It's Pardon My Take presented by Bar School Sports.
Welcome to Pardon My Take presented by Chevy Silverado, the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever. Today is Monday, June 21st, and the process is dead.
R.I.P. R.I.P.
We had a good run. We had a good run.
This was going to be the postseason where we judged whether or not processes actually work. Turns out they don't.
You know what? It was a legacy game for just baskets, being able to shoot. Turns out that if you can shoot, you're probably going to win an NBA playoff series.
I was going to say, 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.
It ended up that matters. Well, he ended up not dunking.
He's afraid of dunking, too. I thought that if he had the opportunity to go up with 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.
That's a scary thing. Actually, I'd like to now go back on my take that he should try dunking free throws, because that wouldn't work either.
No, nothing works. 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.
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. That's your point guard.
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. He did finish perfect three for three.
So there's one nice spin zone.
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%.
Shaq's worst season
playoff history was 37.4%.
So that's
another bad stat.
And then finally, Ben Simmons
is 100%. Shaq's worst season playoff history was 37.4.
So that's another bad stat. And then finally, I mean, Ben Simmons, I don't – did 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.
We'll see. I will see.
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? MVP candidate Ben Simmons.
And I feel really bad for Sixers fans. I know that we're going to give Hank a chance to just rip them apart, which he will.
I honestly feel bad for Ben Simmons. No, I don't.
Imagine making it to this stage in your professional career only to just discover your one glaring weakness, which is you can't no i i no no no no no he can't shoot he no he he he's afraid of shooting yeah no i don't think he physically can shoot i think that he is in fact right-handed and kevin o'connor has apparently been on this for a while no he's a lot of people think that he's right hand no he's non there's non-dominant yes neither hand he doesn't have a hand that works. No hands work for Ben Simmons and shoot it.
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.
Yeah, like saying Ben Simmons can't shoot is actually wrong because, well, no, it's right in that when you say he can't shoot, you're saying he's a bad shooter. He can't shoot in that he mentally cannot make himself shoot.
Do you think he's got that disease, the brain thing, where you're afraid of holes? Remember when the iPhones came out and everybody pretended to be afraid of the camera? Oh, that was like the even. No, that's.
Tryptophobia. Yeah, tryptophobia.
He might be afraid of holes. He needs to get hit in the eye so there's three rims.
Exactly. Like LeBron.
It's that clip of him passing the ball when he was standing under the hoop with Trae Young coming over, who he's got like a foot on, was just – 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 Embiid 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. And that makes perfect sense.
You can't have a guy out there who does. That would be like if we went out there.
I know obviously Ben Simmons is a great defender. I'm not knocking him there.
He had 11 assists. Or 14.
Or no. 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.
Like we would do the same thing. The only person that's compared.
Like Rajon Rondo 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, and like, you know, if he needed to get a shot, he would get a shot. Yeah, like, go towards the...
Even if it was ugly, he would... If you have an open layup, you should probably consider taking the open layup.
Yeah, Joe Kimono 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. It's just absolutely like I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.
And listen, we also need to put some blame on Doc Rivers, who we went through that on Thursday, but he has not a great history outside of the one championship. 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.
He's just a sloppy guy. He loves falling down.
I think his hands might be too big. That might be the issue.
He's all fingers. He's just doing a lot of poking.
There were a few times where it was clear that he was going to be the person that was going to provide all the offense, and if you make him drive to the hole in the fourth quarter, he's going to bounce it off his shins every time. I think he has a little mental issue, too.
It's like they built an entire team out of Chuck Knoblox, where you forgot how to throw the ball to first base. Except the only guy who could play is Doc Rivers' son, or his son-in-law, who's out there playing, and Seth Curry, who actually was playing well, but that's pretty much it.
And he was the one guarding Kevin Herter. Yeah.
Kevin Herter. We've got to talk about the Hawks.
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. I actually think that if you're a Sixers fan, in a weird way, this is for the good.
And I know that that makes no sense on face value because you can go through the entire process and you point to a million different things that went wrong. You wish you had Jason Tatum.
All these things. You wish you'd kept Jimmy Butler, traded for James Harden.
But at the end of the day, this was going to happen no matter what. Ben Simmons, he does not want to shoot basketballs.
But they've lost so much value with him. Of course.
Of course. But it's better you find out in such a spectacular failure than to have it be like a slow death from a thousand paper cuts where he kind of doesn't show up for series at a time.
It's better that it happens in a great big way that's impossible to ignore. But he's so young he could go somewhere else and be nasty.
But someone will think, 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.
It's just the whole point of shooting a basketball into a hoop is the game
and he just doesn't want to do that.
He might be the best player in the NBA if there wasn't a basket.
Yes.
If it was Hoosiers when they're not allowed, no, they didn't get to play with a basketball in that scene when they weren't able to practice the basketball. The four corners era? Yeah, Ben Simmons would be elite.
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. 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.
Yeah, and also, if you're a Philadelphian, your native mindset is always just being pissed off at your sports teams. Pop in the Super Bowl, DGG.
You're like a duck in water if you're a Philly fan because now you get to call in to Big Ant and Angelo and be like, you got to blow the whole thing up, Big Ant. I'll take my answer off the air.
This is what you've practiced for your whole life. If Philadelphia became an elite sports city, let's think about it this way.
After they win a Super Bowl, they grease up their light poles. People climb up them.
Who knows how many lives were saved by Ben Simmons not being able to shoot a foul shot. It's true.
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... It's actually for the better because this was never going to work, and you hope that you get someone who can make Joel Embiid not have to turn the ball over in every fourth quarter and fall on the ground because he's the only offense.
I do want to give credit to the Hawks. Kevin Herter, max contract right now.
Sign it. That was a legacy game for him.
And so Trae Young was terrible tonight. We can all agree.
It was probably the most fascinating game to watch in that it wasn't a very great game. Game 7 Nets Bucks was a great game.
This game, though, was so fascinating because you had one guy in Ben Simmons who refused to shoot. 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.
And he ends up like it wasn't a great night for him. He did still make happen with the assist but the hawks in general no one picked them to go to the eastern conference final they they are a great story they're like i 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 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 Trae Young's a superstar.
And we get to see another couple weeks of Trae Young doing just silencing crowds. The emergence of Trae Young, the troll, has been my favorite part of these playoffs, with the exception of the Suns and Four guy.
But I love watching people get pissed off at Trae Young, because he seems to actually enjoy playing that role of being the heel. He's really good at it.
I was getting all worked up for Netsixers next round, so I'm trying to figure out ways where I'm going to pretend that I'm actually excited about Hawks Bucks. Kevin Herter, sweet nickname.
They call him Red Velvet, 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, like it's an extremely polarizing thing. If you have a ginger, that's good at sports because you either have to like, just call them like the red Mamba, like Scalabrini, but red velvet is just, it's the smoothest nickname.
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 Trae Young, 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. 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. Yeah, next one.
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.
Yeah, we got sweet Lou Will, too. Even Pepper Lou.
John Collins just jumping all over people. I mean, they're a fun team, and I'll talk myself into it.
And the Haw Hawks crowds have been awesome. Like, yeah, we're going to get
into this. It's good.
It's good.
It's good. Everything's fine.
I would have liked
to see the Nets, but it's good. It's good,
guys. Hank, do you have any
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? Well, yeah, I mean, I think
they tried their hardest. It's been, you know, 20
years since they made the Eastern Conference Finals. They were
so close this year, and I think eventually
they're going to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals. You're going to put your reputation on the line? I do believe, I truly believe, you know, as much as I've said bad things about Philly, it's only been, you know, my honest opinion, and I do believe eventually they will make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.
So that's, you know... Just trust the process.
Yeah, you can go to bed at night being like, yeah. A few more pieces here and there, a different coach.
At some point, it's going to happen. A bunch of injuries to other teams and other players.
We can make it. Yeah.
I wonder if Bogdanovich... It's not like Atlanta was losing a starter or anything.
And one of their best bench players. Yeah.
But, fuck, man. Bogdanovich is definitely...
You know what's funny is I always forget Tony Snell is on the Hawks, and if Tony Snell – if the Hawks play the Suns in his Tony Snell versus campaign in the finals, that would be very funny. Yeah.
For me, just me personally pretty much. But the Hawks deserve credit.
I want to make sure that we stop, pause, and say that this team deserves a ton of credit because
they just haven't given up.
They have been... 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 Trae Young hitting every shot, they win it
that way. Bogdanovich, all those guys.
Kevin Herter is like...
Fuck, man. The Kevin Herter game.
It happened.
That happened. Kevin Herter game happened.
Alright, let let's talk Nets box. So I was there.
It was an awesome game. Incredible game.
It was an all-time silent arena moment at the end flashing forward. So the Kevin Durant shot to end regulation.
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. But it was that.
I still don't know how they didn't, like, I guess you don't want to bring a double with, like, six seconds. But it was so, like, I've never been in a moment where it's like he's going to make the shot no matter what.
It's just whether it's a three or a two. I thought it was a three when he hit it.
Yeah well i 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 that's tough which sucks and they brought out the ropes yeah for for the front row to like keep everyone off yeah and and then i was like wait that was definitely a two-pointer. Did he actually change into smaller shoes right after that?
Or was somebody joking about that?
I think that was a joke.
Okay, they pulled the wool over my ass.
But that end of the game shot, that one was an all-time.
We've talked about the moments, like the sounds that happen in arenas,
the shriek, the stunned silence.
To have Kevin Durant airball the three-pointer after an unbelievable game where he put the Nets on his back and Blake too, but he did everything for them. Everyone looked around like, wait, there wasn't a foul? What happened? It had to be blocked.
You're like, is this something, and there's only .3 seconds left? Something's wrong. Basically, everyone's like, no, no, no, this isn't the ending.
Turn the machines back on. We've got to replay 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 bailed 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 you're like so the flag's coming yeah 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 you wait for the refsuddle up, and then the announcer's like, I wonder what they're talking about.
And then you have another 15 seconds where they're just actually saying, no, there's .3 seconds left, not .4 seconds. Yeah, the game is fully over.
So that was only the third time in Game 7 history. This was a stat from our friend Kirk Goldsberry.
Third time in Game 7 history dueling 40-point performances, which is pretty cool. The other times were Paul Pierce vs.
LeBron in 2008 and Sam Jones vs. Oscar Robinson in 1963, which we obviously remember that game.
Weirdly, I think Kevin Durant gained from this. Oh, yeah.
I mean, the shot at the interregulation was huge. 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.
I think maybe not gained because obviously he doesn't go to the finals, 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 is. And he had an all-time sad too, after that shot.
I know. I felt so bad for him.
He looked like a puppy. He thought that the machines were broken, too.
Yeah, he's like, that's not what my shot does. I'm telling you, it was the weirdest feeling.
Everyone was looking around like, wait, that's it? Because he tried to do the exact same shot that 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. 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.
Yeah, it was tough. It was tough to see Blake's performance.
I think he – how many times does Blake dive on the floor during one game? He was awesome. He loves the floor.
He was grit and grind 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. No offense
to the Hawks, but I think people would pick the Bucs
over the Hawks.
It also was a great lesson in
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 2 for 17 and chris middleton was four for 16 and they both like drew holiday had a john starks game going he was terrible he was terrible he ends up going three for six in his last six field goal attempts and chris middleton goes five for ten in his last ten and it's like that's you can for three quarters. 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. I also like Coach Buds.
Coach Buds has this look on his face all the time. Like he's got resting scared face.
He's just terrified of everything that's happening. He makes good moves.
I think, was it a few years ago where we were like lamenting the loss of Joe Pronte? Yeah. Because he was an all-time face guy.
Yeah. And I think Bud's is a worthy heir apparent to that.
He looks like a dad who's coming down to tell the kids at the sleepover to be quiet, but he's also a little intimidated by the kids. Like, there's one big kid down there.
Yeah, I'm a little bit 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? Keep having your fun.
I'll just go back upstairs. You are like a dad that gets called in for 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.
He's just tired. He's just tired.
He's tired and he's scared. He just looks terrified all the time.
But I love Coach Buds.
I like the Bucs.
I like their fans.
That's the only thing about Trae Young is like,
I don't know if Trae Young can muster up hatred
towards the city of Milwaukee.
They seem to be kind of like the sons of the East.
I think Trae Young can do that.
I think that's what makes Trae Young special.
I think he can muster it up for anyone.
Like he can play the respect card. I think Trae Young is going to muster up respect for just everybody in the media.
I feel like we're overdue for him to be like no one said that we could be here. They all said that we were going to lose in the first round, which is true.
I think, yeah, we definitely said that. So he'll just play like us versus the world card right now.
From just a storyline perspective, it also is great. The Nets losing.
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 more. 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.
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 do anything but get fouled.
I actually... They got to get a little bit more Brooklyn with their game.
I think Michael Rapoport was right. How do we add an element of Brooklyn-ness to the Brooklyn Nets? True.
I had one of those moments post-COVID where you realize how much you miss the little things. Walking out of the arena, I just was talking about James Harden fouls, and I got into a spirited debate with a complete 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 letting him do it and then giving him free throws all the time.
And it was great. It was like, man, this was fun.
You know when you 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. That's a major dudes rock situation.
Yeah, and I was just like, you know what? That was cool. All right, see ya.
Have we had the take yet that James Harden gets injured because he jumps into fouls? Like he jumps at weird angles? Yeah, I mean, he doesn't get injured that much, but yeah. But this year.
I got corrected by that. This year? Yeah.
I'm going off what I see right now, Big Cat. What I see right now is a very injured James Harden.
It was, I don't know. I mean, it's weird having both the Nets and the Sixers when everyone thought it was going to be like a collision course.
Yeah. To have that be out.
But hey, Hawks and Bucs, we're going to fucking enjoy the hell out of it. David Stern would never let this happen.
Ever. Ever.
Ever. Adam Silver was definitely like, what's the name of our mayor here in New York City? DeBlasio.
DeBlasio. No, Warren Wilhelm, right? DeBlasio.
He definitely looked like DeBlasio sitting at home with his Nets jersey and Nets hat on for Game 7. Yep.
Like, let's go, boys. We got this.
God damn it. I wanted Blake to get a chip.
I did too. But you know what? I just wanted to see Dax on the victory parade with him.
Hopefully he stays. Hopefully you know, we're going to get him on this summer.
Hopefully he stays. Hopefully he gets the chip.
Like I said, they're earning it now. Yeah.
Is he a free agent again? Yes. Yes.
That's exciting. Yeah.
Especially Blake of the Year season. It only comes back for two days and you start mumbling your words.
Also, this was the curse of lucky. Leprechaun.
Yeah, that's true. Yeah.
You could say that the Celtics beat the Nets. How close do you think Kyrie was to coming back and playing? Probably like 95% and he's just like, no, I don't want to.
Yeah, he definitely could have if he wanted to.
He's probably waiting for the conference finals.
I teed that up for you.
Actually, was Reggie Miller right?
Yeah.
If they had rested Kevin Durant and James Harden,
do we as a nation owe Reggie Miller an apology?
Reggie, I'm sorry.
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. 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 wagging. No Chris Paul, no Kawhi, so I think that evens it out.
Devin Booker was insane. He had 11 points going into halftime, and I think he ended with 40.
Also, the Clippers game six on Friday night was one of the craziest swings in basketball I've ever seen. Yeah.
Yes. It was crazy.
And then after the game when they were interviewing Mann, because it was the Terrence Mann game, right? Yep. It was the Terrence Mann game.
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.
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. Paul George is like a Hall of Fame.
Don't let him answer a question for too long. Like if he gets to more than 30 seconds, he's going to say something not like terrible, just ridiculous.
No, I loved it because I could see the wheels turning. It's like, yeah, protect that ego.
I think that's how playoff P happened. I think he was just answering a question.
He got too far down the road, and he was like, yeah, they call me playoff P. And then Balmer's pumped to be there.
Balmer is the living definition of the word pumped. He's just pumped all day, every day.
What's up? If I was a billionaire like Steve Balmer and the coach wasn't wearing a mask, I feel like I just wouldn't be wearing a mask either. If I owned the team and I was sitting courtside, he looks like he's wearing the shittiest, most uncomfortable mask.
Here's my theory. I think he's got 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. 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 under any circumstance like i would i if i were his level of rich i'd probably wear a mask all the time because i'd be like you know what even a common cold like this life i got right now is so fucking sweet i'm not giving it up for anything he also probably like a billionaire walks into a room with the uh unw.
He's like, I don't know what these pores have. Right, exactly.
I don't have access to all the future medicine I do. 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... It's been a very funny hug playoff.
Steve Nash and Kevin Durant after Game 5 was awesome. 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? He wakes up sweating.
He makes Chris Berman look like the driest man in America. Yeah, I think the shower just never takes for him.
No. Shout out White Sox, Dave.
So, yeah, the Suns, Devin Booker game. It was a Devin Booker game.
All I'm saying is Suns and four. Suns and four.
Devin Booker game. Although, Suns fans, I saw there was a new fight video.
Let's not make this a thing. This one looked a little less chill.
Yeah, this one wasn't. We saw the full video.
Like a beatdown. Like you were a half second away from a curb stomping.
Yeah, it was bad. It was bad.
The Suns and Four original video, if you watch 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 didn't post interview i 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 uh like lack of self-awareness that everyone should aspire to have no this guy just likes having his name on the on the internet. He likes opening up an app like Twitter and seeing his own face on it.
To him, that's fame. Anything you can do to stick around with fame.
He should actually try to fight Suns and Four guy at Rough and Rowdy. We would do it.
We'd put on that fight for sure. I liked how he was saying that I just got scratched on my nose.
I never actually got punched on it. Yeah, you can see it.
Like, I'd have a black eye. I don't have a black eye.
You give me another week, I'm gonna think he actually won the fight. Yes, yes.
But, uh, yeah, the Suns, they're a wagon. 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 it's...
Who's Batman, who's Robin? I think it's... I think they have the perfect age disparity, where Chris Paul's old enough, where he's just like...
Yeah. Like, step on him, our wing young guys.
Who's Batman Batman and who's Catwoman not getting her pussy eaten? I think Devin Booker's Batman. I, yeah.
But he also, like, probably defers to Chris Paul. I think it's like an 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, that's just the reality of it. So Devin Booker is needed very much so to be that guy who can carry the team and score a ton of points.
The young dog also keeps the old dog alive for longer, with the exception of Champ and Major RIP. But that's why a lot of people get a younger dog.
Yeah. Because it keeps the older one active, so it's good for both of them.
Yeah, so 40-point triple-double for Devin Booker. Insane game.
Insane game. Like I said, he had 11 points going into halftime, and then he just went off.
And playoff B's been playing really well, but not enough for Devin Booker. He's playoff okay now.
Yeah, I mean, he definitely deserves all the credit for that Utah Jazz series because Kawhi got hurt, and that was it. 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 definitely be quiet.
He's quarantining he's symptom-free. 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. Is it one of those spiders? One of those three-wheelers? Oh, he has a different one every time.
That's cool. And they're all old, souped-up Cadillacs.
It's got to be tough for Ben Simmons, too. That's his ex-girlfriend's now dating Booker.
And Booker actually knows how to shoot a basketball into a hoop. He can find a hole.
Yeah, that's the part that really kills. That's an upgrade.
What is Ben? Ben Simmons, what do you do? What do you do? Someone I saw on Twitter, Markel Fultz also couldn't shoot in Philadelphia. True.
Maybe he just got to change the scenery. But can he shoot in Orlando? He learned how to shoot.
Sort of. He's better, but...
I remember Markel Fultoles literally was on it. Yeah, he was totally broken.
He is a little more fixed. What about a hypnotist? That's what I would go for if I was a Sixers.
Just get the men in black thing and erase their entire memory of this entire playoff series. Do you know what the problem is? I actually am now talking myself into I kind of want Ben Simmons on the Bulls.
Just because he's 6'10 and plays great defense. And, like, oh, my God, the skills that he has.
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.
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. How old is he right now? He's 25.
He could be 24. You can learn how to shoot.
Chris Paul learned how to shoot. Ray John Rondo learned how to shoot.
He knows everything else. Yeah.
He has everything else. It's just the shooting part, which is important.
We should keep stressing. Yes, it's very important.
Very important. 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. Right.
Oh, man. All right, hockey talk real quick.
Golden Knights tied up the series with the Canadians, which actually kind of sucks. The Canadians were up until late, I think, in the third period.
They blew that one. They got their own goal, the flurry.
Oh, they did? He was trying to clear the puck behind the net, and it kicked out, and they just scored it. With like 30 seconds left.
That was the last game. Tonight, they won in overtime.
Yeah, the Knights won in overtime. They benched Flurry today, which is something that no one really saw coming until what happened, what's been happening in the playoffs with him.
He's doing whatever the opposite of standing on your head is. 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 that next series. 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, I could, I saw everyone tweeting about it.
I'm like, nah, it can't be this good. And then I watched it.
Like, how the fuck did this happen? So that was incredible. And shout out all the people who, when I was like, when, when game seven is going on and it was incredible and everyone was talking about it and I was like, this game is awesome,
shout out to the guys who replied and were like,
you're talking about hockey, right?
Because a hockey game is better.
Just always a competition.
I love that.
I appreciate that.
It's good to keep that rivalry fresh for everyone.
But that Islanders game was awesome.
And we might go to the Collier in Game 6.
Maybe last game ever.
Right?
Yeah.
Should we go?
Close the barn down.
Get loud in that place.
Butterknife?
Could be the move.
There's just really...
There could be a butterknife situation.
You cannot be able to butterknife our way in there.
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 concourse to get to them.
I assume they have sinks.
We might just have to dipe up for it, boys.
Trashcans work.
I'll see you next time. bathrooms in the entire arena.
You have to walk all the way around in the concourse to get to them. I assume they have sinks.
We might just have to dipe up for it, boys. Trash cans work.
I didn't break the seal on Saturday night until the end of the third quarter. I've never been more proud of myself.
Still got it. Still got it situation.
I don't know if they still make it. There was this invention like 10, 15 years ago called the Stadium Pal.
And what it was, it was essentially just like a condom that you put on the tip of your pee-pee. It was a catheter.
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.
We should dipe up with the Stadium Pal. Absolutely.
All right. Should we talk some U.S.
Open? I'm happy that we can talk U.S. 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 DeChambeau wins this US 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 he sucks because so it was he was minus five through eight with the solo lead, and then he ended up finishing tied for 26th.
Yeah, I mean, we call him a lot of stuff on this show. We've called him a steroid user, a cheater, a dork, a loser, a nerd.
What else have we called him? Snowman. Snowman.
We call him a lot of stuff, but we've never called him a quitter until today. And he quit when his giant cleats didn't save him.
What was it, the 13th hole on that drive that he hit? His foot slipped out from under him on his left foot. At that point, Bryson was like, I don't want to be out here anymore.
And he quit. He is a mentally weak golfer.
Yeah. Which we already knew because he's having heart attacks because somebody's calling him by the wrong name.
Right. But this was even noteworthy for Bryson to show his lack of mental toughness.
Shout out the guy who, after Bryson's scold one over the green, was like, should have used a calculator on that one. That's a funny chirp.
Jon Rahm, though, was, there was a moment, like, I don't know, maybe like 5 o'clock, 6 o'clock at night on Sunday where it felt like everyone wanted to lose the U.S. Open.
No one wanted to win it. People were just imploding left and right.
But Jon Rahm finishes with two insane putts. 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 Jon Rahm.
And he had the COVID thing 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. And I love his look.
He's got, you know, every golfer either looks like an emaciated bat boy or like they just got stung by bees. He looks like he's having the allergic reaction to the bee.
He's just a swollen person. He just has a nice pouch.
He has a nice, like, strength that comes from his belly that you just know he's going to be able to last four days of golf. He's got a huge face to him, big head.
He's a big Jon Rahm. He's big Jon Rahm.
Was he like 6'2"? Yeah, the 6'6". Big Jon Rahm.
Actually, 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. 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 threw us, like, a 35
yard spiral on a dime. Yeah.
I didn't see that. Impressive stuff.
They also
got engaged at Torrey Pines. Or maybe
married at Torrey Pines. Oh, really?
Is that his home track? So I had the, 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 hole 13 or 14.
So I put it on on the radio. Interesting experience.
The only thing I really picked up from it. Do you know Louis Oosthuizen's name? Louis Oosthuizen? Yeah.
Do you know his name? It's not Louis Oosthuizen? No, his name is Lodewickus Theodorus Oosthuizen. That's so sick.
That's a classic South African theme. They said it.
Yeah. I was like, what are they saying right now? Lodewickus, L-O-D-E-W-I-C-U-S, Theodorus Oosthuizen.
Yeah, South African people, they name their kids like you would name one of the lesser known Greek gods. Awesome.
It gives a little bit of class to it. And Brooks was awesome.
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.
And he's never finished behind Bryson at a major in which they have fans. I had a moment on Friday that I had to kind of check myself.
My son's birthday turned two on Saturday, and so his birthday party with all his friends was on Friday. So we had kids over and the parents, and we had the U.S.
Open on, and one of the parents came over and was like, oh oh how's bryson doing and i looked him dead in the eyes like we're a fuck bryson de chambeau household just so you know 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 it's a little aggressive so i i had a moment where i was like you know what maybe the right maybe i need to cool off on the rivalry. No, you don't turn down from 10, big guy.
He was so confused.
Like, why did that guy just say that to me?
No, also, shout out to the golf streaker.
I feel like we don't get that as often.
So the golf streaker ran out there.
He had two balls with him.
He brought his own golf club.
Are you allowed to do that?
You can just go to a golf tournament with a club like it's a mitt that you take to a baseball game? Dude, I saw a guy at the Nets game with a basketball. That's awesome.
So cool. I almost hit it out of his hands, but who does that? He's probably just dribbling through the concourse, crossing people up.
Not a kid. Yeah.
Not a kid. Ball is life, dude.
Mid-20s. I'm pretty sure they sell.
It was not a sold one. It wasn't like a team logo.
It was a ball is truly life. I'm going to this basketball game.
I'm bringing a basketball. 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.
There we go. Yeah, but I guess you can bring a club.
Why are people bringing full bags? I went to one U.S. Open.
I wore a golf glove. Yeah, I like that.
I also like the dudes that show up in spikes. Yep.
Like to get better traction as they're walking around, as they're chasing down their favorite golfer. Bryson could have used them.
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. A lot of weird stuff was happening in the afternoon on the back nine.
Was it Shoffley's ball got stuck in a tree? In the tree! After it hit off the golf cart? The golf path? Bizarre. And Torrey Pines is just weird because you just have people parasailing and what is that called? Parasailing? They were the cameraman.
They were taking the spot where you would traditionally have the Goodyear blimp.
But no, but there was...
It just drifts above.
There's other guys.
Regular guys are doing it, too.
Oh, I thought all the people up there just had cameras.
No.
I don't think so.
I think...
No, those weren't just...
No.
It seemed to me like something...
They're just fans.
You would only see in a golf video game.
Yes.
And it just...
Yeah, like an N64 game.
Yeah.
And it was just... It was windy, though, so it was probably Parasailing? Yeah, good parasailing.
Is it parasailing? Parasailing or kiteboarding? Kiteboarding? I don't think it's kiteboarding. Winsurfing? Is it windsurfing? Are they windsurfing? I couldn't see close enough.
I guess they technically are windsurfing. They are windsurfing, but that's not windsurfing.
I think they're paragliding. Paragliding? I just kept on thinking, like like what if one of them crashes or crash into each other because you don't have like air traffic control telling you where to turn it's just you're in the sky the sky belongs to God wasn't there one of those at the soccer game that crashed oh yeah that was a parachuter parachuted into the soccer game almost took out a full row of people yes I think he got caught on the spider cam actually the spider cam, actually, when he was trying to land.
Anything from the Euros that we should talk about? People got really mad because I posted that screenshot of Ronaldo. Germany.
Apparently he ran box to box. Germany and Netherlands look good.
France looks okay. Mbappe is 19.
Ah, France looks bad. No, they look okay.
No, that was a loss. That was a tie loss.
I know. It was a 1-1 loss.
It was a tie loss. Which happens.
England had a 1-1 loss to Scotland. No, 0-0.
0-0. Even worse.
0-0. Yeah.
Big cat. Even worse loss.
But yeah, so those are some bad losses from some of the favorites. It's going 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.
This is going to be Germany, France. England is going to lose in the semifinals, although I am addicted to saying it's coming home.
Italy and Spain. Yep.
Who cares? Oh, nice. I like that.
I like that. And we had no PLL this week, so let's get to our Who's Back of the Week.
Who's Back of the Week is brought to you by our friends. We're going to get right back to the show.
Auto insurance can all seem the same until it comes time to use it. So don't get stuck paying more for less coverage.
Switch to USA Auto Insurance and you could start saving money in no time. Get a quote today.
Restrictions apply. USA! All right, back to part of my take.
Hank, your who's back of the week. My who's back of the week is Red Bull Racing.
Okay. Yeah.
They won in France this week, and that's now two races since we've had him on and two wins. So Horner is locked in on the toilet that he likes to piss in.
And I think they're in first 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.
He did. So the PMT F1 bump is real.
This was the first time I woke up. I was a little hungover, and I was like, oh, I can actually watch this.
It's kind of delightful, right? Yeah, it's weird. I love the show.
I really do like the show. I binged it in like two weeks.
Still, I'm getting used to watching it live because I don't really know what's going on. It's hard to follow who's doing well and who's not.
It is a little hard to follow, and there are a lot of people online who are pretending 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 we're gonna overtake is about the only thing yeah we're gonna figure it out push push push push that was mega um i something about just waking up and having uh an announcer with an english accent is soothing yeah it just works 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.
If they could make the cars just like 20% less noisy, I'd be all in. I was actually listening to an F1 podcast.
No big deal. Sounds exhilarating.
It is. They were lamenting that the cars are too soft.
Oh, really? They have gotten a lot softer with the electric nature and everything. They used to be true American, not actually American.
Muscle, no, but no, you're right. You know what I mean? Yeah, American engines.
Some kick you in the dick and fucking have a car that blows your ears out kind of engine. 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. Yeah.
No, but people are saying it doesn't sound like an F1. Because right now, it just reminds me of the Vuvuzelas in car form 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.
So if it was a little bit quieter, I'd be happy. Or if it was just like make your balls shake shake god i would like that go with that one if you want to be a real f1 okay yeah the cars are too soft they're too soft there's it's become they're basically racing toy cars yeah it's the pussification of america europe yeah no seriously they that is like a big that's actually a real complaint okay i'm also too soft you talked me into it i'm on board with it Is is that it hank uh also track and field and swimming 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 i'm sorry that i'm not giving you credit please let me know i'll give you credit 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 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. I'd be cool with that.
Another two ideas that I would have for so we'll also like dye the pool different colors i think that'd be sick if it was like the uh like eastern washington field or the central michigan like give me some different looks to the playing field 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 a glass that divided it.
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, maybe a couple of sharks.
I think that'd be sick.
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. I mean, that sounds good.
It would be fun to watch. That sounds that sounds good too but it would be nice to see some marine life in the water yeah i how about just we'll settle for the dye the myth dye that uh you know makes the color when you piss in the pool just so we can watch and be like hey that person pissed yeah they all do yeah no i know but it'd be funny to watch in real time like oh they pissed up they pissed and if the die was actually brown so it looked like they shot in the uh-huh yeah that'd be funny either way just get normal people like a normal guy just throwing the shot put 18 feet yep would just be a very funny thing to watch yep all right what's your oh your who's back my who's back of the week is kyle swarber kyle swber's back in a big way.
My favorite baseball player, Kyle Schwarber, he's a gnat for life. We love him in this city.
We're going to keep him running. We're going to do whatever it takes to keep Kyle Schwarber home in D.C.
for as long as we can. He embodies D.C.
He embodies D.C. I know you're trying to troll me, but you can't troll him.
No, I'm not. I'm saying I love him, too.
He's amazing. I know you're trying to troll me.
You look at that guy's face and you're like, that guy is an East Coaster for life. What I'm saying is I love him.
I'm happy that he's doing well. He's the type of guy that I don't...
He could go to any... I would even say...
I would probably not say it out loud, but if he was on the Cardinals and he was hitting home runs, there'd be a small part of him and be like, fuck yes, Schwarber, you're the best. Three home runs today, two home runs yesterday.
Lighting the world on fire. He hit, I think he hit four last weekend.
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.
Hopefully win several World Series with us, go into the Hall of Fame as national. Mr.
Nat is what we're calling him. Got it.
Kyle Schwarber, my other who's bad. Again, you can't troll me.
I'm not. I'm saying I love Kyle Schwarber.
You're not. Kyle Schwarber is a great.
You totally watched every Schwarber at bat. I watched him today.
I have an alert that's set up. Remember when they used to cut in to Mark McGuire when he was in the home run chase? When Schwarber's up, it's like, I call them Schwarbombs.
Got it. He's in a few of those.
I'm really enjoying it. My other who's back of the week is burner accounts because Josh Allen allegedly has a burner account was he joking about it? definitely was he kidding about it? for sure I read Billy's blog about it let's keep going that was like the biggest joke of all time my blog said it was a joke I didn't read all Billy's blog.
But I was hoping that Josh Allen would have had a burner account.
No, it was a very clear joke.
Okay.
Clickbait move.
Clickbait move on Billy's part.
And you got clickbaited by Billy?
I got clickbaited by Billy.
Yeah.
Wow.
Okay.
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.
And it just felt good going from last week, we were eating 26 Papadias, to this week, we're back to having someone just constantly push steroids on us.
And I like that.
He's my six-backs coach and that was one of his suggestions.
I'm open to anything.
People are saying
you got to do it natural.
Yeah, I mean,
I obviously said no
to the steroids.
Yeah, right.
I am open.
My ears are open.
What about the HGH though?
That's steroids.
I'm just trying to talk
Hank down from doing SARMs
because he was raising it
like actually.
SARMs?
Yeah.
I said,
should I do SARMs?
What is SARMs?
Someone tweeted at me
when we had the conversation
where like, yo dude, you should definitely do SARMs. So then I sent to Billy, it was said, should I do Sarmes? What is Sarmes? Someone tweeted at me when we had the conversation.
We're like, yo, dude, you should definitely do Sarmes. So then I sent it to Billy.
It was like, should I do Sarmes? And to Billy's credit, once again, he had actually written a blog about the dangers of Sarmes. So I got all my information from that.
Okay. There we go.
He's back. Right.
He's back. 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.
It has to be the first time that's ever happened. You tell us.
No. I don't know if you can have a walk-off defensive play.
You tell us. I know, yes.
Game-winning triple play. I think it counts.
I think it's a walk-off. It's a game-winning triple play.
Boy, you tell us. Okay, I'll do the research.
It's happened before. Tim Kirchgen, he was talking about it earlier today.
I think he said it was 2009, maybe. What are you doing with the mic here? I'm trying.
We've got some technical difficulties. It was sick, though.
Triple plays should replace no-hitters because they're cooler than no-hitters. Actually, I think you should be able to get a run for a triple play.
What do you mean? On defense, you should be able to score a run if you get a triple play. Yeah.
You should also be able to try to get a quadruple play. That's where a run should happen.
So just keep, like if its base is loaded. Try to get everybody out.
Try to get everyone out even though you don't need to. Oh, like a pass ball strikeout error? No, 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 you can do a double play on the last. If there's a one out, you get a triple play, that should count as a run.
I like that. Yeah.
So you're always just trying to get the extra out. You should absolutely figure out a way to score on defense.
Instead of giving us six more designated hitters, like
I'm sure Manfrotto's going to try to do at some point this year,
just give us what the fans want, and that's
defensive runs. 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 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.
BFT wouldn't listen to us. Jake, you got it? It's the first time in Yankees history they turn a triple play and won via walk-off.
What, are the only teams? Yeah, the only teams that are the Yankees? 27 rings. This is a complex stat.
What? It's a what stat? Complex. Bonk.
Complex? Yeah, there we go. There we go.
Don't teach you that, Syracuse? No. All right.
I've been bad with pronunciations today. You okay? Yeah, I'm good.
Sure. Yeah.
Okay. All set.
All right. I'll get the answer for you soon.
All right. Perfect.
All right. Let's get to our interview.
We got Greg Olson and George Kittle. Okay, we now welcome on very special guests.
Thanks for that clap there. This sucks because we have Greg Olson and we have George Kittle, but we call George Greg, so now my brain's already confused.
But we have Greg Olson and George Kittle. 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.
Greg, I wanted to start with you. Can we do the sentimental stuff at the end? Because I don't want to cry at the beginning of the interview son done okay all right but we will do that at the end whenever you watch your show bud how was your father's day it was awesome i spent it watching my other son my oldest son play baseball in charleston okay so it was that it was actually pretty awesome and a pretty special father's day because yep we'll do that at, no.
Let's do it at the end. I think we're getting into it right now.
No, no, no. We're going to do it at the end.
I want to give the people a tease. All right.
So Tight End University, 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. That was confusing.
So George – oh yeah so wait why do you why do you call george we just started calling him greg for it it felt like it fit to be honest and then right after we started doing it great name everybody else started calling him greg by accident it was like a i think espn wrote an article and then the headline yeah it called you greg kittle i think what it was and this is going to be no offense to ge, 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, you know, a king in England or a bulldog.
Like those are Georges. Greg, yeah, like George just doesn't fit the style that Greg plays.
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.
Oh, wow. Wow, they'll never figure that out.
It's really 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? Whoa. 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, 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.
We had gotten to know each other over the last couple of years, we have the same marketing agent and, you know congrats man you know good good good career kind of thing and we just started texting back and forth we had gotten to know each other over the last couple years we have the same marketing agent and you know just got to know each other from playing and whatnot and um 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 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 forth, we kind of thought maybe there'd be something bigger involved. And we said, let's get Kelsey involved.
And he immediately said yes. So the three of us kind of jumped on a call and a handful of conversations later, we got over 50 NFL tight ends coming down to Nashville, but George is kind of hosting us down there at some facilities he has access to.
And it really just started organically from just a random text conversation
after I retired.
So you invited Gronk, and you also invited Tebow.
Is Tebow there with you right now?
I'm going to let George take this one.
So nothing against Tim Tebow, but I found it hard to invite.
I wish nothing but the best for Tim Tebow, And I hope he has a fantastic season playing tight end, 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 because the thing is we do have limited spots. I wish I could make it a brand a every, every NFL tight end could come every, it's successful to everybody.
But like what we tried to do this year is we we wanted like to pay for everything for all the tight ends to come to kind of make it a brand a every every nfl titan could come every it's successful to everybody but like what we tried to do this year is we uh we wanted like to pay for everything for all the titans to come to kind of make it a special like uh event for all tight ends and so like we we booked up an entire hotel like they're completely out of room 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 like we didn't we thought we're gonna get like 20 guys and next thing i know have 47 confirmed, like as of last week, I think we just got past 50, but it's just like, wow. Like that's a lot of guys that we weren't, you know, like we kind of expect the guys to want to jump in, but it just kind of happened like that.
And so hopefully in the next years to come, we can make it like open and available to everybody. Just like a quick headline grab.
Would you like to extend an invitation to Tim Tebow for next year's camp? 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.
Okay, so here's a follow-up question. Headline.
Here's a follow-up question. And, Greg, no offense to Tim Tebow, 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, like, Tebow or the casual fan doesn't realize about playing the tight end position that, like, he's not going able to pick up overnight what's the because he's a crazy athlete right great athlete played you know minor league baseball heisman trophy all these things 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 mini camp this takes years and years of practice yeah and i don't think it's going to be necessarily Tebow, right? 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? 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. And then when they want to make the transition to trying in the NFL, you're like, yeah, let's just make that guy a tight end.
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.
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. 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.
I just think everybody thinks when their original position or sport comes to an end, like, oh, fuck it, I'll just go i'm like what like it actually seems like maybe the hardest position to pick up because you're gonna do so much so what is the quarterback 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 i mean i think it's the fact that you you have to be good at everything like you can't just like you can't you get you can be an elite route runner 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 300 pound defensive then like you kind of have they kind of like um call plays around you instead of like you being able to be the focal point but you have to be very good at pass pro, running routes, setting the edge, being able to crack on a safe, to be able to sit block a defensive end. You have to be in the backfield for protection, like a running back.
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 tied in you. And we always love the debate.
Whenever it comes up in 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? Yeah, it's Iowa.
I got Dallas Clark on my shirt right now for a reason, baby. That's tight.
I ran into Dallas Clark at a concert a couple years ago. It's Iowa, though.
I mean, come on. You're awesome.
Dallas was awesome. I got Hawkinson.
I got Fant in the first round. Never before done.
Fast. Within the last 10 years.
Are we saying NFL career, accomplishments? like what are we, if you want to talk, Miami went five tight ends in a row who were drafted in the first round, and the only guy who wasn't was drafted in the second round. When was that? That was pretty recent, right? So going back to Miami lineage, right, you have Bubba Franks, first round, Shockey, first round.
Kellen Winslow, first round. Kevin Everett, second round.
Me, first round. Since then, we've had Jimmy Graham, one of the most prolific guys of all time.
David Njoku was a first round pick. Career still kind of developing, but he's coming to the camp like super uber talented, kind of building his career up in Cleveland.
I mean, we've had dudes now.
Okay.
I like your counterpoint.
Here's a counter to your counterpoint.
Maybe don't say Kellen Winslow when you do the list.
Yeah, it's always uncomfortable.
That's always a tough one.
You had me with Bubba Frank's all-time football guy name.
No, we're like Peter King. Strictly on the field.
On the field only. It's the only thing that we'll discuss here.
Yeah, the Kellen one is tough. Well, no, you were talking about his dad.
Yeah. Yeah.
Kellen Winslow's senior. Yeah, that's who he meant.
Yes, exactly. Greg, is Mike Martz going to get invited to this tight end university? No.
I tried texting him.
He didn't get back to me.
He said he only has time for wide outs.
Yeah.
He would just show up and be like, I can't use any of these guys.
What the fuck?
One thing I will say.
Yeah.
Fuck, it's unbelievable.
It's fucking crazy.
But, no, so one thing I used to say until Kittle and Kelsey got their new contracts, you're a humble brag for you. 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.
Like other than Kelsey and Kittle, that applied to everybody else. But that running joke like we have to all we have to do the same shit that 15 million dollar left tackle has to do and run routes against the same guy the 15 million dollar wide receiver has to run routes against and they're going to pay us seven yeah yeah yeah yeah that's a good way to put it and george leading up to the draft we were talking about us some of us yeah yeah 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 having two awesome tight ends.
Did that thought occur to you? Were you like, you know what, we would be pretty fun to watch? 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 nothing it's crazy like he just always scores two touchdowns a game and i think um just his athletic ability and then his abilities on a football field he's gonna be very talented atlanta i wanted him to go like first overall like to be like the first time tied in to ever go first i mean i get it but i would have drafted him first yeah Yeah, and then right after that, I think, was when Kyle said,
like, I don't know if Jimmy Garoppolo is going to be alive at the draft,
so we can't make any guarantees.
That was an all-time coaching line.
It was awesome.
Has he ever threatened to kill you?
Kyle?
Yeah.
No, he's like, he doesn't, he's very in the moment.
It's like, you ask him, like, hey, 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, like, you know, in day, man.
We're all questionable. That was amazing.
How weird was it, though, that, like, the offseason with, you know, 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. I would imagine it's been a little awkward talking with Jimmy because I know you're friends with him.
Or does he have a good attitude like, hey, I'm going to just keep playing and hope things work out? I think it's more of a – I mean, the great thing about football is when you're given the opportunity, it's your job to lose it. So, I mean, we brought in like the last three years for 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. And 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. Like Jimmy had a great OTAs.
Like I said, he looked great. And, And 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, you know, Jimmy's, you know, he's ready to roll.
And it's exciting to see that fire in them. 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.
And we can pretty much pinpoint exactly what year it was based on a 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 i i just got godzilla yesterday hell yeah whoa hey hold on so the other day we're texting about coming on this show guys and the response from george and i said well shoot you know what about this weekend like any other he goes well saturday i'm flying to miami and i'm gonna spend eight hours getting a tattoo and i was like i was like all right i guess saturday's out they don't have yeah they don't tattoo places in nashville uh no it's just uh i had a tattooer i get a couple tattoo artists in my dms every once in a while they're like hey i'd love to like add love to add to your artwork. And I was like, I looked at some of his stuff, and I was like, this is really, really sick.
And like I said, I like some of his stuff. And 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 was like, yeah, I can do that. So I flew down, and I got tatted in Miami.
All right. I got a question for you then.
I'm 36 years old, father of two wish i had a tattoo is it too late for me i think it is my 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 the white buffalo white Buffalo hunter. And then he didn't get another tattoo until I think I was in,
I had graduated high school.
So he was,
he was a not tech 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 dad was a pastor for a while too.
Like pastors don't really get padded up all the time,
but he was, he was a, he was a lawyer for a while. 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. He's got a whale shark on his arm.
He's about to do, like, some type of tribal water tattoo on the rest of his forearm. So I can do it.
Maybe I've got to become i gotta become a football coach what's a good starter tattoo for somebody in their mid 30s maybe a single teardrop yeah um i don't know maybe like you know get something like you know connected to you like i don't know like your your son's birthday yeah look at you like there you go yeah like that's good yeah maybe start with that something that like people can't make fun of yeah yeah you're right we're gonna i have one of those too a what tat an ass tat you do let me see it of what it's my uh it's my college address for my freshman year i kind of want to see it i kind of want to see it i kind of want to see it we'll burn it out in tennessee on wednesday night and i'll show you then wait no you gotta Seriously, I need you to show me your ass when we get there, 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. So you can do it here.
Show us your ass. No, the – Seriously, show us your ass.
Show us your ass. No.
Show us your ass. I'll show you mine.
We'll all show our asses here. No, that's different.
What? That was the corner of my ass. I don't have a TV.
There's a lot of PFT's ass. He went full crack.
I only went a little. We're all showing asses here.
The best part of PFT's ass shot right there was his microphone. It was perfectly in his ass crack.
So you don't even need to blurry it.
It's like,
it was like he did it on purpose.
Smells funny.
Hank would do it,
but he doesn't have an ass.
Yeah.
Come on.
Oh,
damn.
That was,
that was me.
Wait,
show us your ass.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
I'll come whenever you guys come down for great week.
No,
you know what?
I'm,
I'm going on strike in this episode.
I'm not going to say another word until I see,
until I see George Kittle's ass.
Just show us a little peek. Hey, our sponsors need to see your ass.
Yeah. Sp word until I see George Kittle's ass.
Just show us a peek. A little peek.
Our sponsors need to see your ass.
The sponsors of TU need to see your ass.
My wife's
looking at me through the window right now and I'm going to pull out my ass.
She knows. She's seen it.
I like Greg. Retired
Greg. Oh, there it is.
That's upper ass.
830 Miller?
That's fine.
830 Miller? We saw a lot good. That's like lower back.
That's fine. 830 Miller?
We saw a lot more of both of our asses.
Four of us.
Yeah.
Great.
I have nothing to show on my ass.
I have no tattoos.
None.
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 80ies numbers. Say it again.
We start from Aztec to single digit numbers. Yeah.
You got range, baby. In the biz called the transition.
It's a segway. It is.
I mean, it is what it is. I think it'll be kind of cool.
I know Tom Brady was mad about it just be for like the defensive guys will say the numbers on some defensive players is kind of odd. When a safety is wearing a linebacker's number, just something weird like that.
I think the game will evolve. Get used to it.
If you were to change your number, if there was any number, let's pretend the rule book did not exist, what number would you want to wear? 11. 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. No, you wouldn't be able to shed as many guys.
Remember LeVar Arrington? Wasn't he number 11? Yeah, there was a couple college guys. Was he number 11 or I messed that up? He was 56 in the NFL.
I don't know. No, no.
At Penn State. At Penn State, he was 11.
Yes. At Penn State, he was 11.
He was unbelievable. With that neck roll, number, 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. Dude, you would look unbelievable.
I would be number four. That was my high school number.
That's where it all started. Number four.
Big neck roll. Big neck roll.
Gigantic face mask. Number four.
Going to get back to the Greggs in a second before we do.
We're going to get right back to the show.

All right.
Back to part of my take. Now more Greggs.
Hey, speaking of where it all started, Greg, are you ready to do a documentary on the 7th Floor Crew? It's funny you say that. Yeah, well, I know.
You know that I know. It's funny you say that.
There may be a time that we can uh dive into so here's my take on that whole thing yes I'm not really I haven't really talked much about it but that story obviously got a lot of publicity at the both at the time and then after I had gotten drafted it kind of got kicked up again after the draft and then it got kicked up again when they did the 30 for 30 with the U. And my whole thing is no one's ever told like what's really happened.
Like how did it come to be? 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. 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. 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.
Cause I think that's the part of the story that people would be really interested in and know that like the guys who were involved are like normal guys for the most part. But no one's ever told that side.
They've told the glamour party pregame, playing it in bars, that side. Yes.
Have you considered doing a sequel to it? No, no. I have a daughter now, and I pray to God she never learns how to use Google.
I don't think that's going to happen. When you're on the road, like when you're at TEU coming up this week, do you make a request like, hey, just don't put me on the seventh floor in the hotel? No, but I'll be honest with you.
The handfuls, just by sheer probabilities, you get that. You get your room key at a hotel, and you hit the button and like in your mind, you kind of chuckle.
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, you know, it's kind of funny.
Do you feel like you don't, you don't get enough respect for your ability as a rapper? Like your flow was kind of, it was kind of overshadowed by the content of the rap. It was.
And that's my one regret, is I wish the content would have been better, that it could have been appreciated more. It was bad.
Looking back, not a great decision in the moment, but you would be shocked. So the last few years of playing, being the oldest guy on the team for the last couple years, wherever 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.
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.
Like I went, like I've done some other shit, you know, but they all other shit you know but they all remember you know they all remember pre they're like we
used to pregame to that in my college dorm before we would go out at night and i'm like i know did any of like the rookies ever come up to you and be like hey greg like is are your lyrics true yes
is that true
um
all right Are your lyrics true? Yes. Yes.
Is that true? All right, we'll flip it back to you, George. So, wait, is there a charity aspect of the Titan U? There is.
I'm glad you asked. Yeah, because it just, like, dawned on me.
Yeah, George, you just invited a bunch of dudes to come and drink at your house in Nashville. Well, no, kind of.
But that's why we got involved with sponsors so we can pay for guys to stay here, take care of them. We also raised a ton of money to get to local charities in Nashville, which has been really fun.
We've been able to work with Levi's. Bud Light's been huge for us.
They're giving us free Bud Light for all the events. Tell them what you're doing after.
We'll bleep out that, by the way. We're a Coors podcast now.
Mountains of Blue. Thank you very much.
Bud Light, Seltzer, all that good stuff. We have Bridgestones coming in to bring the Boys and Girls Club in, and we're going to just go through some drills.
Body armor. Yeah.
Body armor. Love that.
You can say that. We're body armor guys.
Yep, you can say that. So they were the first sponsors.
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, we've got to bring in 50 guys, put them up in a hotel, feed them, transportation.
Me and George and Kelsey are nice guys, and we've made a good coin. But that shit's expensive.
You start bringing in guys 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 and and they've been awesome and you know outfitting guys with you know the drinks and the gear and the equipment and you know all those and then the point that that the way the whole thing came together, it was super cool is after we pay for all the expenses, thanks for partners like them, all the remaining money, we've 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, you know, Body Armor, sorry, Body Armor, Levi's and Bridgestone, like all those groups coming together to understand like what we're trying to build here.
A lot of other people are going to benefit as a result. Yeah, that's sick.
And the kid aspect of like kids coming out and maybe this will 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 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 picture and say hey I met you at the Gatorade 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 kinds 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. And then last year, me and him were teammates, you know, so like those kinds of stories are awesome.
Both are people that, you know, and also just people that along the way you kind of rub shoulders with. But, you know, George being so tight in down in Nashville and having great connections with them, we're going to have 50, 50 or 75 or so kids come out on on 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. and we're going to take 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 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 so it's going to be super cool so how does that work when you're going to be kind of teaching some of your competitors like uh i know for for you, George, like, you're going to be playing against these guys this year.
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. So you might be out there again next year.
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. Oh, 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.
I mean, like a big part of that tight ends have been making under $10 million for ever. And like, we just kind of broke through that.
We're still, like Greg said, like we're still getting paid less than a lot of other positions. And 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 thing. So you might as well pay the tight ends.
And, you know, I just kind of want that number to keep going up. But like I said, when tight ends come together, you can learn.
And, you know, I mean, what's more important than Kyle Pitts is like,
like I said, he's going to be really good.
But the NFL is faster than college.
And if he can sit in a room for two days and learn from guys like Greg Olson,
me, Travis Kelsey, Mercedes Lewis, Luke Stocker,
like you got vets in there and you can learn a thing or two.
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 are you gonna teach a class george where it's like this is just how you be a beast and throw people off of you and they're just playing that clip of the saints the saints clip where you just had like four saints on you in the dome and you're just tossing them everywhere i i'm'm going to talk about yak, you know, yards after catch. And I'm also going to talk about a rum, run blocking and pass pro.
Those are my three topics. Okay.
What about, do you do like a breakdown where it's just block day is one specific day of the week. 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. That's, I mean, like I said, that that that's my i got a 30 minute session on friday it's all dedicated to run blocking and pass bro i'm gonna throw this out there 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 your star and maybe get you a couple dollars more i mean i'm in for that okay yeah it'll just be called how to get on part of my take and hopefully that will help raise your star and maybe get you a couple dollars more.
I'm in for that. 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.
And then just say something super like something that we can put on a headline and we're good to go. Wear a part of my take shirt on Hard Knocks.
Is Luke Wilson going to be there? I invited him. the actor no no luke wilson with two l's yeah okay good yeah i was his team we played together last year in seattle i invited him and he's i think he's like locked i think he's like locked in canada right yeah borders and shit is shut down that's true damn it 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
Put you through camp
And we'll see if you guys can do it
No, no, I wanted to show up and do like a 30 minute zoom
And get paid to go to Nashville
I didn't want to do, or PowerPoint
We can do that
I didn't want to do any athletic stuff
Maybe I'll, you know, one of the kids
We can point out to one of the kids and be like
Alright, you're a one of the kids, 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 going to be nice to you, you know.
We forgot to talk about Charmin is also one of our sponsors,
and they're sending down two life-size bears. Really? Yes, and they're going to throw toilet paper at people.
Oh, my God. Okay, that's good.
That's good. Yeah.
Dude, we're killing it. We're killing it.
Tight end you is going to be an annual tradition. Did you guys invite Blake Bortles? Blake of the year? He's got good hands.
Yeah, he i mean people say that he would be an awesome tight end including himself he does have good hands okay all right i did not think about that all right let's finish with this uh greg i do actually want to talk to you about this because uh it was a story that a lot of people you know saw online it was very emotional your son tj just got a heart transplant um i basically every time the videos came up i had to like i had to not watch it because it made me so emotional obviously been crazy time last few months you know for your family how is he doing and um what has is a terrible question but like what has it been like? I can't even imagine. Yeah.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you. you know, you die.
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.
And he lived with what they call a single ventricle. He had one chamber of his heart and he lived his life like that.
And he was doing really well, 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 a 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.
So he was eight years old. He's still eight years old.
Um, 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.
And a big reason we share those videos and fortunate to be able to talk about it you know on a platform like this is because there's so many people out there who have these stories right and they're sitting in their hospital room and they're by themselves and they're alone and they they feel like they're the only one in the world doing this. And we just want to shine a little light that like, you don't only have to share your great moments, right? 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 all of us have lives that at times suck, right? Like shit happens. And this was one of them.
So we, we hunkered down, not knowing, 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. We were notified, um, that he would, that 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 uh he came home on Wednesday and he's been home he's been home now for the weekend and I I mean we could go we could have a two-hour talk on just what that process entails but it's uh it's remarkable what what he's been through and what these doctors can do.
I mean, we could have a two-hour talk on just what that process entails, but 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, 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.
That's unreal.
I mean, it's wild. Yeah, and it's unreal It's wild Anyone who's got kids Like I said I tried to watch the video I think you don't really understand it Until you have a kid of your own You do anything Literally anything To go through that I'm just so happy he's good Is he what's like is he gonna live a somewhat normal life now with with his new heart they said his 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 so like there's no like going out and about 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, um, it's about a year process until he can
like venture back out into school settings and big groups and, you know, act reallocate himself,
acclimate himself back out into life. But, um, you know, the, 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. Right now, hearts last, like, give or take 20 years.
So when you're eight, it takes you to 28, as the medicine stands today. And you've got to do it again.
So that's where things get a little dicey, but you know, every year, 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. So we try not to think of that.
We have to do this again in 20 years. We hope that it's 50 years there whatever it is and um we just are thankful for every day that he's home yeah like the little just he's home right we have him and we're gonna love it every day that we have him and you know the hardest i'll tell you i'll be honest with you guys the hardest part the hardest part to rationalize is like the mix the dual motions of getting the call that your son's life is going to be saved.
Because without this heart, he's not going to be able to live. He was on medicine.
That was the only reason his heart pumped. Hooked up, he would wear a backpack.
And it was all around the clock. And that was what would let his failing heart work.
right 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 they have to die like in certain ways to make their organs ability to be donated and yeah it's just a really really hard hard right you know at the moment you're having a sense of relief that your day has here at that very moment in time, someone else somewhere in the country is having like their worst day ever. So it's so hard.
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. and it's not's not you know i think there used to be a time when everyone's like well they're gonna harvest my organs no that's not how it works 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 it's the best man it's unreal 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 so seven families you know you start talking you know eyes and or you know liver and pancreas and kidneys and heart and lungs you know seven lives so six other families like us have their, you know, hypothetically, hopefully everything went well, have their
son. you know, seven lives.
So six other families like us have their, you know, hypothetically, hopefully everything went well, have their son, daughter, husband, whatever, because of one person. 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.
Like you said, for seven different families. That's incredible.
How is he doing? Like mentally, are his spirits up? I imagine that for an eight-year-old, this has got to be an extremely scary thing. Scary doesn't even really begin to describe it.
But how has he handled this? And are his spirits good? His spirits are awesome. I wish I could show you guys.
My wife sent me a picture. 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 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.
And she sent me a video of him jogging down our like back to our house. You know, it's just, it's mind blowing with 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.
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 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
that's you know make they see him say that right is tough the day before he's playing air hockey
right and they right it's he said but you know but you don't you know 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
I think... he said but you know but you know 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 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 uh for everything that he's been through he's doing awesome it is true kids are so fucking resilient i mean i would sprain my ankle and i'd hand hand someone my license and be like, go ahead, he's doing awesome.
It is true. Kids are so fucking resilient.
I mean, I would sprain my ankle and I'd hand someone my license and be like, go ahead.
I'm an organ donor.
Take it off.
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.
George, 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 uh no i took him to miami and i put him on i put him on a beach and he swam in the ocean all day for eight hours while you got your tattoo no he came with me to the tattoo and he just sat there the whole time he was doing the tight and new agenda getting the schedule set out like. Like shout out my dad for being like, he's the G, him and our marketing guys have gotten the whole thing done.
But yeah, Rubicon town. They should get a shout out.
Yeah. Shout out Coors Light.
Peter Raskin, Peter Kaskin. That's our guy.
But I just put him on cookie chip. For the last three days.
Okay. Awesome.
All right. So that's good, son.
Now, he should 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.
Dude, a lot, like, for each individual person,
it's their own.
Yes.
It has to happen.
Yes.
If I don't get one, I'm not doing it next year.
Yeah.
Be like, listen, I've only known you for three days,
but I love you like a son, and I really want to see you do the whole thing. Remember that time on Tuesday when we first met? I felt the connection.
I felt the connection. Yeah.
Are you 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 T-Ball Trophy
awards would be funny for a bunch of
professional tight ends. Oh, no, here's
what you do. You give everybody a participation
trophy, and you see who throws them
away. And the people that don't throw them away,
they actually lose the camp.
They get cut. Yes.
Wow.
That's actually...
I hope you can edit that out of this so we don't spoil the surprise because I think we should actually do that. And, Greg, are we going to be seeing you on TV this year? You are.
I'm going to be calling George's games. I'm going to be giving him so much love it's going to be crazy.
I love it. I love it.
I'm going to be calling games with Fox, and I'm not going to be coming out of retirement of retirement i'm completely and utterly done i've set a record for how many times i've broken and ruptured my feet so i'm i'm full-time dad and part-time broadcaster okay be nice to the bears because i know you're going to get some bears games no i like the bears i i once that regime left yeah like i i i'll be honest, when left like i wanted them to lose every game obviously but then like once they all moved on and they went to like the trustman and all these guys i actually thought the bears i'm not gonna lie i was pissed at the bears you want to hear a bear story yeah yeah we'll finish with this last we'll finish with this last story so last year i got cut i was going into free agency after the Superbowl, after the Panthers cut me and was talking to a bunch of different teams, trying to figure out, you know, what the opportunities were and you know, whatnot. And I talked to Matt Nagy called me with the GM and we talked for like 45 minutes on the phone.
And, you know, they're asking me questions about routes and what kind of systems have you played in?
Would you be comfortable with code words versus digits?
What did you do on your backside routes?
What was your leverage reads?
How did, you know, 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.
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. So I got myself all excited.
They never – long story short, they were like, we don't have enough money. We don't have this.
So I go and sign in Seattle. Day one of fucking free agency, they signed Jimmy Grimm.
Yeah. What the fuck?
Well, they also – They paid him more than I wanted.
They also, like – I think Ryan Pace was just –
there was a time there where the Bears had like 11 tight ends,
so if there was any tight end, he was like, I just want to talk to him.
Like, I just want to get on the phone with this guy.
So I literally said to my wife, and again, I love Jimmy.
Don't get me wrong. It has nothing to do with Jimmy.
I i was like when i was when they signed jimmy i was like those guys it was like they used me 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 my wife not surprised not surprised um all right anyway everyone uh thank you or greg and george thank you. Tight End U 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.
We'll be there next year, guaranteed. And thank you, guys.

Okay, what do you got, Jake? First game-ending triple play since the Phillies turned one against the Mets on August 23, 2009. This was the 27th game-ending triple play.
So it was far from correct. Not even close.
I'm only seeing nine, Jake. Nine game-ending triple plays.
Wow. There's one Chris Sabo, Rex Bex King, Chris Sabo, 91.
Yeah, I see 27 via Sarah Langs. Is it my princess a bit? All right.
Keep going. I want you to keep going, PFT.
Well, there was one back in 1978, Ron Say. He was batting Ken Forch as a pitcher.
It was the Dodgers and the Astros. Back when the Astros were in the National League at that point.
Then before that, you got the Kansas City Royals and the Baltimore Orioles. Oh, Tippi Martinez was on the bump.
Going up against John Waithe in 1977. They were down 7-5.
Walk-off triple play there. Then we got Phil Gagliano with the St.
Paul's boys at the Cincinnati Reds.
Don Notbart was the pitcher.
Oh, and then you got to take it way back to 1966.
Guess who was pitching in that one, Big Cat?
Sandy Koufax.
Oil Cam Boyd.
Nope.
A little pitcher known by Tommy John.
Yeah, Tommy John was twirling a gym. Recurring Gus? Oh, not Rec guest.
Tommy John, recurring guest? Talk to James Andrews. Yeah.
Yeah. Who fixed Kyle Schwarber's knee? Full circle.
Shut up. All right.
Monday reading. Yeah, so this is a little different.
Not really a funny Monday reading. A little bit sadder, but we do talk about our lives on our show.
This is going on with me. So this was a text that i sent to pft and big cat earlier it said i'm talking to dave today ria already texted him and told 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 etc and that we're cool moving on to separate apartments and moving on for now obviously super sad but probably better long term it's tough so yeah so you and ria are we're broken up broken up yes going on for like i mean we've been kind of separated for like a month happened over covid we just kind of i don't know just lost lost the fire a little bit kind of situation where we became roommates and not really like 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 and we just you know figured it was better for both of us if we just kind of moved on well spin zone you're getting hot you're getting six pack single hank this summer singies for the summer 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 uh number one how much blame should we give jake zero blame okay all right well i mean this is you know people it was already we had already it already happened before that even happened okay um question number two who should we be mean to you or aria 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 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 barcelain boston on the dixie tour like the first year of part of my take like i know what'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 has just never really been out there 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 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 so very mature yeah i mean 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 dramatic ending or anything like that.
So 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.
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 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 no no no i think well normie here was here was well norman so norman people probably went in that norman it was always her dog that never a question. It's just like a sad, it's a sad part of a much sadder situation.
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.
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.
I know the situation will come up where you want to to make a joke and I would appreciate it if you didn't. The only joke I want to make is I want to make Jake feel uncomfortable.
Is that okay? No. I mean I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable.
I can't make Jake feel uncomfortable? I mean it's not Jake's fault. I feel bad.
He's going to feel terrible as it is. He's just too alpha? The only thing that that would feel really bad.
Can I make him feel a little uncomfortable? Hank is my podcast brother. I want him to be happy.
Oh, my God. You hear that? Are you the older brother, Jake? What? Okay, that's it.
That was good. That's all I wanted.
That was enough. That was enough uncomfortable, Jake.
I'll just ask this one time. Did you teach her how to put the ice cube on I told her about it I never really went through the process but yeah no Hank we obviously uh have your back everyone I think the AWLs will actually surprise you here in uh being like hey you know he said his piece let's all just chill out with it but yeah that's adults adult things happen and uh we we like R.
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.
And a great way to maybe get through some of the lonelier times might be to get a companion, some sort of cat, make great roommates. Or a roommate? No, no roommates, no cats for now.
What about roommates with dogs? Nope, definitely not. Definitely not.
You living with Billy would actually be the meanest thing of all time. Yeah, Philly's dreams would come true within probably a week.
He killed himself. Why? Because he broke up with his girlfriend? No, because he had to live with Billy.
But yeah, I mean, it is sad. I obviously love Rhea still, though.
We're cool. It's not, you know, it's nothing too dramatic.
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 time coming, kind of, and it's just probably better for both of us this way. 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 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 i sprinted to the studio from my desk yeah because we don't get the we don't send those text messages to each other no i mean yeah we don't that's what it's more like i know i know we don, we did talk about it.
It was kind of a recurring thing over the years. 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. I thought you were quitting to go to Spotify to do the Caller Daddy podcast.
I wish. 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 serious or not.
Give you the same scare. No, I had the scare when he texted us.
All right. Billy, you got to follow that.
Billy, there was actually great feedback from Billy's recap on Friday. No, I'm serious.
No pressure. No pressure.
I got to follow it up. Being positive.
We're Positive Vibes Only podcast. This has been a pretty heavy show, if you think about it.
Oh, with Greg Olsen. Yeah, well, with Greg Olsen.
But that's the thing where it's like it has been sad and then it's like you hear stories like that and you're instantly like, all right, life is not that bad. Right.
This could be worse. Everything's going to be all right.
Everybody gas up, Hank. Right.
Gas up our boy. Yeah.
Gas up our boy. Your beard looks amazing today.
Thank you, Billy. I appreciate it.
You look taller. I'm going to find something.
Give me a second. Give me a second.
You pronounced every word. You look taller.
Did you get taller? I'm going to find something.
Give me a second.
Give me a second.
You pronounced every word.
You actually did better with pronunciation today than Jake did.
It's a fact.
Hank, I've always been jealous of how you're able to handle your weed.
Thank you.
That's taken a long time for me to get to that point.
Yeah, no, I have.
I've been like, that guy, he can blaze.
If he didn't. You can do it.
I blaze and I just fucking lose my mind. It's the ADD.
If he didn't respond to my email, I wouldn't have this job. That's about you, Jake.
Sure, yeah. No, I'm thanking him.
I'm just kidding. All right, I'm done.
I'm done making Jake uncomfortable. That was a mistake.
Thanks for pointing out my mistakes. So him responding to that email started everything, the wheels in motion.
The Chinese food order tonight was fire. It was really good.
One of my best. Thank you.
He made it. Can you make that clip for me? I just love having Billy back.
He really is like the bro. Chinese food order was fire.
Come on. I know.
I love it. You're really good at balanced sports, too.
I love having you back. You haven't crashed in like a year? No, he crashed a couple weeks ago.
What did you call it? Balanced sports. You're good at balancing on things.
Tony Hawk is one of the best balanced supporters of all time. He is.
I'm a foot-based sports guy myself. Hank actually has really pretty eyes.
Hank works his ass off too.
But have you ever looked in Hank's eyes?
Oh, you know what? This is actually a good time. Let's do this right now
real quick. This is also a serious
thing. 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. And Hank and Liam are going to take the week off vacation-wise.
No jokes. This is not a joking thing.
My sister's getting married. Well, also, everyone needs some time to...
Shout out to Maddie and Drew. Yep, everyone needs...
Max B. Everyone needs some time to take off.
So they're going to take it. We're going to have two other guys, Youngstown Bob and Jake are going to, not our Jake, another Jake are going to come in.
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.
When we finish the podcast every night, they're still here for fucking four hours later. So they deserve some time off.
So there'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 leave.
Right.
So we have to remind ourselves that it's a lot more that goes into it.
All right.
Billy, let's do it.
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. Okay.
Think about it. I like that.
Kittle got Hawkinson to do it, so I think that's going to spread. Okay.
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. I can't do a man bun.
Gareth Bale has the worst man. Did you see his man bun today? I want to cut his head off, his entire face every time I see that.
Yeah. I think it's one or the other.
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, what's his deal? Artistic? He could do something to me. Trevor Lawrence's brother could pull off a man bun.
There's no in-between. If I had a man bun, it would be the worst man bun of all time.
Why'd you laugh at that so much?
Because it's insane how accurate it is. It would be terrible.
They should do more pool games in the Olympics.
Have Olympic sharks and minnows and Marco Polo.
Okay.
Marco Polo would be sick.
Real water sports.
Yep.
Yeah, that's pretty much it.
That's it?
Perfect.
Okay.
Velostrapers are the size of a chicken. Billy has graded himself a perfect.
57. All right.
69. 18.
8. 6.
Velociraptors are the size of a chicken. Is that true? Fraud dinosaurs.
Frauds. 64.
No, that's 64. Is that a new one 64 one time one time what date I like I'm kind of low key in a weird way obsessed with the lottery statistics December 1st 2020 wow December 1st 2020 what day of the week was that what What NFL week was that? That was probably week 12.
Somewhere around there. Maybe, yeah, week 12 or 13.
Derek Henry probably had 200 yards that day. December.
I think it was week 15. What? December.
Sorry, that was December. It was a Tuesday.
Jake. It was December 12th.
Or Or no. Wow, Jake.
Week 12.
Is this
true? I love you guys.
I'm worried about
Jake. The biggest thing we got out of
this spot.
I don't know what I'm to say.
I'm sage anyway.
Today's a hot day to find
you.
