Speaker 15 Today is Wednesday, July 16th.

Speaker 16 And Kyle Schwarber is the man.

Speaker 26 What a monster. Three swings, three dongs.
Three no-doubters. Three no-doubters.
What a way to finish the baseball game.

Speaker 10 He's the best.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so for people who didn't tune into the all-star game, we had the first ever swing-off in the All-Star game.

Speaker 7 It was tied after nine innings.

Speaker 16 They fixed it after the disaster that happened, what was it, 20 years ago?

Speaker 26 Bud Selig stands up, calls the game off. Game off.
Disgrace to the United States of America.

Speaker 12 It really was.

Speaker 16 But this time they had a solution.

Speaker 7 The swing-off, each manager got to pick three guys, and each guy had three swings.

Speaker 7 And most home runs win, and it was

Speaker 39 Kyle Schwerber.

Speaker 7 It was Kyle Schwerber's show because he hit three home runs and three swings. Absolute monsters.

Speaker 40 He's the best.

Speaker 39 I fucking love him forever.

Speaker 2 He's the best.

Speaker 14 The only, and of course,

Speaker 3 in true baseball fashion,

Speaker 37 we have a very cool thing, a very cool moment.

Speaker 12 And obviously, everyone's just talking about where was Otani, where is Aaron Judge?

Speaker 14 Well, guess what?

Speaker 13 They were probably on a plane because Jesse Rogers reported that

Speaker 13 for everyone saying, hey, why aren't like the best home run hitters, Kyle Schwerber is one of the best home run hitters competing in this,

Speaker 42 they literally left.

Speaker 15 And now we have the debate of, is that leaving your team? Is that lame?

Speaker 17 I do not care.

Speaker 26 Yeah,

Speaker 26 bad leadership by Aaron Judge at the All-Star game. Yeah.
Nobody cares about that. But it did feel like the National League manager was trying to win harder than the American League manager was.
Yeah.

Speaker 42 Well,

Speaker 28 I don't think.

Speaker 37 They had anyone left.

Speaker 26 Pete Alonzo was, that was the closer pick. Yeah.
Pete Alonzo. That's a no-brainer.

Speaker 15 But he had played, so Pete Alonzo, I think, stayed because he was going to maybe win MVP.

Speaker 7 Kyle Schwerber was the first non-pitcher to win MVP without getting a hit in the game.

Speaker 2 But that's why I think Pete Alonso stayed.

Speaker 15 It was basically guys who were in the game late or were staying because they could potentially win MVP like Pete Alonso.

Speaker 26 I think Pete Alonzo stayed because he thought there might be a swing-off. And this is what he secretly trained his entire career without even preparing for it.

Speaker 26 He just knew that he was putting in all those hours just hitting dingers off a batting machine, pitching machine, off a coach pitch, whatever.

Speaker 26 The man has been, he's cared about the home run derby more than any other human being on planet Earth ever has cared about winning the home run derby. He had an opportunity.

Speaker 26 He was a closer, put him in third. He didn't even have to swing.
Didn't have to swing. He's pissed off about that.

Speaker 12 Yeah, but his three-run homer, like, up until the swing-off, he probably would have been the MVP.

Speaker 15 But it was great.

Speaker 44 I loved it.

Speaker 45 And for people, like, yes, obviously, would you have liked to see Otani and judge in it?

Speaker 46 Sure.

Speaker 22 But I also, like, if you're an all-star, you have a two-day break at most.

Speaker 29 They're probably going to want to get out of town.

Speaker 26 Yeah, I can understand that. Also, Max, I would like for you to apologize for the Ranger Suarez takes.

Speaker 26 Why? Because he turned down the All-Star game.

Speaker 50 I don't know if that's true.

Speaker 51 Oh, okay.

Speaker 23 Can we fact-check that? Did I.

Speaker 50 I'm not going to believe.

Speaker 23 We're not going to look at it.

Speaker 50 Why did every player on the Phillies get so upset about it if he turned it down?

Speaker 26 Just talk about Ranger Suarez here.

Speaker 53 Can you answer me that?

Speaker 43 Are you counting yourself as one of the players?

Speaker 23 No. Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 47 He said he'd like to take a break.

Speaker 26 I don't blame him for that.

Speaker 16 The Phillies are pissed.

Speaker 15 When was he asked?

Speaker 55 Was it...

Speaker 56 What point was he at? It was a while ago. That's a good question.

Speaker 26 It was a while ago.

Speaker 50 I'm trying to help you here, Max. I'm also.

Speaker 26 Try to just Google, did Ranger Suarez turn down all the time?

Speaker 50 Like, why wouldn't this be one of the first things that people are talking about? They're still talking about that.

Speaker 26 On X the Everything app with the website with a great search function. Yeah.

Speaker 14 Robert Suarez pitched in the game.

Speaker 57 There you go.

Speaker 12 So you got an R. Suarez.

Speaker 26 Now, I got to say,

Speaker 26 I like the swing-off. Yeah.
Swing-off to end the game is great.

Speaker 26 I want everything decided by swing-offs now. Regular season baseball games, swing-off.

Speaker 26 Ild custody hearings, swing-off. Swing-off.

Speaker 3 I obviously understand people complaining.

Speaker 17 It would have been cool if Otani was in it.

Speaker 13 It would have been cool if Judge was in it.

Speaker 26 Yeah, but I mean, let's not let that get away.

Speaker 10 And it's also, you know, it's a simple fix:

Speaker 13 you just have to declare who your swing-off is before the game starts.

Speaker 26 So then you have to stick around.

Speaker 34 Those guys can't leave. Yeah.

Speaker 15 Like, that's just something they didn't think about.

Speaker 35 And then it happened.

Speaker 16 What is that article? And now, hopefully, they'll fix it.

Speaker 26 Ranger Suarez said he declined participation in all star games.

Speaker 19 Oh, that's interesting.

Speaker 56 What does that say?

Speaker 50 I don't understand why all the players were so mad. I won't get mad because I was going off of the players being mad.

Speaker 53 You had to

Speaker 50 If his own teammates are going to freak out about it,

Speaker 50 why shouldn't I?

Speaker 51 Okay.

Speaker 35 So

Speaker 3 you're mad because...

Speaker 14 I'm not mad.

Speaker 2 You were mad because other guys were mad at me.

Speaker 23 I had guys are mad.

Speaker 51 You're just being a good teammate.

Speaker 50 At what point would I have thought that that was true if all of his teammates went to his defense saying it was bullshit that he didn't get put in the all-star game?

Speaker 62 Right.

Speaker 14 So again, you're just being a good teammate.

Speaker 15 Your teammates are mad, so you're going to be mad as with them.

Speaker 23 Correct. Yeah.

Speaker 63 But Kyle Schwarber.

Speaker 64 Awesome. He's the fucking best.

Speaker 24 Awesome.

Speaker 26 He is the best. Also, shout out Ludacris.
Ludacris doing Welcome to Atlanta to start the All-Star game. Yep.
Just put Ludacris on TV. I will watch it.

Speaker 26 I watched the performance twice after I got back to the office. We did our own home run derby tonight.
How are the boys feeling?

Speaker 43 Bad. Really bad.

Speaker 14 Yeah, you're going to hear us in a few minutes where we taped in the beginning of the day and we did our predictions.

Speaker 7 And I think the the only thing we said, Hank, was don't get injured.

Speaker 43 And we both got injured. Yeah, I said I did this.
So I tore my bicep blaster doing this. I'm trying not to do that again.
I'm pretty sure I did. And I wanted to go 10 for 10.
I did not go 10 for 10.

Speaker 43 Not to spoil the future episode, but.

Speaker 26 I was worried that you were going to ruin your swing, your golf swing.

Speaker 31 That

Speaker 43 was not out of the question. Yeah, the bicep.

Speaker 37 Max, how do you feel?

Speaker 50 I'm okay. My hands hurt a little bit.
My wrists hurts a little bit. And you're a beast.
My back hurts a little bit, but

Speaker 50 I'm I'm not feeling great, but there's no injuries.

Speaker 7 Yeah. What about you, memes?

Speaker 31 My hands are torn apart and my bicep.

Speaker 14 I jammed my thumb on like this.

Speaker 15 Oh, yeah, memes loves that tape. He was given the whole dugout that tape.

Speaker 26 Can you see your tape?

Speaker 15 And we do not know how to use it.

Speaker 17 We were using it all incorrectly.

Speaker 43 It's an extra muscle.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 43 Someone said that to me.

Speaker 50 Yeah, T-Mobile said it was, it's just, it just replaces a muscle, which makes no sense.

Speaker 5 I had my thumb taped up, like, fully wrapped for a while.

Speaker 15 Then I was like, this is ridiculous.

Speaker 71 I'm probably hurting hurting myself more.

Speaker 2 Zach, you took some cuts.

Speaker 5 You looked good.

Speaker 72 I didn't get any over the wall. I did make contact.
Thank you guys for letting me swing. That was awesome.

Speaker 17 Yeah, that was fun.

Speaker 15 And also, Zach, there was a moment, I'm pretty sure you were playing right field.

Speaker 73 You didn't move for like three hours.

Speaker 72 There was, the visibility got a little dicey,

Speaker 72 and

Speaker 72 I was kind of stuck. Like, I'd run straight to the balls when they hit the ground, but I was terrified of catching one to the face because I could not see them.

Speaker 26 There were a couple of them where you stood still and then someone else came over and I was saying, call them off, Zach. That's your ball.

Speaker 72 They tracked it way better than I did, for sure.

Speaker 72 If they're going to track it better, they got it.

Speaker 29 Speaking of home runs, our guy, Big Dumper, wins.

Speaker 74 Maybe a little bit of a...

Speaker 32 People were a little upset about the ruling against,

Speaker 56 was it Rooker who

Speaker 69 got screwed?

Speaker 37 Yeah.

Speaker 12 One inch, but I don't care because I love Big Dumper.

Speaker 26 Yeah, no, that's great.

Speaker 12 And it was great for him.

Speaker 75 But yeah, people were a little upset about that.

Speaker 15 The home run derby sucks anyway.

Speaker 26 We just, we forget every single year. We tune in every year to the home run derby, and then we're like, oh, yeah, you can't actually see the home runs land and the next swing happen at the same time.

Speaker 26 And I hate the time. I hate the time.
Let's go back to 10 outs. 10 outs.
Make it simple. It's so easy.

Speaker 26 We love dingers. We're going to watch.
That was.

Speaker 26 Don't have me trying to, like, I feel dizzy trying to follow the home run derby.

Speaker 15 It was such a it's not broken, don't fix it situation.

Speaker 40 10 outs.

Speaker 18 10 outs, just do it every time, and they just got cute with it and like the whole whole extra outs thing.

Speaker 68 Yeah.

Speaker 17 If you hit it, you know, far, you get another extra out.

Speaker 26 It's like if Jeff D. Lowe designed the home run derby.

Speaker 44 Yeah, pretty much. Yeah.

Speaker 77 We're going to go to a bonus bonus route. Yeah.

Speaker 37 But yeah, I am happy for Cal Raleigh.

Speaker 26 He's the man. Yeah, that was awesome.
Yeah. It was, it was cool to see him win.
Sorry for giving out James Wood to you guys. But Max, you know, he went first.

Speaker 26 Tough situation when he was going first is yeah, no, that was bullshit.

Speaker 71 Yeah. That was bullshit.

Speaker 50 I was backing him. I was telling everyone else that I was with to back him.

Speaker 49 Yep.

Speaker 50 But it's okay. 22.

Speaker 26 22 years old. He's 22 years old.

Speaker 18 22 years old. 22.

Speaker 16 Future face of this league.

Speaker 26 Right? Many are saying, yes.

Speaker 16 Scotty Barnes. Future face of this league.

Speaker 47 All right.

Speaker 12 Only other two. Well, I had three other stories I wanted to hit on real quick.

Speaker 19 Terry McLaurin.

Speaker 26 I don't think that's a national sports story.

Speaker 51 I think that's a national sports story.

Speaker 26 That's pretty regional. Sports podcast.
Is that an Eastern?

Speaker 61 All right, let me, you know what?

Speaker 79 I'll do.

Speaker 80 Well, I don't understand.

Speaker 60 Garrett Wilson.

Speaker 68 Congrats, memes. Garrett Wilson.

Speaker 37 Congrats, memes.

Speaker 82 This is a great step into being a good organization.

Speaker 81 We have Sauce and Garrett Wilson locked up till 2030.

Speaker 56 Love that.

Speaker 50 While you were saying there's a couple other stories that I want you to touch on, memes was just whispering to himself, Garrett Wilson.

Speaker 83 I was going to hit it. It was one of the three.

Speaker 82 It eliminates distractions. Now you don't have to be like, is he getting traded to the Steelers?

Speaker 81 Is he getting traded to the Broncos?

Speaker 67 I would hate for that to be my wide receiver.

Speaker 43 Yeah, maybe I guess it can be helpful to clear it up to me and our listeners because while we were doing the stream, this news was breaking and the chat, who was usually like on point with reporting real news.

Speaker 67 Yeah.

Speaker 43 I opened it up and it just said Terry McLaurin retired.

Speaker 26 No, that's not true. He didn't.

Speaker 84 Okay. All right.
That's good.

Speaker 43 But why would they be saying that?

Speaker 26 He might have retired because he was doing an automotive commercial at the time. Now, listen, the way things go in the NFL, you're going to have contract negotiations.

Speaker 26 You're going to have guys that hold in, guys that hold out.

Speaker 26 Typically, you don't have guys that go to do their standard Eastern Motors commercial and then use that as the platform to talk about the contract situation.

Speaker 26 But I feel like that's the last thing that Terry's got for him right now. He's like, I'm going to put some pressure on him.
I'm going to talk about it at the commercial shoot.

Speaker 26 And yeah, he sounded like a guy that was frustrated. Now, he did not say that he wanted to play anywhere else.
He said he wants to play in D.C.

Speaker 26 I think we're going to work it out, but I feel like this is hardball.

Speaker 26 I know that I think that we're going to work it out.

Speaker 43 We talked about this recently, right? Yeah.

Speaker 43 And you said it's not a problem. Guaranteed.

Speaker 26 I'm not worried.

Speaker 43 He'll be returning, right? Guaranteed.

Speaker 65 Guaranteed.

Speaker 43 So guaranteed to, I think,

Speaker 43 seems like a bit of a step down.

Speaker 37 Well, no, he just changes to, I know, I think.

Speaker 26 I know, I think. Peter King put that in his column for years.

Speaker 43 I know, I think.

Speaker 43 That sounds less guaranteed than guaranteed.

Speaker 11 That is less guaranteed than guaranteed.

Speaker 26 I think I know that I'm willing to guarantee guarantee this.

Speaker 50 I would like a percent.

Speaker 66 Zero to 100%.

Speaker 23 Guarantee is 100%.

Speaker 26 Zero is like. What's higher than 100%?

Speaker 26 110%. 110%.
It's 110% guarantee.

Speaker 85 That's a guarantee.

Speaker 26 I've also offered Terry McLaurin 50% of my golf winnings in perpetuity.

Speaker 86 What do we do then? So Hank owes him

Speaker 71 $40,000.

Speaker 50 If you're this confident, then you should put something up. And if he doesn't.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 26 Terry's coming. Terry's coming.

Speaker 53 100%?

Speaker 53 Yes, 110%.

Speaker 36 11%.

Speaker 26 Percent, 10%.

Speaker 26 Don't take 10% away.

Speaker 56 I do feel like this is going to get worse.

Speaker 26 Pretty my agent. But.

Speaker 50 120%.

Speaker 10 He also feels like he's not happy.

Speaker 26 He's not happy. And that's the concern because

Speaker 26 he has been the one guy. He's played on three different team names for the Washington football clubs.
He's always been there. He's been great, even with terrible quarterbacks.

Speaker 26 I feel like it's for him. For the first time in his career, he's got a great quarterback they can play with.
You don't want to walk away from that. Yeah.
So he wants to keep playing.

Speaker 26 He wants to get paid. This is probably his last big contract.

Speaker 7 I think the paid is the most important part, not the quarterback thing.

Speaker 26 He's 30 years old. He wants to be paid.
He wants to play here.

Speaker 26 Max, you know what? Fuck it. 125%.

Speaker 23 There we go. I just want to.

Speaker 86 125%. Wow.

Speaker 26 I put my credibility on the line.

Speaker 28 And what happens if

Speaker 26 I have many?

Speaker 7 Goes and plays somewhere else.

Speaker 26 That would be painful. That would be very painful.

Speaker 35 And, but what about your

Speaker 19 guarantee?

Speaker 78 125%.

Speaker 50 Your word would then mean nothing if that's.

Speaker 19 Oh, wow.

Speaker 13 He's taking away your word, PFT.

Speaker 88 125%.

Speaker 60 What else do we have, but our word on this show where we're always right?

Speaker 43 His word is his profession. PFT.

Speaker 85 My credibility.

Speaker 36 PFT.

Speaker 89 Which is also your job.

Speaker 37 We sidebar because it seems like they're ganging up on you.

Speaker 26 Because I'm about to say something fucking stupid.

Speaker 10 They're ganging up on you, PFT.

Speaker 14 Just remember.

Speaker 39 You'll get a cat.

Speaker 14 Remember, PFT.

Speaker 10 This podcast, we are always right.

Speaker 56 We're always right.

Speaker 37 We never get anything wrong.

Speaker 26 I never report anything anyway.

Speaker 32 We never get ahead of ourselves.

Speaker 26 no so for you to do this would be maybe the end of the podcast it is something that i feel so strongly about that i'm thinking about saying something stupid okay why don't you text it to me okay i'm gonna text it to you

Speaker 10 and i'll say it terry mclaurin by the way he uh so he is getting paid

Speaker 7 what is he getting paid his 15 million dollars this year with a $5 million signing bonus and then he's an unrestricted free agent next year.

Speaker 7 So he would like some money.

Speaker 19 He deserves some money.

Speaker 47 He's a really good football player.

Speaker 89 Why wouldn't they pay him?

Speaker 91 That's a good question, Hank.

Speaker 26 So it seems like at this point, when you have

Speaker 26 a quarterback that's on their rookie contract, this is the time to pay guys. But we've gone out.
We got Laramie Tunsel, have to pay him.

Speaker 83 Oh, my God.

Speaker 49 Yes, yes, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it.

Speaker 22 Well, it doesn't count because if I say it, he didn't say it.

Speaker 31 Then he should say it. No, no, no.

Speaker 37 He should not say this. He should not say this.

Speaker 26 I'll say it, but you can't pft can't be held to it because i'm saying it he's going to be a commander guarantee 125 125 guarantee it's going to get done all right i'll just role play as pft for a second i 110 think that terry mclaurin's going to be a commander and if he's not a commander i'm willing to give max my elk me know don't say that

Speaker 93 that's stupid you love that car i yeah don't you're just gonna i'm not gonna say i'm not gonna you're getting caught up in the moment right now

Speaker 85 because Max got you all working. I'm going to walk that back.

Speaker 50 I'm going to make this really easy on you.

Speaker 50 I will give it back to you if you give it to me because that seems like more of a hassle than I would really want.

Speaker 56 That's what I was thinking.

Speaker 24 Oh, wow.

Speaker 43 That feels like the El Camino died this morning.

Speaker 26 No, El Camino's, it's humming. It is humming.
All the haters and doubters are down bad right now. They're being awful quiet.

Speaker 50 I said this was going to be the summer of the El Camino. I think coming into this summer,

Speaker 51 I had put my full faith in the El Camino.

Speaker 66 You called it.

Speaker 26 Yeah. So, Max, I'll give you my El Camino if Terry McLaurin goes somewhere else.

Speaker 50 Okay, and as a, in good faith, I will give it back to you.

Speaker 44 No, you should, if he goes somewhere else, you should give it to an AWL who's actually

Speaker 85 kind of crazy. That wasn't part of the hypothetical magic.

Speaker 42 The Broncos, we find a random Broncos fan, and we're like, hey, you can have PFT's El Camino?

Speaker 26 PFT would never say that.

Speaker 51 That wouldn't do him. It's true.

Speaker 26 He did a bad job role-playing.

Speaker 26 My controls.

Speaker 69 Either way, Terry McLaurin, my controls.

Speaker 28 Terry McLaurin will be.

Speaker 26 We're going to work it out. It's going to be fine.
It's not great that it got to this point where now he's doing public disputes with things and saying that they haven't talked to him.

Speaker 26 They haven't made him an offer recently. It just has to work out because if it doesn't,

Speaker 74 where is he?

Speaker 11 Where is he being

Speaker 14 rumored to go?

Speaker 26 Nowhere. So

Speaker 26 he's got one year left on the ground.

Speaker 60 Any of the rumors?

Speaker 34 The Jets?

Speaker 26 I saw one hypothetical trade to the Jets.

Speaker 26 You got Dove Kleiman.

Speaker 88 Okay.

Speaker 15 Well, I would just like fans of other teams in the NFL, maybe tweet at us and let us know if you would want an El Camino if Terry McLaurin played for your team.

Speaker 86 It's too big.

Speaker 86 Just let us know.

Speaker 37 I just want to see.

Speaker 60 It's like a little poll.

Speaker 90 Listen.

Speaker 50 First thing I see, Terry McLaurin.

Speaker 83 Oh, Hank, would you like it?

Speaker 97 Feels Patriot trade buzz.

Speaker 51 Whoa.

Speaker 24 Would you like that?

Speaker 43 Yeah, and Terry McLaurin.

Speaker 31 That'd be awesome.

Speaker 42 Oh, my God.

Speaker 98 That might kill you if Hank was riding around in your El Camino.

Speaker 43 I would get a little paint shot, put Terry's number on it.

Speaker 26 I told you it was stupid as shit.

Speaker 23 Yeah, there's a role play.

Speaker 65 This is, again, still hypothetical role play.

Speaker 23 The El McLaurin.

Speaker 54 He's coming back.

Speaker 50 Of the four articles I'm seeing, two of them are Patriots.

Speaker 43 Oh, my God. Wow.

Speaker 26 That's a lot of articles

Speaker 31 of the four.

Speaker 97 Of the four.

Speaker 50 Heavy sports.

Speaker 43 You can have Van.

Speaker 50 NESN. NESN.
Got it.

Speaker 51 What is Super Bowl?

Speaker 13 What's the link link to Surprising Trade Commanders Terry?

Speaker 56 Click that one, the Sports Illustrated one.

Speaker 26 This was probably AI.

Speaker 26 They do AI articles.

Speaker 56 Yeah.

Speaker 43 Just clicks and clicks and clicks.

Speaker 13 Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 26 The Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 58 That would be a full-on cash grab.

Speaker 26 I would not like that.

Speaker 26 Terry is a commander. He's a commander.
He's a redskin football team and commander for life. Yeah.
Okay. When he goes into the Hall of Fame, which one do you think he goes in as?

Speaker 10 Tennessee Titan.

Speaker 81 I think maybe he goes in as a football team.

Speaker 13 He's going to stay in this game.

Speaker 26 We're going to work it out. Cooler heads are going to prevail.
I trust Adam Peters. I trust Terry McLaurin.
Everything's going to be fine. Stop saying it's not going to be fine.
It's going to be.

Speaker 51 I'm on your side, bro. Boy, I actually

Speaker 43 had a rookie deal makes sense to pay someone like him.

Speaker 90 Yeah, it does. Yeah.

Speaker 43 So then in theory,

Speaker 43 if he got traded to the Patriots, they would pay for him because they got a Titans. Quarterback in a rookie deal.

Speaker 26 We're not entertaining these Florio creations that you're pulling out, Hank.

Speaker 17 BFT, I want it on the record.

Speaker 101 I'm on your side.

Speaker 26 I think he's going to be a commander. He's going to be commander.
Terry's a one-uniform. Well,

Speaker 26 he's a three-uniform one-city guy. Yeah.

Speaker 26 He's going to be a commander. That's the ultimate legacy.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 14 Three different uniforms. What are you going to say, Max?

Speaker 50 No, I just.

Speaker 66 I'm rooting for you.

Speaker 23 No, you're who? No, you're not.

Speaker 43 Wait, who are you rooting for?

Speaker 50 Fuck. I guess if I root for you, then I would be rooting against Hank, right?

Speaker 26 And you hate doing that.

Speaker 64 Fuck, that is true.

Speaker 50 I guess if I had to root for one of you.

Speaker 102 What about memes?

Speaker 14 He said there was a rumor.

Speaker 103 True.

Speaker 50 Wait, would you be upset? Memes, would you be upset if Terry McLaurin's?

Speaker 43 I guess it makes sense you would root for a PFC because

Speaker 43 Jayne Daniels is kind of on the record. Top five QB top shit.
Yeah, it's true. You probably need someone like Terry McLaurin.
That's actually helps.

Speaker 72 No, he actually.

Speaker 50 No. You know what? Jayne Daniels doesn't even need Terry McLaurin.
Still a top five. You could put Jayne Daniels out with any receiving core in the NFL top five quarterback no doubt we got fast Debo

Speaker 26 Fast Debo yeah fast Ebo who Kittle said by the way looked like he was almost in too good a shape yeah yeah yeah he did say that fast it's exactly what he said right before he tried to tackle Hank and Hank hid behind me like the cowardly little mouse he is

Speaker 43 George Kittle running at you is one of the scariest sights like of all time.

Speaker 48 No, Kittle and he is a monster.

Speaker 27 There are two guys in our life, and we've gotten to know a bunch of these guys, and very lucky.

Speaker 17 The two guys that I will always say that, like, when you are around them, whether it be drinking or just being around them, and you're worried about maybe a little bit of wrestling and horseplay that will get you very, very injured is, it's George Kittle and Skyle Long.

Speaker 29 Both those guys, I'm just like, I don't, I'm always just kind of ready to be tackled and have like all my insides.

Speaker 26 like ripped up. I would say rabes too.

Speaker 96 We have rabe.

Speaker 15 Oh, I actually, so I like broke my pinky like four months ago.

Speaker 12 No, it was probably like six months ago.

Speaker 10 Never got it really fixed because you can't really do anything.

Speaker 17 And it would hurt every time I'd shake someone's hand for about two months.

Speaker 7 And the last four months, I've been totally fine.

Speaker 68 Hurt again, Mike Vrabel handshake.

Speaker 56 Vrabel gotcha. That was it.

Speaker 32 Yeah.

Speaker 96 Just a good old Vrabel handshake.

Speaker 17 We'll get you.

Speaker 26 He does the combo of the handshake and the pat on the back. Yeah.
Yeah, you can be wearing all the copperfit bracelets you want. You're getting knocked off balance.

Speaker 40 All right.

Speaker 27 The last story I had was

Speaker 56 LeBron's getting a little desperate, don't you guys think?

Speaker 15 Did you guys see the latest?

Speaker 16 Kobe Altman, the president of the Cleveland Cavaliers, got a contract extension, and LeBron James quote-tweeted it, and he said,

Speaker 18 Here's what he said.

Speaker 15 Yes, sir.

Speaker 12 Congratulations to my brother B.

Speaker 18 Weems.

Speaker 14 Super proud of you, man.

Speaker 7 Was this the praying?

Speaker 68 No.

Speaker 12 Praise? No, praise.

Speaker 1 Praise emoji, praise emoji, praise emoji, praise emoji, praise emoji, praise emoji, praise emoji, praying hands, heart.

Speaker 26 That's a lot. That's a lot of emojis.

Speaker 64 He wants to be a Cav so bad.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 64 So bad.

Speaker 26 We talk about it later.

Speaker 15 Yeah, but

Speaker 15 this one is recently.

Speaker 26 He's not going to be a Laker, I don't think.

Speaker 56 No.

Speaker 48 All right.

Speaker 91 Well, let's get to the later.

Speaker 10 Let's get to everything else. We've got a great show.

Speaker 14 We got Shane Victorino.

Speaker 12 Awesome interview.

Speaker 7 Make sure you tune into the part where Max has a great question for him.

Speaker 26 Never Meet Your Heroes.

Speaker 1 Never Meet Your Heroes. Shane Bacon talking open championship.

Speaker 11 Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 68 And remember, Friday takeies.

Speaker 26 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 26 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 26 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo style chicken paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 26 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 58 Okay, Henry, hot seat, cool throne.

Speaker 43 My hot seat is Uno in Vegas. Yes.
Oh. It was first reported on this show by one PFT commenter that they were going to be able to

Speaker 43 play Uno in Vegas for money as a casino game.

Speaker 26 It's not first surprised. I read a news article.

Speaker 84 I first read it.

Speaker 43 I heard it first on this program. Okay.

Speaker 15 So, as you know, first reported by PFT.

Speaker 10 Yes.

Speaker 43 Uno yesterday put out a statement. A rumor has come to our attention that there will be Uno tables on the casino floors in Las Vegas.
Sounds wild, huh?

Speaker 43 We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but the casino floor isn't ready for us yet. We've told that while they do have tight security, it's not robust enough for Uno at this time.

Speaker 43 This isn't a reverse card. While we get this sorted out, and then they just promoted their Uno social club.

Speaker 43 So there's like an Uno social club that they're doing in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and Austin, but not Vegas.

Speaker 26 So it sounds like the casino put out the statement too soon.

Speaker 26 Yeah. The casino that had planned this entire room of Uno, they didn't have final agreement with Uno.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 52 They didn't clear it with Uno first.

Speaker 26 So PFT's right. So what's to stop them from just making a card game that's identical to Uno, but not called Uno? Nothing.

Speaker 56 I guess copyright.

Speaker 26 Maybe copyright.

Speaker 67 Maybe copyright.

Speaker 34 Duo.

Speaker 89 Duo. It also would take a long time.

Speaker 71 Yeah. Casino games are built up to the city of San Diego.

Speaker 89 That's what I said.

Speaker 43 No, but like casino games are

Speaker 43 not like Vegas would want that either.

Speaker 57 No, especially if you can't play for money.

Speaker 12 You're just going and playing Uno.

Speaker 19 That's like the last thing you want to do. Yeah.

Speaker 26 Hoodoo Uno here.

Speaker 20 That's what I would call it. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 15 All right, good hot seating. Thanks.

Speaker 26 You just attacked PFT, but that was just a rip, but that's fine. Nice hat, by the way.

Speaker 26 It was a report that was widely reported. And the casino, I blame the casino, their PR department.
Got to get these deals done before you tweet them out.

Speaker 42 Why are you wearing that hat?

Speaker 23 I don't know.

Speaker 88 It's a fish. It's a fish.

Speaker 36 It's a fish. What kind of fish is that?

Speaker 23 I don't know.

Speaker 28 Oh, great promo for the fishing contest coming out July 21st. Dolphin fish?

Speaker 23 Is this a dolphin fish?

Speaker 105 Might be. I don't know what type of fish it is.

Speaker 16 Where'd you buy the hat?

Speaker 43 I got it when I was fishing a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 37 You don't know what fish it is?

Speaker 43 It's a guy was literally handing them out to me and my buddies on the boat.

Speaker 17 Oh, it might be a mahi-mahi.

Speaker 106 Zach found it.

Speaker 29 That's a mahi-mahi.

Speaker 31 Sure, is dolphin fish.

Speaker 51 Dolphin fish. That's dolphin fish.

Speaker 52 Yeah, same thing.

Speaker 70 Max found it.

Speaker 26 Good job, Zach.

Speaker 70 Good job, Zach.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 43 Who throws the Red Sox? People got mad at me for not bringing this up on Monday.

Speaker 26 The Trump Sox.

Speaker 106 What are they, 10-0?

Speaker 26 They're undefeated since meeting with President Trump.

Speaker 51 Oh, hell yeah.

Speaker 43 Yeah, they've won 10 straight games, going to the all-star break. Coming to Chicago this weekend.
Excited to see him.

Speaker 107 What's that?

Speaker 43 I'm taking a deep deep breath. I took a deep breath, and I was doing the running motion.
I am, the bandwagon is running in front of me, and I'm

Speaker 43 pretty close to hopping on. Pretty close.
We'll see how this weekend goes.

Speaker 26 Because, like, a month ago, you were you had jumped off the bandwagon.

Speaker 43 I know, but then they go on a 10-game winning streak. They traded Raphael.
Like, that seemed to be a trade that didn't make sense at the time. Clearly, it's working.
They're coming together as a team.

Speaker 43 You love to see that. They have some crazy walk-off wins.

Speaker 43 Coming to Chicago. I'm going to see them in person, up close and personal.

Speaker 43 It might be time, okay.

Speaker 26 Get it started, playing well.

Speaker 108 I think they have a tough remaining schedule.

Speaker 38 I saw there was a, I don't know if I have it, I just saw that the Cubs have the easiest schedule remaining, which made me feel good, but they still need to get a pitcher.

Speaker 105 We could have some

Speaker 105 fun, fun

Speaker 43 yeah, people are saying that about that. I mean, and that's where it's like, you know, they're saying that they're not gonna make any moves to the deadline and just kind of sputter out.

Speaker 43 But I'm getting close to believing and hopping right on the bandwagon.

Speaker 3 Okay, so remaining toughest, remaining schedules.

Speaker 26 The Red Sox have the third toughest.

Speaker 9 Scroll down.

Speaker 29 The Cubs have the 28th easiest or the third to last or the third easiest.

Speaker 106 Where are the Phillies and Mets? Phillies are right in the middle.

Speaker 70 Mets are seven toughest.

Speaker 29 Get some good baseball coming down the stretch, boys.

Speaker 75 Might be a collision course

Speaker 104 for the Mets, Phillies, Cubs.

Speaker 43 That'd be fun. That'd be great.

Speaker 51 This could be be a very interesting

Speaker 36 contentious.

Speaker 43 Or the Pods.

Speaker 3 Padres are right there.

Speaker 91 The NL is pretty strong.

Speaker 2 Like, the NL has the Mets, the Phillies, the Cubs, the Brewers.

Speaker 105 The Cardinals are not out of it.

Speaker 15 And then in the West, the Dodgers, Giants, and Padres.

Speaker 32 I mean, Dodgers are better, but like, there's a lot of good teams in the NL.

Speaker 63 So

Speaker 106 it's going to get spicy. Yeah.

Speaker 61 Okay. Good job, Hank.
Thanks.

Speaker 26 My hot seat is Max.

Speaker 41 Oh.

Speaker 26 I got Max on the hot seat. Yes.

Speaker 56 Because, well, why do you have him on the hot seat?

Speaker 64 I was going to say PG.

Speaker 100 PG.

Speaker 53 PG.

Speaker 59 PG.

Speaker 43 PG actually reported PG to me.

Speaker 90 PG. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 53 PG.

Speaker 50 PG Max. Yeah, no, he's probably going to go down.

Speaker 61 Wait, what happened to PG?

Speaker 50 PG.

Speaker 4 Paul George?

Speaker 51 Paul George. Playoff P.

Speaker 69 Playoff P, podcast P.

Speaker 50 Podcast P, preseason P. Preseason P has injured himself again in the preseason.

Speaker 51 Oh, did he injure himself?

Speaker 26 It's PCL?

Speaker 50 He hurt his knee in a workout.

Speaker 66 And

Speaker 50 he's probably going to go down as the biggest bust in Philly history.

Speaker 26 But the good news is.

Speaker 36 Wait, wait.

Speaker 26 Do you think he's going to go down the biggest bust? Ben Simmons.

Speaker 56 Ben Simmons was an all-star.

Speaker 26 Markel Fultz?

Speaker 103 Markel Fultz?

Speaker 44 Was not an all-star.

Speaker 23 Not an all-star.

Speaker 50 He had a triple-double in his rookie year. I remember that.

Speaker 53 That was cool.

Speaker 48 James Harden.

Speaker 50 James Harden had like 50 points in

Speaker 50 an elimination game.

Speaker 37 Who's the guy you clapped for?

Speaker 50 They won that game.

Speaker 5 Who's the guy you clapped for?

Speaker 26 It was Trey Turner. Trey Turner? Yeah, he's at a bust.

Speaker 50 I also don't think that was an elimination game. I think that was maybe game one.
But in that playoff series,

Speaker 91 he fell apart at the end.

Speaker 5 So it was

Speaker 26 seven. We know that.

Speaker 40 Playoff P is in the running right now for biggest game.

Speaker 26 Can you do a Mount Rushmore of the biggest bust in Philadelphia history?

Speaker 50 Andrew Bynum is 1-1.

Speaker 26 Did he win a championship?

Speaker 38 With the Lakers, I believe.

Speaker 31 Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 50 And then the Sixers traded a ton to get him. I don't think he played a single game.

Speaker 66 I think he got hurt and then never played a game.

Speaker 88 Okay.

Speaker 9 Playoff P.

Speaker 50 Playoff P. Markel Fultz.

Speaker 103 Markel Fultz.

Speaker 66 Yeah, Markel Fultz.

Speaker 50 But I feel like rookie.

Speaker 43 No, Markel Fultz is definitely up there.

Speaker 103 What's his name? Aguilar?

Speaker 50 Nelson Aguilar. But that was a late.

Speaker 50 That was only because of Justin Jefferson.

Speaker 53 You could have got Justin Jefferson.

Speaker 23 Wait, no, that's Jalen Rager.

Speaker 53 Or Jalen Rager.

Speaker 91 Jalen Rager.

Speaker 48 Sorry. Sorry.

Speaker 43 Sorry.

Speaker 50 Jalen Rager, definitely up there.

Speaker 78 Carson Wentz.

Speaker 50 No, Carson Wentz was

Speaker 26 also great because

Speaker 26 when you traded him, you got so much time.

Speaker 50 Carson Wentz has a Super Bowl.

Speaker 48 Okay, you said won a Super Bowl.

Speaker 77 He said Carson Wentz won a Super Bowl.

Speaker 50 He was a part of a Super Bowl roller.

Speaker 28 He was part of a Super Bowl roster.

Speaker 23 That's true.

Speaker 16 That is a fact.

Speaker 50 And he would have been MVP if he didn't get hurt.

Speaker 26 When you get rid of Paul George, your team does better, right? We know that from recent history. Yeah, what are you going to do?

Speaker 10 What are the Sixers going to do?

Speaker 16 It's so crazy that the entire East is set up so perfectly for the Sixers to maybe be good, and then they have this.

Speaker 50 Yeah. I mean,

Speaker 50 apparently, there's like no ligament.

Speaker 50 All the Sixers' heads are doing the

Speaker 50 same thing.

Speaker 50 He'll be ready by training camp. There's no ligament data.
It just was just a cleanup thing.

Speaker 23 How did he get hurt?

Speaker 50 It just says in a workout.

Speaker 58 That's why you never work out.

Speaker 51 Yeah, fair.

Speaker 78 That's why you never work out.

Speaker 50 Yeah, no.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 66 Bad, really bad.

Speaker 26 Bad vibes going into the. I mean, the East is wide open right now.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 50 Vijay Edgecombe had one, he played one game, had 28 points. We haven't seen him since.
He just has the Sixers.

Speaker 50 There's something in that room. There's something.

Speaker 78 Did you see the dunk that the elephant? Noah Essenge.

Speaker 70 He got dunked on, and there was in the Summer League Bulls' first-round pick, it was maybe the worst graphic, like worst picture you could ever see.

Speaker 106 Yeah, the guy's like screaming for his life as he gets yammed on.

Speaker 26 The guy went full tomahawk.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 26 The ball was beyond horizontal. It was crazy.

Speaker 3 Good search.

Speaker 75 uh

Speaker 62 he just spelled it e-s-e-n-g-a-y

Speaker 58 yeah it's good it got me to where i needed to be yeah it got you look at that picture that's a tough picture listen that's a tough visual

Speaker 26 he basically looks like he's being assaulted yeah that's bad it's bad yam like if he had a whistle he would blow it there it was a bad yam

Speaker 43 or he's just having the nut of a lifetime yeah

Speaker 4 Oh, good Summer League talk.

Speaker 26 I do love Summer League. Oh, I had a question for you guys.
Yeah. We need to establish this as a podcast.

Speaker 26 The more and more we get into it, the more it feels like LeBron James might not be a Laker next year.

Speaker 17 I would say he's not. Right?

Speaker 26 Playing a lot of golf now. Play golf now.

Speaker 41 A lot of golf.

Speaker 26 If he does go to the Cavs and the Cavs win

Speaker 26 in an East that is beyond depleted this year, we need to just already say this, that doesn't count.

Speaker 56 Yeah. Right?

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 26 Like, you got the Pacers, they're out of it. The Bucs are probably out of it.
Yeah.

Speaker 43 I kind of wanted to go back to Cleveland.

Speaker 43 It'll be so fun to ramp it back up. You know what I'm wishing for?

Speaker 75 But

Speaker 80 Cleveland would be a good thing.

Speaker 43 It would be so dumb for them to trade for LeBron.

Speaker 70 The thing I'm rooting for, I saw a rumor that he's trying to maybe go to the Mavs to play with KD and AD

Speaker 105 or Kyrie and AD.

Speaker 43 Imagine if Nico traded Cooper flag for LeBron.

Speaker 108 That would be the funniest thing ever.

Speaker 26 That would be very funny.

Speaker 17 I don't wish that for Mad Sense, but that would be the funniest thing ever.

Speaker 26 Yeah, I just want to establish that. The East is down.
Coward move if he goes to the Cavs. Coward move if he wins a title with the Cavs.

Speaker 102 Yeah.

Speaker 90 Ahead of time. Agreed.

Speaker 26 100% agree. My cool throne is Teddy Bridgewater being a good guy.

Speaker 26 So Teddy Bridgewater got suspended. He's a high school football coach in Miami.
I think it's Northwestern, Northwestern High School in Miami.

Speaker 26 Everybody loves Teddy Bridgewater. Everyone that you've ever talked to that's that's been around him loves the guy.

Speaker 26 He has been suspended from his job as head coach because he paid for Uber rides, meals, recovery services for his players last year.

Speaker 26 He asked fans to donate to help cover those expenses this year, and then he self-reported those payments to Miami of Northwestern. So apparently, he paid out of pocket $14,000 for training camp.

Speaker 26 He bought pride sets, $9,000, pre-game meals,

Speaker 26 $2,000 a week. He paid for recovery for his players to the tune of $1,000 a week.
He bought Ubers at $700 a week, and he bought the paint that goes on the field for $300 a week.

Speaker 57 Good guy. Good guy.

Speaker 26 And now, why is this against the rules for a coach to do that?

Speaker 77 I don't know, but it is one of the most absurd controversies.

Speaker 105 I don't even want to call it a controversy because...

Speaker 106 I think everyone has Teddy Bridgewater's side.

Speaker 29 Like, why can't someone try to better their community?

Speaker 106 Why is he? And Teddy Bridgewater even said, I'm not an employee, so they can't suspend me.

Speaker 26 He volunteered. Yeah.
So this is all through the goodness of his heart that he did this. But I think now, like throughout the years, we've been complaining to the NCAA, you got to pay the players.

Speaker 26 Yep.

Speaker 26 Take it easy on the players. We might have to just switch up to high school football now.

Speaker 29 You got to pay the players. You got to pay the players.

Speaker 78 You got to pay the players.

Speaker 56 Pay these guys.

Speaker 26 I like that.

Speaker 26 They're doing Netflix documentaries.

Speaker 26 They're getting thousands of views on Instagram, on their highlight reels.

Speaker 28 Pay the players. Pay the players.

Speaker 26 Pay the high school players. Teddy Bridgewater, good guy, though.

Speaker 10 Pay the AU players.

Speaker 56 Yeah, listen, pay babies.

Speaker 26 T-ball. Babies should get paid.

Speaker 23 Absolutely.

Speaker 26 Okay, my hot seat is Conor McGregor.

Speaker 36 What would happen?

Speaker 16 He has his penis all over the internet because he sent an unsolicited dick pic to Azalea Banks.

Speaker 51 A couple of them.

Speaker 10 Couple of them, which, by the way,

Speaker 45 I only saw the blurred-out version until Jerry O'Connell accidentally sent me and PFT a full Conor McGregor nude last night out of nowhere.

Speaker 56 Yep.

Speaker 15 And just said, sorry, wrong text.

Speaker 17 I don't think it was wrong text.

Speaker 54 I think he meant he was trying to get us.

Speaker 70 He was trying to get us with Conor McGregor's penis.

Speaker 9 Herbert.

Speaker 17 Azalea Banks, what is she known for?

Speaker 26 This. Stuff like this.
Okay, so

Speaker 3 he really kicked the hornet's nest here.

Speaker 26 Yeah, I think that Azalea Banks would be the last person on planet Earth that you should send a dick picture to.

Speaker 78 And Conor McGregor was like, fuck it, I'm Conor McGregor.

Speaker 15 Maybe he was trying to get his dick out.

Speaker 5 He might be.

Speaker 3 That was like, because you can't leak it yourself.

Speaker 15 So he was just doing this on purpose to be like, I want to just let everyone know that there's my penis.

Speaker 26 Yeah, that's not a bad thought because if you send, Azalea Banks, as far as I can tell, she just lives to stir shit up online now. Okay.
That's what she does.

Speaker 110 And Conor McGregor said it unsolicited.

Speaker 26 Unsolicited. So he might have just been expecting for this to happen.

Speaker 36 Conor McGregor, I'm starting to think he might not be a good guy.

Speaker 54 Maybe not.

Speaker 40 There's a lot of stuff going on.

Speaker 26 He had a weight on one of his pictures a weight on his penis he was training yeah he's doing some training does that work was it a weight or was it i thought it was

Speaker 26 what it looked like he was doing some curls if you know what i'm saying what do you got i thought it was like a circumcision thing huh foreskin like it like pulled it back

Speaker 43 oh i don't know wait so he's got he's got like a piece of equipment that he uses on his hog that's what it looked like cock ring like yeah it looked like it it like pushed pulled everything back like kind of like a hair tie for your cock It's hard to find the dick pic.

Speaker 112 I was trying to find it. Yeah.
And then Jerry helped me.

Speaker 53 I can't find it.

Speaker 91 Just text Jerry.

Speaker 26 He'll send it to you. Is that a common thing?

Speaker 31 I don't know. I'm not.

Speaker 43 I don't.

Speaker 26 Uncircumcised guys, they have a special ring they put on for sending dick pics.

Speaker 43 I'm circumcised, so I really don't know. But that's

Speaker 43 our first glance, that's what it looked like. I was confused at the difference in the two pictures.
But the second one, you could see.

Speaker 26 Also, Kale Sunnin.

Speaker 56 Kale Sunnin, yeah. He stopped.

Speaker 26 I've heard it pronounced both ways.

Speaker 56 Oh, okay.

Speaker 26 Which Which way have you heard, Hank?

Speaker 48 I've heard chale. Chale.

Speaker 43 Well, I'm a phonetic guy. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 70 So that H has to do something. Yeah.
All right.

Speaker 29 Just have a no-show job

Speaker 70 H out there.

Speaker 26 So he hopped online yesterday. That probably means it's Kale.

Speaker 2 Yeah, probably, but I'm saying, like, I don't.

Speaker 17 I respect the H.

Speaker 26 Yeah, me too. So he said yesterday, I can't stop staring at Conor McGregor's dick.
I can't stop. I've stared at this dick for the last two hours.
Wow.

Speaker 105 He could be up for a takeie coming Friday.

Speaker 108 He had a busy day.

Speaker 26 Yeah, he did.

Speaker 17 All right, my cool throne is Zach.

Speaker 40 It is the summer of Zach.

Speaker 40 Zach,

Speaker 29 maybe when we do guys on chicks, he'll give us an update whether he's going on a date or not.

Speaker 106 But, Zach, I had a friend of ours hit me up and was like, hey, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ever heard of them?

Speaker 108 Would like to send something to the office.

Speaker 2 And I said, well, I know that we have one massive Bucks fans fan here at Barcelon Sports, and his name is Zach.

Speaker 17 Can't think of another.

Speaker 49 Look at this.

Speaker 26 They sent you a box.

Speaker 44 You want to open it on here, bring it back to the...

Speaker 51 Oh, is that a weight at the bottom of it?

Speaker 15 Yeah, there's a weight at the bottom.

Speaker 11 We're back to Conor McGregor's penis.

Speaker 43 I didn't see that part.

Speaker 3 Zach, go back in there and open it up.

Speaker 2 Let's see what's in there.

Speaker 91 Cool throwing Zach.

Speaker 15 Yeah, there's a weight.

Speaker 43 He was doing weightlifting. I did not see

Speaker 89 Keggles.

Speaker 43 I think it was too long, but

Speaker 76 I tried to do a Kegel once.

Speaker 26 You just squeeze.

Speaker 108 Yeah, and I was just like, nothing.

Speaker 26 I don't think there's weights involved, though.

Speaker 75 It was one of those things that, like, what's more embarrassing, doing Keggles or coming too fast?

Speaker 29 Well, it's like if you do

Speaker 26 Keggles, maybe you'll increase your time from 30 seconds to 45 seconds.

Speaker 15 Right. And so I made the executive decision right away.

Speaker 106 It's like the more embarrassing thing here is having people be like, hey, you do Kegels.

Speaker 31 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Rather, just stay the status quo.

Speaker 2 All right, Zach, what is in the box?

Speaker 33 What's in the box?

Speaker 52 What's in the box?

Speaker 72 Oh, we got 50 seasons on the front.

Speaker 99 Okay.

Speaker 37 So this is, I believe, new uniform. I think I still got a letter.

Speaker 48 Okay.

Speaker 72 We want to include you a special preview of the newest piece of Buccaneers history.

Speaker 72 Inside this box is an early look at the modern nod to the original 1976 jersey that helped define the start of the Buccaneers football.

Speaker 72 This reimagined piece of our history is more than just a throwback. It is a celebration of where we've been and

Speaker 51 how far we have come.

Speaker 72 We're excited to share it with you ahead of the official reveal.

Speaker 50 Outside of...

Speaker 96 Oh.

Speaker 105 Oh, come on.

Speaker 36 Yeah, these are sake. Yeah.

Speaker 88 You look great. Go, Bucks.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 26 Take off the tag.

Speaker 38 You look like a poser.

Speaker 19 There you go.

Speaker 37 All right. Zach, your hot seat cool to run.

Speaker 48 Yes, sir. I got one for you.

Speaker 72 So, hot seat, you guys are competing in a home run derby today. I I did enjoy the last home run derby, and Max went 113 for 190.

Speaker 72 So, I would like to see Max is my hot seat today, because I would like to see Max go yard again.

Speaker 51 Okay. All right.
Okay.

Speaker 3 That's going to be. So, obviously, the start of the show, we'll probably talk about it, but do we want to do predictions that will look stupid afterwards?

Speaker 7 Team Max versus Team Hank.

Speaker 26 I think Hank drafted a great team. There was no draft.
Good picks, Hank.

Speaker 50 Hank's team looks pretty good.

Speaker 31 Hank's pretty diesel.

Speaker 43 Last year, I think I went nine for ten

Speaker 43 three or four times.

Speaker 43 I just went 10 for 10 once.

Speaker 88 Okay.

Speaker 43 That's my personal goal. Yeah,

Speaker 73 once you find it, you're lethal.

Speaker 43 I think you guys.

Speaker 43 Last year, I also tore my bicep and was on the DL for like three weeks. That cannot happen.
I forgot you tore your bicep.

Speaker 26 It can't happen this year. How did you tear your bicep?

Speaker 43 From taking a bunch of swings. It hurt really bad like halfway through,

Speaker 43 but I found it.

Speaker 43 And I just, I was, I got really competitive and didn't care about the injury. Huge mistake.

Speaker 57 So you're you're caring about injuries?

Speaker 88 Yes. Okay.

Speaker 21 Fair.

Speaker 50 I also feel like tearing your bicep from swinging is

Speaker 26 kind of soft. Soft.

Speaker 43 Yeah, very soft.

Speaker 50 Like, people take that many swings.

Speaker 43 Like, we also, there also may have been, like, a workout suit involved that might have fucked up my bicep beforehand, but that's all right. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 115 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 51 All right, you're cool, throwing.

Speaker 72 You did hit roughly 85 home runs last year, Hank.

Speaker 88 Roughly or exactly?

Speaker 72 I think it's, I'm exact. I skipped all the way to the end of the video to get the graphic.
I may be like one homer off.

Speaker 59 Okay.

Speaker 56 That sounds good. Still strong performance, though.
Yeah.

Speaker 23 All right.

Speaker 72 I do have a quick cool throwing. Are you guys familiar with Los Polos TV?

Speaker 115 Yes. No.

Speaker 36 Hank, that's sick.

Speaker 72 So Los Polos is a streamer,

Speaker 72 YouTube video.

Speaker 72 So he is what you would call anybody familiar with NBA 2K?

Speaker 102 Yes.

Speaker 72 Los Polos would be Mount Rush

Speaker 72 all-time NBA 2K

Speaker 72 player online.

Speaker 43 Great Fortnite player, too.

Speaker 72 Fantastic at Fortnite as well.

Speaker 88 Okay.

Speaker 26 So

Speaker 72 he is cool thrown today because Los Polos on record, big Drake fan, historically massive Drake fan.

Speaker 72 And this last weekend at the Wireless Festival in London, he was not only shouted out on stage, but he was also main feed Instagram posted. I loved seeing this for him.
I knew it was a huge moment.

Speaker 72 And as someone who grew up watching Los Polos TV, I love this for him.

Speaker 36 Good for him.

Speaker 54 Cool throne.

Speaker 35 Okay, shout out Los Polos.

Speaker 2 I love this because when Zach does these and I have no idea what they are,

Speaker 10 usually like the account will

Speaker 15 be like, thanks for the shout-out, pardon my take.

Speaker 29 It is Joey Camasta.

Speaker 86 That's just Joey.

Speaker 3 They'll be like, thanks for the shout-out, pardon my take.

Speaker 106 And I'll look at the person and they have like 10 million followers.

Speaker 56 Like, wow, that was actually good.

Speaker 26 Yeah. Work, Zach.
So

Speaker 26 Drake's his boy now.

Speaker 72 They look pretty broed up in the photo.

Speaker 60 They do look broed up.

Speaker 43 And we talked about like Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard.

Speaker 43 It's kind of like the Rizzler,

Speaker 43 and then Los Polos would be the next iteration, and then like Los Polos' dad would be Charizard.

Speaker 26 The adult version of the Rizzler.

Speaker 31 Yeah.

Speaker 88 Got it.

Speaker 53 AJ.

Speaker 70 Big Justice, you mean?

Speaker 89 Oh, The Rizzler.

Speaker 15 No, but the adult version of the Rizzler is Big Justice.

Speaker 56 No. No,

Speaker 72 what? It's Wad.

Speaker 50 So Los Polos TV's dad is also like a guy?

Speaker 36 Yeah, they stream together. Oh, yeah,

Speaker 56 those are the same guy.

Speaker 4 The exact same guy.

Speaker 43 His dad has some fucking hilarious, hilarious clips.

Speaker 72 Wad is the man.

Speaker 76 So it's Jay Portnoy and Mr.

Speaker 11 Portnoy?

Speaker 60 Yeah, I guess, yeah.

Speaker 48 Okay.

Speaker 50 It's going to be crazy when Zach's a bigger streamer than all these guys.

Speaker 56 Yeah. Crazy.
This is going to be crazy all.

Speaker 72 Not a chance. Los Polos is going to be Hall of Fame all-time stamp.
Oh, yeah. Los Polos is the guy.

Speaker 28 Wait, how long have you been watching Los Polos?

Speaker 72 Many a, many a year.

Speaker 26 Okay. What's your favorite moment from Los Polos?

Speaker 72 Anything 2K related. Also, when it's a running thing, he reads threats from the chat, and they're always hilarious.

Speaker 75 He reads threats?

Speaker 90 Yes. Okay.

Speaker 3 Wait, so he was just nasty at 2K?

Speaker 72 Yeah, he's great at the game, and also, like, he just, it builds a sense of, like, you're playing a game, you're also watching Lowe's play the game. It's like a completely

Speaker 72 hanging out.

Speaker 88 Yeah.

Speaker 51 I love that.

Speaker 58 Love that.

Speaker 76 Okay.

Speaker 28 Good hot seat, cool thrown, everyone.

Speaker 75 Let's do our Mount Rush more.

Speaker 118 The Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 118 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 118 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 35 Okay, Mount Rushmore time.

Speaker 108 Standings. What are the standings?

Speaker 52 I forget.

Speaker 89 Somebody give it to us.

Speaker 43 13, 12, 11.

Speaker 76 13, 12, 11.

Speaker 91 Oh, shit.

Speaker 15 I just saw

Speaker 70 memes sent us Conor McGregor's cock.

Speaker 43 13, 12, 11. Okay.
13, Max and Memes, 12, P15, Hank, 11, Big Cat. Is anyone game?

Speaker 12 We got our first win.

Speaker 70 All right.

Speaker 1 Today we're doing the Mount Rushmore of things people don't care about.

Speaker 71 Is that correctly phrased?

Speaker 26 Stuff no one cares about.

Speaker 4 Stuff no one cares about.

Speaker 15 Okay, who is up first? Is it us?

Speaker 72 That'd be Big Cat and Zach.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 82 Then me and Max are second.

Speaker 50 It's going counterclockwise.

Speaker 103 Well, no, we're all we're all screwed up. We can't do that.

Speaker 19 We're all screwed up on this.

Speaker 17 By the way, I just want to say a caveat before I think it's very cool to care about things.

Speaker 29 This is not an indictment on caring. Caring is cool.

Speaker 108 Everyone has things they love and care about.

Speaker 29 But this is just stuff people don't care about.

Speaker 41 Okay.

Speaker 3 The first pick we will take

Speaker 45 your fantasy team.

Speaker 71 Don't care about your fantasy team.

Speaker 26 It's a good pick.

Speaker 22 I don't know how the phrasing it is.

Speaker 15 So is it going to say your fantasy team?

Speaker 50 I think all of it is going to be like yours, I think.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 28 okay.

Speaker 43 Or is it someone else's or fantasy team?

Speaker 43 I guess, yeah.

Speaker 23 I think it has to be your.

Speaker 53 I think it's your fantasy team.

Speaker 26 Yeah, I think it's yours.

Speaker 23 I think your has to be fantastic.

Speaker 71 I think we can just do that for all, for most of them.

Speaker 86 Most of them, yes, yeah.

Speaker 107 Okay.

Speaker 78 What are you thinking? Did you guys have that on your list?

Speaker 50 Yeah, we did. Yeah.

Speaker 50 I think the first couple are on everyone's list.

Speaker 66 We're going to go your dreams.

Speaker 51 Okay. Yeah.
Good one.

Speaker 33 How did that?

Speaker 26 All right, so we're going to double up.

Speaker 26 Yeah, we're going to double up. I think, Hank, I think we go number three and then number two.

Speaker 31 I trust you wholeheartedly.

Speaker 47 Okay.

Speaker 49 Your parlay.

Speaker 50 At it.

Speaker 26 Gonna take that, and then on the way back, COVID.

Speaker 26 Okay. No one cares about it anymore.
Yep.

Speaker 50 That's a good one. That's true.

Speaker 50 I have.

Speaker 33 Imagine all of the people.

Speaker 29 I'm going to accept a veto on this next day.

Speaker 66 Okay. All right, veto.

Speaker 36 Auto veto?

Speaker 78 No.

Speaker 70 Give it to us.

Speaker 50 It's just that these two things are so similar that I want, that I understand, but they're whatever I I I will say your dog slash child photos.

Speaker 15 No, it's got to be one or the other.

Speaker 23 Yeah, okay. I will take

Speaker 31 they're not that similar.

Speaker 26 They're not similar. No, they're pretty much the same thing.

Speaker 36 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 47 Yeah. One dog.

Speaker 17 Well, but it's like the same thing.

Speaker 34 If you have a dog.

Speaker 26 It's the exact same thing raising it.

Speaker 86 It's a puppy as it is a baby.

Speaker 50 No, but it's just the but it's the pay. It's the picture of like whatever.
I will I will take your child your child's photos.

Speaker 90 Okay. Okay.
Okay.

Speaker 26 It seems a little cold-hearted. Yeah.
But that, I mean, that's the Max hates kids.

Speaker 43 Can I bring a human being into this world? That's like the hardest thing someone can do. Okay.

Speaker 23 You

Speaker 43 that's my peck. That's pretty disrespectful to your mom.

Speaker 66 That's my pick.

Speaker 28 That is very disrespectful to your mom.

Speaker 43 Like, if your mom posts on Facebook, you're like, Mom, why are you posting this bullshit?

Speaker 26 It's actually disrespectful to all moms.

Speaker 68 Yeah.

Speaker 41 Mm-hmm. Sounds like you.

Speaker 43 Dogs, on the other hand.

Speaker 41 Yeah.

Speaker 56 Fair point.

Speaker 15 What do we do here, Zach?

Speaker 72 Do you like eight?

Speaker 72 Or is eight not strong enough? We do have some other hitters, maybe.

Speaker 80 Yeah,

Speaker 26 we do have some hitters.

Speaker 1 We have a couple hitters.

Speaker 70 Man, this is tough. This is tough.

Speaker 10 This is where it gets tough.

Speaker 3 This is where it gets tough.

Speaker 102 That one was taken.

Speaker 28 I think one, two.

Speaker 32 That one is very bad.

Speaker 43 You still have your 1-1?

Speaker 34 Yeah, we still do.

Speaker 15 Well, we didn't order it exactly the right way, but I do think that one is.

Speaker 109 164. So yeah, four plays.

Speaker 51 All right.

Speaker 2 So this is a little different than the kids' photos.

Speaker 70 Don't care about your kids' sports accomplishments.

Speaker 106 Like when people are like, oh, my kid did awesome in, you know, T-ball or like this.

Speaker 17 Like, I know when I say it to someone, I'm like, this is the most boring thing I could possibly tell someone.

Speaker 88 Yeah.

Speaker 43 It's a participation trophy. Right.
Right.

Speaker 89 So

Speaker 43 16 or 14. Huge sports.

Speaker 51 Like, if they're in high school, it could be something. But yeah.

Speaker 106 When you're like, yeah, my kid had a double in T-ball.

Speaker 26 Don't fucking care. I would even say that when Archie Manning talks about his children, I tune out.
Yeah.

Speaker 56 Quit bragging on your kids, dude. Yeah.

Speaker 44 And then

Speaker 121 don't care about your opinion on politics.

Speaker 17 Just don't care.

Speaker 106 When someone gives, shares their opinion on politics.

Speaker 104 Do not care.

Speaker 43 Yeah, but what if they can shape your opinion?

Speaker 35 I don't care.

Speaker 106 When someone shares their opinion on politics, I do not care.

Speaker 26 Sometimes it's interesting. If it's a wild celebrity and they go in a direction that you did not think that they were going to go, then I'm like, oh,

Speaker 23 okay.

Speaker 43 No, yeah. Athletes, when they do it, it's like.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 43 I like watching them hit bombs.

Speaker 33 Right.

Speaker 47 Right.

Speaker 51 I don't care. Yeah.
It's good. Yeah.
It's a good picture.

Speaker 32 So it could be celebrities' opinions on politics specifically.

Speaker 51 Because I do not care at all.

Speaker 43 Athletes, you do?

Speaker 15 So, I mean, celebrities and athletes are the same thing.

Speaker 16 Would you want me to put athletes slash celebrities? No.

Speaker 89 So it's fine. Okay.

Speaker 99 Okay.

Speaker 50 We're going to going to go with your concert videos.

Speaker 23 Yeah, that's

Speaker 105 really good one.

Speaker 36 And everyone takes it out.

Speaker 50 Is there anything quicker that you

Speaker 50 scroll upon on Instagram that it's like someone putting their entire concert? It's like, oh, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

Speaker 66 Don't care about this at all.

Speaker 51 Yeah. Yep.

Speaker 26 They upload like an hour and 20 minutes to YouTube from the shittiest angle with the worst audio.

Speaker 26 Good pick. Good pick.
Okay, so it's on us, Hank.

Speaker 43 I like six a lot.

Speaker 26 I know you love six.

Speaker 42 Do it.

Speaker 26 You love six.

Speaker 43 And then you, but you can do whatever you want first.

Speaker 17 Whether or not you're drunk at the funeral.

Speaker 26 I think five is good too.

Speaker 122 Yeah, your ball.

Speaker 26 Oh, who's making the pics? This is me. 15.

Speaker 26 All right, so I'm going to go with Hank's pick.

Speaker 26 Your workout pictures.

Speaker 115 Okay.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 9 That's a good ones. Unless they're hot.

Speaker 28 If it's a hot chick, I'm just throwing that out there.

Speaker 51 That's not totally different.

Speaker 60 That's right.

Speaker 60 A hot chick working out is

Speaker 43 what about a guy when they're like.

Speaker 37 But I'm saying a hot chick working out, I care.

Speaker 26 That's what I told Hank. Yeah.

Speaker 72 That's also the highest percentage of workout photos you'll see is attracted women.

Speaker 88 Yeah, true.

Speaker 26 And then for the last one, we're going to go soccer. No one cares about soccer.

Speaker 48 Soccer as a whole.

Speaker 56 Soccer.

Speaker 26 The sport of soccer.

Speaker 23 Soccer. Okay.

Speaker 26 I think it's going to play well nicely on the graphic.

Speaker 43 Okay. Biggest sport in the world.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 50 Memes and I just stumbled upon one that I thought was our, I realized has not been taken yet.

Speaker 23 Your golf round.

Speaker 51 Oh. Yeah.

Speaker 26 Hank vetoed that. Yeah.

Speaker 51 Did you want to say that?

Speaker 26 No, Hank made a good point, which is that golfers do care about your golf round. But like this.

Speaker 26 No one, no.

Speaker 66 No one.

Speaker 26 I care. Hank does care.

Speaker 43 But to your, it's, it is, it's, if it's someone you know and it's a course you've played,

Speaker 43 that's

Speaker 43 so

Speaker 50 specific, though. Yeah.

Speaker 43 And like if someone has a has a great round,

Speaker 112 don't care.

Speaker 43 Oh, I'm smashing the heart every time.

Speaker 88 Yeah. Dialed.

Speaker 26 I think they care to the extent that if they've also played that course, they can then be like, Yeah, well, when I was on that course, this is what I did.

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 50 But if you like see someone and they're and they're like, oh, what did you do today? They're like, oh, I golfed. I had it.
I hit a birdie on 15 to get me. I'm like, don't care.

Speaker 84 Slotted.

Speaker 66 Yeah.

Speaker 76 All right.

Speaker 2 Zach, what do we do?

Speaker 17 Because I think we can't pick the thing we wanted to pick.

Speaker 72 You don't think we can pick 21?

Speaker 77 It was a stronger pick than what they picked, but should we say it?

Speaker 72 I just think those two things are vastly different.

Speaker 36 I do.

Speaker 72 One's an organization and one is a soccer.

Speaker 10 Okay, we were going to pick the MLS

Speaker 78 specifically, but I don't know if that gets vetoed.

Speaker 32 We thought a lot of people.

Speaker 96 But a lot of people care about soccer.

Speaker 29 No one cares about the MLL.

Speaker 72 Biggest sport in the world.

Speaker 17 Not even the MLS care. Not even the players care about.

Speaker 26 No one really cares about soccer, though.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 104 Yeah, I mean, I think people do care about soccer.

Speaker 78 I think no one cares about the MLS.

Speaker 43 No one cares about soccer.

Speaker 52 I mean, there's definitely a lot of people that care about soccer.

Speaker 90 Matters care.

Speaker 37 We'll do something different.

Speaker 10 What about 13?

Speaker 61 What are you feeling about 13?

Speaker 2 That's kind of in the mood these days.

Speaker 2 Kidding up on the time.

Speaker 72 Can't hear you, Zach. I like 13.
Do you think, one quick glance at our list, do you think there's anything stronger?

Speaker 96 I think

Speaker 37 17.

Speaker 31 Yeah. Oh.

Speaker 31 9.

Speaker 51 So strong. What about 9, Zach?

Speaker 48 Stop it.

Speaker 26 It's not right, guys.

Speaker 82 23.

Speaker 5 Yeah, let's do 17.

Speaker 102 Let's rip 17. No, wait, wait.
Hold on. 13 is...

Speaker 72 You're right. 13 is good.

Speaker 124 No, I like 17. Let's go.
Let's stay strong.

Speaker 107 Don't break. Stay strong, though.

Speaker 60 But just stay strong, don't break.

Speaker 124 Stay strong, don't break. 13 is strong.
Stay strong, don't break NBA All-Star game.

Speaker 37 Do not care.

Speaker 26 Do not care at all. Fun to complain about.

Speaker 56 Yeah, but it's just, it's the do not care at all.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 84 No one cares. It's a good pick.
It's good.

Speaker 15 13 was your marathon training.

Speaker 43 I think the Pro Bowl is a stronger pick than marathon training is probably strong.

Speaker 23 I don't even think anyone watches the Pro Bowl.

Speaker 51 Yeah, but exactly.

Speaker 17 But I mean, the NBA All-Star game gets talked about, and I don't care.

Speaker 23 I forgot to talk

Speaker 50 the fact that people talk about it means that people care more about that than the picture.

Speaker 43 I'm happy you didn't pick Marathon Training. That's probably a better version of your workout pictures.

Speaker 69 Yeah.

Speaker 51 Probably.

Speaker 70 All right, so we fucked up, Zach.

Speaker 78 Fucked that up.

Speaker 50 No, we stayed up. Marathon Training is a.
Oh, Marathon Training is a good one.

Speaker 43 Great one. Great one.

Speaker 72 They're just saying that to say it.

Speaker 43 Don't let them get to you. No, I'm not.

Speaker 107 MLS would have been way better than soccer.

Speaker 24 Do you agree?

Speaker 43 Dude, no one cares about soccer. Even though

Speaker 60 I'm not sure what to do with that one always cares about things.

Speaker 51 World.

Speaker 65 Zach, do you agree?

Speaker 123 MLS would have been a great analyst.

Speaker 50 MLS is a way better pick.

Speaker 28 Name one soccer pick.

Speaker 93 Although,

Speaker 51 Chris John Rinaldo, Messi.

Speaker 86 I'll give you this. It's a better pick, but

Speaker 26 soccer looks way better. Wait a minute.

Speaker 36 What did you just say? Wait, Cole Palmer? Hold on.

Speaker 50 You just said Lionel Messi, though.

Speaker 49 Messi, also a soccer player. Yeah.

Speaker 50 Also plays for the MLS.

Speaker 23 Shit. True.
Good point.

Speaker 65 Your argument was MLS is better.

Speaker 72 Messi vacations at the MLS. His legacy was not that much.

Speaker 36 True facts.

Speaker 17 We had to fight for yourself.

Speaker 72 Picks on other grown men in the MLS.

Speaker 50 I'm on your side, but that was a bad argument.

Speaker 61 Zach had your feelings.

Speaker 29 Like, he doesn't care about other people's feelings.

Speaker 50 Memes had a couple bangers that are just.

Speaker 23 I had your day. Oh, that's a good one.

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 28 Zach also had one that I was.

Speaker 60 That's just such a meme day.

Speaker 23 It is true.

Speaker 41 It's true.

Speaker 10 Zach had movies.

Speaker 56 He doesn't care about movies.

Speaker 60 Okay.

Speaker 50 Memes had something similar. He was like the movie that you saw, but I was like, that's actually one thing I do care about.

Speaker 36 You kind of care about.

Speaker 50 Because if you saw a good movie

Speaker 50 and I respect your opinion, I will want to watch that movie.

Speaker 43 Or if I was going to go see it and it was bad.

Speaker 52 Like, I want to know about it.

Speaker 89 I won't go see it.

Speaker 81 Would the Dallas Cowboys have played on the graphic?

Speaker 26 I mean, the numbers say that people care about it. That's it.

Speaker 50 That was my

Speaker 43 numbers are irrelevant in this discussion.

Speaker 84 Good point.

Speaker 17 Some big picture ones.

Speaker 27 I had the national debt.

Speaker 26 Yeah, I had the deficit.

Speaker 35 Yeah.

Speaker 36 Don't care. Global warming, don't care.

Speaker 94 Expensive wines, don't care.

Speaker 9 SNL, just as an entity, people always complain about it.

Speaker 15 I don't care. Yeah,

Speaker 26 they complain about who's hosting.

Speaker 34 Or it's too liberal or it's too this or that.

Speaker 17 It's not funny anymore. I'm like, I don't care.

Speaker 56 I have professional boxing on the list.

Speaker 26 Ooh, I care. Professional boxing?

Speaker 26 If there's one fight a year, I will care about one fight a year, but I don't really care.

Speaker 104 A couple tough ones that I wanted to throw on there because I personally don't care, but I think a lot of people do care about it is celebrity couples and the royal family.

Speaker 23 Yeah. Don't care.
Yeah.

Speaker 102 But that is someone that like a lot of people care about.

Speaker 41 Coney

Speaker 84 12. How do we miss your diet?

Speaker 14 That would have been a strong pick.

Speaker 17 People telling you about your diet.

Speaker 88 Don't care.

Speaker 51 No, I care.

Speaker 26 Okay. No, you, Max, you don't care.

Speaker 50 No, I don't.

Speaker 26 You're in charge of my nutrition and you've done

Speaker 71 nothing.

Speaker 10 I've done how much sleep you got.

Speaker 17 Yeah. People being like, oh, I didn't get enough sleep or I got so much sleep.

Speaker 43 The one time you got really drunk in college.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I had your

Speaker 104 sports accomplishments.

Speaker 17 Like,

Speaker 120 not your kids, like you saying, oh, I hit a home run in Little League.

Speaker 52 It's like, or oh, Shane Victorina.

Speaker 43 We're college athletes.

Speaker 23 You guys are just making fun of me.

Speaker 26 Hank, put your Spotify wrapped.

Speaker 37 I feel like I care about that.

Speaker 23 Yeah, I care. Do you?

Speaker 91 I love it.

Speaker 17 Yeah, because it shows our fans, the AWLs.

Speaker 23 Wow, Hank.

Speaker 43 I'm in for music. Yeah, I guess.

Speaker 97 Hank just hates Spotify.

Speaker 68 We had Mac Lamore.

Speaker 59 Yeah.

Speaker 97 I agree with that.

Speaker 50 I had What You're Doing at Work, Don't Care.

Speaker 126 Yeah.

Speaker 50 Your business idea.

Speaker 50 Unless it's really good.

Speaker 57 Unless you're on cocaine.

Speaker 88 Then I do care.

Speaker 48 Movie script.

Speaker 43 Yeah. Mid-range game.
That was a good one, PFT.

Speaker 12 Mid-range, range game, yeah.

Speaker 3 Pictures are your food. Yeah.

Speaker 50 Don't care. Sometimes I care.
Sometimes I'm like, wow, that looks really good. Where was that?

Speaker 43 But that's good. See, that's where it's like,

Speaker 43 for people that play golf is just you for food.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 50 Everyone eats food.

Speaker 42 No, I think that's what you're saying. But no one names food.

Speaker 51 Someone who doesn't eat food.

Speaker 83 Most people are

Speaker 24 named someone who who doesn't eat food.

Speaker 65 That looks like many of people who don't go off.

Speaker 43 Most people don't care about other people's food.

Speaker 84 You're like, oh, most people eat.

Speaker 51 All people eat.

Speaker 66 Yeah. Not all people eat.

Speaker 26 All people eat. Fact.

Speaker 17 I got one that actually when we decided to do this topic, it was, I think, the first thing that popped in my head, and it doesn't probably work, but it works for me personally.

Speaker 58 I don't care about crosswalks.

Speaker 52 Okay. At all.
Big J guy? I just don't care.

Speaker 17 Like, they tell me where I got to walk.

Speaker 23 I'm going to walk where I want to walk.

Speaker 76 I don't care.

Speaker 15 Especially, like, New York City.

Speaker 51 I don't think I ever walked across.

Speaker 43 No, yeah, I'm a Jake.

Speaker 28 You're just fucking going right across the street.

Speaker 29 Just don't care.

Speaker 17 That's a, they're, they're, a soft, they're softly telling me where to walk, and I'm saying, no, I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 14 Don't care. We had Katy Perry?

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 86 Ah, I still care about her.

Speaker 26 The fish that you caught?

Speaker 56 Cannons.

Speaker 43 Fish that you caught. Yeah.
Fish that you caught.

Speaker 65 That would be tough. Fish that you caught.
That's a good one.

Speaker 26 That would have been tough while Hank is wearing a fish hat. Yeah.

Speaker 17 Don't care about washing jeans.

Speaker 43 Nope. That's a good one.
Yeah.

Speaker 82 Spam callers?

Speaker 36 Or like the people who steal. Oh, I can't do that.

Speaker 43 Oh, physical male.

Speaker 15 Physical male, do not care. That's a great answer.

Speaker 43 Should have done that.

Speaker 17 That's a great answer. The male.

Speaker 117 Your allergies?

Speaker 19 Don't care. I don't care.

Speaker 26 The Jeffrey Epstein list. Who's Jeffrey Epstein? Yeah.

Speaker 10 People are still on that.

Speaker 26 No one talks about that. People still care about that.

Speaker 51 There isn't. Moved on.
Yeah.

Speaker 37 Come on.

Speaker 22 Your pregnancy posts on Facebook.

Speaker 100 Also, your engagement posts.

Speaker 24 Those are nice.

Speaker 23 I like knowing who's knocked up.

Speaker 54 I like knowing who's knocked up.

Speaker 15 Show me when there's a baby.

Speaker 52 I want to see an actual baby.

Speaker 23 Okay, that's fair.

Speaker 26 Billboards?

Speaker 17 Yeah, yeah, you said billboards.

Speaker 26 Billboards is good.

Speaker 72 Commercials on gas pumps?

Speaker 26 Oh, yes.

Speaker 43 Don't care. Commercials and cabs.

Speaker 91 Commercials and cabs, yeah.

Speaker 81 The people who stand outside of stores that try to sell you something?

Speaker 82 Yeah. There's a ton in Chicago.
Yeah.

Speaker 26 Kickers?

Speaker 60 Ah, but that's one that matters a lot.

Speaker 123 You care a lot about them.

Speaker 17 You care a lot about him.

Speaker 108 Yeah, into your offensive lineman. Yeah.

Speaker 26 Hank said your new haircut.

Speaker 52 Yeah.

Speaker 16 I'd say that's fair.

Speaker 51 Don't really.

Speaker 43 I was just trying to think of, I was getting the mindset of like when I go on Instagram and people post acts, like, when am I like, this is the dumbest thing.

Speaker 10 Oh, your vacation.

Speaker 37 Yeah.

Speaker 32 Don't care. No.

Speaker 16 Don't care about the weather on your vacation specifically.

Speaker 39 When people come back and they're like, oh, the weather was incredible.

Speaker 6 Don't care.

Speaker 77 Your commute, do not care.

Speaker 15 Someone shares their commute, like, oh, it's terrible getting in today.

Speaker 19 It's like, all right, cool.

Speaker 50 I hope there's so many AWLs who are listening to this and they just like go and delete their entire Instagram story because they're like, fuck, nobody cares about what I just, what I, what I have just posted.

Speaker 51 It's a golf round.

Speaker 26 But there's a lot of NBA All-Star game recap. There's a lot of stuff that you do care about.
Yeah. Everybody posts, but just we all don't like when other people do it.
Correct.

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 5 But yeah, I mean, like I said, it's cool to care.

Speaker 15 This isn't an indictment on caring.

Speaker 10 This is just stuff that I think we all can agree don't really care.

Speaker 37 Yeah.

Speaker 32 Like, I well, yeah, I still post all these things.

Speaker 89 I just don't know what other people do. Yeah.

Speaker 40 But I think it's also good to have self-awareness.

Speaker 96 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 17 Like when I do say, like, oh, like, oh, my son had a double in T-Ball, I'm like, this is, I wish I could stop this story right now and not say it.

Speaker 64 Like, this is stupid. I shouldn't be sharing this.

Speaker 35 Or like when you talk about your golf round.

Speaker 17 Yeah. The national number.

Speaker 43 Well, you asked me.

Speaker 43 I do not bring it up unprompted.

Speaker 52 Well, we talk about whole recap.

Speaker 26 We talk about our days on this podcast. Yeah.

Speaker 65 And our children.

Speaker 31 It's tough to avoid.

Speaker 36 Your children is 18. 18.

Speaker 23 Memes doesn't care about your day.

Speaker 26 You just don't. I like that, memes.

Speaker 102 That's brutal honesty.

Speaker 26 Memes only cares about hate.

Speaker 102 Yeah. And memes.

Speaker 68 And memes.

Speaker 21 And memes, yeah.

Speaker 21 Okay.

Speaker 12 Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest, two-time World Series champion, champion, the flying Hawaiian, Shane Victorino.

Speaker 32 I'll start with a really stupid question.

Speaker 13 How much better does two-time World Series champion sound than one-time?

Speaker 15 That's got to be like, because you got the second at the end of your career. That's nice that people always have to introduce you as two-time World Series champion.

Speaker 101 It's nice to get one, but you're right.

Speaker 130 To get two, it's absolutely amazing.

Speaker 130 I mean, to hear it, you know, I always told people growing up, just to, you know, tell yourself that to be a one-time World Champion was good enough, but to be two, it's pretty fun.

Speaker 30 Do you ever bust out the rings?

Speaker 41 Never. Why?

Speaker 130 Because I honestly tell you, if I got to wear my ring, then I didn't do enough on a baseball field.

Speaker 51 What do you mean?

Speaker 97 Meaning, like, you are the ring.

Speaker 135 Yeah, I mean, I gotta tell myself, like, if I have to, and not a negative win, and I always tell people it's a, it's, it's more of a, I call it the fact that if

Speaker 130 you understand that I was a World Series champion, I was a big part of, you know, those championships that hopefully I won't have to wear my ring to show my, you know, kind of a thing.

Speaker 71 But you're right, as far as where everywhere I go and everybody hears that, everybody wants to see them, everybody wants to touch them.

Speaker 137 And I'm like, the question is, do you have where I'm like, honestly, I don't really like to.

Speaker 119 And again, I don't want to attract the attention.

Speaker 94 I mean, honestly, thinking about me walking in a room anywhere I go with a big old fat ring everybody's gonna be like

Speaker 121 yeah you know I don't know if you if you never won one then you say I would wear that all the time yeah and then you I guess I'm being a little you know I think this is the difference between like athletes and regular guys because I dream of like any championship ring I would wear it all the time.

Speaker 26 Yeah, I think we got a championship ring for our lacrosse team that we own.

Speaker 71 And we wear that all the time.

Speaker 80 Actually, of course.

Speaker 24 Do you know where your rings are?

Speaker 139 I do know. Okay.

Speaker 130 They're definitely tucked away nicely.

Speaker 15 Because maybe you should say you don't know. That would even be worse.

Speaker 80 That'd be more for you.

Speaker 51 Yeah, right.

Speaker 23 I sold them. Don't worry.

Speaker 24 I told them like,

Speaker 107 I don't know where they are.

Speaker 58 Like, I can't find them.

Speaker 17 I got so many trophies.

Speaker 126 Yeah, it's sad to see when you do hear people selling them, like you said.

Speaker 52 I know.

Speaker 26 You said before we started taping, you were very lucky. You got to play in two great sports towns.
So, what is the better sports town?

Speaker 51 Philly or Anaheim?

Speaker 140 You tell me. No,

Speaker 130 I tell people it's it's two unbelievable fan bases that have a love and a passion for their sports.

Speaker 130 And well, I separate the two and how I separate the two is, you know, and then there are two different championships. One, like you said, was early in my career.

Speaker 73 I was a young kid.

Speaker 130 Later on, I was at the back end.

Speaker 117 But what separates the two for me was I.

Speaker 101 There's not many championships in the city of Philadelphia. And people don't realize that.

Speaker 136 And people don't talk about that all the time. People think that Philadelphia, there's, you know, a plethora of

Speaker 137 trophies or championships in that city.

Speaker 130 So I take that a little bit more on that side because there's not many.

Speaker 136 Like the game of baseball, you know, we lost over 10,000 games.

Speaker 103 I remember I was a part of it.

Speaker 136 It's still there.

Speaker 46 And you look and go, 10,000 games?

Speaker 143 We've been around forever. There was one championship.

Speaker 144 And then we became the second. So like those kind of things are what makes, I think, Philadelphia a little bit more.

Speaker 136 I mean, you think about it.

Speaker 130 Tom Brady won what?

Speaker 101 Seven.

Speaker 87 And then you got the Celtics have won.

Speaker 141 And then, you know, they won in four, seven.

Speaker 133 We won in 13, 18.

Speaker 147 I mean, that's a lot of championships in just the last 20 years I mean, in a city.

Speaker 126 So I always tell people that's what makes Philadelphia to me a little bit more special.

Speaker 130 But, I mean, as far as going back to the fan bases, man, to win in those kind of cities,

Speaker 51 special.

Speaker 26 I think with Philly, it's that they let you know when they win one. So, yeah, they've got a handful of ranks, right? But they let you know for years and years, like, hey, you remember that team?

Speaker 26 It kind of becomes more of a focus, more, more like a.

Speaker 31 Well, because you don't have many.

Speaker 117 That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 103 It's hard to go and say in Boston, well, oh, shit, Brady's got seven.

Speaker 130 You know, the Celtics got how many in each sport.

Speaker 45 So that's what I think.

Speaker 126 That's, again, going back to that, touching that point, is that that's what is

Speaker 142 where I feel like they come egotistic about it because they don't have many.

Speaker 79 If you do have a lot, you act a little differently.

Speaker 117 I'm not saying you call it, take it for granted, but if you know that in every major sport, you got a chance to win a championship in the city of Boston.

Speaker 141 It's pretty different, you know?

Speaker 15 Is it, have you gone back to both cities and can you feel the difference?

Speaker 6 Like in that Philly, you know, they're like, there's Shane Victorino.

Speaker 109 I spent eight years there and I spent two and a half in Boston.

Speaker 117 So that's another thing I tell people like, so in regards to that, yes.

Speaker 132 And then, you know, Boston was what made Boston special was the fact that the bombings and the magnitude of what had happened at the beginning of the year and how we were able to transcend that, like, the city and bring the joy and the pride.

Speaker 87 That was what was cool about, you know, I get to touch on it, that second championship was that big factor.

Speaker 152 So, I mean, but as I said, both great, unbelievable fan base.

Speaker 26 This is our fucking thing.

Speaker 88 That was exactly what I think.

Speaker 47 That was poppy.

Speaker 26 Can you answer your question? Because I've always wondered this about David Ortiz. Whenever he'd hit a triple, it'd be like once every two years, you'd get really excited for some reason.

Speaker 26 Do you know why he would get so excited about hitting a triple?

Speaker 126 Because it was always about his speed, bro.

Speaker 101 You know,

Speaker 148 he wasn't very fast, so to be able to go from first to third.

Speaker 117 It's a big moment. A lot of times, if he's hitting it that far, it's usually in the seat, so he doesn't, you know.

Speaker 101 But

Speaker 26 maybe there's something else that he got excited about.

Speaker 131 Oh, maybe I didn't know that one.

Speaker 26 Maybe a little secret deal at

Speaker 68 home, yeah.

Speaker 68 You get a triple.

Speaker 51 Oh, wow, man.

Speaker 65 I didn't know that.

Speaker 74 Well, damn, man.

Speaker 103 Good for him.

Speaker 14 Wait, speaking of speed, you ran a 4-3 in high school? I did.

Speaker 139 I was pretty fast.

Speaker 1 That's That's wide receiver speed.

Speaker 153 That's insane.

Speaker 130 But I also was 5'9 and 150 pounds.

Speaker 60 Yeah, but that's insane speed.

Speaker 134 No, I had, I mean, but again, at the end of the day, that was my game in the Big Leagues.

Speaker 101 You know, I tell people I wasn't a baseball player.

Speaker 130 Like, I had God-given speed through all the sports that I played through growing up, and that was my 1-2.

Speaker 151 And then even in baseball, that became the, you know, the tool that carried me through the sport.

Speaker 57 But, yeah, I mean, could I have.

Speaker 74 I mean, I loved.

Speaker 101 I thought I was going to be the next, you know, I love soccer.

Speaker 137 I don't know if you guys knew that, but soccer was my favorite sport.

Speaker 130 I thought I was going to be the next Pele. and you know, being as fast as I was, it was so much fun playing soccer.

Speaker 139 Just running by everyone.

Speaker 57 You want to go over there?

Speaker 29 I want to push it five feet, and I'm going to run by you.

Speaker 134 And it was cool.

Speaker 12 But so, so, rank your sports, what you were best at.

Speaker 104 Obviously, baseball.

Speaker 139 Soccer was my best.

Speaker 48 Okay, soccer was your best one.

Speaker 97 Soccer was my number one. Such an awesome flag.

Speaker 103 Soccer number was number one.

Speaker 67 And like I said, I wanted to be Pele.

Speaker 101 I grew up wanting to be like Pele.

Speaker 87 I wanted to be set out.

Speaker 120 But at 99, you know, there was really nothing.

Speaker 131 And my dad was like, well, you can go overseas.

Speaker 133 I was like, I don't want to go overseas.

Speaker 92 You know, football, my dad was like, you're 5'9.

Speaker 152 So that was became my second sport because I wanted, I finally got to play it, put on the helmets, the flex, you can't catch me.

Speaker 117 It's like how to, you know,

Speaker 130 cat a mouse on a football field.

Speaker 92 So I love football.

Speaker 87 And then baseball was like the fourth because it was the hardest.

Speaker 28 So it was three.

Speaker 46 Three was track.

Speaker 51 Wait, was baseball your worst sport? Worst. Well, it wasn't the worst.

Speaker 71 It was the hardest.

Speaker 117 So I didn't like it. But again, having a father that sat me down my senior year and goes, okay, son, you're small.

Speaker 133 Soccer's not an option. You don't want to run for a living.

Speaker 130 Well, if you get drafted, maybe baseball becomes, you know, maybe it's an opportunity there.

Speaker 57 Yeah.

Speaker 151 and that's how it played out honestly that's baseball's hard i mean we were touching upon it earlier you know before we got him on it's like baseball is the hardest thing to do in the world i i mean i don't care golf's hard listen you can play golf an 80-year-old man can play golf a 70 year old kick him but if i tell you know hey let's go down to the park and let me throw a 70 mile an hour 80 mile an hour fastball at you i was gonna throw the first one at your head that's part of the game so and you'll never want to step back in so that's the hardest so that's why i didn't play it growing up you know like i mean i played it but it wasn't like yeah i want to go play baseball every day that's crazy crazy.

Speaker 6 What would do you remember like your worst slump in the big leagues and what you did to get out of it? Because you're right.

Speaker 2 Like the baseball, and we've talked to a lot of baseball players, the fact that you could fail for like two weeks at a sport and still be a good, you know what I mean?

Speaker 65 And be happy body when you come. Yeah, it's still be a really good.

Speaker 121 And then you hit three hits on the, you know, after 14 days, you're like, I'm back.

Speaker 65 I'm good.

Speaker 150 I think some of my toughest slumps was all out of it was mental too.

Speaker 147 It's just, you said, it's such a grind.

Speaker 110 So not only are you physically not able to achieve some of the goals, but you're just mentally grinding through it.

Speaker 87 So, I mean, I remember a lot of our coaches, which having great of them, you know, great coaches was a lot of them would sit me for a day and just tell me, like, you're not playing tonight.

Speaker 154 Don't even do nothing.

Speaker 144 Go sit inside.

Speaker 135 You know, I might need you in the eighth or ninth if the game comes up.

Speaker 110 And then the next day you come out and you just, it's almost like a re-register.

Speaker 152 It wasn't like this big, you know.

Speaker 103 I mean, baseball's hard, as I said.

Speaker 130 When you go through those things, it's such a, I tell people the mental side of what makes baseball hard is that, like you said, you go, I can go three weeks without being successful at all.

Speaker 151 You'd be doing that you know would you be happy with that at your driver no chance right you doing a radio station if you're right if you did a bad show for two weeks you're off you're off you're fired so that's what like you said what's crazy about baseball yeah so yeah what uh so back to your high school days you got an offer to play for june jones at hawaii i did to kick i did to kick do you did you ever consider that i did well i that was an option i mean that was the second option and the reason that that was actually the heavily weighed option was i had a mom right who looked at me and said you're never gonna be a big leaguer it's not a reality you going to college getting a diploma or getting an education getting you know and and and going on into life that's your chance right so that was the biggest challenge and at the end of it it was literally on the table and it was the day i got drafted i had a partial scholarship nothing more than that it's crazy when people you know ask me like oh you were probably sought after i go i said i had a partial scholarship to go to the university of hawaii to play baseball the day i get drafted I get offered by June Jones a full ride because a kicker scholarship came over and I was a soccer player.

Speaker 134 So this is how it all turns into.

Speaker 47 I became and he offered me that and I took it and I was totally gun whole till I realized that I didn't want to go to school.

Speaker 65 By the way, that's a completely fair thing to do, by the way.

Speaker 26 You're the Steve Jobs of sports.

Speaker 41 Yeah.

Speaker 15 But also aside there, and this is going to sound obviously like a tourist, but the way you said Hawaii was awesome.

Speaker 13 No, thank you.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 15 I mean, that's, I mean, how cool is I've been to Hawaii Hawaii once.

Speaker 29 It's, it's magical.

Speaker 58 Like growing up there, what was it like growing up there?

Speaker 29 You grow up in paradise.

Speaker 137 You didn't know any better. Yeah.

Speaker 144 I mean, it's like I tell people anywhere, you know, you're from.

Speaker 154 I mean, there's always something special about your place.

Speaker 155 Yes, Hawaii is different.

Speaker 137 It's this magical place that everybody.

Speaker 143 But when I was growing up, I just, it was my backyard.

Speaker 128 When did you start surfing?

Speaker 122 I never did. What?

Speaker 130 Well, you're going to find out.

Speaker 139 I knew that was going to caught you.

Speaker 71 Yes.

Speaker 51 So.

Speaker 132 I think early on in my life, I boogieboarded, I dove, I did all the fishing, I did all the oceans, but I just never got into surfing.

Speaker 57 and then I think there was a couple times though like my friends and I talk now that when I was boogie boarding as a young kid I really wasn't good at it and I got waffled and I didn't have a love for the ocean and I was always terrified and I never really found and then the second part is honestly I was playing a lot of my sports on land and that my mom and dad would always say like you can't

Speaker 138 you got soccer practice you got baseball where my buddies would be like peace out surfs up i'm gone you know and they would go and i always had that you know so i never really fell in love with it i always respected those guys did you have you ever thought about as an adult like trying it trying no i'm way past that in life i would be a good video you know what's funny i've had some of the greatest conversation with those guys and they all asked me how do you stand there in a batter's box and try to hit a baseball i go right how do you stand there and run on a hundred foot wave behind you and you think you're so cool and i was like

Speaker 126 there's a different wavelength here so my point is just crazy how people look at baseball but i look at surfing as that kind of like it's this i look at them as legendary because i always thought it was hard i mean to go out there you know, as I said, growing up fighting currents all your life, swimming in the ocean with your friends, it's not, it's not a normal playground.

Speaker 138 Yeah.

Speaker 6 You know, I went, when I went to Hawaii, I took, I went surfing once and I thought I was like nailing it.

Speaker 29 And then I looked back and the instructor was pushing my board.

Speaker 78 And I was like, well, this.

Speaker 113 It feels good, though, to stand up.

Speaker 51 Well, to do it all, yeah, you feel in a great spot.

Speaker 135 I mean, I can picture myself getting in a barrel and riding that.

Speaker 137 I can picture it, but I don't think it ever is.

Speaker 80 Yeah. Well,

Speaker 74 I think I got to overcome the biggest fear of

Speaker 92 of the ocean.

Speaker 63 Like

Speaker 51 the power of the ocean.

Speaker 117 It's not even just the, you know, what's in the water.

Speaker 117 It's just the respect and the, you know, what I had for what I call, you know, experiences probably as a youth in Mother Nature and going, this is not for me.

Speaker 26 Did you travel as a kid or were you mostly there?

Speaker 92 No, mostly stayed there.

Speaker 117 Yeah.

Speaker 57 I didn't leave much.

Speaker 26 When was the first time you saw snow?

Speaker 136 Well, lucky enough, as a kid, our highest mountaintop, it snowed.

Speaker 151 So I got to go out there as a kid and go visit and see what we called snow.

Speaker 57 It was like you're looking out now at the top of Tahoe and you see that white cap up there.

Speaker 126 That's what I considered my snow.

Speaker 117 So as a kid, there was a few times it snowed at our Thai's peak.

Speaker 97 But if you want to talk about a real like cold, a cold equatable was probably my years in the Meyer League.

Speaker 146 I think I ended up in, I was in Scranton, Wilkesbury.

Speaker 110 And I remember one of the first times we were in Buffalo, New York, and it was...

Speaker 122 you know, April.

Speaker 147 It was got to have been 20 degrees.

Speaker 57 The wind was blowing that day.

Speaker 67 And I remember sitting next to the heater in the dugout.

Speaker 114 One of my teammates go, what's going on?

Speaker 117 And you'll go, bro, I've never been this cold in my life.

Speaker 114 So that was kind of my first run of really experiencing the snow.

Speaker 86 That would make you homesick real fast.

Speaker 65 Oh, real fast.

Speaker 67 I actually realized, like, why am I playing baseball? Yeah.

Speaker 69 Why do people live here?

Speaker 74 It was so cold. You're right.

Speaker 41 Yeah.

Speaker 12 Who's your favorite teammate from all your stops in Major League Baseball and why?

Speaker 136 I would have to say Jimmy Rollins.

Speaker 126 Okay.

Speaker 151 You know, he was a big, he was like a big brother to me.

Speaker 133 He took me in as a rookie.

Speaker 132 You know, we've just, he was a guy that I always wanted to, you know, idolize when I was playing. You know, we always had our,

Speaker 130 like you said, your little internal lacrosse teams and all that stuff, or your teams that you have.

Speaker 140 We always had internal best to make ourselves better.

Speaker 130 So when I look back on my career, having a guy that pushed me like that, you know, through all those years, I mean, he was the one teammate that I would say would, you know, I mean, he was in my wedding.

Speaker 142 That tells you that.

Speaker 51 Yeah, yeah. Also a very cool guy.

Speaker 24 Yeah.

Speaker 138 Awesome, bro. He's great.
He's awesome.

Speaker 24 Yeah.

Speaker 26 Fun to watch play. We should also, we should give you credit.
I think you're the only player to ever win two World Series for two different teams and hit a home run for the Savannah Bananas.

Speaker 139 I didn't hit a home run.

Speaker 24 You played for the bananas?

Speaker 57 But I hit a double in the gap. I thought it was a home run.
It wasn't. It was a double in the gap.

Speaker 74 It looked like it looked good, but it was a double in the gap.

Speaker 135 And it ended up scoring the winning run in that inning.

Speaker 26 So, how'd they get you to go out there and play? I don't know.

Speaker 45 I just thought, you know what's funny?

Speaker 110 Honest to truth, is

Speaker 130 my son wanted to get tickets to watch the Savannah Bananas in Las Vegas, and I tried through through every avenue I could possibly,

Speaker 152 and I got denied.

Speaker 149 And I was like, what is this? Yeah.

Speaker 17 What is this?

Speaker 120 And lo and behold, I said, you know what?

Speaker 151 I think it was Jake Peavy or Johnny or somebody said, dude, go play with them.

Speaker 117 They would love to. And I was like,

Speaker 117 I'll text the guy, but I don't know if I want to play.

Speaker 153 So moral of the story is, that's how I got in tune with the Savannah Bananas.

Speaker 117 Tell myself that I had to go play for them so my kids could go watch a savannah banana games in las vegas is you know so being around them is it true i've heard that the bananas are just swimming in pussy

Speaker 52 is that true put it this way

Speaker 65 my wife was more excited at the end of the game to watch all of them jump in the pool in las vegas

Speaker 65 versus you're right so yes even you know some

Speaker 148 say well what man i got to go back to being 26 with abs babe like you know like but it was fun and then that and it is it is crazy the phenomenon of the family aspect the women that love it not just the you know the kids I mean it's these moms that are out there They're so excited to be there.

Speaker 56 It's awesome It is the crazy I think it's in their contract They're like we'll pay you this and then also pussy I also want to know what whatever they're doing they're doing it right.

Speaker 65 They're not they're nailing it. You know, they're having fun.

Speaker 74 But unfortunately the older guys can't have that luxury of it.

Speaker 51 Yeah, we do. So we joined that.

Speaker 152 Doesn't come in my contract.

Speaker 35 You mentioned your abs.

Speaker 29 What was the off-season you sent a picture of your abs to your manager like every day?

Speaker 102 Is that true?

Speaker 33 No way.

Speaker 101 I would never do that. Yeah, you did.

Speaker 44 No. Not once?

Speaker 48 Did you send it?

Speaker 67 I might have said one to John Farrell, I think, or somewhere.

Speaker 75 Okay, so that's literally true.

Speaker 55 They were talking about it, and I said, you know what, I'm going to flex on his ass.

Speaker 59 But I think it was.

Speaker 29 Was it sick to have abs?

Speaker 51 No, I never really had them. That was the point.

Speaker 135 I think it was more like, it's getting better, but I never had abs in my life.

Speaker 46 No.

Speaker 6 All right, so you also had two postseason Grand Slams.

Speaker 12 How often do you watch those back?

Speaker 130 I think my brother watches them way more than me, so when he's watching it, I end up watching it.

Speaker 137 But yeah, I mean, they're great moments.

Speaker 57 I think that.

Speaker 29 I would watch it every day if I were you.

Speaker 35 I would.

Speaker 119 No, I get it.

Speaker 135 I definitely watch it when I need that, you know, that, that, that, that reminder of how lucky I was and how blessed I was.

Speaker 140 Yeah.

Speaker 67 And when I say it that way, it's like, you know, when there's times where you're like, man, oh, it's, you know,

Speaker 140 it's not there anymore, or it's not there. You go like, bro, look at how lucky you were.

Speaker 138 At the end of the day, like, stop.

Speaker 152 You know, it's not that bad or whatever it is.

Speaker 141 Like, look at how lucky you are, you know?

Speaker 55 And like I said, always the thing about, you know, when I think about it at the end of the day, how many baseball players i ever walked on this earth i'm you know i got to play 10 years in the big leagues that's even a smaller percentage so it's like man how lucky you know so that moment both those moments is that the highest high coming back to the dugout like being like oh i mean a grand slam in the postseason that that just has to be off the charts like you can't you can't replicate that feeling

Speaker 45 i mean from an individual standpoint yes i mean from that moment where it's like yes the whole world's on you correct but winning two world series yeah you know higher running in i mean like but yes from an individual standpoint yeah there's nothing like it you're floating in yeah yeah i tell people all the time it's like i mean like they're like how loud is that i was like truthfully man it's actually you it's almost like quiet in your in your mind you know and you're just

Speaker 135 like i i i it's almost like yeah you you you tell yourself as it happens like i mean when i hit that grand slam you know and i jumped around the bases in boston and i pounded my chest it's like

Speaker 140 I literally went back to like my childhood days.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 5 That's every childhood dream thing.

Speaker 142 And I'm playing in my backyard, I go like, bro, this shit is real, bro.

Speaker 110 Like, this is, I'm jogging around this basis, bro. Like, this is.

Speaker 55 And so, like, that's what makes those moments that you said cool.

Speaker 147 Like, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 154 I mean, there's, there's no other greater feeling other than having your child be born and be healthy.

Speaker 151 And, you know, but beyond that.

Speaker 74 Or yeah.

Speaker 105 Being a savannah banana and getting all the pulse.

Speaker 51 Or getting whatever they want.

Speaker 125 Yes.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 48 That's awesome.

Speaker 65 Yeah.

Speaker 26 It does seem pretty incredible. So you talked about the pile a second ago.
The pile at the end of World Series. Were you at the bottom of the pile?

Speaker 101 I was always at the end because I was in Alfield.

Speaker 130 So I got to, I got, and in fact, one of the, you know, one of, I call one of the most iconic, you know, I think Philly's pictures, the pile that we have.

Speaker 130 And I was lucky enough, I'm kind of airborne and I'm landing on it.

Speaker 26 Yeah, so the guys at the bottom of the pile.

Speaker 128 Oh, they're getting it.

Speaker 26 I feel like it's a great idea when you start the pile. Oh, no.
And then after like two seconds.

Speaker 65 I don't want to be under.

Speaker 139 I'm claustrophobic. So I'd panic like heck.
I guarantee that.

Speaker 109 So I'm glad I was always the

Speaker 101 outfielder taking my time on the way in.

Speaker 29 That Phillies World Series, you won, what was it?

Speaker 3 Was it three days of rain?

Speaker 149 It was a day and a half. A day and a half.

Speaker 40 How much did that screw up?

Speaker 15 Like, because you guys got to just be like, get us out there.

Speaker 37 Like, we did, we were ready.

Speaker 110 It was definitely something different to actually stop a game mid-game. Right.

Speaker 142 Especially at that moment.

Speaker 101 Like, you know, but I mean, ultimately, there's no way we could have won.

Speaker 74 Yeah.

Speaker 135 You know, the way, and I would have felt bad winning a World Series.

Speaker 51 Yeah, really.

Speaker 67 If it rained out four and a half or five and a half, you know, five-in-game, which was legit at the time.

Speaker 132 You know, but I, I, it was definitely, you wanted it so badly because you felt it at your fingertips, you know.

Speaker 130 But it was almost to the point where it's like, okay, relax.

Speaker 132 Like, let it happen. Let it all.

Speaker 139 Because again, just as fast as momentum shifts, you know, shit like that can shift it back in every guard and we'll go back the opposite direction.

Speaker 57 But I mean, being at home helped.

Speaker 130 You know, being in the city of Philadelphia, knowing that, literally, I remember actually that when you talk about that moment, I remember walking out on what I call game five and a half, and the second we stepped out of the dugout, it was 42,000 electric fans in Philadelphia.

Speaker 74 So it was like, oh, it's back in you. You know, the energy was right back in you.

Speaker 51 Right. Right.

Speaker 26 What was it like going going back to Hawaii after winning a World Series?

Speaker 51 Was it different? Yeah. I mean,

Speaker 126 there's not many of us that have, you know, have the opportunity to do that. So, yeah, it was definitely a big moment.

Speaker 139 I think for me, I think it was cool because

Speaker 92 it brought what I call

Speaker 147 a different sport

Speaker 147 to the forefront.

Speaker 151 You know, not saying that baseball is massive back home, especially at the U-level, but there was never really one that someone that said it and brought it.

Speaker 117 You know, I mean, there were successful big leagues, but not not that world series you know like and especially in today's era like there's so much more and so much where kids can learn from someone like you know something like that where back in the day if they did win it it was you know where it really wasn't talked about there's not much to look at but to know that i can go back home and try what i call transcend where the game and the kids think and how they think of the game.

Speaker 126 I mean, Lehiva Aloy, the kid that just won the Golden Spikes, you know, best college player of the year.

Speaker 143 He grew up in my little hometown.

Speaker 136 If you had told me that 50 years ago or however many years ago, that there would be the best college baseball player that grew up in my little hometown in the little island of Maui, I would have told you, kick rocks, no chance.

Speaker 145 Did

Speaker 26 two Hawaiian guys on the team, right?

Speaker 92 Arkansas, yeah, it was the two brothers, their brothers, Cojio and Bohivo.

Speaker 45 Yeah, and I've known them since they were this big, but it's like when you think about that kind of stuff, when you think about, you know, like, here it is, this is that moment.

Speaker 152 Like, this kid's now a reality because someone like me showed them that they can do it.

Speaker 6 Do you, do you feel like it's kind of not

Speaker 78 mean, but the flying Hawaiians is like one of the best nicknames ever and no one else can have it now.

Speaker 47 Like you took that.

Speaker 74 Like we could have a Hawaiian

Speaker 60 player.

Speaker 47 No, you can't.

Speaker 4 That's such a great nickname.

Speaker 114 When did you first get that nickname?

Speaker 151 So it was actually a New York Mets game in New York.

Speaker 110 I made a diving catch in left center and the announcer said it.

Speaker 57 I don't know if it was Ron Darling or Kira.

Speaker 67 One of them said it.

Speaker 139 They're brought in the Mets broadcaster and then it stuck.

Speaker 126 It was just like that.

Speaker 149 Yeah. And then it became the nickname.

Speaker 67 Yeah.

Speaker 26 How long was it for you to hear that nickname after the game? Because they're doing the TV broadcast, right?

Speaker 152 I forget who brought it up.

Speaker 135 I don't know.

Speaker 117 And I think they showed the replay of the, you know, they kept showing it because it was a great diving catch.

Speaker 139 And then the more and more people showed the replay, the part of the broadcast, and you know, I guess he, I think he said it or something like that.

Speaker 134 Like the flying Hawaiian makes this unbelievable catch. And then it was like, yeah, there it is.

Speaker 78 Yeah.

Speaker 26 I read an article that you, uh, your parents had to take you to the emergency room something like 20 times before you were eight.

Speaker 85 Is that is that is that a fair estimate?

Speaker 117 It was it was a fair estimate. It was very close.

Speaker 110 It was 10 times before the age of five.

Speaker 51 Okay. Gosh.
That's a lot.

Speaker 42 What were you doing?

Speaker 101 Just reckless abandon, man. I was just, I fell off a bike.
You know,

Speaker 126 tire spoke in my ear at the end of the end of the cul-de-sac, hit the curb, going full speed,

Speaker 35 you know,

Speaker 73 spoke in the ear,

Speaker 57 hanging out with my brother, dump on the bunk.

Speaker 117 Oh, it's down there.

Speaker 150 I jump off the top, hit the screw on the side of the bed.

Speaker 103 I mean, got hit by a moving car, fell out out of the moving car.

Speaker 47 That was a little bit older in life.

Speaker 28 Those are two that are not.

Speaker 65 Like, oh, I got hit by a moving car.

Speaker 24 Fell out of a moving car.

Speaker 26 When we say moving, are we like technically moving?

Speaker 139 No, this one was technically making, so the fell in all of the car was with my auntie and uncle, my auntie Valerie, and the old car, you know, sat on the door side back then.

Speaker 148 You could, you know, four deep across the front, three in the back, little island.

Speaker 98 Cruising down the road in hometown, the door falls open.

Speaker 126 Little Shane's on the side of where the door falls open, and he goes rolling out.

Speaker 74 I mean, he's going, you know, making a left turn, not going 50 miles an hour, but you know, he's going 10 miles, you know, whatever.

Speaker 122 So that was when I fell out of the car.

Speaker 73 Getting hit by the car was, I was at my brother's with my brother, who was my, again, one of my idols.

Speaker 130 He was four and a half years older than me.

Speaker 148 So they're all with their friends were big in a bike, BMX.

Speaker 136 They all go to the friend's house. I go and hang out with their brothers.

Speaker 151 They're all watching the movie.

Speaker 101 They're doing their thing. I go out front, take the bike to my grandma's house, basically to steal the bike from the brothers.

Speaker 122 I go down.

Speaker 130 I'm trying to get back to where they are.

Speaker 17 Two-lane road.

Speaker 110 Cars parked on each side.

Speaker 126 You know, a little 12-year-old pops his head out.

Speaker 150 No car.

Speaker 139 Old lady's coming by, 30 miles an hour, hits me.

Speaker 45 She said, I go flying 20 yards.

Speaker 151 You know, I get back up.

Speaker 122 But, you know, again, I'm 12 years old.

Speaker 148 So everything's still.

Speaker 139 She said, I literally was trying to run back to the bike and grab it because I was so scared.

Speaker 137 Yeah.

Speaker 73 Because I wasn't getting my ass beat by my brother, my dad, my parents, my grandpa, and everybody else.

Speaker 117 And not only that, his friends, because now this bike's mangled.

Speaker 151 I'm more in panic mode.

Speaker 126 I think I was just in shock.

Speaker 114 So, of course, this lady grabs me.

Speaker 120 she's like you can't go nowhere i just hit you on the car you know i just hit you my car like you got to stay here of course now adrenaline comes down now it's like the the pain starts kicking in and the crying starts happening but i'm alive first and foremost but the lady i remember share hearing her tell my parents because i was what 12 13 so i still remember hearing it she was oh my god i hit your son you know i wasn't going fast but i was going 30.

Speaker 17 i mean it was you know going on 30 sprang yeah and he came out of nowhere you know he was in between the cars and he came out of nowhere and i hit him and he flew 20 yards in the air and he rolled he ran back to the bike she was trying to explain to my parents, and I was like, and then, like I said, it was just, you know, God bless, I guess, at the end of it.

Speaker 26 Does she know that she hit you?

Speaker 117 Like, not back then, she didn't hit you.

Speaker 26 Now, does she know?

Speaker 51 No, she was an older lady.

Speaker 152 She long passed before I became something.

Speaker 126 You know,

Speaker 153 when you look back on that kind of stuff, but yes, how the hell was I lucky, you know, to survive all.

Speaker 6 But you're, you're, you just described two, like, kind of traumatic, like, bad moments, like your worst moments. And they're significantly cooler and more badass than anything anything I've ever done.

Speaker 125 Like,

Speaker 65 I don't why I don't wish I got hit by a car, but like to me, I didn't wish either, but casually throughout, you got hit by a car and fell out of a car.

Speaker 155 Well, because I'm here now, you know, and I look back on the story, I wouldn't be a little different if it, you know, traumatized me in the end.

Speaker 5 Yeah, so you, you had, you have ADHD.

Speaker 29 You, when did, when were you diagnosed with it? Because that's old.

Speaker 121 Yeah, back then, it wasn't something that was impressive.

Speaker 130 It was actually, no, and then that was so the other side to that story is at that age, I was basically, you can tell, aggro and just wild.

Speaker 130 I had to leave a preschool at some point, you know, because of my, you know, ADHD.

Speaker 57 And it was fine. I mean, but these are all these moments when I look back on life.

Speaker 134 It's like what I also realized that that's just part of, and I was born with it.

Speaker 51 It wasn't like I went through the streets and, oh, let me go do this.

Speaker 140 And then it happens in my life.

Speaker 57 So, yes, at a young age, it was always like, man, I was always in trouble because I was always hyper, you know, active and I was all over the place.

Speaker 130 But then, you know, as I, you know, learned through life, like there was positives to a lot of that, you know, that good energy, that high energy stuff.

Speaker 101 But, you know, as a kid, people don't know how to control it, you know.

Speaker 141 But, you know,

Speaker 26 it sounds like they kept you really busy after that. Like,

Speaker 56 you played every sport, every sport.

Speaker 57 That was it. They get me out of my house.

Speaker 26 And you're an Eagle Scout, right?

Speaker 26 So that's that's like a lot of time that you're just spent doing

Speaker 26 structured activities, right?

Speaker 109 And that was what was important for me, was to have that in my life.

Speaker 138 Yeah.

Speaker 11 At what age do you think Shane Victorino could beat us up?

Speaker 6 I'm thinking it's like seven.

Speaker 83 Like, hearing me story, bro.

Speaker 51 Like, no, but hearing how crazy you were. Like, I, I, I was

Speaker 134 crazy.

Speaker 144 Yeah, I was crazy and I was tough, but to a degree of what I needed to be.

Speaker 157 You know what I mean?

Speaker 45 And then I was also reckless around my friends.

Speaker 110 I wanted to be the guy to show my friends, like, bro,

Speaker 117 don't be fearless.

Speaker 157 Like, you know, there might be not the right outcome, but...

Speaker 78 go do it. Except the ocean.
The ocean.

Speaker 53 Well, no, that's a different thing.

Speaker 57 You're kind of a wimp for that.

Speaker 103 I'm a very much good wimp for that.

Speaker 71 I'm actually way tough for you. I'll be the first to say that.

Speaker 121 When it comes to water, Andreeno ever tries to fight you, just run into the ocean.

Speaker 90 It's like bees.

Speaker 156 Stay close to the shore. I got you.

Speaker 47 Go far out.

Speaker 24 I'll leave you alone

Speaker 44 oh man um all right so the like playing baseball the grind of baseball this might be a dumb question but you're in the outfield were there moments where you like almost like when you're driving on the highway and you forget that you've been driving were there moments where you're like oh shit i haven't been paying attention for a while here i thought you wanted the greatest moments my wife we were in seattle and she told me that night after a game because Seattle, there are seagulls.

Speaker 120 Yeah. And so, you know, I'm standing out in the middle of the grass.

Speaker 119 All of a sudden, you see shadows.

Speaker 156 What's going gonna what's what are you gonna do?

Speaker 139 You're gonna look up right if you're in the middle of a grass patch and all of a sudden there's a bunch of shadows over your head So literally I she said she goes honey.

Speaker 55 I'm watching them pitch and you're literally in center field looking at the seagull above your head and I was like well babe what am I supposed to do?

Speaker 114 I mean like if you're out in the middle of a grass patch and all of a sudden you see shadows over your head you're gonna look up.

Speaker 130 So yes, there are moments where there's things and objects that came into the play where yes, I did find myself I also did get thrown out from center field.

Speaker 130 So that's also one of the greatest things that I've ever done.

Speaker 51 Wait, what did you do?

Speaker 103 I got thrown out from center field. Wow.

Speaker 120 My greatest moments.

Speaker 74 Ed Rapawana was at home.

Speaker 119 He called Ryan Howard on a strike.

Speaker 126 And then I went out to center field and I watched from center field.

Speaker 110 And he didn't call a strike on their guy.

Speaker 57 And I threw my hands up in there.

Speaker 138 And I was squaring at him.

Speaker 148 And he saw me. And you got thrown out.

Speaker 51 He threw you out.

Speaker 24 And he tossed me for arguing balls and strikes.

Speaker 139 But unfortunately, I felt bad for him because it cost him the playoffs.

Speaker 63 Oh.

Speaker 26 I mean, but that's...

Speaker 83 Yeah, but I'm like, why?

Speaker 24 Why is he the only guy to ever do that?

Speaker 155 There's not many of us that got thrown out from center field, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 65 So, going back to one of my greater baseball teams.

Speaker 20 That's pretty awesome.

Speaker 26 Yeah, what about what about switch hitting? When did you decide that you were gonna hit from both sides?

Speaker 87 22 years old.

Speaker 26 That feels like that's pretty late.

Speaker 73 Yeah, I feel like when you have a coach telling you, either go home and go work in Hawaii or you want to become a switch hitter and you might become a big leaguer, then you tell me what you're going to do.

Speaker 26 So, how much work did that take? A lot.

Speaker 73 I mean, it was what I told people:

Speaker 133 it was not easy

Speaker 126 doing and hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do, like I said, but to try to do it at 22 years old against the best in the world at a high level,

Speaker 155 I was willing to try it.

Speaker 137 I was not trying to go home for the rest of my life and

Speaker 120 have no outcome, you know what I mean?

Speaker 126 So, but again, I look back and saying, having a coach that gave me that, you know, foresight, like, hey, bro, I think that if you do this, and at that time, I was in double A, I was eighth on the depth chart, you know, big leaguers already there, so like eight guys had to get hurt in the minor leagues.

Speaker 46 That ain't gonna happen.

Speaker 126 But he goes, if you become a switch hitter and you're willing to try it, there's nobody on this list.

Speaker 33 Wow.

Speaker 130 And I can honestly say that at the end of my career, out of all

Speaker 101 nine of us, ten of us that was in front of me,

Speaker 130 I would say I was able to have the most successful career.

Speaker 43 Did you have a,

Speaker 6 after you got called up, did you have like a welcome to the big leagues? Like, oh, fuck, this is different moment? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 103 Every fucking day for that first year.

Speaker 59 It was really, bro, this is what.

Speaker 59 I mean, it was just different.

Speaker 155 They were bigger. They were stronger.
They were just athletic.

Speaker 142 They were were the IQ of the game.

Speaker 144 It was,

Speaker 110 I call it, it became the chess mass versus the checker match.

Speaker 132 Like, it's now a chess match.

Speaker 137 It's not a checker.

Speaker 142 You know, like you gotta, you gotta have that extra move.

Speaker 148 And it was fun.

Speaker 147 But I mean, I said, the size of the guys, you know, just the way the game was played, it was just, it was a lot more fine, too.

Speaker 110 And it was cool.

Speaker 126 But yeah, every, I still tell my, even to the day I was done in the big leagues, there was always ah, me moments.

Speaker 151 Like, you know, playing with Mike Trout for the first time when he was healthy was like, you you know, back in his day where he was MVP, was like, bro, is this real?

Speaker 128 Yeah.

Speaker 143 Are you, can you really be this much better than everybody else?

Speaker 157 Like, so like, yeah, there was always those all me moments in baseball.

Speaker 117 And I think that's what, and maybe I'm just kind of downplaying it, but it was cool to always, and that's why I loved and I respected the game so much.

Speaker 130 It was like, you know, I played the way I did was because it was like, man, there was always those all me moments.

Speaker 126 As good as I thought I was or as great, it's like, man, there's.

Speaker 141 this dude or that dude, you know, like there was always those pinch-me moments.

Speaker 117 Yes.

Speaker 85 Yeah.

Speaker 26 What about the flip side to that? Was there a moment where you got called up to big leagues and you were like, I belong here. Like, I feel like I can do this.

Speaker 110 I mean, at a young age of 22, I thought I belong.

Speaker 130 And then I got sent back to the Meyer leagues.

Speaker 110 But then I realized there was so much more for me to learn.

Speaker 128 So mentally, yeah.

Speaker 47 But

Speaker 110 I always never try to think that I was there.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 139 And I think that's what helped me play for so long, too, was to never think like that.

Speaker 114 And you got to think every year, bro, there's a whole plethora of dudes that are just coming after you every single year.

Speaker 143 I mean, I got to play parts of 13 years, 11 total, you know, like,

Speaker 125 yeah.

Speaker 145 I'm lucky, you know, like, man, because yeah, every year someone's trying to take your shit. There's that next tranche of people, whether it be college, high school, you know, they're coming.

Speaker 74 They want to get you.

Speaker 29 Do you have your gold card on you?

Speaker 59 I do.

Speaker 128 Not on me. No.

Speaker 62 Have you used it?

Speaker 24 Never.

Speaker 42 Really? Come on.

Speaker 105 For people who don't know that.

Speaker 52 No, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 152 You have. It is.
I have never used it, but you're right.

Speaker 74 Will there be a moment I will? Yeah, hopefully.

Speaker 121 This is the coolest thing ever. If you play, what is it, eight years?

Speaker 117 Eight years or more.

Speaker 32 Eight years or more in Major League Baseball, you get a gold card and that gives you two seats to any game.

Speaker 6 You just got to walk up and they'll give you two seats.

Speaker 14 Correct.

Speaker 26 They should give you a platinum card. You should get every MLB team and Savannah Bananas.
Yeah. The only guy that has that.
Yeah.

Speaker 94 Savannah Bananas.

Speaker 128 I want to buy an ownership in that damn thing.

Speaker 138 I think they're Manampire.

Speaker 26 Now, just so you just walk up to the box office with the MLB gold card and you're just like, hey, you're supposed to be able to handle them.

Speaker 139 And they're supposed to give you the two best available seats.

Speaker 51 That's such a cool rule.

Speaker 48 No, we've not done that.

Speaker 15 I guess it's like this is just again another flex.

Speaker 24 This is a full circle.

Speaker 17 This is like the UF World Series we don't.

Speaker 47 Like,

Speaker 10 I would, I feel like I would do it every game just to be like, it's like a free trick.

Speaker 79 If you don't have it, you want it, right?

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 65 Yeah, yeah. I want to do your job.

Speaker 122 I want to sit there.

Speaker 149 I want to be as famous, you know, and then talk on radio.

Speaker 51 I don't know if you want to do your job. I love it.

Speaker 156 I listen to you outside, give it to somebody.

Speaker 40 Who is, I got a couple last questions.

Speaker 104 The nastiest pitcher you faced?

Speaker 23 Who?

Speaker 155 Every guy.

Speaker 2 But who was the net, like the filthiest? Like, god damn it.

Speaker 38 This shit is just different.

Speaker 139 Steven Strasberg, when he first came to the big leagues and he made his debut against us.

Speaker 110 And I remember telling myself, come on, bring this dude up to the big leagues.

Speaker 138 I can't wait.

Speaker 101 And I think he struck me out my first two bats, one on a 3-2 changeup and one on a 3-2 curveball.

Speaker 155 And I remember walking back to Telugu going, Do you throw 100?

Speaker 110 And you just threw me two off-speed pitches in a 3-2 count.

Speaker 156 We got no chance, Phil.

Speaker 24 This is not cool.

Speaker 156 So, Steven Strauss, when he first came up, was,

Speaker 59 I mean,

Speaker 103 honestly, all the Hall of Famers, those kind of guys.

Speaker 135 But when I look at that all-me motion, I was like, bro, like, this dude is not real.

Speaker 141 And his first, you know, every many years when he was healthy, it wasn't cool.

Speaker 47 Healthy.

Speaker 26 Yeah, people forget about him when it comes to that, like, upper echelon because the way the end of his career went. And then he had obviously the setback in the middle of the career.

Speaker 26 But then he came back from that too. But at his peak,

Speaker 101 that first five years, yeah i mean it was it was a joke you're running 100 miles an hour with you know you can throw everything else for strike it wasn't fun uh nl east fan base you hate the most

Speaker 157 come on man the mats mats got it i mean i i just want to hate them but i just i i i i love i hate love i hate love because what i loved about them was the fact that i knew that there was going to be fights with philly fans that night yeah

Speaker 155 and then and what i hate about them was the fact that they were obnoxious yeah and they gave it to us when we came to town.

Speaker 151 Yeah. And that team's, you know, those years, man, those were some fun games because they were good.

Speaker 157 Yeah.

Speaker 156 Those teams in New York were very good.

Speaker 117 And we had some good, old, fun battles, boy.

Speaker 92 Yeah.

Speaker 21 All right.

Speaker 116 We drove 1,700 miles of old Highway 61, the whole country top to bottom, just to prove one thing. Comfort food can make anywhere home.
Crave New World makes the classics you grew up with.

Speaker 116 Cleaned up for right now. High protein, no fake stuff, no shortcuts.
Bison meatloaf, chicken enchiladas, turkey lasagna, the kind of meals that taste like Saturday night, even on a Tuesday.

Speaker 34 Crave New World.

Speaker 116 Find it in Kroger Isles this October. The road trip might be over, but dinner's just getting good.

Speaker 70 Max.

Speaker 29 Max is a Philly guy.

Speaker 140 Got it, Max.

Speaker 32 He is, you're one of his favorite players ever. I think, was he the

Speaker 28 in the Little League World Series?

Speaker 3 He was your

Speaker 117 player, right?

Speaker 50 Yeah, I was in the regional, like the final game before you make it to the Little League World Series. They go around and ask.

Speaker 133 Who Who was your favorite player?

Speaker 51 I have the video pull.

Speaker 33 I have a video pull.

Speaker 99 That's awesome, man.

Speaker 65 Let's play it for them.

Speaker 145 No, that's it, man. That's what you work for all your life.

Speaker 45 It's kind of funny when you say that, you know.

Speaker 117 You look forward to that.

Speaker 149 Like that kid's saying on TV, my favorite player is.

Speaker 26 He just broke Shane.

Speaker 93 He just broke your sunglasses.

Speaker 37 He just broke Shane's.

Speaker 24 He stepped on his sunglasses.

Speaker 93 Max's couldn't have gone worse.

Speaker 121 You stepped directly on his sunglasses, dude.

Speaker 24 Oh, my God.

Speaker 51 Let me

Speaker 26 It's such a crunch. What?

Speaker 24 He's doing this pee on purpose.

Speaker 125 Oh.

Speaker 47 Dude, that's so cool.

Speaker 47 My name is Max Delani. I play first page and picture.

Speaker 125 Dude, that's so crazy.

Speaker 69 What a cool moment.

Speaker 74 Yeah, what a great moment. Isn't that awesome, Max?

Speaker 69 And then now here you are, stepping on his sunglasses.

Speaker 12 Meeting your hero.

Speaker 17 What a moment.

Speaker 3 Do you think that 12-year-old Max Delaney would have thought, like, one day I'll step on his sunglasses and embarrass myself?

Speaker 50 No, yeah, that went, that was the only way that was going to go, for sure.

Speaker 103 For sure. That was the only way I was going to go.

Speaker 29 So what's your question, Alex?

Speaker 50 They talked about the Grand Slam against the Brewers already. I wanted to ask you, how does it feel to have the second best up out of that inning?

Speaker 50 What were you guys thinking when Brett Myers pulled that nine-pitch walk?

Speaker 79 We were happy because we knew that that kind of

Speaker 117 exhausted Cece a little bit. I mean...

Speaker 144 Brett Myers was one of those guys, man.

Speaker 151 You knew what you were getting, but you didn't know what you were getting.

Speaker 119 You didn't know if you were getting the Brett Myers that was going to be straight or you didn't get the, you know, the guy that was going to throw out the guy's head for no reason.

Speaker 126 So, I mean, him doing that at bat, I tell people all day long, that was a big reason because I think he gassed Cece.

Speaker 112 I mean, and he, you know, he, he grind. And not only that, you kept getting 40,000 plus on their feet as his bats went on.

Speaker 117 Yeah, I mean, it just got louder and louder.

Speaker 110 And I tell people any day, 45,000 to Philadelphia, look out.

Speaker 73 You want to be on the good side.

Speaker 101 And I was lucky enough to be on the good side.

Speaker 130 Yeah.

Speaker 133 You know, some of the craziest dudes, Johnny Gomes, told me, he goes, man,

Speaker 147 oh, man, that was, you know, because he was in Tampa at the time.

Speaker 155 He goes, man, these fans are nuts.

Speaker 59 When I got to Boston, I was like, I was glad they were on my side.

Speaker 147 Yeah, Max, thank you. Appreciate that.

Speaker 26 Never meet your heroes. You might destroy it.

Speaker 50 Yeah, no, I'm sorry about the sunglasses.

Speaker 24 We'll survive.

Speaker 74 I think there's enough.

Speaker 26 Another good Max story. This is at the Super Bowl down in,

Speaker 26 what town was that in, Max? You remember that?

Speaker 50 You remember that night? What?

Speaker 51 Arizona, right?

Speaker 26 We go out for a night. Max had, he enjoyed himself until about 3.30 in the morning.
And at the party we were at, there was that dude, oh, it the mentalist. Oh, no, it was just a different

Speaker 65 mentalist.

Speaker 26 My bad. Different mentalists was there, and he was asking all of us.
Like, he, I think he asked Jake, who's your favorite baseball player of all time?

Speaker 26 And Max, just from the back, pushes his way to the front line.

Speaker 85 He goes, My favorite baseball player is Shane Victorino.

Speaker 26 And so the guy had to completely change up his trick because now he's got to deal with drunk Max. He's like, No, you got to do Shane Victorino.

Speaker 15 You got to do Shane Victorino.

Speaker 50 Yeah, when Jake was trying to do Derek Jeter, I thought that was too easy. I thought he was waiting for him.

Speaker 24 Yeah, you make it look good.

Speaker 24 Yeah,

Speaker 47 Oh, man.

Speaker 15 Well, Shane, thank you so much. This has been a lot of fun, and we appreciate you.

Speaker 29 Appreciate it.

Speaker 110 Thank you, guys. Thank you, man.
Appreciate it. Thanks, man.

Speaker 48 Appreciate it.

Speaker 159 Man, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 160 When you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 159 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nuggets, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 159 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 160 Snickers satisfies, man.

Speaker 159 That's a winning play.

Speaker 8 And now for something completely different.

Speaker 3 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, our good friend Shane Bacon, ahead of the, I still call it the British Open, the Open Championship.

Speaker 2 You can see Shane, his YouTube, on YouTube, Golf on CBS.

Speaker 16 He has the full preview.

Speaker 77 Probably a little nerdier than what we are going to get into because we don't understand golf to the level that Shane does.

Speaker 3 But Shane, good to have you on.

Speaker 124 First question,

Speaker 77 how many journalists are losing their clubs going over to Northern Ireland this week?

Speaker 96 This is my favorite time of year where it's just basically a bunch of guys going over, working the tournament, also playing some rounds, and then they lose their clubs and they complain about it all the time.

Speaker 49 Yeah, I mean, Big Cat, I famously lost mine at St.

Speaker 49 Andrews a few years ago and had the random person pick him up at Edinburgh and bring him to my hotel, a person that I did not know, that just just saw them kind of sitting in the corner after I'd lost them.

Speaker 49 But yeah, I'd say about half. I think about half the people lose their golf clubs on this trip every year.

Speaker 49 And I still kind of think it might be the only reason we still do Twitter, I think, is just to complain to the airlines. It's like maybe the main reason that we jump on it.
Yeah.

Speaker 26 Probably shit coins too.

Speaker 26 Complaining to airlines and then pumping shit coins. That's keeping the economy afloat.
So what's going on with Royal Port Rush?

Speaker 26 Because each of these courses for the Open Championship has their own identity. They've got weird quirks about them.
Some of them have got what?

Speaker 5 I just like the idea of like,

Speaker 34 this is our golf analysis.

Speaker 55 So

Speaker 54 what's Port Rush's deal?

Speaker 56 Yeah, what's his deal?

Speaker 26 What's his deal?

Speaker 22 What's he up to? Because

Speaker 26 sometimes you go over there and it's like, oh, this is the course that's got this one 40-foot bumper

Speaker 26 shadow. Other courses, it's like, oh, we've got these things called burns that run along the fairway on 17, 18 that'll fuck you up.

Speaker 2 Oh, here's a par three with 75-mile-an-hour wind that goes right in your face.

Speaker 26 Yeah, there's this one that's got a giant tree that grows, and we call it old boss man. And you have to avoid old boss man at all times.

Speaker 26 And back in 1970, who can forget when Sleepy Joe Willicker got stuck in the leaves?

Speaker 26 But there's always like one thing about each course when it comes to the open where it's like, this is what this course is known for. So what's the deal at Royal Portsmouth?

Speaker 49 So I would say that the thing it's probably known for, and it was highlighted in 2019, is internal out of bounds. We don't get a lot of that in the States.

Speaker 49 The course I grew up on in East Texas had internal out of bounds, and we just didn't like abide by it. We just hit the ball over the clubhouse, didn't care.

Speaker 49 But it's kind of necessary around this golf course, especially at the first hole. If you go back to 2019, you know, this was like the height of Ken Rory win a major, right?

Speaker 49 2019, going to Northern Ireland. He shot 61 on this golf course when he was 16 years old.

Speaker 49 And the first hole on Thursday hits it out of bounds and made, I think he made it eight in this opening hole and shot 79. So that's part of it.
It's probably the most penal in terms of driving.

Speaker 49 It's a tough golf course to hit fairways. You know, you think about St.
Andrews, these are 70-yard-wise fairways, right? It's almost impossible to miss the fairways around St. Andrews.

Speaker 49 This is a lot tighter. I was talking to a player earlier today, and I said, how many drivers said maybe half, like maybe half the holes? I'm going to hit driver.

Speaker 49 That's something that probably doesn't play in the hands of a Bryson type, right, who wants to lean on the driver as much as possible. But once you find the fairway, that's when it gets interesting.

Speaker 49 It's a second shot golf course, small greens for a Lynx-style golf course.

Speaker 49 And if you start to hit a lot of greens, I mean, if you do what Shane Lowry did in 2019, he had 80% of the greens that week, you're going to have a real opportunity to contend.

Speaker 49 And we talk so much about distance. Like, we love talking about Bryson bombing it and Rory bombing it.
Scotty hits it plenty far.

Speaker 49 But when you dive into like golf stats, the big-time dudes, like the big names we all know, are all near the top in terms of stroke gain approach. And that's all ironplay.

Speaker 49 So like the Scotties, Moracawas, Victor Hovlins, those types of players. And so those will be the names to kind of focus on as Thursday gets going.

Speaker 1 What in general, like this style of course, the Lynx course,

Speaker 3 what do you need specifically in your game?

Speaker 70 Is it a lot more touch?

Speaker 106 Is there a lot more feel?

Speaker 32 What is it that like the profile, because obviously

Speaker 96 Scotty's going to be good anywhere.

Speaker 106 There's some guys that are going to be good no matter what.

Speaker 2 But maybe guys that will have a chance here that don't have a chance other courses.

Speaker 32 What is it about their game?

Speaker 49 Yeah, I think the interesting part about the open when you kind of look through it historically is you don't have to hit it super far. I mean, the U.S.

Speaker 49 Open was never, you have to bomb it, kind of golf course. It's kind of turned into that a little bit, which I think is a bit of a bummer.

Speaker 49 It just feels like you have to hit driver far to contend and win at a U.S. Open.
The PGA is very much like that. Augusta is like that as well.
So you think about the majors, right?

Speaker 49 And they're all lean on the driver, hit it as far as possible. That's not the case at opens.

Speaker 49 I mean, you go through the history of this championship specifically, especially kind of in the modern times, and you'll occasionally get a Darren Clark or a Shane.

Speaker 49 Lowry, you know, somebody that's not going to be in the top 50% in terms of driving distance. So I think that's the unique part about it.
Like patience is important.

Speaker 49 I think that's one thing that's gotten to Scotty at this particular major and Bryson as well is just kind of being patient, understanding you're going to get some shitty breaks.

Speaker 49 You're going to hit it in a pop bunker and not being able to stand in it. Like five's okay.
Move on. I mean, you've got an opportunity on the next hole.

Speaker 49 So I think as much as anything, it's being okay with.

Speaker 49 Getting on this bad side of a draw, having bad weather kind of pop up when somebody else played in perfect conditions and understanding that's kind of part of the game.

Speaker 49 And I feel like this feels more four-day golf tournament than maybe some of the other ones we play.

Speaker 26 So how much of a factor is going to be the roulette wheel of the weather? Can we rely on anything with the weather at this tournament? Like, is it always bad in the mornings?

Speaker 26 Does it get worse in the afternoons?

Speaker 49 So it doesn't look like it's going to be too nasty in terms of wind this week.

Speaker 49 The forecast are saying, you know, maybe gust in 1520 on the weekend, which seems like a lot, but that's not that much in Northern Ireland.

Speaker 49 And the first couple of days seem pretty benign in terms of wind conditions. It's going to be wet, and that is the one thing.
It's going to be rainy. It's going to be wet.

Speaker 49 The one weird thing about pro golfers is they refuse to wear rain gear. I've asked a lot of them about it.
And they're just like, I don't like the way it feels. And obviously they get free close.

Speaker 49 And like, whatever, I'll just throw this sweater away on the back end.

Speaker 49 But I mean, if it gets really gross. Kind of the mudder type of players are the ones you kind of focus on.
I think about guys that grew up in this.

Speaker 49 I think about guys that have played in opens in the past that feel like this. If you go back to 2019, it was gross all four days of that open championship.

Speaker 49 And obviously Lowry was there and Tommy Fleetwood contended as well.

Speaker 49 You know, some other names I kind of like in these conditions, like I like a guy like like Patrick Reed, you know, who can just kind of mud it up and doesn't mind if it gets nasty, almost prefers it.

Speaker 49 Even a Jordan Speed type who's okay if it gets a little nasty and plays a little bit tougher in terms of the conditions. So those are maybe the names I lean towards.

Speaker 49 And then somebody like Scotty, and I keep going back to this, but... Like, Scotty does not like it when it's quote unquote unfair.
I mean, that is the one weird thing about Scotty.

Speaker 49 Like, he wants a great shot rewarded, and that's just not what Link Scoff's about.

Speaker 49 And when you look at Scotty's record at the open versus all the other majors, this is the one he has not played great at.

Speaker 49 So I think for Scotty, it's trying to lean a little bit more into that world versus, oh my God, I pulled the three-wood off. Why is it not in the middle of the green? Why is it in that pot bunker?

Speaker 55 Yeah.

Speaker 3 So what is it about Lynx golf that a great shot is not rewarded?

Speaker 77 Is it just that much more difficult?

Speaker 68 Yeah,

Speaker 68 firm ground.

Speaker 47 So it rolls a lot.

Speaker 49 So, you know, you might land, you know, you watch pro golf. You guys watch, you know, PJ Tor golf a decent amount.
You see it ball land on the front of the green.

Speaker 49 It's probably going to stay on the green, right?

Speaker 49 Here, it can land on the front of the green, roll, roll, roll, roll off the back of the green, go down into a pot bunker, and you might be against a lip where you can't get it out.

Speaker 49 I mean, I think that's the unpredictability of kind of firm conditions. And I think it's something like us nerdy golf people prefer.
Like, we like seeing the ball roll.

Speaker 49 I mean, PFT, I know you're a big root for the golf course guy. And these are the golf courses I tend to root for the most because you have to accept what happens.
Like, I caddied at St.

Speaker 49 Andrews out of college for a few months. I saw plenty of good golf shots that ended up in horrible spots, you know.
So understanding that it's not always going to be perfect.

Speaker 49 And, you know, it's, how many shots do you see a three-pointer that kind of rims in and out and doesn't go through, right?

Speaker 49 It would look like a perfect shot, but it didn't go in, or a perfect pass, you know, over the top of a safety or a corner, and the receiver just drops it. Like, those things happen in sports.

Speaker 49 And I think at golf, it happens the most in these conditions versus most of the stuff we see the rest of the season.

Speaker 15 I'm excited.

Speaker 26 It might be a dumb question, but are there any golfers that are luckier, that are better at being lucky than others?

Speaker 49 I mean, I'm sure there's some that would say they're probably luckier. I think Jordan, for the first probably four or five years of his career, felt very lucky.

Speaker 49 I mean, you think about the way he won the U.S. Open, right? It's like Dustin Johnson hits it on the green, has a putt for Eagle, three puts, makes par.
Jordan Speeth wins the U.S.

Speaker 49 Open at Chambers Bay, right? Like that felt a little lucky. It kind of not handed an open, but you know, you got the benefit of somebody kind of struggling down the stretch.

Speaker 49 I think Speet's one of those players that kind of feels lucky, but it always seems to be the guys that are like playing the best golf, right? Like Scotty feels like he gets lucky a decent amount.

Speaker 49 John Rahm feels like he gets lucky a decent amount, right? I mean, when you hit great golf shots, you're always, always going to be rewarded on either one end or the back end.

Speaker 49 So I always kind of lean maybe towards the better players over maybe the guys that struggle a bit.

Speaker 26 I got a quick headline grab for you. Dig deep into the narratives of this open.

Speaker 26 Is it now or never for Tommy Fleetwood?

Speaker 47 God, it feels like it.

Speaker 49 I mean, this the Travelers thing was such a bummer. Like, I love rooting for Tommy Fleetwood.
He's my pick this week. I pick him like seven times a year, and he never wins.

Speaker 49 I kind of feel like Tommy Fleetwood's Gonzaga basketball is kind of my comment.

Speaker 47 Yeah, to a Final Four.

Speaker 49 Very good, very talented. Number one seed a lot of the time.
Obviously, he has the talent on the floor, but doesn't get it done. That's kind of who Tommy Fleetwood has become in professional golf.

Speaker 49 He played great here in 2019, finished second. He plays the open the best of all the majors, and he's one of the best iron players in the world.

Speaker 49 So it's kind of like do it now or you're never going to get it done. This is the last time I'm picking him, though.
I can't pick him again.

Speaker 49 Like I said, I pick him too many times already, and he never wins. But I'm leaning on the Gonzaga of golf once again here.

Speaker 15 I have a question about the mentals of the golfers this week.

Speaker 32 So we have Scotty Scheffler just gave a press conference that was very honest and very real where he basically was like, I celebrate a win for about two seconds and then I'm like, hey, what are we getting for dinner with my family?

Speaker 3 And just talking about like he, this pursuit, this endless pursuit, and maybe the highs aren't really fully worth it.

Speaker 17 And then you also have Rory talking about being honest about winning the Masters and feeling like there's kind of nothing left.

Speaker 124 Are these guys okay?

Speaker 59 Are we okay

Speaker 15 as a golf community?

Speaker 3 What's going on?

Speaker 49 I mean, everybody's also firing their caddies every two weeks now. I don't know what's going on.
I was texting with a caddy this morning. I'm like, this seems abnormal.

Speaker 49 Does it feel abnormal to you guys?

Speaker 49 I do think it is something unique to golf, right? And I think this was a big struggle for Rory after the Masters is you win the Masters.

Speaker 49 For you, it's the biggest thing you've ever accomplished, right? I mean, he admitted it. He talked about it.
Obviously, you saw the emotions on the green.

Speaker 49 We talk about it in the sports world for what, three days, four days?

Speaker 49 And and then it's like another golf tournament that, quote unquote, matters as much as any other big signature events outside the majors, right?

Speaker 49 So, I do think golf of all the events is the strangest one because you don't win a lot. And when you do win, you get two or three days and the narrative changes.

Speaker 49 And I mean, if I asked you guys, you guys pay attention to sports nonstop, right? If I asked you guys who won the open two years ago or four years ago or six years ago, you probably wouldn't know.

Speaker 49 Shane Lowe.

Speaker 26 Hank knows. Hank's got it.

Speaker 26 Shane Lowry.

Speaker 11 What happened to you?

Speaker 154 Shane Lowry, 2019.

Speaker 49 Yeah, but Hank doesn't even know who's on the what's the live team you always ask him about?

Speaker 60 Forest.

Speaker 24 That's a good question. Yeah, hang on, Shane.

Speaker 33 Let's go.

Speaker 24 No, no, no. Let's play this.
Let's play this.

Speaker 113 No, no, no, no. Go.
Forest.

Speaker 40 It's Dustin Johnson.

Speaker 43 It's Harold Varner. It's Patrick Reed.
And it's this guy. Oh, no.

Speaker 71 Peters.

Speaker 47 Yeah. Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 42 Yeah, no, you're right, though. We all move on very quickly from a lot of this stuff.

Speaker 26 But I do keep like a file in the back of my head of who has won a major.

Speaker 60 Yeah,

Speaker 60 it's actually more who hasn't won a major.

Speaker 56 It's what the final is.

Speaker 49 If you win a Super Bowl or NBA championship or all this stuff in other sports, you have like months to celebrate it, right?

Speaker 49 And you have all this time to enjoy it and you get away from the game and all that stuff. And golf just doesn't really allow you that.

Speaker 49 I'd say maybe the only time these players really let loose is after winning a Ryder Cup because there's not a lot of golf on the back end of that.

Speaker 49 But major season is so compact now with that PGA move a few years ago that it just feels like, hey, win it and then ride back to it.

Speaker 49 And I honestly think that was a big part of why Rory struggled at the PGA.

Speaker 49 I mean, it's a golf course he should play well at, but I do think sometimes he's like, did I get my flowers appropriately for what I just pulled off?

Speaker 49 Because nobody thought I was going to win this thing ever. And it came down the stretch.
It didn't look like I was going to win it anyway. And then I do get it done.

Speaker 49 And it's like, what are you going to do the rest of the season versus what you just got done and accomplished in your career?

Speaker 100 Well, you're an illegal driver.

Speaker 26 We found out later. Yeah.
So we can wipe that one away. That's from Rory.

Speaker 85 That's right.

Speaker 26 So you mentioned the caddies getting fired. I know he's not playing in the open, but Joel Damon did part ways with with Geno, his beloved caddy, recurring guest on part of my take.

Speaker 26 That one stung because I like a lot of other people. We watched Full Swing on Netflix, and it felt like these were two just great friends that were just going to stick it out together.

Speaker 26 Do you have any idea what happened there?

Speaker 49 I think that Geno has been very honest with Joel about if this isn't working for you at any point, let me know. And I think sometimes you need a new voice in your ear as a caddy.

Speaker 49 I mean, that's something Phil and Bones talked about when they split up, right? Is sometimes you have this messaging that you say to a player, and at some point it just stops.

Speaker 49 Big cat, it's like when you yell at your kids, right? And it just stops working and you've kind of got to change your approach. And it's like, do I need to be nicer?

Speaker 49 Do I need to stop offering iPad or ice cream or whatever the case may be and try something a little bit different? But the caddy, I will say, it does seem very easy right now.

Speaker 49 And I'm not saying this about Joel or anybody, but it does seem super simple as a golfer right now to say, I need a change. Let's make it the caddy.

Speaker 49 And I think sometimes the grass isn't always greener. And I know Gino's going to get another bag because he's a very good caddy.

Speaker 49 I also know Gino's one of those dudes that if he wants to do TV at some point, he would be excellent at TV. So maybe if the caddy thing doesn't work out, he could go down that route as well.

Speaker 49 And I hope somebody I'm working with would hire him because he's a really, really good dude, thoughtful dude, and knows a ton about the game.

Speaker 105 Yeah, the other day I did a countdown on my daughter, three, two, one, put your shoes on.

Speaker 17 Like you have three seconds.

Speaker 18 And we got past one and she we just kind of stared at each other.

Speaker 15 And I think she probably needs a new dad.

Speaker 26 She realized what happens, nothing happens after you get to one. Yeah.

Speaker 49 I just, I don't know.

Speaker 49 I'm currently in the same phase right now with my daughter, Big Cat. I don't even know, like, I have no other pitches, man.
Like, I've tried all my pitches.

Speaker 49 I've kind of, they're just hitting them out of the park, and I don't know what else to do.

Speaker 49 I almost feel like I might read a parenting book, which I said I probably would never do, but I think I might lean that route. If you have one to suggest, let me know.

Speaker 17 I just throw out crazy shit that kind of confuses them.

Speaker 77 Like, I'll be like, we'll be driving in the highway, and I should be like, I'm going to drop you off on the highway, and you're just going to have to walk home.

Speaker 17 And they'll like laugh and just.

Speaker 49 probably not in the book.

Speaker 17 Yeah, they'll be like, What do you mean?

Speaker 106 Like, we'll just get hit by cars and die.

Speaker 75 And then I'm like, All right, we have a good laugh and then we move on.

Speaker 51 Have you thought about crazy shit?

Speaker 49 My son asked me the other day if I died and mom died, could he live with dude perfect? And I was like, Yes, I don't think so.

Speaker 51 Yes, but I know I don't know.

Speaker 24 That's a yes,

Speaker 47 yeah, sure. That's a yeah, sounds great.

Speaker 26 It's also a great question, yeah.

Speaker 49 Have you tried double ice cream?

Speaker 26 I know ice cream might not work, but what if you just said, we'll do double ice cream?

Speaker 49 Oh, dude, we're on, we're on the popsicles right now. Popsicles are killing it in the summer.

Speaker 49 They love the popsicles post-camp is like one of the things at least saves me about an hour of silence, which is nice.

Speaker 36 Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 40 Absolutely.

Speaker 26 We got to check in with you on the update on the blueprint, the handshake agreement, the framework that we have between the Live and the PGA. We've been all over these.

Speaker 88 So

Speaker 26 how is the blueprint looking right now? Have we made any updates to it? Have terms been agreed upon?

Speaker 49 Dust is settled on the blueprint. They might abandon the project at some point.
Uh, it feels like the PJ tours kind of won this thing.

Speaker 49 I feel like a year ago, we were all maybe thinking the other side of it.

Speaker 49 Um, but I mean, lives, you know, out there and it's producing players, and I don't think any of the players care about it anymore.

Speaker 49 But I don't, I don't feel like they're anywhere any closer than they were when they said it was, you know, pending 18 months ago, two years ago, whatever the case may be.

Speaker 49 It just feels like the blueprint is an idea of like the vacation home that you decided you can't afford, you know? Yeah.

Speaker 33 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 28 It just got everyone off their back for a little bit.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 49 I mean, you just throw words out in sport and then people go, oh, you know, it's like

Speaker 49 we're searching for a new coach. The process is out there and you, then, you know, you never hire a new coach.

Speaker 26 We've got concepts of a plan. Yeah.
Of the two mergers. Yeah.

Speaker 21 Can

Speaker 5 so, so give us your, if you had to pick, if I had one gun to head, gun to head.

Speaker 28 Max, put your gun up.

Speaker 26 Gun to head. Max is leaving.

Speaker 124 Shane, you have to give us five guys and one of them.

Speaker 47 He's going to point a gun at me. Yep.

Speaker 26 Zach point a gun. Oh, he's got a gun.

Speaker 47 No. He's not doing that.
That's not out of CNA.

Speaker 22 Memes, change the show shan the guns that Zach has at him right here.

Speaker 47 Oh, look at that. Oh, yeah.
Oh, my goodness. Yeah, they're dope there.

Speaker 49 Never thought he would come that way.

Speaker 47 All right, I got names for you.

Speaker 10 Five guys.

Speaker 49 I got Tommy Fleetwood.

Speaker 19 Okay.

Speaker 49 Finished second, 2019 at Port Rush. T4, T10, two of his last three starts at the open.
I like Tommy Fleetwood. You guys are DraftKing guys, right? Isn't that the deal?

Speaker 47 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 49 I was looking up some numbers on DraftKings. Speed, I like a little bit as a sleeper.
Okay.

Speaker 49 um plus 450 draft kings to top 10 plus 900 to top five um i like both those numbers i think in terms of the favorite favorite guys up there i like john rahm a lot um at the open um cameron young i think is a long shot i'm a fan of he's played great at the open in his very short career and then harry hall is a name i also like he's played some solid golf this year uh maybe not to win but i think somebody to finish in the top 10 plus he's sponsored by the hard rock cafe which i think is the funniest uh golf sponsorship sponsorship out there right now.

Speaker 47 I love that. That's the Hard Rock Cafe on the.

Speaker 49 I didn't know they still were that, like, existed.

Speaker 56 There's an iconic one in Philadelphia.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 26 The Commanders took it over. We took it over before the game.
It was all over the place. Oh, no way.

Speaker 113 Yeah.

Speaker 49 Was the food okay? Like, is it still memorabilely all over the place? Like, how was it?

Speaker 26 Well, I wasn't there for it. It was just not.
It's like a Philly stronghold. It's the most important restaurant in downtown Philadelphia.

Speaker 26 And for the Commanders fans to take that over really said something.

Speaker 26 So, yeah, I'm very, I'm intimately familiar with the

Speaker 26 story.

Speaker 49 I feel like I'm going to go to a Chili's overall over, but that's okay.

Speaker 47 Oh, that's great.

Speaker 56 Chilies.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 17 Hank, did you have a question?

Speaker 43 No, I was just going to say, also, Cameron Young, MLB.

Speaker 43 What do you mean? Yeah. He's got the MLB.
Like, that's probably the second most ridiculous sponsorship in God.

Speaker 65 Oh, yeah, yeah. I don't get that, Hank.

Speaker 47 I don't get it at all.

Speaker 49 I just don't, like, what are they getting out of that?

Speaker 43 I think his dad is just friends with Rob Manfred or something.

Speaker 65 That's awesome.

Speaker 26 Wait, what's the most ridiculous?

Speaker 43 Well, he said

Speaker 97 Hard Rock Cafe in Harry Hall is pretty ridiculous.

Speaker 26 I do like the idea of a professional athlete being sponsored by a different sport.

Speaker 86 That's kind of cool. I would love to be sponsored by the NFL.

Speaker 71 And it's the most golf thing ever.

Speaker 49 If you guys remember Payne Stewart, the late Payton Stewart was sponsored by the NFL for a while, and he would wear the team, local team's color outfit that week during the tournament, which was awesome.

Speaker 49 That's right.

Speaker 51 Like go to Miami and have dolphin colors.

Speaker 26 Yeah. What about our good friend, our dear friend Chris Godderup just won the Scottish Open.
Confirmed AWL. Confirmed AWL.

Speaker 26 Is there any translation between winning the Scottish Open and then how you perform at the Open Championship?

Speaker 49 I mean, I think, you know, I mean, I obviously keep the train rolling, but again, it's not the same golf course as the Renaissance. I hate saying it that way, by the way.
It sounds ridiculous.

Speaker 49 But that place, you just drive the hell out of the driver, just hit it as far as you can. This place, again, not going to be that type of golf course, but he's playing solid.

Speaker 49 So, I mean, I can see him going out there and kind of following it up with maybe a top 25 or top 10. I don't think he's going to win.

Speaker 10 What about big week for our guy, Brooks Kepka?

Speaker 17 We have the takeies on Friday.

Speaker 47 Oh, wow. He has already called in or is he calling in?

Speaker 15 We have not taped yet the Blake of the Year, but he is obviously in the running, hasn't won that.

Speaker 3 What does he have a better chance of, winning this tournament or winning Blake of the Year?

Speaker 49 Man, what a great question. I would say

Speaker 49 he played really well here in 2019, but that was kind of height of his power.

Speaker 49 Played with J.B. Holmes on Sunday.
That kind of crushed his chances. Like JB shot a million.
I think J.B. Holmes was T3 or T4 going to the final round and finished like 45th.
Shot like 86.

Speaker 49 I would say probably Blake of the Year is probably where I'd lean.

Speaker 49 Right now, that being said, nothing would make me happier than Kepka getting contention. Kepka and Speeth playing well in majors makes this stuff more fun.

Speaker 65 Yeah, agreed.

Speaker 51 Agreed. Agreed.

Speaker 56 Take time agree.

Speaker 26 You just mentioned like he got screwed by his partner.

Speaker 26 Is that a pretty common thing where if your partner, if he shoots like in the 80s, that you have a most of the guy, most of the time, the other guys that are paired with him have a very hard time shooting low?

Speaker 49 Depends on the personality. I mean, Kepka's not, I would think he'd probably even admit this, not the most patient golfer out there.
He does not like slow play. He doesn't like guys that take forever.

Speaker 49 When you're shooting shooting 86, you're taking forever. JB Holmes is also very slow.
So he was slow and shooting 100. So that doesn't help the situation.

Speaker 49 I think some guys just can kind of like check out, look away, look at the water, talk to their caddy, tell stories, things like that.

Speaker 49 But I think it's kind of personality-driven if you can handle it or not.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 11 All right, Shane, I got one last question.

Speaker 2 It's a robot question.

Speaker 106 R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com. Promo code take 20% off your first purchase.

Speaker 15 Q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts.

Speaker 106 Rowback.com. Promo code take.

Speaker 65 So make sure you tune in because

Speaker 10 you can see the analysis after every round.

Speaker 17 Shane is the best in the biz when it comes to this stuff.

Speaker 91 And speaking of,

Speaker 42 you love golf.

Speaker 28 You golf a lot, but you also have a job.

Speaker 15 And I wanted to say thank you, Shane, because he actually had a tea time that he moved to come on this show today, something that henry lockwood would never do

Speaker 36 yeah i had a 930 set what's the question hold on what's the question

Speaker 24 or that was a robot question

Speaker 123 all right

Speaker 124 rollback question shane if you were playing dungeons and dragons with us would you be complaining that it's going too long because you had a tea time

Speaker 49 No, I would be dialed on my job.

Speaker 47 I'd be locked in and I'd be ready to roll. But that's something that

Speaker 49 I'd be doing. I mean, like, shout out to my buddy Katropa and Joe Musso.

Speaker 49 I was supposed to be playing a little golf with them this morning big cat text me yesterday and i went hey listen man when the boys call i got to do it and uh golf be damned but but wait what if it was on your birthday i mean even more reason to do my job nobody cares about my birthday i'm not turning 16 anymore yeah like the every birthday i have from this point forward matters almost 0% to everybody involved how's your game right now

Speaker 49 you know dude I I kind of lost it a little bit earlier this year and I just found something about two weeks ago.

Speaker 49 So trending upwards, I'd say.

Speaker 49 I shot a couple under the other day, which was nice and my home club have not touched that number in a little bit. And I got a big, a big tournament next week that I'm looking forward to.

Speaker 49 So I'd say it's on the up and up. How's Hank's game right now?

Speaker 26 It's not bad.

Speaker 40 He's playing a lot.

Speaker 44 He missed an entire day of workout in Lake Tahoe.

Speaker 26 He's not as long as he would like to be. Yeah.

Speaker 49 Dude, I watched the long drive video, PFT. I mean, you were giving it.
everything you had. And was your back that messed up?

Speaker 26 My back's really messed up right now. Yeah, it sucks.
But great course, right?

Speaker 32 Did you like the course we were playing on?

Speaker 51 Yeah, it looked great. Yeah.

Speaker 65 We got more coming.

Speaker 22 We played a skins match that we like, it's great course.

Speaker 26 We talked to the guy that runs the course and he goes, the last thing he said to us before we go out there, he goes, okay, don't get bit. Yeah.

Speaker 83 And then we're like, what?

Speaker 54 Bit by what? Yeah.

Speaker 51 He's like, coyotes and bears. Okay.

Speaker 49 I was caddying in Australia years ago for a friend of mine on the LPJ tour. And I am like, I'm not an arachnophobe, but I do not like spiders.
Like, get out of my face with that stuff.

Speaker 49 Snakes, whatever.

Speaker 49 I lived in arizona for a long time not a spider guy at all and i'm like jet lag get the bag out of the car i'm walking to the first tee to play a practice round and i almost walk into a spider web with a spider that was probably seven inches long like one of those ones that looks fake like you'd put like outside of your house for halloween and i told my friend irene i go listen Don't take this the wrong way, but if you mishit a drive and it goes in the shit, I am not looking for it.

Speaker 85 Like, you can have a spotter help you.

Speaker 49 You can go look for it if you want, but I'm out. Like, this is not part of my job.
I'm not getting bit by a spider.

Speaker 34 No, thank you. Yes.
Yeah.

Speaker 26 I will never golf in Australia. Everything in Australia will either kill you or buy you a beer.
Yeah.

Speaker 52 Yeah. It's really weird.

Speaker 47 Why is it all in Australia?

Speaker 49 None of it, New Zealand. Don't understand that.

Speaker 34 That's true. That's a good point.

Speaker 91 All right.

Speaker 96 Well, Shane, you're the best.

Speaker 17 Thank you.

Speaker 2 Appreciate you as always, and we'll talk soon.

Speaker 49 Thanks, boys.

Speaker 40 What's up, guys?

Speaker 1 It's Big Cat here making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey.

Speaker 2 How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

Speaker 15 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 108 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt.

Speaker 1 Age four years in bourbon barrels.

Speaker 30 Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 15 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish Apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 18 So get out there and make your Irish entrance.

Speaker 13 Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 32 Guys on chicks, but first, Zach,

Speaker 26 we have an official date.

Speaker 15 Don't say time or place or anything, any details, but do we have an official date?

Speaker 72 I won't dox the date, but we do have an official date. Let's go.

Speaker 34 We do. All right.

Speaker 51 We got date.

Speaker 77 We have time, location, activity.

Speaker 4 Don't say all of them.

Speaker 72 We do have all of those things.

Speaker 72 Today is not that day. The day is coming soon.
So as long as she's still down for the date in the upcoming days, we will be going on a date.

Speaker 26 Are you excited?

Speaker 72 I'm looking forward to it very much so, PFT.

Speaker 15 I'm excited for you.

Speaker 37 And I think you're going to nail this.

Speaker 26 What was the response like? Was it happy? Was it friendly?

Speaker 72 In

Speaker 72 the discourse back and forth,

Speaker 72 I would say so. It was

Speaker 72 friendly cordial.

Speaker 26 Friendly cordial. Good baseline to build off of.

Speaker 59 Friendly cordial is a great combo.

Speaker 72 I think it

Speaker 47 hopefully it goes well. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 26 We're not doing Pilates on the first date.

Speaker 72 Thankfully, we're not getting into Pilates Studio on the first date. No.
That would be catastrophic DEF CON one, or the highest of DEF COMs. Yeah.

Speaker 29 I can't ever remember if it's five or one.

Speaker 26 I think it's one.

Speaker 72 Have you guys seen the contraptions you got to get into for Pilates?

Speaker 47 I have, yeah.

Speaker 47 They're intimidating.

Speaker 38 It's scary.

Speaker 83 We're going to, we'll maybe.

Speaker 124 if the, if the first date goes well and there's a second date, then we will do a video of us trying out Pilates so that we can get you up to speed.

Speaker 72 I did see there were quite a few Pilates studios trying to get you guys to do Pilates.

Speaker 36 Oh, okay.

Speaker 68 All right. Well, we'll maybe do it.

Speaker 29 All right, Hank, guys on chicks.

Speaker 43 Hey, PMT, another Rachel AWL here. Just want to say that I've been listening for years, and Zach is one of the most genuine and well-intentioned people you guys have had on the show.

Speaker 43 His genuine appreciation and excitement for everything he gets to do makes me so happy. My question is, Zach, if you could plan your ideal first date, what would it be?

Speaker 72 Don't dox your date. Don't dox your date.
I won't dox your date. Ideal first date,

Speaker 72 I think drinks is a safe call. I also think maybe like

Speaker 72 an activity, but not too strenuous, like intermediate strength. No, no, no, no, beginner strenuous.

Speaker 11 Beginner, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 28 Yeah.

Speaker 59 Maybe a walk. A light walk.

Speaker 51 A walk would be not bad.

Speaker 107 Wine walk. A little wine action.

Speaker 76 Yeah.

Speaker 32 A walk would, I feel like a walk is good because you can, like you could do a walk, and then if it's going well, be like, Let's go grab a drink.

Speaker 76 It's kind of a lead-in

Speaker 72 checkpoints along the way, yeah.

Speaker 17 And I feel like a walk also hits that uh, every girl's brain being in a rom-com where it's like, hey, let's walk the city if it's in fall, love, yeah, yeah, nice autumn walk.

Speaker 26 I also like how Zach's brain works in terms of video games, like hitting the checkpoints along the way. So, if you screw something up, you just go back to the bench.

Speaker 72 Yes, I could see the similarities there. Yes, we'd have to go back to the save point at that point.

Speaker 47 Yes, Yeah.

Speaker 51 Okay.

Speaker 43 Hey, guys.

Speaker 43 Hey. I was recently on my honeymoon with my husband, and I found out he body washes before he washes his hair.
I've always done the opposite, and I shampoo and condition my hair before I body wash.

Speaker 43 Am I the weird one, or is he?

Speaker 26 I think it just comes down to guys versus girls. More specifically, long hair versus not having long hair.

Speaker 17 This is also a good Mount Rushmore don't care about what order you wash in.

Speaker 43 I also definitely do not have a consistent order.

Speaker 47 At all.

Speaker 26 Because guys, especially guys with short hair, we just take the body wash and then we just put that all over our body.

Speaker 51 Yeah, why'd you say?

Speaker 26 Because I used to have short hair. Oh.

Speaker 26 So it's like you just take the all-in-one. I'm stealing Valor.

Speaker 24 What's that?

Speaker 71 You can use.

Speaker 26 Yeah, for like 30 years.

Speaker 74 Yeah, I don't know what order I do it in.

Speaker 117 I don't think it matters.

Speaker 50 I do body wash and then wash.

Speaker 23 I think I do.

Speaker 50 Body wash first. I think you're supposed to do.

Speaker 50 You're supposed to.

Speaker 60 You're supposed to shit.

Speaker 36 You're supposed to shit.

Speaker 14 Oh, then get in the shower.

Speaker 50 I can't tell you the last time that I've taken a shower without at least trying to shit.

Speaker 34 Yes, of course.

Speaker 50 And I sit on the toilet for like 20 minutes. Yeah.

Speaker 66 Whatever.

Speaker 50 But I'm normally body wash before wash your hair, but I think you're supposed to let the conditioner stay in your hair.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 43 I found out when I was like 26 that you were only supposed to wash your hair like once or twice a week. Yeah.
I did it every day.

Speaker 40 I still do it every day.

Speaker 15 I wonder, do you think, how many women do you think realize that we do not take long showers as men? We're just shitting for the first 20 minutes of the shower.

Speaker 124 Because I turn the shower on.

Speaker 28 And I know it's kind of wasting, but I also don't want anyone to hear me shitting.

Speaker 50 You're a self-conscious shitter.

Speaker 53 Well, I mean, I've learned that a bit of time.

Speaker 51 I do some damage, dude.

Speaker 60 It's not pretty.

Speaker 31 Yeah, you bag it up.

Speaker 37 Yeah, listen, I had a couple tweets about that.

Speaker 15 Probably overshared, but I also stand by what I did.

Speaker 17 And I'll have to do it again. Done it before, did it in Tahoe, gonna do it again.

Speaker 15 If you get stuck in a situation where you have have a clogged toilet, just find a little plastic bag, put your hand in it, do it.

Speaker 26 Do they make an all-in-one body wash that also has, like, you can brush your teeth with it?

Speaker 51 Like, all, all in one.

Speaker 7 And drink, and drink.

Speaker 51 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 26 You get the shampoo, the conditioner, the body wash, the toothpaste, the mouth wash.

Speaker 42 Flube to jerk off.

Speaker 26 Flube to jack off. Deodorant.

Speaker 56 That's just body wash.

Speaker 26 No, body wash can dry you. It can dry you out, Hank.

Speaker 43 Hey, PMT Crew, Fontan AWL here with some first date advice for a new Zach wrap. On the first date, you go, absolutely need flowers.
Go colorful, not just roses.

Speaker 43 And pick somewhere nice, but not too nice because you can't set the bar too high. My vote would be a Chili's, so you can both get a trip dip and $1 marks.

Speaker 47 The girls love Chili's.

Speaker 91 Chili's is definitely a place that girls get horny at.

Speaker 26 It's very romantic.

Speaker 75 For sure.

Speaker 26 Flowers and chilies?

Speaker 80 Is that what we're talking about?

Speaker 43 Flowers and chilies.

Speaker 19 Yeah, flowers and chilies.

Speaker 17 I think that does play.

Speaker 26 Have you thought about the flowers moves, Zach?

Speaker 72 I haven't thought about that. I do respect the Chilies move, though.

Speaker 41 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 56 You might have to get to a Chili's.

Speaker 64 Pivot?

Speaker 68 No. I can't pivot.
I can't pivot.

Speaker 26 Don't change the location.

Speaker 52 Yeah, yeah, don't change the location.

Speaker 22 Flowers, I feel like, is a try-hard move.

Speaker 72 It's kind of heavy, first eight.

Speaker 32 It's a very heavy move.

Speaker 47 I think flowers is a try-hard move just period.

Speaker 76 Oh, wow. Try hard.

Speaker 26 That raises a lot of questions, though, Max. Try hard.
No. Surprise flowers.

Speaker 10 Surprise flowers can get you into a situation where, like, what'd you do wrong?

Speaker 117 Yes.

Speaker 50 Flowers are the easiest thing to do, though. Like, you're just at the grocery store.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I don't like it.

Speaker 50 And you see, like, $10, and it's like, oh, yeah,

Speaker 50 why wouldn't I just buy these for somebody else?

Speaker 51 Because if you did some,

Speaker 43 I used to have a guy, and there was a guy that on my commute home in Massachusetts would be on the street selling them, and sometimes you buy them for yourself.

Speaker 125 No,

Speaker 26 it's that, yeah, the I fucked up flowers, yeah.
