Today is Wednesday, June 26th. Do we care we care about the NBA awards I don't really but I do care about people who care about the NBA awards so put it this way wasn't really interested in seeing who won the MVP Giannis when I think that's probably fair right well no most people there's a lot of people who wanted James Harden okay so I didn't really care I think like Giannis yeah good decision basketball player.
But I did start to care once Daryl Morey and the Rockets get involved and they start tweeting out very bitter things about James Harden and his man boobs not winning the NBA MVP. Because then at that point, now it becomes a story.
Daryl Morey did an interview on the red carpet. Well, actually, let me back up.
I don't care because this is the nfl move by the nba to make the awards after everything's done like who cares i i was actually shocked that it was happening i looked on twitter i was like wait we didn't already decide the mvp right i remember the days when we gave out the mvp in the second round and then we had awkward moments when dirk won his mvp after losing in the first round as the one seat that's tough those moments that I remember. I want those moments back.
I don't want a fucking award show on a random Monday in June. This would be a good time for Major League Baseball to do their awards.
Yes. It feels just as appropriate as when they do it.
Major League Baseball does it like over Thanksgiving. They're like, hey, here's who won the Cy Young.
And so they count the awards. They don't include postseason, right? So it doesn't matter what you do after the end of the regular season.
That's already been decided. But mentally, we do as fans.
They've already cast their vote before the postseason starts. But I'm thinking, of course James Harden didn't win it because the Rockets flamed out again.
That makes sense to me. But apparently, that's not how it works.
It's so stupid that they do it this way. They should just do it right before the playoffs.
Get everyone the playoffs get everyone like hey here are the awards for the season uh so the rockets daryl maury on the red carpet trying to like you know put a wet towel on these rumors that chris paul and james harden hate each other that guy i don't know what i don't know who dressed him who got him ready but he looked like he has hasn't in forever. He looks like he hasn't slept.
And he basically had to get in front of everyone and be like, did you hear his speech? You said, why aren't we talking about the Rockets being the Western Conference favorites next year? Why aren't we talking about this? Why isn't anybody having that discussion? Everyone should be. That's such an electric point to bring up right now.
Let's definitely talk about 2020 odds in June. Daryl Morey is like one of those nerds that has tried to like roughen his edges a little bit yeah he to me he looks like if mickey rourke played darren ravelle in a movie right just like if ravelle grew out that stubble got punched in the face a few times in reno and woke up after a bender he that's daryl mori he uh the rockets stuff is so funny to me because chris paul also had a quote that was essentially the I'm not owned, I'm not owned as I shrank the drill tweet.
He said, I never asked for a trade. I never demanded a trade.
I'll be in Houston. I'm happy about that.
I'm very happy about that. I'm good.
I'm very happy about it. I'm not laughing.
I'm laughing. This is so funny.
You guys thinking that me, Chris Paul, notorious, tough person to play with, is not vibing with James Harden, also notorious tough person to play with. That's funny to me, guys.
I'm laughing here. That's a joke.
That's how funny it is. Doesn't the NFL, they do it the night before the Super Bowl? Correct.
I like that. That makes sense.
That's actually the best. So the NFL, say what you want about their schedule because they do the thing where they announce when they're going to announce the schedule for next year.
They're big on announcements of announcements. They basically hand out save the dates all year round.
You're getting saved the dates to put on your refrigerator from the NFL from point A to point Z. With the NFL, at least they do that at an appropriate time.
Right. Black tie affair, night before the Super Bowl.
This is where I get exhausted by this league. And I love the NBA and I love basketball.

But when you have an award show in June, I get exhausted.

And Giannis, I think he should have won MVP.

A lot of people were mad.

I don't really even know what other awards got handed out.

I think Coach Buds won the, so Milwaukee took home Coach of the Year and MVP.

Doc Rivers' reaction to that was great.

Oh, yeah.

He was mad.

Lou Williams won Sixth Man of the Year for like the seventh time in a row, which is hilarious because he's just... Can we just say Lou Williams is awesome? He's the sixth man because he comes off the bench, but he's a starter because he's fucking awesome.
Yeah. He's fresh legs.
That's why they should bring Steph Curry off the bench. We've talked about that.
It's a great award. An impact sub is better than a starter sometimes.
What was Doc Rivers' reaction? Was it the famous gif of him where he just looks puzzled? It was more like angry. It was more like, what the fuck? He thought he was about to walk up to the stage and when they called someone else, he was just like, uh...
He gave like a dirty look and was just like kind of shook his head. I'll say this.
Doc Rivers appeared to be a better coach when he had his son on the team because his son was such like a shithead that if you could squeeze a little bit of blood out of Austin Rivers, then you looked like a fucking genius yes you should not got you should not have gotten rid of one of your worst players i'm looking through the awards right now lifetime achievement magic johnson and larry bird uh genie bus actually answered like for the first time to the media what happened with magic she just essentially said yeah i kind of wish she had told me but magic will be magic so he gets a pass for that house of highlights moment of the year derrick

rose for dropping that 50 burger that's legit uh moment of the year teammate of the year and sportsmanship award of the year mike conley jr won both okay so what does your eight of the year mean i don't know i think it just means like if you're rich and you don't act rich yeah then you get teammate if you buy like everyone dinner yeah you're not showing up your teammates yeah the assist of the year which community assist award bradley beal nice that's good they should just do a single assist of the year yes they should do like dribble of the year assist of the year this league of the year tweet of the year charge of the year yeah emoji of the year something for the referees like call of the year yes good call of the joey crawford comes up and dances and and and does like skips across the stage yeah and then blows his whistle boom they really do need to do take that award yeah i guess that's why we have the takeies yes that is exactly why we have the takey so yeah overall i don't really care about the nba awards i do care about this league coming up for the free agency you know we should do we should have as an award in the takeies the uh the doc rivers of the year and then give it to not Doc Rivers and just see what his reaction is. And get him just even more mad.
Come on! Hank, Kemba Walker is now a quiet suitor for... Stealth.
Stealth suitor for the Celtics or stealth suitor for Kemba Walker. Thoughts? It'd be awesome.
Makes a lot of sense. He's already got some New England roots.
Yukon, he's a bit of a hero already he's a husky he's a husky and he's an amazing player yeah he is he's one of those guys it's like he's played in charlotte so people haven't he might not have got the recognition that some other players have got but he would be great the money though is so the supermax is so silly that's the list this league it's like right it's 221 million dollars i think he can earn with the hornets versus I think 150 or 140 with any other team. Now it's four years versus five years.
So it's not exactly apples to orange, but it's always funny when we hear like, I feel if the Hornets offer him the super max, which they sort of have to do, he's got to take it. Right.
So how do they have to help? The Celtics don't have to like a mystery suitor out of all this. Why weren't we talking about the Celtics last week? I don't know.
I guess because there's interest now and the Celtics like Horford's gone. The Celtics realize that they're probably going to be getting rid of a lot of their money.
So like house. Yeah.
So they don't have to, but it's the, the super max is so fascinating because it essentially was supposed to, it was put in place so that players stay on these teams. Yeah.
But then you get a classic Kemba Walker where Kemba Walker is... And Anthony Davis.
Yeah. Well, Anthony Davis didn't want to get Supermax.
That's why he wanted to trade. But Kemba Walker is like the perfect case of he's good, but he's not Supermax good.
I think they also gave it such a cool term, Supermax, that it's tough to turn down. The have done the hornet should have done the boogie cousins and traded him because if you trade if you trade someone they can't get the supermax that's why boogie cousins didn't want to get traded right and basically almost defend yourself from stupidity yeah like hey kemba walker we really like you but we know we're going to be dumb and offer you 221 million dollars so let's just eliminate this problem wait so then, so then the new team, can they do the Supermax? They can't.
They just take the Supermax off the table entirely. It's voided once you get traded.
Now, what's a Section 10 contract? I'm learning all sorts of these terms from Woj. I don't know what that is.
Woj is tweeting out these bombs, expecting me to understand what a Section 10 contract is. I think that's what Mello's going to get, maybe? There's some contract for Mello.
I don't understand any of these contracts in the NBA. The, hey, Melo seems pretty depressed because he's thrown up jumpers in his gym by himself contract.

Yeah, that's just let him under the table.

Yeah, let him play.

It's like have Carmelo be an intern.

Right, exactly.

A working internship for the Lakers.

I think Kawhi's going to stay in Toronto.

We're going to do a Sunday night.

We're going to do a full recap of this league because we're going to tape after the 6 p.m.

All these things I feel like have been decided. Kyrie is already signed with the Nets.
Yeah, there's been some handshake deals going on. So Kimba, he's kind of like a sane Kyrie, right? He's like a better version of Kyrie Irving that you'd want right now, which is weird to say that because a year and a half ago, Kyrie Irving was the shit.
He was the guy. But then did you see those quotes? Too much YouTube.
I really think it's not just the flat earth thing. I think Kyrie Irving spends an inordinate amount of time on YouTube.
There was this tweet that was the quotes from Kyrie Irving's basically last four or five years where essentially he said that he hated all his teammates and all his coaches at every stop. He wanted to demand a trade if LeBron came back to Cleveland.
Then he couldn't get along with lebron then he couldn't get along with like the celtics and brad stevens like hey man eventually you are the asshole right he should just play in big three right fewer teammates to alienate yeah they beef now though they fight yeah yeah there was a big fight i think it was like roy smith first uh who is it josh harris josh josh josh shooting threes. Josh Smith.
I fucking love Josh Smith because he was just always like, hey, I'm open for three. Always.
So, yeah, we'll get to this league on Sunday when it all breaks. We need to talk about the other this league, and that is the New York Mets being an absolute dumpster fire.
Well, it's a competition between the Mets and the Knicks to see who can be more embarrassing, which I love. Same colors.
Oh, wait. Hold on.
Shout out to the Knicks. The Knicks need credit because the Knicks are at a point where they should get credit for not doing dumb things.
Not taking Chris Paul's contract was the most anti-Knicks Knicks thing that has ever been done. But I don't know if it was their decision not to take that contract.
But they lucked into it. That's a classic Knicks move saying, oh, Chris Paul, he used to be awesome.
Let's take on three years, $40 million a year. We'll sell some tickets at the Garden.
Right. James Dolan just couldn't hear his phone ring because he was jamming with his band.
But they need credit. I'm going to give the Knicks credit when they don't fuck up because I think it's only right.
So now what they've been doing an excellent job at is just keeping their mouth shut while the Mets are the ones that have the entire distraction. Because not only, I guess, the general manager of the Mets is texting in-game roster moves to the manager while he's at home, not even at the stadium.
I love that. Like you're calling in a rules violation at the USGA.
It's wonderful. So this, and now I'm sure Mets fans will tell me I'm way off on here, but I'm going to throw something out there that I feel like this story, it happens, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
When you go down this spiral of every move is, you know, you have a guy try to fight a reporter on Sunday night. You have Mickey Calloway being an absolute idiot.
So when things start to spiral spiral every move gets scrutinized and becomes the dumbest move ever i would guess that most teams not maybe most teams but a lot of teams in in major league baseball actually have this in place where the analytics guys hand the manager a sheet and they're like this is what this is the plan today because a lot of teams do that now where they essentially say here's the plan for what we're going to do and basically takes the decision making out of the manager's hands the fact that it was the gm who used to be an agent who's texting from his house makes it ridiculous and very mets and that's where it becomes haha look at the mets like if he was in the in the stadium i feel like it's not even a story but because he's sitting at home watching on tv and texting these moves it, it's crazy. It is insane that he's doing that.
Like, yeah, I'm sure a lot of teams have an arrangement where they have a direct line from the club suite or whatever. A lot of the analytics guys basically tell the manager what to do at this point.
Exactly. I just say take away their pinstripes.
The Mets just haven't earned their pinstripes in the last, what, 35 years? Yeah, so they had that, and then they had the aforementioned Jason Vargas, Mickey Calloway trying to fight a, was it Newsday? I didn't even know Newsday was still around. Newsweek? Newsmax.
Journalist. Essentially, now, here's the story, and I actually kind of side with Mickey Calloway here.
Hear me out. They lose a heartbreaker to the Cubs.

The Cubs win, you know, I think Javi Baez hit a home run

like the eighth inning to win that game.

And essentially, Mickey Calloway got dressed

and was walking out of his office.

And the Newsday reporter, Newsweek, whatever, said,

see you tomorrow, which is the classic, like, oh, half day.

Move that the asshole in the office pulls.

Like, oh, taking it off early, you know, at 5.15.

You literally say that every time somebody well yeah as a joke to do that right you're being an ironic asshole correct gotcha it's like the open bar totally different yeah like hey let me buy you a beer yeah an open bar classic right so he he does that and i think that i i have mickey cowboys back there i think that would piss me off i yeah i kind of with that, too. And if you look at what's going on in our country as a whole, you're allowed to body slam journalists.
True. You get one a year and you can still get elected to the Senate.
Now, Jason Vargas is a different story because essentially the way I read it, he just stared at the reporter. And then when the reporter noticed that they were locking eyes, he just said, I will knock you the fuck out.
I that that's a that is a that's a ryan leaf classic junior seo having to break up ryan leaf trying to fight a reporter in the san diego chargers lock here's the problem though if you're going to threaten a reporter you can't let the reporter leave without getting into the physical altercation because what do you think they're going to do they're a reporter and a report they're going to report it right so you need to you need to make hay while the sun shines so to speak you need to you have those basically five to ten minutes to kick his ass to kick a reporter's ass yes yep and then he apologized but didn't apologize so i have that right and then had to go back and apologize yeah he did a fake apology and then i guess somebody else told him wait you're stick around your real apology is coming we did like a sorry not sorry and then people on twitter freaked the the fuck out and then they basically made him come back out and we're like, you actually have to say sorry. Oh, that's so good.
So the Mets, I mean, this is... It really does spiral fast.
One word speaking of spiral fast. Yeah.
Tebow. Tebow will fix it all.
You need it. How much more clear can the opportunity get for the New York Mets?

Your entire team is falling apart.

Your fucking manager's threatening to fight reporters.

You've got a general manager that's cucking your manager.

Everything's going to hell in a handbasket.

There's one clear pathway out of this, and that's Tim Tebow.

Why don't they make Tebow the manager?

Because he can't hit a baseball.

Right.

He won't ever threaten to fight a reporter.

Right. He'll just threaten to circumcise him, worst- case scenario.
That would be good to have Tebow be the manager and just have him take all the heat. Yeah.
Listen, bring Tebow up in whatever capacity. But not as a baseball player.
Yeah. He's terrible.
Manager slash leadoff hitter. Maybe.
No, kind of like when a team gets like the Angels got the rally monkey or the cricket that the Royals had a few years ago. Just have Tebow maybe carry around a dog bone and be like, hey, it's Timmy, our stray dog.
Or just put Tim Tebow in a cage in center field. Yes.
And then just take like a curtain off the cage whenever you're down by two runs late in the ball game. Build a Devil Ray tank and have him just swim laps in the center field.
Like, Tim, you're actually just training for the Olympics next year in Japan. Yeah, no, it'll just be like an AstroTurf area with a tire that he can flip over.
Yes, yes. And box jumps that he can do.
These are good ideas. That's a rally, Tebow.
These are good ideas. Okay, let's get to our hot seat, cool throne.
Before we do that, if you want to watch Julian Edelman, who's very attractive,

And thank you everyone for listening and reaching out.

We appreciate you guys appreciating it.

Appreciate the appreciation.

Appreciate you.

Yeah.

Tebow.

Hot seat,

cool throne.

Hank,

start.

My hot seat is the Warriors training staff.

So obviously since the Durant injury,

there's been rumors about how Durant was like rip shit over the Warriors

training staff for kind of lying to him and telling him that the injury

wasn't as bad.

And you wouldn't,

wouldn't have to worry about getting it re-injured if he came back, which he obviously did. Then Iguodala went on The Breakfast Club today and he basically revealed himself that he had a fractured leg in the 2018 playoffs, but that was kept under wraps and downplayed to the media.
And he also said the Warriors priced their real fans out. So he took some shots.
Damn. And he really fueled the fire that the Warriors training staff is a little sketchy and just looks after themselves.
Well, I think that's true. They definitely did price a lot of the local fans out.
Yeah. I don't think that was.
They moved to San Francisco. Yeah.
Yeah. There you go.
Right there. Yeah.
They only sold seats to partial owners that were going to abuse players at the court side. The staff thing is real though if you get a bad training staff if you get the mark of a bad training staff bad medical team i feel like that that has a lot like the sons essentially got free agents and guys for a while there because everyone said wow their training staff was amazing right and so it's the reverse with the training staff that takes advantage of guys.
And then you have the whole Kawhi load management. Oh, man, the Raptors did a great job with his load management this year.
And then the reverse of the team that lost to him saying they basically run the guys into the ground. And like a rumor is a rumor.
But when Iguodala says, I myself, I was injured. I knew what I had.
And they basically I'm telling you that they tried to keep it under wraps and downplayed it to the media. That basically confirms what they did to Durant.
But doesn't that happen in every other sport where somebody has an injury? Like in hockey, it happens all the time. You don't want to let your opponent know exactly where you're weak at, right? They want your opponent to be thinking that Iggy could come back any given day.
It's just a bone disease. True, but the problem is obviously Kevin Durant, if they did actually tell him there's no chance that he could re-injure it more yeah then it becomes a big deal that is a very big deal right there i'm speaking for like iggy at that as that one like specific example also steph curry gets injured every single year maybe it was actually maybe he's never injured maybe he's never injured and they just keep misdiagnosing him do they just say that you're injured when he feels totally healthy.
Yeah. And then he's like, oh, I got to sit out today.
Right. He just has small ankles.
They're just Dr. Nick for the Simpsons.
They just everything they get wrong, both good and bad. They went to Oakland Upstairs Medical College.
What's your cool throne, Hank? You're up. Ooh.
I'm up? You're up. Oh.
You're up. You're up.
They swept the NBA major awards. Greek MVP, French Defensive Player of the Year, Slovenian Rookie of the Year.
And Toronto won the NBA title. Yeah.
It's the most European country in North America. Europe.
So, yeah, Europe's on the cool throne. I guess you could have put America on the hot seat, but I needed a cool throne, so I put Europe there.
Okay. That's tough.
Tough look for a stateside. Fuck.
We got to take basketball back. But that means we finished second.
Yes. And we'll cross the board.
So we finished first. So we finished first on aggregate.
Okay. What do you got at PFT? My hot seat is Big Ballers.
Yeah. All Big Ballers are on the hot seat because LeVar Ball is no longer allowed to be featured on ESPN anymore after he made the mistake of hitting on Molly Kiram on the air, as opposed to everybody else there that hits on her off the air.
So, tough break for Big Ballers. Jalen Rose is married to her.
I'm aware. I'm fully aware.
But yeah, this is a tough look for Big Ballers. There were no warning signs that something like this was going to happen, where maybe he was going to be a loose cannon and say something inappropriate on the air.
It's fine when you do it to a Cuomo brother, but when you start doing Tamalicurum, it's an issue. When Stephen A.
Smith gives you the stink eye. Yeah, when Stephen A.
Smith is like, this man is too horny for me to be sitting next to. You have a problem that you need to address.
That's too far. You're too horny.
My other hot seat is the new Sunday Night Football song. So the, oh, Sunday night.
You know, the one that we finally got around to acknowledging? Yep. They're being sued for using that song because it's too much of a ripoff of another song.
Which is? I forget the name of the other song. Yes.
Dang. No, it is Vanilla Ice Ice Baby.
Got it. Because it has the, oh, Sunday night.
Yeah, so I'm thinking they're going to bring back Waiting All Day for Sunday Night.

I think they have to go back to the hits, right? Hell yes. That'd be amazing.
I've been waiting all day for Waiting All Day for Sunday Night. Same.
Yeah. Same.
That would be nice. So we got our fingers crossed for that.
My cool throne is Earth. because Jim Ursa, a famous philanthropist,

he just donated, I want to say, $5 million plus to a charity called Earth. Hang on.
What is it called? Client Earth. So it's a group of lawyers that sue for environmental causes.
And Jim Ursa did this by buying two guitars at auction. One, he bought a six string acoustic from Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd, the one that he used to record that song for $900,000.
And he bought the Black Strat for over $4 million. Nice.
So I think we've addressed this before, but it's worth mentioning again, that Jim Irsay actually believes that every guitar that's ever been played contains the music that has been played on in the past so he actually thinks that one day scientists will be able to extract the original sound of wish you were here out of that instrument now that he has it i don't see where he's wrong no i don't either yeah but yeah so he spent five million dollars he's addicted to guitars he is i think he's got like 300 guitars. Jesus Christ.
All right. My hot seat is Cam Newton.

So you saw it, the video.

Cam Newton offering $1,500 cash to someone sitting in first class on a flight to France.

Was it even first class?

I think it was just... Extra leg room?

Extra leg room.

Yeah.

Okay.

He's a coach killer.

So the hot seat is because Cam Newton, no one ever would do that deal. You have to offer $20,000, $30,000.
I don't even know if I would still do that because when you mentally get ready for a flight that far, you can't give up any kind of extra perks or anything. You can't go backwards.
You cannot. I would say a little bit less than that depending on how big the individual in question was.
Now, if it were me, I'd probably, I'd consider it if he came at me with like $5,000 as a starting price. But I will say that if you are like a Falcons fan, or if you're a Saints fan, and Cam Newton comes up to you to ask you this favor, this is like the moment of your life.
This is the best possible best possible scenario where you get you're essentially tackling cam newton yeah you're punking cam newton and it's a story he could offer you fifty thousand dollars a hundred thousand dollars and you would be like no just so you could say like i inconvenienced him on this trip across the atlantic i'm the guy who said no to cam newton cam newton is made or is going to make 140 million dollars currently or he's made 104 million104 million currently. He has to offer $50,000.
Or at least throw in that coat that looks like it's made out of Dalmatians. Yeah, or maybe the little Lucky Rabbit thing that he's got.
Yeah. If you have the Pharrell hat, give me the Pharrell hat.
The real problem is Cam Newton should have just not gone on that flight. Just said, wait, I have 16C.
Okay, I i'll just wait till tomorrow my people just go and book me a real seat on this flight so this was the problem because it was a replacement flight so this was the one that he got moved on to which is why he didn't have the extra i still wouldn't go listen vince young had it all figured out vince young to his credit he would just charter an entire commercial Southwest. Does Southwest fly to France? Sure.
Suisse. Sure.
Le Suisse. There's no first class on Southwest, but sure.
That's right. Well, everybody's first class on Southwest.
And no one is. Everyone.
If everyone is, no one is. Everyone is.
All right. My other hot seat is the Walendas.
I fucking hate those people. That's all I wanted to say.
Me too. I'm so sick of them.
Agreed. And the sister.
They make me watch to think that somebody's going to fall and then you get strapped in. They're on straps and those sisters singing about glory to God the whole time because, you know, really God cares about you being an idiot and walking on a high wire over Times Square.
Shut up. Yeah.
Do you think if God had an option of whose life to save, the rich lady that was walking 50 stories above Times Square, hooked onto a harness, putting her life in danger, or like an orphan in Syria that was trying to hide from cluster bombs? Which one do you think God would choose? Fuck the Willendez. So sick of them.
And it is bullshit that you watch it and you're just hoping. And it's probably on a tape delay.
So even if they did fall, we wouldn't get to see it. The whole thing sucks.
The next time they do it, they're going to do a fake cut to commercial to make you think that somebody died. That's smart.
All right. My cool throne is integrated ads because this league has now gone, has sold out.
And we have our good friend, Blake Griffin, who's up for Blake of the Year. Is this Breaking Moose that you're doing right now? Oh, yeah.
Is it Breaking Moose? No. No, it's not Breaking Moose.
Blake Griffin, who's up for Blake of the Year, tweeted, Hey, Boogie Cousins, unlike Paul Pierce, I score number twos in the basket and not on the court. Hashtag Softlike Charmin, hashtag Charmin partner.
And then Boogie Cousins went back with the beef and said, Paul Pierce, ask my two gold medals who the real amateurs are.

Damn, two gold medals.

Fuck.

And Blake Griffin, a Soft Lake Charmin Award might look good in your empty trophy case.

Damn.

Really went after Blake.

So and then the best part about the whole thing was they went, you know, it was very clearly a toilet paper ad. And everyone was tweeting back.

And Kendrick Perkins replied and said, hold up.

Did I miss something?

So he just didn't realize that it was an ad. But he got involved in it.
He got involved. He was ready to beef.
Kendrick Perkins could actually get involved in these ads because him and Nick Wright's bets are just ridiculous where they eat a shitload of food. Yes.
So that would be a perfect opportunity for a sponsorship from a toilet paper company. I just love that everyone knows it's an ad, and then Kendrick Perkins over the top is like, wait, we beefing.
Yeah. Perk doesn't know what hashtag ad means.
He just thinks it's like hashtag AD. Yeah.
Also, RJ Barrett pulled the classic on his Instagram stories, posts with hashtag NBA awards, Indochino and ad. Which, by the way, is way better.
Way better to do that. Way better.
If you're ever going to do an integrated ad like that, just straight up pull the Deshaun Jackson and just copy and paste the entire thing.

Always.

And you'll get so much more engagement.

Always.

Okay, let's get to our interview with Julian Edelman.

I used to think that sandwiches were just, you know, basic.

Until I realized how easy it is to level them way up.

It's all about starting with the best ingredients.

Lately, I've been obsessed with this sandwich.

Boar's Head Ever roast chicken, a little smoked gouda, arugula, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze on toasted ciabatta. Just a few simple swaps and suddenly it feels like something that I'd order at a fancy cafe.
And that's why I always go for Boar's Head. The quality, the craftsmanship, the fresh premium flavors that turn an everyday sandwich into something next level.
So if you're tired of the same old lunch, try upgrading with Boar's Head. Head to the deli counter, grab your favorites, and see just how easy it is to make every bite amazing.
Discover the craftsmanship behind every bite at your local Boar's Head deli counter. You know that one sandwich you always crave? The one that just hits every single time? For me, it's a simple yet perfect combination.
Boar's Head Oven Gold Turkey. Sliced thin, piled high on fresh sourdough, with sharp cheddar, crisp lettuce, tomato, a little honey mustard, and just a touch of mayo.
Simple, but the flavors, unreal. And that's the thing.
When you start with quality ingredients, you don't need to do much. Boar's Head is my go-to because every bite tastes like it was made just for me.
Premium cuts, incredible flavor, and that perfect balance of freshness. So next time you're at the deli, do yourself a favor.
Ask for Boar's Head and build your ultimate sandwich. Trust me, you'll taste the difference.
Head to your local Boar's Head Deli and experience the craftsmanship behind every bite. And here he is, Julian Edelman.
Okay, we now welcome on recurring guest, Super Bowl MVP. T-shirt? Do I get a t-shirt? Oh yeah, a recurring guest t-shirt.
I'll be waiting for it. Okay, so Super Bowl MVP.
Since the last time you were on, you've won a Super Bowl MVP. It is Julian Edelman of the New England Patriots.
Also a new contract. And he's got a Showtime special.
What is this thing? 100%? A documentary. Okay.
So it's a documentary. One night? One night.
One night. One night.
Didn't want to do a miniseries. 70 minutes.
Are we going to be in it? Because I remember there was a camera crew that was tracking your recovery when we went to interview you that one time. What was that, like a year and a half ago or something like that? You guys could be in it.
Oh, wow. You're just saying that.
You could be in it. You're just trying to get it.
If you were smart, you'd put us in it so that we'd tweet about it because we're narcissistic. Very much.
You guys are in it. Okay.
No way. There's no way we're in it.
I'm just letting you know you're in it. All right.
So Julian's here 100%. Watch it Showtime on Thursday night.
Thursday night. Thursday night.
Friday. Friday.
Friday. Friday.
28. 28.
9 o'clock. 9 o'clock Friday night.
It's going to be awesome. Pre-game.
It's a pre-game type. Pre-game.
Pre-game. Pre-game movie.
While you're watching 100%. Yes.
Pre-game while you're watching 100%. Okay.
So it's good to see you, man. It's's good to see you man it's been a while great to see we had you on a couple it was about a year and a half ago when you were rehabbing your injury let's start with uh the super bowl and mvp do you have you noticed like a big difference in winning a super bowl the first two that you won and then winning a super bowl mvp because i feel like you've been out there lot more.
Not really, honestly. I mean, I think I've probably been out the same.
Okay. You know, I've done a documentary about you this time.
Yeah, but that was going on before we started filming that, like right after the injury in 2017. But, I mean, I guess there's a little more to it.
You're a little busier, but I don't know. I just black out after each offseason.
Yeah, me too. You know what I mean? You get so focused about the season, you just forget about all of those stuff.
So how soon after injury were you like, I'm going to milk this, I'm going to make some money off of it and make a documentary out of it? So I'll tell you the real tell you the real story. We were going to, the year before,

we were going to have cameras around all playoffs,

the year that we won the Super Bowl against Atlanta.

And I chickened out.

I was like, I don't want this.

I don't want to mess with my routine.

You know, kind of superstitious with all that.

I want everything focused on football.

And so after we won the Super Bowl, my boy, a soft comes to me me because that would have been a real good documentary to have yeah you think yeah yeah think um and so i was like you know you can't do that whatever uh and then i got hurt and he came and came up to me and said you know all these people want to do a documentary on your recovery this that and we decided take the opportunity to do our opportunity to do it ourselves, make our own one. So that's what we did.
That's awesome. And we will be in it because we did go up and see you while you were rehabbing and interviewed you then.
So the actual Super Bowl itself, were you shocked at any point? Were you like, did they not know that Tom's going to throw it to me all these times? You were open on every play, and that's your own doing a lot of the times.

But it felt like they were like, hey, we're just going to not cover Julian Edelman.

I don't even know how to answer that.

I just tried to do my job, get open and catch the ball.

Sometimes our offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels did a good job of moving me around to get matchups and we just kind of went with it. You're doing a Belichick speech.
Yeah, you are. I just did my job.
Did you expect to be that open during the game? I mean you always expect to be open when you have your number called. See, this is Belichick speech.
I mean it goes back to the KC, too. I wanted to talk about that.
I tried to – we almost lost that because of me. Right, but the Patriots also had that thing where when you do Madden and you find that one pass over the middle that your buddy can't guard and you just keep running it, that was to you over the middle, over and over and over, and the Chiefs just couldn't guard it.
Hey, we had a couple different coverages. We had a couple different plays.
You can't do this the whole interview. No, I won't do it the whole interview, but when it has anything to do with football, I'll probably end up doing this so I don't get mother-effed by my coach.
Okay, how about this? What was the one play from the Super Bowl that you made that maybe us fat-sos at home watching the game on the couch't pick up on as being like the key play of the game for you that you went back and saw on film like that one that you showed I forget what game it was probably in the Super Bowl against the Falcons where you hit that little chip block on the guy and woke you up a little bit what was that play this year that you remember from the game that maybe we didn't notice there was a play where I went in on the force again and you know I tried to lay a little wood and I forgot who it was but he he came and brought it to and it woke me up too I think it was early in the series early in the game we were trying to run the ball and then you know they were stuffing the box I mean that was a good defense we can't just sit there and say you know we won that game full outright mean, they had a defensive line that was insane. So, like, it kind of affected everything.
And then they were bringing guys in the box, and we were trying to do the other things. And, you know, we ended up putting in a play that we hadn't ran for so long.
And it just so happened to be a play where I go and drop in for the force. And, you know, that was kind of those types of plays that helped.
Do you like running the ball? I do sometimes. Because you guys kind of changed it.
The Patriots kind of changed what, I mean, that's what Belichick does better than anyone is changes even midseason. You guys became a power running team for a while there.
Yeah, I think, you know, each week you're trying to learn yourself. You know, I've said this before.
You don't know what kind of team you are in September. You could be a completely different team going into December,

depending on, you know, the strengths of your team, the weaknesses of your team,

what's going on in the league, what people are playing against you.

So, you know, it's definitely, you know, I definitely like running the ball

because we've got guys that are good with the ball in their hand.

You know, you've got Rex, Sony, Sweet Feet.

You know, it's a Sony, Sweet Feet.

James White.

James White.

Wisconsin, baby.

That's a cool nickname.

He's got some sweet feet.

We've got every Wisconsin running back who does anything good in the NFL I have to talk about all the time to try to change the narrative

from the guys that didn't do anything in the NFL.

Well, he's done a lot.

He's done a lot.

Melvin Gordon and him.

15 catches?

Yeah.

Ron Dane.

That's what we're trying to change.

Thunder and Lightning.

That's why I've got to talk about the good guys.

Actually,

Thank you. Thank you.
You didn't go to any classes in the last year? Did you? Yeah. We had to do online classes and talk.
We? So talk me through that. We did online classes.
Talk me through the we doing online classes. You guys are clowns.
You know, I had to do online classes. I had to do online classes, right?

And then, you know, we did this.

Well, I have a huge team.

Yeah, right, right. So then I had to put together, you know, a paper and all these, you know, organizations that I worked with.

And, you know, we got it done.

Yeah, we got it done.

So you had to write a paper?

You had to do like a bibliography, all thatla format oh wow it was tough yeah so what did you major in uh general studies with the concentration in marketing management nice okay so who's a more famous kent state alumni you or gun girl who i would say michael keaton oh i didn't know that drew Drew Carey.

and they're before every big game, I think you're addicted to hype videos because, correct me if I'm wrong, you watch your own hype videos, what, 50 times, 100 times before each game? I like to watch a good hype video. I mean, I grew up watching Rocky IV montage and literally right before I would go out to football practice or a night before a game and get me fired up and music, working out, storyline in such a a short amount of time you can't go wrong i'd like to imagine that you act you sit down on a thursday night and you're the one that's editing together it's so hard like using final cut c c plus plus and all these other things you know we actually use the real deal out there yeah do you the one hype video that i noticed that was the um shit what was oh it's before the super bowl when it was the flashbacks to the rams patriots the first one and what was that what was the theme of that one it was like uh something about time or something whatever you do you're doing a good job we appreciate it was tough getting in the cartoon business you know we started doing cartoon hype videos and you know what's up i know i know but i was just telling him yeah how many how many times you watch each type video for real probably three times three or four times before the game right before no not before the game i have i have a playlist that i go through what's on that go ahead uh let's see yeah read us this playlist you save them you have mixtapes it's called game playlist okay You should make that public so that.
Let's see. Yeah.
Read us this playlist. You save them? You have mixtapes?

It's called Game Playlist.

Okay.

You should make that public so that people can find it on Spotify.

I think you can.

Do we have it?

Don't make it public yet.

Let the interview run so everyone will be like, oh, my God, you won't believe.

Five songs you won't believe are on Julian Edelman's playlist.

All four.

F plus L.

Point, point.

Okay.

A lot of Hans Zimmer.

I like the soundtrack of Interstellar, so I have Stay by that.

That's hilarious And they come back Oh he gets back and it's been like 10 seconds he's like yo i've been waiting for you time is relevant relevant bro it's third dimension so stupid okay i got a little bookshelf scene yeah oh my god she's sitting in the dust in the bookshelf oh my god morse code Morse code. I mean, okay.
What else you got? I got a Tennessee stud by Johnny cash.

Okay. In the dust in the bookshelf.
Oh, my God. Morse code.
Morse code. I mean.
Sticks.

Okay.

What else you got?

I got Tennessee Stud by Johnny Cash.

Okay.

Little three-peat by Lil Wayne.

Okay.

Real Friends.

What's that like when Lil Wayne is out there, like, potentially making songs about you,

though?

Because, like, the whole black and yellow thing, like, he's a big sports fan.

So there's a chance that Lil Wayne's sitting down actually, like, writing songs about Julianman that's gotta be weird I haven't heard one yeah not yet so he hasn't got a Patriots song yet yeah a lot of you know how it is people don't like us people don't like is that I mean Tom Brady will get Tom will get his name in there Gronk everyone else we're just kind of do you like the hate do you like that people don't like you? I kind of do, yeah, I guess. I mean, when you're doing something good and people hate you and you're getting hated on, I mean, it means you're doing something right.
Yeah. Is there ever, like, a little bit of you that's like, come on, I work really hard, we're a very successful team, we do things the right way, show us a little bit of love? Like, it's nice to be liked.
I can imagine in your position, it's nice to prove haters wrong. That's a good feeling.
But there's got to be a little party that's like, come on, we're doing everything the right way. A little bit of love would be all right.
I mean, we get enough love from our fan base. A lot of people respect us.
They may hate us, but they respect us. I'm not here to change feelings.
I'm here to go out and try to win football games. Is there a part of you that, like being around Tom Brady, that you start to feel ageless? No.
Because, I mean, sometimes I look at him and I say, he looks pretty young. Right.
You know, it's remarkable. I don't feel ageless.
But when he's, like, basically getting out there every year, what's he going to be, 42 this year? 41, 42? 42, maybe 43. Yeah, 43 maybe.
Has there ever been a moment? Does he complain ever about being like, man, I feel old today? It's crazy. At this point, it's crazy, and it's crazy that it hasn't been talked about even more that we are now getting to the point where he's like almost mid-s and still doing this you know what he he's like the exact opposite he's mr positive all the time like feel feel great babe man i feel my arm feels great babe you just gotta work out you know what i mean like he's uh he's all about his his lifestyle that tb12 thing and you know it works for him and that's that's that's why he's the goat yeah um has he gotten you on his weird diets yet i tried it and i mean i was so hungry all the time because he eats like a deer yeah nuts and berries so weird it's i need some beef yeah some protein it sucks how good he is media, too, because he's a guy that stayed off Twitter for the longest time, and he got on, and all of a sudden he gets all the jokes immediately, which makes me think that he had a burner, that he was lurking for a while.
Can you confirm? I cannot confirm, but it is so funny to see the 180 with him on this because I was 10 years ago, 11 years ago in 2009. I was like the first kid in the room with like Twitter and Instagram and stuff.

And I'd be on my phone and he'd yell at me,

get out of your phone, bro, and get in your playbook.

And like now he gets back.

I'll literally, I'll be on the internet

and he'll be liking photos that were posted 10 minutes ago.

Like how did that even get liked? Yeah. He's always scanning the gram.
Yeah, he's peeping the gram. What's up with Gronk? Is he really retired? I mean, I think so.
I think so. Yeah, that didn't sound super convincing to me.
Honestly, I don't know, man. My guy's having some fun right now.
He's enjoying it and um you know he's he's taking a lot of hits he's taking he takes a beating he's six foot seven anytime he falls that's three and a half feet did you have that conversation with him before he announced his retirement at any point in the last year or two like hey man this is starting to add up a little bit or my body doesn't feel the same way it did five years ago uh you know we never had that conversation um but you know you you could just tell that my guy was you know he was feeling it a little bit here and there and you know he's he's got banged up see he's he's he's a genius because what he did was he basically retired so that he doesn't have to listen to Coach Belichick for like six months and then he can come back in November and play the stretch run in the playoffs. Well, I'm a fan for it.
So you want him to come back. I mean, he's a valuable player.
Yeah. Did you notice over the last couple years that maybe in the middle of the season football was getting less fun for him him? Was there less of that, like, Gronk, I'm a yellow lab puppy, and I'm friends with everybody, and I'm bouncing around all the time? Like, was he feeling it over the course of the last couple seasons? Sometimes, I mean, when you're banged up, football's not always fun, and I can speak for myself on that.
And when you're dealing with things, you know ankle foot this back you know it's it's football is amazing when you feel great but when you have to go out people don't realize our practices are like mini games like just the constant cutting the revving up and we practice outdoors so it's in the freezing cold like that's not easy especially when you get older and you've accumulated a lot of injury um so you started seeing that my you know that that that he didn't necessarily you know it was you know it was tougher i mean it gets tougher for everyone i mean it's tougher for me uh you know just get out every day and rev up and uh you know that's when the hype video comes so yeah that's when i throw out the hype video and then i get i just get fucking fired up like a bat out of hell what big cat's getting at is that you need to give us a percentage we're in the percentage business so rob gronkowski comes back this year at some point what are we talking about like 60 percent 40 70 a percentage yeah that he will come back uh you had to guess this isn't rob this is you yeah just guess this is actually just three guys i'll give you my guess first i'm gonna say 35 chance all right what's yours i mean i'm gonna say 69 just because it's rob yeah yeah i'd say maybe an 11 chance whoa you're doing your're doing your own number. Your own number.
Oh, I've got to talk a documentary about myself. 100% guy.
By the way, here's a question. I had someone write all my papers for me at Kent State.
I wrote this the second you got the MVP. Are you a bad teammate for not giving Tom Brady your MVP trophy? No.
He's the leader of the team. You always talk about you're always so effusive with your praise, saying that you wouldn't be Julian if it wasn't for Tom Brady.
I mean, if he asked for it, I would give it to him. I mean, I didn't get the trophy right after.
Did you get a car? No. Really? Terrible.
I think this is the first year they didn't give a car out. That sucks.
Shit. Yeah.
I wanted to give it to my pop. You went to Disney World? Went to Disney World.
Nice. Oh, speaking of your dad, I saw your Father's Day post.
Yeah. You probably were the first person in the history of Instagram who thirst trapped his Father's Day post.
Did you do that? It was absurd. I mean, it was absurd.
You're like, happy Father's Day to my dad. Wouldn't be here without him.
And it's just you shirtless, flexing, catching balls, and then one brief second of your dad, like, in the frame. You thirst-strapped your Father's Day post.
Just trying to be daddy. Did you know? I mean, I have a theory, too a theory too because you know we're friends and i

follow you on on all your social media when you start growing your beard during the season you don't think you look as hot so then when you get in the off season and you got that movie star stubble it's selfie it's selfie city for you all off season it's that's off too far from the truth I mean, you do have like the greatest movie star stubble of all time.

That beard gets lonely in that thing. The beard is a good look for football season because it's like a nice gritty look.
It's like I'm here to catch balls first. Exactly.
And then the offseason comes by and you're like, oh, I'm hanging out with Mark Wahlberg. I've got to trim it up a little bit.
By the way, I heard that Mark was pissed at you. Is that true? I guess he's a little mad.
What happened? He wanted to be, you know, he wanted to produce my doc. And, you know, he didn't.
Got some beef going. Damn.
No beef with him. He's the older bro.
Okay. We've interviewed him.
I know. I've seen it.
I listen, guys. Yeah, I know you do.
You do actually listen all the time because, yeah, you do. So I have a real question for you.

Deep down.

So these have all been fake.

All fake.

Here's the real one.

Deep down in places you don't want to talk about,

because I'm always fascinated with this with professional athletes.

Win a Super Bowl, tear your ACL, Patriots lose the Super Bowl,

come back, win a Super Bowl.

Is there a little deep down part of you that's like yep that's me I'm the guy uh I mean you're not rooting against the Patriots I know you'd never do that but it's like a very it's it's something that I think every inner competitor has to at least like acknowledge that there's something there where when you can't be out there helping your team it feels different i mean you just you feel lonely you know when you're not playing um you you don't feel like you're a part of the team especially when you're hurt because you're not contributing uh physically um you know so it was definitely tough to watch but I don't think by any means did I have in the back of my mind they lost this one, so let's go out and win this one, show everyone it's because I wasn't playing it. So I don't think so.
But it's okay if other people say that. What do you mean? If we're to be like the legacy of this Patriots team is they're not a complete team a complete team without julian edelman is the straw that stirs the drink you're okay with us saying that no i you know there's a whole lot of good guys on that team honestly you obviously can't fully like go into this question because you are a patriot and uh there's always a red dot right in the middle of your head like with a a sniper, right, at all times.
But I do find it fascinating that you win a Super Bowl, you go out for a year, the Patriots fall short, and then you come back and you win a Super Bowl. That's got to feel at least, and you can't say it, but I'll say it for you, at least a little good being like, yeah, I'm very, very important to what's going on here.
You can say that. We're all important to the team.
We all need to do our jobs. Could you imagine if I took a month paternity leave and the podcast just tanked and then I came back and it was like, boom, back to one? I'd be like, this is awesome.
It would. It would.
It's a natural feeling. I think it's a natural human reaction.
It's a natural human reaction. Yeah, natural.
To just be like, I want to be important. I want to help the team so much they like i missed an interview with alex smith last year and then he broke his leg yeah and then i was like if i had been on an interview he definitely would be fine and people were like that was the best interview that's ever been done on this show no one said that but he did break his leg that's a fact i don't remember i don't even remember it because you weren't on there yeah there you go boom uh the ratings must have been down.
They tank. They absolutely tank.

Serious question about

the new pass interference rules that are

coming in. I don't even know them.
They're going to review

everything, basically.

So everything is up for review.

What happened was New Orleans fans complained

a lot about that one call at the

end of the game against the Rams, which, by the way,

I think if I'm Sean McVay,

I would have much rather have lost that game a close game against the Saints, like, by the way, I think if I'm Sean McVay, I would have much rather have lost that game, a close game, against the Saints, like put up 30 points or whatever, and then not even had to go to the Super Bowl and get my ass whooped by the Patriots. I think he would have been better off in that situation.
But yeah, I think that the new pass interference rules, Belichick's going to have some weird insight into them. He's going to coach you up in a special way to take advantage because he's so good at finding out these new rule changes and slightly modifying to get an edge.
We'll do business as business is being done. This sounds like a job for Ernie.
Yeah. Ernie Master? Yeah.
I mean, it could be. Anything you could tell us that Ernie gave you this year? Like one little tip that he pulled you aside and was like, hey, Jules, make sure you do this against this team.
He doesn't necessarily give you tips. I ask him questions, you know, on defenses, because he knows all the numbers.
Like he legitimately has like photogenic memory. So I'd be like, yo, Ernie, on third down in the red area, when they're down four points, like, what do we expect this team to do? You know, and he'll rattle off this, this, this, this.
And then if you throw a player at him, be like, yo, what's this guy like? He goes, you know, he doesn't use his arms. You know, he's just information.
That's what he is. And I think that's – honestly, I think that's what he does for Coach.

So he will get the pass interference.

Yeah, Ernie has definitely locked himself in like a panic room.

My guy knows every rule, regulation.

I mean, it's pretty –

He's rule guy.

Yeah.

Rule guy, history guy, statistic guy.

He's pretty smart.

Does he have any other hobbies?

Does he like any other sports?

I don't know. guy, statistic guy.
He's pretty smart. Does he have any other hobbies?

Does he like any other sports?

I don't think so.

I honestly, I don't know.

I sit next to him sometimes when he brings a big ass tomato and he just eats that

for his whole meal.

It's like the Kawhi Apple

Band story that was made up. He just

eats a full tomato. It's like the opposite of Tom Brady too, right? Doesn't Tom Brady not eat tomatoes? I think that's on the no-no list.
So does Ernie go to every single practice, or does he only come down like once a week when he's got something? Ernie's there for everything. Ernie, he's like a set of eyes on everything.

He's Bill's right-hand man.

I'm always fascinated by Patriots receivers too because it seems like you get –

there have been a lot of receivers that have thought

that they would go to the Patriots later on in their careers,

maybe get that chip.

You've got like Reggie Wayne was there for like a day.

Ocho Cinco obviously was there for a full season.

But you get a lot of guys that on paper should be awesome wide receivers that for whatever reason they just never get it when it comes to the Patriots. And obviously you guys drafted – who's the dude from Arizona State? Yes, sir.
Harry. Nikhil? Yeah.
So when you get a new receiver like that, how long does it take for you guys on the field to be like, all right, this guy's going to work or this guy's not going to work? You know, it depends on the player. You've got to find your niche.
You know, if you're a guy that can play a lot of positions, that can adjust on the fly, you know, that can read coverage and do all those types of things because we do so much, you're going to have a better chance of succeeding in our system. If you're a guy that can only do one thing, run a go ball, it's going to be tough just because we have so many things that adjust every single play.
Coach looks for smart, tough football players. That's what he says every day.
He wants a smart, tough football player. So I'm not saying any of the guys that you said were not or implying any of that.
It's just, you know, sometimes it's hard to play here. It's hard to play here.
It's not like you have, you know, Wednesday kind of get warm like we're practicing hard every day and um you know it's mentally physically and emotionally draining to play for the Patriots what about uh Josh Gordon do you think he's gonna come back he's been he's been uh videotaped playing with with Tom Brady were you there I was not there you were not there. So do you think he might have a little return here? You know, I hope.
You know, I'm wishing for the best. You know, with his situation, it's different.
It's a life situation, and you're pulling for him for that, you know, to get better. And selfishly, I want him because he's a really good football player and he can help us.
I don't know anything going into it. Like, legit, I've asked 30 people in the organization outside, like, do you know what's going to happen? And no one knows not one thing.
So we're just kind of sitting and waiting to see if uh what this what the circumstances are going to be with him because you know he'd be a he'd be a really good tool to have yeah i did i did a bad job as an interviewer there because you said something interesting that i wanted to ask a follow-up for you were talking about how it's mentally physically draining to play for the patriots do you you we've seen it with lane johnson who actually that all happened on our show lane johnson saying you know he'd rather have fun do you think playing for the Patriots. We've seen it with Lane Johnson, who actually, that all happened on our show.

Lane Johnson saying he'd rather have fun.

Do you think playing for the Patriots is fun at any time,

or is it just that winning is fun?

I think celebrating parades and going out and going to Disneyland

and coming here to talk about championships is very fun. Right, but if you didn't have that, I guess a better way to ask the question.
Is it always fun trying to research guys and come up with questions and grind here at four in the morning for your upcoming? It's a process. I mean, of course there's shit that you don't like doing.
Okay. So to continue with that analogy, I think it would be apt to say if we did all that stuff, which we do do, and we didn't have success, we'd probably be the worst thing ever.
Because you always see it when guys go to different teams, when coaches go to different teams, they try to do the Patriot way, and they don't have the success. People are like, fuck this.
I don't want to practice outdoors. I don't want to practice hard all the time.
You think that when people make that comment, there's something to be said for it? I think it's just, with that whole, I think it's hard because, you know, a lot of coaches try to leave and be Belichick. I mean, I don't think there's only one guy that's Bill.
I mean, he's been in the league for 40 years. He started at the Baltimore Colts.
Like, this guy has – you can't just go and try to, like, harp like you're Bill Belichick because he's got a respect level that everyone knows about. You know, so I don't know.
I have fun. We went paintballing.
Yeah, what was that like it was amazing so i mean we do fun activities we had a couple field trips yeah i saw bill shot somebody in the face right he shot calvin yeah he did it was pretty fun walking by and seeing bill like crawl like i swear to god i saw and he i think he got hit like four times and didn't get up. And, like, people were just hitting him.
And, like, it was hilarious. Has he, like, lightened up even just a little bit? Or is he the same guy? I think he's the same guy when it comes to preparation, discipline, and all that.
But, I mean, he's probably one of the best evolvers in the league and yes honestly it has gotten softer from when i first got there right i mean so i mean a lot of guys think it's tough but i mean it we used to have double days and we'd have seven eight days of double days in a row and you know with with with the type of guys that you have coming in now I mean it's just a different mindset and and he's adjusting to it that's fascinating because I think everyone thinks Belichick and they think like he is set in his ways no matter what but you're saying he's evolved even on the you know personal aspect of coaching and the the day-to-day like interactions with people a little bit here and there um you know, I definitely think it's evolved a little, but I also, I think it has to do with the type of player you're coaching. And now it's, you know, with social media, I mean, you have a kid who's famous since high school for doing a backflip and then, you know, a sense of entitlement coming here.
I mean, he's still going to be a stickler when it comes to that, but, like, you know, the way he approaches things, the way we learn things now, it's very compatible to the type of guys that we have coming in now. Have you guys talked about, like, a possible work stoppage at all? Has that even come across your desk? Because I saw that they sent out a memo to some of the players.
I haven't. I haven't checked my email in, like, four days.
Yeah, that must be nice. We haven't checked our email.
We, actually. Yeah, we we yeah there's no way you have an email that you look at oh i do come on right here it's a kent state edu no i don't have the password for that i've had this one i've had this one for since i was like 16 yeah there's something in it from d smith right now being like don't spend another cent for the next year and a half half.
I mean, I don't know. We'll see how that goes.
Does Belichick do the social media breaks during film study like Cliff Kingsbury is going to do? What do you mean social media? Everyone flipped out because Cliff Kingsbury, I think they call him phone breaks, but he basically is like every 20 minutes we're taking a break so that you become more focused because you can look at your phone. No's he's still super anti snap face and my my space he's got a burner he knows what all that stuff is everything the fact that he intends he doesn't know how to use it but i he's probably he's he's got eyes he knows it he's got people that'd be great if it was ernie who was running all the burner accounts yeah that'd be amazing um did you talk to danny amandola after that post that he put up yeah you're like hey danny maybe maybe put the phone down for a little bit you should come on our show yeah yeah my guy um he's good yeah he's good we all get caught up in our feelings sometimes you know yeah um you know we we had we had a we had yeah he's good though i mean the dude's he's a cool dude yeah yeah he should do some pr 101 with us we could fix this in two seconds oh my god when you guys were breaking that down i was we did it as a monday reading i mean there was a lot to work through on that he spent i would have to imagine like 30 minutes crafting that message.
Yeah, yeah. He spent more time on that message than you did on your paper to graduate from Kent State.
He probably had MLA citations in his bibliography. MLA, double spades.
Yeah. All right, I got one last question.
SeatGeek question. Put in promo code TAKE.
You get 10% off SeatGeek. 100% showtime Friday night.
So give us one thing that we should be watching for, like a reason we should be watching, not just because you're Julian Edelman and you're thirst trapping with your dad and all that stuff. Thirst trapping.
I mean, you were. It was a ridiculous post.
I mean. But give us one thing like, hey, you're going to be surprised to see this or we get an inside look at this.
I mean, you get an inside look of a player that's going through not just an injury. You know, I was suspended the first four games.
Adversity and how I had to deal with that. Do you get into that in the documentary? A little bit.
Yeah, we get into that. We get into that.
And, you know, me and my father didn't talk for a while because of that. Really? Oh, yeah.
So, you know, there were some tough times in there. And, you know, it's just going to kind of give you that outline of what an athlete goes through, just like anyone else when there's an adverse situation and how they deal with it with their family, how they deal with it with, you know, their profession, their, their friends and all those types of things.
I mean, it's a, it's a life story. It's not just, you know, a sports story, um, about trying to improve yourself.
Yeah. It's interesting that you, that you brought up like how you go through a situation like that with your friends and your family around you, because I have to imagine that if you get suspended for something and it's public and everyone's talking about it, feel the need you have to like defend yourself a little bit to a lot of people a lot of people

probably don't want to hear that sort of defense like i don't know how i would go about doing

something like that i i hear some people say sometimes why don't athletes just say you know

what i was coming back from an injury and i was taking whatever edge i could get to get back on

field with my guys but then again you have to deal with blowback from people that will take that

admission be like okay so you're admitting it so now this is a whole new set of circumstances

Thank you. taking whatever edge I could get to get back on the field with my guys.
But then again, you have to deal with blowback from people that will take that admission and be like, okay, so you're admitting it, so now this is a whole new set of circumstances that you have to deal with. It just seems like a lot of weight that would come down on you at that point.
Yeah, I mean, it's tough, bro. It was probably the hardest time of my life just dealing with that and dealing with the feeling mentally.
and you're thinking, am I going to be back to what I was before I got hurt?

And then you don't even get to have a test try the first four games.

You have to come out on a Thursday night game and play against the Colts.

And it's a tough situation that it was a learning experience for me. And, you know, you guys will see how I dealt with it.
Do you feel added pressure when you're coming back from an injury knowing that this isn't like a situation where, oh, well, Belichick loves me, I'm good. It's like, no, he's cut a lot of guys that he loves.
You know what I mean? It has nothing to do with the feelings of the relationship. It's the field and what you can do.
he loves you know what I mean it's it's there's not it has nothing to do with the feelings of the relationship it's the field and what you can do 100 percent um you know you definitely have that uh naturally in your head but how you get out of that is just through kind of like constant reps of working your craft and working harder and that's kind of how I dealt with it I mean there were some lonely some lonely, lonely days and nights. I mean, you feel very isolated and you're sitting watching your team on the TV and can't communicate with anyone.
You're sitting there, you're going crazy, pulling your hair out. At the same time, can I do, is it going to be all right? Is it still good? I haven't been hit like this.
You know, there's a lot of things that go through your head and this kind of, captures it and then kind of shows you uh the viewer on on how to deal with it when we were at your house when you were rehabbing you basically were just living like our lives you were playing video games and watching mac football and i was like damn this is what it looks like yeah this kind of sucks what that was uh it was like a third it was like a tuesday night in i don't know november just yeah november. I was like two months out.
Yeah, it was literally we came in. You were in the middle of a Call of Duty game.
And then after we did the interview, you're like, what's on TV? Oh, Toledo's playing Miami of Ohio. Cool.
I mean, it's a pretty good life, right? We do have some good things that go on in our life when you're not playing. But, yeah, I mean, you try to put a bunch of these little things in your life, like sitting on the couch, watching TV and playing video games or something like that, or listening to music to kind of, like, block out, you know, what your mind's really thinking about.
Because, I mean, I'm thinking about every situation every five seconds. five second you know i mean you're just always turning on always always going so i mean yeah it's it's cool right you don't have to make any comment about this but i just want to say that the the day that the robert craft story broke that must have been an all-time text thread day for you just for players on the page just probably just like a shitload of a lot of text emojis and yeah you You got a sorts of texts.
You don't have to comment on it. You got a lot of texts.
How many text messages did you actually get that day? We don't have to comment on it, but... I think I was out of town.
I was in Columbia when that happened. The country? Or South Carolina? No, the country.
What are you doing in Columbia? Just celebrating. Yeah.
Having fun. It's a good place to celebrate.
That is a good place to celebrate. It's a good time.
Yeah. Great beaches.
We've always said that. Yeah.
Julian Edelman, thank you very much. Appreciate it.
100% Showtime Friday night. We love having you on.
We're going to have to take a picture, and you're going to take off your shirt. We're going to thirst trap a picture.
Is that cool? Also, did you see? Yeah. Oh, all right.
If I have to, I will. We invented a new thing where you eat, where me and Big Cat ate burgers on camera and talked about burgers with a really good looking guy, with Zac Efron.
We invented that. I saw that.
I did get a little butthurt about that. Yeah, Zac Efron.
I mean, that's our guy. Burger time.
Burger time is that. He's pretty good looking.
He's good. Yeah.
You know what? Sometimes you just got to chalk up an L. Yeah.
Sometimes, you know what? You chalk up an L and you go back to the fucking drawing boards. Knowing you, though, you probably have like a Showtime preview thing or something coming out with Zac Efron like tomorrow night just to fuck with us.
You mean Zackey? Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
Have you also been saying 100% a bunch in this interview? You said it at the end there. Well, the thing is, I say it all the time.
Yeah, but you fuck with people like that. What are you talking about? You've got the under...
I wouldn't be shocked if I went back and listened and you said 100% like 15 times. 100%.
All right, thanks, Jules. We're going to get right back to the show.
Dennis Quaid here with a quick message about protecting your retirement. Over the years, I've come to appreciate the stability that comes with physical precious metals like gold and silver.
And recently, I partnered with a company that makes it easy for people like you to explore this option, Goldco. I took the time to get to know them, and I'm impressed.
They really know their stuff and treated me like family, and that's why I recommend Gold Co. They've helped thousands of Americans safeguard their savings, and they can help you.
Right now, they're offering a free gold and silver kit. It's packed with information to help you understand how precious metals can be a smart way to diversify your

retirement savings, especially when the economy is uncertain. And if you decide to take the next

step, you may qualify for some bonus silver and even a special Ronald Reagan silver coin.

If you'd like to learn more, give Gold Co a call at 855-GOLD-IRA. That's 855-GOLD-IRA.
All right, back to part of my take. We're going to get right back to the show.
I get those goosebumps every time. In the Champions League quarterfinals on Paramount Plus.
It's do or die, kill or be killed. Every decisive moment gives you goosebumps.
Arsenal have been ruthless. I get those goosebumps every time.
It's now or never. Survive and advance in the ultimate club soccer competition.
Real Madrid are through to the quarterfinal. I get those goosebumps every time.
The UEFA Champions League quarterfinals stream every match live exclusively on Paramount+. All right, back to part of my take.
Okay, let's get to some segments. But before we do that, Mount Rushmore season is off and rearing.
I feel like we've been killing it with Mount Rushmore season. A lot of debate.
Yeah. Healthy debate.
I'll say healthy debate. Healthy debate.
This one should also have healthy debate. It is the Mount Rushmore of ways to procrastinate.
So I think you're up, PFT. I think it's PFT Hank me.
Yeah, I think it is

the snake this time. I think I go first.

Okay. Mount Rushmore of

ways to procrastinate.

Okay. This was an easy one for me.
This is a

layup. Checking

Instagram. Wait, you

can't do multiple social medias. No, no.

I'm telling you. I'm telling you what you do.

Checking Instagram and then

checking email, then checking back on Instagram.

Wait, this is not fair.

No, wait, this isn't fair.

You got to pick one or the other.

Okay, Instagram.

Okay, Instagram and Instagram stories.

Instagram stories are great procrastination.

Yes.

You're about to just take everything.

But it's a whole act.

Instagram, email, taking the shit, jerking off, doing Twitter.

Well, obviously, if you're checking Instagram stories,

with one hand, you're cranking it with the other.

Yes, okay. So checking Instagram stories or Instagram in general, that's a good pick.
Jerk off. Okay.
Okay. Good job, Hank.
Also pick, Hank. Yeah.
Nice pick. But that doesn't really put things off that long.
Yes. No.
Well, I mean, ways to procrastinate. Yeah.
It's a way to procrastinate. You convince yourself that you need a clear mind to do the task.
Yes, exactly. You got to get off to put off.
You're like, oh, I got to walk my dog. Need a clear mind for that.
I haven't done that yet. You crank it before you walk your dog? Are you going to? I'm going to, probably.
I haven't yet. All right.
Walk your dog. Okay.
That's pretty good, right? You have two. Yeah, I have two.
All right, this one's another one that I think is easy. But sometimes do you ever procrastinate before you walk your dog? Yeah, of course.
You just put off walking your dog. It's a whole process of the whole before, during, after is all procrastination to whatever you actually have to do.
The walking the dog, like, all right, well, I got to put on my shoes and I got to maybe give him a little treat. And then we get the leash on.
I definitely put off walking the dog for a while.

Yes.

All right.

Checking gambling lines.

Love to procrastinate by checking gambling lines because I've convinced myself, and I'm sure this is relatable to everyone who's sitting in an office right now, that the only reason you lose at gambling is that you haven't done enough research. So some of my dumbest ideas, best ideas have come when I'm procrastinating by checking gambling lines looking for stupid trends that really don't matter creating spreadsheets that will never work figuring out a system looking at message boards whatever it may be you can basically waste hours and hours and hours checking gambling lines and then eventually you're just going to take the over anyway by creating a spreadsheet do you mean looking at a spreadsheet that somebody else has created? Oh, no, no, no.
I have created spreadsheets before where I try to find really stupid trends, but the sample data is only like six days. I'm like, wow, this is crazy.
As someone who's proficient in Excel myself, my spreadsheets just all consist of two columns, just the first one being the name of a team. Yeah.
Second column just being how much they won by in a given week. But it's endless.
When you're getting ready for gambling, you can procrastinate. You can go maybe look at the pitchers, look at their last five starts, look at their stuff, the scouting report, the wind report, the weather, everything that goes into it.
Night games. Everything that goes into it.
Maybe reading a local paper to see how the team's feeling.

You can basically go down a wormhole

of checking

like gambling lines

and trying to get yourself

smarter before you bet.

And then eventually

you're still going to lose

but you've wasted

a lot of time.

Alright, Hank.

Send an email.

Usually this is procrastinating

if you're doing something

that involves other people

but sending an email

asking a question

hoping that they will respond like later or the next day. That's a good one.
That's a good one. Really good one.
Starting a conversation like that. Yeah, like, oh, I've been waiting for you to answer.
Now I can finish. Right, right.
Okay. And if it's like after hours, instead of texting them where they would probably respond quickly, you email them, hoping that they're going to check their email.
You're like, well, I can't do this. Step one hasn't been completed.
Right. I like that.

Yeah.

Judging how quickly you're going to get a response based on various levels of communication,

that's like expert skill level.

I like that, Hank.

All right.

My next one is going to be cleaning up, tidying up.

So cleaning up things that maybe don't necessarily need to be cleaned up.

Yes.

I always think of that scene in Limitless.

The first time he takes the pill and he walks in his apartment, he's like,'t be my apartment and he like cleans it all in like 10 seconds yeah that's that's what i think of when i'm and sometimes when i have other things to clean up things i don't really feel like cleaning up like that like wipe scrubbing the toilet something like that that's at the bottom tier of your chores that you want to do i'll just find something else to clean up that's easier to clean up than the toilet so like sometimes you can even use cleaning up as a method of procrastinating for cleaning up yeah it's just a little quick tidy yes yeah uh my next one is eating so if you have like a big project or something that you need to get done that night uh sometimes you just make a way too complicated recipe like you look look in your fridge, you're like, oh, I've got ground turkey.

What can I do with that?

And then you just Google a recipe.

Like, well, now I need to go to the store and buy scallions, endives, sardines.

I need extra virgin olive oil.

Yep.

And feta cheese.

Yes.

And then I can make my meal.

Then you come back.

Two hours later, you eat a big dinner.

Then you're too tired and your stomach's full and fall asleep. And you got to clean up.
Then you got to clean up then you got to clean up clean up yeah all right nice callback joke titus thanks uh scrolling through all the pictures in your camera roll oh like just sitting there being bored and you'll just go through one and then you just end up scrolling all the way back and then once you hit the end you're like fuck yep it's been two hours yeah that's a very good one that's a big one all right uh i have my

last two um texting any of your group chats and essentially just starting a conversation that

will go on forever yes like just like busting someone's balls no yeah like that's just gonna

get everyone else or like throwing out a question you know like even like a debate question who's

getting drunk to this weekend yes something like that it's essentially the like when you actually

physically were with your roommates in college being the anyone anyone want to go out tonight? That's essentially what it is, except it's on text version and you're procrastinating. Is there a worse feeling in the world than throwing out one of those to the group chat and getting no response back? No, it's bad, but you have to have multiple group chats so you can throw it out to a bunch of different people and be like, oh yeah, any plans for the mix it up on a on a monday morning you text that out just to just to burn a couple hours that's pretty good all right and then my uh fourth i'm gonna go with looking at apartments or houses that you'll never be able to afford just searching for random cities have been like i always wondered what it would be like to own like a $10 million house in San Francisco.
And just looking at pictures

of sick places that you never in a

million years will be able to afford. That's a pretty good one.

Yeah. You can also do that

with Airbnb too. Vacation places

you'll never be able to afford.

My last one, I will go with

just watch a bar rescue marathon.

It's always on.

You watch one, you gotta watch like 10.

And it's just, who doesn't love bar rescue? It's a timeless, there's no good time's always on. You watch one.
You got to watch like 10. And it's just, who doesn't love Bar Rescue?

It's a timeless.

There's no good time to watch it.

Anytime you watch it is a good time.

Mini Inception, mini Mount Rushmore of marathons to watch.

Collective.

Law and Order.

Football Life.

Cops.

Office.

SVU is such a stinker because right when one episode ends, it starts and you immediately hear the. Dun, dun.
Yeah. You're like, I guess I'm sitting here for another hour.
Uh, uh, spike ball. They keep playing that.
You're slamble. Texas A&M.
No, spike ball. Oh, I keep playing Texas A&M.
Cornhole. Yeah.
Actually like channel surfing through all the sports, the Olympic channel. Yeah.
Yeah. I watched rowing the other day.
Break dancing. gonna be on there now yep all right pft you got your last two uh i only have one last last one yeah shit this is a fast one yeah this was good my last procrastination mount rushmore is uh waiting for the next president to take office because it wouldn't be fair to have a confirmation vote in an election year.
Okay. It's just a great way of procrastinating.
Just putting something off. Just got to wait.
Old cocaine. Mitch knows it.
Well, okay, there we go. So that's your last procrastinate.
You've been doing that for three years now, many years. Oh, putting stuff, re-upping every four years, putting stuff off to then re-up it.
Yep. Yeah.
Okay. That's good.
What did we miss? Uh, scrolling Twitter. I don't know why no one even said it well because you told me that that you can't yeah you can't combine them all you told me not to do i thought someone would take scrolling twitter on its own all right so initially i had instagram stories then moving to twitter then going to email but that's also for us like scrolling twitter is kind of like more it's like yeah like it's not something we do when we're not working it's something we kind of do when we are working anyway.
Instagram stories is not working. Scrolling Twitter is definitely working.
I wrote, say, make an outline and say we'll finish the rest tomorrow. So it's like you just kind of not really get into it, but you're like, okay, I've thought about how I'm going to attack it tomorrow.
Or say I'll wake up really early tomorrow and finish it. How about just taking a nap? Nap is always good.
It's a good old-fashioned nap. How about just taking a shit? Yep.
Taking a shit, taking a nap, getting a coffee. Smoke a joint.
I do a lot of times for this show, I talked about researching gambling lines. I always do for this show putting in my bets.
So right before we record, I'm like, hold on, give me a minute. I got to put in my bets.
Yeah. And that usually takes about 30 minutes.
I'd say it all the time. Yeah.
I mean, I can't believe no one's ever called me out on it because it's like, it takes me four seconds and then the rest is just procrastinating. You know what sucks is when you, uh, when you're trying to procrastinate and take a shit, but you don't actually have to shit anymore.
Yeah. You feel real bad about yourself.
Then you're like, what am I doing with myself? Yeah. You just, you don't even shit, but you scroll Twitter and Instagram for like half an hour.
Yeah. Yes.
I do that at work sometimes. Like, Oh yeah.
Oh, it's shit time. Then it's like, maybe not, but I'm in here.
Uh, addicting games, addicting games.com. Yeah.
I do that at work sometimes. Like, oh, it's shit time.
Then it's like, maybe not. But I'm in here.
Addicting Games. AddictingGames.com.
Yeah, I wrote that. Max Dirt Bike.
Yep. That's my game.
Shout out to the guy who makes BarstoolArcade.com. I played that basketball game.
What's your highest score in the basketball game? Have you played it? 20. Oh, I've hit 25.
Wow. Yeah.
I screenshotted it just in case. It was like, I did it.
And I basically had that moment where I was like, all right, now what? Yeah. you've been playing this game for eight hours today that thing was really hard but once you got the hang of it you started clicking fast yep i think i don't think i got up to 25 i got like 21 i believe uh google earth going on google earth and just searching random countries or maybe searching like the old houses you've lived in that's always fun just just doing random like like, oh, I wonder what the beach looks like in Miami on Google Earth.
Just Wikipedia-ing conspiracy theories. Yep.
YouTube rabbit hole. You just go down, just pick a random subject and watch everything on it.
I wrote down also Netflix, The Office, or Always Sunny. Because that's one of those classic shows you just never stop.
And you can pick any moment and just press play. And then, boom, like 10 hours have gone.
Parks and Rec is well on that. And it's very rewatchable.
So you don't have to worry about like, oh, man, I just watched this last week. Making plans for something, too.
Like planning something in advance so that you don't have to do the thing you have to do today i got you planning something else that you'll have to procrastinate like hey you guys like i'll sometimes text my friend like hey you want to go to a road cubs game sometime this summer and that will like be like three hours of looking at the schedule throwing out dates oh that doesn't work eventually we don't do it but the act has basically burnt three hours of my day you know texting your mom back because you forgot to and you scroll back and you're texting like oh yeah oh this is a great time yeah here we go mom a real good one is creating a video game character like for madden or for any other sports game that is franchise mode i'm gonna do a full season yeah i used to i used to do that all the time when i had so much other stuff that i needed to do. It's making a very lifelike representation of my face on my Madden character.
Dude, my best player ever. Goose Ravenscroft.
Relief pitcher. Fucking spent so many hours on that guy.
He was sick, too. Real sick.
He had a mullet, mustache, goggles. Sounds awesome.
Yeah, it was awesome. It burned basically all of 2013.
That was a shitty year.

Yeah, it was.

I just burned that whole year.

All right.

I think that's...

I mean, I'm sure there'll be more that we missed.

Oh, old school.

Old, old school practicing your signature.

Like when you were maybe 12 and you learned cursive or doodling.

Oh, okay.

Bonus on that.

Drawing that S.

Superman S.

That cool S.

Or the 3D box. 3D box was good.
Or I know a lot of girls that did this one practice writing their name, but with boys' last names instead of theirs. Yep.
Yep, that's good. Jilly's giving us a nod.
Jilly's done that once or twice. Jilly knows.
Jilly Manning. Pick any of them.
Okay, let's do some segments. So we will tweet out ways to procrastinate.
Tell us the ones we've missed. Let's do some segments.
Bachelor talk. Bachelorette talk for guys that don't watch The Bachelorette.
Garrett and Hannah went naked bungee jumping in Latvia. I've been there, no big deal.
Luke P was furious that Hannah showed her naked body to a guy who isn't her husband. Luke P is basically the only reason people watch this show now.
He's the only straw that stirs the drink. So they're keeping him around even though all the guys in the house hate him.
That was my own note. Luke P told Garrett and Mike to stay in their lanes and not talk to him.
Garrett and Mike then told Luke P he needs to stay in his lane. Hannah confronted Luke P about him trying to control her, but he still got a rose despite being the most hated guy in the house.
So, yeah. You don't get into a lane off with another guy.
No. Like, if you drop a stay in your lane, you're either fighting or you better expect a lane right back from him.
When is this over? I don't know. It sucks.
There's, like, two guys trying to merge. Six or seven guys left.
I saw that news story. It was, like, one of the guys has a girlfriend.
That was such a classic news story to try to get buzzed about a shitty bachelorette season over. Yeah.
Over it. Wait, they went naked bungee jumping.
Mm hmm. Why in Latvia? Do you really need to add the nudity to that? Or is bungee jumping? Not as much of a thrill like on the bounce back.
Yeah. Also, just the idea of your dick just flapping in the wind.
I mean, I feel like when When you got to the bottom and then bounced back up, your balls would just... I don't know.
My dick would just go into my stomach because it would be scared of the bungee jump, not because it's small. Yeah.
I don't know. I don't know.
I feel like dick flapping in the wind, that might be the best dick moment of my life. It's like wiping your ass.
Good wipe. With the wind just going crack also the feeling that if if you're hanging upside down people are so not used to seeing the male body from that perspective true that any dick they don't know if a dick's big or small that's true there's nothing to compare there's no reference it's like i don't know it just looks like well it looks like a gigantic fly with a big pubiscus Luke P though What He hangs hog Does he Yeah Big time Oh big time

Alright

Talking soccer. We'll do guys and chicks after this.
Talking soccer at USA 1. That was talking soccer.
Fuck Spain. Women's World Cup's okay.
I like it. We know.
I know. You're obsessed with that.
Our girl Rose is like the fastest player on the field. I like watching USA.
Yes. The other games, I can't really get into it.
So there are some teams that are tough to watch. Argentina was tough to watch.
I bet on them a lot. That was hard to deal with.
France is good. That's going to be a good matchup on Friday.
Just let the USA play every game. Then I'd be into it.
Just have them against the world? Yeah. US against the world? Yes.
I've been to that. Every three days they play a new team.
It's like a Mortal Kombat tournament, except it's just the U.S. Right.
And we just have to beat everyone and then we win the World Cup. I'm into that.
But this is, I'm going to call it, this is the World Cup on Friday. France versus U.S.? Whoever wins this match.
I'm not worried about them. I'm not worried about them.
Not worried about the French, huh? Nope, not at all. That's probably smart.
All right. Before we do, guys on Chicks, PMT Sports Biz Minute.
Our intern, Jake, has been crushing it. You've got to be following him, PMT Sports Biz.
Here is his minute. Good morning.
This is Jake Marsh with the PMT Sports Biz Minute. Emory University released an NFL fandom report ranking all 32 teams.
Up top, the Cowboys, Patriots, Eagles, Giants, right behind, and dead last, the Chiefs and the Rams. So you're telling me the teams that have former PMT guests Patrick Mahomes and the duo of Jared Goff and Blake Bortles are dead last? I call baloney.
Meanwhile, Wimbledon starts in just a few days at one of the biggest renovations, an $88 million roof on the number one court. So when John Isner is playing in his inevitable five-set, ten-hour thriller, let's just hope it's on that court.
Out West, James Holzhauer is taking his talents to the felt. The Jeopardy icon, who made more than $2 million on the show, participated in a few World Series of Poker events out in Vegas this week.
But don't worry, his tournament finishes will not be spoiled to the public, at least by me. I mean, who would do that? Finally, in food news, there's a brand new big-time dessert out there.

And, oh, that's all the time we have on this PMT Sports Biz Minute.

Mr. Cat, Mr.
Commenter, back to you.

Okay, thanks, Jake, our reporter there.

It's not your content. It's not your content.

This is not my hamstring. It's not your content.

It's not your content.

Guys on Chicks, Hank, let's end it out.

This is a little fun fact someone sent in. If you look at the back of your right hand, your fingers spell out Jill.
Oh my god. Is this one of those ones where you then punch someone in the face? Yeah, and if it smells like strawberries, you have cancer.
Jill. The back of your right hand? Yeah, no, I get it.
Check it out. Now you have to suspend disbelief because it's like an uppercase I but lowercase L.
So this is your sign. We have everyone Jill.
Yeah, this is the Jill sign. The Jilly Beans.
Everyone just throws that out there. Actually, that should be the emoji.
Yeah. Oh.
It's just the hand. The right hand.
Fuck yes. Okay.
Jill. Jilly Beans.
Beautiful. Sup, Swamp Cat and boys.
I don't know what that means. Swamp Cat.
So I'm about to switch to a new birth control. My boyfriend wants me to get the implant in my arm instead of pills.
I didn't know that was a thing. He said it's way more effective and wants what's best for me and for us, not just so he can come inside me more.
Should I believe him? No, you probably shouldn't believe him overall. But if you wanted to stick to birth control, all you have to do is just tell the guy, like, it makes my boobs bigger.
I don't know if that's true or not, but if you just say that, then he'll be like, oh, yeah, okay, yeah, do that one. Yeah, do it.
Do that one. Your boobs will get huge.
So I was hooking up with this guy, and he just refused to take his windbreaker off. I reached out to him months later and asked to find out why, and he said it was just because of the draft.
Please tell me what he was hiding. P.S.
He turned out to be my TA the next semester just to add to the humiliation. Wait, was it like an NFL issue thing in Nashville? No.
Like it was one of the cool draft night ones? A little draft. Oh, you think that? You think it was his sweet new era? I think he just had an awesome Tennessee Titans jacket that was limited edition for draft night and didn't want to take it off.

Listen, ladies, I'm sure you have the same thing in your life.

But if a guy finds something that works in terms of clothes, he's going to hammer it forever.

I have one skinny sweatshirt that you probably everyone knows the black sweatshirt that I wear like every other day in the winter.

If you find one thing and you're like, man, that's good.

You're just going to wear it until you get called out way too much about it. And then you'll have to switch.
So he hadn't been called out yet. He might have had poison ivy, too.
Yeah, that, too. It's always a wonder.
Hey, Hank, Big Cat and PMT. Sup, PMT? Does she mean PFT? A lot of people call you PMT.
I always enjoy that. What counts as cheating? My boyfriend of three years admitted to flirting and getting other girls contact info when he was out partying with his single friends.
The chase. We broke up after a random girl was snapping him and he tried to lie about it.
Was he cheating on me? Emotionally, yes. Yeah.
I think the chase is not cheating. But if a guy is like, yeah, all i did was go out and get her number he probably

cheated yeah why would you want it it's one of those things that if it was just confined if you

could just basically have your brain think it was just confined to talking to a girl at a bar and

getting their number then it's like okay that's probably not cheating but if that person does

that they've done everything else so i had a friend back in college that was in a relationship

but he would try to make a game of it where it was like, I'm going to see how many girls I can get to want to hook up with me and then tell them that no, I can't.

Oh, nice.

That's like he's edging.

Yeah, he was edging the entire time.

Yes.

But that's like it's a very dangerous ego game.

Yeah.

To play.

I would say at that point.

Yeah.

You're you're emotionally cheating.

Yeah.

Emotionally cheating. I don't know what that means.
Also, you're emotionally cheating. Yeah, emotionally cheating.

I don't know what that means, but I've read it online.

PFT went to college with Sting.

Hey, this is the last one, so I need your help.

My boyfriend, well, now ex-boyfriend, religiously listens to your podcast,

and basically I want to get back with him,

so can you stop what you're doing right now and ask him if he wants to get back together?

His name's Joe. Joe.
Thank you. Listen listen joe your girl she she misses you a lot um she's got great taste in podcasts joe this is essentially this is essentially the guy doing the marriage like the proposal yeah or the marriage proposal on the jumbotron at the game this is the most romantic thing that could ever be done.
What's her name? Joe's girlfriend. Joe's girlfriend.
Listen, Joe. Now we're back together.
Joe, we're talking to you right now. This is going to suck for all the Joes that we're not talking to.
That have a girlfriend that they miss? Or that just got... Think about...
The Joe that broke up with the girl...e that's girlfriend broke up with him and he's been heartbroken and now he's like oh shit she wants to get she wants to joe listen she wants you back not you joe joe not that joe just text her loved your message on pmt and see and then tweet us and all you joes out there text your text your ex-girlfriend being like thank you the shout-out on PMT. Let's get back together and just tweet us how that goes.
That will definitely work. Also, female listeners, don't have sex with any guy named Joe because he's getting back together with his ex-girlfriend.
So until you do get back with your ex-Joe, none of the other Joes are getting laid. This is a dumpster fire.
I'm excited.
