Baker Mayfield, Mt Rushmore Of Video Games, Jalen Brunson's New Deal + Monday Reading

Speaker 1 Hey, pardon my take, listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.
Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Speaker 2 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boar's Head is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 2 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 2 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 2 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 2 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 On today's part in my take, we have good friend, recurring guest, been a long time, Baker Mayfield on on the show. We taped it during Chill Week.
Awesome interview.

Speaker 1 We haven't talked to Baker in like four or five years. We get into that.

Speaker 1 There was a concern that maybe we were outside of the inner circle. We are not.
We're back in. And it was an awesome interview.
It was great catching up with Baker.

Speaker 1 We're so, so happy for everything that's transpired in the past year.

Speaker 3 Talk UFOs with him. Yep.
That short week that he had going out to L.A.?

Speaker 1 It was an awesome interview and great to have him back on the show. We're going to do the Mount Rushmore of video games in honor of EA Sports College Football being back today,

Speaker 1 which we will talk about some more. We have a lot to recap.
There were some Euros. There were some Wimbledon.
There was some Copa.

Speaker 1 There were some other sports. It all happened.
Jalen Brunson signed a deal. It was a big weekend in sports.
And we'll get to all of it in a minute.

Speaker 4 When Cool Creamy Ranch meets tangy, bold Buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 1 At participating McDonald's, it's okay. Let's go.

Speaker 1 No place to hang out or washing.

Speaker 1 And then I can't name all of the sun. Oh, no, we're gonna rock it down to Elene Trick Avenue.

Speaker 1 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Elene Trick Avenue. It's part of my take.
There's an Arshoo Sports.

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings. Best Ball Week is here.
Download the DraftKings app, use code TAKE. That's code TAKE.

Speaker 1 For all customers, you enter the NFL Best Ball 15 million millionaire contest to get a bonus ticket and get a shot at being crowned one of the two millionaires. It's Best Ball Week only on DraftKings.

Speaker 1 Today is Monday, July 15th. And let me be the first to say

Speaker 1 you are listening right now to the only, as far as I know it, the only sports podcast that is 100% against assassination.

Speaker 3 Anti-assassination.

Speaker 3 That's us. That's the type of take you get on this program that that you don't get on your first takes.
You don't get that on your get-ups.

Speaker 3 I would like to get that on your Ryan Rossillo shows.

Speaker 1 I'd like to see Greeny come out and be 100%

Speaker 1 anti-assassination.

Speaker 3 Oh, no. Greeny will never do that.

Speaker 1 No. Greeny will never in a million years.

Speaker 3 It's too controversial for me.

Speaker 1 Way too controversial. Yeah, that was crazy.

Speaker 1 We don't really talk about the political world, but when there's an assassination attempt on a former president who's currently running for president, we have to come out and say that we are very much against assassination.

Speaker 1 Pretty wild.

Speaker 3 One turn of the head, and that's all it took. Missed by inches.

Speaker 1 Also, a hell of a picture by Trump to stand up like that, to have

Speaker 1 the thought in the moment being like, this is going to rock.

Speaker 3 Did you see some of the pictures that have the bullet actually going by the back of his head? It's nuts. It is crazy.

Speaker 1 It's nuts. And yeah, crazy times we live in.
We are an escape from those crazy times, but we had to say anti-assassination.

Speaker 1 I noticed one person in this room has not come out and said anti-assassination. We as a podcast are anti-assassination.
Okay, okay. All right.

Speaker 1 I am good. Anti-assassination.
So you are, Hank, personally. I am personally and as a podcast.
I am. I didn't know that the podcast.
Double dip.

Speaker 3 I didn't know that the podcast was going to be anti-I knew that I was going to be already. Sounds like Hank just kind of followed suit when he heard that we were anti-assassination.

Speaker 1 I'm anti-assassination. There we go, Max.
There we go, Max. Memes,

Speaker 1 anti-assassination. Yes.
Chalk it up. That is a consensus, boys.

Speaker 1 That's the only consensus we've ever had on this podcast.

Speaker 3 Also, just goes to show you Nick Castellano's tremendous timing.

Speaker 1 I mean, memes, are you like, your meme just lives forever? He hit a home run, and he also hit his 45th and 47th RBIs yesterday.

Speaker 3 Incredible. Maybe the funniest guy in baseball.
Memes?

Speaker 1 I thought it died down there for a little bit and thought it was over, but he just keeps coming back.

Speaker 1 Now, he did hit it before the assassination attempt, but I still think Nick Castellanos, anytime he homers, you just got to look over your shoulder.

Speaker 3 On high alert, yeah. I regret drafting him onto my dingers-only team.
Feels like it's just every time, every time something good happens for me, something bad's about to happen to somebody else.

Speaker 1 Yeah, poor Richard Simmons as well passed away, and

Speaker 1 no one. I mean, we all thought he might have been dead for years, and then when he did die, he's like, I'll just, you know, a random Saturday in July.

Speaker 3 No, it stinks to have your own death overshadowed by somebody else almost dying.

Speaker 1 Yeah, instantly. Instantly.

Speaker 3 Instantly. I found out that Richard Simmons died because Trump almost got assassinated.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because you were looking at like the 4-U. Yeah.
Yeah. I also found out that Ben Simmons is still alive.

Speaker 3 Because he was probably

Speaker 3 live look at the shooter. Yes.

Speaker 1 The 4U page on Twitter was popping off. I think there was one headline that was like, from NBA star to

Speaker 1 Trump rally prankster, here's what Clay Thompson's up to now.

Speaker 1 It was just like, okay.

Speaker 3 And we're going to settle this at the battle bot.

Speaker 3 That's what Biden said tonight.

Speaker 1 The battle bot?

Speaker 3 We're going to settle this at the battle bots. Okay, so by the way, that show rock.

Speaker 1 We also should probably do, I think we've done like manliest moves Mount Rushmore, but in terms of most badass things, surviving an assassination attempt is - one.

Speaker 3 It's definitely up there for sure. And I always wonder at what point do you reach assassination status? Like, plenty of people get killed.

Speaker 3 Plenty of people get murdered or attempted murdered, but at some point, then you can be assassinated.

Speaker 1 Like it's political, right?

Speaker 3 Like, if Hank were to die, would that be a murder or an assassination?

Speaker 1 Murder. Well,

Speaker 1 maybe an assassination, and we're anti-it. So there you go, Hank.
Yeah. We have your back.
But yeah, we had to say we're anti-assassination.

Speaker 1 Suspects one and two. Yeah, they call the boyfriend kind of thing.
Yeah. Yeah, that probably, you're probably right.

Speaker 3 Does anybody here have a middle name that they include in their main name? Because if so, that's target number.

Speaker 1 Well, actually, we'll just be some alibis.

Speaker 3 Christopher Max Delente.

Speaker 1 Christopher Max. Well, yeah.
Yeah. Max Dell.
That's an assassin name.

Speaker 1 We'll just have really strong alibis. Yeah.
You have to and I were doing the pod.

Speaker 1 That's actually actually.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we don't know what happened.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Let's talk some sports.

Speaker 1 Jalen Brunson, wind horse meme. What's going on in New York? Because Jalen Brunson signed a deal for

Speaker 1 four years, $156.5 million.

Speaker 1 He saved the team $113 million.

Speaker 1 Now, not to take away from LeBron's $3 million that he saved, but this was an insane deal that makes him, I don't know, 1-1 of current New York athletes. Memes, would that be fair to say?

Speaker 1 He's got to be 1-1 New York athlete right now. Grimus.
Yeah, 1-1 right now. I mean, that is the most...

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 he obviously still has to win a championship to take it all the way, but just in terms of the path and what his last year looked like and then doing this, I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 1 Maybe it's his father, Rick, who is is an assistant coach, is going to be the highest paid assistant coach in the NBA. Or maybe because he works in the financial capital of the world,

Speaker 1 there's something that might make that sweeter.

Speaker 3 That'd be very funny if there was a New York-based name-image-likeness collective that got together for the Knicks.

Speaker 3 And so it's like, yeah, don't pay them as much because you know what we're going to do? We're going to have him just be a spokesperson for MetLife. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Is he married to a supermodel?

Speaker 1 I do not think he's married to a supermodel.

Speaker 1 I have no choice but to take it at face value. I know there's conspiracy theorists, and everyone's going to run around saying he's getting that money somewhere else.

Speaker 1 Pretty much the coolest move you can do if you're a fan of the Knicks.

Speaker 1 I think players should get what they're worth, but I wouldn't complain if I'm a Knicks fan right now that he just left $113 million on the table to make his team better and deliver a championship to the Knicks.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so he got paid about 58%

Speaker 3 what he could have gotten paid

Speaker 3 waited until next offseason.

Speaker 1 How are they going to allow this? I think someone someone is definitely petitioning CJ McCollum right now and being like, this is not allowed.

Speaker 3 It's probably his agent.

Speaker 1 Yeah, sir, please.

Speaker 1 Please, someone do this.

Speaker 3 Maybe they're going to take that money that they saved and give it to Jay Wright, which would be a repayment on the loan that Jay Wright paid Jalen Brunson to go to Villanova.

Speaker 1 Also, not a bad idea. Yeah.

Speaker 1 This is shocking, though. Like, when you guys saw this, were you not like, what? Because guys take hometown discounts.
He took half. Yeah.
He took half of

Speaker 1 what he's eligible to take, and he would have been paid every single dollar of that max. And now, I mean, the Knicks have to use that money wisely, but holy shit.

Speaker 3 Well, there's another element. Maybe he thought to himself, I don't know if I can play for another season under Tibbs' watch.

Speaker 3 So by signing early, he removes the chance of getting injured, not getting that next contract.

Speaker 1 It's crazy. Does it make you nervous,

Speaker 1 Hank? Max? No. No? Oh, that was.

Speaker 1 You just threw that. It's the Knicks and it's Nova.
Okay. What is

Speaker 1 two things I'll never be worried about?

Speaker 1 Nova won two national championships. That's true.

Speaker 3 But that didn't worry Hank. He wasn't worried when you're not going to be able to do that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know why he included. He included Nova in that to try and piss me off, even though they won two national championships.
Are you like, what the hell is going on, Max?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't understand it at all.

Speaker 1 I don't understand it at all. I mean, I would love for a player that I root for to do this.
This would be the coolest move ever.

Speaker 1 And Knicks fans should be over the moon happy, but it's still, I'm just sitting here like, what is going on?

Speaker 3 It is crazy that a superstar NBA player is turning down that much money.

Speaker 1 That doesn't happen.

Speaker 3 Hall of Fame guy? It only happens with guys at the end of their career if they want to go somewhere to make it happen. Ring chasing.
Ring chasing. I guess he's ring chasing at home.

Speaker 1 Also, LeBron did.

Speaker 3 Also, the $3 million. Yeah, $3 million.

Speaker 1 Under the apron, second apron.

Speaker 3 But yeah, he could have signed a $270 million contract next summer.

Speaker 1 I feel like this all comes back to the fact that maybe James Dolan is just not around a lot anymore. Because if Jalen Brunson knew James Dolan better, he'd probably be like, fuck that.

Speaker 1 I want all his money. Right? Yeah.
Because

Speaker 1 you can't be like, oh, I'm going to do you a solid James.

Speaker 3 I just think he did it because he might be afraid of getting hurt next year. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 it's an all-time team guy move. And there is.
Obviously, people are like, well, you could have enough money.

Speaker 1 There's definitely that limit. But still, you're an NBA basketball player in the prime of your career, and you don't know if you'll ever make that type of money ever again.

Speaker 1 No one passes that up. It's also New York.
No one does.

Speaker 3 It's also New York. You're going to need that extra like $30 million.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Tom Brady did because he had Giselle.

Speaker 3 Who's Jalen Brunson dating?

Speaker 1 That's what I'm trying to think. It's like a high school sweetheart.

Speaker 3 She must be rich. Oh, his former high school got it.
Okay. For a second, when you let off with high school, you made it sound like.
Yeah, made it sound weird.

Speaker 1 I also don't know if that's 100% true. Okay, well, we'll go with it.
We're not a fact show.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, that was the biggest story to me this weekend. I know that we also had some Euro finals.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's not coming home. Not coming home.
It's never going to come home. It left.
It walked out the door.

Speaker 3 You had empty nest syndrome. It's not coming back.

Speaker 1 England soccer is just ⁇ it's got to be brutal to root for.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I would think so. Gareth Southgate can't win the big one.

Speaker 1 It just, it felt like they were the team of Destiny this year. Well, they were.
The way they were winning. Yep.
And just like they weren't the best team, but they were just finding ways to win games.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 1 Spain, just late, that was like the 86th minute, finishes it off. Some great soccer today.

Speaker 3 They ran out of luck where it was like their game plan this whole tournament was just kind of sleepwalk after the opening whistle, get scored on, and then play really hard and equalize the game, then hope that you can win an extra time or at the end or maybe in PKs.

Speaker 3 And then Spain was the best team, and Yamal is now 17 years old. Oh, he turned 17?

Speaker 3 He He turned 17 like two days ago. Oh, shit.
Which sounds a lot less impressive that a 17-year-old won the Euros.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they should have a 17-year-old. They should have hurried that up.

Speaker 3 Yeah, they should have.

Speaker 1 A 16-year-old got to the final.

Speaker 3 16-year-old got to the final, and then the 17-year-old took over and said, I'll take it from here, little boy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's got it.

Speaker 1 And then the COPA, which is going on right now,

Speaker 1 another sign of we'll never win a soccer tournament because the fans climbing through like the air ducts,

Speaker 1 basically trampling and ruining the escalator in Miami. Those fans, those are real soccer fans.

Speaker 3 And we don't know what's going to happen after the game's over because there are thousands more fans in the stands than there are actual seats. Yeah.
So who knows?

Speaker 3 Apparently, what was happening is people were just going to the seats, and then the tickets were like $1,500, $2,000 to get in. So people that had tickets were going to their seats.

Speaker 3 The seats are occupied, and then security can't do shit about it to kick the people out. So people are just losing seats, losing money.

Speaker 2 Real, Real, you know what?

Speaker 3 This is a real black eye on the Miami Dolphins. Yeah.
The fact that this has never happened at a Dolphins game before, they're not used to having such passionate fans show up early.

Speaker 1 That's true.

Speaker 1 They need to start charging the gates. Yeah,

Speaker 1 the game was delayed like an hour and a half. That's real.
That's real soccer fan. I mean, now

Speaker 1 we have an opening in coaching and no one wants the job.

Speaker 3 Now I want the German Buttfingers guy,

Speaker 3 that low guy, the guy that would stick his hands in his arms and smell him, that real freak. I'm in.
Why not?

Speaker 3 Because it seems like everybody else they're they're talking to is just the same iteration of Greg. Yeah.
Just Greg under a different name, where it's a guy that just kisses U.S.

Speaker 3 Soccer Federation's ass at the time. Jesse Marshall.

Speaker 1 He doesn't want the job.

Speaker 3 Nah, because he's smart. Fuck.
This is why we need to kidnap somebody and force them to be their head coach.

Speaker 1 We're hiring Burr Halter back.

Speaker 1 That would rock.

Speaker 3 At this point, I'm in. Like, fuck it.
Bring him back. Third time's a charm.
Yeah. He's learned his lesson.
Add another G.

Speaker 1 Hank,

Speaker 1 you look like you want to say something about soccer. Well, no, yeah, not really at all about soccer.

Speaker 1 But this is an extremely regional complaint or concern because this is only happening to people in Chicago. But they've had this weather tornado

Speaker 1 full screen for the entire game. Yeah, we got a tornado warning.
Soccer is in like a lower box. We got a tornado warning.
It means it's got to be bad. You got to worry about the tornado.

Speaker 1 Tornadoes don't hit cities, though. That's good.
Like big cities. I think it's something about like the wind or something in the big cities and the buildings

Speaker 1 stopping it. I don't know.
Yeah. All right, let's see.

Speaker 3 Yeah, because you would think that a tornado would hit like Dallas, Oklahoma City

Speaker 3 at some point.

Speaker 1 Hit big cities.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Tornadoes do not hit big cities. False.

Speaker 1 Tornadoes can hit anywhere at any time. Okay, yeah, I just made that up.

Speaker 3 I guess we just haven't had a massive one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I completely made it up.

Speaker 3 Okay. Yeah, I made a list.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 F3 tornado hit the Bank 1 tower in Fort Worth in 2000. 80% of the 35 stories windows were destroyed.
Okay, so I did make that up 100%.

Speaker 1 That was something I just told myself to make myself feel better.

Speaker 1 Tornadoes don't hit big cities.

Speaker 3 I did put together a list of my top five preferred U.S. soccer coaches.
Okay, let me hear it. And this is for Project 2026.
That's what we're calling the World Cup starting now.

Speaker 3 Number one, I still think we can get that Klop guy. Yep.
He rebuffed us, but now we need to rebuff his rebuffle and go back and add a zero to the order and be like, yep, too bad.

Speaker 3 You're joining our team. Number two is Buttfingers, the guy that eats his own boogers.
I think his name's Low, and it's got the umlots on there.

Speaker 1 Pretty cool. Number three, Burhalter again.
Fuck it.

Speaker 3 Number four, I think Dan Campbell could do it, actually.

Speaker 1 Absolutely.

Speaker 3 Because what we need is we need passion out of our players. I think Dan Campbell will figure soccer out.
And then number five is anybody except Alexei Lollis.

Speaker 1 I think that's fair as well. I think we can make that happen.
I like that as well.

Speaker 1 Here's why I thought this. Maybe even Dan Hurley.
Dan Hurley. Dan Hurley is great.
He said that he'd be a better football coach. than basketball coach.
You think so? No, he said that. Let him do both.

Speaker 1 He said that he thinks he was born to be a football coach, which he could do. Yeah.
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 Okay. What else do we got? Oh, Wimbledon happened.
Jokovich might be old.

Speaker 3 Well, Spain happened today. Spain did happen.
Spanish Sunday. We had Alcatraz.

Speaker 1 Yep. One Wimbledon.
Ah. Crushed Jokovich.
He's 16 years younger. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Still crushed him, though.

Speaker 1 I think he crushed straight sets. I just pretended that match didn't happen.

Speaker 3 And then Spain won, and also Sergio Garcia won the live event.

Speaker 1 Just threw himself in there.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Yeah, Sergio, what was his tweet today? He's like, we have the opportunity to make this the biggest sports day ever for Spain now that I've won.

Speaker 1 After Yay said, if the soccer team wins tonight, it will be one of the biggest days in Spanish sports history.

Speaker 1 He's the dragon meme. Like

Speaker 1 Spain winning the Euros, Alcaraz winning Wimbledon, and then Sergio looking all goofy, being like live event wherever it was. Yeah, the big three.

Speaker 3 Triple Crown. They did it.

Speaker 1 Who would have thought Spain would do that?

Speaker 3 I do feel bad for British sports fans, though.

Speaker 3 I love the fact that you can set your watch to certain things in sports.

Speaker 3 You can count on certain heartbreak and misery, but it looks sad when the shirtless hooligans are walking out of the stadium, holding their heads in shame after they gave so many great chants to the Germans.

Speaker 1 They're the Buffalo Bills. They are.
They are. It's sad, but it's the truth, right? Is there a pit in England?

Speaker 1 I don't know. I am watching this one video of this guy.
He's doing,

Speaker 1 he's traveling the River Thames from source to sea. Okay.
Every day he updates it.

Speaker 3 Is he like on a boat?

Speaker 1 He started walking. Now he's on a kayak.
He's a really cool guy. Yeah, he probably.

Speaker 1 He got fraud alert, though, because he was like, I'm not leaving the river. And then like day three, he's like, thank you so much to the people who let me stay at their house today.

Speaker 1 And then he had to correct himself. He's like, look, I am sleeping other places.
But yeah, it's cool. He's doing it.

Speaker 1 Source to see.

Speaker 3 If you do that, you got to just, you got to either be in a canoe the entire time or you have to walk the entire time.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, he's got that. He's like one of those chipper English guys that's just very happy who probably doesn't even watch soccer.
That's why he's got a completely different personality

Speaker 1 than all the other English guys. But yeah, he's, I don't know, I somehow got that in my algorithm.
I'm following him. He's going source to see.

Speaker 3 Liz. Check him out.
He's in a box, in a box, in a box.

Speaker 1 Liz, he's in a box, in a box.

Speaker 3 Remember when we delayed our kickoff for NFL week one because Queen Elizabeth died? That was disgusting. That was crazy.
What was the point of the Revolutionary War?

Speaker 1 That was nuts.

Speaker 3 And we should never have to do that.

Speaker 1 We should never, ever have to do that.

Speaker 1 Okay, what else we got in the sports world?

Speaker 1 It's All-Star Break.

Speaker 3 All-Star Break, Christian Yelich not competing in the home run derby.

Speaker 1 I'm nervous about this because I texted him asking him, and he was like,

Speaker 1 he said, let's just call him real quick because I'm nervous that he's going to somehow compete in the home run derby. He's got to say that he's not going to do it ever.
Is he...

Speaker 1 Do we have a Dingers-only update for All-Star Break?

Speaker 3 I am in second to last place. I'm beating Jerry by two.

Speaker 1 Oh, nice.

Speaker 3 I don't know who's ahead of us.

Speaker 1 If he doesn't pick up, we'll just cut this.

Speaker 1 Hey,

Speaker 1 Christian.

Speaker 1 Hey,

Speaker 1 Big Cat, pardon my take here. You're live to take.

Speaker 1 Please. Could you confirm that you are not competing in Monday's home run derby?

Speaker 1 I can confirm I'm not competing in this year's home run run.

Speaker 1 Okay, I now

Speaker 1 the future though. Yeah, so what why are you not competing this year?

Speaker 1 I just feel like you've had a tough year so far. I would give you a break.

Speaker 1 Okay, all right, so but but then you you are you are making a pledge right now to compete at some point in the future in the home run derby?

Speaker 1 That's the plan, I think. That'd be a good goal to have, don't you think? Uh, no, I think that's a terrible goal.
You're not getting younger, dude.

Speaker 1 I'm not, so it's gonna have to happen, ASAP, I think.

Speaker 3 Okay. Hey, Christian, PFT comments are here from part of my take.
You live to tape on the podcast.

Speaker 3 Can you confirm the sources that are saying that you were scared to compete in this year's home run derby?

Speaker 1 This is some big J journalism out here from you guys.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Are you scared? Are you afraid of home runs?

Speaker 1 No, I think, like I said, you guys have had a tough year and I felt it was only right to give y'all a break. And

Speaker 1 you are right about the age thing. I think we're going to have to get it done here in the near future

Speaker 1 when we do it. Not if we do it, but when we do it.
Okay, I don't like that.

Speaker 1 Happy birthday, by the way. You're 37 years old tomorrow?

Speaker 1 I think so. Okay, all right, we're going to start the rumor that he's really old.
That way he can't compete. Okay, Christian, have fun.

Speaker 1 You're an all-star, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. I'll just be watching the derby tomorrow, but

Speaker 1 I'll be thinking of you guys the whole time. You're 100% not competing, correct?

Speaker 1 100%, not this year. All right, I'm still nervous that he's going to be like, ha ha, just kidding, I'm competing.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Hey, Christian, were you upset when nobody took you in the Dingers-only draft?

Speaker 1 Yeah, were you upset about the Dingers-only draft?

Speaker 1 You know, I didn't see the Dingers-only draft, but I heard about the Dingers-only draft. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So that's going to be another reason why we're going to have to compete in the Derby at this point.
Okay. All right.
Okay. All right.
Well, Christian, have fun at the All-Star Break.

Speaker 1 You're having a great year.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 hopefully this isn't your last good year.

Speaker 1 Let's hope not. Yeah, that'll be a shame.

Speaker 1 I'll probably see y'all in Chicago here in a few weeks. Okay.

Speaker 1 We can hash it out then. Perfect.
Perfect. Don't ruin your swing.
All right. See ya.

Speaker 1 There you go.

Speaker 1 Thank God.

Speaker 3 Okay. That's good.

Speaker 1 Confirmed not. Because I was still nervous that there was like one slot open and he was going to just slide in, but he really thinks he's going to do it at some point.

Speaker 3 I don't think so. I think that one year, the year after we made that bet, that was the danger year for us, where he got hurt right before the home run derby.
That would have been really bad. Yeah.

Speaker 3 But now, I'm not even going to wax. Yeah.
I was thinking about waxing just to

Speaker 3 was be a good teammate. You were thinking about waxing? I was thinking about wiping.
No, waxing and wiping.

Speaker 1 Okay. Showering.

Speaker 1 I won't wipe.

Speaker 1 Okay. Any other sports stories before we do who's back?

Speaker 3 Marty Fish won the American guy. Marty Fish, our guy, AWL.
Marty, he might be listening to this.

Speaker 1 Dude, Marty Fish, we got to get him on.

Speaker 1 He already listened to him. He already listened to it.
Marty Fish, we have to get him on. Legend, we met him in Tahoe.
He's an AWL.

Speaker 1 He came up to us.

Speaker 1 It was, what, Wednesday morning? Yep. And I was like, oh, good to finally meet you.

Speaker 1 David Wells actually mentioned you on the show today. He's like, yeah, I know, I listened.
It was like 9 in the morning. He'd already listened.
Marty. He's been out for maybe four hours.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 He is a true AWO.

Speaker 1 Marty Fucking Florida.

Speaker 3 He's been ride or die with us for a long time. So very cool to see him win.
He's a great golfer. Great.
He's actually a really, really good golfer. Good tennis player, even better golfer.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And we had

Speaker 1 Thielen, who we had on, came close. Joe Powelski Badger was second.

Speaker 1 A-Rod was second to last.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I think he was last. I think Alex Rodriguez finished in dead last.

Speaker 1 I think Blake Griffin did pretty well. Josh Allen's a good golfer.
He got good. He's legit.

Speaker 3 Much better than he was at the match.

Speaker 1 Yeah. All those guys, too.
It's funny. Who's out there?

Speaker 3 Oh, no, Messi's crying.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, no. Oh, he's out? No.
Did he get hurt? He was a tornado warning he's worried about.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it looked like a hamstring. That's not good for Messi.

Speaker 1 Who hurt Messi?

Speaker 3 I think he just ran.

Speaker 1 This is a bad day for my

Speaker 1 bad day for my.

Speaker 3 All your goats are dying.

Speaker 1 Hamas took him out. Hamas took him out? Okay.

Speaker 3 That's how Hank pronounces Homas. Hames?

Speaker 3 James.

Speaker 1 Oh, you're actually talking about a real person. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Got it.

Speaker 3 LeBron Hamas.

Speaker 1 There's a player on Columbia. Jaime?

Speaker 3 No, you're thinking of that guy in England that's going from the river to the sea.

Speaker 1 They said his name on the broadcast. Jaime Rodriguez.
Hamas.

Speaker 3 Hamas. It's Hamas Rodriguez.

Speaker 1 Hamas Rodriguez. This is a cool way to say James.

Speaker 3 Hank pronounces it Hamas.

Speaker 1 LeBron Hamas? Yeah.

Speaker 1 His name's James? Yeah. Spelled James.
I heard the announcement. I think it's spelled James.

Speaker 3 No, it's spelled James. Oh, it is.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Hamas. LeBron Hamas.
Kind of a place. Hamas.

Speaker 1 Okay. Let's do who's back, and then we have a great Mount Rushmore

Speaker 1 for everyone.

Speaker 3 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 3 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boars Head premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 3 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 3 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Hank.

Speaker 1 My who's back of the week is Petty Wars. Okay.

Speaker 1 So Angel Reese had a double-double streak going. She was at 15.

Speaker 1 And then today she was playing the Liberty.

Speaker 1 And the game before, I think she had like four rebounds in the last two minutes.

Speaker 1 Kind of stat padding. Four stat padding.

Speaker 1 So today she had eight points, 16 rebounds. They were giving her the ball at the end of the game, and the Liberty were quadruple teaming her.
The videos and pictures are very funny.

Speaker 1 They just said, we're not letting the record happen on our watch.

Speaker 3 No easy buckets. Petty Wars.
Yeah. And she's kind of outed herself as a broke girl because she was talking about all the guys that keep asking her to fly them out for games.

Speaker 3 And she's like, I'm not flying any guys out for games. I guess she doesn't have it like that.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 The stat padding is crazy. Angel Reese is a good basketball player.
I'm a Chicago Sky fan.

Speaker 1 It is insane that anyone thinks that Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are on the same level in playing basketball.

Speaker 1 Angel Reese is so much better. Yeah, she went head to head.
Caitlin Clark is so much better than Angel Reese.

Speaker 3 But she got another 20 and 10 game. It's crazy.
Now, the rumor out there is that Diana Taurasi is going to have to back out of the Olympics, and then Caitlin Clark would be the next person brought in.

Speaker 1 Okay. Flyer out there.
That would be cool. They're going to fly Caitlin Clark out.
That would be cool. Have they decided who's going to be...
Is it Derek White officially? Yeah. I was there.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. When do they start?

Speaker 1 Was it two weeks?

Speaker 3 Olympics? I think it's in, yeah, end of July. I want to say July 26th is opening ceremony.

Speaker 1 I saw Jokic versus Wemby was yesterday or the day before.

Speaker 1 It's so funny watching. Like, Jokic looks like he's six feet tall.
Yeah. I'm going to say right now, I will not,

Speaker 1 I'm not okay with just a gold medal. I want domination.
I want utter domination.

Speaker 1 I'm going to put it out there. I will not be celebrating a gold medal if we win the semifinals.
If the semifinals or the finals games are within 10 points,

Speaker 1 either of them.

Speaker 1 I will not be celebrating this gold medal.

Speaker 3 I want to see domination like the original dream team. That's the status.
Yes. Where you don't use a timeout at all.

Speaker 1 yeah i want i want to see that type of move them down by the way so uh the dingers only which we briefly touched on uh actually max is in last place oh with 12.

Speaker 1 wow uh brandon's got 24 i have 20 hank has 16 jerry has 15 pft 14 max 12. okay that's tough

Speaker 1 okay max

Speaker 3 long season what if you drafted trey turner though I would have been doing much better.

Speaker 1 I was planning on drafting Trey Turner until Gunner Henderson fell to me. What about if you had drafted Christian Yelich?

Speaker 1 Or Schwarber? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know math.

Speaker 1 Okay. You hate your boys.
Bad math. Okay.

Speaker 3 PFT, your Who's Back? My Who's Back of the Week is also Olympic-related.

Speaker 3 Breakdancing is back. Yeah.
Did you guys know that break dancing is a sport in the 2024 Olympics?

Speaker 1 I think it was in the last Olympics, too.

Speaker 3 I don't think so. I think this is the first time.
Oh, really? Yeah, I think this is the inaugural season for break dancing at the Olympics.

Speaker 3 That one, if we don't win golden breakdancing, then I'm out on the USA.

Speaker 1 I could see some other country being nasty.

Speaker 3 No,

Speaker 3 no, we can't lose break dancing.

Speaker 3 We need a clean sweep in break dancing. I can't wait to see how it's judged, how it's scored, what kind of music they're allowed to use.

Speaker 3 I'm very excited for break dancing. Yeah, I'm on.
Are they b-boys? Is that what they call them?

Speaker 1 These guys just flop all like

Speaker 1 every two seconds. There's just breaks in the action.
These guys are dead, and then they hop right up.

Speaker 1 Come on, Hank. Have some passion for soccer.
No. It's the best.
Yeah, no, they do flop. Oh, that was a real.
No, that was a fun. No, because the Argentina guy flopped.

Speaker 1 It's always funny when the one guy who, the guy who looks like he should be injured, doesn't flop, and the other guy does.

Speaker 3 It was great earlier, too, because Messi got fouled when he was in the box, and

Speaker 3 he rolled out of bounds, and then he realized he was out of bounds, and then rolled three times to get back in bounds. Because that way they had to stop the play.

Speaker 3 They had to bring the trainers out onto the pitch.

Speaker 1 You got to do what you got to do. That's gamesmanship.
Yeah. Anyone else, I would have called it foul.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Hank, do you have any comment about breakdancing?

Speaker 1 I don't know that the U.S. is a favorite.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 No, dude. I feel like Japan might sneaky be nice.

Speaker 1 I don't know. There's some other countries that probably are really good at breakdancing.
Italy? Yeah, isn't there... No, that's...
There's like a subculture in Japan that has like, they all look like

Speaker 1 1950s, like the greasers, like Fonzie. Oh, yeah? That's not break dancing, but still that's swing dancing.
There's got to be something else like a gap commercial that's in the break dancing.

Speaker 3 I could see South American countries being good. Really, Asia, all of Asia, I think, could put up a fight in breakdancing.
Yeah. But we have to.

Speaker 3 Or those Russian dancers, the ones that bend their knees and get real low, those dudes could probably break dance.

Speaker 1 You know, breakdancing is called B-boying?

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's what I said. I thought that's what it was.
They're like B-boys.

Speaker 1 B-boys are doing it. Are they B-girls?

Speaker 3 B-Women?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 B-women. For sure.
There's got to be female breakdancing as well.

Speaker 1 Korea, Netherlands, Japan, Britain, France, Russia, Ukraine, USA.

Speaker 3 We can't lose to anybody.

Speaker 1 I feel like Japan's going to be

Speaker 1 on Japan if there's odds.

Speaker 3 You think Ukraine's got it like that?

Speaker 1 Yeah, they might.

Speaker 1 They might.

Speaker 1 Okay, my who's back. I have two.
One is Jerry Rice. Did you guys see him at the American Century Classic? Come on, just beat the shit out of a reporter.
So

Speaker 1 a Chiefs reporter, a Kansas City reporter, basically asked if the Chiefs have a good enough wide receiver core to win a Super Bowl,

Speaker 3 which

Speaker 1 innocuous question, but could be trolling. Jerry Rice was basically like, you want to start something? Like, I'll fucking, I'm about this, and challenge him to a fight.

Speaker 1 And then afterwards, said, told the question, was like, but he was clearly trolling.

Speaker 1 I love this from Jerry Rice because a guy going that ride or die with your franchise so far after you played is so awesome.

Speaker 3 That's the best. Goal Argentina.
Yep. Offsides, Argentina.

Speaker 1 Offsides should be taken out of sight.

Speaker 1 There should be no offsides.

Speaker 3 No, I do like that.

Speaker 3 Why does Jerry Rice have a rivalry with the Chiefs?

Speaker 1 They've beaten him twice in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 Was it about that or was it

Speaker 3 going back to his playing days?

Speaker 1 No, I think they beat him twice in the Super Bowl. Like, that's he's so ride or die Niner gang.
Like, I fucking love that.

Speaker 3 I respect that then.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I do. And awesome.

Speaker 1 I gained a lot of respect for Jerry Rice this week because I found that he was staying at margaritaville yeah he was with the boys which dude likes to get after it yeah that margaritaville rocks uh my other who's back is the espies i had no idea they happened yeah it was fun the highlights i saw were um

Speaker 1 serena williams making fun of harrison butker

Speaker 1 um and

Speaker 1 and drake and then uh

Speaker 1 Lamar Jackson winning play of the year for his pass to himself in the second quarter of a game he lost

Speaker 3 a home favorite that was funny what were the other nominees for play of the year was it just a bad year of plays?

Speaker 1 Drew Tranquil's

Speaker 1 tackle on Lamar Jackson was a better play. Yeah, he was scored.

Speaker 1 In that play. Or how about Sneed's forced fumble? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Those were better plays in that game.

Speaker 3 Yeah,

Speaker 3 it was a very underwhelming play-to-win play of the year, but stay woke. That's probably how ESPN gets people talking about the Espys.
True.

Speaker 1 Yeah, also, we had Steve Gleason, who's a hero. Loves Steve Gleason, who's been battling ALS for a long time.

Speaker 1 They did, he said, I should have been dead dead years ago, and then the camera cut right to DeMar Hamlin. Oh, no.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Oh, no. It's crazy.

Speaker 3 The one thing that the Esps are great for every year is when I know they're on, I don't watch them, but what I do is I go to YouTube and I watch Norm McDonald's introductory roast that he did at the Esps.

Speaker 3 They definitely. And that's awesome.

Speaker 1 That was not the normal time of the Espes.

Speaker 1 They slipped it in on a Thursday when no one was expecting it.

Speaker 3 I think that's what they do every year. I think you never expect it.

Speaker 1 But yeah, the play of the year. That was quite something.

Speaker 1 Speaking of which, the takeies,

Speaker 1 because

Speaker 1 ESPN has decided we used to run the takeies opposite of the Espes,

Speaker 1 we are going to run the Takees the last week of July. So get ready.

Speaker 3 AWL is being your best behavior.

Speaker 1 That will be when we run the Takees, and you guys are up for eight time?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Eight time?

Speaker 1 Nine?

Speaker 3 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 9. Nine? Nine Pete.

Speaker 1 Guys, suck at math. I hate.
Why is it so hard to count years?

Speaker 3 Because you have to count the first one. Because we did it year one.

Speaker 1 That's true. Nine times?

Speaker 3 Yeah, there was no year zero.

Speaker 1 We've been doing that. What are we going to do for a decade?

Speaker 1 Live show.

Speaker 1 No, that's

Speaker 1 no fucking.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
You're crazy.

Speaker 3 Live show.

Speaker 1 You're crazy, Hank. Fuck that.
You're crazy, but yeah.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we should.

Speaker 1 A decade.

Speaker 1 What about when this show is old enough to drive?

Speaker 1 That's going to be crazy.

Speaker 1 Think about that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Any other who's backs? Some good who's backs, boys. Let's do our Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 3 Jordan Addison's back.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Did he...

Speaker 3 DUI? Apparently, he was parked

Speaker 3 in the left lane of a highway next to LAX. Oof.
And so this is the same Jordan Addison that I think was driving 140 miles an hour last year.

Speaker 1 Oof.

Speaker 3 And so this time, make up your mind, California Highway Patrol, do you want your guy driving 140 miles miles an hour or zero miles per hour?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Because it seems like he can't do anything. Jordan Addison can't exist.

Speaker 1 Dang, you should get a Jordan Addison jersey.

Speaker 3 We're about to find out how many DUIs or how many times drunk driving Kevin O'Connell has under his belt. Why is that? To see what the suspension is like for him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true. If he's

Speaker 3 thousands of times.

Speaker 1 By the way, we have, I believe the Bears are the first. Who are the Bears playing in the Hall of Fame game? I should know this.

Speaker 1 The Bears are reporting to camp today.

Speaker 3 That's crazy. So,

Speaker 1 football is so, so close to being back.

Speaker 1 They are playing the

Speaker 1 Texans. That's right.
Texans.

Speaker 1 Who's getting

Speaker 1 to the Hall of Fame for the Texans? The Texans?

Speaker 3 I don't know. Not Arian.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 That was mean. That was mean.
I'm sorry. That was mean.

Speaker 3 Andre Johnson.

Speaker 3 Andre Johnson. Is he? He's going in, yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, there you go. By the way, we should actually mention a couple sad losses.
We lost Jacoby Jones. Yeah.
That was very sad. And what are you looking at me, or Max for? Jacoby Jones passed away.

Speaker 1 Raven legend. Obviously, the incredible catch

Speaker 1 in Denver and the kick return in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 And then Monty Kiffen. All-time football guy.
So we've had a string of deaths. Yeah.
Really sad.

Speaker 3 Tampa 2 defense architect Monty Kiffen.

Speaker 3 Jacoby Jones also had that iconic play where Mike Tomlin tried to trip him on the sidelines.

Speaker 1 Remember that?

Speaker 3 Where he accidentally stepped on the field on purpose? Yeah, really sad.

Speaker 1 I think he was 40. I just gave that look because I didn't know that.
Yeah. That was breaking news to me.
Yeah. Yeah.
Very sad. And then Shannon Doherty, too.
Oh, really? 2-1-0. Yeah.
Damn.

Speaker 1 Happened like a flurry. It was a tough weekend.
I know.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 You know what?

Speaker 3 No, I was about to say something crazy.

Speaker 3 Should we just be an anti-death podcast?

Speaker 1 Well, we have the Still Alive Person of the Year award, which we just gave Jimmy Carter another three weeks. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Jimmy Carter's never going to die.

Speaker 1 He's never going to die.

Speaker 1 What? He just doesn't wake up some days. That's totally different than dying.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. Let's do our Mount Rush more before we get to Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 5 The Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 5 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 5 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 1 Okay, Mount Rushmore

Speaker 1 of video games in honor of EA College Football coming back. But before we do that, we have tasked ourselves with coming up with Mount Rushmore

Speaker 1 punishments. that we are going to then decide for and then pick out of a hat.
Yep. So boys, do we have them?

Speaker 3 I've got some, yeah.

Speaker 1 I've got a couple.

Speaker 3 I got two. I brought two of them to the plate.

Speaker 1 I brought four, but two of them are really bad. Hank, how many do you have? One.

Speaker 3 Max, you got two? Memes, how many do you have?

Speaker 1 Memes has got one. Memes has one.

Speaker 3 Memes have one. All right.
How do we want to start this?

Speaker 1 Can't watch a single NBA game or highlight until January 1st.

Speaker 3 Can't watch highlights.

Speaker 1 How do you please the highlights?

Speaker 1 Or a sports podcast. I don't like that either.
It was because Bulls and the Wizards are going to be taking.

Speaker 1 It is going to be bad basketball, yeah.

Speaker 1 You literally cannot see a second of NBA until January 1st.

Speaker 1 I don't like that one. Okay, all right.
We'll keep working.

Speaker 1 Was that one of your good ones or your bad ones? That was one of my bad ones. Okay, okay, good.
I was hoping that was a bad one.

Speaker 3 I have a bad one and a good one. My bad one, you have to be locked in a dog crate for 12 hours.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God, that's bad. On Mitt Romney's car?

Speaker 3 Yeah, and then driven around town. Okay.

Speaker 1 I had coach seat middle

Speaker 1 for the rest of the year for an entire year. Every time we take a trip, that'd be bad.
That'd be really bad.

Speaker 1 Bad, but for the viewers. Yeah, there's really no.
That was my other bad one. I have

Speaker 1 two ones that are good for the viewers. One is almost impossible.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I have two viewer ones. Okay, here's my first viewer one.
Loser has to build a full-size Chevy Silverado out of Legos.

Speaker 1 I looked it up. It takes like

Speaker 1 days and days and days. Okay.

Speaker 1 That's not bad. I mean, it would be pretty bad.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but it's not a bad punishment. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Mine was you have to make a TikTok every day until you get 100 million likes. Whoa,

Speaker 1 okay.

Speaker 3 TikTok a day.

Speaker 1 Wait, 100 million likes, like total? Or

Speaker 1 a lot of likes. No, total.
So it's like you can go viral a couple times. Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay. I don't think you can.

Speaker 1 Now, does this have anything to do with the fact that you're in last place and you've kept on saying, muttering under your breath this past week, I got to get my TikTok popping off?

Speaker 1 No, I'm just thinking. Do you mean like

Speaker 3 you mean on your personal TikTok?

Speaker 1 It can be on the PMT one.

Speaker 3 So, for reference, memes, how many likes does our biggest TikTok have?

Speaker 3 Our biggest post?

Speaker 1 Let me pull it up. Okay.
100 million is also like, we could change the number. That seems like a lot, yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Yeah, no, the whole account has 97.4 million likes.

Speaker 1 The whole

Speaker 3 100 million seems like a lot.

Speaker 1 I ain't just wanting to say, hey, I'll get off. Okay.
All right. So is that one going in the hat?

Speaker 1 I think that would be, because it would be miserable. It would be good for the viewers.

Speaker 3 But what are the, so what, if you don't get that many likes, what's the punishment?

Speaker 1 You have to keep making punchducks every day. Yeah, what's the punishment if you get...

Speaker 1 You can't stop. Soul patch?

Speaker 1 If you miss a day?

Speaker 1 I guess, yeah. Well, PFT would choose to do a soul patch.
Okay. Would I?

Speaker 1 Soul patch if you miss a day.

Speaker 3 Why would I choose to do a soul patch? I don't know.

Speaker 1 You do weird shit with your facial hair all the time. It's true.
Okay. We can modify it in PFT.

Speaker 3 Our most liked one is 1.4 million.

Speaker 1 Okay. Soul patch if you miss a day, though, Hank.
Because I think you would miss a day.

Speaker 1 I think we need to work. The number is a lot.
Memes have been doing this.

Speaker 1 He's been pushing a page on a punch. I like it.
It should be a punishment. He's a punishment a day for

Speaker 1 years.

Speaker 1 It's got to be a punishment. So it's called 50.
But even 50 is

Speaker 1 so many.

Speaker 1 Hey, it's a punishment. No one wants to do a punishment.
All right.

Speaker 1 PFT, what's your real one?

Speaker 3 That you have to make a swimsuit calendar and be a ring girl at Rough and Rowdy.

Speaker 1 Oh, I like that. Yeah.
I like that a lot. Compete.

Speaker 3 You have to compete in the ring girl competition, too. Okay.
And then the swimsuit calendar is obviously like the ring girl.

Speaker 1 I like that a lot. Yeah.
I like that too. Okay.
Max?

Speaker 1 I have two. The first one, you have to lock in a room room and get a nine-darter.
Oh,

Speaker 1 man. I like that.
What's the nine-darter again?

Speaker 1 100. You have to get 501, but it's three triple 20s.

Speaker 1 There's different combinations. Yeah,

Speaker 1 but

Speaker 3 that seems hard.

Speaker 1 Nine-darter.

Speaker 1 Okay, mine was similar, but it was. That would be impossible.

Speaker 1 Break LeBron's all-time scoring record.

Speaker 1 40,000 points.

Speaker 3 Okay, so like

Speaker 3 20,000 shots.

Speaker 1 You'd have to do it. You couldn't just stand underneath and shoot layups.
Like, we would break it down. We'd have Kirk Goldsbury get us the exact breakdown.

Speaker 1 You have to hit every range, three-pointers, free throws, and dunks would obviously be. Maybe we get a trampoline and you have to do dunks.
Yeah, I like that. I like that.
The dunks would be funny.

Speaker 3 Maybe we'd lower the rim for the dunks. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I think you have to dunk, too.
Yeah. Because that would take a long-ass time and it would be a funny stream.

Speaker 3 We think like an eight-foot rim?

Speaker 1 Yeah, we'd wheel it in an eight-foot rim, so you'd have a dunking rim. Yeah.
And you'd just have to go like, we could actually get Goldsbury to probably break it down year by year.

Speaker 1 Well, Hank will be able to use a normal rim by soon.

Speaker 1 It would take a long ass time. I mean, how many threes has he made?

Speaker 1 LeBron's threes. All right.
And then.

Speaker 1 So wait, that's... And then memes.
You have one?

Speaker 1 He's hit 2,400

Speaker 1 threes. Okay.

Speaker 3 That would take forever. Really long time.
What about... Okay, so one of the other bad ones I had had that I just kind of forgot about until just now.

Speaker 3 Do you think we could get a cast? Like a doctor would put a cast on us. Oh, yeah,

Speaker 1 actually.

Speaker 3 So, like, get your right hand in a cast for, I don't know, two weeks?

Speaker 1 My friend Dr. Dan.

Speaker 3 Sounds legit.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 well, he actually did this. This was his Yak challenge once.
He put a cast on Roan. Roan had to have a cast for an entire week.

Speaker 3 That's right. Yeah, yeah.
I forgot about that.

Speaker 1 But Dr. Dan hit me up and he said,

Speaker 1 what he said? You could do a full cast, full body cast for an entire Sunday, would be pretty funny. Yeah,

Speaker 1 or for a week, yeah, you cast your legs and your hands.

Speaker 3 Yeah, both legs in a cast would be funny.

Speaker 1 Both hands, both arms.

Speaker 1 That would be pretty good for an entire week. I think we should throw that in there.
I also like the idea, maybe like

Speaker 1 having to read a script, like a screenplay of a really long movie and act out all the characters. Ooh, that would make you

Speaker 1 like that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I also had another one of a disc golf hole in

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 I love that.

Speaker 1 Okay, so we got some good ones that we put in the hat. So we're going to put...
Wait, memes, what was yours?

Speaker 3 A loser has to complete the dune hike in Michigan.

Speaker 1 I saw this on TikTok yesterday.

Speaker 1 That looks miserable. You have to go up the dune? Yes.
Do you know what that is? Yeah, I know the dunes, but how.

Speaker 1 Max, pull it up. It looks.

Speaker 1 I went through like a TikTok rabbit hole of this. Okay, so, all right, so we have fully going going into the hat, PFT's Ring Girl, my LeBron points with dunks,

Speaker 1 the

Speaker 1 cast. Should we do the cast?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Throw the cast.

Speaker 3 Should we go both arms and both legs, or should we go both arms, both legs for a week?

Speaker 3 I think it would be better if it was either only arms or only legs, because if it's arms and legs, you can't get around.

Speaker 1 All right, so a person gets to decide. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Hank's TikTok one, which Hank just throw your own TikTok, dude.

Speaker 3 You know what, Hank? You can do that. Yeah, you can do that right now.

Speaker 1 You wouldn't want to do it. That's why you don't want to do it.
Yeah, no, that's why I put it in there. Yeah.
It counts. And then the nine-darter.

Speaker 1 And then the Dune Hike.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 The nine-darter might be the hardest thing ever. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Those will all be in a hat, and the loser of Mount Rushmore will have to pull it out. Maybe we can do...

Speaker 1 Maybe we could do... I think

Speaker 1 the details might change, but what we pull out of the hat will be the thing. Yeah.
Like, we may have to do some stipulations for some of them. Yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 1 But those will all be the things in the hat. Right.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I like it. Okay.
I like it. We all brought one.

Speaker 1 There's ones that you clearly wouldn't want to do. And then.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I'll say this too. When we do the hat, so there'll be like five or six things.

Speaker 1 I think you're allowed

Speaker 1 a veto, but you have to say it before you pull it.

Speaker 3 Which one you don't want?

Speaker 1 Yeah. No, no, no.
You have to say veto before you pull it.

Speaker 3 Oh, veto, like I'm pre-vetoing.

Speaker 1 Yes. Yes, yes.
Okay. Yes.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So let's do the Mount Rushmore today. Mount Rushmore video games in honor of EA College Football.
Best video games ever.

Speaker 1 In honor of EA College Football being back. We streamed it tonight.
It was incredible.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it was the best. The game is back in our lives.
It feels good. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Doug's, we decided a new team for Dougs. So I'm going to stream 7.30 Central on all of our channels tonight, Monday night.
and I'm going to be the OC of Washington State. So the Pac 2.

Speaker 1 It's going to be electric.

Speaker 1 But let's do this. What is the order?

Speaker 3 So I'm going first, right? Because Max went first in sandwiches.

Speaker 1 What's the standings two memes?

Speaker 1 I think I'm last, yeah. Say the standings.
No, but yeah, no. It'll be PFT, Big Cat, and Hank me.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure that's what it is. What was that, Hank? Under your breath? Another person's on the ground.

Speaker 3 Oh, and talk. Another person's on the ground.

Speaker 1 Also, for all the heat last week, you beat me by 1%

Speaker 1 in Sandwich's PFT. Oh, yeah, we should say too, because there was

Speaker 1 the guy, PMT Stats and Info, does a great job of calculating and following along. Shout out to him.
He's an awesome AWL.

Speaker 1 Memes screwed up the poll, and he said it for 24 hours. So we watched it, and three hours is what we've been setting it for, so we called it final after three hours.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 But I don't think anything changed. No, I won't.

Speaker 1 No, it did. I won Sandwich, but then

Speaker 1 he won the three hours, but I won the 24. 24.

Speaker 1 We agreed on it. We agreed on it.
We agreed on it.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 my list was good. Okay, Hank.

Speaker 3 I don't know why you felt the need to come at me, Hank. We're just in a positive bigger.

Speaker 1 You're bigger sample size, so you could argue that.

Speaker 3 Now you're just being a jerk about it, Hank.

Speaker 1 Oh, it was just a fun fact. A little note.
What was a fun fact? I got a lot of heat and PFT only beaten by 1%.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you tell you what? I'm happy with my sandwich draft.

Speaker 3 I looked at it and I was like, that is, to me, a perfect draft. Same.
Stayed true to myself.

Speaker 1 Same. Okay, so memes, what are the standings? Big Cat, 18.
Max, 18.

Speaker 3 PFT, 13.

Speaker 1 Hank, 11.

Speaker 3 Interesting.

Speaker 1 Someone did note Max, unfortunately for us. They're like, no shit, Max and Big Cat are in the lead.
They've done

Speaker 1 two food drafts in worse places to shit. Yep.

Speaker 1 Yep. Touche.
We've done other ones. Touche.
You guys. It was just this past week.

Speaker 3 Fastballs grooved down the middle at you.

Speaker 1 All right, so this one, video games, I'm going to say right now, PFT and I might be at a disadvantage because I have not played video games for a long time.

Speaker 1 We'll see how the voting goes. I mean, this is Hank.
This is Hank right now.

Speaker 1 I did a brain dump of all my favorite video games, and there are very few that are recent. But we're going to do it.
All right, so who's, what's the order?

Speaker 3 I go first, then Big Cat, then Hank.

Speaker 1 I'm second? Yep. Shit.

Speaker 1 And we agreed if you take a franchise, you get the whole franchise.

Speaker 1 Not years. You can pick a specific year, but

Speaker 1 yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 But if you pick a specific game, no one else can pick something from that franchise. Correct.
Yes.

Speaker 3 Okay. First off the board, I'm going Grand Theft Auto.
Okay. GTA.
Classic game. Reinvented game.

Speaker 3 Badass game.

Speaker 3 Every release that they have, it's all you played for the next like two, three months. You can do anything in that game.
Fantastic.

Speaker 1 Great pick. Good pick.
Definitely on my list.

Speaker 1 Okay, I will go

Speaker 1 with something more recent, but I've played it for 20 years now because I remember playing it in like 05, 06.

Speaker 1 I'll go with Call of Duty. Yep.
Call of Duty is just a timeless. Whenever they come out with a new one, and it has everything.
You can play the story mode. Obviously, playing online is awesome.

Speaker 1 I was playing online Call of Duty in 06, I want to say. Fucking rocked.
So much fun.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 Hank. I will go with a Timeless Classic, Mario Kart.
Good pick. Great pick.
Great pick, Hank. Probably the game.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 I was trying to think of the games I've spent the most time playing, and that one's definitely up there because you play when you're a kid, you play it when you're older, Birio Kart.

Speaker 1 You know, it's just, it's a Timeless Classic. Yep.
What's Birio Kart? It's when you... Drink while you're playing.
You start the race, and you have to finish a beer before you finish.

Speaker 1 And you can't

Speaker 1 drive while you're drinking.

Speaker 3 So it's only when you like spin out?

Speaker 1 No, you have to pace yourself. It's like you have to stop, drink.
So you have to drink as fast as you can, and then also race. Got it.
Okay. We used to play up in my friend's loft just

Speaker 1 hours and hours and hours. That's awesome.

Speaker 3 You play that in Stillwater, too.

Speaker 1 Great, great pick, Hank. Thank you.
Favorite Mario Kart is N64. Yeah.
Yeah. Although

Speaker 1 during COVID, I played the new Mario Kart on the

Speaker 1 I know Switch. Yes.
It's also very fun. Dude, I played

Speaker 1 for hours. Fourth of July.
I played my son and his friend. So it was just me versus some five-year-olds.
And like the best feeling ever because

Speaker 1 not my son, but his friend was like, have you ever played this before? And I was like, yeah, buddy. And he was like, I'll probably beat you.

Speaker 3 And I fucking killed him.

Speaker 1 Killed him. Still, I was drifting.
I was doing everything. Still came back to me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're five, but still felt awesome.

Speaker 3 And every iteration of Mario Kart has been good, too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's the best.

Speaker 1 Okay, Max, you have two picks.

Speaker 1 Well, I'll just take NCA football. Okay.
College football. All right, nice pick.

Speaker 1 Pander pick. Nah, I mean, it's a great.

Speaker 1 You don't like that game? I love that game. That's what it picks.

Speaker 1 It's one of the greatest sports games of all time. Pander Pick.

Speaker 1 And Halo.

Speaker 1 I never was a Halo guy. Oh, Halo.

Speaker 1 Halo's awesome. Halo.
I know. I just never was.
Multiplayer. That's it.

Speaker 3 I popped my online multiplayer cherry with Halo.

Speaker 1 I was never a Halo guy.

Speaker 1 Back to you,

Speaker 1 Henry.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go with FIFA. Ooh.

Speaker 3 You're a big FIFA guy, huh?

Speaker 1 Big FIFA guy. I don't like soccer, but FIFA and NHL.
Like, I didn't, you know, I didn't play hockey or like hockey. I love playing NHL.
I love playing FIFA. College, the dorms.

Speaker 1 I feel like that was, you know, I wasn't doing any learning in my freshman year of college. I just was playing FIFA all day.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 I'll go with Madden. I'll take the specific one, what was the Mike Vick cover one? That one was probably the best.
They had that string. It was.

Speaker 1 Was

Speaker 1 Eddie George maybe on one? It was like 2000.

Speaker 3 Eddie George and Ray Lewis might have been on the string.

Speaker 1 There was like that string, like the early 2000s, where Madden just was. The Madden minigames.
Yeah. Ray Lewis.
The game?

Speaker 3 That was the one with the hit stick on it. Change the game.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That was the best. But yeah, Madden, I mean, it's timeless.
I remember playing that when it first came out when you could change all the, when the ambulance used to to go on the field.

Speaker 3 That was so good.

Speaker 1 Madden, actual Madden, was on the cover.

Speaker 1 But yeah, timeless game.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 Okay, next up.

Speaker 1 We have two. I'm going to go with Zelda.

Speaker 1 Also, never a Zelda guy. Love Zelda.
People love it. Love Zelda.
I understand that.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 1 GoldenEye. Yep.
Goldeneye. James Bond.

Speaker 3 Great pick.

Speaker 1 Great pick. Great pick.

Speaker 3 Great pick. Playing his odd job, messing with people.

Speaker 1 Great pick.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 This is where it gets tough. This is where it gets tough.
There's a lot of really good games, but I'm going to stick with what I know.

Speaker 1 And I'll go Tony Hawks Pro Skater. Fuck.
Good pick.

Speaker 3 Had that on my list.

Speaker 1 I love that game so much.

Speaker 1 That was probably like right at the end of what happened, Hank. That was my pick.
It's a good pick. Are you going to now tell me it wasn't a video game? No, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 elite.

Speaker 1 It is. It's such a fucking fun game.
And incredible soundtrack. Incredible.

Speaker 3 A lot of ska.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 This is a loaded draft. Everyone's got a loaded team.

Speaker 1 You're up, Hank. It's a fun game.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go probably the only game that I've really,

Speaker 1 I guess, you know, single-player story game, Assassin's Creed.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Very fun. Spent a lot of time playing it.

Speaker 3 But we're an anti-assassination podcast.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 It's a video game. That's a role-player game.
It's fine. Okay.

Speaker 1 Neat. Yeah.
My last two picks. Yeah, two.
I'm going to go Super Smash Bros. Okay.

Speaker 1 Great game. I never played that game.
It's a good game.

Speaker 1 I mean, that was like my childhood was playing my brothers in that game.

Speaker 3 It was shocking seeing Donkey Kong in the same game as Mario.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Great game.

Speaker 1 Mario Kart?

Speaker 3 Yeah, kind of like Mario Kart.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I get you, though.

Speaker 1 What's the difference between that and Mario Party, which I played? Way different. Okay.
One of them is a fighting game. Got it.
Got it. There's so many good games that we left off the list here.
Yep.

Speaker 1 And my last one is early Fortnite.

Speaker 1 Early Fortnite. Like when Fortnite Prime Fortnite.
Because then people got angry with it once people started to get too good.

Speaker 1 But there was never a game that took over

Speaker 1 an entire generation like Early Fortnite. Where are we dropping?

Speaker 1 Where would you drop?

Speaker 1 People who didn't. Where would you drop? Oh,

Speaker 1 I'm just asking you a question.

Speaker 1 Where would you drop? I'm tilted if we're with the boys, but Junk Junction was my, if I'm trying to win.

Speaker 1 That was my spot earlier. You're Bush's guy? Tomato Town.
Tomato Town was great. Puffy Park.
You would go to Tomato Town. You're an Italian.
No. Yeah, Tomato Town was good.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 My one buddy used to play with the Tomato Man, Matt. Shout out.
He's definitely listening. Shout out, Matt.
Shout out, Matt. Would he kiss you? Probably for sure.
Okay. Yep.
So, yeah, early Fortnite.

Speaker 1 Okay. Good pick.
Hank.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go with... I was going to take Fortnite, even though it was a Pander pick.
I didn't play that much Fortnite.

Speaker 1 Personal Pander pick.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm just fighting at the bottom of the leaderboard. I'm looking for points, but I will go with my heart.
Like I said, game I played the most, Star Wars Battlefront 2. Ooh, okay.

Speaker 3 Great game. Not familiar with that game?

Speaker 1 Great game. It was like

Speaker 1 original Call of Duty. Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay. I'm going to have to go with one classic.
I have a lot of games that are honorable mentions, as I'm sure you guys do.

Speaker 1 And people are going to be very mad at this list because there's some like heavy hitters that have not been mentioned.

Speaker 1 NBA Jam. Okay.
All right. NBA Jam was the best.
Growing up, the Sega Game Gear.

Speaker 1 Ah, yes. Oh, you don't know what that is.
Yeah, it's when they had. It was a Game Boy, but with color, but not Game Boy Color.
Sega Game Gear was. Wait, that was what it was called, right?

Speaker 3 Game Gear was the handheld Sega.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the handheld Sega, yeah. But also playing on Sega was the best.

Speaker 1 I think it's NBA Jam 2, but whatever.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, Tournament Edition.

Speaker 3 Tournament Edition was the one

Speaker 1 that was so awesome. But yeah, that game was the best.

Speaker 3 He's heating up.

Speaker 1 I don't know. You guys can maybe speak to it.
Like

Speaker 1 basketball games, but I kind of never got into basketball games except for NBA Jam. Oh, I love 2K, 2K, I used NBA live game, and then, like, 2K, I think, 7, switched over to 2K, and 2K 7 to like 2K.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's still good now, but yeah, I had, I mean, because I would just play, me and my brother would play one-on-one games, like Madden, NHL, 2K,

Speaker 1 and 2K. We would play like best of seven series where you have to win a seven-game series to win a game.

Speaker 3 Yeah, NBA Jam was just, it was super simple. That's what made it so fun.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 It was the one. But you couldn't stop the Charlotte Hornets.
No.

Speaker 1 Alonzo

Speaker 1 or Chris Mullen on the Warriors.

Speaker 3 Chris Mullen on the Warriors is really good. Put him in the corner.

Speaker 1 Yep. All day.

Speaker 3 Mark Price on the Cavs was awesome. All day.
Michael Jordan was not in that game, right? No.

Speaker 1 He was not. Interesting.
You could play with Bill Clinton. Could you? Yeah, there was a code to play with Bill Clinton.
I didn't know that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 3 Okay, so for my last one. Last pick, Peter.

Speaker 1 Last pick. This is a big one.

Speaker 3 This is a big one. And I was thinking about going with 2K on this one.

Speaker 1 NBA.

Speaker 1 There's no way you played that made 2K.

Speaker 3 So I'm going to go with MOB the show.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 3 M-O-B-THE-Show.

Speaker 3 Okay. Great baseball game.
You know the one that I'm talking about, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but

Speaker 1 listen, there's been a positive Mount Rushmore. I had a different baseball game on my list.
What was it called? What was the one with Manny Ramirez?

Speaker 1 Baseball 2005 was the greatest baseball game. Was that the one Manny? He had the greatest baseball game.
I think 04 as well was very good. 04 was the one with pool holes.

Speaker 1 That was the greatest baseball game ever created. I fucked up.
That was the greatest baseball game ever created. It was so fucking good.

Speaker 1 I played that game. I fucked up.

Speaker 3 That's the game I meant to pick.

Speaker 1 Also, the graphic, like MLB the show will be more popular on the graphic, but I don't know.

Speaker 1 That's not even the second best because Ken Griffey baseball was better, too. Ken Griffey Baseball was the second best behind MVP baseball.
Ken Griffey Baseball behind me. MVP baseball.

Speaker 3 I meant to pick the one with Manny.

Speaker 1 Nope. You didn't.
Remember, like, like, they had the mode where you could play in, like, a living room? Yeah, I didn't get funky with it. I'm also now remembering I used to play

Speaker 1 Ken Griffey baseball for N64 was awesome as well with Randy Johnson. It throws so fucking fast.
But yeah, that the MVP baseball 04 and 05, Pooh Holst Manny, those two versions were so, so elite.

Speaker 1 I can't believe I just did that. Sounds like you didn't play it.

Speaker 3 No, I did. That was my first time.

Speaker 1 I would never, I'd never make that mistake.

Speaker 3 Not the show.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's

Speaker 3 I might look into it, though. I might look into it.
There might be enough the show fans out there. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. We have so many honorable games.
I know. I missed one that I wish I forgot until I, after my fourth pick, NFL Blitz.
Oh, yeah. And MLB Hits.
Yeah. Also had a short one.

Speaker 1 Slug Fest was another one. Or that's what I was saying.
MLB Slug Fest. I think it was NHL Hits.
The old one, the old guy games that I had that I dumped.

Speaker 1 NHL 94. Yep.
Elite. Elite.

Speaker 1 When I was

Speaker 1 nine years old, my parents didn't want to get me a video game console because they're like, you'll just be addicted to it, which credit to them, they were right. So for my birthday one year,

Speaker 1 I got to rent,

Speaker 1 I think it was,

Speaker 1 what was it? It must have been Sega Genesis. I rented Sega Genesis for the weekend from Blockbuster, and I just took it with me everywhere.
Like, I remember, like, I had to go to

Speaker 1 a family party or something, and I literally brought it in a suitcase and was like, where's your TV?

Speaker 1 And just went to their basement and just kept on playing NHL 94 because I was like, I have three days to play this game. I'm going to play it and not sleep.

Speaker 3 It's such a good game, too, with blood on the ice. Yeah.
The best. The wraparound was unstoppable.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So NHL 94,

Speaker 1 Street Fighter Immortal Kombat. Yeah, Mortal Kombat.
Classics. Yep.
Classics. Mario 64.
was an incredible game. Mario 64.
I was kind of upset that I didn't pick that up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that is an incredible, incredible game. I feel like that was the first ever game that you could walk everywhere.

Speaker 3 And that's a game that came, it was like when you bought the Nintendo 64, it came with the Mario 1.

Speaker 1 It came with

Speaker 1 Wave Runners. What was that game?

Speaker 3 Wake Surfer?

Speaker 1 No, Wave.

Speaker 1 Fuck. It was like Wave Runners or something.

Speaker 1 That was the game that it came with. I know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 Wave Race. Wave Race was the game that I think it came with.
But Mario 64 was a hugely popular game.

Speaker 3 I had some old ones, too. I had Doom on my list.
Okay. Doom changed video gaming for sure.

Speaker 3 Mortal Kombat was on my list. SimCity.
Yep. Wii Sports.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 3 Sports was a Wii Wii Sports. That was a great game.
Yep.

Speaker 3 Just Windows Pinball. Yep.
It's one where you're an astronaut. Nokia Snake.

Speaker 1 Tetris. Nokia's Snake was a lot.

Speaker 3 Tetris is a good one. Digital Combat Simulator, DCS, a classic.
Everybody knows that one.

Speaker 1 Mario. Mario Party 2.
But I didn't want to do Mario Kart and Mario Party 2. Yeah.
Mario for Game Boy was great. I always thought Mario Party was a little boring.

Speaker 1 I played it a lot because it's like a good group game to play. But I always thought it was a little bit boring.
You could never play it by yourself. I didn't, yeah, I didn't.

Speaker 1 My parents wouldn't let me have a video game system either until I was way older. So my neighbor, we would just play the four-player game.
That was Crash Bandicoot. Actually, Genius Buy.

Speaker 1 Our parents to be like, if we don't buy a video game system, they'll just not be here. Yeah, that was

Speaker 1 the second I could go go to my neighbor's house, I would be there. The other one was my Banjo Touhee? Banjo Touhee, Elite Four Player.
Who's Banjo Touhee?

Speaker 1 It's the sequel of Banjo-Kazooie. Yeah, I didn't even know.
Cash Banda Kuwie. The other one was my best friend growing up.
We would Star Fox 64.

Speaker 1 We weren't allowed to play his N64 during the week, and his dad would take the power cord.

Speaker 1 So he would hide it, and we would spent the entire week looking for it.

Speaker 1 And then, after like, I don't know, six months, we realized he was just literally putting it in his car and taking it to work every day. It was fucking brutal.

Speaker 1 So he'd spend like every day just looking for a power cord. Smart guy.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Pokemon Red Up. I was just about to say that Pokemon Game Boy.
Guitar Hero. Guitar Hero.
Guitar Hero Rock Band. Sonic.
Yeah. Sonic 2 was the best.

Speaker 1 Battle Toads, I hated because it was so hard, but I played it so much.

Speaker 1 Let's see. What else did I have? Oh, did you guys ever play?

Speaker 1 This is actually one of my, if I did like personal, personal favorites that I don't even know if anyone else played, Twisted Metal 2 for PlayStation. I never

Speaker 3 got into that, but I've heard it's

Speaker 1 Thumper, Axel, Sweet Tooth, SSX.

Speaker 3 SSX Tricky.

Speaker 1 What's that?

Speaker 1 PS2 was a snowboarding game. It was sick.

Speaker 3 I never played that. Red Dead Redemption.
Yeah. That whole series.
Minecraft.

Speaker 1 People love that. Star Fox.
Star Fox 64. Oh, you said Star Fox.
Yeah. The best.
Oh.

Speaker 3 We have a tornado.

Speaker 1 Is that a tornado?

Speaker 3 Tornado in this area. Take shelter now.

Speaker 1 People are going to be so mad about this. Yeah, this is going to fuck people up.
Yeah. I almost don't want to cut it either.
No, don't.

Speaker 1 Let them live it. I mean, all that talk about it.
I told him not to live city earlier.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I looked it up more. It's because there's 3% of the country is city.
Update another player off the bottom of the field.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's a good update.

Speaker 1 All right, this was a good Mount Rushmore. I think this graphic, like, people are going to be pissed that we missed missed a couple of them, but we did say him an honorable mention.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So just wait till you get to this point. Oh, memes.
Memes.

Speaker 1 God of War would have looked good on a graphic.

Speaker 3 Destiny is also one of the greatest video games of all time.

Speaker 1 This is where this is going to piss people off.

Speaker 1 Yeah, people are going to be so pissed. And also, nerds are going to be

Speaker 1 mad about our list. Yeah.
Skyrim. Well, that's where, like, what memes just said, I never played any of those games.
I picked games that I played. Like, I know that I'm not.

Speaker 1 I stopped playing video games probably in like 06, 07, like, you know, religiously. And so I missed some.
What was the game you could play at Disney characters?

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 Final Fantasy. Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Heart Hearts.

Speaker 1 Final Fantasy. That was my favorite game.
Kingdom Hearts, but it's like super nerdy, and I was always embarrassed to say that I loved it. My cousin played that a lot.
I played it with him.

Speaker 1 I played it all the time, and I got like everyone, like everyone, like the day it came out.

Speaker 3 Final Fantasy, you just had to start the game and then just sit on your couch for like an hour while it told you what the story was. That's the part I never got past with that game.

Speaker 1 I know the people that play it, they absolutely love it. The Batman video games are also like the greatest video games of all time.
Oh, yeah, and Spider-Man. Yeah.
Spider-Man games. Those were good?

Speaker 1 Spider-Man games are so funny. Yeah, I'm out of it.
Did you guys play Cool Boarders? Never heard of it. Damn.

Speaker 3 Was that like California games?

Speaker 1 1080.

Speaker 1 No, it was actually just snowboarding. Oh.
Last of Us, also a very good game, which was turned into a movie or a TV show. Paperboy.
I stopped watching it after the second season. No, wait.
That's not.

Speaker 1 What was the one?

Speaker 1 No. I stopped watching

Speaker 1 Mount Rushmore shows you stopped watching. What was the one of Thrones 1-1? Where the apocalypse killed like half of the world and then they all had to like convene somewhere.

Speaker 1 The Last of Us. No.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it sounds a lot like The Last of Us.

Speaker 1 How many seasons was The Last of Us? One.

Speaker 1 No, it was something else. It was with that guy, Justin Thoreau.

Speaker 1 Fuck, this is going to drive me nuts.

Speaker 1 President of of Canada? No.

Speaker 3 Different guy.

Speaker 1 What was the Wave Winner game on N64? Wave. Wave Race.

Speaker 1 No, there was another one, though.

Speaker 3 Mike Tyson's punchout.

Speaker 1 He was PST. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 He's been on the list. Yeah.
Great, great,

Speaker 1 great game.

Speaker 1 Justin Thoreau.

Speaker 1 What is his name? NBA Street.

Speaker 1 What was it?

Speaker 1 There's NFL Street, too.

Speaker 1 Jet Moto? Was that what it was called? The Leftovers. Did you guys watch the Leftovers? I've never watched it, no.

Speaker 1 Jet Moto. Jet Moto? On PS2, yeah.

Speaker 3 Cruising USA.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, that's an arcade game, but great game. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I think it was also for like.

Speaker 1 Wait, we might just get hit by a tornado now.

Speaker 3 I think we might have mushed a tornado.

Speaker 1 This is crazy.

Speaker 3 Reverse jinxed it. Let's see.

Speaker 1 Well, now we can't because we have direct TV.

Speaker 1 It's the last part of my take you'll ever listen to.

Speaker 1 That's nuts.

Speaker 3 I can't die before NFL season.

Speaker 1 God damn it. That would suck.

Speaker 3 I can't. We made it this far.

Speaker 1 If we die,

Speaker 3 Fairs and the Commander is about to be so good.

Speaker 1 Hopefully, this goes out. Make sure you release all the interviews we did because we did some awesome ones.
How much do you think this episode

Speaker 1 would be worth if we all died? But

Speaker 1 someone could go to the computer and get the interview. Skrelli would buy it for sure.

Speaker 3 Yeah, only one person can listen to it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and then they would listen to it and be like, these motherfucking idiots. They were saying the tornadoes can't hit cities.

Speaker 1 All-time mush job.

Speaker 1 Wow, people would never know we're anti-assassination. All right.

Speaker 1 Good Mount Rushmore. People are going to be pissed,

Speaker 1 but I think we nailed it.

Speaker 1 I feel strong about everyone's four.

Speaker 3 I feel great about my three, the show. It's up in the air now.

Speaker 1 But Max is right. M.O.B.'s show might play better on the graphic.

Speaker 3 Yeah, some some people love it, but not real ones know their

Speaker 1 baseball. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's get to our interview with Baker Mayfield. PFT.

Speaker 7 Paul's here. Kids are back in school.

Speaker 8 Vacations are over. And cozy season is officially on.

Speaker 3 And now here's Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. He's a recurring guest.
It's our Chill Week interviews presented by Coors Light and Chevy Silverado, the $100 million man.

Speaker 1 Congratulations. It's Baker Mayfield.
It's been a while. It's awesome to have you back on.
We were just saying it. You've been through

Speaker 1 everything since we've last had you on. But congrats on the contract.
Let's start there. Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, settled into Tampa now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like we were talking about. Went through a couple of dirty laundry cycles there for a little bit.
Tossed and turned. Didn't come out clean a couple times.
But no, we love Tampa now

Speaker 1 so much that we're going to try and sell our Texas house and be full-time Floridians. Oh,

Speaker 1 as a proud Texan, it's wild to say.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's weird. There's that natural rivalry.
Like, there's certain states that think of themselves as their own country. You got Texas, California, Florida.

Speaker 1 Texas is its own country. It was.
That is true.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
And now you're like a Floridian. You're a Florida man.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Florida man, Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 1 I feel like I have to start wrestling Gators now. Yeah.
Wrestling Gators. Yeah.
Trust me.

Speaker 1 Or become like a retired WWE star. That's all Tampa.
They all go retire there. ED is like, I'll have to wait on that.
Yeah, yeah. Wait.

Speaker 1 So just do a cycle and then after you retire, and then, yeah, you're probably going to get a test after this. Okay.

Speaker 1 I can't wait to retire.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Like that, that one comment, you're definitely going to get a random test.
All right. So, I mean, it's been incredible.

Speaker 1 I feel like the story of like everything that's transpired in the last four years or three years,

Speaker 1 it's so much fun to watch because

Speaker 1 everyone, you know, it's like, oh, Baker, he's get cast off by the Browns on the Rams, goes to the Bucs, maybe a temporary solution. Now you get re-signed.

Speaker 1 You're the quarterback, the franchise quarterback there. Was there ever a point in this whole long list of things that have gone down where you're like,

Speaker 1 is this it for me? Is like, you know,

Speaker 1 is the league going to move on for me? Because it happens. Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, it does. I mean, you see it quite a bit, but

Speaker 1 I'd be lying if I said no. Like, there was definitely a point in Carolina where,

Speaker 1 you know, going through a couple of injuries there, team wasn't playing well.

Speaker 1 Traded Christian McCaffrey. I'm like, where the hell am I right now?

Speaker 1 And just needing a fresh start and going to LA just for that last five games of the year was so

Speaker 1 unbelievable for me. Getting a fresh start, they weren't making the playoffs regardless.
McVay was kind of in a bad spot at that point. They had so many injuries that year coming off the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 And for us to both come into it at that, the timing was perfect.

Speaker 1 I needed that to go out and say, screw it. Let me go find the fun in football again.
Because the two years prior weren't so fun.

Speaker 1 Like, the last year in Cleveland, as banged up as I was, like, looking back, like, everything, I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Played through injuries and whatnot.

Speaker 1 Like, and I wouldn't change it now, obviously. But in the midst of it, should I have probably gotten surgery and sat out? Yeah.
Yeah, probably. But you know what?

Speaker 1 I wouldn't change it. Yeah.
And so it got me to this point and I learned a lot of lessons about, quite honestly, how damn stubborn I am. Yeah.
But then getting to LA was that started I needed it.

Speaker 1 And then going to Tampa last year and just trying to meet everybody, get that chemistry going. And it's a great spot.

Speaker 1 I understand

Speaker 1 why people want to be there. I remember when it was happening with the Browns, we were saying it at the time.
We're like, Baker's toughness is actually hurting him because

Speaker 1 he's so hurt, but he's still out there. And then everyone's like, oh, Baker sucks.
It's like, dude, he's so hurt. Yeah.
No, I like watching the watching the film from those games like now,

Speaker 1 because after I got surgery, I had to reteach myself by throwing motion.

Speaker 1 Like, got with a coach and redid everything because I, like, I had manufactured having an arm stuck to my body, leg was all beat up, too. It's just so many things and factors that,

Speaker 1 like I said, hindsight's 2020, but yeah, I was a stubborn asshole.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, but it's it's damned if you do, damned if you don't sometimes. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Because if you take yourself out and you say, okay, I need surgery, and then people are like, well, which shoulder is it? It was your non-throwing one, right?

Speaker 3 Like, well, I'm getting surgery on my non-throwing shoulder. There'll be people that are like, Baker's not tough.
Yeah. He should have played through this.

Speaker 3 But then you play through it, and you're obviously impacted by it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and I think part of it was partially like

Speaker 1 feeling like I was a part of the Cleveland community and like the blue-collar attitude of like, we're going to fight through this.

Speaker 1 It's not like I'm blaming the Cleveland people by any means, but like, I feel like that's just that attitude that we had going into it, and everybody kind of embraced it.

Speaker 1 But, yeah, I wasn't able to play to the best of my ability by any means.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so you get out to L.A. I remember that week because I think we were all rooting for you.
It was such, was it, you had four days to learn, five days to learn, something like that?

Speaker 1 Oh, it was less. I got there on Tuesday night.
We played Thursday.

Speaker 3 That's right, it was a Thursday night game. What was it?

Speaker 1 Who's who'd you guys play on that Thursday night game? Raiders. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 So, what was the process like? You land, you get off an airplane, and then you just go straight to the facility or what?

Speaker 1 Yeah, landed at LAX. They had a driver pick me up, got to the facility at like 10 p.m.
And I've been on East Coast time. It was in Carolina.
So it was, I mean, for me, it was late. And we

Speaker 1 met with OC, who's now, Liam Cohen, Cohen, he's now in Tampa.

Speaker 1 Zach Robinson and OC in Atlanta now, and then McVay. We sat down for a little bit, crushed some stuff for about two hours, and they're like, hey, you probably should go to bed.

Speaker 1 Like, wake up the next morning for practice. And they do a walkthrough, and they throw me in there.
I'm like, what the hell is going on? Like, they're actually, like, trying to get me to play. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, at this point, like, I'm communicating. Emily can't travel out at that time.
So I'm like,

Speaker 1 you don't need to come to the game. Like, there's no way I'm going to play.
Right. It's like, as hours go closer, I'm like, okay, there's a chance I'm going to play this hard.

Speaker 1 This might actually happen. And then on Wednesday, like, we did a walkthrough in the morning, lunch, and then went back out to practice.

Speaker 1 And John Wolford, who's with us in Tampa now, his neck was all banged up and he couldn't throw. So the only live sessions they had, like the short weeks are so different practice schedule-wise.

Speaker 1 But the only live sessions we had, I was throwing to those guys. And I was like, okay, this feels pretty good.
Yeah. I think I might be able to do this.

Speaker 1 Thursday morning, they make me cram a little bit more, study.

Speaker 1 Day of the game. Day of the game.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And like, they let me normally they make the guys stay in the hotel the night before. They're like, hey, just stay in the hotel, study as long as you want.

Speaker 1 So, in the morning after, ride down with uh Carter, who's Sean's assistant, and McVay.

Speaker 1 We ride down the so-fi together from Thousand Oaks, and the whole way I'm like, shit, let's just do it, let it fly. Like, what do we have to lose?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but like, one of those things that I look back on,

Speaker 1 like, how wild is that? Like, 48 hours.

Speaker 3 Yeah, they simplify the playbook at all. Like guys, I know he's got long names for plays.

Speaker 1 No, I tell Sean he's an asshole all the time because he gave me a they gave me a wristband. He didn't call one single play off

Speaker 1 and but like looking back on it I wouldn't change a thing.

Speaker 1 Were there points in the game where you call the play and you're like I think I know where everyone's going and then it you snapped and you're like nope that's that's wrong but I'm still got to get rid of the playbook.

Speaker 1 There was definitely a few times where I'd say the play in the huddle say it right and then it'd be like okay What does that mean? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Then like we break the huddle and you fake it till you make it type thing. I'm like, okay, I know what I'm doing.

Speaker 1 There was a few times like that. That's crazy, man.

Speaker 3 It did totally rejuvenate your career to the point where it's like you saw a good Baker again. People know that it's somewhere inside them.

Speaker 3 And then now you've got teams that want you to be their starting quarterback next year.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Brought the fun back.
And like, that's when I'm having fun, talking trash, enjoying it, like, that's when I'm at my best. And yeah, I needed that.

Speaker 1 And it's also, I mean, again, this is nothing against Cleveland because we, I love, you know, like rooting for the Browns from afar.

Speaker 1 I'm not a Browns fan, but it's like that city wants football so bad. But there is a lot of pressure in Cleveland.

Speaker 1 Like, because they are so starved for success that it just is probably a totally different vibe than a L.A. or a Tampa.
It is. It really is.

Speaker 1 Like in Tampa, like in Cleveland, you get the stories of like, these tickets have been passed down from my great-grandfather.

Speaker 1 We've done this. We've been partying the muni lot for years and all that.
And in Tampa, they talk about like the old sombrero stadium, like the cream sickle jerseys.

Speaker 1 Like it was cool that we brought that back, but you get some fans like that, but it's just different when you get like those northeastern teams that are like truly generational

Speaker 1 fans. Right.
And the pressure of this whole city being like, you got to do this for us. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's a lot. So, all right, so this past year, I...

Speaker 1 It was great too watching you play this past year because it felt like old Baker where like you were doing shit where you're like, I'm just going to run the ball and try to like, you know, run over a linebacker, sometimes to success sometimes not but and like you're just jacked up in the huddle and like pumped up all the time so did you feel like that like you're playing some of your best ball this past year in the second half yeah second half of the year for sure um we definitely caught a groove there like we started out hot three and one bye week was early and then after that we I mean I think we went

Speaker 1 one and six like in a seven game stretch right there that it was it was bad but we we finally turned it around but uh yeah it was like all right simple is better especially with the guys that we have in Tampa, like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Speaker 1 Mike Evans, we're a big Mike Evans podcast. We did a whole thing on it last year where, like, Mike Evans does not get talked about in the way he should be.

Speaker 1 Then, the fact that if he plays three, four more years the way he's been playing, he's a top five receiver of all time. No, he is.
It's nuts the numbers he puts up.

Speaker 1 Like, if he, if he has an average year stats-wise for

Speaker 1 his records, he'll still be top 10 in touchdowns. He's up there in yards.
I mean, he's had 10 seasons in a row of 1,000. 1,000 yards, yeah.

Speaker 1 And, I mean, I know he's had some good quarterbacks, but also he's had a bunch of different ones. Yeah, right.
He is the consistent one. Right.
And, like, he doesn't get that recognition.

Speaker 1 And, like, I'd be remiss to say, like, Levante David as well, another one of those guys in Tampa that gets no recognition. The dude is a Hall of Famer.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Unbelievable.
He is.

Speaker 1 He's so, so good.

Speaker 3 It does feel like the Bucs have had awesome linebackers for like 30 years. Yeah.
Just non-stop. You've got one guy in there that should be in the Hall of of Fame.

Speaker 1 Terms apply.

Speaker 3 So, yeah, it was fun. I remember week, was it week one you guys played the Vikings? Yep.
Yeah, so there was one run that you had.

Speaker 3 You talked the ball, you ran, you ran through someone's face, and then you got up and you did the like, you kind of flexed, and your teammates on the sideline were just jumping up in the air.

Speaker 3 They're like, yes, fuck yes i felt like at least from the outside when i saw that i was like i think i think the bucks are in love with baker mayfield i think they're like fully behind him did you know going into the season that like you had a locker room behind you ready to run through a wall or was it was there a point uh it's tricky because like the whole offseason and and throughout most of camp i was still in a battle with kyle trass to get the starting job um

Speaker 1 And I think a lot of the guys knew what I was capable of, but they also didn't know what version they were going to get of me. And the version they got was the one that truly didn't give a shit.

Speaker 1 I had nothing to lose at that point. I'm either going to be a backup for the rest of my career, I'm going to revive this thing.
So it was like, this is the spark plug I needed.

Speaker 1 Was like that game one when I'm the starter, let's set the tone, like a third down run or something that we needed on the line.

Speaker 1 Like, let's set the tone for the rest of the year of like what type of locker room we're going to have. Swagger back.
Yeah. Baker grabbing his nuts again.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you look back at any of those? You're like, I probably should have done that. Yeah, my grandma still thinks I had an itch.

Speaker 1 I mean, you made, like, that's what is the best about college football. I remember when people were freaking out about it because there's such a weird thing when it comes to college sports where

Speaker 1 there were amateurs, you were amateurs then not getting paid. People think like, oh, you got to be real sportsman.
Like, it's like, no, dude, they're fucking playing Division I college football.

Speaker 1 They don't like each other. Well, yeah, college sports are different now, but like I still look back, like when the clips of that, and you hear like Greg McElroy, like

Speaker 1 Fat Boy, Alabama quarterback on the broadcast saying, oh, NFL GMs aren't going to like that.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's like, come on, I actually don't think NFL GMs give a shit about that.

Speaker 1 I think they probably would like that because it shows that you're like passionate. You got a little edge and like fuck you to you.
Yeah, it depends on which, like, how they evaluate, but yeah.

Speaker 1 I'd rather have my guy be like that than just like

Speaker 1 no emotion. Yeah.
No, I like

Speaker 1 to try and please everybody, like do the political stance and the interviews and all that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's just kind of fake.
Maybe bring back the nut grab. One hit.
That's a bold strategy.

Speaker 3 Against the Saints?

Speaker 1 Tamario might rip my head off. Yeah,

Speaker 1 that is true. It's a bold strategy.
Yeah, it's not Kansas. The Saints aren't Kansas.
That is true. You did do it against Kansas.
Of all the teams, you're like, we know we're going to put up 50.

Speaker 1 That's fine. Yeah, I did pick my battle there.

Speaker 1 Is it weird that you're SEC now? It is a little weird. It's got like, it's going to take some getting used to watching like Oklahoma versus Florida, Oklahoma versus LSU.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like seeing, seeing, like I get the SEC questions all the time about like, oh, you guys have to play everybody all the time now.

Speaker 1 It's like, okay, but like SEC ball is good, but really the consistent ones, Georgia and Alabama. LSU has its great years, and then it has its not so great years.

Speaker 1 And then you have the other teams in the SEC. And so it's like, it's still competitive ball at that time.
Yeah. And like for Oklahoma and Texas, it's...
It's about the physicality aspect.

Speaker 1 Like, that's always been the discussion about SEC. It's like, get bigger and big ones and stuff.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 like that's the difference. so and I think it'll help recruiting-wise, too.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you're gonna have to do way more like interlocker room bets against your teammates, though, because I feel like there's more SEC players.

Speaker 1 We don't gamble, oh, yeah, you yeah, well, and bets as in like oh, gentlemen,

Speaker 1 you have to wear, you have to wear like a t-shirt, yeah, t-shirt, yeah, you gotta wear a t-shirt to a press conference, and then you show fun bets for the first like five seconds of the press conference, you're like, okay, laugh at me, all right, good, and then you just carry on about your day, exactly.

Speaker 1 That's probably another drug test you're gonna get, they're just gonna be like, How can we get them? Another one.

Speaker 3 How many times have you been piss tested? Like, randomly?

Speaker 1 When we were in 2020, oddly enough, when we were really, really playing well with the Browns, I got tested probably 11 times that year.

Speaker 1 Random. First of all, look at me.
Yeah, right. I'm not a physical specimen.
Right. What are we doing here? Yeah.
It's random.

Speaker 3 Were you on like a first-name basis with the guy that comes in? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's awkward. That is awkward.
Because they got to look.

Speaker 1 Do they stand behind you? They're very familiar. No.
They look at you. Well, some of them do, some of them don't.
Some of them look at your cock.

Speaker 1 Some of them directly stare. They have to watch.

Speaker 1 The others will make sure that you don't have like a Blue Mountain State attachment. Yeah, yeah, right.
Right. Who's the guy?

Speaker 3 Ontario Smith had there.

Speaker 1 He had a fake dick.

Speaker 3 Yeah, fake dick that he put in. And then they caught him with it.
He was going through airport security. And they're like, TSA flagged it down.
They're like, what is this? Fake penis.

Speaker 1 He's having fun. Yeah.
Wait, do you ever fuck with him? Like, if there was a guy who gave me a drug test and was staring at at my cock. No chance.

Speaker 1 I would just be like, hey, buddy, you're just going to stand now. Do you say that now? Are you going to do something about this? You say that now, but like...

Speaker 1 Quicker you can be in and out of your place,

Speaker 1 the better. True.

Speaker 3 It's also very funny that a guy probably went to college for probably six to seven years to get a degree to get into the biomedical sphere.

Speaker 3 And now your day-to-day job is just looking at dudes pissing.

Speaker 1 Yeah, stare at Baker's cock.

Speaker 1 Is that it? Well, listen, the guys here all have my cock on film multiple times. So they have blackmail on me.
Congratulations. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, whenever we do golf videos and they try to get me pissing, and I'll just turn around and be like, now you can't use this. So now they have it all.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 We always say that with Big Cat, it's definitely not like going like their safe code. Yeah, I mean, it's usually like

Speaker 1 30 feet away, so you probably can't see anything.

Speaker 1 Technology nowadays, though. It's what I use.
If I ever want to sue Barstow, be like, this is my employer. Like, flashing his dick at me

Speaker 1 as I'm trying to do my job.

Speaker 1 What happens if you don't have to take a piss?

Speaker 1 Oh, like there's a, there's like a window that you have to get it done in, and it can't be too diluted, right?

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, so you can't just say, like, I don't have any pee, I just peed a second ago.

Speaker 1 No, they'll wait. Damn.
What, the whole time they're staring at your cock? No, like,

Speaker 1 the only

Speaker 1 that'd be funny if they stayed for three hours. That's just when they just feel awkward and they, like, turn the faucet on.
Yeah. Ooh, soothing soothing sounds.

Speaker 3 You try to piss so hard that you just shit yourself.

Speaker 1 Do they leave at that point?

Speaker 3 Do they watch you get cleaned up?

Speaker 1 I do have an old teammate

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 1 we had a drug tester that really thought his job was the most important thing in the world.

Speaker 1 And this one teammate, on purpose, would only go do his drug test when he had to shift.

Speaker 1 That's awesome.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'm trying to think who that is. That is so great.
Oh, man.

Speaker 1 It was the first initial.

Speaker 1 okay i can't do it it was a good move though it was a good easy yeah

Speaker 1 that's he's turned his life around that rocks hey you saw a ufo yeah

Speaker 1 like for real for real what tell us

Speaker 1 okay

Speaker 3 so

Speaker 1 driving home from dinner where in austin okay

Speaker 1 and it's like when we're driving home we're about to cross the dam between lake travis and lake austin and we're looking like basically looking out it's and like it's really dark out there and literally like we got this the screen on the

Speaker 1 uh car is real bright yeah and so Emily's in the passenger seat she's looking at her phone this like like circle shaped object like bright as hell literally just goes from right here and goes straight down She was looking at her phone.

Speaker 1 You know how it is like at night, if you're looking at that and your eyes don't adjust to light. It was so bright that she looked up and saw it too.

Speaker 1 And it just like disappeared, like completely disappeared.

Speaker 1 holy shit and so i put that out on twitter people thought i was hammered no i believe no i was just driving home right and not under the influence either yeah um and you're an oklahoma guy not an oklahoma state guy

Speaker 1 that's good it's a big difference that's a good one thousand times my country that's that's that was nice um but

Speaker 1 There was other people that reached out afterwards and said they saw the same thing. Whoa, that's good.
And it wasn't like we were facing towards the Tesla factory. They weren't doing any weird shit.

Speaker 1 We were facing out like out out towards the country.

Speaker 3 Damn. So when you got home, were you like, I would have just been buzzing.
I would have just been talking about the UFO non-stop for the next week.

Speaker 3 You saw aliens.

Speaker 1 I thought I was crazy at that point.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's like COVID.
And they thought it, I don't know what was going on. Yeah, I mean, if you say you saw a UFO, people are just going to be like, that's crazy.
That vaccine hit him different.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 He's never been the same. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's pretty cool. I want to see a UFO.

Speaker 3 I really want to see one, yeah. I've been telling myself, every night I look up at the sky and I try to find one.
I've never seen one. But maybe it's because I'm looking for one.

Speaker 1 It just has cell phone into you.

Speaker 3 I got a weird question for you about your time in Tampa. Okay.
Your offense coordinator, Dave Canalis.

Speaker 3 Did you ever read his book? I did not. Did you know that he wrote a book?

Speaker 1 I did, yeah.

Speaker 3 That never came up at any point?

Speaker 1 Came up initially.

Speaker 1 He owns it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He owns it, and I respect him for it. Like, I didn't know anything

Speaker 1 prior to meeting him. They didn't know anything about him.
Yeah, but like the fact that he owns it he's upfront about it

Speaker 1 No, I never read though. Yeah.
Do you think

Speaker 1 he could have just done it in therapy and not written the book? Yeah

Speaker 1 We were joking like if I were him I would never just I would never want to be a head coach because then everyone would be like wait, what's that book? Yeah.

Speaker 1 But I think that like the approach that him and his wife have about it like if they're open about it then teaching lessons on it and like yeah it's like it's a part of their story. Yeah.

Speaker 3 you know yeah i don't know how do you think he's gonna be as a head coach good

Speaker 1 like

Speaker 1 he's very relatable smart guy um he's got he took our receivers coach from tampa with him to be the oc brad itzik really really good football mind and i just think like those two guys together like around bryce is gonna be good for him but dave's got like

Speaker 1 the definition of an optimist bully like it could be the worst day ever everything could be going wrong. And he's sitting there, he's like, guys, I got the next play.

Speaker 1 And like, he's got a big old smile on his face. And you're like, this guy's full of shit.
Yeah. But no, that's literally who he is day in and day out.

Speaker 1 And like, it's honestly refreshing, especially in that industry. It's like coaches are always negative, like picking apart everything, but he's, he's complete opposite.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He seems like a good dude. I mean, it's, it's cool.
Anytime, like, you start getting the wave of younger generation hires, it's cool because it does feel like that's happening right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's, but it's also the old school generation is so entertaining to watch. I know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we need to figure out who the next

Speaker 1 grumpy, like,

Speaker 1 we need some more fat coaches. That's something that's a fat coach in a long time.
We've got Bangino back.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right, right. Like, we got Andy Reid, Mike McCarthy, but, like, we can do better than that.

Speaker 3 We can do way better than that.

Speaker 1 It's more powerful to get. Get some guys to put on some weight.
Yeah. You get them on a strict diet.
Yeah. Let's get some fat coaches going.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 If the coaches are like, you know, too young, too cool, too much of players' coaches, do you ever wish? Like, I just wish like Bruce Arians would walk through that door and just chew me out.

Speaker 3 Just like, call me a dumb motherfucker.

Speaker 1 A good ass chewing is good for everybody every once in a while. I always say that.
I've always everybody needs one. Yeah.
You might not like it, but you need it. You need it.
You need it.

Speaker 3 It's a reset. When's the last time you had your ass chewed?

Speaker 1 Like, really, really chewed.

Speaker 3 Really chewed. Like, really in-depth.

Speaker 1 Really chewed.

Speaker 1 Like, went in. Yeah.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 You thought about it for days.

Speaker 3 Todd Haley.

Speaker 1 oh yeah that's a classic todd haley yeah todd haley had some really good ones my rookie year

Speaker 1 and yeah he he tore me apart yeah todd haley's a he's a motherfucker but like in like a football guy way yeah but he did it to everybody yeah it wasn't like he would pick it personal unless you just like didn't give a that was the only time he would like single you out But yeah, he would let you know you're pretty damn stupid.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 he's a football guy through and through. That's for sure.
Todd Haley. That's a good answer.
That's probably the last, yeah, that was the last really good one. Yeah.
Greg Williams?

Speaker 1 Greg let the offense, like, when they got rid of Hugh Jackson and Todd, Greg kind of let the offense do whatever. And Greg, Greg's sick in the head.
Yeah, like he loved the fact that I was psychotic.

Speaker 1 Loved it. He was like, just, yeah, I love that shit.
Just keep doing it.

Speaker 3 I've heard that in practices, he, he sometimes, to the detriment of the team, if he's coaching defense, he'll just send crazy-ass blitzes when the offense is trying to work on something.

Speaker 1 Yeah, those are the worst kind of coaches. The ones that like script read and take all that stuff and try and win and practice.

Speaker 1 First of all, it's not getting your defense better because you don't know what the offense is going to call in a game.

Speaker 1 But yeah, he likes to bring a lot of practice. I would definitely do that.
Yeah, just out of the way.

Speaker 1 Again, someone who, the minute I realized, like in sixth grade, that they had half of the answers in the back of the book in math, it's like that's when I stopped learning math.

Speaker 1 But then in the test, when you don't have the answers, what do you do? I'd be really bad at math.

Speaker 3 But it's kind of different in football because you want that confidence. So in practice, if you give your guys the answers, then you feel like they're superhuman.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I can see how that can translate. Yeah, yeah.
A little confidence.

Speaker 1 Did that work for the Browns in Cleveland? Did that translate? Yeah. Might not have to do that.
You know what?

Speaker 1 It kind of did. They turned it around, wound up seven, eight, and one.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They won one game in two years prior. You know, sure, it worked.
Yeah, that worked. Do you ever, your current coach, Todd Bowles, he's not a yeller.
No.

Speaker 1 Do you ever want to shake him and be like, dude, just yell at me? No, because he's like, he's got some sly shit talking. Oh, I like that.
Under his breath, behind the scenes, yeah. Because

Speaker 1 they'll show Todd Bowles on the sideline and he just won't be talking. Yeah.
And I know that it's so even keel. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's like, I mean, he is one of the smartest defensive minds I've ever been around. It's amazing.

Speaker 1 going up against them in practice. But like, then his nature, though, is just

Speaker 1 the whole time. Yeah.
And it never changes besides when he's given the defensive guys a hard time or somebody else in team meetings.

Speaker 1 It's funny. Do you think it would fuck the team up if he just did a Bob Knight type of tirade at one point and be like, what's wrong? Good Bobby Knight.

Speaker 1 He throws a chair and he's like, listen, guys, I've been holding this in for 50 years. A lot of built-up

Speaker 1 testosterone.

Speaker 3 You guys are the ones that finally made me snap.

Speaker 1 That one. I've never yelled in my life.
That might make me feel guilty. Yeah, I know.
I think it would fuck you up mentally. Yeah.
Yeah. Shit.

Speaker 1 We pushed them to this point.

Speaker 1 I forgot to say congratulations on being a dad. Thank you.

Speaker 1 Do you feel like you are stronger? I did have some dad strength. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You like, have you can do that if you're like, because I have three kids and like I can like put myself in a place where I think about my kids in danger and I like get that adrenaline boost. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm always one of those guys that like, and I know my friends are going to listen to this. Like I always have the conversation about like a pack of coyotes coming at us.

Speaker 1 We always have the argument about what kind of of animal we could take. Yeah, coyotes I'd fuck up.
Like right now, come on. No problem.

Speaker 3 They're easy. We saw a coyote like two days ago.
Give me 12 of them.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 It was a bitch.

Speaker 1 Well, you'd fuck up one and they'd all run. Yeah.
They'd be scared as shitless. Yeah, I mean, you scared the rest of the pack.
Yeah. You single the big one out.
Yeah, we saw a coyote.

Speaker 1 I was ready to take it. We're playing frisbee golf.
I called it back over and what you can do. Yeah.

Speaker 3 It started to walk away.

Speaker 1 I howled at it. Yeah, it went on.

Speaker 3 It stopped. It looked at me and I was like, come on, bring it.
And I just walked away.

Speaker 1 What's your move if you're doing that? A coyote? Yeah.

Speaker 3 I kick everything in the nuts.

Speaker 1 I'll tell you what I do. No, here's what you do.

Speaker 3 You wrap

Speaker 3 your shirt around your arm, then you hold your arm and

Speaker 3 make them bite your arm.

Speaker 1 I think you took that from a direct canine police training video.

Speaker 3 I've watched a lot of videos of that Detroit urban survival guy, so I'm pretty good at that. They hold it up and then whack it in the nuts.

Speaker 1 Oh, you grab it by the throat and just snap its windpipe.

Speaker 1 Right in the trachea? Done. Yeah.
Done. PETA's also going to be after us.
After us. No, coyotes aren't protected by PETA.
No chance.

Speaker 1 There's definitely some animal, like pigeons aren't protected by PETA.

Speaker 1 Raccoons, I don't think. Like, what's the point of mosquitoes either? Yeah, mosquitoes, definitely not protected by PETA.
Florida

Speaker 1 really pissed me off. Ticks.
Ticks are the worst thing in the world. They literally exist just to kill people.
They've ruined the term Lyme for me. Lyme disease.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Just like corona did with coronavirus.
That's true. Corona and a Lyme used to be the most refreshing thing in the world.
Now it's a virus and a parasite. Yeah.
Kill you and make you tired.

Speaker 1 it stinks it's a shame yeah real shame real shame all right so has your life changed like having a kid you feel like maybe this is going to be maybe this will be best season yet because you're playing for something bigger i do and like like last year i feel like there was definitely extra motivation um

Speaker 1 but just i don't know it puts everything in perspective too so it's like how do you balance yeah knowing that there's other things outside of football, but also

Speaker 1 how am I going to support this family for the rest of their lives? Also,

Speaker 1 it's a mind fuck because everyone tells you what to expect, and then when it happens, you're like, well, that changed everything. And like, timing-wise, like, she was born early April.
Like,

Speaker 1 it couldn't have been a better time. Yeah, I don't know how people do it in season.
It's like you want to be there, you want to spend your time, but also you got to pay the bills. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All my babies were born in the offseason. Yeah.
I wouldn't, I wouldn't.

Speaker 1 What's the season for you?

Speaker 1 The season for us is

Speaker 1 late August till the end of the NBA finals. That's like the very busy season.
So it's

Speaker 1 like, so this is the offseason. So that's like till mid-June? Yeah, it's

Speaker 1 10 months. Yeah.
We're in the offseason right now. We're in the offseason.

Speaker 3 We're in OTAs. This is OTAs right now.

Speaker 1 It's a long season. Voluntary, you guys showed up for this? Yeah, we did.
This is, yeah, phase me. This is us.
Yeah, we're good to do it.

Speaker 3 We're doing it.

Speaker 1 We're doing it.

Speaker 3 There really is no option. Did you plan that out?

Speaker 3 We're going to have our baby in the offseason?

Speaker 1 No, we didn't plan it. We tried for like a year and a half, half, and she's actually, we think, a Tahoe baby.
Oh,

Speaker 1 chill week. We came back to the scene of the crime.
Wow.

Speaker 3 You're more fertile out here.

Speaker 1 Oh. Elevation.
Elevation? Yeah. The sperm swim faster.
You got in the cold water.

Speaker 1 Put a little Michael Phelps on.

Speaker 3 That might have something to do with it, yeah.

Speaker 1 But now you got to think about like your daughter someday listening to this. She'll know she was in Tahoe.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 She's going to be the chillest baby ever. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm definitely Tahoe baby. Yeah.
Because I have that happen creep in my head every now and then. Well, pretty much every day, but I just block it out.

Speaker 1 Like, they'll watch everything, and it's gonna suck. It is scary, yeah, it's scary.
I'm not gonna be able to tell them to, like, I'm not gonna be able to say, hey, don't do this.

Speaker 1 It's like, what about this? Why you did this? Yeah, right. You did this on camera.

Speaker 3 You think about that in a game when you're like, play, you're getting crushed by the Ravens in Cleveland? One day, my future unborn kids are going to watch this game film. Yeah, that dad stunk it.

Speaker 3 Dad got his ass beat.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He's a tough motherfucker.
I have. Do you are you aware of Stephen Che?

Speaker 1 I'm not. Okay.
Bucks super fan.

Speaker 1 He actually,

Speaker 1 there was like some graphic that was like the most famous fans for every team. Dick Vital won for the Bucs, and then Stephen Che photoshopped himself over Dick Vital,

Speaker 1 which was pretty rude of him, especially because Dick Vitel, I think, is battling cancer again. But Stephen Shea, he's a crazy Bucs fan.
Okay. Watches film.
He's very well known in the Bucs community.

Speaker 1 I asked him for some questions. He watches film? He does.
He doesn't know what he's watching. So he watches film.
That's what I love about the Super fans. He works.

Speaker 3 He works for Barstool. And when he started working for us, he was doing like ad operations.
So he was very much on the business side, but he would still break down Bucks film for himself. Yeah.

Speaker 3 For nobody, really.

Speaker 1 For no one.

Speaker 3 He had the software. He would like highlight guys.
And then somebody saw like one time he posted a clip and we're like, why are you doing this, Steven? And he just always asks.

Speaker 1 And he only posts good film. Like, if you guys get killed, he'll just be like, watch this, watch this guard get off.
off

Speaker 1 wait steven the bucks lost like 30 33 to two and it's like what the yeah so bless you steven he's he's the best he actually did say uh feel free to show him this pick of us from the camp with the jets last year so there's the pick remember he's got a lot of energy yes he's yeah he's got a lot of energy yeah he's he's done make-a-wish with the bucks he's not sick or anything um

Speaker 1 he had uh who threw him the was it ryan griffin threw him a pass i'll show i'll find the video for you and show it to you. So anyway, Stephen Shea, diehard Bucks fan.
I asked him for some questions.

Speaker 1 He said, the first one was the Bucs actively sought out your opinion on their open offensive coordinator position this offseason, even though you were a free agent.

Speaker 1 What did that mean to you and how much did that influence your decision to stay in Tampa? Pretty good question. That's a great question.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Kind of a loaded one, too. Yeah.
Stephen, coming with the hard ones.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like

Speaker 1 it was fun during the process, but also like I'm giving them input on like what I think we need, similar, like a similar system to what Dave had,

Speaker 1 and like to benefit my attributes. And we go through this process, and I feel like it was always a circle.

Speaker 1 Like we'd go through that, I'd give them my input, then also I'd take a step back and be like, wait, I don't even have a deal yet. What am I doing here? Yeah, right.
Like, let's do this.

Speaker 1 But I think part of it was them trying to get input. get the right guy in there, that making it more enticing no matter what the deal was that was offered.

Speaker 1 But it did mean a lot during that process because that was the first time I had been asked about anything. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And it wasn't like they're still going to make their decision however they want to.

Speaker 1 They're probably just letting me feel good about it. But that counts.
It does.

Speaker 1 And knowing that I had worked with Liam before, I think that was a big part of it. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean,

Speaker 1 it's cool when a team does that because like, why wouldn't you, your quarterback is your most important position.

Speaker 1 Why wouldn't you want to at least hear, even if you don't use it just hear what they have to say yeah and like and but just the questions about what type of system what type of guy i thought we needed yeah like leadership wise

Speaker 1 system wise for our skill players for our o-line because i mean we were so bad at running the ball last year and so like how is he going to improve all that and like that that input i think you know like they obviously did their own homework but found out that he was the right fit.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 So during that process, were you talking to other teams yourself?

Speaker 1 No. Like wound up signing right before free agency started um but like you like all the rumors that go around like agents talk everybody talks like you see some things like

Speaker 1 um i thought atlanta was gonna eventually offer if free agency came but then they signed kirk before that and

Speaker 3 uh i thought minnesota could be a chance like that like you just never know yeah you never know that would have been funny if you gave the the bucks uh the shittiest offensive coordinator that you could find you're like yeah i really like this guy and then went to atlanta that would have been

Speaker 1 That was an awesome movie. That would have been smart.
That would have been a good one. Yeah.
All right. Here's the other question.
This one is weird.

Speaker 1 Steve,

Speaker 1 all he cares about is football. So

Speaker 1 he only gets his news from Adam Schefter. Like when

Speaker 1 Ukraine and Russia were going to war, Steven didn't. Threes are sixes.

Speaker 3 These are eights.

Speaker 1 Lucy Breakers. These are fours.
You want one? Shout out Lucy Breakers.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so Ukraine, Russia happened. Like he didn't find out for three weeks weeks because Adam Schefter didn't tweet it.
Like, that's the type of guy he is.

Speaker 1 Like, he doesn't know world news unless Schefter says it. Okay.
Because he just, that's how locked in he is on just football. Okay.
So he said, I heard a rumor.

Speaker 1 So Schefter's his favorite guy in the world. He said, I heard a rumor that you and Adam Schefter are very tight.

Speaker 1 It's rare in this day and age for a newsbreaker and a player he reports on to be good friends. How did this beautiful friendship blossom? And what are your favorite qualities about Schefter?

Speaker 1 Did he just do an ad-lib, like throw in the adjectives in there? This is a real question. He said, what? What is friendship awesome.
And also, what are your favorite qualities about Adam Schefter?

Speaker 1 I mean, he's a weirdo. I'll say Steven's a gem.
Yeah, he is quite something. He's quite something.
No, Adam and I actually are close. Okay.
That's accurate. So he got the rumor right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, he got the rumor right.

Speaker 1 Favorite qualities? Favorite qualities.

Speaker 1 I think Adam's, he's just, like, as much as they do the breaking news stuff, like, if you have a conversation with Adam, he's one of the media members you can actually trust that if it's off the record, it's not going anywhere.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like he actually

Speaker 1 will keep it close to the best.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like I think a lot of those guys that are like high up there, you got like Rapor or Pellicero, like those guys, I think those are the qualities that like, because Adam was doing it before anybody, yeah,

Speaker 1 and he just done it for a long time, yeah. Yeah, I mean, we love Shefty, we have him once a year at the comedy, he's a good dude.

Speaker 3 He gives great Christmas gifts, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah, are you on the list? He sent us baby gifts too, Christmas gifts, everything.

Speaker 3 You get the blanket this year?

Speaker 1 Yeah, you get the blanket? Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. I was a little confused by the blanket i was

Speaker 1 just like what's going on it had a giant uh s on there and then i thought did adam shafter send me a blanket with his initial on it yeah like did he send that to everybody but no yours probably had an m right it did yeah nice guy baby name yeah yeah yeah but it was yeah the whole thing he's he's the best he sent us cookies the year before and he's got his daughter doing interviews like on the field after games like when we with the rams were playing the broncos on christmas day she was down there doing an interview for nickelodeon yeah yeah it's pretty cool i mean that that's also nepotism.

Speaker 1 Like, come on. What are we doing, dude? I think

Speaker 3 it was like Noah Eagle on the call. Yeah.
Right. And then

Speaker 1 Asterschafter stars. Bronnie was playing quarterback.
Yeah. It was great.

Speaker 3 What about physically? What's your favorite physical attribute about Adam Schafter? Your best friend?

Speaker 1 How, like, just proportionally sized to fit in my pocket he is.

Speaker 1 Just you can just keep him right in there. He is.
Like, if you stand next to him, you're a 6'3 quarterback all of a sudden. I feel enormous.
Yeah. Like Josh Allen.

Speaker 3 So we actually, we're on your side about the whole, like, you're not, you're actually not as short as people say. But what they should do is they should measure up to the eyes for quarterbacks.

Speaker 3 Because anything above your eyes is wasted space going into the draft. Like, I don't give a shit if my quarterback's got a big forehead.

Speaker 1 Okay, so Peyton Manning. Yeah.

Speaker 3 How tall is he? Big forehead.

Speaker 1 That's true. How tall is he? Not that tall.
No. Four? No, he's like, he's like 5'11.

Speaker 3 Well, by the eyes. Yeah, right.
Yeah, if we're going by the eyes, Peyton Manning, probably 5'11, yeah. Yeah.
Tom Brady, five, probably six feet. Yeah.
Six feet flat.

Speaker 1 I don't know what his forehead looks like.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it changes every other week. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That was me. Shouldn't have said that.

Speaker 3 Did you get Tom Brady's locker?

Speaker 1 I think so. Oh,

Speaker 1 yeah, it is. It is.
Did you leave anything behind? But also, it's a locker room. You got to replace guys.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 They can't put glass over it. Like, don't touch this.
No. Did you leave anything behind or was it just clean?

Speaker 1 No, there was no avocados left. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Was there any weird pressure like stepping into Tom Brady's, Brady's, like this used to be his team?

Speaker 1 A little bit, but also like the team that they brought in around him, like he had a huge say on the free agents and like a ton of veterans that Super Bowl run, like those end years.

Speaker 1 A little bit, but also like, I'm not Tom.

Speaker 1 I don't play like Tom.

Speaker 1 I just can't be him. That's what I always said.
Just be the best version of myself and let that ride. Yeah.

Speaker 3 That is cool, though, that you got... a locker room that had guys that he hand-selected to bring in there.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Like, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Good situation.
Yeah. Um, all right.
Well, this has been awesome. I got one last question.

Speaker 1 It's been awesome having you back on, Bakery. Like I said, I think it's been five years.
We've had you on, I think this is the third time.

Speaker 1 You are, I love that you, I feel like you're a type of guy that you have a circle and then there's people who talk shit about Baker and you're like, fuck you, you're out.

Speaker 1 Was there ever a moment that we were out?

Speaker 1 No. Okay, good.
Really? No.

Speaker 1 There was just a moment where I was just like, I'm not doing it. Okay, that's fair.

Speaker 1 Because, yeah, there was a moment where we were like, are we out? I don't think we were.

Speaker 3 I don't think we ever said anything remotely negative about you. We've always been like Baker Mayfield Mayfield fans, but the problem we run into sometimes is the Barcelon Sports main account.
Yes.

Speaker 3 They will

Speaker 1 fire off. Not our fault.

Speaker 3 The dankest memes left and right after a game. And then sometimes

Speaker 3 we've got players that we're friends with. They're like, hey, what the fuck? And we're like, sorry, we don't control that.

Speaker 1 Deion actually texted me the other day. He was like, what's this story you guys are writing? I was like, dude, I haven't blogged in 10 years.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think you got a bunch of computer nerds sitting behind there writing articles for clickbait stuff. Yes.
Yeah, we got a lot of that.

Speaker 1 But my approach on it was just not to do any huge interviews, just like let this whole thing pass over,

Speaker 1 let people know that I'm stronger in the end for it, and still the same person. Smart approach, yeah.
All right, good. I feel good.

Speaker 3 Remember when you beat Philly in the playoffs this year?

Speaker 1 It's pretty sick. That was awesome.
Pretty sick. Oh, hey, what happened with your Oklahoma statue? They kind of fucked that up, huh?

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 3 there are really no good statues.

Speaker 1 Good story on that. Okay.

Speaker 1 It's better than if you can, I don't know if they'll have a picture of it online, but they have all the All-Americans plaques outside.

Speaker 1 If you look up Mark Andrews' plaque, it's the most fucked up thing you've ever seen in your life. Really? It's so good.

Speaker 1 This is see the problem is, I think what they had to do is they had to break the mold of statues and have it be a red headband.

Speaker 1 Because if you look at it from afar, it looks like you just have the shiniest, biggest forehead ever. That's the problem.

Speaker 1 Because because they have their your headband on there yeah that's i think what i was thinking it kind of looks like you look like a player from the 1940s in statue it's weird you haven't you look like it yourself while you're alive like it's enormous you kind of look like t1000 from terminator that's cool that's pretty sick yeah all right all right i'm coming around on the statue i'm just a little pissed they didn't make kyler's miniature but

Speaker 1 yeah this this is i don't know that would have been great if it was kyler's miniature yeah real strong chin in that one yeah ears are flaring out a little bit is t1000 Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's kind of cool now. All right.

Speaker 1 I'm back on the statue.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, Baker, it's been fucking awesome, dude.
We love having you back on the show. It's good to be back.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 let's not wait another five years. Okay.

Speaker 1 I'm sure, you know what? Next time, we'll bring Steven with us, and he can just. Is he going to talk the whole time, though? Yes.
Unless we tell him to shut up. He's coachable, though.

Speaker 1 If you tell him to shut up, he'll shut up. Perceptive? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 I do have one more question for you.

Speaker 3 Since we were talking about babies earlier, we have a theory on this show that when a player like a wide receiver or tight end has a kid especially if it's their first baby they're way more likely to score a touchdown that week because everyone in the locker room is like happy for them you know everyone's saying like send best wishes to them they show up for game day different mood congrats on the baby does that does that calculus ever enter your brain

Speaker 1 for like receivers and tight end yeah you gotta get them the ball because of the baby No, okay. It should.

Speaker 3 Bad teammate, maybe.

Speaker 1 It's good that he said that because then it's not going to change the odds. But now it, we know the truth.

Speaker 3 But now it's actually in his brain. That's another pistol.

Speaker 1 That's for you.

Speaker 1 All right, thanks, Beaker. Appreciate it, guys.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's wrap up the show. I have two Monday readings for you.
One's a tweet. One's a

Speaker 1 Reddit post that I came across. Someone tagged me in it saying Monday reading, which I agreed with.

Speaker 1 The first is a tweet that I want you guys to just give your reaction for. This is from...
So Nate was in the World Series of poker, cashed. Congrats to Nate, our guy Nate, 717.

Speaker 1 I funded him. He cashed.
And we're proud of him. It was a hell of a run.
But anyway, my algorithm has just been all poker because I was so into his run and just like looking for everything.

Speaker 1 This guy, Sean Perry, I guess he's a poker pro or something.

Speaker 1 Sean Perry wins.

Speaker 1 He said, Did you guys know that Dylan Gang runs a very high-stakes illegal poker game where he's raking over 50K a day and there's an illegal prostitution ring happening at the game?

Speaker 1 The players are paying girls to fuck in the other rooms, and this is Jason Mercer's partner. How alarming.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 That sounds terrible. It sounds alarming.

Speaker 1 That sounds

Speaker 3 like the worst time ever.

Speaker 3 I simply can't believe that's true. Crazy.
We should go check it out. Yeah.
To make sure that it's not true.

Speaker 1 It's, I mean, guys are paying to fuck in the side room. In Las Vegas? I don't know where it is.

Speaker 1 He runs an illegal stakes poker game where he's raking over 50K a day, and there's an illegal prostitution ring happening at the game. The players are paying girls to fuck in the other rooms.
Whoa.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I can't believe that's true. We should go check it out.
Scary.

Speaker 1 Scary. Hold on.

Speaker 3 Where is it? Can you tell me the address that it is so I can make sure that I never

Speaker 3 find it?

Speaker 1 We gotta find it.

Speaker 3 I want to make sure I know

Speaker 3 I never accidentally go there.

Speaker 1 Grit week, we'll stop it. Okay, so I think we have a spot for Grit Week.
Yep, I think so. Find it.
Do some investigative journalism. All right, here's the Monday reading.

Speaker 1 This one is

Speaker 1 my boyfriend,

Speaker 1 26, female, my boyfriend 28, is obsessed with a lantern he found at a flea market, and it's getting weird. How do I approach this? Hello.

Speaker 1 So, my boyfriend and I recently went to a flea market, and he found this old-style lantern that he absolutely fell in love with.

Speaker 1 He bought it on the spot, and I thought it was a cute little vintage decoration for our apartment. But now, things have taken a strange turn.

Speaker 1 Ever since he got the lantern, he's become super attached to it.

Speaker 1 He keeps it by his bedside and even gets up in the middle of of the night to walk around the apartment with it, pretending to be an old-timey watchman.

Speaker 1 He'll say things like all is well or the night is dark and full of terrors. And he really gets into character.

Speaker 1 At first, I thought it was kind of funny and endearing as he always had an eccentric style of humor, but now it's starting to annoy me. He does this almost every night and it's disrupting our sleep.

Speaker 1 I've tried talking to him about it, but he just tells me that he takes his watchman duties very seriously and that it's important for her safety. The issue is, I genuinely cannot tell if he's joking.

Speaker 1 Has anyone else experienced something like this? How do I get him to tone it down without hurting his feelings or making him feel like he can't enjoy his quirky interests?

Speaker 3 That's a great question to ask. Have any of you guys experienced this with a boyfriend before?

Speaker 1 Guys can't have hobbies?

Speaker 3 Sounds like he's gaslighting her.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's all I got.

Speaker 1 I love this guy, though.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he's a cool guy.

Speaker 3 Listen, if you find something cool at a flea market or you're out maybe on a Saturday afternoon, you ask him to stop into some little quaint antique shop that he doesn't really want to go into, and then he finds something awesome that consumes his life from there.

Speaker 3 You should encourage those types of behaviors, those hobbies. He's using his imagination.

Speaker 1 Also, like, playing in the dark is like as old school as it gets. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Probably get some excellent shadows with the lantern.

Speaker 1 The dark, what does he say? The dark is night and full of terrors.

Speaker 3 All is well. Yeah, all is well.

Speaker 1 The night is dark and full of terrors. Yeah.
Sounds like he's doing a good job.

Speaker 3 Sounds like he's keeping ghosts away from you, which you should be happy about.

Speaker 1 I saw it. I was just like, dudes, Rock.
This is just... We've gotten to a point where it's like, listen, what would you rather him do? Like,

Speaker 1 cheat on you or, like, you know, go, like, have a hobby that, like, completely destroys your relationship with him? Or he could just do his duty as the watchman and check out what's going on at night.

Speaker 3 At least you know where he is all night long.

Speaker 1 Right. He's walking around with a lantern in his hand.

Speaker 3 And if there's...

Speaker 1 Hey, I bet you if you heard a clank in the middle of the night, you're like, you go check it. You're not the one who's going to go check it.
He's going to go check it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he's the guy that's got the lantern. Now he's fully equipped.
