Today is Friday, June 28th, and PFT, I have a question for you.

What do you need, what do you need when you have a team with two ball dominant players that hate everyone and are bad teammates? You need a third ball dominant player that's more ball dominant than the other two and make everybody hate everybody. Yes, that is what the Houston Rockets are going for. Jimmy Butler to the Houston Rockets needs to happen. I don't even understand why this is a thing, but I'm all for it because I want to see if Chris Paul, James Harden, and Jimmy Butler can all in one single game dribble out the

shot clock in different possessions. I think they can, I think they can absolutely do it. And Jimmy Butler is the kind of guy that he would really let us spark in that team. So say what you want about Jimmy Butler, but you will never accuse him of being fake nice to teammates and building up all this little under the surface, all the passive aggressive stuff. That's never going to happen with J-butt because old J-butt's going to come in like a stick of dynamite, not like a needle under your skin.

So if you look at what the Houston Rockets, what they've done the last five, six years, they've just had like death by a thousand passive aggressive note paper cuts that are left behind to each other. Jimmy Butler gets in and he just blows everything up. I think that's way more entertaining and frankly more healthy. And on top of all of that, I love that Daryl Maury, he sees the writing on the wall. They have a new owner who is probably very impatient. He's a restaurateur who I'm sure has fired many people in his past.

Those guys don't seem like the most patient guys in the world. He also came in after Chris Paul was signed. So he's like, I don't want to pay this guy who's however old he is, $40 million plus for the next three years. So he's looking at Daryl Maury and he says, I need some answers and Daryl Maury says, I'm probably going to get fired or quit in the next year or two. So I might as well just say, fuck it, go all in, add a piece that doesn't really make sense, but might make sense, get my big three because it's all about the big threes and see if it

works and what's the worst that can happen for Daryl Maury. He quits or he gets fired and he gets another job instantly because he's one of the best GMs in basketball. So I like this. It's almost like he's playing with house money at this point. And Jimmy Butler, J-Butt is the ultimate house money move. I like that. And I especially like the idea of Daryl Maury getting fired and having no other options

except to go to the Wizards. So that's what I'm really going to hope for. I'm sure that'll happen. But yeah, you're right. I think especially if you look at what restaurant tours are like, we know one very well. John Taffer and John Taffer is not a spreadsheet guy. No, he's a, I'm going to look you in the eyes kind of guy, the only Excel I need, the only cells I need are the ones that are in your pupils so that I can stare at them and figure

out if you're a man or not. So I agree that this guy is probably not going to be married with Daryl Maury for very long. And there's really only one solution to the problem and that's get Chris Paul to the Lakers. He also did the classic move that when an owner holds a press conference after a game, that is just a huge sign that that owner is going to fire everyone soon because Jerry Jones does it. Whenever you see an owner get in front of you, when you get that owner in the tunnel doing an interview, an impromptu interview, that usually means the guy's not super patient.

So I'm excited for that. We also have Anthony Davis saying no thanks to $4 million so that the Lakers can get all the free agents. They also just made a trade to clear more cap space. So it looks like Rob Polinka's little mistake has been corrected. I think they have $32 million, $32 million in cap space now. So again, Hank, I told you this, the minute that Clay Thompson tore his ACL, you told me to chill.

The Lakers are going to win the title. Chill. Okay. All right. I'll chill. I'll keep chilling. I will stay here, keep chilling. But this is the point.

You sound pretty calm. This is a point of the off season where football, there's no news. We're waiting for MLB All-Star break. Basically all we can talk about is the NBA free agency, which is coming up on Sunday, which we will have a big show for. I'm also looking right now. PMT Sports Biz Jake is showing me a tweet, says Yahoo Sources, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, gifting new teammate Anthony Davis, his number 23 jersey for the upcoming

season. Wow. What a beta move. Wow. So many guy. He should take Kobe's eight or Kobe's 24 or both Roman home and away. That would be nice. Our 248.

That works. Just put it up to triple digits. I think that means that this is a double on his shirt. It's Anthony Davis's team though. That's true. He's the alpha. I think it does. If we're talking Batman and Robin, the Batman definitely wears number 23.

This is also, I'm pretty sure it's a salary cap violation because you're usually supposed to pay money. Wait. To the veteran player to get his jersey. Am I right? He did. He paid the most amount of money possible. He paid $4 million.

He said, Anthony Davis, make sure that you don't take this free $4 million and I will give you number 23 because Anthony Davis basically did that with his contract today. So it is now when the question comes up, who has paid the most? It's not some random like, oh yeah, Carson Palmer once paid, I don't know, Charlie Whitehurst. These are made up names because they were played together. You know, $10,000 and a Chevy truck. No, it is LeBron James paid Anthony Davis $4 million so that Anthony Davis would basically, he gets number 23 and he walks away from the $4 million so they have cap space.

Interesting. Very, very interesting. Now I got to be honest with you. Wait. Does that work in my head? Am I doing that incorrectly? Anthony Davis walked. Oh yeah.

Yeah. $4 million. Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm not a numbers guy per se and I know that you're a little bit worried about this whole Lakers situation even though, well, you're so not worried that you're worried at this point.

I am really looking forward to the Lakers becoming a championship team next year just to watch Kobe Bryant's reaction to LeBron James winning titles as a Laker. And then we get the whole conversation. If the Lakers win two, then it's like, well, who's the greatest Laker of this century? Is it Kobe Bryant or is it LeBron James? And I'm very much looking forward to Kobe Bryant trying to handle that with dignity in class. Yeah.

And then Shaq will chime in and Charles Bark who will make fun of him and then Shaq will get his feelings hurt and it will be great TV there too. And then Rick Fox will just say, well, it's Robert Ory. Yeah. It's Robert Ory. The other news we had Hank Kemble Walker to the Celtics looks almost like a foregone conclusion. But this is this league we're talking about here. This is this league.

Sunday Sunday will be exciting though. I'm happy that although I will say that it's like it does sound better that the when it starts on July 1st, like it's it just makes more sense. Like everything happening in June 30th just sounds kind of weird. But I'm much happier that's happening on Sunday than Monday. Like Sunday will be exciting. Yes. Sunday will be exciting.

And I do love every team gets put in this spot. Every team who actually is trying to get free agents in competing. Their fans get put in this spot where they have to do the mental gymnastics on ranking players that they previously ranked differently. So like Kemble Walker is now all of a sudden better than Kyrie Irving. Oh, yeah. D'Angelo Russell. Wow.

He's amazing. The Lakers definitely want him back. All Lakers fans saying, yeah, he's he's the best. We need him. He just needed to change a scenery. So those mental gymnastics, I always love watching and I do it myself all the time. You have to do it as a fan to try to talk yourself into a new signing. Oh, definitely.

And it's real big when you start to talk about, well, when that guy came out in the draft, I actually had him hire as a senior come out of college. So like when Kemble was just getting drafted by the Hornets, I actually thought that he should have gone higher than he did. I was higher than than everybody else that I knew. So you can talk yourself into anybody. I've heard through sources related to my dog, two things, I had two scoops about Kemble that haven't been previously reported, but Leroy gave me the go ahead.

I heard that Charlotte is not offering him a max and that he feels disrespected. He feels disrespected by that. So I got this DM last night. So I don't know if it's been reported yet, but that's the entire reason why Kemble Walker is going to go to the Celtics. You're reporting the news, wait, wait, no, okay. So I'm setting that up because I got a plot twist. New scoop that came in.

He's using this as a bargaining chip for Charlotte. He wants to stay in Charlotte. He just wants to get a little bit more money. So he's letting all this leak out there. Okay. That's just common sense. I'm hearing that Kemble Walker is both trying to leverage for more money going to the Celtics. I'm hearing officially per sources that he is considering the Celtics as well as the Hornets

for his two next destinations. And a lot of his decision has to do with who's going to pay him more money. Okay. So that's breaking news right there. Anything else to the NBA? I mean, Sunday is going to Sunday is going to be awesome. By the way, what number do you think LeBron will wear? I don't know.

I have no idea. I mean, it would be funny if you tried to go either 24. I probably do like a 99 or something. It will just, yeah, something weird like that. Oh yeah, six. He wore six with Team USA. So that would make sense. And the heat.

Yeah. And the heat. He'll do six. So that's not even, that's not even a big change for him because he was six with the heat. You're right, Hank. So this was Anthony Davis paying $4 million for the number 23 dude, you didn't have to pay that money.

LeBron probably would have done it anyway. He got that Space Jam money too though. Yeah. He's got the $10 million from Space Jam reportedly that I just made up right now. I could also see him rocking number three, just like father of three. Just making sure that everybody knew that he's doing this year for the kids. World of Wade. He steals his number.

Yeah. Yeah. But then he makes it, but then he spins zones it into like a tribute to his favorite teammate of all time, but just really making it about himself, taking over the number three. That would be great because then Dwayne Wade's retirement tour would actually go another year. So we need that as well. Yeah. And then you need to pass it along every year.

Somebody wears the three jersey that's taking an extended trip around the country, getting weird gifts. Okay. So Sunday night we have the NBA free agency, Bonanza. We also have a future Hall of Famer on the show. This guest will surprise you. All fame interview. Hall of Fame interviews, future Hall of Famer.

Yep. Debatable. People like to debate whether he's going to be a Hall of Famer, but he definitely will be a Hall of Famer. So think about that for a second. He was a subject in years past of free agency. He was a big, a big subject. A big time subject.

Yeah. Big time subject. Maybe subject with the Lakers. Who knows? You can watch that interview on barstoolgold.com slash PMT, barstoolgold.com slash PMT. You can watch all of our shows, all of our interviews if you sign up today. Let's do our Mount Rushmore and then we'll get to Firefest. PFT, you had a question.

I do have a question. Is this guest that is going to be joining us for the NBA show, is he the richest guest in the history of part of my take? No, we had Michael Rubin on. And Scott Borus. And Scott Borus. You think Scott Borus has more money than him? Maybe not, but Michael Rubin definitely.

It's probably worth more. Yeah, Michael Rubin definitely does. Yeah. Okay. Second richest guest in the history part of my take, I think. Okay. Maybe Blake Griffin. It's up there.

Blake Griffin. You did the math. Oh, you did. Okay. Blake Griffin also has to spend to maintain the lavish lifestyles and dating Kardashians. We had A-Rod on. So A-Rod definitely has more money. What did you say about Blake Griffin?

Okay. My point was proven completely irrelevant. Okay. He's up there though. Yeah. He's up there. He's up there. He's got, listen, he's made a lot of money.

Let's just leave it at that. Firefest of the week. No, let's do Mount Rushmore first and then we'll do Firefest. So the Mount Rushmore of movies that when you see them on TV, you have to finish them. Who's up first? Me. Hank. Yeah, Hank.

We know. I think it's me. No, it's me. No, it's Hank. And then me. Second and then Big Cat. Yeah. Really?

But I went first. Are you sure? I went first last time. Right. Which means you went third now. And then was it time before I went third? You know what we've done is somehow we've created a new snake draft out of a snake draft. That's the order right there, Jake.

Last week. So Hank, Big Cat, PFT. No, so I shouldn't be third. I should be first. I thought that. I should be first. No, it goes the other way. It goes Hank, then Big Cat, second, then PFT, third.

So I'm second? Yeah. That might make sense. I feel like I'm drunk trying to find a bathroom. This is, yeah, this is terrible. I don't. Fuck. I'm 95% sure I'm first.

What was the order we did it in? When Hank went first, did PFT go second? Clockwise. So yes. I think I went first last time. We're sitting in opposite seats. You know what we should do? I should get to go first twice in a row because I was the last person to go first just like

a snake draft. Wait, so you went first last time on last show or no? Yeah. I'm pretty sure I did. Yeah. All right. So then it should, yeah, then it makes sense. Hank, me, PFT.

Yep. That's what it should go. That's how it goes. Clockwise around the room. Yep. Yes. That makes sense. All right.

My number one, obviously the biggest criteria. I'm not even going to get into it. No. Do it. Get into it. Well, no. I mean, you kind of said it. It's like you got to, there's a lot, like a lot of movies are hard when it goes to commercial

to stay on. Correct. It has to really catch you in and the good ones, even though you've seen them a million times, you have to be committed to just watching commercials. My number one. It's a big pick, Hank. I don't know. Catch me if you can.

Whoa. Okay. Leo and Tom Hanks. That's good. It always catches me like it's just, it's just a great movie. Okay. That's a good pick. I am happy because you didn't take my number one overall that I had written ahead of everything

and that is good fellas. If good fellas is on, I watch it all the way through no matter what. I've never not sat there and watched every scene from good fellas. You know what's weird about that though is I've seen it so many times on TV. I always tune in when he's looking up at the helicopter like falling around. I always just start there. Yep. And you always finish it.

You always finish where he's just coming out of his house in, you know, as a regular schnuck eating ketchup, egg noodles and ketchup in the middle of Nebraska. Good fellas. All right. Arizona. Yeah. You have two. Okay.

For my first two, I'm going to go with Conair. Okay. Number one, just action packed from end to end. Star studded two cages, Alabama accent. I'm Cameron Poe and I'm here to land this plane because my wife, she had babies. That is just a wonderful movie. John Malkovich performance of lifetime. The guy from Forest Gump, Bubba from Forest Gump is in another movie.

So it's always fun to see him doing something else. Love Conair. My second pick is going to be training day. Oh, okay. Come on. Jake. Okay. Jake, you like to get wet.

I'm happy because that means my number two overall pick is still there. I think you would have taken this hank in your next round. Step brothers. Step brothers is so rewatchable. You know what's crazy? When I first saw step brothers, I didn't think it was that good. But now, if you see it on TV, every scene, every like in between commercial breaks holds up on its own and you have to watch the whole thing.

So step brothers is my number two pick. Yep. That's a good one. I actually didn't have that one down. I had a different comedy. But my number two pick, Happy Gilmore. Oh, okay. No, that's like, I probably know that movie the most, like the whole, the entire movie

by heart. You can repeat the lines, but they still, they're still funny. And then my number three, I will go with National Treasure, Nick Cage. Okay. Good. So Nick Cage is getting a lot. It's actually a documentary because all that shit's real. Nick Cage is getting a lot of rewatchables and the movies that you have to watch all

the way through. And I'll go with Nick Cage as well for number three, The Rock. Yep. I mean, come on. You have to watch the whole thing when the rock is on. And that's, that's an old classic PFT. You have two more to finish out your Mount Rushmore. I want to mix this one up a little bit, kind of a comedy situation.

I know you guys picked a step brother. That was a very Trey Wingo decision on your part, Big Cat. I like that. Trey's not a step brother's guy. He's more Anchorman wedding crashers. Step brother. Yeah. It's two, two, three.

Yeah. It's, yeah. Step brothers is too, is too edgy for him. He's, he's not a step brother's guy per se, but he's a big, do you want to do karate in the garage guy? Okay. Yeah. He'll say that one over and over again.

Okay. So for my third one, I'm going to go pitch perfect. Okay. Real classic. Mix it, mix in some music, some songs. Not that pitch perfect to bullshit. Just the number one, the Uno. And then my last movie that I will always watch the end when I see it come on is Heather

Brooke swimsuit and husband study. What? Circa 2002. What? Is that a porn? Heather Brooke. Got it. You did a point.

You did your husband's study. The fourth pick. The, the PSP does an oddball. Circa 2002. Yeah. I got it. Okay. The wild card.

I call it. You're throwing it because you don't want to ever give a hundred percent effort and lose. So what? No, it's a wild card. Okay. All right. My fourth.

Am I wrong? Yeah. It's not on TV, but okay. It's never on TV. All right. Somebody doesn't have Chromecast. It's not on TV, but okay. All right.

My fourth pick here. This is going to be tough. I got a few. Okay. I'm going to go. There's a lot that got left off the list, but I'm going to go with a classic point break. Anytime point breaks on, I got to watch it. Got to watch it all the way through.

And it also feels like Keanu's got to be on here somewhere. Utah. Yeah. Utah gave me two. Gary Busey. All right. Anthony Kitas. Yeah.

Surprisingly good actor. Yes. Yes. Hank, your last pick and then we'll do some honorable mentions. My last pick. There are a lot we left off the list, but I will go with the hometown classic that departed. Okay. That's a good one.

And you mugs got a light. That one's a good one. Okay. Not to give away the ending, but the zoom in on the rat at the end, the rat symbolizes a rat. Nice. That's true. Pizza rat.

A lot of people don't pick up on that nuance. It's the first viral rat. Okay. Ones we missed. There's a lot that we missed. Princess Bride I threw out there. I think that one would date me, but if I watch that, it's on all the time and I'll watch it all the way through.

I saw the other day that I found myself watching all the way through that I think holds up because it's just interesting and it's always kind of appropriate to our time. Social network. I watched the social network all the way through the other day and I was like enthralled the whole time. What else do you guys have? I have a few more, but go ahead. I'll throw it around.

Social network is going to be one that's going to age even better, I think. Right. The more that we learn about Mark Zuckerberg. Exactly. I want to see how this weirdo got started. I had John Wick on there. Okay. Another Tom Hanks movie.

The only problem with Forrest Gump is you know that you're going to cry at the end. That is the one movie that I will always cry in. If you sit down even at the start of it, you're basically making a plan to cry in three hours. That's kind of tough, but it's still a great movie. Then I had Shawshank. That's like the classic one. But it's also really long. Yeah.

That was Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump though, the reason why Forrest Gump works on TV is that they can always pick the right spot to transition into a new chapter of his life to keep you involved in it. You know what I mean? They always find that perfect commercial break. Unusual suspects, speed, roadhouse, throwing out a few more. Wait, do you mean usual suspects?

Usual suspects. Unusual suspects is a different one. That's the porno that you watch. Speed, roadhouse, Big Lebowski. Any of these? Any of these hitting? Bubblegaming, roadhouse. Tommy Boyne's super bad at good ones.

Tommy Boyne. Armageddon. Oh, Armageddon's a great one. My number one, probably number five, that didn't make the list would be Remember the Titans. That's a good one too. One of my oddball ones that I threw on there, Legally Blonde. You don't like Legally Blonde?

I think that's a good movie. It's not bad. And it's rewatchable as fuck. Because it's a very, very good movie and it's appropriate to anyone who's doubted in life and wants to make it. And everyone says, oh, you're just looks like they always say, oh, big cat, you're all you do. Oh, you are just a piece of meat.

You're just a bunch of looks like, no, I can make something out of myself. So yeah, that's why I like it. There you go. Yeah. And Stifler's mom is in it. American Pie. Oh, American Pie. Yeah.

Shit. American Pie. Hangover too. Hangover one. Hangover one's big time rewatchable. Die Hard with a Vengeance. You want to talk about movies that have these like little perfect times that you can cut to break and come back and something new is happening?

Yep. So you go to commercial and you come back and he's got a different bomb. He's trying to figure out how to diffuse. This isn't really a movie, but this is one that I always will just go through the commercials is like the National Geographic, like the National Parks shows where they always go to break with like this baby lamb is going to the creek, but little does he know there's trouble on the way. Like they have great cliffhangers.

You're like, all right, I got I got to see what happens in spring time. These animals come out of out of hibernation and then they show the bear slowly coming out to just wreck shit on everyone. All those Sammons. Fuck you, Sam. And you're about to get eaten. Actually, I love it when the bears right before they hibernate, when they're at their fattest and they can barely even walk for a while.

Yeah. Unit bears. Those are great. We should do at some point in Mount Rushmore of shows, TV shows that we like to watch when we're high with nothing else to do because the planet Earth is got to be right up there. Planet Earth is definitely up there. All right. So we probably left a bunch off.

If you have ones, throw them out there, tweet us your most rewatchable movies on TV that you have to watch all the way through. Really good because I feel like at some point in the next 20 years, we're going to lose this, right? Like cable will be gone and everyone will just have everything on demand. You won't have this. Oh, I always turn on TV and yeah, like I always hit AMC and see Godfather 2 on and I watched the whole way through.

I was going to put Godfather's on there, but they are very long. So it is always that's like a and with the commercial breaks, it's like three and a half hour investment. Yeah. Cord cutters are actually ruining this entire segment that we're doing. Yeah. Okay. Let's do our firefest of the week.

Then we'll get to our interviews with Chris Jericho and Dale Earnhardt Jr. PFT. Why don't you go first? My firefest of the week was not being invited to Blake Griffin's booty party. So I don't know if you saw this headline. Oh yeah. This is actually for all of us. It's a headline for all of us.

So this is going to double as a let's read a headline. It is Blake Griffin and Chandler Parsons booty boat twerk party on a visa yacht. So the article came chock full of pictures. Basically it was seven women on a yacht with Blake and Chandler Parsons just shaking their butts. Yes. And we were nowhere to be found. So I saw the pictures, obviously it looked like a great time.

I just thought the whole time, man, I'd look really awkward up there with the t-shirt on because there's no way I'd take my t-shirt off around Blake Griffin. Also did not see a phone in his hand. Yeah. True. I don't know if this is the time to really be ripping it up Blake. Blake the year is coming up and he's got no phone. Oh, sorry.

I was on it. It's one thing if your excuse is you're playing for Team USA and defending our country's honor. It's another if you're twerking with Chandler Parsons in the south of France or wherever a visa is. Yeah. I actually, I think that that's probably more patriotic than playing for your country in the Olympics is just having a girl with a big butt. Just shake it nearby.

That's as USA as it gets. Yeah. But you got to do it. You really made big butts. It's us in Brazil that made big butts cool. Yeah. But you got to do it in like Lake Tahoe or something or, you know, out, you know, Miami somewhere in America.

You can't give Padre Island. You can't give a visa all these big butts. They got more than enough to, they don't need a surplus of big butts. Yeah. No, that's a good point. Blake just how about you keep it in America? What are the upper peninsula of Michigan? Yeah.

That's basically the the Abiza of the Midwest. Yes. Okay. So Hank, you got a firefest? Oh, yeah. My firefres in general is this segment, like it's kind of hard, you know, I consider myself very lucky. I enjoy my job a lot.

So it's kind of hard. Wow. It's hard coming up with like, you know, firefest was a very traumatic event for a lot of people and that just doesn't happen with me a lot. But since I had to find one, I will go with the fact that we have interviewed Julian Edelman, one of my like people I like the most in this world and twice now and I forgot to take a picture of them two times. Oh, that's tough.

That is tough. Really tough. Although, do you really want to take a picture with Julian Edelman and put yourself up against him? Yeah. Because we the picture he took where he thirst trapped, PFT and I have never looked worse. It's true. And we actually looked fine.

We looked fine, but we've never looked worse. I looked at myself and I was like, you kind of look like a troll with lupus there, PFT. Right. Troll dolls. But it was once I covered up Julian Edelman's face, I was like, that's, that's an average picture for me. Nothing to write home about, but nothing bad. And then I looked at you and I was like, Oh God, big cat.

Wow. Yeah. Maybe, uh, you know, hit the Keto a little bit. But then I covered up Julian's face and I was like, this is a great picture, Dan. Yeah. It was a decent picture of me. And then I looked at it with Julian there and I had this stupid smile on my face like, Hey, hey, bro, act like you've been around a hot dude before.

Chill out. Like basically coming in my pants while I'm standing next to Julian Edelman was embarrassing for all of us. So yeah, Hank, you avoided that bigger fire fest. Uh, all right. I have two firefests. First is, uh, you Darvish signed a six year $126 million contract. He's been on the Cubs for a year and a half and he has zero wins at Wrigley.

I know he was injured all last year, but zero and I'm supposed to be nice to him. He's got, he's sensitive. Be nice to you. Be nice to you. It's, it's getting very hard. Let me just say it's getting very hard to be nice to you. My other fire fest, we lost a legend, Beth Chapman. We passed yesterday.

It was, we talk about celebrity deaths all the time. This one really took the wind out of me. I feel like just yesterday I was watching Beth scream at someone that was zip tie handcuffed in the back of a mini van telling them to get their life together, go with Christ bra. Beth is now with Christ and I'm sure Christ is taking care of her, but either way we lost a legend. I loved Beth. She was the one who always just kind of, she was basically dog's dog.

She would run behind dog and scream at people and she had her own leather gloves and she would, you know, she had baby Lisa who she helped bring along and made her a bounty hunter. So my thoughts and prayers go out to the whole dog family. We lost a good one with Beth Chapman. Yeah. I mean, when you think about it, Jesus is a bounty hunter for souls, right? True. He sees some things going down on earth.

He's got to come down and collect payments past due. So she's in a better place. Uh, I kind of had the wind taken me out, out of me too when I was reading that news because I didn't realize that dog was five foot seven. Really? I kind of actually. He's a little buddy. Yeah.

Maybe I did know that. Um, I think so when I grow my, when my hair gets very long, I look shorter when dog grows his hair. I think you have to reach a point where it's like past your waist almost down to your knees. I guess it makes you look a little bit taller at some point. Yeah. I don't know how long the appropriate, I don't know what the appropriate amount of time is that a dog will be grieving, but let's just say whenever that lapses, talk about an eligible

bachelor. Whew. Come on. It's on. It's on. It is on dog. Dog dick pics getting leaked within probably six weeks. Yeah.

All you ladies out there, your pussy hasn't been paying bail bonds. So he's coming for you. That sounds really aggressive, but dogs pretty hot. So, um, okay, um, I've, I've won last fire fest and, uh, that's just Miami in general. Yes. So I'm down here in Miami. I'm, I'm covering the DNC debates, uh, check out, I'm posting like columns. I interviewed, uh, Tom Perez, the head of the DNC.

I'm interviewing some candidates today. There'll be like some more content coming up from that, um, but it is about 90 degrees outside and it's 90% humidity. Same as we experienced back in, uh, was it 2007 for the all star game? Yep. Socks walking outside of Miami within like a half a block. You're drenched in sweat. I packed a lot of white t-shirts like an idiot.

So I've got three quarters of my nipples sticking out everywhere. You can see everything. It feels awful. It feels awful walking down the street and the whole town is just people trying to pretend that they're not hot. Um, it is, it's terrible. So I, as much as I like Florida and I like hot weather, um, this is too much for me. I feel like I'm, I'm drowning here.

It's suffocating. It's suffocating heat in Miami in the summer. Okay. Before we get to our interview with Chris Jericho, a quick word from our friends at Devour.

He's a wrestler. He's a musician. He's an author. He's an actor. It's Chris Jericho. Let's start there. Did you like overachieve much dude? I'll tell you what.

Anytime that I start thinking I'm overachieving, I get in a van like this and it brings you right back down. That's right. Right back on the line. You realize that. I realize things aren't so great after all. Yeah. You're not an A-lister.

Yeah. I would never like, you know, Tom Cruise would not be sitting in here. He would fit though. Exactly. I wish I was Tom Cruise. I'd be a lot more comfortable right now. I noticed that big cat left out podcaster. Oh yeah.

Oh wow. I don't want to tell him that. Yeah. I think that was kind of a Freudian. Yeah. We're negating you. He did that on purpose. Yes.

You're right. That's fine. I was just going to say out of all these things that you've done, what's the most fulfilling? That's a pretty generic question. You're going to ask me that in the back of a van like this. Ask me some pomp and circumstance of a question. Have you ever worked yourself into a shoot and also what does that mean? I'm not really too sure.

You know more about the rest of the vernacular than I have. You know, it's funny to me when you have, I don't know, 10,000 interviews that you do and people go, so tell me what's your motivations with your existence. Like man, like how about say like, what's your favorite type of pudding? Oh, let's go. Tapioca. I was. I was just talking about, is that the proper pronunciation?

Tapioca. What do you say? Tapioca. Tapioca? You made that up. But I'm from Canada. Yeah, right. So tapioca is how we pronounce it with the soft P.

Yeah. Like you have to take a fist. Is there such a thing as a soft P? I had to get a new puppy the other day and he took a fist. Yeah. All over the fad wagon. Pistachio is pretty good. Okay.

Let's go back to tapioca. So I was talking about. Very nice. Good. Play along. So I was talking about tapioca. Just earlier today. Really?

How often do you get a chance to talk about tapioca pudding? I can't keep saying tapioca. Literally. Literally. It was like 20 minutes ago. That's a Canadian thing where everyone just says the wrong thing and they're like, oh no, that's what it is. No, that is not what the word is.

What's the word? Tapioca. It's got a P in it. I would like a lifeline if this was who wants to be a millionaire. Yeah. I would call that lifeline right now. Okay. Do you say foutine or poutine?

There's a thing. Okay. Yeah. Hold on. That's just eating gross like cheese. No. No. I stay in a poutine.

Hold on a second. Yeah. The generic categorization of saying you're Canadian almost like poutine. Let me tell you this. Hockey. Wilson. That's fine. That's all good.

But I left Canada in 1997. Can I talk? Yeah. I've never heard of poutine. What? Now suddenly everybody's Mr. Poutine, this is poutine, this and the other thing. Poutine is not the national food of Canada. I have never had poutine before.

Okay. Norva had poutine. They call me Rick Poutine. Oh, I just, I just cream myself whenever I see it. 15 seconds. Wow. Yeah. You cream in the poutine?

Yeah. Hello. That's what the sauce is. So I was going to, I was going to ask you the question about the famous time when a kid went up to you outside of Madison Square Garden and asked for an autograph and you didn't give it to him because you were being a heel. And then I was going to be like, but why are you being nice to us? But you are being nice to us, you're still being a heel.

So this is what you're doing. You're just a heel all the time. Well, no, I'm not really heel all the time, but just like I said, when you're sitting back here, it's a scrunch between two pieces of man meat like you said, it's a little bit of a different vibe. Thank you. You know what I mean? But it wasn't an autograph.

It was a, so when you work in Madison Square Garden, the Mecca, you have to park across the street. Okay. So when I worked at the garden, I pulled up at the back door and the guy is looking at me like I'm insane. He's like, you know, I'm like, I'm Chris Jericho. I'm resting here tonight. I was like, man, I said, well, can I park?

And I was like, Mick Jagger doesn't even fucking park again, go across the street. So all the fans know that you have to park across the street. So there'll be like hundreds of people waiting for you to get out of your car and take the elevator up. My thing is when you're, when you're a bad guy, a heel, you, of course, obviously just the character you play, but when you're on site at the arena, you have to play the character. Yeah. You have to because if you don't, if you're nice to everybody and then an hour later

when you're in the ring and trying to get people to boo you, people like, oh, I'm not going to boo. He's really, actually really nice. Yeah. He signed my, he signed my T-shirt. Exactly. So I got on the elevator and this kid and his father got in the elevator too. And we're about eight floors down because that's the front of the parking garages or

parkade, if you're Canadian, or, or Farcade, if you fly along at home, as we were saying today. So I got on the thing and I hit, you know, the elevator hit floor one and it's eight and it's seven. It goes, hey, my son's a big fan. Can you sign something for him? And I just kept staring. I remember just like, eight, seven, six, hey, hey, hey, can you sign for my, for my, for

my kid here? And I'm like, well, you're not going to acknowledge me? Now we're like five, four seconds. What do you think? Yeah. Huh? Three, two, you think you shit those things? You're not going to sign for my kid?

Huh? I'm like, if we don't get to one pretty soon, this guy's going to physically assault me. We got to one. I left and all I heard was, hey, Jericho, go fuck this. Yes. But therefore later on in the night, one of the bad guy and people are booing me. He's going to be even more vociferous with his booing and he's going to tell, yeah, this guy's a real son of a bitch.

He wouldn't sign for my kid. He wouldn't boo boo boo. That's the commitment that you should play when you're doing this kind of live theater that we do. Yes. You're a little part of you that's like, man, I really don't feel good about being addicted to it. It is.

And I don't know if I could do that now. At the time it was where I was at. Like I could really was dropping into things. Like acting classes and just really getting into it. But I think, you know, like I said, I think at that point in time, you can do that when you get older and you have kids and you kind of feel differently, you know, you play the part of maybe a little bit differently than you would at that point in time. Did Vince love that?

I mean, he must have loved that. He did. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of different things. There was another time when I was in the O2 arena in London and they had these glow sticks for DX. They were like these rebels and they had suck it and they had like glow sticks. Like you would have it a rave and people would make Xs out of them and they were two for

10 pounds, two for 10 pounds, mate, or 10 pounds if you're playing at home. And somehow someone threw one at me in the ring. I actually just watched the video the day I'm talking some shit about England and blah, blah, blah, and England sucks and you got bad teeth or whatever I said. And right in the middle of it, I get whacked right in the eye with one of these things. And when you see the video, it comes like, and I was so mad. I was like, you know, I'd like to see the son of a bitch that threw that. You want to throw something at me?

Throw something at me? And it's like an avalanche, a snow storm of these glow sticks. Oh, fucking a fish concert. Yeah, exactly. And I'm like hitting them away with my hands like a Jedi. And me, one thing, these things cost like 10 pounds and they're throwing like 50 of them and they didn't know what to do. They just started John Cena's music to stop them.

But that's once again, like when things go a little bit too far over the line. But if you're a good heel, someone like Vince would appreciate that the rest of the company was really mad at me, but he was like, you know, this is just part of getting. This is awesome. Yeah. Those are the moments that people remember when you get booed to the point where everyone's like actually angry at you. Well, that's the some guys got his.

Yeah, it's going. It's like. Yeah. Cheech and Chong. Yeah. But it was like, you know, I think when you when you have a show, like we said, it's like a live morality play, which is what wrestling is like a Shakespearean morality play. If you want to get philosophical about it, you have to have a good bad guy and a good

good guy needs a good bad guy. And it gets harder and harder to play bad guy now because it's a lot easier to get people to hate you than it is to get them to like you. Oh, good point. But once they start hating you, that's when they start really liking you. Yeah. You know, if you think of all the best characters from Darth Vader to Hannibal Lecter to the Joker, every time you first see them, the Terminator, you're super scared of them.

And then by the sequel, they're always good guys. Right. Right. That's the secret of wrestling. How do you get to that line of making people hate you, but having them to continue to hate you? Right. So you say it's easier to turn face than it is to turn heel.

No, I'm not saying that. Well, I'm saying when you first appear on the scene, it's a lot easier to be abrasive and be kind of a dick so people will hate you. But then if you have a good enough character, they'll always like you. So I wouldn't say it's easy to turn face, but it's a lot easier for people to dislike you from the start. So when you started, you were jack action. Well, that's that's the worst name ever.

Well, it is the worst. I did. Yeah. That's very Canadian. It's from a watch action. It's from a Wasp album. Okay. It was band Wasp.

Pedestal. Jack action. Look in fall. Look in fall. Jack action. And I thought, well, that's really cool. So before my first match, I was writing Jack action with a N that would turn into a star like Paul Stanley's design.

She even Lamer. Yeah. On like this, like a binder that I had as a binder and the guy that I was trying to train with, uh, he looked at me and he's like, what is that? Jack action? Is that going to be your name? I'm like, God, he goes, that's, that's the worst name I've ever heard. I'm like, it's not going to be my name.

Stupid. Yeah, of course. Of course. Whatever. Yeah. Canadian James Bond. Yeah. Well, that's a thing.

It's a joke. It's blended with plenty of syrup. Not stirred. Jack action. I like overtime hockey. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.

It also serves as some kind of a master basin machine or something. Yeah. Well, you're dicking here. It's like this. Yeah. Velvet rope in Century City. Um, so I just decided that that wasn't going to work and, um, there happened to be a cassette tape of this German power metal band called Halloween and they had an album called The

Walls of Jericho and I thought, well, Jack action's out the window. So how about Chris Jericho? It's genius. I say. And here we are almost 30 years. Love it. It's fascinating. Love it.

I don't know if fastening is the word. Yeah. No, it's fascinating. Are you doing the heel thing again? No. It is interesting that you got the name, you got your first two names from two separate heavy metal bands. Yeah.

Yeah. That kind of shows where my head is at. Yeah. You're a big metal guy. You grew up as a musician? I always relate everything to rock and roll. Yeah. I mean, I've been playing in bands since I was 13.

And, um, when I was a kid, pretty early on, I decided that I wanted to be in a rock band and I wanted to be a wrestler and didn't worry when people want, they're crazy. I'll never do those things. I never saw any reason why you couldn't do those things. And here we are once again, I felt just, um, I don't really know why people are so concerned about what I wanted to do. I just focused on it myself and made it happen and it kind of, uh, it worked out. Are you a sportsman other than hockey?

Uh, that's a no. Okay. So like, I'm trying to think of any other sport. I mean, I like some NFL stuff. Okay. Football stuff's kind of fun. So when teams or players get in the zone, it usually happens in basketball when they can't miss.

Were you in the zone the night that you beat Stone Cold and the rock? No. I mean, that's just show business, right? Um, yeah, no, I mean, I'm probably much more, no, I'm not, I'm not no ending you. I understand the concept of an interview. I'm getting to the point here. Okay. All right.

Um, I think when, when that took place, so you almost missed out on this whole brilliant story I'm about to tell you as you're reaching for your ball, well, that's because my producer just gave me a look. Oh, what's the look mean? We got to wrap it up. No, no, no. I mean, I wrote, did Ned Stark steal your haircut or is it the other way around? Oh, very funny.

That was the note I got. Did you steal Horschach's look or did he steal it? Oh, damn. All right. Let's do the story. I'm sorry. I apologize. What's the question?

The Rock in Stone Cold. The night you beat the Rock in Stone Cold. No, I mean, that was fine. Um, it was fun. I mean, it's great. Obviously it's a great honor, but I don't know if I was really ready for that at the time. So it was cool, but it always looked back on it going like, oh, it's just the, the pinnacle

of your career. It's really not to me. There's been other ones like having the match with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania, which was the best match on the show. The match I had at the Tokyo Dome last year against Kenny Omega, which was voted match of the year to do that in the Tokyo Dome for the first time ever working there. The match we're going to have this Saturday for the first all the wrestling show, double or nothing versus Kenny Omega for the rematch.

I think it's something that's very important because it's the first show in AEW's history with the biggest match that we have that's got tons of, uh, of, uh, people are very excited about it. So that's going to be a very important in the zone type of match. Right. Um, so I think sometimes people think certain moments of your career are better than what you think. To me, it doesn't, it's not up to me.

It's whatever the people like the best and whatever they think was the most monumental. But if you ask me, yes, of course, it's great, great thing to be able to brag about that you beat the rock and Steve Austin saying, I've been bragging about it for years on the show, but when you really go back to it, I thought, I thought it was a seven out of a 10. Interesting. Okay. Um, and at the time it was probably the best I can do, but here I am 18 years later and

I know it could be much better. So what would you have done differently that night? You can't say that. It's just the way that you, that you were thinking at the time compared to now, there's nothing I would do differently. It's just when I watch it, I go, that's a seven out of 10. Yeah. Hmm.

You live and you learn and you can look back on everything and that's the same as anything else. You know, you guys watch an interview that you did two years ago and go, we're so much better now just because we have experience in a different mindset. I wish I could have pissed my pants the first time when we had Mark Schlaerath on the podcast. Mark Schlaerath? Yeah. So he used to piss himself in every football game.

I see. I don't even know these guys. And I tried to piss myself and I couldn't do it because I was dehydrated for the night before. I actually peed my pants. I peed my pants the night before. By accident. I got the pop.

You're much more of a professional. Yeah. Exactly. But then I did it later, but it's like I looked back on that one performance. I did that second time. That was a seven out of ten piss. Two for two. Yeah.

Do you want to piss yourself? I have a long day ahead of me, so the answer is no. Dr. Phil's going to be right there in a second. For sure. Yeah. Does that make it easier or harder? Much easier. To piss yourself?

Yeah. I'd say so. Yeah. You let it just go right through. That's actually a good point. When you're wearing a skinny D&D socks. Skinny shirts. Me, nice shirt.

I'm wearing everything. You know, I got to go to Kevin Smith's house later. I can't show up wearing this. Oh, nice brag. You got to tell him we said, yeah, we've got him on the show. Did he piss his pants? No, but we don't know. You already went to his place before you did.

Yeah, exactly. Warmed it up for you, dude. Okay, that's cool. I was actually there three years ago. Oh, fuck. I was there four years ago. Are you doing the heel thing again? No.

Why do you keep saying that? I don't know. I can't tell the whole time. Well, yeah, I have. I've had a comment that I've had in my brain the whole time. Can I just get it out of there? Please get that lonely thought out of there, please. Okay.

I was going to say that's a really nice bandana. My dog has the same one. That's not bad. Yeah, that's pretty good, right? Yeah, it is. It's really cool. I got this guy. He used to wear scarfs all the time.

And then I was watching a Van Halen video the other day from a live performance from what, 1980s. Like, you know, no one wears bandanas. I'm going to start wearing them. Wait and see how many people start wearing bandanas. Because of me. My dog. Yeah.

There we go. Humans and animals. And animals. Yes. Yeah, why not? Yeah. I do like the collar outside of the shirt. Yeah, it's getting a little messy.

I knew I opened myself up to the bandana thing. No one is going to be wearing a loha collar. That's actually a very Canadian move. Well, I'm feeling a little fat. It's actually not. I'm trying to put something over. You're feeling a lot of fat. Yeah.

See, all right, so this is, yeah. I knew I opened myself up. I probably shouldn't have done that, but it was just stuck in my brain. It's fine. It's fine. I mean, I'm very confident in my fashion abilities. We do good cop, bad cop. I think you look great.

Here's a quote from Colin Coward. I want you to respond to this quote. Our friend, Colin Coward, great guy. Really super individual. Is it Colin Coward? Yeah. Cow turd. I thought it was Cowherd.

Yeah, that's true. Cowherd. But is it pronounced Coward? I call him Coward. Is English your second language? Well, Canadian is my first name. What are you talking about, man? Colin Yollabelli.

Yeah. And he says, wrestling fans are pathetic, lonely, booger eaters. Well, I think Colin Coward fans are pathetic, lonely, booger eaters. Perfume. Yeah, there you go. Hell yeah. There's your headline. Hell yeah.

I love when people say stuff like that. Like, I'm going to get mad about it. Like, who gives a shit? Right. Want to pick a nose and eat it? Go for it, man. I don't care. Yeah.

At least. Almost more than once. At least. We actually don't like them. So your podcast. I don't like them either. Yeah, we don't like them. All right.

How do you like the podcast game? Once again, that's a pretty generalized question. Go with it. However, whatever direction you want to go. Here's another way to ask that. So you have a podcast. Yeah. Tell us about it.

Talk about the podcast. Worst thing ever. Okay. So I'll define it a little bit better. You went, you started obviously, you know, coming up in wrestling, a lot of different places. Mexico all over the place, trying to build yourself up to a point where you can be like this big star.

Now you have the ability to control your own media in a situation like the podcast. Okay. Yeah. That was pretty good. That's pretty good. Right. You can go direct to the fan. This way.

You got a podcast talk. It's Jericho. It's really great. I really enjoy it. Who's your favorite guest? Who's your favorite guest? Chris. Well, I'm just trying to plug the podcast.

We're going to cut on this part. I appreciate that. Well, we're going to cut most of this. Especially on my social media. It's going to be me and you guys be photoshopped out. Who's your favorite guest? It's hard. You know, it's funny because I think the best guests are the ones where you just have a

conversation, right? Like those, like to me, that's why I love doing podcasts because I know what it's like to have somebody that sits down with, you know, taking the piss, but with a list of questions and they're so concerned about what the next question is. They're not listening to the answer. Oh, I haven't read any of these questions. I haven't. I couldn't read the words.

I wrote down some words. You wrote down Chris. That's your name, but I think if you're going to, if you're going to have a conversation with somebody, like if we just met up at a bar, like, what's up, dude? And then you just start talking. Yeah. And that's kind of what I think the brilliance of a podcast is, but it's not easy to do that. Sometimes you have to interject yourself as someone's going off the rails.

Sometimes like when I had Mike Tyson on, I think he thought that it was a yes or no question and answer session because that's all he said. And after a while, I just like, all right, I'm just going to start talking. You can listen to me. Iron Mike. When you can really learn how to do that and then get a great guest on top, like for example, like William Shatner, what a great guest. Like because he'll listen to what you're saying, but then also, okay, so I see that you have

a nice sunglasses. Where did you get those sunglasses? What do you think the benefit of sunglasses are? And you're like, then you're talking about sunglasses with William Shatner, like those type of guests are always a lot of fun. I think vanilla ice I had on, he was a blast. I mean, not that those are the two best, but just popping through Chris Tucker, Hulk Hogan, Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Lars Ulrich from Metallica.

Anybody that has a personality that knows that a carry conversation is fun. So when you have those guys like the dudes from Kiss or Lars, are you starstruck a little bit because you grew up as a fan? No, because I know of them now. I mean, when I first met them, I was, but this is pre podcast times, you know, like when I met, I had Tony I only on from Black Sabbath, who's possibly the greatest heavy metal riff writer of all time. I'm not going to freak out when he comes in, but it's pretty cool, but I got a job to do.

You know, I can't be a Mark. You remember that time when you were in Black Sabbath? That was awesome. Like once again, that's just going to kill the interview. So you just got to be cool and run with it and go with it. You know, one of the big goals is Paul McCartney. What if I could get Paul McCartney? He's done a few podcasts.

Chris Hardwick is Adam. Yes. Oh yeah. Yeah. So what would you say to Paul that he'd never, you know, been asked before? And that's what you just have to talk about the most in the Beatles. I mean, you might get that. You just kind of kind of read the situation.

I'm sure I'm sure if you got him in the right zone, you could ask him that. Yeah. If it came up that way. How much did you hate Yoko? Yeah. Are you dead? Oh yeah. That's good.

Why you saying? And I get the scoop. Yeah. And then everyone knows. But I also love, I do a lot of paranormal shows, talking to ghost centers and whoa. All right. Let's do that. I believe the possibility of all those things because I think if you, if you didn't at least

entertain the possibility, it'd be a pretty boring world that we live in. But when you talk to somebody like once I had a flat earth society guy on, now I don't really believe it. But when you're finished talking to this guy for an hour, you walk out of the going, he's got some good points. Yeah. He made sense. Exactly.

I'm going to look at these YouTube links. There aren't any flights from New York to Hong Kong or whatever. Australia. Yeah. Australia. From Australia. Right. Chile.

Yeah. It gives you some food for thought and perspective. And to me, when you have a great guest on that's committed to what he's saying, it always makes for a great show. Yeah. No matter what the topic is. I agree. So those are always a lot of fun.

We're going to have a flat earth on our show. But then the problem, if you have a flat earth on, you like look into that person's background and the other stuff they believe. And they believe just some wild shit that you don't want to put a microphone on. But that's what I mean. You just don't let them go astray. Yeah. Right.

You're going to be in a great society and the flat earth concept. And when you're done, I mean, like I said, you'll be going, this is a great hour of audio. Whether you believe it, whether you think it's total hogwash or whether you think there's some chances to, some merit to what he's saying, it makes for a really entertaining subway ride if you're going home from work. I agree. So have you ever been touched by a ghost? I haven't been touched by a ghost as far as I know.

I've actually, to be honest with you, I just did a show for the travel channel where we went looking for kind of mysterious creatures in the New Orleans swamps and part of it was based around voodoo, which is based around a burial ground where there was some real strange shit going on with spirits. And one of the guys, this ghost hunting crew who I can tell, you know, when you've been in a show, these guys are not liars. They're pretty legit and they're pure hearted people and there's a EKG thing or something. You hit the thing and then if it hits green, there's spiritual activity going on.

The ghostometer. The ghostometer. And that thing, when you pointed it right here on my arm, right there, it was like green. You pointed away nothing. Green. And I'm like, there's no button on this. There's no metal on here. And for whatever reason, something had attached itself to her.

It's holding on to you. Yeah. It's holding on to me. And not only that, I felt weird. Like I felt like I'd just been on a roller coaster and my insides have been kind of shaking up and a little bit nauseous. You got touched by those. Something was going on.

But we were doing this. I had a machete because we were cutting through the swamp and I put the machete in the ground to start talking and talking to these guys. And that's when all the weird stuff started happening. When I took the machete out, it stopped. You got connected to the earth. Yeah, you stabbed their burial ground. Maybe stabbed them.

I don't know. And like I said, dude, I've seen and done it all. I wouldn't be spinning this yarn if I wasn't telling you that it really happened. I believe you. I believe it. It was certainly really, I felt it. Especially in Louisiana. In the swamps.

We were looking for trouble. There's something about Louisiana where you just step into the state's mattress and you're like, this is unusual. Right. But usually in a great way. And this, you know, it made for a great TV, but we were there looking for trouble and we found some. Yeah.

Now we did a cleansing after. That's a whole new, whole different thing of the voodoo thing and so, because when you tell some people that they go, did you get a cleansing because, you know, you could have like a dam. You could still have it. Yeah. Hang on to you. Then you're the stranger.

Like a tick. That would go back to the jacks at a jack. Jack. Yeah. That's what it is. But I mean, I think so. So I have had a few of those type experiences, but mostly just enjoy hearing about them. Yeah.

I tried to buy a ghost once. Really? On Craigslist. Yeah. It didn't work out. They got cold feet because I asked too many questions. They said that you asked too many questions. I'm not selling you my ghost.

Oh. It was in a little shoe box. Oh, yeah. They were going to ship it to me. Really? Yeah. Like a ghost bus just put them in the little box. Yeah.

It's just going to send it to me. It would have been fucking badass. What were they asking for? No, that's a fair ask. Did they have a proof of a certificate? Like a proof of... No, I just believed them. Kind of like you're saying.

Like you could kind of, I don't know. I like to believe people who are eccentric, people have different stories. And when they like really feel invested in it and tell it to you, you can feel the authenticity. I've got a ghost in a box. Do you? Yeah, I can sell it to you. 150 bucks. Deal.

Done. Where? It's outside. We would actually buy it. You're doing back to the heel. We would actually buy that ghost from you right now. Yeah, you... I saw a shoebox.

You saw a sucker in my eye. I feel like this sucker. I saw a shoebox in the trash. I was going to grab it and kill over and give it to you. Oh, man. That would have been bad karma for you, though. You can't do that. Yeah.

To sell fake ghosts? Yeah, that's bad. That a real ghost would have gotten you. You would get a ghost, yeah. Yeah, right. You would have been fucked. The money that you got from him. Agreed.

Agreed. Have you ever sneezed around Vince McMahon? He hates sneezing. Yeah. Because it's a lack of control. Because you can't control it. Yes. He also doesn't like whiskers.

What? He would seriously dip deep down his side, not like any of our beers. Right. Does not like people when they get sick, when they get a cold. That's not allowed, either. Yeah, very interesting guy, for sure. What was your relationship with him like? Really good.

Yeah, it was really good. Really got some good perspective, good respect for each other. And that's why when I left in 2016, 17, to go on tour with Fawzi, and then I started working for New Japan, I did like four matches with him last year, but I told him about it. And then when the AEW thing came out, the new company that I'm working for now, I told him, I think he thought maybe I was bluffing at first, but then when I actually signed there and went there, he was like, are you kidding me? You actually went?

I'm like, well, I told you I was. You know, I gave you the chance to talk, but so yeah, I don't know what our relationship is now. I've got nothing against him, but now I'm working on the other side of the battle lines. He seems like a guy that it takes a while to earn his respect. Of course it does. I mean, how many people have worked for him over the years, hundreds, thousands. So to get Vince's respect, you got to earn it, but once you get it, you've got it.

Does he like test you at first to make sure that you're a guy that he can. I was there for almost 10 years before I think I lived up to the potential that he thought that I had. So there's a lot of testing. It's a lot of, a lot of military type covert operations going on, but that's kind of the way the business is run there. But like I said, once you can get that respect, then you've got it for life. Yeah.

Interesting. I mean, he's a fascinating guy because he, he obviously doesn't let a lot of his private out there, but he's like run such a successful business for so long. And the stories you hear, people can't sneeze around him. Like all these stories are like this, this mythological guy and they basically is right. I mean, like I say, like, there's only one other guy that I can think of us like him. That's Lauren Michaels from the creator side of life who's created this kind of iconic lifelong pop culture phenomenon that's based on talent constantly coming and going, right?

And sometimes you get a real hot one and then they go down and then it's kind of a rough season and then they get somebody else that comes up, but the one constant is the vision of Vince and the vision of Lauren Michaels. And neither one of them can be swayed in what they believe is right or wrong and who they believe can be a top, top guy. We struggle with that at Barstool. Like that's kind of the riddle that Barstool has been trying to find out for the history of the company is how to like bring in new talent, always be like, you know, not recycling

new talent, but like figuring out new stars and all that stuff because you want the brand to live longer. The brand is bigger than any one star, but if you get one of those stars that becomes super huge and popular, then how do you, you know, how do you replace Will Ferrell? Right. You replace, you know, all these people that have come and gone over the years and then they'll be all this season socks. There's no big stars, but then someone will pop through and suddenly sign allows the hit

again. Same with WWE. You know, well, there's no big stars right now. Well, there's a couple of guys in the works and maybe somebody strikes big and then suddenly you got a hot, a hot commodity. Yeah. Um, so I think that's something that, that those two guys can be compared like nobody else can.

And I also think there's a element of a victim of your own success where like for WWE, perfect example is everyone, at least my age group thinks of the attitude era or like late nineties, early 2000s, that was when wrestling was wrestling. They'll never get the attitude era back. Just like Barstow, a lot of our fans are like, I miss when it was just five guys, not 150 people. But I mean, once again, that's how, that's how things, you know, evolve, right? Like you can never go back to like, well, I liked the NHL when Wayne Greski was playing

and getting, you know, 200 points a year. You're not going to get a guy to get 200 points again in hockey ever. You just aren't because the guys are bigger. The rules have changed. The concept is mindset of what the teams do is different. So you can enjoy that timeframe, but you're not going to get it back. Attitude era, it's not going to happen again. And on top of that, if you actually go back and watch the attitude era, you know, there's

a great sketch comedy show in Canada called SCTV, classic Martin Short, John Candy, Dave Thomas, Andrew Martin, Catherine Herrera, genius. If you go back and watch it, yeah, there's a genius, but there's also a lot of crap on there too. And it's the same with the attitude era. Maybe every show you'll get two or three or four great things and like four or five things. That's really true.

It's how you're nostalgic. It's like we're nostalgic. We're when you were watching. Right. Exactly. Mine plays tricks on you. I hear a Sublime album and I'm back in middle school. Right, right.

And there's some albums that you'll listen to that you can listen to legitimately now. But then you'll go back and listen to that Sublime album and go, well, I was more into that when I was 15. It's not really catching me the same as it used to. So you get that vibe. And I think that's one of those things that with with WWE being a monopoly for so long, right out of the attitude era, then they bought WCW, then it's just been WWE. I think now with AEW even coming into existence, it's a great thing for the wrestling business

because it gives people a choice and there's nothing wrong with having a choice. On top of that, it gives the guys who are working, the wrestlers, girls and guys some some what's what I'm looking for where you have a choice between to some leverage. And then it's also going to stick a boot of Vince's ass to, you know, you're not just competition. If you're if you're running a race and no one's behind you, you're slow down, you stop, have a drink, whatever. If there's someone right on your heels and you're about ready to lose the race, you're

going to run as fast as you can. It's a good point because the attitude era came from that WCW in Goldberg and like and then I remember being like Goldberg's a fucking man. I love that guy. And then right after that, Vince won right 2001. He bought WCW. That was the end of viable competition. Now you actually have a group of performers who have worldwide name value and experience

who haven't really been seen on the national scale here with the exception of me. You've got a couple of big name guys that people know like me, Jim Ross, those type of guys. You've got huge financial backers in the con family that own the Jacksonville Jaguars. They own the Fulham Football Club in the Premier League, well they were in the Premier League. I know about that. I own a team that got relegated.

Did you really? Yeah. Yeah. They got relegated. Was it a team of ghosts? Swansea. Oh, okay. Yeah.

I know Swansea. Yeah, I own it. I've been there before. Yeah. You own the city of Swansea? Well, no, I own the team. Oh, okay. 0.001% of one percent.

Oh, okay. That's all right, man. That's an owner, right? Five, ten pounds. Yeah. Is that not an owner? I own three glow sticks worth of Swansea. But let me finish my point, and then throw in not only the financial backing, the talent,

and then the television deal with TNT, which incidentally is the same network that WCW Nitro was on. Now you have a viable alternative. All checks, all boxes are checked, and I think it's the first time we've ever seen this in decades. So I guess the real question is how much of the secret sauce of WE was directly from Vince's brain, and how much can be replicated somewhere else, because he touches everything, right? Like he controlled everything.

Everything. And like I said, when you get a guy like that, I mean, it's like, okay, if Van Halen's playing guitar in Van Halen, then he quits, and they get, I don't know, Steve Vai. You got a guy who's a brilliant player, but it's not Eddie, just a different way of thinking. And I think Vince is one of those guys, he's a genius. People bag on Vince for like, oh, he's losing it, or this was a bad idea. How many ideas has the guy had over the last 30 years? Let's just say 10,000 ideas.

If 9,000 of them are great, and 1,000 of them don't work, that's a 10% failure rate. And a 90% sex rate. He still has that. It's just that now he's in charge of this billion dollar company that's corporate publicly traded. So, you know, he's 75 years old, but he still understands the wrestling business. That never changes. The bottom line and basic concept of what wrestling is, doesn't change.

That's the secret sauce for Jericho is learned at the hands of Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson, his kind of main lead right hand man. So there's a lot of things I've learned from those guys that I can bring to AEW that no one else knows. From working so closely with Vince, and from having that trust, not that you're betraying, but you're learning and using those skills for your own ability. So when you get a chance to study with a guy like Vince, take it and learn from as much as you can because when he's gone, you cannot replicate that.

You cannot replace that. All right. I got one last question. SeekEek question, put in promo code TAKE, you get $10 off, do you use SeekEek on your podcast? Is that where you get tickets? Yeah, yeah. Tickets.

I have used it before. Yeah, there you go. Promo code TAKE, you got it. I just saved you $10. Oh. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Last question.

Next time I go to a Swansea game? Yeah, yeah. You get me $10 off? Yeah. Okay. Tickets are probably less than that now. Do you like us? Good question.

Wow. That's a great question, right? That was again a very broad question. Yeah. I do like you guys. I don't think you like us. Well, I think that you should shut your mouth and let me answer the question. Oh, there we go.

This is, he's going back with the heel. My goal is to get in the walls and get it out. You become very abrasive at times. So if I answer the question, you get mad at me and say it's going heel. Yeah. Yeah. A little bit annoying in the way, right? Yeah.

But I sense this part of your appeal. Yeah. Your heel. No, I'm just reacting to the vibe that you're throwing down. I like the fact that you're doing it in this van. I think at some point we should take a cross country trip in this van and film it all the way. Yes.

But sit like this from like, you know, from LA to New York. If you got to know us, you'd like us a lot more. I think if I got to know you, I'd like you a lot less. Yeah, I'd agree. I think where I am right now is probably the highest amount of liking I'm going to get with you guys, which is good. You always leave people wanting more. Yeah.

In this case, you're leaving people wanting less. Right. They're like, that was just the right amount of money. Never want that again. You know, it's funny. No one ever even told me what your guys' names were. No. Well, we just salmon and Dave.

Yeah. So you were just like that. Yeah. Yeah. I'm Dave. I'm Sam. He's Sam. He's Dave.

No, that's not our names. Oh, that's okay. I'm Dan. Big Cat. Dan and Save. Yes. Dan and Save. His name is Save.

They call me Save. Yeah. Like you saved the interview. Yeah. I'm the guy that comes in. There you go. That's actually a pretty cool call. Dan and Save.

Dave and Sam. Pretty chill. Dave and Sam. Dave Sam. Yeah, Dave Sam. Like Karate Kid. Dave Sam. It just occurred to me that what you just described probably happens a lot.

We really like people that we interview. We think that we're really good friends with them. And then they leave. Those guys are nuts. Fuck those guys. We're great friends. When you have a press day, right, which I'm doing right now, you have a list of interviews that you do.

So the one I did before this was at Sirius and it was Covino and Rich. Great guys. So I know their names, but now I have to on the fly figure out which one is Covino. Oh, yeah. Which is pretty easy to figure out because one guy's a Hispanic guy, one guy's a New York guy. So I got that one. So I did not see all I saw was Barstool Sports, pardon my interruption.

Pardon my take. Pardon my take. And I did not see Dan and Save. Okay. And now how do you rank us against all the other interviews you've done today? I think it's probably, it's been the longest. Oh, good. We'll take it.

We're never letting you out. All the interviews I've had today, this is definitely one of them. Okay. I like it. All right. I mean, we should end there. Chris Jericho. What can you say?

This has been an interview. Yes. I like it. Chris Jericho. Dan and Save. Dan and Save. Chris Jericho. Legend.

You're welcome on anytime. Thank you. And we'll see you again. Appreciate it. I'm going to Google you guys so I'll know your names last. That's right. Yeah. That's right.

Fuck that. Really not going on. I'll bring some free ghosts. Don't fuck around with that. I was about to buy that box. I saw who you were going to go find. I saw who you were going to go find. But you realized what you were about to do to me.

I was going to sell you a box. You were going to sell me a box. Yeah. And you'd be very happy with it. Well, the ghosts would have come after you forever. Well, they would have come after you for being a dumbass that gave me 150 bucks. That's it. Agree to disagree.

Chris Jericho. That interview with Chris Jericho is brought to you by Bud Light. It's summertime. It's hot outside and that means it's a bad, bad day to be a Bud Light.

Okay, we now welcome on Dale Earnhardt Jr. Dale, we wanted to ask you a bunch of questions, but we're going to start with one. You used to be a smoker, and now you're a Nicarette gum chur, and you got a new Ice

Mint Lozenge out, so tell us about that real quick. Yeah, I was a smoker for 15 years, then quit for about, then I'm a smoker for about seven years, and a Nicarette came to me with this new product, a Coated Ice Mint Lozenge you talk about and wanted to know if I'd be willing to tell my story and how I quit and try to encourage people in the same situation that are wanting to quit smoking to try this Mint Lozenge so that it could give them an advantage they need to finally knock out that terrible habit. I'm glad it's no longer part of my life and want to get somebody else that thing happening.

All right, so Dale, how's retirement going? Let's start there. I mean, you're obviously very busy. You got a podcast, you were at the Indy 500, you were at the Kentucky Derby. How is retirement going other than the fact that you're doing like a million jobs? That's the thing, man. I didn't think I was going to be working as much as I am today. And I think as I get down the road, I'll do a little bit better job of managing my time,

but I have a lot going on and it's keeping me busy, which is nice, but at the same time I got a new daughter, I was, she's about 14 months and loved being around her and spending time with her. And so I'm trying to figure out a way to sort of manage my time a little better where I can be, where I can, you know, do that, but it's been wide open. We wrote a book and we went on a book tour and did that over the last year. I'm working with NBC year round. We cover the races for half of a year.

Fox covers the first half of the season and we cover the second half of NBC and when we're not covering races for NASCAR, they send me to other sporting events that they're a big part of. That's been pretty fun to see how creative they get plugging me into the situation. And I went to the Indy 500 first time in my life, which was awesome as hell. And I'd suggest anybody to go to that event at least once. I went to the Kentucky Derby for the first time in my life this year. And again, that's a bucket list item that you have to go see at least once in your life.

I went to the South Korea for the winter Olympics for the, I mean, I'd have never went to South Korea in my life, much less than able to go to the Olympics. As a race car driver, we were so busy, we could never do these things. And since I've retired, it's opened the door and teaming up with NBC has really been a vessel to get me to these places. To be able to go around all those locations, I bet we got this grand tour of the Kentucky Derby grounds during the biggest day of the year for the race track. I got up close to some of the horses and those damn horses are incredible, man.

They're impressive athletes. We got to meet and talk to some pretty cool people. So it was, I enjoyed it. It's a little bit nerve wracking because live TV, you're just going to, you're going to be nervous. You can't help it. You're going to be nervous about that. You know, they're getting ready to throw it to you.

You're getting ready to be on TV in front of a hundred people. You don't want to make a mistake during the 8500. We were in the snakeshit, which is the craziest thing I've ever seen. You know, you're going to make mistakes. And so I think I said the Daytona 500 while I was standing there doing the hit with Rudd on live TV for the 8500 and your producer comes in your ear and goes, Hey, you screwed up. You said the Daytona 500 fix it.

So you have to figure out a way to come back on air, you know, a moment later and talk about how awesome the 8500 is. Do you think it would be more difficult to make the transition from racing NASCAR to racing horses or racing horses to racing NASCARs? I think a jockey trying to go race NASCAR would be the tougher transition. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Do you think jockeys are athletes?

Absolutely. Okay. I mean, you got to hang on to that horse. Just imagine this, like when you're sitting in the gate and that horse takes off, I think it takes everything that you have to be able to not be thrown off the horse in that moment and be left in the gate. I mean, that horse is, when that horse takes off, it's hard to ask and I don't know, man. I think that you'd have to be an athlete and very athletic to just hang on in that

one moment. There's strategy to it as far as how your horse races. Some races, some horses are closers. The horse that won and got disqualified, he was the guy that jumps out and leads right away and he'll lead the whole race if he can. And so you got to, you know, as a jockey, you got to know how your horse performs and when he needs to go and they just don't haul ass and take off running. It's the first one back.

There's like a process in that race as to how they use the horse and when the horse is, you know, when the horses are going to be able to perform and close at the end of the race. What do you miss about racing the most? Is it the competition? Is it the rivalries? Is it the speed? Were you addicted to speed at any point in your life?

The one thing I miss about racing the most is probably my team, the friendships that you make on your team. You travel with these guys every single week and you're racing. They're working on your car, trying to help you win and that your life is in their hands and so you build these great friendships with the group, the guys that you're with. The other thing that I miss is probably just passing a car, like passing a car is like making a shot or scoring a touchdown, catching the ball, intercepting the ball. Passing a car is a success, you know, a moment of success throughout a race and so trying

to get around the guy or trying to figure out his weak spot or trying to figure out how to make that pass happen is a lot of fun and you can tell when your car is better than somebody else's and it's just a matter of time before you're going to get around this guy. That moment is really exhilarating. Yeah, I like that. Yeah. Just passing a car.

After you win a race, you guys are always so great about shouting out all your sponsors. Is there, like you have to mix up which sponsor you say first every time or is it like always a set pattern? You're like, okay, I'm going to think Budweiser first, then I'm going to think this guy, this guy, this guy. There's one sponsor that's going to pay the most money and that's the one you better get in. So your primary sponsor is somebody you shouldn't forget.

I wasn't always great about that. I mean, if you look at some of my interviews, I rarely even mentioned my sponsors and I would all, you know, because I would talk in the moment and I would talk about my emotion and how I felt or, you know, and answer the question as genuinely as I could. And a lot of times, a sponsor is not going to work into that. So a lot of times I was not the best at doing that. Now, you know, but yeah, if you're going to, if you're going to mention your sponsors, you want to go from the one that's paying the biggest bill, the one that's putting the

bill for your team, because today in motorsports for a Winston Cup team, it cost about probably $15 million, $10 to $20 million to race in NASCAR successfully. And usually one company is going to be paying for the majority of that expense. So that's the guys you got to work in. Speaking of sponsorships, how much Mountain Dew do you think you've drank in your entire life? Oh man, I don't know. Quite a bit, not as much Budweiser though.

We drank a lot more Budweiser I think, those are some wild days. Yeah. Yeah. So you're a big Redskins fan. I grew up rooting for the team. Can you please tell me on why you think that this year is going to be the year that they're able to turn it around? Well, we did draft Haskins, which gets me excited as a fan.

I mean, if we were going into this all season and camp and pre-season without Haskins, look at the rest of the quarterbacks on the team, I mean, I can't do it. I'm sorry, I can't get excited about that. Case Keenum doesn't do it for you? No, not really. You know, I mean, not that he can't do the job, I would rather there be a little tougher competition for him and that's what we got in the draft. And you mean, we don't know what's going to happen with that, with the quarterback situation

and who's going to start and all that crap, but at least we got something to look forward to. I don't, you know, I've gotten to the point now as a Redskins fan. It ain't even a bens and losses for me anymore. It's not. I mean, if it was about that, I would have quit being a Redskins fan a long time ago. For me, it's about give me something to look forward to, give me something to be excited about, players, personalities.

Like we've been drafting some really kick ass guys on our defense. I hope to, you know, I want to watch them play out being a fan of Trent Williams and watching him work that offensive line over the years is what's kept me a fan. That's kept me as a, as a fan of the Redskins. It hasn't been the success on the field. It's been the personalities and the people, the people playing the game, the guys that will gut it out in the shittiest years and stick around and give it their best. Like Trent's the perfect example of that.

He's an all-star tackle, one of the best that's ever played the position, at least for the Redskins and he's had every reason to want to get the hell out of there and he's hung in there and give it everything he's got. And we're drafting a lot of good character guys, at least, you know, across the board. So watching them, dudes, Ryan Kerrigan and all these guys develop and, and, you know, be key players on the team is really fun for me. So Haskins, that's a great reason to tune in and be plugged in through, through camp and own into preseason.

Let's see what Haskins can do. Dale, I have a question. So when I was searching like fun facts, Dale Earnhardt Jr., some, some interesting things popped up. So I need some like clarification on a few things that I read. The first is, do you own a gas tank at your house? I have a gas tank at my house that I keep, you know, we, it's cheaper to buy it in bulk. So I keep a gas tank at the house and fill it up there.

Do you ever let like your friends fuel up or is it just for you? Nobody else better be using it. I like it. So, all right. So you should, you need to go all the way though. You need to have like a little convenience store next to the gas tank too and have someone like working at 24 hours. So you can go grab like, you know, some Mountain Dew and some Fritos and feel like you get

the full experience. That sounds like a pain in the butt. Okay. All right. Next one is, do you, did you at one point have like a wild west town on your property? I still do. Yeah. West, it's a Western town called Whiskey River.

It's got a saloon and jail sales, a sheriff's office, a hotel with rooms, got a church. We've had weddings there. We've had a lot of parties there. Holy shit. What are the laws in Whiskey River? Are they different from, from North Carolina state laws or what's different about it? I've only locked one person up. They got a little too drunk one night, otherwise, you know, pretty much the same laws.

Yeah. So, so do you go down there like and just hang out in your town? Like that's, that's pretty much the coolest thing anyone can do is just build themselves their own town. Yeah. I go down there and hang out. Me and my friend, we'll go down there and drink a few beers and pretty chill. Hey, are there any ghosts down there?

Do you believe in ghosts? It's a, yeah, I don't think there's ghosts there. Yeah, I believe in ghosts. Sure. Okay. Good answer. Good answer. All right.

And then the other thing that I read, which I can't believe that you and your father didn't talk about racing, that you just kept it, you know, father, son, not, not getting into the details about racing. Is that true? That's true. He wasn't hands on bad. Like let's go out in the yard and throw the ball. Let me tell you how to drive a corner.

Let me, you know, let me tell you how to drive around this track. There were a couple scenarios. If it happened, I can count those times on one hand. He just wasn't very hands on. You know, he was racing as well. So he had so much crap going on. He didn't have a whole lot of time for really anybody and he was, so he was gone traveling. I was home going to school and when I would race, I would go some, I would go race at

other racetracks. So he hardly ever saw me race for the first four years of my career. Wow. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's crazy because you obviously think like Earnhardt senior, Earnhardt junior, you guys sat down and talked about all the racing, but that clearly wasn't the case. Was it weird growing up in Earnhardt in the racing community?

Do people look at you differently? Did they maybe make a preconceived notion of you before they met you and found out the type of guy you were? I think so. In high school, I don't know, you know, there was some kids that liked racing, but it wasn't like the press didn't like it. The athletes and all that, the guys that played basketball, football, they didn't really give a thing about it.

I played soccer and none of them, none of the guys on the soccer team cared that my dad was Dylan Earnhardt. So it wasn't a, it wasn't a real advantage. It didn't, it didn't make me cooler in school. I wish you had, but it really didn't. So it wasn't much of an advantage there, but once I, I think once, you know, I got a little older, people saw it and it's pretty neat. You know, they thought it was cool that I was related to him, wanted to know all about

him. You know, you get questions about him all the time, even today still. People want to know so much about my dad. So it's something that I'm proud of. Um, yeah, I wish it had been something that would have helped me in high school. That'd have been nice. Yeah. Yeah.

Seriously. I've always wondered about NASCAR, uh, if, if there's how much like gamesmanship goes on, because obviously you guys want to win every single race that you're in. So a lot of times I'm sure that people will take like little, you know, they'll cut corners here and there, but how much, how much actual, uh, cheating do you think goes on the sport? Or is it more a case of like, if you can get away with it, it's not cheating. If you can get away with it, it's not cheating. So ever since racing began, guys have been trying to break the rules or

bend the rules in their favor. And I'll say this, like, I, if, if you take a stock, if you take a car that's legal from front, from front to back, completely legal through the rulebook, you're going, you're not going to run very well. You're not going to do well. And the good, the crew chief, the crew chief that I want, the team that I want are the ones that are willing to gamble and, and be aggressive with the rules, bend the rules, maybe break a few rules.

Cause I know that that's what I'm competing against. And the guys with the most creativity and ingenuity are the guys that are going to build you the best car, the one that can go out there and have a, have an advantage over everybody else. I like it. Um, so we are a Denny Hamlin podcast and with that, we are an anti Joey Slogano podcast. I know your friends with Joey Slogano, but he did make like an age joke on

your podcast recently. Um, what's his deal? What's that guy's deal? He's, he's a jerk. Joey is not a jerk. Um, one time Joey had a problem trying to get to a racetrack. He was flying to Phoenix and, uh, he, and at the last minute, he called me and he said, Hey, I need a ride.

I was having trouble getting there with my plane or something. So I said, no problem, hop on. I wasn't a big Joey fan. I didn't just like the guy. I just didn't like you. It's kind of either way. And he rides on the airplane to Phoenix, uh, runs his race on Monday morning. I got a check in the mail to the, to my foundation for $10,000 from Joey has

a kindness of his heart for me. He was giving him a lift to the race track that weekend. So then the guy's got a decent heart down in there. He's all right. Now the racetrack, he drives a little different, but he got beat up. You know, the guys were pretty rough on him for a long time when he was a rookie. When he was younger, he got pushed around a lot. And the, the sport, all, all the guys that had raced against him had sort of

created what he is on the racetrack. So I, I'm still not going to like, yeah, sounds like he has to pay for friends. Yeah. We're Danny Hamlin guys. We can't understand that. We can't leave her guy through and through. You like any, you, you a Denny Hamlin fan in Danny's known each other for probably 15, 20 years.

He's all right. He we're good friends. All right. Perfect. Have you ever hung out with Michael Jordan with him? I've, I've not hung out with Michael Jordan and Danny at the same time. That has not ever, ever happened. Oh, so you've hung out with Michael Jordan separate from Denny.

I've seen Michael around. And I don't know him like any knows, any knows him really well. Yeah. They're, they're, they're born. Yeah. We had Danny, we've had Danny on the show a couple of times and he called Michael Jordan for us and he picked up the phone call. It was pretty much the best moment of my life.

You can't get any better than that. Yeah. Um, all right. I had one last question. It's a seek each question you can put in promo code take and you get $10 off your seek each purchase. Where do you rank all time juniors? So you got Ken Griffey, junior, Cal Ripken, junior, uh, junior

Soprano before he died. Where do you think you rank in all time juniors? Hell, I don't know, man. Um, there's a lot of awesome juniors out there, but, um, yeah, the fact that I'm getting asked this question is actually pretty cool, but I was a big King Griffey junior fan. I had all his baseball cards when I was little. So I put him up there.

I had, I have a, uh, a Cal Ripken second year Fleer card. Um, he was pretty bad ass. He, we actually had races named after Cal Ripken. Really? Uh, I might've won one. Yeah. We had to Cal Ripken 400 or something. It was, uh, I think I might've won that racer.

I can't remember. No way. This is crazy. Why did they do that? He sponsored it. I don't know. He was, well, no, he didn't sponsor it, but some company he was paired with was, was brought him in and he was at the race and I'm sure you can, you can look

it all up, figure it all out, but yeah, I'm looking. Yeah, you won it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm looking at right now. The 2001 MBNA Cal Ripken junior 400. There you go. And you won it.

What about, what about juniors cheesecake? That's pretty good too. Yeah. Damn. Good job for you. You Cal Ripken junior. That's junior junior. That's like the, that was the best junior day of all time.

That's awesome. MLK junior too. He was a good one. That's true. Respect. Harry Connick junior. Yeah. Cuba Gooding junior.

Cuba Gooding, John F. Kennedy junior. Freddie Prince junior. I'm better than Harry Connick junior. He was a very good sportsman. Yes. That's true. Oh, that's fired. That's true.

We got some junior on junior crime going on. Yes. Yes. All right. Big catch is to ask his last question. I have one last, last question then we'll let you be on your way. If Dan Snyder has, has one seat left on his private jet and he can either pick up you or Matthew McConaughey, who do you think he's picking up?

Good Lord. I hope he picks me up. I, you know, Matthew's pretty cool, but could you imagine talking red skins with him? No, I can't imagine talking anything with him besides just like having just chilling out with him. I actually would like to talk red skins with him. I wonder how I bet he talks about, I bet he talks about all the Super Bowls and really slow, real slow talking.

Oh, yeah. That'd be pretty interesting actually. He meant it. Yeah. Let me talk to you real quick about first time I laid eyes on Mark Riven. All right. Thank you so much, junior. Appreciate it.

Everyone go check out the new Nicorette Ice Mint Lossage. Also, Dale has a podcast you can go listen to. We appreciate your time, man. Anytime you're in New York City, stop by the studio. Hi guys, we'll do it. Thank y'all. All right. Thanks, man.

I'm actually wearing my No Bull shoes right now. They're pretty sweet, very comfortable. I actually sat down here.

gym the other week, just chilling in one of these chairs. And this girl comes up to me and she sits down right next to me. I'm wearing my No Bull shirt.

OK, let's wrap up this Friday with some segments. First up, I had a stay woke for you, PFT. So your boy, now that I'm a father, I've watched a lot of get up in the morning because that's my time to be a father. And I've been watching a lot of get up. Your boy, Greeny, is very upset because we have the big time controversy of whether the NBA will lessen the season from 82 games to who knows what. And Adam Silver also said they're going to explore an idea of a midseason

tournament to, I guess, decide playoff seeding or whatever it may be. A cup. A cup. I don't know what that means. So here's my stay woke. I think Adam Silver is a smart, good commissioner. But I think the reason why everyone loves him is because he will just listen to whatever stupid, high idea that Twitter has and then publicly say,

we're going to discuss it because guess what, every time they talk about shortening a season and people freak out and Greeny has fallen for the bait here, he like, he had a full freak out. You just have to remember, if they shorten the season, all the players are going to get paid less. So there's no way they're ever going to shorten the season and all the owners are going to make less money. So it's never going to get shortened.

But Adam Silver is a genius because he just takes like, he just basically goes on NBA Reddit, reads the most upvoted idea for how to fix the NBA and then says, we're going to discuss it in this off season and maybe we'll make some changes. So he's basically, he's trying to do what they did in the EPL or like English soccer. I don't, I don't understand what's going on with all the trophies and cups. It's very tough system to understand, but I know that there are like three

of them that are happening simultaneously. So he's trying to muddy the waters here a little bit in the U.S. and I think that you're right about him listening to too many ideas. But with, with Greeny, Greeny should, Greeny should be happy that Silver's listening to dumbass ideas from random corners of the sports universe because at some point he's going to listen to one of Mike Greenberg's own dumb rules. True. Like he's basically Adam Silver's sending up the bat sign for Greeny,

being like, Greeny, let's get fucking weird with it. You want to throw some weird rules at me? Tell me that we're going to raise the rims to 11 and a half feet during November and then bring them back down. Like let's get weird, Greeny, and I'll discuss it. All that shit's going to happen though. They're going to, I guarantee you in the next few years, Adam Silver's going to talk about moving the three point line, getting a four pointer, uh, getting

rid of like, you know, intentional fouls, making technicals, different, all these things. If you haven't done idea and you get enough traction on Twitter, Adam Silver will announce that they are going to discuss it just to appease everyone. And everyone says Adam Silver is the true commissioner of the people. He's open to all these ideas. He embraced gambling first. Adam Silver gets credit for embracing gambling first, but that is the most

obvious thing to do in the whole world. So as much as I want to say, good job by you, Adam Silver. I'm also like, yeah, no shit. Everyone should embrace gambling. Adam Silver is just smart to say it out loud. First, he shouldn't get credit for basically a baseline of intelligence that gambling will make people watch more. Yes, it's easy stuff to do if you're a commissioner.

I think that's what most people under the age of 40 would have said, like day one on the job. Right. So yeah, I mean, maybe we can get them to embrace one of our dumb shit ideas, like letting players score for whichever team they feel like in the middle of a game. Points for best, best own of a Twitter troll. Kevin Durant now becomes even more of a super max guy. Best governor of a Twitter troll.

Oh, yeah, governor. Sorry, governor. OK, last up before we get to license to Jill, Wayne Rooney had a sick goal. It was talking soccer. He yeah, I was talking soccer. It was a sick. It was a screamer. It was it was what's the difference between a screamer and a howler?

Hmm. Depends where you're from. Yeah, I guess, yeah. I think that's like a northern England, southern England. I don't know. We'll just say that. OK, Catholic Protestant thing. I think it was a screamer. Wayne Rooney absolutely drilled the shit out of that. That's like his third goal from Beyond Medieval.

Oh, breaking moves from Hank. What do you got? Actually, from our good friend, Uncle Chaps, who just informed me. So this week, he posted a video of his daughter playing defense. She's like a little his younger daughter. It went viral. It was all over the place. They talked about it on the jump.

They talked about it on all sorts of news stations. And he just told me that tomorrow, today, for the people listening, this on Friday, she's going to be on Good Morning America. Whoa. So good for good. Good for our friendships. Good for McCartney. It's cool to see people from, you know, our company when they go viral and hit the hit the mainstream. That video is so fucking funny.

And she is she's Patrick Beverly and Kevin Durant's head. She just went so, so hard on the defensive end. And it was the perfect time because nothing else was going on. So like they had like a full segment on the jump with Scotty Pippen breaking down her defense, which is I mean, that's something that'll be cool for the rest of her life. Didn't didn't who go bear said, go ahead and just give my defensive player award to her to Chaps daughter.

So McCartney McNeely is the official winner of the 2000 and 19 NBA defensive player of the year award. I I like it. America's back. She got invited to the Spurs and the Bulls camp. Jeez, this is awesome. This is what's so cool about having a kid is that you can put him to work. Just creating content for you online.

Yeah, she is. She's a content factory for Chaps. OK, so that that breaking moves was brought to you by chocolate milk. Hank's been doing great. So let's see how much he's grown without hurting your dichotomy. Tell everyone how great chocolate milk tastes using the words boya base and delectable. Fuck, I kind of know what boya base means. Yeah, you can see it.

You know, sometimes, sometimes after a workout, I'll get a chocolate milk and a bagel and spread some boya base on it. And it's just delectable. You wash it down. You wash it down with the chocolate milk, boya base, bagel, can't beat it. When a natural break comes through. Oh, sorry, that's that's just when a natural break comes to wrap up the story. I read the part we had this last time.

Yeah, but that's a natural break, right? So learn more built with chocolate milk dot com nailed it. We nailed it. I like I like boya base. That sounds like something that they would say in the course of a bubble sparks on. Yeah. Boya base sounds like something you could get really high off to. Yeah. OK, let's finish up with our intern. Jilly football.

OK, it's that time of the week. It is licensed to Jill, our intern. Jilly football is here. She has worked on her hashtag game, hashtag Josh. And we didn't see you all last week, but you've been killing it on Twitter. Thank you. You've been sheeshing it up a lot, too. Do you have a dream problem? I played the fifth. OK.

All right. So that means yes. Let's start how we always start licensed to Jill with what you were not mad, but disappointed in in this last week's content. OK. Boys. The dramatic causes killed me. I know. I'm not mad, but this one I'm a little disappointed.

Can I say in myself? Yeah, sure. I I tweeted. And I don't you know, I'm still new to it. So but I tweeted about. The eggplant emoji. Oh, that I found out this last week. What it meant. Oh, yeah. So I I didn't think I didn't see it coming.

All the dimensions. Yeah. OK. So and I'll probably get more. But no, no, no. Send eggplants to Jillie. Did you get a lot of them? I well, I did. But I first I had to ask a guy in a bar at the airport what it was because I couldn't see it.

It was so little. OK. And what did he say? He said that's an eggplant. And I said, OK, and then he kind of turned a little red. So then I when I got to my I asked my son and he explained it. Confirmed. So here's some other ones to watch out for. The banana, obviously the banana can mean similar thing. The peach just means but.

Yeah, big old dump. The three water drops. You probably want to avoid that or just one water drop. Yeah, you're kidding. Yeah. When you get wet, ejaculation, maybe if you're watching basketball and shooting the three well, you can use it, but otherwise avoid it. That's what that means.

Yeah. So you don't want to get wet. Mm hmm. Also, it doesn't mean raining. No, it does not mean raining. Use the umbrella if you want to do the rain. Yeah, or that can still be like, oh, you better bring your umbrella. That's the dices. Don't use the I'm OK one. The OK sign, because that means that your white supremacist.

Yeah. And you can't go to any Cubs games. No. So you'd be banned for life from Wrigley. Correct. Just be careful with that one. Yeah, there's a lot of rules. You have so much to learn. So when you tweeted the eggplant, were were you surprised with how many eggplants you got back that maybe had water drops on them?

I don't think I noticed that. OK, good, good, good, good, good. So did we determine what the jelly beans emoji was? Are we going with the grapes? I think I like that. The grapes are good. Because it's also the sheesh. Yeah, the grapes. Jelly beans assemble.

All right. So when jelly beans is going after someone, the the jelly beans need to just tweet out the grapes right in their mentions. We need to get you an Instagram, by the way. We need to get you on the ground. I would like to see some jelly bean Instagram story. See stir straps from Jillie. Yeah. Oh, great time.

All right, so what's the other thing that you were not mad but disappointed in? In your show the other day, and I, you know, they they run together sometimes. It's all one song. It is. Well, I was disappointed in and not mad, obviously, but disappointed with the the guy you interviewed

who was six four and dunked in eighth grade. Oh, Mark Titus are good friends. OK, well, what happened to him? Why didn't he go to the NBA? I mean, well, oh, I have even get lazy. Well, OK, I have more for you. Stop growing. He was also part of like the greatest AAU team ever,

which you would know if you ever met him, because he tells you right away. OK. So yeah, he he has friends, Mike Conley, Greg Odin. Who else was on that team? That's I think that's it. No, there's a couple more. There's it's still a good team.

It's a very good team. And Mark Titus and Mark Titus and Mark from three. He's a guy that if he tweets the the droplet sign just means he's in the gym. Yeah. That means you're not mad but disappointed that Mark Titus never amounted to anything. Yeah, I thought maybe I'm lazy.

You know, he just became a podcast. Yeah, like everyone else. He wrote a book and thought he was like the best. Well, what he did and this is very smart of him. He realized that he it would be easier for him to just be a bench player and make fun of himself for never getting in games than it would be to actually work hard enough to get into the game.

Right. And so he made a career out of that, which I mean, credit to if you can make a career out of admitting your laziness, that's good stuff. It's the ultimate. Like I'm not going to try. I'm never going to give 100% effort because if I fail, then I'm a failure.

But if I always give 75% effort and I fail, it's like, well, I was a joke. I wasn't really trying. And if you can make fun of yourself for being so bad at what you really want to do deep down inside, then there's also market for that too. Right. Exactly.

So that's kind of where he landed. All right. So I'm just a good, not bad to put disappointed. I didn't know the story. Yeah, there it is. There's the story. All right, you have some license to jail for us. We'll wrap up the show with that.

OK. Lay it on us if you can unlock your phone. No, there is that. Yeah. Hello, my beautiful Angel Jelly Bean and handsome dad cat. Oh. What do you find most attractive in men? And OK, how do you get to it?

OK, you've got to unlock your phone. Then swipe it off the side. That's why I made the joke about unlocking the phone. And you just like cruise right by it. I just cruise right by it. Yep, there you go. Yep. OK.

I'm so sorry. I'm learning. You make me nervous, maybe. No. OK. I think you scrolled past it, maybe. This is, oh, there he is. No, I must have scrolled.

There you go, right there, right there. No, no, no. OK. Sorry, everybody. We need to get you a bigger font on that phone. We need to get you one where you have two words per line. Are you at the point where you have the house line with the huge, huge dials, like the numbers?

OK, no, you don't. I actually like those phones. We got that. My grandmother, right before she died, we got that. And I was like, this side. I hope I'm not going to write before. I hope I'm not dying. No, I'm not saying that.

No, no, no, you're not. You're healthy. Your shoulder is healthy as could be. It is. Very healthy. It's stronger than you look. OK, what do you find most attractive in men? And how do men today compare to when you were big cat

in PFT's age? Ooh, good question. Well, what do I find most attractive in men? It's always been the same. Yep. The smile. Oh. Always.

And that's true. I like a little rugged, good looks like Paul Newman. Yeah. I like a little stubble. Newman, very relatable. I like the beard, all that. Everyone's like, you like the lemonade guy? OK.

No, the Oreos guy. Yeah. Oh, the Oreos guy? Yeah. Yeah. OK. Manchivie? Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. What else? Coolhand Luke, right? What about height? And weight? I like someone taller than me. The taller than you. That's not hard.

That's not hard. We're done with that answer. OK. You know, height has never been a big thing. OK. Weight's never been a big thing. Eggplants matter? It's, you know.

We'd rather have an eggplant or a banana. Are you happy to see me or some banana in your pocket? Well, it used to be banana, but now I'm kind of leaning towards the eggplant. OK, got it. Got it. Noted. And what were guys like back in the day?

Yeah, is there any truth to the fact that back in the day, it was, you know, guys had more shit to them. They were more rugged. They were more piss and vinegar. Piss and vinegar nowadays. It's, you know, guys are all coddled these things. Soft hands. Never worked a day in their life.

That's true. However, unless they were an athlete, a real athlete, they never, they were like soft. Yeah. OK, that's true. And I never liked real soft men. So more guys have become in better shape. Correct.

Than they were back in the day. Yeah, absolutely. That's wild. Like a little, your decade's too late. Yeah, a little woe. Like think about 30 years ago, they're just like, weren't gyms. Yeah. Well, that's a big one.

That's true. Yeah, there was no planet fitness or anything like that. No, we had Jack LaLaine. Yep, of course. You know, Teddy Atlas. Ken Beisdow? Don't know him. John Beisdow.

John Beisdow, my bad. He had AIDS. Yeah, oh. We did. Big Magic Johnson. What do you ever do? No, it's just an urban legend, I think. But I'm going to run with it.

Yeah. OK, next one. OK. Hey, Julie. I've got seven siblings and three cousins. I'm the fourth oldest of the 11 of us. And I live the furthest away from my grandma. How can I move up in the grandchild power rankings

and get past the little shits that have just gotten by being cute? Oh, yep. Move in and take care of grandma. Do you think that does it? Can you? Absolutely. I'm not a grandma, so I don't know.

Right. But would you say you can go up and down the rankings? Because I, myself, I always was the bottom of the rankings for my grandparents. I knew it. I knew where I stood. I was always the, like, hey, he's a blotter. Who the fuck cares about him?

Yeah. OK, so you can move up. Of course you can. You have to really try hard. That's the problem. It depends on grandma. OK. What about this?

If you just have a weekly standing phone date with your grandma. That's good. That way you can say, oh, Saturday morning. So that's my phone date with grandma. That becomes something that she gets really into. And she will love you, and you will move right to the top of the pile.

OK, so all these kids. Not to put you on the hot seat here, though. You have five children. I do. You definitely have them ranked, right? Oh, no. Oh, come on. There's one that you like more than everyone else.

And they all know who they think it is, but I will never say. OK, but we know who it is, right? Do you? Yeah, it's Christina. Christina, absolutely. Top of the pile. Top of the pile. But you definitely have moments where it's like, OK,

this kid is now my favorite. Yeah. Standing out, head and shoulders above the rest. It depends on what they do for mom. Yeah, OK. There you go. Mom can be bought. Absolutely mom can be bought.

What would you do if one of them had like a really good week in terms of how you and that kid got along? They did something to distinguish themselves. Would you be cognizant of the fact that you're giving that child a lot of attention and then try to make up for it by lavishing praise on the other four, just like overdoing it on them? Nah.

Or would you do like an hour long special with Kirk Herb Street revealing the rankings? Absolutely, I would absolutely do that. Georgia, number one. Yeah, there we go. All right, next one. OK. We already did that one.

Did I listen to Monday's show? If so, what life advice would you have for someone in their early 20s? And what did you think of the guys advice they gave? I did listen to it. But I don't remember everything. That's very powerful advice. Well, it really made an impact on you.

Excuse me. I'm old. I forget what happened yesterday. True. But I can't remember what you said. Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. OK, next question.

Next question. That was a perfectly answered. Would you ever take a gravity bong rip with the boys? Would you? Do you know what that is? You've smoked weed. You burn. She lived in San Francisco.

You've burned. Yes. She lived in Ashbury. She definitely burned. I didn't live there, but I've been there. And sure, let's do it. Let's go. Do you know what a gravity bong is?

No, but I'm willing to do it. Let's go. It's when you get a big, like think a big water pulling springs, you know, water jug, cut it in half. And then you have it. You submerge it into a cooler or a sink. And you basically lift it up while you're pulling all the smoke because you get the smoke on the top.

And then you hit it and it fucks you up real bad. Ooh. In? Still. No, I'm in. Still in. OK, well, that just for everyone listening at home, I know that we promise some things that we never deliver.

I guarantee you by the end of the summer, we will all hit a gravity bong. Absolutely. Jilly football is gravity bong. Fuck. You're going to make it. We'll tell. We'll give you directions and you can make it.

I can make it. Yes, you can make the gravity bong. You have to make it. It's not something that is sold. OK. It'll get you so high. Yeah. You're going to be so fucking high.

OK. Saw you sheeshing last, sheeshing it up last weekend. What's one time when the sheesh got the best of you? Kid number three. Kid number five. Oh. Yeah, that's a good answer. That's a good answer.

All right, let's do one more. Could you beat your darling Jake in a fight in your prime? Hell yes. Yeah. So PMT sports biz Jake versus Jilly football in a prime. You seem like you were scrappy. You play any sports? Only intramurals.

OK. Would you pull hair? Yeah. OK. I think we'll bite her. World star. We should actually have them fight. We should have them fight.

Ooh, I have rough and rowdy. Yeah. Ooh. You'd have to take some. I could take him down. Take him down. That shoulder, we'd have to make sure it's 100% because I feel like it could have popped out at any moment.

Ooh. Yeah. All right, license to Jilly football. Thank you. Keep tweeting. Thank you. You're the best. We appreciate it.

You guys are the best. Happy July 4th. We won't see you for July 4th. OK. But we will see you the week after. OK. So you have the week off. We actually go enjoy New York.

I would like you to participate. We're going to, after the week of July 4th, we're going to do a live stream for the Home Run Derby because if Christian Yelich wins, PFC and I have to eat each other's asses, so I'd like you to participate with that. Not the ass eating part, but the watching the Home Run Derby.

The watching, the commentating. And watching the ass eating. No, no, no, no. Yeah, you can watch if you want to. I'm not going to tell you not to do something you want to do. You're a grown woman, but you don't have to. We already found out you're an eggplant woman, so. Yeah.

I am now. I'm more like an acorn, but whatever. This is peach to peach. Yeah. All right. Chili football. Thank you guys. Love you guys.
