Let's just have a good Friday, boys. Let's just have a good fry, a little Fryer energy.
For the boys. Put that on a shirt.

Speaker 1 fryer energy hey PFT real quick question though before we jump into some things

Speaker 1 That hat is sick.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so is yours.

Speaker 1 Oh no cap. Yeah, no cap, but the caps are sick.
We put up some new hats.

Speaker 2 They're fucking awesome caps here.

Speaker 1 So let's talk some Let's talk some sports. Where do we want to start?

Speaker 2 Let's start in the fact that every Thursday for the past month I've woken up thinking that it's the day of the NFL draft.

Speaker 2 And it's not. It's not.
I think NFL PR guy, who by the way has maybe the best Twitter handle out there. I don't even know if he's a real person.
It's just at NFL PR guy.

Speaker 2 He tells you exactly what he is from the get-go. I think like two weeks ago, he said that tonight is draft night.
And it's like, no, you still have three more weeks left.

Speaker 1 I'm going to give credit, though, to the NFL draft analysts and talking heads because you would say to yourself, well, we've picked these guys apart so much and we've talked about them so much, but I think whoever is running the big narrative machine in the sky has done a pretty good job of spacing it out in the fact that Justin Fields' epilepsy was not something I thought we'd get to, but we had enough time to get to it.

Speaker 1 That's true. Yeah, no, good job.

Speaker 2 If the draft wasn't pushed back this far, we might never have found out about it.

Speaker 1 Right, they saved it. They were like, hey, the week before, let's drop the epilepsy.

Speaker 2 We're going to stash that one away because people are going to be starved for some news. But it is weird seeing Mac Jones climbing, Mac Jones falling, McCorkle back,

Speaker 2 Trey Lance out, Trey Lance in.

Speaker 2 I think that there's going to be, after Mac goes, I think that it's just going to be like two quarterbacks immediately after him. Yes.
And then

Speaker 2 Sam Ellinger might as well, he might creep into the first round, too.

Speaker 1 Right. It's like playing fantasy football 10 years ago when you would take Carson Palmer in like the second round because all the other good quarterbacks went right away.

Speaker 1 And you're like, shit, shit, shit. All right, Carson Palmer.

Speaker 2 Also, big shout-out to Nick Siriani. He's a coach of the Eagles.

Speaker 1 Yes, if you forgot that.

Speaker 2 I could understand it. He leaked the news himself.
He put the news out there that he was evaluating draft prospects by asking them to play rock, paper, scissors against him. Much like our sweet Hank.

Speaker 2 He probably stole the idea from Hank. He probably saw stool streams and took it.
Jenga next. So I think I would have liked this story if someone else had reported it.

Speaker 2 Like if a prospect had said to somebody, well, the Eagles coach said that he wanted to play rock, paper, scissors to see how competitive I was.

Speaker 2 But the fact that he put it out there, he's like, look at this cool, smart, awesome football guy thing that I did.

Speaker 1 He's trying to get us to be like, hey, football guy of the week, Nick Siriani, he deserves to be there. Well, we're too smart for that.

Speaker 1 We're more focused on the Portland State basketball coach who drives around in a car with no air conditioning.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Dan Campbell would not put... I guarantee you, Dan Campbell has played rock, paper, scissors with somebody that he's evaluating.
Yes.

Speaker 2 But it's just like, which one of these things would you most like me to kill you with?

Speaker 1 Well, no, yeah, Dan Campbell plays it with actually a rock. a paper and a scissors.

Speaker 2 Yes, and rock always wins.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you just throw rocks at each other. This is a rock throwing.

Speaker 2 In Dan's mind, it's like, how the fuck could paper beat a rock? I'll demonstrate right now how a rock beats paper and he just throws it at you.

Speaker 1 It's the scene in Braveheart when the big guy throws a huge boulder and then the little guy just throws a fucking rock right at his head. Yes.

Speaker 1 That's that's Dan Campbell figuring out your competitiveness.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but the fact that Nick Siriani himself put it out there, it's like, okay,

Speaker 2 I'm officially skeptical of Nick Siriani at this point.

Speaker 1 Yes, I'd agree. Can we put the Portland State coaches sound bite in there? Because that was.
I was just about to bring this guy out.

Speaker 1 It's it see, this is what it really does work with Nick Siriani because Nick Siriani wants to be this guy. Even though this guy reported himself, you could tell.

Speaker 1 He said, I don't, don't, well, let's play the clip.

Speaker 4 The other thing is, is I'm hungry and passionate.

Speaker 4 I don't eat breakfast in the morning so I can come to work hungry.

Speaker 2 So when I get to lunch, I'm hungry.

Speaker 4 And that's just the kind of person I am. I know my 2003 Chevy Tahoe has got a lot of play this week so far, but like

Speaker 4 it doesn't have AC

Speaker 4 and it doesn't have heat. And the reason I do that is so I can practice my mental toughness during the winter when it's cold, and I can practice my mental toughness during the summer when it's hot.

Speaker 4 That's the type of person I am.

Speaker 1 The, I don't eat breakfast so that I'm always hungry.

Speaker 1 That's, I mean, I believe him. And he's just driving around in a hot ass car,

Speaker 1 dying of thirst, dying of hunger, being like, well.

Speaker 1 People are going to know I'm tough. I'm the coach of Portland State.

Speaker 2 Football guys, and I know he's a basketball coach, but he is a football guy.

Speaker 1 We've had that before.

Speaker 2 The biggest thing with them is they just, they take metaphors literally. Like Amelia Bedelia.
They're like,

Speaker 1 he probably. Shout out to Amelia Bedia.

Speaker 2 Shout out to A.B.

Speaker 2 When they read Animal Farm, they were probably like, that's a fucking crazy story about pigs talking.

Speaker 1 Yeah, why the hell were all the pigs, why did the pigs fucking run that farm?

Speaker 2 But his whole thing is like, I want to be uncomfortable all the time so that I'm never comfortable because when you get comfortable, you get complacent.

Speaker 2 So that's why I won't install heat or air conditioning in my car.

Speaker 1 And the best part about it is it's Portland State. Yeah, I really like it.
Like, if that was his press conference, he was, you know, announced the Lakers head coach.

Speaker 1 I'd be like, damn, whatever he was doing working, and he could be, you know, he's probably climbing the career ladder. But, Jake, do you know this guy? Did he just get hired at Portland State? No,

Speaker 7 he was an assistant and worked his way up the ranks. He's been there for a while now.

Speaker 1 But it's still in Portland State. It's still Portland State.
It seems uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 Yes, it seems very uncomfortable. He's like, I removed the rearview mirrors in my car.
Oh, that's Jimmy Button. Because I can't look back.

Speaker 1 Jimmy Butler actually did that. Wait, that's right.

Speaker 2 Yes, he did. Jay Butt did that.
He did do that.

Speaker 1 Very dangerous.

Speaker 7 There's being gritty and there's just like not being comfortable.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 What were you going to say? I actually was thinking of the other video that went viral this week, the Montana Tech Football Coach. That's an old video.
With all the sayings, but it went reviral.

Speaker 1 Play that one, too. Exactly.
Uh-huh. It's a great one.
That's a great one.

Speaker 8 The key to the win was that the Ordiggers took control early. Kind of like when you get married.
That first day your wife takes control early. And that's what the Ordiggers did.

Speaker 8 Our football team was like the kid that plays second French horn in the school band. We got to play better.
You know, and that's a double-edged sword. You know, know,

Speaker 8 it's kind of like watching your mother-in-law go off a cliff in a Cadillac. You know, you got mixed feelings.
First of all, they got after it hard.

Speaker 8 I'm telling you, they were like a hobo on a ham sandwich. They were going hard all the way.
He's like that black lab on the first day of pheasant hunting season. He was pulling at the chain.

Speaker 8 We're kind of like a woodpecker in a petrified forest. You know, just keep busy and look for opportunities.
I wanted to raise my kids using a depth chart. Can you imagine that? I wanted that.

Speaker 8 Pam Green vetoed that idea. I got got a short memory, just like when I was in the third grade, two of the best years of my life.
I don't like that bottled water. I like that butte water.

Speaker 8 You get eat and drink at the same time. Some aspects look like we're really ready to play.
A couple of other aspects look like we just got off Willie Nelson's tour bus. His attitude's positive.

Speaker 8 He thinks he could take on hell with a squirt gun. It's kind of like that T-bone steak dinner with all the trimmings.
They played a complete game. You know, with Jacksonville, what more can happen?

Speaker 8 Jacksonville is so bad they sentence prisoners to attend the games. Everybody expects you to win.
My wife couldn't go to church with me on Sunday, and everybody said, where is she?

Speaker 8 I said, she doesn't go out with losers. I had a six ACT in 1967.
One time I got an A, and my grandma beat me for cheating.

Speaker 8 And all the calls I made on fourth down, all those years, you know what my favorite fourth down call was? What? Punt. It was the most successful play we had.

Speaker 1 All right. Other things, other thoughts I wrote down.
Mark Davis isn't smart.

Speaker 2 You think it's,

Speaker 1 So we taped earlier on Tuesday, so we missed the Raiders' tweet.

Speaker 1 It was a situation where I think it was a bad tweet, but it also was the internet just loves a pylon. But I love the idea that Mark Davis,

Speaker 1 credit to him for just owning all of it, sort of, but also being like, I'm not very smart. Like, I'm not a smart guy.
I don't really understand this.

Speaker 2 I actually think that every NFL owner should be the only people that tweet from the main account. Yeah.
Every tweet should be, like, there should not be communication staff.

Speaker 2 It should be directly from the brain brain of that owner. Like the Cowboys Twitter account would be incredible.
It would be accidentally retweeting porn stars all the time.

Speaker 1 I would 100% pay for an OnlyFans of Mark Davis. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't want any nudity. I just want him eating a P.F.
Chang's, him saying bad tweets out loud, him just looking like a fucking weirdo. Just all of that.
I would pay to watch Mark Davis.

Speaker 1 Mark Davis could like save a reality television station that struggled. MTV.
Stop playing ridiculousness. Just follow Mark Mark Davis around with camera.

Speaker 2 Mark TV. Yeah.
I like the idea of that a lot. And we don't need nudity, but I wouldn't turn away like a lot of camel toe.
A lot of the white tracksuit that he rocks.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't be shocked if he was a Kendall.

Speaker 1 Just nothing. Nothing.
He might be the unsullied.

Speaker 1 There's just nothing.

Speaker 1 He doesn't even pee or poop.

Speaker 2 So there's going to be because his body's so efficient.

Speaker 2 He just uses all the energy that it's.

Speaker 1 Speaking of Mark Davis taking his white jeans, his skin-tight white jeans off, and it's just Kendall.

Speaker 2 You're probably not far off.

Speaker 2 I don't like to think about his generals, but I do like

Speaker 2 the tight track suit that he wears. It's very funny because he's oblivious to everything.
He just walks around totally oblivious.

Speaker 2 I think that every professional sports owner should, one, take a quiz before they buy the team to make sure that they're a fan of the team. We learned that this week from the Super League.

Speaker 2 You have to be a fan first, and then second, you have to run the Twitter account by yourself all the time.

Speaker 2 And we are coming up on an Event Horizon issue with the Raiders because Mark's mom is probably not going to stick around for that long. She's getting older.

Speaker 1 She's leaving? She's getting older.

Speaker 2 She's getting older. Okay.

Speaker 2 And then when Mark gets the team, he's not going to have the money to pay the inheritance tax on it. Correct.
And so he'll have to sell that team. Inheritance, yeah.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's been around for a while, but also Biden. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I think that we should maybe consider putting together GoFundMe

Speaker 2 for Mark Davis so that he can purchase the team out.

Speaker 1 Keep going to P.F. Chang's.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, we need Mark Davis to stick around the NFL.
And that, he would get offered so much money for the Raiders. It would be insane.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So we got to figure out a way to keep Mark Davis hanging out.

Speaker 1 Oh, imagine if someone bought it. Do you think the person who bought it would be so callous that they would put out the Eternal Flame?

Speaker 2 I was about to say they might turn him into the quasimodo of the team where his job is just to... take care of the flame.

Speaker 1 To tend to the flame to tend the flame to the bottom. Live in the flame tower.
Yes.

Speaker 1 He's probably immune to it yeah it's his own flesh and blood in there yeah he's got some shejuan beef that he's just grilling on the flame of his father yeah he's got kebabs going all the time i i whatever it takes to keep mark davis involved with the raiders i'm on board i agree um the other story i want to address back to the draft uh i think you need to start uh stumping for davante smith because people are going after his height and he's six feet he's but they're more more going after his weight but also his height they're they're skin shape they're both they're both they're going after both they're saying he's not able to play at the big boy level.

Speaker 1 Yeah, which is crazy. Because I think that guy is going to be able to play at the big boy level.

Speaker 2 I think he will, too.

Speaker 2 I am a fan of Devontae Smith. I'm more of a fan.
I'm a Kyle Pitts guy in the first round. I think Kyle Pitts is incredible.
Kyle Pitts is incredible.

Speaker 2 I don't know if I can let him into the Short Kings Club. Six feet, yeah.
Six feet is like, that's.

Speaker 1 I can't. But hold on.

Speaker 2 He gets matched with any girl he wants on tender because he's six feet tall.

Speaker 1 But here's the problem. This is like a very important moment in height shaming where if six feet becomes the new height that you can shame,

Speaker 1 everyone under is very fucked. So you need to like defend the wall.

Speaker 2 Yeah, although if it creeps,

Speaker 2 there are a lot of people who are exactly six feet that I would like to see taken down a peg. Yep.
Because they reach the level of six feet and they're like, mom, I've made it. I'm a man now.

Speaker 2 Then they hold that over your tiny little head. You're 5'11.10.

Speaker 1 Satisfying make like $50,000 more a year.

Speaker 2 Exactly, because you're six feet instead of 5'11. So I'd like to see those guys just brought down to earth.

Speaker 1 I just love

Speaker 1 the picking apart of every prospect. It is the draft

Speaker 1 should have happened two weeks ago. Yes.

Speaker 2 It should have. 100%.

Speaker 1 There's also, I think,

Speaker 2 maybe the best play in the history of sports happened last night.

Speaker 1 You're talking about home run guy?

Speaker 2 I'm talking about Joel M.

Speaker 1 Biade. Oh.
I'm talking about home run guy.

Speaker 2 The rebound off the foul shot throws the ball, what, like 70 feet with 0.8 seconds left? Yes. And it goes off the backboard, hits off the rim twice, and bricks.
I don't care that it didn't go in.

Speaker 2 I think that is the best shot.

Speaker 1 Participation trophy?

Speaker 2 No, that's the best shot in NBA history.

Speaker 1 Was Gordon Haywards the best shot in college history?

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's one of them. It was.

Speaker 1 And that's from Holmes' touchdown throw that didn't end. That didn't go in.
Yeah, the best throw I've ever seen on a football field. Aaron Rodgers has a bunch of those.
Nah.

Speaker 2 Hank, his nickname isn't trust the results. It's trust the process.
And the process of that shot, I'm not going to base whether or not it was a good shot off if it wasn't.

Speaker 1 It wasn't. It missed.
It was a giant. It was an incredible thing.
It was so awesome watching him play.

Speaker 2 The most incredible thing I've ever seen on basketball court.

Speaker 1 I'll give you this PSD. It was impressive that he got it out of his hands in 0.8 seconds.

Speaker 1 Someone replied with a, whenever you like, take the actual quotes from this show,

Speaker 1 I have a moment every now and then where I'm like, holy fuck, we're stupid. Someone was like, you guys talking about Joel Embiid.
All you said was, he's really big. His hands are big.

Speaker 1 The ball looks small. And when he falls, I think he's going to get injured.

Speaker 1 And that is NBA corner. I mean, part of my take.

Speaker 2 Act like that's not what you think when you watch Joel and B play basketball. Spot the lie.

Speaker 1 It's 100% true. Also, shout out Steph Curry for just completely shitting all over our MVP take on Tuesday with just his worst game of the year.

Speaker 1 I think I still won, but it was

Speaker 1 Jokic is our MVP. I was reminded we're a nuggets podcast.
We forgot. We forgot our true We're a Nuggets podcast.
Here's something, Big. I know your brain is just soaked in gambling logic.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 There should be some.

Speaker 1 I should get some type of, of course, I should get some type of reward or like bonus for picking

Speaker 1 Jokic as my MVP last year. Like there should be some type of carryover.
No. I was on it.

Speaker 2 You're the one complaining about participation trophies?

Speaker 1 No. Because you were early on a tape? No, but it's like, you know, you get a little warranty or like insurance, I guess.
All right, fine. Fair, fair.

Speaker 1 But it's something I've been trying to wrap my brain.

Speaker 2 It's like us to say, congratulations, Hank. You're very smart.

Speaker 1 No, it's just like, you know, Barcelon Sports, look, there's something, there's got to be some next level,

Speaker 1 you know, bet we could offer. What?

Speaker 1 Like MVP insurance or like warranty.

Speaker 2 If Hank predicts an MVP a year before it happens, Hank gets his money back.

Speaker 1 No, like, yeah, like, you know. Do you want to predict any other, like,

Speaker 1 I don't know, the Lakers are going to win another title at some point?

Speaker 1 Ever? No, but. All right.
All right. Fine, fine.
Fine.

Speaker 1 All I was saying. I was saying was I was just throwing it out there.
I was just, I was just testing the waters.

Speaker 2 I wasn't saying it's a conquered title. I'm going to give you.

Speaker 1 I wasn't presenting it. I was just merely asking you

Speaker 1 if it's something we should consider. Okay, I think it's fair to give you.

Speaker 1 I'm going to give you 7% credit. 7% credit feels okay.

Speaker 1 7% credit. All right.

Speaker 1 That's something, yeah. Yeah, no, that feels appropriate to get the MVP a year before he was MVP 7% credit.

Speaker 2 I think that Arch Manning will be a great quarterback one day. Trevor Lawrence credit me when that happens.

Speaker 1 Trevor Lawrence will go to the playoffs.

Speaker 2 Ah, his hair is too long.

Speaker 1 Yeah, his hair is too long. I actually have a square.
Right, but if you bet him to go to the playoffs, I went the next year.

Speaker 1 I've got to take about Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 2 I've been squatting on a little bit. I think that his artistic brother is doing all his interviews for him.

Speaker 1 He's the fucking

Speaker 2 brother? His artistic brother.

Speaker 1 Yes. His brother who is an artist.

Speaker 2 He's on the artist spectrum. Yes.

Speaker 1 He's a guitarist?

Speaker 1 Probably. Painter? Painter, guitarist.
Paints with his maker. Uh-huh.
Williamsburg hat maker. That kind of guy.

Speaker 2 He's a sustainable line of pants.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Does he also have long hair, I'm assuming?

Speaker 1 Yeah, he does. They look.

Speaker 1 It's very actually interesting. I would like to see how

Speaker 1 their lives diverge so much. You don't really see...
Right.

Speaker 1 You usually see if a brother goes, if a guy goes to the NFL and his brother, you're like, oh, yeah, he was just a really good Division II college basketball or football player.

Speaker 1 Like to see it completely different job and be successful at it, I don't know. I'd like to talk to him.

Speaker 2 I think he smoked marijuana and Trevor didn't.

Speaker 1 And what is it? Red Pill or Blue Pill?

Speaker 2 Yeah, exactly. The road

Speaker 2 The roads diverged at that point. Yeah.
Gateway drug to becoming a hipster.

Speaker 1 I have another take as well.

Speaker 1 I think, so this is going to home run guy who, shout out the GOAT.

Speaker 1 Hank slandered him on Monday's show. He said,

Speaker 1 I will rectify this. I will catch a home run.

Speaker 1 And then he did it. He put his money where his mouth is, and there was no money involved, but he fucking caught a home run right in your face, Hank.
Yeah, sometimes you got to motivate the players.

Speaker 1 I put him on my hot seat. Now he's on the cool throne.

Speaker 2 No, I think what he did is is more impressive than Babe Ruth hitting two home runs, corrupting a shot.

Speaker 1 Easily. Easily.
He's back. Okay,

Speaker 1 he never left. That's your problem.
Well, he did. He fucking fell on his face.
No, he went balls to the wall. And he fell on his face.
You think a guy who jumps for

Speaker 1 a loose ball in basketball, you think like, oh, man, he fell on his face. No, he's fucking grit, determination.

Speaker 2 Hank's why kids don't play defense anymore because they're afraid of getting put on a poster. You're afraid of, oh, oh, wow, he snatched the chain.
Look at that. Hank, guess what?

Speaker 2 Hank, sometimes if you want to be great, you have to fail at a great game.

Speaker 1 If a prime-time player in a prime time moment slipped without anyone touching him, just slipped on the floor and lost the game, people would be like, that person is out of their prime.

Speaker 1 Jameis Winston in the Rose Bowl? Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 Tom Brady didn't catch that ball in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Ah.

Speaker 2 Won two Super Bowls.

Speaker 1 And what did people say?

Speaker 2 What happened afterwards?

Speaker 1 People chirped him, and he fucking took the chirps and won two more Super Bowls. I chirped foul ball guy, and he, what did he do the next night?

Speaker 1 Caught a home run. You're welcome.
Because he's a home run ball guy. Exactly.

Speaker 1 All right, but either way, my take was: I also, the Javi Baez hit a grand slam, and a guy went for the ball and like slid down the tarp. It was awesome.
It was basically, he just went for it.

Speaker 1 It was a fucking full send. I want this ball and just ate shit.

Speaker 1 And then, right before we started taping, there was a guy at the Red Stadium who was holding nachos and went for a home run ball and just spilled the nachos all over himself. I think

Speaker 1 we are in a golden age that we have to appreciate right this second with spaced out seating to just see awesome videos of people eating shit. Because think about it.

Speaker 1 Usually there's fans, so you're not going to go for a ball that's four rows in front of you with not as many fans, not capacity. It's just America's home's funniest videos in the stands every night.

Speaker 2 I like that. You need to appreciate it.

Speaker 2 Keep an eye out for more wipeouts in the stands. And there is like a small voice in the back of your head.

Speaker 2 Any grown adult that goes to a baseball game if you make an athletic enough play on the ball and catch it you think maybe maybe i'll get like a spring training offer yeah maybe they want to see what i've got or just a round of applause yeah a round of applause either way but like when you see that ball it usually you do have those people around you that prevent you from running but they also prevent you from falling down right because they're so close to you right now it's just selling out and but flip side to that you don't get as many people throwing pizza on people's faces like what happened in boston a few years ago that so we just need to just just remember that.

Speaker 1 Remember that you will, like, there will be a day when the fans are back and I'll be excited for it because a full crowd is the best.

Speaker 1 But just cherish what we have right now in that people are eating shit on a nightly basis, trying to get balls with nachos in their hands or jumping down tarps or home run ball, catching a ball, no big deal.

Speaker 1 It's great. I feel like we also got to shout out the Texas Tech.
baseball announcer. That was sick.

Speaker 1 He caught, it was like an absolute screaming foul ball, had his hand in one pocket, just caught it with one hand didn't even flinch such a snag very impressive such a snag it's a pig snag it's a pig that's a pig snaggle what is pig snag it's a pig snag it's a pig snag riffraff dom dust chuck border chuck board chuck board sports

Speaker 1 more sports at seven

Speaker 1 um i i had one other note i can just say and we can move on i think we've forgotten about saquan barkley oh i just haven't heard his name a lot you know what i'm okay with that Because there are too many people who called him Barry Sanders before he even played in the NFL.

Speaker 2 But he was really good as rookie year. He was.

Speaker 1 Well, he was.

Speaker 1 What was his,

Speaker 1 he didn't he?

Speaker 1 What is his yards per rush? I know he's behind a really bad offensive line, so I'm not bashing him.

Speaker 2 But he also had a couple nice long touchdown catches. He has

Speaker 1 a couple nice touchdown catches. I agree.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, he's got yards per rush.

Speaker 7 4.7 yards per catch. Okay, that's a lot better.

Speaker 1 For some reason, I think.

Speaker 2 I'm not trying to make a grand point or anything out of this. I'm just saying that I feel like as a nation, we've forgotten about Saquon.

Speaker 1 If we're doing random things, oh, it was this past year because he only played in two games and he had 19 rushes for 34 yards. That's what I was thinking about.

Speaker 1 But he was also behind the worst offensive line ever. So you're right.
I'm a Saquon guy. I just think that the hype was insane to start.

Speaker 1 I also am ready to start respecting Chris Paul more. That was the only other thing.

Speaker 2 I don't know if I can get on board with him.

Speaker 1 As a basketball player only.

Speaker 2 That's a double cross on Blake Griffin, though.

Speaker 1 As a basketball player only. It's a big double.
Not as a teammate. It's a big double cross.
Not as a teammate.

Speaker 2 Not as a teammate. You know what?

Speaker 1 My favorite piece of goes is that Shepherd, too. What? Don't the two go hand in hand? Not always.

Speaker 2 I don't. I'm not on the Respect Chris Paul bandwidth.

Speaker 1 Well, maybe it's a double cross because

Speaker 1 our friend Blake Griffin had a new shoe out, and I just DM'd him on Instagram. I said size 12, and he said, maybe Brooks Kepka can get it for you.
I go, okay.

Speaker 1 Well, if we're going to play that way, maybe I'm a Chris Paul fan.

Speaker 2 So that's what this is about. Maybe.
It's about you not getting a pair of shoes. Who knows?

Speaker 1 We can be be vindictive. We should start wearing.
Does Chris Paul have a signature shoe? What does it look like?

Speaker 2 I mean, it looks like shit.

Speaker 1 It's so bad. I think it's Jordan, too, though.
Let me see. Chris Paul's signature shoe.

Speaker 1 Jordan brand.

Speaker 2 It's probably a bowling shoe.

Speaker 1 Oh, the Zions actually are sick, by the way. Yeah, I like those.

Speaker 2 I like those. Can't do a shoe.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 I don't know what... Oh, these are terrible.
I'll buy one, though.

Speaker 1 I'm going to start wearing them.

Speaker 1 All right,

Speaker 1 let's get to our interview. We have two great interviews.
We have have Sig Hanson, Captain Sig Hansen from Deadliest Catch, one of the coolest guys we've ever interviewed.

Speaker 1 Just a total fucking badass. And then we are going to have Hornswaggalon, who is fighting in Rough and Rowdy tonight.
So go to buyRNR.com if you want to watch. It's going to be a great, great card.

Speaker 1 Tons of fights. Also, you can play Barstool, play Barstool app, right, Hank? Yep.
Play Barstool app. You can win some money.
You can get something down on the fights. So go check it out.

Speaker 1 It's going to be awesome.

Speaker 2 I have a question about that. Are you going to be singing the National?

Speaker 1 I am. Okay.
Always. Yes.
So get ready. It's going to be a great night.

Speaker 9 Before we get to Captain Sig Hansen, all protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One-made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 9 Only one Reese's peanut butter lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 9 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 9 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 1 Okay, here he is, Captain Sig Hansen.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is Captain Sig Hansen from The Deadliest Catch.
New season is premiering Tuesday, April 20th at 8 p.m. Eastern on the Discovery Channel.

Speaker 1 Everyone knows the show. Everyone has watched the show.
It's a fantastic show. So we're really excited to have you on.
And you just said it right before we started. You're on land right now.

Speaker 1 How long does it take for you to be like, all right, I'm ready to get back on a boat? Or would you rather, are you at the point in your career where you'd prefer to be on land?

Speaker 6 It's weird.

Speaker 6 like when you're on land you're so happy to be back and honestly i don't know what was scarier being out on the boat or being on land with this covet stuff going around but that being said it doesn't take very long i would say i mean as i get older i want to be on the beach more right just because i feel like i earned it but uh it's weird like my wife

Speaker 6 like I would say two to three weeks before we head up, you know, after, you know, like last winter, we had, what was it, three weeks off in December, and then we hit it up at the end of December.

Speaker 6 And like a week or two before, your head's not even at home. Your head's not in the game.
Your head is thinking about fishing.

Speaker 6 It's really strange. Yeah, you just never leave it, you know.

Speaker 2 Do you prefer captain or skipper?

Speaker 6 You know what? The whole captain thing, I mean, usually

Speaker 6 People in Dutch Harbor would say, well, who's running the boat, right? You didn't really hear hear guys being called captain all the time. I think the show kind of brought that on more than anything.

Speaker 6 And so I get, honestly, to this day, when guys see me on the street or something or a resume, oh, hey, Captain, it's flattering, but at the same time, I feel like, you know, it's a title and

Speaker 6 it's odd. It's still odd for me to hear that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's why I like saying skip. Skip is like a little informal.

Speaker 2 You might be a baseball manager. Who knows? It kind of goes both ways.
I've always wondered what skipper actually meant and where that term came from.

Speaker 6 Ooh, that's a good question. You know what? I'm going to find out.
That's a dang good question.

Speaker 2 Great question. Thank you.

Speaker 1 It is. Thank you.
Yeah, it's a great question.

Speaker 6 Hey, as long as I'm not Gilligan, I'll be the skipper.

Speaker 1 There you go.

Speaker 1 So for people who don't watch the show, you should watch the show. It is Alaskan crab fishing, and it is the deadliest catch.

Speaker 6 So they're out in freezing cold temperature on these boats for how long do you guys, what's the longest time you've been out fishing for oh gosh i think the longest appeal season i've done was uh we started january we got finished up in august i think sometime or july august something like that i mean that season ran long uh when i was younger we'd go out

Speaker 6 oh gosh we different seasons we'd be out uh

Speaker 6 eight months, nine months at a whack.

Speaker 1 Holy shit. So wait, you would come back for fuel, though, or is that?

Speaker 6 yeah you'd come back yeah or you or you could sneak off home for a trip or whatever but you know you had like these nine month increments but longest out to sea for a little crab boat like what we're using uh i would say a little over a month which is a long time on a little boat yeah uh

Speaker 6 yeah because you can get fuel at sea and you can deliver at sea you know back then you're delivering out there so different ball game um you know honestly after like

Speaker 6 if you're out there for like uh 12 14 days, you start getting tired of it. You really do because you're sick of everybody else on the boat.

Speaker 6 You want to go in and offload and regroup.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you guys are in tight quarters, too. I mean,

Speaker 1 it's not like you're on a cruise ship and it's, you know, luxury. You guys are in tight quarters.
So there's how many guys are on a boat at a time, like maximum and minimum that you'd go out with?

Speaker 6 Well, like typically we'll go with a five or six man crew. uh you know

Speaker 6 six to seven with the captain uh you know like the wizard keith he's got a much larger boat. They'll go 24 hours, you know, 24-7 typically.

Speaker 6 So they'll probably run, I'm guessing, seven, eight guys, something like that. So you always have a guy in the rack and then you're just rotating, you know.

Speaker 6 So it depends on what ball game you're playing. But back in the day, those boats were built for four-man decks.
So four guys would do the job.

Speaker 6 Four to five guys. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And since the show started, I've been watching ever since it debuted. What was that, like 2004, 2005?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I remember watching that first season, and I was completely enthralled. And at the time, I had a bunch of friends who were like, Man, I want to do that.

Speaker 2 I want to go move up to Alaska and try to be a fisherman just so you can make a shitload of money in a small amount of time and then

Speaker 2 come back and go on vacation for a while. Did you guys see like an uptick in new people that would move up to Alaska that thought that they could be on these boats because of the show?

Speaker 1 Oh, absolutely.

Speaker 6 And I mean, that's great. You know, why not?

Speaker 6 You know, but now that we've got a quota system and

Speaker 6 the industry is rationalized, we went from 220, 40 boats down to, you know, 60, 70 that are participating. So it's harder.

Speaker 6 But I encourage it. I love to hear that.
And I remember

Speaker 6 being in at the airport, you know, in Cole Bay, we're trying to get into Dutch Harbor. A couple of guys, you know, tapped me on my shoulder, like, hey, you know, you're the guy.
Yeah, I'm that guy.

Speaker 6 And then, well, we're going up to Alaska.

Speaker 6 uh going to get us a job i'm thinking guys you're late you know these guys hang on to their jobs jobs and you're preparing you know weeks or months ahead um but they went up there and uh and looking for work uh there was such an influx that there was actually guys uh sleeping in tents on the beach you know looking for work when that show uh first started and uh it was just this phenomenon and it's and i think it's great i love the fact that you know we're showing work ethic and a different lifestyle and that people dig it i love that i i gotta tell you the story we're in seattle in the shipyard You know, that's where we're from.

Speaker 6 And a lot of the boats were built. So this kid comes down there, he's looking for a job.
I said, look, I don't got room. Do this.
And then see what happens. So I get a job at a cannery.

Speaker 6 So he gets a job at one of the seafood canneries. And then I said,

Speaker 6 you got room on board. You'll be in Dutch Harbor.
And then,

Speaker 6 you know, just keep beating the docks. And then eventually you'll find something.
Trust me. So the kid does this.
Like a year later, I'm in the same shipyard.

Speaker 6 and he's in there but now he's on his boat and the guy's in tears and he's like you changed my life i go what do you mean he goes you remember me i said no he's like and he pointed he goes that's the boat that i'm on now and i did exactly what you said to do and i got a new home and this guy i mean he could you know he couldn't get a job anywhere i just felt so good you know, that that one guy had that opportunity and

Speaker 6 he made it. So, you know, it's great.
It's inspiring.

Speaker 1 That's awesome. That's awesome.
Yeah. And you mentioned, you know, work ethic and how tough these guys are.
It's, it's, that's, I think, the most fascinating part of the show, how tough

Speaker 1 all you guys are being out there at sea in, you know, freezing cold temperatures. So we are big football fans.
We do a hurder injured. So like you can play with if you're a little hurt.

Speaker 1 If you're injured, you're injured. You know what I mean? Like it's an actual injury.
So what's the threshold on a boat? Like what are

Speaker 1 things where you're like, hey, listen, you can still do this. You can still, you know, catch crab.
Or what is the injury where you're like, all right, you got to sit out.

Speaker 1 You got to, you got to maybe get off the boat for a while.

Speaker 6 You know, I've had guys where,

Speaker 6 you know, I started yelling at him and I'm like, what's wrong with you, man? You're slowing down.

Speaker 6 You know, this is ridiculous. And then I won't say his name, but he's just, he was one of my heroes.
And he comes up and, you know,

Speaker 6 he takes his reindeer down. He pulls his sweats down, right?

Speaker 6 And I'm looking at him. And I swear to you, it was purple from his hip past his knee was just this giant purple

Speaker 6 scar.

Speaker 6 And he'd been working with it for a couple of days because he'd been hit by one of our crab pots, which are 875 pounds each. Hit him against the rail, pinched him.

Speaker 6 You know, looking at it, you would think, are you out of your mind? Hit the bunk. We got to take you to the beach.
You know, this is bad. He didn't break it, but he damaged it so bad.

Speaker 6 It was just this giant bruce. Anyway,

Speaker 6 we leave it up to them. You know, now,

Speaker 6 because we, there's no HR, you know, and you're out there. And yes, the captain does have the last word.
But at the end of the day, a lot of times it's about your ego and a lot of... peer pressure.

Speaker 6 The crew's going to, they're relying on each other. You only got so many guys.
It's not like you're going to go down the street and hire some dude.

Speaker 6 And so, and if you got to go in, you're losing time and time is money, money right so they'll do it to where i mean they're literally putting themselves at harm's risk and you don't got to be the biggest guy that's not what it's about it's about what you got in your heart in your head that's what makes it you know i've seen the smallest guys be the most tremendous people and the biggest guys fail it just depends on what you got here and right here that's it So as the captain, are you allowed, or the boat runner, whatever way you want to phrase it, are you allowed to arrest somebody on your boat?

Speaker 6 Do you you have that authority oh yeah i had a i know i uh i had a buddy we were fishing out west for for deep water brown crab and uh

Speaker 6 and uh

Speaker 6 this kid was going crazy couldn't handle it for whatever reason and he was threatening and he was sleeping with a knife you know he'd have a knife under his pillow and the guys were just getting freaked out and uh

Speaker 6 He made a remark. I won't say what it was, but then my buddy Kurt, he's like, that's it, you're done.
And they grabbed him.

Speaker 6 They duct taped him threw him back in his bunk locked the door took him to town and that was that it was like you can you know I mean it was for everybody's safety but you just don't know if a guy flips what are you gonna do so yeah there is that law and you are the law and uh you just gotta to and and these goes back for hundreds of years you know what I mean that's just the way it is what's the scariest storm you've been in or what's the closest you've been like all right this is like what's your threshold like i've been through some shit.

Speaker 1 I've seen some shit. I can handle this.
But I'm sure there's been a few times you're like, I'm pretty nervous about all of us right now.

Speaker 6 We had, we had, I mean, I don't know, out of which one, because they're all freaking hairy. That's the problem.

Speaker 6 You know, it's hard to pick one because

Speaker 6 I've seen my life flash before my eyes so many times. But, you know, like.

Speaker 6 Once, one time, a story I've told before is we were icing up and I was young and hungry and greedy.

Speaker 6 We weren't chopping the ice, and so it builds on the boat so tremendously-you know, four or five feet thick all around, and she was literally sinking underneath our feet.

Speaker 6 Uh, wave hit us, we got kind of broadside, she laid there. It took us, I would say, 16 to 18 hours to get the ice enough to where she started to ride herself.

Speaker 1 Holy shit! Oh, yeah, that's a long time.

Speaker 6 We had the boat, yeah, it's bad. We had the boat on the beach one time that was just hairy.

Speaker 6 Uh, we've had her on on the side so far that uh uh we shut power to the engine, in other words, you couldn't get fuel to the engine shut down.

Speaker 1 Um,

Speaker 6 uh, that Black Sunday, I forget how many boats went down, but it just seemed like there was Maydays, Mayday after Mayday, you know, and and people that you knew that that had gone down, just literally miles away from you, you know.

Speaker 6 So, there's, and I,

Speaker 6 you know, looking back,

Speaker 6 you know, like guys dramatize this and I don't know, maybe they build it up in their mind, like, oh, it's such a, you know, thing.

Speaker 6 But when you, at a younger age, it was like, well, that was just part of the deal.

Speaker 6 And it's nuts, but at the same time, we try to be as safe as we can. We just, sometimes you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Speaker 1 Do you ever, and that's just how it is.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 6 In times like that, do you ever think to yourself, like, maybe I'll just go captain a boat off the coast of Florida, like go fishing in the Gulf, like run a a charter and go uh take people out to you know go deep sea fishing catch marlins and 80 degree weather instead of being up here in alaska all the time no i mean we've you know we've got a salmon boat out or a pleasure boat in the puget sound uh i got a ski boat for my kids and all that you know on the lake and all that but i mean uh and we like i like to pleasure fish but at the same time it's an addiction right and so and yeah how many how many like a cat how many lives do i get but uh that being said I think, you know, if you're good at what you do, and we, and the guys that are up there are the best at what they do, I believe the fleet is just top notch and

Speaker 6 bad things happen, but we do take every precaution we can. We really do.
And I think, you know, you're not going to get the same reward doing that when you've done well.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 6 And this is like an addiction thing. This is like your,

Speaker 6 you know, this is your fix. Yeah.

Speaker 6 When you get up there, and if you succeed and and especially when you do well it's like hey man i got my fix i'm good yeah no risk it no biscuit that's what we say what's the uh what's the best type of crab what's the well all right give me this what's the tastiest type of crab and then what's the crab that will get you the most money i mean you know for me i like king crab uh uh and then there's a barred eye or a tanner crab those are sweeter and that's kind of a a species close to the apele or snow crab that we call it so we got a lot more snow crab out there you'll see that in a lot of restaurants.

Speaker 6 But for me, I just like king crab just because it's a lot more meat and it's got that flavor to it, you know?

Speaker 1 Just giant legs. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Is that the type that brings in the most money?

Speaker 6 Yeah. I mean, we get, we, dollar per pound, we get a lot more.
It depends on the quota, right? So the guys typically make more money efficient snow crab or a pilio because you've got a bigger quota.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And then, uh,

Speaker 6 you know, but I mean, if you hit it big on king crab, you know, it's 10 bucks a pound or whatever you're getting. So 100,000-pound load is a million dollars.
That adds up fast. That's pretty good.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I was a,

Speaker 2 yeah, I worked as a bus boy in a crab shack in the Outer Banks for a while. I lived there.
I was a pogue. And we used to serve the king crab legs.

Speaker 2 And every day I would come home and it would probably take me about, I don't know,

Speaker 2 it would be at least two showers to get the smell of crab off my body.

Speaker 6 For you, after you get off a boat after being out there for a couple months, how long does it take you to no longer smell like crab dude i'm a captain right so i'm not smelling anything i'm i'm i smell like coffee and cigarettes that's my problem uh

Speaker 6 as far as the boat itself it gets pretty launchy because you know they're built for for packing pots not comfort so we have very very tight living quarters and it's pretty putrid when you get in there pretty bad um we try to stay clean you know all that there is showers and all that uh

Speaker 6 pretty nasty It gets pretty bad. And for you with all that long hair, it takes you forever to wash it out.

Speaker 1 Come on.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, I was short.

Speaker 2 I looked like Forrest Gump back, and they had a little crew cut. But still, it would get under your fingernails.
You know, like your hands would smell like crab all the time. And I love crab.

Speaker 2 I love eating crab. But at some point, you know, halfway through the summer gig, I was like, you know what?

Speaker 2 I might want to look for a different place just because it did take me, you know, a couple showers to finally

Speaker 2 get that stink off me. And when you make that part of your job, uh you start to resent going to work occasionally you know that's the type of cologne i don't necessarily want to be wearing

Speaker 1 what's yeah i think we just get used to it man it is pretty and they don't have smell-of-vision i think if they had smell of vision we wouldn't have any viewers yeah what's the weirdest thing you've got uh in your pots before that when you pull it up either animal or like trash

Speaker 6 no i mean like we drug up a workout bike believe it or not we uh i don't know somebody must have tossed it then uh hillstrand jonathan hillstrand of the time banned you know they've been on the show forever and a day too and uh and i love these guys they're like family right and uh they pull one of our pots and they put this uh it was like an alligator or crocodile skull in there holy and then my guys are like we got to go smithsonian oh my god we found a saltwater crocodile or something like that right and uh because i do believe they live in freshwater

Speaker 6 and so uh they're just freaking out they thought that they they they hit this historic jackpot Come to find out it was Hillstrand pranking us. So I thought that was pretty clever.

Speaker 1 Oh, that is good.

Speaker 1 Do you ever get like,

Speaker 1 what are the like, do you get, you obviously get fish in there. Have you ever gotten anything else like that you're like, oh, that sucks?

Speaker 6 No, I mean, you know, we're.

Speaker 6 The gear is meant specifically to catch what we're after. So we've got escape mechanisms and, you know, so you're not getting a lot of bycatch, we call it.

Speaker 6 You'll see a little bit different species here and there, but for the most part, it's a real clean fishery, right? That's what we're after.

Speaker 6 And so that's that's why we have a sustainable industry, you know. The more bycatch you catch, the worse you're doing for the environment.
So, you know, it's all about that too nowadays.

Speaker 6 And that's good. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Like, I mean, I've got like a wolf feel, you know, it's like this

Speaker 6 most, it's a terrible looking fish and it's got the little fangs. They call it a wolf feel,

Speaker 6 just scary looking stuff.

Speaker 6 I've gone super deep, you know, for brown crab and there you'll catch a lot of weird stuff, you know, just different kind of species of crab that i didn't even know existed right just weird looking spidery things but uh i couldn't even name it so yeah it's when you go deep you you get into some weird stuff have you ever seen a norwhal

Speaker 1 a what a norwhal

Speaker 6 no norwal no i mean i've seen are you talking about whales and stuff like that yeah the norwal is that it's the whale that has the unicorn horn i'm convinced that it's not a real whale just because those things they're so freaky looking no but it's weird it's like sometimes you're up there and it's, you know, you don't see the beauty, I guess, is what I'm saying, because it's your job.

Speaker 6 But then at times you'll see, I've seen like pods of like killer whales and whales that are just for miles.

Speaker 6 You know, you'll just see, you know, the water coming out of the blowhole and just, it looks like a storm out there. But it's, it's whales.
It's, it's really cool, you know, at times. And

Speaker 6 because you get desensitized to it because you're on your job.

Speaker 2 But then when you, sometimes, you know, you'll get like beautiful sunsets and things of that nature that that you will never see again and you're thinking man this is really something because you're you're in the middle of nowhere you know yeah pretty pretty neat earlier you're talking about about your boat and you kept referring to it as she and her and it's it's very cool to hear that because i think a lot of people forget that all boats are females is there a history behind like why it's always a she or a her because my theory is that it's just a bunch of dudes out at sea they haven't seen a woman in a while so they get they just get so horny that they're going to say that the boat's a girl.

Speaker 6 I know there's an answer to that question.

Speaker 6 Like back in the day, they always had like a female carving

Speaker 6 on the bow, you know? Like you always had the lady, like a mermaid or something up on the bow. They always had a gal up there on the tip of the

Speaker 6 boat. Maybe that's where the she came from, because I know I've been asked that before and I was going to research that, but I think that's where it comes from, you know?

Speaker 6 And for some reason, they did that. They'd always have a lady figure up on the up on the nose.

Speaker 6 Yeah. And if I was saying she,

Speaker 6 I don't know. That's just

Speaker 6 who knows. Maybe, maybe that'll be inappropriate someday.
Maybe I'm supposed to be gender-specific to my boat and say it.

Speaker 1 Whatever the boat chooses

Speaker 6 until they stop me, I'll never do it.

Speaker 6 I gotta plug you guys in, but that's cool.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no worries.

Speaker 1 So I was wondering:

Speaker 1 When you guys are doing the season, how much do the cameras get in the way?

Speaker 6 The cameras are

Speaker 6 in the beginning, they were in the way because we had to learn how to coexist with each other.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 6 But, you know, now it's to the point where everybody understands their job.

Speaker 6 My rule number one when we first started doing it was, you know, fishing first, cameras second.

Speaker 6 And I think that recipe is probably one of the reasons why we've, we've been on so long because, you know, we only get one shot to fish and do this thing.

Speaker 6 And if you're worried about the guy asking you questions and trying to get in your head, you ain't going to get nothing done and you're going to fail. So, you know, our priority is fishing.

Speaker 1 How many cameramen are on the boat at a given time?

Speaker 6 We got two guys. We have a producer in a wheelhouse.
He's on me 24-7.

Speaker 6 And then uh, and then you got a guy on deck, and they work together. And so there's two guys with our crew.
And so it gets pretty tight, you know. Yeah.

Speaker 6 And if you get a guy that you're not getting along with, I mean, it's a disaster, but they're just trying to do their job, you know. Right.

Speaker 2 Has there has there ever been like an instance where things are going sideways, you need an extra set of hands, and you've asked like the camera guy or the producer, hey, man, I know you got a job to do, but this is bigger than the TV show.

Speaker 2 Can you lend a hand trying to, you know, pull this crab pot off a guy?

Speaker 6 Hypothetically,

Speaker 6 if I was to do that because of liability and legal issues, that would be inappropriate, right?

Speaker 6 But hypothetically,

Speaker 6 there may or may not have been cameramen that probably would have participated because of certain circumstances.

Speaker 6 And hypothetically, if they did that, my hat's off to them because I think they're friggin' awesome.

Speaker 1 Yeah. How about that? Gotcha.
Yeah. Wink, wink.

Speaker 6 We should, we should, they should do a behind they should do like a deadliest camera like cameraman show of just the behind the scenes of the cameraman on the deadliest catch those guys are awesome i'll tell you what man it took a while to for us to get into sync and and and and learn each other but uh the guys that they have uh really

Speaker 6 are amazing right because they do put themselves in harm's way as well right and they're getting beat up all the time and so uh you know you you my hat's off to them obviously and uh it's getting smoother you know it took a while but it gets smoother and smoother because they understand what they're getting into and uh and that makes it easier for everybody but yeah they're they're go-getters because well even this last season i i'm assuming they'll show it but you know he was filming shooting at the rail next thing you know he's flying on the stern uh headfirst and the camera's you know middle of the air because you got hit by a wave it happens all the time.

Speaker 6 And it's,

Speaker 6 there's nothing we can do about it, you know. So they have to be on guard just as much as the crew is on guard.
And they have to work together.

Speaker 6 And the first thing I tell the camera guy when he gets on the boat is: look, I know you got your job, but right now you're a part of this team.

Speaker 6 You either start to think like a crew member or get the hell off. That's your choice.
And they learn really quickly that they're a part of our crew.

Speaker 6 If you smell something funny, see something funny, feel something funny, you know, say it. Don't expect us to save your ass.
You're a part of this deal.

Speaker 6 You know, if you smell oil or anything, say something. Be a part of the boat because it could save your life someday.
You know, we have fires, we have floods.

Speaker 6 There's all kinds of things that can happen and you're a part of it. And once they understand that, then it becomes a team.

Speaker 2 effort and that's what that's that's the winning recipe right there yeah i mean the the fate of the boat is going to include them Whatever happens to the team,

Speaker 2 like it or not, you're miles off the coast. So you do have some skin in the game.
And if you get like a greenhorn, a new guy out there who's

Speaker 2 maybe hasn't tried this before, thinks that they're cut out for it, how quickly into the journey do you typically find out whether or not this guy has what it takes to be on a boat and have this job?

Speaker 6 Or like a Greenhorn crew member,

Speaker 6 the guys will feel him out pretty quick. You know,

Speaker 6 you can tell right away at the dock if he's going to make it or not you know it's about their spirit and their heart and their attitude you know if they got the right stuff they're going to make it and uh well quite frankly we had a new guy here this last season never been craftician and uh but he was hungry right and uh

Speaker 6 and he was he was amazing because he had that attitude um you get a greenhorn cameraman watch out you know they all want to be the next spielberg and uh it's like dude you know

Speaker 1 let's just survive. How about that?

Speaker 2 Let's work on making it back to shore.

Speaker 1 All right. So I have one last question.

Speaker 1 So you've had two heart attacks. You've been through many, many seasons fishing.
Is there retiring as a fisherman?

Speaker 1 Like, I feel like you alluded to it, you know, the addiction to fishing and being out there.

Speaker 1 What does that look like in terms of, hey, in 10 years, I'm going to wrap it up or five years?

Speaker 1 I would assume after the second heart attack is usually when people are like, you know what, I'm not going to do this anymore.

Speaker 6 you powered through that so what what does the rest of uh your fishing career look like well i mean for me i'm just glad that i'm here and uh you know i've got my daughter on board so you know captain in training so you know eventually hopefully you know she'll take the reins and then that'll be that uh and that's always been her dream great that being said for me uh i feel like it's my responsibility always has been and so even if i was going to sit it out i think i'd like jonathan you know on the time that

Speaker 6 he could sit it out. I mean, we say we're going to do it.
And then, I don't know, maybe until they drag your ass off the field, you're not going to sit it out.

Speaker 1 It's just one of the things.

Speaker 6 You know,

Speaker 6 yeah, I don't think I'm ready for that.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 I didn't mean to like make you have to face it, but it is just interesting because I think, you know, watching the show, it's such a great show. And you guys are so tough.

Speaker 1 And you're doing something that's so tough. But at the end of the day, I think you all genuinely love it to a level that a lot of people don't love their jobs.

Speaker 6 Oh, absolutely. Without question.
And even like, you know, I've been home, I've missed a trip here and there.

Speaker 6 And then you're always thinking about the boat and the people on it or the weather or what's going on. So it's in your head no matter what.

Speaker 6 You know, but and then, but then again, I mean, I'm still a pretty young guy, but

Speaker 6 I feel like, you know, you're thinking more about your mortality all the time. And

Speaker 6 you're thinking, Jesus, man, like I've had so many close calls. Why risk this stuff? But

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 6 It's like, I don't want to admit I'm getting older either, but I know I am.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 6 And it really freaking sucks.

Speaker 1 It does. It really does.
It does.

Speaker 1 What way?

Speaker 1 On that note,

Speaker 1 heart attack. Does that just feel like really bad heartburn?

Speaker 6 For me, it was, yeah, like massive heartburn in the middle of my chest, went down my arm and kind of on my back. And I wasn't admitting it.
And then when we got in,

Speaker 6 that's an absurd statement to say like i was having a heart attack and i just refused to admit it well i didn't and then the guys were like you need to get to the clinic and actually when we got to the beach one of the uh assistants you know uh uh for the

Speaker 6 for discovery the production company was there and like get in the car we're going you know what i mean so everybody was on board but me um and i and it's weird you start to hear these things and and it's very common i guess with a lot of people so and it sucks because it lives lives in your head and every day you're like you know thank you god i'm alive and uh you know you're living like day to day and it just it really sucks yeah but it's a it's a mental mind

Speaker 2 yeah it sounds like the best thing for you is to continue to do what you love and that that is insanely tough that you're just like you're out there trying to walk off a heart attack

Speaker 6 Or just have a couple of drinks and then sleep better at night. I don't know.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 2 I just need a nightcap. Maybe a nice red wine will take the edge off.
I have one last question, then we'll let you go. This might be a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyways.

Speaker 2 Have you guys gotten into the whole sea shanty game? Because sea shanties are really, really popular amongst youngsters these days.

Speaker 2 And if you wanted to appeal to the high school and college crowd, just tape yourselves doing a sea shanty one time.

Speaker 2 And I'm sure that you'll get another new influx of young greenhorns come up there to Alaska.

Speaker 6 All right, so now I got a YouTube

Speaker 6 sea shanty game. Is that what I got to do?

Speaker 2 Just say, yeah, just get everybody on board to sing a song about crabs. And I think that that would do, that'd go viral instantly.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 6 Okay, that's a good idea.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 I'll put my Scottish kilt on or something like that and start shantying around. Is that it?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 The kids love it these days.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 6 Well, I mean, like we're always in Norway. We try to go once a year.
And there's always songs.

Speaker 6 like that going around in the pubs, you know, and

Speaker 6 for some reason, but they don't see a lot of it here. If you guys are seeing it here now, that's cool.
I'd love to hear that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 true.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, Captain, thank you so much.
Everyone, check out Deadliest Catch It Premieres. The new season is out April 20th at 8 p.m.

Speaker 10 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 10 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 10 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, Hummus, or or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 10 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 10 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 2 Now, here's Hornswoggle. And now for something completely different.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. He is fighting fighting tonight.

Speaker 1 We're going to run this on Friday. You're not fighting tonight, Hornswoggle.
Sorry. Your eyes were like, holy shit, I'm fighting tonight.

Speaker 1 But he is fighting tonight, rough and rowdy, in Morgantown, West Virginia. You can buyRR.com.
He is going up against Jeremy Dynamite Smith. You're going to kick his ass.

Speaker 1 You know him from WWE Superstar Fame Hornswoggle.

Speaker 1 So, how are we feeling going into the fight?

Speaker 1 You're going to kick his ass, right?

Speaker 7 I'm going to show up. I'm going to box.

Speaker 1 I'm going to fight.

Speaker 7 I'm going to make people know who the fuck Jeremy Smith is for once.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 7 And I'm going to make some money.

Speaker 1 Okay. So, reading between the lines, you're not going to pull a bin asked, are you?

Speaker 7 No, I'm not going to Jose Conseiko it. I'm not going to show up, take a fall, go home, put more steroids in my arm, and go to sleep at night.

Speaker 1 Not going to happen.

Speaker 2 Okay, but I mean, just from hearing you talk about the fight for the first time,

Speaker 2 are you confident in yourself?

Speaker 7 I've never fought in my life. Jeremy Smith has fought once in his life.

Speaker 7 People are calling him a fighter. As I said in a previous interview, does that mean if I go to the park, hit a couple tennis balls, I could be fucking Andre Agassi? No chance.

Speaker 7 So I'm not a fighter, but neither is he. Sure, he won a title, which on his first fight.

Speaker 6 Yep.

Speaker 7 Again, if I...

Speaker 7 compete in a slam dunk contest and somehow beat Shaq, does that mean I'm a slam dunk champion?

Speaker 7 no it shouldn't in reality but you would be kind of so you this all capped because you tweeted during rough and rowdy like i want next right i do i do want next that doesn't mean i i know i'm going to win listen i am a professional wrestler i'm an entertainer this is going to be my first foray into this world who knows what's going to happen have you ever been in like an actual fight like a bar fight i've caused a lot of them okay I like that.

Speaker 7 We're being fucking honest.

Speaker 1 I can drop F-bombs here, right? Yes, absolutely.

Speaker 7 I didn't know what shows I can and can't. I never know.
And I don't like to a lot because I'm a PG wrestler. But

Speaker 7 with your guys's audience, I feel I can be a little more PG-13 and a little more myself.

Speaker 7 But the thing is, yeah, I've caused a good amount. I mean,

Speaker 7 I've definitely

Speaker 7 been overserved and been very tired, as I say,

Speaker 7 and caused a few.

Speaker 7 Have I had people have my back? Yeah, sure.

Speaker 1 Any WWE fellow WWE superstars have your back in any of these?

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 yeah.

Speaker 1 Want to name a name? Give us a name. Who's the guy?

Speaker 7 You know, I can't, I cannot name. There was a night where Luke Gallows was definitely having my back one night.

Speaker 7 Former star Luke Gallows, now Doc Gallows.

Speaker 2 He definitely had my back one night.

Speaker 1 So part of, you know, you've been wrestling in in WD for a very long time.

Speaker 1 People know you.

Speaker 1 Do you, one of the storylines you had for a while was that you were Vince McMahon's bastard son. Do you think maybe you're like, there's a 1% chance you're in his will?

Speaker 7 Zero.

Speaker 1 No, come on. That's now you're saying wrestling isn't real.

Speaker 7 No, no, because it was revealed that I'm actually Finley's son. If you would have kept watching the product and you didn't read my Wikipedia, like you probably did.

Speaker 7 So the issue is it was revealed that I was actually Finley's son. So I'm not Vince's son at all, which means I would not be in his will.

Speaker 1 But do you think there was a time that maybe you were in his will? Like you should have actually negotiated that. Like, hey, I'm going to go with this storyline, Vince, but

Speaker 1 I want a little taste.

Speaker 7 Listen, he was paying me well, well at the time. So

Speaker 7 I didn't care about the will at the time, I'll be honest.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 2 I also love the fact that you were in DX because DeGeneration X, I loved X-Pac. He was maybe my favorite wrestler.

Speaker 7 Yo, so I always, I always said I was the X-Pac. Like we would go and do live event house shows overseas or in the country, just not intelligent.

Speaker 7 And I would be in the middle of them too, doing the pyro with them.

Speaker 1 And I was like, I'm fucking X-Pac.

Speaker 1 It's the greatest moment of my life.

Speaker 2 Would X-Pac have your back in a bar fight?

Speaker 1 Hypothetically.

Speaker 7 I feel like X-Pac would have anyone's back in a box.

Speaker 2 He just wants some action.

Speaker 10 Yeah. Yes.
He just wants to fight.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 What's the longest you've spent at a time hiding underneath a ring during a wrestling match to then be revealed and have everyone go crazy seven hours and I mean did you have your no I did not no I did not shit or piss that's the that's always the follow-up question yeah the number one follow-up question where'd you shit where'd you piss yeah you could yeah you could hold it for seven or eight hours did you have your phone at least yeah i would have that i would bring my like a psp under there

Speaker 1 and i would sleep i would literally just sleep under there it was fine you'd just be hanging underneath a wrestling uh ring i don't know if you know this or not but i'm not a tall human uh

Speaker 7 It wasn't that uncomfortable for me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it's just a hilarious thing that you'd be watching a wrestling match and Orange Foggle just playing fucking PSP underneath it.

Speaker 7 Yeah, so I fell asleep.

Speaker 7 We were on tour overseas in Europe and I fell asleep under the ring from the night before being again a little tired and

Speaker 7 from the night before.

Speaker 6 Whole show.

Speaker 7 Finley's match was last, last, last of the night. I fell asleep the whole show, so much so that when my time, Finley rolled out of the ring, lifted the apron for me to come out, and I wasn't there.

Speaker 7 And I'm just face down, like just sleeping away. He thought one of the beams hit me and it knocked me out.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 7 Nah, I was just passed out tonight.

Speaker 2 You're just tired?

Speaker 1 He literally had, whack.

Speaker 1 Hey, I go, what's up, man?

Speaker 6 He goes, were you asleep?

Speaker 7 Oh, no. He had to toss me into the ring for a face-off with the Undertaker, of all people.
And so I'm just in the ring now, and I realize what I did.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 7 I walk, I literally, like,

Speaker 7 just whispering to myself, Undertaker, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 2 I was just, yeah.

Speaker 7 He goes, where were you? I said, I was sleeping.

Speaker 7 Where were you? I said, I was sleeping.

Speaker 2 Were there certain parts of being underneath the ring where like you knew you had to avoid this corner at this time because somebody was about to get slammed and the ring would actually hate you?

Speaker 1 It's like,

Speaker 7 you know, a few days into these, these two-week-long tours, I would be able to hear and like picture what's happening above me from the crowd reactions and just what they're doing.

Speaker 10 It was a really, really neat thing.

Speaker 7 Like, I picked up on for certain matches and certain guys. Um,

Speaker 7 but yeah, I mean, I kind of knew when the when the finishes were coming to net just by

Speaker 2 the audio. So, what should we be on the lookout for on Friday? What is your what's your deadliest punch?

Speaker 1 Ooh,

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 any of them? Oh, okay.

Speaker 7 I mean,

Speaker 7 I don't know. Guys, I've been training for seven weeks.

Speaker 7 Since we really locked this fight in,

Speaker 7 I've never fought in my life. Like I said, I hired a boxing coach doing twice a week, two a weeks, and

Speaker 7 just going at it. I'm taking this more seriously than I've taken anything in my life.
Anything in my life. And it's been the hardest training.

Speaker 7 On top of that, I just ran a wrestling event on Saturday that had 1,100 people. I put that and promoted that and wrestled on that.

Speaker 7 It's been crazy. This has been the craziest two months of my life.

Speaker 2 It's awesome. What's your mentality going into the fight? Are you in war mode?

Speaker 7 I mean,

Speaker 7 I'm in the mode of

Speaker 7 getting more eyes on my brand, the Dylan Postal brand, which is really just me, if we're being honest.

Speaker 7 I've been told and asked, why are you doing this or this? And you can't do this and this all my life.

Speaker 7 When I was four years old, I was paralyzed from a major back surgery. And the first thing I said was, I want to be a professional wrestler.

Speaker 7 The doctor, the first thing out of the surgery when he fixed my back was no contact sports and no trampolines. Obviously, I didn't listen to him.

Speaker 7 So whenever someone tells me kind of no, or you can't do that, or that's just not going to work.

Speaker 7 fuck you kind of thing. And I literally, I watched the last rough and rowdy for the first time in my life.
I've never watched a rough and rowdy show. I was instantly hooked, instantly entertained.

Speaker 7 If I weren't on this one, I'd be purchasing this one. Yes.
I'm going to be purchasing everyone in the future because they are at an event and a show like literally like no other.

Speaker 7 I watched the other one.

Speaker 7 A buddy of mine invited me over to watch the last one. And I brought my son over with me to his house.
And the first fight happened.

Speaker 1 I was hooked. Yes.

Speaker 7 Then the ring, the first ring girl came out and I looked at my 11-year-old son.

Speaker 1 I go, you're becoming a a man tonight landon and it's just it was just fun that's you know what and i describe i describe rough and rowdy as just fun overall yes i describe the whole event and uh go ahead it's so true no i i was just i mean i love rough and rowdy i you know i call the fights it's it's fun and it's fun to watch people compete and i always have so much respect for anyone who gets in the ring because it's not easy and it's fucking like you could get knocked out but you're right it's just wall to wall fun laughs, some cool knockouts.

Speaker 1 I need you to get a knockout on Friday night. I need you to knock Jeremy Smith out.
And because I just...

Speaker 2 You don't like Jeremy Smith?

Speaker 1 No, I like you. I like you.
And I also think that it would be an electric moment if you got a knockout in your first fight ever.

Speaker 7 See, that's the thing. It would be electric and the internet would be going wild.
Everyone watching at home would be wild. I'm used to fighting in front of people, unlike Jeremy Smith.

Speaker 7 I'm used to fighting in front of sold-out arenas like i said in my first interview madison square garden staples center all of this jam-packed with tens of thousands of people

Speaker 7 i wasn't a year into wwe and i was at wrestlemania in front of 84 000 hell yeah

Speaker 7 hasn't fought in front of one yeah you have the moment advantage over him because the moment might be too big for him the moment won't be too big for you Or does he, because he's used to fighting in front of no one.

Speaker 7 I'm used to feeding off a live crowd.

Speaker 7 There is no live crowd. So who does have that advantage?

Speaker 1 There'll be some people. There'll be some people there.
I think it's extended family. So we'll have at least, you know, there'll be some buzz.
You can feel the guy.

Speaker 7 Jeremy Smith is bringing his family.

Speaker 10 Yes.

Speaker 1 That's exactly. Exactly.
Exactly.

Speaker 7 I wish I would have known that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, now you get to knock him out in front of his entire family.

Speaker 7 I mean, either way, like I say, either way, you're going to put some more zeros behind his name once I fight him, make him famous.

Speaker 1 That's true.

Speaker 1 Known as someone. That's true.

Speaker 7 it's just it's i'm looking forward to this man this is it's crunch time i literally just got done training today this morning and i i packed my bags and i'm always a late packer and i always forget something and it's just it's it's just how i live my life and how i've lived my life with traveling for the last 15 20 years

Speaker 7 but i was like i zip my bag i just before i came out of this interview i zip my bag up and i put it in my car and i go well i can't turn back now no matter what there's no turning back my my dad's picking me up, taking me to the airport in the morning.

Speaker 7 We're going. This is go time.
This is, it's fucking go time, and it's here. And I'm so glad it's finally here.

Speaker 2 I think one advantage that you do have over him is that you've taken more hits than he has. So you've got experience in being on the receiving end of some serious blows.

Speaker 2 What's the hardest you've ever been hit in the WWE?

Speaker 7 It's probably WrestleMania 23

Speaker 7 off the top of that 20-foot ladder, taking a slam off the top of that 20-foot ladder.

Speaker 7 I mean,

Speaker 7 it doesn't get bigger than that. But I've taken some brutal blows.

Speaker 7 But it's nothing like this. It's nothing like boxing and punch after punch.
I've never been punched in the face in my life.

Speaker 7 It's never happened.

Speaker 7 This will be the first time

Speaker 1 if he's able to hit me. I had one last question.
So I will be on the call on Friday night.

Speaker 1 You have a bunch of...

Speaker 1 awesome nicknames that you've had in the past do you is there one specifically that you want me to use well i uh swaggle would be great because wwe owns the horn of course okay uh

Speaker 7 so we can call it say dylanpostel or just swaggle um mini gator

Speaker 1 again stop listening to my wikipedia page okay short stack this is a professional interview you guys are supposed to be professional journalists no no no you're not confusing us with you're definitely confusing us yeah no way uh-uh i've listened to you mustache you're in a piece of shit so fine

Speaker 1 but you're a packer fan You're a Packer fan. I didn't want to go there.

Speaker 7 Scott's country, if you're not a Packer fan, obviously.

Speaker 1 You're a Packer fan.

Speaker 7 You're not a Packer fan, you're saying?

Speaker 1 No, I'm a Bears fan. So you've tortured me.

Speaker 6 Oh, you're such a piece of shit.

Speaker 1 No, you're a piece of shit.

Speaker 1 You know what? I'm going to call you. You better call me out next.

Speaker 1 If you win. If you win, I'll fight you.
No, I won't, actually. I will if I stand on my quality.
You don't mean that.

Speaker 7 I mean, Jesus Christ, you're a Bears fan. You're admitting that on a national broadcast.

Speaker 1 You're admitting that. Yeah, I know.
Listen,

Speaker 1 I just realized that I didn't want to go there, but I think now I'm not going to root for you.

Speaker 7 That's great. Because just like everyone else who's telling me this isn't going to happen, join the bandwagon.

Speaker 1 Now I want to root for you. Don't do that.
No, no, no.

Speaker 7 I'm sure next week you'll be a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan like everyone else too.

Speaker 1 It's fine. It's fine.
No, I'll be a Jeremy Smith fan after he knocks you out.

Speaker 7 That's fine. That's fine.
I'm not a fighter, just like him. Anything can happen in this fight.

Speaker 7 But just know, no matter what, we're going to make history with this event with more eyes on it than any other rough and rowdy.

Speaker 1 I love that. I fucking love that.

Speaker 7 Happened this Friday, today, because we're airing it today, but we're recording two days ago. It's happening today.

Speaker 1 Yes. Yeah, tonight.

Speaker 1 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 1 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt. Age four years in bourbon barrels.

Speaker 1 Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 1 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish Apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 1 Hank.

Speaker 1 I was just going to say, you know, he was a good interview, nice guy, but after hearing him talk about the fight, when looking at the play barstool, you have to pick between between him or Dynamite.

Speaker 1 Hornswaggle you're talking about, yeah. You got to pick Dynamite.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Especially after the Ben Ashkren thing, like the fight happened, and then you heard him afterwards kind of say basically the same things that Hornswoggle was saying.

Speaker 1 It's hard to pick him in your head. I agree.
I'd agree. Right.

Speaker 2 But on the other hand, he's Hornswaggle.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 2 And I used to watch him on TV. True.
So there's that.

Speaker 1 And maybe he was underselling it because he's like fought Undertaker. True.

Speaker 1 but he was asleep beforehand that's true yeah all right well it'd be great by uh buyrnr.com uh hank fire fest of the week you want to get going yes uh

Speaker 1 I thought you were fucking with me. Yes, no.

Speaker 2 You were dead. That's why I didn't reply to anybody because we had probably like dozens of people that

Speaker 1 don't British people say pronouncement. Like let's call them a pint at the pub.
You've always called it pint.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like I don't know. Like a pinto?

Speaker 1 What the fuck? Honestly, PFD and I, like, it's funny because we didn't talk about this, but that's exactly the same way.

Speaker 1 Like, we got tagged in so many tweets, and I was like, dude, you didn't know Hank was joking?

Speaker 1 Like, I didn't say that, but in my head, I was like, of course he was fucking, he was fucking with you guys because he pronounces shit terribly. He didn't go to college.

Speaker 1 Like, he doesn't know how to read.

Speaker 2 I thought that it was you trying to do a bad British accent.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And, like, saying it that way on purpose.
No, we delete this part. British people do say pint, right? No, they don't.
They say if you don't.

Speaker 1 If you want us to delete this part and say it was a joke.

Speaker 2 Have you ever seen Snatch?

Speaker 1 I, yeah, I don't know. Mind in the dock stuff.
You'd never said the word pint?

Speaker 1 No, I didn't.

Speaker 2 You can't buy weed in the quantity of pints, so you'd have no reason to use that unit of measurement.

Speaker 1 And like, why? Do you know how to pronounce ounce? I'm not a a huge, I'm not a huge ice cream guy.

Speaker 1 Say eighth.

Speaker 1 Eighth.

Speaker 1 But no, I did the because obviously when I get tripped that much, I get defensive. I'm like, no, you're wrong.
And I went on the text to speech. You put baby in a corner.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I went on the text to speech. And I was like, point.

Speaker 1 Oh, no.

Speaker 1 The other one, though, the other one, I have a dachshund. I thought that was, I would have, you know, up until I had one myself, like Dash Hound, I would have, you know,

Speaker 1 100 times out of 100. That's more forgivable than pint.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Pint, you've never, like, pronounced ice cream of a pint of ice cream.

Speaker 1 That's the part that I'm like, I would have said pint. Yeah, see, that's the part that I don't understand.
You've never, like, that just, to me, says you don't eat enough ice cream.

Speaker 1 I'm not a huge ice cream guy. Because, like, I was as a kid, but not, I would, like, my family would have the big ones.
I'd just, you know, get myself a cup of it.

Speaker 1 Because in my house, I never go and buy the pints. In my house, it's like, oh, like, I'm going to the store.
You need anything? It's like, yeah, pints of ice cream. Right.

Speaker 1 And we don't say, like, let's go get a beer. We don't say, let's go get a pint.
We say, let's go get a beer. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I feel like in TV shows, which the only times you watch a TV show where they talk about getting a pin, it's British, but I feel like they say pint.

Speaker 2 It's going to get pint. No one ever says Peaky Blinders.
Yeah. You probably watch Peaky Blinders on mute with the closed captioning.
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know. So that's my Firefest.
Right people.

Speaker 7 I can relate after the mortgage incident a few weeks ago.

Speaker 2 Right. Yeah, mortgage.
Well, not fun.

Speaker 1 What are Hank's? But you went to college.

Speaker 2 What are Hank's greatest? Yeah,

Speaker 6 I've also never paid a mortgage.

Speaker 1 He's also supposed to be someone that can speak. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 What are Hank's greatest hits? There's Thailand, there's Objin, Pint, Post-Mostly. Post-mostly was good.
Super relatives.

Speaker 1 Super relatives, my personal.

Speaker 1 My personal opinion, the worst one was Island Gorilla. What? What? Lowland Gorilla? Oh, I know.

Speaker 1 I thought it was a gorilla from Des Moines.

Speaker 1 This Iowa land local gorilla.

Speaker 2 How sick would I would be if there were just wild gorillas rolling through the game?

Speaker 1 So sick. So sick.

Speaker 2 Hanging off the windmills.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's my firefest. Great Fire Fest, Hank.
And I miss Billy.

Speaker 1 My Fire Fest was going to be, I had to fire Billy.

Speaker 1 No, just kidding.

Speaker 2 PFD. My Fire Fest is that I am once again being made a fool of by the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 They can't stop winning. I was actually.

Speaker 2 I'm not abandoning ships.

Speaker 1 That's one of those ones that I didn't want to bring up to you because I was like,

Speaker 1 the Pirates have been winning and you've been losing.

Speaker 1 Yes. I'm happy that you brought it up so I didn't have to.
Because it got awkward.

Speaker 2 I've been losing money hand over fist responsibly on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yes.

Speaker 2 It's such a sad thing to say that the Pittsburgh Pirates, I'm talking about the Major League Baseball franchise. The Pittsburgh Pirates are making me look like a fool repeatedly.

Speaker 2 They can't stop winning.

Speaker 2 You could say that I've maybe saved the Pittsburgh Pirates by betting against them. One could say that.
But I do know that when I stop betting on them, they're going to start losing again.

Speaker 2 And I can't let that happen. I can't, because then they beat me twice.
Yes.

Speaker 2 So I think if you see me on a 30 for 30 broke, it's going to be because the Pittsburgh Pirates, with nobody on the roster that I can name off the top of my head, have taken all my money from me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you got to just...

Speaker 1 I think you got to walk the plank.

Speaker 2 I got to do something to turn around. Do I get a parrot?

Speaker 1 They got to suck. Yeah, no, the Pittsburgh Pirates are pretty good.

Speaker 1 They are. They're not relatively.
They're not good, but they're better than bad.

Speaker 2 I think they're good. I think they're better than bad.
I think they're good.

Speaker 1 No, that's better than bad is right before good.

Speaker 2 But, okay, so they don't stink yet.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're better than bad. Like, they're not bad, but they're not good.
They're just in between that. Which makes sense, right?

Speaker 2 Which is very frustrating. That's good, though, for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's always a bad team that has a good April. True.
That's true, Hamlet. But they aren't even having a good April.
They're just, that's my point.

Speaker 1 That's why they're, That's why it might just be that they're not.

Speaker 1 Yeah, their over-under was 59.5. I think they're right around 500.
Like, they might be. 59 and 10.

Speaker 1 Okay, so yeah, they could be like a 72-win team, which would lose you a lot of money, but that's also a bad team.

Speaker 7 They have the second-worst run differential in the NL right now.

Speaker 1 There you go. So you're on something.
There you go.

Speaker 2 So I just got to wait. They've got...
Their Babbitt's too good.

Speaker 7 Second worst behind your knots.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well,

Speaker 2 Babbitt luck has to turn around a little bit.

Speaker 1 All right, my fire fest is: I got two.

Speaker 1 One is, I got in a college football debate today, and I just miss college football so much because it's the best sport to debate because there's just so many fans from everywhere.

Speaker 1 I truly love, I know that every time you try to debate anything online, people will just say, oh, you're triggered. I truly love debating college football online.
So I miss it.

Speaker 1 Can't wait for it to be back. And then my other Fire Fest is I

Speaker 1 so

Speaker 1 everyone thanked us, us, and we should be thanked for killing the Super League and saving soccer. You're welcome.

Speaker 1 The Super League kind of would have been sweet.

Speaker 2 I think the Super League would be a great addition.

Speaker 1 It kind of would have.

Speaker 1 I was thinking about it yesterday, and I was like, imagine if there was just a Wednesday, like every Wednesday afternoon, just the best teams in the world playing each other. I was like, fuck, man.

Speaker 1 That kind of would have been sweet. I don't want it because soccer's for the people and we're the people.
We're for the people.

Speaker 1 But if you like, I think, I actually think that if you asked everyone solo, like, listen, I want your opinion. It will never get out.
We know the bad parts of Super League, but would you watch?

Speaker 1 Because it's going to be sweet. They'd be like, yeah, I'd watch.

Speaker 2 Well, of course they'd watch. I've got news for you, though.
It's going to happen. The Super League's going to happen.
This was a trial balloon that they sent out there. I don't know the people, man.

Speaker 1 The people shut down. I think they're just going to change.
Like we talked about actually on Sunday, they're going to.

Speaker 1 This was a bargaining chip, a poorly played one, but a bargaining chip to basically change Champions League a little bit so that the teams, the top, the top spending teams always get in.

Speaker 2 Why doesn't the MLS just rebrand as the Super League? Should the North? I think that's really what you're kind of missing out on. Yeah.
You missed the idea of a Super League out there roaming free.

Speaker 1 I just like, it hit me. I was like, fuck.

Speaker 2 That kind of would have been sick. I'm glad that we did what we did.

Speaker 1 We saved soccer. I don't have any regrets for saving the most popular sport technically in the world.

Speaker 1 Everyone keeps thanking us, you know. But it would have been sweet.

Speaker 2 So the matchups would be nice.

Speaker 1 It would have been fucking sweet.

Speaker 2 But then

Speaker 2 it also would have destroyed the U.S.'s chance at winning a World Cup.

Speaker 1 I don't even.

Speaker 1 And we've got to make the World Cup.

Speaker 2 That's true, one step at a time. Well,

Speaker 2 that's not even our national team. The women's national team is our national team.
Correct. The men's team is...
Correct. We will not acknowledge them until they qualify

Speaker 2 For World Cup.

Speaker 1 Bubba, do you have a Fire Fest?

Speaker 1 I kind of put you on the spot. Did you get hit by any cars this week? No, I didn't.
Okay, good. That's a good week.
Yeah, that was a plus.

Speaker 1 Fuck, because I thought I did have one. Jake, go first.
Jake, go first.

Speaker 7 I had my phone in my hoodie pocket the other day, and I was walking, and I unknowingly kept pressing the password, and I got disabled.

Speaker 1 for 15 minutes.

Speaker 1 You locked yourself?

Speaker 7 You locked myself.

Speaker 2 I've always wondered what happens if you accidentally press the emergency call button and you don't know it. Like, will like six police officers just run at you and ask you if you're all right?

Speaker 1 Swarm you? I don't know.

Speaker 6 Jake,

Speaker 1 did you feel like a cyber criminal? Did you feel like you might have wanted to turn yourself in?

Speaker 7 No, but when the timer ran out, I was very careful typing in my password. Yeah, like the guy would have been out of something if I did it wrong by act, like on purpose.

Speaker 1 Yeah. What's your password?

Speaker 1 It's

Speaker 6 Jake.

Speaker 1 It doesn't really matter.

Speaker 2 Why'd you say that allows you to ever say that? Because

Speaker 7 someone, you would have to have my phone.

Speaker 1 Right. Yeah.
And

Speaker 1 we will do that.

Speaker 2 Steal your phone.

Speaker 1 Wait, you got to change it now because you actually have access to my Twitter account.

Speaker 7 True, but someone would still have to get their hand.

Speaker 2 I don't trust it. Jake's compromised the integrity of this entire podcast.

Speaker 1 Bleep that out. Bleep that out.
Bleep it out.

Speaker 1 I don't.

Speaker 1 People are going to steal his phone. No, I don't trust.

Speaker 1 So you're now a target.

Speaker 1 You're a weak target.

Speaker 1 Like people will go for you.

Speaker 2 I like how Jake is just like completely oblivious to the fact that it would be bad for other people to have your

Speaker 1 password. You're a weak target now.

Speaker 7 All right, so leave it out for this.

Speaker 1 No, change it. You gotta change it.
You gotta change it. I'll bleep out the numbers.

Speaker 2 I've had it since like sixth grade.

Speaker 1 No, he also said it out loud. You also bleep out the numbers.

Speaker 2 You also showed on the screen you did like the manual typing in of the password. So now they know the order that you use.

Speaker 7 Well, is it reversed? Because

Speaker 2 We need to steal his phone and see if he's been texting with other podcasts. Ooh, interesting.

Speaker 7 I have nothing to hide. You have to look at my phone.

Speaker 1 I know you don't.

Speaker 1 It probably would be like, it actually would suck to look at your phone because it makes me feel like a worse person where it's like someone says, hey, how are those guys?

Speaker 1 Like, oh, yeah, they're the best guys ever. I love them so much.
Like, way too nice about us to strangers.

Speaker 2 The fact that you're so open about letting me use your cell phone makes me not want your cell phone.

Speaker 1 Yeah, way to go.

Speaker 7 All right. I'm off the hook again.

Speaker 1 Another day is the world's top terrorist survived. Incredible, Jake.
I don't know how you do it.

Speaker 2 I think there's a small chance that Jake is a fed.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's a sleeper cell. I've always thought he's a sleeper cell.

Speaker 2 He's something.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's a sleeper cell sent from Bristol or something

Speaker 1 to watch us.

Speaker 1 All right. Liam.
I do remember.

Speaker 1 I thought I lost my debit card and I reported it lost on the app and ordered a new one and it was in my wallet the whole time. Oh, that's a huge, huge deal.

Speaker 9 I realized like two days after, and then you just change everything, yeah.

Speaker 1 So, I have a new one like in the mail, but I had the thing the whole time.

Speaker 2 You know how forest fires are actually kind of a good thing sometimes if they're contained to a certain area because they kind of replenish the forest over the long term?

Speaker 2 That's how I look at losing my debit card sometimes because you get the monthly charges for things that you forget that you're subscribed to, and so then those charges stop, and then you have to re-sign up for them again.

Speaker 2 Right. It's actually kind of you can look at this in a positive light, Bubba.

Speaker 1 All right, yeah,

Speaker 1 yeah, that's true. You will be.
Before summer, there will be

Speaker 1 a few things that will fall off that you didn't even need.

Speaker 2 A couple OnlyFans accounts that you no longer use.

Speaker 1 Yeah, a couple like first-person shooter games on your phone where you just buy all the sick guns. I've done that.
I've fallen into that hole a few times. Kendrick Perkins special.
Yes. Yes.

Speaker 1 Caleb Presley's brother special.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Andrew. Yeah, shout out Big Ups.
All right.

Speaker 2 Well, I learned a fun fact about Bubba.

Speaker 1 Liam made that suggestion you should start doing that. Big ups.
Let's go. Big ups.
Okay.

Speaker 1 But I know I sound like the biggest loser ever.

Speaker 1 But if it will make everyone laugh, I will do it. No, have you said it instead of let's go? It would throw people off so much.

Speaker 2 People get very mad at me.

Speaker 1 Let's go.

Speaker 1 All right. Okay.
Big ups.

Speaker 2 I learned an interesting fact about Bubba this last weekend. What?

Speaker 2 So I was hanging out with somebody on Friday night, and they were like, Bubba, whenever we're hanging out, he sits down on my couch, slams beers, and puts on YouTube and

Speaker 2 immediately searches longest home runs and then makes him watch seven-minute long compilations of just monster jacks.

Speaker 1 Oh, hell yeah. That's like your go-to move.
Yeah, it became like an inside joke, so now I just go over the top with it and like have to do it every day. What's your favorite one?

Speaker 1 There's one that's like 45 minutes long. No, what's your favorite home run?

Speaker 1 The

Speaker 1 Glenn Allen Hill? No, the Barry Bonds at Yankee Stadium. When it just goes into the triple deck,

Speaker 1 steroids, dude. Yeah, that's it.
I mean, yeah, steroids are so exciting. Do you know the Glenn Allen Hill one? Have you watched that one? Where he hits, hits, he breaks a window across from Wrigley.

Speaker 1 No. Yeah, you got to watch that, too.

Speaker 1 Fucking he hits it off like his shoelace, too.

Speaker 2 For some reason, all the home runs that are hit in the old Skydome, they look like they go way for like every home run there's like 530 feet.

Speaker 1 Yes, that's actually yeah, if you got to the second deck. I kind of like that, Bubba.
Oh, that's kind of a cool guy. It's a power move.
Yeah, that's just a guy.

Speaker 1 Like, that sets the tone of like, hey, let's just be guys. We see that.
I mean, like, you're going to tell me monster home runs don't rock? Yeah.

Speaker 1 You're a loser if you don't like that. And I bet you you get chicks just walking in being like, yo, you guys watching, you watching some long balls? Yeah,

Speaker 1 chicks take the long balls. Exactly.
All right, let's do numbers. 99.
Give me an 8.

Speaker 2 38.

Speaker 1 14.

Speaker 1 Actually, no, give me 14 for rough morality 14. 8irr.com.

Speaker 1 Push 38. I'm going to.
54. 50 fat a couple times.
I feel like. I've gotten one off two days in a row.

Speaker 1 54.

Speaker 7 Command F, 54. First timer.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. Scorigami.
Scoring We've had it. Yeah.
Yeah. Huge.

Speaker 1 How many numbers do we have left?

Speaker 7 I can do the math, but I feel like there's still some out there. There's got to be like 20 or 30 out there.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 By the way, Jake, was it Scorigami? I saw Jackson State won by forfeit last weekend, so it was a 2-0 ballgame. Is that Scorigami?

Speaker 1 The game started, then they forfeited.

Speaker 7 I feel like 2-0 has to be Scorigami.

Speaker 1 They forfeited.

Speaker 1 The game started.

Speaker 2 No, that's what the score was. No, they gave it to me.

Speaker 1 2-0.

Speaker 1 Oh, old school, yeah.

Speaker 7 2-0's happened twice. The Akron Pros over the Buffalo All-Americans, then the Chicago Bears over the Green Bay Packers in 1938.

Speaker 1 They're also remember there was six. Iowa beat Penn State six to four.

Speaker 7 Sorry, there's been five.

Speaker 1 I prefer to Yellow Jack. Iowa beat Penn State six to four.
I can't remember what year it was.

Speaker 7 Oh, that was like semi-recently, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, maybe it's like 10 years ago. Yeah.
Also, that's an awesome score.

Speaker 2 One very last thing. FCS playoffs start this weekend.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 2 We got football. Check it out.

Speaker 1 Football's back.

Speaker 2 Watch it. Go, Dukes.

Speaker 1 Love you guys.

Speaker 1 Shine away,

Speaker 1 I'm coming to your lovely.

Speaker 1 Shine away,

Speaker 1 I'm coming to your love that day.

Speaker 1 Make me

Speaker 1 up,

Speaker 1 I do, I do, I do, but

Speaker 1 I said by the body,

Speaker 1 dancing,

Speaker 1 Say after me, noise better to the same.

Speaker 1 Say after me, no, I'm not always the better to be safe as all

Speaker 1 your business.

Speaker 1 It's pardon my My Take presented by Bar Stool Sports.
