On today's part of my take, Joey Chestnut, the greatest American that has ever lived on the show. We're also remote.
We're doing a remote in anticipation of the Barstool Mini Golf Tournament. So we're out in the Hamptons.

We're going to talk a little hot seat, cool throne.

The Bears are back.

Adam Schefter had a huge report.

Washington Post posted a nice glowing article on Adam Schefter.

And then a very special Mount Rushmore, pardon my bake return.

We haven't done this in a very long time with our good friend, Roan,

a.k.a. Sal Palantonio.

Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue. It's part of my take presented by Barstool Sports.
Welcome to part of my take presented by Visible. Go to visible.com slash pod right now.
You get single line wireless for as low as $25 a month. Today is Wednesday, July 13th.
And I want to ask you guys a simple question. I'll give you a simple answer.
Did you add to your legacy today? I did add to my legacy. You know how? How? Because I'm on part of my take.
That's the easiest way to add to anybody's legacy is by going on the popular sports podcast, Part of My Take. Why do you ask, Big Cat? That's because Kevin Durant asked everyone on Twitter today, did you add to your legacy today? If so, what did you do? And I would agree.
If you come on Part of my take, you've added to your legacy. Boom.
Just like that. Legacy complete.
Jake, have you added to your legacy today? I believe I did. How? You'll have to see on the next episode of PMTV.
Oh, because you played tennis and you might've beaten us? Sixth Love. Oh, Sixth Love.
Give me a break. Speak English.
Hank, did you add to your legacy? Let me answer that question for you. You did because we're here out in the Hamptons getting ready for the Barstool Mini Golf Tournament.
And Hank, the only competitor in the entire field of 50, came out a day early and tested the mini golf course because you got to test the course if you're Hank. It's called a location scout.
No, in Hank's defense, he's being a good producer. He needs to know the reads of all the greens.
He needs to know exactly where their hazards are. He needs to talk to the head greenskeeper.
We needed to know how long. He's like a fifth-generation greenskeeper at this.
He knows every nook and creative. You know what? We're playing a Hank's home course tomorrow.
Oh, there's a lot of people involved. There's a lot of people's valuable time.
We're trying to map out and get things. I know people think Barstow's just a shit show.

We're actually pretty organized.

But the one X factor was how long does a round take?

So I volunteered, came here early because we were coming here anyway.

Left a little bit early.

Came with three other guys. Shout out to Liam, Memes, and Evan.

Wait, are Liam, Memes, and Evan playing in the tournament tomorrow? No, but we needed four people to simulate. Oh, okay.
One of them played twice. Yeah, one of them could have played twice.
Or you could have just been like three people is pretty close to four people. Tack on maybe 10, 15 minutes.
But that's not, see, I just care about the exact. You care about it so much that you had to play the course before the tournament was actually played.
No one else has played the course. Everyone knows the course is open all day.
Listen, if you wanted to come, you could have gone and played. We're hard on Hank.
It's usually tough love. I'm going to take his side on this one.
Thank you. Because it makes sense for you to come out, check out the course, because you're in charge of filming this entire thing tomorrow, right? That's true.
You're going to be producing head producer of all of it, so you need to know every single thing about this course to make sure the production goes over smoothly, right? Right. You're not competing.
You're not competing. I don't have to compete.
Oh, okay. I was asked to compete.
Oh, by who? You? No. Okay, so you added to your legacy today by making sure that you scouted the mini golf tournament before we got there.
Preparation is everything. Do you think Kevin Durant might be a little bothered that he's now tweeting what did you do to add to your legacy today well he's the legacy king right now i don't think we even have enough we don't have as much conversation about lebron james's legacy as we do about kevin durant's because you know he's done the like super team thing where he's hopped around he's joined existing teams at one championship so it's easy to be like what's what's up with your legacy i think kevin durant is just sick of the word legacy.
I think we need to find a new word for legacy.

Yeah.

You know what?

Maybe he's also a listener to this show because I think on Monday's show,

we did say that if he went to the Thunder, he would add to his legacy.

Yeah.

So maybe he's just listening to us.

Legacy games.

We didn't do that this NBA postseason.

We did a little bit.

Yeah, we stepped out of many legacy games.

Yeah, there's more so last.

The Scott Foster legacy series.

Yeah.

There was a lot of.

Chris Paul had a major, major legacy postseason. He had like 10 points in that game seven where they lost by 70.
That was a legacy game. Yeah, there was a lot of legacy games.
Pat Beverly winning that playing game. Legacy game.
Yeah, legacy game for Pat Bev, obviously. I think it's...
Actually, it's easier to detract from a legacy than it is to add to a legacy. It's super hard to add to a legacy.
And we're at the point of the sports calendar year. We're actually discussing this off air.
Like, I don't think we've had a summer month like this next month and a half in like three years. Because we had COVID and then we had everything pile up.
And we had like playoffs in the middle of the summer. Last year, NBA playoffs went till mid-July.
This is the first time we've had to deal with basically nothing in the middle of the summer. So we're talking legacies.
Sexist much? The women's Euro tournament in soccer? That's true. That's true.
I've been tuning in. Not.
That wasn't like a, I just, soccer. Like I didn't watch tennis either.
So who the fuck cares? It could have been the men's Euros. It could have been.
Yes, correct. I wouldn i wouldn't have i wouldn't have i almost bet on one of the games as long as i can say is is england in it because i'll do the british memes and it's coming home sure that's as far as i'll get in euro yeah right so we have um that with soccer we have people getting mad about albert pools being in the home run derby which is a crock of shit but i'm also at the point in my life where I...
Because he fucking sucks. He can't even walk.
It's Albert Pujols. He can't even walk.
You don't need to walk the He shouldn't be in the All-Star game. Did he make the All-Star game? I'm just concerned that he's going to mess up his swing for the second half of the season.
Oh, wouldn't that be a shame? Him and Yadis... You just don't like the Cardinals.
Yeah, I know, but him and Yadis doing their little swan song together, and Albert Pujols, he's taking a spot away from someone who could. Is Christian Yelich in the home run derby? I don't think so.
I don't think he's hit enough dingers. Wow.
Well, there's no rule about how many dingers you have to hit because Albert Pujols is in it. Right.
Maybe he did take that spot away from Christian Yelich, in which case I fully support Albert Pujols. You're not going to like this.
Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera were all-star game roster ads due to the commissioner selections. Wow.
MLB rigged. I'm okay with the Miggy one.
He deserves it. He's a legend.
Albert Pujols, get out of here. I do think there's a pretty good chance that – where's the all-star game being played? L.A.
L.A. They might rig it for Albert Pujols.
He might get the good balls. Yeah.
I actually – you know what? I'm not even mad because I want to see him just so gassed That he can't even breathe by the end of the first round That will be worth it right there He might hurt himself Like the home run derby, well he's probably just going to take 10 swings Yeah, he's probably going to get paid like $300 million, go to the Angels and do nothing Yeah How many home runs does Albert Pruels even have? I believe tonight he hit his 6 6 Six? Six? 16? What are we, five games in the season? Six? He has six home runs? He's on pace for 12. This makes me sick.
So I guess I am, Matt. There we go.
If he wins, though, he's got a great swing. I mean, he wasn't going to win with five? How's he going to win? He's hit six home runs.
He's hit six home runs this year. I think he's going to be able to.
I think he's going to take a flyer on him. Yeah, so we're in the dog days of summer.
Every time that we talk about how there are no sports on this summer, we always forget baseball. Unless it's like a stupid controversy about the All-Star game.
Well, I did forget that the Orioles were playing the Cubs this week because on Sunday I made a bet on the Orioles to win the AL at 400-1. And yeah.
You bet against yourself. Yeah, well, I didn't realize they were playing the Cubs this week.
I was like, oh, fuck. No, but the Cubs suck, so that's actually smart.
That is true. The Cubs do suck.
Alvaro Pujols got a curtain call for his sixth home run. For his sixth home run tonight? Yeah.
Makes me sick. You know what? This is Coach K all over again.
Yeah, it is. But yeah, we don't have...
There we don't have this is the true dog day of the summer we're going to create great content we have a great interview with Joey Chestnut we also have a Pardon My Bake which we haven't done in forever but the one thing that did happen today was Adam Schefter had a glowing maybe not so much story written about him in the Washington post that gave us some insights into the mind of adam schefter which i i mean i i think we all knew it i i love that everyone is always shocked when they find out more details about adam schefter it's like dude what did you think what are they what are they shocked about so all right well so the article started out i'll do a couple readings. I did like this part.
It started out saying, Adam Schefter did not want to be photographed. He was in the parking lot of an upscale steakhouse.
He was a vampire? In a leafy Long Island suburb near where he lives to talk to a reporter about his job at ESPN's preeminent NFL Insider. A photographer had tagged along, but Schefter was skeptical.
I was at a charity event and they took my picture, he said's like i was trying to do a good thing now the picture shows up everywhere when i screw up i have no idea what this picture is we got to find it this sounds like he was like pictured with glane maxwell yeah right he's not doing that again shefter had checked the check the flight logs i learned my lesson um and then it says this is a this is great dig. Schefter is shorter than he appears on TV.

That's fucked up.

But his brawny frame filled out his tailored blue suit.

That's completely unnecessary.

I'm going to stand up for Adam Schefter.

I think he's exactly as short as he appears on TV because he does look short on TV.

He's very short.

Yeah, he's very short.

I don't think anyone's shocked.

We've seen him standing next to Steve Young, Louis Reddick.

We've seen him all over television all the time. He's short next to Dan Orlovsky yeah no one's surprised he's the same height as laura rutledge yeah so he uh i did like though he they gave him brawny if you could if you're short at least you can get brawny i don't understand that comment about him either like i can't picture adam schefter on like a a paper towel packaging well he works out.
He says a Peloton and a push-up regimen

that helps give him stamina to be up before dawn

and just stay up on the news all day.

He's got good shoulders.

That's the thing I'll give him.

He has decent shoulders.

All right, so here's the things

that people are mad about.

Schefter, meanwhile, maintains

there's a personal touch to the work.

He remembers the wives and children of his sources.

And Schefter has... Wow, imagine if Zach Wilson gets ahold of Schefter's phone, look out.
Fuck. And Schefter has grown famous among some in the NFL orbit for his holiday gifts.
He has a list of 150 recipients who receive depending on the year vineyard vines, ties, scotch, chocolate, or ice cream. They go mostly to sources, but also some to ESPN coworkers and others.
One year, he spent $16,000 on chocolate. I have relationships with people, Schefter said.
It's not all transactional. The gifts he added are a business expense that he writes off on his taxes.
I love it. This is also that is transactional.
If you're buying things for people.

So I'm not shocked by that at all.

Nobody should be shocked about it.

Like Adam Schefter's job is to just get information before other people have it.

He's not like a journalist that's digging into like the missteps of the league.

In fact, he's more of like a PR person sometimes. Right.

And everybody knows that about Adam Schefter.

His job is just find something out five seconds before Ian Rappaport finds it out.

And he's pretty good at that job. He's very good at the job.
With the exception, I'll harken back to last week when the Baker Mayfield news dropped. I don't think he ever tweeted that out.
No, because I think he was so late on it. He does do a thing where if he misses it, he just never tweets it.
He did. I like that.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
I appreciate that. But yeah, it is very funny when all these, when this story comes out about Schefter,

everyone's like, this is disgusting.

What did you think was going on?

I think it's fucked up though

that Adam Schefter spends $16,000 on chocolate

and we don't get any of it.

Any of it.

How many people is he sending chocolate out to

and how do we not make the cut to get him $16,000?

Should we call him?

Yeah, let's give him a call.

Let's give him a call.

Let's see if he picks up.

There's no way he's going to pick up. There's no way he's going to pick up.

There's no way he's going to pick up.

This would be very funny, though.

He's probably doing a Peloton or a push-up regiment to keep his brawny build.

We're defending him, by the way.

Yeah.

We are defending our guy, Shefty.

Man, does he sleep?

It is July. It is 9 30 it might be it might also be like the one time yeah you might also be like i'm i'm conducting official nfl league business right now yeah why are you all right i'm gonna text him right now and say why didn't we get chocolate why don't we get chocolate i just want a small chocolate.
Why don't we get chocolate? Is that too much to ask? Okay. Holiday chocolate.
All right. So here's the other part.
And this is the part where I'm really going to defend Adam Schefter. He invented Twitter before Twitter.
What do you mean? Let me tell you, PFT. Schefter was also early to understand an information ecosystem that was being upended by technology.
He created email lists on his BlackBerry that he would separate into general managers, coaches, executives, and owners. When he filed a story or had news, he would fire it off to his list as he was also sending it to the news desk.
One former NFL executive described this as Twitter before Twitter. he'd email people he was really he was the world's fastest emailing no he put all the email addresses together and then he emailed he built a spreadsheet yes and then he would email off that spreadsheet like that none of this really shot you remember for a while espn kind of tried to do their own twitter where like they had everybody break news like on their and live scroll of things, like the bottom line for the website? I mean, good for Adam Schefter.
I don't know why he's doing press. He already got his contract, right? Yeah, the people are mad because there's a couple things.
One, he's had a few tweets this past year and issues where it's like he's been not the most sensitive. Yeah, the Carson Wentz thing.
Yeah, when it comes to domestic violence, he probably hasn't had the most sensitive touch and maybe given out an agent's words and not actually like the real words. That's one thing, which he actually addressed in this.
And he's like, I got to stay in my lane. I got to be more cautious and sensitive and delicate to these things.
And then the other thing is always in life, when someone has success and when someone wins people want to tear him down he's making reportedly nine million dollars a year he gets every scoop he has every contact people hate that people hate winners they want to tear down winners they want to tear down adam schepter's legacy yeah what has adam done to improve his legacy today that's the question well he could get us chocolates he could pick up that's exactly what it would be he's definitely gonna call us back when we're high yeah yeah that's gonna suck but i'm really gonna want chocolate yeah that will suck i'm gonna be more angry about the chocolate yes yes so yeah that's pretty much everything we got going on right now i don't know what else like i said yeah i did the the orioles bet thousand uh four hundred to one because mostly because i follow enough orioles fans and the oroles this year are the perfect, like they have enough prospects that have come up still some really good prospects in the minor leagues. And everyone's like every win, you know, when a team is starting to ascend and they're not great yet, they're not even maybe good yet.
Cause they're just, I think they're, if they beat the Cubs tonight, there'd be 500, but there's that buzz about them. and i just got caught up in the buzz and i was like fuck i think i want to ride i want i want to ride with these guys i think they're scrappy yeah and they still have a little bit of that buck show walter stink on them and and they have like they still have i had a shout out our guy ebo in the office because he's an orioles fan i had him make up like a one sheet for me of just

basically give me all the like good players and what the fans think of him yeah and it's like he listed all of them and then there's like three or four guys that they have that are top prospects that could still be called up which is the most thrilling thing in baseball that's great if they're close if they're looking like they could make the wild card so let's play a game it's called name three Orioles.

Okay.

Adley Rushman.

I know that.

Okay.

Um,

yeah. close if they're looking like they could make the wild card so let's play a game it's called name three orioles okay adley rushman i know that okay um he's good enough i read the one i read the one sheet today fuck i got no not brady anderson miguel tejada chris hoyles sammy so say man wait wait wait billy ripkin shefter shefty you meant that text for me yeah're live.
You're live on part of my take. What? We were just reading your Washington post article.
We're defending you by the way. I was, I was just upset because we don't get any of your $16,000 chocolate budget.
$16,000 chocolate budget. Nothing for the part of my take guys.
No, you guys are on the list. I mean, that go.
That's bullshit. All right.
Legacy complete. What kind of chocolates? What kind of chocolates? You know, I don't remember.
I've been giving out gifts for a long enough time that I don't remember the chocolates. Let's see.
Let me think. Oh, I know what it was.
Oh, I know what it was. There's this nice basket that Hershey makes that they include all the dark dark chocolate sounds great mr good bar and crackles yes and they do like a whole tin of it sounds delicious and let me say this it goes great with donuts on saturday oh come on why all right so all right so we we need the chocolates if you try to send me a tie i'll send it back yeah well no i haven't done ties in a while either like it just shifts whatever you feel like doing that year it just it's just that kind of thing and uh it's all about kind of relationships and showing people that you think of them that's all it is yeah it'd be nice to be thought of.
Exactly. Well, I think of you guys a lot.

Okay.

All right, well.

I just haven't sent chocos to express that.

Okay, all right.

So we're on the list.

That's all we want to hear.

You guys are on the list.

Okay.

Thank you, Adam.

Thank you, Chef.

We appreciate it.

We'll talk to you later.

Thank you.

All right, see ya.

That's nice.

That's it.

We're on the list.

Breaking news.

Breaking news.

Break the news. Break the news right now jake that's tweeted out tweeted out from pmt account breaking uh breaking news part of my take is officially on jester's chocolate yeah part of my take is officially on adam shefter's as of now part of my take is officially on adam shefter's holiday chocolate i'm a little worried though because he did say that it's it depends year to year how he's feeling like it's not always chocolate it could be something else yeah i hope i don't get a tie and he also well he that's such a terrible gift when you give someone a tie you're like here's something you have to wear when you don't want to like you don't want to be in a suit here's a fucking tie tie.
That's what you give your dad if you don't like him. Also, we don't wear ties.
Right. It's a completely useless gift.
Yeah, that's true. Jake wears ties.
You gifted me a suit. Yeah, I gave you a suit.
That's a thoughtful gift to you. That was also a bet with Bill.
Because I knew that you would use the suit and the tie. Me and Big Cat, you might as well give us condoms.
We're never putting those things on. Damn.
I said we're done with condoms last week. Put that on the ball.
End of story, though. We defend Shefty because he's a weird dude, but he's really fucking good at his job.
And people get mad when people are good at their jobs. They make They make a lot of money and they seem to be at the top of their profession.
Well, the thing is if Schefter didn't do this, somebody else, you know what? Actually, if you're, if you're an up and comer in the breaking news industry, just send out $17,000 worth of chocolate. Yeah.
He kind of gave away the secret sauce. Should we text Rappaport and be like, how much chocolate are we getting? Yeah.
They'd be really confused. Yeah.
reply chocolate, question mark, question mark, question mark, because that is how fast his brain works. And that was the most of the story was like, there's never been a human being who works as fast as him because that story came out, I don't know, like 9 a.m.
He's already like, what are you talking about? He's on to the next one. The thing I'll also agree with him on is the Blackberry thing.
I think there should be a phone that comes out that brings back the touch keyboards, like the actual buttons to press. That would be so sweet.
Do you know how old we are? The sidekick. Bring back the sidekick.
Brick Breaker. Yeah.
Brick Breaker was maybe the greatest game to just do nothing all day and try to beat Brick Breaker. How many times did you get around it? I never had a BlackBerry, but i just played in other people's did brick breaker end like did it i i know that i got to the end and it starts back at at level one just goes faster it's called a kill string yeah in the business like that's what billy mitchell taught us right so what i don't know if it ever i don't know how far anyone's ever gotten i think i got halfway through the fast one the second the second round yeah second round.
Yeah. Is there a third round? I don't know.

Question for everyone.

Question for our 35 plus audience.

34 levels.

34?

Holy shit.

I sucked.

You get three lives.

They make it on the iPhone now, but like, oh, gee, it's black.

You need the keys.

You need to press the keys and have them go in and out.

Oh, wow.

He just texted, please send addresses for you, PFT, and Hank.

Wow. Incredible.
Sorry, Jake. It's all right.
He answered my email a few years ago you read it on the show that's true yeah good advice he always gives back um okay so anything else before we get to hot seat cool throne and then joey chestnut well you said bears are back i've got a washington football team thing too okay are you doing that cool throne okay okay we'll wait yeah okay all right let's get to Hot Seat Cool Throne.

Uh oh. Yikes.
Still in Russia. You want to go there? To Russia? No.
I'm good. I'm good here.
Yeah. So you like it here in the United States.
I do like it here in the United States.

What if we had a Barstool mini golf tournament in Russia? You'd be there. You'd be on the next flight tomorrow morning.
He'd already be there. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, if I was producing it and locations needed to be scouted, I would go anywhere.
Yep. But LeBron, not to bring him up out of nowhere, as we usually do.
But it is a relevant story. I was once again left with no choice.
He on his own show

The Barbershop

He was talking about the Bernie Griner situation and also talking about how fucked up America is. And he said, basically, I don't know if I'd want to come back to America if I was Bernie Griner.
Whoa! So LeBron tweeted out seven minutes ago, because I have notifications back when he was promising his Q&A. Yeah, I do too.
He said, My comments on the shop regarding Brittany Griner wasn't knocking our beautiful country. I was simply saying how she's probably feeling emotionally, along with so many other emotions, thoughts, et cetera, inside that cage she's been in for over 100 plus days.
Long story short, hashtag bring her home. I think it was a bad quote that he had.
It was a bad, bad quote. Wait, but there's no way.
No one took that and ran with it. I think what he was saying.
It's not like it was his own show that put it out. Yeah, that's true.
It's a bad quote. It's all you could have controlled it.
Yeah, bad quote. I don't want to say it was taken out of context, but I think what he was saying.
It was his show. It was his context.
But I think what he was saying was that Britney, if he was Brittany, he'd be pissed off that the U S hasn't done more to bring her home. So he'd be mad at our country.
Got it. Got it.
I think that's what he was saying. Well, shout out Clay Travis.
He has something to talk about for the next month. That's very true.
Dan Dockage had seven tweets about that today. I missed like all this.
Cause I don't know if you guys noticed, but I wasn't, wasn't trying to tweet while we were driving, trying to be a little bit better about that. I missed like all this because I don't know if you guys noticed but I wasn't trying to tweet while we were driving trying to be a little bit better about that so I missed all this no you actually did tweet while we were driving no I looked over you were tweeting a few times but it was good it's an improvement on the past because back in the old days when we be on the RV I would be trying to take a nap in the.
I would be trying to take a nap in the back. Sounds like you do.
No, I don't. Oh, Hank, you didn't? Big guy would be doing a Q&A.
No, absolutely not. Well, he was on the RV.
He'd have a cigarette in one hand, his phone in the other, doing an open Q&A. Okay, I did one tweet.
I did one tweet. Bears are back.
I did Bears back when to kill Harry. Yeah, but I think that's when we were stopped.
I really do think that was when we were stopped to take a piss because Sass had to take a piss on a two-and-a-half-hour drive. No offense to him.
All right, your cool throne? My cool throne, I have one single one. It's Lo-Fi Hip Hop Radio.
Oh, great. Good one.
Did you, this was on yours? No, definitely not. Fuck, you got, ah.
Actually, yeah. Can I have a minute? I need to find a new cool throne.
All right, well, you guys are boomers. I don't know.

No, it's just like sometimes you need to block out the noise.

There's like construction going on in our office 24-7.

It got taken out

You're not impressed by it? Oh, that will fuck me up for days.
No, it did fuck me up because I just kept staring at it. First of all, thinking like I want to fuck outer space.
And then secondly, because look at this and tell me you don't want to fuck out. Outer space is beautiful.
Look. Update the list.
Look at this. Let me see it.
How cool is that? Okay, but this. Thousands of galaxies.
See, this doesn't mean anything that's what i'm saying i'm agreeing with him that does nothing no this this what is that it's this looks like it's it's infinity this looks like you just passed out underneath the christmas tree you're looking at the universe right now is it like it's it's really nuts think about it how many how many stars are in these you're looking at trillions of stars. What attracts you about that? Trillions of stars? Says who? I guess I'm just more of an intellectual.
Was it Venus or Mercury? I saw a picture of Venus. Oh, here it is.
Clearest image ever taken of Venus. That's cool.
Because I can comprehend that. You just showed me an Etch-A-Sketch.
Look at this. This is a star being born right there in a nebula there in a nebula that's kind of cool that yeah yeah but that could also just be some fucking scientist lava lamp and they just send it out and they're like check this out guys scientists just need to like they just need to keep getting paid so every couple months they just release shit that like who knows if that's real here's a gigantic dust cloud that's giving birth to stars where outer space yeah i think they're making this up.
Yeah. I did see this picture, and I just said that's fake.
Like, we could make one of those easily. Easily.
Like, the part in my take telescope has finally reached outer space. $7 billion in funding, please.
Here are all of our pictures. This one right here does look like if Van Gogh took mushrooms and then started to paint.
Yeah. That's a lava lamp.
That's like one of those those like colored sand you know when that's really what it is like if if you show me a picture of outer space and i could be more impressed by those people who put this colored sand into the glass and they make like a hockey player out of it like that's way more impressive i still think it's cool i i like outer space i'll put my hand i do too but that one didn't do anything it doesn't sound like you like i showed you venus i'm down with venus i like earth better than outer space yeah but i still like outer space tangible outer space right like that's all i can think about right that one is just so abstract nobody's ever seen like in the past no one's yeah no that's a crazy thing this is like eight billion years ago that we're looking at. Right.
That makes that.

Kanye just put out his first album.

Feel old yet?

Yeah.

Okay.

What's your cool trunk?

Well, I got another hot seat.

Oh.

Is that okay?

Hot seats.

A couple hot seats.

A couple hot seats.

Yeah.

Thank you, Jack.

Not a few.

No.

You lost that, by the way. This is your last one.

I don't think so.

Yeah.

You lost it.

I think the depth.

What was the definition of small number?

No, no, no.

Everyone online was like, Hank is crazy. Yeah.
It's a couple or a few. Yeah.
So my couple hot seat. Well, a small number is two.
Dan Snyder, again, on the hot seat. I feel like I've said this.
Oh, wow. Is this the one that's going to do him in? This is the year.
Sir resign, sir. I'd like to see old Dan Snyder wiggle his way out of this one.
You've become an Onion headline. Yeah.
Like Washington football commander fan thinks this is finally the time that Dan Snyder is going down.

This is like Keith Olbermann being like, Donald Trump, sir, you have crossed the line for the last time, sir.

Your presidency is over.

I'm saying that about Dan Snyder.

He is going to have to testify in front of Congress under oath.

Is he just going to say no comment?

Plead the fifth?

He might plead the fifth, but I'm looking forward to it because I'm going to go through his testimony with a fine tooth comb. Well, for him saying plead the fifth.
And I will find a way that he is committing perjury. I will find it.
I will get Dan Snyder convicted on perjury somehow, some way. I'm just glad that he's going to be testifying under oath.
It's not going to work. I fully accept.
You have a day. You get your day in court.
He is going to outlive me. I've completely accepted that.
Whatever. But I still have a chance at him yeah i'm stepping i'm like albert pujols at the home run derby yeah i might swing and miss nine times but that 10th one is going over the fence okay my cool throne is the new york yankees because per joe osborne on twitter he was talking about their babbit and you know as seam heads we know all about babbitIP on this podcast.
Over the last month, the Yankees ranked 27th with a BABIP of only 265. Oh, frauds.
Despite this, they rank first and run scored in this span. Oh, so they're frauds.
So no, quite the contrary. Oh, it means that the Yankees have not even begun to peak yet.
Got it. It means that they've been really good, but also really unlucky at the same time.
Got it. When their luck swings around, when the Babbit gods put their wand on their foreheads and say, congratulations, we now anoint you, Yankees, that's when the Yankees are going to step on the gas.
Wow. So I feel like congratulations to the New York Yankees, winners of the 2022 World Series.
Congratulations, guys. And the Royals have to win the AL first.
They will. Yeah.
ALCS. Yeah.
The Yankees pride themselves on power. BABIP doesn't include power, right? I don't know.
I honestly don't know what BABIP includes. Measures of players.
I built this entire house of cards, and Cheek just comes over with a little... No, no, no, no, no.
So BABIP stands for batting average on balls in play,

which means that if you make contact with a ball

and it lands in play...

Yeah, but removing outcomes not affected by the opposing defense,

namely home runs and strikeouts.

Right, right.

But I'm saying on their balls in play...

They're unlucky.

They're getting...

They're hitting line drives to the second baseman

that don't quite make it up the middle. What Jake's saying is true.
The Yankees also get very lucky because they play in a fucking Mickey Mouse of a park. Right, that only they play out and the opposing team doesn't, according to the opposing team.
Well, they play way more. Yeah, they play way more games there.
Yeah, but the team they're playing has the opportunity. I'm saying the Yankees, they've officially won the World Series.
Yeah, they have. But not the ALCS.
But not the, yes. Thank you.
The Orioles are going to win the ALCS and then get disqualified in the World Series. That's fine by me, as long as the ticket cashes.
Yep. I just got a DM from this guy named Mark.
Just kind of how you're saying everyone said I was wrong. They said, on Monday's episode, they roasted you for saying a few who's backs.
But if you rewind the tape, you actually said a couple. So you were right.
But wait, there's more. During Mount Rushmore, Big Cat said he had a couple honorable mentions, and then he named three.
Okay. But I know what the difference between a couple and a few is.
It sounds like you don't because you said a couple. Well, I probably was like a couple, and then I had two, and then I was like, oh, fuck, I forgot this one too.
That guy's a nerd. Get him out of here.
See you, Mark. You're suspended from part of my take.
Get the fuck out. Boom.
Verbal gif.

Boom.

See ya.

All right.

My, uh, is it, you have a cool throne?

No, that was, that was my cool throne.

I could do a few.

Yeah.

You could do a few.

All right.

My hot seat is ESPN because they ran an entire segment on a fake John Morant quote.

Ball sack.

Who would do that?

Like doing a whole segment on a fake Kevin Durant, umant only wants to play for teams with two all-stars thing. Whatever.
That was a fake one? Yeah, I found that. Someone said that after and I was like, I don't care.
Well, it was the Hoop Central. Oh, they're good too.
Yeah, are they real? No. See, I didn't know.
I think Hoop Central is sometimes real. That's the thing.
They confuse it also. No, but there's like a Hoop Central and then there's like a H00 or like.
Wow. There's also that wasn't a crazy thing to say because Kevin Root does want to play with good players.
And we were on vacation. And I don't really care.
Some guy was like, that was all fake. And I was like, please apologize.
And I was just like, I don't give don't give a fuck i'm sorry like this show does not fact check ever i think the biggest funny thing also lebron might not have been in cleveland for his decision doesn't matter we're doing some retroactive fact checking where was he uh connecticut whatever maybe i love it because we always get the like fact checker you could you could tell i i mean i love the awls are up for a six-time uh championship is this gonna be seven seven maybe seven 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 wow seven yeah okay so they're up for seven hamilton um that's crazy but uh there's something very and all of us have experienced this if you make a mistake you can tell how big of a mistake it was by like waking up and just seeing like okay there's like 15 tweets or there's like 100 tweets and if you make a really big mistake like there's 100 tweets you're like god damn it i shouldn't have said that i also don't like the journalists complaining about the existence of ball sack sports now now some people are like what a bunch of sad losers those are to make a site that's just dedicated to tricking espn i fucking love it yeah it's good make me laugh there should be there should be traps in every facet of the world listen if the internet was all people being completely honest all the time it would be no fun at all it's also one of those things where i used to be like i used to be ashamed when i got duped now it's just like all right whatever the internet gets you if you live on the internet you're gonna get got yeah like it just happens you can't you know what you know what i say to the people who don't get got they're not playing hard enough they're not a man in the arena get in the arena play every day on the internet you will get got and if you don't it's like the old uh saying like you you don't do business if you don't get sued which is a crazy thing to say but i've heard people say it that's if you don't get got you're not on the internet so there's a really easy way to not get got by ball sack sports and that's to look and to see if it's from an account called ball sack sports right But no, but there's other ways. Like if someone gets like ESPN, then get got, got, got, and I could get got from that, but then you get got lazy.
They are because one show talks about it. And then the other producers of the other shows are like, Oh, can I just say real quick? I also think just stay woke.
I think they're just doing it on purpose. Like, I think they know and they don't care because guess what it's the middle of july and there's nothing to talk about so they did an entire show about john moran day entire day about john moran saying if michael jordan played in today's nba he'd be just another player that you think they're gonna apologize for those ratings you know what i don't care i'm gonna agree with fake john moran like what do they Like, they don't.
And then they get to do another day where everyone's, like, talking about ESPN getting got. And then now everyone wants to tune in to see if what Kendrick Perkins is talking about really did or didn't happen.
It's genius. We should actually make a ball sack sports, but just for people that are on ESPN.
And just make up quotes from Stephen Smith. Yes.
I like that. I like that.
Jake, put that in the calendar. I will never have Stephen A.
Smith being like, I will never get ball sack sports in my life. Yeah.
What? Let's do it in like four weeks. Remind us.
That seems like we'll be back in the – we're in vacation mode right now. Always nice.
And then my cool throne is the Bears are back because we got Nikhil Harry, who he's awesome right first round pick yeah he's a big body big body great route runner great hands belichick saw something another weapon for justin fields fucking chest is full bro this could be a fake tweet i saw it i'm not gonna fact check it but it was like the last 20 years, the only receiver that Belichick's drafted that's done anything

or had over maybe like 100 catches or something is Jules.

Yeah.

He's the only one.

Who was a quarterback.

Yeah.

Right.

Special teams player.

They drafted special teams.

Yeah.

Everyone's got their weaknesses.

But either way, to kill Harry, he's going to be a stud.

He's a first-round draft pick.

I remember him at Arizona State.

He was awesome. Pac-12 after dark after dark so bears are back probably not uh that was the only time like you guys we always talk about draft season i'm like i don't really care about the draft because it's boring we always draft like a lineman or something that was the only time we were pumped we were pumped i was watching all the highlight tapes i was like oh my god like randy moss 2.0 also tom brady speaking of getting got online i just like the first tweet after i said bears back someone was like, oh my God, like Randy Moss 2.0.
Also, speaking of getting God online, I just, like the first tweet after I said Bears are back, someone was like, he's an incredible run blocker. I was like, enough for me.
I don't care. Like, you could have just made that up.
I'm down with it. I'm going to repeat that later.
And like, you'll hear that said like week three. Would you give up for him? You see David Montgomery get fucking sprung by Nikhil Harry.
Seventh round pick. Oh, so that's just good monetary policy.
You exchange a seventh rounder for a first rounder. We could get another The Run.
Yeah. Kevin White going to be back soon.
A lot of studs at wide receiver. All right, Jake, your hot seat, cool throw, and then let's get to Joey Chestnut and Pardon My Bake.
My hot seat is Heinz Field. Yeah.
R.I.P this is one of like there's yankee stadium that's the team but in terms of brand sponsors this is one of the most popular ones yeah staples staples center left last year so this is gonna be a weird one still upset about that i believe i don't know if i'm pronouncing this correctly but acrashur sure i you know what stadium i i'd like to speak

for all of us let's just keep calling it heinzfield yeah i don't i'm not going to stop calling it

it's heinzfield yeah if being called it heinzfield i'm going to call it heinzfield yeah i agree it's

not we're not changing that no it's heinzfield i'm not gonna dumbest investment ever i've already

forgotten the name of the company correct that was a stupid you can't be the the the company

after heinz right it should have actually been what's the hunts hunts should have done it or

Thank you. name of the company correct that was a stupid you can't be the the the company after Heinz right it should have actually been what's the hunts hunts should have done it or french's mustard yeah they should have done or gray coupon it's a little too european for pits yeah i know it would have been great though it should just be sponsored by butter yeah yeah but like what why wouldn't that was a perfect spot for a condiment to jump in miracle whip you missed it, you missed it.
You fucked it up. Yeah, I'm trying to think of other venues that are known just for their sponsor.
Like Stable Center was one and not by their team. What other ones come to mind? The Trop.
Tropicana Field. Yeah.
The Juice Box, Minute Maid. Yeah.
It used to be Enron. Yeah, that was better.
I like Enron. United Center, kind of.
Yeah, you did. I mean, that is very.
All the airlines, like American Airlines. Well, the Heat lost American Airlines.
Yeah, big one. Coors Field.
Coors Field, yep. Yeah, so those are all good ones.
So that's sad. My cool throne is friend of the program, recurring guest Max Homa.
We have a very cool story entering the Open Championship. He is paired with Tiger Woods.
You guys are nervous. I'm nervous.
Very nervous. I literally sent him the clip from Hoosiers when they measured the rim.
Being like, dude, it's 10 feet. Don't worry about it.
I'm worried for Max because Max, he's a sensitive man. And he's going to be deep in his feels.
Like it or not, this is his hero that he's playing with. Yeah.
And Max is going to – I'm just afraid that he's we did out of nine years ago asking for a practice round and now he's playing with him in a major you know what positive vibes for him this is great or should we try to like break down tiger for like make tiger seem like the enemy for max well he's also he's also teamed up with what's his name fitzpatrick yeah yeah like what should we do like for max to to to you know break down tiger so that like max tiger would fuck your wife and he wouldn't care about it okay let's just be honest he would so use that energy bro that's not a bad strategy i i also that's the truth that is the day tiger's a self-admitted sex addict he would do that and he wouldn't feel any remorse harness that and then win was that too much it was i think just right it was just right do you remember the picture of tiger woods when he dressed up like mac daddy santa yeah that's like my favorite like. Just look at that picture and think to yourself, look at this man.
He puts on his nipple clamps one at a time, just like the rest of us. Yeah.
Oh, man. All right, Max, you got this.
Yeah. If you need more, Max, just let us know.
We will go way harder. That was just a tip.
The Max Slam is what you guys call it, right? Making the cut at all four. If he does it, he would do it in 2022 as well so he's made it double double max slam before this year super max he made it up the open last year and then missed all three the other three last year but this year all three he's made what a streak i love it it's like a low fidelity hip-hop channel so hopefully you can get the job done forever we're pulling for him except for that time yeah what's that hank why were you shaking your head no hank's already moved on to the mini golf did i not take what you taught what you taught us and apply it to another thing fidelity um can i actually ask a quick question can i see your phone did you take any videos from the course today no none no pictures no videos also cool he's gonna go to sleep just re-watching the course barstool store 20 off christmas in july all day today wednesday thank you we got some great we're gonna be wearing the uh golf shirts honestly like i'm not just hyping it up i play better in the park i take rollback golf shirts they're nice they're so comfortable they're nice 20 i almost got a par wearing one of the rowback shirts.
There you go. Hang the banner.
Alright, let's get to... God damn it, Jake.
This is Jake being overly polite yet extremely sarcastic. And there's no way to tell which side of the line he's on.
Wait till you see the new PMTV coming out because Jake let out one of the most primal let's goes I've ever heard. It was a good point.
It was a good rally. Not ironically.
Alright, let's get to Joey Chestnut and then on the other side you'll hear us with Roan and Pardon My Bake. We're brought to you.
All protein bars generally taste the same, but not OneBars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.
Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter. And only one Hershey's Cookies and Cream protein bars is made with Hershey's Cookie Bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.
OneB bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick me up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout. One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut and blueberry cobbler.
Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com okay we now welcome on the greatest american that has ever lived he is the hot dog champion it is joey chestnut joey does it feel a little awkward me saying you're the greatest american that ever lived because we we do think that we we truly think that on this show dude it's it's weird. You know, I'm just a goofy guy.
I'm shy. And I just love to eat.
I found my calling. Yeah.
Yeah, I'd say so. I mean, you are the greatest eater to ever walk the face of the earth.
I think it's safe to say that. It's a weird feeling knowing that, yeah, it's like when it comes to the 4th of July, it's like I could have a bad day and uh i'm still gonna smoke him yeah i mean you you also demonstrated quite a range of skills you were like the john wick of eating you had you had a protester bum rush you and you just snapped into like i don't know what it was like cia mode and you put him in a headlock and put him down did was that just you reacting on instinct or was there any training that kicked food aggression i uh i'm like i'm a nice dog but uh he got in the way of the food yeah and uh yeah it was it was real quick i thought it was an accident then i noticed the guy with the mask and so it really went into just instinct i had to get him away from me and uh get back to eating all right so i want to give you the chance now because I know I saw afterwards you apologized.
I want you to take back that apology. That guy showing up on the 4th of July trying to mess with the greatest American of all time, he deserved to be put in a headlock.
So now's your chance. Let's take back that apology.
Fuck that guy. I don't know if I i just i said i regret the whole situation and it was he caused the whole situation his parents need to be uh taught it he's like he's a kid he's 21 years old and he's just uh i don't know what kind of privilege he came from but uh it's just ridiculous his parents need to be put in a headlock yes yes and if you And if you remember, Joey, when I competed in 2016, there was a protest as well.
It was the far side of the table, so you didn't have to put anyone in a headlock. I didn't even know that we were allowed to put people in headlocks.
I kind of regret myself not like I could go back in time, change one thing. It'd be to put that protester in a headlock because who knows if they were coming for you.
Like, I been better defense for you well they were yeah they were throwing stuff i think they got you with fake blood yes or pain and that's like i'm really lucky this guy wasn't uh yeah he didn't actually really attack me but uh and now now i'm getting like hate mail from all all the uh vegans so who knows i'm hoping they don't uh start retali. They'll forget in like a week.
That's their week to get all hot and bothered about something. They all focus their energy on like a letter writing campaign.
You'll be good. You'll be good.
Don't worry about it. From a physical standpoint, though, like your body, how long does it take you to recover from a hot dog eating contest? This year was a little bit it was hot and that it adds a little bit extra time also the injury on my leg so I started taking some painkillers and painkillers they uh everybody knows they they slowly they constipate you a little bit that's a very dangerous combination you're taking like a constipating drug yeah it took a little bit longer I usually I'm feeling fine after a day and a half i'd say it took about four days for me to really feel normal normal oh wow yeah but my leg's starting to feel better uh i'm gonna get this cast off on wednesday tomorrow and uh hopefully don't need surgery wait so the leg because that was the other part of the you know it became the protester but you won the hot dog eating competition on one leg was it did it i'd have to imagine it had to like slow you down a little bit not being as stable getting that wide base that you need to to chow down on some dogs oh yeah i didn't want to tell anybody this i didn't want to give the the competition any hope but uh i broke my leg like seven months ago with the tibia fibula they came through the skin then I had infection after infection and then I was finally back to jogging and then a month ago I I uh tore it or ruptured a tendon in the front of my uh tibia and uh dude it and there was a moment I thought for a little bit I wasn't gonna be able to compete I, I thought.
But the doctor put it in the hard cast and immobilized it, and I was able to go out there. What's that conversation like? I'd imagine it's like a football player being like, Doc, can I go? Can I play? Were you like, Doc, can I eat? Can I chow down on some dogs? Yeah, it was like, what are my options? It really, really hurts.
I can't walk. He's like, well, you can stand up on it as long as you stay planted.
It shouldn't hurt too bad. And he wouldn't give me any cortisone because I have a history of infection.
But yeah, he just said, don't move around too much. The pain won't bother you.
And I was able to get it done. So what's the backup plan there? If you couldn't have stood up, would you have been able to compete sitting down? And how do you think that would have affected you? Yeah, I did one practice on a stool, kind of a high stool.
And I did 54. So I would have still won if I had to.
So I still, I would have still won if I did,

if I had to,

but I,

but that it goes back.

If they saw me eating on a stool, they might,

the other years it's,

it's hard for people to push their body.

Yeah.

And when they know that I'm going to be so far ahead of them,

but if,

if,

if they knew I wasn't going to do well,

then they might be able to push themselves a little bit harder.

If they,

if they see any weakness at all,

they could be like,

this is our year and they could,

they could go a little bit harder.

how to do well, then they might be able to push themselves a little bit harder. If they see any weakness at all, they could be like, this is our year.
And they could go a little bit harder. How many hot dogs do you think you could eat on one of those inversion tables if you were hanging upside down? Oh, my God.
It'd definitely be harder because gravity wouldn't be helping you. In fact, that's one of my exercises.
I pretty much go upside down and i swallow air just to get all the muscles to work uh it's i in 10 minutes it you wouldn't be able to dunk either or maybe it would be a mess yeah i don't know maybe 30 that's how you should train next time it's like if you if you train under those conditions yeah that would it could be dangerous yeah have somebody close by that's certified in the Heimlich. Yeah.
Okay, so are you – this is a tough question, but do you think you're bad for competitive eating at this point because you dominate so much? Has there been any thought of like maybe next year don't even dunk at all, just raw dog and just go dry bun and just dominate that way, like to give it a little bit more spice be like I can beat you guys any which way I beat you on one leg I beat you with a protester I beat you when it's hot I beat you when it's cold like start challenging yourself to beat them in different ways so that like I don't know like you'd be like we look back it's like yeah Joey Chestnut won all these and then he started he was so good that he had to win different ways so that everyone had even like a little bit of a chance I don't know yeah it it it's uh I don't think I need to do that I think I think it'd be a little bit more fun if I got a sponsor involved and said hey if you get close if this there's an eater who qualifies with over 65 hot dogs they get a 30 000 bonus so they'll have motivation to work their butts off uh i i i want to go there i want to break i want to make a new record everybody knows that uh i'm getting older so it's it's a little bit more work every year and i uh it's it's like a point of like all right i can still do this and I want to get a record I'm not going to find excuses this year sucked that I knew going into it I probably wasn't going to get close to the record but uh I'm definitely not going to set it up harder for myself to that I won't be able to break a record but uh I think I want to I want to give the other find a way to get the other years motivated to to push me. That'd be the best way for me to get a record.
Jeez, the best way for me to get to 90 hot dogs would be somebody else eating 88. That's how you make some gains.
Okay, so two questions off that. Is 90 the goal? Is 90 the number? That's the most I've ever eaten in an hour and it was it was rough but but the most i've ever eaten in 10 minute practice is 82 wow so but it does perfect conditions perfect hot dogs i'm feeling i'm feeling tits i'm feeling really good and uh dude so it's who knows i definitely 80 is possible for me but i it's more possible if somebody's pushing me yeah kobayashi will come back oh this year the end of this year is going to be a weird year for me because uh my my contract with major league eating and nathan's is going to be over and uh so it'll be my first year in a, long time that I can actually eat against Kobayashi.

So I, I could, I, we, we could find me and him could find a way to compete because he, he'll never compete with major league eating again.

His, uh, they have these, just a childish contract dispute, but, uh, there's a chance that I might be able to eat against him.

Wow. That's interesting.

So you're going to, you're going to be a free agent for the first time really in, in your professional career. Yeah, that's wild.
You get to see what else is out there. I was joking around.
I was like, well, the Live Tour, there'll never be like the Saudi Public Investment Fund will never sponsor a hot dog eating contest. But I think if it's you against Kobayashi.
They're not pork. As long as they're all beef hot dogs, they might be all about it.
There we go. I mean, that's the way to grow the game.
I would love to see you compete against Kobayashi because the rivalry you guys had I thought was really good for the sport. Yeah, people want to see the best compete.
And they don't want to see promoters and contract disputes get in the way of seeing the best. Yeah, so I was looking through some of your records last week after the competition and seeing how diverse your set of records is for eating.
What would you say, though, is the most impressive one? Which competition are you the most proud of? Is it the hot dog eating contest because that's the one that's got the biggest spotlight? Or I was looking at, like, the poutine and the hard-boiled eggs. That seems like a really difficult one to have.

Hard-boiled eggs was amazing.

Yeah, 141 in I think eight minutes.

That was – it was almost – it was beautiful.

They were just dancing down, and I love hard-boiled eggs.

So they digested pretty quick, but then my body absorbed everything,

and then I started smelling like sulfur. Yeah.
I remember the next day i got on the plane and i it was hot in louisville and i started sweating and it's it's it's it's stunk awful it smelled like yeah somebody died that's that's got to be the worst plane trip ever sitting next to someone who just ate 140 hardball legs yeah it's not me, somebody probably tweeted about that after they got off the plane. They're like, the guy next to me smelled like he ate 140 hard-boiled eggs.
And it turns out they were probably right about this one. Yeah, the hard-boiled eggs is awesome.
And also, it's kind of iconic because Cool Hand Luke, that's one of the first kind of eating challenges in a movie. And an older generation knows it.
And everybody loves hard boiled eggs. So that's an awesome one.
The poutine, I think 25 pounds of poutine. And I was in Toronto for that.
And that one, it's kind of a fluffed up record because they count the gravy. So we don't have to eat all the gravy.
But I probably only actually ate 21 pounds. Pussy.
It was still – that is such a comfort food. I was just bloated and went to sleep and had amazing dreams.
Wait, so when you eat something like that, like you said you love hard-boiled eggs, how long does it take for you to want the taste of that again? Because I would imagine it's like everyone has that one liquor that they got drunk off of and puked when they were a kid or something and they can never drink it again is that how it works with some of these eating challenges where you're like i don't want a hard-boiled egg for another year you know hard boiled eggs wasn't bad because it didn't make me sick there i remember i did a crab cake contest and i when i got on stage i i was like whoa these these crab cakes they smell like fish and they've been sitting out for a couple hours and uh and that one made me sick afterwards i literally i was and then i could and i love crab cakes but i really couldn't have crab cakes for a couple years damn it screwed me up wait uh so i wanted to go back to one thing you said uh you said. You kind of hinted at your own mortality there for a second as an athlete.
You're 38. You're going to be 39 this fall.
Is there an age that you think that you're not going to be able to compete at this high of a level? Can you notice that the bounce back, like is it similar to any athlete where the bounce back is harder? and as as you get older it's harder to train and it's harder to get up for these things yeah the bounce back is definitely harder longer uh it's easier for me to gain weight uh the weight that i put on from the contest it stays on me longer uh the weight i put on from practice stays on longer but it's i mean that's to be expected. But I also, I also know my body better than ever and I have more resources than it.
I have a concierge doctor who will run my blood work and brainstorm new ideas with me. And so, so I, I have more resources and I know my body better than ever.
So I'm going to be able to push it harder than I did when I was, when I was 23 or 24 and, uh, and, and, and something, yeah, I definitely know my body. Uh, so I, I, I, I, that's why I admire Tom Brady.
He doesn't, he doesn't pretend to be the most, most physically fit person, but he, he knows his body and he's able to make it work for him and, and for the, and for the gig. And that's what I'm going to do.

I'm not trying to be super athletic looking.

I'm trying to just do my job.

As we progress through the season, every fan knows that big wins are hard to come by and

tough losses are even harder to accept.

You're on the JC12 method. Yeah.
Wait, so Tom always says, you know, he wants to play until he's 45,

which I think he's going to hit this year.

Is there a number that you want to play till? Is there an age that you're like, I want to win this at 50?

I want to win this at 55, whatever it may be.

I want to, as long as I'm healthy, you can count me in.

45 would be awesome.

But, yeah, I really want to recover from this leg injury so I can push my body hard again. This whole leg injury, it screwed up.
I couldn't even get on a Peloton. So my cardio was all screwed up all year.
I was winded during the contest this year. I was breathing like a Batman through my mouth.
If you're breathing through your mouth, you're not eating yeah and uh so so i needed to get in better shape and so i can push harder damn i mean that's yeah it does make sense though that that being able to be in good cardio having good cardio performance is a big part of eating a lot because obviously you need to be able to get down air and you need to be able to breathe under control to make all the rest of your muscles relax if you're in like a panic mode i can see how that just like freezes everything up you're right absolutely don't i was like stay calm don't panic be happy it's it's like happy gilmar i'm trying to find my happy place and just uh yeah relax i just got bummed out thinking about a world without joey chestnut competing on july 4th i don't know i don't want to think about that. Yeah, I don't want to think about that.
Paris, banish the thought. Yeah, but, I mean, it's, you know, every athlete has to think about the day that they can't perform anymore.
I'm hoping more it's like 10, 12, you know, maybe just let us die before you quit. I'm going away before you guys.
Okay. Yeah.
What does your doctor say? Like, how much weight do you gain after a competition? Is your doctor like, hey, this is bad. This is really bad for you.
I'd imagine it has to be bad for you. There's been times where he runs my blood work right after a contest, and he says, oh, your cholesterol levels are a little bit high.
But if he runs my blood uh a little bit farther away from the contest three weeks away from a contest uh everything looks really normal uh he's he's he's not really my old doctor she was worried about the weight gain during the summer i would i would do a contest during the summer almost every week and i would put on 40 pounds during the summer whoa she was really not happy with that and uh but i've gotten a little bit smarter about being a little bit more selective about the contest like i i think my next contest will be for raising canes i'm doing chicken fingers so i'm trying to space them out every three weeks and uh so it's so i i am being smarter about how hard I push my body and making sure I got the recovery period. Wait, how many Raisin Cane's chicken fingers are you going to be able to eat? Because we – they're a sponsor of ours.
We love Raisin Cane's. One love.
Yeah, we were in New Orleans for the final four. Over like a five-day period, we might have you beat because we ate so much Raisin canes.
I only get five minutes to eat, so I'm trying to get 50 down in the five minutes. I think you can do 50.
Yeah, you got 50 in you. I've seen you go to work.
They're not small. Yeah, no.
I'm not joking. Like over a four-day period, I probably ate 75.
Yeah, they're damn good. They do a good job there, so I'm amped for that.
Are you going to get

any of the bread, the

toast that they have? Get it buttered on both sides

if they have any of the bread. Yeah, show up the competition.

That's the way to have it. I'm not screwing around with sauce.

I'm not screwing around with bread. I'm going for

the most I can eat tender

fingers in five minutes.

Is there any competition that

you have refused to do? Like a food that

you're like, I hate that food. I will not eat it.
It's not even that I hate it. There's a raw oyster eating contest in New Orleans every year.
And I just can't bring myself to do it. I know that I would eat so many that it would probably get me sick.
They're so salty in that slimy texture. Just the thought of all that goo in my stomach that goo yeah in my stomach it just uh it makes me nauseous you could probably eat i i think you could eat a thousand oysters in an hour and that's another thing oysters they come in different sizes so if they're the right size oysters yeah definitely if they're if they're some of those big big mama ones uh it would slow me down it would be a little bit rougher but uh yeah small wishers who knows maybe i'll do it one of these days i'm always looking for a reason to go to new orleans yeah what's what's the food that someone has you beat at right now that you're like eyeing because i know that each food is different and some some eaters have like a specialty what's that what's that competition that we can look out for it's like this guy is just dominating milk right now and i gotta get better at the milk category yeah the last the last couple of years there's there's a wing fest in buffalo and it attracts like 40 000 people and i i think it's actually the last three years they had the contest i lost uh so i just for some reason i every year i've been putting together put i just haven't been able to put together a good contest uh it's probably because i i party in buffalo a little bit but uh dude yeah that's one contest this year i'm gonna put some work in and make sure i uh don't go out and uh yeah that that's that i'm damn it and then it hurts because the people in buffalo yeah they love that they're so proud of their buffalo wings and then i then i go there and i screw up and i don't i don't deliver an awesome number shit you see we have a big audience in buffalo if you see joey chestnut out on the town the night before the buffalo wing contest i want you to slap him in his face tell him go home get some rest You've got work to do tomorrow.
Buffalo, it's a 4am city and all the bars have good bar food. It's a fun one.
It's tough for me to stay in in Buffalo. So speaking of that, I know that when last time we had you on five, six years ago, I asked you about what, you know, what the fan situation, the groupie situation is for the, for Joey Chestnut right now.
Is Joey Chestnut, you have like each city, there's maybe some females who are like, oh, Joey's in town, got to hit him up. No, I've been really good lately.
I'm actually engaged to get married. Oh, all right, congrats.
Yes. All right, wait, so hold on.
So just at least are you going to tell your new – I hope everything works out, but are you going to be like, hey, just don't break up with me a week before the hot dog eating competition? Yeah, that was a rough one. The only – I say it.
The best part about Joey Chestnut is the only thing that can beat Joey Chestnut is a broken heart. That's the only time he lost.
Yeah, that was rough. It's all right.
It all worked. You know what? After that happened, happened I went back to the drawing table and I came back hungrier than ever and I realized I love winning more than I love anything else I love Brie she knows that I travel a lot but I'm is Bree, you said? Yeah.
Yeah. That's perfect that she's named after cheese.
Yeah. She's my stinky Bree.
Yeah. Wait, does she cook? Does she cook for you? And does she have to cook so much every time? Or how does that work at dinner? She does a great job.
She cooks some awesome. Yeah, she cooks hot dogs for me for practice.
And she'll cook great food. But she can cook 80 hot dogs faster than pretty much anybody I've ever seen.
That's match made in heaven. I love it.
I love it. If you don't mind, real quick, I want to talk about how you got your start in professional eating.
Because I've heard, I've read a lot of stories about you. You knew that you were a fast eater, obviously, like you would impress your friends.
But at what point did you realize, I would like to dedicate my life to training to become the best eater of all time? It wasn't until I did my first contest. And my little brother, my little brother saw me after that.
And once I got on stage, I just loved it. I was like, shit, I don't have to hold back.
It was a lobster eating contest. I'd never even eaten lobster.
I didn't know what I was doing. And I was 21 at the time.
It was like true love, I guess. Like, shit, I didn't know I loved something this much.
And yeah, it was because all my friends knew I was a big eater but if i was in public i didn't want to make it really show off or or really show it because then it becomes like i get embarrassed about it but uh when i was on stage for the first time i i i didn't have to hold back i i could they were pushing me the audience was pushing, dude, this is, this is it. And then, and there was a contest two weeks later in Stockton, California.
I ended up winning that one. And then, then there was a qualifier for Nathan's 4th of July contest.
And I won that. And then I got third Nathan's that year.
So it was, as soon as I did, did the first qualifier, the goal was like, all right right i need to beat kobayashi yeah if i'm gonna do this weird thing i gotta go all the way wait so you you say that you always were a big eater what is the weirdest thing i would imagine your friends knowing this like any friend group like oh our our friend has this incredible skill would they what's the weirdest thing your friends ever challenge to eat? Because I'd imagine there's some very funny, like, behind-the-scenes, private, you know, like, hey, Joey, you can't eat two pizzas tonight or something like that. Well, yeah, when I was in – so I went to the San Jose State.
When I went to college, I was 17. And for some reason, they put me in the dorms with this 21-year-old football player.
And he was an offensive lineman. And he could eat pretty good.
But one day, he brought home this giant burrito. And he couldn't finish it.
And I was like, dude, you can't. And I was giving him a hard time.
And he got all mad. And then so he went out and got me a burrito and tried to see if i could eat it and i i polished it off really really uh comfortably and uh it was like oh it's it's uh i definitely have an uh i owe some sort of gift yeah i i would imagine like if i if i were stumbled upon a 17 year old joey chestnut and found out that you had that skill i would be like let's go just like pool shark people let's go to like random places and be like I bet I bet like I bet my boy can eat like four pizzas and like get you know a couple hundred bucks off everyone's action it's uh I think the first time I was uh yeah I was 20 or no I was 17 still I was in the dorms and somebody had a bottle of mad dog and that was the the first time I actually got paid to any kid.
I was like, they were like, I was like, oh, can anybody drink this whole bottle? And I was like, for what? And there's like five bucks. And it was, don't do that at home.
It's a bad thing. I disagree.
Mad Dog is my favorite thing in the entire world. That's a very college story.
Yeah. Yeah.
There are certain things that bring me back to being in college just thinking about mad dog uh and chicken fingers and those things uh it brings me back what was your favorite flavor mad dog mine was the bling bling blue raspberry there was jeez i'm not i think there was a purple one yeah purple rain i was very fond of yeah that was a good one i like the red one what was the red one uh there was uh banana it was like Bananas Jubilee, I think there was a purple one. Yeah, Purple Rain.
That was a very fond of. Yeah.
That was a good one. I like the red one.
What was the red one? It was like Bananas Jubilee, I think, was one of the red ones. And then there was a Fruit Punch, too.
Yeah, I like the Fruit Punch one. I'm somewhat of a connoisseur of Mad Dog.
They sent me. Check it out.
Yeah, we got something here. They sent me a special one in 2020.
It's the limited edition Pina Cooler. It's delicious delicious i've had two sips of it you won't finish that right now i won't that's correct that's correct i've got to show the tape later if i was if i was 17 and joey jaws just not dared me i would absolutely pound this thing right now yes um so i mean you're you're on top of the world right now um if there's besides – actually, you know what? With Kobayashi, Big Cat Sidebar, what if we did a rough and rowdy? Ooh.
But the main event was Joey against Takiro Kobayashi. Yeah.
How much we got to pay for that? I have no idea. You're smart.
I would do it for whatever he wants. As long as even we can put in a prize, a purse and I'm fair that'd be awesome let's do that I think that crowd would like it yeah, that would be incredible wow, the gauntlet has been thrown down yes, Kobayashi said you wouldn it, though.
I can do it as long as it's after December. I'm free to do it.
I don't break contracts, but I'll wait until I'm free. Man of honor.
Rated T for team. My name is Paul Heyman.
Special counsel to Roman Reigns and the Bloodlines wise man. Step out of the ropes and onto the in wwe 2k25 an epic wwe themed world ruled by the one and only roman reigns the return of promos plus intergender matches my gm goes multiplayer and more wwe 2k25 available now it is i always so i was lucky enough to obviously be in the competition in 2016 and I always tell the anecdote beforehand in the room you were like they look like fast buns today I can't remember what exactly like how can you tell a fast bun do you know like is it touch is it taste how do you know a bun is fast versus slow you can you can touch it and so if they're slow it'll be a really almost spongy okay and a little bit stale if it's fast it's it's it still has a little bit of moisture in it and it's gonna it's gonna get soggy really fast so but but if it's that if it's that spongy sponginess where you have to squeeze it while it's in the water and it in and this and the staleness it ends up being kind of like sandpaper going down your throat so the so i can tell pretty quick right away if the buns have been sitting out uh and then they're going to be a little bit stale and spongy uh versus a little bit doughy and moist was it fast buns or slow buns this year they're pretty slow this year and i knew going in because luckily like i either there's the female contest right before and so i i was like oh their numbers are all down so it's going to be a little bit of a slow day uh it'll be a little bit harder so and so i but then but some years when the girls kick butt i'm like like, oh, it's going to be, it's going to be good hot dogs.

And I get amped up.

I love it.

I love the idea of just seeing a bun and being like, Ooh, that's a fast bun right there.

Going to dominate.

Yeah.

I get my eyes light up and my mouth is watering.

Like, oh yeah, it's on.

Is there a, uh, is there a drug problem in professional eating?

Like could, is there somebody that just goes out there and gets baked as shit beforehand? No, it's, yeah, I've tried everything. If you're baked, you lose a lot of motivation.
True. You lose that intensity.
The best thing, I get amped up on caffeine beforehand, really strong coffee with some espresso, and I just try to get amped up

and that gets

I don't know, it really kind of aggravates my stomach

so it gets the juices flowing

a little bit

but yeah, there's no

I don't think there's any effective

enhancers for eating

Interesting. That's amazing.

My last last question is just like casually

well, I guess it wouldn't be casually but if you're out with friends, how many large pizzas could you eat? Could I eat? Jeez. I love it when I'm at a bar and it's like they're, they're bar pies and it's so easy just to order another one.
So it's, so I mean, I'll go through five of those while everybody's drinking and it's very casual and and they're not they're not huge pies they're like the 12 inch bar pies yeah and uh and they're just going on so easy beer and pizza it is oh damn it's it's it's yeah there's a reason why it's uh it's so popular your body our bodies are made for it I love the passion that you still have for beer and pizza. That's great to see.
Yes, absolutely. Well, Joey, thank you so much.
You are the greatest American ever lived. Every Fourth of July, I think I've tweeted the same thing like five years in a row, that we're lucky enough to live at the same time as Joey Chestnut, and I mean that.
And let's hope you're doing it for another decade plus. Oh, thank you.
I'll be pushing, and it's great to be on with you guys again. Yeah, absolutely.
And let's do the rough and rowdy thing. We got to do that.
Oh, yeah, do it. Man, you know that guy is really wiry.
I would have to put some work in. Oh, yeah, not fighting fighting it maybe either fight them or uh what if you fought what if you fought and in between each round you had to eat five hot dogs that would be great it's like chess boxing have you seen that yeah except there would be different rounds there's yeah two minute contest then two minutes of boxing what round that would be incredible, yeah.
Holy shit, that would be, yeah, maybe we start,

maybe first round's milk, second round's boxing,

third round's hot dogs.

Oh, I think this is it.

I think we have a plan.

This is magic.

I think it might be, it might go hot dogs, milk, then boxing.

Oh, man, all right, well, we'll put some brains to it. We'll definitely be in touch.
So we appreciate it, Joey. Oh, thanks, guys.

Pardon my bake. Mount Rushmore with Roan.
Back. Was this the third pardon my bake? Third or fourth? Fourth if we count D&D last time.
This was actually, it was pretty crazy coming inside after being outside. Yeah, it's a whole different vibe inside.
It's different. It's a different skin.
Eyes are nothing on the walls, though. I sat down at this chair, and I started to think of different things for the Mount Rushmore.
My brain was activated. And I was like, man, it's because we're in a different space right now than we were outside.
And then I realized, no, maybe just because now you're really fucking hot. We're really high, and the lights are on.
All right. It's back.
yeah gorilla glue who are the other guests on the uh the part of my bakes before none oh really nick and dnd yeah no no no that's not what he asked what do you mean yes who are the other guests on part of my bake before yeah i say if you count the right, you're right. But that wasn't part of my bake.
But yes, I see what you're saying. Got it, got it, got it.
We didn't have anyone else though, right? I don't think so. I think it's just been the boys.
There was one time in Vegas right after we got tricked by the Evander Holyfield catfish, which I still, for the life of me, wish I could understand what that person was trying to do they just some guy sent us an email was like hey you want to interview Evander Holyfield I'm his agent and we're like yeah we're in he's like cool well he's actually staying at the same hotel as you so let's do it four o'clock like this room at the hotel and we went and or no he's coming our room and we just sat there ready to go and like we sat there for an hour in our hotel room not a big inconvenience and then he emailed and he was like just kidding i made this up damn that and the remember the fake mike leach that we interviewed yeah and we didn't realize that was yeah that guy got us good for a while yeah but Yeah, the Vanderhoofyfield. Like, he pranked us, and we didn't realize it.
That was, yeah, that guy got us good for a while.

Yeah.

But yeah, the Vanderhoof, he pranked us and we didn't have to go anywhere.

It's kind of a shitty prank.

Yeah, right.

He didn't get you.

Right.

You had to relax.

We had to go some, like, a half hour drive somewhere.

He has no, like, video evidence of us being.

It's just us sitting in a room.

You're just really ethical about the fact that you got pranked and you're just being honest about it. You don't even have to tell anybody.
I almost respect that in a weird way. I think that was also the first Bubba incident because he got his entire hotel room robbed.
Oh, yeah. I also saw Rick Pitino in the elevator.
Really? Did he come on you? No. Definitely wasn't going down.
That wasn't a joke, by the way. That was just a statement of fact.
Did he come on you? Yeah, that was a question I ask about every coach you see. Everyone knows that.
All right. So, Mount Rushmore.
What was the other one we did? We did one where we. It was just like high foods.
Yeah, you did Doritos and salsa. Yeah, you ever use Doritos as a chip to dip into the salsa? No.
No. You should try it.
I still haven't, actually. Who's come up with that? I feel like I'm going crazy that you guys have never done that before.
Into queso, but not into salsa. Yeah, into salsa, man.
Salsa. wild.
You've always been wild. Straight up, I'm built different.

I've always looked at you differently from that moment.

Where does it come from?

Where is the inspiration?

I know we've already mentioned him a couple times on the show,

but shout out Sass, who for our, Hank,

you want to guess what our,

I asked him to go into Dwayne Reed

to get some snacks for the road.

What are the two snacks he came out with?

He actually was like, I'm going to Dwayne Reed.

Do you need anything?

I was like, yeah, grab some snacks, pretzels, chips, chips. Load us up for a road trip.
Load us up. Guess what he got? There, did you see? Everything in there.
The whole store. Snacks? Yeah.
Not candy. I asked for snacks.
He got snacks. It was very broad about it.
Jerky? Okay. Popcorn? No.
No. He got Pringles? Plain Pringles.
And red Pringles and yellow Lay's. Lay's original.
And it was the most unoriginal. No one opened the bag.
No one opened either one of them. That disgusting grease bucket of chips.
Those are fucking terrible. It's like he got them wrong as a joke.
Dude, Road halfway here, he's like, did someone request these? Because I wanted to rip on them, but I didn't know if it was someone's preference, it would be rude. Literally nothing was going through his head.
He just had an empty brain going in there and saw brands he recognized. It was like, these selections in there are so bad.
They didn't have anything. All they had this i was like dude they have pringles in there he's like yeah i know i got pringles and it's not even sour cream and onion it's not it's not blue it's not salt and vinegar he didn't think dude he didn't apply anything he didn't apply himself in that situation that's like i you don't want to be like a judgy person but if i saw someone just I was just walking down the street and I saw someone just fucking going like this inside of a yellow Lays bag.
I just like, I don't, I never want to know that person. And they have no personality.
It's the least personality of any snack. I honestly didn't even think that they sold those yellow Lays anymore.
I thought everyone. I thought.
No. It wasn't good with a scub.
No. What do you do with it? You don't dip it in anything.
You could pour it on a sub, maybe. It falls apart in your fingers on its way to your mouth.
I think it's a good chip, at least. Dude, but there's...
I wouldn't get it as a snack at a gas station. I would not get it as a snack station, but I would always get it as a side at a...
Get a ruffle. Get a barbecue.
Get a sour cream. Get a bakelakes.
I wouldn't go into a gas station and come out with. Kettle.
Get a kettle. What about a kettle? We are in a kettle.
You know who gets regular lays? People in jail. When you're in jail as your snack, you're like, here's a dry ham sandwich, and here's a bag of regular plain classic lays.
Yes. They're probably hyped.
Yeah. It is probably.
You're right. You are in that in that, in that sense.
We're neglecting our jail. That actually, that actually cut us weight in our jail audience is probably fucking punching air right now.
All right. So we're going to do, they're just like, these guys are misrepresenting it.
Dude, why is there nothing on the wall? Yeah, there is nothing on the walls. Anyway sass is right there have you heard everything we said this is like an always sunny moment he's literally sitting right there sass would you like to defend yourself come on the mic and defend yourself sass's introduction to part of my team i think think he literally just...
Did you guys know he was right there? Yeah, I knew he was right there. Oh, dude, he's like fucking blending into the couch.
He knows he fucked up. All right, I didn't want the Lay's chips.
That's why I know and open the Lay's chips. Who would want them? I don't know.
You said get a big bag of chips or a big bag of pretzels. I couldn't find pretzels.
I said pretzels or chips. said big bag and i said you said big bag also there's tons of pretzels in the store they had chocolate covered pretzels and that was all they had it was a fuck you to us at me and then i got the pringles you saw i got the pringles i got the pringles which i think everyone can agree pringles are an amazing chip which pringles red yeah pringles redingles red You said sour cream and onion All Pringles are good

That's why we

Did we not finish the entire thing of Pringles

Within like an hour?

No one was eating the Pringles

Except fucking yellow leis

No one wanted the yellow leis

That's actually the testament right there

Everyone here knows

That I will eat literally anything

And I didn't even eat those leis

I didn't eat the yellow leis either

But I bought them

Thank you. the testament right there.
Everyone here knows that I will eat literally anything and I didn't even eat those L.A.s. I didn't eat the L.A.s either.
Nobody did. I bought them.
I was like, someone will want these. I'll bring them back.
I'll bring them back tomorrow. You have the receipt? No, I didn't get a receipt.
They didn't have pretzels. to get some like.
Yeah. But then I was like, you guys are going to make fun of me if I got crackers.
No. Dude.
I was going to get Triscuits. Triscuits are incredible.
You're just naming better snacks. But I was like, no one's going to want these.
You gave me. And I remember being in the store being like, this is a lot of pressure.
And you gave me a direct order. You said chips or pretzels.
They didn't have pretzels. They didn't have pretzels, so I got two bags of chips.
Have you ever eaten a Lay's original? Yeah, and I don't like them. You said snacks.
They should have been everything. Why didn't it occur to you? Because I don't know.
We don't all have the same palates. But did it occur to you to buy a snack that you like? That's why I bought the Pringles.
And we ate all the Pringles. So you think so low of me that you're like, Big Cat will want these.
No, you said big bag of chips, and I grabbed a bit. I was going to grab Tostitos.
Dude, we think they're so good. I was going to grab Tostitos.
Tostitos are great. I was going to grab Tostitos.
They didn't have Tostitos. What? They don't have anything at that Dwayne Reed.
I think it just speaks to the fact that you like. They barely even secretly hate all of us no deep down inside you're like I hate peasants he's like I'm so different from these people I would never get them the same things I like we couldn't have the same things he doesn't want to put us on to Triscuits it was a lot of pressure and I was like well I'm going to stick to the list they don't even know about this I'll stick to what Big Cat asked okay there are definitely pretzels in that place there are.
There are, but not that. I will buy you pretzels.
Yeah, I'll go. I was looking at them.
I was on my hands and knees. Looking at the bottom aisle.
I can't wait until I go in when we're back in Manhattan, and it's just literally like a display right as you walk in. It's just like Lay's and Pringles, and that's it.
That's the first thing you saw. It's Lay's, Pringles, and then they have a whole aisle of Cheez-Its.
That's Cheez-I Wait. Wait, what? Cheez-Its aren't chips or well.
I said snacks. No, no, no.
I said snacks. I said, I'm going to go Dwayne Reed.
Do you want anything? You said, yeah, get a big bag of pretzels or chips. Snacks for the ride.
I did say snacks. Dude, you got to follow the spirit of the law, not the letter of the law.
You don't want to get someone's snack order on. I was going to come back with no chips or pretzels.

I think they were on sale.

I would have gotten either of those.

If I was me, I would have gotten Wheatans and Tristons.

Oh, my God, stop.

I think you saw a discount next to those items, too.

I think you were like, fuck these.

No, I didn't look at the price tag on those.

Empty your pockets.

That's damn.

50% on. See you at the bank.
Okay. All right.
Now that we got all that business out of the way. That was important.
Dude, he is totally blending into that couch. Yeah, he was high.
That was very funny. All right.
Part of my big Mount Rushmore. The topic is things people forget slash fun facts.
Very broad. Yeah.
Some dispute. Hank, I feel like, isn't it.
He's good, though. Hank.
He's ready. No, we gave him a stat.
Remember? I'm ready to roll. Did Jake give you anything? Jake has given me some stuff.
Love it, guy. I'll let the audience guess.
I only have three right now, so I'm kind of fucked. Go off the top.
This is just like the most like open for interpretation category of all time correct correct all right so ron as our guest you're gonna start and then we're gonna come back to hank he'll go twice and then back around snake draft let's not get lost in the snake okay cool uh my first fun fact is that Thai food is only prevalent in America because of a directive by the Thai government. And they, in the early nineties, wanted to spread Thai culture as a form of soft power.
And so there's Thai food all over completely disproportionate to the amount of Thai people in the United States. That's crazy.
It's like they have an army, but their army instead of bullets gives you like peanuts in your pad. Pad Thai.
Pad. Pad.
Pad. Pad.
Pad. Pad.
Pad. Pad.
Pad. Pad.
Pad. Pad.

Pad.

Pad. people in the United States.
That's crazy. It's like they have an army.
Yeah. Their army instead of bullets gives you like peanuts in your pad Thai.
Can I just say that it fucking worked? Yeah. We love Thai food.
We want to go to Thailand. I love the Thai.
It's like the 10th or 11th most populous Asian country. I think the one right after it's like Myanmar or something like that.
We're not eating Myanmar.

Holy fuck. I didn't.
Sweet.

It's a PSYOP. Yeah, Thailand.

It's a Thai-op. Why can't I say Thai?

Thailand.

Thailand.

The top five. Thailand is

11th? Something like that.

10th or like 9th, 10th, 11th or something like that.

That's crazy.

Yeah, I might just be making stuff up. But with the number of the population.
So it was like a government law. They're like, we want to spread some power and we want to improve the image of Thailand throughout the world.
And we're going to do it through cuisine, through some food. That's like what they did with the Nasir and the Garrett McNamara.
Oh, have like now it's the tourism tourism paid for him to come surf to make videos yeah and then for like more tourists to come in a weird way isn't that like what the united states has done like unintentionally with hamburgers and shit mcdonald's and and mickey mouse like our culture soft culture yeah we're just sneaking into euro disney next thing you know they're like oh we're not gonna fight a war against those guys they made bugs bunny yeah oh thailand is number 11 it's 11 it goes china india indonesia pakistan bangladesh japan philippines vietnam turkey iran thailand and what's after thailand myanmar myanmar south korea iraq is I guess they're an Asian I don't really get that much Bangladeshi food that's also a fun fact fun fact dude people also forget that people have forgotten about Thai food thank you to Thailand that was incredible that they did that they sat down and were, what's the best part of our country? Oh, yeah, it's our bomb-ass food. Wait, but does that mean that Myanmar might have just as good food and we're not eating it? We just don't know because their government isn't pushing the cuisine like that.
They might have the... And then you know what? If it's at all similar to Thai food, people will be like, oh, yeah, it's basically Thai food.
It's like, well, you should have sent your chef soldiers across the world.

Planted their flag.

Do you do that Thai food, that Thai place in Brooklyn?

Thai-holic?

No.

I just like the name, too, because it makes Thai-holic.

It does sound nice.

Yeah, about Thai food.

When they have the little peppers next to the dishes symbolizing what's mild and what's

spicy, and they've got different levels of peppers, what do think is the universal code for like the hottest pepper four peppers four on the menu i was thinking like four peppers next to each other feels like the most yeah four i think it's four too i think if it's five that's overdoing it yeah if it's three that could everybody be like i could eat three peppers and if it's four they're just jacking off the ball system yeah which is the greatest scoring system of all time balls yeah why did he do five why not it's perfect what do you think it should have been i don't know it has nothing to do with five olympic rings yeah what what's he just like five five balls because it's half a 10 yeah it's like easy to understand you don't want to steal days but you think it'd be like, how many balls are on a pool table? 10? 15 plus the Q. Can that be a fun fact? That's a fun fact right there.
15 plus the Q. And we did forget that.
I would have done 16 balls. I would have done.
It would have been funny if you did like one balls. Yeah it's like still plural like i give this a balls

yeah there's a balls or no balls yeah no balls ball or balls yeah that's the only scale okay good fun fact ron yes uh pft okay um i'm gonna go with the difference between sea lions and seals is sea lions have external ears. So when you see a smooth sea lion looking thing, if it's got ears, then it's a sea lion.
Wait, did you see that video of them attacking the people on the beach? That's what made me think about it. Was it sea lions? That was a sea lion because it had an external ear.
Do they just have like a human ear on the side of their head? I'm just picturing a human ear, a full human ear on a sea ear. It looks like a potato head.
It looks like a shrunken cat ear, like the smallest little cat ear. Really? Yeah.
I guess that was a fun fact. No, that was a good fun fact because I actually never, I've never thought about that.
And now I will. I didn't even know they had external ears.
Can you say it again just so I can kind of, you know, into it's like yeah alligators which i see lions have external ears seals have internal sea lions yeah yeah okay yeah okay that's funny i like that that's fun as fun um all right my fun fact is a little different than your guys i guess a little more dark but i mean people forget matthew broderick killed a person Yeah

Yeah

Did you know that?

I don't know if I forgot that because I don't think I ever knew

Yeah he killed a person

Was it what?

He was driving on the wrong side of the road in England

And he killed

It was like a mom and her daughter

And he killed the daughter

Yeah

No one talks about it

After Ferris Bueller? I think it was Can It has to have been. Can you look at a key fact check for me, Jake? 1987.
1987, yeah. That had to have been after Ferris Bueller.
He was untouchable. Jake, come read about it and then come tell us.
Because I actually, this is one of those fun facts I just have that I'll just throw out there every now and then and I'll be like, what? And I actually haven't really read the whole story. Imagine if you're Matthew Broderick today and you're just listening to your big part of my Take podcast.
Like, fuck! Damn it! Why are they bringing this up? I forgot about that. Yeah.
Dude, Ferris Bueller killed the fucking... Damn.
Right after the movie, though. When did the movie come out? Yeah, it was right.
Yeah. 84? So he was driving on the wrong side.
He said he was sleepy. Confused because it's England? Yeah, well, he said he was sleepy or something.
It's very succession-like. And he just fucking...
Yeah. And everybody knew that it was news? Or did they sweep it under the rug? I think, Jake, you got it.
You want to come get arrested for us? I think so. Again, I didn't have...
This is one of those fun facts i just have in my pocket but i just i don't really know his girlfriend at the time okay and they were driving on a rainy day good they were driving on a rainy day and it was uh there was a downpour stopped at a gas station got back on. The pavement was still slick.
And the women who died were on a family outing. A 63-year-old widow and her 28-year-old daughter.
What? I thought it was one. Fuck.
I might have been a downer. I'm sorry, guys.
No, see, definitely. That's crazy, right? I mean, it's a weird, fun fact.
Yeah. No, it's not very fun.
There's nothing fun about it. When I say it out loud, it's not very fun.
Well, Broderick also sustained a sizable injury. Oh.
Oh. Okay.
So, I don't know. I don't know.
I'm just going to leave. All right.
Thank you, Jake. Oh,.
So maybe not that fun. That was good.
I mean, we just didn't know it. Yeah, I know.
We got Jake to read off a grizzly account of homicide. So there's that.
All right, Jake or Hank. Mine's a little different as well.
We did. We've run the gamut.
I mean, a food psyop of actual fun fact about animals and then matthew brockner killing two people really scott kahn the guy from entourage yeah okay is james kahn's son yeah yes yeah that blew my mind he's like he's uh like co-ag the end. Show me a picture.
He's Ocean's Eleven. I stopped watching that for season three.
You know he's in Ocean's Eleven. Yes, yes, yes.
Wait. Hank.
Oh, that's. That's James Conn's son.
Oh, fuck. You guys.
Yeah. Are you guys doing a bit? You guys didn't know that? No.
I didn't know. I had no idea.
I have not thought of that guy. He's just that guy to me.
That what yeah i saw a picture of him when james con like passed away or something it was like uh it was actually a scott con fan account and was like scott con must be so sad about his dad and i was like there's a scott con fan how many followers i went down to rabbit hole like 31 000 no he's like 31,000. He's a pretty popular actor.
Yeah, like Hawaii Five-0 and random sitcoms and stuff. I know his face, but I never would be like, he's never been like a leading guy.
He was in the Ocean's Eleven. He was one of the Eleven.
Yeah. That's like the only one.
Yeah, I mean, yeah. What else was he? He's a good actor.
I think he was in Las Vegas. He was in the Into the Blue movie with Jessica Alba and Paul Walker.

It's joyous when you realize that those two dudes are related.

Just that moment is fucking a great moment.

Scott Kahn.

It's cool as fuck.

I just can't believe you didn't know that.

I thought everybody knew that.

No.

We can't shame these fun facts.

I'm learning a little bit about myself.

Well, it's also what people forget.

People have maybe forgotten that.

Maybe that's in the recesses of their minds. Bring it to the forefront.
What is this? What is he in? Dude, my next fun fact is... Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, he hasn't been in anything since 2018. Oh, it's a snake? Maybe he has a family.
It's a snake, Roan. Oh, he's gone in 60 seconds.
Great movie. Fantastic movie.
Enemy of the State. I feel like I saw that one.
What is that one? Is that it? Will Smith. Will Smith.
Bong Water. He was Bobby.
Classic. Of course, Bobby.
See, this is why this is fun, because now we can go down to many rabbit holes. Bong Water.
He played the bong. Bobby the bong.
Yeah, it's a 1998 American black comedy film directed by Richard Sears and starring Luke Wilson, Alicia Witt, Amy Locan, Brittany Murphy, Jack Black, and Andy Dick. Star-studded.
Pretty good cast. Okay.
Really good cast. Wow.
It's about a stoner. We got to watch Bongwater.
Never want to kiss that. Yeah, Bongwater.
All right. Hank.
This one's from Jake. The average American generates nearly 4.5 pounds of trash each day What? Yeah, that's good for the average amount Wait, that's a lot of trash I feel like I immediately start thinking chicken bones And I don't know why It's a bunch of wings Like all in wings Yeah, I bet our average is way higher I think if you had to pick Are you a cartoon character? Whether just picking a bunch of wings.
Like all in wings. Yeah, I bet our average is way higher.
Are you a cartoon character? They're just picking a bunch of wings. But like whether this table on average is higher than that, I think we're above.
All right, so you wake up, you take a shit. That's trash.
That's two pounds. Toilet paper.
Wait, is it trash? It's just toilet paper that would be the trash there, not your own. The combination.
No, I don't think your shit.

Would your shit be trash?

I guess so.

I think your shit counts as trash.

I guess that would make sense.

Jake pees a lot.

Yeah.

I do eat lunch, bag, throw it out.

Yeah, it's usually something that comes with a bag and either way too few napkins or way too many napkins.

Correct.

Correct.

And the flimsiest fork.

Yeah.

Sometimes you'll have some heavy-ass trash packaging like some fucking clothes you're getting rid of. And also, yeah, think about like Christmas.
Oh my gosh. Offloading.
Like the tree. That's just so much trash.
I mean, we had everything delivered from like Amazon. That all comes in boxes.
That's a lot of trash. Fuck.
Only 4.5? That sounds low now. Yeah.
I think I'm probably at like six or seven. I generate a ton of recycling.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's just a ton. We should weigh our trash every day.
Just like your chicken bones, your poop. Just put it all in a trash bag.
Containers. Bubba and I were talking the other day about how, like, when it comes to...
that thing that we're you know you don't get that yes yes uh I I don't think recycling is real yeah yeah just period yeah but like 99% not I think it's I think it's mostly fugazi but yeah they're not the other way i think that trash isn't real and they sort out

the recycling for you like they have magnets sucking up tin shit out of your trash this i think it costs more energy to like do the recycling than they're actually saving oh with all this i think that it's like the metal and stuff that sometimes gets recycled but most of it doesn't actually get recycled yeah they just it's not recycling they just are throwing into the special very deep dump.

Yeah.

If you have a job where you have to like do both of them you do your job in half the time which i've done before where you just throw it all out oh yeah that's a good point yeah that's a good point i think i'm done with recycling it's a fucking scam dude dumps kind of like the funny thing is it takes me like literally 05 seconds out of my day. And now I'm pissed off to know that I haven't been like everything I thought I was doing.
You're doing nothing. How many seconds have I wasted over my life? Recycling.
Dumps are kind of a bummer when you think about them. Yeah.
Yeah. Where are they? I never see them.
Landfills. Yeah.
They're just tucked away. Yeah.
Wrong side of the tracks. They're like hills on the side of the highway.
When see a random hill yeah it's usually a landfill right you just gotta know like nobody can ever walk on this place for like the next thousand years yeah that is that's a bummer but there's probably good shit in there yeah deep there yes you're right yeah you could probably make a lot of money there's good shit if you did if you're willing to Yeah. What do you think is the most valuable thing ever thrown out? Probably a baseball card.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, buried treasure or something like that. Yeah.
Someone like throwing a painting away with like a bunch of fucking money in it. Oh, I want to find one of those.
We got a dumpster dive. Let's go dumpster dive.
All right. We got a dumpster dive.
Hank, your second one? No, one no that was your second one alright my next one is Einstein smartest guy alive fucking married his cousin how is that how is he how is he the smartest guy alive and he fucked his cousin? That makes no sense. It's bizarre.
It's also crazy to think that like. The theory of relativity.
Yeah. At the exact same time, like FDR was also fucking his cousin.
Yeah. And married to his cousin.
What's up with this? Did they not know? No. Her last name was Roosevelt.
Yeah. But I'm saying, did they not know it was bad or that they were i i don't know i guess back like 70 years ago people were fucking their cousins yeah like what but how can you be the smartest man alive and be like you know how big the universe is and you can only find your cousin to fuck like what how does that make sense that's bad he's not that smart in my opinion he's an idiot yeah he wasted his brain power what if she was really hot though oh let's see a picture like really hot oh okay she's super hot she's a fucking smoke show so it's uh elsa einstein who's albert's wife she was also his first cousin first cousin and he cheated on her a lot

yeah okay but that's not that bad at least he cheated on her dude but first cousin dude i wonder if he was go ahead maybe sorry this is his first wife that's his first wife oh she's not she's not first cousin wait so his his first wife was not his first cousin? Malevum marriage. No.
So he divorced a non-cousin to marry his cousin. Yes, and this is the smartest man alive.
What are we talking about? He was like, yeah, you're not. This isn't too incestuous enough for me.
I need to fucking. Wait, were Eleanor and Franklin D.
Were they? Frankie D. Were they I think Yeah Damn First cousins is crazy Like that was Imagine trying to do that And run for office now I mean Might work Who knows Why Why is he doing It just doesn't make a shit Dude He divorced But what if Like I wonder if he's like What, the product of Cousins and, like, something crazy happened to his brain and it was just, like, that's, like, that's how.
I'll say if Albert Einstein's brain was the result of Cousins fucking Cousins, then we should get back to fucking Cousins. We gotta get back to West Virginia.
He's back to being the smartest man alive. Right now, he's been downgraded for me.
Personally. Unless there was a method to the madness.
Unless he was thinking it through. Were Frankie D and Eleanor first cousins? They probably were.
What freaks? Crazy. Eleanor, one of the most handsome first ladies we've ever had.
But she was just riding with him while he had some leg things going on. She was like, we're going to fifth cousin removed.
Oh. Okay Okay, so that's like...
That's not... Dude, that's not...
I don't know. Frankie D shouldn't get that back.
There were so many people back then. Albert Einstein first cousin is disgusting.
Imagine being FDR listening to the podcast. Like, no! God damn it.
What even is your fifth cousin? You're probably my fifth cousin. Yeah, right.
So from a different country. Cousins are crazy.
That doesn't exist. Yeah.
All right. Your next fun fact.
My next things people forget. My next fun fact is that New York City is farther east of Washington, D.C.
than it is north of Washington, D.C. And then that just got me thinking about maps.
Oh, dude, those things fuck me up. There are parts of Virginia that are farther west than Detroit, Michigan.
Yes. Yes.
Atlanta, Georgia is farther east than Detroit, Michigan. No, farther west.
Is that right? Yeah. I think so.
We grew up looking at these fucked up maps and they're i don't think i understand direction because of it because like you're flying over the ocean you're not just going in a direction you're like going around you're like going up and you're looping yeah atlanta georgia is farther west than detroit that makes no sense like when you think of like maps and where things should be because like Georgia's touches the ocean. We just need to adjust it a little bit in the frame.
Just adjust the U.S. and make it kind of up and down a little bit.
Yeah, I feel like Michigan is like right in the middle of the country. But it's not even close.
That's wild. Yeah, Michigan's not even close to the middle of the country.
Damn, that's bullshit. The middle country is what, like western Nebraska? Is it?

Yeah, which is so far away from

let's figure out what's going

on out there. Is it

Kansas or Nebraska? I was going to say

like east

Nebraska is where I'm

thinking. Southeast Nebraska.

Oklahoma.

You might be right. Texas is big.

Jake. It's a city called Lebanon Kansas.
Oh yeah. It was in the Bruce Springsteen ad.
Remember? All right. Lebanon, Kansas.
Holy fuck. That's so far away.
Lebanon, Kansas. Lebanon, Kansas to Detroit, Michigan is 949 miles driving.
13 hours. If you go from Detroit to the middle of the country, it's 13 and a half hours.
So the Lions should be in the NFC East. Yeah.
Yeah, I'll take them. Yeah.
Yeah, agreed. We need the Lions and take the Cowboys out.
Yeah, Cowboys. I would to begin with.
Yeah, Cowboys make no sense. There's a bunch of those map ones that just can blow your mind.
Dude, how about the Arizona Cardinals being in the NFC East for a while? Why? Yeah, what was going on there? That didn't make any sense. The Bucs were in the NFC Central.
Yeah, the Rams. Yeah.
We're all over the place. All what's your who's up Ron's up weird I'm googling weird map stuff Giants Giants draft pick last year Aziz Ojolari is the descendant of a Nigerian king his grandfather was named Prince Twins 7-7 and he was called that because he was the sole survivor of his parents' seven sets of twins.
What? He was the sole survivor of seven twins. What? Holy shit, that dude's a beast.
Wait, 14? Yes. 14 kids? Yes, 14 kids.
And they all died? Everyone twins, they all died. He was the sole survivor.
I don't know if at birth. I don't think at birth.
Did he kill him? I don't know. That would be sick, too.
That would be sick, too. I mean, if you have like 13 of your brothers and sisters die and you're still around, like, yeah, you probably killed him.
Yeah. And then you also become king conveniently.
Yeah. Yeah.

I love that. My favorite scene in that movie is Christmas when they give each other the same amount of money and then Al Pacino's like, I need a little money.
He takes it all back. All right, what's your last one? We'll go with another.
Jake? These are the most random. These aren't even.
Dude, what about your local fact? have fun fact i mean it's not a really fun fact but it's a fun fact i guess situate is the most irishtown in america if you google it whoa i got the google backup like percentage wise if you just google the most irishtown in america it just pops up situ like they have spirit. Like they have spirit? Like a lot of spirit? No, like percentage wise.

It's all Irish people?

Does Situate have like that on their welcome to Situate sign?

It's like the Irish Riviera.

But it doesn't say like the most Irish town in America.

But it's like a good little fun fact.

And people are like, no way.

And then they're like, Google.

Are there a lot of native Irish people?

Or is it just Irish descendants?

Yeah, there are.

Irish descendants.

Not actually Irish people. Irish bars? A lot of Irish bars.
Irish food. Yeah.
Not really Irish food. Probably Irish flags everywhere.
A lot of Irish flags. So, yeah.
I mean, it clearly wasn't a hit. Like, you guys are.
No. What are you talking about? That's absolutely a hit.
I didn't know that. And that's also like a crazy claim because like you said.
People are going to be pissed. That's fun to say it.
no way and you're like yep that's the definition of a fun fact how many days is your st patrick's day celebration two people uh multiple well they do that they do the st patrick's day day and then the parade day like that's like the fastest way too for like a city to be put on the map like i've heard like have you ever heard that charleston south carolina has like the best St. Patrick's Day.
It's Savannah like, the fastest way, too, for, like, a city to be put on the map. Like, I've heard, like, have you ever heard that Charleston, South Carolina,

has, like, the best St. Patrick's Day?

It's Savannah, Georgia.

Savannah, yeah.

Savannah, Georgia does.

Just pick a random city.

Like, if I were the mayor of a city, I'd be like, we're going to have the best this.

Crazy Mardi Gras.

Yeah.

Something like that.

We have the best Valentine's Day.

Awesome Halloween.

Everyone fucks.

Romantic X.

You got to try us.

We guarantee it.

Do the best Halloween in America. Right.
You give out the most chocolate in America great claim to fame alright my last fun fact I actually need some help with this because I know it but I don't actually know the reasoning behind it and I think PFT you might that there are just caves in America with cheese in them from yeah no I'm serious like from from who they they store like cheese from the reagan era i'm pretty sure yeah like the price of like do you do you know what i'm talking about are you talking are you talking about like places in america like businesses that are trying to age cheese no no no no no no no like the government has like cheese on like reserve currency yes we have like reserve cheese on deck like our strategic oil that we have we're just like breaking case of emergency here's all our mr president break out the cheese again this is like one of those half fun facts where someone told it to me and i wasn't fully listening the bottom of mount rushmore well yeah so. So the government definitely gives away cheese.

Yeah. There's government cheese, but you're saying

is it aged cheese or government cheese?

Or aged government cheese? Caves of cheese.

Are they just making expensive cheese?

Just not going to go bad?

1.4 billion pounds of cheese.

The first hit.

Where are the government cheese caves?

Springfield, Missouri.

Wow. So if there's like a nuclear

holocaust, we all need to get to Springfield,

Missouri. Yeah.
It gets hot.

Thank you. Where are the government cheese caves? Springfield, Missouri.
Wow. So if there's like a nuclear holocaust, we all need to get to Springfield, Missouri.
Yeah. It gets hot.
Hundreds of feet below the ground in Missouri. There are hundreds of thousands of pounds of American cheese deep in converted limestone mines.
Caves kept perfectly at 36 degrees Fahrenheit store stockpiles of government-owned cheese comprising the country's 1.4 billion pounds of surplus cheese. What keeps them at cool? We're just sitting on cheese.
What if you're a mouse that finds its way into that facility? You should bring the next ratatouille down there. Yeah, ratatouille too.
That you're just like, that's heaven for you. There's nothing better.
There's got to be some mice down there. You think it's definitely airtight? Some bug has made their way into there.
They're living off the cheese. 1.4 billion pounds of cheese? Is it one brick? I think it had something.
Yeah, they're going to go get it. It's going to be just ripped apart.
Now that I'm thinking about it, the person who told me it was something about Reagan doing something for the farmers, so like buying their surplus and then having it be like stored by the government.

But they're cheese caves.

That's all I'm going to say.

You think it's that or you think the government for a period of time

has had like secret factories just churning out cheese?

Maybe.

It's probably going to be an alternate fuel source

in like how we use fossil fuel.

Yeah.

In four billion years,

they'll be like plugging into the cheese

that we have stored in the earth's crust. Damn.
imagine how much like a plate of queso would cost if you get to that point a guy's room cheese there will be blood but it's all cheese here it says it started in the 1970s during former president jimmy carter's era and his promise of giving farmers a break so that is yeah so i was kind of. So he bought the cheese.
He wanted to raise the price of milk, but the government couldn't just buy milk and store it. So he started buying as much cheese as people wanted to sell.
He just bought all the cheese. So do we have any use for all this cheese? Or do we just have nothing else to do with it? I don't know.
Do they get, like, what? Is it still? Is it I don't know. It might be going bad.
We have to check on the cheese. Or it might be getting way, way better.
Yeah. I don't even know cheese ever.
1.4 billion pounds of cheese. How much does it cost? Can I buy some government cheese right now? I would hope so.
I mean, how crazy is that though? I don't know if it it's like it's probably not the same cheese from the 1970s they're just restock replenishing it and just selling it the old cheese but doesn't cheese go back i mean what is going on here it's crazy man so yeah that was my other fun fact that was fun fact right a lot of cheese that was someone told me that i was like what are you saying right now one point we've we're just There's just caves of cheese. Someone told me that.
I was like, what are you saying right now? One point. We have cheese.
We're just caves of cheese. How American is that, though? There's probably something we don't know about, too.
Imagine finding one, like in the mummy or something like that, going cave diving. That would be a great plot for the next National Treasures.
They're trying to find all this fucking cheese. Why aren't we using this for tourism, though? You got the Taj Mahalhal you have the eiffel tower you have the pyramids like what does america have fucking a huge basement full of cheese come check it out it's incredible okay pft your last one all right so my last one is going to be uh i actually talked about this earlier today as a fun fact the U.S.
hockey team Miracle on Ice was the semifinals. Yes.
Not the finals. Yes.
So that big win against the Russians, that wasn't actually like, we didn't get shit for that. It's like, yeah, famous, like you still got to beat the Finns.
Yeah. I think it was Finland, yeah.
And I was thinking, there's probably a pretty good chance that that Russian team threw the game, right? I don't know. Whoa, dude.
Talk to me. I don't know.
Talk to me. Because they were bigger, older, stronger professional hockey players, and the other guys, some of them weren't even the best.
Not that night. I know.
Listen, I want to believe, but the fucking Olympics took place in New York in the, what is it? Lake Placid, 1980. 1980.
Yeah. I'm just saying it.
When it makes it poison, if it happened today is what I'm saying. If it happened today, we would all be like Olympics rigged.
Oh yeah. There's no way that that could have happened.
Well, yeah. But like today, everything's monitored and shit.
That was just the wild, wild west. Like, talk about no cell phones and anything.
Like, we had no idea what was going on in Russia. Truly.
Yeah, you don't think... Yeah, you just threw movies.
You don't think that it wouldn't be above, like, corrupt Russians to take a shitload of money on the side? I don't know. I like him.
I definitely like it. Also, the Cheese Caves existed during that game.
Yeah. What year did they win? They turned most important.
Yeah, that's when they were getting loaded up. That's when they were at their height.
Dude, that's... Yeah, no, people do forget that.
I feel like that's... The only time that ever gets brought up is when a team wins a big game and then they have another one.
It's like, don't get Finland. Imagine if they lost.

Imagine if they lost.

I think we'd still just...

We wouldn't care.

If I were Team USA, I wouldn't have shown up for the gold medal.

That's what we wanted.

Apparently, it didn't matter.

Still dominated.

Fuck.

I'd forgotten that.

My last one.

I also regurgitated this today. But in 18 1861 There were 18,000 people in Indianapolis Yes But there were 150,000 people in Cincinnati Cincinnati was fucking huge back in the day It's crazy It was a booming metropolis There was fucking tons of people in Cincinnati Indianapolis was fucking Wasn't doing shit 18,000 They weren't even on the on they didn't have applebee's yet they didn't even have an apple store yet they were fucking broke out there it was terrible so so what did indy do they probably just were in close proximity to the cheese caves yeah they just built a the indianapolis fact we always talk about is that they you know they test all of the major chain restaurants menus in indianapolis that's probably what drove the people to want to live yeah it's like the most american like city it's like the most like average american lives in in indianapolis i was gonna say they they did something fucking genius was they just built a track for cars to go fast yeah they're like hey like three times a year we're gonna have some fucking fast cars yeah and then people all go there they check it out they see the chain restaurants and they're like i could see myself settling down in a place like yeah in basketball yep when did basketball invented probably right around the cheese case yeah i can't stop thinking about the cheese case fuck you up insane population girls do you think they have like security guards like live cameras like they have for like when like a eagles having a baby just the outside of the cheese caves can we get a live cam of the cheese caves can you imagine being a like a security guard there's got to be awls in missouri you like give us some cheese cave intel you like You served in the military honorably for like 20 years and you get out and you get a job guarding the cheese but they just give you like a big ass gun and you just walk back and forth all day like a fucking James Bond GoldenEye character just facing mindlessly guarding the cheese.
Probably smells good. like it's impossible to get in that cheese your gun is just a cheese whiz oh shit we can't do anything this was fun this was i thought that was very good that um did you think this was good liam's not high oh sass is still there we can ask him too yeah i have uh i have a couple oh yes Let's go.

Yeah it be like let's make this worse yeah let's make it harder that's a crazy one that's dumb as fuck let's make it so you can just use it one time and then you have to throw it away so it's impossible and if there's even a little bit of a breeze it's never gonna light can we make it it easier for people To burn down their houses with these things somehow Yeah we want to make them lethal That's a crazy one What were the other ones that Jake had They're just all like Google Google facts Don't besmirch his facts I think a fun fact is something that you just have And you just kind of I I think I've learned some things tonight that I'm going to take with me.
