Mount Rushmore Season Is Back, David Baker, Bucks Parade And Fyre Fest

Speaker 1 Hey, pardon my take, listeners.

Speaker 2 You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Speaker 1 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boar's Head is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 1 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 1 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 1 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 1 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 2 On today's part in my take,

Speaker 2 we have our good friend David Baker, president and CEO of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Also, I mean, just full of stories, full of feel-good stories.

Speaker 2 Also, the return of Mount Rushmore season with the Mount Rushmore of

Speaker 2 teams that we'd like to eat, and then a bonus Mount Rushmore to mascots that we would like to eat. And we're going four deep on these drafts this year with Jake and Billy tag teaming.

Speaker 2 We're going to talk a little Bucks parade, maybe Jerry Jones basically saying that he'd commit murder for a Super Bowl, and then Fire Fest of the Week.

Speaker 2 Before we get to all of that, I'm not going back to college to be your friend. I'm going so I can get Uber One for students.
It saves you on Uber and Uber Eats.

Speaker 2 I'm there for $0 delivery fee on cheeseburgers, up to 10% off smoothies, and 6% Uber credits back on rides. Just to be clear, I'm there for savings, not whatever you think college is for.

Speaker 3 Get Uber One for students, a membership to save on Uber and Uber Eats. With deals this good, everyone wants to be a student.
Join for just $4.99 a month. Savings may vary.

Speaker 3 Eligibility and member terms apply.

Speaker 2 Okay, let's go.

Speaker 2 Now in the street, there is violence.

Speaker 2 And then a lot of soft work to be done.

Speaker 2 No place to hang out or washing.

Speaker 2 And then I can't blame all of the sun. Oh, no, we're gonna ride down to electric Track Avenue,

Speaker 2 and then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 2 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Elaine Trake Avenue.

Speaker 1 It's part of my take presented by

Speaker 2 School Sports.

Speaker 2 Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by GoldenAuctions.com. Go check them out right now if you're trying to get back into the card game or you're in the card game.

Speaker 2 We're going to be doing a pack rip, a rip, rip, and a pack. I don't even know if that's the right phrase later on this month.
Today is Friday, July 23rd.

Speaker 2 And PFT, I got to say, I think we should try to win an NBA championship

Speaker 2 as a podcast because it looks awesome.

Speaker 1 I just think that there should be more parades in general.

Speaker 1 Parades really only exist nowadays if you win a championship or like for an inauguration.

Speaker 1 That's pretty much it. Besides that, we don't get out.
We don't do ticker tape.

Speaker 2 Maybe like a 4th of July little small-town America parade. I pride.
Yeah, we just pride. Good call.

Speaker 1 Oh, that was canceled.

Speaker 2 I think the last two years. Why?

Speaker 1 It had bad tweets.

Speaker 2 Oh, got it.

Speaker 1 No, but I think that we need to normalize doing more parades. Parades need to be like small accomplishments.
Let's fucking get out there.

Speaker 2 Well, we did the Blake of the Year, which actually, by the way, is coming up next week.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, there definitely needs to be a parade of the year.

Speaker 2 The Takeys next Wednesday. We did give Blake Griffin a parade when he came.
We did give him a parade, but the Takeies next Wednesday get excited. Blake of the Year.

Speaker 1 But go ahead, Jake. Julie Football and I went to the ticker tape parade for the women's soccer.

Speaker 2 That's right. They had it down the Canyons of Heroes.
That's the thing is the Yankees got to win another title. They got to put 28 up there.

Speaker 1 Or the Mets.

Speaker 2 Yeah, or the Mets. But this parades are awesome.
It looks like I really do think that we should try our best to win a championship in a professional sport because

Speaker 2 that looks awesome. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Water dogs. Water dogs.

Speaker 1 Water dogs. Yeah, good joke, Hank.

Speaker 2 You know what?

Speaker 1 If they win, we should organize a dog parade. Yeah.
And we'll just do it. We'll do it on the Hudson River on the path over there.
And then we'll just have everybody bring their dogs out.

Speaker 1 How many dogs do you think we could get just of AWLs?

Speaker 2 Well, it has to be lacrosse fan AWLs. So maybe two?

Speaker 1 Yeah, maybe a couple dogs.

Speaker 2 A dog and a cat.

Speaker 1 Maybe one cat.

Speaker 2 We can a turtle. Someone's got a turtle.
Billy, you bring your hedgehog?

Speaker 1 Yeah, put a leash on one of your frogs. At least dozens.

Speaker 2 Dozens.

Speaker 2 Dozens of PLL. But no, we got the...
Are the water dogs playing this weekend?

Speaker 1 It's a bye week next week, Colorado Springs.

Speaker 2 You. See you there.

Speaker 1 Jake Mugh, Jake Marshall.

Speaker 2 Get excited. But yeah, that parade was awesome.
Giannis, the likability tour, keeps going. He did the freeze.

Speaker 2 Someone threw him a ball, and he pretended he was shooting a free throw, and he just stayed frozen for about four hours.

Speaker 2 That was awesome. PJ Tucker.
PJ Tucker.

Speaker 1 Every player, or every time a team wins a championship, there needs to be a role player that gets abnormally drunk.

Speaker 1 That's the drunk guy on your team that celebrates your hard. That was PJ Tucker.

Speaker 2 I also love PJ Tucker's speech because he was like, when I got here, they're like, you need to be a dog. And, but I said, no, there's dogs everywhere.
Actually, put the speech in because it's great.

Speaker 2 You know, it's crazy. That's what everybody, like, I came here.
They're like, yo, you got to like

Speaker 2 show, like, you got to be the dog. And I'm like,

Speaker 2 we got dogs. Like, they just ain't like,

Speaker 2 like, I got here, like, we already got dogs. They just don't know how to be dogs and we gonna be dogs and our dogs is crazy.
We got dogs you hear me Milwaukee we dogs

Speaker 2 PJ Tucker essentially is saying like fuck analytics even though analytics changed his whole career because he was on those Daryl Maury rockets. That's like when he excelled

Speaker 2 but fuck analytics if you just have enough dogs you can win a championship.

Speaker 1 Well that's also PJ Tucker's role is to be a dog.

Speaker 1 So he was just like saying you need dogs to win. That's him.
Yeah. So he was like, yeah, he was like defining his role.

Speaker 2 He had to teach everyone else how to be a dog.

Speaker 1 Sometimes you don't know that you're a dog until you see another dog. Until you bite.
That's me. Yeah.
Yeah. So it was a great parade.
I liked the bus driver, too.

Speaker 1 The bus driver was going like 25 miles per hour. He was ready to be done.
It was great. Like, yeah, I don't really blame the bus driver wanting to get home.

Speaker 1 Being a bus driver on a drunk bus in general has got to be like the hardest job in the world. Yes.

Speaker 1 Dealing with all the people in the back playing the same six songs that you hear every weekend over and over again.

Speaker 2 Beer cans hitting the side of your bus because people miss like throwing it up top.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's not an easy job at all to be a bus driver in a parade. And he was, yeah, he was going like pedaled to the metal.
It was like Vin Diesel driving that.

Speaker 2 Yes, it was very fast. Very fast.
And shout out Chris Middleton and Drew Holiday for making sure they were at the parade. I think they're going to Japan tomorrow, I think it is, or maybe tonight.

Speaker 2 So they didn't. They did the right thing.
That would have been terrible if they had to hop on a plane. Devin Booker's saddest flight ever.
But so that was that was the parade. What? Yeah.

Speaker 2 The day before the parade, Giannis also created a new drink with the half-sprite, half lemonade, no ice. Yes.
And did the 50 chicken nuggets? Was that European, by the way? No ice? I think it is.

Speaker 1 No, I think that's just being a smart consumer. You get more soda that way.

Speaker 2 I think it's something with, I think Europeans don't die.

Speaker 1 I think if you grow up with not a whole lot of money, you know the no ice trick. Right.
Because it's like you get extra probably 25% of the drink with it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and you don't need

Speaker 1 to waste it on ice. That was my move growing up.
I was a big no-ice guy. No ice.
And I can deal with a lukewarm drink if it means that I get more of it. But that's a delicious drink.

Speaker 1 The Sprite lemonade mix. It's fantastic.

Speaker 1 I tried to do the 50 Nuggets challenge, got through 36, but what I didn't say was I had a 20-piece nugget from Chick-fil-A also for lunch that day.

Speaker 2 It also is very funny because it was, I think Giannis was with his family and he was ordering it for everyone.

Speaker 1 Did he finish 50 Nuts? No, it couldn't be just for him, and they were minis. Yeah, right.
So there was a mini sandwich that comes in breakfast.

Speaker 1 And Billy did an extensive deep dive into the Chick-fil-A sandwich. And it's like a honey bun, right, Billy?

Speaker 2 Oh, so it's about

Speaker 2 the best.

Speaker 1 Okay, well,

Speaker 2 one of the greatest rivalries that goes on at part of my take is Billy touching the mic and Hank being like, stop touching the mic. Billy just tried to kick the mic into place.

Speaker 2 Well, because

Speaker 1 you can't touch this end of the mic, you can always touch that end.

Speaker 2 But you kicked it.

Speaker 2 So I'm like, yeah, there we go.

Speaker 1 You can always just sit up into the mic like you're doing right now.

Speaker 2 We should probably get two mics.

Speaker 1 It's a deep.

Speaker 2 What about headset mics on these guys?

Speaker 1 That would actually be fun. No, because then you hear Billy's deviated separately.

Speaker 2 That's true. That's true.
All right, Billy, give us the report.

Speaker 1 So 50 regular nuggets is around 2,000 calories, and

Speaker 1 50 chicken minis is about 4,000 calories.

Speaker 2 It's double more food.

Speaker 1 Because it's a bigger patty.

Speaker 2 Wait, 2,000 calories for 50 chicken nuggets? That's not even a full day. Yeah.
Right?

Speaker 1 It is a full day.

Speaker 2 That's not. That's not really.
Not for guys like us.

Speaker 1 It's a nutritional full day. We got to fucking

Speaker 1 bigger guys. In comparison, Joy Chestnut's

Speaker 1 77 hot dogs is around 20,000 calories. God.
I forget the number. That's way more.

Speaker 2 Way more.

Speaker 2 Way more.

Speaker 1 If he finished those 50 minis, though, that's more impressive than winning an NBA championship.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I don't think he did, but I agree with you.

Speaker 2 All right, so other things we got. Texas and Oklahoma are trying to leave the Big 12.
That was nothing like college football

Speaker 2 politics and realignment. I like the part where I'm pretty sure Texas AM was the team that leaked this at the SEC Media Day because Texas AM obviously doesn't want Texas in the SEC.

Speaker 2 They're very, very much against it.

Speaker 1 But they're trying to form a super league.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Yeah, they're trying to form a super league. It feels inevitable because you had both the SEC not deny it and then Texas and Oklahoma not deny it.

Speaker 2 And then everyone else in the Big 12 come out very strongly because they know that's the death of the Big 12. I would be sad if it happened just because I do like Big 12 football.

Speaker 2 But it also, I feel like we're heading towards a four-conference

Speaker 2 college football landscape.

Speaker 1 It is a very Texas thing to do, too. Texas, make no mistake about it, they always always think that they're going to be the hottest chick in the room, and they never are.

Speaker 1 But they think if I, if I'm doing like a Colin Coward extended analogy, it's like Texas is the most high-maintenance girl that you've ever dated.

Speaker 1 And they always need to be told how good they look all the time. They always need to feel like they're the most important part of your life.

Speaker 1 If you start playing too many video games over in the corner, they're going to go find the biggest guy in the room and start grinding on them, make sure that you notice that they're doing that.

Speaker 1 And then they're going to come back and be like, hey, this guy just said something mean to me. You should go fight him.

Speaker 2 The real analogy is that that girl, that same girl you just mentioned, she starts dating you, and then she picks your friends. Yes.

Speaker 2 Is what Texas is doing here because they're basically like, you can't hang out with these losers, TCU and Iowa State and Oklahoma State. Come hang out with these guys who have their act together.

Speaker 2 Well, I don't really like them. They could all beat me up.
Like Alabama and LSU could beat me up every year, but all right, fine, I'll do it.

Speaker 1 Texas is going to be in trouble, I think, if they go to the SEC because they're not Texas. Texas is not back yet.
They've been almost back for a while, and

Speaker 1 I think it'd be a big mistake. They still think that they're the Texas of old.

Speaker 2 So I assume that any team that goes, a Texas in Oklahoma will succeed in the SEC just because they will, they're already, I mean, Texas different than Oklahoma.

Speaker 2 Oklahoma has ruled the Big 12 for whatever, half a decade plus. But they'll get SEC players.
They'll start recruiting SEC talent. Everyone will probably, like, they'll just assimilate.

Speaker 2 Like, they'll probably get the shit kicked out of them for a little bit, but not even. Like, Oklahoma, if they went into the SEC, they would compete with everyone but Alabama.

Speaker 1 See, I don't understand that because Texas, right now,

Speaker 1 they're going to have the same recruiting base, which is going to be the state of Texas, and they're going to split the recruits with Oklahoma like they always do.

Speaker 1 But now they're going to lose, I think, more of the Texas players to other schools in the SEC.

Speaker 1 But if you can't dominate in the Big 12, being Texas and being the only school with the Longhorn network and all that extra money coming in, how do you think that it's going to be better for you going into a harder conference where they already have the SEC network where schools are getting more money?

Speaker 2 They'll get more money.

Speaker 2 The competition, like when you're recruiting SEC players, you basically say, hey, we're playing in the SEC with these guys. They'll be able to dip into talent pools that they don't dip into right now.

Speaker 1 Look at Texas A ⁇ M. I don't think that they are going to be dipping into it.

Speaker 2 But Texas A ⁇ M went from the Big 12 to the SEC, and they've assimilated very nicely.

Speaker 2 They're competing at a different level now than they were. You could make the argument Texas A ⁇ M has a path now to maybe compete for a national championship.

Speaker 2 I don't want to start old arguments, but they were

Speaker 2 just right there last year.

Speaker 2 They were fifth and they could have been fourth if you looked at it a different way.

Speaker 1 I don't know if that has as much to do with iron sharpens iron.

Speaker 1 I don't think that has much to do with recruiting as it does with coaching and the entire program at Texas being in just the shittiest possible position for the last, what, 15 years?

Speaker 1 10 years?

Speaker 2 I think it would all, I think the SEC just would, especially for a school like Texas and Oklahoma, they'd get their talent. They'd probably get some more.

Speaker 2 I mean, they wouldn't go in there and be beating everyone up, but eventually, you're playing in these big games. It is kind of a mini super league.
It means more, all that jazz.

Speaker 2 I know I'm just like sucking the SEC's dick right now, but I think they would probably like if you're gonna compete at a different level this is the path to do it the big winner in this is Nick Sabin for getting another assistant coach that he's spun off to a different program to come back into the conference so that he can get beat every year yeah yes yes so um yeah I mean it would be interesting I will be a little sad because it does feel like now everyone's gonna have to shuffle the deck again and then maybe once we get to four conferences everything will settle forever.

Speaker 1 I just don't really see how the recruiting pool would change that much because Texas has always been getting great recruits from Texas no matter what.

Speaker 1 And then occasionally, like with Charlie Strong, they tried to recruit out of Florida given his ties there. That didn't really work.
I don't see the recruiting pool changing enough to make it.

Speaker 1 Other things have to happen in Austin to make Texas a better school than just going to the SEC.

Speaker 2 I guarantee you they would get guys that want to play in the SEC that would play in another SEC program now are going to play at Texas.

Speaker 2 Because guys want to play, like they want to play in the conference that their family can see them if they're not going to stay at home and all that. So I think

Speaker 2 they would start dipping into different groups. And the SEC, guys want to play in the SEC now.
SEC makes NFL picks. That's just what they do.
They just churn them out.

Speaker 1 I want to see some teams that are just nowhere close to being either south nor east start joining the SEC because once that happens, then we know that realignment's definitely like once Ohio State tries to join the SEC, then we know that realignment is at the doorstep.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Full realignment into the four league team.

Speaker 1 So I'm looking at it right now.

Speaker 2 I don't know what Texas A ⁇ M's recruiting was 10 years ago, but they have a four-star from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. They have a four-star from Arkansas.
They have a four-star from Miami.

Speaker 2 Like, I'd have to imagine that being in the SEC helps that. So I don't know.
We'll see. And Oklahoma will be fine because Oklahoma is good anyway.
They just got to play defense. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, that's the thing. So we're going to see, obviously, when they play against like Ole Miss, you've got Link Effin, who doesn't play any defense whatsoever, now playing against Big 12 defenses.

Speaker 1 Yes. That's going to be great.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Over city. I don't know.

Speaker 2 Just all of a sudden, we're just going to do this whole realignment dance again. I thought we were done, but we're not done anymore.

Speaker 1 There's like certain levers that you pull when you're at Texas in order to make yourself relevant again. One is getting a new coach.

Speaker 1 One is just leaking word that maybe Jim Harbaugh or Nick Sabin is interested in moving to Austin.

Speaker 1 And then the other is just floating out word that you're thinking about putting your nuts on the table and making the Big 12 beg for you to stick around a little bit longer.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and they did this 10 years ago. They tried to go to the Pac-12.
They batted their eyes at the Pac-12, and then they got a bunch of TV money and everything. So, I don't know.
It's all weird.

Speaker 2 All right, so the other thing that's happening in Texas is Jerry Jones has basically said that he's going to kill a person.

Speaker 1 Yeah, kill a person or worse. He said,

Speaker 2 this is his quote. I'm not trying to be sacrilegious here, but the wait, is that a.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 I'm not trying to be sacrilegious here, but the facts are that I would, right now, now, if I could, and I knew I had a good chance to do it, I would do anything known to man to get into a Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 1 Hot seat, Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 2 Whoa.

Speaker 1 You think would Mike McCarthy die for a Super Bowl? That's the next step up for Mike Rabel, which is, I'll cut my penis off.

Speaker 1 If there's a coach out there, it's like, you can execute me at midfield after the Super Bowl is over, and I want to go out a winner.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's a.

Speaker 1 Smash me like a watermelon, Jerry.

Speaker 2 He wants to kill someone, I think.

Speaker 1 I think. Do you think you think Mike McCarthy would kneel down onto a cinder block and rest his head on it? Yes.
And have Jerry Jones smash his skull in?

Speaker 2 Yes. Mike McCarthy was a cool guy.
Mike, do you see those glasses?

Speaker 1 Yeah, he looks awesome.

Speaker 2 He showed up in?

Speaker 1 That's Callie Mike.

Speaker 2 That's yeah, that's Hard Knocks Mike. Yeah, he knows he's going to be on Hard Knox.

Speaker 1 Oh, I can't wait for him to do the Sean McVay shirtless in a swimming pool.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that would be a sight to be seen.

Speaker 1 Hard Knox with the Cowboys is going to be great. Jerry Jones is going to do, he's going to dominate the entire thing.
It might as well just be the Jerry reality show. I think we're two weeks away.

Speaker 2 I think we're two weeks. I saw it was like August 10th or something.

Speaker 1 I can hear the sprinklers. Two weeks from today, Hall of Fame game.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. And football.
Yeah, we have David Baker coming up talking about the Hall of Fame game. We actually, so, like I said, Wednesday is the takies.

Speaker 2 Get ready because Grit Week's coming up, too. We're going to do Grit Week, middle of August.
We'll actually need someone's house to watch Hard Knocks at.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's a tradition, isn't it?

Speaker 2 Yeah. So I don't know what city we'll be in, but we will need someone to let us come over and watch Hard Knocks at their house.

Speaker 1 Is that a Tuesday night thing?

Speaker 2 Tuesday night thing. Where is Grit Week? Tuesday.
Grit Week, we're going back to basics, baby.

Speaker 2 We're doing the Rust Belt with the addition of Washington, D.C. So we're doing D.C.,

Speaker 2 Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo. Maybe not fully guaranteed, but somewhere around there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we've kind of outlined our general route. Yeah.
And then once the guests start filling themselves in, we'll make little day trips out. Back to basics.

Speaker 2 We're going to fucking do it up. Grit week 2021.
And should we call it Grit Week 2021?

Speaker 1 This is Grit Week 2020 at the Olympics.

Speaker 2 I wish that's what I said to PFT earlier. I said I wish we had canceled the takeies.

Speaker 2 I wish we had canceled the takies last year so this year we could call it the 2020 takeies.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But I'm down for calling this Grit Week 2020.

Speaker 2 Okay. Even though we have the sign right there the chick just pointed out to.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was more of a

Speaker 1 day, grit day.

Speaker 2 That was fun. The 24-hour live stream was fucking fun.

Speaker 1 I'm still drunk.

Speaker 2 We're far enough away from it now where I can say it was fun.

Speaker 2 Mario Party was a revelation. Yeah, we've got to play some more.

Speaker 1 We should do that on the road. Yeah.

Speaker 2 On the bus, on the grid bus.

Speaker 1 A little Mario Party on the go.

Speaker 2 Hank just looked at us like, you guys. Well, we can play, we can't stream it, but we could definitely play.

Speaker 1 No, I wasn't talking about streaming. I was talking about just for us.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 All right. Let's get ready to do it.
So we have

Speaker 2 Mount Rushmore season. Mount Rushmore season is here.
Before we get to Mount Rushmore, it's brought to you by our friends.

Speaker 4 Lucy's the obvious choice for a true nicotine pouch connoisseurs. That's why their official nicotine pouch partner at Barstool Sports.

Speaker 4 They go up to 12 milligrams in strength and have unique shape that feels great.

Speaker 4 We all use the breakers. They're the only pouches with a hydration capsule inside.
They're a totally new kind of pouch, only available from Lucy.

Speaker 4 You pop it in your mouth, break it with your teeth, and it's instantly hydrated, releasing that nicotine faster. And it's a burst of flavor.
No other pouch has that. I promise you that.

Speaker 4 Gas station pouches get the job done, but once you've tried Lucy, you won't want anything else in your pocket.

Speaker 2 Okay, it is time. It is finally time.
It is Mount Rushmore season. We're ready to roll.
This year, Little Wrinkle, we have four teams drafting. Hank, PFT, myself, and then the combo of Billy and Jake.

Speaker 2 Let's just ask. Jilly.
Jilly, yeah. Let's just ask real quick,

Speaker 2 how did the meeting go beforehand when you guys were talking? Is there a strategy? Are you guys going to be able to work together? Is there a clear alpha? Give it to us.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 2 there it is. And that answers that.
And Jake gets to the mic first.

Speaker 1 If you saw Billy, Billy leaned forward to get to the mic, saw that Jake was going to beat him, and then steered away to the right and pretended that he wasn't.

Speaker 2 Yeah, like, oh, no, you go. No, no, no.
You go, you go. I didn't even want to talk.
All right, I'll go.

Speaker 1 No, it was Billy actually who made the alpha move to get us separate headsets so we could both hear. Ah, true alphas know when to concede.

Speaker 2 I don't know if that's an alpha move because he probably has... It's nothing to do with it.
Yeah, that is.

Speaker 2 And it also is not an alpha move because he probably was like, if there's only one headset, it's clearly going to go to Jake. Which is true.
Yeah. So he just got himself a headset.

Speaker 1 You know what Jake is? Jake's like a very supportive dad after a Little League baseball game, trying to find something positive that his son did to compliment him. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We have a master list, and we're just going to go on the fly and see how it goes. Are you going best player available or are you going for need?

Speaker 2 We'll see. All right, having discussed it over here.
So the draft today is going to be

Speaker 2 so all four professional sports leagues in America, we're going to be drafting.

Speaker 2 What's the actual definition that we're going to put on the top of the thing? What team does this?

Speaker 2 Shout out to the AWL. They sent us in for an FAQ and we read it and we decided to save it.
Yes. The official question was

Speaker 2 NFL, or not NFL, so we're doing all four sports. All four sports players.
Power rankings based on how likely I am to eat the meat of the mascot.

Speaker 2 Okay, so are we picking mascots or are we picking team names?

Speaker 1 I don't think that we should do the true mascots. So for example, I don't think it should be like the San Diego chicken or whatever.

Speaker 2 Right.

Speaker 1 It's going to be, I don't know, a Golden State Warrior.

Speaker 2 Right. I would assume a Warrior or something.
Or if you wanted to keep with San Diego, you would actually eat a

Speaker 2 priest? A priest. You would eat a priest.

Speaker 1 Yeah, or you could go for the...

Speaker 2 That's what a charger is?

Speaker 2 The Padres. Padre.

Speaker 2 I didn't know what a fucking Padre was either.

Speaker 1 He's father in Spanish.

Speaker 2 All right, so here we go. So here's how we're going to select the order.
It's going to be lottery number. Everyone pick a number.
Closest to it gets to select the order.

Speaker 2 So they get to just decide what the order is going to be for today's show. And again, these are not official numbers.
So if you hit it, it doesn't count on your permanent record. Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. In that case, I'm going to go with 47.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 50. Okay.

Speaker 2 Jake, Billy?

Speaker 1 69.

Speaker 2 All right. I'll go

Speaker 2 21.

Speaker 1 Hank, that was a dick move.

Speaker 1 You just priced this right at him.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Now, if you have to have like three numbers to work with,

Speaker 1 anything over 69, we win.

Speaker 2 Oh my god, it's gonna be 48. It's gonna be 48!

Speaker 2 That's perfect. All right, so PFT, you decide the order.

Speaker 1 Hank's going last. Okay, it's gonna be me, Big Cat, Jilly, Hank.

Speaker 2 Okay, and then it's a snake draft, so we're coming back around.

Speaker 1 We invented the snake draft. We did them.

Speaker 2 We did. Everyone remember the time we got caught in the snake in Vegas?

Speaker 1 Oh, it was so hot. Let's stay out of that.

Speaker 2 Let's stay out of getting eaten by the snake again. We can do this.
We feel good about Mount Rushmore season. Okay, here we go.
PFT. All right.
All four major sports.

Speaker 1 1-1. The first overall pick in this draft,

Speaker 1 I'm going to go with a nugget.

Speaker 2 Ooh. Is that a gold nugget?

Speaker 1 Well, so that's what we have to discuss.

Speaker 2 Yeah, well, I mean,

Speaker 2 because

Speaker 2 it's 100% a gold nugget. It's gold nuggets.

Speaker 1 If you just use the word that the team is named after, which is what we're doing.

Speaker 2 Which is a nugget, but they're not a gold nugget. No, they are.
Yeah, that's nice. They were named after golden niggas.

Speaker 2 They were nuggets. I know nuggets of gold.

Speaker 1 But the team name is not gold nuggets.

Speaker 2 No, no, no, no. I don't think they're ever nuggets.

Speaker 1 Oh, it does work.

Speaker 2 But it's just a terrible pick. Yeah, it's a terrible pick.
Imagery.

Speaker 1 That's what I wanted to talk about. Like, in an instance like that, can we transfer the meaning of the word

Speaker 2 to the scene? No, no, no.

Speaker 2 It's what it is. It's you were eating a nugget of gold.

Speaker 2 I have some similar answers to you, PFD. I wouldn't have picked it, like, that was more for later rounds, kind of like when you're out of good answers.
Yeah. But hey.

Speaker 2 Well, no, in that case, I wouldn't have to. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa.
What?

Speaker 1 It's something that we have to discuss because we didn't step to ground.

Speaker 2 We didn't know. We should have asked before I have to take the actual Mountain Source season off to a continuous start.

Speaker 2 You could have asked these questions before you said you stepped up to the podium. You literally said 1-1 is the next.

Speaker 2 You could have asked beforehand and then switched your answer.

Speaker 1 We didn't know until five minutes ago whether or not we were taking the actual mascot or we were taking the team name. I feel like that's something we need to discuss.

Speaker 2 Adam Silver doesn't walk up to the podium, say a name, and then go, oh, wait, actually, I'm coming back changing it.

Speaker 1 I think we need to reassess then, if that's the case.

Speaker 2 You gave a terrible answer, got told it was a terrible answer, and then wanted to change your answer. That's

Speaker 2 not the thing. Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 I will say that he no.

Speaker 2 I vote he can change it one time, this one time, just to start. Because this is the start of Mount Rushmore season.
It's basically a false start on Mount Rushmore season.

Speaker 1 You vote yes.

Speaker 2 I do not know that. Dave votes no.

Speaker 2 I vote no.

Speaker 2 Billy votes no. So you get a nugget of gold.
Wait.

Speaker 1 There's chicken minis anyway. Jake and Billy don't get to vote.
Yeah, they do.

Speaker 2 They get one vote. Yeah, yeah.
They voted no. They get one vote, not two.
They don't need to vote. Otherwise, it's uneven.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 They get one vote between the two of them. Okay, well, then it's still.

Speaker 2 It looks like I want it on the record that I sided with PFT.

Speaker 1 Thank you, big guy. Yep.

Speaker 2 No problem.

Speaker 2 Do we have an alliance for this moment?

Speaker 1 For sure. Let's fuck them up.

Speaker 2 All right. My first pick, I will go.

Speaker 2 I actually, I went through all the teams and I was like, what is just the most edible thing? And I think it's the Miami Marlins.

Speaker 2 I would take the marlins I would eat a marlin I think that's something people actually eat I believe so I they look delicious they're cool fucking fish also you can do the thing where you catch the fish you eat the fish and then you make a fake marlin and you put it over your TV and you get to do the thing where you pose next to the marlin that's like dangling by its steel next to you correct so that's a great pick they give thank you thank you i appreciate it also if you cut off the the snout of a marlin that's actually a car stick good point so i just use that as well weapon.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Like a Native American.
Just use everything.

Speaker 1 Correct. You know that marlins aren't actually, they're not swordfish.

Speaker 1 That's the type you eat.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but you can still eat a marlin, can you not?

Speaker 2 Probably.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 1 We choose the buffalo.

Speaker 2 Thank you for that.

Speaker 2 You're taking a bill? Yeah. You were taking

Speaker 1 the bills. You're eating a bill.
You're eating a guy named Bill. You're eating yourself, Billy.

Speaker 2 You're sucking your own dick.

Speaker 2 Jesus Christ. I thought it was a buffalo.
buffalo. Is it not?

Speaker 1 No, it's Buffalo Bill.

Speaker 2 It's a Bill. It's a Bill.
It's a guy named Bill.

Speaker 1 It's a wild Bill. You're eating a dead guy.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 you just did what PFT did, even though you voted against PFT being able to change it. Exactly.
I just really like

Speaker 1 Buffalo steaks and stuff.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but that's not what you're eating.

Speaker 1 I know, but I was really enamoring.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but Billy, I also think Billy's right. I think Billy, the Bills are a buffalo.

Speaker 1 No, you really understand that Buffalo is the name of the city, not the name of the. It's actually even a worse pick than the Denver Nets because they're not Buffalo.

Speaker 2 The city of Buffalo mascot is because of his name. Correct.
That's such a good point.

Speaker 1 Wait, but the imagery.

Speaker 2 The mascot.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, we get it. The mascot is Billy Buffalo.

Speaker 2 Right, but we said we weren't going to eat mascots.

Speaker 1 I thought we were eating mascots.

Speaker 2 I thought we were eating names. Jesus.

Speaker 2 It's the name of the team.

Speaker 2 So I'm eating a Marlin.

Speaker 2 You're eating a Bill.

Speaker 1 Jake already knows that he fucked up. Jake, you should have let Billy pick the first one.
God damn it. This is actually so good.

Speaker 2 So we're going after the names, not the matchups.

Speaker 2 First, Mount Rushboard, because we really suck.

Speaker 1 Listen, we haven't had preseason

Speaker 2 going into it. Okay, all right, Hank.
Let's see what you got.

Speaker 2 1-4, Milwaukee Bucks. Yep.
Okay, that's it. Edible.
That's kind of what I was about with you. We're doing big cats.
Go down and listen. What's actually edible? Yep.

Speaker 2 And then my number two, Tampa Bay Lightning. Ooh.
Eat lightning crap thunder. Oh, okay.
I like that. Okay, okay.

Speaker 2 No. I'm picking this one, Billy.

Speaker 2 Which one do you want?

Speaker 1 We are eating something that you physically eat, and it's an Anaheim duck.

Speaker 2 Ooh, nice one. That's good.
Duck, it's good. Added on my list as well.

Speaker 1 Duck is actually my favorite meat.

Speaker 2 Okay, I. If you had the first pick, you could have taken it.
I'm going to eat. Shut the fuck up, man.

Speaker 2 I'm going to eat something that I, like, would be cool because they don't exist anymore, but I'm going to eat a Toronto raptor. I'm going to eat a raptor, a dinosaur.
That's pretty.

Speaker 2 I mean, imagine how expensive. You think, like, Kobe beef is expensive? How about a fucking raptor beef? Yep.

Speaker 1 Just tastes like chicken.

Speaker 2 Okay, great.

Speaker 2 Good pick. I'm not eating a guy named Bill.

Speaker 1 It is a fraud dinosaur, though.

Speaker 2 I don't care. I'd be a fucking rich man to be like, yeah, I've eaten some dinosaur.

Speaker 1 Okay, duck was going to be my next pick. That's a great pick on Jake's part.

Speaker 1 So instead, I'm going to go with a diamondback.

Speaker 1 That does taste like chicken. Rattlesnake.
Rattlesnake's actually delicious if you fry it up. You get a little dipping sauce.
Yep. And then my next one is going to be...

Speaker 1 There's so many nervous little birds out there in the NFL. If you want to pick an NFL team, you either have to decide between like a human, a cat, or a nervous bird.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So instead, I'm going to go with...

Speaker 2 A penguin. Ooh.
I would eat a penguin. That's fucked up.

Speaker 2 That is fucked up. That's really fucked up.
No, that's not. Dude, after all they're dealing with with climate change and their entire world's getting

Speaker 2 no, they're overpopulated.

Speaker 1 I'm culling the herd.

Speaker 2 Man, that is kind of fucked up. I'm not going to lie.
Like, I'm just sad.

Speaker 1 You have to admit, though, like, their diet gives them a nice layer of fat.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's probably a delicious treat.

Speaker 2 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 2 Jesus.

Speaker 2 All right. I'll eat.
I'm next going to eat. I'm going to eat a Tampa Bay Ray.
I'm going to eat a Ray.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 2 You can can eat those, right?

Speaker 1 There's not a lot of meat on the Ray.

Speaker 2 It's still meat.

Speaker 1 It's probably poisonous.

Speaker 2 Is it? Or probably.

Speaker 1 I don't think that. No, stingrays don't have poison.

Speaker 2 Yeah. And I also

Speaker 2 do hold the record for the most stingray pets. So

Speaker 2 at the Shed Aquarium, what did you just say?

Speaker 2 Steve Irwin. Yeah, Steve Irwin.
So I'm getting revenge for Steve Irwin. But the poison.
No, that's their stinger.

Speaker 1 He just got stinging.

Speaker 2 Which also is a car stick. I now have two car sticks.

Speaker 1 He got stabbed in the heart. I don't think it was a venom issue.
Yeah, it wasn't like he'd pet it.

Speaker 2 We eat a lot of rays. Have you?

Speaker 1 No. Rays are actually very friendly as long as you don't swim directly over them and yell at them in an Australian accent.

Speaker 2 So back off.

Speaker 1 We're going with a dish that the Japanese do really well, dolphins.

Speaker 2 Ah, that's fucked up. Also, after

Speaker 2 everything we've done to try and educate people on the terrors of dolphin on the show, you can just go down the street and get a foot-long tune at Subway. The worst part about killing a...

Speaker 2 a dolphin at this point. And the worst part about killing a dolphin is they know you're about to kill it.
They'll look you in the eyes and be like, really, bro? This guy's going to do this to me?

Speaker 2 This guy's going to kill me. They can feel pain.
Are you going to kill the dolphin slowly?

Speaker 1 Old-fashioned way, harpoon.

Speaker 2 Just choke it out. Just bring them into a cove and slaughter them all.

Speaker 1 That's the old-fashioned way is just stabbing a dolphin with a harpoon.

Speaker 2 Dolphins would make good MMA fighters and never show their neck. Right.
It's just one big, long one. You get the big blowhole, too.
Yeah. You'd probably plug that blowhole.

Speaker 1 You stuff it? Stuff blowhole.

Speaker 2 All right, Hank, coming back around.

Speaker 2 This is my last two, right? Yeah. Uh, Kansas City Royals, Eat the Rich.
Oh, nice, Hank. Good one.
Jeff Bezos. For my final, yeah, I mean, everyone says Eat the Rich.
I want to see how it tastes.

Speaker 2 Uh, and my final one, I'll go with the Minnesota Twins.

Speaker 2 Guys, twins. Twins, yeah.

Speaker 1 Surprised you didn't take the red wings. Okay,

Speaker 2 Billy, Jake,

Speaker 2 They're having trouble now.

Speaker 2 Alright.

Speaker 1 Do people actually eat that?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Apparently, people in Europe eat broncos.

Speaker 2 Oh. Horse.
Interesting.

Speaker 1 I think, do the Spanish eat horse?

Speaker 1 I think it was in, like, the Swedish Ikea they were eating horse.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's right.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 Now, if if I had to choose between a horse, I would probably go with a colt or a Philly over a Bronco, right?

Speaker 1 I feel like the Bronco would be tough and stringy from all the'cause it's an active outdoor animal.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But I feel like aren't Phillies like Philadelphians? No, it's a horse. Philly.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's a horse. A horse.
I know it's a Philly.

Speaker 2 It's a female Philly. Yeah, but

Speaker 2 do they mean it that way?

Speaker 1 I don't know. Then why aren't the Phillies.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I don't know. That's actually...

Speaker 2 We've gotten way ahead of our skis here.

Speaker 2 All right, my last pick. I'm going to go with a drink.
I'll go with the Lakers. I'm going to just drink a whole lake.

Speaker 2 Minneapolis Lakers.

Speaker 1 Now, is that people who go to lakes?

Speaker 2 Then I'll eat them. They probably are full of water.

Speaker 1 Because I was thinking that about the brewers. I was like.

Speaker 2 An actual brewer? Well, whatever it is, I feel confident with my pick.

Speaker 2 If it's drinking a lake, great. If it's eating someone who's on a lake, that's also great.
They're probably rich. Yeah, they're probably rich.
They're probably like an orthodontist.

Speaker 2 And they also probably, if they spend a lot of time on the lake, have a decent amount of water in their body.

Speaker 2 Okay. TFT.

Speaker 2 I'm going to go with the Kraken.

Speaker 2 Okay. That actually makes sense.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And also, it's a rum as well. So it could be, I could get fucked up off the rum, or if you want to take it as the mythical creature, it's like Kraken calamari, giant calamari.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 all right, so anything, what did we miss? Do you want to do a quick speed round of mascots? Because people are going to be like, why didn't you do mascots as well?

Speaker 2 Gritty would have been my number one. Yeah,

Speaker 1 Gritty was mine too.

Speaker 2 I would have probably eaten that the magic, the stuffed the magic. He looks delicious.

Speaker 1 I think the Philadelphia Fanatic would be pretty delicious, too. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 So I was thinking about the devils, just like take them out for, you know, society's purposes. Should we do the mascots real quick? I have not prepared for that.

Speaker 2 Do you want to stop real quick and we can prepare and then we can just s pretend that we didn't take a stop?

Speaker 2 Okay. Let's do a bonus Mount Rushmore because who knows if that one was good.
Let's do the mascots. So we're now we're going to pick Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 2 You make two graphics, double Mount Rushmore to start off Mount Rushmore season. This is based solely on deliciousness of the mascot and how it looks.

Speaker 2 So we're actually eating the physical mascot if it was real and had meat on it, right? Yep.

Speaker 1 So if like the furry thing that runs,

Speaker 2 yes. Yes.
Right. Exactly.
Okay.

Speaker 2 PFT.

Speaker 1 All right. My 1-1 is going to be Gritty.
Okay. Gritty from the flyers.
He looks delicious. He looks like he's already.

Speaker 2 Do you want to reverse the order?

Speaker 1 He looks like he's already covered in the the middle.

Speaker 2 Do you want to reverse the order? That's actually fair. You're right.
No, I don't think that we see it. You're right.
All right. Hank, you go 1-1.
All right.

Speaker 2 My 1-1 is going to be gritty.

Speaker 2 I'm throwing a flag on it. It is fair to reverse the order.

Speaker 1 I'm throwing a flag on it.

Speaker 2 Also, we cut out the part where we decided to do this, and Hank said he would do 1-1 gritty. So P.O.D.
then tried to steal it. All right, Billy and Jake.

Speaker 2 By the way, I only saw Jake looking up mascots during the intermission when we decided to do this.

Speaker 1 Dude, Lucky the Leprechaun. Oh, you came shit out of a leprechaun.

Speaker 2 You and Kyrie Irving? Yeah,

Speaker 1 he cursed himself. Okay.
But you get esophageal cancer afterwards because, remember, he sprained the ankle that he used to step on Lucky.

Speaker 2 Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I just think it would be sick to eat a leprechaun.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I think that's.
It's riches. Yeah, probably.
It's anti-Irish at least.

Speaker 2 All right, my first one. I'm going to eat the Casey Wolf from the Chiefs.
That wolf looks delicious.

Speaker 2 Like whenever he's doing fun shit in the end zone, he's got a big-ass belly.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's always riding around on the segue, too. So you know he's not working too hard.

Speaker 2 Right, not a lot of muscle in it. A lot of tender little meat.
Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 I'm going to take

Speaker 1 Mariner Moose.

Speaker 2 Okay, good pick. I had him on my list.

Speaker 1 That's a value pick because there's just a lot of meat to work with.

Speaker 2 Yep.

Speaker 1 Yep. You kill a moose, you eat good for at least a couple months.
And then after I eat the moose, I'm going to be so full, I'm not going to be very hungry.

Speaker 1 So my second pick is going to be the football team because they don't have have a mascot.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 1 So, I'm just going to give myself a little break to recover. So, that's a pass pick.

Speaker 2 Yes. Okay.

Speaker 2 My second pick, I'm going to go with, I'm going to eat Chuck the Condor. Remember, the Clippers tried to make it a big thing.
Ballmer was like, I'm going to make a mascot. He looks delicious.

Speaker 2 Chuck the Condor. He's got all kinds of weird colors.
He's a fucking stupid ass mascot. I don't even know what a Condor has to do with LA, but Chuck the Condor, you're getting your ass eaten by me.

Speaker 1 All right, Big Cat, I know you're Mr. Meat.
So we're going to go with Oklahoma City's Rumble the Bison.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 1 good pick. Got a lot of meat.

Speaker 2 Rumble. Okay.
Okay. Hank, you have two.
That literally was my next pick. I will go with Pierre the Pelican.

Speaker 2 Scary looking dude. Kind of like Chuck the Condor.
Yeah, but he's much scarier. Yes, I agree.

Speaker 1 All beak, though. Yeah.

Speaker 2 That's more, again, more. I'm just like a hero.
I'm trying to help the world by taking him out. Eating him.

Speaker 1 Also, you get to eat whatever's still inside of his beak. So there could be bonus fish.
That's true.

Speaker 2 And then I'll go with

Speaker 2 not a lot of great mascots. I'll go with the Cardinals Rally Squirrel, is apparently their mascot.
You like squirrel? Squirrel could be good. Squirrel could be good.

Speaker 2 Yeah, if you're in the woods, I feel like if you were

Speaker 2 forced to survive on your own, a squirrel could get you by. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. I've eaten a squirrel.
Yeah. How was it? You just eat the hind legs.

Speaker 1 We're going to go with Benny the Bull.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's mean. That's some TV.
He's one of the best. He's one of the best.
Boom. Yeah.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 2 This one's kind of a fucked up one, but the Giants, San Francisco Giants mascot, Lou the Seal. Yeah.
Cute as fuck. Cute as a button.
I would club that seal to death and eat him so fast.

Speaker 1 I had that on my list, too.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he's a cute one.

Speaker 1 Again, most of my picks, I think, come down to what type of meat is on it. I think a seal has a lot of blubber, too.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I'm going for pretty much cuteness, like the, you know, like a muscular mascot. It's like, eh, I don't want that.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, so there are a lot of mascots out there that have

Speaker 1 bear-like tendencies. So I needed to determine: am I going to have a Grizzly? Am I going to have Clark the Cub? Am I going to have Boston?

Speaker 1 I'm going to go with Jazz Bear.

Speaker 2 Oh.

Speaker 1 Jazz Bear, if you look him up, Jazz Bear looks like the most delicious of the bear mascots. He's like a little bit furry, a little bit fat.
He's pretty cute, too. So I'm going to go with Jazz Bear.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's sure.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, that's a good pick. He is very furry.
He actually looks like...

Speaker 2 Teen Wolf. Yep.

Speaker 1 And then for my last one, I think I'm going to go with

Speaker 1 I'm gonna go with the Toronto Raptor.

Speaker 1 He's kind of a goofy guy, not a very intimidating-looking raptor as far as dinosaurs go, especially when he's blown up, when they have the inflatable version of the raptor.

Speaker 1 Yep, I feel like that there's a lot of meat on that bone, so I'm gonna go with the raptor.

Speaker 2 Okay,

Speaker 2 I will go with

Speaker 2 Orbit the Astros because he is the cutest of the mascots. Also, just a weird, funny-looking dude.
Don't know what he actually is. I think he might just be a star reincarnated.
What is he?

Speaker 2 He's a green.

Speaker 1 He's an alien.

Speaker 2 He's a green alien. Want to eat that fucker? Big time.
He's so cute. Look at his hat.
He is. Yeah.
Ever notice how? I would love to eat him.

Speaker 1 Ever notice how mascots don't wear pants? Yeah, it is weird. Really strange.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and then they photoshopped that huge dick on Clark Cub. Yep.
All right, last pick for Jake and Billy.

Speaker 1 Do you want to take yours?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Alright, go for it. We'll do the cubs because it's like bear veal.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's true. So that a young baby - baby cub, yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. What about the penis? You're gonna eat that? There is no penis.
Well, you're all eating penises, too.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, no, you and my animals are. I'm not sure that Orbit has a.

Speaker 2 I don't think Orbit has a dick. I'm looking at him right now.
I do not think he does.

Speaker 1 I don't think the Cubs have a dick.

Speaker 2 I can show you a picture of him having one. Lots of pictures of Clark.
He has a dick?

Speaker 1 Huge wanger. Big, big wanger.

Speaker 2 Mm-hmm. All right, Hank.

Speaker 2 I will go with Al the Octopus from the Red Wings.

Speaker 1 You hate calamari.

Speaker 2 Well, yeah, but calamari is like fried. Like, you can make octopus taste good.
You don't have to just throw it in a deep fryer.

Speaker 1 Grilled octopus?

Speaker 2 Yeah, if you make octopus well, you get a good chef to actually cook it up.

Speaker 1 It's a nice, you know, spices. Have you ever eaten octopus? Sure.

Speaker 1 I don't think that you have. What part of calamari do you not like?

Speaker 2 I think calamari is just fried sponge, basically.

Speaker 1 So you don't like the octopus part?

Speaker 2 I don't like the fact that it's fried. I think octopus, if you make it in a good way, is good.
But fried fried calamari, people just like fried food. They're just asking for some fried sponge.

Speaker 2 Fried food is good, yes. Right.
But

Speaker 1 do you eat onion rings?

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 1 And you don't eat calamari.

Speaker 2 I don't like calamari. I think it's a trash appetizer.

Speaker 2 This is not about that. I don't know what we're talking about.
That's what we're talking about now. We're talking about, and this is, by the way,

Speaker 2 this isn't like if you're in a restaurant, if you're in a restaurant and you have all the options in the world, no, I'm not going to eat fucking calamari.

Speaker 2 If it was a question of these are the mascots you have to choose to eat from, correct? All of a sudden, octopus becomes a lot more appetizing.

Speaker 1 What about Hugo, a single hornet?

Speaker 2 That seems like something you would pick. Yeah.

Speaker 2 All right, so we'll put up both graphics. The graphics with the mascots, we'll just put the actual mascots because it's a visual thing.

Speaker 2 All right, Mount Rushmore season. I don't know if that started well.
We'll see. I think it did.
It was okay. It's bumpy.
It's been a while. Are you doing polls this year? I don't care.
Sure. Or not.

Speaker 2 I don't care. Billy, you seem like you have a strong.

Speaker 2 I think we'd win a lot. You guys would win a lot? All right, so then let's put a bet out there.
How many times do you have to win for it to be considered a lot?

Speaker 2 Jake. You have to win 50% of the polls.

Speaker 1 So there's four teams.

Speaker 1 So we have to win more than 25%

Speaker 1 to make it a lot.

Speaker 2 That's not really a lot. Yeah, that's not a lot.
That's just like a statistical.

Speaker 1 You don't have to do like above 50%.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think you do.

Speaker 2 Over 50% would be a lot. How about this conversation? Two out of three every week would be a lot.
Yeah, that would be a lot.

Speaker 1 What about over 40%?

Speaker 1 No, let's do like 30%.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 2 no,

Speaker 2 it's not a lot. No, it's not.
Okay, let's not do polls.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we just won't do it then. You guys don't like polls, do you?

Speaker 2 I said, I'm fine with it. I want to do polls.
I'm competitive.

Speaker 1 Are you? Yeah. Doesn't sound like you are.

Speaker 2 Jake, what do you think for your team? You decide.

Speaker 1 For a benchmark?

Speaker 2 No, you just decide whether we're going to do the polls or not.

Speaker 1 Sure.

Speaker 2 Okay. All right.
We'll listen to Jake.

Speaker 1 Winner gets the best in the office title.

Speaker 2 Okay, perfect.

Speaker 2 All right, that's the start of Mount Rushboard season.

Speaker 1 We got David Baker from the Hall of Fame coming up next, but before we get to him, so y'all know that we're big fans of Cracker Barrel.

Speaker 2 And this holiday season, I will be sat at their table with a big plate of country-fried turkey.

Speaker 5 And Brandon, I'll be right there with you, and I'll check it off my Christmas list in the country store while I'm at it. It'll make a nice holiday tradition.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's so cute of you.

Speaker 5 Enjoy all the more holiday traditions only at Cracker Barrel.

Speaker 2 Up next, David Baker.

Speaker 2 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. He's a recurring guest.
It is the president and CEO of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. He is the one who knocks.
It is David Baker.

Speaker 2 We haven't seen you in a couple years. We actually were reminiscing the last time we saw you in Miami, right before the world went to shit.
So it's great to see you. It's great to talk to you.

Speaker 2 It's great that there is a Hall of Fame game this year again.

Speaker 2 How are you doing? Are you excited to have fans back in the stadium? Is Canton ready to go?

Speaker 1 What's the vibe like?

Speaker 6 Yeah, the last time I saw you guys, I think it was Super Bowl 55 in Miami.

Speaker 6 And I was knocking on the door to get you guys out of my room.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 6 Because you were kind of hanging out there. But, you know, we've all been through a lot.

Speaker 6 You know, 18 months of real challenge and

Speaker 6 sometimes fear.

Speaker 6 But we are excited to have the first full stadium for football in 18 months that we will have with a Hall of Fame game that'll kick off the NFL's 102nd season.

Speaker 6 And then we're going to have a couple great enshrinements, a gold jacket presentation. It is going to be, I think, one of the greatest gatherings in football ever.
We'll have 161 Hall of Famers.

Speaker 6 Fox will do the game, and then the NFL network and ESPN will. the enshrinements.

Speaker 6 And I hope somehow you guys will have the opportunity to come here, be part of it, and come visit your goldfish.

Speaker 2 Larry, yes. RIP, Larry.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we would love to do something like that. I'm excited to see a football stadium that's absolutely filled with people as well.
I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 This is one of my favorite weekends of the year because it's like it's that first robin of spring that reminds you that football is officially coming back. And so I can't wait for it.

Speaker 1 I'm curious to know, you guys have

Speaker 1 a lot of big names this year. Yeah, like Peyton Manning, Charles Woods, and a lot of big names that are getting inducted in the Hall of Fame.
How did you determine which guy gets to go last?

Speaker 6 Well, normally I will tell you,

Speaker 6 that's an extra interesting question, PFT, because normally what we do is we put kind of the most popular marketing guy last so that the viewers will hang in there and do it.

Speaker 6 But in recent years, you know, starting probably when I got here with Michael Strahan to Kurt Warner, those guys have gone on after midnight because the speeches end up being so long.

Speaker 6 This year we have what we say is twice the fun in 21 because we have the Centennial class, which, again, that was originally going to be 20 Hall of Famers for 2020, which was going to be the most ever.

Speaker 6 We had to cancel the Centennial, and then we went with 2021, which has Peyton Manning, Charles Woodson,

Speaker 6 you know, Tom Flores, a whole lot of other popular guys. So we have 28.

Speaker 6 guys who will be enshrined in these two classes. We took care of nine who were posthumous the last night of the draft, Saturday night of the draft, and enshrined those posthumous Hall of Famers.

Speaker 6 That leaves us 19. So on Saturday night, we will do,

Speaker 6 let's see, we will do 11 of the guys,

Speaker 6 and then the rest will be done, 12 of them actually on Saturday night. We'll do seven on

Speaker 6 Sunday night, and that'll be the class of 2021. And what we've done this year is we've asked guys to keep their speeches to six minutes.

Speaker 6 And at eight minutes, we will play off like the Academy Awards where guys get. And if they don't leave, finally it's going to be up to me to go out there and drag them away from the microphone.

Speaker 6 But I think everybody is abiding by that and doing a good job. And I think it's going to be really, really special.

Speaker 2 So this class, like PFT said, has some big names. I was watching the video of you presenting.
It was a little different because some of it had to be outside, so it wasn't all Knox.

Speaker 2 The Peyton Manning one, though, I was very curious. You did a great job of surprising him.

Speaker 2 Can you surprise Peyton Manning with the Hall of Fame? Because he was born a Hall of Famer. Like, he knew he was going to be in the Hall of of Fame essentially his entire career.

Speaker 2 Was there a moment maybe when the cameras were off? It's like, yeah, I knew this was going to happen. Maybe not exactly like this, but we obviously were going to have this interaction at some point.

Speaker 6 You know, Big Cat, I'll tell you,

Speaker 6 I'm not sure his entire life he thought he was going to be in the Hall of Fame because at some point he was an eight-year-old or 10-year-old guy that was starting that journey.

Speaker 6 And he started with an incredible dad, Archie Manning. I just love Archie.
He's done so much for the game. But, you you know, his dream was to probably be the best he could be.

Speaker 6 And he knew it took 10 seconds for him to get in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 6 You know, Mike Chappell from Indianapolis did his presentation. And I think all he said was, Peyton Manning, drop the mic.

Speaker 6 And

Speaker 6 he didn't have to make a presentation. Everybody knew he was going to be.
Peyton knew I was going to be knocking on his door. I knew I was going to be knocking on his door.

Speaker 6 But the question was, how could we do it effectively? So frankly, Peyton's wife and

Speaker 6 some of the guys, Patrick Smythe at the Denver Broncos, helped us a great deal. And we tried to create something that would be special for him.

Speaker 6 And he has great respect for the people who invested in his life. And so

Speaker 6 we had his high school coach on video. We had his college coaches, some of whom were in person.

Speaker 6 We had his...

Speaker 6 every pro coach that had coached him kind of be there at Mile High.

Speaker 6 And then finally, I walked in.

Speaker 6 And

Speaker 6 I want to tell you, it was special for him.

Speaker 6 And here's what I learned about this. And

Speaker 6 I know you guys love the game, so you'll get this.

Speaker 6 When I told him that he was going to Canton and we were going to guard his legacy forever and thank you for all he's done for the game.

Speaker 6 I don't think I was telling that 45-year-old polished pitch man that we know Peyton Manning to be.

Speaker 6 I think I was telling that eight-year-old or 10-year-old kid with all these people who helped him get here.

Speaker 6 And it was dramatic. It was special.
And then we went on to a number of other places. That night, I ended up with Calvin Johnson in Detroit.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I wanted to ask a question about Calvin. Was there any moment where you were like, hey, Calvin, are you really retired? Because he's a guy who could.

Speaker 2 step in tomorrow and produce for an NFL team. He retired a little short.

Speaker 2 Did that ever come up in the conversation when you guys did the deciding who's going to be in the class or maybe when you knocked on his door in Detroit?

Speaker 6 Yeah, it didn't come up in my conversation with him. For us, we were talking about what he'd contributed already.
And when I got there, you know, it was like 10 o'clock at night.

Speaker 6 It was 19 degrees below zero. I knocked on his door.
He comes. We weren't allowed to go inside because of NFL COVID policies.
So he had to come out. He's barefooted.

Speaker 6 And

Speaker 6 again, he was overwhelmed. He was crying.
And at the end of the time, when the guys had all their footage and everything, he turns to me and he says, are you going back to Canton?

Speaker 6 And I said, no, we've got a few more doors to knock on. And I'll never forget what he said.
He said, oh,

Speaker 6 you're going to go collect more tears, aren't you?

Speaker 6 And again, that's what it means to these guys. They're not thinking about how much money they make.
They're not thinking about their statistics.

Speaker 6 They're thinking about their journey. They're thinking about their mom and dad or their dad, who kept them from quitting, or their mom that drove them to practice, or

Speaker 6 their coach that helped them to be more, or their teammates that got them there. It was very, very cool.

Speaker 1 You mentioned Archie Manning, but also I feel like we need to talk a little bit about Olivia Manning.

Speaker 1 I feel like Olivia Manning should be nominated for the Hall of Fame as a contributor because Archie Manning had a solid career, right? Pretty good career for the Saints, but was not a Hall of Famer.

Speaker 1 His sons are now Hall of Famers. Where do you think they got that extra boost from?

Speaker 2 Probably from Olivia, right?

Speaker 2 Probably from Olivia.

Speaker 6 And by the way, Christian McCaffrey, everybody thinks it's Ed McCaffrey. And frankly, his mom was a world-class sprinter.

Speaker 6 So I think he got some speed from her. I think that's true of a lot of guys who play in the NFL.

Speaker 6 The dads kind of provide them some exhortation and some encouragement, but their... moms are the ones who keep them going and give them the love to never give up.

Speaker 6 But yeah, Olivia, and again, I got to tell you, Archie is a special man,

Speaker 6 not just as a football player, but I've always regarded him as one of the great fathers. He's a Hall of Fame father, not because of what his kids did, but

Speaker 6 Archie lost his dad when he was a sophomore at Mississippi. And

Speaker 6 I think he

Speaker 6 understood how important it was for him to be a dad to not only to Peyton and Eli, but to Cooper. And again, that's the cool part about this job.
I think every fan should have this job if you could.

Speaker 6 Let's let everybody do it for a day.

Speaker 6 Because not only do you get to deliver some great news or give a gold jacket, but you get to see behind the scenes the real emotions, the real perseverance, the real courage that made these guys great.

Speaker 6 I mean, respectfully for you and your fans and listeners, we all think they fell out of bed great.

Speaker 6 And I'm here to tell you, not one of them did. They all had to overcome something and they had to overcome it again and again.
And

Speaker 6 it's pretty cool that we get to see it. And hopefully, from that, guys,

Speaker 6 learn that you don't have to be a football player to have a Hall of Fame life. And frankly,

Speaker 6 you know, watching them and learning from them can make you guys better broadcasters. It can make me a better dad.
It can make us a better community in a better country.

Speaker 2 So, can you walk us through what the process was of getting Roger Goodell's chair inducted into the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 2 We have a bone to pick with you. That's not a Hall of Fame-worthy chair.
So, did he just tell you, did he call you up and was like, hey, Dave, listen, this chair is going to the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 There's nothing you can do about it. Or

Speaker 2 maybe you had more of a say than I'm letting on. Just explain to us how that process goes down.

Speaker 6 Let me tell you, I begged for that chair.

Speaker 2 Oh, come on.

Speaker 6 That was the chair that was in his basement.

Speaker 2 And here's the deal, by the way, with it, okay?

Speaker 6 He said we could have it, but he was loaning it to us.

Speaker 6 He wasn't giving it to us because when the season gets started, the official regular season, he wants that chair back in his basement so he can watch his games.

Speaker 2 Okay. I don't know.

Speaker 1 I think what really happened was Mrs. Goodell was like, you need to get this chair out of my house.
I hate this thing. Every guy's got a piece of furniture that their wife wants out of the house.

Speaker 1 And she was like, we're sending this to the Hall of Fame. We're getting it out.
You don't have a say in it, Roger. That's what I think.
That may be great.

Speaker 6 Let me tell you, it's a big chair. And you guys know, you've been with me.
You know how big I am.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 6 This is my kind of chair. I think both of you guys could sit in this chair.
Okay. And matter of fact, I'd like to get that picture of both of you guys sitting in Roger Goodell's chair.

Speaker 6 But it's, I thought it was a nice piece of deal. I mean,

Speaker 6 I thought it was pretty smart of them to go back to that time in his basement.

Speaker 6 And again, I will tell you, there's all kinds of controversy. And the commissioner, bless his heart, man, the guy is a lightning rod for every piece of controversy.

Speaker 6 But I will tell you this from my perspective, gentlemen.

Speaker 6 And by the way, I know that, you know, your station has a little bit of problem with the commissioner, okay?

Speaker 6 But I will tell you that last year was an incredible year. When we were locked in our homes, when we were afraid, when we didn't know what the next day held,

Speaker 6 the NFL

Speaker 6 announced their schedule. They had a virtual draft.
They started the season on time. And by the way, the Big Ten canceled half its games.
The Pac-12 probably didn't pay that many.

Speaker 6 And the NFL played all 256 games, played all playoff games, finished the Super Bowl with a 43-year-old quarterback on time. And they did it safely.

Speaker 6 And I think for us that were out there, it was not just great entertainment and good football, which we needed, I needed.

Speaker 6 Frankly, it was a great message that maybe, you know, these were blacks and whites and Hispanics and these were management and unions and networks and everybody came together.

Speaker 6 I mean, look at Alex Smith. No excuses.
You know, when the

Speaker 6 Broncos didn't have a quarterback, they could have forfeited,

Speaker 6 okay, but they went and found some guy off their practice squad. When the Detroit didn't have a coach, okay, they found guys out of the film room in the scout room.

Speaker 6 Everybody kept going and they came together and they carried on. And to me, that was a great message that, hey, if they they could do that, maybe we can get our economy going.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 you're an optimist and a great diplomat.

Speaker 2 Let's talk about something a little more serious on the serious side. I'm looking at the 10-day forecast right now.
It's going to be mid- to high 80s in Canton, the week of all of these events.

Speaker 2 What's our sweat strategy this year? What are we thinking?

Speaker 6 Listen, you probably know, and there's been plenty of evidence out there to show it. I can sweat in a freezer.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you sweat through a suit, like actually the suit jacket, everything.

Speaker 6 Yeah, and I'll go through probably about 10 or 12 suits, Big Cat, during this time.

Speaker 6 But what I'm going to try to do is stay inside as much as possible and just

Speaker 6 run outside when I got to do something and then run back inside.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 6 But it's Canton, Ohio, and it's going to be humid.

Speaker 6 And we're going to have a lot of people here. But it's going to be a great, great time.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Going to get back to David Baker in a second. But before we do

Speaker 3 aats so whether your fridge is empty and you're too tired to shop or you just ran out of essential ingredients don't worry we got you get 40 off your first aldi order on uber eats with code new aldi25 orders thirty dollars or more save up to twenty five dollars and it's 1231 see out for details i can't wait for it i i read online today that you at one point had a you did a weight loss challenge with roger gadell did you beat him Please tell me you beat him.

Speaker 6 No, I didn't beat him. I mean, the guy doesn't have a weight problem.
I have, what was it from Tommy Boyd where he said, I have what people call a weight problem.

Speaker 2 And, you know, I'm 400 pounds. Okay.

Speaker 6 And I did everything I could. I actually tried to cheat.
So I would send him chocolates and I would send him cakes.

Speaker 6 And I, you know, one time he was having an annual meeting for the NFL with his owners. And I believe it was someplace like,

Speaker 6 you know, Houston. And I had the hotel send him a banana split during the meeting.

Speaker 6 And, you know, I did everything I could, but I didn't win it. And

Speaker 6 he's still after me. But

Speaker 6 some things like Tommy Boy aren't going to change.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you know what, though? You're the winner in our minds because anything against Roger Goodell, we're going to side with the other side.

Speaker 2 I love the suit, by the way, right now. The pinstripe suit, the classic suit.
You look like a detective in a Dick Tracy movie right now. I kind of like it.

Speaker 6 Yeah, this is actually my Betelgeuse suit.

Speaker 2 I'm ready for whatever may occur.

Speaker 6 But we'll have a lot of suits. We'll get really wet, but we'll have a lot of smiles.
Yes.

Speaker 2 That's a fact. I don't know if we asked you this when we first interviewed you.
Are you eventually going to be in the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 6 Well, I'm in the Hall of Fame right now, okay, but I will never be one of those guys who have a goal.

Speaker 2 Are you sure?

Speaker 1 I don't think you can tell the story of professional football without mentioning you.

Speaker 6 You know what, guys? I'll tell you, you may find yourself very soon before I leave being a selector if you keep that kind of thinking going.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 6 Because I could get you guys as a selector there in the room where we select the guys sometimes. But no, I think

Speaker 6 it's reserved for some people who, like I told you before.

Speaker 6 There have been 330 million young men, including you guys, I'm sure, that have played this game of football and now women, by the way, at some level.

Speaker 6 There's only 5 million that have played it in college. Only 29,000 who've ever been paid to play it, coach it, or officiate it in the National Football League.

Speaker 6 There's only, as of today, 335 bronze bust.

Speaker 6 It's not the hall of very, very good, or as you guys were pitching to me the last time we were together, the hall of mediocrity.

Speaker 2 I remember that.

Speaker 6 Okay, I'm sure you guys have advanced that idea along the way.

Speaker 6 It is the hall of fame. It is the elite.
It is the very best. So I've got way too much respect for it to ever think that there'd be a guy like me who sweats this much to be in it.

Speaker 1 I think that you're being very humble right now. That exact attitude that you have right now is what will get you into the Hall of Fame one day.
I'm going to make sure of it as a selector.

Speaker 1 Actually, you brought up something interesting because you talked about the NFL specifically. What about other professional football leagues?

Speaker 1 What about the Mexican Football League with Trenton Richardson? Is there a chance that if he dominates that league enough, he could one day end up in the professional football hall of fame?

Speaker 6 Well, let me give you an example. I always felt, but we are the pro football hall of fame.
Now, we're most identified with the NFL because it's the dominant brand that's out there.

Speaker 6 But we have records on everybody. And by the way, we got 335 guys who have a bronze bust, but everybody who ever played even one game in the NFL has an archive here.

Speaker 6 So you may know that I've got a son that played almost eight years with the Falcons, and we've got an archive on him.

Speaker 6 Archie Manning, who's not in the Hall of Fame, we've got an archive on him.

Speaker 6 Our goal is to keep the history of the game, to honor the heroes of the game, to preserve its history, promote its values, to celebrate excellence everywhere.

Speaker 6 But I always thought an interesting guy for this was Kurt Warner. You know, Kurt Warner had been the MVP of the Arena Football League, had been the MVP of NFL Europe.

Speaker 6 And then he comes along and he's the MVP of the NFL and he's Super Bowl MVP. And that's a guy who makes it not just on Warren Moon.

Speaker 6 Warren Moon made it here. Warren Moon's a fascinating story.

Speaker 6 You know, he's all everything, but at a time when race is even more divisive than it is now,

Speaker 6 he's the player of the state in California, but he doesn't get offered to a four-year college, so he goes to a JC.

Speaker 6 He then goes to Washington. He becomes the MVP of the Rose Bowl, but he doesn't get drafted, so he goes to the Canadian Football League.

Speaker 6 He plays in the Canadian Football League for six six years until finally he's picked up in the NFL. And the NFL, he plays another 16 years and he's in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 6 But there's a lot of guys like that. And yeah, we take note of that.
Matter of fact, we've got a deal

Speaker 6 this week that is the Women's Tackle Football League Championship being played here in Canton. So anything that's football, we're going to be all over it.

Speaker 2 I love that you're just

Speaker 2 like a treasure chest of great feel-good stories, and you just have them like a Rolodex in your mind. Has there ever been a time that you cried presenting someone else?

Speaker 2 Give us the most you've cried. What was the person that you knocked on their door and then you just couldn't hold it and you started crying?

Speaker 6 Well, and again, I love kidding around with you guys. And,

Speaker 6 you know, we have a lot of fun when we're together. I think there's a mutual respect.
But I got to tell you,

Speaker 6 I knocked on the door of Jerry Kramer, and he waited 45 years to get in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 6 When I knocked on the door of Randy Moss, Randy Moss, I'll tell you, he came to the door, he started crying, and he came to the door as this star, this incredible mega star that was, you know, when you're a star, it's kind of about you.

Speaker 6 And I think I saw him transform into this incredible ambassador for the game. And I have great respect for Randy Moss.
But I can tell you, we call this the most inspiring place on earth.

Speaker 6 And the reason we do is we have so many people who come here, guys who

Speaker 6 are terminally ill,

Speaker 6 you know, have one week to live. And this is a big bucket list item for one day.
We're in our office and we're looking out the window, and our stadium is under construction.

Speaker 6 So there's vehicles and there's a mom and dad out there. And they're pouring the ashes

Speaker 6 of their son out on our field.

Speaker 6 And that stuff happens all the time. Yesterday, I got an email from a young kid who's,

Speaker 6 we saw him when he was 10 years old.

Speaker 6 The Make a Wish Foundation had reached out, and he was terminally ill with cancer. We went to Israel.
He's in Israel. And we had Joe Montana and a whole bunch of other guys, Roger Stabach.

Speaker 6 And they love this kid up as we should.

Speaker 6 His dad wrote me yesterday, and he's been in transmission.

Speaker 6 remission for five years and he's coming to the Hall of Fame in August.

Speaker 6 And I'll tell you, there's just so much stuff out there that happens every day that, frankly, it gets lost here sometimes that there's so much of it. But it's a great game.

Speaker 6 What you guys do every day and talk about it and kidding about it and

Speaker 6 getting insights on it.

Speaker 6 It grows the game and it has an impact on people.

Speaker 2 So thank you.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you ever still just walk through the museum by yourself through the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 1 And do you, I know we talked last time about John Madden saying that at night the statues come alive and they talk to each other. Do you ever walk through still by yourself looking at things?

Speaker 1 And do you ever have a conversation with the bus?

Speaker 6 PFT,

Speaker 6 this is that time of year right here.

Speaker 6 You know, where my staff is in here, sometimes they're in here at 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock, even to midnight, because we got so many people coming to town and so much to take care of.

Speaker 6 And there have been times when I was the last one here and I walked out and you kind of take a stroll through that bronze bus gallery. And it is, you know,

Speaker 6 it is the Sistine Chapel for all of us who love the game.

Speaker 2 It is

Speaker 6 the heart, the soul, the values of the virtues of this game. And I've never talked to a bronze bus like Coach Madden.
And again, when you sit down with him, he takes that very seriously.

Speaker 6 He will not give it up. He's absolutely convinced that they talked to each other

Speaker 6 and if they did i'm sure it would be warren sapp that i'm hearing all the time but the fact of the matter is um we we play the enshrinement speeches of guys just outside the gallery 24 7 and there's a lot of times not just late at night when i'm here alone but sometime during the day where Chris Carter will be up there.

Speaker 6 Or one night I was in there at midnight and John Elway was talking about his sister and dad who had just died. And I actually came back in and shot him an email on it.

Speaker 6 But yeah, our job is to keep their legacy alive.

Speaker 6 And again,

Speaker 6 the guy who has this job, 100-day bakers for now,

Speaker 6 and that guy will still probably be talking to the two of you.

Speaker 6 But that guy's job will be to keep their legacy alive.

Speaker 2 My last question, and this has been fantastic as always. I know that you can't tell us how a vote's going to go.
I know

Speaker 2 you don't get a vote, right? You're in the room, but

Speaker 2 you don't get a vote. I run the meeting.

Speaker 6 Right. I administer it, but I don't vote.

Speaker 2 Right. So my question to you is,

Speaker 2 Julian Edelman retires. Now, I'm not going to ask you whether he's a Hall of Famer.
I'm going to ask you instead, do you love when Hall of Fame debates rage on in the media?

Speaker 2 Because that's kind of been, you know, he retires and it becomes a week-long Hall of Fame debate.

Speaker 2 I have to imagine you kind of like that because as people are talking about the Hall of Fame and they frame their arguments around the Hall of Fame, that's a win for David Baker.

Speaker 6 Well, I'll tell you,

Speaker 6 it's a win for the game.

Speaker 6 And I have been in some incredible debates.

Speaker 6 And

Speaker 6 I will tell you that these guys who are the selectors, whether that's Sal

Speaker 6 Antonio from ESPN or Peter King from SI, or they're elite media guys,

Speaker 6 and they do take it enormously seriously, which is why you have to have a 400-pounder control the discussion because it can get intense sometimes. But

Speaker 6 they've been wonderful discussions that I wish every fan could hear. And we've tried to take bits and pieces and do it in a way where we guard confidentiality but can share what we can with fans.

Speaker 6 But I will tell you,

Speaker 6 on one of the trips we took to Israel, twice we've taken 20 Hall of Famers. One of those, Julian Edelman, was on the trip because Robert Kraft

Speaker 6 was kind of our sponsor for the trip. And he wanted Julian to come.
He's Jewish, and it was a big deal.

Speaker 6 And I told him, I said, it's probably not me, but I hope someday, you know, there's someone like me knocking on your door.

Speaker 6 And again, I think he is a tough, tenacious kid.

Speaker 6 You know, he went to school at Kent State, just down the road here. And

Speaker 6 I've seen that happen. Jason Taylor, you know, his speech at the enshrinement, he went to

Speaker 6 Akron, I believe. And, you know, his deal was 20 years to go 20 miles.
But again,

Speaker 6 there are guys, Drew Pearson is a great one who, you know, it took Drew Pearson a long time to get in the Hall of Fame. Ray Guy, it took him 29 years.

Speaker 6 Obviously, Jerry Kramer took him 45.

Speaker 6 Not everybody makes it as a first ballot Hall of Famer. And once you're in, you're in.
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 6 But it should be hard. It should be tough.

Speaker 6 It ain't easy. That's why it's the Hall of Fame and not the Hall of Mediocrity.

Speaker 1 Yes. Which we're still working on.
We're fleshing out that idea.

Speaker 2 Go back.

Speaker 6 I want to come work for you guys.

Speaker 1 You talked about the play it off music that you have in store for people after, what, eight minutes? Have you figured out what song you want to use for that?

Speaker 6 No, we haven't. You guys got a suggestion?

Speaker 1 I would say the Fox NFL injury music song. It's going to be on Fox.
So they do the

Speaker 1 really soft version of that might be good.

Speaker 6 Let me see if I can get that done for you guys. And you guys will know, hey, that was me.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 In a way,

Speaker 2 we'll have made the Hall of Fame at that point. Yes.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 1 Well, this is awesome. Thank you for coming on.
It's always great to talk to you. Yes.

Speaker 6 And listen, I think highly of you guys. You're a lot of fun.
And

Speaker 6 I do.

Speaker 6 I think you have a lot of fun, but you have enormous respect for the game.

Speaker 2 We do. We do.

Speaker 1 It also helps that you're you and we're us. And so if we feel like we're disrespecting the game, we're far too intimidated to vocalize that.

Speaker 6 Well, come on down. I'll let you both sit in Roger Goodell's chair at once.

Speaker 2 Take care, guys. All right.
Thanks so much. Bye-bye.

Speaker 1 David Baker was brought to you by our great friends over at...

Speaker 7 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One-made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 7 Only one Reese's peanut butter lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 7 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 2 Okay, let's wrap up. We got Fire Fest of the week.
Henry, you moved? I did move.

Speaker 2 It's over now, though, so it's like I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder. I feel like a new man.
I'm happy. It was a long week.
It sucks.

Speaker 2 Moving is, you know, it's one of those things where during the process, I thought about like tweeting or being like, Moving sucks, but there's no point because everyone knows moving fucking sucks.

Speaker 2 So, quote, one question. Yes.
I actually like moving sucks. Sucks.
Moving out sucks. Sucks.
The sneaky worst part, though, is when you move in and you think you're done and you're not.

Speaker 2 Like, you have like two weeks left of getting shit set. I don't even care about that, though, because it's just like,

Speaker 2 I mean, I'm on my own, so it's like I can go as, you know, take my time with it. I'm by football season.
I want to be fully moved in, situated. Okay, so you have enough time.

Speaker 2 I'm not worried about

Speaker 2 that part of it. It is like that feeling of, you know, when you're about to move, you're like, all right, this is going to really suck.

Speaker 2 And then you get everything out of your old place and you get everything into your new place and you're like, oof, done.

Speaker 2 And then the second wave of suck like creeps up on you where you're like, in the three days later, you're like, where the fuck did I put this? Or where is this? Why don't I have this?

Speaker 2 Why I need a new couch? Like all these things. To that point, Big Cat.
I did a horrific job packing and then I just took a bunch of boxes and my labeling was so bad because I moved.

Speaker 2 So yesterday, I was like, oh, I need to find this, this, and this. And then the labels were just like stuff.
Yeah. And so it's like, yeah, that is definitely.

Speaker 2 That's going to delay. Yeah.
It's going to delay me really diving into those boxes.

Speaker 1 Did you have anything that you packed up in this move that you hadn't yet really unpacked from your last move?

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.
There was a couple.

Speaker 2 There was an old suitcase that I had that I opened it up and it was like old stuff from my old apartment that I was like, I'll just bring this to my new apartment and deal with it then.

Speaker 2 And then I was like, what's in this suitcase? And it's like, oh, this is from like three years ago.

Speaker 1 That's my favorite part about moving is rediscovering old stuff that you thought that you'd need and you absolutely don't need it.

Speaker 2 But yeah, the fire fest is yesterday I moved all my stuff out of my apartment. I had to go back to do like one last trip, you know, pick up all the scraps and stuff and leave.

Speaker 2 And I was there and I had to take a shit and then I sat down and started taking a shit and realized there was no toilet paper.

Speaker 2 And so I just took a shower. Nice.
That's all I have. I've done that before.

Speaker 2 I was just like, what am I supposed to do? What? Yeah. You got to improvise sometimes.

Speaker 1 What's your water pressure like at the new spot?

Speaker 2 I haven't taken a shower yet because I bought a shower curtain and it didn't come with the clean. These are the things I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 I haven't showered in like three days. Yeah, that's another fire fest.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yikes.

Speaker 1 We have a shower here.

Speaker 2 Go shower.

Speaker 2 Go hit the showers. Well, I guess I did.
I mean,

Speaker 2 I did an ass shower. Yeah, I was going to say this.

Speaker 2 Wait. You just said that.
Wait, you didn't shower. I didn't have anything.
I just literally got in the shower, like, wiped my ass. And then got out.
And then got out. So I guess.
Did you have soap?

Speaker 2 No, there's nothing. There's nothing in

Speaker 2 the shower. Why firefits?

Speaker 1 What did you wipe your ass with?

Speaker 2 Your hand.

Speaker 1 And there's no soap.

Speaker 2 And no soap. This is Firefits, right? Like what am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do?

Speaker 2 Did you have soap in like the there was nothing in my apartment? There was nothing in my apartment. When did that happen? Last night.
Have you washed your hands? Yes. I had hand sanitizer.

Speaker 2 I don't know if you did.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 that was a lie.

Speaker 2 How hot was the water?

Speaker 2 I mean, all right. What would you guys have done? Well, no, no, no.
You guys are making me feel bad. No, no, no.
There was nothing I could have done.

Speaker 2 There was nothing I could have done. It was 10 o'clock at night.
I was on the toilet. Yeah, yeah.
And I realized, oh, fuck, there's no toilet paper here. There's no shame.

Speaker 2 And I used a towel and I threw away the towel. Like, that's all I had to do.
Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 When you're in the shower, are you facing away from the shower head?

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yes.
Wait,

Speaker 2 it's a he's getting

Speaker 2 himself. My shower head was an overhead shower.
Yeah. No big deal.
Oh, so you were on your all fours? I was literally just bent. I was just bent over.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 You were just getting blasted in the ass by your shower. No soap.

Speaker 2 Again, like what? You guys are making me feel bad. Everyone's going to be like, oh, my God.
Girls are like, all right. Anyone that's going to tweet me and be like, dude, you're fucking disgusting.

Speaker 2 Like, give me something else that I should have done in this situation. Yeah, no, you did.

Speaker 2 Tell me what I was supposed to do because I was thinking about the options. I was like, all I can do is really take a shower.
Yeah, no, you did everything you could do. Like, replaying it.

Speaker 2 I don't think there's any other move you had.

Speaker 2 It's more that you left out the part. that, so that's where the shock came from.
But you had to do it.

Speaker 1 You could have used

Speaker 1 your boxer shorts and then just thrown those away.

Speaker 2 Well, I did the towel.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you just toweled. Okay, you can do that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you're good.

Speaker 1 I don't think that you smelled bad today.

Speaker 2 I didn't think so either. Okay.
Nice. We really get, we dug deep on that fire.
Yeah, you guys. Yeah, we feel terrible.
No, you shouldn't feel terrible.

Speaker 1 That's the old jersey today.

Speaker 2 You guys make me feel like sometimes you're like, how could you have done that? But it's like, in my head, I'm like, what else am I supposed to do?

Speaker 2 Your guys' reaction was like, you're a crazy person no how could you do such

Speaker 2 perfect hold on hold on you slept here last night pfd like you have no money in your bank account

Speaker 2 yeah that's true i my reaction was more i assumed there was soap so when you said no soap i was like what the

Speaker 2 but i think i think yeah part of my story you had to do everything you did everything you could do

Speaker 2 Okay, is there a is there a common bathroom in your old apartment? What do you mean? Like, is there a lobby bathroom?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I would have soaped there. That's the only thing I would have done different afterwards.
But wait, wait, wait. Was this at your new apartment or your old apartment? The old apartment.
Okay. All right.

Speaker 2 That's all I would have done different. Everything else you did right.

Speaker 2 No shame.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 1 Good job, Hank. Thanks.
I don't know how I even followed that fire fest up.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, that was one of the best fire fests ever. It also was funny because you were just going to say moving and then we got to it.
Like we kept on digging.

Speaker 2 Well, no, that was, yeah, I mean, whatever. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I'm not shaming you. I really am not.
Like, I would have done the. I just told you I wiped my ass with coffee filters.

Speaker 2 That's gross. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You got to do what you got to do. I've used everything.

Speaker 2 You're taking a shit in the woods. My only option was

Speaker 2 that her plastic bag, and I was like, I don't want to do it. No, that plastic bag wouldn't work.
I know. It would smear it.
And it also tears. Yeah.
No, you did everything.

Speaker 2 I think the towel is an important part of it.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Okay, can we move on? Yeah, I guess we can. Are you good? I'm good.
I just feel like you guys have like. No, we're not.
No, we're not judging.

Speaker 2 I'm telling you that I think that you did everything you could do. All right.
Thank you. Only thing that I would say is maybe the lobby bathroom afterwards.
But that's it. Yeah.
That's it. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 But I don't think you're ever going to be back in this spot. I'm never going to be back at that spot.
Yeah, exactly. So you're good.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 Okay, well, my fire fest is...

Speaker 2 I have one just as gross, so don't worry.

Speaker 1 Mine's not even that bad. I might just skip mine and let you go, big guy, because mine's just, I'm not going to the Jersey Shore this weekend.
Oh, yeah. And

Speaker 1 I finally get, after all these years, like, why people love the Jersey Shore. Never really understood it.

Speaker 1 I'm now like a big Jersey Shore guy. I might do this every single summer.

Speaker 2 Same as Hank's. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Firefest. I can't go to my vacation house for the month this weekend.

Speaker 2 You ready for this, Hank? That is a good firefest. Yeah.

Speaker 2 My son was a little sick this week. I

Speaker 2 now I have like dad's sixth sense. I caught my son's puke in my own hand.

Speaker 2 That's because I knew it was coming. And I fucking caught the whole goddamn puke in my hands.
And the Fire Fest is that I didn't even blink. I was like, well, this just happened.

Speaker 1 That's it.

Speaker 1 Dad's sixth sense.

Speaker 2 Yeah, just, but, like, it should have shocked me more.

Speaker 2 I think that just happens

Speaker 2 the more you get down the line with kids where just things don't phase you like they should.

Speaker 2 So yeah, that's that was an awakening of like, yeah, I just, I I just caught your puke, had no problem with it, threw it out, like washed my hands, and then we just keep moving on.

Speaker 1 If there was one of those old-school fantasy football commercials for fantasy dads, that would be in it. Like blindfolded, just sticking your hand out, catching the puke, throwing it away.

Speaker 2 Knowing when something bad is about to happen. And so there you go, Hank.
We're kind of bros like that. We just do gross shit.

Speaker 1 Fuck it. I don't actually think that Hank's thing was that gross.
No, it wasn't.

Speaker 2 It actually wasn't gross. Mine was way gross.

Speaker 1 You know what? Like, in a lot of countries.

Speaker 2 I ate the puke, too. I forgot about that part.

Speaker 2 I licked it up.

Speaker 1 In a lot of countries, like they don't even shower after they take a shit. So, like, Hank is more hygienic than probably 99% of the planet.
That's a fact. Good job, Hank.

Speaker 2 I feel like we're not in a good spot right now. Oh, we're great.
We're doing great. Okay.
Jake.

Speaker 1 Yeah, my Fire Fest is

Speaker 2 so by our desk, there is this clothing rack, and it is a disaster.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 1 I walk in like twice a week, and my suits are just on the floor because it keeps breaking.

Speaker 2 You guys know what I'm talking about, right?

Speaker 1 I don't think the listeners could relate as much, but you guys know it just collapses every day.

Speaker 2 Uh-huh. Yeah, this is only about fixing it.

Speaker 2 Or not wearing suits. No, gotta be professional.
Yeah, right. That's podcast.
I think that's the part that's like you kind of.

Speaker 1 It just breaks every day.

Speaker 2 My understanding from situations is it breaks, but you just lean. Yeah, no, no one's fixed it.
No one's tried to fix it.

Speaker 1 No, I discombobulated the whole thing, and then I put it back together. I think it's broken.
You could always, if you have to wear suits, you could just wear wrinkled suits.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 No one's really going to care.

Speaker 2 Yeah, see, that's the thing what you don't realize is that clothing rack, which I see, I knock over all the time, it breaks, whatever.

Speaker 2 You're the only one who cares about it. You see my pile.
You have PM.

Speaker 1 I've got PMT gear on it, too.

Speaker 2 Hank, what'd you do to your pile?

Speaker 2 I have no idea. What the fuck are you doing?

Speaker 2 I think the cleaning ladies are, which I fucking love, by the way. You know what I did?

Speaker 2 They're like slowly just cleaning everything whoa is genius it's great so they cleaned my desk because big cat charity shames me every time i ask him to clean the pile they clean my desk and your desk hank and i i went up to uh one of the cleaning ladies like a week later i was like did you clean this desk and she's like yes and i think she was like scared i was like no no no i wanted to like thank you and i gave her oh you didn't charity shame her and say you don't care no i gave her some money So now I think she's going to clean our whole life up.

Speaker 2 Great. Because she's, because I, yeah.
Okay, that's that answers that.

Speaker 1 I came into work about a month ago, and my entire area was folded up and organized very neatly. It must have taken, I mean,

Speaker 2 definitely not under an hour to do all that. So I feel good that I gave her money, but I also think that now she's going to, like, I'm, everything's going to disappear, which I'm okay with.

Speaker 2 I'm okay with it. Billy, you don't care about charity? I care about charity.

Speaker 1 Jake, I will fix the wreck for you. Like, I did your glasses the one time.

Speaker 1 But my

Speaker 1 Fire Fest is that when we went to see the movie on Sunday, everyone was commenting like, Billy, you're so baked. You're so baked.
You're so high. That got back to my mother.

Speaker 1 So my mom called me and was like, were you doing weed and watching movies? And I was like, no, I don't actually smoke weed.

Speaker 1 And then she started to remind me about the time in high school I came home way too high and thought I was so high I was going to die.

Speaker 2 And you were one of those kids? Yeah. Those guys usually stop smoking after

Speaker 2 you.

Speaker 1 Anyway, the weed is different nowadays.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Bring back mids, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah. So then what? When you were in high school, too, well, I was in high school, and like you take one hit, and then all of a sudden, like, you're so high you got to get it.
You literally die.

Speaker 2 You got weed from the same person I did when you were in high school. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, five years ago.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, Billy's like, you guys don't understand the weed in 2016 is nowhere near as potent as it is right now.

Speaker 2 No, the weed, the weed jump happened in like

Speaker 2 2009, 10, somewhere around that.

Speaker 1 It was like the special weed that you used to get once every six months started to just be the weed that was

Speaker 2 around. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So I'm not a weed guy, but

Speaker 1 yeah, so then I was like, no, I didn't do weed and no one believes me. So your mom thinks that you're a stoner.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 1 But you kind of are a stoner just without the smoke and the weed.

Speaker 2 Correct.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean...

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 I can see that. Yeah, you got like that attitude, which is a good attitude to have.

Speaker 1 You're just perpetually high.

Speaker 2 Animals, food.

Speaker 1 I never thought of it that way.

Speaker 2 Yeah, eating a shitload of food, petting a lot of animals.

Speaker 1 Fucking stuff up. You're high.
Forgetting everything.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah. Being late.
No, I'm high. You're the high guy.
Yeah, you're the high guy.

Speaker 1 You are the drug guy in this group. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Yep.

Speaker 2 Well.

Speaker 1 Well, at least I don't spend money on weed, and I'm the high guy.

Speaker 2 Right, that's true.

Speaker 1 I'm a cost-effective high guy. Your brain is just as powerful THC as you can get anywhere.

Speaker 2 Exactly.

Speaker 1 All right, Bill, you got a recap for us? Yes. So I want to talk about Texas.
One thing you guys are talking about, Texas recruiting pool, you guys forgot about the NIL.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Texas is going to be able to get way more NIL money for the recruits than probably other colleges with the Longhorns network. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So I was thinking that would probably be a huge reason why they want to go into the SEC because they have this money they can pay the recruits.

Speaker 2 I just think they also

Speaker 2 see the future of like it's going to be a four-conference. They don't want to be left out.
SEC is going to be a power conference. Do it.

Speaker 1 Do you see Texas beating Vanderbilt and Mizzou?

Speaker 2 Yes. Yes.

Speaker 1 So they can compete.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and also what they're going to do is I saw like the scheduling thing, which it might actually be Mizzou. They're going to do like pods, four-team pods that you play everyone in your pods.

Speaker 2 So if it were Texas AM, Oklahoma, and Mizzou, or Vandy, like they'll still, you know what I mean? They play Oklahoma every year, no matter what.

Speaker 1 I think that it might be Oklahoma, AM, Texas, LSU.

Speaker 2 I don't think they would stack it that much. Because LSU would probably be with.
I don't know. I'd have to look at it and tell them.

Speaker 1 What would probably end up happening would be the north part would be the weakest, which would be like Mizzou, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and...

Speaker 2 I think they'd mix and match, though. Because remember, like East West doesn't, like, Mizzou's in the east.
Yeah. So they don't really follow geography right now.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 But they also have the opportunity to like to vote against Texas joining and Oklahoma joining. And right now, you have two teams that are probably going to vote no, which would be ANM for sure.

Speaker 1 And Mizzou has already said that they're going to vote no against that. So I think you need two more teams, and that's where you're going to run into an interesting situation.

Speaker 1 If there's a third team that says that they're going to vote no, then every other team in the conference is going to threaten to vote no so that they can get something out of it.

Speaker 1 It's like when there's, if you're looking at Congress and there's like one person that could like decide the vote, they all start demanding like, oh, well, we need a new electric plant in my district.

Speaker 1 Right. So that's what's going to happen if you get one more to kind of jump over to that side.

Speaker 2 Texas A ⁇ M will never vote yes. That makes sense.

Speaker 1 Their vote is like what is going to piss off Texas the most.

Speaker 2 And also what's going to screw us the most is Texas not being the only SEC school in Texas.

Speaker 1 But that also means we get AM versus Texas hopefully every year on Thanksgiving again. Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 Also on the Bucs,

Speaker 1 all the media reported that he was eating nuggets. We now know it was chicken minis.
Thank you. And also, did you know, did you guys see the video of Brandon Jennings spitting beer at the crowd?

Speaker 1 Yeah, dude.

Speaker 2 Brandon Jennings, being 31 and being retired for three years, blew my mind. And his knees just went out.
He's like Brandon Roy. Remember him? Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 The Blazers were going to win multiple champions.

Speaker 2 That sucks.

Speaker 1 Also, this is, you know, in solidarity with Hank. One time I came out of the bathroom without washing my hands in kindergarten.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 1 this is not going. This is not going to be a good thing.
And then

Speaker 1 everyone Everyone called me poopy hands

Speaker 2 for the next one. I actually washed my hands, just not with soap.
Yeah, no, you washed.

Speaker 1 But, like, aren't you glad no one's calling you poopy hands?

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, sure. That's not going to happen.
Yeah. No, no, no, no, no.
Billy, you're poopy hands. Yeah, I was poopy hands.

Speaker 2 Billy, you are poopy hands. Vipe.

Speaker 1 Vi-peed. And I came out without washing my hands after peeing, but everyone was like, no, you went poop.
And I was like, no, I went pee. And then it was poopy hands, poopy hands, poopy hands.

Speaker 1 Hank has given Billy the biggest death stir of all time because he knows exactly what Billy's doing right now.

Speaker 1 You're trying to get everybody to call Hank Billy all.

Speaker 2 I'm just trying to share the business. That's not going to work, Billy.

Speaker 1 Anyway,

Speaker 1 his name is Stank Lockwood. Goats drink each other's urine to wash their teeth.

Speaker 2 What? Goats.

Speaker 1 Mountain goats. They're piss dogs? Yeah, they drink each other's piss to wash their teeth.

Speaker 2 Crazy.

Speaker 1 Real quick, in the Barstool Sports Sports book,

Speaker 1 we've got a new prop coming out this weekend for USA Rugby. Go bet on it.

Speaker 1 If USA Rugby wins by finishing in second place, if they're the the silver medalist, I think it's plus 677 or something like that. Are they going to finish second? They could.

Speaker 1 Okay. They could.
Like, I mean, if you look back at their history,

Speaker 1 they're the most likely team to finish second place. Yes.
Game start a Monday.

Speaker 2 I also have a parlay in there. It's called a poop parlay.

Speaker 2 It's not, but we can call it that. Okay, poop parlay.
All right, numbers: 99, 66,

Speaker 2 18. 8.

Speaker 2 85.

Speaker 2 86. Oh, 86.
