We have Rob Geronkowski traded to the Tampa Buccaneers. We have Hot Seat Cool Throne.

Speaker 1 And then we have a Mount Flushmore of dumbest fears. No, Mount Flushmore of fears.
But it's a Mount Rushmore of dumbest fears.

Speaker 4 Mount Flushmore of fears that we have.

Speaker 1 We can say we're doing

Speaker 4 fears that we have that sound weird.

Speaker 1 Sound stupid. That are

Speaker 4 irrational fears that we have. It's not going to be like death.

Speaker 1 It's going to be a very specific way to die.

Speaker 4 So it's the Mount Flushmore of fears, but also the Mount Rushmore of irrational fears.

Speaker 1 Yeah, of very stupid fears.

Speaker 1 And I'm sure Hank will probably pick pizza or something, like eating too much pizza.

Speaker 1 Something that everyone universally loves, and he's going to decide it. What have I chosen that everyone universally loves? Okay, let's just get to the ad and then we'll get to that.

Speaker 1 You are the greatest heel that has ever been created in Mount Flushmore. No, you guys are just pizza.
It's incredible. I love it.

Speaker 1 It's good for love. It's engagement.
It's great for engagement. Pandandering Paul and pandering.

Speaker 1 Today is Wednesday, April 22nd, and Roberto Gronkowski is officially a Tampa Bay Buccaneer. All your nightmares have come true, Hank.
But first,

Speaker 1 boop for Leroy.

Speaker 4 Boop, scoop for Leroy.

Speaker 1 Boop, scoop for Leroy.

Speaker 4 Listen, this was one scoop that I was pretty confident, or Leroy is pretty confident from the start. He did get his credit.

Speaker 1 So I guess

Speaker 1 we bullied the credit out of him.

Speaker 8 Not on the bottom scoreboard, though.

Speaker 4 Well, here's the thing: I feel like he got enough credit. Schaffer credited him mostly just to get back at Rapsheet.

Speaker 4 Rapsheet credited him after much consternation on Rapsheet's part, after going out of his way to not credit him.

Speaker 4 He finally did.

Speaker 1 I think what it would in the most petty way possible. Well,

Speaker 4 he hated. If you read the tweet, it was through Nash Teeth.

Speaker 8 It was like read it in Ian Rapperport voice.

Speaker 1 BBA will pull it up. While you pull it up, I think what put him over the edge was he tweeted something about about the deal, and I just tweeted a rat and cheese emojis at him.

Speaker 4 Oh, no, yeah, but right before he did that, I did. And then he texted me right after.

Speaker 1 He's like, dude, what the fuck? I did the full rat quote tweet of it, and then I think Leroy tweeted out.

Speaker 4 Now, I can't be held responsible for what Leroy tweets, but he tweeted out, credit me, bitch.

Speaker 1 Well, so

Speaker 4 then he called him rat cheese.

Speaker 1 Rapabor,

Speaker 1 while he could have easily just played along,

Speaker 1 there's a part, very small part of me that's like, I kind of get it because this was one of his biggest scoops. And he was like, I nailed it.

Speaker 1 Should have got it earlier and then he just got fucking bullied online by everyone he should have put the scoop out two weeks previously it really was too it's not like we kept it a secret so here's there was a moment there too when we were texting and and and you're like

Speaker 1 shefter did the right thing by playing long and then it dawned on me I was like wait Schefter just did that because he didn't have the scoop and he basically was four minutes past rapper port so he's like who can I credit oh yeah PFT's dog yeah so here's the tweet for me in rapper port was great scoop Leroy period on your game comma as usual, period.

Speaker 4 So, not a lot of emotion coming out of it.

Speaker 1 Translation, I can't believe I'm tweeting at a fucking dog. I do this for a living.
This should be a huge moment for me. I'm so goddamn mad.

Speaker 8 And you know, whenever he sees any Leroy tweet, he rolls his eyes.

Speaker 1 So, when he says as usual,

Speaker 1 that's not being serious.

Speaker 1 No, that was tongue-in-cheek, directly in cheek, because Leroy is not as usual.

Speaker 4 Well, no, Leroy's about, I did the math on his account. He's about 60% retiring.
That's twice as good

Speaker 1 as

Speaker 1 predecessions. Yeah, post-deletion.
There was one deletion. Post-deletions.
Okay.

Speaker 4 There's one deletion. So we'll bump that down to 59%,

Speaker 4 which is still pretty good. Yeah.
It's better than a lot of people's tax rates. So, Hank,

Speaker 4 I'm sorry, first and foremost, about being right about this scoop.

Speaker 4 It's not one that Leroy wanted to nail, but Leroy would like to make the announcement that he is indeed retiring from the scoop game. I've got his bone.
I brought his bone in and a poop bag.

Speaker 4 I can raise his bone to the rafters after this is over.

Speaker 1 We'll do a retirement turn. I'm going to turn to the lights, but yeah.

Speaker 1 That's the rafters. Oh, yeah, these rafters.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but then that gets in the way of my squats. What's um what do you all right?

Speaker 1 So Leroy.

Speaker 4 If I ever wanted to do squats, it would hypothetically get in the way of the terrorists.

Speaker 1 That's a good point. A very good point.
So Leroy's retiring. What is the man behind Leroy who has an insatiable desire to actually be an insider going to do?

Speaker 4 Oh, I don't want to be an insider. I just want my dog to be right every now and again.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 4 Are you going to. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 Here's the thing.

Speaker 4 I see Leroy is popular out there. Some would say that he's more popular than me, and I would agree with him.
People love dogs.

Speaker 4 That's delicious. What I'd like to do with Leroy's account, and you guys give me some feedback and let me know if you think this is appropriate.

Speaker 4 I'd like to pivot him out of the breaking news game, put him out to stud, put him out to retire, to just nap his days and snack and fall asleep and drool all the live-long day, and then use the account to grade the scoops of actual insiders.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 4 In terms of, like, if there's a moment like what happened today, let's just say Leroy had not put the news out there completely accurately two weeks prior, and Rap Report beats Schefter by about four minutes.

Speaker 4 After they both tweet out the news, Leroy serves as the judge and says, This scoop goes to even Rap Report. So he becomes like kind of the grand master of scoops.

Speaker 1 The Oracle, the grand wizard of scoops. No, we don't.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I like that. Here's another idea.
I'll just throw it out there.

Speaker 8 It's like a player retiring and going into media.

Speaker 1 Exactly. That's exactly what I'm saying.
I'll just throw it out there. What if we change Leroy's Twitter account to,

Speaker 1 or we change it to leroy part of my take's guest booker and we just use the twitter account to harass people that we want to come on the show i mean we can do both yeah we could do both just tweet them all the time and just have maybe even change the twitter handle go on part of my take so like literally the first response to a blue check mark is go on part of my take okay and everyone's like dude go on part of my take here's what we can do is we can use you can't get mad at a dog all direct replies will be for the uh purposes of booking guests on part of my take so tell us who we should just send leroy after yeah leroy can he can can be a retriever.

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 1 Just fucking go after people.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so he is retiring from the scoop game. I feel like he got enough credit, and this was a big enough scoop.
Yes, where I feel like this is a good one to go out on top with. Absolutely.

Speaker 4 So, but I mean, it's great redirection on Hank's part steering this conversation towards Leroy because we need to talk about Rob Gronkowski. The actual trade.
His two heroes going down to Florida.

Speaker 1 Rob Gronkowski traded from the Patriots for a fourth-round pick, and the Patriots then send a seventh-round pick with Rob Gronkowski.

Speaker 8 It brings up a good point. Is Leroy ever going to come out of retirement now that he's retired?

Speaker 1 Oh, if you don't think that Leroy is going to come out of retirement when PFT gets that itch for some news breaking,

Speaker 1 I'm actually going to report that right now. No.
That he will come out of retirement.

Speaker 1 That report is being

Speaker 1 cat.

Speaker 4 The report is being disputed by sources who would know.

Speaker 1 I filed it to the desk. It might take a year, but he will come out of it.

Speaker 4 Leroy's circles are telling me that that is not, in fact, the case. That PFT could start another account for a different animal.

Speaker 1 No, no.

Speaker 4 And then use that and build that one up. Have a whole like fucking zoo of animals breaking shitty scoops all around me.

Speaker 4 But yeah, there was an actual trade, and Gronk is going down there. Now, Hank told me that he was going to be, it would break his heart, I think is what he said.

Speaker 4 So, if this ends up coming true, but then what did you do for Leroy's retirement party?

Speaker 1 Stop trying to install us. No, I'm giving him

Speaker 1 our good. That he doesn't even care.

Speaker 1 You don't even care? You're numb to it?

Speaker 8 I never said that. That's once again, fake news from PFT.

Speaker 4 Soggy Soros.

Speaker 1 It's good for you because now you can just be a Bucs fan. Like, you can have, like, Edelman can go down there and be like, hey, I'm rooting.

Speaker 1 Like, the Patriots are my number one team, but I'll root for the Bucks.

Speaker 4 Do you think Tom Brady and Gronk will retire as Buccaneers when they go into Canton?

Speaker 1 No. I think they might.

Speaker 1 If they win two Super Bowls, they go two for two. Yeah.

Speaker 8 If I can be real with you, with you, with my pals here for a second. Yeah, let's just pals.

Speaker 1 Pals talking.

Speaker 4 Soggy Soros?

Speaker 8 There's definitely on one side of me, it makes complete sense. Like, Gronko's retired.

Speaker 8 It's not like they're in the prime of their career and they left the Patriots. It's like a one-last, two-raw.
It's Florida, nice weather. They're both trying to get out of like the Patriot way.

Speaker 8 I kind of understand that.

Speaker 8 There's another part of me, especially with the last dance, where as I'm watching the last dance, the whole time I'm just like, how can you have this team and how are they not playing for the Bulls?

Speaker 8 And there's a small part of it where it's like, how is Tom Brady and Rob Minkowski playing in the NFL and not on the Patriots?

Speaker 8 It's tough. And when I heard...

Speaker 8 Like in my house my girlfriend played the video with the we ain't going nowhere song and like my heart sank like that's my favorite video of all time.

Speaker 1 And now they're not even legal at you? No, she was just like scrolling on Twitter.

Speaker 8 Do you think that was just

Speaker 1 randomly popped up? Interesting.

Speaker 8 And that, so that I knew right when that played, I was like, this is going to be very

Speaker 1 sad. Dirty water right out.
Extremely, extremely bittersweet.

Speaker 8 It's very, very sad.

Speaker 4 Randomly came on.

Speaker 8 I will be a Bucs fan, but it's also like,

Speaker 8 I just can't do it.

Speaker 1 I can't be like

Speaker 1 the biggest Bucks fan.

Speaker 1 Okay, so here's the, I mean, it's not, it's very different than obviously the also happy that the bulls run i i'm very happy that i knew it was coming otherwise i would have been way more like yeah that's true because it did go zero to like if you did if you don't know leroy you don't listen to this show you would have been like what the fuck this we all saw it and we're like oh yeah we knew that was coming and also it tells us yet again don't ever believe a coach or a player when they say they're retired for good or a dog that's why people know that's why my dad still trusts dogs yeah and that's why my dad still thinks barry sanders could come back Like,

Speaker 1 the door is always a little bit open.

Speaker 4 Yeah, and so Gronk actually put out a non-denial denial of this report, what, like, three days ago? Yep. I'm actually trying to get Rob to be the one who breaks the news about Leroy retiring.

Speaker 4 So we'll see if he beats Leroy to that punch tomorrow. Probably not.
Okay.

Speaker 4 But yeah, it is going to be weird to see him down in Tampa Bay wearing those uniforms. It's going to look unusual.
I do think...

Speaker 4 It's going to get very interesting if they make the playoffs, and it looks like they might get on a collision course. What What if it was New England, Tampa Bay, and the Super Bowl?

Speaker 4 In Tampa Bay, in Tampa Bay.

Speaker 1 You know what, also is going to be very fascinating to watch. Like, will Gronk, how many

Speaker 1 excessive celebration penalties will Gronk get? Like, all these, you know, how many weird interviews will he do during the year?

Speaker 4 Oh, he's already booked on Howard Stern.

Speaker 1 Like, he's got everything.

Speaker 4 Probably the main reason he wanted to go down there.

Speaker 1 And the most important story that I got my eye on, Rob Gronkowski is still the 24-7 champion in the WWE.

Speaker 1 And the WWE has released a statement saying, congratulations to Rob Gronkowski, the current WWE 24-7 champ on his return to football.

Speaker 1 Per the rules of the 24-7 title, Gronk must defend his championship at all times in any location. He could be celebrating a touchdown pass from Tom Brady anytime, anywhere.
That's, come on.

Speaker 1 If I know Vince, they're going to fucking just, they're going to all come out of the tunnel right after a touchdown. Probably all get arrested, but he'll have to defend.

Speaker 4 They'd probably all live down there anyways, right?

Speaker 4 They'll run out of the pirate ship. Yes.

Speaker 1 It'll be like a giant red horse. You got a thousand-yard stare now.

Speaker 1 You said your piece, and now you're just done.

Speaker 4 I feel like Sagi Stars would actually help you process this.

Speaker 8 No, definitely not, because he wasn't even on the Patriots. The Patriots got an ass.

Speaker 1 No, he wasn't have earlier. That's what he was actually on.

Speaker 1 100% true. Like, that's not a spin zone.
Rob Runkowski was not going to play for the Patriots again. He just got a fourth-round pick out of basically thin air.
Correct.

Speaker 4 That's why I actually, so we had Jay Glazer on the other day, and he was saying that Belichick won't do this. I think Belichick is the most likely coach to do it.

Speaker 1 He's like, oh, I get a free asset?

Speaker 4 Most other coaches would be like, no, I'm going to let my personal beef stand in between me and making the right choice.

Speaker 4 Belichick is so cold-blooded, he'll just be like, yes, I will get something for nothing.

Speaker 1 So the biggest question now that we have remaining is.

Speaker 8 Will the NFL season happen? Probably not, so it doesn't really matter.

Speaker 1 Julian Edelman. What does Jules do? That's got to be.
He really is the SpongeBob meme come to life. He's just standing in the window watching Gronk and Tom play in the yard.

Speaker 4 To take it back to a previous generation, he could be like the Say Anything meme where he's John Cusack and he just goes down to Tampa and he holds up a speaker outside the press just being like, notice me, please forgive me.

Speaker 1 Take me in. There's also a part that like Tom Brady might have just done this because he keeps getting kicked out of Tampa Bay parks and he was like, I need someone to throw to in my backyard.

Speaker 4 I need a buddy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry, Hank.

Speaker 4 I'm just sorry, that's all. If it were me in your position, I would feel just awful.

Speaker 1 I think what's happening right now is you're in the denial phase, which is what you should be in. If the season happens

Speaker 1 and Gronk does his first Gronk smash,

Speaker 1 that's going to be your heart smashing into a million pieces.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I mean, honestly, and like this is going to be crazy, but the uniforms thing, like I was going to save it, but the uniforms thing doesn't help.

Speaker 8 Like, the Patriots downgraded the uniforms to look like a high school team. That was so weird.

Speaker 8 And it's just one of those things where you're just like, oh, wow, we're really like the past is the past. Can I give you one more time?

Speaker 8 We're in this new era of like stiddam in these shitty jerseys and like hoping. I don't know.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 I don't know. Here's one more spin zone.

Speaker 1 This is the good times can't last forever.

Speaker 8 It'd be selfish to act like it's going to be, you know, complete dominance every year for, like, it has been for the last 15.

Speaker 4 This is the last thing that you can hang on to. The NFL season's not going to happen.
Well, there's that. And then there's also the chance that this was a mega, mega tampering situation.
Tamper Bay.

Speaker 4 So Gronk, according to some reports out there, has been in touch with all these parties over the last couple weeks.

Speaker 4 That would hypothetically make it a tampering case, which in turn would actually solidify the case I was making earlier that the only reason the Patriots let Tom go to Tampa Bay was so that they could entrap them into a tampering charge.

Speaker 4 Like, this could be Belichick's master plan to get Tampa docked all the draft picks and to have both Tom and Gronk return to New England with like three extra third-rounders.

Speaker 1 Good point. It's a good point.
I'll hold on to that. It's all just, this just,

Speaker 1 the other spins on the Yav Hank is like nothing makes sense anymore. So it's kind of perfect that.

Speaker 8 It's been like that since Brady left.

Speaker 1 Right, you, but you would, you, if we had said to you a year ago, we're Tom Brady and Rob Ronkowski are going to be Tampa Bay Bucks, you'd have been like, what?

Speaker 1 And I'm like, but we're also don't have sports. We're all locked in our own homes.
Huh?

Speaker 4 And the biggest sports news story of the last month has been a fake coach that Big Cat made. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Doug's air Doug's baby.

Speaker 8 And your dog breaking the

Speaker 1 two other sports.

Speaker 4 Like, considering that there are no sports, this has been a pretty decent sports week for part of my time.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we're just living in an alternate reality.

Speaker 4 I like this reality. It's created with a lot of people.
With the exception of the fact that I can't go out to a bar or watch.

Speaker 8 And Jake breaking the

Speaker 8 Buffalo Wobblings. It's like we really have our own bubble

Speaker 8 of just

Speaker 8 fake sports news.

Speaker 1 I'm really mad because I had a scoop that I could have broken that Revelle ended up having, but someone emailed me that

Speaker 1 Jonathan Taylor

Speaker 1 was buying a Toppers franchise in Madison. You had that one on him?

Speaker 1 They sent me the email and I was like, oh, who cares? Yeah, you got it. And then I saw him tweet it.
I was like, god damn it. I could have could have had that.

Speaker 8 I got that too. I didn't even.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we all probably got that.

Speaker 1 We never even think about it.

Speaker 4 Damn. You got to make an account for your dog to put that.

Speaker 1 Well, this is all Ravel has right now is fucking break. Well, that's all he ever has is just breaking PR emails.

Speaker 4 I'm also giving Leroy

Speaker 4 not a severance pay, but a pension. So he's going to be receiving a pension in his retirement.
So he's going to be taking care of income.

Speaker 1 forward sort of that out oh you medicare for all yeah exactly okay

Speaker 4 i'm gonna put a rose in leroy's uh display name on twitter so that would be funny if if he became like a political like pundit for the election season he could leroy could just pivot to politics like get out of sports entirely this bores me he would dominate chris salizza leroy is actually pound for pound a smarter individual than chris salizza i don't know who chris saliza is good he is the revelle of politics oh geez yeah you would would hate him.

Speaker 1 I already have one Ravel in my mind.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's more than enough for everybody. But so it's also going to be interesting to see how they use Gronk down in Tampa Bay because they've got two good tight ends.
Yeah. O.J.

Speaker 4 Mayo is kind of under, he's been underused.

Speaker 1 Here's what they probably will do. They have a terrible offensive line, so they'll probably just use Gronk as a tackle.

Speaker 4 Disagree. I think they're going to do the opposite.

Speaker 4 I think Bruce Arion sees Mike Evans and he's like, Rob Gronkowski has lost 25 pounds, 30 pounds. If we can have one big wide receiver, that's awesome.
Let's just use Gronk as a wide wide receiver.

Speaker 1 But Gronk is definitely,

Speaker 1 that's got to be such an awesome feeling. Not only is he back in football and he's like, yes, I'm back, but he also has to gain like 15 pounds.

Speaker 1 And I know he was in here being like, I feel healthier than I've ever felt. I'm reading and I'm doing all this stuff.
Dude, come on.

Speaker 1 You can also now eat like a million cheeseburgers and put on weight.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's a great feeling. Drew Rosenhaus was on ESPN today saying that Rob is already back up to 265 pounds.

Speaker 1 Bullshit. Yeah, he's got to say that.

Speaker 4 He's like 235, but I don't think he's going to put on that much weight. I think that Arians is going to be like, I like throwing the ball deep.
He's got blocks.

Speaker 1 I like throwing it outside. They got a bad.

Speaker 1 Like, that's the one thing

Speaker 1 if you're saying, like, oh my God, Tambay Bucks are going to be incredible. I don't know.
They're going to have to draft some off the ball.

Speaker 4 Yeah, they'll draft somebody. I don't think that they're going to use Gronk to block.
He's going to be Randy Mas out there. He's just going to be like a big

Speaker 1 tall

Speaker 1 1.75.

Speaker 4 That's not bad, Randy Mas.

Speaker 4 It also works because Randy means horny, and Gronk loves getting it up.

Speaker 1 True. All right, so we got draft coming up.
Thursday night, tune in. We have a huge draft show.
Barstool draft show will be part of it.

Speaker 1 Everyone else will be part of it. Stephen Shea will be part of it.

Speaker 1 Stephen Shea, no one has ever had a better quarantine than Stephen Shea because he's the only Bucks fan in America, and he now has Brady and Gronk.

Speaker 4 We're debuting a new music video during the draft, too.

Speaker 4 The song will be featured.

Speaker 8 Should we play the song right now?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was played at the end of the show. Okay, end of the show.

Speaker 1 Give them something they have to keep listening for. Yeah, and then we also have...
What's the name of it?

Speaker 4 Yeah. We interviewed Condoleezza.

Speaker 1 There we go. And then we also have...

Speaker 1 Make sure you tune in. End of the show.
We also have a wedding tomorrow night.

Speaker 4 We do. I was going to get to that in my...

Speaker 1 Hot seat cool throne. All right, so then let's do our hot seat cool terrone.
Hot seat cool terone.

Speaker 4 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 4 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 4 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster 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 4 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Hank, hot seat cool throw.

Speaker 8 On my hot seat is your goat,

Speaker 1 Joker. Yeah,

Speaker 1 but anti-vaxxer

Speaker 1 and Joker, I'm kind of the anti-vax guy. Yeah.
Even though I don't believe in it and think those people are fucking psycho.

Speaker 4 You also disagree with Hank. Actually, no, you agree with Hank's new policy of never taking shots.

Speaker 1 Never taking shots, yeah. That's true.

Speaker 8 Never taking shots. So he's still confirmed your goat.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we'll get through this. We'll get through this.
I mean, that was just, you know, people are just kind of this witch hunting left and right, whatever.

Speaker 1 In full honesty, I've watched Jokovich play like three tennis matches. Don't know anything about him.
Can't even pronounce his name. But he's still my GOAT.

Speaker 8 My other hot seat was UPFT. Uh-oh.
Speaking of tennis, table tennis playing again on Thursday.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit.

Speaker 8 Okay.

Speaker 4 Six o'clock. That's fine.
Good. I'm actually looking forward to this.

Speaker 8 And we're actually going to do a four out of seven this time.

Speaker 1 Yep. The last one doesn't count.

Speaker 4 Because I was told that it was going to be best of seven. You won in five.

Speaker 1 I'm going to really brush up on my ping pong switch.

Speaker 8 It's true. There's no technicalities that you can get off on this time.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's true. But yeah, Big Cat, here's a little tip.
The paddle is the bat in ping pong. I just learned that one.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Don't tell me how to do my job. I'm just saying.

Speaker 4 If you're going to be talking about the expensive paddles that were pretty good.

Speaker 1 There was a point in the last broadcast where I started just Googling it, and

Speaker 1 I kept on saying the things off the screen, just using them totally incorrectly. Because

Speaker 1 you use a weird handle just on my serve, yeah. Yeah, and I couldn't figure out what to call it.
All right, what's your so that'll be six o'clock on Thursday at

Speaker 8 nine o'clock tomorrow? My cool throne is love.

Speaker 8 Oh, okay. I kind of stole it from PFT.

Speaker 1 100%.

Speaker 8 I mean, I had it written down. I didn't steal it, but then you said you were going to do it.
And I was like, I already had it written down. Whatever.

Speaker 8 My other cool throne was uniforms, which we already kind of talked about, too. Patriots released theirs.

Speaker 8 Kind of trash, disappointing, which is just my general outlook on the franchise as a whole right now. And the Chargers released theirs, and they're amazing.

Speaker 1 The Chargers proved,

Speaker 1 I actually love that the Chargers. Hot C Rams.
Well, Hot C Rams, but the Chargers, we needed a uniform drop to keep the internet honest. Whereas, like, these are objectively amazing.

Speaker 1 No one should bash them. Because I said that right away.
I was like, I love these, but I know how the internet works.

Speaker 1 Someone's going to bash them, and then we'll just be the cynical assholes that we are. But it feels like everyone loved them.

Speaker 4 The only thing I have to do is...

Speaker 1 Don't say the numbers on the house. No, no, I love those.

Speaker 4 Okay, I love those. It reminds me of college football, old school shit.
What I don't like about these uniforms is that they remind me too much of San Diego.

Speaker 1 They make me just wish that they were located an hour and a half south bolt man would have lost these uniforms he would have absolutely he's crying a single tear right now damn damn bolt man i love bolt man him at city council is still one of the all-time greatest sports pictures i've ever seen in my life is that mascot still up for sale his whole uniform uh i don't know i was asking what like just 60 000 bucks for it yeah it was a little i mean it comes with mystique it does yeah uh my hot seat is oil Oil is on the hot seat big time.

Speaker 4 It's actually oil costs negative money Bro let me correct you here buddy. No, don't tell me that in my job.

Speaker 1 People kept on being like, you can't get into the stock market on Twitter if you don't know anything like myself.

Speaker 1 Holy shit, people go at you.

Speaker 4 My understanding is that oil is trading for negative dollars.

Speaker 4 Because, well, and earlier today,

Speaker 4 it was because you have to buy these futures contracts on oil. And so if you purchase them and

Speaker 4 you have to sometimes put them in storage, there's no storage space for oil. People have all the storage space filled up.

Speaker 4 So now there are all these people that are sucking gallons and barrels of oil out of the ground and don't have anywhere to send them. So they have to pay people to take it off their hands for them.

Speaker 1 Correct.

Speaker 4 I would liken it to Brock Cosweiler's contract with the Houston Texans when they had to pay the Cleveland Browns, I think, about $40 million just to take Brock Cosweiler off their hands.

Speaker 4 That's essentially what's happening with oil right now.

Speaker 1 Yes. So we need to get some

Speaker 4 storage.

Speaker 1 Have they considered

Speaker 4 making a pile for oil?

Speaker 1 I don't know. We should do it.
I don't know why someone's like, this doesn't take. If you have a shitload of land, I guess it's probably a little bit of hazard.
Someone lights a match.

Speaker 4 We have two floors in this office building. No one's working them right now.

Speaker 1 It's true.

Speaker 4 We should just store some oil up here.

Speaker 1 Just keep it all in here.

Speaker 1 Everyone's got a bathtub. Yep.
Maybe you've seen Game of Thrones personally.

Speaker 8 You know how that ends up now.

Speaker 4 What? Just put them in a bunch of Starbucks cups and leave them around at our feet?

Speaker 1 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 8 Well, no, that wouldn't get blown up.

Speaker 4 Oh, yeah. Oh, if you have too much oil? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh. Was it wildfire?

Speaker 4 People don't invade places because of oil.

Speaker 8 No, but

Speaker 8 it just takes like one fire arrow from across the bow.

Speaker 4 I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 Boom.

Speaker 4 Oh, you're talking about Dragon Glass.

Speaker 1 Nope.

Speaker 4 Season two? Yeah, what's the shit that goes in the boat?

Speaker 4 Yeah, wildfire. Got it.
Okay. Wildfire is oil.

Speaker 4 My cool throne is Ben Simmons' shot because he's been working with his trainer. I don't know if you saw the quote from his trainer earlier today.

Speaker 4 He said, when a shot is fixed, it's not even going to be just three-pointers. Oh, so Ben Simmons is going to unlock and

Speaker 4 big three or rock and jock. Our NBA GM tournament edition

Speaker 4 hit a shot from a hot spot on the court. He's got to.
So Ben Simmons is good.

Speaker 4 How did this affect the whole NBA shutting down? How did that affect the futures bets on him making like three and a half three-pointers?

Speaker 1 I think everything gets null if they never play again. Damn.
Yeah. I don't think anything's going to.

Speaker 1 I don't think they're going to play again.

Speaker 4 Ever?

Speaker 1 Ever.

Speaker 4 I heard a nasty rumor today. I'm not even going to repeat it.

Speaker 1 I mean, I've canceled sports for 2020. You guys got mad at me for that.

Speaker 4 I just heard a nasty rumor today. Say it.

Speaker 1 No, say it. No, Leroy.
Say it. It's out of the way.
Say it. Say it, PFT.

Speaker 4 College football is not happening.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I don't think it is.

Speaker 4 Until the spring, at least.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't think it is.

Speaker 4 How can they? I also heard that Notre Dame is putting, like, or the city of South Bend is going to go out of their way to ban football games.

Speaker 1 It doesn't make sense that they can play. Like, I hate that I have to say this, but it's the truth.
Like, how can you make kids who are not getting paid go and play if there's a pandemic going on?

Speaker 1 I agree.

Speaker 4 What about pros, though?

Speaker 1 Pros is a different ballgame because now everyone wants to make money and it's like they could figure out a way to do the quarantine bubble and all that shit. I don't know, someone make a vaccine.

Speaker 1 I, you know how many times I've just thought about like, dude, just fucking make a vaccine. If we thought about just going full send on a vaccine, not be legends about it.

Speaker 1 You're really, you then have to get back to the battle. You have to be able to then mass produce it for 300 million people.

Speaker 1 That's the whole thing.

Speaker 1 Shut that up.

Speaker 1 but they could no we could give it to the sports people give it to sports players oh give it all the sports i don't give a fuck i'll stay in my house if you play sports what if we tested it on sports players great

Speaker 1 great give the vaccine no i agree to sports to the athletes of the world let them play and i'll get mine in 2022 i don't care okay here's the deal because we can't be hypocritical here we can't expect a player to take a vaccine that we don't also get ourselves without knowing it's safe first fine fine we'll take

Speaker 4 yeah exactly so to get to be able to watch the games on tv or get into them you also have to take the experimental vaccine who says none

Speaker 1 all you nerds out there stay in your house all of our all of us sports guys

Speaker 1 shoot whatever you want into my heart oh man i don't care what it is yeah no i don't think i i i just don't i think we're all just hoping and praying that like it's just gonna all magically disappear.

Speaker 1 But yeah, how do you have college football?

Speaker 4 I don't think that you can.

Speaker 1 Good news is Doug is at least 10 years away from his third heart attack. So

Speaker 4 Doug's also into Yukon football.

Speaker 1 And I never get tired of beating PFT and ping pong. Well, and also

Speaker 1 I just realized. Shut up, Hank.

Speaker 4 You beat me three times, one of which was lucky because I served into my own face. PFT never happened.

Speaker 1 I just realized this. What are we going to do now?

Speaker 1 I guess we'll have to give it to Jake Marsh because my plan was to keep playing Doug until eventually I win a national championship as a head coach and then kill him off with a heart attack and have him be reported.

Speaker 1 So I guess Jake Marshall had to report it.

Speaker 4 I would actually.

Speaker 8 You think there's a kill screen in NCAA where it's like two guys.

Speaker 1 Hey, we got a kill screen over here. We got a kill screen.
We got a kill screen. I think.

Speaker 1 Want to come see the Donkey Kong kill screen? Like the 20th season, it just ends? No, yes, that actually does happen. Kill some guy.
I saw some guy played 60 seasons.

Speaker 1 And it said, literally, the menu said, like, coach, you're a legend now. Time to hang him up.
He died. They killed your coach office.

Speaker 4 You could also get him involved in some sort of like really, really bad scandal.

Speaker 1 Yo, he's a scandal all the time. I mean, he's been doing scandals left and right.
He's been paying for it.

Speaker 4 Who's that coach from Alabama that coached there for like two months? Was it Price?

Speaker 4 There was this big report in Sports Illustrated came out. The Alabama football coach, and he was like fucking hookers and telling them to scream roll tide at him.
Bro, I got this.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm going to do all the Douglas is.

Speaker 4 People don't talk about that guy enough. No, he has a fucking legend.

Speaker 1 That's Dougs has

Speaker 1 a poster of him in his office.

Speaker 1 All right, my hot seats is Ryan Pace.

Speaker 1 So we got a lot of stories about Wi-Fi and how everyone's drafting. This one comes from Colleen Kane.

Speaker 1 She said, Bears GM Ryan Pace said today he will draft in his dining room, has seven monitors and a cord running from his router down the stairs to his setup to make sure internet is running smoothly.

Speaker 1 Noted a hiccup the other day when his wife vacuumed and accidentally unplugged his monitors. Why even admit this?

Speaker 1 Just say, I got it. I say, I got the fucking internet.
Don't worry about it. This is

Speaker 1 he's he's he's got a he's got a fucking like 50-inch cord going from his dining room to his basement.

Speaker 4 I'm really enjoying all these different NFL GMs that are doing home renovation projects. The GM of the Seahawks just tore down some walls on his house to install new cables.
I love it.

Speaker 4 They're freaking out.

Speaker 4 They're going to screw up their own homes, and it's not going to work, and it's going to be glorious to watch.

Speaker 4 I'm actually, I haven't been this excited for a draft, and part of that is is because the R-words are picking second, but I haven't been excited like this for a draft in years and years because of the potential for just absolute chaos and weirdness.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's going to be crazy. Tune in on Thursday night.
It's going to be fucking awesome. We also have Trey Wingo coming up in a second.
My cool throne is coffee, coffee drinkers. I don't know.

Speaker 1 I tweeted this earlier. It just popped in my head.
Nick Van Exel. Yes, iced coffee drinkers.

Speaker 1 What,

Speaker 1 like, drinking coffee at this point in my life with the quarantine and everything that's going on is easily the highlight of my day.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you guys agree, but like you've turned into coffee dad. Looking into, yeah, like waking up, being like, ooh, when am I going to have my coffee? Grabbing the mug.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's nothing else. There's nothing else to look forward to.

Speaker 4 You know that Twitter account, Coffee Dad? Just like literally every tweet is like, gonna have some coffee.

Speaker 1 Look forward to my coffee. Are you guys not, do you guys not look forward to your coffee?

Speaker 1 I have coffee.

Speaker 8 I look forward to my Deathwish coffee, but.

Speaker 1 Deathwish coffee every morning. Deathwish.

Speaker 1 Like, that's all I have. It's the 10 minutes, like, going up to the coffee, then drinking the coffee, and then the 10 minutes after, we're like, that was good coffee.

Speaker 4 I look forward to my first beer of the day.

Speaker 8 I look forward to dropping in on Warzone.

Speaker 1 Really gets the blood flow. Okay, all right.
So we have to go to the house. I look forward to Game of Thrones, too.
We all have our things.

Speaker 4 And we go home and watch an episode.

Speaker 1 I actually puke before every Doug's game, so I don't really look forward to it. I get so fucking nervous about the teenagers bullying me.

Speaker 4 That's good, though. When you stop puking, that's when you have a problem.

Speaker 1 That's true. The coffee, though, I don't know.

Speaker 8 It's just, it's all I have left. Do you make homemade iced?

Speaker 1 No, French press.

Speaker 1 Ooh la la. I mean, it's just

Speaker 1 a matter of when you

Speaker 1 say it, it sounds crazy.

Speaker 1 It's literally the easiest thing. It's boiling water, and then you just put the grounds in the thing, and then you just push the thing down, and then you have coffee.
That's it.

Speaker 4 That's pretty sweet. What about the way that the dude from Breaking Bad made it, where he had like a whole setup? What did he have? He had like a percolator or something.

Speaker 1 Yeah, see, I'm not going to become a coffee guy because then you're just a douchebag.

Speaker 4 That sounds like coffee.

Speaker 1 No, he's a coffee guy. No, I like that sound.
He looks like you're a coffee guy. No, I like dad.

Speaker 4 I'm not a coffee guy. There's a difference.

Speaker 1 Yeah, a coffee guy.

Speaker 1 one. It's like, now I'm going to start brewing IPAs in my tub.
No. No, I'm not doing that.
I just like to drink coffee. I had five cups today.

Speaker 4 I'm going to have another Deathwish.

Speaker 1 I had five cups today, and I feel good. That's totally normal.
I think it's just because it really is the act of getting up and being like, all right, time for another cup of coffee.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I'll tell you what it is. It's that it makes your brain feel different.
Yeah. Something.
So, like, I don't care what it is.

Speaker 4 If I'm like, if I'm going to bed and I have a sip of Nyquil to knock me out, if I'm, it's late in the afternoon, maybe I have an extracurricular

Speaker 4 gummy,

Speaker 4 then that's something I look forward to. If it's my first beer, I look forward to that.
If it's a stimulant like coffee, it just anything that makes me feel different over the course of the day.

Speaker 4 Oh, we know. And distract.
I'm not a drug guy, Hank. That's one misconception about this.

Speaker 1 Oh, speaking of which, Phil Mickelson just responded to that tweet of mine.

Speaker 1 What is Phil doing online? He said, coffee is for wellness,

Speaker 1 physically, and mentally. Who even knew some people don't drink it? That's so sad to hear.

Speaker 8 This is where Leroy needs to come over the top and be like, Phil, come come on the show. Phil, come on the show.

Speaker 1 Phil, Phil.

Speaker 4 You want me to hit him with it? Phil, come on the show?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Phil, come on the show.

Speaker 8 And now everyone listening to this needs to go

Speaker 1 apply to Leroy's. Yes.

Speaker 1 I don't know if I'm taking physical and mental wellness from Phil Mickelson advice.

Speaker 4 I absolutely. Have you seen his calves? Yeah, that's true.
Tremendous calves.

Speaker 1 And we just have a similar cup size.

Speaker 8 He is the idea of physical specimen.

Speaker 1 Both in coffee and breasts.

Speaker 4 Well, he's lost some of the mantites, which is very disappointing.

Speaker 1 I'm on a diet, so I'm on the way. How's that going?

Speaker 8 Meet you there, Phil. Pretty good.
Just drinking coffee to stunt your appetite.

Speaker 1 Five cups of coffee a day. That's the big cat diet.

Speaker 1 Dude,

Speaker 1 Nick Costas, who's a good follower on Twitter, gambling Twitter, he said that he started adding a cigarette with his coffee during quarantine. I was like, I might do that.

Speaker 1 If I could smoke inside, I would do it.

Speaker 4 I considered starting to smoke my child

Speaker 4 when the quarantine started.

Speaker 1 Dude, having having something about having a cigarette inside is fucking awesome.

Speaker 8 Peaky Blinders have been watching Piggy Blinders too. They just rip them 24-7.
It's like,

Speaker 1 where were we in the 1800s?

Speaker 4 Dude, Six Inside is one of my favorite things in the entire world. We were down in Nashville and we found that random trailer bar.
Yeah. I think it was called Santa's.

Speaker 4 I just went back there two nights in a row. Just so you should.
Just so I could smoke more cigarettes. And I'm not even a cigarette smoker.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. Let's get to Tre Wingo.
Tre Wingo. Oh, PFT's writing.

Speaker 4 Phil, come on, part of my take. Bark.

Speaker 1 Yes. Yes.
Let's see. We changed the avatar to guess booker for part.

Speaker 1 Guess booker for pardon my taking.

Speaker 8 We should make it head booker and just see what Kelly says.

Speaker 8 See how long it takes for that text to come in.

Speaker 1 Can you get a picture of Leroy looking at a calendar and make that the avatar?

Speaker 4 I'll have it be Leroy, but with bangs and like a bob haircut.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes. I'm looking straight at it.
I'm like, what do we got? Maybe put a Sharpie in his hand.

Speaker 1 All right, BFD, you got an ad before we get to our man Trey Wingo.

Speaker 4 Yeah, before we get to Trey, we're very excited to announce a brand new partner. Do we have a new partner noise hank? I know we have a new segment noise.

Speaker 8 No.

Speaker 4 New partner, though. Here we go.

Speaker 4 That was pretty impressive.

Speaker 9 Lucy's the obvious choice for a true nicotine pouch connoisseurs. That's why they're official nicotine pouch partner of Barstool Sports.

Speaker 9 They go up to 12 milligrams in strength and have unique shape that feels great.

Speaker 9 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 9 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 9 Gas station pouches get the job done, but once you've tried Lucy, you won't want anything else in your pocket.

Speaker 4 So now, Trey Wingo.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on recurring guest and friend of the program.

Speaker 1 He's going to be in every single television in America in your living room on Thursday night because he's hosting the draft and hosting everyone for the draft. It is Trey Wingo.

Speaker 1 Trey, thank you for joining us. First off, I want to say a belated happy holidays on Monday.
Sorry about not having you on then. It's quite all right.
Okay.

Speaker 1 It's all good, boys. How are we? Okay, we're doing good.

Speaker 1 Let's start with logistically.

Speaker 1 Have you had the moment where you realize like this is insane, what we're about to do?

Speaker 1 And you're going to basically host a draft across two different networks and everyone's going to be remote on Thursday night?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, not really.

Speaker 2 We're going in for a huge test Wednesday, and maybe it'll sink in then. But, like,

Speaker 2 you know, the draft is insane to begin with. Like, right before you guys came on, we were just looking through the channels.

Speaker 2 Or you guys called, we were flicking through the channels, and the 2017 draft from Philadelphia was on. By the way, I have bad news for

Speaker 1 what happened to that one

Speaker 4 at the top of that one.

Speaker 1 I saw it, too. Okay.

Speaker 2 They just picked Mitch Trubitsky and Patrick Warren still on the board.

Speaker 1 Football. Yeah, only twice.

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 2 the draft itself is insane, right? I mean, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 So, like, it's just from the way I'm looking at it, like, everything going up to the draft for me is the same, and how it plays out is how it's going to play out. But I can't worry about that, right?

Speaker 2 I'm just going to have to

Speaker 2 do the thing, and we'll figure it out as we go along.

Speaker 4 What's the sentiment from around the NFL?

Speaker 4 Because I've read some pretty crazy stories about NFL GMs' front offices tearing up rooms in their house to put in new, like, high, high-bandwidth cables, things like that.

Speaker 2 I'll put it this way what have you learned from conducting your show remotely that you think the NFL could could learn before the draft starts well I mean like there's it's gonna be messy right there's no way around that and I think that it's not gonna go smooth I mean they had their they had their test run the other day and it was a two and a half minute glitch with the Bengals trying to make the first pick and and you know the joke ha ha the bengals it was actually on the on the league's front so they're they had to figure that out but after that it went okay diana rossini was on with us

Speaker 2 this morning, and she was hilarious. She was talking to one GM, and apparently he couldn't get his Wi-Fi to go because all the kids were watching Disney Plus.

Speaker 2 It was eating up all the bandwidth in the house. So, look, it's going to be weird.

Speaker 2 I mean, like, normally we've seen situations in the past where if a team doesn't get it on time, you know, the Vikings in 03, the Ravens in 2011, and they were jumped.

Speaker 2 That's not going to happen this year. I think there's going to be a little more leeway.
Adam Schefter had the story that the Lions guy, the IT guy, is going to be in a Winnebago outside this crowd.

Speaker 1 Right. Right.
That's the funniest part.

Speaker 1 That's hilarious.

Speaker 1 Number one.

Speaker 4 If you're in a Winnebago, that's a Chevy, right? You work for the Lions, you should be in a Ford.

Speaker 1 That's like.

Speaker 2 See, this is why you're next level. I had not even put that together, but you were 100% right.
Or they could be in a Vanny Woodhead, which would also work.

Speaker 4 Here's a crazy thought. Why not just let him in the house? I don't think he has to be in the driveway, right? Just like waiting like he's

Speaker 1 conducting a heist.

Speaker 2 They're basically saying one person in a house at a time.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 The NFL actually sent out a league-wide email saying, don't try and game the system.

Speaker 2 Like some GM or coaches downstairs, or some owner is downstairs, and there's like GM or coaches hiding in his master bathroom upstairs.

Speaker 2 They don't want that. They're like, if you do that, we're going to find out about it.

Speaker 1 The hammer will come down on you.

Speaker 4 Ernie Adams is definitely going to be like under Belichick's bed whispering.

Speaker 1 That's crazy. That is crazy.
So, wait,

Speaker 1 so logistically speaking, you're going to be the only person in studio, correct?

Speaker 2 Yeah, it'll be me and the camera operator and maybe one other person.

Speaker 1 That's it. Oh my God.
And then what is the plan

Speaker 1 for spreading the ball around between ESPN and NFL network talent?

Speaker 1 Because we had Daniel Jeremiah on on Monday and we're like, are you going to get called on or are you going to, do you have a list that you're going to basically

Speaker 1 give preference to your guys and then and then maybe sprinkle it to the NFL network guys?

Speaker 2 No, look, I think the idea is: look,

Speaker 2 Daniel used to work for us before he worked for the NFL network. Michael Irvin used to work with us.
You know, obviously, Rich has been here. Kurt Warner has

Speaker 2 sort of been around. We're going to get everybody in.
And the way I'm looking at it is,

Speaker 2 is it a lot more people? Sure, but it's just, it's that many more resources at our disposal. So, you know, this is, you guys know this.
This is such an incestuous business.

Speaker 2 Like, half the people at Fox or NFL Network or ESPN all worked at one place or one another. So it's kind of actually cool that we get a chance to do this.

Speaker 2 Like last year, I remember we had a big thing on Sports Center. It was me, Rich, and Reese, and we all just sort of, you know, telling stories leading up to the draft and how it went.

Speaker 2 Then we all went our separate ways. But we're all sort of in this together this year, which is kind of cool because I think that's the message the NFL wants to get out there is like, you know,

Speaker 2 the draft is always about like, okay, we can suck forever, but the draft this year, it's going to turn around. It gives hope, a little new beginning.

Speaker 2 And obviously, that's something that a lot of us are looking for right now in our daily lives.

Speaker 2 And hopefully, this will give us a little injection of some semblance of normalcy when sports has just gone off the charts.

Speaker 4 Football is family, is what they're getting at. Yeah, I like that.
How bummed are you from a personal standpoint that you don't get to go to Las Vegas?

Speaker 2 Yeah, you know, I just said watching that draft in Philly, and that was the first one where

Speaker 1 we were outdoors.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 2 The first two years in Chicago, the day three was outdoors. But

Speaker 2 that year in Philly, the whole thing was outdoors. And it was nuts.
I mean, Friday night in round three, we had 125,000 people screaming, Fly, Eagles, Fly, at the top of their lungs

Speaker 2 when the Eagles made their third round pick. And it was awesome.

Speaker 2 We just shut up for like four minutes and let them finish the song, you know, and then Drew Pearson got up there and yelled at the crowd. They yelled back.

Speaker 2 I mean, there's no way to replicate that, right? I think we were planning on having close to three-quarters of a a million people in Las Vegas. We had 650,000 in Nashville last year.

Speaker 2 That's just not going to be there. And there's no way to replicate that.
So

Speaker 2 that's going to be, I think, the biggest challenge is to keep that energy going because you fed off the crowd. You guys have been there.
You know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1 Have you had the moment yet where you're like, this is actually an opportunity of a lifetime for you personally, given the captive audience here and there's no other, you know, usually the drafts are running against the NBA playoffs or the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Speaker 1 You are basically like America's dad. I'm not going to say stepdad, America's dad.

Speaker 2 I was about to say stepdad would be in conjunction with this show. That would be more inappropriate.

Speaker 4 That's just for me because Mike Greenberg, I always looked at as my morning show dad. And so then you came in, you're like, hey, I'm cool, too.

Speaker 4 And you turned your chair around and you're like, let me wrap it, you kids, for a little bit. But no, in this situation, you are definitely...

Speaker 1 You're American. Yes.
You're going to basically.

Speaker 4 You're all we've got, Trey.

Speaker 1 You're going to be trending. You're going to trend on Twitter.
Everyone's going to be like, Trey Wingo, great job. Unless you screw it up, obviously.

Speaker 1 But as we're sitting here right now on Tuesday night, everyone's going to be like, Trey Wingo, holy shit, man. Way to knock it out of the park.

Speaker 2 Well, look, the way I look at it and the way I've always sort of done it, no matter what I was doing, like when I was doing the women's NCAA tournament, if I'm doing it, it's the most important thing, right?

Speaker 2 That's sort of the way

Speaker 2 I've gone about it. So that hasn't changed at all for me.
I mean, it really hasn't.

Speaker 2 And maybe

Speaker 2 at some point over the next 24 to 48 hours, it'll hit me, but I don't think so because it's just doing the thing and then we're just putting it out there.

Speaker 2 That honestly, I know that this may sound stupid, but that hasn't even thought that that thought hasn't really even crossed my mind.

Speaker 2 It's just about preparation and getting ready and then executing.

Speaker 1 So just think about it for a second.

Speaker 1 The inserted thing. Yeah, I don't want you to get the yips, but like literally everyone's going to be watching you.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it'll be fun. I mean,

Speaker 2 listen, I mean, seriously, like, what's the worst thing that could happen? I mean, honestly, what's the worst thing that could happen?

Speaker 2 Like, Roger Goodell's face freezes or you're having an interview with Ryan Pace and the feed cuts out. I mean, it's going to be messy.
The draft on its best night

Speaker 2 is never fully smooth. I mean, my God, speaking of the national holiday on Monday, you know, Laramie Tunsell showed up smoking weed in a gas van.

Speaker 1 True.

Speaker 4 True.

Speaker 1 One of Jerry Jones' friends might walk by in the background without clothes. It's a good point.
It's a good point.

Speaker 1 It's chaotic. And now it might even be better.
It might even be less chaotic now with a little more structure.

Speaker 2 Well, the only thing that's weird is, you guys know this, is when you're sitting next to someone and doing this, like nonverbal communication is the thing.

Speaker 2 Okay, they wave, you want to get in, I got that. And then there's the pauses because there's going to be Lewis and there's going to be Booger.
There's going to be Mel. There's going to be Todd.

Speaker 2 There's going to be Michael. There's going to be Daniel.
There's going to be Kurt. There's going to be Rich.
I mean, that part of it. I mean, we also have 60, guys.

Speaker 2 We have 60 players set up with remote, and I don't want to say camera crews because they're not there, but remote setups to be able to deal with them. And Susie with the interviews.

Speaker 2 So the pauses are going to be a little weird. That's the thing that I would think of because everybody's not always on the same, it's not always in sync.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 You can tell when there's a little pause sometimes and there's a half second or second delay and it feels like forever. So that'll be the thing to make sure we don't step on each other's toes.

Speaker 2 But it's going to happen. There's no way around it.
There's just no way around it and you just have to sort of deal with it.

Speaker 4 What's your professional trick for dealing with that pause?

Speaker 4 Because I always do notice on TV and I always get like secondhand embarrassment for the anchors that are having to deal with it when you say, okay, we're going to kick it over to so-and-so.

Speaker 4 And then there's, you know, they're nodding, they're looking at the camera, they're nodding. At what point do you jump in and say,

Speaker 4 well, it looks like we're having some technical difficulties. How long do you give them?

Speaker 8 Well, it's funny.

Speaker 2 When you start like early on and you hear that, you're like, you think a second is like a day, you know, and you want to jump in right away. So

Speaker 2 I'm going to count in my head, like, okay, three, four.

Speaker 2 And if nobody's saying anything and I'm not hearing anything from anybody in like the control room or the truck, then I'm going to say, well, clearly that's not happening, so we're going to try and go to somewhere else.

Speaker 2 So, you know, you just have to, it's like flying over the Rockies, right? You know, there's going to be some turbulence, so you just want to wear your seatbelt. Yes.

Speaker 1 So let's talk a little, like, actual draft.

Speaker 1 What's going on with the Tua slide? Do you buy it, or do you think this is maybe someone trying to sneak into those top three or four picks and pick up a franchise quarterback.

Speaker 2 Well, I kind of buy it because of the way the draft is this year, right? I mean, you can't bring him into your building.

Speaker 2 You can't check him out. And, you know, he put up that 10-second video, what, about a month ago, and people were freaking out about it.

Speaker 2 And my thought process, yeah, he looked great, but how do we know, like, as soon as the camera stopped rolling, he was like, son of a

Speaker 1 camera. You know,

Speaker 2 you just have no idea. And then he went through the nine-minute, 22-second thing, and I think that that calmed a lot of people's fears.

Speaker 2 But the the really weird part about this, guys, is it's Miami, right? Because in 06, Miami refused to clear Drew Brees because they didn't think his shoulder was strong enough.

Speaker 2 So they passed, and they settled on signing Dante Culpepper in free agency. Clearly, that was not the way to go.

Speaker 2 And if they do pass on Tua, if he is healthy, they might be going down that road again.

Speaker 4 Right. And guess who Tua's college coach was, the former coach of the Dolphins, who passed on Drew Brees.

Speaker 4 So is Sabin weighing in on this? Is Saban like, hey, don't fuck this up again?

Speaker 2 Yes, Sabin has been like, look, Tua's everything. He's going to be fine.
But no one knows. I mean, like, the weird thing about Tua is it's not just the hip injury, right?

Speaker 2 It's the two ankle sprains, which, by the way, a lot of doctors say that he's actually going to be much more stable by having that wire surgery in both ankles, but he also had the lingering knee injury.

Speaker 2 So, like, the hip injury, whatever, it happened. It's a freak thing.
But in three years, he's had the two surgeries on both ankles, a lingering knee issue, and the hip.

Speaker 2 And then you're thinking, all right, okay, so he was really good in college, but there were two things about Tua in college. He was really good, and he really didn't get through a season healthy.

Speaker 2 So when you get to the next level, when it's bigger, faster, stronger, is that going to be a problem? And I think that's what, I think that's part of the process that Miami is weighing here.

Speaker 2 Look, whoa, nobody knows. Like Thursday night, nobody's going to be right.
But that's the beauty of the draft. Nobody's wrong, and nobody's right.

Speaker 2 Now you go back to the 2015 draft, the top 10 picks in the draft in 2015, only one of those guys is still with the team that signed him. That's Brandon Scherf, the offensive lineman for Washington.

Speaker 2 Everybody else, including the two quarterbacks, have moved on.

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

Speaker 4 Who do you think is going to be the first wide receiver taken?

Speaker 2 You know, I think that a lot of people are locked in on Jerry Judy, but boy, I love Henry Ruggs. I mean, he

Speaker 2 has 98 catches at Alabama, 24 of them went for touchdowns. He put another way, like one of every four catches he took to the house.

Speaker 2 Now, obviously, you're not going to do that in the pros, but he's not just a one-trick pony. Like normally straight line speed guys like John Ross in Cincinnati

Speaker 1 is what they do.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but he runs the routes. He only had one drop.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's really interesting because it just rugs, CeeDee Lamb, and Jerry Judy, those three guys, if you talk to five different player personnel guys, they'll give you five different answers on the order of those three guys.

Speaker 1 Have you gotten a sense from around the league of a team that might be a little more aggressive given the circumstances?

Speaker 1 A team that you can hear from more than a few people like, hey, they're going to move up. They're going to be like trading, wheeling, and dealing in this draft.

Speaker 2 Well, you know,

Speaker 2 because of what we're dealing with here, I'm wondering if it's going to be less aggressive. Like, John Elway came out and said it yesterday, we had six trades in the first round last year.

Speaker 2 I don't know if we're going to have that many unless they're pre-packaged trades. Like,

Speaker 2 you've figured it out ahead of time.

Speaker 2 Because if you are concerned about the technology and your Winnebago or your Vanny Woodhead guy isn't out in your driveway, you know, are you going to be able to figure that out?

Speaker 2 So, usually, teams that have multiple picks are very aggressive, right? The Dolphins have three, the Raiders have two, the Niners have two, but they're already looking to trade back.

Speaker 2 The Vikings have two, and I think the Jaguars have two. So, normally, those teams that are most aggressive are teams with multiple picks.

Speaker 2 And normally, in most situations, those teams with multiple picks usually trade them for a quarterback.

Speaker 2 Although the Saints did it a few years ago and traded a first-rounder for Marcus Davenport, the defensive end out of UTSA, San Antonio.

Speaker 2 And he's been okay, but he hasn't been exactly what they thought. If you're spending that kind of draft capital, you're probably looking at a quarterback.

Speaker 1 It just dawned on me, how awesome is it to have covered all these drafts and be able to just say where guys went to college?

Speaker 1 Because that's like the baseline of having someone think you're a super smart sports guy to be like, yeah, Marcus

Speaker 1 Davenport, UTSA. And everyone's like, damn, you know your shit.

Speaker 2 Well, it's funny, Big Cat, because the draft is like, I know, like, all this stuff about guys, but over the next three months, it'll fall out of my head.

Speaker 1 You know, and then

Speaker 1 I'll go into the season, and I'll see that guy, and I'm like, oh, yeah, wasn't he the guy that was the juggler or whatever? Right.

Speaker 2 And then it sort of comes back, you know, but I mean, it's like cramming for an exam.

Speaker 2 You know, I don't have to know everything all semester long, but if I can nail it over three days before the test, then I'm getting the grade I need.

Speaker 1 That's a perfect analogy.

Speaker 4 Speaking of that juggler guy, what is the one fun fact that you just can't wait to unleash on America in the first round about somebody coming off the board?

Speaker 2 Well, I don't know if a lot of these guys are going to be first-rounders. A lot of those great stories are like in the second round, but there is a potential first-round running back who

Speaker 2 would have been a philosophy major at Harvard, and his favorite philosopher is Emmanuel Kant, the Georgian, the German philosopher.

Speaker 1 Be careful how you pronounce that. That's a really good one.

Speaker 4 You might get trending if you fumble over that name there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, very careful.

Speaker 2 Got to pronounce it very slowly.

Speaker 1 Kant. Yes.
A-A-N-T. Emmanuel Kant.

Speaker 2 That would be trending for the wrong reasons.

Speaker 2 We also have an offensive lineman who also played snare drum in the high school band. That's before he realized he

Speaker 2 had to do something else. There's a guy who swims with sharks and cliff jumps.
That's also good. Ooh, Red Blood.
That's just a bunch of fun stuff.

Speaker 2 That's the kind of stuff I enjoy because everybody looks at the draft and they think like, we're just getting a product. No, you're getting a person.

Speaker 2 Some of these people are 21, 22 years old, and they have some really cool stuff in their background. And I like telling that part of it.

Speaker 4 So I I think Big Cat wants to get to this eventually but I'll just jump in and say it. So

Speaker 4 Chicago doesn't have any picks on the first day. They're picking in the second round.

Speaker 1 43. Do you expect

Speaker 4 the Bears to show up unexpectedly, kind of a backdoor move and get a surprise Bears appearance on Thursday?

Speaker 1 In the first round?

Speaker 4 Yeah, surprise Bears just on your back porch.

Speaker 2 Oh, oh, you mean like the kind that would be on my back porch that would be leaning over?

Speaker 4 Oh, I didn't think about that. But yeah, that too.

Speaker 2 Like peeking in to see what we're doing.

Speaker 1 Yes. But it's night out.
I mean,

Speaker 1 it's day out in the picture. I mean, like, for example, like, the bears came back last week.

Speaker 1 Did they?

Speaker 2 Yeah, they're here every night, bro.

Speaker 1 I think I'm here. Every night?

Speaker 1 You need to do a live stream, like a nature live stream in your backyard. Yeah, set up a camera.
A GoPro.

Speaker 2 No, it's nuts. I mean, they're here all the time.

Speaker 2 And we actually have, like, over the last three months, we've noticed that there's a a couple of bobcats out there as well it's like it's crazy up here rural connecticut is a great place to ride out a pandemic but you are in bleeping nature out here

Speaker 4 that's crazy i do want to discuss the bear picture real quick then we'll get back to the draft stuff so last i heard the party line on the bear picture was you had the same bear that showed up a couple years ago um but then you didn't get a picture of it this time no this bear has been i mean like he's been here and i'm assuming it's the same bear because we've been in the same house for five years and he shows shows up all the time.

Speaker 2 But he came through, it was like a Friday night at like 11 o'clock, and he was on the deck eating the bird feeder.

Speaker 2 And then we turned on the light because we heard the thump of the bird feeder falling down. And so he got scared and ran away, so I couldn't get a picture.
So this was at 11 o'clock at night.

Speaker 2 So I just looked for a picture of a bear on the deck, and I said, so a bear. was on my deck and I didn't think anything about it because I figured it was a daytime photo.

Speaker 2 People wouldn't think I was saying that was the bear. I was just using that as an analogy.
And I went to bed, and the next morning I woke up, and it was kind of hilarious.

Speaker 1 Friday bears.

Speaker 4 It was interesting, Trey, because me, like a lot of other people in America, I think we thought you were pulling a fast one on us and saying that this is the bear.

Speaker 4 And that bear had gone previously viral.

Speaker 2 Yeah, big cat. How many bear videos have I sent you?

Speaker 1 He actually has sent me like three or four bear videos of just a bear just hanging out in his backyard. I believe

Speaker 1 there are bears.

Speaker 4 Well, you need to start putting those videos online so that everyone else can understand that this is an active bear situation that you have.

Speaker 2 I mean, they're all over Connecticut, right?

Speaker 2 I actually thought it's kind of funny. Somebody put a Photoshop of like sharks in my bathtub, which I thought was very funny.

Speaker 2 I thought that one was pretty good. So, you know, it's like when I ate the chip, you know, that hot chip.
I did it twice in one day and people still didn't believe I ate the chip.

Speaker 1 So, you know, people are going to believe what they believe. It's true.
It's true.

Speaker 1 All right, the other big thing I wanted to discuss with you, draft prep. I wrote down some quotes that you could possibly use.

Speaker 1 If you want to take out a pen and paper, I'll just fire them off. So, Chase Young from Maryland, I'm thinking crab cakes and football.

Speaker 2 That's what Maryland does.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's pretty good. That one would be good.

Speaker 2 And this would be the second straight year that the Redskins did that, right?

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 2 Dwayne Haskins went to high school in Maryland with Dan Snyder's kid, I believe. Yes.

Speaker 1 What about just doing the lock it up? Lock it up. No, you lock it up when you want someone to stop talking on the Zoom.

Speaker 2 Lock it up? All right.

Speaker 2 For you, I will work that in.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Now, here's my question for you.

Speaker 2 Here's my question for you. How concerned are you about the tread on Jonathan Taylor's tires?

Speaker 1 Well, running back is. He's more than 926 carries in college.
I know. He is special, though, and he's got the size and the speed.
Like you don't see that combo very often, but yeah, I mean

Speaker 1 he's an awesome, awesome player. I feel like his career like not getting invited to New York was a travesty because he was that good for that many years.

Speaker 1 But yeah, I'd be a little worried about the tread on his tire. Now, don't get me off my old school

Speaker 1 Anchorman Wedding Crasher quotes, okay? I see what you did there. Sorry, I interrupted you.

Speaker 1 Now, this one, you take it or leave it, but I was thinking, given the time time with the pandemic and everything, you could just open up the broadcast with Death, You Are My Bitch Lover.

Speaker 1 That's from Wedding Crashers. Maybe not.

Speaker 2 Probably going to think that wouldn't set the tone off.

Speaker 1 Okay, what about if we get a big trade and you just give the old classic, well, that escalated quickly?

Speaker 2 Yes, that'll probably happen.

Speaker 1 Okay, and then my last.

Speaker 4 I'll also use that if a bunch of players from the same position get taken right after each other. Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 In succession, yes.

Speaker 2 And with the receivers, there could be a run of those at like from 10 to 20.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm thinking.

Speaker 4 That's your prime territory.

Speaker 1 If the Ravens do anything crazy, you can give them an old Great Odin's Raven from Anchorman.

Speaker 2 Yes, absolutely. We are ready, although Mel will probably be upset if I take that and he doesn't.

Speaker 1 Okay, and then the last one I had was from old school. Maybe

Speaker 1 when the Vegas Raiders pick their first player, you can do a little

Speaker 1 America, can you earmuff for me?

Speaker 1 Yeah, this guy's going to get so much ass here, it's going to be sick. I'm talking crazy boy band ass.
Say

Speaker 2 Potentially. Okay.

Speaker 1 That's not a no. That's not a no.

Speaker 2 That one is a thought bubble.

Speaker 1 We're working on that one. Just think about it.

Speaker 4 Have this one ready, too, just in case of emergency.

Speaker 4 If there's like a GM or somebody that you're talking to and they have like a little kid that runs behind them in the background naked, just say, we're going streaking.

Speaker 1 Yes. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 2 By the way, who's the owner you think that is going to leave the camera on when he goes with the John, right?

Speaker 2 Which owner is going to accidentally keep the video zoom on when he has to retire to the music?

Speaker 1 Virginia McCastle.

Speaker 4 I was going to say, I think Mark Davis might conduct it from the toilet.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 Get up.

Speaker 1 Listen,

Speaker 2 these are weird times. These are end of days we're sort of dealing with right here.

Speaker 1 Well, we're rooting for you. We appreciate you coming on.
This has been fun. I know that you

Speaker 1 do, let's give Trey a lot of credit because we do make jokes at your expense and you always take them very well.

Speaker 1 So you roll with the punches, the old school, the wedding crashers, the anchorman quote jokes. So we appreciate this, though, and good luck.

Speaker 1 Don't think about the fact that everyone in America is going to be watching you on Thursday night. Don't think about that.

Speaker 2 You know, listen, if we come close to the days, the numbers for the last dance, we'll all be very happy. And I promise you, the one thing I'm not going to do too much in this entire process is think.

Speaker 1 Yes, and

Speaker 1 I'm going to give you a guarantee on behalf of PFT. If you nail this draft, I think PFT has to tweet out, great job, America's dad.
I'll do do that. Listen,

Speaker 1 no, no, no, here's what I'll do.

Speaker 1 Trey, if you nail it,

Speaker 4 if you nail it, which I fully expect you to, I'll tweet out, did we just become best friends?

Speaker 2 I think so.

Speaker 1 Want to do karate in the garage?

Speaker 1 We'll do some Catalina wine mixtures. It'll be great.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, Trey, thank you so much, man.
We appreciate it. Best of luck on Thursday night.
Everyone, I don't have to, I'll say it. ESPN is going to be broadcasting it.

Speaker 1 Everyone's going to be watching because we have nothing in life.

Speaker 4 Did you want to get one last Disney Plus plug-in? I noticed that you slid that in elegantly earlier.

Speaker 1 Let's do it.

Speaker 2 Listen, I was just reporting what Diana Rossini, your friend,

Speaker 2 what your friend told me on the radio this morning.

Speaker 1 Okay, all right, fine, fine. That works.
All right, well, Trey, thanks so much. Appreciate it, man.

Speaker 2 Guys, you're the best. Always fun to talk to you guys.
We'll talk to you soon.

Speaker 4 Thank you, Trey.

Speaker 1 Good luck.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's get some segments and also clean up Hank's cool throne that he just said love and then just left us high and dry. Stole it from PFT.

Speaker 4 Well, I think it's because we all agree that love is always on the cool throne.

Speaker 1 Love is always on the cool throne.

Speaker 4 Love you guys. I do love you guys.

Speaker 1 I say it all the time. I do.

Speaker 1 All right, what?

Speaker 4 What are you going to do? Little tip: if you put a hair tie thing in there, especially if it's one that's been loose for a while, it kind of looks like you got a magnum.

Speaker 1 Yes, there it is.

Speaker 4 So, a little pro tippy for you. But it is.

Speaker 1 It's like, it's such a flex to be like, hey, ask me if I have three pockets. Oh, yeah, I do.

Speaker 4 But love is on the cool throne because the very first part in my take wedding is happening tonight. That's right, Wednesday tonight.

Speaker 4 Where?

Speaker 4 It's going to be on the Twitch stream, on on the part of my Take Twitch account.

Speaker 4 Two listeners of the show, Drake, a good Drake, and Abby, are getting hitched. So it's funny,

Speaker 4 I think their first date they ever went on or one of their first dates, they were at Wrigley Field back in 2016, and Big Cat saw them.

Speaker 4 And you said to them, you guys are perfect for each other.

Speaker 1 I don't even remember, but that's... I wish I could have bet on that.

Speaker 4 Yeah. And so that was like the start of the relationship.
They hit me up about a week and a half ago to see if I would marry them.

Speaker 4 And then I tweeted out like a few days ago, hey, if anyone wants to get married, I'm bored. I'll marry you on a Zoom meeting.

Speaker 4 And they reached out, and the guy was like, Hey, I already hit you up about this. What gives? Good point.
Great point, dude. So tonight, we're going to have a wedding.
It's going to be at 9 p.m.

Speaker 4 Eastern Time, 8 Central. And it's going to feature Big Cat.
It's going to feature Joey. It's going to feature Hank.
It's going to feature Love. Love.
It's going to feature Matt Caesar.

Speaker 1 Yep. And so we're going to do the whole thing.

Speaker 8 It might be the the first wedding ever conducted on Twitch, too.

Speaker 1 So it's history.

Speaker 4 It's history in the world.

Speaker 1 No F's in the stream while we're doing the vows. No, yes.
Do not do that.

Speaker 4 Their family will be watching. Let's all be positive.

Speaker 1 To it, do it, do it.

Speaker 1 And then Coach Dougs is going to be coaching right after. Yep.
So it's a nice,

Speaker 1 you got

Speaker 1 your entire entertainment ready on Wednesday night. Yes, absolutely.

Speaker 1 All right. Next segment, we have,

Speaker 1 oh, this league. This actually is crazy.
Yannick Ngakwe wants to get traded, so he took it to Twitter. Tony Khan, co-owner of the Jaguars.
Shad Khan's son?

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's Shad Khan's son.

Speaker 1 I think he's co-owner. He's GM?

Speaker 4 Vice President.

Speaker 1 Vice President. He's someone big.
So

Speaker 1 they basically just had it out on Twitter. I'll read it.
Actually, you know what? You read Yannick, and I'll read Tony Khan.

Speaker 4 Do you have it? Owner slash football analytics at the Jaguars. Do you have it?

Speaker 1 Hold on, I'll send it to you. I'll send you it.
Okay. Hank, stall for us, please.
Stall, stall, stall.

Speaker 8 I'm also going to be going after dub number four.

Speaker 1 Okay, don't care. After Coach Dell.

Speaker 1 Okay, I got it. I got it pulled up.
All right, you be Yannick.

Speaker 4 Stop hiding, Moe.

Speaker 1 This is Tony Khan.

Speaker 1 I'm not in hiding, sir. Quick with the sir.
I'm in isolation getting ready for the draft.

Speaker 1 I've been pretty active on social media in isolation, but you wouldn't know that since you unfollowed me again.

Speaker 1 This league. That is big time this league.

Speaker 4 Since you're feeling might today,

Speaker 4 let's both let the world in on the truth. We've been had a discussion that the Chargers game was my last game, yet you try to backdoor the situation without answering any of my camp's calls.

Speaker 4 SMH, you spoiled bra, holding up people for no reason. Clown emoji.

Speaker 1 Just to reiterate, this is star defensive player for the Jaguars tweeting at the G or vice president, co-owner of the Jaguars. You're a clown, and basically like...

Speaker 4 Use the clown emoji, which I I think is worse.

Speaker 1 Airing everything out. Okay.

Speaker 1 He wrote back, Tony Connor back, it's a new regime here, sir.

Speaker 1 Heavy on the sir. I kind of like that style.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the contributions you made here. That said, tweeting insults at me won't get you traded any faster.

Speaker 1 Only good trade compensation will do that. Please redirect your efforts into a more productive outlet.
That's a little

Speaker 1 like that's a you know, like, go stop being triggered, dude. Go do something with your life.

Speaker 4 Yeah, get a life. Yeah, get a life, nerd.
Just trade me. I don't need the speech checkered flag emoji.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 Tony Khan responded.

Speaker 4 It's actually, it's honestly tough to come back from the checkered flag emoji. It's over because he just said that he won.
Yeah. He declared himself end of race.
Yes.

Speaker 1 He said, show me the compensation. I'm sure you're really driving up the price today, by the way.

Speaker 1 And you know what? Kind of a good point by Tony Khan. Like, hey, man, you want to be traded? We want to trade you.
You know what you shouldn't do?

Speaker 1 Is get super aggro on Twitter in front of the whole world so that everyone now is going to call me and be like, hey, man, no chance you can bring this guy back. We'll give you a six-rounder.

Speaker 4 Also, I mean, if you just didn't respond to that tweet, that's probably going to help the value too. All around, this is a mess.
Yes. I feel like there's been a lot of that in Jacksonville recently.

Speaker 1 Poor Doug Marone, he's doing everything he can. He's the only adult in the building.
He is.

Speaker 4 And Leonard Fournette, he's also like outwardly campaigning for Cam Newton to come. And also maybe getting traded now they're trying to trade

Speaker 4 to the Chiefs, is what I saw. That's what already happened.

Speaker 1 Florios to the Chiefs.

Speaker 4 They already got playoff Damien there. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Playoff D, baby. Regular Lenard Fournette.

Speaker 1 All right, let's finish up with our Mount Flushmore. I'm excited about this one.
I think it's going to be funny. It's very open-ended.
And it ended. And Hank can't ruin it.

Speaker 1 The heel of Mount Flushmore season. The greatest.

Speaker 1 I'm giving you credit.

Speaker 1 But you're making up titles.

Speaker 8 Like, I have not told a lie.

Speaker 1 You're a heel. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You said jalapenos are a bad pizza topic. They are.
Here's the thing.

Speaker 4 Well, first of all, Big Cat, no, he didn't say bad pizza top. He just said bad topic.

Speaker 1 Top is.

Speaker 4 Your brain was just focused on pizza the whole time.

Speaker 1 I did gummy bears.

Speaker 4 Here's the thing. What Hank has done is with his appetizer draft, he's reset the conversation.
So now all his other drafts will be viewed in light of that.

Speaker 4 Like, that was such a bad, like a monument to bad drafting.

Speaker 1 I would just like to say

Speaker 8 to everyone out there that's hit me up in private and on DMs that were like, hey, man, I've always felt the same way as you, but I never wanted to publicly, you know, say it.

Speaker 8 Thank you for being the voice of the voiceless. You're welcome.
And don't let these bullies like Big Hat and PFT and all these people online tell you that your taste is trash.

Speaker 1 In a weird way, Hank, you are winning Mount Flushmore season because you are so bad at it. That is the true essence of Mount Flushmore.

Speaker 4 You are on the Mount Flushmore of Mount Rushmores.

Speaker 1 Right. You're doing like, in a meta way, the idea of Mount Flushmore is come up with the worst answers, and you're doing that.

Speaker 8 I just don't pander. Sorry.

Speaker 1 Okay, but you kind of are because you're pandering to like the truth.

Speaker 1 You know, the truth.

Speaker 1 I speak truth to pal.

Speaker 4 You don't even pander to your own brain.

Speaker 8 No, that's exactly. That's the only person I pander to.

Speaker 1 All right, go ahead.

Speaker 4 So, Mount Flushmore of fears.

Speaker 1 It's yeah, so it's the

Speaker 1 stupidest fears we have that everyone knows it shouldn't be a fear, but you have it and you think about it and it's just dumb.

Speaker 4 Okay, this was an easy one for me, first overall. Taking a shower in a thunderstorm.

Speaker 1 Hate doing it.

Speaker 4 Somewhere along the lines, I was told that you'll get electrocuted if you do it. Yep.
I don't think that's true at all.

Speaker 4 I think that there's probably no safer place to be during a thunderstorm or a tornado than your bathroom. Okay.
So don't take my word for that, by the way.

Speaker 4 So I can't be held legally responsible if you get electrocuted. But yeah, that's easy number one for me overall.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's a good one. Mine is similar in the bathroom sense.
I am always afraid

Speaker 1 that I will get robbed or there will be some type of emergency while taking a shit and just like having a robber come into my house with just shit everywhere. What do you do?

Speaker 4 Die. There's no good option.

Speaker 1 There's no

Speaker 1 pants. Imagine like mid-shit and someone comes in is like, give me all your money.

Speaker 1 What do you do?

Speaker 1 It's just,

Speaker 1 I don't even want to think about it. All right, Hank, your first two.

Speaker 8 My first one is being in a viral video of

Speaker 8 like musicians on the subway where they're like, you know, we took a classically trained musician and we had him play on the subway and then it's all just the videos of people walking by.

Speaker 8 So every time I see like a musician on the subway, I'll just stand there for at least like 30 seconds just so like I'm not one of the people in the video where it's like, look at you, dude.

Speaker 8 Like this guy like wrote Beethoven and you just walk right by.

Speaker 1 You just walked by Paul McCartney playing on his piano.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's wearing like some sort of weird mask and he's just playing like that's a good one.

Speaker 8 So I'll just stand there for like 30 seconds and be like, that's good.

Speaker 1 That's good. Don't stop it.
No,

Speaker 1 that's a really good one. All my picks are good pics.

Speaker 1 All my pics are good pics. I've thought about that too.

Speaker 4 You don't want to be the guy that's in the meme where it's like,

Speaker 4 look at our generation, and then it's you walking past like an artist and look at their generation, and it's everyone's storming the beach of Normandy. Yes.

Speaker 8 My second one is getting pants.

Speaker 1 Oh, good one. Good one.
That's an old school.

Speaker 1 There's nothing funny.

Speaker 1 No ass.

Speaker 8 Yeah, no ass, so it's like I feel like I'm a prime target to your pants.

Speaker 4 The wind could pull down your pants.

Speaker 1 Dude, getting pants and having your pants and your meandies go down, all-time funniest things. When just someone's dick is flopping out there.

Speaker 4 A lot of dicks in Game of Thrones, though. No one told me about that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 I just watched the shame episode. Big time, big time.

Speaker 1 Oh, because you texted us a while ago. Like, when did Cersei cut her hair? Yeah, I knew it was coming.
All right. My next one is very irrational, but I spit a lot.
I spit on the street. I dip.

Speaker 1 I'd spit. I'm always afraid, or not always afraid, but I have it in the back of my head that someone will be able to use my spit and frame me for a murder.
I'm just spitting my DNA everywhere.

Speaker 1 Someone's going to basically catch it and be like, we got him now. Boom.

Speaker 1 Also, hair follicles, blood, semen.

Speaker 1 All that.

Speaker 4 Semen's a big one for me.

Speaker 1 Dude, someone's going to frame you at some point.

Speaker 4 Got to be careful.

Speaker 4 You got to stop spitting, stop shaking hands, and stop nutting.

Speaker 1 I'm just, I know that that's stupid, but I'm always afraid that that's going to happen.

Speaker 4 I actually used to think that the government collected all of our shit every time we flushed it. So they always had that all the info.

Speaker 1 Probably do.

Speaker 4 Probably do. Actually, you know what? I'm gonna get back on that.
Now that I said it out loud again,

Speaker 4 I'm convinced. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, what's your next?

Speaker 4 My next one.

Speaker 1 You have two.

Speaker 4 Two. I'm afraid of tripping over an open dishwasher, like in Garden State.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yep.

Speaker 4 That's how the mom dies. Yeah, she dies.
The whole movie is based around a mom falling over a dishwasher and hitting her head.

Speaker 8 I've never seen that movie, so that's a dumb one.

Speaker 1 Great, great movie. Yeah, uh.

Speaker 1 Great soundtrack. Great.

Speaker 1 You don't like the shins?

Speaker 8 I like the shins. Is that like an ironic thing?

Speaker 1 No, I like the shins.

Speaker 8 No, like they had the bass

Speaker 1 shins and where she trips and dies. Backwards.

Speaker 4 Yeah. I don't know, actually.
It's good coffee drinking music.

Speaker 1 I'll put it that way.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but I'm

Speaker 1 always afraid of that. All right, that's a good one.
And then

Speaker 8 it's L1.

Speaker 4 It is a fear.

Speaker 8 Yes.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. Okay.

Speaker 4 My next one. When was the last time you washed dishes, Hank?

Speaker 8 Every night. Actually, I usually do it in the morning.
I pile them up at night, and I'm like, I'm going to do this tomorrow, and then in the morning, it's like, all right.

Speaker 8 Let's dive in these dishes.

Speaker 4 You strike me as a Chinette guy.

Speaker 8 I don't even know what that means.

Speaker 4 It's the thick paper plates that you can do.

Speaker 4 You're actually really classic.

Speaker 8 No, I actually have an amazing dishwasher, which is like the most dad thing ever, but it's my favorite appliance in my house.

Speaker 1 There you go, Hank.

Speaker 8 Loading up my dishwasher gets me pumped.

Speaker 1 Coffee and dishwasher. Yeah.
No, that's you're the coffee guy. No, I know, but together, we're just a team.

Speaker 4 My next one is going to be biting down on aluminum foil.

Speaker 1 Ooh.

Speaker 4 Whenever I have like a Nestle crunch bar or something like that, something that comes wrapped in aluminum foil, I'm convinced that when I'm eating, I can't even look at aluminum foil while I'm chewing something.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a good one. That is a good one.

Speaker 1 All right, my next one, I don't, this one's going to be bad to even say out loud, but if we're doing it, we might as well say it.

Speaker 1 You know how when you see a police officer in line at like a Starbucks or something, and you're like, what would happen if I just grabbed the gun?

Speaker 1 I'm always afraid that someday I'm just gonna grab the gun.

Speaker 1 Not do anything with it, but I'm just gonna grab the gun and be like, Got your gun. It's because it's the impulse effect in your body at some point is like, what's gonna happen? Am I gonna do it?

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's just why kids, we've been told, like, never touch a gun.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it gets my adrenaline going, just never touch a police officer.

Speaker 4 Right. And it's a combination, you see it there.
You've been told all your life not to do something. It almost makes you want to do it more.

Speaker 1 Right. And at some point, you're just going to be like, fuck it, let's just do it.

Speaker 1 And again, I would literally just drop it right away, but just to do it and just be like, I did it, that is a fear of mine.

Speaker 4 There's an old saying that people aren't afraid of heights. They're just afraid that we're going to jump.
Right. Like when you see something like, it's the last thing that you see.

Speaker 4 I'm going, but you are afraid of like these weird impulses.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the impulse, like, oh, I'm jumping. All right.
That's a good one. Thanks, Hank.

Speaker 8 My next one will be Getting Crushed by an Elevator Door. Yep.
I don't trust those things at all.

Speaker 1 Elevators in general.

Speaker 4 Yeah, my great-grandfather died in an elevator.

Speaker 1 Really? Oh, Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 Fell on his head.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. Was he an elevator operator?

Speaker 1 I don't know how he got in there. It's one of those things, though.

Speaker 1 I hope so.

Speaker 8 People go into elevator door holdings with no fear. Yeah.
Like, it'll be closing, and they'll just stick their arm right in there. It's true.
Assuming that it's going to open.

Speaker 8 And if it doesn't, like, your arm is off.

Speaker 1 Your arm crunches. I never, that actually, like, Hank is 100% this guy because you do do the like really quick.
Like, you get really scared. I've seen you do it.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Where you get super scared about an elevator door. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I just man it up. Yeah.
Like, I treat it as an alpha situation. Like, it's mono-y mono here, door.

Speaker 4 You ever live in an apartment building where you know you've got a heavy elevator door? Yeah. That's tough.
I'm in one of those right now. And humans put a lot of faith into those weird little sensors

Speaker 1 that you assume every elevator has. Yes.
Yes.

Speaker 4 When did those begin? When was like the first time that they installed those? And then how long after that did it take humans to be like, oh, I can open any door just by putting my pinky in there?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it is. We've gotten a little bit cavalier with it.

Speaker 1 All right, your last pick, Hank. This has been a good Mount Flushmore, everyone.

Speaker 8 All Mount Flushmores are good. I mean, that's not a fear.

Speaker 8 A fear of losing. Should be.

Speaker 8 Getting kicked by a subway dancer.

Speaker 1 That's a good one, too.

Speaker 1 That viral video, the kid.

Speaker 8 Well, and I don't, I don't.

Speaker 8 I used to live in Brooklyn and I lived in between, like, the stop from Manhattan, in between Brooklyn, where like subway dancers will basically ride because it's like a long like Manhattan to Brooklyn there's like a long 10 minute ride where they'll yes get on and then get off and go the other way oh you're so it was like I was always every single day I would see the dancers and every day I would be like these guys are really like firm sitting here and I'm just like I'm not gonna move and then like they get so close where it's like

Speaker 8 Why wouldn't I get kicked out? Of course I'm gonna be the guy in the viral video. Like I'm just gonna be minding my business to get smoked.

Speaker 1 For people who don't know like the New York City subway dancers, they basically are a combo of like a gymnast and a stripper. They do like the whole thing and then they do the fucking high beam.

Speaker 1 And they're just going back and forth, like whipping around, going upside down, all kinds of shit.

Speaker 8 It doesn't matter if it's crowded either.

Speaker 1 Like, they don't, there's no, there's no, no, they got to get their dancing. Yeah, there's no space.

Speaker 4 It's those guys and the hat guys. Yeah.
You can get really good at dancing with a hat.

Speaker 1 Mm-hmm. They're one in the same.
Yes. All right, my last pick is a little confusing, but it's something that I do think about fairly often.

Speaker 1 I'm afraid that this entire world, like us sitting here right now, is an entire is just an imagination of like one huge species that's just like sitting on a spaceship, the matrix floating away.

Speaker 1 Yeah, pretty much. I'm pretty much every now and then, I'm like, we're definitely in the matrix, and none of this is real.

Speaker 4 None of it. I mean, that's pretty, I'd say the last year has been very strong evidence, right?

Speaker 1 But that's a scare, that's a scary thing to think about. Like, we just wake up and we're like, oh, we're not real.

Speaker 4 That would suck. Sucks so bad.
Don't have to pay your bookie.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Maybe I do.
Maybe the Matrix, maybe in the Matrix realm, it's all bookies.

Speaker 4 Maybe the creator is just a bookie?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 And he just made the world

Speaker 1 so that everybody would be in debt form. Yeah, and rents due every month.

Speaker 4 If JJ Watt knocked on your door.

Speaker 1 Alright, your last one, PFT.

Speaker 4 My last one is...

Speaker 1 I'm...

Speaker 4 This is going to sound really stupid, too, but getting my fingernail caught on a piece of foam.

Speaker 1 What do you mean?

Speaker 4 Like, if you drag your fingernail across the box.

Speaker 1 Oh, like a chalkboard?

Speaker 4 No, like a piece of foam. Like, if it's a foam ball or if it's like the fuzzy part of Velcro.

Speaker 1 Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 And you drag your finger across it, maybe you have an uneven nail, and you get your fingernail caught on that for just a second. Just thinking about that, I don't know.

Speaker 4 It makes me, it like shrivels me up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That sound, that feeling, Hank, you want to grade it?

Speaker 1 F.

Speaker 1 Why is that an F?

Speaker 4 It's a stupid fear.

Speaker 1 It is a stupid fear. There you go.
Very stupid fear.

Speaker 4 Hank spheres have been too good, to be stupid.

Speaker 1 Do we have any others? Any others?

Speaker 4 Driving with a car light on?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I have.

Speaker 1 Planes. Oh, planes.
I have the jetway collapsing as soon as you step off. Like, it just fucking falling.
I always think that's going to happen.

Speaker 1 Did you guys ever hear the urban legend that there's black widow spiders and grapes?

Speaker 8 No, I did have that on my list. Spiders crawling in my mouth when I sleep.

Speaker 1 Yep, that one's a big one.

Speaker 1 I don't don't have a basement, but if I did have a basement, I 100% would be this is more like a real fear than like an irrational fear of ghosts catching you as you go up the stairs and the lights are off.

Speaker 1 Like just ghosts in basements, you know?

Speaker 4 Yeah, I mean, spiders are real big in basements too.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but ghosts more than anything. Quicksand.
Quicksand has been glorified, and I'm just afraid of it. Like, who's to say the sand I'm stepping on isn't quicksand?

Speaker 4 That's another thing where people have cartoon brain. Right.
They're taught to hate quicksand and anchovies.

Speaker 1 Yep. Let's see.
What else did I have?

Speaker 1 That was it. Did you guys have any others?

Speaker 4 Overtime playoff hockey.

Speaker 1 That one's good.

Speaker 4 Even when I love it, I hate it.

Speaker 1 Yep. Yep.
That one's good. That one's good.
Anything else, Hank?

Speaker 8 You had a great list.

Speaker 4 I always do. It was almost too good, though, because these are supposed to be really bad fears.
I think Hank did a great job. I actually, I would say that Hank won this Mount Question.
Awesome.

Speaker 4 Thanks, guys.

Speaker 4 There you go.

Speaker 1 You're welcome.

Speaker 1 Let's see. We'll see everyone Friday night.

Speaker 1 Friday morning. Thursday night, Friday morning.
