Today is Wednesday, July 23rd, and football is back, PFT.

It's training camp.

We're here.

Training camp.

Fuck yeah.

Training camp.

Training camp.

It was a great day yesterday.

We saw some of the team start to report.

I think Jim Harbaugh stole the show yesterday.

Oh, my God.

Hiding behind the curtain,

just watching Justin Herbert.

It wouldn't surprise me if he was masturbating, watching Justin Herbert throw.

He loves Justin Herbert.

He gets rock hard for football being back.

If you could bottle up what Jim, I mean, this is an all-time video of Jim Harbaugh.

That's definitely jacking off.

If you could bottle up what Jim Harbaugh feels on the first day of training camp, you could sell that for millions, if not billions.

Well, we know what he feels like in the first day of training camp.

He says the first day of training camp is like being born.

And so that is, I think he is simulating his own birth.

Yeah, I think exactly what's happening.

It looks like he's coming out, breaching the womb for the first time.

I love it.

I love it.

But yeah, it feels good to see guys in pads, not in pads yet, but out on a field.

Yeah, it's cool to see guys wearing colors.

Yeah.

And we also have some holdouts.

Trey Hendrickson.

Yep.

Power move by Trey Hendrickson.

He said that he's not only not playing on his current contract, but he's leaving the state.

He left the state of Ohio.

I love that.

He tagged himself, I think on Instagram, he tagged himself as being in Florida.

Yeah.

Marked safe from the ownership of the Cincinnati Bengals.

That's such a power move, though, to just be like, I'm not only not going to be showing up, but I'm leaving the state.

Well, Florida is the Ohio of the South.

That's true.

He also said that he's like going on the warpath against the Bengals right now because he said, I think he talked to Manty Teo and he said that it was an atrocious offer that they gave him.

So it looks like gloves are off.

Gloves have been off.

And that's the only holdout I can think of.

Yeah.

What's going on with your guy?

Debo, looking good.

You look good in the Debo jersey.

The Debo jersey was a big swing and a miss.

I thought it would be funny to get a small Debo jersey, and then I would look like fat Debo wearing the small.

It turns out I can just wear a small jersey.

Which was it's a tough oh no.

That's a small

stand up real quick.

Jerseys, they run big.

Everybody knows that.

Oh no.

It actually fits perfectly.

Fits perfectly.

It fits so good.

I thought it'd be a child-sized jersey?

I thought it'd be funny like hugging me.

Yeah.

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

Not child-sized, woman-sized jersey.

Woman-sized jersey.

Yeah.

You can fit probably into a child's large.

We're going to have to get you a child.

We're going to have to keep this going smaller okay get me a get me a child give me a child debo samuel jersey

it's so funny that they make a jersey that says like it's for kids that says samuel senior on the back yeah is that is that one officially say senior it does say senior that's that's he had sex conviction what's going on with terry uh terry's fine everything's everything's probably cool uh they both sides want to work something out so there's no update i've just heard updates from terry when he was doing the eastern motors car commercial where he said he wanted to work something out.

Yep.

Then I heard Adam Peters doing his press conference at the media today and he said he wanted to work something out.

So it sounds like both sides want to work something out.

So he's as good as there.

Yeah.

So it seems like it's done.

Everything's fine.

Everything's fine.

It's all good.

I drove the El Camino into work today and then I had to leave, take Blake to the vet, and then I drove back in the afternoon and I brought the other car in just in case something happened with Terry.

And then I'd have to force Max to pry the El Camino out from my garage.

And then we'd have to give it to a fan.

And then we'd, well, no, that's what you said.

As you.

We also have Jerry Jones spouting off.

This is, I think Jerry Jones is just at the point where he's, and this probably happened a long time ago, but he's officially, like, officially there where he's just old guy stream of consciousness.

Because his comments,

what were the exact, what was the exact quote?

Do you have in front of you?

Well, there was one that he said, they asked him if he was going to give up the general manager position or if he's ever thought about it.

And he said that he has for about a fraction of a second.

And hell no, he's not going to give it up.

And then he said, I've danced with the devil, the financial devil, and lived to tale the tale.

Tell the tale.

I don't know what that means,

the financial devil.

Yeah, and then he also took a shot at Micah Parsons

because they said that he's

saying if they sign him, it doesn't mean they'll have him because he was hurt for six games last year.

He was only hurt for four.

Still a crazy thing to say.

Yeah, he did the thing where it's like, what if he gets hit by a bus?

Yeah.

These guys could die tomorrow and we still owe them the money.

Yeah, and then J.J.

Watt came over to Top.

He said, anytime you can publicly take a dig at your star quarterback and your star pass rusher simultaneously right before the season begins, you just got to take it.

Nothing makes guys want to fight for you more than hearing how upset you are they got hurt while fighting for you.

And then Micah Parsons retweeted it.

Good times for the Cowboys.

It gets started early in Dallas.

He still hasn't gotten, he hasn't done any passive-aggressive statements about Schottenheimer yet.

Yeah.

Which they're in the honeymoon period right now.

But basically, you know, taking your two, you get arguably most valuable assets and then publicly.

Can you imagine working for a boss that draws a lot of attention to you, but then will also trash you on his own medium platforms?

That's tough.

I could not imagine that.

No, he, yeah, the Dak Prescott one was he said they paid, uh, they made Dak Prescott the richest player in football and he missed two-thirds of the year.

Mm-hmm.

Nice, Jerry.

He's just, he's old Grandpa Jerry, where it's like, ah, do we really want him to say that?

Do we really want to put him in front of a microphone?

Maybe he needs a dump button.

I don't know.

He might.

He's probably got a colastomy bag, but Jerry is in mid-season formal.

You guys, as NFC East guys, got to love this, that the Cowboys are just, I mean, this is.

I like it, though.

Like, I enjoy Jerry Jones as a figure in NFL.

Oh, I agree, but I'm just saying, like, the Cowboys are, like, this is not the way you want to start camp to have Micah Parsons seemingly upset and a shot at Dak Prescott from your owner and general manager.

I was also searching during that.

Did you mention the Michael Parson?

No, he said Michael.

Play the clip.

I want to hear that.

That's great.

Yeah, he's an old guy.

Of all the players that I've ever negotiated with,

Michael Parson is as savvy and knowledgeable and understanding of his financial business.

Michael Parson is what he referred to.

And I'm not going to defend Jerry Jones.

He's 82 years old.

82 is, you know, you get to 82 and it's, you know, you're sitting at the Thanksgiving table and you're like, don't listen to what he's saying.

Right.

The way he talks about.

He's giving the fucking speech to start training camp as the owner and general manager.

The way that he talks about his players is like how a businessman would talk about one of his vendors that he's just gotten a big contract with, and you want to make sure that they know that the pressure is still on them to deliver what you said that they would deliver, not football players that are going out there and trying to hurt each other.

Oh, man.

Listen, Jerry.

I'll pay a young boy's money.

Who's to say he's not going to die?

Who's to say he's not going to fall into the gorilla exhibit at the Cincinnati's?

He would, Jerry Jones, if he had it, like, could you imagine if we had the CBA as per Jerry Jones, where if you get injured, you don't get paid.

Yeah.

It's even less guaranteed contracts.

Jerry wants it to be, if you miss a practice, you don't get paid.

If you miss a game, if you miss a quarter, oh, you got, oh, you had to leave the game with a concussion.

Well, that's half your paycheck.

Go by play.

Yeah.

Yeah, a good plays and bad plays.

He just, he,

what did they, they did, uh,

wasn't there someone who did, I guess this is just a stock market, I'm thinking about like just dynamic pricing where it's like, oh, he got a sack.

Oh, he's going to get, you know, $10,000.

Oh, he missed the tackle.

All right, we're taking $10,000 away.

Polymarket, but for sport.

Yeah.

That's what he's going to be investing in.

Might be on the cusp of something.

I do think that it's impossible to draw conclusions as to how the the Cowboys are going to play this year just based on Jerry Jones and where he's at because he does this every year.

He does this every week.

So he wants the spotlight on him.

The Cowboys might be good this year.

They've got good players.

Yeah.

But it does seem like it's

Schottenheimer's going to get a very quick crash course in having Jerry Jones.

outshine anything and everything that you do all the time.

Big time.

Big time.

You also, I know we brought back Herder Injured last on Monday for the snack wrap.

This is, we're just going to, I'm just going to bring this back

right now.

The oh, you think?

Because Saquon Barkley is saying that if he could go back in time, he would like to get paid all in Bitcoin that has gone up 7x since he started in the NFL.

Oh, you think?

No, duh.

He basically was like, yeah, I would have rather gotten paid seven times the amount.

I wonder if the Giants had offered him the contract that they were offering him, but in Bitcoin, if he would have taken that.

Do you guys have any Bitcoin?

I bought...

I'm heavily leveraging Doge.

I think I bought a half of Bitcoin in like 2016.

I don't know how to get it.

I got the Doge.

It's in a wallet somewhere.

I buy a little bit every month.

I have like an automatic.

Do you?

Yeah.

Good for you.

That's the way you're supposed to do it.

That's super impressive.

Shout out to my brother.

That's actually really impressive.

Hank's the richest guy.

How did you do that?

My brother told me to do that.

Teach me how you did that.

Well, if that's so smart.

I don't know how to do it.

Yeah, that's pretty good.

That's a really smart thing you did.

Damn, are you?

That might be the smartest thing you've ever done.

My brother's a smart guy.

Yeah.

This was like four years ago at Christmas.

He was just like

a little bit of Bitcoin every single month.

I do the thing where if it goes up, I'm like, can't buy it now.

And then if it drops, I'm like, oh, I got to buy all of it right now, which you're not supposed to do.

Oh, I do.

If it goes up, I'm like, I missed it.

If it goes down, this is the end of Bitcoin.

That's what I think.

Yeah.

So my bottom line is I just never buy it.

I did have a guy in 2012 tell me you should buy this Bitcoin stuff and it was like 80 bucks and I bought some energy sh stock that went to zero.

There's some stories about that.

There was like a guy 2016 in our office.

I remember Lewis and I used to make fun of Lewis and Caleb so much because Caleb like didn't have a lot of money and put all of it in Bitcoin and then would be like I have no money and I would always give him shit and then you know six years later he's like yeah.

That worked out.

I feel like Doge is going to take Bitcoin over at some point.

I saw Quiggs has the best story here.

Oh yeah.

He got paid, right?

No, no.

He used to

He used to use Bitcoin to pay for fake IDs back in high school.

And he had

an extra hundred dollars that was just left over in the account.

And it's worth millions now, but

he just can't get back on it.

Oh, he's got to get someone to help him.

It was in like high school.

It was like, because that was like the easiest way.

It was like the only untraceable way to

use the dark web.

And he just, it's just out there.

I would think about that all day.

Every single day.

Like, I would just sit in a room thinking to myself, one of these moments, I'm just going to remember the password.

Dude, there was a guy who recently, I think it was like a few days ago, sold all his Bitcoin that he bought.

He bought $54,000 of Bitcoin in 2011.

What do you think it sold for?

$1.2 bill.

$9.6 billion.

Jesus.

Why'd he just sell now?

I don't know.

He better be buying a team.

Yeah.

Like, can you imagine not selling once you hit a billion?

It's crazy.

And also, why would you sell all of it?

I'd probably sell when it was like 100,000.

Why wouldn't you sell like half of it and keep half of it?

Yeah.

He probably did.

He probably has more, but that's.

When we missed the boat.

We missed the boat, boys.

We screwed the pooch on the Bitcoin.

Not Hank.

Hank's fucking swimming in it.

Yeah, but imagine if you could just go back in 2010, you and just be like, hey,

do you have like $1,000 laying around?

Because in 15 years, it's going to be 100 million.

Yeah.

Hey, I didn't.

Yeah, I I was afraid.

I was.

I was a little boy.

I don't know.

You're a crypto guy like that, Hank, Crypto King.

Again.

You are.

Shout out to my brother.

Should make your profile picture like the board ape version of Hank.

Hank, crypto expert of the show now.

Yep.

He is.

UFC.

And golf UFC crypto.

I don't think the crypto bros will get upset if you screw things up.

What's the other one?

I don't know.

I feel like recently there was another one that was.

Can we add another one to you?

I don't know.

You're our expert.

Football.

Football expert.

actually the expert on when we can say football is back um

all right what else oh chris paul is backing the for the clippers maybe retirement tour they've got a great lineup they do great lineup they do james harden bradley beal chris paul bugdanovich chris dunn that's their guards Kawhi Leonard, John Collins, Derek Jones, Nick Batum, and then Zubach and Brooke Lopez as their center stick.

If this is the year.

If this was 2019, take three teams.

Yeah, this is the year.

If this was 2019, I got Clippers setting records in the world.

Holy shit, the Clippers are going to be awesome.

Some other big NBA news.

Well, one last thing about Chris Paul, real quick.

This is interesting because if this is going to be his retirement year, we might have a retirement off.

I don't think LeBron wants to retire the same time as Chris Paul.

You think they want to split that up?

I think it might be a retirement off, which I love a retirement off.

That's good.

It's going to be like, who's going to retire first?

Would the other person stay an extra year just because they didn't want to retire the same year as that guy?

You got to think about the Hall of Fame one day.

Yep.

Yep.

You do.

Who's going to get first billing?

Obviously, LeBron.

Do you think Russilla will give Chris Paul a speech at the Hall of Fame?

That'd be sick.

Yeah, I think so.

What was your other NBA thing?

It's a rumor right now, but I think that we should talk about it.

Okay.

Possibility.

Hot rumor on the streets right now.

Ben Simmons has been linked to the Boston Celtics.

Whoa.

What do you think about that, Hank?

Who linked this?

I think that was the Dunk Central.

Okay.

Not Central.

I don't think I got Centaled on it.

Central.

Stool Greeny was talking about it.

Stool Green Purr, Stool Greeney.

Hank, your thoughts?

I trust Brad Stevens.

I don't think this is going to happen.

I think there's a better chance

Terry McLaurin plays for the Patriots than Ben Simmons plays for the Celtics.

Okay.

Well, right now, the Boston Celtics have engaged in conversations with the 76ers revolving around Simmons and expressed interest in the 6'11 6'11 guard.

Sources tell the actual

with the 76ers.

Oh, this is back in the day.

That was an older.

Wait, quick, quick, buy Bitcoin.

Okay, the Celtics.

Time traveling.

I read the wrong tweet.

The Celtics are reportedly interested in signing Ben Simmons per the Stein line.

God.

So it is a real report.

Hank.

Boston, Phoenix, New York, and Sacramento.

That is what the Stein Line said.

That's four teams, not the Celtics.

Hank, let me ask you a question.

If

Ben Simmons signed with the Celtics, how quickly will you sell yourself on Ben Simmons?

Because I do think Ben Simmons is still.

Oh, I would love if Ben Simmons had a renaissance.

Somewhere in there.

He's got to be that guy.

1,000% would be an all-star with the Celtics.

That would be so good.

I would be rooting for him.

Next year is kind of just house money.

Like,

who cares?

We're not going to be that good.

So why not have some fun?

Ben Simmons is not fun.

He could be.

He could be fun.

If he was good, I would have so much fun.

Oh, my God.

You'd be the world's

Ben Simmons fan.

We have to root for this.

Terry to the Patriots.

Not happening.

I just wanted to talk about something else.

Not happening.

Hey,

was that that was crazy to catch your interference?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Was that on your hot seat quilter on?

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

We'll save it.

We'll save it.

I mean, there's not much hot seat.

It's just a stupid rule.

All right, well, we'll save it.

Save Save it.

I would like to hear you say that again.

Okay.

I don't think there's much else.

I mean, we have like the media days happening for the big conferences.

Pelichek on Thursday.

Belichick's going on Thursday.

Yep.

Jordan on Wednesday?

Probably earlier Thursday.

Okay.

Ozzy Osborne died.

That was sad.

That is very sad.

Yeah.

R.I.P.

Sweet Prince.

Yeah.

Invented a genre of music.

That's pretty cool.

Also, reality show star.

Yeah.

I mean, that was an all-time reality show back in the day yep

Henry.

My first hot seat was Memphis Football.

Okay.

They tried.

What was that?

What was that?

Max is bringing one minute ago.

What is this?

Breaking news.

Breaking news.

Do the typewriter.

Do it.

Do it.

Breaking news.

Oh, I'm so excited.

Washington wide receiver.

McLaurin is seeking a new contract.

No.

Report to training camp today.

Per source.

McLaurin was not present for the commanders' conditioning test today that marked an unofficial start to training camp.

All other players are present and accounted for.

Just not McLaurin.

Slow news now.

I mean, that's pretty good.

Like,

one for the team is not bad.

We're talking about guys that aren't here.

I want to focus on the guys that are here, right?

TFT, I'm going to continue to have your back.

He's going to sign.

He's going to sign.

They both can sign.

This happens every training camp.

They both want to make it happen.

It's going to happen.

Terry's,

again, a three-jersey guy, but it's Redskins football team commanders.

Can I give you a spin zone as well?

Yep.

I didn't see anywhere in that report that he left the state.

He did not.

He is

probably in Virginia right now.

Yeah.

So in state.

Still in state.

Has not,

that we know of, left the state.

I do love this.

I hope it's like a new fad that if you hold out, you have to leave the state.

Just

get out of Dodge for a while.

Just to prove.

Just go across.

Trey Hendrickson should have just gone to Kentucky.

Yeah.

Just go across the bridge.

Let me ask you guys this.

What do you think Terry is worth right now?

Because the market has kind of been set by the top 10 million.

$40 million.

$40 million a year?

Yeah.

Okay.

That's probably

not doable.

I think he's pretty good.

He's really good.

Yeah.

I think he'll settle for like $28.

That's my official prediction.

$28.

Three years, $28 per year.

How much guaranteed?

We're going to do $53 million guaranteed.

Okay.

That gets it done.

I like that.

Get Terry in the door.

Oh, you're looking up Garrett Wilson's contract for comparables?

Although Garrett Wilson is

younger.

Terry's $30.

$130 million extension.

Four years.

Would you say three years 58?

I had it.

No.

Yep.

Yeah.

No,

that was a guaranteed money.

Guaranteed

53.

I had him at $28 million a year.

Okay.

So the deal includes $90 million guarantee for Garrett Wilson.

So that's not too far off.

He's going to sign.

He'll be fine.

It's going to be good.

It's going to be fine.

Everything's going to be wonderful.

All right.

You're hot seats.

Baby Fat Devo.

My hot seat is the Big 12, or Memphis.

Okay.

They tried to join the Big 12, offered $250 million to join the Big 12,

and got declined.

That's tough look.

That's a

like, you got to just cancel the football program.

I feel like anywhere, any organization should be able to join the Big 12 for $250 million cash.

Yeah.

Easily.

Doesn't matter who you are.

Yeah.

PETA should be able to join the Big 12

for $250 million.

Absolutely.

We should be able to join the Big 12 for $250 million.

You know what?

A non-competitive

athletic university.

I'll offer $251 million to the Big 12 if they'll accept part of my take.

Dude, imagine if this Bitcoin guy just bought the whole Big 12.

Yeah.

Just made him play at his house.

Yeah, it was a tough look for Memphis to get rejected, but they're back in.

They're in the American.

It's the American.

Yeah, it's just the American conference.

Which I like.

They dropped athletic from the conference name.

Correct.

So they're just the AC?

They're the American.

Yeah.

But what's the AC?

The American.

AC.

You can add conference if you'd like to.

I'm just, I refer to it as the American.

But like, if you were going to abbreviate the conference.

USA?

Conference USA.

Yeah.

It might get a little confusing.

We are the American.

They dropped the athletic.

Not even North American.

But don't, I feel like all conferences have to be, I guess not.

What?

Three letters, but no.

No,

definitely not.

Southern.

Southern Conference.

Yep.

Yeah.

SC, AC.

All right.

My other hot seat, the Red Sox.

I want to be mad more about the ruling, but it was a pretty egregious play by the catcher.

The Red Sox lost on walk-off, catcher's interference.

Second time it's ever happened in MLB history.

First time since 1971.

The problem was the catcher just stuck it.

Like it was

there.

The batter was not swinging.

It was a check swing.

He was also a mile behind the ball.

Like, even if he swung, he was going to miss badly.

But the catcher

threw his hand so far out.

It was technically letter of the law of catch interference.

Red Sox had a 10-game winning streak going to the all-star break 1-3 cents.

I'm still

running

next to the bandwagon train, but

I haven't had a good chance to jump on it.

I'm not going to go faster than you?

It's starting to go faster.

It's starting to lose me.

Is the train coming towards you or going away from you?

We're running in the same direction.

He's trying to catch the train.

He's trying to catch up.

So the train got started.

You're sprinting after the train.

Yeah.

Not even sprinting.

I'm kind of just deciding, like, you know, I'm so fast, obviously, that I'm like, do I want to jump on this train or no?

Like, is it going in a direction I want to be on?

So how close?

Or is it a waste of my time?

Yeah, how close attention are you paying?

Like, last night?

I was watching.

I mean, it was Phillies.

I was ready.

I was ready.

I was ready.

And now, is that just because it was against Max's Phillies?

Well, I mean, I went to two games last week.

I'm tuned in.

I've been tuned in since I lost our break.

This is the best.

I mean, this is the time when we're going to get a trade deadline next Thursday.

This is when we start having some big-time series.

I mean, the Cubs just got caught by the Brewers just will not lose.

They will not lose.

It's insane.

They do not lose games.

So it's going to be like the Cubs play the Brewers like eight times coming up.

Phillies, do the Phillies play the Mets soon?

They got it.

I'm sure.

Yeah.

I mean, I need you more jacked up about the Phillies.

I don't have a lot of confidence in the Phills right now.

Is that because of the trade deadline stuff?

All of the Mets.

We play the Mets two more times, both in August and September.

Yeah.

Those are fun series, though.

You're half a game up right now.

Yeah, Max, you got to lock in.

You got to lock the fuck in.

I just don't have a lot of confidence in this team right now.

Max Delinte needs to step up.

Get the fuck up, dude.

Hank's stepping up.

It's baseball season.

I mean,

I'm tuned in.

I'm tuned in.

I watch every game.

It's just, it's,

I don't know.

They're frustrating squad.

You won last night.

I know.

And also,

it was bases loaded.

No-how.

They were like, chances are.

Yeah, but it was more fun that the ump had to come back and award the win.

Yeah.

That's a fun ump call.

No, it's a great ump call.

Great ump call.

Your cool tone?

My cool tone is crack talk.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Max, we put out the Barcelona bass fishing tournament.

Max's crack made an appearance once again.

Always.

How'd you do in that tournament, Max?

I caught a fish.

Our team caught the biggest fish.

Yeah, that's

also a point.

Did you also catch the smallest fish?

I don't know.

That wasn't tracked, I don't think.

Yeah, I don't think it was.

No, they didn't.

They weighed every fish.

Yeah, how much did your one fish

weigh, max?

And we were out there for four hours.

PFT, how many fish did we catch?

We caught a ton of fish.

Like 20 fish.

I caught a fish.

You caught one fish?

Yeah.

And it was alive?

Yep.

That was a little bit of a pause.

Was it?

Was it a minnow?

It was a fish.

Big mouth bass.

Yeah, big mouth bass.

Not a big one.

A small pound?

Not a small mouth bass.

It was a baby bass?

It was more than a pound.

Size doesn't less than four

hours, one fish?

I couldn't do it.

He was doing the net.

We were a team.

This was a team game.

You guys don't understand teams.

Well, no, we do because we won.

We won the whole damn game.

Yeah, we did.

No, but it was selfish.

We caught selfish.

How were we selfish?

We caught.

Did you notice I just said PFT, how many fish did we catch?

We caught a ton.

You guys are talking about your scene.

Hank is talking about his big fish.

I said our team caught the biggest fish.

Our team caught the biggest fish.

And you keep saying, I caught a fish.

Well, because you're saying that I didn't catch a fish.

Well, I mean, it wasn't really a fish.

Who's to say?

I guess this is more of a political debate.

When does a fish become a fish?

Yeah.

Right?

It was a big fish.

We did well.

Yeah.

Crack was out.

We were cracking.

We were cracking up.

Okay.

You guys had a great time.

Yeah, we had a great time.

Great time.

All-time vibes on the boat with you and your boys fishing.

Can't read it.

Great vibes.

I do.

Don't watch that video.

It's very fun.

I think I like fishing now.

Yeah.

It's such a relaxing, fun thing to do.

Let's go get a tuna.

It also is, we should.

Put a disclaimer, we caught like 20 fish in four hours.

It's very fun when you catch fish.

It is, yeah.

Going fishing and not catching fish is not fun.

We should do it.

That should be a video that we do someday.

Okay.

Oh, like the one we just got.

Uh, fishing with no

guides.

Yeah.

All right, so let's do it.

Maybe we'll do it in time.

You know, we'll do it at Camp Barstool.

A PM TV of us at Camp Barstool fishing?

No way there's fish in that.

We went.

Remember last year?

Oh, they had those.

Yeah.

We not only went, we went, and it was the most ridiculous thing ever because we went out on a boat for like an hour.

None of us caught fish, except the photographer that we were paying for caught a fish, and then he made me take a picture of him with his fish.

With his camera?

Yes.

Like, what the fuck, man?

That rocks.

That rocks crazy.

I believe Max can be good at fishing, but I think that the best way to settle it, maybe have Max go up against professional fishermen and see if Max can catch like a third as many fish or half as many fish as these professional fishermen can.

And he has to keep fishing until he's able to catch, let's just call it six fish.

Six fish against a really good team of fishermen.

And we can make a video out of it.

I like that.

What do you think, Max?

I'm confused, but I'm in.

Okay, love it.

Love it.

We'll get right on it.

You're Italian?

Memes just got it.

I am Italian.

Oh!

Oh,

oh, the.

Wait a minute.

Yeah, I still don't think I get it.

Yeah, no.

The shark guy?

Yep.

Yeah.

The shark guy.

Oh, God, a shark, shark guy.

Shark guy.

But also, Hunter Biden was on the Channel 5.

He did a Channel 5 interview, and he broke.

He had a long explanation breaking down the difference between crack and cocaine.

I saw a very funny tweet that was like, this is what.

Groon looks like when he's breaking down quarterback.

Yeah, you can tell he's passionate.

LeBron doing the Mind the Game podcast.

Yeah.

LeBron talking about wine.

Yeah.

It was quite...

I didn't know half the thing oh i was like holy shit yeah someone when someone's passionate about something and they're breaking it down it's interesting no matter what it is it was informative i hunter would be a blast to hang out with for one night maybe like six hours six hours of hunter biden you don't need anything else damn you think he listens yeah to this show what up hunter we'd have hunter on probably like a four to five time awl yeah yeah somewhere around there maybe missed the year In the middle.

Yeah.

Shit was going on, got a little busy.

Yeah, the laptop was, there were some viruses on there.

What do you think?

What speed do you think he listens to this episode at?

3.5.

3.5.

Listen, we'll have Hunter.

We'll have any, we'll have Netanyahu on.

We'll send, bro.

Listen, we'll do Netanyahu.

We don't care.

Okay.

We'll do Netanyahu, Hunter Biden, Putin, Coney, LeBron, anybody.

Anyone.

What memes?

What are you making?

Max still doesn't get it.

I've been explaining.

The shark guy.

Yeah, the shark thing, Max.

He's still trying to explain.

What are you confused about?

I don't understand it.

You're doing a video against people that are really good at a sport, and you have to compete against them at that sport, even though you're not very good at it.

Pros versus Joes?

Yeah.

It's all right.

He will.

I have faith.

Yeah.

He'll get there.

You can be on a dinghy, a dinghy boat, and you can go dinghies only.

Oh,

six.

Got it, got it.

Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it.

I get it, I get it, I get it.

I haven't done the dingers-only challenge.

Oh, man, the shark guy.

The shark guy.

I thought you were trying to say, I don't know what that was.

I don't either.

And then there was also the thing where he, there was a moment where he was shark guy, then he was like seven fishes Italian.

Yeah.

And then I thought you were talking about the football coach that laid naked with the sharks.

Oh, Jim McAlane?

Not him.

Not him.

Not him.

Affirm, not him.

Don't even say it's him.

All right.

Good hot seat.

Cool throw.

Thanks.

PFT.

Great job, Hank.

My hot seat is

RFK Stadium.

RFK Stadium in D.C., kind of on the hot seat right now because we have not one but two surprise leading candidates for president in 2028 who are putting the project in jeopardy.

President Donald Trump and Stephen A.

Smith have both weighed in on the subject.

Stephen A.

Smith's idea was to build one stadium in Maryland and then have the Ravens and the Commanders share it, which is maybe the dumbest thing that Stephen A.

Smith has ever said.

Wasn't that the Bengals Bears thing?

That was Florio.

That was Florio.

That was also dumb.

Yeah.

But where would they have played?

Florio was saying an hour away.

No, Florio was saying

you moved the Bengals to Chicago, but I was saying, let's just put it in the middle of Indiana.

Yeah.

Yeah, but Stephen A.

Smith actually said he thinks that it would be great if they could share.

Number one, the Ravens, Baltimore and D.C.

are like an hour, over an hour apart.

Right.

Depending on traffic, it could be sometimes more.

The Ravens already have a stadium that they're renovating.

Right.

The big point of contention of the D.C., the Washington Commander's Stadium, was that it was too far away from D.C., so why would we put it halfway there?

Just maybe the dumbest idea ever that Stephen A.

Smith brought up.

And then

President Trump weighed in.

And

this is tough because he gave us a nickname that I fear will stay.

Was this real?

Yeah, yeah.

What was the nickname?

He called us the Washington Whatevers.

And as it's a fucking banger, you got to take your hat off to the guy.

That sounds like a boomer.

The Washington Whatevers

should change the name back to the Redskins because he found out that the stadium is located, RFK Junior Stadium, where the second RFK one is going to be, that's on federal property, but they lease it out to the city council to then determine what to do.

Got it.

I think, I don't know, everybody.

Is he trying to change the topic about anything else?

No, I think he's just very passionate

about the Washington football team's team name.

But yeah, the way that it goes, I think that if he were to do this move, it should have been done in November before they gave the rights to the city council.

I think it might be too little, too late, but he's playing the hits right now.

Yeah.

And so I just, you know what?

It's a welcome distraction from Terry McLaurin.

Yeah.

Was that your cool throne?

That was my hot seat.

Yeah.

And then my cool throne is my basement.

Oh.

Because I fucking killed the spider.

Yes.

I found the spider the morning after we did the podcast on Thursday, and Blake saved my life.

And then I saved his life.

He saw the spider across the room, barked at it.

I got up, smashed the fuck out of that thing.

Who saved who?

Me and Blake together.

But yeah,

my basement is now certified spider-free.

That's a question.

There was only one spider.

Was that the same spider you saw?

It was the same one.

Are you sure?

Yeah, Greg.

Is Greg the spider?

Yeah.

That was the only spider that's down there.

He looked the same.

It's a brown recluse.

You got to start tagging him.

Killed it.

Like sharks.

There's no shark guy.

There's no need.

Did anyone reach out to you and say that if you see one brown recluse, there's a good chance that you see a lot of brown recluses?

Nope.

Because I saw people saying that.

Nope.

Did not hear from anybody regarding the amount, the estimation.

Nobody's doing a census of brown recluses in my life.

Solo traveler.

I think I left the door open one day.

A single brown recluse would have been better than a single hornet.

They're called brown recluses.

They're shy.

They don't like that.

They're more scared of you than you are of them.

Fact.

I love that.

Whenever any animal that could maul you to death.

Well, actually, they're more scared of you than that.

Well, I still don't want to fucking swim with a hippopotamus.

Yeah, but I'm sure that was the only one.

Hippos aren't scared of you.

No.

No, I'm pretty sure they are.

No.

No, no, I think

hippos are the one.

I'm going to be the one exactly.

I'm more scared of a hippopotamus than it is of me.

That's confirmed.

But I'm more scared of every animal than they are of me.

Like when people say, oh, yeah,

the black bear is more scared of you than you are of them.

No, that's not true.

That one might be true.

No, but I'm saying, if I saw a black bear, I'd be very scared.

But they're kind of bitches.

Do you think they would be as scared as I would?

I would be very scared.

I think so.

I don't know.

I think that's one of those situations.

If you saw any type of deadly animal, like a shark.

They say that with sharks.

Yeah, that's not true.

Which is not true.

That's not true about sharks.

Like, people just assume my scared level, it's higher.

Although I would fuck all these animals up.

What am I saying?

I think I'm stop bringing up brown recluse spider bites, please.

I know what I got bit by a brown recluse back in like

2000.

If it was a bad pull by me,

they're not generally scared of humans.

In fact, they're known to be highly aggressive and territorial.

Bad pull.

Yeah.

Bad pull.

I think any other kind of bear, polar bear, they're not scared at all.

But again, I would be so scared.

Like, even if you said, like, oh, they're not, they're more scared of you than you are.

No, I'm, I think,

I think hippos, I would be more scared of them than they are of me.

Yeah, wait, should I say that?

But we're agreeing.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Hippos,

polar bears, same thing.

Hippos.

They will fuck you up.

Moose.

Yeah, except they can't swim.

Is that true?

Yes.

Now I'm back on the bottom.

I don't know.

They can run in the water.

They can run on the bottom.

Do you guys know hippos?

They're scary.

They run on the bottom.

They float.

They can't swim.

They're not swimming when they're going fast.

They're running on the bottom of the water.

Floating is

swimming.

Floating.

But

they're not actively.

I'm pretty sure they run on the water.

I could be just so bad about all my hippo facts.

I'm pretty sure they run on the bottom of the water.

Oh, they said

hippo facts.

Am I right?

Swim

the way that most animals do.

They're too dense and cannot float.

There we go.

They don't even float.

They walk or run along the bottom of the.

All right, I'm back.

I'm one for one and I'm one for two in hippo facts.

Damn, so Fiona can't swim?

No.

They just kind of like bounce

on the ground on the bottom.

Are you more scared of Fiona than she is of you?

No, Fiona's darling.

I'm not scared of Fiona.

Fiona's darling.

Yeah.

All right, I feel back.

I got a rubber match coming up with hippo facts.

And I don't know where I'm going to go with it.

Pablo Escobar had hippos.

How strong is their jaw?

What that mouth do?

Extra strong.

One and a half tons of force.

That's extra strong.

That's a lot.

So there we go.

I'm on the rubber match.

How fast can they run?

Up to 25 miles an hour.

30.

20.

Oh, okay.

Slow.

I'd be like, I've won this

against myself.

That was your cool throne.

That was my cool throne.

Basically spider-free.

All right, my hot seat is

reporters of the New England Patriots because Rabel is back and

it's no longer the Jared Mayo.

Did you guys see this clip of Raybel?

Can you pull it up, Max?

I sent it to you.

I DM'd it to you.

He's a boss.

He's just going to be a boss.

That's the first, yeah, the bottom one.

Bottom one.

Nope, that's Titans.

Vrabel.

There you go.

This is Vrabel talking to reporters today.

Support cards all season.

Just now the guys are back.

I know there's 90 of them, but generally speaking.

91.

91, excuse me, International Pathway.

What how'd they do?

How do you feel about how the guys came back?

I mean, whether you were in a coma when I answered Tom's question

or typing on your phone or tweeting, I don't know, but I spent five minutes answering that question.

And I can go back through it,

but I'd rather not.

I won't know.

That's a tone sales.

That's a tone sales.

That's a man that has teenage sons at home.

Yeah.

He's had that same conversation.

Type it on your phone or tweeting.

That's where it hurts.

Yeah.

Also, can we just take a second to acknowledge what a great question it was, though?

Yeah.

Like the guys that are here,

how do they all look?

How do do they look that's a great question yeah you want to know yeah uh and then my cool throne is uh 31 teams uh in the nfl because the titans have kind of said they're probably not going to win the super bowl this year this also happened today at the press conference i think it was to their gm and coach if you want to pull that one up max uh when they asked them if they could win the super bowl this year I mean that's fucked up question

simple question the team you put on the field tomorrow can that team win the super bowl

listen we have yeah that's always the goal everybody that one stunned them that one stunned them they just are like you could even see i that's not callahan so who's the it must be their front office just kind of like he like giggled at it yeah that's a that's a mean question it is a mean question because titans he knows he's got two stories and he's deciding which button to press if you answer it like we have a lot of work to do then your story is titans don't plan on being competitive right if they say yes then you say titans are delusional right right so unfair question that's a tough one um oh by the way jamal adams is signing with the raiders but's boy still around yeah he's gonna get he's gonna look awesome in a ravens uniform and somehow it's gonna work out shout out to honey badger retiring today uh jimmy graham also retiring today Philip Rivers retired yesterday.

That was crazy.

Yeah.

How is he not already retired?

I don't know.

He's been, hasn't he been coaching football for two years?

So we just had a rash of retirements uh some legends of the game it did make me miss philip rivers and i watched that video yeah it also missed me missed made me miss having the chargers in san diego they should never have left that sucked agreed it just there was something about it it's like they were just felt unique they should have taken the stadium for the rams and the chargers and built it halfway between and temecula yeah that would have made everybody happy long beach don't know if that's right is that right-ish kind of okay no why are you shaking your head max long Beach is definitely closer to L.A.

than San Diego.

Yeah, but it's kind of halfway in the middle.

San Diego and L.A.

are close, though.

Yeah, San Diego and L.A.

are very close.

You want to fact-check me?

You could rollerblade there.

Yeah, okay, easily.

Give it to me, Max.

You just searched California map.

No, I am very close to the map.

Okay, okay, but also it's on the way.

It's on the way.

Where's Temecula?

Yeah, zoom in.

Temecula is pretty close to halfway, I think.

Temecula is also in the middle of the middle

right in the middle of LA.

No, you'd want to go.

Traffic.

Traffic.

What?

You didn't think about traffic.

What's about traffic?

Long Beach is like in LA.

It'sh.

What's that town with the D right there in the middle?

That's where they need to build it.

What about Oceanside?

That's how it looks like.

That's Oceanside.

Okay.

Yeah, there it is.

That's a good spot.

That's a perfect spot.

We're learning new stuff.

Building

a lot of stuff.

There's a whole lot of nice.

Carlsbad.

Yeah, I think that's mountains.

Wow.

That'd be cool, though.

Like a stadium on a mountain.

Yeah.

All right, Zach, hot seat cool throw.

Yes, I do have a quick Hot Seat Cool Throne for you.

So my hot seat today is going to be Stable Ronaldo.

He's a Twitch streamer, also part of the Face Clan.

Yeah.

So he has locked himself in a padded room.

Like a white padded room.

Doesn't know what time it is until he completes Elden Ring the video game.

Are you guys familiar with Elden Ring the Video Game?

I am not.

I am.

I recognize the name.

I've never played it or watched it.

Okay, so Elden Ring is an open-world RPG game.

There's a couple different builds you can pick from, different weapons you equip, and you go out and you have to defeat these bosses, right, to get to the end game.

It took him roughly seven hours and 165 attempts to defeat the first boss, Morgat.

And since he is in this padded room, I've got him in the hot seat because I'm a little worried he's going to go insane.

He's in isolation for the game.

Yes.

Does he have food?

Food.

There's a bathroom in there.

He also doesn't know what time it is, and he lost track of time super early on, like hour two or three.

So if he continues this track of like eight hours per boss,

there's 13 mandatory bosses to beat the game, but Morgan's one of the easiest bosses.

So 165 attempts on the first boss.

He's setting a pace for maybe insanity.

Yeah, so what's the math on that?

You said 13 bosses?

13 mandatory ones.

13 mandatory bosses.

He's going to be in there for like a week.

Hopefully not, but it could be a week.

Yeah, definitely.

It could be longer.

Yeah, he might go insane.

There's a chance.

It's a good idea, though.

Is this different than Skyrim?

Yeah.

Yes.

What's that?

Isn't that like Elder Ring?

It's similar.

Skyrim was.

Put some Skyrim.

Yeah, no, that's what I thought.

Oh, Elder Scrolls.

Sorry, sorry.

That was a stupid question.

I apologize, Zach.

Oh, no worries, Max.

All right.

That's why I got in the hot seat.

I do have a cool throne as well.

My cool throne goes to the creators of South Park because they struck a deal with Paramount for $1.5 billion over the next five years.

Good for them.

You guys into South Park?

Yeah.

Trey and Matt?

That's correct.

Legends of the game?

Yes.

I actually think somebody tweeted basketball at me for Best Bad Movie.

I would agree.

That's a very funny movie.

Good movie, though?

Yeah, good movie.

I liked it.

Fair.

Yeah.

So they got fucking paid, huh?

Five years.

They got to do 10 new episodes a year and then streaming rights to Paramount.

That's nothing.

That's so easy.

I think it's awesome.

1.5?

Insane payout.

Good for them.

Super cool thrown there.

That's pretty much still very funny.

We got to sell

Bitcoin.

Our podcast, though.

We need like...

Yeah.

That's a good idea.

Well, no, like, we need, what do you call them?

Residuals.

Yeah, so we air the pod, like, old podcast reruns.

Yeah.

And we get paid off those.

Like, they're getting paid for not really new episodes, just having their old episodes on Paramount.

Yeah, that's a good idea, Hank.

Like if you want to, yeah, Spotify, you want to go back and listen to them.

I actually think we still might kind of, in a roundabout way, get paid off that.

Yeah, we should.

Because they total up all the listens that we've had after a certain amount of time.

Yeah.

But yeah, reruns of the podcast game.

That's a game changer.

We got it.

Maybe reruns of the podcast game with

our commentary on top.

Yeah.

Or what if we did like a like a

basically like took all of our like stories and put it into like something and people could read it?

Nah.

And that probably would never work.

What if we did a summer vacation or we just did reruns while we were on vacation?

Yeah, I bet you would like that.

You should do that.

Yeah, Hank would love that.

Hank would just be like, no, don't worry.

The numbers are fine.

People like listening to March Madness 2019 in the middle of August.

Yeah, but think about how happy they would be when football is back, and so are we.

That's true.

Yeah, but we're part of people's everyday lives.

Yeah, but summer, people want to take, it gives them time to take off, too.

We're thinking about them.

No, I think that you could go back and think of the best episode ever.

And a lot of listeners never listen to that episode.

Yeah, okay.

And then what about the other 30 episode days in the summer?

Go back to the vault.

Yeah, there's a big vault.

Open the vault up.

You're not thinking about the vault.

I think we're doing just fine.

What if you just re-record every podcast episode like Taylor Swift did?

Yes, that's Madder Ghostwriter.

There you go.

That's a good idea, man.

Scare this hole.

Every single one.

I like that.

That's not a bad idea.

I like that.

Especially the one where we talked about Taylor Swift.

Yeah.

Then we get all the money.

Yeah.

Okay,

let's do our Mount Rushmore.

Good plan.

Good plan.

Okay, before we get to Mount Rushmore, truly, Truly Unruly is the high Alk hard seltzer that drinks light but parties hard.

Truly Unruly is a hard seltzer that breaks all the rules with 8% ABV.

It hits hard, but still tastes amazing.

Comes in four fresh flavors, Tropical Twist, Berry Blast, Citrus Crush, Strawberry Smash.

My personal favorite, the Truly Hard Seltzer tastes you love, the high Alk unruliness you're looking for.

It's summer, guys.

It's time to have some fun, kick back.

In every Chevy truck, dependability comes standard.

Okay, okay mount rushmore time mount rushmore of basic girl instagram captions yep hank has been wanting to do this mount rushmore for

years a long time years well i've thrown it out it was kind of like a running like internal maybe just an inside joke with myself where like people will in the group text throw out, you know, we need Mount Rushmore suggestions and I would say this and then it would just get ignored.

Yeah, it's been something else with you.

You didn't feel seen?

No, it was more just like, how many times will I say this before someone at least acknowledges that just no or say no.

It's been a passion project for you.

It's been something that you've been very, very interested in for a long time.

And as I realized he reads Instagram for the captions.

He doesn't even look at the pictures.

Right.

And then as I realized I was making this list, I was like, maybe this won't be the best Mount Rushmore, but that's all right.

Okay.

I think it's going to be good.

We also should note that you could easily do the Mount Rushmore basic guy Instagram captions, and it would be a lot of our captions of football is back.

Can't wait for football.

Maybe we will.

Maybe we'll do

next week.

We'll do that.

That's the over.

Worst best movies and basic guy Instagram captions.

Yeah.

Someone give me a bet.

These are all of our captions.

All right, we ready to go?

Who's up first?

We are up first.

Oh, a lot of pressure.

Conair.

Conair.

Do you want to talk about the Con Air pick?

Conair is a great movie.

I agree.

I like Conair a lot.

It didn't really play well with the rest of the selections that were out there.

I understand the criticism behind Con Air.

I got to look in the mirror.

It's a really good movie.

I'm going to do the thing that a coach does when he's just got a shitty, abysmal team.

It starts with me.

I got to take a long look in the mirror.

It starts and it ends with me.

I let the whole team.

And Hank, especially Hank.

I was going to say,

it doesn't matter whose pick it was and who wanted to choose it.

I was the one that said it.

And, you know,

as the person who was the captain of the day, I needed to, you know, make the right choice, and I didn't.

Man in the arena.

Man in the arena.

So we're in last place now?

Dead last.

I believe

that's the first time.

Big Cat and Zach were crying after two Mount Rushmores.

No, we were.

So I actually told you.

We got to regroup.

We got to figure it out.

No, we can't.

We can't get a bad start.

We didn't get our first start.

Do you still want to do the solo one soon?

Yeah, we can.

Zach and I,

we had a meeting where we were like, we're just, we're fumbling this, and

we got to stay strong, don't break.

Stay strong, don't break.

It's still anybody's game.

Zach also does this thing where he goes around and just asks everybody what they're thinking.

He's like, oh I'm so likable what's your pick oh wow memes

listen I didn't know when I didn't know when memes was gonna turn on Zach but it's happening

with other people in the office no no I just I just like outwardly just bounce things off I just hear ideas I don't take any of them down I would like to note if we're just airing things out uh backs and memes were in the kitchen for the movies draft with two of our very notable known movie guys

so who who's that just two dudes I know that know movies a lot not sure who they were but I just I heard them know a lot of movies.

Who?

Two dudes that you know that know movies.

Shane,

Shane and Jack.

Two certified movie guys.

Yeah, I'm not.

Okay.

That doesn't count.

Well, they are certified bad movie guys.

Just glad we're all here to rush more.

So, memes, you've turned on Zach.

No, no, no.

I think he's just playing like the, oh, I don't know anything.

Oh, yeah, he's around.

He's just

turned on Zach.

Memes turns on everyone, Zach.

Don't worry.

He hates all of our guts.

It sounds like Zach is also kind of turned on Max.

I didn't say a thing.

No, I didn't think Max said anything either.

Is it Booth in crisis?

I mean, PFT just made that up out of nowhere.

It's like you guys were getting tips.

That, I mean.

Can I maybe bring a story that will bring us back together?

When Zach and I were meeting to do this Mount Rushmore, we were looking,

doing some research on Instagram, and

then I just hear Zach say, oops, and I said, what happened?

He said, I just liked a picture from 2022.

And I was like, well, you got to keep that like.

Who was it, Zach?

It was a hot chick.

It was a bad look.

Yeah.

Unfortunately,

was it like someone, a hot chick you know, or like a hot chick with a bunch of followers?

That's the issue.

Hot chick I know.

Oh, like an attractive woman that I know.

I know so much worse because she'll see it.

If it's just like a celebrity, who cares?

That's tough.

Tough start to the day.

But maybe, I mean, you know, now you're, now you're rising star.

Maybe that's like

a spark she needs.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That would, I mean, she, yeah, she comes back to her Instagram.

She's like, ooh, Zach.

I do like how.

Oh, and he's also like, he's known now, and now

he's revisiting 2022.

She thought she missed her chance with you.

Zach, I have one very important question for you.

Yes, sir.

This person that you liked their Instagram from 2022.

How old is this person?

26.

Okay.

Because that could have gotten dangerous.

What do you mean?

If the person was 21 and he liked a picture from 2022.

Oh, yeah.

That's that's that's a randish animal.

That could have been a bad situation.

26 year old.

That's a fair point.

Confirmed.

I can get a birth date if we need to do that.

Exactly.

I trust you.

Like to see the certificate.

It is funny that you can trace like every beef on part of my take has its genesis somewhere in Mount Rushmore season.

Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

The death of this podcast will happen during Mount Rushmore season.

That is a fact.

Either that or well, actually, no, because if Yellich wins a home run derby, it will be during Mount Rushmore season.

We should get the, what's the, what's it doomsday clock we need a doomsday clock for for pardon my take we just need like a does it get closer

right now we're at like we need like a we need a clock we need a clock center yeah we do need a clock center so number of hours until football starts the ryan rasillo clock the ryan rasillo clock we're gonna need uh yeah the doomsday clock which is set back to like 1115 right now we're nowhere close to mid no we're in a good spot yeah except for memes or maybe there's just a clock of uh last time memes thought about murdering someone on this show and it's just always at zero days.

Yeah,

that works.

Okay, let's do the Mount Rush war.

Good preamble, guys.

All right, first pick.

Memes hate Zach.

First pick.

No, no, I like him.

You guys just did the, oh, we stink at this, and then just rattled off three.

Yeah, we got we had a come to Jesus moment where we got strong, didn't break.

All right, one, one.

I did a thing.

Yeah, okay.

Had it on our list.

Could vet on our list.

That can mean so many different things.

Yep.

Yep.

The engagement ring is obviously the big one, but then, you know, the first house, people buy a house, you know, buy a new car.

It's always I did a thing.

A baby.

A baby.

Do they do it for a baby?

I don't think they do it for a baby.

No, they do.

They do it for a baby?

Sure.

Yeah, I did a thing.

That's why I did a thing is a hilariously broadcast.

Yeah, I did a thing is great.

I think it's funnier if the guy does I did a thing.

When they do

get their hair cut, yeah, get a new haircut, I did a thing.

Get a tattoo.

Yep.

Yep.

Tattoo also plays.

Yep.

All right.

Good.

Hey, great pick, memes.

Good pick.

Good Good one, one.

We got our 1-1, PFT.

Is this us?

Right?

Yeah.

My heart is full.

Just heart is full.

Heart is full.

Heart is full.

Could be anything.

Okay.

Could just be a baby.

My heart is full.

Picture of their face.

It was on our list.

Picture of the family.

Yep.

Yep.

Just a picture of the beach.

Picture of a drink.

A thirst trap.

Yep.

Good one.

Good one.

Had it on there.

Attack.

Three and seven.

I think three and seven are great picks.

Yeah, they kind of go together, too.

All right, so our first pick's going to be in my blank era.

So any era where they've just decided they're in a new era.

It could be like a fashion choice, city, whatever.

They're just in their era.

What era are you currently in?

In my tired era, I would say.

Just always tired.

I think that's probably right.

You're in your golf era.

I'm in my golf era for sure.

You're in your golf era.

I'm in my work era.

What?

I think I'm in my summer era.

I'm in my children era.

Yeah.

What?

Oh, because of golf.

Memes, what era are you in?

In my I Hate Zach era?

No, I love Zach.

Yeah, memes' eras are just different people that he hates in this show.

Yeah.

Okay.

That is a good thing because I have Chase Outley's coming up and you'll hear that, too.

Yeah, you will.

And then

any Taylor Swift lyric is our next pick.

Just any Taylor Swift lyric.

They just throw it on there.

Look what you made me do.

Yeah, just literally any Taylor Swift lyric.

And that can fit to any mood, anything they're doing at any time.

Shade never made anyone less gay.

You didn't like that pick, Hank?

That was a good pick.

Oh, okay.

What?

I didn't say anything.

You did a lot.

You went like this.

Sometimes I just hope Max starts fighting.

I'm not going.

I'm not going to.

Well, no, it's interesting.

It's broad.

It's broad.

Big Hat's definitely the biggest Taylor Swift fan on this podcast.

Easily.

Documented.

Easily.

And to go back to back.

Bonafide Swifty.

Double dipping.

Bonafide Swifty.

It's broad, but that's fine.

All right.

I didn't object.

Okay.

They're called Women Hank.

Is that us you?

It's you.

Okay.

Or, yeah.

Yeah, well, yeah, that's pretty much Hank.

Like, Hank, Hank.

This is Hank's.

Yeah, this is Hank.

Listen, I hate it.

We guys fucking do this every fucking time.

No one ever has suggestions from Mount Rushmores.

No one.

We need Mount Rushmores.

I throw out a suggestion.

Then we choose it, and you're like, this is Hanks.

Hank, Hank, Hank.

I just like that

turn.

Maybe someone else should suggest a Mount Rushmore.

Maybe then it won't be me.

You guys don't do anything.

All I did was say it was just turn.

We don't do anything.

Do we want Hank to work or do we not want Hank to work?

We need to make up our mind.

We just got accused of not doing anything.

All right, so we're going to go.

Actually, I'm in my not doing anything era.

Hank, this one is mine.

This was my contribution to the list.

Yeah, but

it's his Mount Rushmore.

It's his Mount Rushmore.

Everything is ours, PFT.

I didn't say you picked Conair, I said I did.

But that, you, I said, what do you want, one one?

You said Conair.

I want a kangaroo jack.

That doesn't matter, though.

I picked.

I did.

All right, our second pick is felt cute, might delete later.

Yep, yep, never gets deleted.

Yep.

0% deletion rate on a might delete.

Always, always, always.

Good pick.

Thanks.

Good pick, PFT.

I feel like that's more of like a cliche of a caption than like an actual caption.

No, it's an actual caption.

Is it?

How does something become a cliche?

Good question.

But

they're not actually captioning it that they're now mocking

people used to.

There's another one that I also have in that vein that I'm not, that I'll say for honorable mention.

That would be on the Mount Rushmore.

It's a Mount Rushmore.

Is George Washington still alive, Max?

Is Thomas Jefferson still alive?

It's a cliche of

George Washington.

Yeah, I just feel like it's more of a meme than it is, than it is.

No girls will do that in this.

In this day and age, in this era?

You're wrong.

Unless it's an actually disgusting picture and they're felt cute, might delete later as a joke.

But the joke I think is a good idea.

If you do basic cats, I feel like someone spent more time thinking about this than I have.

Well, no, you've

also vowed not.

Also, Max.

Well, no, you guys are giving me shit as a captioning.

Max, I like Max's, Max's, Max is breaking it down nicely.

Yeah.

It's a good topic.

Yeah.

Yeah, no,

I'm adding.

It's a great topic, Ham.

I'm adding to the Rushboard.

But no one's thought about this as much as you.

You've been thinking about it for years.

I've always thought this would be a good Mountain Rush board.

Okay, I'm going to go with our next one, Mentally.

I am here.

Ooh, like that.

That's just like, if it's not summer, it's just like an excuse for girls to post

bikini pictures because it's like, I really wish that I was in the Caribbean in December.

So here's the bikini picture.

Yep.

And, yep.

And the next one we were going to do is Life Lately.

And that's

just a dump of whatever they're doing at the moment.

Yep.

Yep.

All right.

Good picks.

This is, We're back to Hank again, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

See the one I have highlighted one?

You guys have a live ju?

I don't see the one you have highlighted.

Do you need a timeout?

No, I mean, it's PFT is.

You want to tell me where on the list of this, Hank?

Show me where.

Just rip it.

This is going to involve some counting.

Hank, rip it.

No, it's PFT's ball.

Which rip it.

Hank, which one are you highlighting?

12.

Oh, God.

He's counting.

This is Mike Princessa.

The one that starts with the letter B?

Yeah.

That one doesn't even really work, though.

You don't know what it is?

I don't know.

Take me a second.

Rip it.

Dude, you looked at me.

Do it.

You know what I felt like right there?

It's like when Max was at the Eagles game and somebody said, oh, shit, they score here.

I just, I'm ahead on my phone.

Yeah.

Max, you believed it for a second.

What else do you think?

Okay,

trust yourself.

On the bottom list, Hank, I like number four.

Trust yourself.

I like number three.

You guys got to trust yourself.

Okay, we're going to trust yourself.

All right, yeah.

Let's go for it.

I'm going to go with Hank.

All right, do it.

Booked and busy.

Ooh.

Booked and busy.

Okay.

That's also just.

I know what that means, but Hank, why don't you explain what that means?

That's just like if they're on vacation.

All these are basically just like ways for girls to post like thirst traps or bikini pictures.

And it'll be this girl on a beach

and just like booked and busy.

Yeah.

But she's just on vacation.

Yep.

All right.

Zach, I feel strong about our last.

Stay strong, don't break.

I think we go pretty easy four and nine.

I like four and nine.

Do you like those two?

Do you like nine over 11?

Hmm.

Yeah, I don't really, yeah.

Okay, we'll go nine and nine.

All right, so similar to the vacation one,

they'll just do like a picture at a beach or or something and say, never leaving this place.

When you're on vacation, you literally are going to leave this place.

How does that look on a...

How do you want that to be described on a graphic?

Never leaving this place.

Never leaving this place.

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I guess we could do parentheses vacation.

No, I'm not.

Yeah, never leaving this place.

Never leaving this place.

And then an old classic

one that I think is still around about last night.

And it's just a bunch of pictures of like an awesome party or something.

And it's just like, this is the coolest night ever about last night.

That plays, they usually have like dot dot after it, not even three dots, just dot dot.

Yeah,

Hank and I are we're in a fight right now.

Hey, it's your ball.

I feel strong.

I feel like we stayed strong.

I feel good about this one.

Yep, Hank feels very strongly about his.

I'm gonna go with what Hank said.

XOXO.

XOXO.

Yeah.

No,

that

hugs and kicks.

That's just like when you don't have anything to put it for a caption.

Yep.

Again, it's just like they have a hot picture themselves.

They don't actually care what the caption is.

They just want to post a hot picture episode.

Correct.

Okay, last pick.

Should I say it?

Good pick.

Okay, so last one we did mentally I'm here.

So that's when you're

outside of vacation hours, when you're inside of vacation hours, just out of office.

Ooh, out of office seconds.

and it just shows you

on your nice vacation.

Yep.

How do you want that to look on the graphic?

Out of office.

Okay.

Great.

Did no one pick Living My Best Life, or was that an early pick?

No one picked that.

That's a big one.

That's a big one.

But I also think that's in the cliche.

So the one that I was thinking of

as also in cliche is like hot dogs are legs.

Yeah.

Like, it's not.

It has become so much of a joke that it's not not actually a basic girl Instagram caption.

One that we threw out there based on our research, Zach, liking that picture of 2022,

would you guys have accepted no caption?

Because I think that's getting hot.

Yep, we have.

Oh.

Well, no, we were going to do

that one too.

Yeah.

But there also is like the trend of just literally no caption.

Yeah.

Power movie.

Just posting your hottest pictures with no caption.

Or just like an emoji, like a flower emoji.

Sun emoji.

We also thought about doing just

emoji.

Yeah.

The stars one.

Yeah.

Like witchy stars.

Yeah, we had the hand hand, the hand heart.

Yeah.

That was it.

The uh do not disturb.

Yeah, some of the ones that disturb is a good one.

The city, airplane emoji, city with vacation picks.

That's more of like a bio.

Yeah.

Like you put that, I'm kind of bi-coastal.

Or red pin city.

Yeah.

Like red pin Ibiza.

That's it.

It's tough to.

Yeah, because it's got to be the city.

Although I did, I threw out

just Miami mode.

Yeah.

Every girl goes to Miami at some point.

Here's another one.

Euro dump.

Yeah.

Euro dump.

We had Q2 dump.

Dump.

Q2 dump.

Ah.

That's a good one.

Blank.

That's Big Cat interviewing Trevor Lawrence.

I should start posting my Q2 dump.

My Q2 dump would be bad.

Q2 dump of just all your shit.

That you took in the past quarter would be hilarious.

You do Euro dump, but it's spelled G-Y-R-O.

Yeah.

If I ever go to Ibiza,

if I ever go to Ibiza, I will do a Biza dump with the red pin, and it will just be my shits.

The one that I really liked that Hank talked me out of was New Hair, who this?

Ooh, long hair, don't care.

Long hair, don't care.

Yeah.

I think that, again, is in

my category.

I kind of agree.

What about a moment for the dress whenever they get really fancy?

Yep.

That's a good one.

A moment for the dress is a really good one.

Yep.

What about Sip Sangria in repeat?

Ooh, I like that.

I can't say I've ever seen that one.

That was real research.

This is a big.

I have some real research.

This is a big one for summertime because, like, country concerts.

So it's just blank girl with a country twist.

So it's like Chicago girl with a country twist.

They literally just went and stood in a parking lot at the United Center.

They got boots, though.

Yeah, yeah.

Gang's all here.

Yeah.

A theme, you say?

Bet.

I didn't really understand that one.

Twin Flame for their best friend?

Yep.

Sushi Sunday.

Sushi.

Sushi Sundae.

That's just a thing.

City Girls on Top?

City Girls on Top.

Brad Summers, that's still going on.

D and D.

Hot Girl Summers.

What's DD?

That was Do Not Disturb.

Okay.

Real Hot Girl shit?

Real Hot Girl shit.

I like that.

Booked and busy.

Booked and busy.

You picked it.

We took a break.

the fuck.

You specifically asked me to take reading our list.

Booked and busy, I've never seen.

I didn't.

You didn't want to get contentious?

I didn't want to yell at you because we were kind of in a contentious mode there.

That was a terrible pick.

My happy place.

My happy place is good.

Yep.

Catching flights, not feelings.

Did we do that?

I don't know if that's a cliche one.

Yeah, Hank just smirked.

Forever That Girl?

Yep.

Chasing Sunsets.

Did we do that one?

I think that's a thing that girls do.

I really like Sushi Sunday.

I think also the Sushi Sunday.

Well, I think Hank and I might have done some research on the same

from the same book.

I mean, search booked and busy on Instagram, Max.

I'm just

basic after basic after basic after basic after basic.

Listen, you're the expert in this topic.

No, it's just, you know, it's a group topic.

What about the nights we'll never remember and the friends we won't forget?

That's kind of like a guy one, I think.

Is it?

Yeah.

I was trying to think of one, but it doesn't really work.

Do we add emojis to our captions?

No.

No?

Yeah, too late.

You would have to.

But I want to know what emoji, what are you specifically a book

in a B?

Oh.

The nails getting polished.

Nails stars also.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I was trying to think of

how to describe this one, but one that I see every now and then is like a pregnancy announcement, but it's just

the dog being like,

Otis is going to be a big brother.

That's how they announce it.

Like, well, he's not a human.

We also have,

yeah.

We had Take Me Back, but it seemed, I thought it was too similar to mentally I'm here.

Yeah.

Take me back.

That's also kind of, yeah.

It's just the girl who was in the winter and wants to post and feels like posting, you know, bikini.

Some hot pictures.

Yeah.

Same time next week or like same time next year.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Or in like some awesome place.

In my element, did we do that one?

Did you say this is 20-something, PFT?

I did not.

This is 20-something.

Ooh.

I like that one.

I like that one.

All right, I think that was a good Mount Rush one.

I think Hank is probably the subject matter expert on this, so you guys are a little bit behind Hank.

You might not be up on behalf of Hank.

What the fuck are you talking about?

We all have Instagram.

No, I'm saying, but you obviously know more about it than most of us.

Why?

Why are we trying to get away from that?

I'm trying to compliment you on how.

How?

I don't understand this.

Booked and busy is a good pick.

You're booked, you're busy.

You guys are just fighting with each other.

You're on the same team.

I'm trying to gas my boy up.

Who signed you up?

I just can't.

I don't know who signed you.

I was trying to get Big Cat's attention.

I was like, look at them.

Look at the two of them fighting with each other.

I'm trying to gass you up.

I'm paying you a compliment.

You're slamming the brakes.

Do you have Instagram?

I do have Instagram.

Do you have Instagram?

Yeah.

You guys have Instagram?

Confirm.

Okay, so yeah,

we're all equally as qualified.

Yeah.

A subtle sleigh?

It's a good pick.

Would you say

this whole thing was a subtle sleigh?

Big sleigh.

Is it big sleigh?

I think this is a great Mount Rushman.

This one was brad as fuck.

This is a very great Mount Rushmore.

I think basic bro Instagrams would work too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Dudes rock.

Dudes Rock is a great man's rock.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Real men of genius for anything a dude does.

Football guy.

Oh, a dude's on his lawnmower?

Dudes rock.

He's on lawnmower drinking a beer.

Dudes rock.

Oh, a guy's drinking with himself, like with his buddies in the backyard.

Dudes rock.

It goes for everything.

That might just be the Mount Rushmore.

Dudes Rock.

Whoever gets the first pick just wins.

Vegas wasn't ready.

The Mount Rushboard of Dudes Rocking Moments is a good one.

Like throughout history.

Wasn't ready is actually a good one.

The Big T clip of talking about Wasn't Ready is so funny.

Yeah.

X is not ready.

Vegas is not ready.

Yes, it is.

Vegas has seen.

19-year-old sorority girls before.

They are prepared.

They're absolutely ready.

Nashville, definitely ready for your bachelorette party.

I promise it will be the same when you leave as when you got there.

Is there a part of you, Hank, though, like

you've been wanting to do this Mount Rush versus Rushmore for so long?

Now that we've done it, it's like over?

Like, is there a part of you that's going to be like, well, what do I have to look forward to now?

Yeah, I can retire.

Yeah.

Oh, you're announcing your retirement?

I've been working on getting this done.

No, I just...

You guys haven't been been doing anything.

In the future, Hank is going to be thinking, mentally, I'm here.

He's going to be.

At the Mount Rushmore of Instagram caption drinks.

Memes is now saying that we should do a Mountain Rushmore of Dudes Rock moments.

Well, that's what PFT said.

I just started.

Oh, you're a good idea, memes.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

That's a great idea.

I started rattling.

Sounds like you're a little too booked and busy, Max.

I started rattling off picks.

Okay, okay.

That's on me.

That's on me.

Yep.

Good Mount Rushmore.

Do you feel good, Hank?

I feel great.

I feel like that was good.

I feel like Kevin had one where we got,

yeah, I feel like I'm justified

and trying.

Yeah.

Yeah,

that was a good Mount Rushmore.

Do you think you have another good Mount Rushmore in you, or is it just back to next mini golf?

Don't get them fired up.

Don't get them fired up.

I'll let you pick the next one.

Zach, what are your thoughts on Hank's draft?

I think the draft went well.

I think it was a good topic.

Everybody came with captions.

Good captions, boys.

Who do you think, if you were to do the

Wozniak?

Steve Korzaki.

That's already.

Who would you say won?

There's no way to know.

There is no way to know.

No.

Smart guy.

He's a really smart guy.

I feel like things are

good.

Things are great with me and Hank.

We had a players-only meeting kind of thing.

I think Hank's mad at everyone.

I think he might be mad at me.

I think he's mad at everyone.

He mad at everyone.

Except for Zach.

Anyone who has an Instagram, he's mad at.

Let's get to the chase.

Hank is laser-focused on golf this weekend.

He's got a big tournament this weekend.

You're going to win.

No, I'm just, I'm, I'm trying to do my job.

Yeah.

And then it's like, oh.

He's big slaying.

He's little slaying and big slaying.

You're doing a great job.

Okay.

Sweetie.

That was great, Rushmore.

Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very, very special guest.

He is a World Series champion.

It is Chase Utley.

Chase, thank you for coming by.

First question is

maybe a stupid question, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway.

What's cooler, winning a World Series, or having the nickname the man?

Because having the nickname the man seems like the coolest thing possible.

First off, thanks for having me on the show.

I'm a beautiful setting here.

To answer your question, I mean, you can't go wrong with winning a World Series.

Obviously, Harry Callis

gave me a great nickname that'll kind of follow me forever.

But winning a World Series,

team championship, it doesn't get any better than that.

Yeah.

Or you're the man.

You're the only man.

Yeah.

The man.

Fair.

We had a lot of men.

A lot of men.

But yes, 25 of them.

Yeah.

Who are some of the other men that you played with?

Well, you had Shane Victorino on here.

I imagine he was chatting it up quite a bit.

It might actually be a dude.

I think Shane Victorino.

Yeah, he's a dude.

He's a dude.

Ryan Howard, big dude.

Man's a man.

Jimmy Rollins, little dude.

We had some good Pat Burl, Jason Worth.

Yeah.

There's a lot of amazing players we had.

Jim Tomey?

Jim Tomey, early in my career, he's actually my favorite player growing up.

Really?

Yeah, so I remember in spring training, they put my locker right next to him, which I was kind of in awe.

I thought it was pretty amazing, a guy that I emulated as a kid in my childhood, wanted to hit like him.

Not quite the same, but I tried.

And then to share a locker next to him was pretty special.

Was it how intimidating was it when you got called up and you're like, oh shit, this is,

he's the strongest guy ever.

Yeah.

Have you met him?

No.

Yeah, but you're right.

He's huge forearms, huge hands, just extremely strong.

But he's like, he's a sweetheart, right?

So he welcomes you into

his family right away.

So may it eases the tension a little bit so i was yes in awe but uh he made me feel comfortable yeah you guys still keep in touch the uh the world series team yeah yeah we do we played golf last summer in um

out in the uk yeah we have a we have a chat group that we talk a little all right a little smack back and forth so you do you live in the uk full-time

we did so we just you just moved

we were in the uk for three years in london to be precise okay so what were you doing you were the baseball ambassador to Europe.

To Europe.

Correct.

What does that entail?

Great question.

Have you spent much time in Europe?

No.

I've been once a year.

Yeah.

Baseball isn't a huge sport in Europe.

So

one, it was a family adventure that my wife and I wanted to go on.

And two, have the ability to promote a sport that I love.

So essentially

promoting baseball.

There's been some games in London the past several years which were huge successes.

So just promote it, get it on everyone's radar.

You have soccer slash, it's really football is what they call it, is a huge sport there, right?

So it's hard to kind of

get inside of that sport, but we're working on it.

Are you trying to steal some of the market share away from cricket?

I mean, ideally, that'd be great.

I mean, cricket is a huge sport as well, huge all around the world, India to be precise.

But yeah, it has a

very traditional sport in the UK.

It's like baseball, it is to the United States, America's pastime.

So just trying to just kind of infiltrate a little bit and get baseball on people's radars.

Was part of your job teaching Europeans how to throw?

Because Europeans throwing is so funny.

You just forget they don't throw.

Like they don't throw.

You're right, they don't throw them.

If you kick them a ball, they'll be able to juggle it when like a two-year-old will be able to have like the foot control of Messi.

But if they try to throw a baseball, they look like the dumbest people in the world.

Yeah, yeah, their skill set with their feet is pretty, pretty spectacular.

But you're right.

Their throwing aspect is

not necessary there.

So I was a coach for my son's middle school baseball team.

And of the 17 kids that played, there were probably four or five that had played organized baseball before, kind of knew what was going on.

There were a few that had maybe played with their dads in the past, and there were a handful that had never touched a baseball in their life.

So that was an interesting conversation of trying to get them to understand like body awareness and how to hold the ball.

Right.

I try to keep it easy for them, but yeah, the throwing motion is not a natural thing.

Did your son dominate?

Yeah,

he was pretty good.

I'm not sure he would be as good in the States, but yeah, over there, yeah.

But that, that might be like a parenting hack right there.

Like I have three kids.

I might just move them to England for three years so they can dominate in baseball and like football.

Fantastic idea.

Get the confidence up, come back.

Maybe it doesn't go so well here, but at least you had those years, those glory days.

Yeah, yeah, I like that.

I worked with Ashton Ginty, right?

He played football over in Germany for like the first, I want to say like 15 or 16 years of his life.

Then he came back over and he was like, I'm the man.

Yeah.

And he just kept being the man.

Yeah.

Much like you.

Yeah.

The man.

I love it.

You guys are good.

Was there an age when you realized that you were going to be the man?

Like when was baseball like, oh, this is actually a future?

Probably not until high school, to be honest.

I played a bunch of different sports growing up, like majority of my friends did.

Majority of guys that my generation did.

Played a bunch of basketball, played baseball, played soccer.

We played, you know, street hockey.

We played it all.

Probably in high school is when I probably started separating myself a bit from my peers on the baseball field.

I was a little guy, and I started to grow a bit in high school, and that's kind of when I started to actually, this could be an opportunity.

Yeah, and then, and so you got drafted by the Dodgers, your hometown team, and then you're like, no, I'm going to go to UCLA.

Was that a hard decision?

It was a hard decision.

Yeah, I was drafted in the second round, so like pretty, pretty high up there.

And, you know, I had my dad negotiate with the Dodgers, and we got to a point where it was getting close, it made some sense.

I said, all right, well, I'm going to go down with my high school buddies on our senior trip down to Cabo San Lucas, and we come back, we'll, we'll finalize everything.

Went down there for a week with a bunch of my buddies, and then just kind of slowly over the course of that week realized that I think I wanted to go to college.

I wanted to kind of experience the college atmosphere in my college year.

So I came back and told told my parents that I didn't want to sign professionally.

I wanted to go to school, continue my education as well as my baseball education.

And luckily, it worked out.

Yeah, it worked out because then you ended up being, what, the 15th pick?

By the Phillies.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You've done your homework.

Yeah.

I mean, well, I saw when I saw it, I was reading about it.

I was like.

He got $875,000 offered from the Dodgers when he was in high school, and he turned it down.

Like, what an idiot.

But then I was like, he went to UCLA, and then it ended up being like 1.8 or whatever it is in a first rounder pretty good bet on yourself it was it was a bet on myself but also the I felt like if baseball was really meant to be I would still I would still have an opportunity after college yeah I think I mean especially looking back on it those college years are impaired were imperative for me growing up as a young adult navigating on my own and also still continue to build my baseball skills.

Yeah.

So you get 1.8 right out of college and then you have to then, which is pretty incredible.

You have to pay tax on that,

which I didn't really realize.

So you only got a million dollars when you graduated from college.

That I think a lot of people would not be able to handle that

right off the bat.

How were you able to get through that and focus on what you had to do to actually be good at the job that you already got paid to do?

My goal was to be the best player I could be.

I know everyone says that, but truly that was my goal, is to try to continue to improve.

And obviously, yeah, having some money in the bank was nice.

I started investing it.

It wasn't the best time to invest it considering it was like the summer of 2000 and then the bubble hit.

So that was my first experience of the stock market and thinking, wait, maybe this, not sure what's

not all cracked up what it's supposed to be.

But

yeah, enjoyed it.

I just wanted to improve.

So luckily I've had some great coaches on my side in high school and college that kind of motivated me and pushed me to be the best I could.

And again, luckily I had some great coaches the minor leagues as well.

Yeah.

It worked out really well for you.

Obviously, you had a great career.

You were adored by the citizens of Philadelphia.

The entire city loves you.

But I think you were maybe the most hated player by all the teams that the Phillies were playing against.

How long did it take for you to be okay with being hated?

Actually, from, I don't know, about day one.

Yeah.

I remember my first at-bat in the big leagues.

We were in Philadelphia at Veterans Stadium, and I was, I think I pinched hit late in the game.

We were were getting, we were getting killed at the time and I, and I felt like I was having a good at-bat.

Foul and pitch after pitch off, probably seven or eight, nine pitches later, I ended up striking out.

And as I'm walking back to the dugout, the home fans of Philadelphia just boo me all the way back to the dugout.

So that was a quick reality of like, okay, you have to have some thick skin here if your home fans are going to boo you.

So

going to an opposing stadium, I always felt like if they're going to, they're booing you for a reason, right?

They're trying to get under your skin.

And I tried my best to not let it affect me.

Have you ever heard somebody say, fuck Chase Outley in the wild, when they didn't know that you were there?

Plenty of times.

Oh, didn't know I was there.

Yeah, and you're like, hey, hey, that's me.

Wait a second.

No, I'm not sure I've heard that.

Definitely plenty of times where I'm on the field or hanging around the stadium.

Yes, I've definitely heard that.

And I appreciate it.

I love this fan support.

Yeah.

Wait, so your first hit in the big leagues is a home run, and you sprinted around the bases.

I did.

16.3 seconds.

Kind of a try-hard move, wouldn't you say?

Well, that was fired up.

I mean, think about it.

You get to the big leagues, you get a hit, and it's actually a home run, and it was a grand slam to be.

Yeah.

So, yeah, super fired up.

I didn't really feel my feet.

You're just kind of sprinting around the bases.

I mean, I've always kind of run hard a lot and not try to show up to the other team.

That was probably a little bit exaggerated.

Yeah.

Looking back on it, I'm not sure I would change it, but it's really fast.

That was fast.

That's really fast.

That's really fast.

should have enjoyed it more i definitely should have enjoyed it yeah did you ever uh sprint to first base on a walk never yeah that's that's a move there were a few college teams that did that and i didn't like i didn't think that was yeah not part of the game no yeah i want to ask you about a great play that you made in the world series the pump fake to first base throw home um it might be the best pump fake in the history of baseball did you know that you were going to pump fake it

not when it was first hit no as i mean you have this internal time clock in your head as you're going for the ball i was shifted not to get too many details, but I was shifted towards the first base because we had a left-handed pitcher that threw sinkers in, so most left-handed hitters pulled the ball.

And he hit the opposite direction of where I was actually playing.

So it was kind of a long run to get there.

I knew the run on second base mattered.

That mattered more than the guy in the batter's box.

So as soon as I caught it, I realized, like, I'm not sure I'm going to have much of a play.

So maybe pump fake it and see what happens.

And it was an aggressive base running move.

Luckily,

Carlos Rees made a good catch and tagged.

Yeah, it was a sick play.

It was a great pump fake because I, watching it back, I was like, I don't think he knew he was going to pump fake until the very last second, which made it such a good point.

You're absolutely right.

You're absolutely right.

Yeah, because you, like I said, this internal time clock that you have, you just realize something's this isn't.

Maybe I make a perfect throw and he's out, but maybe not.

Maybe I throw it away, unclear what could happen.

So it was better to keep it in my hand

and try with the next guy.

Luckily, he kept going.

Yeah.

And playing second base, so you coming up, you played shortstop in third base, right?

And you, and you get moved to second base.

Did you take that as like an insult?

Or were you like, I'm, because, you know, it, it's a different position.

It's obviously third baseman's got a really strong arm.

Was there any part of you like, what the fuck?

I'm a third baseman.

I could play this position.

No, I was a shortstop in college my first, my freshman year.

And after making 30-something errors my freshman year,

I wasn't really, I wasn't really shortstop.

I didn't have the athleticism or the arm strength to really play a shortstop.

That's when I moved to second base, and I was happy to.

It's not an easy position, but it's an easier position than shortstop.

I think shortstop's the hardest position on the entire baseball field.

And guys that are successful at it and make it look easy, it's pretty special.

Do you think you could, like, was there a point where you could

turn a double play with Jimmy Rollins with your eyes closed?

Both of you guys having your eyes closed?

We turned a lot of double play.

Yeah, you guys had it down.

Yeah, maybe not.

Maybe sometimes I might have had my eyes closed, to be honest with you.

But no, he was, he was, he was, when I talk about great shortstops, he was one of the greatest shortstops because he would always give me great feeds um so it was hard for me to kind of screw it up even though i did screw some up but most of the time he would uh give me a perfect feed and make it an easy easy double play so i was again lucky to have him on my on the other side yeah yeah do you know where you rank in uh hit by pitches all time it's funny funny you bring that up my son actually recently um I think we were watching a game and somebody got hit.

And my son looks at me and goes, do you think that hurt?

i was like yeah probably hurt but it goes away after you know 30 seconds or a minute um and he's like dad don't you have like a record for getting hit by pitches yeah and i was like i've had hit i got hit by a lot of pitches yeah um but yeah i think it's in the top 10 all

not sure it's a stat that like is that impressive oh it definitely is you're you're ninth all time in the history of major league baseball you're ninth you also got hit by a pitch three times in a single game uh that is impressive That's as tough as tough could be.

Was there a specific one where you're like, oh man, that one?

There's a few.

I think about it.

I got hit in the hand.

I broke my hand.

I think about that one because it took me out a month.

And that was in 2007.

And we were having a, I was, I personally, we were having a good season as a team, but I personally was having a really good season.

So that slowed me down a little bit.

The one that hurt the most, I got hit like underneath the bicep one time that my whole arm went numb and my hands like crunched together and i couldn't i couldn't open it got you on the nerve yeah yeah it got me on a nerve it probably took i don't know a minute or so it felt like eternity probably took a minute for my hands to like peel back uh that one i remember quite a bit and did you ever have a uh like getting hit by a pitch and then the next time you're in the box having like a little hesitancy because that would be a natural human reaction yeah no to be honest with you that's no i mean there's a few pitchers that i faced that were fairly intimidating like aroldis chapman being big, tall, left-hander, kind of throws from here and throws 100 and something.

And he didn't know where it was going.

He was a little wrecked.

So he, I was slightly, like most lefties, were slightly uncomfortable facing him.

Yeah.

Do you have one that you remember that you're like, that kind of felt good?

Yeah.

There's a bunch of them, especially like if the bases are loaded, those felt good.

Yeah.

Get on base.

I mean, I had Ryan Howard hitting behind me, Jason Wirth, sometimes Pat Burrell hitting behind me.

So we had some big power hitters hitting behind me.

So anytime I can get on base, I felt like it was an advantage to us.

Yeah.

You're a guy that I could imagine at some point got hit by a pitch because you pimped getting hit by a pitch.

Like, you got hit by a pitch, you know what I'm saying?

And then, and then you like started running to first base and you're like flexing a little bit, bat flip.

You're like, that was awesome.

That felt great.

And you're like, you can't show me up getting hit by my pitch.

I tried to show you again.

I mean,

I tried not to show much emotion out there for whatever reason.

That's kind of how I was taught at a young age.

And I, I stuck to it.

Jimmy Rollins used to give me shit all the time of like, dude, you got to smile a little bit more.

You got to show a little bit more.

And I just couldn't do it.

That was not in my MO.

Were you like that in the clubhouse or just like out on the field?

Yeah, probably a few hours before game time is when it started for me.

It was fairly loose prior to that, but once it got closer to game time, it was like, put your game face on and stuck with it.

Well, Jimmy claims that he made you laugh all the time, but you just always had your glove over your mouth.

True.

So on the field, you were laughing.

True.

That is true.

As I got a little bullet for sure.

Yeah.

Well, jimmy's a funny guy yeah um i can't necessarily repeat everything we were laughing about but yeah um but for for whatever reason i didn't i didn't feel that it was appropriate for the camera to see me smiling looking back on it looking back on it maybe i wish i did a little bit more but it is what it is playing the game hard the right way

sounds like a guy who runs the the home run run 16 seconds that's so bad that's so fast dude

that's so fast uh speaking of playing the game the hard way you have a rule named after you yeah Jace Etley rule.

Can't break up a double play.

I miss it.

I know it's player safety.

Do you think that like there was just something about it where it's like, you know, a guy's, he's he's going to be out at second, but he can really fuck this up by sliding in.

Right.

I miss that part of the game.

Do you think like there's part of you that like, man, that's- Well, I mean, I think it depends on how you grew up.

I grew up watching baseball in the...

when I remember, like mid 80s, late 80s, early 90s, and that's how guys went in hard all the time.

And shortstops and second basemans were aware of the guys that came in harder than others.

So yeah, I miss it because that's how I grew up watching it.

I understand the aspect of keeping guys safer.

It is definitely going to keep guys safer.

Same with the home plate rule now.

That's going to keep guys on the field a lot longer.

I mean, as a second baseman, I had my fair share of getting.

flipped and spiked and

smashed all the time.

And it was part of the game.

And you don't necessarily like it in the moment, but you understand that that it's part of it.

Yeah.

Yeah, like for you specifically, it's like if you do it at second base, you know they're going to have the opportunity to do it back to you.

Yes, of course.

You're going to deal with the receiving energy.

No, and I remember as I started to do a little bit more due diligence, as I got a little bit older on who we're playing,

how I want to position myself, understanding the runners that come in hard.

Scott Rowland, a Hall of Famer, played for the Phillies and went to the Cardinals and Reds.

He came in hot every time.

And we knew it as infielders.

So we knew, like Jimmy and I would have a conversation, Scott Rowland's on first base,

ground ball, double play, get me the ball quick.

Give me the ball quick so I can get it and get out of the way.

Because

he was not scared and he was coming for you.

And I mean, you appreciate that as a baseball player.

But yeah, you needed to be aware of some guys coming in hot.

Yeah, for player safety, how bad was the vet?

Because we've heard about it.

Well, I mean, I played probably, I don't know, 30 or 40 games there at most, and it was my rookie season.

So I was so much better than AAA stadium, right?

So I wasn't, to me, it wasn't bad in the moment.

I mean, looking back, yeah, it was old.

It was run down.

They didn't put much money into it, knowing that they're going to have a brand new stadium.

But I was happy to be there.

So taking ground balls in a major league field, regardless of what field I was happy with.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

I got a really dumb question for you.

You had a 35-game hit streak.

Was there any point during the hit streak where you were like, yeah, I'm just going to get hit every day for the rest of my life?

Because I would definitely think that.

Like, I'm the type of guy who, like, if I hit like three free throws, I'm like, maybe I missed my last free throw.

Yeah, I mean, there is a, I mean, I think in any athlete's career, they go through moments where they just feel invincible, right?

And in those, those short streaks, yeah, you feel like you can do whatever you want.

That's not a short streak, by the way.

35 games is not a short streak.

Right, right, right.

But during that, it's not like those 35 games, I didn't feel great every game, right?

There's,

bits and pieces of that where I didn't feel very good, and I was able to leg out a hit or hit a swinging bunt or bloop one over someone's head.

But yeah, there are certain moments in there that, yeah, you can feel, you feel like you're going to get a hit no matter what.

Yeah.

And then vice versa, there's some times out there, you could probably talk to a lot of guys that think there's no way I'm ever going to get a hit again.

Right.

Those are

tough pills to swallow, but you just...

you kind of go with, stick with the program, what got you there.

So it feels like there was maybe one or two days where you're like, yeah, I think I've solved baseball.

Yeah, maybe

seven or eight of those days.

It is a good feeling.

Unfortunately, it just doesn't last.

It doesn't last long enough.

But any hitter at the major leagues

that has had some success will tell you, yeah, there are times where you feel like the ball looks like a beach ball and you're going to hit it

no matter where it's going to fall.

During that streak, are you superstitious?

Were you doing anything that was the same?

I am superstitious.

I don't remember exactly what I was doing, but for 100%, I was doing the same shit every single day.

I mean, I would put my, I mean, stupid corny stuff.

I put my left sock on before I put my right sock on.

That was like a constant throughout my career.

That's not corny.

You're the guy with 35-game history.

That's not corny.

I'm sorry.

I've never done that.

Maybe I could be really good at basically.

I would eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich before the game.

Okay.

And I started that in the minor leagues because as you can imagine, the minor league spread isn't quite like the big league spread.

So sometimes the only thing available is making yourself a PBNJ.

j um so i stuck with that even in the big leagues even though there was plenty of great food so you ate that every game pretty much pretty much every game we need to have that on a graphic just being like chase out the you know however i'm not sure i'm proud of that how many games did you play

you got the phone right there yeah i know i got to find it so did you tell the kids in england hey you put your left sock on before your right no no there was other things i needed to get through doing before that i mean that's that's step one though that's getting dressed yeah step one is like where you know what hand to put your glove on i think that's that's

that was definitely a conversation we had.

You know, we had an end-of-the-season tournament this year.

We went to Frankfurt.

So we traveled to Frankfurt.

There were a handful of other teams from throughout Europe that were there.

And I mean, this is a big end-of-year tournament.

Everyone's excited for it.

And one kid comes up on the day of the game.

He's like, oh, coach, I forgot my glove.

Like, well, how do you forget your glove in the biggest tournament of the year?

He's like, I don't know.

I just forgot it.

I'm like, well, you can, can you borrow someone else's?

He's like, well, I'm left-handed.

Well, okay, well, so I guess you're probably not going to play this week, but go ahead and have fun.

Yeah.

What are you going to do?

Go to a baseball store?

And then you got to pinch it.

He got to hit, but yeah, no, no defense.

So yeah, to answer your question, no, I did not talk about superstitions to them.

It was more just easy fundamentals.

Yeah.

All right.

So Chase Hutley ate 1,937 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

That's pretty crazy.

It might be a record.

Probably more, actually.

Yeah, probably.

Do you think double double a couple times?

Does that include this season?

I think it does.

Okay.

Did you ever change it up?

What jelly?

Whatever was available.

So you're not going to be able to do it.

I was not particular.

I prefer the creamy peanut butter over the

chunky one, but if that's all they had,

white or wheat.

Again, whatever they had.

I would go probably white because I was in majority of clubhouses.

We not

so much.

This is the portion of the podcast, like when you see

fake influencers, or what's your why?

How did you get so successful?

We're just going to just really drill down on what's in this peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

What made you great?

You got some protein, you got some carbohydrates, you got some sugar in there to get you ready for the game.

I'm not sure.

I'm an unknown nutritionist, but it's not terrible.

Well, which hand would you use for the knife?

Because you use different hands to bat and throw.

Yeah.

Good question.

Good question.

And I didn't.

I would typically wash my hands out.

There are times I've gone out in the field with like jelly on my

bag.

Like if I handed you two pieces of bread right now,

which I would go left.

You would go left hand on the knife or left hand on the bread?

No, I would go left hand

bread, right-hand knife.

And I would start with the left.

Would you cut it after or you just eat it whole?

Like, would you cut it in half?

Do that.

Great question.

You know, the fancy thing?

I would usually cut it in half.

You could.

Triangles or rectangles?

You go across the diagonal?

No, no, I would go rectangles.

Okay.

Rectangles.

No, no triangles.

Ever toast the bread?

No, never.

okay always eat the crust always always eat the crust okay always any milk with it no milk water water you're not a dairy guy right what's that you're not a big dairy guy right during a certain portion of my career no i was a dairy-free why why um

i was having knee issues and i was it was they were killing me and it was i needed to make some adjustments so i checked a bunch of different boxes on trying to like get this inflammation and this pain out of my knees and that was one of the boxes I checked.

And I told myself, I'm going to do it for a month not that I may want to do it but I but I feel like this could be beneficial I did it for a month and probably about three weeks into it honestly I felt so much better really my body yes I mean I was doing some other things as well but my body just felt fresher this was during the middle of the season so you're playing every single night you wake up in the morning something hurts your ankles hurt your knees hurt your backs hurts I remember a particular morning waking up and getting out of bed and walking and I didn't I had zero pain and for the light bulb went off.

And I, I attributed it to the lack of dairy at the time.

So I stuck with it for a while.

Yeah.

I'm back on it.

Okay, good.

Because I was going to say, this is a problem because I just purchased a soft serve ice cream, industrial soft serve ice cream machine for our office.

And now this is like.

Yes, I missed it tremendously.

Yeah.

But you also felt awesome.

And I feel like shit.

Yeah.

And I, the only thing I do to fix feeling like shit is eating more ice cream.

Yeah, that's probably not a great shit.

No, that works.

It makes me happy.

It makes you happy.

Momentary happiness.

So, what about pizza?

Yeah, now, then, no.

I was the guy that ordered pizza with no cheese.

No cheese on pizza?

No cheese on pizza.

I feel like a guy who runs a base of 16.

That's what this sounds like.

Was that good?

Did you convince yourself?

It was good enough.

Yeah.

It's better than nothing.

But it's funny because who do we, oh, it was Joe Kim No, who NBA player,

he said that what people don't realize, fans don't realize is like being great is really boring because like it's just you have to have a routine.

Did you feel that way where it's like people think it's a glamorous life, but it's like, no, I have to not eat dairy and do the things that you're doing.

It was a great, it was a great lifestyle, right?

You get to play a sport that you grew up playing as a kid.

You get to travel.

You get some money in the bank.

You're part of a team.

But yeah, there's definitely some plenty of sacrifices that guys have to make from a hanging out with your buddies, going to parties, missing weddings, missing birthdays, missing kids being born.

That happens all the time.

But it's part of the program.

You have to be, unfortunately, you have to be a little selfish,

in my opinion, to have like, to be really successful at a sport.

Yeah.

Really anything, to be honest with you.

Yeah.

Our producer, Max, is a giant Phillies fan.

Love it.

Yeah, we introduced you a little bit before you jumped on.

I know he's got a couple questions for you.

So Max, bring it up.

Let him have it.

Don't step on anything.

You don't have any valuables on the floor, do you?

Because

Max will destroy it.

He can't get the...

What's going on with the mic?

Struggling with the mic.

Struggling with the mic.

I'm back.

I'm back, though.

Fix the mic.

First question.

This was a very big moment in my life as a child.

The 08 parade.

Yeah.

World fucking champions.

That was back at a time where cursing on TV wasn't necessarily

as.

Accepted as it is now.

Was that something that you went into that day thinking you were going to do?

Or was that just feeling the moment?

Yeah, Yeah, feeling the moment.

I mean, it started early, right?

And you can imagine the few days leading up to that of just celebrating a World Series victory.

So yeah, so it started early.

We're on these floats.

We're traveling around downtown Philadelphia and there's literally millions of people.

Were you?

I was there.

Yeah.

So millions of people just out there supporting us.

Beers are flowing.

Everyone's having a great time.

Then we get to the ballpark and we all get on stage.

We had no idea that we were going to, someone was going to put a microphone in front of us.

And sure enough they did and you know i was energized along with everyone else and i kind of came out what i was feeling um i got some grief for it but mainly a lot of high fives yeah i i think that definitely definitely more celebrate celebrating you taught back to the f-word no no i mean that was all that was all that was way too much yeah well i remember no i remember i mean one of the things i was at the time i was sponsored um by us potato chips oh yeah which kind of was fitting yeah but after the F-bomb, no longer.

They dropped you?

No.

Maybe it was just...

Maybe it was just cool.

You're a potato chip.

That's insane.

Yeah, I know.

And I like those chips.

They're good chips.

Good press.

Fuck them.

Yeah, but fuck them.

Yeah, fuck them.

Fuck him.

They're on site for us.

Yeah, I'm a first guy anyway.

Let's just be honest, though.

If they're around, I'm going to eat them.

Yeah, they're good.

No hard feelings.

That protest lasted about three seconds for me.

Also, yeah, if they backed the truck up.

Yeah.

Okay, we're cool us.

We have cheese balls, too.

So the crab chip?

I can't be honest.

The crab chip.

The crab chip is so good doing a boycott on nuts.

Oh, when I see the crab chip on the shelf, I'm going for that.

Yeah.

Straight ahead.

All right, another question?

I have a couple.

I mean, go.

You're going to cut me off as a Max, bring it to it.

Yeah, yeah.

Second one.

I don't have a fact check on this, but I feel like you may be the only player in MLB history to have a portion of a field field named after you and an opposing field.

Utley's Corner at City Field is forever Utley's Corner.

Like, what was it about playing against the Mets that you just absolutely dominated them?

Great question.

Great question.

Yeah, great question.

I mean, I think anytime you're playing against your rival, right, it

can elevate your game.

I think it can be intimidating, but for me, it was,

you know, I wanted to prove them wrong,

if you will.

So, yeah,

we had a lot of success

playing in New York.

Some, me personally, some our team.

And yeah, I hit a bunch of home runs kind of down that right field line.

And I mean, I haven't nicknamed that my corner, but I guess a bunch of other people.

Oh,

I was looking it up.

Apparently, like two years ago, and you obviously haven't been playing for a long time, there was a national broadcast that they still referred to it as Outlease Corner.

That's pretty sweet.

I do remember coming in.

I remember after the slide rule, I remember coming in the following year, playing in New York, and I was playing second base.

Inning is over.

I'm running off the field, and I'm about to go down into the dugout, and there's a father's son right on the

first row, right above the dugout.

And I kind of just look up, and the son, who's maybe 10,

11 years old, he looks at me with this fire in his eye.

He's like, Chase, I hope you fucking die.

Like as loud as he could possibly do it.

And I was like, oh my God.

And I look at the dad like, dad.

And dad goes, yeah, motherfucker.

And that's when I was like, oh, this is great.

Yeah.

And that boy grew

meek Phil.

Yeah, yeah.

You gotta love it.

Yeah, memes.

All right, keep going.

This one's a little sillier.

The

always sunny episode.

Yeah.

How many real adult men sent you that exact letter after that episode came out?

Quite a few.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Quite a few.

I mean, there was a certain point where the

fan letters got overwhelming.

So there's a woman for the Phillies that was nice enough to kind of open them for me and kind of sort it out to make it a little bit more easier.

And yeah, there were hundreds of those letters.

How was working on that?

It was great.

And it's the first time I've ever been in.

front of a

TV camera.

I did it with Ryan Howard, which helped.

But getting there, we were a little nervous, right?

But getting there, I mean, the guys were great.

Charlie and Rob, they were awesome, made us feel comfortable.

And I realized they're just doing whatever they want, right?

Yeah.

Doing different iterations of different takes.

You didn't have to be perfect, and they can cut it and splice it the way they want.

So I think having those guys around and kind of giving us an example of what it was like made it so much easier.

Yeah.

Have you had a catch with Rob Mack since then?

We've had a catch.

We've had a catch.

He'll be out here this this week.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're going to have him on.

Yeah.

Great.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Memes, do you have a question for Chase Hutley?

Because you do not like him.

Mine is in regards to the slot.

Yeah.

I'll keep it civil.

Why'd you do it?

Do you have any regret about it?

And have you ever apologized to Rubitata?

Your first question is, why did I do it?

Why'd you do it?

Why did I do what?

It was such a blind side.

Can you blind?

As a veteran, you knew you were just going in to fuck him up.

That's absolutely incorrect.

Keep it civil.

Keeping it civil.

Yeah, yeah.

Listen, I get it.

I understand your frustration as a Mets fan, and I get it.

But there was zero intention to fuck anybody up on that play.

As I mentioned before, like I grew up watching 80s, 90s baseball hard-nosed slides.

And at that point, I don't know how many years I had in the big leagues, but you know, 10, 12, 13 years at that point.

And I've always gone in hard.

And

that was no different.

Obviously, the outcome was different than other slides that I've had.

I didn't anticipate actually hitting him nearly as hard as I did.

I was actually anticipating him jumping up in the air because the way it all kind of unfolded, and as you can imagine, it's happening pretty quick.

So as he took the feed, I'm thinking, okay, he's he's going to hit the bag, get up off his feet in the air and try to throw it.

So me, I'm trying to slide a little bit with my body higher so I can clip a leg and get his throw get his throw off.

But instead he spun, which I was definitely not anticipating.

And yeah, looking back on it,

I didn't feel good about it.

I actually fucked, I felt terrible about it.

I had no intention of hurting him whatsoever.

And I attempted to apologize to him.

He wanted no part of it, which again,

I understand.

So, yeah, if I could go back in time and knowing the outcome that happened, of course, I would have done it differently because I would have realized he's not going to jump, he's going to spin.

And

I could have disrupted his throw

differently.

I hope that answers.

How do you feel?

How do you feel?

That was very good.

Yeah, yeah.

Are we healed?

Do you want to do a non-civil question?

No, you're responsible for one of the greatest clips in MLB history.

Game after the slide, the year after,

when Noah Syndergaard threw and got kicked out, ass in the jackpot.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah, this is a great clip.

Yeah, the ass in the jackpot.

Tom Hallion.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes.

I mean, listen,

I mean, as especially kind of playing in the early 2000s

and the players kind of at the time, we were able to kind of

police what was going on.

You hit our guy, we're going to hit your guy, and it is what it is.

I mean now

I mean Major League Baseball, which is rightfully so, steps in a little bit more to keep those confrontations from happening.

And in that moment, I mean, I'm expecting me to get beat, right?

If they would have hurt one of our players, regardless on purpose or not, we're going to hit their guy just because that's how it used to happen.

So I was fully anticipating it to happen.

I was surprised that he was thrown out.

It was just too, at the time, it was too blatant.

And the umpires probably were on warning anyway, so they didn't have much of a choice.

But yeah, here in

yeah.

As in the jackpot.

That's a great, great phrase.

It was a good one.

It's a great clip.

I agree.

Is there one pitcher that you hated facing and one that you were like, I can't wait to face him?

I mean, there's a few guys

that I enjoyed facing only because I had some success off them.

Some guys you just see better than others.

There's a guy here at the tournament, Derek Lowe, who had

really successful career.

And for whatever reason, I saw the ball well off him.

So I had some success off him.

There were other guys, not so much.

I mean, speaking of Rollus Chapman.

Lucky I didn't have to face him very often,

but he was tough.

Don Trell Willis.

Remember Dontrell Willis?

Yeah, Dontre.

Yeah.

He was funky for me.

I just could not pick up the ball.

He's big, herky-jerky.

motion he had like a knee brace on which for some reason i couldn't not look at um yeah he he was tough.

Good guy, but he was tough.

Yeah.

What about ballparks in general?

Was there a ballpark that was harder for you to see the ball in?

I don't know about see the ball, but some ballparks are a little bit more uncomfortable than others, at least for me.

Like,

I mean, obviously, I enjoyed playing in Cincinnati Bank Park.

I enjoyed playing in Dodger Stadium.

Going to New York, you can see the ball really well, and the fans are into it, so it kind of livens the atmosphere.

Playing in Wrigley Field is awesome.

Regardless of the crazy day games and the shadows that you deal with as a hitter, like it's still so much fun to play there.

Going to San Francisco

can be challenging because you're traveling around

the country during this summertime and everywhere you're going, it's 75 to 95 degrees.

And you roll into San Francisco and it's 55 and you're wearing sleeves and it's freezing and the ball, the wind's doing

weird things.

So that

I didn't really enjoy playing in San Francisco because it was so much different than everywhere else.

Yeah.

Beautiful park, but

tough to hit in.

It can be tough to hit in.

All right, I got one last question.

It's a roback question.

R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com.

Promo code take.

20% off your first purchase.

Q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts.

You like this?

Roback.com, promo code take.

Got it down.

I love that.

Yeah.

Do you have that take you to memorize?

Oh, we've been doing it for a long time.

Okay.

Long time.

Do it in my sleep.

It's like double play with Jimmy Rollins.

Do you have your gold card on you?

I don't know.

I really want to just see one.

It's not as nice.

I just asked every baseball player.

I'm convinced that it's not real, but everybody says they agree to say that it's real.

I do.

Yes.

You do have it?

Yes.

Never used it.

You

want me to

walk?

That is really cold.

Oh my God.

Look how cool that is.

It says, the commissioner of baseball, in appreciation of long,

this is long and

meritorious service, present this lifetime pass, Chase Utley and guest.

That's awesome.

You've never used it?

What am I going to do?

Am I going to walk up to the guy that's just hired for that day and say, hey, here you go?

Yes.

I mean, look at me like, what the hell is this?

This thing is solid.

How many guys do you think don't like have never used it?

I would bet 95% of guys.

That's crazy to me.

Did you ask Shane?

Yeah, he said he never used it.

Can I have a bunch of people?

Have you asked anybody that says they have used it?

I don't know.

I think most guys that get this card have somebody they can call.

They really want to go to Aaron.

Yeah.

I think maybe dan heron our friend dan heron has used it like once or twice they'll be like dan was tough

dan was tough funky split finger he was yeah we're trying to make a case for dan for the hall of fame we've been working on this case for a long time you you i love a hall of famer or you think it's gonna happen wait max oh yeah oh yeah is a hall of famer

love you max

i mean that do you like think about it when the every year when it comes around i do now yeah something i had never thought about before but now once your name's part of the conversation, yeah, it makes you think about it.

Who do we have to disparage for you?

We're down to do that.

Is there a specific person you want us to just sully their name?

No.

Okay.

No.

I mean, that's the beautiful thing about

voting, right?

Everyone's got their own personal opinion and viewpoint of it.

And some are here and some are here,

which creates some pretty cool debates.

Here's a little tip.

The Baseball Writers Association, maybe SKU's a little older, a a little more like,

hey, we're, you know, respect the game.

I think you got to start using your gold card or maybe give it to a couple guys that would use it.

It's a great idea.

Yeah.

Two guys that would use it.

That's true.

Compile like a mailing list.

Yeah, you love the game.

If there's two guys that love going to baseball games, just like obsessed with, you know, having fun, going to a day game, drinking some beers, doing the 50-50 raffle.

If you know two guys like that, I think you gave them your card.

You'd have a pretty good chance.

I feel like it's a good idea.

Do you guys go to many Cubs games?

Yeah, I have season tickets.

Wrigley's pretty incredible.

Don't go to a lot of White Sox games.

Okay.

But yeah,

White Sox Stadium has better food than Wrigley.

Do they?

It's a fact.

Really good food.

Yeah.

Really good food.

That's what they spend their money on.

Have you talked to Ricketts yet about it?

He's got to sign Kyle Tucker.

That's what we got to worry about.

We don't care about

he can feed me cardboard if he signs Kyle Tucker.

I don't care.

I don't care.

Yeah.

He's very, very good.

Is there a specific guy?

Last last question that you love watching?

Like a a guy that you're like, that guy?

I mean, Kyle Tucker's a great hitter.

Yeah, good hitter.

It's fun to watch Aaron Judge because you never know.

He can hit it to the moon anywhere on the field.

I mean, I follow mostly the Phillies and Dodgers, the two teams I played for.

Schwarber's fun to watch.

Oh, yeah, Schwarber mashes the best.

The best.

Shoe Otani just flicks stuff over the fence and makes it look too easy.

Freddie Freeman's the ultimate professional hitter.

Like, there's not, I don't think there's a more professional hitter than Freddie Freeman currently.

What does that mean?

Just he doesn't get off his game plan.

His game plan is to shoot a ball to left center, and if it's in, he'll pull it, but his whole focus is to hit it to left center, and it's pretty impressive.

He doesn't get off it ever, which is hard to do.

You tell yourself as a hitter, like, all right, this is my game plan for the day.

But there are times, certain times, where like you'll get out of that, and I don't think he ever gets out of that.

Yeah, so your game plan for the day was it would vary depending on who you're hitting against?

Yeah, yeah.

Because I think a lot of times nowadays, especially the game plan is hit a home run or strikeout, right?

I don't know if it's that, but listen, I think pitching today is harder to hit than it was 10 years ago.

I think guys are just more velocity,

more tougher spin.

It's just...

I think it's just a fact.

I think hitters are now starting to catch up to it because now they've seen it for a number of years.

But I think it's hit it's challenging to hit.

So it's hard to put a game plan together.

Their control isn't quite, I don't think, the same as it used to be, but they're also throwing a lot harder.

So I think that can make up for it.

But it's still fun to watch.

There's some talent, super talented players at the big league level.

But Joey Otani is fun to watch, as is Freddie Freeman.

And Kyle Tucker.

And Kyle Tucker.

And my boy, Justin Turner.

Yeah, Justin Turner.

Yeah.

Right?

Has he been on the show?

Yeah, he is not.

We need to get him on.

The fake nuts thing was pretty funny.

Did you see that?

I did see that.

Yeah, that was pretty funny.

Were they fake?

For a second, I was like, are those real?

And then I was like, those are really skinny nuts.

That would not be great.

They weren't truck nuts.

They were too small to be trucked.

They might have been like bicycle nuts that you can put on the back of like your

coffee.

I suggest you guys, there's

the par three, the 12th hole par three where the boat, the million dollar boat.

Yeah.

I don't know if it's million dollars or the boat, whatever it is.

You guys set up shop there.

Yeah.

Guys cruise in and do like a three-minute interview because it usually backs up.

Yeah.

I would like that.

Okay.

It's a good idea.

Great idea.

Yeah.

Although we're not good at three-minute interviews.

Maybe we'll just have memes yell at it for three minutes.

Similar to like going into a game with a game plan, we go into the game plan and then, hey, let's talk about how Chase Hutley made his peanut butter and jelly for 10 minutes.

Actually, I'm still interested.

Yeah, I have a few more questions.

The small details is that's really what separates the great from the good.

Yeah.

Right?

That's why you should be in the Hall of Fame.

Nobody else had that type of discipline to feed themselves the same meal every day.

Plastic knife?

Whatever, butter knife.

Okay.

But you would, would you, would you prefer a real knife?

No, no, no, no butter knife.

Perfectly fine.

Sitting down or standing up?

Depending on, ooh, good question.

Both.

Both.

You would mix that up.

There are times where I was kind of on the move, so I didn't sit down.

Plate or paper towel?

Again.

Both?

Both.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Would you ever make one for someone else?

No, I've suggested it for others, but no.

And they would never take you up?

No.

Yeah, yeah.

There was a fad for a point in time where

we were ripping through peanut butter butter and jelly like when you guys were winning the world series everyone was eating peanut butter and jelly much yeah was there any did you play with anyone who ever had a peanut butter allergy not that i'm aware of okay no that would be bad yeah that would have been would it have would you have stopped

it depends how severe okay that's a good answer and how good they were True.

Like if they're end-of-the-bench guy, it's like, come on, man, you can get your Epi Pen.

Chase has to have his peanut butter and jelly.

Did you ever have a one during a game?

Yes.

Oh.

Plenty.

So you would just like sneak off.

I mean, listen, you're going to St.

Louis in the middle of summer and it's 97 degrees with 98% humidity and you can't, you're dying.

So you're just sweating, you're dying, and you need some energy.

And that was my go-to to get some type of energy.

So yeah, I would have them during the middle of the game.

Would you post-game it?

No.

Never.

Would you put the, you always want to do that.

Well, and then you're done.

You're done with the thing and you're just throwing it in the tray.

But what if you think you got enough jelly and then you go on the peanut butter side, then you dip back in, now you got peanut butter in the jelly?

Fair.

No,

that happened.

I can tell that happened.

That has happened.

Yeah, that's corporate on that.

You're savage.

All right, Chase Hutley.

Thank you, man.

No, guys, my pleasure.

Thanks for having me on.

Appreciate it.

The man.

That was fun.

Chase Hutley was brought to you by Nobody 2.

A couple years ago, you remember Bob Odenkirk?

He showed up out of nowhere as an action star, Nobody.

Great film.

That movie was a ton of fun.

Now he's back in the sequel, Nobody 2, hitting theaters on August 15th.

Bob returns as Hutch.

This time, he tries to go on vacation with his family, only for all hell to break loose.

It's a real delight to see a guy like Odenkirk kick some serious ass.

Nobody 2 is produced by 87 North.

That's the same team behind hits like John Wick, Bullet Train, The Fall Guy.

The film also stars Connie Connie Nielsen, Rizza, and legendary Christopher Lloyd and Sharon Stone.

Nobody 2 is a perfect summer movie.

You don't want to miss this one.

Nobody 2 is only in theaters, August 15th.

Go see Universal Pictures, Nobody 2, only in Theaters, August 19th.

Bob Odenkirk, one of the best actors in the world.

I'll watch anything he's in.

Go see Universal Pictures, Nobody 2, only in Theaters, August 15th.

Okay, let's wrap up the show.

We've got

FAQs.

FAQs.

Let's do it.

FAQs.

Zach, I have an FAQ for you.

Yes, sir.

How'd the Sonic Boom Alarm Clock go?

Sonic Boom Alarm Clock has a couple more steps to setting up than I first thought.

A lot of buttons.

We don't have it all the way equipped yet.

What does that mean?

I had a little bit of a tough time figuring out how to set the time on it.

From the reviews that I heard, it's going to shake your apartment.

I read some things I'm worried about, like neighbor interference, like noise complaints to the leasing office.

But you got to get up.

You got to try it.

You got to get up.

Yeah.

You got to get up.

Got to get up to get down.

All right.

Hank.

FAQs.

Which moment from the show would you want to relive for the first time?

Ooh.

Ooh.

Moment from the show to relive.

I think.

Sopranos.

Yeah.

The Office.

I watched The Office Live starting with BBC.

Wait, no, from this show.

From this show.

I thought you were.

This is a show.

I would like to relive the Soprano spoiler.

Yeah, yeah, that too.

I thought it was a show.

Yeah.

Because do you ever think about that where it's like, I wish I could watch this show again for the first time?

Like when Janice shot, was it Ralphie?

No,

Richie Apriel in the kitchen.

Yeah.

Breaking Bad because I watched season five only.

What about this show?

Bill Walton.

Bill Walton.

I would like to meet Bill Walton again for the first time.

Piss dogs.

Max in his overalls.

I still, that's still like maybe once a month I'll think about that.

Yeah.

And him just screaming, I look with Daniels.

This could be such a bad night for me, and you guys just want it to be so much worse.

Please.

Like, I look at me right now.

Look at what I'm doing for you.

I look ridiculous.

he's right he's right daddy

i think you're doing it for us though yes i mean

it's not fucking working

everything you tell me to do doesn't work

for my fucking ass

those are two different things

max's reveal the soul patch oh the soul patch reveal i saw the soul patch reveal it was somebody posted a clip of it the other day and i laughed out loud for like 10 seconds.

Yeah.

It's so good.

Pissed Dog's a good one, too.

That one back.

That's a good question, though.

It wasn't, it was a little more heated,

contentious at the time, but

I won't even say it.

No, I won't say it.

I won't say it.

Say it, Hank.

No, it's all right.

You got to say it.

You got to say it.

Billy, the podcast when Billy, after Billy was falling asleep, was, or when he was falling asleep, was like.

it was very funny.

That was a funny moment.

It was very heated.

When he fell asleep on the

podcast after watching, no, watching him fall asleep always.

Yes.

That was entertaining clients.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Was so bad.

It was so funny.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Also, when he stepped to PFT.

That was funny.

Yeah.

Or the hot sauce.

Yeah.

I think that was the hot sauce.

The hot sauce was the best thing.

And

if I could relive and just, I wish maybe the

most heated argument that almost broke up the show that I thought was so funny the whole time.

And I was just like, kind of like, you guys were both like legit coming to me after, like, you know, trying to,

I don't even know, but the Mountain Dew debate.

Oh, Mountain Dew bottle.

Yeah.

You guys were both like,

I was like, I don't know.

PFT tried to gaslight.

I know what fuck it was.

I was like, I don't know.

Who's that?

PFT is like, big cats.

Who's sitting behind you?

Many fine people on both sides of that debate.

Also, never know.

That's the bottom line.

It's the beauty of that argument: you can never know.

He's gaslighting me again.

The Joe Burrow interview.

Because I think we don't, I think it was so awesome, but we don't remember.

Like, that's just insane that we got to interview the national, the Heisman Trophy winner who just won a national championship like six hours prior, and we were fucking bombed for it.

I think along those same lines, the first time we heard Coach O's voice in the office at LSU.

Yeah.

Like, we heard him before we saw him, and it was just goosebumps, just hearing him walk down the hall.

Where are these boys at?

Yep.

Yep.

Chills.

Which NFL quarterback?

Also, Sopranos.

Yeah.

Yeah, fuck you.

Which NFL quarterback?

Whose head got run over by the SUV in the gas station?

Phil Leotardo.

Phil Leotardo, yeah, that's right.

Train guy?

No, that's Molly Buckley.

He got shot in the

toy train shop.

Which NFL QB would you take to partner with in a fight to the death tag team style?

Ooh.

Can't

do that.

Coach NFL quarterback.

Like, current?

Current.

shit.

I think debate on whether or not he's a quarterback might be Taysom Hill.

Oh, I thought you were going to say Jalen Hurts.

No.

No.

I certified too.

I was.

If you could see

my pre-face got angry.

Max.

You didn't get pre-mad.

Your pre-face.

My pre-face started to get angry.

I started talking my hands.

That's distinct.

Because Jalen Hurts has the right answer.

He's fucking

insanely strong.

I might take Baker.

baker seems like dog dog yeah baker is baker would be uh he would literally like he'd fight to the death i also like

i don't think we give enough credit to just how like massive of a human josh allen is yeah like strength and size so nice though i know but like imagine if he like he could just fucking maul someone

to a

no what that's like one one bad answer yeah i was just throwing names out there i'm trying to get a conversation started the absolute worst.

Dak's probably worse based on the track record.

No, to

bump his head.

We've got video evidence of Dak Prescott in a fight.

I mean, that's true.

Is also big.

Yeah, Lamar would be a good pick.

Lamar's.

But he's got hands.

Yeah.

Joe Flacco.

Old dad strength.

Yeah.

Oh,

Anthony Richardson.

Yeah.

That would be a good pick.

He's a massive human being.

Caleb?

Probably not.

Doesn't want to break a nail.

Spicy.

Good one.

I love when Hank gets like this.

It's great.

I fucking love it.

The whole day, he's just going to

give subtle jabs at everyone.

It would just be like, no, I'm not mad.

And then just fucking pepper him in for the next two days straight all because of a Mount Rushmore.

That was a good joke, though.

Hey, Zach and company, longtime listener, first time FAQ.

What's one moment in PMT history you thought you might actually get you canceled or kicked off air?

Well, when we did.

We did get canceled.

Yeah, we get kicked off air.

I don't think so.

I mean, we work at bar.

Like, there's never been concerns about

the Taylor Swift one, but that was never actually.

I never was like.

Like, it was a joke.

Dave was joking about it, but it was never anything more than a joke.

Yeah.

I don't think.

I thought Dave was going to fire me when I pushed Bosco at Campbell.

Oh, yeah.

Also, it was turned into a nothing.

It couldn't have been more of a nothing.

I was so nervous.

That was great because it gave Dave a great opportunity to show Bosco, like, hey, I'm on your side.

Like, bring him in for, like, a pat on the head.

Like, I got your back, Bosco.

No, I think the word for word was,

I would have been mad if you pushed someone, but it was Bosco, so I don't care.

Yeah, which is fair.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I don't think there's, I mean, besides the time we actually got canceled.

I don't think so.

Oh, yeah.

The thought really hasn't crossed my mind.

No.

Hey, Big Cat PFT, happy that your tongue survived another year of staying out of each other's butts.

Will we ever see any more specific PMT 24-hour streams?

How much work goes in to be able to pull that off for guys on camera, those behind the scenes?

One of my favorite memories was you guys playing N64 during the middle of the night, and would love to see more of the random content like that.

Love your show.

Thanks for the putting smiles on everyone's face.

That was in the place of Grit Week, I believe.

It was during COVID when we covered training camps.

That's correct.

So we did a Grit stream, which was a 24-hour one.

Occasionally, we pop up on Barcelona After Dark, take place and take part in their little locked in hell stream challenges.

The Yak's doing a 12-hour stream soon.

Another dig?

I'm trying to think,

yeah, Barcelona After Dark is probably where.

But you guys did one.

Yeah, me and Max.

Yeah, what did we do?

Yeah, me and May.

24 hours.

I think it would be like 22 or something.

Max hit Blake in the head with a hockey stick.

Yep, that was Max.

We could do one.

We could do a part of my Take Sleepover if we got correct sponsorships.

I would do it.

How long was the Darts?

Darts was.

That was a long one.

Wait.

How long was the stand-up?

Stand-up was an hour.

Oh, it felt like five days.

Crushed pay-per-views.

People love to stand-up.

Especially if you open it up.

Six months beforehand.

Real easy to follow a warmed-up crowd like that, Hank.

No one's ever been worse at stand-up than memes.

I learned it.

It was a one-man show.

It wasn't stand-up.

It was a one-man show.

That was it.

It was high art.

A textbook case of procrastination where memes are just like, I'll figure it out later.

I'll figure it out later.

Until it was the day of the show, and he had like two hours left.

He's like, I think I got to figure it out.

If you didn't like memes, stand-up, you just didn't understand it.

Yeah, he didn't understand it.

It was a one-man show.

The fundership was one-man show.

Hank.

And

And then it was just like, oh, comedy show.

You're opening.

Yeah.

Okay.

Is that it?

One more.

One more.

Ooh, I like this.

If you had to build an NFL team/slash skill position roster out of PMT guests, no professional athletes.

What?

Who would make that list?

Okay, I think somebody asked us this about the NBA as starting five at one point.

I think

maybe John Taffer at guard.

John Taffer.

Oh, no, he said skill position.

Oh, skill position.

We're still at tight end.

Who have we had that's fast?

That is fast.

Jerry O'Connell played quarterback in

Kush.

Yeah, we'll put JOC a quarterback.

This is tough.

Maybe Rebecca Romaine somewhere.

Yep.

Coach's bot.

Nope.

Nope.

Maybe tight end for her.

Stop.

Stop.

What?

Owen Wilson?

Whoa.

Oh, what just happened?

What just happened to you?

Mark Wahlberg at running back?

Yeah.

Wahlberg at running back.

That'd be good.

I don't know who the wide receivers would be.

We need wide receivers.

We need fast guys.

Pablo Torre.

Wait, wouldn't Wahlberg.

Randy Moss.

We have Randy Moss.

Oh, yeah.

Randy Moss at receiver.

I feel like Wahlberg at receiver, wasn't that his position invincible?

Yeah.

Yeah, he could be slot receiver.

Yeah.

Randy Moss on the outside.

Wendy.

Wendy is a fullback.

Love that.

Josh DeMel.

Josh Dumel.

He was a quarterback, right?

Yeah, he could be the quarterback.

He'll be starting quarterback, Jerry.

You can back him up.

He could be the backup for sure.

I'm trying to think who else we've had that's...

I mean, we could...

No professional athletes?

No professional athletes.

I mean, we could just do like

Kane and Undertaker.

it.

They're athletes.

They're professional athletes.

They're professional athletes.

Okay.

Sorry, sorry.

They're professional athletes.

My bad.

Jimmy Tatra?

Just Vibes guy.

He could be like a slot.

He's a slot receiver.

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

For sure.

For sure, for sure.

Stav.

Oh, Stavi at fullback would be good.

Somewhere.

Shane Gillis could be in there.

Fauci at running back.

I'm just naming all of the guys that don't play sports.

that we've had on.

Shane played sports.

No, I'm saying professional.

He's players.

Yeah, he was.

Oh, yeah.

No, i'm literally just going down the list of just non-professional athletes it's just more linemen though we keep we yeah yeah yeah not a lot of skill position skill position is tough i think jimmy could be a a good slot randy moss take the top off yeah yeah for sure

um

jimmy would have to be a receiver yeah

okay does joey chestnut count yeah yeah he's a professional athlete does he count as a yeah yeah he's no as a professional athlete yeah that was

a great athlete yeah he counts as a professional athlete yes got it Major League Eater.

Got it.

Yes.

Got it.

Come on, Hank.

Just double-checking.

Hank.

Matt Damon, Casey Athlet.

Adam Silver could probably snag some.

Yeah, he could maybe hear the plays from the sideline.

If we lose our headsets.

Yeah, I don't think the commissioners have any place in the starting lineup.

Yeah.

Florio?

Florio could just be.

He could just sue the other team to to death.

What about coaches that weren't professional athletes?

Missoula would be a stud.

Yeah, Missoula would be great.

Yeah, we'd suck.

Yeah.

Okay.

Good show, boys.

Numbers tried to show up.

Great show.

Well, you're running off to meetings.

You're busy people.
