Today is Friday, July 1st. And the big 10 is back all the way back.
We're gobbling it up. We're gobbling it up.
We got UCLA. We got USC, the big 10 power moves only.
The Big Ten is back.

Added 11 national championships in basketball.

No big deal.

I'll be honoring all of those.

The Big Ten's back.

I just feel like we need to slow down for a second because I am excited about the realignment

just because I love chaos.

There's some stuff that we can get into, like the details of it.

I love chaos.

I love things switching up.

I learned a long time ago that the world changes and you need to adapt with it it's pointless to fight this type of change it's utterly pointless you can be like you know what i miss the traditional rivalries etc etc etc i miss like usc in the one year where they're supposed to be back and stanford just like kicks the shit out of them for no reason i'm gonna miss those games of course but this is the future It's going to happen. There's too much money out there.
You can't stop. It's pointless to just be a bitter bitch about it.
So just embrace the chaos with open arms. I'm just looking at it like there are going to be like 14 Rose Bowls a year.
Yeah. It's just like there will be a Rose Bowl every weekend as we move forward.
And I got to imagine that this is going to provide a great opportunity to gamblers out there who get to finally like hammer Northwestern at home versus USC at 11 a.m. When there's like a tornado in Chicago and the Trojans quarterback has like never seen a cloud before.
No, the best. I mean, it was the famous Northwestern Stanford game a few.
I don't know, it was maybe like eight years ago. But the hardest place to play is Evanston at 11 a.m.
when there's like half the crowd and most of the – and the USC quarterback played in front of more people in high school than he is playing in front of the Evanston crowd. And that's the toughest place to play to get up for i two

things can be true at the same time i obviously wish that it had stayed power five i love the style of football that happens in the big 10 versus the pack 12 versus big 12 versus sec versus acc i love the traditional matchups i love just the like different characteristics of each Power 5 Conference. With that said, this was going to happen.
Texas and Oklahoma going to the SEC, the Big Ten had to be proactive here, and they had to go get someone because the Big Ten and the SEC, they're far ahead of everyone else in terms of revenue, in terms of footprint, all these things. That is just a fact.
I know the SEC is better than the Big Ten overall, if you want to talk about national championships, all that stuff. But those are the two powers.
And the Big Ten needed to go and get someone. And also the Pac-12, USC and UCLA, needed to join with one of the top two dogs.
Otherwise, they would be out too. It all feels inevitable.
And if you're upset about it, I get it. But I also just asked one simple question.
What made more sense from a traditional standpoint, adding Rutgers and Maryland or USC and UCLA? This actually is more of a natural fit than Rutgers and Maryland were. And as soon as time goes on and you have games happen and things happen on the field, it just becomes what it is.
Geographically, Rutgers and Maryland made more sense. But USC and UCLA, in terms of being good at sports, is a better addition.
The hot seat in this is the ACC because it looks like the Alliance is dead. It looks like the Alliance.
Remember that? Yeah. There was all that Alliance talk where it's like, okay, if the SEC is going to continue to just put their dick on the table, then that means PAC 12, the big 10.
And I guess it was just the ACC was the third element to that. We're going to team up and we're going to join forces.
Or was it the big 12? I forget. Was it the big 12 or the big 10 that was part of the Alliance? Either way, regardless, the ACC is out in the cold, and it's not looking great for them.
But this type of stuff, it's going to continue to happen. I love it in terms of just getting to see different matchups in basketball and in football.
But imagine if you're on the swimming team at USC or the lacrosse team, and now Maryland just gets gets a kick the shit out of you every year like it's going to be weird for the non-revenue sports to travel all across the country all year all year long that's the part that doesn't really make that much sense is is having like those huge travel budgets and time spent away from school um for for like secondary thought uh teams at all these different schools so um besides that like I like it, though, in football and in basketball. I think it's ultimately going to be a good thing.
We get great logo matchups. That's what's really important.
How cool is it going to be? We get to see Iowa play against USC. USC is going to have to learn about fullbacks pretty damn quick.
They're going to learn about them. And we get like USC against, you know, Wisconsin, USC against Michigan.
I think that like those are going to be must watch games whenever they're on TV. So for that reason, as a as a fan of football on television, you should be a fan of this realignment.
Yeah. And it's going to be more money.
I mean, it's all about money. Obviously, that's not like some hot take.
That is why Texas and Oklahoma went to the SEC. That's why USC and UCLA are going to the Big Ten because those two conferences make the most money.
And there's a feeling that Texas and Oklahoma, maybe it's a little different for USC and UCLA because they haven't been great the last whatever decade. But Texas and Oklahoma were sick of holding up everyone else in their conference.
And that becomes a real thing.

And now they go to a conference where USC and UCLA go to a conference with Ohio State and Michigan and Penn State and these big dogs, these national brands. It's all crazy.
It also probably is all leading. If you want to look like way, way in the future, probably probably probably like 10 years from now where schools are now like the the athletic programs the big time college football and college basketball will just be separate from the school they'll just have the name of that school like they'll just be their own entity they won't have to follow fall under the jurisdiction of the ncaa and they'll just license the name out and everyone will still root for them and that's probably where it's all heading and when that happens in 10 years, everyone's going to be like NCAA football's dead again and NCAA football's dead because of the first realignment and dead because of NIL I'm going to still watch I'm going to watch until they stop playing it and I don't think they're going to stop playing it.
Yeah, they're not. They're not going to stop playing it.

And as Cardale Jones said, legendary D.C.

defender when he was at Ohio State, I didn't come here to play school.

That's that's what it's going to boil down to.

It's going to be football teams that happen to have the same name.

They probably live in the same town, play in the same town, practice in the same town.

But as far as like being totally, completely intertwined with the colleges, maybe not so much anymore. Now we should caution though, because it's not a done deal.
If you read the report, it hasn't been approved at the highest levels yet. I don't know why they would put this out there since it's not completely done deal, because this has happened before to USC in particular, when they were going to join the big 12 back in like, I want to say 2010, 2011, it was pretty much a done deal.
they were going to join the Big 12 back in like I want to say 2010 2011 it was pretty much a done deal they were going to create a super conference um involving I think it was like their their plot to make Texas want to stay committed to the Big 12 for the long term was they were going to realign they were going to get USC involved and a couple other teams I think at the Pac-12 and it ended up not happening because of money so until it's signed and done it's it's not official yet it sounds like it's probably going to happen based on the people that i've seen reporting about it but um you know anything could happen it's not done yet um we're gonna i'm gonna say this right now uh next week by the way we have a show on wednesday and we have an extended dungeons and dragons on friday um maybe next t Tuesday we try to get Andy Staples on for like 10, 15 minutes to explain it to us in maybe a smarter way than what we're saying right now. I just know, again, it's inevitable.
It sucks. I wish it was still Power 5, but I'm also very happy that the Big Ten is actually doing something, and Kevin Warren is being proactive in saying, I'm not going to have the Big Ten lose out on a potential USC-UCLA situation.
I'm going to go get these guys, and we're going to go toe-to-toe with the SEC. It's a good idea.
If you're the Big Ten, there's really – I don't know how you can spin this, how a Big Ten fan would be like, this is bad. I mean, I understand that the geography thing is weird, and the traditional matchups are kind of getting diluted.
And like you said, the brand of football. Like, yes, it is cool having different brands of football taking place in different geographic regions of the country.
I like that. But if you want the conference to succeed, you can't be rooting against this.
And there are going to be ripple effects out West, too. Like, I honestly think that on vibes alone, Oregon should be in the SEC.

I feel like that's where they belong as a school if I'm just going strictly off vibes.

Well, Oregon and Washington will be interesting

whether they go to the Big Ten.

You'll see maybe a similar thing that happened in the Big 12

where they added Cincy and Houston.

Will the Pac-12 now add a Boise, which has been talked about before? Like there's, there's different schools out there. The deck is just going to keep getting shuffled and then it will be fine for a few years.
And then it will be shuffled again. And usually it lines up with when the TV deals are up and that's just how it's going to keep going.
And you got to just get used to it because this is just, this is what college sports are now. And again, like you can hand ring right now.
And I understand if you're a Pac-12 fan, you're pissed. You have every right to be pissed.
Just like big 12 fans had a right to be pissed. You're losing traditional rivalries.
That sucks. But when it comes to Saturday in the fall, you're still going to tune in and watch the games.
I don't know. At least I am.
We should get an opposing point of view on here. How about we kick it to Hank the hater? Because Hank was texting some hate to us in the group chat.
I mean, I'm not a hater. I don't like that nickname whatsoever.
No, for this instance, you're a hater. Well, college football, I mean, we've talked about it.
Like, I am from the Northeast.'t go to college I don't didn't don't have any big school ties other than LSU but it's just not I didn't I just said college football is a joke they need to become a league like this is this is just a professional sports league at this point like that's what's gonna happen though right like that and that's and that's fine like I'm not hating but like they just need to stop and what you said big cat like the they're gonna separate where like they have the team name but they're not like college athletes like I just don't it just makes no sense and I guess it makes sense from like a financial standpoint or because you know Texas and Oklahoma are joining the SEC but UCLA and the Big Ten makes no sense yeah but it does it at least At least you have the Rose Bowl historical factor there, which I get. Like, there's matchups that have history between the Pac-12 and the Big Ten.
But, yeah, I mean, but, again, 10 years ago, if you said Rutgers was in the Big Ten, you'd be like, what the fuck? Right, right. This happened, yeah.
It happened for me. It started happening when the ACC basketball, like when they started switching that up.
That's when I was like, this makes no sense. And it is what it is.
I'm just not a huge college football fan, and this is making me less of a college football fan, I'd say. Yeah, I mean, Nebraska was in the Big 12.
Like, the Big 12 mix-up where Missouri leaves and all these things. Like, the deck has been shuffled so many times now that nothing can really shock me anymore.
That's kind of where I land. I could be disappointed that we've lost some of the history and traditions, but I also am never going to be like, how could they? How could this happen? Because it's clear that if you're a big-time conference AD or you're the commissioner of a conference, you have to be thinking big picture, and you have to basically be throwing out any idea of tradition and history and being like, who can get us the most money? Let's go grab them.
And it sucks, but it's the facts. It would be sick if they, I mean, they can never do it.
It's all money-based. But like if there was two conferences, the SEC, like a big SEC conference and a big Big Ten conference and then some type of relegation system for the smaller schools.

Yes.

Like that would be that would be awesome.

But and that's what it's like.

They're kind of going there, but they're not going to actually do that.

I don't think relegation will happen.

I would love to see that.

It would be great.

Boise States of the world, you know, the smaller like the mountain west schools and stuff like they should have a shot but i don't know you should also be able to trade schools like they should be you should be allowed to trade nebraska for usc if you're the big 10 why wait oh what do you mean like trade them just straight up it'd just be fun yeah no i mean no like real logistical reason behind it would just be fun if like the commissioners were wheeling dealing behind the scenes and like actually trading trading colleges yeah yeah that would actually be fun if they have teams could get traded back and forth you know the smartest guy in the room is though mick cronin mick cronin probably his whole life's goal was to get a big 10 championship and he's he's gonna have the opportunity to do that like he is the big i know like he coached at cincinnati but like everything about that guy is like he he's big 10 distilled well no so him and lincoln riley who now will have the legacy of i don't know if they're i think it seems like the PAC, the USC and UCLA teams are going to go 2024, but let's just say somehow, you know, the PAC 12's like, fuck it, get out of here, and they do 2023. Lincoln Riley has to be the first coach ever to coach Big 12, PAC 12, Big 10 in three consecutive seasons, right? Yeah.
I mean, I can't imagine anyone else yeah oklahoma win the the big 12 last year uh oklahoma did not win the big 12 last year that was baylor that's right okay yeah no but that's that's going to be a fun fact to bring up in like 10 years like who's the only coach to do that like do you think lincoln riley had any inkling about They had to have told him, right, during the interview process? I don't know. It seems like this has been – I think this has obviously been something that has been in the wind for a while, but from everything I've read from the people that, like, I trust reading online, it's been about, like, three or four months in the making, so that probably would not totally line up with when went to usc but it's it's very funny to think that if he didn't know it and he was like i'm going to the pac-12 where i can dominate and now he might have to play like ohio state every year that that's just a very funny idea to me yeah so i guess oklahoma fans are happy about this because they kind of see he might have gotten fucked over on right right.
Right. Exactly.
Okay. Okay.
So wait, did you have breaking moves, Hank? Breaking moves. Breaking moves.
Yeah. If you're watching the video on YouTube, you can see my face when this happened.
I didn't want to interrupt you guys in front of that. But Kevin Durant has officially requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets.
Whoa preferred destination of the Phoenix Suns. Whoa.
Wow. Hilarious.
All right, so instant takes. Instant takes.
Turns out he might not like Kyrie anymore. Turns out he might have thought, hey, Kyrie isn't that much fun to be around.
Turns out that we should take back everything bad we've said about Kevin Durant ring chasing because he's going to Phoenix to play with Chris Paul. Right.
And yeah, a team that is, I think, wasn't the stat that they've won more playoff games without winning an NBA championship than any other franchise? There's something like that. Now it's Woj just tweeted less than a minute ago, Phoenix and Miami, he culture Jake, let me get a culture vibe on Kevin Durant How does he fit? Fantastic, he keeps his head down Maybe a little too much on Twitter But that would be awesome Him and Jimmy, I'm sure Bam I'm sure it would involve a trade of Hero and Duncan or something But I would assume they they would keep Jimmy and Bam as the core.
What do you mean he keeps his head down? Unpack that thought for me. Just literally keep his head down.
He's always on Twitter. Bad posture.
Yeah, I guess. This is a crazy...
I was actually... Three hours before free agency.
I had to take Stu Feiner out to lunch today and I was actually walking back from the lunch and I was like, there's really nothing that we can talk about today because nothing's happened and it was like USC, UCLA and now this, bam, bam, back to back. Crazy.
That's wild. What a wild day.
Hey, the NFL now has to drop their Deshaun Watson news. It has to.
NFL, you have to be king. I actually, I did a little bit of research on the news dumps, the history of the NFL news dump going into both 4th of July weekend and Labor Day weekend.
There's like hundreds of people that have been either suspended or like major breaking news on these big weekends in particular, going back to like the start of Roger Goodell's tenure. It's shocking.
Like I went through the list of everything. We've had like Ruben Foster news.
We've had Jameis Winston, Sheldon Richardson, Rolando McLean, Johnny football, Demarcus Lawrence, Darren Waller, Darren Waller again, Rodney Harrison, Travis Henry, Anthony Gonzalez, Mike Williams, Jonathan Dwyer. Like that, this is the weekend that it all happens.
Antonio Gates was on one of these weekends, too. It's Vincent Jackson.
The names go on and on and on. Deshaun Watson is definitely they're going to announce this news because the NFL is king.
It has to be. Yeah, it has.
Yeah, it will. It will have been announced by the time this podcast.
Yes. So instant reaction.
I thought it could have been more. Yeah.
Yeah. I don't think that you could say it should have been less.
There we go. And that was the Sean Watson.
Well, that's what Roger Goodell is doing. That was our team.
What he's going to do. What he's going to do is he's going to be like, he's suspended indefinitely, which just means like, I don't want to say a number because if I say a number then half the people will be like that's too much the other half will be like that's not enough so he's just going to be like he's um he's just kind of he's not going to play but just for a while but just you guys forget about him put that on a quote board pardon my takes official statement it could.
It could have been more. Probably couldn't have been less.

That's our take on the Deshaun Watson suspension whenever it's released.

I love it.

But, KD, I wonder what happened.

I wonder what happened, KD, because it seemed like just reading the tea leaves,

he was going to stick around next year and something changed.

Well, I mean, I have no inside this could be the timelines could be way off but it's it would almost be perfect if he was like i'm so sick of kairi's shit i'm going to tell him that i'm going to stay and then when he opts in i'm going to tell i'm going to ask for a trade like he fucked me i'm going to fuck him you know who would have that information, like the inside information?

If we want to just get him on the phone or on a FaceTime real quick?

Frank the Tank.

No.

No.

You haven't been in the office last day.

It's been bad.

It has been a bad situation.

The Mets are crumbling even though they're still in first.

Yeah. I kind of just want to hear like 10 seconds

of Frank to tank. Oh yeah, if we could keep it

to 10 seconds, I would agree.

There's no way we can keep it to 10 seconds.

How about we hang up at 10 seconds?

Like a bad guy in a movie

trying not to get their phone tapped.

No. No.

I think you can hear him.

I communicate with him exclusively on

DMs. Open the door

real quick. Just open the door.
That's all we're going to do

is just open the door.

Oh my god. No.
I think you can hear him. I communicate with him exclusively on DMs.
Open the door real quick. Just open the door.
That's all we're going to do is just open the door. Open the door, and if we can hear him.
No. Okay, close it.
All-time bad idea, PFD. But you also, in your defense, you haven't been here in the last day,

and it's been bad.

It's been a lot of yelling to a lot of people, like more so than ever.

More so than ever.

All right.

Yeah, so like I said, we have a show on Wednesday,

and then we have a show on Friday,

so we'll recap any NBA free agency on Wednesday,

and we will do the Dungeons & Dragons on Friday.

Should we get to the interview?

Should we get to Chase Crawford and Will Compton?

And then we'll wrap up with Fyre Fest.

It is actor extraordinaire. It is Chase Crawford.
He's here. He's got season three on Amazon, The Boys.
It's out now, correct? Correct. Every Friday.
Yep. Every Friday.
This Friday. Yeah.
Love it. It's a great show.
Everyone should check it out. I was thinking about what my first question would be.
Like, would it be a Tony Romo question? Which we've said some shit about him. We'll have to get into that later.
Because it is your brother-in-law. I think I was just going to go with, like, have you always been this hot? Have you? No, just only up until recently, yeah.
Did you have, like, an awkward teenage stage where you were like, oh, this dude's gross. Fully had the full, like, JNCOs, Abercrombie, Puka shells, highlighter hair pulled through the cap with the brain.
I mean, it was bad. Oh, you're saying that's a bad thing.
I thought you were describing your hot drinks. It's kind of amazing.
You were an Abercrombie model in high school, right? No, I worked there, but I made them. Yeah, exactly.
By the way, did you see the documentary where they tried to cancel Abercrombie? I did, I did. I watched it, and I was like, for an hour and a half, I was like, so wait, what's the point? And it was like a waste of an hour, and I get it, but.
It was a little weird. Yeah, yeah.
It was weird to see, though, how I kind of came up. And, oh, man, I just have PTSD from the waft of cologne coming from the mall when I work.
It was terrible. What's the process like to getting hired at Abercrombie? Is it just like, hey, you look so much like the guys on the walls.
You should just hang out here all the time. We'll pay you to hang out here.
Like, get down to some push-ups. Can you do some push-ups? Yeah, no, I just walked by.
I mean, they're definitely hiring under 18. They were at the time.
They don't really care. Like, yeah, you want to work here? Perfect.
Great. Yeah, throwing some puka shells.
So, I mean, back to the hot question. You did, like, when you were here in the office yesterday, there were people who were like, did you see Chase Crawford? Did did you see him is that weird though to walk because like i know i've never had that feeling of walking into a room and everyone being like damn this guy's good looking so like do you i you know it's it's a very like stupid question but it is it's kind of like when i ask an nfl player like what's it like being so fast like what's it like being so attractive? No, no, no.
Listen, I will say it's great. The boys demographic is definitely a lot different from the gossip girl.
Right. It's a very specific, like, teen, like 14 to 15-year-old girls, you know, if I see a certain group walking down the street.
But the boys, it's been nice. It's been, you know, like guys at gym or a tsa like hey the deep man what's going on the deep bro you know it's like a great a great mix-up so it's nice yeah to have the yeah two different demographics it's always the best actually at tsa it's happened to me twice i think at tsa where an officer has like recognized maybe my laptop or something like that gave it away and and then I'm like, okay, my drugs are fine.
He's not going to bust me. It's Ron.
This guy's eyeing me down, like real serious. I'm like, are there drugs in my little drug pocket? My jeans? I'm like, what do I do? I'm like, trying to throw it away, and then he's like, you're the deep, baby, give me a hug.
That's great. I really enjoy those interactions.
I started the boys yesterday, actually, because you were coming out. That's big time interview prepped by us.
Listen, I don't do that for any of them. Half of the podcast started the show yesterday.
Yeah. So I watched the first two episodes last night.
Hank has been telling me to watch it for months now. So I finally got around to watching it.
So please don't give anything away past the first two episodes at Okay, okay. But you seem to be doing a very good job of playing a real dickhead.
And I mean that as like a compliment. Yeah, no, thank you.
Like, do you get tired of playing assholes? Yeah, I mean, it was good to switch it up from, you know, the teen soap that we did here in New York for a long time. So it was good to switch it up.
But yeah, that first episode, yeah, it's a big 180 scene right there. But then it kind of gear shifts into me, saving a fucking dolphin from Oceanland.
Oh, so you become a good guy. I mean, he's a bit of a comic relief sort of, you know, like they do switch gears tonally, which is interesting.
Okay. You know, like ejecting the dolphin through the windshield.
But this year, yeah, the storylines get weirder and weirder. That's for sure.
Ooh. Yeah.
I like that. I'm going to have to start watching that.
I'm going to follow up on it. I'm going to watch two more episodes.
Don't hurt yourself. But yeah, I mean, like, it was very funny when you came in yesterday and everyone was just like, damn, Chase Crawford.
The one thing that bothers me, though, about your name and where you're from, you realize you would have been, like, a perfect Texas quarterback. Like, Chase Crawford is a name that this podcast alone would have done, like, a five-minute bit on just being like Chase.
I love it. Like, if you had been a backup quarterback and gotten into a game, we would have been like, Chase Crawford meant for this moment.
He doesn't even spell his name like, you know, with an S, it's a C, and like all these things. So I don't want to say you miss your calling, but you were a perfect Texas quarterback.
I tried. I tried.
You know, I was a good quarterback in like Pee Wee when I was about 10 years old. And then it was like my dad's like, I don't know if you're going to get much, much bigger than like 160, you know good quarterback and like peewee when i was about 10 years old and then it was like my dad's like i don't know if you're gonna get much much bigger than like 160 you know 511 you know what i mean it's like texas he's like let's just maybe stick to golf for a minute so uh that's kind of what uh yeah the the the age and and and height and weight kind of surpassed me but uh well he named you so he probably was kind of bummed out like all right this didn't work didn't work out.
Like, I gave you the name. I primed you for a prime time.
Yeah, well, this was all set. He's like, I've carried you as far as I can.
The rest is up to you. But seriously, like Colt McCoy, Chase Crawford.
Yeah, those are similar names. It was supposed to be Chance.
He's like, I'm going to drop the N. Yeah, it's going to be awesome.
Chase, the ace. So you're from Lubbock, right? Born in Lubbock, yeah.
So when you grew up there, was it still a dry town? You know, I was – I think it was. I was only one year – about two, we moved to Oklahoma City and then to Dallas, basically.
But we'd go back. You know, we grew up Red Raiders fans, Tech.
And, yeah, I mean, I think it was dry for a long time, wasn't it? That's a fun team to root for, though. If you have to pick, especially when we were growing up, I think we're about the same age, but in our childhood, through middle school, high school, college, if you didn't root for a team that was going to be competing for a national championship, Texas Tech was the perfect team because they're going to score like 55 points every single week.
Fun to watch. I was kind of a Mahomes fan from that.
I love Kingsbury, and my dad went to Oklahoma, so we like OU as well. But, yeah.
Ooh, what do you think about the switch to the SEC? It's going to be a very difficult – like, you obviously, if your dad's an Oklahoma fan, you lived in the area, you grew up in the area. I feel like Oklahoma fans aren't ready for being in the SEC and losing more than, like, two games a year.
By the way, I mean, I can see both sides. It was a bloodbath.
I mean, I was with my dad when the news came out. It was depressing down there in Oklahoma.
Really? Yeah, yeah. Still, there's a lot of bitterness over that.
But, yeah, that move him and I talk about, the move to SEC, I mean, how are you going to – it's going to be very competitive and very interesting to see how they navigate that. It's going to be tough.
Why would you want to be coaching? Yeah, like I think Oklahoma will be fine overall because it's such a great program, but when you don't get to play Kansas every year, it's like, you know, there's Vanderbilt, but that's about it in the SEC. Every other team is – Heavy hitters every week.
Yeah, right. And a lot of stress, too, obviously, if you're the coach.
That's a lot of stress. Yeah.
I'm just nervous for the Oklahoma fan base because I feel like they are so used to losing two games a year is the max for Oklahoma. Right.
Usually one of those is to an SEC team in bowl season. Yeah.
Where they lose by, like, 35 points. Yeah, one of them is to, like like a Kansas or someone, and then they're like, oh, Oklahoma's season's done, and they're like, no, it's not.
They're back. Right, right, right.
I've been paying too much, but hopefully they can recruit some good players after the mass exodus. But yeah, it was a depressing day.
Yeah. So as a joint Texas Tech-Oklahoma guy, are you a big Baker guy? Yeah, we were.

I mean, for the most part, me and Tony's boys, the middle one's a big – I mean, they're both – they're all watch sports.

But Riv, the middle one, he was a big Browns-Baker fan for a while too.

So we kind of hopped on that bandwagon.

Yeah, I mean, when he was at OU, we definitely were.

So how do you feel?

I've got to sense some animosity. No, no, no, not at all.
We like Baker. I think he kind of got a raw deal last year because he was hurt the entire time.
And, of course, he wants to play. It's on the team and the coaching staff to be like, no, man, you suck right now because you're hurt.
You shouldn't play. Right.
You can't let him be like – you can't trust a player to say, no, I'm fine. Let me go out there.
You have to be able as a coaching staff to be like, no, I'm going to make the decision. You're out.
So he kind of got fucked on that one. But then he's also like, you know, he hasn't lived up to being the first overall pick, especially all the shit that he talks.
He loves talking shit. He does love talking shit.
But he only plays good when like people are talking shit about him. So I feel like this next chance for him now that he's got like a chip on his shoulder again right i think he'll be okay i think he's gonna be fine he might not be like you know top five quarterback ever but he could be top 10 he might need to switch up exactly i think he didn't really fully pan out as as the number one pick but uh yeah we rode we rode that train for a while for the for the browns but uh yeah what can you do yeah even you can't decide like where you get picked is a lot of like how the story gets written about you right and being the number one pick always makes the expectations sometimes unrealistic right which is not fair but and you know Burrow you know he he's doing it yeah he's fun to watch yeah he's our guy too um I have a story right here that I read that you have to either confirm or deny.
It's outrageous because you seem like a guy who's got it all. Do you know what I'm going to ask? I have no idea.
Okay, so the story read basically that in the new season of The Boys on Amazon, they had to use CGI effects to shrink your penis because it was too big. That might be the coolest story that's ever been written about anyone.
That literally is what I read. It was, I mean, it's a ridiculous thing.
Here's the story. Chase Crawford reveals why his bulge was edited out of The Boys.
And then the actual, the article is like, yeah, it was too big. They big they had to make it smaller what the fuck i feel like there's been a little bit of a game of telephone that's been happening but now now that it's ended at this place i can't confirm nor deny i'm not going to deny it obviously either you have the the the like a huge cock or you have the greatest publicist of all time like one or the other because because I need a story like that, where it's like, yeah, part of my takes is a family program, so they had to edit, you know.
It's all happening according to plan. Yes, it's all finally taking shape.
I was just doing a little research. I was like, wait, is this story real? Showrunner Kripke was like, we get no notes from Amazon, but the first one we got was that can't fucking happen.
We've got to take that out. And we had to edit it out.
The very first note that you've ever gotten, the first one. Your show has people's heads that explode constantly.
And they don't care about really anything else. There's just like pink mist and goo everywhere in the show.
And they're like, that cock's too big. Chase's hog is way too large.
What the fuck? Can we make it more realistic? Oh man. And why do we have to bring CGI into this? Why can't it just spray you down with water or something? Right.
Turn the AC down. We have to spend four million dollars to make Chase's cock look smaller.
The best part is I love these stories because I always think about like the dude that spent like years and years at like usc like filmmaking school and like his job is now to just make your dick smaller frame by frame yeah he's sitting in the room in his computer he's like a genius person who spent years and years perfecting his craft right and like you know the studio's like hey we got a we got a big task for you it's like what's up be like am i gonna make you know like these guys go to the moon or something make it look like really cool no uh i'm just gonna have to have you adjust this one real quick welcome to the boys yeah this is a new show uh yeah i wonder if they teach that in school if there's actually actually a class that shows the art to making it smaller. Dick Editing 101.
There's probably more in the Valley than it is at USC. I heard that you came in here yesterday and you sat down with the LCB guys, Lights, Camera, Barstool guys.
And they asked you a question about who you would want to play in a movie. And you said Tiger Woods.
I Okay. Do you stand by that? I stand by that.
What kind of movie are we talking about here? Well, I mean, listen, it was, you know, that's never going to happen in the real world, but I do, we were talking sports. I'm a big golf fan.
I like the Tiger documentary, but he wasn't really a part of it i we i feel like we need you know he's my the mj of my time i i i'm obsessed with tiger so uh i feel like we need like a full at least a documentary like like the last dance like a 10 parter you know what i mean he's one of the most fascinating sports figures ever ever but then they were like you know you could probably play ste like, great. Sign me up.
Yeah, why not? Yeah. Wait, so who's your favorite golfer right now? Who do you root for? Oh, man.
Zalatoris. Will Zalatoris went to my high school.
He's one of our guys. Yeah, I play with him in Dallas with Tony sometimes.
He's a great dude. Yeah, I root for him.
I like JT and Spieth as well. Okay.
a couple rounds with Spieth. Great dude.
And Scotty Scheffler. I mean, these are the Texas boys.
So Scheffler's great. So what's your game like? Terrible.
Actually terrible? Because I would imagine the guy who gets his cock CGI'd is like, he's like, I'm terrible. I shoot a 78.
I played a little better when I was younger. I just don't practice.
I'm 80s. That's pretty good.
So you're talking to a couple 130 guys. I actually broke 130 last week.
127. Congratulations.
Thank you. Congrats.
I skipped three holes. On nine.
Front nine. How good Tony for real? Because I'm always curious, like, can these guys, we saw Mahomes play in the match.
Right. I mean, from what I saw, I was like, this guy, if he put enough time in it, is Tony, like, if he put enough time, if he said, I'm just going to golf, do you think he could be maybe even tour, like, close to tour? I think he's got a chance.
I mean, Tony's also the guy that can not play. you know, when he's playing football, he cannot play for like six months and just pick up a club and still shoot even par.
You know what I mean? Right. Yeah, he's got a pretty well-rounded game.
He's just a solid, I mean, he's got, you know, he's got that thing. I mean, when he was growing up, he even started playing football late and he sort of, he like knows how to see a motion and adapt to it so he can watch.
He watches all the videos on YouTube and he just has that motion. I don't know how he does it.
It's frustrating. One time he hurt his finger and he played one handed and still beat me.
It was ridiculous. Well that's also like any professional athlete when you see them do any other sport you're like oh yeah that's why they're a professional athlete.
Yeah. You know what I mean? It's like they move different than everyone else.
That makes me so angry. Yeah.
Yeah. What's he like as a brother-in-law? Like strong side, weak side.
Yeah. What are the pros and cons? Strong side, weak side.
As a family member. Yeah.
That's a better way. When I wrote down the question, it was going to be like, Chase, would you say you like or love Tony Romo? Love Tony Romo.
Okay. All right.
I guess he is your family. No, we're like brothers.
No, he's, he's, he's, he's awesome. I do.
I have great memories. Uh, you know, me and my dad going, going to the games, we grew up Cowboys fans.
You know what I mean? I guess it was just, I mean, since we were little, we got like the starter jacket pictures and everything. So we were, you know, very excited, but Tony's just an all around great dude.
His family's great. Uh, we got golf in common.
We like to play the boys. The little boys are great, but, uh But Tony's awesome.
Yeah. He's taken me everywhere on the, you know.
We've never said anything bad about him. No weaknesses.
Worst part about being brother-in-law with Tony Romo? The worst part? Yeah. Oh, man.
He's tough. You know, he's not very, you know, I like to eat.
I mean, he does too, but he's very, I try and get him to try all these new things. He likes to stick to the basics, you know what I mean? So I'm trying to get him away from just the meat and potatoes.
But that's it, you know what I mean? I always forget. I try and take him to these nice restaurants, and he takes everything off the hamburger.
So it's... Okay, okay, that's actually a good answer.
You know? Yeah. Yeah.

And now more Chase Crawford.

So in acting, let's just say five years from now,

what's the next thing?

Because it's always hard.

When we talk to pro sports players,

they're like, yeah, I want to win a championship.

I want to be an MVP.

What is, for you, in terms of your career, what's the next thing you want to do or challenge yourself with it's a good question uh I'm having a lot of fun doing comedy on this show it kind of you know everything's sort of morphed into into tv and and the film lines are blurred you can kind of do whatever you want and the older I get I'm like you know you just start taking yourself a lot less seriously. You know what I mean? It's not like Oscar, like I'm that Captain Weirdo, you know, trying to be Johnny Captain Weirdo Oscar guy.
I mean, it's just, I think you just want to work with your friends and do fun material that you enjoy working on and creating it. I mean, I want to be a part on the other side of it and have more agency to create what we want to do.
That must have been kind of refreshing. I would imagine as an actor, it's actually kind of similar to us as podcasters.
Most actors, I want to be Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. It's like not everyone can be that.
We're not going to be TV guys. You know what I mean? Right, right, right.
But realizing what you have is fun and enjoying that is a very liberating feeling.

It is.

You play to your strengths, right?

I mean, you play to your strengths, try and have fun the best you can and do what you want to do and do it with the people you want to do it with. Yeah.
Everyone has their own path. So, you know, we all still try and figure that out.
But, yeah, I mean, the boys is the most fun I've ever had doing anything. So it's been great.
Yeah. And I'm sure you still get, like, when you're walking down the street, there's still a bunch of Gossip Girl fans that are just, you know, like, oh, hey, what's up? Is that a role that you'll never be able to, like, outrun in a way? It seems that way.
Yeah, Netflix in the pandemic, like, all the episodes were on there. It sort of, like, revived it with the younger generation.
Did you notice it? Could you feel it? I could feel it, yeah. Oh, shit, people are watching this show again.
watching this show yeah yeah yeah it's still the same it's the same age you know yeah i'm like 37 now but uh yeah and in new york too it's funny it's it's more the tourists but you're walking down the street and it's like we we shot it here for so long new york was such a big part of it it's like oh there's it's like mickey mouse in disneyland he's right yeah he's in the city you know so they get they get excited you ever like it's fun do you try to stay away from some of the places that you would film scenes in for Gossip Girl? Because that'd be kind of weird for people to come and be like, well, I already saw this on TV. That guy is actually here.
Right. I feel like there used to be bus tours to certain places.
I don't know. It became something insane.
But yeah, I don't know if the Palace Hotel is still even there. But that was one of the big places uh yeah i mean i still walk around the city and i'm like we shot there and there and uh yeah so it's got to be such a weird feeling to to have a show a very popular show be like revitalized by netflix and streaming and then have everyone like re-watching it or watching it for the first time right and you're like i haven't thought about this in a long time like 10 years yeah it's it's a little bizarre yeah it's definitely insane but uh yeah yeah what's up with your twitter account by the way they asked me this yesterday i never log in i never log in in twitter i think it got hacked from what they were telling me so you have 21 tweets you haven't tweeted since 2015.
And you have 110,000 followers. What's going on? Do we have...
That's not bad. Yeah, I know.
But have you ever had the urge? I mean, this is smart that you aren't on Twitter because Twitter is a hell site. But have you ever had the urge to get on and interact? No, I haven't really.
I mean, but maybe I take a photo of this and maybe this is my first tweet since 2015 wait so do you have yeah do you have your twitter account right now could you log in i don't actually i don't know if they've let me in let me see let me see should we do it wow i'm looking at your following right now we just popped off a tweet yeah let's do it you're following you follow tony you should just be like i don't think oklahoma should go to the sec it's just like, not only is your Twitter back, but you're just behind the times at all times. I'm not sure if they should.
I don't know. Oh, you follow Miles Teller? You only follow nine people.
We love Miles Teller. We do love Miles.
Yeah, I'm friends with him out in L.A. We golf all the time, and he's Philly, right? Is he a dick all the time? And I say that in a very nice way.

Like, when we had that interview with him, we interviewed him a couple years ago.

Right.

And we came out of him and we were like, yeah, he's kind of a dick, but, like, in a way that I loved.

You know what I mean? Like a ball-busting one.

Probably for just ball-busting talking sports, right?

Yeah, right.

That's the only time he'll get.

He's a Philly fan.

Yeah, right.

I enjoyed it so much, like, going back and forth and, like, talking shit to each other.

He likes to chop it up.

Yeah. He likes to, yeah, talk shit on the golf course.
We'll shoot pool together. Yeah.
He's competitive. Yeah.
Him and I are super tight, man. And Top Gun was awesome.
Yeah. Incredible.
Yes. I got in.
It worked. You're in.
I got in somehow. So how do we- What should we say? Let's see.
You should go after Lincoln Riley. Be like, Lincoln Riley's a scumbag.
Yes. Yes.
You should be like, you're a coward. She'd be like, you're a coward for leaving Norman.
I can't believe Lincoln Riley thinks the grass is greener at USC. He's in for a rude awakening.
Let me just throw this out there. You could tweet at your brother-in-law and be like, hey, why don't you go on Pardon My Take? I mean, that would be interesting.
I'll tell him. Just tweet him right now now Tweet the Oklahoma take and then reply to that And tag Tony Romo and be like Hey I'm hanging out with these fun guys at part of my take Or I have another one for you So whenever I have like a bad loss I pretend that I'm hacked So I tweet like a link to a PS5 Being like I'm giving away a free PS5 You could do that That's amazing where it's like you've been hacked for seven years yeah is it just part of my take or is it pf pm at part of my take that part of my take yeah i'm part of my take this is hilarious this is his first tweet since 2015 we're breaking news here this is enormous breaking news here we.
Your last tweet was an ad from December 9th, 2015. That's incredible.
I don't know. It just seems like it's a cesspool for, I don't know.
No, it's a terrible place. You should tweet it and just never come back until you come back on our show.
Every time you come on, you have to tweet. Okay.
Then that's it. It's just that.
Wow. This is a time capsule.
Chase must be in, yeah, he must be on part of my take right now. He's tweeting again.
Because back in 2015, one of your last retweets was from Tony when he said, the NFL has canceled our fantasy football convention this year in Vegas, and that is disappointing. And that's like a completely different world than the world we live in right now where the NFL has like core partners.
Gambling partners. Calvin Ridley is laying down $500 parlays.
I remember that story too and being like, yeah, Tony's right. Like this is absolute bullshit.
Why are they doing this? Wow. Okay, it's done.
You did it. What did you say? We weren't able to send your tweet.
Fucking Elon. Damn.
What's going on? I don't know. Maybe we'll have to do it afterwards.
It's in the draft. Is it too long? Do they still do the two? What did you say? He said, on part of my tag, we pissed about Lincoln Raleigh going to USC.
And they want to see Tony Romo on the show. First tweet since 2015, by the way.
Oh, man. How is that not going? What was it saying? They probably emailed you.
What was it saying? They're probably checking your email, and they're like, hey, we want to make sure this is you. That might be it.
Oh, that's a great first tweet back. I love that.
I just had it. Let's see.
I mean, this is, yeah, we're making history right now. It doesn't say.
It doesn't let me do it. Why wouldn't it let you tweet it? I don't know.
Is it too many characters? It doesn't seem like it. I don't know.
No, 280 is what we're up to now. All right you tweet it later i'll do it i'll do it yeah i appreciate that i just followed you so that's big you're following nine people i feel like it's only good for like comedians like you guys are probably great on there you know we're not no you know come on we're washed up yeah we're old i just basically tweet whatever whatever's on my tv in front of me right right it's just like you like just i'm watching sports and i tweet about that that's about it okay I just everything else I just basically tweet whatever's on my TV in front of me.
Right, right. It's just like I'm watching sports and I tweet about that.
That's about it. Okay.
I just complain to corporations for bad customer service. Right, right.
I've almost done that. I'm like, that can't be my first tweet back from 2015.
That would be funny too. That actually would be awesome.
If you've been off for seven years and you're like, hey, IHOP. Yeah.
Hey, Chipotle. Pancakes are done.
Yeah. When I order double guac, I mean double guac.
Yeah. Just coming back hot out of the gates.
Wait. So, so like, what's the next, what's coming up though? What's the next thing on Chase Crawford's like, I want to get you, what, what's the role that we can get you in? We have a movie we could pitch you on, but that's separate.
I want to hear that. Yeah.
Is it me playing Tiger Woods? Because that's all. Actually, we could.
Yeah. Because this is...
So it's a movie. I don't want to get into the details too much, and we'll have you send an NDA after.
But it stars Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, David Spade, Topher Grace, Lawrence Taylor. Rob Shrub.
No, no, no. Fantastic.
Yeah. No, it's got a who's who.
It's called Boner Dogs. And it's about a team of dog sled dogs that get lost out in the wilderness.
One of them has a boner. Actually.
He should be the stunt cock. You should be the stunt cock.
Yeah. I'll be the dog.
Perfect. And also the voice of Tiger Woods' dog.
Right. How about that? This is great.
That would be great. Yeah.
We'll cast Tiger Woods' dog right how about that that would be great yeah we'll cast Tiger Woods' dog let's do an awards campaign this sounds awesome okay it's animated it's animated we're working with loosely attached Happy Madison ever heard of him of course yeah yeah oh Kevin Garnett's in it too yeah it's gonna be a good movie this sounds amazing we've been verbally writing it for four years now five years I think even more verbally writing it there's no script It's going to be a good movie. This sounds amazing.
We've been verbally writing it for four years now, five years. I think even more.
Verbally writing it. Verbally writing it, yeah.
There's no script. It's all up here.
Well, we're so stupid that we've done just enough where we say it so many times that people, someone is going to just make the movie out from under us. Just keep plugging it.
Yeah, Boner Dog, obviously. Well, Sandler's in.
He told us on the show that he was in. Well of happy madison and sandler my i've always thought like there hasn't really been another a good golf you know like in the golf world you know what i mean you weren't a big bagger vance guy or you know yeah i mean there was like tin cup bagger bagger vance i mean what else is there yeah no i i agree with you like tin cup was good was great yeah it was great but there's obviously a a million baseball movies and a million football, basketball.
We need a new golf movie. You could play a really good cop who golfs.
You solve golf course crime. Yeah, there you go.
That's the tag. Mustache.
Miles can play the other guy. Who would he be? Have you ever played a cop before? No feel like you you would be good at playing like a badass but funny cop i give off some cop energy great oh yeah no that'd be yeah it'd be good to do some comedy he's basically just saying you would look good in aviators yeah which is true because you would try these on let's see if you can play a cop yeah pretend you're pulling me over yeah yeah no that works yeah yeah yeah you look like a cop.
Yeah. Pretend you're pulling me over.
Yeah. Yeah, no, that works.
Yeah. Yeah.
That works. What's up, yeah.
Yeah, you look like a cop. Let's go a lot.
Let's go a lot. Let's go a lot.
Yeah, let's do it. I think you would probably look good in anything.
So talking to Miles about Top Gun, we actually interviewed him, I think, like two years before Top Gun came out because it was like the start of the pandemic. It was right before the pandemic that we interviewed him.
Got you, right. It was literally like two weeks before.
And he was talking about how excited he was and how awesome the movie was going to be. Then we kind of forgot about it for a while and it came back.
When he was filming, were you buddies with him then? I was. They filmed it like four years ago.
I mean, it's been on the shelf for a long time because of the pandemic, obviously. So, yeah.
He's been excited for it to come out. Yeah, he's been great.
Yeah, they filmed it like like 2018 or something like that i think so that seems to me like it'd be one of the toughest movies to film like being actually in the planes yeah yeah yeah he he told me a little bit about that i didn't i didn't uh you know it's like mouse you gotta get me in there for that sequel man no but he uh yeah i guess they had to do the the full flight train they shot it in the in the actual airplanes yeah what's the toughest what's the toughest role you've ever had to play whether it be like what you're filming or how you had to play it you know i mean it's not that i haven't had that that many uh extremely tough i mean probably this one just as far as like you know being being in like the condom suit all day long Like the wetsuit I have to wear And just having to sort of maintain at the gym I mean that's really been it But it's been a breeze other than that You know the actual work So speaking of that How rampant is like HGH and steroids in Hollywood I hear rumors I'm not accusing you I do not think that you have no no i i i have not but i mean i you know it's i i get the temptation especially if you're you know whatever if you're a little bit older and want to want to do it for just a specific amount of time like i there's definitely some people to do that it's basically anytime there's a new story where it's like this guy did this workout for six weeks and became like uh like mid-90s WWE star right like you're like that makes no sense how did that happen well no one's getting like the roger goodell like you know email or you know mail mail in their locker be like get you're gonna get we're gonna be tested again tomorrow like no one's getting tested obviously i don't think anyone really cares as long as they do it you know right on their own and then you get the instagram ad where it's like uh the workout that Brad Pitt did for Fight Club. Right, right, right.
Yeah, I don't think that's going to get me Brad Pitt's body, but okay. Testosterone pills.
Yeah, right. I've been doing the 300 workout for the last 10 years.
Yes, that one. And you got to do 10 sit-ups before breakfast, and then you get the nine pack of abs on your stomach.
You look just like King Leonidas. i'm curious to know because when we have actors on the show like it it's it's always fascinating to hear the moment that they knew that they had something going on that they because everybody that wants to be an actor they're like i want to move to la and i want to make it so was there a moment where you were like i think i think now i've made it right uh i guess i guess it was probably guess it was probably gossip girl out here, again, unfortunately.
But it was amazing. I guess we were seeing the Black Keys and the Arctic Monkeys in Central Park probably about this time in the summer.
First time in the summer, we're like 21 years old. Awesome.
New York is awesome awesome and people did start coming up to us at that point at that like outside in central park and that was a little bit of a moment like oh okay this is we've got like a fan base here yeah this could be something cool and then uh yeah that was that was uh that was that kind of moment that moment there and then the billboards were kind of the other thing like okay wow yeah okay so that was a long time ago a little tip going forward the correct answer is being on this show right now that's what you got to do and make us feel good that's right i finally made it i have finally made it this is it this is the new one you're untouchable now this is my new moment yeah you're part of our you're part of our crew now we do take care of our own i love it that's what you have's actually the pitch you need to have to Tony because, again, we've never said anything bad about him. Walking in the barstool offices, yes.
That's been my new moment. We then have his back.
We're very quick. If we meet someone that we've bashed, not that we've bashed you, but we're very quick to just tuck our tail and be like, yeah, okay, no problem.
You're cool now. You mentioned Zalatour.
We're huge you're cool now we had him on the show one time did you i would literally kill a man for him oh yeah that's how instantly loyal we are right right right yeah he's the great dude do you have any enemies how can we prove our loyalty to you and any enemies whatever you want i won't kill just want to say, like, you know, if there's any issues that

you have, if we can take care of it from the sanctity of our own laptops, we will do whatever

Yeah, like if you want us to just lightly bully someone online.

Or heavily.

Or heavily.

Yeah.

My bookie here in New York.

I don't.

I can't think of anyone off the top of my head.

You don't seem like an enemy guy. I'm not big on enemies.
That's just the vibe I catch. I'll just keep moving.
Alright, so I had one last question. This has been awesome, Chase.
It is the Roback question. R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com.
Use code TAKE for 20% off your first purchase. We've got to get you some Roback gear because you putting on Roback gear would be great for Roback um but q-zips hoodies polos great golf gear rowback has it all 20 off your first purchase so you mentioned you're a cowboys fan yeah uh give us a prediction and also are you like is there ever a moment where like why do i why did i have like the best years of the cowboys when i was like eight years old because Because it's been a long time.
Early 90s were fantastic. It's been a long time.
And I knew it felt great. Yeah, yeah, it felt great.
And then, you know, I do miss ever since Tony left. It's been hard.
It's been a love-hate relationship. But they've got all the talent in the world.
That's the thing. I think, you know, I think, I don't know.
I might need a coaching change. I don't know.
Oh, I agree with that. I don't know.
I mean, i think you know i think i don't know i might need might need a coaching change i don't know oh i agree with that i don't know i mean i don't know fully i don't know you're right what goes on in there but there might need to be a little bit of a switch up what's going to happen is mccarthy is he knows that he's just there for one more year yeah he knows and then sean payton right that's what's going to happen in that's what i thought could happen you know know, potentially even when Tony was playing. But Sean Payton's a good dude.
So when Tony was playing, you guys, when did he officially become your brother-in-law? Was he on the Cowboys? Was he playing still? It was probably, it was about 11 years ago. Okay, so yeah.
Yeah. So were there ever times like when he'd throw an interception and like you're with your friends and you're like, this fucking guy.
No, no, no, never.

But it was painful.

I mean, usually there was a little box with the family.

I mean, my mom and sister made me so nervous.

Me and my dad would usually just have to sit on our own.

We'd get our own seats so we didn't have to hear anyone else

talk or think or do anything.

Right.

Yeah, the picks were tough.

But, man, there was a lot more good moments.

No, there were definitely a lot more good moments. But it is hard.
Green Bay was tough. The Dez, that was the toughest moment.
Did he catch it? Absolutely. Definitely caught it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely caught it.
I mean, that was, you know, that was, what were they called, a football move? I mean, listen, he definitely caught it. He switched.
It was a touchdown. Yeah.
No, I agree. Still better from that.
It probably was awkward to have, like, the team you love and now your brother-in-law, and it's like finding that line of, I'd just play in the offensive line if I were you. Right.
It's like, yeah, they can't block for sure. I remember.
That's what we did, though. Yeah, he never really had that Ferrari of a team with all the components with that great offensive line.
Yeah, was it weird like on Thanksgiving, like a big part of your family every year wasn't going to be there? Oh, right, right. You mean – Like he'd be playing a game.
Yeah, oh, that's right. I guess that was because now he calls the game, so he is there for Thanksgiving.
He would always make it back pretty quick, but, yeah, we'd watch it. Well, they had some home games.
Yeah, they are home games. It was every other, I think, yeah.
So those are fun, though, man. Yeah, it was good times.
Yeah, we'd party afterwards. It was great.
Do you like listening to him on CBS, or is it one of those things where he's so close to you that you're like, oh, God, I don't want to listen to this guy again? No, I love listening to him. Even after games, even when they would lose sometimes, he would record it.
He'd want to see specific plays just for him, but then he would stuff out and he would break down you know a four second play he'd talk about for 15 minutes it was always cool to hear that it's still cool to hear him you know he's he comes across as like that excited excited fan that drops like this like savant you know these these great nuggets on on the broadcast i love listening to them yeah great definitely well chase this has been awesome Chase, this has been awesome, man. Thanks, man.
We appreciate it. Everyone go watch The Boys on Amazon every Friday.
Season three right now. PFT said he's going to watch two more episodes.
First two episodes. I'm going to watch.
You're hooked. Come on.
I'm going to start watching. You're hooked.
I am. It's a good show.
It's not what you think. Yeah.
It's amazing. Yeah.
I'm not even a superhero guy. Well, I know.
I watched the first episode last night, and I was like, I got to watch another one. And our producer, Hank, is a fan of you and fan of the show, and so he was like, you guys should have him on because this show is awesome and a lot of people watch it.
Awesome, yeah. No, thanks for having me on, guys.
I'm big fans as well. So, yeah, this was my career moment, walking into Barco.
Yes, there we go. Good work on the Twitter account.

And now here's Will Compton. All right, we're going to do our Mount Rushmore.
We've got Will Compton in studio. PFT has to catch a flight, so he's in an Uber on Zoom.
This is just podcasting at its finest, gritty, grinded out podcasting. But PFT, you were in the Uber and Will got here and on behalf of the two of us, I officially passed the torch.
I passed the torch, busting with the boys, number one. Pass the torch.
Number one. We're going to retire at the end of the year, I told them.
Well, I mean, they're doing stuff that we'd never even thought of doing in the podcasting game. Let's hear them.
I want to hear what we're doing. At some point, you have to give it up for innovation.
You have to know when you've been best. And what you guys are doing, you've got one smaller guy who's getting a little bit bigger in his old age, and you've got one bigger guy on the show and you do a podcast out of out of a van at that point you have to be like they're just they're breaking the mold right now yeah and it's like you know when when the beatles saw jimmy hendrix play you're like well i can't even begin to compare to this so that's how i feel watching you guys so it's it's an honor actually to have you in my seat right now yeah i really do appreciate running the ball down the gut for for six years and then you guys showed up and started fucking air raid offense and we're we're done tears and everything we're done yeah there's a lot of originality that comes out of bus with the boys that taylor and i have been very satisfied about mount busmore yeah tear talk you know uh doing it on a bus a couple guys just bantering talking shop gritty you guys we built You guys did a tour.
We built it from the ground up. You went to different facilities.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The bus and spring tour.
Yeah, that was cool. Yeah.
I think we're going to, this training camp, we're doing something called Lunch Pail Week. Oh, nice.
And we're just going to go across the country. Aren't you guys inventing a bowl game? Yeah.
Yeah. A bowl game.
There we go. Do you guys got to? Yeah.
That's okay. How'd that one go? Yeah, no.
See, Will doesn't even know that we're talking about that we actually did their idea five years ago. He's thinking the Arizona Bowl.
I am thinking the Arizona Bowl. He does.
Oh. That's smart.
You know what? He's smart because I think what the genius of Bustin' with the Boys is it's not actually Will and Taylor. It's the guys behind the computers.
They like hey here's an idea let me just scroll through pmt's 2016 catalog have you seen our have you have you seen our uh no huddle or no huddle stuff where we have guys they kind of like answer the internet like it's great i'm talking groundbreaking shit boys groundbreaking shit i i i that's it that's good the lunch bale stuff i've never heard anybody do anything with that before yeah certainly like it's not what i named my business back in 2014 no um no not at all like you guys are just like on the bleeding edge you want to hear we're also going to do uh we're going to try and make tight ends great again as well oh wow yeah that's cool um i actually am very happy for all your success because i do love you, Will. And it is good to see the boys getting some shine.
And, you know, I do appreciate that. I think it's a little, you know, I was trying to banter with you guys right there.
But if you listen to the Bust With The Boys episode today that just dropped, there was a lot of love passed to the part of my take, boys. Oh.
And the people who are already out there. Oh.
Spitting Chiklis. Because I was talking about the album.
Oh, you were talking about becoming number one. Yeah, becoming number one.
You were doing an acceptance speech. We did a, the boys, I shout out all the boys behind the computers, talked about how gritty they are, the hardest working men in America.
We all came up, did a shout out whistle pig. Cheers.
Were you still number one at the end of the speech? We were still number one at the end of the speech. We fell to number two as your, your i don't even know when this comes out we're probably not even in the top five anymore but but the moment is what the moment is what matters because i go i don't know how that shit works because i know for a fact like you guys have hundreds of thousands maybe seven figure downloads on an episode and i'm like we're not even fucking breaking six figures yet in a week on one episode so i, I don't know how it works, whether it's like a consistent newer thing or whatever, but we're going to enjoy this moment.
Listen, a good friend of mine, Deion Sanders, once told us, always make a monument out of a moment. Ooh, I love that.
You like that? We might do a segment with that. That's good.
That's good. Yeah, it's fresh.
I like that. And also, I think you might have had a little misstep here, though, Will, because you came on to our show.
We're going to get the Compton bump. Yeah.
It's real. And then next thing you know, part of my day, because you're on this show, part of my day is going to overtake Boston with the boys, and we might not turn back.
You might have just passed the torch. It might have been Schrodinger's's torch at the same moment as big cat gave it to you you gave it right back to us but i'm i'm all about the boys so a rising tide lifts all ships i know you said that quote too pft yep um that's i think you came up with the quote political but that's what i'm saying like i'm all for the boys man yeah like you can ask uh in Compton Bump, you can ask Ronan Sass about the Boy Dad merch.

Yeah.

The Raiders last year.

Yeah, the Raiders.

Yeah.

That's real.

They cut me and you look at what happened.

Yeah.

They lost first round to the Super Bowl champion.

It's good.

One thing I just realized, too,

you have a guy that always represents the Washington Commanders organization,

and then you've got another guy on the show that's a big, big 10 guy.

So that's cool.

Like, we should have thought about doing something like that.

I was actually very disrespectful to Will because Nebraska is a big 10 school. And so – Wow, how is that? Maybe it's going over my head.
No, you're saying Taylor's the big, big 10 guy. Yeah.
I recognize you. Oh, I see what's going on.
I recognize you. Yeah, come on.
Come on. We're big 10 pros.
It It's easy to think of first rounders. You know, he kind of writes coattails.
Like, he's all about getting the high achieving guys first. He doesn't think of the gritty undrafted motherfuckers out there.
All right. So, Will, it's great that you're here in studio.
Real quick, before we do the Rushmore, year 10? We'll see what happens. Are we feeling it? Are we not feeling it? Oh, oh i'm always feeling it i think right now it's work as hard as fucking possible and what's in front of you and that's training every day that's staying in shape that's eating enough meat that vegans would want to go protest in dc right now the boy is always going to be ready but until then yeah we'll be doing busting with the boys let me ask question.
Have you thought about, as a bit, how funny it would be if you could just keep getting just even to an OTA and get to year 25? Just keep going. Year 12, you went in for a tryout with the Broncos.
Year 12, loading. Year 15, and it just keeps on going.
And you're literally the man that never retired. Right.
I do think there are a couple coaches out there that would go with that bit as well. Yeah.
Our friend Vrabel. He's all about it.
I think we can get LeFleur, Basaccia, those guys up in the north, Green Bay. I think we can get them involved.
Yes. If you go to the Packers, I will hate your guts.
Really? Oh, yeah. Wisconsin?

No. Bears.
Oh, yeah. Bears.

You're a Bears guy. I forgot about that.

If you become friends with Aaron Rodgers, you're going to jail too. Or he brings it down

from the inside. Yeah.
Oh, okay.

Yeah. If you go as a mole, that's fine.

And just spy.

Try to get you guys as much information as possible. Give me all the dirt.

Try and become his best friend. Yep.

Or, Will, what you could do is

as a bit too for the show, I think you guys

would be really good at this. Try and become his best friend.
Yep. Yeah, or Will, what you could do is,

as a bit, too, for the show,

I think you guys would be really good at this.

You could maybe try out for the XFL,

like, as a bit.

I would never stoop that low.

I don't think I would ever go that low

and fucking do a documentary on me failing in the XFL.

You know what the best part about this,

having you here, is I guarantee you there will be people online

who are like,

are Bustin' with the boys in PMT beefing?

Yeah, like real beef.

You're like, yeah, I'm solid, real beef.

Hey, because whenever,

sometimes we're like,

whether it's tear talk,

or I might have saw one yesterday

on the top post,

but there's always some diehard fucking AWLs out there that just. Yeah, what's the diehard tier one guys? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They just go at us. I'm like, oh, you guys don't do shit that's original.
Fucking dear talk is Mount Rushmore. God bless them.
You need the protectors because sometimes you've got to sleep. You need someone at the wall to make sure the shit gets done.
I feel like they're like your guys' burner accounts uh they could be billy's he he probably has a bunch he's got a lot of time right now yes but yes we need those people on the wall we appreciate like there are definitely a select it's basically every podcast i think has like a seal team sex i know them i can see them online i know which ones are like they'll go and they'll get in the mud with just random like some dude who like isn't even on espn but works for espn with like 6 000 followers he'll go fucking yeah in the trenches with him and it's like i see you i know dude rico like i wouldn't say like i'm sure rico's not like a tier one or watches bus with the boys but you know he does you know how rich eyes has been bantering with us on like coming on the bus. Yeah.
The first time it happened when he was like having fun on his show, Rico

was like having fun on his show rico because we were here walked up to us and goes hey this fucking guy uh rich eyes and like do you need me to do you need me to say something and we're like we just laugh like nah rico it's all good like that that's our boy like he's just having fun yeah but that's rico yeah. Rico's a perfect encapsulation of the guys you need on the wall.
Well, actually, no, that doesn't actually work anymore. Never mind.
He got off the wall. But it's still in there, let's be honest.
He got off the wall. People think that we invent stuff.
People actually think that we invented Mount Rushmore. So when there's a morning show in Cleveland that does a Mount Rushmore of like Browns players of all time, then they like tag us and be like, yo, they're stealing your bit.
And it's like, no, we were actually stealing their bit ironically. Right.
And then made it our bit. Like somebody thought, somebody tagged us in when Bucci Grass did the Bucci Overtime Challenge.
Because like one time as a joke, we said we're doing this thing the Gucci Overtime Challenge, where you just tell us who you think scores in overtime. Now people think that we did Bucci's bit before Bucci.
It's perfect. You guys have a real audience.
The audience is strong. Yeah.
We got to tell them to stand back and stand by those. Yeah, we're at peacetimes with the bus and boys.
That's an absolute fact. We are at peacetime with the bus and boys.
we will let you know if wartime ever happens again but we are absolutely at peace times we're allies we're on the same team one heartbeat all of that love that all of that all right so let's do it in honor of that let's do the mount rushmore of boys so we're gonna do the mount rushmore boys will you're gonna start no i'm going second all right so why don't you guys start. Team Hank will start.
We'll go around the room. Mount Rushmore, boys, open-ended.
Very open-ended. We get a definition, like a rough definition.
This was so fun to look into because I probably have like 20 people that I was thinking of. So we have some literal boys.
I'll just say that on our list. We have some literal boys.
Some animated boys, Some fictional boys? We have some literal boys. All right.
How is Hank feeling? Can I get a vibe check on Hank? Not good. Not good.
He just had a piece of pizza, though, so he's feeling a little better. You can tell he's not in it.
He asked for the definition, and he kind of just got quietly in bag. He's a suit now.
No, it's just like the spelling bee. Language of origin, please.
I'm just trying to double check, make sure our answers are good. Do you want me to give you one boy off the list that we're not going to probably use? Sure.
Okay. Here's one boy off our list.
An honorable mention. No, we discussed earlier.
The Beach Boys. Well, yeah, that's multiple boys.
Yeah, that's multiple boys. You can use multiple boys.
So I could be like the entire team of Remember the Titans from the Remember the Titans movie? If you want to do that, you can do that. That's a good group of boys.
All right. Pablo Sanchez.
That's a good one, dude. Good pick.
There you go. That's a really good pick.
That's a boy. Greatest athlete of our generation.
Yes, that is a boy. That's a great pick.
Thanks. That's a great pick.
All right. I'm going to go.
That was Jake. Very cool.
John Madden. John Madden is a man.
John Madden. I think he came out of the wound with a comb over.

Wait, wait, wait.

He's a man's man.

He's the most man a man has ever been.

You think a boy could be a football coach?

There's no boy in him.

What's tough about this is I thought I was going to kill it.

I thought BC was going to look at me and be like, that was on my list.

Well, they're very snarky.

They like to try and like shame.

Can I just say real quick, I texted Will. I was like, we're going to do the Mount Rushmore of boys.
He's so vain and so in his own head because he's number one now. He goes, oh, so like the Mount Rushmore of people we've had on the bus? I was like, what? Oh, I had a few questions in there.
I was like, historic, animated bus and boys. And he say the vain thing, which, touche.
But I said that, like you just said, they're very like, they can be chaotic. They want to create division at times.
And I wouldn't put it past them because they love chaos. And they're trying to influence the audience to make them.
No, we're not influencing anyone. So hang on, hang on.
This is where the definition plays. No, no.
See, that's where it's like they like to do it's open-ended, but then you can answer and say that's wrong. Like, to me, you're the boy.
You know what I'm saying? Like, everybody in here is a boy. Okay.
So I don't know why John Madden wouldn't play. Now, I can pick.
I agree with you. Fine, I'll take it.
If he's considered a man my number one pick. No, no, no, no, no.
That's your pick, yeah. Yeah, you keep it.
Well, not though. We were doing boys.
Your hands off the piece. I just...
When you give a definition and say it's open-ended, you can't then be like, that doesn't count. But I can also say I consider John Madden a man.
Go ahead, PFT. I consider him a god.
Yeah. We can still debate it.
That's why I love that pick. He's a guy.
Yeah, but he's a boy. Like, he's for the boys.
Madden, bro. Madden is in every young kid's room.

See, we're making it now about young kids, not John Madden.

He's for the boys.

All right.

That's a good pick.

Good pick.

Trust me, I have a whole list.

If we have a definition, they've got to be teenagers or under.

I'll do it.

Yeah.

Let's go with our first pick.

Okay.

So we're going to go with the bad boys. The bad boys.
Bad boys. Yeah.
Will Smith, Martin Lawrence. Yes, the bad boys.
Yeah. You're going to tell me.
Come on, the Pistons are the bad boys. The bad boys.
You could do the Pistons too, but it's the bad boys. Which boys? Will Smith and Martin Lawrence specifically, but it is also, yeah, you could say the Pistons too, the bad boys.

Come on, man.

Bad boys. Bad boys.

Can you explain it? Can you explain it? I was letting it digest. Yeah, he's just the absolute boy.
It's like if you're – he's living the dream. He's a cool dude.
I feel like he, you know, if you saw him, he'd be riding a horse or something. Like, you know, drinking a, having a nice piece of straw in his mouth.
Cowboy hat on. Glass of whiskey.
Cool voice. Yeah.
Texas. I'm with that.
Yeah, I mean, he's the man. He gives up, like, pep talks to the teams that he, like, owns or works with.
He, yeah. I'm with that.
He's the man. He gives up pep talks to the teams that he owns or works with.

Yeah.

I don't want to tell you.

No, let's hear it.

Let's hear it.

He's a dude to me, but that's fine.

He's a dude.

Can dudes not be your boy?

They were maybe boys, but he's certified a dude.

Dog.

How are you going to go with the bad boys?

Yeah, those are the bad boys.

Those are dudes.

Those are actors.

No, they're not even

the boys.

They're the actors

acting like boys.

Sandlot?

Those are the boys.

Those are the characters, though.

Okay.

Listen, it's a

contentious film.

Personally, I like that one

because Matthew McConaughey,

if I saw him,

I'd be like,

hey, you're one of the boys.

You're a boy.

I'd be like, what's up, dude?

Because Ryan Reynolds almost made my list because I love Ryan Reynolds. He's the boy.
What was the explanation of that? He's just my favorite, probably, dude in the world. Oh, dude.
Without meeting him or knowing him, just watching all of his stuff. He subconsciously just revealed he's a dude.
I love Ryan Reynolds. Yeah.
We might have lost PFT in a tunnel. All right, go ahead.
Your next pick. I'm going to go with...
It's hard. This is a hard one.
No, I just know what your reaction is probably going to be. I'm going to go with the Hall of Famer right here.
Okay. Rocky Balboa.
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Want to expound? No. Okay.
Yeah, that's it. I think the movies explain themselves.
Okay. You know what I mean? It speaks for themselves.
Rocky 1, 2, 3. Like, if you want me to go into a little bit here.
He was kind of whipped, though. I mean, Rocky 5.
I mean, he's- Tommy gun in the alley. Yeah.
Hey, you knock him down. Why don't you try knocking me down now? Yeah? My ring's outside.
That's a juicy... That's like the only juicy scene.
It's a bad movie, but it's... Yeah, that's the only juicy scene.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, PFT's coming back in.
And people who claim that Rocky IV is their favorite, they're fake Rocky fans. Yeah.
Why? You think which one? I just think it's Rocky IV, the Russian one. Rocky IV is the most popular.
Right. I think it's the easiest mainstream would be easiest mainstream like yeah yeah i get what you're saying like if you can just answer like oh what's your favorite song of this band and you say the most popular one right right yes okay i i actually agree with that they're all great yeah yeah i think it's i mean the original they are all great like two.
Three, I mean, he loses in three. He loses the eye of the tiger in three.

Right, right.

Apollo Creed and him are kind of like,

part of my take and bust with the boys.

The whole thing.

No, we're...

Well, then in four.

So you guys, are we Rocky or you Apollo?

In four, would you die or would we die?

We die.

We die.

Yeah, I think you guys have to die.

He kills us.

That is literally the passing of the four.

In three, I like to think about you guys training us,

like trying to find the eye of the tiger.

That makes sense.

That makes sense.

All right, PFT, did you see my text?

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

So we're going to go with true boys that are forever boys.

It's Peter Pan and the Lost Boys.

They never grow up.

How can you not?

Always boys.

They're always boys.

Forever boys.

They never want to grow up. They're true true boys Is that not the essence of a boy? You sound like you're Spanning Pinocchio More than Peter Pan What are you talking about? Peter Pan and the Lost Boys The Lost Boys They're boys You either die a boy Or you live long enough To become a man They kind of have both of it Because they're forever boys Even when they're men They're literally trapped in boyhood forever yeah i feel you yeah i mean that's what why not just go with peter pan well it's peter pan and the lost boys it's a whole group because i mean dude you're gonna kick out rufio rufio's a g i got you yeah i don't think you've seen the movie i haven't seen i don't think you've seen no i haven't seen no I mean it's one of the greatest There was a Remember this Hank like 10 years ago When we had the debate I said Hook is a top 50 movie all time Everyone lost their mind but I seriously think that I think it's a top 50 movie all time That movie fucking rocks Is that Is that serious? Or are you just being big cat? Yes, dead serious.
If you watch that movie, I was dead serious. Watch that movie and tell me that's not a phenomenal movie.
But a top 50 of all time. I did do a list.
I did a list. I think it comes in around the 40s, but it's a top 50 movie of all time.
It was a great movie. I mean, it is your truth.
It's not like I can tell you what what your favorite movies i appreciate that all right pft our last pick so we wanted to go with a musical group in our last pick and we wanted to be like the best boys of all time um and there was several to choose from going back through you know history going back to like the 60s 70s 80s a lot of boy bands lot of boys. We decided to go with the best, the goats, the Island Boys.
I'm a just Island Boy. Island Boy.
I'm a just Island Boy. I'm a just Island Boy.
That one pissed me off the most. That one pissed me off the most.
That's where we go full chaos. Not that I haven't been singing, not that I wasn't singing that song when it was hot, but just the fact that you guys are picking the Island Boys for the Mount Rushmore of boys.
I like that pick. Island Boys, thank you, Hank.
I think that might be one of the worst picks of all time. Yeah.
From the Caribbean. Because I'm going to go, the fact that I'm saying, because I'm pivoting to a group, because I just want to be involved in this whole group pick.
I'm picking the 95 Huskers. And the fact that the Island Boys are sharing a podium with the 95 Huskers just pisses me the fuck off.
Okay, so that's your last pick? 95 Huskers? Both on steroids. Pander pick.
It's okay. It's all good.
This is my truth. Both on steroids.
Pander to his fan base. Let me search what pander means.
My wife does this to me all the time. She just drops words.
Yeah, words. She says words to you? Gratify or indulge.
You're indulging the Nebraska, the hardcore Big Red Nation. Yeah, it's one of the best fan bases out there.
Anytime I have an opportunity to get on a platform like this and shout out the boys, I'm trying to... No disrespect to us in 2012.
Would you say that... Are you a boy if you are jacked up on steroids? Yeah.
Wow. Come on now.
Husker Power? Yeah. Cocaine and steroids back in the 90s.
I mean, all the time. Imagine if you're in that locker room, BC, and some of the boys are like, hey, I got some stuff.
Yeah. Are you about to do it? Yeah.
Why? For the boys. For the boys.
Yeah, that's true. Tom Osborne has this nice, sweet voice who's hyping you up, and you look to the left and right, and you just tell the boys, hey, let's go get busy.
I like the way you explained it. I like that pick.
If you're down to take 20 years off your life for the boys, you're a boy. I agree.
And also, there are a shitload of unironic mullets in that locker room, which is always cool for the boys. If you see an ironic mullet, it can be funny sometimes or whatever, but if you've got a locker room that's got 9 to 10 genuine mullets because they think it looks sweet and badass, those are some boys.
I agree with you so much. It's because you know they're having a great time and they don't give a fuck whatever anybody else is thinking.
Yes, absolutely. Hank, your team's last pick.
You want a quick little inside baseball on our Mount Rushmore group text? Yeah. After your last pick, someone, I'll let you guys guess who, said L, PFT weighing down Team Big Cat this season.
Memes, that motherfucker. Memes.
Where is he right now? So mean. That's so mean.
Our last pick, we also are going to go with a musical artist. We decided we would choose the top artist on YouTube for the last three years.
Most views, most listens. Big Cat loves him.
It's NBA Youngboy. Ooh, I do love him.
I don't know who that is. NBA Youngboy? I don't either.
He has the most listens on YouTube? Is he brazy? I actually think he's C. He's crazy? He's crazy with a C? Okay, good pick.
Thanks. Yeah.
I feel like it kind of ended on a weird note. No, that's all right.
We'll do honorable mentions real quick. So we had also on our list, we had Saturday for the boys.

Boy George.

We had Big Boy.

Hang on.

The Bussin boys?

They did.

Yeah, no, here it is.

Bussin.

Beastie Boys.

Soldier Boy.

The Beach Boys.

That would have been a good pick.

Yeah, Fat Boy Slim.

Soldier Boy would have been a great pick.

I had a list for-

Fuck.

You might have fucked that up. I had a list for Horniest Boys.
Horniest Boys? Yeah. It was- Hang on, let me find it.
Was Soldier Boy a big miss by us? Yeah. And we went Island Boys instead? That was a huge- I feel good about Island Boys.
Yeah, you guys- I'm talking with Island Boys. That was such a miss.
Yeah, the Island Boys was-. Hank said it was a great pick.
Shit. Yeah, Hank did say.
Now this is where Hank tries to rewrite history because he's like, oh, Memes is bullying me in to saying that was an L. Common PFT L plus ratio on me.
No, it's not. It was a good pick.
Go with your first instinct, Hank. Now I should never text in this chat again.
I like it, Memes. I like, I like memes and spiciness.
You gotta embrace it.

We need the contention. I chirp PFT all time.

Yeah, the contention on Mount Rushmore. His picks are terrible

and he is weighing down their team. No, he's not.

Oh, stop it. Stop it, Hank.

Not gonna work. I mean, have you guys won

single Mount Rushmore? I mean, dude, Island

Boys. Despite the pandering and super teaming?

Yeah, we have.

We actually have, Hank. So I'm gonna cut you off right there.

Alright, what are your honorable mentions, oh for uh horny boys oh you had horny boys okay it was uh Hugh Hefner yeah Donald Trump we should actually save this we should do a horniest they're gonna now do this on Boston we should do this if. No, we should save it.
We can do it, but can I zoom in and say mine?

Yes, yes, yes.

No, you'll be on it.

You and Taylor can be on it.

We'll do it later this summer.

I already kind of said my ones, though.

We'll cut this.

We'll cut this.

We'll cut this. All right.

We'll wrap it up.

My honorable mentions.

Yeah.

Give me your honorable mentions.

Doug Funny.

Yep.

Kevin Hart was on there.

Okay.

Because he's short. Robert, you know, you got to play the political game every now and then.
What do you mean by that? Expound on that. Well, here's one that will expound on it.
Robert Downey Jr.'s character in Tropic Thunder. Okay.
Oh, dude. Hey, Adam Sandler.
Yes. Dude, he's a- that's a good one.
I don't know why I didn't say that one. Yeah.
He's a, he's a boy. Cause he's always like, he's got, I think a boy has to have a little of that immaturity in them.
Yeah. And he comes into any set, any media pulls up on dudes playing basketball on the street and just wants to hoop.
Just got the boyhoodhood in him. Yeah.
I also think it's important for a boy to have boys.

Yeah.

That's a big part of being a boy, and Adam Sandler's got boys.

He does.

He's got a lot of boys.

Yeah.

This was a great Mount Rushmore, though.

Thank you, Will.

I had a lot of fun.

I learned a lot about how you guys do it a little bit more.

We love you, and we're going to do another Mount Rushmore later on in the summer with

you and Taylor together.

That'd be great.

And I love you guys, too.

All right.

And I appreciate you for passing the torch over.

It was my pleasure.

Personally, I would like... later on in the summer with you and Taylor together.
That'd be great. And I love you guys too.

All right.

And I appreciate you for passing the torch over.

It was my pleasure.

Personally, I would like to tell everybody if they want to follow me on Twitter,

I'm chasing a million followers right now.

Oh, nice.

What do you got?

At underscore Will Compton.

I am at 187,000.

Okay.

So a ways to go, but...

We'll get you at close.

You know, you got to start somewhere.

I was going to say closer than you were at zero, but that's actually not true.

Yeah.

Well, you know, you're closer than you were at zero.

That's true.

No.

You're closer to zero, but you are closer to a million than you were when I was at zero.

I'm with that.

That's a fact.

That's what I need.

That's the energy.

All right, PFT, have a safe flight.

Thank you, Will.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm going to be, I'm going to Jamaica. You know why? Great Mount Rushmore by Will Compton, Big Cat, PFT and the boys and me, me, me, PFT, Liam and memes.
We did our thing and Jake. Very cool.
But I'm here to talk about busy. If you've been listening for a while, you already know we love Coors Light.

get a Vizzy. Great

job, Hank. Awesome.

Alright,

Hank, go right into

your Fyre Fest.

It better not be that ad read because you crushed

it. Yeah, I mean, yeah,

no, I did crush it.

And

updating on my last Fyre Fest for a couple weeks ago, I did find an apartment. Thanks.
You know, Big Cat helped me out with that a little bit. And then I was supposed to at one point.
I guess it's not really a Fyre Fest, but it was going to be I was I was going to try and move. I got the apartment two days ago and I was going to try and move today.
And I had wheels in motion. I was calling movers trying to do all this last minute stuff.
And then yesterday, I just I just I just canceled it. It was just like, I'm going to do this in two weeks.
Wait. Yeah.
So you have two apartments right now. Well, yeah.
Tomorrow I will.

Got a couple of places.

Are you able to afford both?

Yes.

Well, yeah, I'm only paying a half-month rent on this one.

Okay.

Oh.

Yeah, we're good.

Big baller.

Big head co-signed my apartment.

Yeah, so now I'm going to have to make sure the check gets mailed every single month. My credit sucks somehow for reasons I don't know.
So I had to get a co-signer on my apartment. So I had to co-sign Hank's apartment, yes.
How are you going to decide where you're going to be going? There's nothing in your new apartment yet? Is it completely empty? Yeah, well, I'm going back toate for for like a week and a half and then i'm gonna come back and then move the following week i actually like that move hank like you can't you can't move today come on it's i was come on it was it was it was like it was one of those things where you know when you're just like you're kind of like tunnel vision you're locked in and you're trying to make things happen and then i took a step back and was just like why am i doing this like what it's summer it's busy it's time it's time to vibe yeah it is time to vibe moving over the summer it's just the worst too because you get so sweaty when you're packing the stuff up the moving trucks never have ac in the back of them you're carrying stuff up stairs it's an awful time to move so yeah just keep keep pushing it off but hanks this this is just another step in hanks journey to becoming like the next a-rod type business mogul he now he's doubled his real estate investments that he's got yes pretty soon you're gonna you're hank the landlord that's what you're gonna have tenants soon hank we'll see i mean not the way these fucking prices are going, dude. Inflation and shit.
Hank, you realize, too, this has created a relationship, another aspect to our relationship. I hope the hungry dog hits this fall.
Well, you offered it. I did offer.
I did offer. I 100% offered.
I'm happy that you got the apartment. I didn't think about it until because I was like, I got denied from an apartment because my credit isn't as good as it should be.
And then you're like, well, I'll co-sign. And then that kind of got in my head.
So I was like, all right, we're good. Yeah.
But also, if for whatever reason, Hank doesn't hit on his bets and he runs a little short and he needs to cover some money for his rent. Can't he just give you a raise, Big Cat?

Oh, true.

And then you kick that back to him?

That's true.

The double dip.

Sunken costs, yeah.

Yeah, sunken costs.

Exactly.

All right, PFT, you're a fire fest.

I'm having a pretty clean week.

There's not a lot that I can complain about right now.

I'm in Jamaica.

I'm an island boy right now.

And then moving down to the shore. I was going to be your fire.
All of our fire is not making soldier boy, but I did pick soldier boy on our island. Boys great.
All my honorable mentions. I had soldier boy.
I was going to mention him. Hank, you also said during the show, it was a great pick.
And now you're just changing your tune. You're going whichever way the wind blows.
And but the bottom line is I'm having a pretty clean week. The biggest fire fest that I've got right now is being in Jamaica.
I'm around a lot of Jamaican people and hearing them talk. They've got the coolest accents in the world.
And it just makes you happy to hear it. And I'm like fighting tooth and nail to not turn into Chet Hayes and to not just like start talking along with him because that would be problematic and I'm not going to do it.
But just know like deep down in my in my lizard brain, I want to join in the festivities and I want to break out a little bit of the patch wall, but I'm not going to do it. It was great.
I'm not going to. It's great.
I'm not going to do what if you were going to do it. What would you say? Like, what do you want to say in your head? I'm feeling iry, man.
In Jamaica, wetter always nice in Jamaica, man. Right by the beach.
Rice and peas. Island boy in the Caribbean.
But I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it, but I'm an island boy.
I'm just island boy. Is it super hot there uh the fantasy island boys was the worst oh yeah oh yeah that was very bad yeah can we oh man that was yeah worst of oh yeah yep that will have to go on worst of by the way mount rushmore update team hank has two wins cat calm has one and guest has one okay so all of a sudden hank likes this that doesn't that doesn't affect anything i mean i win i win them whether or not i have a team or not so like i'm not surprised that's true yeah pizza toppings um all right my fire fest i've just i i've just been hung over too many times in the last week and it's um i hate i like i'm just too old i did i did i did dead and company on friday i did pride parade i didn't see any of you guys there nope i didn't see any friend died um i was traveling i was golfing okay oh you were golf funeral got it um yeah i'm just i got a handicap bad handicap thank god for revital it i guess but man the the when we had that Mount Rushmore with Whitney and Biz, I don't drink enough to realize how bad hangovers are.
So three in one week is just kicking my ass. Well, you also can.
I mean, maybe you can, but I feel like when I get in those situations, I'll just take Saturday and just sleep for 11 hours. That's where you don't have the.
You don't have the, you don't have the catch up. No, I'm actually, I think I have like a little theory going in my brain that when you become a parent and you don't have that catch up ability for hangovers, it just ends up being like days off your life.
So it's like, I'll just, I'll never catch up on sleep. And then it would just be like another 10 days, you know, going to, going to the dead and company on Friday night, another 10 days off my life.
That's it. I just just I'll never catch up on sleep and then it would just be like another 10 days you know going to going to the dead and company on Friday night another 10 days off my life that's it I just I I learned when I was like 34 years old to never ever drink on a Wednesday yeah Wednesday is the worst night of the week to get drunk on by far like Tuesday you can you can come back from a Tuesday now by by Thursday maybe Thursday afternoon you're feeling And then Friday, you get to enjoy your Friday.
If you get drunk on a Wednesday night, you are a certified moron if you're an adult because Thursday's a wash. Friday, you're stricken with panic.
You can't even enjoy your Friday because you're trying to catch up on everything that you missed on Thursday. Bubba, what are you going to say? You've got the whole week ahead of you.
You can also talk hungover. What? Bubba was shaking his head.
Well, if you produce a sports podcast where you have to record on Tuesday and Thursday, Wednesday is a pretty good night to drink. It's very specific.
Okay. Very relatable.
That's true. That's true.
Very relatable. I also just think Monday is always the worst night to drink.
Yeah, I was also going to say Monday. You just need a reset night.

Yeah, you have to eat a salad and think you're doing well.

Doing anything bad to your body on a Monday is just a killer way to start off a week.

It will just completely bury you.

No, Monday is, for Monday night football, you have between two to four beers, five if it goes to overtime, and you ease yourself out of that weekend. What about the rest of the year? The shakes.
There's more non-Monday Night Football Monday nights. Monday and April is just dead time.
I refuse to admit that. No, Monday night.
I'm talking football season only. Football season only, that's my strategy.
Okay. We're not in football season though right now.

Yeah, but I occasionally on a Monday, I'll have a couple of beers, two to four.

If I had a weekend, Monday's the night you got to, you got to re Monday's the whole blank slate, like got to start off strong.

And then you slowly let everything fall. I mean, I don't, I shouldn't drink on any night weeknight.

I shouldn't drink any night period, but I always thinkay is the night that like you have to get that sleep

get that nice meal in you feel good about yourself sit on your couch that's you got to reset you got

to reset my week my week officially starts health wise tuesday morning tuesday morning is when i'll

go to the gym and then i'll make up for all my weekend monday's a cheat day for you yeah this

monday's no it's not a cheat day it's a taper off day it's a tape you taper off from your weekend

I don't know. Tuesday morning is when I'll go to the gym and then I'll make up for all my weekend.
Monday is a cheat day for you. Yeah, this is Monday.

No, it's not a cheat day.

It's a taper off day.

It's a tape.

You taper off from your weekend on Sunday.

You work on Sundays.

I'm talking if I'm not doing the podcast right now, which I'm saying for six years.

I'm saying what world are you talking about right now?

I'm talking about my Monday through Friday job like most of our listeners have right now.

When weekends are because our weekends right now are Saturdays. That's basically our weekend.
Right. I bet you most of the listeners, though, would say that they would rather, if given the choice, they'd rather drink on Wednesday than Monday.
Like, Monday's just a bad night to get drunk. I'm not saying getting drunk.
I said two to four beers. Two to four.
Very specific. Conversation started, though, with me getting drunk.
On Wednesday. Right.
I was talking about hangover. You said Wednesday's the worst night to drink.
Wednesday's the worst night to get drunk on, as an adult, for sure. I still think Monday would be the worst.
Embrace debate. Yeah.
I think if you start, if you're really drunk on Monday night, your whole week is fucked. You're just fucked.
You still have three days to catch up, though, after the hangover. That's what I'm saying.
I guess we'll let the crowd sort this one out. I still don't understand.
You have to go to work the next day for four more days. Yeah, but work is work.
At least then you're good for the weekend, which is all that matters. But you could be good for the weekend if you go to work on Thursday, go to work on Friday, you're good for the weekend i think your friday is ruined now i don't even know what we're talking about because are you talking about like a 25 year old who doesn't get hangovers or now you're talking about a 35 year old like what i feel like we've shifted football season non-football season you versus our listeners i don't know where we are in my specific case right now i don't drink't drink on weeknights.
That's my rule. But in the former life, I would much prefer to have some beers during Monday night football.
But that's what you're going on Wednesday. So, Justin, we're talking football season now.
Yeah. Only football season.
I live my life mentally in football season. I would say in my specific case, I agree with you, Big Cat, but I think that if we polled the listeners, that I think they would, not by much, would side with PFT.
But I personally agree with you about Monday because that would torch my whole week. But just saying it with Monday Night Football changes the whole discussion because there's more non-Monday Night Football nights.
What PFT is essentially saying is he likes to drink a couple beers on Monday Night Football, which is fine. But there's more non-monday night football nights what pft is essentially saying is he likes to drink a couple beers monday football which is fine but that that has there's more non monday football mondays than monday football mondays i don't think pft acknowledges days that football doesn't like i don't know yeah it kind of seems like what he's getting at it's this is correct there's like a there's like seven qualifiers to this debate that you've presented Listen, if I can't drink two to five beers during a monday night football game then i i don't think that i want to live anymore and for that reason you should never drink on a wednesday in april correct what you're saying as a 25 year old even though as a 25 year old when i was working for yourself yes yes got it okay two years ago my fire fest is that debate uh hank or uh jake finish this

off yeah i have a few quick ones first similar to hank i am moving and nothing went wrong it just

stinks so a lot of time consuming stuff fact yeah it does it absolutely stinks on number two i had

diarrhea again on the show earlier this week yeah so we're averaging once a month over the last two

months it's not good for you so plan for july like 21st for the next episode and uh lastly i got a haircut this morning and i'm allergic to shaving cream but i forgot to tell the guy and he put it on i have a little like i don't know if it's you're allergic to shaving the red rashes yeah i don't know if you can see it right now but how many things are you allergic to seriously no food just dogs cats pollen shaving cream the way i found out is that i was at camp once they did a pie in the face with shaving cream and i just started sneezing getting red everywhere so i just jesus traumatic day yeah you gotta just go you gotta start narrowing your face you're a wild one jake i love you for it you're a wild one like that just sucks to be allergic to shaving that's not how do you how do you shave electraiser got it okay that makes sense that was an easy answer you're right i was like that yeah you're right yeah point you does exist. Okay, let's do numbers.

We'll see everyone on Wednesday.

Love you guys. We'll be it anyway.
Today is on our day to find you. Shock, hey, are we coming for your love again? Shock, hey, are we coming for your love again? We need less to say.
I thought you said it, it's about to be a stone in my life. It's time to learn my life is okay.
Say after me, at least we're better to be safe than somebody. Say after me, at least we're better to be safe than somebody.
