Today is Wednesday, July 23rd and football is back. PFT training camp. We're here training
camp. Yeah. Training camp. Training camp. It was a great day yesterday. We saw some of
the team start to report. I think, I think Jim Harbaugh stole the show. Yes. Oh my god hiding behind the curtain
Watching just watching Justin Herbert. It wouldn't surprise me if he was masturbating watching Justin Herbert. Oh, he loves Justin Herbert
He gets rock hard for football being back. I like if you could bottle up what Jim
I mean, this is an all-time video. He's hard ball
That's definitely jacking off if you if you could bottle up what Jim Harbaugh feels
on the first day of training camp,
you could sell that for millions, if not billions.
Well, we know what he feels like
in the first day of training camp.
He says the first day of training camp is like being born.
And so that is, I think he's simulating his own birth.
Yeah, that's exactly what's happening.
It looks like he's coming out,
breaching the womb for the first time.
I love it, I love it. But yeah, it feels good to see guys in pads, I think exactly what's it looks like he's coming out breaching the womb for the first time
Love it, but yeah, it feels good to see guys in pads not in pads yet, but but out on a field Yeah, it's cool to see guys wearing colors. Yeah, and we also have some holdouts
Trey Hendrickson. Yep
Power move by Trey Hendrickson. He said that he's not only not playing on his current contract, but he's leaving the state. He left, he left the state of Ohio. He, I love that.
He tagged himself. I think on Instagram, he tagged himself as being in Florida. Yeah.
Marked safe from the ownership of the Cincinnati Bengals.
That's a, such a power move though, to just be like, I'm not only not going to be showing up,
but I'm leaving the state. Well, Florida is the Ohio of the South.
That's true.
He also said that he's going on the war path
against the Bengals right now, because he said,
I think he talked to Manti Teo, and he said
that it was an atrocious offer that they gave him.
So it looks like gloves are off.
Gloves have been off.
And that's the only holdout I can think of.
Yeah. What's going on with
your guy? Debo looking good. You look good in the Debo Jersey. The Debo Jersey was a
big swing and a miss. I thought it would be funny to get a small Debo Jersey and then
I would look like fat Debo wearing the small. It turns out I can just wear a small Jersey.
It's a tough. Oh no. That's a small. a small end up real jerseys. They run they run big everybody knows that oh
No, it actually fit that perfectly fits perfectly. It's so good. I thought it'd be child-sized Jersey
I thought it'd be funny like hugging me
Yeah, no no no no no no not child-sized
Woman-sized Jersey woman-sized Jersey. Yeah, you can probably do a child's large
I believe we're gonna have to get you a child. We're gonna have to see this going smaller. Okay, get me a child
Give me a child Debo Samuel Jersey
It's so funny that they make Jersey that says like it's for kids that says Samuel senior on the back
Yeah, is that one?
That says Samuel senior on the back. Yeah, is that one?
It does a scene. That's he had sex. What's going on with Terry Terry's fine. Everything's everything's probably cool
They both sides want to work something out. So there's no update I've just heard updates from Terry when he was doing the eastern motors car commercial where he said he wanted to work something out
Yep, then I heard Adam Peters doing his press conference to the media today and he said he wanted to work something out. Yup. Then I heard Adam Peters doing his press conference at the media today and he said he wanted to work something out.
So it sounds like both sides want to work something out.
Yeah.
He's as good as there.
Yeah.
So it seems like it's done.
Everything's fine.
Everything's fine.
It's all good.
I, I drove the El Camino into work today and then I had to leave, take Blake to
the vet and then I drove back in the afternoon and I brought the the other car in just in
case
Something happened with Terry and then I'd have to force max to pry the El Camino out from my garage
And then we'd have to give it to a fan and then we'd well no that's what you said
Yeah, yeah, as you we also have Jerry Jones spouting off
This is I think Jerry Jones is just at the point where he's and it's probably happened a long time ago
But he's officially like officially there where he's just old guy stream of consciousness because his comments
What were the exact? What was the exact quote? Do you have in front of you?
Well, there was there was one that he said they asked him if he was gonna give up the general manager position
Okay, or if he's ever thought about it and he said that he has for about a fraction of a second and hell no, he's not going to
give it up. And then he said, I've danced with the devil, the financial devil and
lived to tell the tell, tell the tale. I don't know what that means. I don't
know the financial devil. Yeah. And then he also took a shot at Michael Parsons.
Uh, because they said that he's, uh, saying if they sign him, it doesn't mean they'll
have him because he was hurt for six games last year. He was only hurt for four. Still
a crazy thing to say. Yeah. He did the thing where it's like, what if he gets hit by a
bus? These guys could die tomorrow and we still owe them the money. Yeah. And then JJ
walk came over the top. He said, anytime you can publicly take a dig at your star quarterback and your star pass rusher
Simultaneously right before the season begins. You just got to take it
Nothing makes guys want to fight for you more than hearing how upset you are
They got hurt while fighting for you and then Micah Parsons retweeted it. Mm-hmm good times for the Cowboys
It gets start it gets started early in Dallas. He still hasn't gotten he hasn't done any like passive aggressive statements about Schottenheimer yet.
Yeah.
Which they're in the honeymoon period right now, but basically, you know, taking your two, you could say arguably most valuable assets and then publicly.
Could you imagine working for a boss that draws a lot of attention to you, but then will also trash you on his own medium platforms?
That's tough.
I could not imagine that.
No, he, yeah, the Dak Prescott one was he said he they paid the made
Dak Prescott the richest player in football and he missed two
thirds of the year. Nice Jerry. He's just he's he's old grandpa
Jerry where it's like, do we really want to say that? Do we
really want to put him in front of a microphone? Maybe he needs
a dumb button. I don't know. I he might he's probably got a
colostomy bag but Jerry is in midseason form. You guys is as NFC's guys gotta love this that the Cowboys are just I mean
This is I like it though. Like I I enjoy Jerry Jones as a figure in NFL
Oh, I agree
But I'm just saying like the Cowboys are like this is not the way you want to start camp
To have Micah Parsons seemingly upset in a shot at Dak Prescott from your owner and general manager
I was also searching during that did you did you mention the the Michael Parson? No, he said Michael
He also played the clip. I want to hear that
That's great. Yeah, he's an old guy of all the players that I've ever negotiated with
Michael Parson is a savvy and knowledgeable and understanding of his financial business.
Michael Parson is what he referred to.
And I'm not going to defend Jerry Jones.
He's 82 years old.
82 is, you know, you get to 82 and it's, you know, you're sitting at the Thanksgiving table
and you're like, ah, don't listen to what he's saying.
Right.
The way he talks-
He's giving the fucking speech to start trading, Cabe, as the owner and general manager.
The way that he talks about his players is like how a businessman would talk about one
of his vendors that he's just gotten a big contract with and you want to make sure that
they know that the pressure is still on them to deliver what you said that they would deliver,
not football players that are going out there and trying to hurt each other.
Oh man.
Listen, I'll pay a young boy his money.
Who's to say he's not going to die?
Who's to say he's not going to fall into the grill exhibit that since now he said he he would
the Jerry Jones if he had it like could you imagine if if we had the
CBA as as per Joey Jones where if you get injured you don't get paid. Yeah, it's they it's even less guaranteed contracts
He wants to share. He wants it to be if you miss a practice You don't get paid if you miss a, if you miss a practice, you don't get paid. If you miss a game, if
you miss a quarter, Oh, you got, Oh, you had to leave the game with a concussion. Well,
that's half your page. Go by play. Yeah. Yeah. A good place and bad place. He just, he, what
did they, they did, uh, it wasn't there someone who did, I guess this was just the stock market
I'm thinking about, like just dynamic pricing where it's like, Oh, he got a sack. Oh, he's going to get, you know, $10,000.
Oh, he missed the tackle. All right. We're taking $10,000 away.
Polymarket but for sports. That's what he's going to be investing. Might be on the cusp
of something. I do think that it's impossible to draw conclusions as to how the Cowboys
are going to play this year just based on Jerry Jones and where he's at. Cause he does
this every year. He does this every week. So he wants the spotlight on him. The Cowboys are going to play this year just based on Jerry Jones and where he's at. Cause he does this every year. Yeah. He does this every week. Yeah.
So he wants the spotlight on him. The Cowboys might be good this year.
They've got good players. Yeah. But it does seem like it's
shot and armor's going to get a very quick crash course in having Jerry Jones
outshine anything and everything that you do all the time.
A big time, big time. Uh, you also, I know we brought back a hurt or injured last
on Monday. Um, for the snack wrap, this. Big time. You also, I know we brought back hurt or injured last on Monday
for the snack wrap. This is, we're just gonna, I'm just going to bring this back. Right now, the, uh, you think because Saquon Barkley saying that if he could go back in time,
he would like to get paid all in Bitcoin that has gone up seven X since he started in the NFL.
You think, uh, no duh.
He's like, he basically is like, yeah, I would have rather
gotten paid seven times the amount.
I wonder if the Giants had offered him the contract
that they were offering him, but in Bitcoin,
if he would have taken that.
Do you guys have any Bitcoin?
I bought.
I'm heavily leveraging Doge.
I think I bought a half a Bitcoin in like 2016.
I don't know how to get it
I got the Doge. It's in a wallet. So I buy a little bit every month. Yeah, I like an automatic
Do you yeah good for you? That's the way you're supposed to do it
You're impressive shot shot to my brother. That's actually really impressive Hanks the richest guy at how did you do that?
My brother told me to do
Teach me how you did that. Well, if that's so smart, I like don't know how. And then if it drops, I'm like, oh, I got to buy all of it right now, which you're not
supposed to do.
Oh, I do.
If it goes up, I'm like, I missed it.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now.
I'm like, I'm going to buy it now. I'm like, I'm going to buy it now. I'm like, I'm going to buy it now. I'm like, I'm going now And then if it drops like oh, I gotta buy all of it right now, which you're not supposed to do
Oh, I do if it goes up. I'm like I missed it if it goes down
This is the end of Bitcoin. Yeah, that's what I think. Yeah, so my bottom line is I just never buy it
I did have a guy in 2012 tell me you should buy this Bitcoin
Oh, and it was like 80 bucks and I bought some energy stock that went to zero.
There's some stories about that. There was like a guy 2016 in our office like, yeah,
I remember losing. I used to make fun of Lewis and Caleb so much because Caleb like didn't
have a lot of money and put all of it in Bitcoin and then we'll be like, I have no money and
I would always give him shit. And then, you know, six years later he's like, yeah, that
worked out. I feel like Doge is going to take Bitcoin over at some point. I saw Quiggs has the best story here
Oh, yeah, he got paid right no no he used as a hard drive he used to
Use Bitcoin to pay for fake IDs like back in like high school
And he had like an extra like hundred dollars that was just like left over in the account
And it's worth like millions now, but he can't get he just can't get back
oh he's got to get someone to help him it was in like high school it was like because
that was like the easiest way it was like the only untraceable way to like use the dark
web and he just it's just out there i would think about that all day every single day
like i would just sit in a room thinking to myself one of these moments i'm just going
to remember the password dude there's a guy guy who recently I think it was like a few days ago sold all his bitcoin
that he bought. He bought $54,000 of bitcoin in 2011. What do you think it sold for?
1.2 Bill.
9.6 Billion.
Jesus. Why'd he just sell now?
I don't know. He better be buying a team
Yeah, like can you imagine not selling once you hit a billion? It's crazy. I also why would you sell all of it?
I probably sell when it was like a hundred thousand. Why would you sell like half of it and keep half of it?
Yeah, he probably did he probably has more but that's we when we miss the boat. We miss the boat boys
We've we've we screwed the pooch on the Bitcoin not Hank Hank's got
Hank's fucking swimming in it
Yeah, but imagine if you could just go back in 2010 you and just be like hey
Do you have do you have like a thousand dollars laying around because in in 15 years?
It's gonna be a hundred million. Yeah. Hey, I didn't but yeah, I was a friend. I was I
Didn't I was a little boy. I don't know. You're a crypto guy like that, Hank. Crypto King.
Again.
You are.
Shout out to my brother.
Just make your profile picture like the Bored Ape version of Hank.
Hank crypto expert of the show now.
Yep.
He is.
UFC and golf?
UFC crypto.
I don't think the crypto bros will get upset if you screw things up.
What's the other one?
I don't know.
I feel like recently there was another one that was we had another one to you. I
don't know our expert football football. Actually the expert on when we can say football is
back. Um, all right. What else? Oh, Chris Paul is backing for the Clippers. Maybe retirement
tour. They've got a great lineup. They do a great lineup. They do. James Harden, Bradley Beal, Chris Paul,
Bogdanovich, Chris Dunn. That's their guards. Kawhi Leonard, John Collins, Derek Jones,
Nick Patum, and then Zubach and Brooke Lopez as their center state. If this is the year,
if this was 2019, big three team. Yeah, this is 2019. I got, I got Clippers setting records
in the world. Holy shit. Clippers are Those are gonna be awesome some other big NBA news
Well, I one last thing about Chris Paul real quick
This is interesting because if this is gonna be his retirement year
We might have a retirement off. I don't think LeBron wants to retire the same time as Chris Paul
You think they want to split that up? I think they might I think it might be a retirement off which I love a retirement off
That's good. It's it's gonna be like who's gonna retire
first with the other person stay an extra year just because they didn't want to retire
the same year as that guy. You got to think about the Hall of Fame one day. Yep. Yep.
You do. Who's gonna get first billing? Obviously LeBron. Do you think we're still give Chris
Paul speech at the Hall of Fame? That'd be sick. Yeah, I think so. What was your other
NBA thing? It's a rumor right now, but I think that we should talk about it
Okay possibility hot rumor on the streets right now Ben Simmons has been linked to the Boston Celtics
Whoa, what do you think about that Hank? Who linked this? I think that was I think that was the Dunk Central
Okay
Not central not I don't think I got centled on it
Central still still greenie was talking about it still great purse still greenie
Hey your thoughts I
Trust Brad Stevens. I don't think this is gonna happen. I
Think there's a better chance
Terry McLaurin plays for the Patriots
Than Ben Simmons plays for Celtics
Okay
well right now the Boston Celtics have engaged in conversations with the 76ers revolving
around Simmons and expressed interest in the six foot 11 guard sources tell the with who
with the 76ers. This is back in the day. Quick, quick. By Bitcoin. OK, the time traveling.
I read I read the wrong tweet.
The Celtics are reportedly interested in signing Ben Simmons per the Stein Line.
So it is a real report.
Hank.
Boston, Phoenix, New York, and Sacramento.
That is what the Stein Line said.
That's four teams, not the Celtics.
Hank, let me ask you a question.
If Ben Simmons signed with the Celtics, how quickly will you sell yourself on Ben Simmons?
Because I do think Ben Simmons is still- Oh, I would love it. Ben Simmons had a the Celtics how quickly will you sell yourself on Ben Simmons because I do think Ben Simmons is still I would
Love it then it's a Renaissance. It's the guy who's like back and he's somewhere in there. He's got to be that guy
Thousand percent would be an all-star. Yeah, that would be all good
I would be rooting for him the better. So like next year's kind of just house money like
Who cares?
We're not gonna be that good. So why not have some
fun? Ben Simmons is not fun. He could be. If he was good, I would have so much. Oh my
God. We have to run for this now. We have to root for this. Terry to the Patriots. Not
happening. I just wanted to talk about something else. Not happening. Okay. You want to talk
about something else? Hey, you was that that was crazy to catch your interference. Yeah.
Yeah. Were you was that on your hot seat cool throne? Yeah. Okay. All right. We'll save
it. We'll save it. I mean, there's no, there's not much hot seat. It's just a stupid rule.
All right. We'll save it. Save it. I would like to hear you say that again. Okay. Um,
I don't think there's much else
I mean we have like the media days happening for the big conferences
Bella check on Thursday. Oh checks going on Thursday. Yep, Jordan on Wednesday, probably earlier Thursday
Okay, Ozzy Osbourne died. That was sad. That is very sad. Yeah, our IP sweet prince. Yeah

And wide receiver
New contract report to training camp today per source
McLaurin was not present for the commander's conditioning test today that marked an unofficial start to training camp. All other players are present and accounted for just not
McClorn. Slow news. I mean, that's pretty good. Like one one for the team is not bad. We're talking about guys that aren't here. I want to focus on the
guys that are here. Right. Ft. I'm going to continue to have your back. He's going to sign. He's going to sign. They both inside. This happens every this
happens every training camp. They both want to make it happen. It's going to happen. Terry's, again, a three Jersey guy,
but it's Redskins football team commanders.
Can I give you a spin zone as well?
Yep.
I didn't see anywhere in that report that he left the state.
He did not.
He is probably in Virginia right now.
Yeah.
So in state, still in state.
Has not, that we know of, left the state. I do love this. Just new.
I hope it's like a new fad that if you hold out, you have to leave the state. Just get
out of, get out of Dodge for a while. Just to prove, just go across that Trey Henderson
should have just gone to Kentucky. Yeah. Let's go across the bridge. Let me ask you guys
this. Um, what, what do you think Terry is worth right now? Because
the market has kind of been set by the top 40 million dollars.
40 million dollars a year. Yeah. Okay. It's probably it's
probably not doable. I think he's pretty good. He's really
good. Yeah. I think he'll settle for like 28. That's my
official prediction. 28. Three years, 28. How much guaranteed?
We're gonna do
53 million guaranteed. Okay, that gets it done. I like that get Terry in the door
Oh, you're looking up Garrett Wilson's contract for comparables. Although Garrett Wilson is a lot younger. Yeah
So Terry's 30 hundred thirty million dollar extension four years, would you say three years 58? I had it no
Yep, yeah, no that was get those a guaranteed money guaranteed 50-53 item at 28 million a year, okay?
So the deal includes 90 million dollar guarantee for Garrett Wilson, so that's not too far off
He's gonna sign you'll be fine. It's gonna be good. It's gonna be fine. Everything's
gonna be wonderful. All right, your hot seat. Baby fat Devo. My hot seat is the Big 12.
I heard Memphis. Okay. They tried to join the Big 12, offered $250 million to join the
Big 12 and got declined. That's tough luck. That that's a Like you guys cancel the football program. I feel like you anywhere any organization should be able to join the big 12 for
250 million dollars cash. Yeah, he's doesn't matter who you are. Yeah, PETA should be able to join the big 12
For 250 million. Absolutely. We should be able to join the big 12. Yeah, you know what a non-competitive
we Absolutely. We should be able to join the big 12. Yeah, you know what a non-competitive we
Athletic University, I'll offer
251 million dollars to the big 12 if they'll accept part of my take
Dude, imagine if this Bitcoin guy just bought the whole big 12. Yeah, just made him play at his house
Yeah, it was a it was a tough look for Memphis to get rejected, but they're back in there in the American
Yeah, it's the American. Yeah, it's just the American conference I like they dropped athletic
from the conference name correct so they're just the AC the American yeah
well what's the AC the American AC you can add conference if you'd like to I'm
just I refer to as the American but like if you were gonna abbreviate the conference USA conference USA
We are the American
They dropped the athletic not even North American, but don't I feel like all car does have to be I guess not what?
Three letters, but no no
Definitely not southern
Southern conference. Yeah Three letters, but no no definitely not Southern Southern Conference yeah, yeah, I see AC all right my other hot seat the Red Sox
I want to be mad more about the ruling, but it was a pretty
egregious play by the catcher the Red Sox lost on walk-off catchers interference
Second time it's ever happened in MLB history first time since 1971
The problem was the
catcher just stuck it like it was it was the batter was not swinging it was a
check swing he was also a mile behind the ball like even if he swung he was
gonna miss badly but the catcher threw his hand so far out it was technically
letter of the law catch interference Red Sox had a 10-game winning streak going to the All-Star break
one and three since I
Was I'm I'm still you know running next to the next to the the bandwagon train, but I
Haven't had a good change going faster than you or you it's starting to go faster
It's starting to lose me is the train coming towards you or going away from you?
We're running in the same direction. He's trying to catch the train.
Trying to catch up. So the train got started. You're sprinting after the train.
Yeah. Not even sprinting. I'm kind of just deciding,
like, you know, so fast, obviously that I'm like, do I want to jump on this train or no?
Like, is it going in a direction I want to like be on?
So how is it a waste of my time? Yeah. How close attention are you paying like last night? I was watching. I mean it was Phillies. I was ready
I was ready. Oh, I was ready and now is that just because it was against Max's Phillies
Well, I mean I went to two games last week. I
I'm tuned in I've been tuned in since all start break
This is the best. I mean, this is the time when like we're gonna give trade deadline next Thursday
This is the best, I mean, this is the time when like, we're gonna give trade deadline next Thursday,
is when we start having some big time series.
I mean, the Cubs just got caught by the Brewers,
the Brewers just will not lose.
11 and a 0. They do not lose.
It's insane.
They do not lose games.
So it's gonna be like,
the Cubs play the Brewers like eight times coming up.
Phillies, do the Phillies play the Mets soon?
They got you. I'm sure. Yeah. I mean, I need you more jacked up about the Phillies, do the Phillies play the Mets soon? They got you.
I'm sure. Yeah. I mean, I need you more jacked up about the Phillies.
I don't have a lot of confidence in the Phillies right now.
Yeah. Is that because of the trade deadline stuff?
All of the Mets, we play the Mets two more times, both in August and September.
Yeah. Those are fun series though. You're a half a game up right now.
Yeah, Max, you got to lock in. You got to lock the fuck in, dude. I just don't have a lot a half a game up right now. Yeah, Max, you gotta lock in.
You gotta lock the fuck in, dude.
I just don't have a lot of confidence
in this team right now.
Max Delente needs to step up.
Get the fuck up, dude.
Hank's stepping up.
It's baseball season.
I mean, I'm tuned in, I'm tuned in.
I watch every game.
It's just, I don't know.
They're a frustrating squad. You won last night. I know what also
It was bases loaded no out there were like chances are yeah
But it was more fun that the ump had to come back and yeah award the win mm-hmm. Yeah, that's a fun ump call
No, it's a great ump call. Yeah, I don't call your cool turn. My cool thought is crack talk. Yeah
Yeah, max we put out the parcel
bass fishing tournament
Max's crack made an appearance once again. Mm-hmm always how'd you do in that tournament max?
I caught a fish our team caught the biggest fish. Yeah, that's did you also point excellent point
Did you also catch the smallest fish? I?
Don't know that wasn't tracked on yeah they did they
weighed every yeah how much did your one fish weigh max and we were out there for
four hour pft how many fish did we catch we caught a ton of fish like 20 fish I
caught a fish you caught one fish yeah and it was alive yeah that was a little
bit was it was was it a was it a minnow it was a fish big mouth big mouth
Yeah, big mouth bass not a small mound not a small mouth. There's a baby bass. It was more than a pound
Size doesn't less than four four four hours one fish I
Can use net he's doing that I was we were a team. This is a team game you guys don't understand
Well, no, we do we do we won one the whole day
Yeah, you guys know but you selfish we cut how are we selfish we caught?
I would you notice I just said pfD how many cat fish did we catch we caught a ton you guys are talking about your
Seam Hank is talking about his big fish. I said our team
Biggest fish you're and you keep saying I caught a fish well you because you're saying that I didn't catch a fish
Well, I mean it wasn't really a fish. It's well. I guess who's to say I guess this is more of a political debate When does it become a fish. Well, I mean, it wasn't really a fish. Who's to say?
I guess this is more of a political debate.
When does a fish become a fish?
Yeah.
Right?
Mm-hmm.
It was a big fish.
We did well.
Yeah.
Crack was out.
We were cracking.
We were cracking up.
OK.
You guys had a great time.
Yeah, we had a great time.
Great time.
All-time vibes on the boat with you and your boys fishing.
Yep.
Yes.
Can't beat it.
Great vibes.
Great vibes. I do watch that video. It's very fun. I think I like fishing now.
Yeah, it's such a relaxing fun thing to do.
Let's go get a tuna. It also is, we should
put a disclaimer we caught like 20 fish in four hours it's very fun when you catch fish. It is yeah.
Going fishing and not catching fish is not fun. We should do, that should be a video that we do someday.
Okay, oh like the one we just did? Us fishing with no guides. catching fish is not fun. We should do it. We should. That should be a video that we do someday. Okay.
Oh, like the one we just did.
Us fishing with no guides.
Yeah.
All right.
So let's do it.
Maybe we'll do it in time.
You know, we'll do it at Camp Barstool.
A PMTV of us at Camp Barstool fishing.
Way there's fishing that.
I, we went, remember last year?
Oh, they have those.
Yeah.
We not only went, we went and it was the most ridiculous thing ever because we went out on
a boat for like an hour.
None of us caught fish except the photographer that we were paying for caught a fish and then he made me take a picture of him with his fish.
With his camera.
Yes.
That's awesome.
Like what the fuck man.
That rocks.
That rocks.
It was crazy.
I believe Max can be good at fishing but I think that the best way to settle it, maybe have Max go up against professional fishermen
and see if Max can catch like a third as many fish
or half as many fish as these professional fishermen can.
And he has to keep fishing until he's able to catch,
let's just call it six fish.
Six fish against a really good team of fishermen.
We can make a video out of it.
I like that. What do you think, Max?
I'm confused, but I'm in.
Okay. We'll get right on it.
Are you Italian?
Memes just got it.
I am Italian.
Oh, oh, the... Wait a minute. I still don't think I got it. I am Italian
Wait a minute. Yeah, I still think I get it. Yeah, no the shark guy. Yeah
Yeah, oh god a shark shark
But also hunter Biden was on the channel 5 he did a channel 5 interview and he broke he had a long
Explanation breaking down the difference between crack and cocaine. I saw a very funny tweet that was like this is what Gruden looks like yeah, he's breaking down quarterback
Yeah, you can tell his passion LeBron doing the mind the game podcast. Yeah, I'm talking about wine
Yeah, it was it was quite. I I didn't know half the thing. Oh, holy shit
Yeah, someone when someone's passionate about something and they're breaking it down,
it's interesting no matter what it is. It was informative.
Hunter would be a blast to hang out with for one night, maybe like six hours,
six hours of Hunter Biden. You don't need anything else. Damn.
I think he listens. Yeah. This show. What up, Hunter?
We'd have Hunter on probably like a four to five time.
Yeah. Yeah. Somewhere around there. Maybe missed the year in the middle.
Yeah.
Shit was going on, got a little busy.
Yeah, the laptop was, there were some viruses on there.
What do you think, what speed do you think
he listens to this episode at?
3.5.
3.5, listen, we'll have Hunter, we'll have Netanyahu on.
100.
100.
100.
Full send, bro.
Listen, we'll do Netanyahu. We don't care, okay? We'll do Netanyahu, Hunter Biden, Putin,
Coney, LeBron, anybody.
Anyone. What memes? What are you making?
Max still doesn't get it. I've been explaining to him.
Shark guy!
Yeah, the shark thing, Max.
I still, he's still trying to explain it.
What are you confused about?
I don't understand it.
You're doing a video against people that are really good at a sport,
and you have to compete against them at that sport, even though you're not very good at it.
Pros versus Joes?
Yeah.
Sorry, he will, I have faith.
Yeah.
He'll get there.
You can be on a dinghy, a dinghy boat, and you go dinghies only.
Oh!
Six?
Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, I get it, I get
it, I get it, I haven't done the Dinghies Only Challenge.
Oh man, the shark guy, the shark guy. I thought you were trying to say what that was.
I don't either. And then there was also the thing where he, there was a moment where he
was shark guy. Then he was like seven fishes Italian. Yeah. And then
I thought you were talking about the football coach that laid naked with the shark.
Oh, Jim McElhane. Not him. Not him. Not him. Confirm not him. Don't even
say it's him. All right. Good hot seat, cool throne. Thanks. PFT. Great job, Hank. My hot
seat is RFK Stadium. RFK Stadium in DC. Kind of on the hot seat right now because we have
not won but two surprise leading candidates for president in 2028 who are putting the
project in jeopardy
President Donald Trump and Stephen A Smith have both weighed in on the
subject. Stephen A Smith's idea was to build one stadium in Maryland and then
have the Ravens and the commanders share it which is maybe the dumbest thing that
Stephen A Smith has ever said. Wasn't that the Bangles Bears thing? That was
Florio. That was Florio. That was also dumb. Yeah.
But where would they have played?
Well, Florio was saying-
Like an hour away.
No, Florio was saying you moved the Bengals to Chicago,
but I was saying like,
let's just put it in the middle of Indiana.
Yeah.
Yeah, but Stephen A. Smith actually said he thinks
that it would be great if they could share.
Number one, the Ravens, Baltimore and DC are like an hour,
over an hour apart.
Right. Depending on traffic, it could be sometimes more. The Ravens, Baltimore and DC are like an hour, over an hour apart, depending on traffic.
It could be sometimes more.
The Ravens already have a stadium that they're renovating.
The big point of contention of the Washington Commander
Stadium was that it was too far away from DC,
so why would we put it halfway there?
Just maybe the dumbest idea ever
that Stephen A. Smith brought up.
And then President Trump weighed in in and this is the,
this is tough because he gave us a nickname that I fear will,
was this real? Yeah. Yeah. What was the nickname?
He called us the Washington whatevers and as it's a fucking banger,
you gotta take your hat off to the guy. That sounds like a boomer.
The Washington whatever, uh, should whatever should change the name back to the
Redskins because he found out that the stadium is located, RFK junior stadium where the second
RFK one is going to be that's on federal property, but they lease it out to the city council
to then determine what to do. Got it. I think everything trying to change the topic about
anything else. No, I think he's just very passionate about the Washington football team's name. But yeah, the way that it goes, I think that if you were to do this
move, it should have been done in November before they gave the rights to the city council. I think
it might be too little too late, but he's playing the hits right now. And so I just, you know what,
there's a welcome distraction from Terry McLaurin. Yeah
Was that your cool? That was my that's my hot seat. Yeah, and then my cool throne is my basement
Oh, cuz I fucking killed the spider. Yes. I found the spider the morning after we did the podcast on Thursday and
Blake saved my life and then I saved his life. He saw the spider crossroom, barked at it.
I got up, smashed the fuck out of that thing.
Who saved who?
I mean, Blake together.
But yeah, my basement is now certified spider-free.
That's the question.
There was only one spider.
Was that the same spider you saw?
It was the same one.
Are you sure?
Yeah, Greg.
Was Greg the spider?
Yeah, that was the only spider that's down there.
He looked the same?
Is brown recluse.
You got to start tagging him.
Killed it.
Like sharks.
There's no shark guy.
There's no need.
Did anyone reach out to you and say
that if you see one brown recluse,
there's a good chance that you see a lot of brown recluses?
Nope.
Because I saw people saying that to you.
Nope.
Did not hear from anybody regarding the amount,
the estimation. Nobody's doing a census of brown recluses in my house. Solo traveler. I from anybody regarding the amount, the estimation. Nobody's
doing a census of brown recluses in my house. A solo traveler. I think I left the door open
one day. A single brown recluse would have been better than a single hornet. They're called
brown recluses. They're shy. They're not scared of you. They're more scared of you than you are of
them. In fact. I love that whenever any animal that could maul you to death. Well, actually,
they're more scared of you than that
Well, I still don't want to fucking swim with a hippopotamus. Yeah, but I'm sure that was the only one so those aren't scared of you
No, I'm pretty sure they are no no I think that's the one example that
I'm more scared of a hippopotamus than it is of me. That's confirmed
But I'm more scared of every animal than they are of me like when people say like oh yeah you're the black bears more scared of you than you are of
them no that's not true that one might be true no but I'm saying when if I saw
a black bear I'd be very scared but they're kind of bitches do you think they
would be as scared as I would I would be very scared I think so I don't know I
think that's one of those situations if you saw any type of deadly animal like a
shark they say that with sharks
Yeah, that's that's not just not sure that's not true about sharks like people just assume my my scared level. It's higher
Mm-hmm, although I would fuck all these animals up. What am I saying? I think I'm stop bringing up brown recluse spider bites
Please I know what I got bit by a brown recluse back in like oh
Yeah
If it was a bad poll by me there there there
Oh, yeah. Oh, it was a bad poll by me there.
They're they're they're they're they're not generally scared of humans.
In fact, they are known to be highly aggressive and territorial.
Bad poll. Yeah. Bad poll.
I think any other kind of bear polar bear, they're not scared at all.
But again, I would be so scared, like even if they if you said like, oh, they're not
they're more scared to you than you are.
No, I'm I think I think hippos, I would be more scared of them than they are of me.
Wait, what did I say?
We're agreeing.
Yeah, yeah.
Hippos, polar bears, same deal.
Hippos will fuck you up.
Moose.
Except they can't swim.
Is that true?
Yes.
Now I'm back on Hippo shit.
I don't know.
They can run in the water.
They can run on the bottom.
Do you guys know Hippo?
That's scary. They run on the bottom. They float. They can'm back. I don't know they can run in the water run on the bottom Do you guys know hip that's scary run on the bottom they float they can't swim
I think they're not swimming when they're going fast. They're running on the bottom of the water floating is is
Swimming loading, but they're not sweat. They're not actively. I'm pretty sure they run on the water
I could be just so bad about all my hippo facts. I'm pretty sure they run on the bottom of the water
Oh, they said
Am I right swim? Yes way that most animals do they're too dense and cannot float. There we go
They don't even float they walk or run along the bottom of the alright a back
I'm one for one and I'm one for two in hippo facts
Damn, so Fiona can't swim. No
They just kind of like bounce. Are you on the ground on the bottom? Are you more scared of Fiona than she is of you?
bounce are you on the ground on the bottom are you more scared of Fiona than she is of you
No, Fiona's I'm not starting on the end. It's darling. Yeah, I feel back. I I got a rubber match coming up with hip-ho fact mm-hmm, and I don't know where I'm gonna go with it
Pablo Escobar had a boss how strong is their jaw?
With that mouth do extra strong one and a half tons of force that's extra strong. So there we go
I'm on the rubber how fast can they run?
up to
25 miles an hour
30 20. Oh, okay slow. I feel like I've won this
Against myself is that was your cool throw has my cool thrown base spider-free. All right, my hot seat is
Is that that was your cool throw as my cool throne base spider-free. All right, my hot seat is
reporters of the New England Patriots because Vrable is back and
It's no longer the Jared Mayo. Did you guys see this clip of rainbow? Can you pull it up max? I sent it to you. I DM'd it to you
He's a boss. He's just gonna be a boss. That's the first. Yeah, the bottom one bottom one, but nope, that's Titans
Vrable He's just gonna be a boss. That's the first the bottom one bottom one, but nope, that's Titans Vrabel there you go. This is variable talking to reporters today
Now the guys are back another 90 of them but generally speaking 91
What
pathway. What, how did they do? How do you feel about how the guys came back?
I mean, whether you were in a coma when I answered Tom's question or typing on
your phone or tweeting, I don't know, but I spent five minutes answering that question and I can go back through it,
but I'd rather not.
Yeah, it's, it's, it's, that's a tone set. That's a tone set. That's a tone set.
That's a man that has teenage sons at home.
Yeah.
He's had that same conversation.
Type it on your phone or tweet and that's where it hurts.
Yeah.
Also, can we just take a second to acknowledge what a great question it was though?
Yeah.
Like the guys that are here, how, how do they all look?
How do they look?
That's a great question.
Yeah.
You want to know?
Yeah.
Uh, and then my cool throne is
31 teams in the NFL because the Titans have kind of said they're probably not gonna win the Super Bowl this year This also happened today at the press conference
I think it was to their GM and coach if you want to pull that one up max
When they asked him if they could win the Super Bowl this year, I mean, it's fucked up
Simple question the team you put on the field tomorrow. Can
that team win the Superbowl?
Listen, we have hit. That's always the goal. Every year we realize we have a lot of work
that one's done them. That one's done them. They just were like, you can even see that's
not Callahan. So who's the, it must be their front office. Just kind of like he like giggled at it
Yeah, that's a that's a mean question. It is a mean question because Titans
He knows he's got two stories and he's deciding which button to press if you answer it
Like we have a lot of work to do then your story is Titans don't plan on being competitive, right?
If they say yes, then you say Titans are delusional. Right, right. So unfair question.
That's a tough one.
Oh, by the way, Jamal Adams is signing with the Raiders.
Blitz boy.
Still around.
Yeah, he's going to he's going to look awesome in a Ravens uniform and somehow it's going
to work out.
Shout out to Honey Badger retiring today.
Jimmy Graham also retiring today.
Philip Rivers retired yesterday.
That was crazy.
Yeah. How is he not already retired?
I don't know.
Has he been coaching football for two years?
So we just had a rash of retirements,
some legends of the game.
It did make me miss Philip Rivers.
I watched that video.
Yeah.
It also made me miss having the Chargers in San Diego.
I should never have left.
That sucked.
Agreed.
It just, there was something about it.
They just felt unique. They should have left, that sucked. Agreed. It just, there was something about it. It's like, they were just felt unique.
They should have taken the stadium for the Rams
and the Chargers and built it halfway between
and Temecula.
Yeah.
That would have made everybody happy.
Long Beach.
Don't know if that's right.
Is that right?
Ish?
Kind of.
Okay.
No, why are you shaking your head, Max?
Long Beach is definitely closer to LA than San Diego.
Yeah, but it's kind of halfway in the middle.
San Diego and LA are close though.
Yeah, San Diego and LA are very close. Do want to fact-check me? You can rollerblade
Give it to me max you just search California map
No, I am very okay, okay, but also it's on the way it's on the way
Okay, but also it's on the way it's on the early
Where's Temecula zoom in Temecula is pretty close to halfway. I think Temecula is also making in the right in the middle of Yeah, but you want to go graphic traffic
What you didn't think about traffic about traffic Long Beach is like in LA. It's ish. I have a traffic
What's that town with the D right there in the middle? That's where they need to build it. What about Oceanside?
That's how it's Oceanside. Okay. Yeah, there it is. That's in the middle? That's where they need to build it. What about Oceanside? That sounds like Oceanside
Okay. Yeah, there it is. That's a good spot. That's a perfect spot
We're learning new stuff
a lot of stuff the whole carlsbad
Yeah, I think that's mountains. Oh, that'd be cool though. I can stadium on a mountain. Yeah
All right, Zack, how's he cool throw yes I
do have a quick hot seat cool throw for you so my hot seat today is gonna be
stable Ronaldo is a twitch streamer also part of the face clan yeah he so he he
has locked himself in a padded room like a white padded room doesn't know what
time it is until he completes Elden Ring the video game are you guys familiar
with Elden Ring the video game I am guys familiar with Elden Ring the video game? I am NOT. I am I recognize the name
I've never played it or watched it. Okay, so Elden Ring is a
open world RPG game
You go you there's a couple different builds you can pick from different weapons you equip and you go out and you have to defeat
These bosses right to get to the end game
It took him like roughly seven hours and 165 attempts to defeat the first boss
Morgat and since he is in this padded room. I've got him in the hot seat because I'm a little worried. He's gonna go insane
It's an isolation except for the game. Yes, does he have does he have like food food?
There's a bathroom in there
He also doesn't know what time it is and he lost track of time super early on like hour two or three
He also doesn't know what time it is and he lost track of time super early on like hour two or three
So if he continues this track of like eight hours per boss, there's 13 there's 13
mandatory bosses to beat the game, but
Morris one of the easiest bosses so 165 attempts on the first boss. He's setting a pace for maybe insanity Yeah, so what's the math on that? said 13 bosses 13 mandatory ones 13 mandatory bosses?
He's gonna be in there for like a week. I
Hopefully not, but it could be a week. Yeah, definitely. It could be longer. Yeah, he might go insane. There's chance. It's a good idea though
Is this different than Skyrim?
Yeah, yes. What's that?
Isn't that like elder ring? It's similar Skyrim was uh
Put some Skyrim. Yeah, no, that's what oh elder scrolls. Sorry. Sorry. That was that was stupid question
Um I apologize Zach. Oh, no worries Max
All right
That's what I got in hot seat. I do have a cool throne as well
My cool throne goes to the creators of a South Park because they struck a deal with paramount for
$1.5 billion over the next five years
Good for them you guys into South Park. Yeah, Trey and Matt. That's right legends of the game. Yes
I actually think somebody tweeted
Baseball at me for best bad movie. I would I would agree. That's a very funny movie
You good movie though. Yeah, good movie. I liked it fair. Yeah, so they got they got fucking paid, huh five years
They got to do ten new episodes a year and then streaming rights to paramount. That's nothing. That's so easy. I
Think it's awesome good for the five insane payout good for them
Super cool thrown. That's pretty still very fun. We got a song like
Good for them super cool thrown. That's pretty still very fun. We got a song like
Biggar Bitcoin our podcast we need like yeah
Well, no like we need what you call them residuals
Yeah, so we air the pod like old podcast. Yeah reruns. Yeah, we get paid off though Like they're getting paid for for not really new episodes just having their old episodes on pair yeah that's a good idea Hank like if you want to yeah Spotify you wouldn't go
back and listen to them I actually think we still might kind of in a roundabout
way get paid off that yeah we should because they total up all the listens
that we've had after like a certain amount of time yeah but yeah reruns of
the podcast game that's a game changer we got it maybe maybe reruns of the podcast game with
our commentary on top yeah
or what if we did like a
like a
Basically like took all of our like stories and put it into like something and people could read it
it. Nah. That would never work. What if we do this summer vacation and we just did reruns while we were on vacation? Yeah, I bet you would like that vacation, boy. You should
do that. Yeah, Hank would love that. Hank would just be like, no, don't worry. The numbers
are fine. People like listening to March Madness 2019, middle of August. Yeah, but think about
how happy they would be when football is back and so are we.
That's true.
Yeah, but we're part of people's everyday lives.
But summer people want to take it gives them time to take off too.
We're thinking about them.
Yeah, I think that you could go back and get think of like the best episode ever and they would and
a lot of listeners have never listened to that episode.
Yeah. Okay. Then and then what about the other?
30 episode days in the summer
Go back to the vault
Open the vault up. You're not thinking about the vault. I
Think we're doing just fine. What if you just re-record every podcast episode?
Yes, that's about our ghostwriter. There you go. That's a good idea
That every single I like that. That's not a bad idea. I like that
Especially the one where we talked about Taylor Swift. Yeah, then we get all the money. Yeah
Okay
Let's do our Mount Rushmore good plan good plan

yours at chevy.com and every Chevy Chevy truck dependability comes standard. Okay. Mount
Rushmore time. Mount Rushmore of basic girl Instagram captions. Yep. Hank has been wanting
to do this Mount Rushmore for years, a long time.
Year. Well, throwing'll throw it out.
It was kind of like a running, like, internal, maybe just
an inside joke with myself, where, like, people in the group
text throw out, you know, we need Mount Rushmore suggestions,
and I would say this, and then it would just get ignored.
Yeah, it's been there.
You didn't feel seen?
No, it was more just like, how many times will I
say this before someone at least acknowledges that?
Just no or say no
It's been a project. Yeah, it's been something
I've been very very interested in for a long time and as I realize as a gram for the captions
He doesn't even look at the picture right and then as I realized I was making us this list
I said, maybe this won't be the best Mount Rushmore, but that's alright. Okay. I think it's gonna be good
We also should note that you could easily do the Mount Rushmore basic guy
Instagram captions and it would be a lot of our captions of football is back. Mm-hmm. Can't wait for football
Maybe we will maybe we'll do yeah, I love James. We will do that. See that's the over
Yes, best movies and basic guy Instagram captions. Yeah, someone someone give me a bet
These are all of our captions
All right, we ready to go. What is what? Who's up first?
We are up first. Oh, a lot of pressure. Conair. Conair. Do you want to talk about the Conair
pick? Conair is a great movie. I agree. I like Conair a lot. It didn't it didn't really
play well with the rest of the selections that were out there. I understand the criticism
behind Conair. I got a look in the mirror.
It's a really good movie.
I'm gonna do the thing that a coach does
when he's just got a shitty abysmal team.
It starts with me.
I gotta take a long look in the mirror.
It starts and it ends with me.
I let the whole team do that.
And Hank, especially.
I was gonna say, you know,
doesn't matter whose pick it was
and who wanted to choose it,
I was the one that said it.
And you know, as the person who was the captain of the day
I needed to you know make the right choice and I didn't man in the arena man the arena
So we're in last place now dead last
Big cat and Zach were crying after like to Mount Rushmore. No, we were I actually told
Bad start we didn't get our first do you still want to do the solo one soon?
Yeah, we can.
Zach and I, we had a meeting where we were like,
we're just, we're fumbling this.
And we're, we gotta stay strong. Don't break.
Stay strong. Don't break. It's still anybody's game.
Zach also does this thing where he goes around
and just asks everybody, like, what are they thinking?
He's like, oh, I'm so likable. What's your pick?
Oh, wow, Meeze.
That's not.
Listen, I didn't know when, I didn't know when Meeze was gonna turn on Zach, I'm so likable
I didn't know when means was gonna turn on Zach, but it's happening
Other people in the office. No, no, I just I just like outwardly just bounce things off I just hear ideas. I don't take any of them down. I would like to note if we're just airing things out
Baxing means we're in the kitchens for the movies draft with two of our very notable known movie guys
So who's that? Just
two dudes I know that know movies a lot. Not sure who they were, but I just I heard them
know a lot of movies. Who? Two dudes that you know, no movies. Shane and Jack. Two certified
movie guys. Yeah, I'm not. Okay. That doesn't count. Well, they are certified bad movie
guys. Just glad we're all here. Rushmore. Yeah, so memes you've turned on Zack. No, no, no
I think he's just playing like the oh, I don't know anything. Oh, yeah, he's rattling off
He's turned on Zack memes turns on everyone Zack. Don't worry. He hates all of our guts
It sounds like Zack is also kind of turned on max. I
Didn't say a thing. No big max anything either is a crisis
Pft. just made that up out of nowhere. It's like you guys were getting tips.
That I mean can I tell can I can I maybe bring bring a story that will bring us back together?
When Zach and I were meeting to do this Mount Rushmore, we were looking
doing some research on Instagram and
we were looking
Doing some research on Instagram and all I and then I just hear Zach say oops, and I said what happened
He said I just liked a picture from 2022
I was like well you got to keep that like who was it that was a hot shit. It was a bad look
Was it like someone hot chick you know or like a hot chick with a bunch of fall? That's the issue hot chick I know Oh that's so much worse cuz she'll see it. It's just like a celebrity
Who cares? That's tough
Tough start to the day, but maybe I mean, you know now you're now you're rising star
Maybe that's like high demand spark. She needs yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that would I mean she yeah, she comes back to her Instagram
She's like, oh, I do like oh and he's also, and he's also like, he's known now and now he's, he's, he's revisiting 2022.
Was the, she thought she missed her chance with you.
Zach, I have one very important question for you. Yes, sir.
This person that you liked their Instagram from 2022,
how old is this person?
26. Okay. Cause that could have gotten dangerous. What do you mean? If the person was 21 and
he liked a picture from 2022. Oh yeah. That's that's that's a land ish. Yeah. 26 year old.
That's confirmed. I can get a birthday if we need to do that. Yeah. I trust like to
see certificate. It is funny that you can trace like every beef on part of my take has
its Genesis somewhere in Mount Rushmore.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
The death of this podcast will happen during Mount Rushmore season.
That is a fact.
Either that or well actually no, because if yellow twins home run Derby will be during
the rush more season.
Yeah.
Ah, we should get the what's the, what's the doomsday clock?
We doomsday clock for, for part of my take.
We just need like, does it get closer?
We need right now we're at like, we need like a, we need a clock. We need Doomsday Clock for part of my take. We just need like a... Does it get closer?
Right now we're at like 11.
We need a clock center.
Yeah, we do need a clock center.
So number of hours until football starts.
The Ryan Russo clock.
The Ryan Russo clock. We're going to need, yeah, the Doomsday Clock, which is set back
to like 11 15 right now. We're nowhere close to it.
No, we're in a good spot.
Yeah.
Except for memes or maybe there's just a clock of
Last time memes thought about murdering someone on this show and it's just always at zero days. Yeah
That works. Okay, let's do them out rush for good preamble guys
All right, first names hate Zach first pick no, no, I like them
You guys just did the always think of this and then just rattled off three
Yeah, we got sweet we had a come to Jesus moment where we got strong, didn't break.
Alright, one more.
I did a thing.
Yeah.
Okay.

Had it on our list.
That can mean so many different things.
Yep.
Yeah.
The engagement ring is obviously the big one, but then the first house, people buy a house,

It's always I did a thing
Baby, they do it for I don't think they do it for a baby
They do it for a baby or yeah, I did it

Just a picture of the beach.
Picture of a drink.
A thirst trap.
Yep.
Good one, good one.
Had it on there.
Attack in their heart.
Three and seven.
I think three and seven are great picks.
Yeah, they kind of go together too.
All right, so our first pick's gonna be
in my blank era.
So any era where they've just decided they're in a new era
could be like a fashion choice, a city, whatever.
They're just in their era.
What era are you currently in?
In my tired era, I would say.
Just always tired.
I think that's probably right.
You're in your golf era.
I'm in my golf era for sure.
You're in your golf era.
I'm in my work era.
I'm in my- What?
I think I'm in my summer era.
I'm in my children era.
Yeah.
What?
Oh, because of golf.
Memes, what era are you in?
In my I hate Zack era
No, I love Zack. Yeah memes his errors are just different people that he hates
Okay, that is a good thing chase out least coming up and you yeah, yeah you will and then
Any Taylor Swift lyric is our next pick just any Taylor Swift lyric. They just throw it on there Look what you made me do. Yeah, just literally any Taylor Swift lyric
Mm-hmm, and they that can fit to any mood anything they're doing at any time shade never made anyone less gay
You didn't like that pick Hank
That's good pick. Oh, okay. What I didn't I didn't say you did a lot you went like this
Sometimes I just hope Mac starts starts fighting. I'm not going I'm not I'm not gonna well. No, it's interesting like
Broad because definitely the biggest Taylor Swift fan on this podcast easily documented easily and to go back to back bona fide Swiftie double dipping
bona fide
It's broad, but that's fine. All right, I didn't object. Okay, they're called women Hank
Is that us you it's you okay, yeah, yeah, well, yeah, it's pretty much Hank like Hank Hank
No one ever has suggestions for my rush more. No one we need my rush mores
I throw out a suggestion got then we choose it like this is Hank Hank Hank Hank
I just say that it was your turn maybe someone else is suggesting malrush more God for me
Then it won't be me you guys don't do anything. So I did was say was
Do you do we want to do anything? Do we want Hank to work or do we not want Hank to work?
We need to make up our mind. We just got accused of not doing anything. All right, so we're gonna go
Actually, I'm in my not doing anything era Hank. This one is mine. This was my contribution to the list. Yeah
Yeah, it's his Mount Rushmore. It's his Mount Rushmore. Oh, that's everything is ours. Be it to you. I didn't say you pick con air. I said
But that you I said what do you want one way pick con air. I said, but that you, I said, what do you want?
One way you said con air. I want a kangaroo Jack. That doesn't matter though. I did. All
right. Our second pick is felt cute. Might delete later. Yep. Yep. Never gets deleted.
Yep. 0% deletion rate on a might delete always always always good pick
Thanks a pick PFT and I think I I feel like that's more of like a cliche of a caption than like an actual caption
No, it's an actual caption. Is it how does something become a cliche good question? But like they're mocking
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I actually captioning that they're now mocking correct. That's not like people used
There's another one that I also have in that vein that I'll save for honorable mentions.
That would be on the Mount Rushmore.
It's the Mount Rushmore.
Is George Washington still alive, Max?
Is Thomas Jefferson still alive?
It's a cliche of George Washington.
Yeah, I just feel like it's more of a meme than it is like a...
No girls will do that in this in this day and age in
this era you're wrong unless they're unless they're unless it's like an actually like
a disgusting picture and they're like felt cute might delete later as a joke it would
be the most basic I would spend more time thinking about this than I have well no you
are we not supposed to you've already not. You've also
Max. No, you guys are giving me shit. I like Max. I like Max is Max is Max is breaking it
down nicely. Yeah. Like it's a good. It's a good topic. Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm I am. I'm
adding great topic. I'm adding to the rush more, but no one's thought about this as much
as you. You've been thinking about it for years. I've always thought this would be a
good man. Okay. Okay. I'm going to go
With our next one mentally. I am here. Ooh
Like that. That's just like if if it's not summer, it's just like an excuse for girls to post
bikini bikini pictures because it's like I really wish that I was in the Caribbean in December
so here's the bikini picture and
in the Caribbean in December. So here's the bikini picture. And yep. And the next one we were going to do is life lately. And that's nice. That's just a dump of whatever they're
doing at the moment. Yep. Yep.
All right. So picks. This is we're back to Hank again, right? Yeah. Okay. See the one
I have highlighted one. You guys have a live juke. I don't Yeah. Okay. See the one I have highlighted one
Uh, you guys have a live juke. I don't I don't see the one you have highlighted
Do you need a timeout?
No, I mean his pft is I
You want to tell me where on the list is
Just rip it it's gonna involve some counting hank rip it no, it. No, it's PFC's ball. Which one are you highlighting? 12. Oh god.
He's counting. This is Mike Princessa. The one that starts with the letter B? Yeah.
That one doesn't even really work though though You don't know what it is
Do it you know what I felt like right there
It's like when Max was at the Eagles game and somebody said shit they score here
I just I'm ahead on my phone. Yeah
What else do you think okay, I like on the bottom list Hank. I like number four trust yourself. I
Like number three you guys got to trust yourself. Okay, we're gonna trust yourself. I'm like, all right. Yeah, go for it
I'm gonna go with Hank. All right, do it booked and busy. Ooh
Booked and busy. Okay, I know that's also just I know what that means, but Hank. Why don't you explain what that means?
That's just like if they're on vacation, all of these are basically just like ways
for girls to post like thirst traps or bikini pictures and this girl on a beach and just
say booked and busy, but she's just on vacation.
Yup. All right. Uh, Zach, I feel strong about our last stay strong. Don't break. I think
we go, uh, pretty easy for and nine like four nine
Do you like those two do you like nine over eleven?
Mmm. Yeah, I don't really yeah, okay. We'll go now. Yeah, all right so similar to the vacation one
They'll just do like a picture at a beach or something and say never leaving this place when you're on vacation
You literally are gonna leave this and they you how does that look on a?
How do you want that to be described on a graphic never leaving this place? Okay? Yeah, yeah
I guess we could do parentheses vacation
Now yeah, never leaving this place never leave this place and then an old classic
One that I think is still around about last night
And it's just a bunch of pictures of like an awesome party or something
Mm-hmm, and it's just like this is the coolest night ever about last night that place they usually have like dot dot
Yeah after not even three dots just dot dot. Yeah
Hank and I are we're in a fight right now
Hey, it's your ball. I feel like we stayed strong. I feel good about this one. Yep. Hank feels very strongly about his
I'm gonna go with what Hank said mmm XO XO mmm
XO XO XO yeah, no that that that that
Hugs and that's just like when you don't't you don't have anything to put it for a caption
Yeah, yeah, yeah, again. This is like they have a they have a hot picture themselves
Yeah, they don't actually say what the caption is. They just want to post a hot picture. Yeah, correct
Okay, last pic. Should I say it good pic last? Okay, so last one we did mentally I'm here. So that's when you're
Outside of vacation hours when you're outside of vacation hours,
when you're inside of vacation hours, just out of office.
Ooh.
Out of office, like that.
And it just shows you on your nice vacation.
Yep.
How do you want that to look on the graphic?
Out of office.
Okay.
Great.
Did no one pick living my best life
or was that an early pick?
No one picked that.
That's a big one.
That's a big one.
But I also think that's in the cliche. Then the cliche. So the one that I was thinking
of as a, as also in cliche is like hot dogs or legs. Yeah. Like it's not act. It has become
so much of a joke that it's not actually a basic girl Instagram. One that we threw out
there based on our research Zach liking that picture 2022
Would you guys have accepted no caption because I think that's getting hot. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Oh well no we were gonna do no
We had no caption necessary that one. Yeah, there also is like the trend of just literally no caption
Yeah, power just posting your hottest pictures with no or just like an emoji, like a flower. We also saw an emoji. We also thought about doing
just emoji. Yeah. The stars one. Yeah. Like witchy stars. Yeah. We had the hand, the hand
heart. Yeah. That's that was it. The do not disturb. Yeah. Some of the ones you not deserve
is a good one. The city airplane emoji city. Yep Yep with vacation pics. That's more of like a bio
Yeah, like you put that I I'm kind of bi-coastal or red pin city. Yeah, like
Ibiza mm-hmm that's how it's tough to
Yeah, cuz it's got to be the city. Although I did I I threw out like just Miami mode
Yeah, every girl goes to Miami at some point. Here's another one.
Euro dump. Yeah. You're a dumb dumb dumb dumb. Blank blank blank. Big cat interview. I should
start posting my Q2 dump of just all your shits that you took in the past quarter would be hilarious.
You do Euro dump, but it's spelled G-Y-R-O.
If I ever go to Ibiza, if I ever go to Ibiza, I will do a Ibiza dump with the red pin.
It would just be my shits.
The one that I really liked that Hank talked me out of was new hair, who this?
Long hair, don't care. Long hair. Don't
care. Yeah. I think that that again is in my, in my category. I kind of agree. Yeah.
What about a moment? A moment for the dress whenever they get really fancy. Yep. That's
a good moment for the dress is a really good one. Yep. What about a sip sangria and repeat?
Ooh, I like that. The, uh, I've, I've I've no, I can't say I've ever seen that one.
That was real research.
This is a big, I have some real research.
There's a big one for summertime because like country concerts.
So it's just blank girl with a country twist.
So it's like Chicago girl with a country twist.
They literally just went and stood in a parking lot at the United Center.
They got boots though.
Yeah.
Gang's all here.
Yeah. A theme you say bet.
I didn't really understand that one. Twin flame for their best friend. Yep. Sushi, sushi
sundae sushi sushi sundae. That's just a thing. City girls on top city girls on top brats summers that's still going on
D&D hot girl summer. It's D&D. Those do not disturb, okay?
real hot girl shit
Real hot girl shit. I like that
booked and busy booked and busy you
You specifically asked me to take reading our list booked and busy. I've never seen I didn't
You didn't want to get contentious. I didn't want to yell at you because we were kind of in a contentious mode there
That was a terrible thing my happy place
mmm
My happy place is good. Yep, uh
Catching flights not feelings. Did we do that? I don't know if that's a cliche one. Yeah, Hank just he smirked forever that girl
Yep
Chasing sunsets. Did we do that one? I think that's a thing that girls do I
Really like sushi Sunday, which we I think also
Well, I think Hank and I might have done some research
from the same book.
I mean, search booked and busy on Instagram, Max.
I'm just saying.
Basic after basic after basic after basic after basic.
Listen, you're the expert in this topic.
No, it's just, you know, it's a group topic.
What about the nights we'll never remember
and the friends we won't forget?
That's kind of like a guy one, I think.
Is it?
Yeah.
I was trying to think of one, but it doesn't really work.
Do we add emojis to our captions?
No.
No?
Yeah, too late.
But I want to know what emoji,
what are you specifically?
A book.
The nails.
And a bee.
Oh, the nails getting polished.
Nails, stars also. Yeah. Three. I don't know. Specifically a book the nails and a bee the nails getting polished
Yeah, I don't know
the I was trying to think of like how
How to describe this one, but one that I see every now and then is like a pregnancy announcement, but it's just
The dog being like like Otis is gonna be a big brother
That's how they announce it. Yeah, Like, well, he's not a human.
We also had.
He's also pissed.
Yeah.
We had a take me back, but it seemed
I thought it was too similar to mentally I'm here.
Yeah.
Take me back.
That's also kind of.
Yeah.
It's just a girl who was in the winter
and wants to post and feels like posting, you know,
bikinis.
Some hot pictures.
Yeah. Same time next week or, picking some hot pictures. Yeah.
Same time next week or like same time next year. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And like some, some awesome place in my element. Did we do that one?
Did you say this is 20 something PFD? I did not. This is 20 something.
Ooh, I like that one. I like that one. All right.
I think that was a good Mount Rush.
I think Hank is probably the subject matter expert on this so you guys are a little bit behind Hank
Correct might not be up on I know fuck are you talking about we all have Instagram
No, I'm saying it, but you obviously like know more about it than most of why
Why I'm trying to copy how how how how ruining the spin zone how I?
Don't understand this booked and busy is it's a good pick
You're booked you're busy
You guys are just fighting with each other you're on the same team. I'm trying to gasp my boy up
I just can't I was trying to get big cats attention. I was like look at them
Fighting with each other
Pay you a compliment. I've got your slam in the brakes. Oh
Do you have Instagram? I do have Instagram. You have Instagram. Yeah, you guys have Instagram confirmed. Okay, so yeah, we're equally
We're all equally as qualified. Yeah a
subtle sleigh
It's a good pick
Would you say this was a whole this whole thing was a subtle slide
Big slide. It's a big side. I think this is great now rush for brad as fuck. This was this is a very good
I think basic bro instagrams would work too. Yeah
Yeah, dudes rock dudes rock

For anything a dude does football guy. Oh dudes on his lawnmower dudes rock he's
More drinking a beer dudes rock
All guys drinking with him like with his buddies in the backyard dudes

Like throughout history.
That wasn't ready is actually a good one.
The big T clip of talking about wasn't ready is funny.
X is not ready.

absolutely ready. Nashville definitely ready for your bachelorette party. I promise it

you can't go wrong with winning a World Series.
Obviously Harry Kalas gave me a great nickname
that'll kind of follow me forever.
But winning a World Series team championship,
it doesn't get any better than that.
Yeah.
You're the man, you're the only man.
Yeah.
The man.
Fair, we had a lot of men, a lot of men.
But yes.
25 of them.
Yeah, who were some of the other men that you played with?
Well, you had Shane Victorino on here.
I would imagine he was chatting it up quite a bit.
Might actually be a dude. I think Shane...
Yeah, he's a dude. He's a dude.
Ryan Howard, big dude.
Jimmy Rollins, little dude.
We had some good...
Pat Burrell, Jason Wirth.
There's a lot of amazing players we had.
Jim Tomey?
Jim Tomey, early in my career. He was actually my favorite player growing up.
Really?
Yeah, so I remember in spring training,
they put my locker right next to him,
which I was kind of in awe.
I thought it was pretty amazing.
A guy that I emulated as a kid in my childhood
and wanted to hit like him.
Not quite the same, but I tried.
And then to share a locker next to him was pretty special.
How intimidating was it when you got called up
and you're like, oh shit, this is,
he's the strongest guy ever.
Yeah, have you met him?
No.
Yeah, but you're right, he's huge forearms,
huge hands, just extremely strong,
but he's like, he's a sweetheart, right?
So he welcomes you into his family right away,
so it eases the tension a little bit,
so I was yes in awe, but he made me feel comfortable.
Yeah.
You guys still keep in touch, the World Series team?
Yeah, yeah, we do.
We played golf last summer and out in the UK.
Yeah, we have a chat group that we talk a little smack
back and forth.
So do you live in the UK full time?
We did.
So we just moved back.
We were in the UK for three years in London, to be precise.
Okay. So what were you doing? You were the baseball ambassador to Europe, to Europe. Correct. What does that entail?
Great question. Have you spent much time in Europe? No, I've been once. Yeah, and baseball isn't a huge sport in Europe. So one, it was a family adventure that my wife and I wanted to go on and two,
have the ability to promote a sport that I love. So essentially promoting baseball, there's
been some games in London the past several years which were huge successes. So just promote
it, get it on everyone's radar. You have soccer slash, it's really football is what they call
it is a huge sport there. So it's hard to kind of get inside of that sport, but we're working on it.
Are you trying to steal some of the market share away from cricket?
I mean, ideally that'd be great.
I mean, cricket is a huge sport as well, huge in all around the world.
India to be precise.
But yeah, it's a very traditional sport in the UK.
It's like baseball it is to the United States,
America's pastime.
So just trying to just kind of infiltrate a little bit
and get baseball on people's radars.
Was part of your job teaching Europeans how to throw
because Europeans throwing is so funny.
You just forget they don't throw.
Like they don't throw.
You're right, they don't throw.
If you kick them a ball, they'll be able to juggle it.
When like a two year old will be able to have like
the foot control of Messi.
But if they try to throw a baseball,
they look like the dumbest people.
Yeah, yeah.
Their skill set with their feet is pretty spectacular.
But you're right.
Their throwing aspect is not necessarily there.
So I was a coach for my son's middle school baseball team.
And of the 17 kids that played,
there were probably four or five
that had played organized baseball before,
kind of knew what was going on.
There were a few that had maybe played with their dads
in the past and there were a handful
that had never touched a baseball in their life.
So that was an interesting conversation
of trying to get them to understand like body awareness
and how to hold the ball.
Right.
I try to keep it easy for him, but yeah,
the throwing motion is not a natural thing.
Did your son dominate?
Yeah, he was pretty good.
I'm not sure he would be as good in the States.
Yeah.
Yeah, over there, yeah.
But that might be like a parenting hack right there.
Like I have three kids.
I might just move them to England for three years
so they can dominate in baseball and like football.
Fantastic idea. Get the confidence up, come back.
Maybe it doesn't go so well here, but at least you had those years, those glory
days. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. I worked with Ashton Genti, right?
He played football over in Germany for like the first, I want to say like 15 or
16 years of his life. Then he came back over and he was like, I'm the man.
Yeah. And he just kept being the man. Yeah. Much like you. Yeah. The man. I love it. You guys are good. Was there an age when you realized that you were going to be
the man? Like when was baseball like, Oh, this is actually a future. Probably not until high school,
to be honest. I played a bunch of different sports growing up. Like majority of my friends did.
Majority of guys that my generation did play a bunch of basketball, played baseball, played soccer.
We played, you know, street hockey.
We played it all.
Probably in high school is when I probably started
separating myself a bit from my peers
on the baseball field.
I was a little guy and I started to grow a bit
in high school and that's kind of when I started to,
actually this could be an opportunity.
Yeah, and so you got drafted by the Dodgers, your hometown team.
And then you're like, no, I'm going to go to UCLA.
Was that a hard decision?
It was a hard decision.
Yeah, I was drafted in the second round,
so pretty high up there.
And I had my dad negotiate with the Dodgers.
And we got to a point where it was getting close,
it made some sense.
I said, all right, well, I'm gonna go down
with my high school buddies on our senior trip
down to Cabo San Lucas, and when we come back,
we'll finalize everything.
Went down there for a week with a bunch of my buddies,
and then just kind of slowly over the course of that week
realized that I think I wanted to go to college.
I wanted to kind of experience the college atmosphere in my college years.
So I came back and told my parents that I didn't want to sign professionally.
I wanted to go to school, continue my education as well as my baseball education.
And luckily it worked out.
Yeah, it worked out because then you ended up being what, the 15th pick?
So by the Phillies. Yeah. Yeah. You've done your homework.
Yeah. I mean, well, I saw when I saw it, I was reading about it. Yeah, it worked out because then you ended up being what? The 15th pick? By the Phillies, yeah. You've done your homework.
Yeah, I mean when I saw it, I was reading about it and I was like,
he got $875,000 offered from the Dodgers when he was in high school and he turned it down.
Like, what an idiot. But then I was like, he went to UCLA and then it ended up being like 1.8 or whatever it is
in a first rounder. Pretty good bet on yourself.
It was a bet on myself, but also I felt like
if baseball was really meant to be,
I would still have an opportunity after college.
Yeah.
I think, I mean, especially looking back on it,
those college years were imperative for me.
Growing up as a young adult, navigating on my own,
and also still continue to build my baseball skills.
Yeah. So you get 1.8 right out of college, and then you continue to build my baseball skills. Yeah.
So you get 1.8 right out of college and then you have to, which is pretty incredible.
Right.
You have to pay tax on that.
That's true.
Which I didn't really realize at the time.
So you only got a million dollars when you graduated from college.
I think a lot of people would not be able to handle that right off the bat.
How were you able to get through that and focus on what you had to do to actually like be good at the job that you already got paid to do?
My goal was to be the best player I could be. I know everyone says that, but truly that
was my goal is to try to continue to improve. And obviously, yeah, having some money in
the bank was nice. I started investing it. It wasn't the best time to invest it considering it was like the summer of 2000 and then the
bubble hit.
So that was my first experience of the stock market thinking, wait, maybe this, I'm not
sure what point it's got.
It's not all cracked up what it's supposed to be.
But yeah, I enjoyed it.
I just wanted to improve.
So luckily, I've had some great coaches on my side in high school and college that kind
of motivated me and pushed me to be the best I could.
And again, lucky I had some great coaches in minor leagues as well.
Yeah, it worked out really well for you.
Obviously, you had a great career.
You were adored by the citizens of Philadelphia.
The entire city loves you.
But I think you were maybe the most hated player by all the teams that the Phillies
were playing against. How long did it take for you to be okay with being hated?
Actually from, I don't know about day one.
I remember my first at bat in the big leagues, we were in Philadelphia at veteran stadium
and I was, I think I pinch hit late in the game.
We were getting, we were getting killed at the time and I, and I felt like I was having
a good at bat.
A foul on pitch after pitch off, probably seven or eight, nine pitches later, I ended We were getting killed at the time and I felt like I was having a good at bat.
Fallon pitch after pitch off, probably seven or eight, nine pitches later, I ended up striking
out and as I'm walking back to the dugout, the home fans of Philadelphia just boo me
all the way back to the dugout.
So that was a quick reality of, okay, you have to have some thick skin here if your
home fans are going to boo you.
So going to an opposing stadium,
I always felt like if they're going to,
they're booing you for a reason, right?
They're trying to get under your skin.
And I tried my best to not let it affect me.
Have you ever heard somebody say,
fuck Chase Utley in the wild,
that they didn't know that you were there?
Plenty of times.
Oh, didn't know I was there.
Yeah, and you're like, hey, hey, that's me.
Wait a second.
No, I'm not sure I've heard that.
Definitely it's plenty of times where I'm on the field or hanging around the stadium. Yes. I've definitely heard that and I appreciate it
Yeah, I love this fan support. Yeah, wait
So your first hit in in the big leagues is a home run and you sprinted around the bases. I did
16.3 seconds kind of a try-hard move wouldn't you say?
Well, that was fired up. I and think about it get to the big leagues
You get a hit and it's actually a home run and it was a grand slam to be. Yeah. So yeah, super fired up
I didn't really feel my feet. You're just kind of sprinting around the bases
I mean, I've always kind of run hard a lot and not try to show up to other team. That was probably a little bit
Exaggerated. Yeah
Looking back on it. I'm not sure I would change it, but it's really fast I tried to show up to other team. That was probably a little bit exaggerated. Yeah.
Looking back on it, I'm not sure I would change it,
but that's really fast.
That's really fast.
That's really fast.
Should have enjoyed it more.
I definitely should have enjoyed it.
Yeah.
Do you ever sprint to first base on a walk?
Never.
Yeah, that's a move that-
There were a few college teams that did that
and I didn't think that was appropriate.
Not part of the game.
No.
Yeah.
I want to ask you about a great play
that you made in the World Series,
the pump fake to first base throw home.
It might be the best pump fake in the history of baseball.
Did you know that you were going to pump fake it?
Not when he was first hit.
No.
I mean, you have this internal time clock in your head
as you're going for the ball.
I was shifted, not to get too many details,
but I was shifted towards the first base because we had a left-handed pitcher that threw sinkers in
So most left-handed hitters pulled the ball
And he hit the opposite direction of where I was actually playing so it was all kind of a long run to get there
I knew the run on second base mattered that mattered more than the guy in the batter's box
So as soon as I caught it, I realized like I'm not sure I'm gonna have much play
So maybe pump fake it and see what happens. And it was an aggressive base running move.
Luckily Carlos Rees made a good catch and tag.
Yeah, it was a great pump fake because I watching it back, I was like, I don't think he knew
he was going to pump fake until the very last second, which made it such a good.
You're absolutely right.
You're absolutely right.
Yeah.
Because like I said, this internal time clock that you have, you just realize something's
this is maybe I make a perfect throw and he's out, but maybe not.
Maybe I throw it away unclear what could happen.
So it was better to keep it in my hand and try with the next guy.
Luckily he kept going. Yeah. And playing second base. So you coming up,
you played shortstop in third base, right? And you,
and you get moved to second base. Did you take that as like a insult or were you
like, I'm cause you like um because you know it
it's a different position it's obviously third baseman's got a really strong arm was there any
part of you like what the fuck i'm a third baseman i could play this position no i was a short stop
in college my first my freshman year and after making 30 something errors my freshman year i
wasn't really i wasn't really short okay i didn't have. I didn't have the athleticism or the arm strength
to really play shortstop.
That's when I moved to second base and I was happy to.
It's a, it's not an easy position,
but it's an easier position than shortstop.
I think shortstop's the hardest position
on the entire baseball field.
And guys that are successful at it make it look easy.
It's pretty special.
Do you think you could, like, was there a point
where you could turn a double play with Jimmy Rollins
with your eyes closed?
Both of you guys having your eyes closed.
We turned a lot of double play.
Yeah, you guys had it down.
Yeah, maybe not, maybe sometimes I might've had my eyes
closed to be honest with you, but no, he was, he was,
he was, when I talk about great short stops,
he was one of the greatest short stops
because he would always give me great feeds.
So it was hard for me to kind of screw it up, even though I did screw some up,
but most of the time he would give me a perfect feed and make it an easy,
easy double play. So I was again, lucky to have him on my, on the other side.
Yeah. Yeah. Do you know where you rank in a hit by pitches all time?
It's funny. Funny. You bring that up. My son actually recently,
I think we were watching a game
and somebody got hit.
And my son looks at me and goes, do you think that hurt?
I was like, yeah, probably hurt, but it goes away
after 30 seconds or a minute.
He's like, Dad, don't you have a record
for getting hit by pitches?
And I was like, I got hit by a lot of pitches.
But yeah, I think it's in the top 10.
I'm not sure it's a stat that like, is that impressive?
Oh, it definitely is. You're, you're ninth all time in the history of major league
baseball, your ninth. You also got hit by a pitch three times in a single game.
Uh, that is impressive. That's as tough as tough could be.
Was there a specific one where you're like, oh man, that one.
There's a few.
Think about it.
There's a, I got hit in the hand.
I broke my hand.
So I think about that one because it took me out a month.
And that was in 2007.
And we were having a, I personally,
we were having a good season as a team,
but I personally was having a really good season.
So that slowed me down a little bit.
The one that hurt the most,
I got hit like underneath
the bicep one time that my whole arm went numb and my hands like
crunched together and I couldn't, I couldn't,
got you on the nerve. Yeah. Yeah. It got me on a nerve. It
probably took, I don't know, a minute or so felt like eternity.
It probably took a minute for my hands to like peel back. Uh,
that one. I remember it quite a bit.
And did you ever have a, uh, like getting hit by a pitch and then the next time you're in the box,
having like a little hesitancy because that would be a natural human reaction.
Yeah, no, to be honest with you, no, I mean, there's a few pitchers that I faced that were
fairly intimidating, like a rolled as Chapman being big, tall left-hander kind of throws from
here and throws a hundred and something. And he didn't know where it was going.
It was a, Lee was a little wreck.
So he, I was slightly, like most lefties
were slightly uncomfortable facing him.
Yeah.
Do you have one that you remember that you're like,
that kind of felt good.
Yeah.
There's a bunch of them, especially like if it,
if the bases are loaded, those felt good.
Yeah.
Get on base.
I had Reinhauer hitting behind me, Jason Wirth sometimes,
Pat Burl hitting behind me.
So we had some big power hitters hitting behind me.
So anytime I can get on base, I felt like it was an advantage to us.
Yeah.
You're a guy that I could imagine at some point got hit by a pitch because you
pimped getting hit by a pitch.
Like you got hit by a pitch, you know what I'm saying?
And then you like started running to first base, you're like flexing a little bit,
bat flip.
You're like, that was awesome.
That felt great.
You're like, you can't show me up getting hit by my pitch.
I'm gonna show you again.
I mean, I tried not to show much emotion out there
for whatever reason.
That's kind of how I was taught at a young age.
And I stuck to it.
Jimmy Rollins used to give me shit all the time.
It was like, dude, you gotta smile a little bit more.
You gotta show a little bit more.
And I just couldn't do it.
That was not in my MO.
Were you like that in the clubhouse
or just like out on the field?
Yeah, probably a few hours before game time is when it started for me
It was fairly loose prior to that. But once like it got closer to game time
It was like put your game face on and stuck with it
Well, Jimmy claims that he made you laugh all the time, but you just always had your glove over your mouth true
So on the field you were laughing That is true. you just always had your glove over your mouth. True. So on the field, you were laughing.
True, that is true.
As I got a little below it for sure.
Yeah.
Jimmy's a funny guy.
Yeah.
I can't necessarily repeat everything
we was laughing about, but yeah.
But for whatever reason,
I didn't feel that it was appropriate
for the camera to see me smiling.
That's what's happening.
Looking back on it,
maybe I wish I did a little bit more,
but it is what it is.
Play the game hard, the right way.
Sounds like a guy who runs the home run run.
16 seconds, that's so bad.
That's so fast, dude.
That's so fast.
Speaking of playing the game the hard way, you have a rule named after you.
Yeah.
Jay Seltley can't break up a double play.
I miss it.
I know it's player safety. Do you think that like,
there was just something about it where it's like, you know, a guy's he's gonna be out at second,
but he can really fuck this up by sliding in. Right. I miss that part of the game.
Do you think like there's part of you that like, man,
Well, I think it depends on how you grew up. I grew up watching baseball in the,
when I remember like mid eighties,
late eighties, early nineties,
and that's how guys went in, hard all the time.
And short stops and second baseman's were aware
of the guys that came in harder than others.
So yeah, I miss it because that's how I grew up watching it.
I understand the aspect of keeping guys safer.
It is definitely gonna keep guys safer.
Same with the home plate rule now.
That's gonna keep guys on the field a lot longer.
I mean, as a second baseman,
I had my fair share of getting flipped and spiked
and smashed all the time.
And it was part of the game
and you don't necessarily like it in the moment,
but you understand that it's part of it.
Yeah.
Yeah, like for you specifically,
it's like if you do it at second base,
you know they're gonna have the opportunity to do it back to you
Yeah, of course you're gonna you're gonna deal with the receiving and I and I remember as I started to do a little bit more
Do diligence as I got a little bit older on
Who were playing position how I want to position myself
understanding the runners that come in hard Scott Roland a Hall of Famer played for the Phillies and went to the
runners that come in hard, Scott Rolland, the Hall of Famer played for the Phillies
and went to the Cardinals and Reds.
He came in hot every time.
And we knew it as infielders.
So we knew, like Jimmy and I would have a conversation,
Scott Rolland's on first base,
ground ball double play, get me the ball quick.
Give me the ball quick so I can get it
and get out of the way.
Because he was not scared and he was coming for you.
And I mean, you appreciate that as a, as a baseball player.
Um, but yeah, you, you needed to be aware of some guys coming in hot.
Yeah.
For, for player safety, how bad was the vet?
Cause we've heard about it.
Well, I mean, I played probably, I don't know, 30 or 40 games there
most, and it was my rookie season.
So I was so much better than AAA stadium.
Right.
So I wasn't, to me, it wasn't bad in the moment. Let me look him back. Yeah, it was old. It
was run down. They didn't put much money into knowing that they're going to have a brand
new stadium. But I was, I was happy to be there. So taking ground balls on a major league
field, regardless of what field I was happy with.
Yeah. Yeah. All right. I got a really dumb question for you. You had a 35 game hit streak. Was there any point during the history where you're like,
I'm just gonna get hit every day for the rest of my life?
Because I would definitely think that like I'm the type of guy who like if I hit like three free throws,
I'm like, maybe I missed my last free throw. Yeah. I mean, there is a, I mean, I think in any athletes,
career, they go through moments where they just feel invincible, right? And in those
short streaks, yeah, you feel like you can do whatever you want.
That's not a short streak, by the way. 35 games, not a short streak.
Right, right, right. But during that, it's not like those 35 games, I didn't feel great
every single game, right? There's bits and pieces of that where I didn't feel very good
and I was able to leg out a hit or hit a swinging bunt
or bloop one over someone's head.
But yeah, there are certain moments in there
that yeah, you can feel like you're gonna get a hit
no matter what.
And then vice versa, there's sometimes out there,
you could probably talk to a lot of guys
that think there's no way I'm ever gonna get a hit again.
Those are tough pills to swallow,
but you just kind of go stick with the program, what got you
there.
So it feels like there was maybe one or two days where you're like, yeah, I think I've
solved baseball.
Yeah, maybe seven or eight of those.
It is a good feeling.
Unfortunately, it just doesn't last long enough.
But any hitter at the major leagues that has had some success will tell you, yeah, there
are times where you feel like the ball looks like a beach ball and you're going to hit it no matter
where it's going to fall.
During that streak, are you superstitious?
Were you doing anything that was the same?
I am superstitious.
I don't remember exactly what I was doing, but for 100%, I was doing the same shit every
single day.
I mean, I would put my I mean stupid corny stuff
I put my left sock on before I put my right cup sock on that was like a constant throughout my career
That's not corny. You're the guy with 35. Yeah
That's not I'm sorry. I've never done that. Maybe I could be really good at baseball
I would eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich before the game
Okay, now I started that in the minor leagues because as you can imagine the minor league
Spread isn't quite like the big league spread. So the only sometimes the only thing available
was making yourself a PB and J. So I stuck with that even in the big leagues, even though
there was plenty of great food. So you ate that every game? Pretty much, pretty much
every game. We need to have that on a graphic just being like, you know, however, I'm not
sure I'm proud of that. How many games did you play? I don't know. I got the phone right there.
Yeah, I know.
I got to find it.
So did you tell the kids in England,
hey, you put your left sock on before you write?
No, no.
There was other things I needed to get through to them
before that.
I mean, that's step one, though.
That's getting dressed.
Step one is like, what hand to put your glove on.
I think that's OK.
Yeah.
That was definitely a conversation we had.
You know, we had an end of the season tournament this year.
We went to Frankfurt.
So we traveled to Frankfurt.
There were a handful of other teams from throughout Europe that were there.
And I mean, this is a big end of year tournament.
Everyone's excited for it.
And one kid comes up on the day of the game, he's like, oh, coach, I forgot my glove.
How do you forget your glove in the biggest tournament of the year, I don't know I just forgot it
I'm like, well, you can borrow someone else's he's like, well, I'm left-handed
Wow, okay. Well, so I guess you probably not gonna play this week, but go and have fun
Yeah, what do you do go to a baseball store and you got a pinch it you got to he got to hit but yeah
No, no defense. So yeah,
to answer your question, I did not talk about superstitions to them.
It was more easy fundamentals. Yeah. All right.
So chase Utley ate 1,937 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
That's pretty crazy. I might be a wreck. Probably more actually. Yeah.
Probably double double times. Yeah. Yeah. For a hundred. Yeah.
Season. Uh, I think it does too. Does that include pro season?
I think it does.
Did you ever change it up or what jelly?
Whatever was available.
So you were on the good strawberry?
I was not particular.
I prefer the creamy peanut butter over the chunky one,
but if that's all they had.
White or wheat?
Again, whatever they had.
I would go probably white
because I was in majority clubhouses.
We, not so much.
This is a portion of the podcast,
like when you see like fake influencers
or like what's your why?
How did you get so successful?
We're just gonna just really drill down on
what's in this peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
What made you great?
You got some protein, you got some carbohydrates,
you got some sugar in there to get you ready for the game. I'm not sure I'm an unknown nutritionist.
Terrible.
Well, which hand would you use for the knife because you use
different hands at and throw?
Yeah.
Good question. Good. And I didn't. I would typically wash
my hands out. There are times I've gone out in the field with
like, jelly on my
Friday.
I handed you two pieces of bread right now, which one?
I would go left.
You would go left hand on the knife or left hand on the bread?
No, I would go left hand on the bread, right hand knife.
And I would start with the left.
Would you cut it after or you just eat it whole?
Like would you cut it in half, do that thing?
Great question.
You know, the fancy thing?
I would usually cut it in half.
You would.
Triangles or rectangles?
You go across the diagonal?
No, no, I would go rectangles.
Okay.
No triangles.
Ever toast the bread?
No, never.
Okay.
Always eat the crust?
Always.
Always eat the crust.
Okay.
Any milk with it?
No milk.
Water?
Water.
You're not a dairy guy, right?
What's that?
You're not a big dairy guy, right?
During a certain portion of my career,
no, I was dairy free.
Why? Why? I was dairy free. Why?
Why?
I was having knee issues and they were killing me.
And I needed to make some adjustments.
So I checked a bunch of different boxes
on trying to get this inflammation
and this pain out of my knees.
And that was one of the boxes I checked.
And I told myself, I'm gonna do it for a month.
Not that I want to do it,
but I feel like this could be beneficial. I did it for a month. Not that I want to do it, but I feel like this could be beneficial.
I did it for a month,
and probably about three weeks into it,
honestly, I felt so much better.
Really?
My body, yes.
I mean, I was doing some other things as well,
but my body just felt fresher.
This was during the middle of the season,
so you're playing every single night,
you wake up in the morning, something hurts,
your ankles hurt, your knees hurt, your backs hurts.
I remember a particular morning waking up and getting out of bed and walking
and I didn't, I had zero pain and for a light bulb went off and I,
I attributed it to the lack of dairy at the time. So I stuck with it for a while.
Yeah. I'm back on it.
Okay, good. Because I was to say this is a problem because I just purchased
a soft serve ice cream, industrial soft serve ice cream machine for our office.
And now this is like. Yes, I missed it. Yeah. But you also felt awesome. And I feel like
shit. Yeah. And I, the only thing I do to fix feeling like shit is eating more ice cream.
Yeah, that's probably not a great, no, that works. It makes me happy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Momentary happiness. So what about pizza? Yeah, now then no, yeah. Momentary happiness. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Understood. So what about pizza?
Yeah, now.
Then, no.
I was the guy that ordered pizza with no cheese.
No cheese on the pizza?
No cheese on pizza.
Was it good?
You sound like a guy who runs a base of 1600.
That's what this sounds like.
Was that good?
Did you convince yourself?
It was good enough.
Yeah.
Better than nothing.
But it's funny because who do we...
Oh, it was Joe Kimono, who, NBA player. he said that what people don't realize, fans don't realize,
is like being great is really boring.
Because like it's just, you have to have a routine.
Did you feel that way where it's like,
people think it's a glamorous life,
but it's like, no, I have to not eat dairy
and do the things right.
It was a great lifestyle, right?
You get to play a sport that you grew up playing as a kid.
You get to travel.
You get some money in the bank.
You're part of a team.
But yeah, there's definitely plenty of sacrifices that guys have to make from hanging out with
your buddies, going to parties, missing weddings, missing birthdays, missing kids being born.
That happens all the time.
But it's part of the program. You have to be, unfortunately, you have to be a little selfish to,
in my opinion, to have like,
be really successful at a sport.
Really anything to be honest with you.
Yeah.
Our producer, Max, is a giant Phillies fan.
Love it.
Yeah, we introduced you a little bit before you jumped on.
I know he's got a couple questions for you.
So Max, bring it back.
I'll load some questions.
Let him have it. Don't step on anything. You don't have any valuables on
the floor. Do you? Because Max will destroy it. He can't get the what's going on with
the mic. Struggling with the mic. Struggling with the mic. I'm back. I'm back though. Fix
the mic. Uh, first question. This was a very big moment in my life as a child the 08 parade Yeah, world fucking champions that was back at a time where cursing on TV
wasn't necessarily as
Accepted as it is now was that something that you went into that day thinking you were gonna do or was that just
Feeling the moment. Yeah feeling moment
I'm gonna start early right and you can imagine imagine the few days leading up to that of just celebrating a World Series victory.
So yeah, so it started early.
We're on these floats.
We're traveling around downtown Philadelphia
and there's literally millions of people.
I was there.
Yeah.
So millions of people just out there supporting us.
Beers are flowing.
Everyone's having a great time.
Then we get to the ballpark and we all get on stage.
We had no idea that we were gonna, someone was going to put a microphone in front of us. And sure enough,
they did. And you know, I was energized along with everyone else. And I kind of came out
what I was feeling. I got some grief for it, but mainly a lot of high fives.
I think that definitely definitely more celebrate and you talk back to the f word. I think that definitely more celebrated. You taught Max the F word.
No, no.
I mean, that was awesome.
That was like-
You used way too much.
Yeah.
Well, I remember.
I mean, one of the things I was, at the time I was sponsored by Utz potato chips.
Oh, yeah.
Which kind of was fitting.
Yeah.
But after the F bomb, no longer.
They dropped you?
No.
Maybe it was just- Potato chips have dropped you know, maybe it was just
That's insane, yeah, I know and I like those chips those are good chips good
They're on site for us, yeah
Yeah, I'm a guy anyway, let's just be honest. So if they're around, I'm going to eat them.
Yeah, they're good.
Is that protest?
No hard feelings.
That protest lasted about three seconds.
Also, if they backed the truck up.
Yeah.
OK, we're cool.
Lots of cheese balls, too.
So the crab chip.
I can't. Yeah.
The crab is so good.
Doing a boycott on when I see the crab chip on the show.
Yeah.
Straight ahead. All right. Another question. I have a couple. I nuts? Oh, when I see the crab chip on the show. Yeah, straight ahead.
All right. What another question?
I have a couple. I mean, yeah, go.
Me office. Max, bring it to. Yeah. Yeah.
Second one.
I don't have a fact check on this, but I feel like you may be the only player
in MLB history to have a portion of a field named after you
in an opposing field.
At least corner at City Field is forever
Utley's corner. Like what was it about playing against the Mets that you just
absolutely dominated them?
Good, great question. Yeah, great question. I mean I think any time you're playing
against your rival, right, it elevates, can elevate your game. I think it can be
intimidating but for me it was, you know, I wanted to prove them wrong,
if you will.
So yeah, we had a lot of success playing in New York.
Some me personally, some our team.
And yeah, I hit a bunch of home runs
kind of down that redfield line.
And I mean, I haven't nicknamed that my corner,
but I guess a bunch of other.
Oh, I was looking it up.
Apparently, like two years ago,
and you obviously haven't been playing for a long time,
there was a national broadcast
that they still refer to it as Outleash Warner.
That's pretty sick.
I do remember coming in,
I remember after the slide rule,
I remember coming in the following year playing in New York
and I was playing second base. Ending is over, I'm running in the following year, playing in New York, and I was playing second base.
Ending is over, I'm running off the field,
and I'm about to go down into the dugout,
and there's a father-son right on the first row,
right above the dugout.
And I kind of just look up,
and the son who's maybe 10, 11 years old,
he looks at me with this fire in his eye.
He's like, Chase, I hope you fucking die.
As loud as he could possibly do it.
And I was like, oh my God.
And I look at the dad like, Dad.
And dad goes, yeah, motherfucker.
And that's when I was like, oh, this is great.
And that boy grew up to be Meek Phil. Yeah great. And that boy group, the Meek Phil.
Yeah, yeah.
You've got to love that.
Yeah, or memes.
All right, keep going.
This one's a little sillier.
The Always Sunny episode.
How many real adult men sent you that exact letter after that episode came out?
Quite a few.
Quite a few. Quite a few.
I mean, there's a certain point where the fan letters got overwhelming.
So there's a woman for the Phillies that was nice enough to kind of open them for me and
kind of sort it out to make it a little bit more easier.
And yeah, there were hundreds of those letters.
How was working on that?
I mean, it was great.
And I mean, it's the first time I've ever been in front of a TV camera.
I did it with Ryan Howard, which helped.
But getting there, we were a little nervous, right?
But getting there, the guys were great.
Charlie and Rob, they were awesome,
made us feel comfortable.
And I realized they're just doing whatever they want, right?
They're doing different iterations of different takes.
You didn't have to be perfect. And they can cut it and splice it the way they want. So I think having
those guys around and kind of giving us an example of what it was like made it
so much easier. Yeah. Have you had a catch with Rob Mack since then? We've had
a catch. You'll be out here this week. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're gonna have him on. Yeah.
Great. Yeah. Yeah. Memes, do you have a question for Chase Utley because you do not like him? Mine is in regards to the
slide. Yeah. I'll keep it civil. Why'd you do it? Do you have any regret about it and
have you ever apologized to Rubitata? Your first question is, why did I do it?
Why'd you do it?
Why did I do what?
It was such a blindside.
Can you blindside someone?
As a veteran, you knew you were just going in to fuck him up.
That's absolutely incorrect.
Keep it civil.
Keeping it civil.
Yeah.
Listen, I get it.
I understand your frustration as a Mets fan, and I get it.
But there was zero intention to fuck anybody up on that play.
As I mentioned before, I grew up watching 80s, 90s baseball, hard nosed slides.
And at that point, I don't know how many years I had in the big leagues, but 10, 12, 13 years
at that point.
And I've always gone in hard.
And that was no different.
Obviously, the outcome was different than other slides
that I've had.
I didn't anticipate actually hitting him nearly as hard
as I did.
I was actually anticipating him jumping up in the air,
because the way it all kind of unfolded,
and as you can imagine, it's happening pretty quick.
So as he took the feed, I'm thinking, okay,
he's gonna hit the bag, get up off his feet in the air
and try to throw it.
So me, I'm trying to slide a little bit with my body higher
so I can clip a leg and get his throw off.
But instead he spun, which I was definitely not anticipating.
And yeah, looking back on it, I didn't feel good about it.
I actually felt terrible about it.
I had no intention of hurting him whatsoever, and I attempted to apologize to him.
He wanted no part of it, which again, I understand.
So yeah, if I could go back in time and knowing the outcome that happened, of
course I would have done it differently because I would have realized he's not
gonna jump, he's gonna spin, and I could have disrupted his throw differently.
How do you feel? Yeah, yeah. Are we healed?
Do you want to do a non-civil question?
No, you're responsible for one of the greatest clips in MLB history.
Game after the slide, the year after,
when Noah's Indigard threw and got kicked out, ass in the jackpot. Right. Yeah.
It is a great clip.
Yeah, the ass in the jackpot.
With Tom Halleyan. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes. I yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yes.
I mean, listen,
as, I mean, especially kind of playing in the early 2000s,
in the players kind of at the time,
we were able to kind of police what was going on.
You hit our guy, we're gonna hit your guy,
and it is what it is.
I mean, now I've got, I mean, Major League league baseball, which is rightfully so, steps in a little
bit more to keep those confrontations from happening. And that moment, I'm expecting
me to get beat, right? If they would have hurt one of our players, regardless on purpose
or not, we're gonna hit their guy just because that's how it used to happen. So I was fully anticipating it to happen. I was surprised that he was thrown out.
It was just too, at the time it was too blatant and the umpires probably were on warning anyway,
so they didn't have much of a choice. But yeah, here in...
As the jackpot. It's a great phrase. It's a good one. It's a great clip. I agree. Uh, was there, is there one pitcher that you hated facing and one that you were like, I can't wait to face him?
Um, I mean, there's a few guys that I, that I enjoyed facing only because I had some success off him. Some guys you just see better than others. There's a guy here at the, at the tournament, uh, Derek Lowe, who had a really successful career.
For whatever reason, I saw the ball well off him, so I had some success off him.
There were other guys, not so much.
Let me speak, and I rolled as Chapman.
Lucky I didn't have to face him very often, but he was tough.
Don Trell Willis.
Remember Don Trell Willis?
Yeah, hard lead kick.
Yeah.
He was funky for me.
I just could not pick up the ball.
He's big, herky-jerky motion.
He had like a knee brace on,
which for some reason I could not look at.
Yeah, he was tough.
Good guy, but he was tough.
Yeah, what about ballparks in general?
Was there a ballpark that was harder
for you to see the ball in?
I don't know about see the ball,
but some ballparks are a little bit more uncomfortable
than others, at least for me.
Like, I mean, obviously I enjoyed playing at St. Vincent Bank Park.
I enjoyed playing in Dodger Stadium.
Going to New York, you see the ball really well and the fans are into it, so it kind
of livens the atmosphere.
Playing in Wrigley Field is awesome, regardless of the crazy day games and the shadows that
you deal with as a hitter.
It's still so much fun to play there.
Going to San Francisco can be challenging
because you're traveling around the country
during the summertime and everywhere you're going
it's 75 to 95 degrees and you're rolling to San Francisco
and it's 55 and you're wearing sleeves
and it's freezing and the wind's doing weird things.
So that I didn't really enjoy playing in San Francisco
because it was so much different than everywhere else
Yeah, yeah, beautiful park, but yeah tough tough to tough to hit it. Yeah, I'm you tough to hit it
Um alright. I got one last question. It's a row back question
RHOB a CK calm promo code take 20% off your first purchase qzips Polos hoodies joggers shorts
You like this row back comm promo code take?
Got it down. Love that. Yeah, do you ever take you to memorize? Oh, we've been doing it for a long
time. Okay. Long time. Do it in my sleep. It's like double
play with Jimmy Rollins. Do you have your gold card on you? I
don't know. I really want to just see one. It's not as I just
ask every baseball player. I'm convinced that it's not real but
everybody says they agree to say that it's real. I do. Yes.
You do have it. Yes. Never used it. You can
clear. I mean, it's kind of walk. That is really gold. Oh
my God. Look how cool that is. It says the commissioner of
baseball in appreciation of long. This is long and
meritorious service. present this lifetime pass,
Chase Utley and guest.
That's awesome.
You've never used it?
What am I gonna, am I gonna walk up to the guy
that's just hired for that day and say,
hey, here you go.
Yes.
I mean, look at me like, what the hell is this?
This thing is solid.
How many guys do you think don't like have never used it?
I've had 95% of guys.
That's crazy to me.
Did you ask Shane? Yeah, he said he never used it. Can I have 95% of guys. That's crazy to me. Did you ask Shane?
Yeah, he said never used it.
Can I have it then?
Have you asked anybody that says they have used it?
I don't know.
I think most guys that get this card
to have somebody they can call.
If they really want to go to Aaron.
Yeah.
I think maybe Dan Heron, our friend Dan Heron,
has used it like once or twice.
They'll be like- Dan was tough.
Dan was tough.
Funky split finger, he was, yeah.
We're trying to make a case for Dan for the Hall of Fame.
We've been working on this case for a long time.
You?
You?
You'll be a Hall of Famer.
Or you think it's gonna happen?
Wait, Max?
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, he's a Hall of Famer.
Love you, Max.
Love you.
I mean, do you like think about it every year when it comes around? I do now, yeah. Something you. Yeah. I mean, do you like think about it when the,
every year when it comes around?
I do now.
Yeah.
Something I had never thought about before,
but now once your name's part of the conversation,
yeah, it makes you think about it.
Who do we have to disparage for you?
We're down to do that.
Is there a specific person you want us
to just sully their name?
No.
Okay.
No, I mean, that's the beautiful thing about voting, right? Everyone's got their own personal opinion and viewpoint of it and some are here and some are here and
Which I create some pretty cool debates. Here's a little tip
The baseball writers association maybe skews a little older a little more like hey, we're you know, respect the game
I think you got to start using your gold card or maybe give it
to a couple guys that would use it.
It's a great idea. Yeah, two guys that compile like a mailing
list. Yeah, you love the game. If there's two guys that love
going to baseball games, just like obsessed with, you know,
having fun going to a day game, drinking some beers, doing the
5050 raffle. If you know two guys like that, I think you've
you gave them your card, you'd have a pretty good chance.
I feel like it's a good idea. Do you guys go to many Cubs games?
Yeah, I have season tickets. Wrigley's pretty incredible.
Don't go to a lot of White Sox games. But yeah, White Sox Stadium has better food than
Wrigley.
Do they?
It's a fact.
Really good food.
Yeah, that's what they spend their money on.
Have you talked to Ricketts yet about it? He's got to sign Kyle Tucker. That's what
we got to worry about. We don't care about the food. He can feed me cardboard if he signs
Kyle Tucker. I don't care. I don't care. Yeah. He's very, very good. Is there a specific
guy, last last question that you love watching like a guy that you're like that guy? I mean,
Kyle Tucker is a great hitter. Yeah. Good. I mean it's fun to watch Aaron Judge because you never know you can hit
it up to the moon anywhere on the field. I mean I follow mostly the Phillies and
Dodgers the two teams I played for. Schwabers fun to watch. Yeah, the best.
Shoaib Otani just flicks stuff over the fence and makes it look too easy.
Um, Freddie Freeman's the ultimate professional hitter.
Like there's not, I don't think there's a more professional hitter
than Freddie Freeman currently.
What does that mean?
Just, he doesn't get off his game plan.
His game plan is to shoot a ball to left center.
And if it's in, he'll pull it, but his whole focus is to hit it to left center.
And it's pretty impressive. He doesn't get off it ever, which is hard to do. You tell yourself as a hitter, like, but his whole focus is he hit it to left center. And it's pretty impressive.
He doesn't get off it ever, which is hard to do.
You tell yourself as a hitter, like, all right, this is my game plan for the day.
But there are times, certain times where like you'll get out of that.
And I don't think he ever gets out of that.
Yeah.
So your game plan for the day was, it would vary depending on who you're hitting against?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I think a lot of times nowadays, especially like the game plan is hit a home run or strike
out, right?
I don't know it's that but listen, I think pitching today is harder to hit than it was
10 years ago.
Yeah, I think guys are just more velocity, more tougher spin.
It's just I think it's just a fact.
I think the hitters are now starting to catch up to it because now they've seen it for a
number of years.
But I think it's hit, it's challenging to hit. So it's hard
to put a game plan together that their control isn't quite, I don't think the same as it
used to be, but they're also throwing a lot harder. So I think that can make up for it.
But it's still fun to watch. There's some talent, super talented players at the big
league level. But Shoa Yotani is fun to watch as is Freddie Freeman and Kyle Tucker and Kyle Tucker and my boy Justin Turner
Yeah, Justin Turner. Yeah. Yeah on the show. Yeah, he is not we need to get him on
He's a fake nuts thing was pretty funny. You see that I did see that. Yeah, that was pretty funny
Yeah, were they fake? I they were I for a second. I was like are those real and then I was like those are really skinny nuts
That would not be great. They weren't truck nuts.
They were too small to be tried.
There might've been like bicycle nuts
that you can put on the back of your coffee.
I suggest you guys, there's a,
the par three, the 12th hole par three
where the boat, the million dollar boat,
I don't know if it's a million dollars or boat,
whatever it is, you guys should set up shop there.
Yeah.
Guys cruise in and do like a three minute interview because it it usually backs up. Yeah. Like that. Okay.
It's a good idea. Great interested. Yeah, I have a few
more questions. The small details is that's really what
separates the great from the good. Yeah, right. That's why
you should be in the Hall of Fame. Nobody else had that type
of discipline to love it solves the same meal every day.
Plastic knife, whatever butter knife. Okay, but you would would
you would you prefer a real knife? No, no, no, no, but a
knife. Perfectly fine fine sitting down or standing up
Depending on good question both both you and mix that up
There are times where I was kind of on the move so I didn't sit down plate or paper towel
Again both both. Yeah. Yeah, would you ever make one for someone else?
No, I've suggested it for others, but no and they would never take you up. No. Yeah. Yeah. There was a there was a fad for point in time where you had everyone we were ripping through peanut butter and like when you guys were winning the World Series, everyone was eating peanut butter. Yeah. Yeah. Was there any? Did you play with anyone who ever had a peanut butter allergy? Nothing I'm aware of. Okay. No, that would be bad. Yeah, that would have been. Would it have? Would you have stopped? It depends how severe. Okay. That's a good answer. And how good they were.
True. Like if they're end of the bench guy, it's like, come on, man,
you can get your EpiPen chase has to have his peanut butter and jelly.
Did you ever have a one during a game? Yes. Oh, plenty.
So you would, you would just like sneak off.
I mean, listen, you're going to St. Louis in the middle of summer and it's 97 degrees
with 98% humidity and you can't, you're dying.
So you're just sweating, you're dying
and you need some energy and that was my go-to
to get some type of energy.
So yeah, I would have them during the middle of the game.
Would you post game it?
No. Never. Never.
Just business?
No.
Yeah.
Do you ever, would you ever go with Uncrustables?
Do you know what those are?
I know what those are. Okay. Had them. I don't think I had any during. Okay. You like the
crust you said earlier. I do. I do enjoy the crust. Yeah. There's something about the process
of making it too. You never had anyone else make it? Never. Wow. No. Look at this. I think
that's all the peanut butter and weird shit. Huh? huh? Yeah. Yeah, I don't think I have any.
Did you like the peanut butter that you had to stir around?
Yeah.
The one where the oil's so great.
No, hate that.
You would obviously do peanut butter on one side
and jelly on the other and then put them together.
You would-
No, sometimes I mix it.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Then would you put the, you always put peanut butter.
Well, then you're done with the thing
and you're just throwing it in the tray.
But what if you didn't get enough jelly
and then you go on the peanut butter side,
then you dip back in, now you got peanut butter in the jelly?
Fair.
No, it, mm.
That happened.
Good question.
I can tell that happened.
It has happened.
Yeah, that's, you're savage.
All right, Chase Utley, thank you, man.
No, guys, my pleasure.
Thanks for having me on.
Appreciate it.
The man. No, guys, my pleasure. Thanks for having me on. Yeah. Appreciate it.
The man.
That was fun.
Chase Utley was brought to you by Nobody 2.
A couple years ago, you remember Bob Odenkirk.
He showed up out of nowhere as an action star in Nobody.
Great film.
That movie was a ton of fun.
Now he's back in the sequel, Nobody 2, hitting theaters on August 15th.
Bob returns as Hutch.
This time he tries to go on vacation with his family, only for all hell to break loose.
It's a real delight to see a guy like Odenkirk kick some serious ass.
Nobody 2 is produced by 87 North, that's the same team behind hits like John Wick, Bullet
Train, The Fall Guy.

Oh this is a show
I would like to relive the Sopranos spoiler

Was it Ralphie? No
Richie April in the kitchen. Yeah
Breaking bad cuz I watched season 5 only
What what about this show?
Bill Walton Bill Walton. I would like to meet Bill Walton again for the first time. Piss dogs. Max in his overalls. I still, that's still like maybe once a month I'll think about that.
Yeah. And I'm just screaming. I look ridiculous!
This could be such a bad night for me and you guys just want it to be so much worse.
Please! I look at me right now! Look at what I'm doing for you!
I look ridiculous!
He's right, he's right daddy.
I think you're doing it for us though.
Yes, I mean, it's not fucking working!
Everything you tell me to do doesn't work!
For my fucking ass! Those are two different things.
Those are two different things.
Max's reveal of the soul patch.
I saw the soul patch reveal.
Somebody posted a clip of it the other day and I laughed out loud for like 10 seconds.
It's so good.
Pissed Dog's a good one, too.
That one back. That's a good question, though.
It wasn't it was a little more heated, contentious at the time, but but.
Now, I wouldn't say it.
Now, I won't say it. Say it.
Say it, Hank. No, that's all right.
You have to say it. Yes.
It. Billy, the podcast one, when Billy after Billy was falling asleep was or when
he was falling asleep was was like that was it was very funny. That was a funny moment.
Very heated. When he fell asleep on the podcast after watching. No watching him fall asleep.
Oh yes. Yeah. Yes. That was entertaining clients. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Was so bad. So yeah. Yeah. Also when he stepped to PFT that was funny. Yeah, there's more the hot sauce
Yeah, I think that was the hot sauce the hot sauce was the best thing
and if I could if I could relive and just I wish maybe the the
the most heated
Argument that almost broke up the show that I thought was so funny the whole time and I was just like kind of like

Like the Taylor Swift one, but that was never actually I never was like it was a joke Dave was joking about it But it was not never anything more than a joke. Yeah, I
Don't think I thought they was gonna fire me when I push box Bosco at oh, yeah
Also was turned into a nothing. Yeah, it couldn't have been more of a no so nervous
Yeah, that was great because it gave Dave a great opportunity
to show Bosco, like, hey, I'm on your side.
Like, bring him in for like a pat on the head.
Like, I got your back, Bosco.
No, I think the word for word was,
I would have been mad if you pushed on one,
but it was Bosco, so I don't care.

Yeah, I don't think there's, I mean, besides the time we yeah, yeah, I don't think there's I mean besides the time we actually got cancelled I
Don't think so. Oh, yeah, the thought really hasn't crossed my mind. No
Hey big cat PFT happy that your tongue survived another year of staying out of each other's butts
Will we ever see any more specific PMT 24-hour streams?
Mmm, how much work goes and be able to pull that off for guys on camera, those behind the scenes?
One of my favorite memories was you guys playing N64 during the middle of the night and would love to see more of the random content like that.
Love your show. Thanks for the putting smiles on everyone's face.
That was in the place of grit week, I believe.
It was.
During COVID when we couldn't get out of the training camp.
That's correct.
So we had a grit stream, which was a 24 hour one. Occasionally we pop up on Barstool after dark Yeah, take place and take part in their like little locked in hell stream challenges the acts doing a 12-hour stream soon
another dig
Yeah, barstool after dark is probably where but you guys did one yeah max yeah, what do we do?
Yeah, we did 24. I think I think I got a 22 or something. Yeah max hit Blake in the head with a hockey stick
That was yep. That was max. We could do one we do a part of my take sleepover if we got
correct sponsorships
How long was the darts?
darts was
That was a long one wait how long how long was the stand-up
Stand-up was an hour. Oh felt like five days
Crushed pay-per-views
People love to stand up
Beforehand really easy to follow warmed up crowd like that.. No one's ever been worse at stand up the memes
I learned a one man show wasn't stand up. It was a one man show
That was it that was high art a textbook case of procrastination with memes is just like I'll figure it out later
I'll figure out later until it was the day of the show and he had like two hours left
He's like I think I got to figure it out. If you didn't like memes stand up. You just didn't understand it
Yeah, you didn't understand it it was a one-man show
The punisher was one-man show Hank and then it was so and then it was just like oh comedy show your opening. Yeah
Okay, is that it?
One more one more
Oh, I like this if you had to build an NFL team slash skill position roster at a PMT guest no professional athletes
What who would make that list?
Okay, I think somebody asked us this about the NBA a starting five at one point. I
Think okay. So a tight end
Maybe John Taffer at guard John Tau. No, he said skill position. Oh skill position. We're still a tight end
Who we had that's fast at guard. John 10. Oh no, he said skill position. Oh, skill position. We're still a tight end.
Who have we had that's fast? That is fast. Jerry O'Connell played quarterback in true push. Yeah, we'll put, we'll put JLC at quarterback. Um,
this is tough. Maybe Rebecca remain somewhere.
Yep.
Coaches, but no, no.
Maybe tight end for her.
What?
Owen Wilson, Owen Wilson.
Whoa.
What just happened?
What just happened to you?
Mark Walberg at running back. Yeah, We're running back. That'd be good. I don't know who the wide receivers would be. We need
wide receivers. We need fast guys. Pablo Torre. Wait, wouldn't Walberg, any Moss, we have
any Moss. Oh yeah. Ready? Moss and receiver. I feel like Walberg at receiver. Wasn't that
his position? Yeah. Yeah. He could be slot receiver. Yeah. Randy position in the yeah yeah he could be slot receiver mm-hmm yeah Randy Moss on the outside
Wendy
Wendy is a run fullback mm-hmm love that
Josh Duhamel
Josh Duhamel he was a quarterback right yeah, he could be the quarterback he'll be starting quarterback Jerry can back him up
He could be the backup for sure
Trying to think who else we've had that's I mean we could no professional athletes no professional athletes
I mean we could just do like like
Kane and Undertaker that's it their athletes their professional athletes
Sorry, sorry their professional athletes my bad Jimmy Tatro
Just vibes guy you could be like a slot. He's a receiver. Yeah for sure for sure sure for sure stave
Oh, Stavi fullback would be good somewhere
We could shoot in Gillis could be in there
Fouchie at running Jack naming all of our guys that don't play sports that we've had on chain played sports. Yeah, no, I'm saying
Yeah, he was. Oh, yeah. No, I'm literally just going down the list of just non professional. Yeah, it's just more linemen though
They'd be keep we yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's just more lineman though that we keep we yeah
Yeah, not a lot of skill position is I think Jimmy could be a
Good slot Randy Moss take the top off. Yeah
for sure
Jimmy would have to be a receiver. Yeah
Okay, Joe chestnut count. Yeah
Does he count?
Joe chestnut count yeah
Does he count as a professional?
Yeah, that's that he has great athlete. He counts as a professional athlete. Yes got it major league eater got it. Yes
Got it come on Hank. Just just double-check Hank
Matt Damon Casey Affleck
Adam silver could probably snag some
Yeah, he could maybe hear the plays from the sideline. If we lose our headsets. Yeah, I don't think the commissioners have any place in the starting lineup. Yeah.
Florio. Florio could just be, he could just sue the other team to death. What about coaches
that weren't professional athletes? Missoula would be a stud. Yeah, Missoula would be great
Yeah, we'd suck yeah
