Speaker 1 On today's Pardon My Take, we are back. We're back in studio off of the 4th of July vacation and we're ready to go.

Speaker 1 We're doing, we're basically going like it's football season, a little Monday, just the boys, because we got a lot to talk about. We're going to do our Mount Rush more of little embarrassing things.

Speaker 1 We are going to do our QB rankings, which we do every year around this time. So we're going to officially put out the part of my take official, official QB tier.
Should we tier it this?

Speaker 1 So I was thinking about doing tiers. I've got a couple that are tiered, and then a couple that are just straight up number rankings.
I like tiering. We're going to piss so many people.

Speaker 1 We're going to piss so many people off. We're going to talk about our week off, catch up.

Speaker 1 We got

Speaker 1 a lot of stuff to talk about. Who's back of the week? It's going to be a great show.
We're going to get to the bottom of the fact that Zach is apparently just cloned everywhere in America.

Speaker 1 Great show coming your way to get us going. Then we're heading to Tahoe for chill week.
Man, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 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. That's where Snickers comes in, man.

Speaker 1 That thing is packed: roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk, chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 1 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 1 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.
Okay, let's go.

Speaker 1 Welcome to part of my take.

Speaker 1 Today is Monday, July 7th, and the boys are back in town.

Speaker 1 I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 We're back.

Speaker 1 We're tan.

Speaker 1 Oh, we are really tanned. I think this is the tannest this podcast has ever been.
Max, you Italian?

Speaker 1 You look.

Speaker 1 Max is swarthy right now. Yeah, I'm Italian.

Speaker 1 I got some time in the sun this week. We all got some time in the sun.
Let's quick power ranking. Who's the most tanned? Memes and Zach are by far the

Speaker 1 least.

Speaker 1 It might be Big Cat. It might be Hank, but I can't tell if that's Hank's normal.
Hank's always pretty tan. He's always tan.
I got a mean sunburn. I got a mean sunburn.

Speaker 1 But a mean sunburn turns into a great tan if you got the right skin. Exactly.
No, two days, I'm good. Yeah, have you guys been raw dogged?

Speaker 1 I've been raw dogging in a few days i did it i've raw dogged every day i did it yeah

Speaker 1 every day i didn't put on put i put zero ounces of sunscreen on it my problem is you think you're tougher than the sun yeah the sun yes i i very much think that i'm tougher than my kids have spf like 70 lying around and i'm like this is you just put on a put on like a mu moo in the sun so i just raw dog on the fourth of july they're even more italian yeah they are i'm not italian they are i had a personal challenge with the sun on the fourth and i just stared it i stared it down yeah i said it's you and me mano i mano we've been going at it now for 40 years let's put it all on the line today didn't even get burned the bet the best part about this being just going manoe mano on the sun is like you just get a nice lather sweat and you can trick yourself into being like i worked out today

Speaker 1 where you just didn't i was just sitting at the pool no if you sweat that's a workout that's a workout if you go in the sauna that's a workout if you get nervous that's a workout yeah but we're back we're back so we're going no guests today because we haven't seen each other in 10 days uh and we're about to head to tahoe we're going to do some great interviews, and we also got some stuff we got to catch up on.

Speaker 1 Where do you guys want to start? I have so many things I want to get off my chest. I have a serious topic.
If you want to do a serious topic, let's wait. Let's wait on the serious topic.

Speaker 1 Okay, like seriously, serious? It's as serious as serious could get.

Speaker 1 You want to do the serious topic? I would like to do this seriously.

Speaker 1 I'm going to be thinking about the serious topic if we don't do it. I would like to do the serious topic, and it's very serious.

Speaker 1 I thought about it for a long time since Friday.

Speaker 1 I really do think that Joey Chestnut might be the greatest athlete of all time. Yeah.
I actually like broke it down.

Speaker 1 So, 17 titles, his comeback to Coney Island, he goes 70 and a half dogs. And I was thinking about it, and I was like, so I'll give you,

Speaker 1 let's just be, let's, let's be liberal with it. Let's say, okay, you say in bull, Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali.
We'll give you some of those. Secretariat.
Secretariat.

Speaker 1 Satch Nintendo car. But where does it,

Speaker 1 like,

Speaker 1 where does it, where does it, where do we, I think he's a better athlete than Pele. I think, oh, yeah.
I mean, soccer is a team sport. Yeah.

Speaker 1 If you have a couple guys missing from your team in a soccer game, you might not as well even play. I think he's a better athlete than Wayne Gretzky, no offense to the great one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, like, I don't even really consider hockey to be athletics. Yeah.
It's more of just like, you know, it's ice dance. Skating around with the boys.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Where is...

Speaker 1 Tom Brady or Joey Chestnut? Tom Brady, but team sports is, it is, it is a lot harder. Yeah.
Yeah, I would say. Like Tiger Woods, I would give over Joey Chestnut.
Okay. I'm fine with that.

Speaker 1 No offense to our good friend Scotty Scheffler. Joey Chestnut's a better athlete.
I think that Joey Chestnut. Scotty can get there.
Scotty could get there.

Speaker 1 It's Joey Chestnut. It's Usain Bolt, and it's Tiger Woods.
Yeah. That's it for me.

Speaker 1 Would you say Michael Phelps? Maybe, but he smoked marijuana. Yeah.
Bad example. So

Speaker 1 however you slice it, he's like top five athlete of all time?

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, what he did on the 4th of July, what's so impressive about it is that there's nobody pushing him, no one's pushing him for second place.

Speaker 1 So, uh, the second closest got what, like 40 something.

Speaker 1 It was a joke, it was not a contest, but he pushes himself because he's that determined of an athlete, he's intrinsically motivated. Yep, he wants to be great, he's sustained greatness.

Speaker 1 And so, all these are true, and it's almost 20 years now, 17 titles. Yep, I was looking at it because when you have,

Speaker 1 like, you know, these incredible once-in-a-lifetime athletes, they're like, God, thank God I'm alive to watch this.

Speaker 1 Obviously, people poke holes at it, and they're like, well, he wasn't pushed because he's had to push himself. People forget, Kobayashi was the greatest of all time in his prime.
He was in 2006.

Speaker 1 That was the last time that Joey Chestnut lost to Kobayashi. Kobayashi was 28 years old.
It was a 12-minute hot dog race. And Kobayashi broke the record with 53.5 hot dogs.
Yeah. 53.5.

Speaker 1 Which was amazing at the time. Amazing.
Here's the button. The bottom line is: Kobayashi was eating against plumbers and electricians.
Yep. George Festnut is competing against guys

Speaker 1 that would have

Speaker 1 Kobayashi and other guys that would have pushed Kobayashi. Right.
So the next year, after he lost that in 2006, he won. He beat Joey.
He beat Kobayashi with 66 dogs.

Speaker 1 So he smashed the world record by 13.5 dogs. He went and was like, it is mine.
Never looked back.

Speaker 1 2008, first ever 10-minute contest. That was the last time Kobayashi pushed him because they had the famous overtime hot dog eatoff.
Yeah. Where

Speaker 1 he finished five dogs in 50 seconds after eating 59 hot dogs.

Speaker 1 And then here's the crazy part because we obviously know 2015, Joey Chestnut gets broken up with a week before, and Matt Stoney beats him 62 to 60.

Speaker 1 Okay, I actually think that's better for his legacy because it shows that he's human. Well, that's also you have one blip.
Let's look at what Matt Stoney was doing for that one year that he showed up.

Speaker 1 That's like Brady Anderson hitting 50 home runs. Yeah, it's a good point.

Speaker 1 But then here's where, here's where Joey Chestnut is the greatest of all time, in my opinion, because he loses that 2015 year, and then he comes back, and he is the first man ever to eat 70 hot dogs.

Speaker 1 And then what does he do after that? He then beats his own record with 72. Then what does he do after that? He beats his own record with 74.

Speaker 1 Then he has a down year with 71 and everyone's like, oh shit, he's washed. He's like, haha.

Speaker 1 I'm going to eat 75. And then I'm going to eat 76.
So he keeps pushing himself to that level. And then he obviously wasn't there last year.
And everyone's everyone's like, well, is he washed?

Speaker 1 He's getting up there in age. No, 70 and a half dogs.
He's the only guy who can eat 70 dogs. He's done it like six times.
Yeah. No one's going to touch him.
It's the greatest.

Speaker 1 He's going to retire when he calls it a day. He's not going to get forced up by anybody.
There's not going to be anybody that takes the crown from him.

Speaker 1 In fact, it's going to be a dark day when Joey Chestnut retires from eating. Oh, it'd be tragic.
Because the next 4th of July. is going to be a guy that wins eating like 43 hot dogs.

Speaker 1 He might actually kill the sport of hot dog eating. Yeah.
Yeah, no, never, unless there's, unless there's a kid out there who's watching this and someday we'll eat 80 hot dogs.

Speaker 1 We're going to look back and say, hey, we were there for the greatest era of hot dog eating, and it was Joey Chestnut. And again,

Speaker 1 it's coming up on 20 years now of dominance. We don't even have somebody that he could pass the torch to, right? There's no next up.
No. Bonnie Blue? No.
I don't know. No.

Speaker 1 The guy, Badlands, I think he broke the record for most of the lemonade chug. Badlands Booker's a cool guy.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I got to meet Badlands Booker and Joey Chestnut in a strip club in South Carolina. That sounds like back in like 2007.
It was great. They were doing a corned beef cabbage eating contest.
Love it.

Speaker 1 They were at the strip club until probably four o'clock in the morning, just getting absolutely shithoused. That's the thing is, Joey Chestnut, I mean, you heard it on Wednesday when we had him on.

Speaker 1 He gets fucked up after this. Oh, yeah.
I mean, you have to.

Speaker 1 When I competed in this competition, I ate 12 hot dogs and then I just laid on my bed for, I don't know, two days because I felt like such shit.

Speaker 1 Joey Chestnut is like, yeah, I'm just going to go booze more than anyone boozes after eating 70 and a half dogs.

Speaker 1 I know that we've done it with the bear, the bear that sits down and eats the hot dogs before.

Speaker 1 But I want to see like animals that can compete head-to-head against an all-time eater like Joey Chestnut. Like what animal do you think would be able to accomplish the 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes?

Speaker 1 I feel like it exists.

Speaker 1 Maybe like a

Speaker 1 blue whale just because they could just throw it into its mouth? Yeah, you just meat though. Yeah.
What? They don't eat meat? Oh, they got the

Speaker 1 plankton? They got the bristles, too. What's going on in the whale world?

Speaker 1 Just a lot of more cleaning excursions I've seen. It's good to see.
Oh, okay, good. People doing the Lord's work.
AI videos, yeah.

Speaker 1 And then we also had the Joey Chestnut.

Speaker 1 Max tweeted about this, the Embrace Debate. What was it, Max? I love this because this is peak July sports fodder.
Yeah, this was awesome. It was if you have Usain Bolt

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 Joey Chestnut both at the start of a 100-meter race,

Speaker 1 but neither of them are allowed to start the race until they finish a hot dog. Who wins? I think Joey Crushes.
It's not even close to Joey Crushes. Because you've got to think that.
What about 400?

Speaker 1 400, I think it's then it's Usain. What about 200? I think 200 is where it gets close.
I think 200 Usain Bolt would also win. But I think that it switches at a mile.
I think Joey Chestnut beats him.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 I don't think so.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Where is the switch coming in?

Speaker 1 I need you to explain this to to me. So stay with me here.
Usain Bolt has literally never run a mile in his entire life. Ever?

Speaker 1 That's a fact? He said that on part of my take. Did he? Yeah.
I don't remember his Wi-Fi wasn't great. He has never run a mile in his entire life.
Joey Chestnut, at least he looks like he works out.

Speaker 1 Listen, I actually think Joey Chestnut, like, if you told me Joey Chestnut could run an 11-second, 100-yard dash, like, probably. He can do anything he wants.
Right. I wouldn't be shocked.

Speaker 1 No, but I think 200 meters, I think Usain Bolt gets him.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I don't know.
Because Usain Bolt could probably, he could take down a hot dog in, what, 10.

Speaker 1 No, because remember,

Speaker 1 so I was with PFT when we were doing this, when we were talking about this hypothetical. Yeah.
And I tried to eat a hot dog as fast as I could. Yeah.
Well, you're...

Speaker 1 No offense, Max, but you. No, no, no, I was about to say that you're not in as good shape as Usain Bolt, but you probably are.
What does that have to do eating a hot dog? I think we should do this.

Speaker 1 How long did it take to eat a hot dog?

Speaker 1 It was like 10 seconds in, and I was like,

Speaker 1 I had bitten halfway through, and I was still chewing. Like, I think it probably takes a normal person like 30 seconds to eat a hot dog.
Can I be honest with you, Max? What?

Speaker 1 Until you just told me right now that you were trying to eat that hot dog as fast as you could, I had no, I thought that's how you just normally eat hot dogs.

Speaker 1 Wait, no water, too, right? No water. Yeah, I think we should do this in Tahoe.
Okay, let's just find a track, or we don't, we just do it in a field.

Speaker 1 Let's just all, like six of us, just race one hot dog 100 meters. Yeah, just to see how long it would take.
Just to see how long it would take.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 they're not averaging either of them.

Speaker 1 I would just like to see the video. Yeah.
I'd like to see the baseline. That would be a funny video.
Yeah. And actually,

Speaker 1 we shouldn't do it head-to-head. We should do time trials because that would make

Speaker 1 everyone watching you eat a hot dog and then sprinting is so awkward. That actually should be on the Mount Rush War of Embarrassing Moments.

Speaker 1 Your boys watching you take down a hot dog and sprint. But yeah,

Speaker 1 I think Joey crushes him. I don't think it crushes him.
Yeah. I think it's.
No waters.

Speaker 1 No waters makes it tough. Hank will probably puke before he even matches that.
That's wrong Andre.

Speaker 1 Hank's, I can already see it. It's going to be like, let's say Wednesday morning in Tahoe.
Hank's going to be mad. We're going to do it at like, I don't know, say 10 a.m.

Speaker 1 Hank's going to be mad that we haven't let him eat yet. And then he's going to be so hungry and mad at us.
And then he's going to eat half a hot dog and be like, I'm full.

Speaker 1 That is your breakfast. Yeah.
And then he's going to be mad at us that we made him too full. That's going to be a fun day.
I'm excited. Chill week.
Hey, we we made the rule last year, chill week.

Speaker 1 We all just chill. We don't fight.
We were in a great mood last year. Yeah, we're going to do that again.
We're excited to go out there.

Speaker 1 So yeah, that was a, when I saw you tweet about that, Max, they're like, this is just such a perfect like mid-July where there's just nothing. Like

Speaker 1 you can basically watch your baseball team and then have hot dog hypotheticals. We were at a barbecue.
We had the entire party. The entire party was talking about it.
I love it.

Speaker 1 Like I would bring it up to one group of people. There were people who were saying you

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. There's a lot of people, a lot of people online were saying it, too.
Yeah, all due respect. Those people are dumb.
They don't know dog. Yeah, they don't know dog.

Speaker 1 They don't respect, to go full circle here, they don't respect the greatness of Joey Chestnut. Correct.
They respect Usain's greatness. They don't respect Joey Chestnut's.
That's the problem.

Speaker 1 And I'm here to say he is. Top five.
I'll give you four guys if you want to name him. He's top five athlete of all time.

Speaker 1 I think it's fair. I'd agree.
Hey, it's Big Cat from Pardon My Take, Take and GNC knows the holidays can be a lot.

Speaker 1 We'll help you thrive through the long days with stress, sleep, digestion, and energy must-haves. Now at GNC and GNC.com.

Speaker 1 Okay, that was my serious topic. Okay, that was a good topic.
Yeah. I have a non-serious topic.
Okay.

Speaker 1 What's up with LeBron?

Speaker 1 Is LeBron going to Cleveland? Is LeBron coming to Cleveland? Well, he's been golfing. I'll throw a couple things out there.
One has been playing golf. He was golfing

Speaker 1 in Akron, wearing a hat that said, welcome home.

Speaker 1 He reposted, I believe it was the Cavs, former Cavs athletic trainer, maybe,

Speaker 1 who was like, got to wear the, you know, the best jersey for Independence Day, and it was LeBron James Cavs jersey. Okay.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 he worked out at the Cavs facility.

Speaker 1 Which that should be illegal. If you're the Cavs, why are you letting him do that? Because he's going to be a Cav.

Speaker 1 He could have just been home for the 4th of July. Oh, listen, I understand that, but he plays for the Lakers and the Cavs let him work out? Huh.
Hmm. Huh.
Yeah, see, here it is. It's a proper attire.

Speaker 1 Proper attire. Proper attire.
I don't know. Is LeBron, is he trying to work his way back to Cleveland? I think that would be good.
Yeah. I would like to see it.

Speaker 1 And also, just throwing one more out there, Bronny, I feel like Bronny is starting to,

Speaker 1 I saw a press conference. I was like, hey, is Bronnie kind of getting out from underneath his dad's shadow?

Speaker 1 He was talking about how the only way he's going to make in this league is just being like a dog defensively, and that's how he's going to see the court.

Speaker 1 Didn't mention the only way I'm going to see the court is playing with my dad for the Lakers. No.
He didn't say that. No, he didn't say that.

Speaker 1 What about LeBron did comment on this on the 4th of July. What did he say? He said, and every summer since since it was built, I live here still and train every summer.
God damn, y'all bored, man.

Speaker 1 No, I don't think we're bored. God damn.
I don't think we're bored. I think he's doing this on purpose.
Go get a plate of food somewhere and enjoy the 4th of July. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's doing this on purpose to get everyone talking about it, and then he's going to do it. I think he's going to do it.
I don't think they want him.

Speaker 1 That might be a different conversation.

Speaker 1 Would you want him on the Celtics? No, fuck no.

Speaker 1 But the Cavs are good, and and they could, they also have a lot of good players that the original. The Cavs are good.

Speaker 1 I know, but they have the, you know,

Speaker 1 the Jared Allen, Evan Mobley. Like, there's a little redundancy there.
Do you think Cavs fans want them? I don't know. I think there's definitely some Cavs fans.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes, I think Cavs fans would be completely okay with LeBron coming back to Cleveland. I think,

Speaker 1 especially if they could get a guarantee that it was like, this is it, or maybe two years max, where we don't play the game of,

Speaker 1 are you in or are you out?

Speaker 1 Like, if the Cavs could actually strategically say, we have LeBron for a year, maybe call it two, but that's the plan, and we're not going to do like a song and dance and trading draft picks and doing this whole thing to try to extend LeBron's career.

Speaker 1 I have seen. What about Bryce?

Speaker 1 What about him? Bryce Maximus?

Speaker 1 Arizona? He wants to play with him. I have seen Cleveland.
I've seen some of the hypothetical trades that get thrown out there about LeBron. I don't even know if any of them actually work out.

Speaker 1 I think people just put faces on a graphic and they say, here's a trade that could work, and then hope that we don't plug it into the machine. Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 I don't understand how any trades work. I mean, the Kevin Durant trade, which is 17.
17 trade. It was insane.

Speaker 1 What did you think about LeBron's golf swing? Not bad. Does it feel good knowing that you could absolutely kill LeBron in golf? You could.
It does. Like, you would, you would, you would be.

Speaker 1 It's a bomb blank sport. How long, though? How much training would LeBron need to beat you? Not a lot.
I think it's it's like a week. I was going to say like three months.
I mean,

Speaker 1 he hits the ball hard. Yeah.
Yeah. If he had, and I mean, he'll probably get Tiger Woods to teach him.
He's got a very compact swing. Yeah.
Yeah. I'd take him like two months.
He'd probably be fine.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He, he, I mean, any athlete like LeBron, they go out and they're fucking around.
And he's probably by the end of 18 was like, oh, I got a birdie on this. Hole.
How'd that happen?

Speaker 1 How many times when he's playing and he hits a wedge through the guys that he's playing with be like, hey, LaFlop.

Speaker 1 Probably every, you got to say it every time, right?

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 yeah, I'm just saying, something's up with LeBron. He's at least, he's at least having fun with it.

Speaker 1 And I think there's more, I don't think LeBron, I think he does these things obviously very much on purpose.

Speaker 1 I mean, I would respect it if he just goes home with his boys and is like getting fucked up. Like, just should I just start posting this stuff? Yeah.

Speaker 1 He might be doing exactly that, but I feel like he's more calculated than that. When you're with your boys at home, it's like kind of like

Speaker 1 Fourth of July. you got the Vino out.
Yeah, you're on the course. Cigars.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. So that was, yeah, those are my serious and unserious topics.
Okay, those are good topics. Yeah.
Yeah. What else?

Speaker 1 What else we got going on that we wanted to touch on before we do our QB rankings, which is going to piss people off?

Speaker 5 Hey guys, it's Rhea from Chicks in the Office, and we're partnering with Abercrombie this party season. For me, it's the coat that makes the outfit.

Speaker 5 Abercrombie has trench coats, faux fur, and vegan leather options for every RSVP.

Speaker 5 Their party collection has been my go-to every year with satin and sequins for more dressed-up invites and their viral denim and going-out tops for more casual holiday plans.

Speaker 5 Bring the party in Abercrombie this season. Shop in the app, online, and in stores.

Speaker 1 I just have a quick seeing red on the Nationals. Oh, go for it.
Permission to go there.

Speaker 1 They fired their GM a week before the draft. We've got the number one pick in the MLB draft.

Speaker 1 Our general manager, Rizzo,

Speaker 1 he did a very very good job as the general manager working for an owner that would not give him any money to spend. So he was very limited over the course of the years of what he could do.

Speaker 1 He put together a World Series roster, made a great roster, hit on a bunch of great draft picks, and now you're firing him. The speculation is you're firing him because

Speaker 1 you're selling the team and you want to get every single front office contract off the books right now. So they fired Davey Martinez, the manager, also World Series champion.

Speaker 1 And then the surprise, though, was firing Rizzo, the general manager.

Speaker 1 I don't know what you expect this guy to do. Like, you can't, you couldn't sign Juan Soto.
You couldn't sign Trey Turner to a long-term contract.

Speaker 1 Couldn't sign Bryce Harper to a long-term contract, all because of money. Right.

Speaker 1 Not because of anything that Rizzo did. And he did a great job getting everything he possibly could get for Soto.
Like, two hours before they announced that they fired him.

Speaker 1 MLB announced the all-star rosters, and two of the guys that we got for Juan Soto are on the all-star roster for the first time including James Wood he did a great job I it doesn't make any sense blaming any of the failures of the team on that guy I that's what I don't like I agree with all of that except for I

Speaker 1 think firing him before the draft you can't make let him make the pick if you're gonna fire him he's already done all the work though yeah but you can't let him make the pick you got to just be like you got to get out of here if if you're going to fight like if they were saying to themselves we're going to fire him at the end of the year just get him out before the draft yeah but like firing a gm because you didn't give him enough money to spend on good stuff.

Speaker 1 No, I agree. That's like divorcing your wife because you got fat.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, being like, why, like, what's wrong? She gained, you know, two pounds. You gained 50.
You gained 50 pounds. Yeah, we've gained a lot of weight.
Yeah. Cumulatively.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 that is pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 I don't like it. But I guess I'm hoping that it means that they're going to sell the team soon, and that's why this is all happening.
But yeah, just bad. I don't like it.
Can I, what?

Speaker 1 Dovetailing off the all-star thing? Say a Suzuki should have been an all-star. He got snubbed.
He got what? What, Max? Because it was Schwerber?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 I mean, there was a lot of snubs this year. All right, give us some snubs.

Speaker 1 Trey Turner leads the league in hits, and he didn't even get a reserve spot. Says Suzuki leads the RBI in RBIs, fourth in home runs, 12th in OPS.
Stud.

Speaker 1 He should have been.

Speaker 1 Also, Christopher Sanchez should have been in over Mackenzie Gore. That makes no sense.

Speaker 1 I like this.

Speaker 1 He has more wins. He has a lower ERA.
Oh, wins. Oh, we're going off.
Michael Bush should have probably been. He has a lower ERA

Speaker 1 and a lower whip.

Speaker 1 You don't even know what WIP is.

Speaker 1 I do know what WIP is.

Speaker 1 Say it. It's what you put on your pot.
There we go.

Speaker 1 Wall's hits per inning pick. That's right.
I know exactly what WIP is. You probably don't even know what Babbit is.

Speaker 1 We talk about Babbip on the show.

Speaker 1 That's like the one thing we know. It's the best stat for losers.

Speaker 1 No, yeah. Christopher Sanchez not being in is ridiculous.
Trey Turner not being in his. Sey Suzuki not being in his ridiculous.
Whatever. Just put everyone in.
Put everyone in. Who can get in?

Speaker 1 Make a loaded roster. Yeah.
Everyone gets in that bat.

Speaker 1 Doesn't matter. You don't even have to give guys the bats.
Nah, I get pissed off when you don't like that. I have a question.
If it's your guy

Speaker 1 and you wait the whole game and they don't get in.

Speaker 1 I have a question. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They haven't announced the full Home Run Derby roster yet, have they? They have not. It's trickling out.

Speaker 1 What's the current Zach? Could you Google what the current list is?

Speaker 1 We have some guys that I feel good about. We got Tunya.
Yep. Cal Raleigh.
Yep. Big Dumper.

Speaker 1 James Wood. Yep.

Speaker 1 No, PCA is not it.

Speaker 1 But my question was going to be.

Speaker 1 Because when I tweeted out about James Wood being the home run derby, memes said, announce Yelich in the Derby. Memes, do you want

Speaker 1 to see

Speaker 1 me and Big Patient? But memes,

Speaker 1 you know, your job would be,

Speaker 1 you wouldn't have a job. Why? Because the show would end.

Speaker 1 The last scene of this show would be us eating each other's ass we can't come back from it'd be over you have to do a follow-up podcast no no no it's no yeah it would be like it would be like numbers oh and one last thing i gotta eat pft's ass and that's it it'd be over it'd be the best sign-off of all time you're rooting for your own demise i'm rooting for him to participate but when the show ends are you gonna be like who you're you're going to be tim tim robinson hot dog meme who like We're all trying to find a guy who did this.

Speaker 1 You guys did this. Well, yeah, but we're trying to not push it so much to

Speaker 1 Yellow. To be fair, Big Cat.
I'm not asking for Yelich to be in it. Big Cat.
I didn't want Yellich. Big Cat did it.

Speaker 1 I, being a good co-host, did some yes and

Speaker 1 where you roll along with it

Speaker 1 before you know what you say, and then you realize everything that you've said, and then you're fucked. The real pervert, the real sicko, is memes who literally wants to watch this.

Speaker 1 Also, we did it for that Christian Yelich, who had never hit 20 home runs. Yeah.
Not this Christian Yellich.

Speaker 1 You think he's going to do it? He's not in it? Yeah. No.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Think of that live stream. Oh.

Speaker 1 He's not going to. Should we call him and ask him?

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 I don't want to give him the pleasure of

Speaker 1 trying to hold this over. You're right.
You're right. Oh, God.
Memes. Memes is addicted to it.

Speaker 1 I'm going to say this right now.

Speaker 1 Hank's best friend.

Speaker 1 Gaz,

Speaker 1 who listens to every part of my take. Shout out Gaz, big time AWL.
Stats and info. He does stats and info.
He also runs all of our, he's head of all of our social at Barcelona Sports.

Speaker 1 I want to say right now, Gaz, if Christian Yellich competes in the home run derby and wins a home run derby, all of Memes' tweets should not count for his socials.

Speaker 1 Like, all of the numbers he racks up do not count for us. Throw him out reports.
Throw him out. Because those are ours.
Give it to us.

Speaker 1 Those are passion numbers. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 The numbers he racks up.

Speaker 1 He just.

Speaker 1 And then I actually think

Speaker 1 it would make us lose followers. Yeah, and I also think memes oh, yeah, oh, yeah,

Speaker 1 I'm actually thinking about it right now. Memes, I think, will ascend to a higher being.
What is it, Buddhism or

Speaker 1 what is it, Buddhism? Satosis, no, Mormon, Mormonism, no, they ascend to a higher level, Scientology, yeah, Scientology.

Speaker 1 Memes will ascend to a higher level when it's me eating PFT's ass, and then memes makes both of our faces max, and that's it. Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1 That's memes' final, that's his final note oh he makes he makes your butthole max

Speaker 1 oh man he's not competing right i listen thank god cal raley's in there because i we needed that cal raley is amazing james woodam be the biggest james wood guy james wood's great yeah

Speaker 1 i wouldn't mind if you guys just have to get a jersey uh like seven

Speaker 1 player jersey

Speaker 1 rooting for everybody every other player yeah

Speaker 1 every guy he's not he's not gonna do it i'm not crazy if he. Oh.

Speaker 1 Oh, that was. No, I think M.L.B.
I was here that he hurt his back. I think they're going to slowly roll it out, and then he's going to be the last person announced.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the 2019 home run derby roster, he was the number one seed going into it, and then he hurt his back. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You don't want to hurt your back again, Christian. No, you don't.
Oh, since we're talking ball, we should

Speaker 1 say

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 1 it's kind of a who's back, but

Speaker 1 guys betting on their own team, Luis Ortiz, for the Guardians. Yep.

Speaker 1 Of all the gambling stories that have come out

Speaker 1 of

Speaker 1 who's the

Speaker 1 Geontae Porter, Malik Beasley is obviously going through it right now.

Speaker 1 This one is very funny in just the simple fact that they have two pitches that alerted all the systems and then showing the pitches. He just throws it 40 feet.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And he just told his boys, like, dude, hammer ball to start this in it. It's pretty blatant, pretty obvious.

Speaker 1 It's a tough one for him to have to try to get out of so he's on paid leave right now yeah so they're investigating what is the investigation going to entail uh

Speaker 1 i don't know just like hey you did this right yeah this is real video right yeah this is he should be like it's ai well no they got to track it back to him i mean first yeah this ball was like

Speaker 1 but these were such egregious balls

Speaker 1 first pitch of the inning yeah

Speaker 1 they weren't even close some people were saying they're setup pitches. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 Set up your boys

Speaker 1 for a great day. So, yeah, I guess just a shitload of people bet on those certain pitches.
Yeah, and those are obviously bets that are, I would imagine, don't have a ton of action.

Speaker 1 So when there's a spike, it's pretty easy for them to be like, hey, what the fuck's going on here? Yeah. Watching it side by side is very funny.
Very funny.

Speaker 1 Okay, any other baseball stuff? Baseball's

Speaker 1 just right now. Baseball's just going.
Cubs are fucking eight home runs on July 4th. That was sick.
That was pretty great. That was a pretty cool thing to do.

Speaker 1 But dingers only, if you missed it, we all have our teams.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 we're smashing dingers. What are the live standings? Do you have them, memes? Shout out to AWLs who have live trackers.
There's a couple guys out there that put out good live trackers.

Speaker 1 Oh, here we go. Hunter Whitlow.
Shout out to Hunter Whitlow. Right now, we have

Speaker 1 in in

Speaker 1 first place.

Speaker 1 It is a tie. Stephen Shea, Hank, Jersey Jerry.
No, Brandon. Oh, no Jerry.
Yeah, Jerry with 10 home runs. And then me, Brandon, and Max with nine.

Speaker 1 And then in the rear is Zach with seven and PFT with six. I got off to a good start.

Speaker 1 Haven't had my best last couple games. Well, it's only been four days, so

Speaker 1 you can say you got off to a good start when you're last. No, a really good start in the first like two days of the league.
Yeah. You got off to the first day.

Speaker 1 And has anybody used Jersey Jerry used his IR spot? He did. He dropped.
His pedophile spot is still remained standing. Yes.
It absolutely remains standing.

Speaker 1 I think he picked up Kyle Stowers from the Marlins friend of the program. Nice pick.
Oh, no, Colton Kowser from the Orioles. Sorry.
Colton Kowser from the Orioles,

Speaker 1 who is a great dude. And Max still hasn't done the challenge.
Max still hasn't done the challenge. That's a update.

Speaker 1 If there's any baseball teams in top, nobody cares who's in last place because apparently you don't have to do the punishment. Yeah,

Speaker 1 kind of that's a really good point. Yeah, kind of meaningless.
I'm in last. That's a really good point.
PFT, remind me. How long did it take you to do the perm?

Speaker 1 Did I do the permission? Oh, okay, okay. Yeah.
Did I do the perm? Oh, oh, okay, yeah. Did he perm? Did I perm? Yeah, and it took longer, much longer than this.
I don't think it did. Yes, it did.

Speaker 1 I don't think so. Oh, yes, it did.
It took well over a year. It also

Speaker 1 did nothing for a year. Yeah, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 And the tattoo took forever, too.

Speaker 1 That's not true. Yes.

Speaker 1 I did mine pretty quickly. It took about a year.
PFT.

Speaker 1 Yes. And it ended my second in the future.
This hasn't even been a year yet. I did the tattoo and the perm, I think, on the same day.
Correct. Or the same week.

Speaker 1 Did I do it? Yeah, I'm going to do it. Okay.
You know what, PFT? Let me tap me in here. Max, it's bullshit that you haven't done this yet.
Okay.

Speaker 1 So you can't say anything to me. Yeah.
Yeah. That's what I thought.
You should do it.

Speaker 1 I'm going. I'm going to.
You should do it right now. Mallards.
Hit me up. Hit my line.
Oh, another baseball topic. What? San Diego State? USA.
USDSR.

Speaker 1 Hey, this is PFT from part of my take. A terrible call by the refs, a back-breaking interception in the red zone, brutal clock management at the end of the half.

Speaker 1 When the season has you ready to snap, don't break. Snap into a Slim Jim instead.
Slim Jim is not just a meatstick, it's the OG. Slim Jim is the bold, spicy snack that snaps back.

Speaker 1 No No fumbles, no bad calls, just bold flavor that can never be sidelined. So if your team has you feeling like you're ready to snap, call a timeout and snap into a Slim Jim.

Speaker 1 What do we think about Alvin Kamara asking for a redo on first pitch? That was crazy. I don't think you should be allowed to do that.
You can't. Athletes are perfectionists.
But you can't do a redo.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you got to abide by the tape you put out there. Yeah.
That's a crazy thing to be like, hey, let me have another shot at it. I hit the bullpen before, dude.

Speaker 1 You get a redo if you fumble?

Speaker 1 Nope. Nope.
Well, unless they overturn it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Also, shout out Clark the Cubs mascot. Yeah.
Made two great catches on Alvin Kabar turkey balls. He did.
But yeah, you can't get a redo. This is bullshit.
It does. There's no redos.

Speaker 1 It does concern me that Clark doesn't wear pants. He's got dong.
He's just dong hanging. He lays some dong.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Should we talk about Zach being everywhere? Talk about Max being back-ish.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, we should. Our guy, Max Homa, almost won the John Deere Classic, which is the fifth major.

Speaker 1 Uh,

Speaker 1 that sucked. It was tough, tough couple bogeys.
I think I liked the guy, Brian Campbell, though. Great weekend.
Big, big 10 guy. I think I liked him.
So, but yeah, I was rooting against him hard.

Speaker 1 I was, but I'm saying once, once it was once he got to the uh playoff, I wasn't going to root for the foreign guy. I do think that counts as Max being back, though, right?

Speaker 1 I think at the very least he shot a 63 on Friday Friday or Thursday. 63, and then he had a 68, 68, 68.
So I think at the very least, Max, he found something. He did.
He found something.

Speaker 1 He's going to be. Golf is a mental game.
Yeah. I was rooting so hard.
It would have been awesome.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Zach is everywhere.
So this happened over the week that we were gone. Can you pull that up real quick? It was wanted.
Have you seen this person?

Speaker 1 Matthew Allen.

Speaker 1 Shreveport police are searching for Matthew Allen, accused of stealing nearly $49,000, including $7,000 in charges to OnlyFans

Speaker 1 and using a business credit card. He faces theft and fraud charges.
And this just is Zach without glasses on. And then a bunch of dudes just started replying.

Speaker 1 And Zach is, is he the most common-looking dude out there? Like the generic American? Yeah. I don't get it.
You're every man. Yeah, so there's a guy.
Who's this guy? Florida man.

Speaker 1 What is this guy? That's Shreveport man. This guy

Speaker 1 ranks stuff? He ranks. This guy will eat entire menus of fast food places.

Speaker 1 Wait, Zach, that's little.

Speaker 1 No, but

Speaker 1 in as little amounts of bites as possible. Wait, can we watch one of these? Yeah, I'm on TikTok.
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 Zach, that is your thing.

Speaker 1 Alternate timelines. Yeah, we're just fractionally off each one.

Speaker 1 We do look shockingly alike.

Speaker 1 My build might just be pretty basic.

Speaker 1 Low VC on that. We might have to do a Zach con.

Speaker 1 How do they know that this guy he spent the money on OnlyFans?

Speaker 1 I don't know. If it's this feels like it might be an OnlyFans advertisement, it was a business, a business card, you said, right? A business credit card.
Oh, he used his company card. Company card to

Speaker 1 blow up OnlyFans. Like, we don't know what his job is, right? That's true.
So

Speaker 1 he just houses these things.

Speaker 1 That's all he does.

Speaker 1 I love the internet. Right now,

Speaker 1 he's 16 items through Arby's, and he's done it in 20 bytes.

Speaker 1 Holy shit. This is awesome.
I actually had... What's his record? Has he done like a whole menu? Yeah, I think he did Taco Bell.

Speaker 1 Let me see.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and his name is Zijak, which is crazy. This is when, so

Speaker 1 I have a lot of moments. I don't know if you guys feel the same way, but with AI, with the state of the internet, with everyone just being dicks all the time, you're like, was this really worth it?

Speaker 1 Should we have done this? Is the internet worth it? But then guys like this come along. I'm like, yeah, you know what? I wouldn't have known this guy existed.
We need this.

Speaker 1 I think this is actually what makes America great, is that you can get rich, you can get famous by simply eating fast food in your car. Yeah.
That's a level of celebrity that you can have.

Speaker 1 Wait, Hank, you pointed out this guy's name is Zach, right? Yes. Yeah.
So this, I don't understand how this is. So, right, he's going through the entire.
This is the last day of the Taco Bell

Speaker 1 menu, and he's got the nacho Bel Grande and a cheese quesadilla, but he put the nacho Bel Grande in the cheese quesadilla. I've watched this video before.

Speaker 1 I think he does it in three bites, so it's two items, three bites. Yeah, he's making turduction out of the Taco Bell menu.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So what did he end up doing the whole Taco Bell male? Let's see. Let's get to the final stats here.

Speaker 1 52 items at Taco Bell, 106 bites.

Speaker 1 I think it took him 14 days. That's incredible.

Speaker 1 Pull up the menu again, real quick. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He also ranks ranks them of which he thinks are the tastiest.

Speaker 1 Pull up the menu. Zach,

Speaker 1 you need to do a video with this guy.

Speaker 1 But there's no pleasure. He's not even for pleasure there.
He just, that's all so. No, I think it's a good thing.
Oh, no, I think he enjoys it. Yeah, it's a good thing.
Okay, fair. I misspoke there.

Speaker 1 No, you didn't misspoke. Speak.

Speaker 1 I got different opinions.

Speaker 1 Can I see the cheesy fiesta potatoes? That's the one I want to see.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm going to.

Speaker 1 This isn't like a table of contents that I can look at. Yeah, that's a ranking.
That's a last place. Yeah, this is his rank.
This is his ranking of. No, no, no, that's not last place.
There's two

Speaker 1 pictures.

Speaker 1 There's two slides here. Oh, that's right in the middle.
Yeah, 26. There were 52 items.
Yeah. Cheese quesadilla was last place, actually.

Speaker 1 But he had Bel Grande in it. I know.
I don't understand how he does that because he has a Bel Grande at 37, but the Cheese Case Dia at 52, and he ate them both together. Shout out, Zach.

Speaker 1 He's back, I guess.

Speaker 1 Great plug for you. National Sports Podcast.
We're hitting it off. Zach, how minor of a disagreement would

Speaker 1 you be like, I misspoke?

Speaker 1 Because that was crazy. That just happened.
You literally just had a differing opinion, and then you said, no, you know what?

Speaker 1 I'm going to lay down here and say, I didn't mean to say that. It just some felt like I was blatantly wrong there.
The room said, hey, don't fucking say that. And I was like, all right.

Speaker 1 You guys just did it in a nice way. And I was like, all right.
I apologize to the room.

Speaker 1 Hey, Zach, don't apologize.

Speaker 1 I can do that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Work on that. You got a lot of things you're working on.

Speaker 1 Don't we all? Yeah. All right, sweet.
Are there more Zach's underneath that? There's a lot of Zach. There is a Zach that is Zach.
That's

Speaker 1 these guys. I don't even know.
You're just everywhere, Zach.

Speaker 1 So, OnlyFans and eating in the least amount of bites possible. That's the Zach way.
I was not arrested for fraud to that first guy.

Speaker 1 Probably not me. Yeah.
Not arrested for fraud. Yeah.
Probably not me. We need to do a Zach con.
I need you, I need to get you with this. This uh, Zach is back guy, though.

Speaker 1 He's impressive, absolute eater.

Speaker 1 Shout out to him, especially if you just do the it would be great if you did the McDonald's menu with him, and then when it came to the 20 nuggets, two double cheeseburgers, two fries, but you're just taking as many bites as you want,

Speaker 1 and he's just disgusted with it. Uh, all right, should we do uh, should we do our QB rankings? Yeah, this is where it's gonna get spicy.
Let's piss everyone off, let's piss everyone off. All right.

Speaker 1 So before we do that,

Speaker 7 every soda next to Mr. Pibb got something to say.
The classics reminisce about the glory days. The doctor's giving a dissertation.
The prebiotic bubbles giving TED Talks. Then there's Mr.
Pib.

Speaker 7 Sweet cherry up front.

Speaker 1 Bold fears on the follow. No pitch, no promises, just bold cherry bringing the flavor.

Speaker 1 Some sodas talk big. Mr.
Pib backs it up. Bold kick of cherry.
Hey, yo, Mr. Pib.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 How do we want to do this? I got some tears. I have some tears as well.
I think we got to just go down and if anyone in the room has a major issue with the ranking, we can discuss. Okay.

Speaker 1 Because there's, I think a lot of the guys are within, we'll have like within two or three of each other. Yep.
Does that feel fair?

Speaker 1 Max? I like tears for the graphic. I think tears are tears on the graphic slaps.
Okay, but we also have to rank them. Yeah.
Yeah. All right, so let's start with the elites here.

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 1 Josh Allen. I think Josh Allen should be one.
I had Josh Allen number one. Coming off of MVP,

Speaker 1 I had Josh Allen one. Patrick Mahomes two.
Yep. Lamar three.
Mahomes might be washed. I had.
Oh.

Speaker 1 Go on. Please.

Speaker 1 He didn't play great at the end of the year. They choked in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Should we put that on the graphic? Hank thinks he might be washed. We're doing Wash now.
No, it's our graphic, right? Yeah. Yeah.
But the graphic, the tier can be Hank thinks he might be washed. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 1 You know what we could do? We could have, we'll do, we'll put Patrick Mahomes number two in elite, and then we could put him again

Speaker 1 wherever you think he should be.

Speaker 1 I think it's Josh Allen Lamar Jack. I mean, Josh Allen Lamar Jackson.
But you see what I'm saying? Like,

Speaker 1 if you have Patrick Mahomes like 10, we could have Hank's rank. Hank's tier is Hank's ranking of Patrick Mahomes.
Yeah, I mean, I thought we were doing this together, but that's fine. That's fine.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.
All right. So, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes.
So, you think it should be Lamar? Yeah. All right.

Speaker 1 I actually had a category of if he had Lamar's defense, he would have two rings, and that's Joe Burrow.

Speaker 1 I just had him in elite. Okay.

Speaker 1 I think those are the four. Those are the four.
I think those are the four elite.

Speaker 1 What's the next tier called?

Speaker 1 I think it's called Jayden Daniels. I think that's the.

Speaker 1 Well, this is where it's going to get interesting. I did have Jaden Daniels 5.

Speaker 1 I watched an hour of his highlights on the 4th of July as the fireworks were going off, and I was blitz, drunk, hammered. It was the best hour of my week.
Okay. I was crying.
So

Speaker 1 you think it's just Jaden Daniels 5? I think just, yeah,

Speaker 1 he's 5. Okay.
And then what's the tier after that?

Speaker 1 By the way, memes misspelled Jaden Daniels' name or whoever's type.

Speaker 1 Disrespect. Oh, that was.
Oh, that was Max, who then wrote Jalen Hurts. Put that on the list.
Interesting. I'm putting that on.
I'm making a list.

Speaker 1 Can win a Super Bowl with them? I've got technically Super Bowl champions as my next tier. So that would be Matthew Stafford.
That would make Matt Stafford, Joe Flacco,

Speaker 1 and Jalen Hurts. I like that.
Russell Wilson. You could put Aaron Russell Wilson.
Oh, you could put Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers.
Technically, Super Bowl champions. Yeah, Super Bowl champions.

Speaker 1 Okay, six. So, yeah, do it.
Jalen Hurts. What are you doing? What are you typing, memes? No, I'm typing.

Speaker 1 PFD was just saying names there. Are we actually listing it in that order?

Speaker 1 Six. That's the order I had.
Yes, six is Matthew Stafford.

Speaker 1 Seven is

Speaker 1 Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers, yeah.
Okay, yeah, then

Speaker 1 we don't want people to think we're joking. Yeah, yeah.
Eight is Flacco. Yeah.
Then nine is Jalen Hurts. Yep.
Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 I don't think he can be in there. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But it's the technically Super Bowl champions tier.

Speaker 1 But technically, he lost his ring. And it also was Seattle's defense, technically.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.
So we're at 10.

Speaker 1 You know what I realized put this list together? There's a lot of good quarterbacks in the NFL. There are.

Speaker 1 I also will get to them later, but I was

Speaker 1 like doing it.

Speaker 1 So to do this exercise, I did it actually how I feel, and then I messed around with it a little bit. But how I felt, we were getting to like the 20s before we got to one Dakota Rain Prescott.

Speaker 1 And then I went, and then I went because I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anyone. Yep.
And I googled QB rankings for 2025. Pro football focus, where do you think they had Dak Prescott? 18.
17.

Speaker 1 Exactly where we had him last year.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 But you're right. Do you list?

Speaker 1 I tried to make it work at 17. Yeah, it doesn't.
I couldn't make it the 17th best anymore. All right, so this is this next tier.
What do you want to call it?

Speaker 1 This is this is good quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 That's a great name for it. Yeah, good quarterbacks.
Jared.

Speaker 1 Jared is,

Speaker 1 there could be even great quarterbacks. Yeah, great quarterbacks.
Great quarterbacks. Jared

Speaker 1 Baker. At 11.
Baker at 12.

Speaker 1 I had

Speaker 1 wait, who's at 10? 10 is Jared.

Speaker 1 Jared Goff. Okay.
okay, I got it, got it, got it.

Speaker 1 11 is Baker.

Speaker 1 I had C.J. Stroud there.
Yep. At 12.

Speaker 1 I had C.J. Stroud.
I had Brock Purdy. I had Brock Purdy, too.

Speaker 1 And then I had Herbert and Trevor Lawrence. I had one more in that list.
Bo Nix. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 I'm a believer. Okay.

Speaker 1 Bo Nix is in there.

Speaker 1 That feels like a stretch, but.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Great. We're halfway through.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
Bo Nick's great. Do you want to say good quarterbacks? I thought he's in a different tier.
I think good quarterbacks might start

Speaker 1 after Herbert. After Herbert's.
Yeah, go 15 Trevor Lawrence at good quarterbacks. 16 Bo Nicks.
I feel good about that.

Speaker 1 Brock Purdy, I also great quarterbacks a stretch. I mean, he went to a Super Bowl.
He was in the MVP discussion. And he would have gone to another if the Eagles didn't injure him.

Speaker 1 Probably would have won. Probably would have won.

Speaker 1 Fact for fiction.

Speaker 1 You can't disagree with us on this one. No, that's a fact.

Speaker 1 It doesn't make him a great quarterback. We box you in on that one, buddy.

Speaker 1 That's a stone-cold fact. All right.
In the next category, I have a special category of I think this guy is going to be really good.

Speaker 1 Okay. Do you know who's in that? Drake May.
Drake May. Okay.
But he wasn't first in that.

Speaker 1 Who? Caleb. Pander.
Oh. Pander.
Caleb. Pander.
And then

Speaker 1 I have Caleb down. He's got to prove it.
He's got to prove it. I think he's going to be good, though.
But Drake's proven more than he has so far. I mean, that's statistically.

Speaker 1 I don't know if that's true. Yeah.
What do you mean by that, Hank? Like, what do you mean? Maybe per start. I don't know.
Per start.

Speaker 1 Did you think about per start? Like,

Speaker 1 Caleb still had a statistically very good year. He just, for a rookie quarterback, he just was on a bad team, and Jaden Daniels was significantly better.

Speaker 1 Are you looking it up? Are you getting in the stats right now? I mean, Hank might be right.

Speaker 1 Well, I get Drake May played less. That's what I'm saying, per game.
Oh, per game. Okay.
All right, let's pull it up.

Speaker 1 I was going to wait to skip to some of the second-year guys because I think there's a group of guys

Speaker 1 that are kind of in that middle weird spot where you're like, I think they're good, but I don't know. And it's the Kyler Murrays.
Oh, I had Kyler down this year. It's Jordan Love.

Speaker 1 Jordan Love, it's Tua. Tua, Sam Darnold, Gino, like that whole mess where it's like, I think they're pretty good.
No, it's still K up a little bit. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Thanks. You're welcome.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. So go

Speaker 1 with the next tier will be

Speaker 1 game to game. I think it's a game-to-game, the game to game.
Because Gino can have a great game. Yeah, we'll change.
Just have it say we'll change these rankings game to game.

Speaker 1 And it's Gino, Sam Darnold, Jordan Love. Jordan Love.
So 17 will be Jordan Love. 18, Geno.

Speaker 1 Yep, I'm fine with that. Although Sam Darnold took his job.
All right, we're all over the place back here. But

Speaker 1 what are you guys doing? Well, Memes had to step out so that it threw everything everything off. Why did he have to step out?

Speaker 1 I had to run and get water. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Sam Darnold took his job, but then also the Raiders didn't want Sam Darnold. They wanted Geno.
True. So Gino took Sam Donald's job, too.
That's true. Are we still? So we're doing Caleb, then

Speaker 1 it's we're crossing that out. That will come after.
Got it. Got it.

Speaker 1 I feel good about this. All right.
So, so

Speaker 1 17 is going to be

Speaker 1 Jordan Love.

Speaker 1 18. What do we decide? Geno Smith or Sam Darnold?

Speaker 1 The last two games from Sam were really bad. They were really bad.
They were really bad. Can we tie?

Speaker 1 I'm fine with doing Geno. Okay.
Geno,

Speaker 1 19, Sam Darnold. 20.

Speaker 1 Who would you rather have on your team right now?

Speaker 1 Geno or Sam? Yeah. Sam.
Sam.

Speaker 1 Maybe Gino. I don't know.
When are we getting into our friend Dakota here?

Speaker 1 I'm telling you, it's hard. He's not there.
He's this. All right, wait, wait, so 20.

Speaker 1 Max, he's not there. I think 20.
I would rather have,

Speaker 1 I'm a Dak hater. I would rather have Dak than Dak.
We got to go 20, Tua.

Speaker 1 Tua is game-to-game. Tua is very much.
Game to game as you get. He's the definition of game to game.
He actually should be number one. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Then 21.

Speaker 1 Yeah, 21, Bryce Young. I don't hate Bryce Young.
He played really good last year at times. And then 22, Kyler.
Yep. And then what tier?

Speaker 1 And then Dak. Then Dak.
Then Dak 22. Dak has his own tier.
Okay. Just the Dak tier at 23?

Speaker 1 No, it's the accurate ranking tier. Yep.
23, Dak Prescott.

Speaker 1 That's a good take.

Speaker 1 Now we get to some tough ones. Now, I think, is where you put the second-year guys being like, this is the...

Speaker 1 It's basically the.

Speaker 1 could be good.

Speaker 1 Put up or shut up. Put up or shut up year.

Speaker 1 Facts.

Speaker 1 I apologize, facts.

Speaker 1 All right, put up or shut up.

Speaker 1 We'll maybe change that on the graphic because that doesn't, it's still their second year. I think it's Caleb, Drake,

Speaker 1 Michael Pennix, J.J. McCarthy.
That sounds good. I do think it is very much put up or shut up for Caleb.
Oh, yeah, definitely. But it's not for J.J.
McCarthy and Michael Pennix.

Speaker 1 I think it should just be like, this is a big year for them. We'll fine-tune it.
All right.

Speaker 1 Anthony Richardson. I just had him as 32.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 he's technically like you would fit in that group, but. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Bad question mark. I like that.
Just Anthony Richardson. No, I think that's the perfect last ranking.
There's five guys left. I guess Cam Ward you could put into the group of guys.

Speaker 1 I didn't put any, yeah, no rookies. Because you could also put the entire Saints quarterback situation on.
Yeah. All right, so badge should just be Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Anthony Richards.

Speaker 1 I think those are pretty good rankings. Okay, I've got one

Speaker 1 change to make. Okay.

Speaker 1 I think in the put-up or shut-up,

Speaker 1 we might want to do Daniel Jones. Oh, yeah, I like that.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Daniel Jones for sure. Like after, maybe after Pennex.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Daniel Jones, absolutely. Because Daniel Jones.
He's basically a second-year quarterback. I might even put him over Dak.
He spent six months.

Speaker 1 He spent six months with Kevin O'Connell. What's better? What's better? Spending six months with Kevin O'Connell or spending six months with Brian Schottenheimer?

Speaker 1 Yeah, you know what? Make the accurate ranking tier just be 23, Daniel Jones, 24 Dak.

Speaker 1 I've been thinking about Daniel Jones a lot the last couple weeks. I love ranking quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 I think Daniel Jones might come back. I agree.
I love ranking quarterbacks, though, especially this time of year.

Speaker 1 Just putting them up there, getting into debates with yourself. These are pretty good.

Speaker 1 These are pretty good. All right.

Speaker 1 So it's weird. I want to be honest with you guys.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't be upset if you dropped Jaden down. I have him personally as number five.
I had him as five on my rankings. I did.

Speaker 1 Hank? You had a good year. Anyone want to? I want all the Jaden Daniels hype going into this year.
I want everyone talking about how good he is. You'll get it.
Yep. You'll get it, big boy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you actually get it twice because you have to listen to it, then you have to edit it.

Speaker 1 No, well, you know.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 We'll see. Sophomore slums happen.

Speaker 1 Are you saying you're not going to edit the show anymore? No, what?

Speaker 1 I'm saying I want

Speaker 1 the national media to last.

Speaker 1 I want the national media to hype you the fuck up. Oh, you're saying you might not have to listen to it twice much past like September.
Well,

Speaker 1 I'm there's a lot of hype. A lot of hype.
Interesting. A lot of hype against the worst rec, against the worst schedule in the year last year.

Speaker 1 Guess what? Just saying.

Speaker 1 You're talking to a big Jaden Daniels fan, so you're going to hear a lot of hype. I know.
I know. Oh, you're not the only one hype.
You want it? I want it. All right.
Well, again, I'm making a list.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 We all are. This is the list.
Jaden Daniels, top five quarterback, without question.

Speaker 1 Without question.

Speaker 1 Also, please save that as a graphic and as a sound bite that I can listen to. Yeah.
Yep. Jalen Hurts, barely top 10.
No, no, Super Bowl champion. Yeah, barely top 10.

Speaker 1 That's what it.

Speaker 1 Should we change Joe Flacco?

Speaker 1 No, no, no. We have to.
Because Joe Flacco makes it seem.

Speaker 1 I want some people to look at the list. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Take Joe Flacco.

Speaker 1 Bump him down to good quarterbacks. That's perfect.
At the bottom of good quarterbacks. Good quarterback.

Speaker 1 Or game to game. He should be in game to game.
Game to game. Game to game.
He knows that. That's no disrespect.
We love Joe. That's no disrespect to Joe.
Game to game.

Speaker 1 It's even further down. Max.
Max, how long did it take you in college to write paper?

Speaker 1 This is difficult what you're having me do right now.

Speaker 1 You're also just,

Speaker 1 you're just telling someone to go into a tier without telling me where to put them in the tier. I was in the game tier.

Speaker 1 But you're not giving me a number. At the bottom of it.
But you're not giving me a number. So what do I do? 22.
22. There you go.
Three. Oh, shit.
That just bumped. That just bumped Dak to.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, he already was 20.

Speaker 1 I like that you spelled Jordan from Jordan Love. Jordan.

Speaker 1 That's how I think every Jordan is spelled these days. Change the game.

Speaker 1 This is a great list. I think the put-up or shut-up should just be too early to tell.
That way, people, because

Speaker 1 then people will look at it and be like, okay, that makes sense. I think this is a great list.

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 1 We only have 30. We don't have the Saints quarterback.
Oh, Oh, just put 32 Saints quarterback, whoever they start. 32, whoever they start.
No, no, no. It's own tier.
Saints quarterback.

Speaker 1 32, whoever they start.

Speaker 1 That feels good. That feels really good.
All right.

Speaker 1 Should we do who's back a week and get to Mount Rushmore? It's just good to talk about football. It feels great.
I was daydreaming about football the other day. Again, just thinking about week one.

Speaker 1 So excited. Just watching highlights,

Speaker 1 seeing the grass. Do you know what's so sick? I have, I'm basically, my daydreaming is when

Speaker 1 sitting there week one and PFT, you're going to say, like, there's just so much going on, our eyes aren't used to it. And then I'm going to be like, we're back.
Lock in.

Speaker 1 And then unfortunately in my daydream, so I have this daydream of us coming in, still warmout, sitting down, watching like a quarter on all the seven TVs, you saying that line, me thinking we're back, and then Nikki Smokes saying something so fucking stupid and me getting upset and then being like, Now we're really back.

Speaker 1 Jerry walking out at halftime. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Jerry being like, I need this fullback to score three touchdowns. Season's over.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Hank's the man.

Speaker 1 All right. Hank, who's back of the week? My who's back of the week is me busting holes in Tiffany's wall.
Oh,

Speaker 1 Jerry, this happened over the break. Jerry O'Connell, master milker of bits.

Speaker 1 Oh, that was really rude.

Speaker 1 He went to Tiffany's house in Dallas. Yeah.
Posted a video, full play-by-play. Jerry came in her backyard.

Speaker 1 It just went everywhere. It went mega viral.
I had people, I didn't even see it at first. I had someone come up to me and ask me about it.
I was like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 That was two years ago. I have a question for you.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Has anyone gone and done a follow-up report in Tiffany's house? Jerry. Right.
So, but you're saying it's like a bit that he was doing investigative journalism that we have not had yet.

Speaker 1 No one followed up.

Speaker 1 We didn't know where that piece of the wall went. No, we didn't.
We didn't know how it all went down. I got some questions for you.

Speaker 1 Has there been work done

Speaker 1 on the house? On the wall. On the wall.
Yeah, on the wall. On the house.
Oh, yeah. She got it.
She fixed it up. There's been some great work done.
Yeah. Yeah.
On the wall. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Jerry. And she also, shout out to Tiffany.
She had her two-year anniversary. Or was it, no, was it? Two years.
Two-year anniversary. Has it been that long? Two years of

Speaker 1 the plane incident.

Speaker 1 Jerry sent us some very funny voice notes. Not for air.
Not for air. We can't say him on the air.
Not for air.

Speaker 1 I can't. Come on.
That was

Speaker 1 great work. I thought it was Jerry.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was just a wild. It's just a wild, wild, wild thing to do.
Well, you know what else is wild? It's just putting a hole in your wall. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, shit happens when, you know, the cowboys get smoked. And your cowboys get smoked.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And Jerry was down there for his daughter's volleyball tournament,

Speaker 1 which makes it so much funnier. So much funnier that he was like, his high school daughter was just like, here, stay at the hotel.
I got to go and do some.

Speaker 1 I got to go see about a wall.

Speaker 1 All right, good. Who's back? Also, Oasis.
Oasis is so back. So, so back.
Looked like it was a great concert. Bucket hats are going to be back.
Big time.

Speaker 1 They're doing, what, two shows in New York, two shows in LA, one in Chicago, in the United States? Yep. And then

Speaker 1 some European shows. Do we think they make it the entire distance?

Speaker 1 I'd say no. Or do you think they break up before? They have to break up.
I would be disappointed if they didn't break up during the tour. Yeah.
I think that'd be bullshit. Right?

Speaker 1 Because that means they're not playing hard enough. And that's, yeah, that means that they've changed.
Yeah. And I want the same oasis.

Speaker 1 I want, like, if you're buying tickets for this, part of the rush is spending all that money on the ticket, not knowing if that concert's ever going to happen. Correct.
Correct.

Speaker 1 It looked like the best time ever. Ever.
What a band. Shout out Wales.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Shout out Wales. Shout out to Wales.

Speaker 1 All right, your who's back. Yeah, before I do my who's back, can I just look at the Dakota Prescott line on the quarterback rankings draft again? I just want to see where it is again.

Speaker 1 It is

Speaker 1 24. Yep, nailed it.
Accurate recording. That feels good.
My who's back of the week is Bradley Beale. Yeah.
Bradley Beal might be back. Yeah.
So it looks like he's going to get a buyout.

Speaker 1 The Suns are going to pay him money to go away. And then he's going to be a free agent,

Speaker 1 reportedly, from Mark Stein.

Speaker 1 I don't think I'm done believing in Bradley Beal yet. No, he actually is

Speaker 1 still a good basketball player, just not good enough to get paid $45 million a year. Yeah.
Like, if he goes to a team and gets, I don't understand how any of the contracts worked.

Speaker 1 I'd assume it'd be like one of those league minimums,

Speaker 1 mid-level exceptions. So one of those.
Like, in theory, though, could he get a full contract from another team that's not a vet minimum?

Speaker 1 I think the problem is all the teams probably have a lot of their spots already spoken for. Right.
So let's just say he gets, I don't know, $8 million a year.

Speaker 1 Bradley Beal for $8 million a year is a pretty good deal. Yeah, I would agree.
So I'm kind of excited to see where he goes. Yeah, especially if he goes to a good team.
Hank, do you want him? Although

Speaker 1 he didn't really love coming off the bench, so that might be a problem. Yeah, would you want him, Hank? For cheap, yeah.

Speaker 1 How are you doing, Hank, with all this stuff? Because it is like

Speaker 1 you and the Pacers, it feels like they're like all right well we're in a way better spot than the pacers

Speaker 1 way better way better why way better because tatum got hurt like a month earlier better organization yeah better team but i'm saying all right we'll be back sooner than the pacers what i'm saying though is

Speaker 1 the pace like i'm saying both the teams feel like

Speaker 1 not that they're fully punting on next year but they kind of are they're like all right well next year doesn't matter we're just gonna yeah but even when the sellers are rebuilding their font okay i i think they're going to, you know, they're going to find the right players.

Speaker 1 They're going to find the next pieces for the next run. And next year, those guys are going to get more minutes than they would otherwise, and they're going to be able to

Speaker 1 build for the future.

Speaker 1 Again, how much further ahead are you from the Pacers? Like, if the Pacers got Bradley Beal, would you still say you're ahead of them? Yes.

Speaker 1 I have a question. Yes.
It just popped in my head.

Speaker 1 The Wizards suck. The Bulls suck.
Bulls can't make a trade to save their life to get real picks.

Speaker 1 The Knicks are good. The Celtics are in a weird year where they're trying to figure it out.

Speaker 1 How disrespectful is it that no one even brings up that the Sixers could maybe win the East? They're just such an afterthought.

Speaker 1 Everyone's heard in the East and no one's talking about the Sixers being like, hey, maybe it could be them. Yeah.
That is so disrespectful, Max. I love it.
I love it. Oh.
Under the radar.

Speaker 1 Disrespectful.

Speaker 1 It's normally the opposite.

Speaker 8 It's like, oh,

Speaker 1 here come the Sixers. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then this year, it's like, everyone, no one's talking about the Sixers, and they could be very good. Have you let yourself believe? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Vijay Edgecombe had 28 points in his Summer League debut. Okay.
So yeah, that's good enough. So yeah, that's good enough.
You've done it. I just need him.

Speaker 1 I would like to see a little bit of a status update on Joellen Bi.

Speaker 1 I'll say that. What is the status right now? Nothing.
No one's heard from anything.

Speaker 1 What do you mean? What does that mean?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 They don't know what he's doing. They don't know where he is.

Speaker 1 No one knows. No one knows what his health is at right now.

Speaker 1 I'm searching for Joelle and Biet updates. Yep.
Keep searching.

Speaker 1 I'm not finding anything.

Speaker 1 No one knows. Nothing.
Max, would you rather. Oh, wait.

Speaker 1 Philadelphia's Joe Embiid has been ruled out for the season. Oh, that was just Sean's tweet from February 28th.
Correct. I thought he was talking about next season.

Speaker 1 It actually would be very funny now that I'm thinking about it. Like, if

Speaker 1 it just the East becomes such a wasteland that the Sixers just get to the conference title just by default, there's a chance that they could get there without Joel Embiid, and then that would be the meeting.

Speaker 1 Oh, here we go. Here we go, Max.
From a week ago, Joel Embiid is on track to return from knee surgery when training camp opens in September. Oh.

Speaker 1 Who said that?

Speaker 1 The Associated Press. Oh.

Speaker 1 I'm not in Sixers mode, I guess.

Speaker 1 Daryl Maury talked to Embiid before the NBA draft, said he's very engaged. That means not that.
What does that mean? He's engaged in the conversation. He's attacking rehab.

Speaker 1 He's doing everything he can to be out there. He had a meeting with the surgeon this week.
Did he get engaged? All things, to use a NASA term, are nominal.

Speaker 1 I don't know what that means. That's good, I think.

Speaker 1 What does that word mean? They're nominal. It's not quite phenomenal, but I'm going to be honest with you, Max.
Nominal is one of those words I don't really know what it means either.

Speaker 1 Things are going well and expected, and we expect that to continue. There's a lot of of expectation.

Speaker 1 Very small, far below the real value or cost.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, there's optimism that he will be back for, like, okay. Yeah, this is nothing.
Yeah. Very engaged.
There's optimism he'll be back for training camp. He's been doing well.

Speaker 1 This sounds like someone who's on hospice care. It's like he's doing well.
Yeah, I don't know. There's no details in that.

Speaker 1 And Bi said, one lesson that I learned is to try and stop feeling bad about myself and just live day by day. That does sound like hospice scary.
That's crazy. He's terminal.
Yeah. This is.

Speaker 1 We don't know that. I don't know.
You don't know that. But this is what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 The vibes coming from that.

Speaker 1 He's more likely to start the season than Jason Tatum.

Speaker 1 Sounds like he's waiting on his grandchildren visit. Yeah.
He's counting his blessings. Yeah.
Well, yeah. I've lived a good long life.
What the hell is going on? It's in his.

Speaker 1 Is it just, what was his actual knee injury? He didn't tear his ACL. That's the other other thing.
He's his meniscus. He's torn his meniscus like 50 times.
This is the longest boo-boo ever.

Speaker 1 That's the bells.

Speaker 1 Does he still have bells?

Speaker 1 No, he's a large guy.

Speaker 1 He's a big guy. He's a large guy.
Max, I'm actually, I'm kind of rooting for the Sixers this year.

Speaker 1 I want to see you do well in Bass. I want all the height.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, we have no height. No, all the height.

Speaker 1 We started this conversation by saying there's no height. No.
There is no. We talked about the Sixers last week on this podcast or two weeks ago.

Speaker 1 We're talking about them now saying they could be favorites to win the East Max. Yeah.
On this show, they might be. Dark horse.
Jane Daniels, without a doubt, top five quarterback.

Speaker 1 I got the Sixers in the finals next year. You know what?

Speaker 1 I'm going to match and double. I'm going to say they're going to win the finals.
They're going to win a chip? Yeah, they're going to win the chip. Love it.
Yeah. National Sports Podcast.
All right.

Speaker 1 That was your Bradley Bill. Oh, yeah.
Bradley Beale.

Speaker 1 But I do think he'll be a good player for some team.

Speaker 1 I'm having a great time.

Speaker 1 This is just when the boys haven't talked in a while we hadn't seen basically to to to uh go behind the fifth wall fourth wall fourth wall fourth wall break the fourth wall we were texting

Speaker 1 tiffany's this morning we're like who should we have on the show and i was like why don't we just why don't we just hang out with the boys we haven't seen each other in 10 days that's all that's the long this is the longest we go because i know we did wednesday's show but we only did like 20 30 minutes to start the show maybe it was like i think it was like 45 minutes yeah yeah it was it was longer 75 it was longer listen what do we get talking?

Speaker 1 We like to hang out, but we hadn't seen each other in a long time. A lot of national sports podcasts, me and me, Hank, and memes had set a line for that episode.

Speaker 1 Uh, yeah, I actually had a moment I came back down, and my wife was like, I thought you said it was gonna be 25 minutes. I was like, Well, you know, we get talking and we just like hanging out.

Speaker 1 By the way, Hank, spot on with his

Speaker 1 75 minutes, was his line, and I think it was like 75, 15.

Speaker 1 Maximum. I said, Hank doesn't want us to podcast.
I said,

Speaker 1 No, I know. No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 I am. Numbers.
No, no. That wasn't.
That wasn't. I'm just, I'm just, we were setting lines.
Max said 50 minutes. I sent 100 crying, laughing emojis.
I was like 75 and a half.

Speaker 1 I started the conversation, to be fair, before we started the show.

Speaker 1 I put Hank and memes in a group chat. Was like, what do we think the number is? Well, when the days build up, actually, this is when someday...

Speaker 1 Very long from now, except for the fact that the Takies are coming up in AWS, you're up there. And Christian Yellich.
And Christian Yellich. Let's just say 15 years from now when we retire,

Speaker 1 we should not talk for like five years and then see how long, if we can break the podcasting record and just

Speaker 1 catch up. Not talk for 15 years.

Speaker 1 No, not talk for five years. For five years and then try to do a 25-minute episode.
Like let's see what's the first tight episode in the history of the world.

Speaker 1 I think we could, I actually think if we didn't speak for five years, we could do like a month-long podcast.

Speaker 1 You know what? We would just build up all the good stuff that we wanted to talk about and just ignore all the bad shit that had happened to all of our teams.

Speaker 1 All right, Mike, who's back is mascots because you guys see the Chiefs mascot retired. Yeah, I did.
Longest tenured mascot in the NFL.

Speaker 1 Can I just point something out that I, listen, I get it. He retired 35 years of service.
Thank you for your service.

Speaker 1 Great mascot. One of the best mascots out there.
I didn't like that they took his head off in the video. No, I don't like that at all.
They shouldn't have done that. You got to go out on your shield.

Speaker 1 You ruined it for me. You go out on your shield.
Yeah, and he was doing the same dances, but without the mascot uniform on. I was like, that's what it looks like.
I didn't want to see it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's like your final act as mascot is to ruin the illusion of the mascot. Right.
Right. My four-year-old son Chris saw that, and he was

Speaker 1 crying. Disgusting.
Because he thought that the wolf got its head taken off. Also, who's back? ESPN just fucking up with that Bobby Jenks thing.
R.I.P. Bobby Jenks.
That was such a stupid.

Speaker 1 tweet for people who missed it. Bobby Jenks passed away really sad.
He had stomach cancer.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 they said Bobby Jenks, two-time all-star pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, who was on the roster when the franchise won the 2005 World Series, he closed two of the four wins in the World Series.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 The final outcome is a big part. Big part.
Crazy. Crazy.
But yeah.

Speaker 1 Nothing like a big boy closer. Like Bobby Jenks was that.
I mean, the Pope was a massive fan of his. Yeah.
Pope was at the game.

Speaker 1 Okay. Zach, who's back of the week?

Speaker 1 My who's back of the week is Brian Steele,

Speaker 1 criminal defense attorney Brian Steele.

Speaker 1 Late last year, he defeated the state of Georgia and Fonnie Willison. Wait, wait, wait.
He defeated the state of Georgia.

Speaker 1 Who is this? Brian Steele. He's a 34-year practicing defense attorney.
Okay.

Speaker 1 And he has beat racketeering charges for his clients for the second time this last week. Just

Speaker 1 late last year, he defeated Fonnie Willis in the state of Georgia for Young Thug in the YSO conglomerate. They were wrongfully accused of racketeering charges.
Brian Steele came out on top on this.

Speaker 1 Again,

Speaker 1 wait, he's Young Thug's lawyer? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yes, his defense attorney. But he was also,

Speaker 1 Young Thug was exiled from Atlanta.

Speaker 1 That's part of his, so part of his

Speaker 1 probation limitations is he can't go to Atlanta unless

Speaker 1 a family member is sick or a death in the family. Yeah.
But he has to play a concert there like once a year, too. Yeah, a benefit concert, like don't all the money to charity.
That is correct. Yeah.

Speaker 1 there's something awesome about being exiled, by the way. Yeah, that is like the coolest thing that can happen.
So, this dude's just a badass lawyer that just keeps getting everyone off?

Speaker 1 Yes, if you got Rico charges, and oh, you remember this one, Big Ad? He said the thug in Young Thug stands for truly humble under God.

Speaker 1 I love that. Yes, that is correct.
Okay, this last time he just went up against the feds or the federal government, I apologize, for the same thing. He had a client, Sean Combs, was

Speaker 1 they were trying him for racketeering as well, and Brian Steele beat that case. So Brian Steele might just be the greatest

Speaker 1 defense attorney of all time. Wow.

Speaker 1 Lockdown D. Good for him.
Yes. So yeah, Diddy was, he caught two of the five charges, right?

Speaker 1 He did catch a couple of them. I also don't condone any charges whatsoever or criminal acts.
I just want to say that Brian himself did a great job for his client.

Speaker 1 He had a job to do and he did it very well. Yeah.
Correct. And we're not talking about the facts of it.
Zach is our chief legal analyst, and he's just saying, like, lawyer to lawyer, great job.

Speaker 1 Tip of the cap.

Speaker 1 Right, right. Okay, Brian Steele.
I mean, his name alone. Solid name.
That's a really powerful name. He's always doing like a great suit, too.
Yeah. I mean, he's a good-looking guy.

Speaker 1 34 years practicing. He kind of.

Speaker 1 Does he kind of look like Epstein? Maybe a little bit. Oh,

Speaker 1 Epstein, he was exonerated too, right? By Brian Steele? No, somebody said today that he was

Speaker 1 like, no funny business was happening. Oh.
There was no blackmail. Who is saying this? The Department of Justice said that today.
Got it. You just searched Theo Epstein.

Speaker 1 I do that all the time. I've talked about that on this show that I get.

Speaker 1 It's a really bad mix up.

Speaker 1 I do it often.

Speaker 1 My bad. My bad.
All right. Good.

Speaker 1 our former

Speaker 1 co-worker Alex Cooper sang the seventh thing he stretched at Wrigley today and got booed the entire time. Oh no,

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 I don't know if you could pull up the clip, but not great. I would like to see the clip.
Also, great. Yeah, here's the clip.

Speaker 1 Oh, here come the booze.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, she's making a mockery of it. Butchering it.
And she's also looking into the camera, not looking out to the fans.

Speaker 1 All right, this is good. Good sports talent.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't even remember. I don't even remember working with her.

Speaker 1 You got to lean over the edge. You got to engage the fans.

Speaker 1 She did like a TikTok dance for it.

Speaker 1 That's gross. Yeah.
Good, good, good booing. Good booing.

Speaker 1 That was. Me out to the Gluck.

Speaker 1 Do you think she's embarrassed by that? No. Probably not.
No.

Speaker 1 Okay. Let's do Mount Rushmore.
Mount Rushmore of Minor Embarrassment. Minor Embarrassing Moments.
Yeah, Minor Embarrassing Moments.

Speaker 1 Let's just stay with you. It is Max and Meme six points.
PFT and Hank five points. Zach and I, four points, I believe, is the standing.
Okay, so it's anyone's game. That might be wrong, too.

Speaker 1 It might be 5-4-3. I just know that's the right order.
Do we know who's up first?

Speaker 1 We are.

Speaker 1 We're not going to win this one. Wait, so you're first, then you guys? Then, yeah, then us.
All right, Zach, we're last. Why are you giving up on this one, Max? We're just not prepared.

Speaker 1 And when preparation is bad, you're not good. Yeah, I'm not bad.

Speaker 1 That's the one that's in every

Speaker 1 weight room, every football weight room

Speaker 1 across. Whatever that quote is.

Speaker 1 But yeah, our preparation is bad. Opportunity meet is bad.
Let's have a good a preparation, yeah. Let's have a good mountain rush more.
Okay, and no, there's no bad picks, no bad picks.

Speaker 1 No, not solders.

Speaker 1 We're not on chill week. Yeah, no, yeah, no, there's no, this is the start of chill week.
This is this is the start of chill week. Okay,

Speaker 1 uh,

Speaker 1 first pick is

Speaker 1 uh a public trip and fall. Okay, good pick.
Had it on there. All right, good, good, good, good, good, good, nice, nice.
Good pick. Public trip and fall is really good.
I think 1-1.

Speaker 1 Maybe not 1-1.

Speaker 1 Like, curb. Tripping over a curb.
It's worse. When you actually go onto the ground and people,

Speaker 1 there's like strangers that have to come over to you and be like, are you okay? Yep. Sucks.
Stairs. You see people telling their friends, like, that guy just fell.
Yeah, that guy just fell.

Speaker 1 What's the what's tripping upstairs? Might be the worst. Tripping upstairs is bad.
Upstairs sucks. Tripping on like a running treadmill.
Yeah. That's very good.
Black ice is always.

Speaker 1 But that black ice is gets kind of...

Speaker 1 When it's cold out and it's icy, you get a little bit of a pass.

Speaker 1 Tripping, like getting at the at the top of an escalator like just the little step the smallest step in the world uh tripping when you get out of a cab and and

Speaker 1 break your foot that's a good thing and then you can't do the dinger's only thing that's a bad one and then find out he was actually just walking you were never in a cab at all yeah yeah no that happens that that is honestly fine it happens

Speaker 1 uh tripping on the last step because you think there's another one oh that oh

Speaker 1 i like that feeling it gives you a little bit in the ball

Speaker 1 It's like a roller coaster.

Speaker 1 When you know that you're safe, it does have, it is a little bit of a cheap thrill. A little cheap.
You know how I know it's really embarrassing? Because when dogs trip, they get embarrassed too.

Speaker 1 Yeah. They have that same thing.
They look at you like, oh, fuck. Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 R1-1 is going to be

Speaker 1 waving at somebody. Who it turns out wasn't actually waving at you.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 1 We had this on the list as intercepting someone else's hello. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's brutal.
It's brutal. Brutal.

Speaker 1 Zach,

Speaker 1 what should we do? We have our whole board.

Speaker 1 We do have several options right now. What are you thinking? How are we feeling?

Speaker 1 I feel good about a 2-3 combo.

Speaker 1 And also the six is a really strong one that I think is just very...

Speaker 1 I want you to feel good about these.

Speaker 1 Three is good. So three is embarrassing.
Yeah. Three is pretty embarrassing.
Yeah, yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. Let's do it.
We'll start with that and then we'll figure it out.

Speaker 1 Our first one is

Speaker 1 when you

Speaker 1 let out a little bit of a fart thinking that it's not going to smell and then it just demolishes the room.

Speaker 1 And it's just the worst because you are like, everyone has those moments where you got a little too much.

Speaker 1 You just got to basically, it's almost like letting a little bit out of like a tire that's overinflated.

Speaker 1 Like, I'm not, I'm not going to really fart here, I'm just going to leak a little bit to give myself some comfort. And next thing you know, everyone's like, Holy shit, what the fuck is that smell?

Speaker 1 You're trying to get some breathing room, and then you also have to live with the fact that you know, if you let the rest out, it's gonna be worse.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and then sometimes a national reporter is sitting next to you, yes, as you're doing that, and then it becomes we're just gonna start talking about things that I do, then it becomes news, yes, yeah, yeah, it's a news story.

Speaker 1 Uh, okay, relatable. Our second pick is a simple one: It's just fucking up any type of handshake,

Speaker 1 whether it be handshake or dap or hug, and you go handshake. Just that entire exchange sucks really bad.
Yep, we had that too. Yeah.
Really, really bad. Especially if it's on camera.

Speaker 1 Especially if it's on camera. All right.
One next one.

Speaker 1 Calling your teacher mom. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I was going to go with that next. So interesting thing, Zach had never heard of this.
Really, I guess just didn't do it because I said it. He's like, what do you mean?

Speaker 1 I was like, you you don't remember. Like, in first grade, I called my teacher mom.
And that sucked. I never ripped one of those.
Do you ever rip bad when you do it? It's just embarrassing.

Speaker 1 It's very embarrassing. Were you homeschooled? No, just public school, right? Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 is she endearing about it when you say mom? Oh, I think it happens all the time. Yeah, I think the teacher is very understanding.
But as a kid, you're like, that's the biggest fuck up I could make.

Speaker 1 I got my mom. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Good pick.
Yeah, we had it. It was just interesting, Zach had never heard of it.
All right, you guys are coming back around. Yep.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go with staring at someone and they catch you.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 All right, creep. Yeah.
No, but if you're just like looking around a room and then someone sees you

Speaker 1 looking. Yep.
Well, are you staring at them or are you looking around the room?

Speaker 1 We had it. I didn't know.

Speaker 1 Making eye contact from afar with.

Speaker 1 Yeah, make. Awkwardly making eye contact with

Speaker 1 someone from afar. And you're staring at somebody and then they catch you staring at them.
All right, whatever. Is it more awkward if it's if it's a guy or a girl? What I wrote was it was

Speaker 1 it's like, have you ever gone up to a girl and you drop your bag and then accidentally you roll a duct tape in your rope and your knife falls out?

Speaker 1 It's kind of awkward. You act like you've never, this has never happened.

Speaker 1 It's kind of weird. If you're on a

Speaker 1 wait, hold on. First of all, you're talking to the guy who wears sunglasses all the time.
He can stare at anything.

Speaker 1 So he's good. He's life hacked life.
Correct.

Speaker 1 Like the

Speaker 1 A good pick. So the pick was making eye contact.
Whatever.

Speaker 1 Making eye contact with someone from afar, like down the hallway. And there's just 30 seconds in between being like, do I say hello right now? Oh, that's way different.
That's what that was.

Speaker 1 That's what. Yeah, no,

Speaker 1 I said we had bad preparation.

Speaker 1 We had bad preparation. I mean, you can have that for a completely different thing.
That's a totally different thing that is embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Whatever. That's an embarrassing.
What Memes said is a good pick.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, we had bad preparation.

Speaker 1 I read the first three words of that and didn't really continue.

Speaker 1 I started this with bad preparation. You're right.
Bad preparation and bad. Whatever.

Speaker 1 Now I'm in shambles.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to start ripping here.

Speaker 1 Go into the bathroom and you have a bad shake and a little pea stain. Good pick.
Okay. Had it.
peace good pick

Speaker 1 pft just never does any of these things over here i said i say good pick no i i i felt a tone

Speaker 1 there was no tone you're lashing out right yeah you are i know i'm yeah i'm next pick having a bad mountain rush more performance embarrassing

Speaker 1 i had your back with the kidnapping can't relate to that

Speaker 1 all right uh our next pick

Speaker 1 We're going to be we're going to go with calling somebody by the wrong name who you've known for way too long. Good one.
So we were having this debate.

Speaker 1 I think it's way, Zach and I were actually disagreeing. I think it's way worse when you call, when you're close to the name but wrong versus way off.
Yep.

Speaker 1 Like if someone, if someone I know called me Dave, I would be offended versus like if someone I know called me Paul, I'd be like, dude, that's not even close to my name. Whose name Paul? Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 But this was, this was, uh, this was Hank's big pick, and I think Hank might have had an explanation behind it. No, I mean, I do it all the time.

Speaker 1 Even just like me, you know, you meet people, we meet a lot of people once or twice. It's acquaintances.
And then you see them again and then they know your name and you don't know their name.

Speaker 1 I've gotten very good at like introducing, you know, managing that situation by introducing someone else. Someone else.

Speaker 1 But also like the one I was going to type is or if you're if you're talking to a girl at a bar and then like 45 minutes later, she's like, what's my name? Yeah. And then you just you just blank.

Speaker 1 I think more people should wear name tags.

Speaker 1 I've made all all the insurance wear name tags here.

Speaker 1 I think just everybody just in general out in public should have a name tag on the it's it's acquaintances because if I said your if I said your name wrong, it's like who obviously, you know, your brain's like I get my kids' names wrong.

Speaker 1 I call my kids all their other, you know what I mean? But if it's someone that you've met like two or three times, that's the spot where it sucks. And it sucks.

Speaker 1 Where it's like they should know and you know, you've met them before, you've talked to them. It's brutal.
It's almost worse if you find out. And they know your name.

Speaker 1 And you're like, I feel like such an asshole. If you find out that you got the name wrong, like after you're done hanging out with them.

Speaker 1 And then you think back of all the times you called them the wrong name in that hang. Yep.
Yep. Bad times.

Speaker 1 All right, Zach.

Speaker 1 I think we should go with 13. That was yours.
That was good. I think it's a strong one.
And I've been thinking about and laughing to myself about number seven.

Speaker 1 I think we just go for a home run that might not work. You guys want us to send one?

Speaker 1 All right. So go, you say 13.
I'll say seven.

Speaker 1 This is the good pick. Texting in the wrong group chat.
Yep. Yep.
That is just such a bad winning. F45 day one.
Oh, yep. Yeah, that was bad.
It's just,

Speaker 1 you can't get over it. You just feel like such.
And then you try to bury it or

Speaker 1 airplane mode. Yeah, try to

Speaker 1 think, oh, haha, I was actually talking about this. You're just screwed.

Speaker 1 Well, now they have the, like, which is almost even a bigger role of the dice, is the unsend because you don't know if they saw it or not. Yeah.
Yep. And you're like, do I unsend this?

Speaker 1 You just assume that's it. It's time, but you assume they saw it.
And then you're, it's even more awkward because it's clearly, you can't even play it off. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. Uh, this one is going to be, I, I don't know how it's going to look, but I, we have to be true to ourselves because this is the one we talked about the most, I would say, Zach, you and I.

Speaker 1 We got to keep it honest. We got to keep it honest because we were laughing about this one and we were just like, you can't, like, this is so embarrassing.
You can't do it.

Speaker 1 As a grown man

Speaker 1 wearing a bike helmet,

Speaker 1 I think it's so embarrassing. I like, I understand the safety.
I wear one.

Speaker 1 You just can't, you just look like a fucking fool and you look like an idiot, especially when you get off the bike and you're like, that second where you're walking without the bike.

Speaker 1 If you're on a, on a normal bike, yes. If you're, if they're, you know, if they're on their, like, the speed bikes and they're bike riders, like whatever.
Yeah. But if you're just like on a

Speaker 1 mountain bike, like

Speaker 1 going a mile down the street or the e-bikes, yeah, the city bikes. Yeah.
Yeah. I'm not talking about the Lance Armstrong's weekend warriors.

Speaker 1 I'm talking about just a grown regular man, like in a suit, in regular clothes, wearing a bike helmet. I think if you purchase a bike helmet and rent bikes, that's a very embarrassing situation.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You guys like that pic?

Speaker 1 All right. Yeah, we're just, I mean, I do wear them because I want to be safe, but every time I clip in, I'm like, this fucking looks ridiculous.
You have to, but there's no good way to do it.

Speaker 1 There's no good way to do it. Yeah.
And they try to make it like, oh, look at this cool bike helmet. And, you know, it just looks ridiculous.
You know what's really cool? Guardian cat. Safety.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Not having your brain splattered on the concrete that's kind of honestly though i've i've worn bike helmets that i would probably prefer my blink brain to be splattered all right uh hank i just highlighted what i think the last one should be let's go boys yep yeah do it i like it all right last one do it i like it coming fast coming really too fast that's true coming way too fast yeah because you there's no explanation for it you can't you can't pretend that it didn't happen no you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube no you can't pretend it was a good experience.

Speaker 1 No. No.
You can't unring that bell. Well, for you, it was.
Yeah, but like sometimes you're like, oh, yeah, like, you know, whatever. Like, but you liked it when it was.
You can fake yourself.

Speaker 1 Like, yeah, you know. You had some good moments too, right? Yeah.
Yeah. No.
No. When it's, yeah, no.
No. It's not fun.
Not fun at all. No.

Speaker 1 Especially when it happens when you're just like staring at a chick, like 50 feet away.

Speaker 1 And then she's like, you know, she's going to tell her friends and the cops. And next thing you know, you're coming to it.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, whatever.

Speaker 1 What'd you think about coming too fast?

Speaker 1 I

Speaker 1 can't relate. I don't want to talk about it.
Italian stars.

Speaker 1 We need to normalize it.

Speaker 1 This is the last pick of the draft here. No, it is from the evolutionary standpoint.
Yeah. It's a genetic advantage to come really fast.
Yeah. And get more chicks pregnant.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Last pick, just really bad pit stains. Ooh.

Speaker 1 Good one.

Speaker 1 I'm surprised

Speaker 1 zipper down wasn't picked. Zipper Down was on.
Camera light on your phone. Yeah.
That's

Speaker 1 fly down's a good one. Oh, fuck.

Speaker 1 Having your camera light on sucks. I also said phone.
This doesn't happen to me, but I feel embarrassment for other people. when your phone ringer goes off in a quiet room.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like at a wedding, if your phone ringer goes off, that's got to be the most embarrassing thing ever. Like your alarm goes off at a very weird time.
Yeah. You're setting an alarm for.

Speaker 1 Zach and I had a few that we wanted to just feel out what you guys thought. Okay.
Because

Speaker 1 it's kind of similar to the, we had almost like a

Speaker 1 as a grown man category where bike helmets was the strongest one. But the other ones we had in that category were

Speaker 1 just drinking from straws.

Speaker 1 Embarrassing. I like straws sometimes.
Okay. I do too, but it's a little embarrassing.
Eating a corn dog. I'll do theirs.
I do drink from straws more often in the privacy of my own. Correct.
Correct.

Speaker 1 I think drinking from straw, if it has the lid for the straw, it's fine. If you're drinking from a straw of like an open cup, that's embarrassing.
Fast food cups, always straws. Yeah.
Yeah. Like that.

Speaker 1 You have to have a straw. Yeah.
You have to. Trying to drink out of it without a straw is ridiculous.
Of course. Of course.
And then the other one that maybe will be called misogynistic. I don't know.

Speaker 1 I'm always just a little bit embarrassed as a grown man when I have to shake a woman's hand. I just, it feels weird.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 that's fair. Or like when, yeah, when you meet, when you're meeting guys and girls

Speaker 1 and you've never met the girl, it's like, I'm not hugging you, but like, I'm going to shake your hand.

Speaker 1 Like, this is weird. Like, we don't

Speaker 1 shake hands. I'm not talking about business setting.
I'm talking about like informal kind of setting. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 I always say, I always like, I also feel awkward about it, but I'll just be like, all right, nice, firm handshake. I'll say it like out loud because I don't have to.
Oh, that makes it way worse.

Speaker 1 No, it'll make you starry right in the eye. Shake your hand.
I do the same. That's what you're supposed to do when you shake someone's hand.

Speaker 1 A lot of times I'll do the handshake guy, handshake guy, and then just like a meek little hello to the woman. I think the staring is going to play.
I think

Speaker 1 if you get caught staring, like getting caught staring is a thing. Like, no, like,

Speaker 1 it sometimes you sometimes. Sometimes you're working out and like, yeah, there's just a really hot.

Speaker 1 I don't go to public gyms.

Speaker 1 Come on now. Oh, we had.

Speaker 1 Zach, go ahead. Zach, working out is pretty rough, too.
Yeah, running. As far as embarrassments go, running, running.
Just

Speaker 1 running. Grown man sprinting is embarrassing.
It's very embarrassing. It's going to be so embarrassing when we do this hot dog thing.
I've already thought about you guys watching me run. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. We had getting crossed up.
Yeah. In basketball.
Oh, Pug. We had a.

Speaker 1 Oh, Pug. Oh, Pug.
Pug did get crossed up. When you get crossed up and it's it's on tape.

Speaker 1 We had, I forgot we should have done this one. I think that it's getting hit in the head with a ball, no matter how it happens, is always embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Like, I'm saying you could be playing catch, it hits you in the head. That's very embarrassing.

Speaker 1 But even when we're playing hoops out here and like everyone's shooting around and you're not even looking and the ball hits you in the back of the head, you're embarrassed.

Speaker 1 I think the person who's shooting is more embarrassed. Oh, never.
Oh, I, I feel

Speaker 1 horrendous. No.
You're, you're a a bad guy. No, you're not.

Speaker 1 No, you're a bad shooter. What? If you just like brick it? No.

Speaker 1 But sometimes it's not even that. Like, even if you like hit the side of the rim, you miss it.
I always feel bad. You're a bad shooter.
What? You've never missed a shot? I don't miss that badly.

Speaker 1 If you can literally hit it off of the side of the rim and it can bounce out. That's just the bounce of the ball, baby.
Yeah, but then you still feel bad.

Speaker 1 I think you're missing the whole rim and then you should feel bad. If I missed the whole rim, I'd feel bad.
Like you?

Speaker 1 You are not.

Speaker 1 You're acting like you're fucking Steph Curry out.

Speaker 1 I'm not shooting airballs and hitting people in the head. I never said airballs.
I think that's what's happening. This is

Speaker 1 crazy deflection.

Speaker 1 Do you feel embarrassed

Speaker 1 when you shoot a real shot that has a real bounce? And you hit someone in the head? I feel bad. No, no.
But I feel bad. I shouldn't have been standing there.

Speaker 1 If I get hit,

Speaker 1 I feel embarrassed. I think you got to have your head on a swivel.
You guys are me. If it's embarrassing.
No, you're a bad ball. You're a shooter.
Airball bat. I don't.
Yes, I never said airball.

Speaker 1 But that's really what we're talking about. I agree.
Airball bat. You are just creating a scenario I never said.
Because it doesn't make sense when you're shooting around.

Speaker 1 If you have a regular shot that hits the rim and hits someone in the head, I don't feel... I'm not like...
I still feel that he's a bad person. Oh, my God.
I'm embarrassed for that.

Speaker 1 What if you swish it and it hits their head?

Speaker 1 I would still feel bad. That's crazy.
Not me. That's crazy.
It's like... You're standing under the hoop.
Yeah, I feel good. Yeah, I guess.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 If I had a wild shot that was like not even close, it hit someone in the head, I would feel bad. I guess.
it's you're still like hitting someone in the head. I don't, I don't know.

Speaker 1 Maybe it's maybe embarrassed is the wrong word. It's more like

Speaker 1 all right. What else we got? Uh, awkwardly walking faster than the person in front of you on the sidewalk, and then you have to like speed up to pass them.
Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Or if it's a girl and you have to go, you know,

Speaker 1 the street

Speaker 1 eight miles. Or say on your left.
Yeah. That's what it looks like.
Yeah. Yeah.
On your left. That's great.

Speaker 1 Got to let them know that you're there. You don't want to, you don't want to surprise them.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, or the face-to-face,

Speaker 1 you go one-way, hallway. I am an all-time bad guy at that.
Yeah. I don't know what it is about me, but

Speaker 1 I hit on such a high percentage of those where I go the same way, same way.

Speaker 1 I got to switch something up. I had

Speaker 1 swinging and missing in the slow pitch softball game. Yep.
Yep. We had that.
That's so bad. And also on the T.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's bad. I wouldn't know.

Speaker 1 Beast.

Speaker 1 I didn't say it was you.

Speaker 1 I didn't say it was you. Forgetting a wedge a few holes back.

Speaker 1 No. That's

Speaker 1 butt crack.

Speaker 1 Is that the whole pic? Butt crack? Max's butt crack.

Speaker 1 I thought about it, but then, because that's not even true anymore. Like, I don't even get embarrassed about it.
It's just, I used to get very embarrassed about it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 What about my fucking asshole?

Speaker 1 What about saying see you later? And then you guys both go in the same direction. Oh, brutal.
That's more awkward, I think, than embarrassing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Or walking the wrong direction and having to realize you have to turn around and like in front of people. Or, like, have a good flight.
Thanks, you too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You're just checking the thing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I had thinking Caleb Williams is entering the best situation a rookie quarterback has ever had. That's an embarrassing moment.
Pretty embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Car breaking down, causing the entire city of Chicago to

Speaker 1 pretty embarrassing. I wouldn't call that a little embarrassing moment.
Yeah, that's a big embarrassing moment. Yeah, big embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Nick had forgetting your keys in your apartment.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like getting down to your car. Being like, oh, fuck.
Yeah. My keys are upstairs.
But that doesn't really. That's not a thing.
Yeah, Peggy talked me off that one. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I thought that was a good one.

Speaker 1 You know what's a good one?

Speaker 1 I'm not saying it's you, but like

Speaker 1 once or twice a year, sleeping until like 1 p.m. and having all your friends think you're dead.
That's embarrassing. That's super embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Probably had fun, though. What about getting demoted? Once a year.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What about getting demoted as your fantasy team team owner? Oh, yeah. It's pretty embarrassing.
Just getting demoted. Yeah.
Yeah. Demoted.
Yeah. Yeah.
Just fire you. Fire you.

Speaker 1 I'm like, what are you doing? Getting pipped. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Food stuck in your teeth.

Speaker 1 Sneeze fart. Sneeze fart.
Sneeze fart. Oh, Zach, you had a good one.
Wearing a sticker on your hat for an entire day and no one telling you. The fast food one, Zach.

Speaker 1 Embarrassing. You know, like...

Speaker 1 Fast casual workers, if they know your order, or like if the gas station employee knows like what cigarettes you're there to get, or like, oh, hey, good to see you again.

Speaker 1 Darren, it's like, it's always bad. Yeah.
Yeah. Them having it.
What other ones did you have, Zach?

Speaker 1 Card declining at like the gas station. You're buying like a Danish or soda.
That's always kind of rough.

Speaker 1 One time I went into a gas station in college, and the guy behind the counter just looked at me and said, Let me guess, Magnums. Oh, and it was like the coolest I've ever felt in my life.

Speaker 1 That's pretty good. I don't know.
I just wanted to tell that story. Doesn't really have anything to do with what we're talking about.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Were you getting Magnums? No. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 I think I was getting

Speaker 1 melatonin.

Speaker 1 That guy probably said that to every guy that walked in. Yeah, probably said it like 20 times.

Speaker 1 I still think about it. It was like 10 years ago.

Speaker 1 The other grown man, as a grown man, non-airport

Speaker 1 situation, but as a grown man, just wearing a backpack. I think that's kind of embarrassing.
I do it. And I'm embarrassed.
I'm embarrassed by it.

Speaker 1 One other one like that that makes no sense, but makes sense to me is

Speaker 1 holding an umbrella. Yep.
Yep. Even though, like, it's obviously way better than being wet.
or something about holding an umbrella that

Speaker 1 sucks. Correct.
Correct. Using sunscreen.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I also had travel travel related when you get on a flight and all the overhead storage is full, so you have to go like four rows back to put your bag up.

Speaker 1 And then when you get off, having to basically hold everyone up to be like, can I get my bag?

Speaker 1 I hate that moment. I fucking hate that.
Yeah, it's pretty bad. It's so, you just hope that someone's going to help you and grab it for you.
Asking someone to put sunscreen on your back oh

Speaker 1 that that's that can be tough just putting on sunscreen yeah yeah it's embarrassing especially when you if if you like have to ask one of your your friends to put boys yeah one of your boys we should do that for chill week oil anyone can ask me i'll i'll do it oiled up i won't wear it on sunscreen saying i love you by mistake to somebody yep zach you had that as well yeah that you don't actually love yeah or you don't love yet uh

Speaker 1 Getting out of a pool without using the stairs, I just always am this is more of a personal. I had a fight.

Speaker 1 I talked about that. I was at a pool two days ago, and I was like, I have one problem with my pool here.
There's no steps. You have to use the ladder.

Speaker 1 The ladder sucks. I did it.
I did it. There's no good angles for a big guy coming in or out of a ladder.

Speaker 1 I did it once over vacation, and then for the rest of vacation, I just put a chair with a towel next to the stairs. So I would just walk up the stairs and grab a towel.

Speaker 1 And mind you, this is in front of my family, but I'm still embarrassed.

Speaker 1 They don't need to see this. Chicago pools are also so packed all the time.
That's insane. Yeah, too many people.
Too many people. Tying your shoes? Yes.

Speaker 1 Tying your shoes is embarrassing. It is embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Getting an ultrasound on your testicles from a stranger. Oh, yeah.
That's pretty embarrassing. That is.
That is very embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Not getting a wave back.

Speaker 1 Zach also had falling in the shower.

Speaker 1 How often does that happen? So pretty embarrassing. Like going down wet.

Speaker 1 There's nothing worse. Going on a DL.
Yeah. After falling on the shower.
How often do you fall in the shower?

Speaker 1 Not often at all, but a couple of times it's happened. I'm just like, this is the worst day ever.
Doesn't go down hard. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Dangerous. Oh, one that we missed.

Speaker 1 The uh, I don't know if this happens to you guys, but the when you're just like agreeing with someone and you're having conversations and be like, oh, you've seen this show, and then you say yes.

Speaker 1 And then they're like, oh, what was your favorite part or something? They ask you to. And you're just like, fuck.
Getting caught in a white lie. Yeah, like the most innocuous.

Speaker 1 You're just trying to get out of the conversation. Yep.
You're just agreeing, and then you're just fucked.

Speaker 1 Or similar, when you can't hear someone, you ask them to repeat themselves multiple times. That sucks.

Speaker 1 Sucks. Zach, what other ones did you have? I got an accidental Instagram mic.
Yep. Okay.
Yeah, that's

Speaker 1 kind of rough.

Speaker 1 It could happen to anyone. Perfect booties.

Speaker 1 LeBron. He did that.
That was bad too, just getting caught in

Speaker 1 too many ass pigs on Instagram. Like, oh, that's always bad.
You got to flood the zone. Yeah.
What was that? What was that?

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 Oh. This is a podcast.
This is a podcast, means.

Speaker 1 He's just pointing.

Speaker 1 You'll have to guess who he was pointing at. Yeah.
Having shit in a stranger's house. It's terrible.
Scott Boris is off the shit. I had shitting on a plane.
Yeah, I don't do it.

Speaker 1 But there has been a moment where it was an emergency. Yeah.
And it's not good. Pushing on a pull door.
Oh, yeah. Hank had that.
Sucks. Sucks.
You just feel like such a fucking idiot.

Speaker 1 The doors here are like hard.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 I guess you were.

Speaker 1 The conference room doors here. I get it wrong every time.

Speaker 1 Actually, I do that. I get my own office door wrong.
So yeah, I know what you're saying. It sucks.

Speaker 1 All right. Any other ones? Good Mount Rushmore.
Really good Mount Rushmore. Great job, Max.
Zach, did you have any other ones?

Speaker 1 You guys ever get food as a group and then you're at the table and you have similar items, but maybe like you're going no no onion and I went like no lettuce, and then you take a bite of the wrong one before like you're the guy who ate the other guy's order on accident, yeah, and you ate it too fast.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I've done that before, and I was like, oh, now there's no going back here. Yeah, have you guys ever done this one?

Speaker 1 You order dinner, like your main dinner from one restaurant, and then you order a side of something else that you like from a different restaurant, and then both the delivery guys show up at the same time at your door, and they get confused, yep, and then they look at each other like, oh, this guy's just really unhealthy.

Speaker 1 Yep, yep,

Speaker 1 it's tough, yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's bad. Also, just minor embarrassment when you're

Speaker 1 like when you

Speaker 1 don't see someone in like a crosswalk or something. It's like, when it's basically your fault.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like anything on the road that's clearly your fault, you're just sitting there like, yeah, that's my bad. You just got to take it.
Like, whoops. You got to own it.
Sorry about that.

Speaker 1 Okay. Good job, guys.
Good Mount Rushmore. I like it, Hank.
Good work. Good work.

Speaker 1 Staring's going to play.

Speaker 1 We'll see. What's the the actual phrasing it's going to be? I don't know.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Someone catches at you staring at them across the room. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Getting caught staring at someone, though, probably. Okay.

Speaker 1 Are we good at that? You act like everyone. You could be like looking at someone's shirt, and then they'll be like, are you staring at me? And then it's like, fuck, that person thing.

Speaker 1 I'll be like, you're wearing a cool shirt.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 What did you say?

Speaker 1 No, no, I was going to make a joke.

Speaker 1 You act like this has never happened.

Speaker 1 What type of shirt? I don't know. Sometimes shirts have like

Speaker 1 no, someone's shirts have like sayings on them. Is it a tight shirt?

Speaker 1 Shirts have words. You can be reading something.
I'm saying, I'm talking about a guy. Oh,

Speaker 1 a guy that was staring against you. You guys are the ones who are making this sexual.

Speaker 1 I was making it just about murder. Murder? What?

Speaker 1 You are the one who wears sunglasses every single day of your life. I think he had already made that.
I know. Yeah.
So, like,

Speaker 1 this is this is. Your podcast didn't just skip backwards.
You staring at me, Max?

Speaker 1 Yes. I'm having a conversation.
That must be very embarrassed.

Speaker 1 That's not. You Italian?

Speaker 1 PFT. Have you ever.

Speaker 1 How did you do in Mount Rushmore last year? How were your picks? I did not come in last. Thanks for asking.

Speaker 1 I came in last and I did the punishment. Did you come in first? I didn't come in first.
No.

Speaker 1 I did.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 So maybe

Speaker 1 we'll see who wins this poll. That's the beauty of the poll.
Yeah. Yeah.
And most of the time, I fucking win.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 I like them apples.

Speaker 1 I do think steerings go to play. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. But it was just funny because the thing that memes said was way better.
Yeah, no,

Speaker 1 I read the first.

Speaker 1 Because when you see someone 50 feet away and you're like, have to do the entire walk up. Yeah, that.
That sucks. Did you think about putting meatballs on the list?

Speaker 1 When you don't have enough meatballs, meatballs aren't big enough. Yeah.
No. When Nona's meatballs are cold.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Let's do our last ad and then we'll finish up the show, talk a little vacation, and

Speaker 1 do our numbers.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Oh, all the boys are filing in. How is everyone? Hank, I'm really just want to know.
I really have two questions about vacation. One is, how'd you golf?

Speaker 1 And two, Zach, how was your first time going back to your family after being a public figure? So whoever wants to go first? I got off pretty well. I had a good balance.

Speaker 1 I got to see, you know, got to see some family, hung out with my nieces, went and saw my grandpa, mom, dad, went fishing, spent some, you know, spent some time on the boat.

Speaker 1 It's got a pretty cool fish on the ocean. Yeah, it was a nice fish.
A couple stripers? You're really good at catching.

Speaker 1 I want to catch tuna.

Speaker 1 I've learned how hard it is to catch a tuna, and it's on my big board. Yeah.
What was the fish that those guys in Boston saw that was like, holy fuck, dude, look at this fucking thing.

Speaker 1 You remember those masculines? Yeah. It might have been a shock.
Was that a wicked? Was that a shock? It was a blue lobster. Oh, no, it was

Speaker 1 a sunfish. Might have been a sunfish.
Yeah, those things are awesome. But yeah, Hank, I saw the picture of you holding up your catch.
It looked awesome. Looks sick.

Speaker 1 Fishing's fun.

Speaker 1 I used to give my friends a lot of heat because I was like, I don't understand it. But after we did that video

Speaker 1 for Barcelona Doors, I got the itch. Yeah, when is that coming out? I don't know.
July?

Speaker 1 Probably soon. We're in July.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so sometime this month. How's Fanny Woodhead looking? Vanny Woodhead's good.
Big Cat needs to send send some stuff to me. What do I have to do?

Speaker 1 You know exactly what you need to do. I know.
I can send it. I'll send it to you again.
I will remind you again. No, you need to send it to me when I have a pen and paper.

Speaker 1 And a passport and some proof of

Speaker 1 it. But

Speaker 1 I should have just bought the other one that I saw online that looked exactly like Vanny. You guys can keep asking me.
And they answer. Do you remember the one I sent?

Speaker 1 That was literally a clone of Vanny. It looks so good.
It's a clean Vanny.

Speaker 1 I'm so sick of this. You need to send like two pictures.
But does it actually work? I don't know.

Speaker 1 That's the thing: you haven't done it. Shout out to Mike.
Yes, but there's still holes in the fucking van. You haven't seen the van.
But you just. My guy, Mike, has been doing work on the van.

Speaker 1 I'm not disparaging Mike. Hank, you literally said it might work, and then you changed your mind and said, yes, definitely.
Well, yeah.

Speaker 1 Once Big Cat sends the paperwork, we're going to find out.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 All right, then I'll do the paperwork. Definitely, we're going to find out.
Golf, well, cost golf with Big Cat.

Speaker 1 Zach, remind me to do the paperwork when we come back to it. Massachusetts, Chicago.
It's great. Okay.
Yeah, golf in Michigan was fun. A lot of fun.
Had a good time. We had a good time.

Speaker 1 I love Michigan.

Speaker 1 I'm a pure Michiganist. Yeah, too.

Speaker 1 It's the blueberries up there. Beautiful.
Nice blues.

Speaker 1 Zach, answer my question. Yes, sir.

Speaker 1 This was your first time going back home after becoming a public figure. What was the reception like? This was my first time going home since moving up here.

Speaker 1 The reception was great. You know, spending spending a lot of time with my family was nice.
You know,

Speaker 1 you take time for granted sometimes, and then you step away and come back to it, and it's like, oh my God, I missed this so much. This was lovely.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. You're talking about the show or going home? Oh, I was talking about seeing my parents again.
Oh, okay. Yeah.
But did it make you feel like I want to just come back?

Speaker 1 Wait, what did you say?

Speaker 1 Did you feel like, why don't I just move back to Florida? Oh, no, I didn't do that. But

Speaker 1 no, I didn't think that.

Speaker 1 yeah, they call it homesick sometimes. Everybody gets a little homesick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was nice to cure the homesickness a little.
You have a home-cooked meal? I did.

Speaker 1 My mom made several home-cooked meals. I ate way too much.
I went into the week dieting, left the week, never dieting, even a little bit.

Speaker 1 July 4th. Yeah, that's a crazy thing.
What was the best meal that she cooked? The best meal that she cooked would probably have to be, we did a little baked chicken quarters,

Speaker 1 string beans, mac and cheese. Nice.
Love that.

Speaker 1 And so your mom listens to the the show.

Speaker 1 My mom does consume a lot of the shows now. She does.
She never did, but now she does. And did she have any questions or anything?

Speaker 1 She was curious what we were ranking the other day. Okay.
Letter of M's. She's like, what are you talking about M's for? And then it did come up at dinner.
She's like, so Zach, what's a dinger?

Speaker 1 Okay. So just stuff like that, where she's trying.

Speaker 1 But she's overconsuming. What did you think about Dungeons and Dragons?

Speaker 1 She let me know that I did terrible on the costumes.

Speaker 1 I think her quote was, yeah, you fucked that up. Oh, I love it.
It's okay. We're working on that.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Could be a redempt, if you guys allow. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Big time redempt.
Everyone else had a good week? I had a good week. Yeah.
I took a bunch of back shots.

Speaker 1 Acupuncture. Nice.

Speaker 1 That's what they call it. I have a confession to make that I'm also not proud of.

Speaker 1 I played a lot of pickleball over the week. Oh.
Okay.

Speaker 1 You get roped into that? No.

Speaker 1 It was just with the boys. McCarthy, Tom Lay.

Speaker 1 Pickleball guys at work. It was funny.
Pickleball is very fun to play. It's kind of embarrassing to say you play it.
Yes, exactly. But it is fun when you're actually playing it.

Speaker 1 It's the worst sport in the world to watch. Yeah, I just don't like how there's a small group of rich people that are telling America, like, you watch pickleball now on TV.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's a thing that we're going to do.

Speaker 1 But it is, when you actually play pickleball, it is fun. I kind of went into it reluctantly.
They needed a fourth, and McCarthy was like, hey, come play some pickleball. And I was like, okay, I'll.

Speaker 1 But then by the end of it, we were like, we didn't want to stop.

Speaker 1 We rented a court for an hour and we extended it.

Speaker 1 You have to try. You don't have to be that athletic.
You don't have to, like, you know, your body, you're not going to be like dead tired after playing pickleball. No.

Speaker 1 But it still makes you feel like you did something, like you're doing something. Did I try? I swear.
I played it like twice and I hated it both times.

Speaker 1 It's not bad to play, but the whole act of like getting the racket, reserving the court. I didn't do any of that.
Driving to the pickleball court is embarrassing.

Speaker 1 I've also never done it, but I feel like it's a good couples. It can be, you know, co-ed.

Speaker 1 It's not that much of a skill gap.

Speaker 1 If we're talking about athletics, there was a moment that I'm maybe not super proud of, but my kids were playing on the trampoline in the house I rented, and I lowered the hoop to eight and a half and just fucking yammed for like 30 minutes.

Speaker 1 That's like, that's awesome. But just wasn't watching my kids.
Like, trampolines are kind kind of dangerous. Oh, I was just having a yam session.

Speaker 1 I thought you were talking about like the basketball pool. No, there's a court and then a trampoline next to it.
And they were in the trampoline. And I was supposed to be watching them.

Speaker 1 And I was just fucking throwing down. But you should have seen some of the dunks I was throwing down, dude.
It felt so awesome.

Speaker 1 I had the boys from Hard Factor came up, stayed with me, and then Pug came over on the 4th of July. Pug is a big cigar guy.
So Pug brought, how many cigars did you bring out, Paul?

Speaker 1 I didn't know that about you, Paul. He brought like seven or eight.
He hit up the group show. He was like, I'm bringing cigars.
And I was like, oh, hell yeah. I'm excited about that.

Speaker 1 You ever pull a Clinton?

Speaker 1 I don't know. What does that mean? You put a cigar in a pussy?

Speaker 1 No. Okay.
The cigars were good, though. The people enjoyed the cigars.
Cigars rocked. It was a good time.

Speaker 1 I love cigars. NASCAR recap, Pug.
I love cigars. NASCAR was awesome.
The 99 driver did not do great, which was tough, but was a good time, good vibes. I might be a NASCAR guy now.

Speaker 1 Love they did the street race this year. It wasn't rained out.
Yeah, I saw the clouds. I was like, oh, yep.
I was thinking it comes. It started to downpour like right after the race ended.
Oh, really?

Speaker 1 Value timing. Hell yes.
Pug.

Speaker 1 All right, everyone else? Memes, you had a good... No, you were sick.

Speaker 1 Got sick. Niece coughed right in my mouth.
That was it. That was it.
That's all she really knew. But got caught up on the office.
So

Speaker 1 my work. Wait, what? You got caught up on the office?

Speaker 1 Re-caught back up. Re-caught back up.
Get on me going again. I'm like, meme, me, me.
Meme, me, me. Oh, so many memes.

Speaker 1 And see the all-time gift show, right? Yeah. Did you make any?

Speaker 1 Like, did you, did you actually mentally? Were you watching? Were you like, all right, this is a meme? Oh, you found new ones? Yeah, you find new ones. What's the best one you found?

Speaker 1 There's a bunch in season six.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Follow the part of my take count.
Okay. They will be posted.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'm so excited for this. They're real.
You just

Speaker 1 reloaded the clip. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I've got like three years worth. They're there.
Didn't we do that? I feel like maybe the first year part of my take, we got really high on the RV. And then we drove

Speaker 1 SpongeBob watching SpongeBob, trying to find new SpongeBob memes to use. Yeah.
That was on the way to Atlanta. Atlanta.

Speaker 1 It was with us,

Speaker 1 Kate, and Roan.

Speaker 1 Rob did not like us smoking on the bus. Or watching SpongeBob.
Or watching ran away. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I got so high that Larry, the bus driver, like put me into a mental crisis. Because he had a conversation with me.
I was so high. I had a nervous breakdown, had to go back to my hotel room.

Speaker 1 He'll do that.

Speaker 1 Numbers. Three.
Fuck.

Speaker 1 33. I got to say, it was so nice going away for a week and knowing that we had already taped all the numbers so there was no chance you could get it.
Like, it felt good.

Speaker 1 What do you say, Max? I mean, that's never. Are you worried about him ever getting it? That's kind of what you're alluding to.
That's true. That's true.

Speaker 1 Three, what'd you say? 33.

Speaker 1 21.

Speaker 1 Ooh,

Speaker 1 he almost said 99. He was looking at Shane.
What? That's Shane's number.

Speaker 1 Right in Shane's face.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go 73.

Speaker 1 99 Pug.

Speaker 1 6.

Speaker 1 16.

Speaker 1 21 LT Jet.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 85 Gates. Oh,

Speaker 1 okay.

Speaker 1 We're off to Tahoe on Monday, so we'll have some content coming up. We're going to do a couple videos, but now we're going to figure out how to eat a hot dog and run on.

Speaker 1 Also, I'm excited. Do we have a drone? Are we bringing a drone? Yeah.
Should we also have a huge drug? Oh, the drone shot of us running 100 yards is going to be awesome.

Speaker 1 Should we be wearing a hot dog outfit? We could. I think ideally.

Speaker 1 Zach, can you get on that?

Speaker 1 Zach, that's literally just finding a hot dog outfit. One, or we each need we need to.
No, we can trade it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. It's going to be so smelly.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Wait, we're just going to skip one.
It's disgusting. Yeah.
Just want to go first. It's 100 yards.
Yeah, but meters. Whatever.
It's going to be hot.

Speaker 1 Someone's going to pee. How much?

Speaker 1 How disgusting?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you're excited. How disgusting could you make a hot dog thing?

Speaker 1 do damage and there's and you're gonna be eating a hot dog, too? Yeah, the hot dog smell is gonna get in there, Zach. How would you say you run?

Speaker 1 Poorly, okay.

Speaker 1 I expected that.

Speaker 1 All right, let's say their number again, Ray. 36.
33. 73.
12.

Speaker 1 16.

Speaker 1 85.
