72 That's what made me nervous.

Speaker 68 Good job, Max.

Speaker 14 I also, the only other critique was it was the flashlight, but it also was, I don't understand, and this is a very minor thing, but it's a regular room setup where before the mega bed, it was before the mega bed.

Speaker 39 So we have two beds and a nightstand in between us.

Speaker 29 Max, for some reason, decided to walk all the way into the room into the middle of the room.

Speaker 14 And that confused me even more because why would you, I was, I'm the closest bed to the door.

Speaker 18 You probably didn't know which one was yours when he walked in.

Speaker 72 I'm the only one. I was the only one to sleep.

Speaker 94 Yeah, not sleep. In the bed.
Yeah,

Speaker 97 I don't know. He walked all, so he was like...

Speaker 94 I was frantic.

Speaker 68 When I woke up, he was deep inside that room.

Speaker 87 When I woke up with a flashlight in my eyes, Max was like, he was all the way in the room.

Speaker 101 It wasn't like he was like slowly opening the door.

Speaker 64 He was in the middle of the room standing over me, just panicking.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 80 So now that you're awake. What?

Speaker 11 It's like, oh, like now that you're awake.

Speaker 77 Yeah, right, right.

Speaker 49 And then there was a question.

Speaker 110 Max asked me a question I didn't answer for like a solid 90 seconds.

Speaker 6 He's like, what should we do?

Speaker 2 I was like, dude, can you give me a second?

Speaker 15 I don't even know what planet is.

Speaker 146 That's fair. That's fair.
That's fair.

Speaker 18 You think that's how Max's girlfriend's friend felt?

Speaker 22 Yeah, probably. Probably.

Speaker 6 The flashlight.

Speaker 54 So that was Tuesday night.

Speaker 124 Didn't go back to sleep for another like two and a half hours because my adrenaline was pumping because I literally thought I was swatted.

Speaker 6 You saw I was texting like after that for a while.

Speaker 111 And so got like maybe three, four hours of sleep that night.

Speaker 121 Fine, whatever.

Speaker 111 It's again, I wasn't mad at Max because he was protecting the podcast.

Speaker 6 He was doing his job.

Speaker 43 I appreciate him for that.

Speaker 6 Then Wednesday night, I was like, all right, we're going to go to bed early.

Speaker 64 I'm good.

Speaker 6 Gonna get like six, seven hours of sleep.

Speaker 16 Gonna go, we went to bed at like 11.30 midnight.

Speaker 27 I was playing golf with Dave at 7.20 in the morning, so I set my alarm for 6.30.

Speaker 6 The golf course is two minutes away.

Speaker 74 Totally fine.

Speaker 32 5.30 in the morning, a siren starts going off.

Speaker 122 A siren's going off in my room.

Speaker 2 Zach set his alarm for 5.30.

Speaker 121 Zach was not golfing.

Speaker 52 He didn't have to go to the golf course.

Speaker 121 He didn't have any responsibilities. He had nothing all morning.

Speaker 55 He woke up at 5.30.

Speaker 59 I shouldn't have had the alarm said that earlier. But I was, in my head, I was like, I should be up to be available if anyone needs me to do anything.
Like,

Speaker 59 it should be, you need to be there, but at 5.30, I, I, you lock, gotta be in the kitchen by like 6.30.

Speaker 37 I was

Speaker 9 5.30 early.

Speaker 72 I was like, I wish you guys were awake.

Speaker 122 There was a moment at 6.15 in the morning.

Speaker 5 So Zach got up.

Speaker 122 The alarm went off at 5.30.

Speaker 110 I was like, I guess I'm up for the day.

Speaker 6 There was a moment where Zach and I were sitting out on this balcony at 6.15.

Speaker 6 Fully showered and just being like, so now what?

Speaker 18 Zach, where'd you come up with 5:30? 5.

Speaker 59 I was doing math on, like, all right, so if we're like leaving 6:45 and we're

Speaker 86 also

Speaker 94 leaving,

Speaker 72 we're not leaving.

Speaker 6 I get what he's saying, though.

Speaker 18 Like, if you need another set of hands

Speaker 18 at 5:45 in the morning, I'm going to be.

Speaker 59 Oh, I wish we had somebody who could do this real quick. And he's like, oh, why is Zach in the bed? I was like, I can't, I don't be in that situation.
I'll be up.

Speaker 59 And then I was also the last one to the car yesterday morning. I was like, I don't want to.
I want like a split side.

Speaker 86 I know, but I was like, I'm going to be an hour early.

Speaker 62 What if I hold somebody up?

Speaker 59 And I was like, maybe I like, maybe if I'll just wake up extra early and I'll get all my stuff to get out of the way. That way, Big has time to do his thing, get ready, wake up,

Speaker 59 just kind of get ready for the day. I didn't think about waking him up too early.
My math was also a little off on the alarm clock because I was like, all right, he's leaving 6.45. Maybe he's up

Speaker 18 6.

Speaker 1 We did the exact same thing on Wednesday morning.

Speaker 2 I played golf at 7.20. I set my alarm

Speaker 122 for 6.30.

Speaker 18 But Zach was late to the car.

Speaker 18 bios. He wasn't even late.

Speaker 68 I showered first on Wednesday morning, then you showered, and we were all out the door at 7 o'clock.

Speaker 59 A super lapse in judgment. I thought it was the right time.
It wasn't the right time.

Speaker 59 Like 5.30, bad time.

Speaker 18 Am I way off to say that you thought to yourself going to bed, I should get up early tomorrow? And then 5.30 was just your definition of what early is.

Speaker 59 Like early-ish to when things were moving and shaking at 6.45. I was like, this makes sense.

Speaker 101 And I'll be like

Speaker 67 available.

Speaker 59 Being available is a good ability just in case.

Speaker 59 But you lost at 5.30 too late.

Speaker 122 We just were milling around for an hour this morning before anything.

Speaker 11 Did you think that you were going to be able to wake up and Big Cat was not?

Speaker 59 No, no.

Speaker 59 I thought

Speaker 59 I didn't think he would.

Speaker 11 This set the tone for Big Cat.

Speaker 18 I think pre-mega bed this wouldn't be an issue because he'd be further away.

Speaker 18 This is the downside to mega bed.

Speaker 59 And I had the phone and portable charger in the bed, like under pillow, kind of like tough.

Speaker 95 Oh, no, it's a siren.

Speaker 59 I thought maybe, I know, I know you heard it. I know.

Speaker 59 And I'm sorry, big hat. It's okay.

Speaker 61 I was a bad roommate.

Speaker 101 I didn't actually care.

Speaker 49 It was just so funny. It was like, it was basically back-to-back days.

Speaker 149 We were just milling around, fully showered for an hour before anyone was up.

Speaker 111 And then I'm leaving to go play golf.

Speaker 44 And I'm just like, all right, Zach, see ya.

Speaker 23 And he's like, see ya.

Speaker 118 Like, he had nothing.

Speaker 125 He had no reason to be. Bad luck.

Speaker 6 So, yeah, I've slept

Speaker 79 no hours

Speaker 44 week because of the conspiracy to keep me awake.

Speaker 150 Listen, I'm not mad at either of you. It's a funny Fire Fest.

Speaker 27 It was just the fact that it happened back-to-back nights made it even funnier.

Speaker 109 It's like, now what?

Speaker 44 It's like, who's next? Memes?

Speaker 1 Memes is going to get me?

Speaker 111 Memes is going to get me. He will flip my bed over.

Speaker 95 He would. He would.

Speaker 110 All right, what's your Fire Fest, Zach?

Speaker 59 My Fire Fest was being a bad roommate too this week.

Speaker 86 No, you were a great roommate.

Speaker 59 I mean, 5:30 is too early.

Speaker 55 We had great vibes.

Speaker 44 Listen, it's

Speaker 59 such highs and such such lows. It was megabed, and then it was like,

Speaker 37 why are we siren at 5.30?

Speaker 59 And that's like, you're right. Like, we're police siren at 5.30.
Like, you're so right.

Speaker 72 Like, I got swatted twice.

Speaker 67 I walked out this morning.

Speaker 139 To be fair,

Speaker 115 I woke up at like 9.58 this morning.

Speaker 128 I got a lot of sleep. I

Speaker 94 walked out here at like 10 a.m.

Speaker 92 Zach is just sitting in the corner over there.

Speaker 126 I'm like, what's up, Zach? How are we doing? He was like, I'm okay.

Speaker 128 I'm like, oh, no, what happened?

Speaker 60 Gave me the whole story.

Speaker 126 I was like, what have you been doing doing this morning?

Speaker 94 He's like, I've just been sitting here. A little bit I sat over there because I felt anxious sitting over here.

Speaker 126 And then I came back to sitting over here.

Speaker 155 For like five hours, he was doing this.

Speaker 72 You were just chatting with me. Yeah, he was

Speaker 59 just patient a little bit, making sure, like, I'm up. And if there's something that needs to be, like, I'm on it.

Speaker 125 But there was nothing.

Speaker 105 There's true.

Speaker 94 There was nothing.

Speaker 94 There was nothing.

Speaker 4 Bad read on mine.

Speaker 35 Oh, man.

Speaker 111 So fucking funny. Yeah.

Speaker 49 it was an early morning for us, but you were a good roommate overall.

Speaker 5 I think we had a good vibes.

Speaker 105 Mega bed was good.

Speaker 111 Neither of us had a moment.

Speaker 100 Oh,

Speaker 31 I guess we already kind of said it with Gruden.

Speaker 52 The tattoo.

Speaker 86 Zach has a business tattoo.

Speaker 151 Tattoos.

Speaker 59 That was a little bit Firefest, I guess.

Speaker 150 Yeah, that was, I walked in the first morning

Speaker 150 back in to get something. I think

Speaker 32 I was going to brush my teeth and you were getting out of the shower.

Speaker 150 I was like, hey, I'm coming in and you're like, it's all right, I got a towel and I just am staring at a fucking enormous Eagle tattoo on your chest all across your chest.

Speaker 64 I didn't know you had a game like that. I don't.

Speaker 59 I just have a couple, just one or two tats.

Speaker 125 Yeah, it's business tattoos. Couple tattoos? Yeah.

Speaker 59 I didn't think at first I didn't realize what was going like what you were acknowledging because I was brushing my teeth.

Speaker 70 I said, what's that?

Speaker 38 And I pointed at his chest and he turned around behind him.

Speaker 64 He's like, what do you mean?

Speaker 59 I didn't know what was going on. It's early.

Speaker 95 Zach, the tat.

Speaker 70 When you got the eagle tattoo.

Speaker 104 It wasn't did you always

Speaker 62 comparatively early and got up the next day?

Speaker 18 It was going to be a big eagle or did you think like maybe I'll get maybe I'll get a small eagle like just on one chest.

Speaker 59 I didn't think I know now that it might be pretty big but I didn't think at the time when I got like up until now

Speaker 59 it's not too huge. I just have

Speaker 59 a lot but I do I think I got broad shoulders if I stand up straight so maybe that's it doesn't take up your whole chest.

Speaker 67 It does take 90%.

Speaker 72 Dude, it's a good sick tattoo. We're not making fun of the tattoo.
No, no, not at all. I guess it's surprising that you had it.

Speaker 121 It's more like it's the Kevin Durant business tats, where it's like, I didn't know you had such a big tattoo.

Speaker 7 So when I saw it, I was a little shocked, but it is awesome.

Speaker 59 I never thought to bring it up.

Speaker 95 Yeah.

Speaker 59 The first thing we did on the Yak, you had me swimming. So I was like, I'm swimming.

Speaker 134 Did you have your shirt off?

Speaker 104 I did.

Speaker 59 Shirt off. You just didn't see it? And we talked tats grit week too.
Yeah. We were like, anybody have any tattoos?

Speaker 125 I was like, I got two.

Speaker 18 Yeah, I guess we should have followed up. Bad journalism on our part.

Speaker 72 It's on me.

Speaker 9 Wait, it's our fault. No.

Speaker 18 Us not following up.

Speaker 9 I should follow up.

Speaker 37 That's why I should expound, I guess.

Speaker 72 Fair.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 7 We're a tattoo podcast.

Speaker 125 We're tattoo guys? Yeah.

Speaker 64 Are you going to get any more?

Speaker 67 I never know.

Speaker 87 Because that also is the...

Speaker 150 And again, I love the tattoo, but like

Speaker 32 I think most people get a tattoo to start. At least I got one.

Speaker 150 You got one PFT.

Speaker 1 You just went...

Speaker 105 straight to full chest.

Speaker 59 I did start chest.

Speaker 64 You have no other little small ones?

Speaker 59 Just those two, and then I guess I have just like a tiny, like, smiley.

Speaker 125 That doesn't count, though.

Speaker 67 You do that when you're like a little kid with the pen ink, but that's it.

Speaker 104 Wait, what?

Speaker 59 Like, like, when you're kids, you'd use like the stick and poke tattoos with like a pen ink. Okay, I thought you said, like, with a prison tat.

Speaker 59 I guess probably similar.

Speaker 87 Yeah, it's a prison tat.

Speaker 7 I mean, it's cool. It's badass, dude.

Speaker 59 They say those go away. They don't go away.

Speaker 67 Oh, you thought that was a good one?

Speaker 59 Yeah, they tell you, like, the, like, the bullshit ones with the pen ink and the little sewing needle, like, oh, it'll go away in like a year.

Speaker 7 Oh, so you actually did do a prison tap there?

Speaker 59 I didn't do it, but like my friend did it, yeah.

Speaker 67 Just for fun, we all just got the same one.

Speaker 59 That's awesome.

Speaker 125 We were like teenagers, yeah? That's awesome.

Speaker 9 All right.

Speaker 64 Max, finish this off.

Speaker 122 You got a fire fest?

Speaker 94 Yeah, I'll keep mine quick.

Speaker 128 We just literally right before we sat down to record, I was trying to get a credential off of my shorts, and then I

Speaker 18 get the camera on him.

Speaker 27 Get the camera on these shorts.

Speaker 72 You're gonna want to see these shorts

Speaker 126 So we had a long day. Yesterday was hot.

Speaker 91 It was sweating.

Speaker 138 I have two pairs of golf shorts.

Speaker 128 The one that I wore yesterday, at some point.

Speaker 139 That's what I mean.

Speaker 125 Belt loops.

Speaker 18 This giant hole in the ass.

Speaker 62 Oh, man. Oh, man.

Speaker 97 Giant, giant hole here.

Speaker 52 You wore those all day?

Speaker 8 Yeah,

Speaker 8 I wore these all day yesterday.

Speaker 145 I don't know at what point this happened, but

Speaker 91 someone probably saw this giant hole in my ass.

Speaker 97 Oh, definitely.

Speaker 18 For the listeners who aren't watching, can you describe

Speaker 95 how big it is?

Speaker 18 How big is that hole?

Speaker 80 Tell us how big the hole is.

Speaker 52 You could fit an entire, like,

Speaker 18 maybe a nerf football through there.

Speaker 98 Yeah, it's a big hole. It's a massive hole.

Speaker 95 Like, it could fit.

Speaker 138 I could probably...

Speaker 91 It goes up to my elbow. I have pretty big

Speaker 97 forearms.

Speaker 147 I was thinking maybe it would go to my shoulder.

Speaker 95 Not that big, but it's a massive hole.

Speaker 93 Yeah, I will be retiring these shorts.

Speaker 91 Okay. That's it.

Speaker 18 And you've had that for a question mark number of hours. You don't know when it happened.

Speaker 148 I have no idea. I don't.

Speaker 126 It didn't happen when I put the pants on.

Speaker 71 Okay. Okay.
Yesterday morning.

Speaker 72 Yesterday?

Speaker 104 That's big.

Speaker 18 Are you sure it wasn't there when you put the pants on?

Speaker 91 I think it would be pretty hard to miss. Yeah.

Speaker 144 It's a pretty big hole.

Speaker 115 I think it would be tough for me to look at that and be like.

Speaker 84 These are normal. Yeah.

Speaker 95 Yeah.

Speaker 70 So that's it. It's okay.
That's good.

Speaker 109 That's not a bad fire for us.

Speaker 62 Yeah, that's okay.

Speaker 66 It's just,

Speaker 18 I like the fact that you don't know when it happened.

Speaker 18 so now you have to go back and replay everything you did being like oh was it there at that point yeah was there a lunch and we were also with like a lot of straight like people that i've never met before so they would never say anything no no no no no um

Speaker 152 what about just like a light like grab on my shoulder that could have worked

Speaker 128 yeah no that was bad

Speaker 72 like just the one of these i thought i thought i thought we were done with that did you wake up i thought i thought i was nervous yeah the the the flashlight bad play, bad play. Bad play.

Speaker 59 It's Friday night and you're out in the gate. You take her out to a dinner and it feels great.

Speaker 154 Till dinner comes, and she won't touch her plate.

Speaker 162 She's got blood on her lips, she says she already ate. And looking back, maybe you could see the signs.

Speaker 154 The way she lives when she walks, the glazed look in her eyes. She swims her speech and has an undead air about her.
But she didn't try to bite the waiter.

Speaker 162 Ayy,

Speaker 154 I think I fell in love with a zombie.

Speaker 154 No metaphor, an actual zombie.

Speaker 155 Man, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 163 When you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts. That's where Snickers comes in, man.

Speaker 163 That thing is packed: roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 163 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 163 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.
