Speaker 1 On today's part in my take,

Speaker 1 we have a twofer for the people. John Rahm and Tyrell Hatton from the PGA.
We were out there today watching the guys get ready for the next round of the FedEx playoffs

Speaker 1 at Olympia Fields. We had a great time talking to both of them.
We also are going to talk Hard Knocks, Hard Knocks episode 2.

Speaker 1 We finally got to watch Memes' famous Jets game against the Panthers preseason week one.

Speaker 1 We are going to do Mount Rush more of ways to waste money.

Speaker 1 We have a long discussion, a nice discussion with our friend Max about James Harden and what's going on in Philadelphia. And a bonus, Jake Marsh enters a Twitter space that will shock you.

Speaker 1 So, So a great show for everyone out there.

Speaker 3 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 4 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 let's go.

Speaker 1 Boy!

Speaker 1 Now in the street, there is is violence.

Speaker 1 And I not like the sound of work will be done.

Speaker 1 No place to hang out or washing.

Speaker 1 And then I can't blame all on the sun.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, we're gonna rock it down to Electric Avenue.

Speaker 1 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Electric Avenue.

Speaker 4 It's part of my take.

Speaker 1 There's another part of sports.

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take. Today is Wednesday, August 16th,

Speaker 1 and I have a very important question after watching Hard Knocks episode two.

Speaker 4 Hit me.

Speaker 1 I

Speaker 1 am a diehard Aaron Rodgers fan this year.

Speaker 1 I think he looks great. He's gotten hotter as he's aged.
But my question is, and this is no disrespect to Aaron Rodgers because, again, I am a diehard Aaron Rodgers fan this year.

Speaker 1 I walked away from this hard knocks episode two asking myself a simple question. Who's the coach of the Jets?

Speaker 4 That's a very good question.

Speaker 1 Is it Robert Salat?

Speaker 1 Or is it Aaron Rodgers?

Speaker 4 Aaron Rodgers coach in waiting. Or Nathaniel Hackett.
Or Nathaniel Hackett. I have a question about Aaron Rodgers.
Okay. Is he an all-time like top-five hugger? Yeah.

Speaker 4 He's just, he's hugging everybody. He's going in for the hug, two hands.
He gives you the squeeze on the back of your spine like he's giving the Heimlich from reverse. He loves.

Speaker 1 He loves. He loves.
He loves to. He's a lover.

Speaker 4 He loves to love and he loves grass, yeah, and he loves grass.

Speaker 1 And he also, that was a very funny moment when he went up to his talk about the field, yeah, yeah, okay, both, but yeah, when he went up to his uh former coach, it was like, you're fat as shit.

Speaker 1 I was like, yeah, he is fat as shit.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that seemed, that seemed like he was busting his balls, but also it's tough to say that to a guy that is fat. Yeah, he's very fat.
He's like, hey, you fat fuck.

Speaker 1 And then everyone's like, yeah, he's been eating Pop-Tarts. Yeah.
It's like, alarm. But I, I really am wondering, and I want to hear from memes because he is our Jets fan.

Speaker 1 But what struck me was the moment during practice when the offensive line wasn't playing up to snuff for the Jets, and Robert Salah turned to Aaron Rodgers and he said, we got to get them right for you, buddy.

Speaker 1 And I said, huh, that's weird.

Speaker 4 Tail wagging the dog.

Speaker 1 That feels like Aaron Rodgers is coaching this team, not Robert Salah. Yeah,

Speaker 4 there's definitely the sense that Aaron Rodgers runs the offense. And then he takes a lot of pride.
Zach Wilson gets on the field, and it's like Aaron is coaching the offense at that point.

Speaker 4 What he says goes, there's some issues with pass protection. I have actually

Speaker 4 maybe a smart football take on my part. Everyone's talking about Brees Hall, Dalvin Cook joining the Jets, right? They're dealing with offensive line issues, pass protection issues.

Speaker 4 They're two great players that are joining at running back right now. They don't have a lot of time to work on pass protection in the preseason at all.
Maybe that might be their biggest issue.

Speaker 4 Also, I think the fact that their defensive line is so good that they get their ass kicked every offensive line gets their ass kicked every day by a really good defensive line.

Speaker 4 That's a little bit emasculating. It is.
You lose your confidence.

Speaker 1 It also.

Speaker 4 So the Jets should make their defensive line worse, is what I'm saying, so that their offensive line can get better.

Speaker 1 Speaking of emasculating, Robert Salah saying to the team, we were a 7-10 team last year with an awesome defense and a shit offense with Zach Wilson sitting in the room. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's just got to keep eating shit.

Speaker 4 So he said that halfway through the film, but at the start of the meeting, he goes, we still have like the stink of a bad offensive team on us from last year. Like not pulling any punches.

Speaker 1 Well, Zach Wilson's still playing quarterback in the preseason.

Speaker 4 Zach Wilson looking great with a big arm sleeve, the do-rag still.

Speaker 4 You should be limited to the amount of swag that you can wear as a backup quarterback.

Speaker 1 Agreed.

Speaker 4 I guess he was starting in that game technically, but it's the preseason. You should have to earn the arm sleeve on the non-throwing game.

Speaker 1 Agreed. The other big story from this hard knocks is Quinn Williams being awesome.

Speaker 4 Shout out Optimus Prime.

Speaker 1 Shout out Optimus Prime. Shout out his dad.
Shout out to his agent for getting him paid. We need to get Quinn Williams on this show.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he seems awesome.

Speaker 1 He seems like a part of my take guest. He seems like an awesome dude, and his teeth look great.
Remember, he got drafted with braces. Yep.
Always tough, but he is completely glowed up.

Speaker 1 And he also is incredible at his position and really fun to watch.

Speaker 4 Had 12 sacks in a joint practice. That's a record.
Yep. In our record book.
Update the log.

Speaker 1 It's great. You could just, you just titty bump some guy and just be like, sad.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 You get you get like two steps, two steps of penetration. You're like, that's a sack.
Sack.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 1 I want to pull up. Yeah, it's like playing

Speaker 1 two-hand touch as a kid. Yeah, I got him.
I got him. I got him.
I swear I got him. You were in a lot of blitz.

Speaker 4 The Hard Docks effect is in full swing on me for Will McDonald. Oh.
Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 The whole team.

Speaker 1 They might be my mystery team. I do have a mystery future team.
They could eventually be my mystery future team.

Speaker 4 They're a very good defense for sure. I could have done without the Will McDonald 10-minute long piercing celebration where they just had him

Speaker 4 getting getting just different pieces of metal stabbed through various orifices on his face. Yeah, some people are into like the pimple popper thing.

Speaker 4 I can't watch any of that. So I can't watch that.
No, that stuff.

Speaker 1 I love bad injuries. I love puke videos, but piercing's not for me.
No, no.

Speaker 4 A guy on HBO Sports getting just metal rammed into his face. Was I watching OJ Made in America?

Speaker 1 Memes, what are your thoughts on this? Because you made us watch the preseason game that you asked everyone about.

Speaker 1 You also had a moment where we were kind of busting your balls and you just like very matter of factly, like a little kid getting teased, you're like, you guys can't ruin this for me.

Speaker 4 You see that dime from Zach Wilson?

Speaker 1 You guys can't ruin this for me. No, I've been reading a lot of old Jets rosters from the past couple years, and it's just been very bad.

Speaker 1 Two years ago, it was Rashad Perriman, Denzel Mims, and Jeff Smith as the receivers, and then they didn't even list tight ends. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 So I'm just excited about this year.

Speaker 4 I mean, they do, they're loaded at the skill positions. If you looked at the wide receivers,

Speaker 1 Mikhail Harbin, yeah.

Speaker 4 Miko Harbin, yeah, who had a great look during the rookie show. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 The rookie show was also very funny because it was like all the African-American rookies that went out and they did a step team celebration.

Speaker 4 And then the white guys go out there and they're like, look at this app. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Everyone downloads this app. Yeah, they tried to play something they saw a Twitch streamer play.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it was pretty bad. But yeah, memes.
I think you should be excited, but the offensive line.

Speaker 1 We will ruin your fun.

Speaker 4 Offensive line looks like it's an issue.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and we will ruin your fun just so you're clear. That's what this show does.
Anyone who has any fun gets it ruined. Like, you guys are going to ruin my fun with Justin Fields.
I know that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's a fact. Right.
So

Speaker 1 you're going to post so many slanderous memes about Justin Fields. I can, in turn, ruin your fun about the Jets.
No, I'm pretty Justin Fields positive online. Okay.

Speaker 1 We'll have to look through that.

Speaker 1 After you went through Darren Revelle's tweets.

Speaker 4 Memes, I also have a question for you about Aaron Rodgers in the grass situation where he just rubs grass on his hands all the time, throws it up in the air, gets a sense for the wind, feels like he's one with the earth when he does it.

Speaker 4 What playing surface do they have at MetLife?

Speaker 1 That'd be turf. That's turf.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 They got new turf, though, this year. Oh, I did see that.

Speaker 4 They got rid of the injury turf. I read that.
They got new turf. It's like double layered field turf yeah

Speaker 1 it was uh kyle shanahan complained about everybody tearing their acl on it and they finally switched it out last season well in between um

Speaker 1 aaron rodgers does get has gotten significantly better looking that one that one video of him grabbing the turf when he was a clean shaven like you know year five

Speaker 4 ugly dude he had a fatter face back now he looks good yeah yeah i don't understand how these guys get skinnier he probably had some serious acid flashbacks during the Oz the Mentalist thing at the start.

Speaker 4 Yeah. That guy is a witch.
Oz, he came into our studio. We did a PM TV with him last year.

Speaker 4 That guy is actually.

Speaker 1 Fuck me up.

Speaker 4 He has to be a witch. There's no other explanation for it.
He's just like telling people to think of a number and then he just writes down the number they're thinking of. What the fuck is going on?

Speaker 4 He should actually be a football coach.

Speaker 1 It was a great moment, though, when the guy was like, what if you had guessed giraffe after Oz the Mentalist made a goldfish appear in Aaron Rodgers?

Speaker 4 Yeah, what if it was Giraffe? I could actually see Jim Merce hiring Oz as like a defensive consultant to quality control.

Speaker 4 To just tell his coaches, like, hey, here's what the other team's going to run. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The only other note I had from this is, I,

Speaker 1 so I'm starting to have the hard knocks effects with the Jets. I'm starting to buy in even more.
I do think Aaron Rodgers is going to have a great year. There's something about, and maybe this is

Speaker 1 the, what's the guy in Dallas? Dan,

Speaker 1 what's the guy's name? Defensive coordinator. Dan Quinn.
Dan Quinn. Maybe it's the Dan Quinn effect, but I love, love, love a defensive coordinator with a backwards hat.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that guy's.

Speaker 1 There's something, it does it for me.

Speaker 4 That guy rocks. He just gets so excited about the defensive line.

Speaker 1 You want a great beard, too?

Speaker 1 Yeah, you want a defensive coordinator to have a little shit to him, little grit to him, little, you know, like I could kick your ass, you know, outside of Denny's right now.

Speaker 1 And he had that with the backwards hat.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I am gradually getting more sold on the Jets just through watching this documentary that's produced basically hand in hand with the New York Jets. Correct.

Speaker 4 So they might not be showing us everything, but what we've seen, it's like, okay, the defense is going to be a problem.

Speaker 1 I do like that in every hard knocks episode, they're like, well, in unbiased journalism, let's show you two minutes where the practice is not going well.

Speaker 1 And the coach is like, we're not ready to play football yet, boys. We got to clean this up.
And then go back to like every player being the best player in the world.

Speaker 4 I love how Robert Salah watches the silent film.

Speaker 4 I don't know what the difference is between watching the silent film and then watching the film with the audio on it, but he says like, you know, I love to watch the silent film.

Speaker 4 He likes to like just feel the energy instead of hear it. He seems like a guy that would be a lot of fun to play for.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 We didn't get to see Dalvin Cook, newest New York jet, was

Speaker 1 news, what, two days ago?

Speaker 4 It feels like he's been a jet for the last three weeks. I know.

Speaker 1 I know. They were dancing around it.
This is a direct result of Aaron Rodgers being a selfless teammate.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's got more money. Yeah, more money to hand around.
He's got more money to hand around, yeah.

Speaker 1 And then we also had Ezekiel Elliott go to the Patriots. So congrats to Hank, who doesn't have to change his Ezekiel Elliott Cowboys jersey.
He can just maybe slap a logo on top of it.

Speaker 1 But yeah, huge win for Hank.

Speaker 4 What was his contract? It feels like if you're an old running back or an older running back, you can still get by and won two-year deals.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I guess playoff Lenny's still out there.

Speaker 4 Kareem Hunt's still out there. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wait, Kareem Hunt's still out there?

Speaker 4 He's still out there. He went to, I think he went to the Saints, and then the Colts said, no, you got to come visit us.

Speaker 1 Who's the other running back in Cleveland now?

Speaker 4 The

Speaker 4 Chubb, and I don't know. They got to have a two.

Speaker 1 It's not Chunt.

Speaker 4 No. They don't have the Chunt combo.

Speaker 1 Browns running backs. Jake, reminder alert.

Speaker 1 Jerome Ford. Okay.

Speaker 1 That.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that sucks.

Speaker 1 We wanted it. Jerome Ford.

Speaker 1 Jake, October or no, how many days in September? 30? September 30th. Reminder, bet Ezekiel Elliott.

Speaker 1 I know. Okay.
Bet Ezekiel Elliott

Speaker 1 two touchdowns on that Sunday's game.

Speaker 4 Why is that?

Speaker 1 It's the Patriots versus Cowboys. You know, Bill Balichek will do that for him.
Yeah, he'll definitely do it. He absolutely will try to stick it to him.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Fun fact, do you know what Kareem Hunt's middle name is?

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 4 His middle name is AJ. Oh, I've never heard of somebody having two initials as their middle name.
That kind of rocks. Kareem A.J.
Hunt.

Speaker 1 That's like Homer Simpson, Homer J. Simpson.

Speaker 4 Homer J is just J.

Speaker 1 Yeah. J-A-Y.

Speaker 1 Okay. Anything else before we have a nice discussion with Max about Philadelphia sports?

Speaker 4 I think that's it.

Speaker 1 We have a packed show coming here, so we're going to kick it back to ourselves.

Speaker 1 But we have Terrell Hatton, John Rahm, Max having a meltdown, Jake going into a weird Twitter space, Mount Rushmore, Ways to Waste Money, and Guys on Chicks. Oh boy, let's do it.

Speaker 4 Shout out Optimus Prime. Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 4 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 4 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 4 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Okay, before we get to Hot Seat Cool Throne, we have to have a discussion. If you remember, on Sunday night, we brought up, PFT and I brought up the fact that James Harden, hmm, something feels off.

Speaker 1 Max said, well, there's no better alternative, and did his Max thing where he like basically pouted

Speaker 1 and stomped around and said, no, I'm not mad. I'm not triggered.
James Harden is fine. He's fine.
This is not how that went. Then we woke up Monday morning and James Harden said this.

Speaker 1 Daryl Maury is a liar and I will never be part of an organization that he's a part of. Let me repeat that.

Speaker 1 Daryl Maury is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he's a part of to a bunch of Chinese kids at his basketball camp who are like, what?

Speaker 1 Why are we listening about Daryl Morris?

Speaker 4 Quick question, Big Cat. He said that he'll never be a part of an organization that Daryl Maury is a part of, right?

Speaker 1 Wait, hold on, hold on. I will never be a part of an organization.
Because he's a liar. He's never a part of.
Yes, that's a bad thing. Okay, so quick follow-up.

Speaker 4 What professional basketball organization is Daryl Maury a part of?

Speaker 1 All right, let me Google that. Because I forget.

Speaker 4 It's football season. I'm not up to speed on my basketball.

Speaker 1 Daryl Maury is an American,

Speaker 1 right? Is an American basketball executive who is president of basketball operations, the Philadelphia 76ers.

Speaker 4 Oh, the Fluffy 76ers.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Philadelphia 76ers.

Speaker 4 So that's Max's favorite team.

Speaker 1 That is also James Harden's current employer.

Speaker 4 Current team. Okay, so it sounds like he's saying that he'll never be a part of the Philadelphia 76ers as long as Daryl Murray stays.

Speaker 1 Hold on, Max, hold on. Also, a quick follow-up to that.

Speaker 1 Don't bang on this. Yes, this Daryl Murray guy.

Speaker 4 Has he ever said anything about the business relationship between the NBA and China? Anything like that? China? I think he did. I think he did do that a few years ago.

Speaker 4 And that's exactly where James Harden is while he's making this statement about him being a liar. Interesting.
It sounds to me like

Speaker 4 odds of James Harden returning to the 76s might be lower than we thought on Sunday.

Speaker 1 Okay, but PFT. Now, this is bad.
This is admittedly very bad. James Harden just opted into a new contract or his last year of the contract, what, like two months ago?

Speaker 1 You know, they were going to give it a chance. They basically almost beat the Celtics.
This was a championship team ready to take the next step to ultra championship.

Speaker 1 That's what we call the Easter Conference Finals.

Speaker 1 So everything, James Harden doing this is bad, but at least, at least, Joel Embiid is not also upset and deleted stuff from his Instagram and Twitter saying that he no longer lives in Philadelphia.

Speaker 4 Joel Embiid is the glue that holds this together. So

Speaker 4 you can lose James Harden. Listen, James Harden's traveled around like a leaf through the wind.

Speaker 4 Joel Embiid is a guy that you need to have there. And as long as they have Joel Embiid, MVP, right?

Speaker 1 So Joel Embiid has not, he, let me just, hold on.

Speaker 4 Look up his Twitter account. Because I remember he used to say on his bio that he was processing.
Processing. Because he loved the processing.

Speaker 1 And he said Philadelphia processing. Okay.
I'm looking up Joel Ellen Biad.

Speaker 1 His Twitter account. Oh.

Speaker 4 Wait, what? Are you sure you got the right one?

Speaker 1 Yeah, 2.1 million followers.

Speaker 4 And it's no longer saying processing.

Speaker 1 No, it says

Speaker 1 Yoande. I think that might be where he's from.

Speaker 1 So, yes, that is. That is from Cameroon.

Speaker 1 I mean, if this is true, and the Sixers moved.

Speaker 1 He moved from Philadelphia. He doesn't live there anymore.

Speaker 4 If they lose both Embiid and Harden in the same offseason, that's bad. That's about as down as you can get as a franchise.

Speaker 1 Breaking Moose. I know that we're doing this to Max right now, but I just, because I went on Twitter,

Speaker 1 Breaking Moose.

Speaker 1 Can someone give me a.

Speaker 1 I have to break this news. I went on Twitter and it says, you know, on the right tab, listen live in spaces.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Jason Whitlock is hosting a space that says, Does it matter if Obama is gay? Okay, so let's discuss.

Speaker 4 I saw that earlier.

Speaker 1 You're going to have to wait, Max. You're going to have to wait.

Speaker 4 And we were about to start the show, and I considered putting a pause on the start of the show just so I could get involved in this Twitter space. Does it matter if Obama is gay?

Speaker 4 Yes, I think it does matter.

Speaker 4 I think this throws the whole Obama gay situation into

Speaker 4 chaos.

Speaker 1 Does it matter if he's gay? I don't care.

Speaker 1 I don't think I care.

Speaker 1 I care. No, I do not care.
I care. I care.

Speaker 1 Why do you care?

Speaker 4 Because that would, I mean, that means that we had a combo president.

Speaker 1 That's true, the first ever combo president. Yeah.
Well, no, Kennedy was Catholic and his brains blew out.

Speaker 4 Yeah, the first headless Catholic.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so, okay, back to John.
Actually, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
I'm talking about sports. Back to Joe Mbi.

Speaker 4 What if he was gay with Trump? That would be funny.

Speaker 1 Does it?

Speaker 4 They should lock both of them up in the same cell for forever, and then they just have no choice but to start fucking.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is only 700 people in this space is shocking. Does it matter if Obama is gay? What a question.
That's a thought starter, what we call a thought starter. Okay, but

Speaker 1 Embiid. Embiid.
Wait, what if Michelle Obama's a man? Does that count as

Speaker 4 interesting?

Speaker 4 This is above my pay grade.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 This is weird. Because then he wouldn't have cheated, although maybe he was beforehand.

Speaker 4 In the words of Silvio Berlusconi, everybody is a little bit gay. You know what? It just so happens that my gay part is a lesbian.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, you know what?

Speaker 1 Let's solve this once and for all. Let's just listen to a random two seconds of this.
Okay?

Speaker 1 max you join max you join jake you join jake you join

Speaker 1 jake you join jake you know what leave the room for a second while we deal with max no no no max jake can you leave the room and listen while you're out and then come back and tell us what was said just like 10 seconds yeah yeah no no no listen until we're done with max or you can just text and then get come back with the cliff notes you could probably just also text billy and see because he's probably already written a report about it.

Speaker 1 He's moderating. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Yeah, Jake, take good notes.
Okay, so wait. Just a recap.

Speaker 4 Okay, so James Harden went to China, said, I hate that.

Speaker 1 We don't have to do the whole lesson. We don't have to do the whole thing.
All right, Max. Hello, Max.

Speaker 5 I didn't know you were here. Into a segment that's ever been had ever on this show.

Speaker 1 You're not going to get mad, though. You're not going to get mad.
I'm not mad. I'm not sure what I'm just saying.
What's happening?

Speaker 1 What's happening right now?

Speaker 5 The Sixers are in shambles. I don't care about James Harden in the slightest.

Speaker 1 Wait, you just said that you wanted him, him and there's no better alternative. There's no better options.
He's better than Norman Powell.

Speaker 1 Well, I don't know if that's true anymore. He doesn't want to play.

Speaker 5 It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 I think James Harden's better at basketball than any other option that's out there right now, but he's not a better player to have on your team than correct.

Speaker 1 He's the worst player to have on your team.

Speaker 5 He's literally breaking up the team one by one because.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, this championship roster. He's very good at it.

Speaker 5 I mean, the MVP, he's breaking up the MVP.

Speaker 1 He's breaking up the MVP. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He's forced.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I never played basketball.

Speaker 4 This is like the last dance, except it's a team that never won anything.

Speaker 1 Never even got to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Speaker 5 I get it. But now it is just forcing.

Speaker 5 How hard is it to get a player like Joel Embiid on your team?

Speaker 1 Very hard.

Speaker 1 You know what it's like? Hey, wait. A guy who's never gone to the Eastern Conference Finals? Pretty easy.
Pretty easy, actually.

Speaker 1 There's actually, I would say 90% of, no, maybe 80% of NBA players players have never been to the Eastern Conference final.

Speaker 5 Any team

Speaker 5 entire league would die to have Joelle.

Speaker 1 I don't know if

Speaker 5 you're such a

Speaker 1 guy.

Speaker 1 The guy is switching his Twitter.

Speaker 1 He's being a fucking

Speaker 1 teenager. He's being a teenage girl.

Speaker 5 This is what every single NBA player does.

Speaker 1 You have two of them on your team.

Speaker 4 I think that it's a high possibility that Joellen Bi knows who Max is and did this just to fuck

Speaker 4 it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I would want Joellen beat on my team. Fair.

Speaker 1 What's your what? So?

Speaker 5 That's all I'm saying is that James Harden is breaking him up.

Speaker 1 Yes. Which

Speaker 1 you're

Speaker 1 that is a bad thing.

Speaker 5 Like that is not a good thing.

Speaker 1 Is James Harden Thanos?

Speaker 5 James, James, he might be.

Speaker 1 He's the Thanos of bad.

Speaker 5 All he does is just go and just spread bad vibes to every single person he's at. And I don't know whether I want to blame Daryl Morray or James Harden because I'm going to blame James Harden for this.

Speaker 1 I'm going to blame both. I think they're both doing exactly what they do.
Daryl Murray

Speaker 1 is a very good executive who always gets... I mean, you saw it with the James Harden deal initially, the Ben Simmons trade.
He always waits to get the most value for these guys.

Speaker 1 So he's doing what Daryl Murray does. And then James Harden is being a petulant bitch, what he does.
So they're both being themselves.

Speaker 4 What's James Harden's move here? Because he really, he reinvented the wheel. He broke.
brand new ground in the NBA where he decided that he was going to get traded by getting too fat. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Because guys, if you sign a contract, you don't have that much leverage. I mean, in the NBA, you have more, but you still sign a contract.
They don't have to trade you.

Speaker 4 They could just kind of ignore your trade request.

Speaker 4 If you get super fat and then break up a team from the inside out, that's really the only leverage you have. And James Harden is very good at that.
I don't know if he's going to get fat again.

Speaker 4 It sounds like what his strategy is, is like, let's go to China and really fuck with Daryl Maury's brain and then hope that he gets so mad at me that he can't stand the idea idea of writing a check to me anymore.

Speaker 1 Well, it's the craziest. James Harden has put himself in the funniest predicament ever because he wants a long-term deal, but he has to probably play to get that.

Speaker 4 So

Speaker 1 how does he stay fat? Maybe he gets fat and is good at basketball.

Speaker 4 That'd be very funny. But what team in their right mind would want James Harden on them? Like, think about it.

Speaker 1 What competitive team is. He's been saying bowls, and I hate him for it.
He's like, oh, just to Mar DeRose and for James Harden, fuck off.

Speaker 1 No, I'll take

Speaker 1 Christopher Max Delente, fuck off.

Speaker 1 No, that would be a good thing. You'll take Zach Levine.

Speaker 1 That would be like a three T.

Speaker 5 Well,

Speaker 5 now that's out the window because there's just zero leverage. I mean, James Harden is a snake.

Speaker 5 The reason that he won't get a long-term deal is because you're just seeing everything he does.

Speaker 5 Why would you want a guy who will commit to you for like a third of the time that he's said to be there and then just go and ruin the team from the inside out?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but what about game one of the season? Game one rock.

Speaker 5 Like, that was sick. Yeah.
Game one was sick. But he also signed the deal.
He chose. He did not need to sign that deal.

Speaker 5 He chose to take that, and then he's just upset that Daryl Maury just didn't give him away for nothing.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's kind of a funny move on James Harden's part to sign a deal.

Speaker 1 Well, he probably didn't have a better deal out there because the other problem is James Harden has basically negotiated himself into a corner where he, the reason why he signed that deal was if he went and signed a new

Speaker 1 deal with someone else, like the Clippers can't sign him for what he is getting paid. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 The Clippers, if he didn't opt in, the Clippers couldn't give him a four-year, $150 million deal. They don't have the space.
So he had to opt in and then hope that he would get traded.

Speaker 1 And now that he hasn't been traded, he has to opt out while hoping someone else opts in.

Speaker 4 And

Speaker 4 nobody's opting in on James Hardy there.

Speaker 4 I mean, you have to take your hat off to James Harder and respect him for being the best to ever do it at what he does. Yes.
Like, just he doesn't burn bridges.

Speaker 4 He goes like Philadelphia overpass 76ers on bridges.

Speaker 4 Like, that's what James Harden is so good at just destroying front offices and destroying the entire culture of a basketball team and then moving on. Probably the greatest player.

Speaker 4 It's like him and Kyrie have been pretty good at it.

Speaker 1 Now, how much has this bummed you out?

Speaker 1 I didn't care at all.

Speaker 5 Like, I saw the Hardin video and I was like, all right, here we go again. He's going to play this whole song and dance.
He's going to do whatever.

Speaker 5 And then we're just going to do the same thing as Maury is just going to keep him and he's going to sit on the bench and not play and not do anything.

Speaker 4 It would be very, I hope he gets it.

Speaker 5 But then he got the other players on the team.

Speaker 1 Who else?

Speaker 1 P.J. Tucker.
Oh, no. I didn't know that.
He broke P.J. Tucker as well.
But

Speaker 5 PJ Tucker is whatever. I don't give a fuck about PJ Tucker.

Speaker 1 Dog. He's a dog.

Speaker 1 You need dogs.

Speaker 1 He's a dog.

Speaker 5 He is getting his guys around him to go against Daryl Maury. So now it's either now you have to choose sides.

Speaker 1 Now you have to choose. So which side are you choosing?

Speaker 1 I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 5 All I know is that the only person I care about right now is Tyrese Maxie, and he has not gone up

Speaker 5 in support of James Hardy.

Speaker 4 What about the MVP?

Speaker 5 I care about him, too.

Speaker 1 No, you said broken up.

Speaker 4 Yeah, the only player you care about is Tyrese Maxie.

Speaker 1 Is it as broken up like you can get an arm of him, a leg of him?

Speaker 4 Like you're picking up the pieces of him i would love if joe l and b did not do that if he i yeah because he's also so calculated with everything that he does on social media yeah that you can't just look at and be like oh this means nothing although he did i would say something about the union and he was like go philly go union so he still likes a soccer team no but it yeah but it's a philly union yeah he still likes your soccer team is what i'm saying but i i kind of so he he's very active on social media i wouldn't say he's like super calculated i I think sometimes no he is sometimes he like just trolls first and then he's like oh shit like I was just joking around in this case it's it feels it feels real it feels too real Max did you hear about one of the one of the small things that led to the breakup

Speaker 4 between Maury and Harden no oh yeah read this article oh no it was pizza something yeah the little the little stuff matters when running a team oh no the seeds of mistrust between harden and mori had been planted with the smallest forgotten promises according to harden Quote from Hardin.

Speaker 4 Every Friday, that was going to be Pizza Day. We had Pizza Friday for the first month this season, but then that was it.
It was supposed to be every week, all year long.

Speaker 4 Is this a butt crack? You come in on a Friday, you get a slice. Not some Fridays, every Friday.
Consistency builds championships. That was the deal we had, but that was a lie.

Speaker 4 It's frustrating because I'm locked in thinking about one thing and one thing only, winning basketball games, Hardin told the assembled class of 14-year-olds in attendance for the launch of Hardin's Chinese wine company.

Speaker 4 But it would also be nice to be treated like a human.

Speaker 1 Wait, so you, whatever.

Speaker 1 Where was this article written?

Speaker 4 That was the Athletic Premium Plus as posted on my Twitter account. Wow.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 Oh, fuck.

Speaker 5 Oh, this was you thing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I saw this. How did you not think that?

Speaker 5 I saw this from somebody else.

Speaker 1 How did you think that was real? Yeah. Wait, I saw some real.
I said the first second when he said it like that.

Speaker 4 You got to subscribe to the Athletic Premium Plus. I get all the articles.
You don't get get it.

Speaker 5 I saw somebody else's.

Speaker 1 Your credit's not good enough.

Speaker 4 Your credit's not good enough.

Speaker 5 In Sixers Twitter, like actually tweet that as a real thing.

Speaker 4 It's a real thing.

Speaker 4 You didn't pass the background check to get admitted to that.

Speaker 1 You're stupid, you dude? I don't know.

Speaker 1 Also, I just, if that were real, I would sign with James Hart. Yeah.
If you're Pizza Front, if you have to do Pizza Front, we were promised Bagel Mondays. I believe in everybody.

Speaker 1 You did Bagel Mondays.

Speaker 1 Every Monday? I think it was. Oh.
Yeah. It's just people ate it.
Fuck, I'm such a fucking idiot. I thought I

Speaker 4 legitimately read that and and been like, Max, you're in shambles right now. All right, Max, you know what?

Speaker 1 Let's pick up your spirits. Let's leave Jake out there for another minute.

Speaker 1 I can't wait to hear his money. I cannot wait for this.

Speaker 4 I keep going back and forth on if it matters or not.

Speaker 9 The Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.

Speaker 1 Let's bring Jake back in. Jake is back.
Jake has listened to the Jason Whitlock hosted space. Does it matter if Obama is gay for the last 10 minutes? Please let us know.

Speaker 1 What should we think about?

Speaker 10 So there were about five or six speakers

Speaker 10 during the span that I was outside.

Speaker 1 I did not. Okay.

Speaker 10 And five out of the six of them said, it does matter. Oh, here's some of the quotes I have written down.

Speaker 1 Okay, all right, nice. Look at you, Jake.

Speaker 1 Actually,

Speaker 1 I would like you to make sure that you're in every Jason Whitlock space. Put on notifications.

Speaker 1 I want

Speaker 1 each. I just want it to be a list of things.

Speaker 10 Well, I can listen retroactively. Yeah, you can.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
Which I will do about this tonight.

Speaker 10 Go ahead. One speaker, the first one, just said, it absolutely matters that he's gay.

Speaker 1 Oh, so that's not even a...

Speaker 1 They're just saying he's gay.

Speaker 10 Yeah, each speaker first, before they say anything else, they answer the question.

Speaker 1 Oh. And then they give their talk.
I like that. That's a well-run space.
So it's like, hi, my name is. Yeah.
And I'm here for this reason.

Speaker 10 So you get their opinion off the bat.

Speaker 1 Hi, my name is Dan, and it doesn't matter that he's gay.

Speaker 6 Got it.

Speaker 10 She said, I don't really understand the context. She said, quote, my sex life is wild, and I don't care what you do in yours.

Speaker 4 Okay. Wait, but she's saying it doesn't matter then.

Speaker 10 But she said it did.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, Obama.

Speaker 4 Actually,

Speaker 4 if you're a Middle Eastern terrorist, if you're like in ISIS and Obama drone-striked you, it's probably worse that you got drone-striked by a gay guy. That's true.

Speaker 4 It's like when they dip the bullets in pig blood.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Taram.

Speaker 10 I don't know if I got this word for word, but what I wrote down was having Obama come out as gay is de-escalating to the black male role model figure.

Speaker 4 Okay. No comment.
Yeah, that one's...

Speaker 1 That one's deeper. Okay, that's, yeah.

Speaker 10 Yeah. And then another person said it would potentially be an abomination to to God.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. Okay, we're going with that.
Yeah,

Speaker 4 so it just matters if anybody's gay.

Speaker 1 I think the PM is not an Obama thing.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I respect that.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I think the AWL and this was just crossover was very small, except some people got notifications that I was in this and took screenshots.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 4 I think that last speaker was Chris Broussard. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes. He's like, hey, I don't even know how I got in here.
I don't even know who Obama is.

Speaker 1 I don't like getting it.

Speaker 4 I just don't, yeah, I disapprove of his game.

Speaker 10 And they talked about like Jews and anti-Semitism.

Speaker 1 Oh. I don't see it.
So it was a crossover. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't think it went well, probably. No, probably not.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. So.
All right, well, let's start with your hot seat cool throne, Jake. So many people are talking about hot screen.

Speaker 1 I'm going to have to retweet some of these. What's going on?

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 10 And then they're going to listen tomorrow and they're going to be like, they're going to find out.

Speaker 10 Am I starting us off?

Speaker 1 Yep. Okay.

Speaker 4 Big cat, should Jake start us off? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Hank's not here? Yeah.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 4 Hank's on vacation again?

Speaker 1 The same one. Okay, he is.
Continue it.

Speaker 10 My hot seat is Madden. Okay.
The new Madden is out, and people are not happy. The glitches are very evident, it seems.
I don't know if you guys have seen some of these clips.

Speaker 1 By the way,

Speaker 1 good reminder that Hank is on vacation. Hank actually,

Speaker 1 I gave him all my Madden coats.

Speaker 1 He said he was gonna give them out this week on vacation so tweet Hank on vacation and ask for the Madden coats that's smart yeah remember when I internally we went outside MSG yeah and we got people find us yeah at hen underscores ease yeah

Speaker 1 please make sure and here's the best part we're playing a little game with Hank he has under strict orders to say that he doesn't have madden coats it's an NDA he does he does so keep pressing him get from him you have to I think tweet at him three times.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 And then he gets released.

Speaker 1 He's like red rum in the mirror. Okay.

Speaker 1 Madden always has this, though, when it comes to.

Speaker 10 Yeah, but the celebrations, Jalen Waddle's waddle is not a waddle.

Speaker 4 Well, then I'm out. I'm out on the game if it's not a respectable waddle.

Speaker 4 Listen, Madden is in a tough position because they've had to invent a different football game, what, like 30 times? There's not a whole lot more that you can do with it.

Speaker 1 It's also just a perfect example of life with the internet where Madden releases.

Speaker 8 People are going to hate on it no matter what.

Speaker 1 Madden release used to be a celebration day. You stick around long enough and it just becomes a complaining day.

Speaker 4 I'll bet the hit stick would have gotten roasted on Twitter if Twitter was around back in 2008. Oh, yeah.
People would have hated it. Now,

Speaker 4 I haven't played Madden in years and have no plans to pick it back up again. But I think that it's mostly like, okay, it's a race to find what we can complain about in the new Madden.
Yes, yeah.

Speaker 1 And it's people playing deep into Madden to find it. I feel like if you just play it regularly, you don't see it.
All right, next.

Speaker 10 My cool throne is myself, the plug god. We have a few things on top this week.

Speaker 10 First, the barstool store, 20% off sale. This is a big one.

Speaker 1 This is a big one. We're independent again.

Speaker 10 Yep, 20% off sale.

Speaker 10 You're listening today, Wednesday. Yep.
It's today.

Speaker 10 Most of the site, there's a few exclusions, but 20% off.

Speaker 1 Awesome. Unreal.
Good deals. Great deals.

Speaker 4 Good merch. Great merch.

Speaker 1 I don't like how you looked at me there, Jake.

Speaker 5 What do you mean?

Speaker 1 You did like a.

Speaker 1 I was fucking with my hands on it. Yeah, I know, but you were like almost like a...
a, I don't know what that was. Okay, keep going.
Okay, we'll review the tape.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 10 And then the second.

Speaker 1 It's kind of a little bit patronizing.

Speaker 4 Did you feel that PFT?

Speaker 1 He was like, and 20% off, you little kiddies, go store.barswaldsports.com while you look me in the eye. I'll do it to him, too.
Okay, all right. And you'll feel the same way.

Speaker 1 I don't want you to be able to. Rough and round, you know?

Speaker 4 BuyRNR.com.

Speaker 1 See? That's it.

Speaker 10 And for the first time ever, streaming live on YouTube. Yes, huge.
Jekyll will be there Friday night. Yes.
So, yeah, tune in.

Speaker 1 Awesome. Plug God out.
Plug God out.

Speaker 1 We need to get you a necklace, a plug necklace.

Speaker 4 Would it matter if Jake was gay?

Speaker 1 I don't know. Let's fire up a space.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Doesn't matter if Jake Marshall is gay. It's such a funny space.

Speaker 1 Okay, hot seat, cool drill, PFT.

Speaker 4 My hot seat is what could have beens, what might have beens.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 4 Because Kyle Shanahan last week, I believe it was last Friday, Friday, let us in on a little nugget about what the 49ers were planning to do if they had won that game against the Eagles and made the Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 So the game, we all remember it. It sucked.
Brock Purdy got hurt. Josh Johnson got concussed immediately.
They didn't have a quarterback.

Speaker 4 They had had discussions about what they were going to do if Brock Purdy got injured because they were obviously without Jimmy G, they were without Trey Lance.

Speaker 4 Kyle Shanahan's plan that he had in place, if the 49ers had made the Super Bowl and Brock Purdy was injured,

Speaker 4 Phillip Rivers was going to start the Super Bowl

Speaker 4 on two weeks' notice. Yes.
Having played zero games with the 49ers, having practiced with them zero times before that, he would have been the starting quarterback

Speaker 4 in a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 He probably would have won.

Speaker 4 He would have won. And I'm so fucking mad at Kyle Shanahan for saying this because I feel like I have retroactive blue balls.

Speaker 1 Do you know why he would have won? Phillip Rivers doesn't move fast enough to have the graspy slippery be a problem. That's very true.
He would have won. That's very, very true.

Speaker 1 It would not have been an an issue. He's so slow, it would not have been an issue.

Speaker 4 It would have been the very best thing to ever happen to the NFL.

Speaker 10 Can you imagine? That would have been one of the all-time sports stories.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 Like, I'd say the sports story of a lifetime. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We would have had to go to the Super Bowl and root for the Niners and wear Phillip Rivers Niners jerseys. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Imagine how many babies he would have had after that.

Speaker 4 So many. So many.

Speaker 1 He still is. Yeah, he has.
He's having many babies. I think he literally just announced his wife's training.

Speaker 4 I think so. I think they're going for 11.
Is this 11?

Speaker 1 They've got a full football team now.

Speaker 1 I think they've got the whole squad.

Speaker 4 Shout out Philip Rivers. Yeah.

Speaker 10 All-time stick man. And July is expecting his 10th.

Speaker 1 Wow. So

Speaker 1 that was a month away.

Speaker 4 Red so bad on Phillip Rivers' week one touchdown. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yep. Got it.

Speaker 4 Cool Throne is getting disowned by your own children. Ooh.

Speaker 4 So if you've been paying attention to the news for the last couple days, there's been a rift in the storybook relationship between Michael Orr and the Touhey family. No.

Speaker 4 Family that, quote unquote, adopted him. You see it in the Blindside.

Speaker 4 Apparently, there was no adoption paperwork ever filed. It was a conservatorship.

Speaker 4 And so that meant that they were making business decisions for Michael Orr. They didn't have any legal obligation to him as parent-guardian situation, but they're making business decisions.

Speaker 4 And one of those business decisions, allegedly, was that they controlled most of the money and the back-end revenue from the success of the Blindside movie once it came out.

Speaker 4 And Michael Orr allegedly did not get paid off off from that, as opposed to the members of the Tue family that did get paid out from it.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 4 I think we have to just wait for all the facts to come out. I feel like this is one of the stories where we'll just wait for the next five years for all the facts to come out.

Speaker 4 But it sounds like to anybody with a working brain who watched the movie The Blindside,

Speaker 4 they probably wouldn't have brought Michael Orr into their family if he was a five-foot-five kid that was good at chess. Right.

Speaker 4 It probably had a little bit to do with the fact that he was one of the best football players in the country at the time and already highly recruited.

Speaker 1 He picked his own school, right?

Speaker 4 No, that's interesting because the Touhey family is like the biggest boosters of old myths. So it's just a coincidence, though.
He could have gone wherever he wanted.

Speaker 1 The story seems really bad.

Speaker 1 Michael Orr, like,

Speaker 1 if it went down the way that he alleges, it's very bad. It's pretty much the shittiest people in the world.

Speaker 1 But yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 I think it's going to go back and forth.

Speaker 1 The Touhey family has alleged that it's a shakedown, which I guess that's kind of what you do in these situations. You'd be like, no, shakedown.

Speaker 1 I just know that Michael Orr didn't like the movie and the way he was portrayed in the movie, which should have been the first red flag to be like, hey, something's amiss.

Speaker 1 Oh, maybe the movie should have been about

Speaker 1 the family that saved him, but about the kid who pulled himself out of poverty and made it to the NFL and won a Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 Yeah, how about the kid? Well, if you watch the movie, Michael Orr didn't know how to play football until he got onto a practice field one year in high school, and Sandra Bullock had to walk out and

Speaker 4 grab him by the face mask and teach him how to block. No, he was already a great football player and a great athlete, and he accomplished a lot on his own, which they didn't really.

Speaker 4 They also made him seem like dumb as a rock. They made him seem like an idiot in the movie.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's the part he was very upset about, which I would be upset too if I were him.

Speaker 4 And if you watch The Blind Side, now I would actually like to re-watch it because it's very, I'm sure it's unintentionally hilarious right now.

Speaker 4 Like going back and making Tim McGraw and Sandra Bullock like the heroes of this story. Right.

Speaker 4 When it's a kid that worked his way out of having no home and an absentee mother to like ended up becoming a great, one of the best football players in the world. That's a pretty good story.

Speaker 1 So wait, you're saying Michael Lewis got this wrong?

Speaker 4 I'm saying Michael Lewis may have embellished some of the facts or woven it into a better story that it or a story that he thought was more marketable than the real story.

Speaker 1 Next thing you're going to do is tell me that Billy Bean never won a World Series.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to say that Billy Bean never won a World Series and that he had players like Miguel Tejada and Tim Hudson.

Speaker 1 I actually like Michael Ross as a storyteller. I've read all his books.
No big deal. I did read The Blindside, except the COVID one.
That one was weird. He went weird.
But Liars Poker is a great book.

Speaker 1 Blindside.

Speaker 1 Moneyball. Oh, he did Moneyball? Big Short.
Okay. Yeah.
Read them all.

Speaker 4 Bang. There was...

Speaker 1 Crazy story, though.

Speaker 4 There's a quote from the Tues that they've always been upfront about the details of his conservatorship, which apparently was established to assist with Mr.

Speaker 4 Orr's needs, ranging from getting him health insurance and obtaining a driver's license to helping with college admissions.

Speaker 4 I'm sure it helped with college admissions. I'm sure it was...

Speaker 1 That feels like you could have just adopted him.

Speaker 4 You could have adopted him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, conservatorship is weird.

Speaker 4 And so Orr alleges that he just found out that it wasn't an adoption, but a conservatorship like... four or five months ago.
Yeah. And so that's the reason for him filing this lawsuit.

Speaker 4 Also, he did file the lawsuit on the day that his book came out, which is just something to keep in mind. That's a fact.

Speaker 1 Also, the Chewies are friends with Pen Mintz.

Speaker 4 They are. Yeah, also.

Speaker 1 So there's a lot of blurry stuff.

Speaker 4 A lot of facts that we have to wait to come out of this one.

Speaker 4 I think at the end of the day,

Speaker 4 you can pretty much say that, yeah, this has always kind of been

Speaker 4 the logical... explanation of what happened.
Like, they didn't bring this kid into their home because he was homeless and they wanted to be great people.

Speaker 4 They brought him into their home because they're like, oh, shit, this guy's awesome at football and we're the biggest old Miss fans in the world.

Speaker 4 So we might as well adopt him and then just funnel him down to Oxford.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we'll see where it ends up. All right, my hot seat

Speaker 1 is

Speaker 1 us

Speaker 1 because

Speaker 1 should we say what we're thinking about for the punishment this year? We discussed it.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Should we just say it? I think people get excited about it. And also it gives us the bonus of saying, of deciding the punishment without Hank here.
And then he has no say.

Speaker 1 so a hot seat is us we've been spending a lot of time together we went out to the

Speaker 1 the the golf today so we had some downtime and we decided we're going to change some things up this year in the fall for the Friday preview

Speaker 1 less picks but we're still going to do a competition and the loser of it we will we'll absolutely say it when we get to week one like you know if there's any changes that Hank will obviously have but the loser of the competition this year is going to have to do an entire hour show in a Vegas theater by themselves.

Speaker 4 A one-man show.

Speaker 1 A one-man show. PFT is only allowed to play one song on guitar for a certain amount of time too because you'd play Freebird for 60 minutes.
But yeah,

Speaker 1 I've been thinking about it and I don't think memes, Jake, or Hank,

Speaker 1 I don't know what you guys would do.

Speaker 4 I think Jake could do it. Jake's a bit more.
What would you do, Jake?

Speaker 1 I would learn magic tricks.

Speaker 10 Stand up.

Speaker 1 You would just stand up as a joke.

Speaker 4 I would have to learn and prepare i don't think you learn you have to write stand-up

Speaker 4 okay we should make another single stand up you can't just go out there and be carlos mancia for an hour and just do other people's activities correct correct although i maybe i'd do like a tribute band to mitch hedberg yeah no evening with mitch hedberg actually i would bring out a ping pong table and just play it

Speaker 1 put one side up okay just hit to yourself that'd be a bit boring that's not a great way i mean you have it's it's the perfect punishment that you obviously none of us have enough talent to do a one-man show,

Speaker 1 but you also need to do something that people are gonna buy tickets to this, yeah,

Speaker 10 yeah. But to be fair, like last year, we'll get a way to get everyone involved.
That's what made last year's stream. Like, you guys were commentating, like, we're all involved.

Speaker 4 Max should do a chip and deals routine.

Speaker 1 Oh, that'd be good.

Speaker 4 That'd be really good.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I might just dress as fat Elvis and see how many drugs I can do

Speaker 1 while sitting on a toilet.

Speaker 4 Yeah, watch me do drugs until I die.

Speaker 1 Until I

Speaker 1 sit on the toilet.

Speaker 4 If we did a show where we just consumed as many drugs as possible until we expired on stage, I feel like people would buy tickets to that.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
The stream numbers would be insane.

Speaker 4 Mr. Beast could never.

Speaker 1 Although YouTube doesn't allow that.

Speaker 1 But yeah,

Speaker 1 that'll be great. So Hot Seat House, we'll tweak it.
But I like the idea of just deciding a punishment with Hank out not here because you know he'll complain.

Speaker 1 You know he'll complain. I watched, by the way, side note, Real Housewise in New York last night.
I'm watching the new season. It sucks.

Speaker 1 An entire episode was was just based on them bitching at each other about not letting each other eat.

Speaker 4 Is that not the entire series?

Speaker 1 But they literally were just grit weak. It was just,

Speaker 1 dude, it was Hank would be a real housewife of New York. Yeah.
Like, he fits in perfectly with them. Like, we didn't, we worked out and then we didn't eat breakfast till 11 a.m.

Speaker 1 That was literally said.

Speaker 1 So, uh, and then my cool throne is

Speaker 1 me because I'm going to put a positive spin on life. And yes,

Speaker 1 our boss, Erica Nardini, had a profile in uh vanity fair where she said i am quote arguably one of the worst bettors of all time and he always loses the parlay talking about the can't lose parlay she said arguably

Speaker 1 that's true uh i am going to use this as a positive no one expects anything from me so uh if i am just if i have a pulse this year gambling, then I'm exceeding expectations.

Speaker 4 You could set the record for biggest improvement career. Most improved gambler.
Most improved. We should do an award at the end of football season.
Yeah. Most improved gambler.
Most improved gambler.

Speaker 1 So, yeah. That one hurt, though.

Speaker 4 Have you figured out what to do about Wanda Franco?

Speaker 1 I've already, you guys won't let me.

Speaker 1 There's a, sir,

Speaker 1 a second

Speaker 1 minor

Speaker 4 has been reported.

Speaker 1 You guys wouldn't let me drop him.

Speaker 1 You can't drop him.

Speaker 4 No, no, no, no, no. No, we didn't change it.

Speaker 1 So we go up to a voice. Who's we?

Speaker 4 You got a mouse in the pocket.

Speaker 1 So I've done everything that I could do, and I've also

Speaker 1 done a great job because I actually acted before the Rays acted. Okay.
And MLB. How about this?

Speaker 4 I will allow you to drop WandaFranco and pick up a new player on your team if you also drop all the home runs that he got.

Speaker 1 Because he hit those home runs. Big Cat, he hit those home runs while he was in not one, but two alleged relationships.

Speaker 1 Do you feel comfortable?

Speaker 1 Isn't it convenient that you're in last place and you're in the side?

Speaker 4 How convenient is that?

Speaker 1 How convenient is that?

Speaker 1 Nine home runs.

Speaker 10 Oh, that would put you.

Speaker 10 Oh, you'd still be 14 above PFT.

Speaker 1 Take the nine off. I don't care.
Okay. All right.
All right. And I'm not even picking up a new player yet.

Speaker 10 So you're at 66 and PFT is at 66.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I don't. And I want it on the record that PFT wanted me to keep the pedophile on the team

Speaker 1 on my team. No, I did.
If you end up losing,

Speaker 1 no, I don't want to win with the pedophile alleged.

Speaker 4 I didn't want you to keep him on your team.

Speaker 1 I wanted you to win.

Speaker 1 You didn't want me to drop him.

Speaker 4 The pedophile alleged.

Speaker 4 You have him on your pedophile list.

Speaker 1 A pedophile alleged. Okay, fine.
You know what? I'll do it. I'll drop him.
I'll drop all the home runs, nine home runs, and I'll pick up Corey Seeger.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Do I still get an injured drop?

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 1 So this is, but this is a separate step. So you get a pedophile drop.

Speaker 1 Is that separate? Hurt or pedophile? New segment. Separate.

Speaker 1 Corey Seeger, I think, is available, right? I believe so. Okay, great.

Speaker 4 All right. So also, Jake.

Speaker 1 My team is great now.

Speaker 4 Jake, create another list. Just I know you've got the list of all the different positions.
Put a PL on there. Everybody gets one player on the pedophile list.

Speaker 1 But you have to drop the home runs. You have to drop the home runs.

Speaker 4 Or you could keep the home runs if you're comfortable with keeping

Speaker 1 a pedophile. Yeah, I mean, I've basically cut him.
The Rays haven't cut him.

Speaker 1 This would suck.

Speaker 10 Corey Seeger's home runs start tonight,

Speaker 1 August 15th.

Speaker 4 That's the prisoner's dilemma of the pedophile list.

Speaker 1 Did Corey Seeger hit a home run tonight? Do I get it if he hit one? Before I look,

Speaker 4 you should give one. No, starting now.
No, you should give one. No, no, because he wasn't on your team until just now.

Speaker 1 What team is he on?

Speaker 1 Rangers. Oh, I looked up the Mariners.

Speaker 10 Yeah, he hit one tonight.

Speaker 1 No, that's bullshit. Did he? Yeah.
No, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 I should get that. You probably have it.
You probably have

Speaker 4 a run alert set up on Twitter. No, I don't.

Speaker 1 I should get that.

Speaker 4 No, you didn't have him on your team. All right, fine.

Speaker 1 I don't want a pedophile on my team, alleged. Okay, let's go to the

Speaker 1 interviews. We have a great interview with John Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton

Speaker 1 back to back, and then we'll do our Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 11 Paul's here, kids are back in school, vacations are over, and cozy season is officially on. You know what that means? Bombus season is on.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, reigning masters champion, one of the best golfers in the world. It is John Rahm.

Speaker 1 And I have the most important question to start this interview. Can you break the news on your master's dinner?

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 that's all we care about.

Speaker 7 You know, there's two questions I get very often. Okay.
Number one is what I was thinking on 18 when my t-ball hit the branch. Yep.

Speaker 7 Number two is a master's dinner. Okay.
I can't, honestly, I haven't given it as much thought as you would think. Like the first few weeks, it's all I thought about for some reason.

Speaker 7 And after that, I haven't. So I know the dessert.

Speaker 1 Okay, what is it?

Speaker 7 I don't even know if that's a name in English, to be honest.

Speaker 1 Okay, you just say it. We'll look it up after that.

Speaker 7 So in spanish will be milojas which translates 2000 leaves okay there's a couple different versions and then

Speaker 7 not i guess it's like a cocktail reception so early on if anybody knows from spain we're really known for the spanish ham

Speaker 7 so we'll have that everything in between i have no idea that's good though i mean

Speaker 7 you got the bookends so no that's the thing like i don't know i don't know i have to ask a bunch of questions right like i have an idea on a wine that's personal to me and it's really good wine as well but i don't know if it needs to to be part of the wine cellar of agasta nacional or not right uh i don't know what in between what goes or how much we can have or not have i know we pay for it well i pay for it so can you bring in your own chef can you bring in jose andres so he can tell the kitchen teach them a little bit what to do but i think their cooks have to do it i'm not sure it's a great problem to have is you should in in true spanish tradition you should start the dinner at like midnight get everybody super tired

Speaker 7 true spanish tradition the dinner will start i was gonna say nine but that would be a little early for a lot lot of people.

Speaker 7 I mean, we would, yeah, it's probably one of the only countries where you start dinner one day and you finish the next day. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 It's a great problem to have, though.

Speaker 7 Masters champion, have to figure out a I don't know if a couple guys that attend that dinner would make it that late.

Speaker 1 Dinner slash late.

Speaker 7 I'm usually asleep at 9.30, man.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't be making it that late. I did have a question about the masters, the first hole.
the double bogey. I think I tweeted.
I was like, thanks for coming out, John. You did? See ya.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like, having that happen, though, were you like, I mean, I guess it's a testament to your mental strength as a golfer. Does that phase you at all? Or are you like, no, it's a four-day tournament.

Speaker 1 I'll be fine.

Speaker 7 Listen, if you're going to make a double bogey, right,

Speaker 7 might as well be either the first hole of the tournament when you have 71 holes to make it up, or like Scotty did the year before, do it on the last hole when you already know you've won and you can afford to do it, where it's technically...

Speaker 7 inconsequential, right?

Speaker 4 Right. So,

Speaker 7 you know, at that point,

Speaker 7 the funny thing is I hit all all those puts the way I wanted. It was just a lack of judgment on the speed and misread on Agua.

Speaker 7 I mean, it's too many putts, but like, out of those four that I hit, the fourth one went in. The two short ones were just misreads.
I hit them good. I can't really say anything else.

Speaker 7 And that's what I told my caddy at, I'm going to the next T. And I've always said, I've told a few people this in a few more podcasts.

Speaker 7 If you're standing on the seventh furway at Augusta National on the front line, right? At even par. And you've hit the furway, I think you're in a really good spot.
And that's what I had in mind.

Speaker 7 And funny enough, I was even even standing on that fur away, made Birdie in seven, then made the Great Eagle on eight and kind of the run when, you know, took off after that.

Speaker 1 Well, there's also a part of your Masters Championship that you don't know that you should probably thank us, our producer, Hank, who's not here today. So we all bet on Brooks.

Speaker 1 And on Saturday during the rain delay, he was like, should we schedule Brooks to come on on Sunday night? So he pretty much jinxed him. So

Speaker 1 that opened it up for you. Yeah.
Thank you. So yeah, you're watching it.
Well, I appreciate it. Yeah, it had nothing to do with it.
There's no other reason why I was playing that country.

Speaker 1 Well, the rest of the

Speaker 4 How much of it was the Jinx and how much of it was just God raining and causing a delay?

Speaker 7 On what?

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 7 Brooks didn't have to play through the rain. So

Speaker 7 he got to post two scores before the bad weather.

Speaker 7 My wave, I had to play Friday nine holes and a lot of win and then finished the round out on the rain the next day.

Speaker 1 The hardest masters champion ever.

Speaker 7 No, I don't think so. There's been a couple situations like that.
I think Tiger told me very similar fashion on 2005. They played 54 holes on the weekend.
Jeez.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's a lot of golf.

Speaker 1 That's way too much golf.

Speaker 7 Yeah, I know. So there's been other weeks.
Like the year Sergio won, it was a really windy Masters as well.

Speaker 7 There have been some tough ones. Obviously, this one in recent memory because of how cold it was

Speaker 7 Saturday. Yeah.
I mean, it was freezing in the morning. Yeah.

Speaker 4 I think you can make the claim to the greatest golf shot of all time at Augusta. Maybe in the history of golf.
I can. Yeah.
The hole-in-one that you had where you skipped across the water.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 That's the best golf shot that'll ever be hit.

Speaker 7 It's a lot of luck, but thank you.

Speaker 1 No, but I mean, it's a luck, though.

Speaker 4 So, every time, every time I hit a ball into the water now, I think, well, I might John Rommit. I might just keep skipping and go in the hole.
You're never out of it.

Speaker 4 But that was truly like one of the most incredible feats of, I don't know, it was like physics. I don't know how you did it.

Speaker 7 Is there one and only time I've hit the green doing that? Actually, I think it's the only time I've gotten it out of the water doing that and actually goes in. Yeah, what's the strategy?

Speaker 7 No spectators.

Speaker 4 Yeah, how do you hit that? When you're stepping up to it, what are you trying to accomplish? Just hit it low. Is there any spin?

Speaker 1 Yeah, so

Speaker 7 you kind of have to pick what you think is going to be best and how the ball's going to react.

Speaker 7 So you actually can curve it in the water because the spin of the ball will make it bounce one way or the other. But they've actually changed where we hit it from.

Speaker 7 It used to be a more uniform slope where you could hit it harder and get a bigger bounce.

Speaker 7 And now it's a bit flatter and then steeper slope. So you can't quite get the same angle.
So they changed it since then because we've done it so many times they had to renew that area of the course.

Speaker 1 They rom-proofed it.

Speaker 7 No, no, no, they just have to do it because we were getting dangerous close dangerously close to at one point somebody ending up in the pond yeah so yeah i have a you might want to see that happen we don't want to do that

Speaker 1 yeah i would want to see that i have a very dumb question um do you ever surprise yourself with your strength do you ever hit a shot and you're like man i'm strong because you are strong no no there's a lot of people that hit it way further than i do but you're strong Well, I'm bigger than the average golfer.

Speaker 1 Right. But I just see sometimes you hit shots.
I'm like, damn, he's strong.

Speaker 1 No, not.

Speaker 1 I told you it was a dumb question. No, because

Speaker 7 you play with Rory, who I'm taller and heavier than, and

Speaker 7 he hits it way harder than I do. So it's kind of like in golf, you can't really do that.
There's a lot of players out there that are not.

Speaker 7 It's like

Speaker 7 the lanky pitchers, right? You have the string being that just gets on the mound and throws one or three, and you're like, this makes no sense. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's true. It's the same.

Speaker 7 It's the same extent, same exact feeling.

Speaker 7 So you can't really, this game humbles you way too quick so you can't get up there on just hitting a hard shot okay well maybe this weekend think about it once when you hit one just be like man i'm strong if you could hit the ball if i'm thinking about that is because the round is not going good and i need some positivity if you could hit the ball as far as rory how good would you be at golf the old michael block oh

Speaker 1 i would be i would be better than you i'd be better than rory if i could hit it as far as rory oh man that comment didn't did not age well for him no that was tough yeah he was he was living he was feeling himself a little bit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's okay.

Speaker 7 He had a nice little moment there. Listen,

Speaker 7 I think he averages about 10 yards more than me. So, yeah, it would be great in some holes to have a shorter club end.

Speaker 1 But, you know,

Speaker 7 this game, there's so many variables. It doesn't mean you're going to be

Speaker 1 better.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 4 Speaking of variables, like you're known for your compact short backswing. Does that actually, is that a benefit for you?

Speaker 4 And I know that you had to learn how to hit the ball that way because you were born with, was it a club foot? So you had to learn how to hit the ball that way.

Speaker 7 the fact that your back swing is so short there are fewer things that can go wrong in it right in theory yeah my wife uh my my wife is a tennis player she always compared it to to andy rottick serve right it was also like short and quick and and yeah i mean the the shorter the length of the swing technically the less time for things to go wrong uh but it's just by my biomechanics right i mean just what i had on my right foot growing up uh it's just kind of

Speaker 7 how i had to swing it there's no i can't really i could do a full turn but because that ankle can't, doesn't have the mobility, I lose all stability and I can't hit it.

Speaker 7 Yeah, when I was younger, I actually had a very long swing trying to, you know, hit it like John Daly, like strong and way overdone, and I couldn't hit it anywhere.

Speaker 7 And it took one, one smart enough swing coach to say, hey, you know, you kind of just hit your growth spur, you're big. Maybe to put it in play and figure out if you can actually be good at golf.

Speaker 7 And ever since, I've had that three-quarter feeling swing.

Speaker 1 So one of the craziest parts about golf is how it's like ever evolving, how your swing coach, you know, even Tiger when he rein reinvented his swing have you had to reinvent your swing or do you think that will ever happen

Speaker 7 i don't see a way in which

Speaker 7 right now i can make a drastic change like the biggest change would be that right like maybe trying to get me to go to parallel and perfect playing but

Speaker 7 i don't think i would become a better ball striker that way right so maybe it'd be other parts of the game where i could try to change that you wouldn't talk about as much because it's not as noticeable but uh i believe more in like putting in the work every day instead of like drastically changing one day.

Speaker 7 Yeah. Yeah.
There's many ways to win golf tournaments. And if you're comfortable with what you can do, a lot of, you know, you might be able to accomplish certain things.

Speaker 7 Like if I do a drastic change right now, Tiger had the ability to go through those changes and maybe not have a good year, but then after that one year, go off.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 7 Which I don't think anybody's ever really been able to do besides him. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, that's got to be so, it's got to be frustrating if you're at the top of your game, it's not quite good enough, and then you have to reinvent your entire swing from the ground up.

Speaker 4 It feels like taking a massive step backwards and you have to have confidence that it's going to work out.

Speaker 7 I do think a couple of his changes were due to injuries. Yeah.
I think.

Speaker 7 I'm not, you know, I'm just making this up, but it could be, you know, he had a lot of surgery, some knee issues, so he had to adapt his swing to what his body could do, right?

Speaker 7 And even what he did again after his back fusion when he won the Masters, I mean, he was hitting it completely different to what he could do when he was younger.

Speaker 7 And he was still able to win the Masters.

Speaker 4 So during that Masters, you're competing against Tiger Woods.

Speaker 4 Is there a part of you that's rooting for tiger woods to win the masters because it's gonna be so awesome once i'm done and out of contention yeah

Speaker 7 up until then no i mean you want to win i played with him the first two days that tournament and uh it was quite impressive to see a bit of the not really the old tiger but a bit of the the glimpse of the magic right yeah yeah um

Speaker 7 but no you i'm i mean it's great to be a part of it and see the tiger effect on the golf course but no you know i mean i'm not really rooting for anybody else. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Are you super, I know you are super competitive.

Speaker 4 Are you competitive against other people or are you competitive more against yourself like trying to hit like play the best John Rahm round that John Rahm can play both

Speaker 7 It's a bit of both

Speaker 7 You can't really affect like what I do shouldn't be affecting you on Thursday through Saturday really right like you you really competing against yourself.

Speaker 7 It's maybe down the stretch on on a Sunday where your actions can take into effect what other people end up doing depending on everybody's playing. So it's a bit of both.

Speaker 1 Yeah. What's the what's What's the one piece of your game that you work on more than people realize?

Speaker 1 Like the one that maybe it's not a struggle for you, but the one that you have to put in the extra effort that people, you know, watching on Thursday through Sunday are like, oh, John Rahm's just the perfect golfer.

Speaker 1 That's how we see it. I don't know.

Speaker 7 I think, oh, it's tough to say because I spend a lot of time on everything. Right.

Speaker 7 I think because of the cards I dealt growing up, I was dealt physically growing up. I spend more time warming up than before I show up to the range than most people think.

Speaker 7 Like, some people can get off the plane, go to the T, and hit it. I wasn't blessed with that.
Like, my right ankle just can't move, and it would take me a while to warm up.

Speaker 7 Like, I could play, but not at a high level. So, my routine before I get to the practice team might be a little bit longer than the average.

Speaker 7 But those are things that you don't see on the golf course for anybody, really.

Speaker 7 For golf, I'm pretty even throughout.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 7 I think people

Speaker 7 I spend more time putting than I think people realize

Speaker 7 That's again, that's something you don't really see. Yeah, you don't see what we're doing at home, right?

Speaker 1 Right, it's just it's crazy. It's hard.

Speaker 7 It's hard to tell. It's just hard to say, right? Like when you think, like the comment that always skills me in sports is, oh, he's bad at this.
He's clearly not working on it.

Speaker 7 That it's probably the opposite. You're probably spending a lot of time trying to fix something.
Right, you're overworking on it. No, not over, but like a small little change, right?

Speaker 5 Like,

Speaker 7 the numbers might not always reflect an improvement. How about that? If that makes any sense.

Speaker 4 No, that makes perfect.

Speaker 7 Right. So we have all these guys that, you know, are full-on stats.
And oh, this guy last year was 150 faith, and this year is 140 faith. He needs to keep working on this.

Speaker 7 Well, maybe he is working on it. You just have no idea.
Right. Right.
And then four years later, bam, that same player is 20th doing something. Like, you don't know.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Takes some time for it to pay off.

Speaker 4 You went to Arizona State.

Speaker 4 How awesome was that? Just how fun is it? I'm going to tell you right now.

Speaker 7 It was great, but probably not on the tone you're implying.

Speaker 1 No, here's what I'm going to say. It seems like a really fun school to go to.
I didn't know what to

Speaker 1 do.

Speaker 7 I was like, 21 until basically I had like six months left, not even. So

Speaker 7 it was a lot of fun, but I didn't get to experience what a lot of people think of ASU.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 And I'm not going to lie, I got deathly scared when I came early on. Like, I mean, Spain,

Speaker 7 when it comes to minors drinking, then like, obviously you have rules, but it's not like the worst thing that could happen was they would just call your parents and maybe take you home. Right.

Speaker 7 That's about it. Right.
Over here, if you're just holding a beard on the street, even if you're over 21, it can be an issue. And you're on scholarships.
MICs, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Can you have fun in this country?

Speaker 7 That was so

Speaker 12 the first few years I was very scared of

Speaker 7 doing anything. And then you kind of learn a little bit and

Speaker 7 open up, right? But I also had the language barrier early on,

Speaker 7 trying to

Speaker 7 get used to a different culture, different,

Speaker 7 let's say, and you know unwritten rules about what you can or cannot say in conversation right i mean it's it's a lot to get used to then be able to enjoy

Speaker 1 yeah all right so a couple last quick questions i know you got to run um

Speaker 1 for shinnecock for the us open i saw you driving a porsche maybe a porsche really small car how'd you fit in that no it was no it was the c it was a c-class i believe okay

Speaker 1 okay well you drove right by and i was like i just fit you a couple of 6'3 i can i can fit in most cars that's it yeah okay That was a dumb question.

Speaker 7 I think once you go past, once you get to the 6'5s, is when you start getting, maybe I can't fit in.

Speaker 7 I still have that. I still have that.
No, Mercedes, luckily,

Speaker 7 the sports cars have quite a bit of room. Yes.
Germans on average are tall.

Speaker 1 Yes. All right.
What about

Speaker 4 Lucas Glover last week, Memphis Heat?

Speaker 1 In your game prep. Are you thinking maybe about what color pants you're going to wear? Because

Speaker 1 things could get dicey.

Speaker 7 So the only thing, I think the only thing you could do to see is black pants. There's no way in hell you wear them.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's hot. Yeah.

Speaker 7 No, I mean, you, I remember, I think it was my Saturday round. Uh, I was,

Speaker 7 I did, they weren't white pants, but they were like cream color.

Speaker 7 And you're not thinking about see-through stuff, but it was on like the sixth tall where I looked down, I had black underwear, and I'm like, okay, you can clearly see the outwear.

Speaker 7 But it wasn't, then you see other people on the group. I'm not paying attention.
I look at somebody at one point, putty, and I'm like, well, he's got the same issue. I think he had similar pants to

Speaker 7 the CBS was also following him very closely but i mean it's it's what was it 94 with 90 plus percent humidity i mean it's just kind of how it goes yeah it was insane i wish i wish we had like well yeah you could maybe change the same short term yeah like in two minutes later it's always it's going to be short already that's true i wish you know it's in all the sports their clothing's made for sweat like when you're playing football that's made for that basketball other things like baseball as well ours they're not always a lot of the brands are not made for that type of conditions

Speaker 4 Yeah, I'm saying, like, you've got you got the live merger going on. Maybe you share, you cross-pollinate a little bit, you adopt some of their rules.
Maybe you're allowed to wear shorts now.

Speaker 7 Yeah, you still have sweat on those shorts.

Speaker 1 That's true.

Speaker 7 That wouldn't change. I think it's more.
Maybe we need to talk to somebody to make a little bit more.

Speaker 4 Goldbox sponsor, yes.

Speaker 4 Athletic shorts.

Speaker 7 But I mean, it wasn't only Lucas. I think it was a lot of people.

Speaker 1 Oh, it was everyone. It was everyone.

Speaker 1 All right. I have one last question.

Speaker 1 Give it up for Chicago.

Speaker 13 Sebastian Menescalco's new stand-up special, It Ain't Right, is coming to Hulu on November 21st.

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

Speaker 13 Sebastian Maniscalco, It Ain't Right, premieres November 21st, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers. Terms apply.

Speaker 1 Can you rate my golf swing real quick?

Speaker 7 And then I think PFT has one last question. Well, Max Home is the swing raider, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but you just tell me what you think. Watch it.
I've been working on it a lot. How long have you been playing?

Speaker 1 My whole life. Your whole life? No, that's a lie.
Yeah, I was going to say. But I've been working on it a lot.
You tell me what you think.

Speaker 7 You're not serious.

Speaker 7 I already know.

Speaker 1 You even hit it. Oh, there you go.
Yeah, I piped it. Are you serious?

Speaker 7 That's got the slow-mo.

Speaker 1 Piped. You hear me say piped?

Speaker 4 Wait, this is serious? Yeah, that's my swing.

Speaker 7 What do you think? That sit-up is now your real swing.

Speaker 1 Have you ever thought about locking your legs?

Speaker 7 That sit-up is now your real swing. Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 No, it's not.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it is. No, it's not.

Speaker 4 Pinkat was born without ACLs. I shot his head.

Speaker 1 Yeah, boy, so

Speaker 1 I shot a 72 at Shinnecock once. I think you actually needed that score to make the cut.

Speaker 14 I did because

Speaker 1 I would have definitely needed it.

Speaker 7 I mean, listen, besides the knee lock, which I still don't believe is true,

Speaker 7 everything else is good.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 I mean,

Speaker 7 you know, it's just

Speaker 7 just, yeah, I mean, that ball, you hit it good, it goes straight.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 I mean, you're probably leaving about 40 yards over there in the tank because you know, you're refusing to use your legs or something.

Speaker 7 But besides that, no, it's on plane.

Speaker 1 It doesn't look bad at all. Okay, thank you.
That's John Robb approved. Did you have one last question?

Speaker 4 Yeah, yeah, I want to talk about real quick the famous fortune cookie. The fortune cookie that you opened in, what, 2013? Oh, yeah, I...

Speaker 7 This came up. I don't even remember it.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so I was wondering about it. So you tweeted out in 2013, I'm going to win the Masters.

Speaker 4 And someday, I guess, yeah you had a fortune cookie that said like your wildest wishes will come true um i was going to ask you if you thought about that fortune cookie and about that tweet and thinking like you know walking out the 18th at augusta thinking to yourself i bet you i'm going so viral right now for like august

Speaker 7 i can't stress enough how far gone from my memory that was yeah like i when they showed it to me i did not believe it was me who posted that.

Speaker 1 That's incredible.

Speaker 7 Right now, like I did have, if you follow more tweets, I think there was about a two-week stretch that I walked by Pan Express after class every single day, right?

Speaker 7 So, like for two weeks, I think every day for lunch, I have Panda Express and had a fortune cookie. I don't think that's the only one I posted because I do remember,

Speaker 7 I don't know, he used to work for ASU. I don't know if he still does.
His name is Doc Tamaro. He did a lot of social media for ASU, and he responded like something like that.

Speaker 7 Like, you know, maybe you have a bit of an obsession with Panda Express.

Speaker 4 You should lay off. It's good.

Speaker 7 I know. I guess one of my tweets was that.

Speaker 1 Right? I mean, I walk by it every day.

Speaker 7 I just figure it out and I get some orange chicken for lunch.

Speaker 1 Well, to bookend the interview, what about panda express at the master's dinner

Speaker 1 wouldn't that be perfect

Speaker 7 listen if i if i were to go the fast foot route

Speaker 4 panda express would not make the cut okay okay and then i would probably be very high up okay all right if i had to go that route if i had to go that route well john i know jj wouldn't approve of that but i don't know we've had the discussion he posted a screenshot by the way of your group chat he broke the code yeah he broke not supposed to do that that's mad that's not a good friend yeah what did he do He posted a screenshot of your group chat that you had with

Speaker 7 which one?

Speaker 4 Zach Ertz.

Speaker 1 When he was saying, like, you know, like, go out and play well and stuff like that for the masters.

Speaker 7 Oh, what Zach said before the round?

Speaker 4 Yeah, but you can't post a screenshot of the group chat.

Speaker 7 Oh, well, I made it public. I think at that point, you're okay.
I think it was like, just because we had discussed that I was going to make it public if I won, which is funny enough that happened.

Speaker 7 I think it was justified. But you got to ask Zach that.

Speaker 4 Just keep your eye on JJ.

Speaker 1 He's a bit of a snake.

Speaker 1 I think zach is too much of a nice guy to maybe say anything to him yeah if it was reversed i think jj might have said something yeah absolutely um well john thank you so much it's been awesome man now pleasure guys good luck this weekend and we'd love to have you back on anytime our paths cross perfect thanks thank you man

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is Tyrrell Hatton.
I said that to myself about a thousand times walking into the club today. Did I screw it up? No, you actually said it right.

Speaker 1 Okay, Tyrrell Hatton,

Speaker 1 pro golfer here at the playoffs in Olympia Fields.

Speaker 1 Great to have you on. Excited.

Speaker 1 We actually, can I tell you the backstory?

Speaker 1 We're not the biggest golf guys, right? We like watching all the majors.

Speaker 1 we like playing our producer hank who's a die-hard golf fan he all he does is golf when we were deciding who we were going to interview he specifically said we had to have you on the show so you that's how you came recommended from our producer okay someone under pressure that no no no i'm just saying you i i think he wanted you on the show because you're is it fair to say you can be you can be the bad boy golf

Speaker 1 Uh

Speaker 14 no, I mean, well, I get frustrated and I'll swear and throw clubs, but but I mean like anybody else, yeah, it doesn't make you a bad person.

Speaker 1 That's why you're, I feel like you're the most relatable golfer. Maybe not the bad boy, the most relatable golfer out there.

Speaker 14 Potentially, yeah. Yeah.
I'm always honest.

Speaker 4 I mean, I did read that you have a Lamborghini that's painted like the Joker.

Speaker 1 Is that true?

Speaker 14 Yeah, that was a while ago, though.

Speaker 14 Yeah, that was probably...

Speaker 14 Might have been like five years ago now, though. But yeah, I had it wrapped purple.

Speaker 14 Originally had it wrapped in a matte black. So I kind of went from Batman to the Joker.

Speaker 14 Purple's my favorite color.

Speaker 1 Oh, I like that. Yeah.
I like that. You don't, that's the, isn't that the royal color? I think that's the royal family's color.

Speaker 4 I think that's the purple, the color of black.

Speaker 1 That's because like when they bump their like leg into a coffee table, they all have hemophilia and they start bleeding. That's the purple.
That's where it comes from.

Speaker 4 No, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 That's the true story. I don't know if you, I don't know if they taught you that in school.
No.

Speaker 14 I didn't learn much at school, to be honest.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 you are, I think, the most relatable golfer out there.

Speaker 1 You've dubbed yourself Head Case Hatton.

Speaker 1 And you said, I think the quote I read was,

Speaker 1 you've judged your mental game as low as a three out of 10.

Speaker 1 What is the, like, what's been the arc there? Have you gotten better, you think, with your mental game, or is it still, I'm just going to show my emotion?

Speaker 14 I mean,

Speaker 14 I wouldn't say I've improved much in that sense.

Speaker 14 Yeah, I mean, I always get frustrated. That's just the person I am.

Speaker 14 And yeah, I'll show that. I think the important thing is for it to not really affect like the next shot.
And

Speaker 14 for sure, sometimes that does happen.

Speaker 15 But

Speaker 1 more often than not,

Speaker 14 I'll still be frustrated, but I've got a clear head and I know what I'm trying to do.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so was it ever a situation where you were like, I have to stop, you know, showing my emotion and then you realize, wait, why am I trying to be someone I'm not? Like,

Speaker 1 I should be who I am on the course. That's probably the best approach.

Speaker 14 Yeah, I think there's

Speaker 14 there was a period where I tried to rein it in, but that wasn't a very successful period at reining it in or

Speaker 14 sort of playing decent golf. So

Speaker 14 that that was a that was a long time ago. Yeah, I just

Speaker 14 embrace who I am, I guess.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you got to be you. And I mean, a lot of people out there, when they play golf, they hit a bad shot and they do a lot of the same things that you do.

Speaker 4 Actually, my trick is if I play like two shots poorly in a row, I'm like, well, I need to have another beer. And then I'll just drink a beer.

Speaker 4 And then you reach that golden ratio where you're like, you know, just buzz, but not drunk enough where it affects your game. Then you really start shooting well.

Speaker 14 I mean, drinking and playing golf for me is brutal.

Speaker 14 We had a lads trip a month and a half ago, and I mean, the standard of golf was horrific. But,

Speaker 14 I mean, we had a good time, which kind of was the main thing.

Speaker 1 But,

Speaker 14 yeah, the golf for me was pretty sad at some of the shots that were hit.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I did see one moment where you got frustrated, and this is the part that I warned you about. Like, we might have to fight after this because we respect golf courses.

Speaker 4 We root for the course in tournaments. And at Augusta,

Speaker 4 you gave the middle finger to the course.

Speaker 4 You flipped off the course because you were so upset. Actually, that might be almost a sign of respect.
It's like a

Speaker 1 worthy competitor to the course. So

Speaker 4 inside you are two wolves. You got Matsuyama's caddy that bows to the course out of respect, and you that flips it off because you're like, okay, you got me on this one course.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 14 I'm definitely not the first one, and I don't think I'll be the last person to do that.

Speaker 14 But yeah, that was

Speaker 14 probably not my finest moment doing something like that.

Speaker 1 I think, who cares?

Speaker 1 Listen,

Speaker 1 you should show that. Also, didn't Augusta try to fight you? Didn't it or injure you?

Speaker 4 It started it.

Speaker 14 Yeah, it started my wrist problem. So the course started the fight.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's on the course. The course threw the first punch.

Speaker 4 You were self-defense, yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, would you like to apologize

Speaker 1 against the course?

Speaker 4 Would you like to apologize to the course?

Speaker 1 Don't. No.

Speaker 1 Don't. No, don't.

Speaker 14 Not going there.

Speaker 1 I love it because it really is, when you're watching golf, there's obviously an air of like the rules, and I get it.

Speaker 1 But I think golf has grown in such popularity, and a lot of people like to watch it, and they like to see the emotions.

Speaker 1 And, you know, even when you guys play in Arizona and there's the whole where, you know, fans are going crazy, like that's sport. That's fun.
So I like that stuff. I like when you show emotion.

Speaker 14 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 14 that week in Phoenix is carnage. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 14 But it's fun. 16th hole is mega.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It is mega.

Speaker 4 It's so mega.

Speaker 1 Definition of mega. What's your best shot?

Speaker 1 Have you ever gotten it very close to the

Speaker 1 because I would imagine, walk me through it. The 16th hole, for people who don't know,

Speaker 1 it's not the waste management anymore. What is it now?

Speaker 1 WM Open in Phoenix. If you don't go for the hole, you'll get booed.

Speaker 1 Does that get in your head when you step up there and you're like, I know what I should do, but I also don't want to get booed?

Speaker 14 Well, I mean, I teed myself up for a roast in the first year I played it, I think it was on the Saturday.

Speaker 14 They pushed the tee forward, so it was like 110 yards. So it was really short.

Speaker 14 And yeah, decided to get the crowd to make loads of noise.

Speaker 14 And then I hit a sandwich to like 40 feet and just everyone booed. And I fully deserved horrific golf shot.

Speaker 1 Horrible.

Speaker 14 I wanted to just, yeah, bury myself. But yeah, that was a bad moment.
If you're going to boost the crowd up, you need to hit a good shot. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so that was not a good time to do that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you should have chugged a beer right after that. That's the only thing you can, or take your shirt off.

Speaker 14 No, I mean, it was just heading my hands and kind of try and drown out the booing.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Do you have a do you have a favorite hole? I think that's probably my favorite hole.

Speaker 1 Yeah. On that course.
Yeah, no, just in general.

Speaker 4 Because you got the stadium seating, you got like 40,000 drunk bros from Scottsdale in the stands. Like, it's nice.
It's a nice change of pace.

Speaker 4 Is there a hole that you look at and you're like, yeah, that's, I love that hole.

Speaker 14 Well, I mean, the 16th air is unique. There's no other hole like it that we would play throughout the rest of the year.

Speaker 14 You do definitely have a bit more adrenaline when you stand on that hole.

Speaker 14 But I think, like, as we're just talking about it, like, that one

Speaker 14 sticks in the most.

Speaker 4 Wrong answer. The correct answer is the next one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the next hole.

Speaker 4 The next hole is always the most important hole. Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Agree to disagree.

Speaker 4 Trying to bump you up to 3.5 out of 10 on the diet.

Speaker 1 Now, in terms of the caddy relationship, how does that work with your caddy? Does he ever say to you, like, hey, calm down or like, don't react this way?

Speaker 1 Or does he know, like, I just got to let him be himself?

Speaker 14 For the most part, he'll just like leave me to it. And then,

Speaker 14 yeah, I think once he's probably sick of listening to what's coming out of my mouth, then he'll just tell me to rein it in and focus on the next one. Yeah.

Speaker 14 So, yeah,

Speaker 14 he'll let me be for a period, but yeah,

Speaker 14 once he's had enough, he'll say something.

Speaker 1 That's it.

Speaker 4 And your dad, your swing coach, right? Yeah. So, how does that work? Are you allowed to get mad at him if he isn't doing his job well? Is that an awkward relationship?

Speaker 4 Like, you have to go back to your dad at some point and be like, come on, dad, I need more help.

Speaker 14 Well, yeah, I mean, it has its

Speaker 14 awkward moments, I guess.

Speaker 14 But he's been my coach since I was

Speaker 14 10. So, we've been on quite a

Speaker 14 long journey I guess you could say he's done a good job yeah no it's been good

Speaker 14 I think

Speaker 14 that there's times where it's more challenging mainly because I'd be quite frustrated on the range and then it's not so much that you're almost looking for like a magic answer and there kind of isn't one

Speaker 14 it's just a case of

Speaker 14 Some days your

Speaker 14 rhythm of your swings just slightly out and but all the positions that you'd expect to see when you're swinging well, you're hitting those spots, but you're just not

Speaker 14 there rhythm-wise. And it's so it's just a, I guess it's why it's one of the most frustrating games you can play.

Speaker 1 So, in terms of golf, you know, like when we talk to starting pitchers in baseball, we'll always have the question of like, do you know the second you step out there, like, today's the day, today is my day.

Speaker 1 Do you know the minute that you hit the range before a round, you're like, this is everything's coming easy to me, or it's going to be a struggle uh yes and no i think when you're when you're going through a phase of of playing

Speaker 14 well naturally then it feels easier um

Speaker 14 and even just

Speaker 14 but it it is a mad game like you can have a warm-up on the range and you don't miss a shot and you get out on the golf course and for some reason you're trying to do exactly the same thing but you you basically can't hit a golf shot right you end up shooting a bad score and then I mean, I've had it plenty of times where I've had a shocking warm-up and I'm raging going to the first tee and sat on the first tee straight down the middle and you're kind of off and running and you go and have a decent day.

Speaker 14 Right.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 It's just, yeah, it's mad.

Speaker 1 What's the hardest part of the mental game in golf? Because like...

Speaker 1 For me, and I'm not a pro golfer. I don't know if you knew that.

Speaker 1 It's like holes like 11 through 17. I'm like, I just want to go home.
Do you ever have have that where it's like, this is long, like, this is a long time?

Speaker 14 Yeah, you can have that on a Friday afternoon when you're basically missing the cut and you're just, oh, yeah, that probably sucks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you beat you.

Speaker 14 If someone was like, look, you can just go in, you'd probably just take it.

Speaker 1 Withdraw, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Take an injury. Make an injury.

Speaker 14 Sure. No.

Speaker 4 Start doing this with your shoulder.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
But what is

Speaker 1 what is the most difficult thing that maybe the average fan doesn't realize in terms of the mental game or even the swing game?

Speaker 14 I think one of of the hardest things mentally really is when you've

Speaker 14 on a sunday and you see it every week um

Speaker 14 guys that are going out in the last few groups

Speaker 14 you've got a chance to to win the golf tournament if you go have a decent day and there's always one to two say one or two guys that have a bad sunday and that's um

Speaker 14 It's a frustrating place to be because you're like you're trying your best and and things just aren't happening like you can hit good golf shots to

Speaker 14 say five six feet whatever and then you you lip out the putt and it's just it's just not not going your way and you you have to keep trying your best and it it's like deflating because

Speaker 1 you

Speaker 14 you've kind of got you've done all the hard work at the start of the week to get yourself in position you carry on playing well um and it just doesn't really work out i think that's always hard um that's a good answer so is how many shots in a round would you say you need a little luck

Speaker 1 well um

Speaker 14 probably like half of them really really yeah

Speaker 14 yeah certainly when you get around the around the greens yeah um

Speaker 14 yeah you need you need some you need a little bit of luck right to certainly for putts to drop and things like that and

Speaker 14 days when you when you're hitting good putts and they're they're lipping out and but you you have to try and trust that process and keep doing the same thing and it doesn't work but then there's other days where

Speaker 14 it's going your way and you might not hit like as good a putt but then it will bobble in and it it keeps your momentum going and you keep sort of riding that wave um

Speaker 1 so yeah this is yeah lucky yeah i mean it's it's crazy to think that luck does play a big part would you rather be lucky or good

Speaker 1 both help yeah

Speaker 4 i'd rather be lucky I would rather be lucky. If you're lucky all the time, then you're actually good.
So you get past both worlds. But you can be good and not lucky.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah. So we got the Ryder Cup coming up.
We're Mortal Enemies.

Speaker 4 You've competed in it twice. Is it coming home?

Speaker 1 Do you feel confident?

Speaker 14 I hope so.

Speaker 16 Well,

Speaker 14 I think for the guys that played at Whistling Straits

Speaker 14 that will be on the team in Rome,

Speaker 14 you have that added motivation.

Speaker 14 I mean, they're amazing weeks anyway. I've been fortunate to play the the last two, and

Speaker 1 I

Speaker 14 loved both weeks.

Speaker 14 I think Whistling Straits was a shame because we didn't have, because of COVID, European fans couldn't travel, and then you don't have that.

Speaker 14 I guess that, you know, at any sporting event, you've got the home and away end, and you've got the back and forth.

Speaker 14 It was just so heavily one-sided

Speaker 14 support for the US team.

Speaker 4 We're a good sports town. We show up to support our golfers.

Speaker 14 Yeah, I mean, the support that the guys had that week was amazing for them.

Speaker 14 It made it a little bit more challenging for us, but we knew if it was quiet on the golf course, we were doing our job because.

Speaker 4 So the US fans won it for the United States is pretty much.

Speaker 1 No, not really.

Speaker 14 I mean, ultimately, the US team played amazing and fully deserved to win. There's no doubt about that.
I just think home support goes a long way.

Speaker 14 And I think that that will play a big role in Rome.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Is there a different mindset going into a competition like that, as opposed to on the PGA tour you go out there, you're trying to play for yourself?

Speaker 4 It's an individual game, and then you've got the team formats and the Ryder Cup. In terms of preparing and the mental state that you get in going into a round, what's the difference between the two?

Speaker 1 Well, I mean,

Speaker 14 it's kind of the same thing.

Speaker 14 All you can do is go out there and try your best.

Speaker 14 But you're not just playing for yourself at the Ryder Cup. You're playing for your teammates,

Speaker 14 family that are there. You've got, and all the support, the fans that are out there following you and everyone kind of watching back home.

Speaker 14 It's a lot bigger than yourself that week.

Speaker 14 And I think that that shows in the emotion that you see that players have with holding a putt and the responses that the crowd sort of give, like when you hit a shot into the green

Speaker 14 and the cheers that you get.

Speaker 14 You get goosebumps when you're on the first tee.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 14 That's great. It's amazing.

Speaker 4 It's a great competition. Here's a hard question for you.
Which would you rather have accomplished? You win the Ryder Cup,

Speaker 4 England wins the World Cup, or Liverpool wins the FA Cup, the Premier League, and the Champions League in the same season.

Speaker 1 You don't care about the FA Cup, right?

Speaker 14 I mean, they all count.

Speaker 1 But if it's the Triple Crown, then that's nice. Or what is the Caribou Cup or something? Caribou Cup, that's elite.
That's an Elite. Carabelle Cup.
Yeah, that one doesn't matter.

Speaker 14 That one.

Speaker 14 I mean,

Speaker 14 selfishly,

Speaker 14 I would like for Europe to win the Ryder Cup.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. Wow.
So you just made it so that Liverpool is going to have a terrible season. That's on you.

Speaker 14 Well, yeah, I'll take that

Speaker 1 do you get to watch a lot of liverpool games um

Speaker 14 yes and no being over here in the states makes it a lot easier to generally watch the games because you have them on tv right like the saturday kickoff the three o'clock kickoff in the uk um

Speaker 14 they they don't show the games so um being over here in the states is it's always on tv so tea time permitting i'll uh yeah i'll try and try and watch the game Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Um, all right, so I have one last question. It's a roback question: R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com.
Use promo code take. I'm wearing it right now, roback.com.

Speaker 1 Uh, promo code take q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, everything, roback.com. Uh, have, what was the conversation with your fiancé after she banged the port-a-potty?

Speaker 1 So, for people who didn't see,

Speaker 1 you were in your backswing and a port-a-potty door closed, and you were pissed because you're like, what the hell?

Speaker 14 And it was your fiancé so yeah that was uh that was at the italian open um

Speaker 14 yeah there i mean there was there was no there was no one uh no fans really that week um so emily my wife bless her was walking around uh then fiancé um

Speaker 14 and yeah she went went to the uh the portaloo

Speaker 14 and

Speaker 14 As she was coming out, she saw a massive spider on the door.

Speaker 14 So she basically like shit herself and jumped out the way of the door yeah which happened to then slam as i was in your backswing basically at the top of my backswing so um that that's the the the background so you actually you've got some context of why she slammed a toilet door on my

Speaker 1 downswing now you were you're i'm like your reaction you were like what the hell and then how quickly were you like uh-oh no so i was like

Speaker 14 like so i kind of started laughing i looked up and obviously saw her straight away. And yeah, so that's why I

Speaker 1 It's good you saw her. Could you imagine if you had like flipped out and then that would have been uncomfortable at home later that night.

Speaker 4 Tell the determinant like kick that person out.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 14 Well, I mean, she was the only person standing there. So it's not like

Speaker 14 most weeks over here when you've got thousands of people walking around and you kind of

Speaker 14 that sort of noise goes on a lot and it doesn't really affect you too much but when it's

Speaker 14 Yeah, when you've got one person stood on the side of the fairway and they happen to do it on your down swing, you notice it more.

Speaker 4 Did you see the spider? Did you confirm that there was a spider there, or was it no? So she might have just

Speaker 14 been lying, but I, yeah, that's a good lie, though. Yeah, it's a very good lie.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I actually have one last thing. Can you rate my golf swing? Can you just give me any tips or anything?

Speaker 1 I piped this one just no spoilers, but I piped it.

Speaker 1 What do you think? Oh, look at that move. Straight legs.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 14 Okay.

Speaker 14 Why are the straight legs?

Speaker 1 It's just, that's where I get all my power.

Speaker 14 And then you've got anchors on.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 14 What shoes are you wearing?

Speaker 1 Those, I lost my golf shoes, so those were just tennis shoes. Okay.

Speaker 14 Yeah, you look like you're pretty well

Speaker 14 locked in on the ground. Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 You've got to make sure you anchor yourself. I don't know if you know that.
Your dad might not have taught you that.

Speaker 14 Yeah, well, to be fair, when he swings a golf club, he's got his anchors on as well.

Speaker 1 He doesn't move his his feet.

Speaker 1 You think I got something?

Speaker 14 I would suggest that you

Speaker 14 start off all right because you've got your knees bent. Yeah.
And then you go. And then you get in a locked position.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you lock your process. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Listen, I'm not going to criticize your process.

Speaker 14 No, well, maybe you should just keep your knees bent

Speaker 14 and then allow your feet to move as well. That might help you a little bit.

Speaker 1 It makes people very mad when I post those. They get very upset online.

Speaker 1 It was hard to watch. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's a little painful for me, me too.

Speaker 4 I'm not gonna lie. People still like criticize your golf swing?

Speaker 4 Just random people on Twitter, they give you advice out of nowhere.

Speaker 14 I mean, you get the odd message of people saying

Speaker 14 things, but I mean, it's easy when you sat on the sofa, right?

Speaker 4 Yeah, I love doing the thing. You just step up to the ball and you're like, okay, golf Twitter roasts my swing.
And then you just put in slow-mo and you never swing.

Speaker 4 And so they have to watch like a 30-second video of you not swinging.

Speaker 4 Just skip back at them a little bit. Fire back at the losers.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 14 Less time on social media about it, though, I think.

Speaker 1 I'd agree. Probably right.
Unfortunately, it's our job, but I'd agree. Yeah.

Speaker 4 You'll turn it to us. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes. Well, Terrell, thank you so much.
Good luck this week. It was great having you on.
We're rooting for you.

Speaker 4 Not in the Ryder Cup, though.

Speaker 14 Yeah, not in the Ryder Cup. That's fine.

Speaker 1 I'll allow that. We hope you lose.
And I listened. I heard that excuse, like, well, our fans couldn't come.
That was an excuse. That's bulletin board material.

Speaker 14 Take it as you wish. We're going to send

Speaker 4 the entire state of New Jersey going over to Italy. It's going to be like Jersey Shore Season 2.
Yes. And we're going to be in your face.

Speaker 1 All the Italians going home. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, thank you so much. Best of luck rest of the year.
Thank you. Good luck.

Speaker 4 I'll let you call.

Speaker 1 Wait, what is the second one you sent me in the text?

Speaker 4 The most recent two texts that I've sent you.

Speaker 1 Most recent two texts I sent you.

Speaker 1 Wait, the first one and the second one? They're all good.

Speaker 4 Pick one of those.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Buy a boat. Yep, buy a boat.
Good way to waste money. What are the two happiest days of a boat owner's life, the day they buy it, the day they sell it?

Speaker 4 It's always way better to have a friend that has a boat than to actually have a boat yourself. Yeah.

Speaker 1 This is a joke I've heard on the golf course. I would never say it, but I've heard people say it.
The three F's.

Speaker 1 If it fucks, flies, or floats, lease it.

Speaker 4 That's good. I like that.

Speaker 1 I like that. I would never say that joke.

Speaker 4 Another golf course joke. You know what they call a boat? It's just a hole in the water that you throw money into.
Yeah. I've heard that one before.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 We should do golf course jokes, Mount Rush Road golf course jokes. It probably wouldn't work well.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 You guys don't like that pick?

Speaker 5 It's fine. I mean, it's not the most relatable pick, but it's fine.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 what do you mean, relatable?

Speaker 5 I mean, how many people are buying boats?

Speaker 1 It's about about restore wasting money.

Speaker 4 Yeah, a lot of people don't buy a boat because they know it's a waste of money.

Speaker 5 I mean, I wasn't going to say anything. You asked my thought on the pick.

Speaker 1 Fuck you, dude.

Speaker 5 We're going to go with

Speaker 10 not canceling subscriptions you don't use.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. Good one.
Yep. Good one.

Speaker 4 My strategy on this one is I just wait to lose my debit card somewhere, and then I get a new card, and then I have to opt back into all the old subscriptions.

Speaker 1 I have so many fucking mindless subscriptions.

Speaker 10 That adds up.

Speaker 1 It adds up. It adds up.
Okay. Pocket money.

Speaker 1 Max. First one,

Speaker 5 bottle service.

Speaker 1 Okay. Good one.

Speaker 6 Good one.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's always shocking how much bottles cost when somebody else pours out.

Speaker 10 And then they bring out like the sparklers.

Speaker 1 That's what a hank pick?

Speaker 5 Yes, this is a Hank. Hank.
Oh, this was... Hank is very worried.
Why? I mean, he just keeps telling me to cook, telling me to cook, and then he's like, he has to go by.

Speaker 1 He was like, you have to go by this list. You have to go by this list.
Okay.

Speaker 4 Decent pick.

Speaker 5 Next one, college.

Speaker 4 Yep, good pick. We had that on our list, too.

Speaker 1 Good pick.

Speaker 4 Good pick. But wait, Hank went to college and got a degree, and he can do everything.

Speaker 1 How is that relatable to Hank?

Speaker 1 Hank got it. It got his job because he was so good at college.

Speaker 1 Hank's college fucking stopped existing.

Speaker 5 You also forget that this is a two-man team that I I also went to college.

Speaker 1 That's true.

Speaker 4 I went to college. That's true.

Speaker 1 Did you?

Speaker 5 I did. Okay.

Speaker 5 Villanova Olum

Speaker 5 and Haustra attendee.

Speaker 1 What percentage

Speaker 4 of your college classes do you think are relevant to your everyday life? Zero.

Speaker 5 Me, actually, a lot.

Speaker 1 What? Did you do this?

Speaker 5 Documentary filmmaking.

Speaker 1 No, shit. How did we not know that? Holy fuck.

Speaker 5 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 5 I made a documentary. Wait, can we?

Speaker 1 How come what you see this about?

Speaker 5 I did social justice documentaries.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 5 the first one

Speaker 5 was about, I went into jails and talked about people with like

Speaker 1 who had life without parole.

Speaker 5 The second one was about the opioid epidemic.

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

Speaker 4 That was it. So how come it takes so long for the golf videos to come out?

Speaker 5 I mean, I

Speaker 5 spent a year on each of those. I spent my entire junior year on the first one and my entire senior year on the.

Speaker 1 Well, you spent your entire year on the Ryder Cup.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm not doing the Ryder Cup. Oh, yeah, we know you aren't because it hasn't come out yet.

Speaker 1 Right. So that's why we're never going to see it.
Paintball. All right.

Speaker 5 Paintball. Oh, yeah.
Paintball comes out tomorrow.

Speaker 1 Okay. Let's go.
Thank you, memes. Yeah.
And the whole video is out now.

Speaker 5 Yeah. The whole video is out now.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Jake for eating a worm.

Speaker 1 I was very proud of you for that.

Speaker 1 That shocked me.

Speaker 4 Jake, to his credit, was like, you know what? I'm not really helping out with this hole. Yeah.
Shocked Mr. Position

Speaker 4 waist deep inside inside a hole. But he was like, I got to step up the content.
I'll eat a worm.

Speaker 1 And then in very Jake fashion, the next day when we did the Billy Food Challenge, saw a noodle on the ground. He's like, that's grosser than the worm.
Yeah. That's them for that.

Speaker 10 Okay. Our next pick.
This is a Billy entry. I'm firing away with it.

Speaker 10 Going to a strip club.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 4 Well, Billy, especially.

Speaker 1 We know how he deals with strip clubs. He spends his entire paycheck there.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Good picks. PFT, what should we do here? I think we should go with the one.

Speaker 4 Yeah, number 11 on this list here.

Speaker 1 Let's go with 8 and 11. Yeah, yeah.
Okay. So you go first.
So Max is going to claim this isn't relatable, but I think it is very relatable.

Speaker 1 And I want to say that I don't see this as a waste, but it is a waste. Having kids.
is just

Speaker 1 a waste.

Speaker 1 It's a money pit.

Speaker 4 Do you know how much money you have to spend on daycare?

Speaker 1 Dude,

Speaker 1 it's shocking to see how much.

Speaker 1 That's fucking amazing.

Speaker 10 How much do you think you spent on toys in the last five years?

Speaker 1 So, so,

Speaker 1 so much money. And here's the best part.
If you buy a kid a toy, they play with it for about five minutes, then they're like, I'm going to play with your fucking shoes or something that could kill me.

Speaker 1 They're like, oh, you know what's more fun than the paw patrol toy you got me? A pair of fucking scissors. I want to.

Speaker 4 I wonder if I can fit this fork into the electrical.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 10 Kids love remote controls.

Speaker 1 They love everything.

Speaker 10 Everything that you can talk to about.

Speaker 4 It's a toy.

Speaker 1 it's it's without fail they want to play with everything that is not a toy that's why i lock chris in a crate with blake yeah that's where he stays all right what do you think's not relatable no no no i mean kids is relatable too

Speaker 1 way more people have kids than have boats yeah but buying a boat is something everyone knows is a waste of money i don't have a boat

Speaker 1 and i know it's a waste of money yeah

Speaker 4 agreed okay having kids you should actually just adopt your kids when they're 17 years old it's spend way less money

Speaker 4 and then send them off to your college.

Speaker 1 I love my kids. I'm fortunate enough to have money, but it is, if I thought about it, it's shocking.

Speaker 4 And then it's a double because you also get college.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. We got college in that.

Speaker 4 Yep, double pick.

Speaker 1 That's facts. And my daughter's wedding.

Speaker 1 We got that too. Yep.
Yep.

Speaker 10 Yeah, it's like a mega pick.

Speaker 1 It is a mega pick. It's a mega pick.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 4 All right. Our next pick for biggest ways to Waste Money,

Speaker 4 signing James Harden to a contract. Yeah.

Speaker 4 So having James Harden worthy of that.

Speaker 1 I want to see your fat face. No, that was great.

Speaker 1 No, that was a great pick. Thank you, Max.

Speaker 1 Thank you, Max.

Speaker 4 Thank you. Max.

Speaker 1 Max, tell me how much you. I want to see my face.

Speaker 10 Wait, signing Harden to a new contract or any contract?

Speaker 1 Just any contract.

Speaker 4 Just signing James Harden to a contract.

Speaker 1 Signing James Harden to do anything.

Speaker 4 Signing James Harden. Yes.
Max, tell me how good that pick was.

Speaker 5 I mean, it was a great answer. Talk to us.

Speaker 1 I love that pick. Talk to a story.
Tell us how fucking good. Tell me how much you love that pick.
How fucking good that pick was. Huh? You love that.
Would you titty fuck that pick?

Speaker 1 That was a great pick. Thank you.
No.

Speaker 5 Some guy, shout out to the guy on the street today that just said, you were right about titty fucking.

Speaker 1 Didn't even say hello.

Speaker 4 He just walked by me.

Speaker 5 He was like, you were right about titty fucking.

Speaker 4 You could probably titty fuck James Harden.

Speaker 1 Yeah, true.

Speaker 1 All right. Fucked up my mic, Stan.
I don't think I'm recovering.

Speaker 1 Okay, keep going. All right, our pick.
I'm never recovering from this.

Speaker 10 Our pick is actually going to be in a similar category to you guys. We're going to go with with continuing to pay Bobby Benilla through 2035.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 4 It's a big waste of money. This is a Ravel pick, Jake.
It's a Revelle.

Speaker 1 It's a Revelle pick.

Speaker 1 I love the story.

Speaker 1 It's a Revell pick.

Speaker 10 It's a big way to waste money.

Speaker 6 A major league baseball team.

Speaker 4 How much does he get paid, though?

Speaker 8 But actually,

Speaker 1 a couple million a year. So that's not that much.

Speaker 1 It's actually, didn't they figure it out that if you just use that money instead of paying Bobby Benilla to invest with the guy named Bernie Madoff, you'll make way more.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so it was a sound financial decision by the Will Pons.

Speaker 1 I don't know. That cash is a lot more in their pocket.

Speaker 1 The fact that they're still

Speaker 10 2035 is insane.

Speaker 4 Good for Bobby Benilla.

Speaker 1 Yeah, good for him.

Speaker 10 But the Mets are wasting money.

Speaker 1 But it doesn't change for inflation.

Speaker 8 $1.19 million. No, it doesn't change.

Speaker 1 So it actually is a decent deal with no change to inflation. How much was a million dollars when he signed it? I don't know, but it's still a lot.

Speaker 1 A lot more. No, but how much would today look it up?

Speaker 4 Well, there's also no salary con. There's no salary configuration.

Speaker 1 When did he sign it? when did he sign it uh

Speaker 10 when did he sign it every july 1st 2011 to 2035

Speaker 1 2011 was when he signed it

Speaker 10 okay in 2000 the mets agreed to buy out the remaining 5.9 million uh

Speaker 10 and then 1.2 million for 25 years starting july 1st 2011 including negotiating so it would be what if it was with inflation they would have had to pay 1.36 million instead of 1 million

Speaker 10 they're paying him another 12 years.

Speaker 1 I know it's a crazy deal for him. I love that.
Yeah, for him.

Speaker 10 The Mets are wasting money.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 All right, ready? Yeah.

Speaker 5 Next, we're going to go with crypto.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay, good pick.

Speaker 5 A lot of people lost a lot of money with crypto. Next one, you probably aren't going to like, gambling.

Speaker 1 That's not true if you're a bad gambler.

Speaker 1 I mean, how much money

Speaker 5 have you wasted money gambling?

Speaker 1 Nope, because I've made friends along the way, my friend. That's actually a terrible pick.

Speaker 4 No, it's a great question. No, it's actually a terrible pick because I,

Speaker 1 if, yes, you lose money gambling, and I'm very open about the fact that I'm a loser, but I wouldn't trade it because I love it. And if you bet within your means, it doesn't hurt.

Speaker 4 And, Matt, just for the record, you would have said this last week, right? Before the news came out, yep.

Speaker 5 100%.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Good. Interesting.

Speaker 10 Okay. So we had a similar one for our last one.
You guys tell me if you want to veto it. We had tailing Barcelona employees gambling picks.

Speaker 5 That is gambling. That's kind of.

Speaker 1 Well, no, it's not gambling. It's certified losing.
It's kind of technically not gambling.

Speaker 5 You cannot take that.

Speaker 1 Well, it's technically not gambling, is it not?

Speaker 1 Gambling? Gambling is. Gambling is.
There's a chance you can win. If you tail us, there's no chance you can win.
Therefore, you're wasting money.

Speaker 5 Wrong. Nikki Smokes, 70%.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I did.
The fucking Camblers Brulee did win money last year. God damn it.

Speaker 1 I hate that everyone says that.

Speaker 4 Sorry, I got a little tricker.

Speaker 5 Next pick, Jake.

Speaker 1 That was pent up.

Speaker 1 Is that an official veto? Yes.

Speaker 4 It sounds to me like

Speaker 1 Hank. No, Peter's going to be a bit of a single way.
It's a bad pick. This is bullshit.

Speaker 1 This is bullshit. They eat each other's vote.
No, we're letting him set up. I'm calling Hank.
No, no, we just voted. I'm calling Hank.

Speaker 1 You're such a bitch.

Speaker 4 Hank's drunk face down in a sandbar right now.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. Good pick.
Good pick.

Speaker 5 This is ridiculous. Good pick.

Speaker 10 You don't think that's a good pick?

Speaker 1 No, I think it's the same exact pick.

Speaker 5 You literally just said it might be the same thing, gambling after gambling.

Speaker 1 It's a bad pick because

Speaker 5 what is tailing someone's pick?

Speaker 4 The Can't Lose Parlay ended up plus money last year. If we're talking about on this show,

Speaker 4 three and a half field goal bet hit at like 67.

Speaker 1 You look at our Bolarama.

Speaker 4 That's what I just said.

Speaker 1 You look at our Bolarama picks. I think the winner was like 500.
If this stays, the entire sanctity of Russia wars. We'll move.
We'll move. We'll be though.
Don't let him boss you around.

Speaker 1 Max, with Hank at not the earth this is another boss energy gaslight bothering gaslight i'm calling hank i'm calling hank

Speaker 10 okay what's your next pick uh our fifth slash fourth fourth pick will be uh

Speaker 10 ordering too much food

Speaker 4 not really a waste

Speaker 4 you'd rather have too much than too little i eat all my food

Speaker 10 we have experiences here on the show where we think we have bigger stomachs than we do.

Speaker 4 Clean play club.

Speaker 5 Yeah, But sometimes there's a way you could have worded that that would have ordering too many groceries.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's healthy. I had that pick.
It's healthy groceries. Yeah.
Going just literally just, I buy healthy groceries and throw it out.

Speaker 4 I would have said going grocery shopping whilst hungry.

Speaker 1 Yes. That too.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What should we do for our last pick?

Speaker 4 We got a lot of good ones on the board here, Mr. Cat.

Speaker 1 I like 16 and 18.

Speaker 1 This is another order.

Speaker 4 Yeah, let's do 16. Okay.
Which the first first part of 16, 16A or 16B?

Speaker 1 Wait, what do you have? 16A, 16B?

Speaker 4 Well, there's a slash in there. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I think we'd say both, right?

Speaker 4 Hosting the World Cup or the Olympics. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's world events. Yeah.
World events.

Speaker 4 Hosting world events. Hosting a massive world event.
I think Qatar spent like $2 trillion or some bullshit hosting the World Cup. Great job by the Amir.
It went off without hitch.

Speaker 4 But at the end of the day, they're going to have stadiums all around their country that are never going to get used again.

Speaker 1 The Brazilian stadiums, like, they're all empty.

Speaker 4 Have you seen the Chinese stadiums?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's all empty.

Speaker 4 This is the swimming cube. Yes.

Speaker 4 I think wolves live there now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's actually really badass. That's actually the only benefit is you get to watch it like cool.

Speaker 1 This is abandoned porn.

Speaker 4 It looks like a scene from, what was that TV show with the guy and the girl traveling across the country because of the zombies just came out.

Speaker 4 The man and Ron Swanson was a gay guy. Doesn't matter

Speaker 4 that he was gay.

Speaker 4 Last of us. Last of us, yeah.
They look like a scene from The Last of Us when you watch the stadium get over the best.

Speaker 5 okay good mount rush for what do we miss i feel good about our picks uh memes wanted to say only fans

Speaker 1 whoa okay what do you mean

Speaker 4 what's your budget looking like

Speaker 1 what are you wasting on only fans a month i just it's a waste of money porn's free right but that's a fair how would you know it's a waste of money uh you know you see like a trapeze artist on instagram explore and you're like all right what's this all about and then uh she's got her legs over her head and you know she's going to work yeah i'll I'll kind of take the counterpoint to that though, memes.

Speaker 4 At least if you're buying OnlyFans, you're paying the people that are providing you the service.

Speaker 4 You're not giving ad traffic to some random company. Right.

Speaker 1 Hardworking ladies. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I had betting an Iowa football over.

Speaker 1 Could probably do Wisconsin as well, but that's been in the news because there's players, even their own players were betting the under.

Speaker 4 Any warranty. Buying any warranty.
Yep. Warranties are always a crock of shit.

Speaker 10 Insurance and blackjack.

Speaker 4 Yep.

Speaker 1 Same thing. Good one.

Speaker 1 Amazon Impulse Buys. I just do that all the time.
We just see something on Amazon.

Speaker 10 Yeah, but sometimes you end up liking those things, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it's a waste of money.

Speaker 4 I have a taco holder that's shaped like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and I bought two of them.

Speaker 1 That sounds awesome. Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 I had a claw.

Speaker 1 Good point, Max. Thank you, Max.
You're right.

Speaker 4 I'm being a hater.

Speaker 1 Mobile games.

Speaker 5 Yeah. In app purchases, I thought.

Speaker 1 All of the time. Like

Speaker 5 anything, even an extra life on the bottom.

Speaker 10 I can't be getting

Speaker 5 extra the different outfits or whatever.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Yeah.
Shocked. Hank didn't take taxes.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 PFT and I have, this one's maybe more not relatable to anyone but the two of us. Season tickets to a team you don't root for in a city you don't live in.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, for the youngsters. It's for the youngsters.
Yeah, you guys are giving away, like, good people. So it's not a waste.
I don't think we're good people.

Speaker 4 Thank you, Jake. No, Jake's right.
This completely makes up for everything else we've ever done.

Speaker 10 Yeah. Billy submitted cocaine.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 drugs. Actually,

Speaker 1 I don't think that's a waste.

Speaker 10 We had drugs.

Speaker 1 That's why we didn't do it because people enjoy it. Yeah.

Speaker 10 He also had dick growing pills.

Speaker 1 Okay, Billy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, so Billy's got strip clubs, cocaine, and dick growing pills. Also, Real Lamaro special turfy.

Speaker 1 It sounds like one night. It sounds like Billy had a rough night last night.

Speaker 4 What else did we have? We had

Speaker 4 gym memberships.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Taking a submarine trip to go visit the Titanic.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 1 Dogecoin, you guys got NFTs,

Speaker 1 crypto, NFTs, board apes,

Speaker 4 all that shit. Wasting money on secret service agents in the early 60s.

Speaker 4 Might as well just throw your money away.

Speaker 10 Our picks are so specific. Our two teams, and then theirs are so generic.

Speaker 1 I don't know if that's going to hurt or help.

Speaker 10 Hank and Max, they're all one-word answers because that bottle service. And ours are very specific.

Speaker 4 So I wonder how that.

Speaker 1 I think James Harden's that specific. Yeah, I think it's pretty well known.

Speaker 4 Houston's a big city. New York's a big city.
Philadelphia's a big city. We're hitting major markets here.

Speaker 1 Also, we technically have strip clubs with James Harden as well.

Speaker 4 That's true.

Speaker 1 So we've doubled. Didn't think about that.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, great about Rushmore. Let's wrap up with guys on chicks before we do that.
PFT, you got one last ad.

Speaker 6 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boar's Head is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 6 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 6 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, Hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 6 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 6 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's finish up the show. Guys on chicks.
Who's reading?

Speaker 5 Oh, that would be me.

Speaker 4 Max and his boss energy.

Speaker 1 That's not mean.

Speaker 1 Mean.

Speaker 1 What? What? What? You say me?

Speaker 5 I've said mean.

Speaker 1 Oh, it's mean or mean? You have boss enough.

Speaker 4 You're being mean. Why does that mean to say that you have boss energy?

Speaker 1 You do have girl boss energy right now.

Speaker 5 That's fine.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 I guess that's not mean. Whatever.

Speaker 4 No. You're going to get it right up in Vanity Fair soon.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, we ready? Ready to go here?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Hi.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I think we introduced a segment about a minute ago, so probably.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 5 Hi, Big Cat, PFT, Hank, Memes, Jake, and Mr. Second Place.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's you. That would be me.
That's you.

Speaker 5 Yeah, that'd be me. Second place.

Speaker 1 Was that mean?

Speaker 1 No, it's fine. That's fact.

Speaker 5 This dude I work with got super fucked up at a company happy hour and professed his love for me.

Speaker 5 He told me he wanted to marry me, and he always knew from the moment we met.

Speaker 5 How much he does or doesn't remember from that night is constantly changing. How much weight should a female put behind a drunk guy's words?

Speaker 1 Wait. It's constantly changing.
He remembers every single second of this.

Speaker 4 He's been thinking about it non-stop ever since then, like, oh my God, I fucked up.

Speaker 1 Anything that he's pretending is blurry is not blurry. He might not even have been drunk.
The guy was just horny as fuck. And he needed to jerk off.
You should have just told him, ladies,

Speaker 1 if a guy professes his love for you and says that you want to get married, just simply say to him,

Speaker 1 go to the nearest stall and jerk off, you pervert. And they'll come back and they'll be a different person.

Speaker 4 So, so what is this girl's question?

Speaker 5 She's like, Are drunk words actually sober thoughts or no?

Speaker 4 Yeah, this guy's in love with you.

Speaker 1 He is

Speaker 1 desperately in love with you.

Speaker 4 He's in love with you. Anytime a guy talks to you one-on-one at like a company party past midnight, just say no.
Yeah. Just cut him off.

Speaker 1 Shut your mouth.

Speaker 4 Just, yeah, shush him.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 he jerks off to you.

Speaker 1 I'm just being honest.

Speaker 1 It's a problem. Tell him to stop.
Tell him to go in the stall and maybe get him a subscription to OlyFans. Not a waste of money, according to memes, but is.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 5 So I'm a woman, and I'll just cut to the chase.

Speaker 4 That's how most women introduce themselves.

Speaker 4 Definitely not a dude writing this question in.

Speaker 1 Let's just do a social experience.

Speaker 1 Any PMT, any AWL women, sound off in the comments, the YouTube section. I want you guys to announce yourself.
How many girls listen to this show?

Speaker 1 Ready for a shout out? Shout out the girls. Yeah, let the women cook.
I watch a lot of porn. Oh, okay.
Yeah. Definitely a chick.
Definitely a chip. Okay, nice.

Speaker 5 A lot of women freak the fuck out about their men watching porn, but I honestly have never thought about the opposite. Do guys get jealous when their women watch porn?

Speaker 4 Good question, sir. I would say

Speaker 4 no. Probably every guy's like, that's awesome.

Speaker 4 Is it? Depends on what kind, I guess.

Speaker 1 Well, because you're thinking lesbian porn. I am thinking lesbian porn.

Speaker 1 I said my gay side wasn't.

Speaker 1 I think there's dicks in the porn that girls watch. Is there? Do they make

Speaker 1 a dick only? Like, do they make?

Speaker 1 Because the porn is usually the woman is the central figure in the shots and all the angles are the woman. I'm thinking.
Do they make like a

Speaker 1 dick shot porn?

Speaker 4 Like POV of like from the girls POV?

Speaker 1 Yeah, right. I don't know.
Do they? That would be...

Speaker 4 I don't even think that women would like watching that.

Speaker 1 That would blow them, but then what do they watch?

Speaker 4 I hope that they watch porn of men with penises that are smaller than mine.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That would be awesome.
Also, it's very hard to find. Also, women have it a lot easier because, look, a guy uses a fleshlight and he's a pervert.

Speaker 1 A woman uses a vibrator and it's like, that's what all women do. That's that's a double standard.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I don't have a robot that comes into my bedroom and gives me hand jobs all the time.

Speaker 1 We do it the old-fashioned way, so that's fucked up. They don't need porn, they have the vibrator, right?

Speaker 4 Yeah, you guys have a leg up, right?

Speaker 1 Wow, the POV-is that a thing?

Speaker 4 It's just like a guy just sweating and making weird noises and just being like, You're so hot.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'll fix, I'll fix the sink after this.

Speaker 1 I'll take out the trash.

Speaker 4 You're way hotter than your friends, and all your coworkers are bitches.

Speaker 1 Oh, and also, also, yeah,

Speaker 1 your mother-in-law is a fight. I was going to say it.
I say your mother-in-law's a cunt. That's what I was going to say.
We could do that now.

Speaker 4 Wait, but the guy that's boning her, that would be his mom.

Speaker 4 Or she's cheating on the guy

Speaker 1 with

Speaker 4 a guy that has an intimate understanding of her marriage and her in-laws.

Speaker 1 And her in-laws.

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly. Gets really into it.

Speaker 4 Is there stepfather porn? Should we write this? Is there there stepfather porn where it's like from the point of view of the stepdaughter?

Speaker 1 Yeah, we should write this porn.

Speaker 5 Hey, boys, my boyfriend's farting.

Speaker 1 Mr. Positions starring in it.

Speaker 1 Now that's a POV I'd watch because then he's in different positions. He's like, watch, watch me do this.
He's like, oh, it's the mentalist. Like, here I am.
Now I'm not.

Speaker 1 Jake, it's just Jake. You're looking up at Jake and he's fucking and then all of a sudden it's like a flash and he's behind you.

Speaker 4 I want you to think of a position in your head. Now say it out loud.
And as she says it, Jake's the reverse cowgirl.

Speaker 1 How'd you know, Jake? How did I get here? Mr. Positions does it again.

Speaker 5 Hey, boys, my boyfriend farts

Speaker 1 uncontrollably all hours of the day. Very similar to Hank.

Speaker 5 Including at night where I commonly wake up to a gas chamber.

Speaker 5 After hearing the Von Miller interview, I suggested he get a panel to figure out what it is he's eating that's creating all this gas.

Speaker 4 Just everything, just food. Just everything a guy puts in their body makes gas.

Speaker 1 And also, like, he's eating like shit. I know personally, like, if I'm eating like shit, it's a fucking

Speaker 1 weapons of mass destruction.

Speaker 1 It's something that is, you know,

Speaker 1 they have nuclear protocols for what I can produce when I'm eating like shit.

Speaker 4 Does Gas X actually work? I was talking to somebody the other day saying that when they get on a plane, they take Gas X and it works.

Speaker 1 It does.

Speaker 4 I gotta add that to my regimen of Tums.

Speaker 1 Yes, Gas X does work. But yeah, it's

Speaker 1 yeah, he just has to stop eating like a garbage disposal, pretty much.

Speaker 4 Probably not going to happen, though.

Speaker 1 Probably not going to happen, but it is as simple as diet. It's not hard to figure out.
You know, when you've had like a long Sunday, like long weekend of drinking and eating, and it's just that shit.

Speaker 1 You bottle that shit. It is like the most toxic.

Speaker 4 I was in a bad spot on the plane coming back from Ireland because I just had been eating and drinking everything for about, I don't know, 26 hours non-stop, and that plane ride was, that was brutal.

Speaker 4 I should get a medal. I should get a medal for surviving that flight without farting.

Speaker 1 All right, last one.

Speaker 5 Hey, Daddy Cat, PFT, Hank, Jake, Marsh, part of my take podcast, and PFT's squirrely guy, Billy.

Speaker 5 I'm pregnant with twin boys, and my husband won't stop referring to them as Big Cat and PFT. We haven't been able to agree on any names so far.
My question is, do you guys have any name suggestions?

Speaker 5 So we'll stop calling them Big Cat and PFT? No offense. Thank you.

Speaker 4 Big Cat and PFT would be great names for twin babies. Yes.

Speaker 4 Fun fact that I learned the other day. So this is more about dogs giving birth than people.
Did you know that different dogs in the same litter can have different dads? Oh.

Speaker 4 So like brothers and sisters in the same litter can be half siblings. Whoa.

Speaker 4 I thought it was a fake fact when I heard it because it came from the lips of a former member of Pardon My Take who lies about a lot of stuff. Yep.
But I looked it up and it's straight up the truth.
