Speaker 3 On today's part of my take, we have

Speaker 3 future Hall of Famer Julian Edelman. Maybe he's a Hall of Famer.
I don't know. We'll talk to him.

Speaker 3 We have a great interview with Jules. He's doing our podcast and our podcast alone.
No big deal.

Speaker 3 We're going to talk a little death of the Super League.

Speaker 3 There was a Lakers Twitter catfishing that was ridiculous. Hot seat, cool throne.
Some great listener FAQs. A pack show for the people.
And we're brought to you by our friends.

Speaker 5 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce, only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 6 At participating,

Speaker 6 Love is the hannah, love washing,

Speaker 6 and then I can't name all on the sun. Oh, no, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue,

Speaker 6 and then we'll make it higher.

Speaker 6 Oh, we gotta rock it down to ELA Trick Ivanu.

Speaker 3 It's part of my take presented by

Speaker 3 school sports.

Speaker 3 Welcome to part of my take presented by noon.com. Get helpier today with noom.com/slash PMT.
Noom.com/slash PMT.

Speaker 3 Today is Wednesday, April 21st, and the Super League is dead. We fucking killed that stupid son of a bitch.

Speaker 6 Play the cold play song. song.

Speaker 3 Okay, hold on. Yeah, bring that up.

Speaker 6 R.I.P. to the Super League.

Speaker 3 I thought we liked the Super League.

Speaker 6 We hardly knew. We liked the name.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we were.

Speaker 6 Hopefully, I mean, if the Premier League is smart, they'll just rebrand as the English Super League. And then nobody can ever cuck them out of that again.

Speaker 6 But, yeah, basically, what it all boiled down to was there was a group of very rich people, a bunch of billionaires who didn't think they should pay for their own fucking stadiums. And

Speaker 6 they tried to organize the mass exodus.

Speaker 3 And they were like, well, what's going to happen?

Speaker 6 There's going to be a bunch of poor people that are upset. What are they going to do? Not buy our shit anymore? Turns out that over in Europe, yeah, poor people actually do that.

Speaker 6 They actually fight back. So it was 18 hours.

Speaker 3 Excuse me, 18

Speaker 6 hours. 18-hour league.
And I just hope Texas A ⁇ M puts it up on the side of the stadium as their victory.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 3 So, Hank, you say Americans that created the Super League. Let me ask you this brainbuster real quick.

Speaker 3 That's just the knowledge I learned from troops on Monday. In order to kill something so evil as the Super League, you have to create it.

Speaker 3 So shouldn't Americans get credit for creating something that the world can get behind and kill? Good point. Like the nuclear bomb.
We did this. We created and killed it, so we deserve all the credit.

Speaker 3 Specifically this show and generally America.

Speaker 4 I would say.

Speaker 6 It's actually, it was a great test. All along it was a test.

Speaker 6 It was an experiment. And guess what? There are 12 teams that failed.
We put together this idea of a giant league that would suck the soul out of sports.

Speaker 3 We didn't. Marshall Henderson did.

Speaker 6 Marshall Henderson put it together, and then we saw, oh, surely Manchester United and Juventus and Leeds won't join this. Leeds actually did.
They passed the test by not joining.

Speaker 6 But then all these big teams were like, yeah, we're greedy, we're money hungry.

Speaker 3 Guess what?

Speaker 6 You guys really showed your ass because you're the bad guys.

Speaker 3 You rich motherfuckers, we beat your ass. Isn't this bad for our World Cup chances?

Speaker 6 No, it's great for our World Cup chances because Pusilich and Dest and all the other great players that we have right now, they all just happened to be on teams that would have been in the Super League and not been allowed to play.

Speaker 6 So now, guess what? USA World Cup 2022.

Speaker 3 Qatar.

Speaker 6 2022.

Speaker 3 Another great idea. That's

Speaker 3 have a World Cup in the middle of the desert.

Speaker 6 That's what's so funny because we were trying to figure out with troops why FIFA was coming down on the side of the fans.

Speaker 6 And we figured out afterwards, it's because FIFA controls UEFA, the Champions League, and the Super League would have sucked all the money out of UEFA.

Speaker 6 So that's why FIFA was doing this, not because they're like some some big FIFA's like, listen, we're okay with letting North Korea into our tournaments, but a European player that doesn't compete in the Champions League, see ya.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Now, excuse me, we have a bunch of slaves to go bury in Qatar.

Speaker 3 Yes. Whoa.
Damn, dropped a hammer on that. Sorry.
Yeah, no, FIFA

Speaker 3 isn't a good actor in any of this. But we did kill it.
It's over. Thank God it's over.
The fans, mostly from us and leading the charge. I would say, I mean,

Speaker 3 that clip from troops on the show on Sunday had a lot of people people interacting with it, had a lot of people watching it. So we got the message out there.

Speaker 3 I saw James Corden just basically watched it and then did his own, like, troops. He basically, he just basically did a cover band of troops.

Speaker 6 No big deal. He didn't drop the inbomb like troops did.

Speaker 3 No, he did not. No, he did not.
Do you guys do the World Cups during football season? Yeah, no, because they're doing it in a fucking desert. That's good.

Speaker 3 They had to create these huge stadiums with air conditioning. It's one of the dumbest things ever.
You know what?

Speaker 3 I bet you that there's going to be 24 hours of football that that take place then yes you're going to soccer at 3 a.m football football and football time yeah yeah that we'll have to do a marathon for that this is me just writing checks i don't want to cash later i did learn that there are more players on the u.s men's team than just pulisic so that was a win for uh soccer awareness in america so credit to uh the super league for doing that i think it was all good all good came from this we all got together There's nothing like a common enemy that everyone can just get pissed off at.

Speaker 3 So, yeah, job well done. Again, mostly by us, but job well done.
I'll take credit for it.

Speaker 6 I'd say that the two biggest successes of this podcast have been one, bullying Nyquist the horse off Twitter, and then two, ending the European Super League.

Speaker 3 Yes, there it is. One and two.
So

Speaker 3 that one, just like easy as could be, moving on.

Speaker 6 Now, but there is something that popped up in the back of my head. Yeah.
When this was all put to bed, like so quickly, they're going to try this again in like two years. Yeah,

Speaker 3 get the fuck out of it again they're gonna learn from what happened this time and they're gonna do it like in the dead of night yeah but we found out probably do it during the olympics like when putin invaded the crimea but we found out they're bitches they are bitches so we'll just fuck them up again they are bitches we will fuck them up again when they come at us we will fuck them up again um all right so the other news we had was lakers twitter had a catfish problem which is we were i think we were long overdue for a good catfishing uh and it was to to catch you up which is really it's inconsequential, but it's also very funny.

Speaker 3 Uh, basically, there was a female, or we don't know the real identity of the person, there was someone who was pretending to be an

Speaker 3 attractive woman who was very much into the Lakers, did podcast uh appearances, possibly faked cancer, then possibly faked her own abduction, which is the no-no.

Speaker 3 You can't, you can do one or the other, you can't do both, and uh, was exposed.

Speaker 3 And uh, again, I just love any catfishing story online because it's actually incredible that it doesn't happen more often when you think about

Speaker 3 where can you find horny dudes that if you just talk a little bit of sports, they will simp for you forever. Oh, yeah, the internet.

Speaker 6 I think it probably does happen a lot. We just find out about it when it gets caught.
People are just really good at pretending to be women online, I think.

Speaker 3 My idea was. Waker Daniela is

Speaker 3 out there.

Speaker 3 My idea was: why isn't anyone so like all these stories are pretty much the same arc where it's like someone find, you know, someone creates an account, puts an avatar up there that's not them, gets in in a community, and then gets like one or two close friends, gets exposed, deletes their account.

Speaker 3 I don't know why, why aren't people buying penny stocks of this account right now?

Speaker 3 Because what if, like, there's got to be a one in a million shot that the catfisher actually is the chick, and if you start white knighting now when everyone's going at her,

Speaker 3 you're truly the like, yo, are these guys bothering you online, guy? Yeah, nothing. And what's the worst thing that happens? Nothing.

Speaker 3 You end up with a fucking dude who loves the Lakers. Yeah.
You have a buddy, a buddy you watch the games with. Yeah.
Who you could sext with and jerk off.

Speaker 6 And very worst case scenario, you look like a good guy for being like, I'm the last person that will defend the honor of this probably dude. You know what? Dudes need white-knighting, too.

Speaker 6 I don't know why that gets reserved exclusively for females. Like every now and again, it would be nice if somebody white-knighted for us.

Speaker 3 Dude supporting dudes. I always say that I

Speaker 3 when was, oh,

Speaker 3 when I texted Titus, our good friend Mark Titus, because he had a nice tan, I was like, dude, you got a sick tan. Like, we should do that more often to each other.

Speaker 6 Dude's rock. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Go tanning? No, just be like, hey, you look good. Like, hey, you look good, bro.
Why don't I just say it? I'm looking at you right now. I don't.
I can't say it.

Speaker 3 But if you were looking good, I would tell you you look good.

Speaker 8 Watch this.

Speaker 6 Jake looks nice today.

Speaker 6 Jake? You can't look at him while you say it.

Speaker 3 He's not wearing glasses. Jake?

Speaker 3 Jake looks nice today. Ew.
Ew.

Speaker 3 Hot meme. I'd like to look.
Not as much gel today.

Speaker 6 Oh.

Speaker 6 Oh, naturale.

Speaker 3 Okay, yeah. I like

Speaker 3 natural.

Speaker 3 I got a button down for the first time.

Speaker 9 More fresh for the love.

Speaker 3 Yeah. I like my PMT sports biz guys with less makeup on.
What is tonight? Lugers for Stool Benchmark.

Speaker 3 They ended the podcast, so they're doing a big

Speaker 3 season one.

Speaker 9 We're still doing once a week Thursday releases.

Speaker 3 You know what we should do?

Speaker 6 We should hire Vivian.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 6 And the chance that she's real. Yes.
And she got abducted. She's got cancer.

Speaker 6 Hopefully she survives this ordeal. And the chance that she's real, we should hire her to be on the show, to be our Lakers stats girl.

Speaker 6 If it turns out that Vivian is actually really Vivian, she is our official Lakers correspondent. That's exactly what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 It's in the finance world, it's a distressed asset. We're buying distressed assets in the hope that we can turn them around.

Speaker 3 So we buy the distressed asset. It's one in a million shot that she's actually who she says she is.
But if she is, she'll remember that we were the ones who had her back.

Speaker 6 She's a Kevin Eucalyst. She's like, if we're doing Moneyball, she gets on base.
Doesn't matter how she gets there.

Speaker 3 So the other part of the story, there was a couple other funny elements. Kevin Durant is now the king of Twitter.

Speaker 3 So he was on Twitter spaces, like getting the breakdown.

Speaker 3 Kevin Durant, we have given him a lot of shit. We've called him the Triple B many times.

Speaker 3 And I just just think that he has persisted so much online as being just an online dude that he's won everyone over who's like, oh, you're so lame for being online all the time.

Speaker 3 And he just stayed online. And now it's like, no, he's cool because he's like us.

Speaker 6 I'm removing the mayor of Twitter handle title from Chrissy Teagan, giving it to Kevin Durant because Chrissy shows up and she just like tweets and then hopes that she gets all her friends to retweet her and tell her how great and funny she is.

Speaker 6 Kevin Durant actually engages with everybody online and he engages with with every single Twitter development.

Speaker 6 You know how sometimes you get a notification on Twitter, it's like, hey, we're rolling out this new feature, give it a shot.

Speaker 6 All those go to Kevin Durant, and he tries them out immediately, fills out the forms, sends them back. He's on Spaces.

Speaker 6 He's probably the biggest power user of Twitter spaces. He is the official mayor of Twitter as far as I'm concerned.

Speaker 3 He is.

Speaker 6 Was he catfished by it?

Speaker 3 No, he wasn't.

Speaker 3 He jumped into a Twitter spaces and just asked for a rundown by a guy who, there was a guy, unfortunately, who did kind of fall in love with this chick who's not a chick.

Speaker 3 And then also Taylor Rooks jumped in, and everyone

Speaker 3 like

Speaker 3 what they've made Vivian out to be is what Taylor Rooks is in real life. And they all like free, she was trending just because she went into a Twitter space, which was hilarious.

Speaker 3 Ice Cube's son, O'Shea Jackson Jr., he retweeted being like, five, fine, Vivian.

Speaker 3 Markeith Morris did that. The whole internet was like, whole Lakers' internet.

Speaker 6 And it was just a very, again, catfishing stories I feel like we haven't had a good one in a while so uh and then she deleted her account never to be seen so the person in the pictures of Vivian I know that a few of them were photoshopped kind of like the college admissions thing she was like playing water polo at some point the backgrounds always changed for her but it is a real person right the the individual yes exists yes whoever that person is should say should take on Vivian's personality right now it should be like doug's right it should be like doug's vivian should see that there's a brand built around her already She should just learn everything she can about the Lakers right now,

Speaker 8 hop online, and boom, she's immediately accepted as there.

Speaker 3 She's ready to roll. I like that.
So she's kind of made like a, she's almost,

Speaker 3 what is it? What do you call it, Billy? What do you call it? Like butterfly and the moth and the larva, what is it called? Metamorphosis. Yeah, there it is.

Speaker 3 Someone can hop into the larva sack and come out a beautiful butterfly, which is not a pun because her name is Butterfly, her Twitter handle. I didn't do that on purpose.
Okay. But it is.

Speaker 6 I just realized that. But what is it, Butterfly?

Speaker 3 It's Butterfly424 or something. Okay.
So.

Speaker 6 It's actually remarkable that you're able to build such a strong brand with such a lame handle.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Well, I think that's a good thing.

Speaker 3 She did gain 16,000 followers solely off of the fact that she got fake abducted and had fake cancer.

Speaker 6 That's true. So, I mean, she also was attractive, which helps.

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 3 You know what?

Speaker 6 All right, here's how I feel about the whole catfishing thing, because everybody online, to a certain extent, pretends to be somebody that they're not.

Speaker 3 Right?

Speaker 3 We're all losers. Is that We're all losers.
Is that too deep for 420? We're all losers.

Speaker 6 It's the fact, like, everyone puts forth what they want to put forth online. And so we're all just catfishing.

Speaker 3 That's why celebrity, yeah, worship is so stupid. It's the old, like, I can't believe this celebrity couple got divorced.
Like, well, I can because they had a marriage. Like, me, big cat.

Speaker 3 That happens.

Speaker 6 Me, Big Cat, and Hank, we don't actually write any of this show. We're just the beautiful faces just to suck you guys in.

Speaker 3 Jake writes everything.

Speaker 7 Jake writes Bubba.

Speaker 6 When Jake's wearing his glasses, he writes everything. Yeah, he's our head writer.
I know what we can do with these guys.

Speaker 3 Jake, I remember what I was gonna ask you Chet Holmgren

Speaker 3 yeah Konzaga got another lanky white guy surely this will take him over the top I'll see

Speaker 3 that's all I wanted to say

Speaker 6 I thought Jake broke that news yesterday because he tweeted out Chet Holmgren to Konzag and I was like Jake are you breaking news he's like no I'm just watching his live stream and recording also Chet Holmgren is not like If we're just going name alone,

Speaker 3 that's a fucking country music, like a failed country music act in Nashville. Yeah.

Speaker 3 That's not a number one pick, number one recruit to gonzack i would say yeah like b-list country musician slash uh probably the the best used car salesman in columbus yeah from minnesota come on down see chet what are they doing what's mark few doing in minnesota stalen's hugs he's just stealing the whole state yeah damn so should be interesting

Speaker 3 it did it did bother me a little i i say that uh jokingly about chet holmgren simply because i i saw it and like if wisconsin was at his peak as a as a program that's

Speaker 3 we should get a guy like that, a fucking tall lane.

Speaker 3 From Minnesota, especially his reciprocity. Right, exactly.
It should be, should be us.

Speaker 3 So what else do we have?

Speaker 3 Oh, I saw a crazy stat I wanted to throw out there because we respect credit to us, by the way, for getting ahead of

Speaker 3 respecting Steph more the night before he went for 49. That felt good.
But he is insane.

Speaker 3 He's off the charge right now.

Speaker 6 So, yeah, it's kind of progressed over the course of the last week. It's been like Steph is unreal.
That's what it started with. Then it's Steph is insane.
Now, Steph is unconscious.

Speaker 3 Steph is unconscious and maybe MVP, but not.

Speaker 6 I'm going to start the train on that. Do it.
Steph for MVP. Do it.

Speaker 3 Windhorse would get... Well, no, let's see how many games he played.

Speaker 6 I think Steph Curry is the most valuable player of the league.

Speaker 3 If he didn't play enough games, Windhorse would get really mad at you.

Speaker 3 Yeah, okay, let's do it.

Speaker 6 No one's ever done what Steph's done.

Speaker 3 No one has ever done what Steph's done. It's true.
What is it, 73s in the last

Speaker 3 10 games?

Speaker 6 You cannot tell the story of the NBA in the year 2021 without mentioning Steph Curry. That's a fact.

Speaker 3 It also just shows how stupid we are as sports fans and how, like, in the moment, because

Speaker 3 I did, and of course, it's just one person on Twitter, but I do think there is a sect of people who are like, Steph can't do it alone.

Speaker 3 And you're like, dude, in 2015, he was the best player on a championship team that won 67 games. And the next year, he was the best player on a team that won 73 games.

Speaker 6 Right.

Speaker 3 They're just saying, like, I think he can do, he obviously has help, but he can be the best player on a great team.

Speaker 6 Right. They're saying also like if you took away all of Steph's good players, then his team wouldn't be as good.
Right. That's probably just a fact.

Speaker 3 One of the best, one of the best arguments out there. Maybe we don't respect Clay enough.

Speaker 6 Maybe we don't respect Joelle Embiid enough either.

Speaker 3 Dude, Joelle Embiid's insane.

Speaker 3 The one thing about Joelle Embiid, though, he's so good, and he makes the ball look so small in his hands. And it looks like he's playing on like a mini hoop because he's so large.

Speaker 3 and so like incredibly skilled. The one thing with Joel Embiid, though, is every time he hits the ground, ground, I'm like, that's it.
Yeah. It's over.

Speaker 6 Which is actually, I think, that's contributing to the Joel Embiid for MVP conversation. The fact that he hasn't gotten severely injured this year.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 He's figured it out. He is at a level, though, where he just dominates.

Speaker 3 Like, when he has the ball, it's just, okay, he's either going to score or he's going to make something happen every single time. And he does, he is just an enormous, enormous human being.

Speaker 6 When he caught that home run, and then he took a picture of his hand holding it, and it just looked, it looked like one of those Cadbury cream eggs.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Andre the Giant. Yes.
Andre the Giant holding his Cadbury cream eggs just right in your hand. Yep.

Speaker 3 The perfect spot in the

Speaker 3 palm of your hand. Perfect analogy, cousin.

Speaker 3 By the way, hand up. Yeah.

Speaker 6 I fucked up with cousin.

Speaker 3 Why? Because

Speaker 6 I should have said nephew. Snoop always says nephew, not cousin.

Speaker 3 And cuz instead of like.

Speaker 6 No, cuz still doesn't sound great.

Speaker 3 But cuz sounds better than cousin.

Speaker 6 He also says cuz. Cuz, yeah.

Speaker 3 And he has said cousin, but it was also the delivery. I just don't know if anyone can deliver Snoop Dogg except Snoop Dogg.
No cap. Right.

Speaker 10 He throws around Unk, too. Yeah, Unk.

Speaker 3 He actually says every relative family member. Yeah, Steph Curry.
Yeah. Here you go, cousin.
Yeah, damn it. One of my brethren.

Speaker 6 Listen, there are some shots that you wish you could take back in life, but you know what? Shooter, shoot. Yes.
Steph Curry. You got to keep going.

Speaker 6 Sometimes I have, sometimes I have weeks where I'm off, sometimes I'm unconscious.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 3 All right. So the other thing.
Oh.

Speaker 3 The stat I wanted to say that

Speaker 3 I wanted to throw out there because it fucking blew my mind.

Speaker 3 Ben Fox tweeted this

Speaker 3 F-A-W-K-E-S. I said that like Fox to the network.

Speaker 6 Like the guy that overthrew Parliament.

Speaker 3 Guy Fox, yeah, guy Fox.

Speaker 3 Dodgers have been favored in 96 straight games dating back to 2019 season finale versus the Nationals. They've been favored in 134 of the last 136 games.
That's stupid.

Speaker 11 It is stupid.

Speaker 3 That actually is not respect the Dodgers. It means that people respect the Dodgers too much.

Speaker 6 Way too much. Way too much.
That tells me that they're overvalued.

Speaker 3 That's insane. 134 out of the last 136 games is it profitable do you know i don't know i don't know that's crazy

Speaker 3 isn't that insane they still haven't won a real ring though that's true they are really really good and it's not whatever it's you know what i feel like whenever a team's really really good out west you can just be like we'll deal with that later yeah no you're absolutely right like who cares because for whatever reason you always think we won't have to face them until like at least the second leg of the playoffs well and it's just like you know like the games are on it like late at night i don't really see them dominating.

Speaker 3 Like, who cares? We'll figure it out later. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 All right. Anything else before we get to hot seat, cool thrown?

Speaker 6 Anything? My fantasy team lost. Fuck, I'm sorry.
One and one, Seam Head Express. What happened this week? Just, you know,

Speaker 3 one game a week.

Speaker 6 Had some COVID issues this week.

Speaker 3 Actually, I take that question back. You don't do that.
Don't strike that from the record. I don't care.
Strike that from the record. Don't.
You just gotta, you gotta, like, ask a

Speaker 3 question. I mean, I'm waiting for

Speaker 6 Mondisi, Mondesi, to get off the IL.

Speaker 3 Look what you did, eh? I know.

Speaker 6 It's just unreal. Like, this guy,

Speaker 6 he hasn't even swung a bat yet.

Speaker 3 Where'd you pick him?

Speaker 6 I think I took him like fifth round.

Speaker 3 It was great value, actually. Yeah, but you need that to come through.

Speaker 6 I need it to come through, but it's a long season.

Speaker 7 A best abilities availability.

Speaker 3 That's absolutely. And he's not in.
Gotta keep the stars.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I'm not papering out on this. I'm not man ewing.

Speaker 3 So wait, what happened this week?

Speaker 6 So I actually got really, really badly beat. I think I lost like one, eight, and one.

Speaker 3 But it still counts as only one loss. Yeah, it counts as one loss.
loss. So who cares?

Speaker 6 We're one and one of the season. We're keeping, you know, just keeping things level for right now.
We're lurking.

Speaker 3 Who cares? I always say

Speaker 6 if you're, if you're, you know, five games back at the all-star break, you can make a run.

Speaker 3 Yeah, absolutely. There it is.
All right, let's get to Hot Sea Cool Throne.

Speaker 6 Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 4 Hey, Hank, hot tea coutra.

Speaker 6 You want me to go?

Speaker 3 Yes, yeah, do it. Okay, I feel like the expression nature is healing may be overused sometimes, but last night I thought it was extremely appropriate.
Foul ball guy is my hot seat.

Speaker 3 Crowds, fans are back in baseball. Nature is healing.
There was a home run hit, and I think it was the Phillies game, and foul ball guy went sprinting. Like, it landed in the seats.

Speaker 3 Foul ball guy, you just see him come in the frame, absolutely hauling ass. And as he gets the ball, he fell.
And then the clip that I saw, it fell before you even saw if he got the ball.

Speaker 3 Like, it seemed like he was like, he fell, and then he was reaching, and the clip ended.

Speaker 3 But hot seed foulball guy, he's clearly not, you know,

Speaker 3 he's been off for a year, he's not in form, he's slipping, he's falling. I don't even know if he got the ball.
Oh, the hustle's still there. Yeah, the hustle's there, but he's rusty.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but he's not like mid-season prime foul ball guy.

Speaker 3 First of all, let me stop you there. Let me stop there.
First prime foul ball guy is catching that ball. Let me stop you.
He doesn't even need to run for it. Let me stop you right there.

Speaker 3 Was it a foul ball he was going for? No, but he's not going to be able to fight. Oh, that's home run ball.
Guy. That's home run ball guy.
He doesn't catch foul ball. balls.
His name is Foul Ball Guy.

Speaker 3 Home run ball. No,

Speaker 6 he catfished you into thinking he was a foul ball guy.

Speaker 3 I think he's a ball guy. A home run ball guy.

Speaker 3 He texted me this morning. He said, Yo, I need to redeem myself after last night's debacle in Philly.

Speaker 3 Do you see my spectacular fail? Let's hit up a game. Yankees, Phillies, we'll do it for YouTube and get hundreds of thousands of views.
Hope you're doing well. Sounds lucrative.

Speaker 3 There's one person here that should go to a game with him. Frank the Tank.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yes. Well, yeah.
Yeah. I mean, let's.
Do you think you can get him in position? Yes. Imagine? Yeah.
Imagine

Speaker 3 Frank would maybe turn around all his luck.

Speaker 6 It would have to be like, it would be like in the sand lot where Benny the Jet put the guy in the outfield and he was like, stand here. I'm going to hit it into your glove.

Speaker 6 He could do that during batting practice.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 6 He could put Frank in a position to make a catch.

Speaker 3 And then maybe even bring the alternate jerseys, flip Frank out in and out of jerseys to get the players throwing him balls.

Speaker 3 I just love...

Speaker 3 Fallball guy, like, I just hope that some, like, in 20 years, I'm turning on a game and he's just flailing around in the outfields and grabbing balls. Like, it's great.
It's perfect.

Speaker 3 It was so nice to see you.

Speaker 3 To see him hauling fucking ass. Right.
Kevin and Marlin's man. I left back.

Speaker 6 I love seeing the hustle out of him because you can control your effort. You can control your preparation.
He did both.

Speaker 6 It's just a matter of getting the reps back before he starts catching those home runs again. I'm sure about that.

Speaker 3 I think about that episode probably more than any other episode we've ever done. I mean, just because Marlin's man called me and was like threatening to sue me.
This is before we were friends.

Speaker 3 This was our first interaction with him. And I think the reaction people were like, fuck Marlin's man after that episode.
And he called me the next day, like threatening all this legal act.

Speaker 3 It was one of the wildest

Speaker 3 all the people we've had on. It was one of the wildest post-interviews of all time.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 But yeah, foulball guy got to get back on his game. My cool throne, we mentioned it earlier, but guy's named Chet, White Boy Summer, and then the number one recruit going to Gonzaga.
And guys, Dave.

Speaker 3 Dave has a new season of videos coming out. Dave has new seasonal videos.
Lil Dickey videos coming out. Federal crime.
Yes. Yes.
That is a federal crime. No, June.
June season two.

Speaker 8 Oh, Lil Dickey shows.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 Well, wait, that's also,

Speaker 6 that's the show I've been meaning to get around to watching because everybody that I know watches a show and absolutely loves it.

Speaker 3 It's really, really good.

Speaker 6 I'm going to watch Dave.

Speaker 6 That's my resolution. There you go.
By the time I speak to you on next Wednesday's show, within the next week, I will have started Dave. Wow.

Speaker 3 That's powerful. You know what? I'm going to say it.
Are you going to do it? It's freak. You're a hero.
It's freaking hero. Like, that's dude.
You just, you sure you're gonna sign yourself off?

Speaker 6 I'm big into setting goals.

Speaker 3 Because I heard that I heard the

Speaker 3 fine language there. You didn't say you were gonna finish it.
You said you were gonna start it.

Speaker 6 No, it's important to set goals. Big cat, there's an art to this.

Speaker 6 Here's two things you have to do.

Speaker 3 Heroes move.

Speaker 6 One, set goals. Boom.
Check that off. Checked off one goal already.
Two, set attainable goals. Yes.
Three, start watching a show on Netflix within a week. Yeah.

Speaker 6 I'm going to be able to fulfill on two out of those three already and three out of three by next week.

Speaker 3 No, No, I was going to try. I was going to say I would join you, but I don't think I don't want to fail.
You can do it. No, I don't want to fail.

Speaker 3 I already set my goal last week or yesterday of saying I'm going to do a respect list once a week, but maybe monthly, but also probably yearly.

Speaker 6 But you said, you didn't say when you were going to do it. Right.
You're going to start doing it so it could start at any point.

Speaker 3 And it could be, yeah, it could be yearly.

Speaker 6 You know what the best goal is of all time if you just don't have any

Speaker 4 objectives in hockey?

Speaker 6 No, soccer is the most dangerous speed. Yeah, yeah.
If you say,

Speaker 6 I'm going to start drinking more water. Yeah.
And then if you just have like a glass of water, boom.

Speaker 3 Done. Checkmate.
Other cool throwing. Jake just showed me that his phone wallpaper is a picture of him and Warlin's man.
I mean, him and the foul ball guy. It's not my wallpaper.

Speaker 3 I have a picture with him. Let me see.
Let me pull it back up. You like went and found him?

Speaker 9 No, I saw him on the subway.

Speaker 3 And you thought that those videos were cool.

Speaker 6 That's cool in this video.

Speaker 3 Was this pre-U Bar School? Yes. That's perfect.

Speaker 6 God damn it. I love you, Jake.

Speaker 3 That's so perfect. Yeah.
You're You're like, dude, I've watched your, I watched it. Yeah, I watched the videos.
I like them. I like the tips that you had on getting the foul balls.

Speaker 9 Well, not the text, just like the behind-the-scenes. Right.

Speaker 3 But there were a lot of tips in it. Yeah, there are a lot of tips.

Speaker 3 When he drops his glove that's like attached to the string and he pulls it up.

Speaker 3 And he puts a water bottle in between the gloves so it like traps it. Something like that.
Yeah, no one in the world. This is the thing.
Like I used to be like, oh, foul ball guy, he's annoying.

Speaker 3 He's, you know, elbowing people. And then I realized something.
You respect greatness.

Speaker 6 He's number one on the respect list you will never see a foul ball guy again like foul ball guy no ever do you think he'll probably have a kid just to get more foul balls yeah just to bring to the games and and teach his son or daughter how to get more foul which one do you think he wants

Speaker 6 a son or a daughter to just as a prop to collect more balls i feel like a daughter wearing like a full kit yeah maybe a seeing eye dog a puppy foul ball puppy yeah compassionate like whatever they call it yeah he'll probably get into that yeah is that it hank good job hank Hold on.

Speaker 4 Great job.

Speaker 6 Thanks. My hot seat is golf and the way that people are paid out for winning golf tournaments.
Uh-oh.

Speaker 6 Because there's a, I'm probably going to absolutely butcher the explanation of this, but there's a bonus structure that's going to reward the biggest stars in golf.

Speaker 6 That it doesn't matter how you finish in the tournament for that weekend. It matters how much fan engagement and sponsor engagement you drive.

Speaker 4 So it's basically

Speaker 6 it's the Max Homer rule.

Speaker 3 Wait, so we can make them money?

Speaker 6 We can make them money

Speaker 6 and they could potentially pay us back.

Speaker 6 So that's my cool throne was going to be us because we can play both sides of this coin very easily.

Speaker 10 Whoa.

Speaker 6 So they're saying in the explanation, it said it's going to be given to players that drive engagement like Tiger Woods. So Tiger's probably going to be collecting checks even if he's not playing.

Speaker 6 And then they said.

Speaker 3 I mean, there was a lot of engagement a month ago.

Speaker 6 Yes, tons of it. Yeah.

Speaker 6 His driving ability was just - it made Bries and DeShambeau look look awful. And then Ricky Fowler, he's on the list too.
They're really disrespecting Max Binaki by not mentioning it.

Speaker 3 So we need to get, this sounds like a scheme that will probably get us in trouble, but will be lucrative for a short period of time.

Speaker 6 I don't think you can get in trouble for defrauding the PGA tour.

Speaker 3 I'm going to agree.

Speaker 6 I think that public sentiment would be a good idea.

Speaker 3 The way you said it, I'm going to totally agree.

Speaker 3 The way you put that

Speaker 6 sport is based on the honor system. Right.

Speaker 6 So if we just sign a card at the end of every show, like underneath, if we put a picture up on our Twitter accounts saying, like, we certify that we are not gaming this system, they have to trust us unless there's video evidence.

Speaker 3 And I think we've actually had this conversation with our lawyer, Mr. Portnoy, who's that's another guy we've got to get on again because it's been a while.
But

Speaker 3 is it a scheme or a fraud if you just admit it out loud? Because we're telling everyone what we're going to do.

Speaker 6 Yeah, we've asked him that question.

Speaker 3 I think he said a lawyer.

Speaker 3 I think he said, go ahead.

Speaker 6 Yeah, he's like, go ahead, but I want nothing to do with it.

Speaker 3 Right, which means really go ahead and slide in, you know, pass us some money in the back.

Speaker 6 We are absolutely going to do everything that we can to get Max Homa this extra money.

Speaker 6 Brooks will do it on his own. Yes.
I'm sure. Max might need some help from us.
Yes. Wait, we're going to be nicer to Max.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah. Meh.

Speaker 3 I think Max likes where he's at. He likes the little fucking ball busting, you know.

Speaker 6 You remember, like, this was probably 10, 15 years ago when they talked about doing the original Super League, which was the Tiger Tour.

Speaker 6 They were saying Tiger could just break away from the PGA Tour, host his own tournaments. This is kind of like that, but for John Daly.

Speaker 6 John Daly could show up and collect all this money every single week.

Speaker 3 I think he's still, doesn't he still have an exemption at like wherever he won the... Didn't he win a U.S.
Open? No. He won it.
Maybe it... Did he win a Open Open?

Speaker 6 Yeah, he won a US Open, right? I think it was Britain.

Speaker 3 Scotland.

Speaker 3 He has some exemptions somewhere, I want to say, that he. I think it was the British Open.

Speaker 6 Kirdach, Finn Barnrat.

Speaker 3 He'll also be another one. Finbarnrat.

Speaker 9 That's the guy you guys want on the show. He's the one who.

Speaker 6 He's going to be making a lot of money off.

Speaker 6 Like each vape, you know how they have like... Britner Scotland.
We wish that they would show how much each putt's worth at the end of a tournament. Every time...
What's his name again, Jake?

Speaker 9 I think it's pronounced Afi Barnrat.

Speaker 3 1995 Open Championship at St. Andrews.

Speaker 6 Affie Barnrat. Every time he blows a sick cloud, they should show us how much money in PGA tour buzz cash or whatever they're going to call it he's making.

Speaker 3 Yes. Two majors.
Two majors. What was the other one? 91 PGA championship at Crooked Stick and 95 Open Championship at St.
Andrews. That's what I was thinking of.

Speaker 3 So maybe he, yeah. So maybe he gets a, I don't know how the exemptions work.
I kind of like that idea that like, like Freddy Couple is going to be playing the Masters forever.

Speaker 3 All right. My hot seat is.

Speaker 3 My favorite kids' show, Bluey, which I have talked about a couple times before.

Speaker 3 If you're not watching it, if you have kids and you're not watching it, well, you're stupid. But you actually might be on...

Speaker 3 You might be good because there was an article that kids cartoon Bluey criticized for not having disabled, queer, poor, gender diverse, or dogs of color, prompting important debate.

Speaker 6 Aren't they blue healers?

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's dogs. It's a show about cartoon dogs.

Speaker 6 Are the dogs?

Speaker 3 It's a show about cartoon dogs. Okay, and they don't show any dogs of color.
It's a show about cartoon dogs. Okay.

Speaker 6 No poor dogs?

Speaker 3 It's a show about cartoon dogs. It's crazy.

Speaker 6 Can dogs be rich?

Speaker 6 Actually, yeah,

Speaker 6 there was that one Chinese lady that left

Speaker 6 all of her money to her dog.

Speaker 3 I just

Speaker 3 I just love that idea that it's like, well,

Speaker 3 I wasn't represented at Bluey.

Speaker 3 Well, none of us were because we're not dogs.

Speaker 6 It's a show about dogs.

Speaker 3 Cartoon fake dogs. It's eight minutes an episode.

Speaker 6 This is actually probably the world's richest dog right here, the Doge.

Speaker 3 Dogecoin. Although Doge Day.

Speaker 6 I was sold a bill of goods about Doge Day today.

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 6 Everybody was just saying Doge is going to go to the moon today.

Speaker 8 I packed my bags.

Speaker 3 I could never see that happening. Damn.

Speaker 3 Fuck. And then my cool throne is the Bengals jerseys because they didn't really change them.
Yeah. That was the lamest.
Like, hey, look at this. Like, what? I can't.

Speaker 3 Look at Joe Burrow's fucking scars is really the takeaway. Did you see that quote, though, he had? Holy shit.
I got to find it. It was awesome.
This is a, oh, damn, that is a huge scar. Whoa.

Speaker 3 He is, it's the anti-Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 3 quote.

Speaker 3 Not to bash Trevor Lawrence, who we're rooting for, but he said, if I died without scars, that just means I did nothing worth fighting for.

Speaker 3 I think that was the brave heart, too. Pretty fucking cool.

Speaker 3 Battle scars. Damn, that's fucking insane.
That thing, you got to get a tattoo on that. Yeah, or

Speaker 6 the jerseys, like on the socks, they should have a tiger stripe where his scar is. Yeah.
Add an extra stripe to it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but the jerseys were not different.

Speaker 6 They weren't really. I actually think that since it's well known that the Bengals' ownership is the

Speaker 6 thriftiest, shall we say?

Speaker 6 They're the most uh careful with their money of any of the major franchises and they uh they probably just took the old uniforms and had somebody remove some of the stitching yep and they're like look it's a minimalist design we deconstructed the old jerseys to give it a cleaner feel I was the only thing that I got out of this the Bengals jerseys is I think the NFL in the next two years, I'm going to call my shot, is going to change the one shell only rule so that there can be multiple different helmets all year long, and it's going to be sick.

Speaker 3 That will be a big time like fans win with all the cool helmets. I agree.
Because

Speaker 3 the Bengals all whites, like those need white helmets. Yes.

Speaker 3 They have to have it be amazing.

Speaker 6 Billy, what kind of tiger is that?

Speaker 3 Bengal.

Speaker 4 What? What?

Speaker 6 The white tiger?

Speaker 3 The Siberian tiger?

Speaker 11 They're white Bengal tigers.

Speaker 3 Really? Albino.

Speaker 7 I don't think there might not be able to have it.

Speaker 3 There should be more tigers of color, I think, in the NFL.

Speaker 6 That's true.

Speaker 3 If you're a tiger and you watch

Speaker 3 NO is probably watching it and being like, what the fuck?

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 11 I might be crazy, but I think it's the NFL PA that doesn't want the multiple helmets for breaking in new helmets.

Speaker 3 Either way, I'm just calling my shit.

Speaker 6 They'll probably figure out a way.

Speaker 6 And I think that if it was going to make enough money for the NFL, Roger Goodell could have figured out a way to spin zone.

Speaker 6 The whole like, it's not as safe.

Speaker 3 There'd be so many cool ways.

Speaker 6 Never really stopped him in the past. Yeah.

Speaker 3 All right, Billy, your hot seat cool thrown.

Speaker 11 My hot seat is Joey Bosa for being extremely horny on TikTok. Ooh.
He was seen using a massager on himself on TikTok

Speaker 11 and with a TikTok model, Jenna Berman.

Speaker 3 I think it's his girlfriend. Yeah.

Speaker 6 What do you mean a massager?

Speaker 11 He was literally just like using one of those magic wander guns.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Oh,

Speaker 6 so what's so horny about that?

Speaker 11 He was using it on.

Speaker 11 It was just really awkward video.

Speaker 3 Billy, can you describe his girlfriend for us? Was it hot?

Speaker 9 Were you turned on?

Speaker 11 No, it was

Speaker 11 just Joey Bosa.

Speaker 11 Looks like a very respectful person.

Speaker 3 Yeah? Yes. Okay.

Speaker 3 Cool thrones.

Speaker 6 I don't understand why this is a hot seat for Joey Bosa.

Speaker 11 Me neither. Because he was being a weirdo and using the massager on himself.

Speaker 6 Okay, so you'd rather him be like a certain quarterback and go out there and pay somebody else to do it?

Speaker 3 No.

Speaker 6 Anyway, I'm all in favor of robots taking Masseus' jobs if you're an NFL player.

Speaker 11 It was a funny video. Look it up.

Speaker 3 My cool thing. Look it up.
Is

Speaker 6 cool records getting broken.

Speaker 11 The underwater bench press record was broken.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 11 It's basically this Russian dude just took a bench press, put it underwater, and repped it out 77 times.

Speaker 11 We had the previous record of 62 times.

Speaker 8 How much weight?

Speaker 3 Only 110 pounds.

Speaker 6 But does that weigh more underwater?

Speaker 3 No, less.

Speaker 3 So I'm like...

Speaker 11 That's more of just a holding your breath thing.

Speaker 4 Right, like a Navy SEAL.

Speaker 3 So I'm kind of, you know,

Speaker 3 in the back of my head, I'm like, I could do that, I could break that record.

Speaker 3 Worst case scenario, you drown.

Speaker 7 Exactly.

Speaker 3 Fill up the studio with water and test it. Exactly.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 I think we could probably find you some sort of a tank to practice weightlifting in.

Speaker 3 That would be sick.

Speaker 11 That break the record.

Speaker 7 I'm going to find more of these dumb records.

Speaker 3 And let's break them.

Speaker 11 Exactly.

Speaker 3 Summer plans. Okay.

Speaker 7 And

Speaker 3 you, of all people. Yeah.
You need more plans.

Speaker 3 Well, I have no plans this summer. Yeah, that's true.
That is true. uh jake your hot seat cool throne hot seat is frozen yogurt uh what demi lovato

Speaker 9 she uh is not happy with the positioning of the toppings at a certain shop and she called it triggering and harmful of the positioning of low fat and low sugar options near the checkout counters and she took it to instagram i don't understand she like i think i have no idea what's happening in the world no what what is what what is this show what's going on yeah this is a real story.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I don't understand this.

Speaker 3 I think it was that she wanted to be like diabetes ice cream. Yeah, but she apologized.
Oh, okay, so we're all good. No matter what we're all good.
I'm fine.

Speaker 6 Good. I'll move on.

Speaker 6 I'm not going to carry that weight around. I did get Halo Top last night.

Speaker 3 That's good. I was so guilty.

Speaker 6 I was wondering if that's problematic.

Speaker 3 Okay. I don't know.
I think it's disgusting.

Speaker 3 Fair. It's like the most, like...
You're almost eating ice cream, but you're totally not. Correct.

Speaker 6 You know what it was? I saw the video that Big Cat tweeted out of the waffle waffle being turned into the ice cream sundae and I watched it and I was like, I really want an ice cream sundae right now.

Speaker 6 And then I went to the ice cream store's website on Seamless and I was like, you know what?

Speaker 6 I have an opportunity with a click of a button to not do as much damage to my six-pack that I'm sculpting for myself. Yes.
And so I went with Halo Top and I regretted it, but it was still something.

Speaker 3 It's like just shaved ice. You know, whatever.

Speaker 3 Whatever.

Speaker 3 I would rather just have real ice cream. Fair.

Speaker 9 Cool thrown is AFC Richmond because Ted Lasso is coming back July 23rd.

Speaker 3 That quickly. Yeah.
Fucking show. Great show.

Speaker 4 Great show.

Speaker 6 And within an hour of that announcement, the Super League disbanded. Yep.

Speaker 3 Right. Can't help us.

Speaker 9 Richmond not part of that group.

Speaker 6 Are they an actual team?

Speaker 3 I don't think so.

Speaker 3 I love the colors. I love the kids.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 They are fictional, but yeah, that is great. That's exciting.

Speaker 11 Billy? Spins on the Super League was promo for Ted Lasso come back out.

Speaker 3 Ooh. Get everyone more into soccer in the world.
I like that Billy.

Speaker 3 Americanized soccer.

Speaker 6 I wouldn't put it past him because it was during the Apple Awards or whatever it is.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 6 The showcase for the new Apples.

Speaker 3 He's going to come on before the season two. Jason Sudakis?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I would agree.

Speaker 3 He's a big-time AWL.

Speaker 6 Huge.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 6 I mean, it just makes sense. I just want the kit.

Speaker 6 Really, that's all I need. I'm sick of seeing other people get mailed kits.
And I've yet to receive an AFC Richmond kit.

Speaker 3 Do you know that he's dating a woman in England?

Speaker 3 No.

Speaker 3 Uh-oh. Jason Sudek is dating a woman in England who was

Speaker 3 a magazine model named Keely.

Speaker 3 Isn't that crazy? That's the name of the

Speaker 6 show. Is that art imitating life or life imitating art?

Speaker 3 Yeah. Real ones know who Keely Hazel is.
She's OG.

Speaker 6 Top Bun City.

Speaker 3 Been around forever.

Speaker 3 Okay. I'm missing something here, but that's all right.
No, you're not missing anything. I really just wanted you to put an ice cube on my erection.
Bonk.

Speaker 3 We don't talk about that enough.

Speaker 3 Yeah. We did.
We talked about that.

Speaker 6 I felt like I was taking crazy pills when it did kind of just get slid under.

Speaker 3 Is it the ride or die guy?

Speaker 6 And it was like,

Speaker 6 how did, what was the process of elimination?

Speaker 3 You guys are PFT. You were a father.
You guys understand how it is. Wow, that's fucked up.
The only real weird stuff with animals going on this show.

Speaker 3 Wait, what did you say, Billy?

Speaker 11 The only real weird stuff with animals going on the show.

Speaker 3 Whoa. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Billy.

Speaker 6 Hank, I just, I do want you to walk me through your decision making when

Speaker 6 you saw your dog with a giant boner. What did you, what ideas did pop in your head where you're like, no, I'm not going to do that.
Instead, I'll put an ice cube on his penis. All right.

Speaker 3 You want my fucking thought process? Here we go. Yeah.
Boner pops out.

Speaker 3 Big ass dick just fucking hanging on the couch. I'm watching a movie.
I looked at him. He was standing still and I said, I'm just going to keep watching this movie and not even pay attention to you.

Speaker 3 And hopefully next time I look over, your bone is gone.

Speaker 6 This is how girls feel in the morning. 10 minutes later.

Speaker 3 10 minutes later,

Speaker 3 I look over and he is in the same exact spot, has not moved and is looking at me with the saddest, like, help me eyes you've ever seen. So my fatherly instincts kicked in.
Yep. And I googled it.

Speaker 3 I had Googled it in the past that this is what people do. Either put him in a bath.

Speaker 3 You didn't even have to finish the sentence because it was auto-completed because you'd already done it?

Speaker 3 No, I didn't even have to google this time because i already had the knowledge stored from last time and it was like so yahoo answered it was like put him in a bath and i was like that's way too much effort i'm gonna have to dry him off and too sexual i'll just get an ice cube out and you know so it came from your own brain yeah i audibled and they did it go up instantly and the ice cube probably melted halfway through oh my god

Speaker 3 that was a hot boner I don't, you guys, I got you guys would do any of anyone listening that's fucking questioning this would do the same thing in this situation. I said I had your back on Twitter.

Speaker 3 I said you were a ride or die guy. Like

Speaker 3 if your son had a bone in the house.

Speaker 3 Hank, I don't know this too.

Speaker 6 I think you just you need to invent

Speaker 3 like a spark for his penis.

Speaker 6 Or like dog shorts. Because it's out of sight, out of mind.
You don't care if he has a bone or you just don't want to see it.

Speaker 3 You just don't want him ragging all over the place. Trojan tantrics things.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 Get him a dog fleshlight.

Speaker 3 All right. get to

Speaker 3 Julian Edelman. Before we do that, PFT, you had a quick word.

Speaker 1 What's up, guys? It's Big Cat here, making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey. How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

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.
Mix it up with some ginger ale for a 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 So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 8 Now, here he is, Julian Edelman.

Speaker 3 Okay, we now welcome on our very good friend,

Speaker 3 future Hall of Famer, which we can talk about. It is Julian Edelman, fresh off retirement.
I think we're the first show he's doing. I'm just going to say we're the first show he's doing.

Speaker 3 It's great to see you. We also, Jules, we got a little news about what he's got going on next, which is going to be great for him.

Speaker 3 That will actually be released on our Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, everywhere, because it can't be released until a little bit later on Wednesday, but we're excited for that.

Speaker 3 So we'll have that for everyone. But Jules, great to see you.
Congrats on a retirement.

Speaker 3 How mad are you at us for asking you about retiring when you were totally thinking about retiring last time you were on in January?

Speaker 13 Not at all.

Speaker 3 I mean, when you come on the show,

Speaker 13 when you come on here, you know, nothing's off the table.

Speaker 13 And

Speaker 13 I was just laughing in my head like these motherfuckers.

Speaker 3 So you knew.

Speaker 6 So you lied to us. Yeah.

Speaker 13 I did not lie to you. I just, I was, there was, there were two roads that I was looking at.
One was,

Speaker 13 you know, plain and one was not. And I tried to go down the plane road and it just, I couldn't do it.
I can't do it right now.

Speaker 3 Looking back, I do feel a little bad because I think if we had thought about your reaction a little more, it was clear that you're like, what the fuck?

Speaker 3 Like, who have they talked to that this is even maybe on the table? So I apologize for that, but a create, a great career nonetheless.

Speaker 13 Thank you. Thank you.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 I joked about the Hall of Fame, but it's obviously not a joke.

Speaker 3 Do you see any of that shit? Like, do you see the debate?

Speaker 3 Because I got mad for you that people were diminishing your career just because they were framing it in a Hall of Fame and not just he was really fucking good.

Speaker 13 I mean,

Speaker 13 you see it out there. Yeah.
You definitely see it.

Speaker 13 But it is what it is.

Speaker 3 You know?

Speaker 13 Are you guys going to make the podcasting Hall of Fame?

Speaker 6 Ooh, I don't know. It's tough to say while we're still competing.

Speaker 3 Right now, we're just I know, but it's one way at a time.

Speaker 13 Are you guys systematic podcasters? I don't know.

Speaker 13 Do you guys are, is it because

Speaker 13 Dave's going to come over here and he's the guy that's, you know, started this whole thing? I don't know.

Speaker 3 Right.

Speaker 13 These are all the type of the questions that I ask when I think about, you know, I think you guys are Hall of Fame podcasters.

Speaker 6 Yeah, well, I mean, we might send Billy down to Tampa for a year and then can we do it without him?

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 13 You know, you guys, when the moments are the toughest, I've always heard the best takes come from you. Thank you.
When someone needed, when someone, when you needed a take in an absolute moment.

Speaker 3 But does it take?

Speaker 6 But, Julian, does it matter that as podcasters... Your stats aren't there.

Speaker 3 Your stats aren't there. Yeah.

Speaker 3 If you look at the...

Speaker 13 You're not Howard Stern.

Speaker 3 I mean, we're not there. But you know what?

Speaker 13 The takes are there.

Speaker 6 So if you look at the longevity.

Speaker 6 Right. Like Howard Stern's a great example.
He compiled a lot of stats because he had a super, super, super long career. But there are moments that it was big, like right around the Super Bowl,

Speaker 6 later on in the season. That's when Big Cat, me, and Hank could be counted on to really step up.
And sure, you know, we, we only, you know, we had some injury issues. We both had kidney stones.

Speaker 6 We've missed some shows here or there. But do you think that that should be counted in judging us in the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 13 I'm a guy that, you know,

Speaker 13 When I go to do something, I just go to win. And I just want to win.
I didn't grow up thinking about a Hall of Fame. I didn't grow up about, I grew up thinking about hosting a Lombardi trophy.

Speaker 13 So, like, to me, I really don't know. But, you know, me to you guys, you know, I think that of all the

Speaker 13 things that you guys have done,

Speaker 13 I mean, there's a lot of great things there. Can you tell the story of podcast without you guys?

Speaker 3 I can't.

Speaker 13 I cannot tell the story of podcast without you guys.

Speaker 3 So, here, I mean, I don't want to toot our own horn, but we're not going to quit podcasting because we like bump our knee a little bit and get a little owie.

Speaker 13 Yeah, but I mean, say you guys take a little too much Adderall, you're

Speaker 3 too spinny,

Speaker 3 you know,

Speaker 3 you're walking down home and

Speaker 13 you slip and you hit your head, and you know, you can't think as well. I don't know.

Speaker 3 Would you want, or would you, would you want to go out on talk? Would you guys want to go out?

Speaker 13 I don't know these questions. I'm just, this is theoretically speaking.

Speaker 6 Yeah, so what about if, like, if Hank suffered an instant or if Liam got hit by another card god forbid and he wanted to get back into podcasting and he thought that the best way to get his brain back maybe he would take a little performance enhancing drug to be able to rejoin the show to come back and win another title do you think that should be held against him in his hall of fame resume you know what

Speaker 13 that's a tough one that's a tough one I would say no.

Speaker 6 I would say you want to be out there with your guys. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Hey. No days off.
You want to be out there with your guys. Yes.
Yes.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 you're retired. You are retired.
But

Speaker 3 how long do you think, how many years do you think you'll be rumored to be going to the Bucs? Because Tom Brady's going to play for 10 more years.

Speaker 3 So I'd assume your name will be floated out there every single year that they might need an extra weapon.

Speaker 13 How many years? I don't know.

Speaker 13 Probably is, honestly, probably as long as he's playing.

Speaker 3 It's just going to be.

Speaker 13 But also the thirst level. If I'm throwing out a couple of thirst traps out there and I'm looking like I'm in shape, I mean, it could go crazy.

Speaker 6 If like something happens and Scotty Miller sprains an ankle, your name will be trending within five seconds.

Speaker 13 Completely different player, but yes.

Speaker 10 Right, but you know, you get it.

Speaker 6 Did you see the video that was out there of Belichick when you returned your first punt for a touchdown and Wes was on the sidelines right next to him?

Speaker 6 And Bill asked him, hey, you know who Wally Pip is?

Speaker 6 He's a guy that got replaced by Lou Gehrig and then Wes Welker was like yeah well he can have the punt return job if he wants it that's fine did Bill ever say anything to you like that when Gunner first got on the field

Speaker 13 no

Speaker 13 never

Speaker 3 did he look at you differently

Speaker 13 no

Speaker 13 he's like this is an old hat would you we don't need this would you have said I don't know man I've I was always in gunner's corner you know I've always been gunner's you know I give gunner all my tips tips.

Speaker 13 And, you know, it was kind of like,

Speaker 13 you know, I would compete again. I'm still competing against him, but like,

Speaker 13 you know, we're different, different parts of our career then. You know, I was 12 years in when Gunner got in and or 11 years in.

Speaker 13 And that was when like Wes was like seven years deep and he had it still going. So, you know, it was, it was different.
We also had a different relationship, me and Wes. It wasn't the same as

Speaker 13 and Bill probably saw that. He probably was, you know, digging at him a little just to get out under his skin to try to get him to play his best.
That's what Bill does. He gets the best out of guys.

Speaker 3 Yeah. You should root for Gunner because I'm pretty sure Gunner's next two years count for your Hall of Fame career.

Speaker 3 Just like everyone just combined Wes Welker's last few years with your career. So you should be rooting for Gunner because enough years go by and everyone be like, yeah,

Speaker 3 he was sick that 2021 year with Cam Newton.

Speaker 3 Yeah,

Speaker 13 we'll see. We will see.

Speaker 3 So you brought up thirst trapping. I know a lot of times guys will say, oh, I'm going to miss the locker room.
Will it be thirst trapping that you miss the most?

Speaker 3 Because I would imagine your body's not going to be in great shape.

Speaker 13 A good old thirst trap definitely holds a spot in my heart.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 It's like, it's between number two and number three, Lombardi.

Speaker 6 It's like one, your first one your last one thirst trapping then your middle one maybe yeah I would say that this might actually help your thirst track trapping career because you get to focus on all the glamour muscles that you might not have had as much time for when you were you know just getting into football shape yeah

Speaker 13 you know it's the running when you run a lot that's what that's what keeps you cut and when you can't run

Speaker 13 I don't know.

Speaker 13 This is a whole new territory for me, guys.

Speaker 13 If I come out here in like six months and have full dad bod,

Speaker 3 that's what I'm rooting for. I'm absolutely rooting for you.

Speaker 6 I want to see you get fat, and then we can make fun of you, and then you can get thin again.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that would be bully you.

Speaker 6 Yeah, that'd be the best type of thing.

Speaker 6 That's like, that's America's story right there.

Speaker 13 You know, get someone down, and then

Speaker 13 cut them down and get them back up.

Speaker 6 Let's do podcasting 101.

Speaker 3 What is your knee like at just in general of like walking pain? Are you going to the gym? Like, you have to. I mean, we can't have Julian Edelman get fat.

Speaker 3 As much as I want to, you know, you got to be out there doing, like, hey, happy Father's Day. Here's a picture of me shirtless.
Hey, happy Mother's Day. Oh, here's a picture of me shirtless.

Speaker 3 You know, like, that, that shit has to. Hey, Merry Christmas, guys.

Speaker 3 Oh, whoops. This is me at a pool.
Happy Yon Kapoor. Yeah, right, right.

Speaker 13 But

Speaker 13 yeah, we're going to keep, we'll keep some stuff going. Hey.
You know,

Speaker 13 we got a workout routine going. And

Speaker 13 my knee, I mean, it's just, it's different you know like

Speaker 13 it's it it just doesn't function the way it wants to you know when when you're bone on bone and you're missing things in there like

Speaker 13 you don't want to run right right it's one of those things where

Speaker 13 you not only don't want to run you really can't so

Speaker 13 finding a way to

Speaker 13 fill that void is going to be

Speaker 6 you know my next life work you need a hobby we need to we need need to figure out what your hobby is because

Speaker 6 i mean you've told us so many times like what your workout routines would be like how like you would be you it's like cliche to say the last person out but you would be working out all the time during football season you need to fit find a hobby that can fill that void might i suggest frisbee golf disc golf excuse me

Speaker 13 do you you have to walk it yep bang chains baby I mean, let's see. Let's see how the shoulders are with the rotator cuffs.

Speaker 13 Maybe we'll get into that.

Speaker 3 Ooh, those are are bad too.

Speaker 13 We're 13 surgeries deep right now.

Speaker 3 Yikes.

Speaker 3 Again, I mean, I'm not saying like PFT

Speaker 3 had surgery on his foot. I got bit by a dog.
We didn't quit. But whatever.
That's fine. That's your prerogative.
That's fine. No, I have a serious question, though.

Speaker 3 So obviously it sucks. having to retire, having the end of the road.
But is it a silver lining? Like, you just know you can't do it instead of

Speaker 3 i physically can do it but i'm not the same ability that i was because i feel like that would be hurt more if you were physically feeling okay to do it but just weren't as quick or shifty this is really like hey it it can't happen like i can't my knee cannot do it no it

Speaker 13 it's almost satisfying because i left everything on the field honestly like

Speaker 13 You know, I'm not a greedy guy. What else do I have to play for?

Speaker 13 I set out to go out and make a team, try to win some championships. And honestly, I've accomplished everything plus more than I ever thought I would have going into my rookie year.
Like,

Speaker 13 if I were to, my rookie year and look on to my career and say, this is what it's going to be,

Speaker 13 I would have said, nah, no shot.

Speaker 3 Right.

Speaker 13 That's how much work I had to put into this whole thing.

Speaker 13 And, you know, it's something where I'm proud of my career. I'm proud of everything.
I'm proud of the relationships, you know, the teams I've been a part of. And,

Speaker 13 you know,

Speaker 13 father time is undefeated. And, you know, that's just how it goes.
And I'm not going to go out there and try to play on something where

Speaker 13 you look like a bobblehead out there, like a 36-year-old old guy lacing up the knee brace, the back brace. You know, I don't want to have that.

Speaker 13 I don't want to look like that. I respect the game too much.
It's been too good to me.

Speaker 13 So, you know, it's one of those things where if I can't go out there and be the player that i know i am in this league and that i've been for you know a consistent period of time

Speaker 13 you know i have no problem walking away because you know i enjoyed the time that i did have in this league

Speaker 6 the way that you're talking right now you're actually making a great case for yourself for the hall like peter king is going to listen to that answer and be like this guy gets it julian gets it he gave to the sport yeah more than the sport gave to him yes you should say that you're going to have peter king do your induction speech if you do get into the hall.

Speaker 13 If I ever do, one of you guys will do my induction speech. It'll be a duet from you two.

Speaker 3 We would be like,

Speaker 3 so Julian, not really a Hall of Famer when you put him up against Reggie Wayne.

Speaker 3 Where's Heinz Ward? Why hasn't he been inducted in?

Speaker 6 I would just point to people in the audience and be like, that's John Madden down there.

Speaker 3 That's amazing. What's up, Groots?

Speaker 3 It would be sick.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Yeah, you're never going to get in if that's your answer.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah,

Speaker 3 they will get to strike for that.

Speaker 6 Um, if you if you're looking back, though, at your career, because you had a lot of amazing moments, obviously, like winning the Super Bowls, getting the trophies.

Speaker 6 Is there one moment or one play that you think of, and you're like, I'm the most proud of that play?

Speaker 6 Not necessarily your best play, or the one that we all have seen in highlights a lot, but like, is there one play where you're like, That's who I was as a football player?

Speaker 13 I loved the third and 14 against the Seattle Seahawks

Speaker 13 getting, you know, when Tom hit me laid across the middle and Cam Chancellor, you know, put, you know, put a little heat on me and hit me hard.

Speaker 13 And, you know, that whole week going into that game, all we kept on hearing was the Legion of Boom, the no-fly zone, the this, the that.

Speaker 13 And, you know, that, that was a cool moment when, you know, I knew I got his best. And I was able to get up and go and then, you know, make a play in the next couple plays.

Speaker 13 Like, you know, like that, hey, we're here to play. This is

Speaker 13 we may not be the flashy you know you know skill position group we're not the legion of boom we're not this which i have nothing but respect for those guys those guys were studs earl thomas sherm

Speaker 13 freaking chancellor but you know that was that was like one of the things that was that was my play that i i love that i you know that's that's that's hard nose football right there that's what i always you know when i transferred to receiver it was always can you make the catch over the middle yeah You know, and that was the catch over the middle in the biggest moment, you know.

Speaker 13 So those were, that was a fun play. And then I'd say my favorite memory would probably have to be when we went to Kansas City and won that game in 18.

Speaker 13 You know, just the sheer fact that my generation of Patriots, we never won on the road in the playoffs. And that was our first task going to the road.

Speaker 13 And we got beaten Denver twice by Denver, close close games, last plays of the game.

Speaker 13 And,

Speaker 13 you know, to go into Kansas City, which that place gets rocking, and that team's a really good team. And,

Speaker 13 you know, to go in and get that W

Speaker 13 against

Speaker 13 the odds of that game. And it was special.
That's a special one. The flight home.

Speaker 13 You know, those are what you're going to miss, you know, the flights. And, you know, that was a fun game.

Speaker 3 So you just said your favorite play uh hank texted us he said uh a concussion was his favorite play were you concussed in that play the third and 14 everyone thinks i was but nah i wasn't concussed you got smoked i got smoked i definitely got smoked um

Speaker 13 the thing is on the punt return right before that i don't know if it was that one i i took a hit pointer and i've said this on on air before i took a hit pointer and i could i could barely walk like but like when a play goes especially in a super bowl like everything there's no pain but in between plays you're like oh shit that hurts oh no that hurts all right said all right and then we go

Speaker 13 and so like after that i mean i was tired we were going no huddle like we it was a pretty big play

Speaker 13 and i was like trying to get up and dull is right there and you know i couldn't my hip pulled on me you know i i don't think i had a concussion do you remember getting hit?

Speaker 6 Yeah. Like you remember the actual hit and how I remember actually, you know, I remember because it was 10.

Speaker 13 It was X stock 10. And I had the outside.
I was the F. I had the 20-yard in cut.
And they were playing a P coverage, meaning they were dropping a guy. So Tom was going to have time.

Speaker 13 They're given, you know, they were given eight defenders in the secondary, basically.

Speaker 13 And so I was running late across the middle and I was 20 yards downfield.

Speaker 13 and I knew that someone, anytime you're going late across that middle, especially that deep, you got to start thinking about the post safety.

Speaker 13 And they're, they, you know, that's their whole thing is they run that cover six, which you guys will learn, whatever. So I'm going late across the middle and I look at Tom.

Speaker 13 I kind of saw a chancellor. So I knew if you see the play, I brace for the hit.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I'm watching it right now.

Speaker 3 And for context, for people who don't like remember it off the top of their head, it's 11 minutes left in the Super Bowl, and the Patriots are down 10 on their own side of the field

Speaker 3 in third and 14. So if you don't catch that ball,

Speaker 3 maybe he punts. I mean, you probably punt because you got three timeouts, but that it might change everything.

Speaker 3 It might change history there if you don't catch that ball and you're forcing a fourth and 14 on your own 30.

Speaker 13 Yeah, no, it was, it was, you know, it was a big part of the game. And, you know, that, you know,

Speaker 13 that's what you try to do. That's what you try to, that's why you lace them up, man.
You dream for those moments.

Speaker 3 Yeah. So along that line, like, I think

Speaker 3 not to keep going with the Hall of Fame thing, but you obviously were huge in the big moments and the clutch moments. Do you, we always have had this discussion about the clutch, Gene.

Speaker 3 Did you feel like in a big moment, like, things got slower for you or it's like, I just know I'm going to come through. I know that I'm going to make a big play here.

Speaker 3 And like, did you feel that with Brady?

Speaker 13 There were a few moments in my career

Speaker 13 where you feel that like that zone where things are going slow. And

Speaker 13 in some parts of that game in Seattle, I felt that.

Speaker 13 In a very small amount of parts of the game in Atlanta, I felt that. And then like all the game against LA, I felt that.

Speaker 13 But like those key moments and those zone moments you get, I always felt like I got those through like the weeks of preparation or like, especially with like the Super Bowl week, you get two weeks.

Speaker 13 And like,

Speaker 13 like, I feel like the first one we got there, I was so nervous and I didn't, I wanted to go out and be able to make plays. So I made my routine,

Speaker 13 I sharpened my routine. I did everything that I did during the regular season, plus more.

Speaker 13 And Bill does a great job of, you know, he does a really good job of making practice hard. I know everyone says, oh, well, it's just practice.

Speaker 13 But when you're doing things in practice in certain situations, he'll just say in the middle of a practice, all right, it's third and 14.

Speaker 13 There's woman and you go, you have no timeouts, and you have to get to here, like, like in between a period. So, like, he's putting that on you right there.
And it's a competitive period.

Speaker 13 And if you can go do it in practice, and you've done it in practice a few times, you're subconsciously already, you've already done it. So

Speaker 13 that's how I thought. That's how I've always dealt with those situations and those times in my career that like you're really zoned in.
it was always after those weeks of practice that you like

Speaker 13 you had those plays like i remember when tom hit me on that one play

Speaker 13 where it was the tip ball and we caught it i knew that guy was coming to me because we hit that play like three times in practice that week so regardless if i was covered or not he was coming to that play because we're confident in what we saw that week in practice you know so like that's how it always happens so along those lines i mean everyone always says one of the great things about Tom Brady is that he'll throw to, he'll throw to the open guy.

Speaker 3 Like he won't play favorites. If you're open, if you can get open, he'll throw to you.
But were there moments where you were, would say to him, like, yo, I'm in the zone.

Speaker 3 Like, I will, I will catch whatever you throw to me. Like, get it to me.
I'm that guy.

Speaker 13 We definitely had some times and some moments where he would just look at me and we would do something completely that like we weren't supposed to do. And the coaches used to get on us all the time.

Speaker 13 Like, all right, like, I know you guys got it, you guys are doing what you guys do, and we can't say anything because you guys execute. Because like that, coaches get mad with that kind of stuff.

Speaker 13 Right. Go and do your own thing.

Speaker 13 And there'd be a couple times where like he would give me, you know, a signal or it'd be a quick out.

Speaker 13 And

Speaker 13 I knew he saw that I couldn't run a quick out here because this is nothing there. And I knew that he saw that we were backside and a slant would be wide open.

Speaker 13 I would just run a slant and this guy would hit me on the slant. We'd go 15, 20 yards out the gate on it.
Like that happened over in a Miami game in one of those heat games.

Speaker 13 We ended up losing the game. I know we won that game.
It was a late game, but that was in like 14 or

Speaker 13 2013 or something like that. We're like, there'd be times where we would just kind of do our own thing.

Speaker 13 And because of the years that we had off the field where we would go to Montana or we'd go to UCLA, we'd go to all these places and we would run the same play, which you could do like five different things on that same play according to each coverage that you get.

Speaker 13 And we would have our like some of our you know friends that are out there helping us like just try to cover like two or three guys try to cover me and like even though they don't know how to cover they could cover area and he could read body language and I could read his body language.

Speaker 13 I could see what he would want. You know, those things helped us when we were to get into games.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's that shit's fascinating.

Speaker 6 I've always wondered if you watch if you watch the film of a Super Bowl after it's over. Like, do you sit down as a team and ever break that down?

Speaker 6 Or is it just one of those games where it's like, what happened is the end of the season, we're going to wait till next season to start over again?

Speaker 13 You don't, because once you're done with the season, you know, like, there's no more like film corrections or anything, especially after that game, you have the parade, you have this, you have that, and everyone breaks.

Speaker 13 But then, like, when spring comes and all of a sudden they'll have a cut up of plays, installation, installation, because that's what spring is.

Speaker 13 You're installing the offense basically for all the new guys, and

Speaker 13 you know, whatever.

Speaker 13 Like, you'll get a play from here, a play from there, and then you'll get a Super Bowl play, and everyone's ears kind of get up and shoulders go back, and like, look.

Speaker 13 And the new guys that didn't involve, weren't involved in the Super Bowl, are sitting there, like, man, they're in the Super Bowl, or like, you know,

Speaker 13 that's when you see it, you know, but you never really watch it as a team.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 What did Coach Belichick say to you when you were like, all right, this is the end of the road? Did he text? Did he call? I hope he called.

Speaker 13 No,

Speaker 13 we had a wonderful conversation on the phone. And,

Speaker 13 you know, he just, he, he, it was a, you know, he thanked me and I thanked him. And,

Speaker 13 you know, I'll leave, I'll leave the words between us, but like, it was, it was something that was,

Speaker 13 you know, it really touched me. And because

Speaker 13 You know,

Speaker 13 he's a man of few compliments because that's his shtick.

Speaker 13 You know, know his thing is i don't care who the hell you are you're on the table to get mf'd if you don't do your job which i always needed that i loved that my dad did that with me growing up like i it was a tough love thing where i what i grew up with and so like to you know hear coach say that some of the things he said i mean that was you know that that really made my uh

Speaker 13 my my my farewell

Speaker 6 did he uh he like read off your home address he's like julian you still live at this location and you have uh this many people living with you.

Speaker 6 And just want to make sure that as you advance your career, you keep everything that happened in New England between us.

Speaker 13 No, no, he didn't say any of that.

Speaker 3 Did Ernie call you?

Speaker 13 No, Ernie, I haven't talked to Ernie.

Speaker 3 Oh, no.

Speaker 3 No, Ernie did not. No, go ahead.
Tell the Ernie story. Ernie, Ernie's story.
Tell an Ernie's story. You wanted to tell an Ernie story.

Speaker 13 Well, Ernie's the kind of guy, bro.

Speaker 13 Like, Ernie is

Speaker 13 Ernie comes into the facility and like we have like our cafeteria and every day you'll see Ernie.

Speaker 13 He's an early bird or he'll just be sitting at a at a lunch table with a with a huge ass like heirloom tomato.

Speaker 13 That's all he has in his hand and he's had like a fork and knife and he'll just be eating the tomato.

Speaker 3 And I'm like,

Speaker 13 I always like bust his balls like, hey, the tomatoes in season right now. Like he'd be like, yep, yep,

Speaker 3 they are.

Speaker 13 You know, like, he's not a real big talker unless you talk football. And, you know, over the years, we've had an awesome relationship.

Speaker 13 And I always bust his balls on what he used to wear and stuff because he wears like, he was wearing these plaid suits from like 1970, like, in like 2009, 10.

Speaker 13 And then they came back in like, what, like 2014, 15. And then I'd be like, Ernie, man, you've been wearing that thing through the trendy.
He goes, they never went out of style.

Speaker 13 You know, like, he just has these little witty comments

Speaker 13 that that are that are awesome, man. And I'm going to miss him for sure.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 Are you going to miss doing the hype videos before the games? Because you were addicted to those as much as you were for doing the thirst traps.

Speaker 13 You know what? I loved.

Speaker 13 So that all started back in high school. Like, I was the kid who, after the year was done, I worked at this place called the Rikes Center.
which it was a training facility.

Speaker 13 It helped you like your speed and stuff, but it also had like a film studio, like editing studio, this, that.

Speaker 13 So, I would always make all like the team highlight tapes after the season and like throw it on with some like AC DC. And

Speaker 13 so, that's where that all developed. But, um,

Speaker 13 I mean, you got to throw a hype. Hype video will always be there, man.

Speaker 6 You can do hype videos for your thirst traps. Yeah.
Like, show you getting ready to make the thirst trap and then have it all culminate in like one click of a camera with your shirt off.

Speaker 13 Yeah, let me think about that.

Speaker 3 How many times would you watch one of your hype? You were really good at them. I know you have a staff, but some of them were incredible by the end.

Speaker 3 Would you watch them yourself, like over and over and over?

Speaker 13 I would be part of it. Like, sometimes I would be like, yo, I want this here.
I want this.

Speaker 13 And like, I had the last, the last, you know, the last

Speaker 3 button.

Speaker 3 Which one was your favorite?

Speaker 13 I liked the cartoon ones when we were doing the cartoon ones back in 18.

Speaker 13 the what was our cartoonist guy's name? Frazier Monday. Frazier? Yeah.
Yeah, this Frasier.

Speaker 13 We found him and we got in contact with this guy and he made like this Rocky one where like I was climbing the mountain or the one with like the arrow and he, you know, and I caught the arrow and like looked it in the eye.

Speaker 13 And like, I've always been a fan of a huge, like awesome montage, like a 90s,

Speaker 13 late 80s movie montage, Rocky, Cobra,

Speaker 6 you know all those that's just i love those i loved like music and guys training that could it could be a a a good little transition for you you said you need a hobby you could direct other guys hype videos you could put them together you could be a writer of hype videos well you guys started as writers and then make became podcasters right yeah maybe yeah so who's one guy in the nfl right now that you would like to produce a hype video for

Speaker 3 hmm and why is it jameis winston

Speaker 3 I like

Speaker 3 he could use one too. Like, I feel like I saw that video that was going viral where he was like, you know, I was the number one pick and then everyone shit on me.

Speaker 3 I think he might, he might win a Super Bowl with enough of your hype videos.

Speaker 13 Yeah,

Speaker 3 I'm probably going to,

Speaker 13 I'm not going to go with, with, with, with, with Jameis on that one. I'll let him do his own hype videos.
Um,

Speaker 13 who would I give a hype video video to?

Speaker 6 DK. DK would make for an awesome hype video.

Speaker 13 Yeah, but he's already hyped.

Speaker 13 I want a guy that's not hyped.

Speaker 3 Scotty Miller?

Speaker 13 Scotty Miller could be a good hype guy.

Speaker 6 Get your foot in the door with Scotty Miller.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so that you can cut him in the back. Yeah.

Speaker 3 You could just swap out like this next year's Super Bowl. Scotty Miller looks a little bit like Julian Edelman.
Or you just

Speaker 3 kidnapped him.

Speaker 3 You go with the burrow.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6 We could get you doing bros. bros.
I was just going to add on to come back.

Speaker 13 You need the comeback hype.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 13 You know, you know, it's kind of like Eye of the Tiger. You know, you're back in the streets.
You got to, you know what I mean?

Speaker 13 It's, you, you've been trading what you really want for, you know, the glory, and then something happens, and then now you got to get back on your horse and fucking get back on top.

Speaker 13 So, like, that's the story I always liked.

Speaker 6 I like that. You're passionate about that.

Speaker 13 I don't want the guy on top. I want the guy that's on the bottom.

Speaker 3 Andy Dalton.

Speaker 3 andy dalton

Speaker 6 come on i think i think we get started with the joe burrow hype video because i can tell you're passionate about it you already got the soundtrack for it with eye of the tiger it sounds like he's a knee guy you're a knee guy knee guy to knee guy it seems like a perfect fit although if you did do the scotty miller one you could like add in like very sneakily a couple clips of him dropping the ball into his hype video and don't tell him about that and that way when it comes out it's like hey scotty miller really drops the ball a lot i wonder if there's anybody else out there that could play.

Speaker 6 But I like the Joe Burrow one. I like that idea.

Speaker 13 Me too. I like them both.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 3 Who's your favorite teammate?

Speaker 13 That's so tough, man.

Speaker 3 Give us one. And then your least favorite, obviously.

Speaker 3 We need both. You could actually, I mean, you could

Speaker 3 say Aaron Andez.

Speaker 3 Easy way out. That's an easy answer.

Speaker 13 It's tough, you know, like it's tough for your favorite. You have like

Speaker 13 a group of guys that you came in with, a group of guys that you're around.

Speaker 13 You know, Matthew Slater,

Speaker 13 you know, he, he was, we lived together for a long time.

Speaker 13 And, you know, him and his family have been an unbelievable influence on just me. You know, I'm a wild man.
Everyone knows that. And Matt is like literally like, the reverend.

Speaker 13 And we had like two polar opposite sides of everything. And like we lived together.
And, you know, when times were like,

Speaker 13 you know, at its lows, my guy would always help me mentally. And he would always be the guy.
And,

Speaker 13 you know, when times were high, he was the one to remind me, like, yo, this is where you came. You know what I mean? So like, I loved him.

Speaker 13 Matthew Slater is, you know, he'll be a brother for life.

Speaker 13 You know, the Rob Ninkoviches, we used to get after it. Danny, when he came into the picture, he was always an unbelievable teammate.
James Devlin, like when James Devlin, he was an ultimate teammate.

Speaker 13 This guy would just his, he didn't say much, but he would be in the weight room and

Speaker 13 he'd have his smelling salts, his chalk.

Speaker 13 He'd be all braced up to squat and

Speaker 13 he'd hype you up when you were getting in there. Like, you know, and he was just always a class class teammate.
Tom, of course, I mean, I love Tom.

Speaker 3 Who?

Speaker 3 Brady. Oh.

Speaker 13 he's been

Speaker 13 he's been you know he's been he's been like an older brother for me and but he was always kind of like you know he was the older brother that

Speaker 13 you know you you didn't you hung out with them but you had like your little slap dick friends too that like before you were cool enough to hang out with your older brother that you hung out with so i always you know had those guys and there's so many more um i noticed you didn't mention gronk

Speaker 6 interesting gronk Why do you know there was why did you and Gronk have a falling out?

Speaker 13 We never had a falling out. It's just, you know, Gronk, Gronk was like,

Speaker 13 he legit was like having just a big old teddy bear at work every day. So, like, you know, I would be an intense guy always.

Speaker 13 A lot of the time. I'd be a jokester too, but like, I was very intense.
And to have that, like, you know, to have a guy like Gronk who the game just came so easy this guy was like just

Speaker 13 having fun like

Speaker 13 you'd see him in the corner of his locker like playing with like a tape and like like laughing and like

Speaker 13 you know you needed that you definitely needed that so

Speaker 3 i think we should put that your description of james devlin there that should be part of your hall of fame resume because you the excitement that you had there to explain someone getting ready to like go to war at the squat rack.

Speaker 3 That's a football guy. Like, you, I could see in your eyes, thinking about him just lifting got you excited in the moment.

Speaker 13 Well, you know, James, James came from a very similar story, man. Like, he was, he was defensive lineman at Brown.

Speaker 13 He was like a DN or something, and he worked his way to becoming, you know, one of the best fullbacks in the game. Like, we live and died by James.

Speaker 13 Like, he did so much for this team, you know, in in the special team game. Like, and he,

Speaker 13 you never heard anything from him, you know. And

Speaker 13 there was times where, like, I'd be sitting there and I want to say something. Then you look at a guy like James who

Speaker 13 he doesn't ever touch the rock or anything. And this guy is like just gun-ho, excited to be there.
Coffee, let's go, wait room, smelling salt. Like, that's, that's James Devlin.

Speaker 13 and those are the guys that you're going to remember.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 6 That one play they had in the Super Bowl, I think it was against the Rams because he had to block Indomicon Su, and he laid a lamb on him, and you could tell like he knew that he was about to get knocked out in that play.

Speaker 6 He was going to get run over, but he was like, you know what? I have to do this, and I'm just going to like, I'm going to run headfirst into this guy. And it worked.
It worked.

Speaker 6 You had a couple big blocks in the Super Bowl, too. How come people don't talk about your blocking ability?

Speaker 13 I don't know, man. I just do what the team asked me to do.

Speaker 6 I love it.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Put that on the resume.

Speaker 13 You know, it's,

Speaker 13 I mean, that's a huge part. Like, I remember, and that's a huge reason of that, of our blocking as New England receivers was because of Chad O'Shea.

Speaker 13 You know, when I first got there, Chad O'Shea just, he just got there. I believe he's in Cleveland now.
He went with Flores to Miami as the OC, and then now he's the receiver coach at Cleveland.

Speaker 13 But like, Bill would always just say two things to the receiver. You just get open and catch the fucking ball.
That's what you do as a receiver. All right.

Speaker 13 And then we'd go in the room and Chad would be like, and compete in the run game.

Speaker 3 And we're competing in the run game. You know, you catch the ball and you compete in the run game.

Speaker 13 And, you know, like, it was just, you know, I had guys before me that were, that were

Speaker 13 awesome blockers. And so that's what that's what you learn when you're a younger guy.
And, you know, you got to be, you can't be afraid to go in and block. It's an effort thing.

Speaker 13 And, you know, and James Devlin, he's the type of guy that motivated you, too, because

Speaker 13 he craved head injuries. This guy wanted to go knock himself out.
That's when he knew he had a good block.

Speaker 13 So when you see a guy like that, then you're like, man, I got to go do the same thing.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 So we're going to,

Speaker 3 like I said at the start of the interview, we know what Jules got going on next.

Speaker 3 We're going to put it out on all of our social, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, everywhere, when the announcement can be made. So make sure you check that out.

Speaker 3 But I know what you're going to be doing next.

Speaker 6 He's going to be Jack Easterby's hype man.

Speaker 3 Jack Easterby's hype man.

Speaker 3 The way you're talking right now, is there any chance maybe coaching?

Speaker 13 Absolutely. You know what? No, probably not.

Speaker 13 You know,

Speaker 13 I have too much, like,

Speaker 13 I want to have a life.

Speaker 13 Like, I've lived this now for 12 years, like literally 14-hour days. Like, like get up 4:30,

Speaker 13 get to the facility, 5:15, body work, workout, ball drill, meetings, practice, more workout, more meeting, like, and the coaches are there for like 18 hours.

Speaker 13 And the sheer fact that I've seen this group do that, if I were to go somewhere else and not do that, then I'm thinking like, all right, I'm already in the hole because I don't feel like doing that anymore.

Speaker 3 You know what I mean?

Speaker 13 Which I'll probably end up transferring and doing that in the next life.

Speaker 13 But like right now, like, nah, I have no interest into it. Maybe like,

Speaker 13 you know, I always tell the scouts, if you need a guy in LA to look a guy or receiver, work them out. And look, I like, because I always say, like, what are we doing?

Speaker 13 Like, let me look a guy in the eyes and I'll tell you if he can play or not.

Speaker 13 That's what it is. It's in the huddle.
When you're in a huddle, like, there's false eyes and there's, there's not.

Speaker 13 Like, you need to be able to look a dude in his eyes and like really see if that guy, if he's ready for when it's going to come.

Speaker 3 Yeah, who had like that answer?

Speaker 6 Who had the best huddle eyes? Whose eyes were the readiest?

Speaker 13 Brady's got insane huddle eyes. Brady, because you know, I mean, he's already got like the, you know, Zoolander, like blue steel, like look.
And like, he give you that eye and like, Joel, let's go.

Speaker 3 I'm like, yeah.

Speaker 3 We gotta clip that.

Speaker 3 I think that was like every, that was Julian Oman's entire career right there summed up in a second and a half yeah you know the funniest eyes would be gronk gronk would be like looking at you like

Speaker 13 that's the one guy who's got a great poker face you you just don't know where it's going

Speaker 13 size and you think like is gronk tired or what's going on and then he'd have like a 50 yard catch and like like be six guys and he'd come in like i'm a little tired after that one

Speaker 13 and then he'd go like stiff arm like three guys yeah

Speaker 13 The heck of a time.

Speaker 6 Billy, you have any questions for Joel?

Speaker 3 Well, yeah, let me do the last question.

Speaker 14 Dude, the pro football football show is presented by the Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 15 Built for the hustle, ready for the game.

Speaker 14 Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck. Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready.

Speaker 14 Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done. Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 3 So, my question is going to be pretty hard-hitting.

Speaker 13 Let's hear it. I always, hey, I'm telling you right now, my guy knows some football.
I hear your takes, Billy. I listen.
I hear your takes, buddy.

Speaker 3 I appreciate it. Football and frogs.

Speaker 11 So, many Belichick disciples have been hired as head coaches outside of the Patriots. And why haven't they been able to recreate the Patriot way outside of Foxborough?

Speaker 3 Good job, Billy.

Speaker 3 Throwback question.

Speaker 13 It's hard to go in

Speaker 13 and try to be Bill Belichick without being Bill Belichick.

Speaker 13 You know, you can't just go in and demand,

Speaker 13 you know, the respect and put like this crazy,

Speaker 13 you know, work schedule and this schedule and,

Speaker 13 you know, attention to detail and the practice like intensity. Like you have to kind of massage that in for a group that has never really had that.
You can't just go and demand it.

Speaker 13 you know bill can literally

Speaker 13 you know bill's coached in the league for 40 years you know he started with the baltimore colts bro like he's been around this he's seen every position every type of player like in the thousands so like it's hard for a guy to like not it you can't just go and try to copy what he does it's not going to be you I think that's that a lot of it has to do with that.

Speaker 13 A lot of these guys, you know, they go in, they try to be a a hard dick or they try to be this and they try to, you know, they try to do everything that Bill does. You can learn a lot from that.

Speaker 13 And I don't know. I had never played for another coach.
And I'm not saying it could have been different. There's different circumstances with everything, but

Speaker 13 I don't think you can just go and demand

Speaker 13 a team like you're Bill Belichick unless you're Bill Belichick.

Speaker 6 Yeah, good answer. Good answer.

Speaker 3 What was your question, Billy?

Speaker 6 Was there anything that he ever tried to do, like a new wrinkle that he tried to add or a different way of doing things around the building where he recognized that this way wasn't working and had to like walk it back and be like, I tried something new, it didn't work.

Speaker 6 Let's go back to the old way.

Speaker 13 Yeah, there was a time where like

Speaker 13 we were we were talking about like team unity or something

Speaker 13 and like guys started putting cornhole in the in the locker room. And then like we ended up like losing a game or something and we go right in.
There's no more cornhole. So it was gone.

Speaker 3 You know, like,

Speaker 13 you know but bill does a great job he's evolved man he's he's an evolver that's why he's been able to stick around and do the things that he's done i mean you know having tom brady has obviously helped a lot as well but uh

Speaker 13 you know he he's very in tuned with evolution like i remember when it was 2000

Speaker 13 you know like 14 and like he bring in you know, a bunch of the like a group of leaders and like he broke down to us like, all right, guys, this, we got a new generation of guys.

Speaker 13 This is what, you know, like, this is how they're learning in college. This is what we're going to have to end up evolving to.
This is how they, you know, they're not just like this.

Speaker 13 They're, they're guys that are going to be like this, and they've been on this. And,

Speaker 13 you know, so he's always thinking about that.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 I mean,

Speaker 3 I do think that, like, a Belichick and a Sabin, we joke about how set they are in their ways and how old they are, but they do clearly do something when it comes to the evolution of, you know, how they think and what they're changing year to year.

Speaker 3 Definitely. You saw it in your time.
You went from, there was a time when you guys were throwing the ball everywhere, and then you became a power running team.

Speaker 13 I would, yeah, like my rookie year and then was 2009. We were, we had, we had Moss, Welker, Joey Galloway, and we were throwing a bunch.
We were kind of like lost in that whole.

Speaker 13 We were just, we didn't have

Speaker 13 really an identity.

Speaker 13 And then the next year, we got the two, we got Hernandez and Gronk, And we completely evolved the game to, you know, matchups and chess matches where, all right, if they're going to have sub-personnel on defense, we're going to, we're going to keep our 12 personnel in.

Speaker 13 And if they go big boys, we're going to spread them out. And then that became a trend now.
Look at the titan position. I mean, he kind of started that.

Speaker 13 If you think about it, he had Gronk and Hernandez. Like, that was like the beginning of that whole athletic, this tight end is like the baddest dude.
Let's do these things, you know, for these guys.

Speaker 13 So, I mean,

Speaker 13 he always builds his teams to what he has so you know that that that's what he does yeah yeah it's um so this has been awesome man again tune in 930 we're gonna drop it everywhere um what's this thing what i was hearing you guys talk this uh

Speaker 13 what billy football was talking about uh

Speaker 6 he's getting on a keto diet or something and you guys are you're getting on a meat diet yeah well billy he he cycles us on and off of diets pretty frequently but he didn't do his research because apparently keto is like the last thing that you should do if you have kidney stones which we most of this show does have kidney stones so you guys aren't doing a meat diet i i think i'm gonna do omad

Speaker 3 what is that one meal a day i was gonna i was gonna send you guys some meat this i this meat dish oh yeah okay all right yeah we're not doing the meat diet we're doing meat diet

Speaker 3 this meat dish it's insane Yes.

Speaker 13 I need it right over there by that, what is that, a Colorado Kool-Aid right there?

Speaker 3 Coors? We got Coors, yeah.

Speaker 6 Colorado Kool-Aid, we're gonna steal that one.

Speaker 3 We're definitely, we're cutting that, we're cutting that and stealing it.

Speaker 13 Being a West Coast kid, and then I went to Ohio for college, we always drank Coors Light and like that brand of beer. And then we went out, I went out there, it was like Miller and Bud.

Speaker 13 I was like, what's going on?

Speaker 3 Bleep those, bleep those.

Speaker 6 We'll bleep those. Sorry, you had to deal with that.

Speaker 3 Yes, bleep those, bleep those.

Speaker 13 Hey, man, I appreciate it, guys.

Speaker 6 Most guys have tried different ways to last longer in bed, but thinking about baseball doesn't always work. The folks at Roman, an online men's health company, are changing the game with Roman swipes.

Speaker 6 It's the secret to longer-lasting sex. Roman swipes are a clinically proven way to last longer in bed.
Hey, guys.

Speaker 10 Hey, guys. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Maybe the Super League could have used some Roman swipes.

Speaker 3 It would have lasted longer.

Speaker 6 Roman can chip swipes to you in discrete unmarked packaging, and each swipes package is small enough to hide in your wallet for whenever you need it. They're super easy to use.

Speaker 6 Just take the swipes out of the packet, swipe it on, let it dry, you're good to go. That's it.
Go to getroman.com/slash take.

Speaker 6 You can get your first month of swipes for just five bucks. Choose a monthly plan.
Go to getroman.com slash take.

Speaker 3 Okay, we're going to finish up with some FAQs. Reminder, go watch where Jules is going to be on our Twitter and Instagram, and we'll retweet it.
Fun stuff for him going forward.

Speaker 3 Awesome interview by him. Also, before we do FAQs, a little housekeeping.
Billy football, our son,

Speaker 3 I had a talk with him last night because I was getting frustrated and it was a situation where I didn't want to keep getting frustrated. So, Billy's going to go away for a month and a half.

Speaker 3 At the end of next week, he's retiring. He's retiring.
He's going to

Speaker 3 basically, I'll actually.

Speaker 6 This is much better explained as being like the rum springer, like with the Amish.

Speaker 6 Yeah, they go out into the real world, they sow some oats, Billy just wrapped up college, he's going to have fun for a couple months, come back refreshed, and at that point, Billy, you can decide whether you want to rejoin the family or be shunned for the rest of your life.

Speaker 6 Right.

Speaker 3 The way I put it is, Billy, on Sunday, he was maybe came in a little drunk, and then on Monday, he came up to me and was like, hey, I accidentally booked tickets on Wednesday. And I said to myself,

Speaker 3 I said to myself, I'm tired of being the bad cop with Billy all the time and being the guy who's got to yell at him because then I get mad at him and then it comes through in the show and people are like, don't be mean to Billy.

Speaker 3 It's like, well, he's half in, half out right now, which I understand because it's your senior year. So I told Billy, I was like, listen, why don't you go enjoy your senior year? No regrets.

Speaker 3 You can have fun. You don't have to worry about this show.
You can fucking ball out.

Speaker 3 And then when you come back in June, and I told you, pick a date that you're ready to go 100%, want it all out of your system.

Speaker 3 And then when you're back, you're ready to roll and you actually will, you know, not frustrate me.

Speaker 3 Hopefully.

Speaker 11 It's very fair, to be honest. I've been, you know, half in, half out,

Speaker 11 doing as much as I can, but also, you know,

Speaker 3 half in, half out. Yeah.
As much as you can is not true.

Speaker 11 But I also, in the next coming weeks, I have stuff like finals,

Speaker 7 senior presentations, enjoying your time with your boys.

Speaker 3 Right. Family stuff.

Speaker 7 All kinds of stuff that need exploring. Yeah, so here's the deal.

Speaker 3 Billy's going to go. He's not going to come to the office.
Next Thursday will be his last time in the office for a month and a half. He's not going to come to the office.

Speaker 3 If he wants to zoom in, he's more than welcome to, but we're not going to expect anything from him. That way, there's no disappointment.
There's no anger. There's no frustration.

Speaker 3 It's just Billy's gone for a little bit. If he wants to check in, he's more than welcome to because we love him and he's part of this show.

Speaker 3 And if he doesn't, he wants to just get drunk for a month and a half, two months, three months, whatever, when he comes back, we'll be ready to roll.

Speaker 11 I cannot wait to come back.

Speaker 3 Don't make a promise. No, don't make a promise.
You will get 100% back.

Speaker 6 Okay, as soon as school's over and your month after school is over.

Speaker 3 No, no, no. Yeah, I'm going to come back.
No, I told him.

Speaker 3 I was like, June, he was like, I'll be back June 2nd. I was like, Billy,

Speaker 6 maybe

Speaker 3 a couple weeks after that. So how about pick your date?

Speaker 11 No, I'll be back.

Speaker 6 Can you give us a report of how you spent your summer vacation?

Speaker 3 You will. You'll come back with one.
That'll be your only assignment.

Speaker 11 But I'm coming back in the beginning of summer.

Speaker 7 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah, but this is your summer vacation.

Speaker 7 Your spring's your early summer vacation. True.

Speaker 3 Spring break. So next Friday, we'll have our last show with Billy for at least a month and a half in person, and we'll do something special for it.
And then we'll send our little boy off to graduate.

Speaker 3 And then that will diffuse me having to be the strict parent with you.

Speaker 6 True.

Speaker 11 I mean, not many college kids also podcast.

Speaker 3 So there's a little bit of...

Speaker 6 Right, you're doing an incredible job.

Speaker 3 No college kids ever had a part-time job. No, Billy's right.

Speaker 6 The schedule that Billy's been forced to keep up between

Speaker 3 you guys. Yes, yes.
All right, but we're going to kick the hell out of draft week, right? Exactly. Right?

Speaker 3 We're going to maybe get some shit going for draft week. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 11 We got pot lay bowls to analyze. We got all sorts of stuff.

Speaker 8 Yeah, all right.

Speaker 3 We'll have a special draft week. I'm excited for that.
All right, let's do some FAQs.

Speaker 3 Ask Ask for some high FAQ related, given the day today.

Speaker 3 What is your guy's weirdest experience high?

Speaker 7 Weirdest experience high.

Speaker 6 I went to go see, I saw 3-11 perform on 3-11 Day one time in New Orleans, and it was my first time ever seeing them play. And when they do that show, they play for like five hours.

Speaker 6 And so being high and then getting sober and then being high again, I'm like, I thought that they played like all mixed up six times over the course of their set.

Speaker 3 anytime that you're high for longer than than five hours at a time can things start to kind of mold together a little bit and it makes it an awkward experience i would say that um i don't know if eating mushrooms also counts as being high even though it's 420 but i uh in madison i walked all the way across a frozen lake mendota and then back and on the way back collected a bunch of like wood and timber and branches and thought it was like the coolest thing ever and was like i'm gonna fucking decorate my apartment with all these branches and it's gonna be like a fucking tree house and then i woke up the next day and there was just like my whole apartment was full of trees he turned into a squirrel it was

Speaker 6 so stupid you're like a beaver so stupid yeah but it was sick i would say i would also add when i took mdma in hong kong and then i just i started laughing because carla niles was so fast and i started laughing so much that i started to cry that's beautiful because because a man was so fast on the field

Speaker 3 Hi, boys. I'm looking for advice from Billy.
Oh, he's a great one to give it out. I'm a model, and I have a casting for a national brand athletic wear company.

Speaker 3 In the video, they want me to show how hard I train when I work out. But being a model, I literally only do cardio and light body weight exercises.
How do I convince them I'm an athlete?

Speaker 3 What you got to do is you got to do burpees. Yeah.

Speaker 11 But do one really good one where you jump. like almost do a worm and then bounce up off your arms.

Speaker 11 You can do that because you're light and you don't have that much body mass and that looks super athletic. And then also do stuff like

Speaker 11 any sort of like pull-up repetitions. Pull up splice it so it looks like you're doing a bunch of them, but it's really just you doing it once.

Speaker 3 Is this a male model or a female model? Does it matter?

Speaker 6 No, because Billy was answering like it was a female model.

Speaker 3 No.

Speaker 11 Pull-ups. He says he can't do any weight training.

Speaker 3 She slash her. Okay.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 6 that you can take a hit, get tackled, and then people will be like, that's an athlete.

Speaker 3 Pull-ups is a good one, though, Billy. Pull-ups is like one of those ones where you're like, oh, that person knows what they're doing.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Not cross-fit pull-ups, though. No, not the kipping, no kipping or fucking bullshit.
Big cat, cleaning question. Do you still pee down the sink to sanitize it?

Speaker 3 I do still pee in sinks. Not often.

Speaker 3 It's more out of just like, I don't know, a little bit of boredom. A little bit of like, I'll be like doing the dishes.

Speaker 3 One thing they don't tell you is when you have a kid, there's like 17 loads of dishes every single day.

Speaker 3 So I'll just be sitting there doing the dishes, finish the dishes, be like, job well done, pee in the sink. You know, just kind of a treat for myself.

Speaker 11 If you have a dog that drinks out of the bowl,

Speaker 3 what about it? Just pee in the sink. What? What?

Speaker 11 You know how dogs drink out of toilet bowls?

Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 My house has locks on everything.

Speaker 6 Oh, so you're making sure that your dog's not drinking your pee in the sink.

Speaker 3 God,

Speaker 11 he's the one that gets forgotten about for the flesh sometimes. Understood.
Yeah.

Speaker 7 I will never know the pleasure of being in a sink.

Speaker 6 I think you have to be at least like 6'2 to pull that off.

Speaker 3 There's a small sink. We'll get you one.

Speaker 6 A private sanctuary.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we'll build you one.

Speaker 3 Speaking of high.

Speaker 6 I've been thinking about how cool would that be to just cut a hole in your wall of your apartment and you can just like piss out the wall.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Nobody would ever know. Or trash hole.

Speaker 4 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 6 It would just feel like mystery water, the air conditioning water that hits you every summer in New York, which, by the way, that's another who's back of the week is mystery water when you're walking down the sidewalk.

Speaker 3 Big time, just getting jizzed on. Speaking of high, how come some podcasts randomly go higher than you guys in the podcast ranking sometimes? Oh, does that mean they get more listeners? Good question.

Speaker 6 That's a great question.

Speaker 3 No, it does not.

Speaker 6 I think, so if you start a new podcast, your podcast is always going to be, it just goes to number one.

Speaker 3 That's just how it works. We were, we've been around for so long that we forgot, like, that also happened to us.
We also did tell everyone, like, we're number one.

Speaker 6 I was like, I'm bigger than cereal, bitch.

Speaker 3 Right. But then you realize, okay, that's not exactly how it works.
The way that the

Speaker 3 way to like realize the success of shows is episodes. So, if you go to the episode page, you can see where shows are ranked.

Speaker 3 Um, and that's why you know, we'll see the chirps every now and then, be like, oh, someone else is number one. Just look at the episodes, bitch.
They're always we're there.

Speaker 3 I mean, I think we're number three overall in the world

Speaker 3 after Monday's show. What?

Speaker 6 Well, yeah, we're usually around there. Number three in the world behind Monday's number one.
Behind both most recent episodes of Caller Daddy?

Speaker 3 Um, no, of course, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, three. I'm three, I'm talking about three overall, yeah.
Murder episodes right now. I'm looking at it.
Murdered, Sierra Jogen.

Speaker 3 Rip.

Speaker 6 See, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 Daily, a difficult diplomatic triangle. Part of my take, NFL draft with Daniel Jeremiah Super League with troops.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 3 So and then Dax. Dax Chi Dax.

Speaker 3 What's the what's Blake's fucking stupid friend's name? Dax Shepherd. Dax Shepherd.

Speaker 6 Is that like six of the or three of the top six are either our podcast or two people that were immediately on our podcast?

Speaker 6 You said troops and Daniel Jeremiah.

Speaker 3 No, no, no. That's the name of our show.
Oh, okay. Description.
Yeah, are you high podcast?

Speaker 3 Are you high? But either way, we see it. Obviously, people tweet us, tag us, whatever.
If you have a new podcast, you should take the victory lap.

Speaker 3 But also know that if we tweeted every time we were number one, we'd probably have to tweet like 300 times a year.

Speaker 6 And also, Billy, if you wanted to get murdered on your little vacation that you're going to take, and that way we could have Jake try to track down who your murderer was, that would probably do wondrous things.

Speaker 3 Can we guys do a murder podcast? Yeah, about you. Let's go.
Go listen to the case, by the way. Kirk's podcast.
Very good.

Speaker 6 I listened to the first episode. It was good.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 I'm going to binge it because

Speaker 3 my brain cannot handle not binging things. It's the worst thing that has happened with today's entertainment.

Speaker 6 I watched a documentary last night, and when it was over, I was like, is this over? Yeah, right. I was like, there's, where's episode two?

Speaker 8 Right.

Speaker 3 What was the, what was the, we know?

Speaker 3 Just we know. What do you mean?

Speaker 3 You know, shave your beard.

Speaker 3 We can tell.

Speaker 6 Oh, binging.

Speaker 3 Fuck, that was a fat joke. Yeah.

Speaker 3 The problem is

Speaker 3 I'm wearing a black shirt today.

Speaker 3 So when I wear a black shirt, everyone, like, a little life hack for anyone who's, which isn't really, everyone knows this, but like, if you're a little bit fatter and it's springtime, put on, buy a bunch of black t-shirts, and you are guaranteed to have people be like, oh, have you lost weight?

Speaker 3 It's like, nah, dude, I'm just wearing a black t-shirt. So then I forget.
that I am

Speaker 3 technically obese. So when Hank makes a joke like that, it goes over my head.
Because I'm like, dude, I look hot right now. I'm in a black t-shirt.

Speaker 6 When I saw you today, I was like, Big Cat's definitely wearing the shirt that he wears when he feels fat. But that's probably because I've known you for a while.

Speaker 3 No, no, no, tricks. No, no, no.
No, no, no. This was, if I'm really feeling fat, it's a sweatshirt.
This was the first really warm day having to wear something not a sweatshirt. Short sleeves.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 That's what this is.

Speaker 6 You look like a guy at an anime convention that's in charge of the stage lighting.

Speaker 3 I'm like a late version of Jerry Garcia when he just wore black t-shirts. Sub honk, PFT, and Big Cat.

Speaker 3 What item of food would you eat knowing you only get to eat it while you're high and it's the only food you get to eat while high?

Speaker 6 Cool ranch Doritos and salsa.

Speaker 3 That's two foods. Water.

Speaker 10 No, you don't want water.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I want water. It's the only thing you can eat when you're high.
Ice cream.

Speaker 3 Ice cream's the best.

Speaker 3 Ice cream's the best no matter what.

Speaker 6 But like ice cream's a very good answer.

Speaker 3 Ice cream is so good. Ice cream.
You know what? She's going to like wake and bake

Speaker 3 it and crush a pint.

Speaker 3 Is ice cream getting re-apexed?

Speaker 6 I don't think if we're doing like the pantheons of creams,

Speaker 6 is ice cream in the top tier? Because you got cream, the band.

Speaker 3 Yep.

Speaker 8 You've got the song, cream.

Speaker 3 The song, cream.

Speaker 6 Cash flows everything around me. You've got cream pies, the donut.

Speaker 3 Yep. Cream pies.
Cream pies, the videos.

Speaker 8 The category. Yep.
The category.

Speaker 6 And then after that, cream Abdul Jabbar.

Speaker 3 Cream Abdul Jabbar.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I think it's probably like it's probably in my top five creams.

Speaker 3 Creams, yeah. Yeah.
Cream sickle. Oh, what about

Speaker 3 Balco?

Speaker 6 The cream. Cream and the, but you need the clear to make the cream.

Speaker 7 That's true.

Speaker 3 It's like a

Speaker 6 Brady Belichick thing.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yin, yin, yin.

Speaker 7 But what's the question again? What would you eat?

Speaker 3 Ice cream. Pussy.
Yeah. Ooh.
Ooh.

Speaker 3 Bonk. Yo, I just re-watched the old Barcelon video of Big Cat and Fights in the Demo Derby Blindfolded Race.

Speaker 3 My question is, if you did it again, would you rather have Hank or Billy Football giving you directions?

Speaker 3 Billy.

Speaker 3 Not my best moment. Not your best moment.
You confused right and left a lot. I was blindfolded, and Hank had to tell me where to go, and it was a disaster.

Speaker 3 Well, it's like, whose line is like, do I go left? I was like, right.

Speaker 6 Meaning. Wait, what? It was like, whose line is that you were doing a you were doing a bit?

Speaker 3 No, well, that's how it played out. It was just kind of a shit show.
Again, not my best moment.

Speaker 3 We were facing the same direction, by the way. Right.
Right.

Speaker 3 So we had the same left and right.

Speaker 3 Has any other media member ever got mad about a joke you said about them? Oh, good question.

Speaker 3 Great question.

Speaker 6 Rappaport did not like Leroy scooping him on the Gronk news. That's right.
He texted Big Cat, was like,

Speaker 3 why is everybody being mean to me online? Yeah.

Speaker 6 It's because a dog fucking beat you to the biggest scoop of the summer, bitch.

Speaker 3 Everyone was going after. I'm trying to think, who else have we.

Speaker 3 Well, I mean, I guess Rick Petino would be.

Speaker 3 If it is him that's stalking me and PFT now, that would be it. I mean, this is not your content was all.
Oh, yeah. I mean, he's a fucking weenie.

Speaker 6 He's such a fucking weenie. Did you see the Kyle Pitts thing?

Speaker 3 No. Nope, nope, nope, nope.
All right, last one. Okay.
Thank you, Nick.

Speaker 3 That's our producer, baby.

Speaker 6 I mean, it's all time. I can't believe this.

Speaker 3 No, no, no. I saw it.
Yeah. There we go.
Are we going to get to see Coach Douglad the Wisco to a national title this summer when we're stuck with just baseball for three months? Ooh, I don't know.

Speaker 6 What do you mean stuck with just baseball?

Speaker 3 Show some appreciation in the Olympics. The beautiful sport.
I think here's what I'll say about Dougs.

Speaker 3 At some point in at some time,

Speaker 3 somewhere, he'll come back, but it won't be when you expect it.

Speaker 3 That's it. It'll just happen.
And it'll just be like, hey, I'm doing...

Speaker 3 I actually, you know what? I'll say this, hey, because we discussed this. The one-day stream.
That's what we'll do. The one-day full-season stream.

Speaker 3 Where it's just like, fire it up, play a full season, and that's it. So we'll do that at some point, somewhere, sometime.
Who knows?

Speaker 3 Numbers. 37.
32. 8, 18.
73.

Speaker 3 73 from Bubba. 8, 8, 8.

Speaker 13 Billy?

Speaker 6 I said 32.

Speaker 3 Animal Fact? 32. 30.
Oh, 99. Oh, nice cooler.
We got a new cooler. Holy shit, that thing is awesome.

Speaker 6 That's the course cooler.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Melado Kool-Aid cooler.

Speaker 3 99.

Speaker 6 Yeah. T-Rexes could actually do push-ups with their arms.

Speaker 11 Because they could, like, push up.

Speaker 3 No, no.

Speaker 11 They actually would get up using those. Where is it?

Speaker 3 71.

Speaker 6 Oh, Bubba is so close.

Speaker 3 Damn, this looks so nice now that we're not like on a...

Speaker 3 Also, shout out Billy. He cleaned the studio.
I came in and after, because we had that talk yesterday, I was like, oh, Billy showed initiative. And then Hank was like, no.
