It was pretty hot today.
So we're in D.C.

We got deep into the Jose Fernandez stuff.

All right, let's go.
It's part of my take presented by Barstool Sports.
Welcome to part of my take presented by
Seat Geek today is Wednesday, July 18th.
And baseball is back.
Baseball is back in a big way.
I mean, you talk about stealing the show. Home run Derby was electric.
Yeah, Bryce Harper cheated.
Everyone got upset. Actually, no, his dad cheated.
Yeah, his dad cheated.
And if you got upset about that and I love college
where you are the biggest loser in the world because it's home run Derby.
Some of us like rules, but it's there for fun.
If there aren't rules, then we devolve into chaos.
But it was awesome.
Yeah, so the big controversy is his dad was not allowing
his mammoth dog shots to drop before he was still in the next pitch, which was.
Sorry for partying.
I was hitting the ball too high and too hard.
Bryce Harper had like three balls in the air at one time.
It was awesome. Yes.
And it was a great like Schwerber was great.
Bryce Harbour is great.
Max Muncie was great.
Like the whole entire event was great.
And then the All-Star game was pretty damn good itself
because he had some big some big timely home run, some good pitching.
So I'm declaring it.
A lot of credit to Washington, D.C. for really coming through in the clutch.
That's what we do.
I've decided, by the way, that I am addicted.
I don't even think Bryce Harper is actually going to go to the Cubs,
but I'm addicted of just saying Bryce Harper is going anywhere.
Because being in Washington, D.C.
No, I don't even care.
You can say Yankee, you can say you can say Dodger, anything
because being in Washington, D.C. and talking to Nats fans.
They're like, yeah, we know he's gone.
Yeah, it's just like so fun to just be like, yeah, Bryce Harper.
Can't wait to see him and, you know, Dodger Blue.
Can't wait to see him in pinstripes.
Can't wait to see him at Wrigley.
It's not even like a troll anymore.
No, it's just stating fact.
We commonly agree that, yes, Bryce Harper is no longer going to be a national next year.
His dad, I feel like, could step in and make a roster.
Yeah. You see the forearms of that guy?
Yeah.
There were like six ones quads.
Beast. Also, Bryce Harper, baseball is fully back
because it finally got the Colin Coward seal of approval.
You know his analytics, which we are actually unironically fans of.
We actually believe in analytics.
He's got new Saber metrics for his analytics.
B.I.S.
No, B.I.S.
Butson Seats, RSO, Rockstar Quotient and HYG, Hide Your Girl.
RSQ.
RSQ. Rockstar Quotient, HYG, Hide Your Girl.
And Bryce Harper is, I guess he's leading in the Triple Crown for all three of those categories.
Yeah. He said the Hide Your Girl, I guess that has to do.
Colin Coward went on about a 10-minute diatribe on how handsome Bryce Harper was.
Well, with the hair.
Big bandana guy.
He was like, you see a guy with a bandana, keep your girl away from me.
He said it's the reasons why Bryce Harper is leading the league,
even though Bryce Harper's hitting like, what, like 240?
215.
Yeah. 215.
Oh, geez. I was being very gracious.
Very, very generous.
But if you're going by the Hide Your Girl quotient,
you will know that Bryce Harper is off the charts because he has a bandana.
And now he's, Colin Coward actually said that Bryce Harper,
based on the home run derby, made $150 million last night.
He's going to go from a $300 million guy to a $450 million guy
because all the owners in baseball are going to lick their lips and be like,
I want a piece of that ass.
Colin Coward has a tremendous track record as a GM.
Yes.
That's why he's been very successful in that position.
Yeah. John Wall.
Bust.
Bust. Big time bust.
Yeah.
All right. So we are in Washington, D.C.
It's been a good time.
It's been a fun time.
It's hot as shit.
Oh, oh, Christian Yellich just hit a home run.
There we go.
So live.
This is reporting first reported on Pardon My Take.
We have Christian Yellich interview coming up.
He just hit a home run.
I don't want to take all the credit for it,
but I feel like we should get some of the credit for that.
Oh, without a doubt.
We really got the juices going for Christian.
We doubted him as you'll as you'll hear in this interview.
We doubted his home run abilities,
and therefore he's just proved us wrong.
Massive.
Massive credit.
At some point, I have to do something I very much regret,
as you will also find out in the interview.
What else we got?
We got Levy on Bell.
It is basically, he's never, Levy on Bell and the Steelers
are never, ever getting back together.
Well, they are, they're in a constant short-term relationship
with each other.
But now he's holding out.
You know that couple that everybody knows,
it's like it's a super chaotic relationship.
They're always like getting into fights in bars
in front of everybody, but they end up just going home
together every time.
That's kind of what the Steelers and Levy on Bell
have been like for the last six years.
And it's weird because I actually like,
it's one of those situations that both sides are kind of right.
Like Levy on Bell is the best running back probably in the NFL
if you, when you counter, you know,
for the fact that he's unbelievable catcher,
and he does so much for that offense,
but it would be crazy to sign like running back
in their late 20s to a long-term deal.
Yeah.
So like, I don't know really what you do.
Well, kind of what they've done with Bell
is exactly what the Redskins, or excuse me,
the R words have done with Kirk Cousins,
which is they just, they keep giving him a series of,
of one-year deals with a franchise tag,
but the only difference is as a running back
when you hit the age of 27.
Right.
Like it's a lot different.
You can't go out and get a $90 million guaranteed contract
as a running back.
No.
So I don't know why he doesn't just take the 15 mil,
because now-
He just doesn't want to get hurt.
Right.
But people are going to say he's going to sit out half the year,
give away half of it, and then is,
is someone else going to give him a long-term deal?
I doubt it.
No one's going to give him a four-year deal
with like a ton of guarantees.
I would not put anything past Dan Snyder.
OK, yeah, you're right.
That's actually the point.
As long as Dan Snyder, that's probably
leaving on Bell's entire strategy.
Like as long as Dan Snyder owns the R words,
I should hold out and stay as fresh as possible,
because anything younger than 35,
he'll slap like six-year contract.
Yeah, that's exactly.
And Dan Snyder's probably a little bit upset that Kirk Cousins
had that whole thing shook out.
So he was like, now's my time to not make the same mistake
again and sign this 27-year-old too long-term contract.
Yes.
Exactly.
Yeah, future Washington R word, leave you on Bell.
You heard it here first on part of my presentation.
I'm just ready for the Mike Tomlin has lost locker room talking.
That's kind of been going on.
Yeah, it's a little, there's a little buzz.
It's been off and on, but you know what?
I think getting rid of Todd Haley,
I think that that'll kind of, that'll buy him a year.
Yes.
I think Todd, I think Todd was probably
trying to take the locker room from him.
I wouldn't be shocked if Todd, he seems
like a big urinate indoors kind of guy.
Like probably pissed on a few walls
just trying to mark his scent and take over the locker room.
So I think, I think Tomlin's got another year
before we get that conversation again.
All right, should we do a hot seat cool throne
before we go to our Mount Rushmore?
Let's do it.
All right.
Hank, go.
My hot seat is LaVar Ball.
He got, someone took a picture of him riding coach on a plane.
It's kind of a tough look if your brand is built on being
a big baller.
Middle seat?
He is a coach though.
Middle seat?
He's a riding coach.
Yeah.
But he's a big baller.
That's where he does.
Yeah, that's tough.
He rides coaches.
He rides coaches till they quit.
You can't be doing that if you're a big baller.
No.
That is a bad, tell me it was a middle seat.
No.
OK.
I'll see.
All right.
So maybe he paid for like the $75 upgrade.
That's almost like first class.
It also, airline matters here.
Is it, is it spirit air?
I'm not sure I'll have to dive in a little more.
If it's spirit then that's an issue.
The whole ball family is like, that's pretty much
declaring for bankruptcy.
Yes, that's an issue.
Yeah.
My other hot seat, Travis Scott, didn't know his Kylie
Jenner's dog's name.
And they're like getting married and have a kid together.
Oh, Travis Scott.
Kind of.
He's a rapper.
Yeah, that's very lovely.
Oh, yeah.
OK.
Oh, yeah, because I made that tweet when it was like,
Kylie Jenner's engaged Travis Scott.
And I was like, Travis Scott sounds like a California teenager
who's really good at like goofy foot skateboarding.
Everyone's like, he's a rapper.
Yeah.
They're like, oh, whoops.
Travis Scott.
Yeah, that's a big time, a pop punk band lead singer.
Yeah, right.
Exactly.
But turns out, we're both very wrong.
So he doesn't know her dog's name?
Yeah, they did an interview with GQ.
And they were like, asking, how well do you know Kylie?
And Kylie was asking him questions.
I was like, what are my dog's names?
And he was like, I don't know.
Oh, it's multiple dogs.
Oh, yeah.
That's not fair.
It's like a commodity situation here.
Also, if the dogs are under 10 pounds,
I feel like you don't have to learn its name.
Yeah.
Just call it a champ.
That's a rule.
Yeah, or like, yeah, peewee.
Fido.
The little one.
Yeah, the little one and the littler one.
Yeah, you can just be like, I thought it was a cat.
Yeah.
And you don't need to know a cat's name.
True.
And my cool throne are Rugrats.
So they got an outstair that's coming back.
Fuck yeah.
OK, you know what that means?
It's time for some fucking memes.
Yeah.
That show is going to be memeable.
Yes, it is.
Also, big, big come up for gingers everywhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And also, Justify the Horse.
I don't know if you guys saw this,
but it was featured on Louisville football.
This is like promo.
It was like Louisville football players.
And then, Justify in the background,
like, we're going to be playing fast.
Ooh.
OK.
So Justify's back in a big way.
Louisville's had a pretty good run recently.
I can't wait till they have to take down the Justify banner
hanging up, because he turns out the horse is problematic
somehow.
Yeah, because he was just coming everywhere in restaurants
here and there.
Yeah.
Yeah, the whole thing.
Yeah, the horse was, the horse used an N-word
on the conference call.
Did you see that old tape that Riggs uncovered
about Ray Allen basically saying that he didn't go to Kentucky
when Rick Petino was coaching in Kentucky,
because he went for a visit.
And he went to Rick Petino's restaurant,
and Rick Petino refused to, like, come up and talk to him.
Yeah.
It's like, Ray Allen, you dodged a bullet.
Yeah.
Rick could have gotten, came on.
Rick was busy at the time.
Like, that was actually, looking back on that,
now, knowing what we know now, Ray Allen, you're a lucky one.
Yep.
So is that it, Hank?
Mm-hmm.
OK.
PFT?
All right, my hot seat, normal DUIs
are on the hot seat.
Just old-fashioned DUIs are on the hot seat,
because Steve Keim, the general manager of the Cardinals,
pled guilty to an extreme DUI.
Which is actually, like, that's just
being an extreme Cardinal.
Yeah.
Like, that's just the Cardinal way.
That is the Cardinal way.
It's like, extreme DUI, it's like mixing,
if you mix Long Island ice teas with Serge,
it's like, it's the X games of DUI.
Yeah.
Actually, I think maybe that's what it is.
He was probably just on a skateboard.
Yeah.
Or on a street lose.
Yeah.
So what happened, what's going to happen?
So he had to pay, I think, like $200,000.
Jesus Christ.
To the mothers against drunk driving.
Jesus.
So yeah, big culture change going on in the desert.
And my other hot seat is.
Oh, the Arizona Cardinals.
Yeah, Arizona Cardinals.
I'm just going on such a hot, you know,
like, laughing about the St. Louis Cardinals.
Dumb, dumb brains, yeah.
Dumb, dumb brains.
Yachty's going to be the new player manager.
I'm so excited about that.
My sources are telling me.
My other hot seat is the Big 12,
because Texas football.
This could also be filed under Texas football being back.
Because they are back.
Tom Herman said they have 60 players
that can vertical jump over 30 inches.
42 can power clean over 300 pounds.
34 can squat over 500 pounds.
And three can squat over 600 pounds.
So they just have a bunch of work out here.
They have a bunch of really, really strong dudes.
Gym rats.
Texas.
Yeah, so.
Can they play when the pads are on?
Listen, I don't know if they play football,
or if they're just like, if they're just bodybuilders.
Right.
We're just going to bring back world's strongest man.
Yeah, but the idea is, I mean, that's
pretty fucking intimidating, right?
Yeah, if you just throw out numbers like that.
But I feel like any football program could probably do that,
right?
They've got 70 players that piss pure clear.
Yeah.
So they're the most hydrated team in NCAA football.
That's perfect.
I just made that up right now, but I'm pretty sure that it's true.
But yeah, you make a good point.
I think other schools have weight rooms.
Yeah, and like, OK, so you can bench a lot,
and you can squat a lot.
Can you catch the ball?
And do you have a quarterback?
And can you stop anyone on third down?
Yeah, it's mostly do you have a quarterback.
Yeah, and stop people on third down.
Yeah, how many elite quarterbacks have you
recruited as a safety this off season?
Yeah, and in the big 12, if you can get two stops on third
down, you'll win.
Yeah.
My cool throne is making out with your dog.
Oh.
Because Lena Dunham said, hang on,
let me pull up her exact quote here.
OK, yeah, please do.
We don't want to get this wrong.
I got to get this.
We cannot get Lena Dunham's quote incorrect.
Don't miss quote Lena Dunham's quote about kissing,
French kissing her dog.
Hang on, sorry.
Cut this out.
That was the laziest cut ever.
I remember I wasn't on anyone else.
Thought about the bars.
Just the high frequency noises.
That works.
I got it.
OK, got it.
Yeah.
I got it first.
Never trust anyone who doesn't regularly
French kiss animals.
OK, wait.
All right, so French kiss?
Yeah.
That's a little far.
Yeah, so here's my problem with French kiss.
Every now and again, if you're a dog owner,
your dog kisses you, you catch a stray.
Every now and again, they'll lick your lips
and their tongue will brush against your teeth by mistake.
That happens.
French kissing also implies that your tongue
is going into the dog's mouth.
I'm going to draw the line there.
Unless it's like a really good dog.
Unless it's Air Bud.
Yeah, I like it because Lena Dunham was trying
to be relatable for a second.
And she almost got there.
Because if you tweeted out, never
trust a person that doesn't kiss their dog on the lips,
that's actually a fact.
I agree.
Because it's your dog.
You kiss it on the lips.
I love my dog.
You've got to kiss your dog on the lips.
Slipping your dog's tongue, that's fucked up.
That's an issue, yes.
And she deleted it.
Yeah, so she knows.
She got roasted enough that she was like, OK,
I retract my take.
But thoughts and prayers to Lena Dunham's pets.
She strikes me as somebody that French kisses cats
and ferrets and exotic pets too.
Aguanas.
Yeah, she's probably had an iguana laser.
She's got a laser.
Yeah, she's definitely done.
We've got to do that.
Mount Rushmore of pets that you can't trust.
Yeah, that you can't.
Yeah, that people who own pets that you're just like, nope.
Yeah, my other cool throne is going
to be John Gruden's time machine.
Because as we've discussed on the show.
Which we created.
Yes, which we created.
As we've discussed on part of my take,
John Gruden is doing everything that he can do to travel back
to the year of 1998.
I think we've settled on this.
And it has reached its logical conclusion
with the Raiders bringing back Brent Musburger to call their
games on the radio next year.
Perfect.
So you are looking live at the year of 1998.
I love it.
It's actually in the past.
He's definitely going to have his headset wired into that
just so he can listen to Brent.
I hope Brent does well.
Yeah.
Uncle Brent's a good friend.
I hope he does well.
I'm happy that we can at least like in some way,
I will never listen to a Raiders radio broadcast.
But knowing in some world that Brent is calling a game,
feels good.
It feels right.
Yes.
Maybe if we're on the road at some point on a Sunday
and it's on satellite radio.
Yeah.
We might tune into that.
We would probably tune into that.
You're right.
That's a good point.
All right, my hot seat is actually similar to Hank's
Lonzo balls on my hot seat because LeVar
said that he could beat LeBron one on one.
And LeBron wouldn't be strong enough for him back in his heyday.
He would just back him down.
He was 270 and had the will to win 2.2 points at Washington
State University.
But I feel like that's probably not
the best start for the Lonzo-LeBron relationship
for LeVar to get on national radio and be like, yeah,
I'd beat the fuck out of LeBron one on one.
He actually called him weak.
Yeah, he called him weak, which is too weak.
Yeah.
But what he forgets is that LeBron James is,
I think he's what, 290 pounds now?
Yeah.
He's 6 foot 10, 290, and he moves like a point guard.
Yes.
So he's actually bigger than LeVar was.
Yeah.
So that's my first hot seat.
My second is Elon Musk because he went after the guy who
actually saved the kids in the Thai cave.
The guy basically said, like, Elon Musk is a fucking asshole.
He showed up with his mini sub that was never going to work.
And he did it for publicity, which we all knew.
But he just vocalized it.
And Elon Musk came back at him and said,
I'm going to prove to you that you're wrong that this sub works
and called him a pedo, which is a very weird move.
Elon Musk just further proving that he's not a human being.
It doesn't know how to converse with other human beings.
Well, it's tough to come back from being called a pedo.
So like in terms of winning an argument with somebody,
that's like a finishing move.
Yeah.
But in order to deploy the finishing move,
it's got to be like in Mortal Kombat,
your opponent has to be wobbly and totally out of it
before you can do the whole expert level crazy move on him,
which is calling him a pedo.
You don't just jump to that.
You've got to work your way up to that argument.
This might be permission.
Can I get permission to go there?
Yeah, please do.
The word pedo, I wish it wasn't attached to something
so despicable.
OK.
Because the word pedo is just like,
it sounds like it's a cool name.
Yeah.
I think in French or Italian, it's just
like riding your bike, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, your pedo.
Yeah.
Yeah, this guy's in Gepetto.
Right.
Exactly.
The puppet master.
Well, he was also obsessed with a little wooden boy.
Yeah, that's right.
OK.
I retract my pedo.
We're an anti-pedo podcast.
Yes, we officially are.
Officially.
But it's just so funny.
I'm so here for Elon Musk, just having meltdown after meltdown
because everyone realizes he's a fraud and promising people
to go to Mars.
Did he ever send out the rocket launchers
or the flame throws?
Yeah, he sent flame throws.
But they weren't even flame throwers.
They were like giant candles.
Yeah, they were like huge.
They were like the huge lighters that used for your grill.
Yeah, you couldn't even burn down an entire elementary school
with one.
So Elon Musk.
Total fraud.
Yeah, and further credence to my theory
that he's just a front for Jeff Bezos, who
I think just went to like $150 billion.
Yeah, so he is just like, he's being
used as a distraction from the real evil billionaires.
Yes, exactly.
We're on to you, Jeff.
All right, my cool throne, I got one.
It is football commercials.
So did you see Fox had their football commercial
during the MLB All Star game, got me so horny.
And imagine Dragons drop a new song,
which is going to be the perfect pump-up music for college
football this fall.
Like, they did an awesome job with this one.
Have you heard it?
Yeah.
Is it really good?
Oh, yeah, it's really good.
I haven't heard it yet.
Yeah, it's very, very, it's like perfect.
You can actually imagine South Carolina playing Clemson
on a Saturday night.
Oh, that's so great.
Yeah, so imagine Dragons, you've done it again.
You fucking guys who I actually like you weirdly,
you've done it again.
You've given us the perfect pump-up music.
And you know what?
When we were watching the All Star game,
hearing the Fox music, even though it's baseball,
you just think that it's NFL music.
Oh, Joe Bucks boys.
Yeah.
They were close.
We are so close.
Fuck Summer.
We can smell it.
Yeah, Hank, you know I said that.
Fuck Summer.
All right, let's do it.
Mount Rushmore of things you can pre-game,
not including sports, because sports are easy.
Everyone loves a pre-game, a sports game.
Let's do it.
Things you can pre-game.
Who wants to start first?
Why don't you go first, big cat?
All right, I'll go first.
All right, my first one will be easy.
Just going a night out.
There's nothing better than the pre-game, big bar night,
whatever, pre-game at the house.
Have a good time.
What are you talking about?
It's not really specific at all.
Yeah, it's just like going out.
What do you mean?
OK.
Like you guys don't ever go like a Friday night in college
or after college?
You don't pre-game a night out?
It's just a little on its bars.
What do you mean, going out to bars?
That's all.
That's literally what the pre-game was invented for.
You go to someone's house?
But there's a difference between what?
What would you like me to do?
You want me to stress five?
No, no, that's fine.
That's fine.
OK, going out to the bars with your friends,
your pre-game beforehand.
OK, just a little on inspired, that's all.
I think that's a perfect one.
Don't try to do that to me.
Sure.
My first one will be the pre-game.
It's a pre-game and a pre-game.
That sucks.
That sucks.
If we're going out where?
Before you go out to the bar.
Oh, OK.
This is a very contentious one.
That's a really good one, Hank.
I like that one.
Yeah, thank you.
That was a very contentious one.
Pre-game and the pre-game.
You've got to have a couple beers,
couple shower beers before you go out.
OK.
If you're going out, you've got to get ready.
Yeah, yeah.
Pre-game and the pre-game.
So I'm going to come back with two at you.
A concert, no brainer.
OK.
Got a pre-game and concert.
Does that count as tailgate?
Can you tailgate a concert?
Yeah, you can.
I mean, a summer concert, for sure, can tailgate.
Yeah, OK.
So pre-game and concert number one, the second one,
is a beach day.
OK.
Have a little cocktail before you leave the house.
While you're packing up the cooler,
drink one of the cold beers, then you get out to the beach.
You got a nice little tasty buzz going already
before you lay your blanket down.
The rest of the day is just smooth sailing.
OK.
My number two, I will go with a wedding.
So sometimes you're pre-gaming for good times.
Sometimes you're pre-gaming just because you
don't want to deal with annoying family members or whatnot.
You've got to have a couple beers,
make the whole day tolerable.
OK.
That's a really good one.
OK, that's a good one, Hank.
Thank you.
Wait, what kind of wedding are we talking about?
Yeah, what kind of wedding?
Is it a gay wedding?
Is it a straight wedding?
Is it a moping?
I specified, I said, sometimes you're going.
An Indian wedding?
Sometimes you're going because it's going to be fun time
because it's friends.
And sometimes you've got a pre-game for this family
and you don't want to deal with family.
Oh, OK.
So that's pretty specific.
And I think you're coming at me for not being specific.
No, I'm not.
I'm not at all.
I'm not at all.
OK.
How about pre-game on St. Patrick's Day?
That's one of my favorite pre-games ever.
Before you go out to a bar?
Yeah, another bar.
And how about, I didn't pick this Mount Rushmore.
Hank fucking loved this Mount Rushmore.
I actually, you guys tweeted it and I tweeted it
and that was the top response.
No, it wasn't.
Thank you to the listeners.
No, it wasn't.
Pre-gaming, a softball game.
That is also a very fun time.
Get your little swing juice going.
Get your swing nice and loose.
Well, my other one was going to be pre-gaming family functions.
But Hank then just did a wedding where all his family's
going to be at.
I mean, family function is wide open.
But I'm with Hank on that one.
Wedding is a good choice.
All right, go ahead, Hank.
You just blame me because I said wedding.
Yeah, but then you said wedding.
But then you like.
Because you asked me to be more specific.
There are not many weddings that you go to that you're
like family's at.
There's a lot of weddings you go to that your family's not at.
You're actually old as fuck.
And so you've done more friends weddings.
I've been to more family weddings.
OK, well, that's not relatable.
No, it is.
I promise you that it is.
It's not.
I promise you isn't.
Most of our listeners are probably.
I promise you is not.
All right, from my number three, I
will go with the last day of high school.
Oh, OK, OK.
That's solid.
You did not do graduating college
because you didn't graduate college?
I didn't graduate college, no.
Actually, I had to say that.
Come on.
You can even say like the last month of high school.
Yes.
Just like not caring.
Every day before knowing that you have college coming up
and just being like, OK, that's good.
What did you get your degree in college?
It doesn't matter because I'm podcasting around.
Waste of money.
Yeah, exactly.
I got my degree in real life.
This is what I'm talking about.
This is a contentious Mount Rushmore.
I went to the school of hard knocks, buddy.
OK, mine's kind of similar to Hank's.
For my third one, I'm going to go prom.
OK.
Just prom.
That's sketchy.
That's sketchy business, though.
Yeah, you can't get too drunk.
You kicked out.
That's why it's so fun.
You got to walk that tightrope.
You got to make sure you're not drinking the gin or vodka
that can smell on your breath.
Yeah, well, it's usually a mix of like gin, vodka,
rum, and tequila.
Just a little bit from every single one of your dad's bottles.
Yes, all in one like plastic, pollen, springs, water bottle.
So my last one, I was going to say podcast,
but we don't do that anymore.
Yeah, I don't do that anymore.
So I'm going to go fishing.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah, a little day on the lake.
Let's see, would you actually drink before you go on?
I feel like that's just doing it when you get on there.
I got to drink before I go fishing.
Yeah, you have a couple of beers before you go out there,
before you hit the water for sure.
OK.
My last one, a lot of mine have been taken up.
I will go with the office Christmas party.
OK.
So you know, the day's unwinding.
Whenever you have office events, you
have a couple of beers in the office before you actually
have to go to the place where the event is happening.
You can feel the buzz in the office,
like everyone's about to have a good time, by the way.
We're going to go to Extra Innings in the All-Star Game.
It's just a two-run homer.
Well, that sucks for my bet.
Yeah.
Wow.
OK, so where's Bud Selig when you need him?
Scooter Jeanette.
This has been the night of recurring guests.
Scooter Jeanette with two-run homer.
All right, my last one is going to be an intervention.
So if it's your last time that you can drink,
you probably want to drink before you do it.
Well, you wouldn't know that the intervention was happening.
Well, no, if they're like, hey, we all want to talk to you
and there's cameras around and that music's playing,
you're probably going to want to have a drink before you go.
Also, one thing that I like about intervention,
when you agree to go to rehab, you
can get drunk before you go there.
Right.
It's just like the second you get in the door.
It's like you're diet on Sunday night.
Exactly.
That's exactly what it's like.
It's like if you're going in for open heart surgery,
might as well have a cheeseburger.
What missed the cut?
I said a funeral, actually not a bad one,
because then if you cry, it's like I might be drunk.
Floating a river?
Yep.
Job interview?
Yeah.
Just one beer?
Just one beer before a job interview.
And you could also translate that to a date?
Yep.
First date?
Yep, first date.
You've got to do it in New Year's.
Before you have sex?
Yeah, so that you last like 15 seconds longer than 10.
Yeah, that's actually really smart.
Just chug a little whiskey right before.
Yep.
Yeah.
Hank doesn't need to.
Hank, what else you got?
I got taken.
I had a country concert and the bar was actually on my list.
Oh, OK.
So my first pick?
No, you just had going out.
Yeah, to the bars.
Well, you could have said the club.
I don't go to clubs.
Would you have counted?
So this was the best things to pregame besides sports?
Yes.
Would you have counted like going to watch a game at a bar?
I feel like you wouldn't pregame that.
What about the NFL Draft?
That's not a sporting event.
Yeah, that's true.
That's not a sport event.
I would absolutely pregame the NFL Draft.
No, the reason why that doesn't work anymore
is because they changed it.
When it was Saturday, all day, Saturday, all day, Sunday,
I would put that as like number one on the Mount Rush.
That was one of the sneaky best drinking days of the year,
just being like, start drinking 11 in the morning,
watch Draft all day.
Oh, here's another good one.
Your fantasy draft.
Yes, that actually is a good one.
That's a good call.
That's a very good call.
So with the boys?
Yeah, so that way when you make a really bad pick,
you can be like, oh, I was drunk.
You guys are fucking losers.
That's why I tried to draft Chris Johnson again
in the 12th round.
Yeah.
I haven't won my team every year.
Yeah, exactly.
All right, let's get to our interview.
By the way, tweet us at part of my take what we missed.
Probably the most contentious Mount Rush
we've ever done.
Yeah, that was an out.
Would you say so, Hank?
Yeah.
Yeah, it was.
So far.
So far.
All right, tweet us what we missed at part of my take.
We'll tweet that out.
We're going to get to our interview with Christian Yellich
before we do that.
MVMT watches.
We've been talking about MVMT watches forever.
They are one of our favorite sponsors out there.
MVMT came from being crowd-funded kids working
out of a living room.
The story of their rise has been unbelievable to watch.
They have watches.
Whoa, their story of their rise has been unbelievable to watch.
And they're a watch company.
Damn.
All right.
Movement watches started at just $95.
Don't throw shade on them.
Oh, shit, I got shade.
I'm about to get there.
Yeah, started at just $95 at a department store.
You're looking at $400 to $500.
Movement figured out that by selling online,
they were able to cut out the middleman and retail markup
providing the best possible price.
Classic design, quality construction, and styled minimalism.

All right, here he is, Milwaukee Brewer.
And first time All-Star, Christian Yelich.
And home run hitter.
And home run hitter, all-star game.
Yes.
All right, we now welcome on.
First time All-Star, Christian Yelich
from the Milwaukee Brewer's.
It's actually been a long time coming,
because we've been on KFC radio a couple times.
We've gone back and forth, especially now
that you're on the Brewer's.
We are doing rogue journalism.
So if you hear a little music in the background,
it's because we're in his hotel lobby.
Christian, thank you for coming on.
How excited are you to be, I'll start with a softball,
because like you just told us, you usually
swing a miss on your first BP.
How excited are you to be in All-Star for the first time?
Really excited.
It's one of those things that you never really
think about actually doing.
I remember getting drafted the first time.
I've only been to one All-Star game before as a fan.
2010, we got drafted.
It was in Anaheim.
That's kind of where I'm from.
So I decided to go to All-Star game.
Your goal was just to make it to the big leagues
and just try and get there.
And then All-Star game was like a whole another level
that you really weren't even thinking about or could
comprehend.
And to be there and to be a part of this is pretty special
and got a lot of good friends going for the first time as well.
So to get a share with them is extra special.
It's kind of cool for your first time,
but I'm just letting you know next year and the year
after that, you're going to be like, god damn it,
I get one break a year, and I have
to go travel and play in another baseball game.
So enjoy this while you can, because you're young and naive,
but you're going to get grizzled pretty much.
And also, you are sitting in a hotel lobby with us.
So you're probably like, I'd rather not make any more All-Star
games.
No, I was going to say, this is probably like the big draw.
Yeah, true.
After the party.
True.
So do you think you're going to get hazed?
No.
You sure?
Well, Bud Norris is a part of the All-Star,
so you'll probably be OK that way.
That's all right.
Yeah.
Are you a little nervous still walking in the locker room
for the first time, being like, oh, oh, like, where do I sit?
What do I do?
Not really, because you know a lot of these guys.
Just through playing against them throughout the league.
And I got to play with a lot of these guys in the WBC last year.
You get to meet them throughout the league,
so everyone's pretty familiar with each other.
You've had run-ins over the course of the season.
So for the most part, you know everybody,
and it's cool to just catch up and see them.
I imagine it's like the scene in Hoosiers,
when they go into the big gym and they measure it to 10 feet.
They're like, rims are still the same.
You see Marlins man sitting front row.
You're like, there it is.
That's your boy.
Yeah, that's your boy.
No, that's originally your guy.
Yes, so what was your relationship with Marlins man?
What was the Marlins, from a former Marlin,
what was the Marlins organization relationship
with Marlins man?
We'd seen him at some golf tournament.
We'd have this golf tournament every year
at the beginning of spring training.
It was the Jack McKee and golf classic.
He sponsored every hole.
Yeah, so he was sponsored and he had his orange car,
the Marlins Mobile, whatever it was called.
The Troupe Mobile.
Yeah, yeah, and he'd be out there all the time.
You have this hole and people would stop by and take pictures.
He's like a lawyer.
He's a lawyer, a big law firm or something like that,
which I didn't really know until he got talking to him,
but he's an interesting guy for sure.
So would you consider yourself friends with Marlins?
Or best friends?
The quaintest.
OK, because I think these were run-ins.
OK, really?
Got it.
You've had a few.
No, no, bad.
I just met him a few, three or four times.
Was there any additional pressure going up to bat,
knowing that Marlins Man was watching you?
I mean, he probably wasn't watching.
He was probably on Twitter.
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
So you're here in your first all-star game.
I'm always interested to know, for these types of games,
at what point does the manager sit down and talk to you guys?
Like, it's an actual game going into it?
He's just like, post the lineup, and he's like,
here's what I'm playing on doing.
You're only going to get one at bat.
You're going to get one at bat.
Where does that go?
My first one, so we'll see.
But I'm assuming it's going to start.
I'll probably only get one at bat the most, maybe not even
one, because I'm one of the reserve guys.
But yeah, we'll see.
We'll see how it goes.
But I'm just excited for the experience
of just being a part of it and being
able to say you were in an all-star game
and took part of all the festivities.
Because you never know how many you're going to get.
This might be the only time I get to do it, hopefully not.
But just trying to enjoy the two days
and get the most out of them.
Do you want to win?
Yeah, it'd be cool to win, for sure.
I mean, I know it doesn't have any impact on the World
Series anymore.
Which I think is right, though.
No.
No, you don't think it's right?
Well, from a fans perspective, it's not fun.
I know it was the dumbest way to decide home field advantage,
but I loved it because it just meant something.
It makes the all-star game a little more special.
As a team, when the Cubs, they should have been playing
Game 7 and Wrigley instead of in Cleveland.
So I feel like as a player, and then as a fan,
if your team makes it to the World Series,
you're going to be like, hey, we won 100-something games
this year.
The other team won 90-something.
Like, we should be playing this deciding game.
But I kind of loved it because it pissed everyone off, too.
Everyone was like, why the hell is this stupid game?
They should just take the losing team's game
check and then give it to the winning team.
You get paid for this game?
I don't know.
You do it with a pro bow?
You should make sure you should see it.
Don't play for free.
Why don't we take care of it?
You give us the number of the guy, and then whatever we get.
I saw you take care of things.
Yeah, I do.
You helped Dan Heronite.
I did.
I saw that.
Just my presence online.
Dan the man.
You give us your bank account number and routing information.
We'll make sure that your deposit gets in there for you.
How many years were you on the same team with Dan?
Just one.
What was he like in the clubhouse?
Was he quiet?
Awesome.
He was quiet, but not really.
He'd be really dry sent that you know.
Yeah, yeah.
The way he is on Twitter and in person
is the way he was in the clubhouse, and I love them.
You ever see him like smashing a modium before he starts?
Because he was afraid to have shit.
All that stuff's true.
When he went on that tweet rampage about how
is everything from his career, that's all true.
100% you're like, ah, that's Dan Heronite.
That's why everybody loved him.
He was a gamer though.
He was taking 85 out there every day.
He was posting every single day, which that's all you can.
You can respect that.
And he was awesome.
Yeah.
Do you still get nervous before games?
Sometimes it depends.
Mostly before.
And then once it starts, you're always fine.
But sometimes, yeah, there's some games
that you kind of get up for.
You get the little nerves.
If it's national TV, if A-Rod's in the building,
is that like a little extra?
Not really.
I feel like most of the time, every opening day, obviously,
but I feel like that's not really unusual,
just because you have all the pageantry and everything
going on, especially this year as a new team,
first game with a new team and all that.
But for the most part, you get used to it at the end of the day.
Do you ever wake up and be like, today's the day,
I'm just never going to be able to hit again?
I feel like I do that all the time if I was a baseball player.
It happens all the time.
Yeah, right.
And literally a week ago, you're like, I don't know.
Is that it?
Yeah, like this is going to be done.
I never get another hit again.
I might go, how do you fight that?
Like, how do you mentally get over that?
Slump buster, do you?
Yeah, I've heard of it.
It's experience, I think, once you've felt like that,
and then you've come out of it before.
You're like, all right, I've done this before.
But the first time you do it, you're like, oh, that's a wrap.
It's over.
Is there something specific?
I mean, it is so mental that I'm sure
that you have to try to figure out,
like, do you just go to the cage more?
Do you change up something in your swing?
Do you go to the cage less?
Well, what happened?
You've got to just convince yourself
that it's going to turn around like the next one,
the next one's where it breaks.
And usually what happens is it's one swing,
or you're standing on deck or something,
and you're like, oh, this feels good to back.
That's how it happens, but that's also how it goes.
You don't know when it comes and when it just literally.
The way you just described it, I think
I'd be a great baseball player, because that's my gambling.
I lose a million in a row, and I'm like, the next one's a lock.
The next one is definitely going to hit.
Yeah, and then it's not, and then you're like,
oh, the next one.
The next one.
Yeah, I do.
Yeah.
Do you have any weird superstitions?
I don't, actually.
No, it's just.
That's kind of a superstition, that you don't believe in them.
Yeah, I do believe in them, but I don't really have one,
just because there's so many games in baseball
that I don't think I could repeat it 162 times.
There's just too much.
What's the weirdest one on your team?
Who has the weirdest one?
I don't, none that I know of.
I mean, which is weird, because I
feel like baseball players are pretty superstitious.
Yeah.
Still getting, I don't, maybe you guys do them,
and they just don't talk about them,
because that's their superstition.
Yeah.
But none that I know of, I don't really have any.
I'm pretty laid back, as it is.
Like, it's just, see if they're going to happen,
or it's not, we're about to find out kind of deal.
Yeah.
My favorite one was Wade Boggs eating chicken every single day.
Like, he had five rotating dishes of chicken he would do.
And he would just like, switch them up, switch them up,
switch them up, switch them up, switch them up.
Do you, what's your pregame meal situation?
Oh, I was going to say, my favorite one was the Kevin
Alar story, when he told us that Pedro Marchino
should put his dick on everyone's shoulder.
Yeah, that's, that's probably the number one, yeah.
Yeah.
Really?
I don't know about that one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So why don't you put their dick on your shoulder?
Next one would be the first one.
Yeah, so what do you eat before every game?
Just whatever's, whatever's out there.
I don't have, like, this standard pregame meal.
It's usually, it's switched up all the time,
whatever they got in the clubhouse.
Before you go any further, I want to congratulate you
on your engagement to Ariana Grande.
I appreciate that.
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Have you seen an uptick in, like,
like Christian Yellen, which is kind of a hot name now,
that Pete Davidson is getting in the news more?
Uh, no, but I get that question all the time.
Every time we play, I get the congrats on Ariana type deal,
someone's yelling it a couple of times a day out there.
Yeah, we're going to cut that part out
so it makes my question sound more original.
Yeah.
But thank you for sharing that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, let's talk about your current team.
Will the Brewers be buyers or sellers at the deadline?
Because you guys stink.
We didn't finish the second half great.
Or the first half.
Yeah, the first half great by any means, but.
Six in a row?
Six in a row, yes, seven of eight, six in a row.
It was just, I mean, it happens.
Every team goes through it at some point.
We just picked the end of the first half, which was an ideal.
But, you know, it happens.
Yesterday was a tough one.
I feel like if we win that one, it's a little bit.
It's a little bit better.
You kind of go in with some momentum.
It's not as bad.
But hey, what are you going to, you know,
the break came at a perfect time for us to say that.
Yeah, at what point in a losing streak
does do you get like the impassioned like, you know,
veteran talk or the coach getting up in front of someone?
Like what point is like, all right, we got to fix this?
Is it like three, four, five games?
Yeah, right around there, probably five.
I mean, yesterday, if it wasn't the break, you know,
maybe somewhere around there, that's a tough one,
just the way it all unfolded.
But we got a lot of guys, I mean,
we got a lot of guys that have been around
and realized what happens.
Counsel's great manager.
That's not really his style to get up
and start throwing stuff around.
We got to change.
Everybody knows we got to change it.
We haven't been playing well.
So we'd be fine.
We're going to be fine after these four days.
But yeah, obviously it's not ideal to end
the first half like that, especially for how well we
played for the first couple of months of the season
to go out like that isn't great.
Is it weird playing in Miller Park when you play the Cubs
and it's 90% Cubs fans?
I would say it's 90.
But it's a lot.
Yeah, you're like 95, I don't know.
It's a lot of Cubs fans.
But I enjoy the atmosphere.
It's a cool rivalry and cool game.
It's the first time I've been a part of it
and didn't realize how passionate the two fan bases really
are about that game and how much it means to the fans really.
And it's a great environment.
You talk about just the intensity.
It feels every pitch matters in those games for both teams.
Really, one guy gets on.
It feels like it's a rally coming up.
And we've actually played each other pretty tight this year.
I think the Cubs obviously have won more games.
But neither one of the teams has really blown each other out
than any of those.
They've been 2-1-1-0 games the whole time.
So really, the whole game is intense.
And you know that coming into the series
that every single one of these games
is going to be hard fought and whatever team executes makes
at least the amount of mistakes, it's going to win.
So it's really, really intense.
Before you joined the team, did you
realize that the logo for the Brewers
was an M and a B with a glove and a ball?
I didn't until I got there the first or second day.
Somebody said something about it.
It's pretty cool.
It's one of the cooler logos, I think.
Yeah, it's awesome.
That blew my mind the first time I heard it.
So your trade to the Brewers from the Marlins,
how many times did you sit with Derek Jeter
or did you not sit with him?
I didn't.
I never talked.
Not one conversation.
Wow.
No talks.
Wow.
Did you ever say Heidi?
I never.
The only time I've met him, we played against each other in 2014.
And he signed a jersey for me actually in Panama,
which was pretty cool.
He's my favorite player growing up.
That's where the Marlins are actually located now.
Wait, he was your favorite player.
And then he becomes owner and he just doesn't even.
Yeah, he didn't owe me anything.
But yeah, we never.
You think that the owner would, or one of the owners,
would come and talk to the team at some point?
Yeah, we never really talked.
They sold it at the end of the year
and we all kind of went our own ways in the off season.
And obviously, everything unfolded.
But yeah, we never had any conversations really.
Yeah, so obviously you guys went
through a tragic thing last year with the Jose Fernandez.
How much did that change just the entire organization
and going forward?
Because I feel like then, obviously, the ownership changed
and then they trade a ton of guys.
So everything kind of spiraled off of that.
It changed.
It changed everything.
I'd still be there.
Stanton would still be there.
We'd all still be there this year if that didn't happen.
This would have been his last year before free agency.
So we would have been gearing up, making a playoff push.
And we had a ton of talent on those teams.
But when something like that happens in a small market
organization, and you can't replace it,
and it set everything back years, it changed everything.
And it's something that nobody can foresee
that happening in the organization on the team, nothing.
So once that happened, we all realized a few days
after this is going to change everything for everybody.
And everybody's kind of path is going to be different.
We tried to make it work last year and patch it together
and see what we could do.
But it's just such a big loss.
Not only just personally, as just losing a friend,
that's terrible.
But organizationally, and for the fan base and for the team,
it was just too much to recover from.
And I think it just set all the events into motion
a little bit earlier than maybe it would have happened.
That's kind of what we all talked about when we got traded
and went different places, was just like, look,
isn't anybody's fault in the organization or anything like that.
It's just one of those really unfortunate things.
And then the team has to do what it has to do.
It's a business at the end of the day for them and for us.
And when something like that happens,
and you go your separate ways, there's no hard feelings
or any animosity.
Because it's like, look, we all went through that together.
There was a really tough time just being in that clubhouse,
being in that team.
Everybody who was there knows what that was like.
And I feel like nobody left on bad terms.
When I got the call that I was traded and everything
leading up to it, it was never just a long, drawn out fight,
really a lot of animosity there.
We wasn't like that at all.
And I talked to Donnie about it and our GM at the time
when I got the call.
And I look, this all happened because of all the events that
happened leading up to it.
So when you came back after getting that news,
some guys say they like getting back on the field
and helps them move on, helps them feel,
helps them gel together.
Other people, they have trouble getting back in that focus
because it's such a big thing that happened.
For you, which one of those was it?
It was really surreal, honestly.
Because you see everybody, like baseball,
we spend so much time with each other.
We spend more time with each other
than we do our own families during the course of the season
because we have 10, 11 hour days
at the stadium if we're not traveling.
So then you're traveling, you go to dinner together,
you're hanging out on the road, hanging out at home.
We all came up together.
We came up through the minor leagues together
for the last couple of levels.
So everybody sees each other every night,
leaving the club house.
You're like, all right, man, like, you know,
see you tomorrow, see you tomorrow, see you tomorrow.
And then you wake up to that news and that phone call
and you're like, man, this, what, what happened?
We got a text saying, games canceled.
Everybody get to the stadium as quick as you can.
And so we have a dome.
So it's not canceled, it's not canceled
because of weather.
We were at home, it's a Sunday.
It was actually like an each your row bat giveaway
for his 3,000th hit, which, you know,
everyone was like, why, why are they canceling this game?
And then I actually saw it on Twitter.
So like, why are they canceling the game?
And I had to wake, I was living with JT at the time.
And, you know, now his now wife was there.
So I was like, I knew before he did, he was still sleeping.
So I had to figure out a way to tell JT,
like we have to go to the stadium, but, you know,
Jose died, but I didn't want to tell it to him
and have his wife there or his now wife there.
And then be like, all right, like, see you.
Right. I didn't know.
I didn't know they actually saw him that night.
They were there and I was going to go meet them too
at the place cause he had some friends in town.
So they're going to have some, have some drinks
at this cool spot in Miami that a lot of people went to.
And I didn't know there, I didn't know there
with him that night.
So I went in and woke him up, which I never do.
I was like, hey dude, like, you know, get up, we got to go.
Right.
And usually, I've known, I've lived with JT
since we were 18 and we came into football together.
And usually he'd be like, what are you doing?
Like get out of here.
And he was like, okay.
I was like, what?
Geez.
Yeah. I was like, hey dude, like we got, yeah.
Cause if I was going to wake him up, like something,
something bad happened.
So he was like, okay.
And then his, his wife, now wife was the kind of like,
what's going on?
And I guess she searched something on Twitter
and then she started, she started crying.
I was like, oh dude, like we got to go.
And I just remember those two days being like a movie.
Like you felt like you were watching yourself
through a movie and all the stuff that happened.
And you know, you go to the field and I remember
just coming in the clubhouse and in Miami,
the clubhouse is like a circle and all the,
all the lockers kind of face each other and all the chairs.
And they made us all wait there until everybody got there.
And then they kind of addressed the team.
But it was like this, like you're just kind of sitting here
and shock and no one was, no one was really crying at first.
It was everyone was just like silent and shock kind of.
And you know, they came in, talked to the team,
basically told us what happened.
We already knew at that point,
but they told us what happened
and what they're going to try and do,
which I actually think they handled the whole thing
really well as an organization for,
there's not really a script for that
or what can happen and no one plans for that
or there's no contingency for what you do when that happens.
And we're with the family and the next day
like coming to play the game the next day,
we all did everything at the stadium that day.
They had the press conference and we went to his family's house
after the press conference.
We all took buses to their house.
That's what they wanted.
And I remember that being pretty brutal.
Like you're just like,
jeez, man, this really sucks.
Like his mom, his grandma, everybody there,
like this is horrible.
And then we're like, we have to play the next day
because we were playing the Mets
and they were still in the playoff, you know, race.
So like we had to play like MLB was like, gotta do this.
So we were like, all right,
like how are we going to play this game right now?
And I remember it being the whole day
was just really, really weird
because it was just not a normal day.
You know, the lock everybody,
his lockers still there, everything's in it the same
the way you left it.
Right.
We all had Fernandez jerseys and you go out to the stadium
like to go play the game.
And it's actually relatively full, you know,
for a Marlins game and it's dead silent in there.
Like nobody's talking.
And as you guys run out on the line to run
to warm up for the game and they start clapping,
like everyone starts clapping
and you just lost it at that point.
Like it was like, all right,
I'm crying on a major league baseball field right now.
Like everybody is, you know, Stan, D. Gordon, myself,
like all these guys that you never really would see cry
ever in your life.
You never imagined that was like Tyler Sobbing
and D. Gordon hit a Homer.
And the funny thing about that is
during spring training that year,
D signed a ball for one of Jose's nephews or friends.
And he was like, Jose was like, I love you, man.
Like, I know you don't, I know you don't believe me right now,
but I'm going to show you one day.
Like, I love you.
I'll show you.
And then he did his stance, turned around
and hit a Homer in the upper deck, which was,
I don't, I mean, that, yeah, that moment was unreal.
It was like a movie.
Yeah.
I mean, it was like, that's what I was saying.
Like the two days were like a movie.
They bring the hearse to the field the next day
and it's pouring rain, like it's pouring rain outside.
We're all standing outside.
The hearse pulls up and it stops in front of the team
and the rain goes, stop completely.
And it was just nuts, man.
It was a crazy few days.
It's something that I'll never forget,
but it makes you, it makes you appreciate the game
and it makes you appreciate moments like this more
because you realize like how fast it can all be gone.
It's good that you were, you know, around,
you had all those teammates and all those close friends
that were doing the same thing at the same time.
It was definitely, it definitely made it easier and better
just to be around with those guys
and to experience something like that.
But yeah, it was, it was definitely a crazy time.
That's an incredible moment.
I can see how something like that would kind of just,
it would change everything for that franchise.
Yeah.
Everybody that experienced that,
nobody's going to be the same afterwards.
And then you had Marlins band boycott the franchise.
So then it's like, yeah, double tragedy right there.
Marlins man trying to make it about himself.
Do you still keep in touch with John Carlo?
And do you call him Mike?
Which one?
Yeah, I call him Mikey.
Were you there when he made the switch?
Yeah, I wasn't on.
I don't think I was in the big leagues yet,
but I know we're kind of from the same area in LA.
So I've known him for a long time.
I call him Mikey or G or never.
I don't think I've called him John Carlo one time.
But yeah, we still, we still talk and keep in touch.
We usually have like a,
sometimes I have a little group chat with Ozone dependent on.
Okay, nice.
You know, the stuff that he does.
I was like, yeah, yeah.
I do something pretty funny every now and then
and I'll send it in there and get the talking.
Were you, were you intimidating California teenager?
Cause I have a big phobia for California teenagers.
No, I'm assuming you were.
Really?
Yeah.
Like you, did you skateboard?
No, not really.
Okay.
You got to hear though.
Like you were good at baseball really early.
Yeah. And like you were just cooler than everyone.
Did you notice that?
Like.
No, I don't think I was intimidating at all.
Would you ever see like obvious tourists just like
walking around town and be like, look at this narco.
Yeah.
This cop from the Midwest.
Yeah.
Sometimes it depends where you go though.
Like where I'm from is not really like a big touristy area.
But if you go to like Santa Monica or you're down in
Hollywood or something, obviously it's a big tourist place.
When did you smoke your first cigarette?
Like eight or nine years old?
I've actually never smoked a cigarette.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Which is like the after this.
I'll get you two cigarettes.
Do you, do people still bring up the video of you eating ass?
Every day.
Literally there's not a day that goes by.
You see that video?
I haven't seen that one though.
Yeah. It was, it wasn't actually Christian yellow.
So we'll clear that up.
I think it's been cleared up many times,
but there is a porn video and a guy looks exactly like him.
My twin.
Yeah.
Maybe it was Pete Davidson.
That's what he actually, he actually texted me after that
and said, Hey, how do we got a sex date?
We, he texted you?
So you guys talk?
Yeah.
Oh really?
Cause they came, he came out to New York when we were playing
the Mets a few years back and they gave him one of my jerseys
and he came out and stretched with us, did this whole skit.
That's awesome.
He took batting practice and did shagging.
So we kind of got to know each other then and we've,
we've kept in touch a little bit.
So that popped up and he was like, Hey,
you guys should have released like a joint statement.
Yeah.
Like we didn't do this.
We both think it's not us.
Or just blaming the other guy.
You think it's definitely.
How weird is that?
Like being like, Hey, listen,
as much as I want to be the guy eating ass on the internet,
that wasn't me.
Well, I mean, for all the,
all the blowback and fallout that came from it,
I might as well just eat on it.
You know what I mean?
At that point, I was like, well,
but that's an all time.
It's a unique experience to say the least.
It's something that you don't really think
is ever going to happen.
And did you have a moment where you're like, wait,
was that me?
Yeah. At first when I was like,
cause the guy looked just like me.
And I was like, there's no way like,
it was like noon.
Like I didn't eat that ass.
Yeah. It was like, it was like,
it was like, yeah, it was like,
it was like noon.
And I was like, no, that's definitely,
cause the guy looked just like me.
Oh man.
Like a twin basically.
And I was like, no, that's, that's not me.
Yeah.
And I texted it to our,
I texted it to our PR guy at the Mar,
with the Marlins cause it was starting to blow up at the time.
I was like, Hey dude, like here's this video.
It's pretty big deal now.
Like I don't, I don't really know.
I don't really know how you want to attack this
or what angle you want to go with.
And the only thing you texted me back was,
are you sure it's not you?
Yeah.
I was like, yeah, I'm sure it's not me.
But we were in Philly at the time.
And when I realized it wasn't going to be that bad,
I was like, Philly fans are kind of nuts.
Yeah.
And they're like, we love you dude.
Like, oh yeah.
They, yeah.
I'm my favorite player.
Yeah.
Philly fans eat gasty food.
Yeah.
They have no problem with that.
They're like, Pat Burrell, if you come here,
they're like, you'll be my favorite player.
That's true.
Like it's, it's the Philly world series.
And then Pat Burrell's ability to, to bed women.
Now those are like the two biggest accomplishments
in Philly's history.
So now every single night, somebody brings it up.
Especially if we're on the road,
like somebody will say something
or I'll get a tweet or two about it,
which now it's just funny.
I think it's funny.
Right.
Some girl brought a sign last year that said that.
And then.
It's okay.
She's watching it.
It's not bad.
So it's pretty well known.
Yeah.
It's known around like the league too.
Yeah.
Like guys around the league know about it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's good though.
That's kind of like a, yeah.
It's a bad boy rep.
Yeah.
What are you going to do, right?
Yeah, exactly.
Let's do a Seeky question.
You put in promo code take.
You get $10 off and go see Christian play in Miller Park.
$10 off the promo code take.
The Seeky question.
Oh, if you had to face Hader, a hundred at bats,
how many hits would you get?
Oh, I'm over two with two strikeouts right now.
So we're not really, we're not really on a great pace.
Yeah.
I feel like over a hundred, there's a couple
that would sneak in there where there wouldn't be
a whole lot.
Would you ever lean into one
and like take one off the elbow?
I mean, maybe after a few of those,
I just have to, it's hard to describe what it's like facing,
especially as a left-handed hitter.
He's real across his body and it's hard to pick it up
and where you think he's throwing it from.
He's really not.
And he just strikes out everybody.
Yeah.
It's unbelievable what he's doing.
I mean, he almost has a hundred strikeouts
somewhere at the all-star break, right?
Yeah, he's unreal.
And he's out of the bullpen.
He's got like 45 innings or something like that.
And he's an awesome guy too.
Like, he's just, everyone's brother,
hey brother, how's it going?
Just like that.
And then he just runs out of the bullpen,
punches, tickets, and then he's like, all right.
All right, last question for me.
Have you ever had a run-in with Joe West?
Not, nothing.
I already did a C-Kick.
Nothing bad, actually.
Joe's one of those umpires where if you show,
like as a young, when you're rookie
and you're coming up in the league
and you don't disrespect him or,
he's the old-school umpire, so.
Kiss the ring a little bit.
Yeah, if you do something, like if he's.
Tickle the gullet.
If he punches you out on a borderline pitch
and you're a rookie and you turn back
and you start yelling at him.
You.
That's a wrap for you for the rest of that day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And probably for the next,
he's gonna remember.
Yeah.
Probably for the next few years.
I love him since Joe West, don't forget.
But if he does that and you don't say anything
and you treat him.
He's like, hey, it's a guy, he's asking you.
Yeah, he's breaking you in.
I remember I had a time where that's happened
where I is my first, my first year so in the league,
but I didn't say anything.
I just like, okay, all right, cool.
Cool.
Like I see how, I see how this is.
So like, all right, just kind of walked away
and me and Joe have been like really,
like we've always been on,
we've always been on really good terms and.
Are there some umps that you're not?
You don't have to name names, but like some umps that,
you know, you've had a couple of run-ins.
There's probably a few.
Have you been tossed?
Yeah, once last year against the Cardinals.
For what?
Balls and strikes.
But I was trying.
You were ready to hit the showers.
So we were, we were just getting it handed to us
last year in May with the Marlins.
And we were playing the Cardinals actually
and Wainwright, Kerbal, Backdoor, Yachty, like stuck it.
Ah, like, it's like really dude.
Like this is how it's going to go.
And it's in Marlins Park, actually.
And the videos on you that you can hear
the whole conversation is not so great words being said,
which I think I'm going to get tossed right there.
Like, all right, I'm for sure getting thrown out right here.
And he wouldn't throw me out.
So I was like trying like all of them,
all the magic tricks basically where if you do this,
like usually it's automatic ejection.
Right.
Wouldn't do it.
And I was like, what do I do now?
I was like, I got to go.
Yeah.
Get spit on his face.
So I was yelling at him.
We were cussing at each other.
I pointed to where it was.
And I was like, God, that'll do it.
Nothing.
I was like, what do I do now?
Kicked where I thought it was as I was walking.
I was like, this will do it.
Nothing still.
And I was like, what do I do?
And then I got back to the dugout.
I got hit all the way back into the dugout.
Still nothing.
I was like, you got to throw a bat under the field.
I should have been gone five minutes ago.
Because this was going on for a while.
And I got the, you better stop.
Still nothing.
Didn't stop.
Turn around in the dugout, yelled.
And that's what finally got me thrown out.
And then Donnie got thrown out like 30 seconds later.
And this was the bottom of the first.
This is the second batter in the bottom of the first.
Holy shit.
So wait, I'm always curious.
We'll wrap up on this.
When you go in, when your manager gets tossed,
you get tossed.
You guys sit together?
We did, yeah.
Well, he went and checked.
Donnie went and checked in the video room
to see if it was a ball or strike.
This whole time, just like, please, please, please,
don't be wrong.
Be a ball.
Be a ball.
And then you just sit there and watch the rest of the game
and just do like, fuck that guy.
Oh, shit.
As soon as he looks at it, he's like, you kidding me?
And I was like, ah.
It was a strike?
No, it was a ball.
It was a ball.
It was like, it was a fairly bad one too.
So I was like, I felt a little better.
Yeah, you were vindicated.
I felt a little better about it.
And then I watched the game with Donnie in his office.
And we ended up blowing like a five run lead in the eighth.
And that's like, not a good place to be with you.
It's not a good place to be with your manager.
So awkward.
At the time of the, at the time of the leads getting blown.
And I was just sitting like, oh, man.
Because after you get thrown out, you just go in the clubhouse.
And it's completely, nobody's in there, obviously.
And mine was in the first inning.
So by the time you cool off from everything you did,
you're kind of sitting there like, ah, would you do that for?
Like, now you've got to sit here for, you know,
three hours and the game's going on.
You should probably still be out there, you know,
grinding with the boys.
But you got tossed.
And I was like, ah.
You know, so that was the only time I've been injected
and actually talked to the umpire the next day,
where I was like, hey, dude, like you gave me like seven
chances to stay in that game.
And I just wasn't having like, I just needed to go.
And he was like, no, it's all good, man.
Like, it's part of it happens.
You know, it was evolved and like, all right, cool.
So we were actually pretty good terms.
The guy threw me out.
Yeah.
But it's funny how that spreads through the league.
Because I had umpires coming up to me for like the next couple
months.
He's like, what are you doing getting thrown out?
And I was like, oh, I was kind of wanted to be thrown out
of a major.
Like it's kind of like a bucket list.
Right.
You got to get thrown out at least one time.
And that was my time.
You get like a letter from MLB and it has like quotes
like what you did and what you said to get thrown out.
That's great.
Frame it.
Yeah.
It was like $500.
So it was like.
That's worth it.
Yeah, that's definitely worth it.
So I got the letter still, which is kind of cool.
That's awesome.
But yeah, I mean, all the umpires are cool for the most part.
I think the reason why it was so hard for you to throw out
was because you did let Joe West punch you out.
And he didn't say anything.
Because Joe West is like, he's the chatterbox of the group.
So he lets people know, hey, this kid, Pete Davidson,
he's a good shit.
And he might, Joe might not even know.
But that's what I think.
Yeah.
I mean, I think I'm like, I didn't say anything.
So like, yeah, we're cool.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, Christian, thank you so much, man.
Congrats on the All-Star game.
Good luck being sellers of the deadline.
I appreciate you doing this.
And maybe next year be in the home run derby.
Yeah, we'll see.
That'd be pretty awesome.
If you win the home run derby, what would you do?
I guess we'd have to eat crow.
What are we going to eat?
Well, eat a crow's ass.
Someone already did that.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We'll eat each other's ass.
I'll go down on a crow's ass.
If you win the home run derby, we'll eat each other's ass.
I'll go down on a crow's ass.
No, I'm going to lick a crow's butthole.
That's what I'll do.
I'll one up the guy.
You're never going to win a home run derby.
I'm fine with that.
I'll just kill myself if you do.
That's fine.
Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
I always have an out.
Oh, man.

So I guess you get a bonus point for that. That's kind of cool, but everything else not so good
Yeah, yeah, the internet's having one right now, and I think it's because he gave up that home run
Yeah, this has been a bad night for Josh Hader. All right, and we also have the al is now up seven five
We're just gonna live so if you miss the all-star game if you want to sleep early
Good news is you can listen to part of my take and we'll just tell you what happens as it happens
All right, let's go to some segments first up
We have bachelor talk for guys that don't watch the bachelor Hank take us away had her bouncing on my dick like a seesaw
Oh, that's another hater. Is that bachelor? Oh, that's another Josh. Yeah, that one's good for him
Yes, he saws are fun need a bitch that can fuck cook clean, right? Mm-hmm Josh, right?
That's right. Oh clean, right or right like as in W. All right clean. No, no RIG HT
Oh, okay. I thought maybe he was looking for like a novelist. Yeah, that would be very progressive. Yes
Yes, this one probably not so much. Oh here. Here's one that is
This one's probably taken out of context. Okay. I hate gay people. Oh, that's it. That's the entire tweet. Oh, yeah
So, you know, who knows happy dude. Yeah, what do you mean? Yeah, maybe he's having a down month. Let's not yeah
Jesus Josh. Yeah, not good. And that's not even his real problem. You'd read the ones you could read. Yeah
All right Hank, give it to us. All right, it is hometown week
Blake took Becca to his old school in Colorado where he revealed that there was a school shooting and it taught him to cherish life
Wait, so you went to calm on that's a pretty pretty heavy pretty romantic pretty heavy for a date
Yeah, all right. Why does he have to politicize this?
Now's not the time to talk about it. Yeah
Jason took Becca to Buffalo. Yes played hockey there. Hell. Yes. Okay. Okay. That's that's a winner right there
So we he's up. He's up one right now. I mean, what else?
Also, this is kind of a big miss if you're gonna take your date to Buffalo and not throw her through a table
Yeah, you might as well not go to Buffalo. Well, just and there's nothing like eating way too many Buffalo wings sex
Yeah, that's the best a beef on Weck for her. Yeah, the lady and
three dozen
9-1-1 wings you ever think you do you think he was like, hey, why don't we just go in the back of my pickup truck?
And you give me a blowjob while I wear my Zubas or hey
Why don't we hang out in the bill's parking lot and I'll trade you my Kiko Alonzo Jersey for some head for a blowjob
And then Colton took Becca home and she talked to his mom about being a virgin and then Tia who was on Ari season with Becca
Told Becca. She still had feelings for Colton. So Becca's tent Colton home. Oh
That was the word that was that was like Becca was smart to not send him home right away when he was like
I'm a virgin she waited a week, but that was what happened. I'm telling you this virgin thing plays
I think it absolutely plays it's like
Women just like the rest of us love it love a conquest
They love a chase and what better chase than like a 30-year-old guy
That's like I could have had sex, but I've never had never done it
All right. Well, I guess that means that we're down to two, right? Mm-hmm. Wow. So
Is that what that means hometown week is the last three I think so you just had yeah, there's only three of them
So must be when do they do what do you got worse? What do you got? I had the Buffalo like your Jason Jason?
Yeah, Jason. Yeah, well, I would say Jason based on the Buffalo date
But I don't see I don't see how a guy named Blake can lose bachelors especially after the emotional
Oh, this is like that's he wasn't the emotional route and that shit plays that just sounds like
Hey, this is where the school shooting happened route
That's always if you name your kid Blake you do so knowing for a fact that he will win at least one reality TV competition
It's life. Yeah, if this Blake gets wins it
We would like him on part of my take because we are the preeminent Blake podcast
All right PR 101 Mike trout. So this happened
This was a story today that Kenneth Freed who formerly of the Denver Nuggets now of the
Brooklyn Nets you didn't even realize he was traded, but he was
Has a higher Q rating which is basically the rating of like how many people have like name recognition on you
Yeah, then Mike trout the best player in all baseball
I don't want to get like too conspiracy through you on you guys here, but isn't it a little odd that your Q rating
Tells you how anonymous you are. Hmm. Hashtag Q Anon. Oh
Don't go there and Roseanne will tell you all about it go there. This this is and this is like
This is one of those things that I it could totally be it's like an onion headline
But it also could very well be true because baseball like this is the problem with baseball is that their best player is
Not that like people probably you walked on the street like Mike trout like oh
Who's that because he plays for the angels and he doesn't have a personality? Yeah, correct?
He needs to move to a bigger market like Los Angeles. Maybe yeah, that might do with Bryce
Bryce and Mike trout. Well, he's already in Los Angeles in in the Dodgers. No, but the Dodgers
I mean, yeah, the Anaheim's not lost. Yeah, they tried you could always do something just like buy a shitload of billboards
Yeah face on it or challenge of our ball to a one-on-one game. There you go. That would be big
Here's one thing I didn't realize about Mike trout. I've never heard him talk before tonight
Yes, and so they had him mic'd up in the outfield and Joe buck asked him about the weather
They asked about the weather so like who says baseball has a problem with promoting the young players
His voice is I put it this way. It's not what you'd expect from Mike trout
What does that mean? I thought that he would be like, you know, have a little country twang
He seems like a guy that is Billy guy and then Jersey
Yeah, but he seems like a guy that affects a country accent based on just like, you know going to baseball practice for 20 years
Right, he doesn't I'll put it sounds more urban than I thought it would sound. Okay. He's got like a little Bruce Ariens thing going
That's not a good thing that we just don't even know what my trouts. I know that's what I was shocked
I've had this is my truck. We should have my trout on the show next week
I'm just yeah, like I talked to a random person on the street
He should get a neck tattoo because have you seen how big his neck is? Yeah, like you could put a fucking mural
Oh, he should put like the little brawn James welcome to LA mural on his yes
And then people will finally be like oh, and I'm his people in the LA market
And then he'll get swarmed by people trying to deface the mural on his neck. Yes, and so everybody will know what he looks like
I like that. I like that. So Mike trout just do any of these things and you'll
Just challenge the bar ball. Yes, like that would be the easiest thing ever
It's like the bar ball don't slander LeBron fight me play me one on one
By the way, I think I I'm kind of with Hank we talked about this earlier staying woke on the Q rating
I'm kind of thinking that the Q rating is is a load of shit because there's no chance that this is actually
True, but yeah, he his recognition is the same as what Kenneth Farid. Yeah, that's why they just they went on a list
Yes, that's why it's the only it just picked
Yeah, they picked the one name that was like just far enough down that you're like I recognize that name
But there's no way this could be true
But maybe it is like it's the perfect name to pick because they said like John Wall or Bradley Beale or like
You know like any like pretty much like our Damien Lillard. You're like, of course
Yes, that makes sense, but Kenneth Farid it's like it's like, okay, Tony stills a little too far. Yeah, you know, our DeRosin
It was like DeMar DeRosin then Kenneth Farid. Yeah, like, okay. All right. Let's go back. Yeah, we'll do Kenneth Farid
All right, we have embraced the bait. So this went viral on Monday night
There was a picture and a video of a guy who called the cops during a pickup game because he was fouled too hard
So the question is embrace the bait
When is it okay to call the police during a pickup game? I
Would say if somebody calls a charge against you, you can call the cops if someone tries to play zone defense
Yeah, if they're playing zone and pick up yeah, absolutely
This is this is such an outrageous story, but I kind of believe it because oh, yeah
I've been in pickup games before where guys will be like
They'll get so upset that they'll leave the gym because they got fouled so it's a really just the next step is call the police
Yeah, if
If the guy there's always like one guy that brings his girlfriend in to just like and forces her to watch him play basketball
If that happens, then that's that's technically kidnapping. Yeah, so you should call the cops in that circumstance
Yep, if you're playing like an adult league kickball game and a guy is wearing cleats and soccer socks
Yep, I think you need to get all the cops. That's a pre that's pre crime was that I know
I saw the picture was the guy with the shooting sleeve the guy who got called the cops on yes
That was he said it's a screen. That was too hard. Okay. Well actually now that I'm starting now
I'm saying a lot if you're wearing a camo shooting sleeve you probably should have the cops called on you
So maybe if he had just said that instead of it was a foul
He probably would it like people are like, you know what that's not a bad idea two things number one
That's also stolen valor so that is a crime if you're wearing the camo shooting sleeve number two
If it's really good camouflage, you definitely don't see the guy coming. So it's a blonde side true every time true
He's like basically just wearing a Julie suit up. Also shouldn't you have called the cops on his teammates for not calling out the screen?
Yeah, that's actually the real that's a real crime
Yeah, you got your teammate has to tell you whether or not you're going above the someone. Yeah, someone who plays
You know pick up hoops and has terrible basketball skills calling out screens is like the number one part of my game
It's just like always talking so people like oh, he's a good teammate even though he can't do anything offensive
Hank, would you ever call the cops on somebody invest?
What if they euro stepped nope, ooh, what if I dunked on you?
What if I learned how to dunk and dunk on you all in the game ball sack in your mouth their game?
What if they insist on playing by twos and threes? I
Played by Tuesday sometimes. Yeah kind of fun. Yeah, I liked ones and twos. Yeah, I played I played on Saturday
You're an outside threat. Oh, you're an outside threat like me
No, well if you took the time to break down the scoring
Playing by ones and twos is actually way more advantageous if you're a good outside shooter
Yeah, because they're worth twice as double. Okay, so I'm not a nerd. Oh, I played analytics last week
I played ones and two hydro girl. I showed up and the guys were playing ones and twos to 16
Very very. Yeah, I didn't I didn't ask. I was like, well, okay
I guess that's the rule
I would call the cops on the game that was being played ahead of me if they were playing
16 and then once we won a game, we're like, all right, now we're gonna actually play to a real number 15
Uh-huh. I would say also if if like a terrorist attack is being plotted during the game
Yeah, you can call the cops. Okay, that's very you can dark. Yes. See something say something exactly
That's exactly what I do. All right. Let's get two guys on chicks wrap it up
before we get to guys on chicks by the way shout out to
The award-winning listener we saw at the bar tonight who told us that her fiance was at the all-star game because he said
It was the most important game of the year and we're like, oh, well, that's probably cheating on you
Yeah, it was a lie that he told oh that could credit that guy for coming up with the all-star game is the most
Babe, I really gotta go
That was one of those ones we said it out loud and she like had a face
She's like, oh, baby. If I don't go to the all-star game. I'm gonna be lost for the entire second half of the season
I'm not gonna know what's going on. Yeah, no chance, but she did buy us shots of Jamal. So shout out to her
We've got another we got another home run Joe Vado. It's a six now
Now we need this score to hold up because I took the American League
I took the over half I should get double points because the overs it's now 14 the over of seven. That's how it works
Yep. All right, Hank, let's do it
I've been saving up for a boob job and my boyfriend offered me money from his medical school loan to pay for the last few thousand
Should I take it?
I'm not exactly sure how fraud works
But if you get a loan to go to college and use it to pay for your girlfriend's boob job
I think that's what he's trying to be a doctor. That's a medical procedure. It is true
I think that's okay
I think like boob job is one of those things that no matter what your loan is for
It's understood that if you get the chance to pay for a boob job those funds can be applied
I would not do it because I feel like when you break up like that's a messy
Yeah, like I want those back. Yeah, like a dog. It's like a ring. Yeah, so I would probably avoid that just be like
Why don't you pay for something? Why don't you pay for a nice dinner? I'll pay for my own boobs
My ex ghosted me 14 months ago after the Homer and Derby. He texted me
Fucking bullshit. Schwerber got robbed. What does it mean? Does he want to get back together or does Schwerber hitting bombs make him miss me?
He was probably meaning to text somebody else
He's probably meaning to tweet me when I said that I didn't care that Schwerber got robbed. Yeah
Uh, yeah, that's uh, I guess I got people that upset that they just like actually this is good
Give it a shot. Yeah, you know shoot your shot. You guys are back in touch very worst case scenario
He just doesn't respond to you and baseball. This is this isn't added to the analytics baseball
So back that it's getting people back together. Mm-hmm
Why does it hurt less for a girl to pee out a kidney stone?
They have those
I didn't know that women had kidneys. I didn't know they had kidney stones
I thought I thought you had to drink a lot of milk and girls don't drink milk
All girls are lactose intolerant right because no no because when girls drink milk it goes to their boobs
Yeah, so that they can give it to the baby later. Yeah, so this is uh, I think it's
I think this is a guy that was pretending that he was yeah, he was and he doesn't know how you know what male anatomy works
Yeah, this is a guy who's got an abnormally large pee hole
So the kidney stone he pissed out didn't hurt that much and he's like, why is this?
His his pee hole is so big. It looks like a vagina. Mm-hmm
Hate to see it
Sup guys, especially broken like bubba. So
I find myself getting mad when girls slide in my boyfriend's dms
But he seems to not care when the guys slide in mine
Especially after a recent bikini pic I posted. Why doesn't it bother him?
P. S. How's the object Hank?
Well, I don't know because I don't have a vagina
So is so your boyfriend's Todd Haley and you're definitely going to be swingers at some point
Yeah, he's he's just seeing how that plays for you. He's like, hey, that's kind of cool that you're getting these dms
Um, it's either that or just waiting to use it against you in a fight. He's like storing that up
Yeah, it could be that or it could just be like he he likes the fact that guys find his girlfriend attractive
Yeah, like maybe that makes him feel good about that's the most important thing about a guy dating a girl
He has to feel good that other people also want to date. Yeah, yes
Have other people be like, hey, your chick's hot. Yeah, otherwise
There's no way there's no way for us to know if you're hot right unless somebody else is trying to bang you right
All right last one. Uh, hi
Sometimes my boyfriend initiates sex in his sleep. Yeah, how can I tell if he's consciously doing it or not sexomniac?
Yeah, it just happens. You just get a boner and sleep
But how can she tell if he's consciously doing it or not have a have a password
Create a password and have it be like some other chick's name
Have him remember it and then you can be like if you call me amanda. Yeah, then that means that you're awake. Yes, exactly
Yeah, have a yeah have a password or maybe like a little maybe
Teach me how to do a rubus cube and hand it to him. Well right before you have sex while you're asleep. That's a really good idea
Yeah, that's pretty sexy. Actually. Yeah, it just makes like math learning fun
All that stuff actually one more. Um, my boyfriend listens to too much pmt and talks about it so much and I can't keep pretending to care
How do I get him to stop without listening or make him think I care?
Stop being such a bitch
Listen, listen, don't try to change him. He's got his interest. Okay. Yeah, he's just got he just wants to hang out with us
He doesn't hang out guys. You know what you need to do?
Safe place you need to get obsessed with the bill Simmons podcast or something like that
Yeah, and then just like talk to him about uh, bill Simmons's dad and new kids on the blog
I just say ask if everything's good or not. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure. Is this sex good or not? Yeah, do we know exactly?
So, yeah, but really just leave him alone. Let him have a safe space. I can't tell if I came or not yet
Isn't that weird?
It's like, you know, just just kind of like riff using bill Simmons's language just like he's doing and yeah, it'll it'll be great
Yeah, all right American League one eight to six. Wow breaking news first reported cash
So first reported happy. I am okay. Uh, we'll see you guys friday. We're back in studio. We have
Dallas braden
Yeah
I fly ball well hit
Right Senate this could be it and there it goes
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
It's part of my take presented by bar stool sports
