Will Zalatoris, Actor Barry Pepper, A-Rod/JLo split up and Fyre Fest Of The Week

Speaker 1 Hey, pardon my take, listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.
Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Speaker 2 Lucy is the obvious choice for a true nicotine pouch connoisseurs. That's why they're official nicotine pouch partner of Barstool Sports.

Speaker 2 They go up to 12 milligrams in strength and have unique shape that feels great.

Speaker 2 We all use the breakers. They're the only pouches with a hydration capsule inside.
They're a totally new kind of pouch, only available from Lucy.

Speaker 2 You pop it in your mouth, break it with your teeth, and it's instantly hydrated, releasing that nicotine faster, and it's a burst of flavor. No other pouch has that, I promise you that.

Speaker 2 Gas station pouches get the job done, but once you've tried Lucy, you won't want anything else in your pocket.

Speaker 1 On today's part of my take, we got a two-fer

Speaker 1 Friday and a little just free form. We're going to chit-chat.
We're going to have some fun with the fellas.

Speaker 1 We have Barry Pepper on, who you probably know as the sniper from Saving Private Ryan. He's actually been in a ton of other movies.
He also sat next to us in the Mayweather McGregor fight.

Speaker 1 One of those interviews where we did it, not really expecting much, and came out of it being like, holy shit, that guy's really cool. Couple audio issues, like once or twice, one of his answers,

Speaker 1 like one word gets cut out. But awesome, awesome interview.

Speaker 3 It also inspired me to watch Saving Private Ryan. Yes.
I've never seen it before.

Speaker 1 Really? Great movie. What'd you think? Oh, you haven't done it? I haven't done it yet.
I'm watching this weekend. Okay.

Speaker 1 He kills like a million people.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 He is a badass.

Speaker 1 And then we have Will Zalatoris on the show, part of our golf crew now.

Speaker 1 Seamlessly fits in. Really cool guy.

Speaker 1 We're going to talk about that. We got more stuff.
We got Fire Fest. Let's have a little Friday show.
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 4 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 4 Now in the streets, there is violence.

Speaker 4 And then a lot of some work to be done.

Speaker 4 Low place behind a low washing.

Speaker 4 And then I can't aim all on the sun. Oh, no.
We're gonna rock down to electric avenue.

Speaker 4 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 4 Oh, we're gonna rock down to

Speaker 1 It's part of my take presented by

Speaker 1 spools.

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take presented by Coors Light and Coors Seltzer. Go chill this weekend with a Coors Light or Coors Seltzer.
Today is Friday, April 16th.

Speaker 1 And Love is Dead.

Speaker 1 Love is Dead. Again? Again, Love is part due.

Speaker 4 I feel like A-Rod is breaking up just for the clout these days.

Speaker 1 Hey, listen, we don't break up shame.

Speaker 1 I'm not laughing.

Speaker 1 I just need to. His Instagram story is just...
It's all time. Did you know?

Speaker 4 So, in this Instagram story, the way he's got it set up, it's pictures of like J-Lo and her daughters

Speaker 4 lying down on baseballs. Pictures of A-Rod and J-Lo.
And then... The coup de grace, the best part, is he put like a box of Kleenex down there to imply that he's crying.

Speaker 1 I hope that someday you feel even one, I can't listen to this anymore, one-tenth of the love that A-Rod and J-Lo felt. J-Rod, America's favorite celebrity couple, and Love is Dead.

Speaker 4 Well, how lucky

Speaker 4 has J-Lo and A-Rod been to have something that they cherish so much that it hurts so badly when it's taken away?

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's truly the test.

Speaker 1 It is truly the test. Would you rather never love or what is it?

Speaker 4 It's better to have loved and lost than to never loved at all.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there it is. That's it.

Speaker 1 I just like to use this for inspiration.

Speaker 1 Hey, Rod, he did have an Instagram story where he was playing this song as PFT was mentioning what was in it. And it did remind me of Michael Scott not paying for the full song.

Speaker 1 Yes, when he was just at his computer playing that on repeat? Well, in that scenario, Fray, I think.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that was like James Blunt or whatever.

Speaker 4 In that scenario, Jan was breaking up because she was sleeping with her assistant Hunter, the younger assistant of the company. Yes.
Big Cat, would that make you the Hunter?

Speaker 1 Yes. Have you and

Speaker 1 she's been utterly repulsed by me?

Speaker 1 Like, truly, like,

Speaker 1 you know, when you could actually physically see someone throw up a little bit in the back of their mouth, that's usually the look. And I don't blame her because she's J-Lo and I'm me.

Speaker 1 But yes, I am sad. I think they'll remain friends.
And, you know, things just happen. things

Speaker 1 love love is a hard game guys.

Speaker 4 Love is a tough game. I think we need to take a rod out for boys weekend.

Speaker 4 I agree tear it up get hit the tanning bed cheats Maybe get a makeover get a lift in MJ beer box with coconut water all the all the a rod stuff.

Speaker 4 Yeah, we'll fucking do it feel like his divorce party would be kind of like that scene in Zool where they all just get into a jeep and start slamming Starbucks and

Speaker 4 they weren't gasoline fight.

Speaker 1 They weren't married, so it's not a divorce.

Speaker 4 The engagement call-off party.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right.

Speaker 4 Listen, he's a businessman. He's married to the Timberwolves now.
That's his first love.

Speaker 1 Listen, that is actually a great, not, I'm not going to say consolation prize, but you know, sometimes you break up and it's like, hey, thank God,

Speaker 1 yeah, gonna go by, yeah, right, exactly, Hank. Good, good.
Here's another one.

Speaker 1 They didn't ever have to get to the point where they even had to have the conversation of whether or not to invite me to the wedding. Because clearly they would have had that conversation.
Definitely.

Speaker 1 And also, yeah, like sometimes you see a guy break up and he goes and buys a sports car. Well, what's tired buying a sports car for your midlife crisis, wired buying a fucking NBA franchise.

Speaker 4 Vika, you've got insight into A-Rod's mentality a little bit.

Speaker 1 I sent him a text.

Speaker 4 Is he pretty much a writer for the New York Post? Or do they have to type out the stuff that he leaves at the voicemail?

Speaker 1 He does the voice notes. Okay.
Which, by the way, is a new trend.

Speaker 4 Because he treats the New York Post like Derek Jeter treats the player distribution. Yes.

Speaker 1 It's basically A-Rod's blog. It's his...

Speaker 1 There's a trend. I don't know if this is just one of those things that just makes me feel utterly old, but I saw a couple people

Speaker 1 tweeting screenshots of their text messages, and it's all just audio messages, which is a phone call.

Speaker 4 That's fucking crazy.

Speaker 1 It just does it sometimes. It's accurate.

Speaker 1 It's just, this is how we,

Speaker 1 like, oh my God, this is how we text. Anyone else do this? And I've seen a few people do this.
It is just a string of audio messages sent back and forth. That's a phone call.

Speaker 4 Every time I see that pop up on my phone from somebody, I just assume it's a mistake.

Speaker 4 Yeah, like they accidentally hit it in their pocket and it's just the sound of like, I don't know, a gum wrapper rustling around.

Speaker 1 I also like don't, I play it and then I can't hear it, and then it deletes automatically, like it's a fucking James Bond or something. Cyberdust.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, let's move on from Heartbreak because I don't know how much more breaking my heart can be.

Speaker 4 We'll just play the song one more time. Okay, hold on.

Speaker 1 We'll just pick it up from there. Skinner feels.

Speaker 1 The other big story we had today.

Speaker 1 Wait, wait.

Speaker 4 I can't move on just yet. I need to hear Cole play one last time.

Speaker 1 Okay, hold on. Oh, fuck.
I got to reload it now. Oh, no, there was going to play.

Speaker 6 Hold on, let's listen to this 15-second ad.

Speaker 1 Oh, this is actually kind of a good vibe.

Speaker 1 The other story we had today is: is Lamarcus Aldrin a Hall of Famer?

Speaker 1 Nah.

Speaker 1 Hang on, hang on.

Speaker 4 Let me just.

Speaker 4 Be strong.

Speaker 1 You know.

Speaker 1 I'm going to say this right now.

Speaker 1 People bash Coldplay. I guarantee you,

Speaker 1 like, if you don't listen to Cold Play, you're a loser.

Speaker 4 You know, it would be an all-time flex if Jay.

Speaker 1 Like the original Mass Dragons.

Speaker 4 If she bought the New York Mets.

Speaker 4 If she invested in it.

Speaker 1 From Stevie? Yeah. From

Speaker 1 Stevie C. I.
Cold Play is one of those bands that just for everyone decided, like, oh, we'll make fun of them because, you know, yeah,

Speaker 1 they sit in the piano and they do the English accents. It's always raining and sad.

Speaker 1 They have some songs that are like jams. Oh, yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 They've got probably like six or yellow.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Strawberry Swing is one of my favorite Cold Play songs. Obla D.
Yep. Viva Lovita.
Viva Lovita.

Speaker 3 Thank you. That guy's voice is angelic.

Speaker 1 What's his name again? Chris Martin. Apple Martin.

Speaker 1 No, no.

Speaker 1 Their son with Gwyneth Paltrow is Apple. Gwyneth Paltrow's

Speaker 1 vagina. Vagina goop.
Yes. Yep.

Speaker 1 I didn't know that until right now. How about that? How about Gwyneth Paltrow, like having a very good

Speaker 1 career as an actress, and then you just make a shitload of vagina goop and then you're the vagina goop leader?

Speaker 4 She's selling various things that smell like her vagina.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's just like you, you didn't need the rebrand that you took.

Speaker 4 What she did was somehow she's making good money not from horny guys. It's mostly from women that are like buying Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina candles.
Right.

Speaker 1 I would buy her if I needed one. I don't, but I would.

Speaker 3 You know, needs one.

Speaker 1 Don't say J-Lo. A-Rod.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 We're respecting their privacy, okay?

Speaker 1 All right. Other stories.
Lamar Zaldris did retire. That was sad.
I do feel bad for him. A regular heartbeat, which, how long did he have it for?

Speaker 4 Arrhythmia. He got it once he got to New York.

Speaker 1 Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Well, I don't know. I guess he was just diagnosed with it, but it's probably pretty serious.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a scary thing to have.

Speaker 4 Him and

Speaker 4 the goaltender, Hank, Henry Lundquist. He had to basically retire from that, too.
Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I didn't even know.
We lost Henry Lundquist to Marcus Aldrin and Prince Philip all in one week. Yeah.
Wasn't Lundquist in like the Capitals at one point?

Speaker 4 Yeah, he still is, I think, technically a Capitol.

Speaker 1 His eyes are still gorgeous.

Speaker 4 They're beautiful. His hair is fantastic, too.
Yep. All facts.
Bonk.

Speaker 1 And then Ronald DeCunha is truly the face of baseball, just hitting. We actually have,

Speaker 1 you know what the debate is that we had?

Speaker 1 You were correct that there was going to be a load management, but now we have a real debate. Ronald DaCunia and Luka Doncicz, are they both the faces of their respective sports?

Speaker 1 Are sports, are basketball and baseball in a great spot now because they have the next heir apparent?

Speaker 4 You know what they have? They both have a young crop of superstars ready to take over the league. And so I think we kind of nailed the composition of like the face, the ass, the quads of baseball.

Speaker 4 Tony LaRusso should be the liver of baseball. We missed that one big time.

Speaker 4 Mike Trout should be the chin in the neck of baseball.

Speaker 1 Yep. Shout out Carlos Redon for the no-hitter that should have been a perfect game, but he hit a batter with two outs.

Speaker 1 I love whenever we get a perfect game or no hitter and then we get the rules of baseball because there was the slide into first base that everyone was like, that's Bush League.

Speaker 1 My opinion on no hitters and perfect games, I think you should get to do anything to try to break it up, but you also should get to throw it at their head the next day.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so if you if you pull some bush league stuff like a bunt to break up a no-hitter, I think that's fine because getting that win over the, if you can't get a win in the game, not being no hit is just as good as a win.

Speaker 4 Right. That way you're not like immortalize the team that got no hit.
So yes, I agree. Like do anything that you can to if you're down like 11 runs, doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 Right. And if it's if it's quote unquote Bush League, I'm not going to complain about it.
I just expect there to be some retribution the next day. Yeah, I love Bush League.

Speaker 4 Right. Bush League is some of my favorite parts of baseball when people like do shit that's outside the unwritten rules.
Yep, absolutely.

Speaker 1 Love that stuff.

Speaker 4 Also, we had an article come out in Sports Illustrated yesterday. Yeah.
I thought it was fake when Billy sent us the quote card from it.

Speaker 1 Yes, we have Daniel Jeremiah coming up next week. Awesome interview with him on the draft stuff.
So we actually read this during the interview.

Speaker 1 Go ahead and read it again.

Speaker 4 Well, it was basically Trevor Lawrence. It was two quotes.
One from his high school coach saying that he doesn't need to win.

Speaker 4 And then his dad being like, yeah, I'm not so sure he can just walk away tomorrow and so I thought they were fake quotes because they looked like and this is like the new thing that you see we saw with Kevin Durant and Shannon Sharp you can just put whatever you want on a quote board and people are like oh shit he said it and this one was just a picture of Trevor Lawrence with those quotes I thought it was made up but now people are actually having the debate does Trevor Lawrence love football enough

Speaker 4 your thoughts Billy he does Either one, he's trying to tank his draft stock to not go to one of the top teams with picks.

Speaker 4 Two, he actually doesn't like football, which means that he's never fought to keep playing football, and he's going to get to a point in the NFL for the first time in his life where he's never had to play hard

Speaker 1 playing football. He's going to flight.

Speaker 4 So, for example, in high school, you play hard, you know, because you love football and you want to play at the next level.

Speaker 4 He was assumed he was going to play at the next level in high school. He went to college.
It was assumed in college he was going to play at the NFL.

Speaker 4 So, he never has had to play to keep playing football. And that's that's like huge in the NFL because, you know, because he wants to play football.
Exactly. Got it.

Speaker 4 But if he doesn't actually like that,

Speaker 1 someone on that roster wants it more.

Speaker 4 Yeah, maybe Gardner Minshew.

Speaker 4 Do you think that Trevor Lawrence would break his own hand with a hammer so that he could get one extra year of football? No. I don't think that he would.

Speaker 4 But he also might be way better at football. That's the thing.

Speaker 4 But he also may get to the league and realize that

Speaker 4 he can be one and done like after this year. They could just replace him.
That would would be hilarious.

Speaker 4 He's never been an expendable player in his life. Right.
He's probably not an expendable player now either when he goes number one.

Speaker 3 I don't fully follow, though, Billy.

Speaker 1 Tom Brady. He had backups at Clemson.
He had to play. But

Speaker 4 they were never going to replace him.

Speaker 1 I mean, he doesn't have a five-star backup behind him. If he didn't play well, they would have replaced him.

Speaker 1 In fact.

Speaker 4 Those types of guys.

Speaker 1 You don't get it, Hank.

Speaker 4 He was never in a situation to play.

Speaker 4 Hank, now his job is to play football.

Speaker 1 He isn't being the quarterback.

Speaker 3 If you throw passes and they get intercepted, that would be considered failing.

Speaker 4 Has he thrown interceptions?

Speaker 1 Never. Once.

Speaker 1 No, not a lot. No, he has.
What are you talking about? Yes, he has thrown interceptions.

Speaker 3 No, but I'm saying, no, I'm saying like Billy's like,

Speaker 1 if he throws an interception, he's not considered failing.

Speaker 3 If he has bad passes, that's failing.

Speaker 1 There's a second there where you're like, Trevor Lawrence actually has never thrown an interception. I might be wrong.

Speaker 4 He's lost. He's never been in a situation where he's not one of the best players on the field.

Speaker 1 Listen, Billy,

Speaker 4 I'm for this. I'm all for you trying to find reasons why Trevor Lawrence shouldn't be the number one pick because that's interesting.

Speaker 4 I would actually say it'd be more logical to be like, his hair's too long.

Speaker 1 Think about it that way. I don't get the whole Jesus complex thing.

Speaker 4 When was the last time a long-haired quarterback won a Super Bowl?

Speaker 4 I can't think of one.

Speaker 1 Ooh.

Speaker 1 Actually, didn't also, didn't Brady,

Speaker 1 when they lost, he had his hair longest.

Speaker 4 Yeah, absolutely. Plus, it makes it easy for defenders to sack you if you've got the long hair flowing back there.

Speaker 1 Did Breeze have kind of long hair when he won? No. No.
He did have it at one point.

Speaker 1 Every quarterback has tried the long hair. Yeah,

Speaker 1 Justin Herbert got better

Speaker 4 after he had his hair.

Speaker 1 Rogers definitely won with the. Breeze had pretty long hair.
No,

Speaker 1 Rogers had long hair when he won.

Speaker 4 That's shorter than your hair right now.

Speaker 1 Rogers had long hair when he won.

Speaker 4 I don't think a Super Bowl quarterback has ever had hair that touches their shoulders before.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure Rogers had long hair when he won.

Speaker 1 Four. If he didn't have long.

Speaker 1 Not that long. Maybe not.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Everyone grew out after. Yeah, you're right.
Everyone grows it out after. Let's get on that.

Speaker 4 Let's get that ball rolling a little bit because you can say things like

Speaker 4 he should spend more time trying to connect with his split-ins than cut them off. He should spend more time in the film room than the barber's chair.
Things like that.

Speaker 4 I think he loves his hair more than football. There you go.

Speaker 1 Actually, yeah, I'm looking at it right now. Rogers had long hair right before he won the Super Bowl, so there it is.
Interesting. Interesting.

Speaker 4 Also, let's just come up with some fake quotes from Trevor Lawrence that makes it look like he's a big red flag walking around.

Speaker 4 And then we'll create like a fake podcast and then put the quote cards out from that podcast. Things like,

Speaker 4 Trevor Lawrence, I have mono.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Trevor Lawrence, if I get mono, I will probably retire.
Yep.

Speaker 4 Trevor Lawrence, I've never.

Speaker 1 James Arnold's tougher than me.

Speaker 4 I've never had a friend attend any birthday party I've ever had. I became a Jehovah's Witness just so I could stop having birthday parties by myself.

Speaker 1 There it is.

Speaker 1 Wait, hold on. Because this is one of those things that drives me insane.
I mean, when we say something and then tomorrow, someone's going to be like, how could you forget this guy?

Speaker 4 No, I don't think we're forgetting anybody. I legit don't think any

Speaker 4 quarterback has ever wanted to say that.

Speaker 1 Well, what's crazy is all these quarterbacks have had long hair, but not when they. Like, Nick Foles has had long hair, but not when they want.

Speaker 4 McMahon?

Speaker 4 No. No.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 4 I mean, you could say Joe Namath, but that was just long hair at the time, which was, it covered his ears. And they're like, look at this fucking hippie.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Charlie Whitehurst is probably the best long-haired quarterback to ever play in the NFL.

Speaker 1 Yeah, McMahon did. It wasn't even close.
I mean,

Speaker 1 he had a hairstyle that was memorable, but it wasn't.

Speaker 1 You wouldn't say that's a long-haired quarterback. Damn, this is going to drop.
We're going to

Speaker 1 wait. Wait, wait.

Speaker 4 They're all fictional. All the good stuff.
Remember the Titan Sunshine.

Speaker 1 So that type of hair.

Speaker 4 There's

Speaker 4 Falco. Shane Falco had long hair.

Speaker 1 The Titans. I think I have one.

Speaker 1 I think I have one. Ronnie Bass.

Speaker 1 I think Ben's hair was long for me. No way.

Speaker 4 No way. Dude, he has done the long hair, though.
It's never been down to his shoulders.

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, that, yeah, I mean, that's... I'm talking about just like clearly growing out.

Speaker 4 What about Joe Montana?

Speaker 1 I think Ben had long hair.

Speaker 4 I really do. I don't.
I don't think it was anywhere close to Trevor Lawrence's neighborhood. You think Ben Roethlisberger would remember to wash his hair every day? Look at that face.

Speaker 1 Look at that fat fucking face. What a legend.

Speaker 1 What an absolute legend.

Speaker 4 We also had Clowney. The Browns signed Clowney.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Browns are now officially, if I had to pick a Super Bowl winner today, it would be the Browns just because they have three number one overall picks in the last five years. Is that right? No.

Speaker 1 Was it? No, in a five-year span

Speaker 1 was the thing. It was Miles, Garrett, Baker, Mayfield, and Clowney.
Yeah. So in a five-year span, three number one overall picks.

Speaker 1 That right there just tells me from my own draft analysis, that's the greatest team that's ever been created.

Speaker 4 Cloundavion Clowney.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 So in my opinion, because I know Stephen Che thinks that he stinks right now, I think that Jadavion Clowney kind of sucks more than he stinks. I think sucks is better than stinking.
So if a guy sucks,

Speaker 4 he can still be pretty good, but he's not living up to the expectations that come along with his name.

Speaker 4 It's not like he shouldn't be on the field.

Speaker 1 If you stink, you shouldn't be on the field.

Speaker 4 Then if you're trash, you shouldn't be in the league.

Speaker 1 The problem is he's kind of sucked for a little bit, so it might be just who he is now.

Speaker 4 He's sucked his way into stinking?

Speaker 1 Right. He's, he's, I mean,

Speaker 1 how much, and I know this is kind of a ridiculous thing to say, but I really, truly believe it.

Speaker 1 How many millions of dollars do you think Jadavian Clowney has gained in his life and his career from that one hit against Michigan? Ooh, uh, like, it has to be

Speaker 1 a number.

Speaker 4 60% of his career earnings.

Speaker 1 Like, every time you think of him, you think of that hit, and you're like, well, he's a beast. And he obviously was very good for a while, but he hasn't been that level for a year or two.

Speaker 4 Every now and again, you come across a highlight that is, when you see it, you're like, that is football. And that was just a football play.
Yes. He hit the dude in the back.

Speaker 4 Everything happened perfectly on that. He went straight through the middle, hit the guy, knocked his helmet off, the ball came out, and then he palmed the football on the ground and picked it up.

Speaker 4 Like, it all happened perfectly in succession where you're like, that is the perfect football highlight.

Speaker 1 I thought that was going to be John Bostick after his Teddy Bridgewater hit, and the Bears drafted him.

Speaker 1 When he knocked the shit out of him, but then the Gators ended up losing that game, so that was a whole different story. But yeah, there's that

Speaker 1 one huge hit. That's basically our draft.

Speaker 1 Like, if you hired us as part of a scouting team, like, hey, listen, just try to get one huge play that everyone remembers forever, and you will be good.

Speaker 4 And likewise, it can be true in the opposite direction. Like, if you're that linebacker from Ohio State who got burned in the natty.
Yeah. That was bad.
What's that guy's? Tough Borland.

Speaker 4 Tough Borland.

Speaker 4 Where he looked like his legs were two different sizes when he was starting to chase him down.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he tried two different gates while he was running. The other weird story we had was, I don't know if this has been debunked.

Speaker 1 I've seen conflicting reports, but the original report was that Sam Darnold was offered, the Fortniters offered the 12th pick in the draft to the Jets for Sam Darnold, and the Jets

Speaker 1 said no because

Speaker 1 they didn't know if Zach Wilson's shoulder was going to work out or like they had issues about that. So they were thinking about maybe keeping Sam Donald and not trading him.

Speaker 1 Now everyone obviously is running with the story that the Jets are idiots because they didn't trade for the 12th pick and all this stuff. They would have had the third and the

Speaker 1 third and the 12th. Second and the 12th.

Speaker 1 I actually am going to side with the Jets here simply because Kyle Shanahan is that type of coach that if he got Sam Donald, Sam Donald would be a Pro Bowler.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so it would make them look bad. It'd make you look bad.

Speaker 1 Like he's the one guy I wouldn't want to trade my quarterback to, just knowing that he's going to end up looking good, and everyone would be like, oh, the Jets suck even more. Yeah, it's that.

Speaker 4 And also, I could also, I could see the Jets front office being like, you know what? I'd be more scared of facing off against the 49ers in the Super Bowl than the Panthers.

Speaker 4 So I don't want to have to go back up against Sam Darnold. Right.

Speaker 1 But I really do think that Kyle Shanahan's of that level with quarterbacks where

Speaker 1 I wouldn't want to trade my first pick, you know, my first round pick to him, knowing that he, like, if Mitch Trubisky got traded to the 49ers, you'd be like, fuck here.

Speaker 1 I'd be like, this is going to suck because he's going to make him awesome, and everyone's going to laugh at me more.

Speaker 4 He's the next boyfriend on Instagram. Like, if J-Lo starts dating Kyle Shane Ann.

Speaker 1 Come on, we're over that.

Speaker 4 Be tough. Come on, man.
He's tough looking.

Speaker 4 Play the song again.

Speaker 1 Come on.

Speaker 1 It's just,

Speaker 1 it hurts. It hurts.
It's okay to, I think in 2021, as guys, as dudes, it's okay to say when you're hurt.

Speaker 1 A famous person once said, it's okay to not be okay.

Speaker 3 You know what? Where does Alex's Instagram go from here?

Speaker 4 Sky's the limit.

Speaker 1 Booties?

Speaker 4 Perfect booties. Start selling

Speaker 4 vagina-scented candles. A-Rod should start selling A-Rod penis-scented candles.
I'd buy it.

Speaker 1 Put one in this.

Speaker 1 Just put one in here and just alpha.

Speaker 4 Smells like old spice.

Speaker 3 Yeah. I mean, the girl that kind of is rumored to have broken, it's Jay Cutler and A.

Speaker 1 No, that's not. Hank, Cutler.
What, Tommy?

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no, no. Pretty much.
Hank, you know, you know that this is just, you know,

Speaker 1 sometimes things happen, okay?

Speaker 1 No, nothing more than that. What are you going to say, Billy?

Speaker 4 Did Jose predict the future?

Speaker 1 No, no. All right.
I'm going to need a few more seconds of the song after that comment. It's going right back into it.

Speaker 4 Billy, do you regret beating Jose up so badly when it turns out hashtag Jose was right?

Speaker 1 It's like, what the fuck? No, Joseph. Billy,

Speaker 4 I'm really glad that Jose didn't kill you because that would have been tough to get murdered by Jose. And then have him be right.
And then have him be absolutely correct about it before.

Speaker 1 That would have sucked a lot.

Speaker 4 For the record, I still don't like Jose Consequent.

Speaker 1 He's still a rat. Correct.

Speaker 4 He claims to be a time traveler. He claims a lot.
So he probably, when is the future, Sai would have beat his ass and been like, get out there as soon as I can.

Speaker 4 He should build a time machine and go back and work out.

Speaker 1 That's where he should do it. Yeah.
Maybe not have your shoulder.

Speaker 1 Maybe don't look at the pay-per-view numbers before you go in the ring so you don't take a dive. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 4 if he had a time machine, I don't think he ever would have agreed to fight our intern and lose. If he could see that.

Speaker 1 I think he saw how much money he ended up making.

Speaker 1 That's the thing.

Speaker 4 Do you think, Jose, how much of that

Speaker 4 paycheck do you think Jose Conseco still has in his bank account right now? He doesn't believe in the stock market and like assets.

Speaker 1 He sounds like a dude you would get along with.

Speaker 4 I know, I kind of want to go.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like everything you say is something you would like. You saying, oh, yeah, Jose thinks he's a time traveler.
Like, you, you're the judge. You, you definitely.
I don't think I'm a time traveler.

Speaker 1 No, but you would be down with the time travel.

Speaker 1 Right, right.

Speaker 4 But go in the future, not the past. Got it.

Speaker 1 People don't do that often. When they time travel, they always think about going the past.

Speaker 4 I'd go to the future. Yeah, no, dude.
Butterfly effect. Can you affect the past by going into the future?

Speaker 1 I would.

Speaker 4 What if you go into the future and build a better time machine where people can go further back into the past?

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 4 Then, yes.

Speaker 1 Think about that. I would go into the future like three to four months from now when A-Rod and J-Lo get back together.

Speaker 4 I hope they keep doing this for the entire offseason. Be cool with me.
It'd be a great way to get us back into football. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I like how we say it.

Speaker 4 Everything goes by in the football.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because J-Lo and A-Ron have so much to do with football. They're on the football.
The Mayans,

Speaker 1 the Mayans had their calendar. We have our football calendar.

Speaker 1 All right, let's get to our interviews. We got two awesome interviews.
So, Barry Pepper, which was one of those interviews,

Speaker 1 I'll fully admit we took it because we sat next to him at

Speaker 1 McGregor Mayweather

Speaker 1 in front of him. No, behind him.

Speaker 4 Yeah, we get that wrong in the interview.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and we thought that would be funny to have him on, and then he turned out to be like one of the most fascinating guys we've talked to.

Speaker 4 I would love to have him in the studio to have this conversation.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so there's a couple of moments where a word or two cuts out just from technology it sucks sorry just a heads up but we got the gist of it and he's an awesome interview and then we're gonna have will zalatoris who is now part of our golf crew before we do all that our friends at hey it's pft here reminding you that boars head makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless whether you order catering platters ahead from your local boars head retailer or you create your own spread at home with boars head premium deli meats and cheeses you are sure to impress your guests my favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy monster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is actor Barry Pepper.
He's got a new movie that is out April 16th. It's called Trigger Point.
It's in theaters and on demand.

Speaker 1 It's going to be an awesome movie. I'm very, very excited for it.

Speaker 1 So, Barry, thank you for joining us. I just alluded to it before we started.

Speaker 1 When we saw your name come across our list of potential guests, we were like, we have to have Barry Pepper on because you don't realize this, but we sat next to you for the Mayweather McGregor fight.

Speaker 1 And we were very drunk. And I think we asked you for a picture.
And I think we also harassed you, being like, you're the dude who killed the Nazis.

Speaker 1 So we just want to see, do you remember us?

Speaker 7 Check this out.

Speaker 1 Check this out.

Speaker 4 Oh, she's in a picture with a picture of us. Framed.

Speaker 1 Oh, there it is.

Speaker 1 The stub.

Speaker 4 Got it right there.

Speaker 1 It's right there.

Speaker 7 So you guys must have been seat

Speaker 7 seven or eight because I was five and six.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Wait a sec.

Speaker 4 If you don't recognize this, maybe do you recognize me?

Speaker 1 Do you recognize me?

Speaker 4 I mean, it was a it was a wild, yeah, we were right in front of you, actually.

Speaker 1 No, no, we were behind. I have the picture.
Oh, we were like, we were in, we were behind you, right behind you.

Speaker 4 I just tried to roast you by saying we had better seats, and it was an all-time backfire.

Speaker 1 Yeah, congratulations on you, better seats than us. I found the tweet, I found the tweet too.
I said at uh 11:09 p.m.

Speaker 1 on August 26th, I said, sitting next to the sniper dude from Savor Private Ryan, yeah, we're big time now. Also, what's his name? So,

Speaker 7 hey, you know,

Speaker 7 I do the, whatever you call it, the narration for Showtime for those fights. So, that's that's how I was there.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. So, we did have good seats.

Speaker 7 I guess so, yeah.

Speaker 1 Cool, man.

Speaker 1 Nice to see you.

Speaker 4 Yeah, good to see you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, great to see you.

Speaker 4 So,

Speaker 4 that's what I recognize you from because Saving Private Ryan was one of my favorite movies, one of the best war movies of all time.

Speaker 4 Anytime you hear people talk about it, I I know Big Cat went over to Normandy. I went over to Normandy also a couple years ago.

Speaker 4 Everybody over there always talks about Saving Private Ryan as being the most true to what actually happened of any of the other war movies.

Speaker 4 And I'm just curious, do people come up to you and they like recognize you from that movie? And do they thank you for your service ever? Do they ever think you're actually from the military?

Speaker 7 Yeah, it's interesting because I've done three

Speaker 7 pretty prominent war films. One with Clint Eastwood called Flags of Our Fathers, and then another one with Mel Gibson called We Were Soldiers.

Speaker 7 And so, yeah, people recognize you in the service community. And no,

Speaker 7 they don't assume that

Speaker 7 you're a service member, but

Speaker 7 there's a lot of respect that comes with it

Speaker 7 both ways. So, you know,

Speaker 7 you do a lot of events, a lot of charity events, and

Speaker 7 you kind of immerse yourself in that community, not only through your research for the film, but then

Speaker 7 they welcome you into these events. And yeah,

Speaker 7 it's pretty cool.

Speaker 7 So, you you know, you really feel like you've got a huge responsibility to try to get it right because you're dealing with a lot of people's memories and their losses and their wounds. And so

Speaker 7 it's not something that you can just kind of,

Speaker 7 it's not a fast and furious movie. You know what I mean? Like you just, you have to, you know, take it, take it quite seriously.

Speaker 7 You'll be sitting at dinner with some young woman with a prosthetic, a full prosthetic arm. And it's just, it's such a,

Speaker 4 yeah it's a trip you know yeah so you really want to you want to make sure that you do it right so what how did you end up in normandy so i i went there on vacation went over to paris for a day then took two-day trip to uh to normandy and then left town but i always wanted to see that coast because for that purpose yeah for that purpose my great uncle was uh i think he was on omaha actually uh he got shot in his hip but he you know he never wanted to talk about it when he got my great uncle never wanted to discuss it after he came back and so i never really got to talk to him that much about it but it was uh it was fascinating to be there and to see where all that happened yeah that was sort of one of the highest honors uh was people said you know it kind of spoke for them sort of like people like your uncle they didn't have to really articulate it they could just sort of say to their nephew or their wife and you know yeah that's sort of

Speaker 7 this is sort of why i couldn't talk about it it's like it's a lot like that yeah

Speaker 1 Yeah, and I mean, you're your character, obviously, in Saving Pride Ryan, all-time character. And actually,

Speaker 1 it's such a great character that I think that, at least personally, whenever I see you in a new movie, I'm like, I got to see it because I loved him so much in Saving Pride of Ryan, including your new movie, Trigger Point.

Speaker 1 So, one last question about Saving Pride Ryan. You probably get annoyed about it.
It's been so long. No, not at all.

Speaker 1 How cool is Vin Diesel?

Speaker 7 Yeah,

Speaker 7 he was a great guy. You know, it's interesting.
When I first met him on Saving Pride Ryan, we ended up doing another film after that called Knock Around Guys.

Speaker 7 But when I first met him, he was a director. And

Speaker 7 he was living in New York,

Speaker 7 you know, just sort of

Speaker 7 scratching his money together to make these independent films. And that's really the path he was on.
So

Speaker 7 it's great that he's had success with

Speaker 7 his Fast and the Furious franchise, but I would love to see him direct, you know, because

Speaker 7 he's a really intelligent filmmaker. But, you know, he's played that character of Dom for so long.
You think of him that way, but that was really the origin of his career.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's got got a pretty good gig going, though.

Speaker 1 Yes, like you cash some serious checks in that franchise. The corona money

Speaker 1 he's not sitting with us at the Mayweather-McGregor fight, he's sitting all the way down ringside. That's because he's also a little shorter,

Speaker 1 he's like my height. Yeah, um, people don't know, so I was reading up about your career.
Uh, I mean, this is just crazy. You spent some of your childhood on a boat traveling the South Pacific Islands.

Speaker 1 Is that right?

Speaker 7 Yeah, in the 70s, my

Speaker 7 parents built a 50-foot sailboat in their backyard from scratch, you know, a fiberglass sloop 50 feet long. And then they launched it.
And so I was about five years old,

Speaker 7 moved on board. And then we spent the next five years cruising it.
And

Speaker 7 a few of those years through the South Pacific Islands.

Speaker 7 And then later in my 20s, actually, before I did Private Ryan, my dad and I, we just the two of us again offshore, you know, to Hawaii and alaska and and um

Speaker 7 and then he carried on through southeast asia and i would just sort of fly you know whenever i could between films and see him and whether he was in thailand or malaysia or whatever and yeah so he he's definitely a seafarer but it was interesting way to grow up you know because he did he he navigated us halfway around the world with just a sextant you know, celestial navigation, the same way Columbus navigated, like no GPS, no electronics.

Speaker 7 It was just a miracle we survived.

Speaker 1 Holy shit. What did you guys

Speaker 4 do all day?

Speaker 1 Yeah. You're underrating this, by the way.
Yeah. You're like very casual about this.

Speaker 7 You know, and I think somebody asked me that about like, how did I get into this?

Speaker 7 I mean, and I think it was those formative years, you know, like no, all imagination games. We didn't have TV.
We didn't really have radio, you know, a little bit of classic rock or whatever.

Speaker 7 But, you know, it was all imagination games, you know, because you're on this 50-foot by 14-foot-wide sailboat.

Speaker 7 Sometimes, you know, crossing between nations would be three weeks at sea without seeing a horizon, you know, just, and then you'd get smoked by some big white squall and everything would get wiped off the deck of the boat and everybody be crying and freaking out.

Speaker 7 And

Speaker 7 yeah, it's some pretty wild times at sea. And so, you know, you kind of live in your imagination as a child.
I was just five through 10 years old.

Speaker 7 And then my two older brothers really heightened my my my my imagination skills seriously so wait what happened when you came back when you were like 10 did you just go to school and you're like hey i've just been yeah out at sea for the last five years what's up guys i'm barry yeah well we've been homeschooled for all those years too and um which was pretty cool like you get your homework done and then you just dive off the boat and go you know scuba diving or spear spearfishing or not scuba but snorkeling or spearfishing or go climb a coconut tree.

Speaker 7 And it was kind of like, yeah, a little bit of like a Swiss family Robinson upbringing, because, of course, we're in the tropics and we weren't a well-off family.

Speaker 7 So we didn't go to the, you know, the expensive fancy ports and yacht island groups, kind of like the places where they shot survivor. That was sort of

Speaker 7 where we ended up on the small atolls and islands where the local people lived. And you could kind of just live on a dime.

Speaker 4 Wow. So going to school on a boat that size,

Speaker 4 is is it difficult to write on a boat?

Speaker 7 Well, we, you know, we'd eventually get to harbor and you'd anchor and you'd be in a protected, you know, atoll or, or somewhere. And yeah, so it'd be calm.

Speaker 7 But at sea, yeah, it was just, it was very, very difficult because you'd be like this.

Speaker 7 Sailing, you know, you're sailing from, say,

Speaker 7 Hawaii to the Marquesas or Fiji or Tonga or...

Speaker 7 or New Zealand or wherever you might be sailing. And sometimes those crossings, like I say, would be, so you go, you know, you go a little bit stir crazy.

Speaker 4 Yeah. So then, then you come back to land.
And then I would imagine it might be difficult to make friends after having that have been such a formative experience in your life.

Speaker 4 But I did read that you were a really good athlete in high school. I'm wondering if that kind of helped you bridge the gap and kind of introduce you to people.

Speaker 7 Yeah, my dad and my actually my eldest brother and I, we all played on the same baseball team growing up. So that was pretty cool.
You know, it was always sort of a family thing.

Speaker 7 We were always doing sports together. So yeah, we

Speaker 7 my dad was a lumberjack. He was a faller.
He fell trees for a living up on the Pacific Northwest. So, so I guess he kind of passed on that to us to not,

Speaker 7 you know, not let anybody mess with us. And so, so, yeah, it was always sports and

Speaker 7 boxing or whatever. And, no, we didn't have any trouble integrating, but it was

Speaker 7 more just that lack of freedom or that loss of freedom, right? Like I say, finish your schoolwork and then just go and cruise up through the jungle or, you know, dive into the ocean and play all day

Speaker 7 in the tropics.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it says that you played fastball on your Wikipedia page. I didn't know if that was like a Canadian term for baseball or if that was accurate.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Yeah, they in Canada it's called baseball, but yeah, it's usually like a beer league, a men's beer league, you know, would be like a fastball

Speaker 1 Mel?

Speaker 1 Fast pitch. Yeah.
Yeah, fast pitch.

Speaker 7 Yeah. Yeah.
We played a lot of that growing up because there wasn't a lot of baseball and there wasn't a lot of football. In Canada, growing up in Canada, it was mostly rugby and fast pitch

Speaker 7 until you graduated into a

Speaker 7 higher level.

Speaker 7 My brother played AAA ball, but

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 7 we were in rural small towns. So it was like...

Speaker 7 rugby was popular because you know all you needed was a mouth guard.

Speaker 7 You didn't have to buy all the expensive gear.

Speaker 4 You're the Canadian Dosekis guy.

Speaker 1 I mean, you just dropped that your brother played AAA ball. Like, that's not nothing.
Triple-A ball is like right there.

Speaker 1 It's pretty damn hard to play AAA ball.

Speaker 7 It was because of him. In fact, this is

Speaker 7 my 40-year-old Yankees cap that I inherited from him when I was just 10 years old. And so I became a Yankees fan because he was a Yankees fan.
And then I ended up doing...

Speaker 7 a film with Billy Crystal called 61 years later where I for Roger Maris. So

Speaker 7 that was was kind of a neat evolution, you know, growing up idolizing my older brother who was this Yankees fan and and then getting to play Roger.

Speaker 1 That was kind of cool. Yeah, that was a great movie.

Speaker 1 What's your favorite role that you've played or the role that you like if someone said to you at the end of your career, you know, you want to be remembered for this role or that role.

Speaker 1 Is there a specific one that

Speaker 1 sticks out to you?

Speaker 7 Yes, it's interesting because I'm a character actor, right? And I'm a journeyman actor. I'm not A-list.
You know, I get a lot of supporting, a lot of good supporting characters.

Speaker 7 So it's been really diverse. You know, like I really enjoy playing Lucky Ned Pepper and True Grit.
And if I could, you know, do a Western series, I'd love to do a Western series.

Speaker 7 You know, you can't play Jackson forever. You can't be the sniper.
And that's what ended up happening after Saving Brother Ryan is you kind of get.

Speaker 7 slotted into, you know, everybody wants you to play the psychopath, you know, the next sniper, the next, you know, that guy.

Speaker 7 And so I was trying to, you know, find diversity and ended up really, yeah, you know, being able to

Speaker 7 slip into these different character

Speaker 7 roles. For me, that's what's been really cool is that I can disappear into those roles because I'm not overexposed as an actor.
People go like, I didn't even know you were in that.

Speaker 7 And that's kind of a compliment.

Speaker 7 So it's challenging for me, like to say, was playing Robert Kennedy, you know, better than playing Lucky Ned Pepper? I I mean, it's just so different.

Speaker 7 And I think that's kind of the fun of being a character actor. But so I'm sorry, I could really be hard to choose.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, that's an interesting answer, though, because it's a lot of times someone who has a career where they've done a bunch of different things and been like, you know, maybe not the lead role in all these movies, they might say, like, oh, I should have had more leads.

Speaker 1 But it's interesting to have that perspective of like, people don't even realize I'm in something, which is almost a compliment because that means you did such a great job at it.

Speaker 7 Yeah, like, I mean, certainly not making the bank that Vin, you know, Vin is making in the Fast and the Furious type series. And that's, that's an awesome franchise that he's built.

Speaker 7 But it's just a different career path. You know, he's done really well with that.
And, but I, I really kind of enjoy the diversity of the different roles I get. And I also like to live really rural.

Speaker 7 I, you know, I live in the country. I'm a dual citizen, but I have a home in Canada and I like to spend a fair bit of time up here.

Speaker 7 I hunt and fish fish and I have a big garden and an orchard and we kind of

Speaker 7 live rural, you know, and so you can, it's kind of tricky to have one foot in and one foot out. And

Speaker 7 in terms of a career, then, you know, you're going to, there's a flip side to that, right?

Speaker 7 You get your anonymity and your freedom and you get to live the life the way you want and you get to raise your kids, but you're also not going to get the best roles.

Speaker 7 You got to, you got to, you know, find your balance with it.

Speaker 4 It sounds like a great balance, though. It sounds like what you have right now is what a lot of people are chasing when they go after the big roles, when they want to be the A-list guy.

Speaker 4 They just want happiness and like a little bit of peace and financial security. It sounds like that's what you've got, which is awesome for you.

Speaker 4 You mentioned, you brought up the term character actor, and I wanted to ask you about that because,

Speaker 4 well, just kind of talk to me like we're, I don't know, four or five years old, and maybe you can explain a little bit better. What is the difference between being a character actor and just being

Speaker 7 a really good actor like in other words why don't why don't they give uh like lead roles to the character guy yeah i don't i don't know i mean i think part of it is your personality too right if you're if you're happy to do all the talk shows and you're really willing to be a celebrity and show your personality and always sort of be

Speaker 7 available then people get to know you um as sort of uh

Speaker 7 you know their friend and neighbor and But it's challenging for us as viewers to escape with them. You're like, oh, that's so-and-so, but he's just wearing a mustache because he's a celebrity.

Speaker 7 And it's really hard for them not to break the fourth wall

Speaker 7 of anonymity to your life. You can disappear because people are like, what's that guy's name again?

Speaker 7 And, oh, oh, he played, he played that. And, you know, it's just, it's like somebody I really respect is Harrison Ford, but he's not a character actor.
He always plays Harrison Ford or Tom Cruise.

Speaker 7 He always plays Tom Cruise.

Speaker 7 Whereas Tom Hanks has that sort of ability to chameleonize a bit, but he's become Tom Hanks so much to the point where it's really challenging for him now because, you know, he can't escape like he used to into the, you know, we still love him and we still, you know, watch every movie he's in.

Speaker 7 But it's, yeah, it's like,

Speaker 7 you're not really asking Harrison Ford to do anything other than be Harrison Ford in every,

Speaker 7 I guess that I don't know if that's a convoluted way of explaining it.

Speaker 4 It's actually a great answer.

Speaker 1 I never thought of it.

Speaker 3 You're really overexposed.

Speaker 7 If you're really overexposed, then it's really challenging to disappear. And so it's a fine, it's a fine line.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's fascinating.

Speaker 4 I hadn't thought of it from the perspective of somebody doing all the publicity and then connecting with so many people outside of their movies, making it kind of like a challenge to do that.

Speaker 7 And I'm not trying to bullshit you guys. Like, I mean,

Speaker 7 there's obviously a certain freedom, financial freedom and life that comes with being a celebrity and um

Speaker 7 and it's not it's not it's just that there is a trade-off you know like um

Speaker 7 would i be disappointed if i was i was doing a big franchise that exploded and you know well that would be nice financial freedom but you certainly

Speaker 7 trade your anonymity and your freedom instantly uh so it is what it is and you know what i i i don't know that i really tried to design it at all other than the fact that i wanted to just live where I live and do what I do and not chase it very hard.

Speaker 7 And if good roles come my way, then great.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, it's a fascinating career. And I think you do have an unbelievable perspective.
I would imagine this is why you're also just not on social media, too, which that has to be,

Speaker 1 I would guess that growing up on a boat and then having the career you have, you probably think the internet is pretty foolish, which I agree with you, but I'm addicted to it.

Speaker 7 I know.

Speaker 7 You know, I think i'm just not very disciplined i think it's such a dumpster fire it would suck me right then i'd be then i'd be x'd you know and i just know i just know myself i just would get too political and things would upset me and i would say stupid and so yeah i think it's just better and too i you know i'm 51 so i grew up without all of that and so it's it's it's actually challenging for me to feed it.

Speaker 7 I'm not good at, I would just, like the managers and the agents and whatever, they tell you, well, you have to, you have to tend to this garden, you know, like you gotta, you gotta feed that thing.

Speaker 7 And I just like, I'm never gonna do that. I, I, I'll be out working on my motorcycles or hunting or fishing or whatever, like just living a life.

Speaker 7 I don't really want to be like, here's me living a life, you know.

Speaker 1 I'm going to say it right now. I think you might have the best perspective of any guest we've ever had on this show.

Speaker 1 You're just a cool guy.

Speaker 4 I think you're very chill.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Chill Barry. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Barry.
And we know each other.

Speaker 7 And we've met before.

Speaker 1 And we've met before. Right.
Exactly. We hung out, sort of, at the Mayweather.

Speaker 1 Were you drunk for that? As drunk as us? We were pretty drunk.

Speaker 7 I can't remember, honestly.

Speaker 7 I try not to at those events because, like I say, I was kind of like,

Speaker 7 I worked that event.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 7 So the Showtime just hands me some tickets.

Speaker 7 I didn't choose those seats. But so I usually go to the, I got to do press beforehand, then I got to go to these parties and shit and talk, you know, to all the producers.

Speaker 7 And so I generally try, but yeah, I might have had a few tipples.

Speaker 1 All right. We have, we drank more than enough for you that night.
We don't even remember the fight. We were so drunk, we thought, uh, we thought McGregor had a real shot at winning.

Speaker 1 We walked out being like, I think he almost won that fight.

Speaker 7 Yeah, you know, but what's interesting, though, is like, what I was trying to, what I was arguing as I was in there is like, this is boxing, man.

Speaker 7 What I always feel like, and I love, I love mma i love ufc i'm actually

Speaker 7 i'm embarrassed to say i'm kind of curious about this askron fight i just hope that he kicks you know that that kid's ass but um

Speaker 7 but i i i i always feel like well they you know mayweather or or jake paul or whatever his name is should really honor their sport too they they talk such a big game but they would never go into the octagon right and to me that like for that for that mayweather mcgregor fight i kind of felt like, well, this is sort of a fight.

Speaker 7 It's not really.

Speaker 7 In McGregor's domain, he would have absolutely torn a Mayweather apart.

Speaker 7 And so it's kind of interesting. I just sort of, I guess that's why I put much more credence and respect to what McGregor did than what Mayweather did.

Speaker 1 Agreed.

Speaker 4 Agreed.

Speaker 4 It was the show, too. You know, it was a spectacle.
Yes,

Speaker 4 I think everybody went into it rooting for, or a lot of people were rooting for an upset. And also, just the song that Conor McGregor had that his fans were saying.

Speaker 4 That's what made us actually, it's more, it was half that we were drunk and then half that we wanted to just be able to sing that song in the event that he won that made us put money on McGregor.

Speaker 4 But yeah, it was a fun fight.

Speaker 1 Had a great time at it.

Speaker 7 Such a gladiatorial feel when that Sunaid O'Connor pipes the pipe start.

Speaker 7 That was just amazing.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I noticed that you brought out the New York Yankees hat earlier. You're a Yankees fan.

Speaker 4 And you played Roger Maris. Do you think that Roger Maris is the home run king still?

Speaker 7 I do. You know, it's funny Billy Crystal and Thomas Jane and I, we just did this sort of

Speaker 7 Zoom reunion for

Speaker 7 some show and recently, because it was 20-year anniversary. And I was kind of saying that that asterisk to me sort of represents.

Speaker 7 you know, the real deal, you know, what it originally was intended for.

Speaker 7 But yeah, in a way, it's sort of that asterisk represents like the real home run king, in my estimation. I mean, I think it's widely understood now.
In fact,

Speaker 7 Maguire called

Speaker 7 Roger Maris's widow, Pat, who is still alive, living in Fargo.

Speaker 7 No, sorry, she lives in Florida. But anyway, he called her and apologized to her

Speaker 7 for the shame that he brought to that record and breaking Roger's record and it being so well known that he was

Speaker 7 juiced the whole time and that it really wasn't a genuine record. And I thought that was quite honorable of him, actually.
He broke down in tears apparently on the phone call and

Speaker 7 for him to declare that to her. But the whole family was quite impressed that he would make that phone call.
So to me,

Speaker 7 whatever. I don't care.
I mean, it is what it is.

Speaker 7 you know i don't know how you would ever separate it all i mean there's so many different eras of eras of baseball where the ball's been juiced, the bats, the, you know, and things change.

Speaker 7 Like, look at Roger and Mickey. They were smoking and drinking in the dugout, you know, making $36,000 a year back then.

Speaker 1 It's crazy.

Speaker 7 So it's so different. And they didn't even really work out.

Speaker 7 They were just farm boys, you know, they would, they'd be working on the farm in the offseason and then go play baseball because they, you know, they didn't make enough money to

Speaker 7 raise their families on that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's crazy. We've had George Brett on the show a couple of times, and

Speaker 1 he's admitted he didn't really work out in the offseason. He would go for runs and stuff, but the actual weight training and all this stuff, it didn't really exist in his career.

Speaker 1 And it's just incredible to think about how incredible athletically these guys were with

Speaker 1 not having it be their full, full-time job where you see athletes now and all they do is train and they have nutritionists and everything. So, yeah, I agree with you.

Speaker 1 Roger Maris, like the Asterix, it's almost been reversed now. He gets the Asterix on everyone else, and that's the real home run kick.

Speaker 7 Yeah, you wonder, you know, how maybe a Muhammad Ali would fare against Tyson Fury or whoever, like, it's so interesting to take those eras, and

Speaker 7 it's almost like a moot conversation.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, but it's kind of cool. What about Barry Bonds, though? Barry Bonds is the best baseball player.

Speaker 4 Is there any barry-to-bury mutual respect?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 I don't know anything anything about him, man.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 All right. Maybe you'll get the Barry Bonds movie.
That would be the

Speaker 1 73 asterisks.

Speaker 1 You could be Jeff Kent.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you could be Jeff Kent. That would be great.

Speaker 7 I'd probably have to, you know, gain a few inches.

Speaker 1 Well, Barry, this has been awesome, man. We really appreciate it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Everyone go.
Yeah, everyone go watch Trigger Point. I'm going to watch it.
It's out April 16th on on-demand and in theaters.

Speaker 1 And next time, if you're ever in in New York City, we'd love to do it in person because we hate

Speaker 1 the Zoom stuff sucks. It's, you know, at some point, it's just, it's frustrating because

Speaker 1 you're an interesting dude.

Speaker 7 Right on, you guys, too. Thank you so much.
And really nice to see you again. Yes.

Speaker 1 All the best. Take care, love it.

Speaker 4 And now here he is, Will Zalatoris.

Speaker 8 And now for something completely different.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is Will Zalatoris.
You saw him in Augusta, finished second, and

Speaker 1 we just met on Zoom. And I said, you beat the odds.
And what I mean by that is you lost me money on Sunday, but I still wanted you on because

Speaker 1 I was riding the Z train all weekend and it was a fucking thrilling ride. So, congrats on that.
Usually, if someone loses us a bet, we like swear them off forever, but you survived that.

Speaker 8 I've had like 150 Venmo requests for like way to lose by one asshole or something like that. It's it's been so, it's been so funny.

Speaker 8 I've been laughing because I've seen like $110 or something like that.

Speaker 1 I'm like, unbelievable.

Speaker 4 Well, you can afford it now.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 4 has the direct deposit hit yet?

Speaker 1 Uh,

Speaker 8 I gotta be honest, I have not looked.

Speaker 1 That's insane.

Speaker 4 I would just be refreshing over and over again.

Speaker 8 Yeah, yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm actually really surprised I've made it this far, but yeah, look right now.

Speaker 1 You want me to look? Yes, look right now. Hell yeah.
All right, all right, I'll look for you. When we had uh Max on Homa, he he was he it was right after his hit for his win,

Speaker 1 and he was pretty, pretty pumped about it.

Speaker 4 Just lighting $100 bills on fire.

Speaker 1 Not yet.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. Okay, that's okay.
That's okay. That's okay.
We can recover from this.

Speaker 4 I like that mentality, though. Yeah.

Speaker 4 That's good. I like the fact you're like, ah, fuck it.
It'll be in there when it's in there. You're hungry.

Speaker 1 They're good for it. Yes.

Speaker 8 Yes. Yeah.
Yes, they are.

Speaker 1 So we,

Speaker 1 I was reading up about it. You finished second in the masters.
You won $1.2 million.

Speaker 1 You're now like,

Speaker 1 you know, an established, I think, top 30 or something, and yet you still don't have your PGA card. How the hell does that work?

Speaker 8 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 8 it's weird, but I mean, it is what it is. Like, I can't get frustrated about it because it's not like they're going to change it.
But, you know,

Speaker 8 I have to win to get in the FedEx Cup playoffs. But I've already got my card locked up for next year.
And I'm already in, I'm into the majors for the next, I guess, until the masters of next year.

Speaker 8 So in a weird way, I'm kind of playing with house money. Like every week, finishing second means as much as finishing 20th.

Speaker 8 I mean, granted, there's a little bit of a prize money difference, but like it doesn't change. Like I have to go out and win.
And, you know, the reality is like

Speaker 8 those guys that have come out hot, they've always won. And so you've got the Colin Moricowas, the Victor Hovlins, Matt Wolf, you know, those guys have come out and they've won.

Speaker 8 So they've been you know, members immediately, even though they started the year with no status. Well, for me, coming from the corn ferry tour,

Speaker 8 it's just a little bit different. And I'm, you know, keep doing what I'm doing.
We'll get that first one.

Speaker 1 It's just crazy that you won all that money. You finished second.
You were like everyone, you know, I'm not going to say household name, but you kind of were after this weekend.

Speaker 1 And you technically, if you don't win, you don't get to play in the playoff, even though you'd be top 15.

Speaker 8 Yeah. So, I mean, yeah.
So I think someone said to me today that I think if I was on the list, I would have been 13th or something like that

Speaker 8 on the FedEx Cup list. But I mean,

Speaker 8 jobs that go out and go in a golf tournament. I know it's like, I'm kind of looking at it a little more stoic than I should, I guess.
But, you know, getting mad is not going to solve any problems.

Speaker 8 So it is what it is. And I'm in a really weird spot.
Like, I don't think there's really been anyone in this spot, maybe ever.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I got a solution for you.
And this is part of the reason why we wanted to have you on. So we wanted to offer an invitation.

Speaker 1 We talked to Max Homa and Brooks Kepka as an official golfer that pardon my take roots for. Now, we're not golf guys.
So it's a very select group.

Speaker 1 But what you just described is exactly what we do as a podcast. We will get mad at the PGA for you.

Speaker 1 You can be stoic and we can be bitter and like petty. Attack dogs.
Attack dogs.

Speaker 1 Yeah, all for a small nominal fee of all future winnings.

Speaker 4 Do you accept?

Speaker 8 It's non-negotiable, right?

Speaker 1 Non-negotiable. No.
Maximum proofs are in.

Speaker 4 Unless you have a counteroffer.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Well, if it's non-negotiable, then yeah, I'm in.

Speaker 1 All right, okay. Perfect.
Perfect.

Speaker 4 That's amazing.

Speaker 4 I tell you what, just give us your banking password.

Speaker 1 We'll check for you.

Speaker 4 So you don't have to spend all this time refreshing that screen like you've been doing non-stop. We'll let you know when it goes in.

Speaker 4 I'm interested to hear what your mentality was going into the week and like how confident you were.

Speaker 4 I'll put it this this way when you booked your stay did you book it through friday or did you book it through sunday night uh monday actually whoa

Speaker 8 um

Speaker 8 just knowing monday because of the weather for one because we were gonna have a lot of weather but i was

Speaker 8 you know i i don't mean to minimize the moment because when I stood on the first tee I was talking to my caddy and it's like look I've wanted to be in this situation my whole life final group of the masters, like everything that I've ever wanted.

Speaker 8 And I thought that that weight would have made me more nervous.

Speaker 8 And I kind of told my caddy, I was like, I'm, I thought that was gonna have like a lex or next level, like nervousness, and I didn't have that. It was kind of a,

Speaker 8 I just kind of had an attitude of like, the hell of it, like, we're, we're here.

Speaker 8 Let's, I mean, the kind of what my caddy Ryan told me is like, you know, he's a military buff, and he's like, weapons free, boys. I mean, we're, we're going.
Like, this is it.

Speaker 8 I mean, so we just that whole weekend, I,

Speaker 8 you know, it's like, hey, finishing second means as much as finishing third, fourth, fifth, sixth, whatever. Like, you know, we're out here to go win a green jacket.
Let's go. Let's go get it.

Speaker 1 And I saw the quote. You said that

Speaker 1 you told your family, like, if I'm stupid enough to think I can play here, then I'm stupid enough to think I can win it.

Speaker 1 And that's, I mean, that's kind of the perfect, that's why you fit perfectly with this podcast. The whole like ethos is, we're just dumb enough to think we can can be successful.

Speaker 1 Like we're, we don't actually realize we shouldn't be.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I mean, the whole, that kind of the whole quote was really from over the last year, we've had so much going on between COVID and whatnot.

Speaker 8 Like if COVID didn't happen, I wouldn't have even tried to qualify for the U.S. Open.
But then I was given a spot anyway, and the U.S. Open moves to September.

Speaker 8 So I'm able to play and or even, I wasn't even to try to qualify. So I'm even given a a spot.

Speaker 8 It's in a time that fits because I was going to try to put all my focus on the corn ferry tour to get to the PGA tour. End of finishing six in the U.S.

Speaker 8 Open, finish eighth the next week, next week, turn that into special temporary status, work my way up the world rankings, and it gets me into the masters. I'm in the final group on Saturday.

Speaker 8 So that's why to me, it's like, this is so stupid.

Speaker 1 It's insane. Yeah.
Like, yes.

Speaker 8 So that's why that was kind of like, you know, if someone told me I was going to play in the masters, let alone be in the final group on a Saturday six months ago, I would have thought you were high.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And Monday, the Monday checkout is.
I like it. I mean, like, Max, you know, who's also now a brother-in-arms for you because he's part of the group.

Speaker 1 I think he did early checkout on Friday. I think he was like, I'll be out of here by 11 a.m.

Speaker 1 So you said that

Speaker 4 you were dumb enough to think that you could win the whole thing. Let's see how dumb you are.

Speaker 4 What will your champions dinner be when you do win the masters?

Speaker 8 Oh, God. I haven't even gotten that far.
Nope.

Speaker 8 It's going to be,

Speaker 8 oh, man, probably something like,

Speaker 8 God, I hate just going like full, just big old fat piece of meat. Like, you know, just, I live in Dallas.
We got steak places everywhere.

Speaker 8 Just give me a big old honking piece of meat, some baked potato.

Speaker 8 I don't know, get the veggies for some of the guys who eat clean.

Speaker 4 What do you think about maybe pigs in a blanket? Big Cat really wanted you to say pigs in a blanket.

Speaker 8 That's that, I did see that. That's actually, that was a sick idea.
I, I was, I was jealous of that.

Speaker 8 That any, I mean, that's why I need to think about it because you need to come up with something original. Like, pigs in a blanket, never been at that dinner.

Speaker 8 I'm sure there's guys that are sitting there and they're like, what is this? Like, is it a hot dog? Like, what am I eating?

Speaker 1 Right. Uh-huh.
Right.

Speaker 8 So, I'm all, yeah, I'll, I'll need to think of something creative.

Speaker 1 If that, I got to win the damn thing first, but then I'll have, I'll have a year to think about it well here's something creative if you want to do a big piece of meat we'll just have it be big piece of meat and uh our intern billy cooks it and it's just the worst piece of meat ever so it's like that's the mat just offends everyone at augusta forever and it's like special it says on the menu like specially cooked by a man who does not know how to cook meat in billy football oh my god

Speaker 1 I was just gonna say everyone gets eat E.

Speaker 4 coli the next day because Billy didn't cook it correctly.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes.

Speaker 8 I love the line that you guys used when you were talking about me on the recap.

Speaker 8 He looks like Billy, if he didn't play sports, he did TikTok instead.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 8 That was amazing.

Speaker 1 What? So,

Speaker 1 like,

Speaker 1 how much do you weigh? We can say this because we're friends. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 No,

Speaker 8 honest to God, 165.

Speaker 1 Do you think you can put a little weight on that frame?

Speaker 8 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 8 I'm a yo-yo. That's the part that's so funny is like, I've been up to 180.
I go down to like 155. And so the last like year, I've been kind of in this weird, like 160, 165 spot.

Speaker 8 But I think I'll, I think probably this offseason, I'll do a little bit of bulking up.

Speaker 8 Not, I mean, not Bryson level by any means, but the main reason is just because it's like, if I'm going to play 30 weeks out here, like I got to have some reserves.

Speaker 8 Like it's just, it's one thing to do it in January through April, but, you know, when it comes to September and it's just like all systems go going after a FedEx cup, like, I got to have some reserves.

Speaker 4 Yeah. I think what we do is we, we make like a documentary, like Bryson did his own at-home documentary about how he put on whatever, 60 pounds.

Speaker 4 We just make it your goal to get up to 180 pounds, the quest for 180. And then all you do is you just eat a big Texas cinnamon roll every single day.

Speaker 1 One a day until you hit 180. And then, and then I think you're good.

Speaker 4 I think then you avoid all the skinny jokes out there yeah yeah no y'all are hired as nutritionists okay

Speaker 1 that's a dangerous thing to do we've got her plate have you seen us like that's okay no no you know what i will take that job we will take that job that's absolutely great how much do you bench god i all these golf workouts we don't like grab an actual bench it's always like one-handed like

Speaker 8 isometric stuff. So I probably haven't benched probably since college, but

Speaker 8 yeah, I don't even know.

Speaker 8 I'd probably look like Kevin Durant in the combine where they gave him the 225 and went straight to his chest, and I had to pick it back up.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes, that's okay, that's okay.

Speaker 1 Um, so I, the, the, uh, reason I started to bet on you was Jim Nance was talking about, uh, how much Tony Romo loves you, and he's golfed with you a bunch, and like, he's get, you know, Will's going to be a stud, and I'm so sick of Tony Romo being right.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm wrong, so I was like, all right, I'm going to bet on him. Turns out Tony Romo was not right this time, whatever.
That's beside the point. But you do golf a lot with Tony Romo, correct?

Speaker 1 Like, is he as good as everyone says he is?

Speaker 8 Yeah, we kind of over the last two to probably three years, we've played a lot of golf. Like when we had our COVID four-month break, we played five days a week.

Speaker 8 I mean, some days it was, or some weeks it was like literally two weeks straight, just a standing game every single day.

Speaker 8 And, you know, I'll pay the guy a compliment even though it tastes like vinegar coming out of my mouth because we, our little money matches are, you know,

Speaker 8 they're death matches i mean we're trying to absolutely beat each other's brains in but the guy works at it he's taught me i mean he's taught me a lot about how he went about playing football and there's a lot of stuff that kind of goes back to golf and

Speaker 8 um

Speaker 8 there's some questions that he asks that i don't even know the answer to like there's just they're so out there the guy just eats, breathes golf.

Speaker 8 I mean, just, I mean, he's sending me swing videos at 1130 some nights of him just hitting balls in his, you know, bare feet. And he goes, well, what do you think about this move? Cause Hogan did it.

Speaker 8 I'm like, dude, go to bed.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 8 if I'm not up practicing right now, I think you're good. Like, just go to sleep.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 8 And, but he just, I mean, that's the thing is like,

Speaker 8 he, he can be as good as he wants to be. I think the next step for him is just going to be learning.

Speaker 8 And

Speaker 8 I learning kind of like how to play the game. The guy is a genius when it comes to the mechanics.

Speaker 8 Like, he understands people's golf swings better than I even think some coaches do with their students, just because he sits there and he studies them nonstop.

Speaker 8 But it's like, if I stick him behind a tree and it's like, okay, safe par from here, that's what we got to work on.

Speaker 4 So,

Speaker 1 that's good. He'll get there.
Yeah. He'll get there.

Speaker 4 I mean, it speaks to his mentality. That's kind of what made him a successful quarterback was having that drive to be like, okay, I'm going to work at night when everybody else isn't.

Speaker 4 And even though I'm, you know, a kid from a small small school, I might get to be the starting quarterback of the Cowboys.

Speaker 4 Does he, does he talk to the ball when it's in the air or when he's putting and it's rolling in?

Speaker 1 Is he like, I don't know.

Speaker 8 Um,

Speaker 8 no, but he does with everybody else, though. He's a guy that it's probably the, it's so funny because it's like, we'll be playing a game against each other and he'll be like, how far do you have?

Speaker 8 What'd you hit? How'd you hit it? How far do you think you carried that? And I'm like, I don't know. Just hit a shot.
You're probably going to not get it inside of me.

Speaker 1 Let's just move on. Okay.
Like, just,

Speaker 8 he always asks like the non-stop questions. And it's like, finally, when he's on my team, he's like the greatest teammate ever.
But it's like, when you're funny, gets him, he's like, what'd you hit?

Speaker 8 How far? Where's the wind going? I'm like, oh, my God. Like,

Speaker 1 that's funny. Yeah, he's trying to find that edge.
I mean, everyone says that he's a really, really good golfer. It'd be crazy if he went to the PJA tour.

Speaker 1 I don't know if he like, what is that difference? Because he's obviously very good. He probably beat you some days, but

Speaker 1 is it really like that much more of a mountain that he he has to climb to get to that level so his good days are totally good enough to play at tour level um

Speaker 8 it's just the bad is just where he's got to fix it and you know i think he's a great chipper and putter he's a pretty good iron player for him it's just getting off the tee and the days when he drives it well i give him three shots a side in our game so he gets six shots total and if he drives it well it's going to be really hard for me to beat him i mean that's the thing about him is like just because he doesn't he's not the greatest driver and he'll figure it out.

Speaker 8 Like the guy, like I said, he's just non-stop. He hits golf balls just every day.
It's like if the family dinner's at six, he's like, oh, that means I can leave at six. It's like,

Speaker 8 dude, go home, get out of here, come back tomorrow. Like you've been hitting balls for eight hours today.

Speaker 8 But the big thing with him is that when he drives it well, he's going to make like five or six birdies. And that means I'm going to have to go out and shoot like 63 or four to beat him.

Speaker 8 And he's capable of doing it, but it's just the days where it's like, you know, I start missing fairways and, you know, all of a sudden makes two or three birdies instead, shoots 75 or six.

Speaker 8 And that's just the difference. But that he'll get there.
That's the thing. It's like the guy, the guy just loves it.
I mean, he even said it about football. It's an unhealthy obsession.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 I believe it. So, were you able to see the Adam Sandler tweet at you before you teed off on Sunday? Did you know that he was out there watching you?

Speaker 8 No.

Speaker 8 So I didn't see it till Sunday night. And I've gotten that comparison probably since I was like 17.

Speaker 8 I qualified for an event in LA or the LA Open

Speaker 8 and Golf Channel posted a picture of me. And I had long hair back then, too.
And they're like, oh my God, this guy's, you know, Sandler or Happy Gilmore's caddies playing in the PGA tour now.

Speaker 8 Like, who the hell is this kid? And then. I finally let the hair grow back out during COVID.
And of course, it's just like non-stop now with, you know, more publicity with Owen Wilson, Happy Gilmore.

Speaker 8 Butch Harmon said, I look like a one-iron without a grip on it. I mean, it's like, so I just, I love it.
I think it's so funny.

Speaker 1 I think there are

Speaker 4 no worst comparisons that you could have. Yeah.
Like they could call you Post Malone or Kid Rock all the time, and that would suck if that happened to you.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 4 I do think you look more like Billy. I think you're like vegan Billy football.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's also refreshing because you, you know, a lot of times,

Speaker 1 not even just golf, every sport, you know, athletes take themselves very seriously. So to have fun with it shows like that's what we're looking for in a team member in this crew.

Speaker 1 I saw, congrats on getting verified. I saw when you, like on Saturday, I think you had 3,000 Twitter followers.
Now you have 60,000 plus. So that's kind of cool.
Has it been just a whirlwind?

Speaker 1 I mean, I'd imagine it's got to be a little, you had the U.S. Open, but this was the Masters, and it was, you know,

Speaker 1 finishing second. It has to be a little bit crazy in your head, I'd imagine.

Speaker 8 Yeah, it's a little different. I mean, the part that's been funny to me is like, you know, everything's still fresh.

Speaker 8 And so, you know, I go to Whole Foods to go pick up some, you know, water and whatnot. And all of a sudden, this guy's like, oh my God, love watching.
You got to get a picture.

Speaker 4 And I'm like, dude, I finished second.

Speaker 8 Like, I didn't win.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 8 yeah, I'm like, you know, it's great. I mean, it's obviously, you know, being the underdog, I think is what a lot of people really loved.
And I felt it on Sunday, too.

Speaker 8 But I don't think it'll, I mean, it's not really been a whirlwind, but I think it'll kind of kick in when I go back home and just kind of see all the boys and whatnot and

Speaker 8 kind of try to go back to a little more normality. And all of a sudden, it's like, no, this is different.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, now you have the protection of us.

Speaker 4 Do you have any enemies?

Speaker 1 Yeah, we need to know that.

Speaker 8 No,

Speaker 8 I mean, I'm still, I mean, I'm still a rookie, man. I haven't had enough time to make any enemies out here.

Speaker 4 Yeah, well, just in general, like, what's your least favorite airline?

Speaker 1 Or just anything that you don't like?

Speaker 4 I need to know something that you hate so I can also start to hate it.

Speaker 8 Oh, God. I got to think about this.

Speaker 8 Oh, wow. The fact you mentioned airline, thinking this through, when my bag's 52 pounds and they want to charge me 100 bucks.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 8 That to me, that's like all-time irk.

Speaker 1 You should, I mean, in that situation, this is good that you're on so we can help you problem solve this.

Speaker 1 You could simply say to them, hey, guys, like, my bag plus me is not even a real, like, grown man, so don't worry about it.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I've, I've probably saved $1,000 for some of the airlines from kind of sticking my foot underneath the bag a little bit and kind of lifting it up when it's on the scale.

Speaker 4 So, but it does, it does balance out. Like, you could be 50 pounds heavier.
Right.

Speaker 1 Right. Yeah.

Speaker 8 It'd be like that Ocean's 12 character and they put him in the bag.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Like nothing happened.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Like I'm re like you could just point to a guy like me standing there with a huge bag and a fat belly.
You're like, that guy's like 350 pounds on the plane.

Speaker 1 And you're getting on me and I'm like 185 combined.

Speaker 1 All right, so no enemies. That's good.

Speaker 1 So basically what we're going to do is, now that you're part of the crew, I don't think we're even going to open it to anyone else because, again,

Speaker 1 we're not big golf guys, but we're big root for our guys, guys.

Speaker 4 The only other guy that I could see us letting into the club is the guy that just vapes all the time.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 8 Kiradak off in Bonra.

Speaker 4 Yeah, open invite to that guy who's just always blowing clouds on the golf course. That guy's fucking awesome.

Speaker 8 Did you guys ever see the podcast that he did when he talked about his apartment for his shoes?

Speaker 1 No. Yeah,

Speaker 4 he's got like $100,000 worth of Yeezys or something like that, right?

Speaker 8 Yeah, he's got it. So I don't remember exactly what the number is, but I know that he had an apartment for his shoes.
And I think his wife found out about the apartment.

Speaker 8 She's like, what the hell is this?

Speaker 8 And he like showed it to her and he was like, She's like, Really? Like, I mean, this is it? Like,

Speaker 1 it's so

Speaker 8 I was watching, I can't remember what podcast that was, but that was really funny.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's invited, otherwise, it's just the three of you guys. We need a good, we need a good group nickname for you, too.

Speaker 1 So, I don't know, we're tossing around a couple of those, but we'll figure out a nickname, but yeah, it's essentially we are, and you just got to know that, like, we're going to root for Brooks, number one, because he's the OG.

Speaker 1 Um, Max, whenever, you know, I don't know, is he

Speaker 1 competes, so we'll root for him. Big Cat loves

Speaker 1 slandering Max. Well, because he

Speaker 4 costs Big Cat money.

Speaker 1 No, well, also, he can take it because he's the Twitter Rose guy. So it's actually lovingly like, I know Max can handle a good joke.
Max is very good.

Speaker 1 Although, are you ahead of him in the rankings now?

Speaker 8 I don't know.

Speaker 8 I really don't know. Oh, shit.
I mean, the guy's won twice.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 4 But you got second, which in U.S. rugby terms, you're above him.

Speaker 1 No, so Max is number two.

Speaker 1 And then you'll be three. So essentially, if Brooks and Max can't win, you are,

Speaker 1 we want you to win every single tournament. Without a doubt,

Speaker 1 without a doubt, we'll be tweeting about it. We'll be having your back.
Anyone who comes at us, we'll fight them online. This is all online, by the way.

Speaker 4 Just so you know. Once it crosses over, then that's your bulkier brother, Billy's.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Billy will fight physically if he needs to, but it's pretty much just defending your honor.

Speaker 1 And, you know, like, here's a little tip for you there will be the better you get the more uh acclaim you get there will be people who will hate you and we will take care of them we will tell them i love it and we'll spin zone the hell out of it so like i don't know if you saw it did you see brooks on thursday and friday uh

Speaker 8 no i didn't but i saw that he uh Saw his comments put that way

Speaker 1 and he was a hero.

Speaker 1 Next time you see him, I'd appreciate if you saluted him for everything he's done for us in the game of golf.

Speaker 8 I'll do that anyway, just because he's so much bigger than me.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 4 I've got actually a golf-related question about Augusta, about the course, because we respect that course a lot, and everyone always talks about how undulated the greens are the local knowledge, as Scott Van Pelt put it on Monday.

Speaker 4 You hadn't played, had you played it before at all?

Speaker 4 Just once.

Speaker 4 So when you're hitting shots and the ball is landing, were there any shots on Saturday or Sunday where you thought that you were absolutely fucked, where you got a great kick from the uh from the augusta gods where you're like i didn't know that mound was there but it helped me out i had on

Speaker 8 what was it i think it was first thing that comes to mind is definitely sunday

Speaker 8 well actually first day definitely first day number 15.

Speaker 8 the greens obviously were baked out like crazy. They were just so firm and you had to be so precise.
And the pins on the front right corner on that far five.

Speaker 8 And I had like 195 in. So, and I'm a little bit downwind.
And everyone's just landing the ball in the front section of the green.

Speaker 8 It's just taking one 25-foot hop going over the back, and then they're chipping it basically straight downhill with water behind them.

Speaker 8 And I think one of the guys playing actually putted one in the water from like 25 feet.

Speaker 8 But I landed one in a basically a 10-inch section of fringe that was right by a sprinkler head. And so it was just a hair softer.

Speaker 8 And it lands, just basically plops left, catches the fringe, rolls down the hill, goes like eight feet, and I make eagle.

Speaker 8 And it's like, if that thing literally lands on the green, it is 30 yards past that hole.

Speaker 1 That's crazy. That's so.

Speaker 8 That's like, that's like a

Speaker 8 one and a half, maybe probably one and a half, almost two shot swing right there. Yeah.

Speaker 4 So the Augusta guy. Did you bow to the course afterwards? You should have.

Speaker 8 Yeah, he's the OG on that one. He's got me there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was cool. That was a very cool move.
What are you golfing?

Speaker 4 Are you golfing in a tournament this weekend?

Speaker 8 Yeah, I'm at Hilton Head. I'm going to play Hilton Head, and I got a couple weeks off.

Speaker 1 Okay. So is that way is Hilton Head.

Speaker 4 It's not. No, don't play in the Puerto Rico Open.

Speaker 1 Yeah, don't play in the Puerto Rico Open.

Speaker 4 If you win that, you're fucked.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's actually true. That's true.

Speaker 8 Yeah, thankfully, I think it's an opposite field of us. So I just, I'll be in one of the WGCs.

Speaker 1 And then, wait, is Hilton Head, is this a PGA event?

Speaker 8 Yeah, I'm teeing off tomorrow. I got

Speaker 8 Brooks. I got Dustin Johnson and Billy Horschel.
So, so much for going off last of each wave and bringing in the flagsticks for everybody. And,

Speaker 8 you know,

Speaker 8 putting me at the back of the pack. It's a little different now.

Speaker 1 Jeez. Well, I guess that's great.

Speaker 4 We're going to have a root for you this weekend.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we're big time rooting for you. Is Max in this?

Speaker 1 I got to start seeing Maximum. I got to start being nice to Max.

Speaker 4 We love Max. We're

Speaker 1 homosexuals. I actually do love Max, and I know he can take it.
That's why I say these things, but I've got to start being nicer to him. I don't see him there.
All right, you know what?

Speaker 1 He's probably just resting up for the next one that he's going to win.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, this has been awesome.
We thank you. We appreciate you coming on.
Oh, one last rule. If you ever win a tournament, you have to come on that Sunday night.

Speaker 8 That's Sunday night.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 8 We'll make that happen.

Speaker 1 Well, actually, no.

Speaker 1 You could, yeah, that Sunday night. Yeah, you know, 10, 15 minutes.
Actually, yeah, Brooks called us from, I think, the bar after he won the

Speaker 1 U.S. Open.
So, yeah, yes, that's Sunday night.

Speaker 8 If Brooks is going to call you after winning the U.S. Open, hell yeah.
Call me in. We'll have a few beers.
We'll talk everything over.

Speaker 1 How about that?

Speaker 4 Yeah, you just have to do a quick face. Tell you what, if we can lock that in and guarantee it, we'll give you back 5% of your career earnings from this point forward.
So we only keep 95%.

Speaker 1 Deal? Perfect.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I'm all in on that. I'm glad the non-negotiable got taken off the table there.
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 You just got power shifted. Yeah, we'll just power shift to you.
Oh, man. All right.
Well, thanks so much, man. Really appreciate it.
Good luck this weekend. We'll be rooting.

Speaker 1 I don't think Brooks or Max are playing, so you're our guy.

Speaker 8 I love it. Thanks, boys.

Speaker 1 Really appreciate it. Very happy for you.
Thanks, man.

Speaker 1 What's up, guys? It's Big Cat here making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey.

Speaker 4 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.
All right, let's wrap up. We got Fire Fest of the week.
Hank, grandpa, update?

Speaker 3 I have not been back to the dog park.

Speaker 4 Okay, there's the update. So Normie's getting fat.

Speaker 3 No, we're just going long walks.

Speaker 1 Well, he's thick and fat.

Speaker 4 Is he a pog? And long.

Speaker 1 And long.

Speaker 4 Sounds like he's just a pog.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he's not fat at all. If he was fat, he wouldn't even be able to walk because his stomach would be on the ground.
I have a couple fire fests. Someone else dragging on the fire.

Speaker 3 Well, one is about Normie.

Speaker 3 Rhea, a girlfriend, she posted like a tick tock about her dog being cute or whatever and someone was like all right you know let's see the dog so she posted tick tock with like cute pictures of norman and the comments just absolutely as i felt like you know big cat i hope i hope your your kid never gets bullied i hope he never comes home and is like look at all these people said mean things about me as a father i felt so bad it broke my heart uh just people saying the meanest things do you have an ugly dog people people saying he looks like steve buscemi yeah

Speaker 1 steve buscemi is actually good looking. And that dog looks like a collection of genetic errors.

Speaker 3 511 likes. Oh, wait, say that again.
Hold on, say that again. That dog looks like...
And keep in mind, it's from

Speaker 3 User 563-4569823. And the picture is Getter from

Speaker 3 Real Bros, the baby guy. And it says, that dog looks like a collection of genetic errors.
That's the comment.

Speaker 3 I see the TikTok.

Speaker 1 I'm like, oh, it's a cute.

Speaker 3 Obviously, my dog's cute. Let's see what the comments say.
Top comment is roasting him.

Speaker 1 That's what we're doing.

Speaker 3 And the second comment says Norman looks like Steve Basceme.

Speaker 1 But Steve Basceme, again, like, he's kind of a heart throb if you look at it right. Yeah.

Speaker 1 There is a special place in hell for people who comment about a dog's looks online.

Speaker 4 People said my hedgehog looked like a naked mole rat. Well, it did.

Speaker 1 Dude, we're not saying huge. Hedgehogs aren't really.

Speaker 1 Hedgehogs are not. He's not a pet.
He gives a forever.

Speaker 4 Everyone looks exactly like a naked mole rat.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Jesus.

Speaker 1 Billy was trying to debatable dogs.

Speaker 1 Yeah, dude, that reminds me of the time that. Listen, my worm farm got roasted on Twitter, too.

Speaker 4 People don't like cool stuff.

Speaker 1 Yeah, my albino salamander? People were saying it wasn't hot.

Speaker 3 I actually have another one that I wasn't going to bring to the show. I forgot to text you guys.
I was going to say it for the show. I forgot about it until right now.

Speaker 3 On Saturday, remember we talked about like you're going to have to get Norman's horny up, whatever.

Speaker 1 Yeah, for the boys.

Speaker 3 For the boys. It happened.
He started humping, going crazy. His dick came all the way out, and he just like stood there for 10 minutes, not moving.

Speaker 3 And I felt bad for him, so I got an ice cube out, and I had to hold an ice cube on his dick so it would go back in.

Speaker 1 Oh, hey, that doesn't.

Speaker 4 You didn't have to do that. I did.
You could have just not touched his penis.

Speaker 3 No, I did that for 10 minutes, and he just literally stood still.

Speaker 4 But no, no, I'm curious what went through your head where you're like, my dog has a boner. I better go to the freezer and get an ice cube out and then hold it onto his penis.

Speaker 3 Because he stood still for 10 minutes, just staring.

Speaker 1 He's even neutered yet? Yes.

Speaker 3 And I was like, all right, I got to do something because clearly

Speaker 1 down bad. I got to jerk him off.
So

Speaker 4 he was just like staring at you just with a huge boner hanging out.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Dog Sean Watson.

Speaker 1 Damn. Yeah, it was.
Damn.

Speaker 9 It was tough.

Speaker 3 So, yeah, I'm not even going to go into my other Fire Fest.

Speaker 1 It's not even as tough. What is your other Fire Fest? Well,

Speaker 3 I saw Quiggs' tweet. He's down way worse, but Dogecoin is blowing up.

Speaker 3 He has been in on this for like 10 years. Like, Liam was there.
We were joking around. This is like a year and a half ago.
It was late night. We were joking around.
He had been talking about Doge.

Speaker 3 I was like, all right, sell me on Doge. He did.
I was like, all right, I'm going to put $500 into it. Basically, as a joke.
And then I ended up selling it a little while later.

Speaker 3 Like, it didn't do anything for like two months.

Speaker 4 And now it's just like, how much would it have been worth?

Speaker 1 He

Speaker 3 on

Speaker 3 July 6, 2020, said, I am now a proud owner of 1.3 million Dogecoin. That would be worth like 250 grand or something.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 dude, he also has, he used to get paid in Bitcoin and he lost the wallet. Yeah.
Like, like in 2011.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so he, like, I feel kind of the same way. Because

Speaker 3 I would probably have like 10 grand or something, but at least I'm not Quakes.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Well, he's you got paper hands.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Jesus.

Speaker 4 I still have my Dogecoin. It wasn't that much, but I'm, I'm looking pretty nice.
My portfolio is very strong at the moment.

Speaker 1 That's crazy. Damn.
All right, PFT, what's your fire fest?

Speaker 4 My fire fest of the week is I lost my beach house.

Speaker 1 Ah, so I have all our fire fest.

Speaker 4 I know, man. I'm telling you, it would have been how'd you lose it? It was going to be sick.
They ended up selling the house.

Speaker 1 That's what they tell people they don't want to rent it to. Listen,

Speaker 4 it was going to be white boy summer. They had an offer that I knew the offer was coming through.

Speaker 1 I didn't know if it was going to hit.

Speaker 4 But it was perfect. It was right on the beach, on the Jersey shore, right next to a bar, like literally on the beach.
So now I got to go back to zero. I'm still getting the Jeep.

Speaker 4 I'm still going Jeep Wrangler, taking all the doors off. It's going to be the summer PFT.
Just live there.

Speaker 4 Live out of the Jeep on the beach. That's not a bad idea.
Actually, yeah, it's a terrible idea. But now I got to go back to square one and start looking for beach houses on the beach.

Speaker 4 And they're few and far between right now. So I'm probably going to end up getting a dump as opposed to this really nice one.
Damn.

Speaker 4 And I was just, I would spend all day just looking at the Airbnb, looking at the porch overlooking the ocean. Yeah.
Just thinking to myself, that's going to be you this summer.

Speaker 4 And now I got to do it all over again.

Speaker 1 Damn.

Speaker 4 I know. It really is a fire fest for me.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 All right, I have two fire fests

Speaker 1 Holy shit. Hold on

Speaker 1 here we go

Speaker 1 This is the pump-up part of the song though. This literally isn't the sad part.

Speaker 4 You know what?

Speaker 3 I'm gonna see me holding an ice cube on Norman's deck.

Speaker 4 You're trying to fix him. No, you already fixed him.
Yeah

Speaker 1 All right, my fire fest so I have two one is

Speaker 1 The you bring it up Hank about how you hope no one ever bullies my son. Well, I had a moment at the park on Sunday where I realized I might be

Speaker 1 the sun park.

Speaker 1 I might be that guy who ends up getting in like a fight at a little league game because

Speaker 1 like a five-year-old kid stole the ball from my son, who's not even two, and I just ripped it out of the five-year-old kid's hand.

Speaker 1 And then the dad looked at me like, what are you doing? I'm like, well, what's your son doing?

Speaker 4 You know what that is? That's a big sunglasses on the back of the head upside down guy move.

Speaker 1 I don't know what to do. I mean, his son was way older than mine, and he just stole the ball from our ball.
And I was like, you can't take that.

Speaker 4 Now your son's going to think they have to step in for all of his fights in the future.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I probably shouldn't have just let him. But it was like a four.

Speaker 1 The difference between five and

Speaker 1 less than two is significant.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but that's when he learns to be an underdog.

Speaker 1 True. Okay.
All right. Rob,

Speaker 1 have you talked about war mode yet? Yeah, I'll teach him war mode. I'll have him look in my eyes and be like, listen.

Speaker 4 You got to teach him that Oklahoma wrestler move. Put some cowboy boots on him.
You like, just touch the side of his face and then boom.

Speaker 1 The A.J. Ferrari, the guy who was like,

Speaker 1 took the ACT once, 25, no big deal.

Speaker 1 The other Firefest is my other son,

Speaker 1 Billy. So, Instagram, which I actually understand they've gotten a little bit better about bullying and all this stuff.
Our Instagram, pardon my takes Instagram, got flagged.

Speaker 1 And I asked Gaz what the flag was for, because Gaz told me we got flagged. It was the picture of Billy's nose.
So that was deemed bullying.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 I didn't do it. Did you report? I didn't do it.

Speaker 4 I 100% didn't do it. Okay.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 Why does everyone think I'm reporting?

Speaker 4 Billy did. This happened just, what, a month ago?

Speaker 1 We had this conversation about Twitter. Is it the video?

Speaker 1 Interesting.

Speaker 4 Is it the video or you just post the picture of the video?

Speaker 1 I think it's the picture of the nose that's... Yeah, it's interesting that it got flagged.
Bro, I just have to do it. Unbelievable coincidence.

Speaker 4 I just

Speaker 1 have to.

Speaker 1 What were you saying about my son fighting his Twitter?

Speaker 1 Now, Instagram. No, this is not fun.

Speaker 3 Are we going to take our TikTok next?

Speaker 4 Dude, people have been making fun of my nose since my nose actually grew before my body. So I even had this nose

Speaker 4 and I was just like...

Speaker 1 Now it's fine. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Then your body totally grew into it.

Speaker 1 I kind of like constantly falling over because your nose was so heavy.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but like, you know, I grew up

Speaker 1 when we had like a bunch of people. Let me just say, like,

Speaker 1 someone had to alert Instagram.

Speaker 3 Someone had to be like, someone should take a look at these billions.

Speaker 4 What the fuck about my nose? People in middle school used to make fun of my nose on Yik Yak, which is anonymous, and you used to read it.

Speaker 1 And it was like, I'm like so desensitized to bullying that the Billy Football Army is. Yeah, so Billy.
It's too sensitive. Billy, maybe the Army's too sensitive.
It's the berserker blood cult, boys.

Speaker 1 I'm going to assume you didn't report it, but I just want it clear that

Speaker 1 it's legally in your contract. Like, we are legally allowed to bully you.
Yeah, no. Okay, that's kind of why you're here.

Speaker 1 Right, right. So, like, Instagram be like, hey, that's bullying.
We're going to counter-sue them. Be like, no, no, no.
That's the guy we're allowed to bully. Yes, 100%.

Speaker 4 All right, so nobody make fun of us for making fun of Billy's notice. Nobody report us.
What was the other thing that you got in trouble? Interesting. The hydration.
Hydration.

Speaker 1 The hydration. He fucking he reported Chris Long's Twitter.

Speaker 4 I did not report his Twitter. Twitter was reporting people who posted about...
On the eve of 420, no less.

Speaker 4 That were posting about the city of Akron, and they'd automatically report them for some reason.

Speaker 1 You just found this out? Sounds like you know a lot of people. You just find this out.
Because I'm talking about

Speaker 1 Twitter cops.

Speaker 4 I was trying to find out if if I could like show people I didn't report anything.

Speaker 1 The best part is there was a memo sent around to all Twitter security that Billy is part of.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 So Billy, instead of looking at trends when he goes to the new expenses or like the Discover tab, you just see like the most 10 popular reported things, and then you go through those and you report all those.

Speaker 4 You're in a reverse hype group. You're in a hate group.

Speaker 1 You're in a hate group. What?

Speaker 4 Billy's hate group. Dude, I don't report shit.

Speaker 1 Billy, what's your firefest besides the fact that we just found out you reported our own Instagram? I,

Speaker 4 you know.

Speaker 1 our own Instagram.

Speaker 4 A lot of dude, I would not report our own Instagram.

Speaker 1 Our own Instagram.

Speaker 3 Billy, just hear me out, though.

Speaker 3 Just humor me. Someone

Speaker 3 saw those comments and took such offense to them that were there like, this is unacceptable.

Speaker 1 This is bullying.

Speaker 3 We need to get this post taken down.

Speaker 1 Who

Speaker 4 would do that? Dude.

Speaker 1 Who?

Speaker 1 Big tech is a problem. Uh-huh.
Yep. With a lot of censorship type stuff.
Okay. Like, they posted a picture of...

Speaker 3 Part of my Take Instagram has posted pictures, all bad pictures of all of us. All of us.

Speaker 1 Why was the one that conveniently of you the one that got Jean Bullen?

Speaker 3 Dude. They posted PFT short.
They posted Big Cat Fat. They posted the Photoshop of me with no beard.

Speaker 1 They posted

Speaker 4 that one was real, though.

Speaker 1 Looking like a genetic freak. Yep.

Speaker 3 All of the comments just brutal. Bro, why was it the one of you?

Speaker 4 I have no idea.

Speaker 4 Honestly, I'm not even sure if this even happened or existed.

Speaker 1 You're right. Because you guys would have texted it in the...

Speaker 1 show.

Speaker 4 Show some proof that this actually happened.

Speaker 1 Gaz walked up to me this morning and said, hey, just want to give you a heads up. And I said, great.
I will save that for Firefest. Thank you for alerting me.

Speaker 4 If we can't make fun of somebody for having a big nose, then really what's the point of having the internet?

Speaker 1 Or noses.

Speaker 4 Don't say cocaine.

Speaker 1 Don't say frog fucking.

Speaker 1 Right. Anyway, I didn't do it.

Speaker 4 All right, what's your firefest? I know my truth. I didn't work out as hard as I could have this week, and I've been being myself.

Speaker 1 Oh, dude, you should report yourself. That's mean.

Speaker 4 No, I like, you know, this week I actually just like, I skipped a couple workouts, and, you know, I tried to work out really hard today, and I, you know, what wasn't the same. It didn't feel right.

Speaker 4 Mm-hmm. So I'm behind the eight ball.
I cheated myself very hard this week. Yeah, you did.

Speaker 1 We could tell. That's your fire fest.

Speaker 4 How long ago did you come up with that as your fire fast? Dude, how many seconds ago?

Speaker 4 I was working out this morning, and I finished my workout, but I was just like, damn, like, I can't believe I'm not operating.

Speaker 1 Billy, is that

Speaker 4 why you don't have shoelaces so you won't hang yourself because all the mean comments?

Speaker 1 Oh, or is it because you're wearing no shoelaces for your hero that just passed away this week? Bernie Madoff?

Speaker 1 Can you say he was a hero of yours?

Speaker 1 Who's that?

Speaker 4 Okay, sure. Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 Mm-hmm. Yep.

Speaker 4 Yep. I mean, in a way, he kind of was like a king.

Speaker 1 Kind of a G? Yeah, really kind of G.

Speaker 3 Wait, so you're saying you didn't work out as hard this week, so you're feeling insecure about your body?

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 1 All right, Jake, what's yours?

Speaker 4 One is not your guy's fault, but we have serial box part two with the movie poster.

Speaker 1 But not your guys' fault. Not our fault.
It's not our fault, not our fault.

Speaker 4 On the Sean Payton movie push that we made,

Speaker 4 I did not tell them what to put at the bottom of it, and they left Sweet Jake out. Yep.
Sweet Jake, that was not intentional.

Speaker 4 But the fact that it's happened twice kind of means that we have to turn it into a continuing thing where we will, in the future, intentionally leave you off things just because people will alert you to it.

Speaker 1 And good news, Jake,

Speaker 1 we know that you can actually take it instead of like Billy, who will report it. So we'll keep doing fine.

Speaker 4 That's why it would have been marked as contained sensitive material.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Billy.
All right. And your next one? Yeah.

Speaker 4 A place that rhymes with sussed jallad changed their menu and my two favorite salads are now off the board.

Speaker 4 I run into them today and I wasn't happy.

Speaker 4 What are you going to do about it? I mean, I just have to cope. Do you think that there's ever been a fight in a just salad?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 4 Probably not. No, it just seems like the most calm restaurant atmosphere in and out you can think of.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Maybe if they mess up your order, people are like chirping at the bottom.
At a salad price? Yeah. Maybe.

Speaker 3 I just think it's absurd that they have winter and summer menus in a fucking salad place.

Speaker 1 Well, dude, you gotta see it.

Speaker 4 It's salad.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, it's salad.

Speaker 1 Green shit. I don't want any pink sheer in green winter.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but what's like, it's salad.

Speaker 1 Uh-huh.

Speaker 3 What's the difference between salad in the winter and salad in the summer?

Speaker 4 It's like saying, what's the difference between football in the fall and football in the spring? How many Jackson State games have you watched?

Speaker 1 You know what?

Speaker 1 You're probably one of those guys who thinks, like, oh, I'll eat a pear at any point in the year.

Speaker 4 Yes. No.
No, until you eat an off-season pear. Eh.

Speaker 1 If you eat an off-season pear.

Speaker 1 Oh, every tomato is made the same. No.
Eh.

Speaker 1 There's seasons, bro.

Speaker 4 You ever eat like a dead of winter avocado?

Speaker 4 It stinks.

Speaker 3 You guys are talking about individual items.

Speaker 3 I'm talking about a menu.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 And it's six. Taco Bell does not have a fucking winter menu and a summer menu.
