for the boys. Put that on a shirt. Frye energy. Hey, PFC real quick question though, before we jump into some things, that hat is sick. Yeah, so is yours. Oh! No cap.

Yeah, no cap, but the caps are sick. We put up some new hats. They're fucking awesome. Caps here. So let's talk some sports. Where do we want to start? Let's start in the fact that every Thursday for the past month I've woken up thinking

that it's the day of the NFL draft and it's not. It's not. NFL PR guy who by the way has maybe the best Twitter handle out there. I don't even know if he's a real person. Yup. It's just at NFL PR guy. He tells you exactly what he is from the get go.

I think like two weeks ago he said that tonight is draft night and it's like, no, you still have three more weeks left. I'm gonna give credit though to the NFL draft analysts and talking heads because you would say to yourself, well, we've picked these guys apart so much and we've talked about them so much, but I think whoever is running the big narrative

machine in the sky has done a pretty good job of spacing it out in the fact that like Justin Fields' epilepsy was not something I thought we'd get to, but we had enough time to get to it. That's true. Yeah. So good job. If the draft wasn't pushed back this far,

we might never have found out about it. Right. They saved it. They were like, hey, a week before, let's drop the epilepsy story. We're gonna stash that one away because people are gonna be starved for some news, but it is weird seeing like Mac Jones climbing,

Mac Jones falling, McCorkle back. Trey Lance falling. Trey Lance out, Trey Lance in. I just, I think that there's gonna be, after Mac goes, I think that it's just gonna be like two quarterbacks immediately after him. Yes. And then Sam Elinger might as well,

he might creep into the first round too. Right. It's like playing fantasy football 10 years ago when you would take Carson Palmer in like the second round because all the other good quarterbacks went right away and you're like, shit, shit, shit. All right, Carson Palmer. Also big shout out to Nick Siriani.

He's a coach of the Eagles. Yes. People forgot that. I could understand it. He leaked the news himself. He put the news out there that he was evaluating draft prospects by asking them to play rock, paper, scissors against them, much like our sweet Hank.

He probably stole the idea from Hank. He probably saw stool streams and took it. Jenga next. So I think I would have liked this story if someone else had reported it. Like if a prospect had said to somebody, well, the Eagles coach said that he wanted to play rock, paper, scissors to see how competitive I was.

Right. But the fact that he put it out there, he's like, look at this cool, smart, awesome football guy thing that I did. He's trying to get us to be like, hey, football guy of the week, Nick Siriani, he deserves to be there. Well, we're too smart for that.

We're more focused on the Portland State basketball coach who drives around in a car with no air conditioning. Yeah. Dan Campbell would not put, I guarantee you Dan Campbell has played rock, paper, scissors with somebody that he's evaluating. Yes. But it's just like, which one of these things

would you most like me to kill you with? Well, no, yeah. Dan Campbell plays it with actually a rock, a paper, and a scissors. Yes. And rock always wins. Rocks at each other. This is a rock throwing contest.

In Dan's mind, it's like, how the fuck could paper beat a rock? I'll demonstrate right now how a rock beats paper and he just throws it at you. It's the scene in Braveheart. When the big guy throws a huge boulder and then the little guy just throws a fucking rock at his head.

Yes. That's Dan Campbell figuring out your competitiveness. Yeah. But the fact that Nick Siriani himself put it out there, it's like, okay, I'm officially skeptical of Nick Siriani at this point. Yes. I'd agree.

Can we put the Portland State coaches, Simon Bight in there? Because that was just about to bring this guy out. See, this is what, it really does work with Nick Siriani because Nick Siriani wants to be this guy. Even though this guy reported himself, you could tell.

He said, well, let's play the clip. The other thing is, is I'm hungry and passionate. I don't eat breakfast in the morning so I can come to work hungry. So when I get to lunch, I'm hungry. And that's just the kind of person I am. I know my 2003 Chevy Tahoe's got a lot of play this week so far, but it doesn't have AC and it doesn't have heat.

And the reason I do that is so I can practice my mental toughness during the winter when it's cold and I can practice my mental toughness during the summer when it's hot. That's the type of person I am. I don't eat breakfast so that I'm always hungry. That's, I mean, I believe him and he's just driving around in a hot ass car,

dying of thirst, dying of hunger, being like, well, people are gonna know I'm tough. I'm the coach of Portland State. Football guys, and I know he's a basketball coach, but he is a football guy. We've had that before. The biggest thing with them is they just, they take metaphors literally.

Like Amelia Baddilya. They're like, he probably, shout out Amelia Baddilya. Shout out AB. When they read Animal Farm, they were probably like, that's a fucking crazy story about pigs talking. Yeah, why the hell were all the pigs, why did the pigs fucking run that farm? But his whole thing is like,

I want to be uncomfortable all the time so that I'm never comfortable because when you get comfortable, you get complacent. So that's why I won't install heat or air conditioning in my car. And the best part about it is, it's Portland State. Yeah, I remember. Like if that was his press conference,

he was, you know, announced the Lakers head coach and be like, damn, whatever he was doing, working. And he could be, you know, he's probably climbing the career ladder, but Jake, do you know this guy? Did he just get hired at Portland State? No, he was, he was an assistant and worked his way up the ranks.

He's been there for a while now. But it's still Portland State. It's still Portland State. It seems comfortable. Yes, it seems very uncomfortable. He's like, I removed the rear view mirrors in my car. Well, that's Jimmy Butler. Because I can't look back.

Jimmy Butler actually did that. Yeah, actually, wait, that's right. Yes, he did. Jay Butt did that. He did do that, very dangerous. There's being gritty and there's just like not being comfortable. Yeah.

What were you gonna say? I actually was thinking of the other video that went viral this week, the Montana Tech football coach. Oh, that's an old video. With all the sayings. But it went re-viral. Play that one too.

Exactly. It's a great one. That's a great one. The key to the win was that the Ordingers took control early. Kind of like when you get married. That first day, your wife takes control early. And that's what the Ordingers did. Our football team was like the kid

that plays second French horn in the school band. We got to play better. You know, and that's a double edged sword. You know, it's kind of like watching your mother log off a cliff in the Cadillac. You know, you got mixed feelings. First of all, they got after it hard. I'm telling you, they were like a whole bow

on a hand sandwich. They were going hard all the way. He's like that black lab on the first day of Fez and Hutton season. He was pulling at the chain. We're kind of like a woodpecker in a petrified forest. You know, just keep busy and look for opportunities. I wanted to raise my kids using a depth chart.

Can you imagine that? I wanted that. Pam Green v. told that idea. I got a short memory, just like when I was in the third grade, two of the best years of my life. I don't like that bottled water. I like that butte water. You get to eat and drink at the same time.

Some aspects look like we're really ready to play. A couple of other aspects look like we just got off Willie Nelson's tour bus. His attitude's positive. He thinks he could take on hell with a squirt gun. It's kind of like that T-Bone steak dinner with all the trimmings. They played a complete game. You know, with Jacksonville, what more can happen?

Jacksonville's so bad they sentenced prisoners to attend the games. Everybody expects you to win. My wife couldn't go to church with me on Sunday. And everybody said, where is she? I said, she doesn't go out with losers. I had a six ACT in 1967. One time I got an A and my grandma beat me for cheating.

Get all the calls I made on fourth down all those years. You know what my favorite fourth down call was? What? Punt. It was the most successful play we had. All right. Other things, other thoughts I wrote down. Mark Davis isn't smart.

You think? So we taped earlier on Tuesday, so we missed the Raiders tweet. It was a situation where I think it was a bad tweet, but it also was the internet just loves a pile on. But I love the idea that Mark Davis credit to him for just owning all of it, sort of. But also being like, I'm not very smart. Like I'm not a smart guy.

I don't really understand this. I actually think that every NFL owner should be the only people that tweet from the main account. Yeah. Every tweet should be like, there should not be communication staff. It should be directly from the brain of that owner at all. Like the Cowboys Twitter account would be incredible.

It would be accidentally retweeting porn stars all the time. I would 100% pay for an only fan to Mark Davis. Yeah. No, I don't want any nudity. I just want him eating a PF Changs, him saying bad tweets out loud, him just looking like a fucking weirdo. Just all of that. I would pay to watch Mark Davis.

Mark Davis could like save a reality television station that struggles. MTV, stop playing ridiculousness. Just follow Mark Davis around with the camera. Mark TV. Yeah. I like the idea of that a lot. And we don't need nudity, but I wouldn't

turn away like a lot of camel toe, a lot of the white track suit that he rocks. I wouldn't be shocked if he was a Ken doll. There's just nothing. Nothing. He might be the unsullied. Yes. There's just nothing.

I actually. He doesn't even pee or poop. So there's going to be, because his body is so efficient. Yeah, right. He just uses all the energy that he does. Just thinking of Mark Davis taking his white jeans, his skin tight white jeans off, and it's just Ken doll. You're probably not far off.

I don't like to think about his genitals. But I do like, I like the tight track suit that he wears. It's very funny because he's oblivious to everything. He just walks around totally oblivious. I think that every professional sports owner should, one, take a quiz before they buy the team to make sure that they're a fan of the team. We learned that this week from the Super League.

You have to be a fan first. And then second, you have to run the Twitter account by yourself all the time. And we are coming up on an event horizon issue with Raiders. Because Mark's mom is probably not going to stick around for that long. She's getting older. She's leaving.

She's getting older. She's getting older. And then when Mark gets the team, he's not going to have the money to pay the inheritance tax. And so he'll have to sell that team. Inheritance, yeah. I mean, it's been around for a while. But also, Biden, I think that we should maybe consider

putting together GoFundMe for Mark Davis so that he can purchase the team outright. Keep going to PF Changs. Yeah. I mean, we need Mark Davis to stick around the NFL. And that he would get offered so much money for the Raiders. It would be insane. So we got to figure out a way to keep Mark Davis hanging out.

Well, imagine if someone bought it. Do you think the person who bought it would be like so callous that they would put out the eternal flame? I was about to say they might turn him into the quasi-modo of the team where his job is just to take care of the flame. To tend to the flame.

Tend to the flame. To live in the flame tower. Yes, he's probably immune to it. Yeah. It's his own flesh and blood in there, yeah. He's got some Cheshuan beef that he's just grilling on the flame of his father. Yeah, he's got kebabs going all the time.

Whatever it takes to keep Mark Davis involved with the Raiders, I'm on board. I agree. The other story I wanted to address, back to the draft, I think you need to start stumping for Devante Smith because people are going after his height. And he's six feet. But they're more going after his weight.

But also his height. They're skin-shamed. They're both. They're going after both. They're saying he's not able to play at the big boy level? Yeah, which is crazy. Because I think that guy is going to be able to play at the big boy level.

I think he will, too. I am a fan of Devante Smith. I'm more of a fan. I'm a Kyle Pitts guy in the first round. And Kyle Pitts is incredible. Kyle Pitts is incredible. I don't know if I can let him into the Short King's club, though. He's six feet, yeah.

Six feet is like that's, I can't. But hold on. He gets matched with any girl he wants on Tinder because he's six feet tall. But here's the problem. This is a very important moment in height-shaming, where if six feet becomes the new height that you can shame, everyone under is very fucked.

So you need to defend the wall. Yeah. Although if it creeps, there are a lot of people who are exactly six feet that I would like to see taken down a peg because they reach the level of six feet and they're like, mom, I've made it. I'm a man now. Then they hold that over your tiny little head.

I'll statistically make $50,000 more a year. Exactly, because you're six feet instead of 5'11". So I'd like to see those guys just brought down to earth. I just love picking a part of every prospect. It is, the drafts should have happened two weeks ago. Yes, it should. 100%. There's also, I think, maybe the best play

in the history of sports happened last night. You talking about Home Run Guy? I'm talking about Joel M. Bede. Oh, I'm talking about Home Run Guy. The rebound off the foul shot throws the ball what, like, 70 feet with 0.8 seconds left? Yes. And it goes off the backboard,

hits off the rim twice and bricks. I don't care that it didn't go in. I think that is the best shot. Do you have a participation trophy to try? No, that's the best shot in NBA history. Was Gordon Hayward's the best shot in college history? Yes, it's one of them. It was.

Patrick Mahomes touchdown throw that didn't get the best throw I've ever seen on a football field. Aaron Rodgers has a bunch of those. Hank, his nickname isn't trust the results, it's trust the process. And the process of that shot, I'm not gonna base whether or not it was a good shot off if it wasn't.

It wasn't, it missed. It was a giant. It was so awesome watching him play. The most incredible thing I've ever seen on basketball court. I'll give you this piece. It was impressive that he got it out of his hands in 0.8 seconds. Someone replied with a,

whenever you like take the actual quotes from the show, you, I have a moment every now and then where I'm like, holy fuck, we're stupid. Someone was like, you guys talking about Joel and Bede, all you said was he's really big, his hands are big, the ball looks small. And when he falls, I think he's gonna get injured. Yep.

And that is NBA corner. I mean. Which part of my take? Act like that's not what you think when you watch Joel and Bede play basketball. Spot the lie. It's 100% true. Also shout out Steph Curry for just completely shitting

all over our MVP take on Tuesday, which is his worst game of the year. That's okay. I think I still won, but it was, Joe Kitch is our MVP. I was reminded, we're a Nuggets podcast. We forgot, we forgot our true, we're a Nuggets podcast. Here's something big, I know your brain is just soaked

in gambling logic. Yeah. There should be some, I should get some, I should get some type of, of course, I should get some type of reward or like bonus for picking Joe Kitch as my MVP last year. Like there should be some type of carry over. No.

I was on it. You're the one complaining about participation trophies? No. Because you were early on a take? No, but it's like, you know, you get a little warranty or like insurance, I guess. All right, fine. Fair, fair, but.

It's something I've been trying to, you know, wrap my brain around. You're just like us to say congratulations, thank you, you're very smart. No, it's just like, you know, bars and sports, like there's gotta be some next level, you know, bet we could offer. What?

Like MVP insurance or like warranty. If Hank predicts an MVP a year before it happens, Hank gets his money back. No, like, yeah, like, you know. You wanna predict any other, like our, I don't know, the Lakers gonna win another title at some point, ever? No, but, all right, all right, fine, fine. I think all I was saying was I was just,

I was just throwing it out there. I was just testing the waters. I wasn't saying it's a concrete idea. I wasn't presenting it. I was just merely asking you. I think, okay. If it's something we should consider. Okay, I think it's fair to give you,

I'm gonna give you 7% credit. 7% credit feels okay. 7% credit. All right. You good with that? That's something, yeah. Yeah, no, that feels appropriate to get the MVP a year before he was MVP, 7% credit.

I think that Arch Manning will be a great quarterback one day. Trevor Lawrence. I want you to credit me when that happens. Trevor Lawrence will go to the playoffs. Ah, his hair is too long. Yeah, his hair is too long. I actually have a take.

Right, but if you'd better go to the playoffs, I want the next year, like, you know. I've gotta take about Trevor Lawrence. I've been squatting on a little bit. I think that his artistic brother is doing all his interviews for him. He's a fucking cool guy. His what?

Brother? His artistic brother. Yes, his brother who is an artist. He's on the artist spectrum. Yes, he's a guitarist? Probably. Painter? Painter, guitarist.

With his guitar. With his guitar. Uh-huh. Williamsburg hat maker. That kind of guy. He is that kind of guy. He has a sustainable line of pants. Yeah.

Does he also have long hair? I'm assuming. Yeah, he does. They look, it's very actually interesting. I would like to see how their lives diverge so much. You don't really see, you usually see if a brother goes, if a guy goes to the NFL and his brother, you're like,

oh yeah, he was just a really good Division II college basketball or football player. Like to see it completely different job and be successful at it, I don't know. I'd like to talk to him. I think he smoked marijuana and Trevor didn't. He would have a red pill or a blue pill? Yeah, exactly.

He killed himself. The roads diverged at that point. Yeah. Gateway drug to becoming a hipster. I have another take as well. I think, so this is going to home run guy who shout out the goat. Hank slandered him on Monday's show.

He said, I will rectify this. I will catch a home run and then he did it. He put his money where his mouth is and there was no money involved but he fucking caught a home run right in your face, Hank. Yeah, sometimes you gotta motivate the players. I put him on my hot seat, now he's on the cool throne. No, I think what he did is more impressive

than Babe Ruth hitting two home runs and throwing a shot. Easily, easily. He's back. Okay, he never left. That's your problem. Well, he did. He fucking fell on his face. No, he went balls to the wall.

And fell on his face. You think a guy who jumps for a loose ball and basketball, you think like, oh man, he fell on his face. No, he's fucking grit determination. Hank's why kids don't play defense anymore because they're afraid of getting put on a poster. You're afraid of, oh wow, he snatched the chain. Look at that.

Hank, sometimes if you want to be great, you have to fail at a great level. If a primetime player in a primetime moment slipped without anyone touching him, just slipped on the floor and lost the game, people would be like, that person is out of their prime. Jamie Swinson in the Rose Bowl? Exactly.

Tom Brady didn't catch that ball in the Super Bowl. Ah. Mm. And what did people say? What happened afterwards? People chirped him and he fucking took the chirps and won two more Super Bowls. I chirped foul ball guy and what did he do the next night?

Caught a home run. You're welcome. Because he's a home run ball guy. Exactly. All right, but either way, my take was, I also, the Javi Baez, hit a grand slam and a guy went for the ball and like slid down the tarp. It was awesome.

It was basically, he just went for it. It was a fucking full send. I want this ball and just eight shit. And then right before we started taping, there was a guy in the red stadium who was holding nachos and went for a home run ball and just spilled the nachos all over himself. I think we are in a golden age that we have to appreciate

right this second with spaced out seating to just see awesome videos of people eating shit. Cause think about it, usually there's fans so you're not going to go for a ball that's four rows in front of you with not as many fans, not capacity. It's just America's home's funniest videos in the stands every night.

I like that, yes. You need to appreciate this. Keep an eye out for more wipeouts in the stands. And there is like a small voice in the back of your head. Any grown adult that goes to a baseball game, if you make an athletic enough play on the ball and catch it, you think maybe, maybe I'll get like a spring training offer.

Maybe they want to see what I've got. Or just a round of applause. Yeah, a round of applause either way. But like when you see that ball, usually you do have those people around you that prevent you from running, but they also prevent you from falling down because they're so close to you.

Now it's just selling out. But flip side to that, you don't get as many people throwing pizza on people's faces like what happened in Boston a few years ago. So we just need to just remember that. Remember that you will, like there will be a day when the fans are back and I'll be excited for it. So a full crowd is the best.

But just cherish what we have right now in that people are eating shit on a nightly basis, trying to get balls with nachos in their hands or jumping down tarps or home run ball, catching a ball, no big deal. It's great. I feel like we also got to shout out the Texas Tech baseball announcer.

Yes, that was sick. He caught, it was like an absolute screaming foul ball, had his hand in one pocket, just caught it with one hand, didn't even flinch. Such a snag. Very impressive. Such a snag. It's a pig snag.

That's a pig snag. What is it? Pig snag. That's a pig snag. It's a pig snag. Riff Raff. Don. Chuck Borden.

Chuck Borden. Chuck Borden. Jackson Jackson. More sports than seven. I had one other note I can just say and we can move on. I think we've forgotten about Saquon Barkley. Ooh. I just haven't heard his name a lot.

You know what, I'm okay with that. Cause there's too many people who called him Barry Sanders before he even played in the NFL. But he was really good as rookie year. He was. Well, he was, what was his, he didn't he, what was his yards per, I know he's behind a really bad offensive line.

So I'm not bashing him. But he also had a couple of nice long touchdown catches too. He has a couple of nice touchdown catches. I agree. Oh no, he's got yards per. 4.7 yards per. Okay, that's a lot better than a three yard. For some reason I thought.

I'm not trying to make a grand point or anything out of this. I'm just saying that I feel like as a nation we've forgotten about Saquon Barkley. If we're doing random things, oh it was this past year cause he only played in two games and he had 19 rushes for 34 yards. That's what I was thinking about. But he was also behind like the worst offensive line ever.

So you're right, I'm a Saquon guy. I just think that the hype was, was insane to start. I also am ready to start respecting Chris Paul Moore. That was the only other thing. I don't know if I can get on board. As a basketball player only. That's a double cross on Blake Griffin though. As a basketball player only.

It's a big double cross. No, it's a big double cross. Not as a teammate. Not as a teammate. You know what? My favorite podcast is now Dax Shepard too. What? Don't the two go hand in hand?

Not always. I don't, I'm not on the respect Chris Paul band well. Well maybe it's a double cross because our friend Blake Griffin had a new shoe out and I just DM'd him on Instagram. I said size 12 and he said maybe Brooks Keppker can get it for you. Oh okay, well we're gonna play that way. Maybe I'm a Chris Paul fan.

So that's what this is about. Maybe. It's about you not getting a pair of shoes. Who knows, we can be vindictive and we should start wearing. Does Chris Paul have a signature shoe? What does it look like? It looks like shit. It's so bad.

I think it's Jordan too though. Let me see, Chris Paul's signature shoe. We should not order in brand. It's probably a bowling shoe. Oh the Zions actually are sick by the way. Yeah, I like those. Can't do a shoe. Oh my God, these are, oh I don't know what.

Oh these are terrible. I'll buy one though. I'm gonna start wearing them. Let's get to our interview. We have two great interviews with Sigg Hansen, Captain Sigg Hansen from Deadliest Catch. One of the coolest guys we've ever interviewed. Just a total fucking badass.

And then we are going to have Hornswagel on who is fighting in rough and rowdy tonight. So go to buyrnr.com if you want to. Watch is gonna be a great, great card. Tons of fights. Also you can play Barstool, Play Barstool app, right Hank? Play Barstool app, you can win some money. You can get something down on the fights.

So go check it out, it's gonna be awesome. I have a question about this. Are you gonna be singing the national anthem? I am, always, yes. So get ready, it's gonna be a great night. Before we get to Captain Sigg Hansen, our friends from Raycon, I don't know about you but I feel like I'm always looking at a screen

now more than ever. And whether you're an avid news watcher or in serious need of a distraction, unplugging yourself is easier said than done. And one of my favorite ways to rest my eyes and still get the content I'm mentioning for by putting in my Raycon wireless earbuds and listening to something great,

whether you're catching up on your favorite news podcast or pardon my take, binging an audio book or powering through your workout with a pumped up playlist, a pair of Raycons in your ears can make all the difference. I personally like to walk, take a walk with my Raycon earbuds in, kinda decompress, maybe listen to a Grateful Dead show, just chill out, that's how I unwind.

Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is Captain Sig Hansen from The Deadliest Catch. New season is premiering Tuesday, April 20th

at 8 p.m. Eastern on the Discovery Channel. Everyone knows the show, everyone has watched the show. It's a fantastic show. So we're really excited to have you on and you just said it right before we started. You're on land right now. How long does it take for you to be like, all right, I'm ready to get back on a boat

or would you, are you at the point in your career where you'd prefer to be on land? It's weird, like when you're on land, you're so happy to be back and honestly, I don't know what was scarier being out on the boat or being on land with this COVID stuff going around but that being said, it doesn't take very long. I would say, I mean, as I get older,

I wanna be on the beach more, right? Just cause I feel like I earned it but it's weird. Like my wife, like I would say two to three weeks before we head up, you know, after, you know, like last winter, we had a, what was it? Three weeks off in December and then we hit it up at the end of December

and like a week or two before, your head's not even at home. Your head's not in the game. Your head is thinking about fishing. It's really strange. Yeah, you just never leave it, you know? Do you prefer captain or skipper? You know what, the whole captain thing,

I mean, usually people in Dutch Harbor would say, well, who's running the boat, right? You didn't really hear guys being called captain all the time. I think the show kind of brought that on more than anything. And so I get, honestly, to this day, when guys see me on the street or something or a resume, well, hey captain, it's flattering but at the same time, I feel like, you know,

it's a title and it's odd. It's still odd for me to hear that. Yeah, that's why I like saying skip. Skip is like a little informal, you might be a baseball manager, who knows, it kind of goes both ways. I've always wondered what skipper actually meant and where that term came from.

Ooh, that's a good question. You know what, I'm gonna find out. That's a dang good question. Great question. Thank you. It is. Thank you. Yeah, it's a great question.

As long as I'm not gilligan, I'll be the skipper. There you go. So for people who don't watch the show, you should watch the show. It is Alaskan crab fishing and it is the deadliest catch. So they're out in freezing cold temperature on these boats for, how long do you guys, what's the longest time you've been out fishing for?

Oh gosh, I think the longest appeal season I've done was we started January, we got finished up in August, I think sometime, or July, August. Something like that, I mean, that season ran long. When I was younger, we'd go out, oh gosh, different seasons, we'd be out eight months, nine months at a whack. Holy shit.

So wait, you would come back for fuel though, or is that? Yeah, you'd come back. Yeah, or you could sneak off home for a trip or whatever, but you had like these nine month increments, but longest out to sea for a little crab boat, like what we're using, I would say, a little over a month, which is a long time on a little boat. Yeah.

Yeah, because you can get fuel at sea and you can deliver at sea, back then you're delivering out there, so different ball game. Honestly, after like, if you're out there for like 12, 14 days, you start getting tired of it, you really do, because you're sick of everybody else on the boat, you wanna go in and offload and regroup.

Yeah, you guys are in tight quarters too, I mean, it's not like you're on a cruise ship and it's, you know, luxury, you guys are in tight quarters, so there's, how many guys are on a boat at a time, like maximum and minimum that you'd go out with? Well, like typically we'll go with a five or six man crew, you know, six to seven with the captain, you know, like the wizard, Keith,

he's got a much larger boat, they'll go 24 hours, you know, 24, seven typically, so they'll probably run, I'm guessing, seven, eight guys, something like that, so you always have a guy in the rack, and then you're just rotating, you know? So it depends on what ballgame you're playing, but back in the day, those boats were built for four man deck,

so four guys would do the job, four to five guys. Yeah, and since the show started, I've been watching ever since it debuted, what was that, like 2004, 2005? It's a long time, yeah. I remember watching that first season and I was completely enthralled, and at the time I had a bunch of friends who were like,

man, I wanna do that, I wanna go move up to Alaska and try to be a fisherman just so, you know, you can make a shitload of money in a small amount of time and then come back and go on vacation for a while. Did you guys see like an uptick in new people that would move up to Alaska, that thought that they could be on these boats because of the show?

Oh, absolutely, and I mean, that's great, you know? Why not? You know, but now that we've got a quota system and the industry's rationalized, we went from 220, 40 boats down to, you know, 60, 70 that are participating, so it's harder. But I encourage it, I love to hear that. And I remember being at the airport, you know,

in Cold Bay, we're trying to get into Dutch Harbor, couple of guys tap me on my shoulder like, hey, you know, you're the guy, yeah, I'm that guy. And then, well, we're going up to Alaska, gonna get us a job. I'm thinking, guys, you're late, you know, these guys hang onto their jobs and you're preparing, you know, weeks or months ahead.

But they went up there and looking for work. There was such an influx that there was actually guys sleeping in tents on the beach, you know, looking for work when that show first started. And it was just this phenomenon. And I think it's great. I love the fact that, you know, we're showing work ethic and a different lifestyle and that people dig it.

I love that. I gotta tell you the story. We're in Seattle in the shipyard, you know, that's where we're from and a lot of the boats were built. So this kid comes down there, he's looking for a job. Look, I don't got room, do this and then see what happens. So get a job at a cannery. So he gets a job at one of the seafood canneries.

And then I said, you'll got, you got room and board, you'll be in Dutch Harbor and then, you know, just keep beating the docks. And then eventually you'll find something, trust me. So the kid does this like a year later, I'm in the same shipyard and he's in there, but now he's on his boat. And the guy's in tears and he's like, you changed my life.

I go, what do you mean? He goes, you remember me? I said, no. He's like, and he pointed and he goes, that's the boat that I'm on now. And I did exactly what you said to do and I got a new home. And this guy, I mean, he could, you know, he couldn't get a job anywhere.

I just felt so good, you know, that one guy had that opportunity and he made it. So, you know, it's great. It's inspiring. That's awesome. That's awesome. You mentioned, you know, work ethic and how tough these guys are.

It's, that's I think the most fascinating part of the show. How tough all you guys are being out there at sea in, you know, freezing cold temperatures. So we are big football fans. We do a herd or injured. So like you can play with, if you're a little hurt, if you're injured, you're injured. You know what I mean?

Like it's an actual injury. So what's the threshold on a boat? Like what are things where you're like, hey, listen, you can still do this. You can still, you know, catch crab or what is the injury where you're like, all right, you got to sit out. You got to, you got to maybe get off the boat for a while.

You know, I've had guys where, you know, I started yelling at him and I'm like, what's wrong with you, man? You're slowing down, you know, this is ridiculous. And then I won't say his name, but he just, he was one of my heroes. And he comes up and, you know, he takes his rain gear down. He pulls his sweats down, right?

And I'm looking at him and I swear to you, it was purple from his hip past his knee was just this giant purple scar. And he'd been working with it for a couple of days because he'd been hit by one of our crab paws, which are 875 pounds each. Hit him against the rail, pinched him. You know, looking at it, you would think,

are you out of your mind? Hit the bunk, we got to take you to the beach. You know, this is bad. He didn't break it, but he damaged it so bad. It was just this giant Bruce. Anyway, we leave it up to them. You know, now, because we, there's no HR, you know, and you're out there and yes,

the captain does have the last word, but at the end of the day, a lot of times it's about your ego and a lot of peer pressure. The crew's gonna, they're relying on each other. You only got so many guys. It's not like you're gonna go down the street and hire some dude.

And so, and if you got to go in, you're losing time and time is money, right? So they'll do it to where, I mean, they're literally putting themselves at harm's risk. And you don't got to be the biggest guy. That's not what it's about. It's about what you got in your heart, in your head. That's what makes it, you know?

I've seen the smallest guys be the most tremendous people and the biggest guys fail. It just depends on what you got here and right here. That's it. So as the captain, are you allowed out of the boat run or whatever way you wanna, you wanna phrase it? Are you allowed to arrest somebody on your boat? Do you have that authority?

Oh yeah. I had a, I know I had a buddy, we were fishing out west for deep water brown crab and, and this kid was going crazy. Couldn't handle it for whatever reason. And he was threatening and he was sleeping with a knife. You know, he'd have a knife under his pillow and the guys were just getting freaked out.

And he made a remark, I won't say what it was, but then my buddy Kurt, he's like, that's it, you're done. And they grabbed him, they duct taped him, threw him back in his bunk, locked the door, took him to town and that was that. It was like, you can, you know, I mean, it was for everybody's safety, but you just don't know if a guy flips,

what are you gonna do? So yeah, there is that law and you are the law. And you just gotta, and these go back for hundreds of years. You know what I mean? That's just the way it is. What's the scariest storm you've been in? Or what's the closest you've been like, all right, this is like, what's your threshold?

Like I've been through some shit. I've seen some shit. I can handle this, but I'm sure there's been a few times you're like, I'm pretty nervous about all of us right now. We had, I mean, I don't know out of which one, cause they're all fricking hairy. That's the problem. You know, it's hard to pick one cause I've seen my life

flash before my eyes so many times. But you know, like one, one time a story I've told before is we were icing up and I was young and hungry and greedy. We weren't chopping the ice. And so it builds on the boat so tremendously, you know, four or five feet thick all around. And she was literally sinking underneath our feet. Wave hit us.

We got kind of broadside. She laid there. It took us, I would say 16 to 18 hours to get the ice enough to where she started to ride herself. Holy shit. Oh yeah. We had the boat. Yeah, it's bad.

We had the boat on the beach one time. That was just hairy. We've had her on the side so far that we shut power to the engine. Oh, but you couldn't get fuel to the engine. Shut down. That Black Sunday, I forget how many boats went down, but it just seemed like there was Mayday's Mayday after Mayday,

you know, and people that you knew that had gone down just literally miles away from you, you know. So there's, and I, you know, looking back, you know, like guys dramatize this and I don't know, maybe they build it up in their mind. Like, oh, it's such a, you know, thing. But when you, at a younger age, it was like, well, I was just part of the deal.

And it's nuts, but at the same time, we try to be as safe as we can. We just, sometimes you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Do you ever? And that's just how it is. Yeah, in times like that, do you ever think to yourself, like maybe I'll just go captain a boat

off the coast of Florida, like go fishing in the Gulf, like run a charter and go take people out to, you know, go deep sea fishing, catch marlins and 80 degree weather instead of being up here in Alaska all the time? No, I mean, we've got a salmon boat out or a pleasure boat in the future sound. I got a ski boat for my kids and all that, you know, on the lake and all that.

But I mean, and we like, I like the pleasure fish, but at the same time, it's an addiction, right? And so, and yeah, how many, like a cat, how many lives do I get? But that being said, I think, you know, if you're good at what you do, and the guys that are up there are the best at what they do, I believe the fleet is just top notch

and bad things happen, but we do take every precaution we can, we really do. And I think, you know, you're not gonna get the same reward doing that when you've done, right? And this is like an addiction thing. This is like your, you know, this is your fix. When you get up there and if you succeed

and especially when you do well, it's like, hey, man, I got my fix. I'm good. Yeah, no risk and no biscuit. That's what we say. What's the best type of crab? What's the, well, all right, give me this. What's the tastiest type of crab?

And then what's the crab that will get you the most money? I mean, you know, for me, I like King Crab. And then there's a Bear Dye or a Tanner Crab. Those are sweeter. And that's kind of a species close to the Apelio or Snow Crab that we call it. So we got a lot more Snow Crab out there. You'll see that in a lot of restaurants.

But for me, I just like King Crab just because it's a lot more meat and it's got that flavor to it, you know? Just giant legs. Yeah, is that the type that brings in the most money? Yeah, I mean, we get dollar per pound. We get a lot more.

It depends on the quota, right? So the guys typically make more money efficient Snow Crab or Apelio because you've got a bigger quota. Yeah. And then, you know, but I mean, if you hit a big on King Crab, you know, it's a 10 bucks a pound or whatever you're getting.

Oh, a hundred thousand pound load is a million dollars. That adds up fast, right? That's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. I was a, I worked as a bus boy in a crab shack in the Outer Banks for a while. I lived there, I was a pogue.

And we used to serve the King Crab legs. And every day I would come home and it would probably take me about, I don't know, it would be at least two showers to get the smell of crab off my body. For you, after you get off a boat after being out there for a couple of months, how long does it take you to no longer smell like crab?

Dude, I'm a captain, right? So I'm not smelling anything. I smell like coffee and cigarettes. That's my problem. As far as the boat itself, it gets pretty raunchy because they're built for packing pots, not comfort. So we have very, very tight living quarters. And that's pretty future when you get in there, pretty bad.

We try to stay clean, you know, all that. There is showers and all that, pretty nasty. It gets pretty bad. And for you with all that long hair, take your forever to wash it out. Come on. Yeah, no, I was short. I looked like, I looked like Forrest Gump back in there,

a little crew cut, but still, it would get under your fingernails. You know, like your hands would smell like crab all the time. And I love crab. I love eating crab. But at some point, you know, halfway through the summer gig, I was like, you know what? I might want to look for a different place

just because it did take me, you know, a couple of showers to finally get that stink off me. And when you make that part of your job, you start to resent going to work occasionally. You know, that's the type of clone I don't necessarily want to be wearing. Yeah, I think we just get used to it, man. It is pretty, they don't have smell-o-vision.

I think that they have smell-o-vision who wouldn't have any viewers like that. What's the weirdest thing you've got in your pots before when you pull it up? Either animal or like trash? No, I mean, like we drug up a workout bike, believe it or not. I don't know if somebody must have tossed it.

Then Hillstrand, Jonathan Hillstrand on the time, man. You know, they've been on this show forever in the day too. And I love these guys. They're like family, right? And they pull our pots and they put this, it was like an alligator or crocodile skull in there. Holy shit. And then my guys are like,

we got to go to Smithsonian. Oh my God, we found a saltwater crocodile or something like that, right? And because I do believe they live in freshwater. And so they're just freaking out. They thought that they hit this historic jackpot. Come to find out it was Hillstrand pranking us. So I thought that was pretty clever.

Oh, that is good. And would you guys, do you ever get like, what are like, do you get, you obviously get fish in there. Have you ever gotten anything else? Like that you're like, oh, that sucks. No, I mean, you know, we're, the gear is meant specifically to catch what we're after.

So we've got escape mechanisms and, and you know, so you're not getting a lot of bike catch, we call it. You'll see a little bit of different species here and there, but for the most part, it's a real clean fishery, right? That's what we're after. And so that's, that's why we have a sustainable industry, you know, the more bike catch you catch,

the worse you're doing for the environment. So, you know, it's all about that too nowadays. And that's good. Yeah. Like, I mean, I've got like a wolf feel, you know, it's like this most, it's a terrible looking fish and it's got the little fangs that call a wolf feel, just scary looking stuff.

I've gone super deep, you know, for brown crab and there you'll catch a lot of weird stuff, you know, just different kind of species of crab that I didn't even know existed, right? Just weird looking spidery things, but I couldn't even name it. Yeah. When you go deep, you get into some weird stuff.

Have you ever seen a Norwhal? What? A Norwhal. No, Norwhal, no. I mean, I've seen, are you talking about whales and stuff like that? Yeah, the Norwhal is that it's the whale that has the unicorn horn.

I'm convinced that it's not a real whale just because those things, they're so freaky looking. No, but it's weird. It's like, sometimes you're up there and it's, you know, you don't see the beauty, I guess is what I'm saying, cause it's your job. But then at times you'll see, I've seen like pods of like killer whales and whales that are just for miles.

You know, you'll just see, you know, the water come out of the blowhole and just, it looks like a storm out there, but it's whales. It's really cool, you know, at times. And because you get, you get desensitized to it because you're on your job. But then when you, sometimes, you know, you'll get like beautiful sunsets

and things of that nature that, that you will never see again. And you're thinking, man, this is really something cause you're, you're in the middle of nowhere, you know? Yeah. Pretty, pretty neat. Earlier you were talking about, about your boat and you kept referring to it as she and her. And it's, it's very cool to hear that.

Cause I think a lot of people forget that all boats are females. Is there a history behind like why it's always a she or a her? Cause my theory is that it's just a bunch of dudes out at sea. They haven't seen a woman in a while. So they get, they just get so horny that they're going to say that the boat's a girl.

There's, there, I know there's an answer to that question. Like back in the day, they always had like a car on the bow, you know? Like you always had the, the lady, the like mermaid or something up on the bow. They always had a gal up there on the, on the tip of the, of the boat. Maybe that's where the sheet came from.

Cause I know, I know I've been asked that before and I was going to research that, but I think that's where it comes from, you know? And for some reason they did that. They'd always have a lady figure up on, up on the nose. Yeah. And if I was saying she, I don't know. That's just, who knows.

Maybe, maybe that'll be inappropriate someday. Maybe I'm supposed to be gender specific to my boat and say it. Whatever the boat chooses to be. Until they stop me, I'll never do it. I got to plug you guys in. That's cool. Yeah, no worries.

Um, so I, I was wondering, uh, the, when you, when you guys are doing the season, how much do the, do the cameras get in the way? The cameras are in the beginning, they were in the way because we had to learn how to co, co exist with each other. Right. But, but, uh, you know, now it's to the point where everybody everybody understands their job.

And, and my rule number one, when we first started doing, it was, you know, fishing first, camera second. And I think that recipe is probably one of the reasons why we've, we've been on so long because, you know, we only get one shot to fish and do this thing. And if you're worried about the guy asking you questions and, and, uh, trying to get in your head, you ain't going to get nothing done and you're going to fail.

So, you know, our priority is fishing. How many, how many camera men are on the boat at a given time? Oh, we got, we got two guys. We have a producer in a wheelhouse, he's on me 24 seven. And then, uh, and then you got a guy on deck and they work together. And so there's two guys with our crew. And so it gets pretty tight, you know?

And if you get a guy that you're not getting along with, I mean, it's a disaster, but they're just trying to do their job, you know? Right. Has there ever been like a instance where things are going sideways, you need an extra set of hands and you've asked, like the camera guy or the producer, Hey man, I know you got a job to do,

but this is bigger than the TV show. Can you lend a hand trying to, you know, pull this crab pod off a guy? Hypothetically, yep. If I was to do that, uh, because of liability and legal issues, that would be inappropriate, right? But hypothetically, uh, there may or may not have been a cameraman that probably would have participated

because of certain circumstances. And, uh, hypothetically, if they did that, my hat's off to them because I think they're friggin' awesome. Yeah, gotcha. How about that? Yeah, wink, wink. We should, we should, they should do a behind, they should do like a deadliest camera,

like cameraman show of just the behind the scenes of the cameraman on the deadliest catch. Those guys are, I'll tell you what, man, it took a while for us to get him to sink and learn each other. But, uh, the guys that they have, uh, really are amazing, right? Because they do put themselves in harm's way as well.

Right. And they're getting beat up all the time. And so, uh, you know, my hat's off to them, obviously. And, uh, it's getting smoother, you know, it took a while, but it gets smoother and smoother because they understand what they're getting into. And, uh, and that makes it easier for everybody. But yeah, they're, they're go-getters.

Cause, well, even this last season, I, I'm assuming they'll show it, but, you know, he was filming, shooting at the rail. Next thing you know, he's flying on the stern, uh, head first and the camera's, you know, middle of the air because you got hit by a wave. It happens all the time. And, and it's, there's nothing we can do about it, you know?

So they have to be on guard just as much as the crew is on guard and they have to work together. And the first thing I tell the camera guy when he gets on the boat is look, I know you got your job, but right now you're a part of this team. You either start to think like a crew member or get the hell off. That's your choice.

And, and they learn really quickly that they're a part of our crew. If you smell something funny, see something funny, feel something funny, you know, say it. Don't expect us to save your ass. You're a part of this deal. You know, if, if you smell oil or anything, say something, be a part of the boat because it could save your life someday.

You know, we have fires, we have floods. There's all kinds of things that can happen and you're a part of it. And once they understand that, then it becomes a team effort. And that's what, that's, that's the winning recipe right there. Yeah. I mean, the fate of the boat is going to include them, whatever happens to, to the team, they're like it or not,

you know, you're miles off the coast. So you do have some skin in the game. And if you get like a greenhorn, a new guy out there who's maybe, maybe hasn't tried this before, thinks that they're cut out for it. How quickly into the journey do you typically find out whether or not this guy has what it takes to be on a boat and have this job?

Oh, like a greenhorn crew member, the guys will fill him out pretty quick. You know, you can tell, you can tell right away at the dock if he's going to make it or not. You know, it's about their spirit and their heart and their attitude. You know, if they got the right stuff, they're going to make it. And well, quite frankly, we had a new guy here

this last season, never been craft-tician. And, but he was hungry, right? And, and he was, he was amazing because he had that attitude. You get a greenhorn cameraman, watch out. You know, they all want to be the next Spielberg. And as I did, you know, Let's just survive.

How about that? Let's work on making it back to shore. All right, so I have one last question. So you've had two heart attacks. You've been through many, many seasons fishing. Is there retiring as a fisherman? Like I feel like you alluded to it, you know, the addiction to fishing and being out there.

What, what, what does that look like in terms of, hey, in 10 years I'm going to wrap it up or five years. I would assume after the second heart attack is usually when people are like, you know what, I'm not going to do this anymore. You powered through that. So what, what does the rest of your fishing career look like? Well, I mean, for me, I'm just glad that I'm here.

And, you know, I've got my daughter on board. So, you know, captain in training. So, you know, eventually hopefully, you know, she'll take the reins and then that'll be that. And that's always been her dream. Great. That being said, for me, I feel like it's my responsibility always has been.

And so even if I was going to sit it out, I think I'd like Jonathan, you know, on the time that he, he could sit it out. I mean, we say we're going to do it. And then I don't know, maybe until they drag your ass off the field, you're not going to sit it out. It's just one of the things.

Um, you know, yeah, I don't think I'm ready for that. I mean. I didn't mean to like make you have to face it, but it is just interesting because I think, you know, watching the show, it's such a great show and you guys are so tough and you're doing something that's so tough. But at the end of the day,

I think you all genuinely love it to a level that a lot of people don't love their jobs. Oh, absolutely. Without question. And even like, you know, I've been home, I missed a trip here and there, and then you're always thinking about the boat and the people on it or the weather or what's going on.

So it's in your head, no matter what, um, you know, but then, but then again, I mean, I'm still pretty young guy, but I feel like, you know, you're thinking more about your mortality all the time. And, and you're thinking, Jesus man, like I've had so many close calls, why risk this stuff? But I don't know. It's like, I don't want to admit I'm getting older either.

I know I am. Right. And it really freaking sucks. It does. It really does. It does. What, wait, on that note, heart attack, does that just feel like really bad heartburn?

For me, it was, yeah, like massive heartburn in the middle of my chest, went down my arm and kind of in my back. And I wasn't admitting it then when we got in. That's an absurd statement to say. Like I was having a heart attack and I just refused to admit it. Well, I didn't.

And then the guys were like, you need to get to the clinic. And actually when we got to the beach, one of the assistants, you know, for the, for discovery of the production company was there. And like getting the car, we're going, you know what I mean? So everybody was on board, but me. And it's weird, you start to hear these things

and it's very common, I guess, with a lot of people. So, and it sucks because it lives in your head. And every day you're like, you know, thank you God, I'm alive. And, you know, you're living like day to day. And it's just, it really sucks. Yeah, but it's a mental mind. Yeah, it sounds like the best thing for you

is to continue to do what you love. And that is insanely tough that you're just like, you're out there trying to walk off a heart attack. We're just, we're just have a couple of drinks and then sleep better at night. I don't know. Right, I just need a nightcap. Maybe a nice red wine will take the edge off.

I have one last question, then we'll let you go. This might be a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyways. Have you guys gotten into the whole sea shanty game? Because sea shanties are really, really popular amongst youngsters these days. And if you wanted to appeal to, you know, the high school and college crowd, just take yourselves doing a sea shanty one time.

And I'm sure that you'll get another new influx of young greenhorns come up there to Alaska. All right, so now I got a YouTube, is sea shanty game, is that what I gotta do? Yeah, just get everybody on board to sing a song about crabs. And I think that that would do, that go viral instantly. All right, okay, that's a good idea.

I'll put my Scottish Kylthon or something like that and start shantying around, is that it? Yeah, the kids love it these days. Well, I mean, like, we're always in Norway. We try to go once a year and there's always songs like that going around in the pubs, you know, and for some reason, but they don't see a lot of it here. If you guys are seeing it here now, that's cool.

I'd love to hear that, if that's true. All right, well, captain, thank you so much. Everyone check out, Deadliest Catch It premieres. The new season is out April 20th at 8 p.m. Eastern.

We just did a commercial with Revitalight and I didn't think it through when I was filming it and when it came out, there was a small part of the commercial, it's very funny. It's got like Nick, it's got KB and Donnie in it. There's a small part where I'm sleeping

with Revitalight bottle and I was like, this is just bad, just bad optic timing for the horny accusations that I have sex with a drink. But I actually would have sex with Revitalight because it is the perfect solution to any weekend recovery that you might need. Don't pay for your Saturday nights on Sunday mornings. Revitalight black label pairs perfectly with night caps

You guys should try it this weekend as well. Check them out, Revitalight, tag them at drinkrevitalight. And now, here's Hornswoggle. And now for something completely different. Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. He is fighting tonight. We're gonna run this on Friday. You're not fighting tonight, Hornswoggle, sorry.

Your eyes were like, holy shit, I'm fighting tonight. But he is fighting tonight, rough and rowdy. In Morgantown, West Virginia, you can buyrnr.com. He is going up against Jeremy Dynamite Smith. You are gonna kick his ass. You know him from WWE superstar fame, Hornswoggle. So how are we feeling going into the fight? You're gonna kick his ass, right?

I'm gonna show up. I'm going to box. I'm going to fight. I'm going to make people know who the fuck Jeremy Smith is for once. Yup. And I'm going to make some money. Okay, so reading between the lines,

you're not gonna pull a bit and ask it, are you? No, I'm not going to hose a consacrate. I'm not going to show up, take a fall, go home, put more steroids in my arm and go to sleep at night. Okay, but I mean, just from hearing you talk about the fight for the first time, are you confident in yourself? I've never fought in my life.

Jeremy Smith has fought once in his life. People are calling him a fighter. As I said in a previous interview, does that mean if I go to the park, hit a couple tennis balls, I could be fucking Andre Agassi? No chance. So I'm not a fighter, but neither is he.

Sure, he won a title on his first fight. Yup. Again, if I compete in a slam dunk contest and somehow beat Shaq, does that mean I'm a slam dunk champion? No, it shouldn't in reality. But you would be kind of, so you, this all happened because you tweeted

during rough and rowdy, like I want next, right? I do, I do want next. That doesn't mean I know I'm going to win. Listen, I am a professional wrestler. I'm an entertainer. This is going to be my first foray into this world. Who knows what's gonna happen? Have you ever been in like an actual fight,

like a bar fight? I've caused a lot of them. Okay, I like that. For being fucking out. I can drop out bombs here, right? Yes, absolutely. I didn't know what shows I can and can't. I never know.

And I don't like to a lot because I'm a PG wrestler, but with your guys' audience, I feel I can be a little more PG-13 and a little more myself. But the thing is, yeah, I've caused a good amount. I mean, I've definitely been over-served and been very tired, as I say, and caused a few.

Have I had people have my back? Yeah, sure. Any WWE superstars have your back in any of these? I mean, yeah. One name and name? Give us a name. Who's the guy? You know, I cannot name.

There was a night where Luke Gallows was definitely having my back. One night for former star Luke Gallows. Now Doc Gallows, he definitely had my back one night. So part of, you know, you've been wrestling in WWE for a very long time. People know you. Do you, one of the storylines that you had for a while

was that you were Vince McMahon's bastard son. Do you think maybe you're like, there's a 1% chance you're in his will? Zero. No, come on. That's, now you're saying wrestling isn't real. I mean, no, no, because it was revealed, but I'm actually Finley's son.

If you would have kept watching the product and you didn't read my Wikipedia, like you probably did. So the issue is it was revealed that I was actually Finley's son. So I'm not Vince's son at all, which means I would not be in his will. But do you think there was a time

that maybe you were in his will? Like you should have actually negotiated that. Like, hey, I'm going to go with the storyline Vince, but I want a little taste. Listen, he was paying me well, well at the time, so I didn't care about the will at the time. I'll be honest. Yes.

I also love the fact that you were in DX because Degeneration X, I loved X-Pac. He was maybe my favorite wrestler. So I always, I always said I was the X-Pac. Like we would go and do live event house shows overseas or in the country, just non-televised. And I would be in the middle of them too, doing the pyro with them.

And I was like, I'm fucking X-Pac. It's the greatest moment of my life. Would X-Pac have your back in a bar fight? Hypothetically. I feel like X-Pac would definitely have anyone's back in a bar fight. Want some action, yeah. Yes.

You just want the fight, yeah. What's the longest you've spent at a time hiding underneath a ring during a wrestling match to then be revealed and have everyone go crazy? Seven hours. And I mean, did you have your phone or not? No, I did not shit or piss. That's always the follow-up question.

The number one follow-up question. Where'd you shit? Where'd you piss? Yeah, you can hold it for seven or eight hours. Did you have your phone at least? Yeah, I would have that. I would bring my like a PSP under there. And I would sleep.

I would literally just sleep under there. It was fine. You'd just be hanging underneath a wrestling ring. I don't know if you know this or not, but I'm not a tall human. It wasn't that uncomfortable for me. Yeah, but it's just a hilarious thing that like you'd be watching a wrestling match

and Orson was just playing fucking PSP underneath it. Yeah, so I fell asleep. We were on tour overseas in Europe and I fell asleep under the ring from the night before being again, a little tired and from the night before. Whole show, Finley's match was last, last, last of the night.

I fell asleep the whole show. So much so that when my time, Finley rolled out of the ring, lifted the apron for me to come out and I wasn't there. And I'm just face down, like just sleeping away. He thought one of the beams hit me and I knocked me out. No, I was just passed out tonight. You're just tired.

He literally had, fuck! Hey, I go, what's up, man? He goes, were you asleep? I said, oh no, he had to toss me into the ring for a face off with the undertaker of all people. And so I was in the ring now and I realized what I did. Oh my gosh. I walk, I literally like just whispering to myself

an undertaker, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I was just, yeah. He goes, where were you? I said, I was sleeping. He goes, where were you? I said, I was sleeping. Were there certain parts of being underneath the ring

where like you knew you had to avoid this corner at this time, because somebody was about to get slammed and the ring would actually like hate you? So that's the first thing is like, you know, a few days into these two week long tours, I would be able to hear and like picture what's happening above me from the crowd reactions and just what they're doing.

It was a really, really neat thing like I picked up on for certain matches and certain guys, but yeah, I mean, I kind of knew when the finishes were coming in that just by the audio. So what should we be on the lookout for on Friday? What is your, what's your deadliest punch? Ooh.

I mean, any of them? Oh, okay. I mean, I don't know. Guys, I've been training for seven weeks. Since we really locked this fight in, I've never fought in my life. Like I said, I hired a boxing coach doing twice a week, two weeks and just going at it.

I'm taking this more seriously than I've taken anything in my life, anything in my life. And it's been the hardest training on top of that. I just ran a wrestling event on Saturday that had 1100 people. I put that and promoted that and wrestled on that. It's been crazy. This has been the craziest two months of my life.

That's awesome. What's your mentality going into the fight? Are you in war mode? I mean, I'm in the mode of getting more eyes on my brand, the Dylan Postal brand, which is really just me, if we're being honest. But I've been told and asked, why are you doing this or this

and you can't do this and this all my life? I was, when I was four years old, I was paralyzed from a major back surgery. And the first thing I said was, I want to be a professional wrestler. The doctor, the first thing on the surgery when he fixed my back was no contact sports and no trampolines.

Obviously, I didn't listen to him. So whenever someone tells me kind of no, or you can't do that, or that's just not going to work, fuck you kind of thing. And I literally, I watched the last Ruffin Routy for the first time in my life. I've never watched a Ruffin Routy show. I was instantly hooked, instantly entertained.

If I weren't on this one, I'd be purchasing this one. I'm going to be purchasing everyone in the future because they are at an event and a show like literally like no other. I watched the other one. My buddy of mine invited me over to watch the last one. And I brought my son over with me to his house. And the first fight happened, I was hooked.

Yes. Then the ring, the first ring girl came out and I looked at my 11 year old son. I go, you're becoming a man tonight, Landon. And it's just, it was just fun. You know what, and I describe, I describe Ruffin Routy as just fun overall. Yeah.

I describe the whole event and go ahead. It's so true. No, I was just, I mean, I love Ruffin Routy. You know, I call the fights, it's fun and it's fun to watch people compete. And I always have so much respect for anyone who gets in the ring because it's not easy and it's fucking like

you could get knocked out, but you're right. It's just wall to wall, fun laughs, some cool knockouts. I need you to get a knockout on Friday night. I need you to knock your Jeremy Smith out. And cause I just- Why you don't like Jeremy Smith? No, I like you. I like you.

And I also think that it would be an electric moment if you got a knockout in your first fight ever. See, that's the thing, it would be electric and the internet would be going wild. Everyone watching at home would be wild. I'm used to fighting in front of people unlike Jeremy Smith. I'm used to fighting in front of sold out arenas.

Like I said, my first interview, Madison Square Garden, Staple Center, all of this jam packed with tens of thousands of people. I wasn't a year into WWE and I was at WrestleMania in front of 84,000. Hell yeah. Jeremy Smith hasn't fought in front of one. Yeah, you have the moment advantage over him

because the moment might be too big for him. The moment won't be too big for you. Or does he? Because he's used to fighting in front of no one. I'm used to feeding off a live crowd. There is no live crowd. So who does have that advantage? There'll be some people.

There'll be some people there. I think it's extended family. So we'll have at least, you know, there'll be some buzz. You can feel the guys. Jeremy Smith is bringing his family. Yes, exactly. Exactly, exactly. Wish I would have known that.

Yeah. Well, now you get to knock him out in front of his entire family. I mean, either way, like I say, either way, you're gonna put some more zeros behind his name once I fight him, making him famous. That's true. And known as someone.

That's true. It's just, I'm looking forward to this, man. This is, it's crunch time. I literally just got done training today this morning. And I packed my bags and I'm always a late packer. And I always forget something. And it's just, it's just how I live my life. And I've lived my life with traveling

for the last 15, 20 years. But I was like, I zip my bag. Just before I came on this interview, I zip my bag up and I put it in my car and I go, well, I can't turn back now. No matter what, there's no turning back. My dad's picking me up, taking me to the airport in the morning.

We're going. This is go time. This is, it's fucking go time. And it's here. And I'm so glad it's finally here. I think one advantage that you do have over him is that you've taken more hits than he has. So you've got experience in being on the receiving end

of some serious blows. What's the hardest you've ever been hit in the WWE? It was probably WrestleMania 23 off the top of that 20 foot ladder. Taking a slam off the top of that 20 foot ladder. It doesn't get bigger than that. But I've taken some brutal blows. But it's nothing like this.

It's nothing like boxing and punch after punch. I've never been punched in the face in my life. I've, it's never happened. This will be the first time if he's able to hit me. I had one last question. So I will be on the call on Friday night. What, you have a bunch of awesome nicknames

that you've had in the past. Do you, is there one specifically that you want me to use? Well, I swagger would be great because WWE owns the horn, of course. Okay. So we can call it, say Dylan Postel or just swagger. Minigater.

Again, stop listening to my Wikipedia page. Short stack. This is a professional fucking interview. You guys are supposed to be professional journalists. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, you're confusing us with $10. You're definitely confusing us. Yeah, no way.

Uh-uh. I've listened to you, mustache. You're enough piece of shit. Well, you're a Packer fan. You're a Packer fan. I didn't want to go there, but I don't. Scott Country, if you're not a Packer fan, I'm going to need you to do that.

You're a Packer fan. So you're not a Packer fan, you're saying? No, I'm a Bears fan. So I, you've tortured. Oh, you're such a piece of shit, man. No, you're a piece of shit. You're, you know what? I'm going to call you, you better call me out next.

If you win, if you win, I'll fight you. No, I won't actually. No, I will if I stand on my phone. You don't mean that. I mean, Jesus Christ, you're a Bears fan. You're admitting that on, on, on a national broadcast. You're admitting that. Yeah, I know.

Listen, I, I'm, I just realized that I didn't want to go there, but I think now I'm not going to root for you. That's, that's great. Because just like everyone else who's telling me this isn't going to happen. Join the bandwagon. Shit, now I want to root for you. Don't do that. No, no, no, I'm sure next week, I'm sure next week you'll be a Tampa Bay

Buccaneers fan like everyone else too. It's fine. It's fine. No, I'll be a Jeremy Smith fan after he knocks you out. That's fine. That's fine. I, I'm not a fighter just like him. Anything can happen in this fight, but just know, no matter what,

we're going to make history with this event with more eyes on it than any other Ruffin Robbie. I love that. I fucking love that this Friday today because we're airing it today, but we're recording two days ago. It's happening today. Yes. Yeah, tonight.

I'm back. I'm back on your side. I'm back on the swaddle deal. You're on my fucking side. I don't want you. No, you can't. You would now I really want to be on your side. You can't tell me what to do.

I fucking hate you. You can't tell me what to do. I'm a Dylan Bostell swagger fan on Friday night. Ah, son of a bitch. Yeah, but you can buy R and R dot com. Yes, you haven't yet. Do it now. Go on your on your cell phone or on your computer

or I don't know if it's on Roku, but go on your Roku or say, Alexa, order Ruffin Rowdy now. Yes, pay. Click done. Order it now. Love it. Love it. Swaggle Dylan Postell.

You gotta pick Dynamite. Yeah. Especially after the Ben Ashgren thing, like the fight happened and you heard him afterwards, kind of say basically the same things that Hornswaggle was saying. It's hard to pick them in your picks. I'd agree, I'd agree.

Right, but on the other hand, he's Hornswaggle. Right. And I used to watch him on TV. True. So there's that. And maybe he was underselling it because he's like fought Undertaker. True.

But he was asleep beforehand. That's true. Yeah, all right, well, it'd be great. BuyRNR.com. Hank, Firefest of the Week, you wanna get going? Yes. I'm 27 years old and I've got my whole appreciation. Welcome, welcome.

Ishtelwal. What's your birthday again? June 13th. Club 27. You're about to be 28. You still have two months when you can die and be remembered as a legend. Exactly.

When you turn 30, I'm gonna be so depressed. Yeah. I knew you when you were 19? Yeah, I mean, I saw like, I definitely, I'm starting to get into the age where, like I saw like a Isaiah Thomas Celtics memory and it was like six years ago and I was like, holy fuck. Yes.

That's, you know, college, high school, then then two years, that's crazy. Well, yeah, if you went to college. Right, well, yeah, right. It was college and then five years. But yeah, I went 27 years and no one ever told me how to pronounce what you put a thing of ice cream in or a leader of beer.

I thought you were, I thought you were fucking with us. Yes, you were dead. That's why I didn't reply to anybody cause we had probably like dozens of people that were like. So many people. Like don't British people say it pronounced. Like let's go get a pin at the pub. You always called it pint?

Yeah, like I don't know. Like a pinto? What the fuck? I honestly, PFD and I, like it's funny cause we didn't talk about this but that's exactly the same way like we got tagged in so many tweets and I was like, dude, you didn't know Hank was joking?

Like I didn't say that, but in my head I was like, of course he was fucked. He was fucking with you guys because he pronounced this shit terribly. He didn't go to college. Like he doesn't want to read. And that's what I'm saying. I thought that it was you trying to do a bad British accent.

Yeah. And like saying it that way on purpose. No, British people do say pin, right? No, they don't. They say a pint. You asked to delete this part and say it was a joke. Have you ever seen snatch? Yeah, I don't know.

Pint of the duck stuff. You'd never said the word pint? No, I didn't. You can't buy weed in the quantity of pint so you'd have no reason to use that unit of measurement. And like why? You know how to pronounce ounce? I'm not a huge ice cream guy.

Say eighth. Eighth. Eighth. But no, I did the, because obviously when I get tripped that much, I get to fence him like, no, you're wrong. And I went on the text to speech. Don't put baby in a corner.

Yeah, I went on the text to speech and I was like, point. Oh no. The other one though, the other one, I have a doxin. I thought that was, I would have, you know, up until I had one myself, like that dashhound, I would have, you know, a hundred times out of a hundred. That's more forgivable than pint. Yeah.

Pint, if you've never like pronounced ice cream, I'll have a pint of ice cream. That's the part, I would have said pint. Yeah, see, that's the part that I don't understand. You've never, like that just to me says you don't eat enough ice cream. I'm not a huge ice cream guy. I was as a kid, but not, like my family would have

the big ones, I just, you know, get myself a cup of it. Because in my house. You never go and buy the pints. In my house, it's like, oh, like I'm going to the store, you need anything, like yeah, pints of ice cream. Right, and we don't say like, let's go get a, we don't say let's go get a pint, we say let's go get a beer.

Yeah. And I feel like in TV shows, which are the only times you watch a TV show where they talk about getting a pint, it's British, but I feel like they said pint. No, no one ever said, picky blinders? Yeah. You probably watch picky blinders on mute with the closed captioning.

Yeah, I don't know. So that's my firefests. All right, people. Yes. I can relate after the mortgage incident a few weeks ago. Right. Yeah, mortgage. It's not fun.

Yeah, but you went to college. But he's also supposed to be in some things. I've also never paid a mortgage. He's also supposed to be someone that can speak. Yeah, that's true. What are Hank's greatest hits? There's Thighland, there's Objen, Pint, Post Mostly. Post Mostly was good.

Super Relatives. Super Relatives is my personal opinion. My personal opinion, the worst one was Island Gorilla. What? What? Lowland Gorilla. Oh, yeah. Highland.

Yeah, that one. You thought it was a gorilla from Des Moines? This is Iowa land, local gorilla. How sick would Iowa be if there were just wild gorillas running through the country? So sick, so sick. Hanging off the windmills? But yeah, that's my firefests.

Great firefests, Hank. And I miss Billy. Very good firefests. My firefests was going to be, I had to fire Billy. No, just kidding. PFT. My firefest is that I am once again being made a fool of by the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Oh, yeah. They can't stop winning. I was actually. I'm not abandoning Shipyard. That's one of those ones that I didn't want to bring up to you, because I was like, the pirates have been winning, and you've been losing. Yes.

I'm happy that you brought it up, so I didn't have to. Because it got awkward. I've been losing money hand over fist, responsibly, on the Pittsburgh Pirates, which is such a sad thing to say that the Pittsburgh Pirates. I'm talking about the Major League Baseball franchise. The Pittsburgh Pirates are making me look like a fool. Repeatedly.

They can't stop winning. You could say that I've maybe saved the Pittsburgh Pirates by betting against them. One could say that. But I do know that when I stop betting on them, they're going to start losing again. And I can't let that happen. Because then they beat me twice.

So I think if you see me on a 30 for 30 broke, it's going to be because the Pittsburgh Pirates. Nobody on the roster that I can name off the top of my head have taken all my money from me. Yeah. You got to just, I think you got to walk the plank. I got to do something to turn around. Do I get a parrot?

They got to suck. Yeah, I know the Pittsburgh Pirates are pretty good. They are. They're not, they're relatively. They're not good, but they're better than bad. I think they're good. I think they're better than bad. I think they're good.

No, that's better than bad is right before good. But, OK, so they don't stink yet. Yeah, they're better than bad. Like they're not bad, but they're not good. They're just in between that. Which is very frustrating. That's good, though, for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yeah, there's always a bad team that has a good April.

True, but they aren't even having a good April. They're just, that's my point. That's why they're, that's why it might just be that they're not. They're just good enough to not be bad. Yeah, their overrunner was 59 and a half. I think they're right around 500. Like they might be 9 and 10. OK, so yeah, they could be like a 72-win team, which would lose

you a lot of money, but that's also a bad team. They have the second worst run differential in the NL right now. There you go. OK, so there you go. So I just got to wait. They've got their babbits too good. Second worst behind your gnats. Yeah, well, the babbit of your gnats.

Babbit of luck has to turn around a little bit. All right, my fire fest is I got two. One is I got a college football debate today and I just miss college football so much because it's the best sport to debate because there's just so many fans from everywhere. I truly love I know that every time you like try to debate anything online, people will just say, oh, you're triggered.

I truly love debating college football online. So I miss it. Can't wait for it to be back. And then my other fire fest is I. So everyone thanked us and we should be thanked for killing the Super League and saving soccer. You're welcome. Um, the Super League kind of would have been sweet.

I think the Super League would be a great addition. It kind of would have. I was thinking about it yesterday and I was like, imagine if there was just a Wednesday, like every Wednesday afternoon, just the best teams in the world playing each other. I was like, fuck, man, it's kind of would have been. I don't want it because soccer's for the people

and we're the people were for the people. But if you like, I think I actually think that if you asked everyone's solo, like, listen, I want your opinion, it will never get out. We know the bad parts of Super League, but would you watch because it's going to be sweet? They'd be like, yeah, I'd watch. Well, of course they'd watch.

I've got news for you, though. It's going to happen. The Super League is going to happen. This was a trial balloon that they sent out there. I don't know the people, man. The people were shot down. I think they're just going to change. Like we talked about actually on Sunday, they're going to.

This was a bargaining chip, a poorly played one, but a bargaining chip to to basically change Champions League a little bit so that the teams, the top, the top spending teams always get in. Why doesn't the MLS just rebrand as the Super League? We should. I think that's really what you're kind of missing out on. Yeah, you miss the idea of a Super League out there,

roaming free. I just like it hit me. I was like, fuck, that kind of would have been sick. I'm glad that we did what we did. We we we save soccer. I don't have any regrets for saving the most popular sport technically in the world. I everyone keep thanking us, you know,

but it would have been sweet. It would have it would have been so the matchups would be nice. It would have been fucking sweet. But then it also would have destroyed the U.S. is chance at winning World Cup. Hmm, I don't even we've got to make the World Cup. That's true. One step at a time. Well, that's that's that's not even our national team.

The women's national team is our national team. Correct. The men's team is correct. We will not acknowledge them until they qualify correct for World Cup. Bubba, do you have a firefest? I kind of put you on the spot. You get hit by any cars this week? No, I didn't. OK, good.

That's good. Yeah, that was a plus. Fuck, because I thought I did have one. Jake, go first. Jake, go first. I had my phone in my hoodie pocket the other day and I was walking and I unknowingly kept pressing the password and I got disabled for 15. You locked yourself. You locked myself. I've always wondered what happens if you accidentally press

the emergency call button and you don't know it. Yeah, we'll like six police officers just run at you and ask you if you're all right. Swarm you. I don't know, Jake. Did you feel like a cyber criminal? Do you feel like you might have wanted to turn yourself in? No, but when the timer ran out, I was very careful of typing in my password.

You're like the guy with the big one. If I did it wrong by act like on purpose. Yeah, what's the password? It's Jake. It doesn't really matter. Why would you ever say that? Because someone has, someone, you would have to have my phone. Right, and we will do that.

Steal your phone. Wait, you've got to change it now because you actually have access to my Twitter account. True, but someone would still have to get their hands on my phone. I don't trust it. Jake's compromising integrity in this entire podcast. Bleep that out. Bleep that out. Bleep it out.

I don't, people are going to steal his phone. No, I don't trust, you're now a target. You're a weak target. Like people will go for you. I like how Jake is just completely oblivious to the fact that it would be bad for other people to have your password. You're a weak target now. All right, so bleep it out for this.

No, change it. You got to change it. You got to change it. I'll bleep out the numbers. I thought it was just like sixth grade. Well, because you also. No, he also said it out loud. You also. No, bleep out the numbers.

You also showed on the screen, and you did like the manual typing in of the password. So now they know the order that you use. Well, is it reversed because of the screen? We need to steal his phone and see if he's been texting with other other podcasts. Ooh, interesting. I have nothing to hide.

You have to look at my phone. I know you don't. Probably it probably would be like it actually would suck to look at your phone because it made me feel like a worse person where it's like someone says like, hey, how are those guys? Like, oh, yeah, they're the best guys ever. I love them so much. It's like way too nice about us to strangers.

The fact that you're so open about letting me use your cell phone makes me not want your cell phone. Yeah, way to go. All right, I'm off the hook again. Another day is the world's top terrorist survived. Incredible Jake. I don't know how you do it. Do you think there's a small chance that Jake is a fed?

Yeah, he's a sleeper cell. I've always thought he's a sleeper cell. He's something. Yeah, he's a sleeper cell sent from Bristol or something to watch us. All right, Liam. I do remember. I thought I lost my debit card, and I reported it lost

on the app in order to new one. And it was in my wallet the whole time. That's a huge, huge fight. I realized like two days after, I was like, fuck, I'm stupid. And they need to change everything? Yeah, so I have a new one, like in the mail, but I had the thing the whole time. You know how forest fires are actually kind of a good thing

sometimes if they're contained to a certain area because they kind of replenish the forest over the long term? That's how I look at losing my debit card sometimes because you get the monthly charges for things that you forget that you're subscribed to. And so then those charges stop, and then you have to re-sign up for them again. It's actually kind of,

you can look at this in a positive light, Bubba. All right. Yeah, yeah, that's true. You will get, before summer, there will be a few things that will fall off that you didn't even need. A couple only fans accounts that you no longer use. Yeah, a couple like first person shooter games on your phone

where you just buy all the sick guns. I've done that. I've fallen into that hole a few times. Tendrick Perkins special. Yes, yes. Kale Presley's brother special. Andrew. Yo, shout out.

Big ups. All right. I learned a fun fact about Bubba last weekend. Liam made that suggestion. You just started doing that. Big ups. Big ups. Okay.

I mean, I know I sound like the biggest loser ever, but if it will make everyone laugh, I will do it. No, if you said it, instead of let's go throw people off so much. Okay, big ups, big ups. All right. Okay, big ups. I learned an interesting fact about Bubba

this last weekend. What? So I was hanging out with somebody on Friday night and they were like Bubba, whenever we're hanging out, he sits down on my couch, slams beers and puts on YouTube and immediately searches longest home runs and then makes him watch seven minute long compilations

of just monster jacks. Oh, hell yeah. That's like your go to move. Yeah, it became like an inside joke. So now I just go over the top with it and like have to do it every time. What's your favorite one? There's one that's like 45 minutes long.

No, what's your favorite home run? The Glen Allen Hill? No, the Barry Bons at Yankee Stadium, when it just goes into like the triple deck. Yeah, steroids, dude. I mean, yeah, steroids are sick. Do you know the Glen Allen Hill one? Have you watched that one?

Where he hits, he breaks a window across from Wrigley? No. Yeah, you're gonna watch that. So fucking he hits it off like his shoelace too. For some reason, all the home runs that are hit in the old Skydome, they look like they go away for like every home run there's like 530 feet. Yes.

That's actually. Yeah, if you got to the second deck. I kind of like that, Bubba. Oh, that's kind of a cool guy. It's a power move, yeah. Yeah, it's just like that sets the tone of like, hey, let's just be guys. Yeah, I mean, like you're gonna tell me

monster home runs don't rock. Yeah, always. Yeah, you're a loser if you don't like that. And I bet you you get chicks just walking in being like, yo, you guys watching, you watching some long balls? Yeah, chicks take the long man. They do, exactly.

All right, let's do numbers, 99. Give me an eight. 38. 15. 55. Give me 14 for Ruffin Rowdy 14. 888.com. Just 38.

I'm gonna. 54. We've had that a couple times before. I've gotten one off two days in a row. 54. Command F, 54. First timer. Oh.

Okay. Score Gummy. Yeah. Huge. How many numbers do we have left? I can do the math, but I feel like there's still some out there. There's gotta be like 20 or 30 out there.

Oh, by the way, Jake, was it score Gummy? I saw Jackson State one by four fit last weekend. So it was a two-nothing ball game. Is that score Gummy? The game started, then they four-fitted. I feel like two-nothing has to be score Gummy. They four-fitted when the game started. No, that's what the score was.

The game started. Two-nothing. Oh, old school, yeah. Two-nothing's happened twice. The Akron pros over the Buffalo All-Americans, then Chicago Bears over the Green Bay Packers in 1938. They're also remember there was six, Iowa beat Penn State six to four.

Sorry, there's been five. The Frankford Yellow Jack. Iowa beat Penn State six to four. I can't remember what year it was. Oh, that was like semi-recently, right? Yeah, maybe it's like 10 years ago. Yeah. Also.

That's an awesome score. One very last thing. FCS playoff start this weekend. Oh. We have football. Check it out. Football is back. Watch it.

Go Dukes. Love you guys. Upbeat music.
