When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo. The hole is greater than the sum of its sauce.

Speaker 1 Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch Sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time. At participating, McDonald's.
Okay, let's go.

Today is Monday, July 7th, and the boys are back in town.

Speaker 1 I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 We're back.

Speaker 1 We're tan. Oh, we are really tanned.
I think this is the tannest this podcast has ever been. Max, are you Italian?

Speaker 1 You look swarthy. Max is swarthy right now.
Yeah, I'm Italian.

Speaker 1 I got some time in the sun this week. We all got some time in the sun.

Speaker 1 Quick power ranking. Who's the most tanned? Memes and Zach are by far the least.

Speaker 1 It might be Big Cat. It might be Hank, but I can't tell if that's Hank's normal.

Speaker 1 Hank looks pretty tan. He's always tan.
I got a mean sunburn. I got a mean.
But a mean sunburn turns into a great tan if you got the right skin. Exactly.
No, two days, I'm good. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Have you guys been raw dogged? I've been raw dogging in a few days. I did it.
I've raw dogged every day. I did on the fourth.
Yeah, I really did. I did every day.
I didn't put on.

Speaker 1 I put zero ounces of sunscreen on. My problem is.
I think you're tougher than the sun.

Speaker 1 The fucking sun? Yes, I very much think that I'm tougher than the sun. My kids have SPF like 70 lying around, and I'm like, this is, you just

Speaker 1 put on like a Moo Moo in the sun. So I just raw dog.

Speaker 1 on the 4th of July I they're even more Italian yeah they are I'm not Italian they are I had a personal challenge with the sun on the fourth and I just stared it I stared it down yeah I said it's you and me manoe mano we've been going at it now for 40 years let's put it all on the line today didn't even get burned the bet the best part about this being just going manoe mano on the sun is like you just get a nice lather sweat and you can trick yourself into being like i worked out today

Speaker 1 Where you just didn't. I was just sitting at the pool.
No, if you sweat, that's a workout. That's a workout.
If you go in the sauna, that's a workout. If you get nervous, that's a workout.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but we're back. We're back.
So we're going no cast today because we haven't seen each other in 10 days. And we're about to head to Tahoe.
We're going to do some great interviews.

Speaker 1 And we also got some stuff we got to catch up on. Where do you guys want to start? I have so many things I want to get off my chest.
I have a serious topic. If you want to do a serious topic.

Speaker 1 Let's wait. Let's wait on the serious.
Okay. Like, seriously, serious? It's as serious as serious could get.

Speaker 1 You want to do the serious topic? I would like to do the series.

Speaker 1 I'm going to be thinking about the serious topic if we don't. I would like to do the serious topic, and it's very serious.
I thought about it for a long time, since Friday.

Speaker 1 I really do think that Joey Chestnut might be the greatest athlete of all time. Yeah.
I actually broke it down.

Speaker 1 So, 17 titles. His comeback to Coney Island.
He goes 70 and a half dogs. And I was thinking about it.
And I was like, so I'll give you,

Speaker 1 let's just be, let's be liberal with it. Let's say, okay, you say in Bull, Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali.
We'll give you some of those. Secretariat.
Secretariat. Satch Nintendo car.

Speaker 1 But where does it,

Speaker 1 like,

Speaker 1 where does it, where does it, where do we, I think he's a better athlete than Pele. I think, oh, yeah.
I mean, soccer's a team sport. Yeah.

Speaker 1 If you have a couple guys missing from your team in a soccer game, you might not as well even play. I think he's a better athlete than Wayne Gretzky, no offense to the great one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, like, I don't even really consider hockey to be athletics. Yeah.
It's more of just like, you know, it's ice dance. Skating around with the boys.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Where, where is Tom Brady or Joey Chestnut? Tom Brady, but team sports, it is a lot harder. Yeah.
Yeah. I would say.
Like Tiger Woods, I would give over Joey Chestnut. Okay.

Speaker 1 I'm going to, I'm fine with that. I don't, no offense to our good friend Scotty Scheffler.
Joey Chestnut's a better athlete. I think that Joey Chestnut.
Scotty can get there. Scotty could get there.

Speaker 1 It's Joey Chestnut. It's Usain Bolt.
And it's Tiger Woods. Yeah.
That's it for me.

Speaker 1 Would you say Michael Phelps?

Speaker 1 Maybe, but he smoked marijuana. Yeah.
Bad example. So whatever, however, you slice it, he's like top five athlete of all time?

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, what he did on the 4th of July, it was what's so impressive about it is that there's nobody pushing him. No one's pushing him for second place.
So the second closest got, what, like 40

Speaker 1 something? It was a joke. It was not a contest, but he pushes himself because he's that determined of an athlete.
He's intrinsically motivated. Yep.
He wants to be great. He's sustained greatness.

Speaker 1 And so all these are true. And And it's almost 20 years now, 17 titles.
Yep. I was looking at it because when you have

Speaker 1 like, you know, these incredible once-in-a-lifetime athletes, they're like, God, thank God I'm alive to watch this.

Speaker 1 Obviously, people poke holes at it. And they're like, well, he wasn't pushed because he's had to push himself.
People forget, Kobayashi was the greatest of all time in his prime. He was in 2006.

Speaker 1 That was the last time that Joey Chestnut lost to Kobayashi. Kobayashi was 28 years old.
It was a 12-minute hot dog race, and Kobayashi broke the record with 53.5 hot dogs. Yeah.
53 and a half.

Speaker 1 Which was amazing at the time. Amazing.
Here's the button. Line is Kobayashi was eating against plumbers and electricians.
Yep. Joey Chestnut is competing against guys

Speaker 1 that would have Kobayashi and other guys that would have pushed Kobayashi. Right.
So the next year after he lost that in 2006, he won. He beat Joey.
He beat Kobayashi with 66 dogs.

Speaker 1 So he smashed the world record by 13 and a half dogs. He went and was like, it is mine.
Never looked back.

Speaker 1 2008, first ever 10-minute contest. That was the last time Kobayashi pushed him because they had the famous overtime hot dog eatoff.
Yeah. Where

Speaker 1 he finished five dogs in 50 seconds after eating 59 hot dogs.

Speaker 1 And then here's the crazy part because we obviously know 2015, Joey Chestnut gets broken up with a week before, and Matt Stoney beats him 62 to 60. Okay.

Speaker 1 I actually think that's better for his legacy because it shows that he's human. Well, that's also you have one blip.
Let's look at what Matt Stoney was doing for that one year that he showed up.

Speaker 1 It's like Brady Anderson hitting 50 home runs. Yeah, it's a good point.
But then

Speaker 1 here's where Joey Chestnut is the greatest of all time, in my opinion, because he loses that 2015 year and then he comes back and he is the first man ever to eat 70 hot dogs.

Speaker 1 And then what does he do after that? He then beats his own record with 72. Then what does he do after that? He beats his own record with 74.

Speaker 1 Then he has a down year with 71 and and everyone's like, oh shit, he's washed. He's like, ha ha, I'm going to eat 75, and then I'm going to eat 76.
So he keeps pushing himself to that level.

Speaker 1 And then he obviously wasn't there last year. And everyone's like, well, is he washed? He's getting up there in age.
No, 70 and a half dogs. He's the only guy who can eat 70 dogs.

Speaker 1 He's done it like six times. Yeah.
No one's going to touch him. It's the greatest.
He's going to retire when he calls it a day. He's not going to get forced up by anybody.

Speaker 1 There's not going to be anybody that takes the crown from him. In fact, it's going to be a dark day when Joey Chestnut retires from eating.
Oh, it'll be tragic.

Speaker 1 Because the next 4th of July is going to be a guy that wins eating like 43 hot dogs.

Speaker 1 He might actually kill the sport of hot dog eating. Yeah.
Yeah, no, we'll never,

Speaker 1 unless there's a kid out there who's watching this and someday will eat 80 hot dogs.

Speaker 1 We're going to look back and say, hey, we were there for the greatest era of hot dog eating, and it was Joey Chestnut. And again,

Speaker 1 it's coming up on 20 years now of dominance. We don't even have somebody that he could pass the torch to, right? There's no next up.
No. Bonnie Blue? No.
I don't know. No.

Speaker 1 The guy, Badlands, I think he broke the record for most of the lemonade chuck. Badlands Booker's a cool guy.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I got to meet Badlands Booker and Joey Chestnut in a strip club in South Carolina. That sounds like it wasn't.
Back in like 2007. It was great.
They were doing a corned beef cabbage eating contest.

Speaker 1 Love it. They were at the strip club until probably four o'clock in the morning, just getting absolutely shithoused.
That's the thing is, Joey Chestnut.

Speaker 1 I mean, you heard it on Wednesday when we had him on. He gets fucked up after this.
Oh, yeah. I mean, you have to.

Speaker 1 When I competed in this competition, I ate 12 hot dogs and then I just laid on my bed for, I don't know, two days because I felt like such shit. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Joey Chestnut is like, yeah, I'm just going to go booze more than anyone boozes after eating 70 and a half dogs.

Speaker 1 I know that we've done it with the bear, the bear that sits down and eats the hot dogs before.

Speaker 1 But I want to see like animals that can compete head to head against an all-time eater like Joey Chestnut. Like, what animal do you think would be able to accomplish the 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes?

Speaker 1 I don't think it exists.

Speaker 1 Maybe like a

Speaker 1 blue whale just because they could just throw it into its mouth. Yeah, you just meat though.
Yeah. What? They don't eat meat.
Oh, they got the they got plankton? They got the bristles too.

Speaker 1 What's going on in the whale world?

Speaker 1 Just a lot of more cleaning excursions I've seen. It's good to see.
Oh, okay, good. People doing the Lord's work.
AI videos, yeah.

Speaker 1 And then we also had the Joey Chestnut.

Speaker 1 Max tweeted about this, the Embrace Debate. What was it, Max? I love this because this is peak July sports fodder.
Yeah, this was awesome. It was if you have Usain Bolt

Speaker 1 and Joey Chestnut both at the start of a 100-meter race,

Speaker 1 but neither of them are allowed to start the race until they finish a hot dog, who wins? I think Joey Crushes. It's not even close Joey Crushes.
Because you got to think that. What about 400?

Speaker 1 400, and I think it's then it's Usain. What about 200? I think 200 is where it gets close.
I think 200 Usain Bolt would also win. But I think that it switches switches at a mile.

Speaker 1 I think Joey Chestnut beats him. No.

Speaker 1 I don't think so.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Where is the switch coming to?

Speaker 1 I need you to explain the switch. So stay with me here.
Usain Bolt has literally never run a mile in his entire life. Ever?

Speaker 1 That's a fact. He said that on part of my take.
Did he? Yeah. I don't remember his Wi-Fi wasn't great.
He has never run a mile in his entire life. Joey Chestnut, at least he looks like he works out.

Speaker 1 Listen, I actually think Joey Chestnut, like, if you told me Joey Chestnut could run an second 100 yard dash like probably he can do anything he wants right i i wouldn't be shocked i know but i think 200 meters i think usain bolt gets him

Speaker 1 yeah i don't know because you say bolt could probably he could take down the hot dog in what 10 no because remember

Speaker 1 so i was with pft when we were doing this when we were talking about this hypothetical yeah and i tried to eat a hot dog as fast as i could yeah well you're and no offense max but you i know no i was about to say that you're not in as good shape as you say bolt but you're probably what does that have to do with eating a hot dog?

Speaker 1 I think we should do this. How long does it take to eat a hot dog? I got it, it was like 10 seconds in, and I was like,

Speaker 1 I had bitten halfway through it, and I was still chewing. Like, I think it probably takes a normal person like 30 seconds to eat a hot dog.
Can I be honest with you, Max? What?

Speaker 1 Until you just told me right now that you were trying to eat that hot dog as fast as you could, I had no, I thought that's how you just normally eat hot dogs.

Speaker 1 Wait, no water, too, right? No water. Yeah, I think we should do this in Tahoe.
Okay, let's just find a track, or we just do it in a field.

Speaker 1 Let's just all, like six of us, just race one hot dog 100 meters. Yeah.
Just to see how long it would take. Just to see how long it would take.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 they're not averaging either of them.

Speaker 1 I would just like to see the video. Yeah.
I'd like to see the baseline. That would be a fun video.
Yeah. And actually,

Speaker 1 we shouldn't do it head-to-head. We should do time trials because that would make it.
Like everyone watching you eat a hot dog and then sprinting is so awkward.

Speaker 1 That actually should be on the Mount Rushmore of embarrassing moments your your boy's watching you take down a hot dog and sprint but yeah i think i think joey crushes him i don't think it crushes him yeah i think it's no waters

Speaker 1 no waters makes it tough hank will probably puke before he even

Speaker 1 run

Speaker 1 hanks i i can already see it it's gonna be like let's say wednesday morning in tahoe hank's gonna be mad we're gonna do it at like i don't know say 10 a.m hank's gonna be mad that we haven't let him eat yet and then he's gonna be so hungry and mad at us and then he's gonna eat half a hot dog and be like i'm full

Speaker 1 that is your breakfast yeah and then he's gonna be mad at us that we made him too full that's gonna be a fun day i'm excited chill week hey we we made the rule last year chill week we don't we all just chill we don't fight we're in a great mood last year yeah we're gonna do that again we're excited to go out there so yeah i that was a when i saw you tweet about that max like this is just such a perfect like mid-july where there's just nothing like you you can you can basically watch your baseball team and then have hot dog hypotheticals we were at a barbecue we had the entire part the entire party was talking about i love it like i would i i would bring it up to one group of people there were people who were saying you say oh yeah oh yeah there's a lot people a lot of people online were saying it too yeah i'll do respect those people are dumb they don't know dog they're yeah they don't know dog they don't they don't respect to go full circle here they don't respect the greatness of joey chestnut correct they respect young's greatness they don't respect joey chestucks that's the problem and i'm here to say he is top five.

Speaker 1 I'll give you four guys if you want to name him. He's top five athlete of all time.

Speaker 1 I think it's fair. I'd agree.

Speaker 1 Okay, that was my serious topic. Okay, that was a good topic.
Yeah. I have a non-serious topic.
Okay.

Speaker 1 What's up with LeBron?

Speaker 1 Is LeBron going to Cleveland? Is LeBron going to Cleveland? Well,

Speaker 1 I'll throw a couple things out there. One.

Speaker 1 He was golfing

Speaker 1 in Akron, wearing a hat that said, welcome home.

Speaker 1 He reposted, I believe it was the Cavs, former Cavs athletic trainer, maybe, uh, who's like, got to wear the, you know, the best jersey for Independence Day, and it was LeBron James Cavs jersey. Okay,

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 he worked out at the Cavs facility,

Speaker 1 which that should be illegal. If you're the Cavs, why are you letting him do that? Because he's going to be a Cav

Speaker 1 could have just been home for the 4th of July. Oh, listen, I understand that, but he plays for the Lakers and the Cavs let him work out, huh? Hmm, huh? Yeah, see, here it is.
It's a proper

Speaker 1 attire. Proper attire.
I don't know. Is LeBron, is he trying to work his way back to Cleveland? I think that would be good.
Yeah. I would like to see it.

Speaker 1 And also, just throwing one more out there, Bronny.

Speaker 1 I feel like Bronny is starting to.

Speaker 1 I saw a press conference. I was like, hey, is Bronnie kind of getting out from underneath his dad's shadow?

Speaker 1 He was talking about how the only way he's going to make it in this league is just being like a dog defensively, and that's how he's going to see the court.

Speaker 1 Didn't mention the only way I'm going to see the court is playing with my dad for the Lakers. No, he didn't say that.
No, he didn't say that. So, what about LeBron did comment on this? Okay.

Speaker 1 On the 4th of July. What did he say? He said, and every summer since it was built, I live here still and train every summer.

Speaker 1 God damn, y'all bored, man. No, I don't think we're bored.
God damn. I don't think we're bored.
I think he's doing this on purpose. Go get a plate of food somewhere and enjoy the 4th of July.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's doing this on purpose to get everyone talking about it, and then he's going to do it. I think he's going to do it.
I don't think they want him.

Speaker 1 That might be a different conversation. Would you want him on the Celtics? No, fuck no.

Speaker 1 But the Cavs are good, and they could. They also have a lot of good players that the original.
The Cavs are good.

Speaker 1 I know. But they have the, you know,

Speaker 1 the Jared Allen, Evan Mobley. Like, there's a little redundancy there.
Do you think Cavs fans want him? I don't know. I think there's definitely some Cavs fans.
Yes. Yes.

Speaker 1 I think Cavs fans would be completely okay with LeBron coming back to Cleveland.

Speaker 1 I think, especially if they could get a guarantee that it was like, this is it, or maybe two years max, where we don't play the game of,

Speaker 1 are you in or are you out?

Speaker 1 Like, if the Cavs could actually strategically say, we have LeBron for a year, maybe call it two, but that's the plan, and we're not going to do like a song and dance and trading draft picks and doing this whole thing to try to extend LeBron's LeBron's career.

Speaker 1 I have seen. What about Bryce?

Speaker 1 What about him? Bryce Maximus? Arizona? He wants to play with him.

Speaker 1 I've seen some of the hypothetical trades that get thrown out there about LeBron. I don't even know if any of them actually work out.

Speaker 1 I think people just put faces on a graphic and they say, here's a trade that could work, and then hope that we don't plug it into the machine. Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 I don't understand how any trades work. I mean, the Kevin Durant trade, which is 17.
17 trade. It was insane.

Speaker 1 What did you think about LeBron's golf swing? Not bad. Does it feel good knowing that you could absolutely kill LeBron in golf? You could.
It does. Like, you would, you would, you would be.

Speaker 1 It's a bomb blink sport. How long, though? How much training would LeBron need to beat you? Not a lot.
I think it's like a week. I was going to say, like, three months.
I mean,

Speaker 1 he hits the ball hard. Yeah.
Yeah. If he had, and I mean, he'll probably get Tiger Woods to teach him.
He's got a very compact swing. Yeah.
Yeah. I'd take him like two months.
He'd probably be fine.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he, he, I mean, any athlete like LeBron, they go out and they're fucking around. And he's probably by the end of 18 was like, oh, I got a birdie on this.
Holes. Like, how'd that happen?

Speaker 1 How many times when he's playing and he hits a wedge through the guys that he's playing with be like, hey, LaFlop.

Speaker 1 Probably every, you got to say it every time, right?

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm just saying something's up with LeBron. He's at least, he's at least having fun with it.
And I think there's more. I don't think LeBron...

Speaker 1 I think he does these things obviously very much on purpose. I mean, I would respect it if he just goes home with his boys and is like getting fucked up.

Speaker 1 Like, just should I just start posting this stuff? Yeah.

Speaker 1 He might be doing exactly that. But I feel like he's more calculated than that.
When you're with your boys at all, it's like kind of like

Speaker 1 Fourth of July.

Speaker 1 You got the Vino out. Yeah.
You're on the course.

Speaker 1 Cigars.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. So that was, yeah, those are my serious and unserious topics.
Okay, those are good topics. Yeah.
Yeah. What else?

Speaker 1 What else we got going on that we wanted to touch on before we do our QB rankings, which is going to piss people off? What's up, guys?

Speaker 1 It's Big Cat here, making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey. How do you make an Irish entrance? You ask?

Speaker 1 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 1 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt. Age four years in bourbon barrels.
Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 1 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 1 So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.
I just have a quick seeing red on the Nationals. Oh, go for it.
Permission to go there.

Speaker 1 They fired their GM a week before the draft. We've got the number one pick in the MLB draft.

Speaker 1 Our general manager, Rizzo,

Speaker 1 he did a very good job as the general manager working for an owner that would not give him any money to spend. So he was very limited over the course of the years of what he could do.

Speaker 1 He put together a World Series roster, made a great roster, hit on a bunch of great draft picks, and now you're firing him. The speculation is you're firing him because

Speaker 1 you're selling the team and you want to get every single front office contract off the books right now. So they fired Davey Martinez, the manager, also World Series champion.

Speaker 1 And then the surprise, though, was firing Rizzo, the general manager.

Speaker 1 I don't know what you expect this guy to do. Like, you can't, you couldn't sign Juan Soto.
You couldn't sign Trey Turner to a long-term contract.

Speaker 1 Couldn't sign Bryce Harper to a long-term contract all because of money. Right.

Speaker 1 Not because of anything that Rizzo did. And he did a great job getting everything he possibly could get for Soto.
Like two hours before they announced that they fired him.

Speaker 1 MLB announced the all-star rosters. And two of the guys that we got for Juan Soto are on the all-star roster for the first time.
It was

Speaker 1 James Wood. He did a great job.
It doesn't make any sense blaming any of the failures of the team on that guy. That's what I don't like.
I agree with all of that, except for

Speaker 1 I think firing him before the draft, you can't let him make the pick. If you're going to fire him, he's already done all the work, though.
Yeah, but you can't let him make the pick.

Speaker 1 You got to just be like, you got to get out of here.

Speaker 1 Like, if they were saying to themselves, we're going to fire him at the end of the year, just get him out before the draft.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but like firing a a GM because you didn't give him enough money to spend on good stuff. No, I agree.
That's like divorcing your wife because you got fat. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, being like, why, like, what's wrong? She gained, you know, two pounds, you gained 50 pounds. You gained 50 pounds.
Yeah, we've gained a lot of weight. Yeah.
Cumulatively. Yeah,

Speaker 1 that is pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 I don't like it. But I guess I'm hoping that it means that they're going to sell the team soon, and that's why this is all happening.
But yeah, just bad. I don't like it.

Speaker 1 Can I, dovetailing off the all-star thing? Say a Suzuki should have been an all-star. He got snubbed.
He got what? What, Max? Because it was Schwerber?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 I mean, there was a lot of snubs this year. All right, give us some snubs.

Speaker 1 Trey Turner leads the league in hits, and he didn't even get a reserve spot. Says Suzuki leads the LBL in RBIs, fourth in home runs, 12th in OPS.
Stud. He should have been.

Speaker 1 Also, Christopher Sanchez should have been in over Mackenzie Gore. That makes no sense.

Speaker 1 I like this.

Speaker 1 He has more wins. He has a lower ERA.

Speaker 1 We're going up. Michael Bush should have probably been.

Speaker 1 He has lower ERA

Speaker 1 and a lower whip.

Speaker 1 You don't even know what WIP is.

Speaker 1 I do know what WIP is.

Speaker 1 Say it. It's what you put on your pot.
There we go.

Speaker 1 Wall's hits per inning pick. That's right.
I know exactly what WIP is. You probably don't even know what Babbit is.

Speaker 1 We talk about Babbip on the show all the time.

Speaker 1 That's like the one thing we know. It's the best stat for losers.

Speaker 1 No, yeah. Christopher Sanchez not being in is ridiculous.
Trey Turner not being in his ridiculous. Sey Suzuki not being in his ridiculous.
Whatever. Just put everyone in.
Put everyone in.

Speaker 1 Who can get in? Make a loaded roster. Yeah.
Everyone gets in that bat.

Speaker 1 Doesn't matter. You don't even have to give guys the bats.
Nah, I get pissed off when. You don't like that? I have a question.
If it's your guy

Speaker 1 and you wait the whole game and they don't get in.

Speaker 1 I have a question.

Speaker 1 They haven't announced the full Home Run Derby roster yet, have they? They have not. It's trickling out.

Speaker 1 What's the current? Zach, could you Google what the current list is?

Speaker 1 We have some guys that I feel good about. We got Kunya.
Yep. Cal Raleigh.
Yep. Big Dumper.

Speaker 1 James Wood. Yep.

Speaker 1 No, PCA is not in it.

Speaker 1 But my question was going to be.

Speaker 1 Because when I tweeted out about James Wood being the home run derby, memes said, announce Yelich in the Derby. Memes, do you want

Speaker 1 to see

Speaker 1 me and Big Cat? But memes,

Speaker 1 you know your job would be.

Speaker 1 You wouldn't have a job. Why? Because the show would end.
The last scene of this show would be us eating each other's ass. We can't come back from it.
It'd be over. You have to do a follow-up podcast.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. No.

Speaker 1 It would be like, it would be like numbers. Oh, and one last thing.
I got to eat PFT's ass, and that's it. It'd be over.
It'd be the best sign-off of all time. You're rooting for your own demise.

Speaker 1 I'm rooting for him to participate. But when the show ends, are you going to be like,

Speaker 1 you're going to be Tim Robinson hot dog meme?

Speaker 1 Like, we're all trying to find a guy who did this. You guys did this.
Well, yeah, but we're trying to not be fair so much to

Speaker 1 Yellow. To be fair, Big Cat asking for Yellich to be in it.
Big Cat.

Speaker 1 Big Cat did it.

Speaker 1 I, being a good co-host, did some yes and

Speaker 1 where you roll along with it

Speaker 1 before you know what you say, and then you realize everything that you've said, and then you're fucked. The real pervert, the real sicko, is memes who literally wants to watch this.

Speaker 1 Also, we did it for that Christian Yellich, who had never hit 20 home runs. Yeah, not this Christian Yellich.

Speaker 1 You think he's going to do it? He's not in it, yeah. No.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Think of that live stream. Oh.

Speaker 1 He's not going to. Should we call him and ask him?

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 I don't want to give him the pleasure of

Speaker 1 trying to hold this over. You're right.
You're right. Oh, God.
Memes. Memes is addicted to it.

Speaker 1 I'm going to say this right now.

Speaker 1 Hank's best friend,

Speaker 1 Gaz, who listens to every part of my take. Shout out Gaz, big time AWL.
Stats and info. He does stats and info.
He also runs all of our, he's head of all of our social at Barcelona Sports.

Speaker 1 I want to say right now, Gaz, if Christian Yellic competes in the home run derby and wins a home run derby, all of Memes' tweets should not count for his socials.

Speaker 1 Like, all of the numbers he racks up do not count for me. Throw him out.
He's reports. Throw him out.
Because those are ours. Give it to us.

Speaker 1 Those are passion numbers. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 The numbers he rack up.

Speaker 1 He just.

Speaker 1 And then I actually think

Speaker 1 memes actually it would make us lose followers. Yeah, and I also think memes.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm actually thinking about it right now. Memes, I think, will ascend to a higher being.
What is it? Buddhism or

Speaker 1 what is it? Satosis? No, Mormon. Mormonism.
No, they ascend to a higher level. Scientology.
Yeah, Scientology. Memes will ascend to a higher level when it's me eating PFT's ass.

Speaker 1 And then memes makes both of our faces max. And that's it.
Yeah. That's it.
That's memes' final. That's his final note.

Speaker 1 He makes your butthole max.

Speaker 1 Oh man. He's not competing, right? Listen, thank God Cal Raleigh's in there because we needed that.
Cal Raleigh is amazing. James Woodam be the biggest James Wood guy.
James Wood's great. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't mind if. You guys just have to get a jersey like a self-player jersey.

Speaker 1 Rooting for everybody. Every other player.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Every guy.

Speaker 1 He's not going to do it. I'm not crazy if he.
Oh.

Speaker 1 Oh, that was. No, I think M.L.B.

Speaker 1 Hurt is back. I think they're going to slowly roll it out, and then he's going to be the last person announced.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the 2019 home run derby roster, he was the number one seed going into it, and then he hurt his back. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You don't want to hurt your back again, Christian. No, you don't.
Oh, since we're talking ball, we should

Speaker 1 say

Speaker 1 that it's kind of a who's back, but

Speaker 1 guys betting on their own team, Luis Ortiz, for the Guardians. Yep.

Speaker 1 Of all the gambling stories that have come out

Speaker 1 of

Speaker 1 who's the

Speaker 1 Geontae Porter, Malik Beasley is obviously going through it right now.

Speaker 1 This one is very funny in just the simple fact that they have two pitches that alerted all the systems and then showing the pitches. He just throws it 40 feet.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And he just told his boys, like, dude, hammer ball to start this inning. It's pretty blatant, pretty obvious.
It's a tough one for him to have to try to get out of. So he's on paid leave right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So they're investigating.
What is the investigation going to entail?

Speaker 1 I don't know. Just like, hey, you did this, right? Yeah.
This is real video, right? Yeah, this is. He should be like, it's AI.
Well, no, they got to track it back to him.

Speaker 1 I mean, first pitch ball was like.

Speaker 1 But these were such egregious balls.

Speaker 1 First pitch of the inning, yeah.

Speaker 1 They weren't even close. Some people were saying they're setup pitches, yeah.
That's true.

Speaker 1 Set up your boys

Speaker 1 for a great day. So, yeah, I guess just a shitload of people bet on those certain pitches.
Yeah, and those are obviously bets that are, I would imagine, don't have a ton of action.

Speaker 1 So, when there's a spike, it's pretty easy for them to be like, hey, what the fuck's going on here? Yeah, watching it side by side is very funny. Very funny.

Speaker 1 Okay, what any other baseball stuff? Baseball's

Speaker 1 just rocking, right? Baseball's just going. Cubs are fucking eight home runs on July 4th.
That was sick. That was pretty great.
That was a pretty cool thing to do.

Speaker 1 Dingers only, if you missed it, we all have our teams

Speaker 1 and we're

Speaker 1 smashing dingers. What are the live standings? Do you have them, memes? Shout out to AWLs who have live trackers.
There's a couple guys out there that put out good live trackers.

Speaker 1 Oh, here we go. Hunter Whitlow.
Shout out Hunter Whitlow. Right now, we have

Speaker 1 in

Speaker 1 first place.

Speaker 1 It is a tie. Stephen Shea, Hank, Jersey Jerry.
No, Brandon. Oh, no Jerry.
Yeah, Jerry with 10 home runs. And then me, Brandon, and Max with nine.

Speaker 1 And then in the rear is Zach with seven and PFT with six. I got off to a good start.

Speaker 1 Haven't had my best last couple games. Well, it's only been four days, so

Speaker 1 you can say you got off to a good start when you're last. No, a really good start in the first like two days of the league.
Yeah. You got off to, yeah, the first day.

Speaker 1 And has anybody used, Jersey Jerry used his IR spot? He did. He dropped.
His pedophile spot is still remained standing. Yes.
It absolutely remains standing.

Speaker 1 I think he picked up Kyle Stowers from the Marlins, friend of the program. Nice pick.
Oh, no, Colton Kowser from the Orioles. Sorry.
Colton Kowser from the Orioles,

Speaker 1 who is a great dude. And Max still hasn't done the challenge.
Max still hasn't done the challenge. That's right.

Speaker 1 If there's any baseball teams in Tahoe, Nobody cares who's in last place because apparently you don't have to do the punishment. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Kind of missing. That's a really good point.
Yeah, kind of meaningless. I'm in last.
That's a really good point. PFT.
Remind me. How long did it take you to do the perm?

Speaker 1 Did I do the perm? Oh, okay, okay. Yeah.
Did I do the perm? Oh, oh, okay, yeah. Did he perm? Did I perm? Yeah, and it took longer, much longer than this.
I don't think it did. Yes, it did.

Speaker 1 I don't think so. Oh, yes, it did.
It took well over a year. It also

Speaker 1 did nothing for a year. Yeah, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 And the tattoo took forever, too.

Speaker 1 That's not true. Yes.

Speaker 1 I did mine pretty quickly. It took about a year.
PFT.

Speaker 1 Yes. And it ended my second influence.
This hasn't even been a year yet. I did the tattoo and the perm, I think, on the same day.
Correct. Or the same week.

Speaker 1 Did I do it? Yeah, I'm going to do it. Okay.
You know what? PFT, let me tap me in here. Max, it's bullshit that you haven't done this yet.
Okay.

Speaker 1 So you can't say anything to me. Yeah.
Yeah. That's what I thought.
You should do it.

Speaker 1 I'm going. I'm going to.
You should do it right now.

Speaker 1 Hit me up. Hit my line.
Oh,

Speaker 1 another baseball topic. What? San Diego State? USA.
USDSD.

Speaker 1 USD.

Speaker 1 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 1 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 1 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, Hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration to upgrade your spread visit your local boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd boarshead committed to craft since 1905 What do we think about Alvin Kamara asking for a redo on first pitch?

Speaker 1 That was crazy. I don't think you should be allowed to do that.
You can't. Athletes are perfectionists.
But you can't do a redo. Yeah, you got to abide by the tape you put out there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a crazy thing to be like, hey, let me let me have another shot of it. I did the bullpen before, dude.
You get a reboot, you get a redo if you if you fumble.

Speaker 1 Nope, nope, well, unless they overturn it, yeah.

Speaker 1 Also, shout out Clark, the Cubs mascot. Yeah, made two great catches on Alvin Kabar turkey balls.
He did, but yeah, you can't get a redo. This is bullshit.
It does no redos.

Speaker 1 It does concern me that Clark doesn't wear pants. He's got dong.
He's just dong hanging. He lays some dong.
Uh, okay.

Speaker 1 Should we talk about Zach being everywhere? Talk about Max being back-ish.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, we should. Our guy, Max Homo, almost won the John Deere Classic, which is the fifth major.

Speaker 1 That sucked. It was tough.
Tough couple bogeys. I think I liked the guy, Brian Campbell.
Great weekend. Big 10 guy.
I think I liked him. So, but yeah.
I was rooting against him hard.

Speaker 1 I was, but I'm saying

Speaker 1 once he got to the

Speaker 1 Playoff, I wasn't going to root for the foreign guy. I do think that counts as Max being back though, right? I think at the very least

Speaker 1 he shot a 63 on Friday or Thursday 63 and then he had a 68, 68, 68. So I think at the very least, Max, he found something.
He did. He found something.
He's going to golf is a mental game. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I was rooting so hard. It would have been awesome.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Zach is everywhere. So this happened over the week that we were gone.
Can you pull that up real quick? It was wanted. Have you seen this person, Matthew Allen?

Speaker 1 Shreveport police are searching for Matthew Allen, accused of stealing nearly $49,000, including $7,000 in charges to OnlyFans

Speaker 1 and using a business credit card. He faces theft and fraud charges.
And this just is Zach without glasses on. And then a bunch of dudes just started replying.

Speaker 1 And Zach is, is he the most common looking dude out there? Like the generic American? Yeah. I don't get it.
You're every man. Yeah, so there's a guy.
Who's this guy? Florida man.

Speaker 1 What is this guy? That's Shreveport man. This guy ranks stuff.
He ranks. This guy will eat entire menus of fast food places.
Wait, Zach, that's as little.

Speaker 1 No, but

Speaker 1 in as little amounts of bites as possible. Wait, can we watch one of these? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's awesome.

Speaker 1 Zach, that is your thing.

Speaker 1 Alternate timelines. Yeah, we're just fractionally off each one.

Speaker 1 We do look shockingly alike.

Speaker 1 My build might just be pretty basic.

Speaker 1 Low VC on that. We might have to do a ZachCon.
How do they know that this guy spent the money on OnlyFans?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 This feels like it might be an OnlyFans advertisement. It was a business card, you said, right? A business credit card.
Oh, he used his company card.

Speaker 1 Is that not allowed? Blow up OnlyFans. Like, we don't know what his job is, right? That's true.
So

Speaker 1 he just houses these things.

Speaker 1 That's all he does.

Speaker 1 I love the internet. Right now, he's 16 items through Arby's, and he's done it in 20 bytes.

Speaker 1 Holy shit. This is awesome.
I actually had. What's his record? Has he done like a whole menu? Yeah, I think he did Taco Bell.

Speaker 1 Let me see.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and his name is Djack, which is crazy. This is when, so

Speaker 1 I have a lot of moments. I don't know if you guys feel the same way, but with AI, with the state of the internet, with everyone just being dicks all the time, you're like, was this really worth it?

Speaker 1 Should we have done this? Is the internet worth it? But then guys like this come along. I'm like, yeah, you know what? I wouldn't have known this guy existed.
We need this.

Speaker 1 I think this is actually what makes America great, is that you can get rich, you can get famous by simply eating fast food in your car. Yeah.
That's a level of celebrity that you can have.

Speaker 1 Wait, Hank, you pointed out this guy's name is Zach, right? Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So this, I don't understand how this is. So, right, he's going through the entire.
This is the last day of the Taco Bell

Speaker 1 menu, and he's got the nacho Bel Grande and a cheese quesadilla, but he put the nacho Bel Grande in the cheese quesadilla. I've watched this video before.
I think he does it in three bites.

Speaker 1 So it's two items, three bites. Yeah, he's making turducken out of the Taco Bell menu.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So what did he end up doing the whole Taco Bell menu? Let's see. Let's get to the final stats here.
52 items at Taco Bell, 106 bites.

Speaker 1 I think it took him 14 days. That's incredible.

Speaker 1 Pull up the menu again, real quick. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He also ranks them of which he thinks are the tastiest.

Speaker 1 Pull up that menu. Zach,

Speaker 1 you need to do a video with this guy. But

Speaker 1 there's no pleasure. He's not eating for pleasure there.
He just, that's all. No, no, I think it's a good thing.
I know I think he enjoys it. Yeah, it's a good thing.
Okay, fair. I misspoke there.

Speaker 1 No, you didn't miss me.

Speaker 1 I got different opinions.

Speaker 1 Can I see the cheesy fiesta potatoes? That's the one I want to see.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm going to.

Speaker 1 This isn't like a table of contents that I can look at. Yeah, that's a ranking.
That's a last place. Yeah, this is his ranking.
This is his ranking of. No, no, no, that's not last place.
There's two

Speaker 1 pictures.

Speaker 1 There's two slides here. Oh, that's right in the middle.
Yeah, 26. There's 52 items.
Yeah. The cheese case dia was last place, actually.

Speaker 1 But he had Bel Grande in it. I know.
I don't understand how he does that because he has a Bel Grande at 37, but the Cheese Case Dia at 52, and he ate them both together. Shout out, Zach.

Speaker 1 He's back, I guess.

Speaker 1 Great back. Great plug for you.
National Sports Podcast. We're hitting it at all.
Zach, how minor of a disagreement

Speaker 1 would you be like, I misspoke?

Speaker 1 Because that was crazy. That just happened.
You literally just had a differing opinion, and then you said, no, you know what?

Speaker 1 I'm going to lay down here and say I didn't mean to say that. It just some felt like I was blatantly wrong there.
The room said, hey, don't fucking say that. And I was like, all right.

Speaker 1 You guys just did it in a nice way. And I was like, all right.
I apologize to the room.

Speaker 1 Hey, Zach, don't apologize.

Speaker 1 I can do that. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Work on that. You got a lot of things you're working on.

Speaker 1 Don't we all? Yeah. All right, sweet.
Are there more Zach's underneath that? There's a lot of Zach. There is a Zach that is Zach.
That's

Speaker 1 these guys. I don't even know.
You're just everywhere, Zach.

Speaker 1 So, OnlyFans and eating in the least amount of bites possible. That's the Zach way.
I was not a restorative fraud to that first guy.

Speaker 1 Probably not me. Yeah.
Not a rest of a fraud. Yeah.
Probably not me. We need to do a Zach con.

Speaker 1 I need to get you with this. This Zach is back guy, though.
He's impressive. Absolute eater.
Shout out to him. Especially if you just do the.
It would be great if you did the McDonald's menu with him.

Speaker 1 And then when it came to the 20 nuggets, two double cheeseburgers, two fries, but you're just taking as many bites as you want.

Speaker 1 And he's just disgusted with it uh all right should we do uh should we do our qb rankings yeah this is where it's gonna get spicy let's piss everyone off let's piss everyone off all right so before we do that uh falls here kids are back in school vacations are over and cozy season is officially on you know what that means bombus season is on bombas makes the most comfortable socks ever and they even make slippers tees underwear all crafted from premium materials perfect for this time of year and cozying up for football watching their slippers are also Sherpa lined, which feels like you're walking on the clouds.

Speaker 1 Bombus really has it all. And if you head over to bombas.com/slash audio, you can use the code audio for 20% off your first purchase.
That's B-O-M-B-A-S.com/slash audio. Code audio at checkout.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 How do we want to do this? I got some tears. I have some tears as well.
I think we got to just go down. And if anyone in the room has a major issue with a ranking, we can discuss.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Because there's, I think a lot of the guys are within, we'll have like within two or three of each other. Yep.
Does that feel fair?

Speaker 1 Max? I like tears for the graphic. I think tiers for the graphic.
I think tiers on the graphic slaps. Okay, but we also have to rank them.
Yeah. Yeah.
All right, so let's start with the elites here.

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 1 Josh Allen. I think Josh Allen should be one.
I had Josh Allen number one. Coming off of the MVP,

Speaker 1 I had Josh Allen one, Patrick Mahomes two. Yep.
Lamar three. Mahomes might be washed.
I had. Oh.

Speaker 1 Go on. Please.

Speaker 1 He didn't play great at the end of the year. They choked in the Super Bowl.
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 Should we put that on the graphic? Hank thinks he might be washed. We're doing washed now.
No, it's our graphic, right? Yeah. Yeah.
But the graphic, the tier can be, Hank thinks he might be washed.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 1 You know what we could do? We could have, we'll do, we'll put Patrick Mahomes number two in elite, and then we could put him again

Speaker 1 wherever you think he should be.

Speaker 1 I think it's Josh Allen Lamar. I mean, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson.
But you see what I'm saying? Like,

Speaker 1 if you have Patrick Mahomes like 10, we could have Hanks rank Hank's tier is Hank's ranking of Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, I mean, I thought we were doing this together, but that's fine.
That's fine. Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. All right.
So Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes. So you think it should be Lamar? Yeah.
All right.

Speaker 1 I actually had a category of if he had Lamar's defense, he would have two rings, and that's Joe Joe Burrow.

Speaker 1 I just had him in elite. Okay.

Speaker 1 I think those are the four. Those are the four.
I think those are the four elite.

Speaker 1 What's the next tier called? I think it's called Jaden Daniels. I think that's the tier.

Speaker 1 Well, this is where it's going to get interesting. I did have Jaden Daniels five.

Speaker 1 I watched an hour of his highlights on the 4th of July as the fireworks were going off, and I was blitz, drunk, hammered. It was the best hour of my week.
Okay. I was crying.
So

Speaker 1 you think it's just Jaden Daniels five? I think just, yeah,

Speaker 1 he's five. Okay.
And then what's the tier after that?

Speaker 1 By the way, memes misspelled Jaden Daniels' name or whoever's titanium.

Speaker 1 Disrespect. Oh, that was.
Oh, that was Max, who then wrote Jalen Hurts. Put that on the list.
Interesting. I'm putting that on.
I'm making a list.

Speaker 1 Can win a Super Bowl with them? I've got technically Super Bowl champions as my next tier. So that would be Matthew Stafford.
Matt Stafford, Joe Flacco,

Speaker 1 and Jalen Hurts. I like that.
Russell Wilson. You could put Aaron Russell Wilson.
Oh, you could put Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers.
Technically, Super Bowl champions. Yeah, Super Bowl champions.

Speaker 1 Okay, six. So yeah, do it.
Jalen Hurts. What are you doing? What are you typing, memes? No, I'm typing.

Speaker 1 PFD was just saying names there. Are we actually listing it in that order?

Speaker 1 Six as the order I had. Yeah, six is Matthew Stafford.

Speaker 1 Seven is

Speaker 1 Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers, yeah.
Okay, yeah. Yeah, we don't want people to think we're joking.
Yeah, yeah. Eight is Flacco.
Yeah. Then nine is Jalen Hurts.
Yep. Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 I don't think he can be in there. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't think he's in there.

Speaker 1 But it's the technically Super Bowl champions tier.

Speaker 1 But technically, he lost his ring. And it also was Seattle's defense, technically.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.
So we're at 10.

Speaker 1 You know what I realized putting this this list together? There's a lot of good quarterbacks in the NFL. There are.

Speaker 1 I also will get to them later, but I was

Speaker 1 like doing it.

Speaker 1 So to do this exercise, I did it actually how I feel, and then I messed around with it a little bit. But how I felt, we were getting to like the 20s before we got to one Dakota Rain Prescott.

Speaker 1 And then I went, and then I went because I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anyone. Yep.
And I googled QB rankings for 2025.

Speaker 1 Pro football focus where do you think they had dak prescott 18 17 exactly where we had him last year

Speaker 1 all right so but but you're right dude the list like i said it was i tried to make it work at 17.

Speaker 1 yeah it doesn't i couldn't make it the 17th best anymore all right so this is this next tier what do you want to call it

Speaker 1 this is this is good quarterbacks that that's a great name for it yeah good quarterbacks jared jared jared jared is uh there could be even great quarterbacks yeah great quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 Great quarterbacks. Jared?

Speaker 1 Baker. At 11.
Baker at 12.

Speaker 1 I had.

Speaker 1 Wait, who's at 10? 10 is Jared.

Speaker 1 Jared Goff. Okay.
Okay, I got it.

Speaker 1 11 is Baker.

Speaker 1 I had C.J. Stroud there.
Yep. At 12.

Speaker 1 I had C.J. Stroud.
I had Brock Purdy. I had Brock Purdy, too.

Speaker 1 And then I had Herbert and Trevor Lawrence. I had one more in that list.
Bo Nix. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 I'm a Bow Leaver. Okay.

Speaker 1 Bo Nix is in there.

Speaker 1 That feels like a stretch, but.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Great. We're halfway through.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
Bo Nick's great. You want to say good quarterbacks? I thought he's in a different tier.
I think good quarterbacks might start

Speaker 1 after after Herbert. After Herbert Blackburn, yeah, go 15 Trevor Lawrence at good quarterbacks, 16 Bo Nicks.

Speaker 1 I feel good about that.

Speaker 1 Brock Purdy, I also great quarterbacks to stretch. I mean, he went to a Super Bowl.
He was in the MVP discussion. And he would have gone to another if the Eagles didn't injure him.

Speaker 1 Probably would have won. Probably would have won.

Speaker 1 Fact for fiction.

Speaker 1 You can't disagree with us on this one. No, that's a fact.

Speaker 1 It doesn't make him a great quarterback. We box you in on that one, buddy.

Speaker 1 That's a stone-cold fact. All right.
In the next category, I have a special category of, I think this guy is going to be really good.

Speaker 1 Okay. Do you know who's in that? Drake May.
Drake May. Okay.
But he wasn't first in that.

Speaker 1 Who? Caleb. Pander.
Oh. Pander.
Caleb. Pander.
And then

Speaker 1 I have Caleb. down.
He's got to prove it. He's got to prove it.
I think he's going to be good, though. But Drake's proven more than he has so far.
I mean, that's statistically.

Speaker 1 I don't know if that's true. Yeah, what do you mean by that, Hank? Like, what do you mean? Maybe per start.
I don't know. Per start.

Speaker 1 Did you think about per start? Like,

Speaker 1 Caleb still had a statistically very good year. He just, for a rookie quarterback, he just was on a bad team, and Jaden Daniels was significantly better.

Speaker 1 Are you looking it up? Are you getting in the stats right now? I mean, Hank might be right. I well, I get Drake May played less.
That's what I'm saying, per game. Oh, per game.
Okay.

Speaker 1 All right, let's pull it up.

Speaker 1 I was going to wait to skip to some of the second-year guys because I think there's a group of guys

Speaker 1 that are kind of in that middle weird spot where you're like, I think they're good, but I don't know. And it's the Kyler Murrays.
Oh, I had Kyler down this year. It's Jordan Love.
Jordan Love, it's

Speaker 1 Tua, Sam Darnold, Gino, like that whole mess where it's like, I think they're pretty good. No, it's still Kable a little bit.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Thanks. You're welcome.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. So, so go

Speaker 1 with the next tier will be

Speaker 1 game to game. I think it's a game to game, the game to game.
Because Gino can have a great game. Yeah, we'll change.
Just have it say, we'll change these rankings game to game.

Speaker 1 And it's Gino,

Speaker 1 Sam Darnold, Jordan Love. Jordan Love.

Speaker 1 So 17 would be Jordan Love. 18, Geno.

Speaker 1 Yep, I'm fine with that. Although Sam Darnold took his job.
All right, we're all over the place back here. But

Speaker 1 what are you guys doing? Well, Memes had to step out so that it threw everything off. Why did he have to step out?

Speaker 1 I had to run and get water. Yeah, he's

Speaker 1 Sam Darnold took his job, but then also the Raiders didn't want Sam Darnold. They wanted Gino.
True. So Gino took Sam Darnold's job, too.
That's true.

Speaker 1 Are we still, so we're keeping, we're doing Caleb, then? No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 We're just it's we're crossing that out. That will come after.
Got it. Got it.

Speaker 1 I feel good about this. All right.
So, so

Speaker 1 17 is going to be

Speaker 1 Jordan Love.

Speaker 1 18. What do we decide? Geno Smith or Sam Darnold?

Speaker 1 The last two games from Sam were really bad. They were really bad.
They were really bad. Can we tie?

Speaker 1 I'm fine with doing Geno. Okay.
Geno,

Speaker 1 19, Sam Darnold. 20.

Speaker 1 Who would you rather have on your team right now?

Speaker 1 Gino or Sam? Yeah. Sam.
Sam. Maybe Gino.
I don't know. When are we getting into our friend Dakota here?

Speaker 1 I'm telling you, it's hard. He's not there.
He's this. All right, wait, wait, so 20?

Speaker 1 Max, he's not there. I think 20.
I would rather have,

Speaker 1 I'm a Dak hater. I would rather have Dak than Darnold.
We got to go 20, Tua.

Speaker 1 Tua is game-to-game. Tua is very much.
He's game-to-game as you get. He's the definition of game to game.
He actually should be number one in Cash. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Then 21.

Speaker 1 Yeah. 21, Bryce Young.
I don't hate Bryce Young. He played really good last year at times.
And then 22, Kyler. Yep.
And then what tier?

Speaker 1 And then Dak. Then Dak.
Then Dak 22. Dak has his own tier.
Okay. Just the Dak tier at 23?

Speaker 1 No, it's the accurate ranking tier. Yep.
23 Tak Prescott.

Speaker 1 That's a good take.

Speaker 1 Now we get to some tough ones. Now, I think is where you put the second year guys being like, this is the,

Speaker 1 it's basically the

Speaker 1 could be good.

Speaker 1 Put up or shut up. Put up or shut up here.

Speaker 1 Facts. I apologize, facts.

Speaker 1 All right, put up or shut up.

Speaker 1 We'll maybe change that on the graphic because that doesn't, it's still their second year. I think it's Caleb,

Speaker 1 Drake,

Speaker 1 Michael Pennix, JJ McCarthy. That sounds good.
I do think it is very much put up or shut up for Caleb. Oh, yeah, definitely.
But it's not for J.J. McCarthy and Michael Penix.

Speaker 1 I think it should be like, this is a big year for them. We'll fine-tune it.
All right.

Speaker 1 Anthony Richardson? I just had him as 32. Yeah,

Speaker 1 he's technically like you would fit in that group, but. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Bad question mark. I like that.
Just Anthony Richardson. No, I think that's the perfect last ranking.
There's five guys left. I guess Cam Ward you could put into the group of guys.

Speaker 1 I didn't put any, yeah, no rookies. Because you could also put the entire Saints quarterback situation on.
Yeah. All right.
So badge should just be Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Anthony Richardson.

Speaker 1 I think those are pretty good rankings. Okay, I've got one

Speaker 1 change to make. Okay.

Speaker 1 I think in the put-up or shut-up,

Speaker 1 we might want to do Daniel Jones. Oh, yeah, I like that.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Daniel Jones for sure. Like after, maybe after Pennex.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Daniel Jones, absolutely. Because Daniel Jones.
He's basically a second-year quarterback. I might even put him over Dak.
He spent six months.

Speaker 1 He spent six months with Kevin O'Connell. What's better? What's better? Spending six months with Kevin O'Connell or spending six months with Brian Schottenheimer?

Speaker 1 Yeah, you know what? Make the accurate ranking tier just be 23, Daniel Jones, 24 Dak.

Speaker 1 I've been thinking about Daniel Jones a lot the last couple of weeks. I love ranking quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 I think Daniel Jones might come back. I agree.
I love ranking quarterbacks, though, especially this time of year.

Speaker 1 Just putting them up there, getting into debates with yourself. These are pretty good.

Speaker 1 These are pretty good. All right.

Speaker 1 So it's weird. I want to be honest with you guys.
Yeah. I wouldn't be upset if you dropped Jaden down.
I have him personally as number five. I had him as five on my rankings.
I did.

Speaker 1 Hank? You had a good year. Anyone want to? I want all the Jaden Daniels hype going into this year.
I want everyone talking about how good he is. You'll get it.
Yep. You'll get it, big boy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you actually get it twice because you have to listen to it, then you have to edit it. Yeah, and then

Speaker 1 no. Well, you know.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 We'll see. Sophomore slums happen.

Speaker 1 Are you saying you're not going to edit the show anymore? No, what?

Speaker 1 I'm saying I want to show you the last time. I want the national media last.

Speaker 1 I want the national media to hype you the fuck up. Oh, you're saying you might not have to listen to it twice much past like September.
Well,

Speaker 1 I'm, there's a lot of hype. A lot of hype.
Interesting. A lot of hype against the worst rec, against the worst schedule in the year last year.

Speaker 1 Guess what? Just saying.

Speaker 1 You're talking to a big Jaden Daniels fan, so you're going to hear a lot of hype from that. I know.
I know. Oh, you're not the only one hype.
You want it? I want it. All right.

Speaker 1 Well, again, I'm making a list. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We all are. This is the list.
Jaden Daniels, top five quarterback, without question.

Speaker 1 Without question. Also, please save that as a graphic and as a sound bite that I can listen to.
Yeah. Yep.
Jalen Hurts, barely top 10. No, no Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Yeah, barely top 10.

Speaker 1 That's what I think.

Speaker 1 Should we change Joe Flacco?

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no. We have to.
Because Joe Flacco makes it seem.

Speaker 1 I want some people to look at the list. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Take Joe Flacco.

Speaker 1 Bump him down to good quarterbacks. That's perfect.
At the bottom of good quarterbacks. Good quarterback.

Speaker 1 Or game to game. He should be in game to game.
Game to game. Game to game.
He knows that. That's no disrespect.
We love Joe. That's no disrespect to Joe.
Game to game.

Speaker 1 It's even further down. Max.
Max, how long did it take you in college to write paper?

Speaker 1 This is difficult what you're having me do right now.

Speaker 1 You're also just,

Speaker 1 you're just telling someone to go into a tier without telling me where to put them in the tier. I was in the game tier.

Speaker 1 But you're not giving me a number. At the bottom of it.
But you're not giving me a number. So what do I do? 22.
22. There you go.
Three. Oh shit.
That just bumped. That just bumped Dak to.

Speaker 1 Oh no, he already was 20.

Speaker 1 I like that you spelled Jordan from Jordan Love, Jordan.

Speaker 1 That's how I think every Jordan is spelled these days. Change the game.

Speaker 1 This is a great list.

Speaker 1 I think the put-up or shut-up should just be too early to tell that way people because then then people will look at it and be like okay that makes sense i think this is a great list

Speaker 1 oh man wait we only have 30 we don't have the saints quarterback oh just put 32 saints quarterback whoever they start 32 whoever they start no no no it's own tier saints quarterback 32 whoever they start

Speaker 1 that feels good that feels really good all right uh should you do Who's Back a Week and get to Mount Rushmore? It's just good to talk about football. It feels great.

Speaker 1 I was daydreaming about football the other day. Again, just thinking about week one.
So excited. Just watching highlights,

Speaker 1 seeing the grass. Do you know what's so sick? I have, I'm basically, my daydreaming is when

Speaker 1 sitting there week one

Speaker 1 and PFT, you're going to say, like, there's just so much going on, our eyes aren't used to it. And then I'm going to be like, we're back.
Lock in.

Speaker 1 And then unfortunately in my daydream so i have this daydream of us coming in still warm out sitting down watching like a quarter on all the seven tvs you saying that line me thinking we're back and then nikki smokes saying something so fucking stupid and me getting upset and then being like now we're really back jerry walking out at halftime yeah Jerry being like, I need this fullback to score three touchdowns.

Speaker 1 Season's over. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Man, I'll tell you what.
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 1 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 1 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 1 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.
All right. Hank, who's back of the week? My who's back of the week is me busting holes in Tiffany's wall.
Oh,

Speaker 1 Jerry, this happened over the break. Jerry O'Connell, master milker of bits.

Speaker 1 Oh, that was really rude.

Speaker 1 He went to Tiffany's house in Dallas. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Posted a video, full play-by-play. Jerry came in her backyard.

Speaker 1 It just went everywhere. It went mega viral.
I had people, I didn't even see it at first. I had someone come up to me and ask me about it.
I was like, what are you you talking about?

Speaker 1 That was two years ago. I have a question for you.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Has anyone gone and done a follow-up report in Tiffany's house? Jerry. Right.
So, but you're saying it's like a bit that he was doing investigative journalism that we have not had yet.

Speaker 1 No one followed up.

Speaker 1 We didn't know where that piece of

Speaker 1 the wall went. No, we didn't.
We didn't know how it all went down. I got a question for you.

Speaker 1 Has there been work done

Speaker 1 on the house? On the wall, on the wall, yeah, on the wall. On the house.
Well, yeah, she got it. She fixed it up.
There's been some great work done. Yeah, yeah.
On the wall. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Jerry. And she also, shout out to Tiffany.
She had her two-year anniversary. Or was it, no, was it? Two years.
Two-year anniversary. Has it been that long? Two years of

Speaker 1 the plane incident.

Speaker 1 Jerry sent us some very funny voice notes. Not for air.
Not for air. We can't say them on the air.
Not for air.

Speaker 1 That I can't. Come on.
That was that was great work. I thought

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was just a wild, it's just a wild, wild, wild thing to do. Well, you know what else is wild? It's just putting a hole in a wall.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, shit happens when the cowboys get smoked.

Speaker 1 When your cowboys get smoked.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And Jerry was down there for his daughter's volleyball tournament.
Yeah. Which makes it so much funnier.

Speaker 1 So much funnier that he was like, his high school daughter was just like, here, stay at the hotel. I got to go do some.

Speaker 1 I got to go see about a wall. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. Good.
Who's back? Also, Oasis. Oasis is so back.
So, so back. Looked like it was a great concert.
Bucket hats are going to be back. Big time.

Speaker 1 They're doing, what, two shows in New York, two shows in L.A., one in Chicago in the United States. Yep.
And then

Speaker 1 some European shows. Do we think they make it the entire distance?

Speaker 1 I'd say no. Or do you think they break up before they? They have to break up.
I would be disappointed if they didn't break up during the tour. Yeah.
I think that'd be bullshit. Right?

Speaker 1 Because that means they're not playing hard enough. And that's, yeah, that means that they've changed.
Yeah. And I want the same oasis.

Speaker 1 I want, like, if you're buying tickets for this, part of the rush is spending all that money on the ticket, not knowing if that concert's ever going to happen. Correct.
Correct.

Speaker 1 It looked like the best time ever. Ever.
What a band. Shout out to Wales.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Shout out Wales. Shout out Wales.

Speaker 1 All right. Your who's back.
Yeah, before I do my who's back, can I just look at the Dakota Prescott line on the quarterback rankings draft again? I just want to see where it is again.

Speaker 1 It is

Speaker 1 24. Yep, nailed it.
Accurate recording. That feels good.

Speaker 1 Who's back of the week is Bradley Beale. Yeah.
Bradley Beal might be back. Yeah.
So it looks like he's going to get a buyout. The Sons are going to pay him money to go away.

Speaker 1 And then he's going to be a free agent

Speaker 1 reportedly from Mark Stein.

Speaker 1 I don't think I'm done believing in Bradley Beal yet. No, he actually is

Speaker 1 still a good basketball player, just not good enough to get paid $45 million a year. Yeah.
Like, if he goes to a team and gets, I don't understand how any of the contracts worked.

Speaker 1 I'd assume it'd be like one of those league minimums,

Speaker 1 mid-level exceptions. So one of those.
Like, in theory, though, could he get a full contract from another team that's not a vet minimum?

Speaker 1 I think the problem is all the teams probably have a lot of their spots already spoken for. Right.
So let's just say he gets, I don't know, $8 million a year.

Speaker 1 Bradley Beal for $8 million a year is a pretty good deal. Yeah, I would agree.
So I'm kind of excited to see where he goes. Yeah, especially if he goes to a good team.
Hank, do you want him? Although

Speaker 1 he didn't really love coming off the bench, so that might be a problem.

Speaker 1 Would you want him, Hank? For cheap, yeah.

Speaker 1 How are you doing, Hank, with all this stuff? Because it is like

Speaker 1 you and the Pacers, it feels like... They're like, all right, well, we're in a way better spot than the Pacers.

Speaker 1 Way better. Way better.
Why, way better? Because Tatum got hurt like a month earlier. Better organization, yeah.
Better team. But I'm saying

Speaker 1 we'll be back sooner than the Pacers. What I'm saying though.

Speaker 1 I'm saying both the teams feel like

Speaker 1 not that they're fully punting on next year, but they kind of are. They're like, all right, well, next year doesn't matter.
We're just going to.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but even when the Sellers are rebuilding, they're fun.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 1 they're going to find the right players. They're going to find the next pieces for the next run.
And next year, those guys are going to get more minutes than they would otherwise.

Speaker 1 And they're going to be able to

Speaker 1 build for the future.

Speaker 1 How much further ahead are you from the Pacers? Like, if the Pacers got Bradley Beal, would you still say you're ahead of them? Yes.

Speaker 1 I have a question. Yes.
It just popped in my head.

Speaker 1 The Wizards suck. The Bulls suck.
Bulls can't make a trade to save their life to get real picks.

Speaker 1 The Knicks are good. The Celtics are in a weird.

Speaker 1 year where they're trying to figure it out.

Speaker 1 How disrespectful is it that no one even brings brings up that the Sixers could maybe win the East? They're just such an afterthought.

Speaker 1 Everyone's heard in the East, and no one's talking about the Sixers being like, hey, maybe it could be them. Yeah.
That is so disrespectful, Max. I love it.
I love it. Oh, under the radar.

Speaker 1 Disrespectful.

Speaker 1 It's normally the opposite.

Speaker 1 It's like, oh,

Speaker 1 here come the Sixers. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then this year, it's like, everyone, no one's talking about the Sixers, and they could be very good. Have you let yourself believe? Oh, yeah.
VJ Edgecombe had 28 points in his Summer League debut.

Speaker 1 Okay. So, yeah, that's

Speaker 1 good enough. So, yeah.
That's good enough. You've done it.
I just need him. I would like to see a little bit of a status update on Joelle and Biet.
Yep. I'll say that.
What is the status right now?

Speaker 1 Nothing. No one's heard from anything.

Speaker 1 What do you mean? What does that mean?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 They don't know what he's doing. They don't know where he is.

Speaker 1 No one knows. No one knows what his health is at right now.

Speaker 1 I'm searching for Joelle Embiid updates. Yep.
Keep searching.

Speaker 1 I'm not finding anything.

Speaker 1 No one knows. Nothing.
Max, would you rather. Oh, wait.

Speaker 1 Philadelphia's Joelle and Biet has been ruled out for the season. Oh, that was just Sean's tweet from February 28th.
Correct. I thought he was talking about next season.

Speaker 1 It actually would be very funny now that I'm thinking about it. Like, if

Speaker 1 it just the East becomes such a wasteland that the Sixers just get to the conference title just by default.

Speaker 1 There's a chance that they could get there without Joelle Embiid, and then that would be the meme.

Speaker 1 Oh, here we go. Here we go, Max.
From a week ago, Joelle Embiid is on track to return from knee surgery when training camp opens in September. Oh.

Speaker 1 Who said that?

Speaker 1 The Associated Press. Oh.

Speaker 1 I'm not in Sixers mode, I guess.

Speaker 1 Daryl Maury talked to Embiid before the NBA draft. said he's very engaged.
That means nothing.

Speaker 1 What does that mean? He's engaged in the conversation. He's attacking rehab.
He's doing everything he can to be out there. He had a meeting with the surgeon this week.
Did he get engaged?

Speaker 1 All things, to use a NASA term, are nominal.

Speaker 1 Don't know what that means. That's good, I think.

Speaker 1 What does that word mean? They're nominal. It's quite phenomenal, but I'm going to be honest with you, Max.
Nominal is one of those words I don't really know what it means either.

Speaker 1 Things are going well and expected, and we expect that to continue. There's a lot of expectation.

Speaker 1 Very small, far below the real value or cost. Nominal.
Yeah, I I mean, there's optimism that he will be back for, like, okay. Yeah, this is nothing.
Yeah. Very engaged.

Speaker 1 There's optimism he'll be back for training camp. He's been doing well.

Speaker 1 This

Speaker 1 sounds like someone who's on hospice care. It's like he's doing well.
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 There's no details in that. And Bead said, one lesson that I learned is to try and stop feeling bad about myself and just live day by day.
That does sound like hospice care.

Speaker 1 He's terminal. Yeah.
This is.

Speaker 1 We don't know that.

Speaker 1 You don't know that. But this is what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 The vibes coming from that.

Speaker 1 He's more likely to start the season than Jason Tatum.

Speaker 1 Sounds like he's waiting on his grandmother's visit. Yeah.
He's counting his blessings. Yeah.
Well, yeah. I've lived a good long life.
What the hell is going on? It's in his...

Speaker 1 Is it just... What was his actual knee injury? He didn't tear his ACL.
That's the other thing. He's his meniscus.
He's torn his meniscus like 50 times. This is the longest boo-boo ever.

Speaker 1 It's the bells.

Speaker 1 Does he still have bells?

Speaker 1 No, he's a large guy.

Speaker 1 He's a big guy. He's a large guy.
Max, I'm actually, I'm kind of rooting for the Sixers this year.

Speaker 1 I want to see you do well in Bassett. I want all the height.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, we have no height. No, all the height.

Speaker 1 We started this conversation by saying there's no height. No.
There is, though. We talked about the Sixers last week on this podcast or two weeks ago.

Speaker 1 We're talking about them now saying they could be favorites to win the East Max. Yeah.
On this show, they might be dark horse, Jane Daniels, without a doubt, top five quarterback.

Speaker 1 I got the Sixers in the finals next year. You know what? I'm gonna

Speaker 1 match and double. I'm gonna say they're gonna win the finals, they're gonna win a chip, yeah.
They're gonna win the chip. Love it, yeah, national sports podcast.

Speaker 1 All right, that was your Bradley Beale back. Oh, yeah, Bradley Beal,

Speaker 1 but I do think he'll be a good player for some team.

Speaker 1 I'm having a great time. This is just one the boys haven't talked in a while.
The NC basically to

Speaker 1 uh go behind the fifth wall, fourth wall, fourth wall, fourth wall. Break the fourth wall.
We were texting

Speaker 1 Tiffany's this morning. We're like, who should we have on the show? And I was like,

Speaker 1 why don't we just hang out with the boys? We haven't seen each other in 10 days.

Speaker 1 This is the longest we go.

Speaker 1 Because I know we did Wednesday's show, but we only did like 20, 30 minutes to start the show. Maybe it was like 45 minutes.
I think it was like 45 minutes. Yeah, it was longer.
75.

Speaker 1 It was longer.

Speaker 1 Listen, what do we get talking? We like to hang out, but we hadn't seen each other in a long time. A lot of national sports podcasts.

Speaker 1 Me and Hank and Memes had set a line for that episode.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I actually had a moment. I came back down, and my wife was like, I thought you said it was going to be 25 minutes.
I was like, well, you know, we get talking and we just like hanging out.

Speaker 1 By the way, Hank, spot on with

Speaker 1 his 75 minutes, was his line. And I think it was like 75,

Speaker 1 15.

Speaker 1 Max. I said, Hank doesn't want us to podcast.
I said, he doesn't want to pay. No, he doesn't.
I know. No, no, no, no.
No.

Speaker 1 I am. Numbers.
No, no. That wasn't.
That wasn't. I'm just, I'm just, we're setting lines.
Max said 50 minutes. I sent 100 crying, laughing emojis.
I was like 75 and a half.

Speaker 1 I started the conversation, to be fair, before we started the show.

Speaker 1 I put Hank and memes in a group chat. Was like, what do we think the number is? Well, when the days build up, actually, this is when someday.

Speaker 1 Very long from now, except for the fact that the takies are coming up in AWLs, you're up there. And Christian Yellich.
And Christian Yelich.

Speaker 1 Let's just say 15 years from now when we retire,

Speaker 1 we should not talk for like five years and then see how long if we can break the podcasting record. And just

Speaker 1 catch up. Not talk for 15 years.
Just do a year or two. No, not talk for five years.
Talk for five years and then try to do a 25-minute episode.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 let's see what the first tight episode in the history of. We're going to be a first tight show.

Speaker 1 I think we could, I actually think if we didn't speak for five years, we could do like a month-long podcast.

Speaker 1 You know what? We would just build up all the good stuff that we wanted to talk about and just ignore all the bad shit that had happened to all of our teams.

Speaker 1 All right, my who's back is mascots because you guys see the Chiefs mascot retired. Yeah, I did.
Longest tenured mascot in the NFL.

Speaker 1 Can I just point something out that I, listen, I get it. He retired 35 years of service.
Thank you for your service.

Speaker 1 Great mascot. One of the best mascots out there.
I didn't like that they took his head off in the video. No, I don't like that at all.
They shouldn't have done that. You got to go out on your shield.

Speaker 1 You ruined it for me. You go out on your shield.
Yeah, and he was doing the same dances, but without the mascot uniform on. It's like, that's what it looks like.
I didn't want to see it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's like your final act as mascot is to ruin the illusion of the mascot. Right.
Right. My four-year-old son Chris saw that, and he was crying.
Disgusting.

Speaker 1 Because he thought that the wolf got its head taken off. Also, who's back, ESPN just fucking up with that Bobby Jenks thing, R.I.P.
Bobby Jenks. That was such a stupid tweet.
People missed it.

Speaker 1 Bobby Jenks passed away really sad. He had stomach cancer.

Speaker 1 And they were, they said Bobby Jenks, two-time all-star pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, who was on the roster when when the franchise won the 2005 World Series, he closed two of the four wins in the World Series.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 In the final? He's a big part. Big part.
Crazy. Crazy.
But

Speaker 1 yeah.

Speaker 1 Nothing like a big boy closer. Like Bobby Jenks was that.
I mean, the Pope was a massive fan of his. Yeah.
Pope was at the game.

Speaker 1 Okay. Zach, who's back of the week?

Speaker 1 My who's back of the week is Brian Steele, Criminal Defense Attorney Brian Steele.

Speaker 1 Late last year, he defeated the state of Georgia and Fonnie Willison. Wait, wait, wait.
He defeated the state of Georgia. Hock up.
Who is this? Brian Steele is a 34-year practicing defense attorney.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 And he has beat racketeering charges for his clients for the second time this last week.

Speaker 1 Just late last year, he defeated Fonnie Willis in the state of Georgia for

Speaker 1 Young Thug in the YSO conglomerate. They were wrongfully accused of racketeering charges.
Brian Steele came out on top on this. Again,

Speaker 1 wait, he's Young Thug's lawyer? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yes, his defense attorney. But he was also,

Speaker 1 Young Thug was exiled from Atlanta.

Speaker 1 That's part of his, so part of his

Speaker 1 probation limitations is he can't go to Atlanta unless

Speaker 1 a family member is sick or a death in the family. Yeah.
But he has to play a concert there like once a year, too. Yeah, a benefit concert, like don't allow money to charity.
That is correct. Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's something awesome about being exiled, by the way. That is like the coolest thing that can happen.
So this dude's just a a badass lawyer that just keeps getting everyone off?

Speaker 1 Yes. You got Rico charges and.
Oh, you remember this one, Big Gat? He said the thug in Young Thug stands for truly humble under God. I love that.
Yes, that is correct. Okay.

Speaker 1 This last time, he just went up against the feds or the federal government, I apologize, for the same thing. He had a client, Sean Combs, was

Speaker 1 they were trying him for racketeering as well. And Brian Steele beat that case.
So Brian Steele might just be the greatest defense attorney of all time. Wow.

Speaker 1 Lockdown D. Good for him.
Yes. So, yeah, Diddy was, he caught two of the five charges, right?

Speaker 1 He did catch a couple of them. I also don't condone any charges whatsoever or criminal acts.
I just want to say that Brian himself did a great job for his clients.

Speaker 1 He had a job to do, and he did it very well. Yeah.
Correct. And we're not talking about the facts of it.
Zach is our chief legal analyst, and he's just saying, like, lawyer to lawyer, great job.

Speaker 1 Tip of the cap.

Speaker 1 Right, right. Okay.
Brian Steele. I mean, his name alone.
Solid name. That's a really powerful name.
He's always doing like a great suit, too. Yeah, I mean, he's a good-looking guy.

Speaker 1 34 years practicing. He kind of.

Speaker 1 Does he kind of look like Epstein? Maybe a little bit. Oh,

Speaker 1 Epstein, he was exonerated too, right? By Brian Steele? No, somebody said today that he was

Speaker 1 like no funny business was happening. Oh.
There was no blackmail. Who is saying this? The Department of Justice said that today.
Got it. You just searched Theo Epstein.

Speaker 1 I do that all the time. I've talked about that on this show.
That I get it.

Speaker 1 It's a really bad mix-up, but I do it.

Speaker 1 I do it often.

Speaker 1 My bad, my bad. All right.
Good who's back of the week.

Speaker 1 Let's get to our Mount Rushmore. PFD, you got an ad before we do Mount Rushmore, and then we're going to finish with a little recap of whatever,

Speaker 1 how everyone's week was.

Speaker 5 Aldi is now on Uber Eats. So whether your fridge is empty and you're too tired to shop or you just ran out of essential ingredients, don't worry, we got you.

Speaker 5 Get 40% off your first Aldi order on Uber Eats with code New Aldi25. Orders $30 or more, save up to $25, and it's 1231.
See out for details.

Speaker 1 By the way, before we do the Mount Rushmore breaking moves,

Speaker 1 our former

Speaker 1 co-worker Alex Cooper sang the seventh thing he stretched at Wrigley today and got booed the entire time. Oh no.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you could pull up the clip, but not great. I would like to see the clip.
Also great. Yeah, here's the clip.

Speaker 1 A one, a two,

Speaker 1 a three.

Speaker 1 Take

Speaker 1 me up to the

Speaker 1 hole.

Speaker 1 Take me

Speaker 1 Oh here come the booze.

Speaker 1 Oh

Speaker 1 well yeah, she's making a mockery of it.

Speaker 1 And she's also looking into the camera not looking out to the fans.

Speaker 1 Alright, this is good. Good sports talent.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't even remember. I don't even remember working with her.

Speaker 1 You got to lean over the edge. You got to engage the fans.

Speaker 1 She did like a TikTok dance for it.

Speaker 1 That's gross.

Speaker 1 Good booing. Good booing.

Speaker 1 That was... Me out to the gluck.

Speaker 1 Do you think she's embarrassed by that? No. Probably not.
No.

Speaker 1 Okay. Let's do Mount Rushmore.
Mount Rushmore of

Speaker 1 Minor Embarrassment. Minor Embarrassing Moments.
Yeah, Minor Embarrassing Moments.

Speaker 1 Let's just stay with you. It is Max and Meme six points.
PFT and Hank, five points. Zach and I, four points, I believe, is the standing.
Okay, so it's anyone's game. That might be wrong, too.

Speaker 1 It might be 5-4-3. I just know that's the right order.
Do we know who's up first?

Speaker 1 We are.

Speaker 1 We're not going to win this one. Wait, so you're first, then you guys?

Speaker 1 Then, yeah, then us. All right, Zach, we're last.
Why are you giving up on this one, Max? We're just not prepared. And when preparation is bad, you're not good.
Yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 1 That's the one that's in every

Speaker 1 weight room, every football weight room across

Speaker 1 whatever that quote is.

Speaker 1 But yeah, our preparation is bad. Opportunity meet is bad.
Let's have a good Mountain Rushman.

Speaker 1 Yeah, let's have a good Mountain Rushmore. Okay.
And there's no bad picks. No bad picks.
No, no, no, cutters.

Speaker 1 We're not on chill week. Yeah, no.
Yeah, no. No, this is the start of chill week.

Speaker 1 This is the start of chill week. Okay.

Speaker 1 First pick is

Speaker 1 a public trip and fall. Okay, good pick.
Had it on there. All right, good, good, good, good, good, good, nice, nice.
Good pick. Public trip and fall is really good.
I think 1-1.

Speaker 1 Maybe not 1-1.

Speaker 1 The

Speaker 1 curb. Tripping over

Speaker 1 when you actually go onto the ground and people, there's like strangers that have to come over to you and be like, are you okay?

Speaker 1 Sucks. Stairs.
You see people telling their friends, like, that guy just fell. Yeah, that guy just fell.

Speaker 1 What's tripping upstairs might be the worst. Tripping upstairs is bad.
Upstairs sucks. Tripping on like a running treadmill.
Yeah. That's very good.
Black ice is always.

Speaker 1 But that black ice gets kind of...

Speaker 1 When it's cold out and it's icy, you get a little bit of a pass. Tripping, like getting at the top of an escalator.
Like just the little step, the smallest step in the world.

Speaker 1 Tripping when you get out of a cab and

Speaker 1 break your foot. Yeah, that's a good thing.
And then you can't do the dingers only thing. That's a bad one.
And then find out he was actually just walking. You were never in a cab at all.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no. That happens.

Speaker 1 That is honestly fine. It happens.

Speaker 1 Tripping on the last step because you think there's another one. Oh, that.
Oh,

Speaker 1 I like that feeling. It gives you a little bit of the ball.

Speaker 1 It's like a roller coaster.

Speaker 1 When you know that you're safe, it does have, it is a little bit of a cheap thrill. A little cheap.
You know how I know it's really embarrassing? Because when dogs trip, they get embarrassed too.

Speaker 1 Yeah. They have that same feeling.
They look at you like, oh, fuck. Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 R1-1 is going to be

Speaker 1 waving at somebody who it turns out wasn't actually waving at you.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 1 We had this on the list as intercepting someone else's hello. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's brutal.
Mm-hmm. It's brutal.
Brutal.

Speaker 1 Zach.

Speaker 1 What should we do? We have our whole board.

Speaker 1 We do have several options right now. What are you thinking? How are we feeling?

Speaker 1 I feel good about a 2-3

Speaker 1 And also the 6 is a really strong one that I think is just very...

Speaker 1 I want you to feel good about these.

Speaker 1 3 is good. So 3 is embarrassing.
Yeah. 3 is pretty embarrassing.
Yeah, yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. Let's do it.
We'll start with that and then we'll figure it out.

Speaker 1 Our first one is when you

Speaker 1 let out a little bit of a fart thinking that it's not going to smell and then it just demolishes the room. And it's just the worst because you are like, everyone has those moments.

Speaker 1 You got a little too much. You got to, you just got to basically, it's almost like letting a little bit out of like a tire that's overinflated.
Like, I'm not, I'm not going to really fart here.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to leak a little bit to give myself some comfort. And next thing you know, everyone's like, holy shit, what the fuck is that smell? You're trying to get some breathing room.

Speaker 1 And then you also have to live with the fact that, you know, if you let the rest out, it's going to be worse. Yeah.
And then sometimes a national reporter is sitting next to you as you're doing that.

Speaker 1 And then it We're just going to start talking about things that I do. Then it becomes news.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's a news story.

Speaker 1 Okay. Relatable.
Our second pick is a simple one. It's just fucking up any type of handshake,

Speaker 1 whether it be handshake or dap or hug, and you go handshake. Just that entire exchange sucks really bad.
Yep, we had that too. Yeah.
Really, really bad. Especially if it's on camera.

Speaker 1 Especially if it's on camera. All right.
Our next one.

Speaker 1 Calling your teacher mom. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I was going to go with that next. So, interesting thing, Zach had never heard of this.
Really, I guess just didn't do it because I said it. He's like, what do you mean? I was like, you don't remember.

Speaker 1 Like, in first grade, I called my teacher mom. And that sucked.
I never ripped one of those. Was it bad when you do it? It's just embarrassing.
It's very embarrassing. Were you homeschooled?

Speaker 1 No, just public school, right? Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 But...

Speaker 1 Is she endearing about it when you say mom? Oh, I think it happens all the time. Yeah, I think the teacher is very understanding, but as a kid, you're like, that's the biggest fuck up I could make.

Speaker 1 That's not my mom. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Good pick.
Yeah, we had it. It was just interesting.
Zach had never heard of it. All right.
You guys are coming back around. Yep.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go with staring at someone and they catch you.

Speaker 1 Okay. So, like, all right, creep.
Yeah. No, but if you're just like looking around a room and then someone sees you

Speaker 1 looking. Yep.
Well, are you staring at them or are you looking around the room?

Speaker 1 We had it. I didn't know.

Speaker 1 Making eye contact from afar with...

Speaker 1 What did you say?

Speaker 1 Awkwardly making eye contact with

Speaker 1 someone from afar. And you're staring at somebody and then they catch you staring at them.
All right, whatever. Is it more awkward if it's a guy or a girl? Whatever it was.

Speaker 1 It's like, have you ever gone up to a girl and you drop your bag and then accidentally roll a duct tape in your rope and your knife falls out?

Speaker 1 It's kind of awkward. You act like you've never, this has never happened.

Speaker 1 It's kind of weird. If you're honest, if you're like, oh, I'm not sure.
wait, hold on. First of all, you're talking to the guy who wears sunglasses all the time.
He can stare at anything.

Speaker 1 So he's good.

Speaker 1 He's life hacked life.

Speaker 1 Correct.

Speaker 1 Like the

Speaker 1 good pick. So the pick was making eye contact.
Whatever. Making eye contact with someone from afar, like down the hallway.
And there's just 30 seconds in between being like, do I say hello right now?

Speaker 1 Oh, that's way different. That's like that.

Speaker 1 It was. That's what.
Yeah, no, we, we, we, we,

Speaker 1 I said we had bad preparation.

Speaker 1 We had bad preparation.

Speaker 1 You could have that for a completely different thing. That's a totally different thing that is embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Whatever. That's an embarrassing.
What memes said is a good pick.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, we had bad preparation.

Speaker 1 I read the first three words of that and didn't really continue.

Speaker 1 I started this with bad preparation. You're right.
Bad preparation and bad, whatever.

Speaker 1 Now I'm in shambles.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to start ripping here.

Speaker 1 Go into the bathroom and you have a bad shake and a little pea stain. Good pick.
Okay. Had it.
Peace stain. Good pick.

Speaker 1 PFT just never does any of these things over here.

Speaker 1 I say good pick. No, I felt a tone.

Speaker 1 That was no tone in there. You're lashing out right now.
Yeah, you are. I know.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Next pick, having a bad Mount Rushmore performance. Embarrassing.
Can't be me. I had your back with the kidnapping case.
Can't relate to that.

Speaker 1 All right. Our next pick.

Speaker 1 We're going to be

Speaker 1 with calling somebody by the wrong name who you've known for way too long. Good one.
So we were having this debate.

Speaker 1 I think it's way, Zach and I were actually disagreeing. I think it's way worse when you call when you're close to the name but wrong

Speaker 1 versus way off. Yep.
Like if someone, if someone I know called me Dave, I'd be offended versus like if someone I know called me Paul, I'd be like, dude, that's not even close to my name.

Speaker 1 Whose name Paul? Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 But this was, this was, uh, this was Hank's big pick, and I think Hank might have had an explanation behind it. No, I mean, I do it all the time.

Speaker 1 Uh, even just like me, you know, you meet people, we meet a lot of people once or twice, it's acquaintances, and then you see them again, and then they know your name, and you don't know their name.

Speaker 1 I've gotten very good at like introducing, you know, managing that situation by introducing someone else, someone else, but also like the one I was going to type is, or if you're talking to a girl at a bar and then, like, 45 minutes later, she's like, what's my name?

Speaker 1 Yeah. And then you just blank.

Speaker 1 I think more people should wear name tags.

Speaker 1 I've made all the insurance wear name tags here. I think just everybody just in general, out in public, should have a name tag on.

Speaker 1 It's acquaintances. Because

Speaker 1 if I said your name wrong, it's like, obviously, you know, you're brainstorming. Like, I get my kids' names wrong.
I call my kids all their other, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 But if it's someone that you've met like two or three times, that's the spot where it sucks. And it sucks.
Where it's like they should know, and you've met them before, you've talked to them.

Speaker 1 It's brutal. It's almost worse if you find out.
And they know your name. Yeah.
And you're like, I feel like such an asshole.

Speaker 1 If you find out that you got the name wrong, like after you're done hanging out with them. And then you think back of all the times you called them the wrong name in that hang.
Yep. Yep.
Bad times.

Speaker 1 All right, Zach. I think we should.
I think we should go with 13. That was yours.
That was good. I think it's a strong one.
And I've been thinking about and laughing to myself about number seven.

Speaker 1 I think we just go for a home run that might not work. You guys want us to send one?

Speaker 1 All right. So go, you say 13, I'll say seven.

Speaker 1 This is the good pick. Texting in the wrong group chat.
Yep. Yep.
That is just such a bad winning. F45 day one.
Oh, yep. Yeah.
That was bad. It's just,

Speaker 1 you can't get over it. You just feel like such, and then you try to bury it or, you know, airplane mode.
Yeah, try to

Speaker 1 try to think, oh, haha, I was actually talking about this. You're just screwed.
Well, now they have the, like, which is almost even a bigger role of the dice, is the unsend. Yes.

Speaker 1 Because you don't know if they saw it or not. Yeah.
Yep. And you're like, do I unsend this? You just assume, but you assume they saw it.

Speaker 1 And then it's even more awkward because it's clearly, you can't even play it off. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 This one is going to be, I don't know how it's going to look, but we have to be true to ourselves because this is the one we talked about the most, I would say, Zach, you and I.

Speaker 1 We got to keep it honest. We got to keep it honest.
Because we were laughing about this one, and we were just like, you can't, like, this is so embarrassing. You can't do it

Speaker 1 as a grown man wearing a bike helmet okay i think it's so embarrassing i like i i understand the safety i wear one

Speaker 1 you just can't you just look like a fucking fool and you look like an idiot especially when you get off the bike and you're like what that that second where you're walking without the bike if you're on a on a normal bike yes if you're if they're you know if they're on their like the speed bikes and they're bike riders like whatever yeah but if if you're just like on a on a i'm talking if you're on a mountain bike like right going a mile down the street or the e-bikes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the city bikes.

Speaker 1 I'm not talking about the Lance Armstrong's weekend warriors. I'm talking about just a grown regular man like in a suit in regular clothes wearing a bike helmet.

Speaker 1 I think if you purchase a bike helmet and rent bikes, that's a very embarrassing situation. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You guys like that pick. That's a pic.
All right. Yeah, we're just, I mean, I, I do wear them because I want to be safe, but every time I clip in, I'm like, this fucking looks ridiculous.

Speaker 1 You have to, but there's no good way to do it. There's no good way to do it.
Yeah, and they try to make it like, oh, look at this cool bike helmet. And, you know, it just looks ridiculous.

Speaker 1 You know what's really cool? It's guardian cat. Safety.
Yeah. Not having your brain splattered on the concrete.

Speaker 1 That's kind of honestly, though, I've worn bike helmets that I would probably prefer my brain to be splattered. All right.
Hank, I just highlighted what I think the last one should be. Let's go, boys.

Speaker 1 Yep. Yeah.
Do it. I like it.
All right, last one. Do it.
I like it. Coming fast.

Speaker 1 Coming really too fast. That's true.
Coming way too fast. Yeah.
Because there's no explanation for it.

Speaker 1 You can't pretend that it didn't happen. No.
You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. No.
You can't pretend it was a good experience. No.
No. You can't unring that bell.
Well, for you, it was.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but like sometimes you're like, oh, yeah, like, you know, whatever. But you liked it when it was.
You can fake yourself. Like, yeah.

Speaker 1 You had some good moments too, right? Yeah. No.
No. When it's, yeah.
No. No.
It's not fun. Not fun at all.
No.

Speaker 1 Especially when it happens when you're just like staring at a chick like 50 feet away.

Speaker 1 And then she's like, you know, she's going to tell her friends and the cops. And next thing you know, you're coming too fast.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, whatever.

Speaker 1 What did you think about coming too fast?

Speaker 1 I

Speaker 1 can't relate. I don't want to talk about it.
Italian stars.

Speaker 1 We need to to normalize it.

Speaker 1 This is the last pick of the draft here. No, it is from the evolutionary standpoint.
It's a genetic advantage to come really fast. Yeah.
And get more chicks pregnant. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Last pick, just really bad pit stains. Ooh.
Good one.

Speaker 1 I'm surprised

Speaker 1 Zipper Down wasn't picked. Zipper Down was on your phone.
Camera light on your phone. Yeah, that's

Speaker 1 fly downs a good one. Oh, fuck.

Speaker 1 Having your camera light on sucks. I also also said phone.
This doesn't happen to me, but I feel embarrassment for other people when your phone ringer goes off in a quiet room. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like at a wedding, if your phone ringer goes off, that's got to be the most embarrassing thing ever. Like your alarm goes off at a very weird time.
Yeah. You're setting an alarm for?

Speaker 1 Zach and I had a few that we wanted to just feel out what you guys thought. Okay.

Speaker 1 It's kind of similar to the, we had almost like a,

Speaker 1 as a grown man category where bike helmets was the strongest one, but the other ones we had in that category were

Speaker 1 just drinking from straws.

Speaker 1 I like straws sometimes.

Speaker 1 I do too, but it's a little embarrassing. Eating a corn dog.
I'll do theirs. I do drink from straws more often in the privacy of my own.
Correct. Correct.

Speaker 1 I think drinking from straw, if it has the lid for the straw, it's fine. If you're drinking from a straw of like an open cup, that's embarrassing.
Fast food cups, always straws. Yeah.
Yeah. Like that.

Speaker 1 that yeah yeah you have to have a straw yeah you have to trying to drink out of it without a straw is ridiculous

Speaker 1 of course uh and then the other one that maybe will be called misogynistic i don't know uh

Speaker 1 i'm always just a little bit embarrassed as a grown man when i have to shake a woman's hand i just it feels weird

Speaker 1 yeah that's that's that's that's fair or like when yeah when you meet when you're meeting guys and girls yeah and you've never met the girl it's like i'm not hugging you but like I'm gonna shake your hands.

Speaker 1 This is weird. Like, we don't like it.
I always shake it. I'm not talking about business setting.
I'm talking about like informal kind of setting. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 I always say, I always like, I also feel awkward about it, but I'll just be like, all right, nice, firm handshake. I'll say it like out loud because I don't know.
Oh, that makes it way worse.

Speaker 1 No, it'll stare you right in the eye and shake your hand. I do the

Speaker 1 shake someone's hand. A lot of times I'll do the handshake guy, handshake guy, and then just like a meek little hello to the woman.
I think the staring is going going to play.

Speaker 1 If you get caught staring, like getting caught staring is a thing.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Sometimes

Speaker 1 you're working out and like

Speaker 1 there's just a really hot I don't go to public gyms.

Speaker 1 Come on now. Oh, we had we Zach, go ahead.
Zach. Working out is pretty rough too.
Yeah, running. As far as embarrassments go, running is sprinting.
Running, just running.

Speaker 1 Just running. A grown man sprinting is embarrassing.
It's very embarrassing. But it's going to be so embarrassing when we do this hot dog thing.
I've already thought about you guys watching me run.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
We had getting crossed up. Yeah.
In basketball. Oh, Pug.
We had a.

Speaker 1 Oh, bro. Oh, Pug.
Pug did get crossed up. When you get crossed up and it's on tape.

Speaker 1 We had... I forgot we should have done this one.
I think that it's getting hit in the head with a ball, no matter how it happens, is always embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Like, I'm saying you could be playing catch, it hits you in the head. That's very embarrassing.

Speaker 1 But even when we're playing hoops out here and like everyone's shooting around and you're not even looking and the ball hits you in the back of the head you're embarrassed i think the person who's shooting is more embarrassed oh never oh i you i feel no horrendous no you're you're a bad guy no you're not you're no you're a bad shooter what if you just like brick it no

Speaker 1 but sometimes it's not even that like even if you like hit the side of the rim you miss it i always feel bad you're a bad shooter what you've never missed a shot i don't miss that badly if you can literally hit it off of the side of the rim and it can bounce that's just the bounce of the ball baby yeah but then you still feel bad.

Speaker 1 I think you're missing the whole rim and then you should feel bad. If I missed the whole rim, I'd feel bad.
Like you?

Speaker 1 You are not.

Speaker 1 You're acting like you're fucking Steph Curry out.

Speaker 1 I'm not shooting air balls and hitting people in the head. I never said airballs.
I think that's what's happening. This is

Speaker 1 crazy deflection.

Speaker 1 Do you feel embarrassed

Speaker 1 when you shoot a real shot? that has a real bounce and you hit someone in the head. I feel bad.
No, no. But I feel bad.
I shouldn't have been standing there.

Speaker 1 If I get hit, you guys feel embarrassed. I think you got to have your head on a swivel.
You guys are me. If it's

Speaker 1 a big shooter, it's an airball bad. I don't.
Yes, I never said airball. But that's really what we're talking.
I agree. Airball bad.
You are just creating a scenario I never said.

Speaker 1 Because it doesn't make sense when you're shooting around. If you have a regular shot that hits the rim and hits someone in the head, I don't feel.
I'm not like. I still feel that.
Oh my God.

Speaker 1 I'm embarrassed for that. What if you swish it and it hits their head?

Speaker 1 I would still feel bad. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 That's crazy. It's like.
You're standing under the hoop. Yeah.
I feel good. Yeah, I guess.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 If I had a wild shot that was like not even close and it hit someone in the head, I would feel bad. I guess.
You're still like hitting someone in the head. I don't know.

Speaker 1 Maybe embarrass is the wrong word. It's more like.

Speaker 1 All right, what else we got?

Speaker 1 Awkwardly walking faster than the person in front of you on the sidewalk and then you have to like speed up to pass them. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Or if it's a girl and you have to go, you know,

Speaker 1 the street

Speaker 1 eight miles. Or say, on your left.
Yeah. That's what it looks like.
Yeah. Yeah.
On your left. That's great.

Speaker 1 Got to let them know that you're there. You don't want to, you don't want to surprise them.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 The yeah, or the face-to-face, you go one-way, hallway. I am an all-time bad guy at that.
Yeah. I don't know what it is about me, but

Speaker 1 I hit on such a high percentage of those where I go the same way, same way.

Speaker 1 I gotta switch something up. I had

Speaker 1 swinging and missing in the slow-pitched softball game. Yep.
Yep. We had that.
That's so bad. And also on the T?

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's bad.
I wouldn't know.

Speaker 1 Beast.

Speaker 1 I didn't say it was you.

Speaker 1 I didn't say it was you. Forgetting a wedge a few holes back.

Speaker 1 No. That's

Speaker 1 a cool.

Speaker 1 Butt crack.

Speaker 1 Is that the whole pick? Butt crack? Maxie butt crack.

Speaker 1 I thought about it, but then because that's not even true anymore. Like, I don't even get embarrassed about it.
It's just, I usually get very embarrassed about it. Yeah.
What about my fucking asshole?

Speaker 1 What about saying, see you later? And then you guys both go in the same direction. Oh, brutal.
That's more awkward, I think, than embarrassing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Or walking the wrong direction and having to realize you have to turn around and, like, in front of people. Or, like, have a good flight.
Thanks, you too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You're just checking the thing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I had thinking Caleb Williams is entering the best situation a rookie quarterback has ever had. That's an embarrassing moment.
Pretty embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Car breaking down, causing the entire city of Chicago to...

Speaker 1 pretty embarrassing. I wouldn't call that a little embarrassing moment.
Yeah, that's a big embarrassing moment. Yeah, big embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Hank had forgetting your keys in your apartment.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like getting down to your car, being like, oh, fuck. Yeah.
My keys are upstairs.

Speaker 1 But that doesn't really. That's not embarrassing.
Yeah, Penny talked me off that one. I thought that was a good one.

Speaker 1 You know what's a good one?

Speaker 1 I'm not saying it's you, but like

Speaker 1 once or twice a year, sleeping into like 1 p.m. and having all your friends think you're dead.
That's embarrassing. That's super embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Probably had fun, though. What about getting demoted? Once a year.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What about getting demoted as your fantasy team owner? Oh, yeah. It's pretty embarrassing.
Just getting demoted. Yeah.
Yeah, demoted. Yeah.
Yeah, just fire you. Fire you.
I'm like, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 Getting pipped. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Food stuck in your teeth.

Speaker 1 Sneeze fart. Sneeze fart fart.
Oh, Zach, you had a good one. Wearing a sticker on your hat for an entire day and no one telling you.
The fast food one, Zach.

Speaker 1 Embarrassing. You know, like fast casual workers, if they know your order, or like if the gas station employee knows like what cigarettes you're there to get, or like, oh, hey, good to see you again.

Speaker 1 Derek, it's like, it's always bad. Yeah.
Yeah. Them having it.
What other ones did you have, Zach? Card declining at like the gas station. You're buying like a Danish or a soda.

Speaker 1 That's always kind of rough.

Speaker 1 One time I went into a gas station in college and the guy behind the counter just looked at me and said, let me guess, Magnums. Oh, okay.
And it was like the coolest I've ever felt in my life.

Speaker 1 That's pretty good. I don't know.
I just wanted to tell that story. It doesn't really have anything to do with what we're talking about.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Were you getting Magnums? No. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 I think I was getting

Speaker 1 melatonin.

Speaker 1 That guy probably said that to every guy that walked in. Yeah.
Probably said it like 20 times. I think about, I still think about it.
It was like 10 years ago.

Speaker 1 The other, a grown man, as a grown man, non-airport.

Speaker 1 situation, but as a grown man, just wearing a backpack. I think that's kind of embarrassing.
I do it. And

Speaker 1 embarrassed. I'm embarrassed by it.
One other one like that that makes no sense, but makes sense to me is for travel. Holding an umbrella.
Yep. Yep.

Speaker 1 Even though, like, it's obviously way better than being wet or something about holding an umbrella that's sucks. Correct.
Correct. Using sunscreen.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I also had travel, travel-related when you get on a flight and all the overhead storage is full, so you have to go like four rows back to put your bag up.

Speaker 1 And then when you get off having to basically hold everyone up to be like can i get my bag

Speaker 1 i hate that moment i fucking hate that yeah it's pretty bad it's so you just hope that someone's gonna help you and grab it for you asking someone to put sunscreen on your back oh

Speaker 1 that that's that can be tough just putting on sunscreen yeah yeah it's embarrassing especially when you if if you like have to ask one of your your friends to put boys yeah one of your boys we should do that for chill week oil us up anyone can ask me i'll i'll do it oiled up i will i won't wear sunscreen saying i love you by mistake to somebody Yep, Zach, you had that as well.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that you don't actually love? Yeah. Or you don't love yet?

Speaker 1 Getting out of a pool without using the stairs. I just always am.

Speaker 1 This is more of a personal. I had to fight it.
I talked about that. I was at a pool two days ago, and I was like, I have one problem with my pool here.
There's no steps. You have to use the ladder.

Speaker 1 The ladder sucks. I did it.
I did it. There's no good angles for a big guy coming in or out of a ladder.

Speaker 1 I did it once over vacation, and then for the rest of vacation, I just put a chair with a towel next to the stairs. So I would just walk up the stairs and grab a towel.

Speaker 1 And mind you, this is in front of my family, but I'm still embarrassed.

Speaker 1 They don't need to see this. Chicago pools are also so packed all the time.
That's amazing. Yeah, too many people.
Too many people. Tying your shoes? Yes.

Speaker 1 Tying your shoes is embarrassing. It is embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Getting an ultrasound on your testicles from a stranger. Oh, yeah.
That's pretty embarrassing. That is.
That is very embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Not getting a wave back.

Speaker 1 Zach also had falling in the shower.

Speaker 1 How often does that happen? So pretty embarrassing. Like going down wet.

Speaker 1 There's nothing worse. Going on the DL.
Yeah. After falling on the shower.
How often do you fall in the shower?

Speaker 1 Not often at all, but a couple times it's happened, and I'm just like, this is the worst day ever. Doesn't go down hard.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's dangerous.
Oh, one that we missed.

Speaker 1 I don't know if this happens to you guys, but

Speaker 1 when you're just like agreeing with someone and you're having conversations, like, oh, you've seen this show, and then you say yes, and then they're like, oh, what was your favorite part or something?

Speaker 1 They ask you to, and you're just like, fuck. Getting caught in a white lie.
Yeah, the like the most innocuous. You're just trying to get out of the conversation.
Yep.

Speaker 1 You're just agreeing, and then you're just fucked.

Speaker 1 Or similar, when you can't hear someone, you ask them to repeat themselves multiple times. That sucks.

Speaker 1 Sucks. Zach, what other ones do you have? I got an accidental Instagram mic.
Yep. Okay.
Yeah, that's kind of rough.

Speaker 1 It It could happen to anyone. Perfect booties.

Speaker 1 LeBron. He did that.
That was bad, too. Just getting caught in

Speaker 1 too many ass pics on Instagram. Like, oh, that's always bad.
You got a flood in the zone. Yeah.
What was that? What was that?

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 Oh. This is a podcast.
This is a podcast meetings.

Speaker 1 He's just pointing.

Speaker 1 You'll have to guess who he was pointing at. Yeah.
Having a shit in a stranger's house. It's terrible.
Scott Boris is off the shit. Head shitting on a plane.
Yeah, I I don't do it.

Speaker 1 But there has been a moment where it was an emergency

Speaker 1 and it's not good. Pushing on a pole door.
Oh, yeah. Hank had that.
Sucks. Sucks.
You feel like such a fucking idiot. The doors here are like hard.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 I guess you were.

Speaker 1 The conference room doors here. I get it wrong every time.

Speaker 1 Actually, I do that. I get my own office door wrong.
So, yeah, I know what you're saying. It sucks.

Speaker 1 All right. Any other ones? Good Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 1 Really good Mount rush more great job max uh zach did you have any other ones you guys ever like get food as a group and then like you're at the table and you have like similar items but maybe like you're going no no onion and i went like no lettuce and then you take a bite of the wrong one before don't like you're the guy who bit ate the other guy's order on accident yeah and you ate it too fast yeah i've done that before and i was like oh no there's no going back here yeah have you guys ever done this one you order dinner like your main dinner from one restaurant and then you order a side of something else that you like from a different restaurant and then both the delivery guys show up at the same time at your door.

Speaker 1 Yep. And they get confused.
Yep. And then they look at each other like, oh, this guy's just really unhealthy.
Yep. Yep.

Speaker 1 It's tough. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's bad. Also, just minor embarrassment when you're

Speaker 1 like when you

Speaker 1 don't see someone in like a crosswalk or something. It's like when it's basically your fault.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like anything on the road that's clearly your fault, you're just sitting there like, yeah, that's my bad. You just got to take it.
Like, whoops. You got to own it.
it. Sorry about that.

Speaker 1 Okay. Good job, guys.
Good Mount Rushmore. I like it, Hank.
Good work. Good work.

Speaker 1 Staring's going to play.

Speaker 1 We'll see. What's the actual phrasing? It's going to be.
I don't know. Okay.

Speaker 1 And someone catches at you staring at them across the room. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Getting caught staring at someone, though. Probably.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Are we good at that?

Speaker 1 You act like everywhere. You could be like looking at someone's shirt and then they would be like, are you staring at me? And then it's like, fuck.
That person thing.

Speaker 1 i'd be like you're wearing a cool shirt

Speaker 1 what

Speaker 1 you what did you say

Speaker 1 no no i was gonna make a joke but you you act like this has never happened you know what type of shirt what type of shirt i don't know sometimes shirts have like

Speaker 1 no someone's shirts have like sayings on

Speaker 1 you shirts have words you can you can be reading so i'm saying i'm talking about a guy oh

Speaker 1 a guy that was staring or getting you guys are the ones who are making this sexual i was making it just about murder murder yeah what

Speaker 1 you are the one who wears sunglasses every single day of your life i think i'd already made that i know yeah so like you

Speaker 1 this is this your podcast didn't just skip backwards you staring at me max

Speaker 1 yes i'm having a conversation that must be very embarrassed

Speaker 1 that's not you italian

Speaker 1 pfd have you ever like what how'd you do in mount rushmore last year how were your picks i i did not come in last thanks for asking yeah

Speaker 1 i came in last and i I did the punishment. Did you come in first? I didn't come in first.
No.

Speaker 1 I did.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 So that's maybe

Speaker 1 we'll see. We'll see who we'll see who wins this poll.
That's the beauty of the poll. Yeah.
Yeah. And most of the time I fucking win.
So. Oh.

Speaker 1 I like them apples.

Speaker 1 I do think staring's going to play. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. But it was just funny because the thing that memes said was way better.
Yeah, no,

Speaker 1 that's fair. I read the first because when you see someone 50 feet away and you're like, have to do the entire walk up.
Yeah, that sucks. Did you think about putting meatballs on the list?

Speaker 1 When you don't have enough meatballs. When the meatballs aren't big enough.
Yeah. No.
When Nona's meatballs are cold. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. Let's do our last ad and then we'll finish up the show, talk a little vacation, and

I'm really just want to know. I really have two questions about vacation.
One is, how'd you golf?

Speaker 1 And two, Zach, how was your first time going back to your family after being a public figure? So whoever wants to go first? I golfed pretty well. I had a good balance.

Speaker 1 I got to see, you know, got to see some family, hung out with my nieces, went and saw my grandpa, mom, dad.

Speaker 1 Went fishing, spent some, you know, spent some time on the boat. Some pretty cool fish in the ocean.
Yeah, that was a nice fish. Stripers? You're really good at catching tuna.

Speaker 1 I want to catch tuna.

Speaker 1 I've learned how hard it is to catch a tuna, and it's on my big board. Yeah.
What was the fish that those guys in Boston saw that was like, holy fuck, dude? Look at this fucking thing.

Speaker 1 You remember those mass holes? Yeah. It might have been a shock.

Speaker 1 Was that a shock? That was a blue lobster? Oh, no. It was, is it was a sunfish? Might have been a sunfish.
Yeah. Those things are awesome.

Speaker 1 But yeah, Hank, I saw the picture of you holding up your catch. It looked awesome.
Looks sick.

Speaker 1 Fishing's fun.

Speaker 1 I used to give my friends a lot of heat because I was like, I don't understand it. But after we did that video

Speaker 1 for Barcelona Doors, I got the itch. Yeah, when is that coming out? I don't know.
July?

Speaker 1 Probably soon. We're in July.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so sometime this month. How's Vanny Woodhead looking? Vanny Woodhead's good.
Big Cat needs to send some stuff to me. What do I have to do?

Speaker 1 You know exactly what you need to do. I don't.
I can send it. I'll send it to you again.
I will remind you again. No, you need to send it to me when I have a pen and paper.

Speaker 1 And a passport and some proof of. Yes.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I should have just bought the other one that I saw online that looked exactly like Vanny.

Speaker 1 You guys can keep asking me and the answer do you remember the one i sent that was literally a clone of vanny it looks so good clean vanny

Speaker 1 i'm so sick of this you need to send like two pictures but does it actually work i just you have you that's the thing is yes you haven't done it to mike yes but there's still holes in the van you haven't seen the van But you just my guy Mike has been doing work on the van.

Speaker 1 I'm not disparaging Mike. Hank, you literally said it might work and then you changed your mind and said yes, definitely.
Well, yeah.

Speaker 1 What happens? Once Big Cat sends the paperwork, we're going to find out. Oh, my God.
Okay. We'll definitely.
All right, then I'll do the paperwork. Definitely, we're going to find out.

Speaker 1 Golf, well, got to golf with Big Cat. Zach, remind me to do the paperwork when we come back from Massachusetts, Chicago.
It's great. Okay.
Yeah. Golf in Michigan was fun.
A lot of fun.

Speaker 1 Had a good time. We had a good time.

Speaker 1 I love Michigan. Yeah.
I'm a pure Michiganist. Yeah, too.

Speaker 1 It's the blueberries up there. Beautiful.
Nice blues.

Speaker 1 Zach, answer my question. Yes, sir.

Speaker 1 This was your first time going back home after becoming a public figure. What was the reception like?

Speaker 1 This was my first time going home since moving up here.

Speaker 1 The reception was great. You know, spending a lot of time with my family was nice.
You know,

Speaker 1 you take time for granted sometimes, and then you step away and come back to it, and it's like, oh my God, I missed this so much. This was lovely.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. You're talking about the show or going home? Oh, I was talking about seeing my parents again.
Oh, okay. Yeah.
But did it make you feel like I want to just come back?

Speaker 1 Wait, what did you say?

Speaker 1 Did you feel like, why don't I just move back to Florida? Oh, no, I didn't do that. But

Speaker 1 no, I didn't think that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they call that homesick sometimes. Yeah, it gets a little homesick.
Yeah, yeah. So it was nice to cure the homesickness a little.
You have a home-cooked meal? I did.

Speaker 1 My mom made several home-cooked meals. I ate way too much.
I went into the week dieting, left the week, never dieting, even a little bit.

Speaker 1 July 4th. Yeah, that's a crazy thing.
What was the best meal that she cooked? The best meal that she cooked would probably have to be, we did a little baked chicken quarters,

Speaker 1 string beans, mac and cheese. Nice.
Love that.

Speaker 1 And so your mom listens to the show.

Speaker 1 My mom does consume a lot of the shows now. She does.
She never did, but now she does. And did she have any questions or anything?

Speaker 1 She was curious what we were ranking. the other day,

Speaker 1 letter of M's. She's like, what are you talking about M's for? And then it did come up at dinner.
She's like, so Zach, what's a dinger? And I didn't see her.

Speaker 1 Okay. So just stuff like that, where she's trying, but she's overconsuming.
What did you think about Dungeons ⁇ Dragons?

Speaker 1 She let me know that I did terrible on the costumes.

Speaker 1 I think her quote was, yeah, you fucked that up. Oh, I love it.
Which is okay. We're working on that.
Yeah. Yeah.
Could be a redempt, if you guys allow. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Big time redempt.

Speaker 1 Everyone else had a good week? I had a good week. Yeah.
I took a bunch of back shots. Acupuncture.
Nice.

Speaker 1 That's what they call it. I have a confession to make that I'm also not proud of.

Speaker 1 I played a lot of pickleball over the week. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 You get roped into that? No.

Speaker 1 It was just with the boys, McCarthy, Tom Lay.

Speaker 1 Pickleball.

Speaker 1 It was fun. Pickleball is very fun to play.
It's kind of embarrassing to say you play it. Yes, exactly.
But it is fun when you're actually playing it. It's the worst sport in the world to watch.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I just don't like how

Speaker 1 there's a small group of rich people that are telling America, like, you watch pickleball now on TV. Yeah.
That's a thing that we're going to do.

Speaker 1 But it is, when you actually play pickleball, it is fun. I kind of went into it reluctantly.
Like, they needed a fourth, and McCarthy was like, hey, come play some pickleball.

Speaker 1 And I was like, okay, I'll. But then by the end of it, we were like, we didn't want to stop.

Speaker 1 We rented an hour, a court for an hour. We extended it.
You don't have to be.

Speaker 1 You don't have to be that athletic. You don't have to, like, you know, your body, you're not going to be like dead tired after playing pickleball.

Speaker 1 No, but it still makes you feel like you did something, like you're doing something. You got to try? I swear.
I played it like twice and I hated it both times.

Speaker 1 It's not bad to play, but the whole act of like getting the racket, reserving the court. I didn't do any of that.
Driving to the pickleball court is embarrassing.

Speaker 1 I've also never done it, but I feel like it's a good couples. It can be, you know, co-ed.

Speaker 1 It's not that much of a skill gap.

Speaker 1 If we're talking about athletics, there was a moment that I'm maybe not super proud of, but my kids were playing on the trampoline in the house I rented, and I lowered the hoop to eight and a half and just fucking yammed for like 30 minutes.

Speaker 1 That's sick. That's awesome.
But just wasn't watching my kids. Like, trampolines are kind of dangerous.
Oh, I was just having a yam session. I thought you were talking about like the

Speaker 1 basket like the pool. No, there was a court and then a trampoline next to it, and they were in the trampoline, and I was supposed to be watching them, and I was just fucking throwing down.

Speaker 1 But you should have seen some of the dunks I was throwing down, dude. It felt so awesome.
I had the boys from Hard Factor came up, stayed with me, and then Pug came over on the 4th of July.

Speaker 1 Pug is a big cigar guy. So Pug brought.
How many cigars did you bring out, Pug? I didn't know that about you, Paul. Yeah, he brought like seven or eight.
He hit up the group chat.

Speaker 1 He was like, I'm bringing cigars. And I was like, oh, hell yeah.
I'm excited about that. You ever pull a Clinton?

Speaker 1 I don't know. What does that mean? Put a cigar in a pussy?

Speaker 1 No. Okay.
The cigars were good, though. The people enjoyed the cigars.
Cigars rocked. It was a good time.

Speaker 1 I love cigars. NASCAR recap hug.

Speaker 1 NASCAR was awesome. The 99 driver did not do great, which was tough, but it was a good time.
Good vibes.

Speaker 1 I might be a NASCAR guy now. Love they did the street race this year.
It wasn't rained out. Yeah, I saw the clouds.
I was like, oh, yep. I was thinking it comes.

Speaker 1 It started to downpour like right after the race ended. Oh,

Speaker 1 hell yes. Pug.

Speaker 1 All right, everyone. Everyone else? Memes, you had a good.
Oh, you were sick.

Speaker 1 Got sick. Niece coughed right in my mouth.
That was it. That was it.
That's all she really knew. But got caught up on the office.
So my word. Wait, what? You got caught up on the office? Got caught.

Speaker 1 Re-caught back up. Re-caught back up.
Get on me going again. I'm like, meme, meme, meme.
Meme, meme, meme, me. Oh, so many memes.

Speaker 1 It's the all-time gift show, right? Yeah. Did you make any?

Speaker 1 Like, did you actually mentally? Were you watching? Were you like, all right, this is a meme? Oh, you found new ones? Yeah, you find new ones. What's the the best one you found?

Speaker 1 There's a bunch in season six. I don't know.
Follow the part of my take count. Okay.
They will be posted. There's a good clip there.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'm so excited for this. There we go.
You just

Speaker 1 reloaded the clip. Yeah, I've got like three years worth in there.
Didn't we do that? I feel like maybe the first year part of my take, we got really high on the RV. And then we drove

Speaker 1 watching SpongeBob trying to find new SpongeBob memes to use. Yeah.
That was on the way to Atlanta. Atlanta.

Speaker 1 It was with us,

Speaker 1 Kate, and Roan.

Speaker 1 Rob did not like us smoking on the bus. Or watching SpongeBob.
He was a business. Or watching.
He ran away. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I got so high that Larry, the bus driver, like put me into a mental crisis. Yeah.
Because he had a conversation with me. I was so high.
I had a nervous breakdown.

Speaker 1 I had to go back to my hotel room. He'll do that.

Speaker 1 Numbers. Three.
fuck

Speaker 1 33. I gotta say, it was so nice going away for a week and knowing that we had already taped all the numbers, so there was no chance you could get it.

Speaker 1 Like, it felt good.

Speaker 1 What were you gonna say, Max? I mean, that's never. Are you worried about him ever getting it? That's what kind of what you're alluding to.
That's true, that's true. Uh,

Speaker 1 three, what'd you say? 33

Speaker 1 21.

Speaker 1 Ooh, he's almost

Speaker 1 almost said 99. He was looking at Shane.
What? That's Shane's number.

Speaker 1 Right in Shane's face.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go 73.

Speaker 1 99 Pug

Speaker 1 6.

Speaker 1 16.

Speaker 1 21 LT Jet.

Speaker 1 85 Gates. Oh,

Speaker 1 okay.

Speaker 1 We're off to Tahoe on Monday, so we'll have some content coming up. We're going to do a couple videos, but now we're going to figure out how to eat a hot dog and run on.

Speaker 1 I'm excited. Do we have a drone? Are we bringing a drone? Yeah.
Should we also get a hard time? Oh, the drone shot of us running 100 yards is going to be awesome.

Speaker 1 Should we be wearing a hot dog outfit? We could. I think ideally.

Speaker 1 Zach, can you get on that?

Speaker 1 Zach, that's literally just finding a hot dog outfit. One, or we each need we need to trade in.

Speaker 1 Okay, yeah, yeah. It's going to be so smelly by the time.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 We're just going to

Speaker 1 get one. It's disgusting.
Yeah. Just want to go first.
It's 100 yards. Yeah, but meters.
Whatever. It's going to be hot.

Speaker 1 Someone's going to pee. How much, how

Speaker 1 disgusting?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you're excited to see. How disgusting could you make a hot dog thing? Oh, Max could do damage.
And you're going to be eating a hot dog, too. The hot dog smell is going to get in there.

Speaker 1 Zach, how would you say you run?

Speaker 1 Poorly. Okay.

Speaker 1 I expected that.

Speaker 1 All right. Let me say their number again, real quick.
36. 33.
73. 12.
