We have Hot Seat, Cool Throne. We're doing the Mount Rushmore

Yes. Things that make your friend's house cool.

Speaker 1 Part of my take!

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 part of my take!

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 part of my take!

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 part of my take!

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 part and my take!

Speaker 1 Welcome to Pardon My Take. Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 1 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.
Today is Wednesday, August 20th, and we got some quarterbacks, boys.

Speaker 1 Daniel Daniel Jones is back.

Speaker 1 Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones.
So Daniel Jones has won the QB battle in Indianapolis. That 2014 AFC finalist banner belongs in a museum.
Oh, man.

Speaker 1 I feel like Giants fans should make a presentation for the Colts. Yeah.
Just being like, hey, here's what you're about to experience.

Speaker 1 It's an experience. So we've noticed that you're dealing with acute bout of Daniel Jones as your starting starting quarterback.
You can call me crazy. I think he might be good.

Speaker 1 Better than you think Daniel Jones is. Okay, so

Speaker 1 here is why

Speaker 1 he was in the room with Kevin O'Connell. Here's why I'm nervous about Daniel Jones.
Well, the obvious, he's Daniel Jones. That would be stating the very obvious.

Speaker 1 I believe this is a decision made under duress by Shane Steichen.

Speaker 1 He's kind of had his hand force.

Speaker 1 Very much on the hot seat. And he basically is in the worst place you want to be as an organization where it's like, I'm going to get fired.
I got to find a way to eke out like six or seven wins.

Speaker 1 And Anthony Richardson has struggled, but he obviously probably has more upside, or at least he's still,

Speaker 1 people could still sell themselves on Anthony Richardson, but Daniel Jones gives you a higher floor.

Speaker 1 I think Anthony Richardson might be younger than some of the rookies this year. Yeah.
So he is. He's definitely younger than Shador.
Yeah. He's still definitely, he's a project, not completed project.

Speaker 1 Not even really like, he's a project that you have given consideration to starting he is uh an ikea furniture project that you've laid out all of the tools you haven't started putting anything together like what the fuck kind of wrench is this yeah oh did i did i

Speaker 1 you hear that like the drop of a of a piece of hardware you're like fuck where'd that go i lost something oh no you turn to page two and uh you're like i don't have this i don't have this piece yeah it's just not here throw throwing uh with touch i don't have this piece well Daniel Jones would be a project that you reach the end of, and you're like, he's like fully baked.

Speaker 1 Oh, this is, and then you've got 90 pieces left that you didn't use when you constructed it. And you're like, this is going to break.

Speaker 1 And you're also like, this is not looking what it looked like in the showroom. Not at all.
Like, I thought I bought one thing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's basically seeing a commercial for a cheeseburger and then getting it at a drive-through. I went to, I purchased a Manning.
I thought I got a Manning. And it's a Simeon.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What just happened here? I had the Brooks Brother Manning model.

Speaker 1 And yeah, we ended up with a Simeon. TJ Maxx.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, I mean, Daniel Jones, when I say he's going to be good, I would be shocked if he was like a Pro Bowl level quarterback, but I think he could be serviceable. Don't.

Speaker 1 There could be like seven or eight people who opt out of the Pro Bowl. It's true, Tyler Huntley.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't think he's going to be one of the better quarterbacks in the AFC, but I do think he could be good enough to win like eight games.

Speaker 1 I mean, Daniel Jones has had a good year. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He'll be very funny. Fast, he is fast, he is the fastest quarterback in the well, not inside the 20.
He's got like a quarterback at the 20. Daniel, that is true.

Speaker 1 By the way, did you see this is totally off? Not Daniel's, not Daniel's, but Daniel. Uh, did you totally sideways here?

Speaker 1 But did you see we're getting the first Bob in the in major league baseball in 15 years? That's great. We had we haven't had a Bob in 15 years, a Bob Drought.
A Tampa Bay Ray is named Bob.

Speaker 1 I love that. There are a lot of Bobs in baseball history, but 15 years without a Bob? What happened to Bob? Way too long.
What about Bob?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Itty bitty titties into Bob. Itty-bitty titties into Bob.

Speaker 1 I wonder what those girls are up to these days. Probably killing it.
Yeah, they're definitely.

Speaker 1 Absolutely.

Speaker 1 But I think with Daniel Jones, the funniest possible outcome would be if he played kind of okay, maybe got to the playoffs, then they gave him a big contract and they didn't give Jonathan Taylor a new contract.

Speaker 1 And then Jonathan Taylor went to the Eagles and ruined everyone's dreams. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That feels like that could happen. Now, Anthony Richardson, him and his agent, they're not happy with what?

Speaker 1 Because the Colts, they feel like the Colts are giving up on them. Oh, that makes sense.

Speaker 1 I say maybe they're not giving up on him. Maybe they're just encouraging him to kind of, you know, he didn't get a full college experience.
He was a young kid. Maybe he needs to do more experimenting.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Maybe try out tight end.
See if you like it. Oh, you're getting on your Bill Polynesian.
You're getting a little freaky. I don't know.
But there is a chance that something happens.

Speaker 1 Maybe Daniel Jones doesn't play well at all. And then Shane Steichen being a coach that needs to save his job.
He's like,

Speaker 1 if I put Richardson in and he happens to play really well, maybe I can stick around for you. You do have the

Speaker 1 Anthony Richardson button that you can press.

Speaker 1 Whereas the Daniel Jones button is not as fun. No.
It just isn't. It's not really even a button.
No. It's just like a

Speaker 1 curtain that you pull down by hand. Yeah.
It comes out. Yeah, it's the old window in the car that you're pranking.
Yeah, it's a crank window. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, that was, I think we said that that was going to happen, right? Yeah. We thought that it was going to be Daniel Jones.
Who knows? Maybe he did get fixed in Minnesota.

Speaker 1 DJ, if I were a GM, I would, if the agent was mad, I would just play dumb. I'd be like, why are you mad? Yeah.
Well, you're not playing my quarterback. I'd be like, oh, okay.
But you know,

Speaker 1 I guess. You thought that we were going to play? Yeah, yeah.
Just be like, all right, well, we'll look at it. I'll get back to you.

Speaker 1 That sounds like that's a you problem for thinking that we were going to do that. Yeah, see, why are you triggered, bro? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Why are you triggered about this? We We got a golf cart going by. We're at Camp Barstool.
And then the Browns. Browns.
As expected by us, Joe Flacco is starting the season for the Cleveland Browns.

Speaker 1 Did you see that Stabler was at Cleveland Browns practice today? No.

Speaker 1 Elliot Stabler from SVU. Okay.

Speaker 1 Literally from SVU.

Speaker 1 Was at the Cleveland Browns practice today on the sideline watching. What was he doing? Just hanging out? I thought maybe they're filming an episode.
He might be. I don't know.

Speaker 1 Some Browns that could be an episode.

Speaker 1 2025 Browns presented by Dick wolf um yeah the

Speaker 1 browns now like i hope joe flacco goes back to the to the playoffs and they're like what'd you do that last what'd you do that middle flacco year yeah why didn't you have flacco yeah you had flacco you let go flacco go flacco's back it's always been joe flacco i'm ruined for flacco something about that spiral he's both an entertainer and a competitor yeah it is funny now looking at afc north quarterbacks flacco rogers

Speaker 1 uh Lamar Burrow. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's it the division of quarterbacks. Division of quarterbacks.
Listen, two guys have the two old guys have Super Bowls. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Some guys haven't done it. That's true.
They both had the exact same number of Super Bowls. People forget that.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It is funny, too, like, looking at, I tweeted that, I think I said it last week, the quarterback ages where I changed Jordan Love's age, but seeing the bottom where it's like, if you win a Super Bowl, you just get to be a quarterback till you're 50.

Speaker 1 Exactly. Yeah, it's pretty funny.
People will always be like, well, you won a Super Bowl. And speaking as a 40-year-old, it's important that I see a guy like Joe Flacco out there representing me.

Speaker 1 That's facts. We could still play in the NFL.

Speaker 1 Other quarterback news,

Speaker 1 Matthew Stafford might have died. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I fully believe that what the Rams have done in that room, the table that they had, what was it called again? It was a mortal table.

Speaker 1 I think it was

Speaker 1 a human charger. The human charger is actually just a cloning machine.
It was one of those.

Speaker 1 They 3D printed a quarterback. You know, you have the iPhone charger, and then you can buy like the pad pad that you just rest it on, and it never charges as fast as the cord.

Speaker 1 He has the pad, so we need to put the cord up his butt. But I don't know if that's actually Matt Stafford, right? So

Speaker 1 a hashtag started Matthew Stafford died, or Stafford died weeks ago, and people are running with the theory that he's dead and this is a clone because he finally was at practice on Monday.

Speaker 1 I'm not saying

Speaker 1 I don't believe it. I do.

Speaker 1 There's a 1% chance I believe it. Avril Levine.
Yeah. I wonder if this is the same thing.
He was Matt Safford is good. I said, see you later, boy.
Do we think this Matt Safford's good?

Speaker 1 I don't think he's going to be as good.

Speaker 1 Copy is never as good as the original. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Some sequels are pretty good. Hank, you alluded to

Speaker 1 you have a hot take.

Speaker 1 You said you have a take that you wanted to get off. I want to double down.
Oh. Okay.

Speaker 1 And what is it? Oh, no. I know what he's going to say.
Go for it. Patriots? Nope.
Well, that too. But no, we talked about the.
Oh, no.

Speaker 1 Come on, dude. We're going to lose fans.

Speaker 1 No, we're not. We should gain fans.
It's a football field. It's the same dimensions.
It's the same place.

Speaker 1 People are having so twisted where it's like, if we want this to be the biggest event in the world, we should have it. I don't care.

Speaker 1 Here's the thing. People might have missed one day.

Speaker 1 Hold on.

Speaker 1 The more people are getting upset with me, the more, like, it makes more sense. Like, oh, play football in America.
Take points away.

Speaker 1 Take points away.

Speaker 1 Take points away. So football for me.
People who miss Monday's show, Hank. There's no difference.
Thinks that we should have a Super Bowl in London.

Speaker 1 I didn't really care when I said it, but then the reaction really, really

Speaker 1 made me.

Speaker 1 That's a great sign of maturity.

Speaker 1 To not actually believe your take, but then when people get mad at you, you're like, well, I was like, I said

Speaker 1 how was the reaction? I said to suck my dick from the back. And then you went online and you're like, oh, people don't like this.
Well, yeah, but you guys said that to anything. anything.

Speaker 1 I said, no, poo-poo, poo-poo, poo-poo.

Speaker 1 Are you fresh now?

Speaker 1 Hank, listen, the Super Bowl is played in America. It's played on a football field in America.
Not on a soccer field. Exactly.
Boom point us. Oh, no, they can bring in football fields.
Turf masters.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, those always work. Shout out to one guy who, like, maybe 12 hours after the show came out on Monday, tweeted me so confidently, being like, what don't you understand?

Speaker 1 They'll play the game at 6 p.m. like Eastern Time.
It will just be 1 p.m. in London.
No, it won't. No, it won't.
It's going to be hard.

Speaker 1 It's going to be 11 o'clock at night. It's hard.
It's hard.

Speaker 1 It's all playing a game at midnight. It's going to be 11 o'clock at night, which is going to suck.

Speaker 1 Everyone's clock is going to be screwed up. That's associated with the game that's playing in the game.

Speaker 1 The Super Bowl is played

Speaker 1 in America

Speaker 1 by American teams. It belongs in America.
It does not belong over.

Speaker 1 It does not belong

Speaker 1 overseas because you're making me so mad. Hank.
Because your take is so so wildly incorrect.

Speaker 1 What has Europe ever done? Why do they have

Speaker 1 football games there in the first place? What has Europe done to display? Why do they have football games in the first place? Answer me this. Why do we play with the game? Really games in Brazil.

Speaker 1 Real me that. Why do we play games in London?

Speaker 1 Why do we have all the games in the world? The Germans, dude. Exactly.

Speaker 1 You know what? Exactly. You know what? You either die one of the Brady four or you live long enough to become a Goodell.
And Hank,

Speaker 1 you've become a Goodell. You're a corporate Hank.
Yeah, corporate Hank. Put a suit on for

Speaker 1 Friday's show.

Speaker 1 Hank, you do have a desk again. That was actually jarring to see.
Hank hasn't had a desk in like a year and a half. And I just walked by yesterday.
He was like, what the fuck are you doing?

Speaker 1 You're sitting in a chair? He's like, yeah, I got a desk.

Speaker 1 Hank, the Super Bowl, I would say.

Speaker 1 I would make the argument the Super Bowl is the most important thing we do as a country.

Speaker 1 We create the Super Bowl every year. We have a season, a football season that creates the Super Bowl.
To give that to another country is disgusting. I'm disgusted with you.
I want to puke on you.

Speaker 1 Listen, I know it's good. You guys get, you know, pro-America, like you pander.

Speaker 1 No, it's kind of pro-American. But it's more just like...
It's better for the sport. It's better for the show.
It's better for us. It's better for everyone.
Hank, why don't we?

Speaker 1 Why the fuck don't we play the Masters in England?

Speaker 1 Let's just play the Masters. No, let's play the Masters.
That's the literally worst example. No, it's not.
They don't have football.

Speaker 1 No, it's not. You could have said the U.S.
Open because that's played in a different venue every year. The Masters play the Open Open Open Organization.
You'd want the U.S.

Speaker 1 Open to be played in England? Well, no, they have the Open. Okay.
Well, they have week eight, Jaguars versus Titans. Hank, what about the Final Four? Would you like to see that overseas, too?

Speaker 1 Yeah, you probably would, you sick pervert. No, they don't have colleges in England.
Oh, they don't have colleges. They don't have NFL teams there.
But they have NFL games there.

Speaker 1 They don't play college games. Okay,

Speaker 1 they play college games

Speaker 1 abroad. Do they? Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 They played on the aircraft carrier. Yeah.
International waters, bro. They don't have colleges in Europe is one of the best takes.

Speaker 1 They're universities. You You actually,

Speaker 1 Zach,

Speaker 1 I could see how it could open up to more fans. Yeah.
Yo, Zach, get out of there.

Speaker 1 PFT, let's quit. Let's quit.
This is what I want.

Speaker 1 Let's fuck out. We're done with you guys.
Pardon my America. Hank, listen, it's okay to take pride in your country.
It's a fucking game. You're going to watch it the same way.

Speaker 1 You're going to enjoy the same way. It's not.
Here's why it's not. It is.
No, it's not. Because

Speaker 1 time zones. Because then

Speaker 1 all of a sudden, travel becomes a real issue for the Super Bowl. It becomes the culture over there becomes a real issue for the Super Bowl.
You know how long? How far away is London?

Speaker 1 Hank, you know how long it takes Super Bowl cities. Oh, it takes six hours to get to Super Bowl.
Shut the fuck up, Hank. It's an extra two hours.
Shut the fuck up. What's the difference?

Speaker 1 Because American cities have planned for Super Bowl. We know how to do Super Bowls in well.
They don't know how to do that overseas. What if we just did this? What if you just go to England and play?

Speaker 1 And also, by the way, someone was said that if you think you you can play golf in England in February, I said the whole time it had nothing to do with golf. But it does.
But you didn't mean that.

Speaker 1 It's February. You don't mean that.
It's February. I do mean that.
You don't mean that.

Speaker 1 You should want all Super Bowls in America in warm weather climates where you can play golf.

Speaker 1 That would be selfish of me, and I'm not selfish. I care about the show.
I care about growing the show. I care about growing the beautiful game of football, which we all love.

Speaker 1 I heard from a bunch of AWLs over in England saying, Fuck Hank, keep it in America. Yep, I heard the same thing.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 PFT said pardon my America, which is actually like anti-America. Yep, that's like what a lib would say to someone who's like very anti-American.

Speaker 1 Shut up, Max. Yeah, Max.

Speaker 1 You don't want the Super Bowl overseas either.

Speaker 4 No, I do. I think it'd be fun.

Speaker 1 No, you wouldn't know what time to put the show out.

Speaker 1 No, you're still trying to figure out what time to show up.

Speaker 4 I figured out I would have more time to put out the show.

Speaker 1 How much is Goodell paying you guys? Seriously, because

Speaker 1 it's one, two, three. You don't have to worry about Goodell paying it.
This guy right there. I thought so.
I thought that until this whole weird thing you're doing, maybe, you know what, PFT?

Speaker 1 They're just going through a phase. They're lashing out.
They want to do a little broad. You guys are lashing out.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're not lashing out. You squashed,

Speaker 1 you're closed-minded, and you're not realizing the world we live in today. I think Hank just realizes that the Patriots won't be in a Super Bowl, so he doesn't care.

Speaker 1 He's like, Yes, you don't see it will be a Super Bowl for the Commanders. No, that's not true either.
You want to double down? No, double down. Double down, double down, double down, double down.

Speaker 1 $50,000. I don't think I can afford to double down.
$50,000.

Speaker 1 Double down. Put your money where your mouth is.
What would that mean? Talk is cheap. Hold on, hold on.
Double down, but if there's a Super Bowl in England in the next 10 years,

Speaker 1 your debt is wiped clean. If there's a Super Bowl in England? Yeah.

Speaker 1 You're not going to wipe that debt. No, he gets an out.
If the Super Bowl is in England, then you have to pay me in British pounds.

Speaker 4 I think that'll be more money.

Speaker 1 You never know.

Speaker 1 That's actually very anti-American of them.

Speaker 1 Do you not believe in our dollar? For not believing

Speaker 1 in the U.S. dollar.
Stand currency. Brexit.
Yeah. Max always thinks that the pounds are way higher than you thought they'd be.

Speaker 1 Look at the scale, buddy.

Speaker 1 Zach, what did you think about that one? I think everybody waits fluctuate. Everybody's weights fluctuation.

Speaker 1 Zach is just not in this conversation. He's just sitting here like a neutral observer.
Okay.

Speaker 1 What, Max?

Speaker 4 I have nothing to say.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's what I thought. The field will look the same.
No one won't. No, it won't.

Speaker 1 It's still training there, dude. They have dome.
No, they don't. I think they do.
You know what? You know what won't be the same? They won't serve beer. They don't serve beer during soccer games.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 They did serve beer at football game London.

Speaker 1 Shut the fuck up, Max.

Speaker 4 I'm the only one who's been to a football game in London in this room.

Speaker 1 Would you want the Super Bowl there? Did they have a dome? It was fun.

Speaker 4 I would like to go back.

Speaker 1 Was it in a dome?

Speaker 4 It was not in the dome.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they don't have domes. Listen, I'm talking domes.
I think throw a tarp on the roof. If you want to play,

Speaker 1 if you want to play Commanders Dolphins in Madrid during the regular season, that's fine.

Speaker 1 What is the Go have it.

Speaker 1 Go have at it. No one cares.
Yeah, that's like. The Super Bowl in Madrid would be awesome, too.
No, it wouldn't. Italy? You just never want the Super Bowl in America again.
I don't care.

Speaker 1 It's a neutral site every year. You want it in China? China.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you do. You do.
You want it in China?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 How about Jacksonville? Yes. Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 That sounds good.

Speaker 4 Jacksonville is basically a different country.

Speaker 1 No, Jacksonville is the Australia of the United States. Yeah.
Yeah. Exactly.

Speaker 1 That'll kill you. Everyone there is a convict.

Speaker 1 We did an abroad Super Bowl last year in New Orleans. Yeah.
This shit is French as fuck. I like New Orleans.
Yeah, I do too. That's what I'm saying.
It's a different country.

Speaker 1 Also,

Speaker 1 you ever thought about this? The fans. The fans, Hank.
Yep. This is the other point that also is just people are full of shit.
Normal fans are priced out of the Super Bowl already.

Speaker 1 But some of them still go to the city. Some of them still go.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 it's already

Speaker 1 expensive. I disagree with you.

Speaker 1 In 2013, it was like six. Like, I know

Speaker 1 it's

Speaker 1 like and do a big change. But it's the same thing, you can still save up and go to London.
Not everybody has daddy Portnoy getting you into the game saying, I had to pay, I had to pay Dave

Speaker 1 five grand out of my own pocket when I had no money in my name. I had to pay him like 200 bucks a paycheck for like four months.
Max, were there regular fans in the Super Bowl?

Speaker 1 Uh, I,

Speaker 1 yeah, okay, thank you. But rest our case, I didn't those same regular fans could go to fuck them.
No, no, they don't pass because you think the city of Philadelphia has a passport?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I have a passport. Oh, there you go, Max.
You don't live in the city of Philadelphia. That's true.
But yeah, hey.

Speaker 1 So it's already super expensive to go to the game if you buy a ticket. What about getting to you? Want them to pay an additional like $7,000 to go to the game? $7,000?

Speaker 1 What team's fan base has the least amount of passports? Is it the Jaguars? Raiders.

Speaker 1 Raiders? Raiders as well.

Speaker 1 Jaguars.

Speaker 1 Cardinals is a good one.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Let's see. Maybe.

Speaker 1 No, because I was thinking, like,

Speaker 1 Bills definitely do. Bills definitely do.
Like, anything on the border, Vikings, Packers, yeah.

Speaker 1 I would say the Rams prior to the LA move. Steelers, maybe? Steelers fans, yeah.
Could be up there. This is Steelers.

Speaker 1 Someone's just. Yeah, I'm going to say.
Someone's just banging because they're so upset with what Hank's doing. That's Danny Conrad.
Is there a world of compromise where it's like one here, one there?

Speaker 1 What did you say? Is there a world of compromise where it's one here, one there, and flip third? Why do we have to compromise? Why do we have to compromise with England? But hear me out.

Speaker 1 We won a war for it. Then there's possibly two series situation.
What do you mean? Super Bowl Sunday twice. One here, one there? You mean two Super Bowls in one here? One Sundays?

Speaker 1 Like a home and home? One here. You're turning into soccer.
It's on aggregate out? Oh, God. A road touchdown class for 14? I would take a best of Super Super Super Super Super.

Speaker 1 I would take a best of three. Super Bowl Bow Bow Bow Bowl would be awesome.
I would take a best of three Super Bowl. Yeah, that would actually rock.

Speaker 1 In aggregate, yeah, or in aggregate, that would actually rock.

Speaker 1 I just

Speaker 1 don't get an extra football. I just don't like the idea.
Listen, you might call me too patriotic. I'll wear that.

Speaker 1 Closed-minded. Yeah, whatever you want to call me.
I think that

Speaker 1 the Super Bowl

Speaker 1 should be in America. At least we're not fucking pussy bitches that just suck off Roger Goodell.
I mean, that's, I mean, you know, I literally got arrested in the United States. Long time ago.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Long time ago.
All right, what else do we have?

Speaker 1 That was good. Good, good.
I think we almost... I actually covered everything.
We We might have gotten Supreme Debate there. Yeah, we did.
Feelings could have gotten hurt.

Speaker 1 I think we all got in a trip. I appreciate Zach.
Zach, Zach having my back there. I got it.
First time. I got one more news story.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Before we get into the rest of the show, it's just BYU's new starting quarterback. Yes.
So they named a true freshman, their starting quarterback. He wears number 47.
Ew. Okay.

Speaker 1 He better be running people over. Like,

Speaker 1 this better be a Taysom Hill. Like the 40s? No, different number.

Speaker 1 What? Never mind. 41.

Speaker 1 I don't know if that was the TikTok number. All right, so this guy's a true freshman.
He's going to wear 47.

Speaker 1 I'll say this. I'm going to hate it, but if he's good, it's going to be awesome.
It's going to be great.

Speaker 1 As a college quarter. NFL, it's not going to work.
His name is Bear. Bear? B-E-A-R.
His name's Bear Bachmeier.

Speaker 1 Wait.

Speaker 1 He's Hank's younger brother? Well,

Speaker 1 I'm out. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hurt by this guy.

Speaker 1 I can't be hurt by this family anymore.

Speaker 1 You ruined the setup. Why? His name's Bear Bachmeyer.
His older brother is named Tiger Bachmeier. Okay.
And then their oldest brother is Hank

Speaker 1 Bachmeyer. Can't do it.
But the pair. I was just thinking about the parents.

Speaker 1 When they have their firstborn child, they had to be thinking like, we're going to name them like Tiger and Bear and shit. And then the baby comes out and they're like.

Speaker 1 Not this one.

Speaker 1 This one's a Hank. I'm sorry I cut you off, but I did.
This is a government name.

Speaker 1 The last name is triggering to me. Is Hank Bachmeyer still in college? I'm sure he is.

Speaker 1 I'm going to bet a game on a Saturday. He's definitely not.
Turn it on, and they're going to be like, Hank Bachmeyer drops back to the college. I think that was too long ago.

Speaker 1 I don't think his brother's still in college. There's also probably a family.
It's named after. Tiger is still in college.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 They probably had to name Henry after a relative.

Speaker 1 Keep the name in the family. And then they were just like, fuck it.
I just think they met the first baby and they're like, nah, this is probably a soccer fan. We're going to name him Hank.

Speaker 1 And then second one, yeah.

Speaker 1 Tiger is now at Stanford, I believe, which is pretty cool. The most famous guy named Tiger to ever go to Stanford.
I'm checking Hank Pachbunter eligibility. I think he's really true.
He's in 2024.

Speaker 1 Okay, he's done. I believe so.
He's done. We're done.
He played 2019 through 2024. He played a lot of college.

Speaker 1 But I think Bear, I think he's a true freshman, so he's probably also the youngest starting quarterback in BYU history. I'm going to give Bear one chance.
Yeah. I'm going to bet on Bear.

Speaker 1 Bad start. You can't pick that.
You put hard-earned money on a team and you see a quarterback coming out wearing number 47. You don't like 47? I like it.
It's a great brand. Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 It's on the side of her hats right now. It's a great brand, great hats.
Terrible number for a quarterback. By the way, speaking of college football, congratulations to Auburn Tigers.

Speaker 1 Oh, that was going to be my. Oh, sorry.
Yeah. We can get to it then.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, then, let's do it.
Let's get to our hot seat cool throne because we got more stuff to talk about, and then we'll do our Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 1 Okay, hot sequence. Oh, by the way, PFT, that was a fun Monday night football game.
It was a very fun Monday night. I should have said something about that.
No, it was great.

Speaker 1 It had pretty much everything I was looking for. Bill, Jakore, Krosky Merritt.
I told you guys about him right after we visited Ashburn. This dude is smooth.
He's got a great first cut. He's fast.

Speaker 1 He's got not a lot of wear on his tires because he didn't play last season in college football. And he changed his name.

Speaker 1 Well, his name's Bill. He goes by Bill.
His mom calls him Bill. I'm not going to say why because it involves Bill Cosby, but his name's Bill, and he's awesome.

Speaker 1 You didn't say why. And I love him.

Speaker 1 And he looked awesome last night. He was a lot of fun to watch.
And then Jaden Daniels is still very, very fast and very, very good at quarterback.

Speaker 1 And he needs to learn how to slide, especially in preseason games, because that was scary for me.

Speaker 1 But then he went and he redeemed himself because after Bill scored his touchdown, Jaden sprints across the field because Bill spiked it and got rid of the ball.

Speaker 1 Jaden had the presence of mind, grabbed that ball, got it back for his teammate. Here's your first NFL touchdown.
That's leadership. Debo looked very fast.
He looked very skinny. What did you say?

Speaker 1 Fast. Fast.
Fast.

Speaker 1 He got skinny through the hole through the crease. And

Speaker 1 Sam Hartman, really good looking guy. Happy birthday.

Speaker 1 Happy birthday. How did Terry play? Terry was resting.
How are we at with Terry? I'm actually more confident now than I was last week. You were at 110%.

Speaker 1 Because I think Jaden Daniels, when he was asked about Terry and he was like, yeah, it's just a matter of time before he comes in the door. Hearing Jaden say that, that inspired me.

Speaker 1 Well, he's been coming in the door.

Speaker 1 Well, he's yeah, he's holding in. So he hits it coming in the door.
Well, he said he's going to be stepping onto the field. Got it.
Or he'd be on the field, too.

Speaker 1 He's going to be stepping in between the lines on the field. Got it.
All right, I'm glad we cleared that up, Hank.

Speaker 1 I think Terry is going to sign my prediction, my official prediction.

Speaker 1 I think he's signing today. Whoa.
I think he's signing on Wednesday. Do you have a little birdie? No.

Speaker 1 Inside my own brain. Okay.

Speaker 1 The crazy bird inside my own brain is telling me he's going to sign today.

Speaker 4 Remember when you said you were going to go sign him when we went to Commander's Camp?

Speaker 1 He wasn't there that day. Yeah, so you can't call another signing? You can't just.

Speaker 1 He would have signed today and say that you're going to call his signing. I didn't call the signing then.
I said

Speaker 1 I would personally sign him, but he wasn't there.

Speaker 1 I thought he was holding in. He wasn't at camp that day.
He was getting treatment on his ankle.

Speaker 4 Oh. That makes sense.
His ankle is probably really hurt.

Speaker 1 It's a bad ankle. That's why he hasn't practiced.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 He's still in the pup, right?

Speaker 1 No, he just got off the pup, right?

Speaker 1 Just got deactivated from the pup.

Speaker 4 So his ankle's fine now?

Speaker 1 Yep. Got it.
Ankle's good. He will be signing.
My prediction is today.

Speaker 1 But it could not be today, but I'm pretty sure it's today. Okay.
It seems like you got a birdie.

Speaker 1 I literally have no birdie. There's no birdie involved in this.
My only birdie is Jaden Daniels sounding like he was happy about Terry. Context clues.
But that's a big birdie for me.

Speaker 1 That's a big, that's a huge birdie. Jaden Daniels is like what he says.

Speaker 1 My life and happiness fluctuates depending on Jaden Daniels' mood

Speaker 1 at any given time.

Speaker 4 What about when Jaden Daniels takes like a 15-yard sack and he still wakes up or stands up smiling?

Speaker 1 Like he's always happy. Yeah, he leads the league and smiles.
So

Speaker 4 sometimes bad things happen to Jaden Daniels and he still seems happy.

Speaker 1 Okay. Is it good quality to have?

Speaker 4 No, I'm saying that, but if you're basing...

Speaker 1 It's like a deflection.

Speaker 1 Terry McLaurin should have signed every day because Jaden Daniels always.

Speaker 4 Jaden Daniel, like, I feel like Jaden Daniels' happiness does not dictate things that are going on around him.

Speaker 1 I feel like you're going to feel really stupid if I'm right. Well, I, and we, I've been on your side.
I think Terry McLaurin will sign with the, with the Washington Commanders. I think he will.

Speaker 1 And no, there's no birdie. I have no inside information.
This is mostly me just wish casting and hoping against hope that

Speaker 1 it's going to get done because I don't want to think about going to the season without Terry because that makes me very sad.

Speaker 1 But would make me very happy is if he signed today and then I'd be happy and then I wouldn't have to hear Max.

Speaker 1 So that's my, that's, that is literally why I'm predicting that he's going to sign today. I like that.
I like that. All right, Hank, your hot seat cool drawn.

Speaker 1 My hot seat is LeBron James. Oh,

Speaker 1 it's been the offseason. You know, he's old.
He, he probably should be taking more time to get ready and prepared and get his body ready. And he's just spent the whole summer golfing.
Wow.

Speaker 1 He's just not locked in. He's not focused on

Speaker 1 the task at hand. Wow.
Well, I think it's important.

Speaker 1 I think it's like something, you know, that's something for when you're retired, but, you know, in the summer, in the offseason, there is no offseason in his industry. What about ours?

Speaker 1 There is no offseason in LeBron's industry.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 far in this podcast,

Speaker 1 you've become

Speaker 1 a Roger Goodell dick sucker who likes to be a little bit of a damned girl.

Speaker 1 You also

Speaker 1 once said the word Roger Goodell. You brought it up.

Speaker 1 And those are also two words. Yeah, and you just did.
Oh, I never said his name before that. Okay.

Speaker 1 Never said it. Never said it.
Is he getting better?

Speaker 1 A little bit. I don't know.
I haven't seen him post a score. Something told me.
Are you talking about Goodell?

Speaker 1 No. Oh.

Speaker 1 LeBron. Something to do.
You have to clarify when you're talking about anyone, if it's Goodell or LeBron. Okay.

Speaker 1 Your two favorite people.

Speaker 1 LeBron screams, put me down as a par guy, though. Oh,

Speaker 1 we're really call shaming.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. Okay.

Speaker 1 And then your cool throne? My cool throne is Justin Herbert. Here there's a handicap.
I started limping. Yeah.
My cool throne is Justin Herbert.

Speaker 1 Madison Beer. Do you guys know who that is? Yeah.
He was on set, like, holding hands with her ash at a music video shoot.

Speaker 1 That's QB1 activity. I agree.
I think this is actually Justin Herbert's breakout season. Yeah.
I like it. Like getting the hot girlfriend.
He's now.

Speaker 1 So what's uh, tell me about Madison Beer because aside from having a great name, is she a talented artist? Literally, my college. Yeah, no,

Speaker 1 it literally translates to that's what I that's what I did went to college for. It literally means spotted cow.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 I would say

Speaker 1 her

Speaker 1 player comp would be Megan Fox.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's a good player comp. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But Madison Beer is an artiste. She is a musical artiste, Twitch artiste.
What's right, Zach? Yes, well, Twitch artiste, musical artiste, socialite artiste kind of situation as well. Yeah.

Speaker 1 She nails out.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to go rapid reaction image search Madison beer. Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Guy loves beer. Yep.

Speaker 1 Taylor's all the time. Yep.
So good for Justin Herbert. Looks like a very nice lady.
Good for him. Good for him.
So he's probably going to be happy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Maybe a little tired. Maybe his

Speaker 1 maybe his

Speaker 1 wrist will be a little sore.

Speaker 1 No. No, his wrist won't be sore.
His wrist will be fine. His wrist will be okay? Yeah.
I guess probably less. Yeah, less sore sore than normal.
Yeah, it's when you break up.

Speaker 1 That's when you're like, this guy. His like fingers might be sore.
I are fingers sore. Tongue's he might not be able to call out the plays.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Could be. Could have a problem.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Good hot seat, cool throwing, Hank.
Thanks. PFT, what are you doing? Great job, Hank.

Speaker 1 My hot seat today is going to be time.

Speaker 1 Putting time on the hot seat. Max had a tough time with time on Monday's part of my take.
And it might be a Philly thing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because John Cruck during the the Phillies broadcast last night, recurring guest of the show, we love John Cruck, he brought up an interesting point that broke a lot of people's brains.

Speaker 1 He asked the question, how did the person who invented the clock know what time it was?

Speaker 1 No fucking idea. No idea.
He just,

Speaker 1 that guy just said what time it was, and we just all go off that now. This shit is like thinking about

Speaker 1 space. The universe.
Hank looks confused.

Speaker 1 Is the answer not the sun? Yeah, but what does the sun tell you? Oh, it's overhead, so it's noon. Why did he decide 12?

Speaker 1 Because he realized it took 12 hours or 24 hours to come back up. Yeah, but how did he know

Speaker 1 in that moment? How did he know? Oh, it's 9:30 right now. Yeah, how did he know it was 24 hours when he didn't know time? Or how long an hour was.
Or how long an hour is.

Speaker 1 I get it. I know.
I get it.

Speaker 1 There you go. I'm done.
There you go. Yeah.
I'm checked out. Tap me out.
See? See how it happens? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Pretty crazy. Just a couple follow-ups.
My theory is that it was a guy that was in England, and they think it's

Speaker 1 revolves around them.

Speaker 1 And so the guy in England was like, I'm going to declare that now it's 9 a.m. And the rest of the world has to abide by my declaration, because I'm British, that it's 9 a.m.

Speaker 1 And now everyone has to follow that. Yeah, if they ever decide to...

Speaker 1 Fucker spills. My mountain do.
If they ever have to decide to do a Super Bowl here,

Speaker 1 everyone in America will have to watch it at noon. Yep.

Speaker 1 That's minor spill. That's the story of the clock.
Minor spill. That's the story of the clock.
He also said on the broadcast, if he ever becomes vegan, he wants to be punched directly in the face.

Speaker 1 Oh, did he? John Kruck is

Speaker 1 the best.

Speaker 1 He's the best.

Speaker 1 We need more John Crux and less Henry Lockwoods. Agreed.

Speaker 1 Make fathers.

Speaker 1 Raise your sons to become John Crux. Not a Henry Lockwood.
And then my cool throne was Auburn football. Congratulations to Auburn Football.
Great work, memes. Auburn football,

Speaker 1 they won

Speaker 1 four

Speaker 1 national championships today. Hold on, hold on.

Speaker 1 These are not, these are just moving it around. What is this?

Speaker 1 What are these?

Speaker 1 We just made it wetter

Speaker 1 a lot more of the area.

Speaker 1 You're doing moist outlet? Lynn's white. I had an awesome

Speaker 1 day at work.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. Auburn football.
They won four national titles today. Okay.
World record. They've won four before the season started.
So they updated their official national titles.

Speaker 1 They added a championship in 1910 when they probably played against like Alabama Community Catholic College. Hawaiians, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 1914 when the world was at war.

Speaker 1 1958, and then most notably, they added... 2004.
They're claiming a national championship for 2004. That, I believe, was the Jason Campbell,

Speaker 1 Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown, Auburn Tigers team. They finished the season undefeated, but they didn't get invited to the national championship game.

Speaker 1 So they just said, fuck it, we're national championship. I think they beat Virginia Tech that year, if I remember.

Speaker 1 So in 1914, Big T looked this up. In 1914, the Tigers finished second place in the Southern Athletic Association.
They didn't even finish in first place in their own conference.

Speaker 1 They're claiming that as a title. In 1958, Auburn finished second in the SEC.

Speaker 1 Undefeated LSU won the national championship, but Auburn is claiming it even though they went 9-0-1 and tied against George Attack.

Speaker 1 Okay. And LSU won all their games.

Speaker 1 But this is kind of the beauty of college sports: that

Speaker 1 you can just claim whatever you want if you haven't won anything in a while. That's the next best thing.
Remember when AM put up all those national championships on the side of their stadium?

Speaker 1 You can just say whatever you want. Yeah, you can just claim them.
UCF did that for a while.

Speaker 1 So yeah, congratulations to the Auburn Tigers. And also current Auburn Tigers are going to do something that I don't know if it's ever been done.

Speaker 1 So they have three different quarterbacks going into week one, which that's probably been done.

Speaker 1 Hugh Freese was asked about the possibility of playing all three against Baylor. He said yes

Speaker 1 to that question. I love that.
And then they also have three different play callers. So they have nine different combinations of play caller QB.

Speaker 1 This is how they get ahead of the Connor Stallions of the world. Yeah.
What is it? Three? What's the thing? Three times two? Two three. Yeah.
No, what do you think? So nine times three, 20. What's the

Speaker 1 exclamation point? The permutation? Three?

Speaker 1 I think they have 27 different possibilities of play callers. Yeah.
I might have screwed that. No, no, nine.
I thought it was three times three times three.

Speaker 1 Pendance?

Speaker 1 No, because that's three times three. There's only three play callers, three QBs.

Speaker 1 We're not a math podcast. No, we're not.
Yeah, you're right. We're not a math podcast.
You're right. You're right.
When you're right, you're just. But is it? Is it? What's the permutation?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think it's permutations. When you just.
what? Factorial.

Speaker 1 There you go, Shane. Shane.
Shane from way downtown. Shane.
Shane from the back of the bus.

Speaker 1 Where's

Speaker 1 Backdoor Jack? Yeah, where's Backdoor Jack? No, it's Jack from the back. Jack from the back.

Speaker 1 Where's Jack from the back? What's a great name? Where's Jack from the back?

Speaker 1 We know our Jack from the back. Is he in the back? He's in the back.
Is he coming from the back right now? All right.

Speaker 1 I thought his name should have been Wipe from the back because his name's Wiper. Yeah, would have been better.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. My hot seats is

Speaker 1 anyone who is on Tommy Pham's shit list because he's in it again. Tommy Pham bat flipped a walk the other night.
Okay. Tommy Pham is a badass.
He obviously fights everyone. Remember, what was it?

Speaker 1 I think it was last year he did a press conference. It was last year or the year before where I'll play it real quick.

Speaker 1 This was him talking about why he does all the fighting in the offseason. You know, so I'll never start anything, but I'll be prepared to finish it.

Speaker 1 There's a reason why, you know, I do all kinds of fighting in the offseason because I'm prepared to fuck somebody up. So you can take it as what it is.
Yeah, that's Tommy Pham.

Speaker 1 Tommy Pham also looking for it. Remember, Tommy Pham's been stabbed twice in his life.
I think it was one time was in 2020

Speaker 1 outside of a strip club. And the other time was actually by his

Speaker 1 stepfather. Oh, my God.
Because if you read Tommy Pham's Wikipedia, I believe it says that when his mom remarried when he was five, he never got along with his stepfather. They were always at odds.

Speaker 1 And then he ended up stabbing him when he was his stepfather stabbed Tommy Pham in a fight. Yikes.
That's a chill. Yeah, Tommy Pham is a badass, but he's mad again.
Okay. He's ready to go after it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I do not want any problems with Tommy Pham.
No smoke. No smoke.
My cool throne is Bowling Green football because they have an official mascot, Pudge the Cat. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Pudge the Cat also has a jersey. Bull and Green has Pudge the Cat in their locker room.
This is worth. I mean, these are vibes.
This is a vibes thing. It is a good...

Speaker 1 If you're going to

Speaker 1 think about live mascot cats, this has got to be right up there with Mike the Tiger. Yeah, he's Pudge the Cat just sleeps in a locker, and he's kind of a fat cat.
What kind of cat is that?

Speaker 1 He looks like

Speaker 1 it's not Siamese, but it kind of

Speaker 1 looks like that. Okay.
Yeah, whatever that is. That's great.
I'm not a big cat. Kind of looks like it's having an allergic reaction to something.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Hey, what's the I got a question because it's just on this Pudge the Cat video. What's the genesis of the Nothing Beats a Jet 2 holiday?

Speaker 1 It's just a TikTok sound. It's a little violent.
Oh, it's just a TikTok sound?

Speaker 4 Yeah, just a TikTok sound.

Speaker 1 It's from Levant. It's a commercial.

Speaker 4 It's a meme.

Speaker 1 It's a meme. People will show.

Speaker 4 Nothing they do. I think it started as a shitty vacation.
Someone would play that sound. Got it.
Something insane. Maybe if you see a a homeless person outside your hotel,

Speaker 4 nothing beats a Jet Ju holiday. Got it.

Speaker 1 I think I also on my cool throne is two-lane football because they had 10,880 meatballs during fall camp. Love that.
That's awesome. The fact that they

Speaker 1 tracked well, like the Uncrustables. Yeah.
Yeah. 10,880 meatballs.
Max, that should be your team.

Speaker 4 I know, I like that. I got tagged in that a million times.

Speaker 1 Hell yes. All right, Zach.

Speaker 1 My hot seat today, me, along with other Buccaneers fans, we've talked about this before on the show. So Desmond Watson is running out of time to lose the weight.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you guys saw the video from today where he's playing with

Speaker 1 the practice equipment. He's like kind of shadow boxing on the sideline.

Speaker 1 Final rosters, I think, for 53 man rosters are August 26th. He can join, I think it's...

Speaker 1 He can join a, what's the word? I'm missing the word. A practice quad.

Speaker 1 Reserve list for 21 days to try to get the weight off.

Speaker 1 It won't take a roster spot, but they don't have to pay him.

Speaker 1 Where was he drafted? What round? Uh drafted. I think it was undrafted.

Speaker 1 My question is

Speaker 1 why was he able to play at Florida, but not at Tampa? And also, what is the Bucs plan? Like, why wouldn't you, like, he's fat. Dude's fat.
He's not going to lose weight.

Speaker 1 Why wouldn't you at least see what he has? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think playing football is a good way to lose the weight. So I don't know why he's just playing with the equipment on the sideline.

Speaker 1 It was a tough tough video to see, and I just want to see if he can get the weight off because now I'm invested. I'm quite a while.
I'm a Florida guy. I am.
But he was playing at Florida, right?

Speaker 1 He was a consistent football player there. What about that? Did they see at the NFL level? And they're like, we're not even going to let him practice.

Speaker 1 Maybe it's like an insurance thing or like a liability. Like, if the doctors say we really can't clear you, then they can't let him play.
Yeah, it's weird.

Speaker 1 Okay. So, so I would have him in the hot seat.
Yeah. Hopefully, he can get it off.
Yeah. We're rooting for him.
Quick cool throne is,

Speaker 1 you guys familiar with the video game Fortnite? Everyone love it in Fortnite? Kaiser Senator got an icon skin, which is themselves in the game.

Speaker 1 And he was able to launch that icon skin on the sphere in Las Vegas. Whoa.
Wow. Which I thought was pretty awesome.
That is pretty cool. That's awesome.

Speaker 1 Hey, you guys want to feel old real quick?

Speaker 1 I just did.

Speaker 1 Well, I did that.

Speaker 1 The Cassianos home run was five years ago. Oh, no.
Isn't that crazy? That is wild. When I saw that, I was like, what? Five years ago today? It was five years ago yesterday.
Wow.

Speaker 4 Memes got to the airport this morning. He just looks at me and goes, Happy Tom Brennan Day for all who celebrate.

Speaker 1 Oh, so it's today.

Speaker 1 It's today. Yesterday, but today.

Speaker 1 Is it today? Today's wedding. Today, right now, as we're sitting here, yes, it's today.
Oh, well, happy holidays. Happy holidays.
Happy holidays. Yeah, we should have celebrated.

Speaker 1 We should have gotten you a cake that just said that word.

Speaker 1 No, just get him a cake shaped like a Stanley Cup.

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 1 of second place.

Speaker 4 So far,

Speaker 4 it's between us two. It's between you guys and us.

Speaker 1 I mean, you guys. You got to finish strong.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 i just remember like when my friend got n64 and it's just like lived at his house it was the best because if you're not if you weren't allowed to get video games as a kid, you always had to know someone who had them and they got to play them all the time.

Speaker 1 Yep. And they usually had like two or three consoles.
Question. Does this still happen, though? I feel like everybody just has every game now.

Speaker 1 No. I like to even have video games in my house, so I just would, I need any of my neighbors had video games.
Another

Speaker 1 lived there, which is I still think it happens if you're like moved by my parents because I was never home. That was just a question.
Yeah, no, like if you're like, not a bad call.

Speaker 1 My kids don't have video games yet, but I think some of their friends do.

Speaker 4 I also think a good iteration of what is like

Speaker 4 if your parents wouldn't let you play the super violent games and your friends would like that. That was big for me.
There were games that I wasn't allowed to play.

Speaker 1 How about when you go over to your friend's house, and since you're not there all the time, all you want to do is play their awesome video game, and they're sick of their video game.

Speaker 1 Or they give you the bad controller. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The bad joystick on N64 was the worst. I remember going over to a friend's house and be like, let's play GoldenEye.
And him being like, dude, I'm so sick of that game.

Speaker 1 I was like, how can you be sick of it? We never play it. He's like, Dude, I play it every day.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 yeah, like, I'm, I don't want to play this anymore. Like, but, dude, let me play.
Yeah, okay, that's why I'm here.

Speaker 1 You guys have two picks? Hank's got the ball. How does that sound?

Speaker 1 Um,

Speaker 1 we're just gonna

Speaker 1 what do they call it? Eye formation, run the ball. We're gonna go with a pool, okay.
Yep, I'm just hoping that was right. Pool house is great,

Speaker 1 and in that same vein, we're gonna go with a trampoline. Yep, okay,

Speaker 1 good pick, good picks, good picks, Good picks. Okay.

Speaker 1 I did have a trampoline growing up. And shout out.
We had.

Speaker 1 My dad built like a basketball hoop, but hung it on a tree. So it was like harder to dunk.

Speaker 1 So it was like we were, we were playing like intense, intense trampoline basketball games. That's why I often said I've never, I never made it to the NBA.

Speaker 1 What are we doing here, Zach? Spent all my money. What do you think about 17 or 19?

Speaker 1 I like 17. I think we maybe go

Speaker 1 three here?

Speaker 1 Three is good.

Speaker 1 Go three and then come back for the 17. Five.
Okay. Yeah, because it probably was.
There's a good chance. We could take four awesome snacks.
What about two, Zach?

Speaker 1 That was cool. Can't do it.
So, yeah, that's also

Speaker 1 seven.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 the friend's house who

Speaker 1 you can watch R-rated movies and TV shows.

Speaker 1 That was a good one. Awesome.
Also, usually the friend that had Cinemax. Yep.

Speaker 4 And also, normally was the friend that later in life, their parents let them drink.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
I would say that's responsible for First Boob for a lot of people.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. Absolutely.
Okay. Zach, we play a game on the show.
First boob. Recurring segment.
I don't remember the movie, but I know it was. Who's the actor from?

Speaker 1 We're talking cinema boob, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 1 National Treasure. So Nicholas Cage is in a movie, and he's celebrating

Speaker 1 St. Patrick's Day, and I don't know what the movie's called, but Force Come Leaving Las Vegas.
I don't think there's a second, but it was there was definitely Saving Prevent, no, there's Titanic, no

Speaker 1 Ghost Riders, Braveheart, no, Spider-Man, National Treasure, okay, birth of a nation, it's not a National Treasure movie.

Speaker 1 I know Nicholas Cage is in it, and he's looking at the rack,

Speaker 1 and the rack is looking at Christ. John Q.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to be able to know the the name of it. Okay.
Apocalypto. Apocalypse Now.
A score to settle. Godfather.
National Treasure. Godfather 2.
Bad Lieutenant. Godfather 3.

Speaker 1 I don't think I'll know the movie if we get it. Wizard of Oz.
No way. Okay.

Speaker 1 We're out of movies. All right.
You guys have two.

Speaker 4 Okay. We are going to go with a

Speaker 4 cool basement.

Speaker 4 Good one. Like, you had your

Speaker 1 basement. Yeah, yeah, we had that.
Finished basement.

Speaker 4 And a

Speaker 4 big backyard for Wiffleball. Okay.

Speaker 1 You know what's great about the basement? Because we had this too, I was hoping it would get back to us, but

Speaker 1 the parents not being able to hear you down in the basement. It was like you had your own apartment.

Speaker 4 Yeah. And it was completely separate from

Speaker 4 all adults.

Speaker 1 You stay up the latest in that basement. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Zach, should we pull the trigger on 17?

Speaker 1 Could also go five.

Speaker 1 Five is good. I like five.
I loved five as a kid.

Speaker 1 Very young in life, yes. Yeah.
Because I didn't. Yeah.
I'm down for five. Okay.

Speaker 1 The kid who had all the toy guns. Nerf guns.
I had that. I had that guns.

Speaker 1 Wasn't allowed guns in my house.

Speaker 4 I wasn't allowed guns in my house.

Speaker 1 But I had a friend who allowed all the guns, and it was fucking awesome. You over there? You just say you want to play guns? Yeah, just nerf.

Speaker 1 Cab guns, nerf guns, paintball guns, whatever the fuck you want. This has been a great.

Speaker 4 I think every single thing that's been said has been on my list, and I feel like it's

Speaker 4 everything has been on everybody's list.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 it's been good good good picking

Speaker 1 okay all right we are going to go we have two right yep we're gonna go tell them hank

Speaker 1 keep it simple again basketball hoop okay good good pick and we're gonna go wasn't on my list wasn't on mine either well yeah we can tell max you don't ball up

Speaker 4 i just think that most okay

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 1 a lot of our good ones have been taken, so we're going to go

Speaker 1 hot sister. Okay.
Hot sister is great. Hot sister is awesome, especially if she's like a year or two older because then she's got hot sister friends and then also maybe she can buy you cigarettes

Speaker 1 yes yeah like three years older okay three or four because then it was like yeah it's too close hot sister's a great pick yeah and you're never gonna sleep with a hot sister you're never gonna fool around but it's fun to think about yeah okay uh

Speaker 1 our last pick we're gonna go with the friend with divorced parents because there's just no rules and usually they get everything and you could go back and forth to either house.

Speaker 1 And when you get a little older, that is definitely the party house. We had divorced dad on the list, yeah, divorced parents because, like, the mom also got her hands full working.

Speaker 1 There's just no rules. The dad, like, sometimes just wants to hang out.
Yeah, there's just no rules of divorce.

Speaker 1 Like, everyone knows that the divorced parents' house was the house that you get to party at because one parent to keep control of everything is a lot.

Speaker 1 Two Christmases, yeah,

Speaker 1 yeah, usually has awesome toys, yeah, and like the best shit because they're both parents are trying to win the love. Yep.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Uh-oh. Me balls.

Speaker 4 So we can't say hot mom.

Speaker 1 You can. All right.

Speaker 4 That was going to be our pick is hot mom.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Hot sister, I think, is better, but hot mom. You think hot sister is good? Hot mom's good? Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 That's our.

Speaker 4 I mean,

Speaker 4 that was the first time that like my entire board was full, was taken.

Speaker 1 Yeah. No, it was good picks all around.
We had

Speaker 1 some honorable mentions

Speaker 1 go-karts kind of tough power wheels yeah power wheels uh-huh dirt bikes nice couches like the reclining couches bunk beds bunk beds were cool i had uh a very niche one yeah but when their parents smoke so that you can blame that if your parents say that you smell like smoke when you come back but actually you're just smoking yep uh

Speaker 1 ping pong table for beer pong

Speaker 1 yeah but but both like as a kid and then when you get older it's like

Speaker 1 the ping-pong table is great because you know the basement has room for beer pong.

Speaker 1 One that's easy to sneak out of. Yeah, oh, yeah, that's that's a big one.
A little later in life, but uh, did you guys have any friends whose dad had a kegerator in the in the garage?

Speaker 1 Yep, because that's just

Speaker 1 you can't keep track of how much beers in there. No, so it was just free beer, it's awesome, or just like the dad with

Speaker 1 the dad who had a shitload of like alcohol on deck where it's like you can take stuff from this house because they're not going to be able to see it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Tree house. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I never really fucked up. I never saw a tree.
I never really went into the big TV thing. Yeah.
I never really. But I would love one.

Speaker 4 Like when I was watching the sand lot, I was like, holy shit, a tree house would be so fucking good.

Speaker 1 My aunt built like a self-contained bedroom in a tree that was like insulated, had air conditioning, electricity. That was always awesome.

Speaker 1 Hot tub.

Speaker 1 Hot tub's good.

Speaker 1 Really, the house that you could just do whatever you wanted.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that was, yeah.

Speaker 1 Just absent parents.

Speaker 1 Maybe like a theater room situation. Theater room.
Or chill parents, but not too chill.

Speaker 1 No, because you don't want them so chill that they're like also getting fucked up with you. That's weird.
No, not with you, but like. Yeah, yeah, but like that's weird.
Like they do the like the like

Speaker 1 pretend to be oblivious. Right, right.
What's up, guys? Oh, like coming in. But I think there is a too chill parent that like wants that.
Going to the basement? All right,

Speaker 1 teenage kids, and that's weird. Yeah, that's weird.
Yeah, really weird. Um,

Speaker 1 all right, that was a good Mount Rushmore. Great rushmore, good Mount Rushmore.
Fantastic one, like our list. Uh, everyone's got a strong list.

Speaker 1 Uh, okay, let's get to our interview. We got Adam Friedland, man.

Speaker 6 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 6 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 6 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 6 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 1 And now here's Adam Friedland.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest, friend of ours, first time on the show. It is Adam Friedland from the Adam Friedland Show.
It's a dream, boys. Yeah, you're here.

Speaker 1 You've done the car wash.

Speaker 1 I just went through the whole junket today. Yeah, so how, I mean, how's it going? The Adam Friedland show is awesome.
Thank you, guys. Thank you.
Yeah, it's good. It's going well.

Speaker 1 It's taking some weird twists and turns, it feels like, but it feels like you've landed at a. I don't know how it's

Speaker 1 sort of as a joke. Right.

Speaker 1 Right. You guys were doing it as like almost a satire of regular stand-up.

Speaker 1 To make that like the least popular guy from a podcast for ugly men into an intellectual style

Speaker 1 public intellectual in the vein of Dick Cavot. I think that was like, but then, yeah, eventually, uh, credit to Nick.

Speaker 1 I mean, Nick, Nick was the one who uh who pushed the idea because after Stav left, I was like, Nikki, we have a brand. Let's just keep doing Come Town.

Speaker 1 He's like, No, you got to listen to me on this one. Yeah, he was like,

Speaker 1 I guess so. I mean, like, uh, history kind of bends to that, to Nick Mullins' will.
Yeah, Yeah. But, uh, yeah, credit to him.
It's, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I'm the kind of the, I don't, I couldn't really say how it happened. I do think it was the first time I tried at something.
Yeah. Yeah.
I was a very lazy guy for a long time.

Speaker 1 I was like, you know, I was the third Mike on a come podcast. But that was also the beauty of Come Town is you guys, you guys basically always made it.

Speaker 1 I mean, even doing like alarms to be like, all right, we've gone an hour. We're done now.

Speaker 1 And I've, you know, talking to Stav, like, you had a podcast that made so much money, and it still was tough to be like, Hey, can we record this?

Speaker 1 No, no, no, we would argue about what we're having for lunch, we didn't think it was good, we would be like, That sucked. This sucks.
I didn't, but I literally didn't know it was funny.

Speaker 1 That was some of the funniest parts, though. Like, when you guys are like, This podcast sucked, yeah, we're like, You were very

Speaker 1 sucks. Wait, was there a moment, though, when you realized, like, oh, this is funny?

Speaker 1 Like, recently, in the last couple of years, I've heard on like my YouTube algorithm, I get like a compilations, and I'm like, That was that was amazing. Yeah, I was like, that was incredible.

Speaker 1 I mean, like, they were like, Nick was on, he was a genius, he was the funniest guy of all time. Yeah, no, I mean, it was like, it was so funny.
I, I literally, it made us miserable.

Speaker 1 I, that, we had no idea. That's a great feeling, though, because I have the reverse where I see like a tweet from like six months ago.
I'm like, that was the dumbest thing ever.

Speaker 1 So you have the opposite of that, where you're like, holy shit, that was incredible what we did. Well, yeah, I mean, it's, I think it's like, uh, also like when you're doing something that's like

Speaker 1 like irony is like you,

Speaker 1 it's like you kind of protect your feelings a little bit, where it's like, if it sucks, it's like, well, fucking, we weren't trying, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, like, fuck you, yeah, it's your fault for listening, you fucking losers.

Speaker 1 And then, but like, now that like the new show is like so work intensive, and I'm doing it like seven days a week, it's kind of the first time I've ever tried in my life

Speaker 1 at 35. It's like if you're trying as hard as you can, and then someone says, you suck, it really hurts your feelings.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Like, I know, like, it's like a little bit like if you're like, you made it to the NBA.

Speaker 1 If you're like on the end of a bench in the NBA and like, you know, the phenomenon of sports fans, like, we're fat, we're fucking losers.

Speaker 1 We're watching and we're like, that guy's a, that guy's a fucking loser. Like, and he's like fucking top-level athlete.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it must be so annoying for them.

Speaker 1 But like, yeah, now if you try and you're really making yourself putting yourself out there, it's scary. But it seems like it's been going well.
It seems like it's going good.

Speaker 1 I feel like I talked to a lot of people who were fans of the Come Town podcast that are now massive fans of your show, but with Thumbtown, there's a huge audience out there for it.

Speaker 1 Who's like the most surprising guy that you found out was a comeboy?

Speaker 1 I don't know. You find out sometimes.

Speaker 1 I mean, I think like,

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 I think Reese, who's like, there are famous people, I guess, that liked it. It's always a surprise.

Speaker 1 But yeah, it's cool when you find out that people were listening to it. I don't know.
I'm trying to think of who, or if it's lame to say people's names. I think probably Bill Clinton

Speaker 1 and Hillary Clinton. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He didn't think you were doing irony, though. No.
Yeah, he took it literally. He took it very seriously.
Yeah, yeah. The new show is awesome.
I love it.

Speaker 1 I've watched, I think, almost every episode of it.

Speaker 1 When it came out, I feel like Nick was, he filled a very valuable role that maybe didn't always translate on camera all the time, which was like, he was letting you know that you can do it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He was gassing you up. Yeah.
Like, keep going with this. This is funny.
Because you, there would be times in interviews you like want to pull the plug on whatever angle you were taking.

Speaker 1 He was like, no, keep going. This is good.
And it ended up being great. Yeah, I did.
Well, I think, I think, I didn't know how to do interviews, right?

Speaker 1 Like, and the only reference from doing stand-up you have to like interacting

Speaker 1 is like, I guess crowd work where you're like what do you fuck what you f what do you do for a living and they're like I'm a fucking you know like a speech pathologist for kids with you know disabilities and you're like you're fucking pedophile

Speaker 1 laughs see it works right out it's it's funny it's funny yeah but it's like naturally like mean so like um so when I started the interviews like I think Nick actually gave me the best advice which was like obviously couched in like I thought it was an insult right but he's like why you take this fucking affect when you're doing the interviews I was like, oh, go ahead, criticize me again.

Speaker 1 He's like, no, you're like a nice guy, and you make people feel good to be around.

Speaker 1 That's why I encouraged you to do this. And he's like,

Speaker 1 I wouldn't, I don't have that quality. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And so I had to figure out what about me is like it is, could translate over to this. And I kind of like, I googled journalism, literally.

Speaker 1 I read the Wikipedia page for journalism. And then I fucking,

Speaker 1 and then I, what?

Speaker 1 I, then I tried why I was like who's good at interviews and so then I watched uh I was like maybe Joe Rogan I watched and then what he does is like um the guest always feels like they're crushing so he'll he'll have Bernie on one week and then he'll have like a guy that says the Holocaust didn't happen the next week but both times he's like that's fucking trippy you're like yeah but like when naturally if you feel like you're convincing the host you're gonna get more and more and more

Speaker 1 he's like he's very agreeable right and so for me it's like I can't do my fucking like sarcastic dumb, Jewish, like, oh, yeah, like, I can't do it. Like, so, and then I was like, who else is good?

Speaker 1 And then I watched, I've actually watched a lot of Stern.

Speaker 1 I think that that's, yeah, that's, I grew up listening to a lot of Stern, and kind of what he did, the first, like, 90 seconds to two minutes, like, he would, he was like, he would become your best friend.

Speaker 1 Right. He was like, you're a huge star.
Everyone wants a piece of you. You're incredible.
And, like, he'd flatter and he'd like, and then he'd be able to get anything you wanted.

Speaker 1 And again, first time he fingered a check. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, did you do her? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I've been going back through and watching a bunch. And he always talks about doing girls.
Yeah, I would do her. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I just watched the

Speaker 1 Miss Butterface comment. Oh, yeah.
It's been going viral.

Speaker 1 It was going viral on Twitter. And I was like, I forgot about that one.
And I watched the full one. I was like, it's so mean.
So mean.

Speaker 1 When Gary insults a woman, there's something that's so repulsive about it. When Baba Booey thinks that he can tell, yeah, I wish your body was a little bit tighter, sweet.

Speaker 1 It's like, Gary, you look disgusting. You're one of the ugliest men I've ever seen in my entire life.
Just, yeah,

Speaker 1 we used to have a great country. Yeah, folks.
We lived in a great country, folks, before these vaccines and these goddamn cancel, whatever.

Speaker 1 No, no, but I realized that kind of like the way I had to find a way to ingratiate is just to like kind of self-deprecate, I think. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Which is like that comes naturally to me, and I've been doing that my whole life. So I'm like, you know, if I have a guest and I'm like, listen,

Speaker 1 I crap my pants on a podcast called Come Town. Like, you don't have to, you can kind of drop your car a little bit.
And then, like, make kind of, kind of then have a more interesting conversation.

Speaker 1 I also think the set that you created is like a big piece of it that's very underrated. It's like a public affairs.
Right. It was intentional.

Speaker 1 It's almost like Kramer when he bought was the Merv Griffith. Merv Griffith.
Yeah, yeah. Like,

Speaker 1 it looks ridiculous in what, I don't know what the whole room looks like, but I assume it's just a regular small room in New York City. No, it's pretty big.

Speaker 1 I mean, it was like an office space, and like, uh, yeah. But when you sit on it, there's got to be a little bit of like it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 Almost like we're doing like a make-believe that would get someone a little bit more comfortable. Like, this can't be that serious.
I remember that we were doing, like, we would do the podcast too.

Speaker 1 Like, when Nick and I were like doing it together, Nick, Nick's working on other stuff right now. And so, um, so Nick and I would still do the podcast to like kind of pay for it.

Speaker 1 And I guess the new, now that, like, the new chapter, the Adam Freelanche, was like, we were sick of fucking podcasts. It was like nine years of this shit.

Speaker 1 And I've like demeaned and humiliated myself for years.

Speaker 1 I was like, I want to try something and I want it to be like a little bit more sincere and high effort and like kind of like challenge myself to do something good.

Speaker 1 And so, but like, so then I was like, I got to make the...

Speaker 1 monetize kind of the talk show but nick and i would still do the the podcast there and i think like there's a i think it's there's a clip of it somewhere online the two of us were like a girl walked in like a woman like who needed a bathroom key and walked in on us, like sitting on

Speaker 1 this set, yeah. And like, there were no camera operators, we were alone in a room.
She's like, What is this? Like a like a talk show? And we're like, It's like a talk show, yeah.

Speaker 1 We just looked at two mentally ill people.

Speaker 1 She's like, Yeah, the mics weren't even plugged in, or something. Like, yeah, we're like, Yeah, there were just two men sitting

Speaker 1 on this on in a, in a facsimile of the Dick Cabot show set from the 1970s. Yeah, just

Speaker 1 playing make-believe, like, in this room. But yeah, I mean, it's it's cool.
I mean, like, it's become a real thing.

Speaker 1 And, like, we're booking, you know, it's easier to, I think you guys probably understand this too. I mean, you guys have a huge show.

Speaker 1 So maybe you guys didn't experience this as much, but like, for my purposes, like, Trump doing, I think during the last election doing like Rogan and Theo and stuff like that, it kind of legitimized a platform.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So like booking people to do the internet three years ago was like a sell.

Speaker 1 And I think now it's like,

Speaker 1 there's like a, it makes sense to people's like publicists and like it's very normalized.

Speaker 1 And it's also, there's going to be the clips and everything that comes out of your show is going to be seen by more people than like Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah.
So

Speaker 1 when do you well, I actually have a question about Nick. So he left.
He's working on other stuff. Were you worried when he left? Because that was kind of

Speaker 1 it always felt like Come Town happened. Come Town was incredible.

Speaker 1 Then you guys went right into the Adam Friedland show. So it's like, oh, this is kind of still Come Town.
It's like, the basis died. But we're still watching.
And they're doing this weird thing.

Speaker 1 They publicly claim they're going to make a television show and they have no idea how to make a television show. So I think it was pretty interesting kind of in that area.

Speaker 1 Yeah, a band going basically like, oh, this is their disco era. But we didn't know.
Yeah. Like, we literally, we were like, how does a camera? What's a camera? Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But now that Nick looks like what wires do you need? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Did you feel a little when he said that he was going to leave? You're like, oh shit, now this is kind of the end of a chapter and I'm losing him. I think it was like, you know, we're adults.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You know, like, he's like,

Speaker 1 you know, like, this is, I found this thing, the talk show, and like, he was getting sick of doing podcasting. Both of us were getting sick of doing the podcast.
We were both like, fuck this.

Speaker 1 And it was like, the nice thing is that, like, you know,

Speaker 1 now

Speaker 1 I mean, we've like, we're, we, you know, we're chill, we were very young men starting

Speaker 1 starting the podcast. We didn't, we, we didn't know you could make money from a podcast.
And then now we're like middle-aged men.

Speaker 1 And I kind kind of was like, for the first time, I was like, yeah, I want to like, you know, I want to, I want to put it all on my shoulders. And if I fuck up, that's awesome.
It's on me.

Speaker 1 If I did good, it's on me. I mean, it's a good feeling.
Yeah. Have there been like TV networks that have reached out to you to say, why don't you come off the internet? Why don't you come to us?

Speaker 1 Uh-huh. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Who?

Speaker 1 I mean, the nation states. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
I was going to say, when are you going to become an industry plan? I know they're going to try to get you to do that.

Speaker 1 Israel's been like hitting me up non-stop, but I don't know. It's a little dicey these days.
Yeah. That's Saudi money.
Well, and also, you don't want to get the Nelk Boys sloppy seconds.

Speaker 1 I want to get, yeah, well, I want to, I want to get Saudi money. Yeah, I want to get the

Speaker 1 live golf kind of deal going.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I want to do a podcast from Fight Island for like three guys

Speaker 1 where you get like three shakes. That's bullshit because it's not an island.
You know, it's not an island, right? It wasn't an island? No.

Speaker 1 They lie. They lied about it.
They lied. It's a beach.
It's a fight beach. Yeah, Fight Beach.
Oh, fuck off. It was funny.
Did you guys watch the this weekend? We did we were at, yeah, you watched my

Speaker 1 countryman

Speaker 1 with DDP. Oh, yeah, yeah, Africa.
We got Africa manhandled, just an ass kick. It was just like a he just got

Speaker 1 like wrestled. It was just hugging, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was like dragged around, get his asshole knee. It did seem like at the end, like maybe the most miraculous.
It did seem like maybe, but

Speaker 1 I was like, I kept saying to my boy, I was like, maybe, like, this guy, but he's like, you know, this guy has

Speaker 1 the mental fortitude of the people that did the apartheid. I mean, this guy's, this guy's gonna, this guy's like, he doesn't have quit, you know? Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, but uh, yeah, he came in, he was a great guy. We we interviewed him last year.
He seems like a great guy. He's doing it for Africa, dude.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's doing it for, he's the, he's the king, the African king. Wait, what is he? He's like, I'm the real African.

Speaker 1 He said that. Hell yes.
Yeah, I'm the real African. I just went back.
My parents are from Cape Town. I was born in LA, but I just went back in March to

Speaker 1 for

Speaker 1 my grandma's 94th. Oh, shit.
Yeah, yeah. But yeah, we were back there for like

Speaker 1 two weeks. So we go back every couple of years.
Beautiful city. Have you ever seen the sharks?

Speaker 1 I didn't see the shark. Right before I went last time, I was saying before, my friend, he's like, yo, my cousin got just be eaten.

Speaker 1 I was like,

Speaker 1 he's like, yeah, my cousin's dead because he got eaten by a shark. Oh, shit.
That's not something you casually tell someone. Yeah, like right the day, I was like, I got to go to South Africa tomorrow.

Speaker 1 He's like, yeah, my cousin got eaten there. I was like, I feel like I should have known that.
They're my boy. I was like,

Speaker 1 My cousin got eaten. Yeah,

Speaker 1 Luke, like, you know, why are you like keeping that from me? Those are crazy odds. Like, nobody gets eaten by a shark.
I guess Lucas's cousin did. Damn.
Wow.

Speaker 1 Shout out to his cousin. R.I.P.

Speaker 1 R.I.P. R.I.P.

Speaker 1 He was a good one. Yeah, fuck off to the sharks.
Buck off to the sharks. Do you, do you, so you said that

Speaker 1 people have reached out, like, actual networks? Because there is. I don't know, no.
We, we, like, I don't know, because I was waiting for the DNC money.

Speaker 1 I really thought I was going to get that goddamn call. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Listen, they're like,

Speaker 1 what, like 10 million or something? Listen,

Speaker 1 these people will pay anyone money.

Speaker 1 Listen, I will, listen, I stand for nothing. I'm, I'm, I've, it's the highest bidder.

Speaker 5 A dollar.

Speaker 1 I love it. It's the highest bidder.
Capitalism. I will, I will do it for anyone.
But no, the DNC never called me. Um, I, I, I don't, I, I guess no one, no one wants me.

Speaker 1 I think at this point, it's like

Speaker 1 the concept was always to make something real and then sell it. But I don't know if in this day and age, like, I have the ability.
I'm like, I have, like, I'm not going to sell my

Speaker 1 show and they own it now. And then I get canceled.
Right. And you're also, then it's not real.
Because then you have someone telling you what you have to do.

Speaker 1 You have like standards and practices and lawyers. And then, like, I have to, you know, I can make anything I want, really.
And I get to adhere to whatever rights are. Don't give up that freedom.

Speaker 1 And it's, but I think also, just if anything like i think if you like see like the them boys down in austin it's like you kind of also make more money maybe i think yeah you can but i don't think they put money in tv anymore but no joe still owns his stuff right yeah like he just has to put it on spotify yeah do you have you realized that you are doing a podcast no it's not a podcast it's a talk show okay i'm wearing suits you say how much you hated doing a podcast well it is highly produced i will it is yeah yeah i mean like we I am trying to make something cohesive that is a little bit different.

Speaker 1 Because the concept of like making another fucking podcast

Speaker 1 is just like, what are you going to be fucking? It's another one. Like, you have to do something a little bit like a little bit different.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you get nervous for every guest?

Speaker 1 Yeah. I don't, I don't know.
I've kind of like realized that I'm like,

Speaker 1 I don't know. I have like very, like,

Speaker 1 maybe it's a delusional, but like, I've realized when you meet people, they're not that scary. Yeah.
Yeah. Jadicus, I was nervous about because it's like I'm like a white guy, like a white boy my age.

Speaker 1 I was like, I've been talking like him my whole life, just like behind closed doors

Speaker 1 in a Jewish summer camp scenario. We're like, yeah, we're putting on fitteds and stuff.

Speaker 1 I felt a little bit like, and I had to tell him.

Speaker 1 Off top, I was like, listen, I'm nervous right now because I used to, I used to wear Mitchell and Ness

Speaker 1 in a Jewish context

Speaker 1 and pretend. And he's like, that's love.

Speaker 1 That's real hip-hop.

Speaker 1 I don't think it is, but thank you. I remember before Dave went on your show, we talked for.
I think Dave thought it was come town. Yeah, I think he might have thought it.

Speaker 1 I think Dave was one of the most confused of our guys.

Speaker 1 I think afterwards he said it, I was like, how to go? He's like, weird. He's like that guy.
I think he was like, yeah, this was...

Speaker 1 This was one of the, that was weird. Yeah.
And I was like, thanks for doing it, dude. Really excited.

Speaker 1 I think he didn't know what to make of me. We talked for, I think, you talked to me for like two hours.
I love researching

Speaker 1 Dave

Speaker 1 and knowing what to expect. And yeah, I think the amount that I told you was like, you would say, like, put these ideas at me, and I'd be like, yeah, do that.
He's going to be fine.

Speaker 1 Just say whatever you want to him. Well, yeah, you want to know, you want to make someone uncomfortable.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know if I did with Dave, but like, I think, I think with Dave, like, I think historically, maybe

Speaker 1 like, like, when he looks at me, he's like, historically,

Speaker 1 that's all, like, that's a gay

Speaker 1 and then i like knew i knew ball right yeah and he's like and i think if the gay if if if gay if a gay knows ball it's like am i gay am i

Speaker 1 i think i just like i broke his brain yeah i think he was expecting not that and then i was like you know like

Speaker 1 i asked him if he he's red porn all his complaints everyone fucking asked me that yeah

Speaker 1 yeah no that was that was i love doing it you credit to rhone and you guys like uh encouraging this because I think that you know you're you know you're you're a head of state if anything you're president you can say whatever you want to Dave yeah yeah your president you know like you put him in a situation where he's

Speaker 1 incredibly confused as to how he how he got there yeah yeah like this is yeah he like calls the crisis team right after he's like what did you just have me do yeah back to my bunker yeah yeah

Speaker 1 dave's eliminated then frank the tank has to step up yeah yeah

Speaker 1 is he vice president yeah just you should you should interview frank the Tank. Yeah, yeah, or at least Frank Walks.
Yeah, Frank would be great.

Speaker 1 He's still in New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's loyal, not like you, boys. Yeah, sold out.
What guest actually got mad at you? Who's got actually mad at me? I'm assuming it happens.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, Anthony Wiener. Yeah.
Yeah. That was good, though.
It was good.

Speaker 1 I didn't. See, like, I.
So, why did he get mad at you? I think that he just knows how to argue. I think that he was just like,

Speaker 1 I think,

Speaker 1 which is like the language of me arguing with another Jewish guy,

Speaker 1 it's like I've been doing it my whole life with other Jewish people. Like, it's like just like me and my dad have yelled at each other in that way, and it just became that very early on.

Speaker 1 I set up like some, you know, I try to set up small talk, right? Right. I guess comfortable, like, ha ha ha, you know, like, and I was like, you know, I was like, oh, he's a Met fan.

Speaker 1 I was like, oh, yeah, like, you seem more like a Yankee fan, you know? And he's like, what's that supposed to mean?

Speaker 1 What the fuck, what's that supposed to mean? And I was was like, you know, because you're like, macho, the Met fans are like, you know, like, I'm sorry. And like, oh, I'm getting with this.

Speaker 1 Like, you know, like, Met fans are redheads and they allergies and like go to therapists and stuff. Yankees fans, two families.
Yeah. You know, like, yeah,

Speaker 1 cheat on taxes.

Speaker 1 Insider trading.

Speaker 1 Insider trading, secret wife, yeah, that lives three blocks away in the South Bronx. You know,

Speaker 1 that's a Yankee fan, like a guy that's like got

Speaker 1 machismo. And he's like, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
He's like, the Mets are New York's team. He's like, any real New Yorker, he's like, no real New Yorker are Yankees fans.

Speaker 1 And I was like, what are you talking about? Yeah, that cannot be possible. He's like, you guys buy your fucking rings.
And I was like, this was the small talk section.

Speaker 1 This was the small talk section. Sorry, we were supposed to giggle at each other.
I was like, he was supposed to be like, ha ha, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I think you hit it off with Fredo, though. Oh, Freda loves him.
Lomo. Yeah, Lomo.

Speaker 1 I was like, I don't know which way this is going to go.

Speaker 1 Typically, if I expect someone, I'm going to vibe with someone, they don't like me. And if I'm going to expect that I'm not going to vibe, they do end up liking me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, does he like you still, though? Yeah, I did his News Nation show.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Yeah, he makes, I don't know, he makes fun of me.
When I did his News Nation show, he was very

Speaker 1 laudatory, but it was a little bit embarrassing. It was like, this is the future of the world of the voice of a generation.
I was like, shut up, dude. Yeah, you had embarrassing me.

Speaker 1 Your New Yorker profile kind of had, they were like.

Speaker 1 Last week, we got, there was that, that came out. Yeah, they were like, oh, is he the next Jon Stewart? Is he the key to like Rogan on the right? Is Adam Friedland on the left?

Speaker 1 They're fucking desperate. And you just are like, I don't fucking know.
They're fucking desperate. It's crazy.
They have nothing.

Speaker 1 If it's me from Come Town, they don't have a shit, dude.

Speaker 1 Like, just like fascism is.

Speaker 1 They fucking. Is it me versus what, Donald Trump? Yeah.
What the fuck am I going to do about it?

Speaker 1 I just want to make the show funny. I don't want to be like the left.
I have my own opinions on shit, but I'm not. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Have they, has anyone approached you about that? Because it is the desperation. You can smell it on them where it's like, who's the answer? Who's the?

Speaker 1 I've got a couple members of Congress now, member, like, like, well, I had Rochano as a senator, and then I did two interviews with members of Congress last week. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But it's just like, if they fucking think that they lost because

Speaker 1 they didn't have a a good enough podcast,

Speaker 1 they're fucking idiots. Because they've done it to Sony, too.
Maybe they lost because they offered nothing. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Maybe they lost because they're like, um, they're like, yeah, you can't have health care, but like, we painted a rainbow crosswalk. Yeah.
Listen, Adam, if you, if we want to pay for

Speaker 1 it. We're going to pitch tax credits for healthcare.
Adam is our guy. Yeah.
Yeah. It's always their shit is always like so it was like a Nathan for you.

Speaker 1 Like Democrat plans are always like, if you like, you know, like we have a voucher that you need like validated, it like you, and you have to get like

Speaker 1 you have to hike to the top of a mountain and you have to be a Latina that's between 20 and 23.

Speaker 1 And then like, you have like if you're born in the first six months of the year, and then you get $200 towards like your first house. Yeah.
And it's like, oh, like, what? How is that?

Speaker 1 Like, they're like, they're like, this is like, yeah, we're all,

Speaker 1 no one understands what that means. Yeah.
Yeah. Donald Trump's like, if you, um, if you like, uh, say, I'm sorry, you're gay.

Speaker 1 It makes way more sense. Like, that makes total sense.

Speaker 1 Is it uncomfortable, though? Because it's happened to Stavi, too, where, like, the left, this weird thing has happened where it's like, we need to find someone, and you guys, you're not.

Speaker 1 And it's me, you're Stavi. Your names come up.
Yeah, I see it. And they're like,

Speaker 1 and I, it's funny because I obviously know both of you and being fans of both of you, it's like, these guys are just fucking around. And they also, again, they have their own opinions.

Speaker 1 They don't fit into a box. That's why people like them.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm not, I don't, i have i'll share my opinions but the other thing is this is like comedians have been like hoisted to this level that they shouldn't be at like i i i hear people online say shit that they are not qualified to say and it's like you talk about your dick on stage like you're not qualified to talk about like the transmission rates of covid and like the like fucking nih health fraud and like shut up that was about the best there are guys that try to like literally like like fuck a waitress at a comedy club bill burr on rogan i was like during COVID, and they were both smoking cigars.

Speaker 1 Bill Burr was like, dude, we're not doing this. We're not, we don't know anything.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they feel fully comfortable. So, I mean, I don't, I try to avoid that.
If there's something that I believe, like, I have an opinion on, I'll share that. But I'm not like,

Speaker 1 it's not going to be me, folks. I don't know.
I mean, like, I just want the show to be good and

Speaker 1 where's the check? The check.

Speaker 1 Where's the fucking check? All right, you stop me when, when, when, when the, when the money's enough for you to become an industry plant for the Democrats, all right? $5 million.

Speaker 1 What does that mean? $10 million. Just one time.

Speaker 1 $20 million. One check.
One check, $20 million. You know how much they waste on money? $25 million.
They wasted $2 billion

Speaker 1 in that last election. $100 million.
Yeah, of course. I've got to go to the bottom.
Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 What is that? That's my line. We're doing the game.
We get a 10% cut. We're doing the game.

Speaker 1 We negotiated that for you. We're doing the game.
Would you suck a dick?

Speaker 1 Yeah. I would suck a dick for $500,000.
You've come down. It's a lot of money.
No, no. It used used to be a million.
Yeah. It used to be a million.
You used to have standards.

Speaker 1 That was the funniest game of all time, like middle school gaming. Who's that with that you did on Steiny? Steiny, that's right.
And Steiny was. No way, bro.

Speaker 1 He was like, no way, but I would do it for 100 mil, but I'd have to be really drunk. Yeah.
He's like, wait, so that you would like it more? You get molested?

Speaker 1 You would kind of want to do it for

Speaker 1 you. That notion of

Speaker 1 that I'd be ruined the rest of my life. Yeah.

Speaker 1 If I got $100 million from sucking a dick, a scenario, which is a very real scenario,

Speaker 1 the notion that there's like a daddy Warbucks that has $100 million for one suck,

Speaker 1 it's such a funny, absurd concept. Yeah.
Yeah, I would suck a dick for a million dollars. Who cares? Yeah.

Speaker 1 But for the rest of your life, people will be like, that's the guy that's rich because he sucked a dick. Yeah.
And you'd be like, yeah, correct. Didn't you do Mary Fuck Kill with him, too?

Speaker 1 And steroids was on it. And he was like, or was that another someone else did it? And

Speaker 1 they were struggling. They were like, we got to keep steroids.
Like, we got to get rid of those.

Speaker 1 Well, those guys, like, yeah, it's so funny in retrospect what happened to them. Now, everyone's mad at them because they had no boys.
Yeah. They had me be on their show.

Speaker 1 The funniest was after it was over, when they were looking at the comment section, be like, That's like having the modern-day Hitler on your show. All right, that's a valid point.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, we gotta really. Like, if we knew what we know now, we probably wouldn't have done it.
But the funniest part is like they were like, We've been talking to experts all day. We talked to

Speaker 1 Nick Fuentes, Myron from Fresh and Fit, and then some other guy. And I was like, you talked to three Holocaust deniers and then me? I was like, what do you mean they're experts on Israel? It's like,

Speaker 1 it's such a funny idea that concept of microcosm of the world today is like in the middle of Gaza. BB's like, we got to do full sand.

Speaker 1 We got to do a dad. We got to drink a happy dad.
We got to crack a happy dad with Steve. We'll do it.
Yeah, yeah. We got to do a chug.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was absolutely insane.

Speaker 1 Then afterwards, all the fallout after it, when they were like, we should, okay, in retrospect, we probably should have done some more research to find out who we're going to.

Speaker 1 They're not going to change anything. Well, the thing about them is like, they literally, that's the interesting thing.

Speaker 1 And that's what, like, when I interviewed him, like, I talked to him about it, but, like, is that, like, in the

Speaker 1 world today, it was like, you know, I was like, why do you think like the most powerful man in the world, like, Donald Trump, the president, have, has done your show four times?

Speaker 1 And why do you think like the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, has done your show?

Speaker 1 And I think like they have like no concept, they just think they're they're really good, they're like, They're like, Cause it's

Speaker 1 fire, dude, we crack happy dads, do prank content, lifestyle content, yeah, yeah, we party content, yeah. We said we'd have it, we'd have anybody, but it's just like that's what the world is today.

Speaker 1 Like, you used to have to go on like

Speaker 1 you, that's that's meet the press nowadays, it's just fucking chug, chug guys,

Speaker 1 and then yeah, and then like uh, now in the middle of yeah, like uh, like uh, probably like the most controversial, like, uh, human rights, like, like, disaster in the world.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like, the prime minister of Israel is like, we gotta go, we gotta fucking do

Speaker 1 how much we gotta do Nelk. How much do you think they told him beforehand, Bibi? How much did they tell him? Like, how did they prep him? I think Israel thought it was a good idea.

Speaker 1 I think it's more like that morning when we honestly, it's got to be more embarrassing for Israel than it is for Nelk. If we're like, if we're talking about, like, seriously, right now,

Speaker 1 yeah, they thought this was gonna work. They thought this was good PR.
Yeah, to see Jews bad at PR like this, that is really the offensive part to me. Like,

Speaker 1 this is a thing we invented. We're good at lying and being sneaky.
We used to be sneaky.

Speaker 1 Our thing used to be hiding.

Speaker 1 We used to be like one of my favorite Jews ever, Anna Frank.

Speaker 1 She was one of the best hiders in history.

Speaker 1 What happened to hiding?

Speaker 1 Now we're going to the army?

Speaker 1 If I told my mother I was going to Afghanistan after I graduated high school, she would have killed herself.

Speaker 1 We're not supposed to go to the army. Yeah,

Speaker 1 it's not, we're not made for it.

Speaker 1 Who's your dream guest? 1-1.

Speaker 1 I don't know, dude. Fucking Obama, Trump.

Speaker 1 I mean, I would love. I was saying earlier today, and also I was like dead tired the first part of the day, dude.
Dude, I've done like, I feel like. I told you I was going to, you text me.

Speaker 1 You're like, hey, I want to do it. And I was

Speaker 1 car washed. No, you guys are increasing.
You guys are, you guys are fucking... This is a lot of work to me.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 We had

Speaker 1 four shows today. Yeah, that's.

Speaker 1 I'm impressed. I'm floored.
I'm impressed by the. One of the shows is also.

Speaker 1 I'm standing on the shoulders of giants right now. One of the shows is also just you eating lunch.
Yeah, well, Adam did a lunch podcast.

Speaker 1 Not only lunch, but he said, I said, Adam, what do you want for lunch? And he's like, whatever, I'm easy. I was like, tell me your favorite meal.
He's like, sushi.

Speaker 1 And then, and Jeff Donne's like, yeah, I can make him sushi. Yeah, it took two seconds to eat sushi.
And we were standing there. I was like, have you been in Japan before? He's like, yeah.

Speaker 1 I was like, the food's good. He's like, oh, no, it's great food.

Speaker 1 Check out the cooking one that I did. No, no, but early this morning, I was like, I am interested, like,

Speaker 1 like, what's going on in Obama's mind? I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, what, yeah.

Speaker 1 It's like, I would love to interview. There's like a ton of people I'd probably love to interview.
I don't know. I haven't really thought about it.
You know, it's just like Obama's got to be so bored.

Speaker 1 Like, he stopped being the president so young. And he was, what is he doing? Yeah.

Speaker 1 And everything changed dramatically the second it was over. And it's like, does he think it's his fault? Does he think he should do say something? Yeah, like deep down inside.

Speaker 1 Is he happy? Is he depressed? And like, yeah, I wonder if he's like laying in bed at night and he's just like,

Speaker 1 if he's like depressed or stressed out. He saw the drone strike on Austin and he was like, that makes me miss the White House so much.
Yeah. This Houthi's getting.
I wish I missed the drones. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because I feel like Obama's like, there is like a, maybe some conscience in there. Like, Bill Clinton, like, came from a dirt floor.
You know, it's like Arkansas. Like, he got it out the mud.

Speaker 1 You know, Bill Clinton's like, it's all in the game. You know, right.
Bill Clinton, like, would, like, you know, kill an orphan and be like, that's what the game's all about.

Speaker 1 He's like, Proposition Joe. Yeah.
You know? The game.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's what the game's all about. You know, like, but like, Barack Obama, I feel like, is like, I don't know.
He's the first black president, you know?

Speaker 1 Do you remember like when he won, we were like, damn, a black guy's the president? We're like, we're like, America. The United States is fixed.

Speaker 1 America's great.

Speaker 1 Like, we're, yeah,

Speaker 1 America is awesome. Yep.
Yeah. We, we got, I was, I lived in D.C.
I went to college there and I ran to the White House and I was like, fuck. I was yelling at the building.
I was like, fuck you, Bush.

Speaker 1 I was like, we got a black guy's moving to the White House, you fucking piece of shit. That was like when everyone hated Bush.
He was like, yeah. 8% approval rating.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Were you there when they killed Bin Laden? Dude, when they killed Bin laden and like john cena said it on fucking raw best dude america

Speaker 1 that was awesome did you go to the white house that night i think when was that that was that was maybe 2011 2011 i don't know i think i was mad at obama already okay i think i was like already like when they they like fucked up health care and then the they fucked up like you know the they bailed out wall street and uh yeah like the guys who ruined everyone's life like just got more made more money from it like yeah i was like oh obama's just like the rest of them.

Speaker 1 You're like, damn, he caught it. He could have.
I was like, I got him. Obama.
I got fooled. Yeah.
But no,

Speaker 1 no, I was talking the other day.

Speaker 1 Do you remember like there was that shooting in South Carolina at that church? Yeah. And then he did the memorial.
And this was like years into his presidency. And he's giving the

Speaker 1 like eulogy at the church. And then he starts like, Amen,

Speaker 1 sing. And we found, we're like, Obama can sing.
Yeah. We're like, he can fucking sing too.
Tune that out. Yeah.
That was. We're like, we didn't even know he could sing.
And he can ball, too.

Speaker 1 And he can ball. And pulls off a mean tan suit.
Yeah. Although I was saying earlier today,

Speaker 1 I've heard from someone that's hooped with him. Oh, you think he's getting preferential treatment? I heard that he calls bullshit fellow.
No, he can pick up.

Speaker 1 Now I'm going to get fucking killed by the Secret Service. You need to get drone strikes, yeah.
I don't give a fuck, dude. Obama apparently calls it bullshit fellow.

Speaker 1 That's actually like, because I would, I would have no idea. That is like a person.
It's a market guess is personal. No, absolutely.
I would have no

Speaker 1 If you told me that guys take it easy on them, I'd be like, well, yeah. Yes,

Speaker 1 the jump shot goes in. The jump shot goes in.
If you're calling bullshit fouls, like, I don't even call fouls.

Speaker 1 It's a pickup. You don't call fouls.
We have one guy here who calls fouls, and everyone just hates. And everyone thinks he's a.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
It's Obama. He plays with us.
Just don't get it.

Speaker 1 You're the president. Yeah, yeah.
You're the president.

Speaker 1 Mr. President, do not.

Speaker 1 I would love to interview someone who's like, yeah, Obama called some bullshit fouls on me. Isn't that like a, that's like a, it's a thing.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 In your brain, you're like, no, I judge him differently. I don't like that.
that I don't like that yeah

Speaker 1 yeah just weak ass fouls and pick up basketball I just want to know what he

Speaker 1 I don't I want to know because this is like you know I guess he he was in the campaign last last time but we really just haven't heard from him and it's like um I just want to know what he what his his deal is the last thing we heard from him was he got accused of like inventing the dossier behind Trump, the Russian dossier.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the state. And like being a big part of that and like pushing that forward.
Was that him? Investigating him. And then he released a statement, which he never does.

Speaker 1 He's not like, he doesn't ever really come out and say anything, but he was just like, hey, I didn't do this. This is bad.

Speaker 1 Because it took him being accused of treason and like threatened with the death penalty for him to be like, I didn't do that. So I think wherever he is, he might just be off the grid all the time.

Speaker 1 I think he's in Martha's Vineyard. Yeah, he's just chilling.
I think he's just water skiing. He's golfing.
He's just chilling and just golfing.

Speaker 1 I don't like that. I feel like there has to be something inside of Obama.

Speaker 1 It is weird when you say it. There has to be in his brain, which is like where he's watching this and he's like,

Speaker 1 Let me be, God damn, get me back out. No, because he's hoping that Trump runs again so that he can then come in.
Does he want to get off the bench? Trump v. Obama.
I think he'll do it for Trump v.

Speaker 1 Obama. Because they don't.
If they're looking at me and stop, they don't have shit. No.
Okay.

Speaker 1 He's the one talent they have. Yeah.
I always say that if you want to be president, you should never be president. And that's the problem that we have.

Speaker 1 The mindset that it takes to get to that position

Speaker 1 is just absolutely insane. I'm probably going to have to do it.
It's not

Speaker 1 eat a reluctant president such as yourself.

Speaker 1 I made that joke to my girlfriend. I was like,

Speaker 1 because I've been interviewing these people. I was like, these people are like, you're supposed to.
I thought they were supposed to be.

Speaker 1 I'm expecting them to cook me.

Speaker 1 And I'm finding that they're

Speaker 1 way less impressive

Speaker 1 than I would have thought a politician should be. Yeah.
I feel like doing crowd work preps you for that a little bit. I don't know.
I'm not a crowd work guy. I'm terrible at it.

Speaker 1 But you've done it. Well, just in me asking them a question,

Speaker 1 they get flustered. Yeah, no, politicians in your head.
Adam Friedland.

Speaker 1 In your head, when you're younger, you're like, politicians,

Speaker 1 those are the adults in the room. And then you realize, no, they're just fucking idiots who are addicted to power.
No, but they're supposed to be able to

Speaker 1 dance around shit. Right.
And deflect and stuff. And sometimes I've asked a question, they're like, ah.
You're like, dude,

Speaker 1 come on. I'm not even trying.
Yeah, I don't know. I'm an idiot.

Speaker 1 I think since media has become so fragmented where you have like your friendly shows that you do, they all just go in their friendly shows and get softballs.

Speaker 1 So they're not used to having somebody ask them like any sort of follow-up question for anything. When you do, you scramble their brains.
Yeah, yeah. I think, well, also they're

Speaker 1 with like the Democrats, they're used to like just doing the like

Speaker 1 the like Anderson Cooper. And they're like, well, Anderson.
And then they like give the talking point thing.

Speaker 1 And then they're not used to actually having a conversation about this stuff like in a different context. And I think it's like, what I found.

Speaker 1 There's one I did last week that was like the guy was like,

Speaker 1 I said to him, I was like, you sound bad. Like, I was like, I'm not even saying that in a mean way, but you can't say that in front of people.

Speaker 1 Like, I said, I was like, you know, like, you, you, you know, I asked him about like one of the people that, you know, donors to, you know,

Speaker 1 private donors that he's taking money from. And he's like, well, I can't decide, you know, when people like me.

Speaker 1 And I'm like,

Speaker 1 you can't, it doesn't sound like a good excuse. Yeah.
No.

Speaker 1 Like, maybe it's like, if you don't need that money, you're in a safe blue district. Maybe you don't have to take money from the real estate lobby.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, you don't have to take money from BlackRock. Yeah, yeah.
Maybe it sounds like you're not doing what's the right thing. Call George Clooney.
He'll help you. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 Come on, bro. Just don't like, yeah, just lie.
Just cheat.

Speaker 1 I do like how everybody watched the debate last year and was like, well, this isn't going to work with Biden. And then the Democrats were like, well, let's hold on.
Let's give it it a sec.

Speaker 1 And then George Clooney was like, I don't think it's going to work. They're like, okay, George Clooney.
He called me Leo.

Speaker 1 Well, they said that it was Obama that kind of like, with that, that pulled the trigger on Clooney. He put Clooney up to it? Yeah, that was

Speaker 1 Obama's in the background. That's what I've heard.
But that in the background, Obama was trying to get Biden to drop out for a while.

Speaker 1 And I think it was like, just, it's, I think, in retrospect, it's kind of just these fucking families that don't like each other. Yeah.
And then I think Jill. Dr.
Jill's a baddie. Dr.

Speaker 1 Jill was like, fuck you, we're not going to do it.

Speaker 1 So then the Democrats rolled out like a mentally enfeebled,

Speaker 1 septic generic. I mean, that was like embarrassing.
Do you remember thinking like, it's, but it's like embarrassing for America. Oh, yeah.
Like, everyone's watching that. We look like idiots.

Speaker 1 The argument about the golf handicap was good. That was amazing.
That was strong. I'll kick your ass, Buster.

Speaker 1 You got to carry your own golf.

Speaker 1 Listen, Nancy,

Speaker 1 see me on the links. It was always great when he would break out like insults that haven't been said since like 1920.
Yeah. That's how old he was.
Listen, Carol. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You horse whisperer. I think so, Buster Brown.
Dude, I re-watched the fucking,

Speaker 1 what was it, the corn pop video the other day. Oh, yeah, that was a good one.
And that, first of all, that was like 10 years. Which one was that? It's not even the craziest part.

Speaker 1 The craziest part was him talking about how the kids used to play with his leg hair. Yeah,

Speaker 1 they used to rub my hair up and down. And he's like, around all these little kids in like bikinis and stuff, and they're so bored.

Speaker 1 He's like at a pool, and it's the opening for a pool in Delaware where he used to lifeguard. Yeah.
I guess. And I think it's an integrated pool.

Speaker 1 So there were some African-American kids that were there. I think the message behind it was they had never seen white person's leg hair in the water before.
They were just enamored by it.

Speaker 1 And so he was like sharing this story as a touching part of his youth growing up. And then his brain just goes on this tangent about this like rough customer named Corn Pop

Speaker 1 who he calls Nan, he calls him Mary because he had a because he had a because they used to put the pomade in their hair

Speaker 1 and you know

Speaker 1 put the pomade in your hair and and I said get off that diving board Nancy or Mary or something. He's always like homophobically abuses a gang member and then the guy threatens him with a with a

Speaker 1 switchblade a switch a straight razor. Yeah, probably a comb some west side story.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like yeah, and he's like, you know how they used to put the straight razors and put them, knock them on the curb, you know, know, get them rusty, put them in a barrel.

Speaker 1 And there's just all these bored kids in bikinis being like, what the fuck is this guy talking about?

Speaker 1 Put him in my barrel, get him rusty.

Speaker 1 And then, yeah, and then he tells this story that the engineer at the pool, the guy that like, there's a pool engineer is like, you go out there and he gives him some chain.

Speaker 1 And he's like, and he like goes up to, yeah, he goes to his car with a chain wrapped around his, and then corn pops like, he's like, I apologize for calling you Mary.

Speaker 1 Now, that would be, it would be an awesome story to hear your grandfather telling. Yes.
Yeah. Like your old senile grandfather.
He'd be like, my grandfather was a badass.

Speaker 1 But it was great. Remember the one when he just said he called the guy fat? He's like, listen, fat.
Listen, fat.

Speaker 1 It was really sad in the end. It was great when he called Zelensky Putin.
He's like, on stage, he was like, he said it like it was the music guest on SNL.

Speaker 1 He's like, ladies and gentlemen, Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 1 It was the wrong one. It was the opposite.
Let me ask you this. So, did you see the visual from this weekend when it was Trump and it was Putin

Speaker 1 in Alaska, the B-2,

Speaker 1 the F-35s flying overhead? Yeah. Do you think that Trump would have gone down in history as the best American president of all time? If he bombed himself,

Speaker 1 if he called in a strike on himself and Putin and just killed both of them. And he wrote a letter to America being like, and it's like the end of Tale of Two Cities.

Speaker 1 It's a far, far better thing that I've done.

Speaker 1 I think you're absolutely right. Yeah.
I think there's no way around that. That would beat the Trojan horse.
That would be the top military sneakery of all time. I think that's a good thing.

Speaker 1 I think that.

Speaker 1 I mean, that would be insane.

Speaker 1 And it was a fake Trump. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Then it turns out it was a fake Trump. Fake Trump.
He's sitting in the White House.

Speaker 1 On him.

Speaker 1 It was like his body double, like Saddam Hussein used to have his body double. So many body doubles.
I love that. I love that idea.
That'd be great. You want to talk some ball real quick?

Speaker 1 Yes, I'd love to. I know you're a big ball guy.
I like it. You're talking to all kinds of ball.
You're talking tennis. He actually.
We're talking Agassiz. He broke my brain.

Speaker 1 I did not know that Andre Agassi wore a wig all those days. He was wearing a rug.
And he had a mullet. The mullet was a rug.
That's crazy. And he was doing it.
He spoke a meth. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And wearing a rug. He was nuts.
And winning majors. That's crazy.
And that's wearing like the coolest clothes of all time.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm from Vegas. And so I was always an Agassiz man.
I was always, I liked the bad boy.

Speaker 1 Pete Sampers had too much chest hair.

Speaker 1 But he was like, you know, these great goody two shoes. Yeah, he's too pretty.

Speaker 1 Those were great rivalries those days. I also, I told you, I sat next to him and Steffi Graff

Speaker 1 when I went with my parents in like, I think, 10th grade to see Fahrenheit 9-11. The Michael Moore.
You sitting next to them. And I was like, wow, that's the goat.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I know you like Tennessee. You're an Alcarez fan, right? I like Alcaraz.
Yeah, I do. I like him too.
But I like that there's a new rivalry. Yeah, it's good.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I liked Fed a lot too. Yeah.
It feels good. I mean, like, I,

Speaker 1 right now,

Speaker 1 I was telling you,

Speaker 1 if you go in New York to the early rounds, like day one or day two of the U.S.

Speaker 1 Open, and just get a grounds pass, you could, they, they just have like 10 matches going on, 10 different courts at a time, like the little courts, and you just see like the you know, number 48 guy versus like the, you know, like a guy that won a play-in tournament, and they were like just playing their fucking like hearts out.

Speaker 1 And it's like, you could just bop around and watch different matches. It's like, it's a really fun day, yeah.
Um, but yeah, I can say,

Speaker 1 I was telling you, you got to read the autoblog. I got to read that.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Have you read it? No. Doing the canon ads back then, like images.
I know that he was like crazy.

Speaker 1 His father was, he was like Earl Woods

Speaker 1 style, but like he was fucking psychologically destroyed by this.

Speaker 1 I feel like that happens a lot in tennis specifically.

Speaker 1 Well, first of all, yeah, it's like it's a, it's a, there's a site, it's a psychological game. And it's also a game like you, you have to start very young, and there's no team aspect.
Exactly.

Speaker 1 So it's just very much like your dad's your coach, and he's just wearing you down as a five-year-old.

Speaker 1 Well, also, but his dad was like, his dad was Iranian, and his dad was a degenerate gambler, and he grew up in Vegas, and he'd like, I'll tell you,

Speaker 1 he'd make him play a man, and he'd be like, and he'd like, you know, he was like 11, and he'd be like, if you fucking lose, we're going to lose our house.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's a crazy mentality.

Speaker 1 To immigrate to the United States, and then be like, I got to live in Vegas. You got to go to Vegas.
That's where we're going to live.

Speaker 1 That is the best place in the world. Let's go.

Speaker 1 So you're a tennis guy. I'm not a tennis guy, but it sounds like

Speaker 1 guys that you're liking tennis. Yeah, that's a cool thing.
It's like you follow personalities and guys. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 And I've gone, like, it's really fun to, like, I live in New York, so it's fun to go to the U.S. Open when you can.
And you're an Arsenal fan. Yeah.
That's huge. What do you mean, this stuff?

Speaker 1 I mean, they don't win. What are you talking about? They haven't won in a long time.
They're like a real team all of a sudden. Oh, yeah, this year actually should be good.
No, I mean, we should be.

Speaker 1 We're nervous right now. I'm nervous right now.
But we're actually like, we're finally not pathetic. We've been pathetic for I started watching in 2005, 2006.

Speaker 1 That's right after they had the Invincibles? They went Invincible 04. Yeah, so that's the worst time.
I've never seen anything good happen. Yeah.
I mean, it really is. It's made me, I think,

Speaker 1 it's a reminder every year that you're going to die one day.

Speaker 1 The saying is, it's the hope that kills you. And it's just like every single year they fucking do it again.
Last year was a wash. Everyone got hurt.

Speaker 1 It was just like everything that could go wrong went wrong. And we're like, we go again next season.
And then we like accidentally

Speaker 1 made the champions. We like were facing Rey Al Madrid in the quarters.
And I was like, oh, fuck, we have to put...

Speaker 1 The whole... World loves to laugh at us because our thing is that we always fucking like our pants fall down in front of the whole school, you know,

Speaker 1 and uh, and they just they love to like see that happen, and um,

Speaker 1 yeah, and then I saw probably

Speaker 1 I think probably my the best thing I've ever seen, which was us win that quarterfinal against Real Madrid and like win at the Bernabeo, and like

Speaker 1 and um

Speaker 1 and I was like, the season might not be over. I was like, and then just we got shitted on by PSG in the quarters.
How'd you become an Arsenal guy? I was uh

Speaker 1 gap year program, and like half the, there were a lot of Arsenal supporters. And the first year I watched, they were like, I'm a Laker fan.
It was like the two best teams are Arsenal and Man Yu. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And it's kind of like the, there were like the cool like crossovers and dunks guys, like the saucy guys. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then there were like the, you know, workmen, like, it was like the Celtics Lakers, you know, Mikhail, you know, Manu had like Ingerlish

Speaker 1 brutes. And we had like just like

Speaker 1 artists. Yeah.
And like Thierry Henry was

Speaker 1 my favorite player, like, my first favorite Henry versus Wayne Rooney. And, like, well, like, Henri was like, no one has played the position like he did.
I mean, he was just

Speaker 1 there, he was the best I've ever seen as a center forward. And, yeah, they were like, they just had cool guys, and they played in a, they played a beautiful way.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And, um, but for 20 years, I would just see us get dude, like, just laughed at and shitted on.

Speaker 1 And, like, Jose Mourinho would give a press press conference and call, like, our manager, Arsen Venger, would be like, he's gay, and he's

Speaker 1 and everyone's like, ha ha, ha, ha, he sucks, fuck you, and, like, just every time something good could happen, it would, like, but it was like, it's this weird thing is, because I can't go to the, like, they have the pub, like, they have Arsenal pubs

Speaker 1 in New York. And I just, I, being an American, like, soccer fan, it's like, it's the it's just the worst kind of guy you could be really

Speaker 1 It's just like I know that it's lame living in Brooklyn, I live in Brooklyn

Speaker 1 I live in Brooklyn and I like footy like it's just like shut up You are actually just like a made-up person on Twitter that that like uh super you know red-pilled guy I used to yeah like if

Speaker 1 Tucker saw that it's like a giant go tell Tucker

Speaker 1 With my latte. Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, yeah, yeah. No, literally, I used to lay in bed at night, and now that I'm just doing the talk show, which is not a podcast, actually.

Speaker 1 Not a podcast, just one on the rap.

Speaker 1 It's not a podcast.

Speaker 1 But I used to like lay in bed.

Speaker 1 Do you listen to it as a podcast feed? Yeah, we do.

Speaker 1 There is a podcast element to it. That's for the ad.
Yeah, of course. For the ads.
For the ads, you choose the numbers. Right, right.
But for the downloads.

Speaker 1 But it's meant to be, you watch it on youtube.com. It's the ad freelance show, guys.
Check it out.

Speaker 1 If you listen to it, though, you're not missing anything, right? You're missing a lot. Oh, what do you mean? I mean,

Speaker 1 there's a whole visual aspect. Adam's physique.
Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 Are you on TRT? Listen, hey, now here.

Speaker 1 You should get on TRT. I'll say it's Arsenal.
Yeah, yeah, back to the best.

Speaker 1 Before that, I used to lay in bed, and you know that one thought you have about yourself where you're like, I'm going to fucking kill myself. You're like, you're almost as sleepy.

Speaker 1 You like jolt out of bed, and it's just the worst thought you have about yourself. And mine was like, always like, you're a podcaster who lives in Brooklyn.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, this is what I've done. We've joked about it for a long time, though.
It is the worst sentence you could say to someone is, could you come on my podcast?

Speaker 1 I'm a podcaster who lives in Brooklyn who supports Arsenal

Speaker 1 who likes European soccer. Yeah, football.
I call that football. I actually call it football.
Yeah. I actually call it.
I say soccer on purpose.

Speaker 1 Are you sick of LeBron?

Speaker 1 He's a Laker fan.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 you know what's going to be the worst is the farewell.

Speaker 1 Yes. You remember the video tribute Kobe year? Yeah.
Where everyone has to act.

Speaker 1 Everyone was like, you're right, brashed. Like for like 20, 19 years in Kobe's career, everyone's like, fuck you, Kobe.
And then

Speaker 1 for some reason, the whole NBA decided, like, what a gentleman became.

Speaker 1 Thank you, Kobe. And he was like, we wheeled him out every game.
It was like pathetic. It's going to be that time is 50.
Oh, it's going to be crazy. There's going to be a documentary about it.

Speaker 1 There's going to be the documentary, the motivation, the genius, and the eye, the genius, the

Speaker 1 fucking bullshit. Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, I mean, I think that I'm a Laker fan, so I like, I guess I'm a Kobe guy. So it's just like

Speaker 1 becoming,

Speaker 1 yeah, when we won, one in the bubble, I've said this before, but like, I like looked into my heart. Like, 30 seconds later, I was like, it doesn't feel the same with him.

Speaker 1 Thank you for being honest about that. It really doesn't feel the same with him.
And it's like, it just, it's an emotional thing, I guess. I think, like,

Speaker 1 he's just not going to be my guy, and like, but it's fine. I still, like,

Speaker 1 he's really good. I

Speaker 1 he's 40, like, and he's this good still, and like, we're still making fun of him and laughing at him. Yeah, I don't think like he's a funny guy, yeah.

Speaker 1 No, I mean, he's embarrassed, like, he just a very funny guy, he's just a fucking.

Speaker 1 Why does he why does he have to say that he knew who Migos was like eight

Speaker 1 before they came out?

Speaker 1 We make fun of LeBron, but at the end of the day, imagine like the type of brain you would have if from

Speaker 1 15 years, like 15 years old for the rest of your life, literally every single interaction you have with another human being is someone trying to be like, We love you, you're the best, like, whatever you want.

Speaker 1 He has had just nothing but yes, men, for his entire life. Well, it changes everything.
You think you're the funniest, you think you know everything. Like, it's it would fuck you up.
That's true.

Speaker 1 Like, every joke he's told has been laughed at, correct? Right, and so he thinks he's funny, maybe.

Speaker 1 He doesn't have anyone busting his balls, no chance.

Speaker 1 I think,

Speaker 1 I think, um,

Speaker 1 he's also the first

Speaker 1 NBA superstar in an era where you have to market yourself.

Speaker 1 Like, we didn't know who Jordan was. Yeah.
We didn't know that he had just hate in his gut.

Speaker 1 We just thought he

Speaker 1 offseason he goes and hangs out with Tweety Bird, Bucks Bunny.

Speaker 1 We didn't know that he was like, you know, just like, you know, like arranging hits and like and just like, you know, like, and then like in his, in his fucking Hall of Fame speech, he's like drunk and he's like talking shit on Brian Russell.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, like, he's just like,

Speaker 1 yeah, when we watch the last dance, we just see like just the spite that motivated him. We didn't know that at all.
He was like a cartoon character.

Speaker 1 LeBron has had to market himself because of like social media, like the digital age and all that shit. And, you know, he's just terrible at it.

Speaker 1 I mean, I don't know who's this, whoever's like advising. I think he's the Akron crew is around him.
Yeah. And I think the other difference I think is like Kobe and MJ

Speaker 1 like think that it's maybe soft to have friends. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They're like, yeah, you're pathetic that you need other men around you. Yeah, yeah.
Like we're boys. We're people that have no, like, we're like, it's a

Speaker 1 man doesn't have friends. A man, like, you know.
A man has a wife, then he dies alone. Yeah, has a wife.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
That's it.

Speaker 1 He's friends with his kids until they're, you know, 12 years old, then he puts them out on the farm. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He dies alone. Gets them drafted.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know, that's what a man does. That's what a man does.
A man will only cry if their dog dies. Yeah, at the National Anthem.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, you kill your dad, you play baseball.

Speaker 1 This is a big show. I shouldn't be.
I'm going to get in trouble. We're having fun.
That was a fun thing. That was a fun thing.
We were riffing. We were just riffing.

Speaker 1 No, but

Speaker 1 the thing is, LeBron's just like, shut up, dude. You don't.
Like, last year when he was on Pat McAfee, he's like, oh, I'm. Oh, like, he was like on team mode.
He's like, oh, I've had it.

Speaker 1 I've had the hail.

Speaker 1 I've like, you know, I don't, I don't, the hail care no more. And yeah, by the way, Brian Windhorse, you, I, I'm not your best friend.
I've never known you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 If you have to say, I'm like, I'm at Brian Windhorse. He's like some guy that's like, also, like, was your, like, your guy in the media for 20 years.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's like, went to the same high school as you. And he's like, oh, and by the way, I am not friends with.
He's like, why are you doing this? Like, everyone loves Wendy.

Speaker 1 Also, just like, just leave him alone. LeBron's just like, you don't have to convince us.
Like, just be bald.

Speaker 1 Can you imagine if, like, if he had one of those Clyde Drexler C afros and he was just yamming on guys, he was just as buff as he is now. Can you imagine how cool that would look?

Speaker 1 The whole thing with Windhorse was like, he was so mad that Winhorse might have gotten one small thing wrong in one of his, I don't know, 10,000 rumors. Who cares, you idiot? Don't care.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just shut up. And Windhorse has never pretended that he was like best friends with LeBron.
Yeah. That's my favorite say.
That's my favorite say. Yeah, yeah, mine too.
I said that. Yeah, that's my say.

Speaker 1 I say that all the time.

Speaker 1 I love like La Cap. But apparently, like,

Speaker 1 I mean, I've talked to people that are like cover the NBA, and they, they say that, like, they, he, he reads everything. Oh, like, all the Lafraud, La Bum.
I would love to see him on. It's just like

Speaker 1 Adam Friedland show. I would love to.
That's my favorite saying. That's my favorite.

Speaker 1 That would be an all-time interview. I would love to have him on.
Well, I had Blake Riven on the show. My friend.
Yeah, he's the best. It's not fair.
That's the best. It's not fair how funny Blake is.

Speaker 1 It's funny.

Speaker 1 Like, I can, you know, he was dunking better than anyone. A professional athlete made hundreds of millions of dollars.
Oh, and he's funnier than he has better comedic timing than almost all comedians.

Speaker 1 Like, I had to do it because I'm like, I thought I was never going to find a wife.

Speaker 1 You're like, 6'10, why are you funny? Yeah. Well, you're handsome and funny.
Yeah. What's the point of funny? Yeah.
Bullshit. He's going to get awesome at golf, too.
I know that.

Speaker 1 He's going to be nice at golf. Yeah, he's going to go to the sea-year tour.
Yeah, he's going to just do it. He's going to be a scratch golfer in like 18 months.

Speaker 1 And also, he he does it all and he's still the nicest guy so it's like you can't even be mad but like if he was a dick with it you'd be like oh fuck him he's just the nicest guy he's genuinely the best

Speaker 1 yes

Speaker 1 why is he nice to me the best i don't he doesn't i don't deserve him being nice to me i think he thinks you're funny he's lovely yeah he's a great guy yeah yeah i mean i just uh

Speaker 1 yeah i i i really got i gave him my theory we didn't actually i don't know if it was in the episode about mj lebron thing because like from what i've heard

Speaker 1 the whole Stephen A

Speaker 1 the whole

Speaker 1 goat debate. He'll never die.
I think that's what and Stephen A. That was the thing.
What we watched last year was

Speaker 1 it was the best because the first time that people weren't talking about Trump, it was like,

Speaker 1 like, it was the first thing that we got to be like, oh, this is great. Isn't this great?

Speaker 1 But Stephen A is like, uh, yeah, and if you, and if you touch me, like, I will have no choice but to give you hands. And I'm like, what are you? It's LeBron James.
Yeah. Also, why are you threatening?

Speaker 1 Why are they threatening? And why is he saying he doesn't want to be fucking and I'm not friends with Brian Winhorse? It's like, what is going on with these people right now?

Speaker 1 It's like, these people are falling apart, right?

Speaker 1 And if you, but and I will give you the hail hands.

Speaker 1 I will give you, I have, I will have no choice. And then, and then, but the best part of that whole thing was just like Skiip was just so tweeting.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He was tweeting for like four years.
Oh, he wanted to get noticed so bad. Teeth to avoid and like just being ignored.
Zero engagement. Another pathetic

Speaker 1 buzzer beater for LeBron tonight. He's the SpongeBob.
He's the most pathetic losers I've ever seen play in the NBA, perhaps. Top 40, perhaps, maybe top 50 player.

Speaker 1 And he noticed Skip 2, like he's been doing, he's basically been pumping up Bronnie.

Speaker 1 Almost like a slight to LeBron. It's a weird, yeah, like being like, he's going to be the next.

Speaker 1 I don't know. He's lost it.

Speaker 1 He just wanted attention and Stephen A got all of it. My read of the subtext with this LeBron and Stephen A thing is that

Speaker 1 somewhere in North Carolina in a big-ass house, a gentleman they took the damn team away because he sucked at owning a team and he's a little bit.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 he's, I think the power you have in NBA journalism is who you have in your phone. And I think

Speaker 1 Mr. Stephen A.
Smith, I think he's MJ's guy.

Speaker 1 And I think that potentially, I mean, the concept of him drunk in a mansion alone, just being like, go fuck with him today. Yeah.
Get him. Just go fuck with him today.
And LeBron has guys.

Speaker 1 Like for 20 years.

Speaker 1 For 20 years. Yeah.
But for 20 years. And now he's going to be on TV, which is going to be awesome.
Do you think he'll be good?

Speaker 1 He needs a buddy. He needs somebody that can bring it out of him.
I was also saying, like, they should actually lean into it. He doesn't have buddies.

Speaker 1 They should lean into it and make the desk like a blackjack table. Because who wouldn't watch

Speaker 1 in between commercials? We need to give him.

Speaker 1 MJ's playing blackjack. We're going to go in live.
He's going to cry. Yeah.
This game's a blowout. Let's watch MJ play a couple hands.

Speaker 1 I wonder how it's going to go.

Speaker 1 You got to watch. I mean,

Speaker 1 you have to watch that. I hope the hate comes out.
What is it? NBC? Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then, of course, Blake is going to Amazon. Yep.
And then Inside the NBA is going to ESPN. And they just have to go everywhere to watch games.
It's crazy. It's insane.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's just like, can it? I don't think there's a as,

Speaker 1 I don't think there's a funnier show on TV than it is at the end of Curb. No.
It's a perfect show.

Speaker 1 It's funnier than Curb.

Speaker 1 It's the funniest show I've ever seen in my life. And we got to interview Charles Barkley last month, and I was just smiling ear to ear for like a day after.

Speaker 1 He's just the best. Like, everything about him is the best.
Oh, my God. They don't have to talk about basketball.

Speaker 1 They could put in the game. Chuck fell asleep too.
Remember that game. Yeah, yeah.
Chuck was asleep on set. Yeah.
I mean, mean, just think about some of the hits they do where they would be like, name

Speaker 1 what team this guy plays for. The league they cover, and they would get it wrong.
Chuck, Chuck doesn't know. I would say any European person

Speaker 1 doesn't care to learn. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But that's the difference.

Speaker 1 They're drunk.

Speaker 1 When Stephen A. Smith makes a mistake, they'll go into like...

Speaker 1 like crisis mode. Like he'll say, you know, someone's on the Chargers who's not on the chart, who hasn't been on the Chargers in a year.
And then you'll see all these stories like, Stephen A.

Speaker 1 Smith has worked so hard, no one else works. These guys make a mistake, and they're like, Yeah, we fucked that up.
That's the you've got to do that, barely about the game.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you got to be barely about the game. You got to be like, Hey, I'm an idiot, I fucked that up.

Speaker 1 If you try to, if you try to pretend that, like, oh no, it's because I've been working so hard, you guys are working me to the bone. It's like, come on.

Speaker 1 I have to imagine, like, they all actually are concealed carrying while they're on the on set.

Speaker 1 Shaq's got a fucking deputies badge. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I would watch them do the red zone because ESPN's got red zone too in the future, not this year, right? I think it's like next year. Next year, I would just have them just sit there.

Speaker 1 ESPN got red zone? Yeah, and Charles Barkley loves football. He's kept on saying that to us.

Speaker 1 Do you appreciate red zone?

Speaker 1 I do if I can't watch the actual games. I can't.

Speaker 1 It just makes me feel like I'm losing my mind. Well, you know what it is for me, from a gambling brain,

Speaker 1 every time they flip to a game, I'm like, where's the big play? And then it will be like, all right, and that's a five-yard out. And you're like, fuck.

Speaker 1 I thought it was going to be like a pick six or something or a touchdown.

Speaker 1 But yeah, we we watch all the games here so we have all the games like the actual feeds of the games i i knew some guys that like were like uh went into like finance like you know but like the 22 23 year old kids and they get like first huge big check and they had a huge like apartment in the west village and just too much money for the age we were at i think i remember they had one thing on the wall it was a pulp fiction poster love that it was like still like just we were boys yeah yeah and they used to just uh do they just used to on Sunday, 1 p.m.

Speaker 1 kickoff, they just start ripping Coke watching Red Zone. Yeah,

Speaker 1 that was too much. And I was like, it was chaos.
I went over a couple times and I was like, what are these guys doing?

Speaker 1 And it was, can you imagine the sensation of being in daylight cocaine? Yeah. Watching football.
Yeah. How many screens is it? How many games? Eight?

Speaker 1 Get the Octobucks.

Speaker 1 The Octobux. Yeah.
Yeah. It is like, it's visual cocaine.
It's visual cocaine. And you're also doing actual cocaine.
Yeah, yeah. At the same time, they're not stimulated enough.
Then they have to go

Speaker 1 just to BlackRock the next day and just, you know, make them a zillion dollars.

Speaker 1 How to figure out how to buy every house in America. Yeah, how to figure out how to engineer a housing price.

Speaker 1 After being hungover

Speaker 1 from 1 p.m.

Speaker 1 below the day before. Eight ball and the Jaguars and Titans.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. It was, yeah, that was really funny, dude.
I just watch them do that. All right.

Speaker 1 Yep. So we talked about Cometown.
We loved Cometown. When you guys did break up, was there any bad feelings? I feel like you guys obviously came back and did a podcast together.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because it was abrupt a little bit. Stop was exhausted from the road, and he was just like, we couldn't.
And then we had to gang record. I think his stop was just burnt out.

Speaker 1 And then he just recorded a special, so then he took some time off. We kept doing the show.
I mean, the point is that at a certain point,

Speaker 1 you're not a baby anymore. Like, you want to stop doing the podcast where it's like, what if a, you know, what if that, you know, what if fucking Tom Brady was Chinese or something?

Speaker 1 And it would go a little bit something like this. Like the Tuck rule would be called the fucking, I don't know, the Chinese rule.
You know, we're like, at a certain point, we're like exhausted. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And it's like, you know, you want to do other things. For me personally, when I got to start doing the talk show, it was like a new thing.
And it put like wind in my sails.

Speaker 1 I was like, oh, this is like something I want to work on. And then I think Nick's now working on things himself.

Speaker 1 And like, you know, I think it's at a certain point. It's like, you know, you're like, I don't know, I'm 38 years old now.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I'm a middle-aged man.

Speaker 1 Is it so weird? I assume people still come up to you you on the street. Oh, yeah.
That'll be the rest of my life. A bug.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I remember when that all unfolded. Yeah, I found out.
And I was like, shit, he's screwed. They got him on the phone.
I don't care, dude. I really don't care.

Speaker 1 I'm so lucky I can see any of this crap. I mean, like, and it, what is like, oh,

Speaker 1 but like,

Speaker 1 this is bull. This is a really sad story, but it's,

Speaker 1 I got, I got a call from my dad.

Speaker 1 I was in Union Square. I got a call from my dad, and he said, your mom had an MRI,

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 she's got a brain tumor that's expanding.

Speaker 1 We knew she had cancer, and he said, It's now aggressively growing. And I said to my dad,

Speaker 1 I was like in public in Union Square, I started crying. I said, Dad, you know, like, listen, you know, we,

Speaker 1 you know, I just want to let you know you're taking incredible care of her, and like, you're my hero. Even if I've, I've said, we've said some terrible things to each other during arguments.

Speaker 1 And then I literally, someone behind me was like, yo, Adam, you're fucking bugged. And, like,

Speaker 1 in the middle of it, and I turned around i was and i had tears in my eyes and he was like oh sorry and it like i i

Speaker 1 i imagine this guy was like thought that i was that i was like calling my dad and bus like yo i got like nick and stop burned me extra hard this week it's just like that

Speaker 1 i was crying like um yeah it was like it's hilarious yeah i don't know i mean it's it's it's weird but it's what do you mean like it's uh it's funny i mean i've been

Speaker 1 you know i really don't care about you know if my friends like the talk show i like work really hard on it it I kind of have guys do the internet for me yeah these days they like posts for me yeah I don't like really care what are the fuck I mean like I've been I think I've because I was the the the bug either like you know on Cometown gay bug I think the gay I was just a fucking gay Jewish bug I think

Speaker 1 I think it's just like I kind of processed the internet a while back and now it's just like a little bit like oh yeah i'm like i have a career and now i get to do this talk show thing it's like yeah i'm fucking like I don't deserve any of this shit.

Speaker 1 Like, I was just like, I'm incredibly fortunate. I was incredibly lazy person.

Speaker 1 But now that I, like, have an opportunity to do something different and cool, you know, I don't want to blow it. I don't want to blow that opportunity.
But also, I want to work really hard.

Speaker 1 You said that you were lazy, but it was still like, it was a great podcast. Yeah.
It was really, very fun.

Speaker 1 But I don't think it was like I had to.

Speaker 1 I mean, I would like, I would knock out three movies a day.

Speaker 1 I wasn't like working hard. Like, stop was like doing the road still.
I think I was like paying my rent and like I wasn't broke anymore. So I'd like it just blew my ambition.

Speaker 1 And at a certain point, you're like, no, there's, I gotta fucking, I'm like, I gotta, like, I'm gonna die one day. Like, I'm gonna go do something with my life.

Speaker 1 So, you have like an actual schedule now? Like, uh, oh my god, I have a staff.

Speaker 1 I have like, yeah, I have like, you know, when I research-wise, I have like, you know, if it's a more substantive guess, I have like a journalist that does research packages to work with.

Speaker 1 I'm like, yeah, yeah. No, I mean, I like I'm like investing myself into this.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and I was just like, you know, it does feel like,

Speaker 1 you know, I'm like,

Speaker 1 I think when you're lazy for so long, you're like, yeah, I'm not capable of it.

Speaker 1 It's made me feel pretty happy that I could do it.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I still, I'm not good at yet. Like, I want to get better at interviews.

Speaker 1 Well, you are good. Yeah, you are.
Well, yeah, I want to get better at it. Yeah, yeah.
You've got the most unique style. And I do think it does disarm the guests a little bit.
Where they sometimes

Speaker 1 want to rescue you sometimes. I kind of feel like an alien, I think, to some guests.
And then them making sense of me, I think, is kind of an advantage. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 It's great.

Speaker 1 I appreciate it, guys. Check out the Adam for the show.
It was awesome having you guys are the best, too.

Speaker 1 I love this show. You guys, I appreciate it coming on.

I'm going to go to Oblock after this. Okay.
There you go. I'm going to go down.

Also, by the way, our good friends,

Speaker 1 John Feidelberg, Tommy Smokes, Little Sass,

Speaker 1 Nick KB, they made a show. It's awesome.
Go watch it on the out of order

Speaker 1 YouTube. It's probably mascots.
And

Speaker 1 yeah, they made a TV show. It's fucking sick.
So go watch it, guys.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Okay, Hank.

Speaker 1 Hey, Big Canopy. Oh.
Pitch and free tents. Oh.

Speaker 1 Hang K

Speaker 1 and the booth boys.

Speaker 1 What are they talking about, boners?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I guess so. No, I think they're talking about actual tents.
Pitch and tents. Oh, yeah, yeah, no, it's guys on camp.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Wow, bonk. Well, I mean, what was yours, Hank?

Speaker 1 Hang K. Like, Hang.
Like your honk. Hang.
Okay, got it, got it.

Speaker 1 Thank you. On your training camp visits during Great Week, did you ever experience the NFL players union poll questions? And did they make sense?

Speaker 1 For example, pre-Josh Harris weight rooms were smaller than high school locker rooms, food, etc. Thanks for all you do.
The Commanders upgraded this year. Well, Commanders was tough.

Speaker 1 We went to the Ravens, greatest facility I've ever seen. Which, by the way, I think they had a bad rating like a few years ago and they in that suit was like, fuck this, I'm changing it.

Speaker 1 Because remember, they had the new pools just put in? The pools, it was unbelievable. Unbelievable.
Unbelievable. But then we went to the commanders the next day.

Speaker 1 Kind of looked like Rinky Dink Operation. But

Speaker 1 they had a new locker room, which was nice. Their new locker room is very nice.
Rinky Dink?

Speaker 1 Compared to the Ravens? Their locker room was sick. It's a great locker room.
The new locker room was nice.

Speaker 1 The Ravens did win us over with their pools. Yeah, and teams do take into account the NFL PA thing.

Speaker 1 I think the... the commanders a couple years ago, they got an F-

Speaker 1 for treatment of families. And I did notice that Casey Anthony is now banned from the facility.
So they take active steps to correct these issues. Hank, should we do this? Players will?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Barstool. Sure.
Publish the results. And just throw in the trash?

Speaker 1 I mean, I wonder what it would be, though. Like, what would the facilities, like...
Ice cream. Ice cream not is too soupy.

Speaker 1 Ice cream has been pretty good recently.

Speaker 1 Yeah, ice cream has been good. It's been

Speaker 1 having a moment.

Speaker 4 It is having a moment. I don't know what.

Speaker 1 It's getting better. What would be the facilities complaint? Is there one?

Speaker 1 The leaky roof. Yeah, that's getting fixed.
Jerry parking in the handicap spot.

Speaker 1 That's not getting fixed. What? Parking.
Parking. That's definitely not getting fixed.
Jack McCarthy parking in the cars.com spot.

Speaker 4 Lack of a batting cage.

Speaker 1 Lack of a batting cage is a good one. I can't do anything about it.

Speaker 1 I actually had a conversation about that. I love that.
I've loved that.

Speaker 4 I appreciate the effort.

Speaker 1 Yes,

Speaker 1 I've been making...

Speaker 1 I had a conversation that was going to cost a lot of money. And then at the end of the conversation, the person who I was talking to was like, why? And I was like, batting cage.

Speaker 1 It was just.

Speaker 1 Yeah. There are some more current cases we could make for sure.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 They disassembled the flight simulator. Oh, they did? Yeah.
Why didn't they put it in the

Speaker 1 flight simulator? The interns took over the flight simulator mood. Yeah, okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 We put it back up. Goes back up.
Because then Paige was like, do you want to take this home? And then I'm thinking I might just take the flight simulator home and put that. Now that becomes my desk.

Speaker 1 Why wouldn't you? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's the only reason we have it. No, a lot of people did one stream.
A lot of people play on the flight simulator. How many?

Speaker 1 So many. So many people.
It's everyone. How many times did you play on the flight simulator?

Speaker 1 Everyone likes planes.

Speaker 1 If I had it in my own house. So

Speaker 1 if we did the NFLPA poll at Barcelona, one of the things would be like PFT doesn't play with his simulator. No.

Speaker 1 Well, Hank, I work a lot, okay?

Speaker 1 And then guess what I had to do?

Speaker 1 I had to stop. I had to curtail some of my extracurricular activities, such as flight simulator, to work on my golf game.
The golf simulator. Yeah.
So I trade one for the other.

Speaker 1 Now I'm back in the skies.

Speaker 1 Okay, fair enough. All right.

Speaker 1 Every summer, five of my friends from college and myself go on a camping trip. We go to a different national park every year.

Speaker 1 Can you please help us choosing the national park we should go to for our next trip? For example, on past trips, we've gone Denali, Mount Rene, Glacier, and Banff.

Speaker 1 What national park should we go camping at next? Thanks, guys. Fuck your backers.
You got to go Yellowstone.

Speaker 1 I had a debate because I was trying to figure out if I was going to if I was going to go to Yellowstone or if I was going to go to Glacier.

Speaker 1 And I ended up settling on Yellowstone, but then I fucked my backup, so I couldn't go to Yellowstone. But Yellowstone, if you like animals, I'm told that's the place to go.

Speaker 1 That is a place, another one, sneaky one that's really good, Badlands. Yeah.
Badlands is sick.

Speaker 1 The rocks just look cool. What's the one in Utah? I think that's Badlands.
It's Badlands. I think they got a few.
Arches. I'm thinking about arches.
What is Bad? Where is Badlands? New Mexico.

Speaker 4 Is Crater Lake a national park?

Speaker 1 Crater Lake is, I think. Yeah.
In Oregon.

Speaker 4 When I was playing baseball on the west coast, we drove by and we stopped at Crater Lake and it felt like it wasn't like on Earth.

Speaker 1 Wait, I was wrong. Badlands is in South Dakota.
What is the one?

Speaker 1 National Parks.

Speaker 1 Arches, and then they got like the Salt Flats in Utah.

Speaker 1 I want to go to both of those. I've never been to

Speaker 1 Badlands.

Speaker 1 I need to correct myself. I would also go back to the Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon is

Speaker 1 what I've been to. Yeah, Arches.
So we were on the same wavelength. Arches is awesome.
I'm told it's awesome. I've been to that one.
In Zion. Zion's also sick.
That's Utah as well.

Speaker 1 That's like big rivers and big rocks. Just big.
When you think Zion, think really, really

Speaker 1 crazy big. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I would say Yosemite too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I've been there. Yosemite's awesome.
Yosemite's in California. Yeah, or Yosemite.
That's what happened. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Great baby's name. Yellowstone

Speaker 1 and Arches. Never been to Bad.
I got to go to Badlands.

Speaker 1 That was all time. Shout out to Teddy Roosevelt.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 These guys on camp questions rock. Zach.

Speaker 1 Is camping in a video game ever okay?

Speaker 1 Great question. Sometimes when you're trying to get these camo challenges knocked out, out, you got to just come on.
I'm not saying it's okay or I don't condone it. I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 Oh, you're trying to protect a streak. I understand

Speaker 1 doing it if you need

Speaker 1 100 more headshots to get like bad.

Speaker 1 It's where you find a spot and you just kind of hide out there. Oh, I think that's awesome.
Yeah, it's great. You find a good spot where you're going to be able to do it.

Speaker 1 Order camping, it's really good. Yeah.

Speaker 1 What about Smith?

Speaker 1 I think everything's okay in moderation. I just don't think it's like, you can't make a habit of it.
You got to get in the mix.

Speaker 1 If we're trying to get some achievements on lock, you know, just five, ten minutes.

Speaker 1 I understand that if you're like trying to level up a gun or like get, I've never been a camo challenge guy, but

Speaker 1 in a game, like, what do you say? What do you say if you walk into a room and you just get killed by a corner camper? You can't, you're a motherfucker camper. Yeah, no, it's not okay.

Speaker 1 It's part of the game. In that example, not okay, not cool.
So, remember when Hank, for the longest time, could not get a

Speaker 1 win in Call of Duty to Warzone? Yeah. And I got like four wins after playing it for a week.
It was great. Because Hank is almost too mobile.

Speaker 1 His add is so bad that he won't even like not i'm not even saying camp he won't like stay in the same like two buildings for longer than 30 seconds why why uh but when i got my four wins they were almost exclusively because i found this one room on the top floor this one building i would just go in there and just not move and i would just stand in there with an automatic shotgun waiting for with it with a mine that was attached to the door waiting for somebody to open the door and then I'd blast them four times and then all you'd hear on the death comps is like you motherfucker you little pussy

Speaker 1 It was great. It was great.
I ended up winning.

Speaker 1 TV would play a games of warzone 45 minutes without leaving like one.

Speaker 1 Love that.

Speaker 1 Well, also, because you had a little sniper position so you could maybe pick somebody off on the roof from that same room. You should be 10 minutes.

Speaker 1 So you just go to the roof, then you go back to the door and wait. Then you go to the roof, then you go back to the door and wait.
It was great.

Speaker 1 That's terrible. Did you lose it?

Speaker 1 That's not cool. Not cool.

Speaker 1 All right. And then last one.
Hey, guys, love the show.

Speaker 1 My camp question is, is it ever appropriate to camp out in front of a store, restaurant, ticket booth, etc., to ensure you get a highly sought-after product?

Speaker 1 For example, Zach may have camped out to ensure he gets the new Xbox, maybe max weighted hours at a new fast food location to get free food for a year. Does the item being obtained matter?

Speaker 1 Do you draw the line at bringing a tent? Is it all just a no-go? We're talking like the store opens at 7 a.m., but people start lining up at 5 p.m. the day before.
Have you seen Beth Page?

Speaker 1 No, it's crazy. It's like two and a half days now.
I think tickets, it's all right. So I've done it for tickets,

Speaker 1 for

Speaker 1 student tickets at Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 If you do it, you have to do it the fun way. You got to get an actual tent and do it with your friends.
And it's just fun.

Speaker 1 If you're doing it like sitting in a chair outside of like a Best Buy, I don't know. Yeah, I also feel like the internet has kind of taken a lot of that away.

Speaker 1 So we used to have to camp out to get tickets for HF Festival back in the day, which you could only get at like Tower Records or Sam Goody. And so you'd go sleep out there and then you'd buy.

Speaker 1 Now you just like get them online. Yeah.
So you don't have to worry about that. I remember camping out for,

Speaker 1 I didn't do it, but I remember the lines and like some of my friends doing it for the Xbox 360. Yeah, I did it one time for, I think, what was the PlayStation that came out in like 2005, 2006? PS2.

Speaker 1 PS2. Yeah, I camped out for a PS2 because I was going to get it, then I was going to sell it online because I had spent all my money at college.
I needed some money for Christmas.

Speaker 1 So I camped out, bought it, spent every last cent that I had buying it, and then I put it for sale on eBay.

Speaker 1 And I think I i made like five or ten dollars off it that's good money but i thought that i had i had figured out the economy little tip for you you do that 10 million times that's 50 million bucks that's right hey you can't go broke taking a profit right you sell you sell a uh a soda can to every single person in china for one dollar you're a billionaire that's a great point that's a great point that's one of those we should do the mount rushmore things that someone told you and you thought were really smart and then you grew up and you're like well that was stupid the mount rushmore things that get to china yeah

Speaker 1 the mount rushmore things gary vee would say yeah right and that people are gonna buy and be like oh shit yeah he's right he's right he's so right i found a market inefficiency kill your whole family every morning uh okay

Speaker 1 what was the question oh camping out you camped out

Speaker 1 uh yeah uh yeah i used to camp out uh grew up like sneakers and stuff like that oh okay well they're different in florida Not bad weather. Not bad weather, no.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you can camp out forever in Florida

Speaker 1 What sneakers?

Speaker 1 Different phone posits as a kid. Orlando Mall, Galaxy Phone Pauses.
There was a...

Speaker 1 That one ended bad, but that was just one that came to mind. What happened? There was a shooting situation, but

Speaker 1 your camp out?

Speaker 1 Yeah, at the camp out.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 With Zach,

Speaker 1 anything's on. No, no, no.
Did you shoot someone? No, no, no, not at all. Not at all.
No, that was just the first one that popped to mind. Because that would be very Zach.

Speaker 1 He's like, there's a shooting situation. We dig in.
He's like, well, I had to shoot someone. Not a weapon.

Speaker 1 As a Florida man, have you ever owned a gun? No, not in on weapons. I'm out on weapons.
Did you ever think about it? Also, no. Okay.

Speaker 1 If I get robbed, I just take my stuff. I guess.
Sorry, sir.

Speaker 1 Just let them have it. Yeah, this guy brings up a pretty good point.
You should have my shoes. Yep.
My phone posits. So, did you get them? No.
No. You left after the shooting? Didn't get them.

Speaker 1 After the shooting? I wasn't there when that happened. That happened later.
Okay, got it. Got it, got it, got it.
Okay, good show, boys. Camp Barstool, tune in to all of our stuff

Speaker 1 for the rest of the week. It's going to be awesome.
Team Max versus Team Dana. Jerry's here.

Speaker 1 Jerry's here.

Speaker 1 Friday. We're doing our fantasy football preview.
How about Jerry? Jerry O'Connell. How about Jerry O'Connell's singing voice? Unbelievable.
