Reed got a grilled cheese earlier. You know what it's called? What?
Starting point is 00:02:26 The Betty White. No way. I'm not fucking with you, dude. From an establishment. Yep, it's called the Betty White. He eats Betty White. He's eating dead actresses. This thing has gotten out of control, Reed.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Cowboy, what's in the Betty White? What's a Betty White? So there's some white bread, cheddar cheese. A white cheese. Aged? On toasted, toasted bread. White bread? That's right, white bread. And some thick ham. Thick ham. Thick ham. How many seas? Six. Six C thick ham. Damn, dog. Where you get that Betty White from? Oooey-goey. It's in Charlottesville here.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Cowboys back. Took a day off the other day. Welcome back, Cowboy. Thank you. Show went off about a hitch, but welcome back. Yeah, I know I posted it. Honestly, like big lazy. Congrats to your brother for graduation.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Graduating. He said thank you. It's a lot like a wedding. I mean, you can't undo a graduation, but what you can do is get more degrees. So I think missing a graduation, not so big a deal. But you got to do what's best for you, Reed. You know what's up these days is,
Starting point is 00:03:40 those kindergarten graduation, middle school graduation. Oh, yeah, yeah, please. Yeah. Get a real graduate. Have a real graduation. I'll be there, son. Participation trophies all the way around. Gradification of America.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Mm-hmm. Hey, Matt, talk to me about Anna Jarvis. Yeah, I was doing a little research about Mother's Day. Anna Jarvis started. As one does on a weekend. I want to understand the significance. I can't quite put my finger. on what's so significant about this holiday you were not given an assignment pardon me for being
Starting point is 00:04:15 curious but i was curious i can't i got this fucking you know what hey can i say something before we get in the mb and ended anna jarvis today i'm wearing the phantom of the opera mask for our guy joel mb and that's a challenge it's not just having a broken orbital it's not there that thing gets sweaty well he he ditched it too right i just ditched it for a little bit to get some face air i'll be back in a bit when we talk NBA. You can't even podcast in it. He's playing playoff games. He's fucking playing really good playoff basketball.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Is he still wearing him? Yeah, no, he was, I sat down last night, watched the game with my dad. He was like, Embed's out of the mask.
Starting point is 00:04:50 And then they cut to Embed and he was wearing the mask. I guess maybe he took it off momentarily in the second quarter or something. Yeah, that's right. All right. So Anna Jarvis was the person that started Mother's Day. Back to researching Mother's Day. And this was in like 1907.
Starting point is 00:05:03 And eventually, she actually started going to get the holiday because it became commercialized companies like hallmark and flower companies started profiting and she became a protester against Mother's Day and against its commercialization even to the point that she actually got arrested for publicly protesting. I think she's a hero. I mean, it's a lot like what are you going to say? Nah, that's funny. I do. I think she's on to something there though. I do think she's on to something. Well, she started it, to be fair. So, well, Yeah, she's also on to something.
Starting point is 00:05:41 You know, she's the classic build somebody or something up to tear it down person. I'm going to start a holiday and then protest against it. Incredible. I stand with Anna Jarvis. Not that I'm against mothers or Mother's Day, but I do think Hallmark's trying to get this big, unnecessary cut out of like celebrating moms,
Starting point is 00:06:02 and I don't like it. I like this holiday way better than Valentine's Day. By the way, I hope all the moms that listen, I know we have many moms that listen, have a, had a wonderful weekend, but continue to have a great week because you're still important to us. It didn't stop midnight, Sunday evening. I still care. I'd like to wish a happy Mother's Day well deserved to your wife, a great mom, Megan. No question, no question. Meg had a great Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day. day to Kate as well. Oh. And all the moms in our lives out there listening to Greenlight Pod. I know my mom listens to the pod. I don't know how the fuck y'all do it, honestly. Like, some of y'all that comment back to us, like under our socials, are well over 50. And some of the
Starting point is 00:06:53 things we talk about on here, in light of that, I feel kind of childish. Sophomor, juvenile. Yeah, thanks. And we apologize. But I didn't post until this morning, this being Monday. And there's a reason for that because I was observing the holiday. I actually observed the holiday. I'm around the mothers in my life. And that's why I was late. So anybody reading my Instagram posts and being like, I was kind of shitty, Chris?
Starting point is 00:07:21 Not so. I'm off the posting. I'm not posting socially. Good, good. I'm headed there. I'm headed there. And also, if my wife was wondering why I didn't post about you, refer to the awesome day we had. That was why. Hey, who we saying hello to today? Jackson, Mississippi.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Hello! I'd also like to say hello to Wakita, Osage County, Guthrie, and Maysville, Oklahoma. That's where they filmed Twister. Hello. We had a tornado this weekend. We had like a legitimate tornado. I texted Macon. It was about 10.30 at night, right? Friday. You said, y'all hitting the deck? y'all hit in the deck which is shorthand for are you observing tornado warning um well we and and we went from tornado warning to watch which is right yeah the watch and that that was really educational you want to tell people what you what you told me yeah there's a message because i hit you up and it was like y'all hit in the deck and you were like hey dog it's like 10 30 is this a watch or a warning because there's a big difference in my family it's gonna yeah it's gonna behave uh accordingly yeah and you
Starting point is 00:08:30 told me what was up. It was the real deal one, which I think is the watch. Warning of the watch. I like the watch. Whatever. Cowboy, you know this shit? You know whether? Big tornado. You look like you know weather. Get on your stuff. We either need a warning or like, hey, actually tornado would be a better terminology. Here's what would be great if they'd say this.
Starting point is 00:08:46 And like we live in Virginia. So the last time we had a real tornado touchdown of any consequence has been like over a decade. Yeah, we had a dera show. Nothing happened, right? The dera show. We did have the Nelson County storm in the 70s. which was terrible. It was like back there in that holler.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Like it was like, Camille. It was biblical. Oh, was a hurricane. Was it a hurricane? So anyways, what we would like on TV would be like,
Starting point is 00:09:11 yes, you have to wake your kids up or no, you don't have to wake your kids up. Just put like two colors up there. Red is go wake your kids up. Like start that process. And then green is like your kids can keep sleeping, but just maybe like keep an eye outside.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Make sure nothing's flying around. So when I lived in St. Louis, you would hear the tornado sirens pretty regularly. There's none here. But at the same time, they would go off so often that you would just be like, I'm not going to the basement. So first off, I sent you a picture.
Starting point is 00:09:40 You and your children. Me and my kids. Huddled. Huddled, like to show you that I'm a careful dad in some situations and circumstances like tornadoes. And you were like, nah. I wrote back, there's going to be egg on my face if a tornado pops through my daughter's bedroom one. No, your daughter is essentially a,
Starting point is 00:09:59 baby it'd be so easy to just go like pick her up and move her into another room where she could sleep on you. Oh yeah, she would love that. No, but I mean like be real. I got to my kids like my kids like 13 like waylon's like a fucking young man dude. Yeah. I woke him up and and he grunted dude. Right. Mine would have been crying. He's 65 pounds. I had to carry him and I had to get Luke up. They were fucking confused the whole thing. But they did not get sucked up into a tornado. Neither did my daughter. but she could have. Nor did my wife also sleeping at the time of the tornado, which was not a tornado.
Starting point is 00:10:33 It was just a watch. You waking your wife up during the warnings? Ah, I'm not. Maybe north of the morning. You got to see the Twister to wake your wife. Yeah, it's kind of like a Jesus Christ thing, you know? I haven't seen the fella. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:45 You need more convincing. You know how sometimes they give movies like a reason for why it's rated something, like PG-13 or rated R? Yeah. Twister's got my favorite one of all time. Intense depiction of very bad weather. So I love Twister. I love the movie Twister.
Starting point is 00:11:01 What was the rating? The rating was PG-13. G-G-13, all for weather. Yeah, yeah. We love Twister. I was going to say, if they cast the Twister, Reed is Helen Hunt for sure. And I'll be Bill Paxton without any sexual tension.
Starting point is 00:11:16 There's actually Ferris Bueller is in there. Not Ferris Bueller, his friend, Cameron. You make the guy that you look like. Or guy Alan Ruck, Succession, of succession fame. So that's obviously you. And then Matt's going to be maybe Philip Seymour Hoffman. Yeah, that fits. But I really think we should, we should with everything I experienced Friday night, just me, not making. I had frogs clinging to my windows. Did you? Yeah, I'll show you a picture. I think we take this show on the road. I think we become the first sports media podcast that chases
Starting point is 00:11:52 twisters. I would love that. Wouldn't that be dope? Yeah. Reed, you would do it right? Yeah, I can sit in the back of the van and work all the crazy equipment, all the instruments. We should, so if you know where a tornado is, tweet us at Greenlight, and we'll come find it, and we will watch it, and we will report back, and we will make content. Talk about like, yeah, you've seen Max Crosby interviews. Have you seen one inside of a fucking F5? That's how they name tornadoes? Why? What do you mean? Yeah, F5, F4, F3, F2, F1. F-150. Formula one.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Yeah, Formula one, dude, which we're going to talk about with Kyle Long later. Do you get cell service in a tornado? I'm not really sure, but we're going to chase them and we'll find out. Can you live stream inside a tornado? I'm telling you, we could be the first sports media podcast to chase Twisters. Right into the budget, 2022. We're doing it. There's no eye and team, but there is one in Indeed, and that's the hiring partner you need to build.

Starting point is 00:14:23 Did you guys see MBA this weekend? You know, I saw some. affirmative yes yeah you see john morant got injured and said that uh jordan pool broke the code i don't think you broke the code what code is that's a funny code that's like a code i mean like that code didn't exist the other night like are we just the code sounds serious dude let's not get basebally that's all i'm saying we'll talk about baseball in a minute i'm sure but jordan pool but like let's not get baseball here plucked attended in there like a guitar string i there were videos going around said he got hurt before that. I don't know what I believe.
Starting point is 00:15:01 I should think so, yeah. All I know is it looked like a clean play. Yeah, NBA didn't suspend Jordan Pool whereas they did with Dylan Brooks. Certainly clean, a little bit weird to grab a guy's knee, but still, you didn't injure him. Dog, I didn't see it, I just didn't see it. I didn't see it.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Listen, I'm at the age now where I gotta worry about tearing my ACL like just doing random things, like being at a Chris Stapleton concert or jump, jumping into the wrong end of a pool a couple weeks ago on a guy's trip caught a football. Like, hey, I'm catching a football in the shallow end, dude.
Starting point is 00:15:38 How shallow? Three feet landing. You get hurt? Full speed. Thought I broke my foot. Oh. So anyways, like shit like that is, I gotta worry walking down the stairs now at my age.
Starting point is 00:15:49 John Moran is one of the best athletes in the world, dude. I'm sorry that, I'm not worried about it. Yeah, we'll see if he's actually out tonight or if they're inaccurately reported. their injuries like Philadelphia did with Joel Embed. And you said that's worth it. I think so. It's a $50,000 fine.
Starting point is 00:16:08 You don't want them to know what you're doing. No. No. And that's play money in the NBA. Who cares? That's just like that's not even a suggestion of what to do. Honestly, 50K.
Starting point is 00:16:21 I would never follow the rules. That organization. Double double for Joel and that James Hardin finally came to play. That series is 2-2. Well, I love that. And fuck, I got to put my mask back on. Joe L.M.B., dude. I made Matt go to, like, a party store for this.
Starting point is 00:16:38 It had, like, a nose and shit. Really creepy. This guy's amazing. I mean, he's not going to win the MVP, right? Polo. Yeah, Rissillo vindicated. But this guy, he could be one of the biggest legends in, I mean, where would he go down in Philly history if they go?
Starting point is 00:16:57 Philly basketball history, be right there with, like, Dr. and Moses Malone. Doug, there's nobody, he'd be a bigger legend than almost anybody on our team, for sure. Nick Fulz is a bigger legend. You think so? Depending on what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:17:12 But Joel Embed, yeah, right. Well, not a lot of rooms that Joel Embed walks into and he's not so sure about. Probably true. I just feel like if he finishes this run, there's a long way to go. I mean, obviously you have to come back from down 2O and beat the heat,
Starting point is 00:17:29 which, you know, maybe without Lowry, right? Yeah, the heat have all sorts of like little nagging injury questions. And I mean, Philly, if they get what they got out of Hardin yesterday and keep getting out of Maxi, that's like one of the most exciting places to play, although didn't keep a fan at courtside from falling asleep. But who would be a bigger fucking legend than Joel Embed if they won those title? Nobody.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Maybe. I mean, Reggie White and guys like that. I mean. I still haven't heard one name. You're talking about Chuck Bed and Eric? No. You're talking about Dr. Jay? Nope.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Didn't want a title. You're talking about Rocky? Nope. AI. Alan Iverson. AI, right. Yeah, yeah, got it. Got it.
Starting point is 00:18:06 But he'd be a bigger legend maybe than Alan Iverson. He'd be up there. He'd be up there. I mean, because of the way that he's... Especially like playing through injuries. Playing through injuries. Like five. Everybody respects that.
Starting point is 00:18:18 I'm not going to say he's a bigger legend than AI. But what I am going to say is that of any champion in Philly history of which there are not that many. Like lately, I'm not talking about like, the Eagles before the NFL or the Flyers at some point I think probably weren't then the cup or the Phillies like yeah he's gonna be Mount Rushmore of Philly athletes and you can't count the guy as Bill Burr said once joked in his fucking rant about Philly sports you can't count the guy that that wasn't even a real they had Sylvester Stallone would be like they have a statue of a fake
Starting point is 00:18:52 boxer but Joe Frazier yeah Joe Frazier's actually from Philly but they Albury's Rocky who didn't actually exist. So Joel Embed is going to be on the fucking Mount Rushmore, to me at least. If they keep winning, I think so. And the way that he was playing defense when switched on to guards was freakish, like next level. I want to be as clear as possible here. I'm saying if the Sixers win a title, if. And speaking of legacies, talk about James Harden, Matt, because like, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:24 this is one of the most interesting character arcs in the whole thing. The guy I had, we had left him for dead. And, you know, like the prime of his career is about scoring 50 points a night, like high volume, but this isn't what he does in this team. And maybe this is the thing that saves his kind of legacy. Not that he's saving, but he's definitely been controversial. If they can win a title and he does it not doing what he had to do in Houston
Starting point is 00:19:47 and in the meat of his career, like that'd be a pretty cool finish or tail-end kind of story for him. Yeah, if they win a title, there's no way. they do it without him and there's no way that they do it without him adapting to the role that they need him to play but that's so interesting because it's like you think of hardin as the ultimate volume score like and maybe that's unfair he's a great passer like that's the role he took on in d-tony's system but i feel like in game four of this series you kind of saw like the role that he could be optimized in which is playing facilitator for most of the game and then just being a killer
Starting point is 00:20:26 down the stretch making buckets. A great passer. Yeah, and people still respect his ability to score. And honestly, the criticism of him had gotten to a fever pitch that I've never been like a James Hardin guy, but at this point, like I would like him to shush the haters a little bit. Let me paint the Ryan Rissillo's basketball hell scenario here. James Hardin title.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Chris Paul blows a two o'clock. lead uh joke itch his MVP guy is out of the playoffs after the first round i mean this i don't know shit about basketball but when we get ryan rsillo on here that's that's that's ryan rcillo's hell i know the guys on part of my take we're talking recently about how you got a root against ryan's favorite teams uh boy this is the this is the most hellish scenario again asterix for anybody listening i'm getting carried away i'm putting the sixes in the NBA finals and they're gonna beat the fucking uh the mavericks yeah so you you like the what the mavericks are doing they tied the series with the sons i just hate what the sons are doing this feels like like vintage
Starting point is 00:21:37 chris foul yeah and i hate it because i want to like chris paul a lot i want him to i want him to feel you know like feel that confetti uh but you know sons they they were likable like for like a second for me. Their likability was, was, it peaked last year. Like, now you're kind of like, yeah, get out of the way, dude. No offense to the sons. They didn't win it though. No redemption story. No, I know, but just being there, just being there. It felt like this was a win, you know, just being there at all for them. And I know they don't feel that way. But, you know, like, I'm not like, I'm not pulling, I find myself pulling for the Mavs more than the sons, because Luca is so fucking fun. He's, he's the first, um, well, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't around
Starting point is 00:22:25 for Larry Bird or I was pretty young for like Chris Mullen. But this is the least ironically I've ever rooted for a white guy. He transcends. This guy's not a, you know what I mean? 23 years old, just bullying dudes. Dude, Lucas 23. He's so smooth, dude. He's so smooth.
Starting point is 00:22:43 He's so heavy. Everything he does is so strong. Like every little movement is so under control. Like all his footwork is so perfect. And he just slides past people, but he's so fucking big, dude. I love the guy. Yeah, I'm not even being like, yeah, go white guy out there. No, just by his numbers alone, he's got like one of the best playoff resumes in history
Starting point is 00:23:05 through his first couple years. Yeah, so you talk about the NBA, like Chris Ball could get a title. Devin Booker could get a title. That could be fun. Phoenix could have a championship. Or you could give possibly the best basketball player on the planet for the next 10, 15 years a ring and something to build on down there in Dallas. like that could be fucking fun.
Starting point is 00:23:26 So I'm having a hard time rooting for the Sons. Well, you'd probably root for team on that other side, be it Memphis or Golden State over Phoenix. Maybe so, yeah, exactly. And that's the point is like for being like underdogs and being upstart, you know, and going on that run last year and really playing fun, exciting basketball,
Starting point is 00:23:47 it's, you know, it's hard for me to get behind the sun. This sounds ripe for a remaining vibes NBA team draft with Kyle a little later. Stanford Steve coming up too. Good job. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There we go. Yeah, dog.
Starting point is 00:23:58 So the Mavericks fan didn't turn you off of them at all? No, because, you know, everybody's got shitty fans. The question has been going around online, like, is that kid old enough for Chris Paul to say he'll see him later, which I love that. I'll see you later. When definitely won't be seeing him later. You definitely won't because I was thinking about that. The kid's definitely not going to come back to the arena or the team hotel. Yeah, yeah, I'll walk out, but Mr. Paul said he would see me later.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Unless there's an apology for something. And I didn't see it like, gosh, we have camera angles of everything now. I hope something's going to come out to like fully slam dunk, make this kid like the biggest shithead pushing Chris Paul's mother on on Mother's Day. Come on. Like Chris Paul, who's having a bad game has to turn around and deal with that shit allegedly. And yeah, is the kid old enough? Hey, listen, if you can drive a fucking motor vehicle, if you can drive around a,
Starting point is 00:24:55 an F-350, like you can get your ass kicked, for sure. Especially if you put your hands on somebody's mom. We need the Sons and Four guy, dude. If we could get the Sons and Four guy in a room with the Mavs, the Mavs young man, man though, for sure. Let's not do the boy thing, you know what I mean? Yeah. So this Mavericks young man needs to meet the Sons and Four guy
Starting point is 00:25:18 and they need to have a conversation about it. I think that's how this thing gets resolved. We can walk down the street, I guarantee you the FBI could piece together exactly what storefronts we walk into and out of and we only have one cell phone. There has to be more footage. Let's see it.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Come on. Well, I guess the game was in Dallas, yeah? They don't want to show their teenage fans putting hands on moms. That's right. And now we're going to bring on Stanford Steve for a little derby talk and football. I started taking athletic greens

Starting point is 00:27:36 It was like, no, not. So happy to talk to guys and not be around my kids all weekend. We'll start with the NBA. You see the mask, bro. I pose this hypothetical. If Joel Embed leads the Sixers on a historic tear and they win the whole damn thing, which I think is possible, you know, I would never jump out of the gym for a Philly team.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Where does that put Joelle M. Bede in the pantheon of Philly athletes? Oh, man. Coming back from these injuries, you know, down 2-0, on unforeseen Eastern Conference Finals, Heroics. Rocky, Vince Pappali, Embeddd. Dude, really? Okay, it's only three, and Rocky's fake. So that was what we pointed out was.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Maybe he's fake to you. Shout out to Bill Burr. That's kind of like the God conversation we had last week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all perspective. That's what Kendrick Lamar said. Alan Iverson, Reggie White, Mike Schmidt, Joel M.
Starting point is 00:28:38 You're talking about actually good. You're talking about winning a title. They love me in Philly. Chris Long. It's not about being actually good in Philly. Okay. Well, we're talking, you're doing the exercise of the four best players ever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Yeah. Yeah. Eric Snow. Reggie's. Reggie just doesn't get the folklore as much because the Packers kind of like took it away. And the Packers, like the shots of him in New Orleans playing the Patriots in these old fucking weird uniforms. Yeah, the hump move, you know, everything. Dude, like that just didn't Philly.
Starting point is 00:29:15 He was incredible. But people don't remember that D-line nationally anyways. And that sucks because they had Clyde Simmons, Jerome, Golick, you know. you know, Reggie White. But to your point, I don't think, I think Embed's on there. I think he passes Iverson easily. Wow. And as a Virginia.
Starting point is 00:29:34 You're talking about it. You're talking about a title, man. I know. And by the way, did you see that whole thing about talking about practice, the actual context around that? Like, he had lost one of his best friends. And we've taken that clip for like a long time and run with it. I thought that was really interesting as an aside.
Starting point is 00:29:52 I just, AI is, I'm a little partial because, you know, he's a Virginia guy. We have some mutual friends and I just don't want to unseat him. I think AI would be there with Joe L. Embed. And then we got room for like maybe football and then a hockey or the rings. The rings take the cake for me. Because I have Charles over Iverson. I know he didn't go to the finals. Well, you talk about legendary status.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Like Charles, I mean, but he's another, he's got that red. Chuck when he was there. Yeah, and Julius is. Yeah, Dr. Jay. Yeah, it's tough. I don't want to. I mean, he wanted to tie up. You know, so it's a, listen, here's a deal.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I don't have any connections to the great city of Philadelphia. So I don't want to get people coming at me. Because they do tend to get a little hostile. No, they don't. Hey, anybody listening, don't get hostile with Steve. As you do, like use reason and just kind of like have a, have a spirited debate with him if you think he's wrong. Or I just,
Starting point is 00:30:54 I'm not putting anybody else on or off it on the record, but I'm saying like Joel Embed in a fucking opera mask with five injuries. Like, you know, this guy is incredibly, changes the whole game.
Starting point is 00:31:06 If they can go on a run, and here we are like, this is amazing. This is going to become a bit. When they lose his series of the heat, yeah, this is going to be the dumbest segment ever, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:14 But if they win the fucking title, dude, we're going to come back to this segment and something good's going to happen. Segment of the year. Segment of the fucking. fucking year, dude. Like a forecast, like looking ahead.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Look at ahead, dude. That's what we do. See the future in that math. Did you know where actually the first storm chasing sports media podcast as of today? Did you know that? I didn't. Greenlight pod. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:36 We're going to go storm chasing. Yeah. So weather, there's a whole lot of stuff going on. All right. Yeah. So Rangers manager, Chris Woodward after Glibrate Torres hit the walkoff home run. So that's an easy out in 99% of ballparks. He just happened to hit it in a little league ballpark.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Did you see that, Steve? Yeah, I was watching it live. What the fuck is wrong with this guy, dude? Did you see it? Like, it's the Yankee Stadium home, you know? And then Stan hit one in the second game. That would have been out of everything in the Yankees tweeted. That would have been out of 99% of the parks.
Starting point is 00:32:09 All right. Your team complaining, uh, manager, dude, come on. This is you had, you have, they have five. I had read, looked this up. This is, uh, next level analytics. They have five lefties that were, taking swings, they taking hacks at Yankee Stadium. They all
Starting point is 00:32:26 could have used that to their fucking, you know, just pull the ball. Yeah. Just pull it, right? Just pull the ball, man. Your lefties. It's easier for you. This guy's complaining. This is peak baseball complaining. Okay. Chris Woodward. Yep. Little League part.
Starting point is 00:32:42 He even threw the wind in that at the end. He was like, and the wind wasn't helping today. Dude, you just got done complaining for 35 seconds about a guy hitting a home run to beat you. and in the second game, you had a guy hit a 340-foot dinger. He said 26 at 30 ballparks. 26 of 30 ballparks,
Starting point is 00:33:01 that ball would have gone out, the game winner. 26 of 30 ballparks, Steve. Hey, but you know what? Some people say you're only as good as your last game. After that first game of a double-eddered Chris, he got his team ready, and they beat the Yankees in that second game.
Starting point is 00:33:15 They overcame that home run. Steve, nobody remember, but they didn't overcome his whiny rant, dude. This whiny rant is peak baseball whiny, unwritten rules. We'll put that in the unwritten rules. You can't hit a home run opo at Yankee Stadium to beat my team. Is that, fuck me. What do you hate more, baseball or hockey?
Starting point is 00:33:35 Dude, in actuality, I love hockey. You know this. I know, I know. But to answer the question, Steve, I would say I hate baseball's unwritten rules more than hockey's hard-o fans. Baseball's unwritten rules are stupid as fuck. and Madbom got karma for being a hardo on the unwritten rules for years
Starting point is 00:33:54 the other night when he got his palm red. The irony of that is the biggest hardo in baseball got hardoed by the fucking mall cop umpire, dude. Happens. Releasing his chakras in the palm. He's just staring at him, dude. I can't believe Steve's team. Steve brought up hockey.
Starting point is 00:34:15 You want to talk hockey? Oh, yeah, let's talk hockey, dude. Let's talk about it. Pat Maroon, big goal last night. Pat Maroon is the reason, and I heard your guy Barry Melrose say this, that 17 times, the last 17 times the lightning lose a game, they come back and win the next game. So to me, I don't have to be a fucking expert in that sport to know that's leadership,
Starting point is 00:34:36 and that's big rig. You know what that tells me? Those guys would be the best in the world that's telling you how to get rid of a hangover. Because the hangover is like a bad loss, and I bet you they got the best remedies for it. Yeah, what hangover, dude. They don't even feel them, dude.
Starting point is 00:34:54 They're genetically predisposed not to feel anything after drinking, I think. That's a good point. And honestly, a lot of these teams have been a lot of these series right now, they're all two too, pretty much, but. Except for Colorado, yeah. Colorado, yeah. Hockey's a southern sport now. If you're noticing all these teams, by the way,
Starting point is 00:35:16 we went back and looked here. The last 10 years, the most northern team to win a Stanley Cup is the Chicago Blackhawks. They're having been a... We're working on a bit here, dude. They have a Canadian team. Give me the last Canadian team that won the Stanley Cup.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Canadian's 93. God damn, he's good. He could stump the Schwab. That's easy question, Chris. Come on. And our... We didn't even get that right, and we were looking it up. We had Edmonton Oilers.
Starting point is 00:35:55 We did it in like 89. 90. We play losing with the facts here, dude. But honestly, though, all these fucking teams down south are killing it. They're killing it, man. The lightning, it's like not a hockey town. They're killing it. They love it now.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Like Pat Maroon and them, they're legends. So I think hockey's a southern sport now. Hey, Steve, when I graduated college in the year 2008 and wanted to work at ESPN, they had they had somebody call me to give a give me a freaking trivia contest over the phone
Starting point is 00:36:29 do they still do that it depends who you are well I mean not you I also don't think he's interviewing to work at ESPN no I know that it's like but it's like 8 a.m and they call up a college kid and it's like who won whose last person won the Heisman back to back
Starting point is 00:36:44 Archie Griffin Ohio State I can work at ESPN it wasn't that it was like named the last nine Heisman trophy winners. It was ridiculous. And I was like, you know what? I don't want to work there anymore. Is that really how it went? Yeah. Did you get interviewed to go on get up, Chris? No, I did once I got there. Fuck. Boy, they interviewed the shit out of me. Asked me a bunch of questions. Dark room, bright light. Holy shit, the lights were bright up there.
Starting point is 00:37:14 And everything's a sound bite. Everything is a sound bite. Can't do it. Won't do it. I'm Mike Singletary with TV. Okay. I'm just telling you, dude. I can't believe they did that, dude. What else did you interview to do? I was an IT consultant for a government contractor. What? I don't know either. When?
Starting point is 00:37:39 Yeah, 2010. For how long? A couple days. They fired you? No, you know, that fighter flight? Yeah. I flighted. you find you like it.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Yeah. That's good, dude. That's good. Okay. Crystal City. Arlington. Crystal City. How do they call it Crystal City anymore?
Starting point is 00:38:04 Shout out to the Crystal City restaurant. I don't know anything about it. Shout out to good guys in Glover Park. You know they served like fish at that Crystal City restaurant. Buddies that used to go to this strip club outside D.C. called Crystal City Restaurant. And you could eat a meal there. I had a friend that liked the sashimi.
Starting point is 00:38:33 I'm eating strip club sushi. No way. And you guys are both looking guilty as fuck by not commenting on this. Acting like you don't know what I'm talking about. Next question. Guilty. Next question. Steve, what did you think of the Kentucky Derby?
Starting point is 00:38:55 Oh. Mm. Just brutal. Brutal. Brutal. Yeah Who was your pony The one that came in third
Starting point is 00:39:05 Zandon Yeah he looked like And for a while That that horse looked like it was going to win Didn't it? Man Yeah It's amazing how that works
Starting point is 00:39:14 And then I'll tell you I've got you know A lot of lives been made of the sport We had a trainer suspended And then the horse that wins Tries Horses Holy shit
Starting point is 00:39:24 Like I've been going A horse race in my whole life I ain't ever seen that shit Like, you're trying to tell me that horse is okay. That's all, dude. You just see what I think. I mean, the aerial view of that race, like when they showed it back, it's incredible. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Incredible. But we're going next year. You know, yeah? We just decided right now. It's great. You won't see another race that has 21 horses in it. Is it not that many usually? Correct.
Starting point is 00:39:52 No. I mean, everybody's just taking their shot at the money because they know how big the purse is here. So, I mean, you see, you heard all the interviews. A guy, you know, 30 seconds before the day. He's like, all right, yeah, we'll do it. Let's go for it. Yeah. And then, you know, somebody said, you know, no matter how bad your day is going,
Starting point is 00:40:08 think about the people that gave that horse away. That's pretty bad. Think about being the horse. You think, no matter how bad your day is, you can be the horse, dude. That motherfucker has no idea he won the Kentucky Derby. Think about that. Yeah. No idea.
Starting point is 00:40:22 He's just back in that fucking little wooden closet eating some hay, dude. For two minutes. He was probably, he's going to be getting the best hay there is. guy was pulling his hair. Yeah, he's going to be getting that. Force-fed drugs before the race. Getting that fucking, that red wedding, hey, because he was biting the other horses.
Starting point is 00:40:38 They took him. Wait, do they poison him at red wedding or they just kill him? Didn't watch that show. Yeah. Yeah. You can get that Joffrey, hey. You watch the show, Steve? No.
Starting point is 00:40:50 No. Game of Thrones? Game of Thrones. You don't watch Game of Thrones? No. What? Brand wins. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:02 You don't have plans to watch Game of Thrones. No. Why not, dude? Brand wins. Don't act like this doesn't happen every time Game of Thrones is brought up. Just be honest. Like, people are incredulous when you say.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Way too many characters going on. I can't. And you like horse races, dude? Yeah, I do. I can't fucking tell who's who at all. That's how I feel with those movies in the old time.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Everybody looks the same. Lincoln? Oh, that was a slow movie. Oh, very slow, dude. I like gangs in New York Gangs in New York, okay You might get me to watch Another Kentucky Derby
Starting point is 00:41:43 But F1 you got no shot, dude, I'm sorry No I love the Derby I don't, but Preakness, I've been to Preakness I don't like it when they have to kill the horse When the horse falls They give them that Joffrey
Starting point is 00:41:57 Who does? Who does? Yeah I mean, come on Well that settles it Who does no it's funny Santa Anita I don't know what they're doing down there I'm still trying to find somebody that had the horse like fed it in one I don't know anybody nobody no one the craziest thing that um Joe Popliano tweeted was something to the effect of I don't know do the math but it costs 30k to buy that horse and they want a million eight yeah if you had put down 30k you would have won 2.4 insane dude yeah so nobody's doing that but nobody's doing that nobody's doing that
Starting point is 00:42:34 Nobody's doing that. Mattress Mac was on something else. By the way, the funniest shit was, well, it's not funny. The outfits are amazing. Steve, have you been? Yeah. And what'd you wear? I wore a pink suit on Friday for the Oaks, and then I went American flag suit for the Derby.
Starting point is 00:42:52 I'll send you pictures after. What's the Oaks? The Oaks is an all-female race on Friday. Friday at the Derby is actually better than Saturday to me. I had so much better of a time. on Friday. Less people. The key there,
Starting point is 00:43:08 and you know this, going to an event, like at the Derby, at Churchill, the higher you go up, that's the higher, higher of society. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:18 You know, the infield, you don't mess with the infield. But like, that's why you see all the superstars in their best suits because they're not even near
Starting point is 00:43:27 any of the mud or anything. No. No, they get dropped off and they go to the top floor of the elevator. Those twin spires,
Starting point is 00:43:34 are like there at the time where Brady is and all those guys, that's, that's high living up there. Oh, they really are twin spires. Yeah, it's luxury boxes underneath there. Well,
Starting point is 00:43:44 yeah, look at them. Two little, yeah, two little towers. Yeah. That's where Brady is up in that tower. They're up in that tower.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Oh, yeah. What are they doing up in those towers? Sorry. Drinking for the most part. Yeah. Well, um, at Preakness,
Starting point is 00:44:00 there was one year I was there, Steve. And people decided that it was fun. to throw full Coors lights into the air just indiscriminately in every direction for 20 minutes at the end of the preakness it was one of the most dangerous things i've ever been a part of i didn't throw any but that yeah it sounds way different than derby i'd really like to go so um what happens when they shut the the horse race down do the parties after are they like on location or do people go to bars around there question well here's i'll tell you what those people that i were talking about
Starting point is 00:44:34 where they're in the highest level of the concourses, they're going right to the airport and getting on their jets and leaving. Like they did a great job this year showing Louisville Airport and they just showed the runway of all the private jets there. It's insane. But yeah, I hung around. I love Louisville.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Good town. Oh, yeah. All right. So a little bit of Fuzball here, Steve. We've got this really cool segment. We're looking ahead. I'm all burnout on the draft this year. I mean, enough already. next year's draft is where it's at and i want to do this this segment that we've been doing what's it
Starting point is 00:45:09 called oh uh overranked underranked or properly ranked and uh wondering if you wondering if you wanted wondering if you wanted to do that with bryce young uh and and the stroud kid yeah they are at the top of the what mcshay's most clicked on thing is the draft look at the next year which I still don't understand because all people want to know is what's next. It's really hard because you don't even know the draft order, but then he has to do it. It's phenomenal for him to talk about.
Starting point is 00:45:42 He's not a fan of it. That's the most cool. That's really important. It's brutal. And he has to do it like the Monday after the draft. So obviously this year, lacking the quarterbacks, everybody wants to talk about next year's draft
Starting point is 00:45:55 to see what their NFL team could get as far as quarterback position goes. And obviously, you mentioned it. Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud. I will say this, after seeing both in person this year, I was blown away at the lack of size of Bryce Young. I mean, it's, I'm on the national championship. I'm at the national championship. It's Stetson Bennett on one side of the field. And, you know, Georgia's going through their pregame routine. And I mean, we saw the Georgia D. Lyman, you know, between Trayvon and
Starting point is 00:46:26 Jordan and all those. I mean, they are Greek gods of sculptures of, of, uh, I mean, they are Greek gods of of athletes when you look at their bodies and how they're built. And then like literally Setsam Bennett would walk into the huddle and disappear. And same thing down the other end with Bryce Young. He's listed at six feet. There's no way. There's no way. No way he's six foot to me.
Starting point is 00:46:51 No way. So I think Stroud's going to measure out better. I understand the idea of the Ohio State quarterback and coming out. and lacking success at the pro level, and it hasn't been great, taking Burrow out of there, because I still think he's an LSU guy, even though he started Ohio State.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Oh, yeah, there's no way. Do people try to claim that, Ohio State people? Oh, yeah, because he's from Ohio. But no, but no. No, no, no, no. No, no. So it's going to be really interesting. And I just think you saw this year,
Starting point is 00:47:31 where we didn't have the elite quarterbacks in the, you know, saying the college football playoff. He had Ritter, but he, you know, then it comes out. He has a guy Pierce who's highly thought of. The Colts draft him. So it's about Bryce Young, I think, having a great matchup with his wide receivers against the majority of defensive backs he's going to play against. Same thing with Stets and Bennett.
Starting point is 00:47:52 You saw, you know, Pickens get drafted. Right. So the idea of those guys, when I look at Ohio State, I mean, look at C.J. Straught, best receiving corps in the country. Right. You know, they, you know, they don't even have two of their best guys playing the Roseball. They set all kind of records.
Starting point is 00:48:06 And Jigba, you know, becomes the name going into next year. If we're going to talk, keep talking about edge rushers. If I look towards next year, I still think Will Anderson's the best player in college football. You did a great job, you know, going into this draft, talking about what D. Lyman have to work on certain things, you know, Tibido with his hands and all that stuff. Will Anderson, you want to talk about a game ready and pro ready. He'd have been one. He'd have been one.
Starting point is 00:48:28 You were right about that. The more I got to watch him and the other guys, even more so totally see where you're coming from. Now, a lot can happen as we know. Yeah, I mean, he got dinged up too earlier in this year. Yeah. Strained his knee. You saw that against Florida. But I mean, he's still out there, you know, wrong arm and, you know, pullers on counters and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Like, you want a football player. That's the guy. And that's where the drafts the next year starts for me. Here's why I'm picking him. There's no fucking way anybody else looks cool in that number. Hmm. You know what I mean? Like he makes it look really cool.
Starting point is 00:49:02 And nobody's talking about how random. Now, I'm sure there's some real meaning behind YAS 31. But that is not a fucking, hey, your stud edge guy is wearing 31. He's automatically going to gain 15 Madden points by throwing on a 90s number. What is Brian Hartline doing? Is it the Jimmy's and the Joe's or does he has some magic sauce there in Columbus? Well, Dave's done a great job of going to Texas. I think like the last six years,
Starting point is 00:49:32 they've gotten the number one receiver out of Texas, and that player has become all everything. Heartline is an incredible recruiter. You talk to guys within that program. You talk about how much better the guys get when he gets them there in Columbus. I think Ryan Day is the best play caller in the sport, and you see that because he gets to the ball
Starting point is 00:49:53 to the guys that are supposed to have the ball in her hands, no matter what the circumstance, down and distant scheme they're going, against. It always seems to work out. You know, and obviously their defense hasn't held up in the big games more recently, and that's where they've run in there's some problems. But, I mean, Heartline Day, the quarterback receiver idea, that program is at the top of the list for me.
Starting point is 00:50:18 So you talked about those two quarterbacks, including CJ Strach, give me number three in the country next year. Oh, yeah, yeah, no. You know what you guys should have on is David. at Hale, he covers the ACC for ESPN. And I actually meant to send him a message because he had his ACC quarterback tears he put out after spring ball and he didn't have your guy
Starting point is 00:50:45 in the top cheer. Well, that sounds like a guy we shouldn't have on the show. No, but you got to ask him why. Like, I can do that online. He skipped the red rifle. I'll play pick him in a loss. Exactly. getting in the loss. I played Pickett this year. He's great.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Brin and Armstrong is great. But he's probably not... He's a third best quarterback in the country next year? There's a kid of Kentucky. There's a kid of Florida. I don't know. I don't know. I'm asking. You guys are the experts here. I think he could vie for three. The NC State guy and the Miami guy are going to be very,
Starting point is 00:51:22 very sought after. Is Van Dyke the Miami guy? Yeah. Yeah. And then Doran said at the draft, he has the best quarterback in college football. I've seen that kick. converted to Britain Armstrong? Yeah, no, I don't know. Hey, Michael Mayor, how high you taking him in 23?
Starting point is 00:51:38 Three. Pretty high. What you're taking Michael Mayor three, dude? Okay. All right, Steve. Let's look ahead then to Pro Bowl next year. We've got one of my favorite things. The win total is coming out soon.
Starting point is 00:51:52 They're out in some places. They'll be out at wind bet soon enough, according to our friends, Alan Berg and Motoy Pearson, our guys. shout out big mo you're dude mo's the man we were at the tower sweets bar with him
Starting point is 00:52:08 about a it feels like 30 years ago but it was a week ago uh shout out to mo but we have the the wind totals here Steve what do you think about these these numbers you're seeing they're floating around different places I zoned in on the
Starting point is 00:52:21 afc south just because I just think that's the when you look top to bottom I think it's the hardest to separate even though we have two bottom teams because when you look at Tennessee they have Tennessee and Indianapolis at nine and a half. Then you go down. Jacksonville's at six.
Starting point is 00:52:39 And that's what I wanted to talk to you about because of the Doug Peterson effect. Yeah. I think when I go back and I look at the Eagles and what he did with Wentz, I remember the first game they played the Browns. And I wanted to see Wentz and I couldn't get over. Now he had Wright and Peterson there. Yeah. I couldn't get over on.
Starting point is 00:53:02 how well they designed their past pros and how Wentz was so comfortable as a rookie in his first start. And I think about, I mean, that's why I wanted to ask you, Chris, when you, you know, when you got a young quarterback on the ropes. And Lawrence was, I mean, he went to Jacksonville, they beat Houston week one, and then the urban thing kicks in. And we never talked about it. We never, I mean, I feel like he was the least talked about number one pick. in recent memory. Yeah. And it was just, I, I,
Starting point is 00:53:36 especially relative to the lore that he kind of carried coming in. Correct. And everything was just, that's because they had Urban. And they're trying to get through, you know, moving on past Urban. But now, you know, I just think it's a great move to bring in Peterson
Starting point is 00:53:51 because he's a guy that's going to take care of his quarterback. Now, they don't have great offensive line talent, but there's still things Doug Peterson could do to help him progress. And I think the number one thing, is confidence. And how do you get that?
Starting point is 00:54:04 When I realize I'm going to have four or five seconds to throw the football in a league. And you look at what they did in the draft. They go out and get defense. I think it was five of their seven picks. They get Christian Kirk who's a difference maker for Lawrence. So I just feel like there's teams like that. He's one of the biggest difference makers in the history of football, dude, already. He has made the biggest difference of any player in the history of the game, dude.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Oh yeah, you're talking about the wallet I'm John McShallie. All the fucking other coaches and GMs now I have to deal with. This guy wants a contract four years early. I'm out, dude. Christian Kirk got 18. That number's currently at six.
Starting point is 00:54:48 I'm taking the slight under. We talked about this the other day. I got them like maybe five, six wins. But I'm not being dismissive. I think Trevor plays better because of what you're talking about. But there's so much work to do for them. Correct. You know, they're also piecing together a team with a bunch of free agents.
Starting point is 00:55:06 So, you know, people learn to play with each other. Yeah, Doug's awesome. I love Doug. But I would go slightly under. And then I have two words for you, Davis Mills, man. Like, did Davis Mills die, Steve? Because last time I checked, he's up in Houston. He's in that division.
Starting point is 00:55:21 That's two L's a year, you know? That's two Ls a year right there. And you need those Ws to get to six, six and a half. If you're the Jags, you can't count on it in Houston. Can't spell Mills with. without two else. Exactly. You cannot.
Starting point is 00:55:34 You cannot. That's a good one. Not as good as Tulane expanding, though. Tulane. We got great. So good. He was just left him slack jawed. He was just sitting there like,
Starting point is 00:55:47 yeah, you got him. But then in that division, Chris, you look at the top with Tennessee and the Colts. Yeah. Like the Colts are going to do this again, a plugging and play quarterback.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Tennessee just says, all right, AJ, see you later. That price tag's too high. scrappy they don't care Traylon Burks Yeah I mean they go right out and get a Motivaker there
Starting point is 00:56:07 Yeah in the last year right of his contract Yep Yep He wants to get paid one more time and he wants to say You know hey I was I don't have to mentor these motherfuckers He wants to say that Yep he's also got to play better in the biggest game of the year too I know but he talked about that to his credit you know like you talked about that
Starting point is 00:56:26 I'm a fan of his and I don't think and I don't think that was that big a deal that thing with Malik. I think he's probably a good vet. I think he's probably being a good vet. We talked about that last week. I don't want to get there at nauseam. But look at the Steelers, seven and a half is what I'm seeing right now
Starting point is 00:56:43 on Action Network. So this to me, on the surface, you're like, fuck, that feels high. I mean, they barely gotten here. Last year, what they end up with? Nine, seven, and one? Yeah, I mean, they got in. They've struggled, right?
Starting point is 00:56:59 And you're like, Mitchell, Tribisky or, you know, who can he pick it? Like, what's it going to be? I say take the over because I heard this stat today. The Steelers don't even leave the Eastern Time Zone this year. They travel less than like any team I've ever seen. Pittsburgh travels just 6,400 miles this season and never leaves the Eastern Time Zone. They're the only team not to cross the time zone this season. Seattle, on the other hand, will travel 29,400 miles across 34 times zones this. this year, both most of the NFL. Thanks for playing in Germany.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Seattle. Five and a half is the total. Seattle is basically Japan, dude, and they're going to Germany. Like when I'm in Washington, I'm so far west, dude. I just feel like, you know, I might as well be on the other side
Starting point is 00:57:49 of the Pacific Ocean. They have to go to Germany. So take the Seahawks and bet on a house fire. And then take the Steelers and buy the dip. little travel tip there presented by insert airline here
Starting point is 00:58:07 we're fucking we're ready for you I remember there was a year the Eagles didn't leave like they didn't have to take a plane ride longer than an hour last year through eight 10 weeks
Starting point is 00:58:18 last year they ended the season it was like six weeks in a row that makes a big difference so all the division though they have Patriots, Raiders, Colts, Eagles not easy
Starting point is 00:58:27 out of division out of division I think the Patriots what's the Patriots number, I might actually take the under. Because our friend Alan Berg said that they'll probably be lower at the wind than anywhere else. And I believe Alan Berg, eight and a half. It's down there for a reason.
Starting point is 00:58:46 We don't have the dead set schedule. Obviously it comes out this week. You take the dolphins win more games than the Patriots. I don't know, man. And this is explosive for me for many reasons. I think the dolphins are going to be a better team than the. the Patriots, but I still worry about the quarterback. I really do. And Mac Jones, he's prime for a sophomore slump. Yeah. I think the bill's just fucking, the bills just, they're going to be like the division is, uh, is, is that horse the other day. They're that little last jockey. They're just they're running that thing, man. They're, they're just bully ball the rest of the division. They're,
Starting point is 00:59:26 they're not ready for the jets will be better. What's the, the jets number five and a half, take the over. Zach Wilson's going to be better By the dip there What's the what's the bears number Six and a half Buy that dip Take the bears I love Justin
Starting point is 00:59:43 That's about all I know about the bears Robert Quinn plays there He's got 31 sacks last year He's 56 years old By the dip Anybody else stand out to you Steve Oh it felt like you know When I was coming out week after week last year
Starting point is 01:00:01 When the Colts got it rolling It was like, I mean, they went up to Buffalo and just gave it to them. And it's like they could beat anybody. And then Wendt plays his worst game the year in a game at Jacksonville. Yeah. And now they plug in another veteran QB. Is Matt Ryan an upgrade or, you know, a maintaining of a level of quarterback's play? It's an upgrade.
Starting point is 01:00:24 I think it's better. And I love what they did in their draft. So I look at the roster and that division. I think the Colts are the best team to me. No, the Colts are going to be, listen, I'm looking at this number. If it's nine and a half where you can get it, take the over. Yeah. I don't know what it was last year.
Starting point is 01:00:39 It was probably in this range, and you're telling me they're not going to be better. Yeah, I believe it was 10 and a half last year. Your guy in Gokwey, Terp. Yes. He's going to make them better up front defensively. And they got, they got Woods in Virginia. Yep, yep, which is going to be game changer. The deal of the draft.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Did he get his number yet for the Colts? I want to know what number is. number zero. I know. Yeah, so that's a good look at somebody I'm looking up at the top you know, obviously the bucks and the bills are going to be up there. Yeah. The Chiefs, the Rams are up there.
Starting point is 01:01:14 The Cowboys are up there. I hate to say this. I always start with season win totals. Always start at the bottom. You like start starting at the bottom. It's easier to pluck the, yeah, Texans. I mean, two. Give me an under. I just gave you one under. One under. Let me give you an under. I already gave you
Starting point is 01:01:30 an under. Maybe the Patriots. And I want matchups. I want Texans win more games than the Seahawks. Sure. I book that. Davis Mills, dude. I believe in Davis Mills. Sorry,
Starting point is 01:01:42 Cowboy Reed. I know formerly of God's team, but Drew Locke, I believe in Davis Mills. I'll give you an under. I'm not going to say the Vikings. Yeah. It's a sweatfest every time.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Man, I like everyone. Yep. That's the problem with this exercise. The Niners. The Niners, you know, I'd look at the Broncos under, you know, don't, don't, just because you plug Russell Wilson in there doesn't mean things are going to change, read like that, no offense.
Starting point is 01:02:16 I think it's going to be a lot better. They're going to be good. They're going to be scary, but. Russell is sending tape of himself throwing to the Broncos wide receivers to Peyton Manning to get feedback. So you got to count Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning. That's a really good point. dude and you can't discount that. Payton's not watching it though
Starting point is 01:02:36 because he's getting ready for the masters and the Manning Cows. Yeah, he's fucking, he's thinking about how he can become even more dominant. I mean, like that guy is just dominating life. Peyton Manning? Yeah. One of the biggest life dominators ever.
Starting point is 01:02:50 All right, so, uh, I think you're up there. I think you dominate life. I'm not dominating life, dude. This is the tip of the iceberg here. Fuck, dude. I've run out of gas all the time. stuff like that how dry was your mouth on that flight home from Vegas
Starting point is 01:03:07 the ride home from Vegas was fine dude I feel like at this age when you leave Vegas it's your favorite part of Vegas in some ways it's like as long as you got out of there alive and you didn't incur too many costs your dignity's intact I mean that was a good ride home
Starting point is 01:03:25 we were happy to be home right we were happy to be home looking for a right Hey, Chris Woodward's boys are being no hit through seven in that Little League park, by the way. Oh, presently. Steve, is there anything any hot takes you got that you want to just fire our way? Like, you want to make us famous today for anything?
Starting point is 01:03:49 Any hot sports takes coming off the weekend before we let you go pick up your kids at the carpool? Amazing dad. We're on to Father's Day. We are. What do you want for Father's Day? I don't have you guys don't have that much time I want one of those days where they leave us alone
Starting point is 01:04:06 like they implied that we should do yesterday. Stanford Steve appreciate you. It's been too long I know you feel like the feeling is mutual. Well I feel like I got suspended after I haven't been on since I came to the Duke Virginia game. Oh hold on a second
Starting point is 01:04:22 dude. Hey buddy, sorry about that loss. Sorry about the fact the F1 guy didn't know who the fuck Palo Bay Caro was. I know you were incensed. That's not Patrick Mahomes. That's one of the best fucking, what do they call stretch fours in the... Man, it's unacceptable.
Starting point is 01:04:42 It's unacceptable. Hey, Steve, what the fuck you came to the Virginia game. You were giving us high fives. And you're a huge Duke fan? Insanity, dude. The guy was an undercover police officer handling cocaine in a fucking bra and underwear like he was this totally he's a total imposter making we sat down in the suite at the notre dame game and went through the whole thing bro do you not go back to the whole thing dude
Starting point is 01:05:14 yeah he was shit face but i don't know what my excuse was i apologize for that you had a great time with you but i don't remember what's my excuse about your dude i wasn't hammered you're you you don't really listen that well yeah i don't i was really we had a great great conversation but I don't remember it. I certainly, I would have remembered something like you being a Duke fan. You're saying, ask anybody. I haven't found many people saying, yeah, Stanford Steve's a Duke Homer. Bro, they got to put you in a, like, there's a sex offender website and there's a Duke fan,
Starting point is 01:05:46 a closet dude fan website. They're going to put people in your neighborhood. Why are I trying to come to Charlottesville to see Duke? Whoa! To see us! We want a natural title in 2019. Yeah. But us?
Starting point is 01:06:00 We like win, oh yeah, people. Me and you, his fucking friends. Right. That was mean what you just said. Yeah, he didn't even mean, but he didn't even mean to make it mean. That's how he feels. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 01:06:10 Remember he came down and acted happy as fuck to see us? You said the quiet part out loud. Yeah, he did. He just came down to see Palo. Palo Mahomes. That was his worst game of the year, too. So, like, whatever. But what I don't get is when, when Kihei Clark's making like five threes in the first half,
Starting point is 01:06:28 you really were high-fiving. Like, was, what was that? Yeah, he was just, he was acting like, I'm caught up in the moment I bet Virginia. That's like, him just handling the cocaine, dude. How do we feel about Virginia being a nine-seed in the Lax tournament?
Starting point is 01:06:45 Well, they're not seated. They are, they are playing the eight, the brown bears. Yeah. It's a ridiculous draw. Notre Dame should be in there. One ACC team. Yeah, six Ivies.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Oh, guys, I want to take a second. going to talk about the women's team yeah all the the gals on the women's team were at my house last night because meg hosted them to watch the selection uh show for that so yeah yeah so i'm about to post this picture it's a it's a big tony the bulldog just getting absolutely handled over there i mean like 30 girls just going nuts for big tony and finding out uh where they play uh i think uh they're in the same bracket as USC. That's all I got. Yeah, they got USC and then winner plays top-seated UNC. Who's in the turning for the 26th straight year?
Starting point is 01:07:33 But that's, did you watch that selection show for the men's bracket? The Donna, I forget Donna's last name. Donna, not too compelling a case for why teams were left out, why teams made it, where teams were put into the draw. Very weird draw. Might be a Mickey Mouse tournament on our hands. All right. But I know those Terps, those Terps don't want to see Virginia and,
Starting point is 01:07:55 that's unfair for them to see a team like Virginia and crazy he shouldn't talk well how's duke's lacrosse team dude that's really what the question is didn't make it that's his favorite team because all right he's probably a virginia lacrosse fan yeah probably did whalen get any of the girls to play mario cart no we had to lie to whalen and luke and tell him the party got canceled due to rain because they wouldn't go to sleep they wanted to meet all the girls you know um all right Steve, it was a pleasure, man, even though you fucking, you cut our hearts out with that whole trip. You know, go ahead. Well, just after the game, when we talked about it all, I guess that night did end pretty quickly after you told us.
Starting point is 01:08:41 And I just want to say that I harbor no, no will, no hard feelings, I still love you. And I remember brave heart? Yeah. Remember when the guy fucked over William Wallace, he fucked over Mel Gibson? and the moment he realized he fucked him over Unite the clans, that guy That's Steve, dude That's Steve, Mr. Unite the clans, dude
Starting point is 01:09:02 Okay You don't know the reference, but people at home, dude, no, bad Bad, bad, fucked over William Wallace All William Wallace was trying to do was save Scotland Do you want to come back another time And see your friends and root for UVA? Will you come down here if Notre Dame or Duke isn't in town ever? What's, well, it is it?
Starting point is 01:09:20 You were the first one to tell me that the 22 football home schedule is not great at all. I didn't say that. No, making it. I know, I just want to make sure people at home.
Starting point is 01:09:31 A lot of wins, though. So that's... By dub. Yeah. There's Tony Elliott's in the house. Yeah. Hey, Steve,
Starting point is 01:09:36 see you soon. Okay. I love you guys. We love you. We love you, bro. We love the shit out of you. Even if you're backstabbing fucking turp.
Starting point is 01:09:46 We give him a pass for being a turp, and then he's underneath the turk. He's like the guy at the fucking committing. to different schools, dude, as an adult. Grow up, Steve. Yeah. Fuck. Guy's first name's Stanford.
Starting point is 01:09:58 For Christ's sake. Stanford! Big Notre Dame and Duke fan. Terps fan too, probably. Yeah. All right. See you, Steve. All right.

Starting point is 01:11:03 No, honestly, you're like a fan. You race the cars. I'm a new fan, and I play the video game. So I'm a fan in, like, I play Madden. I'm a football fan. But it's a simulator. The F-1 game is like a game. I-racing is a simulator.
Starting point is 01:11:17 Could you die? that's a great question you know a lot of these cardiac events yeah but I'm talking about like you could die in your simulator so it's kind of like to forget to eat enjoy yourself so much being so immersed I think you could I could totally see you getting 127 hours without being stuck in a boulder yeah making was asked you some pretty interesting shit that I was ruining
Starting point is 01:11:41 sifting through the mailbag questions you know I haven't seen the whatever the hell documentary everybody talks about I don't even know if the documentary or not. So I was asking about what it was and what I said I thought it was was the four big tires that are like as tall as where you're sitting in the little car. And Kyle says that's right. It's
Starting point is 01:11:59 open wheel racing. There's no cover over the wheel like in your Toyota Camry in the NASCAR race. There's no fender flares. I don't know the proper way to say it. Kyle, you don't have to... You're an expert compared to us. Open wheel, Formula 1,
Starting point is 01:12:15 Indy car, things where you could like if you could touch your wheel on the your tire on the wall like usually you touch your car on the wall but like it'll be your tires they hit that's open wheel and that's that's fast dangerous a lot of aerodynamics why do you think everybody likes it so much all the sudden f1 yeah because don't you feel like it's been the last two years i think f1 has done acting like that i know kyle actually likes it there are a lot of people out there i think maybe act like they're like it's marketing well i think they do and it's it's hard not to if you see a little bit of the Netflix stuff because it's got everything that you see in the major TV shows.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Right. Big money. Right. Good looking folks. Right. Fast cars. Shiny objects. They're in Monte Carlo.
Starting point is 01:13:00 They're in Spain. They're in, you know. A bunch of Ashley Schaefer. They're in an amazing places all over the world. Bright lights. You're talking Drive to Survive? Yeah. Drive to Survive is the Netflix documentary.
Starting point is 01:13:12 It's got four seasons, I think. Okay. And they just confirmed a fifth and a sixth. I guess I'll check that out. Chris and everybody out there, go check out Drive Survive. Dude, listen, before we went to that NASCAR race, it's a casual thing. I was like, you know, I'm not saying I follow and know who won Darlington and all that shit, although it was the guy on Dale Jr.'s team driving the mayonnaise car.
Starting point is 01:13:34 What the fuck? I always have ever rooted for mayonnaise because of a friend of the program. But fucking NASCAR, it took going to get it. Like, really get it. Like, I've always, eh, but. I get it. I want to go to more races. Maybe it's, I got to go to F-1 race and really, like, feel it because, uh, I'm at least intrigued with the courses being in cities and the way they like kind of custom Sim City. You know, we used to play Sim City. Like, they're basically playing Sim City with race tracks. It's kind of cool. Certain places, certain tracks that you go to like the one we just saw, the Miami International Autodrome. I love the name Autodrome by the way. Autodrome. D-R-O-M-E. I'm not really sure what. word there but it's a very international word that you hear all the time in racing
Starting point is 01:14:21 a track a track like that is built around the hard rock stadium is it supposed to be a gator a track in Vegas that looks like a gator track in vaguely that is there's that is that oh oh no shit dude that's a auto drone did you you read it that's that's incredible that but chris each track is unique it looks like a fucking gator okay my bad no but it's like they're trying to tell us something. I mean, it would make sense. But let me read more as as...
Starting point is 01:14:52 The Autodrome looks like a gator. Saw that. In the state of the gators. You guys definitely should watch Drive to Survive, though. It's really good. Like, I knew nothing about Formula One, and then it got me really invested in, like, the teams and built up my knowledge.
Starting point is 01:15:06 Now, be real. Some people are going to tweet at me and say, I really do fucking follow this shit. And I'm not saying you don't. I'm just saying there are some people lately that I feel like all of a sudden started tweeting about F1 like crazy. It's trendy. It's because of Netflix.
Starting point is 01:15:21 It's trendy. People follow trends. The trend was to watch that. Yeah. Which you were probably out like trail hiking or something. I don't know what I was doing, but I missed it. You missed the boat on, but it's not too late. And the great thing is you can binge it very quickly.
Starting point is 01:15:34 I better be, it's a documentary about fast cars. And you will feel a lot more overqualified to speak on it than you probably are like I am. Right. Exactly. Like I feel like. got more overqualified than I am. Here's my big problem with that sport. That lagoon.
Starting point is 01:15:50 Fake water. Fake water. Kyle, this was the sports coming out party. You know, like on my timeline, all of a sudden everybody's like really into it. They did an entire sports center piece on this thing. And, you know, I don't normally notice them like doing, maybe they do, like they'll show you what happens at Monaco and stuff.
Starting point is 01:16:10 But it was longer this time because they're trying to sell the sport in America. Right. So like there's an intentionality about what they're doing, right? So a lot of it is like who's there and kind of the, you know, hey, we got this yacht club. But if you're going to do the harbor, what does it look like? The harbor was supposed to look so fucking cool, dude. I ordered real water in my SimCity F1 Autodrome, dude. Well, I mean, you can't.
Starting point is 01:16:33 It was cardboard, you can't make it Monte Carlo because Monaco has been there forever. But they have so much money. You couldn't tell me they could have had some real water. They need to either take the water out and put real water in there. or just put more seats in there. You know what I'm talking about, right? I know, I know exactly what you're talking. There's like three yachts in there like mini yachts.
Starting point is 01:16:51 They cut into the water like cardboard to dock the yachts. You were irked. I was irked, bro. It drew ire. And people were wondering. People saw it during the practice earlier in the week and they were wondering, are they going to fill this water up and they never did? They just kind of like spray painted it like beyond blue.
Starting point is 01:17:08 I was like, Marty, Marty Smith's about to walk. I was like, Marty, don't, you're going to follow the white's fake water. dude. He walked across the water like Jesus dude. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. We're big theology pod. It's a sports media theology and storm chasing podcast. But Chris, to get back to your original question, I think that people like shiny objects, people like rich folks, people like sexy things.
Starting point is 01:17:36 And it has all that. If you watch drive to survive, it's got it all in spades. I'm in. I'm in. I'm just kind of questioning. You see everybody from the. team principal, the owner, the, the, the people that come in on a helicopter right before the race to watch and sit in the suite, you see them, you see their morning, you see Verstappen's morning, like, it's incredible. Verstappen, did he win?
Starting point is 01:17:57 Verstappen won yesterday. What do people think about him? Going away. People think that he complains a lot. That's probably what people that don't like him would lead with. He likes to bitch a lot, but that's because he's such a fighter pilot. Like, his dad was a race car driver. his dad's in the paddock like hanging out with the team principal on him before the race like he's heavily involved
Starting point is 01:18:19 but max is wildly skilled and he's extremely confident he breaks later than people so like he he does highlight real shit like people love him he brings the car to the edge and he can save it if he loses it yeah yeah like people love max for stepping he's like that uh was my side driver you like ricky stenthouse he's nothing like rick sthenhouse he's just like rickick stenthouse he just like rick stenthouse he just Sounds like Ricky Stedhouse to me. All the fans love him. He breaks late. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:46 You got something against Ricky Stenhouse? He's got a little Kyle Busch to him. He's got a little Kyle Busch to him. He's very talented. No, but it's, I'll get into it. I'll get into it. F1 races had to be lit in the 80s, bro. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:18:58 Cochains. Bro, check out this documentry called Seneca. Cone. A ton of blow. No cell phones. Side pieces. It was like the most popular sports in Brazil. There's three and a half miles of race tracks.
Starting point is 01:19:08 Oh, my God. You're telling me F1 was there. That was going on somewhere. Where? It was super fucking popular in Brazil. In the 80s. Oh my God. Check out Anton Sennel.
Starting point is 01:19:17 It's a good movie about F1 in Brazil in the 80s. It's called Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace. Yesterday. And that's Interlagos. That's the Brazilian Grand Prix. That's where Ariton Senna was kind of like molded into the champion that he's known as today. It's my favorite track on I racing. Inner Lagos.
Starting point is 01:19:35 Inner Lagos. Kyle raced it last night. Not last night. Not that hard. It's incredible. Cast Reader. Chris, you have three and a half miles to play side pieces or family members. If you have 20 kids, you can put them anywhere in the stands.
Starting point is 01:19:48 Yeah, yeah. No cameras. I'm in, dude. I'm in. Everything you're doing, I'm in. Right. Wait to your kids bipedal. You're not going to be able to do so much of this shit.
Starting point is 01:19:58 That's the thing. You think you're all these big plans you got for life, dude. I hear you. Everything's on the simulator, Chris. Everything's on the simulator. The baby can be strapped to me. Hey, I'm going to have a whole autodrome, a virtual autodrome, in my basement that I'm never going to be able to use
Starting point is 01:20:13 because my kid learned to walk. The names of... I'm just telling you, dude. Hey, fake. Chris, I would argue... He's got all these video games. I'm just telling you. I would argue that Formula One tracks
Starting point is 01:20:24 or racing tracks in general in Europe probably have the coolest names of any sports venue. So if you looked at like the Staples Center, like names from any sports, I think the coolest names come from racetracks. What about the Crypto.com Center? I'm just saying.
Starting point is 01:20:41 And sponsors, too. Sponsors, F1 has the best. First question comes from your new kid. Hey, Dad, will you be available for the next four hours? No, I'm going to be doing a virtual race. NASCAR, no, the less popular but also expensive sport. It costs $10,000. They were just, if you're trying to sell a sport to people,
Starting point is 01:21:03 Sports Center spent an entire 30 minutes, like talking about how priced out all the fans are. Like, they were laughing about it. They're like, you have to eat caviar to get in this motherfucker. The teams are braced out too. It's like not super competitive. You got to suck off a sushi chef to walk into the VIP.

Starting point is 01:27:40 That, see, Biscuit movie is hemorrhoids. We need a rich strike biopic. I don't know where we draw the line for medical conditions. Well, that's what we talked about days ago, and I think we landed on hemorrhoids. Okay. Because nobody's ever, like, died from hemorrhoids. And I know somebody's going to write us and be like, I have an uncle. Hernia.
Starting point is 01:27:57 Hemorrhoids took him 86. I tried to say Tetris because nobody likes playing that anymore. I would play the fucking. of Tetris. Who else? Put it in my hand. 30 seconds, you'd be done. No, dude.
Starting point is 01:28:11 Dude, that's Tetris. Who else do you want to know more about that's really interesting? Sevi by a steroids. I'd watch a Howie lunged bioppa. Howie Hughes, you don't want to. Who would play him? And why would it be Geraldta Brivia?
Starting point is 01:28:24 Who is that? I read laugh. Who is that? Who is Geraldton? Who is it? Read laugh. The Witcher. Henry Cavill.
Starting point is 01:28:33 It's also, yeah, the Superman, too. He's my favorite. I think he's a true big dude that like could play a big dude. So he's going to play Howie Long. He could. He could play a young Howie. Dude,
Starting point is 01:28:46 give him a flat top. Google him with a flat top. It's probably in there. Dude, there's plenty of flat top actors. There's a whole division of guys that play military men and like starship trooper guys. You know, Howie Long's an actor.
Starting point is 01:29:01 Kevin Bacon with a flat top. No, it's fucking, uh, Oh, look at that. Flat top actors. Howie Long's the fourth line, dude. Who's the first one?
Starting point is 01:29:12 Who's the first one? Howie Long's right there next to Kurt Russell. Kurt Russell. Kurt Russell. Remember the movie Soldier? What a movie. I remember going home from that movie and clearing the backyard with an Nerf gun and thinking like everything's okay now. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:29:27 Me and Howie. Soldier? Busted through the door. Soldier? Yeah. Great movie. Replacements. Also a good movie.
Starting point is 01:29:36 I saw that in theater. They flipped a Jeep. They flipped a Jeep. Dickheads. E-hardcore. Who are you casting as Dale Sr. in a biopic? Oh, Bradley Cooper. Bradley Cooper.
Starting point is 01:29:50 Bradley Cooper is Dale, with a mustache with Just for Men, make it dark. Give him some shades. Never show his eyes. Hold on. This is, yeah,
Starting point is 01:29:59 Bradley Cooper's kind of got some range now. He's got some real range. Oh, I got it. Jared Harris. Thank you, man. Thank you. Yep. I don't know any other actors other than Bradley Cooper, so I say him for everything.
Starting point is 01:30:14 That's pretty fucking good, dude. Let me see Jared. Oh, actually, I have a computer. Jared Harris. Jared Harris. That's from my head. From his head pictures. The Crown?
Starting point is 01:30:25 Yeah, lots of stuff. Damn, that's a good call. By you? Dale Sr. if I've ever seen one. Yeah. I mean, it's up there. The British actor? Yeah, dog.
Starting point is 01:30:33 That's kind of sacrilegious, guys. To put a British actor as Dale senior, he's got range. So Kyle, I noticed you updated your Twitter profile to say one of many handsome and equally smart and funny guys at Greenlight. Do you actually think we are all equally smart and funny? I think in this current year, yes. I think if it was 1996 per se, I would easily go down as the most handsome guy in here. If that answers your question. When masculinity
Starting point is 01:31:06 Where Jay Buneer was just walking around Getting cheeks everywhere Yeah, when doors weren't on trucks And you know Oh my God Kyle Brad Pitt was like the world's sexiest man In People magazine He was in a dress
Starting point is 01:31:21 He looks nothing like you or I He was in a dress Did you know he was in a dress back then? Was he? He looked great in a pink tutu Honestly Brad Pitt Kind of courage He's Brad Pitt, bro
Starting point is 01:31:32 God what a stud Is that your Is that your good out of jail Free card? No. I'm just thinking about my generation, when you're saying that you're like
Starting point is 01:31:43 you would have done better in the throwback era. Like a goatee, goatee era. Howie long had a goatee at one point. That's a funny observation, Kyle, but you're skirting the question.
Starting point is 01:31:55 I don't think there is an answer. Matt, but to answer your question, I think we're all pretty good looking guys here. Yeah. Equally. in our own unique way I'll rank them
Starting point is 01:32:06 like me I don't have hair I have other things I'll rank them I go Kyle at 250 Reed's very handsome Kyle at 250 could be in a fucking Kyle at 250 could be in a fucking
Starting point is 01:32:17 Reed's very handsome David off Cologne ad David off okay then it goes read because Reed's mysterious and they love that you know but he's taken
Starting point is 01:32:30 and then there's me and making who are tied and then right below us is bad that's it like that's it that's a sick ranking I feel like it's pretty equal and I mean it's like an F1 race we're all within
Starting point is 01:32:46 a tenth of a second it's a tie we're tied yeah yeah I feel good about that man you've been mistaken for plenty of famous actors you name yourself totally totally yo by the way And you do look like Ferris Bueller.
Starting point is 01:33:04 Everybody looks like you. Right. He looks like Ferris' friend. Cameron. Yes. Cameron. Yes. I don't even remember what Ferris Bueller looks like, honestly.
Starting point is 01:33:12 You also look like Sebastian Vettel. Looks like a F1 driver in my head. You look like Sebastian Vettel who at the last race showed up with his underwear over his pants. There was a rule change, essentially. And Lewis Hamilton also showed up to the interview after the jewelry ban with like eight different chains on and a bunch of. You do look. look like Sebastian. I do look like that guy. No, you know. That's Sebastian Vettel.
Starting point is 01:33:37 You think that looks like you? Sebastian Vettel has many forms. Yeah, he's got the, he's got the thin skin under the eyes, which makes him look tired all the time. He's got the straight nose and the long face. Looks like me. Yeah, you and Joey Lugano and you and this guy, same guy? His power alleys are there. Type in Joey Ligano.
Starting point is 01:33:57 I mean, I look more like that guy than. Joey Lugano, dude. Let's put you in NASCAR. Brad Kuzlowski. That was it. Brad Kislauski. Yeah. That's who people... You look like all tall, skinny...
Starting point is 01:34:08 That's just white. White guys. Look at Brad Kislowski. Like, he's just... He's a great guy. By all accounts, he's a great guy. Huh? I'm sure, but like that's a hell of them.
Starting point is 01:34:22 Well, some of the guys are dickheads. He's a good guy. Not Ricky Stenhouse, Kyle. I don't know enough about Ricky Stenhouse, but he isn't intriguing some of a bitch. So I was thinking about what species have good marketing like dogs obviously have good marketing where we take them into our homes we put people in prison if they hurt them uh you know cats have pretty good marketing bees fuck cats yeah what other animals have good marketing and what animals like what species need to work on their marketing like we
Starting point is 01:34:50 treat them badly but they're actually not that bad skunks i would say get treated poorly and bees get treated well they have good marketing yeah bees are having come up they'll they'll kill you look at the standby me kid. I'm thinking about they're going to save our earth if we keep more Brees. Right? Isn't it stand by me? The kid dies in or is that something else? He had an allergy. Talk about my girl? My girl. My girl. Get an allergy. Look at the kid in my girl.
Starting point is 01:35:14 Okay. You kind of look like you as a boy. Bees. Boyish, Chris. Kid. Well, no, McCulley. Kid didn't come back from summer. Vacation. They should have left you home alone, Chris. The things on Bert's bees. Yeah, they get a lot of fucking,
Starting point is 01:35:30 they get a lot of love. Bumble bees are harmless, right? Yeah, for sure. saying they're also whimsical right people think that they're whimsical but they're little killers bro i don't think these are marketed well enough actually we need them for our central environmental thing they kind of have that guilt trip thing we're like if we die you die and whales because the whole save the whales remember the save the whales was like huge it was a 90s thing too i like whales didn't hurt anybody whales they didn't you love dolphins they make the ocean salty
Starting point is 01:35:58 dolphins have way too good marketing with their sperm expect us they raise They do. Squirrels have good marketing. And they get high on puffer fish. The other day, there was a news story from the Amazon where some river dolphins were apparently getting sexually aroused after messing with a snake. They're playing with a snake, not their own snake,
Starting point is 01:36:21 an anaconda in the river. They got running around. They got a bunch of chubs in the river. Yeah, and scientists couldn't determine and if they were playing with the snake because they kept like submerge it and throwing it to each other but they weren't eating it but they all had erections.
Starting point is 01:36:41 Can we get those scientists on to something else? They've got medical degrees and they're looking at river dolphins. Well, there's something to glean from that. What's that? Science. Why? Why? Here's an animal that gets fucking some of the best marketing ever.
Starting point is 01:36:56 Are those porpoises? I'll give you a couple. Are dolphins swimming? Yes. Why, yes, they are. A good segue. Into F1, another F1 topic, but never mind. Do you think a dolphin when it's in the water?
Starting point is 01:37:08 Porpoising is what happens with the car. Oh, yeah. When the air travels through it the wrong way, that speeds and it goes like this. And then it fucking rakes another fish. Dolphins go like this. When a dolphin's swimming, do you think it's thinking to himself,
Starting point is 01:37:19 I'm swimming right now? No, I think it's thinking it's like, who's the next lick? You know? Sexual lick. Who's the next victim out here in this ocean, dude? Soft meat. Just looking for some soft meat.
Starting point is 01:37:34 Hey, hippos. Dangerous. Killers, bro. Killers. Played games like hungry, hungry hippos. They're always, you never meet a bad hippo in one of the movies. And any time you meet a hippo. Well, no, I mean, like, if that's a really fucking funny.
Starting point is 01:37:54 You never meet a bad hippo in a cartoon. You're right. Think about it. Bears, too. They're always friendly. Bears. But bears don't kill that many people. but bears are way more dangerous than they come off in cartoons.
Starting point is 01:38:04 They're super dangerous, bro. They're super dangerous, but they barely kill anybody. No pun intended. And then lastly, bald eagles, I'm sorry. Dangerous. Bald eagles have some of the best branding on the planet. And I know a lot of people are upset listening to this, but bald eagles are scavengers, man.
Starting point is 01:38:23 They're scavengers. Am I wrong there? Have you guys heard this too? They're like crows. You're right, but you're not patriotic. Listen. It's a great country. There's a lot of cool-ass animals here.
Starting point is 01:38:34 I've been a big proponent of, I think that, and I take guys on safari. African safaris are pretty cool, right? But I think a North American safari would be just as dope if we'd get them all to just hang out in the same place. Oh, like a zoo? No, but like you go to Angora Gora Crater in Tanzania. It's like fucking Narnia down there, all of them.
Starting point is 01:38:54 The big hole Montana I heard is like that, where it's like dinosaur-sized animals up there. dinosaur size ones we need to go big hole montana big hole dead dead ass no cap bring nate to the big hole old lineman would be trying to usher me into the big hole dude like moose that are 20 feet tall shit i mean crazy shit yeah no i think bald eagles do uh to get a pass a lot of times they're really dope in the fact that they're so fucking big dude you know but yeah geese if you could make the what would the american um what would the american um you know animal B if we could do it over a bear a dog a bear a grizzly bear a german
Starting point is 01:39:38 shepherd you got by russia for it german shepherd they can come over that little that little land uh what is it the bearing straight yeah if they want they got to get through what's her name first the uh sarah palin sarah palin good some of the codyac brow bears she's waiting up there with her gun dude multiple guns Hey guys, Thursday, Jeff Passon will be on the Zoom. Leave the people with a layup line. Oh, layup line, dude. Great call. We're going to do the new Kendrick Lamar song, The Heart Part 5.
Starting point is 01:40:13 Crack a bottle, hard to deal with the pain. When you're sober. By tomorrow, we forget the remains, we start over. That's the problem. Our foundation was trained to accept whatever follows. The last couple weeks, you know, there's a GQ article that said, future is the greatest rapper alive. And in my group text, there are a couple guys who agreed.
Starting point is 01:40:33 And I was like, geez, did a whole host of people die? One of them being Kendra Lamar, like, if we're, I mean, please. And the dudes were like, well, he hasn't put out music in too long. He's disqualified. Like, because yeah, how will we know? Maybe he can't rap anymore. Oh, yeah, he can still rap. And not only that, the music video to me is like the craziest thing because there's all that deep fake stuff in there.
Starting point is 01:40:54 he was actually doing the deep fake stuff the same place that uh tray and tray stone and matt park do south park so like the studios of the and it's interesting the music video go watch it it's uh it's heart part five so in the music video i mean i don't want to get into what he's talking about you can make your own interpretations but he's talking about culture this is basically it like and some of it's none of my business to be speaking on but he deep fakes his five seven different in this video. You have to watch the video first. So he's going to be OJ. He's going to be Jesse Smollett. He's going to be Will Smith. He's going to be he's going to be Kanye. He does Will Smith. Kobe Bryant. And then at the end, the most powerful verse of the whole deal is
Starting point is 01:41:38 is the last one. And he's he makes some like some pretty direct allusions to Nipsey Hustle, like in the verse. And the first time I heard the song, I was like, oh yeah, Kendrick Lamar's back. Like one lesson. And in fact, If you're asking me what I remember most about the NBA this weekend, it was that like Kendrick Lamar 8 game four of the Sixers series because I didn't watch another lick of that fucking game. I couldn't focus. I heard the audio, said it was awesome. Then somebody sent me the video. And I think what's really unique about this is the song is so matched up with the video. Like that's how it's supposed to be enjoyed. To make music that you, it's best enjoyed that way is like a new thing. thing. And everybody's going all these different directions with NFTs and all that stuff. Like you're wondering where music is going like he's making art. He's making art in his music, but he's also making art with his music video where he deep fakes his five, seven people. And this stuff takes months to do. Like it takes a lot of time, right? Matt, you understand this
Starting point is 01:42:45 stuff probably to some degree. I mean, you've read about this stuff. Yeah, it's super time consuming. It's fucking really time consuming. And he's got five, seven people. Will Smith, there's no way he was deep faking Will Smith until the Oscars. So who knows how long he was working on this project, but I know at least some of it, they got done pretty quick, which is impressive. You got to check the song out. You have checked the video out, especially. Check the video out first.
Starting point is 01:43:08 This is like where music's going, maybe. Like people are going to be making music that should ideally coexist with some digital, you know. And where video is going in some ways. Like you can create art that is completely different from anything that's been done in the past, the ability to represent somebody who isn't actually there. Right. Cool way to incorporate NFTs would be to sell the albums
Starting point is 01:43:29 with the cool unfoldable album art like they used to be. Yeah, yeah. Remember used to get a CD and you could see the track list and sometimes artwork. Like if they started doing that again. Yeah. That'd be dope. I could see Kendrick doing that. He's pretty fucking awesome, man.
Starting point is 01:43:43 He's rare. And that's why it's something like, you know, when I'm arguing in a group text over, like, who the best rapper alive is, like, there are a lot of rappers that you can make an argument for it, but like, I think it's totally disrespectful to have the conversation without Kendrick Lamar. I absolutely love the guy, so this is awesome. And on the music front, if you like awesome guitar and like you like psychedelic rock in any form or fashion, you go check out Sandy Bull. Go get the Vanguard Visionaries album. This is the first little shout out I'm giving any, any music in a little while. So this guy is fucking awesome. And some really bad news,
Starting point is 01:44:19 Willie Nelson's coming to Charlottesville, August 9th, dude. Montana so I'm gonna cry I'll be able to go of course you will of course you will you can get back I'll wear my
Starting point is 01:44:33 I'll wear my new Willie Nelson fan yeah sure yeah you'll be like huh you're sending me pictures like I love this Willie Nelson show I do like Willie Nelson
Starting point is 01:44:43 not as much as you he's awesome but it does suck the August 9th when I saw that call my heart sank what day is that Saturday I don't know but I might have to get back there you go that's the spirit for one night and then go back to monta yeah it's a long way dude life right a country song right life is one night only on the way there and back one night only
