Speaker 2 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One-made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 2 Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's Cookies and Cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 2 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 2 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 1 On today's part of my take, we have Eli Manning. Awesome interview with Eli Manning, Future Hall of Famer Eli Manning.
We've wanted to interview him for a very long time

Speaker 1 and it was fun. It was a great time.
We're going to talk a little masters.

Speaker 3 We have Fire Fest of the week.

Speaker 1 I got a big announcement. Ooh, a little teaser there.
So you're going to have to listen until the end. No spoilers.

Speaker 1 And we have a great Just Friday show. Gonna have some fun with the boys.
Before we do that.

Speaker 4 When Cool Creamy Ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy howdy, partner to new buffalo ranch sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 3 At participating McDonald's. Hey, it's PFT here reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 1 Welcome to Pardon My Tape, presented by HelloFresh.com.

Speaker 1 Go to hellofresh.com, use code pmt12 for 12 free meals and free shipping and also shady raise.com use that code pmt there and you get 50 off two or more pairs of awesome sunglasses today is friday april 9th i miss tiger woods yeah well i i tried to put a bet on him to as a future to win the master just out of respect just to get the good luck going and you know the sad thing is like if that bet would have hit i would have donated all the winnings to the control room i would would have doubled it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I would have doubled it.

Speaker 3 I would have matched your double.

Speaker 1 I would have doubled it, and then I would have tripled the double. So what is that? Compound interest, six, carry the two.

Speaker 1 It would have been a lot of money.

Speaker 3 A ton of money to the controls.

Speaker 1 That we were going to give away. But there's something about, I mean, the Masters are great.

Speaker 1 We've had Masters without Tiger Woods, but he just feels like the force that is around, especially on the Thursday and Friday, because Saturday is Sunday.

Speaker 1 Once we get to moving day, which we're golf guys, we know what moving day is.

Speaker 1 It's Saturday. But once you get to the weekend, the field kind of clears up and you're like, all right, here's what we got.

Speaker 1 But the first two days, you're just watching golf and trying, you know, we're rooting for Brooks. We're trying to see how things shake out.
But Tiger was that force.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he is the force that would draw you in.

Speaker 3 Right now, it's like, yeah, we want Brooks to do what we, it's tough to root for the Course at Augusta, too, because in many ways, the Course is already Goliath when it comes to the Masters.

Speaker 3 It is the,

Speaker 3 you know, everyone talks about how nice it is. And listening to the broadcast this year, I'm more convinced than ever that the birds are actually piped in crowds.
Agreed.

Speaker 3 There's one bird in particular. They play its call over and over and over.

Speaker 1 It's cardinal, I think.

Speaker 3 They're getting sloppy with it. I think it might be a whipperwill.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 3 But whatever it is, it's very obvious. You guys need better birds.
You need a new bird guy on your soundtrack because it's getting to the point where it's kind of obvious.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and

Speaker 1 this course is playing tough. That's going to be the big story coming out of the first day.
The greens are dry. dry.
It's running everywhere.

Speaker 3 But you want to play early in the day. You want to play early in the day.

Speaker 1 You want to hope for a little rain. And Bryson DeChambo, who has dubbed this a par 67 at the time of this taping, is

Speaker 1 plus four.

Speaker 1 So more like a par 76?

Speaker 1 76. Did he reveal? Par 71? 72.
72. 76.

Speaker 3 Did he reveal what was in his bag?

Speaker 3 He was trying to get us all to be interested. Bryson did a classic Bryson thing where he's like, okay, I've got a little bit of goodwill going from the video.
I've made a friend of Big Cat.

Speaker 3 Big Cat is sweating me right now. By the way, we're bringing back sweating.

Speaker 1 You're sweating too.

Speaker 1 Did you see the news that we found after we taped the show on Tuesday? That Bryson, to clear his head before playing in the Masters this weekend, went and played a little disc golf.

Speaker 1 He banged some chains. So he's...
I actually wouldn't put it past Bryson to do everything just to get favor of this podcast. Yeah, we would.
And that's not narcissistic at all.

Speaker 1 I just think that he really wants our love.

Speaker 3 If he puts a Doge driver cover on his big boy, on his like 50-inch driver, at that point, I'll be like, Yeah, Bryson to the moon. But until that happens,

Speaker 1 when he wears a hat that says, Bears are back, yeah,

Speaker 1 like, I fucking, I'm on to you, dude.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so Bryson, uh, you kind of threw away what little goodwill you had going by doing the whole, like, guess what's in my bag this week? And I'm going to shock the world.

Speaker 1 And we're not going to bash Bryson for this whole show.

Speaker 3 Isn't that a ludicrous song? What in the world's in my bag? Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Come on. Come on, Bryce.
Come on, dude. But here's the problem with Bryson.

Speaker 1 Well, he's got a lot of problems. But the biggest issue that he is facing today, and this is very similar to relief pitchers in MLB.

Speaker 1 When you're bigger and you're doing well, you're strong. And when you're doing poorly, you're fat.

Speaker 3 And he looks fat today.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Not the body shame, but there's something about the plus four next to his name that the strength now becomes a little pudgy.

Speaker 3 Yeah, well, there's that, and there's also the fact that we also have Patrick Reid out there, and Bryson isn't even the most unlikable, unlikable guy.

Speaker 1 Right. That's Patrick.

Speaker 3 I somehow like Patrick Reed more because he's more of a villain than Bryson is.

Speaker 3 I put a future bet on Patrick to win this Masters, mainly because I, yes, I would like to hear Jim Nance recite Imagine Dragons lyrics again. Yes.

Speaker 3 But also because, like, he is, he's the ultimate heel in golf. Bryson is, like, he's an aspiring heel.
Right.

Speaker 1 He's

Speaker 1 embraced it. He still would.

Speaker 1 The difference is, Patrick Reed knows everyone hates him, and he kind of has just accepted it, and he'll complain about rules, and his wife will complain about rules and say, oh, everyone's vilifying Patrick.

Speaker 1 Bryson, if Bryson could flip the switch and we all just loved him, he would take that. Patrick Reed, I don't think, would take that anymore.

Speaker 1 He's like, wait, if you all love me, then I can't complain about rules and cheat anymore. No deal.
I can't steal wallets allegedly out of my college roommates' locker room.

Speaker 3 Right. Bryson would he would try to get away with cheating.
Patrick Reed would cheat, then get away with it and be like, fuck you guys. Yeah.
I just cheated and won. Right.

Speaker 3 Bryson would be like, I didn't actually cheat.

Speaker 1 Brooks is out there. I want to just, you know, we as a podcast don't make excuses, but I also am just stating a fact.

Speaker 1 Brooks is playing on basically one leg.

Speaker 1 It's probably the most heroic thing I've ever seen in any sport ever. And again, we're not making excuses.
We're not biased. We're stating facts.

Speaker 1 This is like Willis Reed. This is Kirk Gibson.
This is all those things.

Speaker 3 Byron Leftwich being helped down the fairway by his offensive line.

Speaker 1 Correct. Everything that you can think of,

Speaker 1 any of the lowest moments where someone just triumphs over all these injuries and hardships, that's Brooks shooting plus two today.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Ian Rappport tweeted out some report. I don't know if this is a HIPAA violation.
Somehow he got advanced notice on what Brooks's injury was, but it sounded like the most painful thing ever.

Speaker 3 It was like he had to have like two tendons reattached to his shattered patella. Yeah.
And

Speaker 3 he said that it was a one-month surgery, or it's a six-month surgery. He's playing on it after one month.

Speaker 1 It was so bad of an injury that Hank bet against him.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Hank bet against him. Great job, Hank.

Speaker 1 Hank, a theme of this show is we get someone who's, you know.

Speaker 3 Wait, do you guys have a future on him to win the Masters? I didn't bet against him.

Speaker 1 No, I didn't bet against him against Brad. No, don't wait.
So you don't think he's going to win the Masters? Hank, I don't bet. Because I put my money where my mouth is.
I don't put my money

Speaker 1 on a future to win the Masters. I know you bet on him to lose against Bubba Watson today.
Yeah, it's a little bit of a Billy football. You know, head yourself.

Speaker 3 No, I don't bet.

Speaker 1 I knew he was either going to come out of the body

Speaker 1 and win the Masters, or maybe he was going to come out because Big Cat was saying, like, his knees kind of messed up.

Speaker 1 He might come out, try too hard, and realize that it wasn't, it's not his year and have a bad round. So I bet against him in the first round.
But I believe in him for the full turn.

Speaker 1 Here's the thing you don't understand, Hank. When you love someone as much as I love Brooks Kepka, I don't need to put money down.

Speaker 1 You know what my future is on Brooks Kepka? Seeing him happy. Okay? Seeing him succeed.
Seeing him beat all the impossible odds of his injury. He's a walking paralyzed person.

Speaker 3 You can't put a dollar amount on Brooks putting on the green jacket this year.

Speaker 3 That to me would be the most iconic moment.

Speaker 3 It would actually cheapen it if we were making money on that moment.

Speaker 3 And you know what? This is just par for the course for Hank. He's just, you're addicted to rooting against our friends.
You're the opposite of Drake.

Speaker 3 Imagine if I never bet the Broskis. That's what Hank says.
Everybody.

Speaker 1 I did bet the Broskis.

Speaker 1 You bet against the Broski.

Speaker 1 No, you didn't.

Speaker 1 I bet the Broski. Our other Broski, Max Homa, is doing.
You bet on him, too. He's doing pretty well.

Speaker 1 He did reach out after the 5,000 to 1 to make the cut joke.

Speaker 1 He said that was not nice. Oh, interesting.
But who said that? Wait, one of them has said that. No, no, no.
It was a joke. It was a joke.

Speaker 1 And Max said, but I'm the ultimate jokester online, so that's funny. He can take take it.
Yeah. Instead of being like, hey, Max, I didn't bet.
Do you have a bet on Max? Yeah, I do. I do, too.

Speaker 1 And he's losing it. What? So thanks, Max.
What is he doing?

Speaker 1 You know who's Louis Oustas' thousand.

Speaker 3 You know who I really want to see?

Speaker 1 What are you doing fucking betting all these pairings? What are you...

Speaker 1 You're just. I'm riding high.
You're riding high. That Baylor and that Baylor one has, you know.
You're in the post.

Speaker 1 You know what you're in? You're in that post, like, I figured out gambling mode. Yeah.
I'm taking trips. He had that a few weeks ago.

Speaker 1 I got pissed off. I got humbled.
When he's like, hey, I want to go to Detroit next weekend because I want to gamble some more. I was like, shut me up.
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 I mean, the Brooks bet, it was Bubba Watson versus Brooks, and Bubba Watson bogeyed three of the last four holes.

Speaker 3 You deserve it. Yeah, that's Karma.

Speaker 3 That's the universe smiling upon us and taking a leak onto you. You deserve that.
I'm also, I'm rooting for the guy. I think he's tied for second right now or tied for third as we're recording this.

Speaker 3 His name is Zlatoris.

Speaker 3 Zlatoris? Like Klatoris. I would love to spend a weekend hearing Jim Nance say Zlatoris.

Speaker 3 I think it's Z-L-I, like if Zorro performed a female circumcision.

Speaker 1 There it is. Zlatoris.
If you do have a gambling problem, you should call 1-800-GAMLE. There you go.
Thank you, Hank. You do have a gambling problem because you bet against our friends.

Speaker 1 Responsibly, though.

Speaker 1 That's a problem. Betting against our friends is a problem.
But it's not irresponsible. It isn't, but it is also hurtful.
It's an issue. But I actually

Speaker 1 bet on him, so I don't really understand where you're coming from. You bet on it.

Speaker 3 You only bet on him.

Speaker 1 I did exactly what Billy does.

Speaker 3 A defense ready when we said, why'd you bet against him? So you could be like, well, actually, I put $5

Speaker 5 to win.

Speaker 5 Smart, right?

Speaker 5 Honestly, looking back on it, that XL Springfield.

Speaker 1 Wait, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 It's a good idea.

Speaker 1 Legitimately.

Speaker 1 It was the dumbest thing you've ever done.

Speaker 5 Just spend so much time trying to do it.

Speaker 1 To squeeze out like $2.

Speaker 3 And it wasn't fun.

Speaker 3 We did have a dad sighting at the Masters and not the John Ram one.

Speaker 3 Rory McElroy hit his dad with an iron shot. That was pretty sick.

Speaker 1 Pretty funny.

Speaker 1 All right, what else we got? Oh, Sean Miller got fired from Arizona. I love college basketball's trend that it's like you either get fired or you get a lifetime contract like Bill Self.

Speaker 1 Did you see that Sean Miller apparently he's going to get an assistant coaching job in the NBA? So that seems like his immediate future, which is hilarious that that someone who is sons?

Speaker 1 Well, no, it's someone who is under sanctions

Speaker 1 and alleged sanctions and all these things and bad dealings with agents and everything. And then someone owes him a favor in the NBA because he's just quickly becoming

Speaker 3 at the same time. That seems like the logical because he's not going to get hired anywhere in college basketball right now.

Speaker 3 The only place that would hire Sean Miller would be LSU, who currently has their own coach that they're just not going to fire

Speaker 3 because it's Louisiana and they don't care. And so, anywhere else,

Speaker 3 there's probably going to be like a show cause for him where he won't be able to get a job. So, it does make sense he would go to the NBA, rehabilitate himself.

Speaker 3 Who's the basketball version of Nick Sabin? Where if you're in trouble, you just go hang out with him for a couple months, and the next thing you know, you're hot again. Who would that be?

Speaker 1 Coach Coach

Speaker 1 coached the USA team in the summer. Yeah, yeah, be on that staff, yeah, be on the staff, yeah.

Speaker 3 Maybe Rick Petino. Rick Petino would get you under control.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think it's going on the USA staff is like the big rehab. And you get to, you know, it's not cheating, but Coach K just, you know, getting to be friends with all of the NBA all-stars.

Speaker 1 And then like when he goes on recruiting visits, being like, oh, you want me to FaceTime LeBron? Again, not cheating. Here's my gory.
I would say that's a gray area, a major gray area. It's brilliant.

Speaker 1 No, I'd say that's

Speaker 1 pretty fucked up. He cares about our country.
Pretending to care about our country, but really there's some alterium.

Speaker 1 The army, you know, serves the country, clearly has more passion for the country than anyone in this room.

Speaker 1 I would do that. Do you not care about the troops?

Speaker 3 We very much do, Hank. I think that Coach Kay is essentially a war profiteer.

Speaker 1 Actually, I care so much about the troops, I co-hosted the ZBT today. Wow.
Yeah. So how about that? And I said that if there was someone who needed to get my covering fire, I'd pick Billy.

Speaker 3 Thanks. Yeah, no problem.
I care about the troops so much, I have several wins in Warzone.

Speaker 1 Which you don't have. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Because you treat your troop body like there's another one hanging in the closet.

Speaker 1 Also, Also, I care about the troops so much that I, at the end of co-hosting ZBT, I said that I would be thinking about joining the Marines, and then they said that I'm past the age limit.

Speaker 1 So unfortunately, I won't be able to, but I would have.

Speaker 1 They should do a senior tour. Senior troops.

Speaker 3 It's not a bad idea, actually.

Speaker 1 All right, anything else that we got cooking in the sports world? Kind of a light, like little dull.

Speaker 1 You know, Masters are going to be great this weekend, but there's like we had a billion day baseball games yesterday, which are awesome.

Speaker 3 Shout out to Pablo Sandoval. Pablo Sandoval, comeback player of the weekend, comeback player of the year.
He's hit two dingers now as a designated hitter, and he's fatter than he was.

Speaker 1 Love him. Ever.
I love him.

Speaker 3 That should be the new NFT.

Speaker 3 People forget, we don't talk enough about the clip where Pablo Sandoval is so fat that when he swings, his belt explodes. Yes.

Speaker 3 That's maybe the best video clip of all time in any genre. That should be an NFT.

Speaker 1 Yes. Or Bartolo Colon hitting the home run.

Speaker 3 Yeah, both those things. That one is the best.
He was like, Bartolo was a little, he was shorter. Pablo is just probably 300 pounds, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 he's a big, big boy. Also, we got an answer to the Shohei Otani question that we asked Dan Heron.
This is just baseball not having fun, but technically, when he hits as a pitcher, there is no DH.

Speaker 1 That's what the answer is.

Speaker 3 Oh, so in the AL, you make the choice to have a DH.

Speaker 1 So he technically isn't playing two positions at once, which again, makes it so not fun. Like it should be he's DH and pitcher.
Agreed.

Speaker 1 So that if he gets pulled from the game, he can stay in as the DH.

Speaker 3 But wait, what if

Speaker 3 you have a position player that sucks at hitting on that team? Are you allowed to not have that person hit?

Speaker 1 No, I don't think so.

Speaker 3 That's only for a pitcher?

Speaker 1 Yeah, which would be the ultimate, like, could you imagine being an MLB player and being like, hey, we're not going to have you hit today? It'd be like Little League

Speaker 1 when every kid has to play a half an inning and they're like, all right, go into right field for this half an inning.

Speaker 3 Yeah, also, I unveiled my formula today. It started to hit already.
I'm just going to bet against the Pirates every single day. Yeah, they're bad.

Speaker 3 Every day, bet against the Pirates, and I think there was a guy that did it back in 2010, 2011, and it made national news at the time.

Speaker 3 I kind of kept that in my back pocket for the next time the Pirates were going to be noteworthily bad.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think their over-under was 59.5.

Speaker 3 And when you have a position player that pitches in a game in the first four games of the season,

Speaker 3 that's a good red flag for this season. It's already been sold out.
So I'm just going to bet literally every single game against the Pirates and hope for the best this year. So far, so good.

Speaker 1 All right, let's should we do our interview with Eli Manning? Billy, did you have anything else? How are you doing, Billy? Doing well. Doing well.
I didn't like those.

Speaker 1 That was incredible.

Speaker 1 The walk-off hat. That was fucking incredible that you just answered my question.

Speaker 3 He forgot that we were recording a podcast. I wasn't expecting it.
I wasn't expecting. You thought we were just having guy time.

Speaker 1 I love it, Billy. We're just growing out.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 you're saying embrace the bait on the Mets. Yeah, Michael Confordo leaning into a pitch with the old Barry Bonds elbow pads, which if you're too young to remember

Speaker 1 the end of the Barry Bonds era, he would go up like a night at medieval times to the plate with so many fucking shin guards and elbow pads, and people would hit him, and it's like he doesn't even

Speaker 3 take like an hour to like take him off and then go walk the first awesome I kind of respect the move that Confordo did now I would hate it if it was done against my team or any team that I was rooting for at the time but it was a strike the pitch was a strike and he leaned into the strike zone with his elbow pad it hit him and then Keith Hernandez had an aneurysm afterwards like this is Bush League crap get this guy out get this guy uh off the Mets this guy shouldn't be playing right now you don't play the game that way major disrespecting the game moment but it was hilarious yes it's the Mets and the fact that it happened against the Marlins, I think, is probably, no offense, Jake, probably the best team for it to happen to, much like we were saying that Gonzaga, we could slander them all we wanted because there aren't a lot of Gonzaga fans.

Speaker 3 Like, the Marlins, there aren't too many Marlins fans.

Speaker 1 Did you see, by the way, speaking of Gonzaga, did you see the story that came out that Baylor found out Gonzaga had bought six bottles of champagne?

Speaker 1 Which, that seems like a weird number, I guess, because they're college kids and there's only so many kids that are over 21.

Speaker 1 Yeah, are there they got ready for the championship with champagne before the game, and Baylor found out.

Speaker 3 It was bulletin board material.

Speaker 1 It's like the Mike McCarthy watermelons. Like, if I had known that fact, that simple fact, it's a no-brainer that Baylor wins.

Speaker 1 Jake, do you have anything to say about the.

Speaker 1 We haven't seen you in a couple days. You're back.
I'm back. Yeah.

Speaker 1 How are you feeling without college basketball? You okay? I'm all right.

Speaker 6 Yeah. It's bittersweet because we've got so many great memories, but there's no games to look forward to.

Speaker 3 There are a ton of memories. There's

Speaker 3 68 memories.

Speaker 1 So many memories.

Speaker 6 By the way, I omitted a few. I think I got to 40.

Speaker 1 Whoa. Oh, hell yeah.
Out of 68.

Speaker 6 Plus, you guys each had one.

Speaker 1 Dave had one.

Speaker 6 I can start like...

Speaker 3 That was part of the list, though, Jimmy.

Speaker 1 Taking away. You didn't have to.
You could get yourself to like 70%

Speaker 6 in some way. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wow. All right.
Okay.

Speaker 3 And you did call the Grand Canyon one, too, which we should all acknowledge.

Speaker 1 Yes. That was.
Yeah, you got that one. You were right about that.

Speaker 1 All right. Oh, Bryson.
Oh, he's plus five. See what I'm saying? Doesn't he look a little fatter? He does.
Yeah. Yeah.
Like it's just, it's something about the pluses.

Speaker 1 When you get the plus next to your name, or like when a reliever comes in and his ERA is like 14, it just quickly goes

Speaker 1 lower to fat.

Speaker 3 Also, when you see like the red outline on the numbers sometimes, it just looks like a golden corral price tag. Yeah.
And that's, yeah, he does look, he looks a little chunkier right now.

Speaker 3 And also, when you're sad, you look fatter. Yes.
And he definitely has like a sulkiness to him right now. Right.
And so, yeah, that's

Speaker 3 at least 25 pounds.

Speaker 1 Yeah, when we're on a live stream and like things are going well for me, I look skinny. And then when things are going bad, it quickly becomes fat.
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 Like when you lay down on the ground at the end of Mario Party after getting destroyed by Bowser again.

Speaker 1 We should play some more Mario Party. Yeah, I'm down.
We should do that.

Speaker 5 Should we do that? No, Mario Kart.

Speaker 1 No, Mario Kart. Mario Party was way more fun.
Let's do a Mario Party.

Speaker 1 Sometime in the next week, let's have a little Mario Party game.

Speaker 3 Oh, one last thing with baseball.

Speaker 3 They have, they're checking Trevor Bauer's balls.

Speaker 1 His balls are being examined right now. So he has had 10-plus strikeouts in his two starts.

Speaker 3 He's the first pitcher to have Major League Baseball step in because they said they're going to do this this year. And if they notice higher spin rates, they're going to take one of the balls.

Speaker 3 So they took one of Trevor Bauer's balls today, and they're going to, I don't know what they're going to do, x-ray it.

Speaker 1 That would be incredible.

Speaker 3 Turn it to forensic analysis. Yeah, it'd be funny because he was the one that noticed the spin rate increase on the Astros, pointed that out, made a big deal out of that.

Speaker 3 And then it's like the weapons that he designed are are coming back to bite him in the ass. Oh, I need it.

Speaker 1 I need it. That would be a great story.

Speaker 1 That would be the ultimate Astros Getting Saved story. Yeah.
Because everyone would talk about that.

Speaker 1 All right, let's get to Eli Manning. It's going to be a great interview.
Before we do that, PFT, you got a quick word? I'm not going back to college to be your friend.

Speaker 1 I'm going so I can get Uber One for students. It saves you on Uber and Uber Eats.

Speaker 1 I'm there for $0 delivery fee on cheeseburgers, up to 10% off smoothies, and 6% Uber credits back on rides just to be clear i'm there for savings not whatever you think college is for get uber one for students a membership to save on uber and uber eats with deals this good everyone wants to be a student join for just 4.99 a month savings may vary eligibility and member terms apply the what's up guys it's big cat here making my irish entrance with proper number 12 irish whiskey how do you make an irish entrance you ask it starts with a shot of proper number 12 irish whiskey because real friends friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 1 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt. Age four years in bourbon barrels.
Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

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

Speaker 1 So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 3 Now here he is, Eli Manning.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest. It is future Hall of Famer Eli Manning.

Speaker 1 He is, he and his brother, Peyton, I don't know if you heard of him, launching an exclusive NFT artwork entitled the Manning Legacy Collection. It's coming out Friday, April 16th.

Speaker 1 The whole collection is going to be out that day. Some of the stuff goes

Speaker 1 supporting children's hospital. There's going to be the helmet catch.
There's going to be all kinds of cool stuff. NFTs are the rage.
So this is going to be exciting.

Speaker 1 Eli, we are very pumped to have you on. Did I do anything wrong by saying future Hall of Famer there? Are you a Hall of Famer?

Speaker 1 Start with a hard question.

Speaker 8 Yeah, start with that. You know, it's not up to me.
So, you know, if you want to say it, you're welcome to.

Speaker 8 It's not something in the script. I say, hey, when you introduce me, you have to say this or anything of that sort.
So, you know, it's one of those deals,

Speaker 8 you know, I kind of enjoy and laugh about the conversations about it and the fact that it is kind of created, you know, been such an issue.

Speaker 8 And not just now, I feel like it's been talked about for the last five years, but it's not something that I lose sleep about.

Speaker 8 And if, you know, if it happens one day, it would be a great honor.

Speaker 3 If you were to vote on yourself for the Hall of Fame, would you vote you in?

Speaker 8 You know, maybe.

Speaker 8 I don't know. It depends how I was feeling that day, I guess.

Speaker 8 I don't know. It's, you know, what I think of all just the great players.
And, you know, sometimes to think of yourself belonging with

Speaker 8 such legends and icons, you know, I'm not that

Speaker 8 conceited and not that confident in myself to say that I belong with those people.

Speaker 8 And so, but if

Speaker 8 they invite me to join them and to be amongst them, I would gladly take a seat. And it would be, as I said, be a great honor.

Speaker 1 So, some of this NFT stuff, you guys have paying homage to the Manning family, the first family of football. And Cooper.
So, does Cooper have it the best? Because, you know, Peyton's a Hall of Famer.

Speaker 1 You're going to be in the Hall of Fame. But Cooper basically has the entire career of, oh, well, he was actually the best Manning, but, you know, injuries derailed his career.
Does he get that? Like,

Speaker 1 you guys aren't serious when you say Cooper was the best, you know, at football, right? Like, you're just being nice to him.

Speaker 8 Well, you know, he was a receiver that ran a 4-7. I mean, I assume he was going to be the best NFL player of all time, right?

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 8 it's a no-brainer. And there's a lot of 4-7 receivers out there

Speaker 8 that are in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 8 And so, you know, with Coop,

Speaker 8 you know, he's he's been the best brother and he he handled it so well and i think a lot of people might have had a hard time kind of understanding hey you get injuries something you're really just born with it wasn't an injury that happened in football and that your career gets shortened and and you you know watch your two old you know brothers go on to have success and play this game but you know he's enjoyed coming to every game uh you know there's he i i never i've never got him a sideline pass in in my life yet i've seen him uh on the sideline of 45 of my games before.

Speaker 8 So he's a guy that kind of figures things out. He's wheeling and dealing.

Speaker 8 He enjoys watching us. He cheers for us.
He lives, you know, used to live every Sunday right there with us. And so

Speaker 8 he's had a good run just being. being a fan of football and following Peyton and I's career.

Speaker 3 One thing that I do think that you're head and shoulders the best at in your family when it comes to playing quarterback is you take a very elegant sack.

Speaker 3 You know, you've, I know that you've practiced, there's an art to how sometimes you'll take a sack before the guy is able to hit you. And it's actually, it's really smart.

Speaker 3 I've talked with some like running backs about this. There's an art to falling down so that you don't get hurt.
You are the king of knowing when to self-sack yourself so you don't get hit.

Speaker 3 Is that something that you practiced? Like you did stop dropping roll drills or was there just like an alarm clock that would go off in your head?

Speaker 8 Because sometimes you would notice if there was a guy coming directly from behind you and you would, you, there's no chance you'd be able to see him but you could like feel his presence well i think as you play you kind of start to learn a present and and and you know there's there's times when you can escape and times when you try to escape and i think it's a little bit as you you know as you get older as some of those you know fast twitch movements start to leave you um you realize that you know there's probably a better chance of something worse happening me trying to you know do some some move to get out of here and spin and and avoid this And sometimes you just got to say, hey,

Speaker 8 I'm in a bad spot right here. And let's kind of avoid a worse play and go down.

Speaker 8 You don't want to ever, it's not giving up. It's not quitting.
It's just

Speaker 8 a combination of, like you said, avoiding a huge hit.

Speaker 8 There's a time where you can kind of

Speaker 8 go with the hit a little bit. um or be able to throw it and kind of turn your back to a hit so you don't take it right you know hit right to the face so

Speaker 8 you know, you see, you know, a lot of quarterbacks, it is important to be out there and to be out there, you know, for the whole game and to be out there for the next week.

Speaker 8 And so if you take every single big hit that's coming your way, it's going to be tough to do that. And so it is a little bit about kind of a learning curve of how to take hits, how to stay healthy.

Speaker 1 So the other signature thing from your career, besides the two Super Bowls, which you should note that, in the longevity, which it's still incredible whenever a quarterback plays for any type type of streak in terms of starts, because it's such a difficult position and you get hit so many times, was

Speaker 1 your face, the Manning face.

Speaker 1 Did you know like when

Speaker 1 the Manning face would get captured? Were you like, oh, crap, I had my mouth open there and I was staring off into space. The camera probably got that one.

Speaker 1 Because I know you probably didn't pay a lot of attention to social media, but it is a phenomenon and it is something I dearly, dearly miss from both you and your brother after you retired.

Speaker 8 No,

Speaker 8 I never noticed it. And I think, you know, obviously social media wasn't always around and there weren't always these memes and there weren't these pictures of it.

Speaker 8 So like, you know, you had, I had a good, you know, 10 years of playing football, whether it was college or my first years in NFL where like, you know, that stuff really wasn't out there.

Speaker 8 It wasn't caught. So I'd already kind of got into my habits of.

Speaker 8 of kind of standing there watching the game or reflecting on a play and you're not thinking about the face that you're making, whether your your mouth's open or you're just kind of wandering off for a little bit.

Speaker 8 Like it was never a concern.

Speaker 8 I think at that, once it kind of came out and you see it, you're like, well, that's just, it is what it is. If, you know, I got too many things to worry about during a game.

Speaker 8 I can't worry about my, my, you know, face that I'm making at every moment when the camera could be on me. Yeah.
And it usually it usually catches you when something good is not happening.

Speaker 8 When something bad is happening, that's usually when it's like, all right, let's pan, you know, see what Eli's space he's making here.

Speaker 8 It's kind of the just mouth open, just, you know, no emotion face going on right now.

Speaker 1 So, you know, you know it. You know it.

Speaker 1 If you had taken my phone in the year 2014 or 15 and looked at the pictures, you would think I was your stalker. Because you're like,

Speaker 1 why are there so many pictures of my face in your phone?

Speaker 8 Yes. I mean, that could be a great collection.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, we should NFT it.
We should NFT it. Yeah, wait, give us one real quick.
Give us one. Give us your best interpretation.
There it is.

Speaker 1 It's perfect. Yeah, we should NFT it.
Are you frozen? Oh, no, he's fine. Actually, you know what?

Speaker 3 I guarantee you, every football writer would vote for you to get into the Hall of Fame if that was your bust.

Speaker 3 We would all love to see it.

Speaker 3 And it's funny because, like, obviously, if you were to take a picture of me at any given moment of any given day, the face that I'm just casually making probably looks a million times stupider uh but it just you know it happened to be you on the sidelines i think the cameras actually like they told the producers would tell the camera guys like instead of trying to find an attractive woman in the stands to zoom in on just like keep this camera this is going to be the eli camera for the afternoon uh but yeah it was uh it was a it was a fun part

Speaker 1 camera and they just you know there's one camera on me and they're like all right we got it he's making it three minutes go go camera two on it live in a weird way too it's it's like i know it's not a compliment but it should be a compliment because you and your brother and like the Manning family were such an integral part of like every Sunday.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? It just felt like the presence was there in the league, and it definitely has felt weird without you guys there. Do you, when, when is Arch, can we get him in the league?

Speaker 1 Like, can we fast-track this? Your nephew, can we get him in the league tomorrow?

Speaker 8 You know what?

Speaker 8 My parents have kind of said the same thing. It was a weird year for them last year,

Speaker 8 you know, not having a Sunday of

Speaker 8 watching one of their kids play football. It had been going on for over 20 years

Speaker 8 where that was kind of their routine. I think they've enjoyed it a little bit.
Just not, you know, it's not just a Sunday.

Speaker 8 It's kind of the losses or the weeks leading up on the report after a loss or what's in the media on a Monday, Tuesday after a game. I don't think they missed that part of it.

Speaker 8 um you know it's it was weird kind of when payton retired for me not having to you know not getting to watch his games uh because i've been doing that since he was in high school.

Speaker 8 I was pretty much would watch every game in high school, college, and the NFL to not have him around. But, you know, I definitely, I do have my nephew, like you said, have arts to watch.

Speaker 8 I can stream his games from high school football, which is crazy that that's a thing now. So

Speaker 3 but streaming his and you know, it's going to be fun getting to watch his career and for him to kind of go through the, you know, the life cycle of playing quarterback, whether high school, college, and we'll see we'll see what happens after that yeah you you guys have done a pretty good job i've i've read a few things about him where you're trying to keep him kind of insulated and away from because there is a lot of attention obviously on him given the family that that he comes from and and the position that he plays but Big Cat and I are kind of recruiting coordinators for Jackson State University.

Speaker 3 Our coworker, Deion Sanders, is the head coach there. Of course.

Speaker 3 Just going off what you know, do you think he would be open to taking a visit to Jackson State University?

Speaker 8 not far from new orleans you know it's only about two two and a half hours away it's an easy easy drive i think deon you know deon's a heck of a recruiter and uh and it's a great program there's actually a lot a great great history of a lot of a lot of guys at jackson state going on to play in the nfl a couple hall of famers uh and and in there as well so um you know i think uh there's a possibility i'll put in a good word for you okay so that means we've we've officially checked off our first box where we made contact with the family yep Okay, perfect.

Speaker 1 More Eli Manning in a second, but a quick word from our friends at the Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 9 Built for the hustle, ready for the game. Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 9 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 9 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 1 Back to Eli Manning. So you have Eli's places coming out.

Speaker 1 It's the college version of Peyton Place.

Speaker 1 That is awesome. One, you have a way better, like going to college towns is so much fun.
What's your favorite one not in the SEC?

Speaker 1 So outside the SEC, which you know very well, what's your favorite college town to visit?

Speaker 8 Ooh, you know,

Speaker 8 I haven't visited that many college towns outside the SEC, to be honest with you. You know, I'd love to.

Speaker 8 You know, you know, I have not been to any, you know, college games really, besides, you know, went on a recruiting visit to Texas when I was in high school and saw a game,

Speaker 8 which is a pretty cool experience. But

Speaker 8 I'd love to go to Michigan or Ohio State or Notre Dame or go to Oklahoma or

Speaker 8 go see Oregon to play. So there's kind of

Speaker 8 a list of places I'd love to go. Obviously, the pandemic kind of threw that into a wrench last year, my first year of retirement.
But

Speaker 8 I love the history of college football. I love the fans and the students and just some of the cheers that go on.

Speaker 8 And so I'm excited about this new project, getting to see some of these college towns and some of the

Speaker 8 great history that's been made there.

Speaker 3 Yeah, our producer, Hank, is a die-hard Patriots fan. And I was just wondering if

Speaker 3 you could apologize to him for one of the two Super Bowls. Which one would you like to apologize for?

Speaker 8 I would apologize. I'd probably apologize for the first one, the one in 07, just because

Speaker 8 I know it'd be

Speaker 8 nice if they went undefeated, went 19-0.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it would have been nice, yeah.

Speaker 8 That probably would have been nice.

Speaker 8 They would have gone down as the greatest team of all time in the history of football.

Speaker 8 No questions out. Was the all-time greatest teams ever to ever play the game of football, maybe in any sport,

Speaker 8 but now they're not. Now they're not.

Speaker 1 That's a good apology that wasn't an apology. So I want to get back to NFTs real quick.
So the NFT artwork entitled The Manning Legacy Collection.

Speaker 1 If you could NFT, so if you could NFT one moment from your career that you aren't currently going to sell on April 16th, what would it be?

Speaker 1 Maybe an underrated, like, hey, people don't talk about this moment, but I'd love to NFT it.

Speaker 8 I mean, I think we already answered that. I think it's just kind of

Speaker 8 me staring at things.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 8 I think you can go through a great, you know, so many options. It's like what I could be staring at or what I could be thinking and just in those moments.
So

Speaker 8 I think we've created, you know, I think we're excited about that.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I do think that that's the way to, like, honestly, I own one NFT right now. I would spend

Speaker 3 probably five to ten thousand dollars just on NFTs of your face. And I'm just like a casual guy that's very like new to the market.

Speaker 3 That you're going to reach a whole new audience with the Manning face NFTs.

Speaker 8 That's the nicest thing you've ever said about me.

Speaker 1 Thanks. I appreciate that.
Yeah. So what made you get into the NFT market? Like, was this just a totally new, hey, everyone's doing it, but I didn't expect the Mannings to do it.

Speaker 1 And it's kind of cool.

Speaker 8 I think what really got us interested, you know, especially me, is that

Speaker 8 you just retire and you're trying to reflect.

Speaker 8 on your career and be able to create something that is so personal, that is so unique, and to get an artist to kind of create a piece of art that kind of tells your story, your football story, and to do it with Peyton, to do it with your dad, to do some of you in college, some in the NFL, and to kind of use symbols and images and words to

Speaker 8 kind of tell that story of your football career. And I thought with this new space and do it through.

Speaker 8 um the nft where people can use it they can trade it they can you know have that likeness to it and and own,

Speaker 8 have that ownership of this digital item. And so I think it's kind of getting with the new times and getting in these alternative assets.
And it was just kind of a

Speaker 8 natural fit. So really excited about it.

Speaker 1 So I had one last question. I know PFT has one after me, but so

Speaker 1 there is an NFT of Peyton, Peyton's Omaha.

Speaker 1 Did he steal that from you?

Speaker 8 So Omaha, it's kind of funny. Yeah, it has a long history of everything

Speaker 8 going on there. So, I mean, originally,

Speaker 8 you know, the Patriots, you know, Tom Brady was using it back in probably 05 and 06.

Speaker 8 And his, you know, their quarterback coach, John Huffnagel, came from the Patriots to the Giants.

Speaker 8 Well, that was probably before that. He came to the Giants in 04.

Speaker 8 And he had it kind of in our playbook in 2004. So, you know, Patriots were probably using that in 01, 02 at least.

Speaker 8 And so we started using it, you know, and then Payton kind of made it famous just because,

Speaker 8 you know, just on, they turned up the mics a little bit louder, I think, in some of these games. And

Speaker 8 they caught him saying it in a playoff game where he said it like 58 times in a game. And, you know, you could not help but just like wondering, why is he saying Omaha this many times?

Speaker 8 I've never heard anyone say that word. It's not really a football word,

Speaker 8 you would think.

Speaker 1 That's crazy. So he stole it from you.
So you should get all the,

Speaker 1 he owes you money from the commercials and everything.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I mean, you would think I'd get like a stake, maybe. You know, he's got like Omaha stakes.
He's got a key to the city in Omaha.

Speaker 8 You might, you know, you'd think he'd send me a couple stakes, you would think.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's what you should have done that.
Like,

Speaker 3 your word should have been Rolex. And if you just say Rolex enough, you just get a certain sponsorship.

Speaker 8 Now you're thinking, you're giving some young quarterbacks some ideas. Like, what words can we use?

Speaker 3 Listen, that's the kind of outside-the-box thinking we provide at Jackson State University.

Speaker 3 If you know any young quarterbacks that want to maximize their value in the future, you just send them our way. We'll take great care of them.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 8 Thank you, sir.

Speaker 8 I think I know a guy.

Speaker 1 Our intern is not the smartest. He just texted us in the middle of this interview.
He said, Is Omaha to stop the blitz D-Day reference? Omaha Beach? That's not it, is it?

Speaker 8 That is not it. Okay, good.

Speaker 1 That is not it. All right, that was Billy Football's question.

Speaker 3 My last question is: just, do you consider Peyton to be a a ring chaser?

Speaker 1 Ooh.

Speaker 1 A ring chaser? Yeah. Meaning what?

Speaker 3 Meaning, like he had to go join a super team to win his second Super Bowl. And you stuck around with the Giants your whole career.
You made it happen yourself.

Speaker 8 No, I don't consider Peyton a ring chaser. I think Peyton wanted to stay in Indianapolis.

Speaker 8 You know, he had obviously four neck surgeries, and,

Speaker 8 you know, that kind of prevented him.

Speaker 8 Indianapolis went and drafted Andrew Luck and released Peyton. So,

Speaker 8 you know, after that,

Speaker 8 you know, he was, you know, he was a free agent. I don't know.

Speaker 8 I don't know if, I don't, you know, I don't know if Denver was, it's not like he, you know, went there and brought a bunch of people in to join his team or if they were really considered a Super Bowl favorite at that time.

Speaker 8 And so,

Speaker 8 you know, so I think he went in there, kind of changed the culture a little bit and made them a contender every year,

Speaker 8 you know, to win the Super Bowl. So I think

Speaker 8 I'd say he's far from a ring chaser.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, Eli, thanks so much.
We appreciate it. We know you got to run.

Speaker 1 And just so you know, every time the Cowboys and the Giants play on Sunday night football, we are just fully expecting you to come out of the tunnel because I feel like we watched that game 7 billion times in the course of our lives.

Speaker 8 I feel like it was on a lot.

Speaker 8 Every opening game, every first game of the season, that was kind of an automatic, I felt like, for a long time.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes. But thank you.
We appreciate it. And anytime you want to come back on, we'd love to have you.

Speaker 8 All right. Appreciate it, fellas.
That was fun.

Speaker 10 Lucy's the obvious choice for a true nicotine pouch connoisseurs. That's why they're official nicotine pouch partner at Barstool Sports.

Speaker 10 They go up to 12 milligrams in strength and have unique shape that feels great. We all use the breakers.
They're the only pouches with a hydration capsule inside.

Speaker 10 They're a totally new kind of pouch, only available from Lucy.

Speaker 10 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 10 Gas station pouches get the job done, but once you've tried Lucy, you won't want anything else in your pocket.

Speaker 1 Okay, Fire Fresh of the Week. Henry.
I got a few. Okay.
Oh. Unload off.

Speaker 1 I got vaccinated today. My arm hurts, and I just feel, you know,

Speaker 1 my soul. You know what? Are you hurting?

Speaker 1 I did post about it. You know what hurts, Hank? What? My chest, because I had COVID.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry about myself. So get vaccinated, bro.

Speaker 3 Are you just rubbing that in Big Cat's face? Like, you're not going to get COVID? No, I just don't. You think you're better than him? No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 Actually, my chest feels fine. My other COVID.

Speaker 1 Oh, see, it's already affecting me.

Speaker 1 Your other COVID? Yeah. My other Fire Fest is that my girlfriend's on vacation without me.
Oh. Where? Not somewhere nice.
Uh-oh. Ruba.
Oh!

Speaker 1 Fella's you. Verbal meme.
This will be good for YouTube when someone's on vacation and I'm not. Damn.

Speaker 3 Is that the fist?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's okay with the vein. See if I can get my vein going.

Speaker 1 Okay, I got you now. Did her other boyfriend take her?

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's what I'm curious about. She's on a gals trip.
Is that what she said? Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it is. You're not nervous.

Speaker 3 What's your best gal friend's name who's out there?

Speaker 1 Charles. Francesca.

Speaker 1 Francesca. Frank? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Francis.

Speaker 1 Brianna. Oh, Brian.

Speaker 1 You talking about Ms. Chicken Fry? Yep.
Okay.

Speaker 1 That sounds like... Single mingle.
Maybe getting a little wild.

Speaker 1 I mean, you guys are assholes, but sure.

Speaker 1 Sorry. Can we go on vacation as a question?

Speaker 1 Great question, Billy. No, I like we all.
Billy, your life is a vacation. Big cat earlier said he likes vacations, and

Speaker 1 I almost fell out of my chair. Billy, your life is a vacation.

Speaker 1 Like, your life is a vacation. I know.

Speaker 3 Verbal meme, this is Hank this weekend while Rhea's out of town, and it's a picture of Stan March covered in jizz. Oh.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's going to be a lot of pent-up Normie, huh? Yeah. He's going to be looking for

Speaker 1 maybe toss on some brassers for him.

Speaker 1 I know, it it was rough and rowdy. That was what got him going last time.
The Ring Girls? I don't know. Bobby Lang was right before the violence.
Damn. The title fight.
Wait, Billy?

Speaker 3 Did your dog get a boner to Billy?

Speaker 1 No, this was

Speaker 1 the original picture.

Speaker 3 Billy would be so honored.

Speaker 3 He would be so honored to know that he was giving animals erections again.

Speaker 1 He'd be like, still got it. Yep.
That frog thing was way in the past. Is that it, Hank?

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's it. All right.

Speaker 1 I have, well, there's one other one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, do it. Do it.
No, I don't tell you. I don't know.
I might cut this just because I don't want it to somehow get back to me.

Speaker 1 I'm sure you've thought about talking about like dog park drama, Big Cat before, but I just don't want it to somehow get back to this person and then have her connect. No, dog park drama is great.

Speaker 1 It's not even drama. Well, there's drama where it's like there's a group of people that are always having drinks and I show up and they never say anything to me.
I stand on the side.

Speaker 1 You've got to be the one to initiate that. I don't want to do that.
It's too awkward for me. Listen, okay.
That's not the drama. Hold on.
That's all. Before you get to the drama, that's just drama.

Speaker 1 Dog park. That's the drama.
I used to take

Speaker 1 it to a dog park where it was literally like everyone was best friends with each other. And you just have to make a decision within the first three or four trips.

Speaker 1 Am I going to be a dog park person or not? And I think

Speaker 1 I'm not going to shame, but I'm very comfortable just watching my dog play and then leaving and not having to talk to him. Same.
They just dish out drinks sometimes.

Speaker 5 I'm like, PR 101.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 5 Bring a blunt.

Speaker 1 No, you need to bring your own. You need to bring your own drink.

Speaker 3 Step it up.

Speaker 1 It always felt a little weird. Like,

Speaker 1 I just want to get my dog some exercise and then I'm going to go hang out with my friends. I know, but it's kind of like when someone's like buying shots, like, yeah, I'll do a shot.
Like, you know,

Speaker 1 I don't think about it, but then when a lady's walking around with giving out people like

Speaker 1 seltzers, I'm like, I kind of want to.

Speaker 3 I think they think that you're a cop. I think that's what your problem is.

Speaker 1 I'll definitely give off cop vibes.

Speaker 3 What you need to do, Hank,

Speaker 3 you need to have Normie run nearby them and then just call Normie by his name really loudly so they learn your dog's name.

Speaker 3 That's actually the best way to meet those people because then they start calling your, they learn your dog before they learn.

Speaker 1 Normie's dad. Oh, look, Normie's here today.

Speaker 3 And then

Speaker 3 you're like, yeah, he misses you guys. And then, boom, conversation starter.
You got any more of that Hennessy? And then, boom, you're in.

Speaker 1 No, I'm with you, though, Hank. I don't, I think you should bring your own drinks because the minute you become like a true dog park person, I think it just becomes your whole life.

Speaker 1 Just a lot of time. Like, I think you then have to hang out with them outside of the dog park, which is like, ooh, absolutely not.

Speaker 3 So that's the thing. I don't think that there is a hangout out.
The second somebody offers, the second somebody in the dog park group is like, we should hang out in real life.

Speaker 3 At that point, it becomes a little too real for everybody.

Speaker 1 No, but there's definitely some dog park people that were like, they're down. They're CrossFit.
They got dogs to make friends. All right, so what happened?

Speaker 1 There's just a dog there named Grandpa.

Speaker 3 That's a cute name. And

Speaker 1 that's the drama? It's not drama. That's what I'm saying.
It's not drama. I just, I haven't gotten it off my mind.
Grandpa, what kind of dog? This is very important. I'm not going to say that.

Speaker 1 No, tell us the weight. I actually don't even know

Speaker 1 how dog. Okay, I was going to say, if grandpa has to be a big dog,

Speaker 1 how small? Pretty

Speaker 1 similar to Norman.

Speaker 3 Oh, that's better. So it's like a chihuahua rat terrier size.

Speaker 1 I don't like it. I think grandpa works if you have like a 120-pound dog that's like just like, oh, here comes grandpa.

Speaker 1 Kind of that. But a little like runt dog just like running around people calling it grandpa?

Speaker 3 Nah. So you're just thinking about grandpa all day?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Can't get grandpa out of your mind.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 What do you think is an old dog?

Speaker 8 I don't know.

Speaker 3 I mean, this is actually, here's how you get in with these people.

Speaker 1 I don't want to.

Speaker 3 I thought you said that you wanted shots.

Speaker 1 Well, I said it's like FOMO.

Speaker 1 I got quick bouts of FOMO, but it dissolves quickly when I realize I don't have to have small talk with these people.

Speaker 3 You just want one shot. You want to be offered a shot.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Okay. Easy way to do that is just, because I guarantee there's a big overlap between the people who do post on social media about getting their vaccines.

Speaker 3 Unlike us, Hank, we don't mention that publicly.

Speaker 1 I'm honestly nervous about this entire conversation because

Speaker 1 you're a sticker, you're not going to be able to go to the dog park. You think there's listeners?

Speaker 3 If you wear a giant sticker that says, look what I got today, then they'll be like, oh, congratulations. And then they'll give you a shot.
Hold on.

Speaker 1 Timeout. How old is the person who owns Grandpa? Young-ish.
Like, I'm probably going to

Speaker 1 know.

Speaker 1 There are bros there. I've met people there that I go.
But there's, trust your instincts. They'll be like, yo, dude, I've been thinking about that, about grandpa for a while.

Speaker 1 And you might get a drink now.

Speaker 1 To have people recognize you there. Yes.
So then you're good.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think grandpa's a great name. It's a beautiful name.
No, no, no, no, no. You got to sewer the name grandpa to the other people.
And they'll get the conversation. They'll be like, yes,

Speaker 3 it's a little ridiculous, isn't it?

Speaker 1 What if she's the ringleader and turns them all against me? You should say, you know, you should be like.

Speaker 3 You got to take that chance.

Speaker 1 I don't want to take that chance. I heard grandpa's a great name.
She's like, where's grandma?

Speaker 1 I

Speaker 1 thought it was. Nah, I'm not gonna say it.
It's a great name. It's a great name.
No, it's a great name. Say it.
It's a great name. Say it.
I think it's a great name. Say it.
Beautiful dog.

Speaker 1 This is good. Love the dog park.

Speaker 1 Dog parks are funny. They're very weird.
Yeah, it's

Speaker 1 interesting. There's a whole community.
It's an interesting, interesting place. Yeah.
You got to keep your knees loose. That's the big tip in a dog park.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you'll get taken out from behind. Always got to keep your knees a little bit bent or lean against a fence if you can.

Speaker 1 No, seriously, you get fucking smoked by a good golden retriever in the back of the knees you blow your ACL ACL out.

Speaker 3 There was there was one point where I took Leroy to a dog park and he picked up a tennis ball that was on the ground and brought it over to me because he was a good boy and the person who owned that tennis ball came over and got mad at me because he punctured it with his teeth.

Speaker 6 I was like, well, you brought it up.

Speaker 6 It's a dog.

Speaker 3 You brought a tennis ball to a dog park and my dog saw your ball. Yes.
And now you're mad because you can't play tennis with this ball anymore that you brought to the dog park.

Speaker 1 That's also,

Speaker 1 there's always a bulldog at the dog park that gets the tennis ball and never gives it up and it's always so funny.

Speaker 3 It is the best. They just destroy it if they lay down.

Speaker 1 Yeah and the owner's like I'm so sorry. It's like dude it's okay.
You got a bulldog. Yeah.
Like they will never give up all.

Speaker 3 Hank just bring beers. Just roll in with like a 12 pack of Coors Light.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's just a small, I'm not a small talker. Not built for that life.
Are you a long talker? No, I'm just a not a talker? Yeah. Well,

Speaker 1 I'll talk, but small talk, like conversations that

Speaker 1 are going nowhere when it starts and it ends up going nowhere and you just wasted 20 minutes

Speaker 1 talking about nothing. Oh, what's that? And they're like, oh, where do you work? I'm like, oh, I would do audio engineering.

Speaker 1 That's what you say? I try. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I just don't want to. I don't want to like, I do video production.

Speaker 1 You should be like, I'm the grand pooba of a Jenga League. Well, like, I like if you.
Play Barcel app, download it right now.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Spit and Chiglet's contest.

Speaker 1 It closes tomorrow.

Speaker 1 I just don't, you know, because once the Barcelon conversation, part of my take is opens a new cane of worm. But if you say, like, oh, I work for a podcast, people are like, okay, fucking weirdo.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, that does.

Speaker 1 It never works. Like, oh, what podcast, man? I just say sports media.

Speaker 1 I say video production usually. Yeah.
Hopefully, they don't inquire more. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I still say I'm a blogger because that's a great way to just end the conversation immediately. Yeah.
No one wants to ask a follow-up question about that.

Speaker 1 That's true. They're like, oh, sorry.
Yeah. Sorry.
Sorry, your wife is taking a bad thing.

Speaker 3 They're like, sorry I asked. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, PFT, your Firefest?

Speaker 3 My Fire Fest of the Week is that I've been unfairly labeled as the horny guy.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, so online.

Speaker 1 It is.

Speaker 3 I'm being slut-shamed.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 3 And I'm not that horny. I can't even.

Speaker 1 I'm not slut-shamed. I can't.
No, you're just not.

Speaker 3 I can't even innocently respond to like a Jim Seltzer tweet.

Speaker 1 Heaven forbid. Slut-shamed.

Speaker 3 Heaven forbid that happens. And Billy went out and bought a bonk stick.
Oh, nice. To bonk me.

Speaker 1 I'm not horny. I'm not horny.

Speaker 3 I'm not horny. And you know what? We were talking about this this other show.

Speaker 1 You're not horny. Billy's not on steroids.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 I love the name Green.

Speaker 1 Guys, I swear, I'm not horny.

Speaker 3 I'm not horny right now. I'm not even thinking about sex at all.
But I'm kind of thinking about sex. But I'm also saying that, like, we took our eye off the ball as a society.

Speaker 3 Everyone's concerned with being the horny police.

Speaker 3 We stopped caring about people capping online. No one's accusing people of being capped anymore.
And the only thing people are capping about not being.

Speaker 1 Thank God you're 28 because if you were 36, that would be the lamest thing.

Speaker 3 No, I'm just saying, like, everyone, we as an internet used to be great about being like, yo, that dude's capping right now

Speaker 3 and then people just forgot about it and now we're all concerned with oh this guy's horn this guy's

Speaker 1 never worse

Speaker 3 this guy possibly has a semi-erection right now let's bonk him to death cap and so it's everything this guy's replying to halle berry's swimsuit pictures but he's not horny it's everything that i tweet is now like people are capping about me being horny because it's like oh god pft is so i don't know how you could make it worse but you did

Speaker 3 because we're all going to be talking about capping now capping's back yeah I don't know if this is going to work.

Speaker 1 That's where you're trying to do it. That's Cap right now.
I'm trying to switch cap. No, Cap.
Everyone's.

Speaker 3 I saw like a bunch of people today start to talk about Cap again, and I was like, yeah, that's whole point. Let's talk about Cap.
Colin? No, I'm not. No, that's Cap.
You're Cap right now.

Speaker 3 You're Cinnamon Toast Cap.

Speaker 1 We should start, Brett. We should take that conversation.

Speaker 3 I can't believe it's not Cap.

Speaker 1 What team would want Colin Kaepernick as a camp? He should do another tryout. He should do another tryout.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Actually, the perfect time was for the Bears. Like, I can't believe Andy Dalton has a job, but not Cap.
Yeah. Then we'd all be talking, and no one would be talking about my dick anymore.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's not your dick. It's you.
It's you. It's your brain.

Speaker 3 You're running amok with the horny accusations because it was a quote to Hallie Barry.

Speaker 1 I've never had any accusations. I've just said the word bunk.

Speaker 3 And she said, tell me something I don't know. And so I wanted to talk to Hallie Barry about it.

Speaker 1 I was on the tweet from

Speaker 1 a month ago, too?

Speaker 3 No, it was like a few days ago when

Speaker 1 I first found it.

Speaker 3 I didn't even know that she was wearing streets from the sir.

Speaker 1 All right, My Fire Fest. Well, it's not a fire.
Well, it is a Fire Fest because I don't know how to say it, so I'm just going to say it.

Speaker 1 You get the get the fucking thing ready. I'm having another child.
Funk.

Speaker 1 So the fire fest part is that I

Speaker 1 having a second kid is like, it's not a big announcement. First was obviously a big announcement.
That's a life change. Having a second is like, hey, we're going to keep moving.
This is pretty sick.

Speaker 1 Let's have another one. Yeah, right.
A sequel.

Speaker 1 So I forgot to, like, I've told, I told all the guys here a few months months ago, I forgot to tell basically anyone besides, like, my close friends and, like, some people in the office.

Speaker 1 So, now I have to tell everyone.

Speaker 3 So, that's all sympathy weight that you have right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's sympathy weight.

Speaker 1 Yeah, can you believe that I've been doing all this and I have another kid coming? Damn, what a hero. I'm actually not a hero.
Can I make a name suggestion? Look at that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so you don't know the sex. Grandpa.
Should we do a sex reveal? It's going to be a girl. So that's the other five.
Grandma.

Speaker 1 I am going to, as of

Speaker 1 June, so June 15th is the due date.

Speaker 1 As of June, I'm going to be forced to do a podcast with a bunch of misogynists, and I'm no longer going to be a misogynist. So

Speaker 1 you're going to have to figure that out.

Speaker 3 The easy way, just toss in your bio.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And I'm going to

Speaker 1 give a lot of shit.

Speaker 1 You know, like, for some reason, I just love watching women's sports now. Like, that just happened overnight.
So big cat. The transformation, even though I already loved watching it.

Speaker 1 Are you a big deal?

Speaker 3 Are you going to let your daughter read BarstoolSports.com? Yes.

Speaker 1 Well, I don't think it'll be around by the time she can read. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Whoa.

Speaker 1 Well, actually, no, I was thinking more like the time that she can conceptualize it, like 15. I wasn't saying like actually read like five years from now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, no, no. I was saying more like 5.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah. Do you know something that we don't know?

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 I was thinking more like 15, 16. Yes, of course.
She will be a huge Nate Dogg fan. And Greenie.
And Jerry Thornton. J.R.G.
Yeah, Jerry Thornton and White Team Shave.

Speaker 1 No, but seriously, it is awesome.

Speaker 1 I will say this. It's funny because I think there's a lot.

Speaker 1 I don't really talk about my child and my upcoming child much, but I do think there's a lot of dads and moms that listen to this show because when I dropped the Bluey thing with who was on, who did we interview?

Speaker 1 And I talked about Bluey with them.

Speaker 1 Waka. Waka.
I had so many tweets about Bluey. So I think there's a big, strong contingent of parents that listen to this show.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, I'm excited. Being a dad is, like, the coolest thing ever.
I'm just going to say that. Not to be sappy.
But I fucking, like, me and my son, like, we bro out hard all the time.

Speaker 1 Like, vibes to the moon, Billy. Think about, like, your coolest friend and just being able to live with them.
And then you get to hang out with them.

Speaker 3 And you're just chilling.

Speaker 1 That's my dog. Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 Right. Your dog and my son, the same thing.
But yeah, so don't make a big deal of it, but that's the big announcement. Billy.

Speaker 5 There was an image circulating the internet of your long-ass nose. My large appendage.

Speaker 3 Your nose. It was a bad.

Speaker 3 Very pointy. I never realized how pointy.

Speaker 5 No, it was the angle. So basically, I got FaceTime

Speaker 3 a bunch of

Speaker 5 co-workers at Barstool. And I was like, oh, man, like...

Speaker 3 They're including me in these group FaceTimes. I don't spend much time around the office.
I was like, wow,

Speaker 5 I'm in the club. So I hit accept, and I realized I was holding my phone way too close to my face.

Speaker 3 And I do have a larger nose, but the angle of the camera.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's, you know. Where'd that come from?

Speaker 5 You know, I was born with a larger nose, and then years of contact sports helmets coming down.

Speaker 1 Oh, so you're making this about being a jock?

Speaker 5 Yeah, I mean, you know, you get some scar tissue on top, large nose.

Speaker 1 Uh-huh. I'll put it for you.

Speaker 3 You would not be invited to Dustin Johnson's after party when he wins the Masters with nose like that.

Speaker 1 Vacuum it all up, bro. Just scoover and schneesh.
No.

Speaker 3 Go like that for me. Gator tails aren't good for gains.
Go like this.

Speaker 1 How did you look at this? Give me one big sale. Billy.

Speaker 1 It's also whale tails.

Speaker 5 I have no idea. Yeah, right.

Speaker 3 You're talking about eating ass?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Talking about what Billy's talking about. Bomb and bill.
There we go. That's cap.

Speaker 1 We're talking about Coke, and you all of a sudden are talking about eating ass. It's crazy.
Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 Some great memes, though, if you haven't seen the picture. Yeah, they're.
Although, I guess the funniest joke was from Sopranos, which I didn't know because I fucking stopped watching it.

Speaker 1 But someone said

Speaker 1 Billy could smoke a cigarette in the rain. Yeah.
Yeah. Just fine.
Yes. Yes.

Speaker 5 The Nigel Thornberry references were funny.

Speaker 5 I will admit.

Speaker 3 You got a beak. It's not a nose.
Yeah. It's a beak.

Speaker 1 It's a beak. It's definitely.
It was as bad of a. Like, I've seen pictures of them where they look fatter than they are.
Well, the Duck's picture is just short. But, like, it was such a bad angle.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It was one of the worst angles I've ever seen.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 It made the nose look not only like you know, it's big already, but long.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, like

Speaker 1 the like, you know, how we always joke about how you're always late to places. We should specify that your nose is always on time because it gets here like five minutes early.

Speaker 1 My nose is early.

Speaker 1 Oh, all right, Jake, you have a fire fest?

Speaker 6 Yeah, so I've been at home this week, and uh, I noticed

Speaker 1 it jerking off, yeah, okay.

Speaker 6 Uh, and I noticed that one of the signs on my wall is missing a thumbtack, oh, and I'm scared. I'm gonna step on it.

Speaker 1 Oh, there it is, thumbtack. What that is predicament, dude.
That could have been for a while. That has actually got vacuumed up.

Speaker 3 It's a good fire fest because it's like the mental anguish is worse than actually stepping on it.

Speaker 6 Yes, but it could have been for four months and I'm safe and it's vacuumed up, or it could have been two days ago and I can't find it.

Speaker 3 Oh, do you have any pictures like when you did a FaceTime with us or when you skip in or Zoom?

Speaker 1 I'll go home and tweet it. Why don't you just, I mean,

Speaker 1 well, no, your place is too big to find it.

Speaker 1 Is that your only Fire Fest?

Speaker 3 Did you ask your maid if she could find it?

Speaker 1 I don't have a maid. Oh, shit.

Speaker 3 Sorry,

Speaker 1 you're live-in nanny.

Speaker 3 Nope.

Speaker 6 I live with me, myself, and I.

Speaker 1 Is that your only Fire Fest?

Speaker 6 I have a few others, but I think they make it.

Speaker 1 What are the others?

Speaker 6 I don't know. What What does Hank want to talk about? A video? A certain video series?

Speaker 1 It sounds like you want to talk about it. Oh, Jared.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. No, it is actually interesting.
No, it is a fire.

Speaker 1 Jake Marsh, who went to Syracuse, Medill, and ever heard of it?

Speaker 1 He doesn't know how to say the word mortgage. Oh, yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He doesn't know how to say the word mortgage. He pronounces it mortgage.

Speaker 3 Not if you listen to Thursday Night's Championship show.

Speaker 3 Say it. Give it a shot right now.
Mortgage.

Speaker 1 The problem is that there's a YouTube video that has you saying mortgage multiple times.

Speaker 1 Also, it was all the same time.

Speaker 6 I said it once. No.

Speaker 1 They replay it.

Speaker 1 Oh!

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 that changed the video. That makes it better.

Speaker 1 It was one recording. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That makes it better. We thought you were just saying it wrong the entire time.
No, I said it once. Wait a second.

Speaker 3 Hank, are you playing dumb? Did you hear the mortgage and then you inserted it into the video mortgage?

Speaker 1 PMT literally thinks I'm awesome.

Speaker 1 I do. I have nothing, literally, nothing to do with the video.

Speaker 3 Were the fart sound effects that always come out?

Speaker 6 No, it was a voiceover, and they had me record the ad afterwards.

Speaker 1 Go take a cold shower, horny boy.

Speaker 6 They have me record the ad afterwards, and I read it once, and they plug it in every time there's a player profile.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that reason it from the championship. That makes it way better.
No.

Speaker 1 Every time I heard it,

Speaker 1 it was shocking. No, I'm shocked.

Speaker 6 I've gotten criticism in my broadcasting career. I've gotten destroyed for this.

Speaker 1 Well, no, so so here's what I'm saying. So you get an F-it, Medill.
Here's what it is.

Speaker 1 Because they replayed it the first time I heard it, I was like, that was crazy, but it was probably just a one-time thing. And then every time I heard it, I was like,

Speaker 1 Jake doesn't know how to say mortgage. Jake Mortgage Mortgage.

Speaker 3 What was going through your head when you said mortgage?

Speaker 1 I just genuinely thought that's.

Speaker 6 I didn't know the tea was silent.

Speaker 3 You didn't? Wait, you just learned that the tea in mortgage was silent?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 5 You should just blame it on the pink Whitney you were drinking in the booth.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 I'm not blaming anybody. You were drunk.
It's my fault.

Speaker 1 Take accountability, Billy.

Speaker 3 Pro tips, say you were drunk. There's footage of you drinking pink Whitney during the broadcast.

Speaker 1 That's a fact. It's my fault.
Messed up.

Speaker 6 That's a deep drive to the left.

Speaker 1 There we go. All right, let's do some numbers.
Send everyone on their way. Happy Masters.

Speaker 1 Oh, by the way, how about

Speaker 1 you guys? Like, I'm going to have a, well, not this year, but a double dad, a two-kid Masters nap. It's a little different.
Yeah. That's fucking.

Speaker 1 36. I'm like, dude, shout out Stephen Shea, who,

Speaker 1 when he has a boy around the same age as my son, and he unironically uses, no, a son. He unironically uses the hashtag boy dad
