Let's partade my take presented by Barstool Sports.
Welcome to part of my take presented by Game Time.
The exclusive ticketing app for Barstool Sports today is Wednesday, September 28 and Danny
Dimes has done it again. 0-9 in prime time games. The Cowboys beat the Giants. I was
actually thinking about it. It's unfortunate for Danny Dimes that he is playing for the
Giants because he does have to play so many prime time games. And it wasn't even his fault
on Monday night. But that game, watching that game, it reminded me, because like being able
to actually focus on one game, it reminded me that Danny Dimes has the worst internal
clock of any quarterback I've ever seen in my life.
Alright, so it's funny that you said that because literally the only note I made from
last night's game was Danny Dimes, he stands in the pocket for about one second and then
he takes off. So I don't know if it's necessarily that he's got a bad internal clock most of
the time in terms of getting sacked, but he doesn't let the clock play out long enough
sometimes. And then when he should be having the alarm go off, he doesn't. So he's like
opposite. It's like the broken clock is right twice a day. Somehow, Daniel Jones is a correct
clock that's wrong at all hours of the day. He's like just like 10 minutes either ahead
or 10 minutes behind, but he's never on schedule. So at the end of the game, he rolled out of
the pocket and he had a linebacker coming at him for about 15, 16 yards away and he just
kind of stood there like a video game. He's like, he'll never get here. With the controller
unplugged and just was just like bouncing and pulsing. Yeah. And then just gets fucking
rocked and throws the ball sideways at a bounce. Then all the other times in the game, he'll
drop back in the pocket, he'll look over to his right. That dude's not open. Fuck it.
I'm going to take it and run and he can run in a perfect pocket. And so yeah, he can run.
He just he also had the special of he would roll right and there would be it was usually
Lawrence or Michael Parsons or someone the Cowboys defense was great. They pressured
him all night long would just be running after him. And it was like watching like the movie
game where you're like, don't open that door. And Daniel Dimes like, dude, what's going
on? Like if you're a Giants fan, you're spending the entire time yelling at the TV, watch out.
I like the Daniel Dimes. Yeah, I think we've only heard like Daniel Jones, Shack O'Neill.
Yeah, Daniel Jones or Danny Dimes. Daniel Dimes. Damn, Daniel Dimes was back at it again
with the bad internal clock. And it wasn't. I actually don't think that that was all on
him that game because the Giants have no receivers. Yeah, they don't really block well.
Saquon looked awesome. And the Cowboys defense like Dan Quinn is a really fucking good defensive
coach. He's going to be a head coach. I'm just going to maybe I'm going to call it. I'm going
to call it right out. Dan Quinn will be a head coach again. And he's going to go like
eight and eight, then he's going to go five and 11, then he's going to go five, 11 again,
get fired, then he's going to go somewhere went to a Super Bowl and be the best coordinator
in the league. Yeah, like some some people are meant to be coordinators. And that's okay.
I don't know what it is about our society these days that says that the pinnacle of
everything is to be if you're in the coaching sphere is to be a head coach. Like sometimes
you can just be really happy being really fucking good and the best defensive coordinator
in the league. And then everybody always wants you to get a head coaching job. And then you
just take the interviews for the head coaching job, come back and get a raise. Look who's
look who's living proof of you should just do that is Brent Venables. He just lost to
Kansas State at home. He should have just stayed at Clemson forever, getting like one
and a half million dollars a year. And every time Clemson lost, Dabbo gets clowned, not
him. Yeah, that's perfect. Also, is there any chance that let's say hypothetically
Urban Meyer goes to Nebraska? And then Taylor Martinez is like, I'd like to transfer one
more year before this year's over. And he goes back to Nebraska. He probably has another
I think they I think they would grant him another year just to go back to Nebraska. But we should
also mention Cooper Rush, three and O is a starter looked like Cooper Rush has now made
himself a lot of money because he does. He doesn't look incredible, but he looks more
than competent as a backup. I'm telling you, but get the ball kind of jumps off his hands
sometimes. And it's not like he's got a cannon for an arm. I don't think he's got like a
really compact wind up and the ball goes further than you think it would based on how he throws
it. Yeah. So he's yeah, he's made himself a lot of money as a backup. And Jerry Jones,
even I think today he said something along the lines of it'll be interesting to see what
happens when Dak comes back. Yeah, because like he's put pressure and Jerry, Jerry fucking
loves a quarterback controversy. Oh, he loves that's what he gets out of whatever hyperbaric
chamber he sleeps into extend his life. That's how he gets out of that area in the morning.
And he's like, I can't wait to stir up some controversy with my team and talk about the
quarterback. And he also like he comes from the cradle of quarterbacks. I think it's the cradle
of coaches, but I'm going to call the Mac the cradle of quarterbacks. Central Michigan,
you got Ben Rothesberger, Bruce Gurdkowski, everyone, Chas Batch, Jules, Jules, good point,
Jordan Lynch, a lot of great quarterbacks went on to be great pros out of the Mac. So yeah,
Cooper Rush. I mean, and again, the Cowboys defense is just fucking good. They are I think
it's it's they have a lot of good players, but it also just proves that like if you can get that
one guy, which is obviously harder said than done, but that one guy who can just wreck every play in
Micah Parsons, everyone else's job gets easier. That one time when he got double teamed, and then
like skirted the double team and then just blew up the guard and then got the quarterbacks like
this guy, he can't be blocked. Yeah. 11 from heaven, as Skip Bayless says. Yeah. Skip recorded
a nice video after the game was over last night. I have him just just like his nut face into the
camera. Yep. He was just like, Oh, yeah, this is awesome. He loved man. I the world is a better
place when Skip Bayless and Steve Stephen A Smith are drawing at each other from cross country
into their phones without ever addressing the other person by name. Yes. Because when Steve
A Smith puts on the cowboy hat, and he goes on first take in the morning, he's not doing that
to get under green skin. No, he's not doing that to get under the fan skin. He's doing that knowing
that skip still watches film about him and thinks about him every day, and sometimes accidentally
calls Shannon by Stephen A Smith's name when they're debating correct and vice versa. When
Skip Bayless talks about the Cowboys, he's not betting cases of dying Mountain Dew with the
Shannon sharp. He's betting his own heart to Stephen A Smith, who he knows is watching that
tape later on that day. Yes, absolutely. And yeah, the Cowboys, I'm starting to like fall
for the Cowboys again. I need back girl. I need you to like just set me straight that
we're supposed to hate the Cowboys. This is my problem with just being like, Oh,
I'm rooting for this team this year. I don't know all the, you know, the history because
like I watched that Cowboys defense. I was like, if that comes back and he's okay, like this Cowboys
team similar to last year, I'm like, Oh, then Michael Gallup comes back and CD lamb shout out
CD lamb for that horrendous drop in the first half. And then he did the my bad, which I love
whatever he's like, totally. Yeah, it was like a wide open in his hands. My bad guys. Yep. Thank
you. That's leadership. The craziest part about that drop that he had was I don't think he ever
even extended his hands to catch the ball. The ball just landed in his hands where his hands were
and just went right through. It was the perfect pass. It was the perfect pass. You cannot have
thrown a more perfect ball and I'm trying to get better at maybe not like just completely
self phoning myself. Which one did I say there Hank? Cell phone. I did say cell phone.
I'm trying not to like have the total knee jerk reactions because in the first half I was like,
are we sure CD lamb is good? That's what I was thinking. And then he went on to make like
incredible plays and win the game. Yeah, he's an incredible wide receiver. But yeah, the Cowboys.
I also like, did you see Jerry Jones celebration after the game? No, it was awesome up in the box.
Jerry Jones in the box when he's happy is so perfect because I think he had an opportunity to
execute upwards of 10 or 11 various handshakes and fist bumps and he missed all of them. Yeah.
Every single one of them was a fist bump to another guy's handshake or a handshake to another
guy's fist bump. And then he was just rich people are fucking amazing at missing handshakes. And
then he was just rich people and golfers. Yeah, which I guess is a good Venn diagram. Yes, it is.
But he was just staring at his team after like picking his fingernail. And I just assumed that
he was like being like, yes, my prettys, like they finally won a game. Like this is great.
But yeah, the Cowboys defense is real. The Giants, I think the Giants are exactly what we thought.
Like they're, they're a frisky team, but they're not a good team yet. I mean, they were, we said
it before, like, could you imagine the Giants being three and oh, I could not. So that's why I
took the Cowboys last night. And like, I don't Giants vs Bears this week will be a battle of
like whoever wins that game will be three and one. And that's stupid. Yeah, that makes no sense.
I think I think the Giants are definitely I put them in the punching above their weight class.
Yeah, yeah, they're their first year head coach. They're frisky. So the Giants can beat a team
that's better than them. And they can also lose to a team that's worse. Yeah, they can lose the
worst. But usually they can beat a team that's better than them, but they can't compete with a
team that's better than them that is playing at like their normal level. Yeah, they have to have
an off game. You have to make you you have to look at the Giants and be like, we're going to play
down a little bit. Then the Giants will beat you 100% of those right. The Giants can beat
the Bills if Josh Allen turns the ball over six times. Correct. Yeah, correct. Yeah,
they could lose to the Seahawks just straight up. Yeah, I wanted to point this out because somebody
did point out to me yesterday that the hat that I wore on Sunday night show went six and oh against
the spread in six and oh money line. Now it what I why this sounds like you're doubting.
No, it was a Sunday or Thursday. What do you mean? The Bears didn't cover, but that's whatever.
Okay, so yeah, money. Yes, money line. Yes. No, but they they push. Slot either you push or
lost three or three and a half. Okay, so the hat went undefeated money money line, including several
underdogs. Correct. And Jaguars were on there. Jaguars were on there. It actually was better
than I thought it was because I looked at the hat last night. And there are two other teams. I
forget what they are because I don't have the hat on me right now. But there are two other teams
that are on that front panel that also won money line. One of them I think was an underdog as well.
So it really went eight and no money line. That will never happen again. So I I think I'm going
to take the bill of the hat this week. I'll bring it in. Okay, we'll talk about Thursday. I'll put
together a bill parlay and see if the hat I like it's just wear backwards. I was thinking. Yeah,
so I could wear backwards. Colin Coward would fucking hate that. But on the back, it's got more
teams. So it's more likely that it could lose or bigger, bigger odds. I don't know. We'll see if
the hat can rise to the occasion. I think you take the back of the hat, not as a parlay. Just all of
them straight up. Straight up. Yeah. Yeah, front and back. And then what about the bill, though?
The bill may be saved for when we need to get out of jail free. The bill is for a rainy day.
Oh, yeah, for a rainy day. That's perfect for the brim of the hat. Yes, exactly. Breaking
case of emergency, the bill of the hat. What are you going to say, Billy? Did you guys see who
was wearing number 13 on the Giants last night? Who? David Sills, who played at West Virginia. But
if you remember way back, that was the quarterback who was 13, who was offered by Lane Kiffin at USC.
And now that's how the story panned out. He switched to Y receiver and now he's playing the NFL.
He could have been you, Billy. Yeah. And we also had an almost all time Mike McCarthy move, which
Jake Ferguson, Barry Alvarez's grandson, fun fact, went out of bounds at the end of the game.
And that that play was stupid to begin with. Like they're like, Hey, we just need to run the ball
and we can get it to like 50 seconds. And they're like, no, let's pass it and have it run towards
a sideline short of the sticks and hope it works. And it didn't. It didn't work. And Mike McCarthy,
it was going to be an all time Mike McCarthy bonehead, but we were robbed of that.
Am I the only one that has thought that Ezekiel Elliott isn't the best running back on the Cowboys
for the last like two and a half years? Yeah. I mean, Tony Pollard gang has always been hyping
him up. I feel like three for the last for the last three years, it's been it's been pretty obvious
to me at least. Yeah, although Pollard is he just looks like a fresher guy. Like Ezekiel, he's
earned his contract. And by that, I mean, like he was good before he got paid. And so they kind
of paid him money, which I think and Jerry loves him and Jerry loves him. But when you have like
an older running back and by older, I mean, really after their first big contract, it's tough to stay
fresh for that long. Tony Pollard, he runs like he's still hungry. So the only thing that I agree,
he always looks like the fresher, faster running back. I always wonder though, like, is that because
he doesn't get the first down carries when everyone knows you're going to run and like has to run
between the tackles type of stuff. Yeah. Like he gets to he gets he gets the third down plays. He
gets he gets stuff that Ezekiel Elliott has to get like some of the hard yards and then Tony
Pollard can come in and be like a little thunder and lightning. Yeah. I mean, I love whenever
a backfield claims they have thunder and lightning. That definitely that definitely could be one.
Remember, Lindale White and Reggie Bush, the eat and run duo. Yeah, they were awesome. Yeah,
I was actually looking it up. This Tony Pollard is a good is a good lesson that like, if you if you
are going to raise your kids to play one sport, it should be or two sports should be basketball or
baseball, because Tony Pollard is a good NFL running back. He has made three and a half million
dollars total in his career. Yeah, see, he had he was not drafted high as a fourth round pick.
And he hasn't gotten his big contract yet. And that's got to suck. Yeah, he needs to get paid.
So I what's going to happen definitely is he's going to get paid and then he's going to turn into
you. So he's going to try to feature. He's going to look slow. And then the guy behind Tony Pollard,
everybody will be like, yo, does anybody think that this guy is better than Tony Pollard? Right.
Exactly. But I someone's going to like the Jets are going to give him like 40 million dollars.
Yeah, it's just a bummer because he's been good for a while. Yeah. He's looked better than Ezekiel
and Ezekiel is getting paid so much more money. The only other thing I had was that
halftime was so awkward where Joe Buck, unfortunately, had to interview Jimmy Kimmel.
That sucked. Yeah, I hated it because that's boomers time. Yeah, Chris Berman should have
been on my television. Well, and also Jimmy Kimmel, like I just Jimmy Kimmel seems like a nice guy,
but like the comedian that he has become knowing the comedian he was like, it just sucks to watch
him because he's just become like this like super safe, like, haha, like here's the joke.
It's going to be the joke that I've said a million times like, dude, you used to the man show.
We used to watch, you know, girls jump on trampolines used to be the guy. No times have
changed used to be the guy that would make your dog wear a mask so that when it walked in the room
while you were jacking off, it looked like a hot chick. Right. And now you're talking to Joe Buck
and being like, haha, my workout routine is really tough. You know, I'm religious about that. I'm
I'm going to go on Howard Stern tomorrow. Is that crazy? Yeah, my family's watching the game here
and then my other family's betting on the game in Las Vegas. So I mean, gambling's legalized
everywhere. Yeah, I've got Guillermo. He loves the cowboys. Joe Buck, you could tell he was like,
dude, I just want to take a piss. Yeah, let me take a piss and the audio at the end. I don't know
if you guys noticed it was crazy. It was wild to watch. It was so out of sync. It was I said it
in the moment. I was like, it's like when you find a porn video that's out of sync and you're
like, what's going on here? Like you they would snap the ball and then you'd hear the snap and
then you'd hear the whistle like well after a flag was thrown. I don't know what ESPN is doing,
but clean that shit up. I don't know what porn you're watching. I mean, that's old school like
when you look it up and you're like, you you've never watched a video where the audio is out of
sync. I honestly like back in the day, I don't I've watched scrambled porn. No, when you like
find a video, it's just like it's not lined up. Sometimes this is weird and sometimes that happens
when you're like trying to fast forward through the video and you restart it halfway and you have
bad internet way back in the day. Yeah, that might be it. Like when you try to I think that's I think
that still happens when the when the audio is just fucked up. Anyone want to back me up? No one's
ever. All right. A lot of people are saying that they agreed. No. Okay. All right. I'm out on an
island. I guess I'm the only one who's ever seen a video where the audio is fucked up on a porn.
I want I want to be in that boat with a big cat. Billy. Jake and I grew up with like high
internet streaming. I'm not even I don't think it's an age issue. Are you talking about like
there's some bad videos out there that like you try to watch it and it's just like, all right,
well, this audio is just fucked up. Are you talking about online or like a dvd online online?
No, dvd is clean. I think I feel like what you're talking about is online when you try to fast
forward way back in the day and your internet was slow. So when it would recalibrate, I'm gonna find
one sometimes. Please do. I don't think it's a I'm not even talking about an internet thing. It's
just this happens. Well, throw it in the YouTube. People will people will back me up on this. This
definitely happens where it's like, wait, these don't match up. It's like there's moaning and then
they're there. They still have their clothes on or something. What's going on? Well, all right.
That's fine. I'll just be stuck out here by myself on horny Island guys. No, it's not even horny.
Those videos suck, but they happen. I've seen him before. Thank you. Hey, why were you holding
back? Oh, now you're saying no. It's just trying to make a lot of people were agreeing with me
online. So I guess I'll just be on my own. I remember that big cat. Yeah, no, that's fine. I don't
need. I don't need pity. You guys Jake. Do you remember that? I'll do some research. I can't say
I've had any personal experiences at that issue. I don't want to think of you watching porn. I'd
like bumps me out. No offense to you, but it does like you're not. I just you're our darling Jake.
You don't do that stuff. Yeah, you don't touch yourself.

today and we did guys on chicks already, but Hank, you alluded to this. And I would like to
hear what Jake and Billy say as Yankee fans. Are we concerned about Aaron judge at this point?
It feels like it's concerning time. I kind of think you might be overswing. Yeah, I think
here's a lot of pressure. I think he needs, he needs the Albert Pujol's dick ball that's like
juice to the gills as well. He needs that. He's going to do it on Friday night when I am there.
Oh, so shot 61 and 62. He's gonna hit one of them. He might hit one of them. He's going to hit.
Yeah, one of them. How many games are left? Nine. Okay, if there was a way nine at the time of this
recording, if there was a way for big cats to hit his bet and for everybody else out there that took
big cats bet to win their bet and still have him fail at it, that's what I want to have happen.
Because it is not possible. It would be, I know, but I'm just saying like, I can't root against it
because big cat has money. The people more than me. And I won't do that. But I gave it to the people.
It would be, it would be very, it'd be very funny if he, if he just got stuck on 60. It is. It is
weird. Yeah. It'd be hilarious. Yeah, no, I don't even care. I'm rooting for the people as well. But
yeah, it doesn't, the bet strikes out. It's, it's one of those kind of hits. Yeah. It's one of
those bets that if I per, if I just personally took it and I hadn't put it on our sportsbook
app and the people hadn't rode with me, I wouldn't care. Like if it was like, you could lose money,
but also this would be hilarious. I'd be all in. Like that would be very funny. But I do feel bad
for the people because people rode the bet and it'd be a real shame. I know you're rooting against
me. No, I'm not. I just said I'm for the people. Once he has 61, I think it would be a shame.
He's off. Yeah. I think a lot of it, a lot of it goes away and we could see two in a game.
I think he'll probably go, he's going to get it. He's going to get it, but it'd be,
it'd be very funny if he did the greatest, the stat I saw because this is, it is weird that the
whole conversation is about and Hank has alluded to this like 62 when we're just erasing Barry
Bonds from the history books, but and Sammy and Mark. Yeah. And Sammy and Mark multiple times.
And, uh, but I did see last night Aaron judge took his 18th intentional walk this year. Yeah.
The guys are avoiding him too. Right. Barry Bonds. So funny. Barry Bonds had 120 intentional walks
in 2004. How absurd is that? That's crazy. And 120 loaded. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. I think he got
walked twice in his career. That's how fucking crazy he was. Yeah. Also one thing we talked about
it with Jeter in a few minutes, but Jeter's last hit was a home game at night in September
against the Orioles. This weekend, Friday night, home game, September at night against the Orioles.
The signs. That's not that wild. The signs. That's pretty wild. No, you always finish your
season against the division. No, Hank, how many, I mean, I agree with Hank on this. I can look at
the Yankee schedule last time. So late September and turn that W upside down against the Orioles.
I'll look it up. How many times Aaron judge walked this year? It is really correct. Like they should,
every night should just be like, Hey, remember Sammy Sosa? I mean, remember Barry Bonds and
how fucking absurd he was. Also, that should happen. 101 walks. 101 walks this year.
Barry Bonds had in his year that he hit 73 home runs. He had 177 walks. George had 127 in 2017.
In 2004, the year that he was intentionally walked 120 times, he had 232 walks. That's
fucking ridiculous. That's absurd. That's absurd. Getting on base that much. So that's the year
where if he had gone to bat without a bat every single time, he would have, I think, still led
the league in on base percentage. It's it's stupid. It's stupid and never swung at a single pitch.
Yeah. So, uh, yeah, it's interesting because we talked about this record a little bit last week,
and we said how, okay, it's basically it's a Yankee record, which they're saying. Yeah. So
we said Yankee, and then I had several people reply to me being like, dude, it's the AL record
that is going. Nobody gives a shit about an AL record. Like that's not a thing that people care
about. No, I get that the number 61 does have some meaning in American culture. Yes. When it
goes baseball, that absolutely. I acknowledge that 100%. Yeah, it's not a right. It's not really
a record. It is the Yankee record, which sounds lame when you put it that way. But it does have
a meaning because it was it was the number that everybody grew up with as being unattainable.
Right. Like nobody there was actually discussion that we had back in the in the early to mid 90s
before the steroid thing. Will anybody ever hit 60 home runs in a season again? And people are
like, no, it's not going to be possible. Yeah. Pitching is too good. Yeah. And the fact that
it's happening, it's kind of cool. But at the same time, it would be fucking hilarious if Aaron
Judge just strikes out every at bat in the season. I don't want I don't want it to happen. But you
have to admit it'd be funny. It also just because we're talking baseball records, it just reminds
me that Joe DiMaggio's record is just the most 56 games in a row with getting a hit is just so
stupid. That is so stupid. If we're doing a list, that will never be the most unbreakable records.
I would say the the hitting streak and then Ricky Henderson's stolen base record and Cal Ripken
probably just because everyone takes breaks now. Yeah. You know, you guys see Tommy's tweet about
the records? What went viral? MLB posted top five most unbreakable MLB records and number five was
Cy Young throwing 749 complete games. That was number five on the list. That's pretty crazy.
It was MLB on Fox. What else was on there? Wainwright and Yachty. 325 starts as battery. Yeah. Number
three was DiMaggio's hitting streak. And number two was Otani's 10 plus wins and 30 plus homers.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's pretty crazy. Shohei Otani should be the MVP. Yeah. Number one was
Barry Bonds' all-time home run record. What about I think the I think the hitting streak
record is should be number one. I think Ted Williams had like 15 confirmed kills in World War
II and then hit 404. That'll probably never be done again. That's true. That's a fact. All right.
What else we got? What else we got before we do hot seat cool throw? Little college football. Miami
sucks. Yep. Miami is bad. It was kind of. Yeah. There wasn't like there's no change at the top. Ohio
State's really fucking good. Tennessee Rocks. Yeah. Tennessee's back. Hinden Hooker for Heisman.
When they play Alabama, that's going to be like it. That is one of those games that if Tennessee
can can lose by less than 10, then I'm like, ooh, they might actually be back. But it has the
potential of a classic like Alabama just every time a team in the SEC like hops up for a second.
They're like, haha, no, no, no. There's a lot of Alabama. You're right. There's absolutely levels
when it comes to the SEC football where you can be an average team. You can be a good team.
Then there's the next level of a team that's so good that they can keep it within one score of
Alabama. Right. Like a team or Georgia in this case now. Yeah. Makes Alabama nervous. And then
there's the boss level that Georgia is the first team to ever really get up that level since Nick
Saban's been down there where it's like they are kind of low key favored against Alabama. Right.
They're going to go on. There's going to be multiple years now where it's like the spread is less
than a touch because, you know, obviously LSU's championship season, but then it was disappeared.
Georgia is now sustaining. Hey, we're on the same level issue. Yep. I also saw earlier today
one of the old BCS computers. You remember the old computer formulas that they had? Yeah. There's
an old BCS computer that still does their BCS formula and publishes it every week. They had
Jamie ranked number 11 in the country. Wow. That's huge. So it's a pretty smart computer.
Kansas not being ranked as a travesty as well. That is stupid. It's just that's a total helmet
ranking. Yes. If they were any like if Kansas were USC, same resume, they'd be like three in the
country. Yeah. That's why pre like preseason rankings and rankings in September are so stupid.
Yep. Yeah. Texas is back to being not back. Yep. Facts. Officially. Facts. Yeah. Horns down
everywhere. Washington might be good. Yeah. Dana Beers, our good friend. He got Texas Tech
a $50,000 fine. Just him. What'd he do? Well, no, it wasn't just him, but there was actually some,
there were some Texas Tech fans pushing players, which was fucked up. But Dana didn't push any
players, but Dana went up to the mascot and did a horns down right in his face in front of the
cheerleaders and sportsmen like Conductor. So the actual like AP story saying Texas Tech has been
fined for $50,000 for like rushing the field has Dana as the picture. Yeah. So it looks like he's
the one who did it. Lifetime Texas Tech fan. Yes. Dana Beers. I mean, he has to choose Texas Tech.
No, I think it'd be even funnier if he got them a $50,000 fine and then left. Yeah. I mean,
but he like that's an all time being able to go see that game. And that was I think the first time
they beat a ranked opponent at home for forever since Crabtree. You've watched more Big Ten than
I have this year, Big Cat. Is it time that we start having the discussion about Penn State being
ranked in the top four? Oh, no, Penn State is good. Penn State is good, but Penn State has Sean
Clifford. So he is the, he's kind of, I don't want to say he's Kirk Cousins because that would
probably be mean to Sean Clifford. He is Kirk Cousins won a few games. He did. He did. Didn't
win that Big Ten Championship game against Wisconsin. Even those, well, it was a revenge
game for Wisconsin, but Sean Clifford is the guy who Penn State will get to a point. And I think
they are very good, but he will throw just a backbreaking interception and every Penn State
fan will be like, why did I believe in Sean Clifford? Yeah, that will happen. They know it's
going to happen. Ride the wave until it happens. But holy shit, that's going to happen. Drew
Aller, Drew Aller is going to come in at some point. The backup. Yeah. He had Will Leavis.
I know. And yeah. Yeah. But was that a fair assessment because you are a Penn State fan
max? Like that's a fair assessment. Yeah. I have zero, zero faith in him. Yeah. But like he is
going to, Penn State's good enough and Singleton is really, really fucking good. And it's going to be,
get to that point where Penn State's there, Penn State's there, and then it'll be like,
what the fuck? Why didn't we bring in Aller? Yeah. Well, yeah. Why did Sean Clifford throw that ball?
And so, yeah, in Ohio State looks like world beaters as usual. Is Ohio State the most boring,
awesome team of all time? In terms of a franchise, that game was never even closed.
If you look at their, their colors, their whole vibe, the aesthetic, the campus.
Yeah. I feel like Ohio State is a very boring machine of devastation.
Yeah. I think, I think it comes down to when they had Urban Meyer, there was still the allure of like
Urban Meyers of Psycho and they could still lose to like Purdue or Iowa of randomly. And now it
just feels like they are a true like corporate machine. Well, it goes back to Jim Trestle when
he used to wear the sweater vest and the tie to every game. Every game was pretty much a board
meeting. Right. They were going to come out on top because they had stacked the seats in the boards.
They had all the votes and then it would, they would just kind of methodically move on and move
forward. Yeah. Like run the ball, play solid defense. That's kind of what Ohio State did.
Yeah. Now, even though they have incredible playmakers, a quarterback and wide receiver
for the last several seasons, they still have that like boring ass vibe to them. Yeah. I just can't
get, I can't get amped up for Ohio State. Yeah. I mean, they, they do just run through the entire
Big Ten and we'll see if Michigan can duplicate it. Although I think they, Michigan State stinks.
The game against Penn State, that's at Penn State. So that will be Ken Penn State survive the
Sean Clifford disaster. Tune in. Everyone's, everyone's waiting on baited breath. Yeah.
Spoiler alert. He will not survive. Sean Clifford disaster. Well, I mean, they survived Christian
Hackenburg. Yeah. But this is Sean Clifford is, is, is a quarterback that is just built to
get your hopes all the way up and then just demolish them. I want to see one of those YouTube
compilation videos of the people do for various colleges and like certain areas and time when
they go back and do like a very heavy, heavy breathing voiceover and walk you through what
happened. I want somebody to do that with Christian Hackenburg and explain to me how Christian
Hackenburg played forever in college football. And then he gets to the NFL and it's like,
this guy can't throw a ball seven yards. He's how did that? How is that possible? He is,
he's a good lesson that like college football, if they had the one and done, it would be good for
guys like Christian Hackenburg because when he was there, the first year was like, this guy is
incredible and he should be the top pick. And then he just had to play too much college football
where everyone's like, eh, maybe not. Yeah. But it would have been very funny if he got into the
NFL and then at the next level, we got to watch Christian Hackenburg evolve as he did in college,
but against like players like Miles Garrett. Yeah. Yeah. Who? Oh, yeah, yeah. As a Bears
man, I hope he's okay. Yeah. There's a big, a lot of that, like as a Steelers fan. I treat every
treated that poor guy. He probably woke up and was like, what the fuck just happened because it was
the actual news article being like, Miles Garrett suffered a severe crash. He flipped over a bunch
of times. Yeah. His Porsche looked like completely mangled. And then there's one guy, the first
response under it was as a Steelers fan, like I'm rooting for him to survive. It was Steelers fan
here. I hope both of them are okay. Also, I hope he's on the field this Sunday or very soon.
Appreciate that. That's nice. That's nice. I'm, I'm, I, as a fan of football, I'm happy that Miles
Garrett didn't die in a car crash. Yeah. So wait, this guy is a Steelers fan. And he said, I hope
he's on the field this week. Do you think he would have included that part at the end? Oh,
no, car crash. It happened exactly seven days ago. Definitely not. If it was last Tuesday,
would that guy have been like, I hope he's on the field in two days? Yeah, I don't know. I don't
know. He would have been like Steelers fan here. Happy. He's okay. Probably a sign that, you know,
life's bigger. Some things are bigger than sports. Maybe he should retire. Steelers fan here.
Just hoping that he takes all the time necessary to make a full and complete recovery. Yes. That's
what he would say. Yes. Absolutely. All right. Let's do hot seat cool throne. Hot seat cool

My hot seat is anyone with the Spurs Championship future. Oh yeah. Okay. Media day was yesterday.
Bunch of stuff. I like how the NBA does it all in one day. Yeah. Zion Williamson looks great.
James Harden lost a bunch of weight. Yeah. Tweet that he said. And then Greg Popovich just outwardly
said it. No one here should go to Vegas and bet on this team to win a championship. If you bet
in the Barça Sportsbook, $10 you'd win a hundred grand if they do win the championship. So is that
it? It's good value. I'm going to I'm going to sprinkle a little bit on that, but I don't know.
I'll probably get in trouble for that. I don't think you can just say that, but I respect the
honesty. Yeah. He was nice. And that makes me, I mean, my brain, the gambling brain that I have
is like, he knows something definitely bad on them. Yeah. I agree with you. Yeah. He's trying
to get us off the scent. Nice try, Greg. Got to sprinkle. Yeah. And then my cool throne, I thought
about putting it on my hot seat, but I don't want to sound like too much of a hater, but NASA's on
the cool throne. Yeah, that was mine. They launched a spaceship into a comet. Yeah, they launched
a fullback. I didn't like it. You didn't like it? I mean, the video, the video also like wasn't, it was,
it was, it was like clip art. Yeah, it was choppy like you're watching, you know, old porn. How
is that possible? We billions of dollars of billions and billions and billions of dollars
go into these things and they, they can't get like an HD camera that frames aren't jumping every
two seconds. My first reaction was similar to that. It looked like claymation. Yeah. My first
reaction was like, this is stop action animation. We spent probably hundreds of million dollars on
this billions, however much it was. But then I thought to myself, just wait because they'll have
a second camera that was set up somewhere that has the HD footage and then we'll get to watch that.
It's going to look awesome. It was just waiting on that special effects. It was my, it was my
cool throne just because they totally did this as just like, Hey, look, we can prove that we did
this. It's not like an asteroid is going to come and blow us all up. Like, it was just fun. Like
we did, we just wanted to prove to ourselves that we can do this. No one worry about a potential
asteroid killing us all. Haha. That's what, that was my big takeaway. Like you just spent all that
money to see that you could attach to it. Like, you know, throw a, what was it, a refrigerator,
basically at a rock 70 million space years away. I feel like we have a big asteroid coming soon.
We drop so many bombs on earth every day. Why don't we just throw all those bombs and blow
something up and develop a point system and compete, make it like a space Olympics. Oh,
so like you're saying that game space invaders, you put a bounty. Yeah. It's like big buck hunter
except for asteroids. And we like compete with like other countries and space programs. That's
actually Billy. You've said a lot of really good things on the show. That's probably the smartest
idea you've ever come up with. And we just compete that way. So it's like, yeah, you want to blow
shit up like whoever blows up that one first wins. I like it. And the winner gets like, I don't
know, mining rights to certain natural resources. So your country is incentivized to get better
at the space defenders game. Yeah, it's just an Olympics out in space and winner gets all the land.
Yeah, that's fucking awesome. Yeah, that would be cool. I'm sure we can agree on this. Yeah,
Billy for you in. Yeah. Yeah, I love it. Okay. Your hot seat cool throw in PFT. My hot seat is
society, American society to be specific, all of us, we participate in it. Because
dude perfect is building $100 million dude facility in somewhere in Texas undisclosed
location, an amusement park for dudes who like being perfect. And I think we're going to look
back on this in, you know, the history books and 300 400 500 years and whatever country takes over
the United States we're at right now and study like signs of American decline. Why did this empire
fall? Was it was it Trump? Was it Biden and inflation? Was it Putin launching a battlefield
nuke in Ukraine? No, it was Kobe, Corey, Garrett, purple hoser, beard guy and beard guy's dad,
building a giant monument to themselves in central Texas to the tune of $150 million.
That is the tipping point of our society as a whole. I want to hate it so bad, but at this point
it looks jealousy. It looks sick. It's like these guys just basically have cracked the code of living
a dream life. I do still think it would suck to have to like work there because you have to be
nice to everyone all the time. Like think about that. It's like if the Texas A&M yell leaders
had their like took their ayahuasca and imagine their perfect life. We're living inside of
Ol' Rock's fever dream right now in College Station. That's what Dude Perfect is. What was the
what was the who was the rapper that we had on that that has a he's trying to Acon? Acon. Yeah,
he's yeah. It's Acon's new future. Yes, Acon. It's Acon for white guys. Yes, exactly. I also
liked that they threw out like, Hey, we're thinking about going somewhere else, which
that's a great move of like who's going to give us the least amount of taxes. So wait,
the dudes are doing the NFL owner thing. Yeah, they were they were like, we're going to pack up
and we're going to pack up and move the dudes out of town. Yeah, they were like, we would like it
to be in Texas because we're from Texas, but Atlanta, possibly you like, you know, LA, possibly
you. It's like who's going to who's going to basically use all the city's money to build
us this beautiful place. It's like what Amazon did when they were looking for H2 and AOC like
close it down in New York. Yes. Yes. So they're just getting everyone's hopes up. But yeah,
I'm sure it will be in San Antonio. So yeah, the dudes. Yeah, they did it again. They did it again.
I did it again. Yeah. And then my cool throne is the number six. The number six is on the cool
throne. Alex Caruso wears number six. Yes, he does. And he is trying to change his Jersey
number out of respect, out of respect for Bill Russell, because they're going to retire Bill
Russell's Jersey. They're letting everyone that currently wears number six continue to wear it.
Alex Caruso being the classy guy that he is, he decided he wanted to move on and show that
respect to Bill Russell and the NBA is not letting him do it. So they're forcing him to wear the
number six throughout the entire season. I think it's because Alex Caruso sells so many jerseys.
He's top 75 jersey sale. Yeah, he's a top 70. That's got to do some good stuff for his top shot
that I have. Right. Like that shows that there's a market out there for Caruso collectors.
That also feels a lot like and I'm a huge Caruso fan. That does feel like over nine MLK
memorabilia. Like he's probably 75th. Yes. Did they say, oh, they said top 75.
Yeah, top 75. So they just took whatever number Alex Caruso was going to be. He's top 82.
I know he might be 74. I think I think I can name off the top of my head. I think I can name
exactly 75 NBA players. I mean, Alex Caruso's the man. So it makes sense. He is the man.
So he's he's going to be wearing number six this year. But just out of respect,
just imagine that it's a different number. Yes. Yes. Okay. So I already did my cool throne with
the with the totally like fake, you know, like, oh, we're just going to throw this at the asteroid
and it's not going to it's not because we're practicing for something. My hot seat is the Nets
media day. The Nets, all of them getting together. Kevin Durant was basically like,
there was a lot. He said there was a lot of uncertainty around our team last year. We came
to a mutual agreement that we should keep moving forward. And I think Kyrie said something like,
yeah, it's pretty awkward. This is not going to work. This is so awesome. They basically,
they basically spent an entire summer saying the shittiest things about each other being like,
September will never come. We'll never have to be in the same room again together. And
September is here. And it's just as awkward as you thought it would be. Yep. I love it. I love
it so much. I mean, the team is going to be about the same as it was last year. Well,
there's it's going to be even more hilarious than it was last year. Yeah. Imagine if they're just
good. I can't wait. Honestly, because you don't know what you're going to get from the Nets this
year, but you do know that it's not going to be normal. Yeah, I hope they're really, really good
and then get swept in the first round. That would never happen. That would be very funny.
That would never. They're going to wamp whoever they play in the first round. Easy wamping.
Billy, my hot seat is the Buccaneers stadium staff. So we saw Aaron Rodgers said he saw
something on the Jumbotron post game against the Bucs. So did some internet sleuthing and there's
no footage of it, but the rumor that's going around from recent tweets from in the stadium at the
time of the game before Rodgers said anything, as well as Reddit posts, apparently from the hearsay
on the Jumbotron was a shot over Tom Brady's shoulder of a huddle and seeing the flood right
two point conversion play, which if you look at the defense, the Packers played to defend that
play, you see that there was six guys in the area of the flood. So that's a little over balancing
of a defensive coverage, even though it was going right. But they think that Aaron Rodgers saw this
on the Jumbotron on the surface pad that showed a flood right play. And that's how they knew what
the two point conversion was. I thought the Bucs stadium staff was going to be on the hot seat
because the Hurricanes about to wreck all their lives. Yeah. From the standpoint of water. Yeah.
They're on the hot seat. They have to wash away. They have to worry about their families right now.
Yeah. Is it is it legal? That's good sleuthing, Billy. Is it legal to look at the scoreboard?
Because I know that refs aren't supposed to look at the scoreboard at all, right? Yeah,
for replays and stuff. Yeah. But it should be. There was a tweet that was done before that post
game speech was even made. So that's why I'm cutting cutting to the point and thinking that it was
real. Yeah. Or Hank, you now's the time to be like some somehow they're going to blame Tom Brady for
this and suspend them for games. You said it on me. No, I'll tell you exactly why. The league
issued a memo saying that, hey, Tom Brady, you're not allowed to smash tablets anymore. And so Tom
Brady would have smashed that tablet. And instead it caught him holding the tablet, which was then
broadcast into the Jumbotron that gave the play to Aaron Rodgers. So if Brady had, if it was up to
him, he would have smashed that tablet a long time ago. It sounds like the debratification of the NFL
yet once again. And my cool throne is Wake Force head coach Dave Clausen. So during their game,
the game against Clemson. So as some of you know, Davos, Swinney's sons are on the team and they're
in places where you can kind of hide them like holder, you know, fourth quarter wide receiver.
I'm going to push back on that because I don't think you can hide at holder.
Right. But you're either good or you're not. Yeah, it's a very simple job.
Okay. I hate her. I've been a holder. Really? Yeah. When I was like third string quarterback.
Okay. It's an easy job. So you're going to piss some people off with that one, Billy.
Okay. Holder Germany's going to be real mad. If you're a decent, if you're like can catch,
like they put like freshmen as holders. Billy's about to be canceled. I know. I know the holders
are going to get pissed. It's high pressure. And if you're at Clemson, you screw up a hold,
you got you got Potter kicking. Like there's a big magnifying glass on you now. You got your dad
as a coach. Well, I think that's why I think we need to do more respecting of the holder community
and especially of, of Swinney, whatever will Swinney.
Drew Swinney. I don't know. Well, Drew Swinney is the one I'm talking about,
but Drew Swinney was on kick return and several times throughout the game, the Wake Forest kicker
kicked it directly at Swinney. So they were trying to expose him in their kick return and they did.
He caught it, returned it for nine yards to the Clemson 19, the Clemson 15, the Clemson 11,
and it got to the point where Dabbo had to take his son and put a kid in. So I mean,
I like that. That's just, that's just great. That's good coaching on the way.
Like just attack. And then when he, they put a new guy in, they did the same thing and he took it
like to this, to the 30. I mean, that's, it's a genius move to be like, that's the coach's son.
We know why he's on field at this point. I like it. I like Jake finishes soft.
My hot seat is smiling. There's this new movie coming out called Smile. Oh yeah.
And they're planting people at sporting events with creepy smiles. It's going viral.
I saw that in the other day. There was a West Coast game. It was a Sunday night football.
Yeah. There was also a baseball game that they were doing it at front row. It's weird.
So if you're just smiling, you're going to get on camera. No, it's creepy smile.
Yeah. They plan a member when they did, I think, didn't they do this for it? Yeah.
Show up places. Yeah. They actually never claimed that because it became such an issue.
Right. And then there was copycats who were just causing chaos. So they're like,
we're going to release this movie two years later. Yeah.
Be on the lookout for anyone who's smiling. They're probably up to something.
Yeah. Yeah. And my cool throne is actually the two of you guys. Oh, you are both in the final
few groupings of the bar still mini golf invitational final round airs tomorrow night.
Back nine PFT at the moment. You're one back of Jeff D low big cat. You're going to need a
little bit of a miracle. You're five back with nine to play. I had a, I had a mental issue.
I'm not the mental game, but it's why I can shoot a 72 one day and a 132 the next. Yeah.
So you're both in the mix round five aired last night, Tuesday. It's on the bar still sports
YouTube. Okay. And we will crown a champion Thursday night. Great cool throne. Also cool
throne Jake because you should use promo code Jake on the bar still sports store.
Billy does not return to talk, Billy. I actually wanted to plug there.
We have fake spaces, fake t-shirts. If you like that. No, no, no. Yeah. Use promo code Jake.
Use promo code Jake 10% off. It ends on Wednesday at one o'clock. If you're listening in the morning,
you can do it. Yeah. Please help out. Use promo code Jake so that suit Hank can't win this and
Billy, we don't want Billy Billy's fake charity offer. We can't have that either. That was a
pathetic display of fake charity. How is it fake charity? I'm giving my money and then I'm giving
the rest and I'm going to put all the money on on a bet. And if I win the bet, I'll give the
winnings to charity. So if I was charity, I wouldn't take bill. I already, I already chose my charity.
What is it? Save the frogs.org. Okay. So have you chosen your bet?
That's the more on the Thursday night game. Well, that's more important because if you lose the
bet and frogs are going to die. I think I'm going to charity you started for yourself. No,
it's actually an amphibian conservation organization to protect chitra fungus. Save the
frogs. Save the frogs.com first order business arrest Billy football so we can't fuck any frogs
to death. But shout out Jake. We all hope that Jake wins. Jake does a great job as you've just
heard promoting other people all the time. Correct. This is a good way to get back and
say thank you Jake for all that you do. Here's some money. Hank, would you like to say promo
code Jake? Sure. Promo code Jake and go watch the mini golf. Okay. Nice. Wow. That's nice. I won't
use promo code Jake. That's really nice. Don't don't. Hank, why say it? Hank, why did you say it
that way? I'm just curious how why are you so openly promoting Jake? I feel like you just made
a great point. He's always promoting it. Is that why is that why you're promoting him right now?
Good point. PFT. Is there another reason why? I just want what's best for the company and what's
best for the company is merch orders. I don't know if that's necessarily true. I think that
there might be some shenanigans. I don't know what you're talking about. I actually feel bad for
Jake. Why? Shenanigans. Oh, is there something going on? There might have been some shenanigans.
Are we keeping the shenanigans? I didn't know that it was a no. I mean, this won't air till later.
So a secret shenanigan. Use promo code Billy if you're anti shenanigans. Tell me the shenanigans.
I want to hear the shenanigans. Hank put a full court press on Jake and Billy yesterday.
Not a full court press at all. It was a full court press and said, I offered them a deal
and they took it. They could have not taken it. Hank pretty much put a gun to their head and said,
I'm going to do a stream tonight and on this stream, which I did for every order that I get,
I'm going to stay on the stream as long as necessary, which I did and I plan on staying
on the stream until nine o'clock in the morning and not going to sleep at night.
Now, unless you guys want to team up with me and second place, we can all split it together.
When Jake took the deal, so we took the deal. So basically the way Hank phrased it was,
take the deal or I'm going to ensure, or Hank's going to ensure he gets second place.
I'm going to gun for second place as hard as I possibly can.
Hold on one second. I'm still in this competition.
Yes, you are. I knew this was going to happen. I knew this was going to happen.
Should we maybe do a different deal with me?
I already have my deal handshake also.
I'll make a deal with you guys. If you guys want to make a deal with me,
I'll go five. I've done like two tweets.
I'll make a deal with you.
I could go full port press on everyone's ass.
If you go, wait, I'll make a deal with you.
Okay. I'll make a deal with you too.
Because Hank can't over, Hank thought, Hank phrased it as though he was like about to
overtake all of us because he's the only one who can see the numbers, but he couldn't last.
That's not true. I can't see the numbers.
I did phrase it in a way that would you guys like to do with me?
You guys took the deal.
I'll give you half the money if you promo me because I made a lot.
Yeah, but like you're doing the Mac from Always Sunny right now.
I could make two deals.
Honestly, honestly, I think that we should cut this part out because I,
no, wait, wait, because I shouldn't have said anything because Jake was worried that
the AWOs will get mad at him for taking a deal. I didn't want to put you out there.
Jake kind of got lost.
I apologize. I just want Hank was going to put it out anyway.
I was already putting out this video.
The video is already made.
So my question is, let me ask you a question.
Let me ask you a question.
Be first.
Let me ask you a question.
I was born second.
Okay.
Hank's basically robbing Jake.
Let me ask you a question.
I didn't do anything.
You guys, I offered you a deal and you took it.
Okay. So that's your question.
So now my question is that wrong?
Yeah, you've strong-armed, you're their boss.
I could,
PFT, we could, I know, we could just,
we could just push mine and I,
we could just go like fucking crazy on my promo code.
Wait, what about that?
And I could just give it all to Jake.
Maybe me, you and Max will split it.
And memes.
And memes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That would be nice.
Wouldn't that be nice?
How much money is it?
I think it's like 15, 25,000.
Hank, how much money is it?
First is 15, second and third splits.
It's eight for second, two for third.
Oh, so if I went really hard.
What if we, what if we pushed yours and then we,
we gave that money to Kate?
That also wins all of it.
Yeah.
Actually, no, I think we should give,
I think we should give it to Jake.
Well, the problem is-
Because all, all Jake did,
he was trying to do the right thing
and Hank just came in like a fucking banshee
and was like, hey, you need to do what I say
or else I'm going to fuck up your world.
Well, that's pretty much what I thought.
Yes.
Hank was going to make my next 48 hours miserable
or take the deal.
What are you talking about?
I'm going to go as hard as I can to come in second place
if you don't take the deal.
You said you were going to do it out of spite.
Hank is the only one regret the insight into the numbers as well.
Yeah, that's, that should have come up and asked me.
I think, I think the difference between Hank and I
is actually several hundreds.
This is an unbelievable, an unbelievable sob story
of making your guys sound like the victim.
I can't even believe what I'm hearing.
I mean, no, I, you did your job.
How old are you?
Are you a child?
I took the deal.
You pushed him.
Yeah.
I, I took the deal.
Was there a lawyer person?
The worst part about this deal is that I benefit
more than Hank does.
I don't, I don't want to get in the details of it.
I just, and I was saying, I'll side later.
Maybe we, I don't know.
I just wanted to be, because the problem I'm wrestling with
is if I want to go crazy, I'm going to have to like
work all night and I don't want to do that.
So the good thing is, they don't have memes,
just take over my account and just fucking,
just tweet nonstop.
The good thing is this entire thing is documented
and will be on PMTV on Thursday.
So you can watch it.
That's the entire thing that happened there
and make your own decisions.
Are you strong arming next?
I personally think that I, I still want to see Jake
come in second.
Me too.
Because I don't, I don't think that Jake
can surpass Kate right now, because she's got a lead.
I want, I still want Jake to get the money.
That's why I started to promote Jake to the beginning.
I did do a handshake deal, whether I regret it
or not, it's a different story, but I did do that
and I will honor that.
Okay.
If it ends up.
I'm going to continue.
I also already told Jake I wasn't going to take the
money from him.
That's getting, you know, not, not factored in.
Cut that part, Max.
I'm going to continue.
But then Jake's like, oh, you made me do it.
I never said that.
I'm going to continue to promote Jake and Jake can do
with his money, whatever he wants to do once he gets it.
If that's, you know, give it to whoever, out of the
goodness of his heart.
That's what Jake does.
It's just more evidence that Jake is a team player
that he took this deal to begin with,
which is further evidence of why we should use his
promo code.
Yes.
Okay.
So tune in.
We'll let you know who wins on Wednesday at one o'clock.
Merchant Palooza.
Tears this company apart.
You happy, Hank?
Promo code, Billy.
Promo code, Jake.
Promo code, Jake.
Promo code, Jake.
Promo code, Jake.
Promo code, Jake.
I just, I just don't want Hank to beat me.
But you're splitting it evenly.
You took the deal.
Promo code, Jake.
Promo code, Hank.
The only thing that can fuck you now is this guy.
I know.
That's what I do.
Yeah.
Don't make a deal.
So I might newcomer might, might, might steal the show.
All right.

And here he is Derek Jeter.
Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest.
It is Derek Jeter, the captain, Hall of Famer.
He also has a new apparel brand called Greatness Wins,
which I was looking at the site.
Looks like great stuff.
You're doing with Wayne Gretzky.
Is this year like, I can just name a company
whatever I want because I'm Derek Jeter moment
because Greatness Wins, like if I had an apparel company
be like Mediocrity, you probably will still look fat,
but you have Greatness Wins.
You know what?
I'm going to be honest with you.
Look, I obviously throughout my career,
I'm wearing athletic apparel, right?
For everything that I do.
And I think one, you know, one thing you realize
is when you're an athlete, I mean,
you have certain tools that help you form
and, you know, playing baseball.
Obviously it's a baseball and a bat.
Those aren't going to change.
But athletic apparel, you know,
we start thinking about what would you do differently?
I've been blessed.
I've had great relationships with a couple of athletic
brands throughout my career.
And I wanted to just focus on performance first.
You know, that's what's most important
and quality, fit, consistency, sustainability.
But I do encourage everyone.
Thanks for going on our side.
I encourage everyone to go take a look, order something.
GreatnessWins.com and I'm very confident
you're going to circle back and order some more.
So it's something that I'm extremely proud of.
I started having conversations with my partner
probably about a year and a half ago.
And a guy by the name of Chris Riccobono
who started on Tuck It.
And we had those conversations and here we are.
You know, about a year and a half later
we launched our brand and, you know,
you talk about the name, GreatnessWins.
I think a lot of times people look at Greatness
and they think it's an ultimate goal.
I look at it as a mindset, you know.
So I look at, you know, having that mindset
and anything that you want to achieve.
So I appreciate you checking it out.
You need to order some.
I'll send some to you guys.
And I expect to start seeing you wear it.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Who would you say has more greatness?
You or Wayne Gretzky?
Ooh.
Well, Wayne's the great one.
I mean, I'm not even going to go down that path.
I mean, he's the one.
Yeah, I think that's probably fair.
We're going to get into, I'm sure,
a lot of your career and your playing days.
But I'd like to start off, if it's okay with you,
with a personal gripe that I have with you.
Sure.
You only have one, that's a good thing.
Well, I've got several and we can get to the rest.
But the biggest one by far,
and I think a lot of our fans want to hear this ask to you
and really hold your feet to the fire.
Why did you take down the Miami statue in the outfield
of the Marlins that would go up in circles
every time they'd hit a home run?
We didn't take it down.
We moved it.
OK.
Why did you remove it?
It seems like, you know, like we can,
we can choose to tear down statues all we want,
but history is still there.
I really wanted that to be left up.
That was my favorite part of that ballpark.
It's still up.
You get down there in Miami much?
We went down for the All-Star game a couple years ago.
I just wish it was still in center field.
So I'd see that big giant fish go up in the air
every time someone hit a home run.
So yeah, no, it's still outside of the park.
So you can go see it.
They actually moved it because we needed the space.
You know, I think you talk about sports nowadays.
You know, fans don't want to sit in their seats
and talk to the person on their left and their right.
They want to move around, have more social spaces.
So it was, we moved that because we needed the space
in center field.
We tear it down.
We moved it.
Yeah, if we're going to do gripes,
I might as well get to my gripe as well.
Do you think things would have gone differently
if you had maybe worked a little more with Marlins Man
and done Marlins Man Mondays that he proposed to you?
He's a friend of ours.
And I don't know, from his perspective,
he dominated the negotiation with you
because I think he offered you a blank check.
But maybe you offered him one.
I can't remember how it went.
But do you think it would have gone a little different
if you had maybe hired him as president of the team
or something?
Differently might be a good way to put it.
I don't know how you define differently,
but it probably would have gone a little bit differently.
I'm pretty sure.
I am positive I didn't offer him a blank check.
Yeah, yeah.
He offered you a blank check.
I might have done it.
Yeah, his demands were reasonable.
I think he wanted to bring the lineup card out
at every home game.
Yeah.
I think he wanted it.
He wanted a day that was literally for him
every single week.
Yeah, I thought he was being more than fair.
When he approached you, and I'm sure this is,
these are the most Marlon's man's questions
that you've ever gotten in an interview.
But when he came up to you at that first town hall
and said, do you know who I am?
Did you know who he was?
I had heard.
I had heard.
You see him on TV every sporting event
with that orange jersey.
So it's hard to miss seeing him there.
But I didn't know who he was.
I knew his name.
And they pointed him out to me before we got started.
Yeah, just to set the record straight,
he's not trying to get on TV.
He's just a big baseball fan that wears his Marlon's jersey
in all the other parks.
And he just happens to get on TV.
So he's not trying to do that.
Exactly, exactly.
Yeah, humbled that.
Yeah, OK, all right.
We're all on the same page.
Yeah, this is good.
We're all Marlon's man's fans.
Yeah, we're all, yeah, this is a good common ground here.
We all know and are close personal friends
with Marlon's man's here.
I got it.
I got it.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, so I mean, your career is so incredible.
I watched the whole documentary.
I was kind of enthralled with it.
Thank you.
What do you think, in terms of the reception
from the documentary, did you walk away being like,
I feel like that was good.
I got my full story out there?
Or are you still like, people don't know the full Derek
Jeter because you had such a private, separate life
from the public persona?
You know what, I'll be honest with you.
When we first started going down this path,
I wanted to film the potential Hall of Fame call
that I was going to get, right?
You know, everyone said you should film it
so you have the footage.
And I wanted to film it so I could share it with my girls.
I had two girls at the time.
They were both very young.
They didn't know what was going on.
So I wanted to film that.
And then if I was to get inducted,
I wanted to film the induction ceremony just so I can have it.
And then that turned into a larger discussion.
And I was asked, you want to do a documentary covering
your entire career?
I said, absolutely not.
I said, absolutely not.
There's just no way I would do it.
And I just started thinking about it more.
And I said, OK, you know, if we're going to go down this path,
I want to make sure, you know, whether there was times
in my career where there was friction here or there,
I wanted everyone else to be able to voice their opinions
and give their side of the story as well.
So turned into seven episodes, man.
I mean, I sat down north of 30-something hours talking about,
I know you guys talk quite a bit,
but you ever talk about yourself for 30-something hours?
You run out of things to say.
So we interviewed north of, I think, 90 people.
And I'm very, very happy with it.
I didn't want to do a puff piece.
Like I said, I wanted to make sure everyone else could chime in
and give them a platform as well.
But I'm happy I did it.
And everything that I've heard has been pretty positive
for the most part.
Yeah, I enjoyed it very much.
Yeah, it's very cool to be able to look back at your career
and have so many people weigh in and kind of see what it
means to other people and see what it meant to yourself
when you're looking back and retroactively at it.
But when you were a kid, when you're growing up,
I have to imagine that, well, for a lot of people,
their dream life would be what your life was,
where you win World Series with the captain of the Yankees.
Everybody has nothing but good things
to say about you throughout your career, for the most part.
And we'll get to maybe some of the detractors later.
I've got some notes later we can get into.
But as a kid, what was your dream?
Did you fall asleep at night thinking I want
to play shortstop for the New York Yankees?
I want to win World Series.
And how did your life actually end up comparing to everything
that you wanted it to be when you were a kid?
Yeah, when I was a kid, my dad played shortstop.
So he was my first role model.
And I wanted to be my dad.
That's why I fell in love with the position.
And I was born in New Jersey.
My grandmother has 14 kids.
And my mom has 13 brothers and sisters.
We used to spend every summer in New Jersey at her house.
And she was the big Yankee fan.
So that's what made me fall in love with the Yankees.
I grew up in Michigan, but I grew back every summer.
So I always wanted to be shortstop for the New York Yankees.
And there was no other dream there.
And look, I mean, I was blessed.
I was fortunate.
I was lucky.
I don't know how you want to define it.
But just being drafted by the Yankees,
having a chance to spend my entire career
with one organization, man, you don't dream of all that.
You just dream of actually getting
to the major leagues and playing for the Yankees.
Every kid dreams of playing in a World Series.
You don't really know what it's going to feel like to win one.
And then we had a lot of success, man.
I was blessed.
I had a lot of great teammates.
We had a lot of success, especially early on in my career.
My life has been blessed.
And to answer your question, it's much more
than I could ever dream of.
Yeah, I mean, it is really your career as a storybook career.
But the one thing I appreciated in your documentary
and it's something that only the true great ones kind of have,
is it does feel like the losses hurt you so much more
than the wins.
And that 2001 series, when they go through everything
and you're talking about it, is that something
how often still to this day?
Derek Jeter, family man, you're at home.
You got other things going on.
Does it just pop in your head every now and then?
You're like, fuck.
No question.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
I got a couple of friends that have won more championships,
man, so don't think they don't constantly remind me of it.
So you always think about the times that you feel as though.
Like I said in the documentary, every loser says,
oh, we should have won.
That's what you say.
But you have those times where you get so close
and you feel as though you had a team that
was capable of winning.
So you're right, man.
I guess I'm wired a little bit differently.
I don't know if I'm necessarily proud of it.
But for me, I think about those times that we could have won.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, that was so close.
And there's something about the guys who were wired that way,
because I think you had such a crazy career that you could just
be like, well, it was all, I mean, won five titles.
Like, what are we talking about here?
One of the best of all time.
But the guys who were wired different, it's like, no, no,
we should have won.
You remember the losses you were.
We should have won nine.
We should have done this.
Yeah, and I just always had.
I didn't appreciate my career as much as I probably
should have when I was going through it.
Because it's always, you heard me say in the documentary,
it's always what's next, man.
What's next?
Like, you know, you celebrate for a couple of weeks,
and then it's, we got to get on to the next one.
So like I said, I think that's just a character for all mine.
Yeah, you played a pretty pivotal role
in one of the most iconic baseball moments of the last,
I'd say, 100 years.
And that's George W. Bush's first pitch at game three.
So legend has it, you were talking to him,
and you were kind of giving him some tips before the game.
What was it like when he was taking warm-ups?
Did you see something in his motion?
And you're like, hey, let's tweak this.
Let's tweak that.
Or what was your advice to him before you stepped out
there on the mound?
Yeah, as much as I'd like to take credit for the perfect strike
you threw, I can.
This was the old Yankee Stadium, and the batting cages
were about, I would say, maybe 100 yards from the clubhouse.
So I had a routine that I did every day.
I used to go down in the cages right before the game
and just get a few swings in to get loose.
And I'm walking down to the cage,
and the whole tunnel is lined with Secret Service.
So everyone's talking about how nervous they were
post-9-11 with the president of the United States
in the Yankee Stadium.
I felt it was the safest place in the world to be,
because there was nothing going to happen at Yankee Stadium
that particular night.
So I went down to the batting cage, and I saw the president.
And he said he's throwing out the first pitch,
and he was getting loose.
And I said, hey, man, just make sure you're
going to throw up from the mound.
And he says, what do you think?
I said, man, throw it from the mound.
I said, I think you should do that.
And then when I was leaving, I turned around and said,
don't bounce it, because if you bounce it,
they'll bully you at Yankee Stadium.
And he threw a perfect strike.
I don't know how he did it.
Didn't realize he had a bulletproof vest on at the time.
And the funny thing is, since I retired,
I haven't swung a bat.
I've only thrown a ball a couple of times.
It's when they retired my number in 2017,
and just a few weeks ago, they had a Hall of Fame
ceremony at Yankee Stadium.
I threw out the first pitch.
And both times, I threw it out from in front of the mound.
So they booed me.
Actually, last time they started to boo
when I was in front of the mound.
So it's an intimidating experience
to throw out the first pitch.
Yeah, that's fantastic.
So talking about other moments, our office is in New York.
We have a lot of Mets and Yankees fans, a lot of Mets fans,
a lot of Derek Jeter haters.
So this is not a question for me.
It's a question from the Derek Jeter haters.
Some of the Derek Jeter haters would
say that you kind of hotdogged it when you jumped into the stands
and got your face bloody.
Some people are even saying, like, Stone Cold Steve Austin,
you had a razor blade underneath the seat,
and you cut yourself a little.
Do you think you probably could have just maybe caught it
and not used all those extra steps
to make the theatrical jump into the stands?
I actually was two steps.
And if you went to the old game standing,
unfortunately, you can't go because it's not there.
But there was not a lot of foul ground behind third base.
So trust me, if I could have stopped, I would have stopped.
But you're running full speed.
And actually, I've said it, the catch was not hard.
It really wasn't hard.
It was a foul ball.
You're running full speed.
But I have fallen into the photographer's pit a few years
prior to in the postseason.
And it's all cement.
So I knew where I was going.
And I just thought if I jumped over the photographer's pit,
I'd just land in someone's lap.
And unfortunately, it was the one seat that didn't have anyone
sitting in it.
But no, to answer the question, I absolutely could not stop.
So you got rid of old Yankee Stadium,
so no one could actually go back and recreate it?
Exactly.
That's what I did.
Just for the fans, I just had them tear down the old Yankee
Stadium so they couldn't go out and recreate it.
How often would you have?
I mean, Yankee, being in New York,
it is crazy how passionate the two fan bases are.
How much they hate each other.
Would you get people on the streets
being like, fuck you, Derek, from Metz fans and stuff?
Metz fans, no, because Metz fans didn't have anything
to say, really.
You know what I mean?
They didn't win.
We played them in the World Series in 2000.
And I've said that was the one series
that we absolutely could not lose.
And I'm not joking when I say it.
I would probably move out of the city.
I lived in Manhattan my whole career.
I would have moved if we were lost to the Metz.
But really, Metz fans couldn't say anything.
Yeah, yeah, that's a good feeling.
Red Sox fans couldn't for a while until 2004.
I have to admit, I got caught up in the Red Sox bandwagon
2004.
I bought the shirt.
It said the entire lineup on the back.
Pasada sucks, William sucks.
And at the end, Njidr swallows.
I thought that was a really good burn on you.
I was actually at Game 7 in New York for that closeout game.
I've wondered, you seem like a guy that probably still
affects when you think about kind of like that 2001 World
Series.
As it was happening, when did you reach the moment
where you're like, oh, shit, we might actually
lose this series?
Man, I don't think you ever.
Well, first of all, thanks for bringing up all of our losses.
I appreciate you guys.
I'm glad I came on this show, man.
Thanks.
But people talk about us losing.
We lost four games in a row to Boston,
but we beat them three games in a row
to get a 3-0 lead.
So it just goes to show you anything can happen in the playoffs.
But even when we lost Game 6, I thought
we were going to win Game 7.
Because if you think about it, at the time,
Boston always found a way to screw it up.
They just did.
And we had all the confidence in the world.
But yeah, they beat us pretty good there in Game 7.
So I don't think you ever lose confidence,
but they had a lot of confidence.
I mean, down 3-0, it's tough.
A lot of teams would have rolled over,
but they had a really good team that year.
So I'll give you a good one, because then you
can talk about your wins.
Let's rank your rings.
Which ones are most meaningful?
Let's rank the, I'm sorry, say that again.
Let's rank your rings.
Let's rank the five rings.
Which one do you like the most meaningful?
Obviously, they're all special and everything,
but I would imagine there's one that
means a little something extra.
Would it be the last one?
Ah, man, you have kids.
You guys have kids?
Yeah.
Two.
Yeah, it's kind of like when someone says,
who's your favorite kid?
Even if you have one, you're not going to say it.
Yeah, my daughter.
I like my daughter more than my son.
So there we go.
I answered that.
So now you have to answer this.
Now, you know what?
I tell you what, man, any time you
do something for the first time, it's new.
And you're going through experiences.
You're experiencing the parade for the first time.
You're experiencing the attention.
You're going down the streets.
Everyone has Yankee shirts on, Yankee hats on.
They're congratulating you on winning the World Series.
So the first always stands out.
Man, then you got the Mets.
We're playing the Mets.
And we had to win that World Series, like I said.
And then 2009 had been nine years
since we had won the World Series.
So it's tough.
But I'd probably say maybe the first one,
just because it's the first one.
It's OK to just say that the one against the Padres
was the least meaningful because they just barely
put up a fight.
Like, that's fine.
That's totally fine.
Even the one against San Diego, we
knew they had no chance.
I mean, we were 105 wins that year.
We were 125 and 50.
So that's tough to do.
We steamrolled most teams that year.
That's a crazy record.
That really is.
It is, yeah.
I mean, at any point over the course of that season,
did you feel like you were on autopilot,
where you know that your team is so good
that there's absolutely nothing anybody can do to stop you?
Well, you know what?
That's a good question because 1998
towards the end of the year, we actually
scuffled for a couple of weeks.
And going back to Yankee fans watching every game,
I remember we had won the division in April.
I mean, we had already won.
And I remember walking the streets in New York
towards the end of September, and fans yelling,
we better turn it around.
And we better put the playoffs are coming.
And what's going on?
And they watched every single game.
So we had a period where we scuffle a little bit.
But I think every team is going to struggle at some point.
I think that's when you find out how good you are.
But for the most part of that year,
I mean, I'm a little biased.
But I put that team up there against any team.
Yeah, I mean, it was an incredible team.
And it is true.
Baseball is so weird that it's just so many games.
So there's always going to be a stretch where you lose
a couple of series in a row.
In terms of leadership, were you weren't a raw, raw guy.
But watching one of the cool parts of the documentary
was you talking about the 90s, late 90s Yankees,
then the transition to those 2000s Yankees
where you lose some veteran guys
and you have to become the veteran guy.
Do you think there was a moment where it clicked more for you
for being like a leader and bringing all that team together
versus when you were the young guy
and you had all the veterans around you?
Yeah, you know, I think there's like, you know,
I've always heard people say, oh, well, you're quiet.
You know, you're not the raw, raw guy.
I didn't do things for the camera.
You know, every player knows.
I don't care what sports you play.
You know which camera's on you
because you just look at the red light at the top.
So, and I think if you're waiting for the camera
beyond for you to go and approach a teammate
or for you to get in someone's face,
you're doing it so everyone can see it.
You know, I was vocal, but I did it in my own way.
I did it behind the scenes.
I did it in private.
You know, there's a lot of times, you know, guys,
you can yell and scream at gets the most out of them.
Other guys, you got to give them a hug.
And, you know, you got to take the time
to get to know your teammate.
So, you know, I just always tried to do it
ever since I was younger.
I was blessed.
I came up with a lot of veterans I learned from.
And then like you say, I was there for 20 years.
So, teammates change.
You guys come in.
We had a lot of leaders on our team,
which I think is one of the reasons
why we're able to have so much success.
But, you know, we went through a stretch
where we didn't win championships
and it just goes to show you it's tough to do.
You know, everyone says, you know,
one thing I hate is when players say,
I want to go somewhere where I can win.
What do you mean you want to go?
There's a lot of shit in life I want to.
You don't say, you just, because you say you want it,
doesn't mean you get it.
You got to be willing to work at it.
So, yeah, winning is tough, man.
It really is.
Yeah, yeah.
Who is that guy for you?
The guy that would get in your face
or give you a hug that like,
that kind of brought you along
and took leadership role when you were coming up.
When I came up, man, I don't necessarily know
if it was someone that was getting in my face.
Cause, you know, I was self motivated,
but Mr. Tory, Jill Tory, I mean, he was pretty much,
I played for Buck Showalter for just a few weeks in 1995.
But Mr. T, I think he was probably as good as it gets.
He's the best communicator I've ever known,
ever been around.
And, you know, he, he, he treated everyone fairly.
He didn't treat everyone the same,
but he treated everyone fairly.
So I learned quite a bit from him.
So this might be the toughest question you ever get.
It's something I'm very fascinated with.
At what moment do you think you officially
earned your pinstripes?
Man.
Yeah.
Playoffs, you gotta do it in the playoffs, man.
You gotta do it in the playoffs.
At least now you have to do it in the playoffs, right?
Because, you know, I think there's this level
of expectations that come with playing for the Yankees
and it's the expectation level that we all set.
You know, because before we came up,
I said a young group of us that came up.
Yankees hadn't had a lot of success,
you know, and won a World Series in the 70s.
And then we come up when we started
having a lot of success.
So now you hear a lot of times people say,
oh, well, the expectation for the Yankees
is World Series or bust.
Well, you know, they got a group of players
that need to get to the World Series first.
You know, I said the season was a failure
after we won my first year.
You know, after you win, there's nothing else
you can do but to win again.
So, you know, the expectation level now is so high
and it's understandable because the Yankee fans,
they look, they were spoiled, we were spoiled,
but getting there and winning is tough.
So Aaron Judge, pinstripes, it seems like
by that criteria, he's yet to earn them.
No, I mean, man, Aaron, he's,
no, but he's performed in the playoffs.
You know, he is performing the playoffs.
I think that, you know, Yankee fans pay attention
to what you do in the postseason.
They get pretty much carried.
I remember when we had new players
come to the organization.
I'd say, hey, look, we have 30 games in spring training.
We have 162 games in the regular season.
And that's before it counts.
You know, as you're playing 190 games
before anything counts.
So, you know, you talk about Aaron,
he's performing the playoffs.
They're yet to win, you know, World Series,
it gets a world series, but he's performed.
Did Arod need, did you guys need to win in 2009
for him to earn his pinstripes?
Oh man, I think from a perception standpoint,
especially from a Yankee perception,
Yankee fan perception standpoint,
I think, yeah, definitely.
And I think you asked him,
he'd probably tell you the same thing.
I don't want to speak for him,
but I'm sure he'd tell you the same.
I know Arod pretty well.
He used to do a podcast with him.
How's your relationship with him now?
It's good, man. It's good.
You know, we got together recently, you know,
one, I wanted him to be a part of the documentary.
You know, I told him, I say, man, say whatever you want.
Give your opinion.
And, you know, we got together and I said, look, you know,
I'm just, when it comes to the documentary,
I'm letting you know how I felt at the time.
A lot of things happen in life, right?
You know, I have a family now, you know,
you lose close friends, you know, you get older,
you realize what's most important
and things that you can just put in the past.
So, you know, I wanted him to make sure
that he understood that any feelings I may have had
or he may have had, once again, I want to speak for him,
but any feelings I may have had is behind me, right?
So we've moved on from that.
I did respect and I love your angle of like,
you have your circle of trust, you have your inner circle,
and if you're out, you're out.
Like, if you do something, you're out.
You know, I think that's how a lot of athletes
get a little bit burned nowadays,
is that they might make their circle a little too big
or they don't, they're not as discerning
when it comes to who they trust.
You were able, like, is that something you just always
have had where you're able to be like,
I know this guy's in this for me,
not for himself type of situation.
Yeah, I mean, I've always had trust issues.
I've mentioned that in the documentary
and it's not necessarily something I say I'm proud of, right?
You know, I meet people a lot of times.
I think I've softened a little bit as I've gotten older,
but it always was, you know, you meet someone
and the first thing that goes through your mind
is what's the angle where they walk.
You know, and I don't think, once again,
I don't, it could be a character flaw, right?
But I've had, you know, pretty much for the same group
of friends and people that I've trusted for years and years,
my closest friends, I've known them for 20, 25 years plus.
And, you know, that's okay, but yeah, I've said it before.
Maybe it is a character flaw, but I just have always
had issues trusting people.
I think it's pretty realistic though,
because I'd imagine that a lot of people that you do meet
do have an angle.
I don't think it's all in your head.
I think in the position you're in is, you know,
at one point you were probably, you know,
one of the top three or four most famous athletes
in the United States.
Somebody's gonna have something that they want from you.
It's very hard to find like a brand new,
genuine relationship with someone.
So I don't necessarily think that's a character flaw.
I wanna play this game with you.
We do this with every guest.
It's called Questions from a Third Grader.
So we reached out and Miss Joyce's Third Grade Class.
Are these your questions?
These are your questions.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm actually older.
You can trust us, dude.
I'm older than eight years old.
Are real.
I might be small, but.
I don't know how far you went still, but.
Okay, so no, it's from Mrs. Joyce's Third Grade Class
in Dripping Springs, Texas.
The first one is from Johnny.
Johnny wants to know, Derek, what's your favorite color?
My favorite color is blue.
Okay, cool.
Timmy wants to know, Derek,
what did you wanna be when you grew up?
Shortstop in the Yankees.
Okay, and then Sarah.
Sarah wants to know, Derek,
why didn't you switch to playing third base
when your defense at shortstop had clearly started
to suffer towards the end of your career?
It was never asked.
I do what I'm told.
Third grade, you do what you're told, right?
Uh-huh.
I was never asked.
That's a good answer.
So no one ever broached that subject with you
against Sarah wants to know.
Never brought up in my entire career.
Never was I approached about switching positions.
All right, along those same lines,
let's make a headline.
What was the, were you ever close to leaving as a free agent?
Were you ever, did you ever envision playing
for any other team?
No.
And you could say literally any team
because then we could make a headline out of it.
Be like, Derek, Jeter dreamed about playing
for the pirates and we'll put it on a headline.
Could you just say it?
Absolutely not, man.
You know, I said it in the documentary too,
and this is God's honest truth.
The only time I was a free agent,
I walked in and told Hal Steinbrenner,
I said, I'm not going anywhere.
I said, I've told my agent, if anyone calls,
not assuming anyone would call,
but I said, if anyone calls, don't take it
because I'm not going anywhere.
I said, just treat me fairly and that was it.
So I had never crossed my mind to leave,
never wanted to leave.
Yeah, I know a lot of things became public
during the negotiations,
but never crossed my mind to leave the Yankees.
The other, you know, dealing with the tabloids
was probably very annoying during your career.
I do have to say though,
that headline when you looked a little fat
and it said, Derek Eater, like you got to admit,
that was funny.
Man, what, let me tell you something.
You talk about trust, right?
So after that came out, I was actually in Miami at a hotel.
Afterwards, I went up to a couple of friends.
I'm like, man, why you guys didn't tell me?
Did I gain weight or something?
You know what I mean?
But funny, we should have put it in the documentary actually.
I had met with a good friend of mine
who's on one of the networks.
The next day, I just ran into him at the airport
and he took a picture with me.
And I actually, at the time, I had lost weight
from when I played.
So I don't want to get on any New York papers, I don't,
because if you get on them, they will come after you.
But yeah, I did not gain weight.
A lot of people thought it was funny.
I didn't at the time.
I was like, what's going on, man?
I just imagined them at the post just being like,
Derek Eater, like we nailed it.
Boom, you know, this is the greatest headline of all time.
I laughed out loud when I saw it.
I think they were sitting on that one for years,
hoping to get a bad angle of you.
And they finally got that angle.
And they were like, at the time,
we got him.
And like I said, I was in Miami and I was downstairs
at the hotel restaurant.
I had a huge breakfast and somebody came over
and you know how you see someone,
they're sort of looking at you
and they had a paper in their hand.
They're looking at me and looking at my plate.
And then I saw what was on the front page.
Yeah, go ahead.
I just wanted to, my last question was going to be,
we have a special guest in the studio right now.
Well, he's on this podcast, his name's Jake.
And he met you.
Jake, how old were you when you met Derek Eater?
I believe I was three or four.
Three or four years old.
Do you remember meeting a three or four year old named Jake?
Yeah, yeah, this was recently, right?
Yeah, there's a picture.
So this is what you have to look like.
It actually is a bigger question of like,
do you ever have a moment and step back
and you're like, there are millions of people
who idolize me to such an insane level.
So Jake told us a story when he was in like kindergarten
or first grade, his parents went
to the parent teacher conference
and the teacher was like, he's great, everything's great,
but he keeps signing his name, Jake Jeter.
Like, why is he doing that?
And his AOL profile name was like, what was it?
It was Jake Jeter too.
Jake Jeter too.
Like, do you realize there are literally millions
of people out there like Jake who,
they would die for you.
You are everything to them.
You know what, first of all, Jake, nice to meet you.
See you again.
See you again, yeah.
I can't see you.
But, you know, I don't think you ever,
at least me, I never sat down and say,
oh, people idolize you.
I just, that doesn't cross my mind.
I look at it as, I grew up with Yankee fans, man,
for 20 years.
I mean, great thing about Yankee fans,
they watch every single game.
They live and die with what happens on the field.
So they've seen me grow up and I joked about it
when they retired my number.
I've seen a lot of you guys who grow up as well.
So I don't think it's ever a situation
where you say, oh, people idolize you.
I just think it's, you grew up with them.
Yeah.
No, he idolizes you for sure.
That's a very humble way, but like,
he would die for you.
Yeah, there's many people who would die for you.
I dressed up for, as you for Halloween
for like 10 straight years, I'll be honest.
It was just the pinstripes every year.
Just roll it back to play the classics, play the hits.
All right.
Well, I have one last question as well.
It's a rowback question.
R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com use promo code
take for 20% off your first purchase
to get the new joggers.
Your retirement and the fact that, you know,
you didn't get unanimous Hall of Fame,
which I want to, I want to try to figure out
who that person is.
But did you, part of your retirement, I'm sure was age,
but was it also like, hey, they're starting to use
exit velocity a lot on these stats
and like, I got to get the fuck out of here
because all my hits are like 20 miles an hour.
Did that play into anything with your retirement?
Well, first of all, I wouldn't say all of them
are 20 miles an hour.
I think you need to go take a look at some of them
because there are a few there
with a little bit more than 20 miles an hour.
But I tell you what though, yeah, man.
I mean, look, if you go back to the age of analytics
began towards the end of my career
and man, you just go, you can go through the Hall of Fame
and just think of how many players
because of launch angle and exit velocity
probably would have never had a long career.
You know, I mean, you could just,
I'm just thinking out loud, you know, Wade Boggs.
Tony Glenn. Tony Glenn, you know what I mean?
But job was to get a hit and get on base.
And yeah, so the age of analytics
probably played a part of me leaving,
but I also said, you know, when it starts to feel
like a job that I should go home.
And I got hurt, I broke my ankle.
I had a really good year in 2012
and then I broke my ankle in the playoffs,
came back too soon, broke it again.
And the rehab and to just get on the field
which became so difficult.
It really felt like I was, I had a job, man.
And you know, and anything that you do,
if you're passionate about it and love it,
it doesn't feel like a job.
You have fun doing it.
And at that particular point, it was just too much for me.
And look, I don't get it twisted.
I know they probably wanted me to go home too, right?
So they can move on and get someone else in there to play.
But for me, I felt like it became more and more of a job.
Yeah.
I mean, and you became Derek Eater.
Exactly.
In that moment, in that moment when,
when you were retiring and the camera cut to the crowd
and we see your nephew tip the respect hat at you,
that to me proves that clutch gene is hereditary
because you obviously were maybe the clutch's player
in Major League Baseball history.
And then your nephew, the camera happens to be on him
and executes the most perfect, the cutest captive to you.
Of all time.
And it's funny, you know, he's 11 years old now.
So that's just shows to show you how much, how time flies.
But, you know, afterwards, you hear people say,
oh, it was rehearsed.
No, it wasn't, it wasn't rehearsed.
Even my last game, I heard people say,
there are some people that said, oh, you know,
David Robertson was supposed to come in
and give up two home runs.
And this is just how they planned it all.
We all sat down and planned it out.
Yeah, it was like, Nathan, for you episode.
It's a testament to your career that it's, you know,
ended the way it did.
And it was a storybook from start to finish.
But we appreciate this so much.
We'd love to have you on again,
whenever you're free, want to talk baseball,
check out Greatness Wins.
You can buy a new athletic apparel there.
You're going to send us a gift basket?
Oh, yeah, I see how, I'm going to send you some stuff.
Yeah, I'm going to send you some stuff.
Nice, nice, nice.
I get nervous with that, the gift basket comment.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, what do you mean?
Oh, what are you talking about?
What are you talking about next time?
Next time, next time, we'll be in person.
Oh, yeah, all right.
So, yeah, I was going to say, I want you to come in person
because it'd be great to do like a long interview in person,
but we'll also have to maybe have you come like
in the middle of the night.
Cause some of the dudes in the office would like,
do you actually have people who want to fight you
in this office and people who would,
who would be like, please marry me, Derek Jeter.
So it would, it would run the gamut.
That's pretty good.
But we'll get it.
I'll get you guys some product.
Awesome.
I appreciate it guys.
Take care now.

Now here's one question with Garderminchu.
And now for something completely different.
Okay, one question with a quarterback.
We now welcome on our good friend, recurring guest,
Garderminchu, who when we came up with this idea,
I actually called you, you went straight to voicemail,
but you were on our list.
So one question with a quarterback.
PFT, you wanna start with your first question?
Sure, yeah.
So like, how good are the Eagles right now?
Dude, you're as good as what your record says you are.
So we're pretty freaking good, man.
It's been a lot of fun watching those guys get after them.
I think our best ball's ahead of us.
Okay, my one question was Gardner,
I know that you, you know, you're a tough guy.
We've had you on the show.
You talked about having to break your own hand,
which was a crazy story.
If the doctors were to x-ray your heart,
how many dogs do you think would be in there?
Man, that's a good question.
But you know, I don't know if it's about the number
of the dogs, but the size of the heart and the dogs,
and my dogs have big hearts.
And so I'd say there's probably about two dogs
with very big hearts.
Okay.
I like that.
It's like the size of the dog in the fight.
You've got small dogs, but if you x-ray them,
your dogs have dogs in them.
Yeah.
It's like a Russian nesting doll of dogs.
I like that.
You just keep going in and just sit for infinity.
Dogs on dogs, all the way down.
Do you have a question for us?
Cause that was our questions.
No, man, I'm really good.
I was prepared to answer questions.
I really ask, yeah.
Okay.
All right, perfect.
Awesome.
Well, thank you, Gardner.
We appreciate it.
The interviews usually go like.
Yeah, but this is one question.
So we don't really, we get one question with you.
And then, I don't know, sometimes the quarterback
has a question for us.
Yeah.
Like you can ask us literally anything about anything.
Man, you're really putting me on the spot, dude.
I don't even know what to say.
Who would win in a fight between you two?
The fight to the death.
That's a good question.
I do have the size.
I'm injured right now.
But low man wins.
I think PFT probably would, I think if,
it would honestly be the better fighter,
but I think my size would probably win out
cause I could just tire him out.
Like if I just lay on him.
Yeah, you know, when you watch like one of those
missed like old school UFC mismatches
where it's like, oh, this little guy definitely
could have beaten the big guy,
but the big guy just laid on him long enough
that he just tired him out.
I would be my strategy.
You're like the mountain game of thrones.
Kind of.
Not really.
I would go trash.
Pretty much.
I would just try to run around the ring as much as possible.
And I would probably never even throw a punch.
I just hope that he got so tired
that he'd pass out from just walking around the ring.
Which is definitely a possibility.
Got strategy.
Yeah.
Good deal on strategy.
But I think it comes down to dogs and hard honestly
and the hard and the dogs.
Yeah.
I don't know if my dogs have dogs inside of them yet.
I just got an X-ray yesterday and it was dogless.
So that's concerning to me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So probably not.
Okay. Well, Gardner, thank you for joining us.
We might call on you again later on this year,
but you're the man.
And that was one question with Gardner Minshew.

Okay, let's wrap up with some guys on chicks.
Then we'll do the lottery ball machine,
which Hank, you've never had, right?
I ain't no Hank one.
Hank one.
You've never won that, right?
Sup, Slim Thiccat, Ghost of Manhattan and Henry,
my sister 22 and her boyfriend recently flew out
to visit my boyfriend and I for the first time.
My boyfriend and I share one bedroom,
one bathroom apartment, apartment.
They wrote that twice, not I didn't read it twice.
We did read it twice though.
That's true, where the bathroom has two doors,
one connected to the hallway
and one connected to the bedroom.
The first night I was in bed
and heard both of them going to the bathroom.
Sounded like my sister was brushing her teeth
and her boyfriend began peeing loudly next to her
for a good 30 seconds.
I found it very weird
since they've only been dating a couple months
and made it so obvious.
My boyfriend of three years has never peed in front of me.
Is peeing in front of your girlfriend weird
and after how long of dating is that acceptable?
PS, you still gotta do a gravity bong with Jilly.
Oh, that's true, I forgot about that.
We make a lot of promises.
No, you're weird.
You're very weird.
Peeing in front of a girl is maybe, I'd say, week two?
Well, here's the problem.
The only problem peeing in front of,
it has nothing to do with like, ew, that's gross.
It's just if you pee in front of a girl,
you better have your aim right
because if they see what, you know, when you fuck up,
they're like, wait, what, you guys miss?
It's like, yeah, we miss a lot.
I think the bigger issue is- A lot, a lot.
If you pee in front of a girl, the real danger
is that you might fart.
And so that's one where you gotta make sure
that you've got a couple feet separation there.
Yeah, but that's totally normal.
I don't see what the problem is.
Again, the only problem in my eyes is aim is a question
that comes up all the time where it's like, you know,
you ever have like one of those
where you're like so hungover, like you just totally miss
and like you're just peeing on the wall and shit?
Like that will happen from time to time.
You pee on the wall?
Well, no, you're just like, yeah.
You'll just be like, like you're fucked up.
It's like LeBron seeing three rims.
Yeah, you're fucked up or you're insanely hungover
and you're just like, oh, fuck.
And like, it's all over the place.
There could be disasters.
Yeah, you just go hands-free and it just, yeah, right.
Yeah, you sometimes take a little risk.
Yeah, where you're like, that's the sex pee.
The sex pee is a little bit different.
But sometimes that happens when you're hungover.
Yeah, I do, I've never hit the wall hungover.
You're kind of half asleep.
It's the sex pee is an issue.
Sometimes also what you do, breaking news,
I've had sex.
Well, we were talking about hangovers.
No, but I think I brought up to be myself in the arena,
which is the sex pee.
But then the leanover is my move when I'm hungover,
where you just like put your forearm on the wall
and lean forward and just let gravity
almost pull your pee down.
Well, the big way you miss is when you have a boner
in the morning.
Right, or yeah, like when you're super hungover
and you like, especially if you have like crazy hangover
and you try to do the thing where you drink a shitload
of water the night before, before you went to bed
to fix it and then you have to pee so bad.
But when I think the question too,
and it deserves to be asked,
when does this happen in a relationship?
I think really soon, like I've never been afraid to pee.
I mean, you guys know I can pee in front of anybody,
Ed Sheeran, girlfriend doesn't matter.
But it's never been a question like,
I don't know, peeing in front of somebody
is pretty normal, I think.
Yeah, it's pretty quick.
Yeah, first month, no problem.
You're the weird one person who wrote in.
I think after they see your dick,
there's no more surprises left.
Correct.
Okay, to Chicago Cat, DCPFT, Boston Hank, and Philly Max.
My fiance and his brother.
Jake and Billy, just get nothing.
Probably New York Slender.
My fiance and his brother are planning
a joint bachelor party for next spring,
but have no ideas on where to go, things to do, et cetera.
Do you have any ideas?
For context, they are Philly based.
Don't do this.
Late 20-somethings in Vegas and Atlantic City are out.
P.S. Go Birds.
Don't do this.
Delco.
Don't do this.
Don't do this.
This is a bad idea.
The joint bachelor party's a bad idea.
You could pretend it's a good idea.
You could pretend like, oh, this would be fun.
One side is not happy about this.
It could be the girl, it could be the guy.
I'm not saying one way or the other.
Or do you think it could be one of the guy's groups?
No, no, no, but like, yes, there will be one side
that is very upset about this and like,
what are we doing here?
And there's one side of the husband and the bride
who are like being like, I'll go along with this,
but deep down, they don't really wanna do it.
Don't do it.
The only way this can work,
the only way is if you have about a 90% clearance rate
on both sides of the groomsmen
and the bridesmaids being single.
If that's the case, then it could be fun
because then there's hookups happening
and everyone's gonna be happy and horny,
et cetera, et cetera.
That's the only way that it works.
But if that's not the case,
I think it's gonna be a bad idea.
It's never fun.
I went on, I don't wanna get into it
because the person's probably listening,
but I went on a joint bachelor,
bachelor party one time.
And it sucked.
And it's just like, you're always,
you're always looking over your shoulder
and there's just too many people that are involved
with different agendas at the same time.
It's tough.
Yeah, and again, this goes for both ways.
Like I bet you the girls wanna have a girl trip
where they don't have to like think about,
being around dudes all the time.
Like that's, this is just, come on, come on, don't do it.
And if you were gonna do it, I guess do to Vegas
because then you all get split up anyway.
So that would be the answer.
If you're gonna do the joint bachelor party, do Vegas
and then just get split up so much that you don't.
I think you're miss, I think you miss her.
It's brother and brother in law, I think are doing,
my fiance and his brother.
Oh, we have to redo this whole question.
Okay, so now it's just,
when were you gonna tell us that part?
I watched, I was trying to explain it
and then once you explained it, I was like,
I don't think you're gonna do it.
I just heard joint bachelor party.
So bachelor and bachelorette party.
It's a shit load of dudes, sounds like.
Oh, shit load of Philly.
Also don't do this.
This is also a bad idea.
This actually might be a worse idea.
That's what I was saying.
It's like one of the groups of friends doesn't wanna do it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, don't do that.
So all right, so everything we said stands
for the joint guy girl bachelor party,
but also that's too many Philly dudes.
Unless they're gonna all fight.
Unless they're all single
and then they'll start hooking up with each other.
That counts.
You already have to deal with like,
if you have a bachelor party,
you already have to deal with the fact
that you have friends from different points in your life
to then add a whole other group of friends
from different points in their lives.
Like, don't do that.
That's a bad idea.
Just say you're going to,
just wait till the Eagles play the Raiders
and then all of you guys go to Vegas together.
That's a way better idea.
Okay. That was a wild question.
Sorry, I just completely misheard.
I heard joint and I just was like, don't do it.
So my general policy is any bachelor party
that's over, I'd say maybe nine people
is going to be tough enough to handle.
When you combine them,
then you get all the little politics
that starts to get played inside
of one normal bachelor party
and you combine it with a bunch of friends
that have never met each other before.
Correct.
In the first place,
they're all going to end up hating each other
and that's a best case scenario.
Think about like trying to go to a club in Vegas
with 25 dudes.
That's what you're going to have to do
if you combine bachelor parties.
Somebody's going to be like,
I don't want to split this tab evenly
because I didn't get any appetizers.
Imagine that times like three.
That person sucks.
All right, we'll end with another Eagles question.
My boyfriend is a Panthers fan and I'm an Eagles fan.
We have an extra TV we put out on the weekends
to watch football.
It's sick.
The issue we've been having is when both our teams
are playing, we both obviously want to watch it
on the bigger TV.
This usually turns into a problem.
We get the Panthers game on a local channel
and I have the Eagles on the ticket.
So I'm able to switch to other games on commercial breaks.
The Panthers are also really fucking bad
and I feel sorry for him sometimes.
However, that doesn't justify putting a shitty game
on the bigger TV.
Is this fair?
Yes, it's very fair.
I don't think Panthers, you should never strive
to put a Panthers game on a larger TV.
If anything, you should buy a special smaller TV
for Carolina Panthers games.
We do this in the office.
The teams that are good get TVs.
Like last week, I put the Bears on the fucking quad box.
I had to squint to see it
because the Bears Texans was not a good game.
So it's like, you just have to do it by hierarchy
of like, are these teams good?
And yeah, we actually probably have a lot of teams
that are probably going to be relegated this year
to the quad box.
Mercifully.
Like actually the Bears are not quad box right now.
They're two in one Bears versus two in one Giants.
Your boyfriend's kind of a sicko
for wanting to watch the Carolina Panthers.
But you get, in terms of like,
it's just basically a quality, like how good,
it's hard, it is hard at the beginning of the season
because no one's mathematically eliminated
and can be like, you can convince yourself,
oh, they're a frisky one and two.
But as the season goes along,
if the Eagles keep winning and the Panthers keep losing,
the Panthers don't get the main TV.
Like use your head, come on.
Just put it, you gotta, they get relegated.
It's very simple.
It's like, well, if you're a network executive,
what would you want Monday football to be?
The Panthers or the Eagles?
I think there's like a hand,
there's like six teams that should never lay
any sort of claim to being on the bigger TV
if there's an option.
And I think, unfortunately,
the Panthers are in that conversation.
Yes.
Hank, is it gonna be weird
that you're gonna be quad boxed this year?
Because that is kind of weird.
Yes, weird.
I mean, they're bringing back the Red Jerseys,
which everyone's been waiting for a long time.
It's gonna be fucking Brian Hoyer.
Yeah.
Is that his path to Patriot gonna be up there?
On the helmet?
Yeah.
What happened to Billy's app?
Wow.
Brian, you know?
Brian Hoyer.
Brian Hoyer.
You gotta give Brian Hoyer another chance.
I have actually, I have a crazy...
It's not Brian Hoyer.
It's Axel Hoyer.
Yeah, what the fuck's up with that?
Yeah, his name's Axel.
He's been going through life,
not calling himself Axel.
Like Axel is the name,
Brian Hoyer is a better backup quarterback name,
but Axel Hoyer, that dude will get in and fucking sling it.
Brian Hoyer has lost 11 straight games as a starter,
dating back to 2016.
But Axel Hoyer has never lost a game.
Also, that's still not even a full season of a sample size.
You gotta see how that plays out.
He also had that great half season in Cleveland.
You remember that?
Yeah, and then he chose ACL.
He was like the local hero,
and it was like, wow,
has Cleveland finally found the quarterback?
He had the Mr. Hero advertisements and all that shit?
This is Axel Hoyer, Hank.
Just tell yourself it's Axel.
Yeah.
Hank, you're going to the...
It is kind of weird
that the Patriots will be a quad box team.
Yeah, and fucking, yeah.
There's idiot sports talk journalists being like,
oh, you know, this is Belichick's last year,
he's on the way out.
Oh.
It starts so quickly.
Oh, really?
What idiots are saying that?
Is that bothering you?
Cow turd.
People are saying Belichick, the game has passed him by.
No, he's just whatever.
Don't let it bother you.
Yeah.
Don't let it bother you.
Don't let him get you down.
17.
Have you ever won this?
You won last week.
Oh yeah, he hasn't ever won this.
You're never going to win this,
which is the best part of this.
You want a bet?
72.
I mean, when are you going to give me to for eternity?
I still think I probably would take you not winning this.
I'll take 64.
Oh, someone did the math.
Speaking of six, are you,
are we going to talk about this earlier in the show?
What?
Are you starting to get worried?
I don't know what we're talking about.
62.
What are you worried about?
Oh, the, yeah, we would have taught the homeruns.
We talked about it.
Yeah, we already talked about it.
Okay.
Yes, yes.
Breaking news, LeBron James.
45, 45.
What number are you, Hank?
17.
LeBron James just tweeted accidentally
instead of the kid from Akron,
he tweeted the mid from Akron.
Ooh.
Oh, that's awesome.
Fuck this.
Oh, wait, what?
90.
Not even close, Hank.
Damn, Hank.
Not even close.
Not even close to close.
Love you guys.
Crocodiles are older than algae.
You're talking away, but I don't know what I'm to say or say
anyway.
