Speaker 6 What's up, guys?

Speaker 7 It's Big Cat here, making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey.

Speaker 10 How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

Speaker 14 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 16 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt.

Speaker 18 Age four years in bourbon barrels.

Speaker 21 Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 21 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish Apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 27 So get out there and make your Irish entrance.

Speaker 12 Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 1 On today's part of my take, we have the Shanes.

Speaker 30 Shane Victorino awesome interview.

Speaker 37 Today is Wednesday, July 16th.

Speaker 14 And Kyle Schwarber is the man.

Speaker 49 What a monster. Three swings, three dongs.

Speaker 5 Three no-doubters. Three no-doubters.

Speaker 49 What a way to finish the baseball game.

Speaker 9 He's the best.

Speaker 6 Yeah, so for people who didn't tune into the all-star game, we had the first ever swing-off in the All-Star game.

Speaker 34 It was tied after nine innings.

Speaker 14 They fixed it after the disaster that happened, what was it, 20 years ago?

Speaker 49 Bud Selig stands up, calls the game off.

Speaker 29 Game off.

Speaker 49 Disgrace to the United States of America.

Speaker 34 It really was. But this time they had a solution.

Speaker 14 The swing-off, each manager got to pick three guys, and each guy had three swings.

Speaker 34 And most home runs win, and it was

Speaker 51 Kyle Schwerber. It was Kyle Schwerber's show because he hit three home runs and three swings.

Speaker 32 Absolute monsters.

Speaker 2 He's the best.

Speaker 8 I fucking love him forever.

Speaker 5 He's the best.

Speaker 17 The only, and of course,

Speaker 52 in true baseball fashion,

Speaker 29 we have a very cool thing, a very cool moment.

Speaker 34 And obviously everyone's just talking about where was Otani, where is Aaron Judge? Well, guess what? They were probably on a plane because Jesse Rogers reported that

Speaker 33 for everyone saying, hey, why aren't like the best home run hitters, Kyle Schwarber is one of the best home run hitters competing in this,

Speaker 56 they literally left.

Speaker 15 And now we have the debate of, is that leaving your team?

Speaker 3 Is that lame?

Speaker 58 I do not care.

Speaker 49 Yeah,

Speaker 49 bad leadership by Aaron Judge at the All-Star game. Yeah.
Nobody cares about that. But it did feel like the National League manager was trying to win harder than the American League manager was.
Yeah.

Speaker 59 Well,

Speaker 59 I don't think...

Speaker 16 They had anyone left.

Speaker 49 Pete Alonzo was, that was the closer pick.

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 49 Pete Alonso, that's a no-brainer.

Speaker 28 But he had played. So Pete Alonzo, I think, stayed because he was going to maybe win MVP.

Speaker 34 Kyle Schwerber was the first non-pitcher to win MVP without getting a hit in the game.

Speaker 6 But that's why I think Pete Alonso stayed.

Speaker 12 It was basically guys who were in the game late or were staying because they could potentially win MVP like Pete Alonzo.

Speaker 49 I think Pete Alonso stayed because he thought there might be a swing-off. And this is what he secretly trained his entire career without even preparing for it.

Speaker 49 He just knew that he was putting in all those hours just hitting dingers off a batting machine, pitching machine, off coach pitch, whatever.

Speaker 49 The man has been, he's cared about the home run derby more than any other human being on planet Earth ever has cared about winning the home run derby. He had an opportunity.

Speaker 49 He was a closer, put him in third. He didn't even have to swing.
Didn't have to swing. He's pissed off about that.

Speaker 34 Yeah, but his three-run homer, like up until the swing-off, he probably would have been the MVP.

Speaker 9 But it was great.

Speaker 48 I loved it.

Speaker 65 And for people, like, yes, obviously, would you have liked to see Otani and judge in it?

Speaker 66 Sure.

Speaker 54 But I also, like, if you're an an all-star, you have a two-day break at most, they're probably going to want to get out of town.

Speaker 49 Yeah, I can understand that. Also, Max, I would like for you to apologize for the Ranger Suarez takes.

Speaker 49 Why? Because he turned down the All-Star game.

Speaker 68 I don't know if that's true.

Speaker 69 Oh, okay.

Speaker 41 Can we fact-check that? Did I?

Speaker 68 I'm not going to believe. We're not going to look it up.

Speaker 38 You can look it up.

Speaker 68 Why did every player on the Phillies get so upset about it if he turned it down?

Speaker 49 Just talking about Ranger Suarez here.

Speaker 70 Can you answer me that?

Speaker 42 Are you counting yourself as one of the players?

Speaker 55 No. Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 69 He said he'd like to take a break.

Speaker 26 I don't blame him for that.

Speaker 12 The Phillies are pissed.

Speaker 2 When was he asked?

Speaker 33 Was it...

Speaker 72 What point was he at? It was a while ago.

Speaker 51 That's a good question.

Speaker 49 It was a while ago.

Speaker 49 Trying to help you here, Max.

Speaker 68 I'm also.

Speaker 49 Try to just Google, did Ranger Suarez turn down all the time?

Speaker 68 Like, why wouldn't this be one of the first things that people are talking about? They're still talking about the.

Speaker 49 On X, the Everything app, with the website with the great search function yeah robert suarez pitched in the game there you go so you got an r suarez now i gotta say i like i like the swing off yeah swing off the end of game is great i want i want everything decided by swing-offs now regular season baseball games swing off like ild custody hearings swing off swing off i i obviously understand people complaining like you it would have been cool if otani was in it it would have been cool if judge was in it yeah but i mean let's not let that get away in the and it's also, you know, it's a simple fix, is you just have to declare who your swing-off is before the game starts.

Speaker 49 So then you have to stick around.

Speaker 59 Those guys can't leave. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Like, that's just something they didn't think about.

Speaker 54 And then it happened. What is that article? And now, hopefully, they'll fix it.

Speaker 49 Ranger Swaroop said he declined participation in all-star games.

Speaker 71 Oh, that's interesting.

Speaker 72 What does that say?

Speaker 68 I don't understand why all the players were so mad. I won't get mad because I was going off of the players being mad.

Speaker 68 If his own teammates are going to freak out about it,

Speaker 68 why shouldn't I?

Speaker 38 Okay.

Speaker 5 So

Speaker 28 you're mad because.

Speaker 29 I'm not mad.

Speaker 2 You were mad because other guys were mad.

Speaker 41 I had

Speaker 72 a good teammate.

Speaker 68 At what point would I have thought that that was true if all of his teammates went to his defense saying it was bullshit that he didn't get put in the all-stars? Right.

Speaker 29 So again, you're just being a good teammate.

Speaker 15 Your teammates are mad, so you're going to be mad as with them.

Speaker 55 Correct. Yeah.

Speaker 69 But Kyle Schwarber.

Speaker 49 Awesome. He's the fucking best.

Speaker 76 Awesome.

Speaker 49 He is the best. Also, shout out Ludacris.
Ludacris doing Welcome to Atlanta to start the All-Star game. Yep.
Just put Ludacris on TV. I will watch it.

Speaker 49 I watched the performance twice after I got back to the office. We did our own home run derby tonight.
How are the boys feeling?

Speaker 42 Bad. Really bad.

Speaker 37 Yeah, you're going to hear us in a few minutes where we taped in the beginning of the day and we did our predictions. And I think the only thing we said, Hank, was don't get injured.

Speaker 42 And we both got injured. Yeah, I said I did this.
I tore my bicep blaster doing this. I'm trying not to do that again.
I'm pretty sure I did. And I wanted to go 10 for 10.
I did not go 10 for 10.

Speaker 42 Not to spoil the future episode, but.

Speaker 49 I was worried that you were going to ruin your swing, your golf swing.

Speaker 42 That was not out of the question. Yeah, the bicep.

Speaker 29 Max, how do you feel?

Speaker 68 I'm okay. My hands hurt a little bit.
My wrist hurts a little bit. And you're a beast.
My back hurts a little bit, but

Speaker 68 I'm not feeling great, but there's no injuries.

Speaker 30 Yeah. What about you, memes?

Speaker 80 My hands are torn apart and my bicep.

Speaker 29 I jam my thumb on like this. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 13 Memes loves that tape.

Speaker 28 He was given the whole dugout that tape.

Speaker 49 Can you see your tape?

Speaker 2 And we do not know how to use it.

Speaker 6 We were using it all incorrectly.

Speaker 42 It's an extra muscle.

Speaker 55 Yeah.

Speaker 42 Someone said that to me.

Speaker 68 Yeah, I have said it was, it's just, it just replaces a muscle, which makes no sense.

Speaker 81 I had my thumb taped up, like, fully wrapped for a while.

Speaker 3 Then I was like, this is ridiculous.

Speaker 57 I'm probably hurting myself more.

Speaker 7 Zach, you took some cuts.

Speaker 59 You looked good.

Speaker 82 I didn't get any over the wall. I did make contact.
Thank you guys for letting me swing. That was awesome.

Speaker 11 Yeah, that was fun.

Speaker 6 And also, Zach, there was a moment, I'm pretty sure you were playing right field.

Speaker 38 You didn't move for like three hours.

Speaker 82 There was, the visibility got a little dicey, and

Speaker 15 I was kind of stuck.

Speaker 82 I'd run straight to the balls when they hit the ground, but I was terrified of catching one to the face because I could not see them.

Speaker 49 There were were a couple of them where you stood still and then someone else came over and I was saying, call them off, Zach. That's your ball.

Speaker 82 They tracked it way better than I did, for sure.

Speaker 82 If they're going to track it better, they got it.

Speaker 29 Speaking of home runs, our guy, Big Dumper, wins.

Speaker 28 Maybe a little bit of a...

Speaker 54 People were a little upset about the ruling against,

Speaker 60 was it Rooker who

Speaker 38 got screwed?

Speaker 28 Yeah.

Speaker 34 One inch, but I don't care because I love Big Dumper.

Speaker 49 Yeah, no, that's great.

Speaker 31 And it was great for him.

Speaker 28 But yeah, people were a little upset about that.

Speaker 65 The home run derby sucks anyway.

Speaker 49 We just, we forget every single year. We tune in every year to the home run derby, and then we're like, oh, yeah, you can't actually see the home runs land and the next swing happen at the same time.

Speaker 49 And I hate the time. I hate the time.
Just go back to 10 outs. 10 outs.
Make it simple.

Speaker 60 It's so easy.

Speaker 49 We love dingers. We're going to watch.

Speaker 2 That was.

Speaker 49 Don't have me trying to, like, I feel dizzy trying to follow the home run derby.

Speaker 28 It was such a it's not broken, don't fix it situation. Yeah.

Speaker 81 10 outs. 10 outs.

Speaker 1 Just do it every time.

Speaker 34 And they just got cute with it.

Speaker 36 And like the whole extra outs thing.

Speaker 78 Yeah.

Speaker 6 If you hit it, you know, far, you get another extra out.

Speaker 49 It's like if Jeff D. Lowe designed the home run Derby.

Speaker 48 Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 74 Yeah.

Speaker 16 We're going to go to a bonus bonus route. Yeah.

Speaker 29 But yeah, I am happy for Cal Raleigh.

Speaker 49 He's the man. Yeah, that was awesome.
Yeah.

Speaker 49 It was cool to see him win. Sorry for giving out James Wood to you guys.
But Max, you know, he went first. Tough situation when he was a family.
Going first.

Speaker 68 Yeah, no, that was bullshit.

Speaker 40 Yeah. That was bullshit.

Speaker 68 I was backing him. I was telling everyone else that I was with to back him.

Speaker 39 Yep.

Speaker 68 But it's okay. 22.
22.

Speaker 65 He's 22 years old. 22 years old.

Speaker 12 Future face of this league.

Speaker 49 Right? Many are saying, yes.

Speaker 65 Scotty Barnes.

Speaker 25 Future face of this league.

Speaker 67 All right.

Speaker 57 Only other two. Well, I had three other stories I wanted to hit on real quick.

Speaker 8 Terry McLaurin.

Speaker 49 I don't think that's a national sports story.

Speaker 69 I think that's a national sports.

Speaker 49 That's pretty regional. Sports podcast.
Is that an East Podcast?

Speaker 86 All right, let me, you know what?

Speaker 64 I'll do.

Speaker 87 Well, I don't understand.

Speaker 38 Garrett Wilson.

Speaker 69 Congrats, memes. Garrett Wilson.
Congrats, memes.

Speaker 88 This is a great step into being a good organization. We have Sauce and Garrett Wilson locked up till 2030.

Speaker 68 Love that. While you were saying there's a couple other stories that I want you to touch on, Memes was just whispering to himself, Garrett Wilson.

Speaker 38 I was going to hit it.

Speaker 69 It was one of the three.

Speaker 88 It eliminates distractions. Now you don't have to be like, is he getting traded to the Steelers? Is he getting traded to the Broncos?

Speaker 82 I would hate for that to be my wide receiver.

Speaker 42 Yeah, maybe I guess it can be helpful to clear it up to me and our listeners because while we were doing the stream, this news was breaking in the chat, who was usually like on point with reporting real news.

Speaker 42 Yeah, I opened it up and it just said Terry McLaurin retired.

Speaker 49 No, that's not true. We didn't.

Speaker 51 Okay. All right, that's good.

Speaker 42 But why would they be saying that?

Speaker 49 He might have retired because he was doing an automotive commercial at the time. Now, listen, the way things go in the NFL, you're going to have contract negotiations.

Speaker 49 You're going to have guys that hold in, guys that hold out.

Speaker 49 Typically, you don't have guys that go to do their standard Eastern Motors commercial and then use that as the platform to talk about the contract situation.

Speaker 49 But I feel like that's the last thing that Terry's got for him right now. He's like, I'm going to put some pressure on him.
I'm going to talk about it at the commercial shoot.

Speaker 49 And yeah, he sounded like a guy that was frustrated. Now, he did not say that he wanted to play anywhere else.
He said he wants to play in D.C.

Speaker 49 I think we're going to work it out, but I feel like this is hardball.

Speaker 49 I know that I think that we're going to work it out.

Speaker 42 We talked about this recently, right? Yeah.

Speaker 42 And you said it's not a problem. Guaranteed.
I'm not worried. He'll be returning, right? Guaranteed.

Speaker 78 Guaranteed.

Speaker 42 So guaranteed to, I think,

Speaker 42 seems like a bit of a step down.

Speaker 16 Well, no, he just changed it to, I know, I think.

Speaker 49 I know, I think. Peter King put that in his column for years.

Speaker 42 I know, I think.

Speaker 42 That sounds less guaranteed than guaranteed.

Speaker 34 That is less guaranteed than guaranteed.

Speaker 49 I think I know that I'm willing to guarantee this.

Speaker 68 I would like a percent, like zero to 100%.

Speaker 85 Guarantee is 100%.

Speaker 49 Zero is like... What's higher than 100%?

Speaker 49 110%. 110%.
It's 110% guarantee.

Speaker 90 That's a guarantee.

Speaker 49 I've also offered Terry McLaurin 50% of my golf winnings in perpetuity.

Speaker 74 What do we do then?

Speaker 49 So Hank owes him

Speaker 49 $4,000.

Speaker 68 If you're this confident, then you should put something up. And if he doesn't.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 49 Terry's coming. Terry's coming.

Speaker 70 100%? Yes, 110%.

Speaker 90 111%.

Speaker 49 I said 100%. Don't take 10% away.

Speaker 91 I do feel like this is going to get worse.

Speaker 49 Pretty my agent.

Speaker 68 120%.

Speaker 28 He also feels like he's not happy.

Speaker 49 He's not happy, and that's the concern because

Speaker 49 he has been the one guy. He's played on three different team names for the Washington football clubs.
He's always been there. He's been great, even with terrible quarterbacks.

Speaker 49 I feel like it's for him, for the first time in his career, he's got a great quarterback they can play with.

Speaker 92 You don't want to walk away from that.

Speaker 49 Yeah. So he wants to keep playing.
He wants to get paid. This is probably his last big contract.

Speaker 34 I think the paid is the most important part, not the quarterback thing.

Speaker 49 He's 30 years old. He wants to be paid.
He wants to play here.

Speaker 49 Max, you know what? Fuck it. 125%.

Speaker 55 There we go. I just want to.

Speaker 90 125%.

Speaker 22 Wow.

Speaker 49 I put my credibility on the line.

Speaker 2 And what happens if

Speaker 49 I have many?

Speaker 34 Goes and plays somewhere else.

Speaker 49 That would be painful. That would be very painful.

Speaker 54 And but what about your

Speaker 80 guarantee?

Speaker 31 125%.

Speaker 68 Your word would then mean nothing.

Speaker 84 Oh, wow.

Speaker 28 He's taking away your word, PFT.

Speaker 47 125%.

Speaker 38 What else do we have, but our word on this show where we're always right?

Speaker 42 His word is his profession. PFT.

Speaker 90 My credibility. PFT.

Speaker 51 Which is also your job.

Speaker 86 We sidebar because it seems like they're ganging up on you.

Speaker 49 Because I'm about to say something fucking stupid.

Speaker 28 They're ganging up on you, PFT.

Speaker 30 Just remember.

Speaker 35 You'll get a cat.

Speaker 31 Remember, PFT.

Speaker 28 This podcast, we are always right.

Speaker 72 We're always right.

Speaker 59 We never get anything wrong.

Speaker 49 I never report anything anyway.

Speaker 9 We never get ahead of ourselves. No.

Speaker 28 So for you to do this would be maybe the end of the podcast.

Speaker 49 It is something that I feel so strongly about that I'm thinking about saying something stupid.

Speaker 2 Okay. Why don't you text it to me?

Speaker 49 Okay, I'm going to text it to you.

Speaker 95 And I'll say it.

Speaker 54 Terry McLaurin, by the way,

Speaker 15 so he is getting paid,

Speaker 30 what is he getting paid?

Speaker 34 His $15 million this year with a $5 million signing bonus.

Speaker 30 And then he's an unrestricted free agent next year.

Speaker 29 So he would like some money.

Speaker 69 He deserves some money.

Speaker 39 He's a really good football player.

Speaker 51 Why wouldn't they pay him?

Speaker 49 That's a good question, Hank. So it seems like at this point, when you have

Speaker 49 a quarterback that's on their rookie contract, this is the time to pay guys. But we've gone out.
We got Laramie Tunsell. Have to pay him.

Speaker 26 Oh, my God.

Speaker 38 Yes, yes.

Speaker 40 Say it. Say it.
Say it. Say it.
Say it. Say it.

Speaker 7 Well, it doesn't count because if I say it, he didn't say it.

Speaker 51 Then he should say it. No, no, no.

Speaker 2 He should not say this.

Speaker 2 He should not say this.

Speaker 6 I'll say it, but

Speaker 5 PFT can't be held to it because I'm saying it.

Speaker 49 He's going to be a commander. It's a guarantee.

Speaker 49 125% guarantee. It's going to get done.

Speaker 12 All right, I'll just role play as PFT for a second.

Speaker 34 I 110% think that Terry McLaurin is going to be a commander, and if he's not a commander, I'm willing to give Max my El Camino.

Speaker 49 Don't say that, PFT.

Speaker 3 That's stupid.

Speaker 59 You love that car.

Speaker 91 Yeah.

Speaker 76 You're just getting caught in the middle.

Speaker 49 You're getting caught up in the moment right now.

Speaker 91 That's something stupid of me.

Speaker 22 Because Max got you all working.

Speaker 69 I'm going to walk that back.

Speaker 68 I'm going to make this really easy on you.

Speaker 68 I will give it back to you if you give it to me because that seems like more of a hassle than I would really want.

Speaker 49 That's what I was thinking.

Speaker 47 Oh, wow.

Speaker 42 That feels like the El Camino died like this morning.

Speaker 49 No, El Camino's, it's humming. It is humming.
All the haters and doubters are down bad right now. They're being awful quiet.

Speaker 68 I said this was going to be the summer of the El Camino. I think coming into this summer,

Speaker 70 I put my full faith in the El Camino.

Speaker 69 You called it. Yeah.

Speaker 49 So, Max, I'll give you my El Camino if Terry McLaurin goes somewhere else.

Speaker 68 Okay, and as a, in good faith, I will give it back to you.

Speaker 86 No, you should, if he goes somewhere else, you should give it to an AWO who,

Speaker 76 oh,

Speaker 76 that would be really

Speaker 76 good.

Speaker 22 Yeah, that wasn't part of the

Speaker 90 hypothetical magic.

Speaker 91 The Broncos, we find a random Broncos fan, and we're like, hey, you can have PFT's El Camino?

Speaker 49 PFT would never say that.

Speaker 76 That wouldn't do him. It's true.

Speaker 49 He did a bad job role-playing.

Speaker 49 My controls.

Speaker 8 Either way, Terry McLaurin. My controls.

Speaker 49 Terry McLaurin will be.

Speaker 71 My controls.

Speaker 49 We're going to work it out. It's going to be fine.
It's not great that it got to this point where now he's doing public disputes with things and saying that they haven't talked to him.

Speaker 49 They haven't made him an offer recently.

Speaker 49 It just has to work out because if it doesn't,

Speaker 86 where is he being

Speaker 62 rumored to go?

Speaker 49 Nowhere. So

Speaker 49 he's got one year left on the other side.

Speaker 99 Any of the rumors?

Speaker 38 The Jets?

Speaker 49 I saw one hypothetical trade to the Jets.

Speaker 49 You got Dove Klein.

Speaker 67 Okay.

Speaker 5 Well, I was just like, fans of other teams in the NFL, maybe tweet at us and let us know if you would want an El Camino if Terry McLaurin played for your team.

Speaker 49 It's too big.

Speaker 49 Just let us know.

Speaker 96 I just want to see. It's like a little poll.

Speaker 38 Listen.

Speaker 68 First thing I see, Terry McLaurin.

Speaker 76 Would you like it?

Speaker 70 Steel's Patriot trade buzz. Whoa.

Speaker 47 Would you like

Speaker 38 to go ahead?

Speaker 93 Yeah, and Terry McLaurin. That'd be awesome.

Speaker 91 Oh, my God.

Speaker 92 That might kill you if Hank was riding around in your El Camino.

Speaker 42 I would get a little paint shot, put Terry's number on it.

Speaker 49 I told you it was stupid as shit.

Speaker 90 Yeah, there's a role play.

Speaker 81 This is, again, still hypothetical role play.

Speaker 72 The El McLaurin.

Speaker 49 He's coming back.

Speaker 68 Of the four articles I'm seeing, two of them are Patriots.

Speaker 42 Oh, my God. Wow.

Speaker 49 That's a lot of articles of the four.

Speaker 68 Of the four. Heavy sports.

Speaker 42 You can have Van.

Speaker 68 NESN. NESN.

Speaker 70 Got it.

Speaker 101 Supervisor.

Speaker 30 What's the link to surprising trade commanders?

Speaker 25 Click that one, the Sports Illustrated one.

Speaker 49 This was probably AI.

Speaker 49 They do AI articles.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 42 Just clicks and clicks and clicks.

Speaker 37 Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 49 The Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 38 That would be a full-on cash grab.

Speaker 49 I would not like that.

Speaker 49 Terry is a commander. He's a commander.
He's a Redskin football team and commander for life. Yeah.

Speaker 49 Okay. When he goes into the Hall of Fame, which one do you think he goes in as?

Speaker 28 Tennessee Titan.

Speaker 49 I think maybe he goes in as a football team.

Speaker 28 He's going to stay in this game.

Speaker 49 We're going to work it out. Cooler heads are going to prevail.
I trust Adam Peters. I trust Terry McLaurin.
Everything's going to be fine. Stop saying it's not going to be fine.
It's going to be.

Speaker 38 I'm on your side, bro.

Speaker 76 Boy, what you're saying is that's the same thing. I actually

Speaker 42 said rookie deal makes sense to pay someone like him.

Speaker 79 Yeah, it does. Yeah.

Speaker 42 So then in theory,

Speaker 42 if he got traded to the Patriots, they would pay for him because they got a Titans. Quarterback in a rookie deal.

Speaker 49 We're not entertaining these florio creations that you're pulling out hank bfty i want it on the record i'm on your side i think he's gonna be a commander he's gonna be commander terry's a one uniform well i three he's a three uniform one city guy yeah

Speaker 61 he's gonna be a commander that's the ultimate legacy yeah

Speaker 29 three different three different uniforms what are you gonna say max

Speaker 38 no i just i'm rooting for you no you're who no you're not waiting who you rooting for

Speaker 68 fuck i guess if i root for you then i would be rooting against hank right and you hate doing that fuck that is true. I guess if I had to root for one of you.

Speaker 27 What about memes?

Speaker 31 He said there was a rumor. True.

Speaker 68 So you would, wait, would you be upset? Memes, would you be upset if Terry McLaurin?

Speaker 42 Yeah, but I guess it makes sense you would root for a PFC because

Speaker 42 Jayden Daniels kind of on the record. Top five QB.

Speaker 42 You probably need someone like Terry McLaurin. That's actually.

Speaker 49 That definitely helps.

Speaker 74 No, he actually...

Speaker 68 No. You know what? Jayne Daniels doesn't even need Terry McLaurin.
He's still a top five.

Speaker 68 You could put Jayne Daniels out with any receiving core in the NFL, top-five quarterback.

Speaker 73 No doubt.

Speaker 49 We got Fast Debo.

Speaker 38 Fast Debo. Fast Debo.

Speaker 55 Fast Debo. Yeah, Fast Debo.

Speaker 49 Who Kittle said, by the way, looked like he was almost in too good a shape.

Speaker 81 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 59 He did say that. Fast.
It's exactly what he said.

Speaker 49 Right before he tried to tackle Hank, and Hank hid behind me like the cowardly little mouse he is.

Speaker 42 George Kittle running at you is one of the scariest sights of all time.

Speaker 79 No, Kittle and he is a monster.

Speaker 6 There are two guys in our life, and we've gotten to know a bunch of these guys, and very lucky.

Speaker 29 The two guys that I will always say that, like, when you are around them, whether it be drinking or just being around them, and you're worried about maybe a little bit of wrestling and horseplay that will get you very, very injured is, it's George Kittle and it's Kyle Long.

Speaker 102 Both those guys, I'm just like, I don't, I'm always just kind of ready to be tackled and have like all my insides like ripped up.

Speaker 49 I would say Vrabes, too.

Speaker 64 We have Rabe.

Speaker 48 Oh, I actually, so I like broke my pinky like four months ago.

Speaker 12 No, it was probably like six months ago.

Speaker 28 Never got it really fixed because you can't really do anything.

Speaker 34 And it would hurt every time I'd shake someone's hand for about two months.

Speaker 29 And the last four months, I've been totally fine.

Speaker 27 Hurt again, Mike Vrabel handshake. Vrabel got you.

Speaker 103 That was it.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Just a good old Vrabel handshake will get you.

Speaker 49 He does the combo of the handshake and the pat on the back. Yeah.
You can be wearing all the Copperfit bracelets you want. You're getting knocked off balance.

Speaker 6 All right.

Speaker 37 The last story I had was

Speaker 26 LeBron's getting a little desperate, don't you guys think?

Speaker 15 Did you guys see the latest?

Speaker 14 Kobe Altman, the president of the Cleveland Cavaliers, got a contract extension, and LeBron James quote-tweeted it, and he said,

Speaker 30 Here's what he said. Yes, sir.

Speaker 31 Congratulations to my brother, B.

Speaker 30 Weems.

Speaker 17 Super proud of you, man.

Speaker 30 Was this the praying?

Speaker 29 No.

Speaker 34 Praise? No, praise.

Speaker 1 Praise emoji, praise emoji, praise emoji, praise emoji, praise emoji, praise emoji, praise praise emoji, praying hands, heart.

Speaker 49 That's a lot. That's a lot of emojis.

Speaker 25 He wants to be a cav so bad.

Speaker 98 Yeah.

Speaker 25 So bad.

Speaker 49 We talk about it later.

Speaker 69 Yeah, but he, but

Speaker 21 this one is recently.

Speaker 49 He's not going to be a Laker.

Speaker 76 I don't think. No.

Speaker 104 All right.

Speaker 48 Well, let's get to the later.

Speaker 28 Let's get to everything else. We got a great show.

Speaker 30 We got Shane Victorino.

Speaker 34 Awesome interview.

Speaker 30 Make sure you tune into the part where Max has a great question for him.

Speaker 49 Never Meet Your Heroes.

Speaker 19 Never Meet Your Heroes.

Speaker 1 Shane Bacon talking open championship.

Speaker 8 Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 11 And remember, Friday takeies.

Speaker 105 If you thought goldenly breaded McDonald's chicken couldn't get more golden, thank golder.

Speaker 106 Because new, sweet, and smoky special edition gold sauce is here.

Speaker 105 Made for your chicken favorites. I participated in McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 36 Okay, Henry, hot seat, cool throne.

Speaker 42 My hot seat is Uno in Vegas. Yes.
Oh.

Speaker 42 It was first reported on this show by one PFT commenter that they were going to be able to

Speaker 42 play Uno in Vegas for money as a casino game.

Speaker 49 This is not first surprising. I read a news article.

Speaker 51 I first read it.

Speaker 42 I heard it first on this program.

Speaker 51 Okay.

Speaker 16 So as you know, first reported by PFT.

Speaker 28 Yes.

Speaker 42 Uno yesterday put out a statement. A rumor has come to our attention that there will be Uno tables on the casino floors in Las Vegas.
Sounds wild, huh?

Speaker 42 We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but the casino floor isn't ready for us yet. We've told that while they do have tight security, it's not robust enough for Uno at this time.

Speaker 42 This isn't a reverse card. While we get this sorted out, and then they just promoted their Uno social club.

Speaker 42 So there's like an Uno social club that they're doing in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and Austin, but not Vegas.

Speaker 49 So it sounds like the casino put out the statement too soon.

Speaker 49 Yeah. The casino that had planned this entire room of Uno, they didn't have final agreement with Uno.

Speaker 58 Yeah.

Speaker 104 They didn't clear it with Uno first.

Speaker 5 So PFT's right.

Speaker 49 So what's to stop them from just making a card game that's identical to Uno, but not called Uno? Nothing.

Speaker 20 I guess copyright?

Speaker 26 Maybe copyright. Maybe copyright.

Speaker 67 Duo.

Speaker 51 Duo. It also would take a long time.

Speaker 51 Yeah, the casino games are built up to the game.

Speaker 75 That's what they said.

Speaker 42 No, but like casino games are.

Speaker 42 Yeah. I don't think Vegas would want that either.

Speaker 58 No, especially if you can't play for money.

Speaker 13 You're just going and playing Uno.

Speaker 80 That's like the last thing you want to do. Yeah.

Speaker 49 Hoodoo Uno here.

Speaker 26 That's what I would call it. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 All right. Good hot seat.
Thanks.

Speaker 49 You just attacked PFT, but that was just a rip, but that's fine. Nice hat, by the way.

Speaker 49 It was a report that was widely reported. And the casino, I blame the casino.
Their PR department. Got to get these deals done before you tweet them out.

Speaker 59 Why are you wearing that hat?

Speaker 94 I don't know.

Speaker 20 It's a fish.

Speaker 85 It's a fish.

Speaker 69 It's a fish. What kind of fish is that?

Speaker 41 I don't know.

Speaker 2 Oh, great promo for the fishing contest coming out July 21st.

Speaker 59 Dolphin fish?

Speaker 38 This is a dolphin fish?

Speaker 27 Might be. I don't know what type of fish it is.

Speaker 48 Where did you buy the hat?

Speaker 42 I got it. I got it when I was fishing a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 81 You don't know what fish it is?

Speaker 42 A guy was literally handing them out to me and my buddies on the boat.

Speaker 64 Oh, it might be a mahi-mahi. Zach found it.

Speaker 16 That's a mahi-mahi.

Speaker 8 Sure is.

Speaker 75 Dolphin fish.

Speaker 38 Dolphin fish. That dolphin fish.

Speaker 38 Same thing.

Speaker 102 Max found it.

Speaker 49 Good job, Zach.

Speaker 13 Good job, Zach.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 42 Who throws the Red Sox? People got mad at me for not bringing this up on Monday.

Speaker 49 The Trump Socks.

Speaker 16 What are they, 10-0?

Speaker 49 They're undefeated since meeting with President Trump.

Speaker 38 Oh, hell yeah.

Speaker 42 Yeah, they won 10 straight games, going to the all-star break. Coming to Chicago this weekend.
Excited to see him.

Speaker 79 What's that?

Speaker 42 I'm taking a deep breath. I took a deep breath and I was doing the running motion.

Speaker 42 The bandwagon is running in front of me and I'm

Speaker 42 pretty close to hopping on. Pretty close.
We'll see how this weekend goes.

Speaker 49 Because like a month ago,

Speaker 49 you had jumped off the bandwagon.

Speaker 42 I know, but then they go on a 10-game winning streak. They traded Raphael.
Like that, that seemed to be a trade that didn't make sense at the time. Clearly, it's working.

Speaker 42 They're coming together as a team. You love to see that.
They have some crazy walk-off wins. Coming to Chicago, I'm going to see him in person, up close and personal.

Speaker 42 It might be time. Okay.

Speaker 49 Getting started.

Speaker 78 Playing well.

Speaker 3 I think they have a tough remaining schedule.

Speaker 13 I saw there was a.

Speaker 21 I don't know if I have it.

Speaker 30 I just saw the Cubs have the easiest schedule remaining, which made me feel good.

Speaker 49 But they still need to get a pitcher.

Speaker 24 We could have some

Speaker 24 fun, funny.

Speaker 42 Yeah, people are saying that about that.

Speaker 13 I mean, and that's where it's like, you know, they're saying that they're not going to make any moves to the deadline and just kind of sputter out but i'm i'm getting close to believing and hopping right on the bandwagon okay so remaining toughest remaining uh schedules uh the red socks the third toughest go scroll down the cubs have the 28th easiest or the third to last or the third easiest where are the phillies and mets phillies are right in the middle mets are ooh seven toughest got some good baseball coming down the stretch boys

Speaker 20 might be a collision course

Speaker 80 for the Mets, Phillies, Cubs.

Speaker 51 That'd be fun. That'd be great.

Speaker 70 This could be a very interesting

Speaker 89 contentious.

Speaker 42 For the Pods.

Speaker 19 Padres are right there.

Speaker 4 The NL is pretty strong.

Speaker 3 Like, the NL has the Mets, the Phillies.

Speaker 8 The Cubs, the Brewers.

Speaker 24 The Cardinals are not out of it. And then in the West, the Dodgers, Giants, and Padres.

Speaker 83 I mean, Dodgers are better, but like, there's a lot of good teams in the NL.

Speaker 41 So

Speaker 54 it's going to get spicy.

Speaker 20 Yeah.

Speaker 57 Okay. Good job, Hank.
Thanks.

Speaker 49 My hot seat is Max.

Speaker 67 Oh.

Speaker 49 I got Max on the hot seat.

Speaker 60 Yes.

Speaker 23 Because, well, why do you have him on the hot seat?

Speaker 25 I was going to say PG.

Speaker 70 PG. PG.

Speaker 60 PG.

Speaker 42 PG actually reported PG to me.

Speaker 51 PG.

Speaker 38 PG.

Speaker 70 PG.

Speaker 68 PG Max. Yeah, no, he's probably going to go down.

Speaker 86 Wait, what happened to PG?

Speaker 68 PG.

Speaker 9 Paul George.

Speaker 38 Paul George. Playoff P.

Speaker 97 Playoff P, podcast P.

Speaker 68 Post podcast P, preseason P. Preseason P has injured himself again in the preseason.

Speaker 38 Oh, how did he injure himself?

Speaker 49 It's PCL.

Speaker 68 He hurt his knee in a workout. And

Speaker 68 he's probably going to go down as the biggest bust in Philly history.

Speaker 49 But the good news is

Speaker 49 Ben Simmons? The biggest bust? Ben Simmons.

Speaker 55 Ben Simmons was an all-star.

Speaker 27 Markel Fultz?

Speaker 73 Markel Fultz?

Speaker 24 Was not an all-star.

Speaker 85 Not an all-star.

Speaker 68 He had a triple-double his rookie year.

Speaker 108 I remember that.

Speaker 38 That was cool.

Speaker 109 James Harden?

Speaker 68 James Harden had like 50 points in

Speaker 68 an elimination game.

Speaker 59 Who's the guy you clapped for?

Speaker 38 Did they?

Speaker 68 They won that game.

Speaker 59 Who's the guy you clapped for?

Speaker 49 It's Trey Turner. Trey Turner.
Yeah, he's at a bus.

Speaker 68 I also don't think that was an elimination game. I think that was maybe game one.
But in that playoff series, no, yeah, he fell apart at the end.

Speaker 9 So it was

Speaker 49 27. We know that.

Speaker 48 Playoff P is in the running right now.

Speaker 41 I mean,

Speaker 49 can you do a Mount Rushmore of the biggest bust in Philadelphia history?

Speaker 68 Andrew Bynum is 1-1.

Speaker 54 Did he win a championship with the Lakers, I believe.

Speaker 72 Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 68 And then the Sixers traded a ton to get him. I don't think he played a single game.

Speaker 108 I think he got hurt and then never played a game.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 48 Playoff P.

Speaker 108 Playoff P. Markel Fultz.
Markel Foltz. Yeah, Markel Fultz.

Speaker 68 But I feel like rookie. No, Markel Fultz is definitely up there.

Speaker 35 What's his name, Aguilar?

Speaker 68 Nelson Aguilar. But that was a late.
That was only because

Speaker 101 you could have got Justin Jefferson.

Speaker 41 Yeah, wait, no, that's Jalen Rager.

Speaker 60 Or Jalen Ragers. Jalen Rager.

Speaker 69 Sorry, sorry. Sorry, sorry.

Speaker 51 Jalen Rager.

Speaker 68 Jalen Rager, definitely up there.

Speaker 23 Carson Wentz.

Speaker 68 No, Carson Wentz was

Speaker 49 also great because

Speaker 28 when you traded...

Speaker 49 No, when you traded him, you got so much.

Speaker 68 Carson Wentz has a Super Bowl.

Speaker 48 Okay, you said won a Super Bowl.

Speaker 10 Carson Wentz won a Super Bowl roll.

Speaker 68 He was a part of a Super Bowl winner.

Speaker 103 He was part of a Super Bowl roster.

Speaker 41 That's true.

Speaker 50 That is a fact.

Speaker 68 And he would have been MVP if he didn't get hurt.

Speaker 49 When you get rid of Paul George, your team does better, right? We know that from recent recent history. Yeah, what are you going to do?

Speaker 18 What are the Sixers going to do?

Speaker 3 It's so crazy that the entire East is set up so perfectly for the Sixers to maybe be good, and then they have this.

Speaker 68 Yeah. I mean,

Speaker 68 apparently, there's like no leg.

Speaker 68 All the Sixers' heads are doing the

Speaker 68 same thing.

Speaker 68 He'll be ready by training camp. There's no ligament date.
It just was just a cleanup thing.

Speaker 41 How did he get hurt?

Speaker 68 It just says in a workout.

Speaker 41 That's why you never work out.

Speaker 89 Yeah, fair.

Speaker 68 That's why you never work out. Yeah, no.

Speaker 60 Yeah, bad.

Speaker 89 Really bad.

Speaker 49 Bad vibes going into the... I mean, the East is wide open right now.

Speaker 68 Yeah.

Speaker 68 Vijay Edgecombe had one. He played one game, had 28 points.
We haven't seen him since. He just has the Sixers.

Speaker 68 There's something in that room. There's something.

Speaker 35 Did you see the dunk that

Speaker 20 Noah Essenge?

Speaker 13 He got dunked on

Speaker 13 in the Summer League.

Speaker 20 Bulls' first-round pick, it was maybe the worst graphic, like worst picture you could ever see. Yeah, the guy.

Speaker 54 He's like screaming for his life as he gets yammed on.

Speaker 49 The guy went full tomahawk.

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 49 The ball was beyond horizontal. It was crazy.

Speaker 18 Good, good search.

Speaker 17 He just spelled it E-S-E-N-G-A-Y.

Speaker 38 Yeah. It's good.

Speaker 68 It got me to where I needed to be.

Speaker 59 Yeah, it got you to.

Speaker 56 Look at that picture.

Speaker 85 That's a tough picture.

Speaker 110 Listen, that's a tough visual.

Speaker 7 He basically looks like he's being assaulted.

Speaker 41 Yeah.

Speaker 49 That was bad. It's bad yam.

Speaker 86 Like, if he had a whistle, he would blow it there.

Speaker 49 It was a bad yam on.

Speaker 42 Or he's just having the nut of a lifetime.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 24 Oh.

Speaker 24 Good Summer League talk.

Speaker 49 I do love Summer League. Oh, I had a question for you guys.
Yeah. We need to establish this as a podcast.

Speaker 49 The more and more we get into it, the more it feels like LeBron James might not be a Laker next year. I would say he's not.

Speaker 24 Right?

Speaker 49 Playing a lot of golf now. Play golf again.

Speaker 79 A lot of golf.

Speaker 49 If he does go to the Cavs and the Cavs win

Speaker 49 in an East that is beyond depleted this year, we need to just already say this, that doesn't count.

Speaker 71 Yeah. Right?

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 49 Like, you got the Pacers, they're out of it. The Bucs are probably out of it.
Yeah.

Speaker 42 I kind of want him to go back to Cleveland.

Speaker 42 It'll be so fun to ramp it back up.

Speaker 23 Do you know what I'm wishing for?

Speaker 99 Cleveland.

Speaker 42 That would be so dumb for them to trade for LeBron.

Speaker 13 The thing I'm rooting for, I saw a rumor that he's trying to maybe go to the Mavs to play with KD and AD

Speaker 24 or Kyrie and AD.

Speaker 42 Imagine if Nico traded Cooper flag for LeBron.

Speaker 16 That would be funny.

Speaker 13 That would be the funniest thing ever.

Speaker 49 That would be very funny.

Speaker 10 I don't wish that for Mavs Sense, but that would be the funniest thing ever.

Speaker 49 Yeah, I just want to establish that. The East is down.
Coward move if he goes to the Cavs. Coward move if he wins a title with the Cavs.

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 69 Ahead of time. Agreed.

Speaker 56 100% agree.

Speaker 49 My cool throne is Teddy Bridgewater being a good guy.

Speaker 49 So Teddy Bridgewater got got suspended. He's a high school football coach in Miami.
I think it's Northwestern, Northwestern High School in Miami.

Speaker 49 Everybody loves Teddy Bridgewater. Everyone that you've ever talked to that's been around him loves the guy.

Speaker 49 He has been suspended from his job as head coach because he paid for Uber rides, meals, recovery services for his players last year.

Speaker 49 He asked fans to donate to help cover those expenses this year, and then he self-reported those payments to Miami of Northwestern. So apparently, he paid out of pocket $14,000 for Trading Camp.

Speaker 49 He bought

Speaker 49 Pride sets, $9,000, pregame meals,

Speaker 49 $2,000 a week. He paid for recovery for his players to the tune of $1,000 a week.
He bought Ubers at $700 a week. And he bought the paint that goes on the field for $300 a week.

Speaker 59 Good guy. Good guy.

Speaker 49 And now, why is this against the rules for a coach to do that?

Speaker 16 I don't know, but it is one of the most absurd controversies.

Speaker 3 I don't even want to call it a controversy because I think everyone has Teddy Bridgewater's side.

Speaker 13 Like, why can't someone try to better their community?

Speaker 54 Why is he?

Speaker 3 And Teddy Bridgewater even said, I'm not an employee, so they can't suspend me.

Speaker 49 He volunteered. Yeah.
So this is all through the goodness of his heart that he did this. But I think now, like, throughout the years, we've been complaining to the NCAA, you got to pay the players.

Speaker 49 Yep.

Speaker 49 Take it easy on the players. We might have to just switch up to high school football now.

Speaker 58 You got to pay the players. You got to pay the players.

Speaker 102 You got to pay the players.

Speaker 49 Pay these guys. I like that.

Speaker 49 They're doing Netflix documentaries.

Speaker 49 They're getting thousands of views on Instagram, on their highlight reels. Pay the players.
Pay the players. Pay the high school players.
Teddy Bridgewater, good guy, though.

Speaker 28 Pay the AU players.

Speaker 70 Yeah, listen, pay babies.

Speaker 49 T-ball. Babies should get paid.

Speaker 94 Absolutely.

Speaker 36 Okay, my hot seat is Connor McGregor.

Speaker 60 What would happen?

Speaker 13 He has his penis all over the internet because he sent an unsolicited dick pic to Azalea Banks.

Speaker 69 A couple of them.

Speaker 11 A couple of them.

Speaker 86 Which, by the way,

Speaker 13 I only saw the blurred-out version until Jerry O'Connell accidentally sent me and PFT a full Connor McGregor nude last night out of nowhere.

Speaker 23 Yep.

Speaker 9 And just said, sorry, wrong text.

Speaker 54 I don't think it was wrong text.

Speaker 109 I think he meant

Speaker 20 to get us with Conor McGregor's penis.

Speaker 25 Herbert.

Speaker 2 Azalea Banks, what is she known for?

Speaker 49 This. Stuff like this.

Speaker 93 Okay, so

Speaker 5 he really kicked the hornet's nest here.

Speaker 49 Yeah, I think that Azalea Banks would be the last person on planet Earth that you should send a dick picture to.

Speaker 24 And Conor McGregor was like, fuck it, I'm Conor McGregor.

Speaker 18 Maybe he was trying to get his dick out.

Speaker 2 He might be.

Speaker 5 That was like, because you can't leak it yourself.

Speaker 92 So he was just doing this on purpose to be like, I want to just let everyone know that there's my penis.

Speaker 49 Yeah, that's not a bad thought because if you send Azalea Banks, as far as I can tell, she just lives to stir shit up online now. Okay.
That's what she does.

Speaker 107 And Conor McGregor said it unsolicited.

Speaker 49 Unsolicited. So he might have just been expecting for this to happen.

Speaker 60 Connor McGregor, I'm starting to think he might not be a good guy.

Speaker 49 Maybe not.

Speaker 20 There's a lot of stuff going on.

Speaker 12 He had a weight on one of his pictures, a weight on his penis.

Speaker 49 He was training. Yeah.
He was doing some training. Does that work?

Speaker 42 Was it a weight or was it? I thought it was...

Speaker 49 It looked like he was doing some curls, if you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 104 What do you got?

Speaker 42 I thought it was like a circumcision thing.

Speaker 49 Huh? Foreskin?

Speaker 42 Like it, like, pulled it back.

Speaker 49 Oh, I don't know. Wait, so

Speaker 49 he's got like a piece of equipment that he uses on his hog?

Speaker 69 That's what it looked like. A cock ring?

Speaker 42 Like, yeah, it looked like it like pushed, pulled everything back. Like, kind of like a hair tie for your cock.

Speaker 2 It's hard to find the dick pic.

Speaker 74 I was trying to find it. Yeah, then Jerry helped me.

Speaker 69 I can't find it.

Speaker 69 Just text Jerry.

Speaker 49 He'll send it to you. Is that a common thing?

Speaker 74 I don't know.

Speaker 42 I'm not. I don't.

Speaker 49 Uncircumcised guys, they have a special ring they put on for sending dick pics.

Speaker 42 I'm circumcised, so I really don't know. But that's

Speaker 42 our first glance, that's what it looked like. I was confused at the difference in the two pictures, but the second one you you could see

Speaker 49 also. Kale Sunnin, he uh

Speaker 74 yeah, he stopped.

Speaker 49 I've heard it pronounced both ways.

Speaker 102 Oh, okay.

Speaker 49 Which way have you heard, Hank?

Speaker 75 I've heard chaol, chale.

Speaker 42 Well, I'm a phonetic guy, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 49 So that H has to do something, yeah.

Speaker 20 All right, so they just have a no-show job ace or H out there.

Speaker 49 So he hopped online yesterday.

Speaker 42 That probably means it's Kale.

Speaker 16 Yeah, probably, but I'm saying, like, I don't, I respect the H.

Speaker 49 Yeah, me too. So he said yesterday, I can't stop staring at Conor McGregor's dick.
I can't stop. I've stared at this dick for the last two hours.
Wow.

Speaker 60 He could be up, he could be up for a takeie coming Friday.

Speaker 49 He had a busy day. Yeah, he did.

Speaker 4 All right, my cool throne is Zach.

Speaker 6 It is the summer of Zach.

Speaker 48 Zach,

Speaker 57 maybe when we do guys on checks, he'll give us an update whether he's going on a date or not.

Speaker 54 But, Zach, I had a friend of ours hit me up and was like, hey, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ever heard of them?

Speaker 13 Would like to send something to the office?

Speaker 48 And I said, well, I know that we have one massive Bucs

Speaker 54 fan here at Barcelona Sports, and his name is Zach.

Speaker 16 Can't think of another.

Speaker 39 Look at this.

Speaker 10 They sent you a box.

Speaker 16 You want to open it on here, bring it back to the.

Speaker 93 Oh, is that a weight at the bottom of it?

Speaker 34 Yeah, there's a weight at the bottom.

Speaker 81 Yeah, we're back to Connor McGregor's penis.

Speaker 42 I didn't see that part.

Speaker 10 Zach, go back in there and open it up.

Speaker 5 Let's see what's in there.

Speaker 103 Cool throw on Zach.

Speaker 15 Yeah, there's a weight.

Speaker 42 He was doing weightlifting. I did not see.

Speaker 69 I think it's Kegel's.

Speaker 42 it too long, but it.

Speaker 104 I tried to do a Kegel once.

Speaker 49 You just squeeze.

Speaker 13 Yeah, and I was just like, nothing.

Speaker 49 I don't think there's weights involved, though.

Speaker 107 It was one of those things that, like, what's more embarrassing, doing Keggles or coming too fast?

Speaker 49 Well, it's like if you do

Speaker 49 Kegels, maybe you'll increase your time from 30 seconds to 45 seconds.

Speaker 16 Right.

Speaker 57 And so I made the executive decision right away.

Speaker 13 It's like the more embarrassing thing here is having people be like, hey, you do Kegels.

Speaker 79 Yeah.

Speaker 20 Rather just stay the status quo.

Speaker 3 All right, Zach, what is in the box?

Speaker 41 What's in the box?

Speaker 67 What's in the box?

Speaker 82 Oh, we got 50 seasons on the front.

Speaker 38 Okay.

Speaker 13 So this is, I believe, new uniform.

Speaker 60 I think I know.

Speaker 26 It's got a letter.

Speaker 38 Okay.

Speaker 82 We want to include you a special preview of the newest piece of Buccaneers history.

Speaker 82 Inside this box is an early look at the modern nod to the original 1976 jersey that helped define the starter that Buccaneers football.

Speaker 82 This reimagined piece of our history is more than just a throwback. It is a celebration of where we've been and

Speaker 41 how far we have come.

Speaker 82 We're excited to share it with you ahead of the official reveal.

Speaker 69 Outside of,

Speaker 82 out of respect for the full unveiling, we kindly ask you to hold off on sharing or posting anything from this package until 10:30 Eastern on Tuesday, July 15th. You're good.

Speaker 60 Oh, we're good. Yeah.

Speaker 82 Thanks for being a part of this moment with us. And here's the next 50 seasons of Buccaneers Football.
Sincerely, your friends in Buccaneers.

Speaker 35 Wow. Love that.

Speaker 59 I can keep this? Yeah. See it.
Show the jersey.

Speaker 74 Show it to us. It looks so sick.

Speaker 38 Oh, wow.

Speaker 22 It's so sick.

Speaker 55 Oh, wow.

Speaker 35 Oh, come on.

Speaker 44 Come on.

Speaker 85 That thing is awesome.

Speaker 70 That's he. Oh, there's not two of them.

Speaker 82 There's another one. Somebody wants a jersey.

Speaker 81 I think that one was for Stephen Bush. I'll take it.

Speaker 48 I think I asked.

Speaker 27 We got to get this to Steven.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I'll give it to Stephen. I'll give it to Stevens.

Speaker 103 This is so sick. Yeah.

Speaker 82 Oh, listen. I know you guys were ranking jerseys the other day.
Yeah. And this has to get, we got to go up the ladder.

Speaker 38 Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's high.
Come on.

Speaker 95 That's high. Come on.

Speaker 60 Is that your catchphrase?

Speaker 68 It just felt right.

Speaker 35 When I pulled him out.

Speaker 49 I like the way you say it.

Speaker 82 I appreciate you guys for this jersey. And thank you to the Tampa Buccaneers.
And thank you, Big Cat.

Speaker 85 And thank you, Kit T. Yes.

Speaker 38 And

Speaker 82 Max and No Memes.

Speaker 49 And thank you, Sarah Walsh, our good friend.

Speaker 82 Shout out to Sarah Walsh for real.

Speaker 88 Yes. Big Sarah.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 38 This is sick.

Speaker 47 I'm so excited.

Speaker 85 I love it.

Speaker 39 Come on.

Speaker 38 Come on.

Speaker 16 All right, put it on.

Speaker 2 Put it on and do your hot seat cool throne.

Speaker 72 It's the Baker jersey. Oh, those are so clean.

Speaker 103 Those are auto bets.

Speaker 34 We got to bet them when they wear those.

Speaker 16 No, I'm going to give the other one to Chey.

Speaker 35 We got to give the other one to Chey.

Speaker 25 He'll be so mad if he doesn't.

Speaker 67 Oh.

Speaker 85 Ooh.

Speaker 86 Crispy.

Speaker 52 Those are crispy.

Speaker 52 Oh.

Speaker 11 Oh, come on.

Speaker 82 Yeah, these are sick. Yeah.

Speaker 69 You look great. Go, Bucks.

Speaker 82 Yeah.

Speaker 13 Take off the tag.

Speaker 25 You look like a poser.

Speaker 41 There you go.

Speaker 59 All right. Zach, your hot seat cool throw.

Speaker 69 Yes, sir. I got one for you.

Speaker 82 So, hot seat, you guys are competing in a home run derby today. I did enjoy the last home run derby, and Max went 113 for 190.

Speaker 82 So, I would like to see Max is my hot seat today because I would like to see Max go yard again.

Speaker 38 Okay. All right.
Okay.

Speaker 5 That's going to be.

Speaker 57 So, obviously, the start of the show, we'll probably talk about it, but do we want to do predictions that will look stupid afterwards?

Speaker 21 Team Max versus Team Hank.

Speaker 49 I think Hank drafted a great team.

Speaker 22 There was no draft. Good picks, Hank.

Speaker 68 Hank's team looks pretty good.

Speaker 72 I pretty diesel.

Speaker 42 Last year, I think I went nine for 10 three or four times.

Speaker 42 I just went 10 for 10 once.

Speaker 38 Okay.

Speaker 42 That's my personal goal. Yeah,

Speaker 83 once you find it, you're lethal.

Speaker 42 I think you guys.

Speaker 42 Last year, I also tore my bicep and was on the DL for like three weeks. That cannot happen.
I forgot you tore it.

Speaker 49 It can't happen this year.

Speaker 25 How did you tear your bicep?

Speaker 42 From taking a bunch of swings.

Speaker 42 It hurt really bad, like halfway through, but I found it and I just was really competitive and didn't care about the injury. Huge mistake.

Speaker 48 So you're caring about injuries?

Speaker 38 Yes. Okay, fair.

Speaker 68 I also feel like tearing your bicep from swinging is

Speaker 49 kind of soft.

Speaker 55 Soft.

Speaker 42 Yeah, very soft.

Speaker 68 Like people take that many swings.

Speaker 42 We also, there also may have been like a workout suit involved that might have like fucked up my bicep beforehand, but that's all right. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 100 All right, you're cool, cool throne.

Speaker 82 You did hit roughly 85 home runs last year, Hank.

Speaker 72 Roughly or exactly?

Speaker 82 I think it's exact. I skipped all the way to the end of the video to get the graphic.
I may be like one home run off.

Speaker 93 Okay.

Speaker 109 That sounds good. Still strong performance, though.
Yeah.

Speaker 85 All right.

Speaker 82 I do have a quick cool throne. Are you guys familiar with Los Polos TV?

Speaker 112 Yes. No.

Speaker 40 Hank, that's sick.

Speaker 82 So Los Polos is

Speaker 82 a streamer,

Speaker 82 YouTube video.

Speaker 82 So he is what you would call. Anybody familiar with NBA 2K?

Speaker 60 Yes.

Speaker 82 Los Polos would be Mount Rush

Speaker 82 all-time NBA 2K

Speaker 27 player online.

Speaker 42 Great Fortnite player, too.

Speaker 82 Fantastic at Fortnite as well.

Speaker 38 Okay.

Speaker 82 So

Speaker 82 he is

Speaker 82 cool throne today because Los Polos on record, big Drake fan, historically massive Drake fan.

Speaker 82 And this last weekend at the Wireless Festival in London, he was not only shouted out on stage, but he was also

Speaker 82 main feed Instagram posted. I loved seeing this for him.
I knew it was a huge moment. And as someone who grew up watching Los Post TV, I love this for him.

Speaker 69 I'm looking at this.

Speaker 27 Good for him. Cool for me.

Speaker 104 Shout out Los Polos.

Speaker 2 I love this because when Zach does these and I have no idea what they are,

Speaker 86 usually like the account will

Speaker 113 be like, thanks for the shout-out, pardon my take.

Speaker 57 That is Joey Camasta.

Speaker 60 That's just Joey.

Speaker 113 They'll be like, thanks for the shout-out, pardon my take.

Speaker 24 And I'll look at the person and they have like 10 million followers.

Speaker 72 Like, wow, that was actually good. Yeah.

Speaker 49 Work, Zach. So, Joey.
So Drake's his boy now.

Speaker 82 They look pretty broed up in the photo.

Speaker 35 They do look broed up.

Speaker 42 And we talked about like Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard.

Speaker 42 It's kind of like the Rizzler.

Speaker 42 And then Los Polos would be the next iteration. And then Los Polos' dad would be Charizard.

Speaker 49 The adult version of the Rizzler.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 41 Got it.

Speaker 70 AJ. Big Justice, you mean?

Speaker 42 No, the Rizzler.

Speaker 46 No, but the adult version of the Rizzler is Big Justice.

Speaker 69 No.

Speaker 60 No, what are you talking about?

Speaker 82 What? It's Wad.

Speaker 68 So Los Polos TV's dad is also like a guy?

Speaker 82 Yeah, they stream together.

Speaker 38 Oh, yeah, they're identical.

Speaker 49 Those are the same guy.

Speaker 16 The exact same guy.

Speaker 42 His dad has some fucking hilarious, hilarious clips.

Speaker 51 Wad is the man.

Speaker 7 So it's Jay Portnoy and Mr. Portnoy?

Speaker 72 Yeah, I guess. Yeah.

Speaker 70 Okay.

Speaker 68 It's going to be crazy when Zach's a bigger streamer than all these guys.

Speaker 72 Yeah. Crazy.
This is going to be crazy all.

Speaker 82 Not a chance.

Speaker 62 Los Polos is going to be Hall of Fame all-time stamp.

Speaker 82 Oh, yeah. Los Polos is the guy.

Speaker 4 Wait, how long have you been watching Los Polos?

Speaker 82 Many and many a year.

Speaker 49 Okay. What's your favorite moment from Los Polos?

Speaker 82 Anything 2K related. Also, when it's a running thing, he reads threats from the chat, and they're always hilarious.

Speaker 15 He reads threats?

Speaker 22 Yes. Okay.

Speaker 5 Wait, so he was just nasty at 2K?

Speaker 82 Yeah, he's great at the game, and also, like, he just, it builds a sense of, like, you're playing a game, you're also watching Los play the game. It's like a

Speaker 82 hanging out.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 35 I love that.

Speaker 63 Love that.

Speaker 24 Stuff no one cares about.

Speaker 82 That'd be Big Cat and Zach.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 88 Then me and Max are second.

Speaker 68 It's It's going counterclockwise.

Speaker 80 Well, no, we're all screwed up.

Speaker 72 We can't do that.

Speaker 80 We're all screwed up on this.

Speaker 6 By the way, I just want to say a caveat before I think it's very cool to care about things.

Speaker 13 This is not an indictment on caring. Caring is cool.
Everyone has things they love and care about.

Speaker 50 But this is just stuff people don't care about.

Speaker 47 Okay.

Speaker 52 The first pick we will take

Speaker 40 your fantasy team.

Speaker 27 Don't care about your fantasy team.

Speaker 49 It's a good pick.

Speaker 52 I don't know how the phrasing.

Speaker 5 So is it going to say your fantasy team?

Speaker 68 I think all of it is going to be like like your guess, I think.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Okay.

Speaker 42 Or is it someone else's or fantasy team?

Speaker 42 I guess, yeah.

Speaker 38 I think it has to be your. I think it's your fantasy team.

Speaker 90 Yeah. I think it's yours.

Speaker 38 I think your has to be yours.

Speaker 73 I think we can just do that for all, for most of most of the, yeah.

Speaker 68 Okay. Um, what are you thinking?

Speaker 27 Did you guys have that on your list?

Speaker 13 Yeah, we did. Yeah.

Speaker 55 We all.

Speaker 68 I think the first couple are on everyone's list.

Speaker 55 We're going to go your dreams.

Speaker 41 Okay. Yeah.
Good one.

Speaker 47 Have that.

Speaker 49 All right, so we're going to double up.

Speaker 76 It's you here.

Speaker 26 Yeah, we're going to double up.

Speaker 49 I think, Hank, I think we go number three and then number two.

Speaker 42 I trust you wholeheartedly.

Speaker 67 Okay.

Speaker 39 Your parlay.

Speaker 114 Had it.

Speaker 49 Going to take that, and then on the way back, COVID.

Speaker 49 Okay. No one cares about it anymore.
Yep.

Speaker 68 That's a good one. That's true.

Speaker 68 I have.

Speaker 79 Imagine all of the people.

Speaker 74 I'm going to accept a veto on this next bed.

Speaker 70 All right, veto.

Speaker 38 Auto veto?

Speaker 35 No.

Speaker 13 Give it to us.

Speaker 68 It's just that these two things are so similar that I want that I understand, but they're whatever.

Speaker 68 I will say your dog/slash child photos.

Speaker 5 No, it's got to be one or the other.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 55 Okay.

Speaker 38 I will take it.

Speaker 72 They're not that similar. They're not similar.

Speaker 49 No, they're pretty much the same thing. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 38 Yeah. One dog.

Speaker 91 Well, you have to do it. But it's like the same thing.

Speaker 49 You have a dog. It's the exact same thing.
Raising it.

Speaker 22 It's a puppy as it is a baby.

Speaker 68 No, but it's just the, but it's the pay, it's the picture of like, whatever. I will, I will take your child, your child's photos.

Speaker 38 Okay. Okay.
Okay.

Speaker 49 It seems seems a little cold-hearted. Yeah.

Speaker 68 But that, I mean, that's the

Speaker 49 Max hates kids.

Speaker 42 They brought a human being into this world. That's like the hardest thing someone can do.

Speaker 55 Okay. You.

Speaker 42 That's my pick. That's pretty disrespectful to your mom.

Speaker 70 That's my pick.

Speaker 24 That is very disrespectful to your mom.

Speaker 42 Like, if your mom posts on Facebook, you're like, Mom, why are you posting this bullshit?

Speaker 49 It's actually disrespectful to all moms.

Speaker 38 Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 66 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 42 It sounds like you dogs, on the other hand.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Fair point.

Speaker 2 What do we do here, Zach?

Speaker 82 Do you like eight?

Speaker 82 There's eight not strong enough. We do have some other hitters, maybe.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 49 We do have some hitters.

Speaker 46 We have a couple hitters.

Speaker 13 Man, this is tough. This is tough.

Speaker 7 This is where it gets tough.

Speaker 19 This is where it gets tough.

Speaker 82 That one was taken.

Speaker 57 I think one, two.

Speaker 2 That one is very tough.

Speaker 42 You still have your 1-1?

Speaker 9 Yeah, we still do.

Speaker 50 Well, we didn't order it exactly the right way, but I do think that one is.

Speaker 69 4.

Speaker 40 I was 164, so yeah, one in four plays.

Speaker 10 All right, so this is a little different than the kids' photos.

Speaker 28 Don't care about your kids' sports accomplishments.

Speaker 54 Like when people are like, oh, my kid did awesome in, you know, T-ball or like this. Like, I know when I say it to someone, I'm like, this is the most boring thing I could possibly tell someone.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 42 It's a participation trophy. Right.
Right.

Speaker 99 So

Speaker 42 16 or 14. It's huge sports.

Speaker 69 Like, if they're in high school, it could be something.

Speaker 93 But yeah.

Speaker 16 When you're like, yeah, my kid had a double in T-ball.

Speaker 49 Don't fucking care. I would even say that when Archie Manning talks about his children, I tune out.
Yeah. Quit bragging on your kids, dude.
Yeah.

Speaker 104 And then

Speaker 10 don't care about your opinion on politics.

Speaker 28 Just don't care.

Speaker 18 When someone gives, shares their opinion on politics.

Speaker 20 Do not care.

Speaker 42 Yeah, but what if they can shape your opinion?

Speaker 60 I don't care.

Speaker 9 When someone shares their opinion on politics, I do not care.

Speaker 49 Sometimes it's interesting. If it's a wild celebrity and they go in a a direction that you did not think that they were going to go.

Speaker 38 Yeah. And I'm like, oh, okay.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 42 No, yeah. Athletes, when they do it, it's like, yeah.

Speaker 42 I like watching you hit bombs.

Speaker 38 Right.

Speaker 98 Right.

Speaker 76 I don't care. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 15 It's good piss. So it could be celebrities' opinions on politics specifically.

Speaker 79 Because I do not care at all.

Speaker 42 Athletes, you do.

Speaker 57 So, I mean, celebrities and athletes are the same thing.

Speaker 50 Would you want me to put athletes slash celebrities? No.

Speaker 72 Celebrities, that's fine. Okay.

Speaker 68 Okay.

Speaker 68 We're going to go with your concert videos.

Speaker 38 Yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 92 Really good one.

Speaker 27 And everyone takes it out that one.

Speaker 68 Is there anything quicker that you

Speaker 68 scroll upon on Instagram that it's like someone putting their entire concert? It's like, oh, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

Speaker 89 Don't care about this at all.

Speaker 73 Yeah. Yep.

Speaker 49 They upload like an hour and 20 minutes to YouTube from the shittiest angle with the worst audio.

Speaker 104 Good pick. Good pick.

Speaker 49 Okay, so it's on us, Hank.

Speaker 42 I like six a lot.

Speaker 49 I know you love six.

Speaker 99 Do it.

Speaker 49 You love six.

Speaker 42 And then you, but you can do whatever you want first.

Speaker 16 Whether or not you're drunk at the funeral.

Speaker 49 I think five is good, too.

Speaker 40 Yeah, your ball.

Speaker 49 Oh, who's making the picks? This is me. 15.

Speaker 49 All right, so I'm going to go with Hank's pick.

Speaker 49 Your workout pictures.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 84 Yeah.

Speaker 23 Unless they're hot.

Speaker 70 If it's a hot chick, I'm just throwing that out there.

Speaker 8 That's the hot chick.

Speaker 47 That's totally different. That's right.

Speaker 91 A hot chick working out is

Speaker 91 that.

Speaker 42 What about a guy when they're like.

Speaker 54 But I'm saying the hot chick working out, I care.

Speaker 49 That's what I told Hank. Yeah.

Speaker 82 That's also the highest percentage of workout photos you'll see is attracted to women.

Speaker 79 Yeah, true.

Speaker 49 And then for the last one, we're going to go soccer.

Speaker 49 No one cares about soccer.

Speaker 69 Soccer as a whole.

Speaker 67 Soccer.

Speaker 49 The sport of soccer.

Speaker 90 Soccer. Okay.

Speaker 49 I think it's going to play well nicely on the graphic.

Speaker 42 Okay. Biggest sport in the world.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 68 Memes and I just stumbled upon one that I thought was our, I realized it has not been taken yet.

Speaker 108 Your golf round.

Speaker 69 Oh. Yeah.

Speaker 49 Hank vetoed that.

Speaker 74 Yeah.

Speaker 76 Did you want to say that?

Speaker 49 No, Hank made a good point, which is that golfers do care about your golf round. But like this.
No one, no.

Speaker 79 No one.

Speaker 49 I care. Hank does care.

Speaker 42 But to your, it is, it's if, if it's someone you know and it's a course you've played,

Speaker 42 that's

Speaker 68 so like specific, though. Yeah.

Speaker 42 And like if someone has a has a great round,

Speaker 68 don't care.

Speaker 42 Oh, I'm smashing the heart every time

Speaker 38 Yeah, dialed.

Speaker 49 I think they care to the extent that if they've also played that course they can then be like yeah, well, when I was on that course, this is what I did.

Speaker 41 Yeah,

Speaker 68 but if you like see someone and they're and they're like, oh, what did you do today? They're like, oh, I golfed. I had it.
I hit a birdie on 15 to get me on. I'm like, don't care.

Speaker 42 Slotted.

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 55 All right.

Speaker 2 Zach, what do we do?

Speaker 5 Because I think we can't pick the thing we wanted to pick.

Speaker 82 You don't think we can pick 21?

Speaker 54 It was a stronger pick than what they picked, but should we say it?

Speaker 82 I just think those two things are vastly different.

Speaker 75 I do.

Speaker 82 One's an organization and one is a soccer.

Speaker 86 We were going to pick the MLS

Speaker 102 specifically, but I don't know if that gets vetoed.

Speaker 70 We thought a lot of people.

Speaker 64 But a lot of people care about soccer.

Speaker 12 No one cares about the MLS.

Speaker 92 The biggest sport in the world.

Speaker 16 Not even the MLS cares.

Speaker 49 No one really cares about soccer, though.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 50 Yeah, I mean, I think people do care about soccer.

Speaker 20 I think no one cares about the MLS.

Speaker 51 No one cares about soccer.

Speaker 54 I mean, there's definitely a lot of people that care about soccer.

Speaker 90 Matters, care.

Speaker 91 We'll do something different.

Speaker 16 What about 13?

Speaker 96 What are you feeling about 13?

Speaker 5 That's kind of in the mood these days.

Speaker 10 Kidding up on the time.

Speaker 82 Can't hear you, Zach. I like 13.
Do you think, one quick glance at our list, do you think there's anything stronger?

Speaker 56 I think

Speaker 48 17.

Speaker 72 Yeah. Ooh.

Speaker 38 9. So strong.
What about 9, Zach?

Speaker 95 Stop it.

Speaker 49 It's not right, guys.

Speaker 88 23.

Speaker 86 Yeah, let's do 17.

Speaker 27 Let's rip 17. No, wait, wait.
Hold on. 13 is.

Speaker 82 you're right. 13 is good.

Speaker 113 No, I like 17. Let's go.
Let's stay strong.

Speaker 55 Don't break.

Speaker 113 Stay strong, don't break. Stay strong, don't break.
13 is strong. Stay strong, don't break.

Speaker 7 NBA All-Star game.

Speaker 58 Do not care.

Speaker 4 Do not care at all.

Speaker 49 Fun to complain about.

Speaker 20 Yeah, but it's just, it's the do not care at all.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 93 No one cares. It's a good pick.
Good.

Speaker 34 13 was your marathon training.

Speaker 42 I think the Pro Bowl is a stronger pick than marathon training is probably.

Speaker 38 I don't even think anyone watches the Pro Bowl.

Speaker 69 Yeah, but exactly.

Speaker 16 But I mean, the NBA All-Star game game gets talked about, and I don't care.

Speaker 85 I forgot that the problem happened last time.

Speaker 68 The fact that people talk about it means that people care more about that than the program.

Speaker 42 I'm happy you didn't pick Marathon Training. That's probably a better version of your workout pictures.

Speaker 112 Yeah.

Speaker 85 Probably.

Speaker 3 All right, so we fucked up, Zach.

Speaker 40 Fucked that up.

Speaker 68 No, we say that Marathon Training is a. Oh, Marathon Training is a good one.

Speaker 42 Great one. Great one.

Speaker 82 They're just saying that to say it.

Speaker 42 Don't let them get to you. No, I'm not.

Speaker 91 MLS would have been way better than soccer kids.

Speaker 38 Do you agree?

Speaker 51 Dude, no one cares about soccer.

Speaker 38 MLS though MLS is different from the city, no one always cares about thinking about the world about soccer.

Speaker 101 Zach, do you agree?

Speaker 76 MLS would have been a great analyst.

Speaker 68 MLS is a way better pick.

Speaker 9 Game one soccer player.

Speaker 76 Although,

Speaker 38 Christian Ronaldo.

Speaker 90 I'll give you this.

Speaker 97 It's a better pick, but

Speaker 49 soccer looks way better. Wait a minute.

Speaker 69 What did you just say? Cole Palmer?

Speaker 68 Hold on. You just said Lionel Messi, though.

Speaker 39 Messi also soccer player. Yeah.

Speaker 68 Also plays for the MLS.

Speaker 93 Shit. True.

Speaker 85 Good point.

Speaker 39 Your argument was MLS is better.

Speaker 82 Messi vacations at the MLS. His legacy was not that much.

Speaker 85 That's true, facts.

Speaker 54 Way to fight for someone.

Speaker 82 Picks on other other grown men in the MOS.

Speaker 68 I'm on your side, but that was a bad argument.

Speaker 86 Zach had your feelings.

Speaker 64 Like, he doesn't care about other people's feelings.

Speaker 68 Memes had a couple bangers that are just.

Speaker 38 I had your day. Oh, that's a good one.
That's your day.

Speaker 91 Yeah.

Speaker 103 Zach also had one that I was.

Speaker 76 Well, that's just such a meme thing.

Speaker 38 It is, yeah. It's true.

Speaker 47 It's true.

Speaker 64 Zach had movies.

Speaker 64 He doesn't care about movies.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 68 Memes had something similar. He was like, the movie that you saw, but I was like, that's actually one thing I do care about.

Speaker 60 You kind of care about.

Speaker 68 Because if you saw a good movie

Speaker 68 and I respect your opinion, I will want to watch that movie.

Speaker 42 Or if I was going to go see it and that is bad.

Speaker 38 Like, I want to know about it.

Speaker 51 I won't go see it.

Speaker 88 Would the Dallas Cowboys have played on the graphic?

Speaker 49 I mean, the numbers say that people care about it. That's it.

Speaker 68 That was my

Speaker 42 numbers are irrelevant in this discussion.

Speaker 10 Some big picture ones.

Speaker 69 I professional box on the list.

Speaker 22 Ooh, I care.

Speaker 49 Professional boxing?

Speaker 50 A couple tough ones that I wanted to throw on there because I personally don't care, but I think a lot of people do care about it, is celebrity couples and the royal family.

Speaker 60 Yeah. Don't care.
Yeah.

Speaker 48 But that is someone that like a lot of people care about.

Speaker 55 Coney 2012.

Speaker 108 No, I care.

Speaker 49 Okay. No, Max, you don't care.

Speaker 68 No, I don't.

Speaker 42 The one time you got really drunk in college.

Speaker 28 Yeah, I had your

Speaker 12 sports accomplishments.

Speaker 55 Do you?

Speaker 5 Yeah, because it shows our fans, the AWLs.

Sometimes I'm like, wow, that looks really good.

Speaker 14 Where was that?

Speaker 42 But that's going to be a good thing. See, that's where it's like,

Speaker 42 for people that play golf, it's just you for food.

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 68 Everyone eats food.

Speaker 74 But no one

Speaker 76 someone who doesn't eat food.

Speaker 38 Most people are naming someone. Someone who doesn't eat food.

Speaker 101 That looks good.

Speaker 93 Did you name it?

Speaker 76 I need people who don't golf.

Speaker 42 Most people don't care about other people's food.

Speaker 48 You're like, oh, most people eat.

Speaker 85 All people eat.

Speaker 68 Yeah. Not all people eat golf.

Speaker 49 All people eat. Fact.

Speaker 3 I got one that actually when we decided to do this topic, it was, I think, the first thing that popped in my head, and it doesn't probably work, but it works for me personally.

Speaker 104 I don't care about crosswalks.

Speaker 69 Okay. At all.
Big J guy? I just don't care.

Speaker 48 Like, they tell me where I got to walk.

Speaker 38 I'm going to to walk where I want to walk.

Speaker 85 I don't care.

Speaker 5 Especially, like, New York City.

Speaker 27 I don't think I ever walked in across the street.

Speaker 42 No, yeah, I'm a J.

Speaker 16 You're just fucking going right across the street.

Speaker 2 Just don't care.

Speaker 48 That's a, they're a soft, they're softly telling me where to walk, and I'm saying, no, I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 54 Don't care. We had Katy Perry.

Speaker 74 Yeah.

Speaker 41 Ah, I still care about her.

Speaker 49 The fish that you caught? Cannons.

Speaker 42 Fish that you caught. Yeah.
Fish that you caught.

Speaker 60 That would have been tough.

Speaker 74 Fish that you caught.

Speaker 75 That's a good one.

Speaker 49 That would have been tough while Hank is wearing a fish hat. Yeah.

Speaker 86 Don't care about washing jeans.

Speaker 42 Nope. That's a good one.
Yeah.

Speaker 49 Spam callers?

Speaker 69 Or like the people who stay on the bus? Oh, I can't do that.

Speaker 42 Oh, physical male.

Speaker 86 Physical male, do not care.

Speaker 28 That's a great answer.

Speaker 42 Should have done that.

Speaker 58 That's a great answer. The male.

Speaker 39 Your allergies?

Speaker 80 Don't care. Don't care.

Speaker 49 The Jeffrey Epstein list. Who's Jeffrey Epstein? Yeah.

Speaker 16 People are still on that.

Speaker 49 No one talks about it.

Speaker 22 People still care about that.

Speaker 69 There isn't. Moved on.
Yeah.

Speaker 48 Come on.

Speaker 2 Your pregnancy post on Facebook.

Speaker 74 Also, your engagement posts.

Speaker 38 Those are nice. Meh.

Speaker 38 I like knowing those are not.

Speaker 70 those are two nice things.

Speaker 76 I like knowing who's knocked up.

Speaker 16 Show me when there's a baby.

Speaker 69 I want to see an actual baby.

Speaker 44 Okay, that's fair.

Speaker 49 Billboards?

Speaker 74 Yeah, yeah. You said billboards.

Speaker 49 Billboards is good.

Speaker 82 Commercials on gas pumps?

Speaker 60 Oh, yes.

Speaker 42 Don't care. Commercials and cabs.

Speaker 28 Commercials and cabs, yeah.

Speaker 88 The people who stand outside of stores that try to sell you something?

Speaker 21 Yeah. There's a ton in Chicago.
Yeah.

Speaker 49 Kickers.

Speaker 41 Ah, that's one that matters a lot.

Speaker 91 You care a lot about them.

Speaker 54 You care a lot about them.

Speaker 57 Yeah, interior offensive lineman. Yeah.

Speaker 49 Hank said your new haircut.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 50 I'd say that's fair.

Speaker 42 I was just trying to think of, I was getting the mindset of like when I go on Instagram and people post X, like, when am I like, this is the dumbest thing.

Speaker 28 Oh, your vacation. Yeah.

Speaker 92 Don't care. No.

Speaker 11 Don't care about the weather on your vacation specifically.

Speaker 63 When people come back and they're like, oh, the weather was incredible.

Speaker 33 Don't care.

Speaker 40 Your commute, do not care.

Speaker 34 Someone shares their commute, like, oh, it's terrible getting in today.

Speaker 62 It's like, all right, cool.

Speaker 68 I hope there's so many AWLs who are listening to this and they just like go and delete their entire Instagram story because they're like, fuck, nobody cares about

Speaker 68 what I have just posted.

Speaker 100 It's a golf round.

Speaker 49 But there's a lot of NBA All-Star game recap. There's a lot of stuff that you do care about.
Yeah. Everybody posts, but just we all don't like when other people do it.

Speaker 69 Correct.

Speaker 59 Yeah.

Speaker 2 But yeah, I mean, like I said, it's cool to care.

Speaker 16 This isn't an indictment on caring.

Speaker 86 This is just stuff that I think we all can agree don't really care.

Speaker 48 Yeah.

Speaker 74 Like I

Speaker 42 still post all these things. I just don't care what other people do.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 10 But I think it's also good to have self-awareness.

Speaker 48 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 54 Like when I do say like, oh, like, oh, my son had a double in T-Ball, I'm like, this is, I wish I could stop this story right now and not say it.

Speaker 25 Like, this is stupid.

Speaker 65 I shouldn't be sharing this.

Speaker 69 Or like when you talk about your golf round,

Speaker 48 the national

Speaker 42 you asked me.

Speaker 42 I do not bring it up unprompted.

Speaker 38 Well, we talk about a whole recap.

Speaker 49 We talk about our days on this podcast. Yeah.

Speaker 51 And our children. It's tough to avoid.

Speaker 60 And I have 18. Your children is 18.
18.

Speaker 85 Memes doesn't care about your day.

Speaker 49 You just don't. I like that, memes.

Speaker 109 That's brutal honesty.

Speaker 49 Memes only cares about hate.

Speaker 38 Yeah. And memes.

Speaker 49 Man, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 114 When you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 117 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.

Speaker 117 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 30 Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest, two-time World Series champion, the flying Hawaiian, Shane Victorino.

Speaker 57 I'll start with a really stupid question.

Speaker 34 How much better does two-time World Series champion sound than one-time?

Speaker 37 That's got to be like, because you got the second at the end of your career.

Speaker 57 That's nice that people always have to introduce you as two-time World Series champion.

Speaker 40 It's nice to get one, but you're right. To get two, it's absolutely amazing.

Speaker 40 I mean, to hear it, you know, I always told people growing up, just to, you know, tell yourself that to be a one-time World Champion was good enough, but to be two, it's pretty fun.

Speaker 57 Do you ever bust out the rings?

Speaker 67 Never.

Speaker 38 Why?

Speaker 40 Because I honestly tell you, if I got to wear my ring, then I didn't do enough. on a baseball field.

Speaker 60 What do you mean? Meaning like...

Speaker 51 You are the ring.

Speaker 40 Yeah, I mean, I gotta tell myself, like, if I have to and not in a negative way and I always tell people it's a it's it's more of a I call it the fact that if you understand that I was a World Series champion I was a big part of you know those championships that hopefully I won't have to wear my ring to show my you know kind of a thing more than just saying but you're right as far as where everywhere I go and everybody hears that everybody wants to see him everybody wants to touch him I'm like the question is do you have where I'm like Honestly, I don't really like to.

Speaker 40 And again, I don't want to attract the attention.

Speaker 48 I mean, honestly, thinking about me walking in a room anywhere I go with a big old fat ring everybody's gonna be like, a flutch i think it's like yeah you know i don't know if you if you never won one then you say i would wear that all the time yeah and then you i guess i'm being a little you know i think this is the difference between like athletes and regular guys because i dream of like any championship ring i would wear it all the time yeah we got a championship ring for our lacrosse team that we own and she'd wear that all the time yeah she lost

Speaker 40 do you know where your rings are i do know okay yes they're definitely tucked away nicely because maybe you should say you don't know that would even be that'd be worse yeah that.

Speaker 38 I sold them. Don't know.

Speaker 47 I told them like it has to be.

Speaker 38 I don't know where they are. Like, I can't find them.

Speaker 57 I got so many trophies.

Speaker 40 Yeah, it's sad to see when you do hear people selling them.

Speaker 38 Like you said, you know, but I know.

Speaker 49 You said before we started taping, you were very lucky. You got to play in two great sports towns.
So what is the better sports town, Philly or Manahim?

Speaker 40 You tell me. No.

Speaker 40 I tell people it's two unbelievable fan bases that have a love and a passion for their sports.

Speaker 40 And well, I separate the two and how I separate the two is, you know, and then there are two different championships. One, like you said, was early in my career.
I was a young kid.

Speaker 40 Later on, I was at the back end. But what separates the two for me was I.

Speaker 40 There's not many championships in the city of Philadelphia and people don't realize that. And people don't talk about that all the time.

Speaker 40 People think that Philadelphia, there's, you know, a plethora of

Speaker 40 trophies or championships in that city. So I take that a little bit more on that side because there's not many.
Like the game of baseball, you know, we lost over 10,000 games.

Speaker 40 I remember I was a part of it and it's still there. And you look and go, 10,000 games, we've been around forever.
There was one championship. And then we became the second.

Speaker 40 So like those kind of things are what makes, I think, Philadelphia a little bit more. I mean, you think about it.
Tom Brady won what? Seven. And then you got the Celtics have won.

Speaker 40 And then, you know, they won in four, seven. We won in 13, 18.
I mean, that's a lot of championships in just the last 20 years in a city.

Speaker 40 So I always tell people, that's what makes Philadelphia to me a little bit more special. But, I mean, as far as going back to the fan bases, man, to win in those kind of cities, special.

Speaker 49 I think with Philly, it's that they let you know when they win one. So, yeah, they've got a handful of rings, right? But they let you know for years and years, like, hey, you remember that team?

Speaker 49 It kind of becomes more of a focus, more, more like a.

Speaker 80 Well, because you don't have many.

Speaker 40 That's what I'm saying. It's hard to go and say in Boston, well, shit, Brady's got seven.
You know, the Celtics got how many in each sport. So that's what I think.

Speaker 40 That's, again, going back to that, touching that point, is that that's what

Speaker 40 is where I feel like they come egotistic about it because they don't have many. If you do have a lot, you act a little differently.

Speaker 40 I'm not saying you call it, take it for granted, but if you know that in every major sport, you got a chance to win a championship in the city of Boston. It's pretty different, you know?

Speaker 57 Is it, have you gone back to both cities and can you feel the difference?

Speaker 62 Like in that Philly, you know, they're like there's Shane Victorino.

Speaker 40 I spent eight years there and I spent two and a half in Boston. So that's another thing I tell people like, so in regards to that, yes.

Speaker 40 And then, you know, Boston was what made Boston special was the fact that the bombings and the magnitude of what had happened at the beginning of the year and how we were able to transcend that like the city and bring the joy and the pride that was what was cool about you know i get to touch on it that second championship was that big factor so i mean but as i said both great unbelievable fan base this is our

Speaker 49 poppy yeah can you answer your question because i've always wondered this about david ortiz when whenever he'd hit a triple it'd be like once every two years you'd get really excited for some reason do you know why he would get so excited about hitting a triple because it was always about his speed bro you know i mean he wasn't very fast so to be able to go from first to third it's a big moment A lot of times, if he's hitting it that far, it's usually in the seat, so he doesn't, you know.

Speaker 49 But maybe there's something else that he got excited about.

Speaker 40 Oh, maybe I didn't know that one.

Speaker 49 Yeah, he had maybe a little secret deal at

Speaker 108 home.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 79 You get a triple.

Speaker 112 Oh, wow.

Speaker 101 I didn't know that. Well, damn, man.

Speaker 40 Good for him.

Speaker 29 Wait, speaking of speed, you ran a 4-3 in high school?

Speaker 84 I did.

Speaker 40 I was pretty fast.

Speaker 19 That's wide receiver speed.

Speaker 40 That's insane. But I also was 5'9 and 150 pounds.

Speaker 69 Yeah, but that's insane speed.

Speaker 40 I had, I mean, but again, at the the end of the day that was my game in the big leagues you know i tell people i wasn't a baseball player like i had god-given speed through all the sports that i played through growing up and that was my one two and then and even in baseball that became the you know the tool that carried me to the sport but yeah i mean could i have i mean i i loved i i thought i was going to be the next you know I love soccer.

Speaker 40 I don't know if you guys knew that, but soccer was my favorite sport. I thought I was going to be the next Pele.
And, you know, being as fast as I was, it was so much fun playing soccer.

Speaker 40 Just running by everyone. You want to go over there? I want to push it five feet and I'm going to run by you.
And that was cool.

Speaker 19 So rank your sports, what you were best at.

Speaker 50 Obviously, baseball.

Speaker 40 Soccer was my best.

Speaker 69 Okay, soccer was your best. Soccer was my number one.

Speaker 70 That's such an awesome flag.

Speaker 40 Soccer number was number one. And like I said, I wanted to be Pele.
I grew up wanting to be like Pele. I wanted to be set out.
But at 99, you know, there was really nothing.

Speaker 40 And my dad was like, well, you can go overseas. I was like, I don't want to go overseas.

Speaker 40 Football, my dad was like, you're 5'9. So that became my second sport because I wanted, I finally got to play it, put on the helmets, the flex.
You can't catch me. It's like how to

Speaker 40 cat a mouse on a football field. So I love football.

Speaker 40 and then baseball was like the fourth because it was the hardest so it was three three was track wait was baseball your worst sport worst well it wasn't the worst it was the hardest so I didn't like it but but again having a father that sat me down my senior year and goes okay son you're small soccer's not an option you don't want to run for a living well if you get drafted maybe baseball becomes you know maybe it's an opportunity there yeah and that's how it played out honestly that's baseball's hard i mean we were touching upon it earlier you know before we got him on it's like baseball is the hardest thing to do in the world i i mean i don't care golf's hard listen you can play golf an 80-year-old man can play golf a 70-year-old kick him but if i tell you know hey let's go down to the park and let me throw a 70 mile an hour 80 mile an hour fastball at you i was gonna throw the first one at your head that's part of the game so and you'll never want to step back in so right that's the hardest so that's why i didn't play it growing up you know like i mean i played it but it wasn't like yeah i want to go play baseball every day that's crazy what what uh do you remember like your worst slump in in the big leagues and what you did to get out of it because you're right like the baseball and we've talked to a lot of baseball players the fact that you could fail for like two weeks at a sport and and still be a good you know what I mean and still

Speaker 40 be a really good and then you hit three hits on the you know after 14 days you're like I'm back I'm good I think well some of my toughest slumps was a lot of it was mental too it's just it's like you said it's such a grind so not only are you physically not able to achieve some of the goals but you're just mentally grinding through it so I mean, I remember a lot of our coaches, which having great of them, you know, great coaches was a lot of them would sit me for a day and just tell me like, you're not playing tonight.

Speaker 40 Don't even do nothing. Go sit inside.
You know, I might need you in the eighth or ninth if the game comes up. And then the next day you come out and you just, it's almost like a re-register.

Speaker 40 It wasn't like this big, you know. I mean, baseball's hard, as I said.

Speaker 40 When you go through those things, it's such a, I tell people the mental side of what makes baseball hard is that, like you said, you go, I can go three weeks without being successful at all.

Speaker 40 You'd be doing that, you know, would you be happy with that at your driver?

Speaker 100 No chance.

Speaker 40 You're doing a radio station if you're right.

Speaker 46 If you did a bad show for two weeks, you're off. You're fired.

Speaker 40 So, that's what, like you said, what's crazy about baseball.

Speaker 77 Yeah, so yeah, what uh, so back to your high school days,

Speaker 57 you got an offer to play for June Jones at Hawaii?

Speaker 40 I did to kick, I did, to kick.

Speaker 12 Do you did you ever consider that?

Speaker 12 I did.

Speaker 40 Well, I that was an option.

Speaker 40 I mean, that was the second option, and the reason that that was actually the heavily weighed option was I had a mom, right, who looked at me and said, You're never gonna be a big leaguer, it's not a reality.

Speaker 40 You go to college, getting a diploma, or getting an education, getting you know, and and

Speaker 40 going on into life, that's your chance. Right.
So that was the biggest challenge. And at the end of it, it was literally on the table and it was the day I got drafted.

Speaker 40 I had a partial scholarship, nothing more than that. It's crazy when people, you know, ask me like, oh, you were probably sought after.

Speaker 40 I go, I said, I had a partial scholarship to go to the University of Hawaii to play baseball. The day I get drafted, I get offered by June Jones a full ride.

Speaker 40 because a kicker scholarship came over and I was a soccer player. So this is how it all turns into.

Speaker 40 I became, and he offered me that and I took it and I was totally gone whole yeah till I realized that I didn't want to go to school

Speaker 26 by the way that's a completely fair thing to do by the way yeah you're the Steve Jobs in sports yeah you're not wanting to go to school but also aside there and this is going to sound obviously like a tourist but the way you said Hawaii was awesome oh thank you yeah I mean that's how I mean how cool is I've been to Hawaii once it's it's magical like growing up there what what what was it like growing up there you grow up in paradise you didn't know any better yeah it's like i tell people anywhere you you know, you're from.

Speaker 40 I mean, there's always something special about your place. Yes, Hawaii is different.
It's this magical place that everybody. But when I was growing up, I just, it was my backyard.

Speaker 69 When did you start surfing?

Speaker 40 I never did. What? Well, you're going to find out.
I knew that was going to caught you. Yes.

Speaker 38 So.

Speaker 40 I think early on in my life, I boogie boarded, I dove, I did all the fishing, I did all the oceans, but I just never got into surfing.

Speaker 40 And then I think there was a couple of times, though, like my friends and I talk now, that when I was boogie boarding as a young kid, I really wasn't good at it.

Speaker 40 And I got waffled, and I didn't have a love for the ocean, and I was always terrified, and I never really found.

Speaker 40 And then the second part is, honestly, I was playing a lot of my sports on land, and that my mom and dad would always say, like, you can't,

Speaker 40 you got soccer practice, you got baseball. Where my buddies would be like, peace out, surf up, I'm gone, you know, and they would go.

Speaker 40 And I always had that, you know, so I never really fell in love with it. I always respected those guys.

Speaker 13 Have you ever thought about as an adult? Like, trying it?

Speaker 40 Trying it. No, I'm way past that in life.
It would be a good video.

Speaker 77 You know, it's funny.

Speaker 40 I've had some of the greatest conversation with those guys and they all asked me, how do you stand there in a batter's box and try to hit a baseball?

Speaker 40 I go, how do you stand there and run on a hundred-foot wave behind you? And you think you're so cool? And I was like,

Speaker 40 there's a different wavelength here.

Speaker 40 So my point is just crazy how people look at baseball, but I look at surfing as that kind of like, it's this, I look at them as legendary because I always thought it was hard.

Speaker 40 I mean, if you go out there, you know, as I said, growing up fighting currents all your life, swimming in the ocean with your friends,

Speaker 40 it's not a normal playground. Yeah.

Speaker 6 But I went, when I went to Hawaii,

Speaker 62 I went surfing once and I thought I was like nailing it. And then I looked back and the instructor was pushing my board.

Speaker 23 And I was like, well, this

Speaker 40 is yeah, you feel in a great spot. I mean, I can picture myself getting in a barrel and riding that.
I can picture it, but I don't think it ever is.

Speaker 38 If you try.

Speaker 100 Yeah.

Speaker 40 Well, I think I got to overcome the biggest fear

Speaker 40 of the ocean. Like

Speaker 47 the power of the ocean.

Speaker 40 It's not even just the, you know, what's in the water, it's just the respect and the, you know, what I had for what I call, you know, experiences probably as a youth in Mother Nature and going, this is not for me.

Speaker 49 Did you travel as a kid or were you mostly?

Speaker 40 No, mostly stayed there. Yeah.
I didn't leave much.

Speaker 49 When was the first time you saw snow?

Speaker 40 Well, lucky enough, as a kid, our highest mountaintop, it snowed. So I got to go out there as a kid and go visit and see.
what we called snow.

Speaker 40 It was like you're looking out now at the top of Tahoe and you see that white cap up there. That's what I considered my snow.

Speaker 40 So as a kid, there was a few times it snowed at our Thai's peak but if you want to talk about a real like cold a cold equatable was probably

Speaker 40 my years in in in the Meyer League I think I ended up in I was in Scranton Wilkesbury and I remember one of the first times we were in Buffalo New York and it was you know April it was

Speaker 40 got to have been 20 degrees. The wind was blowing that day and I remember sitting next to the heater in the dugout and out one of my TVs go, what's going on?

Speaker 40 I go, bro, I've never been this cold in my life. So that was kind of my first run of really experiencing the snow.

Speaker 49 That would make you homesick real fast.

Speaker 22 Oh, real fast.

Speaker 40 I actually realized, like, why am I playing baseball?

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 97 Why do people live here?

Speaker 40 It was so cold.

Speaker 51 You're right.

Speaker 66 Yeah.

Speaker 57 Who's your favorite teammate from all your stops in Major League Baseball and why?

Speaker 40 I would have to say Jimmy Rollins. Okay.
You know, he was a big, he was like a big brother to me. He took me in as a rookie.

Speaker 40 You know, we've just, he was a guy that I always wanted to, you know, idolize when I was playing. You know, we always had our,

Speaker 40 like you said, your little internal lacrosse teams and all that stuff, or your teams that you have, or your, we had a,

Speaker 40 we always had internal bets to make ourselves better.

Speaker 40 So when I look back on my career, having a guy that pushed me like that, you know, through all those years, I mean, he was the one teammate that I would say would, you know, I mean, he was in my wedding.

Speaker 40 That tells you that.

Speaker 70 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 38 Also, a very cool guy.

Speaker 40 Yeah, he's awesome, bro. He's great.
He's awesome.

Speaker 38 He's just hanging out with him. Yeah.

Speaker 49 Fun to watch play. We should also, we should give you credit.
I think you're the only player to ever win two World Series for two different teams and hit a home run for the Savannah Bananas.

Speaker 40 I didn't hit a home run.

Speaker 38 You played for the bananas?

Speaker 40 But I hit a double in the gap. I thought it was a home run.
It wasn't. It was a double in the gap.
It looked like it.

Speaker 76 It looked good.

Speaker 40 But it was a double in the gap. And it ended up scoring the winning run in that inning.

Speaker 49 So, how'd they get you to go out there and play? I don't know.

Speaker 40 I just thought, you know what's funny? Honest to truth, is

Speaker 40 my son wanted to get tickets to watch the Savannah Bananas in Las Vegas, and I tried through every

Speaker 47 avenue I could possibly,

Speaker 40 and I got denied. And I was like, what is this? Yeah.

Speaker 40 What is this? And lo and behold, I said, you know what?

Speaker 40 I think it was Jake Peavy or Johnny or somebody said, dude, go play with them. They would love to.
And I was like,

Speaker 40 I'll text the guy, but I don't know if I want to play. So the moral of the story is, that's how I got in tune with the Savannah Bananas.

Speaker 40 Tell myself that I had to go play for them so my kids could go watch a Savannah Banana games in Las Vegas.

Speaker 37 So being around them, is it true? I've heard that the bananas are just swimming in pussy.

Speaker 69 is that true put it this way

Speaker 40 my wife was more excited at the end of the game to watch all of them jump in the pool in Las Vegas

Speaker 40 versus you're right so yes even you know some

Speaker 40 say well what man I got to go back to being 26 with Abs babe like you know like but it was fun and then that and it is it is crazy the phenomenon of the family aspect the women that love it not just the you know the kids I mean it's these moms that are out there they're so excited to be there it's crazy

Speaker 40 it is the crazy I think it's in their contract they're like we'll pay you this and then also pussy i i also want to know what whatever they're doing they're doing it right they're not they're nailing it you know they're having fun but unfortunately the older guys can't have that luxury yeah we do so we joined that doesn't come in my contract you mentioned your abs there what was the offseason you sent a picture of your abs to your manager like every day is that true no way i would never do that yeah you did no not once did you send it i might have said one to john farrell i think or somewhere okay so that that's literally true

Speaker 40 your guy they were talking about it and i said you know what i'm gonna flex on his ass oh But I think it was.

Speaker 13 Was it sick to have abs?

Speaker 40 I never really had them. That was the point.
I think it was more like, it's getting better, but I never had abs in my life.

Speaker 47 No.

Speaker 54 All right, so you also had two postseason grand slams.

Speaker 34 How often do you watch those back?

Speaker 40 I think my brother watches them way more than me, so when he's watching it, I end up watching it. But yeah, I mean, they're great moments.
I think that.

Speaker 64 I would watch it every day if I were you.

Speaker 23 I would.

Speaker 40 No, I get it.

Speaker 40 I definitely watch it when I need that, you know, that, that, that, that reminder of how lucky i was and how blessed i was yeah and when i say it that way it's like you know when there's times where you're like man oh it's you know it's it's it's not there anymore or it's not there you go like bro look at how lucky you were like end of the day like stop you know it's not that bad or whatever it is you know like look at how lucky you are you know and like i said i always think about you know when i think about at the end of the day how many baseball players have ever walked on this earth i'm you know i got to play 10 years in the big leagues that's even a smaller percentage so it's like man how lucky you know so that moment both those moments is that the highest high coming back to the dugout like being like oh i mean a grand slam in the postseason that that just has to be off the charts like you can't you can't replicate that feeling

Speaker 40 i i mean from an individual standpoint yes i mean from that moment where it's like yes the whole world's on you correct but winning two world series yeah of course

Speaker 40 running in i mean like but yes from an individual standpoint yeah there's nothing like it you're floating in yeah yeah i tell people all the time it's like i mean like they're like how loud is it i was was like, truthfully, man, it's actually, it's almost like quiet in your, in your mind.

Speaker 40 You know, and you're just

Speaker 40 like,

Speaker 40 it's almost like, yeah, you, you, you tell yourself as it happens. Like, I mean, when I hit that Grand Slam, you know, and I jumped around the bases in Boston and I pounded my chest.
It's like.

Speaker 40 I literally went back to like my childhood days.

Speaker 70 Yeah.

Speaker 96 And you know, that's every childhood dream.

Speaker 40 I've been playing in my backyard. I go like, bro, this shit is real, bro.
Like, this is, I'm jogging around this bases, bro.

Speaker 40 Like, this is, and so, like, that's what makes those moments that you said cool. Like, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 40 I mean, there's, there's no other greater feeling other than having your child be born and be healthy. And, you know, but beyond that.

Speaker 12 Or being a savannah banana and getting all the pulse.

Speaker 112 Or getting whatever they want.

Speaker 38 Yes.

Speaker 72 That's awesome. Yeah.

Speaker 49 It does seem pretty incredible. So you talked about the pile a second ago.
The pile at the end of World Series. Were you at the bottom of the pile?

Speaker 40 I was always at the end because I was in Alfield.

Speaker 40 And in fact, one of the, you know, one of, I call one of the most iconic, you know, I think Philly's pictures, the pile that we have.

Speaker 40 And I was lucky enough, I'm kind of airborne and I'm landing on it.

Speaker 49 Yeah, so the guys at the bottom of the pile.

Speaker 112 Oh, they're getting it.

Speaker 49 I feel like it's a great idea when you start the pile. Oh, no.
And then after like two seconds.

Speaker 112 I don't want to be under.

Speaker 40 I'll be claustrophobic, so I'd panic like heck. I guarantee that.
So I'm glad I was always the

Speaker 40 outfielder taking my time on the way in.

Speaker 77 That Philly's World Series, you won.

Speaker 9 What was it? Was it three days of rain?

Speaker 40 It was a day and a half. A day and a half.

Speaker 16 How much did that screw up?

Speaker 2 Like, because you guys got to just be like, get us out there.

Speaker 5 Like, we did, we were raining.

Speaker 40 I mean, it was definitely something different to actually stop a game mid-game. Right.
Especially at that moment.

Speaker 40 But I mean, ultimately, there's no way we could have won.

Speaker 40 And I would have felt bad winning a World Series.

Speaker 40 You would have rained out four and a half or five and a half, five-inning game, which was legit at the time.

Speaker 40 But

Speaker 40 it was definitely, you wanted it so badly because you felt it at your fingertips, you know. But it was almost to the point where it's like, okay, relax.
Like, let it happen. Let it all.

Speaker 40 Because again, just as fast as momentum shifts, you know, shit like that can shift it back in every guard and we'll go back the opposite direction.

Speaker 40 But I mean, being at home helped, you know, being in the city of Philadelphia, knowing that literally, I remember actually that when you talk about that moment, I remember walking out on what I call game five and a half, and the second we stepped out of dugout, it was 42,000 electric fans in Philadelphia.

Speaker 40 So it was like, oh, it's back in you.

Speaker 70 You know, the energy was right back in you. Right.
Right.

Speaker 49 What was it like going back to Hawaii after winning a World Series?

Speaker 118 Was it different? Yeah. I mean,

Speaker 40 there's not many of us that have, you know, have the opportunity to do that. So yeah, yeah, it was definitely a big moment.
I think for me, I think it was cool because

Speaker 112 it brought what I call

Speaker 40 a different sport

Speaker 40 to the forefront. You know, not saying that baseball is massive back home, especially at the U level, but there was never really one that someone that like said it and brought it.

Speaker 40 You know, I mean, there were successful big leagues, but not that World Series, you know, like, and especially in today's era, like there's so much more and so much where kids can learn from someone like, you know, something like that, where back in the day, if they did win it, it was, you know, where it really wasn't talked about.

Speaker 40 There's not much to look at. But to know that I can go back home and try what I call transcend where the game and the kids think and how they think of the game.

Speaker 40 I mean, Vajiva Aloy, the kid that just won the Golden Spikes, you know, best college player of the year. He grew from my little hometown.
If you had told me that

Speaker 40 50 years ago or however many years ago that there would be the best college baseball player that grew up in my little hometown in the little island of Maui, I would have told you, kick rocks, no chance.

Speaker 40 Did they?

Speaker 49 But two Hawaiian guys on the team, right? Arkansas? Yeah.

Speaker 8 It was the two brothers.

Speaker 70 They're brothers.

Speaker 38 Cojo and Bajivo.

Speaker 101 Yeah.

Speaker 40 And I've known them since they were this big, but it's like when you think about that kind of stuff, when you think about, you know, like, here it is. This is that moment.

Speaker 40 Like, this kid's now a reality because someone like me showed them that they can do it.

Speaker 48 Do you feel like it's kind of not...

Speaker 35 not mean, but the Flying Hawaiians is like one of the best nicknames ever, and no one else can have it now.

Speaker 67 Like you took that.

Speaker 38 Like we could have a Hawaiian race code player who's no, you can't that's such a great nickname

Speaker 40 when did you first get that nickname so it was actually a new york mets game in new york uh i made a diving catch in left center and uh announcer said it uh i don't know if it was ron darling or kir one of them said it they're broad the mets broadcaster and then it stuck that's it was just like that yeah and then it became the nickname yeah how long was it for you to hear that nickname after the game because they're doing the tv broadcast right i forget who brought it up i don't know and i think so i think they showed the replay of the you know they kept showing it because it was a it was a great diving catch.

Speaker 40 And then the more and more people showed the replay, the part of the broadcast, and I guess I think he said it or something like that. Like the flying Hawaiian makes this unbelievable catch.

Speaker 40 And then it was like,

Speaker 49 there it is. Yeah.
I read an article that your parents had to take you to the emergency room something like 20 times before you were eight.

Speaker 72 Is that a fair estimate?

Speaker 40 It was a fair estimate. It was very close.
It was 10 times before the age of five.

Speaker 79 Okay. Gosh.

Speaker 74 That's a lot. What were you doing?

Speaker 40 Just reckless abandon, man. I was just, I fell off a bike.
I'm, you know,

Speaker 40 tire spoke in my ear at the end of the, you know, end of the cul-de-sac, hit the curb, going full speed,

Speaker 40 you know,

Speaker 40 spoke in the ear,

Speaker 40 hanging out with my brother, dump on the bunk.

Speaker 40 Oh, it's down there. I jump off the top, hit the screw on the side of the bed.
I mean, got hit by a moving car, fell out of the moving car.

Speaker 101 That was a little bit older in life.

Speaker 16 Those are two that are not.

Speaker 81 You guys got hit by a moving car.

Speaker 76 You're saving a lot of a moving car.

Speaker 49 When we say moving, are we like technically moving?

Speaker 40 No, this one was technically making. So the fell in a lot of the car was with my auntie and uncle, my auntie Valerie, and uh, the old car, you know, sat on the door side back then.

Speaker 40 You could, you know, four deep across the front, three in the back, little island, cruising down the road in hometown. The door falls open.

Speaker 40 Little Shane's on the side of where the door falls open, and he goes rolling out.

Speaker 40 I mean, he's going, you know, making a left turn, not going 50 miles an hour, but you know, he's going 10 miles, you know, whatever. So that was where I fell out of the car.

Speaker 40 Getting hit by the car was, I was at my brother's with my brother, who was my, again, one of my idols. He was four and a half years older than me.

Speaker 40 So they're all with their friends were big in a bike, BMX. They all go to the friend's house.
I go and hang out with their brothers. They're all watching the movie.
They're doing their thing.

Speaker 40 I go out front, take the bike to my grandma's house, basically to steal the bike from the brothers. I go down.

Speaker 40 I'm trying to get back to where they are.

Speaker 40 Two-lane road. Cars parked on each side.
You know, a little 12-year-old pops his head out. No car.

Speaker 40 Old lady's coming by, 30 miles an hour, hits me. She said, I go flying 20 yards.

Speaker 40 You know, I get back up, but, you know, again, I'm 12 years old, so everything's still, she said, I literally was trying to run back to the bike and grab it because I was so scared. Yeah.

Speaker 40 Because I wasn't getting my ass beat by my brother, my dad, my parents, my grandpa, and everybody else. And not only that, his friends, because now this bike's mangled.
I'm more in panic mode.

Speaker 40 I think I was just in shock. So, of course, this lady grabs me.
She's like, you can't go nowhere. I just hit you on the car.
You know, I just hit you in my car. Like, you got to stay here.

Speaker 40 Of course, now adrenaline comes down. Now it's like the pain starts kicking in and the crying crying starts happening, but I'm alive, first and foremost.

Speaker 40 But the lady, I remember hearing her tell my parents, because I was what, 12, 13, so I still remember hearing it. She was, oh my God, I hit your son.
You know, I wasn't going fast, but I was going 30.

Speaker 40 I mean, it was, you know, going up.

Speaker 8 30 straight.

Speaker 40 Yeah, and he came out of nowhere. You know, he was in between the cars and he came out of nowhere and I hit him and he flew 20 yards in the air and he rolled.
He ran back to the bike.

Speaker 40 She was trying to explain to my parents. And I was like, and then, like I said, it was just, you know, God bless, I guess, at the end of it.

Speaker 49 Does she know that she hit you?

Speaker 40 Not back then. She did not hit.

Speaker 49 Now does she know?

Speaker 38 No, she was an older lady.

Speaker 40 She long passed before I became something.

Speaker 40 When you look back on that kind of stuff. But yes, how to hell.
Was I lucky, you know, to survive all.

Speaker 86 But you just described two

Speaker 92 kind of traumatic, like, bad moments, like your worst moments.

Speaker 62 And they're significantly cooler and more badass than anything I've ever done.

Speaker 95 Like,

Speaker 6 I don't why, I don't wish I got hit by a car, but like, to be honest, I didn't wish either, but I looked back.

Speaker 100 Casually throughout, you got hit by a car and fell out of a car.

Speaker 40 Oh, because I'm here now, you know, and I look back on the story. I wouldn't be a little different if it, you know, traumatized me in the end.

Speaker 77 Yeah, so you, you had, you have ADHD.

Speaker 109 When were you diagnosed with it? Because like,

Speaker 6 yeah, back then it wasn't something that was prevalent.

Speaker 40 It was actually, no, and then that was, so the other side to that story is at that age, I was. Basically, you can tell, aggro and just wild.

Speaker 40 I had to leave a preschool at some point, you know, because of my, you know, ADHD. And it was fine.
I mean, but these are all these moments when I look back on life.

Speaker 40 It's like what I also realized that that's just part of it, and I was born with it.

Speaker 38 It wasn't like I went to the streets and, oh, let me go do this.

Speaker 40 And then it happens in my life. So, yes, at a young age, it was always like, man, I was always in trouble because I was always hyper, you know, active and I was all over the place.

Speaker 40 But then, you know, as I, you know, learned through life, like there was positives to a lot of that, you know, that good energy, that high energy stuff.

Speaker 40 But, you know, as a kid, people don't know how to control it, you know. But, you know,

Speaker 49 it sounds like they kept you really busy after that. Like,

Speaker 74 you played every sport.

Speaker 40 Every sport. That was it.
They get me out of my house.

Speaker 49 And you're an Eagle Scout, right? An Eagle Scout. Yeah.
So that's like a lot of time that you're just spent doing

Speaker 49 structured activities, right?

Speaker 40 And that was what was important for me, was to have that in my life.

Speaker 34 At what age do you think Shane Victorino could beat us up?

Speaker 57 I'm thinking it's like seven.

Speaker 38 Like, hearing the story, bro.

Speaker 47 Like, no, but hearing how crazy you were.

Speaker 87 Tough kids.

Speaker 40 Yeah, I was crazy and I was tough, but to a degree of what I needed to be. You know what I mean?

Speaker 40 And then I was also reckless around my friends. I wanted to be the guy to show my friends, like, bro,

Speaker 40 no, don't be fearless. Like, you, you know, there might be not the right outcome, but go do it.

Speaker 54 Like, except the ocean. The ocean.

Speaker 60 Well, no, that's a different thing.

Speaker 69 You're kind of a wimp for that.

Speaker 40 I'm a very much good wimp for that.

Speaker 79 I'm actually way tough for you.

Speaker 26 I'll be the first to say that.

Speaker 6 When it comes to water, Andrino ever tries to fight you, just run into the ocean.

Speaker 90 It's like bees.

Speaker 74 Stay close to the shore. I got you.

Speaker 38 Go far out. I'll leave you alone.

Speaker 100 Oh, man.

Speaker 48 All right.

Speaker 77 So the like playing baseball, the grind of baseball.

Speaker 40 This might be a dumb question, but you're in the outfield Were there moments where you like almost like when you're driving on the highway and you forget that you've been driving were there moments where you're like oh shit I haven't been paying attention for a while here I tell you one of the greatest moments my wife We were in Seattle and she told me that night after a game because Seattle there's seagulls.

Speaker 40 Yeah. And so, you know, I'm standing out in the middle of the grass.
All of a sudden you see shadows. What's going to, what's, what are you going to do? You're going to look up, right?

Speaker 40 If you're in the middle of a grass patch and all of a sudden there's a bunch of shadows over your head. So literally,

Speaker 40 she said, said, she goes, Honey, I'm watching them pitch, and you're literally in center field looking at the seagull

Speaker 47 above your head.

Speaker 101 And I was like, Well, babe, what am I supposed to do?

Speaker 40 I mean, like, if you're out in the middle of a grass patch and all of a sudden you see shadows over your head, you're gonna look up.

Speaker 40 Yeah, so yes, there are moments where there's things and objects that came into the play. Where, yes, I did find myself, I also did get thrown out from center field.

Speaker 40 So, that's also one of the greatest things that I've ever done.

Speaker 70 And I wait, what'd you do?

Speaker 40 I got thrown out from center field. Wow.
My greatest moments.

Speaker 40 Ed Rapawana was at home. He called Ryan Howard on a strike.
And then I went out to center field and I watched him centerfield and he didn't call a strike on their guy.

Speaker 40 And I threw my hands up in there and I was squaring at him and he saw me. And you got thrown out.

Speaker 38 He threw you out.

Speaker 47 And he tossed me for arguing balls and strikes.

Speaker 40 But unfortunately, I felt bad for him because it cost him the playoffs.

Speaker 49 I mean, but that's you.

Speaker 87 Yeah, but I was like, why is he the only guy to ever do that?

Speaker 40 There's not many of us that got thrown out from center field.

Speaker 112 Yeah, for sure. So going back to one of my greater baseball teams.

Speaker 69 That's pretty awesome.

Speaker 49 What about switch hitting? When did you decide that you were going to hit from both sides?

Speaker 40 22 years old.

Speaker 49 That feels like that's pretty late.

Speaker 40 Yeah, I feel like when you have a coach telling you, either go home and go work in Hawaii or you want to become a switch hitter and you might become a big leaguer, then you tell me what you're going to do.

Speaker 49 So how much work did that take?

Speaker 49 A lot.

Speaker 40 I mean, it was what I told people. It was just, again,

Speaker 40 it was not easy.

Speaker 40 Doing and hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do, like I said, but to try to do it at 22 years old against the best in the world at a high level,

Speaker 40 I was willing to try it. I was not trying to go home for the rest of my life and

Speaker 40 have no outcome. You know what I mean?

Speaker 40 So, but again, I look back and saying, having a coach that gave me that, you know, foresight, like, hey, bro, I think that if you do this, and at that time, I was in double A, I was eighth on the depth chart.

Speaker 40 You know, big leaguers already there. So like eight guys had to get hurt in the minor leagues.

Speaker 94 That ain't gonna happen.

Speaker 40 But he goes, if you become a switch hitter and you're willing to try it, there's nobody on this list.

Speaker 66 Wow.

Speaker 40 And I can honestly say that at the end of my career, out of all

Speaker 40 nine of us, 10 of us that was in front of me I would yeah I would say I was able to have the most successful career did you have a

Speaker 62 after you got called up did you have like a welcome to the big leagues like oh fuck this is different moment oh yeah every fucking day for that first year it was like bro this is what

Speaker 40 I mean it was just different they're they're they're they were bigger they were stronger they were just athletic they were the IQ of the game you know I mean

Speaker 40 it was

Speaker 40 I call it it became the chess mas versus the checker match Like, it's now a chess match. It's not a checker.
You know, like, you gotta, you gotta have that extra move. And it was fun.

Speaker 40 But I mean, like I said, the size of the guys, you know, just the way the game was played, it was just, it was a lot more fine too. And it was cool.

Speaker 40 But yeah, every, I still tell my, even to the day I was done in the big leagues, there was always awe me moments.

Speaker 40 Like, you know, playing with Mike Trout for the first time when he was healthy was like, you know, back in his day with the MVP, was like, bro, is this real?

Speaker 118 Yeah.

Speaker 40 Are you, can you really be this much better than everybody else? Like, so like, yeah, there was always those those all-me moments in baseball.

Speaker 40 And I think that's what, and maybe I'm just kind of downplaying it, but it was cool to always, and that's why I loved and I respected the game so much.

Speaker 40 It was like, you know, I played the way I do is because it was like, man, there was always those all-me moments.

Speaker 40 As good as I thought I was or as great, it's like, man, there's this dude or that dude, you know? Like, there was always those pinch-me moments. Yes.

Speaker 49 Yeah. What about the flip side to that? Was there a moment where you got called up to the big leagues and you were like, I belong here.
Like, I feel like I can do this.

Speaker 40 I mean, at a young age of 22, I thought I'd belong. And then I got sent back to the Meyer Leagues.
But then I realized there was so much more for me to learn.

Speaker 70 So mentally, yeah.

Speaker 98 But

Speaker 40 I always never try to think that I was there.

Speaker 98 Yeah.

Speaker 40 And I think that's what helped me play for so long, too, was to never think like that. Yeah.

Speaker 40 And you got to think every year, bro, there's a whole plethora of dudes that are just coming after you every single year. I mean, I got to play parts of 13 years, 11 total, you know, like,

Speaker 40 I'm lucky, you know, like, man, because yeah, every year someone's trying to take your shit. There's that next tranche of people, whether it be college, high school, you know, they're coming.

Speaker 40 They want to get you.

Speaker 109 Do you have your gold card on you?

Speaker 98 I do.

Speaker 112 Not on me. No.

Speaker 104 Have you used it?

Speaker 66 Never.

Speaker 99 Really? Come on.

Speaker 11 For people who don't know, no, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 70 You have.

Speaker 40 It is. I have never used it, but you're right.
Will there be a moment I will?

Speaker 48 Yeah, hopefully.

Speaker 6 It's not the coolest thing ever. If you play, what is it, eight years?

Speaker 40 Eight years or more.

Speaker 1 Eight years or more in Major League Baseball, you get a gold card and that gives you two seats to any game.

Speaker 62 You just got to walk up and they'll give you two seats.

Speaker 13 Correct.

Speaker 49 They should give you a platinum card. You should get every MLB team and Savannah Bananas.
Yeah. The only guy that has that.

Speaker 40 Savannah Bananas.

Speaker 101 I want to buy an ownership in that damn thing.

Speaker 40 I think they're Manampard.

Speaker 49 So you just walk up to the box office with the MLB gold card and you're just like, hey, you're supposed to be able to handle them.

Speaker 40 And they're supposed to give you the two best available seats.

Speaker 69 That's such a cool rule.

Speaker 38 We've not done that.

Speaker 28 I guess it's like this is just, again,

Speaker 47 the full circle.

Speaker 77 This is like the UF World Series we don't.

Speaker 86 I feel like I would do it every game just to be like, it's like a free trick.

Speaker 40 Hold my dog. If you don't have it, you want it, right?

Speaker 79 Yeah.

Speaker 40 Yeah, yeah. I want to do your job.
I want to sit there. I want to be as famous, you know, and talk on radio.

Speaker 38 I don't know if you want to do your job.

Speaker 67 I love it.

Speaker 40 I listen to you outside. Give it to somebody.

Speaker 6 Who is, I got a couple last questions.

Speaker 37 The nastiest pitcher you faced?

Speaker 94 Who?

Speaker 40 Every guy.

Speaker 37 But who was the net, like the filthiest?

Speaker 2 Like, god damn it.

Speaker 14 This shit is just different.

Speaker 40 Steven Strasberg, when he first came to the big leagues and he made his debut against us, and I remember telling myself, come on, bring this dude up to the big leagues.

Speaker 73 I can't wait.

Speaker 40 And I think he struck me out my first two bats, one on a 3-2 changeup and one on a 3-2 curveball. And I remember walking back to Telugu going, Do you throw 100?

Speaker 40 And you just threw me two off-speed pitches in a 3-2 count.

Speaker 4 We got no chance, bro.

Speaker 47 This is not cool.

Speaker 40 So Steven Strasberg, when he first came up, was,

Speaker 60 I mean,

Speaker 40 honestly, all the Hall of Famers, those kind of guys. But like, when I look at that all me more, I was like, bro, like, this dude is not real.

Speaker 40 And his first, you know, ever many years when he was healthy, it wasn't cool.

Speaker 112 Healthy.

Speaker 49 Yeah, people, people forget about him when it comes to that like upper echelon because the way the end of his career went. And then he had obviously the setback in the middle of the career.

Speaker 49 But then he came back from that too. But at his peak,

Speaker 40 that first five years, yeah. I mean, it was, it was a joke.
You're riding 100 miles an hour with, you know, you can throw everything else for a strike. It wasn't fun.

Speaker 57 NL East fan base you hate the most?

Speaker 66 Come on, man.

Speaker 78 The Mets? Mets got it.

Speaker 40 I mean, I just hate them, but I just,

Speaker 40 I hate love. I hate love because what I loved about them was the fact that I knew that there was going to be fights with Philly fans that night.
Yeah.

Speaker 40 And then and what I hate about them was the fact that they were obnoxious. Yeah.
And they gave it to us when we came to town. Yeah.

Speaker 40 And that team's, you know, those years, man, those were some fun games because they were good. Yeah.
Those teams in New York were very good. And we had some good old fun battles, boy.

Speaker 119 boy yeah um all right i won this college football season we are feeling the cheesiest with cheez-it the ultimate irresistible football watching snack cheez-it brings 100 real cheese and deliciousness to every game fuel your game day cravings with cheesy crunchy salty deliciousness and fuel your cheez-it fandom at cheez-it.com use code stool25 for 20 off your order max Max is a Philly guy.

Speaker 46 He is, you're one of his favorite players ever.

Speaker 5 I think, was he the

Speaker 100 in the Little League World Series?

Speaker 52 He was your

Speaker 54 the player, right?

Speaker 68 Yeah, I was in the regional, like the final game before you make it to the Little League World Series.

Speaker 40 They go around and ask, who was your favorite player?

Speaker 79 I have the video pull up.

Speaker 47 Oh, that's kind of awesome. I have a video pull.

Speaker 47 That's awesome, man.

Speaker 100 Let's play it for him.

Speaker 40 No, that's it, man. That's what you worked for all your life.
It's kind of funny when you say that, you know?

Speaker 40 You look forward to that. Like that kid's saying on TV, my favorite player is just Shane.

Speaker 49 He just broke Shane.

Speaker 76 He just poked your sunglasses.

Speaker 49 He just broke Shane's.

Speaker 47 He stepped on his sunglasses.

Speaker 100 Max, this couldn't have gone worse.

Speaker 47 You stepped directly on his sunglasses, dude.

Speaker 47 Oh, my God.

Speaker 49 It's such a crunch.

Speaker 44 What did you say?

Speaker 38 I was doing this T on purpose.

Speaker 47 Oh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 98 Dude, that's so cool.

Speaker 38 Dude, that's so cool.

Speaker 38 What a cool moment.

Speaker 40 Yeah, what a great moment. Isn't that awesome, Max?

Speaker 97 And then now here you are, stepping on his sunglasses.

Speaker 96 Meeting your hero.

Speaker 48 What a moment.

Speaker 57 Do you think that 12-year-old Max Deleney would have thought, like, one day I'll step on his sunglasses and embarrass myself?

Speaker 68 No, yeah, that went, that was the only way that was going to go for sure.

Speaker 70 For sure. That was the only way.

Speaker 74 So, what's your question, Max?

Speaker 68 They talked about the Grand Slam against the Brewers already. I wanted to ask you, how does it feel to have the second best up out of that inning?

Speaker 70 What were you guys thinking when Brett Myers pulled that nine-pitch walk?

Speaker 64 We were happy because we knew that that kind of

Speaker 40 exhausted Cece a little bit. I mean,

Speaker 40 Brett Myers was one of those guys, man. You know what you were getting, but you didn't know what you were getting.

Speaker 40 You didn't know if you were getting the Brett Myers that was going to be straight or you didn't get

Speaker 40 the guy that was going to throw out the guy's head for no reason. So, I mean, him doing that at bat, I tell people all day long, that was a big reason because I think he gassed Cece.

Speaker 40 I mean, and he, you know, he grind. And not only that, you kept getting 40,000 plus on their feet as his bats went on.
Yeah, I mean, it just got louder and louder.

Speaker 40 And I tell people any any day, 45,000 to Philadelphia, look out. You want to be on the good side.
And I was lucky enough to be on the good side. Yeah.

Speaker 40 You know, some of the craziest dudes, Johnny Gomes, told me, he goes, man,

Speaker 40 oh, man, that was, you know, because he was in Tampa at the time. He goes, man, these fans are nuts.
When I got to Boston, I was like, I was glad they were on my side.

Speaker 40 Yeah, Max, thank you. Appreciate that.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 49 Never beat your heroes. You might do this.

Speaker 68 Yeah, no, I'm sorry about the sunglasses.

Speaker 44 We'll survive.

Speaker 70 I think there's enough.

Speaker 49 Another good Max story. This is at the Super Bowl down in.

Speaker 49 What town was that in, Max? You remember that?

Speaker 40 You remember that night? What?

Speaker 76 Arizona, right?

Speaker 49 We go out for a night. Max said, he enjoyed himself until about 3.30 in the morning.
And at the party we were at, there was that dude, oh, it was the mentalist. Oh, no, it was a mentalist.

Speaker 74 No, it was just a different moment.

Speaker 6 Different mentalists.

Speaker 49 My bad. Different mentalists was there.
And he was asking all of us, like, I think he asked Jake, who's your favorite baseball player of all time?

Speaker 49 And Max, just from the back, pushes his way to the front line.

Speaker 90 He goes, my favorite baseball player is Shane Victorino.

Speaker 49 And so the guy had to completely change up his trick because now he's got to deal with drunk Max. He's like, no, you got to do Shane Victorino.

Speaker 2 You got to do Shane Victorino.

Speaker 68 Yeah, when Jake was trying to do Derek Jeter, I thought that was too easy.

Speaker 112 Yeah, you make it a little different.

Speaker 112 Yeah, challenging.

Speaker 6 Oh, man. Well, Shane, thank you so much.

Speaker 57 This has been a lot of fun, and we appreciate you.

Speaker 6 Appreciate it.

Speaker 40 Thank you, guys. Thank you, man.
Appreciate it.

Speaker 80 Thanks, man. Appreciate it.

Speaker 105 Now in theaters, Spinal Tap is back.

Speaker 49 Time to make some noise.

Speaker 105 With Christopher Christopher Guest, Michael McKeon, Rob Reiner, and Harry Scheer.

Speaker 43 We're still short of drama. Why?

Speaker 65 He sneezed himself into oblivion.

Speaker 68 Spinal Tap 2.

Speaker 27 The end continues.

Speaker 105 Now in theaters everywhere.

Speaker 111 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 111 Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 111 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 111 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 39 And now for something completely different.

Speaker 17 Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, our good friend Shane Bacon, head of the, I still call it the British Open, the Open Championship.

Speaker 5 You can see Shane, his YouTube, on YouTube, Golf on CBS.

Speaker 16 He has the full preview, probably a little nerdier than what we are going to get into because we don't understand golf to the level that Shane does.

Speaker 52 But Shane, good to have you on.

Speaker 7 First question,

Speaker 8 how many journalists are losing their clubs going over to Northern Ireland this week?

Speaker 11 This is my favorite time of year where it's just basically a bunch of guys going over, working the tournament, also playing some rounds, and then they lose their clubs and they complain about it all the time.

Speaker 39 Yeah, I mean, Big Cat, I famously lost mine at St.

Speaker 39 Andrews a few years ago and had the random person pick him up at Edinburgh and bring him to my hotel, a person that I did not know, that just saw them kind of sitting in the corner after I'd lost him.

Speaker 39 But yeah, I'd say about half. I think about half the people lose their golf clubs on this trip every year.

Speaker 39 And I still kind of think it might be the only reason we still do Twitter, I think, is just to complain to the airlines. It's like maybe the main reason that we jump on it.
Yeah.

Speaker 49 Probably shit coins, too. Yeah.
Complaining to airlines and then pumping shit coins. That's keeping the economy afloat.
So what's going on with Royal Port Rush?

Speaker 49 Because each of these courses for the Open Championship has their own identity. They've got weird quirks about them.
Some of them have got what?

Speaker 2 I just like the idea of like,

Speaker 103 this is our golf analysis.

Speaker 103 So

Speaker 49 what's Port Rush's deal?

Speaker 103 Yeah, what's his deal?

Speaker 49 What's his deal?

Speaker 2 What's he up to? Because

Speaker 49 sometimes you go over there and it's like, oh, this is the course that's got this one 40-foot bumper

Speaker 49 out of him. Other courses, it's like, oh, we've got these things called burns that run along the fairway on 1718 that'll fuck you up.

Speaker 3 Oh, here's a par three with 75-mile-an-hour wind that goes right in your face.

Speaker 49 Yeah, there's this one that's got a giant tree that grows, and we call it, we call it old boss man, and you have to avoid old boss man at all times.

Speaker 39 And back in 1970, uh who can forget when uh when when sleepy joe willicker got stuck in the leaves but there's there's always like one thing about each course when it comes to the open where it's like this is what this course is known for so what what's the deal at royal portsmouth so so i would say that the thing it's probably known for and it was highlighted in 2019 is internal out of bounds um we don't get a lot of that in the states the course i grew up on uh in east texas had internal out of bounds and we just didn't like abide by it we just hit the ball over the clubhouse didn't care.

Speaker 39 But it's kind of necessary around this golf course, especially at the first hole. If you go back to 2019, you know, this was like the height of Ken Rory win a major, right?

Speaker 39 2019, going to Northern Ireland. He shot 61 on this golf course when he was 16 years old.

Speaker 39 And the first hole on Thursday hits it out of bounds and made, I think he made it eight in this opening hole and shot 79. So that's part of it.
It's probably the most penal in terms of driving.

Speaker 39 It's a tough golf course to hit fairways. You know, you think about St.
Andrews, these are 70 yardwise fairways, right? It's almost impossible to miss the fairways around St. Andrews.

Speaker 39 This is a lot tighter. I was talking to a player earlier today, and I said, how many drivers said maybe half, like maybe half the holes.
I'm going to hit driver.

Speaker 39 That's something that probably doesn't play in the hands of a Bryson type, right? Who wants to lean on the driver as much as possible. But once you find the fairway, that's when it gets interesting.

Speaker 39 It's a second-shot golf course, small greens for a Link-style golf course.

Speaker 39 And if you start to hit a lot of greens, I mean, if you do what Shane Lowry did in 2019, he had 80% of the greens that week, you're going to have have a real opportunity to contend.

Speaker 39 And we talk so much about distance. Like, we love talking about Bryson bombing it and Rory bombing it.
Scotty hits it plenty far.

Speaker 39 But when you dive into like golf stats, the big-time dudes, like the big names we all know, are all near the top in terms of stroke gain approach. And that's all iron play.

Speaker 39 So like the Scotties, Morakowas, Victor Hovlins, those types of players. And so those will be the names to kind of focus on as Thursday gets going.

Speaker 10 What in general, like this style of course, the Lynx course,

Speaker 18 what do you need specifically in your game?

Speaker 3 Is it a lot more touch? Is it a lot more feel?

Speaker 46 What is it that like the profile, because obviously Scotty, Scotty's going to be good anywhere.

Speaker 40 There's some guys that are going to be good no matter what, but but maybe guys that will have a chance here that don't have a chance other courses.

Speaker 54 What is it about their game?

Speaker 39 Yeah, I think the interesting part about the open when you kind of look through it historically is you don't have to hit it super far. I mean, the U.S.

Speaker 39 Open was never, you have to bomb it, kind of golf course. It's kind of turned into that a little bit, which I think is a bit of a bummer.

Speaker 39 It just feels like you have to hit driver far to contend contend and win at a U.S. Open.
The PGA is very much like that. Augusta is like that as well.
So you think about the majors, right?

Speaker 39 And they're all lean on the driver, hit it as far as possible. That's not the case at opens.

Speaker 39 I mean, you go through the history of this championship specifically, especially kind of in the modern times, and you'll occasionally get a Darren Clark or a Shane Lowry, you know, somebody that's not going to be in the top 50% in terms of driving distance.

Speaker 39 So I think that's the unique part about it. Like patience is important.

Speaker 39 I think that's one thing that's gotten to Scotty at this particular major and Bryson as well is It's just kind of being patient, understanding you're going to get some shitty breaks.

Speaker 39 You're going to hit it in a pop bunker and not being able to stand in it. Like, five's okay.
Move on. I mean, you've got an opportunity on the next hole.

Speaker 39 So I think as much as anything, it's being okay with.

Speaker 39 Getting on this bad side of a draw, having bad weather kind of pop up when somebody else played in perfect conditions and understanding that's kind of part of the game.

Speaker 39 And I feel like this feels more four-day golf tournament than maybe some of the other ones we play.

Speaker 49 So how much of a factor is going to be the roulette wheel of the weather?

Speaker 39 Can we rely on anything with the weather at this tournament like is it always bad in the mornings does it get worse in the afternoons so it doesn't look like it's going to be too nasty in terms of wind this week the forecast are saying you know maybe gust in 1520 on the weekend which seems like a lot but that's not that much in northern ireland and uh the first couple days seem pretty benign in terms of wind conditions it's going to be wet and that is the one thing it's going to be rainy it's going to be wet the one weird thing about pro golfers is they refuse to wear rain gear.

Speaker 39 I've asked a lot of them about it, and they're just like, I don't like the way it feels. And obviously they get free close and like, whatever, I'll just throw this sweater away on the back end.

Speaker 39 But I mean, if it gets really gross, kind of the mudder type of players are the ones you kind of focus on. I think about guys that grew up in this.

Speaker 39 I think about guys that have played in opens in the past that feel like this. If you go back to 2019, it was gross all four days of that open championship.

Speaker 39 And obviously Lowry was there and Tommy Fleetwood contended as well. You know, some other names I kind of like in these conditions, like I like a guy like Patrick Reed.

Speaker 39 you know, who can just kind of mud it up and doesn't mind if it gets nasty, almost prefers it.

Speaker 39 Even a Jordan Speed type who's okay if it gets a little nasty and plays a little bit tougher in terms of the conditions. So, those are maybe the names I lean towards.

Speaker 39 And then, somebody like Scotty, and I keep going back to this, but like Scotty does not like it when it's quote unquote unfair. I mean, that is the one weird thing about Scotty.

Speaker 39 Like, he wants a great shot rewarded, and that's just not what Lynx golf's about.

Speaker 39 And when you look at Scotty's record at the open versus all the other majors, this is the one he has not played great at.

Speaker 39 So, I think for Scotty, it's trying to lean a little bit more into that world versus, oh, my God, I pulled the three-wood off. Why is it not in the middle of the green?

Speaker 39 Why is it in in that pot bunker?

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 7 So what is it about Lynx golf that a great shot is not rewarded?

Speaker 65 Is it just that much more difficult?

Speaker 78 Yeah, firm, firm ground, so it rolls a lot.

Speaker 39 So, you know, you might land, you know, you watch pro golf. You guys watch, you know, PJ Torque golf a decent amount.
You see a ball land on the front of the green.

Speaker 39 It's probably going to stay on the green, right?

Speaker 39 Here it can land on the front of the green, roll, roll, roll, roll off the back of the green, go down into a pot bunker, and you might be against a lip where you can't get it out.

Speaker 39 I mean, I think that's the unpredictability of kind of firm conditions. And I think it's something like us nerdy golf people prefer.
Like we like seeing the ball roll.

Speaker 39 I mean, PFT, I know you're a big root for the golf course guy. And these are the golf courses I tend to root for the most because you have to accept what happens.
Like I caddied at St.

Speaker 39 Andrews out of college for a few months. I saw plenty of good golf shots that ended up in horrible spots, you know.
So understanding that it's not always going to be perfect. And, you know, it's...

Speaker 39 How many shots do you see a three-pointer that kind of rims in and out and doesn't go through, right?

Speaker 39 It looked like a perfect shot, but it didn't go in or a perfect pass, you know, over the top of a safety or a corner and the receiver just drops it. Like those things happen in sports.

Speaker 39 And I think at golf, it happens the most in these conditions versus most of the stuff we see the rest of the season.

Speaker 28 I'm excited.

Speaker 49 It might be a dumb question, but are there any golfers that are luckier, that are better at being lucky than others?

Speaker 39 I mean, I'm sure there's some that would say they're probably luckier. I think Jordan, for the first probably four or five years of his career, felt very lucky.

Speaker 39 I mean, you think about the way he won the U.S. Open, right? It's like...
Dustin Johnson hits it on the green, has a putt for Eagle, three putts, makes par. Jordan Speeth wins the U.S.

Speaker 39 Open at Chambers Bay, right? Like Like that felt a little lucky. It kind of not handed an open, but you know, you got the benefit of somebody kind of struggling down the stretch.

Speaker 39 I think Speet's one of those players that kind of feels lucky, but it always seems to be the guys that are like playing the best golf, right? Like Scotty feels like he gets lucky a decent amount.

Speaker 39 John Rahm feels like he gets lucky a decent amount, right? I mean, when you hit great golf shots, you're always going to be rewarded on either one end or the back end.

Speaker 39 So I always kind of lean maybe towards the better players over the maybe the guys that struggle a bit.

Speaker 49 I got a quick headline grab for you. Dig deep into the narratives of this this open.

Speaker 49 Is it now or never for Tommy Fleetwood?

Speaker 31 God feels like it.

Speaker 39 I mean, this, the Travelers thing was such a bummer. Like, I love rooting for Tommy Fleetwood.
He's my pick this week. I pick him like seven times a year, and he never wins.

Speaker 39 I kind of feel like Tommy Fleetwood's Gonzaga basketball is kind of my comment.

Speaker 78 Yeah, never been to a Final Four.

Speaker 39 Very good. Very talented.
Number one seed a lot of the time. Obviously has the talent on the floor, but doesn't get it done.
That's kind of who Tommy Fleetwood has become in professional golf.

Speaker 39 He played great here in 2019, finished second. He plays the open the best of all the majors, and he's one of the best iron players in the world.

Speaker 39 So it's kind of like, do it now or you're never going to get it done. This is the last time I'm picking him, though.
I can't pick him again.

Speaker 39 Like I said, I pick him too many times already, and he never wins, but I'm leaning on the Gonzaga of golf once again here.

Speaker 5 I have a question about the mentals of the golfers this week.

Speaker 54 So we have Scotty Scheffler just gave a press conference that was very honest and very real, where he basically was like, I celebrate a win for about two seconds and then I'm like, hey, what are we getting for dinner with my family?

Speaker 10 And just talking about like this pursuit, this endless pursuit, and maybe the highs aren't really fully worth it.

Speaker 10 And then you also have Rory talking about being honest about winning the Masters and feeling like there's kind of nothing left.

Speaker 110 Are these guys okay?

Speaker 87 Are we okay

Speaker 15 as a golf community?

Speaker 16 What's going on?

Speaker 39 I mean, everybody's also firing their caddies like every two weeks now. I don't know what's going on.
I I was texting with a caddy this morning. I'm like, this seems abnormal.

Speaker 39 Does it feel abnormal to you guys?

Speaker 39 I do think it is something unique to golf, right? And I think this was a big struggle for Rory after the Masters is you win the Masters.

Speaker 39 For you, it's the biggest thing you've ever accomplished, right? I mean, he admitted it. He talked about it.
Obviously, you see how the emotions on the green.

Speaker 39 We talk about it in the sports world for what, three days, four days?

Speaker 39 And then it's like another golf tournament that quote unquote matters as much as any other big signature events outside the majors, right?

Speaker 39 So I do think golf of all the events is the strangest one because you don't win a lot. And when you do win, you get two or three days and the narrative changes.

Speaker 39 And I mean, if I asked you guys, you guys pay attention to sports nonstop, right? If I asked you guys who won the Open two years ago or four years ago or six years ago, you probably wouldn't know.

Speaker 39 Shane Lowe.

Speaker 49 Hank knows. Hank's got it.

Speaker 49 Shane Lowry.

Speaker 18 What happened to Shane Lowry, 2019?

Speaker 39 Yeah, but Hank doesn't even know who's on the what's the live team you always ask him about.

Speaker 47 Fourier said that's good question. Yeah, good question.

Speaker 47 Let's say that's a good question. Hank,

Speaker 99 this.

Speaker 76 No, no, no, go. 4As.

Speaker 10 It's Dustin Johnson.

Speaker 42 It's Harold Varner. It's Patrick Reed.
And it's this guy. Oh, no.

Speaker 75 Eaters.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 67 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 59 Yeah, no, you're right, though.

Speaker 52 We all move on very quickly from a lot of this stuff.

Speaker 49 But I do keep like a file in the back of my head of who has won a major.

Speaker 76 Yeah, but

Speaker 85 it's actually more who hasn't won a major.

Speaker 69 It's what the file is.

Speaker 39 Like if you win a Super Bowl or NBA championship or all this stuff and other sports, you have like months to celebrate it, right?

Speaker 39 And you have all this time to enjoy it and you get away from the game and all that stuff. And golf just doesn't really allow you that.

Speaker 39 I'd say maybe the only time these players really let loose is after winning a Ryder Cup because there's not a lot of golf on the back end of that.

Speaker 39 But major season is so compact now with that PGA move a few years ago that it just feels like, hey, win it and then ride back to it.

Speaker 39 And I honestly think that was a big part of why Rory struggled at the PGA.

Speaker 39 I mean, it's a golf course he should play well at, but I do think sometimes he's like, did I get my flowers appropriately for what I just pulled off?

Speaker 39 Because nobody thought I was going to win this thing ever. And it came down the stretch.
It didn't look like I was going to win it anyway. And then I do get it done.

Speaker 39 And it's like, what are you going to do the rest of the season versus what you just got done and accomplished in your career?

Speaker 38 Well, you had an illegal driver.

Speaker 49 We found out later. Yeah.
So we can wipe that one away.

Speaker 76 That's right.

Speaker 49 So you mentioned the catty's getting fired. I know he's not playing in the open, but Joel Damon did.
part ways with Gino, his beloved caddy, recurring guest on part of my take.

Speaker 49 That one stung because I like a lot of other people. We watched Full Swing on Netflix, and it felt like these were two just great friends that were just going to stick it out together.

Speaker 49 Do you have any idea what happened there?

Speaker 39 I think that Gino has been very honest with Joel about if this isn't working for you at any point, let me know. And I think sometimes you need a new voice in your ear as a caddy.

Speaker 39 I mean, that's something Phil and Bones talked about when they split up, right? Is sometimes you have this messaging that you say to a player. And at some point, it just stops.

Speaker 39 Big cat, it's like when you yell at your kids, right? Yeah. And it just stops working and you've kind of of got to change your approach.
And it's like, do I need to be nicer?

Speaker 39 Do I need to stop offering iPad or ice cream or whatever the case may be and try something a little bit different? But the caddy, I will say, it does seem very easy right now.

Speaker 39 And I'm not saying this about Joel or anybody, but it does seem super simple as a golfer right now to say, I need a change. Let's make it the caddy.

Speaker 39 And I think sometimes the grass isn't always greener. And I know Gino's going to get another bag because he's a very good caddy.

Speaker 39 I also know Gino's one of those dudes that if he wants to do TV at some point, he would be excellent at tv so maybe if the caddy thing doesn't work out he could go down that route as well and i hope uh somebody i'm working with would hire him because he's uh he's a really really good dude thoughtful dude and knows a ton about the game yeah the other day i uh i did a countdown on my uh my daughter three two one put your shoes on like you have three seconds and uh we got past one and she we just kind of stared at each other and i think she probably needs a new dad she realized what happens nothing happens after you get to one yeah i i just i don't know i i'm currently in the same phase right now with my daughter big cat i don't even know like I have no other pitches, man.

Speaker 39 Like, I've tried all my pitches.

Speaker 39 They're just hitting them out of the park, and I don't know what else to do.

Speaker 39 I almost feel like I might read a parenting book, which I said I probably would never do, but I think I might lean that route. If you have one to suggest, let me know.

Speaker 64 I just throw out crazy shit that kind of confuses them.

Speaker 54 Like, I'll be like, we'll be driving in the highway, and I should be like, I'm going to drop you off on the highway, and you're just going to have to walk home.

Speaker 54 And they'll like laugh and just probably not in the book.

Speaker 64 Yeah, they'll be like, what do you mean?

Speaker 54 Like, we'll just get hit by cars and die. And then I'm like, all right, we have a good laugh and then we move on.

Speaker 22 Have you thought about crazy

Speaker 39 my son asked me the other day if i died and mom died could he live with dude perfect and i was like yes i don't think so yes but i know i don't know that's a yes

Speaker 69 yeah sure that's a yeah sounds great it's also a great question yeah

Speaker 49 have you tried double ice cream i know ice cream might not work but what if you just said we'll do double ice cream Oh, dude, we're on the popsicles right now.

Speaker 39 Popsicles are killing it in the summer. They love the popsicles post-camp.
It's like one of the things. At least saves me about an hour of silence, which is nice.
Yeah. Yeah,

Speaker 49 absolutely. We got to check in with you on the update on the blueprint, the handshake agreement, the framework that we have between the Liv and the PGA.
We've been all over this.

Speaker 22 So

Speaker 49 how is the Blueprint looking right now? Have we made any updates to it? Have terms been agreed upon?

Speaker 39 Dust is settled on the Blueprint. They might abandon the project at some point.

Speaker 39 Feels like the PGA tours kind of won this thing. I feel like a year ago, we were all maybe thinking the other side of it.

Speaker 39 But But I mean, Liv's, you know, out there and it's producing players and I don't think any of the players care about it anymore.

Speaker 39 But I don't feel like they're anywhere any closer than they were when they said it was pending 18 months ago, two years ago, whatever the case may be.

Speaker 39 It just feels like the blueprint is an idea of like the vacation home that you decided you can't afford. Yeah.

Speaker 38 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It just got everyone off their back for a little bit.

Speaker 80 Yeah.

Speaker 39 I mean, you just throw words out in sport and then people go, oh, you know, it's like we're searching for a new coach.

Speaker 39 The process is out there, and then, you know, you never hire a new coach.

Speaker 49 We've got concepts of a plan of the two mergers.

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 63 Can,

Speaker 81 so, so, give us your, if you had to pick, if I had one gun to head, gun to head.

Speaker 100 Max, put your gun up, gun to head.

Speaker 49 Max is leaving.

Speaker 110 Shane, you have to give us five guys, and one of them

Speaker 98 point a gun at me. Yep.

Speaker 49 Zach point a gun. Oh, he's got the gun.

Speaker 78 No, he's not doing that. That's not a DNA.

Speaker 112 Memes,

Speaker 113 change the,

Speaker 7 show Shane the guns that Zach has at him right here.

Speaker 66 Oh, look at at that. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 38 Oh, my goodness. Yeah, they're dope.

Speaker 39 Never thought he would come that way.

Speaker 80 All right, I got names for you.

Speaker 81 Five guys.

Speaker 39 I got Tommy Fleetwood.

Speaker 112 Okay.

Speaker 39 Finished second, 2019 at Port Rush. T4, T10, two of his last three starts at the open.
I like Tommy Fleetwood. You guys are DraftKing guys, right? Isn't that the deal?

Speaker 112 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 39 I was looking up some numbers on DraftKings. Speed, I like a little bit as a sleeper.
Okay. Plus 450 DraftKings to top 10, plus 900 to top 5.
I like both those numbers.

Speaker 39 I think in terms of the favorite, favorite guys up there, I like John Rahm a lot at the open.

Speaker 39 Cameron Young, I think is a long shot. I'm a fan of.
He's played great at the open in his very short career. And then Harry Hall is a name I also like.
He's played some solid golf this year.

Speaker 39 Maybe not to win, but I think somebody to finish in the top 10. Plus, he's sponsored by the Hard Rock Cafe, which I think is the funniest golf sponsorship out there right now.

Speaker 78 I love that.

Speaker 39 I didn't even know they still were that, like, existed. There's an iconic one in Philadelphia.

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 49 the commanders took it over we took it over before the game it was all over the place oh no way yeah is the was the food okay like is it still memorabile all over the place like how was it well i wasn't there for it it was just not it's like a philly stronghold it's the most important restaurant in downtown philadelphia and for the commanders fans to take that over really said something uh so yeah i'm i'm very i'm intimately familiar with the uh okay with the harsh i feel like i'm gonna go to a chilies over

Speaker 39 but that's okay oh that's great

Speaker 42 chilies yeah hank did you have a question i was gonna say also cameron young mlb

Speaker 39 what do you mean yeah he's got got the mlb like that's probably the second most ridiculous sponsorship in golf oh yeah yeah i don't get that hank i don't get it at all i just don't like what are they getting out of that i think his dad is just friends with rob manfred or something that's awesome what's the wait what's the most ridiculous well he said hard rock i think hard rock i think hard rock cafe in harry hall is pretty ridiculous i do like the idea of a professional athlete being sponsored by a different sport that's kind of cool i would love to be sponsored by the nfl yeah that's the most golf thing ever if you guys remember payne stewart the late payne stewart was sponsored by the nfl for a while and he would wear the team, local team's color outfit that week during the tournament, which was awesome.

Speaker 39 That's right. Go to Miami and have dolphin colors.
Yeah.

Speaker 49 What about our good friend, our dear friend Chris Godderup, just won the Scottish Open. Confirmed AWL.
Confirmed AWL.

Speaker 49 Is there any translation between winning the Scottish Open and then how you perform at the Open Championship?

Speaker 39 I mean, I think, you know, I mean, obviously keep the train rolling, but again, it's not the same golf course as the Renaissance. I hate saying it that way, by the way.
It sounds ridiculous.

Speaker 39 But that place, you just drive the hell out of the driver, just hit it as far as you can. This place, again, not going to be that type of golf course, but he's playing solid.

Speaker 39 So, I mean, I could see him going out there and kind of following it up with maybe a top 25 or top 10. I don't think he's going to win.

Speaker 64 What about big week for our guy, Brooks Kepka?

Speaker 2 We have the takies on Friday. So

Speaker 39 he's already called in, or is he calling in?

Speaker 2 We have not taped yet the Blake of the Year, but he is obviously in the running, hasn't won that.

Speaker 3 What does he have a better chance of?

Speaker 8 Winning this tournament or winning Blake of the Year?

Speaker 39 Man, what a great question. I would say

Speaker 39 he played really well here in 2019, but that was kind of height of his power.

Speaker 39 Played with J.B. Holmes on Sunday, that kind of crushed his chances.
Like JB shot a million. I think J.B.
Holmes was T3 or T4 going to the final round and finished like 45th. I shot like 86.

Speaker 39 I would say probably Blake of the Year is probably where I'd lean.

Speaker 39 Right now, that being said, nothing would make me happier than Kepka getting in contention. Kepka and Speeth playing well in majors makes this stuff more fun.

Speaker 66 Yeah, agreed.

Speaker 38 Agreed. Agreed.

Speaker 27 Big time agree.

Speaker 49 You just mentioned like he got screwed by his partner. Is that a pretty common thing where if your partner,

Speaker 49 if he shoots like in the 80s, that you have a most of the guy, most of the time, the other guys that are paired with him have a very hard time shooting low?

Speaker 39 Depends on the personality. I mean, Kepka's not, I would think he'd probably even admit this, not the most patient golfer out there.
He does not like slow play. He doesn't like guys that take forever.

Speaker 39 When you're shooting 86, you're taking forever. J.B.
Holmes is also very slow. So he was slow and shooting 100.
So that doesn't help the situation.

Speaker 39 I think some guys just can kind of like check out, look away, look at the water, talk to their caddy, tell stories, things like that.

Speaker 39 But I think it's kind of personality-driven if you can handle it or not.

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 7 All right, Shane, I got one last question.

Speaker 3 It's a roback question: R-H-O-B-A-C K.com, promo code take 20% off your first purchase, Q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, roback.com, promo code take.

Speaker 54 Like I said,

Speaker 48 they have recaps of every round, right?

Speaker 10 Golf on CBS on YouTube.

Speaker 27 So we do something.

Speaker 39 We do something with CBS on the YouTubes throughout the week, and then we'll do the HQ hits and all that good stuff as well.

Speaker 16 So make sure you tune in because

Speaker 5 you can see the analysis after every round.

Speaker 3 Shane is the best in the biz when it comes to this stuff.

Speaker 104 And speaking of,

Speaker 56 you love golf.

Speaker 56 You golf a lot, but you also have a job.

Speaker 7 And I wanted to say thank you, Shane, because he actually had a tea time that he moved to come on this show today, something that Henry Lockwood would never do.

Speaker 39 Yeah, I had a 9 or 30.

Speaker 99 What's the question? Hold on, what's the question?

Speaker 76 Yeah, that was a robot question.

Speaker 113 Robot question.

Speaker 16 Shane, if you were playing Dungeons and Dragons with us, would you be complaining that it's going too long because you had a tea time?

Speaker 39 No, I would be dialed on my job. I'd be locked in and I'd be ready to roll.
But that's something that

Speaker 39 I'd be doing. I mean, like, shout out to my buddy Katropa and Joe Musso.
I was supposed to be playing a little golf with them this morning.

Speaker 39 Big cat texted me yesterday and I went, hey, listen, man, when the boys call, I got to do it.

Speaker 98 And golf be damned.

Speaker 49 But wait, what if it was on your birthday?

Speaker 39 I mean, even more reason to do my job. Nobody cares about my birthday.
I'm not turning 16 anymore.

Speaker 78 Yep.

Speaker 39 Like every birthday I have from this point forward matters almost 0% to everybody involved.

Speaker 103 How's your game right now?

Speaker 4 You know, dude, I.

Speaker 39 I kind of lost it a little bit earlier this year and I just found something about two weeks ago.

Speaker 39 So trending upwards, I'd say.

Speaker 39 I shot a couple under the other day, which was nice. And my home club have not touched that number in a little bit.
And I got a big tournament next week that I'm looking forward to.

Speaker 39 So I'd say it's on the up and up. How's Hank's game right now?

Speaker 49 It's not bad.

Speaker 52 He's playing a lot. He missed an entire day of workout in Lake Tahoe.

Speaker 49 He's not as long as he would like to be. Yeah.

Speaker 39 Dude, I watched the long drive video, PFT. I mean, you were giving it.
everything you had. And was your back that messed up?

Speaker 49 My back's really messed up right now. Yeah, it sucks.

Speaker 49 Great course, right?

Speaker 46 Did you like the course that we were playing on?

Speaker 39 Yeah, it looked great. Yeah.

Speaker 81 We got more coming.

Speaker 7 We played a skins match that's a great course.

Speaker 49 We talked to the guy that runs the course, and the last thing he said to us before we go out there, he goes, okay, don't get bit.

Speaker 38 Yeah. And then we're like, what?

Speaker 72 Oh, bit by what?

Speaker 49 Yeah.

Speaker 38 He's like, coyotes and bears. Okay.

Speaker 39 I was caddying in Australia years ago for a friend of mine on the LPJ tour. And I am like, I'm not an arachnophobe, but I do not like spiders.
Like, get out of my face with that stuff.

Speaker 39 Snakes, whatever. I lived in Arizona for a long time.
Not a spider guy at all. And I'm like, jet lag, get the bag out of the car.
I'm walking to the first tee to play a practice round.

Speaker 39 And I almost walk into a spider web with a spider that was probably seven inches long. Like one of those ones that looks fake, like you'd put like outside of your house for Halloween.

Speaker 39 And I told my friend Irene, I go, listen, don't take this the wrong way, but if you miss hit a drive and it goes into shit, I am not looking for it.

Speaker 69 Like, you can have a spotter help you.

Speaker 39 You can go look for it if you want, but I'm out. Like, this is not part of my job.
I'm not getting bit by a spider.

Speaker 78 No, thank you. Yes.
Yeah.

Speaker 49 I will never golf in Australia. Everything in Australia will either kill you or buy you a beer.
Yeah.

Speaker 67 Yeah. It's really weird.

Speaker 78 Why is it all in Australia?

Speaker 39 None of it, New Zealand. Don't understand that.

Speaker 69 That's true. That's a good point.

Speaker 4 All right. Well, Shane, you're the best.

Speaker 48 Thank you.

Speaker 5 Appreciate you as always. And we'll talk soon.

Speaker 39 Thanks, boys.

Speaker 109 Cracker Barrel is home to all the more country anytime.

Speaker 121 That means buttermilk pancakes whenever you want them, homemade plastics like chicken and dumplings, and a country store full of fun finds. Swing by and visit Cracker Barrel today.

Speaker 37 Guys on chicks, but first, Zach, we have an official date.

Speaker 2 Don't say time or place or anything, any details, but do we have an official date?

Speaker 82 I won't dox the date, but we do have an official date. Let's go.

Speaker 41 We do.

Speaker 60 All right. We got date.

Speaker 92 We have time, location, activity.

Speaker 20 Don't say all of them.

Speaker 82 We do have all of those things.

Speaker 82 Today is not that day. The day is coming soon.
So as long as she's still down for the date in the upcoming days, we will be going on a date.

Speaker 49 Are you excited?

Speaker 82 I'm looking forward to it very much so, PFT.

Speaker 3 I'm excited for you.

Speaker 59 And I think you're going to nail this.

Speaker 49 What was the response like? Was it happy? Was it friendly?

Speaker 82 In

Speaker 82 the discourse back and forth,

Speaker 82 I would say so. It was

Speaker 82 friendly, cordial.

Speaker 49 Friendly cordial. A good baseline to build off of.

Speaker 70 Friendly cordial is a great combo.

Speaker 82 I think it

Speaker 39 hopefully it goes well.

Speaker 78 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 49 We're not not doing Pilates on the first date.

Speaker 82 Thankfully, we're not getting into a Pilates studio on the first date. No, that would be catastrophic DEF COM one, or the highest of DEF COMs.

Speaker 70 Yeah.

Speaker 62 I can't ever remember if it's five or one.

Speaker 78 I think it's I think it's one.

Speaker 82 Have you guys seen the contraptions you got to get into for Pilates?

Speaker 98 I have, yeah.

Speaker 67 They're intimidating.

Speaker 20 It's scary.

Speaker 7 We're going to, we'll, we'll maybe, if the, if the first date goes well and there's a second date, then we will do a video of us trying out Pilates so that we can get you up to speed.

Speaker 82 I did see there were quite a few Pilates studios trying to get you guys to do Pilates.

Speaker 69 Oh, okay.

Speaker 84 All right. Well, we'll maybe do it.

Speaker 30 Uh, all right, Hank, guys on checks.

Speaker 42 Hey, PMT, another Rachel AWL here. Just want to say that I've been listening for years, and Zach is one of the most genuine and well-intentioned people you guys have had on the show.

Speaker 42 His genuine appreciation and excitement for everything he gets to do makes me so happy. My question is: Zach, if you could plan your ideal first date, what would it be?

Speaker 82 Don't dox your date. Don't dox your date.
I definitely, I won't dox your date. Ideal first date.

Speaker 82 I think drinks is a safe call. I also think maybe like

Speaker 82 an activity, but not too strenuous. Like intermediate strength.
No, no, no, no. Beginner strenuous.

Speaker 28 Beginner.

Speaker 56 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 38 Maybe a walk. A light walk.
A walk would be not bad.

Speaker 93 Wine walk. A little wine action.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 17 A walk would, I feel like a walk is good because you can, like, you could do a walk and then if it's going well, be like, let's go grab a drink.

Speaker 104 It's kind of a lead-in.

Speaker 109 You have some the checkpoints along the way.

Speaker 82 Yeah.

Speaker 100 And I feel like a walk also hits that

Speaker 29 every girl's brain being in a rom-com where it's like, hey, let's walk the city.

Speaker 62 If it's in fall, love.

Speaker 35 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 49 Nice autumn walk. I also like how Zach's brain works in terms of video games, like hitting the checkpoints along the way.
So if you screw something up, you just go back to the bench.

Speaker 49 Yes.

Speaker 82 I could see the similarities there. Yes, we'd have to go back to the save point at that point.

Speaker 85 Yeah.

Speaker 67 Okay.

Speaker 42 Hey, guys.

Speaker 42 Hey. I was recently on my honeymoon with my husband, and I I found out he body washes before he washes his hair.
I've always done the opposite, and I shampoo and condition my hair before I body wash.

Speaker 42 Am I the weird one, or is he?

Speaker 49 I think it just comes down to guys versus girls. More specifically, long hair versus not having long hair.

Speaker 35 This is also a good Mount Rushmore don't care about what order you wash in.

Speaker 42 I also definitely do not have a consistent order at all.

Speaker 49 Because guys, especially guys with short hair, we just take the body wash and then we just put that all over our body.

Speaker 60 Yeah, what did you say?

Speaker 49 Because I used to have short hair. Oh.

Speaker 49 So it's like you just take the all-in-one.

Speaker 74 I'm stealing Valor.

Speaker 85 What's that a wee you can use?

Speaker 49 Yeah, for like 30 years.

Speaker 27 Yeah, I don't know what order I do it in.

Speaker 54 I don't think it matters.

Speaker 68 I do body wash and then wash my hair.

Speaker 55 I think I do.

Speaker 68 I do body wash first. I think you're supposed to do.

Speaker 68 You're supposed to.

Speaker 55 You're supposed to share.

Speaker 60 You're supposed to shit.

Speaker 16 Oh, then get in the shower.

Speaker 68 I can't tell you the last time that I've taken a shower without at least trying to shit.

Speaker 103 Yes, of course.

Speaker 68 And I sit on the toilet for like 20 minutes. Yeah.

Speaker 108 Whatever.

Speaker 68 But I'm normally body wash before wash your hair, but I think you're supposed to like let the conditioner stay in your hair.

Speaker 55 Yeah.

Speaker 38 I wonder.

Speaker 42 I found out when I was like 26 that you were only supposed to wash your hair like once or twice a week. Yeah.
I did it every day. I still do it every day.

Speaker 28 I wonder, do you think, how many women do you think realize that we do not take long showers as men?

Speaker 34 We're just shitting for the first 20 minutes of the shower.

Speaker 96 Because I turn the shower on.

Speaker 100 And I know it's kind of wasting, but I also don't want anyone to hear me shitting.

Speaker 68 You're a self-conscious shitter.

Speaker 101 Well, I mean, I've learned that I do some damage, dude.

Speaker 55 Yeah, it's not pretty.

Speaker 26 Yeah, bag it up.

Speaker 48 Yeah, listen, I had a couple tweets about that.

Speaker 6 Uh, probably overshared, but I also stand by what I did, and I'll have to do it again.

Speaker 16 Done it before, did it in Tahoe, gonna do it again.

Speaker 1 If you get stuck in a situation where you have a clogged toilet, just find a little plastic bag, put your hand in it, do it.

Speaker 49 Do they make an all-in-one body wash that also has, like, you can brush your teeth with it?

Speaker 85 Like all, all in one.

Speaker 61 And drink, and drink.

Speaker 72 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 49 You got, you get the shampoo, the conditioner, the body wash, the toothpaste, the mouth wash.

Speaker 38 Flube to jerk off.

Speaker 49 Flube to jack off. Deodorant.

Speaker 79 That's just body wash.

Speaker 49 No, body wash.

Speaker 49 It can dry you out, Hank.

Speaker 49 Jack off with body wash.

Speaker 68 It stings.

Speaker 69 Dry you right out.

Speaker 82 Dr. Brauners just have a couple 18-in-one options.

Speaker 38 18-in-1? I love that.

Speaker 40 You can do full body teeth.

Speaker 49 It's got a meal in there. It's got protein.

Speaker 82 I don't know the calorie stats on it, but maybe.

Speaker 49 It's pre- and post-workout.

Speaker 27 Why not? Yeah.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 82 Douche.

Speaker 49 Douche your butt.

Speaker 42 Hi, PMT, boys. First of all, speaking for the lady AWLs, we're very offended Max wouldn't consider attending a bachelorette party for his punishment.
Yeah, it was disgusting.

Speaker 49 Great.

Speaker 42 Secondly, as someone who is striking out on the dating apps, would you consider helping me with the new opening line to use on guys to really their attention? Tits only get you so far.

Speaker 47 Wait.

Speaker 49 An opening line?

Speaker 34 No, tits get you everywhere.

Speaker 41 What?

Speaker 41 I don't know.

Speaker 22 I mean, just tits are there. He's just the tits.
I have to say hi. Yeah.

Speaker 64 Do you like my tits? Hi.

Speaker 34 That's actually a really good opening line because then the guy will just say yes. Uh-huh.

Speaker 29 And then you're off and running.

Speaker 49 Hey, I'm a woman. Hey.

Speaker 58 How are you?

Speaker 49 That should do the trick.

Speaker 8 Hey, I have tits.

Speaker 12 I don't know if you saw.

Speaker 41 Scroll up

Speaker 23 yeah i don't know what an opening line would work look like for a woman um

Speaker 49 just notice him doing anything be like wow you look really strong

Speaker 49 yeah or oh no maybe just hit him hit him with uh yeah like parlay for tonight question mark yeah that that would that will reel him in right there Want to go to the MLS game with me? Yeah.

Speaker 85 Yeah.

Speaker 49 Because like if a girl asks you to, she means business.

Speaker 71 I don't think that would work. She's not doing it for fun.

Speaker 61 Biggest point in the world.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 49 It is. Good point, Hank.

Speaker 42 Hey, PMT Crew, Fontime AWL here with some first date advice for a new Zach wrap. On the first date, you go absolutely need flowers.

Speaker 42 Go colorful, not just roses, and pick somewhere nice, but not too nice because you can't set the bar too high. My vote would be a chilies, so you can both get a trip dip and $1 marks.

Speaker 51 The girls love chilies.

Speaker 84 Chilies, chilies is definitely a place that girls get horny at.

Speaker 49 It's very romantic.

Speaker 66 For sure.

Speaker 9 Flowers and chilies?

Speaker 38 Is that what we're talking about?

Speaker 42 Flowers and chilies.

Speaker 15 Yeah, flowers and chilies.

Speaker 48 I think that does play.

Speaker 49 Have you thought about the flowers moves, Zach?

Speaker 82 I haven't thought about that. I do respect the Chilies move, though.

Speaker 47 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 84 You might have to get to a Chili's.

Speaker 25 Pivot?

Speaker 84 No. I can't pivot.
I can't pivot.

Speaker 49 Don't change the location.

Speaker 79 Yeah, yeah. Don't change the location.

Speaker 2 Flowers, I feel like, is a try-hard move.

Speaker 82 It's kind of heavy, first eight.

Speaker 50 It's a very heavy move.

Speaker 38 I think Flowers is a try-hard move just period.

Speaker 49 Anniversary, birthday.

Speaker 48 Yeah, I do it, but I don't like it.

Speaker 49 In conjunction with other things, yeah.

Speaker 108 I'm a random flower guy.

Speaker 55 Oh, wow. Try hard.

Speaker 49 That raises a lot of questions, though, Max. Try hard.
No. Surprise flowers.

Speaker 18 Surprise flowers can get you into a situation where, like, what'd you do wrong?

Speaker 58 Yes.

Speaker 68 Flowers are the easiest thing to do, though. Like, you're just at the grocery store.

Speaker 28 Yeah, I don't like it.

Speaker 68 And you see, like, $10, and it's like, oh, yeah,

Speaker 68 why wouldn't I just...

Speaker 69 Buy these for $200. Because I did something for $20.

Speaker 42 I used to have a guy. There was a guy that on my commute home in Massachusetts would be on the street selling them.
And sometimes. Do you buy them for yourself?

Speaker 47 No.

Speaker 49 Yeah, the I fucked up flowers. Yeah.
Doesn't Ernie Johnson, every time he goes to the grocery store, he gets a dozen roses for his wife? That's a try-hard move. And then a dozen roses for a stranger?

Speaker 49 Yeah. To just give it to him? Oh, he does it.
There's flowers, yeah.

Speaker 72 That kind of rocks, actually. Yeah.

Speaker 28 Doing the stranger thing.

Speaker 49 Ernie's nice. Numbers.

Speaker 67 Three. Three.

Speaker 88 That was Hank. That was Hank.
99.

Speaker 88 Oh,

Speaker 47 memes.

Speaker 93 Memes.
