Oh no, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we'll take it higher.

Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric's a part of my take presented by Barstool Sports. Welcome to Part of My Take.
Today is Wednesday, February 1st, and Sean Payton is head coach of the Denver Broncos. Let's go, Sean.
Good job, Sean. Good job, Sean.
You got a job. And little birdie told me Vic Fangio might be joining him.
So Fangio was all but confirmed to go to the Dolphins on, what, Sunday? Yeah. Psych, record scratch.
He might go to Denver. He used to be the head coach in Denver.
That's true. But it's a new ownership group.
That's true. So he might be willing to go back.
And then he might also be talking to San Francisco because they lost their defense coordinator, D'Amico Ryans, who's now head coach of the Houston Texans. Yes, so we had a little source off breaking news on Tuesday.
It was announced that Sean Payton was going to the Broncos and then almost instantly after, D'Amico Ryans was going to the Texans. And Schefter said it was a coincidence Rappaport said that the Broncos were trying very hard to get D'Amico Ryans when they couldn't they went to plan B Sean Payton which seems a little weird but I also don't think there was a coincidence there the timing of both announcements feel felt more than coincidental so I think I think I'm gonna side with Rappaport on that there was more to it

than just a complete coincidence

that they were announced within minutes of each other.

Well, Rappaport is the Walmart Schefter,

so it would make sense that he would have a closer tie-in

with the Broncos ownership group.

But I do think that there's

a good possibility that D'Amico Ryans

wanted to go to the Houston Texans.

Yes, where he played.

This is crazy. Did you know that he sued the Houston Texans? No.
He sued the Houston Texans like seven, eight years ago because this is when he was on the Eagles. He said that their playing field caused a knee injury for him.
We are team grass. We are team grass, but they do have grass, I think.
Don't they? No, they're indoors. The Texans? Yeah.
NRG Stadium? No, it's got an open roof on it. What? Yeah.
Really? Yeah. I think it's a retractable roof.
Yeah. Is it grass? That was the one Gaga came down from.
That's right. But I don't think it's usually open.
I don't think it's grass, is it? I'm pretty sure it is. I think it is grass.
They roll in the grass. No, they don't roll it in there.
No, that's Arizona. It's grass, but it's shit grass.
Because that's where, I think that's where Jules. It's so bad at grass.
I think that's where Jules tore his ACL. Non-contact.
Either him or Wes Welker, one of the two. Damn.
One of those guys had a non-contact. Oh, no, it's not anymore.
It used to be. Texans ditching grass for artificial turf.
This was in 2015. Okay.
Artificial surface. Okay, well, I learned something.
You learned something. Yeah, so...
We both learned something here. So D'Amico Ryan...
So it might have been grass when he was playing. It might have been.
D'Amico Ryan sued the Texans. He ended up settling with the group that, like, installs the playing surface.
Okay. Not involving the team in the final outcome.
Probably pretty glad that he didn't go through that lawsuit against the team themselves because now he's their head coach yeah seriously yeah that's so and it feels like the Texans finally got a head coach they want to keep around for more than a year I don't think that they hired D'Amico Ryans to fire him yeah it doesn't seem that way I think we we both called it for the last two years it felt like they were hiring L Lovie Smith to fire him in a year just because they needed to get some of the heat off him because they were rumored to be trying to hire Josh McCown at the time. And then before that, there was the David Cully experience.
Yes. God bless David Cully.
And for Sean Payton, so people have been saying, why would he do this? He left. He could have gone to any team.
Well, the Walton family has the most money, like, ever. So they probably cut him an enormous check.
They also didn't have to give up as much as I thought. Like, it's the 29th pick this year.
So the pick that the Broncos got in return for Bradley Chubb, which was, I think, the 49ers pick. So they got that.
They have to give up that. They have to give up their second rounder next year.
They get a third rounder back from the Saints, and they get Sean Payton. And if you're the Broncos, Sean Payton's worth more than the 29th pick when it's been so bad, and you've invested in Russell Wilson, you've got to figure out a way to fix him.
That's the biggest piece. Like, who better to fix a short quarterback whose arm might be, like, losing a little bit of the steam? Oh, how about the guy who coached a short quarterback whose arm wasn't the strongest? He's the perfect guy.
Yeah, plus we get a sequel to the Kevin James movie where he Yeah. Where he goes to Denver and starts his own grow-op.
So that'll be nice. I think that he's a good fit out there.
I think that he's... But it's money.
It's money. It's money.
Because the other argument would be, why would you want to go into Patrick Mahomes' division? I get that as well. It's money.
He's probably getting paid like $25 million a year. It's money.
It's a good opportunity for him to go out and get paid a lot of money. Yeah.
But he's also a very good coach.

But it's money.

And he's in maybe the worst division in sports.

Let's get real.

But it's money.

That division sucks.

Yeah.

I'm just going to do a complete reversal on our takes from last year.

Yeah.

That division until proven otherwise.

Although, Skip Bayless, that motherfucker, he predicted the C-words to win the Super Bowl already.

Oh, wow.

And now he's got me thinking.

It's a little early to do Super Bowl predictions. Now he's got a man thinking about maybe my C-words take, but we can get to that later.
But it's money. It's money.
It's money. He got paid a lot of money.
He's going to get paid a shitload of money to coach the Broncos. He's probably going to be okay.
I can't remember, and maybe there's like a very easy answer that's right in front of my face, besides Andy Reid. We're taking Andy Reid off the board here.
Has there been a coach that walked away and then came back for a big payday somewhere else and he's been better at a second location than he was at his coach? Bill Cowher's still out there. Bill Cowher's still remaining.
Remember how Bill Cowher was just in the 10 years? Hmm. Hmm.
Walked away from the NFL, like our coaching in general. Walked away from coaching.
Because he really didn't walk away for that long. Walked away from coaching in the NFL.
And did something similar. I mean, Belichick left the Jets after his day.
I was going to say, Pete Carroll left the NFL and then came back and was very successful. Yeah.
I'm trying to think who left. Parcells, but he wasn't that successful.
I mean, Mike McCarthy, we'll see how that goes. He did walk.
He did get fired. He got fired.
He rolled away. Yeah, rolled away and then came back.
That's a good question. I don't know.
I'd have to off the top of my head. Maybe I'm just not thinking.
Andy Reid is obviously the exception to this rule. And Andy Reid didn't even walk away.
Didn't he get a job right away? He got fired. I don't know how long he was in between jobs for.
It wasn't long. I want to say it was right away.
So the vibe that I'm getting is that he's going to come back. He's going to be a decent head coach because he has forgotten more about football than we'll ever know.
Yes. And he's done it for long enough that I think he knows how to run a team.
So it's going to be a completely different look for the Broncos as opposed to what they dealt with this year.

Like Sean Payton is maybe the complete opposite of Nathaniel.

I would say that's probably true.

So I,

I think that it's a,

it's a good hire for Denver and I,

but I don't see him like winning super bowls in Denver.

Yeah.

At least not with Russell Wilson.

Yeah.

So yeah,

Andy Reed was he,

he was out of a job for five days. Okay.
Five days. So Andy Reid stepped away from football.
For five days. For five days.
He left the Eagles on December 31st, 2012, and he was hired by the Chiefs on January 4th, 2013. Yeah.
Is there a coach out there that has left coaching football entirely for a full season or longer that came back that's stronger. We're definitely forgetting someone.
Yeah. Very obvious.
And people are going to, this is one of those moments where people, I mean, no, John Gruden, that didn't go well. We're just having the conversation.
I'm merely asking questions. Yeah.
This is going to be one of those moments where everyone's like, how did you guys forget about this guy? Or I'm going to forget that Bill Walsh coached the Vikings for a month back in 1960. Do you know who the answer might be? Let's see how long.
I can't remember how long he was away. I'm going to pull it up.
The answer could be... Nope, Mike Holmgren also went just straight from the Packers to the Seahawks.
I couldn't remember if there was a year in between. That's a good choice, though.
Because that would be the guy. So, yeah, I think the Broncos had to do this move, and it's money.
I would love to know how much he's getting paid. Maybe we can ask him in Indy.
They should definitely publicize how much coaches make. We need to be like Sean Payton, yes or no question, and just be like, I would like to just know how many zeros.
No, because it's definitely more than $10 million. You think it's more? I think it's probably right around $10 million.
Oh, it's definitely more than $10 million. How much does Belichick make? We don't know.
That's the best part about NFL coaches. We don't know how much they make.
Belichick probably makes like $15, $20 million a year. We knew how much Gruden made.
His contract was public. that was 10 million yeah so he's definitely getting

paid more than Gruden I think because it's a rich owner yeah who's desperate to to have a competent organization again and Sean Payton who could go out and do the bidding anywhere he wanted that's true so it's it's got to be a pretty pretty big dollar I'm seeing and now this this is on Spotrack It says that that when he was with the saints his salary was five years 42.5 million so eight and a half million per year yeah so he's definitely getting probably at least 15 10 10 plus i would yeah i would say at least 15 um okay hey it's ria from tricks in the office it's officially mini skort season and abercrombie has the ones to go out in their scarlet mini is a classic it's one of those skirts that fits the outfit vibe for any plans and i'm excited to style their new sienna skort it's a little more flirty and it's perfect for date night make plans to go out in abercrombie shop their newest arrivals in store and online let's talk some super bowl storylines we said we'd do it on on Wednesday, and it's Wednesday. It actually is Tuesday right now.
Happy birthday, PFT. It's still your birthday.
Thanks, Paquette. Happy birthday on Monday.
Birthday week, yeah. How do we want to start Super Bowl storylines? Should we just go from the obvious and then whittle it down? I also asked Hank to make a haters list to watching the Super Bowl.
Yep. Because he hates this.

Speaking of obvious.

Travis Kelsey.

This is wild.

Travis Kelsey is on TV right now.

He's at the Kansas-Kansas State game.

Storyline number one.

Did you guys know that the Kelsey brothers are brothers?

So I didn't until you just said it that way.

Yeah.

It's kind of wild when you put it that way.

Yeah.

I.

Okay.

So I have a take and I know that this one's going to get beaten to death the kelsey brothers it's going to be talked about non-stop it's probably outside of andy reading the eagles probably the number one super bowl storyline i actually think it is very crazy like that they are the first two brothers to face off in a super bowl and they're both really fucking good. Yeah.
It's one of those ones where people are going to make jokes about how everyone's overstating it. I actually think it's wild.
It's very cool. I think it's wild.
It is wild. Let me say, if you're the parents, none of this, I'm not picking sides bullshit.
Mom needs to pick one kid. Dad needs to pick the other.
Yeah. And you've got to root hard.
Well That's it. I know.
Have one. It's for it's for bragging rights.
And they're both like really, really good at their position. They're like amongst the all time greats at their position.
They're both number one at their position right now in the NFL, probably. And they're both sure.
They're definitely both. What would you say in terms of most important players on their team? What's what's what's Jason? He's probably like the third most important player on the team.
Travis is probably the third. Travis is probably two.
No, he's probably Chris Jones, two, and then Travis. So they're both like, that's the crazy part.
It's not that they're just playing against each other. They're both fucking awesome.
And yeah, the mom, they're both probably going to the Hall of Fame. Yeah.
And yeah, the mom, I think the mom's going to probably go with Jason. I think she's a Jason guy.
Yeah, yeah. Dad, go with Travis.
Yeah, yeah. Travis is a dad.
You know that dad picked the name Travis. Yeah.
Mom picked Jason. Yes, yes.
She's got the split jersey ready, too. Yeah, she does.
And it actually, the way she split the jersey, the inside is Travis. I feel like that might go against what we just said.
There's more red than green there. Yeah, there's way more red than green.
She has the shoulders on the green. And it's like if you see her, you're going to see a lot more red.
So maybe we had it reversed. Maybe it's actually.
I don't know what the back is. The back is probably Jason.
The back? Yeah, the back looks purple. Okay, so that's first storyline.
Billy, what's this look? What do you got? I have something have something to say. Billy's got something hilarious.
Tell me what you're working about. Also, for the first time, the two quarterbacks are also brothers.
Oh, okay. Oh, that's good.
Wow. Yeah.
All right, I did have that on there, but man, that was a way to introduce it. I was just going to point out that this is the first Super Bowl where both backup quarterbacks are white while the players that they back up are African-Americans.
Yes, yes. But it is the first Super Bowl, which is a very cool thing.
Two black quarterbacks starting in the Super Bowl. Speaking of Jalen Hurts, I also think there will be a little storyline.
Last time he played in a championship game, he got benched in half. Yeah.
Will Gardner Minshew come in? I actually had that exact storyline on my list. Can I start? We'll get to you.
How about this? People are talking about the Kelsey brothers and the quarterback brothers, but no one's talking about Fletcher Cox and Gainwell being cousins. Oh, that's cool.
Did you know that? That's very cool. Another thing no one's talking about is no matter who wins the Super Bowl, it will be the 22nd Lombardi Trophy for Wisconsin Badger.
Not a lot of people are talking about that. So Leo Chennault on the Chiefs.
And who's on the – who is it on the fucking – I know it. I know it.
I know it. TJ Edwards on the Eagles.
Okay. Line Someone's getting it I haven't heard a lot of people talking about it I think it should be talked about more We've also got two Australians in this game Jordan Mailata There's definitely going to be some stories about how Jordan Mailata Did not play American football until he was super old And then somebody in Australia was like Hey hey, Mike, you're five stone and whatever six foot eight is.
And hey, maybe you want to go give this a shot. And now he's like one of the best players in the NFL.
Yeah. Chiefs-a-holic.
I saw there was a piece on him in the New York Times, maybe trying to cuck you, Billy. Low-key.
Yeah, low-key. I provided a lot of the New York Times content last week.
You did. You did.
You did the reporting. They just did a fucking, you know, a mixtape of your reporting.
Billy's the gray bro. I like it.
There's also, you know, everyone's talking about Andy Reid, former coach of the Eagles. No one's talking about Nick Sirianni, former coach for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Yeah. He was their wide receivers coach for many years,

an offensive quality control guy.

He was there in Kansas City for, I think, like four years

before the new regime came in.

Andy Reid didn't hire him to stick around.

Wow.

Then he leaves.

Yeah, revenge game.

And the Andy Reid storyline is also one of those ones

that will get overblown but is very cool.

He's the winningest coach in Eagles history by almost double. Do you know who's second buddy ryan second no max it's actually not one of those like i'm not trying to put you on the spot because it's one that no one should really know um i have no idea it is greasy neil greasy neil and i got went down a rabbit hole of greasy neil facts um i I just want to share a little Greasy Neal stuff.
So Andy Reid has 224 games coached for the Eagles. Greasy Neal has 111.
Andy Reid, like I said, most wins for the Eagles all time. Greasy Neal played professional football, also played in Major League Baseball.
He did it at the same time, so he was Deion or Bo before those guys. He won the World Series in 1919 with the Reds hitting .357 in the World Series.
He also coached the Eagles to two titles. He coached the Stegals during World War II.
He coached college football and coached a team to a shared national title, including the only 0-0 tie in Rose Bowl history. He also coached college basketball for two years and college baseball for six years.
This dude did it all. Is he the greatest coach and the most versatile coach of all time? That is nuts.
Yeah. The fact that he was playing with Jim Thorpe in what was before the National Football League

while also winning a World Series with the Reds.

Shout out Greasy Neal.

Greasy Neal.

What a guy.

And his name is not because he was greasy on the football field.

It was read that he got the nickname in a verbal joust when he was a kid.

And somebody just called him Greasy? Yeah, I think they were just having a name off. That's tough that that one stuck.
He became Greasy Neal. Okay, I like it.
Shout out Greasy Neal. Yeah, I just wanted to share Greasy Neal.
And Andy Reid is going to... We're also going to get a lot of fun Andy Reid stories.
I saw one that was retweeted from 2018 about Andy Reid who grew up in L.A. And his favorite place is Tommy's Burgers in LA and he gets them flown to Kansas City and he's quoted as saying they're good for your joints the grease keeps you lubed up man yeah I mean spot the lie we're just going to get the Andy Reid looking like 25 years old playing against 12 year oldyear-old pictures.
We're going to get all that stuff.

Andy Reid.

Andy Reid food stories.

And there's not enough Andy Reid stories.

He's the best.

There's not.

Every Andy Reid story that you hear,

you never hear a story about Coach Reid,

and you're like, oh, man, that dickhead.

You're always like, about Coach Reid.

Coach Reid.

About Andy Reid.

Yeah, I was going to say.

About Andy Reid.

His son.

Yeah.

But you never hear a bad story about Andy Reid.

Yeah, yeah.

Andy Reid the coach. Andy Reid the coach, yes.
He's a Mormon. He's a Mormon.
He doesn't drink. He just eats.
In true Mormon tradition, he will have an opportunity to get two rings. Yeah, yes.
And Texas quarterbacks are back. Yes.
So both quarterbacks from Texas. It feels like we've been, I don't know, we haven't had the whole Texas quarterback discussion in a while.
When we do have it, it's always like they happen to go to the same high school. Yeah.
It just may be like five, six years apart. This one, they're from completely different parts of the state.
Neither one was recruited by Mack Brown to play safety at Texas. Two great quarterbacks from Texas, Texas back.
This is the most Johnsons in Super Bowl history. There are four Johnsons playing in this game.
So a lot of Johnsons. Wow, that's a lot of Johnsons.
Johnsons everywhere. I'm surprised that it hasn't happened before.
Okay, I got to admit, I kind of fudged this one a little bit. I kind of assumed that this was the most Johnsons.
Let's just say it is. I think it's the most Johnsons.
Yeah, yeah. There's three of them on, I think, three on the Eagles.
Yeah. So this also is Andy Reid is trying to become the 14th coach to win multiple Super Bowls all time.
So there's 13 coaches that won multiple Super Bowls. I'm going to say off the top of my head, I'm actually looking at it right now.
All in the Hall of Fame? I think he'd be the first coach to win with two different teams. Yeah.
Or no, he won with the Chiefs. I'm an idiot.
I was thinking he won with the Eagles. Yeah, so he'll be the 14th.
Not all in the Hall of Fame. I don't know.
Did Tom Flores get in the Hall of Fame? George Seifert's definitely not. I don't know.
George Seifert has two. He also would then be on the precipice of joining the elite elite club.
There's only four coaches that have won more than two Super Bowls. So it's Belichick, Chuck Knoll, Joe gibbs and bill walsh and i think he's got another one in him right so with my homes and here's here's the other one with my homes he would be the 13th starting quarterback to win two rings or more uh and he would also be close to the elusive club of four starting quarterbacks who've won three or more that's tom brady terry brshaw, Joe Montana, and Troy Aikman.
He also, if he loses this one, would join the very elusive club. There's only one other quarterback all time who's 1-2 starting in the Super Bowl.
Anyone got it? Anyone got it? 1-2. It's not Aaron Rodgers.
No, he's only been to one. He's won the same amount of NFC Championship games as Rex Grossman.

It's just a fact.

That's not a hateful thing.

That's just a fact.

One quarterback with two Super Bowls.

No, no.

Yeah, one and two.

Exactly one and two.

There's obviously Jim Kelly lost four.

There's quarterbacks have lost more than that.

Yep.

But exactly one and two.

Give me a hint.

It's happened in the last 25 years.

One and two in the Super Bowl.

That would be Kurt Warner.

I was actually just about to say Kurt Warner.

Kurt Warner.

Won, obviously, won with the Rams, lost with the Rams,

and then lost with the Cardinals.

Yeah.

So Mahomes would be with Kurt Warner as the only other quarterback who's exactly one and two in the Super Bowl.

Is he the only quarterback, Kurt Warner?

Is he the only quarterback to lose two Super Bowls with two separate teams? Good question. No, he's not.
No, wait. Peyton Manning lost one with the Broncos, but he never lost one with the Colts, right? He lost one with the Colts to the Saints.
To the Saints, that's right. There we go.
Yeah, so yeah. It would be a very exclusive club that Patrick Mahomes would be joining one and two.
So you're talking about Wisconsin, the storyline of a lot of Wisconsin players in the Super Bowl. Yeah, I mean, it's not a big deal.
It's just like no matter what, we get our 23rd Lombardi. We should show some respect to the emergence of the University of New Jersey, Rutgers.
They've got two running backs on the Chiefs from Rutgers. So they've got pacheco yep and then their fullback is also hell rutgers and he like never plays but that doesn't matter this is that that room the running back room is dominated by the scarlet knights yes yes so a lot of good super bowl storylines oh here's the fun one this is also the first time that any team has had their two starting receivers both have hyphens in their name.

Valdez Scantling and Juju Smith-Schuster.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

That's pretty cool.

That's too bad Clyde Edwards-Elair is injured.

Yeah.

Yeah, that is too bad.

People forget Clyde Edwards-Elair killed the guy.

And J.J. Ortega Whiteside isn't still on the Eagles.

Yeah.

Wow.

That would have been – you talk about a 40-yard dash. Yeah.
That would be crazy. That would be super wild.
Okay. Hank, are you ready for the haters' guide to the Super Bowl? Sure.
Lay it on us. So we told Hank, because he hates this Super Bowl, to go ahead and give us, for people who hate this Super Bowl, what they could be looking forward to in a bad way.
Jalen Hurts won the conference championship, spent the next night going upstate to New York to the Syracuse-Virginia game when he has no ties to Syracuse or Virginia. Just a weird move.
Shout out to Adam Weitzman. Oh, is he who brought him? Yeah.
Well, that's why. That's the connection.
Money. You don't know that.
He brings up big-time celebrities like every home game. He pays guys to go to the games with them.
It's actually like, honestly, I want to hate the move, but if I had endless money, I would do the same thing. It's right on the scores table right next to Bayheim.
Yeah, like wouldn't you do the same thing if you were just like, Hey, I can't. This is all right.
All right. We'll move Elman, right? Yeah, Brady and Elman.
Giannis went. Jimmy Fallon, yeah.
You've got to have some deep pockets. Josh Allen and Stephon Diggs.
To afford Tom Brady to come watch a game with you in upstate New York. But how sick would that be if you had that money where you're like, all right, I've got a private plane, show up, we'll hang out, we'll watch my favorite team.
I'll be there for the Duke game. We'll take some pictures, and that's it.
I've got to's it i gotta admit game time you would do the same if you had endless money it sounds it sounds kind of loser behavior it is it does it's basically like you're a prostitute okay it's like you're hiring male friends i listen i've gone through this thought process because i i've it's like three or four years ago i asked i think it was because he went to Syracuse. Like, what's the deal with this guy?

Because he always had famous people with him.

He's like, he's got a shitload of money.

He's a huge booster.

And he just pays for, like, famous people to go to games with him.

And I was like, what a loser.

And then I realized, if I had a billion dollars and I couldn't, if you're on that precipice

where it's like, you can't own a sports team, but you have so much money that you don't

really know what to do with it, I think I'd probably do the same. Okay.
So I think I'd just be like,

Hey,

Hey,

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, on that precipice where it's like you can't own a sports team but you have so much money that you don't really know what to do with it i think i'd probably do the same okay so i think i'd just be like hey justin fields you want to go to the cole center real quick i think it's a huge loser move and the guy's a loser i'm going to continue to call him a loser until he offers for us to come watch a game with us in which case i will change my tune a hundred percent and this guy's the coolest guy in the entire state of new york yes okay maybe the world hank i can be bought uh why is philadelphia content with second place if they lose a super bowl oh obviously we know about the phillies we know about the the soccer team what's the soccer team's name uh the union yeah you got it nailed it yeah did you it. So this was something I was doing some research.
Well, I mean, it is a storyline. Did you know that? Content? Who said that? Well, Philadelphia, Max, if you let me finish.
Philadelphia, the Declaration, I don't know how much of a history buff you are. The Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia.
Somehow they're still the second state in the union. Yeah, well, the Constitution was the one that made them into states.
Still. Second place.
Declaration of Independence, you know, is like, we're just like, we're out. We're done with England.
Constitution was like, we're starting our own deal. Yeah, we got our own game.
Who's in? And Delaware was like, pick me. I'm first.
Yeah. Should have been Philly.
They were second. They were close.
but they weren't there. Well, they were thinking about taxes.
When you get our taxes done, you got to do Delaware. Also, I think at one time they were the America's capital, and they kind of got that rubbed, too.
They did, yeah. D.C.
kind of swagger jacked that. Big time.
Again, content with second place, Max. That's true.
I don't care about history. Patrick Mahomes is probably going to catch Tom Brady for most Super Bowl losses.
You kind of brought that up. Stole my shine there.
He would get what? He's on his way. People are talking about how he's on his way to catching Tom Brady.
The only thing that he's going to catch Tom Brady in is Super Bowl losses, not wins. So this would tie him with Tom Brady for Super Bowl losses? No.
Tom Brady has three. Yeah, Jim Kelly has four.
You guys are really just – do you want me to do this list or not? All right, wait. Say it again.
Say the fact again. People keep talking about factor fiction.
Patrick Mahomes is going to catch up to Brady, right? That's the storyline. Right.
In my eyes, the only thing that he's going to catch up to Brady on is Super Bowl losses. Got it.
Okay. Got it.
He would lose this one and would still need to lose another one, but if he did, then he would catch up to Tom Brady. Losses.
Yeah. Got it.
Got it. Catch up.
Foxes, and this is, again, like, again, you wanted me to do the hater list, so this is something that haters are going to talk about. I don't necessarily agree.
I love Greg Olson, but Fox is doing the game. Troy Aikman and Joe Buck aren't doing it.
Yeah. Yeah, I've actually seen nothing but praise for Greg Olson and Kevin Burkhart over the last month.
People have just been going out of their way to compliment him. They're very good.
I think they're good, too. I'm just saying.
There will definitely be some people complaining, but that just comes with the territory. And they're not real complaints like Romo.
I think the same people that complain about Joe Buck would be the same people that would complain about Joe Buck not doing the game. Does that make sense? Yes, absolutely.
The biggest draw for this game is Rihanna. There are definitely people who are going to tune into the Super Bowl being like, where's Joe Buck? Yeah.
That will happen. Joe Buck should do his own alternate stream like on Twitch.
Rihanna's the biggest straw? Yeah. Okay.
Actually, someone tweeted me that this is the most boring Super Bowl ever. I think they were just a hater.
And they're like, it's just a Rihanna concert wrapped in a football game. I was like, okay.
That's still kind of cool. Sounds cool.
Stephen A. Smith said one thing she's not is Beyonce, though.
That's true. So Stephen A.
is going to be watching

just pretending she's Beyonce.

Yeah. Okay.

He never said that because it got deleted.

What do you mean? He deleted

it off Twitter. But then he

made a personal apology video to Rihanna,

which is like next level Stephen A. Smith.

But the real video was not there.

Now Rihanna has to engage with me and talk

to me about how I'm sorry that

I disregarded her.

First Super Bowl in Arizona

All right. A video was not there.
Now Rihanna has to engage with me and talk to me about how I'm sorry that I disregarded her. First Super Bowl in Arizona without the Patriots involved.
Will anyone even care? Yeah. No, I was just thinking about that.
People are talking about that. They are talking about that.
And then, I don't know. I mean, again, I guess Max doesn't care about history.
He probably doesn't care about government either. But I don't know if you guys saw what the Philadelphia mayor said.
He said, well, blow the doors off this parade. I'm on my way out.
I'll spend whatever they want. That's kind of nice if they win.
But if they lose, you're just kind of admitting that you don't give a shit about doing your job and caring about your city. So, you know, again, I guess he doesn't care about that because whatever.
But also fun PMT storyline. This was the first Super Bowl city that hank pft and i hung out it's true in arizona yeah my 30th birthday that's a fun time yeah what a great time what a great night led to one of the craziest finishes in super bowl history it did yeah i wasn't there for that that was i was there for that well that was yeah yeah best weekend of my life and i pete i guess i guess i'll yeah i'll count i'll count that as part of the weekend but that was the best weekend of my life that was a fantastic weekend Justin Pedroia's pool.
I guess I'll count that as part of the weekend, but that was the best weekend of my life. That was a fantastic weekend.
I was looking through my pictures on my phone the other day. For some reason, I was scrolling back to that weekend, and I had a picture.
I sent it to Hank. It's of that snap right before Russell Wilson through the interception.
I sent it to him. I thought he would enjoy it.
Did you enjoy it? Yeah, I loved it. Yeah.
You always have those memories. Yeah, truly.
Rick Ross. Probably never happened again, but at least you've got those memories.
Yeah. That's not true.
Well, you guys, I will have those memories. You guys have no memories.
No memories. No happiness.
We're like memento. But maybe this weekend.
Maybe, you know, Max. I'm officially Chiefs, by the way.
What did Mike Dicka say? Of course you are. Of course you are.
That passes for cowards and losers. Cowards and losers, yeah.
No, of course. We all knew you were going to end up on the Chiefs.
Yeah, it's not really a surprise, Hank. Now, I'm not saying that I'm not also going to support the Chiefs, but it was pretty obvious this whole time that you were not going to be on Philly's side.
Because you can convince yourself, and I actually kind of agree, like, reaching Tom Brady's Super Bowls is a monumental task. It's just, it's more like in the now, you want the Chiefs to win.
Maybe in 10 years, you will be like, whoops, if he's going for his sixth. Right, but I have to sit with this guy two feet in front of me.
Yeah. That's true.
Philly's also coming for Titletown. Oh, really? The Sixers? Hottest team in the NBA.
The Phillies? The Union? The Union? Yeah. Titletown, baby.
You guys have to win the title first. Every team in Philly is very good right now.
Wait, who's the best team in the NBA?

I should have said that.

Max, if I were you, I would delete this from this podcast.

Who is currently the number one team in the NBA, Max?

Who is currently the hottest team in the NBA?

Who is currently the number one team in the NHL, Max?

I don't care about hockey.

Got it.

All right.

Just curious.

Max, I'm just saying. For the record, it's the Celtics and the Bruins.
You should have at least one title under your belt, like current title, for you to start saying titles. Or like one title in the last, I don't know, 10 years.
The Eagles. The Eagles.
Okay, they got one. Yeah.
I mean, it was pretty big. It was against your Patriots.
All right. This was like a set.
No, it wasn't.

No, it wasn't.

I like that.

The haters list.

It was good.

Billy, you got another brothers joke?

No, but trust the process has probably been the biggest Ponzi scheme ever perpetuated

on a city.

Literally.

I don't know.

It kind of worked.

They've had like seven processes.

None of them have worked.

The process.

They got the guys.

They just picked the wrong guys.

They picked Markel Fultz and Ben Simmons. And Nerlens Dwell.
The actual... Well, Embiid, yeah, of course.
But I'm saying the process... I always am a fan of the process because I always thought the brutal honesty of a team being like, we're trying to suck so that one day we can get good, I actually am a big fan of.
Yes, tanking works. It objectively works.
If the Redskins had lost to that Dolphins team, I would have Joe Burrow right now. That's just a fact.
If Davis Mills hadn't thrown that touchdown pass, then the Bears wouldn't have the number one pick and Max wouldn't have a belly full of hot dogs right now, which we'll get to in a minute. Okay, should hot seat cool throw one last story yeah will the bosas watch oh are the bosas going to watch because uh it was nick bosa they asked him and he said he was not going to watch the super bowl and i need to know if joey bosa plans on watching the super bowl solidarity i think he can't watch joey's had a last a bad last couple days was the Bosa parking lot video, and then another video emerged of Bosa in the boxes, in the luxury suites at the game, and people were just showing them pictures of Trevor Lawrence on their phones being like, this guy just kicked your ass.
Oh, man. And he was, again, very, very triggered by the entire thing.
Yeah. Just a bad look for the Bosaoses this week.
I need to know, though, if either one of them will watch.

Yeah.

Let the boy watch.

Okay, Hank, hot seat, cool throne. My hot seat is MrBeast? Oh.
It's kind of similar to my Dana White question mark last week. MrBeast made a video.
MrBeast, for those that don't know, just does... He's a YouTuber.
I think he's the biggest YouTuber that exists. He has like a bajillion subscribers.
Does a lot of videos where the premise of the video is just giving people money and having them do something or having, you know, I brought 300 people to compete in a board game and the winner gets a million dollars. Or just...
He does all these types of pranks and stuff, but in general, just giving away money he's very generous guy good-hearted dude in his recent video it was curing a thousand people of blindness what that was the title of the video like i cured a thousand people of blindness i think he paid for their medical stuff but people are upset at him because they said he didn't do enough or like he was kind of using that as clickbait oh and so now it's just a classic story of one of the most universally loved people the internet is seemingly starting to turn on him yeah i mean the internet he's on the hot seat or not because i don't think i mean i think he's no it's a bunch of fucking losers who sit on their computers all day and he if you have if you have a ton of money you can't do anything correct in their eyes you could either like if you give it all away they're gonna be like well you did it for a tax write-off or if you don't give any away you're like why are you hoarding this money or if you do what mr beast does and gives people a chance to win the money it's like well you're taking advantage of them you really can't win or if you give people the the necessary to see They're like, well, you're just using them for clout But guess what? At the end of the day, he's still paying for, what, a thousand people? Right To be able to see, which is cool I think the objection should be the fact that There are so many people out there that need a simple surgery That costs like a thousand dollars That can't afford it Right And then their entire lives would be changed and they would be able to go to work and have a real job and contribute back to society yeah be mad at how we do health care be mad at health care not at mr beast correct providing single-payer health care to these people as an individual that's that's a fact and like the 300 people to play a board game to win a million dollars like who wouldn't want to to compete in that right that's fun yeah like okay i'm pro mr beast yeah for much the same reason why i'm pro that syracuse guy now is because maybe one day he'll give me money yeah who mr beast just a thought uh who can stay in a bowling alley the longest for a million dollars? We're up for it.

I'll do it.

Let us know.

My cool throw is Max Homa. Yeah.
Okay. On Saturday, he won $1.5 million, winning the Farmers Open tournament.
On Monday, there's a Papago Monday skins game in Arizona, which is just a community game. He won.
He showed up, won, shot a 67, won 400 bucks. That's fucked up.
I love that. That's fucked up, Max.
No, I like that. No, we got to keep him humble.
Max, you showed up and you took $400 from working class golfers. You're worse than Mr.
Beast. Better and worse than Mr.
Beast. Way worse.
Way worse. Max probably found out like Riggs was playing.
He was like, well, I'm not letting that guy win any money. No, that's a cool move.
a cool move. I would do the same thing.
Like, I always say that, I mean, we're going to talk about it with Pete Weber. We talked about like him going, showing up and playing in like rec leagues.
And he's like, yeah, I still do it. If you came in second, would you be mad or like, this is cool.
That's the risk you take. Mad.
Yeah. Oh, if I came in second to Max in that event, I'd be mad at Max.
I'd be like, I mean, it's a cool story to tell, but at the end of the day, Max Homa just showed up fresh off a win. But it actually is weirdly similar to Mr.
Beast that, like, if you want Max Homa to play in that game, if you play in that game, because if you play the round of your life, you beat Max Homa. That's fucking cool.
Like, imagine being like, yeah, I beat him. Like, you know if you know when lebron you only won by one one stroke remember when lebron got embarrassing max remember when lebron got dunked on and then he got deleted from the internet yeah that poor guy like he dunked on lebron that's fucking awesome i i just i still think that come on max let's see let the Let the community golfers have their $400.

Spend more time with your kid.

You see what he said on the radio?

Speaking of that, he usually doesn't keep golf balls,

but he kept the one from his win to give to his son down the road one day.

His first son is a dad.

His son's going to be like, what do I do with this?

Great story.

His son's going to be like, I'm too, Dad.

Does this come off?

I'm going to take this off and give it to my kids.

That thing is disgusting.

It's so gross. It's so gross.
All right pft your hot seat cool throne um my hot seat is artificial intelligence because you know that chat gpt artificial intelligence thing well they've designed a feature on it yeah and the new feature is an AI system that can tell when its own AI system has been used to write a paper or a blog, maybe, or anything. So on one hand, I'm glad that they came up with this.
On the other, it's a little weird that now we're trusting robots to police themselves for being robots. This seems like we're just – every story that comes out about AI in the last six, eight months just feels like we're just doing Skynet.
It feels like it's Terminator all over again. I hope this new robot is not real and they're just using it to scare people.
Like, you know, like peeing in the pool and your bathing suits turn purple. Yeah.
That was never real. Yeah.
Or like Santa. It just scared the whole country.
Yeah. Right.
You better behave because AI clause is looking out. Yeah.
Billy should be scared. I'm not scared.
Oh, okay. We need you to test this out, Billy.
I know. I just like interviewing the chat robot about news about it, and it makes great blogs.
You think that that's going to give you trustworthy information? I'm just like, yo, chat GPT, what do you think about Microsoft buying you? Do you trust bill gates and then it's just it gets really funny what does he say you're basically just sitting talking to smarter child yeah yeah oh smart child that's a nice throwback yeah what's smart child don't worry about it yeah you didn't have aim or aim whatever you want to call uh pft your cool throne my cool throne is some guy on twitch i forget the guy's name speaking of ai it's some guy on twitch i saw a video of him last night i don't know what the fuck i watched atria i didn't understand what was going on but best i didn't want to learn any more about it i sent a link to hank and i want hank to explain it but i'm can i try to explain it best of my understanding yeah i would love to hear it okay so this guy on he's a guy on twitch and he lives with his girlfriend slash wife wife okay so he lives with his wife maybe fiance and uh this guy watched porn and his wife caught him watching porn and then he made her sit next to him while he did a twitch stream apologizing and made her cry because she was watching her husband apologize for jacking off wait he dan orlowski did a twitch stream no it was alex bennett oh okay no no but he was like straight up apologizing to his wife and his wife was in tears and he was in tears and he was like i'm sorry in a moment of weakness i typed in you porn and then uh and then i clicked on one of the games ah you know like the games that say like i bet you won't last i didn't know anyone ever clicked on though this guy did and got caught damn so he he didn't get caught he got caught by his stream like he was on he was streaming he was on his internet browser they saw the tab and they saw the website that it was and they're like what the fuck is this his video he said i've been doing all this ai research talking about all this ai and similar thing it was a website that pops up he's a popular streamer he's friends with all the big female streamers wait so he can't watch porn the website that he was on is an AI porn website that is deepfake. It deepfakes the girls that he's friends with.
Okay, that's different. So he's jacking off to his friends.
That's fucked up. But it wasn't even them.
It was deepfakes. Yes.
Yeah, that's fucked up. Of like, I mean, it's like Pokimane.
Yeah, he's doing. His names you're not going to know.
He's like... And he's friends with them.
Yeah. It's like he streams with them and interacts with them and stuff.
Yeah. So that is kind of to be like, oh, this girl's hot.
Let me deep fake a porn so I can jerk off to her. But then he made his wife sit there while he apologized for jacking off to his friend.
Yeah. Right.
But he said he just clicked on it by accident. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was like, I've been doing all this AI research, so you try to tie it in. It's a real-life Shaq meme.
I'm sorry, Pokeyman. I was not familiar with your game.
Yeah. Damn.
That's tough for him. Yeah.
Okay, so I'm on the side because this whole deepfake thing. The poor wife.
I'm on the side of the poor wife. Yeah, I'm on her side.
She got brought onto a stream to cry for clout that's tough as far as knowing that your husband's like jerking off to like the people that he basically works with kind of like it's it's weird and he was like i've tried to be a good guy and i had a moment of weakness i don't know what his term for moment of weakness is or where that comes in like i've never clicked on a link being like i want to jack off to my friends yeah that's not really that sounds like a lifestyle choice not a moment of weakness but I the whole deep fake thing is really strange because we've all been worried that's going to come to the porn issue at some point and so now there are just websites out there that create you can just deep fake anybody doing porn that sounds very dangerous to me well though the way it was prefaced in the tweet was like i was very confused because like he got caught by his wife like watching porn or something i was like this doesn't seem that serious and then i had to do some research on like what exactly he did in the website he was on it's like oh this is yeah very fucked up yeah that sounds fucked up i i don't know who she is but i stand with pokemon yeah yeah i don't even know yeah yeah it pokyman it's fucked up if a guy that you thought was your friend was jacking off to you low-key yeah that's tough yeah pokyman um all right my hot seat is um i guess how i shower because i shower in the morning so billy actually retweeted this onto his timeline i saw it it. It's a meme that says blue pill showering in the morning, red pill showering at night.
And then it's people with common sense and it's a bunch of red pills. And I, I've always showered in the morning.
I don't, I listen, I know that then it became like a whole issue that I was like, like not understanding like blue collar worker. Of course, if you work manual labor and you like work hard with your you know body and you're sweating and

stuff yeah you'd shower at night not shower in the morning or just take two showers or take two

showers but i are are any of you guys rolling into work not showered no i i shower in the morning

i didn't shower today i feel miserable yeah i shower in the morning and then i mean podcasting

is sweaty business sometimes i'll shower at night but if if I work out, then I shower at night. I don't sleep in my sweat.
No. So I shower, I'd say one, I shower 1.25 times a day.
And the one time is always morning. Yeah.
And it's not like, of course, if you go to the gym, if you had a, if it's like, you know, 90 degrees. haircut.
Yeah. There's a lot of times that you would shower at night, but it's more like people who are not showering in the morning and walking into an office.
What are you doing? Again, blue collar. Totally understand.
Why would you like if you have to get up at fucking five in the morning? There's no reason to shower and go work with your hands. But people working like a nine to five in an office not showering in the morning that's fucking weird i think i would still shower if i was working up at like 5 45 and going to work on like carburetors because it wakes you up it does it wakes you up makes you feel clean it makes you feel fresh and then you have the coffee brewing while you're in the shower and then people were saying they were shaming me like you're walking around and getting dirty all day and then getting into bed.
What do I do all day? Like if I don't sweat, what do I do? I don't. For clothes or for.
Yeah, I don't go into my bed with my jeans on. That's a good point, Hank.
Yeah. Wait, were you saying clothes as in like you walk around and your clothes absorb all your dirt? They block it.
Right. I'd say they also absorb.
They absorb the dirt. But then you take off your clothes.
Like I put on a new. If like i put on multiple layers it's not getting through multiple layers so the routine is you go home you go to bed you take your clothes off you're still wearing your underwear yeah you get in bed and then in the morning you shower and then you put on the new underwear correct yeah it's crazy i was thinking about this sometimes i don't shower in the morning but i wash my face and lot of deodorant.
Okay. But that's usually after.
We can tell those mornings. Go off.
That's usually after I work out late at night and I shower directly afterwards. Yes.
Okay. That makes sense.
It depends on how clean the sheets are, too. If I shower late at night, because sometimes I do shower late at night, too, I won't shower the next morning.
I get that. But sometimes I do just out of routine.
Yeah, I do that occasionally.

So if it's a late night workout, you shower before bed, then you wake up in the morning.

You might just do like a little dust and you get out.

But mostly that's the only time that I'll ever not shower in the morning.

But also you keep your AC or don't turn your heat on so you don't sweat.

I sweat every night as cold no matter what.

So that's why I also shower. But it's weird.
I guess i'm in the minority that people are not showering in the mornings i think i think it might have also been a troll i have 2 000 replies to the tweet yeah of people debating showering and i yeah i don't know it's i showering in the. Yeah.
You've got to shower in the morning. It's actually a perfect debate because everyone lives such different lifestyles.
Yeah, I guess. Yeah.
It is a dumb debate. It's like one of those ones like, how do you not eat this with this? It's like, well.
Well, we should start one like, is breakfast necessary? That would cause a stir. Actually, let's get that on.
Yes, I'm team breakfast. Yeah, I like breakfast.
But intermittent fasting takes up too much time in the morning. You can have breakfast for dinner.
No, but just like eating just when you wake up. Do you do that? Are people going to be heated about this? I think it would fall right with showers.
I eat breakfast 50% of the time. I think it's just weird to not shower in the morning because it makes you fresh for the day.
It wakes you up. You put on new clothes.
I'll say that if you have an office job and you work some semblance of 8 to 5, 9 to 6, somewhere in that range, and you don't shower in the morning before your office job, that's weird. Yeah.
That's weird. Now, as far as other lifestyles, we don't know because we don't do those.
Of course. Of course.
Blue collar, I totally get it. I would do the same thing.
I wouldn't shower in the morning. I'd go work, and then I'd shower when I got home.
But yeah, I guess shower debates are... It was one of those ones, too, where I tweeted it right before we walked into the bowling alley.
Yeah. And I didn't even really look at it again.
And then I looked at it again when we got back to the office. I was like the fuck people are really debating showering yeah i'm you know listen i'm pro shower yeah shower once or twice a day um my cool throne is uh bubba watson bubba watson is joined the live tour we knew that um also just shout out anyone who joins the liver live tour like after the first wave you just it's a lot easier but he said uh the reason why he joined the live tour is because quote my 10 year old was sitting in in the bed with me and we were watching golf on the tv and he knew the aces everybody knows the aces they keep winning he knew the aces he knew the stingers so he basically was like because the team aspect and my kids can follow along easier that's's why I took like $100 million from the Saudis.

Yeah, no, that makes sense.

So I like it.

So he also said, like, my kid loves the Cowboys, the Yankees, and the Aces.

So now we get to add the Aces to Hank's favorite team.

Yes, you're an Aces guy.

Big time.

Put a future on the Aces.

You love the Aces.

Done.

Always been an Aces guy.

All right, Billy, your hot seat, cool to run.

My hot seat, also Mr. Beast, also the other streamer and showers uh all that but last one new york times new york times because not only was i featured was did they feature a story i wrote i was in the new york times uh for the bone hunting things new york times i shouldn't be in the new york times as much no i agree yeah that's actually fuck dude billy i think that might be the smartest thing you've ever said It's kind of weird.
New York Times. I shouldn't be in the New York Times as much.
No, I agree. What the fuck, dude? Billy, I think that might be the smartest thing you've ever said.
Kind of weird. Billy football should never be featured in the New York Times.
Kind of was like, what the hell? My cool throne is the Dallas Zoo because there's been a string of break-ins in the Dallas Zoo, breaking out various animals. Cloud Leopard, Emperor Tamarin.
Two monkeys were stolen, but they recovered the monkeys. Oh, nice.
Cool thrown down because something was going on. The cloud leopard? The leopard escaped, they found it and put it back in, and then there was a vulture that got seriously injured, and then another monkey was also released but then found.
But someone was literally breaking into the zoo and trying to steal animals. That kind of rocks.
Yeah, it does. If that's what the Joker is up to, then I love the Joker.
Unfortunately, it wasn't like a wildlife PETA type. It was like exotic animal smugglers trying to steal them.
Oh, I don't like that. That doesn't rock.
But if it's just for the chaos aspect, if it's like Heath Ledger's Joker and what he's doing in Gotham is just like breaking in and opening up like the giraffe gate. That's fucking awesome.
That's like Goodnight Gorilla. Yeah.
That children's book, OG Joker. Got it.
Yeah. Yeah.
OG Joker. All right, Jake.
My hot seat is Pro Bowl qualifications. Yes.
Tyler Huntley, who threw two touchdowns and three interceptions this year, is heading to the Pro Bowl. This kind of bummed me out because – I understand there's injuries and Super Bowl exemptions, but there's got to be – So what you're saying is the Ravens can afford to get rid of Lamar.
Yeah, they've got a Pro Bowl quarterback behind them. It also is just so stupid that they have to send someone when they aren't even playing the real game this year, right? Right.
I don't get it. Why do you need a quarterback? Derek Carr and Trevor Lawrence were at it as well, but injuries to – well, Mahomes is exempt.
Tua, Herbert, and Lamar were all ahead of him and all backed out. I'm trying to think who else should have been ahead of him from the AFC.
Josh Allen and Burrow? I mean, can he pick it? Can he pick it? Yeah. Yeah.
I mean mean they're almost in the playoffs like white yeah Mike White would have better better choice than Tyler Huntley I agree I guess because the Ravens made the playoffs and he started and almost won that game yeah that's true that is true so okay yeah uh my cool throne first responders specifically in New York City it was officially announced uh earlier this week that Barstool Sports will be hosting and broadcasting the annual NYPD FDNY hockey game on Barstool.tv. Hell yeah.
Who's going to be in that? Who's going to be doing the play-by-play? April 15th. I'll be joining the Spittin' Chicklets crew.
Oh, wow. I'm very excited.
So meme, biz, and the boo. Saturday what? April 15th.
Oh, tax day. So, is it? Yeah.
April 15th. Well, I guess this year it would be the Monday.

17th.

So the way the schedule works is that time.

Do you not pay your taxes?

No, I do.

How do you not know April 15th is tax day?

He probably pays right when he gets the form.

Right when it's 1099 arrives.

I sent myself to someone.

They help.

Okay.

Good.

Sounds like you don't pay your taxes.

I do.

I can send the form to somebody else who doesn't. To you guys.
Yep. You and Bosco.
So the way the schedule works out is that when this game is being broadcasted by a Saturday, April 15th, it's at the time off in between the regular season and the postseason for the NHL. So we will be the only game on that.
Oh, hell yes. Nice.
So there's no conflict of watching hockey and watching us watching NHL so yeah Barcelona TV we'll have more information as it gets closer but Saturday April 15 with a spitting checklist FDNY versus NYPD this is going to be a sold out UBS arena where the Islanders play gotta get your Irish names ready yeah I feel like a lot of Ryans and Kevin's playing in that game. Oh, Sullivan's.
Yeah. Yeah.
It'll be a great game. I'm really excited.
Yeah. It seems like an awesome event.
Okay. So can't wait for that.
Awesome. Are they allowed to fight? Yeah.
Apparently. Call it rough and rowdy on ice.
Yeah. Apparently gets really heated.
I love it. I'm really excited.
We're going to try and get the players to fight in the next rough around. Oh, hell yes.
In theory, could the police team just arrest the firefighting team for trying to fight them? Yeah. I don't know.
Who's side are you guys on? Check out NYPDFGNY. I hate fires and I love crime.
What about when fire is a crime? Arson? Yeah. Arson, there's the overlap, and that's the verbal handshake.
Yeah. Fuck.
Who are you on, Hank? I'm going to roll with the FDNY, I think. I'm NYPD.
We know. 10 times out of 10.
We know. Yeah, I think I got to go FDNY.
I just love the line in the party of the fucking five. I just fucking pricks.
I have fire. I just say that to them all the time.
Also, I reserve the right to change once I figure out if there's a betting line on it and who I'm going to pick. I'm going to take the over.
Yeah. Yeah, definitely.

Now, it is Peteber. He has over 100 titles to his name.
Is that true? Over 100 titles to his name. I'm going to set the stage real quick, Pete.
I want to call you Mr. Webber because you are a legend.
All right. Should I call you Mr.
Webber? No. Please don't.
All right. We have been doing this show for seven years now.
We've interviewed a lot of people, a lot of different people from a lot of different sports. You have passed the test of I'm actually nervous to interview you because you are such a legend.
I just want to say that to get ready. Why am I such a legend? Because you are a sport.
It's like growing up, Pete Weber was bowling. Yes.
Yeah, but I'm still doing it. You are still doing it.
Yeah, and I still thoroughly enjoy it too. I still love the competition.
I still love love being out there you know so i i just don't feel like i'm a legend yet but i appreciate you you're a legend and i think that it would be disservice not to just start right where everyone wants us to start let's just do it give us the whole quote you say who do you think you are i am uh what did you finish it with got it or something like that was it yes god damn it yes yes god that is right yes i did i did it number do you think you are i am yeah get it right i what what does where did you come up with who do you think you are i am or did it just come out of you well actually uh it just was kind of a miss say because i was sitting there and i

was i was thinking what i was going to say to the kid that was giving me trouble during the match

and it was like i wanted to say who do you think you are with me in my house yeah you know and it

just came out who do you think you are i am so and that's the best part of the story that i think a

lot of people don't know that was directed to a 12 year old kid oh yeah 12 13 14 you know

Thank you. you are i am so and that's the best part of the story that i think a lot of people don't know that was directed to a 12 year old kid oh yeah 12 13 14 you know i'm not real sure that makes it even better like so what was the kid was like heckling you during the game well he he rooted out loud a couple times against me the second frame when i left the 10 pin he he just loud enough yes you loud enough.
Yes. You know, that when I left the 10 pin and you know, I don't care if you root, but don't root loud enough for me to hear.
Yeah. You know, cause that's just takes away from everything, but it pisses me off.
So, you know, when I get mad, I, I let people know about it and I've never held back. Now, after you do the, Do You Think You Are I Am, did you know that it was an iconic moment in the moment, or was it afterwards where people start sharing it? Were you like, I'm Pete Weber.
That was gold, what I just gave the people. No, actually, I thought, God, what a stupid saying.
And then it started showing up on SportsCenter and all the halls of shame across the country. No hall of shame.
Yeah, but, you know, I didn't take it that way. I figured, well, I did something good, and bowling is getting attention.
And that's what we need is we need attention, and who better to do it than me? It was iconic. And I also think that, was it Ernie McCracken from Kingpin? Yeah.
Bill Murray's character, he was loosely based after you, right? Did you watch that movie and you're like, yeah, this is pretty good? Yeah, I've seen Kingpin, yes. But that came out before I started doing all my antics.
All the antics, the bad boy of bowling. Do you take pride in knowing that you were the bad boy of bowling? Absolutely.
Absolutely. I mean, you know, I've always been a gracious winner, and I've always been a gracious loser.
But there's a time to be bad, a time to be pissed off, and a time to get angry. And when people do that to me, then I'm not going to hold back.
It's just not fair to me, and it's not fair to my opponents that people do that. So let's start from the beginning.

Pete Weber, the bowler.

Your dad was obviously a famous bowler as well.

At what age were you like, this is it, this is my career.

I know that I'm going to be one of the best of all time at bowling.

Well, growing up, you know, I bowled with my brothers.

I bowled with my sister, which everybody in my family, except my mother, had a 300 game. Really? So, you know, that's kind of cool to say.
Her high game was 289. So, you know, 10 pin and 11 shot.
So she was very happy about that. But, you know, I turned 14 and I decided that I wanted to bowl men's league.
And my dad gave me permission, signed the ABC consent form for me to bowl men's league. And the first game in men's league, I shot 300.
Really? And then they proceeded to hand me $100. And I was like, hmm, back in 1976, $100 went a long way.
Yeah. But, you know, I was like, oh, wow, I can actually make some money at this.
And then by the time I was 15 and 16 and winning some little regional tournaments and then local tournaments, it was like, yeah, this is what I want to do. And Dad always told me from about 14 on, he says, Pete, you're the best in're gonna surpass me and be better than me and I said dad I'm sorry but you're Dick Weber I'll never be better than you even though I have more titles than him I will never say that I'm better than him yeah when was your what was your first uh 300 when how old were you I was 12 years old I was bowling in adult junior league with my junior coach from saturdays and i shot 300 and he actually shot 299 oh yeah so beat him by one pin yeah and he shot maybe like one of the best oh yeah he was a good bowler back he a 12-year-old.
Yeah, but any given day, right?

Yeah.

So how many 300s have you bowled in your life?

I could not tell you.

I know it's probably over 120, maybe more than that.

Are they all built the same, or are some 300s better than others?

I have one 300 that really sticks out.

I was in a Pba tournament in detroit um on the left lane i had five brooklyn's which is hitting the left side of the head pin for a right hander okay that would be hitting the brooklyn side is going crossover okay and then And on the right lane, I had seven, or yeah, seven, 10 in the pit strikes. Okay.
Normal strikes. Yep.
But to get five Brooklands on one lane and shoot 300, that's pretty lucky. Now, is it more difficult to bowl if you're the last lane, like if the wall is next to you, or is it easier to bowl? Or maybe I'm just completely, maybe there's no difference no difference whatsoever i know that if you're a basketball player a lot of times you prefer to shoot in a gym that that has a wall right behind you because it helps with depth perception is there any difference at all where you're at in a bowling alley in terms of which lane you're on no not really you do have to be careful sometimes because sometimes like lane one or the high-end lane, they have a drop- a drop off okay like you have to step up to get on the approach and sometimes when you're playing that deep on the lane like if i'm playing like the sixth arrow on the left hand side i have to stand over there so i have to protect myself from trying to fall off so there are things that we have to protect ourselves about i would rather have the solid wall there and no drop off because i can deal with that more than i could deal with dropping off so bowling a 300 obviously since you've done it over 120 times is there a point in a 300 game where you start to get a little nervous you're like oh this is this looks like it could be a 300 game like this is happening well every everybody says the first one is the hardest one to throw okay i totally disagree i think the 10th one is yeah because if you don't get the 10th one then you have no chance well if you don't get any of them you don't have no chance but if you got the front nine that 10th one is the most important yeah so i think the 10th one is the most Is there a rule like in baseball you're not supposed to talk about a no-hitter? Are you supposed to talk about a .300 as it's in progress? Oh, it's probably a myth, but I don't like to say anything about it, but it's always popping in my mind, especially when I got five or six in a row.
It's like, hey, you can shoot 300 this game yeah yeah you know if you keep throwing it good like you are yeah so yeah there's a point in time and what about the tactical glasses what made you start wearing those and do you think that was a competitive advantage i mean you look like a badass like i'm just saying frankly like i see you with the tactical glass i'm like it's on it's pete weber time well it uh

there was one tv show i was bowling to where espn had a lot of lights at the time and they shined the light right on the mark on the lane that i was looking at and i couldn't see it because of the light so i went to espn i said you have to adjust that light so i can see my mark and they He looked at me.

No, we don't.

Like, oh, okay, so forget about the bowlers and make sure you're all right yeah so a guy Eric Forkel came up to me handed me a pair of sunglasses he said try these so I put them on and I threw a couple shots and I said yeah that works I can see what I'm doing And it just added to the bad boy image a little bit more. So that's why I kept wearing them.
Yeah. What about growing up? You're raised in a bowling family.
Bowling's around you all the time. It was something that you started to do at a young age.
You took pretty seriously from a young age. Did you always love it or was it ever something that you do because your parents are doing it and they're bringing you along? And if so, like, did you have to, did you have to learn how to love bowling? Well, no, I've always loved bowling.
Um, Dick Weber being my dad, you know, it's kind of tough not to love bowling. My whole family loves bowling.
Um, I'm sorry. I've no, I'm just curious.
Like if a lot of people, if they're, if of people, if their family is down in one line of business,

sometimes after they do it for a while, they want to try something else.

They want to move out.

But it sounds like you just always loved bowling from the time that you were a kid

up until you grew up.

Yes, I did always love bowling.

I mean, from the time I started at four years old when Dad let me start pushing

the ball down the lane, I just thoroughly enjoyed it. And growing up, it wasn't like i just bowled the whole time of my whole life i played baseball soccer i'm not big enough to play football but basketball and things like that and uh you know but when bowling came on weekends when i had baseball or tournament games and soccer or whatever bowling came first that was gonna be my life so that was gonna be first but it didn't take away from the other sports that i played you know so and my dad being the calm cool and collective man that he is has been thrown out of most st louis area quarry leagues really i mean that's just the weber a hot streak, right? Have you been thrown out of a St.
Louis area quarry leagues. Really? I mean, that's just the Weber hot streak, right?

Have you been thrown out of a few of them?

Not yet.

Oh, okay.

Not yet.

I have grandkids, and they play baseball and softball

and soccer, basketball, everything.

But I haven't been thrown out yet.

Okay, okay.

So the other part, I mean, you have a crazy story

because you obviously had, in the 80s,

you had a phase where maybe you were living you know, living the fast life, the bowling fast life, and you were able to kind of clean up. You went to rehab.
You got, you know, got rid of the cocaine addiction. What was when you were going through that and you're still competitively bowling? Like, were you were you able to compete at a high level even when you were partying? Oh, yeah.
you know being young you can do a lot of things when you're still competitively bowling like were you were you able to compete at a high level even when you were partying oh yeah you know being young you can do a lot of things when you're young but once you start getting older it's not it's not good for you yeah you know you wake up going oh god when you're young it doesn't matter when you wake up yeah but you know it just i got over it i started doing what I needed to do and everything's cool now yeah I did read one story that you bowled what was it like a 260 after after slamming Long Island iced teas all day is that true yeah there might have been I think that might have been down in Dallas Texas and yeah was slammed about eight or nine Island iced teas between squads. Came back and averaged 260.
I went from like 21st to 6th. I missed the TV show by like 10 pins.
I mean, look, like addiction is obviously not a joke, but it does because you're a great story that was able to overcome it. Like it adds to Pete Webber bad boy lore that you had this like i think your dad what he say was like a dark eight years and you just you came out better for it and won a bunch of titles after it just it was a bad part of my life that i wish i could change but you know after everything was said and done i came out and i i did win and i i did make a living at what i wanted to do yeah Yeah.
So I'm very happy with my career. Who was your biggest rival? Walter Ray Williams Jr.
And was it heated? Was it like you guys wouldn't talk after matches and stuff? No, no. It's nothing like that.
I mean, we're friends. Yeah.
We're on the senior tour together. We've played golf together.
We've had dinner together. So, you know, it's not a personal rivalry.
It's a bowling rivalry that I'm like 0-5 or 0-6 at him in title matches. Oh, no.
I've beat him on TV, but I've never beat him for a title. So that's why I say that's my bowling rivalry.
And does he still bowl? Can we maybe do a pay-per-view event? Pete Weber, final redemption? Oh, hey, bring it on. We might have to do that.
It would be amazing if we could get Chris Berman involved to do the intro for it, because I remember I used to watch Sunday Countdown, and Chris Berman would be talking about the NFL games that were coming up, and then it would just cut off, and then the bowling would start on ESPN. i i would love to have chris perman i yeah i'm sure you know i've watched him since this big so you know it's uh i would love to have him out there is there uh is there a particularly shot that you that you made over the course of your career that stands out from all the others like the most difficult shot the most the most clutch bowl of your life well that would that That would have to be the fifth U.S.
Open when I struck on the fill ball to win by a pin. It's every bowler's dream to do that.
Every bowler out there, and if they say it's not, they're lying. So can you walk us through that? Because we are admittedly bowling novices.
So walk us through what happened on that one. Well, Michael Fagan ended up shooting 214, I think.

So if I get the first one in the 10th, I automatically win.

And I threw a great shot.

I'm running it out, ringing 10.

So I got to make the spare and strike to win by a pin.

Made the spare.

And for some reason, you know i was very very calm when i threw that last shot to strike i i thought i'd be really nervous but i was very very calm i didn't get you know over zealous about throwing the shot took my time wound up throwing the strike and all broke loose. What goes through your mind during a game? Are you a kind of competitor that gets almost zinned out where you just are focusing so deeply that you tune everything else out? Are you thinking about other things? Do you find yourself in the zone? What goes on inside your head during a competition? Well, most of the guys on tv they won't watch their opponent's bowl i have to watch my opponent bowl if i try to look away it's i still wind up going like you know out of the side of the eye or something just to see what he does um but i've always watched my opponent um you know i i i never think negatively it's always He's like, I already gave you a shot.
Take advantage of it. Get up there.
Let's go. Make the best shot you know how.
So, you know, it's all about making the best shot that you can. And it's, you know, some guys take a lot of time.
I refuse to take a lot of time because I think the more I stand there and think about it, the more apt I am to going to throw a bad shot. Yeah.
So I get up and I put my fingers in the ball, put my thumb in the ball, deep breath. As soon as that breath is out, I go.
And that way I feel calm when I'm starting my approach. And that's just me.
You know, other guys have different ways of doing things. But, you know, with me, it's just the less time I take, the better off I am.
Has there ever been any in your time in bowling, professional bowling, was there ever any cheating controversies? Was there ever anyone who was trying to do something illegal that got caught? I'm just fascinated. Like, what would even cheating be like? The rules, I assume, have changed over the years.
Has there anyone done anything where it's like, this guy, what is he doing here? He's greasing his ball too much? I don't even know what it would look like. Well, it's hard to cheat in bowling because you always have somebody watching.
So's very hard to cheat there used to be to where you know they would put barium in the finger holes and then cover them with wood putty huh so you know then you got a little extra power in the bowling ball but then the PVA came up with a metal detector oh that's awesome so there's no metal in the bowling in the bowling ball. The opposite of a corked bat.
Yeah. Making it heavier.
See, that's the kind of stuff that fascinates me, what people were trying to do to skirt the laws. Yeah.
But other than that, we have a hardness rule. It's 75 degrees hardness.
Don't ask me what it means. What does that mean? I have no idea.
I have no idea. I'm not that technical.
Is that the ball or is that the lane? That's the ball. The outside of the ball, I guess, has to be 75 hardness.
Why, I don't know. But when the ball heats up and gets warm, it loses some of that.
It'll go down in softness, to 74 73 this is like to flake gate yeah and sometimes back when we were checking bowling balls a lot more than we do now um you were there were some guys told do not use that ball it's too soft interesting and then they used it anyway wow and got caught and got disqualified so that's you know it's just it it's like i said it's really hard to cheat in bowling what about peds have there ever been any pd accusations no steroids steroids adderall maybe for focus well i'm sure there have been yeah did they drug test? No. What about innovation in bowling?

Has there been in your time someone who showed – isn't there the guy from Australia who does a weird –

Jason Belmonte.

Yeah, he does a weird spin.

So when that comes out, is everyone looking at it like,

what the hell is going on here?

How is this guy doing this?

Yeah, kind of at first, yeah.

So what did he do exactly?

Can you explain it?

Well, he uses only two fingers.

Okay.

He puts his hand on top of the ball, which, if you ever watch him, he dries his left hand more than he dries his right hand. Interesting.
To make sure that the ball doesn't slip on his left hand. Right.
So I kind of stand up. That's okay.
Yeah, show us. So he goes through his approach, but there's kind of like a little hop in there.
And he actually does that. I'm not, I can't do it.
I've tried, but I just can't do it. But he generates so much rotation and power on the bowling ball that, well, you know, when they first started seeing that, you know, they were like, wow.
You know, when they first started watching me, they said, well, or Marshall Holman or Mark Roth. Wow, those are power players, man.
They get a lot of revs on the ball. And boy, I want to be like that.
Well, now kids today want to be like Jason Belmonte and Asku Palermo, Anthony Simonson, the twohanders, because of how hard their bowling ball hits the pins now. Right.
And lane conditions are really not that much of a factor for them anymore. Right.
You know, because they can always just change bowling balls. Right.
Interesting. And go to either a more aggressive bowling ball or a less aggressive bowling ball.
It's just a matter what they feel but i mean i i know there's a team in columbia the columbia national team i believe is all two-handed really are all two-handed bowlers huh interesting and you know uh the more i've traveled you know when jason belmonte first came out on the tour with his two, the more I traveled around the world, like to Europe and Asia and places like that, I found more and more two-handers that want to do that. Or that the one-handers, what do you want to learn? More power.
Well, gosh, I mean, come on. You already got 550 revs on the ball already.
I can't teach you how to get more. Right.
Yeah. Besides taking your thumb out and going to two hands.
Right. That's the only way I can think of to make you get more power on the ball.
It sounds like they measure things like spin rate. It's like in baseball.
If you measure everything, then you can figure out what you can improve on. What about the lanes? Have the lanes changed over the years? years well we've gone from wood lanes to astralane to synthetic lanes to plastic lanes now and you know it just seems that the plastic lanes and synthetic lanes hold up a lot better you don't have to resurface them as much as say the wood lanes because the wood lanes was probably once a year you'd have to resurface them to make them even again yeah to level it out to where the these new ones the the new plastic ones are more level all the time so they don't need resurfacing as many times so they last a lot longer would you say it was it was harder to bowl back in the day than it is now because the lanes have changed i'm trying to figure out if we can get like a competition against the errors going how we always say in the 1980s, the NBA was tougher than it is nowadays.
It sounds like back in the day, the lanes might have been a little more uneven. Well, no, they weren't uneven.
Some houses, left-handers have the advantage. Some houses, the right-handers have an advantage.
It just depends on the house. It depends on the condition that they put down.
There are so many things that are the technical part of bowling that I stay away from. I am one of them bowlers that I throw the ball, I watch it.
If I don't like what I see, then I'll change. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah.
What about, what's your favorite alley in the entire U.s uh where they're having the u.s open this week woodland bowl in indianapolis okay that's that's just like pristine just yeah i've won three major titles in there uh i've won like four or five different regionals in that house so you know it's kind of that's the place yeah that holds the the heart. Yeah.
Yeah. What about who's the GOAT? Who's the best bowler of all time? That's really hard to say.
You. Is it you? Are you in the conversation? Well, I can be, yeah.
Well, you're my GOAT. Thank you.
I appreciate it. I was going to say your dad's my GOAT.
But, you know, to me, my dad is the best all ever i agree but you know like uh walter ray has 47 time or 47 titles and how many do you have i have 37 okay i'm fourth on the list okay it was walter earl anthony norm duke and then myself these are just great bowling norm duke i remember norm duke was too, growing up. Norm's a great guy.
Yeah. One of my best friends out there.
And, you know, when I bowled him, it was on. Yeah.
I mean, we had matches. We never got violent with each other, but, you know, we would always 250, 260 against each other.
Even if it was a low-scoring game, it was 2-0 to 2-teen and it was always exciting to bull

norm yeah would you find that when you're bowling against a good opponent and and he's rolling really well uh that it makes you step your game up more so than if you're going against somebody that might be having an off day well yeah you i mean you the the people you know they always want to beat me they always want to beat walter i always want to beat walter i always want to beat norm I always wanted to beat dad

which my record with my dad

in the PBA is 29 wins, one loss. Wow.
Ooh. Can you still say he's better than you? Tell me about that.
Yeah, absolutely. Tell me about that one loss.
You let him win? No, I didn't let him win. It was actually in Japan.
Okay. I needed two strikes in the 10th frame.
Got the first one. I left the 8-10 on the second one, and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Yeah. Because I just don't leave 8-10s like that.
Yeah. No, you don't.
And it wound up dad winning. Yeah.
So, you know, that was the one win that he shouldn't have got.

Was he just in your face about it afterwards?

Was he celebrating

or was he very gracious that he found the ball?

No, dad was always very gracious.

He never got in anybody's face

or let them know about it.

He was always very gracious.

It must be nice, though, to beat your son,

to get that one win against your son, though.

Just remind yourself he still got it.

He probably should have two, but the one time he needed a strike, actually, he did throw the strike, and the eight pin hit the ball and stood back up on the lead. No way.
Yeah, and that was in St. Louis in front of my mother.
Oh, no. And it was like, oh.
Did they have a review, like replay in bowling? in bowling like that pin was down by contact no if it pops back up it pops back up it's counts what about uh how many 7 10 splits have you hit i think i've made five and that's the hardest shot in bowling no it's just luck yeah really it's not skill there's no set way to pick it you just throw it one pin and hope it bounces out and hits the other one. That's got to be an incredible feeling, too, when you hit that.
Sometimes. The first one I made was like, oh, my God, I can't believe I did that.
Yeah. I mean, yeah.
But now it's like I made two last year, and it was fun. It's just a fun split to pick, even though you get lucky doing it.
It's just, you know, the fans get excited, the bowlers get excited, you get excited. So, you know, it's always a good time.
Yeah, yeah. Tell me a little bit about international bowling.
You mentioned Colombian people. They're a national team.
They do the two-handed thing. What other countries in the world are uh significant like bowling competitors oh just about every country i mean they have the pan and games over in asia where all asia the u.s goes there there's countries all over the world that go to like the the pan and games um are there different styles of bowling in different countries?

Like certain teams known for more power?

Well, everybody's got their own style.

Yeah, because I'm thinking like in soccer, you know, you can point at Spain and be like, oh, they do the short passes.

You can point at the United States and be like, oh,

they love to lose in the first round, that sort of thing.

But like when it comes to bowling, is there like,

are there certain cultures that are associated with completely different styles of bowling from others? Not that I know of. I mean, everybody's got to kind of do it the same way.
Yeah. I know Korea, they're very disciplined when it comes to bowling.
Yeah. The coach is very disciplined.
He makes the bowlers do what he wants them to do. Malaysia, I guess, might be the best country because I know a girl there, Shaolin Zoukifli, who has won gold medals in these games before.
She has her own posters, billboards in Malaysia. That's awesome.
When she got back from the game, she was mobbed by the press, by the public, for autographs, pictures, interview. Actually makes pretty good money for winning gold medals.
You win a medal in a different country, you get paid pretty good from your country. That's awesome.
I can't say that the u.s pays all that well but i've never been to one yeah yeah so you also are a scratch golfer is that right well i used to be so being an incredible bowler and scratch golfer that's got to be like the best combo of sports that you can dominate after like the age of 30 i would imagine like in your 20s maybe this is not as cool but you just like you've hit hole-in-ones right like yes i have i mean that's incredible a lot i mean scratch golfer is an insane thing to be and you also were one of the best bowlers my my my personal opinion the best bowler of all time what how like would you golf all the time when you weren't bowling oh absolutely i was that much into it that you know uh that every time that i got breaks or even out on tour i mean there were a bunch of guys that hey let's go play golf yeah okay i'm i'm in and even on the senior tour now, I mean, after we bowl like an A squad

and we have the rest of the afternoon on, there might be 8, 10, 12, 16 of us go play golf.

You're the Bo Jackson of bowling and golf.

Nah.

No, I think so.

I think so.

I was going to say it sounds like those two sports are the best ones

that you can possibly be to hustle people at.

Yeah.

Where you can just take their money. It's a lot of similarities, too.
It's good eye-hand coordination. It's rhythm.
It's timing. It's, you know, it's the same thing.
It's a different swing. Yeah.
Also, like, probably the two sports you need the most mental toughness in terms of you can't make, you know what I mean? You can't make one mistake in either of the sports. You have to be next shot has to be better than the last shot.
In bowling, you throw a good shot, you can still get a bad break. Right.
In golf, you hit a good shot, you're going to be rewarded for it. Yeah, yeah.
In golf, you see what's in front of you. In bowling, you don't until you actually throw the ball.
Yeah. So, you know, there's a lot of similarities and it's just that i i love to be in on the golf course because i spent so much time inside right that i i love to be in outside what about uh on the tour what about groupies are there fans like waiting in hotels and stuff you know just here comes pete weber well it's never happened to me okay okay i can't say if they're i'm probably sure there is yeah because i mean there's a lot of events i mean it's never happened to me okay all right hands up yeah i got you maybe malaysia yeah might happen over there no no no no pete weber groupies no there should have been.
Well, I'd imagine there's a lot of just fat dudes with mustaches that you're their hero. You never know.
You got that for groupies. You never know.
What about one of my best friends in Japan? They call him my stalker. Oh.
This goes back to 93. I was bowling, and every time i turned around this man is standing there smiling smiling at me like oh god you know what i do now and it was like after every game he would move pairs with me and just watch me bowl and after the round was over i was sitting at the bar having a beer and i turned around and there he was so i called him over i said you want a beer he said yes and we've been friends ever since no way in fact the storm high sports over in in uh japan uh hires him when i go over there They hire him to pick me up at the airport, take me to the hotel.

He stays with me and at the hotel drives me to my appearances the next day he has you know so all everybody over there knows who he is all my bowling friends knows who he is so he's very welcomed with everybody it's great you know to you know to think you have a stalker behind you and then now he's one of your best friends when you go to japan yeah stalking pays off yeah right yeah dream kids so where are you at now with bowling so you're you're officially retired from the pba right no i'm officially retired from the regular tour okay i still am a PVA member. I still bowl full-time on the PVA senior tour.

I do bowl some of the, like, if I would have got invited to the U.S. Open,

like I should have been.

Oh, I like this.

I would have bowled the U.S. Open.

Why didn't they invite you?

I have no idea.

We got it.

I mean, I'm going to make a stink out of this for you.

Who's in charge of passing out the invites?

That I don't know either.

We'll get to the bottom of this.

the you i have no idea we got it i mean i'm gonna make a stink out of this for you who's uh who's in charge of passing out the invites that i don't know either is it the pba no the pba has nothing to do with it is this is totally the united states bowling congress so do you think there's someone who's like pete weber's oh i know there is i know there's a couple oh they're like they just don't like me he's too much of a bad boy i don't like them either and i don't really care if they know or not. I love this.
I don't like them either. I like the fire.
I hate them. Listen, I hate their guts.
Well, you know, a five-time Open champion, 43 years of PBA member, PBA, USBC Hall of Famer, Family grew up in Indianapolis. Three major titles, including a U.S.
Open at Woodland Bowl. And I don't get an invite? It's discapable.
I think that's just an insult. It is.
It's like when Major League Eating banned Kobayashi from competing in the hot dog contest. You're synonymous with bowling in America, and you don't get invited.
That's bullshit. They've made some powerful enemies.
The other thing that gets me, too, is that it's an 80-lane bowling center, and they only have 108 bowlers bowling in the tournament. They got room.
36 people per squad. That's a slap in your face.
Well, and then, you know, not to say anything mookie betts okay i i have bowled with and i respect and i i have the greatest utmost respect for him but he gets put into the tournament without having to qualify for it junior bowlers from junior team usa are automatically seeded in the tournament. Don't have to bowl the ptq that's a bigger slap in my face yeah yeah i mean i understand from their perspective why maybe mookie betts he he's going to draw some eyes but so is pete weber but that's the thing it's like pete weber is bowling pete weber if you want people to pay attention to your tournament you will invite him so whether they don't like me or not, I still draw people in.
You do. And I still draw people for pro lambs.
Have you competed in that tournament in the past? Yeah. This is the first year that I haven't.
We got to get to the bottom of this. This is now my new crusade.
I'm on the warpath. I'm happy that this happened today because now I have something to wake up in the morning.
I asked about it. They said, based on my criteria.
What the fuck does that mean? Criteria being a champion? I don't know what that means, but I would have to bowl the PTQ or ask for an exemption. So that, to me, is a double insult.
That I have to ask for an exemption into a tournament that I've won five times? I'm grudging hard for you. I know the commissioner is grudging hard, too.
Against you? No, for me. Oh, for you.
Okay, so he's on our side, so we've got to find the other people. All right, we're on this.
United States Bowling Congress. We're going to fight for you.
This is like saying Tiger Woods can't play in the Masters. What are we doing here? They invite him.
It's his choice not to bowl. Or not to play golf.
Because of injuries or what have you. It's his choice.
But at least he's given the option. Former champions always get the invite.
That should be how it always is. That's what I feel too.
So are you bowling, regular leagues as well? Because that would be fun. Yeah, I do.
I bowl on Monday nights with my best friends and his two kids that I've known since they were four and six years old. And do you dominate? Oh, yeah.
I love it. I love it.
That's great. They all know how to bowl.
Yeah. And they all, you know, 190 to 210 average.

So, you know, they're respectable.

But come on.

But we have fun, you know.

I thought when I first started bowling the league that the guys,

the other guys in the league would have a problem.

But I wound up knowing a lot of them.

So nobody really had a problem. And it's actually a really fun league to bowl in.

That's awesome.

You know, when it comes down to the 10th frame and i need to strike yeah i try yeah but the frames before i i just put my hand in the ball and go yeah you know i i'm just there to have fun right yeah and then i bowl a little more competitive league on wednesday nights uh to where it pays a better. You're paying more for your league, but it pays better, and it's just more competitive.
So I kind of – You dominate that too? No. Oh, interesting.
Oh, no. Really? There's some good bowlers that are going up against.
Well, house bowlers. It's a house that I really didn't grow up bowling in.
I only bowled a few times, and I really haven't had very much success there either. Interesting.
My first two nights of the Wednesday night league, I had like 595 and 598 for my three games of the league. Yeah.
And then I started bringing some other stuff in. I was actually getting 25 pins of handicap.
Oh, okay. So that was kind of neat.
Yeah. But now I'm down to like two, I think.
I've got my average back up to where I'm down to like getting only two pins per game, and I'm trying to get that down to zero. Yeah.
There we go. Yeah.
Have you ever shown up to a bowling alley and just absolutely hustled somebody that doesn't know who you are no no one's ever does that happen at bowling alleys like it happens sometimes i don't know at a golf course or driving range to see who can hit the ball the furthest has anybody ever like just asked you hey you want to put some money on this next game well you know i've had people ask me to bowl for ten thousand dollars a game but it's to me that's like i've got nothing to prove yeah and if they beat me then they're a legend killer true so it's kind of a no-win situation for me yeah um guys used to come in to my dad's bowling center at home when I was like 13, 14. And they'd say, hey, anybody bowl action? Dad would always, well, what do you want to bowl for? Well, we're not bowling you.
He said, no, you ain't going to bowl me. How much do you want to bowl for? And they'd say, 25? And he says, all right, see that kid down there, which was me.
See that kid down there, he'll bowl you. And if he wins, you have to pay me and buy him a soda.
Oh, hell yes. Well, they always wound up paying Dad.
They always wound up buying me sodas. That's awesome.
Oh, man. All right, so I have one last question.
This has been just so much fun. It's a rowback question.
Rowback dot com. Promo code take.
I'm wearing the joggers right now. R.H.O.

Hell yes. Hell yes.
Rowback dot com it out. Promo code TAKE.
All right, my last question. I just want you to say it again.
I want you to say the quote again. That's really not a question.
It's just so iconic. You want the quote again? Yeah, yeah.
Who do you think you are? I am. Yes.
And don't forget it. Yes.
I mean, it's just the best. Every time I watch that clip, I get a smile on my face.
I do these things. I don't know if you heard of them.
They're called cameos. Yes.
Cameos. Well, I do them.
And just about every one I do is, can you do your quote, please? Yes. It's like, and I have no problem doing it.
And I love your other quote. I think you said maybe a few years ago, you're like, love me or hate me.
You still watched. Love me or hate me.
You're going to watch just to see what I do. That's the best.
That's the true mark of a bad boy when it's like, you might despise me, but you ain't turning the channel. Yeah.
How many people do you know that are going to change the channel just because they don't like somebody, but they want to see what they're going to do? Yeah. Plenty.
Yes. Like back in tennis, John McEnroe.
I hated watching tennis. Yeah.
But when he was on, I watched because I'd like to see what he was going to do. Yeah.
Has he ever reached out to you or have you ever met him? No. I imagine you guys would have a lot to talk about.
Because he is the Pete Weber of tennis. Oh, well, yeah.
No, I've never met him. I played golf on a celebrity golf tour for a little while and I got to meet some pretty neat people.
Dwight Clark. Nice.
You know, Alfonso Ribeiro. Ooh, yeah.
Johnny Bench. I've met some pretty neat people.
But Sunday had to be the best after Kansas City won the game. First thing Patrick Mahomes did was put a picture of me up in my quote in his tweet.
Yes. That was incredible.
So that was one of the biggest honors I've ever had. That is.
It was for him to do that. It was a bad job by us.
We should have brought it up right away. That was reached out to him to see if maybe we can meet or something.
Maybe both sometime? Hell yeah. Maybe both sometime.
Are you a Chiefs fan? It's Missouri. Come on.
I'm from St. Louis.
I used to be a Rams fan until they left. And then as soon as they left, I became a Kansas City fan.
Pretty good run you guys have had right now. I'd say you upgraded a little bit.
You went from rooting for Chris Long to rooting for Patrick Mahomes. Yeah.
That's an upgrade. Huge.
Big upgrade. Yeah.
Huge. Huge upgrade.
Huge. Alright, well, Pete, this has been so much fun.
And now we're going to go watch some bowling and hopefully you're going to bowl a little? Very well. Could be.
Okay. Okay.
Alright. Maybe throw a shot or two for you guys.
That would be awesome. And by the way, what's this hot dog eating thing? Oh, you want a hot dog? Yeah.
We have a lot of hot dogs. I could probably use it.
Yeah. You get 10 pins added onto your score.
No, you get it subtracted from your score if you eat every hot dog.

Well, it's kind of the same. So you go from 300, eat a hot dog, to 290.

Now you only have to do 290.

So the one guy I heard is eating like 14 hot dogs, so he's down to 160.

160, and he still can't get out of here.

Uh-oh.

Yeah.

So we need your help.

We need your help.

We need your magic.

Yes.

That's not good.

But thank you so much, Pete.

You are a legend, and we appreciate it. Thank you, guys.
It's been a pleasure for me, too. Excellent.

He's good. He waved it off.
Just pee, just pee. Just pee.
Number one. We're about to start about bowling he might not actually be okay all right so what should we say about jake while he's out uh so the bowling the bowling challenge we did it today shout out everyone who watched it was incredible we had like 28 000 people watching all at once concurrently a lot of people said it was a great way to pass the time during the day.
We're in the alley for eight hours. I actually thought it was pretty fun and interesting.
There was a moment last night before we started where I was like, ooh, is this going to be good? I thought it was pretty funny. It was very funny.
Yeah. I thought it was great the uh the bonus dogs the lightning rounds oh billy was too so so if you haven't watched it you can go back and watch it um but there will also be a pm tv recapping everything awesome thursday night uh we did a we did some fun wrinkles we had a bonus round where max and jake uh ate hot dogs without using their hands, no buns.
Billy said that he wasn't going to do it because he's too straight. I didn't want a Mickey Mouse win.
I didn't want a Mickey Mouse win. Oh, okay.
Let's talk about that. You brought that up, Billy.
Let's talk about that. I didn't want a Mickey Mouse win.
So you won all on your own today? With the stipulations put ahead of us. Oh, okay.
You literally had a Mickey Mouse win. Yeah.
You used Pete Webber. Which was a stipulation that was brought up.
And Max is a man. And Max, that was an all-time alpha move to be like, no, Pete Webber.
How many hot dogs did you end up eating, Max? I had 17 hot dogs. How did you have 17 hot dogs? Because I lost to Jake.
And he's a man. Yeah, we did a head-to-head during the middle of it where Jake and Max went head-to-head to see who, if the loser had to get minus 10 or plus 10 pins on their score and the loser got minus 10 or the winner got minus 10.
It was great. And now hang on a second here, Big Cat.
Billy, what was your winning score that you rolled? The one that I won? Yeah. A 136.
And how many hot dogs did you eat? I ate 17 hot dogs, but one of them was to negate the loss to Stu Feiner, and then I ate one thinking it would be given to Jake after the fact. But you ate 17 hot dogs.
Yes. Jake, how many did you have? I had 19 on my own.
Oh, my God. But I will say five were without the bun thanks to the lightning round.
That's fine, but correct me if I'm wrong here. Billy had the lowest bowling total and the lowest amount of hot dogs eaten today.
I ate three for him, remember? Remember we had three in the beginning? Yeah, yeah. I ate three for him.
But even still. You know, 19 is on my own.
Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying.
Yeah. So Jake ate more hot dogs than you and bowled and hit more pins down than you did.
And didn't use Pete Weber. Is that true? I'm just questioning.
I don't know. I look.
I haven't clicked the numbers yet. I was figuring out how am I going to get out of this as the last person to get added to this on a coin toss.
Didn't do any preparation. I won the system.
I beat the system. I don't care.
Okay. I did my time.
Got in, got out. Billy beat the system.
That's a win. It was very fun to watch.
Max, I want to hear your thoughts, then we'll get to Jake, who kind of won it all because he was the big loser and he was the last man standing. Max, how are you feeling? I'm in a world of pain right now.
Max hasn't gone to the bathroom. It's crazy.
I'm worried about that't i haven't taken a shit yet i don't know i i have like it is starting to hit me during this recording i have like started to fart i don't know because they've been very bad like i was doing all right at the end of it um i even all i even was about to eat an additional hot dog for jake but right now like i it's it's it's all starting to hit and how did you eat again 17 and you were eating a lot with with condiments like onions well sometimes the okay well the sauerkraut was essential well the smell. Well, the smell.
We were doing dirty water dogs. And, like, if you know, like, they can get the smell of the dirty water dog can get to you after a while.
Like, and you just taste every bite that you take. You just start to taste that water.
And I needed to mask that. I needed to, like, I needed some sort of muscle.
I needed the mustard to kind of, I needed to taste something else other than the dirty water. Cause it was making me really sick.
I get that. Now, how are you feeling like from your arm from the bowling? Because I think of anybody here that bowled today, you were going, you were bowling like as hard as you possibly could on every bowl.
You've got one speed. And you were, you were Describe the sound you make after you let go of the ball.
Oh, Max's facial expression. He was crying at one point, like, literally crying.
The facial expressions, the grunts. He let go and he goes.
Yeah, yeah, there's a great moment. Was that your thumb popping out of the bowl? No, he was making the sound making the sound i this is this is the first i'm hearing of this sound i don't know that yeah oh i made sure to get take the camera and get videos what is this what is going on would you like to say anything about the tears the tears weren't they weren't real tears that that's no no there was just also 30 water tears i i've just been going through stages of like being really bad with the hot dogs and not and like being and not having any issues at all because we did the first thing we i did was just eat five hot dogs as fast as i could i don't think that was a good idea because it was 10 o'clock in the morning and five hot dogs as as soon as you wake up or not as soon as you wake up but five hot dogs before 11 a.m is probably probably not great for your stomach.
So when we were doing the lightning round, I thought for sure I was going to puke. The lightning round was so fucking funny.
You guys just not using your hands, trying to slurp up raw dogs. God damn.
It saved me. Yeah.
It was a great lightning round. I've got the sound effect here from Max.
I don't know if this is your thumb or your mouth or what it is. God! God! Stuck in the thumb! Well, that one...
God! That one actually was from my thumb. That was your thumb popping up? Yeah, that was my – because you can hear it because that – I think that was like in an – Actually, no.
That was a crucial throw. Everyone felt – every throw felt integral in whatever.
Yeah. And that one, it did get stuck in my thumb, and it was a straight gutter.
And I don't know. It hurt.
Yeah. And now, Jake, you ended up with a 188 was your high score to get yourself out of it um you you bowled the longest how are you feeling you you also had there was multiple times where you lamar jackson did where you just you you were like mid-bowl you're like gotta go and just grab the wipes and ran to the bathroom also can you explain to the people what you came prepared with to the bowling alley? Yeah.
My whole list. I tweeted it out.
Well, Jake's also doing this podcast with a heating pad. Oh, there's ice.
Yeah, he looks like a pitcher who's ready to go back in for a couple more innings. He's mid-inning.
You look like Ben Roethlisberger on the practice field right now. Bowling.
Personal bowling ball. Shout out to Bolero for providing each of those.
Yeah, shout out to Bolero for the whole thing. They're a great host.
This is awesome. I'll definitely be going back there and using called Barstool Bowl.
The other food there besides the hot dogs were good, but the other food was fantastic. Yeah, their food and beverage director is awesome.
Yeah, Barstool Bowl through February, 15% off your reservation. Love it.
Yeah. Bowling Ball.
The wrist guard was great because my wrist does not hurt at all. There you go.
So I'll take that. The rosin bag helped too.
Yep. It's supposed to stick inside the holes.
Nice. Yeah, it never slipped out.
Okay, nice. The bowling towel I didn't really use.
Never slipped out? Never once slipped out. Welcome, Jake.
Not even like towards the end. Get him on the box the box list no he stuck it inside the hole and it never slipped never so yeah not even when you were like changing up your position on the land never slipped out water i drank i drank did it ever probably come close to slipping out and you're like oh did i just break it no but you put it back in yeah like immediately i probably drank like nine or.
Okay. Nice.
Yeah. Ice pack, heating pad, part of my cheesesteak jumpsuit.
Change of clothes that I did not need. Again, what were those for? In case I...
An accident? Yeah. He was thinking he was going to shit himself.
So you and my son are the exact same people. If if I sweat too much.
Okay, got it. Yeah.
Biofreeze chopped a lot. Got it on both shoulders.
Yeah, why were you putting the biofreeze on your non-bowling shoulder? I didn't understand that one. Because this is where my torn labrum is.
So it still hurts sometimes when I do physical activity. Okay.
Got it. Okay.
And then wipes. Wipes were handy.
And Listerine. Yesisterine yes mouthwash up a lot max used that too because it changes your palate you feel like a fresh start yeah it tastes like hot dog the mouthwash was great the mat because what i was saying about the i couldn't get that dirty water taste out of my mouth and the mouthwash you guys just have a minty taste and it was a good mental reset um But yeah, crazy.
What did you bring the wipes for? Bathroom. Oh, okay.
They had toilet paper there. Yeah.
The whole thing was fantastic. I was proud of you, Jake.
Proud of you, Max, Billy, Mickey Mouse, but whatever. That's fine.
No, I'm honestly not ashamed of what I did. A hundred percent.
Mickey Mouse's fuck Yeah, yeah And you didn't You're too straight to eat hot dogs without a bun You beat the system You guys wanted to watch other grown men do that Yeah, it was fucking hilarious And the comments loved it People were just like, hey, yo Hey, pause What? You drinking with a straw over there? That's sus. I also, like, at one point, I came and came back, like, after 30 minutes.
You put your fingers into balls over there? What? You're like, that ice cream cone? We have all the Coors Light. If you drink Coors Light, it's a pin off.
And he was like, no, I'm only doing it if it's five pins or ten pins per beer. And then I came back 30 minutes later, and he was just drinking a beer.
He was like He was like, all right, I'll do some beers. Yeah, no, I think that was a good call.
Loosen you up a little bit. It actually did.
I was getting frustrated. I was like, you know what? I'm just going to chill out with a nice ice cold Coors Light.
Yeah, it worked. There's a moment where we saw Billy getting into a state that we've seen plenty of times when he gets himself into a mess, but then the mess becomes our fault for him being there,

and then he starts to turn on us,

and he just starts to get annoyed at everything.

We saw it coming, and the ice-cold Coors Light chilled you out.

Yeah, there's also some happy, like, get into your hole,

like when the pins just weren't going down.

Yeah.

Oh, no, Billy.

That's supposed to go down.

I love Billy.

Like, the way he bowls, he just rolls it as hard as he can every time. He's like, why aren't they going down? Angry.
Yeah, I understand some people were mad that we were punting games, but it was the right strategy. Yeah, I mean, you had to bowl for eight hours.
Jake, before we did this, you were breaking it down logically, and you were thinking to yourself, this might not even be possible to do in one day. Right.
No, if it wasn't a one-day thing, I was going to punt the whole first day. Oh, my God.
That would have been bad. I would have hated that.
I would have been very upset at you. Yeah.
Very upset. Because originally, right, we had the idea of doing this for as long as possible.
But eight hours felt like the perfect time, and now we were – And I didn't think Jake was going to finish. It was probably like 4.30.
I was like, oh, man. And being in your...
If I was in your shoes, it just felt like you were close a couple times, and I was like, this could be a situation where it feels like we're close, but we're going to be here until 8. Yeah, it all worked out.
But that 188 was a fantastic game. I was.
Bowling a turkey, the feeling of that is the equivalent of hitting a 50-foot putt. Yeah, no, you finished with four straight strikes.
It was electric, and yeah, the hot dogs worked out perfectly. Next year, I think we're going to do, you got to hit a hole-in-one.
Jesus Christ. I don't know about that.
That would be so funny. Yeah.
If we just had a fucking course and a nice little- I actually don't think that would take that long either. Oh, it would take forever.
Some of us don't even golf. Yeah.
It would take. I'm like 180 yard hole.
It would take so long. Can you keep every ball? Not 180 yards.
It would be like a pitching putt. Yeah, it would probably be like 100.
Can you keep balls on the green where another ball can knock it in? I vote yes. I think yes.
We have a year to figure this out. But that was thrown around.
I think that would be fun. I like that.
He's going to buy me $400 worth of Arizona-themed swag from a bet we made, a one-on-one match we had. We did, yeah.
I mean, I do have a ruptured UCL, much like Brock Purdy. So congratulations.
You beat me, I guess. You're a handicapped guy.
Good job. The other idea of flying to this next Super Bowl eastward with at least three connecting flights, that sounds pretty sick.
What about having to take nothing but Uber pools or, like, shared lifts for a month? Or just to the Super Bowl. Oh, Uber pooling to the Super Bowl bowl that's that's a big honor system pft no no because you can check your history yeah people could lift people cab you can check the history though you have to match it all up yeah all your all your jake are you saying that you would cheat never i'm saying it seems like an easy loophole if you wanted to i I mean, I'm not a cheater.
I would not do it. Isn't there like a wheels up pool thing where you can share a private flight with other people? Sounds like broke boy behavior to me.
Next year is in Vegas. Yeah.
The theme something there. Yeah.
All right. So, yeah.
Job well done, boys. It was a lot of fun.
I had a lot of fun. Hopefully not too sore.
I don't care. I know.
Yeah. I mean, I guess I hope you're not.
No, I don't really care. Yeah, I don't really care.
If you're sore. I'm really going through it.
He just started burping. If you're sore, that's like, okay, cool.
Yeah. I hope you're a little bit sore.
I think Wednesday, Thursday will be, I think by Friday I should be 100%. Let's just put it this way.
If you are sore, don't need to tell us. I won't.
Okay. Just basically, don't go bowling for the next like three days and you'll be fine.
Yeah. Trust tree, the toppings on those Nathan's hot dogs, I'd literally go back and get some more.
Right now? Yeah. I'm like, I'm finally like, I finished earlier all my hot dogs.
I'm like hungry again. And yeah, I would 100% go eat one of those chili dogs with the sauerkraut again.
And the red onion, it was so good. Yeah, the food there was fantastic.
And watching Pete Weber bowl in person was just as majestic as you would think. And he stepped up first one strike.
Just felt awesome. Super smooth.
Okay. Numbers.
Did I say we're doing two? I think we're doing two. Yep.
I'm going to do 69. I'll do 17.
I'm going to do 51. He's explaining the rules.
18. You can pick another.
No, we're going to do two drawings.

We're all doing. Okay, so

when do we start for the first drawing?

We already did.

I'd like both my numbers to be 69.

No, you can't do that. You know what?

PFT.

It's your birthday? Yeah, I think so.

Yeah, it's my birthday. 96.

A birthday treat for the birthday boy.

Yeah, I think so. I'll take 96.
51, I asked Stu. Stu.
Stu is, this is my number via Stu. 51.
Have you ever gotten this? I have not ever gotten this. Has Stu? I don't think so.
20 for Max. Come on, Stu.
This is going to be easy. Oh, by the way, I have another.
I have more money to put in the pot. Same.
I have another thousand.

Seventy.

Oh, fuck.

Went off.

Okay, putting 70 back in.

We'll do one more number.

I also will do 17 again.

That's the sixth time.

Max is... This is 18 again for me.

Oh, I didn't pay up for this week yet.

Yeah, I got to pay for this week.

I have not paid up. This is my second.
This is it. Oh, okay.
My final seed. I'm splashing it again.
You have to match it, you know. What? If someone wins, you match it.
What? Yeah. That was the rule.
All right. You're put the seed money back in your wallet.

What seed money?

All right, 17.

You got 69 PFT?

I did get 69, yeah.

31.

I'll do 17. Oh, no, 17.

I'll do 17.

I think Max had it first.

I don't think so.

Yeah, I think he had it first.

I had 17 hot dogs. That's the only reason I'm picking.
So Max had it first. I don't think so.
I think he had it first. I had 17 hot dogs.

That's the only reason I'm picking.

So Max had it first.

All right, I'll see money then.

Okay.

No, I'm just kidding.

Tied for second place
