Speaker 1 Welcome to part in my take. Today is Monday, June 26th, and guys,

Speaker 1 all my fears have come true. Billy Football sitting right next to me on the desk.

Speaker 1 Hey, Billy.

Speaker 8 How are we doing? Here, because the camera cuts are easier if I'm sitting here. Thank you for having me at the desk.

Speaker 1 PFT, please. Help.

Speaker 9 Yeah, no, I have to deal with this reality twice a week when we record macro dosing, when Billy takes your spot. And

Speaker 9 it takes a little bit to get used to. Billy tried to make a joke when we first started.
He was like, I can like slouch down if I'm too tall for this camera.

Speaker 9 Billy's too tall for cameras and his own brain.

Speaker 1 What? We're the same height, Billy. No, we're not.
No, he's saying because I stood up for PFT. Oh, oh, because you're sitting in there.
Oh, got it, got it. Well, they can move the cameras.

Speaker 1 Taller than you. How tall are you? Taller than you.
How tall are you? We don't look eye-to-eye. Okay.

Speaker 9 Oh, a little preview of the vlog behind the scenes at Titan University, Billy. I think you were saying that, was it David and Joku that you were saying next to?

Speaker 9 Billy was a cub 6'4.

Speaker 9 No, I said I was 6'3.

Speaker 8 He was like, I'm 6'4. You're not 6'3.
And I was like, he was definitely like 6'6.

Speaker 1 Yeah. 6'4 is definitely a lie.
No, he was huge.

Speaker 9 I never said 6'4. That's on TV.

Speaker 1 Okay, so it is a great show. We got a great show.
We got Travis Kelsey on this show. Boys,

Speaker 1 we are in the middle of summer. We've got...
We're going to talk some baseball. Is there anything else we want to talk about before we do our baseball takes storylines?

Speaker 1 We did have the fourth, fifth major today, the Travelers, where Keegan Bradley completely skull fucked the course for, what was it? How many holes do they play?

Speaker 1 They play 72 for like 68 of the holes and then limped to the win, but it didn't matter because he was that fucking good for the first 68.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I mean, it was an embarrassment to the game of golf. They're making the courses too easy.
It's the balls, actually, right?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 9 When I watched Keegan Bradley play, I was like, okay, golf does have a ball problem.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes. Rory mentioned it after.
He's like, maybe these courses, maybe we are too good for the course. Why don't they just make it like a par 65?

Speaker 1 Just juice this, like, it doesn't really matter, right? Like, if you want to see lower scores, just change what the par is, and then you'll see lower scores.

Speaker 9 If I were the U.S.

Speaker 9 Open, what I would have done after the first round when I was getting skull fucked by players in what should be the hardest golf course of the entire year, for the pin placements on day number two, I would have actually made the holes smaller.

Speaker 9 Yeah. Like, kind of the opposite of what we're talking about with Rascillo, make it like a quarter-inch smaller.

Speaker 1 I like that.

Speaker 9 Scores reduced.

Speaker 1 I like that. Hank, did you

Speaker 1 not like seeing the course just get battered the way it did?

Speaker 2 No, I mean, I love Keegan, Pride of New England, winning it in Connecticut. Special stuff.
I was happy for the guy.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.
So that was.

Speaker 2 I also tweeted a picture

Speaker 2 that I have with him, and then he started to fall apart. So I got really concerned, but he never in doubt.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He did.
It did look like for a moment there, but he was so you can't apologize for

Speaker 1 a bad last four holes when you were that good the whole tournament and no one's even close to you.

Speaker 1 Like, that's actually kind of a sick flex to be like, I can be so, so bad in these last four holes and I'll never even have to sweat because that's how good I was.

Speaker 2 And Rory should focus on hitting some putts. You know, that's the balls have nothing to do with why he's losing all these tournaments.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a fact.

Speaker 1 We also have a national championship tonight. So LSU, Florida, national championship on the line, best of three.
It's the third game.

Speaker 9 Sweetest two words in sports. Game three.

Speaker 1 Game three. It's going to be electric.
I don't know if you guys have watched any of this series, but obviously Florida just...

Speaker 1 I don't even know if you can say it's shit pumping because it was laughable. It looked like

Speaker 9 men's softball league when it's one team's wearing batting gloves and the other team is half drunk and doesn't know who their right fielder is because it was like, I think the final score is 24 to 4 which is quite something i was going to use the term curb stomping yeah it was a curb stomping that the gat that the gators put on uh put on the tigers and it looked like lsu was going to come out they did come out strong and it looked like it was going to be an easy lsu win until uh who was not on florida hit like those those uh two dingers to left field yeah the second of which was basically a pop fly and the wind carried it out but the wind was only blowing when florida was a bat i noticed tonight yes and it was it was bad.

Speaker 9 Things got really bad for LSU. When Florida started to steal bases, when they were up by like 15 runs in the seventh inning,

Speaker 9 that to me was a mistake by Florida because you gave LSU something to be really pissed off about going into game three.

Speaker 9 Whereas if you had just continued to beat the shit out of them and not tried to steal bases, that sort of thing, if you had respected the sanctity of the unwritten rules of baseball, then LSU would have way less to fight about, I think.

Speaker 9 Like their confidence would be down going into game three, and they wouldn't be angry. Now they're just pissed off.

Speaker 9 Now they feel like they got their pants pulled down on national television, which they kind of did.

Speaker 9 The real story in this is the power of the pearl necklace. Nobody's talking about the Florida Pearl Necklaces.
I don't know.

Speaker 9 Remember back in like 2010 when all the MLB players started to wear the fighting necklaces, those like weird electrical titanium necklaces, which I love, by the way.

Speaker 9 Everyone started to wear those out of nowhere, basically like witchcraft that you'd wrap around your neck, and it would just make your balance better.

Speaker 9 That's what Florida's doing right now with these weird pearl necklaces. At first, I saw and I was like, are they rocking puka shells? Are the boys bringing back puka shells?

Speaker 9 But upon closer inspection, I think they're just pearl necklaces that all the boys are rocking.

Speaker 1 I like it. I like it.
The other big story is Paul Skeens, who's pitching for LSU, I think, tomorrow, who is the best pitcher in college baseball and is going for

Speaker 1 there's different eras in college baseball, but there's only three guys going into this tournament who had more strikeouts than him on a season, and it was Jared Weaver, Trevor Bauer, and Mark Pryor.

Speaker 1 If he has five strikeouts tomorrow, he will have the record in like the last 30 years.

Speaker 1 And he is one of my favorite things in baseball.

Speaker 1 He is pitching on three days' rest, and this will be the third time he's pitched in nine days. His last two times, he pitched 123 pitches and 120 pitches.
So he's just,

Speaker 1 they're like, we're just putting him out there and he's just going to mow everyone down in the college world series, pitched 15 and two-thirds inning and giving up two earned runs and 21 strikeouts.

Speaker 1 So he's just an absolute, he's a hoss. He's a hoss.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's a hoss. And he, like, how far can you push him? I'm sure Keith Law is going to be very upset about what he does to the arm, but he can win a national title, and that's pretty fucking cool.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 You know who the big winner in all this is? Is the bar that sells the Jell-O shots for having LSU fans stick around for another night? Yes.

Speaker 9 They're probably going to do like $250,000 worth of business just based on that. Yeah.
In and of itself. Also, LSU has a relief pitcher named Riley Cooper, which is always

Speaker 9 good for a laugh when he gets out in the field. He gets the Twitter fingers going.

Speaker 1 He's been trending a couple of times and it's been like, wait, what's going on? And then you realize, oh, yeah, he's just on the bump right now.

Speaker 9 Did you hear this one, big cat? Did you read about this? When they put Riley Cooper in the game, he's a great relief pitcher. He's going to give you three K's.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 nice, nice. I like it.
hear that one? I like it.

Speaker 1 All right. Wait, before we do baseball talk, that was a little baseball talk, MLB talk.
PFT,

Speaker 1 you wanted to do a quick midsummer catch-up of NFL players that have moved in free agency that we probably didn't realize just so that we can keep our brains sharp.

Speaker 1 Now, this one's going to hurt for me. I didn't look any of them up, but I'll say right now, my brain is not sharp.
So I'm very nervous about what you're going to drop on me.

Speaker 9 No, it's fine.

Speaker 9 I just have five players here that shocked me when i learned what team they were on and it's something that we remember from like the second week of march when free agency starts and because there's so much that happens around then it just my brain is on a one it one in one out policy when it comes to facts yep so i have to relearn these facts to push something else out of my head so i can retain this but it's important to stay brushed up on nfl moves before you get to like i don't know week one, week two of the regular season.

Speaker 9 Then you expose yourself as a casual for not realizing this guy was on a new team. All right, so I'm ready.

Speaker 1 I'm gonna, I'm gonna give my best shot. So, you give it to me, and anyone else can chime in as well.

Speaker 9 Do you know where Darren Waller plays?

Speaker 1 Is he on the Giants?

Speaker 1 He is. Yeah, he's a Giant.

Speaker 1 I only remember that because Darren Waller got traded right after Josh McDaniels leaked his wedding that he was trying to keep private.

Speaker 1 And then Darren Waller was like, You son of a bitch, I hate you, just like everyone who's ever played for Josh McDaniels. And then that trade happened like a week after.

Speaker 9 Yeah, Josh McDaniels is trying his hardest to recreate the New England Patriots, except Tom Brady is now the owner, not the quarterback. And it's not going well for him.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 9 Second player, this one absolutely floored me. Did not know this.
Adam Thielen. You know where Adam Thielen's playing next year?

Speaker 1 Oh, fuck. I want to say, I want to say

Speaker 1 I want to say it's the Panthers because Andy Dalton's also on the Panthers. It is the Panthers.
Okay, I'm sharp. I'm sharp.
Yeah, you're locked in.

Speaker 9 You're locked in. You did not look any of these up.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 I remember Adam Thielen leaving Minnesota, and I remember, obviously, I know where Andy Dalton's playing. So I was like, damn, that's a, and now I'm even thinking, is it Bryce?

Speaker 1 Bryce Young is in Carolina. That's

Speaker 1 a second. That's

Speaker 1 the first pick in the fucking draft. Good coach.

Speaker 1 Frank Reich. Yep.
All right.

Speaker 1 We're locked in on the Panthers board. I'm good.

Speaker 9 I was looking at this roster and looking at Reich, and I was like, you know what? Panthers might go ahead. They might fuck around and win that division this year.

Speaker 9 Also, Andy Dalton is going to look swaggy as hell in that silver helmet.

Speaker 1 The red hair.

Speaker 9 I hope he grows his hair out into like a mullet.

Speaker 1 Yeah, a tough

Speaker 1 tough for Saints fans, though. You never want to see your star quarterback go in the division.

Speaker 9 Yep.

Speaker 9 Now, Elijah Moore, you know where he's at?

Speaker 1 This one, I got nothing.

Speaker 9 Cleveland Browns. Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay. That makes sense.

Speaker 10 Ezekiel Elliott.

Speaker 1 Nowhere.

Speaker 9 Got it. Yeah, that's a trick question.
Okay. Ezekiel Elliott, he's been acquired by the summer.

Speaker 9 He's playing full-time for summer vibes. He's working on that life-life balance right now.

Speaker 9 I bet he's just going to come back to Dallas like week three of the preseason, be like, whatever, I'll take the veteran minimum.

Speaker 9 I'll be honest, I didn't actually sell my house, so I might as well play for you guys.

Speaker 1 Really smart move by him. Enjoy your summer, not have to worry about training camp.
Someone will sign you, and then you can just deal with that later. That's such a,

Speaker 1 he's going to have intense, intense Sunday scaries, though, the the day that he signs and has to show up to a camp.

Speaker 1 Like, that is going to be like when we were kids and seeing on TV the back-to-school shopping commercial in late August, and you're like, motherfucker, Hard Knocks is going to come out, and Ezekiel's gonna be like, Oh, fuck, yeah, I'm gonna have to go to work soon.

Speaker 1 I'm supposed to be here.

Speaker 9 He's not gonna have the belly shirt this year, I can guarantee you that. He's gonna get fat as shit this offseason.

Speaker 1 Hey, who has hard knocks?

Speaker 1 Detroit, maybe that's last year. Who has hard knocks?

Speaker 9 No, they asked Detroit to do it again. It's down to the teams that they can force to do it.

Speaker 1 Are they the Jets?

Speaker 9 Are the Jets, the Bears, the Commanders?

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. I think they probably will go with Jets.

Speaker 1 I'm going to just step aside and say

Speaker 1 that feels like it probably is going to happen, right?

Speaker 9 Yeah, as a fan of the league, I think it's probably going to be good for them to do the Jets.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'm looking. I just looked it up.

Speaker 1 According to the Detroit News, the NFL has had such a tough time finding a team that the league actually asked the Lions to return for 2023. So the answer might be the Lions.

Speaker 9 Yeah, no, I don't think that they want to do it. I mean, why would you want to do it back-to-back years? I guess it's good for the brand, good for advertising.

Speaker 9 But yeah, I think that the league, if they're smart, they're going to just tell the Jets, hey, you have to do this.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm definitely afraid of it being the Bears because

Speaker 1 we talk about it every August when you watch Hard Knocks. There's a couple players that end up doing nothing that you get hyped about and you're like, this guy's going to be incredible.

Speaker 1 And you you draft him too early and all that stuff. That's the last thing the Bears need right now.

Speaker 9 Yeah. All right.
Next player. This is the last player that I have on the list.
Patrick Peterson.

Speaker 1 Ooh.

Speaker 1 Did he go

Speaker 1 back to

Speaker 1 no, where was he last year? Was he on the Vikings?

Speaker 9 Yeah, he was on the Vikings last year.

Speaker 1 Did he go back to the Cardinals?

Speaker 9 That would make sense.

Speaker 9 Just because

Speaker 9 it would feel right, seeing him in the red and white. He is a Steeler.

Speaker 1 Oh, that that's gonna be weird because like getting a marquee name like that to then join the steelers in their secondary i feel like that doesn't really happen that much yeah okay that's a all right that's a good one that's a good one that i had no no idea so now i'll have that in my brain um all right other things before we do baseball uh

Speaker 1 i

Speaker 1 dame dame lillard i'm so sick of hearing like him doing instagram lives and dropping like little hints and will he won't he i'm just done with that i just want to declare that i'm out on just whatever happens, just have it happen and I'm cool with not even like commenting on it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Would Dame Lillard, would Dame Lillard's career be better looked at if he just stayed on the Blazers, never won anything, maybe won a couple big playoff series in like the first round based on buzzer beaters, but never really got close to sniffing a championship, but was always like the dude on those Blazers?

Speaker 9 Or would it be better if he went to a team who was like the second or third best option and then they end up getting to an NBA Finals and losing?

Speaker 9 I would say that his, I like a guy that just kind of has to deal with playing on a shit team for his entire career, but absolutely dominates when he has to.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the only problem is it's Portland.

Speaker 1 Like, if you do like a shit team and you, and you dominate, and you're a fan like hero, you'd want it to be a little bit of a bigger market than just Portland. You know what I mean?

Speaker 9 Yeah, but he would be like the best Portland Trailblazer ever. Yeah.
Clyde Drexler, and then him.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Rashid, Damon Stoddermeyer, Shottie Pippin, the Jailblazers.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I just,

Speaker 1 the only comment I have is when he does end up getting traded, I'm just going to be like, what a turncoat. No loyalty.

Speaker 1 And just do that and just go on that angle. So I'm just out on the entire storyline as it stands.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 NBA Free Agency has like a

Speaker 9 48-hour window to grab my attention. Yeah.
And outside of that, I'm like, what is Woj doing tweeting about this contract that I don't understand?

Speaker 1 Yes, it's coming up. All right.

Speaker 11 before we get to our MLB hot takes and storylines, fall's here, kids are back in school, vacations are over, and cozy season is officially on. You know what that means? Bombus season is on.

Speaker 11 Bombus makes the most comfortable socks ever, and they even make slippers, tees, underwear, all crafted from premium materials. Perfect for this time of year and cozying up for football watching.

Let's do it, boys. Let's talk some MLB.
So we

Speaker 10 preview.

Speaker 1 We've heard the criticisms.

Speaker 1 There is a lull in the summer. We have to at least address MLB.
So it's not even our preview. It's just things that have happened.
that we want people to pay attention to.

Speaker 1 PFT, do you want to start off?

Speaker 9 Yeah, yeah, I got a couple things um oh don't steal them all i won't i'll just do can i do two you could do two and if you steal two of mine i'm gonna be very mad all right the mets suck okay that wasn't one of mine point number one the mets are are garbage they uh they had one inning against the phillies

Speaker 9 where they walked three batters hit two phillies and they just had they gave up one hit but 10 batters got to the plate in a four-run eighth inning and then uh and then buck show Showwalter afterwards, he was feeling all-time pissy about everything.

Speaker 9 And they asked him who was going to start on Tuesday. And he just said, What is it with you guys knowing about things before they happen? Do you want to find out when you're going to die?

Speaker 1 Which really gave the media a lot to think about.

Speaker 12 That's great.

Speaker 9 Not a great quote from old Buck, but everyone's pissed off at him.

Speaker 9 And it kind of like speaks to a larger trend in baseball this year, which is that the teams with the highest payrolls, they are all underperforming.

Speaker 1 Yes. So

Speaker 9 it pays to be cheap in Major League Baseball.

Speaker 1 Steve Cohen, I thought Uncle Stevie was going to fix the Mets in a season.

Speaker 1 Memes,

Speaker 1 would you like to address this at all? You are a Mets fan?

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're really bad. Okay.
Yeah, really. Well said.
Well said. There you go.

Speaker 9 I'm going to use that line from Buck, by the way, when people ask me, like, what I'm doing this week, and I'll be like,

Speaker 1 why do you want to know that?

Speaker 9 Do you want to know when you're going to die?

Speaker 1 What the fuck's your problem? Yeah. Okay, your second one.
That was a good one.

Speaker 9 So I just thought about this like 30 minutes ago because I was watching some baseball on TV and I don't know how come we've never noticed this or talked about it.

Speaker 9 How come there are no black catchers in baseball?

Speaker 1 Okay. That's

Speaker 1 a second one.

Speaker 9 I feel like there hasn't been an African-American catcher in Major League Baseball in forever.

Speaker 8 And white cornerbacks.

Speaker 9 And white cornerbacks. Good call, Billy.
Jason Seahorn.

Speaker 1 Hmm. I don't know.

Speaker 9 I don't, because maybe, maybe there's some deep-seated issue that I'm not aware of about, I don't know, if there's a good black baseball player when he's a kid, they put him at a certain position like it was in football for the longest time.

Speaker 9 I don't know what it is, but it seems to me like black people, like there's no reason why there shouldn't be more black catchers.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I just looked it up, and there's a few articles that are saying, why are there no black catchers from baseball perspectives?

Speaker 1 Where are the African-American catchers MLB from the Richmond Free Press from 2020?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I hadn't thought about it, but now I am.

Speaker 9 Like how we were advocating for a white American basketball player to be drafted, which we got our wish with Grady Dick, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, no, not going one overall.

Speaker 1 What's our guy's name?

Speaker 1 From Maine.

Speaker 9 Oh, yeah, that guy. He's also got a fun name.
Fuck.

Speaker 1 Cooper Flagg.

Speaker 9 Yeah, Cooper Flag. Yeah, he's the next.
Next up.

Speaker 1 My brain is firing right now. So

Speaker 9 now that we got Cooper Flag looking like he will definitely be the number one overall pick in the NBA draft,

Speaker 9 we got to get some black catchers in baseball.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
All right. That's something that we got to think about.

Speaker 9 My son Chris asked me about that. I didn't know what to say.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you're like, hey, you remember Roy Campanella? That wasn't too long ago.

Speaker 1 Yeah. 70 years ago.
All right. Hank, you want to drop a couple on us?

Speaker 2 Yeah, sure. I have a couple.

Speaker 2 My first one is I was a year too early on the Reds. I think everyone remembers last year.
That was my preseason pick to win the whole thing, or at at least the National League.

Speaker 2 I think they came in dead last,

Speaker 2 but I was just a year early. I saw the potential.
I saw what this team had. I saw the heart.
And now they're, what are they on, an 11-game winning streak?

Speaker 1 They just lost two out of three. 12-game? Two out of three, I think, to the Braves, but they won 12 in a row.
Ellie DeLa Cruz is electric, called up, hit for the cycle on Friday.

Speaker 1 And it is, they have like one of the best farm systems in baseball.

Speaker 1 There's nothing quite like in baseball having that like everything come together where the farm system all starts like, you know, it's guy after guy after guy and the momentum builds.

Speaker 1 And you can even see it in the Reds like in their stadium like at the beginning of the year, there weren't a lot of fans.

Speaker 1 And now it's like games have this electricity to it that it's just so unique in baseball when you get on that like 10, 11 game winning streak that is kind of rare and it's fucking awesome.

Speaker 1 So yeah, the rest of the Ellie De La Cruz, Ellie De La Cruz is next.

Speaker 9 It's like him and O'Neill Cruz. The two cruises are going to be the future of baseball.
Cruise missiles coming for you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they started the season 20 and 28, and they're 41 and 37 now. So they went on a 21 and 9 run.
So they are very hot and very electric.

Speaker 2 Fun to be fun. It's also fun, yeah.
A team that's under, you know, has low expectations going on a run in the summer. That's, that's just baseball at its purest form.
It really is.

Speaker 1 It really is.

Speaker 1 It's like the Giants right now are also on like a crazy run run where they've just been ripping off wins. And

Speaker 1 there's nothing better than having that team.

Speaker 1 You just get those young guys up. When you get the young guys up, there's just nothing better.

Speaker 2 Mike Strumsky had a walk-off dong into

Speaker 2 McCovey Cole the other night. And that a walk-off dong into water is all time.

Speaker 2 It's got to be got to be the Giants or Pittsburgh, but if you can do it.

Speaker 9 You know what I love it?

Speaker 9 When the announcers talk about a team that's overperforming with a bunch of young guys, they don't know any better, Big Cat.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 They don't know that they're supposed to be bad.

Speaker 1 There is just that, that like just true excitement about it.

Speaker 1 Like, I even, it's it's loser talk, but obviously, the 2016 Cubs won it all, but the 2015 Cubs, it might have been because I went to like 60 games, but there was something about like the guys all coming up at the same time.

Speaker 1 You just get that feeling, like, holy shit, anything is possible.

Speaker 2 Yeah, uh, and then my other note was I went to my first MLB game of the year this year, huge fan of the pitch clock, was in and out of the stadium within three hours.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 2 there was a lot of every single person I told I was going to was like, the food's so good, the food's so good.

Speaker 1 It lived up to the hype.

Speaker 2 I was, I didn't know how good a ballpark food could be, but I got a brat with onions and I got some, some pizza, and it was unbelievable. So, shout out to Kaminsky or whatever it's called now.

Speaker 1 You like the pitch clock?

Speaker 1 Yeah, what part?

Speaker 2 I like being walking in the bomb and walking out less than three hours later.

Speaker 1 Hank, the White Sox have elite food and beverage. Elite.

Speaker 2 That's what everyone said. I was like, how can it be this good? And

Speaker 2 I was wrong. It was that good.

Speaker 1 They really do.

Speaker 1 They have elite food and beverage. It's just,

Speaker 1 when you go there, you're like, holy shit, that's a fucking.

Speaker 9 Yeah, when Hank told me he was going to that game, I did the thing where I just looked up ballpark food from Guaranteed Great Field and just swiped and swiped and swiped.

Speaker 9 It does look really, really good. There's a

Speaker 1 onions everywhere.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 There's some pictures of the food that they had in the London game. And it was like, look, we're doing American food.
And they had like this pale boiled hot dog with like mustard drizzled across it.

Speaker 9 It looks so watching Brits try to do American food is it's it's always funny to see.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, good. All right.
I have two. I have a third as well that I'll hold off if no one else mentions it.
My first one is

Speaker 1 as of Saturday, so Sunday it dipped a little bit below, but do you know there is a player in Major League Baseball who, as of Saturday, was hitting 400?

Speaker 9 It's not Ellie De La Cruz?

Speaker 1 It's not Ellie De La Cruz.

Speaker 3 Luis Arraez of the Marlins. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes,

Speaker 1 he was hitting 401 as of Saturday.

Speaker 1 And then I went and looked it up because the one thing that's cool about baseball is you just go look up all kinds of stats and weird historical things.

Speaker 1 So Luis Arraez, I think he's like 399 now because he went one for four today.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 in the top 80 batting average seasons, okay, so in the history of baseball, how many would you say have happened in the last

Speaker 1 since 1980? So the last whatever that is, 43 years.

Speaker 9 In the top, how many of the top 30?

Speaker 1 80 batting average seasons. Six.

Speaker 9 I would say five.

Speaker 1 Three.

Speaker 1 Three. So batting average just doesn't happen like it used to.
So George Brett hit 390 in 1980. Tony Gwynn hit 394 in 1994.
And Larry Walker hit 379 in 1990. Those are the only three in the top 80.

Speaker 1 And Luis Ariez is halfway through the season hitting 401, 399 now. It's, I mean, and he hits it everywhere.
So I read an article about it. I love this.
We did some baseball talk.

Speaker 1 But I read an article about him, and his nickname is

Speaker 1 El Rega. Regoradero.
I don't know if I said that right. El Regoradera,

Speaker 1 which means the the sprinkler. Oh, hell yeah.
That's a pretty fucking sick nickname because he just sprays it everywhere.

Speaker 9 Does he do a sprinkler celebration?

Speaker 1 I don't know if he does that.

Speaker 9 When he gets a single, yeah, just spray it around.

Speaker 1 I was watching highlights. The Marlins also have been wearing their throwbacks from when they were a new franchise in the late 90s, and those rock.
Those teal. Those are great, great uniforms.

Speaker 1 But yeah,

Speaker 1 if he ends up like,

Speaker 1 I mean, hitting 400 would be insane in this day and age.

Speaker 9 The crazy thing is, he probably, I mean, he'll probably get a good contract based off that. I don't know where he's at right now with his terms, but it's not valued like it used to be at all.

Speaker 9 Like, Tony Gwynn was a fucking superstar. Yeah.
And when he hit 394, I'm pretty sure that was a strike shortened season. So he could have gotten 400

Speaker 9 if they just let him continue.

Speaker 9 But yeah, it'd be wild to have a guy hit 400 and have him not be one of the top like five highest paid players in Major League Baseball.

Speaker 9 But going down the stretch, like like that's going to, those are going to be electric games to watch if he's still close to 400 every single at bat.

Speaker 9 That to me is, that to me is almost as good as watching like a home run chase.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. Like he is going to be must-watch TV if he keeps this up.
And even if he falls off a little, the highest batting average in this century is 372 done three times.

Speaker 1 Nomar in 2000, Todd Helton in 2000, Ichiro in 2004. So like 372, that's the highest in this century.
So, batting average, like the fact that he's hitting 400 halfway through the season is insane.

Speaker 1 The sprinkle.

Speaker 9 This is another thing that nerds have taken away from us. Yeah.
Nobody cares about batting 400 anymore. Nobody cares about the mid-range jumper, but it's always nice when it makes a little flare-up.

Speaker 9 Yes.

Speaker 1 All right. And then my other one was both central divisions suck ass.

Speaker 1 Are so, so bad. So I was looking it up.

Speaker 1 The Cubs have been up and down. They were really bad for a stretch there.
They've won a bunch in a row. They split in England.
But here's how bad both central divisions are, the AL and the NL.

Speaker 1 Both the

Speaker 1 AL Central and NL Central only have one team in each that is a plus run differential.

Speaker 1 And they are the ninth overall and the 10th overall in Major League Baseball. So the Twins are plus 34, the 9th overall.
The Cubs who are in third place have a plus 32 run differential.

Speaker 1 They're 10th overall. They also, it's so bad that the Chicago White Sox are 11 games under 500 and they're six games back.

Speaker 1 Six games back. And then in the NL Central,

Speaker 1 the Pirates are seven games under 500. They're five and a half games back.

Speaker 1 And the Cardinals are 13 games under 500 and they're eight and a half games back. So it is a dog shit, dog shit.
Obviously, the Reds have been electric recently, but those two divisions are very bad.

Speaker 9 It's the Coastal Elites.

Speaker 1 And the Angels are really good.

Speaker 9 That's another thing I wanted to tack on to. I'm going to count that as the same

Speaker 9 take as the Mets being really bad. The Angels are really good somehow.

Speaker 1 Jake, what do you have? I'm having fun. We're talking baseball.

Speaker 13 I want to piggyback on some of your guys' notes. First off, Pikachu's note about the Angels.
They won 25-1 yesterday.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Over the Rockies.

Speaker 13 25-1. That was insane.
Second, Second. Yeah, go ahead.
Sorry.

Speaker 9 Our friend online, Ryan Spader, he pointed out that the Rockies could have forfeited the game after the third inning, and it would have gone down. I think it's like a 9-0 loss.

Speaker 9 And then all the other stats would not have counted from that game, all the extra runs that the Angels put up.

Speaker 1 It's crazy. It was 23 after four innings.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 13 They could have done more. Second off, Mikai, you mentioned the Marlins teal.
So they were that Friday night home game.

Speaker 13 I'm actually at my friend's apartment in Miami right now, and look in the background. It's a ticket from their inaugural season with the teal.

Speaker 1 That's wild. That is wild.
That's truly wild.

Speaker 1 Yeah, definitely. And my take, yeah,

Speaker 13 my take is a team that didn't make the playoffs last year is going to appear in the World Series. We have a lot of new blood if you look at the standings this

Speaker 13 year.

Speaker 13 The Orioles. are 18 games over 500.
The Rangers are 47 and 30. The Marlins are in the hunt for the wild card.
You mentioned the Reds, and the Diamondbacks are in first place over the Dodgers.

Speaker 13 So there's going to be a lot of fresh faces in the playoffs this year.

Speaker 1 I like Dan Heron.

Speaker 9 Dan Heron's doing a hell of a job with the Diamondbacks this year. We got a good friend.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
I like that.

Speaker 1 Okay, Billy, you got one last one?

Speaker 8 Yankees aren't doing too well. Okay, there it is.

Speaker 9 How's Aaron Judge doing? Is he okay?

Speaker 1 Dude, he's hurt. He's hurt.

Speaker 1 Wish I'd do that one with him. I'm drafting.
Wait, don't

Speaker 1 do any spoilers. That's okay.

Speaker 2 What happened to Aaron?

Speaker 8 He ran to a gate.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Hurt his toe?

Speaker 8 Ran through a gate. Went too hard.
Yeah. We've all been there.
So, what's wrong?

Speaker 9 He's going to be back in a couple weeks, right? It's just a toe.

Speaker 8 It's unusual, apparently. That's why all the headlines say unusual injury.

Speaker 1 Okay. An unusual injury.
Unusual toe. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I had one last one, but it's.

Speaker 1 It is.

Speaker 1 I had one last one, and I think we do it enough. I think we respect Shohei Otani enough, but we'll just throw it out there because he deserves all the respect in the world.

Speaker 1 He is right now leading the MLB in five different batting categories. So he's leading, or he's tied with Matt Olson for 25 home runs.
He's leading in RBI's total bases, slugging, and OPS.

Speaker 1 And he also has a 3.13 ERA and is second in strikeouts per nine innings only to Spencer Strider from the Braves. He is modern-day Babe Ruth.
It's fucking insane that he is that good.

Speaker 1 I saw a stat, and it was maybe a little outdated because it was like a week ago, and they just did win a game by 24 runs or whatever, but it was like 16 categories that he's leading the Angels in.

Speaker 1 It's just everything.

Speaker 1 He is the best player in the world. He is incredible.

Speaker 9 So

Speaker 9 I was looking at some of his stats earlier, and it's not unfair to say that he is having the best baseball season in the history of baseball.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And he,

Speaker 9 when you look, when you break it down, he might be the best baseball player to ever step onto a diamond.

Speaker 1 It's insane. Of all time.
What were you going to say, Max?

Speaker 15 He's also in a contract year.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 15 he could get a billion-dollar contract.

Speaker 1 Like, I am so excited to see the number that he gets this offseason. Yeah.

Speaker 9 He's going to be a Met and he's going to get Tommy John surgery after a week.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Frank was right.

Speaker 1 We need to remember just Shohei next time we have Whitney on. And he's like, Connor McDavid's the best player in any sport.

Speaker 1 By the way, did you guys guys see Conor McDavids also trying to change the rules so he can maybe win a cup? He wants, which I actually like this rule.

Speaker 1 He wants to make the top of the glass rounded so the puck stays in play, like basically bubble hockey, which would rule. That would rule.

Speaker 9 How is he trying to do this? Well, he just

Speaker 9 do they let players just change change the dimensions of the playing surface?

Speaker 1 He's not like actively trying to do it. There was just a clip when he was in an interview and he said it would be really cool if that existed.
And he's right, it would be very cool. Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it also would probably help him because he's amazing and dominant.

Speaker 9 Well, he also likes to take a lot of time off the ice, so a fewer stoppages in play.

Speaker 9 He's probably just going to get gassed. He's going to get exposed.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Shohei, though.
Absolute insane, insane season.

Speaker 1 I like this. I feel like we did a good job here.

Speaker 1 I feel like we gave the listeners some things that maybe, if they're like us, maybe not watching all of baseball, just their specific teams.

Speaker 1 And that is really what it comes down to is when people are like, more baseball talk. I don't know about you guys, but I watch the Cubs.
I don't really pay attention to the rest of baseball.

Speaker 1 So this was fun for me as an exercise to go look at the rest of baseball.

Speaker 9 Yeah, most of baseball is just saying players' names. Right.

Speaker 1 That's it. And knowing what your team's doing and then being like,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 when it gets to the playoffs, like, oh, shit, that team's having a really good season.

Speaker 9 Yeah, the funnest parts about baseball are just saying different names of players and then hearing Tim Kirchin pop up once in a while to tell you about something that happened that has never happened in the history of the game.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I also, my last take, I think they should change inner league back to what it was and never have the mix.

Speaker 1 And maybe, maybe do it when the first few seasons when they mixed, but it was like you would only play like maybe like two weeks of inner league. It's too much.
That was fun. When inner league

Speaker 1 first came about, I don't even know what year that was. It was cool to be like, holy shit, never even seen these two teams play each other.
Now it's just all mixed together.

Speaker 1 It should be summertime only.

Speaker 9 Yeah, with the DH rule, it waters it down a little bit because it was also awesome to see American league pitchers having to step up to the plate and bat. Right.
That was cool. Right.

Speaker 9 They should actually change that back for interleague play. Yeah.
And Hank's right, it should be in the summertime, maybe on like 4th of July weekend.

Speaker 9 It should not, I don't want to see interleague play in mid-April.

Speaker 1 I mean, I liked the fact that in the World Series, you're like, we have no idea if the AL or the NL is better. Yeah.

Speaker 9 we'll find out now yeah is there anybody out there that's that's the rob low of the different leagues in baseball like it's just a diehard a l stand

Speaker 9 there probably are yeah well be honest when you were rooting so growing up watching tv uh and i mean you were a cubs fan i watched i didn't have like a home team so i watched the cubs and the braves growing up the braves i always felt like in the world series I was always rooting for the National League if it wasn't one of those two teams because it's like, yeah, they're representing, they're carrying the banner for our league.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and now it's just all mixed. Yeah, it's just all mixed.
Yeah, pitchers hitting. I mean, it's just, I don't know, just bring that back.
It's a dumb, dumb take, but I kind of like it.

Speaker 9 Just going in the World Series, the Yankees would get up to hit, and they put like six warm-up jackets on their pitcher because this person's never seen the inside of a batter's box.

Speaker 9 It might be super cold in there. Who knows? So they just put like all the gear on him, and he would just get up there.
The bat was never leaving his shoulder.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes, exactly.

Speaker 14 So uh i don't think they'll ever change that but that's just one dumb take from my brain uh okay good job everyone let's do who's back then we'll get to travis kelsey and mount rush more of red thing whether i'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself their platters are a hit every time they've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more and if you want to take it up a notch grab a few dips my personal favorite the blazing buffalo chicken hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 14 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 10 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd.

Speaker 14 Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Okay, who's back of the week? Hank.

Speaker 2 Who's back of the week? We just went through a bunch of mine.

Speaker 2 So I will use this time to ask my

Speaker 2 geopolitical expert friend, William Football, if is Putin back. Dude, you had a hangover during or is he is he

Speaker 1 on the outskirts?

Speaker 8 Let's just say $6.2 billion went missing in the Pentagon and someone may have got paid out.

Speaker 1 Oh shit. Oh, who got paid out?

Speaker 8 Some dude in Wagner.

Speaker 1 Hunter Biden?

Speaker 9 No, wax. It's a lot of crack.
How much crack could you buy with $6.2 billion?

Speaker 1 All of it.

Speaker 9 Enough crack to watch the world.

Speaker 1 Pick that's probably right all you could probably buy all the crack in the world yeah no it was a psyop

Speaker 8 there was a psyop okay so putin's gucci putin' gucci just did that whole thing to like make ukraine think they could take back bakhmut and then they're gonna do a pincer move on him and then the whole all nuclear issues no no concerns about the only nuclear issues would be that wagner took uh the nukes in the southern part of russia and like russia might nuke themselves that's the only nuclear issue wait they took them well they like but didn't they retreat right no they retreated and then went back to Moscow to go like take out Putin.

Speaker 1 Tell me, and PFT, I would like to chime in. Maybe

Speaker 1 I'll say to you,

Speaker 1 but like, from everything I understand, one, it was a classic case in Twitter blue check marks being like, World War III is about to happen yet again. I just sat there.

Speaker 9 You're smoking rooting for World War III, by the way.

Speaker 1 No, I'm not. No, I'm not.

Speaker 1 Everyone was sounding that alarm. Absolutely not.

Speaker 2 Back on the front lines.

Speaker 1 Absolutely not. But essentially, what it seemed like is the private army in Russia was like, boys trip to Moscow.

Speaker 1 Let's show everyone how strong we are. So they like, almost like they went outside the bar and flexed real hard.
And they're like, all right, that's what we thought.

Speaker 1 And then went back in the bar and got drunk.

Speaker 9 So

Speaker 9 my theory was similar because it's Wagner who is the paramilitary group. They're like a contractor.
It's kind of like what Blackwater was in the United States.

Speaker 9 And I think Big cat's on to something that they got hammered and they're like you know what fuck this yeah they're not respecting us enough and they went on the trip and then they sobered up halfway through the trip

Speaker 8 they did they did the same shit we really we really dug ourselves a hole here uh yeah we just go home yeah do we want to run this whole country i don't think so they've been never mind what they've been faking infighting like they're like they were they've been faking so they're duping ukraine yeah and they took bakhmut after like pretending like putin's not giving us ammo and they went and took bakhmut and then now they're doing this and they're trying to like it.

Speaker 1 So, everyone on Twitter fell for it.

Speaker 8 Yeah, it's a side, like, the thing is, if you look at the tanks and stuff in Moscow, it was like set up.

Speaker 1 Got it.

Speaker 1 But they didn't

Speaker 9 capture Moscow, right?

Speaker 8 No, they didn't. No, not a shot was fired.
They were like, we're not spilling Russian blood.

Speaker 2 What's crazy is that you have Wagner who's a helicopter get shot down?

Speaker 8 That did you see a video of a helicopter get shot down? Hang on.

Speaker 2 I saw the pictures.

Speaker 8 That's like

Speaker 2 a helicopter.

Speaker 1 I can send you a picture of one right now. It is funny.
It is funny to think that

Speaker 9 Putin is outsmarting everybody, like

Speaker 9 every high-paid general in the world, but not Billy Football.

Speaker 1 You can't fool over his eyes. Billy also got lucky because Billy was hungover throughout the entire thing and then woke up when it ended and was like, yeah, I never would have fallen for that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I was awake Friday night and I was like, oh, damn. I might not wake up because we're getting nuked.
Yeah, it was like, we're good.

Speaker 1 You were dancing with Zach Bryan. You're telling me you wouldn't have fallen for this psyop move? No, absolutely.

Speaker 8 No, the thing is, there's so much, like, the media manipulation is insane.

Speaker 1 Well, I just, I just sat there watching the Russians do.

Speaker 8 That's that's that they convinced you that they were having a civil war.

Speaker 1 So, okay, and there's so

Speaker 9 my understanding was that the head of Wagner, who is just like this fucking psycho,

Speaker 1 probably more dangerous than Putin.

Speaker 9 Yeah, he was a chef, he was like a caterer, but he's an absolute psycho. He was staying up for his boys because he's like, they're fucking my boys over too much.

Speaker 9 We're not getting enough respect in this war. I'm going to show Putin what I really think of him.
And then Putin fled the country. He went, or he flew to St.
Petersburg. And then

Speaker 9 halfway through the trip up to Moscow, the boys got sober. And then Putin put in a couple of well-placed death threats to his family and to his generals' families.

Speaker 9 And they're like, yeah, it was a prank. It was a prank.
We're just fucking with you. We were just seeing, you know, just for jokes, got a little out of hand.
And so we're going to go back home.

Speaker 9 Hopefully water under the bridge, boot.

Speaker 8 No, I mean, the thing is, like, if you look at the videos of them in, like, in the places close to Moscow, I think it's Rostov.

Speaker 8 I don't think there was a single fire, like a single shot taken. Like, there was no blood spilled.

Speaker 1 But would you have fallen for it if you were... Because

Speaker 1 you did admittedly wake up after it all ended. And you were able to be like, yeah, of course I wouldn't have fallen for that.

Speaker 8 No, well, the thing is, like...

Speaker 8 It's very it's confusing as hell. I'm actually glad that I saw it after the fact so I can see all the videos and like able to take it into account.
It's confusing.

Speaker 1 The real loser was our good friend, Uncle Chaps, who researched it extensively, wrote a blog, and then the minute the blog got posted, they were like, yeah, this is just a joke. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So he got screwed. It was funny.
I was just watching.

Speaker 1 I was sitting there on Twitter, and it basically is like two types of tweets that go off in times like this is people being like, asking like, what's up with Russia? Is this bad?

Speaker 1 And then just a bunch of people replying to that person because they had just read something a minute ago being like, well, actually, this is what's happening. No one actually knew.

Speaker 9 No one knows. But, Billy, to your point of like now, they're doing a pincer operation.

Speaker 9 Do you think that the PSYOP would have been more effective if it had lasted longer than seven hours?

Speaker 8 Yeah, but the thing is, they were able to move troops under the guise that they're doing a coupe. And now Ukraine thought they were going to Moscow, but now they're just north.

Speaker 9 There are such things as bloodless coups, though.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 9 every troop in Russia is basically fighting on the Western front in Ukraine.

Speaker 1 I mean, the whole situation

Speaker 1 is terrible.

Speaker 9 The whole situation is terrible.

Speaker 1 I mean, so do you still stand with Ukraine?

Speaker 8 Dude, I just don't want anyone to die. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Facts. We got a John Hennon over here.
I like that.

Speaker 2 The chief of Wagner is just a hilariously evil-looking dude.

Speaker 1 Well, the thing is, he's neo-Nazi. Yeah, well, Wagner Wagner.

Speaker 9 He looks like Mike Ermintraut from Britain.

Speaker 8 It's named after Hitler's favorite artist. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like, it's fucked up.

Speaker 2 I googled him because I'm like, does this guy have what it takes to take down Putin? And then I saw a picture. I was like, yep, nope.

Speaker 1 That guy looks more evil than Putin. Also, it might be.

Speaker 9 That's the thing: if this guy does take out Putin, I don't know that that would be an upgrade.

Speaker 1 Also,

Speaker 1 are you a real Hitler fan if you name your private military group after Hitler's favorite artist? Because shouldn't Hitler be your favorite artist?

Speaker 1 Shouldn't you name it your private military group, Hitler?

Speaker 8 Composer, Composer.

Speaker 2 Oh, Composer.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Composer, yeah.

Speaker 9 basically, Hitler loved this Wagner guy because it was like a great playlist for when his tanks were advancing.

Speaker 9 Like, you hand Hitler the Oxcord, he's putting on Ride of the Valkyries, and it's like, oh, yeah, we're going to stay up for 14 days and just drive through France. This rocks.

Speaker 1 Got it. And that's what this guy's trying to do.
Not, doesn't seem like a cool dude. Well, they're like, I'm going to say

Speaker 1 decidedly unchill.

Speaker 9 Well, yeah, disavow. I'm out on Wagner.

Speaker 1 The other thought we were broke. Not the

Speaker 1 college in

Speaker 1 Connecticut or Staten Island?

Speaker 1 Oh, not Staten Island.

Speaker 1 That's where Danny Hurley started.

Speaker 9 I'm out on Wagner, the security apparatus.

Speaker 1 That's how dope.

Speaker 9 Also, I'm with Billy. I don't want anybody to die.

Speaker 8 The other take was that the Pentagon paid Wagner to fight against Russia because

Speaker 8 they're a four-hire mercenary group. So whoever's the highest bidder.

Speaker 1 gets their stuff. Damn, we're teaching people a lot of shit.

Speaker 1 This actually, though, it just shows how stupid my brain is and uh how sports run everything it's just like little monkeys running around my brain just shooting hoops and like playing football because i just kept on seeing wagner and i was like oh yeah remember when danny hurley and bobby hurley were on the bench there they're like these guys are trying to take over

Speaker 9 i think that putin should just he should just give what he probably did was he gave this uh the head of wagner an ice-cold pepsi yeah like kindle jenner and he was like you know what put the yeah you're right by the way it'd be it'd be way chiller if we just broke out.

Speaker 8 Wagner tried to take an oil field in Syria, and they got the full brunt of the U.S., like, U.S. military apparatus, and they got lit up.

Speaker 1 They ain't shit. They can't fucking.
They played nobody. Wagner ain't played nobody.

Speaker 9 It was sick. I think we sent a couple F-18s at him.
Claude's.

Speaker 1 Wagner, if you're listening to this, I'm not moving out of New York until late July, but Billy, the person who just said that, is the only one staying in New York. In Manhattan.
Wagner,

Speaker 1 he's going to be here. He's the one who called you out as a fraud.

Speaker 8 Fuck, do I just tell Wagner to their face that they're not?

Speaker 1 Good who's back.

Speaker 1 Good who's back, Hank. All right, PFT, go ahead.

Speaker 9 My who's back of the week is whoa.

Speaker 9 Whoa. Just saying, just whoa, just getting woes from people because Aaron Rodgers spoke at a psychedelic conference last week out in Colorado.
Whoa. And he dropped.

Speaker 9 an all-time woe on the audience that really makes you think. He said, you know, words are so so interesting.
They have such power in their spells.

Speaker 9 In fact, that's the reason it's called spelling, because the way that letters are put together,

Speaker 9 it's got power and it's a spell.

Speaker 1 Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa.

Speaker 9 Think about it. Have you ever thought about that?

Speaker 1 Why they call it spelling? Whoa. Whoa.

Speaker 1 I want to know what hanging words. I think that was any word.

Speaker 13 Like, why is...

Speaker 1 The word kitchen, like, who decided that

Speaker 1 it would be called a kitchen?

Speaker 9 Yeah, but right now, now, you're Jake, you're casting a spell on all of us because you're using words, dude.

Speaker 1 Like, we're all a letter and civilization.

Speaker 8 It's just

Speaker 1 think about it. Yeah, whoa, yeah.

Speaker 9 The word, you know, the word playoffs has layoffs right in it. So, low-key, it inspires him to go home every year.

Speaker 1 Whoa, dude, whoa, chill like you're retired, of course. Like, whoa, yeah, whoa, whoa.
Um, all right, that's good. Who's back? We're getting deep on this show.
Uh, my who's back is uh, Stephen F.

Speaker 1 Austin bowling.

Speaker 1 So, probably haven't thought about Stephen F. Austin bowling.

Speaker 1 They're back. They're back.

Speaker 1 Well, they're back in the news. So they've gotten really good, I guess, at bowling.

Speaker 1 The women's bowling team, might I add.

Speaker 1 But they just lost their assistant coach

Speaker 1 for his name is, let's see, what was his name?

Speaker 8 Doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 No, Steve Lemke was his name. He got fired.
He's assistant coach for Stephen F. Austin Women's Bowling for having a consensual sexual relationship with one of the players.

Speaker 1 Only issue is the head coach of Stephen F. Austin Bowling is his wife.
So

Speaker 1 yeah, not great. But technically,

Speaker 9 to be fair, she was kind of asking for her husband to cheat on her because she was basically asking him to help coach the team and left her around the players so often that something was going to happen.

Speaker 9 I read this guy's quotes.

Speaker 1 This guy is next next level delusional about everything. Yeah, I have it right here.
He said,

Speaker 1 I was the stay-at-home dad for five years with the kids. Well, Amber got to go off and coach the team, and then she'd get back.
I'd run practices on top of taking care of the kids while she was back.

Speaker 1 When they travel again, I would sit back and take care of the kids. Then, when I got hired on, she almost forced me to run practices.

Speaker 1 I was a volunteer the entire time before that, trying to help out Amber. Once I got hired on, one thing stemmed from another.
I felt like I was doing too much for what I was being valued at. So

Speaker 1 he basically, yeah, it's, I mean, he was, he had to be the stay-at-home dad and a bowling coach.

Speaker 9 Yeah. So listen, he was a stay-at-home dad.
He basically had to fuck one of his players.

Speaker 1 It's bullshit. So he got

Speaker 1 complete bullshit.

Speaker 1 My other who's back is Bob Barker, not dead. So he trended, I don't know why, all day.
But that one, I'm just, I'm fearful every time I see him trending. And also weightlifting because RFK Jr.

Speaker 1 just decided to do fucking beasts. Is he?

Speaker 8 I mean, he's 70 years old.

Speaker 1 It was one feet. He's 110 pounds.
We don't know. We don't know.
He did nine push-ups. Inclined.
He was in jeans. Incline.
Listen, you put him up against Biden or Trump.

Speaker 1 He looks like the strongest man in the world.

Speaker 8 Look, there's a very low bar.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. That's exactly what I'm saying.
So he just decided to just drop like some sick tapes all weekend.

Speaker 9 Yeah, he's got to be on TRT, right?

Speaker 8 I don't know. He's sober.

Speaker 1 The push-ups are tough.

Speaker 9 Look at his nipples, Billy. Can you give us a breakdown right now of RFK Jr.'s nipples?

Speaker 8 I don't have it in front of me.

Speaker 1 I don't know what it is. You're at a computer.

Speaker 8 Okay. He does.
He might have some

Speaker 1 A triple.

Speaker 2 He looks Billy's already checked. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Listen,

Speaker 9 RFK Jr. is not the kind of guy that would inject something into his body if he didn't know what was in it, right, Billy?

Speaker 1 I also liked it.

Speaker 1 That push-ups, those push-ups were tough.

Speaker 1 And then you had people defending them being like, well, it was after a full chess workout.

Speaker 1 Dude,

Speaker 8 when you gas out, when you gas out, like, you can get out of here.

Speaker 1 I understand, but not.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I gased out before Bill.

Speaker 1 That's like a political 101. You can't go down and start doing shirtless push-ups unless you can at least get 20.

Speaker 8 He's gassing out.

Speaker 1 Dude, the dude's built. Yeah, he's built.
Baby cat's right.

Speaker 1 There's a couple rules.

Speaker 9 If you're campaigning, you should, one, never shoot a basketball. Yep.
Two, you should never eat a corn dog because the Photoshops.

Speaker 9 And then three, if you're doing push-ups, it should be your first set of push-ups that you do.

Speaker 1 Yes. And four, never get in a tank.

Speaker 9 Yeah, never get in a tank and put on a funny-looking helmet.

Speaker 1 Yeah, those are, yeah, it's actually, there is a rule like

Speaker 1 presidents abide, but never put anything on your head because you'll look stupid as fuck. You're going to look dumb.

Speaker 9 And then just the meme possibilities. Yeah.
Oh, and don't get on an airplane to Little St. James Island.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 8 I'm going to be president one day.

Speaker 1 Okay. Makes me sick.

Speaker 9 Probably. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Just you guys wait.

Speaker 1 There aren't tapes that we can release that will stop that.

Speaker 8 No.

Speaker 8 No, they actually might help me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, actually, no, you're right. They would help you.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 There was a, there was one quote that RFK Jr.

Speaker 9 had today when they asked him about like being president, and he said that he would inspire millions of Americans to take their health more seriously because he's in such good shape. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Love that. Yeah.
I still don't understand the jeans.

Speaker 8 Working out in jeans. He's got small calves.

Speaker 1 Psycho.

Speaker 9 I was going to say he's probably got he's got skinny legs, small quads.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So

Speaker 1 we just need a new presidential candidate who respects squat day.

Speaker 9 Yeah,

Speaker 9 I want to see a presidential. I want to see Nikki Haley in the squat rack with all the boys around her clapping it up when she maxes out like it's a college football tape.

Speaker 1 She's putting up Jalen Hurts numbers.

Speaker 1 Okay, Billy.

Speaker 8 My who's back is Swag Kelly.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 8 He's balling up north. He's balling fucking hard.

Speaker 1 That's our guy.

Speaker 8 And he's fucking Swag Kelly.

Speaker 14 How hard is he balling?

Speaker 8 So goddamn hard.

Speaker 1 Motherfuckers want to find him. Do you have any stats?

Speaker 8 He's just throwing touchdowns, winning games. Oh, okay.
That's all you got to know.

Speaker 1 No balling. He's swag, bro.
Oh, you want another random NFL name?

Speaker 2 What team is he on?

Speaker 1 Toronto. Argonauts.
Do you want another random NFL team, guy? Trace McSorley.

Speaker 9 Trace McSorley

Speaker 9 throws on a dime.

Speaker 1 Yep. Trace McSorley is a

Speaker 1 saint. He's a patriot, I believe.

Speaker 8 Oh, shit. It's over.

Speaker 1 I believe he's a patriot. I want to say he is.
I feel like I said,

Speaker 1 this is bad that I don't even know the answer to my own question.

Speaker 1 I like that you were just like, let me just say the rhyme real quick. Yeah, he's a patriot.

Speaker 1 The rhyme will trigger this in my brain, throws it on a dime.

Speaker 8 Myler Hughes back is Chief Keith. He performed Fenetto on the BET Awards.
That's just the hypest song ever.

Speaker 9 Nice.

Speaker 8 So shout out Chief Keefe. He's been doing it since he's been 16.
I think that was like 15 years ago.

Speaker 1 What about Billy Entertaining Clients? Can we get a song?

Speaker 8 Yeah, so who's back? Zach Bryan.

Speaker 9 So Zach Bryan's sick.

Speaker 8 He just makes the best music out right now.

Speaker 8 He's cooking up an album right now in the lab.

Speaker 8 I don't know when he's going to release it. I just know he's done making it.

Speaker 8 Saw him at Forest Hills.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 just say it, Billy. You went on stage.

Speaker 8 I danced like no one was watching on stage in front of a bunch of people, and I don't regret it, but I'm sorry if you guys saw that.

Speaker 1 You shouldn't regret any of it. It ruled.
Yeah, Billy.

Speaker 9 It's cool to like things, Billy.

Speaker 1 Dude, it was sick. The air guitar was awesome.
I cried too hard. I went way too hard.
I cried in a John Mayer solo on Wednesday.

Speaker 1 You performed.

Speaker 8 Joe Rogan didn't sing All-Night Revival when he was on stage? I did. That's the difference.
Hell yeah. Rogan pussied out.
This podcaster didn't.

Speaker 9 Whatever.

Speaker 9 Rogan's soft. Rogan runs like a bitch.
Exactly. Billy's Gronk.
Rogan's Travis Kelsey.

Speaker 1 You got him.

Speaker 8 It was so awesome. Check out Zach Bryan if you haven't.

Speaker 8 I think he's the best artist ever.

Speaker 1 My generation. Wagner.
Ever. And your generation.
My generation.

Speaker 2 Chief Keith or Zach Bryan.

Speaker 8 Fuck. He's a different generation.
Chief Keith's way older.

Speaker 8 Zach Bryan's like 27. Chief Keith's like 35, bro.
He was like 16 when he started recording music.

Speaker 2 No. No way.
I think it's like 28.

Speaker 1 35.

Speaker 8 No, I think Chief Keefe is old because I was in 77.

Speaker 1 He's 27 years old.

Speaker 1 He's 27 27 years old. Well, Chief Keith.
Literally the exact same generation. Shit.

Speaker 1 I also like the generations in Billy's mind are like five years. Yeah.

Speaker 8 But yeah,

Speaker 1 it's just like... Don't be ashamed.

Speaker 8 It's so crazy. No, Zach Brad's awesome, Billy.

Speaker 9 Don't be ashamed of it. He's a good artist.
Nothing wrong with loving Zach Brad.

Speaker 8 He's a homie, too.

Speaker 8 He's just a dude. Yeah.

Speaker 8 And shout, everybody.

Speaker 9 Shout out, Jay.

Speaker 8 Everybody.

Speaker 8 Shout out.

Speaker 2 You want us all to shout him out? Is that what you just said?

Speaker 8 No, but

Speaker 1 shout out Jay. Shout out Jay.
I guess. Shout out Jay.
Shout out to Jay. Shout out Jay.
Shout out Jay.

Speaker 8 But

Speaker 1 last thing.

Speaker 9 I love being part of Billy's Inside Joke.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's like him and one other guy. It just brings it to this podcast.
But I'm just saying,

Speaker 8 it's just when you see videos of yourself dancing and you're just like, that's how I fucking dance.

Speaker 2 Holy shit.

Speaker 1 I need to put away.

Speaker 9 That's exactly how I thought you would dance.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we all dance like that. We all look like fucking clowns.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 it was bad.

Speaker 8 I just never realized realized it till it was thrown in my face.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. Jake, finish us off, then we'll get to Travis Kelsey.

Speaker 13 My who's back is feeling short.

Speaker 13 There's this viral picture of Victor Wembanyama with Spurs Legends, and they all look very, very short next to him.

Speaker 1 Yes, Tim Duncan and

Speaker 1 David Robinson. I did a double take.
I was like, wait, that's Tim Duncan? It's crazy.

Speaker 9 Tim Duncan looks like he's loving life right now. Yes.
He's the most mellow dude ever. But yeah, there's a chance Victor Wimbenyama is still growing.
Yeah. He might have another couple inches in him.

Speaker 1 By the way, PFT, I think you just stumbled upon, like, does Tim Duncan have the best life of any

Speaker 1 guy who has multiple rings and dominated the NBA? Because no one ever

Speaker 1 has to debate Tim Duncan's legacy. He never gets thrown into it.
It's just universally accepted that he was awesome.

Speaker 9 Yeah,

Speaker 9 I bet he still goes out to the YMCA and just dominates, puts up like 40 points, going high glass. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Tim Duncan, what a life.

Speaker 1 Also, Bears fan, which is a thing that always blows my mind. I remember way back in the day, I sent him a Jay Cutler shirt.
I don't think he ever wore it, but I sent it to him.

Speaker 8 I raise your Tim Duncan and give you a Mike Trout.

Speaker 1 Mike Trout, that's pretty awesome. I don't know, dude.
World Championships. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, but like... He's never been to the playoffs.

Speaker 8 You have a Mike Trout, rich, no one knows him, still gets the ball out under the lights.

Speaker 9 That's pretty sick. Low-key, I think Mike Trout might might be bummed out that he has to miss Eagles games because he's going to be in the playoffs this year.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. They'll find a way to fuck that up.

Speaker 9 It'll be like when Deion flew back and forth between the Braves and the Falcons, or whoever it was at the time. I think he was all the Braves, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 And yeah, except it's going to be Trout just like attending Eagles games.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I also think the Angels are not technically in the playoffs right now.
Ooh. Yeah, they're a game out of the wild card right now.
Dude, just getting paid and

Speaker 1 work that much.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but the argument was winning debate, winning, winning championships.

Speaker 16 I'm talking lifestyle.

Speaker 8 Like, how many, he works way less than other players that go into the playoffs?

Speaker 1 Okay. Ton of cash.
Tony Snell. Tony Snell's made like over $100 million, and he just, I guess he's memed a lot.

Speaker 9 J.R. Smith.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 That's a good one. J.R.
Smith's got a good life. Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of guys who got good fucking lives.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's get to Travis Kelsey, and then we have the Mount Rushmore of Red Things after Travis Kelsey.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, very, very special guest. Okay.
Two-time Super Bowl champion. It is Travis Kelsey in the flesh.

Speaker 1 First of all, congrats on the Super Bowl. Has it worn off yet? I mean, can you say congrats on the Super Bowl? It's like saying Happy New Year in like February.

Speaker 3 It kind of got revisited because of the ring ceremony, but I've kind of been past that for about a month now, a month or two. There's been some crazy doors that have opened since then.
Yes.

Speaker 3 That kind of, you know, you keep reliving it. But other than that, though, man, I'll take it.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 Okay, yeah. Congrats on the Super Bowl.
Do you respect the Lombardi trophy? Because there was a conversation.

Speaker 3 Oh, yes, the real one for sure.

Speaker 1 There we go. The real one for sure.
When that went viral of you spiking the fake Lombardi trophy, people got mad.

Speaker 1 Did they?

Speaker 3 Yeah, they weren't too happy.

Speaker 3 I just thought it was like in terms of the theatrics of the show because it was at the Kelsey Jam, the idea I kind of got from Gronk and Gronk's Beach and Shaq and Shaq's funhouse.

Speaker 3 And I thought, you know, just like doing a Lombardi luge, chugging off of the Lombardi and then spiking it would get the people going. Didn't really get the people going as much as I thought it would.

Speaker 1 A lot of people got on my ass about disrespecting it.

Speaker 9 People that thought that it was the real trophy. Are idiots.

Speaker 1 Yeah. They're born.
Not us.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we knew right away. We knew right away.

Speaker 9 I know Travis. He would not do that to the real thicks.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 3 Are you guys fucking with me? No, no.

Speaker 1 We actually did defend you right away. There was

Speaker 1 some people named Billy Football. Some people named Will Compton.

Speaker 3 Billy Football's been on my ass. Yeah, he has.

Speaker 1 We're going to get to that to Billy in a second.

Speaker 9 We can't bring Billy in right off the bat.

Speaker 1 That's too hot for people. People have to be like, what the fuck? You have Travis Kelsey and Billy Football's saw.

Speaker 9 What were you going to say at the White House when you took the mic?

Speaker 3 I honestly,

Speaker 3 I joked around with doing it at the rehearsal. And

Speaker 3 I was just, I've always wanted to

Speaker 3 just address the United States like a president would.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? Like you can do it right now.

Speaker 3 To my fellow Americans.

Speaker 3 And then I was like, I didn't have anything after that. Yeah.
So I was an opportunity to say, like, so I told him, I was like, hey, don't let me, don't leave me up there on the stand too long if I,

Speaker 3 you know, decide to walk up there.

Speaker 3 He got to be out of there before I could even fucking say anything.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he had your back.

Speaker 3 He was smart on this. It's either that or Secret Service is about to be on my ass.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Although they would have been like, oh, someone's standing in front of the mic that actually is awake for a change.

Speaker 1 Okay, that didn't land.

Speaker 9 Did you look around to make sure there are no wires next to the house?

Speaker 1 Listen, man,

Speaker 3 we were just making sure that, you know, Mr. President was just, you know, standing on his feet up there, baby.
Yeah. You know what I mean? Tell him high knees when he's going up the steps.

Speaker 1 yep let him know what i mean yeah you know what i mean sometimes we all get to get coached up every now and then you know what i mean so speaking of which we're at tight end you uh is this your first year coming here uh third year third year oh i didn't know if you were coming every single year but third year this happening you're giving a presentation though yeah and uh what so what are what are you gonna teach everyone because you are at the top of the game you're the number one tight end um what are you hoping to help everyone else out with um i honestly i uh i think where i fit in this world world, because George is going to talk a lot about the blocking, Greg's going to talk about just being a professional and just the tight end that

Speaker 3 kind of like just pointers he can give from here and there just on the entire grand scheme of things.

Speaker 3 And I really fit in just in terms of route running, really, and I can kind of give my two cents on that. And

Speaker 3 I think there's certain things that you can do as a professional

Speaker 3 that can really help you enhance your creativity in route running.

Speaker 3 But so I'm going to try and give some nuggets of gold to the tight ends here, right?

Speaker 1 So you're obviously your route running is incredible, but your like ability with Patrick to be like lockstep, some of those clips that came out after the season where it's like you telling him, hey, look, I'm going to do this and like be ready for it.

Speaker 1 Is that something that like is a superpower in terms of when you're playing against a defense, knowing that like, hey, whatever we are thinking, no one else can think this?

Speaker 3 I mean, I like to think we got something going on in KC that's a little different.

Speaker 3 A lot of it just stems off of just getting reps with your guys, getting out there practicing, OTAs, preseason, all that shit.

Speaker 3 And I just, you just start to accumulate like a feel for what the quarterback likes to do or like where he likes to kind of get you the ball in terms of certain coverages versus certain route concepts and shit like that.

Speaker 3 So it's just.

Speaker 3 You know, I like to say there's a lot to it, but at the end of the day, it's just you do so many reps. It's whatever feels and

Speaker 3 kind of your instincts take over, whatever just feels like it's the right thing to fucking do in that moment. Like, whatever makes sense, essentially.

Speaker 9 It's awesome to watch.

Speaker 1 Like, when you guys have that ability to, like, you, he knows where you're going to be, you know, where you're going to be. You can't defend it.
I don't know how you defend it.

Speaker 3 It feels unstoppable when it's rolling, baby.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it does.

Speaker 9 The other thing I love watching you do, and you're like the only player that does this on a consistent basis. You always look for that last-minute lateral before you get tackled.
Yeah.

Speaker 9 You're always, I'm on the record saying that that shit's going to change football once more players start to do that There's so many times where you I can tell you you're thinking about it and you decide not to at the last minute But when you pull it off, it usually works Yeah,

Speaker 3 I'm like 50-50 right now for at least I haven't turned the ball over yet doing it. Yeah, so it hasn't completely fucked me But I just feel like this is the most underused rule in the game.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 3 You know being able to lateral the ball get it out of your hands so another guy can take off I mean shit.

Speaker 9 Yeah, the way that tacklings coach at the NFL level, it's you swarm to the ball.

Speaker 1 to the ball. That means that your guys are going to be open.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 But it's, yeah.

Speaker 3 Just testing the waters is the hard part because you know if you don't fucking get it or if like it's not a huge gain, like you did it, you like, let's say a lateral guy catches it and gets like two extra yards.

Speaker 3 So it's like, why the fuck did you just risk the ball turning the ball over for it? So it's like trying to balance that and at the same time, making sure that everybody's always ready for the ball.

Speaker 9 You ever get any shit from that? Like from Coach Reed? Is he like, why are you doing this?

Speaker 3 Don't fucking do it again.

Speaker 3 It was one of those, like the first time i did it was uh was the lions in 2017

Speaker 3 17 or 18 and uh i pitched it to lasha mccoy shady yeah and shady took off for an extra like 20 25 yards and i come to the sideline and coach reed just kind of looked at him like kind of like staring from a distance like oh shit is he gonna fucking give me the eye like i would i know i shouldn't have fucking did that and he uh he comes up to me after the game and he goes

Speaker 3 Imagine if we did that every play.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 It's just like my mind just like opened up to like possibilities, dude. Just always know who's behind you.

Speaker 3 Know where the flat guy is. Know where the running back's check down is.
And just like always have that in the back of your mind that, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 You're allowed to do it as long as you complete it.

Speaker 1 That's a credit to Andy Reid because you'd think most coaches would be like, don't ever do that again. But he's like, well, now we've unlocked something.

Speaker 1 What's your favorite Andy Reid story or like saying that he has for the team? We love Andy Reid.

Speaker 3 My favorite saying is show your personality, man. The guy has such a fun personality in the building.
I think the media kind of dulls that down.

Speaker 3 He doesn't give the media too much, but when you're in the building with him, man, it is a, it's almost like a comedy show, man. He, he has one-liners and just his, uh, his intellect is crazy.

Speaker 3 His, the span of stuff that he knows is just, it blows my mind. And, um,

Speaker 3 yeah, show your personality is probably my favorite thing that he says because he kind of just let me feel comfortable in the building. Um,

Speaker 3 a good memory. Um, I mean, shit, speaking of laterals, I tried to lateral it twice actually in the Bengals AFC Championship game.
And I mean, it's the biggest game of the year up to that point, right?

Speaker 3 So I'm fucking

Speaker 1 screwing around with the ball. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 I'm over here throwing it. One barely got to a running back.
It trickled to him. It like hit the ground and like trickled to him.
And then the second time is right before two minute.

Speaker 3 And I'm like looking at the guy thinking he might be able to get out of bounds because I can't. And I ended up holding on to it.
And Coach Reed comes right up to me.

Speaker 1 He's like, Stop it.

Speaker 1 And I was just like, I knew exactly what you're talking about.

Speaker 9 You can see that you got the eye of the tiger.

Speaker 1 You're trying to pitch that ball back every time.

Speaker 3 I'm trying to keep this thing alive, baby. Yeah.

Speaker 9 He wears shorts like all the time, doesn't he?

Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah.
He wears,

Speaker 3 yeah, I don't think I've seen him in pants other than on way trips. Even if it's like five degrees outside, he'll have a big old jacket on and some shorts.

Speaker 9 He's a football guy.

Speaker 1 I love that. At the end of the day.

Speaker 9 That Bills Chiefs game, we were all watching. Maybe one of the greatest innings to any game ever played.
Besides the way it was the Nuggets, Lakers.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, Western Carver's final game. Game one.
Game game.

Speaker 9 But at the end of that game, 13 seconds left. Did you know that you were going to win the game just when you got the ball back? You're like, oh, yeah, we have me and Patrick Mahomes on this team.

Speaker 3 We knew what was possible, and what was possible is we could get in field goal range and take this thing in OT.

Speaker 3 There was definitely no doubt that we could do that.

Speaker 3 The thing is, in KC, the coaching staff does such a great job of giving guys that confidence by

Speaker 3 teaching guys what's possible. So every single Saturday, we got our coach Joe Blaymeyer pulling up two-minute drills for before half and end of game.

Speaker 3 And he just goes over scenarios on what could happen. I'm talking about high school games to college games all over Division I to Division, whatever.

Speaker 3 And he just brings in these crazy footages of like Cal Stanford, the band is on the field, like all these fucking bizarre fucking games that you would think aren't even possible.

Speaker 3 And he shows them and it's like, dude, they did this in like 13 seconds. Like that shit is real.

Speaker 3 So as long as you guys are locked in and we're doing the things that we need to be doing, you know what I mean? We're never out of it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was incredible.

Speaker 3 It was. So it's a lot.
It's, I mean, obviously Pat Mahomes, anything is possible with Pat Mahomes.

Speaker 3 But yeah, you, you add Andy Reid and his coaching staff into things and guys just, you know what I mean? We're, we're never out of it, man.

Speaker 9 Can you, uh, can you gas me up on B enemy?

Speaker 1 Summon Commander. Oh, yeah, baby.
You guys are getting a dog. Dog? A dog.
A dog? A dog.

Speaker 3 He's going to fire up that team, man.

Speaker 3 I think he's awesome for the core group of guys that you got. I'm sure you can ask Logan Thomas a few things since he's had his little offseason with him so far.

Speaker 3 But I think what Bienemy does better than a lot of coaches is he's very organized. He's going to make sure that guys know what they're doing.

Speaker 3 And you'd be surprised how many guys go out there on the football field and are just fucking running running around yeah i mean you could you can be an athlete but at the same time if you really want to get good at this game you got to you got to have some sort of witch to you and knowing what's going on the scenarios and uh the certain situations that you'll have in the game and eb man he uh he's every bit of that 13 seconds and making sure that we know what we're going to do and how we're going to do it and i think that he brings that to every single team that he'll ever be on so You're a number one tight end in the league, incredible tight end, incredible player, but are there any moments where maybe you're like giving Patrick Mahomes a hug and you just hold on a little bit extra tight where you're like, thank you for coming in my life.

Speaker 1 Like, thank you.

Speaker 1 I love you.

Speaker 3 You know what? I might need to, man. I might need to, dude.

Speaker 1 Just a little extra second. Just hold on a little extra second, being like, I just love you so much.

Speaker 3 After that Bills game was probably one of them, but definitely after this Eagles game. That was getting number two, man.

Speaker 3 There's something about that second Super Bowl that just makes you feel like, you know what I mean, this is what you fucking fucking do, man.

Speaker 1 It's legacy territory. It is.
It's like for you, for Andy, for Patrick Mahomes. Like, and he really is that special.

Speaker 1 And it's like, yeah, if I were you, I would just like never leave him out of my sight.

Speaker 3 I mean, I've been there 10 years going on 11, and you could feel like the different eras change throughout it all. I'm like, I'm the last of the Mohecans, man.

Speaker 3 I'm the only one, only player left from that 2013 draft class or that 13 team when Coach Reed came in. And

Speaker 3 to go from that 2-14 season in 2012 that I wasn't there, but to see just the culture change, both in the front office, you bring in these star players, and all of a sudden Patrick Mahomes comes.

Speaker 3 And it's just

Speaker 3 everybody just gets electrocuted

Speaker 3 and possibilities are endless. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 How soon did you know after he was on the team? Like what practice was it where you were? Oh, this guy's different.

Speaker 3 Honestly, his best plays might have been on that scout team going against the number one defense his rookie year. The shit he was doing in those in those practices was mind-blowing.

Speaker 3 He had no like filter. He was just out there like, oh, well, this doesn't matter.
I can just throw it over here.

Speaker 3 Just right at this, the defense is just demoralized in practice. They're like, what the fuck? This kid's dicing us up right now.
And you know what I mean? And then all these are scouted looks.

Speaker 3 We know what's coming. And

Speaker 3 once I saw him do it week after week after week, and then he finally went in against the Denver Broncos, a game that we were already had the number one seed in the playoffs and everything.

Speaker 3 They put Pat in to just get his feet wettest rookie year. They sat Alex because we already had the one seed.
So he

Speaker 3 plays flawless the entire game. We end up putting our backup in.
Our backup fumbles the ball or throws an interception, and Denver actually gets back into the lead. And we need a two-minute drill

Speaker 3 to win the game. Well, Pat goes back out there after being...

Speaker 3 in like five-degree weather on the sidelines, just chilling for a quarter, goes back in and just walks him right down the field and that was denver's number one defense yeah that was their first team defense because they were still i mean they were still in the hunt or i know they were they were still playing their ones so it was like when i saw that i was like yeah no all right he can translate what he does in practice onto the field and just be as good so after you win the second super bowl and you do the parade you had the speech basically being like and no one picked us and people did people didn't pick us to make the playoffs who the hell were you talking about i have one guy in mind but do you can you tell me who you were talking about?

Speaker 3 I mean, it was really, it wasn't necessarily once we got in the playoffs, because once we got in the playoffs, we were a different team.

Speaker 3 Everyone saw that we could still, you know, put up touchdowns and move the ball. It was really in the offseason.
So I should have been a little bit more clear about that.

Speaker 3 But I heard a lot of people kind of shitting on the fact that, you know,

Speaker 1 Tyreek was gone.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you know, I mean, and I get it.

Speaker 1 Tyreek is fucking Tyreek Hill, man.

Speaker 3 You lose a guy like that.

Speaker 3 That's a lot of production that you got to find an answer for. And And yeah, I just knew that we had a great team and that we had Pat Mahomes and

Speaker 3 Andy Reid. And yeah, so I just, I don't know.
All I could remember was being in April and May and June and how everybody was saying that the Chiefs weren't going to be the Chiefs anymore.

Speaker 1 Okay, because we do have one co-worker who claims that he is,

Speaker 1 I think his official title is VP of Football Operation at Barstool Sports, Stephen Shea. He's a moron.
He picked the Chiefs last last year.

Speaker 1 He finished last in the division, nine and eight. So he obviously was like, oh, Travis Kelsey called me out.
I was like, I think you're such a moron. He didn't even know who the fuck you are.

Speaker 1 I have no idea. Okay, good.
Thank you. You're fucking dead last.
God damn it. Dead last.

Speaker 1 How stupid is that? We've made the joke now.

Speaker 9 I don't think you guys are any good.

Speaker 1 You know what it is? Do you know what it is, though? It's in media, because this happens to us and it happens to everyone. They just get so tired of picking the same thing.

Speaker 1 So they're like, I'm going to be different. I'm going to say the Raiders.
No, no, we're now, we've started doing this in the last like year and a half with you guys.

Speaker 1 Like, preview for AFC West next year, right now, Chiefs win. Done.
I'm in. Okay.
Yeah. Like, it's why do we always doubt just because we want to be different? No, I think everybody's got a job.

Speaker 1 One in 16.

Speaker 8 I don't think you guys can do it.

Speaker 1 One in 16. Yeah, who do you guys have on your team?

Speaker 3 The real question is, who is the one team that we beat?

Speaker 1 Well, I think you do play the Paris. I know you actually

Speaker 9 beat the Broncos twice because you always beat the Broncos twice. So I'll say two, yeah, two in 15 is going to be record.
I mean, you lost Bienname.

Speaker 1 So that's true. There you go.

Speaker 1 There you go. You guys can't do anything without Bienneme.

Speaker 3 That's a big.

Speaker 3 I mean, he's a mentality kind of guy, man. He brings a mentality.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Can we talk about the Super Bowl real quick?

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 at what point during the week did they tell you that the grass would be that way so you guys could prepare and the Eagles couldn't?

Speaker 3 It was really just Sunday. Sunday, you kind of went out there and you started running around like, all right, this is a little slick.

Speaker 1 Okay. I don't believe you.

Speaker 1 And then when you win,

Speaker 1 did you feel bad for your brother at all?

Speaker 3 Dude,

Speaker 3 it was a weird feeling at the end of that game, man, because you see,

Speaker 3 been around the Eagles enough, know the coaches, know the players. They treat me like family whenever I'm there.
When Jason comes to KC, it's the same thing.

Speaker 3 It's very like, you know, very, a whole lot of respect for a lot of guys over there. You see Pat Mahomes, you're like, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 And then you see my brother and it's just like, fuck, dude, I've lost a Super Bowl before, man. I know how this shit fucking feels.
Fuck that.

Speaker 3 yeah and then you see andy reed and you're all you're back up on the top of the roller coaster and then you know what i mean you see lane johnson and you're just oh fuck man that's that's kind of sucked like so it was like a up and down an up and down the entire time and it was like man how the fuck am i supposed to feel about this right now right because you know i was i was there crying in what was it 2017 when the eagles fucking won it in minnesota i was in fucking tears of joy and it's just like i don't know it was uh it was a it was a roller coaster of emotion for sure.

Speaker 1 Now, have you, have you tested the waters yet with like, you know, maybe at your, you know, family's house, obviously Thanksgiving hasn't happened yet, but maybe 4th of July and just giving them the look like, yeah, I won a Super Bowl against you.

Speaker 3 No, that motherfucker's crazy.

Speaker 3 I ain't barking up that tree, man. That's a bear you don't want to poke, man.

Speaker 1 That's funny because I remember, I think we asked, I think we asked John Harbaugh that, like, hey, did you, have you ever like given the look to your brother? Like, I got one on you.

Speaker 1 And he's like, no, no.

Speaker 1 He'll like hold my head underwater or something.

Speaker 3 Yeah, dude. That's one game you don't want to fuck around with, man.
That's a Super Bowl game, dude. Fuck that.

Speaker 9 Yeah, it's interesting because I think I forget where we were. I think maybe we were in at Chris Long's place or somewhere in Philadelphia, and

Speaker 9 Jason came over and he kind of walked us through a little bit of your guys' childhood where it's like he played hockey and you played basketball. Yeah.
And then he went on to become offensive lineman.

Speaker 9 You went on to become a tight end.

Speaker 9 And that's probably where the crazy aspect comes from. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Being a hockey player out there.

Speaker 9 So so you think he would still beat your ass?

Speaker 1 What? Yes.

Speaker 3 The man is one of the strongest human beings I've ever met. And on top of that, he still has a little bit of that anger management that he had when he was a kid.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 But you can outrun him.

Speaker 3 Dude, have you seen him run?

Speaker 1 Really?

Speaker 1 He's a fucking...

Speaker 1 He's good. He's good with angles.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 Like, he's going to...

Speaker 1 Endurance.

Speaker 3 I might have the endurance side of things, but I don't know, man. That dude's fucking quick.

Speaker 9 So what do you think is more challenging, being a podcaster or being a football player?

Speaker 3 Podcaster. Yeah.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 Podcast. It's the hardest job in the world.

Speaker 3 Hardest job in the fucking world, dude. Honestly, to keep coming out with content that people want to hear.

Speaker 1 Uh-huh. Yeah.
Fuck. Yeah.
Congrats, by the way. Your podcast has been great.
Thank you, man. But yeah, what are you going to plan on winning the Super Bowl every year to keep it at the top?

Speaker 1 I think that's the plan, man. You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 Hopefully, Jason and the Eagles can meet us up over there and we can keep freaking putting this Chiefs team together.

Speaker 3 I honestly jumped into the game, the podcast game, not knowing what the fuck it was even really about or, you know, how things were even going to like transpire.

Speaker 3 But obviously, with the Super Bowl and everything, it's just taken off. And we got quite the following because of the entire year, man.

Speaker 1 Did you hit that wall? Because whenever we've been doing it for a long time, it's obviously our job. But we'll have people reach out being like, oh, I'm thinking about starting a podcast.

Speaker 1 I'm like, just wait till like episode four when you've run out of all your stories. You're like, oh, I have to do this again.

Speaker 1 Did you have that where it's like, okay, now we're talking about something different?

Speaker 3 Dude, thankfully, my brother is a hell of a storyteller and he just has him banked.

Speaker 3 I can't remember what the fuck happens until

Speaker 3 he tells a story. I'm like, damn, that did happen.

Speaker 1 Like, I'm the worst when it comes to this shit.

Speaker 3 My brother is really the one driving it. And

Speaker 3 he tells a story like none other. So I didn't necessarily hit the wall, but.

Speaker 3 I'm sure there was a little bit of, there was an up and down there of just, you know, trying to balance out during the season and trying to find ways to do the podcast because it's just, it's hard just trying to find that time at week in, week out, especially you know, going through the wins and the losses.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Um, should we have Billy come and say his piece? Yeah, Billy, come on in.
So, yeah, come on, Billy.

Speaker 9 It's interesting that you're on the show right now.

Speaker 1 Come on, Billy.

Speaker 9 I can, I can play you.

Speaker 1 Because Billy will lie

Speaker 9 about what he said.

Speaker 1 Only play it if he lies. Let me see.
I want to see him. I want to hear him try to say it.

Speaker 9 Billy will lie about what he said.

Speaker 1 I'll load up to it. I'll load up to it.
I'm loaning up to it. Okay.

Speaker 1 Say the exact same thing you said to said.

Speaker 9 Say it to his face.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 8 To his face.

Speaker 14 I have been a bit of a critic.

Speaker 1 That's fair. Put that out there.
That's fair.

Speaker 8 A huge fan of your route runner.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 This is still truth. Okay.

Speaker 8 I just think

Speaker 8 you could be a little more.

Speaker 9 And congratulations on leading.

Speaker 8 Congratulations on leading the league and yards after the catch.

Speaker 8 But just you could end a couple of those, like run someone over. You could run a little more physically.

Speaker 1 He thinks you

Speaker 8 i'm an agile runner man i'm an agile runner crafty but i think you know you're you're running you could you could run someone over i think it's because you can but you don't and that's what yeah no i hear you i hear you i mean

Speaker 3 you know what you're saying isn't wrong there's times where i turn on the film i press play and i'm like that was soft wow that was soft yeah

Speaker 3 i'm my own worst critic so i'll admit to it there are times with that but there's times where i stick my fucking face in the fan you can't say it's every time yeah but it has led to you know such a long career that other

Speaker 8 yeah a lot of success and yeah but like can you just like run someone over like like dude i think what you're talking about is when i got body slammed by derwin james exactly what you're talking about

Speaker 3 i would love to see

Speaker 3 everybody in this room be in that scenario against Derwin James.

Speaker 1 I would have run him over first.

Speaker 1 Run him over? Yeah, run him over. Yes.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 9 I pride myself on being a physical runner and not soft.

Speaker 3 All right, what about after the, I'm not even going to fucking bring that up because that's going to sound like an excuse. I got fucking body slammed is what happened.

Speaker 3 We got the ball back, though, and we scored. I will say this.
It was a fucking 10-play, 11-play drive, and I was dog shit tired.

Speaker 3 I had just fucking ran from the other side of the field, caught the ball, kind of made one move.

Speaker 3 was fucking on me like that. Like I cleared the first guy and he was on me like that.
And yeah, I paid for it.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, I get it. I get it.
I tried it, Lord.

Speaker 3 I tried to get down there. I was just too

Speaker 1 fat and tired, man. So, Billy's critiques actually fair.

Speaker 1 No, every now and then. You know, I'll look myself in the mirror, man.
I ain't mad at you.

Speaker 16 I'm so sorry that.

Speaker 1 Why are you apologizing? He agreed with you. Dude, I get it, man.
I need to fucking do it. I need to adult faster than anything.
This is a big moment for you, Billy. You stood up and you said it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I actually,

Speaker 1 I need to impose my will on guys. You did.
You're right. You did, I do.

Speaker 9 I way to agree with Billy a little bit more because I was hoping that you were going to take Billy out. You just let Billy body slam you.

Speaker 1 Listen, I was fucked up.

Speaker 3 You're going to make me fucking spear this guy.

Speaker 1 All right, Joey. Congrats.
Way to go, dude. Billy knows the ball.

Speaker 1 thank you.

Speaker 9 Thank you. How are your ad reads?

Speaker 3 No, you don't do well. I mean,

Speaker 3 yeah, we do it. We knock them out, but they are.
They're bad. We kind of free them, freelance them.
They're not well put together like that.

Speaker 1 That was smooth. That's my job.

Speaker 1 It's my job.

Speaker 1 Okay, so how many years, how many Super Bowls?

Speaker 1 From here on out? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Man. Put some numbers out there.

Speaker 1 Not what you're guaranteeing, what you're hoping.

Speaker 3 I would say

Speaker 3 I would hope for at least two more, man. Okay.
Two more before I hang them up.

Speaker 3 I think I got three years left on my contract, and I say I'm going to do it till the wheels fall off, but

Speaker 3 there's a lot of variables to take,

Speaker 3 especially with the podcast world and the entertainment world out there.

Speaker 1 It's more important than it is.

Speaker 3 It's a new career that I'm very interested in.

Speaker 1 It's also physically demanding.

Speaker 1 The longer you podcast. No, no, not the way I play, though.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 3 I would hope for two more, man. I hope for two more.
There's a guy named Rob Gronkowski that's got two that I keep getting compared to, and I would love to catch up to him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, wait. All right.
So this is kind of a fucked up question, but it's actually something I think about and it's stupid to think about. And I'm wondering if you think about this as well.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Mahomes,

Speaker 1 let's say probably has 15 years left. Have you thought, 10, 15? Have you thought like he's going to get a whole new family without me?

Speaker 1 Like he's going to have a whole new dude.

Speaker 3 It's already starting. It's already starting.

Speaker 3 I'm the last fucking, I'm the last one in the building. No, I think I have the mentality of trying to make sure that this thing keeps going.

Speaker 3 So I'm here for, like, I'm here at Titan U trying to help guys out. I'm trying to like give nuggets of gold or at least everything,

Speaker 3 my input on the entire grand scheme of things so that this thing, this train doesn't fucking stop when I'm done, man.

Speaker 1 That would mess me up, though, being like.

Speaker 3 No, it's 100% going to happen.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like you'll come back for like the 10-year anniversary for the first Super Bowl ring, and Mahomes would be like, you know, in the middle of like a 14-3 season. He's like, oh, what's up, Pat?

Speaker 1 That's crazy.

Speaker 1 Like your new toys?

Speaker 1 That's crazy to fucking think about, man. Yeah, I'm sorry if I bummed you out.
Yeah, like the next tight end.

Speaker 9 You don't want the next tight end after you to get more rings than you do.

Speaker 1 Ooh.

Speaker 9 You know?

Speaker 3 That's a good point.

Speaker 9 You should, don't invite that guy to TEU.

Speaker 1 Yeah, keep that guy away from TEU.

Speaker 3 Nah, man. If it means Pat gets the rings, I'll...

Speaker 3 Yeah,

Speaker 3 I'll give him my two cents.

Speaker 1 And also, eventually, like, if you ask 100 football fans on the street, like, how many rings does Gronk have people would be like I don't know six or seven because they think Brady so you get a certain amount away you'll just get assigned all his rings yeah right no it's a great fucking point yeah great point she's like yeah I don't know he won all those rings he was on that team did you do a Pat Mahomes impression

Speaker 9 it's got to be like fuck okay how about this how about it's it's uh it's like alumni night 10 years from now

Speaker 9 And you guys have three Super Bowls together, and he's on a team with a tight end that's got two, and he comes up to you, and he says,

Speaker 1 Travis, I just like to say once with you meant more to me.

Speaker 1 That was that fucking Yoda?

Speaker 1 Soft, you run.

Speaker 3 I'm not even sure what you just fucking said, but

Speaker 9 what do you want him to say to you in that moment?

Speaker 3 In that moment?

Speaker 1 Oh man, we had some fun, didn't we?

Speaker 1 That's pretty good. That's pretty good.
You're always my number one. That's all you need.
You were always my.

Speaker 1 When I'm passing the ball to Tim Tebow Jr., I'm thinking about you.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 3 Man, my only memory of Tim Tebow on the football field is him just throwing us a shellacin in the Sugar Bowl, man.

Speaker 1 Oh, were you on the bottom?

Speaker 3 I was on the Cincinnati Barracks. Yeah, I was on that barracks.

Speaker 3 We go undefeated. Brian Kelly goes to Notre Dame right after the season.
We're playing with a bunch of dads and

Speaker 3 administrative,

Speaker 3 I don't know, just guys from the University of Cincinnati. And we go in and play arguably one of the best football teams in college football ever in the Florida Gators that year.
And that was fun.

Speaker 3 That was fun. Tebow,

Speaker 10 they said Tebow couldn't throw.

Speaker 3 Well, he threw for like 500 yards that day.

Speaker 1 Oh, all right. Well, Travis, thanks so much, man.
We appreciate it. You got to come back on now.
That's part of the deal. I'm in.
Anytime we ask, you have to. I have to? Yes.

Speaker 1 We'll find it. It's a podcasting law.
We'll find time, baby. Yeah.
We'll find time. Thank you so much, man.

Speaker 1 it is time for Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 1 Mount Rushmore of Red Things.

Speaker 1 I love our board right now. I love our board right now.

Speaker 1 Hank's eyes are not allowed to be picked. You're looking tired, Hank.

Speaker 9 Yeah, real tired.

Speaker 9 Why are you so usually tired around this time of day?

Speaker 2 It's just been a long day.

Speaker 1 After you get so coronet with your cousins.

Speaker 9 It's work work.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's been a work work day.

Speaker 2 This is a work-work trip.

Speaker 1 It is a work-work week.

Speaker 1 Okay. It's our pick first.
It's our pick first.

Speaker 1 Are you guys excited for my support red things? Yeah, we have a good list.

Speaker 8 We're staying sneaky.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. Staying sneaky.
Whoa, watch out for the boys getting sneaky.

Speaker 9 So I guess we go first, huh? Big cat.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I guess we go first. I guess we should just take 1-1.
Yeah, I like it. You win the draft?

Speaker 9 I like our first pick.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Go ahead, PFT.

Speaker 9 Red Zone channel.

Speaker 1 That is our one. It's the first channel.
1-1. It is the 1-1.

Speaker 9 It is R1-1. There is no other.

Speaker 1 And do you guys want to end the draft now?

Speaker 9 Yeah, you basically just gave it to us.

Speaker 4 You guys have never lost a draft ever.

Speaker 1 Correct. I'm happy for you guys.
Wait. Ah, damn it.
You guys choose the order. No, we don't.
We've been rotating.

Speaker 8 No, no, but you choose which one we do every time.

Speaker 1 We've been rotating exactly.

Speaker 8 I know, we've been rotating for each time, but then you're like, oh, we're doing red today.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 No, it's convenient.

Speaker 9 Well, spoiler alert, when we picked what we were going to be drafting today,

Speaker 9 me and Big Cat hadn't even started our back and forth for the text chain. And so this happened after that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a fact. Yeah, it's convenient.
And guess what? We went all from memory. We didn't Google red things like Jake did.
Check the time to try to pander it. No, no.
Nope.

Speaker 1 Okay, Jake and Billy are up.

Speaker 1 That's pandering. That's a great pick.
Okay, yeah.

Speaker 18 Yeah. Tiger Woods on Sunday.

Speaker 1 Good pick. Okay, good pick.
That's a strong second pick. Strong second pick.

Speaker 8 A stronger pick than your pick because

Speaker 9 Doug Red's own 1-1.

Speaker 1 Well, it's actually not stronger because he doesn't have a fucking ankle anymore. So he's like,

Speaker 1 there's no more Tiger Woods. I'm under the Red Paul.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 I'm I'm going to let Max cook.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. No, no, no.
Famous last words.

Speaker 8 They're treading water. They're going under.
Hank passed the ball to you.

Speaker 9 Is this give and go?

Speaker 15 No, yeah, this is give and go. This is a give and go.
I gave him. I was firing earlier.

Speaker 1 I was just

Speaker 15 throwing out things left and right, but they were kind of a jumbled mess. I need him to decide which is the best of the jumbled mess that I was throwing.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 2 We'll go with. I'm surprised Billy didn't take this.
Red meat.

Speaker 1 Good pick. On our list.
Yep. On our list.
Wasn't our first pick. Good pick.
Some people are allergic.

Speaker 1 Yeah, pussies.

Speaker 1 Facts. All right, you guys have another pick?

Speaker 2 Let's go with Mountain Dew Code Red.

Speaker 1 That's a good pick.

Speaker 8 Makes you infertile.

Speaker 9 That's not true. That's false.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's actually very false. No, no, no.
Definitely makes you infertile.

Speaker 9 I don't have any kids, and I drank a shitload of Mountain Dew.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Those are good picks.
I feel like this is a good, strong, not a a lot of contention can't really argue with this no gengis khan picks yeah you know we won that draft no you don't

Speaker 1 okay

Speaker 1 okay

Speaker 1 uh okay you guys are up

Speaker 8 we're going with the core's light logo

Speaker 1 okay red

Speaker 1 All right, okay, that was

Speaker 2 when everyone thinks of Coors Light, they think of the color red, red.

Speaker 1 What are the mountains?

Speaker 1 Is this a volcano? Okay, but we think of the mountains.

Speaker 8 If it wasn't for the red logo, the blue mountains wouldn't look so good.

Speaker 1 If Coors Light was a team,

Speaker 9 their jerseys would either be silver or blue.

Speaker 1 Blue, yes, silver. Red over bullet.

Speaker 1 Red would be their third alternate. Yeah,

Speaker 1 and everyone would be like, ew, what are these? What are they wearing today?

Speaker 9 What's the Boston Red Sox logo?

Speaker 1 What? What?

Speaker 1 White?

Speaker 1 And gray. Wait, red is their alternate.
What are you asking? Dude,

Speaker 1 dude, it's red. Right, but what does that have to do with Coors Leg? Well, your point is bad because they don't wear red jerseys.

Speaker 1 Their red jerseys are their alternate.

Speaker 9 Billy, when I say Coors, what color?

Speaker 1 Exactly,

Speaker 4 the thing our pick is the Coors Light logo.

Speaker 1 I know what. No, we know what you're saying.

Speaker 1 If it says mountains, no, we know what you're putting.

Speaker 2 If you ask me what color the Coors Light logo is, I'd have to think. That would be a trick question.

Speaker 1 I bet blue? Yeah, blue. It's red.
Okay.

Speaker 8 Hey, hey, look at that cup right in front of you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I know what color it is, but it's the the blue. Blue is the dominant color of that cup.

Speaker 8 Blue is the mountains. Red is the colours.

Speaker 1 Hey, guys, I understand what you're saying, but it's stupid. It is red.
What AWS decided?

Speaker 1 Okay. I mean, this was a

Speaker 1 good thing. We choose the mountains.
10 and 1 are the two that I like right now, but I'm opening it up. Yeah, no, no.

Speaker 9 10 and 1 are great picks, both of them.

Speaker 1 Okay, all right. So our next pick, Red Panda.
Red Panda.

Speaker 9 Yep.

Speaker 1 Great pick. The goat.
The goat of halftime.

Speaker 1 Overrated.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. You never called that titus.

Speaker 13 That's a tightest take.

Speaker 1 No, you stand behind it. Save it in your fucking chest.
Yeah, overrated. You think she's overrated?

Speaker 15 She messes up a lot.

Speaker 9 How many bows could you flip?

Speaker 8 Also, the red panda isn't even a bear.

Speaker 1 You have no idea. What the fuck? I don't know if you're

Speaker 1 talking about it. You're talking about the animal.
Yeah, I am.

Speaker 8 Which makes it a bad pick because what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 Bill, man,

Speaker 9 you're struggling.

Speaker 1 This is how every Mount Rusher argues.

Speaker 1 When you point out the core's Light, you think blue, and then Billy's going to just try to poke holes.

Speaker 9 Billy, you don't even know the difference between an Allosaurus and a T-Rex.

Speaker 18 I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Yes, by the way.

Speaker 8 Why would they name someone Red Panda?

Speaker 1 Okay, anyways. All right.

Speaker 9 My next pick, our next pick.

Speaker 1 Feel good about this one.

Speaker 9 Red solo cups. Yes.
Solo cups. The goat.

Speaker 1 Solo cups. Solo cups.

Speaker 12 Solo cups. Solo cups.

Speaker 1 When you go to buy red solo cups, you know you're about to have a good time.

Speaker 9 If you see somebody drinking out of a solo cup, you're like, that person loves an ice-cold.

Speaker 1 I've always been more a fan of the the blue wolves. No, you haven't.
No, you haven't. No, you haven't.
Red is the primary solo cup.

Speaker 1 Oh, you say that when you go get it?

Speaker 1 Red solo cups are the number one solo cups. When you go get them, you're like, this is going to be a fun night.
We could do everything. Pier pong, peer dye, flip cup.
Flip cup. Everything.

Speaker 1 You know it. I know it.

Speaker 9 Deep down. I wonder if they did any studies when they were coming up with the color for the cup or if they just had a bunch of red dye and they're like, this is cheap.
Whatever it is, it worked.

Speaker 1 It was actually the first thing that popped in my head when we were thinking of red because I was like, What's the most fun thing? Red solo cups. Yep, you've always had a good time with red solo cups.

Speaker 2 Like the see-through ones are better,

Speaker 8 they're pretty juvenile.

Speaker 1 Oh man, pretty okay. I saw your instant reaction.
You had that

Speaker 1 the juvenile as hell, dude. You had that list.
I would say a child move, Bill.

Speaker 9 You probably you seem like the kind of guy that has a stack of red solo cups in your apartment and you drink everything like milk out of a red solo cup, water out of a red solo cup.

Speaker 8 I don't put them in the washing machine, yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 Next. Dishwasher.

Speaker 9 You can put him in the washing machine, too.

Speaker 9 That's how Billy does it.

Speaker 8 You only need one machine, dude.

Speaker 1 He's like, am I doing my dishes incorrectly?

Speaker 2 He's got a solo cup and smashing glasses every time I do one.

Speaker 1 My red solo cups keep melting in the dryer.

Speaker 1 Okay. Our third pick, the Kool-Aid Man.
Okay. Damn.
Yeah. That's a good one.

Speaker 1 Just through your wall.

Speaker 9 A little bit of a reach, but yeah, it's nice.

Speaker 8 Nice, nice red.

Speaker 1 No, I know.

Speaker 1 I agree. We are aware of that.

Speaker 9 I said it was a good pick.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Probably could have gotten him to the floor.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 It's better.

Speaker 1 It's better than

Speaker 1 your red core's light. Oh, yes.

Speaker 9 Max would look so good to match up as the Kool-Aid man for Halloween.

Speaker 15 Yeah, I said cool.

Speaker 15 That's a good pick. I had it on the list.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 I gave you the chance to take it.

Speaker 2 I'm going to go out there for all the

Speaker 1 team is.

Speaker 1 Our team. I'm the representative.

Speaker 2 Again, I kicked the ball. I kicked it back.

Speaker 9 You know what's great about me and Big Cat's team is we use each other's picks all the time. Yeah.
And you'll never know who came up with it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We actually have jumbled this draft. You don't know who has what.
It's tough.

Speaker 2 I don't care.

Speaker 2 This is for all the kids out there. I care about the little kid at AWL's Clifford.

Speaker 1 The big red dog. Yeah, he was.
Big red dog.

Speaker 2 He's a good boy. Legendary.
Legendary dog.

Speaker 1 Movie wasn't great.

Speaker 1 Martin Short. Book is better.
I think it was like in the 90s. But the book is great.

Speaker 8 Maybe there was the new one with the scene.

Speaker 1 The new one, that was a little scary, yeah. The red album.
Maybe the old one was good. I don't know.
But good pick.

Speaker 2 And then for our last pick, I don't know how PFT let this one get away.

Speaker 2 Just an iconic album from an iconic artist,

Speaker 2 Taylor Swift, the red album.

Speaker 1 Banger. Okay.
That was on our list.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Love Taylor so much.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What's on the red album?

Speaker 2 Love Story.

Speaker 1 I knew you were trouble when you walked in.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure that.

Speaker 9 I'm pretty sure Love Story wasn't on the Red Album.

Speaker 2 It's on my Red Album. Is it?

Speaker 1 I don't know. Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay. What other songs is she singing? Should we do it? Shake it off.

Speaker 9 I think, look, what you made me do might have been. Let me see.

Speaker 1 Love Story

Speaker 2 1986.

Speaker 8 No, dude.

Speaker 15 22. That's a big Instagram caption.
One right there.

Speaker 9 Love stories on Fearless. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Don't know what that is.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 9 you're always scared.

Speaker 1 What is it?

Speaker 1 What do they got? Yeah. They're falling apart.

Speaker 1 He's a legend. He's a legend.

Speaker 1 Stop touching the mics. What do you guys do? He's a legend.
Red Hour back.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 9 Good pick.

Speaker 1 Nice pick, Chick. Yeah.

Speaker 9 That's a good pick. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Good pick.

Speaker 9 I think it's a great pick, even. I'm shocked Hank didn't take it.
What, you don't like sports?

Speaker 1 No, I like it. We're shocked Hank didn't take it.
We're shocked Hank didn't take it.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 PFT. What should we do with this last pick? Okay,

Speaker 8 I like three,

Speaker 9 six.

Speaker 1 I also like two.

Speaker 1 I like two a little bit.

Speaker 1 Nine is good. I like two a little bit.
I don't know. Did you recognize two when I said it? Do you know what I'm talking about?

Speaker 9 You sent a typo.

Speaker 1 Oh. And I thought that.
Oh, I did.

Speaker 9 I thought the second letter in that was O. Tick.

Speaker 1 Tick, tick, tick, tick. Do you like it now? I like it.
Yep. Okay.
Yep. It's a good pick.
The big fat red wiffleball bat that hits all the fucking home runs.

Speaker 1 It's the illegal one, the dinger bat. Yep.
What are you going to say, Max? What are you going to say, Max?

Speaker 15 That's the child's bat.

Speaker 1 That is, and it hits bombs.

Speaker 15 But that's like for the kids who don't know how to play with.

Speaker 1 It hits bombs. Do not play.
No, no, no, bombs.

Speaker 15 No, that's the amateur bat, but that's fine.

Speaker 1 Okay. And you know why they did a home run derby?

Speaker 2 Only if you those are good if you get you get like one swing a game.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and it's so much fun. No.
Because the ball jumps off that bat.

Speaker 15 If you want to play that way, you got to go the fake wooden whiffle ball bats. Those were the good ones.

Speaker 1 That's not nearly as good as the red one.

Speaker 2 Yeah, the Mark McGuire stealth red whiffle ball.

Speaker 1 Thank you. Hank.
Thank you. No.
The bat is the junk ball bat.

Speaker 8 Hank knows.

Speaker 1 That bat is iconic because it's like.

Speaker 2 The whiffle ball bat is significantly.

Speaker 1 When you think whiffle ball, you're thinking yellow bat. Of course, but no one's even considering the red bat.
No, no, no, no, no. When you say, hey, what about the red bat?

Speaker 1 You're like, oh, that's illegal. You're like, wait, was it orange or blue?

Speaker 15 This is just the opposite of your red solo cup pick.

Speaker 1 No. Yes.
Because when you think

Speaker 1 about it, when you think whiffle ball, you think the yellow ball. I didn't say think whiffleball.
I said the red wiffle ball bat, and you guys immediately knew what bat I was going to say.

Speaker 1 I actually was wondering how he was thinking.

Speaker 1 I'm thinking of the blue, orange, big ball.

Speaker 1 Shut up.

Speaker 15 Shut up. No, this could be an age disconnect, honestly.

Speaker 15 This could be good.

Speaker 15 This might be an olds wiffle ball bat.

Speaker 1 Whatever. It's a good thing.

Speaker 9 You probably can use it the senior home.

Speaker 8 It's a great bat.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's a great.
Hank just said he knew the bat. He just listed it.
Also 30, also old.

Speaker 9 It makes a great sound.

Speaker 1 You said the red bat is way better than I did.

Speaker 2 I just searched Whiffleball Bat on Google, and I have yet to see a red one. I see blue.

Speaker 8 The junk ball bat is also better than anything.

Speaker 1 Green.

Speaker 1 All right. What did we miss? Honorable mentions.

Speaker 15 The big red boots. The right the big red boots are good.

Speaker 2 What is red CF?

Speaker 1 Is that the red?

Speaker 1 We were thinking about ketchup and hot sauce, but ketchup's like...

Speaker 2 Hot sauce is orange.

Speaker 1 Red man?

Speaker 9 Hot sauce isn't orange.

Speaker 1 Red man's a good one.

Speaker 9 It's called Frank's Red Hot. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But it's orange. Michael Red? Hot sauce is orange.
No, it's not.

Speaker 9 Yes, it is. Embrace the bait.
Hot sauce, what color is it?

Speaker 9 Let's ask Google, okay? Actually, I'm going to say Frank's Red Hot. What's the name of that A ice ring, Billy, that you used to write all your blogs?

Speaker 1 No. Swedish Fish? i'll use it sometimes swedish fish red swedish fish are great uh kane the wrestler

Speaker 1 we say roses red foreman that's 70 show yep what about uh isn't morgan freeman red in shawshank yep yeah oh that's a

Speaker 1 so is red yep yeah yeah

Speaker 1 hockey goal the siren goalite yeah hockey goalite that's a good one red rocket Roses

Speaker 2 roses are red hot like as in like hot you're

Speaker 9 I can't tell if you're joking.

Speaker 1 You just went Tay Portnoy on us. Communism? You said hot.

Speaker 9 Like, it's, it's like emergency red.

Speaker 1 You don't like hot sauce. You actually can't eat hot sauce.
So you're the last person who should talk about it. I really can't eat hot sauce.
That's also true.

Speaker 8 I actually like hot sauce.

Speaker 1 Is watermelon pink or red?

Speaker 1 Red.

Speaker 1 Pink. I think it's

Speaker 9 kind of pink.

Speaker 1 Is it kind of pink? I was thinking about it, and I was like, it is no, you're just saying it's pink because you know hot sauce and watermelon aren't the same color.

Speaker 8 Wait, what?

Speaker 1 Huh?

Speaker 2 If watermelon's red and hot sauce is red, they're not the same color because

Speaker 1 watermelon's red and red bandana candles.

Speaker 9 I just looked at the Pantone for hot sauce. It's red.
It's red. It's a color from red color family.

Speaker 13 Red.

Speaker 1 What color is that, Hank? When it's

Speaker 1 what color is that?

Speaker 1 Light orange.

Speaker 8 No, I always saying, like, when hot sauce is spread out, it looks a little orange because it's like thinner.

Speaker 1 Oh, you know, it would have been a great one if we wanted to go real opposite age. Elmo.
Classic. Elmo's a classic.

Speaker 9 Elmo's a good red.

Speaker 1 He is. And you know what? It's funny because I remember like being, how old were we when Tickleby Elmo was like when we were like 12? Yeah, so we were past that.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I was like, what's the obsession with Elmo? And now that I have kids, I remember I went to the toy store and there was a big fucking giant barrel of Cookie Monster and Elmo toys.

Speaker 1 There was like two Elmos and like a hundred cookie monsters. Nobody wants all the kids want Elmo.

Speaker 15 Yep. My niece and nephew love Elmo.

Speaker 1 It's the only thing they care about. It's crazy.
It's the only thing they care about. It's like every kid, something wired in their brain, Elmo just hits with them.
It's nuts.

Speaker 8 Probably a psyop.

Speaker 1 Yeah, probably a psyop. That's exactly what I was going to say.

Speaker 9 Anything a kid that loves to be tickled? Yeah. Stinks to Ivan.
Yeah.

Speaker 9 Newspapers, get it?

Speaker 9 Jake liked that one.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
That's nice. That's real nice.
Wait, did trap uh uh

Speaker 1 like Soviet Russia, yeah, just in general,

Speaker 1 red

Speaker 1 Republicans, Red Army, I had the right, no job we had the right, yep,

Speaker 1 make America Great Again hats.

Speaker 15 Did you Google that to make sure?

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 2 three R's, red, right, Republican.

Speaker 9 Uh, AIDS ribbons, Max tried to put the Phillies on the list, not sure.

Speaker 1 Phillies, aren't they more is that brownish? Well, they wear blue.

Speaker 18 That's a watermelon color, right?

Speaker 1 Like pink, The Phillies? The Philadelphia Phillies? Yeah, their hats.

Speaker 1 I think you guys are being more red. I think they're orange.
They're not straight red. I mean, you guys are.
They have brown uniforms, though, right?

Speaker 15 They do not have brown uniforms.

Speaker 1 I'm going to be honest.

Speaker 15 They have blue uniforms.

Speaker 9 No, it's their hats are blue.

Speaker 1 Their hats are red.

Speaker 9 Oh, I guess I just get confused.

Speaker 1 I don't know why. I thought it was like pissed.

Speaker 9 I guess I get confused between my reds and my blues, which one's the dominant color of a logo.

Speaker 1 It's natural. I guess it happens to a lot of us.
I guess those hats are red.

Speaker 1 Dude, I can't tell the difference. I'm thinking of like red.
Oh, burgundy. Like, they have burgundy.
No, it's not the same color.

Speaker 1 They do have like retro like maroon hats. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 15 But those are retro.

Speaker 1 Yeah, those are retro. I was just looking, yeah.
I'm thinking Mike Schmidt, burgundy.

Speaker 9 Old school.

Speaker 8 Dude, I have a really hard time differentiating reds.

Speaker 8 What color is hot sauce?

Speaker 1 Red. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Thank you, Bill. But like, everything's red.

Speaker 9 We should put up a poll. What color is hot sauce? I mean, most lopside poll ever.

Speaker 1 Nebraska.

Speaker 1 Wisconsin. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Red's a strong color. Mm-hmm.
No? You don't like

Speaker 1 that? Those are red. Hot sauce.

Speaker 9 That's good people.

Speaker 9 Not the aviator.

Speaker 1 Also. He was World War I.

Speaker 9 Yeah, he's an ace.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 You probably didn't know that until I just told you.

Speaker 8 The Bloody Red Baron of Germany.

Speaker 9 There's a song about it. I don't really know that much about planes.
You don't know much about dinosaurs either because it turns out that Billy's shirt is actually a T-Rex, not an Alisaurus.

Speaker 8 I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 You're wearing a T-Rex right now. I will show you the email.

Speaker 8 I told you. I'll show you the email I sent to the designer.
What about yesterday?

Speaker 1 What does that mean? What did they say? You sent like an obscure dinosaur, and they're like, all right, we'll just fucking put a T-Rex on this shirt.

Speaker 9 Yeah, that's a good thing. Billy, what about yesterday when I told you that that was a T-Rex and you told me, no, it's not looking good.

Speaker 1 I'm i'm in denial i'm in denial i want it to be an allosaurus look at the crest i don't want to make them redraw it because they didn't get the crest right and the jaw wrong okay

Speaker 1 That's not both.

Speaker 9 Jake's correct.

Speaker 2 You guys both had pics that aren't even close to what people related to.

Speaker 1 But we're the only ones who have ever done anything wrong. Jake is

Speaker 1 upset.

Speaker 1 You're upset. He's red.

Speaker 1 He is red right now.

Speaker 10 He's red. Yeah.

Speaker 9 He's red as fuck. I'm going to tweet out a poll right now, Hank.

Speaker 9 It was an honorable mention. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Red or orange.
Those are the

Speaker 1 two-minute poll.

Speaker 9 Okay. I predict that the answer is going to be 85% red.

Speaker 1 Wait. Canadian flag.
Oh, yeah. That's a good one.
Oh, shit. Blood.
Blood. Blood.
I said blood. Red heart.
Blood.

Speaker 8 Red blood cells.

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 8 Wait, is your blood actually red?

Speaker 8 Wait, wasn't it that thing? What do you mean? No, the arteries, the, the, yeah, that's.

Speaker 1 The arteries are blue?

Speaker 1 Time of the sword bleeds, Dodger blue. Mm-hmm.
It's a fact.

Speaker 12 Hawks, I like a red-tailed hawk. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 There's something about red-tailed.

Speaker 8 RIP pale male.

Speaker 1 I hate the Cardinals, but a Cardinal seeing a Cardinal in the wild is fucking cool.

Speaker 9 That's fucking cool. Yeah, male Cardinals.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's very cool.

Speaker 9 Whenever you see a Hawk, you are legally obligated to be like, look at that. There's a Hawk.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 9 You have to point it out.

Speaker 1 Okay. Good Mount Rushmore, everyone.
Jake got mad for the sixth in a row.

Speaker 18 Yeah, because you guys talked down on us this whole segment.

Speaker 1 You made really good picks, except except for the Corse Light pick. No, that was the only one I talked down on.
It's because

Speaker 1 all the other ones I said were good.

Speaker 1 Red Arback was good.

Speaker 1 I said the Tiger pick was great.

Speaker 2 They try and shape.

Speaker 1 What was your other pick?

Speaker 1 What was your other liking? What was your other pick?

Speaker 8 I don't care. It's going to play so well in the graphic.

Speaker 1 What was your other booty?

Speaker 1 Bootman was a great pick.

Speaker 2 They try and strong it.

Speaker 1 The Corse was not a good pick. You can say it wasn't a good pick.

Speaker 2 They take advantage of our listing.

Speaker 1 You know what, Jake? Next time we do it.

Speaker 8 Aren't even pandas.

Speaker 1 Next time we do it.

Speaker 2 Also, not to mention it's two hosts versus everyone else.

Speaker 1 Jake, next time we do it, I'll just say every pick is fucking awesome. No, no, I will.
I will. We'll do it.
We'll do a nice Mount Rushmore. No.
It'll be really not. It's not my issue.
It'll be really

Speaker 2 we should throw it.

Speaker 1 But you just said I talked to you. You said I talked down on all your picks.
Three out of your four picks said we're great picks. Oh, it's like pretty much 50-50 picks.
This is.

Speaker 8 Remember I made this argument last year?

Speaker 2 Yeah, no,

Speaker 1 it's fine. Oh, man.
Salty, salty, boys.

Speaker 1 It's our show.

Speaker 9 Credit to Hank. It's 66 to 34.

Speaker 9 Basically,

Speaker 1 but everybody is saying that Buffalo is basically 50-50.

Speaker 9 Everyone's saying Buffalo is the orange sauce that you're doing. That's an all-star.

Speaker 1 66-34 is not basically 50-50.

Speaker 2 You're hitting 340. You're in the all-star game.

Speaker 1 Okay, good show, boys. We're all back together for the rest of this week.
Excited for that.

Speaker 1 Anything else?

Speaker 9 I'm looking forward to playing some golf with you guys down North Kakalaki.

Speaker 1 Yeah, go vote on the Mount Rushmore. We'll see if Billy and Jake can get out of the zeros.

Speaker 2 What's the magic number, Jake?

Speaker 13 In terms, oh, for us to lose the whole thing.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 13 I think it's still too early to tell. That was always an exciting time when you refresh the MLB standings and you see magic numbers start to pop up.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So you got to get those going. You got to get those going.
Late early.

Speaker 9 What was your impression of the draft of George Kittle's sub-in for you he when he sat down with Billy and did the Mount Rushmore of famous football plays?

Speaker 9 How would you grade his performance?

Speaker 13 Yeah, I mean, I really have nowhere to speak because

Speaker 13 I haven't won. So

Speaker 13 I think when I looked at the poll blind, I saw the graphic before I listened and team two dominated. Max and Hank, there was a no-doubter.

Speaker 13 I thought we could have maybe, I was surprised on the going back to Haas's, I was surprised that we didn't get second.

Speaker 13 I thought I don't know how they got Genghis Khan, Genghis Khan, whatever his name is. I don't know how they got.

Speaker 1 Genghis Khan was 5-6. Hail Mary, baby.

Speaker 2 People of the world were 5-1.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so I thought we were good for a pick. I could beat the shit out of Genghis Khan.

Speaker 1 Hopefully, he can't just try that. We'll see.

Speaker 8 That dude probably was malnourished and had like chlamydia.

Speaker 1 Genghis Khan was a wild pick.

Speaker 1 But he got the fucking place, which is crazy.

Speaker 13 Like, it is what it is.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I agree with Jake. What did you guys have in that draft? You had some bad picks.

Speaker 1 We had great picks.

Speaker 13 We had Jared Lorenzen, Rick Ross, Andy Reed, Rick Ross, and Big Country.

Speaker 1 Big Country.

Speaker 9 Big Country was a tough one.

Speaker 8 Dude, Big Country is a hawk.

Speaker 1 That's just

Speaker 1 a fucking name.

Speaker 1 Don't play.

Speaker 2 Jake, you're going to regret talking shit about Khan.

Speaker 1 I'm telling you. Dude, I used to be kind of stuck.

Speaker 1 I will straight up fight Genghis Khan with my bare hands and beat him. Billy's feeling himself right now.
He's calling out Russia. I don't like Billy in this chair.
Yeah, no, it's a little too much.

Speaker 1 A little too much. I think you may need to go back.

Speaker 2 Next time we're in here, Genghis Khan will look at you dancing and pick you apart.

Speaker 8 Dude, Genghis Khan would be scared of my dancing.

Speaker 1 All right, Hank, how was your golf weekend?

Speaker 2 I was good. Me and PFT played on Friday.
We had a good round.

Speaker 1 It was a good time.

Speaker 9 You played at Medina.

Speaker 2 The Mecca of golf. Shout out to Johnny Fish for doing shout-outs.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Johnny Fish and Jay. Hank, how are your numbers?

Speaker 2 69.

Speaker 1 Nice. 18.
Dude, I'm going to win on another number and I'm going to be

Speaker 1 so happy. 21.

17. I don't even.

Speaker 3 20.

Speaker 1 One. Shout out Jay.

Speaker 1 We also have, it's Billy in this chair, and then Billy, like, for the rest of the summer, is going to have, like, you know, like, I never have to see these guys ever again energy going.

Speaker 9 I also think Billy, like, when somebody else takes 69, Billy's, like they probably don't even get the joke yeah

Speaker 1 uh okay

Speaker 1 what was everyone number what was your number billy

Speaker 1 21 21.

Speaker 8 okay quick appeal to the listeners please vote for jake and i no you can't do that tampering tampering please please let's tamper on one like i know you want us to see us locked in that room and that's why you're doing it but like that might not be okay 28

Speaker 13 So, like, it's the official closing of the chapter until every number was picked.

Speaker 1 No, thanks.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 of living anyway.
