Speaker 2 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 2 Oh, we're gonna ride down to Elite Trick Iven. It's Pardon My Take presented by Far School Sports.

Speaker 2 Welcome to Part of My Take presented by Chevy Silverado, the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever. Today is Monday, June 21st,

Speaker 2 and the process is dead. R.I.P.

Speaker 5 R.I.P. We had a good run.
We had a good run. This was going to be the postseason where we judge whether or not processes actually work.
Turns out they don't. Well, you know what?

Speaker 5 It was a legacy game for

Speaker 5 just baskets, being able to shoot.

Speaker 5 It turns out that if you can shoot, you're probably going to win an NBA Playoff Series.

Speaker 2 I was going to say,

Speaker 2 I didn't think it would catch up to him, but it finally did. Ben Simmons just refusing to shoot a basket into a basketball into a basket in a basketball game.

Speaker 5 it ended up that matters well he ended up not dunking he's afraid of dunking too well i thought i thought that if he if he had the opportunity to go up with like a nice solid two-footed two-handed slam dunk from inside the protected circle i didn't think he'd be afraid of the basket in those circumstances wait but hold on pft rim protector trey young was there True, good point.

Speaker 2 That's a scary thing.

Speaker 5 Actually, I'd like to now go back on my take that he should try dunking free throws because that wouldn't work either.

Speaker 2 No, nothing works.

Speaker 2 He is allergic. I've never seen anyone just be like, I am not going to shoot under any circumstances.
So, we got a lot to talk about, but let's start with some Ben Simmons stats.

Speaker 2 So, we talked about this on Thursday's show, but Ben Simmons now officially finished the last four games of this series without attempting a single field goal in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 2 That's your point card. Honestly, impressive.
That's your point guard. He attempted three field goals in the fourth quarters of this entire series, two of them in the first.

Speaker 2 He did finish perfect three for three, so there's one nice spin zone.

Speaker 2 Because he's now out of the playoffs, Ben Simmons has the lowest free throw percentage in a single playoffs in NBA history. So he beats out Shaq.
He was 34.2%.

Speaker 2 Shaq's worst season playoff history was 37.4%.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 that's another bad stat. And then finally, I mean, Ben Simmons, I don't,

Speaker 2 do you see afterwards, Doc Rivers was asked, like, can he be a point guard on a championship team? He's like, I don't know the answer to that.

Speaker 5 We'll see.

Speaker 2 I will see.

Speaker 5 Yeah, that's not great. It's not great when your head coach is saying that, like, do you think that you can win an NBA game with Ben Simmons as your point guard? And I'm an MVP candidate, Ben Simmons.

Speaker 2 And I feel really bad for Sixers fans. I know that Hank, we're going to give Hank a chance to just rip them apart, which he will.

Speaker 5 I honestly feel bad for Ben Simmons.

Speaker 2 No, I don't.

Speaker 2 I don't.

Speaker 5 Imagine making it to this stage in your professional career only to just discover your one glaring weakness, which is you can't score.

Speaker 2 No, I no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 He can't shoot.

Speaker 2 No, he's afraid of shooting. No, I don't think he physically can shoot.
I think that he is, in fact, right-handed.

Speaker 5 And Kevin O'Connor has apparently been on this for a while.

Speaker 2 No, he's not.

Speaker 5 A lot of people think that he's right-handed.

Speaker 2 No, he's not. He's non-dominant.
Yes. Neither hand.

Speaker 5 He doesn't have a hand that works.

Speaker 2 No hands work for Ben Simmons. He can shoot it.

Speaker 5 I always thought that that saying the Wayne Gretzky Michael Scott quote didn't really make that much sense. He actually proves that you do, in fact, miss 100% of the shots that you don't take.

Speaker 2 Yeah, like saying Ben Simmons can't shoot is actually wrong because, well, no, it's right in that he, when you say he can't shoot, you're saying he's a bad shooter.

Speaker 2 He can't shoot in that he mentally cannot make himself shoot.

Speaker 5 Do you think he's got that

Speaker 5 disease, the brain thing, where you're afraid of holes? You remember when the iPhones came out and everybody pretended to be afraid of the camera?

Speaker 2 Oh, that was like the even. No, that's tryptophobia.
Yeah, tryptophobia.

Speaker 5 He might be afraid of holes.

Speaker 2 He needs to get hit in the eye, so there's three rims. Exactly.
Like LeBron.

Speaker 2 it's that clip of him passing uh the ball when he was standing under the hoop with trey young coming over who he's got like a foot on was just

Speaker 9 it's insane i don't know how that happens in a basketball game hank the floor is yours this quote just came out like a few minutes ago so you probably didn't see it but joel and bead said i'll be honest i thought the turning point was when we i don't know how to say it is when we had an open shot and we made one free throw yes so and that makes perfect sense.

Speaker 2 You can't have a guy out there who does.

Speaker 2 That would be like if we went out there.

Speaker 2 I know, obviously, Ben Simmons is a great defender. I'm not knocking him there.
He had 11 assists, like, he, or 14, or no,

Speaker 2 he had, sorry, 13 assists. So he's doing stuff that have an impact on the game.
But if you put any of us in an NBA game, we would pass up open looks because we would be afraid of getting blocked.

Speaker 2 Like, we would do the same thing.

Speaker 9 The only person that's compared, like, like, Rayjean Rondo early in his career was kind of like that, where he just didn't shoot or look for offense, but he also would at least shoot layups.

Speaker 9 And, like, you know, if you needed to get a shot, he would get a shot.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Like go to the shop.
Even if it was ugly, he would shoot.

Speaker 5 If you took an open layup, you should probably consider taking the open layup.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Joe Kuvnoa would not look at the hoop when he was like at the foul line, but he would still, just to keep him honest, do his weird motion.

Speaker 2 It's just, it's absolutely like, I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

Speaker 2 And listen, we also need to put some blame on Doc Rivers, who, like, we went through that on Thursday, but he has not a great history outside of the one championship.

Speaker 2 And Embiid, look, Embiid is a great, great player, and he's the guy who you're going to build around if you're the Sixers. But he was so sloppy.
Like, he's just a sloppy guy.

Speaker 7 He loves falling down. I think his hands.

Speaker 2 He turtles.

Speaker 5 I think his hands might be too big. He might be too big.

Speaker 5 He's all fingers. He's just doing a lot of poking.

Speaker 5 And there were, yeah, there were a few times where, you know, it was clear that he was going to be the person that was going to provide all the offense.

Speaker 5 And if you, if you make him drive to the hole in the fourth quarter, he's going to bounce it off his shins every time.

Speaker 5 I think he has a little mental issue, too. It's like they built an entire team out of Chuck Mablox when he forgot how to throw the ball to first base.

Speaker 2 Except the only guy who could play is Doc Rivers'

Speaker 2 son or

Speaker 2 his son-in-law who's out there playing in Seth Curry, who actually was playing well, but that's pretty much it.

Speaker 9 And he was the one guarding Kevin Herter.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And Kevin Herter, we got to talk about the Hawks, but we got to, I want to say one thing, though, for the Sixers fans, because I actually, enough time has passed, an hour has passed since the end of the game.

Speaker 2 I actually think that if you're a Sixers fan, in a weird way, this is for the good.

Speaker 2 And I know that that makes no sense on face value because you can go through the entire process and you can point to a million different things that went wrong.

Speaker 2 You wish you had Jason Tatum, all these things.

Speaker 2 You wish you kept Jimmy Butler, trader for James Harden. But at the end of the day, this was going to happen no matter what.
Ben Simmons does not, he does not want to shoot basketballs.

Speaker 9 But they've lost lost so much value with him.

Speaker 2 Of course. Of course.

Speaker 5 But it's better you find out in such a spectacular failure than to have it be like a slow, like death from a thousand paper cuts where he kind of doesn't show up for series at a time.

Speaker 5 It's better that it happens in a great big way that's impossible to ignore.

Speaker 9 But he's so young he could go somewhere else and be nasty.

Speaker 2 But someone will think, like, I think he still will have trade value because someone will think I can fix that. I can make him better because he still has elite levels to his game.

Speaker 2 It's just the whole point of shooting shooting a basketball into a hoop is the game, and he just doesn't want to do that.

Speaker 5 He might be the best player in the NBA if there wasn't a basket.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 5 It was keepaway.

Speaker 2 If it was Hoosiers when they're not allowed. No, they didn't get to play with the basketball

Speaker 2 in that scene. When

Speaker 2 they weren't able to practice the basketball.

Speaker 9 The Four Corners era.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Ben Simmons would be elite.

Speaker 2 I just, I think that if you're a Sixers fan, in a weird, deep-down way, I know how terrible this is, and that was truly horrific, the way it all unfolded, and the way they lost these games.

Speaker 2 I really do think there's a silver lining of like, this wasn't going to work, and now at least it has to change.

Speaker 5 Yeah, and also, if you're a Philadelphian,

Speaker 5 your native mindset is always just being pissed off at your sports teams. Pop at the Super Bowl.

Speaker 5 This is like, you're like a duck in water if you're a Philly fan, because now you get to call into Big Ant and Angelo and be like, you got to blow the whole thing up, Big Ant.

Speaker 5 I'll take my answer off the air. You know, like, this is what you've practiced for your whole life.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 5 If Philadelphia became an elite sports city, I mean, well, let's think about it this way. After they win a Super Bowl, they grease up their light poles.
People climb up them.

Speaker 5 Who knows how many lives were saved by Ben Simmons not being able to shoot a first shot?

Speaker 2 It's true. Yeah.
If you're a Sixers fan, if you're a Philly fan right now, you pop in the Super Bowl DVD, you think about Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins, and you just kind of...

Speaker 2 It's actually for the better because this was never going to work.

Speaker 2 And you hope that you get someone who can make Jerome Bede not have to turn the ball over in every fourth quarter and fall on the ground because he's the only offense.

Speaker 2 I do want to give credit to the Hawks. Kevin Herder, max contract right now, sign it.
That was a legacy game for him. And so Trey Young was terrible tonight.
We can all agree.

Speaker 2 It was probably the most fascinating game to watch in that it wasn't a very great game. Game seven, Nets Bucks was a great game.

Speaker 2 This game, though, was so fascinating because you had one guy in Ben Simmons who refused to shoot.

Speaker 2 And then you had Trey Young, who was having a terrible, terrible night and still was like, fuck it, I'm shooting every shot from wherever.

Speaker 2 And, you know, he ends up like, it wasn't a great night for him. He did still make it happen with the assists.
But the Hawks in general, no one picked them to go to the Eastern Conference final.

Speaker 2 They are a great story. They're like...

Speaker 2 I'm sitting here and I'm still thinking like the Sixers were a better team, but the Hawks deserve to win this series. They were resilient.

Speaker 2 Like they came back from those games that they won where it was just horrific for the Sixers, and they deserve all the credit, and Trey Young's a superstar.

Speaker 5 And we get to see another couple weeks of Trey Young doing just silencing crowds.

Speaker 5 The emergence of Trey Young, the troll, has been my favorite part of these playoffs, with the exception of the Sons and Four guy.

Speaker 5 But I love watching people get pissed off at Trey Young because he seems to actually enjoy playing that role of being the heel.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. He's really good at it.

Speaker 5 Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm trying to, like, I was getting all worked up for Nut Sixers next round.
So I'm trying to figure out ways where I'm going to pretend that I'm actually excited about Hawksbucks.

Speaker 5 Kevin Herder, sweet nickname. They call him Red Velvet,

Speaker 5 which is amazing. If you're a red-headed player, you're either going to have the best nickname of all time or the worst.
It's like the most,

Speaker 5 like, it's an extremely polarizing thing if you have a ginger that's good at sports, because you either have to just call him the Red Mamba, like Scalabrini, but Red Velvet is just, it's the smoothest sweet name.

Speaker 2 Yeah. And it's, they just, they deserve a ton of credit because I just, I didn't expect this, and I was definitely wrong.
And Trey Young is,

Speaker 2 having that type of guy on your team who is, even if it's not going well for him, he's like, one, he's going to help in other ways, but two, he's never going to stop.

Speaker 2 He has the exact polar opposite confidence of Ben Simmons. He could miss 100 shots in a row, and he will still take a three-pointer from the logo and be like, this one's going in.

Speaker 2 Ben Simmons will pass up a million shots in a row, and on the millionth one, he'll be like, yep, still going to pass it up. Too scared to shoot.

Speaker 5 Yeah, yeah we got sweet lou will too

Speaker 2 pepperlou john collins just jumping all over people i mean they're a fun team and it's i'll talk myself into it and the the hawks crowds have been awesome like yeah we're gonna get into this it's good it's good it's good everything's good look would have liked to see the nets but it's good it's good guys

Speaker 5 hank do you have any last last thoughts for Philadelphia fans out there? I know that you, it's kind of been like a tough love situation between them. Have you grown to respect them?

Speaker 9 Well, yeah, I mean, I think they tried their hardest. It's been, you know, 20 years since they made the Eastern Conference Finals.

Speaker 9 They were so close this year, and I think eventually they're going to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Speaker 2 You're going to put your reputation on Philly?

Speaker 9 I do believe, I truly believe, you know, as much as I've said bad things about Philly, it's only been my honest opinion. And I do believe eventually they will make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Speaker 9 So that's, you know.

Speaker 5 Just trust the process. Yeah,

Speaker 9 you can go to bed at night being like, yeah, a few more pieces here and there, a different coach.

Speaker 2 At some point,

Speaker 2 it's going to happen.

Speaker 9 A bunch of injuries to other teams and other players.

Speaker 5 We can make it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I wonder if Bogdanovich is.

Speaker 9 It's not like Atlanta was losing a starter or anything. And

Speaker 9 one of their best bench players.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 But, fuck, man.

Speaker 2 Bogdanovich is definitely... You know what's funny is I always forget Tony Snell is on the Hawks.

Speaker 2 And if Tony Snell, if like the Hawks play the Suns and it's Tony Snell versus Campaign in the finals, that would be very funny. Yeah.
For me, just me personally, pretty much.

Speaker 2 But the Hawks deserve credit.

Speaker 2 I want to make sure that we stop pause and say that this this team deserves a ton of credit because

Speaker 2 they just haven't given up.

Speaker 2 People pick the Knicks, people pick the Sixers, and they just fucking, if they have to win it ugly, they win it ugly. If they have to win it with Trey Young hitting every shot, they win it that way.

Speaker 2 Buckdonovich, all those guys. Kevin Herter is like, fuck, man.
The Kevin Herter game. It happened.
That happened. Kevin Herter game happened.
All right, let's talk Nets Bucks. So I was there.

Speaker 2 It was an awesome game. Incredible game.

Speaker 2 It was an all-time silent arena moment at the end, flashing forward. So the Kevin Durant shot to end regulation.

Speaker 5 That doesn't happen if it wasn't for the turnover right before that. Yes.
Like the game was pretty much over at that point.

Speaker 2 But it was that, I still don't know how they didn't, like,

Speaker 2 I guess they, you know, want to bring a double with, like, six seconds, but he, it was so, like, I've never been.

Speaker 2 in a moment where it's like he's gonna make the shot no matter what. It's just whether it's a three or a two.

Speaker 5 I thought it was a three when he hit it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, right. Well, I did not.
I never thought it was a three. Although, the um, I posted a clip on my Instagram stories.
The Jumbotron said three-pointer.

Speaker 5 That's tough. Which sucks.

Speaker 2 And they brought out the ropes

Speaker 2 for the front row to like keep everyone off. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And then I was like, wait, that was definitely a two-pointer.

Speaker 5 Did he actually change into smaller shoes right after that? No. Or was somebody joking about that? I think that was okay.

Speaker 10 They pulled the wool over my eyes.

Speaker 2 But that

Speaker 2 end of the game shot,

Speaker 2 that one was an all-time, we've talked about the moments that, like, the sounds that happen in arenas, the shriek, the stun silence, to have Kevin Durant airball the three-pointer after an unbelievable game where he put the nets on his back and Blake two, but he did everything for them.

Speaker 2 Everyone looked around like, wait, there wasn't a foul? Like, what happened? What happened? Or it had to be black? Like, is this something, and there's only 0.3 seconds left? Something's wrong.

Speaker 2 Basically, everyone's like, no, no, no, this isn't the ending.

Speaker 5 like turn the turn the machines back we got to replay this you know what that is that's the buffalo wild wingsification of sports that we're seeing yeah so like anytime a big team uh experiences heartbreak like that you do have that second because you think maybe we're gonna get built if it's soccer it's like maybe var saw something different right like a goal is never really a goal until it's like cemented in stone but on a play like that it's just like it ends with a whimper it's like okay what next something else has to happen now we talk about it all the time with football when you have a big play and you just sit there on a fourth down.

Speaker 2 You're like, so the flag's coming? Yeah, you know. And it just doesn't.
You wait that beat. That beat happened in the entire arena and everyone's like, oh, wait, it's over.

Speaker 5 You wait for the refs to huddle up and then the announcer's like, I wonder what they're talking about.

Speaker 5 And then you have another 15 seconds where they're just actually saying, no, there's 0.3 seconds left, not 0.4 seconds.

Speaker 2 Yeah, the game is fully over. So that was only the third time in game seven history.
This was a stat from our friend Kirk Goldsbury.

Speaker 2 Third time in game seven history dueling 40-point performances, which is pretty cool.

Speaker 2 The other times were Paul Pierce versus LeBron in 2008 and Sam Jones versus Oscar Robinson in 1963, which we obviously remember that game.

Speaker 2 Weirdly, I think Kevin Durant gained from this.

Speaker 5 Oh, yeah. I mean, the shot at the interregulation was huge.

Speaker 2 And just the way this, like, Harden going down, Kyrie going down, the game five, this game, 48 points, where he just was so incredible.

Speaker 2 I think maybe not gained because obviously he doesn't go to the the finals.

Speaker 2 He doesn't go to the conference finals, but I think people appreciate Kevin Durant more than they ever have watching him play without other players and being as incredible as he.

Speaker 5 And he had an all-time sad face, too, after that shot. I felt so bad for him.
He looked like a puppy.

Speaker 2 He thought that the machines were broken too. He's like, that's not what my shot is.
I'm telling you, it was the weirdest feeling. Everyone was looking around like, wait, that's it?

Speaker 5 Well, because he tried to do the exact same shot when he pulled off earlier. And you're like, no, I already saw this.
This shot goes in. Right.
I saw it. It happened like five minutes ago.

Speaker 5 That shot went in the basket. Kevin Durant doesn't airball a shot.
That's probably what he was thinking. He was like, Kevin Durant doesn't airball this, Kevin.
What are you doing? Yeah.

Speaker 5 Yeah, it was tough. It was tough to see Blake's performance.
I think he.

Speaker 5 How many times does Blake dive on the floor during one game? He was awesome. He loves the floor.

Speaker 2 He was

Speaker 2 grit and grind. Yeah.
All night long. And the Bucs deserve a ton of credit.
Giannis, obviously, this is going to be... It might be their best chance to win a title, especially now that it's the Hawks.

Speaker 2 No offense to the Hawks, but I think people would pick the Bucs over the Hawks.

Speaker 2 It also was a great lesson in

Speaker 2 it doesn't matter if you suck as long as you can make some big shots at the end, because there was a moment going into the fourth quarter where Drew Holiday was two for 17 and Chris Middleton was four for 16.

Speaker 2 And they both, like, Drew Holiday had a Jon Starks game going. He was terrible.
He was terrible.

Speaker 2 He ends up going three for six in his last six field goal attempts, and Chris Middleton goes five for 10 in his last 10. And it's like, that's, you can suck for three quarters.

Speaker 2 And that was kind of the difference, is those guys started making some shots and helping Giannis out. And that made the difference in the entire game.

Speaker 5 I also like Coach Buds. Coach Buds has this look on his face all the time.
Like he's, he's got a resting, scared face. He's just terrified of everything that's happening.
He makes good moves.

Speaker 5 I think, was it a few years ago where we were like lamenting the loss of Joe Pronci? Yeah. Because he was an all-time face guy.
Yeah. And I think Buds is a worthy air apparent to that.

Speaker 2 He looks like a dad who's coming down to tell the kids at the sleepover to like be quiet, but he's also a little intimidated by the kids. Like there's what you're like, I'm a big kid.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I'm a little, like, they might kick my ass, but he's got the kind of messy hair, the messy facial hair. He's barely slept, and he's like, hey, can you guys keep it? You know what?

Speaker 2 Keep having your fun. I'll just go back upstairs.

Speaker 5 Yeah, or like a dad that gets called in for like a parent-teacher counseling session, and he's not sure what the news is going to be, but he does know that his son very much did not want him to go to this meeting.

Speaker 2 He's just tired.

Speaker 7 He's just tired. He's tired, and he's scared.

Speaker 5 He just looks terrified all the time. But I love Coach Buds.
I like the Bucs. I like their fans.

Speaker 5 That's the only thing about Trey Young is like, I don't know if Trey Young can muster up hatred towards the city of Milwaukee.

Speaker 11 They seem to be kind of like

Speaker 11 the sons of the East.

Speaker 2 I think Trey Young can do that. I think that's what makes Trey Young special.
I think he can muster it up for anyone.

Speaker 5 Like they don't, he can play the respect card. Every single thing.
I think Trey Young is going to muster up respect for just everybody in the media.

Speaker 5 I feel like we're overdue for him to be like, no one said that we could be here. They all said that that we were going to lose in the first round, which is true.

Speaker 5 I think, yeah, we definitely said that.

Speaker 5 So he'll just play like us versus the world card right now.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 from just a storyline perspective, it also is great. Like the Nets losing.

Speaker 2 Them coming back next year, they'll probably bring everyone back. They'll be a super team, but it does feel like they have to earn it a little bit.

Speaker 5 James Harden could also get really fat this offseason because with a hamstring, he's going to have to give that rest for probably like a month, a month and a half.

Speaker 2 That first half, I forget how much it sucks to watch James Harden play basketball when he's just looking to get fouled and he's not looking to like do anything but get fouled I actually it was they got to get a little bit more Brooklyn with their game I think Michael Ravenport was right yeah how do we add like an element of Brooklynness to the Brooklyn Nets true I had a um like one of those moments post-COVID where you realize how much you miss the little things I walking out of the arena I just was talking about like James Harden fouls and I got into like a spirited debate with a complete stranger stranger about whether it's James Harden's fault for trying to flop or if it's the ref's fault for allowing that and like you know letting him do it and then giving him free throws all the time.

Speaker 2 And it was great. It was like, man, this was fun.

Speaker 2 Like we would, you know, when you like accidentally hit the same pace as a stranger walking down the street, you're like, we're just walking together for a couple blocks here.

Speaker 5 That's a major dude's rock situation.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and I was just like, you know what? That was cool. All right.
See ya.

Speaker 5 Have we had the take yet that James Harden gets injured because he jumps into fouls? Like he jumps at weird angles?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, he doesn't get injured that much, but yeah, he's but this year.

Speaker 7 I got corrected by that this year, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 I'm going off what I see right now, big cat. And what I see right now is a very injured James Harden.

Speaker 2 It was, uh, I don't know. I mean, it's it's weird having both the Nets and the Sixers when everyone thought that it was going to be like a collision course, yeah, to have that be out.

Speaker 2 But hey, Hawks and Bucks, we're going to fucking enjoy the hell out of it.

Speaker 5 David Stern would never let this happen.

Speaker 2 Ever, ever, ever. Adam Silver was definitely like, what's the name of our mayor here in New York City?

Speaker 2 De Blasio. De Blasio.
No, Warren Wilhelm, right? De Blasio, he definitely looked like de Blasio sitting at home with his Nets jersey and Nets hat on from game seven. Yeah.
Like, let's go, boys.

Speaker 2 We got this. God damn.

Speaker 5 I wanted Blake to get a chip. I did too.

Speaker 2 But you know what?

Speaker 5 I just want to see Dax on the street.

Speaker 2 Hopefully he stays.

Speaker 2 Hopefully, he stays. Hopefully, you know, we're going to get him on this summer.
Hopefully, he stays. Hopefully, he gets a chip.
Like I said, they're earning it now. Yeah.
They're fully aging again?

Speaker 2 Yes. Yes.
Exciting. Yeah.
Dispatch. Especially

Speaker 2 season. It comes back for two days and you start mumbling your words.
Also,

Speaker 5 this was the curse of lucky, leprechaun. Yeah.

Speaker 2 That's true. Yeah.

Speaker 5 Yeah. You could say that the Celtics beat the Nets.

Speaker 2 How close do you think Kyrie was to coming back and playing? Probably like 95%? And you're just like, nah, I don't want to. He probably, yeah, he definitely could have.

Speaker 2 He's probably waiting for the

Speaker 2 conference finals. I teed that up for you.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 5 Actually, was Reggie Miller right?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 5 If they had rested Kevin Durant and James Harden,

Speaker 2 do we, as a nation, owe Reggie Miller an apology? Yeah, Reggie, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 Kevin Durant ran out of gas in the overtime, which he absolutely should have because he played every minute and he put the team on his back.

Speaker 2 But yeah, he could have used a couple extra minutes of rest. Or a couple days.
Yeah, a couple days of rest. All right, our sons are wagon.

Speaker 2 No Chris Paul, no Kawhi. So I think that evens it out.
Devin Booker was insane. He scored.
He had 11 points going into halftime, and I think he ended with 40.

Speaker 9 Also, the Clippers game six on Friday night was one of the craziest swings in basketball.

Speaker 2 I've seen it in the last one. Yes, it was crazy.

Speaker 5 And then after the game, when they were interviewing Mann, because it was the Terrence Mann game, right?

Speaker 7 Yep, it was the Terrence Mann game.

Speaker 5 And they were interviewing him and Paul George at the same time. Paul George was one of the best spin zones that I've ever seen.

Speaker 5 He was like, you know, I always knew that Terrence had this in him because I look at him, I'm like, you know what? He reminds me a lot of me.

Speaker 2 Paul George

Speaker 2 is

Speaker 2 like a Hall of Fame. Don't let him answer a question for too long.

Speaker 2 Like if he, if he gets to, if he gets to more than 30 seconds, he's going to say something not like terrible, just ridiculous.

Speaker 5 No, that was, I loved it because I could see the wheels turning in his head. It's like, dude, yeah, protect that ego.

Speaker 2 I think that's how playoff P happened. I think he was just answering a question and he got too far down the road and he was like, yeah, they call me playoff P?

Speaker 5 And then Ballmer's pumped to be there. Ballmer is

Speaker 5 the living definition of the word pumped. Yes.
He's just pumped all day, every day. What's up?

Speaker 9 If I was a billionaire like Steve Ballmer Ballmer and the coach wasn't wearing a mask, like I feel like I just wouldn't be wearing a mask either. If I own the team and I was sitting courtside,

Speaker 9 I feel like he's wearing the shittiest, like most uncomfortable mask. Here's my thing.

Speaker 2 It looks uncomfortable.

Speaker 5 I think he's got like some sort of immune issue. Maybe not him, but maybe somebody close to him because he's the only person that's wearing a big mask.

Speaker 2 I also think that when you get to a certain level of richness, you are like, my life is so sweet, I don't want to die.

Speaker 2 Under any circumstances. Like, I would, if I were his level of richness, I'd probably wear a mask all the time because I'd be like, you know what?

Speaker 2 Even a common cold, like, this life I got right now is so fucking sweet. I'm not giving it up for anything.

Speaker 5 He also probably, like, a billionaire walks into a room with the unwashed masses. He's like, I don't know what these poors have.
Right, exactly. They don't have access to all the future medicine I do.

Speaker 2 He's got to make sure he keeps it clean. It is a very uncomfortable mask.
His hug of Paul George was very funny, though. He was just,

Speaker 2 it's been a very funny hug playoff. Steve Nash and Kevin Durant after game five was awesome.

Speaker 5 Did you see that video of Steve Ballmer just clapping it up in a room, just going, yes, yes, yes. Just sweating through his shirt?

Speaker 2 He wakes up sweating.

Speaker 5 He makes Chris Berman look like the driest man in America.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think the shower just never takes for him. No.
Shout out White Sox Dave.

Speaker 2 So yeah, the Suns, Devin Booker game.

Speaker 12 It was a Devin Booker game.

Speaker 5 All I'm saying is Suns and Four.

Speaker 10 Suns and Four.

Speaker 2 Devin Booker game. Although, Suns fans, we got a...
I saw there was a new fight video. Let's not make this a thing.

Speaker 10 This one looked a little less chill.

Speaker 2 Yeah, this one wasn't. We saw the full video.

Speaker 5 It was a beatdown. Like, Like you were a half second away from a curb stomach.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it was, it was bad. It was bad.

Speaker 2 The Suns and Four original video, if you watched the whole video, the Suns and Four guy had a full beer poured on his head, which shout out the guy who got beat up, who did a post-interview.

Speaker 2 I actually respect, I've swung. I now like that guy because to get beat up, go viral, and then be like, you know what? I want my name and face more out there.
That takes a level of

Speaker 2 lack of self-awareness that everyone should aspire to have.

Speaker 5 No, this guy just likes having his name on the internet Yeah, he like he likes opening up an app like Twitter and seeing his own face on it right to him.

Speaker 5 That's fame rough and rowdy thing you can do to stick around fame. He should actually try to fight Sons and Four guy at Rough and Rowdy.

Speaker 2 We would do it. We'd put on that fight for show.

Speaker 5 I liked how he was saying that I just got scratched on my nose and never actually got punched on it. Yeah, you can see it.

Speaker 2 Like I have a black eye.

Speaker 5 I don't have a black eye. You give me another week.
I'm going to think he actually won the fight.

Speaker 2 Yes, yes. But yeah, the Sons, they're a waggy.

Speaker 5 Do we need to ask though, like, whose man's is that team? Is it Chris Paul's team or is it Devin Booker's team? I think who's Batman, who's Robin?

Speaker 9 I think. I think they have the perfect age disparity where Chris Paul is old enough where he's just like, yeah, like step under my wing, young guys.

Speaker 5 Who's Batman and who's Catwoman not getting her pussy eaten?

Speaker 2 I think Devin Booker's Batman.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 9 But he also probably defers to Chris Paul.

Speaker 2 I think it's like an old

Speaker 2 old dog, young dog thing, where it's like the old dog knows all the tricks, but sometimes you need the young dog to go run down that tennis ball. Like it's just that's just the reality of it.

Speaker 2 So, Devin Booker is needed very much so to be that guy who can carry the team and score a ton of points.

Speaker 5 The young dog also keeps the old dog alive for longer, with the exception of champion major R.I.P. Yeah, but that's that's why a lot of people get a younger dog.

Speaker 5 Yeah, because it keeps the older one active, so it's good for both of them.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so 40-point triple-double for Devin Booker. Um, insane game, insane game.
Like I said, he had third, he had 11 points going into halftime, and then he just went off.

Speaker 2 Um, and playoff playoff playoff b's been playing really well but not enough for devin booker is playoff okay no yeah i mean he he definitely deserves all the credit for that Utah Jazz series because Kawhi got hurt and that was it I when is Chris Paul coming back we don't know okay so does he actually have the cocoa I don't know or is he like in advanced protocol stages because he was exposed to well no he's got the vaccine so he wouldn't have to be in I think he's got cocoa I think he does too I hope he's okay if LeBron had it he would quarantining but it's symptom-free.

Speaker 2 Symptom-free. Okay.
Devin Booker's got this. Have you seen the cars that Devin Booker drives into the arena every day? It's fucking awesome.

Speaker 5 Is it one of those spiders, one of those three wheelers?

Speaker 2 Well, he has a different one every time. That's cool.
And they're all like old, souped-up Cadillacs.

Speaker 9 It's got to be tough for Ben Simmons, too. Like, that's his ex-girlfriend's now dating Booker.

Speaker 2 And Booker actually knows how to shoot a basketball into a hoop.

Speaker 10 Right. He can find a hole.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that one's. That's good.
That's the part that really kills.

Speaker 5 That's an upgrade.

Speaker 2 What is Ben? Like, Ben Simmons, what do you do? What do you do?

Speaker 9 Someone I saw on Twitter, Markel Foltz also couldn't shoot in Philadelphia. True, yeah, true.

Speaker 2 So you just got to change the scenery. But can he shoot in Orlando?

Speaker 9 He learned how to shoot.

Speaker 2 He better sort of better.

Speaker 2 I remember

Speaker 2 he was like literally like he was broken.

Speaker 9 He was on it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he's totally broken.

Speaker 9 He is a little more fixed.

Speaker 5 What about a hypnotist? That's what I would go for if I was the Sixers. Just like...

Speaker 5 Get the men in black thing and erase their entire memory of this entire playoff series.

Speaker 2 Do you know what the problem is? I actually am now talking myself into like, I kind of want Ben Simmons on the Bulls.

Speaker 2 Just because he's 6'10 and he has great defense and like, oh my God, the skills that he has.

Speaker 2 If he could ever learn, I think he's going to be getting paid a lot of money and be on like four or five teams.

Speaker 2 And every team's going to be like, if we can teach him how to shoot, he could be one of the best players in the NBA.

Speaker 5 Yeah, how old is he right now?

Speaker 2 He's 25.

Speaker 2 He could be one of the more. Yeah, you can learn more.
You can learn how to shoot.

Speaker 7 He's all learned how to shoot.

Speaker 10 Rayjon Ronda learned how to shoot.

Speaker 2 He knows everything else. Yeah.
He has everything else. It's just the shooting part, which is important.
We should should keep stressing.

Speaker 7 Yes, it's very important. It's very important.

Speaker 5 I think more important than the shooting is the mental aspect of I don't want to shoot. I think he just doesn't like shooting.

Speaker 2 Right. Oh, man.
All right. Hockey talk real quick.
Golden Knights tied up the series with the Canadiens, which actually kind of sucks.

Speaker 2 The Canadiens were up until late, I think, in the third period. They blew that one.

Speaker 9 They got the own goal, the Flurry.

Speaker 9 Oh, they did? He was trying to clear the puck behind the net, and it kicked out, and they just scored it.

Speaker 5 With like 30 seconds. That was the last game.
Tonight, they won an overtime.

Speaker 2 Yeah, the Saints won an overtime.

Speaker 5 They benched Flurry today, which is something that no one really saw coming until what's been happening in the playoffs with him. He's doing whatever the opposite of standing on your head is.

Speaker 5 He's had like a real sting. It might be a thing where they could come back, beat the Canadiens, and then Flurry's back in net next series.

Speaker 2 And then the Islanders game was incredible. That ending.
I made a point of going home and watching it after I left the Nets game, and it was like,

Speaker 2 I saw everyone tweeting about it, and I'm like, nah, it can't be this good. And then I watched, like, how the fuck did this happen? So that was incredible.

Speaker 2 And shout out all the people who, when I was like, when game seven is going on and it was incredible and everyone was talking about it, and I was like, this game is awesome.

Speaker 2 Shout out the guys who replied and like, you're talking about hockey, right? Because the hockey game's better. Just always a competition.
I love that. I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 It's good to keep that rivalry fresh for everyone. But that Islanders game was awesome.
And we might go to the Kali on game six. Maybe last game ever, right?

Speaker 12 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Should we go to the old barn? Close the barn down. Get loud in that place.

Speaker 2 Butter knife?

Speaker 2 It could be the move. There's just really

Speaker 9 there could be a butter knife situation.

Speaker 2 You cannot be able to butter knife our way in there.

Speaker 5 Just pee before you go. Because there's like two bathrooms in the entire arena.
And you have to walk all the way around in the conclusion to get it. They have sinks.

Speaker 2 I assume they have sinks.

Speaker 5 We might just have to dipe up for it, boys.

Speaker 2 Trash cans work. I didn't break the seal on Saturday night until the end of the third quarter.
I've never been been more proud of myself.

Speaker 2 You still got it. You still got it situation.

Speaker 5 So they, I don't know if they still make it. There was this invention like 10, 15 years ago called the Stadium Pal.

Speaker 5 And what it was, it was essentially just like a condom that you put on the tip of your pee-pee.

Speaker 2 It's a catheter.

Speaker 5 And then it had like a tube that ran to a bag on your side. So you could go to a game and just piss on yourself all day.
Yeah. We should do that.
We should do that.

Speaker 5 We should dipe up with the stadium pal.

Speaker 2 Absolutely.

Speaker 2 All right. Should we talk some U.S.
Open? I'm happy that we can talk U.S.

Speaker 2 Open because there was a moment on Sunday afternoon where if I were allowed to tweet such things, I would tweet, I would have tweeted, if Bryson D.Chambeau wins this U.S.

Speaker 2 Open, I'm going to kill myself. I didn't tweet it because you're not allowed to tweet it.
They would have banned my account. But I was thinking it at that moment.
Thank God.

Speaker 2 He sucks. Because so it was, he was minus five through eight with the solo lead, and then he finished, ended up finishing tied for 26th.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I mean, we call him a lot of stuff on this show. We've called him what, a steroid user, a cheater, a dork, a loser, a nerd.
What else have we called him? Snowman. Snowman.

Speaker 10 We call him a lot of stuff, but we've never called him a quitter until today.

Speaker 5 And he quit when his giant cleats didn't save him. What was the 13th hole on that drive that he had? His foot slipped out from under him on his left foot.

Speaker 5 At that point, Bryson was like, I don't want to be out here anymore. And he quit.

Speaker 5 He is a mentally weak golfer.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 5 And we already knew because he's like having heart attacks because somebody's calling calling him by the wrong name.

Speaker 2 Right.

Speaker 5 But this was, this was even noteworthy for Bryson to show his lack of mental toughness.

Speaker 2 Shout out the guy who, after Bryson skulled one over the green, was like, should have used a calculator on that one.

Speaker 2 That's a funny chirp. John Rahm, though, was, there was a moment, like, I don't know, maybe like five o'clock, six o'clock at night on Sunday where it felt like everyone wanted to lose the U.S.
Open.

Speaker 2 No one wanted to win it. People were just imploding left and right.
But John Rahm finishes with two insane putts.

Speaker 2 He also, he was the guy who, I think, if you talk to anyone in golf, he's like, oh, yeah, who's the best golfer who hasn't broken through? It's John Rahm. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And he had the COVID thing two, two weeks ago where he ended up not, you know, had to pull out when he's got a four-stroke lead going into Sunday.

Speaker 5 And I love his look. He's got, you know, every golfer either looks like an emaciated backboy or like they just got stung by bees.
He looks like he's having the allergic reaction to the bee.

Speaker 5 Like he's just a swollen person.

Speaker 2 He just has a nice pouch.

Speaker 2 He has a nice strength that comes from his belly yep that you just know he's he's gonna be able to last he's got a huge four days of golf big face to him big head he's a big john rahm he's big john

Speaker 5 is he like 6'2 yeah the 6'6 big john rahm i actually see we saw him at shinnecock driving in a little mini sports car and i was like damn that guy's too big for this and his wife has an absolute cannon I don't know if you've seen the clips of like he went to some training camp.

Speaker 5 Some NFL team like invited him out. I don't know what team was like, hey, we should get John Rahm out here to catch a couple balls.
His wife throws like a 35-yard spiral on a dime.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I didn't see that stuff.
They also got engaged at Torrey Pines or maybe married at Torrey Pines. Oh, really? So very is that his home track? So I had the,

Speaker 2 if you've never listened to golf on the radio, it's very fun. So I listened because I was driving into work.
I don't know, he was like around like a whole 13 or 14. So I put it on on the radio.

Speaker 2 Interesting experience. The only thing I really picked up from it, do you know Louis Ustaisen's name? Louis Ustaisen? Yeah, do you know his name?

Speaker 5 It's not Louis Ustaisen?

Speaker 2 No, his name is Lodoic Wickus Theodorus Uostazen.

Speaker 5 That's so sick. That's a classic South African theme.

Speaker 2 They said it. Yeah.
I was like, what are they saying right now? Lodowicus, L-O-D-E-W-I-C-U-S, Theodorus Uostasen.

Speaker 2 Yeah, South America.

Speaker 5 South African people, they name their kids like you would name

Speaker 5 one of the lesser-known Greek gods. Awesome.

Speaker 2 It gives a little bit of class to it. And Brooks was awesome.

Speaker 2 He's got a knee injury. He came back from a serious, serious knee injury six months ago.
And he still finished fourth. So now he's second and fourth.

Speaker 5 And he's never finished behind Bryson at a major in which they have fans.

Speaker 2 Fans. I had a moment on Friday that I had to kind of check myself.

Speaker 2 My son's birthday turned two on Saturday, and so his birthday party with all his friends was on Friday. So we had like kids over and like the parents, and we had the U.S.

Speaker 2 Open on, and one of the parents came over and was like, oh, how's Bryson doing? And I looked him dead in the eye. I was like, we're a fuck Bryson DeCambeau household, just so you know.

Speaker 2 And then I had to be like, wait, dude, you're at a two-year-old's birthday party. Like, this is going to be tough to explain.

Speaker 5 It's a little aggressive.

Speaker 2 So I had a moment where I was like, you know what?

Speaker 2 Maybe I need to cool off on the rivalry.

Speaker 5 No, you got to keep.

Speaker 7 You don't turn down from 10 big games.

Speaker 2 He was so confused. Like, why did that guy just say that to me?

Speaker 5 No, also, shout out to the Golf Streaker.

Speaker 2 had a that. I feel like we don't get that as often.

Speaker 5 So, the golf streaker ran out there. He had two balls with him.
He had a he brought his own golf club. Yep.
Are you allowed to do that?

Speaker 5 You can just go to a golf tournament with a club, like it's a mitt that you take to a baseball game.

Speaker 2 Dude, I saw a guy at the Nets game with a basketball.

Speaker 10 That's awesome.

Speaker 2 So cool. I almost hit it out of his hands, but who does that?

Speaker 5 He's probably like just dribbling through the concourse, crossing people up.

Speaker 2 Not a kid. Yeah.
Not a kid. Like, ball is

Speaker 2 20s.

Speaker 12 I'm pretty sure they sell.

Speaker 2 He was, it was not a sold one. It wasn't like a team logo.
It's a standard

Speaker 2 Wilson or something.

Speaker 2 Ball is truly life. I'm going to this basketball game.

Speaker 5 I'm bringing a basketball. Oh, also, Jake, put a reminder in the file for us to bet the unders on all the first week of NBA games next year because they're switching balls.

Speaker 2 There we go.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but I guess you can bring a club.

Speaker 2 Why are people bringing full bags? I went to one U.S. Open.
I wore a golf glove.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I like that. I also like the dudes that show up in spikes.
Yep. Like to get better traction as they're walking,

Speaker 5 as they're chasing down their favorite golfer.

Speaker 2 Also, Bryson could have used them.

Speaker 5 He could have. Shout out to the guy that left his full case of Stella when Bryson's ball just hit it and nestled up right to the side of it.
There was a lot of weird shots.

Speaker 5 A lot of weird stuff was happening in the afternoon on the back nine. That was it Shauffley's ball got stuck in a tree in the tree after it hit off the golf cart or the golf path.

Speaker 2 Bizarre. And Torrey Pines is just weird because you just have people parasailing.
And what is that called? Parasailing? They were the cameramen.

Speaker 5 They were taking the spot where you would traditionally have the Goodyear blimp.

Speaker 12 But no, but there was above.

Speaker 2 There's other regular guys who are doing it.

Speaker 5 Oh, I thought all the people up there just had cameras.

Speaker 2 No, I don't think so. I think, no, those weren't just...
No.

Speaker 5 It seemed to me like

Speaker 5 you would only see in like a golf video game.

Speaker 2 Yes. And it's just, yeah, like an N64 game.
Yeah. And it was just...

Speaker 9 It was windy, though, so it was probably like good.

Speaker 2 Parasailing? Is it parasailing?

Speaker 9 Parasailing or kiteboarding?

Speaker 2 Kiteboarding? I don't think it's kite. Windsurfing? Is it windsurfing? Are they windsurfing?

Speaker 9 I couldn't see close enough.

Speaker 2 I guess

Speaker 5 they technically are windsurfing.

Speaker 2 They are windsurfing, but that's not wind surfing. Windsurfing.
I think they're paragliding.

Speaker 2 Paragliding?

Speaker 2 I just kept on thinking, like, what if one of them crashes?

Speaker 5 Or crash into each other? Because you don't have air traffic control telling you where to turn. It's just you're in the sky.
The sky belongs to God.

Speaker 13 Wasn't there one of those at the soccer game that crashed?

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah,

Speaker 7 he parachuted into the soccer game.

Speaker 5 Almost took out a full row of people. Yes, yes.
I think he got caught on the spider cam, actually, when he was trying to land.

Speaker 2 Anything from the Euros that we should talk about?

Speaker 2 People got really mad because I posted that screenshot of Ronaldo. Germany.
Apparently, he ran box to box.

Speaker 5 Germany and Netherlands look good. France looks okay.
And Boppy is nice.

Speaker 2 France looks bad. Oh, no, they look okay.
No, that was a loss. That was a tie loss.

Speaker 11 It's a 1-1. A tie-in.

Speaker 5 A 1-1 loss. That's a tie-in.
Which happens. England had a 1-1 loss.

Speaker 2 Big tie loss. Scotland.
0-0. 0-0.
He did worse. 0-0.
Yeah. Big cap.
Even worse loss. But, yeah, so those are some bad losses from some of the favorites.

Speaker 5 It's going to to be the same thing that happens all the time in soccer, where it's just the same four teams from Europe are going to get to the semifinals.

Speaker 2 It's going to be Germany, France.

Speaker 5 England is going to lose in the semifinals, although I am addicted to saying it's coming home.

Speaker 2 Italy and Spain. Yep.
Who cares? Count. Oh, nice.
I like that. I like that.
Hank. And we had no POL this week.
So let's get to our who's back of the week.

Speaker 2 Who's back of the week is brought to you by our friends.

Speaker 14 The Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 14 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 14 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 2 Hank, your who's back of the week?

Speaker 9 My who's back of the week is Red Bull Racing.

Speaker 2 Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 9 They won in France this week.

Speaker 9 And that's now two races since we've had him on and two wins.

Speaker 9 So Horner is locked in on the toilet that he likes likes to piss in and they're I think they're in first in the in the overall standings now right Red Bull is yes they are in the constructors cup constructors cup and Danny Ricardo had a good race as well so the PMT F1 bump is real this was the first time I woke up it was a little hungover and I was like oh I can actually watch this it's kind of delightful right it's weird I'm still I gotta get used I love the show I really do like the show I binged it in like two weeks it's still I'm getting used to watching it live because I don't really know what's going on well it's hard to follow like who's doing well and who's not it is a little hard to follow.

Speaker 2 And there are a lot of people online who are pretending that they know a lot more where it's like just let's all just let's all just admit here that we don't know what we're talking about.

Speaker 9 We're gonna overtake is about the only thing I yeah.

Speaker 2 We're gonna figure it out. Push, push, push, push, push.
That was mega.

Speaker 2 Something about just waking up and having an announcer with an English accent is soothing.

Speaker 7 Yeah. It just works.

Speaker 5 I've got a really bad take, but it's something I truly believe, so I'll share it with you guys in this room here. I think the cars are too loud.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 5 if they could make the cars just like 20% less noisy, you know what? I'd be all in.

Speaker 2 I was actually listening to an F1 podcast. No big deal.

Speaker 7 Sounds exhilarating.

Speaker 2 It is.

Speaker 2 They were actually saying they were lamenting that the cars are too soft. Oh, really? They have gotten a lot softer with

Speaker 2 the electronic

Speaker 2 everything.

Speaker 2 They used to be true American, not actually American. Muscle crew.
No, for real, but you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 Some kick you in the dick and fucking have a car that blows your ears out kind of engine.

Speaker 5 How about this? I'll go either one of two ways with it. Make them a little bit softer or make them just really fucking loud.

Speaker 2 Yeah. No, but I'm just saying it doesn't sound like it's a good thing.

Speaker 5 Because right now, it just reminds me of the Vuvuzelas in car forms, where they're just kind of, they're there in the background and it's a high-pitched hum and it's kind of annoying.

Speaker 10 So if it was a little bit quieter, I'd be happy.

Speaker 5 Or if it was just like, make your balls shake,

Speaker 2 I would like that one. Go with that one if you want to be a real F-1.

Speaker 5 Okay, yeah, the cars are too soft.

Speaker 2 They're too soft.

Speaker 2 It's become, they're basically racing toy cars.

Speaker 5 Yeah, it's the pussification of America, of Europe.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 no, seriously, they that is like a big, that's actually a real complaint. Okay, I must say

Speaker 2 you talked me into it. I'm on board with it.
Yeah, is that it, Hank?

Speaker 9 Uh, also, track and field and swimming.

Speaker 2 It's tis the season. Yep.
Oh, I saw someone. I fuck, I can't remember.
I should have screenshot it. Someone tweeted out, and I thought it was the greatest idea ever.

Speaker 2 I'm sorry that I'm not giving you credit. Please let me know.
I'll give you credit.

Speaker 2 The Olympics, if they had a lane for just regular average people for comparison, would be so incredible. If they had the 10th lane in a swimming pool, be like, all right, let's find

Speaker 2 a 15-pound overweight guy and just let him swim just to show how slow an average person was, it would be so fascinating to watch.

Speaker 5 I'd be cool with that. Another two ideas that I would have for

Speaker 5 also like dye the pool different colors. I think that'd be sick.
If it was like the eastern Washington field or the central Michigan, like give me some different looks to the playing field.

Speaker 5 And then if you took, what if one of those lanes just was basically an aquarium? So you had all sorts of natural sea life in the pool, but there was like glass that divided it.

Speaker 5 So they weren't going to swim into the other guy's lanes. But just like in the middle of the pool, you get some octopuses, you get some flounder, or maybe a couple of sharks.
I think that'd be sick.

Speaker 2 That was, I pitched that idea to Mark Cuban, the real shark tank, where it's a pool full of sharks. And if you get to the other side, then you get investment in your deal.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 I mean, that sounds good. It would be fun to watch.

Speaker 5 That sounds good, too, but it would be nice to see some marine life in the water.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 How about just we'll settle for the dye, the myth dye that

Speaker 2 you know makes a color when you piss in the pool. Just so we can watch and be like, hey, that person pissed.
Yeah, they all do. Yeah, by the way.

Speaker 2 No, I know, but it would be funny to watch in real time, like, oh, they pissed. Oh, they pissed.

Speaker 5 And if the die was actually brown, so it looked like they shot in the pool.

Speaker 7 Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 Yeah. That'd be funny.
Either way, just get normal people, like a normal guy just throwing the shot put

Speaker 2 18 feet. Yep.
Would just be a very funny thing to watch. Yep.

Speaker 2 All right. What's your

Speaker 2 who's back?

Speaker 5 My who's back of the week is Kyle Swarber. Kyle Swarber's back and a big boy.
My favorite baseball player, Kyle Swarber. He's a gnat for life.
We love him in this city. We're going to keep him run.

Speaker 5 We're going to do whatever it takes to keep Kyle Swarber home in DC for as long as we can. He embodies D.C.

Speaker 2 He embodies.

Speaker 2 I know you're like trying to troll me, but you can't troll me. No, I'm not.

Speaker 5 I'm just saying, I love him too. He's right,

Speaker 2 trying to troll.

Speaker 5 You look at that guy's face and you're like, that guy is an East Coaster for life.

Speaker 2 But what I'm saying is I love him. I'm happy that he's doing well.
Like, he's the type of guy

Speaker 2 that I don't, like, he could go to any. He could maybe even, I would even say.

Speaker 2 I would probably not say it out loud, but if he was on the Cardinals and he was hitting home runs, I'd still, like, there'd be a small party and be like, fuck yes, Schwarber, you're the best.

Speaker 5 Three home runs today, two home runs yesterday.

Speaker 2 Just lighten the world on him.

Speaker 2 I think he hit four last weekend.

Speaker 5 Yeah, so I think he's had, what, eight home runs in the last week? Yes. Pretty good week for Kyle Schwarber.
So we're doing what it takes. He's going to stay in D.C.

Speaker 5 Hopefully win several World Series with us going to the Hall of Fame as national. Mr.
Nat is what we're calling him.

Speaker 2 Got it.

Speaker 5 Kyle Schwarber. My other who's back.

Speaker 2 Again, you can't troll him. I'm not.
I'm saying I love Kyle Schwarber. Kyle Schwarber is.

Speaker 2 You totally watched every Schwarber at back.

Speaker 5 I watched him today.

Speaker 5 I have an alert that's set up. Remember when they used to cut into Mark McGuire?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 5 He was in the home run chase? When Schwarber's up, it's like, I call him Schwarbombs. And he's hit a few of those.
I'm really enjoying it.

Speaker 5 And then my other, who's back of the week, is burner accounts because Josh Allen allegedly has a burner account.

Speaker 2 He was joking.

Speaker 5 Was he joking about it?

Speaker 12 Definitely. Are you serious?

Speaker 2 Was he kidding about it? For sure. Wait.
I read Billy's blog about it. Oh, my God.
All right. Let's keep going because this is.
That was like the biggest joke. I know that.

Speaker 5 My blog said it was a joke.

Speaker 12 Oh, okay.

Speaker 7 Okay. I didn't read all of Billy's blog.

Speaker 5 But I was hoping that Josh Allen would have had a burner account.

Speaker 2 No, it was a very clear joke. Okay.

Speaker 5 Clickbait move. Clickbait move on Billy's part.
And you got clickbaited by Billy. I got clickbaited by Billy.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 My who's back is actually Billy because I was walking by the kitchen and he was completely seriously telling Hank that he should do a little cycle of HGH.

Speaker 2 And I just, it just felt good going from last week we were eating 26 papadillas to this week. We're back to like having someone just constantly push steroids on us.

Speaker 9 Well, you know, he's my six-backs coach, and that was one of his suggestions. I'm opening it.

Speaker 2 People are saying you got to do it natural.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I mean I obviously said no to the steroids.

Speaker 2 Yeah, right.

Speaker 9 I am open. My ears are open.

Speaker 5 What about the HGH though? That's steroids.

Speaker 13 I'm just trying to talk Hank down from doing SARMs because he was raising it like actually

Speaker 2 SARMS. Yeah.

Speaker 9 He said should I do SARMs?

Speaker 2 What is SARMs?

Speaker 9 Someone tweeted at me when we had the conversation. We're like, yo, dude, you should definitely do SARMs.
So then I sent to Billy, I was like, should I do SARMs?

Speaker 9 And to Billy's credit, once again, he'd actually written a blog about the dangers of SARMs. So I got all my information from that.
Okay.

Speaker 2 There we go. He's back.
Right. He's back.

Speaker 2 All right, Jake, you're who's back? And then we're going to get to George Kittle and Greg Olson. Yes.
Triple plays are back. Oh, saw this.
Yeah. The Yankees had a walk-off triple play today.

Speaker 8 It has to be the first time that's ever happened.

Speaker 2 You tell us. No.
I don't know if you know if you're going to have a walk-off defensive play. You tell us.
I know. Yes.
No. Game-winning triple play.

Speaker 5 I think it counts.

Speaker 7 I think it's a walk-off.

Speaker 8 It's a game-winning triple play.

Speaker 2 I gotta tell him.

Speaker 7 Okay, I'll do the research.

Speaker 5 It's happened before. Tim Kirchen would,

Speaker 5 he was talking about earlier today. I think he said it was 2009, maybe.

Speaker 2 What are you doing with the mic here?

Speaker 8 We've got some technical difficulties.

Speaker 2 Thank you. It was sick, though.
Triple plays are. Triple plays should replace no hitters because they're cooler than no hitters.

Speaker 5 Actually, I think you should be able to get a run for a triple play. What do you mean?

Speaker 5 On defense, you should be able to score a run if you get a triple play.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 You should also be able to try to get a quadruple play. That's where a run should happen.
So just keep, like if it's bases loaded, try to get everybody out.

Speaker 2 Try to get everyone out, even though you don't need to. Oh, like a

Speaker 2 passball strikeout. No,

Speaker 2 that's what it should be, though. It should be, if you can get to four outs, then you get a run.
Okay. Yeah.
So

Speaker 2 you can do a double play. If there's a one out, you get a triple play.
That should count as a run. I like that.
Yeah. Yeah.
So you're always just trying to get the extra out.

Speaker 5 You should absolutely figure out a way to score on defense.

Speaker 5 Instead of giving us like six more designated hitters, like I'm sure Manfraud is going to try to do at some point this year, just give us what the fans want, and that's defensive runs.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so if you get, if there's two outs and you get a triple play, that should be two extra runs. Yep.
That's all. I'm still looking if it's

Speaker 2 right up there with the free throw. Write that down.
Well, no, we know that this one's not legal. The free throw thing.
I knew that wasn't legal. He wouldn't listen to us.

Speaker 2 Jake, you got it?

Speaker 8 It's the first time in Yankees history they turned a a triple play and one via walk-off.

Speaker 2 We had the only team to the G Yankees.

Speaker 7 27 rings.

Speaker 8 This is a complex that.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 12 It's a what set?

Speaker 8 Complex.

Speaker 2 Bonk.

Speaker 8 Complex?

Speaker 2 Yeah, there we go. There we go.

Speaker 5 Did I teach you that, Syracuse?

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 8 All right. I've been bad with pronunciations today.

Speaker 2 You okay? Yeah, I'm good.

Speaker 5 Sure? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Okay. All set.
All right.

Speaker 8 I'll get the answer for you soon.

Speaker 2 All right. Perfect.

Speaker 2 Okay, here they are. Greg Olson and George Kittle.

Speaker 5 Okay, we now welcome on very special guests.

Speaker 2 Thanks for that clap there.

Speaker 2 This sucks because it's we have Greg Olson and we have George Kittle, but we call George Greg. So like now my brain's already confused.
But we have Greg Olson and George Kittle.

Speaker 2 They have tight end university coming up this week. So we wanted to get them on because they're both friends, longtime friends of the program.

Speaker 2 Greg, I wanted to start with you. Can we do the

Speaker 2 like sentimental stuff at the end? Because I don't want to cry at the beginning of the interview.

Speaker 16 Son, done.

Speaker 2 Okay. All right.
But we will do that at the end.

Speaker 16 Whenever you want. Your show, bud.

Speaker 2 How was your Father's Day?

Speaker 16 It was awesome. I spent it watching my other son, my oldest son, play baseball in Charleston.
Okay. So it was actually pretty awesome.

Speaker 2 And a pretty special Father's Day because

Speaker 2 we'll do that at the end. We want to do that.
No, no, no. We'll do it at the end.
I think we're getting into it. No, no, no.
We're going to do it at the end. I want to give the people a tease.

Speaker 2 All right, so tight end university,

Speaker 2 who decided that this is what you guys are going to do? And was it like some kind of, hey, tight ends aren't respected enough? I'll start with you, Greg.

Speaker 16 That was confusing.

Speaker 16 So George, oh, yeah. So wait,

Speaker 16 why do you call George Greg?

Speaker 5 We just started calling him Greg. It felt like it fit, to be honest.
And then right after we started doing it,

Speaker 5 everybody else started calling him Greg by accident. It was like a, I think ESPN wrote an article and then the headline.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 It called you greg kittle i think what it was and this is gonna be no offense to george but i think we also were like george is just not that's not the name of a dude who's just like throwing people off of him and truck sticking people that's like uh

Speaker 2 you know a king in england or a bulldog like those are george's

Speaker 2 greg yeah like george just doesn't fit the style that that Greg plays.

Speaker 17 Well, hey, I will say I do use Greg on my Uber and my Lyfts and like DoorDash. It's Greg Kittle, just so people don't know it's actually me.

Speaker 2 Oh, wow. Wow.
They'll never say that in disguise. Yeah.
Love that. Love that.
All right. So back to the question.
Tight end University. Tell us how it started and why is Gronk not invited?

Speaker 17 Whoa.

Speaker 16 He was invited. He was invited.
So we'll clear the air on that. We'll get to that in a second.
But I mean, really what happened was back in March when I announced my retirement, George Kittle,

Speaker 16 he just sent me like a, you know, congrats, man, you know, good, good, good career kind of thing. And we just started texting back and forth.

Speaker 16 We had gotten to know each other over the last couple of years. We have the same marketing agent and, you know, just got to know each other from playing and whatnot.

Speaker 16 And he's like, hey, if you ever want to come down to Nashville, I got like five or six different tight ends in the league who stay with me and train down here.

Speaker 16 And I was like, you know, that sounds awesome. You know, I'll try to get down there.
And just from kind of texting back and forth, we kind of thought maybe there'd be something bigger involved.

Speaker 16 And we said, let's get Kelsey involved. And he immediately said yes.
So the three of us kind of jumped on a call.

Speaker 16 And a handful of conversations later, we got over 50 NFL tight ends coming down to Nashville. George is kind of hosting us down there at some facilities he has access to.
And

Speaker 16 it really just started organically from just a random text conversation after I retired.

Speaker 5 So you invited Gronk and you also invited Tebow.

Speaker 2 Is it has

Speaker 11 Tebow there with you right now?

Speaker 16 So I'm going to let George take this one.

Speaker 17 So nothing against Tim Tebow, but I found it hard to invite.

Speaker 17 I wish nothing but the best for Tim Teebo, and I hope he has a fantastic season playing tight end.

Speaker 17 But it's hard for me to not invite like a backup tight end on, let's say, the New York Giants, as opposed to inviting a guy that just started playing tight end position.

Speaker 17 Because the thing is, we do have limited spots. I wish I could make it a brand.

Speaker 17 Every NFL tight end could come. It's accessible to everybody.

Speaker 17 But like what we try to do this year is we wanted to pay for everything for all the tight ends to come to kind of make it a special like event for all tight ends. And so we booked up an entire hotel.

Speaker 17 They're completely out of rooms. We have every room taken or all the block, like we blocked off a certain amount of rooms.
We're completely out of rooms. And so

Speaker 17 we thought we were going to get like 20 guys.

Speaker 17 And next thing I know, we have 47 confirmed. Like as of last week, I think we just got past 50.

Speaker 17 But it's just like, wow, like that's a lot of guys that we weren't, you know, like we kind of expected guys to want to jump in, but it just kind of happened like that.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 17 so hopefully in the next years to come, we can make it like open and available to everybody.

Speaker 5 Just like a quick headline, Grab: Would you like to extend an invitation to Tim Tebow for next year's camp?

Speaker 16 Yes. If he's on a roster this year and he plays tight end, we would love to have him.
We would love to work with him. Once he's officially a tight end, we would love to work with him.

Speaker 2 Okay, so here's a follow-up question. Headline: here's a follow-up question.
And, Greg, I like no offense to Tim Tebow.

Speaker 2 He does get people talking, but from your perspective, you played in the NFL for over a decade, tight end Pro Bowls, everything. What's the thing that

Speaker 2 Tebow or the casual fan doesn't realize about playing the tight end position that like he's not going to be able to pick up overnight? What's the, because he's a crazy athlete, right?

Speaker 2 Great athlete, played minor league baseball, Heisman Trophy, all these things.

Speaker 2 But what's the thing that it doesn't matter if he is great at everything else, but the one thing, it's like you're not going to be able to learn this in one minicamp.

Speaker 2 This takes years and years of practice.

Speaker 16 Yeah, and I don't think it's going to be unique to necessarily Tebow, right?

Speaker 16 I think here's what used to piss me off as a tight end in the NFL, and maybe George feels the same way, but like there's one position in the NFL that gets all the, I never played the position or even played the sport of football before, right?

Speaker 16 I played rugby, I played basketball, I played Australian rules football, I played, right? Like there's all these guys that never played tight end, let alone football.

Speaker 16 And then when they want to make the transition to trying in the NFL, they're you're like, yeah, let's just make that guy a tight end.

Speaker 16 And I always used to take offense to that, you know, like every mini camp, every training camp, we'd have like random guys on our team who never played football.

Speaker 16 And I was like, why did the point guard who never made it from Auburn, like, why did he never be made a safety? Why was it just like the power of, like, that used to piss me off.

Speaker 16 And I'd be like, you guys have no idea how hard this shit is. Like, you guys have not a clue.
So like, this isn't unique to Tebow.

Speaker 16 I just think everybody thinks when their original position or sport comes to an end, like, oh, fuck it, I'll just go play tight end.

Speaker 2 And I'm like, fuck it.

Speaker 5 It actually seems like maybe the hardest position to pick up because you're going to do so much.

Speaker 2 Yeah, what's the skill set that like, would you say is the hardest for a tight end? What's the, what's the part of the game that, that is most difficult to perfect for a tight end?

Speaker 17 I mean, I think it's the fact that you have to be good at everything. Like you can't just like you can't, yeah, you can be an elite route runner.

Speaker 17 You can catch the ball really well you can run really well but then if you can't like hold your own in the run game and you can't like take in hit in the face by a 300 pound defensive end then like you kind of have they kind of have to like uh call plays around you instead of like you being able to be the focal point but like you have to be very good at pass pro running routes uh setting the edge being able to crack on a safety being able to sit block a defensive end like like yeah you have to be in the backfield for protection like a running back where like you just kind of do everything and then it's just if you can do all of those things at a high level so you guys have tight end you, and we always love the debate.

Speaker 5 Whenever it comes up in like college football, there was a debate last year of what DBU is: is it LSU or is it Texas? What would you say is the actual tight end you? Is it Iowa?

Speaker 17 Yeah, it's Iowa. Like, I got Dallas Park on my shirt right now for a reason, baby.
That's tight.

Speaker 16 I ran into Dallas Clark at a concert a couple years ago.

Speaker 17 Um,

Speaker 17 it's Iowa, though.

Speaker 16 I mean,

Speaker 16 come on.

Speaker 17 I mean, you're awesome.

Speaker 16 Dallas was awesome.

Speaker 17 I got Hawkinson. I got Fant in the first round.
Never before done.

Speaker 2 Facts. So

Speaker 17 within like last 10 years, I was.

Speaker 16 Are we saying like NFL career, like accomplishments, like what are we basically?

Speaker 16 Because I mean, if you want to talk, I mean, Miami went five years in a five tight ends in a row who were drafted in the first round. And like the only guy who wasn't was drafted in the second round.

Speaker 5 When was that? That was pretty recent, right?

Speaker 16 Well, so you go, so going back to Miami lineage, right?

Speaker 16 You have Bubba Franks, first round, Shocky, first round, Kellen Winslow, first round, Kevin Everett, second round, me, first round.

Speaker 16 Since then, we've had Jimmy Graham,

Speaker 16 one of the most prolific guys of all time. David Njoku was a first-round pick.

Speaker 16 Career still kind of developing, but he's coming to the camp like super, uber talented, kind of building his career up in up in Cleveland. I mean,

Speaker 16 we've had dudes now.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 I like your counterpoint. Uh, here's a counter to your counterpoint.
Maybe don't say Kellen Winslow when you do the list.

Speaker 16 Yeah, it's always, it's always uncomfortable. That's always, that's always a tough one.

Speaker 2 You had me with Bubba Franks, all-time football guy named.

Speaker 5 No, we're like, we're like Peter King, strictly on the field.

Speaker 2 The field is the only thing that we'll discuss here.

Speaker 16 Yeah, that's, yeah, the Kellen one is

Speaker 2 tough. Well, no, you were talking about his dad.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 16 Kellen Winslow's senior.

Speaker 5 Yeah, that's who we that's who we meant.

Speaker 2 Yes. Exactly.
Is uh, Greg, is is Mike Martz going to get invited to this tight end university?

Speaker 16 No, I, I tried texting him. He didn't get back to me.
He said he uh he said he only has time for wideouts.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he would just show up and be like, I can't use any of these guys. What the fuck?

Speaker 16 So one thing I will say, yeah, fuck it.

Speaker 2 It's unbelievable.

Speaker 16 It's fucking crazy.

Speaker 16 But no, so one thing I used to say until Kittle and Kelsey got their new contracts, humble, you know, you're a humble brag for you.

Speaker 16 The joke used to be, like back to what made tight end hard, like the joke used to be, like, you have to block the same guy as the tackle, run routes, and win versus the same guy as the wide receiver, and they pay you half.

Speaker 16 Like, other than Kelsey and Kittle, that applied to everybody else.

Speaker 16 But that was always like the running joke.

Speaker 16 Like, we have to all, we have to do the same shit that the $15 million left tackle has to do and run routes against the same guy the $15 million wide receiver has to run routes against, and they're going to pay us seven.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's a good way to put it.

Speaker 5 And George, leading leading up to the draft, we were talking about us.

Speaker 2 Some of us. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 We were talking about how sick it would have been if you guys had gotten Kyle Pitts, not to replace you, but just to see the kind of weird shit that Kyle Shanahan would come up with

Speaker 5 having two awesome tight ends.

Speaker 2 Did that thought occur to you?

Speaker 7 Were you like, you know what?

Speaker 5 We would be pretty fun to watch.

Speaker 17 I mean, I'm excited. Like, I'm a Kyle Pitts fan.
Just watched him last year. Like, the dude just scores touchdowns.
Like, it's nothing. It's crazy.
Like, he just always scores two touchdowns a game.

Speaker 17 And I think just his athletic ability and then his ability just on a football field, he's going to be very talented in Atlanta.

Speaker 17 I wanted him to go like first overall, like to be like the first tight end, tight end to ever go first.

Speaker 17 I mean, I get it, but I would have drafted him first.

Speaker 5 Yeah, and then right after that, I think was when Kyle said, I don't know if Jimmy Garoppolo is going to be alive at the draft. So we can't make any guarantees his

Speaker 16 all-time coaching line.

Speaker 2 It was awesome.

Speaker 5 Has he ever threatened to kill you?

Speaker 2 Kyle? Yeah.

Speaker 17 No, he's like, he doesn't.

Speaker 17 He's very in the moments. Like you ask him at QA, are you like, are you good to go Sunday? Like now I can say back to him, like, I don't know if I'm going to be alive Sunday, coach.

Speaker 2 In day, man.

Speaker 5 We're all questionable.

Speaker 16 That was amazing.

Speaker 2 How weird was it, though, that like the offseason with

Speaker 2 the 49ers doing all the trading up and down the draft, and then everyone's decided who they're going to take, then they don't take the guy they're going to take.

Speaker 2 I would imagine it's been a little awkward talking with Jimmy because I know you're friends with him.

Speaker 17 Or does he have a good attitude like hey I'm gonna just keep playing and hope you know things work out I think it's more of a I mean the great thing about football is is like when like when you're given the opportunity like it's it's your job to lose it so like I mean like we we brought in tight ends like the last three years to me and like the guys that I play with in my room are awesome like they're all good football players but like I'm the starter and like it's my opportunity to make plays so I continue to be the starter that's one thing about Jimmy like that dude had a fantastic OTAs and he was slinging the ball offense was clicking and like he's just taking advantage of the opportunity.

Speaker 17 Like, Jimmy had a great OTAs. He, like I said, he looked great.
And

Speaker 17 Trey Lance has an opportunity to be a really good quarterback. So I think it's just going to be a really good competitive battle.
And,

Speaker 17 you know, Jimmy's, you know, he's ready to roll. And

Speaker 17 it's exciting to see that fire in them.

Speaker 5 One thing I love about your tattoos and the evolution is we get to look back at like all the pictures of you when you're playing.

Speaker 5 And we can pretty much pinpoint exactly what year it was based on the picture of your arm. Have you gotten, I know you got, was it the Halo guy? You got Master Chief on there.
Have you added to it?

Speaker 17 I just got Godzilla yesterday.

Speaker 2 Hell yeah. Whoa.

Speaker 16 Hey, hold on. So the other day we're texting about coming on this show, guys.
And the response from George, when I said, well, shoot, you know, what about this weekend? Like any other?

Speaker 16 He goes, well, Saturday, I'm flying to Miami and I'm going to spend eight hours getting a tattoo. And I was like, I was like, all right, I guess Saturday is out.

Speaker 2 They don't have tattoos. Yeah, they don't have tattoo places in Nashville.

Speaker 17 No, it's just

Speaker 17 a tattoo. I get a couple tattoo artists in my DMs every once in a while.
They're like, Hey, I'd love to like add to your artwork.

Speaker 17 And I was like, I looked at some of his stuff and I was like, This is really, really sick. And I just like, like, like I said, I like some of his stuff.

Speaker 17 And he had, he did, like, a guy with a tiger face right here. And I was like, that's cool.
But can you do Godzilla? And he's like, yeah, I can do that. So I flew down and I got tatted in Miami.

Speaker 2 All right. I got a question for you then.
I'm 36 years old, father of two. I always wish I had a tattoo.
Is it too late for me? I think it is.

Speaker 17 My dad is my dad's 62 and he's about to finish his full left forearm sleeve really so he went how long of his life before he got his first tattoo my dad he got a he had a butterfly on his thigh when he was in college okay

Speaker 17 the white buffalo hunter

Speaker 17 um

Speaker 2 and then he didn't get another tattoo till i think i was in i had graduated high school so he was he was a not tat like you you wouldn't see him and you'd be like that's not a tattoo guy and then all of a sudden one day he just became a tattoo guy well my my dad was a pastor for a while, too.

Speaker 17 Like, pastors don't really get padded up all the time, but uh, he was that, he was a lawyer for a while.

Speaker 17 And then, when he became a football coach again at OU back in like 2010, whenever that was, he started opening it up. And, like, he has a rise against tattoo, like the band, the whole logo on it.

Speaker 17 He's got a whale shark on his zombie. He's about to do like some type of tribal water tattoo on his rest of his forearm.

Speaker 2 He's very good. So, I can do it.
Yeah, I got to become a football coach.

Speaker 5 What's a good starter tattoo for somebody in their mid-30s? Maybe a single teardrop?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 17 Maybe like, you know, get something like, you know, connected to you, like, I don't know, like your son's birthday. Yeah, look at you.

Speaker 2 There you go. Yeah.

Speaker 16 That's good.

Speaker 2 Yeah, maybe start with that. Something that like people can't make fun of.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. You're right.

Speaker 17 I have one of those too.

Speaker 2 A what tat?

Speaker 17 An ass tat.

Speaker 2 You do? Let me see it. Of what?

Speaker 17 It's my

Speaker 17 college address for my freshman year.

Speaker 2 I kind of want to see it. Yeah, come on.
Let's see. I kind of want to see it.
I kind of want to see it. We'll pour it out.
out

Speaker 17 at Tennessee on Wednesday night, and I'll show you then.

Speaker 2 Wait, no, you got to show it.

Speaker 16 Seriously, I need you to show me your ass when we get there.

Speaker 2 First thing, no, show it right now. You know, that this is like you can't.
If you guys are doing promo on like bleacher reporter or you know, Florio show, like, you can't do this.

Speaker 2 So, you could do it here. Show us your ass.

Speaker 17 No, the

Speaker 2 seriously, show us your ass. Show us your ass.
No, show us your ass. I'll show you mine.

Speaker 7 We'll all show our asses here.

Speaker 17 No, that's different.

Speaker 2 What? That was the corner of my ass. I don't, I don't have to.

Speaker 2 There's a lot of PFT's ass. He went full crack.
Hey, I only went a lot. We're not showing asses here.

Speaker 16 The best part of PFT's ass shot right there was his microphone was perfectly in his ass crack. So you don't even need to blurry it.

Speaker 16 It was like he did it on purpose.

Speaker 5 It smells funny now. Hank would do it, but he doesn't have an ass.

Speaker 2 Yeah, come on. Oh, damn.
That was me. Wait, show us your ass.
Go ahead. Go ahead, George.
Show us your ass.

Speaker 17 I'll come whenever you guys come down for a great week.

Speaker 2 No, you know what?

Speaker 5 I'm going on strike in this episode.

Speaker 2 I'm not going to to say another word

Speaker 5 until I see George Kittle's ass.

Speaker 2 Just show us a peek.

Speaker 16 Hey, our sponsors need to see your ass. Yeah.
Sponsors of TV need to see your ass.

Speaker 17 Influence on. My wife's looking at me through the window right now, and I'm going to fall up my head.

Speaker 2 Listen. She's seen it.
I like, listen, I like Greg, retired Greg. Oh, there it is.
Oh, that's nothing. That's upper back.
830 Miller. That's good.
That's like a lower back.

Speaker 16 That's fine.

Speaker 2 830 Miller.

Speaker 2 We saw a lot more of

Speaker 2 both of our horses.

Speaker 2 Four of us. Yeah.

Speaker 16 How do you have nothing to show on my ass?

Speaker 16 I have no tattoos.

Speaker 2 Not that. None.

Speaker 5 How do we feel about the new numbers in the NFL where you got wide receivers that are going to be rocking single digits now and tight ends are still stuck with 40s and 80s?

Speaker 17 Numbers.

Speaker 2 Say it again.

Speaker 17 We switched from ass tats to single-digit numbers. Yeah.

Speaker 5 You got range, baby.

Speaker 16 In the biz, it's called the transition.

Speaker 2 It's a segue.

Speaker 2 Segla.

Speaker 17 It is. I mean, it is what it is.
I think it would would be kind of cool. I know Tom Brady was mad about it just for the defensive guys.

Speaker 17 And I will say, like, the numbers on some defensive players is kind of odd. Like, when a safety is wearing a linebacker's number, like just something weird like that.

Speaker 17 But I think the game will evolve, get used to it.

Speaker 5 If you were to change your number, if there was like any number,

Speaker 5 like, let's pretend like the rulebook did not exist. What number would you want to wear?

Speaker 17 11.

Speaker 5 That would look, you would look really fast. I feel like it might be my dumb brain, but I feel like you would lose some blocking ability if you got number 11.

Speaker 2 No, you wouldn't be able to shed as many guys.

Speaker 16 Remember LeVar Arrington? Wasn't he number 11?

Speaker 17 Yeah,

Speaker 17 there's a couple colleagues.

Speaker 16 Was he number 11 or I messed that up?

Speaker 5 He was 56 in the NFL. I don't know.

Speaker 2 No, no, at Penn State. At Penn State, he was 11, yes.
At Penn State, he was 11.

Speaker 16 He was unbelievable. With that neck roll, number 1, dude, you would be unbelievable.
You know how lean you would look? You know how they say like long, skinny numbers make everyone look lean? Yep.

Speaker 16 Dude, you would look unbelievable.

Speaker 16 I would be number four. That was my high school number.
That's where it all started.

Speaker 2 Numbers. Big neck roll.

Speaker 16 Big neck roll. Gigantic face mask.
Number four.

Speaker 5 Gonna get back to the Greggs in a second before we do.

Speaker 2 Give it up for Chicago.

Speaker 18 Sebastian Maniscalco's new stand-up special, It Ain't Right, is coming to Hulu on November 21st.

Speaker 2 30 years ago, Jeff Bezos, complete nerd. Bezos now ripped to shreds on his super yacht, and the boxes keep

Speaker 2 coming.

Speaker 18 Sebastian Maniscalco, It Ain't Right, premieres November November 21st, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers. Terms apply.

Speaker 5 Now more Gregs.

Speaker 2 Hey, speaking of where it all started, Greg, are you ready to do a documentary on the seventh floor crew?

Speaker 16 It's funny you say that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you know. Well, I know.

Speaker 2 You know that I know.

Speaker 16 It's funny you say that.

Speaker 16 There may be a time that we can

Speaker 16 dive into this. So here's my take on that whole thing.
Yes.

Speaker 16 I haven't really talked much about it, but that story obviously got a lot of publicity both at the time. And then after I had gotten drafted, it kind of got kicked up again after the draft.

Speaker 16 And then it got kicked up again when they did the 30 for 30 with the U.

Speaker 16 And my whole thing is no one's ever told like what's really happened. Like how did it come to be?

Speaker 16 Like we're made out to seem like a bunch of guys were sitting around just coming up with like the most asinine things ever, which is kind of true.

Speaker 16 But like there was some sort of like rhyme to the reason of how the whole thing like organically became. And it was never intended on being shared outside of the handful of guys that were involved.

Speaker 16 So it took on a completely unintended life of its own, but no one ever told the story of like who did it, how it was done, where it was filmed.

Speaker 16 Because I think that's the part of the story that people would be really interested in and know that like the guys who are involved are like normal guys for the most part.

Speaker 16 But no one's ever like told that side. They've told like like the glamour, like

Speaker 16 party pregame, playing it in bars, you know, that side.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 5 Have you considered doing a sequel to it?

Speaker 2 Ooh. No.
No.

Speaker 16 I have a daughter now and I pray to God she never learns how to use Google.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 I don't think that's going to happen.

Speaker 5 When you're on the road, like when you're at TEU coming up this week, are you, do you make a request like, hey, just don't put me on the seventh floor in the hotel?

Speaker 16 No, no, but I'll be honest with you, like the handfuls, you know, the time just by sheer probabilities, you get that, and like you get your room key at a hotel and like you hit the button and like in your mind, you kind of chuckle.

Speaker 16 Anytime you hear, like anytime you hear somebody say, like, hey, what floor are we on? Oh, we're on the seventh floor. Like in my mind, I'm like,

Speaker 2 you know,

Speaker 2 it's kind of funny. Do you feel like

Speaker 7 you don't get enough respect for your ability as a rapper?

Speaker 5 Like, your flow was kind of, it was kind of overshadowed by the content of the rap.

Speaker 16 It was. And that's my one regret is I wish the content would have been better, that it could have been appreciated more.

Speaker 16 It was bad, like not, you know, looking back, not a great, not a great decision in the moment, but you would be shocked.

Speaker 16 So the last few years of playing, you know, being the oldest guy on the team for the last couple of years, wherever I was, the amount of kids that would be like, come up to me, like they earn, like they would like build up their like nerves to come up and say, and they'd be like, hey, dude, I was in high school or I was a freshman in high school when I first heard that song in my football locker room.

Speaker 16 And like now that I'm playing with you is the coolest thing. Like that's what they remember.
And I was like, I'm not sure if that's cool or not.

Speaker 16 Like, I went, like, I've done some other shit, you know, but they all remember, you know, they all remember pre-like, we used to pre-game to that in my college dorm before we would go out at night.

Speaker 16 And I'm like,

Speaker 16 I know.

Speaker 2 Did any of like the rookies ever come up to you and be like, hey, Greg, like,

Speaker 2 is are your lyrics true?

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 Hey, is that true?

Speaker 2 All right, right,

Speaker 2 we'll flip it back to you, George.

Speaker 2 So, wait, is there a charity aspect of the tight end you?

Speaker 16 There is. I'm glad you asked.

Speaker 2 Yeah, because I just like dawned on me. Yeah, that George, you just invited a bunch of dudes to come and drink at your house in Nashville.

Speaker 17 Well, no, kind of.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 17 instead, so like, that's why we got involved with sponsors so we can, you know, pay for guys to like stay here, take care of them.

Speaker 17 We also raise a ton of money to get local charities in Nashville, which has been really fun.

Speaker 17 You know, we've been able to work with Levi's. Bud Light's been huge for us.
Like they're giving us free Bud Light for all the events.

Speaker 2 Tell me what you're doing after. We'll bleep out that, by the way.
We're a Coors podcast now. Mountains are

Speaker 2 very much

Speaker 17 light seltzer, all that good stuff.

Speaker 17 We have Bridge Stones coming in to bring the Boys and Girls Club in, and we're going to just play some, like, go through some drills with them.

Speaker 2 Body armor. Yeah.
Body armor. You can say that.
We're body armor guys. Yep.
You can say that.

Speaker 16 So they were the first sponsors.

Speaker 16 So when we were kicking it around, to George's point, we were kicking it around and as the numbers started growing we're like all right you know we're you know we got to you know bring in 50 guys put them up in a hotel feed them transportation you know me and george and kelsey are nice guys and we've made a good coin but you know that's expensive you know you start bringing in guys and they want to bring their wives to dinner and things added up so we reached out to a handful george mentioned all those guys body armor was the first you know, the first group that said, you know, we're all in.

Speaker 16 And they've been awesome.

Speaker 16 And, you know, outfitting guys with, you know, the drinks and the the gear and the equipment and you know all those and then the the point that that the way the whole thing came together was super cool is after we pay for all the expenses thanks for partners like them

Speaker 16 all the remaining money we partnered with the nashville boys and girls club they're going to come out and do a little camp and we're going to make a contribution to them you know so we're going to have you know all this leftover money george and i and kelsey we make no money from this all the remaining money that doesn't go towards giving the guys a great experience for the for the three days all is being given away to charity both locally and nationally in Nashville and also throughout the country so we couldn't you know without those sponsors you know especially you know with Bud Light sorry no you know body armor sorry body armor Levi's and Bridgetown like all those groups coming together to understand like what we're trying to build here

Speaker 16 a lot of other people are going to benefit as a result.

Speaker 2 That's sick.

Speaker 2 And the kid aspect of like kids coming out and maybe this would be like a little foreplay to the real sappy stuff we're about to do but kids coming out and like playing football with a bunch of pros you could never get enough of that have you guys had a moment yet uh maybe not you george but greg i'm sure you've had it where have you have you had a moment where you were maybe at a camp with a kid and then that kid like ended up being in the nfl or maybe playing college football and like you were able to be like get back connected with him like holy shit like you know you you had an impact on my life like on social media i've had people send me like a a picture and say hey i met you at the gator aid camp in 2008 when i was a sophomore in high school or a middle school kid and you know i just got a scholarship to you know wherever um you know i'm going to play football next year at iowa like i've had you know those kind of stories that are just you know awesome and you know i i don't remember meeting them but dk metcalf i played with his father in chicago and he says we met in the locker room one time, which I'm sure we did.

Speaker 16 And then last year, me and him were teammates, you know?

Speaker 16 So like those kind of stories are awesome, both for people that you know and also just people that along the way you kind of rub shoulders with.

Speaker 16 But, you know, George being so tight end down in Nashville and having great connections with them. We're going to have 50, 50 or 75 or so kids come out on

Speaker 16 Thursday. And in the afternoon, we're going to do like an hour long, all the tight ends will be out there.
We're going to set up drills and do like a fun free clinic for all those kids to come on out.

Speaker 16 And we're going to take like an hour pause from our itinerary of tight end you to kind of spend, you know, spend the afternoon with those kids before we get back into the classroom sessions and the video prep and all that stuff that we're going to do with the group.

Speaker 16 So it's going to be super cool.

Speaker 5 So, how does that work when you're going to be kind of teaching some of your competitors? Like, I know for you, George, like you're going to be playing against these guys this year.

Speaker 5 And probably you too, Greg, because you always do that thing where like three quarters of the way through the year, people are like, oh, I bet Greg Olson could come back and make a roster.

Speaker 5 So you might be out there again next year.

Speaker 5 Like, is there any sort of like competitive instinct that takes over where you're like, I want to teach this guy, but maybe not teach him everything that I know?

Speaker 17 No, I mean, dude, when one tight end succeeds, like when we're all succeeding, then everyone gets to benefit off of each other, you know, whether that's from guys playing well and getting contracts so the tight end position gets paid more and more.

Speaker 17 I mean, like a big part of that, tight ends have been making under $10 million forever. And like we just kind of broke through that.

Speaker 17 We're still, like Greg said, like, we're still getting paid less than a lot of other positions.

Speaker 17 And I, i i i mean i feel like the tight end does a lot i mean if you look at the last 10 super bowls i think every team that's won is at a down like a very very talented tight end so like it has to do with winning super bowls so i mean i think that's the most important things you might as well pay the tight ends and uh you know i just kind of want that number to keep going up and like i said you know when tight ends come together you can learn and you know i mean what's more important than like kyle pitts is like i said he's going to be really good but the nfl is a faster than college and if he can sit in a room for two days and learn from guys like greg olson me travis kelcey mercedes lewis uh luke stocker like you got vets in there, and you can learn a thing or two.

Speaker 17 I mean, like, it's just going to, I mean, take guys career and hopefully, like, just on an uphill trajectory. All the time doing that.
It's all good.

Speaker 2 Are you going to teach a class, George, where it's like, this is just how you be a beast and throw people off of you?

Speaker 2 And then just play that clip of the Saints, the Saints clip where you just had like four Saints on you in the dome and you were just tossing them everywhere?

Speaker 17 I'm going to talk about Yak, you know, yards after catch, and I'm also going to talk about

Speaker 17 rum blocking and pass pro. Those are my three topics.

Speaker 2 Okay, okay.

Speaker 5 What about, do you do like a breakdown where it's just block day is one specific day of the week?

Speaker 5 Like, hey, we're just going to basically focus on the part of our game that's just throwing people out of the club today.

Speaker 17 That's, I mean, like that, like I said, that's my, I got a 30-minute session on Friday that's all dedicated to run blocking and pass pro.

Speaker 2 I'm going to throw this out there.

Speaker 2 Next year, we should be invited and we should give a class on how tight ends, like, you know, be the most charismatic guys on your teams, do interviews with part of my take, and hopefully that will help, you know, raise your star and maybe get you a couple dollars more.

Speaker 17 I'm in for that.

Speaker 5 Okay. Yeah, it'll just be called How to Get on Part of My Take, and then you just have to write your phone number down and hand it to us, and then you can leave.

Speaker 2 And then just say something super, super like, something that we can put on a headline, and we're good to go.

Speaker 5 Yeah, wear a Part of My Take shirt on Hard Knocks.

Speaker 12 Is Luke Wilson going to be there?

Speaker 16 Uh-oh. I invited him.

Speaker 2 Did you?

Speaker 2 Not the actor.

Speaker 16 No, no. Luke Wilson with two L's.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Okay, good.

Speaker 16 Yeah, I was his team. We played together last year in Seattle.
I invited him.

Speaker 2 And here he comes.

Speaker 16 I think he's locked in Canada, right? The borders and shit are shut down.

Speaker 2 That's true. Damn it.

Speaker 16 I think we would probably waive our no former tight end experience waiver clause if you guys wanted to come down next year, pack your cleats, get in shape,

Speaker 16 put you through camp, and

Speaker 16 we'll see if you guys can do it.

Speaker 2 No, no, no. I wanted to show up and do like a 30-minute Zoom and get paid to go to Nashville.

Speaker 2 I didn't want to do her powerpoints we didn't do that yeah i didn't want to do any athletic stuff maybe i'll you know one of the kids i can we can pat we can point out to one of the kids and be like all right you're a podcaster you're not a tight end like just let's cut to the chase here you're a blogger we're scouting you're not a tight end like we're just gonna be nice to you you know

Speaker 17 we forgot to talk about uh sharman is also one of our sponsors and they're sending down two life-size bears really

Speaker 17 yes and And they're going to throw toilet paper at people.

Speaker 2 Oh, my God. Okay, that's good.
That's good.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Dude, we're killing it. We're killing it.
Tight end you is going to be

Speaker 2 invite Blake Portals?

Speaker 17 Blake of the Year?

Speaker 2 He's got good hands. Yeah, I mean, people say that he would be an awesome tight end, including himself.

Speaker 17 He does have good hands.

Speaker 2 Okay. All right.
I did not invite him. Think about that.
All right, let's finish with this.

Speaker 2 Greg, I do actually want to talk to you about this because it was a story that a lot of people,

Speaker 2 saw online. It was very emotional.
Your son, TJ, just got a heart transplant.

Speaker 2 I basically, every time the videos came up,

Speaker 2 I had to not watch it because it made me so emotional. Obviously, it's been crazy time last few months

Speaker 2 for your family. How is he doing? And

Speaker 2 what has, this is a terrible question, but like, what has it been like? I can't even imagine. Yeah.

Speaker 16 Yeah, so, I mean, it's been wild. So, I mean, since the day he was born, you know, we knew prior to him being born that he was going to be born with a long road to hoe.

Speaker 16 He was in essence born with only half of a heart. So he literally only had one right ventricle.
If left untreated, you know, you die.

Speaker 16 So he was a, he had three open heart surgeries before his second birthday. And in essence, he lived with half of a heart, which is kind of like our play on why we wear these shirts a lot.

Speaker 16 And he lived with what they call a single ventricle. He had one chamber of his heart.

Speaker 16 he lived his life like that and he was doing really well um lived a fairly standard quality of life for the most part had some restrictions and then about a little over a month ago my wife and i just noticed he was he wasn't himself he was getting really bogged down we thought maybe he was just tired so after a few days we took him into the hospital and within hours he was admitted into the icu in heart failure and they said his heart just was no longer able to keep up it was failing and there was no reversing it and we began at that day we began the process of getting him listed for to be a heart transplant recipient.

Speaker 16 So he was eight years old. He's still eight years old.

Speaker 16 And we started that process. He was listed and we didn't know how long that that process was going to take.
We were and we were in the ICU for the entire duration of waiting for the heart.

Speaker 16 And a big reason we share those videos and fortunate to be able to talk about it on a platform like this is because there's so many people out there who have these stories, right?

Speaker 16 And they're sitting in their hospital room and they're by themselves and they're alone and they feel like they're the only one in the world doing this.

Speaker 16 And we just want to shine a little light that, like, you don't only have to share your great moments, right?

Speaker 16 Like, you don't only have to share when you're throwing a cool tight end thing with George Kittle and you're having a blast talking shit with you guys. Like

Speaker 16 all of us have lives that at times suck, right? Like shit happens. And this was one of them.
So we hunkered down,

Speaker 16 not knowing how long the process would be by the grace of God and him being in certain criteria of size and blood type and antibody rejections and liver fail, like all these billion factors that go into this algorithm of qualifying you.

Speaker 16 We were notified

Speaker 16 that

Speaker 16 he would be after about a little over about 10 days. We were notified that there was a heart match.
And on June 4th, TJ underwent an open heart surgery and

Speaker 16 he came home on Wednesday. And

Speaker 16 he's been home now for the weekend. And

Speaker 16 I mean,

Speaker 16 we could have a two-hour talk on just what that process entails. But

Speaker 16 it's remarkable what he's been through and what these doctors can do. I mean, they literally cut his chest open.
They took his heart out.

Speaker 16 And they flew in on a private jet, another heart in a cooler, literally in a cooler of ice, reconnect it, and start it back up.

Speaker 2 That's unreal. I mean, it's

Speaker 2 wild.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and it's, you know, anyone who's got kids, like, I, like I said, I tried to watch the video, and I think you don't really understand it until you have a kid of your own, and you're like, you know, you do anything, literally anything, and like to go through that, fuck, man.

Speaker 2 It was, I'm just so happy he's good. And what, what's like, is he going to live a somewhat normal life now with his new heart?

Speaker 16 They said his immediate life right now, once he recovers, it's about a year process until he's about like done. He's on like serious immunosuppressants so that the body doesn't reject the heart.

Speaker 16 So like there's no like going out and about.

Speaker 16 It's almost like he has to live in COVID for like another year, which is kind of weird that we actually know what that, you know, know how to live with him for the time being. But

Speaker 16 it's about a year process until he can like venture back out into school settings and big groups and, you know, reallocate himself, acclimate himself back out into life. But,

Speaker 16 you know, the one downside to getting a heart transplant at such a young age and typically why they try to prolong having to get it is the hearts don't last forever um right now hearts last like give or take 20 years so when you're eight it takes you to 28

Speaker 16 as the medicine stands today you know and you got to do it again

Speaker 16 so that's where things get a little dice but you know every year the their ability to push off rejection keep your body you know you know in coordination with your heart and you know keeping things working gets better and better and better.

Speaker 16 So we try not to think of that we have to do this again in 20 years. We hope that it's 50 years, whatever it is.
And

Speaker 16 we just are thankful for every day that he's home.

Speaker 16 Like the little just, he's home. We have him and we're going to love every day that we have him.
And

Speaker 16 the hardest, I'll tell you, I'll be honest with you guys, the hardest part, the hardest part to rationalize is like the mixed, the dual emotions.

Speaker 16 of getting the call that your son's life's going to be saved because without this heart he's not going to be able to live he's you know, he was on medicine, that was the only reason his heart pumped.

Speaker 16 You know, hooked up, he would wear like a backpack. And

Speaker 16 it was all around the clock. And that was what would let his heart failing, his failing heart work.
Right.

Speaker 16 But the reality is, is right now in our stage of medicine, someone else has to have a tragedy to allow them to be able to donate a heart. And it's not just someone who dies.

Speaker 16 They have to die like in certain ways to make their organs ability to be donated. And

Speaker 16 it's just a really, really hard, hard, right? You know, at the moment, you're having a sense of relief that your day is here. At that very moment in time,

Speaker 16 someone else somewhere in the country is having like their worst day ever.

Speaker 16 So it's so hard.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but it also is a good reminder that if you're not an organ donor, you know, you should. You should be an organ donor.
Everyone out there, like, it's a really, really important thing.

Speaker 2 And it's not, you know, I think there used to be a time when everyone's like, well, they're going to harvest my organs. No, that's not how it works.

Speaker 2 If something tragically happened to you, you could save someone else's life. And that's like you get a story like this with TJ, and it's the best, man.
It's unreal.

Speaker 16 And how about this? We don't know anything about our organ donor. They're not allowed to share any personal information.
We don't know the age, the gender, the location, but they donated seven organs.

Speaker 16 So, seven families,

Speaker 16 you know, use dark talking, you know, eyes and or, you know, liver and pancreas and kidneys and heart and lungs. lungs, you know, seven lives.
So, six other families like us

Speaker 16 have their,

Speaker 16 you know, hypothetically, hopefully everything went well, have their son, daughter, husband, whatever

Speaker 16 because of one person.

Speaker 5 Yeah, it's a super easy step that everyone can take. Just when you're at the DMV, you just check a box.
Yeah. And that's all that it takes.
You can be in a world of difference.

Speaker 5 Like you said, for seven different families, that's incredible.

Speaker 5 How is he doing? Like mentally, are his spirits up? I imagine that for an eight-year-old, this has got to be, you know, an extremely scary thing.

Speaker 5 Scary doesn't even really begin to describe it, but how has he handled this? And are his spirits good?

Speaker 16 His spirits are awesome. I wish I could show you guys.
Like, my wife sent me a picture.

Speaker 16 I had to take my other, so I brought him home from the hospital Wednesday after being there for a month, brought him home Wednesday, and Thursday had to take my other son to a baseball tournament.

Speaker 16 for the last three days in Charleston, South Carolina. So my wife and our parents and all them stayed here with them to take care.

Speaker 16 And she sent me a video of him like jogging down our driveway, like back to our house.

Speaker 16 You know, it's just, it's mind-blowing how resilient these kids are. I mean, if it was any one of us, we'd be just like pity party, negative, your world sucks.
And he's, he hasn't had a bad day.

Speaker 16 You know, one, he had like one moment of weakness the morning we woke him up to take him to surgery, like the day, right?

Speaker 16 He just broke down and he's like, I don't want a new heart, dad. I don't want a new heart, mom.
And we're like,

Speaker 16 that's, you know, make to see him say that, right? It's tough. The day before, he's playing air hockey.
Right. And

Speaker 16 it's, we said, but, you know, but, you know,

Speaker 16 you don't have much of a vote, bud. You have no choice, right? So it's, he's been, he's been unbelievable.
He's home. He's happy.
He wants to go for pizza.

Speaker 16 He wants to go watch his brother's baseball team practice. You know, we're like, all right, bud, well, we got time.
We'll get there. But he's

Speaker 16 for everything that he's been through,

Speaker 16 he's doing awesome.

Speaker 2 It is true. Kids are so fucking resilient.
I mean, I would sprain my ankle and I'd

Speaker 2 hand someone my license and be like, go ahead, I'm an organ donor. Take it all.

Speaker 2 I'm happy we did this at the end, though, because I wouldn't have been able to handle the rest. So let's end with this.

Speaker 2 George,

Speaker 2 so Father, we're taping this on Father's Day. Did you write your dad a 20-page letter for Father's Day like he writes to you?

Speaker 17 No, I took him to Miami and I put him on a beach and he swam in the ocean all day.

Speaker 2 For eight hours while you got your tattoo?

Speaker 17 No, he came with me to the tattoo and he just sat there the whole time. He was doing the tight end new agenda, getting the schedule set out.

Speaker 17 Like, shout out my dad for being like, he's the G, him and our marketing guys have gotten the whole thing done.

Speaker 16 But yeah, no, Rubicon Town, they should get a shout out.

Speaker 2 Yeah, shout out Corslight.

Speaker 16 Peter Raskin, Peter Kaskin.

Speaker 17 That's our guy. But I just put him on the beach and I'm struggling

Speaker 17 for the last three days.

Speaker 2 Okay, awesome. All right, so that's good, son.

Speaker 2 Now, he should be part of tight end you, and I don't want to tell you guys how to do it, but it would be great if your dad wrote a specialized letter to every single tight end on their way out the door.

Speaker 17 Dude, a lot like for each individual person, gets their own.

Speaker 16 Yes, if I don't get one, I'm not doing it next year.

Speaker 2 Yeah, be like, listen, I've only known you for three

Speaker 2 days, but I love you like a son, and I really want to see you like do the whole thing. Remember that time uh on Tuesday when we first met

Speaker 5 the connection I felt the connection yeah Ari should be in charge of giving out the awards are you guys doing awards at the end of camp no I don't think we are but that's a good idea for next year yeah little like like t-ball trophy awards would be funny for a bunch of like professional tight end oh no here's what you do you give everybody a participation trophy and you see who throws them away yeah and the people that don't throw them away they actually they lose the camp they get cut yes

Speaker 16 yes that's that's actually

Speaker 16 i hope you can edit that out of this so when we so we don't spoil the surprise because i think we should actually do that yeah and greg are we gonna be seeing you on tv this year you are i'm gonna be i'm gonna be calling george's games i'm gonna be giving them so much love it's gonna be crazy i love it i love it i'm gonna be uh i'm gonna be calling games with fox and uh

Speaker 16 i'm not I am not going to be coming out of retirement. I am completely and utterly done.
I've set a record for how many times I've broken and ruptured my feet.

Speaker 16 So I'm full-time dad and part-time broadcaster.

Speaker 2 Okay. Be nice to the Bears because I know you're going to get some Bears games.

Speaker 16 No, I like the Bears.

Speaker 16 Once that regime left,

Speaker 16 I'll be honest, when I left, I wanted them to lose every game, obviously.

Speaker 16 But then once they all moved on and they went to the Tressman and all these guys, I actually thought the Bears, I'm not going to lie, I was pissed at the Bears. You want to hear a Bears story? Yeah.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 2 We'll finish with this.

Speaker 16 So last, we'll finish with this. Last story.
So last year, I got cut.

Speaker 16 I

Speaker 16 was going into free agency after the Super Bowl, after the Panthers cut me, and was talking to a bunch of different teams, trying to figure out what the opportunities were and whatnot.

Speaker 16 And I talked to Matt Nagey, called me with the GM,

Speaker 16 and we talked for like 45 minutes on the phone.

Speaker 16 And, you know, they're asking me questions about routes and what kind of systems have you played in? Would you be comfortable with

Speaker 16 code words versus digits? What did you do on your backside routes? What was your leverage reads?

Speaker 16 All this stuff. So I hang up.
I'm like, I said to my wife, I'm like, babe, I think they really like me and want to sign me.

Speaker 16 How cool would it be if like life came full circle and we could finish up my career back in Chicago? That would be so sick, right? So I got myself like all excited.

Speaker 16 They never,

Speaker 16 long story short, they're like, we don't have enough money. We don't have this.
So I go and sign in Seattle. They won a fucking free agency.
They signed Jimmy Graham.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 What the fuck? Well, they also

Speaker 2 paid him more than they were going to, than I wanted. They also, like, want, like, I think Ryan Pace was just, there was a time there where the Bears had like 11 tight ends.

Speaker 2 So if there was any tight end, he was like, I just want to talk to him. Like, I just want to, I want to get on the phone with this guy.

Speaker 16 So I literally said to my wife, they hired, and again, I love Jimmy. Don't get me wrong.
It has nothing to do with Jimmy.

Speaker 16 I was like, when they signed Jimmy, I was like, those guys, it was like they used me.

Speaker 16 It was like they took me on like a really cheap date, picked my brain for everything I knew, and then they just like gave me an Uber. Yeah.
Like, sent me my way.

Speaker 2 Not surprised. Not surprised.

Speaker 2 All right, anyway. Everyone,

Speaker 2 Greg and George, thank you so much. Tight end you is happening this week.
Going to be great for charity for the kids. It's also going to be great for all the tight ends.

Speaker 2 We'll be there next year, guaranteed.

Speaker 2 And thank you guys. We really appreciate it.

Speaker 16 Thank you, boys. Appreciate you guys.
You guys are awesome. Thanks, guys.

Speaker 2 Good to see you guys.

Speaker 5 The Gregs are brought to you by.

Speaker 19 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 19 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 19 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, Hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 19 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 19 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 Okay, what do you got, Jake?

Speaker 8 First game-ending triple play since the Phillies turned one against the Mets on August 23rd, 2009. This was the 27th game-ending triple play.

Speaker 2 Oh, far from correct. Not even close.

Speaker 5 Not even close. I'm only seeing nine, Jake.
Nine game-ending triple plays.

Speaker 2 Wow. There's one,

Speaker 5 Chris Sabo,

Speaker 5 Rexpex King, Chris Sabo, 91.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I see 27 via Sarah Langs.

Speaker 2 Is it my princess a bit? All right. Keep going.

Speaker 2 I want you to keep going, BFT.

Speaker 5 Well, there was one back in 1978, Ron Say.

Speaker 5 He was batting Ken Force as a pitcher. It was the Dodgers and the Astros.
Back when the Astros were in the National League at that point.

Speaker 5 And then before that, you got the Kansas City Royals and the Baltimore Orioles. Oh, Tippi Martinez was on the bump going up against John Waith in 1977.
They were down 7-5. Walk-off triple play there.

Speaker 5 Then we got Phil Gagliano

Speaker 5 with the Sandy Redskins

Speaker 5 at the Cincinnati Reds. Don Nottbart was the pitcher.
Oh, and then you got to take it way back to 1966. Guess who was pitching that one, big cat?

Speaker 2 Sandy Kolfax.

Speaker 2 Little, little Oil Cam Boyd. Nope.

Speaker 5 A little pitcher known by Tommy John.

Speaker 2 Ah!

Speaker 5 Tommy John was twirling a gym.

Speaker 9 Recurring guests.

Speaker 2 Oh, not recurring guests.

Speaker 5 Tommy John, recurring guest.

Speaker 2 Dr. James Andrews.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Who fixed Kyle Schorber's knee? Yeah. Full circle.
Shout out.

Speaker 2 All right. Monday reading.

Speaker 9 Yeah, so this is a little different, not really a funny Monday reading, a little bit sadder, but we do like talk about our lives on our show. This is going on with me.
So this was a text.

Speaker 9 That I sent to PFT and Big Cat earlier. It said, I'm talking to Dave today.
Rhea already texted him and told him.

Speaker 9 him, so if it's cool with you guys at the very end of the show, I'll mention what's going on with us, that we're broken up, et cetera, and that we're cool.

Speaker 9 Moving on to separate apartments and moving on for now, obviously super sad, but probably better long term.

Speaker 2 It's tough. So yeah.
So you and Rhea are...

Speaker 9 We're broken up. Broken up.
Yes, it's been going on for like, I mean, we've been kind of separated for like a month. Happened over COVID.
We just kind of,

Speaker 9 I don't know, just lost the fire a little bit, kind of a situation where we became roommates and not really like

Speaker 9 romantic or whatever. And we just kind of realized that our apartment was up.
We had different opinions on where we wanted to live and stuff.

Speaker 9 And we just, you know, figured it was better for both of us if we just kind of moved on.

Speaker 5 Well, spin zone, you're getting hot.

Speaker 2 You're getting six pounds. Single hank this summer.
You're singies for the summer.

Speaker 2 All right, so just let's do like a couple quick questions so that way people aren't like, oh, wonder what this, wonder this. Number one, how much blame should we give Jake? Zero blame.

Speaker 2 Okay, all right. Well, I mean, this is, you know, people.

Speaker 9 It was already, we had already, it already happened before that even happened.

Speaker 9 um question number two who should we be mean to you or or rhea no one to be mean to it was no one's no one's no one's fault it's one of those things where she just you know

Speaker 9 there is a big age difference uh we like i said we took like this has been going on for a month we kind of separated and during that time i thought about it and you know kind of realized like we started dating she was 19 living at home by herself she's i've been single you know working for barcelona in boston on the dixie tour like the first year of part of my take like i know it's out there i know what it's like i've lived the life Uh, but she's obviously, like, younger, had a tough time in Corona, and it's just never really been out there.

Speaker 9 So, I don't necessarily blame her for you know, wanting to like see what's out there and stuff. You're only young once.

Speaker 9 Um, and I'm just at a place where I'm not really trying to like go crazy and party and have fun and stuff. I'm older and just kind of trying to relax.

Speaker 2 So, very mature. Yeah.

Speaker 9 I mean,

Speaker 9 it's very sad. It's been, it's been a tough month, but I do think, you know, I'm just happy it's not like a

Speaker 9 toxic or like dramatic ending or anything like that.

Speaker 2 So, we're still,

Speaker 2 everyone's being nice to Rhea. We're supporting Rhea.
She's still a co-worker of ours. We like Rhea.
So it's not like that.

Speaker 2 This is for our younger listeners, sometimes this happens. Yes.
And it's no one's fault, and it actually can just be a split. I know that's crazy.

Speaker 5 And it's actually healthy to deal with it this way as opposed to just ignoring it. Right.
Hoping things get better. And did you consider trying to have a child to save your relationship?

Speaker 9 No, no, no.

Speaker 2 I think there was me.

Speaker 9 Here was, well, well, Norman, so Norman, people probably went in that. Norman, it was always her dog.
That was never a question.

Speaker 9 It's just like a sad, it's a sad part of a much sadder situation, but you know.

Speaker 2 He's going to stay out of the podcast now because it is Rhea's dog, so we're going to respect that. So we're not going to bring up Normie.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I know that. I do.
I am. Obviously, listeners and stuff, you can't control them.
They're probably going to troll whatever. But I am asking you guys.

Speaker 9 I know the situation will come up where you want to make a joke.

Speaker 2 The only joke I want to make is I want to make Jake feel uncomfortable. Is that okay?

Speaker 9 No, I mean, I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 You can't make Jake feel uncomfortable? No, I mean, it's not Jake's fault.

Speaker 9 I feel bad. He's going to feel terrible as it is.
Yeah, he's going to, he's going to. The only thing that that's going to be.

Speaker 2 Can I feel really bad? Can I make him feel a little uncomfortable? Jake is my podcast brother.

Speaker 2 To be happy. Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 Hear that? Are you the older brother, Jake?

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 2 Okay. That's it.
That was good. That's all I wanted.
That was enough. That was enough uncomfortable, Jake.

Speaker 5 Did you can I I'll just ask this one time. Did you teach her how to put the ice cube on?

Speaker 9 I told her about it.

Speaker 2 I never really went through the parting.

Speaker 2 But yeah, no, Hank, we obviously have your back. Everyone, I think the AWS will actually surprise you here in being like, hey, you know, he said his piece.
Let's all just chill out with it.

Speaker 2 But yeah, that's adults. Adult things happen.
And

Speaker 2 we like Rhea. We're not going to stop liking Rhea.
We love Hank. We're not going to stop loving Hank.
And Jake, you're a good boy, too.

Speaker 5 And,

Speaker 5 you know, a great way to maybe, you know, get through some of the lonelier times might be to get a companion, some sort of cat,

Speaker 5 make great roommates.

Speaker 2 Or a roommate?

Speaker 9 No, no roommates, no cats for now.

Speaker 2 Roommates with dogs.

Speaker 9 Nope, definitely not.

Speaker 2 Definitely not. You and I would

Speaker 2 actually be the meanest thing of all. Yeah, Philly's dreams would come true within like probably a week.

Speaker 2 Hank killed himself. Why? Because he broke up with his girlfriend? No, because he had to live with Billy.

Speaker 9 But yeah, I mean, it is sad. Obviously, love Rhea still, though.
We're still, we're cool. It's not, you know, it's nothing too dramatic.

Speaker 9 I think when people hear that type of news, they're like, oh, what happened? But it was more just, you know, it was a long,

Speaker 9 long time coming, kind of. And it's just probably, it's probably better for both of us this way.

Speaker 2 And shout out you for giving me almost a heart attack because I think my inner dad now kicks in when you texted me in PFT last week.

Speaker 2 You're like, hey, can I talk to you guys real quick before you leave? And I was like, okay, someone died. And I was like, I sprinted.
I haven't sprinted in five years.

Speaker 2 I sprinted to the studio from my desk.

Speaker 5 Yeah, because

Speaker 5 we don't send those text messages to each other.

Speaker 12 No, yeah, we know.

Speaker 2 That's right.

Speaker 9 It's more like, and I know we don't really, we did talk about it. It was kind of a recurring thing over the years.

Speaker 9 So it was more just like for the record, because obviously, like, going forward, you know. I'm not going to be in a relationship with a dog anymore.
So it's more just to have it on the record.

Speaker 5 I thought you were quitting to go to Spotify to do the Caller Daddy podcast.

Speaker 9 I was.

Speaker 5 And I walked in the room and Big Cat's, the first thing he said was, Hank's quitting. Yeah.
And I didn't know if he was.

Speaker 2 Did you get the same scare?

Speaker 2 No, I got I had the scare when he said when he texts us. All right, Billy, you got to follow that.

Speaker 2 Billy, there was actually great feedback from Billy's recap on Friday. No, I'm serious.
No pressure. No pressure.

Speaker 2 Followed up. Being positive.
We're positive vibes only podcasts.

Speaker 13 This has been a pretty heavy show, if you think about it.

Speaker 2 Oh, with the Greg Olsen.

Speaker 9 Yeah, well, the Greg Olson, but that's the thing where it's like, it has been sad, and it's like you hear stories like that, and you're instantly like, all right,

Speaker 9 if life is not that bad. Right.
This could be worse. You know, everything's gonna be all right.

Speaker 5 Everybody gas up Hank.

Speaker 2 Right. Gas up our boy.
Yeah. Gas up our boy.

Speaker 5 Your beard looks amazing today.

Speaker 2 Thank you, Billy. I appreciate it.

Speaker 5 You look taller.

Speaker 2 I'm going to find something. Give me a second.
Give me a second.

Speaker 5 You pronounced every word. You actually did better with pronunciation today than Jake did.
It's a fact.

Speaker 2 That's nice. Hank,

Speaker 2 I've always been

Speaker 2 jealous of how you're able to handle your weed. Thank you.

Speaker 9 That's taken a long time for me to get to that point.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, I have. I've been like, that guy can, he can blaze.
If you can't do it. And like not be like, you can do it.
Like I blaze and I just fucking lose my mind. It's ADD.

Speaker 8 Didn't respond to my email, I wouldn't have this job.

Speaker 2 That's about you, Jake. Sure.
Yeah. No.
Thank you.

Speaker 2 I'm just kidding.

Speaker 2 All right. I'm done.
I'm done making Jake.

Speaker 2 That was a mistake. Thanks.
Thanks for pointing out my mistakes. So him responding to that email started everything.
The wheels of motion.

Speaker 13 The Chinese food order tonight was fire. It was really good.

Speaker 2 One of my best.

Speaker 2 He made it. Can you make that clip for me?

Speaker 2 I just love having Billy back. He really is like the broest.

Speaker 2 Chinese food order was fire.

Speaker 2 Come on.

Speaker 5 You're really good at balanced sports too.

Speaker 2 I love having you back. You haven't crashed in like a year?

Speaker 2 No, he crashed a couple weeks ago. What'd you call it? Balanced sports.

Speaker 5 You're good at balancing on things.

Speaker 2 Oh, by the way. Tony Hawk is one of the best balanced sporters of all time.
Yes.

Speaker 5 I'm a foot-based sports fan about gymnastics.

Speaker 2 Hank actually has really pretty eyes. Whoa.
Hank works his ass off, too. Yeah, literally.
But have you ever looked in Hank's eyes? Oh, you know what? This is actually a good time.

Speaker 2 Let's do this right now, real quick. This is also a serious thing.

Speaker 2 July 4th schedule, so we're not going to have a show on Monday. July 5th is Monday.
We're not going to have a show because we're not going to do a show on that July 4th.

Speaker 2 And Hank and Liam are going to take the week off vacation-wise. No jokes.
This is not a joking thing.

Speaker 2 Everyone's getting married. Well, also, everyone needs some time to go.
Maddie and Drew. Yep.
Everyone needs Max B.

Speaker 2 Everyone needs some time to

Speaker 2 take off. So they're going to take it.
We're going to have two other guys, Youngstown Bob and Jake, are going to come. Not our Jake, another Jake, are going to come in.

Speaker 2 And they're going to guest produce on Wednesday and Friday. So let's get ahead of that.
No jokes about it. Liam and Hank work their fucking asses off.

Speaker 2 When we finish the podcast every night, they're still here for fucking four four hours later so they deserve some time off so they'll be a no-joke zone fair fair fair yep sometimes pft and i forget that like we can just sit down and put on the mics and produce and put out a show and then it's over when we right right so we have to we have to remind ourselves that there's a lot more that goes into it um all right billy let's do it um i think that the biggest thing that's going to come out of tight end you is that all the tight ends are going to get man bums

Speaker 13 okay like think about it i like kittle got hawkinson to do it so i think that's going to spread.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 You have to,

Speaker 5 there has to be a certain level of physical imposition that you have to carry about you in order to pull off a man bun. Like I can't do a man bun.
Gareth Bale has the worst man.

Speaker 11 Did you see his man bun today?

Speaker 5 Yeah. I want to cut his head off.
His entire face every time I see that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I think it's one or the other.

Speaker 2 You've got to be a really imposing physical guy like a tight end. Or you have to be a small, slender guy.
And people are like...

Speaker 5 What's his deal? Artistic?

Speaker 2 Like, he could do something to me.

Speaker 5 Trevor Lawrence's brother could pull off a man bun.

Speaker 2 There's no in-between. Like, if I had a man bun, it would be the worst man bun of all.
Yes.

Speaker 2 Why'd you laugh at that?

Speaker 2 Because you're insane. How accurate?

Speaker 2 It would be terrible.

Speaker 13 They should do more pool games in the Olympics, have like Olympic sharks and minnows and Marco Polo.

Speaker 2 Dimmy, okay. Marco Polo,

Speaker 7 real water sports. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And yeah, that's pretty much it. That's it.
Perfect.

Speaker 2 Velociraptors are the size of a chicken.

Speaker 2 Billy has graded himself a perfect.

Speaker 2 57. All right, 69.

Speaker 2 18. 8.

Speaker 7 6. Velociraptors are the size of a chicken.

Speaker 2 Is that true? Frog dynamics.

Speaker 5 Frauds.

Speaker 2 64.

Speaker 2 No one answers that for. Is that a new one? N64.

Speaker 8 One time.

Speaker 2 One time. What date?

Speaker 2 I like, I'm kind of low-key in a weird way obsessed with the lottery statistics.

Speaker 5 December 1st, 2020.

Speaker 2 Wow. Wow.

Speaker 5 Like, what were we doing that? December 1st, 2020. What day of the week was that? What NFL week was that? That's probably week 12.

Speaker 2 Somewhere around there. Maybe, yeah, week 12 or 13.

Speaker 5 That's what I'm saying. Derrick Henry probably had 200 yards that day.

Speaker 2 December.

Speaker 8 I think it was week 15.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 2 December. Sorry.
That was December. It was a Tuesday.
Jake.

Speaker 8 It was December 12th.

Speaker 2 Or, no. Wow, Jake.

Speaker 2 Week 12.

Speaker 2 He's just going through a lot of Jake.

Speaker 2 I love you guys.

Speaker 2 I'm worried about Jake.

Speaker 2 Oh, I don't know what I'm to say. I'm saying, anyway.

Speaker 2 Today's not my day to find you. Shy away.
