But he had a fantastic weekend of just cell phoning. Well, he went into the locker room today, Big Cat, and he knew that they were destined for real estate.
Yes, yes, yes, after getting swept by the Phillies. All right, we also have, yeah, Who's Back of the Week and Mount Rushmore of things we would buy for $20.

Today is Monday, August 9th, and boys, we did it. We shocked the world.
USA basketball back on top. Suck it, universe.
Suck it, every country that's not the United States. Love it.
This is, was JaVale McGee the first mother-son combination of gold medal winners? It was, yes. That's a fact.
Because his mom is still alive. Yes, his mom is still alive.
A great performance. They did shock the world.
We all doubted them. If you think Hank's telling you to adjust your mic because it's pointing to your chest.

At my nipples.

That was right at your chest.

My eyes are up here.

Listen, I think we all had a fun weekend.

I can say that for once.

So we're all, you know.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Listen.

I feel like you guys right now.

I'm hungover as fuck.

If you're looking for the most mentally sharp edition of part of my take,

this probably isn't going to be it.

We'll save that for like a Wednesday during football season.

But listen, Big Cat, sometimes you've got to let it out.

You've got to let some of that energy out.

Yeah, I'm letting it out.

Really the point of hangovers is to remind you why you don't get hungover.

Right, exactly.

You've got to check in occasionally.

Why just like getting some sleep.

Oh, wow, and now they're showing Messi crying on stage.

It's been a tough weekend.

That's tough.

What?

Who's back?

No, you're just watching tv well i was when the goat is on tv crying at a press conference like two days because barco won't fucking pay for him i thought that was that clip from ted lasso no that was from today roy was bawling out while he's eating out his wife that was from Did that happen? God damn it. Can't spoil it like that.
We just started. It's not a spoiler.
Ted Lasso is our therapy, dude. They're just dating.
Yeah. You don't have to go to a therapist.
Just watch Ted Lasso. It'll make you feel better.
That's actually true, though. Yeah, but also not true.
It's not true, but also... How many people are going to continue to be depressed because they'll be like, I ran out of Ted Lasso.
No, that's Jason Sudeikis, dude. It'sso dude it's basically ted lasso yeah that's right it's true so what's happening with ted lasso right now is like what we saw happen with avatar when it came out when people got so obsessed with the visuals yes and they got happened then they got depressed people were super depressed that they weren't living in the avatar world yeah and so now people are like oh shit ted lasso doesn't really exist yeah i better just pretend that uh jason sudekis is actually coach Ted Pesto.
Yeah, and so now people are like, oh, shit, Ted Lasso doesn't really exist. I better just pretend that Jason Sudeikis is actually Coach Ted Lasso.
Yeah, I do. I'm just going to say right now, I mean, BetterHelp does sponsor this podcast.
So don't use Ted Lasso as your only means of therapist if you're not okay. That was our quick moment.
I was talking soccer. Yeah, I was talking soccer.
And Messi is fucked up that they wouldn't pay him half, what 50 percent he wanted so he's playing like 60 mil who's running wait ready for this who's running barcelona tom ricketts yeah so now he's playing with mbappe and neymar yeah it's a super team it's gonna be sick well he already was playing with neymar a few years ago but how sick would it be if there was a super league and you got to see psg play against Barcelona twice a year? They should look into doing that. All right, so back to USA basketball.
Little detour there. USA basketball, I love that Draymond just went.
This is Kevin Durant and Draymond Green just dunking on people after the game, and then everyone's like, oh, why do you care so much you just won gold? No, it was awesome. It was awesome theater.
He went Kevin Durant went live just laughing at everyone being like, oh, the world's taking over the game. Like you can't our skills are unmatched.
And then Draymond Green went and just started quote tweeting all the old tweets about how they had like they were going to lose. And France is taking over.
Kendrick Perkins and Draymond got into a what was it? What did they get into? What was the phrase they were using? Oh, carry the hell on off. They were just carry the hell on and off to each other.
Yeah, I mean, that's Kendrick Perkins' favorite thing to say and just toss in the word damn occasionally. Carry the hell on.
But yeah, Kevin Durant just seemed like he was going to take over the game. There's no answer to Kevin Durant.
Unless you can like like you have to like get started right now engineering a player that would be able to defend kevin durant in 18 years time maybe that that french kid that we've seen clips of where he's like seven feet tall yes and he can dribble and shoot if kevin durant plays to the same age as like tom brady and stays around for all maybe that kid will be able to defend him but as of right now it's like no there's nothing you can do. And at the start of the game, I was a little bit nervous in the first quarter because Rudy Gobert, turns out, is very good at basketball and dunking on people.
Well, and also the dumbest rule in all sports and international basketball that you can steal the ball off the rim. I love that rule.
It's so stupid. So I don't like, actually, I don't like the rule.
Off free throws? I don't like the rule, but I love it when Draymond gets to do it. Yes.
Because he looks like he's on a little vacation from the rule book for him. It's crazy.
Where it looks like it's so illegal, but when Draymond does it, you can tell how much fun he has just getting away with stuff. Yes.
It's crazy. Did you DM KD? No, I haven't.
Should I? It's a good game. I feel like this is, yeah.
Yeah, good game. All right, I will.
I'll hit him up. I'll say good game.
He's feeling good about himself. Yeah, you're right.
Good game. Good game.
A little good game. Also, shout out LeBron, who went a perfect 11 for 11 from the field, scoring 26 points in 14 minutes versus Uruguay.
Oh, wait. Second round.
Oh, that was 2007 FIBA tournament. Second round.
LeBron just happened to quote tweet that like 12 hours after the USA won gold just to kind of muddy the water. That was the funniest thing.
That's what I was thinking when I was watching the gold medal match. Like when Kevin Durant put the gold medal around his neck, I was like, you know he'd trade that in a heartbeat to go 11 for 11, score 26 points against Uruguay in the second round of the FIBA America's tournament in 2007.
The king. There's only one king, truly.
I think that that's one of the greatest accomplishments in all of sports. We have to remember that.
Where were you? You know what we should do? We should make that like the Tony Delk graphic, except for LeBron James with his stat line from that tournament. Yeah.
And just put that on a quote card for him. I'm going to put that right now.
I'm going to say it. That's the second greatest thing that I've ever watched've ever watched number one obviously being Patrick Mahomes in completion in the Super Bowl that's it yeah the two greatest performances of all time I also appreciated this was just like one of those things where you saw them on the bus afterwards it's one of those things that it's cool to see that being in the back of the bus is cool no matter how old you always great point Draymond Green they're the they're the alphas they have seniority like you get the back of the bus, and you know that everyone, I don't know.
Who else? Did you have any of the seats? Dame, Tatum. Where is Zach Levine sitting? Because now I'm going to base the entire Bulls future up.
You couldn't even see him. So trade him right now.
He had a couple tough looks in this game. It wasn't Zach Levine's finest show.
That's okay. He had his best winning streak of his professional career.
He won four games in a row? Five games in a row. Five games in a row.
He's never done that before. Zach Levine is on fire right now.
Yes. But yeah, again, I want to shout out JaVale McGee because now he's a three-time NBA champion and Olympic gold medal.
Yes. And in my opinion, the greatest American athlete.
And Draymond is a Hall of Famer now. He has everything.
Well, I know that he doesn't have the numbers numbers, but he's been a part of... And basketball Hall of Fame's a joke.

Yeah, basketball Hall of Fame is a joke.

But two Final Fours with three titles?

Yeah.

No.

Yes, three titles, two gold medals, Defensive Player of the Year.

I don't know.

When you look at his resume, you're like, whoa.

He actually has done a shitload.

In the NBA.

Right.

It doesn't matter.

And he should have had four. We saw how important he was when he was suspended yeah i'm accounting actually and so that if he doesn't get picked on by the referees he was the mvp of that team yeah the most maybe not the best player but the most important yes yes absolutely um all right so the olympics are done uh we look to paris wait in three years are they actually, or is it that thing where they do the closing ceremonies and then it's day plus three after the ceremony is over? A kayaker is out there just trying to finish a race.
The race walking event still hasn't finished. So I think I've actually changed my tune on race walking after watching so many different clips of it because it is the funniest-looking sport to do.
By far. But it's six miles per per what is it they do a six minute mile yeah and they carry that on for like 50 kilometers four hours yes and the dude that is the best in the world at it he in his last race he was just shitting himself yes during the race it's crazy putting a wet sponge down his ass crack ringing up his diarrhea and then just throwing it into the stands and then after he crossed the finish line his body just gave up yeah his muscles just froze it's actually the most metal sport yeah it's you go into lactic lactic uh what is it what's it called billy lactic recovery or something lactic acid lactic acid i actually had that this weekend i played one game of spike ball and i went into lactic shock.
So I'm basically an Olympian. I know exactly what that means.
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it a little bit more, the fact that you can be actively shitting yourself and still the best in the world at the sport at the same time is kind of an argument against it not being a sport. Well, Secretariat probably could do that.
While he's running? Greatest athlete of all time. You think that Secretariat would shit while he ran?

Probably if he needed to.

I don't think so.

If he had to, he would have.

It was business time.

Lighter load to carry.

You shit right before the race.

All right.

So that same guy in the race walking thing that had the diarrhea issue,

the first thing that he did during the race, he was like ready to go.

And he race walked his goofy little ass right to a port-a-potty on the track as they were going i don't know i don't know if this is like a commonplace thing i think it is or just for this guy no i think it is i think a lot of them do that pretty much the entire race um we had the hall of fame that was cool the speeches are always great charles woodson closed the night which you're like oh wait peyton manning is definitely the premier hall of famer in this group. But then you heard Charles Woodson talk like, OK, now I get it because it was a great speech.
I'm trying to think of, oh, it's always funny watching the bus get revealed. Like Peyton Manning's face is so angry in it.
I don't know if that's what you'd want to like immortalize yourself. I think he wants to look tough in the Hall of Fame.
Also, they didn't have enough of the bronze to make the entire forehead.

They gave him a very generous forehead.

A generous forehead.

Calvin Johnson looked like he was very focused in his bust,

and he talked to us about that, like he was trying to hold a focused face

while he was having the thing cut out for him.

I thought that Peyton Manning's speech points us in one direction,

one direction only, and that is that he wants to follow

in the footsteps of his dad and become commissioner

of the NFL

so that when Arch

gets to the league, he can

implement some weird draft rule where

it's like, okay, new rule that we're all following.

My relatives

don't have to get drafted by the Chargers.

They can go directly to the Giants.

Yes, go to a large market and play for my hand-selected coach. I also think he could maybe be takeover for John Elway in Denver in like 45 years when John Elway finally gets fired.
Well, so him and Eli are doing that thing on ESPN, the simulcast for Monday Night Football. I also think, and I think Florio had this take too, that Cooper is going to get involved at some point.
Oh will he's the fun one that will lead cooper into being in the booth for the next like 40 years yeah you're not going to be able to turn on a television in america and not have a manning staring at you yeah you when you when you talk about that's a great test of personality like do you want the sassy fun one who like go out and take his top off at a bar that's cooper he. He's got a great personality.
Right. Exactly.
The serious

one's Peyton. The goofy one is

Eli. I like to

have a little fun. Cooper.

Also, we don't shout out Olivia

enough. Shout out Olivia for birthing

those players. Yep.
And John

Fox sitting in front of her looking cool as ever.

Ready to hand it off

and punt. Alright, so

what else? Oh, the Mets. So let's talk about the Mets real quick.
The Mets are fully imploding. They got swept by the Phillies, and that's not like, if you're looking at the history of the Mets, that's not something new.
But Steve Cohen, their owner, has decided to tweet about the Mets during this implosion,

and it's not working out well because he actually said going into the weekend,

how about a little positive energy for this weekend?

I'm feeling the offense is going to get it going.

They scored five runs in three games, got shut out on Sunday.

I actually am on Steve Cohen's side because he is just a regular fan who's like i know my team has a lot of problems but maybe they'll get hot yeah who knows also he steve must have been lost when he decided to send that tweet because like you don't go on twitter.com and be like hey guys let's try to have some positivity on this website it's never going to work that it's actually like when they told the crowd at woodstock, hey, can you guys stop tearing up the fences? You're just going to make people do it more. Absolutely.
And then he said on Sunday, after losing the first two, I just visited the players in the clubhouse. They are ready in a good frame of mind for this game.
They then got shut out 3-0. It's crazy how when your boss comes into a room, everyone will act like they're excited in a good frame of mind oh shit yeah we're really pumped to be here steve so um i just like that we have now we we need more owners tweeting their teams like ups and downs i would just needs to happen more often i actually i think it probably does happen but they have burners yeah i would bet that most most nfl owners have a burner account of some sort yep all right maybe they have like a shithead son that runs it for it.
Steven Jones definitely runs Jerry's burner. He just dictates them.
It would be a very bad. I mean, they just get ratioed all the time.
Like if Tom Ricketts started tweeting right now after, and I'll say it because the Cubs got swept as well. So Mets fans would be like, dude, the Cubs suck.
I know they do. But yeah, it would be fun to just roast owners all the time.
I bet you that Jerry Jones, he'll be watching a game, and he has Steven Jones tweet, like, who should be cut, even though it is technically Jerry. He's like, they didn't cut that son of a bitch, Ezekiel Elliott.
Ooh, nice. Give me some more.
That guy paid too much money and can't run the football. You need to grab that thing and run like Hank.
The joint's hot, Mike, too. That was the best part from Saturday.
I don't know if you saw this clip on Saturday night. It was one of the events.
I did not. There was a hot mic as the broadcast was ending.
All the Hall of Fame people were dapping each other up, and you just heard a hot mic be like, let's go smoke a joint in the parking lot. Yeah, that was Calvin.
It might have been Cower. Oh! Watch the video.
Maybe you can decipher. I think that Cower would call it reefer yeah or or wacky tobacco grass yeah you want to burn some grass we'll put the clip in right here okay you decide people who that might have been i like that though um we get we do have to say a quick word about bobby bowden past all-time football guy yes all-timetime football guy.
Coach Bowden. Coach Bowden.
I was reading a story. He said that he's always in his entire life lived next to a football field.
So, like, that's an all-time football guy thing to say. He also, like, because enough time has passed, I don't think people realize just how incredible.
There's very few programs where, like, there's one guy who you can point to is program exists because of that guy. Florida State wasn't Florida State before Bobby Bowden got there.
He got there in 1976. His only losing season at Florida State from 1976 to 2009 was 1976, going 5-6.
And for 14 straight years, they won 10 games games or more never finished ranked outside of the top five and in those 14 season they won 11 bowl games in two national titles like that's imagine having a 14 year stretch obviously now you can because of saban but 14 year stretch where you don't ever win less than 10 games and uh they had 15 consecutive new year's day, and they won 11 consecutive bowl games for a stretch there. Like, just crazy, crazy shit.
One of the greatest college coaches of all time. And also just, like, one of the best characters.
Like, if we were doing this show in the 90s, Bobby Bowden would be a central, like, talking point. Yes.
Because he's just, he's's like that's what he – the glasses and the hats and everything. So I think we need to talk about him as a coach obviously, but as a father, the fact that he was able to raise Jimmy and Terry Bowden and have both of them survive to adulthood with their brains is a testament to his ability keeping hold of them.
The Bowden Bowl too. I mean he coached against his sons.
I think he finished 5-4 against his sons all-time, which is pretty fucking cool. Yeah, got to let him beat you once or twice.
Yeah, so just a shout-out to an all-time football guy, Bobby Bowden. What else do we got? What else from this weekend? I embrace debate real quick.
Given everything that we know right now, would you want to change lives with O.J. Simpson? so OJ wow his career arc Big Cat, I think one thing we don't discuss enough with OJ is his complicated arc his complicated arc and the all time quote in a bad way from his so the athletic I think is doing top 100 football players of all time.
And 41 was OJ Simpson. So, they interviewed him.
And he said, I have trouble with LA. People may think this is self-serving, but I might be sitting next to whoever did it.
I really don't know who did this. Wow.
So, OJ Simpson. It's got to be tough.
Anytime you go into a restaurant in LA, you could be next to the killer or in the killer's body. Especially if there's a mirror in that bathroom.
Right, exactly. Damn, that's got to be tough.
Yeah, every time you go up to the front and say what your reservation is under, you might be saying the killer's name, OJ. Listen, I'm not here to say that OJ Simpson did commit the murder that that he was acquitted of i think that that's for a jury of his peers and the lord to figure out but um i do know that he was acquitted but if i'm taking him at his word saying i will spend the rest of my life trying to find the real killer yes wouldn't you then want to live in a town where you could potentially be next to the real killer at any given moment yeah fine it seems like that To me, it seems like that's the first thing you would do.
He also had the quote, I figured eventually somebody would confess to something, you know? Yeah. Yeah, OJ.
Yeah, we do know. We know.
We do know. I've been thinking that same thing.
You don't. We do.
For, what, 26 years? Yeah. You almost did when you sold the If I Did It book.
Well, no, that was i did it if my arc wasn't so complicated yeah god damn what a what a out of left field interview that that like didn't think we'd hear from him probably ever again but there he is well he's he manages to come up with crazier quotes about the crime over and over and over again when he says that like i don't want to live move to la because i might be next to the person that did it for a second i was like that's so stupid that i actually believe him yeah maybe i think he's one person innocent now he's just you i imagine oj's going to nobu and just like walking up to random people be like let me look in your eyes real quick all right no you're good you're clean you're good yeah i don't see i don't see a killer in there um anything else from this weekend uh one other thing with the olympics yeah so the sprinter was lamont jacobs yeah from italy yep and the italian team won the 4x100 relay as well uh i think it's a great story what's happened to him as he's improved his 100 meter dash time by almost a full second in the last calendar year. Just incredible stuff.
That is incredible. A testament to his hard work.
His trainer, a bodybuilder, by the name of Giacomo Spazzini, fancy fuckboy football legend, he's being investigated in a steroid deal. No! No, I'm not saying that Lamont did anything incorrectly, but I am saying that his nutritionist is being investigated by, I think, the Naples police.
Yeah. That would have been great if Peyton had done that in his Hall of Fame speech, but my beautiful wife, who had a steroid addiction, she overcame that.
You're looking great. You look younger every day.
It's incredible. Man, that sucks about the italian you can't have good stories in sports anymore well i shows up and runs faster than he's ever run in his entire life can't we just believe that in wrestling what the last second win oh yeah gable stevenson who's a uh barstool athlete who we're gonna try to get on the show win for the big 10 uh but that was incredible i didn't really understand wrestling, so I didn't know what was going on, but you could just feel.
The other guy was just trying to run out the clock. But I didn't know what he did that was worth two points.
Oh, so you got his back. You squeeze him.
If you squeeze him hard enough, you get points. You can get their back.
It's all about the squeeze. And so he was doing head and shoulders fakes.
He was actually one of those athletes that terrifies me, given how large he is, how quickly he can move. It was incredible.
And the backflip, fucking legend. And the name Gable.
Gable's cool. What a great...
Did Vince McMahon name him? Because that's a great name. If he just wanted to be Gable, the wrestler in the WWE, you don't have to change your name.
No, he's the next Kurt Angle, I think. Yeah, Gable.
Gable boom we're gonna try to get him on the show maybe Wednesday I do say though with the Italian sprinter I think he did kind of get away with it any way you slice it because the Olympics are over if you get busted during the Olympics yes then it becomes okay this guy cheated this investigation is going to take like a year probably and then a year from now we're not going to care do Do you have to give the gold back? Those Instagram pictures will last forever. Exactly.
The moment is there. You just can't.
And it will be, in retrospect, hilarious to be like, you remember that six months that we thought the slow guy from Italy was the world's fastest man? Yeah. Well, and yeah, he didn't look fast.
That was the thing. the eye test, he did not look like the fastest man.

Mid one second's not that much in sprinting.

No.

Mid one second's not.

No.

Like 10% faster.

Here's how fast his improvement was.

Now, now.

There it is.

So that's like nothing.

That's negligible, folks.

Leave him alone.

Billy, do you think he did it?

He had some interesting variation. Talking about actually do OJ first and then do...
Oh, no. So it was his son.
Oh, okay. All right, cool.
So if he goes to dinner with his son. Yeah.
Okay. His son was recorded attempting to stab someone.
Where does the place he worked? Yeah. Open and shut case.
It was recorded? Yeah, it was recorded. Like on an album? Attempting to stab someone? Yeah.
He had like a run-in with the police at his work. And he was like, I was about to stab that guy? Yeah, he worked in the kitchen.
It's like in a report. Where is it? Yeah, I know, but you said it was recorded.
This is one of Billy's original. Yeah, that's true.
I've read some stuff about his son. Yeah, I mean, OJ did a great job distracting everybody about his son.
Okay, so great father. Father of the year.
Honestly, when you think of it that way, it's kind of like, whoa. What? I think it's still a murderer was covered up.
I mean, but now you think of OJ not as this murderer, but this father of a son. Like the guy that got the most railroaded person.
Just a domestic abuser, run-of-the-mill guy. His seed was so bad that it raised a murderer.
I think that would probably be worse. I think the domestic abuse, too, in the household probably was bad, too.
Right, right. No, he's a terrible guy.
You kind of had him in a good light there. No, but he's like, he did...
He took, like, you know, to defend his son. Yeah, Billy's making a great point.
Audrey Simpson is one of the most honorable American athletes. No, if you had a son, and like, I don know, it's just a crazy story.
So I'll just say it right now. If my son ever kills, murders two people, I will turn him in.
Oh, okay. But what if those two people were going to grow up to be evil dictators? Then I won't.
That was easy. Yeah.
Next brain buster. No, but Billy, it's like, I officially denounce OJ Simpson.
Okay, there we go. All right, nice, nice.
All right, what about the Italian guy? Did he do it? Yeah, 100%. No, if you look at his Instagram...
OJ, wishy-washy, Italian sprinter, definitely. If you look at his Instagram photos from him like two years ago, he's like rail thin.
And then if you look at him now, he's like kind of jacked. Oh, also in the news over the weekend, I think we just got rich, boys.

Why?

Oh, yes.

Josh Allen.

Josh Allen got paid.

Yes.

We'll have to go back and check the tape, but I think that he said he'd give us 10% of his

second contract.

And guess what?

Grit Week is coming up, so Grit Week is next week, and there's a pretty good chance we'll

be seeing Josh in person.

So, yeah.

If I was Josh Allen, I would add into the contract, I also want to guarantee that the Buffalo Bills won't move to Austin. Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, we could get, we could, wait, but we need to still get the money. Yeah, still get the money, but, like, at least ask for that.
Yeah, no, I'm expecting when we see Josh in a week and a half that he will just have a bunch of cash for us. Yeah, he'll be wearing a coat made out of cash.
If he wants to go to a jeweler and get a bunch of nice chains and just give them to us, that would work too. Well, I said that we're pretty generous guys, and we're forgiving guys.
I don't expect Josh Allen to write us a check for $15 million. Oh, cash.
Just a cash. Yeah, I don't expect a check from him.
Cash would be fine. Also, if he just wants to do a $50,000 shopping spree for the boys while we're in Buffalo.
I think we could negotiate down to that. We would settle for that.
We'd live in Buffalo then? Yeah, what would we get for $50,000? Take us a while. You would buy me the entire Mad Dog factory.
Oh, man. I think we could probably buy Duff's.
I think there's a couple locations. Franchise it out? Yeah, or just rent it out for ourselves for a month and a half.
Just have a party, yeah. Turn Duff's into a Dave & Buster's.

My who's back is LeAngelo Ball. Okay.
Devil works hard. LeVar Ball works harder.
LeAngelo Ball is back in Summer League for the Hornets. Love it.
16 points. Love it.
Five three-pointers made. Making a lot of noise.
People saying he could be a rotation guy off the bench. As a little preview for our Mount Rushmore, which we're going to do after Guy Fieri, it's the Mount Rushmore things you buy for $20 or less.
I went and looked up the current price of big baller shoes. They're still very expensive.
Oh, really? I thought they would be nothing now. That's great.
Also, I have a small issue with the summer league. Anytime somebody says summer league, I always imagine that it's a month or two months long because it has the word league in it.
Right. It should just be like two weeks.
They should just call it summer week. Yeah.
It's two weeks. It's long enough.
Yeah. It's fun.
You get excited. It's kind of like the training camp when everyone just keeps, I think, Warren Sharp, who we consider him a friend, but that was one of the weirdest tweets ever, where he was like, Trevor Lawrence is the best first overall pick since when? It's like, well, can we wait until he? Yeah, but that's nuts.
That throw is sick. No, the throw is sick.
You're not doing the tweets. He still has to play at least one snap.
I don't know. I watched that like five times.
Now, to be fair, Justin Fields also had a great throw. He did, but I'm waiting.
I'm waiting. I want to see him play.
The Aaron Rodgers throw into the net, that was CGI. Aaron Rodgers.
Are you playing basketball, dude? Pick a sport. It was CGI.
It's cool. You can throw into a net.
There was nothing more realistic about that throw than Tom Brady throwing footballs into the Juggs machine. Dumb.
Whatever. Which we never talked about, but that was clearly the fakest thing of all time.
No, it wasn't. The Juggs one? Wait, no.
The moon one was fake, right? The Juggs one? When he blew up the moon? The Juggs one blew my mind. That one was real.
Yeah. No, I know you guys are trolling, but there was a lot of people.
He has a visual effects guy that he clearly does these fake ones. This one was a little bit less fake, but there was a lot of people.
A lot of people. Sweet.
That were like, this is real. So when he blew up the moon, that's fake.
That's fake. Okay.
Are you sure? Pause. I saw the moon yesterday.
Okay. The Juggs machine, real.
Fake. Fake.
Got it. And the one when he threw it to himself, like he threw it and then caught it and then threw it and caught it real fake ah so which ones are real what was it the powerade commercials those were real those are all real threw a ball out of the stadium the fantasy files commercial where chris cooley like punched a hole through the door yeah yeah football yeah yeah okay all right we got that cleared up appreciate that, your who's back? My who's back of the week is Ed Sheeran.
Ed Sheeran's back. He's going to be playing opening night for the NFL.
It's actually mostly not about Ed Sheeran being back. It's about Roger Goodell just not knowing what is football.
Yeah. Roger Goodell needs a guy that hangs out with him that's like, hey, that's not football.
Yeah. And if you say the name Ed Sheeran, his football or not guy, it needs to be like, Ed Sheeran is not football.
Not opening night football. Like Creed? Yeah.
Football. Football.
Herm Edwards. Nickelback? Yeah.
Football. Herm Edwards crying? Football.
Football. Dick Vermeule crying? Football.
Coldplay? Not football. Yep.
He just needs somebody to tell him that. Coldplay's pretty fucking good, though.
But they're not football. Yeah, but if you play that song that we played when A-Rod and J-Lo took a break, which they're still on, I think, just a break, and you have it be Trevor Lawrence's spiral, that's football.
You'd cry. I don't think it.
You'd cry. Okay.
When you try your best and you can succeed. That is football if it's a, yeah.
Yeah, it's like a guy fumbling. That's football.
If it's in slow motion. Yeah.
But for the most part, there's no situation where you're playing Coldplay where Imagine Dragons wouldn't be a gigantic upgrade. I agree, but I'm just saying that specific song, if you did it right to the right highlights, you'd be like, this is...
Yeah, Coldplay's got a lot. I love Coldplay.
Imagine Dragons is way more football than Coldplay. Coldplay's another one of those bands that everyone on the internet decided sucks.
I don't think they suck. They're not football.
I would not put them in my top 10 football bands. You could make it football.
You could make it football. Yeah, you can make it football.
Yeah. You can dress it up.
Yeah. I don't want to be that guy because I'm never going to defend the shield.
Roger Goodell's a piece of shit. But it does make sense for them to try and obviously football fans are going to be tuned into football.
It makes sense to have someone that maybe non-football fans are fans of so that they also watch. They can put an opera on it and we would watch the football.
You're right, Hank. Hank just took us to marketing school.
I still don't think that's football. Yes, he did.
He took us to marketing school. Ed Sheeran's outfit.
You are absolutely right. Selena Gomez doing it is not for us.
We're watching football. Really? I'm still going to be mad about it.
Okay. Damn it.
I kind of roasted Ed Sheeran. Every time Ed Sheeran's in the news, Florio takes a shot at me because he thinks I look like Ed Sheeran.
What? And he asked me if we've ever been in the same room together. And I do have an Ed Sheeran story.
I know if I've told it on many times on this podcast yes I have yeah peeing next to him yeah peed next to him yeah went to the bathroom next to him at Sirius he couldn't pee while I was peeing and he was shorter than me yeah and I dominated him at the urinal urinally and mentally and physically and then I lapped him in the bathroom and I left and he just had to finish squirting I was tiny little ginger piss after i was already in the bathroom because he couldn't look me in the eyes while he did it yeah just so i never told that story before i mean i like the story that's why i remember it's i mean if you're going to have an ed sheeran story that's a pretty good one to have yes yes um what oh you don't think it's a good story yeah i love it yeah do you have a better way Hank, tell us your best Ed Sheeran story. My best Ed Sheeran story is the 15th time you told that Ed Sheeran story.
I used to think his name was Ed Sheeran, and that's one of the ones people get really mad at. Yeah, I still do.
Every time I say it, people get heated. I think it's Sheeran, ever since I dominated him at that year-old.
Yes, it is. That's his first name now.
Alright, my Who's Back of the Week is canceling Joe Rogan. I was on a bachelor party this weekend, so I was in and out of service.
Shout out just having friends and seeing your friends in a long time. It's like the best feeling ever.
It just is. Just getting with the guys, having some fun.
But I looked online, and I was like, Joe Rogan was trending, which happens probably once a month.

And it dawned on me that it is the dumbest thing ever that they try to cancel Joe Rogan every other month.

And then a bunch of people just tweet out Joe Rogan clips that probably just make new Joe Rogan fans.

It's the cell phone of the century.

I don't ever listen to the Joe Rogan podcast, not because I have anything against him, but because I just don't have time to.

Oh, I was going to say I don't listen to it because we just have billy tell us

yeah billy is and pretend it's his thoughts joe brogan yeah he's like the distilled version of

all the best parts of joe rogan's brain but when i when you see people talk about like oh joe rogan

needs to be canceled for this thing that he said then i will go and i will actively seek out that

clip and listen to it they just post clips of his show and mark it for him to be like, these are the blue checkmark brigade gets all riled up. A lot of people probably don't like the blue checkmark brigade.
They're like, hey, Joe Rogan is toxic. Oh, what? Okay, let me go figure out what he said.
Oh, this is interesting. He's smoking weed with Elon Musk.
Why do people think that Joe Rogan is the voice of America these days? I don't know. He's a good interviewer.
He's a talented podcast host. He's got a platform.
He's got a platform. But Joe Rogan literally has not changed anything that he's been doing over the course of his career.
Maybe he takes slightly more designer drugs than he used to take. Richer people drugs.
Richer drugs. He does richer drugs and pays less in state state taxes now but that's about the only thing that's changed with joe rogan so it's like yeah you you know what you're getting with joe rogan like don't expect him to be the world's best diplomat yeah and i just i had that moment of clarity where i was like i was i had been drinking for three days and it was just my brain was in such a dumb state that i clicked on it and normally i'd be be like, oh, wow, he's really stepped in it this time.
But I was like, wait, they're just doing his promotion for him. What was he mad about this time? It was something with vaccines and like passports, vaccine passports.
I don't know. It was such a nothing burger like in the grand, like you just said, like if you're going your medical advice to Joe Rogan, like that's you shouldn't be doing that okay but it's entertainment so what he's doing is entertaining people and talking to different people it's just a crazy concept to want to cancel someone and then continuously talk about them and like and just promote their show right if i want medical advice i'll listen to a doctor if i want to hear about how to make a hallucinogenic tea brewed from the antler of an elk that he just bow hunted, I'm going to tune into the Joe Rogan podcast.
Yeah, and guess what? The guy's fucking just doing his thing. Leave him alone.
Free Joe Rogan. Let's do free Joe Rogan.
Fuck it. Free Joe Rogan.
I'm on a free Joe Rogan kick. Jake.
The Lily World Series is back. Yes.
We've got the regionals going on right now. Toms River, New Jersey is back.
Todd Frazier's nephew is on the team, so get ready to see that. Todd Frazier, Derek Jeter, collab.
Back at it again on your screens the next few weeks. I love it.
What do they put in the water in Toms River? What kind of river is that? Because they're always a dynasty for the last 40 years in Little League baseball. I love it.
Yeah. They love showing the crying kids, too.
Oh, and I love seeing the crying kids. Yeah, crying kids are the best.
It's the best. Do you think that there are any dads, like real hardcore baseball dads, the ones that wear the wraparound Oakleys 24-7, that have had a son and then moved to Tom's River? Yeah, probably.
So that their son could play for that Little League team? Yeah. Yes, definitely.
Yeah, just in the hopes that he would get better coaching growing up. Yes, absolutely.
I don't like the mic'd up coaches, though, who know they're mic'd up. Yeah, they give the pep talks to the mound.
Yeah, like, guys, it's okay. It's like, no, there's no way when this was mic'd up.
When you were playing in the regionals and the kid was giving up bomb after bomb, you were not saying, like, don't worry, sport. No.
It'll be okay.

Try to go viral. You motherfucker, I want

to go to... Where is it?

Williamsport. Williamsport.
I want to go to fucking Williamsport

and ride the Hershey rollercoaster.

Yeah, there's no chance that that's

how they talk. They're like, get this pussy out of the game.

So great. And they're

basically doing it so that it'll be on

top 10 on ESPN. Look at this

guy teaching a lesson. Have you ever met a really competitive Little League coach? That's not how they talk.
No. Those words are not.
The words sportsmanship and it's okay sports are not in their vocabulary. And you don't get to Williamsport if you're just a fucking laid back Little League coach.
Right. That's just not how it works.
Right. I'm excited, though.
We missed the Little League World Series last year. We should repurpose that Photoshop.
Oh, yes. That we did.
Yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Of the kids' favorite snacks and like.
Tell his teacher sup. Yeah, sup.
Yeah, he said sup. I'm also on the.
Did you guys see that clip of the comedian? People got mad at us for that, too. Yeah, they did.
People were like, this is fake. That was like a Joe Rogan thing.
Yeah, this is clearly fake. This is the flight attendant.
It was a comedian who did the interview pretending to be the flight attendant, and it was very, very funny. Everyone's like, that's not the real guy.
It's a comedian. It's like, but it's still funny.
Like, if it's fake, okay, I shouldn't say that it's real. But if it's funny, it's funny.
Yeah, and that guy is like, now that people know him more than they used to, and he already had a pretty large following of like 200,000 subscribers, but now that he's even more well-known as being the guy that reacts to something that just happened in the news, I think people are going to like him that much more. Next time something like that happens, I'm going to be on the lookout for this guy's viral news vulturing video that he puts up right afterwards.
Yes, and there's too much of like, oh, well, that's fake, so I can't enjoy it. No, I don't care if it's fake.
It was fucking funny on its own. Billy.
My who's back is America. Yeah.
America, one thing we didn't touch upon, we won. Oh, yeah, we did.
We won the Olympics. Most golds? Most golds, 39 golds over China's 38.
So Gable's last-minute gold was one of those. Or USA basketball.
Right. Or the women's USA basketball.
And volleyball. And volleyball.
Yeah, so we had 112 medals, and China had 87. Russia was third.
No. Nope.
Uh-uh. ROC? Oh, yeah, sorry.
Come on. Get it right.
Get it right. But, yeah.
So we're kicking ass again. I love it.
We're number one. America is officially back.
Yeah. Number one.
We are. Okay.
It feels good. It feels like all that time invested not clipping any of the Olympic sports because the IOC is stupid and doesn't want people to actually watch the Olympics.
It was well spent. Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Okay.
Great. Who's back, everyone? That good.
Good. Who's back? Solid all around.
All right. We're going to do Guy Fieri.
Fieri. Fieri.
And then we have the Mount Rushmore. Before we do get to Guy, PFT, I think you had a quick word from one of our sponsors.
Yes. I want to talk to you guys about our great friends, wonderful friends over at Mattress Firm.
We're trying to un-junk America's sleep right now. We might have had some junky sleep this weekend.
I can speak for myself and tell you I had some junk sleep. I know Big Cat's had some junk sleep this weekend.
America overall has a problem and that's that everyone is exhausted and out of it because they're not sleeping in a bed that's right for them and the sleep that they are getting sucks. This has a name.
It's called junk sleep. It can result from staying up too late, working in bed before going to sleep, watching TV in bed before going to sleep, using your phone tablet in bed when trying to go to sleep, not taking the time to unwind from the day and prepare for bed.
It can result from a poor quality mattress and all those can be solved by talking to a mattress firm sleep expert. The sleep experts over at Mattress Firm are going to match you to the best mattresses and sleep products out there based on your specific sleep preferences so you can get your best sleep possible.
We're excited to be partnering with them for this year's Grit Week. They're going to help spread the word on how to un-junk your sleep.
To un-junk your sleep, go to mattressfirm.com or you can go to Mattress Firm's store today. Speak with a sleep expert.
It makes a difference. They know what they're doing at Mattress Firm.
They have the best mattresses in the game. So go to mattressfirm.com or visit a store today.

And now, Guy Fieri. Okay, we now welcome on a very good friend of the show, recurring guest.
When we said we'd love to have him back on, we didn't think it'd be this quickly. It is Guy Fieri, the legend.
So we got a bunch of stuff going on. Guy Fieri has done the impossible.
He has created the apple pie hot dog, which we got to talk about that. You also have a new show coming out.
That's coming out at the end of August. The busiest man in showbiz.
You want to talk about apple pie hot dog? At first, because I was on vacation last week. I came back, and there was a a bunch of stuff on my desk guy fieri when you think he's done it all he's like hey i'm gonna put a hot dog inside of an apple pie and basically make the most american thing ever how did you how do you do it how do you do it guy well let me let me give you the genesis uh you you guy i'll just tell you this thank you for having me back.
You guys are worldwide. All of my cousins, my kids, our friends, anybody that's a sports junkie went bananas when I was on the show.
So the fact that I'm back now, they're really going to think that I've got something going on. So thanks for having me.
Past that, listen, I'm a huge Chevy guy. Always have been a Chevy guy.
I am diehard bow tie, okay? I mean, I've got three Corvettes, three Camaros, a bunch of Chevy trucks. I mean, everybody laughs to my family.
They say the only reason that you really worked hard and got into all this is just so you could afford your car budget, you know, your car and your hot rod budget. So I get this call from Chevy.
And then my agent calls me and says,

hey, listen, Chevy wants to talk to you about this idea.

I'm like, they want me to design another hot rod.

Well, it wasn't quite that exciting.

But it was a great thing.

They said, do you think you could take,

do you remember the old jingle from the 70s?

Baseball, hot dog, apple pie, and Chevrolet.

You guys aren't old enough to remember that.

But when I was a kid, it was something that you heard it come on the radio.

You heard it come on the TV.

And you just knew how to do the sing-along.

I don't ask, because I'm not singing. And they said, do you think it's possible that you could take an apple pie and marry it with a hot dog? Well, my first instinct, my first thought was putting a hot dog inside of an apple pie.
No way would that work. And they said, it doesn't have to be the iconic apple pie like this, but we want those flavors because apple and meat go together really well.
We've already heard that Bobby Brady pork chops and applesauce. So I said, no, the savory and the sweet have a combo.
And then we love things that have crust and have buns and have texture. So a flaky apple pie.
I said, OK, I said, let me think about this because it's really whacked out, man. This is like this is even past the mayor of Flavortown.
I said, OK, so I called my team and I'm like, hey, before anybody thinks I'm drinking, let me just go over this with you. What do you think about if we took, and so we started, we started messing with it, started going back and forth.
And what we came up with it, I listen, I know you probably look at me a little sideways, but what we came up with actually should be prepared and sold in frozen food sections because we take a flaky pie crust. We take an all American beef hot dog.
We make a bacon jam with crunchy with crunchy bacon. And we make a mustard, an apple mustard.
And we layer that hot dog in between two pieces of the flaky pie crust, a little bit of the apple pie filling and the bacon jam in the center. And then we bake it.
And then right when it comes out, we hit it with a little raw sugar, just a little raw sugar on the show so it won't burn. And when we pull it out, we drizzle it with an apple mustard.
And I am telling you, I'm telling you, you're going to dig it. That sounds amazing.
You know what you could do, too? I don't want to tell you how to do your job, Guy, but if you wanted to make that, like the stuffed crust, around an actual apple pie, that would probably be good, too. Hey, this thing is going in such weird directions.
I'm going to tell you, I get this. You know, we shot a big thing here with Chevy, which was awesome because they brought a new 2022 Chevy Camaro, Chevy Corvette here, and maybe somebody ripped it around town for a while.
I don't want to say anybody did that but um with only like 50 miles on it but uh no exactly I started feeding it to the crew and there were people who kind of look at me sideways like man what is this guy doing and everybody that took a bite of it went it so works so what's going to happen you know Field of Dreams you know the movie Field of Dreams well they next to where they shot the movie they built a big city you guys know this i'm just preaching to the choir but at this game between the socks and the uh and the yankees they're going to serve this so this apple pie hot dog that we've made has gone to a partner and they've made up i think they they made like 6,000 of them. Everybody who attends this, I think on August 12th or right there when they play the game, they're going to serve this to everybody.
So they're going to not only get a chance to go to one of the most iconic parts of baseball ever, and one of the most iconic places ever, you know, with our partners with Chevy, who are the most all American you can have, and they're going to get to eat an apple pie hot dog. You have reached, like, American nirvana.
I don't know how you did it, but the fact that they're going to be watching baseball in Iowa, Field of Dreams site, Guy Fieri made a hot dog-apple pie combo. I mean, this is it.
Like, would you say this is the biggest accomplishment in your life? A life of many accomplishments. I think it's got to be up there, right? It is one of those that when the gauntlet is put in front of you, and this Chevy team's been amazing to work with.
I mean, these guys, they know exactly where I'm at with it because I am big time. And there's a great story about it.
When I started shooting Diners, Driving, and Dives, and we got picked up to do the show the production the producer called me and said hey so we got picked up for six episodes now you said you had this big problem you won't drive anything but a chevy i mean we just saying that is that a real thing i'm like i'm not doing the show unless i'm driving a chevy i'm just not getting caught in any other because we did drive some other cars in the pilot of the show We even drove a fourth. But we drove some other cars.

And I said,

Remember, in any other because we did drive some other cars in the pilot of the show we even drove up but um we drove some other cars and i said remember that camaro that we drove in boston i said remember that camaro that we yeah that's the this the convertible regular that's that i like so they went and bought that exact red convertible camaro that's how this whole thing started but no when when you get your favorite uh car brand calls you and says, can you do this? And I got to be honest, I was a little shaky at the beginning. I said, of course, I would take the challenge.
But what has come out is really going to be a blast. People are going to dig it.
And what a great promotion. Because I don't know if you remember that song, but man, these guys are just, they're just tugging at the heartstrings because it takes you right back to your child.
At least for me, it does take back to my childhood and it's pretty awesome yeah it's it's what it's up there man it's up there in hey can you jump snake river canyon evil knievel oh yeah i can't he'll bring it well i gotta try it i can't i can't wait we have some it sounds like a wonderful dish oh you guys have one yeah we have some in the in the kitchen we uh we we just got vacation. We're going to eat them later today.
Fantastic.

Oh, listen.

You just promised me this.

You've got to put the mustard on there.

And I gave a whole video.

The great thing is people can go online.

They can get this whole thing.

I gave a whole demonstration video about how to make it.

And I'm telling people, don't go all bananas on this.

Oh, no.

Keep it low-key.

Buy the pre-made pie crust.

Buy some apple pie filling. You've got to make the bacon jam.
Get a really good hot dog, your favorite kind of hot dog. You got to make the apple pie mustard.
We take a little bit of apple pie filling and mustard and mix them together so you get a little sweet and a little tangy, savory acid of the mustard. And putting the raw sugar on, on the top when it cooks in there, so it kind of gives that little crunch on the top, a little sweet crunch get a combo of sweet and savory just the juxtaposition going back and forth i want you guys to let me know what you think i think you're gonna be blown away hell yeah do i have to be high to eat it or is that just recommended you know how many people ask me is was anybody under the influence of anything when this was built and i'm like i would tell you that i was if i was but i'm telling you it's there were no beverages or any other substance involved it was just really you know what it was is remember those those apple pies you would get it in fast food when you were a kid yeah and it would be so hot that your mom would take it away from you because if you bit into it you would be scarred but it was that kind of kind of shape.
And the team from Chevy who were really, I mean, I'm wondering, is this a real thing? And they were super tuned into it. And they had sent me a picture of one.
And that's where the genesis came from. Like, wait a second.
I need to be able to see the hot dog. I can't make a bun out of pie crust because it'll fall apart.
How can I mirror these things together? I think what came out. You guys will be calling me for more i'm telling you he's gonna end up in the store i'm excited it does sound good and i've noticed like i don't know if you if you've lost some weight but you look like you're in really good shape right now uh do you have like a workout regimen is guy fury like a sneaky undercover hot dogs guys you know what i'm uh so i'm 53 and uh i won one of those guys.
I've got two young boys. Well, Hunter's 25 and Ryder's 15.
And we just got back from being at our cabin for a month, so there was a lot of water sports. And the one thing I don't want to do is be doing all this activity and energy and shows and creating all the things I'm creating and be one of those guys that hits 60 and drops over so i try to take care of myself you know pretty regimented uh lifestyle and workout style i work about four days a week so and everything from hiking to crossfit to to that dreaded treadmill to the elliptical to that that rowing machine i hate that yep the worst it is the worst you know especially when you got a gut you have any level of gut you know you have to get over it's terrible it's like my golf swing i don't i can't play golf because my breasts get in the way two minutes on the rowing machine feels like seven minutes on the elliptical yeah we have races of who can stay on it between like a full sprint on the Peloton treadmill to the rowing machine, to the elliptical.
But the way I'll tell you, here's my theory, or here's what keeps me motivated and working out is I invite a bunch of my friends over and we all commit. So if you flake, you're the one guy that flaked today, then, cause we've got a big gym set up and it's great we do CrossFit and everybody shows up.
And you don't want to show up on a Monday, but you have to. Because if you don't show up, you just catch so much crap for the rest of the week.
So that buddy motivation program really does work. All right.
So you mentioned your sons. I saw you.
You were at a bunch of NBA Finals games. We talked a lot about the Phoenix crowd.
Now, you probably were were just a regular looking guy in the Phoenix crowd because it was an eclectic group of people. What was it like in the stadium? And like the, we kept on saying that people are just sun poisoned in the desert.
So when they get inside to AC, like they, they like kind of lose their mind a little bit and they all look like they've been partying all day and having a great time and we would never fit in a crowd like that. Well, I got to tell you that Arizona and the AZ fans are so, they're just, the Suns fans are great.
You know, it reminds me, because I'm a big Warriors fan living up here in Northern California. It reminds me of the Warriors back in Oracle Arena, okay? Back when people had tickets for 20 years, and all of a sudden the team comes alive and really starts blowing up, and the people still have their season tickets.
You know, things haven't changed. It's still filled with just crazy fans, okay, that have been there forever.
And then, of course, things change. Of course, sponsorships come in, tickets go higher price and you start to lose some of that fan base.
You can really tell the difference on the fan base to when the ones that were there true blue or true sons. But I'm going to tell you something.
It was outrageous. Those fans were so passionate, so enthusiastic.
And I love Arizona. I mean, I love going out and see the Diners, Divers and Dives down there.
I mean, we go down to we go down sanctuary one of my best buds boe mcmillan who's a big chef down there who i need to introduce you guys to you'd love it but he's got these great this great restaurant this great resort so the whole thing was a package deal but the fans were on fire it was those games we went down for the playoffs first and a buddy of mine named chris alvarez who's a big guy for uh jim bean known him for years so he invites us down we'll go to the game we sit on the court my son ryder and i and uh ryder when we get back when my kids have stationary and i'm into handwritten letters and big thank yous you got to be respectful and responsible writer's 15 so ryder wrote him this really well written handwritten letter or card and about a week later alvarez takes a picture and sends it to me and texts it over and goes, who in the world? Nobody has written me a thank you card in all of the seats I've given away. You tell Ryder, if they make it to the finals, I got a ticket for him.
I'm like, don't do this to me, please. Please don't put this on me.
Well, long story short, they, of course, they made it to the finals. We were at the lake, get out of the lake, back into civilization, on a plane, fly to Arizona and go to the game.
And then he, Chris goes, I want to stick around for game two. I mean, it was the hot mess.
I love it. All because a kid, all because a 15-year-old wrote a thank you letter.
There's a lesson in there. The lost art of handwriting.
They don't teach kids cursive anymore in school. Isn't that nuts? I'll write something to them in cursive and he's like, what does this say? Yeah, right.
It's basically how adults can communicate and code around kids nowadays. Yes.
I haven't thought about it that way, but that's exactly what it is. Have you been out to Vegas recently? Are you going to go out there and cook for Raiders training camp? I just, I'm telling you, we are so fired up fired up.
We have a restaurant. We have a flavor town kitchen there in a flavor tailgate in, uh, in Raider stadium, um, which was a big thing for me because I'm, you know, I'm silver and black.
Um, we haven't been in there for a game yet or for anything. I mean, we have to develop the restaurant, but no, our goal is to make as many games as possible.
One of my really good friends, Marcel reese i was kind of like an uncle to rider um number 45 used to play for the raiders is now in the admin program and works directly with mark so yeah we're uh we're putting our schedule together to get down there and it's just man finally the raiders get the stadium they deserve to play and it's so many years in oakland and sharing it with the baseball. Still playing on dirt in this day and age was crazy.
But it's pretty amazing. It's a beautiful stadium.
It is. It's a very beautiful stadium.
You guys gotta let me know when you go down to Vegas to go to a game because I've got a couple restaurants here. I've got Guys Vegas Kitchen and Bar right there on the strip between the...
at the Link is what it's called between Harris and Flamingo. And then I have another one called El Buddo Barracho, the drunk donkey over at the Rio.
So yeah, we're getting ready to open a bunch more. We got a big sports bar, a big sports complex that we're opening up hopefully by the beginning of the first quarter in 2022.
So we got a lot going on, but when you guys are hitting vegas make sure you let me know and i'll i'll make sure that i'll make sure would you go with some stretch pants i had i had a question uh that i didn't get to last time uh can you explain to us the deal your deal with eggs how much time do we have as much as you want As much as you want, conversation so here's the deal with eggs um grew up on a on a ranch farm you know in outside outside of town uh raised animals raised sheep and steers and horses a lot of horses were big in horses chickens you know we you name it we had it and i would eat eat fried egg sandwiches like they're going out of style. And one day I got a little surprised when I cracked the egg in the frying pan.
I was about nine. And I, oh, ta-da, look at that little gift.
And my buddy and I, and it was just kind of like this revelation. It was kind of like this, oh, okay, I get how the big process works.
This is the chicken and the egg. And my dad gave me the explanation of why the chicken was in the egg when it was in the frying pan.
And that kind of started my little thing. I use eggs in everything I cook.
I mean, it's quintessential as a chef that we have eggs in food. I'm just not a fan of the liquid chicken part of the runny yolk thing that my wife loves.
She had to dip the toast in that. I just sit there and go.
But I'm not a big fan of the liquid chicken part of the like the runny yolk thing that my wife loves she did dip the toast in that i just sit there and go so but i'm not a big fan of the smell i didn't eat so it's more about a breakfast egg than it is anything okay and um but it's not that big now i've had the egg challenge put in front of me several times i don't know if you saw tonight's show when i chugged the egg uh fallon j Jimmy knew that I was not an egg fan, so of course he brings out a carton of eggs and says,

so I chugged an egg for him.

Yeah, okay, so you can overcome it.

All right, well, I just, yeah, that was curious because that's a chef

not being a big fan of eggs is like that's one of the main things

that everything's cooked with.

You could hide the keys to a Ferrari.

Excuse me, let me record. You could hide the keys to a new 2022 Chevy Corvette under a pile of scrambled eggs.
You'd never get to the bottom of it. Oh, man.
Well, I think you got to go. I think you have some other stuff that you're booked up with today.
But I'm just going to let you marry on this one while you leave. Here's an idea that i came up with over the weekend i think it's a billion dollar idea alcoholic soup soup with booze in it tom noam with some rum i don't know that i've got you there because i would worry about the evaporation factor um alcohol evaporates faster than than water and so when you get that temperature up, would that bleed off? I don't know.

But I will tell you this,

that when the craziness of Chevy

and apple pie hot dogs

all got into my mind

and that kind of like changes my paradigm,

I got into this thing of boozy ice cream.

So you may keep an eye out.

There may be a Guy Fieri boozy ice cream

coming out sometime soon. Tell me that would be gangster.
What can't you do? I don't know what you can't do. Like, it's the genius mind of Guy Fieri.
He's going to be president one day. I fucking love it.
If you can make apple pie and hot dog get along, I'm sure he can solve Israel-Palestine. Yes.
You guys, let me know what you think of it because it's going to be a game changer.

All right.

I love it.

By the way, keep inspiring America and keep everybody on the edge of their seat.

You guys have no boundaries.

And it's just I love the enthusiasm.

I love the Instagram, the Twitter.

I mean, everything you guys are sending out there and keep this ball rolling.

We need more of your enthusiasm.

I love it.

Guy Fieri telling us to inspire America.

We love you guys.

Yes.

You do the same.

Thanks so much.

Guys are awesome.

I'll catch you soon.

All right.

See you.

Bye back in Vegas.

All right.

Yes, definitely.

All right, Mount Rushmore. If you didn't listen to the HelloFresh ad, please don't skip our ads one.
Two, go listen to it because it was basically the show. Mount Rushmore.
Mount Rushmore of items you would buy for $20 or less. Hank, do you want to do first because you're coming off a big win? Yeah, I got to tell you guys something.
First of all, can we just... I was in my own head because there was an overwhelming amount of comments telling me you guys threw it.
No. All right.
I didn't think so, but it was one of those things where I should have been basking in the win this weekend. Obviously, it was the most overwhelming for those that...
Obviously, it's a podcast. We put out the poll on Twitter.
The results were like 84% me, 3% PFT, 3% Billy and Jake, 4% Big Cat. So the most overwhelming win in all time.
You would think I'd be celebrating, happy for it. You were trending on Twitter.
Why weren't you happy? I was trending on Twitter on Wednesday after the cartoon characters draft. I know I pushed back on the show, but even myself, in a moment of reflection, I was looking in the mirror like, What are you doing? What are you thinking? What's going on right now? Get it together.
Make better picks. I texted my right-hand man, my partner in crime, Liam, and I was like, Liam, you're doing my Mount Rushmore Friday.
What? It was Bubba's Mount Rushmore? Text me a list. I'm just going to read your list.
I'm not going to do anything on my own, and then I'd need to see if people, if I'm actually making these terrible picks, or maybe people are just voting me in last place. So it wasn't you? You cheated.
Liam sent me a list. What the fuck? But I told him.
I told him. I was like, Liam, if you win.
Wait. Here's what I said.
You completely ruined Mount Rushmore's season. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You defiled the integrity of the competition. There's nothing left now.
Can I finish? I think we just canceled Mount Rushmore's season, big cat. I told Liam.
I was like, if I win, I'm passing the torch. It's Liam's Mount Rushmore.
I'm giving up my spot because clearly I'm doing terrible. All right.
hold on. And clearly Liam made the greatest Mount Rushmore draft of all time.
So not even close. We got to hear from Liam because Liam, you're the, you're the, what's the omniscient, omniscient narrator? You're the omniscient narrator.
Omnipresent. Omnipresent.
Having his list and watching it unfold was surreal. He doesn't know what that word means.
No, obviously not. Okay, because Liam knows that you did his picks, or Liam did your picks.
Obviously. Liam also knows other things.
All right, so I found out Wednesday. All right, so you guys did fix it.
No, he knows other things. We thought that the fans were fixing the vote.
Yeah, because they fucking... We thought the fans gassed you up so much that they just were like...
All the AWLs were like, hey, we're going to vote for Hank. We thought there must be like a Reddit thread or a back channel.
It's bullshit. A hype group.
There's no way you win 88% of the vote. It wasn't me.
What else does Liam know? Yeah, we fucking threw it, dude. Are you serious? Did you actually think we didn't get sausage on the background? Well, no.
That's what I said. You think I was on the wraparound? You guys ruined Mount Rushmore.
You guys both told me. We all ruined it.
You guys both told me that you were cheating within five minutes of each other. I thought I was getting fucked with.
I told memes. I had to be like, I was like, yo, what should I do about this? So I was like, because I was thinking, I was like, I might make one even worse than this.
There were two moments to like fuck with you. Where I was like, how does Hank not realize it? One was when Sausage got back to him and two was when PFT went back to back off.
I went double off. Well, I was just reading Liam's list.
All right, so you guys have actually ruined Mount Rushmore. No, we got you a win.
It felt good. But unfortunately, it didn't feel good because you also ruined it.
No, but see, I was just – He asked me to do it. You know what this reminds me of? But you guys saying, like, I'm not doing Mount Rushmore, period.
What are you talking about? You ruined it too. We all ruined it together.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You need someone else to do your picks.
No, no, no, no, no, no. I employed a strategy.
I was always going to say This is a new strategy And we were always going to say we did it so you'd have a nice weekend That's so lame That's the fucking lamest thing I've ever heard You guys are fucking losers Hank listen to me It's kind of a beautiful thing That we both cheated at the same time I did not cheat You guys just actually ruined Hank it's beautiful It's kind of a beautiful thing that we both cheated at the same time. No, I did not cheat.
You guys just actually ruined the bill. No, you cheated.
Hank, it's beautiful. It's like, you know the song, Do You Like Pina Coladas? It's about a guy writing a personal ad trying to cheat on his wife, and his wife also writes a personal ad trying to cheat on her husband, and they answer each other's ad and end up hooking up again.
Yes. That's what this podcast was on Friday.
We all parties cheated at the exact same time. I think it's meant to be.
No, it's not. You had someone else do your picks for you.
We might have said beforehand, let's make sure Hank wins this one so he can fucking feel good about himself. That's so lame.
Why? Just bros, gassing bros. Yeah.
I likened it to before before you got here, that it's like running in the wind. When the wind is at your back.
Yeah, you might be running a little extra fast because you've got a wind behind you, but you're still running fast, Hank. I'm actually really happy that I didn't make my own picks.
I am too, because we all cheated. Like PFT said, it's a perfect clean.
Either way. Every party cheated.
You guys are scumbags. I told Liam before.
I obviously didn't know you guys were just going to fucking. Because scumbags? It's just.
What? You guys. This is a sports podcast, right? Like what fucking player.
What football guy. Just like this isn't like.
I'm not a cancer patient. I'm not like a kid that's like.
Make a wish. No Like, give the kid a fucking run in the spring practice and touchdown.
Yeah, no one touch him. That's what we did for you.
Yeah, no, but, like, that's... That kid doesn't know that's what's happening.
You didn't know that's what's happening? No, I did, obviously. You were running the end zone.
I told Liam on camera beforehand. Like, fuck yeah, I did it.
No, because I knew the whole time it wasn't my picks. But we all cheated, so that's good.
I think it's beautiful. It really tells us that we're meant to be together.
Either way, I told... That goes down as the best Mount Rushmore we've ever done on all parts.
I told Liam if we won, he's doing my Mount Rushmores, and we won. Well, you didn't win.
I'm done. No, we did.
No, you have to keep going. No, absolutely not.
Why? Come on, man. I'm a man of my word.
I would not just lie and cheat and do this fake fucking. You guys are doing bits.
No, that's not a bit. That wasn't a bit.
That was not a bit. We're doing Malra's Wars.
There's a finite amount in a year. You want the players to go hard every single game.
No. And you guys just did loan management.
No. You guys were too lazy to come up with picks.
No. You thought of something that was easy.
No. I told Liam, I'm a man of my word.
It's a motivational technique. I said, Liam.
We want you to go into a good mental state, and we want you to have a successful performance so you can visualize repeating that successful performance. It doesn't matter.
I'm a man of my word. I told Liam, if we won, he gets my Mount Rushmore for the rest of the year, and we won.
That's it. That's your guys' fault for not trying.
This podcast is built on guys hanging out, having a good time, supporting each other, having some laughs. You were down a little bit.
We wanted to boost you up. We always were going to tell you.
So what the hell? No, it's all good. But, like, I told Liam.
It doesn't seem all good. Well, I feel bad for the listener because it's like every time you lose, you're going to be like, oh, I threw it on purpose.
Yes, the precedent has been set. No, no.
Did you actually tell Liam to to do it before there's no way yes hank there's no way that we the timing of it was like literally incredible like you told me that and then during like right after that interview hank told me that i was gonna do it and i was like i was looking around being like somebody's fucking with me we deserve each other i'd like to go back. I'm done with Mount Rushmore.

I'd like you to watch Jake during the Mount Rushmore because he was so uncomfortable

with having to participate in a scam.

Well, he just picked spinach probably anyway.

The reasoning was pretty good, right?

About the salad.

He was fidgeting around his chair

and he was looking at us with this nervous smile on his face. Like, I can't believe I'm doing this right now this goes against every five or five days I was just going off the list so I wasn't really thinking about it when it came back to me with sausage I was like that's crazy but then someone tweeted at me and was like they clearly threw it because Big Cat goes oh I'm going to take sautéed onions and I was like oh yeah I didn't say sa, I didn't say sautéed onions.
I said, yeah, sautéed onions are a real thing. No, I know.
It was always a plan. The way you said it.
No, we weren't ever going to take sausage. We literally said the only two picks that we can't make are pepperoni and sausage.
And the fact that you gave me the first pick was clearly obvious when it's like the only it's a draft where there's one obvious one. But you didn't screw it up.
Yeah. You said pepperoni.
When you were under the right place. Yeah, I'm happy for Liam.
He's always helped me. He's always giving me picks.
I'm passing the torch. This is sad.
It's sad for you guys. No, it's sad for all.
It's sad for the listeners. You're robbing the listeners now.
You guys rob the listeners. No, you are.
No, you did. I'm a man of my word.
I said if we won, he gets it. We won, he gets it.
Hank, right now. You guys didn't try..
You didn't try either. Right now you are robbing the listeners going forward.
They want Hank. They're clamoring.
They're at the gates with pitchforks demanding Hank Mount Rushmore. He won the biggest draft of all time.
It's like fucking Michael Jordan coming in and dropping 50 and then you don't just put him back on the bench. But it was a setup.
I'm past my prime. No, it was a setup.
Hank, you're

still doing Mount Rushmore. You have to.

Hank, if you don't do Mount Rushmore,

if you don't do it, you're fired.

If I go against my word, what do I become?

We're going to fire you if you don't

do Mount Rushmore. The people want it.
Do you understand?

You guys should have fucking tried then.

Take a step back and realize how

perfect this was. No, no.

It wasn't perfect. It was a social experiment.

I need to know.

You guys have made it so much worse.

I need to know if I chose my picks and people, I was just making bad picks.

I needed to see a regular.

I needed to see Liam's picks with your guys' real picks.

And I wanted to see how that sized up.

You guys fucking threw it because you're losers.

Here's what we'll do.

In the next two weeks, Liam can do one of your picks, and you'll find it.

You'll do the social experiment.

No.

Oh, Hank, this is sad.

I agree.

Yeah, I agree.

No, I agree.

I don't get why you guys don't.

I mean, Liam had the biggest draft.

You need to check your ego.

Hank, they want you to pick four teenagers and preteens to hang out with.

Liam's younger than me.

In the cartoon draft. They want you to pick four teenagers and preteens to hang out with.
Liam's younger than me. In the cartoon draft.
They want you to say pole vaulting. This all started with pole vaulting.
You guys should have tried. Yeah, again, I was coming off a long weekend.
My brain wasn't there. I happened to be talking to a pole vaulter.
Billy looks like he's about to say something right now that's going to fix the entire situation. Let's go, Billy.
I just feel bad for the anchovy commission. No, that didn't fix anything.
No, there's like a group of heavily dedicated anchovy fans. Shout out my pineapple fans.
I do like pineapple on pizza. Also, shout out to vegans.
I didn't really mean what I said. I kind of did, but stay subscribed.
There was some honesty behind my picks. I just went down the draft board.
I liked my pizza when I ate it today. A vegan emailed me.
What did they say? I'm going to pull it up. It was fucked up.
That's awesome. Let's read it.
Monday reading real quick. Oh, you know what a good embrace debate for veganism is? Wow, what a segment this is.
Is honey vegan. Honey vegan? The subject is lack of vegan love.
Yeah. Hey dudes, period.
I might be the one vegan listener you guys were talking about on last week's show. I pretty much love you guys more than anybody considered to be P-less celebs.
Rude. The vegan hate, though, is so real with you guys, exclamation point.
What's up with that? Just would appreciate a little respect from time to time. Still a fan, even through the vegan-ness slander.
Would even buy you boys an In-N-Out or any other animal slaughter dish if it's your choice. Anyway, I just wanted to say you have to at least one diehard listener out there.
It'd be nice if you guys would respect a person's diets as I do yours. Thanks for the email, Bailey.
I think that what we have to look at here is it takes all stripes. So if you're a vegan listener, that's fine.
Go eat a steak is what I'll say. Go eat a steak and tell me that's not better.
Stop stealing cow's food. There we go, Billy.
Actually, I will say right now, if that guy's real, I will say right this second, I welcome you to Zoom in and have a one-on-one 10-minute debate with Billy and we'll'll put it on the show. On Vegan vs.
Non. You know what we should do? We'll put it after the song.
That should be one of the stakes. What? We'll put it on the YouTube.
That should be one of the stakes for a bet that we do every football season, where maybe if you lose that week's your picks, if you have the worst record, you have to go vegan. Nope, I won't do that.
You guys are Tim Donaghy. I won't do that.
What? You guys. Yeah, those flags still fly.
You guys have ruined the sport. The Lakers still won that championship.
Tim Donaghy's a legend. Yeah.
He still comes on part of my take. You ruined the sport.
You had someone else pick for you. That's ruining the sport equally.
No, that's called literally a sports. A player plays bad.
But you didn't tell us. They put in a replacement.
You didn't tell us. If you had said, Liam, you're doing the picks, that's different.
You deceived us. You Wally pipped yourself.
You deceived us. No, but they were separate.
It didn't matter. There's so many different levels of gaslighting.
Yeah, I know. I don't even know.
We could mine a Bitcoin right now. We have so much gaslight going.
Whatever. I'm happy for Liam.
He deserves this opportunity. I'm happy for you that you won him out in Rushmore, 88%.
Liam. That's you.
Put it up like the Colts. Put that banner up.
88%. Alright, what number, Hank? Hank, come on.
The people are going to be so upset. And they should be upset at you.
You get upset, look in the mirror. When you get mad at me, look at yourself.
You have no one to blame but yourself. Hank, you're also just completely discounted the fact that you also cheated.
You're no better than us. You're no better than us on this side of the table.
There's a huge difference between throwing a game and putting in a replacement player. Hank, if it was cheating, if this was cheating on your significant other, we had sex, you got a blowjob.
No, we both cheated. Absolutely not.
I told Liam to text my girlfriend because I was having a bad time texting her. You guys just fucked someone else.
What? You told Bubba... That was not hypothetical.
You didn't actually do that. You just did the sex and blowjob comparison and I'm saying in this comparison, if I was trying to get with a girl and I was going through a slump, I was like, I can't.
My texts aren't going through. They're not flying.
Liam, can you send some texts for me? Get it going. Here's the perfect analogy.
You guys were just like, you just catfished. You guys just catfished.
Here's the perfect analogy. If we were all taking a test, if we were all taking a college test, all we did was say we're going to it so that it adjusts the curve so that Hank does well.
You literally cheated off someone else. That's both cheating.
That is literally what happened. It's both cheating.
That's exactly what happened. The sex analogy I would use would be like, you got a hand job.
We did anal but didn't come. Yeah.
There we go. On the back.
Either way, I'm a man of my word. And I told Liam, if we won, we did, the spot is his.
All right, this is bullshit. I'm a man of my word.
What do you want me to say? One. You can't just say that you're not doing Mount Rush.
Wait, are you not doing? There was clearly, you know, I'm a man of my word. I'm a man of my word.
I'll take two, so I'll go overly competitive. If you guys had tried hard and we won,

wouldn't you say it's fair?

Wouldn't you say it's fair? Billy, what's your pick?

What number?

69.

Okay.

You're so stupid.

What?

Egg went one.

If you went two, I went three.

If you just said four, you would have had four.

Yeah.

82. You still got it.
All right, Billy wins. All right.
what do you want the order to be? You want to go first? Okay And just to clarify, each item is $20 So it's a total of $80 that you'll be spending Yes This Mount Rushmore is irrelevant after what just happened I think we're all guilty, myself included I have blood on my my hands. Not me.
I don't feel guilty at all. I didn't do anything wrong.
I almost didn't. So the other wrinkle was when I texted...
I mean, you guys are sickos. I texted Billy and...
I can't look at you guys. I texted Billy and PFT and one of my friends, Jake...
I don't like... That's fucked up.
And my friend Jake was like, texting me on the side. He was like, what are you talking about in this text about throwing him out Rushmore? And then I thought maybe we shouldn't tell Jake Marsh because he can't lie.
You guys are worse than OJ. Wow.
Well, OJ didn't do it. So we're good.
Son. Yeah.
So there you go. All right.
So you got first pick Hank second? Yeah. And then PFT then me? then me yep all right let's do it so uh if i got a nice crisp 20 bill uh-huh i'm getting 18 pack of coors there it is that was definitely not going to make it all the way to the fourth good pick good pick billy good pick hank the hank and liam you can have a team together.
I have his list, so I'm just going to read his list. These are Liam's picks.
Movie tickets. Movie tickets.
Two of them? One of them? One of them. It's got to be one now.
Yeah. Okay.
Good pick. Movie tickets.
I like it. Okay.
A gram. Oh, not a drug guy.
Not a drug guy, but for the value, it's a steal.

Yes.

Yes.

How much does a gram usually cost these days?

20-ish.

I think it's just been 20 for the last 40 years.

That's the one thing that doesn't inflate.

It's just mids.

All right.

I will go with...

You get two for 20.

Chili's Fajitas Trio.

Fajitas Trio from Chili's.

You get steak, shrimp, and chicken. Great meal.
The sizzle. Delicious.
And a $20 worth of 50-50 raffle tickets, because that could be thousands. Yep.
You just get more and more money, because I definitely would have won with that. Mm-hmm.
Okay. My second, I'm going to go with pizza.
Ooh. Just get a pizza.
What are you going to put on it? So I like green olives. Look at Hank, he's so mad.
But I also like black olives. But I also like Kalamata olives.
You guys have just ruined this for everyone. Forever.
This is a real Mount Rushmore we're doing. Is it? Yeah.
Pizza, Hank. Who fucking knows? All right.
Okay. I'm shocked Hank didn't take a gram with his first pick, too.
Good pick, PFC. It's not my pick, or else I definitely would have.
Okay. Bleacher ticket to a day baseball game.
Ah. Pretty good.
Okay. I'm shocked Hank didn't take a gram with his first pick, too.
Good pick, PFC. It's not my pick, or else I definitely would have.
Okay. Bleach your ticket to a day baseball game.
Ah. Pretty good.
Okay. So you guys are just doing all sorts of tickets.
I'm saying you guys, these are not my picks. Yeah.
My first one is going to be an NFL Red Zone channel subscription. Oh, good one.
And then my second one, similar to yours, Big Cat, it's going to be $20 worth of scratch-offs. Okay.
It's always fun. This was not my pick again, but I fully endorse it.
A shit ton of Taco Bell. All right.
Yeah. Okay.
Love it. Love Taco Bell.
Greatest restaurant in the world. Just a shit ton of it.
I like it. All right.
So for my third one, I'm going to go with gas. You can do anything if you have a tank of gas.
And I know $20 isn't a full tank. That's not a full, yeah.
But there's something just magical. I don't really drive a car that much anymore, but I do have one for the summer.
And so when I filled up the tank the other day, you feel so empowered looking at that needle all the way at the top. You feel like you can do anything in the world with a full tank of gas.
I'm going to get bonked for my next pick, but I don't care. Fleshlight.
It's a joke. It's just a prank.
Brazzers password, a subscription to Brazzers. Bonk.
And then my last pick is going to be Trenta iced coffee with 12 shots of espresso. That's 1,095 milligrams of caffeine.
It runs about like 15 bucks. All right.
Get myself fueled. What do you think is the most expensive coffee you can buy at Starbucks? That we should try to figure out if we can.
It's got to be like with caramel squirts and all kinds of shit. Like a $30.
I'll try to do it right now on the app. Yeah.
Okay. Get to work on that.
For my last one, I'm going to go with Dave and Buster's power card. Dave and Buster is a great way to spend $20, and it pays for itself because if you get enough tickets, you can get a keychain afterwards.
That's true. Hank? You're up? T-shirt at the beach slash boardwalk.
Yeah, female body inspector. Nice.
Are the shirts that are like, if you look at my daughter, I will slit your throat. Yeah.
I love those ones. Yes.
Yes. Florida man named William Lewis broke the record for the most expensive Starbucks beverage with a grande latte that costs $83.75 and contained 99 extra shots of espresso and 17 pumps of vanilla syrup, mocha, and matcha powder.
And also probably seven different people spit from that Starbucks. Yeah, Jesus Christ.
I didn't know. I only went 12 because that's how many let you do on the app.
So I guess I would do however many it would let me to get to a $20 drink. All right, last pick.
This guy fucking sucks. The most expensive steak at Walmart.

Oh.

No, I think you could get over like a porterhouse.

You could get your T-bone.

It's 20.

Yeah.

Oh, okay.

Shout out to that vegan guy.

He's probably... Suck it.

Yeah, what's the most expensive?

Puking up his squash you can buy.

Sunflower seeds.

What else do they eat?

What if he eats some kind of berries?

Nuts?

Quinoa?

Yeah, they just walk around like...

Kale.

What do you think the most expensive vegetable you could buy? If you were to go to a grocery store and get one vegetable. Avocados, they bankrupt a generation.
Avocados. Other picks.
I had a mini hoop. We can't buy houses because of them.
A mini hoop, basketball hoop on the door.

I had a basketball on my list, too.

Just getting a ball.

Two new podcast host best friends.

That was available for $20.

All right.

I would love to buy a producer that will admit that they actually also cheated.

No, absolutely not.

That's more than $20?

How much is that? Just give me a price. Give us a price so we know what we're working with.
I'm not even going to get into it. I refuse.
I've said my piece. I had a case of Coors Light and a five-pound bag of ice.
Ooh. Make the mountains extra blue.
Yes, yes. Plus, when you buy the bag of ice out of the ice machine, you get to drop it and break it, and that's the best part of buying ice.
20 games of Keno. So is Hank's name going to be on the thing still? No.
Yes. No.
Liam makes the thing. Please make sure that Hank's name is still there.
Maybe bold it. Yeah.
Maybe put some fireworks. Or maybe, in parentheses, coming off an 88% win.
Billy, do you have a recap? Oh, a game of bowling would be pretty good, too. Oh, yeah.
So the most expensive coffee in the world is actually made from civets' poop. Yep.
The civets eat the coffee beans, and then they poop it out, and that's the world's most expensive coffee. I had a cup of that when I had to eat shit when the Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup.
Oh, no, when they beat the Penguins. Did you even eat shit, though? Yeah, I did.
You were there, Hank. Don't let...
I don't want our past to be effective. No, if we're going to start muddying the waters.
Let's muddy the waters. All the memories that we've made together remain unchanged.
No, were you just feeling bad for me then, or were you just actually being my friend? I'll never know. What does it matter? I kind of like emo Hank now.
Yeah. If we bought you, if prostitution was legal and we got you a hooker, would you be mad? Yeah.
Without telling you? That's lame. Yeah.
That's lame. You're not even a dude.
Yeah, come on. Guy code.
That's fucking lame. I think we should just do no more gaslighting during Mount Rushmore.
Just like we'll have a flag. Now, Billy, I'm going to need you to explain.
Did Joe Rogan do a podcast about gaslighting last week? What's going on? It's like when you make people think that they're wrong when they're really right. Yeah.
But we're all debating. We're all wrong.
Like when I said, oh, that's like the number one thing. Everyone yells at TVs and everyone's like, no, that's terrible.

It's just a bad pick.

I'm not saying it's not real.

Yelling oh at a TV. So this all goes back to you being mad about.

You've been sitting in your head.

I've been stealing.

We need therapy after Mount Rushmore season.

Jesus Christ.

We're on Ted Lasso before we leave.

Damn.

Yeah.

We need to just sit down and watch.

Fuck Ted Lasso.

Thank you, Hank.

Only because he won't come on the show. Not because the show's bad.
Oh, okay. I like the show, but yeah.
That's my stance. Yeah.
Train camp story. Zach Wilson is not doing well.
Oh, yeah. I saw that.
The Jets offense was like, he had like six picks. Yeah.
Three points on seven drives. And Nikhil Harry is doing amazing, apparently.

So that would be a good late round fantasy.

There we go.

Billy's fantasy advice.

Nice.

I wish you might.

And yeah.

Also, that was a deep, deep exhale from Hank there.

Lane Kiffin lost 30 pounds.

And his team is 100% vaccinated.

Looking like a hot boy summer. Remember when I asked him when I was like, hey, dude, you look good.
He's like, that's a weird thing to say to another man. Yeah.
I was like, all right. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Well, he had a great quote. He said that after the bowl game, he saw a picture of himself, and he put it on the big screen for his players to watch.
He said, I look like an anaconda that swallowed a deer. And then the deer got stuck in his throat.

That's actually pretty spot on.

Yeah.

Yeah.

If you looked at the angle that he had in the interview with us was also from a low angle.

Yeah.

And so there was that.

He definitely had that deer pouch.

Yeah.

All right.

Are we good?

Are we good?

Yeah.

Jurassic Park was the first time the T-Rex was shown in the correct posture.

Ooh. Hank, do you need to hug it out?

Yeah.

I'm good.

What about it?

I think we should hug it out.

Yeah, we should.

I think 71 is my pick.

Hug it out, bitch.

I'm good.

71 is sitting right here.

69.

I'll take 18.

I'll put 71 back in for you, Hank.

I love you.

I'll take eight.

Texas has moved.

The SEC might be trying to court Archie Manning. Arch.
Arch. Mm-hmm.
As a potential reason. Uh, 61.
That would be fucking hilarious if Texas switched conferences just to try to get one athlete that they don't end up getting. Okay.
Exactly. All right.
This is broken. So, we'll just...
What's your pick, Hank? 72. 72, it's 72.
99. 72 hit.
Congrats, Hank. What's out of play? 68, 69, 71, 82.
Why would 69 do that? 66. 99.
18. If this is 72, you have to apologize to us.

If this is 72, I'll keep doing my Rushmore's.

Otherwise.

87.

I love you guys.

I love you, Hank.

I love you too, Hank.

I love you guys.

I love you, Hank.

I love you, Hank. away I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway Today is another day to find you shying away I'll be coming for your love again Take on me Take on me

Take me home I'll be gone In a day or two So needless to say I'm odds and ends But that's me, I'm stumbling away Slowly learning that life is okay And say after me It's no better to be safe than sorry and take on me Take me home.

I'll be gone in a tale too.
