Starting point is 00:01:35 Yeah. I don't even know where we are, dude. You can't, you can't. I don't know what day it is. I don't know what city I'm in. It is like we were getting two hours of sleep, maybe on the bus. All the other boys are sleeping like it's the best sleep they've ever had in their life. You made a good point.
Starting point is 00:01:51 You get home and you sleep so well. That's where I was. I was just like in a, I think my alarm went off nine times. I was setting the modern record for snoozes in the morning. Yeah. And finally I was like, oh wait, they're up there today. Yeah. We typically film it on the road, but we thought we had the open final round and World Cup final.
Starting point is 00:02:09 final. We just thought, hey, we got to at least wait until those are over. Too juicy. Not to talk about it. Hit the sports block. Yeah. So we came in, you know, it's a, I don't even know what time it is, but it's early. But we're still on the road. We got two weekends left. Tickets are still available. Dudeperfect.com slash tour. Come out and see us. We're in the Midwest this week, and then on the East Coast, the week after. And our back to school merch just dropped, dudeperfect. dot store. Go get geared up for back to school. And yes, if you want one of these almost athlete shirts, well, you're going to have to keep waiting because they're only for me and Sparks right now. But we're just trying out some merch for you guys. We're trying to figure out
Starting point is 00:02:50 what we like and then what other people like. And then we'll drop some. So we're preheating the oven. We're preheating the oven. We're preheating the oven, dude. I like it, man. I'm going to get you got to get me one of those. But what do we got today, Sparks? Yeah, coming up on today's episode. We came in early in the morning, as you said, to talk a little sport because there was some sport this weekend. We have a new World Cup champion. We're going to hit that from all angles. Plus, we're going to chat with the Savannah Banana Great.
Starting point is 00:03:12 The longest tenured Bill Leroy, he's awesome. But first, let's catch up on tour and share some exclusive footage for you guys. Whoa, we have exclusive footage. I love that. We played the Savannah Bananas, a four-game set. Yeah. And the dudes were hot the first three days, man. I mean, we were firing on all cylinders.
Starting point is 00:03:33 The dude's best game, go-kart soccer. We actually dropped one during the, took an L during our three game win. But hey, we still got it done in Game 7. But the last night, Dude Perfect's biggest show ever, I think the lights hit us square in the face. We got down 3-1 in that game. Oh, yeah, I remember.
Starting point is 00:03:54 And I thought we were about to end in five there in front of 13,000 people. But boy, oh, boy, did we rally back to Game 7? Lost a heartbreaker, but the boys deserved it from the bananas. They played fantastic. And those dudes are, have ever met? Well-rounded individuals for sure. They can dance. Yeah, they can out-dance us for sure. I don't know if they can kick a soccer ball, but they can dance. They do a lot of things well.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Dancing definitely one of them. But you're right, this group was so nice that we all caught ourselves that final night, even in front of 14-chared for them a little bit. We took the L, but it was all smiles, high-fives and hugs. Really good dudes. I was glad to see them get one. What's the record now on tour? Nine and three, if my numbers are right? Yeah, yeah. The Good Good and Insane Chain and Zach King Squad beat us twice. We tied that two and two. So yeah, we've lost three out of 12 shows, yeah. I don't want to back end one city and invite them back out because that two-two series
Starting point is 00:04:49 deadlock. Upcoming, we got another creators like squad got Insane Shane coming back. We got Brody Smith. We got That'll Work who won the Trickshot World Championship a couple years ago. About that action. Got Trickshot Queen coming out. Genabandy. Who am I missing?
Starting point is 00:05:07 Oh, Hewlett Brothers. Mark Rober? That's the following week. So we got a good squad coming up in the Midwest. And then that final week, we got Harlem Globetrotters coming back out and the creator squad with Mark Rober, Zach King, and St. Shane. And I've noticed that early before we get into the weekend, you all have an extreme advantage by already kind of being familiarized with the games. And we're taking it to people early. But by the end of the weekend, they get pretty dialed in with the games.
Starting point is 00:05:34 And it gets pretty crazy. I will say this. You got any favorite shows that you, that stick out to you? In terms of cities? I mean. Or just like, you know, like the epic battles or whatever. Yeah. I mean, Tennessee's going to be tough to top.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Both of them? Both of them. And Knoxville. Yeah, Knoxville was our biggest show. Sometimes the big crowds, you know, are, it's, they don't feel as loud. Yeah, yeah, sure. But man, the Knoxville crowd. Routy bunch.
Starting point is 00:06:01 They were kids running around with tarps off. And they were hot. And that what a, what a basketball arena. Yeah, they do it right. I like these new state of the art stack jobs. That's the way people need to go. Because it was loud in there, man. But boy, the Knoxville crowd just, I'd take my ears out.
Starting point is 00:06:19 It was so loud. It was buzzing. It was buzzing. But hey, all the feedback has been awesome regarding the squad games tour. I feel like the fans have really shown out. They feed us life when we need it most. We did have some sport. We did.
Starting point is 00:06:30 It was a great weekend, dude. Have a new World Cup winner. So let's get into it. this segment brought to you by Facebook find more than what you're looking for by the way my suggested friends yesterday Garrett and Kristen Hilbert yeah we have you should probably friend it up yeah we should we have a do we have a dual uh Facebook um yeah but even though it's dual there's definitely a ringleader who's who's the who's the captain of that account uh oh yeah uh me Spain yeah whoa dude we have a winner of the world cup and uh boy was it a tactical master class it was that's a proper way to put it
Starting point is 00:07:04 a tactical masterclass. We have the stats in front of us here. I mean, name a stat that Spain didn't just completely dominate. They dominated, dude. We got to go to the semifinal Spain versus France, and they did the same thing versus France. That backline for Spain is just so hard to break down. I thought the backline for Argentina was also been very solid,
Starting point is 00:07:27 and they held their own. And Martinez, man, what a guy. That guy kept them in it from, I mean, he gave them life and kept giving him life. but I did want Spain to win I did too I just didn't want the repeat champion Cody was really
Starting point is 00:07:43 wanting Argentina Yeah for Messi to get his second I don't think it really mattered He already won one He got to the final When he was however old he is now And how long can Argentina Just survive by the hair
Starting point is 00:07:55 On their chin chin chin You know They were surviving by their coat tails Barely eventually They were going to run into something like this So you credit the manager In this situation? Yeah dude
Starting point is 00:08:04 And he also came up through the system. Coached like the U-19s, the U-20s. And he won with all of them. That's an advantage. So that was pretty awesome. Luis de la Fuente. Yeah, being the oldest manager to win the World Cup. 14-0-1 is the team's manager.
Starting point is 00:08:21 That's pretty good. Yeah, I mean, that guy is he's going to have a statue built in Spain, no doubt. What do you think it means for Spain for winning this thing? Or what does it mean to the world that Spain won? It's kind of cool to me that Spain won because now, The champion is going to be the host next World Cup. Spain, Spain, Portugal, and Morocco are hosting the World Cup in 2030. So that's kind of cool.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Maybe they can do like a big ceremony of, you know. It is cool. Do you want to go? I know it's a long time ahead. Oh, my gosh. But I would love to go. That one would be fun. I would love to go to a couple games over there.
Starting point is 00:08:56 So yeah, McDonald's, if you're going to, you know, sponsor another one. Hit your boy up, dude. Yeah. And I would eat nothing but McDonald's if you found a way. there in 2030 the whole time we're there pending McDonald's is still a thing which i think definitely will still be a thing 20 30 i would be shocked if not their brand has longevity how did your prediction shake out that's a great question i look like um yeah i don't really want to talk about my prediction we both had france beating spain and i had england beating argentina did you have and you
Starting point is 00:09:23 had england beating argentina yeah we were both we doubled down and we were both wrong uh but we predicted the semifinal i mean the third place game yeah where do we stand on that we talked about it in the dressing room. Third place game, is it time for that thing to go? They clearly didn't care about a third place game. I mean, they just sent everyone 10 goals. 10 goal outburst. I mean, if you're at that game, what a game to be at.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Sure. That's what like people who aren't football or soccer fans, however you want to call it. That's what they expect soccer to be. Yeah, the 10 goal outburst. Yeah, that's fun, man. We need more of that in the actual tournament. And Mbapé got the golden boot and the World Cup record, which I don't think anybody will pass. So does Mbapé join the goat conversation with Rinaldo Messi?
Starting point is 00:10:11 I think he definitely has the opportunity. Like over the next eight years, he could really submit himself. I mean, of course, a lot of that's pending health, pending that France make it, make it. You never know over there in UEFA. You know, the Italians can't seem to even make the tournament. It's just how does Real Madrid not win literally everything? They have Jude and Mbapé. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:33 And there's talks of Pops. Possibly Olise going there too. Feels unfair. Dude, but yeah, I'm pretty sure Barcelona took it last year, didn't they? Yeah. And plus, you've always brought it up. The league they play in, too, doesn't provide too much.
Starting point is 00:10:48 A lot of people disagree with me on this, but you know what? I'm just going to go throw it to a guy who played in both, and Michael Owen, actually. So you guys don't have to agree with me. You can bash me for saying La Liga is the lesser league. How about a great who's played in both of them? you can go bash him if you want
Starting point is 00:11:04 but he said the harder league Premier League yeah just it is the 20th team in Premier League it's the depth they could challenge for top 10 in in La Liga it just it just is now the top of La Liga 100% is arguably better
Starting point is 00:11:21 than EPL but you're Brittenford away when they're 15th on the table is just hits a little different yeah dude it's like what American SEC football is versus the big 12 And the Big 12 will always be like, ours is just as good. It's like, dude, no, week in and week out,
Starting point is 00:11:38 you guys are not grinding like the SEC schedule. And it shows in the Champions League. It shows in the Champions League. And everyone's like, well, England should win, and the England team should win the Champions League. It's like, dude, they're beat down. Their first and second team are beat down because they also play in more competitive cups.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Right. They could still be in the FA Cup deep in a run there. Like when you got PSG and you got Dembele not even playing in like 50% of the games and he's fresh to go to Champions League semis and... Of course that's going to make a difference. It's going to make a difference, dude. Your body, you're wearing tears a real thing. Spain and France is as big of a rivalry as I think it is given the fact that they're neighboring European countries. I feel like that's a pretty big bragging right.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Spain fans like dominated that game. I don't know. There was not a lot of France fans at that game. I don't know. Are they a rival? I think they are. Yeah. More than say Argentina. But I think so.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I think that's, yeah, they got bragging rights over them for a while. I don't know how Spain doesn't walk away with that World Cup next in four years. Go around, yeah. Dude, they're so scary. They are set up to be really good for. Like Argentina is losing a bunch of guys. Now, France is going to be there, obviously. France will.
Starting point is 00:12:52 And if they're, if they're on other ends of the bracket, they're not going to meet in a semifinal and hopefully they can meet for the final in 2030. It props to Spain too. I thought the winner would definitely come from that other side which was definitely easier.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Sure. Spain had their backs on the wall from the minute it turned into the knockout round. Are you kind of a little bit glad that like Belgium kind of demolished USA because dude what Spain would have done to the USA? Yeah, it could have been some war crimes. There could have been some war crimes there.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Oh my gosh, dude. If Spain, if USA beats Belgium and they play Spain, Yikes, dude. I don't know. I think Spain destroys the USA. Yeah, if it was chess, they'd grab our king pretty quickly. Like if Belgium's already beaten us 4-1, I don't know. It's a bad joke. We don't, we don't score any versus Bain. I know that. For how bad of a showing it was for the U.S. the way we bowed out, can we take a second and recognize how solid of a tournament that was?
Starting point is 00:13:49 I literally don't know what I'm going to do with some of my life. I've been just dependent on the World Cup being there for me during whether I'm tired, emotional. She's been there to pick me up. And now all of a sudden, it's not there anymore, Gare. Well, you got MLS starting this weekend. So is that like, is that what they're telling us to do at this point? All these soccer crazed people here in the States. Well, you got messy versus, uh, who was it? Chicago. I think it's Chicago. I got Wednesday. On Wednesday. I highly doubt he's in that starting 11. No way he plays. That would be shocking. What do you rate the tournament though as a whole? To me, it's my favorite tournament. I think
Starting point is 00:14:23 it beats March Madness. It's up there, man. Now, The thing about March mountains is every year. Every year. I would love to have a World Cup every year. But granted, I think that's where there's so much beauty in the World Cup is that you do have to wait for it. Every four years, you do have to qualify. Makes it that much more big.
Starting point is 00:14:39 But this tournament alone, what would you rate it out of 10? Because I had like a 9.8. Oh, dude. There was like maybe two dud games. Yeah. Like USA Belgium was one of them, unfortunately. And that's the big winner here that we're forgetting to mention is America as the host. 100%.
Starting point is 00:14:54 From sea to shining sea, we showed out. Oh, dude, the most attended World Cup, maybe the most viewed World Cup, because it got Americans in. The world has always loved the World Cup, other than America, I don't think. But now because America hosted and it put it on the world stage for America,
Starting point is 00:15:13 I think it, yeah, dude, it was successful. And a great host at that. The, you know, the foreigners love the Americans. The Americans love the foreigners. Yeah. It's beautiful. It's beautiful to see the world coming in there. I wouldn't mind America hosting the World Cup every,
Starting point is 00:15:27 sorry, North America. I thought Mexico and Canada also were great hosts. Yeah, except for Jesse Marsh. Not the best host, but other than him. Yeah, no, seriously. You know, I had strong opinions on Jesse Marsh, but at the end of the day, you also kind of have to respect it. Like, dude, he's a coach of Canada,
Starting point is 00:15:45 and he's fighting for his team. Mm-hmm. And Canada's always kind of... Now, granted, is the American, yes, so it was kind of like this weird, like, but it's hard not to... to dog a guy for like, you know, running through a brick wall for your guys. Oh, sure.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Sure. I respect that. And it's got to be hard being the little bro. Let's be honest. Canada has always been kind of in the American shadow. And then America is the little bro to the rest of the world. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Especially in soccer terms. Yeah. But overall, man, the tournament went pretty seamlessly. There's great storylines. And yeah, do I think American viewership will stay up for the next World Cup? Absolutely. I think there's investment there from the American. Americans that will pay off down the line.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Now, granted, I think what we could have done within one more, two more wins, maybe making a quarterfinal, could have done that much more. But I think the damage was done in a good way. I definitely think the American soccer fan has an itch for it. Yeah, and I also just want to say, you're welcome to the rest of the world. You know, we don't have to play those games at 2 p.m. for the semis. And we did it for the world. We did it for the world so y'all can view it.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Yeah, I'll soccer clap it. I'll soccer clap the World Cup. Now we're stuck with baseball for two weeks. Football can't get here quick enough. It is nice, though, on our apps. We're getting, like I officially have the Cowboys' first preseason game on your apps. You know, you're like your score centers and stuff. So that's pretty cool to see.
Starting point is 00:17:08 That's how you know it's coming. Yeah, we'll just touch on it real quick. I have not spoken to Adam, our England boy who was on the pod since he lost that heartbreaker to Argentina. That's what I was worried about. Not so much that they got a limied because he was. preparing that, you know, he's preparing for that. It's the way it went down, man. Took the lead.
Starting point is 00:17:30 They kind of did it to themselves. They did. Self-inflicted by sitting behind the ball. That was too shul. That was too shulging. Over-management. Over-managing. That was kind of Ron Washington a little bit in 2011 for Rangers.
Starting point is 00:17:40 So, yeah, you got there. You got it in this position by doing it one way. It's a little too much drama. Yeah. Too many pitching changes when you don't need them. Yeah. We've got some more sports to talk about. We're going to talk about the Open Championship
Starting point is 00:17:52 and LeBron's NBA future. right after this. The tour is going to be over in a few weeks, and then it's almost time for the kids to go back to school. I loved going back to school because of the shopping before high school and college, hoping that mom would get me some kind of little gift. Me too, whether it was a video game, music, or just something cool for the dorm room. The start of a new school year is a major milestone in every student's journey is unique.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Apple gift card is the perfect solution for busy parents and family members because it fits any budget and takes the guesswork out of gifting. Man, I would have loved to get that when I was in high school or college. What would you have used it on? Definitely buying some music. I need music for every activity. Studying music. Workout music. Running late to class music. Unfortunately, you're not going back to school, but you can give it to a loved one. Whether they need new AirPods to stay focused during study sessions, extra iCloud plus storage for their new school projects, or an Apple music subscription to unwind after classes, Apple gift card gives them the invaluable chance to choose the tools and entertainment that suit them best.
Starting point is 00:18:58 It is a personal and practical way to show your support for their next academic chapter. This sounds like the perfect gift for every student in my life. It also makes me want to go back to college. Visit applegiftcard.apple.com to gift one today. You watch any of the open? Any of the golf? Dude, we, you were a warrior, by the way, for catching your early morning flight. We had some plane problems getting out of Knoxville. we landed me and the boys on the they were like on 15 the groups yeah the final group so yeah
Starting point is 00:19:35 I got to watch the very end of it how did you feel about it I didn't love like the setup of like burning the course out and uh just making it incredibly firm but it is lynx style golf uh but like yes Sam burns had another Sunday to forget but how are you going to penalize a guy for going into the par 5 17 he down one stroke and he hits the most beautiful drive of all time and it's so burned out that it rolls and rolls and rolls
Starting point is 00:20:08 and it hits center fairway and then goes into the the crudiest lie I don't know I just was like dude that is we're going to sit here and talk about you know did Bryson DeShambeo cheat well every other golfer cheat I mean knocking your putter down there's so much there's so many like improving your lie
Starting point is 00:20:28 There is. And that's where I love Scotty Sheffler, where he's like, I mean, dude, it's not cheating. Every golfer does it. Wyndham Clark did it. I mean, Scotty Sheffler has, Scotty Sheffler got a ruling on the 17th that was like, how are you going to get? It's a lost ball, dude. You got to take a penalty.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Right. They're picking and choosing. They're picking and choosing. There's a lot of gray area regarding all that. But I just felt bad. Yes, Burns could have played better. But man, dude, if he would have had, he would still have hit that second shot. but man, he got hosed on that
Starting point is 00:20:59 hitting a perfect drive and then landing. There's not a worse feeling of golf when you hit a perfect drive. And it's like, how did I end up here? Sure. That's golf. That's the dark side of golf. What a performance by Ryan Fox.
Starting point is 00:21:11 I mean, those last six holes were. Yeah, Sunday surge, man. And he's doing it for the 39-year-olds out there, which I appreciate, man. Which with all due respect to Ryan Fox, he's like the most 50-year-old looking 39-year-old of all time. I don't know if it's the way he carries himself or what. But I would guess he's 50 years old.
Starting point is 00:21:25 dude, that's how you play the game of golf, quick. He's not walking around the hole a million times. The camera couldn't even catch up to him. They didn't have time to like, dude, he was like getting up there putting. Love that about Ryan Fox. Well, especially when you golf with the twins multiple days in a row. And if people don't like Ryan Fox and they were like, man, what a boring winner. But then you also complain about golf being too slow, hip crit, dude.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Yeah, very hypocritical. Because he's a, he plays fast golf, which I, you look. love to see it. You do love to see it. We need Corey and Kobe to watch their rounds. We need the other pros to watch it. Yeah, totally. Totally. I think that's where golf could benefit. We could, do we really need to play five hour rounds? Six hours. Six hours. That's a lot. It was awesome. And in the video that came out today of him like putting the claret jug in the, in the, uh, he was sitting like middle economy. Did you see this? No, but I love it. He had to take both the replica and the reel, like the Louis Vuitton case,
Starting point is 00:22:27 and he's sticking it in the luggage container on like 17B. Wow. Can we not get the guy a first-class ticket? First-classer? At least he's not throwing it under the plane. Yeah, he at least carried it on. He carried it on. And it might have been a little too big, but they still allowed it.
Starting point is 00:22:43 What would you do with the claret jug if you want it? Oh, I would put it by my pillow, dude. I'd sleep with it for a little bit. I'd have it sitting next to me on the couch watching baseball with me. I would definitely drink my morning coffee out of it. No question. Yeah. Every morning just a, you know, Claire drug coffee for at least a week.
Starting point is 00:22:59 What a power move that would be. Man, what stones to knock down that last putt, though? Beautiful. He thought he missed it. Oh, I did too. Oh, he, no, he did too. He was not walking that putt in. He looked, he was like, he kind of was like, ah, man, missed it.
Starting point is 00:23:12 And then it was like, dude. You know, a sudden it went in. Yeah, a little space jam magnet. That was awesome. It was awesome. I would have liked to see a playoff, just because I needed a little bit of extra time because I think it ended right around like noon and then World Cup didn't kick off.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Yeah, you were trying to bridge that gap a little bit. But it's okay. You know, it's always heartbreaking is you see the pure jubilee of the guy winning it, but then they throw it to the camera on the range. And Cam Young's just like... And Cam Young's just heartbroken sitting there. And he didn't even need to see it.
Starting point is 00:23:43 All he did was hear the crowd pop. And he was like, okay, I guess that's it. Back it up. So it's over, just golf playoffs now. It does football season. That's what I'm saying. Like it is, it's Let's wait three weeks and then we won't even care
Starting point is 00:23:56 Sure We're going to be locked and loaded For fantasy and college football Training camp It's all it's coming dude We just got it we just got three weeks We got also probably got about three weeks Until LeBron picks his next team
Starting point is 00:24:08 It's kind of getting annoying Is it? Yeah Just pick a team dude Lebron's drawing it out on purpose Did his agent just lie to us Is it really down to two teams Is that what he's saying now
Starting point is 00:24:17 Or three teams? It wasn't it three teams I think it's down to three My name is Peter Parker But I'm also Spider-Man This July We're faced with a threat
Starting point is 00:24:27 That can be anyone The world may have forgotten Peter Parker I'm just a neighbor Friendly neighbor But he hasn't forgotten them Sometimes Spider-Man has to do the hard thing That's my responsibility Talk to Banner
Starting point is 00:24:41 I didn't know you could get that big Spider-Man Brand New Day In theaters July 31st So it's like Why don't you just pick a team dude I don't know. Or just retire. I mean, it's his life.
Starting point is 00:24:56 He can do what he wants. It's just like it feels like the decision all over again. It does. It does. And he's 41 years old. Once you do the decision once, it doesn't hold as much weight now. How about we do a start bench cut? Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:08 LeBron's Miami Championships team. LeBron Cleveland's championship team and LeBron's Laker championship team. Okay. I feel like this is an easy. You're going to start the Cleveland championship team. Correct. Down 3.1. beating those invincible warriors.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Yeah, that was like, what, the 73 win warriors, too? Hadn't lost three games in a row all season. Yeah, dude, that was crazy. You're gonna bench Miami, and you're gonna cut the bubble. Sure. Yeah, yeah. I think you have to. Yeah. But I have heard some counter arguments regarding the bubble title because a lot of people say there's an asterisk.
Starting point is 00:25:47 There's not an asterisk, there's not an asterisk. I just think the Miami championship teams were, they beat you know they that was one they beat the spurs right yeah yeah yeah the ray allen three ball got him a surcial uh laker bubble who they played Miami heat that was the one where the heat caught fire as a lower seeded team with jimmy b he was feeling himself see that's what I'm saying I just think and it was in front of nobody in the bubble you didn't have the the crowds there some may argue that's even harder because like some some players feed off the crowd which when you're just playing a pickup game for a championship.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Yeah, I've actually heard the argument that that was the most pure ring you could say that. Because there's no outside distractions. There's no families. There's no travel, nothing. Just pure hoop. So I don't take that title away from them, but, and it's still weird to me. I don't envision LeBron as a Laker. I think that's part of it too.
Starting point is 00:26:38 I think as a cab first. And then Miami Heat and then a Laker after that. Is there ever so much something as like too many teams? he's approaching his what fourth team now for LeBron there is but I don't think for like just a regular guy for like but for a great yeah I think when you start donning too many jerseys then all a sudden it gets washed a little bit it gets murky well again what we always talk about about Michael Jordan what we always say I'm mad he should have hung it up before the wizards yeah and to me it's like this next team I think we're going to think that about LeBron what's the old
Starting point is 00:27:11 soccer saying leave the game before the game leaves you yeah yeah don't don't get me wrong I think LeBron is better right now than what Jordan was when he went to the Wizards. He can still contribute for sure. He really needs to win a title. But then it's like, are we just saying LeBron's the greatest because he won four titles and four different teams? Is that the goal here for LeBron? Do you think that's what he's trying to do? I think that's what he's trying to do.
Starting point is 00:27:37 I think he's ultimately going to put winning a championship at the top of the priority. At four different. Which I don't know if there's ever been a person who's won for NBA championship. Surely not. Has there ever been... And four different teams? Somebody win four different NBA titles with four different teams?
Starting point is 00:27:51 I would guess no. No player. It's won four different with four different teams. So there you go. So that there's the first. He'd be the first to do so. If that's the case, winning a title is the main priority,
Starting point is 00:28:01 where do you think he should go? Philly. Yeah, I completely agree. I think from a basketball standpoint, giving him the best chance to climb that NBA map again. Like, you can't go to New York. No. Because I think what you said about New York
Starting point is 00:28:14 is kind of accurate. I think they're kind of like the 2011 Mavs a little bit where it's like they caught fire. But that team going into 12, like I don't know if they were favored, were they? Mavs? Are they favored in 12? No, definitely not.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Mavs actually blew up some of that roster. They didn't even move. I don't think New York Knicks will be favored next year. I don't think they're favored in their own conference. That's what I'm saying. So I don't think you go New York. Yeah. That would also just be a really tough look for LeBron
Starting point is 00:28:38 fresh off them winning a title. That would be kind of like KD Warrior-ish. I mean, the only place I would go to like maybe guarantee it would be OKC or. or Spurs or San Antonio. But again, you're the backlash that comes with that. Probably not worth it for Braun.
Starting point is 00:28:50 I think Philly's the perfect spot. I do. You will have to get through one of the OKC or the Spurs, which are going to be so... That will also... That will be the Western Conference Finals next year. Again.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Again, probably. The Spurs and OKC... They're so good, dude. But yeah, dude. What a sports week? What a just a week in general? A really good week. And now we just got midweek baseball.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Yeah. Hey, squad games. If you're looking for a little sports fix before a training camp opens up. Yeah, come on to see a tour show, dude. You don't know what you're going to see. You might see Zach King rip the hearts out of the dudes. You may see the dudes beat the bananas in seven. You really do not know.
Starting point is 00:29:34 I bet some candy with your parents. Yeah, it's like, hey, if the dudes win in six, buy me a box of. Yeah. If the boys take quarterback chaos, we're getting popcorn in a panda medallion. It's a fun time. It has been fun. I think the fact that we quite literally don't know what's going to happen on any given night has been super fun.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Like us going back to the locker room the other night down 3-1, backs against the wall. After we dominated, well, not, I didn't. I actually played pretty bad that QB challenge. But the boys went three for three on the carousel. Yeah, that's what was crazy. It was probably the most impressive quarterback chaos. Game one starter we've ever had, and then all of a sudden, boom, boom, boom. And then we almost, we almost 2016, cut cavdom.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Yeah. Man, we almost did it. It would have been storybook stuff, but Coach Rack and the boys had other plans. But shout out to the bananas, quite literally the, maybe the most impressive group of individuals we've ever worked with. Yeah, also, I encourage you guys to, if y'all've never been to a banana game, go check them out. It's a ton of fun. It's kind of like a squad game's tour. It is like just packed for two hours.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Like there's no stoppage. It's entertainment for two hours. And also, dude, they're not like faking these games. They're out there to win. They're out there to win And they're not in first place right now. Yeah, that's what's cool too. Just like the squad game store.
Starting point is 00:30:52 This isn't like bananas win every championship. No, dude, they're in second place. They're battling the tailgators. There's competition. There's competition. On top of competition. You all should go check them out if you have it. Get on the 10 million person wait list out there.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Which is just insane. Insane. The empire they've built. It's crazy. Give them props, though. Yeah, I think going to bananas game is like scrolling reels for two hours. But you don't even, you're not. even scrolling real. You're just there in real life. Yeah, you're just getting constant entertainment.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Ooh, that's fun. Yeah, what do we got next? Next up, we were in Memphis on Friday and sat down with one of our tour opponents. Bill Leroy, the great Bill, the catcher from the Savannah Bananas. That's coming up right after this. This episode is brought to you by booking.com.

Today's guest plays for the only baseball team where a backflip can be just as important as a base hit. He's one of the most recognizable performers in a new movement that's
Starting point is 00:34:20 redefining what baseball and live entertainment can be. Fresh off our most recent all-sports, golf squad games battle here at TPC South Wins, please welcome the number one catcher for the Savannah Bananas, the man behind the mask. Bill, Leroy. Come on, Bill. Let's go, man. I mean, what an intro, dude. How does it feel? Thank you, man. That was just so kind and felt genuine. I wrote that myself. Did you know that? Well, was everything accurate in it? I mean, I think so. I can't do a backflip. I can do a split, but I mean...
Starting point is 00:34:49 Have you ever tried a backflip? I have. I landed flat on my face on seashells at the beach. I was saying, that's what happened to rack. Yeah. The whole world didn't see it, but my friend group did, and I'm not sure which one was worse, honestly. I had one trampoline.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Feet went through the springs. Haunted me for life. Never did another backflip on track. I used to do it as a kid and now I'm just scared. You ever a backflip? And no, I'm too scared. Front flip, but a front flip. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:35:17 How many banana split jokes have you gotten? Quite a few. Yeah, they got to be out there. I was going to hold it. Well, we just got off the course. We played a little all sports golf. What did you think about it? It was really fun.
Starting point is 00:35:31 I mean, I don't want to spoil anything. Yeah, we can't. No spoilers here. I won, I won. I'll say I'm not. It was fun, but it didn't last too long. I'll say that. It was short and sweet.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Yeah. Dude, you know, it's one of those videos that, you know, every guy watches it. Girl watches it and it's like, I could do that. And then when you get into the moment, when the camera's on, and you have a soccer ball at your feet with water staring you in the face, something's a little bit different. Just saying.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Totally. It's not as easy as it looks. With trash talk going on. And like when the courses are really nice, like it was a shout-out TPC Southwinds. Yeah. Beautiful course. When it's really nice, I kind of feel bad watching y'all play and hitting ground balls in the greens and stuff. I'm like, I think it's kind of crazy that we have, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:17 know, like TPC and Augusta National, letting us do this. But hey, hat tip to you guys. We appreciate it. Yeah. The sun was the enemy today. Yeah. You look great glazed. I'll say that.
Starting point is 00:36:29 You like a donut right now. Yeah, that's my favorite type of donut is the glazed donut. You went guns out. I did. Yeah, I have a little tattoo right here. If you can't see it, it's a shamrock. Well, me, that's sick, dude. Me and Sparky, is that the only tattoo?
Starting point is 00:36:43 That's the only one. Me and Sparky did say for 100 episodes of almost. We're probably putting the A right there as well. Did you want to do it? I'm dead serious. I'm 100% doing it. I'm doing it. You're going bicep? Well no, I don't know where I'm going to do it but that's kind of nice. Yeah, we can go top of the head.
Starting point is 00:37:00 I'll do an A on my other arm. I've got to ask, what is the Shamrock symbolized? You Irish? So great question, thanks for asking. So my grandfather that we've talked about a couple of times. Invented kicking. You invented kicking. No way.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Yeah, which is hilarious. He was my kicking coach. He was a kicking coach for many people. Many people throughout Dublin. He, who's the field that he coached for at Dublin High School was called the Shamrock Bowl.
Starting point is 00:37:25 And so he coached there. He's a legend there. Known around town. Talk many people how to kick. My uncle's me. All had a kick. And so, yeah, he sent hundreds of kids off to college to kick.
Starting point is 00:37:35 And so me and all the 18 grandkids whenever he passed away, we got a shamrocking on our head. I don't know if even people know this. So we do squad games. And we did a YouTube video. And we played the Savannah banana second opponent we ever played
Starting point is 00:37:49 and you know we get sponsors we get sponsors for our videos and that was an all-state sponsor that video and we were like dude no one can kick field goals that we play we'll just do a field goal
Starting point is 00:38:06 challenge into the old state net so we play the first game it's three point competition we actually y'all did way better than that than I thought we squeaked by that one and we're like all right dude We're about to go up too well, dude. I think it wouldn't dodge ball next.
Starting point is 00:38:21 We let one slip away, but it was like, it's okay. We did dodge ball. There's no chance they can kick. We got field goal in the bag. Yep. We pick field goal. We're going field goal kicks. Oh, you messed up.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Bill was a high school all-reaching kicker. Give me the screech. And we're like in the car. And Bill's like, you do know my my granddad invented kicking. I'm like, yeah, okay. That funny joke there, dude.
Starting point is 00:38:48 He's like, no, no, but I like kicked and stuff, you know, so I'm like really good. I'm like, he's like, yeah, actually, look at my high school recruiting tape. Bombing from 50. Bro. I literally was like, at that moment, I was like, we're cooked. For me, it was the moment he went barefoot, Billy. As soon as he took the shoe off, nobody who takes a shoe off in the kicking game, you know, is not competent. I was like, oh, man, we are in trouble.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Yeah, and so it was in our squad games tour on tour, we do a little field goal. So that's fun. Get to rematch with old Bill. here kicking some field goals. There's nothing better in kicking a field goal, dude. I love it. Nothing better. That's a high pressure job, though, if you make it to the top.
Starting point is 00:39:25 I don't know if I want that gig. That's tough, man. It's high pressure, but there's nothing that scratches an itch. Dude, it's just like, it's like pure and a seven iron, dude. It is. It is. It's a nice, dude. It's a great correlation.
Starting point is 00:39:35 It's like just pure and a seven, and you're like, dude, I could kind of love this. Kind of low this. Yeah, blowing for a strike. Now, you were Allstate? All region, maybe. I'm not sure. I wasn't an all-state kicker. I was an all-region kicker, I believe, is the term.
Starting point is 00:39:51 And grew up in Georgia. Grew up in Georgia, middle Georgia, yeah. It kicked lots of field goals there, played multiple sports. Okay. Went off to college, played at UNG, University of North Georgia, played baseball there. I actually went to a kicking camp at Georgia Southern, and this is a great story.
Starting point is 00:40:05 This is kind of when I chose baseball instead of football. So I go there as a big camp, 250-plus kickers there. I finish top three. Wow. I come back. I get to kick with their snappers and punters and holders and holders and holders. nine yards, they bring everybody out.
Starting point is 00:40:19 And the kickers at the time at Georgia Southern were Young Way Koo and Tyler Bass. No way. Both in the same squad. And I was like, whoa. And we're doing kickoffs, and it was just like, embarrassing to kick after them. It was literally like...
Starting point is 00:40:35 Yeah. I mean, they... It was kind of like the charity kick. I don't know how Georgia Southern managed to wrangle both of those guys on the squad at the same time. But those dudes were on... I mean, both in the NFL. Yeah. I mean, just insane.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Do you think if you would have stuck with it You're in the league? I love to kick So maybe maybe my college career would have panned out I would love to I always say I would love to go back and play golf And I would love to go back and kick And see like how my career just panned out you know But instead dude
Starting point is 00:41:02 To his baseball Now I'm in banana ball for year nine So longest tenured banana player Oh is that true? We're looking at him That boy man How many how many years we rocking now? Nine years man yep
Starting point is 00:41:14 So I played four summers from the The bananas were a college summer team, and this is my fifth year playing professionally with the banana ball stuff we do around the country. How cool has it been to see just the meteoric rise? That is because, like, this fan and bananas weren't on the scene for me, I'd say, until about seven, eight years ago. And all of a sudden, it was, it went from here to here in a hurry. For sure. How cool was that? It's been really cool to watch.
Starting point is 00:41:36 I mean, when 2020 hit, that's when TikTok blew up and we just grew, we grew on all platforms. And, I mean, I've been there from the get-go from 10 full-time workers to now, like, almost 800, full-time workers. And so, me and my buddy Kyle, who's also the longest tenure, we should make cold calls, and we've repainted locker rooms and built lockers and the whole, and recruited players, did it all the whole nine yards. When it comes to, like, the choreographed dances, is that something you had to learn? Did that come natural, too? I feel like I've always kind of had just like a good vibe, a little motion, just a little motion, but now we have, we have a guy named Macyo, who is our dancing first base coach, professional dancer. He's insane. The dude is,
Starting point is 00:42:14 He was on America's Got Talent. Like he can, the dude can dance, he can do any kind of dance, he can teach you how to dance. He's just like, he's really cool. Instead of hiring guys like intern Jackson, we hire like dancing coaches, things that make us better.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Yeah, it's like salsa. That would be fun. Yeah. But instead we're hiring guys like intern Jackson. Yeah. You guys can preach into the choir here, man. You guys could have some six celebrations lined up, choreographed celebrations,
Starting point is 00:42:41 post wins, post live shows, post, I mean, post all sports golf, like, you know what I mean? Yeah, well, you've hung around us enough. Is that a missing ingredient for dude perfect right now? Is that a little swag factors? We get up there in age. Because how old are you?
Starting point is 00:42:53 I'm 28. 28 years old. Okay, yeah, see, I'm 35. Gares what? 39. Yeah, 39. Today's twins both celebrating their 39th. I think that could bring our number down.
Starting point is 00:43:04 It could. Oh, for sure, dude. I think so. After you hit like a sick shot to hit them with a little like MJ kick? That's what I'm saying. Yeah. A sit-a-o-roma. Yeah. Man, until your Achilles gets blown doing it and then he's like, you know.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Who's the best dancer on the team? Who, besides Macyo, he's by far the best. We got some guys that can dance. I like to say Noah Niznick is like, first of all, you and him could be brothers, twins, actually. From like a personality standpoint or just all of the above. All of the above. He's a good looking guy. The coolness factor, the swag factor, the charm.
Starting point is 00:43:40 I like it. And it's every time the church. you wear a backwards hat, especially when you're in slides, it's just like, that's him. Wow. I'll take that as a compliment. It's a great comedy. You kind of have a little sparky to you, too. I see that you're wearing thermals in a hundred degree weather. Yeah, I mean, it was, I mean. That's a sparky move if I've ever seen it. I was double-layered two days ago, 90-degree weather. Yeah, one of my favorite quotes is like, that's the price you pay to look cool. You know what
Starting point is 00:44:08 mean? That's in, so. You're willing to go there. Yeah, I am. Yeah, dude. Sparky gets it. You wouldn't get it. No, no, no, absolutely not. So, dude, it's been a whirlwind of a week. We've been doing our squad games tour. It's been absolutely awesome. The fans have been absolutely electric.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Two-part question one, what's something that you found out about us since coming on the tour that you didn't know, and what's something that you expected that maybe didn't come to fruition or, you know, kind of us. Okay, let me think a little bit. Do we learn anything new about us in the last week? I think Cody's a fraud. of soccer.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Yeah, for sure. I've learned that you guys have this extreme belief in yourself. I'll put it that way in go-kart soccer and that you cast all your unbeatable. You guys are strong. You guys are strong. I don't get to perform. Either do I. It's the other guys.
Starting point is 00:45:02 So, okay, we'll say Cody specifically. Yeah, there it is. There is. We came to us last night and said, the gap between you and I is so wide that it's not worth theorizing a plan to beat us. That was a quote of his mouth. And what happened last night? We spanged them two to one.
Starting point is 00:45:19 For the first time on tour, we lost to card soccer. That was humbling. Yeah. And that game, by the way, is the most fun game in the whole world. I mean, it's just so, so fun.
Starting point is 00:45:27 It's super fun. They should have, like, leagues of that. I agree. They should have leagues. I mean, I feel like Jesse is a guy who would probably take and run with that idea.
Starting point is 00:45:37 It would be cool. Yeah, he's sitting on that. It's one of those. We debate almost sports. And sure, put it in the category. But man, if we're making spike ball a sport, make Rocket League soccer, go-car soccer a sport. Better watch, better play.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Yeah, totally. More inclusive. Now, granted, there's been some bumps and bruises. Cody took a little shin. You're willing to go there, though. Sheen splints last night, front bumper. And as the games have progressed squad game store, we've been willing to push the limit a little more and more.
Starting point is 00:46:04 The collisions are getting a little bigger and bigger. But yeah, man, it's been a grind. You sleeping well in the tour bus? Yeah, that's a-gare-on. one thing I said I didn't really know that like how the how the travel would be and I've never been on a tour bus before so this is something that's new for me and I've really enjoyed it it's just like you and your boys get to hang out and vibe with each other we call it marinating we marinate with one another just hang out decompress get to talk about the day talk about life talk about how cool of an
Starting point is 00:46:33 opportunity this is you know get to know each other and and yeah just we've never been on a tour bus we just kind of feel like rock stars right now traveling from city to city and put on a show and hang out They're stuck with DJ Mikel too. Yeah, which is. Which he needs to bring out the PlayStation. He told us night one we're going to bring out the PlayStation. We haven't done it yet. Yeah, Big Delicious is full of false promises.
Starting point is 00:46:52 You got to watch out for him. We love him to death, though. I'll tell you what. He takes up a lot of space, too. That's a big old boy. Yeah, I mean, it makes one of us. Me and Garrett are like notorious horrible sleepers. And I love it.
Starting point is 00:47:03 The pros heavily outweigh the cons when it comes to Tor. That's not one of them for me, man. Anytime we hit a rumble strips or something, it's like, I'm coming home, Lord. I'm coming home, man. Every single time. So I want to go back to banana ball for a little bit. So what, in college, you play catcher?
Starting point is 00:47:18 A little bit of both, or kind of three different positions. My freshman year and sophomore year, I d-hed. Okay. And then my junior year, I call every pitch. The catcher that was above me, my guy, Andres, if you're watching this, love you, bro. It's my guy. He got hurt, so I call every pitch my junior year.
Starting point is 00:47:34 And then my senior year, he got healthy again, but COVID hit. So I played second base for eight games, Call eight games because he ended up getting hurt again. And then my fifth year, I played every game at second base, and he caught every game. So kind of bounced around. But then every summer for the bananas, I caught. Do you like catching?
Starting point is 00:47:50 Love it. It is my, I think it's the coolest position of any sport of all the time. It's the only position in any sport that plays out of bounds. Wow. I never thought about that. Yeah, you're not in fair territory, are you? Yeah. Isn't that interesting?
Starting point is 00:48:04 How do your knees feel, though? Because I know catching, I think a lot of people who don't play baseball growing up don't realize the foul tips off the mass, the constant squatting. Do you feel like your knees are a little older than your 27-year-old self? It's a lot. And at times I can feel some knee pain coming on. I will say the new technique of catching that I have now. With the light on the ground.
Starting point is 00:48:22 With one knee down, it helps tremendously. And so I have a guy that helps me all the time. His name is Ange. He has a catcher made simple on TikTok and social media. Me and him are good buddies. He's taught me so much about catching and technique. And I've learned a lot from him over the last couple of years. And so honestly, I felt going to help pro-life.
Starting point is 00:48:39 my career, honestly. Any catchers out there? Yadda Lize growing up that you try to mimic? Yachty, man. I was not always, Yadi is the goat. He's the dude. His little snap throws in first, no-lookers. He's got it. The swag, the confidence. He just, it looks cool. I mean, he's just got it. Checks a lot of boxes. So a multi-sport guy, safe to say that baseball was your best, but what were the other sports other you said golf, did any basketball? Yeah, I mean, growing up, I played them all, man. Football, baseball, basketball, golf, soccer, I mean, play a little tennis. I mean, just kind of anything, honestly. But, but. But I feel like football and baseball were probably the two that I was best out.
Starting point is 00:49:13 You and Ty were teammates today in our All Sports Golf Battle. You've really linked with the outdoor stuff. What kind of outdoor activities you enjoy doing? I love to fish and I love to hunt. Anything in the outdoors, I started my own little page called Outdoor Bills. Very similar to Dupervy Outdoors, just not the scale that Dube Perfect Outdoors is on. But I feel like me and Ty have a lot of similar interests, and we've talked about that the last couple times we got to join you guys.
Starting point is 00:49:39 which is super cool. But yeah, I love to fish, man. Basically, I'm using banana ball as a chance to fish in every city
Starting point is 00:49:45 that we go to around the country. It's like us with golfing. It's a glorified golf tour with the show every night in between. Yeah, I knew you were an outdoor guy when you correctly name these flowers. Do we fact check out?
Starting point is 00:49:54 What did you say these words? Hydro's a hydrantia, right? Yeah, I knew that too. I, dude, I'm at the age
Starting point is 00:49:59 where it's like watching birds and looking at flowers is like, it's kind of like what you do. My old man thing is watching. watching the storms come in, man.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Yeah, I could sit outside. Just be like, wow, man, that's a good old thunderstorm. See, both those things, I think I'm starting at an early age. Yeah, so see, dude, you're going to be well-versed. Yeah. When you get to my age and be like, dude, that's, you're not only going to know, you're going to know, like what species of hydrange of that is, you know? It's like, so yeah, dude, you're well on your way.
Starting point is 00:50:28 I'm proud of you, you're in deep. You're in deep. Well, we're called almost athletes. You kind of hinted at it like, hey, I knew I wasn't going to be a kicker because I went to this. Do you have an almost athlete moment where in any other sport where you you're just like, yeah, dude, I'm not cut out for this. Wow. Okay, I feel like I have quite a few to choose from.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Okay, I'll give all of them quickly. I have three in my head right now. So one, one time I was at Georgia Southern, yet again, had a baseball camp this time. Bases are loaded. I'm 14 years old and I'm playing 18 U. They asked me to play up and catch because they needed to catch her. I was like, I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:51:04 It'll make me better, you know. I'm catching Will Lohman on the mound, who's throwing absolute fuzz. And there's nobody out. There's nobody out. This dude's, he's four or five years older than me. He's throwing fuzz. He's got three pitch, four pits mix.
Starting point is 00:51:19 And we get the guy, oh two at the plate, spikes the curveball. Well, I mean, just block it up like I just knew what I was doing at 14 years old. But the first bases occupied, all the bases are occupied. You know, dropped third strike in my head. I picked the ball up thinking I got to throw it first. I mean, just a rookie mistake. Touch home. And just, nobody's out.
Starting point is 00:51:39 So I don't have to do anything. Yeah. You know, nobody can advance. Nobody can advance. Throw it first, just sail it over the first basin's head all the way down to the right field corner. There's so many scouts in the seats. All three runs come home.
Starting point is 00:51:53 And I was just like, I didn't even have to throw the ball. After you ate it too. I mean, just like blocked the ball. Oh, no. Sail over first place his head all the way down on the right foot corner three runs score. I mean, I literally wish I could be invisible. Just standing behind the plate guys who just coming home, scouts in the stands. That's one.
Starting point is 00:52:07 that's one two and one of the summers in Savannah we had a huge we had this big rain with thunderstorm come in midgame tarps on the field I was like I'm gonna tarp slide
Starting point is 00:52:20 in front of the whole crowd and I get out there in right field I'm shrugging along shrugging along full just dive head first into the tarp all my I'm already shirtless but underwear my shorts
Starting point is 00:52:33 everything I got down of the ankles sold out crowd 5,000 people in Savannah just full moon out there. Just cheeking. And there during the tarps slide, yeah. Yeah. I've never shared this one at Summer Camp Canacuck. Garrett's familiar with in Branson, Missouri.
Starting point is 00:52:46 We were tubing. And at that age, in middle school, man, you're trying to put it on a show, you know, and I was kind of falling off the tube. And I had one of those moments when my swim trunks caught the water, ripped it off, but I continued to hold on. You know, I was like, do I let go?
Starting point is 00:52:58 So I was just cheeking on the tube. And finally I let go. It was an embarrassing moment, for sure, for sure. Celebrity-wise, you've gotten to work with quite a bit. any particular celebrity that stuck out as your favorite? Ooh. The bro hug you and Ty had, that embrace was a little much because I was like, hang on, that's my boy too, you know?
Starting point is 00:53:15 Yeah. Y'all, you know, we're hitting it off today. That's my guy. I mean, obviously, we have a lot of chemistry early in our friendship. Still getting to know him. Love that guy. But, man, we've got to play with a lot of cool people. John Cena gave us a really cool speech.
Starting point is 00:53:28 And I forgot where we were at, where we were playing. I think it was in Tampa, Florida, actually. Yeah, it was in Tampa. We had no idea who the celebrity guest was going to be. they're like hey you guys all coming here like we could tell something was up and next thing you know John Cena bust through the door and he's just like my step as big as my head and everybody's just freaking out we got one guy crying if I got still this is just a massive John Cena fan kind of emotional I'm cool with it I'm cool with it emotional when he saw him
Starting point is 00:53:55 and he gave was a phenomenal speech I mean very cool guy 50 cent 50 cent came out there game he threw a pitch and he was just like he had the biggest bodyguard ever seen in my life. The dude was like four humans in one. I mean, unreal the size of that guy. And 50, I mean, 50 is cool, man. I respect that too, because doesn't 50 have one of the worst, like, opening pitches
Starting point is 00:54:17 of all time? Yeah, we had to really talk him in to, like, throwing a pitch again. He was super nervous about it, you could tell. But he, like, he threw one in there that was like, it was a little bit off to the right, but it made it to me and I caught it, and the crowd cheered. Not as fuzzy. Yeah. I've never heard that before. You're throwing fuzz. I like that. I got
Starting point is 00:54:33 implement that. You're going to put that in a repubon. was all right yeah uh dream hunt with tyler tony hypothetically you got to pick the hunt pick the location or fishing what do you choosing oh man there's a couple things i've always wanted to do me and my dad have talked about it growing up i've always wanted to shoot a boat or shoot an elk with a bow in colorado that's always been on the bucket list um but also like to shoot a moose and uh alaska i think yeah oh yeah so both those things are on my bucket list you're about to go to alaska yeah flyfish though ooh that's that that was by far my favorite fishing trip of all time i've never, I've only fly fished in like Dogwood Canyon where it's kind of like, it's not really
Starting point is 00:55:11 fly fishing. So I'm like pumped out of mine. Taking my, taking my middle kid, father, son. That's cool. Yeah, I'm going to be blessed. Yeah, we went to, uh, in the Kenai River, we fish there and, uh, fly fish, middle of the salmon run, catching just giant salmon. It's so fun. Salmon run, dude. It's so fun, man. We're doing it, dude. Bring some back. I can't remember, Bill. Married kids? Uh, fiancee, getting married next year. March, 2027. How hard is that to plan around with your busy schedule? Very.
Starting point is 00:55:40 It was stressful for a while. But then we remember we're off on Easter weekend. And so we're always off Easter weekend. And Lexi always wanted to have a spring wedding. And so we're just like, you know what? This just makes sense. We were kind of stressing about it, prayed about it.
Starting point is 00:55:53 And all of a sudden it was like, ding, light bulb went off. I was like, you know what? We can have it that weekend. Just do it on Friday. It means a lot to us. And we're all off. And a lot of guys that are playing that would have to miss a game. They don't have to miss a game.
Starting point is 00:56:04 They can come to that weekend. That's beautiful, man. End up working out all right. You'd make a pretty good executive assistant, man. Yeah. Logistically. That's just thinking. That's just thinking ahead.
Starting point is 00:56:13 I'm not a great planner, though. I'll say that. It sounds like you are, dude. I'm pretty type B. I'll say that. It sounds like you are. I just got lucky with this one. We're kind of dealing with this at tour.
Starting point is 00:56:23 You know, do you guys ever encounter fans that are genuinely upset if y'all lose a baseball game? Who? I'll say this, and this is going to be in my story, too. I had a dad try to fight me on one evening. Fight anybody, honestly. He was just really kind of rage monster, if you will. Just kind of losing it. So I play this game.
Starting point is 00:56:48 I host my own show before the game. We have sold out crowd in the stadium. It's about an hour before game time. I'm on the mic. I introduce myself, which is another story within itself. So I'm like, myself, Billeroy. We can go over that story a different time. So I intro myself, and then I play this game around the whole stadium called
Starting point is 00:57:05 banana in the pants. And I've got bananas at the top of the stadium. You throw them down and you catch them in the stadium. Yep. And there's two guys on the field. They're wearing these big pants and they're, I'm playing against Tanner a lot of the times just competing back and forth to see you can catch the most bananas in the pants thrown from the top of the stadium. And so I'm making my way around, make my way around and we hit this little part where we let a kid throw and then we do like a little trick shot for two points, different things like that. Spice it up. Well, I'm trying to do a trick play. We're in Charlotte at the football stadium. There's 75,000 people. And, and, and, and, and, you know,
Starting point is 00:57:35 And I've got my leg up on the rail, and I'm like, heads up, kids. You know, I'm about to sling this banana between my legs for two points all the way down there. Well, I go to throw it, and it like clips the rail. And it just like slows it down a little, not all the way, but just enough not to make it to the field. And so this thing's falling at, I mean, just a fat, I mean, gravity is doing its thing, you know. And it's a pretty steep drop. And since I throw it, I'm like, oh, no, heads up. And it's just like, this banana just mushes.
Starting point is 00:58:05 right on top of this little girl's head. I mean, just, big impact, explode, banana goes everywhere. This girl's probably eight or ten years old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, just not a good, I mean, I'm sure it didn't feel great. It happens.
Starting point is 00:58:17 It happens, you know? And I didn't know that even happened, but everybody around there, there's a video, a TikTok, a woman sitting right behind her, not even filming, knowing what she's filming, just gets a perfect shot of the banana just mushing this girl's head.
Starting point is 00:58:28 It's hilarious. Not funny, but funny. And afterwards, I come down and, like, the entertainment people were looking at him, they're just like, just shaking their head looking at me like this. And I'm like, what? That's on you, dude. That's on you. I didn't even know what happened yet. I'm just like, what? Why are you the guys looking to me like that? And they're like, there's a dad in the corner over there that's trying
Starting point is 00:58:46 to make his way under the field and security's got him literally held up like this because he's trying to come fight you. You've written his little girl in the head. I'm just like, oh my gosh. And so I was like, can I go say sorry? And they're like, let's get the guy out of there. They had to take the guy out of the tunnel and I got to talk to a little girl and like gave her a necklace or something like that. And she was totally fine. She was totally fine. She was like kind of like a little teary odd but I got to give her a hug and she was like completely over it at that point because she got to come down on the field.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Totally. But this guy, Rage Monster, man. He wanted a piece of me for sure. Yeah, we haven't had that. Like, I know we've had two fans get shot in the face with arrows. Oh, yeah, you have archery tag. Which is like those are sandpapered and like, man, it's dangerous. And you know, I haven't had a fan. Maybe we have and I just don't even know about it.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Yeah. But yeah. No, we've disappointed some fans for sure. when losing. The chair drop comes to mind. Yeah, we have a chair drop story that's all time, bro. All time.
Starting point is 00:59:43 We just didn't read the scene right on that one. We do this thing, get crafty, and it was like, build a chair. And the thing was, the rules were simple. Like build whatever,
Starting point is 00:59:54 we're going to drop it off. We're going to drop it off. It's part of the judging. And if it survives, it survives. That's part of the judging. Well, dude, this guy sends in,
Starting point is 01:00:03 the most immaculate chair. Perfectly crafted. I mean, it is a beautiful chair. So we took it up to the melody naturally. But he really wanted to be entered into the competition. And so I said on camera, you got to drop it. You know, if you want to be in it, you can't judge it by it looks.
Starting point is 01:00:24 You got to judge it by its integrity. I mean, this thing shattered into a million pieces, dude. In the backlash we got from this, dude, I mean, it was us against the world because it was like, I can't believe you would ruin this guy. I mean, this guy probably spent. Oh, days, weeks. Weeks on this chair.
Starting point is 01:00:42 And again, I feel, I felt horrible, but he literally said he wanted to be, so we had to make this huge apolly video, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, man, dude. The chair drama, dude. You never know what you're going to get. Yeah, that's crazy. Well, quick, by having it on my mind.
Starting point is 01:00:56 I remember a dad wanting to scrap one time, and it's the night I quit officiate in basketball, middle school basketball, in Valley View, Texas. Like a 2A school. Wow. Seventh grade girls basketball. I could see the play in my mind still.
Starting point is 01:01:08 What a perfectly called. This girl goes up for a jump shot. Girl blocks her in, like goes through the basketball down to the floor. So I'm, you know, jump ball, jump ball. And I hear you're going to get somebody killed out there. Followed me out to the parking lot, man. And that night hopped into a blue Mustang driving back to Denton, Texas.
Starting point is 01:01:23 I said, I'll never do this again in my life. That was the last night I ever officiated. Wow. Yeah. Middle school basketball. Girls. Girls. Girl.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Oh, wow. That is just. Still, though, what a block, jump ball. Do you ever have any, what was the job scene like before Banana Ball? Job scene. The only job I had before Banana Ball was cutting grass in the summer. You come off as a guy who could cut some mean grass, brother. Yeah, weedy, edge, cut grass, you name it.
Starting point is 01:01:49 You want a zero turn, I guarantee you. You would thrive, dude. That's your place. Yeah, actually, we actually do the youth camps with bananas, and my stretch routine that I have of all the kiddos, them up and I do very, very like just off the wall stretching with them. You know, I have one from, you know, the Brazilian tree frog, you know, out of the jungle, and I do the lawnmower, which is a great one. And then I do tornado runs, which is a disaster. But lawnmowers were my favorites.
Starting point is 01:02:18 And that's the kids, I teach them, I'm like, hey, can anybody guess what my summer job was in 2017? And nobody can never guess it. And I'm like, cutting grass, $8 an hour, you know, tax-free, blah blah. And all the kids are like, what, what? I was like, you know what, we're going to learn how to cut the grass today, blah blah blah. And I'll have them pair up. And I'm like, you got to crank your lawnmower up and get them like making lawmore noises. So one of them's got to cut the grass. One's got to push and they flip up. I thought you were going to say that you ran a youth camp for cutting grass, which there's a market out there. That's actually really, that's not bad. Just teaching kids what they need to know. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I've been thinking about
Starting point is 01:02:59 a lot lately, G. That there aren't enough summer sports. and we might have to start watching professional windsurfing. No, but that is intriguing. I was talking about my shady rays sunglasses. How are my shady rays basically the same quality as the $200 sunglasses I used to buy?

Do you know how to do it properly? You know, I think we have a banana.
Starting point is 01:06:12 I thought so. Sparky, right beside you? I thought so, but now knowing that there's a wrong way, makes me think. I just, I'm not going to give you any tips. I want you to open this banana. And do you like bananas? I love it. It's cannibalism, but I'm into it.
Starting point is 01:06:25 You feel like you're obligated to say that? Yeah, you have to say that? No, I would, I would tell you the truth. You'd be honest? You know, the way that I would open this is from the stem end, which I feel like that's wrong. It's wrong, dude. It's wrong, because the proper way to open a banana is from that end. Show us.
Starting point is 01:06:44 Proper way is just this end right here. Boom. No way. See, that was great, Gare. Yeah. See, I've always stimmed it. See, the stem, here's the deal with the stem. You mushed a banana, and it's not good, but the proper way,
Starting point is 01:07:02 and then I always throw the top to the, I mean, see, I feel like that's pretty beautiful, though. You know what I mean? But see, it's all mushy up top. It's all mushy up top. Mine didn't have that. I'm glad I could help a banana player. You know how to open a banana.
Starting point is 01:07:16 This is a big debate. It's not a debate. The debate's ended that you open the banana from the bottom. That makes me rethink everything I've ever learned now. You have to throw away the top end of your bite, though. And now my lap. What do you mean? This has got a little bruise on it down here, right?
Starting point is 01:07:32 It does, but you're going to eat that. No, but now that's the part of my last buy, and I can just leave it in here. You could, or you can throw it to the birds. Remember, I'm 39. I like birds now. Yeah. I guess if you're bird watching,
Starting point is 01:07:46 I can see that being beneficial. Yeah. You got favorite animals? Hmm. It seemed like a golden retriever guy. This might surprise you. I'm a short king, right? You know, I'm five foot.
Starting point is 01:07:59 Amen. Nine-ish. I don't know. Maybe 10 in boots, maybe. I have two long-haired wiener dogs at home. Really? Dude. I had a dox in growing up.
Starting point is 01:08:10 Sir Henry of Oakwood, man. They're a good dog. Kobe and Bruno, man. They should honestly be famous. So I'm so sweet. Your dogs or her dogs? Joint custody. Initially, joint custody.
Starting point is 01:08:21 Kobe was about, Kobe might have been a year old when we first started dating. But he's, Lexi says I'm the stepdad, and I hate that. I'm going to be completely honest. I'm the dad, for sure. but Bruno, the second one, that's my boy.
Starting point is 01:08:37 Gary? He actually won. He's actually the fastest weiner dog in Savannah. According to, he won a race. A banana, at the banana game? No, it was October Fest and, or weeny fest, excuse me, and Savannah, they have a weiner, they have a wiener dog races. They have a wiener dog Halloween costume.
Starting point is 01:08:54 It's insane. And your boy took home gold, dude. Took home the gold. Pictures to prove it. We might have to roll through the weenie fest. Yeah, there's videos on my Instagram. Almost athletes needs to be there. We have the peanut festival back home where I'm from.
Starting point is 01:09:06 I got to say, dude, I've had a lot of dreams and aspirations to my life, but never what I thought about eating a banana on a podcast with a banana player. I'm truly honored, dude. I'm truly honored. What a day. Feeding the dards in Memphis, Tennessee, which Tennessee ranks way up my list, man, in terms of states that I don't call home. Have you always called Georgia home?
Starting point is 01:09:26 Georgia's always been home. And, I mean, University of North Georgia is not far from Tennessee. You're up there in the mountains. and I really enjoyed my time up there. And I've also spent some time in Tennessee too. Just what a beautiful, beautiful state, man. Can you do your screech? Yeah, I've had a...
Starting point is 01:09:41 You know, I've had some voice issues here. And so typically a lot of the times when, you know... Okay. It's not... It's not... Yeah. That's insane, dude. So it's not prime or peak right now, but it's still there.
Starting point is 01:09:57 It's going through maturity, dude. Ah! Yeah, so that's all right. Not bad. It's not bad, dude. It's been better. That's insanity. All right, before we let you go, thought we would play a game.
Starting point is 01:10:13 Bananas are known for their on-field celebrations. Let's blind rank the best celebrations in sports ball time. So, you know how this works. We're going to flash something on the screen, and you're going to give it a spot ranking from one to six, but you don't know what's coming after. Got you. So that's how that works.
Starting point is 01:10:30 That's fun. So we're going to blind rank celebrations, one through six. hit me with the first one. Checkered flag donuts at NASCAR. The donut. You know what I'm talking about, right? Oh, yeah. Donut on the grass.
Starting point is 01:10:44 Before Victory Circle, tearing up the infield a little bit. Checker, wow, that's a pretty electric celebration, a pretty iconic one. But I don't know what's going to come after. It's the beauty. I feel like, oh, man, that's hard. I kind of want to go three there.
Starting point is 01:10:59 I kind of want to go three. Three. I would have gone three there, too. That's good. I think that's the rice. You got a pickup guy? Pick up truck for sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:07 Yeah, yeah. You ever go mud and you need a little mud on the tires? I've got a Jeep too, a 2003 Jeep that's been ragged out for sure. I used to take my electric golf cart into mud holes by my house. Yeah, baby. Up to the cup holders, man. Outdoor. Hey, four-wheelers, you name it.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Look, dude, whenever you want to retire from being a baseball player, just let us know. It's incredible, man. You can't put this guy in a box. He's a banana-loving, weaning dog-o-em-em-d-tire kicker. Baseball player. It's insane. man. Look dark.
Starting point is 01:11:34 That's hilarious. All right. Next one up. Soccer goal knee slide. Wow. I feel like that one's a pretty solid one. I mean, soccer is like, the celebration is in soccer and the way people get behind it is like the world's sport.
Starting point is 01:11:48 It's top tier. It's the world's game. Is there another one that can beat that out though? I mean, game seven winner. Yeah. All right. Let's go soccer goal two. Let's go two.
Starting point is 01:11:58 I like that. I like that. They make it look so effortlessly. They do. It's a hard thing to do. and it's like where I go straight in and it head and then face plant. Scorpion. Got a little fat. Yeah, I'm worried that. All right. Oh, a touchdown.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Touchdown celebration. That's vague though. That is. You have to be like hit them with like the, a bronch spike or something. Because there are some great touchdown celebrations up there. And also touchdown celebration on like what kind like Super Bowl winning game drive. Yeah. Yeah. We're talking preseason week too. There's a big difference. There's a big difference.
Starting point is 01:12:29 Okay. I'm going to put, let's say it's to win a playoff. game because that's like winning that's like NASCAR winning you know I guess a big event okay touchdown celebration dance to win the play when the playoff game it's huge and to add on what would you do what it would what would I do Tuddy celebration I mean as much as the scuba's hitting right now I feel like scuba would be a huge one or you know dunk in the field goal post is kind of sick I got 30 for that though which is oh do they really my favorite of all the time was when Zeke O'Eliot jumped in the Salvation Army.
Starting point is 01:13:05 Yeah. Army donation box. I thought that was clever. That's Brian X. I was thinking touchdown celebration around five, but now with the playoff game, that could give it an edge, you know? You got to hit those last ones, though, dude. You don't want to get stuck with two good ones.
Starting point is 01:13:20 Yeah, let's go five. Let's go five. I like that. I like that. I like the way you're attacking this right now. Oh, see, yeah. Oh, wow. I mean, any sport, crowdsforms and the field is electric.
Starting point is 01:13:32 Also dangerous. Also dangerous. Very dangerous. And get your schools fine. 250 grand minimum. See, I feel like NASCAR and donuts. Like that's like, that's a you moment. You won the thing.
Starting point is 01:13:42 You get to go out there and do it. Soccer goal, you scored the knee slide. I mean, that's kind of sick. Touchdown, silly, you get to do it. Crowdstorm. It's kind of like, it's like a, you know, it's an overall thing. I think I'm going to go, oh, I want to go four or six. You know, I might go, I might go, I love the idea of storm in the field,
Starting point is 01:14:00 but I'm going to put it at six. Yeah, good. Good. Pouring a sports drink or water on a coach's head after a win. This one's lived for a long time. That's in a classic. It's iconic. That's classic. That's classic. But is it number one over NASCAR and soccer? I mean, it's, I want to take a risk here. I'll put that at four. Okay. That's a risk. Yeah. Because number one. We actually saw that today. That's one of the most iconic celebrations you could do. We had one today to finish off all sports golf medal.
Starting point is 01:14:32 The last one is number one is so scary. Oh, baby. Oh, yeah. Yes. Yes. That works out so well. Walk off, home plate huddle. There's nothing better in life.
Starting point is 01:14:44 Have you ever had a walk off? I've hit some walk off. A dingon? Let me think, actually. Long gone silver? I don't know if I've ever had any. Well, in banana ball, you can walk off every inning, which is kind of sick. So I've definitely done that a few times.
Starting point is 01:14:54 I don't know if I've ever hit a walk. I've hit a walkoff like base hits and knocks. I don't know if I've ever actually hit. a walk off home run though. It doesn't matter. I've hit some big ones though. Yeah, that's great. That played out great.
Starting point is 01:15:05 That played out really well. The ranking was pretty good. As long as you don't kind of his morale as yourself. Do you remember that? When he snapped his leg, jumping on home play? Yeah, that's no good. Never a problem I had to worry about because I never hit a home run in my life. Garrett, you ever hit home run over the fence?
Starting point is 01:15:17 No. No. Dude, that's a feeling I never ever got to feel. It's a great feeling. Is it? It's a great feeling. What's the furthest ball you ever hit feet-wise, you think? I don't know, but I've hit.
Starting point is 01:15:27 I don't know exactly, but I've hit. hit some, I would like to think I've hit some over 400 feet. I had a grand slam in college, dead central, our field's 390. If I had to guess, it's, it was somewhere on that 405 range, if I had to guess, you know, just feel like you're the Hercules. It feels so good, yeah. And I've hit some balls and banana ball that went a long way. The first time we ever played another professional team, one that we didn't like create ourselves, we played the Kansas City Monarchs, and I hit a home run in the 8th inning to keep it tied. And it was the, one of the biggest home runs of my career.
Starting point is 01:16:01 I mean, just a deep, deep drive to left center field. And so I don't know how far it went, but the wind was kind of blowing out too, so it was hit a long way. Whoa, wow. All right, that's our two-minute warning. That means we got two minutes to rant about anything we want. I shouldn't let it get to me.
Starting point is 01:16:17 I'm a social media. Connoisseur? Influencer? Yeah, you're an influencer. That's safe to say. And when a clip goes around and you comment on a clip, but what you're commenting, you literally call me out for being kind of like moronic,
Starting point is 01:16:36 and then you say like, it should be this, this, and I literally said the exact thing you're arguing for, and I'm like, why don't you just listen to the clip if you're going to comment? I don't know, dude,
Starting point is 01:16:47 it just irks me a little bit. Like, it shouldn't irk me, but I'm like, dude, I literally said exactly what you said in the video. You're calling me out for, what are you calling me out for? So you're saying,
Starting point is 01:16:59 You're frustrated that they're not listening to what you're actually saying. Yeah, dude. I'm not, I'm just, I'm just, look, just a man. I could agree with everything in life. And then no one would listen to what anyone has to say because no one wants to hear just like everyone agreeing with sports takes. Yeah. I mean, just keyboard warriors just jumping a gun, you know. They're out there trying to draw you off sides here.
Starting point is 01:17:19 And again, no, I like the comments. I'm just saying, just listen. A hard count. And if you disagree with me, still, that's fine. But like, don't call me out for something. I'm actually saying the same thing. You are? Sure.
Starting point is 01:17:28 That's crazy. That is absolutely wild. You can absolutely disagree with me and I love that. I hope y'all still do. But like, it needs to be a disagreement, not an agreement. I appreciate the vulnerability right there. Anyway, sorry, dude. That was a little bit longer than I wanted to go.
Starting point is 01:17:40 Mine's not a rant. It's more of a welcome home. Welcome home. I welcomed a new fan to the family. Yeah, Fantasia. I was up in New York doing that John Boy appearance and they're going through that northeast heat stroke thing. You know, it's been hot up there in the northeast.
Starting point is 01:17:56 So I walked into Target, man. a sucker for Targeting their deals. They cook up some good ones. I bought a new fan. Sorry, he names his fans, pets, pet names. Yeah. I've got a collection of like fans to the face when I sleep. Wendy's been replaced?
Starting point is 01:18:10 No, Wendy's not been replaced. It's just another. I had no idea what's going on. I thought he was like dog. No, it's another arm in the bullpen. I just didn't know what was going on. Target, 1499, three speed Honeywell. She's on the bus right now.
Starting point is 01:18:22 I'll get a picture, man. She is beautiful. I'll tell you what. And what's crazy is like when I walk in the fan section and I see the deal like that as soon as it's like a it's like the puppy effect as soon as you make eye contact and you're like 1499 for a three speed honeywell it's like once you make eye contact with the puppy you got to take it home same thing happened man i'm a sucker for fans that's crazy he's at the fan fantation yo fintasian fantasion wow what a i mean i had no idea where you're doing
Starting point is 01:18:48 that i kind of thought you were actually talking about fantasion the american idol girl and i was like she was in new york watching john boy but that wasn't that wasn't i'm so far off ever find yourself at the target up there in NYC. I'll check out the deals on the fans. Well, Bill, do you have anything to rant on? Honestly, not really. Just the way that the twins were like marking their puts today. I agree.
Starting point is 01:19:12 I tell you. Wait, look, we can't always just. We would have too many rant if we focused on the twins, man. We just kind of have to let those go. Do you ever feel like they're stirring the pot? Sometimes I think they're well aware of what they're doing. And today was their birthday, so they knew they get away with more. They're rage-baited?
Starting point is 01:19:27 I think it's just like the keyboard warrior. I think they pushed the limit just to see how much you're willing to go there. Yeah. That's about it, though. All right. I appreciate you, Bill. Really do, man. Awesome.
Starting point is 01:19:37 We still have a couple more days together. Thank you. This is great. Hopefully we see you in a D.P.O. video very soon. That would be great. Because I think the people would love that. I know I would. Looks like our time is up.
