Today is Monday, August 5th, and it is grit week.

Speaker 3 Yeah, baby, we're back. The best week of the year.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Intro we got.

Speaker 3 Football is so back to like going to training camps and just smelling football, hearing football, hearing football, I think, is the best.

Speaker 1 It was so awesome being at Chargers training camp today.

Speaker 1 We have an awesome interview with Jim Harbaugh coming up. We also got to to interview Ben Herbert, their strength and conditioning coach, which we'll release probably next week.
But it is grit week.

Speaker 1 It feels good to be back around football. We've got some awesome interviews coming this week for the AWLs, some big-time training camps we're going to, and we all are dressed ridiculous.
We are.

Speaker 1 Most of us.

Speaker 3 Most of us. We're all dressed pretty ridiculous right now.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 3 everyone is.

Speaker 1 I realized the mistake we made was, so PFT was traveling all last week, and we had the idea he was like i don't know what to do because i'm going to be traveling and i'm going to have no new clothes and we came up with the very genius idea of like hey let's just buy new clothes every day while we're out on grit week um so i i did this i i don't know if max also was in europe so he needed new clothes i packed a single backpack i love it hank maybe cheated a little he packed full clothes but he's wearing the the bought clothes by huey today it dawned on on me though that they have full of suitcases as well Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 3 I brought just a backpack Max's clothes smell like France right now.

Speaker 1 You don't want that looking at us right now though it dawned on me that

Speaker 1 This only hurts me Max and Hank it doesn't hurt PFT at all because he's just dressing like he always dresses PFT is matched a thousand times better than he was earlier today when he's wearing like a striped polo and like polka

Speaker 3 shorts. Oh Hank when I was wearing the part of my take branded polo shirt with the blue mountains it's a great

Speaker 1 No, the outfit was horrible.

Speaker 6 You can have a nice shirt and just like if

Speaker 6 it doesn't match,

Speaker 6 you got dressed in the dark.

Speaker 1 Listen, this is green shorts with a green. Yeah, you do look

Speaker 1 sick.

Speaker 3 I'm the first to admit, there's usually two days a week where I look like I accidentally dressed like a six-year-old. I'm going to like kindergarten, basically.

Speaker 3 I look like Bryce Young walking in a barstool. That's today.

Speaker 1 I get it.

Speaker 1 It was

Speaker 3 my last set of clothes that I had available. Actually, what's messed up is last night I set that out.
I had two options of what to wear. I was like, this is my better outfit.

Speaker 3 So I'll set this out for tomorrow.

Speaker 1 Oh, you went with your winner.

Speaker 3 I went with my better outfit. Yeah, the other was a Lemmy from Motorhead t-shirt and pink shorts.

Speaker 1 So this was the winner. Either way, if we all walked down into,

Speaker 1 and like walked down and saw each other first thing in the morning, everyone would be like, what the fuck are you wearing, Max? What the fuck are you wearing, Hank?

Speaker 1 What the fuck are you wearing, Big Cat? And everyone would be like, oh, PFT is dressed.

Speaker 3 I'm just wearing a John Cena shirt. I actually do own these shorts.
I have these same shorts, but they're

Speaker 1 just normal shorts. They're darker than normal shorts.
The pants were dark. The pants between me, Big Cat, and Hank versus PFT is insane.

Speaker 1 Max looks like...

Speaker 1 I'm wearing the Super Bowl pants.

Speaker 7 You look like you're...

Speaker 1 We're five. Dude, I'm wearing

Speaker 1 a generic football jersey. I don't even know what this is.

Speaker 3 I actually like Max's outfit. He looks like...

Speaker 1 This looks like something that you would wear.

Speaker 3 You look like a guy that runs a disco and Scooby-Doo.

Speaker 6 Yeah, no, he looks like a cop. He looks like a cop from the 70s, like a movie about a cop from the 70s, and they cut to a scene where they're having a barbecue.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 but he also looks like a guy who just was in Amsterdam and he was like, oh, I'm back, and I'm not doing this American dressing anymore. That's what you are.
You look like a drug dealer.

Speaker 1 You look like a guy in Amsterdam. They'd be like, hey, five bucks.
She'll give you the best night of your life. Look like Euro Max.

Speaker 1 You're standing on the street corner. Euro Max.
So Huey's dressing us. This is day one.

Speaker 3 So the nice thing about, I knew that when I walked out here, you guys were going to say, well, PFT doesn't look any different than he normally does. It's better.
Yes,

Speaker 3 I look better, maybe. But the thing that you don't notice here that I thought somebody would bring up is they got me a crop top shirt.

Speaker 3 But the crop top, it looks like a normal t-shirt on me. And I thought that you guys would bring that up.
Yeah. But fortunately,

Speaker 3 I guess just my normal, ridiculous look covered up for the fact that I'm short.

Speaker 1 And we're going back to Chargers camp tomorrow for another interview dressed like this.

Speaker 1 Repping Johnson. And we have some other big interviews coming up that were going to be dressed equally as ridiculous.
Who do you. I stand out the most in my outfit for sure, correct?

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, Hank does have child pornography.
Dude, I'm wearing a football jersey. What are you talking about? But it's football.
You're a football guy. You're wearing a football.

Speaker 1 I look like I'm going to a NASCAR event. Well, the top half of me does.
The bottom half, I don't know what I am. PFT said I'm wearing bell bottom.
I just looked at the picture.

Speaker 6 I just said that I woke up late and had to run out to the RV in like 10 FBI.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 you just woke.

Speaker 1 You were just like oh man i'm a little groggy this is what i wear i wear my this is what i wear my snoopy this is what i wear to eat breakfast and then i got changed for the days that that is on brand for hank hank looks like he's still in bed right now

Speaker 1 do you want to hear your the funny hank story i do more than anything you want to hear it yeah

Speaker 1 whatever no this is a funny hank i want to hear the funny hank story And we'll talk about sports in a second. Can I tell you the funny Hank story? This is vintage.
This is going to be vintage.

Speaker 3 Hank. I don't want you interrupting, trying to gaslight the audience.
I want to tell you.

Speaker 1 I'll tell you, you stop me when I'm wrong. I'm on Hank's side for this.
But you stop me when I'm wrong. But it's just funny coming from Hank, but I'm on Hank's side.
Just to set the stage.

Speaker 3 I'll set the stage with, like, this is what we do all the time.

Speaker 1 Okay, all right, all right.

Speaker 1 The timing of it. I'm talking about schedules all the time.
But the timing of it was very fun.

Speaker 1 Tell the story.

Speaker 1 The timing of it was very funny. So we last week was vacation.
Hank just got back from vacation.

Speaker 1 And the week before. Hank just got back from vacation.

Speaker 1 Saturday.

Speaker 1 Saturday he texted. He I just flew Saturday.
Saturday night working on the fire. You like to tell the story?

Speaker 3 Sorry, you weren't.

Speaker 1 Hank texts me.

Speaker 1 I'm still in Ohio.

Speaker 1 Work trip. I'm pulling up to O'Hare, and I get a text from Hank.
And he goes, I want to get ahead of something. I'm really.
I hate Hank.

Speaker 1 I'm really drunk right now. He texted me on Saturday.
It's like 6 p.m.

Speaker 1 He's just like, I just want to get ahead of this. I'm really drunk right now.
I was like, I don't care. Whatever.
So then he shows up. We're about to board.
He walks up.

Speaker 1 Again, we had just got off vacation.

Speaker 1 First thing he says to me,

Speaker 1 he goes, not very first. Yeah, it was pretty much the first.

Speaker 6 Not long after.

Speaker 1 It was like, hey, what's up? How you feeling? And then he said this. He said, I was looking at Christmas week and how many days we could have off.

Speaker 1 No, I was thinking about the show schedule.

Speaker 1 That was the first thing. He pulled up his calendar.
He's like, look at the Christmas week. I was just like, we just got done with the vacation.

Speaker 3 What are you planning, Hank? Yellow trip?

Speaker 6 No, I mean, I was literally sitting at my house on Saturday doing nothing.

Speaker 3 Just wondering about Christmas vacation.

Speaker 1 I'm looking at the calendar.

Speaker 6 I'm just curious, looking at the calendar. And again, like, part of obviously, I do love vacations.
I'm a huge vacation supporter. That is, you know, a vacation week.

Speaker 6 But I was thinking about the show and, like, you know, obviously, depending on when Christmas and New Year's is,

Speaker 3 how we do the shows differentiates because I understand the sentence.

Speaker 6 So I was just looking at, I was, I was throwing out ideas because there's a world where we could get two weeks off.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was like, it's the perfect Christmas New Year's. We get two weeks off.

Speaker 3 That is sweet. I'll get Hanks back on this.

Speaker 3 When you're in school as a kid and you see that Christmas and New Year's lines up magically, where you get mathematically,

Speaker 1 that's great.

Speaker 3 The difference is we're not in elementary school, right?

Speaker 1 And football is our job. Yeah.
And there's a lot of football being played in those two weeks, including the entire college football playoffs. There's Christmas Day games.

Speaker 6 I had it all planned out and Big Cat wouldn't even let me

Speaker 6 get out my work. Because I was like,

Speaker 1 it goes goes through two Sundays. Colin recorded all those Sundays.
I wasn't saying we're taking those weeks off. There's a world where we record Sunday.
I'm not going to get into that.

Speaker 1 No, no, I'm going to go. I'm on Hank's side here.
I'm looking at it now. We always have to record on New Year's Eve or on Christmas Eve and Christmas, which sucks that we have to do that.

Speaker 1 This year, we don't have to.

Speaker 1 There isn't going to be Christmas Eve games, right? There's going to be Christmas Day games. Yeah, but that's a Wednesday.
Yeah. So we would.
We record on Thursday. So we'll record on Thursday.

Speaker 1 That does rock. And I'm on the same time.
But again, it's just a funny of like.

Speaker 3 Hank, we're going to get two weeks off.

Speaker 1 We're in the first week of August, and he's just like, I've been looking at the Christmas schedule.

Speaker 3 Well, it's also very fitting. The start of Grit Week, the hardest working week of the year, he comes in hot with planning a vacation six months from.

Speaker 1 Well, drunk. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, you're going to do that? Go ahead.

Speaker 1 Be Franny Lydon for a sec.

Speaker 3 This is our second grit week in L.A. that we've done.

Speaker 1 So we, yeah, I'm sure there'll be people like, why didn't you go to the Rust Belt again? Although there was a lot of people who were mad that we did Buffalo Buffalo and Detroit last year again.

Speaker 1 We go where the interviews take us. It's like if you build it, they will come.
And we are going to three different training camps and have

Speaker 1 six unbelievable interviews coming. So that's what we're doing.
And we also are going to find ways. What's grittier than the Pacific Ocean? Nothing.

Speaker 1 Maybe there's a lot of things, but we're going to try to surf tomorrow, and I'm very worried about that.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's where the Mariana Trench is, lowest pad level on earth.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we asked Huey if he knows how to swim, and he said, I haven't drowned yet. Yeah.
Shout out, Huey. I've swam within seven to eight years ago.
Within the last seven or eight years.

Speaker 1 In a pool, in your controlled environment, I'm good.

Speaker 1 This is the Pacific Ocean. So we said,

Speaker 3 Huey, do you know how to swim? And he goes, I think so, which is not the ideal answer.

Speaker 1 We want to.

Speaker 3 We're going to get you in floaties tomorrow in the ocean.

Speaker 1 Either way, people, they'll be haters for anything. I can just trust us that we have some awesome interviews.
And we've we've also been on an awesome interview kick. Oh, yeah.
Forever.

Speaker 6 When we were going through the takies, I went through, I was going through like episodes to think of stuff that happened last year.

Speaker 6 And I went through our last summer episodes and we were just scratching and clawing for anything.

Speaker 1 Yes. Yes.
This summer is just a transition.

Speaker 6 No, I know.

Speaker 6 It was funny when I, you know, you didn't think about it, but I was looking back and I was like, oh, wow. Like, if you compared last summer's guest to this summer's, it's.

Speaker 1 Right in deck. Yeah, it's way different.

Speaker 3 It's crazy. Big cat, you do look funny, though.
You, you, you look like a cop. It's ridiculous, yeah.
Like showing up undercover in an ICP concert.

Speaker 1 No, I'm a cop at Alpine Valley, where there's just all the undercover cops go.

Speaker 1 I'm at a fish concert being like, hey,

Speaker 1 you got two balls.

Speaker 1 We should say, by the way,

Speaker 1 we need an AWL's house for Hard Knocks. So Tuesday night is the premiere of Hard Knocks.
Bears Hard Knocks. I'm very excited.

Speaker 1 AWL, Costa Mesa. Give us Costa Mesa.
That's where we'll be in that approximate area. So where are they going to, who are they going to contact? Huey? I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 Who are they going to reach out to? I think it's got to be Huey.

Speaker 3 It's got to be Huey. I impress Huey.
Our usual criteria is if it's, it's always better if it's a couple. Yep, we need a male, female.
Male, female, or male, male.

Speaker 1 Or male, male, female. Or female.
Oh, Hank.

Speaker 3 Yeah, get freaky.

Speaker 1 Oh, baby.

Speaker 1 Okay. How many extra mushrooms do we need, Hank?

Speaker 6 I said male, male first.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but you, yeah. All right.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we'd like it to be a couple. Generally, less creepy that way.

Speaker 3 And preferably a dog. Yeah, dog.
So there it is. Those are our criteria.
Or we would make an exception if Rebecca Romaine Stamos. Excuse me, Rebecca Romaine O'Connell

Speaker 3 wanted us at her place.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so and include a picture of your watch setup because that will take out a few people who just don't follow directions.

Speaker 1 The email is

Speaker 8 PMT Hardnocks at gmail.com.

Speaker 1 Okay, so PMTHardknocks at gmail.com, Costa Mesa area.

Speaker 1 We want to come to your house and watch Hard Knocks on Tuesday night. It's one of our favorite things we do every grit week.

Speaker 3 It's awesome.

Speaker 1 Remember the time we went to

Speaker 1 a house in Milwaukee and the girl was a big fan and her boyfriend was like, who are these dudes that are invited into our house?

Speaker 1 That was wild. Yeah.
She was like, I'm a huge fan. And the guy was like, didn't want anything to do with it.

Speaker 6 Like, all right, I'll be upstairs.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was crazy.

Speaker 3 It was crazy. And for some reason, she asked us to show up just bringing a bunch of pineapples.
Yeah. It was really strange.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 guy, girl, or Hank would like to fuck girl, girl.

Speaker 1 No fucking, no funny. Guy, guy.
No. First.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Guy, guy's his first choice.

Speaker 1 You did the guy, guy.

Speaker 1 Well, I wasn't sure. Rank your choices.
Rank your choices.

Speaker 1 Rank your choices. You look like you're doing math, right? What the hell? Just say it.
Are you counting counting holes? Rank your choices.

Speaker 6 Guy, guy would be honestly hilarious.

Speaker 1 It would be very funny. Okay.

Speaker 6 Girl, girl would also be hilarious. Yes.
And then guy, girl. Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay. Okay.
And dog. We want a dog.
What about

Speaker 3 guy, girl, guy?

Speaker 6 No,

Speaker 6 that never works. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. So, yeah.
Tuesday night, we're going to watch Costa Mesa area. We'll be down there.
We'll bring the bus. It's going to be great.
What else do we have? Grit week is, we're ready to go.

Speaker 3 It's upon us. Chargers training camp was awesome today.

Speaker 3 We'd be remiss if we didn't say how nice the facility was, the building. We interviewed the building today.
Yep.

Speaker 3 I think that building is worth five wins at least, just on building alone for the Chargers.

Speaker 1 Yep. We got our neck strength tested by Coach Ben Herbert.
Yeah. And

Speaker 1 yeah, I got the strongest neck out of the three of us. Yeah.
No great. Great.
Great neck.

Speaker 3 Big cat, great neck.

Speaker 1 Great neck.

Speaker 1 I think he thought we were all pussies, though.

Speaker 3 Yeah, of course. Of course.
Well, we are.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, yeah, that's true as well.
All right, let's talk some sports. Should we talk some sports? Should we talk some Olympics?

Speaker 3 Let's talk Olympics.

Speaker 1 100-meter dash.

Speaker 1 What? 100-meter dash.

Speaker 1 100-meter dash?

Speaker 1 100-yard?

Speaker 3 No, 100-meter. 100-meter.
100-meter.

Speaker 1 Noah Lyles with painted fingernails. Could it be the year of painted fingernails?

Speaker 1 Wins by 0.05 of a second. We all watched it, and we still don't really understand.
We're like, this looks like the Jamaican guy won.

Speaker 1 The announcer said that as well, completely ruined the moment by saying, and Jamaican,

Speaker 1 the Jamaican takes it. But Noah Lyles backed it up because he was talking a lot of shit.

Speaker 3 He was talking a lot this week. If that Jamaican guy had been a French pole vaulter, he would have won.

Speaker 3 That's how close it was. It was his head crossed the line, I think it was 0.0005.

Speaker 3 It was a period of time that doesn't exist. Yes.
Ahead of the Jamaican guy. And yeah, I guess Nolao's big anime guy.

Speaker 3 Big UGO guy. Yeah, he's

Speaker 1 called his shot, too, because there was a big deal. He finished second in

Speaker 1 the first quarterfinals or whatever it was.

Speaker 1 And heat, and he was like 12th overall, ran real slow, over 10 seconds. And everyone was just bashing him.
being like, this guy sucks now. He even said, he was like, yeah, it's the Olympics.

Speaker 1 Everyone's going to give me my best shot. I should probably run a little harder.

Speaker 1 And then he went and won the 100 meters and USA's on top in gold medals, I think, and total medals. We just dominated.

Speaker 6 We just tied with China for gold. China.
We're smoking them and everything else.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's true. It's a big, big day for just declaring people to be on Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 3 And apparently before Noah Lyles went over, in an interview, he said, I'm envisioning myself returning home as a gold medalist, and that puts me on Mount Rushmore. Hell yes.

Speaker 1 Him and Joe Biden.

Speaker 3 A lot of people. A lot of people going on Mount Rushmore these days.

Speaker 1 Nancy Pelosi is literally trying to end Mount Rushmore season.

Speaker 3 It's tough. We won't let her.
She probably shorted Mount Rushmore's and then talked about it. Now she's going to buy.

Speaker 1 She's going to buy. You did mention the French pole volter who, if everyone missed it,

Speaker 1 he had,

Speaker 1 he basically got disqualified or whatever, the bar came down because his dick was too big. Yeah.
Which.

Speaker 1 Kind of the best way to lose. Because everyone's like, oh, your dick was too big? I'd say...
Everyone knows your dick's too big?

Speaker 3 It's without a doubt the best way to lose. And

Speaker 3 he's from France, so if he was from another country where they circumcise, he probably would have been fine. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 I think it was actually his balls more than anything.

Speaker 3 I think it was his hog.

Speaker 1 It was whole package.

Speaker 3 I think it was the dick, yeah.

Speaker 1 Jokovich is the goat, won gold. It wasn't on TV.

Speaker 3 Couldn't watch it.

Speaker 1 No big deal.

Speaker 1 On Clay, beat Nadal,

Speaker 1 beat the whole country of Spain. I was there.

Speaker 1 You were there? I was there. For the winning? For Joker? You said he'd beat Nadal.
Oh, yeah. When he beaten a doll.

Speaker 1 We had also John Rahm with an all-time choke, and Scotty Scheffler is Captain America. So he won gold.
It was John Rahm was plus five on the back nine. Scotty Scheffler was minus six on the back nine.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he shot a 62 today.

Speaker 6 John Rahm was minus 600 with eight holes to play.

Speaker 1 If John Rahm had shot parr on the back nine, he would have won by a stroke. And he ended up losing.

Speaker 1 He came in fifth.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 scotty shuffler what a beast he also i think he won thirty eight thousand dollars i think that was the purse for today really yeah and he won like this catty won thirty eight hundred dollars not sponsored by live no olympics no he got the gold medal and they gave him like a a cube a gold cube yeah is that everyone that's getting that or is that just golfer that was the very first time i saw someone holding it it looked like something that you would a villain would steal and die hard and like bury underneath the statue of liberty it was like a piece of gold from like fort knox that he got to go home with good for scotty

Speaker 3 what where was the Where was the course today, Hank? Do you know?

Speaker 6 I think it was the same place that the Ryder Cup was at.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 3 Oh, so it is actually right next to Versailles then, which is the original Louisville.

Speaker 1 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 So I might have just made that up. Yeah, I think he did.
Okay.

Speaker 3 But that's okay.

Speaker 1 Scottie Scheffler is the man.

Speaker 3 He is the man.

Speaker 1 Captain America.

Speaker 6 Les Golf Nationale.

Speaker 3 No, wait, it's called Les Golf.

Speaker 6 Les Golf Nacional.

Speaker 1 People were trying to make the Olympic gold as the fifth major.

Speaker 1 They got one in Connecticut, right? They were giving Jokovic.

Speaker 1 Travelers.

Speaker 3 Oh, the road to Dubai.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 6 But Jokovich did like career grand slanting.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 So if it's the fifth major for tennis,

Speaker 1 but they don't have the travelers in tennis.

Speaker 6 True.

Speaker 1 But they probably do. They might.
Or the players. They might.
They might.

Speaker 1 Also, Team USA lost to Mickey Mouse in the mixed. I didn't even know they did mixed relays.
Pretty cool.

Speaker 1 But we lost to the Netherlands and mickey mouse i don't know if you guys have heard this woman's voice um nothing will prepare you for it but here it is

Speaker 9 you know exactly what to do indoors how was that for you oh it was amazing

Speaker 1 that's her real voice it's it sounds like

Speaker 3 one of us doing a girl's voice yeah

Speaker 1 it was amazing she also looks exactly like uh pete holmes wife in crashing Yes, more in Lapkas.

Speaker 3 I saw her. Yeah, she does a lot.
It's weird to hear, even weirder to look at.

Speaker 3 We should not be losing.

Speaker 3 I feel like for as long as I've been an adult person watching the Olympics, we always dominate the 4x100, except for Jamaica that one time.

Speaker 3 But I feel like that's our thing, that we should dominate it. It's sad to see.

Speaker 3 The U.S. women's soccer team won.
That was a great game. No, they beat Japan.
Trinity Rodman. Trinity Rodman scoring goals all over Japan.

Speaker 1 Where are we in the tournament? I think semifinals now. Okay.

Speaker 1 Our basketball team is going to win gold. Our draw is insane.

Speaker 3 Yeah, pretty good.

Speaker 1 Everyone good is on the other side of the bracket. So that's a wrap.

Speaker 3 And Embiid dominated.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he did. He had a good game.
Yeah, he did. I told you.
He had a good score.

Speaker 1 It's a mattress.

Speaker 1 You didn't tell us because you released the video that you were addressing all these things that we just didn't say. Well, you were going to.
No, we weren't.

Speaker 1 I went back and listened.

Speaker 1 You guys just wanted me to get mad first, but you were going to make fun of them. But I thought you were going to make fun of them and then kick it to the game.

Speaker 3 I think if we're doing the... Let's look at the...
I was mad let's look at the team as a whole I would say that Embiid is having a much better Olympics than Tatum

Speaker 1 I didn't say that

Speaker 1 they both have one did not play

Speaker 1 Max do you want to address the country like where's your where's your patriot date well you're saying that because you know I'm right no I'm saying if I if all that matters I was wrong you would be fighting No, all that matters isn't gold because we already won gold.

Speaker 1 Like we're just we're we're playing for basically who can be the best on Team USA.

Speaker 6 It was the Ryder Cup course.

Speaker 1 It was. 2018.
Okay, nice.

Speaker 1 Oh, 2018. Okay.

Speaker 1 Max, would you like to address the fact that the Phillies suck?

Speaker 1 They won today. Okay.
And they lost six. I actually was thinking about

Speaker 1 your last game. I was thinking about it.
Is there a chance that you

Speaker 1 like cursed? You took a week off. You were off on vacation.
And the Phillies didn't win a game for the entire time you were off. That was crazy.

Speaker 1 So I know that sometimes you think that this show is a curse to you because you just keep finishing second. What if, in a weird twist of fate, if you ever left PMT, you actually would lose everything.

Speaker 1 I thought about that. Like be a loser like us.
And also MB didn't play. Yeah.
There was a lot of bad things that were happening to Philly Sports while I was gone. And

Speaker 1 there were a couple moments where I was just like sitting, thinking, and getting angry. And I was like, I can't be angry right now.
Like, I can't, I can't let this bother me.

Speaker 3 You can't be angry while you're holding a baguette.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, there's so many baguettes.
So many baguettes. So much cheese.

Speaker 1 You forgot one important team. Your Philadelphia Water Dogs have been eliminated from the playoffs.

Speaker 1 They fucked up. They suck.

Speaker 3 I think it's fire everybody.

Speaker 1 They suck, dude. They were down 11 to nothing on Saturday.
They suck.

Speaker 1 It starts with us.

Speaker 3 They're turning me into Dan Snyder.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it actually

Speaker 1 does start with Max because they are the Philadelphia Water Dogs. We never were this bad when we were just the the Water Dogs.

Speaker 3 Well, before we got Max, we won a championship. Then we got Max.
They came in second. But yeah, Max, you might be mad, like on this show,

Speaker 3 the series of heartbreak that you've had for Philadelphia sports, you might be completely like maxing out Philly's ability. This is like as good as it gets.
Right.

Speaker 1 So Philadelphia should be thanking me?

Speaker 1 Well, you're not winning anything still, but you can just never leave us. Okay.
Is what we're basically saying.

Speaker 3 Also, I'd like to apologize to you guys, if I could. When we went into this...

Speaker 1 You're not texting me after my big horrific fall and seeing if I was okay? Would fall.

Speaker 1 Would fall. When I found it in my ass.
Did you fall? Yeah, it felt really bad. It felt really bad.
Are you okay?

Speaker 1 Thank you for asking. Are you alright? I am.
Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Did you break anything?

Speaker 1 I almost broke my wrist. In my toe.

Speaker 3 You basically have a broken hand. Pretty much.
Like LeBron. But yes.

Speaker 3 No, but I'd like to apologize because going into baseball season, we were trying to figure out which team to bet against every single day.

Speaker 1 Oh, this is my who's who's back. Okay.
It's my who's back. All right.
Yep. My who's back.

Speaker 1 We'll talk about

Speaker 3 some stats. Every day I think about it.
Every single day.

Speaker 1 Because that team was actually mentioned. But yes, it's my who's back.
Do you guys want to get mad about a list? Yep. Okay.

Speaker 1 Tyree Kill was named number one NFL player.

Speaker 3 And Patrick Momes is number four.

Speaker 1 Yes. I'm insane.

Speaker 3 And Tyree Kill won't even race speed. That's true.
He's a coward.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he is.

Speaker 1 I don't understand this list. I mean, I get it because they're trying to make people mad, but no, because he voted on it.
I think the players voted on it. So this is just hater?

Speaker 3 I think, yeah, it's because there's a lot of teams that despise Patrick Mahomes because he beats them.

Speaker 1 You can't have a top

Speaker 1 Lamar and Christian McCaffrey. I think it's Christian McCaffrey then, Lamar.

Speaker 1 You can't have a top

Speaker 1 100 list of NFL players and not have Patrick Mahomes number one. Correct.
Right now.

Speaker 3 Mahomes should be number one.

Speaker 1 Tyreek should be anywhere between two and four fine but mahomes is number one but the gap between one and two is significant right it makes no sense yeah it's just people that have lost to patrick mahomes yeah and it also opens up like if i were a dolphins fan i actually wouldn't want to have tyreek hill be the number one player because it just opens up chiefs fans to be like all we care about is rings yeah And then they could just do that to everyone.

Speaker 3 Well, hypothetically, what would happen if the Chiefs ever played against the Dolphins in the playoffs?

Speaker 1 What would the weather be?

Speaker 1 Pretty cold. It wouldn't go well for the Dolphins.
Okay. It It would not go well.

Speaker 3 It would be helmet-breaking cold.

Speaker 1 Yes, it would not go well for the Dolphins. All right, what else in the sports world? Hall of Fame

Speaker 1 inductions were this weekend. Devin Hester,

Speaker 1 that was pretty cool.

Speaker 3 He said, I'm hopefully the first of many to get in.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and he said I'm the best of all time. And he is.
He is the best.

Speaker 1 That's not even a question. Steve McMichael, obviously battling ALS.
Very sad, but great that he got the recognition. Yep.
Julius Peppers, who else? Patrick Willis?

Speaker 6 Isn't it basically going to be impossible for another kick returner to get in?

Speaker 1 I think you're talking about Josh Cribs and Brian Mitchell. Yeah.
Maybe Dante Hall.

Speaker 3 Dante Hall, human Joyce. I feel like he was.

Speaker 3 The career was too short for Dante Hall.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was. But yeah, it was very fitting that Devin Hester went in on the weekend that started the new era of kicks.
Although the new kick is supposed to allow for more returns.

Speaker 3 I think we've been thinking too much, myself included, about about how teams are going to take advantage of it on the return.

Speaker 3 I think it's going to be a bigger advantage for the kicking team to do it than the returning team.

Speaker 3 I feel like a smart special teams coach is going to be able to pin them with like a fucked up kick every kickoff.

Speaker 1 Yeah, a really high kick. Wait, can you fair catch, though?

Speaker 3 I'm not sure. You probably can.
Yeah, you can fair catch basically anything.

Speaker 1 This is the second show in a row where we don't know these things.

Speaker 3 No, that makes sense. You can fair catch anything, but I...

Speaker 6 There hasn't been more games.

Speaker 1 Yeah, true.

Speaker 1 We haven't seen it enough.

Speaker 3 Yeah, my prediction for this NFL season: I think people are gonna really hate the kickoff because we hate new things until like we just get used to it, and then we're like, oh, it's fine.

Speaker 3 It's basically the same, we're getting the same amount of returns, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 It does technically, if you go to the NFL website, it says promotes more returns. Okay, yeah, well, that's so we'll believe them on your property.

Speaker 1 No, I think you're saying they'd lie, yes, I think eventually it'll be better.

Speaker 3 I think overall it's gonna be better, but because it's a safer game, because it's new, people are gonna hate it, correct.

Speaker 1 We hate everything now, yeah, that's a fact.

Speaker 1 Okay. Any other sports stories?

Speaker 3 I've got one thing I want to get ahead of.

Speaker 3 I alluded this to Hank earlier. Over the course of the weekend, we were in Nashville.
Pup Punk played at the Barstool Nashville Bar. And it was a great time.
Had a blast.

Speaker 3 Before the show, I was getting my guitar tuned up. I was setting up the amp, all that stuff.
And

Speaker 3 a lady came up to me on the side of the stage. She was probably, I'm going to guess, 45, maybe 50 years old.

Speaker 3 She was very obviously there on a bachelorette party, which is the number one reason people go to Nashville.

Speaker 3 And the beer games. And the beer games, of course.
And she came up to me and she was saying something. I walked over to her.
I was like, what's that? And she was like motioning over.

Speaker 3 She's like, I'm on a bachelorette party. It's a scavenger.
And I was like, oh, okay, cool. Got finished setting some stuff up.
And she was still there. Like, come here, come here.

Speaker 3 So I walked over to her and she was like, put your number in my phone.

Speaker 1 And I said, I can't do that.

Speaker 3 I was like, I'm not going to give you my number. And then she was like, I just need it for a scavenger hunt.

Speaker 3 please just give me your number i was like i don't know i can't i can't check this off like you're gonna have to find somebody else to ask then she's like just put in any number i don't care so i can just check it off and say that i did so i reached over and just hit in 10 random numbers

Speaker 3 there were people that had cameras out at the time

Speaker 1 you should have put in

Speaker 3 one and it might look like i gave a 50 year old woman my number

Speaker 3 wanted to just get ahead of this that's not what happened so in case that video comes out i'm ahead of it that's good. That's what we call getting ahead of a story.

Speaker 1 That's smart. Yeah, see, this is the Nashville Barstool Bar.
Yes, any other

Speaker 1 videos you want to get ahead of?

Speaker 1 What at the Nashville Barstool Bar? All right, no, I do. I think we're good.
Huey, anything? No, okay, we're good. Yeah, you should have put in 911.
I should have put it and then just hit dial.

Speaker 1 Yeah, was she hot?

Speaker 3 I think.

Speaker 6 Uh, I should give her my number.

Speaker 1 Yeah, your number.

Speaker 3 Well, Hank, I thought you'd be busy. There was another crazy plane lady that went viral this weekend.
I thought maybe

Speaker 3 reaching out to her.

Speaker 3 You see the naked plane lady? Yeah. Totally nude.

Speaker 1 Totally nude. Wait, was this one or not?

Speaker 1 I think maybe

Speaker 3 back in her day.

Speaker 1 Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Cannons?

Speaker 3 I don't know. Respectfully, I did not look.
Respectfully.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Respectfully. Respectfully.

Speaker 1 Nancy Pelosi should have just done a press conference being like, my cannons are on the Mount Rushmore. Yeah.
Been like, okay.

Speaker 3 Yeah, just put them like underneath Abraham Lincoln.

Speaker 1 Yeah, put these cannons on. Okay, let's do who's back of the week.
Then Coach Jim Harbaugh. Give it up for Chicago.

Speaker 10 Sebastian Maniscalco's new stand-up special, It Ain't Right, is coming to Hulu on November 21st.

Speaker 1 30 years ago, Jeff Bezos, complete nerd. Bezos now ripped to shreds on his super yacht, and the boxes keep

Speaker 1 coming.

Speaker 10 Sebastian Maniscalco, It Ain't Right, Premieres November 21st, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers.

Speaker 1 Terms apply.

Speaker 1 Hank, your Who's Back of the Week?

Speaker 6 My Who's Back of the Week is the Chicago. No, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1 You don't have one? Oh, no.

Speaker 3 You don't have one. He was planning his vacation earlier.

Speaker 1 He was planning his vacation. Oh, my Who's Back of the League is disgrace.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 6 Our three-on-three basketball team got eliminated.

Speaker 1 Didn't even met.

Speaker 1 Disgrace.

Speaker 3 So bad. Jimmer was hurt, right? I'm going to blame this on Jimmer being hurt.
I think he played. No, Jimmer's hurt.

Speaker 1 He did not play against Lithuania. I don't know if he played the last game.
We were 0-2, then he didn't play, then we lost again. I think we won one game.
I don't even know.

Speaker 1 How the fuck is this possible? Also, why don't we just send our...

Speaker 1 Why isn't Jalen Brown in 3-3?

Speaker 6 I think it's like a different type of training. I don't know.
It's disgraceful.

Speaker 1 No, it's basketball.

Speaker 6 Yeah, like Peyton Pritchard.

Speaker 1 Like, just send our next three guys.

Speaker 3 Wait, once we're over there and we got guys like Jason Tatum and Joelle Embiid that can't get minutes, why don't we just put him over on the team?

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 Joel Enbi, it's a fast-paced game.

Speaker 6 That's true.

Speaker 1 He's too fat to go all the way to the three-point line and back.

Speaker 1 It's insane that we lost this early. We didn't even make it to the knockout stage.

Speaker 1 Disgrace. Absolute disgrace.

Speaker 1 Why isn't Golke on the team?

Speaker 6 Good question.

Speaker 6 There's a lot of people. I think they're going to have to do some, you know, bring Coach Kay in and, you know, save our country again.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 We should take our best basketball-playing football players.

Speaker 1 The women's 3-0-3 team does have WNBA players. So why the fuck don't we have NBA players in our 30-3?

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's not good. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. What's going on? What's going on? Max.
No, I just thought it was funny. Huey loves talking about WNBA.
Oh, yeah. No matter what.
He loves it.

Speaker 1 If who's back's coming up, Huey's talking about it. He's got a WNBA back for us.
All right, PFT, who's your who's back?

Speaker 3 My who's back of the week is John Gruden. John Gruden was at Chiefs practice today.

Speaker 6 He's also a beast on cameo. Is he really? What's he doing? Like number one on cameo.

Speaker 1 Let's get a camo. John Gruden.
How much is he? Gotta be expensive. We should actually try to do a full interview with him on cameo.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, fuck. That would rule.

Speaker 3 Yes. Yeah, let's get John Gruden.

Speaker 1 Let's just do a full, full interview. We'll run it.
Yeah, full. All right.
Okay, we're going to do that. Let's write like 15 questions.

Speaker 3 Can we just be like $130?

Speaker 1 This is going to be the most expensive interview we've ever done.

Speaker 3 One of the questions should just be, or we write his answers for him, right? So one of his answers should just be the text of one of the emails. Good question.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Thanks.
Good question. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay, yeah, we're going to do that.

Speaker 3 But yeah, he was at Chiefs' practice today. He was wearing a Chiefs uniform, and he was advising Chiefs' coaches.
Whoa. So I think John Gruden might be secretly on the Chiefs coaching staff.

Speaker 1 Dipping his toe?

Speaker 3 I think he's dipping. He's dipping more than that.
Wow. He's like mid-shaft right now with the Chiefs.
And he used to work with Andy

Speaker 1 Green Bay, right?

Speaker 3 I believe so. So I feel like Andy Reid would be the guy.
If there's any coach right now in the NFL that does not give a fuck what

Speaker 3 the league office thinks about them, it's probably Andy Reid. Yeah.
He's too successful.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Untouchable. John Gruden would be fun to have back.
I thought you were going to maybe do your who's back

Speaker 1 RFK Jr. Can you explain the bear thing?

Speaker 3 Oh, the bear thing. Yeah.
Yeah. So this doesn't make any sense.
It's kind of a fun story, and he got out ahead of it just like I got ahead of the old woman story.

Speaker 3 But so from what I understand is RFK Jr.,

Speaker 3 he back in the day, he was driving behind his friend. They were going on a hunting trip.
The car in front of him ran over a bear, a bear cub, like a young bear. And then RFK Jr.

Speaker 3 pulled over, picked the bear up.

Speaker 3 Put it in the back of his van.

Speaker 1 It's not very Kennedy-like of him.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he actually going back to help something that might have been him. Yeah, yeah, so stepping out a little bit on that.

Speaker 3 So he put the bear in the back of his van uh because he was going to skin it and then take the meat later because naturally because he had a bear license right as one does okay so he uh he then proceeds to go back to new york he forgets he's got a steak dinner at peter luger's so he's like okay i'll just duck in for the steak real quick i'll leave the dead bear in the back of my van no big deal go inside eat the steak dinner then the dinner ran a little bit long okay so he goes back and he's like oh crap i got to get to the airport uh

Speaker 3 i i don't know what i'm going to do with this dead bear cub that i've got in the back of my van so then he drives with his buddies that he was just drinking with or they were drinking he drives with them now it's getting more kennedy like yeah yeah so they get in the car and they have a great suggestion that he says he played along with which was to take the bear to central park and stage it and make it look like a bicycle ran into and killed the bear cub okay it's a pretty common prank and the many many bear cubs in central park a lot of them yeah so this is going to be a funny thing they were doing with the boys This actually is like a guys being dudes moment.

Speaker 3 Yeah, like somebody has a bad idea, all your friends are hammered, and then you think that it's a good idea for some reason.

Speaker 3 So, then he drives the bear, the dead bear cub, to Central Park, stages it to make it look like it got run over by a bicycle, which I guess would kill a bear.

Speaker 3 But at the time, there were a bunch of like bike-related fatalities in New York City, okay? So, they were doing that as a joke about like all the bicyclists hitting people.

Speaker 3 They're like, even they're they're hitting bears now.

Speaker 1 Oh, it was a

Speaker 1 comment on science, It was satire.

Speaker 3 Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah.
So they put the bear there, and then

Speaker 3 the next day on the news, they wake up and they turn it on, and it's like national news that a bear cub got run over by a bike, and it's a crime scene.

Speaker 3 And for the last, I don't know what's the date on this. Can somebody look that up like when it happened?

Speaker 3 But ever since then, it's been like a big mystery. How did this bear cub die in Central Park? Turns out that RFK Jr.

Speaker 1 put it there. And how did we find this story out today?

Speaker 3 So we found out today because RFK Jr. was doing a podcast with Roseanne Barr.
Okay. And so he found out that the New Yorker was going to write a story about it.
Okay.

Speaker 3 So he was getting ahead of the story by telling Roseanne the whimsical story about how he ran, how he hid the bear carcass in Central Park.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. 10 years ago.

Speaker 3 10 years ago, yeah, yeah. So like for the last 10 years, New Yorkers have been wondering

Speaker 3 what happened with this bear. Turns out RFK Jr.

Speaker 1 But what if you find out that RFK Jr. had a hand in Flacco the Owl?

Speaker 3 It's a possibility.

Speaker 1 That could be a possibility.

Speaker 3 Yeah, let's not put anything past him at this card. Close that case yet.

Speaker 1 So get ahead of that. We got an insane headline.
Yeah. Pretty,

Speaker 1 I think I don't care at all. Yeah.
But it was, it's still a cool story. Yeah.
Like here.

Speaker 3 Like, I actually appreciate what RFK Jr. is doing in this in this political season where like everything has been very intense.

Speaker 3 And he's just like coming out with stories left and right about being a weirdo.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, there was the famous one when a reporter asked if there was any more sexual allegation things coming out about him, and he just said, we'll see. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Which is a hell of an answer.

Speaker 3 He's been on a heater, too, like the brainworms thing.

Speaker 1 Do we think he

Speaker 1 don't think he killed the bear?

Speaker 3 He claims that he didn't.

Speaker 1 Because that part feels.

Speaker 3 He says that there was a car in front of him that...

Speaker 1 Sounds like Billy Football, the way he's like, yeah, this dude killed a bear and I got it.

Speaker 3 They both kind of believe a lot of the same things politically.

Speaker 1 But like,

Speaker 3 if you hit a bear and you kill it,

Speaker 3 and I'm assuming you're going to notice that it's going to hit your car and probably cause some damage. Right.
Do you just keep going or do you pull over and you're like, what the fuck was that?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 That's why that part doesn't really. And I don't really, I don't think you see a bear get hit and then pull over immediately being like, ooh, I want this bear.

Speaker 3 I want this bear meat. And I want to skin.
Is it a bear cub? I want to skin this bear cub, yeah.

Speaker 1 That doesn't feel like a lot of meat.

Speaker 3 That's also a valid point. And would you want like a bear cub skin in your house?

Speaker 3 Like, if you're going to, there's nothing cooler than having like the bear that's standing up looking like it's going to kill you. A little baby bear.

Speaker 3 But like a tiny little bear is kind of a fucked up thing. Yeah.
That might be a bigger red flag than putting in the back of your van.

Speaker 3 Then you put it in the back of your van like it's a hostage for 15 hours and you're like, oh, I can't leave it in my van because it'll smell.

Speaker 3 Let's drive from Brooklyn to Central Park to drop it off.

Speaker 1 This story doesn't really make sense anymore.

Speaker 3 It makes all the sense in the world to me.

Speaker 1 Okay, My Who's Back. I got two of them.
First is, we were alluding to it, the Chicago White Sox, who are on a 20-game losing streak.

Speaker 1 Now, PFT, you mentioned it, but we did have the debate before the season: should we bet against the A's or the White Sox?

Speaker 3 Yeah, it came down to those two teams.

Speaker 1 And we chose incorrectly because we are betting against the A's every day, and I think we're down eight units,

Speaker 1 which isn't disastrous. But the White Sox have lost 20 games in a row.
They have also have a streak of 14 losses in a row. They're 16, or sorry, 60 games under 500.

Speaker 1 If you just erased their 14 game losing streak and their 20 game losing streak, they would still have the worst winning percentage in baseball this year.

Speaker 3 And we'd be rich.

Speaker 1 And we'd be rich. If you took their 20-game losing streak and 14-game losing streak and magically made them a 20-game winning streak and a 14-game winning streak,

Speaker 1 they would only go up one spot in the AL Central.

Speaker 3 It's bad.

Speaker 1 That's how bad they are. They are so, so bad.
It's, I mean, here's another one. The last White Sox win was closer in time to the Celtics winning the NBA Finals than to right now.

Speaker 3 That's bad. That's really bad.
I feel bad for White Sox.

Speaker 3 Part of the reason why we didn't bet against the White Sox every day, or at least me, why I didn't really want to do that was because new in Chicago. I'm trying to enjoy the city.

Speaker 3 A great way to make enemies here is by hating all their sports teams.

Speaker 1 But it turns out we should have done it because White Sox fans hate the White Sox more than anyone at this point. I know.
Because Jerry Reinsorf has completely made like this. It's a joke.

Speaker 1 Here's another one. This is from Jay Kuda.
Only two managers in baseball history have at least 200 games managed for the same team in a winning percentage under 333, which is insane.

Speaker 1 winning percentage.

Speaker 1 Pedro Graffal and a guy named Dr. James Prothrow, who was a licensed dentist who managed the Phillies during World War II.
Love that.

Speaker 1 That guy had to manage the team because everyone was fighting the Nazis. And then it's Pedro Graffal.

Speaker 3 That's insane. I'm not the step coach.
I'm the coach that stepped up. Yeah, it's one of my great regrets in life.
Yeah. Not fading the White Sox every single day this year.

Speaker 3 What would you, if you, at the start of this losing streak, if you had bet $100 on them and then you let it ride, what would that total be?

Speaker 1 Someone's going to have that stuff.

Speaker 3 We're not maths guys.

Speaker 1 Really bummed out. 21, I think, is the record.
Yeah, so what are they at?

Speaker 3 19 now?

Speaker 1 No, they're 20.

Speaker 3 They're at 20 now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're at 20.

Speaker 3 Every time I see this happen, I just think of how much more money I would have.

Speaker 1 They're so bad, it's like getting to a point, too, where they're basically circling the

Speaker 1 rotations where I think they played the Twins. I think they just finished playing the Twins, or maybe

Speaker 1 the Twins this weekend, or maybe it was during the week.

Speaker 1 But there was a game August 3rd where the last time they won a game was against Bailey Ober on the Twins, and then they were facing Bailey Ober again, like, you know, three weeks later.

Speaker 3 And 60 games out is so many games.

Speaker 1 So many games out. It's ridiculous.
It's 27 wins. 27 wins, and we're in August.
It's insane.

Speaker 1 And then my other who's back is, I don't know if you guys saw this.

Speaker 1 It was, I'm setting myself up for some insults, but

Speaker 1 there was an account called Brooksgate that did a thread of all of the most retweeted and liked

Speaker 1 or yeah, retweeted and liked tweets of all time by NFL teams. Did you guys see this? So

Speaker 1 there was some good ones in there.

Speaker 1 The Bears, the Bears one was welcome to the Chicago Bears, Justin Fields. That hurt a little.

Speaker 1 The Bills and the Bengals had, it was all about DeMar sending thoughts to DeMar.

Speaker 1 Cowboys one was Jerry Jones taking a knee,

Speaker 3 which we forgot that he did that. Oh, no, it's so great.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then the one that really hurt me, Hank, you'll get a laugh out of this. The Packers one is actually, I think, the oldest one on this.

Speaker 1 And it just says it's 42-0 Packers with 14 seconds left in quarter two. That was the game we watched together where Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 3 That was before they juiced Twitter numbers.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's from 2014.

Speaker 1 I don't know what the Commanders won. Oh, the Commanders was when you guys broke the Steelers

Speaker 3 undefeated season. That's right.
Yeah, that was the worst 11-0 team of all time, those Steelers. Yeah.
What about the Chargers' PF Changs?

Speaker 1 Ooh, I don't think the Chargers PF Changs was on there.

Speaker 6 Patriots has got to be a 28-3 one.

Speaker 1 The Patriots was something about Tom Brady. Oh, the Eagles one was a big-time cuck one.

Speaker 1 Said, time's yours, Andy, after he won the Super Bowl in 2020. Oh, no.
That's brutal.

Speaker 1 The number one liked, favorited tweet by the Eagles is celebrating someone else's Super Bowl. We respect Andy.
Okay. I love Andy.
I'm happy that he won the Super Bowl. You can't.

Speaker 6 You can't. That's all right.

Speaker 1 No respect. Yours, Patriots, was congratulations to the greatest of all time.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's another one. That was after the Bucs won the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Brutal.

Speaker 1 Brutal. Yep.

Speaker 1 Just piece that together.

Speaker 3 Big time cuck energy over there. I thought the Patriots one would be when they accidentally tweeted out a race Tom.

Speaker 6 I was out of six Super Bowls.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I was just backing you up. I was like, they don't know anything about respect.
The saddest one

Speaker 1 organizations, and you're just trying to be an asshole.

Speaker 3 That's big time ACC congratulating Katie Ladecki.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Stanford University.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 The saddest one, besides, obviously, the

Speaker 1 one I mentioned about the Packers just shitting on the Bears was the Dolphins. Can you guess what the Dolphins one was?

Speaker 1 It has to do with their new quarterback or their new contract for their quarterback. No, Tua.
No. It says

Speaker 1 Tua has been taken to a local hospital for further evaluation. He is conscious and has movement in all his extremities.

Speaker 3 Okay, so that was probably also a big prayer's up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but that was the most likely treated was when, I think it was after he got, I think it was the Bengals game when he had, got really concussed.

Speaker 3 What did

Speaker 3 the Panthers be?

Speaker 1 Oh, the Panthers. Let's see.

Speaker 1 It's a fun little trip down memory lane. Oh, yeah, the Jaguars.

Speaker 3 Happy Jeans Friday, everyone.

Speaker 1 Jaguars had a good one about just like shitting on the Steelers. Steelers.

Speaker 1 I'm looking for the Panthers. I'm looking for the Panthers.
Someone give me a line. Oh, Panthers.
It was Luke Keekly retiring. Okay, thank you.
A lot of that. Yeah, a lot of that.

Speaker 1 And then obviously, DeMar had a lot. Okay, Huey, your who's back?

Speaker 8 Yeah, my who's back is Ohio State fans back on their bullshit after

Speaker 8 all the allegations coming out today of

Speaker 6 Coach Moore. Findings?

Speaker 1 Findings? No, it's allegations. What were the findings?

Speaker 8 He deleted a couple text messages in regard to Connor Stallions and his possible knowledge on the 52 text messages.

Speaker 1 52.

Speaker 8 That's not as much as 200. And so, you know, he's just doing his job, his due diligence.
I don't think anything. I know this is going to be any...
It's not going to be a big deal pass today. Yeah.

Speaker 8 I don't think anyone's going to talk about this in a week from now.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Flip on the radar. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 Thank God nobody's talking about it today.

Speaker 1 They also confirmed the Connor Stallions was on a central Michigan sideline. That's good for them.

Speaker 8 That program, the MAC, needs a lot of help.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 8 That program's going to be a powerhouse with kids.

Speaker 3 It might have been just like Michigan sharing one of their assistants with CMU.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Nothing inappropriate going on.

Speaker 1 We interviewed Harbaugh like a couple hours after this. We weren't going to ask him about this.
I don't know. I'm sure there'll be people like, why don't you ask him?

Speaker 1 We have a relationship with Coach Harbaugh.

Speaker 3 I really didn't feel like being like, hey, putting on our big J hats.

Speaker 1 What's going on with Sharon Moore? Yeah.

Speaker 3 Listen, we're here to talk about his team right now. Yeah, right.
And also suck his dick a little bit about Michigan.

Speaker 1 Also, it was an awesome interview. So I am still, as crazy as the Connor Stallion story is, I still think that everyone was doing something similar and they were just mad that Michigan, like this,

Speaker 1 this all comes from Ohio State being jealous that Michigan was beating them. Yeah.
And Ryan Day, like, having that firm that was, wasn't his brother created a firm?

Speaker 3 Something about his brother and worked up in New England somewhere. Yeah.
It's the best college football story of all time.

Speaker 1 It is. Connor Stallions is just a hilarious character.

Speaker 3 Yes, he's an American hero. He's like the American dream.
Hank, what are your thoughts on this?

Speaker 3 As a veteran of someone who's been accused of spying on teams, and as a veteran of a fan of a team who's deleted a lot of text messages?

Speaker 6 Yeah, I think you've got to get every advantage you can. I think if you're not going to do it, another team's going to.
And

Speaker 6 to Bitcat's point, the only reason they got caught is just because people are mad they were doing it so well.

Speaker 1 They were winning.

Speaker 8 I mean, there's a chance if Ohio State beat up Michigan the last two years. We don't even know Connor Stallion's name.

Speaker 3 That's true. Good point.
Good point, Huey.

Speaker 1 Thank you. You acquitted yourself quite well.

Speaker 1 Okay, should we get to our interview? Let's do it.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest, recurring guest. It is our Grit Week starter grit week presented by Coors Light.
It is Coach Jim Harbaugh, national champion, back in the NFL.

Speaker 1 Coach, you know how Grit Week works. So you've given us this answer before, but it's been a while.

Speaker 1 How would you define grit?

Speaker 1 I would define it as

Speaker 1 that gravel in the gut

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 even

Speaker 1 that you personally have that overcomes

Speaker 1 that situation when

Speaker 1 you doubt yourself,

Speaker 1 those pressure moments. And

Speaker 1 the guys that have it,

Speaker 1 athletes who have it, men or women, whoever has it, I mean, then they are able to give their best when their best is needed most. Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 3 Overcoming a little adversity from time to time. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Do you do you enjoy a little bit of adversity just so you can get a nice little W, a nice win over like maybe your inner demons or whatever the case may be?

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, there's, there's like the level of the W would be, yeah, I mean, we just love a W no matter what. I mean,

Speaker 1 you win.

Speaker 1 But yeah, there is something, there's something, there's like even better levels. Like if you have to overcome something, yeah, that makes that even

Speaker 1 even better right um you know for example

Speaker 1 yeah that come from behind come from behind win is even you know nothing makes you feel better than that or that win where you did it in an opposing stadium you know and you you feel like you you know your your team walked in there and uh

Speaker 1 you know the fans were against you, you know, and it was just you overcame that.

Speaker 1 Some tough environments that there's just no better feeling than coming out of a

Speaker 1 with a wind in a place like that.

Speaker 1 And then if you can throw the elements in, you know, there's some like, you know, real, real cold or real

Speaker 1 hot or,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 some rain coming down sideways and you feel like you overcame the elements as well.

Speaker 1 You know, yeah, to overcome an opponent, overcome them in their stadium and to overcome them in their stadium with the elements, then I would say, yeah, there's nothing that would make you feel more like a man than that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Beat the weather.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All three, you know, beat them all. It's great to see you back in the NFL.
I wanted to ask you, though, like, how hard was that decision to go come back to the NFL?

Speaker 1 Leaving Michigan, you went there, you proved everything you set out to prove. Took a while, but you did it.
Beat Ohio State three years in a row, national title. But was it tough?

Speaker 1 Because that is, I assume, your dream job. But to then be like, I got to leave this and come back to the NFL.
Was that a tough decision? Yeah, it was. I mean, I mean, I

Speaker 1 loved these guys. You know, I mean, this was,

Speaker 1 you know, all the, all the players there, all the, all the guys that recruited the coaches,

Speaker 1 you know, just everybody. I mean, it's like, love you guys.
And,

Speaker 1 you know, there's, there's another thing where, okay,

Speaker 1 here's, here's a challenge, you know. Here's somebody that, you know, likes what you do and how you do it and presenting you you with this challenge.
And

Speaker 1 whether it's a blessing or a curse, I mean,

Speaker 1 that's

Speaker 1 kind of always what's been in me is like, yeah,

Speaker 1 let me see if I'm up to that.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 so

Speaker 1 that was the overarching.

Speaker 1 I would say no.

Speaker 1 There's only so many sans left in the hourglass, you know? So,

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 I want to shot at that. I want to see if

Speaker 1 we can stand up to that. And

Speaker 1 so, yeah,

Speaker 1 it's been hard, you know.

Speaker 1 Man,

Speaker 1 this is my

Speaker 1 two great loves that I have in my life is my family at home, you know, and my family at work. And

Speaker 1 there was that Michigan family.

Speaker 1 And also my dad lived right next door to me in Ann Arbor. And maybe the toughest thing of all, you know,

Speaker 1 has been that,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 they haven't moved out here. Right.
And hopefully they will. Mom and dad, I hope you please, please.
I need you living next door to us here

Speaker 1 in Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 But I got to say,

Speaker 1 this family I have here at work, I love these guys. I love these guys.
And

Speaker 1 that's players, that's the coaching staff we put together. I mean, just a tremendous

Speaker 1 staff.

Speaker 1 I know it. I know that.
And the entire organization, I mean, equipment room, the ownership,

Speaker 1 you know, the trainer,

Speaker 1 the doctors, the grounds crew. I mean, everybody here, John Weidmeier, Christina,

Speaker 1 Marco,

Speaker 1 on and on and on.

Speaker 1 And I finally put my finger on it, which is, why do I love these? Why do I love these? Everybody here

Speaker 1 so much, so fast.

Speaker 1 And it's, if I had to say one thing, it's just that everybody here treats their job like it's the most important job in the entire organization. And,

Speaker 1 you know, they are just, you know, double check it, triple check it.

Speaker 1 You know, they just, they just, they want to be, they want to be so good

Speaker 1 that,

Speaker 1 you know, I just love that everybody, players and all, are doing everything,

Speaker 1 anything and everything in their power to try to make this team win and be successful. Yeah, I love that.
I love these guys.

Speaker 1 And now, one thing you didn't mention, which I would assume was part of it, is

Speaker 1 your brother has a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Did that get in your head a little? Like, I got to go get a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think people, you know, like

Speaker 1 would automatically think that. I think it's been said.
And yeah, you know,

Speaker 1 that's part of it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We know you. We know you.

Speaker 1 It's got to be a living part.

Speaker 1 I'm not denying that. Yeah.
I mean,

Speaker 1 but

Speaker 1 yeah, I got to say that,

Speaker 1 and maybe, maybe. But,

Speaker 1 you know, I know everybody says you got to do one thing first. You got to make the first birdie before you can, you know, do anything else.
But

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 it's so good here.

Speaker 1 This entire organization, the Hispanos family.

Speaker 1 Joe Hortiz, my brother said I would love Joe. That's what he said.
Oh, you're going to love Joe. You're going to love working with Joe.

Speaker 1 He undersold it. He undersold it.

Speaker 1 He's one of the best evaluators in the game. I don't think there's anybody better after going through this offseason and draft with Joe Orti.
And

Speaker 1 he is who he is every day. And

Speaker 1 he pulls the best out of people.

Speaker 1 It's just, it's just been spectacular. He could, those draft meetings we had, I mean, there could be like a TED talk of, you know, just the leadership style that he has.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 he's a normal guy. He's a football guy.

Speaker 1 He's a grit weak guy. You know,

Speaker 1 so my brother, he did say I'd love him. Maybe there's,

Speaker 1 to me, it's like he still undersold it. You know, I mean, how much I'm going to love Joe Hortiz.
So, you know, that's been amazing. Just everything's amazing.
If, if,

Speaker 1 if it goes good, it's got to be because. Because there's everything is in place and the players that we have.
And we can start talking about those guys too.

Speaker 1 And if it goes bad, it'd be because I'm a bad manager. But yeah, we're chipping away at it and getting after it every day.
Listen, I wanted you, I was very publicly wanting you to coach the Bears.

Speaker 1 I was reading it back.

Speaker 1 I sent you, I made you a video, a hype video, trying to be like, hey, maybe I can get some kind of old flame going in Coach Harbaugh's heart where he's like, I got to go back to Chicago.

Speaker 1 Your response was the nicest, like, I don't care about this video ever. Can I read it to you? It was the nicest ever.
You wrote back, I sent you the video

Speaker 1 of you, old highlights, you in a Bears uniform, all this stuff. And you said, thanks.
Cool. All glory to God.
Sure, do value our football and family relationships and good times. Cherish them.

Speaker 1 Thanks for caring and supporting. There are enough doubters and haters in the world.
Much respect and gratitude for you and yours. That was the nicest I don't care about this video.
That's not at all.

Speaker 1 That's not at all.

Speaker 1 No, I appreciate you both. I mean, big cat, PFT commentator.

Speaker 1 I mean, there are, there's so many, there's so many young people, and I don't know everything you do and say um

Speaker 1 but what i do know is like people there's a there's like a whole young generation of people that like uh oh you're a football guy you're you're a football guy you know we know you and you know i go and i like i asked a couple of like you know like

Speaker 1 do you know me i mean

Speaker 1 what do you well we watch you know we watch big cat and pft comic so i appreciate i appreciate uh you are an ultimate football guy all the wonder all the wonderful things you said about

Speaker 1 our family.

Speaker 1 So I meant every word of that.

Speaker 1 And I know my brother John feels the same way.

Speaker 1 And my dad, Jack, Jack Harbaugh, who's doing great. I mean, move to New Jersey.
New to LA, Jack.

Speaker 1 Are you sending them

Speaker 3 links to houses? Are you looking at real estate? And you're like, hey, look at this basement. This one's got a pool.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you know, it's a great question. I mean, it's just

Speaker 1 with the, with the, with the, you know, there's a, there's, there's strategy. I'm always thinking

Speaker 1 of the way to do this. Now,

Speaker 1 when I went from San Francisco to Michigan,

Speaker 1 one of the last things I said, Dad,

Speaker 1 what do you think I should do here? What do you think I should do? And he thinks, I think you should go back to Michigan and coach Michigan. And I said, okay.

Speaker 1 Well, if I do that, you're going to come, right? You're going to come to Ann Arbor and

Speaker 1 you're going to help me coach.

Speaker 1 And he said, the the last thing he said is that he would and uh and i i got him you know i got him saying that and then it took a full 12 months before he actually did you know um

Speaker 1 so i'm hopeful i'm hopeful that uh you know that that that we'll find a way here in a year and uh yeah i'll do anything i'll you know just buy a house next to next to my house like that

Speaker 1 you got this new facility just get him a house in the facility just get a whole you know find a little apartment find a role for him here yeah like special special advisor it sounds like i it's a really cool relationship that you have with them and it's awesome and my mom it's my mom too i mean my mom's the greatest ever um

Speaker 1 and you know between my mom and my dad um yeah just and the relationship they have with our kids i mean uh there was there's so many times i mean living right next door to their grandparents.

Speaker 1 I mean, my kids would, would be down there. And,

Speaker 1 you know, my dad would take take kids to school.

Speaker 1 He would go to their games.

Speaker 1 You know, the conversations, you know, driving, you know, my son, Jack, to his baseball games, me and my dad watching baseball games.

Speaker 1 Like we were at the church of baseball, you know, in the summer time

Speaker 1 watching games on Sunday.

Speaker 1 I mean, that was just

Speaker 1 priceless. I mean, I just got to the point where, you know, I'm taping

Speaker 1 those conversations. That's my favorite part, is the ride to the game and the ride back.

Speaker 1 Just

Speaker 1 talking to Jack or to Addie or to Katie or to Johnny.

Speaker 1 I love those conversations. I really don't even care that much what happens during the game.
I mean, the best time for me is the ride to and the ride back. And my dad would be right there.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You know, so often it was just the three of us doing that.
It's just, it's priceless.

Speaker 1 It's completely priceless.

Speaker 3 Unless you catch a foul ball at the game. That's probably better, right?

Speaker 1 That's good, too. Are you still wearing a glove?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 You've got to wear a glove when you go to MLB. Yeah, yeah.
I always wear a glove. I mean, that's like

Speaker 1 your chances improve dramatically if you have a glove at a baseball game. There's no question about it.

Speaker 3 Success is when preparation meets opportunity, right?

Speaker 1 I just got to change. I mean, it's just, I've only gotten one foul ball.
I've got 22 career.

Speaker 1 foul balls like legitimately in a game a foul ball a home run but it happened like during the game not batting practice before I don't count those.

Speaker 1 And I really probably, I've only gotten one in the last 10 years. Oh, some people are saying you've fallen off.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I've done it to myself, really. I mean, I get, I've gone to a lot of games.
Bob Melvin's a really good friend of mine, played on the same,

Speaker 1 you know, team.

Speaker 1 What's American Legion team when we were in high school? He was a couple years older, but and he was the star player and I wasn't. But

Speaker 1 anyway, he's been great to me. And I just went to the Angels game.
I mean, they were great to me. You know, Padres, I know some people there.
They get me, the tickets they get me are too good.

Speaker 1 They're too good. Yeah.
They're in a spot where you just, I mean, your percentage of getting a foul ball is, I mean, he would have to like, he would like have to be. And the Nets now.
Yeah. The Nets.

Speaker 1 He would have to hit off and then bounce back. So you got to ask for worse tickets.
I got to get worse tickets. I got to like left fields.
You You got to be on the ball.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm in a suite and the only chance I got is if the ball were to come through the suite, you know, just over,

Speaker 1 just over. Are you bringing it up to the suite? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm ready. I'm ready.
But I mean, I'm just not, I'm not putting myself in position to be in position. Yeah, we got to get that.
We got to get that fixed.

Speaker 1 22 and then only one in the last 10 years. That's falling off.

Speaker 1 I got to get to some better. I got to get to some better spot.

Speaker 3 When you said that you tape your conversation, were you being literal?

Speaker 1 do you record your conversations that you have with your family yeah yeah and i don't even i mean i don't even listen to them right afterwards but i'm just keeping them i'm just keeping them start doing that yeah i'd say just i just want them for you know for you know maybe you know just some some time down the down the road that those those those rides to the car listening to them talk about the game or uh you know what they were doing or the excitement of you know like uh that they had it's the best yeah and i always got to get my i now I got to call my dad and I got, you know, to be taping it, taping it, and

Speaker 1 which is I can do because it

Speaker 1 comes through the car. Yeah.
But yeah, that was just, that's just priceless. Those are, that's, that's just priceless moments.
And

Speaker 1 my mom, too. She's, I mean, she's just, they just give this wisdom and

Speaker 1 stuff

Speaker 1 that if. Yeah, if I don't write it down, I'm going to forget it.
But

Speaker 1 my mom actually has given me the best advice I've ever gotten as a player or a coach. And that is, you know, it's one play at a time, one game at a time, one day at a time.

Speaker 1 And she texts me that every, before every single game, like the morning of every game. I mean, I need that text.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's

Speaker 1 one play at a time, one game at a time, one day at a time. Yeah.
So a football question here.

Speaker 3 Obviously, it's new.

Speaker 3 You guys just got started not too long ago here in L.A., but is there anything that's changed, anything big that's changed in the NFL from the way that you did business back on the Niners compared to now?

Speaker 1 That's a great question. I've been asked it a few times

Speaker 1 by

Speaker 1 lots of people.

Speaker 1 From the time I played or time I coached at the Niners to now, I would say probably the biggest change is

Speaker 1 2013, 14. I didn't think the NFL could get any bigger than it already was.
I didn't think it could be any more popular than it already was.

Speaker 1 But it's doubled.

Speaker 1 It is 2x

Speaker 1 at least in popularity. And, you know, you can see in what

Speaker 1 the salary cap is twice as much.

Speaker 1 And just the popularity of the game of football. I mean,

Speaker 1 it's awesome. And right around that time, too, just the perception of football, too, and the fun that everybody has and the popularity.
I saw it firsthand.

Speaker 1 And back then,

Speaker 1 football had a little bit of a, I mean, had a bit of a crisis back then, you know, with, you know, is it too dangerous? Is it too much of a sport that

Speaker 1 a mother wouldn't want their

Speaker 1 son to play? And, you know, and then I went into the college ranks in 2015, and I saw, you know, just growing from there. And everywhere I went around the country, it's like, well,

Speaker 1 football is popular. It's never been that popular.
You know, it's like, and it was, it just,

Speaker 1 And a lot of the rule changes have been good. I mean,

Speaker 1 it's definitely a safer game.

Speaker 1 The horse collars out, the blows to the head. I mean, some of these rules of engagement

Speaker 1 are so good and so much better. And, you know, player safety is the most important thing.
But I just see it

Speaker 1 coming back. And they're doing all the right things.
And,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 Commissioner Goodell has done a fabulous job.

Speaker 1 Brian Rolap, I don't know if you know him. He's another great, great guy at the NFL.

Speaker 1 You know, very high up. I had a chance to coach his son Will at Michigan.
And, I mean, there's just fabulous people that have made this league

Speaker 1 and everybody's made it. And, you know, the players, there's no question they're bigger, stronger.

Speaker 1 faster, smarter. No question about that.

Speaker 1 You know, we, us older players, guys who played a long time ago, we still maybe say, Are they tougher? Are they tougher? I don't know. I have no, you know, it's all subjective.
Yeah. You know,

Speaker 1 we probably aren't as tough as these guys are because they're, you know, they're just so much more harder to break, you know, because the way they train. Yeah, you know, and Coach Herbert

Speaker 1 and others, you know, this, and just, just their, you know, passion and love and desire for the game is, is, is at an all-time high as well.

Speaker 1 I'll tell you a quick story. Zion Johnson, who is our starting left guard, he had a root canal

Speaker 1 at 2 o'clock. I think it got done at like 2, 2.30, you know,

Speaker 1 and was out to practice, practice, you know, didn't miss a rep.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 1 we did conditioning at the end. You know, we say, hey, if you're in elite condition, go on this sideline A.
If you're in good condition, you know, go on sideline B.

Speaker 1 If you're in average condition, you know, go on sideline C.

Speaker 1 And he went to A and

Speaker 1 led the group, led the offensive, excuse me, led the offensive lineman.

Speaker 1 It's just like, okay, who would have done that? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, most normal human beings probably would have taken a week off

Speaker 1 who weren't

Speaker 1 a year. Most football players, you know, most all football players would have at least taken a couple of days

Speaker 1 of your root it out. Yeah.
And

Speaker 1 just about all would have at least taken that practice off, you know,

Speaker 1 an hour or so after. So, I mean, I can't even say that we were tougher back then.

Speaker 1 So what's really changed?

Speaker 1 And the equipment's changed. And the equipment is much better.

Speaker 1 But I think, you know, still the

Speaker 1 still the same is

Speaker 1 the

Speaker 1 work ethic and, you know, the passion to be good and, you know, get really good at what you do. Get good at football.
Get good at your craft. So a couple of things have changed, but I think

Speaker 1 more things are the same.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you left that one small detail about, you know, the game has grown so much since like 2015, 2016. A little podcast called Part of My Take started in 2016.

Speaker 1 Came on the scene. We have the mission to grow the game.

Speaker 1 How much did that rise?

Speaker 1 Rogers got the counter.

Speaker 3 We always say grow the game. That's the big thing for us.
So, yeah, Goodell.

Speaker 1 Well, take a deep breath about.

Speaker 1 I believe that.

Speaker 1 there's no doubt i mean no we're on the next play we're on the next play you guys are that's good yeah yeah yeah we don't but sometimes you know hey you can't say it but allow me to say it yeah there's no question about it there's uh you know yeah like i said i mean all of a sudden i got you know like got uh got kind of got kind of popular with

Speaker 1 you know people in their you know late teens or 20s and and uh football guy yeah no one knew what football was until part of my text that's exactly right well i i i can personally vouch for you because I asked like several people and players, my own players were like starting to look at me like I was cool.

Speaker 1 I started calling myself cool Jim. Like these guys think

Speaker 1 cool Jim. Cool Jim.
You're cool Jim now. And I, in big part to you, too.
We appreciate that. I appreciate that.
I appreciate. I appreciate you.
Yeah, I love that. So what about the new kickoff rule?

Speaker 1 Are you ready for it? Now, your camera player, Sam Schwartzstein, was the one who came up with this idea with the XFL. Sam.
My man. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He created a creative mind. Sam actually sent me, I asked him because, you know, we've known Sam for a really long time.

Speaker 1 And I think he actually helped us the first time we had you on back in Michigan in 2017. Yeah.
So I asked him if he had any training camp

Speaker 1 stories. He said that you have three rules.
I don't know if you still have these three rules for training camp. So you can tell me.

Speaker 1 He said the first rule was no cupcaking, which is talking with your girl on the phone during bed check.

Speaker 1 Number two is never cut the chow line. And number three is never bare ass another man's stool.

Speaker 1 Those are three rules still in existence. Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, yeah, that's a rule.
We had to make that a rule. Yeah, never bare ass another man's stool.

Speaker 1 No, no.

Speaker 1 He also said that you, you once told him that you. You know what's amazing? The amazing about that is

Speaker 1 that The guys are listening. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That Sam remembers that. Yeah, oh, yeah.
That's cool. He told us.
Because sometimes you talk to him and they're like,

Speaker 1 Are they even listening? Yeah. Are they even getting any of this stuff?

Speaker 1 He told us a great story that when you first got to Stanford, you stripped Stanford of all the traditions and everything because you're like, you guys are losers and I have to figure out what makes you losers.

Speaker 1 And then we'll build you back up.

Speaker 1 I don't ever, I don't, I, you know, I can't. Sounds like you might have, and you then built them back up.
Just trying to find the common denominator of what, what is, what is wrong with this.

Speaker 1 So we have to make

Speaker 1 it better

Speaker 1 yeah i mean just the just the traditions that weren't helping us win right uh is the ones i remember yeah

Speaker 1 how is that helping us to do that um

Speaker 1 and and one of them i mean one of them was like if they had like

Speaker 1 you know uh

Speaker 1 because i i always have this i mean there's no fighting there's a no fighting punch punching you know rule you know one it's going to get us a 15 yard penalty to ever to ever punch another man.

Speaker 1 But like, I mean, let's think about, I mean, the intelligence of punching a guy who's wearing a helmet or, you know, a face mask.

Speaker 1 I mean, you will do nothing to him other than, you know, break your, break your own hand. Yeah.
So yeah, that, that was a rule. And then, you know, the ingenious Stanford guys,

Speaker 1 you know, they decided that they were going to, since we couldn't fight, you know, and throw punches on the field, that they would take it into the locker room and they'd make a circle and they would make the two guys fight in the locker room so uh yeah i got wind of that and and uh that tradition done ceases yeah to exist yeah you know and some of the other south mork things that uh you know that weren't helping us

Speaker 1 uh

Speaker 1 yeah they we had uh yeah but that stamp that the stanford walk was another one that um

Speaker 1 Yeah, that I took off, which was, you know, kind of like right the last minute before like team warm-ups, you know, we were walking, we're walking kind of like a half a mile in full equipment. And,

Speaker 1 you know, yeah, let's not do that. Yeah.
Yeah. Let's, how about, how do we do this?

Speaker 1 We make our locker room at the stadium better, you know, and we, you know, we walk over in the, in the sweatsuit, kept the walk. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We walking by the grove there and the, you know, shaded, nice, you know, leisurely stroll instead of, you know, being in full equipment for a 15-minute walk. I think that's a better idea.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I wouldn't want to do that.

Speaker 3 No.

Speaker 1 And the other one I think had changed too was

Speaker 1 we were playing UCLA, my first game ever at Stanford, and

Speaker 1 we're on the visitor sideline,

Speaker 1 staring right into the sun. It was at least, I'm looking at this going, that's about 20 degrees cooler on that other side where the press box is.

Speaker 1 And we're here in the, we're in the sun for, you know, a good solid three quarters you know until the sun goes down until we got any relief yeah so uh

Speaker 1 well we couldn't do that because you know the band had to be in the opposite side and uh

Speaker 1 and uh or some you know that was the thing so we just moved the here's what we do we just moved to the band to the other corner and yeah

Speaker 1 just get us in the shade yeah well the season ticket colders like they're gonna love having their own team on their sidelines. Yeah.
You know? So I love winning football.

Speaker 1 Yeah, those those are the traditions I

Speaker 1 remember. Some of the, some of the silly, there was some silly stuff, and then there was some just some good practical stuff to try to help us win.

Speaker 7 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 7 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 7 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, Hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 7 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 7 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 I also, I had never heard this story, and I'd love to hear your

Speaker 1 telling of it, but you created a rivalry flag against when you were at San Diego

Speaker 1 with Dayton, because we love this. This is UConn and UCF had this where Bob Diaco just created a trophy out of thin air and UCF never said like, hey, we're playing for this trophy.

Speaker 1 You kind of did the same thing with San Diego and Dayton where you just created a flag and you're like, this is what we're playing for. And the other coach was like, what? What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 That happened. Yeah.
What made you do that? What did the other coach say when you told him, like, hey, we're actually playing for

Speaker 1 We hadn't beaten Dayton in 10 years.

Speaker 1 And we were like, man,

Speaker 1 this is the team we got to beat. You know, we got to,

Speaker 1 if we want to win the championship, they're winning it every year. We better, you know, we better,

Speaker 1 you know, set our sights to get.

Speaker 1 And if we can get playing at their level, then good chance we'll be able to to beat the other ones.

Speaker 1 So that was kind of the idea. And

Speaker 1 I was just like, hey, we don't have any like trophy games. There's no trophy.
I mean, you come from the Big Ten where there's

Speaker 1 every week's trophy. Stanford.
I mean, you have the Axe.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 that was just a cool thing. So we didn't have that.
And I said, by golly,

Speaker 1 we're going to

Speaker 1 make a trophy here for the USD Dayton game. So I just, I don't know where it came from.
It's just one of those ideas came up with, let's make a flag, a big old flag that was half SD and half Dayton.

Speaker 1 So we made it and we had won the year before. So I said,

Speaker 1 hey, we made, I just told our own guys, hey, we made this trophy flag. You guys won it.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 that whole week of practice,

Speaker 1 we had the flag. I'll never remember.
I'll never remember. So cool.
Tim Drevno,

Speaker 1 who's our offensive coordinator at the time,

Speaker 1 we took our bus.

Speaker 1 to the San Diego airport and he had the great idea of he was on the curb, you know, waving the flag as we were flying commercial yeah you know at USD anyway fast forward to the game we're at Dayton now and uh

Speaker 1 you know we we had the flag like uh it was we had put it right behind our bench you know secured it with some some tape and stuff and it's flapping back there and uh yeah so we won the game and ran across and uh

Speaker 1 Hey, Mike, you know, good game. And

Speaker 1 you're probably wondering what that flag is that they're

Speaker 1 that our guy. And now our guys are out like carrying it around and doing stuff with it.
They said, I said, we made this flag out of respect for the rivalry between USD and Dayton.

Speaker 1 Since we just won this one, we'll keep it.

Speaker 1 But next year, if you guys win, then, you know, it would be. It'd be yours.

Speaker 1 Be honest. I probably should have called you about this, but

Speaker 1 then you won it again.

Speaker 1 You never gave up the flag when you were there. No, no, no.
Yeah, we won it.

Speaker 3 If you had lost that game, though, that first rivalry game with the flag, would you have given him the flag?

Speaker 1 Oh, I didn't make it until after we won a first one.

Speaker 1 Then he made it. Then you won it.
And then really use that as like motivation for the next year.

Speaker 3 But then you go to Dayton and you've got the flag. He doesn't know that you've got the flag.
If you lose it.

Speaker 1 He doesn't know I had the flag. And I guess for

Speaker 1 our own purposes, we were using it. We didn't want to motivate them to think that there was a flag.
They didn't know it was a flag game.

Speaker 1 They didn't know.

Speaker 1 This was a flag game.

Speaker 1 I would love to know where that flag is right now.

Speaker 1 Maybe you do. If somebody has that,

Speaker 1 I would buy that. What I read was Dayton won it the year after you left, and they took it, and then it never came back.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I think the two coaches after that got it. It doesn't mean anything.
No, it doesn't mean anything you know.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I think it ended up in Coach's garage. Somebody said that it was like he was.
We got to find this.

Speaker 1 I think I read an article where Mike was using it

Speaker 1 to rake leaves onto his

Speaker 1 leaf collector. Maybe

Speaker 1 somebody out there probably has this flag.

Speaker 1 I would be interested in buying that flag.

Speaker 1 Maybe we make a flag here.

Speaker 3 You got a rivalry against Kansas City.

Speaker 3 Kind of like what Dayton was doing. They've been on fire.

Speaker 1 We do flag game.

Speaker 3 We do a Chargers Chiefs flag game.

Speaker 1 Maybe we'll do it in our studio. We'll just flip it over.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you guys have done cool stuff like that. Yeah, we can make you the flag.
So, but PFT asked a good question.

Speaker 1 If you had lost that second game, would you have given them the flag they didn't even know existed? I would have, yes. Okay, that's good.
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 I would have given them that flag that they didn't know existed. I would have.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Just handed it to them. Like, here you go.
I got to tell you, I said, yeah, we made this flag. You won.
Now it's your flag. And we'll play for this.
We'll play for this every year. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I would have. I would have.
I love it. I love it.

Speaker 3 Last time we sat down and talked to you.

Speaker 1 And there's no tougher thing than having to give. Yeah.
So your rival.

Speaker 1 That feeling of giving the brown jug, you know, fortunately didn't have, well, as a player, I did

Speaker 1 when I was playing, but coaching,

Speaker 1 we didn't have to give that up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Paul Bunyan. Yep.
We had to give Michigan State that. Yep.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that time. Oh, that one day.

Speaker 1 Let's not bring it up. Let's not bring it up.
How long did it take you to? I mean, that was. I'm not fully over that.

Speaker 1 I'm not fully over that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we got a punt block with 10 seconds left in the game it's left an indelible insane bruise there yeah that was i mean

Speaker 1 one of the i mean top five worst things that's ever happened to me in my life you know it's good life

Speaker 1 that's top five

Speaker 1 top five yeah but yeah it led to some you know yeah it led to uh yeah limiting that eliminating that that pro that uh college punt you know that spread punt yeah Yeah, that looks like I have to do that.

Speaker 1 How are they going to block this? We're not going to do this spread punt ever again.

Speaker 1 We're going to back good old-fashioned

Speaker 1 pro-style punting from here on out. Yes.

Speaker 1 And yeah,

Speaker 1 punter's got to be at 14 yards. He can't be at 16 yards.
You can tell this one bothers you. Yeah.
I mean, you think of all the,

Speaker 1 yeah, I play that scenario out quite a bit.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but it helps you get better.

Speaker 1 You evolve.

Speaker 3 One thing you evolved on was you used to be anti-chicken. Yeah,

Speaker 3 because it was a nervous little bird. And when I heard you talk about it, I was like, you know what? He's right.

Speaker 3 You are what you eat, right? So you gain the energy of the animal. If it's a nervous bird, that's going to be bad for my fast twitch muscles.
But then you change your tune on it.

Speaker 1 Change back, yeah.

Speaker 3 Because you admire, you respect chickens now, right?

Speaker 1 Correct.

Speaker 3 So, what flipped the switch for you?

Speaker 1 Getting chickens, raising chickens from chicks and

Speaker 1 the respect I have for chickens. I mean, I really,

Speaker 1 the,

Speaker 1 I mean, I almost put, I mean, you probably got to put bees a little bit

Speaker 1 above chickens. Yeah.
But, I mean,

Speaker 1 they're in the same

Speaker 1 ballparks, huh? Why bees above chickens? Because they pollinate,

Speaker 1 what, 80% of the world's food? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Anyway, people are going to look at this and go,

Speaker 1 this guy's weird or something. No, no.
No, but here's the the whole, the entire thing was Brian Jennings, who I love dearly.

Speaker 1 He was our long snapper at the San Francisco 49ers. And

Speaker 1 he was one of those players I just had to talk to every day, got to be around and just

Speaker 1 get his insights on life and things. And

Speaker 1 he had this great breakfast that he would eat. And it was just, it was steak on toast.

Speaker 1 And, you know, protein and getting his carbohydrates. And it really tasted good.
And I started, you know, doing it that way. And then one day

Speaker 1 I had chicken, I was eating a chicken, something, chicken sandwich or something like that. And

Speaker 1 he goes, yeah, you really shouldn't eat chicken. And then he was the one who explained to me that

Speaker 1 chickens were a nervous bird and it was part of their

Speaker 1 immune system and their nervous system was just, you know, you could probably make that case, you know, with the pecking and

Speaker 1 things. But

Speaker 1 and I, yeah, I kind of maintained that, you know, chicken's a nervous bird, you know, and kind of really bought into what Brian was saying. He had this whole like

Speaker 1 thing documented how, you know,

Speaker 1 when the United States went from meat eaters, you know, meat consumption mainly to a higher rate of chicken consumption that,

Speaker 1 you know, nervousness went up, you know.

Speaker 1 You would have to get to Brian Cheney.

Speaker 3 We got to talk about correlation and causation just a little bit.

Speaker 1 Get with Brian, maybe, and maybe he can explain it.

Speaker 1 But I bought into it up until the point where it was the pandemic, it was Easter, and I went to Tractor Supply, got eight chicks, you know, right in the box, and we raised them.

Speaker 1 And the kids loved them for about a month. And then after that, it was me exclusively taking care of them.
And yeah, just

Speaker 1 the production that they have. i mean it is an egg every 26 hours you know and uh you know they're they're

Speaker 1 they're they're low maintenance i mean they're not high maintenance i mean that's it's low maintenance and high production with the chicken and and there were some times in there you know where uh

Speaker 1 you know i i actually felt like the chickens liked me and liked seeing me and uh and i i went to a lot of you know to make their life you know better and kept their kept their kept their pen pen

Speaker 1 good yeah and uh yeah enjoyed uh

Speaker 1 enjoyed working uh with them with the chickens and uh yeah it was a huge it was a huge relief for us because we kind of got a chicken again yeah and because we stopped eating chicken when you told us not to eat chicken back

Speaker 1 i was wrong i i think i was i was dead wrong i like that yeah i was dead wrong you evolved so what are you on now what's what's the latest thing that you're fascinated by or uh something that you're you think you're ahead of the curve with an insight into life or nature I just like living that strenuous life of like you know you just always trying to think and always trying to trying to have an idea or work or you know just feel like you you know you just you just got to go and you know I love being on my feet love

Speaker 1 love doing stuff you know I mean I'm

Speaker 1 love thinking of something then doing it

Speaker 1 yeah I mean

Speaker 1 we'll see I'll let you know if something works or if it doesn't but uh yeah I just I don't know just just that feeling that uh you know you just gotta you can't slow down and you know in a moment's notice you know something something could change um

Speaker 1 so just kind of keep going about it that way are we still watching spongebob and respecting everything spongebob does yeah not as much not as much because you know my youngest guy yeah my youngest guy is uh you know he he's um He's more on the

Speaker 1 he's evolved more to the YouTube and

Speaker 1 the different daredevil things that are on that. Are we worried about that? Did he scream in the up?

Speaker 1 What the? Are we worried his work ethics is going to be a little off that he doesn't have SpongeBob as someone he can look up to? Because

Speaker 1 you told us when we, I think it was maybe the second time you're on that SpongeBob, like he's a, he's a, someone's a hero.

Speaker 1 There's no doubt about it. I mean, um, when you talk about attacking each day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind, yeah, that's, that's, that's SpongeBob.

Speaker 1 And it's it's a it's a it's unknown to mankind. You know, it's not of mankind.
It's you know, that's sponge. It's yeah,

Speaker 1 somebody, I mean, I'm, yeah,

Speaker 1 I think that enthusiasm comes from, you know, from God.

Speaker 1 It's like that Jesus juice, you know, and I just, I had that, that, you know, something you'd get in a good sermon, you know, where you feel it, really feel it, you know, and I, and I feel it

Speaker 1 in a good sermon at church.

Speaker 1 But also from football, I get that kind of, that kind of juice, you know, that kind of, that love of the game

Speaker 1 is football as well. Like training camp being back, like just the pads being on, is that something that like the first day where you're like, man, this is where I should be.

Speaker 1 This is the feeling that I need. Yeah, yeah, without a doubt.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I always get that feeling, you know, and it's...

Speaker 1 As a player, I got it.

Speaker 1 And it's not as good as a coach, you know, that,

Speaker 1 but it's the next best thing, you know, but I get it as a coach. Yeah.
I mean,

Speaker 1 and I,

Speaker 1 I don't know. I just, some people say it's like, it's not worth defining you.
And, you know, it's, it shouldn't be.

Speaker 1 I understand that, that, that difference, you know, that case, but I, I actually like myself better, you know, when I'm, you know, like, when I played, you know, like you put on that armor, you put on that helmet, you put on that jersey, you know, you look in the mirror and go,

Speaker 1 Jim Harbaugh, football player, you know, like, you know, today's the day. I mean, great things are, great things are going to happen.
You know, somebody says, have a nice day.

Speaker 1 And I say, well, that seems a little risky. I think I'm just going to make it a, you know, great day.
Yeah. You know, or take the try out of it.

Speaker 1 And, you know, and I, when I put on that, when I put on that, that, uh, that uniform, I mean, it felt like putting on a, you know, Superman, you know, kind of a, kind of a

Speaker 1 cape,

Speaker 1 you know if you will so and i i still get some of that from coat you know from coaching you know put on my outfit and my hat and you know get my whistle and

Speaker 1 coaching football today yeah i mean gotta you gotta rise to that you gotta you know rise to that challenge we had a debate uh when we were watching you in the national title game uh seeing how jacked up you were on the sideline before the game yeah we thought that if they had if the nca allowed it you could have put on pads and probably played that whole game.

Speaker 1 Do you think you could have gotten out there and been like, you know what, I'm just going to quarterback today. I'm ready to go.
Now, now, and even the feeling of like winning that game,

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 it was so good, but

Speaker 1 it's long past being for myself.

Speaker 1 It's like.

Speaker 1 I can see J.J. McCarthy or Blake Coram

Speaker 1 or any one of those players.

Speaker 1 This is their opportunity to be a champion, to go undefeated

Speaker 1 for them to know that, and for their mom and dad, you know, for Jim and Megan McCarthy to know that their son is a champion, for each of those parents, uncles, grandparents, like that they get to feel that joy of

Speaker 1 their son or their grandson or their friend,

Speaker 1 whatever it is, and for themselves to know, like, you did that. Yeah.
Pull it down or pull it in, but you did that. And

Speaker 1 that's where all the joy, that's where all the joy comes from

Speaker 1 is them experiencing that.

Speaker 3 Yeah, and that game was an ass kicking.

Speaker 3 That was a beautiful thing to watch. At what point in the game did you realize they're not stopping us?

Speaker 1 I mean, that's my goal. My goal is that

Speaker 1 we get ahead, we stay ahead,

Speaker 1 we get so far ahead that I can't screw it up. And

Speaker 1 I guess when Mikey, yeah, when Mikey Samersville, you know, picked off that pass and then, and returned it, you know, 50 yards. Yeah.
Hey,

Speaker 1 we're going to win this if we don't screw up this. Yeah.

Speaker 1 If we don't give a kickoff return here, you know, and that kind of thing.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, I guess

Speaker 1 you never really feel that until

Speaker 1 your team has taken a knee in victory, you know.

Speaker 1 But I don't know.

Speaker 1 Somewhere along the line, I felt it. And, you know,

Speaker 1 that's one of those feelings, you know, that it's not going to wash off in the shower.

Speaker 1 That stays with you. That stays with you.
And it was crazy. Washing Michigan this year.
It was just like the

Speaker 1 tackling, the physicality, the running the football. It was just, it felt like it was a perfect team built in your mold.

Speaker 1 Like, even we were talking to Coach Herbert about, you know, the Penn State game, which I know you were watching on TV, but like, you know, running the football down their throat and being like, you can't stop this.

Speaker 1 We're going to keep running it had to have felt like everything I've wanted in a football team.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, this is the only part that I'm uncomfortable with is like that team was in my mold or something like that. I mean, these guys were so much better than

Speaker 1 I was

Speaker 1 and so much,

Speaker 1 so much more connected, you know, than just about any team I'd ever been on.

Speaker 1 So unselfish, you know, I mean, you talk about adversity. I mean,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 they overcame it at every point. I I mean, it got to the point where, you know,

Speaker 1 it was white noise, you know, and then it

Speaker 1 to the point where you couldn't even hear it, you know.

Speaker 1 And that

Speaker 1 all came from their parents and their families that had poured all that into them. And it came from them, you know, who they, who the, who they were.
And they just kept kept getting better at.

Speaker 1 at being them, you know, and they never got a big head.

Speaker 1 And it was, it was, it was tremendous. And

Speaker 1 to the extent of the other thing people say is like, oh, you've won everywhere you've been or this and that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 It's only because you have good players. I mean, there is no good coaches with bad players.
I mean, it's all about the players.

Speaker 1 And, you know, I learned that from Dave Adolph when I was a young coach, the great Dave Adolph.

Speaker 1 When I put up a rush, Mount Rushmore of, you know, coaches, I mean, if I'm going to the very tip top, top, I mean, it's Jack Harbaugh, it's John Harbaugh, it's Dave Adolph, Bo Shem Beckler.

Speaker 1 I mean, those four are

Speaker 1 right at the very top. And he said that.
I said, Dave, how do we make this team USD?

Speaker 1 How do we get better?

Speaker 1 He goes, you got to get better players.

Speaker 1 And he said,

Speaker 1 there's only two ways to do that. I mean, you got to coach them better or you got to recruit better players.
You know, pro football, you got to

Speaker 1 coach them better or, you know, we got to, you got to, you know, you got to acquire players

Speaker 1 through the draft, et cetera. It's just,

Speaker 1 but yeah,

Speaker 1 there's no,

Speaker 1 there's no, you can't be a good coach without, without great players. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I noticed you left Tom Crean off your Mount Rushmore of coaches.

Speaker 1 Tom Crean is

Speaker 1 right there. He is there.
He is for us too, yes. Yes.
There's no question about it. Tom Crean, Jack Harbaugh, John Harbaugh, Dave Adoff, Bo Shem Beckler.

Speaker 1 And I said those four football coaches, coaches. Now we're going to just straight coaches.

Speaker 1 Tom Crean is standing right there next to those four

Speaker 1 great coaches that I met, huh? He would look great on Mount Rush, Tom Crean. Yes.
Yes. Got a good tan.

Speaker 3 And we'll put you on there, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you can be on there.

Speaker 3 Because you can't be far away from your dad or your brother.

Speaker 1 Well, you got to win a Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Hurt a little.

Speaker 1 It's good. It motivates me.

Speaker 1 There's more you got to do. There's more you got to do.
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 You got them on Thanksgiving week this week, this year, right?

Speaker 1 What's that? Thanksgiving week this year.

Speaker 3 I think Monday Night Football before Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 November 25th.

Speaker 3 You know the date. Exactly.

Speaker 1 Yes. Absolutely know the date.
And there's a little backstory why I know that date so well because that's going to be my parents' 63rd wedding anniversary. Oh, wow.
That was me by the NFL. 63.

Speaker 1 No, I think it's great by by the NFL. It's just,

Speaker 1 they're so good at stuff like that.

Speaker 1 The last time John and I played a regular season game was 2011. It was a Thursday night game.
It was on Thanksgiving, and the date was November 25th.

Speaker 3 They know what they're doing.

Speaker 1 They know what they're doing. They know what they're doing.

Speaker 1 It's all there. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Are mom and dad going to be at the game?

Speaker 1 Yeah, they'll be at the game. You have to be.
God willing, and the creek don't rise. Yeah.
Jack and Jackie Harbaugh will be there. Yeah.
That's great. I got a couple

Speaker 1 factor fiction real quick, rapid fire, because you didn't speak to the media in Indianapolis for the Combine, but you had so many players at the Combine.

Speaker 1 So there was a story I read where they asked players for stories about you as a coach.

Speaker 1 Did you ever get a haircut during a recruiting visit in the players' living room? Yes. Samaj Morgan's house.

Speaker 1 No, wait. No, Brady McGregor's.
Brady McGregor's house. His mom was a hairstylist, and you just were like, hey, I needed,

Speaker 1 what happened there?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I got a haircut. I needed one.
I needed one. I've been on the recruiting trail for...
I'm sorry about that. Yeah,

Speaker 1 that was Brayden's mom. And yeah, it was a great haircut.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 There also was a story from Michael Barrett that. Brayden also got me the tattoo.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 He didn't do it, but his guy did. Yeah, that you were on the recruiting trail and hungry, and you went to Michael Barrett's house, and you ate an entire pizza yourself.

Speaker 1 I might have been pretty hungry. I mean,

Speaker 1 that might have happened. Yeah, okay.
And then the last one was

Speaker 1 Josh Wallace said that he came in one day and you were in the ice tub, full khakis and polo.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that

Speaker 1 these are great stories.

Speaker 1 I don't see the problem with it. No, I don't see the problem with it.
You just finish your workout, get in the ice bath. Yeah.
Yeah. I love it.
Man, these are, I mean, these are

Speaker 1 they're they're they're almost like I mean, they're like athletic pants. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Are you getting away from the khakis or would the khakis be? Just the cushions? I mean, just the color. I just wanted to change it up sometimes and not be, you know.

Speaker 1 What's going to happen when the regular season is? They're the same pant as the khaki. Okay.
But I just. But is this going to be the color during the regular season? I've gone darker.
Lately, yeah,

Speaker 1 it's the new me. These are things we need to know before, because these are important things.
I've gone darker the last three years. The last three years I've gone to the blue, the blue.

Speaker 1 I mean, they're still khakis. That's true.
But they're just the colors. It's the the colors different.
That's your big change. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, you don't want to get like, you don't want to get stale. Yeah.
Yeah. You got to change your khaki color.
You don't want to be like, I don't mind.

Speaker 1 You don't want to be like burnt meat or overripe fruit. Yeah, then people expect it.
And then you got to change it up because then they'll start game planning for the khakis.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you got to change it up. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 I don't mind you wearing them in the cold tub either. You're going to wash them at the end of the day.
Right. Like those pants, they've outlived their usefulness for that day.

Speaker 3 Might as well just get them wet right then.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 1 I don't see the problem. Yeah, I don't see the at all.
There's no problem. Yeah, we're pretty good at the, I mean, yeah.

Speaker 3 I've loved how you're you're discussing players and the health concerns with the media because you've got a phrase that you go back to. They're working through something, which I think is a very,

Speaker 3 you can use that for anything. So I'm just going to start saying that about myself.
Yeah, we're all working through something, right?

Speaker 3 Because it's like a game of poker that you have to play sometimes where you don't want to give up too much to the media.

Speaker 3 But if you say we're working through something, then they're working through something.

Speaker 1 It's just a matter of I'm not qualified. I'm not qualified to say anything more than they're working through something.
I mean, there's,

Speaker 1 I don't have a medical degree.

Speaker 1 I mean, look at my, I look at my office and there's, there's a lot of stuff in it and some, some things I've accomplished, but I mean, there is no, there's no medical degree in there.

Speaker 1 I mean, I didn't even take, I didn't even take human, you know, I didn't take biology or any of those in college either. I mean, it's just, it just,

Speaker 1 I don't think I'm even qualified to relay

Speaker 1 what the doctors say, I mean,

Speaker 1 or the trainers say.

Speaker 1 It's just a question of what you're qualified to do. And

Speaker 1 I'm not qualified on that. Yeah.
Yeah, that's HIPAA.

Speaker 3 You can't discuss the medicine. That's what I would say.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Excuse the law. Yeah, I mean, I mean,

Speaker 1 is or isn't? I mean, we're going to, I mean, definitely comply with all the, I mean,

Speaker 1 it's pretty transparent when it comes to the games. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But But no, it's just a matter of

Speaker 1 how is he feeling? How's Big Cat feeling today? Working through something. Well, I'm not qualified to

Speaker 1 search his feelings either. I'm always working through something.

Speaker 1 Big Cat's working through something.

Speaker 1 That's really actually the report. The way I look at it, that's all I'm really qualified to.

Speaker 1 All right, so this has been unbelievable.

Speaker 1 We love having you on. I had one last question.
It's the Chevy.com question for Grit Week. Chevy Silverado, best truck out there.
So, my last question for you is: you've told us

Speaker 1 when we first interviewed you, all you cared about was I want to play football for as long as I can play football, then coach football, then die. Has there been any change in that?

Speaker 1 Or is it the same of... No, still on track.
Still on track. You just want to coach football, then die.
God willing.

Speaker 1 The creek don't rise. You know, we're on track.
That's it. It's just the love.

Speaker 1 That's, I think, like, because you are, for us, one of the ultimate football guys for that quote and for everything you do for the game of football. But it's, football means that much to you.

Speaker 1 Love it. Love football.

Speaker 1 And I thought it was really cool this week, Tony Jefferson, who's who's

Speaker 1 who's played for the Ravens, played for my brother John, and he, and now he's, he's playing here. And somebody asked him the same question, like, you know, what's the difference in him?

Speaker 1 And, and, and a lot of people go to like whatever they go to, you know,

Speaker 1 whatever their perception is. But

Speaker 1 I really like what Tony said. I mean, Tony said, you know, they both love football.
And, you know, that's, that's,

Speaker 1 I think it's really accurate and

Speaker 1 true. And, yeah, that meant that meant a lot.
I think, I think, you know, that's somebody who's seen both of us. And I know my brother loves football.
Yeah. And, yeah,

Speaker 1 it was a very nice compliment

Speaker 1 for him to say that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And, Coach, we got to ask you about the RV because we drove up here. We have an RV.
It's grit week. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 We're going to be staying in the RV.

Speaker 3 We don't have a great spot for it. I know that you had a good spot.
I don't know if you're still in the RV there or you moved out.

Speaker 3 But we're looking for a spot for the RV. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You got to have a lot of people. So it tells me recommendations.

Speaker 1 Where to put your RV? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. About 150 yards

Speaker 1 to the south is where you could go. Yeah.
Yeah. Now I was in Huntington Beach.
I was

Speaker 1 right across the street from the, from the beach and the

Speaker 1 great ocean and big blue, you know, was right there. It was, it was, it was, it was great.

Speaker 1 So I love RVing.

Speaker 1 You know, I wish I could do it more. That was a

Speaker 1 great

Speaker 1 four-month window to to be in the RV.

Speaker 1 It's a simple life.

Speaker 1 That's the best life.

Speaker 1 Right now it's not in the cards for me

Speaker 1 with

Speaker 1 still four kids at home and

Speaker 1 a full-time job. But

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 someday I think about that. That would be

Speaker 1 traveling around in an RV.

Speaker 1 I just hopped on that opportunity.

Speaker 1 And I was a big fan of the Rockford Files growing up. Jim Rockford living in the trailer

Speaker 1 at the beach in Malibu. I mean, that's the way I grew up.

Speaker 1 That was my favorite TV show.

Speaker 1 And, you know, you're just sitting there laying on your stomach in front of the TV, you know, watching the cars and

Speaker 1 the palm trees and his trailer.

Speaker 1 You know, like,

Speaker 1 yeah, someday I want to live in California. Someday I want to live in California.
And if I ever do, then I'm going to live in a trailer like Jim Rock. That's like

Speaker 3 a core memory.

Speaker 1 11-year-old Jim, you know?

Speaker 1 Well, Coach Harbaugh, best of luck. Thank you.
You know we're the biggest fans and we appreciate you anytime you come on the show and go win some football games. Amen.
Yeah. Appreciate that.
And

Speaker 1 right back at you.

Speaker 1 Right back at you. You guys,

Speaker 1 you guys are the best.

Speaker 1 Just keep doing you. Keep doing you.
It's working. And

Speaker 1 piece of advice. Want to get a little bit better at something? Just work a little bit harder at it.
And whatever you do, don't get a big head. Yeah.
That's a trap. It's a deep, dark, lonely trap.

Speaker 1 And we also, I should just say, because I don't want you to think that we're scumbags, we might have offered greedy guys don't get big hits. Yeah, no, they don't.

Speaker 1 We might have offered Coach Ben Herbert $10 million to come be the barstool sports trainer. So I just want to let you know we might try to poach him.
We're going to try to poach him.

Speaker 1 I don't have the $10 million to pay him, but we'll find a way because we want him to make us tough. Yeah, I have to counteract that somehow.

Speaker 1 I'm going to have to follow a land. I can't lose him.
I cannot lose

Speaker 1 I don't think he wants.

Speaker 1 I don't want to ever

Speaker 1 be forced. I'd do it if I absolutely had to, but I don't ever want to coach a football team without Ben Herbert being our strength coach.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't, I'll tell you, I think you're safe because I think he liked us, but I don't think he really liked us because we told him that a lot of our day is sitting on the couch eating like, you know, chicken wings and hanging out.

Speaker 1 I love Ben Herbert. Yeah.
He's the best. I love him.
He's the best. He's, I mean, all right, we'll keep him.
We'll let you keep him. We'll let you keep him.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, if I put him on Mount Rushmore, I mean, he's really

Speaker 1 college.

Speaker 1 We can't compete with that. Yeah, that's it.
Done.

Speaker 1 Tom Crean,

Speaker 1 Ben Herbert.

Speaker 1 Jack Harbaugh. The Mount Rushmore we made off.
John Harbaugh. There it is.
So that's the new Mount Rushmore. I love it.

Speaker 1 Max is running away with it. Max, you're running away with Mount Rushmore season.

Speaker 3 First time he ever ran away with it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I also just had my notes up on my phone, and Hank definitely tried to look at them.

Speaker 1 Hank, I got a question for you because we just had to switch out cameras, so we had to take a quick break, and you said the stock market is crashing. I wish maybe we knew anything about econ

Speaker 1 and we could actually know what's happening.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Hank, that's a good point. What's happening?

Speaker 6 Black Monday.

Speaker 1 But we don't, we're economically illiterate because we've never been taught.

Speaker 6 What did you say? I said

Speaker 6 Black Monday is coming.

Speaker 1 But you understand, we don't have the December. We don't have the building blocks to understand this because you never taught us.

Speaker 3 Right. What is Black Monday?

Speaker 6 It's when everyone loses all their money that they've saved up.

Speaker 3 On a Monday?

Speaker 1 Does it always have to be on a Monday?

Speaker 6 No, just this Monday.

Speaker 3 Could be Tuesday?

Speaker 6 In theory.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
Could be a Friday? It could be.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 why is it doing a Black Monday?

Speaker 6 People are just panicking and selling stocks.

Speaker 3 Everyone's just panicking.

Speaker 6 I have no idea.

Speaker 1 Why can't they just turn it off like they did when everyone was making money off GameStop? Can't they just turn the stock market on?

Speaker 6 They're going to stop selling shares. They're going to stop

Speaker 3 and sell, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Just don't turn it on tomorrow.
I want to buy. I hope that Tuesday's better.

Speaker 3 But now is a good buying opportunity. True.

Speaker 3 I'm going to invest in one share of the stock market tomorrow.

Speaker 1 This is when we get rich, boys. Yeah.
This is the greatest opportunity.

Speaker 1 Buy the dip. This is the greatest opportunity of our lifetimes.
Hank, are you going to ever explain to us econ?

Speaker 1 Go. I will.

Speaker 6 Okay. Not today.
Okay. But not tonight.

Speaker 1 You kind of just did with Black Monday.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 all he said was Black Monday. He didn't say anything else.
He said that it's going to be bad. Right, but he just read that.

Speaker 1 He told me earlier that Warren Buffett sold, so that means other people are going to sell. You did

Speaker 1 tell me what you're saying. Black Monday for us.
What? That this was going to happen. You were hammered, so I didn't know what you were saying.

Speaker 1 You did say that. I mean, yeah,

Speaker 1 we're going to have to buy the dip.

Speaker 3 Wait, Hank, you called this?

Speaker 1 He did. He's been talking about it since I've seen him.

Speaker 3 You called the recession?

Speaker 1 He did on Saturday.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you're a fucking genius when it comes to the economy.

Speaker 1 You're the new Warren Buffett. So teach us.

Speaker 1 Okay, things that you,

Speaker 1 things you wish you weren't too old for. Max is running away with this.

Speaker 1 I'm in second. PFT's in third.
Hank is in fourth. How are we feeling, Hank?

Speaker 6 I feel great. I feel relaxed.
I was able to get in the right headspace over vacation. I'm ready for a big second half of the year.

Speaker 1 Max also did say, let's just put this out there. There's not going to be any more food drafts.

Speaker 1 Was Friday a food draft? Hold on. Hold on.
I didn't finish. Max also did say, I'm trying to figure out my magic number.

Speaker 3 Oh, that's too early. Early to do that.

Speaker 1 It's too early to be playing that. Early to do that.
Yeah,

Speaker 3 this has potential to be heartbreaking.

Speaker 1 I mean, this would be an all-time blown lead if you ended up in fourth because it doesn't matter if you're second or third. I know, and like all the Philly teams are kind of doing that this year.

Speaker 6 It's impossible.

Speaker 3 It's impossible. It is impossible.
It's not going to happen.

Speaker 1 Let's see AWS.

Speaker 3 Let me be the first to congratulate Max on winning Mount Rushmore season.

Speaker 1 Congrats, Max. You're the one who said you figured out your magic number.

Speaker 6 I actually don't think it is possible.

Speaker 1 No, I don't either.

Speaker 6 So you have nothing to worry about.

Speaker 1 Hank would just have to go on a heater. Peter, yeah.
Yeah, so you're good.

Speaker 3 Hank, have you figured out where your tragic number is?

Speaker 1 No, I mean, you're close. You're only by like a point now.
Yeah, I'm only up like five points, and you're up two points on them. Who goes first?

Speaker 1 BFT. And then who goes second?

Speaker 1 Me. And then who goes third? We're in the correct order right now.
We're in the correct order.

Speaker 1 No, let's go, boys. We're good.
We're good. We're good.
Things you wish you weren't too old for. I like this.
It's open-ended.

Speaker 3 All right. Things I wish I was not too old for.
First pick,

Speaker 3 going to three-day-long music festivals.

Speaker 1 Good one.

Speaker 3 And Lala was all over the timeline this weekend.

Speaker 3 The chap

Speaker 3 the Chappelle Rhone concert, when she's spelling out H-O-T-T, was it H-O-T-D-O-G-S? Is that what Max was saying?

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 3 It looked like the best time ever, but it also looked like the last place on earth that I would want to go right now at my age. Yes.

Speaker 6 Max just got that.

Speaker 1 You got it? No, I'm trying to think. Say it.
Do you get it? H-O-T-D-O-G-S.

Speaker 1 I love hot dogs. They're the best.
Nice. I saw someone on on TikTok saying that.
Shout out to that person.

Speaker 3 Shout out that person. Shout out that person.

Speaker 1 Okay, good pick because I agree with that. Yeah, I had that on my list.

Speaker 3 The one thing I do appreciate, and I think we can still participate in when it comes to these three-day-long music festivals is seeing old-school, awesome NBA jerseys and then just buying those and wearing those around.

Speaker 3 Yes. Like when I see a Bryant Reeves jersey at Lala, I'm like, damn, that's sick.
Yes.

Speaker 6 You think you're too old to go to one day?

Speaker 1 One day's a concert.

Speaker 3 I can do a one day. I can do a one-day music festival.
I'm going to do that at Riot Fest this year, I think. So I got to pick out either Friday or Saturday for that.

Speaker 3 But three days in a row just feels like crazy. What do you do on the third day?

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's part of your face-off.
All I would, I would. And it's four days now.
Really? Yeah.

Speaker 1 It starts on Thursday.

Speaker 3 I would show up and just complain all day on the third day.

Speaker 1 Okay, good pick. My first pick,

Speaker 1 sleepovers.

Speaker 1 Sleepovers with your friends. Okay.
Too old for it. Would be cool, though.
Those were the best when you were kids.

Speaker 3 Aren't we doing that this week?

Speaker 1 We're not sleeping in the same room. It's also work.
And also, Hank's not anyone's friend.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But sleepovers were the best.

Speaker 1 I wish it was

Speaker 1 socially acceptable to just every now and then be like, let's just watch some games, play some video games, have a sleepover.

Speaker 6 I had sober sleepovers with your boys because sometimes, you know, I guess maybe not you, maybe with the family and stuff, but I'll still have sleepovers with my boys sometimes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, drunk? Yeah. But that's like you were too drunk to go home.

Speaker 6 Yeah, or like you're like staying over for like a night or whatever.

Speaker 1 It's also like the little things, like, you know,

Speaker 1 being a a little too loud, then the dad comes down and yells at you. Yes.
And, like, you know, oh my God, what's going to happen? Sneaking out. Who's going to go to sleep first?

Speaker 3 Sneaking out for a second. Yeah.
Sneaking upstairs to get some snacks. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Sleepover. Pretty good.

Speaker 3 Max and Hank did a sleepover at the Super Bowl a couple years ago.

Speaker 1 That's true.

Speaker 1 We also did a non-sleepover.

Speaker 1 Oh. So you regular day?

Speaker 1 No, but

Speaker 1 we spent...

Speaker 3 Well, Hank's left. They spent a night together, but they didn't have two hours.

Speaker 1 That was kind of sleepover vibes, though.

Speaker 1 Those great video games yeah we tried to do a hank that was hank was the worst puzzle puzzle doer i've ever seen him that was sleepover yeah yeah but we didn't yeah because you don't really sleep at sleepovers either yeah right uh okay hank uh that was gonna be my one one that's a good pick i will go with not paying bills

Speaker 1 you miss not paying bills yeah don't you yeah but you you're not too old for that you could do that you you do do that

Speaker 1 intentionally you don't pay your bills sometimes i do pay my bills but sometimes you don't.

Speaker 6 No, I mean,

Speaker 6 there was a

Speaker 6 grace period when I moved where some stuff was like not getting sent to my condo and whatever.

Speaker 1 But that's the only one, though. Like, I guess.

Speaker 3 That was your first week when you moved in. Half the lights in your apartment weren't on.

Speaker 1 You don't even think about it when you're a kid, though, but yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that'd be nice.

Speaker 1 Max.

Speaker 1 The guy who clinched Mount Rushmore. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You don't even need to go.

Speaker 1 Meatballs.

Speaker 1 Battling through a bad hangover, like drinking through a bad hangover. Yep.

Speaker 3 Hank does that all the time.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 6 You don't do that?

Speaker 1 I'm saying like waking up. You literally

Speaker 6 the sleepover that we just talked about, you woke up and just fought through it.

Speaker 6 Went to the Eagles game.

Speaker 1 Well, I started drinking.

Speaker 1 That wasn't by choice. Like waking up.
No battles by choice. I'm thinking like

Speaker 1 when you're in college Friday night, you get absolutely.

Speaker 1 What you're trying to say is being able to drink with no hangovers. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That would be the... Because you get old and then you don't hang through hangovers.
Yeah, that makes no sense.

Speaker 3 Get his ass hank.

Speaker 1 That makes no sense. Battling through hangovers.
That's what you do. That's what I would do.

Speaker 3 What do you mean that you didn't have a choice when you were at the Super Bowl?

Speaker 1 I mean, I had to go to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 No, but like battling through with like the next day, like parting.

Speaker 1 Okay, I guess like being hungry. Yeah.

Speaker 3 No, actually, I take you to say you had to drink that day. Yeah.
That was the only way you were going to make it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Being hung. Yeah.
Like.

Speaker 1 I just used to like not get hangovers. And that's basically what I'm saying.
So it is the thing that you miss.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Not being hungover. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like drinking without getting hungover. Right.
Okay. That's the answer.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Whoa, Hank. We're just giving him that.
Throw a flag, Hank. Throw a flag.

Speaker 6 Your first answer was battling through hangovers. And then we just gave him an infinitely better one.

Speaker 1 I just didn't understand.

Speaker 1 I mean, Hank's right. I mean, I'll just not take Hank, like battling through hangovers.
No pick, meatballs.

Speaker 1 No, well,

Speaker 1 that's not happening.

Speaker 6 Battling through hangovers.

Speaker 1 That was your pick. All right, fine.

Speaker 1 Fine.

Speaker 1 I don't care. I think that started.

Speaker 3 I think somewhat makes sense.

Speaker 1 Hank is starting to see the punishments get closer and closer.

Speaker 1 I mean, let's also say that. I couldn't get bullseyes.

Speaker 1 Let's also say that I'm the first bullseye. And I also get the most shit for all of my picks and always have to get my picks changed.
Take a deep breath.

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 1 I couldn't get Bullseye.

Speaker 1 What pick got changed?

Speaker 3 You guys made me do Bullseye.

Speaker 1 What pick got changed?

Speaker 1 No, not pick that got changed. Oh, nice.

Speaker 1 People said you also were still mad about Fortnite's. No,

Speaker 1 there was another one reason. You did change a pick.
No, there was.

Speaker 1 Oh, dragons.

Speaker 1 People were pissed that I didn't get dragons. He's a fucking animal.
He got fucking Patrick Mahomes. That's literally an animal.
And it was a terrible pick. I'm just saying.

Speaker 3 You're awfully upset for a guy that's in first place by a significant margin.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Clinched Mount Rushman.
I also think that's a fine pick. People are going to

Speaker 1 be able to do it. Just think about what you're saying before you say it this time.
Playing competitive sports. Okay.
Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Yes. What do we do on Thursdays?

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 That is not competitive.

Speaker 1 If you can have a beer in your hand,

Speaker 1 if you can have a beer in your hand, that's not competitive sports.

Speaker 1 What do we do on Fridays at the office?

Speaker 1 That's not.

Speaker 1 you guys are just this is just going to be the rest of Mount Rushmore. No, man, I think it's actually in class.

Speaker 1 I got a simple rush

Speaker 1 right now.

Speaker 3 Like, that have, you can have a beer Olympics. Was that not a sport?

Speaker 1 No, that is not a sport.

Speaker 1 I'm talking about high school sports, college sports. One of my picks.

Speaker 7 Like, you wake up and get it.

Speaker 1 One of my picks was I'm sad that I'm too old for Little Eagle.

Speaker 1 But that's not what you said. Okay.

Speaker 1 You guys are trying to tell me how to do my Mount Rushmore, and I'm the fucking best at this. True.
You are.

Speaker 1 So what is the, what, what is the... Playing competitive sports.
So are you going to keep playing on your softball team? You guys are. Like, that is not competitive.

Speaker 1 Wow, the pugs. That hurts.
Memes.

Speaker 1 You're part of that team?

Speaker 1 You guys are just going to make me quit Mount Rushmore. I compete.

Speaker 1 That'd be a real shame.

Speaker 1 I show up to Dane Company. I show up to compete.

Speaker 1 If you didn't get to win, it'd be a real shame. No, I like what you guys are doing here because I'm dominating this game way too much that you're just trying to muddy the water.
It'd be real serious.

Speaker 3 You didn't know about Mount Rushmore season, And then your points stayed at the exact same total for the rest of Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 1 Whoever was going to be in first in this season,

Speaker 1 listen. Idiot.

Speaker 1 You idiot. That's what I was saying.

Speaker 3 What was the word you were about to say?

Speaker 1 You fucking idiot, but I was just like. Whoever was in first at this juncture of Mount Rushmore season was going to get this type of heat.
It just happens, it's you. All right.
No, fuck you.

Speaker 3 I think the lights might be too bright for Max. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He clinched. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's just

Speaker 1 upset. You guys are upset.
You're like the Yankees. Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 6 A lot of choices here.

Speaker 6 Let's go with climbing random trees.

Speaker 3 I had climbing trees on my list, too. Yeah.

Speaker 6 When you were a kid, you would just climb whatever tree you could see. You see it with some branches low, and you're like, oh, I can get up there.
Now

Speaker 6 you'd probably get the police called.

Speaker 6 Yep.

Speaker 1 That's a good one. That's a good one.

Speaker 1 Playing with nerf guns. I wish I wasn't too old for that.
Playing with nerf guns as a kid was the best. And now when you do do it, it's just like, who cares?

Speaker 3 And they've gotten so much better over the years.

Speaker 1 So much better.

Speaker 3 You have like automatic weapons. You've got laser sights on them.

Speaker 1 Incredible. But playing with nerf guns was so much fun as a kid.

Speaker 3 You get the, yeah. What's that look for, Hank?

Speaker 1 Nothing. No, no, there's a look.

Speaker 1 Stop gaslighting everything.

Speaker 1 No, I have nothing to say for the rest of this Mount Rush. What? I will take more picks.
I will take my picks, and I will have no comment on anyone. Only the facts.
Come back. Nope.

Speaker 6 No comment.

Speaker 6 Maybe like Barcelona, when we did the Nerf, we did a Nerf video.

Speaker 1 We did. Three years ago.
What did we do? We did do that Nerf video. We did it in the New York office.
Was I part of it?

Speaker 1 You were a captain. Yeah, that was fun.
I wish I had we could do that all the time, but we don't. Well, that was also like three years ago.

Speaker 1 I didn't bring it up. I was just curious.
I was curious if Max is going to be a bit more popular.

Speaker 3 I think the name of this is things like that you wish you weren't too old for. That was in the past, right? Yeah, that was.
That was three years ago. Max.

Speaker 1 It's a good thing I've been doing it. Come back to us from out rush more.
I'm done critiquing your picks. Yeah.
No, no, I'm ready. All right.
So, do you think that was a good pick?

Speaker 1 Sure. Okay.

Speaker 3 Okay. So,

Speaker 1 I'm up.

Speaker 1 I just imagine, imagine waking up. Imagine waking up as a member of the Pugs on Black Monday and finding out you're not playing competitive sports.

Speaker 3 Yeah, well, I mean,

Speaker 3 if Hugh is managing the team, they're not competitive. That's true.

Speaker 1 That's true. You're a leader of that team.

Speaker 6 Talk. He hasn't been there.

Speaker 6 No, yeah.

Speaker 1 No. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 Neither of you.

Speaker 6 I'm talking about me. This is awesome.

Speaker 1 You went to a game and didn't play because it bicep hurt. Is that true?

Speaker 6 Yeah, I was worried about golf.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Now I actually, your pick got stronger. Because a guy who doesn't play because he's worried about golf, that's not competitive.

Speaker 1 Okay. PFTU.
Also, Hank. Who's the playoffs I would have played?

Speaker 3 Hank competes in multiple competitive golf tournaments a year that he cares about. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, so I have two. Yep.

Speaker 3 Okay. So my first one, I'm going to go trampolines.

Speaker 3 Trampolines rock.

Speaker 1 Dude, have you guys been on a trampoline recently?

Speaker 3 No.

Speaker 1 Okay. I was on a trampoline two weeks ago with my kids.
I was doing popcorn with them where I was jumping and they were just popping everywhere. Maybe eight minutes, completely gassed.
Like, sweat.

Speaker 1 Had to get off the trampoline. That shit just kills you.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I was watching it at the Olympics too. And every time the guy would jump up in the air, I'd be like, that guy's going to die.
They're so high up. But trampolines were so fun.

Speaker 6 There's trampolines in the Olympics?

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's trampolining. Yeah.
What? Yeah. They go like 50 feet in the air.

Speaker 3 It's crazy.

Speaker 1 Damn.

Speaker 3 That's nuts. They should do trampoline in the Olympics, but it should be like a battle, like two people at the same time trying to bounce each other.

Speaker 1 And maybe with a hoop?

Speaker 3 And a ball hoop, and then you can tackle the guy in midair.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 3 But yeah, trampolines were so fun.

Speaker 3 You'd always go over to your friend's house house that had a trampoline, and his parents obviously just kind of didn't care, and they were okay with everyone getting hurt.

Speaker 3 And then you just go on it for like, all you'd want to do is be like, let's go to the trampoline. And they'd be like, I'm sick of the trampoline.
I broke my arm

Speaker 3 two months ago. No, I want to do the fucking trampoline.
They're awesome, but you can't do it as an adult.

Speaker 3 My next one, I'm going to go power wheels. Power wheels are so fun because you couldn't drive yet, but goddamn, if you weren't behind the wheel of what felt like a car at the time,

Speaker 3 power wheels were the absolute best.

Speaker 1 Agreed.

Speaker 1 Okay, I got a pick.

Speaker 3 Any smart comments about that?

Speaker 1 Max, I'm locked back in. Oh, yeah, pretty good.

Speaker 6 I'm locked back in. Do you know what the power wheels are?

Speaker 1 No, I have no idea what power wheels are like in 1980s. Do you know what power wheels are?

Speaker 1 No. Power wheels?

Speaker 3 Everyone knows power wheels.

Speaker 1 Power wheels.

Speaker 1 No. I don't know that.
There's one in the office for my kids.

Speaker 3 Oh,

Speaker 3 it's a mini car.

Speaker 1 No, that's something different, but I have a mini truck that my kids come on Saturdays and just whip around in them. They're awesome.
I don't know.

Speaker 6 I never had one in a second, but I think he was driving them until he was like 14.

Speaker 3 That's hilarious.

Speaker 3 Hank's so funny.

Speaker 1 That was a fucking good one, Hank.

Speaker 1 That was a good one. Okay.
Yeah. They're just mini like mini cars and mini trucks.
But you can just drive real cars. Well, not when you're a little.
Yeah, sure.

Speaker 3 Now, shit, now that you're old. Yeah, but like.
this draft is the things that you wish you weren't too old for.

Speaker 1 Right. But he's saying you could drive a real car, which is.

Speaker 3 I could also probably still drive a power wheel. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That would be. We've got to try it.
We have to try that out now.

Speaker 3 When you're right, you're right. Hank's right.
That's why I'm a really good driver because I was trained up there all until I got my license.

Speaker 1 It's been almost a year since you last wrapped your car around a pole in the parking lot.

Speaker 3 Well, the pole that Hank clearly intentionally mislabeled.

Speaker 1 All right. Easy one for me, building forts.
I just just love building forts. Now I'm in the fort-building game on the other side where I build the forts, but I don't get to go in the forts.

Speaker 1 But building forts, just being inside of a fort. You build a good fort and start of the day.
It's like, I got this fort for the rest of the day. Pillow forts.

Speaker 3 Pillow forts. Take forks down by the creek.
Yep.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 the best. Building a fort and just being like, this is my spot.
I got it.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 6 I think it's been a lot of kids stuff, but I'll go a little bit older. I'll just go with college parties.

Speaker 1 Yeah. College College parties were good ones.

Speaker 6 College parties were the best.

Speaker 1 And it does.

Speaker 1 I think the last college party I was at was with you, Hank, and it was like 10 years ago. And it was very uncomfortable for us.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I had a stretch. I mean, like we did the Dixie tour when I was 22.
That didn't feel weird. And you were fine.
There was a couple years after that. Like, I think I was 24.

Speaker 6 And I was like, this is.

Speaker 1 We were at Ohio State.

Speaker 1 I was like 20 when playing beer pong or flip cup. And I was probably 29.
And I was like, I have to get out of here. This is not good.
Like, I need to get out of here.

Speaker 6 Yeah, college parties from 18 to, I mean, even give yourself 22.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Can't beat it.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 You know, like the Beer Olympics this year, they were basically the same thing as a college party.

Speaker 6 That's just, that's every single Saturday in college.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Like caring very deeply about a game of beer pong. Yeah.
I miss getting into fights in beer pong games. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That was fun. It's a good pick.
Max?

Speaker 1 I don't know where this is going to go.

Speaker 1 And this is also something that I didn't really get to do at my own school, but I did it at other schools, and that's watching games at a student section. Ooh, okay.

Speaker 1 I know that you guys did that recently. Yeah, you can still do that.

Speaker 1 You got to get over the uncomfortable thing. Yeah,

Speaker 1 that's what this whole thing, I mean, technically you can do anything that we're doing today, but it's uncomfortable. No, it's a good pick.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I have a pick coming up that you cannot do, but okay.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's interesting.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 I have one that I really want to do, but I think that

Speaker 1 you're going to give me shit. No, go for it.
You're in the lead. You're never going to blow this lead.
We won't give you shit. I won't give you shit.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 6 Say it, Matt.

Speaker 6 As long as you're too old to do it.

Speaker 1 I am too old to do it.

Speaker 1 Okay. Fuck it.

Speaker 1 This is another thing that I was going to do. I took it off with you.

Speaker 1 That I was never never able to do, and I was just

Speaker 1 in France studying abroad. I'm too old to study abroad.

Speaker 1 I could never do it. It's the coolest thing ever.
Yeah. That is.
I wish I did.

Speaker 1 The whole time I was over there, I was like, I cannot believe that kids did this for a full semester and like fake went to school and then just went all through Europe. What?

Speaker 1 Hank's insane, but you'd have to go to college

Speaker 1 and study abroad.

Speaker 3 Hank goes to college for one semester and studies abroad.

Speaker 1 Oh, you guys are going to give me shit for that. No, I don't know why.
No, that's a good pitch.

Speaker 1 That's a good pitch.

Speaker 3 Study abroad literally translates to look at that chick.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, okay.
Yeah, go, Matt. Hey, yeah.
It took me a while, but yeah. Go.

Speaker 6 I will stay on brand

Speaker 6 considering, you know,

Speaker 6 you take a day off and it's like you killed someone, but just having the whole summer off.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Nothing better. No, you're doing that this year.
Last day of school.

Speaker 6 No, I'm here. I took less than a week off.
I was here on Thursday, here on Friday, plane on Saturday.

Speaker 6 But yeah, last day of school before you were like, I don't know, what, 13, 14, maybe you started to have and do like some type of job in the summer. But like when you're, you know,

Speaker 6 elementary and

Speaker 6 I guess, I guess, just elementary school kid, the last day of school was like, I'm just going to play wiffle ball and baseball for the next two months. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And go to the pool. Winter college break, too.

Speaker 6 Was great. Yeah.
I feel like it was like a month. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was like a month. Whoa.

Speaker 6 I did it for once.

Speaker 1 And then my friends,

Speaker 1 wait, wait, wait. And then

Speaker 3 you went to school for one semester, right?

Speaker 1 No, two. Oh, two.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, I finished out strong.

Speaker 1 But then when I was working. Would it be funny if Hank was still technically on his winter college break?

Speaker 6 No, I think if you did both of my semesters, though, I have like one semester's worth of credits.

Speaker 1 Finished out strong. Yeah.

Speaker 6 But when I was working at a young age in the workforce,

Speaker 6 and my friends would be home and they would just have, they'd be like off, fucking off for like a month straight. And I'd just be at work being like, how, like, when do you go back to school? Yeah.

Speaker 6 How are you still doing this?

Speaker 6 It's Wednesday.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was the best. All right.

Speaker 1 I got two that I want to. Should I do one or two? Max, you pick.
I want the one that you said that you definitely can't do.

Speaker 1 Having a wet dream.

Speaker 3 A hand job from God.

Speaker 1 I wish I would, those rocks. It was basically virtual reality, and it was awesome, but you can't do it anymore.
I haven't had a wet dream since I was 12 years old, 13 years old.

Speaker 1 Have you had one? No, I haven't. Oh,

Speaker 1 couldn't you?

Speaker 1 Could you?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 You can just don't jerk off. I guess Robbie Fox has to do it.
Robbie Fox was also very young when he was like 19. Okay, okay.
That's.

Speaker 1 I mean, it was

Speaker 1 a bet.

Speaker 1 you went to sleep and you fucked a hot chick and then, yeah, I mean, the cleanup was a little weird, but who cares?

Speaker 6 I think if you didn't come for like two weeks or a month or something, maybe it would just happen.

Speaker 3 I don't know. That'd be very funny.
Like, explain to your significant other, like, no, we can't do it. I'm trying to get myself a wet dream.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to get a wet dream.

Speaker 3 Just bear with me for the next couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 I also, like, it was only like a little stretch for me, and it rocked for that little stretch.

Speaker 3 I had one, exactly one wet dream my entire life. Really? And it was incredible.
Yeah. And then I'm like, maybe I'll have another one.
But then I psyched myself out.

Speaker 3 Now, every time I'm dreaming, I'm thinking about about to have sex with a hot chick. I'm like, wait, you idiot, this is a dream that hot chick will never have sex with you.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Then I wake up and then I try to go back to sleep to get back into the dream where I like think about that dream, put myself back, and then it's fucked up.

Speaker 1 It would rock to be able to have a wet dream. Yeah.
It would rock to be able to like know too, just being like, I'm going to put on, maybe put on a condom before I go to bed.

Speaker 1 They'll clean up.

Speaker 1 But yeah, that's, we're too old for that. Huey, you got you ever you ever had a wet dream?

Speaker 8 Uh, no, no, no, I don't remember a single one.

Speaker 1 Okay, so you might have had one.

Speaker 8 There's a possibility, okay.

Speaker 3 All right, uh, PFT, your last big is a dream where you're swimming. Yeah, I won't drown, probably.

Speaker 1 Uh, I was picking those dreams.

Speaker 3 A bunch of mine got picked in this last round, so this is gonna be tough for me.

Speaker 1 Uh,

Speaker 3 I miss

Speaker 1 uh

Speaker 3 the possibility of being taller.

Speaker 3 Like, I'm not done growing.

Speaker 6 That's a good one. That's a good one.

Speaker 1 Thank you for you, especially. Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 3 When I was until I was like 19 or 20, I was like, maybe, maybe I'm not done yet. Because I stopped growing when I was in like ninth grade.
I was like, maybe next year's the growth spurt.

Speaker 3 I started eating a lot of food, just got fat for a little bit because I was trying to convince myself that it was a growth spurt. Yep.
That I'm hungry all the time. No, you're just getting fat.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 But that was, yeah, I wish I could still have that feeling where it's like, maybe this isn't it for me.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Maybe I'm tall, PFT, but or taller than you.

Speaker 1 But not tall.

Speaker 6 I was this height.

Speaker 6 I was this height in seventh grade.

Speaker 6 And my dad is like 6'2 ⁇ . My uncle's like 6'4.
My brother's 6'3.

Speaker 6 And they told me that I was going to be the tallest person in my family. Oh, no.
Never grew a game. That's brutal.

Speaker 1 The fat guy equivalent to that is like outgrowing your baby fat. Yeah.
Like when you're a fat child, it's like, it's okay. It's just baby fat.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it won't have to be a tear, yeah, yeah, yeah, or like you get to that, and then you do outgrow it, and then it all comes back.

Speaker 3 Yeah, an older relative is like, Look, this is what I looked like in like middle school, yeah, and now I'm skinny, and you're like, Oh, that's gonna be me, and you think genetics is gonna do all of it, and now you have to rely on Ozimpic, yeah,

Speaker 1 or like we're doing, we're working out, yeah, we're working out.

Speaker 3 Me and Big Cat are getting in the best shape of our lives, yeah, diet started today.

Speaker 1 Yep, what are we having for dinner?

Speaker 3 Pizza, small amount of pizza.

Speaker 1 The one who said we should get we should add some salads, Salads, yeah, for a record.

Speaker 1 What got left off? The one I was thinking that

Speaker 1 I would have picked, but I feel like maybe a little too much pushback. Pissing outdoors without it being a crime.
No, golf course. Yeah, true.
You pee anywhere.

Speaker 1 But it is, it was awesome when you were a kid and you're just like, I pee anywhere. No one's going to say shit.
In college,

Speaker 1 we had two bathrooms that were right next to the outdoor, like right next to outside, and we would just go outside, and we were like, I'm using the urinal.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but even that would be a crime if someone saw it.

Speaker 1 like, being at like when I take my son to like t-ball and he's like, I gotta pee, I'm like, all right, there's a tree right there. No one's gonna say shit.

Speaker 3 If I peed behind that tree,

Speaker 1 big problem,

Speaker 1 big problem.

Speaker 6 I had getting hyped for Christmas morning. I had that too.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I thought about that one. Just

Speaker 6 gravity bongs.

Speaker 3 The excitement. No, we're gonna do, we're bringing those back.
Yeah, we are bringing those back. But the excitement of the magic of Christmas.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and also your birthday, too.

Speaker 3 Yeah, birthdays.

Speaker 1 Birthday was like, that was a big deal. And now it's just like, fuck, I'm getting older.
Like, right,

Speaker 1 what, 18 is probably the last. No, 21 is the last birthday that you're excited for.

Speaker 3 25, you can, you can rent it.

Speaker 1 I think it's 21. 21, I think it's it.
You can rent a beach house just like, yeah. But dude, remember, like, waking up being like, I'm 10 today? A fucking rock.
Double hand. Cupcakes.
Yeah. School.

Speaker 3 Yeah, your birthday party, pizza.

Speaker 1 Velcro sneakers.

Speaker 1 If you're an adult man wearing velcro sneakers, people are like, something's wrong.

Speaker 1 And they are so much easier than tying your shoes. Yep.
I wish I wasn't too old for those.

Speaker 3 I had a, but then you actually get,

Speaker 1 it does come around.

Speaker 1 Yeah, when you, when you get way old, you can do it.

Speaker 3 Diapers and Velcro. Yeah.
They make a comeback. I had quitting a job that you don't care about.

Speaker 3 That's good. That is one of the best feelings in the world.
That's good. When you have a job in like your early 20s and you just hate it

Speaker 3 and walking away from that job, it is better than drugs.

Speaker 1 I walked out on a job on a lunch break. That's awesome.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 it was the worst job. It was the one I had had where I called

Speaker 1 people asking them for money for Wisconsin alum. So I'd call them during dinner.

Speaker 6 I quit a dishwasher. It's the worst.
A dishwashing job to go to a free Mac Miller concert.

Speaker 1 Hell yes.

Speaker 1 I had this one, I would have gotten some pushback because I'm currently doing a little of this, but I do wish I could just play video games all day.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I had that.

Speaker 1 Like, there was nothing better than getting a new video game, being like, there's my next 12 hours. Yeah.
I'm just going to beat this video game.

Speaker 6 That was the best. Having imaginary friends.
Oh, Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6 Slash like world, like world building with like your toys.

Speaker 1 More though, I wish that you could have that, though. No, imagination, I think.
It's not imaginary friends. Imagination, you lose your imagination.
That sucks.

Speaker 6 Yeah, like you have like stuffed animals and like you have a whole world in your brain.

Speaker 1 What was your world?

Speaker 6 It depended. It depended on the day.

Speaker 3 What were your stuffed animals?

Speaker 6 I had a chip beanie baby.

Speaker 6 That was my ride or die. And then it was just a random collection of other stuffed animals that my dog used as

Speaker 6 toys you had two yeah you had your dog's toys i had i had stuffed animals yeah i had my ace like he'd be in the bed with me and then everything else was just kind of like whatever was in the house the uh

Speaker 1 one

Speaker 1 having energy

Speaker 1 yeah

Speaker 1 like that's working out though yeah but like i'm talking about kid energy like i'm pretty sure my kids are solar powered because they'll just be in the sun all day and they just won't be tired it's just like how did this happen yeah you're like you're super excited to wake up right and you're super upset to go to sleep right because when you go to sleep that's you might miss out on yourself.

Speaker 1 These old stuff. Yeah.
Yeah. Sleeping in was one I had as well.
Like I just, I'm too old to sleep in. It would be awesome to sleep in till like 11.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, I sleep in sometimes as well. That's, I'm so jealous of that.
Like, are there Saturdays? That's like, but are there Saturdays when you'll sleep till like 11? Oh, yeah. You motherfucker.

Speaker 1 Easily. I would, I would sleep at four the other day.
I would, I would,

Speaker 1 I'd kill a man to be able to do that.

Speaker 3 You almost slept through the sun?

Speaker 6 I was was in bed pretty much until the sun damn it.

Speaker 1 See, that's that came down.

Speaker 1 A younger boy would also battle through that sun.

Speaker 6 That was also awesome.

Speaker 3 I had happy meals. Happy meals, the joy of the happy meal and the tiny little shitty toy.

Speaker 1 What about like school parties? Yeah. Valentine's Day.
House party. Oh.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 8 Like Valentine's Day, you had all that stuff. You had like the Christmas parties, there always be like big activities.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Field day. Yeah.
Now you try to do that. There's always like alcohol or something else.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 But just like a sober, fun party.

Speaker 1 Clean, old-fashioned, fun. Yeah.
The holiday-themed stuff. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Dress-up parties for the holidays.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's a good one.

Speaker 6 Swinging on swing sets.

Speaker 1 Swinging on swing sets. That's awesome.

Speaker 6 You get the cops called on you.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Especially if you're holding it.

Speaker 6 No, I'm saying yo, you walked, you're with your kids going to a park and you see a normal adult male by himself swinging on a swing.

Speaker 1 You're like, what the fuck's going on?

Speaker 3 Yeah, for his own good, I would call the cops on him, probably.

Speaker 1 You can still swim in a pool but being a kid swimming in a pool like there was nothing better i would never just being in a pool all day like like going underwater you guys gone underwater recently it's not as fun i did like it's just like your ears pop like i remember i was using just fucking go underwater all day i did yeah it was it was awesome i was at the pool i got water my buddy was at the pool and he's got like a six-year-old son and so he's like let's see how deep we can go to touch the bottom yeah and so i was in the deep end and you just like push yourself down touch the bottom it's exhilarating.

Speaker 1 But then you don't, you do it once, and you're like, all right, I did it. Like being a kid, you do it for hours.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the kid stayed there and he kept doing it. Just pool games in general.

Speaker 1 Pool games in general. Definitely.
I did.

Speaker 1 I had being able to go out with a $20 bill. Oh, that's good.
I wanted to do that. That was another one I was thinking.
Then you're going to be.

Speaker 1 But then the alternative is, okay, well, now you have more money, so you don't need to do that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But like when you're in college and like literally all you need is a $20 bill and can like have the best night ever. an it's it I can't even fathom that PFT and I have uh

Speaker 1 going out without smartphones yeah it was excellent that was so awesome it was going out with a flip phone just being like no one was on their phone I never

Speaker 6 have a smartphone until

Speaker 6 six months into working at Barcelona really you had a flip phone retext me were you doing like t9 I had an NV1 it was like the it was a

Speaker 6 it was a flip open keyboard and then I had an iPod touch

Speaker 6 Wi-Fi shit.

Speaker 1 I had a smartphone until I was like 24. It's Blackberry.
Yeah. All right.
Anything else? Anything else we missed? Being a kid rocked. Yeah.
Really was the best. Coloring?

Speaker 1 I was bad at coloring.

Speaker 1 Being able to be completely oblivious to all politics. Yeah.
Like I do a pretty, I try really hard to be oblivious, but it seeps in. But when you were a kid, who the fuck cares?

Speaker 6 Not having a frontal lobe. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Well, you're getting there. Yeah.

Speaker 1 There were a couple things I thought of that were close to both of yours. One of them, laser tag.

Speaker 3 Laser tag's a good one.

Speaker 1 I have a take. I think laser tag's the most overrated thing.

Speaker 3 I don't think you went to the right laser tag.

Speaker 1 They're all bad.

Speaker 3 No, no.

Speaker 3 Not ultra zone.

Speaker 1 Every time I play laser tag, I wish I was playing paintball. But paintball, you have to wear it.
Like, I don't want to get...

Speaker 1 It's the fun of paintball without getting hurt.

Speaker 3 And laser tag, it's dark. You got like black lights.
You're sneaking through mazes and shit.

Speaker 1 Paintball was fun last year. Yeah, paintball was a lot fun.

Speaker 1 And and then also go-karts oh go-karts yeah go-karts but i thought it was it was close to and they also do have like a they do have like adult go-karts we did it yeah we did it in nashville a few years ago and it was for an ad too yeah it was fun but that's different if it's for an ad it's different i used to oh man i used to just want to stop at every go-kart place My dad would just not let me.

Speaker 1 I was just like, fuck. I feel like roller coasters are kind of like, like, you can't just go to an amusing park and just like.
I guess you can. Yeah, having the thrill of being on a golf cart, too.

Speaker 1 Like, when you do like going on a golf cart when you're a kid, was awesome.

Speaker 3 Uh, water parks, yeah, water parks, although water parks are still fun, they're still fun, not the same, not the same. Uh, batting cages, still fun, not the same, yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1 batting cages. Um, all right,

Speaker 1 good show, boys. Uh, we have the random number generator because we forgot to do the lottery balls.
So, do you want to win this? Yeah, of course. Okay, uh, numbers, I don't want this

Speaker 1 56,

Speaker 3 I'll go go 20.

Speaker 1 I'll go

Speaker 1 11. Okay.

Speaker 3 Also I have to wait.

Speaker 1 I'll go 8.

Speaker 1 Huey? 42. 42 for Huey.
Jonah? 47. 47.
3 for memes. Shane? 21.
21. Alright.
Shane, you watching?

Speaker 1 11.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it says 11.

Speaker 1 Wait, did you get 11? Yeah, Max gets 11.

Speaker 3 Hey, congrats, Max. Congrats, Max.

Speaker 1 That's awesome. Huge.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Max.

Speaker 3 Max finally got it.

Speaker 1 Shane, you were looking at it. Does it not say 11? Wait, you actually guessed 11? Yeah, I mean, it's the it's no, it doesn't count as the lottery ball.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you've got

Speaker 1 the random number generator. That's so sick.

Speaker 1 100%.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was actually 11, Jane?

Speaker 3 Good job, dude. Was there a camera? Good job.

Speaker 3 My eyes, but

Speaker 3 yeah, Beam's eyes. Congrats, Max.

Speaker 1 Max, that's so sick.

Speaker 1 Show the fucking thing. That's so sick, Max.

Speaker 1 That's so sick, dude. I still think you're fucking with me.
I mean, well, because it's like the lamest thing to win.

Speaker 1 I mean, I don't care.

Speaker 1 You can't ask the question anymore. No, I can.
Have you ever gotten the lottery ball machine?

Speaker 1 I got the number. Have you ever gotten the lottery ball machine? I got the number.

Speaker 1 Answer the question. Have you ever gotten the lottery ball machine? I've got the number.
No, you've never gotten the lottery ball machine. All right, fine.

Speaker 1 It's better. I'm taking.
This is a win. No.

Speaker 3 The best part is

Speaker 3 there's always going to be like a shred of doubt in Max's mind that it was actually 3.

Speaker 1 It's okay.

Speaker 1 It was not 11.

Speaker 1 How did you do that? I just kept on hitting it until it became 11.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I got my guy back here.

Speaker 3 Wait, was it 11?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was 11.

Speaker 1 For 11 chain? Look, 11. I know that, but
