Speaker 28 and then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 28 Oh, we're gonna rock down to Elite Trick IV.

Speaker 13 It's part of my take present about Barstool Sports.

Speaker 14 Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by crosscountrymortgage.com slash barstool.

Speaker 15 Check them out today. Today is Wednesday, July 20th, and baseball is back.

Speaker 28 It was a great all-star game.

Speaker 4 Yeah, no, no, it was, it's back.

Speaker 34 I already saw Sour Puss Hank.

Speaker 35 Baseball's back.

Speaker 36 Baseball's back.

Speaker 28 It was a great all-star game.

Speaker 32 It is.

Speaker 4 It was, well, I wish the over had hit, but it was baseball was fun.

Speaker 34 Big Poppy was chaotic in the dugout.

Speaker 25 The mic-up catcher-pitcher thing was fucking cool.

Speaker 32 The mic'd-up players were awesome.

Speaker 20 Like, good job.

Speaker 41 I like the uniforms.

Speaker 42 I have some old man takes coming.

Speaker 4 But for right now, I just want to say, and the

Speaker 18 allure of the fact that if the NL had tied it in the ninth, we would have had a home run derby.

Speaker 42 I'm saying baseball's back.

Speaker 28 I wanted the home run derby thing, and it seems like a rule that they came up with at the last minute because they only literally announced it yesterday.

Speaker 28 If there's a tie in the ninth inning, it's going to go to an extra home run derby with, I think, three players from each team. Yep.
And we were all rooting for that. I was definitely rooting for that.

Speaker 28 I was disappointed when it didn't happen. But I also think that with the All-Star game, there's like a sense of romanticism that goes along with it where

Speaker 28 you always remember the All-Star games when you were a kid. It doesn't matter how old you are.
I feel like the All-Star game is meant mostly for kids watching the game.

Speaker 23 Well, do you know what it is, too?

Speaker 39 I think it is a clear, like the summer kind of just blurs into one, like, you know, every day's hot, you're getting drunk, playing golf, whatever you might be doing, beach.

Speaker 44 July 4th and the All-Star game are the two tent polls where you're like, oh, yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 47 Yeah, it

Speaker 47 brings back bunting.

Speaker 28 You know, the bunting, the stuff that they put around on the fences, the like semicircle red, white, and blue.

Speaker 18 Opening day in October.

Speaker 28 Baseball fucking owns the bunting industry.

Speaker 36 It's great.

Speaker 28 He's fantastic.

Speaker 52 And there's one guy who's been making those, and he's just like, baseball, thank God for baseball.

Speaker 28 That's his number one client like they will always do this yeah it's like that and like waspy weddings in like nantucket yeah and like the uh the hamptons and and like uh outside of like delaware or uh dc yeah it's very festive yeah but you get you get some days where it's like you get bunting everywhere and occasionally you have those straw hats that like uh that would have the brim all the way around it the flat brim all the way around maybe a guy with a kazoo yeah that's what i'm talking about that's a mericanum that is i think we can all appreciate that but i that you go through a natural life cycle with the all-star game where when you're a kid, it's the most magical day of the summer.

Speaker 28 You love it. It's all your favorite players playing.
And then you get older and you're in your 20s and you're like, oh, the all-star game sucks now.

Speaker 28 It doesn't matter how old you are when the, or it doesn't matter which all-star game we're talking about. It could be like 2010, it could be 2000, 1990.

Speaker 28 If you're 25 watching the all-star game, you think it sucks. But then you get a little bit older and then you're like, you know what? This is kind of fun.

Speaker 28 They were enjoying themselves at that. I didn't even mind the uniforms.
I liked the uniforms and the hats that they were wearing.

Speaker 28 It was kind of cool. Like you said, the Mike Dupp thing was awesome.

Speaker 15 One of my first all-star game memories that's just flashed back to me was when I was like maybe like seven or eight.

Speaker 34 My cousin, who was way older than me, his friend, I bet him, I think I took the NL, he took the AL, 20 bucks, and then he convinced me that the all-star game was pre-taped, and I paid it.

Speaker 57 And then my dad, like, I paid it out of like my piggy bank, and my dad was like, are you a fucking idiot?

Speaker 58 Yeah, you're like, it's not pre-taped.

Speaker 15 Go get your money back.

Speaker 28 You're a moron. Yeah.
Sports on Twitter. But it was great.

Speaker 60 Yeah, Yeah, that's America.

Speaker 24 But I was dumb.

Speaker 61 I was seven.

Speaker 46 I was an idiot. And that was, you know, I'm a loser.

Speaker 58 So I was like, yeah, of course.

Speaker 47 It was pre-taped and I lost. Yeah, but based on.

Speaker 57 I believe that every, you could tell me any game is pre-taped and I lost.

Speaker 18 I'd be like, yep, you're right.

Speaker 28 I lost. Baseball is back.
Tonight was fun. It was a fun night.
The home run derby was fun. The rules kind of got in the way.
I have some issues with the home run derby.

Speaker 42 Well, I have some old man takes, if I may, real quick.

Speaker 30 But if you want to go first, no, go off.

Speaker 51 Go off. We'll get to the home run derby.

Speaker 62 All right.

Speaker 63 Well, there's one of them is the home run derby, derby, but I have some old man takes.

Speaker 42 Old man take number one is the jerseys.

Speaker 15 I do think it's bullshit.

Speaker 57 They should wear their own jerseys in the all-star game.

Speaker 15 I don't like these, like, everyone's wearing the same color. The cool part of it is, like,

Speaker 15 one side wears all road and one side wears all home.

Speaker 51 That's cool.

Speaker 42 You get to see all of the jerseys on the field at once and all of the hats.

Speaker 4 I don't like the way that they did it this year.

Speaker 28 I didn't mind it. I thought the jerseys.

Speaker 47 I thought they looked good. It's an old man take.

Speaker 28 I thought they looked good enough where it wasn't. it felt like it was an all-star game.

Speaker 28 It felt like the jerseys were like unique and special enough where I was like, oh, this is different than a normal game.

Speaker 47 I know what you're saying.

Speaker 63 Yeah, there's something about like, oh, yeah, the shortstop and the third baseman are wearing different jerseys.

Speaker 2 That's cool.

Speaker 40 Like, I don't know. There's just something about it.
I like it.

Speaker 15 I like when the jerseys are different and the hats are different.

Speaker 56 It's just, it's fun.

Speaker 67 The gloves were different.

Speaker 38 The gloves were different.

Speaker 42 My other, my second take is, um,

Speaker 40 now this one's going to get hated on,

Speaker 1 but I kind of sort of wish the all-star games still decided home field advantage in the World Series.

Speaker 28 That admit more?

Speaker 36 I agree.

Speaker 22 It was one of those rules that was objectively unfair.

Speaker 34 Because one team could win 115 games and they get fucked, but it still was kind of fun.

Speaker 28 Well, it was created in the aftermath of Bud Selig calling a tie.

Speaker 55 Tie, right, in like the 14th inning.

Speaker 28 And then the next year, they're like, that was such a colossal dumpster fire.

Speaker 28 We have to overreact to it and try to fix a problem that maybe didn't really exist.

Speaker 4 It was fun and i say that it was also it would just suck if you're a national league fan i i i recognize it also i'm saying this because the cubs suck so it's like if the cubs were really good i'd be like no fucking way i don't want this meaningless game in the middle of july to decide home field advantage but yeah i i kind of miss it I kind of miss it.

Speaker 1 It's so stupid, but I kind of miss it.

Speaker 15 Like, if I'm just being honest in the trust tree, I know it's going to get, people are going to be like, you're stupid for that take, but I just kind of miss it meaning something.

Speaker 28 So my idea for the Pro Bowl, which could be be switched over to the All-Star game too, is that the winning team, the players on that team, they get a year taken off their contract where they can get closer to free agency

Speaker 28 if they want it.

Speaker 34 Yeah, if they want it. I like that.

Speaker 46 Oh, John Carlos Stanton won the

Speaker 51 Big Dildo Award.

Speaker 51 He won the

Speaker 47 glass bat.

Speaker 28 He won the CB.

Speaker 41 Yeah, what is that?

Speaker 47 I don't know, but he...

Speaker 28 John Carlo absolutely yeeted that ball in the left field fence.

Speaker 47 I don't know if you saw that. He fucking crushed it.

Speaker 34 Don't shake your head.

Speaker 72 Yeeted was the correct use there.

Speaker 28 I told you, I warned you as far ago as like six months that in July I was going to start saying yeet.

Speaker 18 He yeeted that ball and yeeted on that ball.

Speaker 58 He did. Both.

Speaker 15 So that actually brings up what my third old man take.

Speaker 47 Big culture.

Speaker 73 Yeah.

Speaker 30 My third old man take

Speaker 56 is I wish the home run derby went back to 10 outs.

Speaker 28 So I kind of agree with that because they took the simplest thing in sports, which is big man, stand-up plate, mash dongs.

Speaker 24 And

Speaker 2 the most simple part is we get to watch dongs.

Speaker 59 Yeah.

Speaker 16 We get to watch the dingers land and be like, whoa, look at that dinger.

Speaker 28 The concept was big man smash ball 10 times.

Speaker 36 Yeah, and we watched ball go far. How far ball go? Yeah, right.
That ball go far.

Speaker 37 Right.

Speaker 40 And I get it. Like,

Speaker 68 it was terrible sometimes watching guys take pitches, but the way it works now, like, it's just chaos.

Speaker 63 There's three balls in the air at the same time.

Speaker 28 Yeah, it's hard to keep up with. And there was a potential scoring error that happened.
Yes. MLB home run derby rigged.

Speaker 51 Big time runs.

Speaker 54 Albert Pujols,

Speaker 28 one of his home runs should not have counted.

Speaker 28 His pitcher had not even started his windup when the clock hit zero. And then Schwarber may or may not have had Dinger taken off the board because they couldn't keep track of all the balls in the air.

Speaker 72 And I'm pretty sure Albert Pujulos got 30 seconds bonus time for no reason.

Speaker 75 For being not hitting at 440.

Speaker 21 For being old.

Speaker 15 I get it. Again, these are old man takes, so they are meant to be laughed at by the younger generation.

Speaker 57 Be like, you guys are fucking lame.

Speaker 25 I just miss, like, there was a moment in the home run derby where it was, like, they were just hitting so many home runs, and you couldn't watch any of them, and you didn't get the distance on any of them.

Speaker 25 Like, I miss being able to sit there,

Speaker 7 watch a dinger, and then Chris Berman be like, and that one's going down to Temecula, and then like seeing how far it went and then reset another dinger.

Speaker 28 Yeah, it's also impossible to compare performances of the home run derby that we have now to performances in the past. Correct.

Speaker 28 So like back, I remember when it was at Camden Yards in Baltimore and Ken Griffey Jr. was putting on the best display of hitting that I've ever seen.
He was like hitting balls off the warehouse.

Speaker 28 There were like people sitting in the windows trying to do their spreadsheets, getting hit in the head by dingers.

Speaker 28 And that was incredible because he would hit the ball and then he'd stand next to the batter's box and the entire crowd would just all simultaneously appreciate this one ball.

Speaker 17 There are too many balls.

Speaker 28 Too many balls. Too many balls.
And I agree with that. Yeah.

Speaker 40 And again,

Speaker 3 I get it because watching, there are moments where we would watch.

Speaker 66 I think Sammy did it one year where he just took like 10 pitches in a row.

Speaker 60 And that does suck.

Speaker 47 But I think I would rather that and be able to gawk at the dingers than have just a flurry of dingers and be like, wait, where'd this one go?

Speaker 30 Where'd that one go?

Speaker 5 Oh, like there was a couple that were hit like 480 and we just didn't even get a chance to appreciate it.

Speaker 28 No, they incorporated math into the home run derby.

Speaker 34 Right. And I don't appreciate that.

Speaker 2 Chris Berman, shout out to Chris Berman.

Speaker 80 Chris Berman would be screwed in this new format because he wasn't going to be able to do that.

Speaker 36 He wouldn't be able to keep up.

Speaker 17 Yeah, he also was wearing a beautiful two-tone shirt.

Speaker 28 Yeah. No, it was, yep, it was the pattern of the shirt.

Speaker 28 It was designed so that right around the neck, that the blue color would turn a little bit darker blue. It was like the mountains, the mountains turned blue.

Speaker 44 Yeah, I also was thinking about it.

Speaker 15 Like, if Chris Berman was in the sun

Speaker 34 on the field and he wasn't sweating, I'd be like, call the ambulance.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 39 Something's wrong.

Speaker 36 Because Chris Berman, just he rolls out.

Speaker 3 He's shacking during the national anthem sweating.

Speaker 58 Like at all times.

Speaker 28 It's the mark of a healthy body to regulate itself using perspiration.

Speaker 15 He also, someone pointed out, which was very funny, that Chris Berman did look like the big Russian nesting doll with Jeff

Speaker 19 Passen and Tim Kirchin standing next to him.

Speaker 28 That's the thing about every single Major League Baseball insider. They call them insiders because they can fit inside everybody.
It's Jeff Passan. It's Ken Rosenthal.

Speaker 30 Dude, remember, Hank, remember when we saw Ken Rosenthal on the plane?

Speaker 28 Buster only.

Speaker 22 Ken Rosenthal jumped up on the seat to get his luggage out of the top.

Speaker 18 Yeah. He, like, in one

Speaker 65 quick motion, I was like, what did this guy just do?

Speaker 4 I've never seen anything like it.

Speaker 7 He jumped up on the seat to get his overhead luggage.

Speaker 5 And like, was like, yeah, I do this every time.

Speaker 28 and we're just crazy we're not even talking about tim kirchin either like those four right there i think the average height is probably like i don't know somewhere around frankie munez yeah it's it's crazy it's they they are true insiders but yeah that was um it was good to see the schwam the homerun derby was fun i'm not saying it wasn't fun i'm just saying i kind of miss being able to just stand sit there i'm essentially saying it's too fast-paced i'm also hearing that juan soto may have ruined his swing and so trade value for him would be way down and probably no team is going to want to sign him as a free agent either.

Speaker 4 Yeah, the old Bobby Abreu.

Speaker 28 Yeah, so he's probably off the market, not for life, Wan Soto. Yeah.

Speaker 52 Yeah, that was a hell of a, I mean, Julio Rodriguez was awesome, too.

Speaker 51 That was electric.

Speaker 84 Well, that's why it's bullshit when they like

Speaker 84 cheated for poo-holes when it's like he made more last night than his entire salary. Yeah, yeah, like it matters.
Like Albert Poorz doesn't need the money.

Speaker 30 Yeah, no, Julio Rodriguez

Speaker 71 pool.

Speaker 15 He's making $700,000 this year.

Speaker 85 That's insane.

Speaker 24 And so he was going to make, if he had won that, he would have won a million dollars.

Speaker 28 That's crazy. That's insane.
I love how Hank pronounced Albert Pooh Holes' last name, Pooh Holes.

Speaker 24 Yeah. I mean, it was disgusting.

Speaker 25 The old man.

Speaker 18 Pooh Holes.

Speaker 54 Pooh Holes.

Speaker 58 How old is he?

Speaker 84 I remember when I was like, I must have been 10 years old, and my friend was like, there's this guy named Pooh Holes.

Speaker 8 Yeah. 42.

Speaker 36 It's the best. It's the funniest thing in the entire world.

Speaker 84 And then it's like, he's really good.

Speaker 23 His listed age is 42?

Speaker 80 January 16th, 1980.

Speaker 28 He's like 45. Easily.
He was so mad when he won that first first-round matchup. Yeah.
He thought he was done for it. He was so gassed.

Speaker 22 He was so gassed.

Speaker 24 And, yeah, I mean, baseball's back.

Speaker 79 They do do...

Speaker 2 Baseball's all-star festivities are the best of the four major sports.

Speaker 44 Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 30 Like, I mean, you could say maybe basketball, but the dunk contest sucks.

Speaker 78 Like,

Speaker 40 and like, yeah, it is. I think it's not even close.

Speaker 28 Also, big shout-out to what, Dave Jouse? Yeah. Dave Jouse was back out there.

Speaker 47 He's back out again.

Speaker 15 Oh, we didn't even mention the fact that Pete Alonzo, the guy was treating it like game seven of the World Series.

Speaker 47 Yeah, he was locked in.

Speaker 65 He was to lose in the second round.

Speaker 28 He was meditating backstage.

Speaker 44 He was deadlifting in between rounds.

Speaker 28 It's crazy.

Speaker 28 He was taking it so seriously.

Speaker 42 I would be so mad if I were a Mets fan.

Speaker 23 Like, dude, you have a good team this year.

Speaker 48 Like,

Speaker 4 this is supposed to be fun.

Speaker 28 Yeah, he was sitting backstage with his eyes closed, chanting to himself, getting ready to go back out there.

Speaker 69 Does he have frosted tips?

Speaker 28 I don't know if he has frosted tips.

Speaker 44 I think he might have frosted tips.

Speaker 28 They call him the polar bear, right?

Speaker 51 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 28 He was fun to watch.

Speaker 28 The pitcher, actually, the best pitcher of the night was the Braves pitcher that was pitching to Acuna. Yeah.
He's throwing junk. Yeah, he was.
He was throwing sliders on him.

Speaker 79 It sucks when the pitcher was back.

Speaker 28 I wanted to see the straight-ahead center field cam on that, get pitching ninja on that to show me exactly how much movement was on those pitches. Yeah.

Speaker 28 It was impossible for Acunya to get a hit off him.

Speaker 42 Yeah. And Dodger Stadium was beautiful.

Speaker 34 It also brought

Speaker 15 that memory we had of the time

Speaker 34 we were so fucking high, we couldn't explain what our podcast was to two guys in line in the concession stand.

Speaker 28 Yeah, listen, when you're high and

Speaker 28 you're trying to figure out an order that involves multiple flavors of ice cream and also explain what a podcast is, that's just too much information flowing through your brain.

Speaker 84 Yeah, they were just Rich Hill Bobbleheill night.

Speaker 41 It was it? Yeah, I found it.

Speaker 84 I remember I just found the bobblehead when I was moving. I was like, why the fuck do I have a Rich Hill bobblehead?

Speaker 16 I think I just remember us eating edibles before, and we just ate way too many.

Speaker 1 And we were like, and then halfway through the game, we're like, whoa,

Speaker 85 this place is crazy.

Speaker 28 Yeah, no, I was enthralled by the majesty of Dodger Stadium. I was like, I get it now.
Yeah. I get it.
It's beautiful. I understand.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 31 And then those two old guys were like, why do people come up asking for pictures?

Speaker 22 And we're like,

Speaker 76 we're like on the internet.

Speaker 36 I remember, didn't we try?

Speaker 28 We had to do the math because we interviewed Tommy Lasorda. before the game, right? Right.
So we had to figure out like, how, what's an appropriate amount of time?

Speaker 28 Like, can we take these edibles while Tommy is still in the room?

Speaker 82 Is that okay?

Speaker 47 Yes.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 23 And yeah, I think we saw Tommy later and we were like, whoa,

Speaker 36 you're still alive.

Speaker 36 R.I.P.

Speaker 40 He was still alive that night after we interviewed him.

Speaker 50 He was still alive.

Speaker 33 Yeah. Well, yeah, he was.
Yeah,

Speaker 28 we had nothing to do with his death. We were way too high to kill him.

Speaker 41 Yes, way, way too high.

Speaker 52 We would have just hugged him to death.

Speaker 3 So I guess we could. That would have been beautiful.

Speaker 40 Anything else?

Speaker 4 Jake, what do you say?

Speaker 40 The NL has now lost 10 in a row?

Speaker 80 They haven't won since 2012, nine in a row because it's 2020.

Speaker 80 When they last won it, the Astros were still in the NL.

Speaker 9 Wow.

Speaker 80 Altuve was wearing an NL all-star jersey.

Speaker 68 The curse.

Speaker 25 It's crazy. Wait, Altuve was in the All-Star game in 2012?

Speaker 80 I saw a picture of it.

Speaker 68 Whoa.

Speaker 59 Damn.

Speaker 90 Yeah, here it is. I guess so.

Speaker 49 Kansas City.

Speaker 68 Yep.

Speaker 51 That's it. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 68 Oh, wait.

Speaker 85 Wow. That is crazy.

Speaker 28 See, I don't like those jerseys, the old blue ones. I don't like when they do those different colors.
I like what they did tonight.

Speaker 28 It was like, it felt like it felt almost like an arena, like a classy arena football uniform that they were wearing.

Speaker 40 Yeah, game of the future.

Speaker 53 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 28 It was nice.

Speaker 74 Yeah.

Speaker 83 All right, so baseball is back.

Speaker 17 The Midsummer Classic.

Speaker 24 By the way, did you guys see?

Speaker 23 I totally forgot, but the game in Iowa this year is the Reds and the Cubs.

Speaker 9 Oh, man.

Speaker 63 Here's what I don't understand.

Speaker 69 But it's going to be a great game.

Speaker 86 Right, right. But

Speaker 63 there was no scenario that that game was going to be good.

Speaker 47 What do you mean?

Speaker 51 Like, the Cubs weren't going to be good, and the Reds weren't going to be good.

Speaker 84 Big market game.

Speaker 92 I get that, but, like, it actually is.

Speaker 15 They are fighting for last place right now.

Speaker 24 I guess once they get the Cornstalks out, we'll be like, oh, who cares?

Speaker 28 They should have been playing Williamsport on the Little League field.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 80 Red Sox Orioles this year. I'm looking at that right now.
Williamsport.

Speaker 61 Oh, really? Oh, yeah. They play at the big stadium.

Speaker 15 I remember I tried to bet the over because I was like, oh, they're going to play at the little field.

Speaker 51 That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 41 I'm not an idiot. Of course, they're not.

Speaker 28 They should definitely do that with the Reds and the Cubs.

Speaker 23 Yeah, this Reds-Cubs game is going to be so bad.

Speaker 47 Wow.

Speaker 42 But again, what I'm saying is,

Speaker 40 when they made that schedule, I get the big market thing, but

Speaker 23 neither of those teams were projected to be good this year.

Speaker 28 Credit, though, to Rob Manford for figuring out that we need a mid-mid-summer classic. Yeah.
Like another mid-summer classic, because usually the all-star game's over.

Speaker 28 It's like, okay, I don't have to care about baseball until the last week of August.

Speaker 75 I'm checking out.

Speaker 5 Yeah,

Speaker 23 we need Aaron Judge to hit 62 home runs.

Speaker 28 Yep, that's what will keep our attention going.

Speaker 47 It would, yeah.

Speaker 1 He's got 33 at the all-star break, so come on.

Speaker 28 What does Swerber have? 29?

Speaker 56 Something like that.

Speaker 28 He's up there.

Speaker 56 Swarber just hits in bunches, except for last night, which that was a killer.

Speaker 28 Well, that was rigged.

Speaker 71 Yeah, that was rigged.

Speaker 5 All right, let's get to it.

Speaker 28 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 69 Hank, why don't you start us off?

Speaker 84 My hot seat, I have a couple.

Speaker 36 Okay.

Speaker 84 A few, actually.

Speaker 58 See a three.

Speaker 71 Yes.

Speaker 8 Okay, so.

Speaker 49 Oh, my God. He just admitted it.

Speaker 84 Should I do

Speaker 68 a couple?

Speaker 84 The Oakland A's are my first hot seat.

Speaker 44 So you're drinking two.

Speaker 94 Yeah, I'm going to do. Yeah.

Speaker 19 Okay, so you're admitting it again.

Speaker 94 Admitting.

Speaker 28 A couple is two.

Speaker 84 Yeah, a few. A couple could also be a few.

Speaker 36 I don't know about that.

Speaker 84 We don't have to go through the Webster dictionary again. Oakland A's, they tried to get

Speaker 84 their all-star pitcher. They tried to get him a commercial flight from Houston to LA.
And then when the Astros found out, they let him join the Astros Players Chargers

Speaker 11 charter.

Speaker 57 Oh, okay, so he had to hop a ride.

Speaker 28 What was that guy's name?

Speaker 94 I don't know.

Speaker 75 The A's guy.

Speaker 36 It was Blackburn.

Speaker 84 Yeah, my bad.

Speaker 80 Did you see the Nationals?

Speaker 28 No, that's fake news. That was fake.

Speaker 51 There weren't any flyouts.

Speaker 36 No photos.

Speaker 55 No, No, that was it. That's

Speaker 51 turned down the deal.

Speaker 91 No,

Speaker 28 that's not how it happened at all.

Speaker 91 What happened?

Speaker 28 Dan Snyder had the company jet flying over to Israel.

Speaker 66 They made Soto fly commercial because he turned down the 440.

Speaker 28 They didn't have the jet. Snyder took it.
By the way, I will be bombing Snyder's yacht off the coast of Israel on the ghost of Manhattan tonight at 8 p.m.

Speaker 84 Similar story. So, I mean, the real focus of this hot seat, I guess it's really one combined.

Speaker 84 But everyone was upset with the A's for this, for not getting a private plane for one player to go from Houston to L.A.

Speaker 84 And then simultaneously, the entire internet is very upset with Kylie Jenner because she took a private jet for 12 minutes. Respect.
Where?

Speaker 84 For the distance of a 45-minute drive.

Speaker 95 From where to where?

Speaker 84 From LA to L.A.

Speaker 54 Yeah, we love the 405.

Speaker 28 Love it. Traffic was bad.

Speaker 84 So it's one of those things, though. It's like kind of the internet in a nutshell where it's like everyone's roasting.
They're like, oh, you know.

Speaker 63 That's one of those things, too.

Speaker 24 You can roast, but if you had that ability, you would do the same thing.

Speaker 95 If they're like, oh, it's an hour and 15 minutes in traffic or it's 12 minutes on a jet.

Speaker 28 Yeah, what are her options?

Speaker 7 If you had the money that she has, you would do it without a doubt.

Speaker 28 Take a jet, not a helicopter.

Speaker 55 No.

Speaker 68 We know how that went.

Speaker 84 And then my other

Speaker 84 Odyssey was the Hoover Dam.

Speaker 84 Yeah. There's a big explosion at the Hoover Dam.
Huge one. I feel like that's in every

Speaker 84 movie, sci-fi movie. Like, shit always happens at the Hoover Dam, and then things go south.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 28 Do you remember what exploded there?

Speaker 84 There was a big fire.

Speaker 96 Billy? I think it was one of their turbines.

Speaker 21 Oh.

Speaker 28 Oh, that doesn't sound good.

Speaker 15 They didn't get their turbines checked.

Speaker 28 People forget that Las Vegas should not exist. Yeah.
It's just out in the middle of the desert.

Speaker 85 They just built it out of nowhere.

Speaker 36 The mob.

Speaker 23 Shout out the mob.

Speaker 2 Mob gets a bad rap. They built Las Vegas for us.

Speaker 82 That's a fact.

Speaker 60 Say what you will about the mob.

Speaker 75 They built Las Vegas.

Speaker 39 Okay, your cool thrones? Killed Kennedy, too.

Speaker 58 Yeah.

Speaker 84 Elon with his pop-topped.

Speaker 92 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 28 He took mine.

Speaker 62 What'd he do?

Speaker 84 Elon with the pop-topped off.

Speaker 28 Elon Musk had a picture that came out, and he looks like a fucking beast.

Speaker 41 Is he a doughy guy?

Speaker 51 What an alpha.

Speaker 36 No.

Speaker 28 I wanted to ask Billy.

Speaker 47 No.

Speaker 28 I wanted to ask Billy about

Speaker 28 Billy about his body because there's something going on. I don't know what he's injecting himself from.

Speaker 84 Raw sexual energy.

Speaker 28 The dude just exudes alphaness.

Speaker 96 He has one of the weirdest body shapes I've ever seen on earth.

Speaker 82 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 52 He's a tub of cream cheese.

Speaker 28 He looks like he ate himself.

Speaker 21 Damn.

Speaker 33 Wow.

Speaker 19 Yeah, and it's the skin tone is.

Speaker 47 You got to fucking hop in the tanning bed, Elon.

Speaker 23 At least get a spray tan.

Speaker 28 Yeah, he's like clear. His skin is like,

Speaker 28 it's not white. It's not pink.
It's not tan.

Speaker 28 It's like the stuff that they wrap up a spring roll with at a Thai restaurant.

Speaker 28 That's what his skin's made of.

Speaker 47 Oh, I hate that stuff.

Speaker 28 It's weird, isn't it?

Speaker 34 Yeah, it's always, yeah.

Speaker 84 Still not as bad as Zuckerberg's white face.

Speaker 28 No,

Speaker 55 remember

Speaker 82 Zuckerberg's ass, yeah.

Speaker 58 He's beefed up. True.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 84 Peaches. That's it.

Speaker 94 Elon with the pop-topped off. Okay.

Speaker 28 Also, cool throwing Elon. Not only is he an international sex symbol right now, but he also is not going to have to buy Twitter for the low, low price of $1 billion.
So he's going to pay.

Speaker 84 Why, because his dad's banging his stepdaughter.

Speaker 97 Yeah,

Speaker 28 probably has something to do with it.

Speaker 15 So you got other things to deal with, bro.

Speaker 28 So he backed out of the sale. He's alleging that

Speaker 28 the bot situation was a little bit of a business. And they were suing him, right? Yeah, but then since he entered into the official agreement, he's getting sued for...

Speaker 28 He's going to have to pay a billion dollars unless he can prove that Twitter withheld information that he asked for specifically. Bottom line is a billion? When you say yeah, a billion dollars.

Speaker 28 It's a billion dollar mistake that he made potentially. And it sounds like the court's going to rule with Twitter on this one.
And they're ruling it down in Delaware.

Speaker 28 And this is something that occurred to me yesterday, but we need to figure out what the fuck is going on in Delaware.

Speaker 43 America's file capital.

Speaker 28 Why does Delaware... Delaware has so much business that runs through it.
Everything. And there's absolutely nothing inside that state with the exception of like two decent beach towns.
Yeah.

Speaker 28 I don't understand what's going on in Delaware. I had like five people that have DM'd me because I've asked the question, what's going on in Delaware? They've had

Speaker 28 long, long screens. I'm more confused now than ever.
Yeah. What the fuck? Corporations.
Shut the whole place down until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

Speaker 16 Very friendly to corporations.

Speaker 85 Do all your business in Delaware.

Speaker 28 My hot seat is Leonard Fournette.

Speaker 28 Because about this time every year, we start to get a report of one, usually it's a running back, one running back that's reporting to camp

Speaker 28 slightly overweight, shall we say. And this year that would be Leonard Fournette.
The reports are that he's up to 260 pounds.

Speaker 28 But then playoff Lenny was posting videos of him doing deadlifts and stuff, being like, Look, I'm more powerful than I used to be. I'm not that fat.

Speaker 28 The Bucs have a couple other options at running back they can go with, but Lenny was getting dragged. He was getting dragged hard in the news.

Speaker 51 I don't like it.

Speaker 28 And then he

Speaker 28 fired off a tweet today, responded to all the haters. This is a great out-of-context tweet from Lenny.
He goes, They wouldn't have the same energy in your face, so why entertain them?

Speaker 28 See y'all September 11th.

Speaker 28 So

Speaker 28 he's joining the Live Tour.

Speaker 58 Yeah, what the fuck?

Speaker 46 That's what I got out of that one.

Speaker 28 Jihad Lenny.

Speaker 58 Okay.

Speaker 56 I don't like the fat shaming of our good friend Lenny.

Speaker 28 I don't like it one bit. I think he's just going to be powerful.
Listen, Leonard Fournette has always

Speaker 28 played the game bigger than everybody else. Going back to high school, college, he was usually bigger than some of the linebackers, most of the linebackers that he was going up against in college.

Speaker 28 And then he gets to the NFL. Guess what? They're all bigger than him now.
He has no choice but to put on weights.

Speaker 18 Yeah, he'll work it off anyway.

Speaker 44 That's what training camp is for.

Speaker 21 Yep.

Speaker 95 He's on the blogger page still.

Speaker 80 Maybe we should put this one up. Yeah.

Speaker 55 Yeah, we should. Get some clicks.
Yeah.

Speaker 47 I like that. All right.
And your cool throne?

Speaker 28 My cool throne was Elon Musk. Oh, okay.

Speaker 49 But Hank took it.

Speaker 18 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 23 My hot seat is podcast duos because Deesus and Merrow have split up.

Speaker 42 Everyone was very upset online, understandably.

Speaker 15 And it made me think, like, we should, one of us just has to die, PFT, before we split.

Speaker 28 No's game.

Speaker 36 Yeah. Oh, fuck.

Speaker 51 Beach. Right.
I'll just have to die.

Speaker 24 Because, like, I was thinking about it.

Speaker 5 It'd just be easier for the other person.

Speaker 28 Why don't we just fake?

Speaker 36 One of us should fake matter now.

Speaker 51 What do you mean?

Speaker 28 Oh, Billy steps in.

Speaker 51 Yeah, Billy's right here.

Speaker 84 Both of you would have to die. I would.

Speaker 51 Well, if.

Speaker 51 No, I guess Billy would have to die.

Speaker 7 I'll just say it right now: if PFT died and Billy tried to sit in his seat, I would then kill myself.

Speaker 55 So it would be a double death.

Speaker 58 Yeah.

Speaker 36 But on your hands,

Speaker 96 look, they say that podcast duos without young interns don't last as long.

Speaker 82 Oh, so you're intern.

Speaker 36 All right, so we'll adjust your salary.

Speaker 28 Jake's an intern as well. You just demoted Jake?

Speaker 54 Yeah.

Speaker 97 Yeah, you need

Speaker 51 a young dog.

Speaker 92 What does your Twitter bio say?

Speaker 97 No longer an intern.

Speaker 8 Oh, nice.

Speaker 28 You know, Jake has been not an intern for like three years. Yeah.

Speaker 96 I'm not an intern, but young members.

Speaker 51 Young members.

Speaker 86 But yeah, no, I think one of us has to die because

Speaker 25 it would just be easier on everyone.

Speaker 24 It'd be like, oh, they would have kept on putting out hits.

Speaker 52 They keep it together for the kids.

Speaker 28 Yeah, it might be like when old people die, and then just, you know, two days later, the heart breaks.

Speaker 28 I can't go on anymore. How soon after the Deez and Miro split up, Billy, did you think, like, maybe I could take Miro's spot? Yeah.

Speaker 97 I had no idea.

Speaker 28 Can you do an Eminem impression?

Speaker 96 Palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, bro.

Speaker 28 Yeah, I think the Bodega Hive is alive and well. Yeah.

Speaker 24 Yeah, that sucked, though.

Speaker 87 Yeah.

Speaker 28 Deezus is

Speaker 28 a friend, and I think he's going to be great in the long run.

Speaker 28 I think it's going to work out well for him. He'll probably land on his feet.

Speaker 46 We should get him on the show really, really soon.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But it also, like, it's one of those things that this is, I feel like this is new media.

Speaker 30 Again, people are going to look into this.

Speaker 56 I already said that one of us just has to die before we split up.

Speaker 75 But, like, the,

Speaker 16 so just remember that part, not the next part.

Speaker 40 But, like, bands split up.

Speaker 2 Like, things, you know, like,

Speaker 70 this happens, like, teams split up.

Speaker 1 I feel like we're just so new to podcasting that, like, the podcast split ups haven't really.

Speaker 28 We had Come Town and now jesus and merrow it's yeah it's a bloodbath that's fucking we're losing everyone and also with new media i think that like they were around for what 10 years doing podcasts together

Speaker 28 that was i'm still getting not getting over that yeah um but yeah they were around for 10 years before they split up and that's a very long time yeah in podcasting it's not like you know long time for anything mike and the mad dog were together for what like 30 years probably

Speaker 28 i don't think it was that long but i i feel like there's something about doing a podcast where you work together like day in, day out, you're around each other all the time that does make it seem like 10 years is a long time

Speaker 43 relationship. So, yeah, one of us will die.

Speaker 56 Promise you that.

Speaker 22 And then my cool throne is life accomplishments, no matter what age they come.

Speaker 2 So Andrew Brandt tweeted out today.

Speaker 89 He's a former Packers

Speaker 89 front office worker.

Speaker 46 He's now, I think he does like a, I don't know what he does now. I think he's like a reporter.

Speaker 28 He's an insider. Insider.

Speaker 28 So he tweeted, 62 today entering middle age joined packers at 40 first triathlon at 47 joined media at 51 law professor at 56 started podcast slash newsletter at 58 climbed everest equivalent at 61 everest equivalent everest equivalent so i looked it up there's a mountain in utah that people just walk up over and over and then they say well i did the equivalent of everest yeah that's bullshit how why would you ever brag about that ever i i think it's even worse that he bragged about his newsletter yeah that's a career comment it's also like those

Speaker 84 who started like emailing everybody every single day yeah those things went in reverse yeah of like coolness yeah

Speaker 15 but no climbed no no no climbed uh well yeah yeah that everest equivalent shouldn't have been on the list could you imagine being like like sitting at a dinner table and being like so what's like the coolest thing you guys did well i i did an everest equivalent like what It's an altitude up a hill.

Speaker 84 Yeah, the altitude is like

Speaker 84 the main factor. That's the thing.

Speaker 51 And it's dead bodies.

Speaker 60 And the dead bodies. A frozen one.

Speaker 28 And the weather and the yetis.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 28 Everything. The Sasquatches up there.

Speaker 42 He literally just, I went and saw the picture. It was like in the middle of summer.
He just went up a fucking Stairmaster and was like, yeah, Everest equivalent.

Speaker 28 So I'm doing the math in my head. Mount Everest is 29,000 feet high.

Speaker 73 Yeah.

Speaker 51 No, it's yeah. Is that the math you're doing in your head?

Speaker 9 Well, if you could point it out.

Speaker 28 If you could shut the fuck fuck up for a second, Hank, I'm doing the math and I'm saying if it's 29,000 feet high, that means it's five and a half miles. Yeah.
He walked five and a half miles. Yeah.

Speaker 18 On like a slight incline.

Speaker 60 In probably pretty temperate weather.

Speaker 23 Oh, no, it was he had his shirt off.

Speaker 60 Okay, so he walked. Yeah, he was.

Speaker 28 He spent a great day outside.

Speaker 18 Yeah, it was, it's, whoever came up with this idea, I guess kudos to them because they found a way to like just get money out of people for being like, come to our hill in Utah and we'll just give you a medal saying that you went on an Everest equivalent Everest equivalent that's

Speaker 28 yeah I'm gonna throw a flag on that Andrew yeah Everest equivalent I've run many marathon equivalents you can do the K2 equivalent by buying like 30 bricks of of gas station weed yeah I beat Joey Chestnut's hot dog record equivalent in my life.

Speaker 80 Billy ran the Boston Marathon a grit week.

Speaker 5 Yeah, he did. That was equivalent.

Speaker 45 Yeah.

Speaker 5 But that actually was, he actually ran a full marathon

Speaker 70 non-stop.

Speaker 87 I took a couple breaks.

Speaker 58 Yeah, that's true. You did take a couple breaks.

Speaker 68 That's okay.

Speaker 82 I actually.

Speaker 51 That was impressive.

Speaker 71 That was impressive. It was.

Speaker 28 Honestly, that was the coolest thing that you've done, I think.

Speaker 68 Ever.

Speaker 15 That was your life has gone downhill from that moment.

Speaker 28 Billy's built different.

Speaker 2 And I actually kind of overshadowed it with the Buster Posey poll, like, right after.

Speaker 84 And the Mario Party reversal.

Speaker 51 Yeah, the Mario Party reversal.

Speaker 5 So, yeah.

Speaker 31 It was the third coolest thing that happened that night.

Speaker 67 Still very cool.

Speaker 87 We're all really cool.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 79 Okay, Billy, your hot seat, cool throne.

Speaker 96 My hot seat is tourists. It's the summer.
A lot of people traveling, and with it, a lot of bad tourist stories. So, number one, we had an American tourist who fell into a volcano in Italy.

Speaker 96 Same volcano that destroyed Pompeii.

Speaker 96 Really bad look for tourists. He was taking a selfie and fell into the volcano.

Speaker 28 Yeah, that is. Is he okay?

Speaker 96 He's decent, but that's a tough look.

Speaker 28 It sounds like it was a Vesuvius equivalent.

Speaker 69 Wait, he didn't die?

Speaker 96 No, he didn't die.

Speaker 51 So then he didn't fall into a volcano. Exactly.
Him and Andrew Brown. They got a mountain plot.

Speaker 92 Was it inactive?

Speaker 54 Yeah, was it lava?

Speaker 96 I mean, he went down. I think he got burned on the rocks.
It may have been friction, but he still fell into a volcano.

Speaker 36 He scraped his knee.

Speaker 12 No, no.

Speaker 51 No, if you fall into a volcano.

Speaker 51 He fell pretty far.

Speaker 88 You need to be evaporating.

Speaker 84 If it's not molten lava in the bowl, then it's not.

Speaker 84 That's not a volcano. I agree.

Speaker 96 Also, tourists keep getting murked in Yellowstone by the bison uh they try to pet them and they're just getting like thrown like rodeo style yep he got rescued this guy didn't fall into a volcano okay it was a Mickey Mouse volcano it certainly was also he was trying to recover his cell phone which I actually like yeah you got to go for that cell phone and you can't leave that

Speaker 13 right

Speaker 28 I would rather fall into a volcano than have to deal with the Apple store that's a fact it's not even a real volcano it was it maybe there was smoke on it. Maybe.

Speaker 58 I don't even think there was.

Speaker 47 I actually, I pulled up.

Speaker 84 They probably say every big mountain out there is the volcano that took out Pompeii.

Speaker 28 I pulled up the website for the Everest equivalent thing. It's crazy.
Here's how they describe it.

Speaker 28 We rent a private mountain and build an all-inclusive participant village with bands, bonfires, food, drink, recovery lounge, and everything else you need.

Speaker 28 It's more impressive to survive Burning Man than it is to participate in this Everest equivalent.

Speaker 69 They're glamping Everest.

Speaker 28 It's cultural appropriation.

Speaker 48 It's fucking crazy.

Speaker 96 Everest is also kind of glamping nowadays.

Speaker 77 No, I mean, but that actually makes it worse for him because Everest is not even cool anymore.

Speaker 21 Everyone climbs Everest.

Speaker 60 I remember when Everest was like, oh, don't climb Everest.

Speaker 48 He'll fucking die.

Speaker 51 Now everyone fucking climbs Everest.

Speaker 96 There's like huge lines. Yeah.

Speaker 96 My cool throne is the U.S. dollar.
For the first time in a long time, it was equal to the Euro. Fuck yes.

Speaker 96 Which is like, I don't know if that's good or bad, but I always hated how the Euro is worth more. No, it's good, it's good.

Speaker 28 I like it.

Speaker 36 It's really good.

Speaker 41 Yeah, we rule.

Speaker 26 My hot seat, adult autograph seekers.

Speaker 80 Yeah, we had a crazy incident today at the red carpet, all-star entrance party, whatever it was, of this guy just towering over little kids trying to get the Sharpie.

Speaker 51 It was a wild video.

Speaker 9 I don't.

Speaker 5 I would actually.

Speaker 22 I actually want to say right now, I would like to have an adult autograph seeker on the show.

Speaker 18 I want to interview an adult autographography.

Speaker 80 Don't we have one in the office?

Speaker 92 Jerry. We've got a couple.

Speaker 55 We got Stephen, right?

Speaker 25 Stephen and Jerry. Yeah.

Speaker 36 Both.

Speaker 58 Yes. Frank.
Frank as well. Yeah.

Speaker 28 We know several.

Speaker 15 Yeah, we do know.

Speaker 56 Now that I'm thinking about it, we're just a company full of adult autograph seekers.

Speaker 42 But I'd like to interview someone who's proud of the fact that they're a scumbag.

Speaker 9 You know what I mean?

Speaker 5 Like, I will elbow a kid.

Speaker 97 We've had.

Speaker 68 Who? Hample.

Speaker 58 No, that's different.

Speaker 24 He's catching foul balls.

Speaker 36 I think Art gets a lot of family.

Speaker 71 I think he gets him signed sometimes, too.

Speaker 28 I'm pretty sure he has a collectible.

Speaker 80 I think he's similar in this show to Dude Perfect.

Speaker 80 There's a lot of hate on this show, but everyone else really, really hate it.

Speaker 51 Oh, people love Zach Campbell.

Speaker 36 I don't know what that's about.

Speaker 28 Little kids do. I think Jake's way off on that.

Speaker 65 No, kids do, really.

Speaker 28 I think the world is sick of Zach Campbell. No, no, no.

Speaker 23 He's right.

Speaker 32 Kids do because they watch his videos.

Speaker 52 They're like, oh, this is how he can catch foul balls.

Speaker 80 I see him at games. Little kids are screaming for him.

Speaker 24 Yeah, he's like the Pied Piper.

Speaker 28 Little kids like him. Yeah.

Speaker 51 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 36 Yeah, he's like, Dude Perfect.

Speaker 41 Little kids, okay. Yeah,

Speaker 28 I guess that's fair, but he gets a lot of shit.

Speaker 15 But I want the guy who like little kids hate because, like, you see that guy, like, fat Tony's coming, and he's gonna fucking squeeze everyone out.

Speaker 28 I almost, in a sick way, respect the shamelessness of the adult male autograph secret because they go with their suitcase.

Speaker 28 If you've ever been to like Radio Row, when they have all the old-timers, like walking around doing interviews, um, they set up in their sad little fan area and they bring like four suitcases with them, and then they're like the

Speaker 28 guy in Oliver Twist that runs the orphanage, They get little kids to run out with their merchandise to get the autographs for them and bring them back.

Speaker 28 Meanwhile, they're like chain smoking Newports waiting for these kids to get I want that guy.

Speaker 51 I want that guy on our show.

Speaker 28 The sleaziest of the sleaziest. And I respect the confidence that they must have in themselves to be like, yeah, this is how I make my money.
Yeah, whatever.

Speaker 36 Deal with it.

Speaker 18 Yeah, I want to interview that guy.

Speaker 30 I want to pick his brain.

Speaker 80 My cool throne is Toys R Us. It's making a return inside Macy's stores for the holiday season.

Speaker 67 Oh, hello. Nostalgia.
Toys R Us kid.

Speaker 80 Backwards R.

Speaker 90 Pretty sick. Yeah, the kangaroo.

Speaker 15 No, the giraffe.

Speaker 82 Jeffrey.

Speaker 82 Jeffrey the giraffe.

Speaker 26 Yeah, so that's exciting.

Speaker 28 Yeah, that is exciting. They had a great jingle, too.

Speaker 36 I don't want to grow up.

Speaker 14 I'm a Toys R Us kid.

Speaker 28 Pot of dynamite, and look what I did.

Speaker 80 Yeah, they went bankrupt in 2017, but slow comeback.

Speaker 28 Nice.

Speaker 49 Blockbuster's next.

Speaker 28 Retail, baby.

Speaker 66 I want to buy Blockbuster stock.

Speaker 30 There's still one open in like Washington.

Speaker 28 It's in Oregon, yeah.

Speaker 84 Jake is right. I'm watching a vlog and there's like a thousand kids.

Speaker 33 Yes, he is the Pied Piper because think about it.

Speaker 17 If you're like a 10-year-old kid and you can watch a how-to video of catching foul balls, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 That is awesome.

Speaker 83 And Zach Hample's not a bad guy.

Speaker 52 Like, he's a nice guy.

Speaker 22 So

Speaker 15 free Zach Hample.

Speaker 70 I don't know. He's not locked up.

Speaker 48 But if he ever were, I would say free him.

Speaker 68 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 28 I'm 40 for Britney Griner.

Speaker 36 Free him. No.

Speaker 55 Yes. Easy.

Speaker 35 Imagine how many foul balls Brittany Griner could catch.

Speaker 25 She doesn't know the good spots.

Speaker 28 All she has to do is watch the fucking vlogs. Nope.

Speaker 58 We'll take them down.

Speaker 36 All right.

Speaker 42 Let's get to Ray Romano.

Speaker 17 Then we're going to do the Mount Rushmore Spoilers.

Speaker 6 There will be spoilers.

Speaker 3 And we'll finish up with Guys on Chicks.

Speaker 101 The Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 102 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 102 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 79 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest.

Speaker 5 It is actor and

Speaker 72 amateur golfer, maybe pro golfer, Ray Romano, fresh off of his appearance at the American Century Championship last weekend at Tahoe.

Speaker 93 Let's start there, Ray, because we're going to talk about the acting, but how's your golf game, and were you happy with your performance over the weekend?

Speaker 103 You know, I played in that tournament this is my 18th year and I'm very anal. I keep charts.
I keep a record of

Speaker 103 every,

Speaker 103 you know, it's three rounds there and I keep a record of every round and what position I come in. And there's usually about 85 guys in the tournament.

Speaker 103 And, you know, the most of them are world, I don't know how much familiar you are with the tournament, but they're all,

Speaker 103 it's pretty much all athletes. There's maybe, I don't know, 15 to 20 people from the world, the entertainment world, you know.

Speaker 103 So, my goal is to try to,

Speaker 103 you know, I suck, but my goal is to try to beat as many guys as I can. You know, you get a big thrill out of beating a, you know, a Super Bowl winner or an MVP.

Speaker 103 And golf can do that. Golf is the great equalizer, you know.

Speaker 103 And the best position I've come in is like 58th, maybe out of 85. So my goal this year was I want to crack 50.

Speaker 103 And

Speaker 103 I also want to still come ahead of Charles Barkley because

Speaker 103 Barkley's getting better, you know?

Speaker 36 Yes.

Speaker 103 And I didn't crack 50, but I did just squeak past Barkley, you know.

Speaker 103 I came in like 71st place, but I'm a 13 handicap, you know, but I really, it really, it's a grind because I I take it seriously. I really want to do well.
My kids come, they walk the course with me.

Speaker 103 And,

Speaker 103 you know, you, you hit a bad shot. And

Speaker 103 the hard part about that tournament is it's not hard, but, but, but the gruel of it is

Speaker 103 you, you know, the people are there to be

Speaker 103 have fun and watch you, and they don't care about your golf. And if you hit a bad shot, you know, they're, they, they just want you to smile and tell a joke.

Speaker 103 And and inside you're dying inside you know because you you're grinding and you got to put that smile on and have a funny little thing quipped for them and i get it because without the without the crowd we're not there but boy it's a it's it's a grind for three days but anyway the long answer is On a scale of one to 10, for my golf, I played about a six this weekend.

Speaker 4 Okay, so who is the guy that you beat that you were like, I beat that person?

Speaker 72 Or maybe you could do it for the history of you playing in the tournament where you can walk

Speaker 55 him.

Speaker 103 I mean, the first day,

Speaker 103 I did fairly good for myself on the first day. And

Speaker 103 I was in like maybe 59th place on day one.

Speaker 103 And I beat a lot of the actors. I beat Miles Teller.

Speaker 103 I beat Larry the Cable guy. You know,

Speaker 103 I just, I played with Brian Baumgartner. I didn't beat him.

Speaker 103 But I beat, I tied with

Speaker 103 Coach Vrabel, Vrabel, you know, from Tennessee.

Speaker 104 Yep, a good friend of ours.

Speaker 103 Yeah, Ivan Rodriguez punched.

Speaker 103 On the second day, I was matched up with him. And I was five strokes, five points ahead of him when the day started, but he actually beat me by the end of the day.
I was ahead of Marcus Allen.

Speaker 103 I mean, I have to look at the charts, but there was a handful in there after day one that I was ahead of. And then I didn't do his great day two.
I dropped. I was still ahead of Barkley.

Speaker 103 But I got to tell you, last year was my worst year ever. And I'm pretty sure Barkley beat me last year.

Speaker 104 Yeah,

Speaker 28 what's that like for Charles Barkley? Because I assume that everybody else that competes in the tournament has that same thought. It's like,

Speaker 28 I can't lose to this guy.

Speaker 28 Does he take that personally?

Speaker 103 By the way, I don't, I like, Charles and I are friends, man. I'm not trying to diss him.

Speaker 103 And he grinds it, you know, as fun as he is to be around and watch him and play.

Speaker 103 It's serious. I don't know if you guys, have you you guys talked to him.

Speaker 8 No, you haven't had him on yet.

Speaker 69 You have him streamed guests, yeah.

Speaker 28 I mean, I appreciate the fact that he loves golf so much, and he's been, you know, very, very public about his struggles with his own swing and how he's been.

Speaker 103 But you know what it is. You know what it is with his swing.
It's because I, at one time, he was like a single-digit handicap, and it's a mental hitch with him, you know. Like some sports,

Speaker 103 some athletes get that. I remember

Speaker 103 Mackie, I don't know if you guys might be too young, but Mackie Sasser,

Speaker 103 he was a catcher and he had a hitch when he threw it back. Chuck Knobloch.
Chuck Knoblock.

Speaker 13 Yep.

Speaker 103 He had a hitch when he threw it to first. And

Speaker 103 he got this mental hitch.

Speaker 103 You know, you've seen it, right? Where he freezes and then goes.

Speaker 103 But the weird thing is on the range, he doesn't do it.

Speaker 36 Wow.

Speaker 103 Yeah, it's a smooth swing on the range. And he got out there.
But now,

Speaker 103 somehow, because everybody tried to cure him. Hank Haney tried to cure him, you know, or he went to hypnotists.
He went to everything.

Speaker 103 He was there one year at the tournament, and he played with glasses that had tape over him.

Speaker 36 Like a horse.

Speaker 36 A horse of blinders.

Speaker 103 Yeah. Yeah.
So he couldn't see the ball.

Speaker 103 So his mind wasn't on the ball, you know.

Speaker 103 He tried so much. The hitch is gone now.

Speaker 104 Wow. We'll say that.

Speaker 103 The hitch is gone. So now he didn't come, you know, he came like

Speaker 103 he beat like 10 or 12 people this year, you know, which he normally never does.

Speaker 104 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 28 So, what's that like for you as an amateur golfer and for some of the other guys out there when you know you're in a tournament environment and there are fans nearby, and they have fans that are lined up like next to where you're going to be hitting your shot, like it's on the PGA tour, and they're in no danger whatsoever.

Speaker 28 But I have to imagine that thought creeps into your head: these people are a little bit too close. They think I'm much better than I am at golf.

Speaker 36 Well,

Speaker 103 they don't get that close for us, but

Speaker 103 I'll be honest with you. I've This was the first, probably the first tournament in a long time that I haven't hit somebody.

Speaker 103 I'm not kidding.

Speaker 103 I mean, it's not funny. I put a woman in the hospital three years ago.

Speaker 103 It was the second hole, and I was,

Speaker 103 I don't know, 140 yards out and... 150, I don't know.
I hit a nine iron and I kind of thinned it a little so it wasn't going that high. And it was going, people were by the green.

Speaker 103 And we yelled for we yelled it loud and then i didn't know what happened we yelled for they scattered and then we just me and my catty were walking up to our ball and when we got there there was a woman on the ground and people were around her saying uh stay awake patty stay awake they were telling her to stay awake i mean she was almost unconscious she got hit right here oh my god and um

Speaker 103 they the the paramedics came they had to take her to the hospital the the you know It wasn't like she was, it was life-threatening because when she was on the ground,

Speaker 103 you know, her friends came around and I came by and I said, Oh my God, I'm so sorry, you know, but she was flat on her back and she looked up and said, Can you take a picture with me?

Speaker 103 And I laid on the grass and took a picture flat on her back.

Speaker 88 Yeah, that's fantastic.

Speaker 103 I had to, you know, I was, I felt so bad.

Speaker 103 I sent her stuff, I sent her a certificate for the the spa and everything and and i saw her next year next year she came back but boy yeah they don't stand as close as they do in a pga but i but i have whacked people man that's funny um all right so another before we talk about acting and what you got going on right now another sports topic you're a diehard jets fan um sorry about that

Speaker 103 have you have you kept up at all with what your quarterback's been into the last few days no but my i bet my kids would know but they're sleeping right now why What happened?

Speaker 79 Well, there's a story out there that your quarterback Zach Wilson, so it goes that his ex-girlfriend from college is now dating his best friend from college.

Speaker 78 And then

Speaker 61 people were making fun of their relationship. And the ex-girlfriend came out and said that Zach Wilson actually slept with his mom's best friend.

Speaker 30 So it's quite the story.

Speaker 4 It's quite, it's all alleged, but it's quite the story.

Speaker 79 I got to think, though, now that you know this instant reaction, you got to think like this is good for the Jets because PFT said it perfectly

Speaker 61 two shows ago when you went from Sam Darnold having mono, which is the lamest

Speaker 2 controversy ever, to now your quarterback is potentially having sex with his mom's best friend.

Speaker 103 So it's good because

Speaker 103 it gives him some credit, some coolness.

Speaker 28 Yeah, I think in the locker room, you have to have like a little more, like it's one of those situations where you see Zach Wilson.

Speaker 103 He looks like he's 17 years old right yeah he looks like a kid and now you see him and you're like i didn't know he had that in him yeah like good good for him there's something about that guy that i like now um yeah look i like him even if even if he was a virgin i would like him yeah uh i just want him to i just want him to play well man everybody you know i became a jet fan after 69 which was when they won the last time they won so it's been a long long time man and and i passed it down to my kids, and they are even more fanatic than I am.

Speaker 103 You know,

Speaker 103 I have twin boys.

Speaker 103 And, I mean, they do the jerseys, everything before every game. They have, I remember they were like,

Speaker 103 I don't know how much of a story you want now, but

Speaker 103 they were like 13 years old. And we were watching.
It was Jets against Miami. And

Speaker 103 you could tell that. the Jets were going to blow this game.
You could just feel it. And

Speaker 103 they had a lead. And we were watching right here in my office, right behind me.

Speaker 103 And I knew if they lost this game, these boys were going to have a hard time with it. And I told them, I warned them, I said, listen, I don't want any tantrums.

Speaker 103 If this goes the wrong way, I want no tantrums. Sure enough, last play of the game, boom, they lost.

Speaker 103 They both hit the floor. Like they both went.
prone on the floor, hands like this. And I stood up and I yelled.
I said, what did I tell you? What did I tell you guys? And they wouldn't move.

Speaker 103 They wouldn't move. I couldn't take it.
So I had to leave. I left the office.

Speaker 103 I left this room right here I came back 45 minutes later they were in the same exact spot yeah

Speaker 103 they had fallen asleep they fell asleep like that with their jerseys on and down so we we live and die by that you know um and we're crossing our fingers because we had a good draft but

Speaker 103 you never can tell

Speaker 103 I feel like the Jets have won an offseason like five out of the last six years and uh yes that never really does anything yes but but but you know we'll we'll never give up. I'm a Yankee fan, too.

Speaker 103 I grew up in Queens, New York, so I should be a Yankee, a Jet Met fan, but for some reason, my older brothers started rooting for the Yankees, so I rooted for the Yankees too. So

Speaker 103 I have experienced winning.

Speaker 65 Yeah, that's nice.

Speaker 4 Yeah, there's a lot of, because we're based in New York now, and there's a lot of, I feel like the Jets, Yankee fans get a lot of shit because it's like that, those don't go together.

Speaker 61 Like you, one side of you is an all-time winner and one side of you is an all-time loser.

Speaker 20 It's got to be weird.

Speaker 61 Like different seasons, like you know what it's like to be the cock of the walk and then you also know what it's like to be just the saddest franchise ever.

Speaker 103 It's like being an actor.

Speaker 103 You love yourself and hate yourself at the same time. You know, Sandler, Adam Sandler is a Yankee Jet also, and we have that in common.

Speaker 37 Yeah.

Speaker 28 If you could look back at your fandom rooting for the Jets, what is the happiest you've ever been? Is it the Sanchez years?

Speaker 103 Well, I go back even further than that. When they were 10-0, I don't know.

Speaker 103 I mean, this is, again, you guys might be too young, but Ken O'Brien was their quarterback, and they went 10-0 to start the season.

Speaker 103 And boy,

Speaker 103 we were loving that. But then they lost the last six games, but they made the playoffs anyway.

Speaker 103 They lost the first round and then won the second. Yeah.

Speaker 103 I mean, yeah, the two years that Sanchez, you know, they were in the playoffs and they got to the championship game, right?

Speaker 59 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 104 So that was close.

Speaker 103 That was close enough.

Speaker 86 It's all sadness, though.

Speaker 45 It's okay.

Speaker 28 I do think there's something about rooting for a bad team, though, that, you know, like, I don't know if it builds character, if that's the right thing to say, but it gives you a little like spice in your life.

Speaker 28 You can't get too comfortable, you know? Like, it's good to have something that you're always mildly annoyed with.

Speaker 103 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. i used to i i compare it to again i'm not gonna toot my own horn here but i got nominated for the emmy

Speaker 103 uh

Speaker 103 four times in a row i didn't win i won on my fourth try

Speaker 103 but every time every year it was exactly what i needed i got nominated so i got there and i got the attention of being nominated but i lost and i need to feel like a loser also you know so that's kind of like what it is you know you you want to win a little, but if you win it all, then what?

Speaker 103 Right.

Speaker 104 You know, yeah, right.

Speaker 60 And then when you lose, yeah, no, it's true.

Speaker 61 Like the teams that win, this is actually just sad because now we're just like PFT's a Washington football fan.

Speaker 30 I'm a Bears fan.

Speaker 61 Like, we're just, we're just now excusing away our terrible franchises where it's like, yeah, we actually, you know what?

Speaker 34 It's better not to win.

Speaker 65 It is good. Because, like, what if you win and then you lose the next year?

Speaker 42 That would suck so much.

Speaker 59 Like, I'd rather just never win.

Speaker 103 Well, but also, like, my, my, one of my good friends here is a Patriot fan. And I asked him, what, I mean, is it fun for you? Because you just win all the time.

Speaker 103 And then, so what's the big deal if you win another one?

Speaker 97 Yep. Yeah.

Speaker 28 Also, having expectations sucks. Like, I prefer to just have like zero, zero to look forward to.
And then any

Speaker 28 if we go seven and nine, or I guess seven and ten now, I'm ecstatic. I'm like, what a season.
That's incredible.

Speaker 103 Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, you want to be the underdog.

Speaker 104 I always like being the underdog. Yeah.

Speaker 103 And I always tell, whenever anybody's coming to see me perform or whatever i just tell them lower your expectations man and then you'd rather you'd rather go you know perform above what they were expecting it's like a movie when you go to see a movie uh and it's hyped up and it's got a hundred percent on rotten tomatoes it never lives up to it right you get in the when you when you have when it's overhyped it can never live up to it so i like to under hype everything so that's why when everybody's talking about the jets and the draft they had and how oh this year is going to be good i'm like calm down, man.

Speaker 104 Yeah. Calm down.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 103 We've been there before, but, but, but, you know, listen,

Speaker 103 my hopes are up a little bit this year.

Speaker 60 Yeah. They, yeah, they should be.

Speaker 103 Especially now that I heard about the quarterbacks.

Speaker 8 Yes.

Speaker 59 Yes.

Speaker 51 Your sons definitely have heard of that.

Speaker 40 So you've done everything in your career.

Speaker 79 Obviously, everybody loves Raymond. You know, is it weird having that, like, even though it's been so long, having that be the thing that everyone remembers you first by?

Speaker 61 Because you have had such great roles in a lot of of different things and done so many different things.

Speaker 34 I would imagine, like, you were, you're actually kind of genius to have your name be Ray in the show so that it can, you know, it blends in real life where people aren't calling you some fake name all the time.

Speaker 103 Right, right. I didn't want that title, though.
I definitely,

Speaker 13 uh,

Speaker 103 if we're going to talk about that, I, I fought against that title for the show. I want my manager told me, you got to have your name in it because just for the reason you said,

Speaker 103 but I, there's no way I wanted everybody who loves Raymond. The title came about by, my brother was a New York police officer, you know, and

Speaker 103 he was,

Speaker 103 he wasn't jealous of me, but he would kind of jokingly, you know, make fun of my life compared to his life.

Speaker 103 And

Speaker 103 he would come in and see, you know,

Speaker 103 whatever, some award I got or whatever.

Speaker 103 And he would say, look at this. I go to work and

Speaker 103 people shoot at me, people spit at me, and Raymond goes to work and everybody loves Raymond. So that's an exact quote from my brother.
And when I told the guy that

Speaker 103 was writing it with me,

Speaker 103 he said, well, we got to put that in. We'll use that as a title.
And I said, I don't want that as a title, man. I'm never going to.
be able to live that down.

Speaker 103 Who wants, you know, as a comedian, you're kind of

Speaker 103 self-deprecating anyway. You don't want to put that focus on yourself.
And he said, ah, we'll use it as a working title. That's all.
When it comes time, we'll figure out what title we want.

Speaker 103 And then CBS, you know, saw it as the working title and they fell in love with it. And then I had to try to convince,

Speaker 103 you know, Les Moonvez at the time not to use that as a title. And he said, come up with 10, come up with 10 different titles and I'll I'll test them.
That's what they do.

Speaker 103 They test them, you know, in front of an audience, which is the worst thing.

Speaker 103 And I still have the paper. My manager has the paper.
I came up with the lamest sounding titles. Like

Speaker 103 one was,

Speaker 103 you know,

Speaker 103 that Raymond guy.

Speaker 103 One was Um Raymond, U-M,

Speaker 13 Raymond.

Speaker 36 Um, Raymond.

Speaker 103 And I had all these titles and he tested them. And he says, everybody loves Raymond.
Test it the best. And I was like, oh, well, that's why we shouldn't use it.

Speaker 103 And listen, I'm like, I can't complain about it. It's done good by me.
But, you know, you're right, though. Like on the golf course, it's all we love you.

Speaker 13 Everybody loves you.

Speaker 104 Yeah.

Speaker 79 Yeah. If it was, if your name was like Tony in it, it would be weird because then everyone would be, you know, saying your character's name and not your real name.

Speaker 2 So you've kind of done a perfect job on that.

Speaker 103 Yeah. Yeah.
And yes,

Speaker 103 they do remember me for that role.

Speaker 103 And it was not easy when it was over to find other roles, but little by little, it was like baby steps. You know, I had to do one

Speaker 103 dramedy first, you know, and then another one. And then I had to create my own show.

Speaker 103 And

Speaker 103 I got lucky. The biggest

Speaker 103 move to take me away from that

Speaker 103 people remembering by that was when I got on the show called vinyl. I don't know if you guys saw vinyl.
It was a show about rock and roll in the 70s. And Scorsese, I sent a tape in to audition

Speaker 103 and Scorsese had never seen me. This was the cool thing.
He told my agent, he goes, I don't know who this guy is.

Speaker 103 Not that he didn't watch the show, he never even heard of me,

Speaker 103 which ended up being a blessing because

Speaker 103 he didn't have that character in his head that people had seen for nine years, you know? Yeah.

Speaker 103 He cast me in that, and this show vinyl. And then he cast me in the Irishman.
So

Speaker 103 that was like the big move, you know, for people to see me as something different, at least.

Speaker 104 It's interesting.

Speaker 28 Like, Scorsese thinks that he discovered you.

Speaker 68 I'll give him that.

Speaker 29 Pluck this guy out of obscurity.

Speaker 79 You also, I feel like Scorsese was like, wait, he's an Italian guy from New York?

Speaker 60 Okay, I could use him.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 103 And what happens is when you get in his little Rolodex,

Speaker 103 he uses you then again, you know?

Speaker 104 So,

Speaker 103 I mean, when I did the show vinyl, I put myself on tape and we sent it to him. So he saw me doing the character and he said, yeah, that's what I want.

Speaker 103 That's the character I want. But then when he cast me in the Irishman, he just cast me as this role.
He said, let's give it to Ray.

Speaker 103 And that was even more terrifying for me because he hadn't seen me do that role. And now I got to,

Speaker 103 you know, I don't know if I'm doing it right. I got to perform with De Niro and Pacino.
And

Speaker 103 that was the most frightening part of my career when I, the first couple of days on that movie.

Speaker 28 Yeah, yeah. One thing that's always fascinated me about sitcoms, especially of the the 80s and 90s, is the laugh track or the live studio audience that you're performing in front of.

Speaker 28 Because I feel like sometimes if it's a live studio audience, you have a good one, you have a bad one.

Speaker 28 And if it's a good live studio audience, sometimes it can be too good and so good that it's bad because they laugh at too much and they throw off the pacing.

Speaker 103 It sounds like a laugh track almost.

Speaker 55 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 28 So what was that like when you were taping? Like, would the studio audience, would you prefer to tape in front of the studio audience or would you prefer to use the laugh track?

Speaker 103 Well, we didn't. The thing with us was when we started, nobody knew who I was, and you're filming in front of a live audience, and you know, it's in it's in Burbank, and they have to,

Speaker 103 you know, once you become popular, then people are dying to come watch the show. But in the beginning, nobody's coming to a show that they've never heard of, and they have to round up the audience.

Speaker 103 And this is not a joke, they got people from

Speaker 103 rehab clinics, like like and senior citizens, and they would kind of bust them in. And they got paid.
People got paid to come to the show, you know. 50 bucks, I think, is what they used to get.

Speaker 103 So, those first

Speaker 103 bunch of episodes

Speaker 103 were

Speaker 103 not good as far as audience reaction.

Speaker 104 Right.

Speaker 103 Because our show was based on character, you know, when the mother comes in the room and

Speaker 103 she shouldn't be there, blah, blah, blah. But you have to know the character to know that.
And in the first few episodes, nobody knows anybody.

Speaker 103 So we were like having to just trust that the material was funny. I think they might have sweetened those first couple, like the first half a year or so.

Speaker 103 And then, once the show aired, people saw the characters and were familiar with them. The audiences started to get a little better, a little better.
And then, when somebody came in a room,

Speaker 103 the tension was there already.

Speaker 103 And after a while,

Speaker 103 we didn't have a laugh track. track, and people would accuse us of using a laugh track, but it wasn't because they

Speaker 103 just loved the characters and they were laughing a lot. Sometimes they laughed, yeah.
I mean, it's hate, you hate to say they laugh too much, uh, but but sometimes, yeah, I know what you're saying.

Speaker 103 It would sound like you were goosing it, you know, with the laugh track, but we weren't.

Speaker 4 Yeah,

Speaker 79 so, so, you, like I said, you've done everything.

Speaker 34 You know, I loved you in the big sick, you've hosted SNL, you know, you've you've done a ton of, you know, you've done commercials, movies, everything.

Speaker 79 What's your favorite thing that you've ever done that maybe people wouldn't think of?

Speaker 20 Like that thing that you look back and you're like, maybe it wasn't the most popular thing, but it was the thing that you look back and you're like, that was the most fun.

Speaker 103 It's probably a couple of them. One is a movie called Paddleton.

Speaker 103 Yeah, don't worry.

Speaker 36 Yeah, no, nope, nope.

Speaker 88 I'm not even going to pretend.

Speaker 51 I heard of vinyl.

Speaker 47 I hadn't watched it, but I heard of vinyl.

Speaker 8 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 103 Vinyl's on the list. Vinyl's on the list because vinyl was, I mean,

Speaker 103 Scorsese directed the pilot. Mick Jagger produced it.

Speaker 103 It was about the 70s, rock and roll. You know,

Speaker 103 we were record company guys, Bobby Connavali, myself, and we got to do scenes.

Speaker 103 You know, it was like going back in time. You're doing scenes with actors who are playing David Bowie, Elvis Presley.

Speaker 103 I got to have a threesome. I had a threesome.

Speaker 8 Congrats. Hell yes.

Speaker 103 Yeah. Where's that going to happen?

Speaker 103 I mean, it's make-believe, but it's still, you know, there's not many chances. It's funny because Bobby Cannaval, I don't know if you know who Bobby Cannavali is, you know, Cannaval?

Speaker 36 Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 103 Yeah. He's kind of a stud, you know.
And

Speaker 103 we became friends. And I remember that week that I was filming that scene.
And I asked him, I said,

Speaker 103 this is the one time I got pissed off at him. I asked him and i said uh how many have you how many threesomes have you had in your life and he went

Speaker 103 he actually had to think about it

Speaker 103 which killed me and because that's one number i would know exactly you know it's like it's like how many times i got struck by lightning i would know the exact number yes um and and then i remember when uh

Speaker 103 when I was filming it. By the way, it sounds more fun than it was.
It was quick and

Speaker 103 very fast scene, but you know, you wear the sock, you know, you wear the sock.

Speaker 103 You're not naked, you know.

Speaker 103 And I remember Bobby Cannavali did a full frontal naked scene in Boardwalk Empire.

Speaker 103 And

Speaker 103 when I was filming this three, so I'm wearing the sock, and in between takes, Cannavale comes over to me and says,

Speaker 103 because he's in the scene, he comes in the scene later, you know, and he goes, he goes, bro,

Speaker 103 you don't got to wear that for me. You don't got to wear it.
And I don't wear it for me.

Speaker 103 I go, I'm not wearing it for you.

Speaker 104 He goes, because I don't wear it when I do my new things.

Speaker 103 And I go, I've seen Boardwalk Empire. I know why you don't wear it.

Speaker 103 I'm going to wear mine.

Speaker 36 Yeah,

Speaker 28 that's got to be a very awkward thing to do, is like just sex scenes in general. Because

Speaker 28 for everything I've read, it doesn't, you know, it's not an erotic experience for anybody involved.

Speaker 103 no no it's nothing i mean it's weird you got the you got the you know the the teamster boom guy right there with the thing and uh

Speaker 103 but you know um

Speaker 103 for a for a guy like me though it doesn't suck you know yeah yeah

Speaker 103 i remember my wife uh

Speaker 103 my wife made me explain to her uh

Speaker 103 She was telling me about the scene, you know, when I did this.

Speaker 103 I go, it's nothing. I mean, it's over in a second of there's a woman sitting on your lap and there's another, but it was over in a second.
And then I asked her, she flew home that, uh,

Speaker 103 that day when I was doing it. And I said,

Speaker 103 How was your flight? She said,

Speaker 103 it was okay. This guy sat next to me.
He was an actor. I gave, he gave me his card.
And I said, what? What do you mean he gave you his card? She goes, he knew that you were my husband. So he was gay.

Speaker 103 I go, well, wait a minute. Well, who was he? How old was he? He was in his 30s.
So now I'm getting a little, you know, pissed off. And

Speaker 103 well, what do you give him his card for? What do you give you his card for? Because I guess he wants it, whatever.

Speaker 103 And I go, what was his name? And she was getting frustrated. And I go, she goes, I don't know.
I go, you don't know his name. And she goes, she looks at me.

Speaker 103 She goes, what was the name of the girl that sat on your cock?

Speaker 103 By the way, I'm sorry. Can we say whatever?

Speaker 36 Yes, you can say whatever you want. Yes.
Okay.

Speaker 85 That's a great story.

Speaker 58 Geez.

Speaker 103 But anyway, I would have to pick vinyl and Paddleton probably were the two favorite things. Paddleton was a movie that Mark Duplas,

Speaker 103 I don't want to say wrote, but he wrote the outline.

Speaker 103 It was an improv movie. So he would write the outline for each scene, but no dialogue.

Speaker 103 And we would just know what the scene had to be. And

Speaker 103 it was up to us to improv it. And it came out pretty good.

Speaker 103 People who do see it like it, but not many people have seen it.

Speaker 8 Okay, so you want to watch it.

Speaker 49 So, what's next for you?

Speaker 28 What are you working on right now?

Speaker 103 I actually just directed a movie that I wrote, and it was at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Speaker 103 It's called Somewhere in Queens.

Speaker 103 I just gave you a quick summary of the movie. My son,

Speaker 103 he's six foot five, my son. He played basketball in high school with the Holiday brothers.

Speaker 103 You know, Drew, yeah, Drew was just ahead of him. He actually played with Aaron, who are both in, well, you know, Drew's in the pros, and so is Aaron.
Aaron's on Philadelphia, I think.

Speaker 103 But I used to get a kick out of going watching him play. My son, and you know, he was six foot five, so they made him a center because he was the tallest.
And when that ended,

Speaker 103 I knew he wasn't going to play in college because he didn't, they taught him how to be a center and he had no guard skills. And that's, you know, in college, it's six foot five, you're a guard.
Yeah.

Speaker 103 So his career was ending.

Speaker 104 Yeah.

Speaker 103 And

Speaker 103 I got sad, man, because I used to like watching him. And I used to, I used to get attention just sitting in the stands.
And all this excitement was going to end.

Speaker 103 It was pretty pathetic, actually, because I don't get enough attention. I have to,

Speaker 103 I need this also. But

Speaker 103 I just thought, what if this was a poor schlub, a poor working class guy from Queens, and his only his only attention he ever got in life was living vicariously through his son, and that came to an end.

Speaker 103 So that's kind of what the movie's about. And it did well at the Tribeca Film Festival.
So now we're trying to get it into theaters and we'll see how it goes, you know?

Speaker 3 I love it.

Speaker 60 I love it.

Speaker 105 And then whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boar's Head is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 105 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 105 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, Hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 105 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a homegating celebration.

Speaker 105 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd.

Speaker 103 Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905 appreciate you coming on i also saw are you playing jim valvano coming up as well because that's the perfect like i don't know who it would i think you're the only person like if you close your eyes you're like who could play jim valvano oh it's it's ray romano like he's perfect for it so is that coming soon man i hope so because i i tried to get this going like 10 years ago um you know i watched the documentary survive in advance i don't know if you've seen this documentary yep it's It's unbelievable.

Speaker 103 I lose it every time. I cry like a baby every time I watch it.

Speaker 103 And yeah, Velvano, you know, he's from Queens.

Speaker 103 If he wasn't a coach, he would have been some kind of entertainer, performer, comedian, maybe. He's got that persona.
He's got that

Speaker 103 style and the way he motivates people and everybody. So I tried to get it going 10 years ago and it just fell through.
And just recently, another producer came in and said he wanted to try it.

Speaker 103 And he has the blessing of the family. I actually spoke to the daughters, to Jim Volvano's daughters.

Speaker 103 And we have a writer now writing a script, man. I hope it, I really hope it does.
I mean, how old can I be and play him? You know,

Speaker 103 he passed away when he was 48 years old and he won the tournament when he was 38.

Speaker 103 So

Speaker 79 that would be the, yeah, if I'm ever going to do a biopic, it would be Jim Volvano and it would be an honor you know yeah you you'd be perfect for it um well we appreciate you coming on and you we're gonna extend the invite you're recurring guests now so you have to come on whenever we ask but we also will in return let you come on anytime you want to vent about the jets so anytime you want to just come on and tell us how the jets are killing my kids yeah

Speaker 2 yes we we we are we're sad sports fans as well and our the pretty much the entire basis of our show is that we care too much about sports sports when we know ultimately it means nothing.

Speaker 2 So it is the perfect place to just motherfuck the Jets whenever you want to.

Speaker 103 Well, I won't do that, but I'll come on and talk. And my kids know,

Speaker 103 I mean, know every position, every player, every player that's going to be on the team, and they'll have a lot of questions too.

Speaker 103 But I'd love to. I'd love to do it.
How about I come on when they're winning?

Speaker 60 Yeah, come on when they're winning in 2030.

Speaker 62 And yeah, that will be, you'll be dead.

Speaker 4 But do do us a favor, and you got to, when your kids do wake up, because I know you're out in California, just be like, hey, you heard Zach Wilson's got that dog in him.

Speaker 5 And they'll be like, oh, damn, you heard?

Speaker 87 That's awesome.

Speaker 103 Yeah, no, they definitely heard about it. I don't know why they wouldn't tell me about it.
Maybe it's a weird thing to tell your father about.

Speaker 9 Yeah, probably.

Speaker 103 Hey, is this

Speaker 103 live, right?

Speaker 104 No, this isn't live.

Speaker 59 No.

Speaker 103 Okay, so you can fix all this, right?

Speaker 104 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 103 Tighten it up, man, because I ramble on a little bit.

Speaker 67 No, this is perfect.

Speaker 58 Yeah.

Speaker 28 Also tell your kids when they wake up that we asked for them to come on the show right now, but they were sleeping in, so they couldn't make it on the show. Yeah, just

Speaker 36 a little bit.

Speaker 103 They wake up at the crack of noon.

Speaker 30 Tell them they missed their opportunity to come on pardon my take.

Speaker 3 But again, the guys were asking about you.

Speaker 103 I will tell you, they strongly told me that I have to do the show.

Speaker 99 I love it.

Speaker 36 I love it. Perfect.

Speaker 17 Well, thank you so much, Ray.

Speaker 32 We really appreciate it.

Speaker 4 If you're ever back in New York, you know, come by and do it.

Speaker 93 Let's do it in person for sure.

Speaker 103 I am in New York.

Speaker 104 Where are you guys? We're Redtown.

Speaker 43 Yeah, we're right across from Madison Square Garden.

Speaker 103 Yeah, I have an apartment in the West Village, so we get there a lot.

Speaker 36 Okay, nice.

Speaker 48 Let's do it.

Speaker 93 Yeah, let's do it in person. Let's make it official.

Speaker 103 We're going to the Jersey Shore in two weeks.

Speaker 28 There you go. I'm in love with the shore.
Where are you going?

Speaker 103 We go to LBI. We go to LBI every year, you know, Long Beach Island.

Speaker 28 I do. I'm familiar with it.
Yeah, I recently fell in love with the shore.

Speaker 28 I didn't understand what it was about because I grew up down in D.C. where we would, you know, we had our Eastern Shore thing.

Speaker 28 But I get the hype behind the Jersey Shore now.

Speaker 103 Oh, I miss it. I miss, I like it better than the West Coast.
I'll tell you that.

Speaker 104 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 103 The West Coast shore. I'm nothing against the West Coast.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 92 All right.

Speaker 79 Well, thanks so much, Ray. We appreciate it.

Speaker 13 All right. Thanks, man.

Speaker 100 We drove 1,700 miles of old Highway 61, the whole country top to bottom, just to prove one thing. Comfort food can make anywhere home.

Speaker 100 Crave New World makes the classics you grew up with cleaned up for right now. High protein, no fake stuff, no shortcuts.

Speaker 100 Bison meatloaf, chicken enchiladas, turkey lasagna, the kind of meals that taste like Saturday night, even on a Tuesday. Crave New World.
Find it in Kroger Isles this October.

Speaker 100 The road trip might be over, but dinner's just getting good.

Speaker 24 Okay, let's do Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 21 We're gonna do the Mount Rushmore spoilers, so there is a spoiler alert.

Speaker 98 If you

Speaker 36 win.

Speaker 95 Yeah, Well, congratulations to us on the last Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 3 Nice dub for us.

Speaker 20 Team CatCom.

Speaker 51 Com and Team CatCom dub.

Speaker 58 Yep.

Speaker 3 After Hank tried to

Speaker 56 besmirch ACDC, I think he came around and realized how wrong his take was.

Speaker 84 Yeah. Shout out to me, Hand Up for being accountable.

Speaker 36 I think it's true.

Speaker 28 It's just a lesson. I think that if we stay positive and encourage each other's choices, I think that actually makes your score go up because it can backfire like ACDC.

Speaker 49 Yeah.

Speaker 34 We just walk into a trap.

Speaker 84 Don't tell me how to run my team, please.

Speaker 36 Oh, shut the fuck up, man. Oh, damn.

Speaker 58 Okay.

Speaker 47 Billy, how you feeling?

Speaker 96 Good. I mean, playing that ACDC just locked it up.

Speaker 58 Duh, dude.

Speaker 85 I listened to ACDC yesterday, and I was just like, this fucking band ruled.

Speaker 28 The crazy thing is, we left off probably 10 songs that could also qualify as kicking it up a notch. Yeah.

Speaker 88 But this isn't about us.

Speaker 36 We're not trying to run up a score here.

Speaker 28 Jake, I want you to walk me through here. How did the talking and discussion go with Billy before today's Mount Rushmore?

Speaker 80 I'll be honest, some of it was my fault because I'm not good at movies and TV shows, so he said things that I had no idea what he was talking about.

Speaker 51 So, he spoiled it for you, yeah.

Speaker 80 But, like, realistically, I wasn't going to go back and watch any of these things. So, right, right.
You've seen it with Hootie and the Blowfish. I'm just not good at entertainment.

Speaker 46 Entertainment in general. Yeah.

Speaker 52 He doesn't know who Hootie is.

Speaker 94 Oh, I know. Yeah.

Speaker 35 That was like two years ago. Yeah, that was a while ago.

Speaker 20 Okay.

Speaker 6 So, Mount Rushmore, spoilers.

Speaker 2 Who wants to go first?

Speaker 1 Or should we use the ping-pong to Let's do a ball.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Okay.

Speaker 66 So closest to the ball decides

Speaker 51 the order.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 56 What's your team number?

Speaker 56 69.

Speaker 56 You say 69?

Speaker 96 69. Okay.

Speaker 28 What's yours? What's yours?

Speaker 41 What's yours? Well, do we have to do a ping-pong ball to decide?

Speaker 84 Well, you guys won. I feel like golf rules, you guys should have the honors.

Speaker 36 Oh, no, no, no.

Speaker 41 You, please, please.

Speaker 47 How about this rule first?

Speaker 28 You can't pick within 20 points, 20 numbers of anybody else in the group.

Speaker 76 I like it. I like it.

Speaker 6 Our number's 22.

Speaker 84 40.

Speaker 36 Okay. Okay.

Speaker 51 Well, that's 42.

Speaker 51 Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 97 42.

Speaker 36 Oh, wait.

Speaker 62 30's got to go back in.

Speaker 71 That's a number we can. That would have been ours, yeah.

Speaker 96 Oh, we got everything

Speaker 68 over 69.

Speaker 28 Yeah, you have 31.

Speaker 84 Yeah, I have the worst number.

Speaker 28 I think we have the best.

Speaker 19 Is it on, Billy? Can you turn on?

Speaker 68 Yeah.

Speaker 55 Oh, here it is.

Speaker 84 That was bad.

Speaker 92 No, that's fine.

Speaker 80 Wait, it's not moving.

Speaker 9 Oh, it took a while.

Speaker 68 There it is.

Speaker 28 It took a while to like Jake said Bombsheed River.

Speaker 9 Damn it.

Speaker 77 Hank, your team decides the order.

Speaker 84 We will go first.

Speaker 60 Okay.

Speaker 11 Let's go first, Billy.

Speaker 77 Now, the only rule we're going to play with is you have to have seen the whole show?

Speaker 94 No.

Speaker 36 Oh.

Speaker 37 Okay.

Speaker 84 I mean, spoilers is a very broad movie.

Speaker 36 Yeah, it's not just about movies.

Speaker 8 Is it just movies and movies? No, movies.

Speaker 51 Yeah, whatever you want. No, no, it could be anything.

Speaker 44 But yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 93 What's your first pick?

Speaker 84 1-1. I'm sure this was everyone's 1-1.
R.I.P. My dog, Tony Stark.

Speaker 28 Yeah, we had that.

Speaker 84 Shady McCoy, Spoiled Avengers, probably like the biggest movie of all time.

Speaker 36 Everyone was freaking out.

Speaker 84 Or no, it wasn't whatever the one before Endgame, but he

Speaker 84 everyone was like super, super, like, no one spoiled it. Like, there was like whatever, like, two weeks period where no one could say anything.
And then he went to the movie and just tweeted it out.

Speaker 15 And the worst part was he did it like on like, it was like a Tuesday afternoon.

Speaker 23 He literally went and saw it with like his kid.

Speaker 28 He went to the sneak preview of it. Yeah.
And the day that it was released, I think, I want to say he went on a Thursday night and the main release was on Friday.

Speaker 28 And then he spoiled it during the day on Friday. Just all caps.

Speaker 56 R.I.P., my dog's Tony Stark.

Speaker 55 Yeah, expelled it wrong.

Speaker 36 Yeah, it's like, fuck.

Speaker 22 Killer.

Speaker 43 Because it's also like that that spoiler came from such a rate.

Speaker 63 Like, no one thought, like, ooh, you know, when you want to go see some big movie, you're like, all right, I'm not going to talk to anyone.

Speaker 24 No one thought LaShawn McCoy was going to fucking speak.

Speaker 84 Yeah, and like all the nerds probably were like, all right, you know, I'm going to mute these words.

Speaker 11 Because he spelled it wrong.

Speaker 84 So it's like, you know, if you were like a real freak nerd that like really didn't want to get spoiled, you could mute the words, you can mute the hashtags.

Speaker 84 He spelt it like with an E, like Tony Stark. Yeah.
And like, so it went through all the algorithms, all the muted words.

Speaker 51 Yep.

Speaker 28 It's actually a great spoiler. Like, that's on the Mount Rushmore of event, like spoiling events too.

Speaker 82 Yes.

Speaker 21 Yes.

Speaker 32 Okay. Your guys' first pick.

Speaker 92 Go for it.

Speaker 80 Darth Vader's Luke Skywalker's father.

Speaker 59 Okay.

Speaker 47 All right. Nice.
It's a good pick.

Speaker 7 We had that as well.

Speaker 20 All right.

Speaker 32 Our first pick will go with

Speaker 68 Hank.

Speaker 2 Tony killed Christopher.

Speaker 71 So you knew that. You had that as well.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 66 you did know that, right?

Speaker 84 Yeah, because of you guys. You ruined the show for me.
You ruined the show for listeners. I think we saw someone recently that was like, oh, you know, I was, oh, no, it was Evan was telling us.

Speaker 84 He was like, had to like, I was watching Sopranos and listening to the show. I had to like stop listening to the show.
So you actually lost us probably listeners, revenue, all that stuff.

Speaker 92 Yeah, probably. Just for your

Speaker 51 little jokes.

Speaker 28 Worth it. I guess money is not, it's not the only thing for us.
Yeah. We do it for the love of the game.

Speaker 2 I wish we had more things to spoil.

Speaker 34 We could get down to zero listeners.

Speaker 36 Just spoil everything.

Speaker 92 For the rest of our lives.

Speaker 28 He killed Christopher because Christopher was a junkie. Yep.
Got them in a car wreck. Tony gets out of the car.
He sees the child seat in the backseat. He's like, oh, no, you're a fuck up.

Speaker 28 I don't give any fucking chances.

Speaker 28 I'm going to hold your nose.

Speaker 15 Holds his nose

Speaker 85 because he's like pretty much paralyzed.

Speaker 7 He can't move.

Speaker 15 And he holds his nose in his face.

Speaker 28 And then Christopher looks at him like, you're doing this to me, Tone? You're like a father to me.

Speaker 84 How is Adriana's reaction?

Speaker 4 Oh, she was also dead because Silvio killed her.

Speaker 94 Why?

Speaker 51 Oh, she was like,

Speaker 84 I knew all this. I knew all this.

Speaker 28 Yeah, the woman that she met that she thought was her friend, she worked for the FBI.

Speaker 44 Daniela.

Speaker 15 Was it Daniela? I think so.

Speaker 7 I think it was her Danielle.

Speaker 59 Yeah.

Speaker 66 They had a great relationship. They told each other everything.

Speaker 28 And you have to wonder if Christopher was still alive,

Speaker 28 would he have stopped Bobby Bakala from getting killed in the train store?

Speaker 58 Yeah.

Speaker 28 Good question. I think you probably could.

Speaker 55 He would have been there.

Speaker 1 Good question. All right.

Speaker 2 That's our first pick.

Speaker 69 Second pick.

Speaker 28 Second pick. This is an all-time one.
Yep. Kevin Spacey is Kaiser Soze.
Yep. Usual suspects.
Usual suspects throughout the movie.

Speaker 28 He's weaving the story, trying to throw the police off the scent of Kaiser Sose, saying, Oh, we only deal with his lawyer, Mr. Kobayashi.

Speaker 28 And then it turns out the entire time that Kevin Spacey was faking, what was his name, Virgil? Yes, something. Virgil, something.

Speaker 15 The walk that he does at the end chills down your spine when you watch that for the first time.

Speaker 28 And then an all-time reveal. Joe Montaño was the cop, and then he's looking around the room after Kevin Spacey leaves, and he's like, Oh, my God.

Speaker 28 All the stuff on the wall. Yeah.
Kevin Spacey has been weaving this into a story. Yep.
Just trying to fuck with me.

Speaker 32 Slow motion drops the coffee cup.

Speaker 47 Yep.

Speaker 37 Oh, shit.

Speaker 53 Great fucking movie.

Speaker 28 Great movie. Great movie.

Speaker 36 And it's been spoiled, yeah.

Speaker 28 Now it's probably not that great of a movie, if you know that.

Speaker 62 How should we do the graphic for this?

Speaker 50 Because you don't want people to be.

Speaker 28 You should do it so it's like that sensitive content thing where you can blur it out unless somebody chooses to click on it.

Speaker 36 Ooh, yeah.

Speaker 96 What are you going to say, Billy? You might have to put like some pornography to make it actually get that.

Speaker 56 Yeah, we're going to have to put some porn on the graphic for you.

Speaker 51 Because we've seen some dick pics for it for us.

Speaker 3 Yeah, let's put your dick on it.

Speaker 15 Yeah. All right, your guys' next pick.

Speaker 28 We're going to go with something a little more recent.

Speaker 96 Because I've never seen Usual Suspect.

Speaker 82 Don't spoil

Speaker 82 it.

Speaker 84 100 years ago, Billy.

Speaker 51 Don't worry about that.

Speaker 58 Oh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 96 Yeah.

Speaker 91 Never heard about that movie. You might not have been.

Speaker 51 You probably weren't born.

Speaker 68 I wasn't.

Speaker 46 I mean, it's a fucking awesome movie.

Speaker 28 It's an all-time college movie poster up on your black storm wall.

Speaker 19 Oh, my God, Hank.

Speaker 7 You're such a

Speaker 48 it's insane.

Speaker 62 Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 96 We're going to go with the Red Wedding.

Speaker 8 Oh, okay.

Speaker 51 What about it?

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 28 It's a huge spoiler.

Speaker 56 The red wedding.

Speaker 51 Yeah. What do you mean? The twist.

Speaker 28 What's the twist?

Speaker 96 Everyone gets killed.

Speaker 41 Like who?

Speaker 96 All the people in the first season of Game of Thrones.

Speaker 28 Like who?

Speaker 55 First season.

Speaker 36 Huh?

Speaker 28 Is it the first season?

Speaker 36 Have you seen Game of Thrones?

Speaker 91 What family?

Speaker 8 Wait, have you seen Game of Thrones?

Speaker 52 Dude, the guys who are

Speaker 8 Google spoilers whose family gets murdered.

Speaker 36 Who murders who?

Speaker 85 I sort of almost, but it was a huge twist.

Speaker 8 This is our first

Speaker 28 Starks.

Speaker 63 Hold on one sec.

Speaker 15 This is our first Billy comeback episode of trying to get out of a lie. I'm excited for this.

Speaker 3 Let's see.

Speaker 96 No, look, I've watched all the Game of Thrones. It's the Starks.
It's the Starks before Ned Stark becomes a main character. Don't remember the names of them, but they go marry.

Speaker 56 Yeah, Ned Stark died in the fourth episode.

Speaker 70 I think he died in the Red Wedding.

Speaker 9 No.

Speaker 84 Ned Stark dies at the end of the first season.

Speaker 47 Yeah, he gets his head cut off.

Speaker 96 Dude, I like kept track of everything back when I cared, but then once you had a shitty ending, didn't really care.

Speaker 26 They stabbed the pregnancy.

Speaker 36 You remember the stomach?

Speaker 58 The line?

Speaker 84 No, it's the line. The Lannisters send their regards.
Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 96 Then they kill him.

Speaker 36 Yeah. Okay,

Speaker 28 that was a great night to be on Twitter because the timeline, nobody was tweeting about what happened. It was just everybody being like, oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Speaker 64 Jeff with the blood coming out of the doors.

Speaker 28 Yeah, I had no idea what was happening because I didn't watch it until two years ago. But man, now piecing it together makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 71 Yeah, that was ruled.

Speaker 84 Game of Thrones spoilers, like as I was watching, because I watched it late as well, and there was that one, everyone talked about the red wedding. So when it was happening, it was a wedding.

Speaker 84 I was like, fuck, like,

Speaker 71 this is coming.

Speaker 47 It caught me completely.

Speaker 28 Same with Josh, for even like when I was watching it, like, four years after the fact, it's still shocking when you watch it the first time.

Speaker 96 Everyone's like, oh, what episode are you on? And then if you're near that episode, they're like, oh, my God.

Speaker 51 That was true.

Speaker 49 And everyone's explaining.

Speaker 46 Yeah, they're like, oh, no, you'll understand when you get there.

Speaker 68 It's like, well, thanks. Like, what? Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 62 Good pick.

Speaker 59 Hank, go ahead.

Speaker 84 We're going to go with keeping the fridge open.

Speaker 36 Okay.

Speaker 51 A little unorthodox.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 59 A little spoiler. Got it.

Speaker 67 Okay. It's going to spoil everything.

Speaker 55 Yep. That is.

Speaker 92 That is.

Speaker 84 You're going to have a lot of stuff in there. Probably paid a lot of money for all the food,

Speaker 84 condiments.

Speaker 71 It's all spoiled.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 28 Kitchen smells.

Speaker 75 Yeah, that's good. That's good.

Speaker 84 And then we will go with Ed Snowden.

Speaker 55 Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 84 He just spoiled all of the government secrets. He did.

Speaker 49 He's a big-time spoiler. He spoiled the surveillance.

Speaker 28 The deep state.

Speaker 55 He's a big-time spoiler.

Speaker 84 Good guy or bad guy?

Speaker 28 Embrace debate. Who's to say?

Speaker 84 I'm pro-Snowden. I'm Proden.

Speaker 37 Okay.

Speaker 28 Nice. Jon Snowden.

Speaker 15 All right, your guys' next pick.

Speaker 96 The guy in the sixth sense was dead the whole time.

Speaker 98 Good pick. Good pick.

Speaker 82 We had that too. Yep, we had that too.

Speaker 28 Bruce Willis dead.

Speaker 71 Yep.

Speaker 75 Hank, do you want to say anything about that?

Speaker 85 That movie's very old.

Speaker 84 Extremely old. There's no way you've seen that movie.

Speaker 96 Well, I saw it a long time ago.

Speaker 96 I know other M-Night Shamalion twists way better.

Speaker 96 But that was probably like the Hallmark twist.

Speaker 28 Yep, it was the Hallmark twist.

Speaker 100 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 58 It was.

Speaker 28 Shocked everyone.

Speaker 15 All right, so PFT that won this one.

Speaker 68 That one.

Speaker 51 Yeah,

Speaker 95 you go for it. I'll say the last one.

Speaker 94 Okay,

Speaker 28 we're going to go with Ed Norton and Brad Pitt are the same guy throughout Fight Club.

Speaker 28 So at the end, when he shoots himself, shoots himself in the cheek. I never really understood that.

Speaker 28 He almost killed himself, shot himself in the cheek, but it ended up killing Tyler Durden, who is his alter ego. Right.

Speaker 96 We had that one too. Yeah.

Speaker 85 Is that okay in terms of how old that movie is, Hank?

Speaker 94 Yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 9 That one was a classic.

Speaker 92 Oh, okay.

Speaker 22 Oh, but Usual Suspects not.

Speaker 51 No.

Speaker 37 Okay.

Speaker 94 No.

Speaker 75 I think that's all. They're both classics.
No.

Speaker 49 They're both classic. For sure.

Speaker 97 Both definitely classics.

Speaker 84 I think Usual Spus X was good in its time period, and also Kevin Spacey. Like, come on.

Speaker 28 You think we should have protected Kevin Spacey?

Speaker 84 No, I just think, you know, you're, you know, permitted.

Speaker 51 What year was Fight Club?

Speaker 84 Probably 98, 99.

Speaker 58 99, yeah.

Speaker 41 But that movie holds up.

Speaker 51 So does the movie move?

Speaker 84 No, but the themes of that movie, you know, it's like young guys everywhere watch that movie being like, fuck

Speaker 84 you.

Speaker 51 Don't talk about Fight Club.

Speaker 84 Yeah, like usual suspects. I don't know that it holds up.
If you show, you know, Billy's and his classmates, usual suspects, they're probably going to be like Snooze Fest.

Speaker 84 If you show them Fight Club, they're going to be like, you know.

Speaker 4 Fight Club gets replayed all the time.

Speaker 84 Pops off Fighting Suspect.

Speaker 28 So it's usual suspects.

Speaker 55 Yeah, it's everywhere.

Speaker 96 I never see usual suspects.

Speaker 84 I never heard of usual suspects until I started working at Barcelona, and like Dave would talk about it all the time.

Speaker 41 It's a great movie.

Speaker 14 You mean TikTok star Jay Portnoy?

Speaker 69 Is that who you're talking about?

Speaker 20 I'm sure his TikTok co-host is huge among the pre-tik.

Speaker 84 I have no idea what usual suspects.

Speaker 94 Yeah. That's all right.

Speaker 60 All right. My last spoiler

Speaker 53 is

Speaker 61 this one sucks to say, but

Speaker 2 when it turns out to be true, I expect everyone to respect this process.

Speaker 18 And even if we don't win, we win.

Speaker 50 The Green Bay Packers won the 2023 Super Bowl.

Speaker 68 Congrats.

Speaker 84 So,

Speaker 1 spoiler for the NFL season.

Speaker 28 Aaron Rodgers, Super Bowl MVP.

Speaker 64 Yep, he did it.

Speaker 30 So when that happens,

Speaker 15 you guys will all remember that it was Team Catcom that picked that.

Speaker 96 Are you trying to to spoil them from doing that?

Speaker 36 No, it's just the fact that they're going to win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 39 They are going to win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 22 They're finally going to wait because everyone's like, oh shit, they're not going to do it because they've lost so many weapons.

Speaker 57 No, no, no. They built up on defense, and Aaron Rodgers is going to cement his legacy and they're going to win clutch.

Speaker 15 Yeah, they're going to win the Super Bowl, and that's going to be that.

Speaker 2 So that's a spoiler. Sorry to spoil it for you.
You don't even have to watch the season.

Speaker 2 Billy. Billy thinks we actually know the ending of the season.

Speaker 68 He's looking at us like, what the fuck?

Speaker 28 He's like, I was really looking forward to this.

Speaker 30 God damn it.

Speaker 39 Okay.

Speaker 83 When that does happen,

Speaker 4 I expect you guys to, even if we don't win this on the

Speaker 53 retroactively win it.

Speaker 71 Post mostly.

Speaker 11 Okay, yes.

Speaker 36 Yes.

Speaker 68 Billy. We got it.

Speaker 48 Jake.

Speaker 19 What do you want?

Speaker 80 Harry Potter defeats Voldemort.

Speaker 36 Oh!

Speaker 47 And Billy is bad.

Speaker 28 Billy's just upset because you said the word Voldemort.

Speaker 36 He's not even upset that you used the wrong word.

Speaker 55 Billy was the end spoiler, but I'm going to take a stand.

Speaker 51 Okay, I like it.

Speaker 91 The good guy defeats the bad guy.

Speaker 1 I never seen any of the Harry Potter stuff.

Speaker 28 No, never read it.

Speaker 84 The books were better. Yeah.

Speaker 70 I don't understand what's so bad about that.

Speaker 61 That's the biggest spoiler of the whole series.

Speaker 96 I know. No, no, the biggest spoiler.

Speaker 84 Snape was a good guy.

Speaker 36 That's the one.

Speaker 13 That's what I wanted to do.

Speaker 86 Do you want that to be your last pick?

Speaker 36 No, no.

Speaker 97 No, dude, that's what. Yes.

Speaker 9 Did you read them?

Speaker 80 I didn't read the books. That's all I did.

Speaker 51 That was a much bigger.

Speaker 84 Yeah, that was a much bigger spoiler. Oh.

Speaker 21 Oh, well,

Speaker 1 the hand is off the chess piece.

Speaker 51 Well, good pick. Good pick.
Thanks.

Speaker 97 Okay. All right.
Go ahead, Hank.

Speaker 1 Finish this off.

Speaker 84 Our last pick, we are going to go with the 2009 Magic.

Speaker 84 They spoiled a Kobe and LeBron finals.

Speaker 94 Oh, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 36 That did happen.

Speaker 15 That was a big-time spoiler.

Speaker 84 Big-time spoiler. Big time letdown.
Yeah.

Speaker 28 That was a good team, though. I like that Magic team.

Speaker 55 But that might have been Dwight Howard's flop era.

Speaker 28 That was Dwight Howard's last year of being like this guy could take over the entire league. Yeah.

Speaker 58 Cool guy, Dwight.

Speaker 14 Would you say that the North Carolina Tar Heels 2022 were a spoiler?

Speaker 2 Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 85 Oh, speaking of betrayals.

Speaker 84 Wait, what betrayal in Braveheart?

Speaker 96 Remember when the Kings got land for siding with the English?

Speaker 7 Yeah, the Scottish.

Speaker 47 Is that the same? They sold out William Wallace.

Speaker 20 Yeah. No, at the end.

Speaker 28 Oh, the end of Planet of the Apes. They're on Earth the entire time.
Yeah. And he discovers the Statue of Liberty.
He's like, oh, shit, the Planet of the Apes is actually just the Earth in the future.

Speaker 19 That's a good one.

Speaker 67 Is that the most recent one?

Speaker 28 No, that's the old one.

Speaker 84 Oh, I was like, I love the new Peter Chernin Planet of the Apes one.

Speaker 55 Yeah. Yeah.
Great.

Speaker 84 They're coming out with a new one.

Speaker 44 Really? Yeah.

Speaker 96 I love that series, too. They haven't gotten to that point in the new series.

Speaker 68 Yeah.

Speaker 84 Great, great movies.

Speaker 34 What were you going to say, Jake?

Speaker 80 Brown's losing week one.

Speaker 80 There's always lose week one. They haven't won since 2004.

Speaker 36 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 98 I forgot about that.

Speaker 75 That's true.

Speaker 82 They picked a revenge game.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 80 They tied a few years ago in 2018. They haven't won since 2004.

Yeah.

Speaker 51 They are going to lose week one.

Speaker 34 Yeah, I mean, Jacoby Brissette's going to be their quarterback.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 7 So, I would say they're probably going to lose lose week one.

Speaker 2 That's a good spoiler, Jake.

Speaker 96 This one's an old one, but the call is coming from inside the house. Stephen King novel.

Speaker 51 Yep.

Speaker 28 What about

Speaker 28 the dead guy on the floor at the start of Saw? That's actually an alive person, and he's the killer throughout the entire movie. But he's pretending to be dead.

Speaker 73 Yep.

Speaker 28 Have you seen Saw?

Speaker 96 Jake Saw? No, I don't like scary movies. I read the Wikipedia synopsis, so I don't have to see the scary parts.

Speaker 28 Nice. It's better than watching it, yeah.

Speaker 15 Hank, I apologize for for this next one because it's a movie that was made in the 90s, so

Speaker 56 ancient history, but Edward Norton in Primal Fear was acting the whole time when he pretended that he had learning disabilities.

Speaker 95 Great movie. Great fucking movie.

Speaker 15 But again, 90s, so probably Dr.

Speaker 47 Yeah, he just fell in the water.

Speaker 9 That one was weird.

Speaker 84 Lady in the water was sneaky a good movie. That was a good one.

Speaker 36 You can't.

Speaker 28 There's a movie coming, so it's not.

Speaker 68 The story's not complete.

Speaker 47 No, I'm not going to say it.

Speaker 90 I want to.

Speaker 30 You're doing this to me, and I don't want to. No,

Speaker 63 we've done a good job of only doing spoilers that are old stuff.

Speaker 66 I don't want.

Speaker 51 Prehistorically.

Speaker 58 Yes.

Speaker 9 You could do something.

Speaker 70 What about last season?

Speaker 39 No.

Speaker 17 No. Let people.
Because people are actively watching it right now.

Speaker 96 But this, but...

Speaker 73 Okay.

Speaker 15 If you say it, I'm going to say what happened at the end of this season just for you.

Speaker 96 There were six episodes in this season, right? Yeah.

Speaker 97 Okay, then I watched it.

Speaker 47 You did? Yeah.

Speaker 47 How did it end?

Speaker 48 Yeah, me too.

Speaker 74 Okay.

Speaker 93 So, Mount Rushmore spoilers.

Speaker 15 Good job, guys. I'm sure we missed some, and it's going to suck to see them all on Twitter.

Speaker 51 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 58 I actually didn't think about that.

Speaker 28 We're just going to get all the replies that are just going to ruin everything.

Speaker 51 Fuck.

Speaker 47 I've seen everything. I'm fine.

Speaker 28 Yeah, there's. Listen, I'm pretty good at shows.
I'm up to date on most of them.

Speaker 73 Yeah.

Speaker 28 If you're not up to date on a show, you can't complain if it's spoiled. Like, you got to be on top of your shows.

Speaker 83 Yeah, I think there's always like a few months when a show comes out that people get.

Speaker 89 But old movies, come on.

Speaker 2 Either, like, that's just.

Speaker 63 Or just don't even listen to this entire segment.

Speaker 47 Just skip it.

Speaker 12 Whoa, whoa.

Speaker 20 You watched that movie?

Speaker 68 No.

Speaker 51 Unbelievable movie.

Speaker 2 That's the egg challenge.

Speaker 19 Hank, you got some questions?

Speaker 84 I do.

Speaker 84 Hey guys, I'm going to a wedding this summer, solo, and my ex will be there with his new girlfriend.

Speaker 36 Uh-oh.

Speaker 84 How should I handle my anxiety? I'll be driving, so can't get drunk. Also, do I say hi or make him come say hi to me? All that stuff.
Thanks.

Speaker 28 I think you gotta start pre-game and hard. Really take advantage of the time in between the wedding.
No, not while driving, Billy.

Speaker 28 After the reception, or after the wedding, before the reception, you got to take advantage of the cocktail hour.

Speaker 28 Go up there, first thing you do, $20 in the tip jar to the bartender and get two drinks for yourself. And then don't say hi to him.

Speaker 28 Wait until Pony comes on and then really shake your ass and let him know what he's missing.

Speaker 48 And then, here's the big piece.

Speaker 34 You follow the new girlfriend into the bathroom and when you're standing there and you're washing hands, you just like ever so slightly just whisper, you know, he liked it when I fucked him in the ass, and then walk away.

Speaker 22 And just let that just fuck, because that's just,

Speaker 14 that's a conversation that has to happen.

Speaker 4 You got to make it awkward for them. Yep.

Speaker 15 Something like that, where it's just like, oh yeah, you know that he, you know, he liked to be, he liked to have me choke him out

Speaker 58 till he couldn't breathe.

Speaker 28 Just maybe wear his favorite color dress, too. Yeah.
And then let her know like that's... That was his favorite color.
Yeah.

Speaker 33 And just, yeah,

Speaker 67 look as high as you can and just really, because the girlfriend, the new, the current girlfriend's going to know that you're there.

Speaker 21 She's going to know the whole story.

Speaker 48 So, yeah, make it as miserable for them as possible.

Speaker 28 Maybe, just maybe have like a...

Speaker 30 Just run through all the groomsmen.

Speaker 28 Maybe just see how many you can get through over the course of the night.

Speaker 55 Just real quick.

Speaker 3 Just nice and quick.

Speaker 84 Hey, Dad Cat, Nada, Drug Guy, PFT, Third Floor Hank, Darling Jake, and the rest of the crew. Recently, I've started seeing this guy who's a few years older than me.

Speaker 94 He's 23. i'm 21.

Speaker 84 we've gone on multiple dates dinner shopping most inconsequential two years that is you

Speaker 7 it says a couple

Speaker 68 yeah a few years it says a couple it says a couple no i'm it doesn't

Speaker 84 i'm not that i'm actually not trolling i'm happy you guys brought that up okay i'll send it it does say a few uh i'm dating a guy who's a few years older than me oh great i wouldn't even notice that uh she's making funny also I played golf with that kid the other day.

Speaker 84 The kid that DM'd me. Remember I read the DM? Like,

Speaker 84 he made the point that that was like, Bitcat said he has a few.

Speaker 59 Oh, that fucking loser?

Speaker 84 I randomly, like, I just booked a T-Time, and he was like, I'm the kid that tweeted you the other day.

Speaker 85 It was what the fuck?

Speaker 91 No, he's a great dude.

Speaker 84 Had the PMT golf head covers. I like it.
Great guy.

Speaker 28 So it was you and him playing together.

Speaker 84 You suspended him, and he was like, How long am I suspended for? And I was like, I don't know.

Speaker 24 He's unsuspended.

Speaker 55 Great dude.

Speaker 84 A few years older than me. We've gone on multiple dates, dinner shopping, ice cream.
Yeah, but what are the chances of that?

Speaker 84 And hung out like 15 times.

Speaker 28 He's re-suspended.

Speaker 84 He's a nice guy, and I really like him, but we've only made out.

Speaker 84 I'm a 21 student at UW-Madison, so I usually get it in, but this guy just won't make a move. So here's my question.
Is he gay or a virgin? What can I do so that he makes a move?

Speaker 84 Or should I make the first move?

Speaker 68 Help.

Speaker 84 P.S. Big Cat, please speak at graduation this spring so I can't deal with another scholar talking about their own accomplishments.

Speaker 95 Yeah, I don't think I'm ever going to get to speak at commencement.

Speaker 57 That would be funny, though.

Speaker 46 I don't think they would ever allow me.

Speaker 84 I mean, you spoke after a Big Ten

Speaker 84 Co-Big Ten.

Speaker 14 Co-Big Ten, yeah, championship.

Speaker 24 I don't, yeah, I don't think, I think there would be probably like

Speaker 36 you guys fucking rule.

Speaker 24 But yeah, that was, I'd probably do the same thing.

Speaker 23 I don't even know what I'd say.

Speaker 24 I'd be like, none of this matters. Just give him a t-shirt can and send him on stage.

Speaker 65 It's like, you all wasted all your money.

Speaker 42 None of this matters.

Speaker 24 If you could take my advice, figure out a way to start a podcast and be successful that way.

Speaker 51 It's all downhill from here.

Speaker 28 So my best advice to you would be develop a crippling gambling addiction responsibly.

Speaker 65 Lose your way to the top.

Speaker 22 All right, so

Speaker 23 she's got to just be like, fuck me.

Speaker 84 Yeah, maybe send some Snapchats or something.

Speaker 2 No, I think she's just literally going to say, fuck me.

Speaker 42 If that doesn't happen, then

Speaker 15 I think you're on the.

Speaker 84 And you can get drunk and say, like, I'm going out drinking, and later on be like, we need to fuck. Yeah, right.
And then if it goes south, like, sorry, I was so drunk.

Speaker 28 Right. He might just be shy, too.

Speaker 28 Maybe next time you're out drinking with him, if it's just you and him, while you're at the bar together, just send him a text saying, fuck me, while you're standing right next to him.

Speaker 28 And maybe he'll just open up from that. Maybe he just.

Speaker 97 A-rod. Yeah.

Speaker 9 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 73 Yeah.

Speaker 34 What were you going to say, Billy?

Speaker 96 He might be like a no-premarital guy.

Speaker 68 There's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 28 I don't think those guys exist.

Speaker 71 No, they don't exist.

Speaker 28 Here's what you got to do. Just ask him, like, you got that dog in you?

Speaker 98 Yeah. Let me see.

Speaker 15 I need a guy that's got that dog.

Speaker 53 Yeah, be like, let me see that little chihuahua.

Speaker 88 Does that chihuahua bark?

Speaker 51 Maybe don't call it a chihuahua.

Speaker 23 Let me see that Great Dane.

Speaker 85 That's a bar in Madison. There you go.
That's perfect.

Speaker 2 Be like, let me see that Great Dane.

Speaker 3 And if he's like, excuse me, be like, I meant, should we go to the Great Dane? I need that dog in me.

Speaker 47 Yeah, right.

Speaker 7 I need to go get a beer at the Great Dane. All right, that's good.

Speaker 7 We helped you out.

Speaker 84 In terms of the hot/slash crazy scale, is it easier to become more hot or less crazy?

Speaker 84 I feel like my ratio is off, and I need to make some adjustments.

Speaker 24 So she's definitely crazy if she's asking us, right?

Speaker 28 Would that be a fair assumption or no yeah yeah i think so and like you wouldn't ask that if you're really hot

Speaker 28 she's too crazy for how attractive she is is what i'm guessing yes she wants to be hotter because she's got the crazy down pat I think it's it's very easy to become hotter if you're a girl there's so many tricks that girls can use like when sometimes I'll see a girl and she'll have just these monster eyelashes on I'll be like wow your eyelashes are great and they're like well they're obviously fake and I can never tell them I have no idea yeah I also think that if you see the problem is this

Speaker 3 this is science that we're talking about right the hot crazy thing so she's crazy she wants to get hotter i think you just got to be crazier and your hotness will go up do you know what i mean like the crazier you get the hotter you get it impacts the score right right so just like a rising tide lifts all boats i think that's just how it works

Speaker 28 Maybe just start taking drugs and they'll either make you way more crazy or way less crazy. They might bring you down.
And I think in either of those events, your hotness might increase.

Speaker 76 Right.

Speaker 96 She's trying to get to the regression line in the middle on the XY axis of crazy and hot.

Speaker 83 So I think you just got to get hotter.

Speaker 75 Who is that one guy who went viral for that video that he made?

Speaker 15 It was probably 15 years ago when he made this, like the crazy hot.
