Feeling very chill.iller than hank i'm way chiller than hank as well i think chill is just a state of mind i don't think that there's a competition okay well if there were a competition we would win chillest that sounds like something that sounds like something that somebody who's not chill would say yeah it's not a competition i don't know this week though um first of all we're rookies out here which has never been more apparent because every move we've made everyone's like oh you did that yeah we're leaving the golf tournament before the golf tournament yes but it's been an incredible week thank you to the american century championship incredible host we've got some awesome interviews that are gonna be coming out in the next few weeks.
It was like a dream coming out here. It's beautiful.
The scenery, the vibes, all the dudes in the flat brim hats, which I don't know why, but California just does that, and they do it better than everyone else. Kids in flat brim hats everywhere.
Yeah. We were signing autographs for kids.
That was weird. Kept apologizing.
Yeah. I kept trying to pull away, and they kept like, please, please, please.
I i'm like you don't want this this this event has a lot of very famous people we are not very famous people we're barely famous online and uh but everyone's in autograph and picture mode and if you're walking somewhere with a credential everyone's just like who is that i got a lot of who is that yeah and then a bunch of kids being like can get your autograph? I was like, I don't think you want my autograph. Yeah, they're here to get autographs from like Tony Romo, people that they see on TV, like the famous people.
And then they see us coming out and then kids come over. And I'm like, I don't want to ruin your hat.
Yeah. Like my signature makes your hat trash.
I signed a kid's Niners jersey, a six-year-old's Niners jersey. I was like, dude, you don't want this.
And he was just like, yeah, yeah i do there were two six-year-old girls that were like sign my arm and i looked at the parents i was like i don't want to sign your child's arm yeah but here we are here we are chill week yeah it's been awesome um okay we'll talk more chill week we'll talk fire fest f-i-r-e fire fest at the end because it's been such a chill week we should start start, though, with the most important news in sports history. Greg Berhalter has been fired yet again.
We did it, guys. Congratulations.
USA Soccer is back on the map. We're so back.
We're going to win a World Cup. As quickly as we were back, then we went straight to Klopp, the guy that we wanted, the great coach.
I think he coached, I'm going to fuck this up, Liverpool maybe? Yeah, Liverpool. Yeah, so he was our number one, and he has rebuffed us.
The United States has been rebuffed by Jurgen Klopp. But who doesn't rebuff a first offer? We just got to come back.
We just got to go higher and higher and higher. Or hear me out, what if we just hire Greg again? Third time's a charm.
He does know where the office is. Yeah, he's like maybe the Jeff Fisher of U.S.
soccer. Yeah.
This is going to be the one that changes it, though. I think so, yeah.
I think that it can't be worse. No.
There is something very satisfying. I'm not the biggest soccer fan, but in all sports, when you've been trying to get a guy fired and you finally do it, it's just a very satisfying feeling because it really is the only way that fans feel like they had an impact even though he probably got fired not because the fans but because he sucked as no it was us it was us but you can take credit for it as a fan and be like yeah mission accomplished we fucking did it we got this guy fired the funniest thing ever was i think it was late last week uh the biggest supporters club of the united states the the U.S.
Outlaws, they issued a statement officially calling for his firing.

Oh, no.

Which was big, yeah.

Once you lose the Outlaws.

Once you lose the Outlaws, then you're the in-laws.

It's over.

Nobody likes in-laws.

It's good.

It's been a long time coming.

I don't know who we're going to get.

At this point, what I saw last night when we were watching the Copa America,

and after the game was over, we saw the Uruguayan players,

they went into the stands to fight the Colombian supporters. bounce the

bounce the bounce the stands to fight the Colombian supporters. Yeah, Malice to the Palace.
The United States will never be great at soccer until our players care enough to go into the stands and fight people from other countries. I had the exact same thought.
I was like, we can fire, hire, get any coach you want in the world. It's the SEC.
It just means more. Yeah.
That somehow, a malice at the palace situation where they were throwing chairs and fighting fans in the stage, at no point was I like, oh, my God, they have to stop this. I was like, these guys just fucking care about soccer.
This rocks. And that one dude from Uruguay, I think it was Nunez, Darwin Nunez, he was wearing like a sports bra, charging into the stands, just throwing haymakers.
And God bless the cops that were out there because they were just standing and just watching. It was a boys will be boys situation.
Yeah, right. Sometimes you've got to let them fight it out.
Yeah, this is how they deal with a loss. Yeah.
And I had no problem with it. And I would love to see the U.S.
have that type of emotion. We'll never.
We'll never get there. Maybe.
So SEC, what if we did the full Ted Lasso experiment and we got Nick Saban? Just have him coach the team and then bring in an X's nose guys. Have him just talk about football and then have a guy there that's just translating everything that he says into soccer.
Yeah, I like it. I like it.
Hank asked if Columbia was going to play England in their next game.

They should.

Yeah.

Because England did win as well.

It's coming home.

They're going to get killed by Spain.

It's coming home, though.

But it is coming home.

Did you see the Killers concert?

No.

That was incredible.

I think that was in London or in England somewhere.

And they played the end of the game live,

like on this massive screen behind them. I love that.
And then the second the game was over, the killers went into Mr. Brightside, and they shot confetti.
The entire crowd went nuts. This seems to me like an England team of destiny.
Yeah. I love watching those videos in England when they just all throw all full beers at each other.
Yeah. It's just the best time ever.
It's like the Cubs outfield. Yeah.
Who was it that hit that home run montero love a good slam against the dodgers that was one of the most electric moments ever yeah but i don't know spain spain's probably way too good for england but it would be cool to see it come home for once yeah yeah they don't play tiki-taka anymore they don't well because they got that new guy yeah i heard they don't do that this is probably some in-depth soccer people didn't even know we had in our bag. They don't do the tiki-taka, which tiki-taka was –

that was just like if you just made an entire offense out of, like, screens.

It was Phil Jackson's dream offense.

It was a triangle.

Triangle is everywhere.

Yeah, and it just, like, bores you to death until they just –

they keep passing it until they're standing right in front of the goal.

Yeah.

That's talking soccer.

Okay, other things.

U.S. men's basketball team played against Canada last night.

Thank you. until they're standing right in front of the goal yeah that's that's talking soccer uh okay other things u.s men's basketball team played against canada last night uh bad first quarter but then we kicked their ass uh it was awesome hearing bill raftery on the alabama football with them though yeah but like that was a big uh-oh close game first quarter yeah because the U.
u.s should never lose in basketball but there is like a weird thing that can happen with them where they're so talented and the guys aren't like moving on offense and then you play another team that it's a bunch of dudes that have been playing together since they were in elementary school and they know how to play ball together i don't think that's going to happen but that's what it looked like in like in the first quarter. And we had Dylan Brooks still trying to be an agitator even after a loss.
I love that. Cut through Devin Brooks, or Devin, yeah, Devin Booker's interview.
Just walked right in front of him when he was getting interviewed. But the big story about USA Basketball, Hank, Jalen Brown.
What about him? Not on the team. And he's upset.
he's very upset he thinks it's a conspiracy by nike to keep him out he said eric white is now on the team allegedly uh because kawaii pretty shocking news kawaii got hurt and can't play well the clippers brought him home yeah i think the clippers were like we know you you're gonna get hurt yeah please don't. You're not allowed to play.
It actually was perfect that Kawhi showed up and played in some practices, and then as soon as the playoffs started, he's like, I'm out, guys. Yeah, so they brought Kawhi back.
Everybody thought, surely Jalen Brown, he was a snub the first time. He did not get the gig.
They're thinking it's because of Nike because Nike sponsors the U.S. national team.
And then Jalen Brown just tweeted out, I'm not afraid of you or your resources. And then he did the monocle thinking emoji.
He did this one, Hank. Yeah, the Monopoly guy.
Yeah, Monopoly guy. Or is it the Pringles guy? Monopoly guy does not have a monocle.
That's Mandela effect. Yeah, Pringles guy? Pringles guy.
He's got the mustache. Does the Pringles guy have the monocle? Who has the monocle? The Pringles guy doesn't have a monocle.
The Pringles guy has a monocle. Monopoly guy has a monocle? I think Monopoly guy definitely has a monocle.
This guy's talking monocles real quick. Pringles doesn't? Pringles guy just has the mustache and then Monopoly guy.
What's the Monopoly guy's name? It's Penny's work. Monopoly guy doesn't have a monocle?

Oh, he does.

He does.

In an alternate logo, he has a monocle.

Alternate, yeah.

Well, like this one.

But the classic.

That's a monocle.

Yeah.

Classic Monopoly guy does not have a monocle.

So who's the most famous monocle guy?

There's no monocle guy.

I'm going to look this up.

Ben Franklin.

Oh, Mr. Peanut?

Oh, yeah.

Shane.

Look at that.

Shane from the raft.

Yes.

Mr. Peanut is the number one monocle guy.
Maybe we should bring that back. We should do Mount Rushmore and Monocle guys.
I think we just did. Yeah, I think so, too.
Monopoly guy, Pringles guy, Mr. Peanut.
Sam Darnold. Sherlock Holmes.
When he couldn't play in that game. Yeah, Sam Darnold.
Yeah. Yeah, so what do you think, Hank? I mean, I think there's only one ball.
Did you even know this was happening? Totally. Oh, he totally knew, yeah.
Yeah. Well, you're so chill, I didn't know.
We've been talking about it for two days. Yeah, we have not brought it up once.
I mean, we definitely talked about it at length yesterday, but that's fine. It's you rewriting history.
Oh, that sounded very unchill of you. I'm not scared of your resources.
Hank just tweets that after every Mount Rushmore. There's only only one ball so i think it makes sense to bring in someone that's you know a good defensive player is used to coming off the bench he's gonna you know contribute in ways where he doesn't need to be necessarily a superstar and i do think there is probably some truth to the the nike thing where kairi is also you know if jalen brown's a snub kairi's a snub.
Obviously Derek White's a great player. I'm happy for him.
And I think he's going to, you know, contribute to the team. But if we're talking on pure talent, Kyrie and Jalen Brown are better than Derek White.
They're both very outspoken against Nike. Coincidence? Probably not.
Yeah. Finals MVP, Jalen.
Yeah. Not good enough to make the national team? I think not.

Did you see – I had a nice moment.

Micah Potter and Nigel Hayes Davis both got in the game, Wisconsin,

because it's – so they have the team select,

which is like what Cooper Flagg is on.

He should have gotten the gig.

Yeah.

They should have brought him up. Well, they are playing – they're practicing,

but because of Kawhi and KD being out, they let the two of them be on the team for the game against Canada. Pretty fucking cool moment to be like, I got to play on Team USA? Yeah.
That's a – Michael Potter scored. Yeah, there was a great moment too.
I think it was before the game, or maybe it could have been a day or two ago, where Obama went up to every player on the team, dapped them all up, then got to the coaches, and did the very firm handshake. It was the Key and Peele sketch to the point where I thought he was doing it on purpose.
Yes. Like, the handshakes were so rigid and white at the end.
Yes. It was so funny to watch, though.
But, yeah, good job, USA. You beat Canada.
I feel like Canada is going to be almost as tough of a competition as they'll run into.

Like some of the Eastern European teams are probably pretty good too.

France is going to be good.

France will be a problem.

France will be a problem.

NB might be suited for the international game.

Greece is going to be a problem.

Greece is a problem.

Greece, who else is a problem?

You got Giannis and Thanasis.

Yeah, who else?

There's no other problems.

Is there anyone?

Slovenia?

Out.

Serbia?

Not in.

Slovenia didn't make it.

Oh, okay, wow. Yeah, Lithuania? Luka lost to Giannis.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Spain. Spain.
The Gasol brothers got to be still doing it. Yeah, for sure.
That's for sure happening. Cameroon.
Cameroon. Oh, wait.
Oh, no. Oh, are you a birther? What's going on here? You don't think Embiid should be on Team USA? I forgot.
You think he's ring chasing? He is. It is, yeah.
Don't you want Embiid on Team USA, though? He fouled out in 12 minutes, so it's not like he's going to help too much. It's only five fouls, but that's crazy that he fouled out in five minutes.
I didn't realize that.

It's preseason.

It's preseason Olympics.

It was.

It literally was preseason Olympics.

Yeah, but still.

Everyone's freaking out about Embiid.

Who cares about preseason?

The game didn't count.

Well, I feel like you have to practice like you play.

Sounds like you're freaking out about Embiid, dude.

I mean, I'm not saying we're chill over here.

You're kind of coming at us. I'm not chill.

I'm not chill.

Max, what happened was Hank just pointed out a fact. Hank is bad.
Put it on a quote card. Hank is bad? Bad.
Bad. Maybe he means bad as in good, as in chill.
I'm bad. It's a bad motherfucker.
Bad. Okay, a couple other things.
One, next week, EA Sports College football is out.

Huge.

Doug's is going to come back.

I'll release a schedule maybe Sunday.

But Sunday, PFT, Hank, and Max can get in on it as well.

We're going to do a little preview stream.

First look.

5 Central to 7 Central, 6 to 8 Eastern on our channels. So we'll be streaming from the office.
First look, you'll get to watch us play the game. I think we should use it.
We should maybe play a couple scrimmages, but we also should toy around and see what team I should pick. I'm thinking also about what our roles on the staff would be.
I want you guys to be – if anyone wants to be defensive coordinator and actually play the game with me but also uh i would love to have a recruiting director so i can blame someone for not getting me the best recruits that feels like a good role for hank yeah strength coach strength coach yes that would be awesome like that coach would be great yeah okay so we'll figure it out but yeah tune in we're gonna be doing a stream's going to be a preview stream. It's the most anticipated video game, I think, release ever.
It's going to change how summer's dealt with. I'm excited to see what the different things you can do behind the scenes are.
Yeah. I heard you were going to make a burner count.
Yeah, we're going to get – Burner count, yeah, I like that. We're basically – we'll play a couple games, but we're also going to just kind of get deep into the game and figure out what's going on.
Can you choose not to suspend your running for duis we'll try yeah yeah we'll give it a shot um but yeah tune in for that uh paul skeins threw no hitter through seven innings so he had what how many pitches 99 took him out before he got to 100 i get it but also fuck that so like dude he's he's he's been in MLB for three months. Imagine if he threw a no-hitter.
That would be so sick. It seems like they just have Paul Skeen's rules, like they had the Strasburg rules back in the day, where it's like if he throws 100 pitches, that's bad.
99 pitches is good. I don't know why.
Okay, so I understand you don't want him to throw 140 pitches, but if you're at 99, put him out there for the eighth inning. See if he can get out of it in 10 pitches.
And then you go again. You know? Like, what's the difference between 99 pitches and 110 pitches? There's nothing.
There's nothing. Well, it's 11.
It's 11 pitches. 11 pitches, yeah.
I was hoping that the Pirates were going to throw a combined no-hitter. Because that would kind of be like a weird thing where it's like, oh, yeah, he had a no-hitter.
The team had a no-hitter. I apologize for all Pittsburgh fans listening to this.
But if I were not thinking about them, I would say that they're saving his arm for when he gets signed by the Yankees. Yes.
Yeah. So you're saying that it wouldn't have been as – No, it would have.
I said a combined no-hitter. It wouldn't have been as meaningful.
No, it would have been as meaningful because you would have been like, I was part of a no hitter. But you just said that you were upset that they took him out.

I am upset they took him out because I wanted to see him throw it by himself.

But if they had thrown the whole no hitter, it would have been awesome too.

A no hitter is a no hitter, bro.

You ever think there's probably people, I always just think about the 100 people

who this is their first episode of Pardon My Take.

They're like, what was that?

It's a zero hitter.

What just happened?

According to Max, it would have been a combined zero hitter.

What was that 20 seconds exchange that just occurred?

You can't explain it.

It's usually some deep thing that we have to needle somewhere.

Sometimes people don't even know what we're doing when we do it.

Even if you do listen to the show, something maybe happened off camera yeah off screen and we're just like spending valuable podcast time just making one of our producers lives miserable yeah or just valuable podcast time fighting the same fight that we've been fighting for years yeah just rehashing it because that's what guys do yeah it is it really is the most chill most chill guy thing to do. Let me bring up the thing that we fought about years ago and just keep picking it up like we've never dropped it.
Memes has been on a pip for two years. That's true.
Memes has been on a pip. Can we tell the story about the the david wells interview or no max forgot to uh record one of the cameras and it was great because i was like memes i was like memes you're gonna be like max is gonna be on a pip the pips off you and he's like no way this is gonna be hard for me to get big social numbers so i'm just gonna get even deeper into the pit it's like everything just rolls down to me kind of true max fucked up it's gonna be on me yeah yeah it was it turned out great that was a great interview yeah david welles legendary he's a he's a football guy who played baseball yeah yeah great great interview uh and then i also had i found the dumbest hypothetical ever you guys want to hear it this was going around uh the internet yesterday office debates is ryan cone 24 office debate today would you rather get handed 30k right now or play a week in the big leagues no pay uh 30k 30k all day like would i rather you what position right you whatever position position you would just get like if it was if the hypothetical was you got to be good at baseball and play for a week but if you put me on a on an mlb team for a week i think it'd be the most miserable week of your life no that's no confidence dude you got to bet on yourself i would bet on myself personally you would like say they put you out in outfield you what if they put you at third base yeah you never know you never know what if i'm really sick just every single play just being a disaster for you yeah you gotta bet on yourself you could parlay that into hundreds of millions of dollars man dh you just have to be dh no i think you have to play the field now for this hypothetical i mean it'd be cool to hang out with the guys, but the guys would hate you after one game.
Probably less than that. But you suck.
Yeah, probably less than that. Probably first practice.
Yeah, probably warm-ups. Yeah.
What's my ERA, though, if we extrapolated what that was against University of Chicago? Oh, I don't know. I think my ERA is what? I led in two runs? Yeah.
Okay, inning i have a nine i have a nine two innings

it was two two innings so i have a 9.0 era yeah that's better than a lot of big league players

there might be an unearned run there too yeah that's true good point yeah oh no it was a balk

which is probably my fault as a pitcher yeah well it was jerry calling yeah but i mean who knows

just like i i've got that irrational confidence sometimes where it's like you never know until

you step into a situation maybe you're just sick at it yeah we found that out with wakeboarding that's a good point yeah wakeboarding video when is wakeboarding video coming out i think it's out it's out now it is already out it's already out hank was so chilling it it was unreal how chill we uh we're not wakeboarders we're not wakeboard i think we all knew it going into it, too. We were like, none of us will be good at this.
I said, I think, maybe it's not in the video, but I definitely said at 1.0% chance. One person is good, and it's the last person that any person is going to expect.
But it was very chill vibes. It was.
And Hank has definitely got the wakeboarding bug. He's he's like he's talking about it he's thinking about it might be a mount rushmore punishment do you have to get up on a wakeboard for five minutes it'll never happen it'll never hang you get up for five minutes yes i mean we talk about irrational confidence betting on yourself yes i thought i broke my too.
It turns out if you hold on too tight when you're wakeboarding, you can seriously damage your wrist. Yeah.
I couldn't open a door. I was trying to open a Coors Light can, and I had to ask people for help.
It's tough. It was very sad.
I felt like an 80-year-old man. Can I say something that was very sad? It was probably the most I've worked my core out in a long time and last night I googled which side is your appendix on because I thought my appendix was about to burst uh turns out my pain is on my left side my appendix is on my right side that's good and it's all just because of weight yeah it's just but I was like there's no way that I'm this sore two days after.

I must have an appendix about to burst.

The trick is, Hank, you're supposed to keep your arms straight when it pulls you off.

You do have to keep your arms straight.

Bend your arms and use too much of your forearm muscle,

and then you can't open up a water bottle afterwards.

You've got to keep those arms straight.

It's good to know.

Straight as could be.

Okay, anything else before we do our Mount Rushmore?

We'll get to Firefest.

Anything else in the sports world? I saw that the All-Star game is going to have robot bartenders. What? Yeah, robot bartenders at the All-Star game.
If you're a fan, you want a drink, you go up, and a robot pours your drink for you. Not only does it the Fox robot, it's not Cletus.
I would love Cletus. It's probably going to spin around an iPad afterwards and ask you for a tip.
I heard that they're also going to like wave you over and make small talk with you. Whoa.
Which is fucking creepy. I'm very nervous that Christian Yelch is going to be in the Home Run Derby.
No, we're good. He's starting to hit a lot of home runs.
We're good. We're fine.
We're fine with that. This could be the end of the podcast.
He's a choke artist. That'd be actually funny if he won and we ended the podcast and our last episode was just like eight straight interviews that we did this week.
Just dumped them all. Here you go.
Yeah, we're ready, Christian. Yeah.
That's what you don't know. We've got an apocalypse bunker of interviews that we're ready to unleash.

Okay, it's Mount Rushmore time. We're doing the Mount Rushmore of sandwiches.
How have we never done this? I don't know. It's going to be contentious, though.
It is going to be contentious. I don't think it's going to be contentious.
Well, it's going to be contentious because I feel like everyone's going to have a stacked board. Oh.
So we're going to have to go at each other's picks. So it's an all-time draft.
Should we just say hot dog now? We're doing that. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I'm okay with that. That's the only thing I can think of being contentious.
I think if you say hot dog, you deserve what's coming to you. Yeah.
Okay. That's a good point.
Okay. Free market.
That's a good point. We also need to figure out what the punishment is because we realize the calling thing is, well, great idea is not going to work because you're basically illegally taping people.
So let's figure out what the punishment is right now before we get too deep into Mount Rushmore season or at least throw out some ideas no or at least throw out some ideas that we can marinate on and maybe we'll finalize it next week I like but we don't want to get so far deep into Mount Rushmore that if someone's way behind they're like I'm not doing that I like the idea of sending somebody on a road trip that they don't want to go on okay like making them travel in the most inconvenient way possible to the worst destination for no reason. Okay.
Run a marathon? Fuck. No.
That's not doing that. You completely twisted my words on that.
Yeah. I'm just thinking of ideas.
Yeah. Walk a marathon.
What else we got? Send them to the Arctic Circle. What if I was also thinking like, what if we all came up with personal punishments that would be good for streams, that would take a long time, but also not be like the worst thing ever? So you could like, we could all come up with our own punishments.
And we could modify the other person part like i'll put them together and then we'll have a group discussion about all and then we can tweak the punishments to make them all relatively right equal right this should be a homework assignment right or next week yeah next week yeah because i was just thinking about it like i would like if i did like something some ridiculous uh like basketball shooting thing that would take me hours and hours and hours like bft you probably don't want to do that so we should figure out something like specific to each of us nah i think it's gonna be universal okay all right this is hey this is no bad idea i actually don't mind big cat's idea but then we're back but then we're back to the situation where you get upset because of the hot dogs because big cat and i are larger than you Yeah, right. Exactly.
You're the key complainer of anything. You're always like, oh, you want to do that.
Well, yeah. I mean, you want to eat hot dogs.
I don't want to eat so many hot dogs that I feel sick. I think we should think about it.
You're so dumb. You could have just been like hole in one stream for yourself.
Yeah.

We should think for the viewers.

Okay.

Well, you're being really un-chill.

You're guys.

I think Hank doesn't want to do homework.

Yeah.

Which is actually, to be fair, kind of chill.

That is chill. I mean, look at your hat right now.

Oh, shit.

Not chill.

Buddy.

There we go.

Now you're chill.

All right.

Let's go.

Mount Rushmore of sandwiches. Who's up first? Max.
I'm up first. The standings, by the way, are Max is on fire.
He's been hot. He's got 15 points.
Your defense is terrifying. I have 14 points.
PFT has 11. Hank has 10.
Still very close. Yeah.
It's anyone's game. Anyone's game.

So that's why we got to figure out the punishment.

Yep.

What if we did that idea where we come up with different ideas,

but each person gets somebody else to think of the punishment for?

Oh, draw out of hat ideas?

No.

So like I would come up with punishment for Hank.

Oh.

Hank would come up with one for Max.

Max, you, you, me.

Something like that.

Yeah.

Hank, gold, two days without complaining challenge impossible did you do it i think i can i also kind of like the idea if we did if we came up with like five or six and we did a buy hat i like that idea yeah yeah we all we don't know what's going to happen you can't prepare for it yeah we all submit an idea and it's like because i do think no matter what it is the punishment should be something that we can easily stream so the people can get involved yep that's what it has to be yeah we should all have one approved idea yeah and it gets drawn at the end of the mount rushmore everyone come with two good ideas for monday's show and then we'll whittle it down to the the best four ideas and then those go into a hat and when we get to the end of mount rushmore season the loser draws out of a hat love it yeah i love okay okay all right great all right who's up i'm up uh cheesesteak one one good pick you can't it's a good pick it's a good start we it's a good pick it's a sandwich so good that we've we've made a brand off of this sandwich. I love cheesesteaks.
I was saying, mmm, because I want one. Oh, gotcha.
I was just like, mmm. Good pick.
What do you thought I was going to? I don't know. I don't know.
I was just. It sounds like you got defensive.
I don't know. Are you a Wiz Whitt guy, though? Yeah.
I am. If I'm in Philly, I'm getting a Cooper Sharp with onions.
Cooper Sharp wit. Cooper Sharp.
Wit. Yes.
Wiz wit. Part of my cheesesteak.
All right. Shout out part of my cheesesteak.
Okay. My one one, I'm going to go with an Italian.
So by that, I mean it's got to have like three different kinds of meats on it. Usually like a soprassata, gabagool.
maybe pepperoni on there you get the hot peppers the oil the uh the italian shake provolone some people put mozzarella i like provolone a little bit melted toasted bun spicy mustard love it heavenly sandwich love it am i up yes you are up chicken parm good pick done i knew you were gonna go go there Cheese steak is my 1-1 Chicken parm would be my 1-2 I had to go cheese steak But if I didn't go cheese steak I was going to go chicken parm And Italian was probably It was up there This is a loaded draft This is a loaded draft There's so many good options There's going to be some X-Factors Take Take a hot dog. I'm going to go with a Cubano.
Okay. Interesting.
No, I do like that sandwich. I didn't have it on my board, but I really do like that sandwich.
I didn't think Hank had that in him, though. I had it on my big board as a break glass in case of emergency.
My board is shattered. Wait, did you only have chickenm cheese steak in italian i got some other ones but that was a majority uh three three and then we'll go with blt okay okay classic okay never fails okay some of these sandwiches you can get bad versions of them it's almost impossible to get a bad version of a blt yep i'm happy because I got my second pick.
Bacon, egg, and cheese.

Yep. can get bad versions of them it's almost impossible to get a bad version of a blt yep i'm happy because i got my second pick uh bacon bacon egg and cheese yep yeah good pick one that's really good it's just the classic what what was that face a sandwich yeah what did you say what was the second word you said yeah yeah that's a breakfast sandwich wait wait were you trying to make the case that it wasn't a sandwich i it's 100% a sandwich.
I haven't said a word. But you gave us.

All right, restart the clock.

Hank, not complaining.

I didn't.

The gaslighting of America.

Hank takes advantage.

If you're a podcast-only listener, Hank takes advantage of you so much

because you don't see his face.

It's true.

There's actually probably someone just who's never watched us.

You give Hank such a hard time.

And they're like, they're so mean to Hank.

It's like, you didn't see his face.

Yeah, go watch the video.

It was a face when I said bacon, egg, and cheese. You did a face.
I was thinking. You did a face when I did bacon, egg, and cheese.
Okay. I think that's a good pick.
Thank you. Yeah, for sure.
I mean, you guys both definitely had it on your list. I actually had that on there, but I also had with the hash brown on it.
I like it when you add the hash brown. For sure.
It gives it a little crisp to right this is great because i got i got my number two overall pick wow here i thought cubano was your number two overall i did have cubano on my list which is it is a good sandwich it's a really good sandwich it's not one it's not first round hey how many cubanos have you had so many chef are you just in a cubano phase right now though because that's the other thing about you you're a phase eater huge phase eater yeah you when you i i i realized this i don't know probably like five or six years ago i can't remember what it might have been meatball no steak and cheese it was steak and cheese you had steak and cheese every single day for like three weeks and then i didn't see you with the steak and cheese for the rest of the year and i was like what happened you're like i eat in phases, and I just go as hard as I can, and then I stop. I'm the same exactly with music.
I find a song I like. I listen to it every day over and over again.
Actually, people like that with food, too. Yeah, no, I do it a little bit, but Hank does it to an extreme where he won't look at it for the rest of the year.
The movie, I watched the movie. It's called Chef, right? Yeah.
I watched that movie, and it was in a Cubano phase for a long time so are you in a cubano phase right now no okay but i'm i'm open if there's good cubanos in chicago i haven't really tried to fall back in but yeah yeah okay i'm psyched about this one uh number two peanut butter and jelly oh yeah classics classic yeah and i i'd like Uncrustables as well. Well, no, no, you can't put that on the ground.
That's not a sandwich. It's peanut butter and jelly.
No, it's peanut butter and jelly. It's also not.
It's a sandwich you need two bread, a piece of bread. Peanut butter and jelly is so good.
Yeah. It's a classic.
So, yeah, put that on. Yeah, you should have Uncrustables as your pick.
A great part of being a parent is getting back into peanut butter and jellies. Because you don't make peanut butter and jellies as, like and now i make them all the time and i'm just little toasted bread yeah and there's butter and there's leftovers from your kids just grab those pop the best we can keep this going i'm gonna go grilled cheese yeah same sort of same sort of i had those weighed pretty much yeah they're nostalgic sandwiches that are really good every time you have especially chef like you you brought

it up the you get like a couple different types of cheese and there's different options you can add a slice of tomato in there maybe a slice like that was that all melt shop in new york i used to be that was a big phase of mine yep and then i'm didn't think that this one would fall turkey club Okay. Now, I will say a turkey club has the potential on the low end to be very dry.

Mm-hmm. think that this one would fall turkey club okay now i i will say a turkey club has the potential on the low end to be very dry mayo i'm saying on the low end it can be very dry i i love a turkey club yeah like a turkey i like i like a i wasn't gonna say i like more than a blt that's fine because turkey club implies that it's got bacon on it Oh yeah You take a BLT with Turkey Club

Yeah, Turkey Club

It's a club sandwich

Yeah

Okay

My turn?

Yeah

I love this

Ice cream

Ice cream sandwich

Dessert sandwich

Nice

We're mixing it up a little bit

Okay

Nice

Love it ice cream

I was in a big ice cream sandwich phase for about

I'd say five years when I was in New York

Yep

Good pick

Thank you. a little bit.
Yeah, okay. Nice.
Love it ice cream. I was in a big ice cream sandwich phase for about, I'd say,

five years

when I was in New York.

Yep.

Good pick.

All right.

I'll go Italian beef.

Love it.

Italian beef.

Yep.

What is that,

not a sandwich?

No, I was...

If I could say anything.

Holy shit.

I was just making...

I thought...

It took me a second

to process that

was different than Italian.

Like, when I heard Italian... Okay, all right.
That that it was different than Italian. Like, I heard Italian.

Okay, all right.

That's fair.

That's fair.

Hey, that's fair.

Hey, that's fair.

We're not –

The spicy Giardiniere?

Yeah.

We're nothing but fair on this show.

We are fair.

Yeah, we are fair.

We're the fairest guys.

We are fair.

I'm going to go with Chicken Club.

Much better than a Turkey Club.

Much better than a –

You got BLT and Chicken Club?

I love it, Hank.

Okay. I love it.

I mean, I lost this draft, but I didn't take a hot dog. Let's go

Reuben. Okay.
Yeah, I had Reuben on the list. I had Reuben on the

list. I had Reuben on the list of meats on a room.
What happened

in this draft? I think I have a good board. No, I don't.
What kind

of meats in Reuben where you have Cubano, BLT, a chicken BLT, chicken club. Yeah, I wish I could change that last time.
Where would you say this draft went wrong for you, Hank? What? Where would you say this draft went wrong for you? Going last and getting my top five picks all taken but how did you wait a minute wait a minute she's think uh Italian and chicken parm were always going to go one two three I was confused there was a second where I like they're like I didn't know how this was going to go I thought people would think cheese steak was a sub so they were going to take us and chicken parm too like a sub is. Chicken parm is better as a non-sandwich.
Chicken parm is infinitely better as just chicken parm. I don't know.
Chicken parm sandwich. How often do you order a chicken parm sandwich? Wait a minute.
You were going to pick those. I didn't think it was going to.
I thought it was going to get to me. You thought chicken parm and cheesesteak were underrated, low-key sandwiches.
No, I just thought you guys might have thought them as subs, so you wouldn't take them. You were talking trash, and then you were saying how upset you were that they didn't get to you.
He outsmarted us. I just thought you guys were going to have more deli sandwiches to start.
I thought he had some hidden gems with cheesesteak. Why would we ever think that? I don't know.
I literally wrote down when we were doing sandwiches, I just started doing a brain dump, and it was Italian, chicken parm, cheesesteak, and grilled cheese. Those were the first four I wrote down and then went from there.
So I have my last one. I love you, Hank.
I do, too. You're chill right now.
Yeah, you're chill. Thank you.
You are chill. I'm not a foodie.
I mean, we've gone over this. You're not a foodie.
You've probably had 100 times more sandwiches. Every time we do one of these, we're just going to have to keep doing food rush more.
Every time you order a sandwich, you order two. I only order one.
You're 10 years older. 100 times.
Do the math. That's a lot of sandwiches.
100 times more sandwiches. 100 times more, though.
How much older? He's 10 years older, 365 times two. So, Hank so Hank wait you think he eats two more sandwiches two sandwiches a day Hank Hank hold on so how how how many sandwiches do you think you how old are you 31 how many sandwiches you think you eat a year 150 200 let's say 200 200 all right so and then we'll all right so let's say let's say 200.
You think I've eaten 560,000 sandwiches. Half a million sandwiches, which would mean, I'll go same math, that I eat 15,555 sandwiches a year.

All right.

So it's probably closer to 42 sandwiches a day.

Ten times.

We all ten times.

All right.

I'll go.

That's my pick.

Buffalo chicken sup.

Yep.

Okay.

That was I love it.

That was a good one.

The best.

Those are honestly every time. What? Nothing.
What? I can't say anything. I can't even exist.
What? Yeah. What's the problem? What's the problem with buffalo chicken sub? That was a joke.
No, it wasn't. No, buffalo chicken sub is great.
I prefer the. Barbara.
Barbara Cuffalo. Barbara Cuffalo.
Well, I knew you were going to pick buffalo Chicken Sub because you can't take anything spicy. Right.
Yeah. I've gotten better at that, though.
I'm a hungover spicy guy now. Since we were – really? Yeah.
It does something to me. Yeah.
You sweat it out a little bit. Yeah.
It's nice. We were talking about doing two sandwiches.
My favorite combo is doing a cheesesteak and a buffalo chicken because it's like a a little something different. See, no, I don't do that.
If I'm doing two, I'll go a hot and a cold. Oh, Italian-yed cheesesteak, Italian-yed cheesesteak, yeah, I don't hate that.
That's a good order. Yep.
All right. I'm conflicted on my last one here because I've got a personal favorite that I feel like it might be one of the best sandwiches in the world.
Go it so i'm gonna go with it uh banh mi the vietnamese sandwich it's so i i think it's rated as like the best sandwich in the world i read that in places by foodies people that like food um but yeah it's like it's a good sandwich it's pork it's uh cilantro it's got marinated carrots it's got some sort of sauce whatever it is it's awesome yeah it's neat i I would say it's worthy of a first-round grade. So this is my...
You're calling your shot. The piste de resistance.
Yeah. If we know anything, though, ADWLs probably aren't going to...
Well, I've never heard of it. I mean, they were upset that I picked Duck.
Yeah, that's true. Very upset.
If Hank has never heard of it, it's probably good. Yeah.
Bulgagi as well. Bul i know max isn't gonna pick that no i'm not i have i was really hoping you were gonna pick one of my two i have two in my head that i there they could be two of my favorite same same they could have been my first pick but i have to meet memes you decide which one you should know no i i'm gonna go meatball i'm gonna go meatball okay what was the other one i should have picked a french dip picked a French dip.
A French dip. Okay, you made the right choice probably.
A French dip is so good though. Meatball is...
I should have done Meatball instead of Ruben. I don't know why I didn't.
You and Max are going to take Meatball too. Max is the second food draft in a row taking Meatballs, I think.
No, yeah, and I've gotten great value both times. Yeah.
Alright, a lot on the board. Yeah.
Not for me. Yeah.
Nashville hot chicken would have been good, too. I was between that and the banh mi at the end.
I thought about a po' boy. A po' boy.
Tuna? That's what Shane said. A tuna salad.
A tuna melt. I love it.
Personally love a tuna melt, but that won't look good on a ground. Chicken salad is very good.

I don't like a chicken salad sandwich, though.

I'm okay with chicken salad.

I love it.

With some chips in it.

Yeah, so good.

It's a crunch.

I do love peanut butter and jelly.

I also love peanut butter and fluff and peanut butter and banana.

Sausage, egg, and cheese also would be kind of a cop-out move.

It's like doing chicken club when someone said turkey club, but that's fine.

What about a hamburger?

I mean, I did fucking – I did foreplay. DFT did sex.
I didn't do that to you. Hank, you're not chill right now.
Okay, so Max makes a comment, but then I make a comment. I got your back.
I got your back. Got it.
You're right. Yeah, you're right.
Got it. No, I was just saying I was thinking about doing sausage, egg, and cheese, but it was a little close to a bacon, egg, and cheese.
Yeah, you didn't do it. Beef on Weck would have been good, too.
Yep. Beef on Weck.
That's similar to a French dip. It's a buffalo thing.
You've been to Buffalo with us? Yeah, I've never gotten. It's like a poppy seed.
When we go to Buffalo, we only get, we go to Wingnuts for lunch and dinner every day. Pulled pork.
Pulled pork's very good. A Philly roast pork sandwich is like one of the best sandwiches that you can get.
Yes, it is. With the D'Alessandro's? Broccoli Rob on there? No, not D'Alessandro's.
Why am I blanking on this? Steve's? No, what the fuck? Why am I blanking on this? Arby's? John's Roast Pork. John's Roast Pork.
I think D'Alessandro's is where we got it from. It was good.
Well, D'Alessandro's is a big cheesesteak spot. Yeah, it was very good.
Sausage and peppers. That's kind of a hot dog.
It's hot dog. That is a good sub.
Sausage and peppers, I think it's a little different. Yeah.
Because the peppers make it more. I don't know.
I had it on there, but it's too close for a hot dog. Hamburger, I was thinking about it.
It's the same thing as a hot dog. You can't do it.
It's not a sandwich. Tip of the cap to hamburger.
I also thought like, how different are subs and sandwiches? Are they the same thing? Are you still on this? What? I mean, I call it a hoagie, but I'm not going to be the one. But it's crazy you're still on this because a hot dog is the same thing.
But again, you would have picked all the subs. I know.
So you agree with us that our picks were correct, but now that you didn't get them, you're like – I'm an acquiring mom. Also, a Cubano is on like a sub-type role.
Yeah. You're 1-1.
Yeah, once the floodgates opened and I jumped in. You would have picked that.
If we had done this draft again and we're like, Pink, you get the first three picks, you would have gone Italian, chicken parm, cheese. No, I got my one, too.
Cubano going in the first. I love a Cubano.
It's a good sandwich. Yeah, that's fair.
You've seen Chef? Yeah, I've seen Chef. It's a great movie.
Panini? Yeah, panini sandwich is good. Yeah, you got to say, I like a chicken pesto panini.
I was going to say, I like a turkey sun-dried tomato provolone. Yep, that's a good one as well.

That's a good one. I love how animated

Max gets about these food drafts. Food drafts are great.

We should keep them coming. What about the

what's the sandwich with no meat?

Loaded ball era.

We're serving

on meatballs.

Not for Hank. He couldn't.

What's the

what is it? Is it? I don't even know what the name of it is when it's just fresh mozzarella and tomato. Oh, caprese? Yeah, that's – listen, I eat meat on every single meal, but that's the one time I'll be like, that's fine.
It's the Italian grilled cheese. Yeah, you get the balsamic.
Except for it's not grilled, but it's good. It's fresh.
It tastes fresh. Yes, fresh.
Yeah. Ham and cheese.
Not bad. Yeah.
Okay, ham and cheese. Ham and cheese is one of those ones that like once a year, I'd be like, man, I really want a ham and cheese.
Kind of like bologna. Oh, I thought you were going to say cocaine.
Well, mortadella has changed the game with bologna. You can get a mortadella sandwich and that's the same thing as bologna, but it's acceptable.
Every now and then like yeah i kind of want a bologna sandwich try bologna butter and fluff i said yeah i said that some peanut butter and fluff and peanut butter and banana banana is good yeah you're gonna banana is the lead mayo just mayo sandwich just mayo so you have blt mayo blt is a great pick there You can build around BLT. I did.
Yeah. Well.
What was it again? Cubano? BLT. Chicken Club.
Rubin. That's a great draft.
When's the last time you had a Rubin? Never. Yeah, that's the thing.
I kept asking Hank what meat is on a Rubin, and he never answered. Beef.
No, it's pastrami, right? No, it's corned beef. Corned beef, right? Pastrami is another sandwich once or twice a year.
Pastrami. Yeah.
Pastrami, melted Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard. Are there any we're forgetting? There's probably a lot.
There's probably tons of sandwiches. Tuna melt was one that I actually thought would have gone in this draft.
Yeah. I love a tuna melt, but there's so many people that hate tuna melts.
Yeah, I feel like tuna just gets a bad rap because of the smell, and people complain about it. Because if you break out tuna, yeah, it does.
Like, you should only eat tuna at home, but eating tuna at home is great. Yeah.
Like, tuna is a great sandwich. Shane gets a tuna sandwich once a week.
Yeah, he should be in prison. Yeah, once a week.
Yeah, you can't do that at work. You eat it at did at home he also there's one place that he's found that doesn't put it's only tuna and mayo they don't put celery in it oh and he refuses to eat anything with any tuna that has like anything but tuna and mayo oh no you gotta go celery onions sometimes carrots yeah he like he gets disgusted when he orders tuna,

and it comes with anything but tuna.

Oh, another one that's like every now and then,

like every three months, egg salad sandwich.

I get like a weird craving for it.

I don't like the egg salad sandwich.

I love an egg salad sandwich.

I thought of it.

We love every sandwich.

God damn it, we are.

We literally are saying every sandwich. What about pimento cheese? Never had one of those.
No, I think pimento cheese is overrated. Never had one.
That's my take. I like a roast beef, just like a sometimes.
There's better cheese. The problem with pimento cheese is there's absolutely no crunch or hard factor in there.
It's just soft. Just soft ass sandwich.
Right. Any other sandwiches we love max i don't know a regular turkey yeah well i was going between that but a turkey club just adds the bacon yeah no it's true just a regular roast beef good sandwich i don't think anyone took just fried chicken sandwich right yeah like a chick-fil-a yeah that's a big mess yeah that's actually a huge big mess Like a Chick-fil-A.
Chick-fil-A. Yeah.
That's a big miss. Yeah.
That's actually a huge, huge taco. Yeah.
A taco sandwich? Taco sandwich. Torta.
Chalupa sandwich. I never had a torta.
Wait, so subs are different. Wraps are not sandwiches.
Again, I just wanted on the record. You were going to take all the subs, but because you didn't get one, you're mad.
No, I'm just trying to figure out what bread counts as a sandwich and what bread doesn't. Like a wrap, like a taco is not a sandwich.
Correct. But a sub is.
Correct. I feel like we've been pretty consistent on that.
And again, you would have picked all the subs. I wasn't.
Would you have picked all the subs? Yeah. My list was chicken parm, steak and cheese, Italian.
What about a euro? Does that count as a sandwich? No. Just a wrap? Just like a normal chicken cutlet.
Yeah. That's one that people will be upset about.
I guess it's a chicken club. Chicken club, yeah.
Lunchables are pretty good, too. Lunchables are good.
It's just crazy. I just find it funny that you guys rattle off a thousand sandwiches, but the only one that I brought up, Max, is like, oh, chicken club.
Well, you just did that. You said why you did that.
No, you made me think. You said turkey club.
I was like, actually, chicken club's better. So I picked it.
But it's because PFT said during sex. Yeah, the sex thing.
That's why you said that. It's residual.
You're holding on to this. Well, no, that's like, yeah, it's's like there's no you know there's there's clearly no it's not a gentleman's rushmore anymore well i lost has it ever been a gentleman's rushmore i back in my day i at least i used to think what are you i i lost that or you guys started loading the teams together honestly if i could go back and and do one thing to change the course of part of my take my answer would be to never do the pizza topping draft from that moment on yeah hank has been the biggest baby about my rush yeah you guys ruin the integrity of the sport but it's a seminal moment in our history yeah we're trying to help you you have lost so many drafts in a row you guys ruin the integrity double anchov season.
Double anchovies. No, double olives.
Double olives, yeah. Hank also just said you stack the teams.
Your teammate last year is in first place right now. Oh.
That's interesting. Long season, buddy.
Yeah, but like you can't just be like you stack the team. That had nothing to do with the person.
It was the two hosts, you idiot. They're still hosts.
Yeah, but now they're on the same team. It's different.
That's the whole point. You just proved my point.
Hank, I think the comments are going to say you're being a baby. I don't give a fuck.
Someone did say it every single day. Someone did say that we're getting along.
They listened to Wednesday's show. They're like, you guys are getting along too well.
Fix this. Start shitting on Hank and Mike.
I don't think we are. We were shitting on Hank on Wednesday.
Maybe it was Max's. They don't like that Max's.
We're getting along with Max. It is what it is.
I'm used to it. Yeah, I mean, you take the bullets for us.
Yeah. Yeah.
Happy to do it. That's what you're here for.

And now, here's Blake Griffin and Josh Allen. Okay, we now welcome on two very, very, very, very special guests.
It is Chill Week, presented by Coors Light and Chevy Silverado. It's our good friends, Josh Allen and Blake Griffin.
We just basically decided to have you guys on to tell us why you love us yeah take it away you were just telling me about it there's I think what do we have three yeah we had three we kind of three really good ones I'll do the first one I'll do the second one you make us're funny. Yeah.
It's kind of the same as number one. You're ugly as shit.
Oh, yeah. Okay, okay.
That's good. It makes us feel better knowing that you guys are funny, but you're also ugly as shit.
Yeah, I think that's valid. That's valid criticism.
Blake, I saw you were just on our good friend Stavi's podcast. That was very funny.
He asked you what you were going to plug. Like, were you there to plug anything? And you said, just think about me from time to time.
Don't forget, man. Don't forget Blake Griffin.
I'm on board with that message. In fact, I'll go one further.
We're going to plug Blake's top, was it like top 48 dunks compilation on YouTube? Oh, cool. Go watch that.
Go watch that YouTube clip of Blake. What about you, Josh? Do you want to plug anything to plug anything what about all your work in the i will also plug his top 48 yeah yeah really nice but we could talk about your work in the community we could yeah did you ever see that clip the bills when we were at the bills training camp last year they came up to us the bills pr they're like hey can we uh do a quick interview with you guys and we're like yeah sure and they were like can you guys talk about Josh's work in the community and we're just like yeah dude like he's all the work he does in the community is incredible like we don't know what you do but it's good you do great you guys appreciate it I'm like dude no one does more for the community I'm assuming it would actually also like to plug his work in the community I would assume that it's good work in the community so we we're like, yeah, we appreciate it, but I don't know.
It's good work. They're like bulldozing schools or something.
It's very good work. Yeah.
He's like, Josh Allen flipped me off. Josh Allen burned down a library yesterday.
All right. So we're here for the American Century Championship out in Lake Tahoe.
The tournament you can watch on NBC. It's going to be awesome.
How are we feeling about our golf game?

I'll start with you, Josh.

Feeling okay.

Every year I've come to this, I think this is my fourth or fifth year.

Okay.

And I've gotten better every single year.

Yeah.

So just got to keep going.

What's the highest you finished?

I think I was like mid-40s last year.

What was the lowest?

Oh, probably like 90-something.

Okay.

Yeah.

So we're looking to improve this year? 30s? Looking to improve. You give me in the 30s? Yep.
That's a good good because that means I'm probably shooting anywhere from 75 to 80 all three days. That'd be good.
I heard that you were actually getting too good at golf. Keon Coleman said that you're so good at golf that you won't golf with him.
It's Keon. Yeah.
He's got to earn his stripes. Yeah, he's got to earn his stripes.
Yeah, he's a rookie. That's Keon, man.
Wait, you remember Keon? I tell you what, if I had a nickel every time, Keon didn't want to play golf. Actually, he's a clip machine, though.
He is a clip machine. I'll tell you what, we went to Topgolf, and the dude can actually swing.
He swings it hard, and it goes a long way, but you don't know where it's going. Yeah.
But he's actually got a decent swing first thing. He can't play.
Yeah. Keon is – you should know Keon, Blake, because he's a perfect guy for the NBA to NFL, NFL to NBA thing.
Oh, yeah. He averaged like one point a game at Michigan State, and then he was an incredible wide receiver at Florida State.
By the way, guys who average one, two, three are getting drafted. Yeah, that that's true.
That is true. Why is that funny? Why is that funny? It's off potential.
It is. Why is that funny? That's not funny.
That's not funny. That's true, though.
They do get drafted. All right, so, Blake, how's your golf game doing? I'm more of a Keon type of golfer.
You never know where it's going. Range felt good today, but.
You looked good. Thanks, man.
Thanks. Yeah, I need that.
I need every bit of confidence. This is my first time, so we'll see.
Yeah. But you've been playing.
I mean, you're retired. So you've been playing golf nonstop.
I have been playing a lot more. What's your handicap? It's, you know, 12.
12, 13. Did you say 12? 13.
13. But you never know.
It's 15. You just might step out there and be sick.
By 15. Yeah, you could just be awesome that day.
I mean, listen, I'm just hoping to eliminate double bogeys. You know, bogeys don't kill you, right? Is that what it is? Bogeys are fine.
Bogeys are zero. Doubles are minus two.
And then you pick it up after a double bogey. A par is great.
Plus three for hitting someone in the crowd. I'm starting negative three? Plus you get points for hitting people.
Oh, sweet. You're good.
You also just cheat. There's no rules against cheating.
Well, I think all of the rules are against cheating. And golf is like the one sport.
You're really not supposed to cheat. I think every single rule actually is against cheating.
Right, because it takes away guys like me who shot a 72 at Shinnecock.

By the way, people don't talk about that enough.

Thank you.

Thank you.

People don't talk about that enough.

Yeah, it was a hell of a day.

I was feeling it.

I was feeling it.

Which one of you guys could play the other guy's sport better?

He could play football better.

Did you play basketball growing up?

A little bit.

Yeah, that means no?

Through high school. Okay.
Yeah. So obviously you can dunk easily.
Blake can't. Not like him.
Not like him. Well, I'm a rim grazer is what they say.
A little finger tip. I can do a two-hand every once in a while.
Have you guys heard about Hank is trying to dunk? I have. How's that going? Summer's gotten away from me a little bit.

You want to talk about Mike?

Do we have another Mike?

What do you think is holding your back?

Come over here.

I think maybe genetics.

Yeah, I was going to say DNA mostly probably.

Are you doing those like – do you remember those old basketball shoes?

Yeah.

Circle ones at the bottom.

I say genetics.

Age.

Yeah.

Booze.

Yeah.

Okay.

Summer.

Summer.

Summer.

I have until December.

I'm just going to lock in in September.

A few more.

September is actually the best month to lock in.

We're like here.

We just got to get to like here.

So you're a grazer.

Oh, okay.

I can touch the rim.

I can almost grab it.

Well, can you palm the ball? Yeah. No, wait.
This is not dunking. If you're not palming the ball, you got to get palm the ball.
You got to get here. So you're a grazer.
Oh, okay. I can touch the rim.
I can almost grab it. Well, can you palm the ball? Yeah, no, wait.
This is not dunking. If you're not palming the ball, you gotta get here.
You know. Womp City.
Womp City. Oh, yeah.
Oh, oh. Yeah, my bad, dude.
There's a few dunks of his on the top 48 that technically he never touched the rim. That's true.
Thanks, man. I think it was against the Sixers.
They don't always have to touch the rim. Do you remember that against the Sixers? It was like two plays in a row where Chris Paul just threw it up to you.
The back-to-back windmills. Back-to-back windmills.
That must have felt sick. You probably felt like, God.
Yeah, it was fun. Just floating.
Honestly, it feels pretty cool. Yeah.
It feels pretty cool. It's got to be awesome.
Can't do it anymore, though. More of a ground walker now.

Just kind of keep it on the ground.

Blake, I saw you were signing autographs,

and you signed every single autograph except one.

Yeah.

Did you miss that one intentionally?

Wait, did I actually?

Yeah.

Oh, no.

But he showed up a little bit late,

and it was the only reason I noticed it was the only one that was a Piston jersey.

No.

I swear to God. I signed four Pistons cards.
No, it was a picture of you in a Piston jersey. He came in at the end.
Oh, yeah, because he has the blue marker. I don't sign with the blue marker.
You don't sign with the blue marker. You didn't see him, but I just saw it, and I was like, that's funny if he was just not going to sign Piston jerseys.
No, I signed another Piston jersey. Yeah, you did sign everything..
Hank just thought of another reason why he can't dunk. No, I was in bed watching videos last night, and I came across your return to against the Clippers as the Pistons.
Oh, yeah. What a game.
Oh, thanks, man. Yeah.
Thanks, Hank. Good job.
Thanks, Hank. Good job, Hank.
Thanks. Inspirational stuff.
Good job, Clipper for life. We're going to get back to Blake and Josh in a second.

Oh, we do have big Josh Allen news breaking today. Oh, yeah.
The other Josh Allen changed his name. Yeah, I saw that.
So he's no longer Josh Allen. He's Joshua? He's Joshua Hines Allen.
Whoa. So you made another man.

There was another one? It's kind of an alpha move on your back.

Yeah, on the Jaguars.

You beat him out.

Yeah.

You don't watch any football.

By the way, by the way, congrats, man.

You literally made a guy change his name.

You're so good you made a guy change his name.

Yeah.

He knows some guys get to a new team, and they want the jersey,

so they pay the money for the jersey.

He was trying to pay me for my name, but I just wouldn't take it. Yeah take it.
That was their first. Blake, you made Brooks change his name.
That's true. Who was it last year's Blake of the Year? Bortles.
It's coming up next week too. No, Brooks is number one.
I think we're going to do a phone call again and Brooks has the British Open. He just gets screwed every year.
That might good then because if we depending on what time of day that might be in the afternoon yeah maybe off the course just let him down softly or do you like just drop the no he's getting he actually is getting like each year you can see the progression of it eating away at him he's like i'm i have what does it take to be a blake um it's just really just the vibes like just like i feel like i would answered that. Oh, okay.
Yeah, that's true. You go, Blake.
It feels like the guy named Blake. What does it take to be a Blake? That's a great question.
I think just the vibes. So what does it take to be a Blake? That's a great answer.
What does it take to be a Blake? I just said it. Oh, I mean, you got to do a lot of good work in the community you have to make somebody change their name by the way you're on track and then I don't know man third I guess from our perspective it's being insanely good at something professional sport but still being a still being a regular guy.
Like Blake and Brooks and Blake Bortles all reached the top of their profession and they were just the same guy. Just a couple of regulars.
Yeah. So it's pretty cool.
It's a compliment to be a Blake. Yeah.
Yeah. There have been people that are asking me if my dog is going to be in Blake of the year.
I'm formally announcing my dog, Blake, will not be in Blake of the Year this year. I think he's eligible for a comeback Blake of the Year.
Yeah, he might be. He had double elbow surgery.
But I think you've got to earn that. You've got to earn that.
I'm not laughing at that. No, I mean, it's funny to say when a dog has double elbow surgery.
I love dogs. I love dogs.
I love dogs. He's good.
He's good. That's the hardest I've ever seen you laugh.

We were hanging in that Sarah McLaughlin commercial came on.

He just died laughing.

He loved dogs.

Turn this shit up real quick.

If there's one thing I know.

It's my favorite comedy.

Yeah.

How many dogs do you have?

Is there a favorite dog on three?

One, two, three.

Dober.

Yep.

Oh, okay.

That's fair.

That felt like a pity.

Dober.

Yeah.

I don't know. I just felt like that's what you're going with Do you have any dogs? Josh? It's hard to tell who he's looking at Josh, I'm talking to Josh Do you have any dogs? I do not, not right now Oh, so you don't really love dogs Blake, do you have any dogs? Yeah, I a cream golden retriever.
Oh, you really love dogs. What's his name? Her name.
That's insane, man. Oh, no.
That's insane. Golden retriever, golden retrievers are guys.
Talk about bad work in the community. She, her name.
Golden retrievers are guys. Honey.
Honey. Okay.
She's a beautiful dog. What's her name? Honey.
Honey. Beautiful dog.
Okay. Are you going to get a dog, Josh? You're just planning on it? Planning on it.
Okay. Are you going to adopt or are you going to shop? Getting grilled.
Adopt. Adopt.
Adopt. Definitely.
Adopt. Don't shop.
The thing about when you adopt a dog is their elbows are great. They're fantastic elbows.
Yeah. Yeah.
Probably. Some of the best elbows out there.
Were they the same legs? The same front leg and back leg? Were they staggered? Both his front. So in the back, they got knees.
And in the front, they got elbows. Really? Yeah, so he had double Tommy John.
So he's going to come back throwing harder than ever. Smart.
Yeah. Super athletic.
Walking around. Yeah, no, he's a beast.
What do you guys say to... Oftentimes, we get some criticism on this podcast that we glaze you guys a little too much.
Oh, wow. What do we say to that?

It's kind of bullshit because we love you guys, but the haters are always like, oh, you're going to glaze your boys.

You're just going to say they're awesome.

I'll tell you what.

I'm a sucker for a glazed donut.

Yeah.

Yeah, by the way, glazed donuts, that's pretty much it, right?

Yeah, that's it.

That encompasses the whole glaze category.

We need something to come back at them, though. No, we don't.
That's a good one. Why can't you boost your boys up, though? Nuh-uh.
Why can't you boost your boys up? Yeah. It's crazy.
You know what? Next time that happens, I'll tweet something. All right.
Maybe. Yeah, back us up.
The glazing accusations went at an all-time high last year. Yeah, they're crazy.
All-time high. Yeah.
And I feel like it's backwards when you talk about glazing, because, you know, glazing, you can understand what that means. No.
But when you're glazing somebody. Yeah, explain it to us.
Ejaculating. Oh.
Oh. I didn't know that's what it was.
On a donut? Yeah, they're saying we're coming. I didn't know that.
But in reality, it would make more sense if we were the ones getting glazed. Oh, yeah.
If all we're doing is talking good about you guys. Put on some nice, like, librarian glasses.
Yeah. Then we're getting glazed by you guys.
getting glazed by you guys. So actually, they've got it wrong.
Now they seem like the dumb ones. They seem great.
Reverse glazers. All right, I'll ask an easier question.
Josh, you very much want to win a Super Bowl with the Bills, bring the Bills a Super Bowl would be incredible.

Have you thought – this is a new move.

Have you thought about retiring and then the Bills will win a Super Bowl?

Because that's kind of a thing that's going around.

If you retire, the team you were last on wins.

Sometimes you've got to make a sacrifice.

You're going to answer it.

If that's what it took, I would do it.

Oh, wow.

That's huge for the Bills.

If I could – can I say it?

Yeah, guarantee it.

Because that's what Blake did.

He guaranteed it. Yeah.
Yeah, I would do it. I did that.
He's like, I'm going to do this. I love how you said we're going to ease your question.
You just shit on me. That's an old trick of the trade.
I sacrificed myself to the pit last year. Do you respect the pit? I love the pit.
Yes, feed the pit. So what's going on with the pit? Can you give a background story to the uninitiated? So the pit was the hole that our new stadium is being built on.
Oh, yeah, I see that. And people were trying to get some sneak peeks, and every game day someone got a little too intoxicated, fell into the pit.
This is Buffalo. We started going on a win streak when the first person that fell in the pit.
So every game, someone miraculously fell into the pit.

This offseason, I went down to the pit and sacrificed myself.

You know what?

That's, by the way, worked for the community.

Yes, that's the community.

Yes.

I think you actually mean that, though, when you say that if it was guaranteed,

you would retire.

Yeah, I would.

To bring the bill to the Super Bowl.

Yeah.

I feel like I would have a part, whether I played or not. Right.
You'd be in the – Blake feels the bill to Super Bowl. Yeah.
I feel like I would have a part. Yeah, you'd go to.
Whether I played or not.

Right.

You'd be in the.

Blake feels the same way.

Yeah.

They were like, no, come back.

And I was like, no, guys.

I want you guys to win.

It's hard to see on breath.

Dude, Blake, please.

Did you think that it was a little bit of stolen valor that Hank celebrated like he had won the championship on Joe McSwain?

No, that's just Boston, man.

You grew up in Boston.

Not that I grew up there. You diehard Boston fan after being there for a year.
I know they take their sports seriously. That's where there's some of the, but they're probably the best fans in basketball.
Wow. That's a slap in the Clippers fans face.
I mean, they're the most loyal. Yeah, that's true.
They've been through some dark times. Yeah, that's true.
Definitely the most loyal, but Boston fans, man, can't say enough about them. So, no, I don't think it was stolen valor.
Hank, got your back, dude. Yeah.
He did look awesome out there. I disagree.
Yeah, what? I don't agree. You think it was stolen valor? Hank Josh glazed you.
Go off, Josh. He's glazing.
Yeah. He's part of the Missoula family.
He's getting reverse glazed. That was laid on a little thick by Hank.
Yeah. Yeah.
What do you think about the fact that Hank went to try to take a picture with Kristaps Porzingis and it was actually Sam Hauser? Joey Hauser. Sam Hauser's brother.
Yeah. I mean, honestly, it's better than one of the other guys on the team.
If you could confuse two other guys, I don't know.

Let's say, no.

I'm actually, it's fine.

But they do look alike.

You thought you were taking a picture with Sam and you took one with Joey.

No, he thought he was taking a picture with Kristaps

and he went up to Joey.

That's tough.

I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shout out Joey Hauser.

Great to him.

And Sam.

It's a good point by Blake, though.

If you went up to, like, Jalen and you're like, Jason, let me get a picture with you. That would be bad.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's why I brought it up. That would have been real bad.
Great synopsis. Yeah.
Awesome. Way to come to that conclusion.
Josh, last time we had Blake on, we played a really fun game where we found out that he played with, what was it, Six Williams? Yeah, a lot of Williams. Williams.
So I did a little research. What is the last name you think you've played with the most in the NFL? This is our favorite game.
Blake loves it. He actually asked me to do this again.
This is great. What do you think? It's a pretty common last name.
Brown? No. Johnson.
Johnson. Can you name all the Johnsons? Oh, shit.
Johnson. Johnson.
How many Johnsons have you played with? Good question. Who are you looking at? Both of you can answer.
I have the amount of Johnsons you played with. How many is it? It is six Johnsons.
Me? Can you name them? Blake, you played with five Johnsons. Five Johnsons plus one is just six.
Can you name all your Johnsons? I got one for sure. Ty Johnson.
Okay. That translates to cock ring.
It's a setup. Leaving off a teammate.
I know. I'm going to do it.
Yeah. But, you know, there's a 53-man roster.
It's just hard. Sometimes defenders.
Kevin. Daryl.
Yep, Daryl Johnson. Jaquan.
Jaquan Johnson. And Duke Johnson.
What about you, Blake? Can you name yours? Tyler Johnson, Joe Johnson. That technically counts if they're on, like, training camp roster, right? No.
Nope. You actually are 0 for 2.
I played with Tyler Johnson. I think maybe you have 6.
It's training camp. I'm going to give you bonus points.
James, Bryce, Elise. I can't just don't let knew that.
Wesley and Stanley. I was going to get there.
How many Johnsons have you guys played with? One. One.
Yeah, this one. Name them.
Name them. Little cat.
They weren't very good. You also played with four Williams.
Blake has played with six. Darryl Williams.
Yep. Is there any jealousy on that? Yep.
Dorian Williams. Yep.
There's actually a repeat first name from Johnson and Williams. It's a basketball.
Yep. Williams.
Yep. This is the best podcasting we do.
Do you know if he's offense or defense? I don't. How many is he at? Three? He's at three? And there's four? Yeah.
There's one more. One more.
You got this, dude. Come on.
Come on, A. Antonio Williams.
Yes. Got it.
All right. And that wraps up our segment, Fun with Last Names.
Yeah. That was good, right? Was that fun? It was great.
Thanks. Really cool.
Yeah. Really cool.
We've played with a lot of Johnsons. Yeah, we sure have.
That's why we come on this podcast, man. Josh, you've got a dirty mind.
Last year, some would say that you cursed the Buffalo Bills when you deez-nutsed us. See, that's what I – I was very hesitant on the Johnson question because of the reason.

Yeah.

Did you see him get us last year?

I did see it.

I saw it.

Room 40.

Yeah, it was juvenile.

Kind of took off.

Yeah, they made a room in wing nuts called Room 40.

You were talking about some wing place, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It was good times.

Good times.

Good times.

Yep. That's honestly it.
That's it. Is it weird that you are an SEC school now? It is.

That's what they say. Nice.

Yeah. Come on, dude.
Montana State. There you go.
There you go. Come on, man.
There you go. They don't know how far we go back.
Go Grizz. It gets you into football, Blake.
I do like football. Sorry I didn't know.

Still got it. Two-time Blake of the year? Yes.
Potentially? Three. He's three times.
He's going for four next week. Gotcha.
Yes. That's a big time.
We'll have a new contest Josh Allen of the year. You're the only one in the NFL.
That's true. You better fucking win.
Technically, yeah. Yeah.
Can Josh Allen win the big one? We'll find out. Boy, Joshua wishes he kept his name the same, doesn't he? All right.
I got a couple last questions. Let's do the Roback question.
Roback.com, promo code TAKE. 20% off your first purchase.
Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com, promo code TAKE.
I'll tell you what. Big Cat shorts roback.com promo code take i'll tell you what big cat has been getting off he's been getting so good at this fucking ad i thought he was like reading it somewhere that's the last the last nine people we've had on this podcast have stopped yeah they're just like what was that like they just watched jimmy page play stairway to heaven yeah i just memorized two sentences did you do it backwards fuck no i don't't even know where to start.
It starts with take because it's promo code take. No, but if like actually say the words backwards.
Yeah. No, not the words backwards.
Do it in reverse order. Take code promo.
Shorts, joggers, hoodies, Q-zips, polos? Not even closing. Fuck.

All right, real bad question.

That's how dialed in.

20% off first purchase.

Q-Zips, sweatshirts.

How long are you guys off the tee?

How long?

Oh, oh.

I mean, if it goes straight, I could hit it 300.

Nice.

Josh?

Doesn't go straight often. If it goes straight, I could probably hit like 300.
Maybe a little further? Yeah. Yeah, Josh.
I was hoping you went 301. 301.
Yes. They got a long drive hole out here that they're tracking.
Everybody, you win something if you get the longest drive. They said Travis Kelsey last year hit it 360 yards.
Holy shit. Off the tee.
Oh yeah. Elevation.
And he can hit it far. And he's strong.
He's so strong. He is strong.
He is so strong. He's a strong boy.
Strong boy. I don't want to sound disrespectful, but Blake, I feel like you should be able to hit the ball further than 300 yards.
I mean, yeah. Listen, I'm going to try my hardest, but who knows? Have a little faith in yourself bleak are you gonna work for jj reddick in the lakers yeah i actually do it can i make an announcement yeah uh happy for jj oh okay had you not said that publicly yet i don't think so okay all right that's good to some people and i said it to him yeah it is crazy that he's the coach of the Lakers Yeah, it's pretty awesome He's as equipped to do that as anyone So yeah, I'm excited for him But no, I'm not getting into coaching I am also happy for J.J.
That's two big announcements Wait, what? You're not? You don't like J.J. Redick? Max doesn't like J.J.
Redick Max, do you have a question for the guys you said you did okay no philly based questions yeah go ahead oh wow he's got he said you both play different sports that really confused this whole conversation is i think max i could just can i just throw one out do you enjoy playing in philly because that That question stinks. Okay.
You didn't have one, so that stinks worse.

Use this question until you think... Can I just throw one out? Sure.
Do you enjoy playing in Philly? Because that question stinks. Okay.

You didn't have one, so that stinks worse.

Here's his question to tell you that your question stunk.

I don't have a question.

I think his question is actually, you guys play two different sports.

Oh, yeah.

What's that like?

What sports do you play?

Do you guys like sports even though you play different ones?

How does it work?

You guys play two different sports. Oh, Blake, I did have a question for you, though, because Joe Mazzullo said that he would send you a ring.
He actually did say that. Did he? Yeah.
Is this mid-season? No, this is I think after they won, right? Yeah. That's interesting.
I greatly appreciate that sentiment, but I'm truly so happy for those guys, and, you know, they deserved it. And, again, I did my part, but I don't want the ring.
You know what I mean? Yes. Was I a huge part of the team? Yes.
Could they have done it with me? No. So, you know, I think that equals no ring.
Yeah, maybe a tribute video. That'd be nice.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Hey, wait. Have you watched the Clippers show? I did not watch it, no.
That's got to be weird, having a show that someone, an actor's playing in life. Everybody asks me if I can watch it.
What I want to say is, like, I lived it, but that sounds weird. No, that's cool to say.
I think it's true. Yeah, yeah.
Show? No, I didn't watch it. I lived it.
There's a show about... It does sound kind of badass when you say it that way.
Thanks, man. There's a show about Donald Sterling.
What's Showtime? Clipped. FX.
FX. Clipped.
Yeah, so there's a guy playing Blake Griffin. Dude, that's sick.
Does he look like you? Once you see the guy, you're going to be like, no, that's not sick. I'm going to pull it up right now.
You didn't work with this actor to show him how to be more Blake? I didn't. I think he sent in probably a submission tape and they were like, he just dyes hair, right? Can he at least shoot? I haven't watched it.
Oh yeah, you haven't watched it. I've just seen a bunch of pictures.
I'm not watching it because you're not watching it. I stand in solidarity.

Solidarity.

We're not going to watch it.

We're just not going to do it.

Smart.

Is this real?

Is this a real picture right here?

Is that supposed to be Chris Paul and Blake Griffin?

Yeah.

I would have expected these guys would have met with you so that they could be like,

hey, which fire alarm did you pull when the Rockets were trying to fight you?

Oh, yeah. I pulled all of them yeah get all the police oh all right well we love both of you guys sorry for glazing so much but that's why i like to be sincere for a second the best part about this podcast is like becoming real friends with some of the guys we had on both of you are definitely in that category so uh we want josh to keep winning football games you want blake to keep not getting bored uh forget about me do not forget about blake griffin actually it'd be nice okay here's an idea that popped my head when they do the my my cause my cleats maybe it's just blake griffin on your cleats did he die i just felt like people should uh think about him more don't forget about him you gotta do that some sick like sick art yeah him dunking and just like just throw out some stats upwards of 450 million Americans forget about Blake every year the best I'm walking out gotta get him that would be great for the community that would be great for the community great for my community thanks in advance well thank you boys good luck this week everyone watch Root for Blake and Josh.
Is there a show, Blake and Josh? Blake and Josh. I could change one.
Well, no. No, you can't.
We're a week away, dude. We're a week away from Blake of the Year.
It knocks me down in my brain. And also, yeah.
I'm going to ask it. And then I change it back before the next one.
But also, being a Blake is about it's in here. Yeah, that's right.

That's right.

It's in here.

We could do a podcast, though.

We're going to rival you guys.

Do Blake and Josh.

Nothing would make me happier.

Bring it on. We are a coaching tree.

Yeah.

We'd just be like, see what we did?

I mean, JJ, look at our coaching tree.

One of them is a coach of the Lakers.

Yeah.

He has shown us that, if anything, we should be coaching the NBA as podcasters. Yeah.
I mean, he went from a podcast to coaching the NBA. Oh, we got it.
Yeah. No, no, Josh didn't.
Josh is a football guy. We play different sports, so it's impossible to talk to.
All right, serious quick. Which one of your balls is better, football or basketball? Oh, good question.
What ball is better? Which ball? I think football is obviously better. I think for basketball, football is probably also better.
But if you had to take one ball for the rest of your life. Imagine dunking with a football.
Yeah. Right back in the face.
You're on a desert island. Here's the thing about it.
Basketball is like, you know, you can dribble it, but like if you don't have a hoop, then at least you can play catch with a football. So you're saying football.
Imagine throwing some lobs full court with the football. Oh, yeah.
You can't dribble a football, though. You can.
You can dribble. Yeah, you can.
Not like. Put the right angle on.
Yeah, you do that. You do the little quarterback spin.
You think it looks cool. Yeah.
Dribbling. Then you spin it in your hand.
Yeah. So cool So cool.
These guys are cool. How cool does it feel to just go like this on your shoulder pads, Josh? It's very relaxing.
Yeah. That's my favorite.
I'd sometimes do that just in polo shirts, just standing around like this. That is nice.
We had life vests on yesterday, and we were just going like this. It felt like a backup quarterback.
We were wakeboarding. Sick.
No big deal. We know how to wakeboard now.
Nice. Yeah.
All right. Thank you, boys.
Thank you, guys. Crush it this week.
Blake and Josh. Just win it.
Blake and Josh. What if you guys – 2024.
If you guys go one, two – I don't know if you win anything. They do a lot for charity.
I think they do. I think there's cash.
Yeah. If you go one, two – They do like a two-main competition we can get in.
Mike and Andy won last year, too.. Oh, what is that? Oh, like just during the tournament? Two guys can – oh, wow.
Didn't know that. All right, maybe teamed up.
I don't know much about this tournament. Yeah, you'll learn.
You know Mike and Andy, right? No, I'm not falling for this. He's trying to get us.
Wait, wait, Josh. No, no.
Josh, Josh, Josh.

That was on the info sheet.

Who's Mike and Andy?

We don't need to get into it.

Don't patronize me.

That was a good trial.

I feel like there is a Mike and Andy.

Yeah, Mike and Andy. We don't know who they are.

Who's Mike and Andy? Mike and Andy who?

Mike and Andy.

And cut. Okay, all alright.
See you guys. That interview was brought to you by Chevy.
As everyone knows, this is a Chevy truck podcast. The greatest trucks ever built and our good friends at Chevrolet have been a big part of my take story.
From the Silverado helping us dig the biggest hole ever dug in Ohio during Grit Week, to Silverado partnering with us to give college fullbacks all the rightful recognition that they deserve with the Lomann Award, to our non-stop cross-country trip to the Super Bowl in LA, it was behind the wheel of a Chevy Silverado. Silverado has been a part of it all.
Chevy Silverado, longtime awesome partner of the show, a truck with commanding, unstoppable grit, legendary capability, and dependability too. So find out for yourself like so many other AWLs.
Head to Chevy.com to check out all the Chevy truck grit. Build your own Silverado for do-it-yourself projects, road trips, off-road adventures, tailgates, whatever your thing is, it all starts with a Chevy truck.
Okay, boys, let's wrap up chill week. It's been an awesome, awesome week with fire fest f-i-r-e of the week because we're going to be in the chill mindset first before we do that hank how do you think about rushmore went i thought it didn't go as bad as you guys are making me think like it did i think we'll let the poll uh decide for itself true um but i I feel okay.
Yeah? Yeah.

I thought it was very funny.

It was funny.

We didn't really have a lot of prep time.

We only had a couple hours.

That's true. Also, I think my prep time was two minutes in my head.

It's sandwiches.

You eat them.

Yeah, you guys are eaters.

I'm not.

Hank also came up with the idea.

Oh, yeah.

You're the one who came up with it.

Oh, shit.

Hank also eats his sandwiches sideways, like a harmonica.

I thought it went great.

Yeah, I think so, too.

It's been fun hanging out this weekend.

I personally have had fun.

I've had a great time.

I know you guys think I'm bad vibes.

No, I don't think you're bad vibes.

I think you have things that make the vibes turn bad sometimes.

Your face.

Your facial expressions. When you do your facial expressions they could can sometimes turn bad um all right fire fest of the week hank yeah i mean mine's kind of just like a fire fest of the month i kind of you know i've been doing a lot of of of reflecting and just real like i realized that the brady day was june 12th it's basically july 12th the last month has been one of the craziest of my life and just seeing all the AWLs out at all these events whether it was Brady night the Celtics parade all week here it just is very surreal and I know we kind of get used to it because it just happens all the time but it's like sometimes when I'm in my hotel or just sitting you know at my house I'm just like this I I'm like theBron.
I can't believe this is my life. Big time.
So my Fyre Fest is just the AWLs and the community that this podcast has brought. And it's just, it's insane.
Yeah, think about how far you've come. And just like the last year and a half, two years, everywhere you go, people just yell random numbers at you for the lottery ball machine.
And now they're just Team Hank. Yeah, it's great.
People are supportive of the haircut. AWLs are the best.
That's my fire. We really got to get people yelling random numbers at Max.
Yeah. Well, Max gets the two sodas, which we've seen a few times.
That's true. That makes me laugh pretty hard.
Every time. Yeah, it makes me laugh every time.
Max, where are the two sodas? Where was that? Was that here? Yeah. What? The guy brought two sodas in from Max today.
Yeah. Okay, yeah.
It's been a long week. Every time I go to a bar, I get to.
And they think it's like the most unique, funny thing ever. It is.
It does make everyone around me laugh. Yeah, it makes me laugh every time.
Memes, are you getting recognized now? Come on. Memes said no.
Memes doesn't go out, though, either. Yeah.
No, I'm saying out here. No one said, hey, memes.
I wonder if Pug. Memes, we have been around with celebrities.
Because even when we're walking around with Kyle Juszczyk, he's a 49er. We're in the Bay Area.
Everyone's yelling at him. But there's also a ton of people yelling at Bay Area.
Let him cook. Bay Area adjacent.
That's closer than Hank usually gets with his geography references. There's a lot of 49er fans here.
Yes, that's fair. We're on the West Coast.
He has a ton of fans here. Yeah.
But there's also a ton of people yelling at PFT and myself, and that's always in those moments when we're with actual celebrities and actual athletes where I'm just like, I can't believe. Same thing as the parade when it's like I'm on the boat with, you know, the head coach of the Celtics and I have people yelling at me like that.

Bro thinks he's on the team.

That's the type of stuff that just, you know, blows my mind still to this day.

We were talking about it at dinner last night.

Like we have to compartmentalize it because we have to do our job and have fun and bust balls.

But, like, the growth of this show, we go out to the driving range

and, like, a bunch of these guys who, like, we've been looking up to for all this time, come up to us or like they know who we are it's like spencer clock coletti yeah steven coletti who's listening right now sorry steven star steven jesus christ dude miles teller and i talked about the sphere for like 20 minutes on wednesday it was like it was just the most casual conversation you You are close to the sphere. Can you, can you feel it?

I really want to go right now.

Yeah.

The sphere is in the Bay area.

I really want to go right now.

There is a Bay over there.

That's not a Bay.

It's a lake.

It's a lake.

All right.

I was trying to call it Lake Tahoe.

It's a hidden gem.

One of the hidden gems.

Lake of the year.

We got to get miles teller back on the show though.

That guy rocks.

Absolutely rocks.

It's also very funny watching all these super famous athletes movie stars comedians golf is like the ultimate equalizer that uh the most confident people in the world you go up to them in the driving range you're like how you doing they're like i fucking suck i've asked i only think you're gonna make a run they all just go no yeah right right so it's like you see the weakness of like the golf brings everyone to their knees i think the one guy that that actually might have a chance that we got to meet is uh derrick carr yeah derrick carr might have a chance this weekend i was walking around the driving range and i i wasn't up close enough to see who everyone was yet and i saw something happen i was like oh my god that guy almost got killed by that other guy it was about a half inch away from a devastating head injury that would have just like probably killed the guy then i get closer and i'm like oh my god that guy that almost got killed that's john elway john elway almost died on this driving range then i get a little bit closer i'm like holy shit that was derrick car almost killed almost killed derrick car came about half an inch away from killing john el today, which would have been the craziest sports story ever. That would have been nuts.
Also given Derek Carr like a little bit of bad boy street cred. Yeah.
And the Raiders are probably welcoming back. Yeah.
We also saw that one golf cart crash that rocked. Yeah, that was fun.
Yeah. Old guys crashing golf carts is very fun.
And it was an old guy on the back of a golf cart getting rear-ended by another golf cart it was just cool to watch it was like I know that it everyone was okay it was cool to watch yeah yeah all right PFT my fire fest FIRE e fast of the week I mean I echo everything that Hank said it's been very cool out here but I would say my baby's coming home my baby's coming home when i get back wow what yeah the el camino oh yeah nice it's it should be fixed fully fixed we had we had a slight hiccup last week so f-i-r-e yeah no it's it's the hiccup is over i think we're post hiccup when i was i dropped it off before vacation. And the guy was like, I'm going to give you a call back tomorrow.
I'll give you the full quote. Everything that needs to happen to it.
I didn't hear from him for a long time. And I was coming back from vacation.
I still hadn't heard from this guy. And I called, left a message.
No return call. Called again, left a message.
No return call. I thought there was an outside chance that this guy just straight up stole my El Camino.
And I would never hear from him again. In which case, tip of the cap to that guy.
Yeah. Runs a pretty good racket.
Yeah. But then he called me back a couple days ago, gave me the breakdown of everything.
I think we're back in business. I think starting next week, I think it's going to be an awesome August.
I'm going to be cruising that bad boy everywhere. Speakers working great on it.
Tested those out. I just can't wait.
I did get a seatbelt installed, which might be a beta move on my part. I just don't want to die if I get into an accident.
No, I think that's probably also like if you ever get pulled over, you probably want a seatbelt. Yeah, it's legally mandated in the state of Illinois.
But I'm very much looking forward to pulling up to a lot of places that are too classy for an El Camino in an El Camino. Hell yes.
I just want to get kicked out of somewhere pulling up, just revving that engine. Oh, it's sweet.
That rocks. And nothing bad's ever going to happen to it.
That rocks. Ever again.
Okay, my fire fest, I just have had a great time hanging with the boys we just had like playing frisbee golf was awesome we got to do that more uh dinners we did a team dinner in our uh suite on tuesday night grilled and chilled grilled and chilled we went out to dinner at like maybe the best vibes ever bar that had live music that was just as chill as possible just hanging with Hank PFT and I spent some time in the hot tub last night we almost got in the hot tub where the jets weren't working and we then realized it would just be the three of us sitting in a bathtub together also chill other one also chill yeah but it was I don't know it's just fun being on the road with the boys yeah it is and we fired greg berhalter and we fired greg berhalter and hank has not had bad vibes except for that one time there have been fewer bad vibes than usual yeah he's been very good vibes he today hank was like i don't know what what got into him today maybe he got a lot of sleep but he was like intern hank he was grabbing waters. What do you need? What do you do? He's trying to be an asset.
Yeah, it was incredible. I think it's just being on a golf course.
Yeah. It brings the best out of him.
That was one funny story was. This is a misconception.
You don't even know what the story is yet. I do.
What do you think the story is? Blake Griffin. Do you want to tell it? Yeah, so Blake Griffin, me and PFT, the plan was we shot PFT was with Juszczyk shooting a video.
I was shooting the video too. I also got to run it back on the camera.
Yeah, you said that after. You're like, I still got it.
Back on the sticks. Memes said opposite.
Oh, no. Still don't got it? I did hear that Hank had to ask memes all the time, like, how do I turn this on? Oh, no, no, no, no.
It took me a minute to get used to that. It was a learning experience.
Oh, he had to relearn? So not like riding a bike. Well, no, they just have a different way that they shoot golf videos, and I was just, it took me a hole.
It took me one hole to figure it out. Okay.
But I figured it out. It was good to be on the sticks.
And then PFT, I mean, Big Cat and Blake were also going to do the same thing, and it's going to be one video. Blake was showing up late.
We didn't know if we were going to be able to get out there, and I said maybe once the afternoon round ends, they'll let us all go out and play. And we can go.
I meant you guys. Yeah, you said we.
I said we. Yeah, we're a collective.
It's us. This brand, this podcast.
We is us. Hank's also been talking because we're going to do this every year now.
And, again, thank you to American Century Championship. They've been incredible hosts, and Edgewood especially.
They've just been awesome. But Hank's already planned out how many times he's going to play this course.
He's like, we're going to play it Monday. We're going to play it Tuesday.
Yeah, he did try to sneak in a tee time yesterday. You did? No.
Well, no, he implied. Oh, yeah, that was, yeah.
We're going to play this course next year. It's sick.
I mean, yeah, I like to play golf. When you're walking around a golf course you can't help but think like what if i was playing yeah also uh the the tournament's gonna be on nbc and peacock all weekend so watch it because it's i'm gonna watch it it's like all these guys are competing they're all the most competitive guys in the world and the setting is insane the vibe of the 17th hole is all time it's on the water there's people that are on boats screaming throwing footballs at people it's par three yeah the hole is bay area it's right on the bay yeah it is it's literally bay area all right good week boys let's kick it back to ourselves we got a lottery ball okay let's wrap up the week numbers 8 6 20 19
