Speaker 5 We're going to recap it.

Speaker 24 We have Pete Weber.

Speaker 25 Who do you think you are? Or I am?

Speaker 5 That guy maybe the best bowler of all time on the show great interview with him we're gonna talk about the entire day in a bowling alley like I said Super Bowl storyline Sean Payton of the Broncos hot seat cool throne

Speaker 33 Very fun interview.

Speaker 34 I'm very excited for people to listen to.

Speaker 2 What's up, guys?

Speaker 36 It's Big Cat here making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey.

Speaker 35 How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

Speaker 37 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 34 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt, aged four years in bourbon barrels.

Speaker 27 Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 37 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 37 So get out there and make your Irish entrance.

Speaker 38 Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 4 Okay, let's go.

Speaker 4 Now in the street, there is violence.

Speaker 4 And then I love the solve work to be done.

Speaker 4 No place to hang out or washing.

Speaker 4 And then I can't blame all of your sons. Oh no, we're gonna rock down to

Speaker 43 Welcome to part of my take.

Speaker 29 Today is Wednesday, February 1st.

Speaker 32 And Sean Payton is head coach of the Denver Broncos.

Speaker 2 Let's go, Sean.

Speaker 23 Good job, Sean.

Speaker 2 Good job, Sean. You got a job.
And

Speaker 2 Lil Birdie told me Vic Fangio might be joining him. So Fangio was all but confirmed to go to the Dolphins on, what, Sunday?

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Psych record scratch. He might go to Denver.
He used to be the head coach in Denver.

Speaker 48 That's true.

Speaker 2 But it's a new ownership group.

Speaker 16 So he might be willing to go back.

Speaker 2 And then he might also be talking to San Francisco because they lost their defense scored in Damico Ryans, who's now head coach of the Houston, Texas.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 49 So we had a little source off

Speaker 27 breaking news on Tuesday.

Speaker 20 It was announced that Sean Payton was going to the Broncos, and then almost instantly after, D'Amico Ryans was going to the Texans.

Speaker 17 And Schefter said it was a coincidence.

Speaker 34 Rappaport said that the Broncos were trying very hard to get D'Amico Ryans when they couldn't.

Speaker 43 They went to Plan B, Sean Payton, which seems a little weird, but I also don't think there was a coincidence there.

Speaker 32 The timing of both announcements

Speaker 55 felt more than coincidental.

Speaker 27 So

Speaker 57 I think I'm going to side with Rappaport on that there was more to it than just a complete coincidence that they were announced within minutes of each other.

Speaker 2 Well, Rappaport is the Walmart shifter, so it would make sense that he would have a closer tie in with the Broncos ownership group.

Speaker 59 Yes.

Speaker 2 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.
Obviously, he played there. This is crazy.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 He said that their playing field caused a knee injury for him.

Speaker 40 We are Team Grass.

Speaker 2 We are team grass, but they do they do have grass, I think.

Speaker 23 Don't they? No, they're indoors.

Speaker 2 The Texans? Yeah. NRG Stadium? No, it's got an open roof on it.

Speaker 16 What? Yeah.

Speaker 60 Really? Yeah.

Speaker 61 I think it's a retractable roof. Yeah.

Speaker 22 Is it? And it's you.

Speaker 62 That was the one Gaga came down from.

Speaker 14 That's right. It's huge.
But I don't think it's really open. I don't think it's grass, is it?

Speaker 23 I'm pretty sure they roll it.

Speaker 22 I think it is grass.

Speaker 64 They roll in. Really?

Speaker 46 No, they don't roll it in there.

Speaker 22 No, that's Arizona.

Speaker 2 It's grass, but it's shit grass. Because that's where, I think that's where Jules.

Speaker 22 I think he's so bad at grass.

Speaker 66 I think that's where

Speaker 2 Jules tore his ACL, non-contact. Either him or Wes Welker, one of the two.
Damn. One of those guys had an.

Speaker 20 Oh, no, it's not anymore. It used to be.

Speaker 4 Texans ditching grass for artificial turf.

Speaker 33 This was in 2015.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 33 Artificial surface.

Speaker 17 Okay, well, I learned something. You learned something.

Speaker 22 Yeah, so we both learned something.

Speaker 2 So D'Amico Ryan's... So it might have been grass when he was playing.
It might have been.

Speaker 2 D'Amico Ryan sued the Texans.

Speaker 2 He ended up settling with the group that installs the playing surface, not involving the team in the final outcome.

Speaker 2 Probably pretty glad that he didn't go through that lawsuit against the team themselves because now he's their head coach.

Speaker 63 Yeah, seriously. Yeah.

Speaker 66 And it feels like...

Speaker 5 The Texans finally got a head coach they want to keep around for more than a year?

Speaker 2 I don't think that they hired D'Amico Ryans to fire him. Yeah.
It doesn't seem that way. I think we both called it for the last two years.

Speaker 2 It felt like they were hiring Lovy 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.

Speaker 2 And then before that, there was the David Culley experience. Yes.
God bless David Cully.

Speaker 27 And for Sean Payton, so

Speaker 20 people have been saying, why would he do this?

Speaker 67 He left.

Speaker 58 He could have gone to any team.

Speaker 20 Well, the Walton family has the most money.

Speaker 23 like ever.

Speaker 27 So they probably cut him an enormous check.

Speaker 28 They also didn't have to give up as much as I thought.

Speaker 17 Like, it's the 29th pick this year.

Speaker 34 So the pick that the Broncos got in return for Bradley Chubb, which was, I think, the 49ers pick.

Speaker 66 So they got that.

Speaker 66 They have to give up that. They have to give up their second rounder next year.

Speaker 17 They get a third rounder back from the Saints, and they get Sean Payton.

Speaker 45 And if you're the Broncos, like that.

Speaker 5 Sean Payton's worth more than the 29th pick when it's been so bad.

Speaker 49 And you've invested in Russell Wilson.

Speaker 40 You've got to figure out a way to fix him.

Speaker 5 That's the biggest piece. Like,

Speaker 25 who better to fix a short quarterback whose arm might be like losing a little bit of the steam?

Speaker 71 Oh, how about the guy who coached a short quarterback whose arm wasn't the strongest?

Speaker 54 He's the perfect guy.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Plus, we get a sequel to the Kevin James movie where he goes to Denver and starts his own grow-ops.
That'll be nice. I think that he's a good fit out there.
I think that he's...

Speaker 48 But it's money. It's money.

Speaker 2 It's money.

Speaker 44 Because the other argument would be, why would you want to go into Patrick Mahomes' division?

Speaker 34 I get that as well.

Speaker 48 It's money. It's money.

Speaker 20 He's probably getting paid like $25 million a year.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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, that division until proven otherwise.

Speaker 2 Although, Skip Bayless, that motherfucker.

Speaker 2 He predicted the Sea Words to win the Super Bowl already.

Speaker 59 Oh, wow.

Speaker 2 And now he's got me thinking.

Speaker 26 It's a little early to do Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 70 He's going to get paid a lot of money.

Speaker 2 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

Speaker 2 a very easy answer that's right in front of my face. Besides Andy Reid, okay, we're taking Andy Reid off the board here.

Speaker 2 Has there been a coach that walked away and then came back for a big payday somewhere else? And he's been better at his second location than he was at.

Speaker 19 Bill Cower's still out there.

Speaker 2 Bill Cower's still remaining.

Speaker 1 Remember how Bill Cower is just in the

Speaker 73 first place for 10 years.

Speaker 74 Hmm. Hmm.

Speaker 49 Walked away from the NFL, like, or coaching in general.

Speaker 27 Walked away from coaching.

Speaker 23 Because he really didn't walk away for that long.

Speaker 2 Walked away from coaching in the NFL and did something similar. I mean, Belichick left the Jets after his family.

Speaker 6 I was going to say Pete Carroll left the NFL and then came back and was very successful.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 4 I'm trying to think who left.

Speaker 12 Parcells, but he wasn't that successful.

Speaker 3 I mean, Mike McCarthy, we'll see how that goes.

Speaker 24 He did walk in.

Speaker 59 He did get fired. He got fired.

Speaker 22 He rolled away.

Speaker 69 Yeah, rolled away and then came back.

Speaker 75 That's a good question. I don't know.

Speaker 16 I'd have to, off the top of my head.

Speaker 2 Because maybe I'm just not thinking of it. And Andy Reid is obviously the exception to this rule.

Speaker 40 And Andy Reid didn't even walk away. Didn't he get a job right away?

Speaker 57 Yeah, he got a job right away.

Speaker 2 He got fired. I don't know how long he was in between jobs for.
It wasn't long.

Speaker 59 I want to say it was right away.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 Like, Sean Payton is maybe the complete opposite of Nathaniel Hackett.

Speaker 76 I would say that's probably true.

Speaker 2 So I think that it's a good hire for Denver.

Speaker 2 But I don't see him. like winning Super Bowls in Denver.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 2 At least not with Russell Wilson. Yeah.

Speaker 20 So yeah, Andy Reid was,

Speaker 5 he was out of a job for five days.

Speaker 46 Okay, so

Speaker 2 Andy Reid stepped away from football for five days for five days.

Speaker 27 He left the Eagles on December 31st, 2012, and he was hired by the Chiefs on January 4th, 2013.

Speaker 2 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?

Speaker 40 We're definitely forgetting someone.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 32 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.

Speaker 2 We're just having the conversation. I'm merely asking questions.

Speaker 5 Yeah, this is going to be one of those moments where everyone's like, how did you guys forget about this guy?

Speaker 2 Or I'm going to forget that like Bill Walsh coached, I don't know, like the Vikings for a month back in 1960.

Speaker 5 Do you know who the answer might be?

Speaker 20 Let's see how long.

Speaker 55 I can't remember how long he was away.

Speaker 77 I'm going to pull it up.

Speaker 31 The answer could be.

Speaker 5 Nope, Mike Holmgren also went just straight from the Packers to the Seahawks.

Speaker 78 I couldn't remember if there was a year in between.

Speaker 2 That's a good choice, though. Because

Speaker 69 that would be the guy.

Speaker 69 So, yeah, I think the Broncos had to do this move, and it's money.

Speaker 48 I would love to know how much he's getting paid.

Speaker 39 Maybe we can ask them.

Speaker 2 They should definitely publicize how much coaches make.

Speaker 5 We need to be like Sean Payton, yes or no question, just be like, I would like to just know how many zeros.

Speaker 32 No, because it's definitely more than 10 million.

Speaker 56 Do you think it's more?

Speaker 46 I think it's probably right around 10 million.

Speaker 16 Oh, it's definitely more than 10 million.

Speaker 2 How much does Belichick make?

Speaker 69 We don't know.

Speaker 57 That's the best part about NFL coaches. We don't know how much they make.

Speaker 41 Belichick probably makes like

Speaker 32 $15, $20 million a year.

Speaker 2 We knew how much Gruden made because his contract was public for $10.

Speaker 28 That was $10 million.

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 31 So he's definitely getting paid more than Gruden, I think, because it's a rich owner who's desperate to have a competent organization again and Sean Payton who could go out and do the bidding anywhere he wanted.

Speaker 69 That's true.

Speaker 5 So it's got to be a pretty, pretty big dollar.

Speaker 2 I'm seeing, and now this is on Spotrack.

Speaker 2 It says that when he was with the Saints, his salary was five years, $42.5 million, so $8.5 million per year.

Speaker 43 Yeah, so he's definitely getting

Speaker 18 at least 15

Speaker 71 plus. Yeah, I would say at least 15.

Speaker 66 Okay.

Speaker 49 Let's talk some Super Bowl storylines.

Speaker 27 We said we'd do it on Wednesday, and it's Wednesday.

Speaker 6 It actually is Tuesday right now. Happy birthday, PFT.
Still your birthday.

Speaker 2 Thanks, Piquette. Happy birthday on Monday.

Speaker 69 Birthday week, yeah.

Speaker 27 How do we want to start Super Bowl storylines?

Speaker 21 Should we just go from the obvious and then whittle it down?

Speaker 1 I also asked Hank to make a haters list to watching the Super Bowl

Speaker 27 because he hates this.

Speaker 61 Speaking of obviously,

Speaker 2 this is wild. Travis Kelsey's 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?

Speaker 17 So I didn't until you just said it that way.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's kind of wild when you put it that way.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I, okay, so I have a take, and I know that this one's going to get beaten to death, the Kelsey Brothers.

Speaker 80 It's going to be talked about non-stop.

Speaker 81 It's probably outside of Andy Reed and the Eagles, it's probably the number one Super Bowl storyline.

Speaker 54 I actually think it is very crazy.

Speaker 5 Like

Speaker 27 that they are the first two brothers to face off in a Super Bowl and they're both really fucking good.

Speaker 82 It's one of those ones where people are going to make jokes about how everyone's overstating it.

Speaker 24 I actually think it's wild.

Speaker 71 It's very cool.

Speaker 2 And you have to do it.

Speaker 16 I think it's wild.

Speaker 2 And 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.

Speaker 23 And you've got to.

Speaker 16 And they both have one, too. That's the one.

Speaker 22 Yeah, they both have one.

Speaker 27 It's for Bragging Rights.

Speaker 2 And they're both really, really good at their position. They're like amongst the all-time greats at their position.

Speaker 69 They're both number one at their position right now in the NFL, probably.

Speaker 18 And they're both sure.

Speaker 60 They're definitely both one.

Speaker 17 What would you say in terms of most important players on their team?

Speaker 17 What's Jason?

Speaker 56 He's probably like the third most important player on the team.

Speaker 16 Travis is probably their third.

Speaker 26 Travis is probably two.

Speaker 22 No, he's probably Chris Jones, too.

Speaker 17 And then Travis.

Speaker 57 So they're both like, that's the crazy part. It's not that they're just playing against each other.

Speaker 25 They're both fucking awesome.

Speaker 23 And yeah, the mom, they're both probably going to the Hall of Fame. Yeah.

Speaker 5 And, yeah, the mom, I think the mom's going to probably go with...

Speaker 2 I think

Speaker 2 she's a Jason guy. Yeah.
Yeah. Dad go with Travis.
Yeah.

Speaker 23 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 2 Travis is a dad. You know that dad picked the name Travis.
Yeah. Mom picked Jason.
Yes, yes.

Speaker 61 She got the split jersey ready, too.

Speaker 39 Yeah, she does.

Speaker 4 And it actually, the way she split the jersey, the inside is Travis, I feel like that might go against what we just said.

Speaker 22 There's more red than green in there.

Speaker 23 Yeah, Yeah, there's way more red.

Speaker 5 She has the shoulders on the it's like if you see her, you're gonna see a lot more red.

Speaker 69 So maybe we had it reversed.

Speaker 4 Maybe it's actually I don't know what the back is.

Speaker 71 The back is probably Jason.

Speaker 61 The back? Yeah, the back looks perfect.

Speaker 1 Okay, so that's first story, storyline.

Speaker 2 Billy, what's this look? What do you got? I have something to say.

Speaker 22 Billy's got something hilarious.

Speaker 2 Tell me. Tell me what you're

Speaker 2 saying.

Speaker 83 Well, also for the first time, the two quarterbacks are also brothers.

Speaker 23 Oh, okay.

Speaker 16 That's good. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 44 All right.

Speaker 72 I did have that on there, but man, that was a way to introduce it.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 34 Yes, yes.

Speaker 17 But it is the first Super Bowl, which is a very cool thing.

Speaker 49 Two black quarterbacks starting in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 5 Speaking of Jalen Hurts, I also think there'll be a little storyline.

Speaker 43 Last time he played in a championship game, he got benched in half.

Speaker 51 Yeah. Will Gardner Minshew come in?

Speaker 2 I actually had that exact storyline on my list. Yes.
Can I start?

Speaker 44 We'll get to you.

Speaker 2 Okay. We'll get to you.
How about this? People are talking about the Kelsey brothers

Speaker 2 and the quarterback brothers, but no one's talking about Fletcher Cox and Gainwell being cousins.

Speaker 45 Oh, that's cool.

Speaker 23 Did you know that?

Speaker 22 That's very cool.

Speaker 16 Whoa.

Speaker 27 Another thing no one's talking about is no matter who wins the Super Bowl, it will be the 22nd Lombardi trophy for a Wisconsin Badger.

Speaker 25 Not a lot of people are talking about that.

Speaker 5 So Leo Chennau on the Chiefs, and who's on the

Speaker 17 who is it on the fucking,

Speaker 57 I know it, I know it, I know it.

Speaker 28 TJ Edwards on the Eagles.

Speaker 25 So, linebacker you.

Speaker 69 So, someone's getting it.

Speaker 56 So, yeah, not a lot of, I haven't heard a lot of people talking about it.

Speaker 27 I think it should be talked about more.

Speaker 2 We've also got two Australians in this game. Jordan Milata.
There's definitely going to be some stories about how Jordan Milata did not play American football until he was super old.

Speaker 2 And then somebody in Australia was like, hey, Mike,

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 27 Chief's a holoc.

Speaker 30 I saw there was a

Speaker 27 piece on him in the New York Times, maybe trying to cuck you, Billy.

Speaker 50 Low-key.

Speaker 40 Yeah, low-key.

Speaker 83 I provided a lot of the New York Times content last year.

Speaker 22 You did. You did.

Speaker 22 You did the reporting.

Speaker 20 They just did a fucking, you know, a mixtape of your reporting.

Speaker 2 Billy's the gray bro. I like it.
Yeah. There's also, you know, everyone's talking about Andy Reid, former coach of the Eagles.
Well, no one's talking about Nick Siriani,

Speaker 2 former coach for the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah.
He was their wide receivers coach for many years, an offensive quality control guy.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 22 Wow.

Speaker 2 Then he leaves. Yeah, revenge game.

Speaker 17 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.

Speaker 5 Do you know who's second?

Speaker 23 Buddy Rode. Who's second?

Speaker 87 No.

Speaker 80 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.

Speaker 86 I have no idea.

Speaker 53 It is Greasy Neal.

Speaker 64 Greasy Neal.

Speaker 56 And I went down a rabbit hole of Greasy Neal facts.

Speaker 17 I just wanted to share a little Greasy Neal stuff.

Speaker 27 So Andy Reid has 224 games coached for the Eagles.

Speaker 88 Greasy Neal has 111.

Speaker 27 Andy Reid, like I said, most wins for the Eagles all time.

Speaker 29 Greasy Neal played professional football, also played in Major League Baseball.

Speaker 34 He did it at the same time, so he was Deion or Bo before those guys.

Speaker 27 He won the World Series in 1919 with the Reds hitting 357 in the World Series. He also coached the Eagles to two titles.

Speaker 51 He coached the Stegles

Speaker 22 during World War II.

Speaker 1 He coached college football and coached a team to a shared national title, including the only 0-0 tie in Rose Bowl history.

Speaker 27 He also coached college basketball for two years and college baseball for six years.

Speaker 54 This dude did it all.

Speaker 71 Is he the Greasy Neil?

Speaker 2 He's the greatest coach and the most versatile coach. I mean, that's crazy of all time.
That is nuts.

Speaker 44 Yeah, the fact that

Speaker 19 he was playing with Jim Thorpe in what was before the National Football League while also winning a World Series with the Reds.

Speaker 73 Shout out Greasy Neal.

Speaker 55 Greasy Neal, what a guy.

Speaker 5 And his name is not because he was greasy on the football field.

Speaker 35 It was read that he got the nickname in a verbal joust when he was a kid.

Speaker 2 And somebody just called him Greasy?

Speaker 5 Yeah, I think they were just having like a name off.

Speaker 2 That's tough that that one's Greasy Neal. Okay.
I like it. Shout out Greasy Neal.

Speaker 43 Yeah, I just wanted to, you know, share Greasy Neal.

Speaker 5 That's some great, and Andy Reid is going to, we're also going to get a lot of like fun Andy Reid stories.

Speaker 27 I saw one that was retweeted from 2018

Speaker 40 about Andy Reid, who grew up in L.A.

Speaker 21 and

Speaker 27 his favorite place is Tommy's Burgers in L.A.

Speaker 21 And he gets him flown to Kansas City, and he's quoted as saying, they're good for your joints.

Speaker 56 The grease keeps you lued up, man.

Speaker 48 Yeah. So

Speaker 82 we're just going to get fun Andy Reid.

Speaker 80 Like we're going to get the Andy Reid looking like

Speaker 34 25 years old playing against 12-year-old pictures.

Speaker 26 We're going to get all that stuff.

Speaker 67 Andy Reid.

Speaker 2 Andy Reid food stories. And there's not enough Andy Reid stories.
He's the best. There's not.

Speaker 2 Every Andy Reid story that you hear, you never hear a story about Coach Reid, and you're like, oh, man, that dickhead.

Speaker 16 You're always like.

Speaker 2 About Coach Reed. Coach Reed.

Speaker 18 Abandy Reed.

Speaker 2 About Andy Reid. His son.

Speaker 64 Yeah.

Speaker 2 But you never hear a bad story about Andy Reid. Yeah, yeah.
Andy Reed, the coach. Andy Reed the coach, yes.
He's a Mormon. He's a Mormon.
He doesn't drink. So this.

Speaker 2 In true Mormon tradition, he will have an opportunity to get two rings.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And Texas quarterbacks are back. Yes.
So both quarterbacks from Texas. Feels like we've been, I don't know, we haven't had the whole Texas quarterback discussion in a while.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 Neither one was recruited by Mac Brown to play safety at Texas. Two great quarterbacks from Texas, Texas back.
This is the most Johnsons in Super Bowl history.

Speaker 2 There are four Johnsons playing in this game. So a lot of Johnsons.

Speaker 22 Wow, that's a lot of Johnsons everywhere.

Speaker 56 I'm surprised that it hasn't happened before.

Speaker 2 Yeah, okay, I got to admit, I kind of fudged this one a little bit.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 There's three of them on, I think, three on the Eagles.

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 20 So

Speaker 32 this also is Andy Reid is trying to become the 14th coach to win multiple Super Bowls all time.

Speaker 6 So there's 13 coaches that won multiple Super Bowls.

Speaker 45 I'm going to say off the top of my head, I'm actually looking at it right now.

Speaker 2 All in the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 1 I think he'd be the first coach to win with two different teams.

Speaker 90 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Or no, no, he won with the Chiefs.

Speaker 5 I'm an idiot.

Speaker 73 I was thinking he won with the Eagles.

Speaker 24 Yeah, so he'll be the 14th, not all in in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 27 I don't know if, did Tom Flores get in the Hall of Fame? George Seifert's definitely not.

Speaker 43 I don't know. George Seifert has two.

Speaker 20 He also would then be on the precipice of joining the elite elite club.

Speaker 34 There's only four coaches that have won more than two Super Bowls. So it's Belichick, Chuck Noll, Joe Gibbs, and Bill Walsh.

Speaker 2 And I think he's got another one in him. Right.
So

Speaker 71 here's the other one.

Speaker 4 With Mahomes, he would be the 13th starting quarterback to win two rings or more.

Speaker 52 And he would also be close to the elusive elusive club of four starting quarterbacks who've won three or more.

Speaker 33 That's Tom Brady, Terry Bratch, Joe Montana, and Troy Aikman.

Speaker 5 He also, if he loses this one, would join the very elusive club.

Speaker 32 There's only one other quarterback all time who's one and two starting in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 24 Anyone got it? Anyone got it?

Speaker 67 One and two.

Speaker 2 It's not Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 45 No, he's only been to one.

Speaker 78 He's won the same amount of NSC Championship games as Rex Grossman.

Speaker 2 It's just a fact.

Speaker 41 That's not a hateful thing.

Speaker 55 That's just a fact.

Speaker 2 One quarterback with two Super Bowl losers.

Speaker 55 No, no.

Speaker 84 Yeah, one and two.

Speaker 51 Exactly one and two. There's obviously quarterbacks.

Speaker 5 Jim Kelly lost four.

Speaker 19 There's quarterbacks who've lost more than that.

Speaker 55 Yep.

Speaker 22 But

Speaker 46 exactly one and two.

Speaker 2 Give me a hint.

Speaker 33 It's happened in the last 25 years.

Speaker 20 One and two in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 85 That would be Kurt Warner.

Speaker 2 I was actually just about to say Kurt Warner.

Speaker 77 Kurt Warner.

Speaker 80 One obviously won with the Rams, lost with the Rams, and lost the Rams.

Speaker 16 Lost with the Cardinals, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 22 So Mahomes would be with Kurt Warner as the only other quarterback who's exactly one and two in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 Is he the only quarterback, Kurt Warner? Is he the only quarterback to lose two Super Bowls of two separate teams?

Speaker 57 Good question.

Speaker 2 No, he's not. No, wait.

Speaker 2 Peyton Manning lost one with the Broncos, but he never lost one with the Colts, right?

Speaker 19 He lost one with the Colts to the Saints.

Speaker 2 To the Saints, that's right.

Speaker 26 There we go. Yeah.

Speaker 35 So, yeah, it would be elusive or very, very exclusive club that Patrick Mahomes would be joining one and two.

Speaker 2 So you're talking about Wisconsin, the storyline of a lot of Wisconsin players in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 67 Yeah, I mean, I'm not a big player. Maybe we should no matter what

Speaker 2 we should show some respect to the emergence of the

Speaker 2 University of New Jersey, Rutgers.

Speaker 2 They've got two running backs on the Chiefs from Rutgers. So they've got Pacheco,

Speaker 2 and then their fullback is also Rutgers, and he never plays. That doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 That room, the running back room, is dominated by the Scarlet Knights.

Speaker 65 Yes, yes.

Speaker 56 So a lot of good Super Bowl storylines.

Speaker 16 Oh, here's another fun one.

Speaker 2 This is also the first time that any team has had their two starting receivers both have hyphens in their name: Valden Scantling and Juju Smith Schuster.

Speaker 23 Oh, wow. Yeah.

Speaker 90 That is

Speaker 61 pretty cool. That's too bad Clyde Edwards E.
Lair is injured.

Speaker 16 Yeah. Yeah, that is too bad.

Speaker 34 People forget Clyde Edwards E-Lair killed.

Speaker 87 And J.J.

Speaker 61 Arthur legal whiteside isn't still on the Eagles.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Wow, that would have been, you'd talk about a 40-yard dash. Yeah.

Speaker 39 That'd be crazy.

Speaker 63 That'd be super wild.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 2 Hank, are you ready for the haters' guide to the Super Bowl?

Speaker 16 Sure.

Speaker 18 Lay it on us.

Speaker 56 So we told Hank, because he hates this Super Bowl, to go ahead and give us, for people who hate this Super Bowl,

Speaker 69 what they could be looking forward to in a bad way.

Speaker 12 Jalen Hurts

Speaker 12 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.

Speaker 61 Shout out Adam Weitzman.

Speaker 59 That we talked about this.

Speaker 24 Oh, is he who brought him? Yeah.

Speaker 26 Well, that's why.

Speaker 33 That's the connection.

Speaker 90 Money.

Speaker 74 You don't know? He brings up big time celebrities.

Speaker 90 I think it's time to go to the games with them.

Speaker 81 It's actually like, honestly, I want to hate the move, but if I had endless money, I would do the same thing.

Speaker 61 It's right on the scores table, right next to Bayheim.

Speaker 87 Yeah, like, wouldn't you do that same thing if you were just like, hey, all right, all right, we'll move on.

Speaker 16 Like, Brady and Ellen, I get paying Brady and Ellman.

Speaker 20 Giannis went.

Speaker 22 If you could challenge you,

Speaker 2 You got to have some deep pockets. Josh Allen Stefante to afford Tom Brady to come watch a game with you in upstate New York.

Speaker 40 But how sick would that be if you had that money where you're like, all right, I got a private plane, show up, we'll hang out, we'll watch my favorite team, I'll be there.

Speaker 16 Paint some pictures, and that's it.

Speaker 25 I got to admit,

Speaker 27 you would do the same if you had endless money.

Speaker 2 It sounds kind of loser behavior. It is.

Speaker 24 It does.

Speaker 2 It's basically like a prostitute. It's like you're hiring male friends.

Speaker 20 Listen, I've gone through this thought process because

Speaker 3 it was like three or four years ago, I asked, I think it was Hubbs because he went to Syracuse.

Speaker 5 He's like, what's the deal with this guy?

Speaker 17 Because he always had famous people with him.

Speaker 81 He's like, he's got a shitload of money.

Speaker 17 He's a huge booster.

Speaker 5 And he just pays for famous people to go to games with him.

Speaker 26 And I was like, what a loser.

Speaker 20 And then I realized if I had...

Speaker 34 a billion dollars and I couldn't if I if you're on 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 think think I'd just be like, hey, Justin Fields, you want to go to the Cole Center real quick?

Speaker 2 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 him.

Speaker 2 In which case, I will change my tune 100%, and this guy's the coolest guy in the entire state of New York. Yes.

Speaker 48 Okay. Maybe the world.

Speaker 16 Hank, I could be bought.

Speaker 12 Why is Philadelphia content with second place if they lose a Super Bowl?

Speaker 59 Oh.

Speaker 12 Obviously, we know about the Phillies. We know about the soccer team.

Speaker 19 What's the soccer team's name?

Speaker 12 The Union.

Speaker 59 Yeah, you got it.

Speaker 90 Nailed it.

Speaker 65 So this is something

Speaker 12 I was doing some research.

Speaker 17 It is a storyline.

Speaker 12 Did you know that... Content?

Speaker 62 Who said that?

Speaker 12 Well, Philadelphia, Max, if you let me finish.

Speaker 62 Philadelphia, the Declaration.

Speaker 12 I don't know how much of a history buff you are. Oh, no.
The Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia.

Speaker 12 Somehow they're still the second state in the Union.

Speaker 2 Yeah, well, the Constitution was the one that made them into states.

Speaker 12 Still, second place.

Speaker 20 Declaration of Independence, you know, is like, we were just like, we're out.

Speaker 90 We're done with Philadelphia.

Speaker 2 Constitution was like, we're start our own deal.

Speaker 46 Yeah, we got our own kids.

Speaker 2 Who's in? And Delaware was like, pick me, I'm first. Yeah.

Speaker 23 Should have been Philly. Well, they were second.
But they were close, but they weren't there.

Speaker 49 Well, they were thinking about taxes.

Speaker 33 We need to get our taxes done.

Speaker 5 You got to do Delaware.

Speaker 83 Also, I think at one time they were America's capital, and they kind of got that robbed, too.

Speaker 2 They did, yeah. D.C.
kind of swagger jacked that.

Speaker 34 Big time.

Speaker 23 Again,

Speaker 12 content with second place, Max.

Speaker 2 That's true.

Speaker 23 I don't care about history.

Speaker 12 Patrick Mahomes is probably going to catch Tom Brady for most Super Bowl losses. That's you kind of brought that up.
Stole my shine there.

Speaker 62 What?

Speaker 12 He's on his way. Like, 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.

Speaker 2 So this would tie him with Tom Brady for the first time.

Speaker 23 The Super Bowls.

Speaker 16 No, Tom Brady has three.

Speaker 56 Yeah, Jim Kelly has four.

Speaker 59 You guys are really just...

Speaker 64 Dude, you want me to do do this list?

Speaker 56 All right, wait, say it again. Say it to me.

Speaker 12 People keep talking about factor fishing. Patrick Mahomes is going to catch up to Brady, right? That's the storyline.

Speaker 16 Right.

Speaker 64 In my eyes, he's going.

Speaker 12 The only thing that he's going to catch up to Brady on is Super Bowl losses.

Speaker 10 Got it.

Speaker 16 Okay.

Speaker 12 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.

Speaker 13 Losses.

Speaker 16 Yeah. Got it.
Got it.

Speaker 2 Catch up.

Speaker 12 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.

Speaker 12 I love Greg Olson, but Fox is doing the game. Troy Aikman and Joe Buck aren't doing it.

Speaker 46 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 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 complain.
Very good.

Speaker 12 I think they're good, too. I'm just saying.

Speaker 27 There will definitely be some people complaining, but that just comes with the territory.

Speaker 49 And they're not real complaints like Romo.

Speaker 2 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. Yeah.
Does that make sense?

Speaker 3 Yes, absolutely.

Speaker 12 The biggest draw for this game is Rihanna.

Speaker 5 There are definitely people who are going to tune into the Super Bowl being like, where's Joe Buck?

Speaker 16 Right. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 That will happen. Joe Buck should do his own alternate stream, like on Twitch.
Yeah.

Speaker 49 Rihanna's the biggest draw.

Speaker 5 Yeah. Okay.
Actually, someone did, someone tweeted me that, like, this is the most boring Super Bowl ever.

Speaker 6 I think they were just a hater.

Speaker 33 And they're like, it's just, it's just a Rihanna concert wrapped in a football game.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 is going to be watching just pretending she's Beyonce. Yeah.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 71 No, he never said that because it got deleted.

Speaker 46 What do you mean?

Speaker 52 He deleted it off Twitter.

Speaker 2 But then he made a personal apology video to Rihanna, which is like next level Stephen A. Smith.

Speaker 23 But the real video was out there.

Speaker 2 Now Rihanna has to engage with me and talk to me about how I'm sorry that I disregarded her.

Speaker 12 First Super Bowl in Arizona without the Patriots involved. Lenny wouldn't even care.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, I was just thinking about that.

Speaker 12 People are talking about that.

Speaker 34 They are talking about that.

Speaker 12 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.

Speaker 12 He said, well, blow the doors off this parade. I'm on my way out.
I'll spend whatever they want.

Speaker 12 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.

Speaker 12 So, you know, again, I guess he doesn't care about that because whatever.

Speaker 27 Also, fun PMT storyline.

Speaker 69 This was the first Super Bowl city that Hank, PFT, and I all hung out.

Speaker 23 It's true.

Speaker 34 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 My 30th birthday. That was a fun time.

Speaker 23 What a great time. What a great night.

Speaker 61 It led to one of the craziest finishes in Super Bowl history.

Speaker 22 It did, yeah. I wasn't there for that.

Speaker 22 I was there for that.

Speaker 12 Well, that was

Speaker 12 best weekend of my life. And I PDF was in the middle of the day.

Speaker 12 I'll count that as part of the weekend, but that was the best weekend of my life.

Speaker 2 That was a fantastic weekend. I was looking through my pictures on my phone phone the other day.
For some reason, I was scrolling back to that weekend, and I had a picture. I sent it to Hank.

Speaker 2 It's of that snap right before Russell Wilson through the interception. I sent it to him.
I thought he would enjoy it.

Speaker 63 Did you enjoy it?

Speaker 12 Yeah, I loved it. Yeah,

Speaker 2 you always have those memories.

Speaker 23 You know, truly.

Speaker 2 Red cross. Probably never happened again, but at least you've got those memories.
Yeah.

Speaker 16 That's not true.

Speaker 12 Oh, well, you guys, I will have those memories. You guys

Speaker 23 have no memories.

Speaker 16 No memories.

Speaker 2 No happiness.

Speaker 41 We're like memento.

Speaker 23 But

Speaker 12 maybe this weekend, maybe, you know, Max. I'm officially Chiefs and the Lego.

Speaker 16 What did Mike think?

Speaker 22 Of course you are. Of course you are.

Speaker 52 The passes for Cowards and Losers.

Speaker 14 Cowards and Crisis.

Speaker 44 No, of course.

Speaker 73 We all knew you were going to end up on the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 27 Because you can convince yourself, and I actually kind of agree, like, reaching Tom Brady's Super Bowls is a monumental task.

Speaker 53 It's just, it's more like in the now, you want the Chiefs to win.

Speaker 90 Maybe in 10 years, you will be like, whoops, if he's going for his sixth.

Speaker 12 Right, but I have to sit with this guy two feet in front of me.

Speaker 14 Yeah, forever. That's true.

Speaker 61 Philly's also coming for Title Town.

Speaker 23 Oh, really?

Speaker 28 The Sixers?

Speaker 8 Hottest team in the NBA.

Speaker 64 The Phillies? The Union.

Speaker 48 The Union? Yeah. Title Town, baby.

Speaker 16 You guys have to win the title first.

Speaker 60 Every team in Philly is very good right now.

Speaker 63 Wait, who'd Max Wesley? You need to chill out.

Speaker 93 I should have that.

Speaker 2 I should have. Max, if I were you, I would delete this from this podcast.

Speaker 12 Who is currently the number one team in the NBA, Max?

Speaker 8 Who is currently the hottest team in the House?

Speaker 12 Who is currently the number one team in the NHL, Max?

Speaker 8 I don't care about hockey.

Speaker 12 Got it. All right.

Speaker 14 Just curious.

Speaker 12 Max and Translation. For the record, it's the Celtics and the Bruins.

Speaker 2 You should have at least one title under your belt, like current title for you to start on

Speaker 12 like one title in the last I don't know ten years the Eagles on the Eagles

Speaker 2 Okay, they got one Yeah, it was a I mean it was pretty big. It was against your Patriots.

Speaker 12 Yeah, what do you say Billy? All right, this was like

Speaker 22 seven thousand

Speaker 16 thousand

Speaker 43 I liked that the haters list it was good

Speaker 82 you got another you got another brothers joke?

Speaker 83 No, but trust the process has probably been the biggest Ponzi scheme ever like perpetuated on a city.

Speaker 23 Literally. I don't know.
It kind of worked.

Speaker 12 They've had had like seven processes. None of them have worked.

Speaker 6 The processes.

Speaker 5 Because they got the guys. They just picked the wrong guys.

Speaker 28 Picked Markel Foltz and Ben Simmons and Nerlin's Dwell.

Speaker 25 The actual...

Speaker 24 Well, indeed, yeah, of course.

Speaker 5 But I'm saying the process,

Speaker 17 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.

Speaker 2 Yes, tanking works. It objectively works.

Speaker 2 If the Redskins had lost to that Dolphins team, I would have Joe Burrow right now. That's just a fact.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 3 Okay, should we do a hot seat, cool throw?

Speaker 2 Oh, one last story. Yeah.
Will the Bosas watch?

Speaker 2 Are the Bosas going to watch? Because

Speaker 2 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 Super Bowl.

Speaker 7 Solidarity, I think he can't watch.

Speaker 2 Joey's had a bad last couple days. There was the Bosa parking lot video.
And then another video emerged of Bosa in the boxes, in the luxury suites at the game.

Speaker 2 And people were just showing him pictures of Trevor Lawrence on their phones being like, this guy just kicked your ass.

Speaker 23 Oh, man.

Speaker 2 And he was, again, very, very triggered by the entire thing. Yeah.
Just bad luck for the Bosas this week.

Speaker 2 I need to know, though, if either one of them will watch. Yeah.

Speaker 19 Let the boy watch.

Speaker 94 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 94 Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 94 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout one also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake maple glazed donut and blueberry cobbler find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com uh okay hank hot seat cool trunk

Speaker 12 uh my hot seat is mr beast question mark oh it's kind of similar to my dana white question mark last week uh mr beast made a video and mr beast for those that don't know just does he's a youtuber probably i think he's the biggest YouTuber that exists.

Speaker 12 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.

Speaker 12 He does all these types of pranks and stuff, but in general, he's just giving away money. He's a very generous guy, good-hearted dude.

Speaker 12 In his recent video, it was curing a thousand people of blindness.

Speaker 12 What? That was the title of the video. Like, I cured a thousand people 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.

Speaker 12 Or, like, he was kind of using that as clickbait.

Speaker 16 Oh.

Speaker 12 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.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I mean, I don't know if he's on the hot seat or not because I don't think, I mean, I think he's.

Speaker 84 No, it's a bunch of fucking losers who sit on their computers all day.

Speaker 81 And he,

Speaker 29 if you have, if you have a ton of money, you can't do anything correct in their eyes.

Speaker 41 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?

Speaker 5 Or if you do what Mr.

Speaker 17 Beast does and gives people a chance to win the money, it's like, Well, you're taking advantage of them.

Speaker 48 You really can't win.

Speaker 2 Or if you give people the surgery necessary to see, they're like, Well, you're just using them for clout, but guess what?

Speaker 2 At the end of the day, he's still paying for, what, a thousand people to be able to see, which is cool.

Speaker 2 I think the objection should be the fact fact that there are so many people out there that need a simple surgery that costs like $1,000 that can't afford it. Right.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 44 Yeah, be mad at how we do healthcare.

Speaker 2 Be mad at health care, not at Mr. Beast providing single-payer health care.
to these people as an individual.

Speaker 84 That's a fact.

Speaker 81 And like the 300 people to play a board game to win a million dollars, like

Speaker 45 who wouldn't want to compete in that? That's fun. Yeah.

Speaker 16 Like, okay.

Speaker 2 I'm pro Mr. Beast.

Speaker 64 Yeah.

Speaker 2 For much the same reason why I'm pro that Syracuse guy now is because maybe one day he'll give me money. Yeah.

Speaker 17 Mr. Beast, just a thought.

Speaker 29 Who can stay in a bowling alley the longest for a million dollars?

Speaker 16 We're up for it.

Speaker 63 I'll do it. Let us know.

Speaker 12 My cool throne is Max Homa.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 12 On Saturday, he won $1.5 million winning the Farmers Open tournament.

Speaker 2 On Monday, there's a pop-a-go monday skins game in arizona which is just you know community game he won he showed up one shot of 67 won 400 bucks that's fucked up that's fucked that's fucked up max no i like that no we got to keep him humble max well he's max you showed up and you took four hundred dollars from working class golfers you're worse than mr worse than this 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 yeah no we that's a cool move i would do the same thing like i always say that i I mean, we're going to talk about it with Pete Weber.

Speaker 81 We talked about him going, showing up and playing

Speaker 66 in like rec leagues.

Speaker 59 He was like, yeah, I still do it.

Speaker 12 If you came in second, would you be mad? Or like, this is cool.

Speaker 17 That's the risk you take.

Speaker 51 Mad.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 2 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 storytell, but at the end of the day, Max Homa just showed up fresh off a win.

Speaker 30 But it actually is weirdly similar to Mr.

Speaker 53 Beast that, like, if you want Max Homer to play in that game, if you play in that game, because what's if you played the round of your life, you beat Max Homa.

Speaker 23 That's fucking cool.

Speaker 29 Like imagine being like, yeah, I beat him. Like if you know, when LeBron won by one, one stroke.

Speaker 70 Remember when LeBron got embarrassing Max. Remember when LeBron got dunked on and then he got deleted from the internet?

Speaker 66 Yeah. That poor guy, like, he dunked on LeBron.

Speaker 63 That's fucking awesome.

Speaker 2 I still think that, come on, Max.

Speaker 2 Let the community golfers have their $400.

Speaker 75 Spend more time with your kid.

Speaker 61 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 wind to give to his son down the road one day.

Speaker 16 His first son of the dad.

Speaker 2 His son's going to be like, What do I do with this?

Speaker 2 Great story. His son's going to be like, I'm too dad.

Speaker 4 Does this come off?

Speaker 75 I'm going to take this off and give it to my kids.

Speaker 16 That thing is disgusting. It's so gross.
It's so gross.

Speaker 50 All right.

Speaker 34 PFT, your hot seat cooler on.

Speaker 2 My hot seat is artificial intelligence.

Speaker 2 Because, you know, that chat GPT artificial intelligence thing?

Speaker 2 Well, they've designed a feature on it, 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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 doing Skynet. It feels like it's Terminator all over again.

Speaker 17 I hope this new robot is not real and they're just using it to scare people.

Speaker 81 Like, you know, like peeing in the pool and your

Speaker 33 bathing suits turned purple.

Speaker 20 Yeah, that was never real. Yeah.

Speaker 22 They just scared the whole country.

Speaker 2 Yeah. It's like, you better behave because AI Claus is looking out.

Speaker 17 Yeah, Billy should be scared.

Speaker 2 I'm not scared. Oh, okay.
We need you to test this out, Billy.

Speaker 83 I know. I just like interviewing the chat robot about news about it, and it makes great blogs.

Speaker 2 You think that that's going to give you trustworthy information?

Speaker 83 I'm just like, yo, ChatGPT, 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?

Speaker 12 He's basically just sitting talking to Smarter Child.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Oh, Smarter Child.
That's a nice throwback.

Speaker 83 What's Smarter Child?

Speaker 83 Don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you didn't have AIM or AIM, whatever you want to call it.

Speaker 56 PFT, your cool throne.

Speaker 2 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.
Atrio.

Speaker 2 I didn't understand what was going on, but best, I didn't want to learn any more about it.

Speaker 2 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?

Speaker 22 I would love to hear it.

Speaker 2 Okay, so this guy on, he's a guy on Twitch, and

Speaker 2 he lives with his girlfriend/slash wife. Wife.
Okay, so he lives with his wife.

Speaker 12 Maybe fiancé.

Speaker 2 And this guy watched porn,

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 26 Wait, he Dan Roloffsky did a Twitch stream?

Speaker 2 No, it was Alex Bennett.

Speaker 23 Oh, okay.

Speaker 2 No, no, but he was like

Speaker 2 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

Speaker 2 and then I clicked on one of the games.

Speaker 2 You know, like the games that say like, I bet you won't last. I didn't know anyone ever clicked on this guy did and got caught.

Speaker 63 Damn.

Speaker 12 So he didn't get caught. He got caught by his stream.
Like he was on, he was streaming. He was on his internet browser.

Speaker 12 They saw the tab and they saw the website that it was and they're like, what the fuck is this?

Speaker 12 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 popular streamer.

Speaker 12 He's friends with all the big female streamers.

Speaker 66 Wait, so he can't watch porn?

Speaker 12 The website that he was on is an AI porn website that is deep fake.

Speaker 16 It deep fakes the girls that he's friends with.

Speaker 22 Okay, that's different. So he's jacking up.
Oh, that's friends.

Speaker 25 That's fucked up. But

Speaker 2 it wasn't even them.

Speaker 22 It was deep fakes.

Speaker 46 Yes.

Speaker 16 Yeah, that's fucked up.

Speaker 12 Oh,

Speaker 12 of like, I mean, it's like Pokemane.

Speaker 65 Yeah, he's doing

Speaker 65 names you're not going to know.

Speaker 16 He's like,

Speaker 64 he's friends with them. It's like he streams with them and

Speaker 12 interacts with them and stuff.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so that is kind of to be like, oh, this girl's hot.

Speaker 33 Let me deep fake a porn so I can jerk off to her.

Speaker 2 But then he made his wife sit there while he apologized for jacking off to his friend.

Speaker 57 Yeah. Right.
But that makes sense.

Speaker 26 He just clicked on it by accident.

Speaker 22 Okay.

Speaker 12 He was like, I've been doing all this AI research. So

Speaker 12 he tried to tie it into.

Speaker 2 It's a real-life shack meme. I'm sorry, Pokeman.
I was not familiar with your game. Yeah.

Speaker 16 Damn.

Speaker 59 That's tough for him.

Speaker 90 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Okay, so I'm on the side because because this whole like deep fake thing.

Speaker 16 The poor wife, I'm on the side of the poor.

Speaker 46 Yeah, I'm on her side.

Speaker 2 She got brought onto a stream to cry for clout. That's tough.

Speaker 12 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.

Speaker 2 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

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 But the whole deep fake thing is really strange because we've all been worried that it's going to come to the porn issue at some point.

Speaker 2 And so now there are just websites out there that create, you can just deep fake anybody doing porn.

Speaker 2 That sounds very dangerous to me.

Speaker 12 Well, the way it was prefaced in the tweet was like, I was very confused because he got caught by his wife watching porn or something. I was like, this doesn't seem that serious.

Speaker 12 And then I had to do some research on what exactly he did in the website he was on. It's like, oh, this is very fucked up.

Speaker 33 Yeah, Yeah, that sounds fucked up.

Speaker 2 I don't know who she is, but I stand with Pokemon.

Speaker 22 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 23 I don't even know.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's fucked up. If a guy that you thought was your friend was jacking off to you low-key,

Speaker 2 that's tough. Yeah.

Speaker 74 Pokemon.

Speaker 77 All right.

Speaker 20 My hot seat is,

Speaker 19 I guess, how I shower because I shower in the morning.

Speaker 20 So Billy actually retweeted this onto his timeline.

Speaker 33 I saw it.

Speaker 20 It's a meme that says

Speaker 31 blue pills showering in the morning, red pills showering at night, and then it's people with common sense and it's a bunch of red pills.

Speaker 71 And

Speaker 27 I've always showered in the morning.

Speaker 29 I don't, I, listen, I know that then it became like a whole issue that I was like,

Speaker 20 like not understanding like blue-collar worker.

Speaker 34 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 and not shower in the morning.

Speaker 19 Or just take two showers.

Speaker 51 Or take two showers.

Speaker 26 But I, are, are any of you guys rolling into work not showered?

Speaker 2 No, I, I shower in the morning. I don't shower today.

Speaker 12 I feel answerable.

Speaker 46 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I shower in the morning. And then, I mean, podcasting is sweaty business.
Sometimes I'll shower at night, but if I work out, then I shower. Of course.
I don't sleep in my sweat. No.

Speaker 2 So I shower, I'd say one, I shower 1.25 times a day, and the one time is always morning.

Speaker 51 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,

Speaker 1 haircut, there's a lot of times that you would shower at night, but it's more like

Speaker 73 people who are not showering in the morning and walking into an office, what are you doing?

Speaker 93 Again, blue collar, totally understand.

Speaker 20 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 23 It wakes you up.

Speaker 17 It makes you feel clean. It makes you feel fresh.

Speaker 2 And then you have the coffee brewing while you're in the shower.

Speaker 69 And then people were saying, they were shaming me, like you're walking around and getting dirty all day and then getting into bed.

Speaker 57 What do I do all day? Like if I don't sweat, what do I do?

Speaker 23 What's your clothes are for?

Speaker 69 Yeah, I don't go into my bed with my jeans on.

Speaker 25 That's a good point, Hank.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Clothes, wait, were you saying clothes is in like you walk around, your clothes absorb all your dirt? They block it.
Right. I'd say they also absorb.
They absorb.

Speaker 22 But then you take off your clothes.

Speaker 16 Like I put on multiple layers.

Speaker 23 It's not getting through multiple layers.

Speaker 2 So the routine is you go home, you go to bed, you take your clothes off. You're still wearing your underwear.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 2 You get in bed, and then in the morning, you shower, and then you put on the new underwear.

Speaker 16 Correct. Yeah.

Speaker 17 It's crazy.

Speaker 83 I was thinking about this. Sometimes I don't shower in the morning, but I wash my face and use a lot of deodorant.

Speaker 23 Okay, that's usually last morning.

Speaker 83 That's usually after I work out late at night and I shower directly afterwards.

Speaker 46 Yes. Okay, that makes sense.

Speaker 83 And it depends on how clean the sheets are, too.

Speaker 12 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 But mostly that's the only time that I'll ever not shower in the morning.

Speaker 83 But also, you keep your AC or don't turn your heat on so you don't sweat.

Speaker 92 I sweat every night in cold, no matter what.

Speaker 34 So that's why I also shower.

Speaker 27 But it's weird.

Speaker 81 I guess I'm in the minority that people are not showering in the mornings.

Speaker 2 I think it might have also been a troll.

Speaker 44 I have

Speaker 43 2,000 replies to the tweet of people debating showering.

Speaker 67 And I, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 73 It's, I, showering in the morning.

Speaker 64 Yeah.

Speaker 23 It's actually. I do shower in the morning.

Speaker 83 It's actually a perfect debate because everyone lives such different lifestyles.

Speaker 43 Yeah, I guess, yeah.

Speaker 69 It is a dumb debate.

Speaker 20 It's like one of those ones like, how do you not eat this with this?

Speaker 83 It's like, well, like, like, we should start one, like, do you eat, is breakfast necessary? That would cause a stir.

Speaker 2 Actually, let's get that on. Yes, I'm team breakfast.

Speaker 62 Yeah, I like breakfast.

Speaker 83 But intermittent fasting. Breakfast takes up too much time in the morning.

Speaker 2 You can have breakfast for dinner.

Speaker 83 No, but just like eating when you, just when you wake up.

Speaker 2 Do you do that? Are people going to be heated about this?

Speaker 83 I think it would fall right with showers.

Speaker 2 I eat breakfast 50% of the time.

Speaker 55 I think it's just weird to not shower in the morning because it makes you fresh for the day.

Speaker 40 Like it wakes you up.

Speaker 2 it like you put on new clothes i'll say that if you have an office job and you work some semblance of eight to five nine to six somewhere in that range and you don't shower in the morning before your office job that's weird yeah that's weird now that's as far as other lifestyles of course we don't know because we don't do that 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 uh 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.

Speaker 73 Yeah.

Speaker 69 And I didn't even

Speaker 69 really look at it again.

Speaker 29 And then I looked at it again when we got back to the office.

Speaker 45 I was like, what the fuck?

Speaker 57 People are really debating showering.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Listen, I'm pro-shower.

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Shower once or twice a day.

Speaker 20 My cool throne is Bubba Watson. Bubba Watson has joined the Live Tour.
We knew that.

Speaker 80 Also, just shout out anyone who joins the Live Tour like after the first wave.

Speaker 51 It's a lot easier.

Speaker 21 But he said the reason why he joined the Live Tour is because, because, quote, my 10-year-old was sitting in the bed with me and we were watching golf on the TV and he knew the aces.

Speaker 5 Everybody knows the aces.

Speaker 17 They keep winning. He knew the aces.

Speaker 75 He knew the Stingers.

Speaker 5 So he basically was like, because the team aspect and my kids can follow along easier, that's why I took like $100 million from the Saudis.

Speaker 2 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 teams.

Speaker 5 Yes, you're an Aces guy.

Speaker 56 Big time.

Speaker 83 put a future on the aces you love the aces son always been an aces guy all right billy your hot seat cool to run uh my hot seat also mr beast also uh the other streamer and showers

Speaker 83 uh all that but last you don't have to do 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.

Speaker 47 No, I agree. Yeah.
That's actually

Speaker 2 Billy. I think that might be the smartest thing you've ever said.
It's kind of weird.

Speaker 2 Billy football should never be featured in the New York Times. Yeah.

Speaker 83 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,

Speaker 83 Emperor Tamarin. Two monkeys were stolen, but they recovered the monkeys.
Oh, nice. Cool throne, Dallas Zoo because something was going on.

Speaker 23 Leopard. Cloud Leopard.

Speaker 2 The leopard escaped.

Speaker 83 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.

Speaker 83 But someone was literally breaking into the zoo and trying to steal animals.

Speaker 2 That kind of rocks.

Speaker 2 If that's what the Joker is up to, then I love the Joker.

Speaker 83 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.

Speaker 2 That doesn't rock.

Speaker 2 But if it's just for the chaos aspect, if it's like he's 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.

Speaker 83 That's like Good Night Gorilla. Yeah.
That children's book. OG Joker.

Speaker 23 Got it. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 OG Joker. All right, Jake.

Speaker 61 My hot seat is Pro Bowl qualifications.

Speaker 16 Yes.

Speaker 61 Tyler Huntley, who threw two touchdowns and three interceptions this year, is heading to the Pro Bowl.

Speaker 17 This kind of bummed me out because.

Speaker 61 I understand there's injuries and Super Bowl exemptions, but there's got to be.

Speaker 2 So what you're saying is the Ravens can afford to get rid of Lamar. Yeah.

Speaker 16 Yeah, they've got a Pro Bowl quarterback behind him.

Speaker 28 It also is just so stupid that they have to send someone when they aren't even playing the real game this year, right?

Speaker 69 Right.

Speaker 23 I don't get it.

Speaker 93 Why do you know?

Speaker 61 Darren Carr and Trevor Lawrence were at it as well, but

Speaker 61 injuries to,

Speaker 61 well, Mahomes is exempt. Tua, Herbert, and Lamar were all ahead of him and all backed out.

Speaker 2 I'm trying to think who else should have been ahead of him from the AFC.

Speaker 68 Josh Allen and Burrow?

Speaker 2 I mean, can you pick it?

Speaker 16 I got it.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 61 I mean, they're also in the playoffs.

Speaker 96 Mike White?

Speaker 90 Yeah.

Speaker 31 Mike White would have been a better choice than Tyler Huntley.

Speaker 40 I agree.

Speaker 61 I guess because the Ravens made the playoffs and he started and almost won that game.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 9 That is true.

Speaker 23 Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 61 My Cool Thrones, first responders, specifically in New York City, it was officially announced earlier this week that Barcelona Sports will be hosting and broadcasting the annual NYPD FDNY hockey game on Barcelona.tv.

Speaker 61 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 12 Who's going to be in the middle of the day? Saturday.

Speaker 61 April 15th. I'll be joining the Spit and Chicklets group.

Speaker 16 Oh, wow.

Speaker 61 I'm very excited. So, me and Biz in the the booth.

Speaker 66 Saturday, what?

Speaker 61 April 15th.

Speaker 63 Oh, tax day.

Speaker 16 So, is it?

Speaker 23 Yeah. April 15th.

Speaker 2 Well, I guess this year it would be

Speaker 23 the Monday. Yeah.
The 17th.

Speaker 61 So, the way the schedule works is that time.

Speaker 43 Do you not pay your taxes?

Speaker 16 No, I do.

Speaker 27 How do you not know April 15th?

Speaker 2 He probably pays right when he gets the form.

Speaker 16 Right when he gets to get it. He's 109 or someone.

Speaker 23 They help. Okay, good.

Speaker 23 It sounds like you don't pay your taxes.

Speaker 16 I do.

Speaker 14 I can send the form to somebody else who does. You guys.
Yep.

Speaker 33 You and Bosco.

Speaker 61 So the way the schedule works out is that when this game is being broadcasted by us Saturday, April 15th, it's at the time off in between the regular season and the postseason for the NHL.

Speaker 61 So we will be the only game on that. Oh, hell yes.
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.

Speaker 61 But Saturday,

Speaker 61 April 15th with a spit and chicks.

Speaker 49 FTNY versus NYPD.

Speaker 61 It's going to be a sold-out UBS arena where the Islanders play.

Speaker 34 Got to get your

Speaker 1 Irish names ready.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 16 I'm excited.

Speaker 90 I feel like a lot of Ryan's and Kevin's playing in that game.

Speaker 2 O'Sullivans. Yeah.

Speaker 23 Yeah. It'll be a great game.

Speaker 61 I'm really excited. You have to come.
It seems like an awesome event. Okay.

Speaker 26 So I can't wait for that. Awesome.

Speaker 2 Are they allowed to fight?

Speaker 60 Yeah, apparently.

Speaker 59 It's called Rough and Rowdy on Ice.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 97 Apparently, it gets really heated. I love it.

Speaker 16 I'm really excited.

Speaker 23 We're going to try to get a fight.

Speaker 93 That's obviously for a great call.

Speaker 12 We're going to have to fight in the next rough and rowdy ice.

Speaker 23 Oh, hell yes.

Speaker 2 In theory, could the police team just arrest the firefighting team for trying to fight them?

Speaker 59 Yeah. I want to know whose side are you guys on?

Speaker 83 Check out NYPD FDNY.

Speaker 2 I hate fires and I love crime. So

Speaker 23 I think I'm talking about fire is a crime.

Speaker 2 Arson? Yeah. Arson, there's the overlap, and that's the verbal handshake.

Speaker 46 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Fuck.

Speaker 2 Who are you on, Hank?

Speaker 69 I'm going to roll with the FDNY, I think.

Speaker 83 I'm NYPD 10

Speaker 61 out of 10. We know.

Speaker 48 Yeah,

Speaker 2 I think I got to.

Speaker 2 I got to go FDNY.

Speaker 12 I just love the line in the part of the fucking FiFi just fucking bricks.

Speaker 12 I just say that to them all the time.

Speaker 23 Also,

Speaker 62 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.

Speaker 2 I'm going to take the over.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 50 Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 50 Okay.

Speaker 91 Let's get to the interview.

Speaker 24 Pete Weber,

Speaker 45 greatest bowler of all time.

Speaker 73 Okay, we now welcome on the man, the myth, the legend.

Speaker 85 Now, it is Pete Weber.

Speaker 27 He has over 100 titles to his name.

Speaker 22 Is that true? Over 100 titles to his name.

Speaker 28 I'm going to set the stage real quick, Pete.

Speaker 88 I want to call you Mr. Weber because I have

Speaker 26 a legend. All right.

Speaker 9 Should I call you Mr. Weber? No.
Okay, Pete.

Speaker 16 All right.

Speaker 1 We have been doing this show for seven years now.

Speaker 76 We've interviewed a lot of people, a lot of different people from a lot of different sports.

Speaker 78 You have passed the test of I'm actually nervous to interview you because you are such a legend.

Speaker 3 I just want to say that to get ready.

Speaker 9 Why am I such a legend?

Speaker 2 Because you are a sport. It's like growing up.
Wow. Pete Weber was bowling.

Speaker 9 Yes. Yeah, but I'm still doing it.
You are still doing it. And I still thoroughly enjoy it, too.
I still love the competition. I still love being out there.

Speaker 9 I just don't feel like I'm a legend yet, but I appreciate you.

Speaker 16 Oh, you know who you are. You're a legend.

Speaker 67 I appreciate the legend.

Speaker 4 And I think that it would be a disservice not to just start right where everyone wants us to start.

Speaker 5 Let's just do it.

Speaker 40 Give us a whole quote.

Speaker 56 You say, who do you think you are?

Speaker 73 I am.

Speaker 27 What did you finish it with? Got it?

Speaker 16 Something like that?

Speaker 5 Oh, it's yes, goddammit. Yes.
Yes, goddamn it.

Speaker 9 that is right yes i did it i did it number who do you think you are i am yes get it right

Speaker 9 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 i it just was kind of a missay because i was sitting there and i was i was thinking what i was gonna 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?

Speaker 9 I am.

Speaker 29 And that's the best part of the story that I think a lot of people don't know.

Speaker 5 That was directed to a 12-year-old kid.

Speaker 66 Oh, yeah, 12, 13, 14.

Speaker 9 You know, I'm not real sure.

Speaker 62 That makes it even better.

Speaker 72 So, what was the kid was like heckling you during the game?

Speaker 9 Well, he rooted out loud a couple times against me, the second frame. When I left the 10 pin,

Speaker 9 he just loud enough, yes,

Speaker 9 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, because that's just takes away from everything.

Speaker 9 But it pisses me off. So, you know, when I get mad, I

Speaker 9 let people know about it. And I've never held back.

Speaker 72 Now, after you do the Who Do You Think You Are, I Am, Did you know that it was like an iconic moment in the moment?

Speaker 27 Or was it afterwards where people start sharing it?

Speaker 71 Or were you like, I'm Pete Weber.

Speaker 55 That was gold, what I just gave the people.

Speaker 9 No, actually, I thought, God, what a stupid saying.

Speaker 9 And then it started showing up on like all, on Sports Center and then all the halls of shame across the country.

Speaker 16 No hall of shame.

Speaker 9 Yeah, but, you know, I didn't take it that way. Yeah.
I figured, well, I did something good and bowling is getting attention. And that's what we need, is we need attention.

Speaker 9 And who better to do it than me?

Speaker 2 It was iconic. And I also think that...

Speaker 2 Was it Ernie McCracken from Kingpin?

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Bill Murray's character. He was loosely based after you, right? Did you watch that movie and you're like, yeah, this is pretty cool?

Speaker 9 Yeah, I've seen Kingpin, yes.

Speaker 9 But

Speaker 9 that came out before I started doing all my antics.

Speaker 16 Oh, there are the bad boy of bowling.

Speaker 2 Do you take pride in knowing that you were the bad boy of bowling?

Speaker 9 Absolutely. Absolutely.
I mean, you know,

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 And when people do that to me, then I'm not going to hold back.

Speaker 9 It's just not fair to me, and it's not fair to my opponents that people do that.

Speaker 72 So let's start from the beginning.

Speaker 5 Pete Weber, the bowler.

Speaker 27 Your dad was obviously a famous bowler as well.

Speaker 5 At what age were you like, this is it?

Speaker 7 This is my career.

Speaker 80 I know that I'm going to be one of the best of all time at bowling.

Speaker 16 Well,

Speaker 9 growing up, you know, I bowled. 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.

Speaker 9 Her high game was 289. So, you know, 10 pin in the 11th shot.
So she was very happy about that.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 And the first game in men's league, I shot 300. Really? And then they proceeded to hand me $100.

Speaker 9 And I was like, hmm, back in 1976, $100 went a long way.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 9 But, you know, I was like, oh, wow, I can actually make some money at this.

Speaker 9 And then by the time I was 15 and 16 and went in some little regional tournaments and then local tournaments, I was like, yeah, this is what I want to do.

Speaker 9 And dad always told me from about 14 on, he says, Pete, you're the best in the family. You're going to surpass me and be better than me.
And I said, Dad, Dad, I'm sorry, but you're Dick Weber.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 75 What was your first 300?

Speaker 23 How old were you?

Speaker 9 I was 12 years old. Jesus.
I was bowling in adult junior league with my junior coach from Saturdays.

Speaker 9 And I shot 300, and he actually shot 299. Oh,

Speaker 89 so you beat him by one pin?

Speaker 2 Yeah. And he shot maybe like one of the best bowlers.

Speaker 9 Yeah, yeah. He was a good bowler back.
And he got beat by a 12-year-old.

Speaker 90 Yeah, but

Speaker 9 any given day, right?

Speaker 99 Yeah.

Speaker 56 So,

Speaker 17 how many 300s have you bowled in your life?

Speaker 99 I could not tell you.

Speaker 9 I know

Speaker 9 it's probably over 120.

Speaker 9 Maybe more than that.

Speaker 2 Are they all built the same, or are some 300s better than others?

Speaker 9 I have one 300 that really sticks out. I was in a PBA tournament in Detroit.

Speaker 9 On the left lane, I had five Brooklyns.

Speaker 9 Which is hitting the left side of the headpin for a right-hander. Okay.
That would be hitting the Brooklyn side is going crossover. Okay.

Speaker 9 And then on the right lane, I had

Speaker 9 seven

Speaker 9 or yeah, seven, ten in the pit strikes.

Speaker 100 Okay. Normal strikes.

Speaker 46 Yep.

Speaker 9 But to get five Brooklyns on one lane and shoot 300, that's pretty lucky.

Speaker 2 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 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-off.

Speaker 9 Okay. Like you have to step up to get on the approach.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 So there are things that we have to protect ourselves about.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 27 this looks like it could be a 300 game.

Speaker 3 Like, this is happening.

Speaker 9 Well, everybody says the first one is the hardest one to throw. Okay.
I totally disagree. I think the 10th one is.
Yeah, I would say. Because if you don't get the 10th one, then you have no chance.

Speaker 9 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

Speaker 22 most important.

Speaker 2 Is there a rule like in baseball, you're not supposed to talk about a no-hitter?

Speaker 2 Are you supposed to talk about a 300 as it's in progress?

Speaker 9 Oh, it's probably a myth, but I,

Speaker 9 you know, 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.

Speaker 16 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 You know, if you keep throwing it good like you are. Yeah.
So, yeah, there's a point in time.

Speaker 3 And what about the tactical glasses?

Speaker 17 What made you start wearing those?

Speaker 78 And do you think that was a competitive advantage?

Speaker 62 I mean, you look like a badass.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 So I went to ESPN. I said, you have to adjust that light so I can see my mark.

Speaker 87 And they looked at me, no, we don't.

Speaker 9 Like, oh, okay, so forget about the bowlers and make sure you're all right. Yeah.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 And it just added to the bad boy image a little bit more. So that's why I kept wearing them.

Speaker 89 Yeah.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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,

Speaker 2 did you have to learn how to love bowling?

Speaker 9 Well, no, I've always loved bowling.

Speaker 9 Dick Weber being my dad, you know, it's kind of tough not to love bowling. My whole family loves bowling.

Speaker 9 I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 No, I'm just curious, like, if a lot of people, if their family is

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 But it sounds like you just always loved bowling from the time that you were sitting up until you grew up.

Speaker 9 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,

Speaker 9 I just thoroughly enjoyed it, you know. And growing up, it wasn't like I just bowled the whole time of my whole life.
I played baseball, soccer.

Speaker 9 I'm not big enough to play football, but basketball and things like that. And,

Speaker 9 you know, but when when bowling came on weekends, when I had baseball or tournament games and soccer or whatever, bowling came first. That was going to be my life.
So that was going to be first.

Speaker 9 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 Corey Leagues.

Speaker 23 Really?

Speaker 90 I mean, that's just the Weber hot streak, right?

Speaker 72 Have you been thrown out of a few of them?

Speaker 9 Not yet.

Speaker 23 Oh, okay.

Speaker 9 I have grandkids, and they play baseball and softball and soccer, basketball, everything.

Speaker 9 But I haven't been thrown out yet. Okay, okay.

Speaker 7 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, you know, living the fast life, the bowling fast life, and you were able to kind of clean up.

Speaker 7 You went to rehab. You got, you know,

Speaker 51 got rid of the cocaine addiction.

Speaker 55 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?

Speaker 9 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,

Speaker 9 it's not good for you. You know, you wake up going, oh, God.
When you're young, it doesn't matter when you wake up.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 9 But, you know, it just.

Speaker 9 I got over it. I started doing what I needed to do and everything's cool now.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I did read one story that you bowled what was it like a 260 after after slamming long island iced tees all day is that true yeah there might have been uh i think that might have been down in dallas texas and yeah was slammed about eight or nine long island iced tees between squads came back and averaged 260.

Speaker 73 i went from like 21st to 6th i missed the tv show by like 10 pins i mean look 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 Weber Bad Boy Allure that you had this like, I think your dad, what do you say, it was like a dark eight years and you just, you came out better for it and won a bunch of titles after.

Speaker 9 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,

Speaker 9 I came out and I did win and I did make a living at what I wanted to do. Yeah.
So I'm very happy with my career.

Speaker 54 Who's your biggest rival?

Speaker 9 Walter Ray Williams Jr.

Speaker 5 And was it heated?

Speaker 68 Was it like you guys wouldn't talk after matches and stuff?

Speaker 9 No, no, it's nothing like that.

Speaker 9 I mean, we're friends.

Speaker 9 We've 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

Speaker 9 in title matches.

Speaker 8 Oh, no.

Speaker 9 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 rival.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 26 does he still bowl?

Speaker 51 Can we maybe do a pay-per-view event?

Speaker 73 Pete Weber, final.

Speaker 16 Oh, hey, bring it on.

Speaker 69 I mean, we might have to do that.

Speaker 2 It would be amazing if we could get Chris Berman involved to do the intro for it.

Speaker 2 Because I remember I used to watch Sunday Countdown, and Chris Berman would be talking about DNFL games that were coming up, and then it would just cut off, and then the bowling would start on ESPN.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I would love to have Chris Berman.

Speaker 16 I'm sure

Speaker 9 I've watched him since this big. So, you know,

Speaker 9 I would love to have him out there.

Speaker 2 Is there a particular shot that you made over the course of your career that stands out from all the others? Like the most difficult shot,

Speaker 2 the most clutch bowl of your life?

Speaker 9 Well, that would have to be the fifth U.S. Open when I struck on the fill ball to win by a pin.

Speaker 9 It's every bowler's dream to do that. Every bowler out there.
And if they say it's not, they're lying.

Speaker 2 So can you walk us through that? Because we are admittedly bowling novices. So walk us through what happened on that one.

Speaker 9 Well, Michael Fagan ended up shooting

Speaker 9 214, I think.

Speaker 9 So if I get the first one in the 10th, I automatically win.

Speaker 9 And I threw a great shot, was running it out, ringing 10.

Speaker 9 So I got to make the spare and strike to win by a pin.

Speaker 9 Made the spare.

Speaker 9 And for some reason, you know, I was very, very calm when I threw that last shot to strike.

Speaker 9 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

Speaker 99 all hell broke loose.

Speaker 2 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?

Speaker 2 Are you thinking about other things?

Speaker 2 Do you find yourself in the zone? What goes on inside your head during a competition?

Speaker 9 Well, most of the guys that bowl on TV, they won't watch their opponents bowl.

Speaker 9 I have to watch my opponent bowl. If I try to look away,

Speaker 9 I still wind up going like, you know, out of the side of the eye or something just to see what he does.

Speaker 9 But I've always watched my opponent.

Speaker 9 You know,

Speaker 9 I never think negatively. It's always like, I already gave you a shot.
Take advantage of it. Get up there.
Let's go. Make the best shot you know how.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 I refuse to take a lot of time because I think the more I stand there and think about it,

Speaker 9 the more apt I am to going to throw a bad shot. Yeah.
Yeah. So I get up and I put my fingers in the ball, put my thumb in the ball,

Speaker 9 deep breath. As soon as that breath is out, I go.

Speaker 9 And 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.

Speaker 9 But, you know, with me, it's just the less time I take, the better off I am.

Speaker 41 Has there ever been any, in your time in bowling, professional bowling, was there ever any cheating controversies?

Speaker 78 Was there ever anyone who was trying to do something illegal that got caught?

Speaker 80 I'm just fascinated, like,

Speaker 5 what would even cheating be like?

Speaker 55 The rules, I assume, have changed over the years.

Speaker 21 Has there anyone, you know, done anything where it's like, this guy, like, what is he doing here?

Speaker 88 He's greasing his ball too much?

Speaker 23 I don't even know what it would look like.

Speaker 16 Well,

Speaker 9 it's hard to cheat in bowling.

Speaker 99 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Because you always have somebody watching. Right.
So it's very hard to cheat.

Speaker 9 There used to be to where, you know, they would put bury them in the finger holes and then cover them with wood putty.

Speaker 16 Huh.

Speaker 9 So, you know, then you got a little extra power in the bowling ball, but then the PBA came up with a metal detector.

Speaker 87 Oh, that's right.

Speaker 9 So there's no metal in the bowling ball.

Speaker 2 The opposite of a corked bat.

Speaker 16 Yeah, making it heavier.

Speaker 49 See, that's the kind of stuff that fascinates me.

Speaker 78 What people were trying to do to skirt the laws.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 9 But other than that, you know, we have a hardness rule. It's 75 degrees hardness.
Don't ask me why.

Speaker 100 What does that mean? I have no idea.

Speaker 9 I have no idea. I'm not that tall.

Speaker 16 Okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 Is that the ball or is that the lane?

Speaker 9 That's the ball.

Speaker 9 The outside of the ball, I guess, has to be 75 hardness.

Speaker 9 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, like to 74, 73.

Speaker 5 This is like deflategate.

Speaker 9 Yeah, and sometimes back when we were checking bowling balls a lot more than we do now,

Speaker 9 you were, there were some guys told, do not use that that ball. It's too soft.
Interesting. And then they used it anyway.
Wow. And got caught and got disqualified.
So

Speaker 9 it's just, it's like I said, it's really hard to cheat and bully.

Speaker 2 What about PEDs? Have there ever been any PED accusations?

Speaker 9 No. Steroids?

Speaker 2 Steroids, Adderall, maybe, for focus?

Speaker 9 Well, I'm sure there have been.

Speaker 2 Did they drug test?

Speaker 9 No.

Speaker 7 What about innovation in bowling?

Speaker 21 Has there been, in your time, someone who showed, isn't there the guy from Australia who does a weird

Speaker 9 Jason Belmonte?

Speaker 56 Yeah, he does a weird spin.

Speaker 72 So when that comes out, is everyone looking at it like, what the hell's going on here?

Speaker 3 How's this guy doing this?

Speaker 9 Yeah, kind of at first, Jeff.

Speaker 56 So what did he do exactly? Can you explain it?

Speaker 59 Well, he

Speaker 9 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

Speaker 9 more than he dries his right hand. Interesting.

Speaker 9 To make sure that the ball doesn't slip on his left hand. Right.
So when he, I got to kind of stand up. That's okay.

Speaker 16 You got to show us.

Speaker 9 So he goes to his approach, but there's kind of like a little hop in there.

Speaker 9 And he

Speaker 2 actually

Speaker 9 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,

Speaker 9 you know,

Speaker 9 when they first started seeing that,

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 And boy, I want to be like that. Well, now kids today want to be like Jason Belmonte and Oscu Palerma, Anthony Simonson, the two-handers,

Speaker 87 because

Speaker 9 of how hard their bowling ball hits the pins now. Right.
And lane conditions are really not

Speaker 9 that much of a factor for them anymore. Right.
You know, because they can always just change bowling balls.

Speaker 10 Right.

Speaker 9 And go go to either a more aggressive bowling ball or a less aggressive bowling ball. It's just a matter of what they feel.

Speaker 9 But I mean, I know there's a team in Columbia, the Columbia national team, I believe, is all two-handed.

Speaker 99 Really? They are all two-handed bowlers. Interesting.

Speaker 9 And, you know, the more I've traveled, you know, when Jason Belmonte first came out on the tour with his two hands, 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.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 Besides taking your thumb out and going to two hands.

Speaker 9 That's the only way I can think of to make you get more power on the ball.

Speaker 2 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?

Speaker 2 Are the have the lanes changed over the years?

Speaker 9 Well, we we've gone from wood lanes to astro lane 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.

Speaker 9 You don't have to resurface them as much as, say, the wood lanes,'cause the wood lanes is probably once a year you'd have to resurface them to make them even again. Yeah.

Speaker 2 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 i always say like 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.

Speaker 9 It just, you know, some houses

Speaker 9 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

Speaker 9 there are so many things that are the technical part of bowling that I stay away from yeah I am I am one of them bowlers that

Speaker 9 I throw the ball, I watch it, if I don't like what I see, then I'll change.

Speaker 100 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 48 Yeah.

Speaker 29 What about what's your favorite alley in the entire U.S.?

Speaker 9 Where they're having the U.S. Open this week, Woodland Bowl in Indianapolis.

Speaker 59 Okay, that's just like pristine, just

Speaker 9 won three major titles in there.

Speaker 9 I've won like four or five different regionals in that house. So, you know, it's kind of...

Speaker 48 That's the place. Yeah,

Speaker 41 it holds the spot in your heart.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.
What about who's the goat? Who's the best bowler of all time?

Speaker 9 That's really hard to say. You.

Speaker 22 Is it you?

Speaker 68 Are you in the conversation?

Speaker 16 Well, I can be, yeah.

Speaker 35 Well, you're my goat.

Speaker 99 But thank you.

Speaker 2 I was going to say your dad's my goat.

Speaker 9 But, you know, to me, my dad is the best ever. I agree.
But, you know, like Walter Ray has

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 57 These are just great bowling games.

Speaker 2 Norm Duke, I remember

Speaker 2 Norm Duke was all over ESPN, too, growing up.

Speaker 9 Norm's a great guy. He's one of my best friends out there.
And,

Speaker 9 you know, when I bowled him, it was on. I mean, we had matches.
We never got violent with each other, but we would always 250, 260

Speaker 9 against each other. Even if it was a low-scoring game, it was 2-0 to 2-1.

Speaker 9 It was always exciting to bowl Norm.

Speaker 2 Would you find that when you're bowling against a good opponent and he's rolling really well, that it makes you step your game up more so than if you're going against somebody that might be having an off day?

Speaker 9 Well, yeah, I mean,

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 I always wanted to beat Dad, which my record with my dad in the PBA is 29 wins, one loss.

Speaker 60 Wow.

Speaker 60 So

Speaker 56 he'll say he's better than you.

Speaker 22 Tell me about that.

Speaker 16 Absolutely.

Speaker 22 Tell me about that one loss.

Speaker 2 You let him win?

Speaker 9 No, I didn't let him win.

Speaker 9 It was actually in Japan. Okay.
I needed two strikes in the 10th frame. Got the first one.
I left an 8-10 on the second one. And

Speaker 9 I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Speaker 99 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Because I just don't leave 8-10s like that. Yeah.

Speaker 100 No, you don't.

Speaker 9 And then it wound up dad winning.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 9 So, you know, that was the one win that he shouldn't have got.

Speaker 2 Was he just in your face about it afterwards?

Speaker 2 Was he celebrating or was he very gracious that he found the game?

Speaker 9 No, no, Dad was always very gracious. He never got in anybody's face or let them know about it.
He was always very gracious.

Speaker 2 It must be nice, though, to beat your son, to get that one win against your son, though. Just remind yourself he's still got it.

Speaker 9 He probably should have two, but

Speaker 9 the one time he needed a strike,

Speaker 9 actually,

Speaker 9 he did throw the strike, and the eight pin hit the ball and stood back up on the ball.

Speaker 23 No way.

Speaker 9 Yeah, and that was in St. Louis in front of my mother.

Speaker 16 Oh, no.

Speaker 9 And it was like, oh.

Speaker 2 Did they have a review? Like, replay, instant replay and bowling? Like, that pin was down by contact.

Speaker 9 No.

Speaker 2 If it pops back up, it counts.

Speaker 99 If it pops back up, it's counts.

Speaker 33 What about uh, how many 7-10 splits have you hit?

Speaker 25 I think I've made five, and that's the hardest shot in bowling.

Speaker 16 No, it's no fuck, yeah, really? It's

Speaker 9 there's no set way to pick it, you just throw it one pin and hope it bounces out and hits the other one.

Speaker 78 That's got to be an incredible feeling, too, when you sometimes, you know.

Speaker 9 The first one I made was like, oh my god, I can't believe I did that. Yeah, you know, I mean, yeah, so and but you know, now it's like uh, I made two last year,

Speaker 9 and uh uh

Speaker 9 it was fun, you know, 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,

Speaker 9 it's always a good time. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 Tell me a little bit about uh international bowling. You met you mentioned uh Colombian people, they're their national team, they do the two-handed thing.
What other countries in the world are

Speaker 2 significant like bowling competitors?

Speaker 9 Oh, just about every country. I mean, they have the Pan Anne games over in Asia where all Asia, the U.S.
goes. There's countries all over the world that go to like the Pan Anne games.

Speaker 2 Are there different styles of bowling in different countries? Like certain teams known for more power.

Speaker 9 Well, everybody's got their own style.

Speaker 22 Yeah, because everybody has.

Speaker 2 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 the United States and be like, oh, they love to lose in the first round.

Speaker 2 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?

Speaker 9 Not that I know of.

Speaker 9 I mean, everybody's got to kind of do it the same way.

Speaker 9 I know

Speaker 9 Korea, they're very disciplined when it comes to bowling. The coach is very disciplined.

Speaker 9 He makes the bowlers do what he wants them to do.

Speaker 9 Malaysia, I guess, might be the best country because I know a girl there, Shaolin,

Speaker 9 Zukifli,

Speaker 9 who has won gold medals in these games before.

Speaker 9 She has her own posters, billboards in Malaysia. That's awesome.
When she got back from the games, she was mobbed by the press, by the public. for autographs, pictures, interview.

Speaker 9 Actually makes pretty good money for winning gold medals. You win a medal in a different country,

Speaker 9 you get paid pretty good

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 89 Yeah.

Speaker 19 So you also are a scratch golfer. Is that right?

Speaker 9 I used to be.

Speaker 63 So

Speaker 88 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.

Speaker 21 I would imagine like in your 20s, maybe it's not as cool, but you just like you've hit hole in ones, right?

Speaker 9 Like, you've yes, I have.

Speaker 40 I mean, that's incredible.

Speaker 73 I mean, scratch golfers is an insane thing to be, and you also were one of the best bowlers of all my

Speaker 80 personal opinion, the best bowler of all time.

Speaker 44 What, how, like, would you golf all the time when you weren't bowling?

Speaker 9 Well, absolutely. I was that much into it that, you know,

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 87 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Okay, I'm in. And even on the senior tour now, I mean,

Speaker 9 after we bowl like an A squad and we have the rest of the afternoon on, there might be eight, ten, twelve, sixteen of us go play golf.

Speaker 70 You're the Bo Jackson of bowling and golf.

Speaker 3 No, I think so. I think so.

Speaker 2 I was going to say, it sounds like

Speaker 2 those two sports are the best ones that you can possibly be to hustle people at. Yeah.
Where you just

Speaker 9 take a lot of similarities, too. It's good eye-hand coordination, it's it's rhythm, it's timing, it's, you know, it's the same thing.

Speaker 16 It's a different swing.

Speaker 92 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?

Speaker 73 You can't make one mistake in either of the sports.

Speaker 51 And you have to be, next shot has to be better than the last shot.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 In bowling, you don't until you actually throw the ball.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 9 So, you know, there's a lot of similarities, and it's just that I loved being on a golf course because I spent so much time inside

Speaker 9 that I loved being outside.

Speaker 88 What about on the tour?

Speaker 60 What about groupies?

Speaker 80 Are there fans like waiting in hotels and stuff?

Speaker 81 You know, just here comes Pete Weber?

Speaker 9 Well, it's never happened to me. Okay.

Speaker 16 Okay.

Speaker 9 I can't say if there, I'm probably sure there is. Yeah.

Speaker 16 Because, I mean, there's a lot of

Speaker 61 events.

Speaker 9 It's never happened to me.

Speaker 82 Okay. All right.
Hands up. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Maybe Malaysia.

Speaker 16 Yeah. Might happen.
No. No.
No. No.

Speaker 90 No Pete Weber groupies.

Speaker 2 No. There should have been.

Speaker 78 Well, I'd imagine there's a lot of just fat dudes with mustaches that you're their hero.

Speaker 16 You never know.

Speaker 23 You got that for groupies.

Speaker 16 Never know.

Speaker 9 One of my best friends in Japan, they call him my stalker. Oh.

Speaker 9 This goes back to 93.

Speaker 9 I was bowling, and every time I turned around,

Speaker 9 this

Speaker 9 man is standing there,

Speaker 9 smiling at me.

Speaker 16 I was like, oh, God.

Speaker 9 You know, what'd 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.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 In fact,

Speaker 9 Storm High Sports over in

Speaker 9 Japan

Speaker 9 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 at the hotel, drives me to my appearances the next day.

Speaker 9 So

Speaker 9 everybody over there knows who he is. All my bowling friends knows who he is.
So he's very welcome with everybody.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Stalking pays off.

Speaker 26 Yeah. Right.

Speaker 16 Yeah, that's it. Dream kids.

Speaker 76 So where are you at now with bowling?

Speaker 95 So you're you're officially retired from the PBA, right?

Speaker 9 No, I'm officially retired from the regular tour. Okay.
I still am a PBA member. I still bowl full-time on the PBA senior tour.
I do bowl some of the,

Speaker 9 like if I would have got invited to the U.S. Open, like I should have been,

Speaker 9 I would have bowled the U.S. Open.

Speaker 23 Why didn't they invite you?

Speaker 9 I have no idea.

Speaker 92 We got it. I mean, I'm going to make a stink out of this for you.

Speaker 2 Who's in charge of passing out the invites?

Speaker 9 That I don't know either.

Speaker 89 We'll get to the bottom.

Speaker 2 Is it the PBA?

Speaker 9 No, the PBA has nothing to do with it. This is totally the United States Bowling Congress.

Speaker 56 So I think there's someone who's like Pete Weber's topic.

Speaker 59 Oh, I know there is. I know there's a couple.

Speaker 16 Oh, they're like.

Speaker 99 But you don't like me.

Speaker 96 He's just a bad person.

Speaker 9 I'm not bad for them either, and I don't really care if they know or not.

Speaker 2 I love this. I don't like them either.

Speaker 4 I like the fire.

Speaker 23 I hate them.

Speaker 59 Listen, I hate their guts.

Speaker 9 Well, you know,

Speaker 9 a five-time open

Speaker 9 champion,

Speaker 9 43 years a PBA member, PBA USBC Hall of Famer.

Speaker 9 Family grew up in Indianapolis.

Speaker 9 three major titles, including a U.S. Open at Woodland Bowl, and I don't get an invite.
It's disgusting. I think that's just an insult.
It is.

Speaker 2 It's like when Major League Eating banned Kobayashi from competing in the hot dog contest.

Speaker 2 You're synonymous with bowling in America and you don't get invited.

Speaker 23 That's bullshit. They made some powerful.

Speaker 9 That's the 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 36 people per squad.

Speaker 75 That's a slap in your face.

Speaker 9 Well, and then,

Speaker 9 you know, not to say anything against Mookie Betts, who I have bowled with, and I respect, and I have the greatest, utmost respect for him.

Speaker 9 But he gets put into the tournament without having to qualify for it. Junior bowlers from junior team USA are automatically seated in the tournament.
Don't have to bowl the PTQ.

Speaker 9 That's a bigger slap in my face. Yeah.

Speaker 48 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I mean, I understand from their perspective why maybe Mookie Betts, he's going to draw some eyes.

Speaker 45 But so is Pete Weber. But that's the thing.

Speaker 2 It's like Pete Weber is bowling. Pete Weber.
If you want people to pay attention to your tournament, you will invite him.

Speaker 9 Whether they don't like me or not, I still draw people in.

Speaker 23 You do. That's a fact.

Speaker 9 And I still draw people for Pearl Lambs.

Speaker 2 Have you competed in that tournament in the past?

Speaker 9 Well, this is the first year that I haven't.

Speaker 2 We got to get to the bottom of this.

Speaker 41 This is now my new crusade.

Speaker 2 I'm on the warpath.

Speaker 78 I'm happy that this happened today because now I have something to wake up in the morning.

Speaker 9 I asked about it. They said, based on my criteria.

Speaker 75 What the fuck does that mean? What

Speaker 2 criteria being?

Speaker 9 I don't know what that means, but I would have to bowl the PTQ

Speaker 9 or ask for an exemption.

Speaker 9 So that, to me, is a double insult.

Speaker 99 Yeah.

Speaker 9 That I have to ask for an exemption into a tournament that I've won five times.

Speaker 44 I'm grudging hard for you.

Speaker 9 I know the commissioner is grudging hard too

Speaker 29 against you no oh for you okay so he's on our side so we got to find the other people all right we're on this United States bowling Congress we're gonna fight for you this is like saying like Tiger Woods can't play in the Masters like what what are we doing here well

Speaker 9 they invite him it's his choice not to bowl right or not to put off yeah yeah because of injuries or what have you right his choice right but at least he's always an option yes yes former champions always get the invite that should that should be how it always is that's what i feel too so are you so how are you so are you bowling in like regular leagues as well because that would be fun do you like yeah i do i bowl on monday nights with uh

Speaker 9 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

Speaker 65 i love it i love it that's that's great

Speaker 9 they all know how to bowl yeah and they all you know 190 to 210 that's average so that you know they're respectable but come on but we have fun. You know,

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 9 And it's actually a really fun league to bowl in. That's awesome.
You know,

Speaker 9 when it comes down to the 10th frame and I need to strike, yeah, I try.

Speaker 59 Yeah. But

Speaker 9 the frames before,

Speaker 9 I just put my hand in the ball and go. Yeah.

Speaker 89 You know,

Speaker 9 I'm just there to have fun. Right.
Yeah. and then I bowl a little more competitive league on Wednesday nights

Speaker 9 to where it pays a lot better you're paying more for your for your league but it pays better and you know it's just more competitive so I kind of you dominate that too no oh no interesting oh no really there's some good bowlers that are oh yeah

Speaker 99 well

Speaker 9 house bowlers yeah 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.

Speaker 9 My first two nights of the Wednesday night league, I had like $5.95 and $5.98

Speaker 9 for my three games of the league. Yeah.
And then I started bringing some other stuff in, and

Speaker 9 I was actually getting 25 pins a handicap.

Speaker 16 Oh, so that was kind of neat.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 2 Yeah, have you ever

Speaker 2 shown up to a bowling alley and just absolutely hustled somebody that doesn't know who you are?

Speaker 2 No, no one's ever does that happen at bowling alleys like it happens sometimes

Speaker 2 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?

Speaker 16 Well,

Speaker 9 you know,

Speaker 9 I've had people ask me to bowl for $10,000 a game.

Speaker 9 But it's to me, that's like

Speaker 9 I've got nothing to prove.

Speaker 9 And if they beat me, then they're a legend killer.

Speaker 60 True.

Speaker 9 So it's kind of a no-win situation for me.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Guys used to come in to my dad's bowling center at home when I was like 13, 14.

Speaker 9 And they say, hey, anybody bowl action?

Speaker 9 Dad would always, well, what do you want to bowl for?

Speaker 9 Well, we're not bowling you. He said, No, you ain't gonna bowl me.
But how much you want to bowl for? And they'd say 25.

Speaker 9 He says, All right, see that kid down there, which was me. See that kid down there? He'll bow you.

Speaker 9 And if he, you, if he wins, you have to buy, pay me and buy him a soda.

Speaker 16 Oh, hell yes.

Speaker 9 Well, they always wound up paying dad, always wound up buying me sodas.

Speaker 23 That's awesome.

Speaker 49 Oh, man. All right, so I have one last question.

Speaker 88 This has been just so much fun.

Speaker 102 We drove 1,700 miles of old Highway 61, the whole country top to bottom, just to prove one thing.

Speaker 48 Comfort food can make anywhere home.

Speaker 36 Crave New World makes the classics you grew up with, cleaned up for right now.

Speaker 102 High protein, no fake stuff, no shortcuts. Bison meatloaf, chicken enchiladas, turkey lasagna, the kind of meals that taste like Saturday night, even on a Tuesday.

Speaker 36 Crave New World. Founded in Kroger Isles this October.
The road trip might be over, but dinner's just getting good.

Speaker 78 I just want you to say it again.

Speaker 3 I want you to say the quote again.

Speaker 92 That's really not a question.

Speaker 38 It's just, it's so iconic.

Speaker 9 You want the quote again? Yeah, yeah. Who do you think you are?

Speaker 9 I am.

Speaker 9 Yes. And don't forget it.

Speaker 54 I mean, it's just the best.

Speaker 82 Every time I watch that clip,

Speaker 59 I get a smile on my face.

Speaker 9 I do these things. I don't know if you heard of them.
They're called cameos. Yes.
Cameos. Well, I do them.

Speaker 9 And just about everyone I do is.

Speaker 9 Can you do your quote, please?

Speaker 16 Yes. It's like.

Speaker 9 God, and I have no problem doing it.

Speaker 40 And I love your other quote.

Speaker 39 I think you said maybe a few years ago where you're like, love me or hate me, you still watched.

Speaker 99 And that's just. You're not hit me, you're going to watch just to see what I do.

Speaker 44 That's the best.

Speaker 80 That's the true mark of a bad boy when it's like, you might despise me, but you ain't turning the channel.

Speaker 87 Yeah.

Speaker 9 How many people do you know that are going to change a channel just because they don't like somebody, but they want to see what they're going to do? Yeah. Plenty.
Yes.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Has he ever reached out to you or have you ever met him?

Speaker 77 No.

Speaker 2 I imagine you guys would have a lot to talk to. No, because he is the Pete Weber of tennis.

Speaker 16 Oh, well, yeah.

Speaker 9 No, I've never met him. I played golf on a celebrity golf tour for a little while, you know, and I got to meet some pretty neat people.
Dwight Clark. Nice.
You know, Alfonso Ribeiro.

Speaker 22 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 9 Johnny Bench. You know, I've met some pretty neat people.

Speaker 9 But Sunday had to be the best

Speaker 9 after Kansas City

Speaker 9 won the game. First thing Patrick Mahomes did was

Speaker 9 put a picture of me up in my quote. Yes.
In his tweet.

Speaker 89 Yes. That was interesting.

Speaker 9 That was one of the biggest honors I've ever had. That is.
For him to do that.

Speaker 4 It was a bad job by us.

Speaker 40 We should have brought it up right away.

Speaker 62 That was.

Speaker 9 And we've reached out to him to see if maybe we can meet or something.

Speaker 2 Maybe both sometime.

Speaker 99 Hell yeah. Yeah, maybe bowl sometimes.

Speaker 16 Are you a Chiefs fan?

Speaker 9 Oh, you're it's Missouri.

Speaker 16 Come on. Yeah, okay, so you're from St.

Speaker 59 Louis.

Speaker 9 Yeah, so you are I used to be a Rams fan until they left.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 9 And then as soon as they left, I became a Kansas City fan.

Speaker 72 Pretty good run you guys have had right now.

Speaker 2 I'd say you upgraded a little bit. You went from rooting for Chris Long to rooting for Patrick Mahomes.
Yeah.

Speaker 16 Good job. That's an upgrade.
Major upgrade. That's a big upgrade.
Yeah, big, huge upgrade. Huge.

Speaker 16 All right.

Speaker 21 Well, Pete, this has been so much fun.

Speaker 70 And now we're going going to go watch some bowling, and hopefully you're going to bowl a little.

Speaker 9 Very well. Could be.

Speaker 66 Okay, okay.

Speaker 67 All right.

Speaker 9 Maybe throw a shot or two for you guys.

Speaker 2 Oh, that'd be awesome. Yeah, that would be.

Speaker 9 And by the way, what's this hot dog eating thing?

Speaker 16 Oh, you want a hot dog? Yeah.

Speaker 25 We have a lot of hot dogs.

Speaker 9 I could probably use it.

Speaker 23 Yeah, there we go.

Speaker 9 You get 10 pins added onto your score?

Speaker 19 No, you get subtract from your score if you eat every hot dog.

Speaker 2 Well, it's kind of

Speaker 9 300 to 290 to 290. Now now you only have to the one guy i heard's eating like 14 hot dogs so he's down to 160

Speaker 69 and he still can't get out of here uh yeah so we yeah

Speaker 27 we need your help we need your magic yes that's not good but uh thank you so much pete you are a legend and we appreciate it oh thank you guys it's been a pleasure for me too yeah excellent

Speaker 101 That's the sound of extremely processed dog food, which is the norm at most pet food companies. But at the farmer's dog, we do things differently.

Speaker 101 We gently cook our food without ultra processing it's developed by our team of board certified nutritionists made to human-grade safety standards and portioned for your dog then delivered right to your door how does that sound to you get 50 off your first box available only at thefarmersdog.com oh jake's going to the bathroom right when we start talking about bowling he's good he waved up just p just pee just pee number one we're about to start about bowling he might not actually

Speaker 5 So what should we say about Jake while he's out?

Speaker 20 So the bowling, the bowling challenge, we did it today.

Speaker 45 Shout out everyone who watched.

Speaker 20 It was incredible. We had like 28,000 people watching all at once concurrently.

Speaker 5 A lot of people said it was a great way to pass the time during the day.

Speaker 66 We were in the alley for eight hours.

Speaker 39 I actually thought it was like...

Speaker 7 Pretty, you know, fun and interesting.

Speaker 20 There was a moment last night before

Speaker 31 we started where I was like, ooh, is this going to be good?

Speaker 2 I thought it was pretty funny. It was very funny.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 I thought it was great.

Speaker 2 The bonus dogs, the lightning rounds.

Speaker 5 Oh, Billy's too.

Speaker 18 So if you haven't watched it, you can go back and watch it.

Speaker 8 There will also be a PM TV recapping everything

Speaker 23 on Thursday night.

Speaker 5 We did some fun wrinkles.

Speaker 68 We had a bonus round where Max and

Speaker 4 Jake ate hot dogs without using their hands.

Speaker 21 No buns.

Speaker 1 Billy said that he wasn't going to do it.

Speaker 83 I didn't want to use Mickey Mouse win.

Speaker 64 I didn't want to make Monday hands.

Speaker 16 Oh, yes. Oh, okay.
I'm talking about it.

Speaker 23 You brought that up, Billy.

Speaker 22 Let's talk about it.

Speaker 46 I don't want to make it win.

Speaker 2 So you won all on your own today?

Speaker 83 With the stipulations put ahead of us.

Speaker 16 Like, oh, okay.

Speaker 46 Like, eating a hot dog without Mickey Mouse wins.

Speaker 87 Yeah.

Speaker 56 You used Pete Weber.

Speaker 83 Which was a stipulation that was brought up.

Speaker 84 And Max is a man, and Max, that was an all-time alpha move to be like, no, Pete Weber.

Speaker 6 How many hot dogs did you end up eating Max?

Speaker 8 I had 17 hot dogs.

Speaker 23 Oh, my God.

Speaker 14 How did you have 17 hot dogs?

Speaker 13 Because I lost

Speaker 16 Jake.

Speaker 48 And he's a man.

Speaker 85 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.

Speaker 68 It was great.

Speaker 2 And now hang on a second here, big cat. Billy, what was your winning score that you rolled?

Speaker 36 The one that I won? Yeah.

Speaker 83 A 136.

Speaker 2 And how many hot dogs did you eat?

Speaker 83 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.

Speaker 2 But you ate 17 hot dogs. Yes.
Jake, how many did you have?

Speaker 74 I had 19 on my own.

Speaker 23 Oh, okay.

Speaker 61 I will say five were without the bun.

Speaker 2 No, 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.

Speaker 5 I ate three for him, remember?

Speaker 83 Remember we got three in the beginning? Yeah.

Speaker 22 I didn't eat three for him.

Speaker 66 But even though 19 is on on my own.

Speaker 100 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 16 That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 22 So

Speaker 2 Jake ate more hot dogs than you and bowled and hit more pins down than you did.

Speaker 5 And didn't use Pete Weber.

Speaker 2 Is that true? I'm just questioning.

Speaker 46 I don't know. I look.

Speaker 62 I haven't counted numbers.

Speaker 83 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.

Speaker 2 I won the system. I beat the system.

Speaker 23 I don't care. Okay.

Speaker 83 I did my time, got in, got out.

Speaker 16 Billy. Beat the system.

Speaker 22 That's a win.

Speaker 44 It was very fun to watch.

Speaker 5 Max, I want to hear your thoughts.

Speaker 17 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.

Speaker 32 Max, how are you feeling?

Speaker 23 I'm in a world of pain right now.

Speaker 48 Max still hasn't gone to the bathroom.

Speaker 77 I was worried about that.

Speaker 8 I'm worried.

Speaker 8 I haven't taken a shit yet.

Speaker 16 It's crazy. I don't know.

Speaker 8 I have, like, it is starting to hit me during this recording. I have like started the fart.
I don't know.

Speaker 16 I'll sell them because they've been very bad.

Speaker 74 Like,

Speaker 8 I was doing all right at the end of it.

Speaker 8 I even was about to eat an additional hot dog for Jake, but right now, like,

Speaker 8 it's all starting to hit.

Speaker 16 And how many did you eat again?

Speaker 67 17.

Speaker 69 And you were eating a lot with condiments, like onions.

Speaker 48 Well, sometimes,

Speaker 83 okay, well, the sauerkraut was essential.

Speaker 22 Well, the probiotic.

Speaker 8 We were doing dirty water dogs. And, like, if you know, like, like,

Speaker 8 they can get, the smell of the dirty water dog can get to you after a while. Like,

Speaker 8 and you just taste,

Speaker 8 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 mustard.

Speaker 8 I needed the mustard to kind of, I needed to taste something else other than the dirty water dog.

Speaker 23 I get it.

Speaker 12 It was making me really sick.

Speaker 14 I get that.

Speaker 2 Now, how are you feeling 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.

Speaker 2 You've got one speed.

Speaker 12 And you were, you were describe the sound you make after you let go of the ball.

Speaker 17 Oh, oh, Max had Max, Max's facial, he was crying at one point, like literally crying.

Speaker 27 Uh, the facial expressions, the grunts, there's a great moment.

Speaker 2 He let go, he goes, Yeah, yeah, there's a great moment. Was that your thumb popping out of the bowl?

Speaker 89 No, it was at your mouth.

Speaker 23 He was making the sound. I was,

Speaker 8 I, this is, this is the first I'm hearing of this sound. I don't know.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 12 Oh, I made sure to take the camera and get videos.

Speaker 22 I was like, what is this?

Speaker 14 What is going on?

Speaker 28 Would you like to say anything about the tears?

Speaker 8 The tears weren't.

Speaker 13 They weren't real tears. That's the thing.

Speaker 14 No, no.

Speaker 59 30 water tears.

Speaker 8 I've just been going through stages of being really bad with the hot dogs and

Speaker 8 not having any issues at all. Because we did.
The first thing I did was just eat five hot dogs as fast as I could.

Speaker 8 And I don't think that was a good idea because it was 10 o'clock in the the morning and five hot dogs as soon as you wake up, or not as soon as you wake up, but five hot dogs before 11 a.m.

Speaker 8 is probably not great for your stomach. So when we were doing, when we were doing the lightning round, I thought for sure I was going to puke.

Speaker 5 The lightning round was so fucking funny.

Speaker 28 You guys just not using your hands trying to slurp up raw dogs.

Speaker 25 God damn it. It saved me.
Yeah.

Speaker 54 It was a great lightning round.

Speaker 2 I've got the sound effect here from Max.

Speaker 2 I don't know if this is your thumb or your mouth or what it is.

Speaker 16 God, stuck in the thumb.

Speaker 87 Well, that one.

Speaker 8 That one actually was

Speaker 10 from my thumb.

Speaker 46 That was your thumb popping?

Speaker 8 Yeah, that was my.

Speaker 87 Because you can hear it because

Speaker 8 that, I think that was like in an A.

Speaker 23 Actually,

Speaker 8 everyone felt integral.

Speaker 60 Every throw felt integral in whatever.

Speaker 8 Yeah, yeah. And that one, it did get stuck in my thumb, thumb, and it was a straight gutter.
And

Speaker 16 I don't know.

Speaker 67 It hurt, yeah.

Speaker 53 And now, Jake, you ended up with a 188 was your high score to get yourself out of it.

Speaker 46 You bowled the longest.

Speaker 5 How are you feeling?

Speaker 81 You also had, there's multiple times where you Lamar Jackson did, where you just, you, you were like mid-bowl.

Speaker 48 You're like, gotta go.

Speaker 34 And you just grabbed the wipes and ran to the bathroom.

Speaker 12 Also, can you explain to the people what you came prepared with to the bowling game?

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 61 My whole list.

Speaker 2 I tweeted it out. What Jake's also doing this podcast with a heating pad.

Speaker 16 Yeah, it's designed. Yeah,

Speaker 5 he looks like a pitcher who's ready to go back in for a couple more innings.

Speaker 48 He's mid-innings.

Speaker 2 You look like Ben Rothlessberger on a practice field right now.

Speaker 61 Bowling, personal bowling ball. Shout out to Bolero for providing each of those.

Speaker 25 Yeah, shout out to Bolero for the whole thing.

Speaker 16 Yeah, they're a great host.

Speaker 10 Awesome. This is awesome.

Speaker 61 I'll definitely be going back there and using a couple of hours.

Speaker 12 Other food there besides hot dogs were good, but other food was fantastic.

Speaker 2 Yeah, their food and beverage director is awesome.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 61 Barstow Bowl through February, 15% off your reservation.

Speaker 26 Love it. Yeah.

Speaker 60 Bowling ball.

Speaker 61 The wrist guard was great because my wrist does not hurt at all.

Speaker 23 There you go.

Speaker 61 So I'll take that.

Speaker 61 The Rosin bag helped too. Yep.

Speaker 61 It's supposed to stick inside the holes.

Speaker 90 Nice.

Speaker 61 Yeah, it never slipped out.

Speaker 23 Okay, nice.

Speaker 61 The bowling towel, I didn't really get it.

Speaker 46 Never slipped out?

Speaker 23 Never once.

Speaker 64 Not even like.

Speaker 44 Get him on the bonk list.

Speaker 16 No.

Speaker 22 No, he stuck it inside the hole and it never slipped out.

Speaker 2 Never slipped out. Not even when you were like changing up your position on the lane.

Speaker 60 Never slipped out.

Speaker 61 Water, I drank. I drank.

Speaker 40 Did it ever.

Speaker 29 Did you ever come close to slipping out and you're like, oh, did I just break it?

Speaker 48 No. But you put it back in.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Like immediately.

Speaker 61 I probably drank like nine or ten bottles of water.

Speaker 16 Okay. Nice.
Yeah.

Speaker 61 Ice pack, heating pad, part of my cheesesteak jumpsuit.

Speaker 61 Change of clothes that I did not need.

Speaker 18 Again,

Speaker 82 what were those for?

Speaker 2 an accident yeah he was thinking he was gonna shit himself and he you and my son are the exact

Speaker 61 people here if i sweat too much okay got it yeah got it uh bio freeze chopped a lot got on both shoulders yeah why were you putting the bio freeze 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 got it okay

Speaker 61 so uh And then wipes. Wipes were handy.

Speaker 16 Dude, wipes. And Listerine.

Speaker 61 Yes, mouth wash up a lot. Max used that too because it changes your palate.
You feel like a fresh start. Yeah.
It tastes like hot dogs.

Speaker 74 The mouthwash is great.

Speaker 60 Because what I was saying about the, I couldn't get that dirty water taste out of my mouth and the mouthwash out.

Speaker 61 You guys just have a minty taste, and it was a good mental reset.

Speaker 86 But yeah, crazy.

Speaker 2 What did you bring the wipes for?

Speaker 16 Bathroom. Oh, okay.
They had toilet paper there. Yeah.

Speaker 20 The whole thing was fantastic.

Speaker 5 I was proud of you, Jake.

Speaker 20 Proud of you, Max, Billy, Mickey Mouse, but whatever. That's fine.

Speaker 83 No, I'm honestly not ashamed of what I did 100%.

Speaker 47 Good. It was Mickey Mouse as fuck.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 59 And you didn't.

Speaker 43 And you're too straight to eat hot dogs without a button.

Speaker 83 You beat the system. You guys wanted to watch other grown men do that.

Speaker 23 Yeah, it was just fucking hilarious.

Speaker 32 And the comments loved it.

Speaker 48 Billy's like, hey, yo.

Speaker 23 Hey. Pause.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 54 You eating a dog. You drinking with a straw over there?

Speaker 87 That's sus.

Speaker 12 Also, like, at one point, to, I came and came back.

Speaker 2 You put your fingers into balls over there and Billy, we were like,

Speaker 12 we have all the Corsalites. If you drink Corsait, it's a pinoff.
And he was like, no, I'm only doing it if it's five pins or ten pins per beer.

Speaker 12 And then I came back 30 minutes later and he was just drinking a beer.

Speaker 16 He was like, all right, I'll fine.

Speaker 12 I'll do some beers.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, I think that was a good call.

Speaker 47 Loosened up a little bit.

Speaker 83 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 Corslite.

Speaker 22 Yeah, and it worked.

Speaker 2 There was a moment where we saw Billy 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.

Speaker 2 And then he starts to turn on us, and he just starts to get annoyed at everything. And we saw it coming, and the ice-cold Coors Light chilled you out.

Speaker 12 Yeah, there's also some like happy, like, get into your hole, like when the pins just weren't going down.

Speaker 65 Yeah.

Speaker 22 Oh, no, Billy.

Speaker 25 That's supposed to go down.

Speaker 65 I loved Billy.

Speaker 85 Like, the way he bowls.

Speaker 5 He just rolls it as hard as he can every time.

Speaker 65 He's like,

Speaker 65 why aren't they going down?

Speaker 16 Angry.

Speaker 61 Yeah, I understand some people were mad that we were punting games, but it was the right strategy.

Speaker 16 Yeah, I mean, you had to just pull for eight hours.

Speaker 5 Because, Jake, before we did this,

Speaker 2 you were breaking it down logically. And you were thinking to yourself, this might not even be possible to do in one day.

Speaker 74 Right.

Speaker 61 No, if it wasn't a one-day thing, like, I was going to punt the whole first day.

Speaker 23 Oh, my God. That would have been bad.

Speaker 65 I would have hated that.

Speaker 69 I would have been very upset at you.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 74 Very upset.

Speaker 61 Because originally, right, we had the idea of doing this for as long as possible.

Speaker 12 but eight hours felt like yeah it felt like the perfect time and now we were yeah and i didn't think jake was gonna finish yeah there was a that was probably like 4 30 i was like oh man like and i and it being in yours 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 till eight yeah it all worked out but you you that 188 was was a fantastic i will say bowling a turkey The feeling of that is the equivalent of hitting like a 50-foot putt.

Speaker 96 Yeah, no, you finished with four straight.

Speaker 17 You finished with four straight strikes.

Speaker 5 It was electric.

Speaker 49 And yeah, the hot dogs worked out perfectly.

Speaker 81 Next year, I think we're going to do you got to hit a hole in one.

Speaker 74 Oh, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 2 I don't know about that.

Speaker 80 That would be so funny.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 80 If we just say, if we just had a fucking course and like a nice little I actually don't think that would take that long either.

Speaker 23 Oh, it would take forever.

Speaker 2 Some of us don't even golf.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 97 It would take like a 180-yard hole.

Speaker 16 It would take so long.

Speaker 22 Can you keep every ball?

Speaker 57 Well, not 180 yards. Like, it would be like a pitching putt.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it would probably be like 100 yards.

Speaker 61 Can you keep balls on the screen where another ball can knock it in?

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 I think yes.

Speaker 22 I mean, we have ourselves into this.

Speaker 2 We have a year to figure this out.

Speaker 19 But that was thrown around.

Speaker 67 I think that would be fun.

Speaker 12 If T's going to buy me $400

Speaker 12 worth of Arizona-themed swag

Speaker 12 from a bet we made, a one-on-one match we had.

Speaker 2 We did, yeah. I mean, I do have a ruptured UCL, much like Brock Purdy.
So, congratulations. You beat me, I guess.

Speaker 46 Handicapped guy. Good job.

Speaker 83 The other other idea of flying to this next Super Bowl eastward

Speaker 83 with at least three connecting flights, that sounds pretty sensitive.

Speaker 2 What about having to take nothing but Uber pools or like shared lifts for a month?

Speaker 38 Or just to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 Oh, Uber pooling to the Super Bowl?

Speaker 61 That's a big honor system, PFT.

Speaker 16 Oh, man.

Speaker 2 No, because we're not. No, because you can check your history.

Speaker 61 Yeah. People could lift.
People could cab.

Speaker 2 You can check the history, though.

Speaker 34 You have to match it all up.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 22 All your.

Speaker 2 Jake, are you saying that you would cheat?

Speaker 12 Never.

Speaker 61 I'm saying it seems like an easy loophole if you wanted to.

Speaker 2 I mean, I'm not a cheater. I would not do it.

Speaker 83 Isn't there like a wheels up pool thing where you can like share a private flight with other people?

Speaker 2 Sounds like broke boy behavior to me.

Speaker 61 Oh, next year's in Vegas.

Speaker 61 The theme something there. Yeah.

Speaker 5 All right. So, yeah.

Speaker 49 Job well done, boys.

Speaker 55 It was a lot of fun.

Speaker 67 I had a lot of fun.

Speaker 61 Hopefully, not too sore.

Speaker 23 I don't.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 23 I don't care.

Speaker 16 I know. Yeah.

Speaker 72 I mean, I hope you're, I guess I hope you're not.

Speaker 2 No, I don't really care.

Speaker 18 Yeah, I don't really care.

Speaker 16 If you're in sexist-based right now, it's just

Speaker 100 really going through it.

Speaker 1 You just started burping.

Speaker 2 If you're sore, that's like, okay, cool.

Speaker 66 I hope you're a little bit sore.

Speaker 61 I think Wednesday, Thursday will be. I think by Friday, I should be 100%.

Speaker 54 Let's just put it this way.

Speaker 18 If you are sore, don't need to tell us.

Speaker 10 You won't. Okay.

Speaker 23 Just basically,

Speaker 2 don't go bowling for the next like three days and you'll be fine.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 83 Trustry,

Speaker 83 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 because I'm like hungry again.

Speaker 83 And

Speaker 83 yeah, I would 100% go eat one of those chili dogs with the sauerkraut again. Just in the red onion, it was so good.

Speaker 12 Yeah, the food there was fantastic.

Speaker 12 And watching Pete Weber bowl in person was just as majestic as you would think.

Speaker 33 He just stepped up first one strike.

Speaker 14 Just felt awesome.

Speaker 16 Super smooth.

Speaker 50 Okay.
