Speaker 1 On today's part in my take, we have a two-fer for the people. Chris Jericho is on the show.
He handed it to us. He was a great interview and also gave us some tips on how to be better at our job.

Speaker 1 Very nice guy, but also very, very intimidating. We also have, speaking of the intimidator, his son Dale Earnhardt Jr.
on the show.

Speaker 1 Dale Earnhardt Jr. has an entire old western town that's abandoned on his property.
It's pretty crazy. He tells the whole story about it and much, much more.

Speaker 1 Mount Rushmore of movies that you have to finish if you see them on TV, Fire Fest of the Week, and of course, because it's Friday, our license to Jill with Jilli football at the end.

Speaker 1 Before we do all of that, pardon me.

Speaker 4 I'm not going back to college to be your friend.

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

Speaker 4 I'm there for $0 delivery fee on cheeseburgers, up to 10% off smoothies, and 6% Uber credits back on rides.

Speaker 1 Just to be clear, I'm there for savings, not whatever you think college is for.

Speaker 5 Get Uber One for students, a membership to save on Uber and Uber Eats. With deals this good, everyone wants to be a student.
Join for just $4.99 a month. Savings may vary.

Speaker 5 Eligibility and member terms apply.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's go.

Speaker 1 No paper, hang out, or washing.

Speaker 1 And then a candid name all on the sun. Oh no, we're gonna rock it down to Elite Trick Avenue.

Speaker 1 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 1 Oh, we gotta rise down to Elan Trick Avenue.

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take presented by the Cash App. Go download it right now.
Put in code Barstool. You get $5 to yourself, $5 to ASPCA.
You gotta do it. Today is Friday, June 28th.

Speaker 1 And PFT, I have a question for you.

Speaker 1 What do you need? What do you need when you have a team with two ball-dominant players that hate everyone and are bad teammates?

Speaker 6 You need a third ball-dominant player that's more ball-dominant than the other two and make everybody hate everybody.

Speaker 1 Yes, that is what the Houston Rockets are going for. Jimmy Butler to the Houston Rockets needs to happen.

Speaker 1 I don't even understand why this is a thing, but I'm all for it because I want to see if Chris Paul, James Harden, and Jimmy Butler can all in one single game dribble out the shot clock in different possessions.

Speaker 6 I think they can. I think they can absolutely do it.
And Jimmy Butler is the kind of guy that he would really light a spark in that team.

Speaker 6 So say what you want about Jimmy Butler, but you will never accuse him of being fake nice to teammates and building up all this little under the surface, all the passive-aggressive stuff.

Speaker 6 That's never going to happen with Jay Butt because old Jay Butt's going to come in like a stick of dynamite, not like a needle under your skin.

Speaker 6 So if you look at what the Houston Rockets, what they've done the last five, six years, they've just had like death by a thousand passive aggressive note paper cuts that are left behind to each other.

Speaker 6 Jimmy Butler gets in and he just blows everything up. I think that's way more entertaining and frankly more healthy.

Speaker 1 And on top of all of that, I love that Daryl Maury sees the writing on the wall. They have a new owner who is probably very impatient.
He's a restaurateur

Speaker 1 who I'm sure has fired many people in his past. Those guys don't seem like the most patient guys in the world.
He also came in after Chris Paul was signed.

Speaker 1 So he's like, I don't want to pay this guy who's however old he is $40 million plus for the next three years. So he's looking at Daryl Maury and he says, I need some answers.

Speaker 1 And Daryl Murray says, I'm probably going to get fired or quit in the next year or two.

Speaker 1 So I might as well just say, fuck it, go all in, add a piece that doesn't really make sense, but might make sense. Get my big three because it's all about the big threes and see if it works.

Speaker 1 And what's the worst that can happen for Daryl Mori? He quits or he gets fired and he gets another job instantly because he's one of the best GMs in basketball. So I like this.

Speaker 1 It's almost like he's playing with house money at this point. And Jimmy Butler J-butt is the ultimate house money move.

Speaker 6 I like that. And I especially like the idea of Daryl Murray getting fired and having no other options except to go to the Wizards.
So that's what I'm really going to hope for. I'm sure that'll happen.

Speaker 6 But yeah, you're right. I think, especially if you look at what restaurateurs are like, you know, we know one very well, John Taffer.
And John Taffer is not a spreadsheet guy.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 6 He's a, I'm going to look you in the eyes kind of guy.

Speaker 6 The only Excel I need, the only cells I need are the ones that are in your pupils so that I can stare at them and figure out if you're a man or not.

Speaker 6 So I agree that this guy is probably not going to be married with Daryl Maury for very long.

Speaker 6 And there's really only one solution to the problem, and that's get Chris Paul to the Lakers.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he also did the classic

Speaker 1 move that when an owner holds a press conference after a game, that is just a huge sign that that owner is going to fire everyone soon because Jerry Jones does it.

Speaker 1 Whenever you see an owner get in front of you, when you get that owner in the tunnel doing an interview, an impromptu interview, that usually means the guy's not super patient.

Speaker 1 So I'm excited for that. We also have Anthony Davis saying no thanks to $4 million

Speaker 1 so that the Lakers can get all the free agents. They also just made a trade to clear more cap So it looks like Rob Palinka's little mistake has been corrected.

Speaker 1 I think they have 32 million, 32 million in cap space now. So again, Hank, I told you this the minute that Clay Thompson tore his ACL, you told me to chill.
The Lakers are going to win the title.

Speaker 1 Chill. Okay.
All right. I'll chill.
I'll keep chilling. I will stay here, keep chilling.
But this is the point. You sound pretty calm.
I'm totally calm.

Speaker 1 This is a point of the offseason where football, there's no news. We're waiting for MLB All-Star break.

Speaker 1 Basically, all we can talk about is the NBA free agency, which is coming up on Sunday, which we will have a big show for. I'm also looking right now.

Speaker 1 PMT Sports Biz Jake is showing me a tweet that says, Yahoo sources, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James gifting new teammate Anthony Davis his number 23 jersey for the upcoming season. Wow.

Speaker 7 What a beta move.

Speaker 1 This is the lake they're going to sell so many.

Speaker 1 He should take Kobe's eight or Kobe's 24 or both.

Speaker 1 Home and away.

Speaker 6 that would be nice or 248 that works put it up to triple digits I think that means that this

Speaker 6 double on his shirt it's Anthony Davis' team though that's true he's the alpha I think it does if we're talking Batman and Robin uh the the Batman definitely wears number 23 this is also I'm pretty sure it's a salary cap violation because you're usually supposed to pay money uh to the veteran player to get his jersey am i right wait he did he paid the most amount of money possible he paid four million dollars he said anthony davis make sure that you don't take take this free $4 million and I will give you number 23.

Speaker 1 Because Anthony Davis basically did that with his contract today.

Speaker 1 So it is now when the question comes up, who has paid the most, it's not, you know, some random like, oh, yeah, Carson Palmer once paid,

Speaker 1 I don't know, Charlie Whitehurst.

Speaker 1 These are made-up names because they were played together. You know, $10,000 in a Chevy truck.
No, it is LeBron James paid Anthony Davis $4 million

Speaker 1 so that Anthony Davis would basically he gets number 23 and he walks away from the $4 million so they have cap space.

Speaker 6 Interesting. Very, very interesting.
Now, I got to be honest with you, big cat.

Speaker 1 Wait, does that work in my head?

Speaker 1 Am I doing that incorrectly? Anthony Davis walked. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
$4 million. Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 6 I'm not a numbers guy per se, and I know that you're a little bit worried about this whole Lakers situation, even though, well, you're so not worried that you're worried at this point.

Speaker 6 I am really looking forward to the Lakers becoming a championship team next year just to watch Kobe Bryant's reaction to LeBron James winning titles as a Laker. And then we get the whole conversation.

Speaker 6 If the Lakers win two, then it's like, well, who's the greatest Laker of this century?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Is it Kobe Bryant or is it LeBron James? And I'm very much looking forward to Kobe Bryant trying to handle that with dignity and class.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and then Shaq will chime in, and Charles Barkey will make fun of him, and then Shaq will get his feelings hurt, and it will be great TV there, too.

Speaker 6 And then Rick Fox will just say, well, it's Robert Ore.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's Robert Ore.

Speaker 1 The other news we had, Hank, Kemble Walker to the Celtics, looks almost like a foregone conclusion.

Speaker 7 But this is this league we're talking about. This is this league.

Speaker 8 Sunday, Sunday will be exciting, though.

Speaker 3 I'm happy that, although I will say that it's like, it does sound better that when it starts on July 1st, it just makes more sense.

Speaker 3 Like everything happening June 30th just sounds kind of weird, but I'm much happier that's happening on Sunday than Monday.

Speaker 7 Like Sunday will be exciting.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Sunday will be exciting, and I do love every team gets put in this spot.

Speaker 1 Every team who actually is trying to get free agents and competing, their fans get put in this spot where they have to do the mental gymnastics on ranking players that they previously ranked differently.

Speaker 1 So like Kevin Walker is now all of a sudden better than Kyrie Irving. Oh, yeah.
D'Angelo Russell, wow, he's amazing. The Lakers definitely want him back.
All Lakers fans saying, yeah, he's the best.

Speaker 1 We need him. He just needed a change of scenery.
So those mental gymnastics, I always love watching. And I do it myself all the time.

Speaker 1 You have to do it as a fan to try to talk yourself into a new signing.

Speaker 6 Oh, definitely. And it's real big when you start to talk about, well, when that guy came out in the draft, I actually had him higher

Speaker 6 as a senior come out of college. So, like, when Kimbo was just getting drafted by the Hornets, I actually thought that he should have gone higher than he did.

Speaker 6 I was higher on him than everybody else that I knew. So, you can talk yourself into anybody.
I've heard through sources related to my dog

Speaker 6 two things. I had two scoops scoops about Kimba that haven't been previously reported, but Leroy gave me the go-ahead.

Speaker 6 I heard that Charlotte is not offering him a max. I think that's been reported.
He feels disrespected. He feels disrespected by that.

Speaker 6 So I got this DM last night, so I don't know if it's been reported yet.

Speaker 1 That's the basis of this. But that's the entire reason why Kimba Walker is going to go to the Celtics.
You're a part of the new plot. Hey, wait.

Speaker 1 Wait, no.

Speaker 6 Okay, so I'm setting that up because I got a plot twist.

Speaker 6 New scoop that came in. He's using this as a bargaining chip for Charlotte.
He wants to stay in Charlotte. He just wants to get a little bit more money, so he's letting all this leak out there.

Speaker 1 Okay, so that's just common sense.

Speaker 6 I'm hearing that Kimba Walker is both considering

Speaker 6 that going to the Celtics. I'm hearing officially per source is that he is considering the Celtics as well as the Hornets for his two next destinations.

Speaker 6 And a lot of his decision has to do with who's going to pay him more money.

Speaker 1 Okay, so that's breaking news right there.

Speaker 1 Anything else for the NBA? I mean,

Speaker 1 Sunday's going to be awesome. By the way,

Speaker 3 what number do you think LeBron will wear?

Speaker 1 I don't know. I have no idea.
I mean, it would be funny if he tried to go either 24.

Speaker 1 LeBron would probably do like a 99 or something. Ew.
Just, yeah, something weird like that. Oh, yeah, six.
He wore six with Team USA, so that would make sense.

Speaker 7 And the Heat, yeah. Yeah, and the Heat.

Speaker 1 Six as heat. Oh, yeah.
So he'll probably do six. He'll do six.
So

Speaker 1 that's not even a big change for him because he was six with the Heat. You're right, Hank.
So this was Anthony Davis paying $4 million

Speaker 1 for the number 23. Dude, you didn't have to pay that money.
LeBron probably would have done it anyway.

Speaker 3 He got that Space Jam money, too, though.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's got the $10 million from Space Jam reportedly that I just made up right now.

Speaker 6 I could also see him rocking number three, just like Father of Three, just making sure that everybody knew that he's doing this year for the kids. World of Wade.

Speaker 1 He steals his number. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 But then he makes it, but then he spin zones it into like a tribute to his favorite teammate of all time, right? But just really making it about himself taking over the number three.

Speaker 1 That would be great because then Dwayne Wade's retirement tour would actually go another year, so we need that as well.

Speaker 6 Yeah, um, and then you need to pass it along every year. Somebody wears the three jersey that's taking an extended uh trip around the country getting weird gifts.

Speaker 1 Okay, so Sunday night, we have uh the NBA free agency Bonanza. We also have a future Hall of Famer on the show.

Speaker 1 This guest will surprise you. Hall of Fame interview.
Hall of Fame interviews, future Hall of Famer. Yep.
Debatable.

Speaker 1 People like to debate whether he's going to be a Hall of Famer, but he definitely will be a Hall of Famer. So think about that for a second.

Speaker 8 He was a subject, and years past at free agency, he was a big time subject.

Speaker 1 Big subject, yeah. Big time subject, maybe subject with the Lakers.
Who knows?

Speaker 1 You can watch that interview on barstoolgold.com slash PMT. BarstoolGold.com slash PMT.
You can watch all of our shows, all of our interviews if you sign up today.

Speaker 1 Let's do our Mount Rushmore, and then we'll get to Firefest. PFT, you had a question.

Speaker 6 I do have a question. Is this guest that is going to be joining us for the NBA show, is he the richest guest in the history of Part of My Take?

Speaker 1 No, we had Michael Rubin on.

Speaker 3 And Scott Boris.

Speaker 1 And Scott Boris.

Speaker 6 You think Scott Boris has more money than him?

Speaker 1 Maybe not, but Michael Rubin is worth more. Yeah, Michael Rubin definitely does.
Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 6 Second richest guest in the history of part of my take, I think. Okay.

Speaker 1 Maybe Blake Griffin. It's up there.
Blake Griffin.

Speaker 6 I did the math.

Speaker 1 Oh, you did? Okay.

Speaker 6 Blake Griffin also has to spend to maintain that lavish lifestyle

Speaker 1 dating cars. Oh, yeah.
We had A-Rod on, so A-Rod definitely has more money.

Speaker 1 What did you say about Blake Griffin?

Speaker 6 My point was proven

Speaker 1 completely

Speaker 1 irrelevant. He's up there, though.
Yeah, he's up there. He's up there.
He's got, listen, he's made a lot of money. Let's just leave it at that.
Firefest of the week.

Speaker 1 No, let's do Mount Rushmore first, and then we'll do Fire Fest. So the Mount Rushmore of movies that, when you see them on TV, you have to finish them.

Speaker 6 Who's up first?

Speaker 1 I think it's Hank. Yeah, Hank.
Wait, no, I think it's me.

Speaker 7 No, it's me. No, it's Hank.

Speaker 6 And then me second, and then Big Cat.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Really? But I went first.

Speaker 1 Are you sure? I went first last time.

Speaker 3 Right, which means you went through the first time.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 1 was it time before I went first? You know what we've done?

Speaker 6 Somehow we've created a new snake draft out of a snake draft.

Speaker 1 That's the order right there, Jake?

Speaker 1 Last week's order.

Speaker 8 Hank, big cat, PFT.

Speaker 1 No, so I shouldn't be third. So you should be first.
I should be first. I thought that.
I should be first.

Speaker 3 No, it goes the other way. It goes Hank, then Big Cat second, then PFT third.

Speaker 1 So I'm second? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That might be.

Speaker 6 I think I'm drunk trying to find a balance.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is terrible. I don't.

Speaker 3 Fuck. I'm 95% sure I'm first.

Speaker 1 What was the order we did it in?

Speaker 1 When Hank went first, did PFT go second?

Speaker 1 Clockwise.

Speaker 6 I think I went first

Speaker 1 time. We're sitting in opposite seats.

Speaker 6 You know what we should do? I should get to go first twice in a row because I was the last person to go first, just like a snake draft.

Speaker 1 Wait, so you went first last time on last show or no? Yeah. I'm pretty sure I did, yeah.
All right, so then it should, yeah, then it's, then it makes sense. Hank, me, PFT.
Yep.

Speaker 1 That's what it should go. That's how it goes because we're moving clockwise around the room.
Yep. Yes, that makes sense.

Speaker 3 All right. My number one, obviously the biggest criteria.
I'm not even going to get into it.

Speaker 1 No, do it. Get into it.

Speaker 8 Well, no, I mean, you kind of said it. It's like, you got to, there's a lot, like, a lot of movies are hard when it goes to commercial to stay on.

Speaker 3 It has to really catch you in. And the good ones, even though you've seen them a million times, you have to be committed to just watching commercials.

Speaker 1 My number one. What's your pick, Hank?

Speaker 1 I don't know. Catch me if you can.
Whoa.

Speaker 1 Leo and Tom Hanks. That's good.
Great movie. Always, always catches me.
Like, it's just, it's just a great movie. Okay, that's a good pick.

Speaker 1 I am happy because you didn't take my number one overall that I had written ahead of everything, and that is Goodfellas. If Goodfellas is on, I watch it all the way through, no matter what.

Speaker 1 I've never not sat there and watched every scene from Goodfellas.

Speaker 6 You know what's weird about that, though, is I've seen it so many times on TV. I always tune in when he's looking up at the helicopter,

Speaker 1 like following him around.

Speaker 6 I always just start there.

Speaker 1 Yep, and you always finish it. You always finish where he's just coming out of his house

Speaker 1 as a regular schnook eating ketchup, egg noodles, and ketchup in the middle of Nebraska. Good fellas.
All right, Peter.

Speaker 6 Arizona.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you have two.

Speaker 6 Okay, for my first two, I'm going to go with Conair. Okay.
Number one. Just action-packed from end to end.
Star-studded

Speaker 8 cages.

Speaker 1 Star-studded, yep.

Speaker 6 Alabama accent. I'm Cameron Poe, and I'm here to land this plane because my wife, she had babies.
That is just a wonderful movie. John Malkovich Performance of a Lifetime.

Speaker 6 The guy from Forest Gump, Bubba from Forest Gump, is in another movie. So it's always fun to see him doing something else.
Love Conair. My second pick is going to be

Speaker 1 Training Day. Ooh, okay.

Speaker 6 Come on, Jake.

Speaker 1 Okay. Jake, you like to get wet.
I'm happy because that means my number two overall pick is still there. I think you would have taken this, Hank, in your next round.
Step Brothers.

Speaker 1 Step Brothers is so rewatchable. You know what's crazy? When I first saw Step Brothers, I didn't think it was that good.

Speaker 1 But now, if you see it on TV, every scene, every in-between commercial breaks holds up on its own, and you have to watch the whole thing. So, Step Brothers is my number two pick.

Speaker 3 Yep, that's a good one. I actually didn't have that one down.
I had a different comedy. But my number two pick, Happy Gilmore.

Speaker 1 Ooh, okay.

Speaker 3 Even though that's like, I probably know that that movie the most, like the whole, the entire movie by heart. You can repeat the lines, but they still, they're still funny.

Speaker 3 And then my number three, I will go with National Treasure, Nick Cage.

Speaker 1 Okay, good. So Nick Cage is getting.

Speaker 6 It's actually a documentary. Because all that shit's real.

Speaker 1 Nick Cage is getting a lot of re-watchables and the movies that you have to watch all the way through. And I'll go with Nick Cage as well for number three, The Rock.
Yep. I mean, come on.

Speaker 1 You have to watch the whole thing when The Rock is on. And that's an old classic.

Speaker 1 PFT, you have two more to finish out your Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 6 I want to mix this one up a little bit.

Speaker 6 Kind of a comedy situation. I know you guys picked Stepbrother.
That was a very Trey Wingo decision on your part, Big Cat. I don't think that.

Speaker 1 Trey's not a Stepbrothers guy. He's more Anchor Man wedding crashers.

Speaker 1 Stepbrothers, yeah, it's too

Speaker 1 rated on him. Yeah, Stepbrothers is too edgy for him.

Speaker 6 He's not a Stepbrothers guy per se, but he's a big, do you want to do karate in the garage guy?

Speaker 1 Okay, yeah. He'll say that one over and over again.
Okay.

Speaker 6 So for my third one, I'm going to go Pitch Perfect.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 6 Real classic.

Speaker 6 Mix in some music, some songs.

Speaker 6 Not that Pitch Perfect 2 bullshit. Just the number one, the Uno.
And then my last movie that I will always watch at the end when I see it come on is Heather Brook Swimsuit and Husband's Study.

Speaker 6 Circa 2002.

Speaker 9 What?

Speaker 1 Is that a porn? Heather Brook.

Speaker 1 Swimsuit top.

Speaker 6 You did a porn. You did your

Speaker 1 fourth pick, the PS.

Speaker 6 2002.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I got it.

Speaker 6 The wild card, I call it.

Speaker 1 You're throwing it because you don't want to ever give 100% effort and lose.

Speaker 6 No, it's a wild card.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.
My fourth pick. I mean, am I wrong?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's not on TV, but okay.

Speaker 6 It's never on TV. Somebody doesn't have Chromecast.

Speaker 1 It's not on TV, but okay. All right.
My fourth pick here.

Speaker 1 This is going to be tough. I got a few.
All right. I'm going to go.
There's a lot that got left off the list, but I'm going to go with a classic point break.

Speaker 1 Anytime point breaks on, I got to watch it. Got to watch it all the way through.
And it also feels like Keanu's got to be on here somewhere.

Speaker 7 Utah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Utah gave me two. Gary Busey.
All right.

Speaker 6 Anthony Keatis, surprisingly good actor.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 Hank, your last pick, and then we'll do some honorable mentions.

Speaker 3 My last pick, there are a lot we left off the list, but I will go with the hometown classic, The Departed.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's a good one. Any mugs got a light.
That one's a good one. Okay.

Speaker 6 Not to give away the ending, but the zoom in on the rat at the end. The rat symbolizes a rat.

Speaker 1 Nice. That's true.
Pizza rat.

Speaker 6 A lot of people don't pick up on that nuance.

Speaker 1 It's the first viral rat. Okay, ones we missed.
There's a lot that we missed. Princess Bride I threw out there.

Speaker 1 I think that one would date me, but if I watch that, it's on all the time, and I'll watch it all the way through.

Speaker 1 Here's one I saw the other day that I found myself watching all the way through that I think holds up because it's just interesting and it's always kind of appropriate to our time. Social network.

Speaker 1 I watched the social network all the way through the other day, and I was like enthralled the whole time. What else do you guys have? I have a few more, but go ahead.
I'll throw it around.

Speaker 6 Social network's going to be one that's going to age even better, I think. Right.
The more that we learn about Mark Zuckerberg,

Speaker 6 I want to see how this weirdo got started. I had John Wick on there.
Okay. I had Forrest Gump, another Tom Hanks movie.
Yep.

Speaker 6 The only problem with Forrest Gump is you know that you're going to cry at the end. Yeah.
That is the one movie that I will always cry in.

Speaker 6 And so if you sit down even at the start of it, you're basically making a plan to cry in three hours. So that's kind of tough, but it's still a great movie.
And then I had Shaw Shank.

Speaker 8 Yeah, that's like the classic one.

Speaker 1 But it's also really long.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so is Forrest Gump.

Speaker 1 Forrest Gump, though, the reason why Forrest Gump works on TV is that they can always pick the right spot to transition into a new chapter of his life to keep you

Speaker 1 involved in it. You know what I mean? They always find that perfect commercial break.

Speaker 1 Unusual suspects, speed,

Speaker 1 Roadhouse, throwing out a few more.

Speaker 6 Wait, do you mean usual suspects?

Speaker 1 Usual suspects. Unusual suspects is a different one.
That's the porno that you watch.

Speaker 1 Speed. That's good.
Roadhouse, Big Lebowski. Any of these?

Speaker 6 Any of these hitting?

Speaker 3 I had Bubba Game,

Speaker 3 Tommy Boyne, Super Bad are good ones. Tommy Boyne.
Armageddon.

Speaker 1 Oh, Armageddon's a great one.

Speaker 3 My number one that probably number five that didn't make the list would be, remember the Titans.

Speaker 1 That's a good one, too.

Speaker 1 One of my oddball ones that I threw on there, Legally Blonde.

Speaker 1 You don't like Legally Blonde? Nah. I think that's a good movie, and it's re-watchable as fuck.

Speaker 6 Because you just, I mean, it's not bad, yeah.

Speaker 1 It's a very, very good movie, and it's appropriate to anyone who's doubted in life and wants to make it and everyone says oh you're just looks like they always say oh big cat you're all all you do all you are is just a piece of meat you're just a bunch of looks like no i can make something out of myself so yeah that's why i like it there you go yeah and stiffler's mom is in it

Speaker 1 american pie oh american pie yeah shit american pie hangover too hangover one hangover one's big time rewatchable die hard with a vengeance you want to talk about movies that have these like little perfect times that you can cut to break and come back and something new is happening?

Speaker 6 Yep, it's like you go, you go to commercial and you come back, and he's got a different bomb he's trying to figure out how to diffuse.

Speaker 3 This isn't really a movie, but this is one that I always will just go through the commercials: is like the National Geographic, like the national parks shows, yes, where they always go to break with like this baby lamb is going to the creek, but little does he know there's trouble on the way.

Speaker 1 Like, they have great cliffhangers, you're like, All right, I gotta, I gotta see what happens in springtime.

Speaker 1 These animals come out of uh hibernation, and then they show the bear slowly coming out to just wreck shit on everyone. All those salmons, fuck you, salmon.
You're about to get eaten.

Speaker 6 Actually, I love it when the bears right before they hibernate, when they're at their fattest and they can barely even walk for a while. The unit bears, those are great.

Speaker 6 We should do at some point a Mount Rushmore of shows, TV shows that we like to watch when we're high with nothing else to do. That's awesome.
Because the planet Earth has got to be right up there.

Speaker 1 Planet Earth is definitely up there. All right, so we probably left a bunch off.
If you have ones, throw them out there.

Speaker 1 Tweet us your most re-watchable movies on TV that you have to watch all the way through.

Speaker 1 Really good because I feel like at some point in the next 20 years, we're going to lose this, right? Like cable will be gone and everyone will just have everything on demand.

Speaker 1 You won't have this, oh, I always turn on the TV and, yeah, like I always hit

Speaker 1 AMC and see Godfather 2 on, and I watched the whole way through. I was going to put Godfathers on there, but they are very long.

Speaker 1 So it is always, that's like a three, and with the commercial breaks, it's like three and a half hour investment.

Speaker 6 Yeah, cord cutters are actually ruining this entire segment that we're doing.

Speaker 1 Yeah, okay, let's do our fire fest of the week, then we'll get to our interviews with Chris Jericho and Dale Earnhardt Jr. PFT, why don't you go first?

Speaker 6 My fire fest of the week was not being invited to Blake Griffin's booty party.

Speaker 6 So, I don't know if you saw this headline.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6 This is actually for all of us. It's a headline for all of us.
So, this is going to double as a let's read a headline. It is: Blake Griffin and Chandler Parsons booty boat twerk party on a Biza yacht.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 6 the article came chock full of pictures. Basically, it was seven women on a yacht with Blake and Chandler Parsons just shaking their butts.
Yes. And we were nowhere to be found.

Speaker 1 So I saw the pictures, obviously. It looked like a great time.

Speaker 1 I just thought the whole time, man, I'd look really awkward up there with the t-shirt on because there's no way I'd take my t-shirt off around Blake Griffin.

Speaker 3 Also, did not see a phone in his hand.

Speaker 1 Yeah, true. I don't know if this is the time to really be ripping it up, Blake.
Blake the year is coming up and he's got no phone. Oh, sorry, I was on.

Speaker 1 It's one thing if your excuse is you're playing for Team USA and defending our country's honor. It's another if you're twerking with Chandler Parsons in the south of France or wherever Ibiza is.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I actually, I think that that's probably more patriotic than playing for your country in the Olympics. It's just having a girl with a big butt just shake it nearby.
That's as USA as it gets.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but you got to do it.

Speaker 6 We really made big butts. It's us in Brazil that made big butts.

Speaker 1 Cool. Yeah, but you got to do it in like Lake Tahoe or something or, you know, out, you know, Miami, somewhere in America.
You can't give it to me.

Speaker 6 South Padre Island.

Speaker 1 You can't give Ibiza all these big butts. They got more than enough to...
They don't need a surplus of big butts.

Speaker 6 Yeah, no, that's a good point. Blake, just how about you keep it in America? Go to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Yeah. That's basically the Ibiza of the Midwest.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Okay, so,

Speaker 1 Hank, you got a Firefest?

Speaker 7 Yeah, my Firefest in general is this segment.

Speaker 3 Like, it's kind of hard. You know, I consider myself very lucky.
I enjoy my job a lot, so it's kind of hard.

Speaker 3 It's hard coming up with, like, you know, Firefest was a very traumatic event for a lot of people, and that just doesn't happen with me a lot.

Speaker 3 But since I had to find one, I will go with the fact that we have interviewed Julian Edelman, one of my, like, people I like the most in this world, and twice now, and I forgot to take a picture with him two times.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's tough. That is tough.
That's tough, really tough, Hank. Although, do you really want to take a picture with Julian Edelman and put yourself up against him? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because the picture he took where he thirst trapped, PFT and I have never looked worse. It's true.
And we actually looked fine.

Speaker 1 We looked fine, but we've never looked worse.

Speaker 6 I looked at myself and I was like, you kind of look like a troll with lupus there, PFT. Right.
Like one of those little troll dolls.

Speaker 6 But it was once I covered up Julian Edelman's face, I was like, that's an average picture for me. Nothing to write home about, but nothing bad.

Speaker 6 And then I looked at you and I was like, oh, God, big cat.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 6 Maybe I hit the kettle a little little bit. But then I covered up Julian's face and I was like, this is a great picture of Danny.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was a decent picture of me. And then I looked at it with Julian there and I had this stupid smile on my face like, hey, hey, bro, act like you've been around a hot dude before.
Chill out.

Speaker 1 Like, basically, coming in my pants while I'm standing next to Julian Edelman. It was embarrassing for all of us.
So, yeah, Hank, you avoided that bigger fire fest. All right, I have two fire fests.

Speaker 1 First is

Speaker 1 Ew Darvish signed a six-year, $126 million contract. He's been on the Cubs for a year and a half, and he has zero wins at Wrigley.
I know he was injured all last year, but zero.

Speaker 1 And I'm supposed to be nice to him.

Speaker 1 He's sensitive. Be nice to you.
Be nice to you.

Speaker 1 It's getting very hard. Let me just say, it's getting very hard to be nice to you.
My other Firefest, we lost a legend, Beth Chapman. She passed yesterday.

Speaker 1 We talk about celebrity deaths all the time. This one really took the wind out of me.

Speaker 1 I feel like just yesterday I was watching Beth scream at someone that was zip-tie, handcuffed in the back of a minivan telling them to get their life together go with Christ brah Beth is now with Christ and I'm sure Christ is taking care of her but either way we lost a legend I loved Beth she was the one who always just kind of she was basically dog's dog she would run behind dog and scream at people and she had her own leather gloves and she would uh you know she had baby lisa who she she helped bring along and made her a bounty hunter so my thoughts and prayers go out to to the whole dog family.

Speaker 1 We lost a good one with Beth Chapman.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I mean, when you think about it, Jesus is a bounty hunter for souls, right? True. He sees some things going down on earth.
He's got to come down and collect. Payments pass due.

Speaker 6 So she's in a better place.

Speaker 6 I kind of had the wind taking me out of me, too, when I was reading that news because I didn't realize that dog was five foot seven.

Speaker 1 Really?

Speaker 1 I kind of actually,

Speaker 1 yeah, maybe I did know that.

Speaker 6 I think, so when I grow my hair, when my hair gets very long, I look shorter. When dog grows his hair, I think you have to reach a point where it's like past your waist, almost down to your knees.

Speaker 6 I guess it makes you look a little bit taller at some point. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I don't know how long the appropriate, I don't know what the appropriate amount of time is that dog will be grieving, but let's just say whenever that lapses, talk about an eligible bachelor.

Speaker 6 Come on, it's on.

Speaker 1 It's on.

Speaker 6 It is on.

Speaker 6 Dog dick pics getting leaked within probably six weeks.

Speaker 1 Yeah. All you ladies out there, your pussy hasn't been paying bail bonds, so he's coming for you.
That sounds really aggressive, but dog's pretty hot.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 6 I have one last fire fest, and that's just Miami in general. Yes.
So I'm down here in Miami. I'm covering the DNC debates.
Check out. I'm posting columns.
I interviewed Tom Perez, the head of the DNC.

Speaker 6 I'm interviewing some candidates today. There will be some more content coming up from that.

Speaker 6 But it is about 90 degrees outside and it's 90% humidity. Same as we experienced back in,

Speaker 6 was it 2007 for the All-Star game? Yep.

Speaker 6 It sucks walking outside in Miami. Within like a half a block, you're drenched in sweat.

Speaker 6 I packed a lot of white t-shirts like an idiot, so I've got three-quarters of my nipples sticking out everywhere. You can see everything.
It feels awful.

Speaker 6 It feels awful walking down the street, and the whole town is just people trying to pretend that they're not hot.

Speaker 6 It is, it's terrible. So as much as I like Florida and I I like hot weather, this is too much for me.
I feel like I'm drowning here.

Speaker 1 It's suffocating. It's suffocating heat in Miami in the summer.

Speaker 11 Okay, before we get to our interview with Chris Jericho, all protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One-made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 11 Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 11 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 11 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 1 Okay, here he is, Chris Jericho.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome welcome on the man of many talents. He's a wrestler.
He's a musician. He's an author.
He's an actor. It's Chris Jericho.
Let's start there. Did you like overachieve much, dude?

Speaker 10 Well, I'll tell you what, anytime that I start thinking I'm overachieving, I get in a van like this and it brings you right back down

Speaker 1 the line. You realize

Speaker 10 I realize things aren't so great after all.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you're not Nay Lester.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I would never like, you know, Tom Cruise would not be sitting in here.

Speaker 6 He would fit, though. Exactly.

Speaker 1 I wish I was Tom Cruise. I'd be a lot more comfortable right now.

Speaker 6 I I noticed that Big Cat Left Out podcaster.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 That's what I said.

Speaker 1 Yeah, man.

Speaker 10 That was kind of a Freudian.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was a good one.

Speaker 1 He did that on purpose. Exactly.
I did do that on purpose. Right.
That's fine.

Speaker 6 What? I was going to say, out of all these things that you've done, what's the most fulfilling?

Speaker 10 That's a pretty generic question. You're going to ask me that in the back of a van like this.

Speaker 1 Give me some pomp and circumstance of a question.

Speaker 6 Okay, have you ever worked yourself into a shoot? And also, what does that mean?

Speaker 1 I'm not really too sure.

Speaker 10 You know more about the wrestling vernacular than I have. You know, it's funny to me when you have,

Speaker 10 I don't know, 10,000 interviews that you do, and people go, so tell me, what's your motivations?

Speaker 1 What are your persistence?

Speaker 10 Like, man, like, how about, say, like, what's your favorite type of pudding?

Speaker 1 Oh, let's go. Tapioca.

Speaker 1 I was talking about

Speaker 1 tapioca bros, friends.

Speaker 10 I was just talking about.

Speaker 10 And did you, is that the proper pronunciation?

Speaker 1 Tapioca. What do you say?

Speaker 10 Taffioca.

Speaker 1 Tapioca.

Speaker 1 But I'm from Canada. Yeah, right.

Speaker 10 So tapioca is how we pronounce it with this with the soft P. Yeah.

Speaker 10 You have to take a fist.

Speaker 1 Is there such a thing as a soft P?

Speaker 10 I had to get a new puppy the other day, and

Speaker 1 he took a fist

Speaker 10 all over the fad wagon.

Speaker 6 Also, a pistachio is pretty good.

Speaker 10 Okay, let's go back to tapioca. So I was talking about...

Speaker 1 Okay, very nice.

Speaker 10 So I was talking about

Speaker 1 tapioca

Speaker 1 just earlier today. Really?

Speaker 10 How often do you get a chance to talk about

Speaker 1 a tapioca pudding?

Speaker 1 I can't keep saying tapioca. And literally,

Speaker 1 literally, it was like 20 minutes ago. That's a Canadian thing where everyone just says the wrong thing and they're like, oh, no, that's what it is.
No, that is not what the word is.

Speaker 1 Well, what's the word? Tapioca.

Speaker 1 It's got a P in it.

Speaker 10 I would like

Speaker 10 a lifeline. If this was Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Yeah.
I would call that Lifeline right now.

Speaker 1 Okay. Do you say futine or poutine?

Speaker 1 See, there's a thing. Okay.
Yeah. Hold on a second.
That's just eating gross shit. No, no, I know.
No, I'm not. I stay in a poutine.
Hold on a second. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 10 The generic categorization of saying, you're Canadian, you must like poutine. Let me tell you this.

Speaker 1 Hockey. I left Canadian.
That's fine. That's all good.

Speaker 10 But I left Canada in 1997. Can I talk?

Speaker 1 Yeah, got it. And I had never heard of poutine.

Speaker 10 What? Now suddenly everybody's Mr.

Speaker 1 Poutine, Mrs. Poutine, this, that, and the other thing.

Speaker 10 Poutine is not the national food of Canada.

Speaker 1 I have never had poutine before.

Speaker 10 Okay, nor have I had foutine. They call me Rick Poutino.

Speaker 6 I just cream myself whenever I see it.

Speaker 1 15 seconds. Wow.

Speaker 10 Keep cream in the poutine. Yeah, hello.

Speaker 1 That's what the sauce is.

Speaker 1 So I was going to ask you the question about the famous time when a kid went up to you outside of Madison Square Garden and asked for an autograph and you didn't give it to him because you were being a heel.

Speaker 1 And then I was going to be like, but why are you being nice to us? But you are being nice to us. Give me enough roll.
I'm still being a heel.

Speaker 1 So this is what you're doing. You're just a heel all the time.
Well, no, not really a heel all the time.

Speaker 10 It's just, like I said, when you're sitting back here, a scrunch between two pieces of man-meat like yourself, it's a little different vibe.

Speaker 1 Thank you.

Speaker 10 You know what I mean?

Speaker 10 But it wasn't an autograph. It was.

Speaker 10 So when you work in Madison Square Garden,

Speaker 1 the Mecca, you have to park across the street.

Speaker 10 Okay, I remember the first time I worked at the garden, I pulled up at the back door, and the guy is looking at me like I'm insane.

Speaker 10 He's like, Yeah, I'm like, I'm Chris Jericho, I'm resting here tonight. He's like,

Speaker 10 I said, Well, can I park? And he's like, Mick Jagger doesn't even fucking park at me, go across the street.

Speaker 10 So, all the fans know that you have to park across the street, so there'll be like hundreds of people waiting for you to get out of your car and take the elevator up.

Speaker 10 My thing is, when you're when you're a bad guy, a heel,

Speaker 10 you,

Speaker 10 of course, obviously just a character you play, but when you're on site at the arena, you have to play the character.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 10 You have to, because if you don't, if you're nice to everybody, and then an hour later, when you're in the ring and trying to get people to boo you, people are like, oh, I'm not going to boo.

Speaker 10 He's really, actually, really nice.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he signed my t-shirt. Exactly.

Speaker 10 So I got on the elevator, and this kid and his father got on the elevator too. And we're about eight floors down because that's so far down the parking garage is or parkade if you're Canadian.

Speaker 1 Okay. Or Farcade

Speaker 10 along at home as we were saying today. So I got on the thing and I hit you know hit the elevator hit floor one and it's eight and it's seven.
The guy's like, hey, my son's a big fan.

Speaker 10 Can you sign something for him? And I just kept staring. I remember just like eight, seven, six.
Hey, hey, hey, can you sign

Speaker 10 for my kid here? And I'm like, well, you're not going to acknowledge me? Now we're like five.

Speaker 1 Four is like, who do you think you are, huh? Three, two, well, you think your shit don't stink? You're not going to sign for my kid? Huh?

Speaker 10 I'm like, if we don't get to one pretty soon, this guy's going to physically assault me.

Speaker 10 We we got to one I left and all I heard was I was hey Jericho go fuck this yes but therefore later on in the night when I'm the bad guy and people are booing me he's gonna be even more vociferous with his booing and he's gonna tell yeah this guy's a real son of a bitch he wouldn't slide for my kid he wouldn't boo boo boo that's the commitment that you should play when you're doing this kind of live theater that we do is there a little part of you that's like man i really don't feel good about being addicted

Speaker 10 and i don't know if i could do that now at the time it was where i was at Like, I really was dropping into things, you know, like the acting classes and just really getting into it.

Speaker 10 But I think, you know, like I said, I think at that point in time, you can do that.

Speaker 10 When you get older and you have kids and you kind of feel differently, you know, you play the part maybe a little bit differently than you would at that point in time.

Speaker 1 Did Vince love that? I mean, he must have loved that.

Speaker 10 He did. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of different things.
There was another time when I was in the O2 arena in London, and they had these glow sticks for DX.

Speaker 10 They were like these rebels, and they had suck it. Yeah, suck it.
And they had like glow sticks, like you would have at a rave, and people would make X's out of them. And they were two for 10 pounds.

Speaker 10 Two for 10 pounds, mate. Or 10 pounds, if you're playing that at home.
And

Speaker 10 somehow someone threw one at me in the ring. And I actually just watched the video the day.

Speaker 10 I'm talking some shit about England and blah, blah, blah, blah, and England sucks, and you got bad teeth, or whatever.

Speaker 10 I said, and right in the middle of it, I get whacked right in the eye with one of these things. And when you see the video, it comes like,

Speaker 10 and I was so mad. I was like, you know, I'd like to to see the son of a bitch that threw that.
You want to throw something at me?

Speaker 1 Throw something at me.

Speaker 10 And it's like an avalanche, a snowstorm of these glow stars.

Speaker 1 Oh, fuck, like a fish concert. A fish concert, exactly.

Speaker 10 And I'm like hitting them away with my hands like a Jedi. And me one thing, these things cost like 10 pounds each.
And they're throwing like 50 of them. And they didn't know what to do.

Speaker 10 They just started John Cena's music to stop them. But that's, once again, like when things go a little bit too far over the line.
But if you're a good heel,

Speaker 10 someone like Vince would appreciate that.

Speaker 1 Whereas the rest of the company was really mad at me, but he was was like you know this is just part of getting this is awesome yeah those are the moments that people remember when you exactly get booed to the point where everyone's like actually angry at you well that's the thing some some guy's got his jalopy

Speaker 10 um but it was like you know um i i think when you when you have a show like we said it's like a live morality play which is what wrestling is like a shakespearean morality play if you want to get philosophical about it you have to have a good bad guy every good good guy needs a good bad guy and it gets harder and harder to play bad guy now because it's a lot easier to get people to hate you than it is to get them to like you oh good point but once they start hating you that's when they start really liking you yeah you know if you think of all the best characters from darth vader to hannibal lecter to the joker every time you first see them the terminator you're super scared of them and then by the sequel they're always good guys right right because they're so interesting right and that's the secret of wrestling how do you get to that line of making people hate you but having them to continue to hate you?

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 6 So you're saying it's easier to turn face than it is to turn heel.

Speaker 10 No, I'm not saying that.

Speaker 10 Well, I'm saying when you first appear on the scene, it's a lot easier to be abrasive and be kind of a dick so people will hate you.

Speaker 10 But then if you have a good enough character, they'll always like you. So I wouldn't say it's easy to turn face, but it's a lot easier for people to dislike you from the start.

Speaker 1 So when you started, you were Jack Action. Well, that's the worst thing.
That's the worst name ever. Well, it is the worst name.
Did you come up with that? Well, I did, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's very Canadian.

Speaker 10 It's It's from a Wasp. Jack Action.

Speaker 1 It's from a WASP album. Okay.

Speaker 10 This band WASP had a sign called Jack Action.

Speaker 1 Looking for, looking for Jack Action. And I thought, well, that's really cool.

Speaker 10 So before my first match, I was writing Jack Action

Speaker 10 with an N that would turn into a star, like Paul Stanley's design.

Speaker 1 Yeah, gee, even lamer. Yeah, on

Speaker 1 like this, like, I don't know, binder that I had. Like, he has a binder.
Trapper keeper?

Speaker 10 Trapper keeper. And the guy that I was training with,

Speaker 10 he looked at me. He's like, what is that? Jack Action.
Is that going to be your name? And I'm like, he goes, That's the worst name I've ever heard.

Speaker 1 I'm like, it's not going to be my name. Jack Action is a stupid name.
You idiot. Yeah, of course.
Of course,

Speaker 1 whatever. Canadian James Bond.
Yeah, well, that's the thing. That's my pancake blended with plenty of syrup, not stirred.

Speaker 1 Jack Action, I like overtime hockey. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 10 It also sounds like some kind of a masturbation machine or something.

Speaker 1 That also from Marco.

Speaker 1 Jack Action, available at the Velvet Rope. Pull your dick in here.

Speaker 1 Yeah, available at the Velvet Rope in Century City.

Speaker 10 So I just decided that that wasn't going to work. And there happened to be a cassette tape of this German power metal band called Halloween.
And they had an album called The Walls of Jericho.

Speaker 10 And I thought, well, Jack Ashton's out the window. So how about Chris? Jericho, it's genius, I say.

Speaker 1 And here we are almost 30 years later. Love it.
It's fascinating. Love it.
Thank you. I don't know if fascinating is the word.
No, no, it's fascinating. Are you doing the heel thing again? No, I just.

Speaker 10 Oh, okay. I was being humble.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 That was nice shot. That was really interesting.

Speaker 6 It is interesting. Like,

Speaker 6 you got the name. You got your first two names from two separate heavy metal bands.
Yeah.

Speaker 10 Yeah. Well, that kind kind of shows where my head is at.

Speaker 6 Yeah, you're a big metal guy.

Speaker 1 I always grow up as a musician?

Speaker 10 I always relate everything to rock and roll. Yeah, I mean, I've been playing in bands since I was 13.

Speaker 10 And when I was a kid, pretty early on, I decided that I wanted to be in a rock band and I wanted to be a wrestler. And didn't worry when people went, you're crazy.
You'll never do those things.

Speaker 10 I never saw any reason why you couldn't do those things. And here we are once again.
I felt just,

Speaker 10 I don't really know why people are so concerned about what I wanted to do. I just focused on it myself and made it happen.
And it kind of worked out.

Speaker 1 Are you a sports fan other than hockey?

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 that's a no. Okay.

Speaker 10 So, I mean, I'm trying to think of any other sport. I mean, I like some NFL stuff.
Okay. That football stuff's kind of fun.

Speaker 1 So, when teams or players get in the zone, it usually happens in basketball when you can't miss. Were you in the zone the night that you beat Stone Cold and The Rock?

Speaker 10 No. I mean, that's just show business, right?

Speaker 1 Fuck. Yeah, no.

Speaker 10 I'm probably much more. No,

Speaker 10 I'm not no-anding you. I understand the concept of an interview.
I'm getting to the point here.

Speaker 1 Okay, all right.

Speaker 10 I think when that took place, so you almost missed out on this whole brilliant story I'm about to tell you.

Speaker 1 All right, let's go. As you're reaching for your ball.
Well, that's because my producer just gave me a look.

Speaker 10 Oh, what's the look mean?

Speaker 1 We've got to wrap it up. No, no, no, no.
He actually wrote, did Ned Stark steal your haircut or is it the other way around? Oh, very funny, producer.

Speaker 1 That was

Speaker 1 a note I got. Did you steal Horshack's look or did he steal?

Speaker 1 Hell, damn. All right, let's do the story.
I'm sorry. I apologize.

Speaker 1 What was the question? The Rock and Stone, the night you beat The Rock and Stone. No, I mean,

Speaker 10 that was fine.

Speaker 10 It was fun. I mean, it's great.
Obviously, it's a great honor, but I don't know if I was really ready for that at the time.

Speaker 10 So it was cool, but I always look back on it and going, like, oh, is this the pinnacle of your career? It's really not to me.

Speaker 10 There's been other ones like having the match with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania, which was the best match on the show.

Speaker 10 The match I had at the Tokyo Dome last year against Kenny Omega, which was voted match of the year to do that in the Tokyo Dome for the first time ever working there.

Speaker 10 The match we're going to have this Saturday

Speaker 10 for the first all-elite wrestling show, Double or Nothing versus Kenny Omega for the rematch.

Speaker 10 I think it's something that's very important because it's the first show in AEW's history with the biggest match that we have that's got tons of

Speaker 10 people are very excited about it. So that's going to be a very important in-the-zone type of match.
Right.

Speaker 10 So I think sometimes people think certain moments of your career are better than what you think. To me, it's not up to me.

Speaker 10 It's whatever the people like the best and whatever they think was the most monumental. But if you ask me, yes, of course, it's

Speaker 10 a great thing to be able to brag about that you beat The Rock and Steve Austin Samuel. I've been bragging about it for years on the show.

Speaker 10 But when you really go back to it,

Speaker 10 I thought it was a seven out of a 10

Speaker 1 performance. Okay.

Speaker 10 And at the time, it was probably the best I can do, but here I am 18 years later, and I know I could be much better.

Speaker 1 So what would you have done differently that night?

Speaker 6 You can't say that.

Speaker 10 It's just the way

Speaker 10 that you were thinking at the time compared to now. There's nothing I would do differently.
It's just when I watch it, I go, that's a seven out of 10.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 You live and you learn.

Speaker 1 We can look back on everything.

Speaker 10 And that's the same as anything else. I'm sure, you know, you guys watch an interview that you did two years ago and go, we're so much better now.

Speaker 10 Just because we have experience in a different mindset.

Speaker 6 I wish I could have pissed my pants the first time when we had Mark Schlerth on the podcast. Mark Schlairith? Yeah, so he used to piss himself in every football game.

Speaker 10 See, I don't even know these guys.

Speaker 6 And I tried to piss myself, and I couldn't do it.

Speaker 6 I was dehydrated from the night before.

Speaker 1 I actually had peed my pants.

Speaker 6 I had peed my pants the night before.

Speaker 10 By the way, I got the power.

Speaker 1 I'm much more of a professional. Exactly.

Speaker 6 But then I did it later, but it's like I look back on that one performance.

Speaker 1 I did it that second time. You know what?

Speaker 6 That was a seven out of ten piss. Two for two.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you want to piss yourself?

Speaker 10 I have a long day ahead of me, so the answer is no.

Speaker 1 Dr. Phil's going to be right there in a second.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Does that make it easier or harder?

Speaker 10 Much easier.

Speaker 6 To piss yourself? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think that breeze wake comes up. Yeah, you let it just go right through.
That's actually

Speaker 10 when you're wearing skinny jeans, socks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, skinny shirts. Me, nice shirt.
I'm wearing everything.

Speaker 10 You know, I got to go to Kevin Smith's house later. I can't show up wearing.

Speaker 1 Oh, nice prat. That's homie.
Yeah, we've had him on the show. We already went to the house.
Did you see the business pants? No, but we didn't. We don't know.
No, he already went to his house.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. I went to his place before you did.
Yeah, exactly. We warmed it up for you, dude.

Speaker 6 Okay, that's cool. I was actually there three years ago.

Speaker 1 Oh, fuck.

Speaker 6 I was there four years ago.

Speaker 1 Are you doing the heel thing again? No, why do you keep saying that? I don't know. I can't tell the whole time.
Oh, yeah, I have. I'm the only nice person.

Speaker 1 I've had a comment that I've had in my brain the whole time. Can I just get it out of there?

Speaker 10 Please, please get that lonely thought out of there, please.

Speaker 1 I was going to say that's a really nice bandana. My dog has the same one.
That's not bad. Yeah, that's pretty good, right? It's pretty cool.
Yeah, it is really cool.

Speaker 10 I got this guy used to wear scarfs all the time, and I was watching a Van Halen video the other day from a live performance from 1980. He's like, you know, no one wears bandanas.

Speaker 10 I'm going to start wearing them. Wait and see how many people start wearing bandanas.
Is that because of me?

Speaker 1 My dog. Yeah, well, for humans and

Speaker 1 animals. Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 Cats might even start. Yeah, why not?

Speaker 10 I do like the collar outside of the cat.

Speaker 1 It's getting a little messy. I knew I opened myself up.

Speaker 1 No one is going to be wearing a Aloha collar. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's actually a very Canadian move. Well, I'm feeling a little fat.
It's actually a fancy mover. You're feeling a little bit Midwestern.

Speaker 1 Yeah, see, all right, so this is, yeah, I knew I opened myself up. I probably shouldn't have done that, but it was just stuck in my brain.
It's fine. It's fine.

Speaker 10 I mean, I'm very confident in my fashion abilities.

Speaker 6 You see a good cop, bad cop. I think you look great.

Speaker 1 Here's a quote from Colin Coward.

Speaker 6 I want you to respond to this quote. Our friend, Colin Coward, great guy, really super individual.

Speaker 1 Colin Coward? Yeah. That's a coward.
Cow turd. I thought it was cowherd.
Yeah, that's her. Cow turd.
But is it pronounced coward? I call him cowherd. Is English your second language?

Speaker 1 Well, Canadian is my first.

Speaker 1 What are you talking about, man? Colin Yellowbelly.

Speaker 6 And he says,

Speaker 6 wrestling fans are pathetic, lonely, booger eaters.

Speaker 10 Aw. Well, I think Colin Coward fans are pathetic, lonely, booger eaters.

Speaker 1 Perfect. Fam.
Yeah, there you go. Hell yeah.
There's your headline. Hell yeah.

Speaker 10 When people say stuff like that,

Speaker 10 like, I'm going to get mad about it.

Speaker 10 Who gives a shit if you want to pick your nose and eat it? Go for it, man.

Speaker 1 I don't care. Yeah.
Everyone's done it once. I've definitely done it before.
At least.

Speaker 10 Almost more than once.

Speaker 6 At least. We actually don't like them.

Speaker 1 So your podcast game. I don't like them either.
Yeah, we don't like them. How do you like the podcast game?

Speaker 1 Once again, that's a pretty open-ended game. Go with it,

Speaker 1 whatever direction you want. Here's another way to ask that.

Speaker 10 So you have a podcast.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Tell us about it.
Talk about the podcast. Worst thing ever.
Okay, so I'll define it a little bit better.

Speaker 1 You started obviously, you know, coming up in wrestling, a lot of different places, Mexico, all over the place, trying to build yourself up to a point where you can be like this big star.

Speaker 1 Now you have the ability to control your own media in a situation like the podcast.

Speaker 1 Okay. Yeah.
That was interesting. That's pretty good, right? You can go directly to the podcast.
I would have went this way.

Speaker 10 You got a podcast talk is Jericho. It's really great.
I really enjoy it.

Speaker 6 Who's your favorite guest?

Speaker 1 Who's your favorite guest? That could have been a good one. Well, I'm just trying to plug the podcast.
We're going to cut most of it. I appreciate that.

Speaker 10 Well, we're going to cut most of of this yeah right all of it um yeah especially on my social media it's gonna be me and you guys be photoshopped out who's your favorite guest it's hard you know it's funny because I think the best guests are the ones where you just have a conversation right like those like to me that's why I love doing podcasts because I know what it's like to have somebody that sits down with

Speaker 10 taking a piss but with a list of questions and they're so concerned about what the next question is they're not listening to the answers oh i haven't read any of these questions i haven't i couldn't read them either from scratch

Speaker 10 you wrote down Chris.

Speaker 1 That's right. Yeah, Chris.
That's your name.

Speaker 10 But I think if you're going to have a conversation with somebody, like if we just met up at a bar, like, what's up, dude? And then you just start talking. Yeah.

Speaker 10 And that's kind of what I think the brilliance of a podcast is, but it's not easy to do that. Sometimes you have to interject yourself if someone's going off the rails.

Speaker 10 Sometimes, like when I had Mike Tyson on, I think he thought that it was a yes and no question and answer session because that's all he said.

Speaker 10 And after a while, you're just like, all right, I'm just going to start talking. You can listen to me, Iron Mike.

Speaker 10 But I think when you can really learn how to do that and then get a great guest on top, like, for example, like William Shatner, what a great guest.

Speaker 10 Like, because he'll listen to what you're saying, but then also, okay, so I see that you have nice sunglasses.

Speaker 1 Where did you get those sunglasses?

Speaker 10 What do you think the benefit of sunglasses are? And you're like, then you're talking about sunglasses with William Shatner. Like, those type of guests are always a lot of fun.

Speaker 10 I think Vanilla Ice I had on, he was a blast.

Speaker 10 I mean, not that those are the two best, but just popping through Chris Tucker,

Speaker 10 Hulk Hogan, Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Lars Ulrich from Metallica.

Speaker 10 Anybody that has a personality that knows how to carry a conversation is fine.

Speaker 6 So when you have those guys like the dudes from Kiss are Lars, are you starstruck a little bit because you grew up as a fan?

Speaker 10 No, because I know them now. I mean, when I first met them, I was, but this is pre-podcast times.

Speaker 10 You know, like when I met, I had Tony Ione on from Black Sabbath, who's possibly the greatest heavy metal riff writer of all time.

Speaker 10 I'm not going to freak out when he comes in, but it's pretty cool, but I got a job to do. You know, I can't be a mark.
You remember that time when you were in Black Sabbath? That was awesome.

Speaker 10 Like, once again, that's just going to kill the interview. So you just got to be cool and run with it and go with it.
You know, one of the big goals is Paul McCartney.

Speaker 10 What if I could get Paul McCartney? He's done a few podcasts. Chris Hardwick has had him.

Speaker 1 He has? Yeah. Yeah.
Sir Paul. Sir Paul.

Speaker 10 So what would you say to Paul that he'd never

Speaker 10 been asked before?

Speaker 1 And that's what you just have to go off. I've never sported the most than the Beatles.

Speaker 10 I mean, you might get that.

Speaker 1 You just got to kind of read the situation.

Speaker 10 I'm sure if you got him in the right zone, you could ask him that

Speaker 10 if it came up that way. How much did you hate Yoko?

Speaker 1 Are you dead?

Speaker 1 Are you dead, Paul? Well, yes, I am. I'm the one.
And I get the scoop. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then everyone knows.

Speaker 10 But I also love, I do a lot of paranormal shows talking to ghost hunters.

Speaker 1 Whoa, that's all right. Let's do that.
Let's do that.

Speaker 10 I believe the possibility of all those things because I think if you didn't at least entertain the possibility, it'd be a pretty boring world that we live in.

Speaker 10 But when you talk to somebody like, once I had a flat earth society guy on.

Speaker 10 Now, I don't really believe it, but when you're finished talking to this guy for an hour, you walk out of the going, he's got some good points.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he makes sense. Exactly.
I'm going to look at these YouTube links. There aren't any flights from New York to Hong Kong or whatever.
No, there are.

Speaker 1 There's none

Speaker 1 from Australia to Chile.

Speaker 10 It gives you some food for thought and perspective. And to me, when you have a great guest on that's committed to what he's saying, it always makes for a great show.

Speaker 6 No matter what the topic is. I agree.

Speaker 1 There's always a lot of fun.

Speaker 6 We're going to have a flat earther on our show.

Speaker 6 But then the problem with if you have a flat earther on, you like look into that person's background and the other stuff they believe, and they believe just some wildlife.

Speaker 10 But that's what I mean. You just don't let them go astray.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right.

Speaker 10 We're talking just about the flat earth society and the flat earth concept. And when you're done, I mean, you, like I said, you'll be going, this is a great hour of

Speaker 10 audio.

Speaker 10 Whether you believe it, whether you think it's total hogwash, or whether you think there's some chances to some merit to what he's saying, it makes for a really entertaining subway ride if you're going on from I agree.

Speaker 1 So, have you ever been touched by a ghost?

Speaker 10 I haven't been touched by a ghost as far as I know.

Speaker 10 Actually, to be honest with you, I just did a show for the travel channel

Speaker 10 where we went looking for kind of

Speaker 10 mysterious creatures in the New Orleans swamps. Part of it was based around Voodoo, which is based around a burial ground where there was some real strange shit going on with spirits.

Speaker 10 And one of the guys,

Speaker 10 this ghost hunting crew, who I can tell, you know, when you've been in show, these guys are not liars. They're pretty legit and they're pure-hearted people.
And there's an EKG thing or something.

Speaker 10 You hit the thing, and then if it hits green, there's spiritual activity going on.

Speaker 10 The ghostometer. And that thing, when you pointed it right here on my arm, right there, was like green.
You point away, nothing. Green.
And I'm like, there's no button on this.

Speaker 10 There's no metal on here.

Speaker 10 And for whatever reason, something had attached itself to it.

Speaker 1 It's holding on to you. Yeah.

Speaker 10 It's holding on to me. And

Speaker 10 not only that,

Speaker 10 I felt weird. Like, I felt like I'd just been on a roller coaster and my insides have been kind of shaken up and a little bit nauseous.
You got touched by something. Something was going on.

Speaker 10 And what we were doing is I had a machete because we were cutting through the

Speaker 1 swamp.

Speaker 10 And I put the machete in the ground to start talking and talking to these guys. And that's when all the weird stuff started happening.
When I took the machete out,

Speaker 1 it stopped.

Speaker 6 You got connected to the earth.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you got to go. You got stabbed there.
Stabbed their earth.

Speaker 10 Maybe stabbed them. I don't know.
And like I said, dude, I've seen and done it all. I wouldn't be spinning this yarn if I wasn't telling you that it really happened.

Speaker 1 I believe you. I believe

Speaker 1 I really felt, I felt it. Yes.

Speaker 6 Especially in Louisiana.

Speaker 1 In the swamps. And we're looking for trouble.

Speaker 6 There is something about Louisiana where you just step into the state's badges and you're like, this is unusual. Right.

Speaker 1 But usually in a great way.

Speaker 10 And this, you know, this made for a great TV, but we were there looking for trouble and we found some.

Speaker 10 Now we did a cleansing after that's a whole new, a whole different thing of of the voodoo thing and so because when you tell some people that they go did you get a cleansing because you know you could have like a damn you could still have it

Speaker 1 on you then you're the strength

Speaker 1 go back to the jacks at jack action jack action yeah that's what it is but i mean i think so so i have had a few of those type experiences but mostly just enjoy hearing about them yeah that had i tried to buy a ghost once really on craigslist yeah yeah it didn't work out they they got cold feet because i asked too many questions they said you asked too many questions i'm not selling you my ghost it was in a little shoebox.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. They were going to ship it to me.
Really? Yeah.

Speaker 10 Kind of like a ghost buster's put them in the little box.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're just going to send it to me. It would have been fucking badass.
What are they asking for? Like 200 bucks. That's pretty.

Speaker 6 No, that's a fair ask.

Speaker 10 Do they have a proof of the certificate? Like a proof of.

Speaker 1 No, I just believed them, kind of like you're saying. Like, you can kind of, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I like to believe people who are eccentric, people who have different stories. And when they like really feel invested in it and tell it to you, you can feel the authenticity.

Speaker 10 I've got a ghost in a box. Do you? I can sell it to you $150.

Speaker 1 Deal. Done.
Right now. Where? It's outside.

Speaker 6 We would actually buy that ghost from you right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you, yeah,

Speaker 1 you saw a sucker in my eyes.

Speaker 1 I saw a shoebox in the trash. I was going to grab it, kill over, give it to you.
Oh, man. That would have been bad karma for you, though.
You can't do that. Yeah.
To sell a fake ghost?

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's bad. That real ghost would have got you.
You got a ghost, yeah. Yeah, right.

Speaker 6 You would have been the money that you got from agreed.

Speaker 1 Agreed.

Speaker 1 Have you ever sneezed around Vince McMahon?

Speaker 10 He hates sneezing

Speaker 10 because it's a lack of control.

Speaker 1 You can't control it.

Speaker 10 He also doesn't like whiskers.

Speaker 1 What? He doesn't like whiskers. Like cats whiskers? He doesn't like human.

Speaker 10 He would seriously, like,

Speaker 10 deep down inside, like, not like any of our beards. Right.

Speaker 10 Does not like

Speaker 10 people that when they get sick, when they get a cold, that's not allowed either.

Speaker 10 Yeah, a very interesting guy for sure.

Speaker 1 What was your relationship? Really good.

Speaker 10 Yeah, it was really good. Like,

Speaker 10 really got some good perspective, good respect for each other. And that's why when I left in 2016, 17 to go on tour with Fozzie, and then I started working for New Japan.

Speaker 10 I did like four matches with him last year, but I told him about it. And then when the AEW thing came out, the new company that I'm working for now,

Speaker 10 I told him, I think he thought maybe I was bluffing at first. But then when I actually signed there and went there, he was like, are you kidding? I mean, you actually went?

Speaker 10 I'm like, well, I told you I was. You know, I gave you the chance to talk.

Speaker 10 so, yeah, I don't know what our relationship is now. I've got nothing against him.
But, you know, now I'm working on the other side of the battle lines. Yeah.

Speaker 6 He seems like a guy that it takes a while to earn his respect. He does respect.

Speaker 1 Of course it does.

Speaker 10 I mean, how many people have worked for him over the years?

Speaker 6 Right.

Speaker 10 Hundreds, thousands. So to get Vince's respect, you got to earn it.
But once you get it, you've got it.

Speaker 6 Does he like test you?

Speaker 1 At first to make sure that you're afraid of that.

Speaker 10 I was there for almost 10 years before I think I lived up to the potential that he thought that I had. So there's a lot of testing.
There's

Speaker 10 a lot of military type covert operations going on. But that's kind of the way the business is run there.
But like I said, once you can get that respect, then you've got it for life.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Interesting.
I mean, he's a fascinating guy because he obviously doesn't let a lot of his private out there, but he's like run such a successful business for so long.

Speaker 1 And the stories you hear, people can't sneeze around him.

Speaker 10 Like all these stories are like this this mythological guy and he basically is right you know what i mean like i say like there's only one other guy that i can think of as like him as lauren michaels from the creative side live who's created this kind of iconic uh lifelong pop culture phenomenon that's based on talent constantly coming and going right and sometimes you get a real hot one and then they go down and then it's kind of a rough season and then they get somebody else that comes up but the one constant is the vision of vince and the vision of lauren michaels And neither one of them can be swayed in what they believe is right or wrong, who they believe can be a top, top guy.

Speaker 1 We struggle with that at Barstool.

Speaker 1 Like, that's kind of the riddle that Barstool's been trying to find out for the history of the company: is how to bring in new talent, always be like, you know, not recycling new talent, but like figuring out new stars and all that stuff because you want the brand to live longer.

Speaker 10 The brand is bigger than any one star, but if you get one of those stars that becomes super huge and popular, then how do you, you know, how do you replace a will farrell or

Speaker 10 you know all these people that that have come and gone over the years uh and then they'll be oh this season sucks there's no big stars but then someone will pop through and suddenly sign lives will hit again same with wwe you know well there's no big stars right now well there's a couple guys in the works and maybe somebody strikes big and then suddenly you got a hot a hot commodity yeah um so i i think that's something that that those two guys can be compared like nobody else can.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I also think there's an element of a victim of your own success where like for WWE, a perfect example is everyone, at least my age group, thinks of the attitude era.

Speaker 1 They're like late 90s, early 2000s, that was when wrestling was wrestling. They'll never get the attitude era back.

Speaker 1 Just like Barstool, a lot of our fans would be like, I miss when it was just five guys, not 150 people.

Speaker 10 But I mean, once again, that's how that's how things, you know,

Speaker 1 evolve, right?

Speaker 10 Like you can never go back to like, well, I liked the NHL when Wayne Gretzky was playing and getting, you know, 200 points a year. You're not going to get a guy to get 200 points again in hockey ever.

Speaker 10 You just aren't because the guys are bigger. The rules have changed.
The concept and mindset of what the teams do is different. So you can enjoy that time frame, but you're not going to get it back.

Speaker 10 Attitude era, it's not going to happen again. And on top of that, if you actually go back and watch the attitude era, you know, there's a great sketch comedy show in Canada called SCTV.

Speaker 10 Classic Martin Short, John Candy, Dave Thomas, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara. Genius.
When you go back and watch it, yeah, there's a genius, but there's also a lot of crap on there, too.

Speaker 10 And it's the same with the attitude era. Maybe every show you'll get two or three or four great things and like four or five things.

Speaker 1 That's really crazy. It's how your malgir is

Speaker 1 how you were when you were watching.

Speaker 1 The mind plays tricks on you. I hear a Sublime album, and I'm back in middle school.
Right, you know,

Speaker 10 and there's some albums that you'll listen to that you can listen to legitimately now, but then you'll go back and listen to that Sublime album and go, well, I was more into that when I was 15.

Speaker 10 It's not really catching me the same as it used to.

Speaker 10 So you get that vibe. And I think that's one of those things that with WWE being a monopoly for so long, right out of the attitude era, then they bought WCW, then it's just been WWE.

Speaker 10 I think now with AEW even coming into existence, it's a great thing for the wrestling business because it gives people a choice.

Speaker 10 And there's nothing wrong with having a choice.

Speaker 10 On top of that, it gives the guys who are working, the wrestlers, girls and guys,

Speaker 10 some

Speaker 10 choice between two. Some leverage.

Speaker 10 And then it's also going to stick a boot up Vince's ass.

Speaker 10 You're not just competition.

Speaker 10 If you're running a race and no one's behind you, you slow down, you stop, have a drink, whatever.

Speaker 10 If there's someone right on your heels and you're about ready to lose the race, you're going to run as fast as you can.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's a good point because the attitude error came from that WCW tip. You're getting Goldberg.

Speaker 1 I remember being like, Goldberg's a fucking man. I love that.

Speaker 10 And then right after that, Vince won. In 2001, he bought WCW.
That was the end of viable competition.

Speaker 10 Now, you actually have a group of performers who have worldwide name, value, and experience who haven't really been seen on the national scale here, with the exception of me.

Speaker 10 You've got a couple big name guys that people know, like me, Jim Ross, those type of guys.

Speaker 10 You've got huge financial backers in the Khan family that own the Jacksonville Jaguars, they own the Fulham Football Club in the Premier League. Well, they were in the Premier League.

Speaker 1 I know about that. I own a team that got relegated.
Do you really? Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Did they?

Speaker 10 They got relegated.

Speaker 1 Is it a team of ghosts? Swansea.

Speaker 10 Oh, okay. Yeah.
I know Swansea. Yeah, I own it.

Speaker 1 I live there before. Yeah.
You own the city of Swansea? Well, no, I own the team. Oh, okay.
0.0001% of 1%.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay that's all right man that's an owner right five ten pounds if you're yeah is that an owner it's I own three glow sticks worth of Swansea well yeah well the DX don't throw them at me yeah okay

Speaker 10 but let me finish my point and then and then throw in not only the financial backing the talent and then the television deal with TNT yeah which incidentally is the same network that that WCW nitro was on

Speaker 10 now you have

Speaker 1 a viable alternative.

Speaker 10 All checks or all boxes are checked. And I I think it's the first time we've ever seen this in decades.

Speaker 6 So, I guess the real question is: how much of the secret sauce of WWE was directly from Vince's brain? And how much can be replicated somewhere else? Well, he touches everything, right?

Speaker 6 Like, he controlled everything.

Speaker 10 Everything. And, like I said, when you get a guy like that, I mean, it's like, okay, if Van Halen's playing guitar and Van Halen, then he quits, and they get, I don't know, Steve Vai.

Speaker 10 You got a guy who's a brilliant player, but it's not Eddie. It's just a different way of thinking.
And I think Vince is one of those guys.

Speaker 10 He's a genius. When people bag on Vince for like, oh, he's losing it, or this was a bad idea.
How many ideas has the guy had over the last 30 years?

Speaker 10 Let's just say 10,000 ideas. If 9,000 of them are great and a thousand of them don't work, that's a 10% failure rate and a 90% success rate.
He still has that.

Speaker 10 It's just that now he's in charge of this billion-dollar company that's corporate, publicly traded. So, you know, he's 75 years old, but he still understands the wrestling business.

Speaker 10 That never changes. The bottom line and basic concept of what wrestling is doesn't change.
Um,

Speaker 10 what's the secret sauce for Jericho is learned at the at the at the hands of Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson, his kind of main lead right-hand man.

Speaker 10 So, there's a lot of things I've learned from those guys that I can bring to AEW that no one else knows from working so closely with Vince and from having that trust.

Speaker 10 Not that you're betraying, but you're learning and using those skills for your own abilities.

Speaker 10 So, when you get a chance to study with a guy like Vince, take it and and learn from as much as you can because when he's gone you cannot replicate that right you cannot replace that

Speaker 1 all right i got one last question see geek question put in promo code take you get ten dollars off do you use see geek on your podcast uh is that where you get uh uh tickets yeah yeah tickets i have used it before yeah there you go promo code take you got it you i saved you ten dollars oh yeah yeah okay okay uh last question is you want next time i go to a swansea game yeah yeah you get me ten bucks off yeah okay tickets are probably less than that now we're not in the

Speaker 1 yeah yeah, right. Do you like us?

Speaker 6 Good question. Thanks.

Speaker 1 Wow. That's great.
Once again, a very

Speaker 10 broad question. Yeah,

Speaker 10 I do like you guys.

Speaker 1 I don't think you like us.

Speaker 10 Well, I think that you should shut your mouth and let me answer the fucking thing.

Speaker 1 He's going back to the heel.

Speaker 1 My goal is to get in the walls of the house. No,

Speaker 10 you become very abrasive at times. So if I answer the question, you get mad at me and say it's going heel.

Speaker 10 A little bit annoying in a way, right?

Speaker 1 I sense that's part of your appeal. Yeah, your heel.

Speaker 10 No, I'm just reacting to the vibe that you're throwing down.

Speaker 10 I like the fact fact you're doing it in this van.

Speaker 10 I think at some point we should take a cross-country trip in this van. Yes.
Film it all the way. Yes.

Speaker 1 Sit like this from like, you know, from LA to New York.

Speaker 6 If you got to know us, you'd like us a lot more.

Speaker 10 I think if I got to know you, I'd like you a lot less.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'd agree.

Speaker 10 I think where I am right now is probably the highest amount of liking I'm going to get with you guys, which is good. You always

Speaker 10 leave people wanting more.

Speaker 10 In this case, you're leaving. people wanting less.

Speaker 10 Right.

Speaker 1 They're like, that was just the right amount of never want that again.

Speaker 10 You know what's funny? No one ever even told me what your guys' names were.

Speaker 6 No.

Speaker 1 Well, we just

Speaker 1 get that? Yeah,

Speaker 1 I'm Dave. I'm Sam.
He's Sam. He's Dave.
No, that's not our name. Oh, that's okay.

Speaker 1 I'm Dan. Big cat.

Speaker 10 Dan and Save.

Speaker 1 Yes, Dan and Save. His name is Save.
They call me Save. Yeah, Save.

Speaker 1 Like you save the interview. I'm a golden.
Every time it screws up. Yeah, yeah.
I'm the guy that comes in. There you go.

Speaker 10 So his name is Dan. Yeah.
I'll remember that. What's your name? Save.

Speaker 1 Okay. Just call me Save.
I'll be safe. That's actually a pretty cool cat.
Dan and

Speaker 6 David San. Pretty chill.

Speaker 10 Davin San.

Speaker 1 Dave San.

Speaker 10 Yeah, Dave San. Like karate kid.
Yeah, Dave Sandan Sand.

Speaker 1 Dave San.

Speaker 6 It just occurred to me that what you just described probably happens a lot. We really like people that we interview.
We think that we're really good friends with them.

Speaker 1 And then they leave. They're like, those guys are not.

Speaker 1 They're like, we're great friends.

Speaker 10 When you have a press day, right, which I'm doing right now, you have a list of interviews that you do. So the one I did before this was at Sirius.
It was Covino and Rich. Yep.
Great guys.

Speaker 10 But I know their names, but now I have to, on the fly, figure out which one is Covino.

Speaker 10 Which is pretty easy to figure out because one guy's a Hispanic guy, one guy's a New York guy. So I got that one.
So I did not see, all I saw was Barstool Sports. Pardon my interruption.

Speaker 1 Pardon my take.

Speaker 10 Pardon my take. And I did not see Dan and Save.

Speaker 1 Okay, and now how do you rank us against all the other interviews you've done today?

Speaker 10 I think it's probably, it's been the longest.

Speaker 1 Oh, good. We'll take it.

Speaker 1 We're never letting you out.

Speaker 10 All the interviews I've had today, this is definitely one of them.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 I like it.

Speaker 1 All right. I mean, we should end there.
Chris Jericho. What more can you say? This has been an interview.
I like it, Chris Jericho.

Speaker 10 Dan and Save.

Speaker 1 Dan and Save, Chris Jericho, legend. You're welcome on anytime.
Thank you. And we'll see you guys.
Appreciate it.

Speaker 10 I'm going to Google you guys, so I'll know your names.

Speaker 1 Best friend. Yeah, but fuck that.
Really not going on.

Speaker 10 I'll bring some free ghosts for you guys, too.

Speaker 1 Don't fuck around with that. You can't give a ghost to me.
I was about to buy that fucking box. Was it a Dybbuk? I was about to buy that box.
I saw a movie with a box,

Speaker 1 but you realized what you were about to do to me. I was going to sell you a box.
You were selling me a box. And the ghosts were very happy with it.
Well, the ghosts would have come after you forever.

Speaker 10 They would have come after you for being a dumbass that gave me $150.

Speaker 1 Agree to disagree. Chris Jericho.

And now, Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Speaker 10 Enough for something completely different.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on Dale earnhardt jr uh dale we wanted to ask you a bunch of questions but we're going to start with one you used to be a smoker and now you're a nicorette uh gum chewer and you got a new ice mint lozenge out so tell us about that real quick yeah i was a smoker for 15 years uh then quit uh for about been a non-smoker for about seven years

Speaker 9 and uh Nicorette came to me with this new product the coated ice mint lozenge you talk about and wanted to know if I'd be willing to tell my story and how I quit and try to encourage people in the same situation that are wanting to quit smoking to try this mint lozenge so that it could give them advantage they need to finally knock out that terrible habit.

Speaker 9 I'm glad it's no longer a part of my life and want to give somebody else that same happiness.

Speaker 1 All right, so Dale, how's retirement going? Let's start there. I mean, you're obviously very busy.
You got a podcast. You were at the Indy 500.
You were at the Kentucky Derby.

Speaker 1 How is retirement going other than the fact that you're doing doing like a million jobs?

Speaker 9 That's the thing, man. I didn't think I was going to be working as much as I am today.

Speaker 9 And I think as I get down the road, I'll do a little bit better job of managing my time. But I have a lot going on, and it's keeping me busy,

Speaker 9 which is nice. But at the same time, I got a new daughter, Ida.
She's about 14 months.

Speaker 9 Love being around her and spending time with her. And so I'm trying to figure out a way to sort of manage my time a little better where I can be, where I can, you know, do that.

Speaker 9 But it's been wide open. We wrote a book and we went on a book tour and did that over the last year.
Obviously, when you know,

Speaker 9 I'm not, I'm working with NBC year-round. We cover the races for half of the year.

Speaker 9 Fox covers the first half of the season, and we cover the second half with NBC. And when we're not covering races for NASCAR, they send me to other sporting events that they're a big part of.

Speaker 9 That's been pretty fun to see how creative they get in plugging me into them situations.

Speaker 9 And I went to the NE500 first time in my life, which was awesome as hell. I mean, I'd suggest anybody to go to that event at least once.

Speaker 9 I went to the Kentucky Derby for the first time in my life this year. And again, that's a bucket list item that you have to go see at least once in your life.

Speaker 9 I went to the

Speaker 9 South Korea for the Winter Olympics.

Speaker 9 I mean, I'd have never went to South Korea in my life, much less been able to go to the Olympics.

Speaker 9 As a race car driver, we were so busy we could never do these things. But since I retired, it's opened the door, and teaming up with NBC has really been a vessel to get me to these places.

Speaker 9 To be able to go around all those locations, I basically got this grand tour of the Kentucky Derby grounds during the biggest day of the year

Speaker 9 for the racetrack.

Speaker 9 I got up close to some of those some of the horses, and those sound horses are incredible, man. They're impressive athletes

Speaker 9 and we got to meet and talk to some pretty cool people

Speaker 9 so it was I enjoyed it it's it's a little bit nerve-wracking because live TV

Speaker 9 you're just gonna you're gonna be nervous you can't help it you're gonna be nervous about the you know they're they're getting ready to throw it to you you're getting ready to go be on TV in front of a hundred people you don't want to make a mistake during the Indy 500 We were in the snake pit, which is the craziest thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 9 You know, you're going to make mistakes. And so I think I said the Daytona 500 while I was standing there doing a hit with Rudd on live TV for the Indy 500.

Speaker 9 And your producer comes in your ear and goes, hey, you screwed up. You said the Daytona 500, fix it.

Speaker 9 So you have to figure out a way to come back on air, you know, moments later and talk about how awesome the Indy 500 is.

Speaker 6 Do you think it would be more difficult to make the transition from racing NASCAR to racing horses or racing horses to racing NASCARs?

Speaker 9 I think a jockey trying to go race NASCAR would be the tougher transition.

Speaker 1 Yeah, probably, yeah. Do you think jockeys are athletes? Absolutely.

Speaker 9 I mean, you got to hang on to that horse.

Speaker 9 Just imagine this.

Speaker 9 Like, when you're sitting in the gate and that horse takes off, I think it takes everything that you have to be able to not be thrown off the horse in that moment and be left in the gate.

Speaker 9 I mean, the horses take when that horse takes off, it's hard and ass. And

Speaker 9 I don't know, man. I think that you'd have to be an athlete and very athletic athletic to just hang on in that one moment.
There's strategy to it as far as how your horse races.

Speaker 9 Some horses are closers. The horse that won and got disqualified, he was a guy that jumps out and leads right away,

Speaker 9 and he'll lead the whole race if he can't. And so

Speaker 9 as a jockey, you've got to know how your horse performs and when he needs to go. And they just don't haul ass and take off running.
It's the first one back.

Speaker 9 There's like a process in that race as to how they use the horse and when the horse is, you know, when the horse is, you know, going to be able to perform and close at the end of the race.

Speaker 1 What do you miss about racing the most? Is it the competition? Is it the rivalries? Is it the speed? Were you addicted to speed at any point in your life?

Speaker 9 The one thing I miss about racing the most is probably the

Speaker 9 my team, the friendships that you make on your team, you travel with these guys every single week and you're racing, they're working on your car trying to help you win, and then your life is in their hands and so you you build these great friendships with the group the guys that you're with um the other thing that i miss is probably just passing a car like

Speaker 9 passing a car is is like making a shot or or or scoring a touchdown catching the ball intercepting the ball passing a car is is a success you know you know a moment of success throughout a race And so trying to get around a guy or trying to figure out his weak spot or trying to figure out how to make that pass happen is a lot of fun.

Speaker 9 And you can tell when your car is better than somebody else's. And it's just a matter of time before you're going to get around this guy.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 9 that moment is really exhilarating.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I like that. Just passing the car.

Speaker 6 I've always wondered, too, like,

Speaker 6 after you win a race, you guys are always so great about shouting out all your sponsors. Is there, like, do you have to mix up which sponsor you say first every time? Or is it always a set pattern?

Speaker 6 You're like, okay, I'm going to thank Budweiser first, then I'm going to thank this guy, this guy, this guy?

Speaker 9 There's one sponsor that's going to pay the most money, and that's the one you better get in. So your primary sponsor is somebody you shouldn't forget.

Speaker 9 I wasn't always great about that. I mean, if you look at some of my interviews, I rarely even mentioned my sponsors.

Speaker 9 And I would all you know,'cause I would talk in the moment and and I would talk about my emotion and how I felt or, you know, and and answer the question as genuinely as I could.

Speaker 9 And a lot of times it's a sponsor's not going to work into that. So, a lot of times I was not the best at doing that.

Speaker 9 Now, you know, but yeah,

Speaker 9 if you're going to meet your sponsors, you want to go from the one that's paying the biggest bill, the one that's putting the bill for your team. Because

Speaker 9 today in motorsports for a Lincoln Cup team, it costs about probably $15 million, $10 to $20 million to race

Speaker 9 in NASCAR successfully.

Speaker 9 And usually one company is

Speaker 9 going to be paying for the majority of that expense. So that's the guys you got to work in.

Speaker 1 Speaking of sponsorships, how much Mountain Dew do you think you've drank in your entire life? Oh man, I don't know.

Speaker 1 Quite a bit.

Speaker 9 Not as much Budweiser, though.

Speaker 1 We drank a lot more Budweiser, I think. Those are some wild days.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Yeah.
So you're a big Redskins fan. I grew up rooting for the team.
Can you please tell me on why you think that this year is going to be the year that they're able to turn it around?

Speaker 9 We did draft Haskins, which

Speaker 9 gets me excited as a fan.

Speaker 9 I mean, if we were going into

Speaker 9 this offseason and camp and preseason

Speaker 9 without Haskins, look at the rest of the quarterbacks on the team.

Speaker 1 I mean, I can't get it.

Speaker 9 I can't, I'm sorry. I can't get excited about that.

Speaker 6 Case Keenum doesn't do it for you?

Speaker 9 No, not really.

Speaker 9 You know, I mean, not that he can't do the job. I just, I need, I would rather there be a little tougher competition for him, and that's what we got in the draft.

Speaker 9 And, you know, we don't know what's going to happen

Speaker 9 with the quarterback situation and who's going to start and all that crap. But at least we got something to look forward to.

Speaker 9 I don't, you know, I've gotten to the point now as a Redskins fan, it ain't even about wins and losses for me anymore. It's not.

Speaker 9 I mean, if it was about that, I would have quit being a Redskins fan a long time ago. For me, it's about give me something to look forward to.
Give me something to be excited about.

Speaker 9 Players, personalities. Like, we've been drafting some really kick-ass guys on our defense.
I hope that, you know, I want to watch them play out.

Speaker 9 Being a fan of Trent Williams and watching him work that offensive line over the years is what's kept me a fan.

Speaker 1 That's kept me

Speaker 9 as a fan of the Redskins. It hasn't been the success on the field.

Speaker 9 It's been the personalities and the people. the people playing the game.

Speaker 9 The guys that will gut it out in the shittiest years and stick around uh and give it their best like trent's a perfect example of that he's an all-star tackle one of the best that's ever played the position at least for the redskins and he's had every reason to want to get the hell out of there and he's hung in there and give it everything he's got and we're drafting a lot of good character guys at least you know across the across the board and so watching them dudes uh Ryan Kerrigan and all these guys develop and and you know be key players on the team is really the fun for me.

Speaker 1 So Haskins,

Speaker 9 that's a great reason to tune in and be plugged in through camp and on into preseason. Let's see what Haskins can do.

Speaker 1 Dale, I have a question. So when I was searching like Fun Facts, Dale Earnhardt Jr., some interesting things popped up.
So I need some clarification on a few things that I read.

Speaker 1 The first is, do you own a gas tank at your house? I have a gas tank at my house that I keep.

Speaker 9 You know, we it's cheaper to buy it in bulk so

Speaker 9 I keep a gas tank in the house

Speaker 1 do you ever let like your friends fuel up or is it just for you somebody else better be using it

Speaker 1 I like it so all right so you should you need to go all the way though you need to have like a little convenience store next to the gas tank too and have someone like working at 24 hours so you can go grab like you know some Mountain Dew and some Fritos and feel like you get the full experience that sounds like a pain in the butt okay all right next Next one is, do you, did you at one point have like a Wild West town on your property?

Speaker 1 I still do, yeah.

Speaker 9 It's a western town called Whiskey River. It's got a saloon and jail cells, a sheriff's office, a hotel with rooms, got a church.
We've had weddings there. We've had a lot of parties there.

Speaker 6 Holy shit. What are the laws in Whiskey River? Are they different from North Carolina state laws or what's different about it?

Speaker 9 I've only locked one person up. They got a little too drunk one night.
Otherwise, you know, pretty much the same laws, yeah.

Speaker 1 So do you go down there, like, and just hang out in your town? Like, that's pretty much the coolest thing anyone can do is just build themselves their own town.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I go down there and hang out. Me and my friend, we'll go down there and drink a few beers and pretty chill.

Speaker 1 Are there any ghosts down there? Do you believe in ghosts?

Speaker 9 Yeah, I don't think there's a ghost there. Yeah, I believe in ghosts.
Sure.

Speaker 1 Okay, good answer. Good answer.

Speaker 1 All right, and then the other thing that I read, which I can't believe, that you and your father didn't talk about racing, that you just kept it, you know, father-son not getting into the details about racing.

Speaker 1 Is that true?

Speaker 9 That's true. He wasn't hands-on bad, like, let's go out in the yard and throw the ball.

Speaker 9 Let me tell you how to drive a corner. Let me, you know, let me tell you how to drive around this track.
There were a couple scenarios. If it happened, I can count those times on one hand.

Speaker 9 He just wasn't very hands-on. You know, he was racing as well.
So he had so much crap going on. He didn't have a whole lot of time for really anybody.

Speaker 9 And so he was gone traveling.

Speaker 1 I was home going to school.

Speaker 9 And when I would race,

Speaker 9 I would go race at other racetracks. So he hardly ever saw me race for the first four years of my career.

Speaker 1 Wow. Yeah, I mean, that's crazy because you obviously think like Earn Hart Sr., Earn Hart Jr., you guys sat down and talked about all the racing, but that clearly wasn't the case.

Speaker 1 Was it weird growing up in Earnhardt in the racing community? Did people look at you differently?

Speaker 1 Did they maybe make a preconceived notion of you before they met you and found out the type of guy you were?

Speaker 9 I think so.

Speaker 1 In high school, I don't know.

Speaker 9 You know, there was some kids that liked racing, but it wasn't like the preps didn't like it.

Speaker 9 The athletes and all that, the guys that played basketball or football, they didn't really give a dang about it.

Speaker 9 I played soccer and none of the guys on the soccer team cared that my dad was Dale Earnhardt.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 9 it wasn't a real advantage.

Speaker 9 It didn't make me cooler in school. I wish you had, but it really didn't.

Speaker 9 So it wasn't much of an advantage there. But once I, I think once, you know, I got a little older, people saw, man, that's pretty neat.
He's, you know,

Speaker 9 that's, you know, they thought it was cool that

Speaker 9 I was related to him, wanted to know all about him. You know, you get out, you get questions about him all the time.

Speaker 9 Even today, still, people want to know so much about my dad.

Speaker 9 So, it's something that

Speaker 1 I'm proud of.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I wish it had been something that would have helped me in high school.

Speaker 1 That would have been nice.

Speaker 6 Yeah, yeah, seriously. I've always wondered about NASCAR

Speaker 6 if there's how much gamesmanship goes on, because obviously you guys want to win every single race that you're in.

Speaker 6 So, a lot of times, I'm sure that people will take little, they'll cut corners here and there. But how much actual cheating do you think goes on in the sport?

Speaker 6 Or is it more a case of like, if you can get away with it, it's not cheating?

Speaker 9 If you can get away with it, it's not cheating. So

Speaker 9 ever since racing began,

Speaker 9 guys have been trying to break the rules or bend the rules in their favor. And I'll say this, like I i if

Speaker 9 you take a stock if you take a car that's legal from front from front to back, completely legal through the rule book,

Speaker 9 you're not going to run very well. You're not going to do well.
And the goo the crew chief

Speaker 9 the crew chief that I want, the team that I want, are the ones that are willing to gamble and be aggressive with the rules, bend the rules, maybe break a few rules, because I know that that's what I'm competing against.

Speaker 9 And the guys with the most creativity and ingenuity are the guys that are going to build you the best car, the one that can go out there and have an advantage over everybody else.

Speaker 1 I like it.

Speaker 1 So we are a Denny Hamlin podcast. And with that, we are an anti-Joey Slogano podcast.
I know you're friends with Joey Slogano, but he did make like an age joke on your podcast recently.

Speaker 1 What's his deal? What's that guy's deal? He's a jerk.

Speaker 9 Joey is not a jerk.

Speaker 9 One time,

Speaker 9 Joey had a problem trying to get to a racetrack. He was flying to Phoenix.

Speaker 9 And

Speaker 9 at the last minute, he called me and he said, hey, I need a ride. I'm having trouble getting there with my plane or something.
So I said, no problem, hop on. I wasn't a big Joey fan.

Speaker 9 I didn't dislike the guy. I just didn't like him.
It's kind of either way.

Speaker 9 And he rides on the airplane to Phoenix,

Speaker 9 runs his race. On Monday morning, I got a check in the mail

Speaker 9 to my foundation for $10,000 from Joey.

Speaker 9 Out of the kindness of his heart for me giving him a lift to the racetrack that weekend. I mean, the guy's got a decent heart heart down in there.
He's all right.

Speaker 9 Now, on the racetrack, he drives a little different, but he got beat up. You know, the guys were pretty rough on him for a long time when he was a rookie.

Speaker 9 When he was younger, he got pushed around a lot.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 9 the sport,

Speaker 9 all the guys that have raced against him had sort of created what he is on the racetrack.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I'm still not going to like that.

Speaker 6 It sounds like he has to pay for friends. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We're Denny Hamlin guys.

Speaker 1 You got to understand that. We can't leave our guy.
Through Through and through. You like Denny Hamlin?

Speaker 6 You a Denny Hamlin fan?

Speaker 9 He and Danny have known each other for

Speaker 1 probably,

Speaker 9 shoot, 15, 20 years. He's all right.
We're good friends.

Speaker 1 All right, perfect.

Speaker 6 Have you ever hung out with Michael Jordan with him?

Speaker 9 I've not hung out with Michael Jordan and Denny at the same time. That has not ever happened.

Speaker 1 Oh, so you've hung out with Michael Jordan separate from Denny?

Speaker 9 I've seen Michael around.

Speaker 9 And I don't know him like Denny knows him. Denny knows him really well.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we had Denny we've had Denny on the show a couple of times, and he called Michael Jordan for us and he picked up the phone call. It was pretty much the best moment of my life.

Speaker 1 You can't get any better than that. Yeah.
All right, I had one last question. It's a SeatGeek question.
You can put in promo code TAKE and you get $10 off your SeatGeek purchase.

Speaker 1 Where do you rank all-time juniors? So you got Ken Griffey Jr., Cal Ripken Jr.,

Speaker 1 Junior Soprano before he died. Where do you think you rank in all-time juniors? Hell, I don't know, man.

Speaker 9 There's a lot of awesome juniors out there.

Speaker 1 But,

Speaker 9 yeah, the fact that I'm getting asked this question is actually pretty cool. But I was a big King Ricky Jr.
fan. I had all his baseball cards when I was little.
So I put him up there.

Speaker 9 I have

Speaker 9 a Cal Ripken second-year fleer card.

Speaker 9 He was pretty badass. We actually had races named after Cal Ripken.

Speaker 1 Really? I might have won one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we had the Cal Ripken 400 or something.

Speaker 9 I think I might have won that racer.

Speaker 1 I can't remember. No way.

Speaker 1 Why did they do that? He sponsored it? I don't know.

Speaker 9 Well, no, he didn't sponsor it, but some company he was paired with brought him in, and he was at the race.

Speaker 9 I'm sure you can look it all up, figure it all out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm looking at

Speaker 1 it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, I'm looking at it right now, the 2001 MBNA Cal Ripken Jr.
400.

Speaker 1 There you go.

Speaker 1 And you won it.

Speaker 6 What about Junior's cheesecake? That's pretty good, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Damn.
Good job for you. Cal Ripkin Jr., that's Junior Jr.
That's like the that was the best junior day of all time.

Speaker 6 MLK Jr. too.
He was a good one. That's true.

Speaker 1 Respect Harry Connick Jr.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Cuba Gooding Jr.

Speaker 1 Cuba Gooding Jr. Jonathan Kennedy Jr.
Freddy Prince Jr. better than Harry Connick Jr.
He wasn't very good at sporting. Yes, that's true.
Shots fired.

Speaker 6 We got some junior on junior crime going on. Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 6 Big cat just asked his last question. I have one last, last question, then we'll let you be on your way.

Speaker 6 If Dan Snyder has one seat left on his private jet and he can either pick up you or Matthew McConaughey, hey, who do you think he's picking up?

Speaker 9 Good Lord. I hope he picks me up.

Speaker 9 You know,

Speaker 9 Matthew's pretty cool, but... Could you imagine talking Redskins with him?

Speaker 6 No, I can't imagine talking to anything with him besides just like having, just chilling out with him.

Speaker 9 I actually would like to talk Redskins with him. I wonder how, I bet he talks about,

Speaker 9 I bet he talked about all the Super Bowls and really slow, real slow talking.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 9 That'd be pretty interesting, actually, for about 15 minutes.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Let me talk to you real quick about the first time I laid eyes on Mark Ribbon.

Speaker 1 All right. Thank you so much, Junior.
Appreciate it. Everyone, go check out the new Nicorette Iceman lozenge.
Also, Dale has a podcast you can go listen to. We appreciate your time, man.

Speaker 1 Anytime you're in New York City, stop by the studio.

Speaker 9 All right, guys, we'll do it.

Speaker 1 Thank y'all. All right.
Thanks, man. Appreciate it.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's wrap up this Friday with some segments. First up, I had a stay woke for you, PFT.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 your boy, now that I'm a father,

Speaker 1 I've watched a lot of Get Up in the morning because that's my time to be a father. And I've been watching a lot of Get Up.

Speaker 1 Your boy, Greeny, is very upset because we have the big-time controversy of whether the NBA will lessen the season from 82 games to who knows what.

Speaker 1 And Adam Silver also said they're going to explore an idea of a mid-season tournament to, I guess, decide playoff seating or whatever it may be. A cup.
A cup.

Speaker 3 I don't even know what that means.

Speaker 1 So here's my stay woke.

Speaker 1 I think Adam Silver is a smart, good commissioner, but I think the reason why everyone loves him is because he will just listen to whatever stupid, high idea that Twitter has and then publicly say, we're going to discuss it.

Speaker 1 Because guess what?

Speaker 1 Every time they talk about shortening a season and people freak out and greeny has fallen for the bait here he like he had a full freak out you just have to remember if they shorten the season all the players are going to get paid less so there's no way they're ever going to shorten this season and all the owners are going to make less money so it's never going to get shortened but adam silver is a genius because he just takes like he just basically goes on nba reddit reads the most upvoted idea for how to fix the nba and then says we're going to discuss it uh in this offseason and maybe we'll make some changes

Speaker 6 So he's trying to do what they did in the EPL or like English soccer.

Speaker 6 I don't understand what's going on with all the trophies and cups. It's a very tough system to understand, but I know that there are like three of them that are happening simultaneously.

Speaker 6 So he's trying to muddy the waters here a little bit in the U.S. And I think that you're right about him listening to too many ideas.
But with Greene, Greene should...

Speaker 6 Greeny should be happy that Silver's listening to dumbass ideas from random corners of the sports universe because at some point he's going to listen to one of Mike Greenberg's own dumb rules. True.

Speaker 6 Like he's basically Adam Silver's sending up the bat sign for Greeny, being like, Greeny, let's get fucking weird with it. You want to throw some weird rules at me?

Speaker 6 Tell me that we're going to raise the rims to 11 and a half feet during November and then bring them back down. Like, let's get weird, Greeny, and I'll discuss it.

Speaker 1 All that shit's going to happen, though. They're going to, I guarantee you in the next few years, Adam Silver is going to talk about moving the three-point line, getting a four-pointer,

Speaker 1 getting rid of like, you know, intentional fouls, making technicals different, all these things.

Speaker 1 If you have a dumb idea and you get enough traction on Twitter, Adam Silver will announce that they are going to discuss it just to appease everyone.

Speaker 1 And everyone says, Adam Silver is the true commissioner of the people. He's open to all these ideas.
He embraced gambling first.

Speaker 1 Adam Silver gets credit for embracing gambling first, but that is the most... obvious thing to do in the whole world.

Speaker 1 So as much as I want to say good job by you, Adam Silver, I'm also like, yeah, no shit. Everyone should embrace gambling.
Adam Silver is just smart to say it out loud first.

Speaker 1 He shouldn't get credit for basically a baseline of intelligence that gambling will make people watch more.

Speaker 6 Yeah, it's easy stuff to do if you're commissioned. I think that's what most people under the age of 40 would have said, like day one on the job.
Right.

Speaker 6 So yeah, maybe we can get him to embrace one of our dumb shit ideas, like letting players score for whichever team they feel like. Points.
In the middle of a game.

Speaker 1 Points for

Speaker 1 best own of a Twitter troll. Kevin Durant now becomes even more of a Supermax guy.

Speaker 6 Best governor of a Twitter troll.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Governor.
Sorry. Governor.

Speaker 1 Okay, last up before we get to license to Jill.

Speaker 1 Wayne Rooney had a sick goal.

Speaker 1 Most talking soccer.

Speaker 1 Yeah, those talking soccer.

Speaker 1 It was sick.

Speaker 6 It was a screamer.

Speaker 1 It was World War II.

Speaker 6 What's the difference between a screamer and a howler?

Speaker 1 Depends where you're from. Yeah, I guess, yeah.
I think that's like a northern England, southern England. I don't know.
We'll just say that. Okay.

Speaker 6 Catholic, Protestant thing. I think it was a screamer.
Wayne Rooney absolutely drilled the shit out of the...

Speaker 1 That's like his third goal from Beyond Midfield. Breaking moves.

Speaker 1 Breaking moves from Hank.

Speaker 3 This is actually from our good friend, Uncle Chaps. He just informed me.

Speaker 3 So this week he posted a video of his daughter playing defense. She's like a little, his younger daughter.
It went viral. It was all over the place.
They talked about it on the jump.

Speaker 3 They talked about it on all sorts of news stations. And he just told me that tomorrow, today, for the people listening to this on Friday, she's going to be on Good Morning America.

Speaker 1 Whoa. So

Speaker 7 good for our friend Chaps.

Speaker 3 Good for McCartney. It's cool to see people from our company when they go viral and hit the mainstream.

Speaker 1 That video is so fucking funny. And

Speaker 1 she's Patrick Beverly in Kevin Durant's head. She just went so, so hard on the defensive end.

Speaker 3 And it was the perfect time because nothing else is going on.

Speaker 3 So like, they had a full segment on the jump with Scotty Pippen breaking down her defense, which is, I mean, that's something that'll be cool for the rest of her life.

Speaker 1 Didn't, um, didn't, who, uh, Gobert said, go ahead and just give my defensive player award to her, to Chap's daughter.

Speaker 6 So, McCartney McNeely is the official winner of the 2019 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award.

Speaker 7 I like it.

Speaker 1 America's back. She got invited to the Spurs and the Bulls camp.

Speaker 6 Jeez, this is awesome. This is what's so cool about having a kid is that you can put them to work just creating content for you online.

Speaker 1 She is. She's a content factory for chaps.

Speaker 1 Okay, so

Speaker 1 that breaking moves was brought to you by chocolate milk. Hank's been doing great, so let's see how much he's grown without hurting your dichotomy.

Speaker 1 Tell everyone how great chocolate milk tastes using the words bullyabase and delectable.

Speaker 3 Fuck, I kind of know what bouillabase means.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you can see it.

Speaker 3 You know, sometimes, sometimes

Speaker 3 after a workout, I'll get a chocolate milk and a bagel and spread some boya base on it, and it's just delectable.

Speaker 1 You wash it down with it.

Speaker 8 You wash it down with the chocolate milk, boya base bagel, can't beat it.

Speaker 1 Oh, when a natural break comes to,

Speaker 1 oh, sorry, that's that's just when a natural break comes to wrap up the story. I read the part of the story.

Speaker 6 We had this last time, yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, but that's the natural break, right? So, learn more at built with chocolatemilk.com. Nailed it.
We nailed that.

Speaker 6 I like booyah base. That sounds like something that they would say in the course of a Bubba Sparks song.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Bouilly Bass sounds like something you could get really high off of, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay, let's finish up with our intern, Jilly Football.
Okay, it's that time of the week. It is licensed to Jill, our intern.

Speaker 1 Jilly Football is here. She has worked on her hashtag game, hashtag Josh.

Speaker 1 And we didn't see you all last week, but you've been killing it on Twitter.

Speaker 13 Thank you.

Speaker 6 You've been cheesing it up a lot, too.

Speaker 1 Do you have a drinking problem?

Speaker 13 I

Speaker 13 played the fifth.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.
So that means yes.

Speaker 1 Let's start how we always start License the Jill with what you were not mad but disappointed in in this last week's content.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 13 Boys.

Speaker 1 The dramatic pauses kill me. I know.

Speaker 13 I'm not mad, but this one, I'm a little disappointed,

Speaker 13 can I say in myself?

Speaker 1 Yeah, sure.

Speaker 13 I

Speaker 13 tweeted,

Speaker 13 and I don't, you know, I'm still new to it, but I tweeted about

Speaker 13 the eggplant emoji.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 13 That I found out this last week what it meant. Yeah.

Speaker 13 So I didn't think, I didn't see it coming.

Speaker 1 All the

Speaker 1 dimensions. Yeah.
Okay. So,

Speaker 1 um, and I'll probably get more, but no, no, no, send eggplants to Jillie. Did you get a lot of them?

Speaker 13 Well, I did, but first I had to ask a guy in a bar

Speaker 13 at the airport what it was because I couldn't see it. It was so little.

Speaker 1 Okay, and what did he say?

Speaker 13 He said,

Speaker 13 that's an eggplant. And I said, okay.

Speaker 13 And then he kind of turned a little red. So then when I got to my, I asked my son, and he explained his father.

Speaker 6 So here's some other ones to watch out for. The banana, obviously, the banana can mean similar thing.

Speaker 6 The peach just means butt.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but big old dump. The three water drops, you probably want to avoid that.

Speaker 6 Or just one water drop.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You're kidding.
Yeah, when you get wet,

Speaker 1 ejaculation. Maybe if you're watching basketball instead of shooting the three well, you can use it, but otherwise avoid it.

Speaker 6 That's what that means.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So you don't want to get wet.

Speaker 1 Also, does it mean raining?

Speaker 1 No, it does not mean raining. Use the umbrella if you want to do the rain.
Yeah, or but that can still be like, oh, you better bring your umbrella.

Speaker 6 That's the dicey.

Speaker 6 Don't use I'm okay one, the okay sign, because that means that you're a white supremacist.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And you can't go to any Cubs games.
No.

Speaker 6 So you'd be banned for life from Wrigley's. Correct.
Just be careful with that one.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. Yeah, there's a lot of rules.

Speaker 1 You have so much to learn. A lot of rules.
So when you tweeted the eggplant, were you surprised with how many eggplants you got back that maybe had water drops on them?

Speaker 13 I don't think I noticed that.

Speaker 1 Okay, good. Good, good, good, good.
Okay.

Speaker 6 So did we determine what the Jilli Beans emoji was? Are we going with the grapes?

Speaker 1 I think I like that. The grapes are good.
Because it's also the sheesh.

Speaker 6 Yeah, the grapes.

Speaker 1 Jilly Beans a symbol. All right, so when Jilli Beans is going after someone, the Jilli Beans need to just tweet out the grapes right in their mentions.

Speaker 1 We need to get you on Instagram, by the way.

Speaker 1 We need to get you on the gram.

Speaker 1 I would like to see some Jilly Bean Instagram stories.

Speaker 6 Some third straps from Jilly Beans?

Speaker 1 Oh, God. Oh, big time.
All right, so what's the other thing that you were not mad but disappointed in?

Speaker 13 In your show the other day, and I,

Speaker 13 you know, they run together sometimes.

Speaker 6 It's all one song.

Speaker 1 It is.

Speaker 13 Well, I was disappointed in, and not mad, obviously, but disappointed with

Speaker 13 the guy you interviewed who was 6'4

Speaker 13 and dunked in eighth grade.

Speaker 1 Oh, Mark Titus, our good friend.

Speaker 13 Okay, well, what happened to him?

Speaker 13 Why didn't he go to the NBA?

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 did he get lazy? Well, okay, I have more for you. Stop growing.
He was also part of the greatest AAU team ever, which you would know if you ever met him because he tells you right away. Okay.

Speaker 1 So, yeah,

Speaker 1 he has friends, Mike Conley, Greg Odin. Who else was on that team?

Speaker 6 I think that's it. No, there's a couple more.

Speaker 1 There's five more. It's still a good team.

Speaker 1 It's a very good team. And Mark Titus.
And Mark Titus. And Mark Titus from three.

Speaker 6 He's a guy that, if he tweets the droplet sign, just means he's in the gym.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's what that means.
So you're not mad but disappointed that Mark Titus never amounted to anything.

Speaker 13 Yeah, I thought maybe got lazy.

Speaker 1 He just became a podcaster. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Like everyone else.

Speaker 1 He wrote a book and thought he was like the best.

Speaker 6 Well, what he did, and this is very smart of him, he realized that he uh, it would be easier for him to just be a bench player and make fun of himself for never getting in games than it would be to actually work hard enough to get into the games, right?

Speaker 6 And so he made a career out of that, which, I mean, credit to if you can make a career out of admitting your laziness, that's good stuff.

Speaker 1 It's the ultimate, like, I'm not going to try, I'm never going to give 100% effort because if I fail, then I'm a failure. But if I always give 75% effort and I fail, it's like, well,

Speaker 1 I was a joke. I wasn't really trying.

Speaker 6 And if you can make fun of yourself for being so bad at what you really want to do deep down inside, then there's also a market for that, too.

Speaker 1 Right, exactly. So that's kind of where he landed.
All right. So

Speaker 1 not mad, but disappointed.

Speaker 13 I didn't know the story.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there it is. There's the story.

Speaker 1 All right, you have some licensed jail for us. We'll wrap up the show with that.
Okay. Lay it on us.

Speaker 13 I know there is that. Yeah.

Speaker 13 What do you find most attractive in men? And

Yep, there you go. Yep.

Speaker 1 Okay, next one. Okay.

Speaker 13 Hey, Jillie.

Speaker 13 I've got seven siblings and three cousins. I'm the fourth oldest of the 11 of us, and I live the furthest away from my grandma.

Speaker 13 How can I move up in the grandchild power rankings and get past the little shits that have just gotten

Speaker 13 that have just gotten by by being cute?

Speaker 1 Oh, yep.

Speaker 13 Move in and take care of grandma.

Speaker 1 Do you think that does it? Can you?

Speaker 13 Oh, absolutely.

Speaker 13 I'm not a grandma, so I don't know. Right.

Speaker 1 But can you, would you say you can go up and down the rankings? Because

Speaker 1 myself, I always was the bottom of the rankings for my grandparents. I knew it.
I knew where I stood. I was always the like, you know, hey, he's a blogger.
Who the fuck cares about him? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, so you can move up. Just have

Speaker 1 you have to really try hard. That's the problem.

Speaker 13 You know, it depends on grandma.

Speaker 1 Okay. What about this?

Speaker 6 If you just have a weekly standing phone date with your grandma.

Speaker 1 That's good.

Speaker 6 That way you can say, like, oh, Saturday mornings, that's my phone date with grandma. That becomes like something that she gets really into.

Speaker 13 And she will love you. And you will move right to the top of the pile.

Speaker 1 Okay, so all these kids. Not to put you you on the hot seat here, though, you have five children.
I do. You definitely have them ranked, right?

Speaker 1 Oh, no. Oh, come on.

Speaker 1 There's one that you like more than everyone else.

Speaker 13 And they all know who they think it is, but I will never say it.

Speaker 1 Okay, but we know who it is, right? Do you? Yeah, it's Christina.

Speaker 13 Christina, absolutely.

Speaker 6 Top of the pile.

Speaker 1 Top of the pile.

Speaker 6 But you definitely have moments where it's like, okay, this kid is now my favorite. Like standing out out head and shoulders above the rest.

Speaker 13 It depends on what they do for mom.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
They can be bought. Mom can be biased.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. Mom can be bi.

Speaker 6 What would you do if one of them had like a really good week in terms of how you and that kid got along? They did something to distinguish themselves.

Speaker 6 Would you be cognizant of the fact that you're giving that child a lot of attention and then try to make up for it by lavishing praise on the other four, just like overdoing it on them?

Speaker 1 Nah. Or would you do like an hour-long special with Kirk Herb Street revealing the rankings?

Speaker 13 Absolutely, I would absolutely do that.

Speaker 1 Georgia, number one. Yeah, there we go.
All right, next one. Okay.

Speaker 13 We already did that one.

Speaker 13 Did I listen to Monday's show? If so, what life advice would you have for someone in their early 20s? And what did you think of the guys' advice they gave?

Speaker 13 I did listen to it.

Speaker 13 But I don't remember everything.

Speaker 1 It's very powerful advice. Wow, we really made an impact on you.
Excuse me.

Speaker 13 I'm old. I forget what happened yesterday.
True.

Speaker 13 But

Speaker 13 I can't remember what you said.

Speaker 1 But I did remember what.

Speaker 1 That's fine. That's fine.
Not a lot. Okay, next question.
Next question. That was a perfectly answered.

Speaker 13 Would you ever take a gravity bong rip with the boys?

Speaker 1 Would you?

Speaker 1 Do you know what that is?

Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yes. She lived in Ashbury.

Speaker 13 She definitely burned. Yeah.
I didn't live there, but I've been there. And sure, let's do it.
Let's burn it.

Speaker 1 Do you know what a gravity bong is?

Speaker 13 No, but

Speaker 13 I'm willing to do it.

Speaker 1 Let's go. It's when you get a big, like think a big

Speaker 1 water pulling springs, you know, water jug, cut it in half, and then

Speaker 1 you submerge it into a cooler or a sink, and you basically lift it up while you're pulling all the smoke because you get the smoke on the top, and then you hit it, and it fucks you up real bad.

Speaker 1 In? Still in.

Speaker 1 Still in. Okay, well, that's for everyone listening at home.
I know that we promise some things that we never deliver. I guarantee you, by the end of the summer, we will all hit a gravity bong.

Speaker 6 Absolutely.

Speaker 1 Chili football's gravity bong. Fuck.
You're going to have to make it. I'm looking forward to it.
We'll give you directions and you can make it. I can make it? Yes, you can make the gravity bong.

Speaker 1 You have to make it. It's not something that is sold.

Speaker 6 Okay. It'll get you so high.
Yeah.
