on the sun oh no we're gonna rock down to electric avenue and then we'll take it higher oh we're gonna rock down to electric avenue and then we'll take it higher it's part of my take presented by barstool sports welcome to part of my take presented by chevy silverado the strongest most advanced silverado ever. Today is Monday, August 23rd.
And boys, we officially have made it. We have just completed the last weekend without meaningful football.
We are here. Next Saturday, college football week zero happens.
You might say, I don't want to watch UConn versus Fresno State don't watch nebraska versus illinois i want to watch all of it yeah by meaning meaningful football when i hear that i think scott frost and bielema bielema i got it like a matchup i almost said i almost said lovey smith you had it in your head i saw you i've got to do a hard reset this happens every year we forget about the different teams that different players on. Remember, Corey Davis is a Jet.
Bud Dupree's on the Titans. Bud Dupree's on the Titans.
Yeah. It was funny.
We were on Pittsburgh Radio on, what, Tuesday morning? Yeah. Last week.
And we were talking about the defense. I was like, I like Bud Dupree.
And they just looked at me like, Bud's no longer here. In Tennessee, and I had your back.
I was like, listen, guys, this is what happens to us. It takes us a second to just hard reset, but we're here.
We finally have gotten to the point where I need someone to tweet me tomorrow morning. Like, we will have football, or Jake, you figure it out.
How many days, weekends in a row will we have football? You got it. Also, Josh Allen reminded you guys in an interview that Emmanuel Sanders is on the bill.
Yes, that's true that's right yeah you have to remember i do think though that the steelers should have a linebacker that just becomes the name bud dupree it's a great name for steel but we've made it we've made it football is back week zero baby week zero let me just give you the week zero if you want to just think about it all right so nebraska illinois starts it off hawaii at ucla uconn at fresno state. Southern Utah at San Jose State.
Throw out the record books when those two teams play. And then nightcap UTEP at New Mexico State.
I love it. Yeah, I'm going to be watching all of it.
It's going to be great. It's going to be one of those days where you sit down and you're like, I don't know how much football I'm going to watch today.
You're going to put it on and you're going to be on your couch all day because we've missed it so very deeply. Yes, so we've made it.
Preseason week two happened. We're back from grit week.
Great grit week. By the way, if you didn't see, we posted shirts Friday afternoon, probably the worst time to do it.
So please go buy a shirt if you can. It says, what is it, Sauciness Size, Sauciness Crunch.
And it is a shirt that 100% of the net proceeds are going to Ed and Alicia to hopefully get them on the road to getting their own restaurant, Wingnuts, which I'll fully admit it. It's somewhat selfish because I'm hoping that they hit it so big that it just becomes a franchise around the country and whatever city you're in, there's a wing nuts.
I don't know if that would happen. I don't know if Ed would let that happen.
I don't know either. Because he's so hands-on with his wings.
Listen, you're not ashamed to admit that. I'm not ashamed to admit that I told like seven different people the full story of wing nuts this weekend.
Oh, yeah. And just how good the wings were.
I was on DC Radio at noon on Friday and they asked me a question about like, what do you think about Samus Reyes? I know he's out with a concussion, but do you think that he's going to be able to step into that third tight end role? And I was like, let me tell you a little bit about wing nuts in Buffalo. And I went on like a five-minute unprompted diatribe about how great these wings were.
So yes, I do hope that they get their own place. I had people hit me up being like, dude, are they really that good? And I was like, stop everything you're doing.
They're fucking better than that. I went out to dinner last night at a bar that I know has great chicken wings here in town.
And I looked at him and I got like a knot in the pit of my store. I'm like, I can't order these wings.
I actually, the wing nuts ruined chicken wings for me because I can't have another wing. I would actually say like, I'm not a religious religious person i think religion is kind of a crock of shit but i i understand now why people like see the light because that's what wing nuts is to me yeah like you could see me being a crazy person standing outside of madison square garden being like have you absolved your sins and have you eaten at wing nuts dude if churches had wings in them i would go all the time yes so i get it i get it people they just got crackers and wine it's kind of a crock of shit i lose you lose yourself in religion i've lost myself in wing nuts yeah there we're the same oh we're the same people when it comes out to speaking of religion i think billy may have seen the light this weekend oh yeah in the preseason yeah this is a good segue to our preseason week so preseason wrap up for for week two the dress rehearsal we did the math dress rehearsal was the second third and fourth quarter of week two yes so zach wilson got in played pretty well went nine for eleven had a bunch of what two touchdowns two touchdowns around 128 yards i think that may be okay but he looked amazing he was seeing the field he was just picking apart on the packers defense was honestly amazing to see as a Jets fan.
And I shot from the hip and shot out there. I was watching the highlights again today, and I was like, Zach Wilson wins the Super Bowl for the Jets.
I'm going to convert to Mormonism. Okay.
No more beers, Billy. Wow.
Wait, no more caffeine. No, no, you can.
No, no, no, no, no. The thing is, when I said that, I was like, yeah, I'll just convert, but then I forgot about all the strict stuff.
You forgot about the entire religion. I guess technically you could just be a bad Mormon.
Yeah, I'll be a bad Mormon. I'm so down to be a bad Mormon.
Like the kidnapper guy. Yeah, my inboxes got flooded.
Yeah, just kid stuff. You can let Jake jerk it off.
I'm trying to think of Mormon. It's just kid stuff.
Jeez. But yeah, then I got a bunch of DMs from Mormon missionaries, which was kind of hilarious.
Oh, yeah. Well, yeah.
They fucking smelled fresh water. They're like, hey, can we talk to you about the Church of the Latter-day States? Yeah, Billy's a hot lead right now.
I was like, we got to win the Super Bowl first. So basically, Zach Wilson may be on his mission converting people by making them make Super Bowl bets.
There you go. Join the movement.
Billy, you could actually have a church named after if you recruited enough people to get in this same boat with you. Actually, if enough Jet fans join me and they win a Super Bowl, then yeah, we should do a whole pact.
I honestly think that you could could pull jet fans and say would you give up caffeine alcohol sex before marriage if it meant that you got a super bowl title i would and a bunch of wives you could get a bunch of wives yeah we would just be bad mormons i'd open like a bad mormon temple i think you like so let's just imagine if greeny signed up and he'd be like my wives i i I think if you win a Super Bowl, you have to be a good Mormon for a year at least. Yes, you can't.
Otherwise, what is this? How about the rest of February? No, no, no, no, no. This is nothing otherwise.
I would actually convert. Yes, and you have to follow all the rules for one full year.
That is ridiculous. Sorry that you said it.
And if you fucked up, the clock resets. I think you can do caffeine.
Nope. Billy, I'll say this.
If Zach Wilson wins a Super Bowl, so it's over the course of his entire career for the Jets. For the Jets.
Yeah, for the Jets. It has to be for the Jets.
If he wins and you do not follow the Mormon rules, you're fired. You're fired until you complete a year.
Now, you can be on. You can stay on the show.
Now, I'm a Jets fan. In that first year.
Jesus. But if you fuck up, then you're out.
Bro, being Mormon free? Yes. You said it.
You said it. I forgot about what Mormons actually do.
Okay. Well, guess what? You've just been reminded.
All right. So, that's the deal.
Other things. Big Ben looked awesome.
Yes. Big Ben's pump fake is back.
It also made me, I don't know why I started following this guy, but it went back to the writer Ryan Burr. Remember when we read his tweets? He was bumping all his tweets.
Just as a refresher, he said, Ben's camp says biggest concern is weight loss. He has been so driven since season ended.
Sources say his diet is stricter than Brady. And source goes on to say, from an arms standpoint, Ben is more likely to win his first league MVP than finish outside top 10 in passing.
Again, Ben is the source. But, listen, there's signs of Big Ben when he is doing that pump fake that gets the camera to move, and then he throws to Heath Miller for a touchdown.
It's like, okay, the Steelers are back. The Steelers are big time, officially back.
Heath Miller looked great as he's ever been. Looks like he's still 25 years old out there.
It's preseason for the cameramen, too, because I've been noticing a lot of that on play actions. They're getting duked pretty easily.
And if you're a cameraman right now, you have to buckle down because the robot cameras in the end zones that are shooting in 8K are coming for your job. Yes.
So we need to buckle that shit up by week one. I would have this Ben as my number one quarterback in the division.
This Ben that we saw from the last week. Well, let's not forget, by the way, our friend Joe Burrow is coming back.
I feel like we haven't said his name. I haven't

heard his name out there that much.

Joe Burrow, he was... What did we

end up calling him last year? I think he

moved past poise.

I think he ended up being that dude

before he got his knee broken in half.

But I feel like we need to respect

Joe Burrow more. Absolutely.
We also need to respect...

I mean, it is now...

It has become an insane story, the fact that the Baltimore ravens have won 19 preseason games in a row that's just that is actually a a streak that needs to be like acknowledged and also given a ton of credit because they're not like you could just do that by playing all your starters for all the preseason games.

They're obviously not doing that.

They haven't lost a preseason game since 2015.

I'm convinced that somewhere in John Harbaugh's contract,

there's got to be a bonus for winning preseason games because it makes no sense.

I think John Harbaugh has in the back of his head all the time that he's been beaten up by his brother playing sports in the backyard.

So if he has a chance to win at something. Competition.
Yeah. If he has has a chance to compete and when he's going to do it each and every time God take advantage of every chance you have to win, even when the other coach like obviously doesn't care about winning.
Yes, any game. So the question becomes, do we bet on it or because I feel like the second that we know the second we get in on it, it's going to be over.
It's been too late.

I've thought about betting on it last week, this week.

It's too late.

It's too late. You can't get on.

You have to be very early on.

I always go back to whatever.

I think it was UTEP and their streak of they were a bad basketball team.

Look it up for me, Jake.

Was it SMU?

No, it was UTEP basketball.

They covered like 13 games in a row, and I was on it from game four,

And it was one of the greatest feelings to be on that or the blackhawks first period over run a couple years ago you have to be in on it in the within the first i'd say half dozen games to really feel like invested and also be at the point where you're gonna bet it blindly knowing that you've already made your money like if you get to that because like that's really what it comes down to is if you have been betting this ravens preseason thing for a couple years you just keep smashing the bet knowing that you're still going to come out on top yeah but we're too late and if we bet it it will obviously go the Yeah. I don't know.
I feel like I have to get in in the last game.

All right, do it.

I have to try.

Go full seven. I mean, New Jersey's going to have the Barstool Sportsbook, right?

Yes, yes.

I feel like that's got to be my inaugural bet on it.

Is Trace McSorley playing?

I don't know.

No, he's out for the preseason with back injuries.

Oh, okay.

That's not good.

That's tough.

That's really bad.

All right, Mitch Trubisky, who's the guest on this show.

Great interview coming up. He diced the Bears' defense up.
I mean, it just shows. Listen, people are going to probably listen to this interview and be like, why didn't you go harder on Mitch? I've always been pretty consistent with Mitch in that I didn't think he was the guy, but I also thought Nagy deserved a shitload of blame.
And then you see him with a play caller like Brian Dable. And obviously it's preseason, but they were running tempo, and he looked fucking awesome.
He looked honestly like a first-round quarterback. He did.
He looked that good. And I'm convinced that this year he's going to get in a couple times in some blowout games.
He's going to look just as good as he did in this preseason game. Honestly, he doesn't even need to get in anymore.
Just based on what he showed against the Bears today, at the end of this season, there's going to be a team like the Eagles that's going to go out and be like, hey, Mitch might be the guy. He was a first-round pick, remember.
And then they're going to get him, and he's going to be good if he has a good play caller. It's also crazy to look.
Obviously, Justin Fields changed everything, but it's crazy to think that Ryan Pace, there was a moment in time where he said to himself andy dalton present day is better than mitch trubisky present day which is just not true absolutely not it's not true so and and now they're doing the song and dance because matt nagy keeps saying andy dalton starting week one i i get it people are saying well you don't want aaron donald to you know kill justin fields guess what every team's got grown men playing you I mean like if it's gonna happen it's gonna happen right like you got to get him in there I think they're just doing it because they have to figure out a way to make it seem like 10 million dollars to Andy Dalton wasn't a mistake yeah that's part of it I also think part of it is Matt Nagy like told Andy Dalton in the process right you're going to get the starting job next year so I I know that Justin that Justin Fields will be the starter by the end of the year, but when he gets up in front of the media and says, we've got to see what Andy Dalton looks like in the regular season. Yeah.
Why? We've never seen that before. Yeah, why? Never seen it before.
We've seen it in the preseason. They're the knowns, the unknown knowns, and the unknown unknowns, and that's what Andy Dalton is.
Let me just say, I should have said this to start. Andy Dalton, very nice guy.
Very nice guy. Very nice guy.
Also- No offense to Andy. No offense to Andy.
You know what? I had like a little mini Peter King moment this weekend when Justin Fields said like, will everybody please stop chanting my name when Andy Dalton's in the game? It's disrespectful to Andy Dalton. I was like, I fucking love Justin Fields for saying that.
Yes. Like that's a big time old man sports journalist take to be like, this guy's got all the intangibles because he said the right thing in front of a microphone.
Yes. I absolutely fell in that trap.
I'm like, yes, Justin Fields is the truth. He's got it.
Yeah, and 59 on the bill should be in jail. That hit was fucking brutal.
That was bad. Was his helmet not strapped on? It sucks, too, that hit happened after he said the game was slow.
Yeah. After one preseason game.
Can't say that. Can't say that.
That guy was a little bit faster. Can't say that, yeah.
A little faster. I also think that, well, the other big news was Mike Vrabel tested positive for COVID.
Oh. Let me rephrase that.
Mike Vrabel said that he tested positive for COVID. Now, if I was an NFL veteran or a head coach, I would probably say that in week two of the preseason too, just so I didn't have to go to camp for the last couple weeks if I was already cemented in my place.
But he said that he tested positive, and then there were a lot of pictures that came out of him being very close with Tom Brady, who's playing in the week half game, the Thursday night game. And he's elderly.
And he's elderly. And I don't know if TB12 method is friendly to horse dewormer, but I don't know, something to keep an eye on there.
Okay, that is something to keep an eye on. Only other thing I had was, again, this is preseason, so we're not going to freak out about everything, but one team that I kind of forgot about, you know how we always are like, the Texans are really going to play a season? The Falcons are going to be really bad like really really bad You think so? Yes Arthur Smith man Yes No they're going to be really bad Thickless Cage They're going to be really bad So when you have a brand new head coach you can like put your finger in the air and see which way the wind's blowing and you can make some a couple like really big judgments on people that you never really have to answer to long term but i'm ready to say that i think nick sirianni is going to stink as a head coach i think he's going to be because he's already he's trying to do the thing he's he thinks that he's belichick already and he's like oh yeah jalen hurts uh yeah he's uh he's not going to play last second like all my starters and he might jalen hurts might have had like a stomach thing going on yeah but he pulled like a bunch of starters last second without telling anybody now as a gambler i'm upset with that because i was not informed ahead of time correct but you can already see him like trying to play the games he did the whole rock paper scissors thing which seemed like he was outsmarting himself a little bit did you see that stat where they had him side by side belichick and sirianni and it was like nick sirian years old, Bill Belichick, 47th year in the NFL.
Yeah. It's like, Jesus Christ.
Although they do have Flacco, Flacco looks pretty good. Yes, they do have Flacco.
But I'm not ready to say definitively whether or not Arthur Smith's going to be a good head coach. Yeah, no, I don't think they're in a total rebuild, so I'm not going to blame whatever.
I just know that the Falcons are not. Like, think about it.

They were bad last year, and they got rid of their best player.

Yeah.

Julio Jones?

Yeah.

I mean, Calvin Ridley's really good. How many number one picks do they have on offense?

A lot still, because they obviously got Kyle Pitts, who's going to be good.

They've got like nine or ten probably.

I just think they're going to be really bad.

Yeah.

And then, let's see, what else is going on?

Oh, out west, the Chargers. Yes.
They look pretty good. Baby Braun, Derwin James.
That was an all-time tweet from LeBron on Friday. He's just taking everyone.
He was like, anyone with a last name James is now officially in my family. Yeah, he took Justin Fields over.
Derwin James, Kevin James, Rick, bring him on. Rick James, RIP.
I tried looking up the UTEP thing,

and the only thing that came up when I searched UTEP basketball gambling, three UTEP players kicked off team for gambling in 2014. I don't think it was any sure.
I think it was after that. Yeah, I searched spread too.
Against the spread? You really? Yeah. If I search this and I find it? Then I'd man up and say I'm wrong.
You should just search Big Cat's tweets for UTEP.

Yeah.

If you just do Barstow Big Cat UTEP, I'd probably tweet it.

Also, Trey Lance, I think, is going to be the king of the new fun quarterbacks

because he's going to have some shitty, shitty turnovers,

and then he's going to have some awesome throws sprinkled in.

And some great runs.

And some great runs.

He's just going to be fun to watch.

Yes.

Yes.

All right.

Other things.

Other sports.

We have to at least acknowledge Miguel Cabrera, 500th. What do you got, Jake? You tweeted in 2017, 14-0 against the spread.
There we go. Okay, there we go.
It was easy. I mean, there's no chance Big Cat would not have tweeted that.
And they weren't good. Yeah, I was looking for the articles.
Well, you find their record. They weren't good.
That was the best part. They were just a covering machine.
It was a great ride. You get one of those.
It's like Point Break. You're just a 50-year storm.
You just got to get out there and fucking surf it. Go to Bondi Beach, baby.
Just when UTEP basketball starts covering spreads. 15 and 17.
Yeah, they were so bad. But they covered 14 in a row.
That's insane. A 15 and 17 team? 50-year storm.
All right yeah miguel cabrera 500th home run he is so uh the list of guys that have 500 home runs and two and at least two batting titles what is the list how many people two batting titles 500 home runs uh three it's two Ted Williams and Miguel Cabrera.rera that's pretty insane if he gets he's he's like 50 ish hits away from 3 000 hits if he gets 3 000 hits the 500 home run 3 000 hits 300 average club is hank aaron willie mays miguel cabrera that's insane jesus like that's like obviously miguel cabrera has been, so you kind of forget. Uh-huh.
But that's insane company. He also, I went and looked, he's got a fun, like, baseball reference page.
He went 10 straight years of 100 RBIs, 25-plus home runs, and over 300 average. 10 straight years.
It's pretty, we need to respect Miguel Cabrera. Yeah, I know.
Like, it was just, it was one of those weird things. Like, you see him hit his 500 home run.
I feel like he's, the one ding on him is he's been in MLB for so long that he, I think he truly is 100 pounds heavier than he was when he was a rookie. So you're like, oh, he's fat and slow.
But he's also like 19. Yeah, I know.
That's what I'm saying. He was like in the league when he was 18.
Yeah, it's crazy to look at it. But he has been exceptional.
Hall of Famer, obviously. But whenever you say, like, oh, his company is him and Ted Williams or his company is him and Hank Aaron and Willie Mays, that's fucking insane.
So respect Miguel Cabrera. An all-time baseball chin guy.
Yeah. Great chin.
Yeah, and he just, I don't know, he's got a fucking awesome swing. Miguel Cabrera, shout out Miggy.
Good smile, too. Yeah, any Miggy is cool, too.
You know? They just feel like you can party with them. All right, other sports stuff that we got to talk about.
Speaking of 50-year storms, Hurricane Henry's here. Oh, yeah.
Which is a great nickname for Hank. Henry.
Like single Hank, getting messy with it, hitting town in Hoboken. Hurricane Henry's in town.
Getting everyone wet? Yeah. Yeah.
There's fucking puddles, dude. Fucking two feet of standing water at the bar in Hoboken.
You'll get fucked by Andre. Get some, Hank.
I want to see Hank fucking. PFT is obsessed with Hank's sex life.
Not like lit. I don't want to actually see it.
I just want to. I think you do.
I want to be in the presence of the glow.

I think you do.

Yeah. How great was that?

That the fucking Welcome Back New York concert got canceled by the most.

Since they started recording rain accumulation, it was the most rain that's ever happened in an hour in New York City history.

During the Welcome Back New York concert. Billy was walking home in his underwear with his cousin Dale and holding his pants above his head.
I'm actually concerned about you, Billy, because that water is not clean. No.
And you were just going skin on skin. No, the water was so deep and coming down so fast.
It was actually pretty clean. Billy's also built for this because I don't know if you guys saw Billy going through the airport on Thursday but it's stolen valor.
No, it's not. Yeah, it is.
I took a picture. It was kind of a creepy picture because it was when he was at the urinal but I'll post it tomorrow.
If you saw Billy walking through an airport you would absolutely thank him for his service. No, no, no.
No question about it. It's a hiking backpack.
What about your pants, though? Okay. Where's Billy? I don't see Billy.
Camo cargo. Yeah, where are you? Camo cargo, like a tactical backpack.
It is a hiking backpack. He's got military boots and military crocs.
It was grit. And then the shades of a sniper.
It was grit week. I had no idea what we were getting into on Grit Week, so I packed and prepared.
You might have to take out an insurgency? Has anyone ever thanked you for your service? No, because I don't actually. That's such an asshole thing.
No, I don't think you're actively doing it. It's terrible to say that.
It's like sometimes you'll get dressed, and then you'll get to work, and you'll be like, whoa, I'm wearing all blue or something. Whoops.
You got dressed and you're like, whoa, I look like a four-tour Afghanistan fan. So yeah, in that picture I do realize that I was my tactical hiking boots were tied to my hiking backpack with my camo Crocs attached and I was also wearing camo

cargo pants. That was a little too much.

A lot of digital camo. I'll put up a pool tomorrow

if it's Stolen Valor or not. The boots you have

on right now, those are also inching

closer to Stolen Valor. There was

one foot of water outside my...

Yeah. I actually

convinced... I was like...
Liam

was like, oh, are those Yeezy

boots or what happened? Never mind. It was a funny story.
They're not Yeezy boots. I don't remember that happening at all.
We need to get Billy involved in the new search for the Jeopardy! host. Yes.
But you wouldn't be allowed to read any of the clues beforehand. By the way, the cancel culture for Mike Richards? Mike Richards, yeah.
Michael Richards? Yeah, but also, they should have just said, you can't have it because you gave it to yourself right like you're a douchebag for that right it's the it's the dick cheney method of i'm gonna find the best candidate oh wait it's me and actually mike richards might be the least racist of all the candidates because he fired himself yeah that's true he did he said he took he withdrewrew himself. I read the story, and I was ready to get very upset.
Because if there's anyone who's like, hey, don't ding everyone for something they said on a podcast nine years ago, I'm down with that. But then I realized that he hired himself.
I'm like, fuck this guy. Yeah, I think that the only reason people dug into anything else that he said is because everyone hated him to begin with.
Okay, so he should have realized that. Yeah, so you've got a big target on your back.
They should have just said no for that and just left everything else out. Be like, dude, you can't hire yourself for a job that everyone wants.
And you're following. They should have actually let him be the host for like two weeks, then fired him.
Because then it takes the pressure off next next guy exactly you know now it's still the guy that follows up alex for back right it should actually be billy just writing questions right before the show he should get to listen to a joe rogan podcast and then write down all the facts that he learned and then those are the questions on the show and every time somebody picks a category is like jamie pull up uh elk for elk for $400, please. Alright, let's do our

who's back of the week, and then we're going to get to

Mitch Trubisky, then we've got Mount Rushmore Buildings.

CM Punk is back. So back.
Came back in the AEW wrestling on Friday night to an unreal, one of the best pops I've ever heard. That's me.
I'm not really too familiar with wrestling. No, no, no.
I watched it after. An unbelievable video, which apparently is a pop.
Yeah. No, I watched it after on Saturday, and it was incredible.
I will admit that for far too long, I watched Monday Night Raw, or at least kept my eye on it, expecting CM Punk to come back for probably about a year and a half there. So it's good to finally have him back.
I went back and listened to the interview you guys did with him because I kind of of forgot why. Why do people I understand he's a wrestler is a good wrestler, but why do people love him so much? I think because he was like he would not follow rules from Vince.
Yeah, he was like anti events big time. The kind of people's champ kind of thing.
Yeah. Straight edge.
Straight edge. Yes.
Yes. And a cool guy like a cool guy.
He might be Mormon. He also was one of those guys, one of those wrestlers that had a personality as well outside of the ring.
You know what I mean? And he came up in, like, you know, doing different type of... Like, he wasn't like he was just, boom, one day on WWE being a star.
He was a people's champ. He's also, like, technically very good at wrestling.
Yes, oh yeah. Like, he's extremely at it.
Whereas, I've seen this argument a lot of people being like, well, WWE isn't about wrestling. It's about the entertainers.
That's why they don't call them wrestlers. They call them superstars.
The other Vince. Fuck, what's his name? Foster.
No. The guy who basically created the Attitude Era.
It's escaping me. I apologize.

Vince Gill.

I ran out of Vince's.

There's another Vince.

Did you see that Vince McMahon might sell WWE?

No.

Who's going to buy?

I don't know.

Tony?

Big Tone? I think Tony's just trying to take over WWE.

I don't think he wants to buy him.

I think he wants to dominate him. I think he wants to dominate him.

Got it for you.

Yeah.

Russo.

Yes, Vince Russo.

Vince Russo.

Yes, he was the one who basically upped the Attitude Era and the storylines and all that stuff.

Okay, PFT, you're who's back.

Oh, I had another one.

Oh, go ahead.

No, no, no.

It is just who's back.

It is your weekend.

It would make you very happy if you were to say another who's back.

Hurricane Hank.

Nope.

Let's go. Come on, Henry.
No, you have to do it now. I'm not happy.
I'm not happy. All right.
It'll make you happy if I do it now. And I need an alarm where I'm not happy.
Milk is back. Oh, yeah.
The milk crate challenge has just taken over the world by storm this weekend. It's just people trying to climb up milk crates up and then climb back down.
Most people are falling on their backs, falling on their face. I just saw one a few seconds ago where a guy was up on top in the middle, like 10 feet in the air, and two kids just kicked the crate at the bottom.
He fell over. It's the most dangerous viral video stunt that I've seen in a very long time.
It seems like 99% of people that do it end up fracturing at least one vertebrae. It was basically meant for my likes and sensibilities in terms of injuries because I can't get enough of it.
You remember the run your friend over with a golf cart challenge from a few years ago? I also love that, even though it was very bad. It reminds me very much of this milk crate challenge thing.
Don't do that. But send me if you do.
A lot of people just have milk crates laying around, I guess. Yeah.
I didn't know that. Yeah, I thought milk crates were a thing of the past.
Yeah. Are we still drinking milk? I feel like restaurants.
Yeah. I feel like restaurants are still in the milk crate game.
Restaurants for sure. I mean, it's a great thing to have.
Sit on a milk crate. Although they fucking hurt to on can you still see your legs I'm gonna find this video okay is that it Hank? yeah okay well I actually had I'm very happy that you said that I'm really happy even though I had milk as one of my who's backs of the week I'm glad that Hank said it and not me because it made us happy so thank you Hank you're welcome so my other who's back I'm just gonna go my other who's back of the week is Sturgill Simpson.
Dropped an album on Friday. It's awesome.
Some people are like, oh, I don't like it. It's the ballad of Dude and Juanita.
And it's a story. So you have to listen to it in order.
It's like Trapped in the Closet. And it tells, it's a lot like Trapped in the Closet.
Yeah, exactly almost. Illegal.
But yeah, it's really good. If you haven't heard it.
Illegal myself. Listen to to it but skip the fucking song about the dead dog skip the song about sam no how could you you should you just said it's like trapped in the closet you should not be allowed to write a song about a dead dog it's it's i think country i think country ish you can't country adjacent tipper gore fucked up when she put the little sticker on the front of albums for explicit content because somebody said the F word twice but they don't have a sticker if somebody sings about their dog that died.
Isn't there a website that has that where it's like, does this movie have a dead dog? There should be. I'm pretty sure there is because I remember House of Cards started with that dog getting hit by a car and I was like, I'm out.
Yeah, it's such a life hack honestly, just write a song about a dog that died and then people i can everyone you know what maybe the next pup punk out pup punk we should do all songs about dead dogs yeah that would be a real party starter just tear jerkers uh all right my who's back is uh similar it's going to concerts so bubba and i went to dead and company on friday night. Awesome concert.
John Mayer is one of the best guitarists, I don't know, of all time maybe. I don't know.
He's fucking incredible. Really good.
Incredible. They play a little slow, but John Mayer keeps him going.
Also, I learned a good lesson because I was on the fence. I decided to go like two hours before the concert.
It was like, you know, I was away for grit week, kids and everything like want to be around and all that stuff. So they were obviously in bed.
But I went to the concert and I found out that the lesson is being a responsible father is not skipping the concert. It's turning down the mushrooms at the concert.
That was a big like I was very proud of myself because I wanted to do them. But I said no so that I could be up at 7 in the morning the next day and be, you know, an attentive father.
So credit to me for not doing the mushrooms. What about the marijuana cigarettes? That is a different category.
That's just being, that's just, like you said. It's just one song.
No, like you said with Betty the Butcher, it would be, it would be like, I would be a bad party guest. Yes, it would be impolite not to.
People would think I was an art. Well, it's not even just about being a party guest.
You're part of the art. Yeah.
If you think about Dead and Company concerts, I've only gone to see The Dead. I haven't seen Grateful Dead or Dead and Company.
But I have to imagine that the art isn't just the music that's on stage, right? It's the community. It's everybody there is actively participating in the event.
Therefore, it's up to you to make the art as good as possible for those around you. So you had to smoke.
It was funny because I actually said that to Big Ev, our co-worker who was there. He took out a marijuana cigarette and passed it to me.
Reefer. As you do at a Dead & Company concert, I pass it to people next to me.
And I turned to Big Ev and I was like, we may never get that back. Because it just went forever.
The trips, it went around the sun. But that's just what you got to do when you show up to a party.
It can't be the fucking... It'd be like Michael Scott when he smoked the clove.
Smoked the clove at the Alicia Keys concert. One time I was at a Poison concert.
What a great show. And this dude elbows me in the side and I'm like 17 years old.
He elbows me in the side, hands me a joint, and standing to my left, this is just by total happenstance and not playing this out, my social studies teacher was sitting next to me in the seat, and I turned him down. I was like, I can't do it.
And he takes the joint out of my hands because I held it for a second. I passed it right back.
He was like, next time a 53-year-old retired Marine hands you a joint, you fucking smoke it. Do you understand? I was like, sir, yes, sir.
Yes. I can't do it.
And then I later saw my social studies teacher getting blazed out of her mind so i was like i should have hit that joint you're a narc yeah but either way concerts are back dead and company was fucking awesome it was great to be back at a concert bubba you thought so too they fucking shred yeah john mayer's so the the end of the first set was like amazing i texted you about it john mayer's just he's out of this world so also with concerts being back just um just crowds in general have been back and more so fights and

crowds yeah are back again there's there's such a large number of fight videos that have come out

in the last couple weeks i have to think that there's something else going on here well no i

think it's honestly people just have gotten back into it and like they're basically making up for

lost time that's why you see it in pre-season games right now which usually i don't feel like

Thank you. There's something else going on here.
Well, no, I think it's honestly people just have gotten back into it and they're basically making up for lost time. That's why you see it in preseason games right now, which usually I feel like preseason games, more family-friendly, not as much high stakes.
But I think everyone's like, we missed an entire year of bashing each other's skulls in. We have to make up for it so that we can basically reset it so when the regular season starts, we're to zero and again we're we're totally fine with brawls in the stands just no head punches you

should be allowed to just beat the shit out of everybody's body but it's not just pre-season

it's also french soccer the malice at the palace documentary is big yeah i don't know i just feel

like they're they're getting ready to enact fund control policies on us in the stands hank i just

watched that video is It was incredible.

Thank you.

That guy got fucking smoked by the crate.

These are like, this is someone, I feel personally, I want to personally thank whoever created this because.

Oh my God.

It really is.

I could watch these forever.

I actually, Hank sent me the first one.

And my first thing I said to you was, give me more. He was like, just scroll down on the thread.
I was like, no, but I need more than that. Jake, your who's back of the week.
My who's back is sportsmanship. Oh, good, good.
So I think you guys are actually going to be surprised with my take on this. Oh.
The Lily World Series, as we know, know it's going on there's some great things going

can't take that away from the kids and the coaches the high five of the opposing pitcher yeah is over the line and i don't support it yeah it is a lot well the video so the kids this kid gave up a home run maybe 400 feet uh like dead center absolute bomb and they were down like 20 runs already, and the pitcher runs

up to home plate and high fives

the batter as he's running around third. Did you also see Coach K make an appearance? No.
There was the coach. Oh, yes, yes.
The coach. All right, so I actually was watching this game, and it was shocking.
This is good, though. No, it's not.
No, it's not. It's better than the high-fiving of the pitcher.
This coach for the Florida team, the other team throws a no-hitter against them. The kid celebrates his no-hitter.
Before he can even get to his teammates, the opposing coach is walking onto the field shaking his hand. Doesn't let the kid have a moment like a dog pile, whatever it may be.
He's fucking in there. And so I was watching this game.
This coach, I don't... Let me explain it, and you guys can tell me if this is over the line.
So they told the story about this coach. He started coaching Little League when his son was four.
He has been coaching Little League for 30 years. His kids are all grown up.
So he's team of kids but he stuck around after his around after okay his goal in life has been to get to williamsport he was on a vacation or maybe a travel baseball team whatever it may have been a couple years ago they went to williamsport he refused to go in because he said he wanted to get there with his team so he went there on a trip yeah not on and he refused to go in because he said he wanted to get there with his team. So he went there on a trip.
Yeah. Not on.
And he refused to go in because he's like, I want to earn it. Little league coach.
Yeah. I mean, you got to have passion for something.
When they said it, they said it like it was a touching story. And I was like half listening to it in the background.
I was like, wait, what? This guy's treating Williamsport as an adult with no kids on the team like it's the Stanley Cup. Yeah, that guy, it's a little bit of a psycho maneuver right there.
You should honestly, you should not be allowed to coach Little League if your children are not in that age group anymore. Yeah, agreed.
That's not a career. Being a Little League coach is not a job that you have for the rest of your life.
You don't retire from becoming a Little League coach. I think it's either you have a kid who's still about to hit that age.
So if you have, like, multiple kids and one kid, let's say, is, like, 14 and you have a kid that's an 8-year-old, it's like, well, he's going to be here. So you can stick around.
Or you can stick around for, like, a year or two. Maybe if it's, like, a cohesive unit, you love the kids, whatever.
Stick around for the kids after. But they were like, yeah, his son is like 33.
I think that, yeah, it's a good rule of thumb if you don't have a kid in that age bracket. Just coach high school.
You have to have. Just coach high school.
High school is normal. Yes.
You can do like a career as being a high school coach. Right.
Absolutely. a normal thing to do like sixth graders yeah really strange yeah really strange whatever so congrats to that guy i think they got bounced bottom line i think sorry sorry we went sideways but i was like shocked when i heard you know what you would do you would hit a home run and then like after you touched home you'd jog out to the pitcher's mound and high-five the pitcher.
You'd give him the

ball back. And be like, yeah.

I just want to let you know you threw that one really well.

Another try. I hit this one

500 feet and they won in Cooperstown

but I want you to have it because I

wouldn't have been able to hit that home run without you

doing your half of the job too. I love

sportsmanship. I love double sportsmanship

but sportsmanship

after you're getting crossed is too much for me. All right, Billy, you're who's back.
My who's back is the Yankees. They're on a nine-game win streak and getting back into wild-card contention.
They swept the Red Sox the past week, and that was very satisfying while we were on the Grit Week road trip with multiple Red Sox fans. 1-0 in games we've won

starting Friday. 1-0

in games we've won starting Friday. I've watched.

Games I've watched. Okay.

Wait, didn't they lose? Oh, you didn't watch Saturday.

No.

You were locked in.

My other who's back

is Ruff and Rowdy this Friday.

We have an amazing fight card

that I cannot wait to go see a surreal fight.

Pac-Man Jones.

We'll have him on the show on Friday.

He's going to be fighting Bobby Lang.

That's the headliner.

Chef Donnie, another Barstool blogger.

Yes.

Also fighting.

I'm in his fight team.

I'm going to be in his corner for the fight.

Is there.

Okay.

Is there a chance that war mode shows up? Like, what happens if there's a scrum after? I'm going to be checking on the legality of fighting in a boxing ring when you're not... I don't know.
It'll be fine. Have you given him any advice on how to get into war mode? What have you told him? That's a secret for Warriors.
Okay. Shut the fuck up.
Thank you for your service, Billy. I appreciate it.
But, yeah, it's going to be awesome. Can't wait.
Definitely clear your plans for Friday. It's for the open round.
Yes. $25,000 Play Barstool contest.
Oh, hell yeah. People have won the last two.
So it's two for two. That's 50 grand.
Love it. Could be you.
Love it.

just because that stress builds up

and you don't even realize

that you could greatly benefit from talking to someone.

So unload the stress and get it out.

Talk to someone who's completely unbiased about your life, someone who isn't going to judge you or take sides on anything when there are things you can't tell anyone or feel like you can't unload to family and friends. You need to unload it and that's what therapy can be.

So thank you. So if you thought you were going to get a Soprano spoiler in the BetterHelp read, there it was.
BetterHelp.com. It's not really a spoiler.
That's all in the first season. BetterHelp.com.
Here he is, Mitch Trubisky. Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest.
He is quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, former quarterback for the Chicago Bears, formerly my quarterback. It is brought to you by Coors Light.
It is the one and only Mitch Trubisky. Oh, wait, Mitchell.
What's up? Should we do Mitchell? Either one, either one. Mitch, thank you for joining us.
We appreciate it. Thanks for having me.
I'm now, so the entire interview has been thrown off by the fact that you have a bag next to you with something in it. Wait, let's just start with grit.
This is how bad you've thrown me off. Let's start with grit.
What does grit mean to you? And then we got to get to get to the bag grit means just the ability to overcome any obstacle no matter what um you just you like

hard circumstances because you know it's just going to make you stronger and you can overcome

them and uh the grittier the better right yeah absolutely all right now let's talk about the

bag so you threw everything off so uh you played in maybe the best football game of the entire

maybe ever the the nickelodeon wild card game did you get a chance to go and watch the broadcast of it after the fact? I saw some highlights, and it was really cool. I should probably go back and watch the whole thing.
But, yeah, I brought something with me today. So let's do it.
Let's just do it. Seriously, I was going to bring it up like the last thing I was going to bring up with this, but the fact that you have this, it he's mitch is taking out the nvp award oh my god holy shit so what's actually a beautiful it is really is it the nick value some days i'm like i don't i i'm not sure how i got it i think i have you guys to thank for a lot of yeah i'm like if the people wanted me to have it mostly us so that's's why it's my position.
Walk us through that because obviously the game sucked.

Bears lose.

Who first told you that you won the MVP?

They just told me.

I was like, oh, cool.

Is there a trophy or something?

I was like, it was tough because it was emotional.

The season just ended.

We lost the game.

It was a rough game, honestly.

They were like, you won something. I thought they were just messing with me.
I was like, what? And MVP sounds like MVP. I was like, there's no way.
You can't win an MVP with a game like that. And, no, the MVP, the Nickelodeon valuable person, I guess.
And I was like, how do I qualify for that? I was like, I don't know. They voted for you.
I was like, all right, well, thank you, I guess. And then a couple months later, this shows up to my door.
I'm like, wow, this is a pretty dope trophy. I'm going to put it up on the mantle and it's just cool.
So everyone who voted, thank you. I appreciate it.
You're probably the first and only person to win that trophy. They might at least retire the online voting portion.
It's one of one. Well, if there's online voting, we'll get you another one.
Just somehow, if there's a write-in vote. You don't have to be playing in the game.
You don't have to be playing in the game. We will get you another one.
I appreciate it. We will absolutely do it.
I appreciate that you like the trophy, and it is cool. I think we've got to get a replica made.
We have a replica so we might have to have someone like mold it is it bad luck to touch it like the stanley cup no it's good luck look at that actually uh doubles as a kaleidoscope oh nobody knows oh that's fun that's so fun look man they keep it fun in the collodion you can brain somebody it's pretty sick yeah let's see yeah we're gonna a replica made. So we'll have to borrow it at some point just to get the replica made.
Of course. But this is incredible.
Wow. And it says right here, NFL wild card game, January 10, 2021, MVP Mitch Trubisky.
Oh, my God. Wow.
So out of games like you might want to forget, I'll never forget that one. Yeah.
No, I mean, you have an life um all right so let's talk buffalo so you're here yeah you love the city i love it love it you have a best wing spot yet uh i go to barbills okay barbills is the wing spot but i heard you guys went to a great wing spot last night and i'm like i'm not i'm not picky i'm also like if there's a good wing spot i'm gonna try. Yes.
They're everywhere. Love chicken wings.
The floor is very high for buffalo wings. So you can go anywhere, and they're going to be good.
They're going to be better than anywhere else you've been, correct? So basically, you're at a point now where you're just comparing buffalo wings against buffalo wings because they're the best around. Yes.
Do you miss the deep dish pizza? I do. I miss it a little bit.
I miss it a little bit i miss it a little bit maybe get a little little bit this weekend um yeah yeah so not too much you got a big time revenge game um it's on your birthday right my birthday is tomorrow the day it'll be the day after day after i'm gonna count that as birthday week birthday weekend just celebrate yeah i've been celebrating the whole week so so you're taking on your former team pretty much on your birthday you're gonna going to be playing the, I guess, the lion's share of the game. Is there any good reason why I shouldn't bet my entire mortgage on the Buffalo Bills this weekend? We're going to air this after, by the way.
We're going to air this on Monday, so you can say anything you want. Is there, there's betting on preseason games? Yeah.
Oh yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
I guess, I guess go ahead. Like, why not? Let's go for it.
I mean, it all seems to be building up for a pretty fun Saturday. I mean, birthday weekend, playing your former team.
We're just going to go out there, sling it around, have some fun. So I'm looking forward to it.
What's the after the game? Anyone you're not going to talk to on the other sideline? No, anybody who wants to come up and talk, I'm willing to go up and catch up.

So there's a lot of guys that I'm super close with.

Some guys I consider like brothers and family to me.

A couple were just in my wedding and came to my wedding and coaches that I'm still pretty close with.

So whoever wants to talk, just talk it up after the game

and see how everyone's doing.

So it would be cool to see a lot of people.

I like that.

So I got to ask a couple of difficult questions.

Not difficult questions, but harder questions. So obviously things didn't go great in chicago uh did you like was there a point did you ever pay attention to the media and because i always thought like you it was a combo of things didn't go great but you also got a bad rap sometimes too and a lot more was put on your plate than probably was fair yeah I think that's the reality of the quarter position quarterback position sometimes like when you win you're going to get a lot of credit when you lose you're going to get a lot of blame and there were just some games that people felt that we were losing because me and I got a lot of the blame so it just goes down that way sometimes and that's not always not the case I think there's always a bigger story on or underneath that a lot of people the outside don't know about, but I try not to pay attention to that.
I try to block it out as much as I could. And during that last year, it was pretty tough getting benched and then having to come back and then was able to come back in and then help my team make the playoffs.
So I'm proud of that. But all the other negative stuff, you just really just got to block out or else you're just going to go down a dark hole because with the social media and everything else these days, there's just so much of that negativity out there.
And once you see something of it, you're just going to keep going down that road until it's too much. You just got to block it out and try to focus on your job because there's so much to do.
I had one other really difficult one. This one's difficult for both of us.
Double doink. I really thought the Bears, like like that team was good enough to make a run to the super bowl I truly believe that people people don't give you credit for you know driving the team back down into field goal range there at the end of the game because of the result uh afterwards like what was there tears I mean I'd hope there were tears maybe breaking some stuff i was doing all that i didn't cry there was no tears i think just because i was so in shock i couldn't believe it because uh if you remember that year it was just like we're in a bunch of close games but just the team we had and how we overcome stuff like it didn't matter what happened throughout the game it was like we knew we were gonna win and that's kind of how that game felt like it was close going back and forth all the way and then we drove down and we're kicking a field goal and i was like there's no way this is not gonna go in oh i knew it and then it didn't yeah and then it didn't yeah um you should have known and then i was just in shock yeah was it tipped it was no it wasn't it was it was it i think chris long said it was tipped yeah they're just trying to save cody parky it's fine Badass Eagles.
Look at those. Fly, it wasn't.
It was. It was tipped.
I think Chris Long said it was tipped. Yeah, they're just trying to save Cody Parkey.

It's fine.

Badass Eagles.

Whatever.

Look at those.

Fly, fly.

That sucked, man.

So I'm formerly your quarterback, though?

I can't still be your quarterback?

Yeah, no, you're still my quarterback in my heart.

I could be on the roster, right?

Actually, you're right.

You're right, because Jay Cutler's still kind of my quarterback.

Yeah, so you still are my quarterback.

That's good.

I just didn't want Justin, who's a huge listener to the show, to be like, what the hell did he just say? You know? So you're my quarterback that's good i just didn't want justin who's a huge listener to the show to like be like what the hell did he just say you know so you're you're my quarterback yes justin's also my quarterback any dalton nice guy not my quarterback maybe uh maybe we can talk about like a little bit better memory from while you're in chicago uh one of the one of the greatest plays we actually had i think it was luke wilson on the show talking about the uh last play of the super of the Super Bowl and how he saw important plays from people who were there at the time.

November 29, 2020, against the Packers, David Montgomery, the run.

What was that like?

The run.

The run.

He scored?

No.

It was like a 60-yard run?

Didn't score.

It was like 58.

58.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Like right up the middle.
Second play of the game? Very physical. Yeah, it might have been It was like a 60-yard run? Didn't score.
It was like 58. 58.
Oh, yeah, yeah.

Like right up the middle?

Second play of the game?

Very physical.

Yeah, it might have been second play of the game.

The run.

Amazing run.

You could almost hear the NFL films music playing as you were watching it in real time.

Yeah.

What was, from your perspective?

I thought I heard some guy in the stands humming the music, actually.

Yeah.

Steve Sable was looking down from heaven like, holy shit, this run.

After you gave him the ball, were you like, there's no chance he's gonna run the ball for 58 yards this is impossible yeah just hand it off and i mean those are the best plays as a quarterback you just hand it off and you're like oh he's still going he's still going he's like oh i'm just watching him and playing the rest of the game after witnessing history it was amazing yeah i would have broken down in tears just from the beauty of it now I have, in all seriousness, I've given you a lot of credit in the past because I think that you are, like, one of the best handoff quarterbacks. Like, really, you have a very quick step.
You extend the arm. There's an art to handing the ball off, isn't there? You can be bad at handing the ball off, right? If you have to be bad or good at handing off the ball, I would like to be good at it, I guess.
Yeah. Yeah.
I guess there's an art. Do I make it look good? Some would say maybe.
Yes. So we do practice that a lot.
Yeah. You just got to have good handoffs.
Yeah. Good exchanges.
That's what it's all about. When you're on the sidelines and you're throwing the ball back and forth, getting your arm loosened up, are you a guy that has somebody who catches the ball for you and then hands you the ball? I like to catch it for myself, but then somebody who comes up, you're not going to tell them not to catch it for you.
So if they want to volunteer themselves to catch for me, that's fine. But I like to get the hands going.
Yeah, I like that. Do you still own the Toyota Camry? It's done?'s it's done it's no longer ryan pace bought it off you no it's no longer running we had to what was it were you like hey dude chill out like it's just a car because he just loved that car he loved that car more than you loved that car loved it i mean it got me from point a to point b and that's what you want that's true i mean uh gonna definitely gonna miss that car yeah it's it's no longer with us that car changed history yeah it did yeah we're gonna get back to mitch real quick before we do i want to talk about our great friends over at mac weldon they've got a daily wear system you're a busy guy so stop thinking about what to wear embrace the radically efficient mac weldon daily wear system it's a selection of clothes rooted in smart design made with performance fabrics and built to work together from breathable t-shirts and polos to stylish button ups and shorts, underwear and beyond.

Give me a strengths and weaknesses breakdown from like a scouting perspective on Caleb Presley, our co-worker. As a quarterback, what's good? What are the things that he needs to improve on? His golf game or his quarterback play? Quarterback and golf.
Yeah, maybe both. His pros, confidence, mindset, morale, grit.
Got to throw in grit. Probably one of the grittiest guys I know on the grit chart.
Cons doesn't take criticism well. Doesn't take criticism well.
He's not going to take that criticism well. Handoffs, he's not good at handoffs.
Yeah. Wants to sling at every play.
Yep. Run plays, not for him.
Yep. And probably one of the best victory quarterbacks of all time so at the end of the game you bring cp in he's gonna get the job done yeah that's true yeah uh do you believe the 86 the 86 he's shot an 86 i believe i'm gonna believe it i'm a caleb guy so i believe it but there are people who don't i believe it.
Okay. I believe the 86, 100%.
You're a truther? No, there are people out there who are saying maybe the 86 wasn't real. I believe it, 100%.
Absolutely, he shot an 86. So he's sub-90s now, which is huge.
He's sub-90s. He had a camera following him around, though.
Right. Are we saying like kicked the ball a couple times? The last time he did a video and he was like,'s like a lot of people cheat in golf that's what you're watching right now i'm cheating like when he shot like a 99 ah so i think he kind of opened the door for himself that's a mistake how do you rank him as a friend oh top two not two whoa yeah 100 there's gonna be some people who are angry about that i don like how you say it.
That's why they compete. They got to compete for the top spot.
Your breakdown of Caleb is pretty much strengths, confidence, weaknesses, ability. I didn't say that.
I didn't say that. That's kind of what it boils down to a little bit.
That's perfect. But we love Caleb.
He's a great guy. I hope he's got his shoes off right now.
Yeah. All right.
I shot you a true serum, okay? And you have to tell me the God's honest truth. Was there ever a moment – I'm not going to do – I'm not going to say, hey, can we bash Matt Nagy together.
I'm not going to do that. I shot you a true serum, and I was like, is there ever a moment where you're like, hey, Mahomes and Watson, just chill out a little bit.
Just a little. With the questions? Just being awesome.
No, just like chill out with all the touchdown passes like was there ever a moment where you're like can you not Mahomes for a minute uh I don't think I was like can you not I was like I was just like damn like yeah that's what you want to be doing yeah yeah that's what you want to be doing that's part of it's like Mahomes is probably going to be the best quarterback of all time. And that's like you don't get to pick where you're drafted.
For sure you don't. And Mahomes then just decides like, hey, I'm going to be the best of all time.
Oh, cool. Just runs up the score every week.
Yeah, by that logic, every other team should have traded up and picked him, right? That's true. You just never know.
That's true. Good point.
Great point. Great point.
Were you actually surprised on draft day? Yeah, very surprised. I had no idea Chicago was going to draft me.
They traded up. We had one secret meeting in Chapel Hill, which is the only time I met with them before.
So I had no idea they were even interested because they didn't even say. And then they forgot to call me on draft night.
And so when they traded up to the number two spot, we were looking around the draft room we're like oh it's nobody's phone rang nobody in here is getting picked and then roger goodell says my name and i was like oh okay here we go that's how you found out that's how i found out yeah that's how john fox found out too yeah yeah yeah that's gotta be that almost has to be surreal like seeing your your name on TV. It was very exciting.

Yeah, it was very exciting.

It was crazy.

Yeah.

Very unexpected.

Very unexpected.

So huge surprise.

It was a great time.

Great night with my family.

I bet.

Celebrating that.

CP was there?

He was, yeah.

Yeah.

The secret meeting.

How does a secret meeting get arranged?

Basically, they come to Chapel Hill. They work you out, and then you have a dinner with coaches,

and you just don't let the media know about it. They're like, don't tell anybody.
Ryan Pace has to wash your car. Yeah.
Okay, let me see that tailpipe. Yeah.
Let me see the Camry now. How much of going to UNC was decided on the colors? Because I just assume they have the best colors in all sports.
They do.'ve always assumed that i don't know conservatively

speaking 30 of all students at unc at a given time chose unc simply because the colors are that awesome 100 were you in that boat were you like i was probably like 58 colors yep 32 percent campus. Yep.

And then the other percentage

football and

academics. I love it.
Honestly, they're that good. If I were Mack Brown, I'd be like, hey, see these colors? Everybody knows Carolina blue.
Yeah, you want to wear this color for the rest of your life? Come here. That would be my entire recruiting pitch.
It's not just the colors. It's the argyle, too.
Yes. The argyle pattern is sweet.
It's amazing. Do you still have a lot of stuff that's Carolina blue? You know how Jordan used to wear his UNC shorts underneath his game shorts? Yeah, I got some UNC shorts I wear to bed.
Yeah. If I went to UNC, I would never wear a different color.
It's amazing. Yeah.
It's the best color ever. Damn.
So Big Cat asked at first, like Mitch Mitchell, was there um like you you wanted to make a statement after you were drafted that please call me mitchell because when that came out it sounded like it was coming directly from you and i was like well if he wants me to call mitchell i'm just gonna call him mitch that's fine yeah like i can't be told what to do uh but so that that was never something that came out of like your camp no it was so the whole thing was Somebody thing was somebody found out that while I was just telling people like, dude, I keep getting the question like, is it Mitch or Mitchell? I was like, I don't care. And they were like, OK, what's your family call you? I was like, my family members, they call me Mitchell.
My mom, dad, brother, sister, they call me Mitchell. But like my friends, buddies, like they'll call me Mitch, like reporters, media, Mitch.
It really doesn't matter.

And then the question is just getting dragged on and out,

and it's just like, what do you prefer?

And it's like, I don't have a preference.

It doesn't matter.

Yeah.

Okay, yeah, because that became a story in its own right.

I think that just speaks to how pathetic we are as journalists,

where we're like, this guy wants to be called what his parents call him.

What the fuck?

How dare he? And then we ran with that for like a week. He's making name demands now? He can't do this? All right, so other draft night question.
So congratulations, by the way. You just got married.
So I won't ask about currently. But at any point in your life, did you love to kiss titties? Oh, man.
You had to was gonna come eventually right i had to ask it who tweeted that it was one of your friends yeah one of my buddies off uh he uh he's in the white socks organization right now we were in a basketball tournament uh so i'm from menner ohio in cleveland we go to tennessee every year to play a basketball tournament, the Arby's Classic just ate so much Arby's probably haven't had it since oh my gosh so you know you're in the hotel with your buddies and you're just messing up messing around on each other's phones or what not and then 8 years later I found out that it was like that we played purposely. Somebody was just waiting on that one.
They were like, oh, this guy gets drafted. This is going to be a good one.
And then it just sends off. But there's worse ones outside.
In all things considered, it was like the perfect thing to be like, hey, look at what Mitch tweeted. I love to kiss titties.
When he was like 14 years old. I actually gained a lot of fans from that.
So it was like positive in a way. Yeah, we're sex positive podcast.
There you go. Like kissing titties yeah when he was like 14 i actually gained a lot of fans from that so it's like positive yeah we're sex positive podcast there you go like yeah kissing titties is the most like innocuously innocent thing that you can tweet yeah who doesn't literally everybody like not even licking titties that's that's actually like rated r yeah that's like you go to a strip club oh we're gonna lick some titties yeah no but you just kiss you just say hi like like a kiss on the cheek in europe see those titties they kiss titties all the time as a greeting in greece yes that's true disrespectful thing it would be culturally inappropriate to not

kiss the titties when you go to greece that's a fact um all right i got one last question this

Great interview with Mitch Trubisky again. Rem reminder, Ryan Fitzpatrick coming up on Wednesday.
It was great seeing the MVP in person. Now, I'll just say it.
I thought he was going to gift it to us. Yeah, well, he handed it to us.
So did I. I really did.
I don't know if he thinks that we desperately want it. I wanted it.
Yeah, wanted it i lust for it i was very excited to be holding it and uh then we took a picture with it and so when we took the picture i i still had it in my hands but he was standing in between us so i was like better let him hold it and then we can all touch it in the picture and then he just put it right back in his bag so if someone has a sick 3D printer and wants to do the boys a solid and make us some replica

MVPs, we would absolutely display them in the studio.

Or if you're friends with Mitch and let's say you've known him for a long time and are

very close with him, maybe played with him in college.

Top two, not two.

Top two.

And you just want to let him know that we would like the MVP trophy.

Yeah.

It's really our... I think he wants it.
I don't know. Would you want it? I want it.
No, I'm saying if you were Mitch, would you want it? I don't know. I think it...
I mean... You know what? The Nickelodeon blimp is iconic.
We can't take it from him. As the rightful...
Well, we could. The rightful owners of the trophy would say, we're glad that it's in it's in a safe home with mitch yeah but that really just means that we want the fucking trophy yeah no i was very excited i mean you heard in the interview it fucking threw me off when he he showed me in the duffel bag right before we sat down and i was just a blabbermouth for the first like you know minute and a half there i couldn't figure out what i was do.
The blimp has a kaleidoscope in it. I just wanted to say,

I want it,

I want it.

Give me the trophy.

Give me the trophy.

All right.

Mount Rushmore of buildings.

Mount Rushmore of buildings.

PFT and Billy were very excited for this one.

I expect,

I don't know where I'm going to go with this.

I just thought it was a nice open-ended one.

Yeah.

All right. So how are we going to,

we do numbers to decide who goes first?

Drafts order?

17.

Give me an 8.

Billy?

69.

69?

I'll do 75.

Oh, 75 already got taken.

Oh, fuck.

Whoops. 3.
All right. All right.
75 already got taken Oh fuck Whoops Three Alright Alright PFT what do you want the order to get Alright so I'll go first And then Big Cat so it'll go this way With Hank wrapping around at the end of it Alright Now the last time we did Mount Rushmore I think it was Billy you just did it right There right? There was no collaboration? No. No, Jake had the pool.
Okay. That was a week ago.
Yeah, that was a week ago. He did three on the road.
He's still high from Benny the Butcher. Is this a hubba collaboration too? Who cares? They always are.
Alright. try to figure it out.
All right.

So right off the bat.

It's always Team Hubba.

Okay.

First overall.

Is this a collaboration with you guys?

Is there something we need to know?

Why are you asking all these questions? No, I'm very confused.

I spent way too much time thinking about what is a building.

I'm sketched out.

You're sketched out?

I'm sketched out.

Okay, 1-1. I'm going to go with Willis Tower overall.
I don't know where that is. The Sears Tower in Chicago.
It was the tallest building in the world for a long time. It's still the tallest in my head.
They changed it. They sold it.
It's stupid. Because Sears died.
Sick building. Sounds like a cop-ass building.
It is a sick building. It's an awesome building.
It's got great views. Yeah.
You can stand in the ledge over top. Oh, that's when you stand at the scary, like you look down at your feet and everyone takes that picture.
Terrifying. Yep.
Yep. All right.
I'll go with the Superdome. Superdome.
Silverdome. Remember when we were there? Silverdome is sick.
I'll go with the Superdome. It's super.
It houses great football games, great memories, and also saved a lot of people's lives in Katrina, right? At the WWE event when Undertaker lost, Hulk Hogan was like, thank you, the Silverdome! And it was one of the times where everyone in the crowd was all, at the same time, was like, ugh. You messed that up.
That Silverdome is sick. It doesn't stand anymore.
But I sometimes, there was some sick pictures of people going into the abandoned Silverdome. Go look it up.
You know what else? Spend all day looking at them. The Astrodome had some good pictures, too, of weeds growing through it.
Okay, your guys pick? The Bass Pro Shops Pyramid. Fuck you.
Do you know where it is? I knew you guys had something. Memphis.
We stopped there on our trip line. There was no hype.
I gave three suggestions for what Mount Rushmore and Billy said buildings. You guys had buildings last week, too.
You're like, we should do buildings. No, we haven't been planning.
I have not been hyping buildings whatsoever. We've been hovering it.
Okay, good pick. Great pick.
The Pro Shop Pyramids is incredible. I'm going to go with the real pyramids.
Yeah. Pyramids of Giza.
I think those count. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, like, the greatest structural engineering ever done. Probably done by aliens.
And then this one's for you, PFT, since you want to know how my fuck game is going.

I'll give you the building I want to fuck the most,

and that would be Allegiant Stadium.

Okay, all right.

Serves free beer.

Yeah, yeah.

Serves free beer, just super sexy stadium.

Now that I'm single,

if I could really just stick it in anything,

it'd be the Allegiant.

It's got the flame in there, the Al Davis flame.

That's my new bit.

All right, Jake. We're going to go with the Roman coliseum okay a lot of history though okay um some fucked up history though i mean same thing with the pyramids yeah i guess i'll go with oh yeah i'll go with the white house no those aliens dude give me the white house white house the.
All right. Well, I mean, it's no surprise that two of my choices got taken right there.
So I'm going to go with Sydney Opera House. The clamshell design.
It's iconic. I think you have to say the iconic Sydney Opera House.
Yep. For my next one, I'm going to go with the Mecca.
Madison Square Garden. Okay.
The Mecca. Okay.
I have one all-time pander pick, but I'm not going to do it. Do it.
Can I say it, but I'm not going to do it? No. Someone else could do it.
What? Do it. Just do it.
Pander. No, no, no.
Well, actually, I have two pander picks. All right.
Send them. Should I pick one or two?

Pick one.

Well, you can't pick two.

No, no.

I'm saying pick one.

I have them listed, one or two.

Two.

It's the Barstool Milton office where this company-

I don't know that that pandering works for this whole-

That's fine.

It's where everything-

That place was a shithole.

It was such a bad place.

Was it the only office inside that building, or did you share it with people? It was an old dentist's office, right? Yeah, there was other... It was like a complex or whatever, so it wasn't...
We didn't have to share the actual building with people, but there was like another business right next door. Multiple businesses.
A lot of history there. Birth of this company, pretty much, as we know it.

So, yeah.

Barstool, Milton Office. Yeah.
I don't really... People always talk fondly about those memories.
I just... No, I mean, you...
I had it perfect because... I had to go in there every day, and it was like, this place is a shithole.
I had it perfect because I probably only went in there, like, ten times total in my life, so I didn't have to actually live in there like you did. So I had the perfect detachment, which I think most fans do.
Right. They have

all but good memories of that. Right.

Yeah.

The other pander would have been even more pandering.

All right.

Billy, Jake. HQ2?

I don't know. No.

We were going to take the capital

but it's not too good nowadays.

I bet you were.

We're not taking the Capitol.

Billy wearing his camouflage gear.

We're not picking the Capitol.

Thinking about taking the Capitol.

We're not picking the Capitol.

We're not.

Where were you on January 6th?

I was in this office watching it on TV with you guys.

Oh, that's convenient.

We are not picking the Capitol, but we are taking You already did. The Graf House where the Declaration of Independence was written.
It's not going to end up well on the graphic because no one knows. That's where our country started.
I picked where Barstool was started. Yeah, but this country started Barstool.
Meh. Boom.
Leaning Tower Pizza. Okay, nice.
Please put it as pizza. Dope-ass building.
Is that how it's spelled? Yeah. And then your net worth.
Building your net worth. It's great.
It's my favorite building. Mine too.
Nice Nice. A little Gary V shit there.
Yeah. Love it.
Think about your mom getting murdered every morning. That's how I start my day, and I'm very happy.
Kill anything that you love in life. Kill it all.
That's why build a house when you can build your net worth. All right.
Last. You guys, you know that this is a podcast, Alright Do you want to do Who picked Graf The thing is I thought that the original name of it Was Liberty Hall Why didn't you just say that None of us would have corrected you We all would have been like cool At worst that's a beer hall.
Let's write it down as Liberty Hall on the pole. No, no, no.
You picked the graph. I know it sucks.
Fuck. How do you even spell that? G-R-A-F-F.
Sounds like a kind of shitty bar in New York. Yeah.
Yes. Empire State Building.
Okay. Oh.
Billy. Billy.
Wow. What was that? We literally had a talk to stay away from that.
Everyone who's right. Billy.
Billy. Wow!

What was that?

We literally had to talk to stay away from that. Everyone who's anti-Odaniacs will vote for you now.

Or no, everyone who is an Odaniacs.

Billy just dragged me into the mud.

Yeah.

You got killed.

Is the stadium a building?

This is what I took forever.

Yeah, that was so uncalled for, Billy.

I'll take Wrigley Field for my last one. I literally spent...
Was that the other pander? No, the other pander... Well, go ahead.
You go with your last one. I was going to take the Segal Center.
Okay. Where VCU plays.
Yeah. More life altering than a trip to Europe.
No, the ultimate pander was going to be the Knights of Columbus in Buffalo. Okay, all right.
Which is a sick building. They have fucking 10 bowling lanes and a full court basketball.
But I thought that would be like such a... Like, the Milton office has actual meaning.
Yeah. That would have been a, hey, you know, flavor of the day kind of thing.
Still buy a shirt, though, please. Things we missed.
The Burj Khalifa? That wasn't that bad. No.
I can't believe no one took the Taj Mahal. taj mahal i kind of wanted to but i also like why is it so cool because the taj mahal is is basically the biggest self bonk in the history of the world yeah it was built by a horny king shah jahan and he built it because he wanted to fuck his wife so bad okay she wouldn't fuck him anymore so he's like what if i just make this big building for you it worked i assume i assume.
I mean, how long did it take to build, though? Like, way too long. She died, so he didn't get laid.
I think it ended up being her, like, death or burial thing, too. Yeah, it became like a tomb.
Putin's palace, it's like $1.3 billion. Bill.
Sorry, I misspoke there. Billion dollars.
The Hoosiers gym. Oh, that's a great building.
Stonehenge. Playboy Mansion.
Michael Jordan's house that he still can't sell. It's fucking sick.
Washington Monument. Washington Monument.
Pretty good building. Oh, Patty's Pub.
Yep, that's a good one. I didn't know if we could do fictional, but I wrote that down.
The Northside Tavern in Atlanta, Georgia. Oh, great one.
Great building. Hogwarts.
Hogwarts, another fictional one. Death Star.
Death Star. Well, RIP.
It's a ship. Yeah.
Too soon. Spoiler.
Spoiler. I haven't even seen the movie.
I just know that it blows up at the end. All right.
I think that went well. I was, again, I'm so dumb.
I think also I get like... By Sunday afternoon, especially in a hurricane,

I've been dad-brained so hard that when we're like buildings,

I just sat at my kitchen table being like,

is that a building?

Like, is the Eiffel Tower a building?

The Space Needle.

I think that counts as building.

I don't think that the Eiffel Tower counts.

Yeah, I couldn't... There's an apartment on the top of it.
Is there? Is that where that French guy lives? Yeah. The guy who created the tower has an apartment on the top there.
No, you're thinking about Quasimodo and Notre Dame. No, no, there's an apartment at the top of the thing.
Notre Dame could have been on that list too. Yeah, it was the boys that burnt down.
Notre Dame. Notre Dame, PFT made that joke

and everyone tried to cancel it. Yeah.
Turns out

I was right. Nobody died.
Just a bunch of old

French artwork got singed. Yeah, just billions

of dollars worth of history.

Oh no, history.

The graph building.

What does that fucking thing

look like? The graph building.

Honestly, the Declaration of Independence is

overrated. We said at that point, hey, we're're independent but we weren't even independent until we won the war yeah we used the graph building i'm looking i think it actually might be liberty hall oh no you can't change that tiger stadium graph tiger stadium death valley yes that was big board every time i thought you you were actually gonna say Detroit Tiger Stadium too was an all timer with the fucking upper deck up against the wall the old all time the old Miami Marlins stadium where they had the sculptures that's what I should it's outside now it's outside yeah I love looking at old Yankee stadium I love looking at old stadiums.
Old Yankee Stadium. I love looking at old stadiums.
It's a passion of mine. Watching people borderline die jumping on milk crates in old stadiums.
Just give me that, and I'm a happy, happy man. Fenway Park would have been a good one, too.
Yep. I don't want to go too crazy with stadiums.
Yeah. What other stadiums would even be?

Rose Bowl?

Fenway.

Rose Bowl.

Shit.

I actually meant to write down Rose Bowl.

You should have Mount Rose Bowl stadiums.

The Orlando Airport.

The tallest building in the world in Dubai.

Oh, yeah.

The Burj Khalifa.

The Burj Khalifa.

Yeah.

That's the tallest.

Yeah.

But again, when I hear tallest building in the world, I'm still like, oh, no, that's

the Sears Tower.

Yeah.

Always will be.

They should just build a series of taller and taller antennas on the top of the Sears Tower. That'd be cool.
Yeah. Just, actually, no.
Milk crates. Yeah.
Just a shitload of milk crates. Dare you.
Let people jump on them. Uh-huh.
All right, numbers. Ryan Fitzpatrick on Wednesday.
Great interview coming up. 77.
99. 55.
18. 18.
Oh, wait, wait, wait. By by the way you find milk crates at the back of um supermarkets you're making this up right now no that's where they all are nine we forgot about oh recap shit my bad recap fuck i do it on mondays i'm sorry good job no worries i actually love billy's recap billy's been a fucking hoss when it comes to blogging everyone give billy a handshake in the chat oh yeah actually i haven't done that a long time i mean honestly i love the handshake i haven't i haven't been doing my job i haven't been giving out handshakes yeah i used to can i just say too that i love the handshake because i love whenever like the young guys do something that i can figure out the meaning of very quickly.
That's really the bar for me. Actually, Billy now prefers that you just salute him.
Oh, yeah. In the chat.
No, no. Yeah, just send him gifts.
If you have any medals. The picture of that guy that's crying at his computer saluting.
I'm not trying to steal that. If you have any purple hearts lying around, you want to pin him on him, please do so.
Yeah, tag him and Chaps in the same tweet. I love the truth.
Say thank you guys. Whoever responds first is the real Marine.
Anyway, no, the milk crates are literally at the back of every Walmart and stop and shop, and they're right by the loading bay if you're looking for them. Good to know.
Usually we're hanging out. That's got to be on the Mount Rushmore places to smoke a cigarette, though.
Yes, absolutely. Like out behind a grocery store next to you.
Oh, Like out behind a grocery store. Yeah, you want to do that on Wednesday? Yeah, we could do that.
Also, someone hit up Mount Rushmore rom-coms, which I think would be good as well. We've got a couple more weeks.
Fun fact, Nathan Peterman has started every snap for the Raiders this preseason. That is fun.
I kind of spin-zone myself into thinking because Nathan Peterman had such a bad game that couple times, that when he plays, he's not scared of doing that, and he might actually be good one day. Can't get any worse.
Yeah. What about, so they're not giving Marcus Mariota any snaps at all? I think he might be hurting.
He's hurting. Also, Sam Ellinger had a bad stat line, but if you actually watch every single play, it's actually, it wasn't his fault.
Two tips for interceptions, and I'll be breaking it down. We've got to get you the All-22 this year, Billy.
Speaking of watch the tape, we've got to get Pete Prisco a Hall of Fame vote. No, that's what...
Will Brinson hit me up, too. Except I don't think he was talking about getting him a Hall of Fame vote.
I think he was talking about getting Pete Prisco into the Hall of Fame as a contributor to the game. Okay, that might be too far.
I mean, I'm down to explore it. We'll try.
We can try. But I think we have actually a better...
Dan Heron's going to get in the Hall of Fame before Pete Prisco. Maybe.
And I'm talking football Hall of Fame. But we can...
Maybe we can play up the whole... There's very few Italians in the Hall of Fame.
And it's past time that we've made up for the discrimination. Well, he's got to stop stumping for Tony Buscelli then.
Yeah. And also, Pete, I'm going to say pervert.
Maybe. He's definitely a pervert.
Maybe we get Pete Prisco like Inspector Gadget when Tony Buscelli finally does get in. He's got a trench coat.
We just hide Pete Prisco in there. I think Pete might have a Hall of Fame vote.
Does he? I don't know. So then vote for yourself, Pete.
I'm going to text Pete and see. I don't know if he does.
But, okay, if he does not have a Hall of Fame vote, we should get him one. Yeah.
And if he has a Hall of Fame vote, we should try to get him into the Hall of Fame.

Yes.

All right.

What else on the recap?

That's it.

All right.

Numbers?

Since we didn't get it right, you want to just go again?

78.

99.

99.

This spin does not count towards official totals.

Yes, it does.

Yes, it does.

Okay.

All right.

Officially sanctioned spin.

Double.

Oh, 69 was just up there.

Both count.

Thank you. It does.
Yes, it does. Okay, all right.
Officially sanctioned spin. Double.
Oh, 69 was just up there. Both count.
By the way, 87. Oh, my God.
What did you guess? I have 78. I have to right some wrongs.
Turns out it's not buffalo. It's not buffaloes in North America.
It's bison. I should have known that.
Bison. Bison.
Also, unfortunately, elephants do not look at humans like humans are going to love. What? Billy, this is worse than Sturgill writing a song about a dead dog.
What the fuck, Billy? I know, dude. I've been thinking about that all weekend, and it makes me smile every time I think that an elephant wants to boot me.
Yeah. All right, 79.
All right, 99. Are you done? Yes.
All 8 55 This counts 18 6-9

So how do they look at humans?

Turns out the study wasn't conclusive

No way

Dude yeah I got a bunch of

19

A bunch of elephant hardos

Messaging me

Like elephant psychologists

Saying like I know the study you were looking at

It's wrong

You have a list of studies

I've said this before

Whatever

Arborist. Any arborists? Yeah, this is bullshit.
Shockingly, most of the arborists that hit me up were like, you're right, our job is that we show up. And then we laugh when the owner walks away from the tree and we're like, yeah, this tree is one of the worst trees I've ever seen.
Keep it on the hush. But yeah, I respect the hustle for all the arbors out there.
Keep grinding. Elephants go crazy when they go into musk.
Love you guys. 80.
99. 18.
By the way, this Friday is the one-year anniversary of the machine. Oh, wow.
We did like 20. Okay.
6-9. Oh, I just saw 8 come.
8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 88-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8- Three Stooges Theory. That's all the winners.
