Speaker 14 On today's pardon, my take, we have maybe the best/slash worst show we've ever done.

Speaker 5 We have our baseball draft.

Speaker 18 We've been teasing it for a while.

Speaker 2 We're going to do a regular show to start.

Speaker 5 So we're going to talk to some NBA free agency, Ricky Fowler, who's back of the week, some more current events.

Speaker 24 And then we have Joey Chestnut getting ready for the 4th of July, the greatest athlete ever created,

Speaker 26 and Mount Rushmore baseball names.

Speaker 5 And then we go to our baseball draft where,

Speaker 29 yeah, it's two hours of dudes just naming names.

Speaker 30 I love this baseball, fantasy baseball league that we've created.

Speaker 14 It's called Dingers Only. It's going to be fucking awesome.
Do we have merch?

Speaker 26 We should have merch.

Speaker 17 Maybe we forgot merch.

Speaker 16 We're going to get merch for the Dingers Only League, but it's going to be an interesting show, it's gonna be a different show.

Speaker 14 I'm excited for everyone to listen to it.

Speaker 35 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 36 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 27 Okay,

Speaker 37 let's go.

Speaker 37 Now in the street, there is violence,

Speaker 37 and then a lot of work to be done.

Speaker 37 No place to hang out or washing,

Speaker 37 and then I can't blame all on the sun. Oh no, we're gonna rock it down to Electric Avenue,

Speaker 37 and then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 37 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Electric.

Speaker 40 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 41 Welcome to part in my take.

Speaker 43 Today is Monday, July 3rd.

Speaker 45 And PFT,

Speaker 46 we should have been NBA players because, holy shit, they're getting paid and it is awesome.

Speaker 36 Yeah, it really is. Like, some of the names that are getting these huge, huge deals, it just, you scratch your head, but then you're like, oh, yeah, they actually have to spend that money.

Speaker 36 I don't want to call Michael Malone a liar when he said that we're running this shit back with Bruce Brown. I think he said at the parade, like, damn right, Bruce is coming back.

Speaker 36 We're running this shit back. Anything you say at a championship parade should be, that's like, that's client-patient confidentiality.
You can't, can't hold that against anybody.

Speaker 36 You're drunk at a parade. You're going to say what you want.
And yeah, good for him. I think he got like 40 million and the Nuggets could only offer him like 8 million a year.

Speaker 36 So they tried to keep a big cat. They tried to keep Bruce Brown.

Speaker 2 I mean, we said this right after they won the title because remember Bruce Brown was the one who said it.

Speaker 14 And we're like, you know when the worst time to negotiate a new deal is like seconds after you win a title with your boys and you're dressed in champagne because Bruce Brown, the night he won a title, said, I want to stay.

Speaker 23 It's a perfect fit, and money is not everything.

Speaker 17 The money will come, so I'm not worried about that right now.

Speaker 52 I don't hold that against him whatsoever because 45 million is a lot more money than 8 million a year.

Speaker 39 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 36 No, he said all the right things, but at the end of the day, when you're looking at 45 million next to 16 million dollars, you'd have to be a fucking moron not to take the 45.

Speaker 36 So congratulations to him.

Speaker 36 The biggest loser in free agency is Jeremy Grant. Jeremy Grant got $150 million to return to the Trailblazers.
Now on paper, you're like, wow, that's a great deal.

Speaker 36 But the contract was the straw that broke the camel's back for Dame. He was like,

Speaker 36 this is what we're doing in free agency. We're re-signing Jeremy Grant.
Yeah, fuck you guys. I'm out.

Speaker 43 And now Dame Lillard is in a, so I said I was going to do it and I did it right away.

Speaker 21 I was like, Dame, no loyalty left in the NBA.

Speaker 24 Like, can't believe he would do this.

Speaker 54 People reacted accordingly, very upset at me.

Speaker 42 But the interesting thing with Dame right now is he wants to go to the Heat, and the Heat don't have the best offer.

Speaker 23 And now you have like Blazers and Heat fans arguing online where Heat fans can basically be like, well, no, we want him and he's going to be ours.

Speaker 14 And there's nothing you can do about it.

Speaker 31 And the Blazers being like, wait, we can't can't get any free agents no matter what so we have to get like a ton of draft picks and uh that will just be a showdown for the next month it feels like who like can the blazers actually get a good deal or do they just have to be like the the the theory that the blazers should treat dame correctly so that they could get future free agents is the dumbest theory in the world they're not going to get future free agents they should get whatever they can get because as good as dame was for them he's the best blazer of all time incredibly loyal uh seems like a great dude.

Speaker 44 You can't just be like, oh, because you were a great dude, we'll just take Tyler Hero and call it even.

Speaker 36 Yeah, those are my favorite people online, the ones who were like, well, why would anybody ever sign with Portland after watching what they're going to do to Dame if they don't send him to the place that he wants?

Speaker 36 That's a good point. It's a great point.
And we'll foul that away in the future when they don't get good free agents. It's because of how they treated Dame.

Speaker 36 And it has nothing to do with the franchise, nothing to do with the fact that people don't want to play in Portland. It's just straight up how they're going to treat Dame.

Speaker 36 They really have no leverage. Like, Dame doesn't really have any leverage in this situation.
He's just saying, I would like to play for the Heat. Can we just make that happen?

Speaker 36 And I guess, like, if he has, he has done a lot for that organization. And so they might just try to do him a solid and be like, okay, here we go.

Speaker 36 But like, if you're a GM, your job is not to treat players that have requested trades away from you as good as possible. Your job is to try to win basketball games in the future.

Speaker 36 And if that's going to be to the Heat, whatever, maybe they'll trade him. Yeah, Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe they'll trade them somewhere else. And then maybe it's a three-way trade.

Speaker 14 And not only that, we're not, it's not even shitting on Portland because I think outside of like four or five franchises in the NBA, there's not a lot of franchises that are like destinations for free agents.

Speaker 5 That's just how the league works.

Speaker 24 It's not like there's a lot of cities in the NBA that guys aren't being like lining up to go to.

Speaker 67 I mean, I fell for it when I thought LeBron and D.

Speaker 2 Wade were going to go to Chicago.

Speaker 69 It's like, well, that was fucking stupid.

Speaker 16 But yeah, the Blazers should do whatever is best for them.

Speaker 14 I have another biggest loser for you, PFT.

Speaker 31 It's Kyrie Irving haters because Kyrie Irving, who has played sparingly for the better half of like, what, three or four years going now,

Speaker 32 got paid three years, $127 million

Speaker 2 to stay with the Mavericks. I don't think they were bidding against anyone except Luka Donchitz's happiness.

Speaker 23 Like, I think it was just, we have to sign him because we traded for him and we have to do it now.

Speaker 14 Otherwise, we're not going to get another star and Luca might leave.

Speaker 24 So the Kyrie Irving haters probably have to eat one here because he got a lot of money for not playing a lot the last few years.

Speaker 36 And I think Kyrie's leverage was that he was going to take a visit. to Phoenix.
He like wanted to drive to Phoenix.

Speaker 72 He played for $2 million.

Speaker 36 Yeah, he wanted to get on an RV and go to a sweat lodge or have some peyote or something like that, go on a vision quest out in Phoenix.

Speaker 36 And that was enough to make Mark Cuban sweat and be like, we can't have him leave the state. We got to keep him locked down.
So yeah, he got paid a shitload of money.

Speaker 36 Fred Van Vliet, good for Fred Van Vliet.

Speaker 73 Houston doing something.

Speaker 36 Houston did a lot of things in free agency, and they did the most with Van Vliet. I forget how much money they're paying him.

Speaker 36 It was about 200 million

Speaker 36 somewhere in that vicinity.

Speaker 47 Three for 128.

Speaker 75 Three for 128.

Speaker 39 He's a culture setter.

Speaker 45 They're paying for the culture.

Speaker 36 They're paying for the culture. So he's getting like super max money, but not just the, he's not getting five years.
He's going to have another bite of the apple soon.

Speaker 36 But good for him i don't really understand it because they just drafted a point guard uh that is presumably yeah so he's gonna be it's like paying culture 123 million for you donnis haslam if he was actually good so like yeah no it's it's an adult you're you're basically getting an adult in the room to be like hey this guy actually knows how to be a pro we have a very young talented team uh we'll pay him a lot of money to hopefully you know some of that young championship calorie won a title in toronto rub off on everyone.

Speaker 22 I like that.

Speaker 36 Yeah, he's, yeah, just a role model.

Speaker 36 They bought a role model in free agency for, was it Amon Thompson?

Speaker 36 So he's going to, yeah, I mean, it's a good fit, especially if you look at like Van Vliet and the money that he was making in Toronto. I don't know what state income tax is in Canada.

Speaker 36 Probably pretty high.

Speaker 36 He is going to be rich as fuck in Houston. So good for him.

Speaker 54 Yeah, these deals are awesome.

Speaker 24 They obviously,

Speaker 14 the meme goes around where, you know, they have like Chris Middleton signed for three years $102 million, and Michael Jordan made like $93 million in his career, which it actually, if you take out the last two years of the Bulls, Michael Jordan in the other like 14 years of his career, made $30 million.

Speaker 64 So I love those memes.

Speaker 79 I actually think we should go one further.

Speaker 23 I think Tyrese Halberton and Lomello both signed Supermaxes.

Speaker 14 So it was five years up to $260 million.

Speaker 42 So you're going to get paid like $50 million a year.

Speaker 32 Dan Marino's career earnings was $51.5 million.

Speaker 2 John Elways was $45 million.

Speaker 14 Now, it's obviously different sport, different era, everything, but I think just for memes, memes, you're on this right now.

Speaker 74 We need to just find like Babe Ruth's career earnings and be like, look at this.

Speaker 5 Karis Lavert is making like 16 times what Babe Ruth made his entire career.

Speaker 16 Yeah. Just for the retweets.

Speaker 36 Yeah, I like that. Or like compare them to like people in the military or teachers.

Speaker 36 Like the average teacher makes $37,000 a year, but Karis Lavert is going to be set, his grandkids, grandkids are going to be set for life.

Speaker 16 It's basically whenever someone does a tweet like 35 years ago, Die Hard came out in theaters.

Speaker 76 Wow.

Speaker 2 Yeah, time. Yes,

Speaker 32 time keeps going.

Speaker 79 Money keeps going up.

Speaker 14 Time goes differently.

Speaker 32 It's just a bunch of those memes back and forth about how much money these guys are making.

Speaker 56 It is cool. They are making so much money.

Speaker 17 It's good for them.

Speaker 74 And I love it.

Speaker 2 And it is awesome to see like some of these contracts come down.

Speaker 84 You're just like, holy fuck, this guy's getting what?

Speaker 85 And fuck it.

Speaker 1 I mean, who Dante DiVincenzo just got, what, four years, 50 million for the Knicks?

Speaker 27 Like, why not?

Speaker 31 Why not?

Speaker 14 I think the moment that I realized that to be upset about any of this is so stupid was when Tony Snell a few years ago got paid like $44 million dollars over like three years or four years to be with the bucks and it was like cool it you can't you can't get mad about that what are you going to do like demand that the milwaukee bucks sign a bunch of teachers and firefighters no you you just got to get your game up like we should have been basketball players just going back to the beginning we should have like if if if anything this is a lesson to everyone out there listening like get your game up uh don't be a podcaster like us be an nba player like them yeah people who are like how come how come the nfl players don't get this much money unless you're like a quarterback?

Speaker 36 Well, because there's more points in basketball, so you get paid by the points. It's pretty simple math, guys.

Speaker 23 And punt, pass, and kick is very expensive on the bottom line for NFL franchises.

Speaker 73 It is.

Speaker 74 Putting that on has to be a headache.

Speaker 36 Yeah. But yeah, shout out to all the players that just got rich as fuck today.
That's

Speaker 36 good for them.

Speaker 2 We also should mention James Harden.

Speaker 74 I think this is...

Speaker 61 Three trade requests in four years.

Speaker 1 So he opted in with the Sixers, which actually is a good move for the Sixers because they can get something for him.

Speaker 89 I think James Harden did it because he's like, I don't like anyone who has salary cap money is probably not going to be good.

Speaker 26 So I'd rather opt in and then trade and be able to play for a team that's good.

Speaker 26 He wants to go to the Clippers, which would be the funniest place for him to go.

Speaker 26 I can't imagine.

Speaker 24 Like if they added Kyrie, that would be the perfect all like least dependable team.

Speaker 26 Maybe Ben Simmons as well.

Speaker 82 Oh, weirdos.

Speaker 39 Kyrie, Paul George.

Speaker 50 But I think we said that.

Speaker 24 I don't know if we were, I think we were off air when we were talking about it, PFT, but like the Clippers have become like the greatest

Speaker 2 legacy changing thing for Paul George.

Speaker 32 He's becoming, if James Harden goes to the Clippers, Paul George is easily like the most likable and most dependable player they have.

Speaker 36 Yeah, yeah, because

Speaker 36 they would have Westbrook. They would have,

Speaker 36 then in this case, James Hardy.

Speaker 75 Who is dependable?

Speaker 39 Who is dependable, but not maybe not likable.

Speaker 36 Is dependable. You know exactly what you're getting.
I think he's getting like $3 million a year for the Clippers. Like, he's getting paid nothing.

Speaker 36 And then, obviously, you've got Kawhi, who I don't think, is Kawhi a basketball player?

Speaker 66 Sometimes. Sometimes.

Speaker 72 And he's still playing. He's not unlikable.

Speaker 31 He's just not dependable.

Speaker 36 Just weirdos. They've just got a bunch of weirdos on the Clippers, which is, that's exactly how I like my Clippers.

Speaker 36 I don't like my Clippers to be feisty and to be like the team that has expectations on them.

Speaker 36 The Clippers should always be just very, very strange basketball players grouped into almost like you put a bunch of different animals inside a mason jar and you make them get along.

Speaker 61 Well, it's also perfect because they're opening up a new arena.

Speaker 26 So they're like, well, we need guys to be able to sell seats in this new arena.

Speaker 93 And that's essentially what they're doing.

Speaker 26 They're just collecting as many guys as they can.

Speaker 44 It doesn't make sense basketball-wise, but they're like, look at all the names we have.

Speaker 26 Come buy season tickets.

Speaker 27 Yeah. I like that strategy.

Speaker 36 It's a good strategy for them. Who else? Who are the other big winners?

Speaker 75 Oh, Draymond, Lakers.

Speaker 73 The Warriors.

Speaker 36 Shout out to Lakers. The Lakers keeping their young guys together.

Speaker 15 Yeah, Rui, Austin Reeves.

Speaker 2 They got Gabe Vinson as well.

Speaker 16 I actually think the Lakers

Speaker 14 have a pretty damn good team.

Speaker 43 It is funny how we immediately forget about the team that just won the title.

Speaker 26 Everyone's like, look at, you know, Eric Gordon went to the Suns.

Speaker 17 Suns are filling out their roster.

Speaker 44 And look at the Lakers.

Speaker 2 Like, well, yeah, the Nuggets are still the best team.

Speaker 49 Let's pump the brakes until

Speaker 79 we start playing ball and we see that they're like drastically different, which I don't think they will be.

Speaker 15 But yeah, the Lakers,

Speaker 17 I'm trying to think.

Speaker 32 Oh, yeah, the Warriors getting Draymond Green.

Speaker 79 I like that just because Draymond Green being in a different uniform would have sucked.

Speaker 26 Like, if he was on the Mavericks, it would have sucked.

Speaker 36 It's going to be weird, though. How long was his contract?

Speaker 64 His contract's four years, 100 mil.

Speaker 36 Yeah, so the last two years of that contract, he's not going to be good at all.

Speaker 40 But,

Speaker 96 I mean, I feel like

Speaker 95 he's not good offensively already.

Speaker 26 Like, he's just going to keep doing, like, being Draymond Green and making it all work defensively.

Speaker 2 And they're like, I like teams, even though if it makes no sense, they're like, we're going to keep it all together.

Speaker 17 We're going to try to eke out one more.

Speaker 14 And what's the worst that happens?

Speaker 26 Like, all of them age poorly, and we have like a sick, you know, like retirement night, all of them together.

Speaker 79 I think there's not really many other options.

Speaker 36 I think it's going to be cool to have Draymond around once Chris Paul starts getting a little too chippy, once he tries to take

Speaker 36 too much of that leadership role. Yeah, it's going to be someone's getting a hit in the face, someone's getting a hit in the dick.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so

Speaker 79 Max or Hank,

Speaker 95 because you guys kind of share teams,

Speaker 2 James Harden, do you want him to stay on the Sixers?

Speaker 2 I think he's going to start the season on the Sixers.

Speaker 87 I think it's going to be a Kevin Durant kind of situation where he might get traded later in the season, but I don't think anyone's going to offer what Daryl Maury wants wants for this year for the Sixers.

Speaker 24 Thoughts?

Speaker 8 That's exactly what I was going to say.

Speaker 74 I said it first.

Speaker 53 Same, I was going to say that too.

Speaker 50 PFT, were you going to say that?

Speaker 36 Yeah, I was just going to say that James Harden, he might just have to eat his way out of town. That's really the only, that's the last shot that he has left in his bag right now.
Just get fat again.

Speaker 36 Which, by the way,

Speaker 36 that was the funniest trade move of all time. Like, oh, you're not going to trade me? Well, I have it in my power to get fat over the span of two weeks.

Speaker 5 yes yeah morbidly obese yeah and pat bev also on the team which is huge for for our guy roan uh who's a sixers fan having pat bev be on his favorite team and doing a podcast with him but max do you want james harden to play the entire season with the philadelphia 76ers

Speaker 8 from the reports of the guys that we would get back i would rather have james harden like okay i don't that makes sense i don't i don't need i don't need norman powell instead of of James Harden if you're thinking logistically of trying to have a winning basketball team.

Speaker 8 I don't think that it's going to stick. I think eventually Maury's going to get something out of it, but I think it's going to probably be

Speaker 36 by around Christmas time.

Speaker 101 Okay.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I feel like

Speaker 5 it's going to...

Speaker 26 Daryl Maury doesn't feel like a guy who's just going to trade someone just because he wants to be traded.

Speaker 53 I don't like that James Harden wants to leave us.

Speaker 48 Like,

Speaker 53 you would think that if you're a good team that has a chance to win a championship you would want to stay right yeah yeah i mean you guys

Speaker 53 that's not making that's not adding up to me it's a great point i love this city and i just want like i don't i don't understand why someone want to leave it

Speaker 36 do you think do you think he has less faith in the team than you do as a fan i just think getting the opportunity to play with the mvp

Speaker 53 like that's you don't get that opportunity every now every every year so why would you be running literally running from it as fast as you can Hank, don't you want guys that want to be there?

Speaker 101 Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 50 How you feeling, Max?

Speaker 79 Ain't no fun with the

Speaker 39 gun.

Speaker 12 No, no, I agree.

Speaker 8 I mean, I'm happy that I have another Sixers fan in here to, you know, just

Speaker 8 do some discourse on

Speaker 36 my Sixers.

Speaker 12 Okay, what else?

Speaker 72 Derek Rose, he's returning to Memphis.

Speaker 16 That tells me that Jerry Reinsorf has really lost his fastball.

Speaker 79 Not the fact that he can't field competitive teams in both sports that he owns, but the fact that he wasn't like, let's just bring Derek Rose back just to fill the United Center.

Speaker 57 Because that felt like that was going to be the move. But yeah,

Speaker 55 I like him. Oh, and we forgot.

Speaker 32 Dylan Brooks.

Speaker 82 Dylan Brooks.

Speaker 55 Yeah, hope you have fun learning Chinese, buddy.

Speaker 93 Turns out four years, $80 million for the Rockets is a little different than

Speaker 32 going abroad.

Speaker 63 I mean, I like that for the the Rockets too.

Speaker 2 You got Fred Van Vleet to basically be the adult in the room and Dylan Brooks to be like the past.

Speaker 39 Yeah.

Speaker 36 Dylan Brooks, there's no chance that he's as bad as we all remember him as being in that last series.

Speaker 38 He's a good defector.

Speaker 36 He's not bad.

Speaker 36 He's just a dumbass.

Speaker 27 And he can

Speaker 73 do dumb things.

Speaker 65 Yeah.

Speaker 36 He's not dumb by his nature. He's not bad at basketball

Speaker 36 as a person, but

Speaker 36 he's just stupid. And so he can fix stupid sometimes.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 32 And you also, every single team needs one like irrationally confident, stupid guy who thinks that they can stop LeBron in a seven-game series.

Speaker 50 That's not a bad thing to happen.

Speaker 32 Like you want one of those guys.

Speaker 2 You don't want a whole team of those guys, but you need one of those guys who thinks they're the best player in the world and can

Speaker 2 go toe-to-toe with people for a game or two.

Speaker 36 Yeah, the big John Thompson quote.

Speaker 36 You can win a chip with two of those guys. If you have five of them, they'll get you fired.

Speaker 22 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 106 Exactly.

Speaker 87 Okay, any other NBA stuff?

Speaker 31 It was fun. Free agency.

Speaker 39 Fun time.

Speaker 27 Contracts everywhere.

Speaker 36 I grade free agency overall. I give it a B-min this year.

Speaker 31 Well, it's, you know what it is?

Speaker 93 It's like, I was thinking about it because I was like, God damn it, I wish the NBA did free agency.

Speaker 79 not on a holiday weekend when like, you know,

Speaker 79 there's a lot of sports all year round and like this is the one stretch we can just bank on, being like, not a lot going on.

Speaker 24 But it's actually smart for them because there's nothing going on, and the NBA can just have free agency for a couple of days, and everyone can freak out and then forget about who got signed until like Christmas Day.

Speaker 36 Yeah, I just, I wish that Kyrie had gone somewhere else. That would have turned this from a B-minus into like an A-minus because that would have added a little extra drama to it.

Speaker 36 There were too many guys re-signing with their own teams for my liking.

Speaker 36 I like the this league drama that goes along with it. I don't care that Kyle Kyle Kuzma is coming back for 100 mil.

Speaker 85 Yeah,

Speaker 44 this league.

Speaker 66 Big time this league.

Speaker 44 Okay, other news, Ricky Fowler's back.

Speaker 75 Big time.

Speaker 100 No one watched it.

Speaker 26 People watched it on their phone.

Speaker 17 CBS, I do not understand what happened.

Speaker 69 They basically, they had a weather, inclement weather coming in Detroit.

Speaker 17 So the Rocket Mortgage tournament, they started everyone at like 8 in the morning.

Speaker 2 And the covers didn't begin till 3 o'clock.

Speaker 50 So everyone had to just, like, I I don't know about you guys, but I just scrambled.

Speaker 2 I was watching, I watched a couple things on ESPN Plus.

Speaker 43 And then I was like, wait, is it on NBC?

Speaker 66 Because it was on the golf channel.

Speaker 26 And then finally, I figured out it was on CBS Sports app for like the last like three holes of the tournament and then the overtime.

Speaker 69 Just a complete disaster of live rights.

Speaker 74 I don't understand how it happens.

Speaker 36 Well, it happened because it was in the script that Max Homo was going to get a hole in one. And we still don't really have video evidence of it because we didn't see it on a big screen.

Speaker 36 We only saw it on a phone it was grainy footage that was uploaded so we don't know jake i don't know if you have any comment on that it looked like max faked his hole in one today

Speaker 108 yeah i mean you saw him celebrate very uh calm celebration he acted like he was there before but i guess you didn't see the ball go in the hole so i guess it's an open case yeah Yeah, but yeah, he's he said he hasn't seen either of his hole in ones on tour.

Speaker 36 It's it's good to have Ricky back. Ricky's been awesome for like the last month.

Speaker 59 He's just like the, he's the most likable guy you can't root against ricky fowler it it also i didn't realize like the full story that he rehired his swing coach i think um is how like he basically someone likened it to like getting back with the next wife and being like sorry i was the one who everything up like it takes a lot of like swallowing pride to rehire your coach and he went through some dark times what was it like uh was it 1600 days or something it was a long long stretch that he hadn't won i I think it was 2019 was the last time he won.

Speaker 42 So, yeah, he's going to be in the Ryder Cup.

Speaker 24 He looked awesome. It was good that he finished one.

Speaker 5 The fact that he finished one, too, with that T-shot on the second time they played 18, I thought he was fucked.

Speaker 21 And yeah,

Speaker 41 Ricky's great for golf.

Speaker 44 Stamped great for golf.

Speaker 36 Yeah, recurring guest a part of my take. People forget that.
Ricky. Yeah, we got to have him back.
We got to have Ricky back on. I can't wait.

Speaker 36 If we win the Ryder Cup, I can't wait for him to remake that picture where everybody's making out with their wives or girlfriends afterwards. Yes.

Speaker 36 And Ricky's just in the middle, just smiling like I don't have a face to kiss right now.

Speaker 36 I need him with Allison Stoke, right? That's his wife.

Speaker 73 Yes.

Speaker 73 Olympian.

Speaker 36 Yeah, full-on, just tongue wrestling.

Speaker 69 Yes, yes.

Speaker 2 And Ricky's got a kid now. That's that.

Speaker 82 Listen, that's a wow, we all age so fast.

Speaker 5 Ricky's got a kid.

Speaker 5 He was a guy with no girlfriend last time we saw him in the Ryder Cup.

Speaker 43 Yeah, that was awesome.

Speaker 5 It was awesome to see Ricky back.

Speaker 59 Congrats to him.

Speaker 2 Any other sports news?

Speaker 75 I don't think so. It's about it.
We have a baseball draft.

Speaker 22 We have a baseball draft.

Speaker 36 We have a baseball draft. I'm very excited about that.
We were drinking Coors Lights because it was on Hank's birthday. So we cracked open some 40s and just said a bunch of dudes' names.

Speaker 36 And at one point, I think Billy had like

Speaker 36 five minutes to make a pick and then it circled back to him and he needed another three minutes to make his pick after that. Yeah.

Speaker 36 But we have been keeping track of the scores in our league over the last month or so since since we did the draft.

Speaker 36 We should say, though, because the original scoring format has changed a little bit. So it was originally going to be dingers only.
So you get one point per home run.

Speaker 36 And then you had one guy and his designated spot was only getting hit by pitches. So that was going to be worth 10 every time he got hit by a pitch.

Speaker 36 We quickly realized that that scoring system makes no sense whatsoever because it's just basically a one-man team where if you have the guy that gets hit by the most pitches, you automatically win the league because they're so overvalued.

Speaker 36 So we made an adjustment on the fly and we reduced it to five points per hit by pitch. Jake was not happy about it, but Hank suggested it.

Speaker 36 We all agreed that it was the right call to make for the spirit of fairness and competition. So Jake thinks that Hank has out to get him and was...

Speaker 36 Jake, I guess I'll let you state your case here, but I think you have to acknowledge that it would be unfair just to have your hit-by-pitch guy be the only player that counts on your roster we should just make hit by pitch one point next year it should dingers only that's the name of the league dingers only

Speaker 75 Jake yeah no it's who whose idea was ten points in the first place

Speaker 108 I just wanted to have a hit by pitch guy on the roster it was just interesting how I was in first place or second place and we changed it after the league had begun.

Speaker 109 That's all I said.

Speaker 36 That is interesting. Yeah, but it was

Speaker 39 everyone gets five points.

Speaker 111 In fantasy football, you don't change.

Speaker 101 No, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 112 Just in fantasy football, you don't change scoring and then after we won.

Speaker 26 Jake's going in and out. I can't tell what's going on with his mic.

Speaker 36 He just doesn't like how we change the rules during the season. I also think that's pretty screwed up.
Just I don't know.

Speaker 57 Billy, you voted in favor of it.

Speaker 113 I didn't. I'm the only one on video who said that.

Speaker 10 Oh, he actually did.

Speaker 75 You're right.

Speaker 19 You're right.

Speaker 32 You're right. Everyone else did.

Speaker 60 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 108 Yeah. The top two, the first and second place at the time were not present for the vote.

Speaker 55 Right, but it doesn't matter because five out of eight voted yes.

Speaker 2 I think we should just, I actually think hit by pitch was a big mistake in general.

Speaker 5 I think it should be the dingers only is what gets me gassed up.

Speaker 114 Just dingers.

Speaker 36 I like having one guy that gets hit by pitch. Ten points is way too much per hit by pitch.
It should be, I think two. Two is the magic number.

Speaker 67 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Okay, so next year we'll do two.

Speaker 67 This year we'll have to deal with five.

Speaker 36 One bit of sports news. Elon Musk, the the country of italy has asked elon musk and uh mark zuckerberg to fight in the coliseum

Speaker 36 that is good sports news that's huge sports news the country of italy

Speaker 36 think about it like imagine they fought in the coliseum and turns out elon musk is actually sick at jiu-jitsu too so this is actually like a good matchup That actually, I mean, that's genius by Italy.

Speaker 16 They were like, oh, the two richest dudes in the world want to fight.

Speaker 5 Wonder what we could charge for this?

Speaker 36 Yeah, yeah also like we got a spot for it a lot of pasta

Speaker 50 elon and musk and mark zuckerberg i want to throw this out there we will host in the new uh

Speaker 69 barstool office in chicago we will host the fight so we'll talk we'll negotiate but we are happy to host the fight and billy you your assignment is to kidnap both of them yeah

Speaker 28 just have them show up

Speaker 100 Okay, let's do who's back, and then we'll get to Joey Chestnut, and then we will do Mount Rushmore baseball.

Speaker 95 Oh, by the way, congratulations to Jake and Billy.

Speaker 62 You guys are back as well on your Mount Rushmores, like kind of making a little charge, making it interesting.

Speaker 47 So we'll find out.

Speaker 112 We're only down by three points.

Speaker 72 That's huge.

Speaker 118 You had thrown in the white towel, back-to-back victory.

Speaker 44 So,

Speaker 79 all right.

Speaker 36 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 36 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 36 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 92 Okay, who's back of the week, Hank?

Speaker 53 Who's back of the week? It was going to be Ricky. It's Colin Kaepernick.

Speaker 75 Oh,

Speaker 53 he did an interview and said he still works out five to six times a week waiting for an NFL call.

Speaker 48 So

Speaker 73 he could be back. Yeah.

Speaker 115 He could be.

Speaker 82 Same, same.

Speaker 36 You work out five to six times a week, Billy?

Speaker 49 We've seen some visuals that would go opposite.

Speaker 36 Yeah, I would not. No, no,

Speaker 36 I work out five to six days a week, like waiting for an NFL call. Maybe Colin Kaepernick should switch to being a wide receiver.

Speaker 36 We can get him matched up one-on-one against Will Compton and see what he's got in that department.

Speaker 104 Ooh, okay, I like it.

Speaker 26 All right, so Colin Kaepernick's back. That will be that Florio just got like a full month's worth of blogs to write.

Speaker 71 That's perfect for him.

Speaker 26 I'm happy for him more than anyone.

Speaker 36 Yeah, no, it's it's that's a gold mine, and also he loves posting those so that he can get mad at his own readership online for being like Florio Wire.

Speaker 48 My favorite

Speaker 12 they call it, yeah.

Speaker 36 Well, the comment section has migrated to Twitter, and so he still gets down in the weeds on that. Um, the, the, uh,

Speaker 36 I don't care about this response to the Colin Kaepernick has started to rival the I don't care about Michael Sam comments that would come out every time Florio would write a Michael Sam article so yeah all the replies for Florio are just going to be like who cares I don't care like people just letting him know like hey I don't care about this so much that I logged on two-factor authentication to tell you and I'm using one of my rate limit tweets to let you know that I don't care about this article.

Speaker 27 Yes. yes.

Speaker 70 Okay, good who's back?

Speaker 86 PFT.

Speaker 36 Great who's back, Hank. My who's back of the week, again, United States soccer, bitch.
We're up 4-0 against Trinidad and Tobago. We were beating two teams at once, two countries at once, 4-0.

Speaker 36 And I think one dude had a hat-trick. So we're back big time.
This is in the Gold Cup. I think that's the tournament that we made up just that we could get another dub.

Speaker 36 It's all the North American teams. Plus, we put Qatar in there too, because they're they're technically North American, I guess, in some way.

Speaker 36 Yeah, looks like we're on the, on the fast track for another gold cup, bitches.

Speaker 73 Yeah. Fuck yes.
Let's go, USA.

Speaker 56 All right, my who's back is the Friday before July 4th news dump because there were a lot of firings.

Speaker 66 We actually had a couple people let go at Barcelona, which sucks, but it was ESPN had like friends of ours, people that, you know, we've, we've had on the show many times.

Speaker 60 That sucked.

Speaker 26 And that was like,

Speaker 2 actually became so big that it was like it wasn't a news dump.

Speaker 30 Like, you thought you could maybe like get it under the rug right before July 4th weekend, but that was a lot of shocking names at ESPN are no longer.

Speaker 53 Andrew Marshall's Twitter was like, was like Woge.

Speaker 73 Yeah, it was crazy.

Speaker 47 Steve Levy, so

Speaker 79 I mean, Jeff Van Gundy,

Speaker 2 Jalen Rose, Todd McShay are good.

Speaker 9 Steve Levy is still there.

Speaker 27 What

Speaker 8 Steve Levy is still there.

Speaker 80 He sent like a tweet that's Wait, sorry, Leroy.

Speaker 22 Did Leroy break that one?

Speaker 36 Steve had like a tweet that was talking about how good it was. Was he talking about other people leaving?

Speaker 111 He Josh Prayed?

Speaker 108 Yeah, because Andrew Marchin quote tweeted, Steve Levy is still fully DSP on.

Speaker 108 He was reacting to his colleagues being let go, but some have misconstrued his tweet, leading to question about his status.

Speaker 38 Wow, PFT, you just

Speaker 79 John Rom dad him.

Speaker 73 No,

Speaker 96 he got me good. Jalen Brown.

Speaker 73 He got me good.

Speaker 82 Oh, Jalen Brown, when's that happening?

Speaker 36 Oh, Hank, has he resigned yet?

Speaker 75 Hank, did he sign yet?

Speaker 101 Okay.

Speaker 27 But yeah, it sucked. Okay.

Speaker 47 Because they sucked. Because Steve Levy said, feel numb, been trying to find the right words.

Speaker 36 Maybe there aren't any. That to me sounded like he was gone.

Speaker 47 Oh, no, I think. He's sad for his friends.

Speaker 44 Yeah, he's sad for his friends.

Speaker 99 Either way, it sucked.

Speaker 26 It's also like a reminder that we work in a, I mean, everyone, everyone's job in America, like they, you know, people get fired every day.

Speaker 32 Everyone's going to get fired eventually. We'll get fired eventually, PFT.

Speaker 22 It will suck.

Speaker 36 It might be cool, though, depending on what we do to get fired. Like, if we get fired for kidnapping Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, that would be awesome.

Speaker 55 I could play a lot of golf if I got fired.

Speaker 36 Imagine how much golf Hank would play.

Speaker 39 Oh, my God.

Speaker 27 Well, Hank would fire us.

Speaker 69 He would keep the job. He'd probably take our salaries.

Speaker 56 Yeah.

Speaker 61 He'd be like, we're just doing some little cleaning up on the books.

Speaker 43 We're going to let these two guys go.

Speaker 82 I'll do their work for them.

Speaker 36 Hank, when you play golf as your job, does that still count as taking some time off to play golf? Like, do you need to play more golf to calm down and relax after playing golf at work?

Speaker 53 I wouldn't know.

Speaker 53 I hope to find that out one day.

Speaker 19 Oh, you're going pro.

Speaker 19 Love it.

Speaker 30 Either way, it sucked a lot.

Speaker 17 And I feel really bad for everyone who got fired.

Speaker 2 Anyone who takes joy in any of them sucks.

Speaker 31 But yeah, it was one of those like Friday news dumps that became so big, it wasn't, it had the opposite effect of a Friday news dump.

Speaker 36 Yeah, the 4th of July news dump is a tried and true tradition in sports. Usually it's the NFL that has like seven suspensions that they hand out at like 4.58 on that Friday night.

Speaker 36 And it's like, I think most of that had already trickled out slowly during the week with the Isaiah Rogers news and all that stuff.

Speaker 36 But yeah, if you need to bury anything, just get it out there that Friday.

Speaker 76 Yeah.

Speaker 42 All right, Jay, Billy, your who's back.

Speaker 36 My who's back is the Coliseum and the Forest Fires. The smoke's back.

Speaker 114 Yeah.

Speaker 74 Fuck that. That sucks.

Speaker 52 You're massive.

Speaker 64 You know what I learned today?

Speaker 95 There's more trees in Canada than there are stars in the Milky Way.

Speaker 36 Is that true? Damn.

Speaker 106 Yeah.

Speaker 73 I went to the museum today.

Speaker 36 Why is Canada hogging all the trees?

Speaker 26 Yeah, it's fucking nuts. It's not very poor.

Speaker 51 What are you looking at me for, Hank?

Speaker 49 There's a shitload of trees in Canada.

Speaker 60 Maybe less now than there were a couple weeks ago

Speaker 16 that seems like an impossible stat I thought so too I was at a fucking museum today I saw some dinosaurs Billy yeah and they all pissed all the water they pissed all the water they didn't see that fact

Speaker 36 that's true I looked it up after the show and that is true yeah who's doing the forest fires Billy uh the Canadians and they won't put them out because also also at the museum I took my kids I had maybe the funniest weirdest interaction I met uh our good friend Stavros' brother he's fucking jacked Is he really?

Speaker 115 Yeah.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 15 So like, he was like, hey, what's up, big cat?

Speaker 26 And I was like, hey, what's up?

Speaker 59 And he's like, I'm Stav's brother.

Speaker 67 I was like, fuck, dude.

Speaker 39 That's awesome.

Speaker 36 Which museum were you at?

Speaker 74 Whatever, the natural history museum.

Speaker 73 Oh, the Natural History Museum? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 36 That's personally my favorite museum. Just wanted to put that out there.

Speaker 2 It is a cool museum.

Speaker 32 I went to the butterfly exhibit, and I was like...

Speaker 78 Deathly afraid because I thought my son was going to just stomp on a bunch of butterflies and they had like butterfly police there that were like, don't touch the the butterflies, even though the butterflies are trying to touch us.

Speaker 36 The butterfly museums and the butterfly sanctuaries are the best place to go when you're hungover. It's the most relaxing stroll of your life.

Speaker 95 It also just makes anytime you're looking at insects in a glass case, I just think of

Speaker 78 silence of the lamps.

Speaker 36 Yeah, well, this is fucked up because I went to the Chicago Zoo on Friday, checked out some of the animals. They've got this glass case.

Speaker 36 It's basically a closet that's filled with Madagascar hissing cockroaches. And there's like tens of thousands of them in this closet.
It's the most fucked up room in the world.

Speaker 36 Junior's like funny on Most Dangerous Game, they served me a plate full of Madagascan hissing cockroaches, and I thought I was actually going to have to eat them.

Speaker 36 And then right before I picked one up and was about to bite its head off, the bug guy came out of nowhere. I was like, no, you're not actually supposed to eat those.
And then

Speaker 36 I just had to eat up blended up mealworms.

Speaker 73 Okay. Eat the bugs.

Speaker 36 Eat the bugs, Billy. Do as you're told.
Wear your mask.

Speaker 36 It's fires outside, Billy.

Speaker 12 You lib. Yeah.

Speaker 28 All right, Jake, you're who's back.

Speaker 108 Yeah, my who's back. PFC hinted at it, but complaining about Twitter, Elon dropped a new rule saying

Speaker 108 if you're unverified, you can only read up to 600 tweets a day. But if you're a proud blue check mark holder like me, you can read up to 6,000.

Speaker 108 And I personally have not noticed a difference because I love having my blue check mark, and this is just another perk of that.

Speaker 28 Okay, so the real who's back is just you bragging about it.

Speaker 112 No, people were really pissed off about it.

Speaker 27 I loved it.

Speaker 93 I loved it.

Speaker 32 Anytime Elon can make like all of Twitter collectively be like, I'm quitting, follow me on Blue Sky.

Speaker 26 I think it's the funniest shit ever.

Speaker 36 Yeah,

Speaker 36 it was so funny because I think what happened was there was something that got fucked up with the back end of the system, and then he's like, Well, no, that's just my new feature where you're not allowed to read all the tweets.

Speaker 36 And then all the advertisers are like, Wait, if you're limiting access to viewing tweets, doesn't that mean that you're not going to sell enough?

Speaker 36 We're not going to have our ads shown to people because those are limited too. And then Elon was like, oh, fuck, yeah, that's right.
I guess I just better make half the timeline ads now.

Speaker 36 So now it's like every two posts, I'm seeing,

Speaker 36 what's his name? Tommy Chong. Tommy Chong and like his wife tell me to buy CBD.

Speaker 38 Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 94 Tommy Chong.

Speaker 36 Everywhere on Twitter right now.

Speaker 17 It's that one in the All Quiet on the Western Front for like a month and a half.

Speaker 39 Yep.

Speaker 26 Seeing that movie.

Speaker 65 I actually muted.

Speaker 36 My first block, I blocked Kate Hudson on Twitter because I got sick of seeing that Empires game that she was always advertising.

Speaker 57 Yeah. Oh, that game rocks.

Speaker 36 Maybe the least horny thing I've ever done in my life.

Speaker 50 All right, let's do we're going to do Joey Chestnut.

Speaker 93 Then we're going to do Mount Rushmore baseball names.

Speaker 24 And then the baseball draft, which I'm very excited for everyone to listen to.

Speaker 124 The pro football football show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 124 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 124 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 69 Okay, we now welcome on one of our favorite recurring guests.

Speaker 114 It is Joey Chestnut, who I have called the greatest athlete in our time.

Speaker 44 I've said it every 4th of July, I think for like the last decade, that we are lucky enough to be alive when Joey Chestnut is competing.

Speaker 16 Uh, Joey, thank you for joining the show. Let's just get right to it.

Speaker 14 How are we feeling

Speaker 44 a day before your big day?

Speaker 30 Like July 4th is now Joey Chestnut's Day.

Speaker 14 How are we feeling?

Speaker 109 Feeling great, way better than last year, no cash. And I uh,

Speaker 109 dude, I'm happy and hungry.

Speaker 36 Good. That's what I like to hear.
What's the number that we're going for this year? What is success we've got for you?

Speaker 109 That record of 76, it could go down. Uh, the weather's looking a little bit iffy.
There's They're calling for thunderstorms. And it's been a long time since we've had rain.
So I don't know what

Speaker 109 yeah, the hot dogs, when they get cold, they're hard to eat. So I'm really hoping that there's no rain.
But

Speaker 109 if it's good conditions, I see a record.

Speaker 75 Now, what does what does rain do?

Speaker 3 Because we've had you on a few times.

Speaker 2 And obviously, one of the times we talked about the time I competed, which was seven years ago, and you famously told me, famously to me,

Speaker 21 that the the buns are looking fast today and i was like how the fuck like what how what does a fast bun look like so what happens if it rains is that like is this like uh tim wakefield's knuckleball like he needs the perfect weather what happens to the buns if there's moisture in the air yeah so if they're fast buns uh

Speaker 109 means they're not stale if okay some of the buns sometimes the buns are they just get stale fast i don't know why but uh if they're stale then they're not going to absorb the water quickly but uh if

Speaker 109 there's a storm, if they're raining on the hot dogs, then the buns are going to be already kind of wet. So those buns might be faster.

Speaker 109 But if the hot dogs get cold and then they get rubbery, the cold dogs are not.

Speaker 109 And

Speaker 109 it's not ideal.

Speaker 36 So if you could design like a perfect morning of weather for the hot dog eating contest in order to like have optimal eating conditions, what would that be?

Speaker 109 A little overcast, 82 degrees.

Speaker 109 Make Make sure the sun's not beating down. It's drying out the buns, but also warm enough that you're sweating.

Speaker 109 Sometimes it's hard to get your heart beating to eat.

Speaker 75 So

Speaker 109 we need a little bit of heat so you're sweating and loose.

Speaker 36 So what are we doing this week to train for the competition? Like, what is the final two days before a big contest like this look like for you?

Speaker 109 Yeah, so I got a little bit of

Speaker 109 a little salad for dinner, protein supplement. Tomorrow's going to be a big cleanse.

Speaker 109 I might feed a little bit of

Speaker 109 some

Speaker 109 overeat the eggs or something tomorrow. But really, it's going to be a liquid diet and go in Tuesday.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 109 Yeah,

Speaker 109 I'll go in completely empty daily contest.

Speaker 61 So,

Speaker 57 who is the competitor right now that you have your eye on?

Speaker 56 Or is it just you?

Speaker 26 Are you just competing against yourself at this point because you're so much better than everyone else?

Speaker 109 No, no,

Speaker 109 I'll never disrespect my competitors. These guys, this is Jeff Besper, awesome eater out of Boston, and he's actually beaten me a bunch.

Speaker 109 And for some reason, he hasn't been able to put uh put together a good performance in hot dogs, but uh

Speaker 109 he's gonna see then one of these days he's gonna surprise a lot of people, and I gotta make sure that I'm not surprised and uh I'm not gonna be lazy.

Speaker 109 And I'm gonna, this, this guy really can't eat 66, 67 hot dogs, but uh

Speaker 109 he just hasn't put it together yet.

Speaker 79 What's the number?

Speaker 16 You said 76 is a record, but what's the number that, like, you know, we'll never see a human being throw 110 miles an hour.

Speaker 71 Like, it probably just won't ever be able to happen.

Speaker 32 What's the peak for hot dogs where you're like, all right, this is the number that if I hit, I'm pretty confident no human can ever touch this?

Speaker 109 No, I can't think of it that way.

Speaker 109 As soon as I say my absolute limit is 85,

Speaker 109 and then somebody will come out and do 86, and then I've already mentally blocked myself. I'll never be able able to beat that guy.

Speaker 38 So

Speaker 109 right now,

Speaker 109 I could do 86 if somebody came out here and did 85.

Speaker 47 So I'm not going to limit myself.

Speaker 109 And

Speaker 109 I'm sure one of these days, some stud is going to come out and just push me.

Speaker 4 This is why you're the greatest.

Speaker 93 This is why you're the greatest, because that was a trick question, and you didn't fall for the trick.

Speaker 2 There is no limit.

Speaker 73 It's like you have no mile.

Speaker 36 They said the four-minute mile wasn't possible to run until Roger Bannister ran it. And now it's like, okay, they just redefined what possible was.

Speaker 109 Yeah, this is this hunger is a feeling, bold is a feeling. I'm ignoring those feelings.
I'm just going to push it.

Speaker 36 I love it. Okay.
So, yeah, so you're shooting for a record tomorrow. I hope that you get it.
I mean, everyone's going to be rooting for you.

Speaker 36 Somehow, you've managed to be both dominant and also universally beloved. Have you ever thought about that?

Speaker 36 Like, most people, there's some fatigue that goes along with sustained bouts of success, and you've just dominated the sport of competitive eating, but people still love you oh i i uh there's definitely people who want to see me fail and it and i uh

Speaker 109 it is what it is it i i've been really lucky that fourth of july i uh i get a lot of support and not necessarily a pressure but support and people are pushing me to to be my best and and i'm i'm out there pulling pulling they should put you on on not rush more that's how american that's how american joey chestnut is but i'm being serious joey like i know you're a humble guy, and I appreciate that.

Speaker 26 But when I think of the greatest athletes of all time, it's like Michael Jordan, Secretariat, Tiger Woods, Joey Chestnut.

Speaker 57 I think that'd be my rush one right there.

Speaker 4 Like, is that so crazy?

Speaker 93 Do you like, do you scoff at me putting you in the conversation with those guys?

Speaker 57 Because I truly believe it in my heart of hearts.

Speaker 32 Your dominance on July 4th is so incredible and such a joy to watch.

Speaker 30 That's how I feel.

Speaker 127 Thank you, dude.

Speaker 109 There'll be a lot of people who argue with you. But right now, I have to agree with you because I'm pushing hard.

Speaker 109 I'm not going to let anything stop me.

Speaker 36 You look like you're in great shape right now. You look like you've been working out.
Guns looking nice and swole. You look a little bit jacked up, Joey.

Speaker 112 I've been trying to work out.

Speaker 109 Well, last year, I was so fat and soft and because I had the leg injury and multiple infections.

Speaker 109 So this year I've been working out and I put a lot of work into making sure that I can keep doing this in the future.

Speaker 36 So how are we testing the limits of what's possible in terms of eating hot dogs?

Speaker 36 Like, you've been so dominant for so long that you have to be looking for like these tiny little edges, like saber metrics almost, like, trying to find out a way that you can get better that other people haven't thought of yet.

Speaker 36 So, what's been like the latest development in terms of your training regimen or what you're focusing on to get those extra couple dogs down?

Speaker 109 Yeah, I've been

Speaker 109 experimenting with a couple little things with my dunking liquid.

Speaker 109 Traditionally, it's

Speaker 109 just warm water. So I've added a couple of little little things that maybe help

Speaker 109 digestion a little bit.

Speaker 40 But

Speaker 109 this year I also experimented with being a little bit amidectrous because in the past for so long I've been

Speaker 109 doing all my feeding with my left hand. So I couldn't quite perfect it.
I wanted to be able to do dunking with both hands.

Speaker 109 And I'm going to figure that out eventually. That'll cut some time off.
But this year,

Speaker 109 feel really, I think my health right now is the biggest deal.

Speaker 64 So, what, like, in terms of your career, where are you?

Speaker 19 Uh,

Speaker 32 like, the longevity, how long do you think you can do this for?

Speaker 32 Because I, you still shock me, but like, is this something that in 10 years we're going to have you on pardon my take, God willing, and we're going to be having the same conversation.

Speaker 79 We're going to be like, Joey Chestnut, you know, 20 years in a row.

Speaker 92 I hope that happens, but have you, is there any part of you that's seeing the end in sight?

Speaker 109 In in sight no it's okay the 40 years a little unrealistic but i i'm looking

Speaker 20 Oh, my God.

Speaker 109 Yeah. There've been some times where,

Speaker 109 like, I'm in a practice in practice, and I'm like five minutes in, and I'm more than 50 hot dogs in. Like, whoa, this is a little bit scary.
I think I might hit my limit before 10 minutes. So it's,

Speaker 109 there's times where it's like things are just clicking perfectly, and

Speaker 109 my breathing and everything working together. And I just, it just, it's just, it's almost not magic, but it's just, it feels good.

Speaker 56 I love it. There's the zone.

Speaker 49 So you said 76.

Speaker 2 Knowing what you're doing right now, we're taping this Sunday night.

Speaker 87 Do you think 77, you got 77 in you on Tuesday?

Speaker 18 We want people to tune in, being like, Something special is going to happen.

Speaker 18 Can you, I'm not going to make you guarantee anything, but are you thinking that you are in a spot where 77 isn't accomplished?

Speaker 38 Like it's doable. It's doable.

Speaker 109 But there's things out of my control. There could be silly protesters.
There could be a thunderstorm. But

Speaker 109 if

Speaker 109 I'm feeling as good as I have last two weeks,

Speaker 109 I can do it.

Speaker 55 So, okay.

Speaker 36 What are we looking for at like minute number eight? Where do you need to be for everybody that we're going to be watching at home being like, Joey said he could get 77 today?

Speaker 36 What's a good benchmark, like minute number eight, that you're within striking distance?

Speaker 109 Yeah, minute eight,

Speaker 109 definitely that. I like that 50 hot dogs in five minutes

Speaker 109 is really right there.

Speaker 109 Minute eight,

Speaker 109 it depends. Sometimes my last minute, I'm doing six minutes, six.
Sometimes I'm doing seven.

Speaker 109 That's 60. If I'm at 65,

Speaker 109 it's almost guaranteed that I'm going to hit it.

Speaker 10 63, it's getting closer. Yeah.

Speaker 89 Okay. Okay.

Speaker 55 I like that.

Speaker 17 And I guess last, last question.

Speaker 27 The night before, are you able to sleep or are you just like a nervous wreck?

Speaker 42 Like, what time do you go to bed before you get up to eat 70 plus hot dogs?

Speaker 109 I try to get to bed at like nine. And I wake up at five.

Speaker 109 drink my last like little water chug and count my gulps, make sure I'm in special dude. But uh, yeah, I sleep well.

Speaker 10 I'm a fat boy, yeah, I love it, I love it.

Speaker 57 Well, Joey, uh, we love you, man.

Speaker 32 We're rooting for you on 4th of July. It's one of my favorite things.

Speaker 57 I will tweet it out again when you, you know, I'm not going to say that you're going to win, but when you go out and put your best effort, that I was lucky enough to see Joey Chestnut in his prime.

Speaker 17 So, uh, thank you, as always, and best of luck on 4th of July.

Speaker 109 Oh, thank you, guys. Great to be on with you again.

Speaker 9 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 9 Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 9 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout one also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake maple glazed donut and blueberry cobbler find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com okay before we do our baseball draft we're gonna do mount rushmore mount rushmore of baseball names geez it just occurred to me we're gonna do about two and a half hours of just saying names of baseball players no that's great that's awesome the dinger only league We should make some shirts.

Speaker 83 Dinger only. Dingers only.
Yes. Dingers only.

Speaker 62 So baseball names, it's going to be player names.

Speaker 73 It's going to be the rules are you can do nicknames, but it has to be what the announcer called them.

Speaker 1 So perfect example, Chipper Jones would count because it's his real name is Larry, but the announcers called him Chipper Jones.

Speaker 43 So that would be a good example of a baseball name, a baseball nickname

Speaker 56 that counts.

Speaker 83 Everyone gets it? Everyone on board?

Speaker 68 Everyone like it? Easy enough.

Speaker 73 Yeah.

Speaker 62 Hank, he's staring off into the abyss.

Speaker 36 Well, wait till you hear our next pick.

Speaker 67 Oh, I can't wait.

Speaker 55 Pete Lecoq.

Speaker 53 I feel like if no one knows these people, like it's no, I like our strategy.

Speaker 39 I like our strategy. But I'm cool.
For the graphics, it's Lecoq.

Speaker 73 I'm sorry you don't know Sylvia.

Speaker 113 It wasn't that long ago.

Speaker 82 What position did he play, PFT?

Speaker 36 He was a utility.

Speaker 99 He was lefty, lefty.

Speaker 36 First base. I take your Pete LeClock.

Speaker 75 It's not your turn.

Speaker 39 You're not even close to being up right now. Snake Billy Snake.

Speaker 101 Fuck.

Speaker 36 All right. For a second,

Speaker 36 maybe the best player.

Speaker 16 Just a fun little Pete LeCock story.

Speaker 96 The final appearance for Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Gibson.

Speaker 83 Pete Lecoq, grand slam off of him.

Speaker 12 Wow. Who could forget?

Speaker 83 Yeah.

Speaker 106 Pete Lecoq.

Speaker 68 I mean, you can't not laugh about that.

Speaker 4 By the way, Pansy's righty.

Speaker 95 He was a first baseman.

Speaker 67 Yeah.

Speaker 89 We know our Pete LeCock.

Speaker 39 Lefty, Lefty.

Speaker 50 You can't not laugh when I say Pete Lecoq.

Speaker 53 It's funny.

Speaker 36 All right. Easy second pick for us.
Maybe the best player on this list. Yogi Berra.
Great. Fuck.
Great name. Absolutely fantastic.

Speaker 10 Do you guys not know who that is?

Speaker 30 I was, fuck.

Speaker 36 I'm going to be honest.

Speaker 36 I was thinking Yogi Berra before he said Rusty. Oh, wow.
Then you get credit for it. Yeah.
Nah.

Speaker 119 That's in my bet. It was in my head.
Okay, Billy.

Speaker 119 No, we're not in. We're not in.
We're not in.

Speaker 39 Trying to get him to go.

Speaker 31 Great picks, PFT.

Speaker 39 Yeah. I feel bad.

Speaker 10 Max just gave me the word.

Speaker 57 Pete Lecoq and Yogi Berra.

Speaker 101 I'll run both.

Speaker 53 You got to get the video of the look that Max just gave me because it was

Speaker 22 dire.

Speaker 53 He was just like.

Speaker 39 Yeah, because he knows Pete Lecoq just fucking slams.

Speaker 53 All right, well, then I'm just going to go with my heart. I'm going to go with the guy I love the most.
You said, you know, name a story if you got him. Came to the Red Sox in the trade deadline.

Speaker 53 Used to jump through the ceiling, make unbelievable plays, shortstop, second baseman, Pokey Reese.

Speaker 75 Good name.

Speaker 48 Okay, good night. Great name.

Speaker 53 Great, great fielder. Great, great vibes guy.
2004 world champion. Near and dear to my heart.
Nick Terraney also randomly is a huge Poke Reese fan, which

Speaker 53 we've truly bonded over. Like, because he came in and was like, wearing, I I was like, are you wearing a Poke Reese fucking jersey? He was like, yep.

Speaker 48 And I was like,

Speaker 53 you're a man after my heart. Yeah.

Speaker 137 Pokey.

Speaker 53 Pokey Reese.

Speaker 99 Good pick.

Speaker 133 Probably not great for the graphic, but good for my heart.

Speaker 87 Hey, guys, what position did Russie Cunts play?

Speaker 39 No idea, but the graphic's all about it. Interesting.

Speaker 122 I don't give a flaw.

Speaker 53 Sell out. Sad.

Speaker 80 Sad.

Speaker 50 Yeah. You have two picks.

Speaker 36 Yeah, so first pick, take your Pete Lecoq and raise you with a Johnny Dick shot.

Speaker 119 Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 22 When did he play?

Speaker 97 Don't give a fuck. Okay.

Speaker 101 Okay.

Speaker 39 So where's the baseball trip?

Speaker 75 How did you get him, Billy?

Speaker 39 Where'd you get his name?

Speaker 12 Yeah, we looked.

Speaker 82 Yeah, we did search.

Speaker 36 You let Bleacher Report pick your team. Yeah.

Speaker 41 I could have, all the teams, all the names we're picking, we knew off the top of our head.

Speaker 39 That's fine.

Speaker 12 I don't hate this strategy.

Speaker 73 I think demographic, people will.

Speaker 39 That's all that matters.

Speaker 95 You should just say, team

Speaker 10 Bleacher Report.

Speaker 8 Do we want to start over and do Mount Rushmore, baseball players you watched in your lives?

Speaker 10 You got to just salty that we got your first name.

Speaker 10 Everyone knows about Lecoq.

Speaker 80 No, we never know about that.

Speaker 10 Of course.

Speaker 39 Everyone knows Lecoq.

Speaker 17 Everyone knows Lecoq.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 8 All right, fine. Fine.

Speaker 36 You don't want us to go with you.

Speaker 10 No, no, go with whatever you want. No, no.

Speaker 89 Go with whatever you want.

Speaker 8 Is that okay with you guys?

Speaker 10 Whoa, Jason. Is that okay?

Speaker 80 Yeah, I like it.

Speaker 10 Is that okay? I like it.

Speaker 31 All you had to do was say cunts.

Speaker 83 Mookie Betts.

Speaker 36 Okay. I'd say that's a better name than Pokey Reese.
Yeah.

Speaker 48 Great name.

Speaker 53 Great name for a a dog.

Speaker 8 Active player. Everyone knows who he is.

Speaker 55 Great pick. Great pick.

Speaker 101 Thank you.

Speaker 67 It's contentious.

Speaker 10 There you go. I like it.

Speaker 48 I like it.

Speaker 53 I'm also, again,

Speaker 53 Max is out, not passing the ball today.

Speaker 39 Oil Cam Boyd.

Speaker 39 Did they call him Oil Cam Boyd when he was the announcers?

Speaker 22 I feel like they did.

Speaker 53 They did when he was at the Brockton Rocks.

Speaker 36 I think they did. I think if you go to the Baseball Hall of Fame, you see Oil Cam Boyd.

Speaker 101 Okay, if that counts.

Speaker 53 I mean, I have other ones if not, but that one.

Speaker 119 Oh, that one counts.

Speaker 53 He played the Brockton's, like, a town. His name was Dennis.
Yeah, there's no way they called him Dennis.

Speaker 48 No, you're right.

Speaker 122 I never heard Dennis Boyd, so you're right.

Speaker 83 You're absolutely right. Good pick.

Speaker 122 Good pick.

Speaker 53 But he played, he did like the

Speaker 53 single A, maybe not even

Speaker 53 International League.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 53 And he pitched when he was like 60 in Massachusetts for the Brock to Rocks.

Speaker 14 Okay, PFT, we got a lot we can go from.

Speaker 36 Yeah, we've got some

Speaker 36 down towards the end of the list, the last guy still remaining.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Yeah, I like 15, 17, and I also am a fan of six.

Speaker 73 So

Speaker 134 you go with your gut.

Speaker 67 There's a lot of good names.

Speaker 36 I think I numbered my list differently than you numbered. Oh, shit.

Speaker 113 Did I not send you the numbers? Let me send it to me.

Speaker 67 Fuck. Wow.

Speaker 82 Okay. Yeah, that was bad.

Speaker 39 I thought I did.

Speaker 36 No, it's fine. I've got a numbered list too, but I think it's different from what Big Cat is doing.

Speaker 16 We just have a slightly different numbered list.

Speaker 36 Jake and I have a really awesome shared dock. Here.
Because we're on the same page.

Speaker 2 no we feel good about ours no you don't i was thinking

Speaker 14 15 17 and 6.

Speaker 67 Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 101 Okay.

Speaker 31 Last pick for us.

Speaker 83 We're going to go with a Minnesota twin.

Speaker 14 One of my favorite names out there.

Speaker 121 Boof Bonzer.

Speaker 1 Boof Bonzer, pitcher. I love saying his name.
I remember him playing.

Speaker 2 Don't you worry, Jake.

Speaker 90 Don't get your fucking picture. I'm not a kid.

Speaker 39 Ricky were the ones that came at us.

Speaker 17 Boof Bonzer, our last pick.

Speaker 12 Go ahead, Hank.

Speaker 36 Or Max.

Speaker 53 Our last pick, where's my list? Oh,

Speaker 53 we'll go with a cinematic one. Okay.
Moonlight Graham.

Speaker 101 Okay.

Speaker 82 What's your favorite Moonlight Graham highlight?

Speaker 53 So-and-so highlights. Probably Field of Dreams.

Speaker 36 Okay.

Speaker 36 Was he really?

Speaker 53 Moonlight Graham. That was the whole premise of Field of Dreams.

Speaker 36 Shoot List Joe Jackson.

Speaker 53 No, Moonlight Graham was the guy that

Speaker 53 was the pitcher, the ghost.

Speaker 10 Oh, okay.

Speaker 101 Remember?

Speaker 89 Yeah, sure.

Speaker 82 Moonlight Graham.

Speaker 36 It's been a while since I saw that one. Is that Angels in the Outfield?

Speaker 53 No, that's a great movie, though.

Speaker 36 There are a lot of great baseball movies, aren't there?

Speaker 80 So many.

Speaker 8 More than any other sport, in my opinion. Depth-wise.
Yeah.

Speaker 82 How many big leagues? How many games do you think Moonlight Graham played?

Speaker 53 I think in the movie, Moonlight Graham, like he played one game and then he died.

Speaker 10 He played one game.

Speaker 53 He played one game and then he died heroically.

Speaker 119 No, he didn't die.

Speaker 1 He lived for like 60 more years.

Speaker 53 Something happened that he was like the hero of that movie.

Speaker 122 He had to like, he maybe went to war.

Speaker 73 Yeah, he was the doctor.

Speaker 82 Can we have it in the graphic?

Speaker 36 One game played? Which war? The Civil War? He was born in the game.

Speaker 94 I don't know.

Speaker 10 Moonlight Graham is a real person.

Speaker 10 Let's not worry about my nose.

Speaker 94 Everyone knows who Moonlight Graham is.

Speaker 43 There's no way they introduced him as Moonlight Graham when playing one game.

Speaker 82 Which one did they fight on?

Speaker 94 He's in the movie.

Speaker 65 He's Moonlame. Yes.

Speaker 50 He's an

Speaker 53 major motion picture as Moonlight Graham. The announcer is the actor.

Speaker 75 Because

Speaker 1 they're picking the guy from the movie.

Speaker 122 Yeah, but he's a real guy.

Speaker 116 Based off of a player who played in the major leagues, Moonlight Graham was one great pick in Europe.

Speaker 79 Moonlight Graham would pay fucking shuttlecock up.

Speaker 83 Did anybody see the movie?

Speaker 36 With the chimp and Joey Tribiani, and the chimp was playing baseball?

Speaker 106 Yeah, and yeah, yeah.

Speaker 122 Okay, what's your last pick?

Speaker 36 Big spitball guy. He was a cheater.
I hope you're okay with that.

Speaker 8 I didn't know that.

Speaker 36 Oh, yeah, that's what he was known for. He lubed that ball up.

Speaker 16 All right, good draft. What did we miss?

Speaker 12 There's a shitload that we missed.

Speaker 36 There are some great names out there. Dizzy Dean.

Speaker 67 Tug McGraw is a great one.

Speaker 3 Mysterious Walker.

Speaker 74 There's great names.

Speaker 36 There's a football player that's going to be probably playing college football next year for University of North Texas. His name is Mo, M-O-H.

Speaker 36 Last name, Billy.

Speaker 10 Moody.

Speaker 53 I mean, Dice K is a great name. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 36 Especially for a pitcher. Oil slick McGee.

Speaker 62 1915 to 1916.

Speaker 1 1916 for Max's Philadelphia Phillies, Bud Weiser.

Speaker 19 Oh.

Speaker 36 That's his name. He's woke.

Speaker 8 But we love Coors Light.

Speaker 119 We do love Coors Light.

Speaker 83 Razor Shines.

Speaker 39 Dick Pole.

Speaker 41 These are some chicken hawks.

Speaker 36 Some of the old names. That's not a real name.

Speaker 113 Cannonball Titcum.

Speaker 39 Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 106 I remember old CT.

Speaker 113 Cannonball Titcum.

Speaker 42 What a fucking name.

Speaker 1 Peekaboo Veech.

Speaker 113 Yeah, baseball's gone for a long, long time. All right.

Speaker 83 Good Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 122 Do you guys have any? Good job, everyone.

Speaker 2 Great job, Jake, even though you got very upset.

Speaker 119 Thanks.

Speaker 75 Rusty Kuntz. Yeah.
Very upset.

Speaker 68 Just say it. Just say Rusty Kuntz.

Speaker 8 I got upset with you, you guys.

Speaker 28 Say Rusty Cunts. No.

Speaker 83 All right, so everyone vote.

Speaker 39 Remember, you're voting for Rusty Koontz. There it is.

Speaker 8 Hank, gaslighting.

Speaker 43 No, it's not gaslighting. Say the name that you want people to vote for.

Speaker 119 Tyre Alfredo.

Speaker 10 Well, I'm just saying this competition.

Speaker 8 That doesn't matter.

Speaker 48 Tyre Alfredo, you just made that.

Speaker 10 That's a great idea for you in the studio.

Speaker 55 I've been making them up the whole time.

Speaker 36 Jake, I'm just curious why people would vote for Rusty Koontz. Why is that a fun name? Right.

Speaker 8 Because it sounds like an inappropriate word that you guys have been saying.

Speaker 36 It doesn't really sound like one.

Speaker 12 You're being a real cunt about this.

Speaker 39 Okay, fine.

Speaker 80 Just say.

Speaker 8 No, if I say it now, I definitely cave.

Speaker 39 I have to say, I'll hold my ground.

Speaker 103 Hey, everyone, just remember you're voting for Rusty Koontz.

Speaker 83 Maybe do on the

Speaker 75 maybe have it K-O-N-O-O-O.

Speaker 39 No, that's O-O.

Speaker 83 Desanctimonious. N-T-S.

Speaker 12 It's desanctimonious.

Speaker 99 All right.

Speaker 1 Okay, time for the baseball draft.

Speaker 139 We drove 1,700 miles of old Highway 61, the whole country top to bottom, just to prove one thing. Comfort food can make anywhere home.

Speaker 139 Crave New World makes the classics you grew up with, cleaned up for right now. High protein, no fake stuff, no shortcuts.

Speaker 139 Bison meatloaf, chicken enchiladas, turkey lasagna, the kind of meals that taste like Saturday night, even on a Tuesday. Crave New World.
Find it in Kroger Isles this October.

Speaker 139 The road trip might be over, but dinner's just getting good.

Speaker 55 Okay,

Speaker 79 it is time.

Speaker 2 We promised the AWLs we would be doing a fantasy baseball league this year, and we are ready to do it.

Speaker 100 I'll just say this right now, PFT.

Speaker 19 This could be a true test of who's a real AWL and who's not.

Speaker 18 We have the takeies coming up.

Speaker 4 This could be the worst thing we do.

Speaker 36 Well, it could be, or it could be the best thing that we do, because what we've done is we've snatched fantasy sports back from the nerds. Yes.

Speaker 36 We're taking it to the real jocks that understand how to play ball. And we've changed the rules a little bit.

Speaker 36 It's not complicated. You don't need to bring decimal points into sports.

Speaker 15 We have a

Speaker 105 new league.

Speaker 142 It is everyone on pardon my take.

Speaker 87 Evan and Shane, who work behind the scenes, are co-owning a team.

Speaker 41 Memes is also here.

Speaker 142 So there's eight teams total.

Speaker 6 And the league is called Dingers Only.

Speaker 50 And it's very simple to follow.

Speaker 142 Everyone has, there's 10 rounds.

Speaker 30 Everyone has to pick.

Speaker 64 One position player from each position.

Speaker 2 And then you also get a 10th pick, which I will explain in a second, but the rules are simple: dingers.

Speaker 87 The only stat is dingers.

Speaker 79 If you hit a home run, that's a point.

Speaker 143 That's it.

Speaker 27 That's the whole game.

Speaker 86 Doesn't matter the type of home run.

Speaker 82 Doesn't matter the type of home run.

Speaker 37 There's no pitching.

Speaker 107 There's nothing.

Speaker 2 Dingers only. Dingers.

Speaker 93 It's who has the most dingers at the end of the fantasy baseball league.

Speaker 63 We're playing rotisserie style, so it'll just be all eight teams listed.

Speaker 93 Whoever's got the most dingers is the winner.

Speaker 68 And then the one wrinkle, PFT, would you like to say it?

Speaker 36 Yeah, this is what I'm very excited about. We get one other player, one extra player in a unique position.
So this extra player's, their home runs don't count.

Speaker 36 I'm not counting dingers for this extra player. The only stat that will be counted for the extra slot is hit by pitches.

Speaker 36 So you're going to get one person, and then you're going to just root for them to get beaned because every time they get hit by a pitch, it counts as, what, 10?

Speaker 140 10.

Speaker 36 10 points as opposed to everything else, which is one point. So that's really the wild card.
Yes.

Speaker 36 If you pick a guy that gets beaned, and just honestly rooting for a guy to get hit by a pitch is going to be awesome. Yes.

Speaker 99 And

Speaker 87 so, yeah, if you're listening to this right now, it is July 3rd.

Speaker 82 We are starting the league on July 3rd.

Speaker 8 Nothing else matters prior to this.

Speaker 79 Yeah, we're drafting the league in early June or mid-June.

Speaker 36 If your player, if you draft a player today and they get hurt before July 3rd, you are allowed to switch one player out if there's an injury that happens.

Speaker 95 That doesn't matter if it's before or after.

Speaker 92 There's no ads or drops in the entire league except for the one time injured.

Speaker 95 Okay, so if a guy gets injured, you get one time.

Speaker 4 If you have two guys get injured, you only can replace one of them.

Speaker 36 Shingers only.

Speaker 107 And your team is your team.

Speaker 41 There's no changing.

Speaker 2 There's no picking up players. There's no...
Should we do trades?

Speaker 68 Yeah, we can.

Speaker 4 Yeah, we can have trades.

Speaker 27 Trades are allowed.

Speaker 141 I don't see how anyone would trade.

Speaker 95 But it is the simplest fantasy baseball league that you could possibly follow.

Speaker 16 It's dingers only, parentheses, and one guy who gets hit by pitches.

Speaker 36 Well, if there is a trade, it would be hilarious because you'd only be allowed to trade the same position for another position.

Speaker 36 So I could only trade my shortstop to somebody for another shortstop, and then someone got fleeced.

Speaker 27 Yes, exactly.

Speaker 84 Exactly.

Speaker 125 Well, we have to do trades.

Speaker 53 We're drafting positions.

Speaker 145 Positions.

Speaker 38 It's not outfield.

Speaker 27 Oh, no, Hank.

Speaker 8 Because regular fantasy baseball, I think, is outfield, right?

Speaker 38 Yeah, it's just dingers.

Speaker 36 It'd be the easiest league to track of all time, and Hank's draft strategy strategy is out the window.

Speaker 140 I was just going for dingers.

Speaker 32 Hank told us beforehand, he's like, I've got this.

Speaker 42 I have a system that is going to break this league.

Speaker 53 Yeah, that disregard.

Speaker 2 I mean, it couldn't have been more simple when we were talking about it.

Speaker 82 Well, I thought it was literally just dingers.

Speaker 52 No, everyone's going to have a second baseman.

Speaker 87 Everyone's going to have a third baseman.

Speaker 2 Down the line. It's binary.

Speaker 36 Is it a ding or is it not a dinger?

Speaker 146 Yeah, no ball.

Speaker 36 Yes. I got an old.
Also, we're drinking some 40s of course late while we do it.

Speaker 26 Yes, because it is Hank's birthday.

Speaker 2 That will date when we're drafting.

Speaker 32 This is going to be funny to watch. This is going to suck to watch our, like, if you draft tonight and your guy just goes hot, dingers and none of them count.

Speaker 36 Wasted dingers.

Speaker 75 Nothing worse. Do we count right away?

Speaker 27 No, let's count right.

Speaker 8 Is there a Twitter Twitter account?

Speaker 82 That's just a home run tracker.

Speaker 125 Yeah.

Speaker 8 You have to turn notifications on starting July 3rd.

Speaker 95 Actually, it would be kind of funny if we started counting tomorrow night and we just then on July 3rd we had an updated leaderboard.

Speaker 145 Yeah.

Speaker 68 Do you want to do that?

Speaker 72 Let's do it. Let's do it now.

Speaker 19 Okay.

Speaker 91 So, all right, all right.

Speaker 36 So we're going to count the stats starting tonight.

Speaker 8 Wednesday, June 14th.

Speaker 115 June 14th will be the start of the stats.

Speaker 27 I like it.

Speaker 27 I love it.

Speaker 8 We're going to be rooting and no one else will know.

Speaker 36 Yeah, that's fine. And so it's just strictly based on points.
It's not head-to-head matchups.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so actually this is great because people are July 3rd.

Speaker 32 No one can be invested on game one of the MLB season.

Speaker 2 No one can be invested when it's zeros all around.

Speaker 117 On July 3rd, we're going to reveal the leaderboard.

Speaker 8 So we can't tweet about it or anything the next three weeks.

Speaker 125 No, you can't sing a word.

Speaker 85 Yeah, we can talk in our our group chat.

Speaker 87 Yeah, you can update it and send it to us.

Speaker 126 Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 8 Okay, I'll make this league, this link public where people can't edit. They can just view it.
So I'll update it daily and they can see.

Speaker 57 You mean when we go live on July 3rd, I'll

Speaker 8 tweet out this link that we're going to do.

Speaker 2 You should just tweet out a leaderboard every morning from part of my team.

Speaker 145 Yeah, I'll just singers only league.

Speaker 131 All right, last thing before we start the draft.

Speaker 2 Of course, because we're doing this and we're competing against each other, we have to have a punishment.

Speaker 142 And I think this one will be,

Speaker 40 we've tried to do punishments that will pay off for the AWLs.

Speaker 107 So the bowling one was eye-opening.

Speaker 79 How many people?

Speaker 131 Thank you to everyone who watched it live.

Speaker 15 We obviously have the Mount Rushmore where the losing team is going to have to do the solitary confinement with each other.

Speaker 142 And this one is,

Speaker 27 it's going to take a little logistical work, but I think we can pull it off.

Speaker 87 The loser of this league, we're going to find a college baseball team, most likely Northwestern, in Evanston.

Speaker 131 and the loser of this league has to get six outs against Northwestern.

Speaker 145 Pitching.

Speaker 146 Yeah.

Speaker 3 So they have to pitch six outs.

Speaker 113 And we're going to have a full inning of outs.

Speaker 36 We're going to be in the field a little bit, too.

Speaker 55 Yeah, we're going to have the outfield will be a combination of us.

Speaker 103 So loser has to pitch, and

Speaker 37 second place.

Speaker 143 has to catch.

Speaker 55 Second place has to catch.

Speaker 21 Loser has to pitch.

Speaker 68 And that will be quite something.

Speaker 142 It will be.

Speaker 36 I'm already calling it Max is going to have to catch. He just looks like a catcher, doesn't he?

Speaker 36 He crawled out of the wound just with a chest pad on and shin protectors. Wait, so if there's that like dropped third strike thing,

Speaker 36 we don't have to worry about that.

Speaker 82 Well, will you?

Speaker 36 Yeah, if you're the catcher.

Speaker 131 Well, but do you think anyone's going to strike anyone out?

Speaker 36 Yeah. Billy totally could.
I wouldn't end up hurting myself throwing this ball.

Speaker 27 Oh, no. Better help.

Speaker 80 Yeah.

Speaker 93 You have enough medicine to

Speaker 36 hit yourself up. I'm going to have to get Tommy John if I lose this.

Speaker 53 Probably would struggle finding the plate.

Speaker 75 Yeah. Hit someone.
That's a little ball after that whiffle ball pitch.

Speaker 27 Oh, my God. That's different.

Speaker 36 I thought about that was one of my favorite clips of all time.

Speaker 75 Paul tried to throw a ball.

Speaker 94 I get a hold of the ball seven feet.

Speaker 27 Get a hold of the ball.

Speaker 53 That'll be a good July 4th post.

Speaker 133 It will be, yeah.

Speaker 103 The best part is,

Speaker 36 how come we didn't use that clip for Zach Wilson throws this year?

Speaker 36 That would have been perfect. The best part is, I blame you.

Speaker 46 The best part is with the second place, like, it's, you can't do anything.

Speaker 68 You can't change.

Speaker 31 You can't sit anyone.

Speaker 27 You can't do anything.

Speaker 18 The team is your team.

Speaker 75 No, it's going to be.

Speaker 63 Oh, you could trade.

Speaker 136 Yeah, you can trade. You could trade to get

Speaker 135 that.

Speaker 36 That might be a strategy. Like, if someone's in last in the second, that I don't think you understand the concept of the trade, though, you'd have to trade a position for the same position.

Speaker 78 Do you

Speaker 36 trade for an injured player?

Speaker 87 Okay, so that will hopefully be one of the best videos we ever do.

Speaker 30 Someone trying to get six outs against a college baseball team while the rest of us are in the outfield.

Speaker 85 Okay,

Speaker 50 we also have TJ here.

Speaker 79 TJ, I would like you to do one thing for us.

Speaker 41 After each round, can you just give us a quick

Speaker 142 20-second draft grade?

Speaker 149 Yeah.

Speaker 117 So we can grade as we go.

Speaker 145 I like it.

Speaker 55 And then I think that's it.

Speaker 114 I think that's all the rules.

Speaker 87 The only other thing we had was in the 11th round, so it's a 10-round draft.

Speaker 37 The 11th round,

Speaker 92 we'll all pick one pitcher, which will only be for tiebreakers.

Speaker 33 So if there's a dead tie for last place,

Speaker 27 the tiebreaker will go to

Speaker 44 strikeouts of your pitchers.

Speaker 144 So

Speaker 31 the pitcher has nothing to do with it unless a tiebreaker comes into play.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 55 Draft order. You have a deck of cards?

Speaker 36 I've got a deck of cards, so you want to just do high card?

Speaker 131 Yeah, let's do high card draft. I'd say high card gets to pick

Speaker 150 the draft order.

Speaker 1 We should probably try to go in a circle.

Speaker 91 Yeah.

Speaker 93 Because it will get confusing other ways. We'll go around.

Speaker 146 Yeah.

Speaker 39 Okay.

Speaker 140 All right. Big Cat.

Speaker 36 What's your...

Speaker 151 Yeah, I know.

Speaker 36 You want to just pick a card?

Speaker 85 I got the king.

Speaker 36 That's a good card. Is Ace high or low? Hank, you want me to just reach in? Yep.

Speaker 133 I think Big Cat has high card.

Speaker 128 Hank got an eight.

Speaker 45 Max, this is going to be a bad pocket.

Speaker 3 Jake's episode. Just let it go.

Speaker 36 Jake got a five.

Speaker 145 Give me an ace. Give me an ace.

Speaker 27 Fuck. I got a jack.

Speaker 27 Max. This is higher, right?

Speaker 20 Yeah.

Speaker 36 Six.

Speaker 36 Are we doing it by that's the order? Memes has his own name.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 55 we're going to go in

Speaker 55 team.

Speaker 36 Memes.

Speaker 53 How would you guys rank the suits?

Speaker 26 Nine.

Speaker 36 And what happens if someone else is? Spade's best. This is the best.
This is Spade's best card there is.

Speaker 79 So someone else.

Speaker 36 This is me. I got a four.

Speaker 32 All right, so Max, you were were right.

Speaker 16 What's two, three, four?

Speaker 104 Fuck, I don't want to go first.

Speaker 36 Matt, you got to do Shane and Evan. Oh, you got to do Shane and Shane and Evan.

Speaker 8 Shane, Evan.

Speaker 36 If he gets Ace of Spades.

Speaker 53 You got to turn your mic up. Oh,

Speaker 75 I didn't.

Speaker 40 Oh, P-Spades!

Speaker 80 Oh!

Speaker 92 All right, so Matt, or Shane and Evan,

Speaker 2 you guys get to decide where you want to go in the draft order, and then we'll just go in a circle around that.

Speaker 53 And I'll say this about Shane. Shane's the newest guy on the team, and every time I'm walking walking by his desk, he's got multiple games up.

Speaker 53 Oh, he's a horrible. Yeah, he's a sneaky

Speaker 36 team head.

Speaker 4 And Evan does our YouTube stuff.

Speaker 95 He's great,

Speaker 32 except for that one time he had it up late.

Speaker 54 You can blame Evan.

Speaker 8 Some technical difficulties.

Speaker 93 Evan, this is actually the healing process is to get roasted.

Speaker 2 That's when we feel good. And Shane, if everyone remembers Shane, is fantastic behind-the-scenes guy, created the greatest A of all time on on a t-shirt.
That A.

Speaker 36 He's our Photoshop guy.

Speaker 67 People

Speaker 36 made all the Lamar Jackson Photoshops, which took like two hours apiece. Yes.

Speaker 45 All right, so

Speaker 55 Shane and Evan, what pick do you want? You pick.

Speaker 55 What do you think?

Speaker 75 Three? You're going three? We go three.

Speaker 61 All right, so

Speaker 63 no, that works. That works.

Speaker 8 Too much pressure going first.

Speaker 103 No, that works.

Speaker 4 So, memes, you go first.

Speaker 65 Let's go.

Speaker 45 Max will go second. Shane and Evan will go third.

Speaker 39 Billy fourth.

Speaker 27 Then we'll go around the room. Okay.

Speaker 2 So in a snake draft.

Speaker 31 Damn.

Speaker 92 That way we need to stay in a circle because otherwise we're fucked.

Speaker 45 Don't you agree? Yeah, yeah. Agree?

Speaker 146 Yep.

Speaker 55 There's no way we're going to remember if we do it.

Speaker 67 I'm just picking last.

Speaker 36 Yeah, but then you get two in a row. I get...
I'm. I'm fine.
Okay, all right. So snake.

Speaker 74 Yeah. Snake draft.

Speaker 46 Why are you fucked?

Speaker 119 Because snake draft.

Speaker 82 Everyone's equal.

Speaker 27 Everyone's out to get you.

Speaker 39 That's the whole point of a snake draft.

Speaker 36 I like getting too close together.

Speaker 16 How quickly do you think we're going to get through the draft before we start picking guys who've already been picked?

Speaker 39 I'm on top of this.

Speaker 72 But still, how quickly? Four picks. I was going to say.

Speaker 36 I don't know if my guys are still playing.

Speaker 27 Dark G.

Speaker 121 Teams, let's go.

Speaker 2 Again, the worst thing we've ever done.

Speaker 68 Let's try to do it quickly.

Speaker 4 Let's do quick picks.

Speaker 27 Oh, no.

Speaker 8 Also, say their position.

Speaker 39 I'm going to take Otani.

Speaker 27 Schwarber.

Speaker 80 Oh, wow. Schwarber.

Speaker 68 Otani's DH.

Speaker 73 DH, right?

Speaker 36 It's DH. Max took Schwarber.

Speaker 32 Max took Schwarber, left field.

Speaker 8 Am I running in all the picks or are we writing it on our computers?

Speaker 104 I think you're writing in all the picks.

Speaker 82 All right, then we got to slow it down a little bit.

Speaker 8 Because I'm color coding them.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 87 I think you're writing in all the picks. Okay, hold on.
Hold on.

Speaker 36 Wait, maybe we should make everybody write in their own picks.

Speaker 114 Good pick.

Speaker 117 Good pick.

Speaker 53 I was shocked that he had 46 home runs last year.

Speaker 68 Dude, he's a fucking beast.

Speaker 69 I know.

Speaker 129 That's a lot.

Speaker 143 Oh, position is short.

Speaker 131 Both are good picks.

Speaker 103 Schwarzen left fielder.

Speaker 75 We can help you with this.

Speaker 91 All right.

Speaker 54 Memes and Evan.

Speaker 95 Or, sorry, Shane and Evan.

Speaker 59 We're going to go Matt Olson.

Speaker 95 Okay, first baseman, Atlanta Braves.

Speaker 10 Never heard of him.

Speaker 27 Big fan of the podcast. Is he? I love him.

Speaker 94 He went as big cat.

Speaker 48 I've never heard of him.

Speaker 53 You got to get him on. I mean, like, I've never heard of him because I just stare at him all the time because that's how much I love him.

Speaker 45 Shout out, Matt Olson, AWL.

Speaker 28 Let's get him on the show.

Speaker 32 Can we get him on the show?

Speaker 91 Matt Olson's probably like, who the fuck are Shane and Evan?

Speaker 85 I'm on their team? That's not yellow.

Speaker 63 Tingers only.

Speaker 2 All right, Billy, you're up.

Speaker 36 I'm going either with Huey Jennings. Oh, no.

Speaker 141 Aaron Judge. Here you go.

Speaker 36 You can't say either.

Speaker 27 That was

Speaker 36 Huey Jennings.

Speaker 36 He's been hit the most.

Speaker 36 Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge.
Judge.

Speaker 117 Okay.

Speaker 8 I'll go with the leader at the time of this recording, Pete Alonzo.

Speaker 27 Who's hurt?

Speaker 97 Good pick.

Speaker 145 Nice pick. Pete Alonzo.

Speaker 52 He's out for like five weeks.

Speaker 27 Great. That's a tough start for Jake.

Speaker 36 If I had said Huey Jennings, would you guys have made me have Huey Jennings?

Speaker 141 Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 53 We'd make you have the person you drafted.

Speaker 14 Yes, when you say a name, that's your draft.

Speaker 36 Huey Jennings played in the 50s.

Speaker 60 Okay.

Speaker 36 He's been hit 280 times in his career.

Speaker 55 So you looked up an old?

Speaker 36 I was looking at who's been hit the most.

Speaker 147 And so you were going to pick a guy who's been

Speaker 36 forgot. Craig Biggio.
Okay.

Speaker 27 Hank.

Speaker 53 This is a no-brainer. I'm just going based off the people, the highlights I want to see, the dingers I want to see the most.
Vlad Jr.

Speaker 75 Yeah, Grace Wong.

Speaker 75 Good wong.

Speaker 22 He hits the ball.

Speaker 53 He hits the ball.

Speaker 53 I want to get tagged in those tweets. I want to see the videos.

Speaker 53 Give me all of his dingers.

Speaker 87 I'm going the same way, Hank.

Speaker 79 Former cub.

Speaker 73 I'll go Jorge Soler

Speaker 128 for the Marlins.

Speaker 52 He fucking hits nukes.

Speaker 45 Can't play in the cold, though.

Speaker 84 That's not a problem, Miami.

Speaker 36 Not a problem at all.

Speaker 79 That was the best one in April.

Speaker 26 He would be wearing

Speaker 125 a wetsuit trying to hit dingers.

Speaker 117 Okay.

Speaker 1 PFT, you have two picks.

Speaker 36 I got two picks. Back to back.
I'm going to go, first of all, Jordan Alvarez. Nice.
He's a big mashing boy, too. When he mashes, Paters get get smashed.
Also hurt.

Speaker 94 Fuck. But he's a DH.

Speaker 27 That's okay.

Speaker 91 How hurt is he?

Speaker 8 MRI.

Speaker 75 M-R-I is what I'm doing.

Speaker 122 He didn't dinger the other night.

Speaker 27 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 No, because I wanted to take him too, and then I looked it up earlier, and it was like, oh, yeah. Will the Astros be able to compete without Yordan?

Speaker 132 He might not be back till after the All-Star break.

Speaker 68 This is fucking Adoberto Mondesi all over again.

Speaker 103 That was, you know what, PFT?

Speaker 2 Can I just say that when you picked it, I was pissed I didn't pick him.

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 27 So I also didn't know.

Speaker 36 It was a nice pick. It was a good pick.

Speaker 53 I mean, that home run in the World Series, iconic.

Speaker 125 It was.

Speaker 78 It was.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 113 All right. I'm going.

Speaker 2 That's your DH pick?

Speaker 36 That's my DH pick.

Speaker 36 I'm going to take my hit by pitcher guy.

Speaker 145 Ooh.

Speaker 36 At shortstop, I'm going Josh Smith from the Texas Rangers. Ooh.
This guy loves to get hit by baseballs. He loves it so much.
And I also looked up the list, and he follows me on Twitter.

Speaker 36 So that's basically why I picked him. Josh Smith, I'm going to be rooting so hard for you to get hit.

Speaker 79 Dude, it's 10

Speaker 53 points. It was worth one hit by pitches.
All right, I was wondering if this is like a kicker situation where you want to save it or not.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I know. It's like, is there going to be a run now?

Speaker 128 We don't really know.

Speaker 36 Does his home runs count?

Speaker 140 No.

Speaker 36 No, I'm about to follow Josh Smith right now. He's going to be like, why did PFT just follow him? You'll find out, Josh.
You'll find out in due time, my friend.

Speaker 37 Okay, I am going to.

Speaker 152 Now I'm worried about injured guys.

Speaker 14 How do you search whether guys...

Speaker 85 08-0.

Speaker 36 Oh, wait, Josh Smith's last tweet was thank you to everyone who reached out and sent prayers. I'm doing fine and will hopefully be back on the field.

Speaker 27 Oh, I know. The whole way.

Speaker 27 It was that.

Speaker 36 April 4th. So he's back.

Speaker 67 Oh, okay. He's back.

Speaker 52 He probably got hit by a pitch.

Speaker 73 He's back.

Speaker 10 He's back.

Speaker 27 He's all the way back. Okay.

Speaker 82 Oh, my God. No, he got hit in.

Speaker 122 He got hit in the head with a pitch.

Speaker 140 Oh.

Speaker 36 And was, and everybody thought that he was going to die. All right, this is bad.
This is a bad start to my draft.

Speaker 2 Should we do 20 points for concussion?

Speaker 150 Jeez.

Speaker 150 All right.

Speaker 36 Now I got to root for this guy to keep getting beaned.

Speaker 81 Yeah.

Speaker 45 I'm going to pick because I'm going in front of his.

Speaker 53 I'm hoping he comes back ever.

Speaker 11 Oh, this is fucked up. Yeah.

Speaker 82 I'm going to take Mookie Betts, right fielder.

Speaker 148 Okay.

Speaker 36 Dodgers.

Speaker 145 Good pick.

Speaker 114 Thank you.

Speaker 53 I was going to take him.

Speaker 27 I knew you were.

Speaker 53 But I will go with my third baseman, current Red Sox,

Speaker 53 Red Sox, Raphael Devers, Devers.

Speaker 60 Ice Cream Cones, right?

Speaker 91 Yeah.

Speaker 22 That's a Raffy Big Scoot. Show it from Carabas.

Speaker 32 Raffy Big Scoot. Leave that name.

Speaker 53 He wished me happy birthday today.

Speaker 77 Shout out to him.

Speaker 75 Yeah, no, I text him all the time, so I still love him.

Speaker 53 I felt bad because our last text was him texting me happy birthday. And then he was like, even though you didn't say anything to me this past year.

Speaker 40 Wait.

Speaker 27 Happy birthday.

Speaker 2 You had back-to-back happy birthdays from him?

Speaker 85 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Oh, that's brutal.

Speaker 79 At least he made it, you know.

Speaker 27 That's brutal.

Speaker 53 He made it a joke, but it was like, yeah.

Speaker 82 Well, we talk on Instagram.

Speaker 53 We talk on Instagram DMs.

Speaker 129 That's weird.

Speaker 53 No, it was, you know, reply to a story, be like, yeah.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 65 and the whole house is a gym.

Speaker 153 Yeah, no, I know.

Speaker 26 His living room is a gym.

Speaker 53 So we have talked, but the text, seeing it in the text thread was tough.

Speaker 27 About like a four-bedroom house.

Speaker 150 no

Speaker 36 no no we're fair that way three to fourteen.

Speaker 27 I can't wait to root.

Speaker 61 The whole point of this was to turn on my notifications right when we're done.

Speaker 8 It's all these players. Um, so you can do that for just singular players, maybe on the MLB app.

Speaker 129 I'll look into it.

Speaker 140 Oh, yeah, you might be right.

Speaker 8 Yeah, okay, I'll look into it. I'll let you guys know.
Um, so for hit by pitch, there's I'm looking at the active leaders on baseball reference. Is Huey there?

Speaker 36 I don't think so.

Speaker 150 Who's his name, Billy?

Speaker 36 No, he's like number one all time.

Speaker 27 What's his name?

Speaker 36 Huey Jennings.

Speaker 73 So I was about to pick him.

Speaker 36 I didn't realize that.

Speaker 8 Number one hit by pitch player is 207, and second is 151. So I'm taking Anthony Rizzo at 207.
Okay. I'm going to hit by pitch 207 times.
He's my hit by pitcher. He's good.

Speaker 36 He's good at that.

Speaker 85 Very good. Yeah.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 85 Billy.

Speaker 36 I'm taking Mike Trout.

Speaker 36 Smart.

Speaker 36 Please don't be hurt. Please don't be hurt.

Speaker 38 Oh, man. I should have taken Mike Trout.

Speaker 75 Mike Trout.

Speaker 154 Dude, I'm diesel right now.

Speaker 145 Trout Center.

Speaker 100 Yeah, Billy right now.

Speaker 27 Judge it to

Speaker 27 Billy. Yeah.

Speaker 68 That's solid, Billy.

Speaker 36 Neanderthal ball.

Speaker 36 Oh, man.

Speaker 132 Judge is also hurt, by the way.

Speaker 135 Totally.

Speaker 27 He is.

Speaker 115 What?

Speaker 65 You're a Yankees fan, Billy.

Speaker 132 Unknown timetable on that one.

Speaker 27 Unknown timetable.

Speaker 36 Dude, he was playing when I saw him.

Speaker 129 What was that? Yeah.

Speaker 36 I got pissed about the pitch clock. Like a month ago.
Yeah.

Speaker 50 DJ, we'll do a grade after each two rounds when it comes back.

Speaker 131 All right, who's up?

Speaker 8 Shane and Evan.

Speaker 2 Shane and Evan.

Speaker 132 We're going to go with Adolis Garcia.

Speaker 104 Okay.

Speaker 9 He is outfielder.

Speaker 8 I think he is. On the Rangers.
Yep.

Speaker 8 Right fielder. He's right fielder.
Yep.

Speaker 73 Oh, no.

Speaker 144 I feel like fucking Shane might be.

Speaker 8 Yeah, he knows what he's doing.

Speaker 38 He'd be a wild card.

Speaker 53 He had three MLB games on in the middle of the day. Jesus.

Speaker 8 Wow. Look at all these right fielders in gray right now.

Speaker 81 I mean, that's our position.

Speaker 36 Dude, Aaron Judge's turf toe.

Speaker 75 Oh, no.

Speaker 146 Sucks.

Speaker 81 Why would he?

Speaker 68 This is a great time capsule.

Speaker 36 Apparently, it was when he went through the gate to make that catch.

Speaker 49 Ah, shit.

Speaker 44 That was a sick catch, though.

Speaker 154 It was sick.

Speaker 15 Okay.

Speaker 107 Max.

Speaker 27 I'm going to get my catcher out of the way here.

Speaker 8 Salvador Perez could be hurt.

Speaker 132 I haven't checked.

Speaker 53 Whatever. It's good.

Speaker 73 He's a good player.

Speaker 36 He was on Seam Head Express last year.

Speaker 19 Very good player.

Speaker 15 Okay.

Speaker 36 And then memes to complete the second round i'll go with ronald aquuno okay good one uh tj quick grades hank had the worst pick bladder guerrero's not in the top 60 in home runs this year aside from the injured guys that's a really bad pick

Speaker 53 but have you and he does hit home runs tj yeah he's a tank ass but

Speaker 36 he only has nine home runs this season play for georgia

Speaker 82 oh man

Speaker 36 it's early

Speaker 53 It is early. Not really.

Speaker 27 Not really at all. It's before the fly.
This is running for the

Speaker 27 all-star break.

Speaker 82 He's going to get hot.

Speaker 87 All right, Beeves, you got another one.

Speaker 39 What do you got, memes?

Speaker 75 I'll go with Ozzy Albez. Ooh, okay.

Speaker 39 He's going all Braves.

Speaker 95 I don't hate that strategy.

Speaker 38 Just watch the Braves games.

Speaker 98 Braves never lose.

Speaker 133 I'll see.

Speaker 8 I'm going to go with Bryce.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 143 So.

Speaker 37 Has he been... What position has he been playing this year?

Speaker 92 DH.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 4 Because he was, like, weren't they trying him out of first base, too?

Speaker 11 Nah, yeah, they they talked about it, but he didn't work out.

Speaker 38 He hasn't really played.

Speaker 2 Okay, Shane and Evan.

Speaker 36 We're gonna go with Bo Buchette, shortstop.

Speaker 36 I'm gonna say to watch him swing, too.

Speaker 5 I'm gonna say right now, I'm so lost on like who I is still available.

Speaker 49 What the fuck?

Speaker 82 We're only in the third. Are you looking at the...

Speaker 23 Yeah, I just saw him. I don't know what I'm going to do.

Speaker 36 Bo Buchette, shortstop.

Speaker 38 Okay.

Speaker 27 Great hair.

Speaker 36 Maybe the best hair in MLB right now.

Speaker 125 It's a great name.

Speaker 39 Yeah.

Speaker 53 Great baseball name.

Speaker 152 Great baseball name.

Speaker 60 I was as good as Pete Lecoq.

Speaker 27 All right. Johnny.

Speaker 82 All right, go ahead. Oh, fuck.

Speaker 73 Billy.

Speaker 36 I'm trying to figure out if this guy's injured. Or if he's still alive.

Speaker 104 Yeah.

Speaker 36 It's a player that was born in the 19th century. I'm going with JD Martinez.

Speaker 117 Okay.

Speaker 36 Designated hitter.

Speaker 125 All right. The Dodgers.

Speaker 53 Socks legend. It is weird seeing,

Speaker 53 you know, for maybe some people that listen to this show maybe aren't locked into baseball, but they have the DH in the National League now, and it's weird to see.

Speaker 91 Oh, yeah, I knew that.

Speaker 37 Breaking news.

Speaker 53 No, I'm saying, obviously, we know that, but there's probably people listening that are like

Speaker 53 DH on the Dodgers.

Speaker 153 How does that work?

Speaker 36 Now we're not going to see a pitcher hitter like Shoe Otani. Like, that's pointless.

Speaker 2 Shohei Otani is a pitcher and he does hit.

Speaker 36 I know, but

Speaker 52 he picked the one guy.

Speaker 36 When he pitches, does he hit?

Speaker 40 No.

Speaker 53 I'm going to see people, you know, Dontrell Willis

Speaker 53 was a pitcher that he could rake.

Speaker 111 What's the point of?

Speaker 74 Joe Zambrano

Speaker 85 raked.

Speaker 36 What's the point of knowing how to pitch and knowing how to hit if you can't do it in the same game?

Speaker 79 Linsecum hit, too.

Speaker 46 Yeah, he had

Speaker 82 J.K. Arieda.

Speaker 150 Yeah.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 32 Remember when John Lester hit his one home run?

Speaker 44 That was electric.

Speaker 82 When Bartolo Cologne hit his one home run,

Speaker 84 that was awesome.

Speaker 84 Okay, who's up?

Speaker 126 Barry's on me.

Speaker 153 We talked about it.

Speaker 114 Yeah.

Speaker 8 I'm going to go with Randy or Rosarena, left fielder of Tampa Bay. Okay.
They're like really good.

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 36 I have a future on the rays.

Speaker 53 What are you going to say, Billy?

Speaker 82 Hold on.

Speaker 2 Stupid question. He had a thought.
He had a thought.

Speaker 53 Give it to us. It's not the Devil Rays anymore.

Speaker 36 Does Otani get paid way more because he can do both?

Speaker 1 I don't know what his contract.

Speaker 131 I mean, he's still on his first contract.

Speaker 2 He will get paid a massive, massive amount of money.

Speaker 36 Like, if he can pitch and hit, they should pay him as a pitcher. Two players.

Speaker 2 And he's very good at both.

Speaker 126 Yeah.

Speaker 66 He will get paid a shitload of money.

Speaker 36 Like, he should get way more money.

Speaker 117 He's going to get a lot of money.

Speaker 36 He should get like two contracts worth of money.

Speaker 32 He's going to get a lot of money.

Speaker 104 Okay.

Speaker 114 It's making

Speaker 85 Hank.

Speaker 53 People can call me a fake fan. I don't care.

Speaker 53 Just moved to Chicago. I will be watching a lot more Cubs games.
I'm going to try and get into the Cubs, try and, you know. cheer them on.

Speaker 53 So for that reason and that reason alone, I'm taking Patrick Wisdom.

Speaker 24 Okay, I was going to say that

Speaker 44 there's not a lot going on, but Patrick Wisdom does rake.

Speaker 68 He hits him in bunches.

Speaker 53 Yeah, I mean, you know.

Speaker 8 Oh, you already took a third baseman.

Speaker 27 Oh, oh, no.

Speaker 107 Hey, damn.

Speaker 36 Devers.

Speaker 38 Shit.

Speaker 150 Talk blocked.

Speaker 8 Unless you want to make Wisdom your hit by pitch guy. Or else he's ineligible.

Speaker 120 Nah.

Speaker 8 You're passing?

Speaker 53 Yeah, I'll take. No, Muncie's third base, too.

Speaker 98 Fuck.

Speaker 53 Give me a Cunha Jr.

Speaker 126 Gone.

Speaker 36 Gone, yeah.

Speaker 107 Give me

Speaker 53 Jake Berger. Nope, third base.

Speaker 27 Lindor?

Speaker 8 I think he's available. Okay.

Speaker 53 Sure.

Speaker 8 Yeah, Lindor shortstop.

Speaker 56 Okay,

Speaker 27 I will go

Speaker 75 with

Speaker 93 I'll take Max Muncey, even though he has a hamstring.

Speaker 36 Damn it. I'll take Max Muncey pick.
It's not that bad of a hamstring.

Speaker 8 They're all going to have an injured player.

Speaker 99 I read

Speaker 23 it's not going to go on the ILs. Yeah.

Speaker 145 Okay. Max month.

Speaker 125 All right.

Speaker 36 I'm going to take a player that has not been drafted yet.

Speaker 93 And that do this.

Speaker 36 You know what? I'm going to take Patrick Wisdom.

Speaker 27 Nice.

Speaker 36 Third base.

Speaker 2 I hope he hits so many home runs.

Speaker 36 Yeah, I hope he does too.

Speaker 75 I'm rooting for him.

Speaker 36 And then next, I'm going to go with

Speaker 60 Patrick Wisdom.

Speaker 36 Has Nolan Gorman been picked yet?

Speaker 135 I believe so.

Speaker 36 All right, I got Gorman. Base.

Speaker 145 Second base.

Speaker 36 Second base, filling out the infield.

Speaker 76 Okay.

Speaker 79 Okay, I am going to go with

Speaker 63 center fielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Speaker 28 The stunner of the season so far, Jack Swinsky.

Speaker 8 All right, good pick.

Speaker 36 Yeah. Jack Swinsky.

Speaker 118 He fucking crushes balls.

Speaker 144 Chicago guy.

Speaker 36 Oh, Sawinski.

Speaker 27 Hank, you're up.

Speaker 53 Oh, I thought it was 50. I'm going to go with.

Speaker 115 Shout out to everyone who's listening right now.

Speaker 85 You know what?

Speaker 50 For the AWS.

Speaker 53 I was just thinking, I was like, this is quiet. No one's watching.

Speaker 65 This is brutal. I'm going to get drunk.

Speaker 68 I'm going to drink a beer because, guess what?

Speaker 4 It's July 3rd, and there's no way you have work today.

Speaker 97 So drink along with us as we draft.

Speaker 36 Why the fuck is the baseball Reddit, just R-Baseball, private?

Speaker 27 What the fuck? Oh, Bill.

Speaker 75 They get accepted.

Speaker 2 Oh, it's the fucking...

Speaker 36 They know you're not a seam head.

Speaker 68 Oh, aren't they striking right now?

Speaker 107 Reddit's all fucked up.

Speaker 34 Oh.

Speaker 75 Is Reddit on Strike or something?

Speaker 36 It's like third-party.

Speaker 95 TJ. Quick explanation of what's going on.

Speaker 36 Subreddits are just all locked up and messed up right now.

Speaker 19 Got it.

Speaker 53 By choice or coincidence.

Speaker 2 Billy, were you going to just quickly be like, hey, I'm doing a dingers-only league.

Speaker 3 Everyone drop your favorite dingers.

Speaker 36 Oh, no. I was researching something else.

Speaker 149 Okay.

Speaker 53 I'm going to go with the legend from Brazil.

Speaker 53 Jan Gomes. Nice.

Speaker 75 That's the Berlin Cubs.

Speaker 36 Fun to say Jan too.

Speaker 152 Oh, shit. I'm coming up soon.

Speaker 27 Fuck.

Speaker 8 I'm going to go with

Speaker 8 this guy who's been all over Twitter since he got called up. Ellie De La Cruz on the Reds.

Speaker 8 Everyone's been talking about him.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 140 Nice.

Speaker 53 Took the pick with the kids.

Speaker 121 Yeah. Yes.
That group.

Speaker 27 What was it?

Speaker 42 Oh, yeah, those guys. All right.

Speaker 53 I have a question about that. You know, not to distract from the drone.

Speaker 4 No, no, no, that's good. Billy, you think while we talk about the business?

Speaker 55 If motherfuckers are locked, all the Reddits.

Speaker 82 What is that? Use MLB.com.

Speaker 36 Reddit is is Billy's brain. That's what you feel done.

Speaker 8 Elite Day La Cruz, it says he's multiple positions on Reds.com. He's a shortstop.

Speaker 36 Billy's like, where do I get all my opinions from now?

Speaker 53 He hit his first home run as a walk-off, and then everyone was online being like, if I caught a home run, I would negotiate for so much. I would ask for this.
This is no.

Speaker 53 What would you actually like, because everyone says that, but it's kind of like being in a real negotiation.

Speaker 53 Would you actually have the balls to really try and negotiate something sick? Or I feel like what he got compensated for what he did, which is just catch a home run ball, was pretty fair.

Speaker 36 Yeah, I think I would.

Speaker 53 I think if it was like Aaron Judges last year, you'd ask for money, but a first home run, it's like, what do you expect?

Speaker 36 Yeah, for a first home run, I think you could probably get away with doing like free ticket to a game, all you can drink.

Speaker 91 Yeah.

Speaker 36 That seems like a fair trade, right?

Speaker 145 Yeah.

Speaker 53 That one in particular, everyone was like, this kid should have asked for more. And it's like, it's.

Speaker 55 Oh, he caught. He got...

Speaker 68 Didn't he get a sign bat too? Yeah, he got everything.

Speaker 36 If it was at like a Nationals game or a Pirates game where they do the races, I would want to be one of the pierogies that raced.

Speaker 49 Yeah, I would, if, if I caught that ball, it would be like, sign back, pick, picture, let me throw out the first pitch.

Speaker 53 What about a record breaker?

Speaker 131 Record breaker, you hold on to and you sell. That's just a fact.

Speaker 53 But that guy did hold on to it, tried to auction it, and it didn't go well for him.

Speaker 32 I would also, though, like, if you caught Judge's record-breaking home run that wasn't actually the record-breaking home run because the record is 70,

Speaker 33 I would have offered, like, I would, I would offer Judge to buy it back for less than what I could get in auction.

Speaker 18 You know what I mean?

Speaker 95 Like, if I could get $500,000 in auction, I'd be like, Judge, let's do $250,000, sign some stuff.

Speaker 32 Like, I'm not going to be a dick about it.

Speaker 91 Cash.

Speaker 129 Because then you don't have to pay taxes.

Speaker 156 I think the Dare Cheater 3,000 hit was like an all-time fleece by the Yankees.

Speaker 36 Would they get

Speaker 82 a home run?

Speaker 157 It was a home run.

Speaker 156 He got it, and he settled for like playoff tickets in a suite.

Speaker 3 And he was like 6K in debt.

Speaker 98 Oh.

Speaker 36 They took him in the back and like.

Speaker 111 I would want a gift basket, a sleepover and a gift basket.

Speaker 36 Okay, so I've been trying to find whom I hit by pitch guy.

Speaker 57 Wait, so we've been doing all this and you still don't have a pick?

Speaker 96 No, I got a guy.

Speaker 36 I've been trying to figure out who's the most hated man in baseball currently that people want to hit.

Speaker 114 Ooh, that's a good strategy.

Speaker 36 That was my strategy. Like a guy who is going to get beamed.

Speaker 53 I love to know where Reddit factors into how

Speaker 36 all the threads were, who's the most hated man in baseball right now. I was trying to find, because I think like Jose Altuve, like everyone's over-hating him.

Speaker 8 I think that's the fans in the media.

Speaker 36 You still don't know. I'm going Carlos.
Ah, fuck. Is he even playing? Carlos Correa.

Speaker 91 Okay.

Speaker 76 Wait.

Speaker 77 As your hit by pitcher?

Speaker 141 Shortstop. You already said it.

Speaker 107 It doesn't matter. What do you mean?

Speaker 27 It doesn't matter.

Speaker 107 Okay, perfect.

Speaker 8 So you're playing it at you're using him as your hit by pitch guy?

Speaker 150 Yep, Carlos. Carlos Correa.

Speaker 53 Like he probably hits a lot of home runs. No?

Speaker 133 might

Speaker 36 i mean i took grizzly well by taking him as my hit by pitch guy you guys can't have him correct correct chest move defense

Speaker 132 smart all right shanan evin we're gonna go with we're gonna go with nolan gorman he's gone second baseman gone

Speaker 8 Catch him. In the Mets.

Speaker 104 Yep. Okay.

Speaker 133 I think he's playing right field this year.

Speaker 129 Francisco Alvarez.

Speaker 79 Yes, sir.

Speaker 36 I'm putting a bounty on Carlos Correa's head. Any MLB pitcher who hits him

Speaker 36 will get something. We'll suck their dick.

Speaker 28 Sure. Something.

Speaker 36 He's going to suck your dick too.

Speaker 53 Yeah, that's bad bountying.

Speaker 8 I was pretty.

Speaker 95 This was definitely going to happen.

Speaker 85 Yeah.

Speaker 39 Carolyn in round five.

Speaker 36 Correa, by the way, the way has the same amount of home runs as Vladi Jr.

Speaker 10 Okay.

Speaker 128 Why are you hating on Vladi Jr. team?

Speaker 36 That was a bad first round.

Speaker 53 He is a stud.

Speaker 36 Not in the top 60.

Speaker 11 All right.

Speaker 11 He was last year.

Speaker 94 Shit.

Speaker 53 Give him some time.

Speaker 8 All right. My next one.

Speaker 53 Good players don't heat up till after the all-star break. Everyone knows that.

Speaker 53 Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Speaker 48 I'll go with

Speaker 65 Julio Rodriguez.

Speaker 8 Center fields.

Speaker 36 We are going to go with Corbin Carroll, left field.

Speaker 78 Nice.

Speaker 27 Diamondbacks.

Speaker 36 Has anyone taken Jordan Alvarez yet? Yeah, you can look that up also on the sheet. I took him in the first round.

Speaker 41 Whose pick is it now?

Speaker 107 Max? It's Billy.

Speaker 31 Oh, TJ, do you have a grade of that?

Speaker 52 Was that a full two rounds?

Speaker 8 That was the end of the fourth, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Worst pick in those two rounds.

Speaker 3 Do you have the sheet? Do you have the spreadsheet in front of you?

Speaker 158 No.

Speaker 27 Correct.

Speaker 36 Probably because he hits home runs.

Speaker 145 Okay.

Speaker 91 No, yeah.

Speaker 36 But also to take away home runs for other people.

Speaker 73 Sure. Think about the negative home run.

Speaker 39 Yeah. I'm underthinking it.

Speaker 36 Two steps head. I'm going with Brent.

Speaker 102 Do we do?

Speaker 88 Shit. Sorry.

Speaker 91 Brent Rooker.

Speaker 51 Sounds good.

Speaker 91 Brent Rooker.

Speaker 36 I'm very close to motioning for Billy to put on auto-draft.

Speaker 39 I would if I could.

Speaker 36 I'm like, I'm.

Speaker 36 I got Aaron Judge and Mike Trout.

Speaker 36 I like, that's auto-draft. Good names.
You got good names. Yeah.

Speaker 91 Great names.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 8 My turn.

Speaker 22 I'll go with

Speaker 8 Chicago guy, Luis Robert. Okay.
Center fielder. White Sox.
White Sox, 15 homers at the time of this recording.

Speaker 76 Okay.

Speaker 82 I'm going to take a left fielder here.

Speaker 53 I need to fill in my left field. I'm torn between two people.

Speaker 142 I am two, so I'm probably going to take the one you don't take.

Speaker 36 I'm going to give it to you.

Speaker 73 No, I don't want that. Yeah, you deserve that.

Speaker 53 He is

Speaker 53 who you deserve. He's more tied to the show.
He's more tied to you and PFT. So I am

Speaker 53 going to take Juan Soto.

Speaker 27 No.

Speaker 27 Pick.

Speaker 37 Wait, I don't think someone took him.

Speaker 111 Max did. I did, yep.

Speaker 146 Oh, no, he hasn't hasn't hit a home run in fucking forever

Speaker 92 ryan mountcastle first baseman baltimore orioles ryan the old 35 to 1 my my three futures this year Orioles 35 to 1, Rays 13 to 1, and the Chicago Cubs 100 to 1.

Speaker 144 Not looking so good.

Speaker 6 It was actually funny because when I put in the Cubs at 100 to 1, they then went down to 60 to 1, and I was like, damn, great value by me.

Speaker 60 They're back to 100 to 1.

Speaker 144 So, not so great.

Speaker 133 Go, Cubs, go.

Speaker 76 Here we go.

Speaker 152 I want the Cubs.

Speaker 110 Chicago, what do you say?

Speaker 126 All right.

Speaker 53 I'm going to take my designated hitter, and I'm going to take Marcel Ozuna.

Speaker 46 Nice.

Speaker 53 Atlanta Braves, 13 dingers on the year.

Speaker 53 That's about the extent of what I know about him.

Speaker 8 He used to play for the Marlins. I think he's dealt or dealing with some legal troubles.

Speaker 38 Great.

Speaker 116 Yep.

Speaker 53 Outlaw. That means he's got to play harder.

Speaker 53 He's got legal fees to pay.

Speaker 31 Oh, yeah. He had that DUI video?

Speaker 126 I don't know.

Speaker 8 Something. I don't know.

Speaker 36 Something to handcuff him, Hank.

Speaker 53 I mean, listen, this isn't an ethics.

Speaker 69 Who is it? Who do you pick?

Speaker 53 Marcelo Zuna.

Speaker 152 I think maybe it was him.

Speaker 126 Oh, no. Fuck.

Speaker 53 I just searched him. He provides an update on his status after exiting last night's game, following a hit by pitch on his right wrist.

Speaker 19 Oh.

Speaker 19 That's the thing.

Speaker 8 Hit by pitch guys.

Speaker 8 Dangerous because you can get 10 points, but you get hurt.

Speaker 85 You get hurt.

Speaker 143 All right, Cheek.

Speaker 53 He's day-to-day. He's fine.

Speaker 20 Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

Speaker 53 410-foot single. What a beast.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. That's a guy that's not.
That's a dinger's only guy. If you're hitting 410-foot singles,

Speaker 53 only guys that hit dingers can do that.

Speaker 36 Oh, that means he doesn't hustle.

Speaker 153 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 53 That's that's a guy that hits dingers, though. Yep, that's a guy that hits the ball and is like, that's gone here.

Speaker 133 He's like, that one's gone. Yeah.

Speaker 138 Okay.

Speaker 8 I'm going to go right fielder Hunter Renfro. Okay.
He said a homer two minutes ago, so maybe he'll get hot for tomorrow. Here you go.

Speaker 24 You just Jake just walked up to the roulette wheel.

Speaker 8 Back-to-back numbers.

Speaker 36 Not it.

Speaker 49 All right, who's up?

Speaker 8 Shannon Abbin.

Speaker 132 We're going to go with Jose Ramirez.

Speaker 95 Third base.

Speaker 143 That's a good pick. Yep.

Speaker 51 He's going to get hot.

Speaker 14 Indians. Guardians.

Speaker 41 Sorry.

Speaker 118 Guardians.

Speaker 53 Do you think that historically you're allowed to refer to them as the Indians? Like, did the Cubs beat the Indians?

Speaker 65 The Cubs beat the Indians. They beat the Indians, yeah.

Speaker 53 then, but then, doesn't that open?

Speaker 94 But if they played again, it would beat the Guardians,

Speaker 32 but it's like, yeah, why?

Speaker 87 The Redskins won the Super Bowl.

Speaker 151 It did.

Speaker 36 They won three of them, actually.

Speaker 36 I mean, it's like Baltimore Colts,

Speaker 36 Indiana Colts.

Speaker 53 Yeah, just, yeah, it's, you know, it is what it is.

Speaker 36 It's part of our history, Hank. Yeah,

Speaker 36 it's shameful as it is. They changed it, yeah.

Speaker 143 Yeah. Okay, who's up?

Speaker 150 Max.

Speaker 53 If it's so bad to change it, why aren't they retroactive?

Speaker 8 I am going to go with

Speaker 75 Dieworks.

Speaker 10 Paul Goldschmidt.

Speaker 74 Okay. Cardinals first basis.

Speaker 53 That doesn't sound like a guy that hits dingers.

Speaker 6 He does. What does that mean?

Speaker 53 What does that mean?

Speaker 133 Sounds like a guy that does your taxes.

Speaker 141 What does that mean, Hank?

Speaker 75 Just sounds like a normal. It just sounds like a normal account.

Speaker 36 Sounds like a guy that, what? What else do you want to add to that?

Speaker 27 Maybe your doctor or your lawyer?

Speaker 131 Maybe

Speaker 36 goes to church on Saturday kind of guy?

Speaker 52 No, it just doesn't. I mean.

Speaker 95 What if his last name was just Schmidt?

Speaker 45 What would you say then? I don't know.

Speaker 50 Just doesn't sound like a guy.

Speaker 53 Doesn't jump off the page as a guy that hits dingers.

Speaker 73 He does hit dingers.

Speaker 34 We'll see.

Speaker 60 Okay.

Speaker 147 Who's up?

Speaker 157 I'm going to go with Sean Murphy, catcher, Braves.

Speaker 89 He's still in Tampa.

Speaker 104 Ooh, yeah.

Speaker 8 I'm up, right? Yep. Well, it's the end of the sixth round.
Yeah, TJ.

Speaker 122 TJ Raid.

Speaker 22 TJ.

Speaker 98 He's going to be cool. Yep.

Speaker 77 Just stay tuned.

Speaker 73 What about Yelich?

Speaker 41 He's going to heat up.

Speaker 80 Maybe.

Speaker 131 Okay, who's up?

Speaker 146 I'm up.

Speaker 8 This might be stupid because I don't know when he's coming back, but he's such a vibes guy. I'm going to go with Jazz Chisholm.

Speaker 145 Oh, nice.

Speaker 145 Harlan's are hot right now. Great Great name.

Speaker 73 Great name.

Speaker 73 That guy's hurt right now.

Speaker 50 That sounds like a guy that hits dingers.

Speaker 78 Jazz Chisholm?

Speaker 85 Yes.

Speaker 53 Like, hits Dingers. Fucks bitches.

Speaker 92 What if his name was Shlomo Chisholm?

Speaker 8 Second base, Max?

Speaker 36 What if his last name is

Speaker 75 second base?

Speaker 129 Chisholm.

Speaker 132 They have Chisholm playing center field because the rise is at second.

Speaker 80 Look at Shannon.

Speaker 98 Okay.

Speaker 8 I mean, baseball reference has second base shortstop.

Speaker 63 Oh, but Shane just said, where is he playing every day, Shane?

Speaker 85 Center field. There it is.

Speaker 68 Shane.

Speaker 8 Do you have a center field or no?

Speaker 65 Yes, I do.

Speaker 8 No, I meant like available. Sorry.
I don't.

Speaker 58 I'm so excited for this. Hold on.

Speaker 8 All right, fine. Fuck it.
I'll take Glaber then.

Speaker 27 Okay. Oh,

Speaker 8 he's playing second, right? Mm-hmm.

Speaker 127 Yeah.

Speaker 117 Good pick.

Speaker 36 We are going to go with Marcus Simeon, second base.

Speaker 19 Fuck.

Speaker 19 Whoa.

Speaker 76 Okay, Billy.

Speaker 36 I'm going with Jake Berger, third base.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 156 Berger San Bay.

Speaker 8 I'm going to go with Brandon Lau,

Speaker 8 second baseman, Tampa Bay.

Speaker 150 Okay.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 45 Great pick.

Speaker 53 My original plan was to just pick a bunch of Chicago Cubs and White Sox, but then I realized not a lot of them hit dingers, so that that got

Speaker 53 ran its course. But now I think I'm just going to to be a Paz guy.

Speaker 53 Okay. I lives in San Diego.

Speaker 49 I'm taking Tatis Jr.

Speaker 94 Great field.

Speaker 38 Took him already longer than he was.

Speaker 75 What the fuck?

Speaker 75 What the fuck?

Speaker 114 Great pick, though.

Speaker 82 Yeah. When?

Speaker 36 Like 15 minutes ago. It's not even, dude.

Speaker 73 Roy's

Speaker 73 he's on the old score.

Speaker 27 Fourth round.

Speaker 8 Oh, Brandon Lau just went on the injured list.

Speaker 139 Oh, dude.

Speaker 27 This draft is awesome. Awful.

Speaker 73 You know, I'm having a great time.

Speaker 27 All right, then.

Speaker 53 I will take Teoscar Hernandez.

Speaker 53 Right fielder, Seattle Mariners.

Speaker 114 Okay.

Speaker 8 You took Vlad Jr. as a right fielder.

Speaker 38 Oh, Hank.

Speaker 27 We are.

Speaker 36 No, Vlad's a first baseman.

Speaker 107 Shane?

Speaker 8 Yeah, Shane, can we get a ruling on Vlad's positioning?

Speaker 145 I'm sorry.

Speaker 8 Can we get a ruling on Vlad's positioning?

Speaker 27 I think he's drunk, too.

Speaker 75 Yeah, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 8 What position has Vlad been playing?

Speaker 132 First base. Okay.

Speaker 27 He's listed on

Speaker 73 first.

Speaker 8 I color closed. So Vlad's your first baseman.
So orange. And then Teasker Hernandez.

Speaker 53 Yes. Right fielder.
Okay.

Speaker 150 Damn. Jeez.

Speaker 53 Tati Soto, one, two, punch.

Speaker 38 Half my team is hurt.

Speaker 87 Okay, I'm going to take.

Speaker 145 Max, you want to trade?

Speaker 85 No, thank you.

Speaker 38 Sure.

Speaker 8 No, thank you.

Speaker 125 Oh, wait.

Speaker 60 Has this guy been picked?

Speaker 118 Sure. This is getting tough.

Speaker 73 Yeah, but you're not sure.

Speaker 8 Even if your guy's hurt, the other teams aren't guaranteed to score while they're hurt. So that's what's great about Dingers only.

Speaker 142 Dingers only.

Speaker 53 I'm trading a guy that has 11 home runs for a guy that has 12.

Speaker 133 That's good value.

Speaker 53 I'll give you something else, Max. We can do a double trade if you want.

Speaker 40 No, thank you.

Speaker 53 You're fun. You're a lot of fun.

Speaker 155 I like the vibes.

Speaker 11 Tatis is a vibes guy.

Speaker 8 I mean,

Speaker 8 that's a guy I want in my clubhouse.

Speaker 36 He's always suspended. His teammates hate him.

Speaker 140 Nah, he's a great guy.

Speaker 53 I'll give you Jan Gomes.

Speaker 8 No, thank you.

Speaker 152 Nice.

Speaker 36 I think there's a lot of value left on the board. I feel like you guys are playing to the list too much and not to the names.

Speaker 98 Some names on here.

Speaker 87 We're kind of boxed in because

Speaker 32 only pick one position.

Speaker 36 Yeah, if you scroll down a little bit, though, there's some like huge name guys that came off injuries afterwards.

Speaker 155 Yeah, we're just looking at current leaders that are going to hit 30 home runs in the rest of the year.

Speaker 156 Any center fielders you would take.

Speaker 10 Oh, don't give him a tel.

Speaker 27 Don't give him a tip.

Speaker 36 I keep seeing C and thinking center.

Speaker 8 Manny Michado.

Speaker 129 It's the third base.

Speaker 8 To be fair, TJ also gave gave me a name that I didn't take because of the integrity of the game.

Speaker 8 Jake, I think I deserve some credit for that.

Speaker 68 That's huge.

Speaker 53 What was the name?

Speaker 27 I'm not going to tell you.

Speaker 75 That's not integrity at all. Really?

Speaker 8 I'm not going to Shannon Evans. Shannon Evans.

Speaker 8 Oh, he's great. I loved him on the Yankees.
He's just like not guaranteed to be in the league.

Speaker 68 Why not?

Speaker 8 Because he's been on the Mets. He's been on, I think, the Twins.

Speaker 36 But he's hitting dingers. He's got five home runs this season.
Can't catch.

Speaker 53 Can't call the game.

Speaker 27 Nope. Nope.

Speaker 98 Nope.

Speaker 98 Fuck.

Speaker 68 You cannot.

Speaker 34 Nope. Shit.

Speaker 152 Yeah, I should have taken him as your DH.

Speaker 84 Fuck. Who's up? What?

Speaker 27 Wait,

Speaker 27 who's up?

Speaker 36 If he's a catcher and he's a DH for a game, does that count?

Speaker 53 All right, go check. There's no way that anyone's going to catch on to that.

Speaker 27 I'll go with

Speaker 100 Cal Raleigh from the Seattle Mariners.

Speaker 101 Okay.

Speaker 87 I'm looking at fangrafts right now.

Speaker 93 He has eight home runs, minus three and a half.

Speaker 2 He should have 11.5 home runs.

Speaker 36 I think I'm going to take a shortstop.

Speaker 2 Adam Frazier, second base.

Speaker 36 Yep, second base. And then at shortstop.

Speaker 27 Oh, wait.

Speaker 8 You took Nolan Gorman.

Speaker 68 Wait, did I?

Speaker 84 Yes.

Speaker 107 You have Nolan Gorman.

Speaker 36 Of course. Yeah, my man, Nolan Gorman.

Speaker 145 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Okay, so you need...

Speaker 149 Of course.

Speaker 36 You need a catcher. He's testing you.
You need a catcher in shortstop, PFC.

Speaker 27 Oh, catcher.

Speaker 87 Is Nolan Gorman a second baseman?

Speaker 33 I have him a second baseman.

Speaker 48 Yes.

Speaker 32 I don't see red or blue on your team.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 96 I'm going to go with Anthony Volpe.

Speaker 33 Oh, nice.

Speaker 75 Yeah, he's been playing short.

Speaker 145 Yeah, he's been playing short. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 36 Good pick, PFT. Great pick.
Thanks, PFT. Well, so

Speaker 87 I looked it up because I was going to maybe pick him as well.

Speaker 126 And the first article was

Speaker 46 Yankees

Speaker 123 or Brian, or sorry, not Brian Cashman. What the fuck is his name?

Speaker 85 Brett Boone, Aaron Boone,

Speaker 87 says that Anthony Volpe is staying up.

Speaker 27 Can I answer this question?

Speaker 27 Question answered.

Speaker 72 That's one less thing I have to ask.

Speaker 63 That's never a good conversation to have that you have to ask if he's staying up.

Speaker 53 Oh, damn, it went to voicemail.

Speaker 36 Who's your question, Hank?

Speaker 53 No,

Speaker 53 my freshman year basketball coach, this guy's a legend, Coach DJ. He gets everyone's information.
He calls them every year on their birthday. He called you? Just called me, but I didn't answer.

Speaker 85 Oh, call him back. Whoa.

Speaker 47 Freshman year basketball intermission.

Speaker 8 It's time for the final round.

Speaker 129 Are you still up?

Speaker 53 I am still up, Coach DJ. I'm actually recording.
I'm recording a podcast right now.

Speaker 53 So you're live on the air.

Speaker 48 Thank you for calling.

Speaker 158 Oh, Henry, I love you. Fantastic.
I am very glad. I missed you last year, but I wanted to say happy birthday.

Speaker 53 Thank you, Coach. I appreciate it.
I always appreciate you reaching out.

Speaker 158 Yeah.

Speaker 158 I'm glad you're on the podcast. And I'm sorry that I'm so old that I actually don't know what half the things that you do, but

Speaker 158 I'm glad to hear that you're doing so well.

Speaker 53 Appreciate Appreciate you, Coach. Hope everything is going well.

Speaker 158 Everything is fantastic. Just went to Saw the Citric guys today playing

Speaker 158 Wellesley League, and they won by two and a buzzer beater. But, you know, love you guys.
You keep me going. All of you do.

Speaker 53 Love it. Thanks, Coach.

Speaker 158 Absolutely. Love you.
Happy birthday, and keep doing what you're doing.

Speaker 53 All right. Love you too.
Have a good one.

Speaker 158 You too.

Speaker 20 All right. Bye.
All right.

Speaker 137 That fucking warmed my heart.

Speaker 94 That's really cool.

Speaker 27 That warmed my heart.

Speaker 45 That guy's the man.

Speaker 18 Love you, DJ, every single year holy shit and he's how long ago were you did you was he your coach freshman year high school so 16 years ago yeah calls you every year every every every one of his players oh my god that guy's the man but he probably just has to call people all the time yeah

Speaker 150 that's awesome he gets probably

Speaker 8 got ruled he probably gets to call someone every day yeah that ruled that's actually a good strategy he's a man so this is the last round so if you look at the top there should be one missing color for your final position.

Speaker 8 All right.

Speaker 42 Go ahead, PFT.

Speaker 118 Did you already pick your last pick?

Speaker 133 Oh, I get another pick.

Speaker 8 That's right.

Speaker 36 You just took Volpe, yeah. I took Volpe.

Speaker 95 He's definitely staying up.

Speaker 121 PFT, please catch him up.

Speaker 45 What do you think, TJ, about Volpe?

Speaker 87 Is he definitely staying up yet?

Speaker 36 Yeah, he's not going to hit a bunch of home runs.

Speaker 128 Well, you don't know that.

Speaker 73 You know that.

Speaker 49 He's a Yankees fan.

Speaker 36 I'd say 20 max.

Speaker 72 Okay, well, that's 12 more home runs.

Speaker 79 That's a shitload of home runs.

Speaker 36 12 more points. Who would you have taken, TJ? I got a list.

Speaker 72 I don't want to tip pitches.

Speaker 85 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 34 I bet you do.

Speaker 36 All right. Steve Catcher.
I know. I know.
I need a catcher. And so for my catcher, I'm going to take a guy, a little guy, you may have heard of him.
Goes by the name of JT Realmuto.

Speaker 151 Nice. Nice.

Speaker 36 Philly, what do you think about that, Max?

Speaker 8 I almost took him in, like, the third round.

Speaker 145 But you didn't.

Speaker 77 I know. Now I got him.

Speaker 36 Real Muto, baby.

Speaker 8 Big cat, second.

Speaker 2 It's a bad pick, but I have to have at least one cub on my team, so I'm going to take Nico Horner.

Speaker 152 Second base.

Speaker 49 Got to support the team.

Speaker 38 He hasn't hit a home run like a month.

Speaker 8 Hank, also second baseman.

Speaker 53 Yep. I'm going strictly on name recognition.

Speaker 53 Kavan Biggio.

Speaker 27 Ivan Biggio. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 87 So that was the guy I was looking up, and I was like, ooh, he's having a bad year.

Speaker 153 Yeah, and he is.

Speaker 22 He's adding 190.

Speaker 53 Six home runs, though.

Speaker 114 Right.

Speaker 82 And I looked him up because I was.

Speaker 53 I got him at 202.

Speaker 131 Oh, nice.

Speaker 32 So when TJ tipped us off, I went and looked deep in the list trying to find someone.

Speaker 123 I saw him, and I saw that he hasn't played a ton of games.

Speaker 92 I was like, oh, did he get injured?

Speaker 29 He's just sitting a bunch.

Speaker 132 Yeah, but he's a bigio. He had a home run tonight.

Speaker 76 Oh,

Speaker 91 bang.

Speaker 36 Doesn't count, though.

Speaker 27 Doesn't count. Does not count.

Speaker 32 Tomorrow is the first day.

Speaker 58 Okay.

Speaker 2 Me, I need a DH, and I think this is someone TJ was hinting at.

Speaker 8 But John Carlos Stanton has been injured, and he just hit his fifth home run.

Speaker 75 Ah, that's a DH.

Speaker 75 We're idiots.

Speaker 52 We are really, really dumb.

Speaker 145 I almost let that slip.

Speaker 27 But he'll get injured again.

Speaker 53 Probably, but he'll also hit like 10 home runs before then.

Speaker 36 God damn it. Shit.

Speaker 2 Yeah, D.H. Stanton.

Speaker 8 DJ, is that who you were talking about? That was on the list, yes.

Speaker 152 Damn it.

Speaker 52 We might be

Speaker 36 the only fantasy baseball league that

Speaker 36 Carlos Stanton.

Speaker 56 Next year, we're doing this league from game one.

Speaker 27 Because Dinger's only rules.

Speaker 85 Yeah. So we will be.
I'm already loving this.

Speaker 8 I'm going to love tracking this, okay.

Speaker 103 Billy, last pick.

Speaker 38 Let me just figure out if this guy's healthy

Speaker 36 going. Uh,

Speaker 104 Zach McKinstream.

Speaker 36 Never mind, never mind.

Speaker 137 Never mind.

Speaker 120 Never mind.

Speaker 36 That's very close, Billy.

Speaker 8 Billy, you need a second baseman.

Speaker 36 I know, I'm looking.

Speaker 36 I've been working on this the whole time. I just found out there's projections, too, that you could find.

Speaker 36 I've been looking through those. Okay.
I'm going with

Speaker 27 Jorge Polanco.

Speaker 76 Okay.

Speaker 36 That's a good name.

Speaker 27 Jorge Polanco. Twins.

Speaker 141 Yeah.

Speaker 55 Okay. Who's up?

Speaker 9 Shane and Evan need.

Speaker 80 What do they need?

Speaker 80 Fuck me.

Speaker 128 What's wrong?

Speaker 8 Shannon Evan DH.

Speaker 27 Jay Polanco.

Speaker 14 Torn Amster.

Speaker 65 Oh, no.

Speaker 27 Are you serious?

Speaker 27 You're going to have a torn rotator cuff. I know.

Speaker 36 But then I can expense the surgery.

Speaker 77 Sweet.

Speaker 132 We're going to go with...

Speaker 132 We're going to go with Justin Turner.

Speaker 85 Oh. Redstone.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 8 That's a DH? Yep.

Speaker 86 I will go with...

Speaker 8 I will go with Ty France as my hit-by-pitcher.

Speaker 27 Is he up there?

Speaker 121 In hit? Yeah, he is.

Speaker 38 He's number two.

Speaker 27 Who's number one?

Speaker 122 Ruiz. Oh, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 29 Esther Ruiz. Sorry, Hank.

Speaker 29 That's going to change.

Speaker 27 That's fate.

Speaker 17 Because think about it. Like, Juan Soto could hit, like, five more home runs than Christian Yelich.

Speaker 3 But if Esther Ruiz gets just hit by a pitch two more times, that's insane value.

Speaker 8 All right, Mr. Irrelevant.
Memes needs a hit-by-pitch player.

Speaker 154 I was going to take Die France.

Speaker 128 Andres Jimenez.

Speaker 114 Okay.

Speaker 66 All All right.

Speaker 36 My team sucks.

Speaker 55 All right, real quick. Go back through.

Speaker 145 Hey, team.

Speaker 16 Pitchers for Tiebreaker.

Speaker 50 This is strikeouts.

Speaker 95 Strikeouts. Pitchers for Tiebreaker.

Speaker 56 Let's do it fast.

Speaker 76 Am I up first?

Speaker 22 Yeah, just go quick.

Speaker 36 We weren't doing it. Damn it.

Speaker 113 Do you not want to be up first?

Speaker 36 I think I should get to go first. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 10 Go first, Pierce.

Speaker 36 So I went last.

Speaker 36 I'm going to go with Strider.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 45 I'll go with Kevin Gossman.

Speaker 36 Good pick, big cat.

Speaker 65 Thank you. This means very little.

Speaker 118 No, you don't know that.

Speaker 73 You could mean everything.

Speaker 87 You know what Max just did?

Speaker 36 Max ensured that it's going to come down to his pitcher in the last game.

Speaker 91 Shut up.

Speaker 111 This is like picking

Speaker 8 up in the last round where you don't think it means anything, but it could mean everything.

Speaker 95 It should mean for second place, too.

Speaker 53 I'll go with Shohei.

Speaker 36 Nice. Shohei's been picked, though.

Speaker 146 He's on my team. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 80 Oh!

Speaker 55 Yes, BFT.

Speaker 68 He gets paid twice.

Speaker 99 I'm so happy I didn't pick Shane.

Speaker 22 That's encouraging Clayton Kershaw.

Speaker 52 That's so...

Speaker 4 Dude, was he picked in the first?

Speaker 96 Was he the second pick?

Speaker 135 Well, no, it was the first overall pick. First overall pick.

Speaker 50 Clayton Kershaw.

Speaker 103 Damn, dude.

Speaker 27 First overall pick. Clayton Kershaw.

Speaker 8 I'll go Garrett Cole.

Speaker 94 Fuck, that's what I was going to say.

Speaker 27 Okay?

Speaker 27 Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

Speaker 36 I want to see a word cloud of things that we've said during this draft. I think it's mostly just fuck.
Yeah. All right, Billy.
I'm going Shane McClanner McLannan.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 85 Yes, good pick.

Speaker 125 Raise.

Speaker 132 We're going to go Hunter Green.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 11 Reds.

Speaker 8 I will go with Tristan McKenzie.

Speaker 156 Did somebody pick Garrick Cole?

Speaker 75 Yes. Yes, dude.

Speaker 156 Sucked.

Speaker 140 Zach Wheeler?

Speaker 73 All right. Go for it.

Speaker 27 Wow.

Speaker 55 How do you not pick Zach Wheeler, Max?

Speaker 19 Fake fan.

Speaker 8 Fake fan. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 8 The pitcher doesn't matter. It's not going to matter.
All right. Okay.

Speaker 75 Okay.

Speaker 8 So this is strikeout starting Wednesday, Drew 14.

Speaker 36 You might be like tied for seconds.

Speaker 27 Tiebreaker.

Speaker 65 DJ, who'd we leave out?

Speaker 36 Nick Castellanos.

Speaker 145 Hunter Renfro.

Speaker 141 Oh, we should have taken Castellanos.

Speaker 55 Hunter Renfro got taken.

Speaker 95 Gunner Henderson.

Speaker 122 Okay.

Speaker 122 I think he's going to be really good.

Speaker 36 Bregman. Did anybody take Bregman?

Speaker 129 No.

Speaker 36 Joey Gallo has 11.

Speaker 130 There's a guy named Vinny Pasquatino.

Speaker 73 Joey Gallo has 11 homers?

Speaker 36 Joey Gallo is destroying the ball.

Speaker 132 Pasquentino is hurt right now as well.

Speaker 84 Oh, my God. Pascatino?

Speaker 8 Vinny Pasquantino. No.

Speaker 156 Nobody took Bellinger.

Speaker 36 We should have taken. I can't believe nobody took Castellanos.

Speaker 8 Just in case. I was looking at him, but I don't know.

Speaker 27 That's on memes. It's on memes.
He's only cool in two seconds.

Speaker 136 That was a Cincinnati thing.

Speaker 36 That's your fetish.

Speaker 51 That was a Cincinnati.

Speaker 36 Jimmy Carter is going to die any day now, and Castellanos is going to hit four home runs now.

Speaker 8 Castellanos has been really, really good this year. He's been on fire, but he still hasn't been hitting that many home runs.

Speaker 45 So that means he'll probably hit a shitload of home runs.

Speaker 39 He's going to hit him.

Speaker 73 He's done.

Speaker 8 I think that

Speaker 8 he's playing as well as he possibly could be playing right now and still not hit. He's hitting a shit ton of doubles.
He peaked.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 75 Mike

Speaker 36 hit dingers. Paul DeJong.

Speaker 125 Okay.

Speaker 123 I think he got taken.

Speaker 36 I just did one from every position.

Speaker 50 TJ, do you have one from every position?

Speaker 8 I I need a pitcher.

Speaker 68 All right, you should track yours.

Speaker 143 Okay.

Speaker 36 Yeah. Unofficial.

Speaker 82 Leftover.

Speaker 39 TJ Ted. Yeah, basically.

Speaker 73 TJ beats us. The scraps, team.

Speaker 111 Do you track TJ's?

Speaker 122 Yeah, it's like the heat.

Speaker 8 Undraft the team.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 73 Put it into the.

Speaker 8 TJ's text me your list. I'll add it to our sheet.

Speaker 36 Got it.

Speaker 133 Damn. All right.
Well.

Speaker 63 If you finish top two,

Speaker 2 TJ should get something

Speaker 36 to laugh at us during the video.

Speaker 95 Yeah, you should get to pick

Speaker 5 what the pitcher has to wear.

Speaker 39 Finished top two.

Speaker 36 I mean,

Speaker 36 this has been a painful draft to get through, but the fun of the league starts now. Yeah.
It's going to be a very fun league to keep track of.

Speaker 131 Thank God we taped all this on a podcast so people could listen to this and be like, what did I just listen to?

Speaker 93 Yeah, you just listened to guys saying names, many of which were repeats.

Speaker 98 Yeah.

Speaker 36 40 check.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 157 My team's good enough to not come in last.

Speaker 8 You You think? Could be good enough to come in second.

Speaker 36 Those guys were going harder than us in this room back in there.

Speaker 75 I think so, too.

Speaker 8 Shane and Evan meant business. They took no hesitation on their part.

Speaker 36 I'd like to apologize to Josh Smith.

Speaker 36 I'm going to be rooting for him to get hit by a pitch after he battled back from like almost dying by getting hit by a pitch.

Speaker 98 Yeah.

Speaker 137 I would like, Josh.

Speaker 87 Not apologize to Esthery Reese.

Speaker 36 Just keep getting fucking plunked, dude. Josh, I just hope you get hit

Speaker 36 on your shoulder a lot.

Speaker 95 It will be such a game changer if someone has a guy get hit by a pitch like 10 times.

Speaker 36 Yeah, just stick your ass out there, Josh.

Speaker 140 Use your ass. Huge.

Speaker 36 Still got a bounty on Carlos Correa for any NMLB pitcher.

Speaker 2 What are you going to do?

Speaker 36 Gonna give him a tour of the office. Is that what they're calling it now?

Speaker 151 Yeah.

Speaker 36 Tour of the office. Full office.
The deep office. Tour of the office.
Very, very back of the office.

Speaker 18 TJ, can you do us one last favor?

Speaker 4 Yep. Can you go, because we trust you, can you go hit the lottery ball machine?

Speaker 50 Yeah. Okay, before you do that,

Speaker 21 not going to say the word yet.

Speaker 36 Numbers.

Speaker 98 Oh,

Speaker 141 I didn't say.

Speaker 36 Billy, you said numbers. Billy.
No, I just said numbers.

Speaker 73 There's none.

Speaker 75 Hey, Kianzi.

Speaker 96 Hey, what the fuck?

Speaker 135 You just said numbers.

Speaker 36 But you just said numbers in a sentence.

Speaker 2 Oh, I said numbers.

Speaker 131 If you listen back, I said numbers after you said numbers.

Speaker 36 Let me go 21.

Speaker 55 I'll go. Wait, TJ, hold on.

Speaker 95 Oh, you could just tell us.

Speaker 64 Make sure you put it back in if there's one in there.

Speaker 8 TJ,

Speaker 8 I'm getting the room up here.

Speaker 27 What? Oh, oh, TJ's getting the room.

Speaker 36 I'm doing 40.

Speaker 87 I'll do 17.

Speaker 36 I think I'm the only one that drank all 40 ounces.

Speaker 18 Memes, have you ever gotten this?

Speaker 75 What the hell is going on?

Speaker 156 I don't believe so. I could have got it by the day this airs.

Speaker 75 Probably not, though. No, probably not.

Speaker 36 As of now.

Speaker 100 Probably not.

Speaker 27 Who the hell is that? But when is now?
