You're just ridiculously stupid. Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! Is this Kevin? Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. Welcome, welcome, welcome.

Is this Kevin? Welcome back. Oh, yeah, man, how you doing? You good? I know you like that. I know you like that. How long you been back? Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.

We're back. It's another day of CCK. I'm back in quarantine for the day. Rockets still in Boston. Casey, are you in the office or what? I am in the office and we have a special guest also in the office. Who we got? Jay Henry?

Jay Henry in the building. You know what happened? So I came to the office. This is so insane of me. I came to the office and Gaz was looking at apartments. So he was like, could you bring my backpack to the office and gaz was looking at apartments so he was like could you bring my backpack to the office for me i don't want to lug it around all day i said sure and then i left like 20 minutes later and i was like that was this would be

crazy for me to carry two backpacks so i only chose one and i took gaz's so i don't even have i don't even have my laptop here if that if that does not exemplify john henry feidelberg i don't know what does oh i i'll just totally inconvenience myself and ruin my day because you asked me to do a ridiculous chore like i just don't know i gotta do something i gotta come on radio then sure and also i don't know if you've ever noticed gaz's backpack kevin but it is tiny i mean it's like the size of like a little tiny purse. There's no, it's like- It's obnoxiously small.

I could have worn that backpack for the rest of the week in showers to bed before I realized I was still wearing it. It's like, he said, lug it around. And when I saw it, I was like, wait, this isn't a backpack you lug around. It's smaller than like a normal purse that girls carry, quote, lug around the city. I should have just put it in my pocket and then carried my real backpack.

What is what is Gaz even carry around? What does Gaz need in this world? I don't think there's anything in the backpack. It's so light. It's crazy how light it is. And why couldn't he just wear it to go look at places? I don't know. I mean, of course.

What does Gaz need other than like a cell phone and a login to a social media account? He literally needs nothing else in the world. And also, I told John, what places is he looking at? You know, he's just going to end up like on the bottom floor of Dave's apartment. Like, he's absolutely just going to move into Dave's building. Like, why is he even looking anywhere else? So is it the end of an era, John? Is it the end of the Gaz-Feidelberg partnership?

Yeah. I mean, yeah. It's not a breakup. an era john is it the uh the end of the gaz feidelberg partnership yeah i mean i mean yeah there's it's not a breakup but yeah we'd always planned on on ending it this year we're adult men probably a little past time like so yeah yeah it had to have to, but, uh, I haven't started looking at places. I'll be homeless for about six months and then I'll finally decide like, all right, I should probably start looking at some places.

You'll be living up here with Mantis. Oh my God. Imagine that. Good Lord. Um, all right. So what do we got today? Uh, the Sean Jackson is, I don't know. I mean the biggest fucking idiot on the planet.

I don't, I don't even fully know the scope of that because there are certain guys in sports where I just can't be bothered by yet another Deshaun Jackson story. I'm just like, I don't know. What did he do this time? Are we really, is anybody surprised? Are we really going to get bent out of shape? Although I do got to say, when you make news with the big H, when Hitler's being thrown around with your social media antics I

think you've taken it to a new level so congrats to Deshaun Jackson who found a new way to even move the needle within the framework I almost don't believe this story because when I first heard it I was like there's no I figured like all right it must be like a quote that he didn't know who said it or whatever and then he just kind of had that quote written out. And then I saw what is, again, the alleged screenshot. I can't believe it's actually the screenshot. But it just says Hitler, colon. But I guess it's like it's not really Hitler.

But, I mean, all I know is it says Hitler. Like Hitler's highlighted, I think. We want you to know this is who said this. It was Hitler. Hitler. It says it starts off. Hitler said, comma, in big, bold letters, because the white Jews know that the Negroes are the real children of Israel to keep America's secret. The Jews will blackmail America.

I don't even know what his what he says. Anyone who feels I have hate for the Jewish community. Yeah, I believe I believe it was Farrakhan. But all, you know, same church, different pew, basically. And it's tough to then put up like a follow-up post saying, you know, I got no hate in my heart. Equality, equality. I mean, I don't. You should probably steer away from anything with Hitler in it.

Ever. Just ever. I don't actually away from anything with Hitler in it. Yeah, that's just a good when you when you have to hop on social media, when you hop on and you type D.E. Deshaun Jackson, Hitler fills up. That is tough. Not good. Like a good rule of thumb is you should always avoid situations where you can get auto filled with the name Hitler. That's just you never want that. Even Hitler can't get auto filled with hitler like

oh like as far as like like apple autocorrect goes like it's never gonna be like do you mean hitler like it's gonna give you the benefit of the doubt that it's somebody else isn't that a text message conversation we had over quarantine you were like mad apple doesn't i wasn't mad i just thought i thought it fascinating that like of all the words like no he's not a pronoun we're not you're very confused let's relax i was mad about it like case that was pounding john was so mad but they don't capitalize hitler how dare apple i believe does the final word you said recently you have a friend named adolf or a person named don't name Adolf? No, you don't. It's not a friend.

It's somebody. He's a friend of a friend. He would have been at a bachelor party with me in two weekends, I think. He goes by Adolf? I don't really call him. I think people call him his last name. I'm not going to say that.

Don't do that. It's a hit word. I feel like if you are given the name Adolf, you can never, ever put that anywhere. You immediately change it. I know his name. I know of his existence. And still, when I was looking at the bachelor party email list, I was like, it was a jar. It was possible. I mean, how do you do that to a kid?

How could you possibly name someone that like, you know, if you were born in in the 40s or something, it's like, oh, that's that's a tough break. That's just bad timing. But when you're like 30 years old, I mean, you can't. I'm not going to sit here and defend it. I'll tell you that. Yeah, that's a tough one from the mom and dad. Really? Jesus Christ.

Are you with us, Rocket? Yeah, I'm here. I'm actually I first. Tell you that. Yeah. That's a tough one from the mom and dad. Really? Jesus Christ. Uh, are you with us? Rocket? Yeah. Yeah. I'm here. I'm actually, I first,

when we started the show, I didn't know who Deshaun Jackson was. So I researched that. And then now I'm looking up what he said. Nobody better than you. Never changed. Dude, D Jax,

by the way, you gotta be like, like one of those. I forget. I can't even think of it. Oh, Aaron Kraft, right? Was he the guy who was at Ohio State forever? I feel like Deshaun Jackson's been in the NFL for 25 years.

I don't think I... How old is he? If Deshaun Jackson hadn't posted on social media about Adolf Hitler, I don't think I would know he was still in the NFL. I mean, the miracle of the Meadowlands feels like... He's only 33? 33 years old. What?

Really? What? Dude, the miracle of the Meadowlands feels like... He's only 33? 33 years old. Really? What? Dude, the miracle of the Meadowlands, I was definitely in diapers watching. Absolutely. He is two years older than you. That's what's wild, though. He's like a year older than me. I'm going to be 32 this year. That's what puts Mahomes' deal in perspective.

Think about how long... So Deshaun Jackson's probably been in the league then, what, maybe like 11 years? Like 10, 11 years, something like that? something like that so like like as long as that's felt that's what the situation will be i love you you can't be right he's older than tom brady i know number 1986 december 1st so he'll be 34 this year nope that is yeah you want to social yeah no that was i remember that game it was a big game when cal beat michigan uh back in the rose bowl i think he uh deshaun jackson had like three touchdowns that game brady couldn't keep up with him and you were like two years younger than him

no that game doesn't real that game i was making a joke about um i'm still i'm still looking at this i'm still deshaun jackson did not play Tom Brady, but I'm sure he did. I know he did it. It honestly feels entirely possible. You know, that's what I'm about to say. Like, my brain is still trying to wrap it around. Like, you could have told me that. And even as a college football person, like, yeah, that totally makes sense.

Sean Jackson's not 33 years old. He's not 33. He can't be. And like to be. I know he's not like a running back or in the trenches or something, but like fairly productive for a long fucking time. Headaches aside and antics aside, like to be still out there is is fucking wild for for a guy. I mean, especially for a little guy. I mean, like Casey just ran out of the radio studio to pet a dog.

I mean, Erica's dog. It's a beautiful dog, but she just got up and ran out of the studio. I mean, like a child. Just like, look, puppy. Look at the balloon. Looks like a lion. Yeah, her dog is a big fucking dog. The dog is definitely the cutest thing out there, but Brandon Walker is sitting out in the, I don't know what he's doing, sitting out there in the lobby just eating by himself.

He looks like. Doesn't he do that all the time? He looks like Steven Glansberg every time he does it. It looks awful. I just was out of curiosity how old he thought Deshaun Jackson was, and he said 35, so he was closer. Crazy. And Branton being that far off, being a college football genius.

He's not a savant. Don't give him that much credit. He knows a lot of shit. He's memorized quite a few things. Yeah, that's because Jacks for you. I mean, he knows a lot. Don't give him that much credit. He knows a lot of shit. He's memorized quite a few things. Yeah, that's because that's all he does. He just sits at home and reads trivia books. I mean, I don't know. I just took a shot of bread and he didn't.

Poor son of a bitch is getting roasted for no reason. He's not the one who brought up Hitler. Calm down. So as long as the show and Jackson's been around, that's how long you could potentially get Patrick Mahomes for. It looks like the Sean Jackson plays football. Well, rocket, are you, are you almost like, I mean, I remember with Kyler Murray,

you had your like football versus baseball rivalry. Are you now like mad that a football player is finally atop the the charts for most uh richest sports contract ever baseball no longer holds the crown is that my homes yeah that's patrick mahomes he's a quarterback in the nfl jared he plays for the yeah no i know him yeah he's a true bull girlfriend's annoying yep uh i think um with 503 million yeah that's that's a lot of money. But how much of it is guaranteed? He has 140 million dollar injury guarantee, which does that mean?

Like, if he gets injured, he gets 140 million just like pow. I believe so. But there are a lot of words in even those little tweets. By the way, I was reading something recently that had some lawyers speaking. Lawyers need to fucking chill out. Chill. Well, no,

no, it's brilliant because they do, they do that. Cause that's how they're indispensable. It's like no one else can read our language. It's just, it's just annoying nonsense. I just use regular words,

but when they were talking about like the, what were they? The incentive mechanisms, the guarantee mechanisms. That's bullshit. That was made up 24 hours ago. A hundred percent. I mean,

I, I do think it's, it's a completely like new contract where they were like, we're going to give you an obscene amount of money, but it's going to have to have all different types of clauses and incentives and all sorts of shit. I bet you there's like some stuff in that contract that's never been in anybody else's contract. He's probably like setting a new bar,

but I don't know what the total number of guaranteed is, Jared. Well, I have the piece of paper in front of me, so I have no idea if it's right or not. But it says 10-year extension worth $477 million and then $503 million with incentives. And then it all breaks it all down. But that's, I mean, it's almost a billion dollars. And that is always the difference between the difference between football and baseball. Baseball and everybody is the guaranteed money.

It's not going to be close to $500 guaranteed, but it's probably like $200, right? It's probably still a number that nobody else... It's like a fucking utility infielder. It really is. We were filming KFC or recording KFC Radio yesterday when it kind of finally utility infielder. It really is. It really, we were looking at, we were,

we were filming KFC or recording KFC radio yesterday when it kind of finally broke. And we were looking at the top hundred paid athletes right now. I think the a hundred contracts right now. And like, I mean, it's like Chris Middleton is pretty close to the top. It's crazy,

dude. It's crazy. It's like top 30 active contracts. Besides my home or American sports. I think we saw like besides my homes, the next highest football player was Khalil Mack at like, what was it like 54 or something? No, he was even for,

I think Matt Ryan was in the 60s. All right. Matt Ryan Wilson is second, I believe. And then Matt Ryan is third. Crazy. I mean, it's just for,

you know, Mike to, to put, put a guaranteed money aside. I do know that that's obviously the most important thing, but to, to eclipse Mike Trout numbers, who is like Babe Ruth and in a league where it's laughable,

how much they get paid to be in a sport and discount. Well, right. But, but I mean, which, why, which, why do that? Why would you take a discount, by the way? For the fucking angels? To stay where he wanted.

Yeah, he wanted to stay. Stay out west coast. I don't think that they are in the ones in the position to be like, well, if you want to stay here, you're going to have to take less. I think it should have been, you got to pay a premium for me to stay here because this organization stinks. Yeah, I agree. I think they had to do do to protect the conspiracy theory that mike trout's a real person by the way on on mike trout being like i've gone back and forth over the years of like he's not charismatic enough well what do you want

him to do that's just not his personality back to being like but are you really that fucking boring can you not muster up some sort of uh like energy i don't know where i fall anymore i used to not blame him now i kind of i'm not gonna blame a guy forever not being like himself but it is it's almost bizarre to be how can you be that good at something particularly a professional sport and not have like any sort of swagger or, or like personality at all. Doesn't those things kind of go hand in hand? No. Like when you're, when you're in little league and you're hitting dingers, when you're, when

you're the strongest rocket throwing no-nos, then you go get hand jobs in the parking lot of Buffalo Wild Wings. Cause you're the fucking man. That's how it works. Right. Yeah. That is how it works. But I would much rather have Mike Trout be who he is, which is just like super boring.

And then like own that and say something along the lines of, well, my job isn't to be this personality. My job is to play baseball and I'm the best baseball player on planet Earth. Like that's fine, because then when you have the superstar players that force a personality and it comes across as super phony, then what do you get is a rod? And then everyone. Yeah. For that. So, well, no, I'm not saying he should ever be something he's not. I'm just saying he shouldn't be who he is. That makes sense. You don't

find fucking weather patterns to be entertaining to you guys? That's what I mean. He's trying to be boring. I don't know. His personality isn't what fuels the conspiracy theory. Mine is that I don't think I've ever seen him hit a home run. I know. It's crazy. And that's just a fact.

He just never watched a game that he's played. I don't think I've ever seen him. That's right. But he plays West Coast baseball. I think he's only played Fenway. He played West Coast baseball. It's not a matter of that he plays on the West Coast. He's boring.

And also never making the playoffs. You're never on a national scale. He did. I don't think I've ever seen a lot like that. He made the playoffs. What? He played, what, rookie year or second year? Yeah, he's like one. Yeah, like 2012 or something. But also, Griffey,

like, when he was hitting home runs, like, you had to watch SportsCenter to see all that stuff. Like, John's not sitting around watching SportsCenter for Mike Trout home runs. I mean, I've seen him hit home runs on Twitter. Don't get me wrong. But I don't think I've ever, watching live, seen Mike Trout hit a home run. No, I don't think I've ever seen Have you ever watched Mike Trout live? I think I watched him play the Sox when they came to Fenway

and I don't think he had a home run that game. And I think the whole narrative in that series was that Fenway was the only ballpark he hadn't homered in yet. Right. So maybe he did end up hitting one of that series. But I don't believe I was watching when it happened if it did. By the way, just going back to, I just looked up Ian Rapoport, what a guaranteed mechanism is. Did you guys actually look up what this is? No.

Okay. So it's's 477 million guaranteed of the 503 and basically if yes so he gets 477 million in guaranteed mechanisms and a guaranteed mechanism and this is ian's tweet basically the team guarantees patrick mahomes salary a year out and if they don't pick up each guarantee they have to cut him to avoid picking up a future guarantee so 477 of the 503 is guaranteed or they have to cut him but I'm not going to pretend to understand

what you just said but they could cut him but they could cut him so then it's not really guaranteed so then they're not guaranteed but it would have to be he would have to have just like absolutely fallen off a fucking cliff for them to just cut him. Right.

Right. But I mean, tomorrow he goes out and blows out his leg like they can cut him. Well, right. And then that's where the injury. Yeah. So a 477 million in guarantee. I mean, I can see him getting cut in six or seven years to save $200 million. There's no way that this lasts the full 12 years.

I don't know. He's 24 years old. I mean, yeah. He's 24. It's a good point by me. He's only 24. Being 36 years old in the league is, I mean. Quarterback, yeah.

How old was Brady? I keep forgetting 24. How old was Brady when he won his first? 23, I think. Motherfucker. I forget. He was a little... What's crazy, I was going to say that the difference is that Mahomes already has one.

He might have been 24. He was 24. That's nuts. So it's not even like you can say... It's not crazy. No, but it's not even like you can say. It's not crazy. No, but it's not even like you can say Patrick Mahomes is like ahead of Brady's pace or anything. Like he's got to do what Brady has done. He has to play to lose like 40.

He's got to win two of the next three just to keep pace. Right. I mean, that's disgusting. It's just disgusting. Now, the difference is, though, like there was that weird drought in between where I think where Tom Brady wasn't taking steroids and cheating and stuff like that, where they just didn't do anything. And I can't. He's still winning. I don't know.

He's though when they weren't winning Super Bowls, he was winning. Which is why I mean, I keep trying to find this angle of like how, you know, Mahomes is in like a better spot, but he's really not. It's just like you can he can play at this MVP level for the, it's disgusting how long Tom Brady's been around. Cause like, like, so, so Tom Brady's how old now?

42, 42, 40, it'll be 43 in August. So we're talking roughly, roughly like if I watched Patrick Mahomes for 20 more years at the, at almost the same level, not,

I mean, you know, he's doing things in the first couple of years years that nobody's done, but Brady's done things that nobody's done before, too. If we just watch this happen for the next two decades, until I'm 50 fucking 5? Until I'm

55? Then you're part of the argument. Then you just get it in the front door. Maybe he's a GOAT. Then I'd know and then i would be like okay now he moves on to a new team like who knows that's why that this patrick mahomes contract is even crazier because it's like if he was in his late 20s like okay yeah like 10 year 12 year deal whatever like yeah they're not gonna play that out like he's gonna potentially get another contract when he's

done with this massive 503 million dollar one that's crazy it's smart though i think it's smart i mean like he is that good and uh you know you're already kind of set up i don't know what when they say no percentage of the salary cap what does that mean yeah does that mean like it's good for the right like uh the the team like is he is he not a massive cap hit? Because that's always the rub. That's always the problem. That's why Brady has been fucking basically cheating the whole time.

Because it's like he never needed the money because he had a sugar mama. But anybody, if you're a quarterback, you basically have to decide between getting paid and like your team being good or great. I don't understand what Mahomes did. But like I saw one thing to say, like his that said his cap hit next year went up $30,000. Jesus. He's done a rookie cap hit next year. I also saw that he's going to make, over the next three years, he makes like $64 million, where Tannenholm will make like $90 million. So in the next few years, even, he's still grossing out.

So they did one of those three to five, like, we got a window now. And then after that, you're probably fucked. So it says it's more seen as a team-friendly deal because in the short term, it's more in line with what's expected for other first-round quarterbacks than it might seem. So the Cowboys and the Texans and what they would pay somebody potentially.

Yeah, I mean, the Chiefs need to win three of the next four and then be like, we're done. I think even at the end of the deal, that's when it'll get cut because I think it tapers off. They'll probably just, like, not cut, but they'll probably just renegotiate it. Because at the end of the deal, I remember looking like Ilya Kovalchuk's deal. Remember the deal that even the NHL, which was famous for ridiculous deals at that time, even the NHL was like, guys, I mean, we can't. What is this? It was like a 17-year deal where, like, in the last six years, he was making, guys, we can't do this. What is this? It was like a 17-year deal where in the last six years,

he was making like $2 a year. It was such an absurd deal. In 2027, he'll be making $60 million a year. So pretty much the NFL apparently is expecting a lot of TV money to come in, and that is not going to change at all. So it won't change. They're saying the percentage hit on the salary cap no matter how much money

it doesn't change. The NHL, the deal at the time, if I remember correctly it was your annual average was just what the salary cap hit was. It wasn't like a per year cap hit. So if you backloaded and it just cut you then it's like you know you spread

that cap hit over all those years yeah it was like i mean that's blatantly cheating your deal like i mean you know it's some gm like like saw this loophole and was like we're fucking doing it and the league was like no you're not allowed to you know but that's why the jared i mean so ultimately you can say the actual only guarantee for sure is the 140, right? That's the only thing like, you know, we don't know anything else is going to happen. We do know we'll get $140 million. So yeah, maybe trout and baseball is still king. five handle on the 500 or 60 in an annual value like when nobody's making 40 and you go past 50 and on to 60 60 i mean that is dollars and honestly it's probably more uh like i think

that players value across like all sports really especially the quarterback position i think the value has has increased faster than like the inflation rate if that makes sense like if the amount of money like he'll generate 60 is probably more reasonable than like 20 we're just not used to that number but it's probably more realistic if i was him i'd consider having a lawnmower uh run over my leg and just be like go out go out as like you got your guaranteed you got like people say he's already a Hall of Famer. You're already a Hall of Famer. And like now you don't have to live up to this deal because this is like a life changing deal that like is going to be held over your head for the next decade.

I'll just take this injury, take this injury guarantee and I'll be on my way. That's the difference between people like me and you, Feidelberg. I'd be like all right let's get this injury thing going like for 10 i know for the next 10 years of my life people are going to talk about how i have the biggest contract and all this stuff i want the money i don't want everyone talking about me about it you know what this is like this is like when when a rod signed that 252 in te Texas, it was almost too much money because it was so much bigger. It was like double or like $100 million higher.

It was exactly double. I think Kevin Garnett had the biggest contract, and A-Rod wanted to make sure that his biggest contract in pro sports history was exactly double what the previous biggest was. And what did that get him? A lot of money, but also like a bullseye on his back for being a total asshole about it. And also he won a bunch of MVPs. Yeah, but, but,

but what's better winning an MVP or just being this legend for the rest of your life where it was like, Oh, well we could have had in Pat Mahomes if he didn't, he didn't trip in front of that lawnmower. Cause you already have the money now, too. But he's only 24, though. The legend only stinks when you kind of also have to work at mobile.

He doesn't have to work at mobile anymore. And he keeps the legend. No, John. No. He needs to get hurt, and he can just go back to Texas Tech and just be, you know, like a fucking ambassador. He waves a flag before the games. I don't even know why I said sell cars. He doesn't have to sell

cars. He doesn't have to do anything. He doesn't have to do a single thing. He just throws guns up all the time. Imagine what he's going to get when he goes back to Lubbock. He'll live a great life there. Forget it. I mean, it is a amount of money, though.

I hope, like, Dave and Eric are listening. So it's like, all right, we're going to give John Feidelberg this massive contract extension, and then he's going to put his fingers in a garbage disposal. Can never blog again. And my tongue in an electric socket. He doesn't need his hands as much. You know what? I'll take the guaranteed.

If Feidelberg was to put those fucking hooves down a garbage disposal, I think his paws would win. I think he'd break the garbage disposal. What happened over there? I just pulled out my hand. Nothing. It's good. Fucking thing's a piece of shit.

Oh, my God. Let's hit a little break here. I'll tweet out the number. We'll get to some calls going. And on the other side of the break, I think the person who benefits and also suffers the most from the Patrick Mahomes contract here on CCK featuring fights. Patrick Mahomes. Man, I feel like money.

Man, I feel like money. Dance back into me. I'm a vodka guy. I drink vodka. Okay, it's like E in entourage. What does he say? Like, I'm an adult. I drink vodka.

That's why I also picked New Amsterdam vodka because it's the highest quality, best tasting, triple, quadruple, quintuple distilled, affordable vodka on the market. And they team up with us. They team up with the chiclets gang. They team up with the NHL in general, uh,

to deliver you some of the best drinks and flavored vodkas on the market. New Amsterdam has the pink Whitney, which is the, uh, I believe literally financially, uh, statistically speaking, the most successful liquor of all time.

Uh, their vodka, we've been drinking it for years now at our Super Bowl houses and all over the Barstool office. The New Amsterdam regular vodka is as quality as you're going to get. It comes in a nice, sleek looking bottle. I can appreciate the packaging, the taste, the price,

and the fact that they're willing to get down with Barstool, and Chicklets says that they know what's up, and they know where the world is headed. So you know that they're out here trying to provide the best vodka and the best time and the best drink to the world. So go get yourself some New Amsterdam vodka. Go get yourself some Pink Whitney and let the good times roll this summer.

I want you to stop what you're doing right now. Head over to the Barstool Sports Store and grab yourself some new My Mom's Basement gear. Your boy Bob Fox put out this new hoodie this new line of clothes actually for my mom's basement that's tie-dye mixed with this new like a little logo character he's got it's like a bar stool with these two eyes that look like he's looks like bob's eyes when he's super stoned uh i think he's calling him stoolie the stoolie that's his nickname and uh with this like green and yellow tie dye, it's absolute heat. So I want you to go over there and support Bob Fox, support my mom's basement and support your

wardrobe with a brand new fire hoodie. Uh, also I've got, um, some new Viva brand stuff coming out, my own tie dye line for guys and girls. We got a new quilted coming out. We've got crop tops. We've got matching tops and bottoms, uh, along with the new speckled t-shirt a lot of cool shit from the viva brand as well of course everything else from all the other podcasts and all the other clothing lines at the barstool store go to store.barstoolsports.com check it out I love how he's back behind the board for this return music. It's a great pick by him. Loving it.

We got good vibes going. Patrick Mahomes is rich. You're poor. And that's just the way of the world. You should see your idiot podcast co-host right now just trying to dance. I don't know what's going on. Nobody needs to see that. Nobody needs to see that. I don't know what's going on. Nobody needs to see that. I don't know if he's like bumping and grinding

the microphone. I don't know what he's doing. Do you think baseball is going to happen? Did you see that shit in LA? What shit in LA? That they fucking shut down. So Dodgers Stadium was the largest COVID test site in LA County,

and they closed it for a Dodgers intramural game. And everyone is like, are you fucking kidding me? Like, you can't be allowed to do that. Holy shit. It's about as bad press as you could possibly get, I think. They shut it down for like two days, so the Dodgers could play the intramural scrimmage.

I mean, they gotta get their fucking reps in. You know what I'm just thinking? I don't know how many places how many stadiums do you think are the testing site? I didn't even know that that was a thing. If it's a lot, then they're fucked. You can't just be like,

nah, no one gets to get tested today. We're playing. I'm just picturing that they shut down a whole COVID testing site so that baseball players can do that sprint where they like wiggle their hips at the same time. You know what I mean? Like they're just playing long toss and running the bases while people are

outside. Like, can you test us for this disease, please? Everyone's doing karaoke karaoke across the field. I mean, they have this bad press every step of the way, John. I just don't think they care. I think it's just

like, well, we're a bajillion dollar industry and this is going to happen. I think this one I would think, this is a bad one. You can't just be like, think about the biggest testing site in LA County has to be one of the biggest testing sites in the country. Absolutely. And you're just like, no one gets to use it. No, we site in L.A. County has to be one of the biggest testing sites in the country. Absolutely.

And you're just like, yeah, no one gets. No, we got to play intramurals. No. Now, wait. No one gets. When people are saying you got to throw them curveballs, buddy. When we say that, like dingers, when we say there's no chance there's going to be baseball or it's not going to happen. What is that?

What would that really mean, Jared? Would that mean like players like the Players Association would have to come out and be like we are officially uncomfortable would that be something from like the government would it be manfred's call like who would actually shut it down because the more and more i think about it logically it probably shouldn't happen but also logically once you get the ball rolling who is going to be nobody wants to be the guy who pushes the button to say this is over so i almost feel like the fact that it started like it's just gonna have to happen no matter like how catastrophic it might be because i don't think that anybody will step up and actually pull the plug yeah i mean like it's it's gonna be a tough call because manfred's working for the owners and the owners want to

make money um but they also know that they're losing money by even putting on a season in the first place um i i think because like what we saw on the 4th of July, like a guy like David Price opting out where he's in his mid 30s. He's got a wife, two little kids at home. He's already won his World Series, won his Cy Young Award. He has nothing left to prove. And obviously, like the injury history in recent years, like I would not be surprised at all if you start seeing like veteran guys that have nothing left to prove or they've already got their money and whatever injury history. And it's like, well, I can risk it. But for what? Like I can kind of like take these like two, three months off and just come back next year since, you know, you can already chalk it up as like a lost season.

Once like players start opting because there's no deadline either to opt out so it could just get to the point where guys are like fuck this like i'm out and then they just either run out of players or it's like a mutual decision where it's like is this even really worth it at this point do you think but we said it yesterday i gotta say this real quick what i would have done david price opt out while still on the Red Sox. Oh my God. Whoa, baby. Would that have got me going?

That would have been like, cause it is, it's arguably the right move, but boy would Boston people have been mad about it. So I would have had like a big David Price's good couple of nights just fighting with every motherfucker. I said on KC radio, maybe my favorite line from Feidelberg ever. He said, I don't argue anymore.

I don't do it. I don't argue with anybody. I argue for two things. Took a rask at David Price. That's it. That is the only thing that gets John out of bed in the morning. I'm just going to say that. David Price opting out because of coronavirus gets me the fuck out of bed

with a hard on. What's going to happen? One day those two guys are going to retire, and we're going to have to throw, like, a formal arguing retirement party for you. Like, it'll just never happen again. Those are my only two left. Would you have been just, like, calling into Felger,

just, like, screaming at him? I would have been calling. I've been waiting outside in the parking lot. I don't want to make content out of this. This is just between me and you, buddy. I said that if you're Mookie Betts, you should opt the fuck out right now. Don't even consider this.

But then I also thought, why not just wait until they actually cancel this because there's no way it happens, and then you don't even have to be the guy who catches heat for opting out. But the more and more i think of it i just i just don't think that what's that that would be hilarious if mookie opted out after the trade and then just didn't resign with i mean i i think he's an insane person if he doesn't this will do this year will be remembered as a fake year so winning a world series winning an mvp that's not really

gonna matter in the public eye but if you get hurt, if you tear an ACL and you miss your $400 million deal for a fake season, that's crazy. Crazy. Do you think, I mean, do you think that like the image hit he would take would be worse than potentially losing out on like a $400 million deal, Jared? I don't think he would take an image hit. I don't think he has much of an image, really. Like it's not the Mookie Betts isn't some massive like image guy, like nationally or not yet. I guess I think that's the point.

You know, he like he's about to, you know, he's going to, he's hopefully going to hit that point in his career soon. So why jeopardize it now? You dummy. I don't feel like you can get. Oh, you mean if he doesn't opt out? I think if he does opt out, there will be people being like, you know, you should play for the fans. You should do it for America.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't. I think this is a particular situation where it would be understood. Yeah. With everything going on, people would be like, I get it. It sucks, but I get it. It's a fucking stupid season. Dodger fans won't say that.

Probably not. Dodger fans won't even notice. dodger fans won't say that probably not dodger fans won't even notice dodger fans aren't real they don't exist fucking dodger fans yeah i mean i what would you do if you can't go out to the stadium and take a picture with a dodger dog then guess what dodger fans don't exist and they happen and you're right suck by the way oh my god it was one of those like superstitious things where we were in la and like i had the dodger dog the first night so i had to have it every night and i was like this this hot dog it's just a hot dog right no it's a fucking piece of shit wrapped up in whatever a hot dog's made out of so it's like look a world series is pretty good but i don't know if it's worth it here if i have to keep eating dodger dog yeah i mean what would you do if you were him i i don't know i feel like if you're mookie

uh you're you're gonna want to at least go out there like i feel like it would be a bad look because i mean he he does have a a baby mama and a new baby at home. So it's like, I don't know, he would have the excuse to where, like, if he did opt out, he doesn't have to tell people, like, hey, I'm about to come up on, like, a huge free agent deal. And I want to protect my body. I don't want to play the season. He can play the card of, like, I got a baby mama and a fucking baby at home. So I don't know. I don't think his interest would take a hit.

I think that would skate. There would probably be, like, some talk show hosts who tried to make a big deal out of it but i think the public at large would even if they didn't believe you totally would be like okay fine yeah if you have a family at all i feel like you get a free pass who would be the biggest domino in baseball jared who would be the biggest player if you opted out trout you think trout would be the one yeah i mean if the best player in the game is like i i don't feel safe then everyone else is gonna be like oh that was a weird instagram post from his mom by the way right yeah yeah if mike trout can wear a mask say my son i know it's i mean i know you i know you're tagging him like she was using his at but

it's weird to say if mike trout can oh she uses that no if she uses that i i changed my mind i thought she just had mike trout out it does it does it did still read funny i remember thinking that it's like it's even she calls him mike trout i feel like like he comes home she's like hi mike she didn't even call him mike and then just put his tag at the end of the caption i'm convinced that you know the entire trout family are robots and androids so who knows they've you know uh i i would actually i would make the argument that I think a I think you would need a like a Yankee or a I guess maybe a Dodger like a contending team would need to have like a baron judge step down.

I would say Aaron Judge feels like just because he's so much more known outside of the baseball world. Like people that don't follow baseball. Like the Angel. Aaron Judge doesn't need to opt out though. Like he doesn't have, he's going to do it. And his,

his girlfriend's out driving drunk. She's probably not even home. So it's like, I feel like Garrett Cole is probably the guy. I mean, well, yeah, fine.

Because we all, I mean, here's the thing. Uh, Aaron Judge opts out of every season, like half the season every time. Yeah. So we don't,

you know, it's not up to him. He doesn't have to make the decision. It's just going to happen anyway. So, uh, but yeah, I think if one of those,

it'd be interesting to see if like, if Garrett Cole was like, I got a brand new kid. I'm just like my, my time here in New York, like kind of like David price. Like I haven't even started with you guys. We have a lot of years ahead.

Let's just put this on hold. And then I wonder if other players would be like, all right, if he's doing it, I'm fucking out. Yeah. And especially and especially like you know when you look at your chances it's like well the yankees aren't really that good so they got garrett cole because they couldn't get past the astros and it's like well if we don't have the guy that we signed to get past the astros obviously we're not going to win and then other guys are just going to start

shutting it down like fuck it let's just pack it in because we're a garbage team again yeah like we know we can't win uh so if you were Mookie, you would play. You would at least get out there and test it out. Yeah, I mean, I feel like if you're Mookie Betts and you want that $400 million deal, which obviously that's what he's looking for, I feel like you've got to go out there. I feel like you've got to go out there.

And I think if you're a potential, um, if you're, if you're a suitor for Mookie bets and you see him kind of, I mean, but there's no way to prove that he's shutting it down to like protect himself. You know what I mean?

Like, there's no way to prove that. If that were like the reason where it was like sources, like sources close to Mookie bets say that he opted out because he just didn't want to play. It's like, you know what I would do? I would have my sources leak that I got it.

As soon as I got uncomfortable, I would just tell people I have coronavirus. We can just go get it. It's not that hard to go get it. You don't actually want to get it. I just want that to be my excuse. But the problem is, then you just quarantine for two weeks, and then people expect

you to play again, right? No, but I think once you have it, I think you can have it for like a month. Yeah, and I feel like there's people like the long-term effects, Von Miller talking about his lungs. I mean, I guess people would say, well, then you don't have anything to worry about anymore, but I don't know if that – I feel like it would just be easier to be like, this is stupid. I'm standing up for the other players, so they don't have to get it.

Whatever it may be, I think you have a little bit more leeway to choose wherever you want. Casey, what would you do if you were Patrick Mahomes' girlfriend? What do you mean? I mean, there's a lot of pressure on this girl right now. Let's call a spade a spade. I know I'd love to think that love is real and they've been together forever and they're going to stay together forever and all that shit.

And God willing, I hope it happens. But when you are 24, which at that age, relationships are bound to to not last anyway. They've been together forever, though. All the more reason, though. Don't you see? I don't know. I've been with one person my whole life. It's time for me to, like, branch out and live a little regardless of I mean, people do that when they don't sign a 500 million dollar contract.

Yes, I understand what you're saying, but I would feel differently about it if they met his last year at Texas Tech or something, and then they're just riding out the wave of his first few years in the NFL. I think they've been together since they were like 16 years old, right? That's so crazy. That is such a bad idea. I'm not talking about money. I'm not talking about fame. It's just a bad idea in general to do that. That's crazy. I felt like whenever people were saying after he won the super bowl it's like all right well this is probably going to be it for them and he they just continue to be at least on social media we all know that's not always true seems like they're very happy together i don't feel like the pressure

is that high on if you marry someone you met when you were 16 that means in your lifetime you probably bumped into about 40 romantic suitors before going that's about it i've seen enough this is the one dude i mean not even 40 no not even if you think so like you think middle school to high school 40 no i think you bumped no like zero yeah i just mean people your age like girls your age oh that's like romantic suitors right like pretend yeah okay i see what you mean because i was gonna say you know when i was 16 i had i had probably like kissed a girl no i don't mean like you kissed or made out right hooked up with a potential you've been in the same room as someone who was like, it would make even remotely. It's basically like who all the girls who are in like your homeroom class, because you're still that young.

I'm counting the whole school. Cause you gotta be at least on a similar attractiveness level. Right. So you're cutting it. That's true. Half off there. Right. And then you got to cut off whatever X percentage because they're lesbians.

And then, so I'm talking to like actual people you could have ended up with. Patrick, my home is a pie met 30 of them. That's crazy. And it's a horrible idea. And he, and listen,

Texas tech, a lot of really good looking girls and guys out there. And Texas tech loves to fucking party. That's like what they're the best at. Yeah. But I also think, guess what? If you survived to Texas tech with the starting quarterback, you can survive. That's right. That's what I'm saying. That's exactly what they're the best at. Yeah. But I also think, guess what? If you survived to Texas tech with the starting quarterback,

you can survive. That's right. That's what I'm saying. That's exactly what I'm saying. Or New York or Miami or something. Yeah. It's the, that's my whole point.

If you can survive being the starting quarterback at a place like Texas tech, and you still are head over heels in love with this girl, I think they're probably good. You know what? I just read. They've been, they've been together from since their early days in high school.

That's crazy. It actually helps like the internet myself included was being so rude about it like people posting pictures of a of somebody poking a hole in a condom people posting pictures of russell wilson and his first girlfriend and then his pictures with ciara i think it almost like like if patrick mahomes leaves her he's a bad guy you know what i mean like i think it actually makes their they're gonna last longer because people are being assholes about it because now he's always twitter going bananas about it yeah and it's like even even if i wanted to now i can't do that then well even whenever even whenever she like people realized who she was like outside of the college football world like whenever she became like known as his girlfriend people were

fucking awful about it on twitter because they were like she's not hot enough for him. She starts posting bikini photos to try to offset that. People were so mean to her. He's a fascinating for being such a pretty much Steph Curry-esque where he's pretty well liked by everybody.

He does have some fascinating aspects to him between the girlfriend and the brother. What happened with these two? Jackson and girlfriend are like very active on social media and when you put yourself out there you know there's just gonna be assholes and the opposing fans are gonna be dickheads no matter what they're gonna take every angle they can get and then in this case that you know people just took it way too far regardless they were so mean to her for just like I don't think I knew that I think I knew she yelled a lot, but I didn't know it was like, no,

it was before even that it was before she became. And I think Kevin, right. Didn't she get like ridiculed for her looks long before she became like super active on social media. Like, I think that it was just like, as soon as people figured out that that was Patrick Mahomes,

girlfriend, they just like killed her on social media for not being hot enough. I'm like, fuck you guys post whoever you're dating or married to. Right. And then she became the person she isn't. i don't know i wonder like if you're asking me should i because i am are you asking i should like just know every single person i've got like my rolodex like let me check yes or no what do you want me to do text carl lenz and ask him

i mean i feel like if he is it's not not overly so. Cause I think, I think, you know, that about an athlete now, if it's like, if they're like super, super religious, I don't necessarily know if that's true. No. Cause I mean, is it in his Twitter bio that he's not overly religious? Yeah. Does he have like a Corinthians proverb or some shit? That doesn't mean you're overly religious. Like, I mean like Kevin Durant, you wouldn't say is overly religious.

And like, he's one of Carl's best friends and big time in Hillsong. You wouldn't know that. I had no idea he was in Hillsong so okay you're right proven wrong let's go to a couple calls here we got Taylor in Long Island talking about Mahomes what's up Taylor what's up guys

Pat Mahomes of course has a ton of fucking money now so I always talk I love talking about like you know if you win the lottery what's the first thing you'd get so he has 500 fucking million to his name what would be your first thing you know, if you win the lottery, what's the first thing you'd get? So he has 500 fucking million to his name. What would be your first thing you would buy if you were Pat Mahomes? Well, what's weird is when he... A lawnmower, John.

A lawnmower. I love it. A lawnmower with a self-driving button i mean the most the most cliche answer and of course like the answer that none of us are going to say because we don't i mean you pay off all your family's debt right and then what's the next thing that you do that's like the nice person answer there was a study that came out the other day and the new york post tweeted it that said like money can buy you happiness and it's like yeah no fucking kidding But I also think that like there's nothing that Patrick Mahomes can buy tangible that will beat what he already has in in his reputation. I think that he's bulletproof. He's talented.

He's well liked. And it's like, what would you what could you buy that's better than that? Well, I guess just for his sake, you know, fucking buy the cheap so you fucking own it. You're the quarterback and you're the fucking man. You can do whatever the fuck you want. You can go get who you want. You don't have to

fucking play if you don't want to. I guess he's about 7 to 10 of these contracts short of buying the cheap. He needs to be 500 mil liquid about like 10 times over before you can come to a minority owner or, or, you know,

get some big chunk of it. You know, I do wonder what, I do wonder if that can happen one day. I know that when we talked to Faye Vincent, uh, he was talking about how players wanted to get a piece of equity in like the franchises they play for. And I think that that would probably be like the end of like a free like the free agency world

that we know it as like you couldn't have like equity all over town but i do wonder if select guys like a mahomes or like a trout or like a brady could have been like did faye vincent did he talk about at all like the players ever getting a piece of basically the other businesses the owner owns? Yes. Yeah, that's exactly what he's saying. So, OK, because like, like, like, Foxborough is officially the town that Tom Brady built, like Patriot Place. That's all built on Tom Brady's back. Fact.

That never went into his contract discussions because. No. And like the team, I understand. The Patriots are going to go on for a zillion years, the team itself. but the things around it that tom brady did i feel like you should have got paid on what there's a literal city there now that was it was it was an empty town parking lot and now there's like a fucking city surrounding gillette stadium all of that was built on tom brady fay vinson was talking about and bill belichick and getting um getting getting a piece of MLB TV, MLB, like the app, getting a piece of jersey sales, getting a piece of everything that's basically not the team and the game itself. That's what they wanted to get equity in.

So basically, you're getting equity in the institution of baseball, really, which makes sense. But I also think it makes sense for certain guys. And that's where I don't know where you could draw the line like i don't think some schmo who's up here for like a cup of coffee deserves like a 0.001 percent of anything but even like that cornerstone of the franchise you do it's obviously like a patriot places reference i keep using that's the one i go to but i think most stadiums now have basically surrounding towns of sorts where it's like bars and things like that. I know that in Arlington,

the Cowboy Stadium has that. There was like nothing. I mean, they had the Rangers ballpark, but now they've got hotels. Do you remember the reports that we're talking about? How the fucking cities that like entire cities would be affected with if LeBron James left or.

Yes. Yeah. I mean, because that's in Cleveland is one in particular, too, that I happen to have been to where like around the queue of, I believe it's still called the quick and loans arena, but around there,

it's like a cool neighborhood. That is all definitely Dan Gilbert's property. And he rents them out to bars and stuff like that. But like Dan Gilbert definitely makes a shitload of money on the calves billion percent. The calves don't get money for billion percent in their context. And that's all because LeBron made it cool to like come to the games. So that kind of shit,

I think is like, not only so, like, even though I feel like even the little players should get money for that because you're on the team. It's the, it's yes, it's the superstar is the star,

but like you're on the team and that is what's driving people to this area of time. How long though? Yeah. Like that. I mean, I think that's, would be the,

it would have to, I don't know. I, I just think that maybe all the owner's money has to be factored in. Yeah for how long, though? I mean, I think that would be the... I don't know. I just think that maybe all the owner's money has to be factored in. All the money you make on real estate around the neighborhood, all that money has to be factored into what a salary cap is.

So I'm not saying you belong in equity, you deserve equity in it, but that should all come in. The contract should be higher, is what I'm saying. What I can't wait for is when Uncle Stevie Cohen comes in and he just revamps that whole fucking shithole and flushing. Gets rid of all the chop shops and puts in hotels and clubs and fucking state-of-the-art 5G next-level futuristic cities. Stevie's coming in.

I believe he's expected to bid on Thursday. Oh, really? So this is like Big Back. Oh, he's Big Back. Yo, let's not get it twisted. Steve Cohen is buying the Mets. Big Back. That is a 100% guaranteed lock.

Take it to the bank, and I'm never wrong on those. I hope whatever his winning bid is, it's significantly less than the first one that he submitted. I bet you it'll be $2 billion, which which is 600 million less so but it does sound like and i don't know how they're getting away with this and i don't know why anybody is doing this uh they will not they're not selling sny so you do not get the tv which is like well then what the fuck are you doing so i have hopes that steve cohen is going to buy this shit and swoop in and somehow make like Cohen TV. And he's just like, yes.

And why does it like SNY is just loudmouth rerun and beer money rerun. But the actual games are going to be played on Cohen TV, because if I know that, dude, he's not going to like he's not going to let you get away with like not including the most valuable piece of the deal. Unless it just unless the price is just grossly affected. And it's like, well, I got this thing for a billion less than I originally bid because you're keeping the TV channel. That makes sense. But he's back. And he doesn't lose. He does not lose when he wants to.

I hope it works out for you, Kevin. I really do. Well, I mean, think about this goddamn saga. Think about what I've been through, Jared. I mean, I had a World Series parade when it first happened, and then I had the horrible dishonor of being the one to break the news along with Clem that it was not happening and then had to be at the forefront of that he is going to be in the mix getting, you know, putting out bids. I just because of who he is and he's such an asshole, like he's not going to get out bid. I don't think.

He's not going to let himself get out bid. Everything I know about Stevie Cohen is from you, Kevin, and I would agree with you. Yeah, I mean, I think what he would have to do is on Thursday, he would have to put in a bid and say, like, I don't see this as any more valuable than this number. So, like, me, my that way, his business savvy is like what's stopping him as opposed to just like, I don't have enough. Like, you know, my dick's not big enough. I don't have the balls to, like, outbid this guy. Because if it's like when Dave was talking about Goodell, and he was like, I think I would have just kept bidding forever.

I don't think I would have let myself not win. So I think unless he publicly says the Mets are a trash organization. I was listening to an interview today on The Fan. Moose and Maggie were interviewing this guy who, I can't remember his name, but he's a business guy. And he was saying that throughout the years, the Wilpons have are always like known as these assholes who balk at the last second, because when people get in there and deals fall apart in like the 11th

hour, because when people get in there and they look at the financials and they look at the situation, it's actually way worse than what we think it is, which is almost impossible. Like we, they, they put up a front of being mediocre. We think they're horrendous and the reality is even worse than that. I'm like, what could possibly be going on? So if that's the case, and a dude who's like, you know, I made my career. Oh, shit, we're running out of time.

I just don't see, unless Steve is saying this is a piece of shit investment that is not worth any more, like a dollar more than I'm putting up here, I don't see a way he loses. So we'll find out on Thursday what his bid is, and we'll talk to you then. Fights, stay away from lawnmowers, bro. You're scaring me. Chicago's up next. You don't have to worry about it until I have $140 million in the bank.

See you guys tomorrow. Stay hot. Thank you.
