We have three point champion, Joe Harris in studio. Really awesome time with him. I think we're best friends with him.

We turned it on, we got excited. We saw the uniforms, we saw Matt Schaub. Yes, he is still in the NFL. I saw Drew Lock just out there looking like every other quarterback that's ever played in the NFL. Kevin Hogan ready to throw a three yard out, Stanford offense, and then five minutes in we're like, this kind of sucks.

Yeah, there are a couple reasons to watch this game. One, gambling on it. Frick you, Trey Wingo. Which I might add, it's preseason for the gamblers too. So we should get our money back on this one. I bet the Falcons plus a half of the first half. Looks like that's a dud. We both bet the over because we're fucking idiots.

Loser. I mean what a bunch of morons we were. We bet the over and then we looked at each other and we're like, we're so dumb for betting the over. No, I'm still alive. Trey Wingo tweeted, you need help if you bet on this game when you have no idea who's playing on the field. Hey Trey, just a heads up man.

I've been doing this for a very long time. I've been gambling all my life. I lose even if I fucking read a thousand articles about each team and I know exactly who's playing. So what is the difference of me betting and losing on a game when I don't know who's playing? Yeah, Trey, I bet on March Madness every year. You think I know half the players on even the best teams?

So frick off, bro. I bet based on the pedigree of the school and the color and in the Hall of Fame game, I'm always, always going to bet on Matt Shoppe. Hey, Trey, lock it up. Lock it up, Trey. No, you lock it up. No, you lock it up, Trey. Trey, you lock it up.

Trey, you lock it up. Do we just become best friends? No, because you're being lame about betting on pre-season football. Yeah, you gotta bet on pre-season football. Listen, it's the only way you can do it. You gotta live. But yeah, the game started. We had our first pass interference penalty, which was cool.

That was really cool. He went challenge. Challenge, sorry. Challenge, yeah. The ref got under the hood, looked at the Microsoft surface, and it was upheld. It was thrilling. Yeah, I can't wait for an entire year of pass interference challenge,

penalty reviews. Can't wait for the game to get even slower. But no, watching just football helmets and a ball on a field gets it going. It really does. It gets it going. It's not good. No, it's not enjoyable once it starts. But Michael's voice comes through the TV and you see that graphic and you see

Denver versus Atlanta and you're like, we are so fucking close. Yeah, it doesn't really count as a full game unless it lasts long enough for the fans to get drunk while there's good football being played. Yeah. But you know what? We still have that first opening drive. We got fluffed. We got fluffed.

Kevin Hogan, no offense. It looks like bust. I'm putting the bust tag right now. Bad attitude. I told you not bad attitude. More like no effect on this game. Yep, got him. Trash, bust.

Burn. Put it on the board. Yeah, so football's back. That's pretty much all we got. I mean, I'm excited. Bad job. I am so excited that match up still in the league because if you don't remember, if you're too young, I hope you're not to eat that young.

But if you don't remember matchups, pick six streak, it was one of the most thrilling moments as a sports fan that I've ever encountered. Yeah, it was like a Nathan Peterman half extended. Oh, you might be okay here, buddy. The first and goal for the Falcons. Okay. This could be hard. If you miss the game, if you miss the game.

The first win of the season is nine. I hope they go for two. Put in matchup. I hope they go for two. Put in matchup. Yeah, Dan Quinn. No, Dan Quinn's not going to go for two. No, he's going to kick the field goal for me.

He might kick it right now. Yeah, he will. I might actually lose this bet by a lot. I'm going to tweet that right now. Dan Quinn's going to field goal from here. Yeah, keep that streak going. All right. But yeah, it is good to watch the NFL being back.

We've got the Hall of Fame speeches on Saturday. I mean, you guys just got excited right there. You guys just talked yourself out of it. And then back in. Yeah. Hey, this is gambling season. That was live. One of us being like, yeah, this game kind of sucks.

Oh, shit. We can get some Dan Quinn jokes off and we can and we can see a first and goal. We're back. We did really bury the lead of this entire game, which was the Broncos new head coach Vic Fangio coached this game dealing with the kidney stone that he was hospitalized for that he didn't pass. So he's walking out there with like a big calcified chunk of rock swinging in his urethra and he's still out there calling plays.

He's fine. Listen, as someone who's peed blood in the last couple of weeks, I don't think that's a big deal. Yeah. I mean, it's been burning when Cliff Kingsbury pees for the last 10 years. There you go. Pft. Touchdown Falcons.

Touchdown Falcons. There we go. It's seven, six. You need this extra point. I now I'm not rooting against your bet, but for content reasons, it would be funny if this is not locked up. This is he's going to make it. Not even worried about it.

I'm just telling you right now. It would be very. I'm not worried. This extra point. Who's playing quarterback right now? I don't know, but he's got triceps tattoos. Yeah, that's so I'm I'm kind of in on that. Yeah.

So all right, we'll do the extra point. Collin Coward is on. He's looking good. He gives a little. Who is it? I don't care. Who Kurt Binkert with the first where Falcons such Virginia. Oh, Virginia.

Oh, yep. There's a flag. It doesn't matter. Damn. Wave it off. Decline the penalty. That's the first win of the season for your boy PFT undefeated on the year. There you go.

It's the over in the second half. For sure going to happen. Definitely three more touchdowns in this game. That's we're going to watch the whole game up. I would also like to tease this a little bit. Oh, on the defense. On the defense. There we go.

You're nailed it. I'm good. I'm Gucci unless they return this kickoff for a touchdown. That would also be very funny. Yeah. I'm also going to tease this because so we'd like to talk, you know, you guys like to have some fun, make your jokes about Leroy saying he deletes tweets, things like that. Well, that's not a joke.

It's a fact. Well, he hasn't he hasn't deleted tweet in probably like six months, seven months. I don't know about that. So he stands by all his reporting. He's a reformed tweeter. He is very reformed. Thank you, Hank. He reported earlier this offseason that LaShawn McCoy is going to be done.

So from the bills, Adam Schefter said, no, you're a bad dog. Leroy, this one is incorrect. He's staying with bills. I've been hearing many, many. Wait, you were. Yeah. Hold on. You know, let me finish.

You didn't let me finish my sense. Okay. I've been hearing many rumblings from Leroy. Got it. That LaShawn McCoy's release is imminent. Oh, wow. So just pointing that out. I have this podcast.

I have this part of the podcast. Yeah. No. Yeah. Scouts on her. Please piss on it with your leg on it and pee on the tape and make sure no one hears it again. Just saying could be done within the next two weeks.

Big time news. Just saying. Big time news. All right. So football's back. We talked a little baseball before we get to Firefest. Houston Astros. Sheesh.

Sheesh. Zach Grenke. That is, I love one of teams just like, you know what, fuck it. We're just going to have all the good pitchers. Hot stove. So that happened. Also the Yankees. I love that the Yankees just are saying, fuck it.

We're going to try to win softball games for the like the fourth year in a row and didn't do anything. Didn't get a pitcher. And while the Mets somehow the Mets are going in now, I don't, they've won like six in a row. You said it perfectly with the Mets though. Like they don't know what they're doing. Right.

But now they also have a great pitching staff. I feel like they're winning though in spite of their management. Right. Even a blind pig finds an acorn every now and again as the old saying goes. Yeah. That's exactly the old saying. Uh-oh. That's a pass interference.

We might have a field goal attempt. That is the saying. Yeah. I know. We might have a field goal. Yeah. The way that you said exactly. Yeah.

It's a saying. So, uh, yeah, the baseball hot stove, as you just said, also known as the trade dead. Yeah. Hot stove league. Now they call it the hot stove because that was the old water cooler. Right. Uh, no, it was the hot stove was. Yeah.

Was in the winter. They would all get together. Gather around. Stand around. Imagine being. Imagine being the guy at the hot stove tomorrow morning that didn't know it was called a hot stove. Correct.

Correct. But you got any other baseball thoughts? That's all my baseball thoughts for right there. It's just hot stove. It's just hot stove. No. Okay. You want to know my real base?

Yeah. Give him to me. Uh, I thought that the inner Ohio trade was hilarious. Oh, and Trevor Bauer showed up to the Indian Trevor and Trevor Bauer showed back up to the game after he had been traded away from his teammates to watch like Chris Humphries showing up to like a watch party for keeping up with the Kardashians. It was, uh, it was kind of awkward to see, but it also told me that he just doesn't have friends.

And if he does not have friends and, and, uh, the, that trade now goes down in history is the two guys who got traded most iconic last moment with their respective teams, Trevor Bauer launching the ball over center field and Yasail Pui getting in a brawl. Agreed. That's beautiful. Agreed. And I, I mean, Yasail Pui, I mean, this makes the Indians, you know, pretty good. I think it's probably a better trade for them.

No, the lineup is lethal. Um, and then I, then verse the Astros would be like the perfect, yeah, playoff, playoff matchup. Yeah. Except no Marlins man, though. That's true. True. But it's tough in Houston because their color is kind of like the Marlins orange is a nightmare.

Actually nightmare scenario for Marlins, they can get confused with other fans and we won't be able to see him. Uh, the Cubs, also a lot of dogs in Houston don't drive with his cats. The Cubs did the classic thing where they just got a guy who I actually like it, but they got a guy just to like let everyone else know, Hey, we're not totally giving up on this. Oh, you have to do that. Because if your fan base is sitting around waiting for that news to drop, you have to

like throw him a little crumb being like, we're working, we're working the phones. And they basically said the bottom of their lineup is absolute trash. So anyone would do better, which Castellanos will do better. Uh, any other hot stove? The Red Sox did nothing. Yeah. And, uh, Domborowski is kind of like a douchebag. They did like, he's like, there is no press conference.

There's no press to announce. Like there's no news to announce when everyone was waiting like, Oh, like, what do you got? What do you got? Did you do a press conference to announce there's no press? He did like, uh, Mike Piazza, I think someone asked him, I got to find the quote. I might be butchering this, but I think someone asked him for like what the update was and he was like, there is no update. We made no moves.

It was kind of under guys. Yeah. It was kind of underwhelming overall because it was just weird moves. It was the, the Mets getting strome in the Astros having the best, you know, one, two, three there with Cole, Verlander and Grenky. And then the Dodgers, Yankees doing nothing, Cubs kind of doing a little bit. And then it's just okay. And then the inner Ohio trade, it was all very weird.

I do like that spin zone though. It's like, we like the guys we have in house and we trust them to turn around. Has that ever worked? Well, no, the thought process that I always take with, with like the adding a, like Castellanos is not a star. He's a guy. He's a professional hitter, as they say. So it's like, let's add a guy means that he sucks.

Well, no, it means that he's better than like six, seven, eight that have been, have been batting. So let's add a guy to tell everyone else in the clubhouse that we're not giving up on you. If you don't do anything, then the GM is basically saying, you guys are kind of sucky and I don't want to give up future assets for anyone this year. You got in this mess. Now get out of it.

Yeah. I was talking mostly about the Red Sox. That's kind of what they're doing right now. Yeah. They're basically saying, yeah, like you guys are too far back right now for us to help you with something on the trade deadline. But the way that you spin it to the outside is like the old less miles. Like we got a damn strong football team.

We've got to come together here. Players only meeting. And before we get to our Firefest of the Week, just a reminder, BarstoolGold.com slash PMT. You want to watch Joe Harris, the interview. You want to watch the full show. You want to watch our bonus episode that's coming up next week. Who do we have on that? Are we going to do Don Brown?

I think so. Okay. Don Brown. Yeah. There you go. So go check it out. BarstoolGold.com slash PMT. Sign up right now.

Hank, start us off. Firefest of the Week. Firefest of the Week is kind of a continuation of mine from a few weeks ago, but I moved yesterday. Yep. Today I had moved one well, as well as it could go, as a regular move. There's always an issue. Yeah.

I got lost a few times. Mattress didn't fit in the U-Haul. It was a shit show. But you know that, I was ready for that. I told you before, when I was saying goodbye to Hank before his move on Tuesday, I was like, hey man, just so you know, there will be one big fight or one big fuck up. And there's nothing you can do to get away from it. Just embrace it.

Yeah. Because everybody's always upset when they're moving. You can't be in a good mood and go through like a three-day move. And plus you're like packing all your shit up. There's going to be little minor fights you get into with yourself, a lot of speed bumps along the way. Great feeling just getting rid of like 70% of my stuff. Oh yeah.

Like I was packing and I was like, you know what? Like I don't need any of this. Yeah. Moving is like flying. You just have to put on your most comfortable pair of basketball shorts, a shitty t-shirt, and say the next 24 hours are going to suck beyond belief. And one of the nice silver linings in moving though, you get into your new place and you don't have, oh, I can't unpack all my kitchen stuff.

You just have to eat pizza for like the next week. Right. So the 24 hours I was prepared for got through it and then today I had my cable scheduled from 9 to 12 to show up and I was like, all right, finally, like I'll be set up. Didn't come. Classic. Call me at like 1045. The guy was like, I'm looking for parking.

Like there's nowhere to park. Showed up at like 1155 and we had a meeting at one o'clock and I was like, how long is it going to take? Two to three hours. And I was like, well, fuck, like I have to reschedule. So I have no internet or cable for like a week. How did you schedule that when it happened? Did you move overnight?

Did you like, because I know that you were running some issues earlier with like you had to move out by a certain day and then you couldn't move in until a certain day. No, I got that figured out. Like I was able to move in the day before. I was going to suggest doing the old Baltimore Colts Mayflower truck. Yeah. Just living a truck. I'm straight out of there.

All right. So you're in. But I'm in no cable, no, no cable, no internet. So that's my firefest of the week. Yeah. And the worst part is, it was nine to 12, so I was just kind of like sitting in my bed doing nothing. And then at 12 o'clock, I was like, fuck, I probably should have like moved some of

my stuff in because I just wasted three hours doing nothing. That's going to hit you like a ton of bricks on like Sunday night. Yeah. And you're like, oh, okay. So. But good job. Good book. Yeah.

Read a book. Good job moving outside of football season. Yes. That would have been tough. That would have been real tough. Also, like what are you going to trick off to? No TV, no internet. Your imagination.

True. Old spank bank. Yeah. My firefest of the week is the fact that we've all been dead for seven years. Oh, yeah. Did you guys hear about this? No. So this was a thread that went viral earlier.

I'm all bought in on it. Back in 2012, the large Hadron Collider was invented, which is that big circle thing out in Europe that smashes atoms into each other. And Stephen Hawking said that it was going to destroy the whole planet. Well, it turns out that a lot of people think that it did and that currently we're living in a computer simulation where like God is doing like a maddening. Sim season. And we're on we're going into number eight right now.

So that we can't be held accountable for anything that happens. No, we can't be accountable for a single thing that happens, which so we're all in free play right now. We're all computers being controlled by some artificial intelligence in the future. That's why you remember we talked about the Berenstein-Barrows theory. Yeah. About how a lot of people think that Berenstein-Barrows is spelled S-T-E-I-N at the end, but it's actually now spelled S-T-A-I-N.

Right. That all changed in 2012. So tiny glitches that the computer didn't get right. For example, Skechers Shoes. I always thought Skechers Shoes was S-K-E-T-C-H-E-R-S. Turns out it's not. There's no T in there. Oh.

It's a low T now. It's a low T shoe. That changed in 2012 too. Nobody remembers it changing. When was when did Avril Lavigne die? When was that 2012? Was it that theory? Probably.

That theory that she's dead. Yeah. It's like an imposter for the last seven years. I think that's just a fact. That's just a confirmed fact. It would also explain the Giants were Super Bowl champions in 2012 when this happened. That would make sense. That's why Eli Manning is just timeless and he'll never lose his job because he's just

a robot that's being programmed and his durability is on 99. God's controlling us? Or Archie Manning. Okay. I was listening. God is a terrible gambler. That's a terrible gambler. Go off, take off.

Yup. That's true. Also, before 2012, everybody only knew Kevin Space. He has a great actor. Now he's a pedophile. A lot of things change. I didn't even exist. PFT commentary didn't exist before 2012.

So God is running my account and my voice. So if you've got a problem with PFT, you've got a problem with God. Take it up with Jesus. All right. That thread, by the way, I'm usually all in on that stuff. Avril Lavigne. Way too confusing. Oh.

I'm conspiracy theories. I was like, the top of the thread was like, we've been living in a simulation. Here's why. And I was like, let's go. And by the end of it, I was like, I'm out. This is way too confusing. There's another theory. I'm not going to get into it right now that I read up on last weekend that basically

says that if you are not currently, there's a theory out there of where we are as a human species in relation to advanced artificial intelligence, where if you understand the theory, then you will go insane and die. Hank, stop reading. I don't think any of us are smart enough to really go insane. No. Hank could read enough about it. If Hank got high enough, he might be able to understand it.

Stop reading, Hank. That's an order. Don't read that book. All right. My firefest the week is I have a new addiction. I'm addicted to Madden codes and giving them out and playing God. I'm like the simulator God. It started as a joke on Wednesday.

I gave out some fake Madden codes. Then on Thursday, I said, I have a bunch of Madden codes to give out who wants one. Also fake. I had a thousand replies in three minutes. Realize at that point that I was kind of a little too in too deep because my mentions are just people being like, my little brother's birthday is coming up. Can I get a Madden code? Or like, I can't pay the rent.

Can I get a Madden code? It's a mess. So Madden actually gave me some codes. Now I have real codes and fake codes. So no one knows what's going on. I've been given out real codes, but also still given out fake codes. And I like to hold it over people because people are just begging. Why else would you have them?

Bend your knee and maybe I'll give you a code and maybe it will be real and maybe it will be fake. I like how you're the opposite of the boy who cried wolf. The first two times you did it. Yes. It was a total lie. Oh, wait, wait, no, it is the you are the boy. Well, now except that parable doesn't mean shit because everybody kept believing you.

Right. And the problem is that I've come into now is that I've gotten a bunch of real codes, but I haven't kept track of which ones I've given out. So the end of this joke will be me earnestly giving a real code to someone. We think that's fake. OK, yeah, they'll put it put in and be like, wait, this doesn't work. Gotcha. Even though.

But listen, you guys got to try it. Giving someone a fake code and then having them be like, thank you. It takes about 20 minutes for them to get to their, you know, Xbox or PS4 station, put it in. I'm already gone. It's a perfect crime. I'm long gone. Yeah, you're just in the wind. But but that thank you.

I still have it. That's true. Well, as somebody who's playing God, you should know the only code for eternal life is John three sixteen. OK, so that's actually not one of the codes I got. But I'll write I'm I'm giving that code out. So I'm going to actually give out a real code. I'm going to give out a real Xbox code. Liam's going to give out a PS4 code.

I'm going to give out the first 16 16 digits of the of the Xbox code. I'll give out the other eight later on in the show. When you're going to give him his maybe at the end, maybe at the end of the show. I think Liam has a bet to settle with us. He's going to give out a punishment. Liam's going to give out a PS4 code. OK, so here's a real a very real Xbox code. The first this is the first 12 numbers letters.

X, H. Oh, it's actually more than that. Fuck, these are long. All right. Here we go. X. Wait, wait, wait. When you're giving out these letters, use use words from the alphabet. OK, describe each one. OK, so here we go. This is the first 15 digits from the code. And I'll give out the other 10 later. X is in Xylophone, H is in Hank, R is in Redskins.

Be careful. X is in Xylophone. W is in when T is in low T three to R is in was it Redskins? H is in Hank. H is in Hank. Seven to nine D is in Dan. That's there we go. So I'll give out the other 10 on the other side. Yeah. So yeah, I'm addicted, guys. It's actually a problem.

And I I already know that essentially for the rest of the year, I'm going to have people just asking me for code. Oh, it's never going away. And then next year, when it comes back, they're going to be like, oh, did you get codes again? So I'm just a code guy. I'm personally going to ask you for code as late as November. This is what I am. I'm just the code guy.

You did a good job with the letters, by the way. Thank you. I used to work in a call center and people would always say like the name of our appliance to me. And they all started with a P and hearing people try so hard not to say penis. When they're like, yeah, P is in Pierre. Yes. It was always real tough for me. Like if you have if you have a potty mouth, the first the first word that comes up in your head is always a bad one.

Yep. Yeah. All right. So let's do our Mount Rushmore. Want to do the Mount Rushmore Mount Rushmore of press conference moments. This is going to be good. There's a lot of good ones. We'll put in some good ones, too. We'll put them into the show so you can hear them refresh your memory. Now, we're not we're who the fuck is going.

We're limiting this to just sports because there are some others from the political world we could go with. Like Bud Dwyer would be a great one or Bill Clinton. I did not have sexual relations with that woman. So it has to be sports involved. Yes, I'm going first. OK, that's a lot of pressure on me. All right, fine.

I'll go first. I'll just do Allen Iverson practice practice. I actually just did the other one that I have on the list. That was a good that was you'll hear that one later practice. All right. So who's not talking about a game practice? Are you up? I think I'm up. Well, put it in, put it in. I supposed to be the franchise player and we in here talking about practice. I mean, listen, we're talking about practice, not a game, not a game,

not a game. We talking about practice. OK, I'm up. I'm going to go with I'm a man. I'm 40. Good one. Mike Gundy. Flip in his shit. This is pre-mullet, Mike, going to I think I actually think that this is the incident that spurned Mike Gundy to grow a mullet. That's why I don't read the newspaper.

Because it's garbage in the editor that let it come out is garbage. Where are we at in society today? Come after me. I'm a man. I'm 40. I'm not I'm not a kid. Write something about me. I know what Hank's about to do. I have to. That's fine.

You know what? I have a backup plan. I have a backup plan. I'm not doing anything. You that's fine. I have a backup plan. I have a backup plan. Jim Calhoun took a mecca. That's fine.

I fucked up. I fucked up. I didn't take Ryan Gomes. I didn't take you fucked up. Jesus Christ Almighty. It's been written about. It's been talked about. Don't shake your fucking head.

You ask a question. I'm telling you how I feel about it. I took a mecca over for in Karan. Butler. They're not bad. I can't take every player. We have 13 scholarships. When I saw him, he was six foot five, two hundred and sixty five, seventy pounds. When he graduated, we took Karan.

He didn't wait to get his SAT score in the spring. It took Wayne Simone 18 months to convince. And I believe that's a quote I believe by Tim Welch to convince him to take the kid. Same thing Tim Welch saw, except we had to get a mecca and they didn't. And we had to get Karan and they didn't. But I'm tired of talking about it. Ryan, I just said. It's one of the best players sitting on a league and starting to be look like one

of the best players in the country. I don't know what else I can say. And if you want me to say fucked up, I fucked up. Write it. I'm sure. I mean, I wasn't even expecting it. I didn't even write that on the list. They're not bad. I assumed you were going to take Ryan Gomes was two hundred and sixty five

pounds coming out of high school, which fucked up, which is the funniest part. I mean, take everyone took a mecca over for and Karan Butler. And then he does like thick Boston. They're not bad. It's just crazy that it's funny because like Ryan Gomes wasn't that great. I mean, like all things considered. I'm not going for Karan Butler. He actually made the right decision.

I got to back up. And then I will go with Ron Cincinnati, Bill Belichick. OK, one. Well, you think having a thirty seven here on a Cincinnati. That's guy. And you know what? I was thinking about that. Is that the goat Belichick moment? Or I think it was the same season when he just did Seattle, Seattle.

Yeah, that was a good run. Yeah, a lot of a lot of time spent saying nothing that season. My second pick is going to be the Bears are who we thought they were. And we let them off the hook. Crown their asses. The Bears are who we thought they were. That's why we took the damn field. Now, if you want to crowd them, then crown their ass.

But they are who we thought they were. And we let them off the hook. That's good green RIP. Yep, a real one. RIP, Denny Green. All right, I will go with Herm Edwards. Play to win the game. You play to win the game.

Hello. Hello. You play to win the game. We got to put these in because we're doing a terrible job of repeating these. The one that I like that pick because Herm Edwards has basically lived the last like 25 years just repeating sayings from that. You play to win the game. All right, my next one.

So this is what I kind of alluded to with my first one. I screwed up the practice tone, Jim Mora. Playoffs. Mm hmm. Playoffs. Can't you kidding me? You kidding me? Playoffs. Playoffs. Don't talk about playoffs. You kidding me? It's like the mouse voice. Yeah, Timothy RIP. RIP.

Sam Scowdy got him. Scowdy got that ass. All right, my next one, I'm going to go with. I'm going to go with Lou Gehrig. Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth when he was retiring. OK. Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. It's a classy statement from a class act. OK. That's a good one. Yeah. Thanks, Hank.

My last two, I will go with March on Lynch. I'm just here so I don't get fined. Great one. Hey, I'm just here so I don't get fined. And John Calpari, John Cheney. Yes. I'll kill you. I'm going to kill you when I find you. I'm going to kick your ass. Need more of that in sports. Yes, absolutely.

Great one. Great one. All right, my last one, I'm going to go with Jim Tomsula farting. One of the examples of football is we have good core bags losing their confidence. OK, that's a good one. Do we know if it was a fart? It was definitely a fart. Yeah, definitely a fart.

You lifted up the cheek. That is a fart move for. He's a fart guy. Like, if you think of fart guys, Jim Tomsula comes up in the dictionary and he doesn't give a shit that he farted in the press conference. People asked him about it afterwards and he was like, so what? Yeah. Yeah, I'm a guy.

We talk about all the time, like football guys, there's video game guys. There's porn guys, Jim Tomsula, fart guy. All the above. Yeah. All right, my backup, which actually some we can embrace the bait. Some may say is the more iconic because I love the I fucked up. But maybe the more iconic Jim Calhoun, not a dime back. Considering that you're the highest paid state employee and there's $2 billion budget debt.

Yeah. Not a dime back. Not a dime back. Not a dime back. I'd like to be retired someday. Not a dime back when they started accusing him of having too big of a salary. And you got to watch it because it has many classic Jim Calhoun moments. But the reporters like you make $1.6 million and he goes, I make a hell of a lot more than that. And then he and then he ended it with my best advice to you.

Shut up. He said that to a reporter. So not a dime back. That's not a dime back. Jim Calhoun. Lot of honorable mentions I got. Yeah. So an honorable mention that happened well before we were born is Cubs manager Lee Ilya, who had the classic like bashing of all the Wrigley,

the bleacher bums and I'll read a couple of quotes for you from that. It's all time one. But he called he called the fans, the Cubs fans. He said the motherfuckers don't even work. That's why that's why they're out at the fucking game. They got to go out and get a fucking job and find out what it's like to go out and earn a fucking living. Eighty five percent of the world is is working.

The other 15 percent come out here, a fucking playground for the cocksuckers. And he just went off. That's really good. Yeah. Shout out, Robert, Chicago legend, who's one of all time poop, poop pants guy. He so he happened to record his 1983. So there wasn't like video and everything. He happened to record it.

There's only three people standing in there and he ran it and it was like in all time, just bashing the fans. What else we got? That's pretty strong. I would just say the entire press conference where Bobby Petrino showed up in the neck brace with the road rash all over his face after driving off the road with his mistress at Arkansas. That was just just seeing a guy give an actual press conference. Looking like that was incredible.

How about Jim Mora? Also, Jim Mora, we couldn't do Diddley Poop. Yep. Yeah. An offense. We couldn't do Diddley Poop. That's a good one. How about the time that Big Ben just wore a fedora for that one day? He looked like a booger. He looked like no. He looked like a. Oh, that was slick back. Big Ben. Yeah, that's what he looks like.

Yeah. When he was wearing the fedora, that's when he looked like the Dalmatians. Or yeah, the guy, the lawyer for Carole Deville. Yes. Larry Bird ain't walking through that door. That's good, Rick Petrino. We coming. Dicca, who you're crappin. When he's calling out some hypocrisy, who you're crappin. Also, Dicca for the Saints. Mike Singletary. Mike Singletary.

I want winners. I can't win with them. Can't do it. Can't have them. Can't do it. All people that want to win. And that's right after he wiped his ass in the locker room. Yes. Yes. We're from Davis. What about obviously TO doing sit-ups in his driveway? Well, answering questions. I was iconic.

I've also got the same time he cried. No, that was different. So he cried. That's my quarterback. That was when he was in Dallas. Yeah, I would put I consider putting this one on the list, but not really sports. George Bush on the golf course, talking about invading Afghanistan

when he said, now watch this drive. That's a good one. Dwight Howard, Stan Van Gundy. When Stan Van Gundy is like, yeah, Dwight wants me traded. And then he walked right up all chummy. And I was like, who said that? They're like, Stan just said that second ago. That's an all time awkward press conference.

What else? Anything else? I mean, those are I mean, Mike Tomlin has a bunch of them, but I don't know which one of the nonsense. Riley Curry. Riley Curry. Good call. Yeah. Well, good call. She was a one and done kind of flashed at the pan. LeBron, when he stood up and walked out in his angus young

in the shorts shorts shorts. He looks ridiculous with the fucking sling. Like when he pretty much broke. And yeah, pretty much broke. Yeah, I mean, you could say LeBron. Basically broken. Take my talents to South Beach. Iconic. Oh, yeah. Press moment.

That's true. When you made all those kids from Ohio cry. Are we going to get dragged online for bringing up all these bad LeBron thing? No, all you got to do is remind everyone that Taco Tuesday, is it racist? We're wondering. That's just what you got to say,

just to protect yourself from the LeBron stance. Just reverse it. It's basically playing Uno and we just reversed it on. Gotcha. Yeah. The problem is, though, that's been co-opted by some really dumb people. Like we're joking about LeBron. Is he racist? Yes.

But then it's been co-opted by actual idiots online. Yeah, you're right. Have blue check marks and shows in Tennessee. Correct. Yes. Yeah, allegedly. Yeah, maybe ruin the fun. Probably get LeBron to stand next to him next time before he has like a family reunion.

Just throw all that chalk up in the air. Hopefully some will. He ruined the fight. There's nothing worse than having fun with something that we all know is not true. But it's like, hey, this is a fun thing to throw out there and then have someone actually say it dead serious and just ruin it forever.

Well, some people, besides that person, are actually saying that about it. OK. They're saying, well, what they're saying is like, talk or Tuesday is great. Maybe just don't do the accent at the end. That part is, yeah. I was showing, that was in quotation marks, by the way.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were, no, that's fair use. We're providing commentary on the III that he did. Quote. 3X9VWCVF2Z. There we go. OK. Hopefully they figured it out.

I wonder what that could be. Who's going to get it? All right, should we go to. This is a great Mount Rush where this is all positive, good vibes in the room, good energy from all three of us. Yeah, it was. I mean, the Lou Gehrig thing kind of bummed me out. But yeah, everything else was good.

I was, I kind of, yeah. I didn't say it was a bad pick. No, it's not a bad pick. Listen, sometimes you got to tug the heart strings. Bummed me out a little. All right, let's get to our interview with Joe Harris. How great would it be if a coach just, like, won a Super Bowl and then died with a smile on his face after the game at the podium?

Like, Dick Vermeel definitely would have been the guy to do that. I guarantee you Mike Vrable would absolutely take that. We should just put in Dick Vermeel crying. Yeah, one time. No, the other time. The other other time. Yeah, yeah, the other other time. Was that time?

Yeah, the other other time. OK, let's get to our interview with Joe Harris. Very good time with him. I think we're actually like best friends with him now. We're in his crew. Before we do that, a word from our friends, it's simply safe. According to studies, just over 10% of break-ins are planned beforehand. The rest are spur of the moment crimes of opportunity.

In other words, random. Did you know most break-ins happen between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. in the middle of the day? According to the FBI, the average loss in a burglary is over $2,000. That can be hard to recover from. Homes without home security are 300% more likely to be broken into. 65% of burglars are committed by someone the victim knows. July and August are when the most burglars occur.

And what's crazy is that only one in five homes have home security, maybe because most companies really don't make it easy. That's why simply safe is our top choice. Hands down. We actually have a friend, Stephen Che, producer also has a podcast. He does the box minute. He does the box minute he got broken into. Now he has simply safe.

Now he's protected. Simply safe protects every door, window and room with 24 seven professional monitoring. They make it easy on you. There's no contract hidden fees or fine prints. Simply safe has won a ton of awards from CNET to the New York Times. Wirecutter prices are always fair and honest around the clock. Monitoring is just $15 a month.

So they know our show sent you that simply safe.com slash PMT. OK, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is Joe Harris, three point champion, Brooklyn, your Brooklyn Nets. Let's actually start there are the Nets to the Nets own New York. I wouldn't go that far. Make a headline.

Let's go. No, no headlines to start. We might work our way into it. OK, do you guys own Brooklyn? Oh, we definitely own Brooklyn. OK, I hope hopefully, you know, I don't want to impose on the old Brooklyn Dodgers. We were Brooklyn College. Or there's L.I.U. Yeah, well, now you got the Islanders to Islanders.

Yeah, we share, you know, share the Barclays with the Islanders. You have phone Brooklyn. Yeah, really get out on a limb there. OK, yeah, we say that we have phone Brooklyn. So you guys did make a big splash this off season a couple of weeks ago. How big of a part of the recruitment were you? Joe Harris. Oh, Joe Harris is all about the recruitment. Yes. Yeah. No, I didn't take any part in the recruitment. I let the other guys kind of handle the bulk of that stuff.

But you know Kyrie. I do know Kyrie. So did you text him at all? You talk, you know, over the course of the year. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, yeah. So there is a small part. Yeah, you recruited. Hell, yeah, you were supportive of the Nets efforts to land Kyrie DeAndre Kyrie and Kevin Durant. We're saying DeAndre's name first now. Yeah, yeah. When that all happened, though,

I mean, did you know before it all the news broke or did you find out like we did? The stuff with KD was pretty last minute, right? But Kyrie, we kind of all had an idea that he was going to be coming to Brooklyn. Yeah. And I mean, you must be very, very excited to have him. You guys were good last year. Yeah. You know, he went to the playoffs, played really hard and credit to you because I feel like part of the reason why those guys were all in on Brooklyn was how good you played last year. It's kind of like the Clippers in Kauai.

Yeah. A scrappy young team with some some, you know, yeah, in place. Yeah, you look at sort of, you know, the foundation of the organization. We have a lot of good young core pieces, you know, Karris is arguably up and coming, maybe all star at some point, young, really good developing players, Spencer, like Jared Allen. I mean, you can kind of go down the list. There's a lot of really quality players that I think attracted those guys that want to come and play with.

OK, so yeah, you did recruit. I think that I'm going to say through your play through the play through the play through the Nets play and also your past relationship with Kairi, who you kept in touch with this year. Yes. We're just trying to we're giving. We're connecting some dots right here. Helping. We're helping you. But you you have had it like kind of an amazing last few years in that

it's very rare for a second round guy to then have, you know, you started seventy six games last year, you saw this big new deal. Have you had a moment where you're like, Holy shit, I actually made it because a lot of the second round guys, they they'll play like a half a season being in Europe. No, it's so true. I mean, I look back at like my draft class and I mean, I don't know exactly how many guys are still around, but I mean, from 60 guys are drafted. I would guess it's probably like in the 20s. Yeah.

And this is sort of the turnover of the NBA. So especially the second round pick in my case, too. I mean, I thought I was going to be out of the league in my time in Cleveland. You know, I had I was traded and had surgery released. And then I was basically one foot out of the NBA. Got a chance with Brooklyn. Yeah. So so tell me exactly how what was the break? I'm always fascinated with a guy like Joe Harris first,

named a million other guys who get drafted in the second round, who have maybe the same talent, but don't get that break. They get in the wrong team, whatever it may be. So what was the the break or the defining point that kind of kept you around? Because a lot of guys, they get hurt and then they're gone. Yeah, no, I mean, 100 percent. Yeah, I think with me, you know, I was lucky where Brooklyn was in this weird sort of situation where they didn't have any draft picks.

So they weren't they had to figure out creative ways to sort of stockpile young talent. And at that time, I was still, you know, 23 years old, like relatively young. You know, I hadn't really solidified anything in the NBA, but I did have whatever specific niche in terms of shooting. Kenneakinson had come from Atlanta, wanted to kind of plug in guys that he thought would sort of be similar to what they had with the good teams in Atlanta. And my comparison was Corver. Right.

So it was like he kind of saw a little bit of of me within Kyle and just sort of played that kind of card. And that was that was my break right there. Yeah. I mean, that's fascinating. Yeah. Yeah. So at what point, whether it was on the calves, maybe you had this moment or maybe it wasn't until a little bit later. But at what point did you realize, like, I can fit in, I can actually play in this league, I can compete with these guys. You know, I think early on, I did have some opportunities in Cleveland.

But it's one of those things where the adjustment, you know, for some guys, it takes a little bit longer than others. And for me, I was kind of just thrown into the fire right away. I didn't know they have an opportunity to sort of learn through any of the mistakes. You know, I get I get drafted by Cleveland. It's a young team. Pre LeBron. Pre LeBron. Yeah, it looks like, you know, it's a brand new coach.

It's a young developing team. And then overnight, it just changes into a championship contender. When LeBron comes back, a lot of trades are made. And so it's basically I'm in the situation where, you know, if I'm not helping them play at a championship level, then I'm not going to play. Right. And the opposite was what would happen in Brooklyn when I got a chance, got opportunity, but I also was able to learn through my mistakes.

Right. You know, we were a young developing team and they wanted guys to kind of, you know, take their loon or their wounds right away and develop in that direction. So that's fascinating to me because I feel like you can talk to a bunch of people who like, yeah, I was there, I got drafted and just things didn't break my way. Essentially, the nets previous regime being terrible with draft capital made Joe Harris, pretty much, and they missed out on some restricted free agents. And then you're out of space and they need a break. Yeah, exactly.

That's it. When, when, when the Cavs got LeBron, did you ever get in one of his dinner pictures? Did you make it to the La Familia? I didn't make it to La Familia. I didn't think so. I mean, Kevin loved to even make it in La Familia. That's, that's a tough, it's tough to crack into that. Did you, was there ever a moment where you opened up Instagram and saw literally all your teammates except you out to dinner in La Familia?

Yeah. And then Deli and I kind of, you know, formed our own little La Familia. It might. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that sucks. That sucks. So you were buddies with Deli on that team, huh? Yeah. Deli's one of my best friends. Is he really? To this day? Yep. Would he say the same? He would say the same.

OK. Oh, I hope so. I mean, I was in his wedding. Yeah, I got a check. Got a check. Yeah. So, so you and him, you guys were thick as thieves. When you were getting into the league, did he like, did he take you under his wing? He's like, I might, he's which he needs to kind of fly into the radar. Mike Fringe with LeBron, Mike Peace. Or like, did he give you any advice coming to the league? Yeah, I mean, honestly, I have Deli to thank for sort of why I was able to stick in the NBA.

Deli is like one of the most like professional guys I've ever been around in terms of like taking care of his body, you know, punctuality, being early, you know, just overall professionalism. He's the type of guy that sort of embodies what it means for like under the radar, you know, chip on your shoulder guy to make it in the NBA. So I learned a lot just, you know, being around him and seeing how he conducted himself with the Cavs. Did he teach you how to hit people in the nuts real secretively?

He's good at that. He kills snakes. Hey, he's just playing hard, man. Yeah, right. That's all it is. OK, you are best friends with him. Because only his best friend would say that. Can we talk about the series against Sixers? Yeah, we can talk about that. OK, yeah.

Can we talk about the NBA deadly dust up? Yeah, we can definitely talk about that. Can we talk about how you I've never seen a person walk slower to a scrum than Joe Harris? You even picked up the ball. I mean, I was just like triple a little. Yeah, you were so scared. You got behind J.J. Reddick as your human shield. I got behind some fans, I think when I when I when you were coming in here

and we're doing research, I was like, I wonder where he was. I bet you he didn't really get in this and your performance even shocked my expectations of you not getting in that scrum. You were so far away from the action. Uh, I mean, I wasn't that far. Oh, Mike, we could pull up the clip. Yeah, we'll watch it right now. You were very smart.

You don't want to hurt your team. Yeah, like if you go out there and you knocked you on beat out with a clean. I mean, I had the ball in my hand. I thought about throwing it. It's a business decision. I get it. But was there ever a point where you're like, maybe I need to just show put a little good tape out there that I have my teams back? Yeah.

Yeah, I probably I probably should have looking back on it. I mean, actually, I haven't even seen the footage. Oh, my God, there's an underneath down. I've got it right here. There's an under underneath the or like behind the hoop. I'm waiting for the video ad to end behind the hoop shot that is so, so bad. Well, let's see it. Here we go. Uh, all right.

You know, I kind of waited for it to develop a little bit. You know, I wasn't sure what was going on. All right. Here we go. Here we go. Ready? Watch this. Watch. OK, wait, wait, wait. Let me back up so I can shoot because you don't even know that Joe's on the court. That's how slow he goes to the thing. OK, so here he's all the way over here. This is the background. All right.

And they say, hey, the arms up was a good look. He picks up the ball. He everyone is there now. And he look at him. He's barely in the screen. Like, hey, he's pushing JJ in the back and like, hey, you go handle it. You go handle it. It looked like you were going to the stand select.

I'm the fan. I'm the peacemaker. You saw a fan get their popcorn knocked over. You're like, let me get you almost got out of the screen because you weren't there. Yeah, let's see. Other angle, maybe maybe you have maybe some tape out there. You know, you're not even in the screen here. Oh, wait, here you come.

Oh, there he is. Slowly, slowly walking in. Hey, JJ, you got this, JJ. And then you sort of like pat someone on the back. So yeah, talk us through that. I mean, are you I think you need to hit someone next year? Yeah, yeah, I'm going to have to redeem myself for that. The punch.

Yeah, I'm going to punch somebody. Yeah, right after we play against Dallas or just go at Bobon. Yeah, oh, yeah, I would be good. You don't want that smoke. That would be good. No, I actually appreciate that because that's probably exactly what I would do in that situation. And it was very relatable that when I pulled it up and it's like, where's Joe?

It kind of got me on guard though. Really slow. Well, you don't expect to like that. I mean, like, that's what happens to playoffs. Hard playoff fouls lead to hard playoff confrontations. I love it. And Dudley, too, of all people. I mean, he went a little crazy.

I love that little crazy. There that was what was it when you get in that kind of playoff series and guys start to sort of kind of hate each other. Yeah. Do you feel with that series? It was pretty chippy the right time. Yeah. Do you feel a difference in the play?

And was anyone going at Joe Harris and talking to you? No, nobody was going at me. But I mean, like the series, it got it got chippy. You know, there were some hard fouls, especially with Embiid and Jay. And I think that's kind of where Dudley was like, all right, and sort of crossed the line because Jarrett is this 21 years old. Like he's like, you know, he's sort of introvert. He's not going to go out of his way to confront Embiid.

But he's like one of our, you know, premier players, young sort of like cornerstones for the organization. And JD was just, you know, I think it kind of got to a boiling point. Right. Right. What's the conversation in the locker room? Like after a game like that, where there's like a lot of emotions running high. I can tell you, Joe was like, did you see what I did to that guy? Fuck, you killed him.

Yeah, I would have fucked him up. But I had the ball in my hand. Dude, you should have seen it. I know there would have been a technical fight throwing the ball into the stand. So I had to hang on to that. Otherwise, it would have swung. Good thing JJ Redick was slowly walking in front of me. Otherwise, it would have been on.

That's about right, actually. Sometimes that like brings the team together. Sometimes it just drives them to the point where they're too emotional. And they kind of, they go over the edge and they can't come back and they lose a series. Like, what was that like in the locker room afterwards? Where did it go? To be honest, I mean, nobody was talking a lot about that incident in particular. It was more just like how we had finished the game and, you know, sort of losing.

I forgot how much we were up by, but sort of blew the leaves sort of at the end. And then I think at that point we were down three one. So it's sort of hard. Like you're coming back. It's like nobody's really getting caught up in what happened with Embiid and JD. Right. Right. I think you guys, I think you guys didn't cover the spread and you were up by a shitload. Now that I'm actually replaying it, you you guys screwed me.

There was a Saturday. I remember I bet on you guys. It was against the sixers and you did cover the spread. So whatever Saturday that was, thank you. No, yeah, you guys. Yeah, a couple hundred dollars. You guys blew this game, blew it. It was like an eight point spread and you and you ended up your up going into the fourth quarter.

I knew there was one game in this series where I was very mad about. So I'll figure that out. Are you ever cognizant of what the spread is? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, you just know part of sports now. It's actually kind of funny though that you say that because before the playoff series with the sixers, they brought up sort of like the gambling odds, like where we were projected to finish or to finish the season from the start.

And they talked to like went through like the Vegas odd books and all that stuff. Like the coaches were using it as a pregame speech. And afterwards, Ed Davis and I were like, where the hell is the NBA going? Like we literally are just talking about the odds like it's nothing. Right. Yeah. Right. Adam Silver's smart. He's he's kind of open, you know, open arms. It's it's so crazy that the other commissioners don't realize what Adam

Silver's realizes that like gambling is going to be legalized everywhere. So you might as well get in front of it and let it all in. So he's trying to get a piece of that pie. Right. Why wouldn't I know exactly? What do you think is about his idea to do like midseason tournaments? It's interesting. We were actually talking about that the other day, too. I don't know.

I mean, it seems like it would be it's a good idea, maybe on paper, but like to be the first one to do it, like the guinea pigs for it, you know, everybody's going to throw a fit. Like if you have a tournament like game 50 in the season, I mean, right, I don't know. Like what are like the top, the premier teams thinking about like, you know, playing in this like half this tournament that's like sort of meaningless. Correct. You have to play off on the horizon.

Yeah. Well, the outcome of that be like if you won that midseason tournament, what is he saying that that would mean for the I mean, I think there. I don't think it affects the postseason necessarily at all. It's just like a trophy. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Then there would be like a lot of if somebody gets injured in that, then it's a whole thing becomes a big. Yeah. When you guys I'm really interested about like the dynamic that's going to affect you guys, because you have a nice young core on the Nets.

You're adding a superstar in Kyrie. Katie is going to be there in a couple of years. Like how soon after you sign these guys, do you start to implement like any changes to what you've got going like like in terms of the offensive scheme and all that? You know, that's an interesting question. I don't know like how much they're planning on changing up. To be honest, Kenny, the way that he coaches to he's

very good based off of the personnel that he has. And so he sort of implements and he's pretty transparent with the two. Like he's going to have like a lot of communication with Kyrie, the new guys in terms of like, you know, what they're comfortable playing with in terms of like offensive philosophy. But he does a really good job of just letting guys play sort of freely. Like there isn't like a whole lot of like schematics like involved with it. It's more based off of just like feel and like reading react.

Like that's what a lot of our offense was in the past. And I don't see that necessarily changing a ton, unless like, I don't know, one of these guys has got a problem with it. Right. Yeah. Have you talked to Katie yet? Yeah. Has he mentioned us? You know, he didn't. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure he did.

But I could. He might have. You just said, did you ask DeAndre? I mean, yeah, he said, yes. He said, maybe. He said, maybe. Yeah. He said, yes, Joe. Yes. Yes. He said, yes, Joe.

No, no. Has he talked about the blog boys? Yeah. The blog boys. Yeah. I mean, you guys are taking up a little space in that hit, I think. No, we like, we like Katie now. We are Katie guys back. Yeah. Yeah. We've totally flipped. I mean, we were we are Team Snake. Although it's.

Yeah. Is that a bad thing? Because you just mentioned earlier, like, you know, your coaches had up on the wall, like these were your odds to make the playoffs. These are your odds to like win this series. A lot of teams play better when they've got that chip on their shoulder. Katie might be that guy that's like out there to prove all the blog boys wrong. So now that we like him, I think about it. He might have some stuff in his locker.

So you guys. So you give us front row seats. And we'll realize information. We'll trash the nets. Actually, yeah, that'll work. He gets motivated. You get a championship. I like it. Do you have a ring? No, I don't.

Oh, fuck. Yeah. I trade in January. I didn't mean to bring that up. Yeah. Water in the fridge. What is your nickname? My nickname. Because I've read it. I found it.

And there's seven of them. Yeah. I don't know how that even started, to be honest. I mean, so what is it? I mean, pretty much all the guys on the team just call me buckets. Buckets. That's pretty good. So I've seen Joey Hoops, beef jerky Joe, Joey Moses, Sasquatch. So are you Joey Buckets? I would say just buckets.

Okay. Mr. Buckets. You can call. Yeah. If you want to keep it formal. Dr. Buckets. Okay. I'm working on that. Okay. I like to. Jimmy Butler used to Stacey King.

The Bulls color announcer used to do Jimmy G Buckets and the G stands for gets. Maybe you do that because he's in Miami now. No one even, like, no one's going to keep up anymore. So Joey G Buckets, the G stands for gets. Yeah. We can work that out. I mean, I'll I'll shoot Ian Eagle a text after this just to get some clarification.

Ian does the Nets games? Oh, yeah. A lot of people are going to find that out this year. No, he's been doing for like 20 years. Yeah. I know a lot of people are going to find that out. Yeah. That's that story about Kyrie Irving. I think Ian was telling this on some other podcasts,

which I won't name, but Kyrie went up to the dude in front of Ian Eagle on a train. He goes, Hey, man, I just want to say, like, I've been listening to you for 20 years. I'm so glad that you're going to be calling my games now. And I was behind the guy was like, Hey, I think you're supposed to be talking to me about this. That's awesome.

It's just like some random dude in front. That's awesome. But he's one of those guys where, like, you know his voice when you hear it. Oh, probably. Oh, yeah. It's a game. Yes. Football, you know, he does NFL games.

Yeah. His name should be Ian. Have you ever asked him that? Never asked him that. OK, we'll do that. Write that down. Write that down. When are you going to get the classic white guy, glow up haircut?

You mentioned Kyle Korver. Yeah. You look at Kyle Korver throughout his career. You know, they basically every white guy does the same thing. They come in with their floppy gross hair. Yeah. And then after say Gordon Hayward.

That's actually a good point. Yeah, Gordon. Even JJ. Yeah, JJ. You had Kyle Korver, Kirk Heinrich. You can go down the list. So you have not realized that you I'm in that stage right now.

Yeah. It's like, you know, I mean, you're I'm going into year six now. So I think it's a little late. No, no, no, no, no. It's a slow progression. OK, you're OK? All right. You need to get on timing.

You gain like 10 pounds of muscle, like get a little bit of tattoos. Yeah, get a little bit of a bicep and a sick euro kind of haircut. Yeah. So when's that happening? I mean, it's sort of inevitable, right? Yeah, people will respect you so much more. They'll be like, oh, you know who's been doing well? Joe Harris.

I swear to God, that will be the that will be the conversation. Haircut and tats. Yeah, one or the other. You got to get like a left sleeve. Or I could just go to the opposite. I could just let it go. Or get to business. Oh, the long hair.

Yeah. I mean, Gordon Hayward, you can actually track his career progression from like, you know, regular guy to, you know, big time contract guy with his hair cut and his muscles. I wouldn't do. I wouldn't do the long hair. The long hair, it screams just like awkwardness, even if you're not doing anything awkward on the court. Trust me, I know.

Like, nothing that you do on the court looks smooth. Like, look at Kelly Ubre, look at all these guys. Like, if they fall down, if they get crossed up, it looks so much worse. Basically, that's the only way point. The hair would just be going one way. It pops. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, if you get faked out of your head, you go this way,

and then there's a big wind thing coming back. I want to talk real quick about three point contest. Yeah. So you were really good in that. You lost me some money. Thank you for just kicking the shit. I mean, no, I didn't bet on you. I didn't.

I didn't know. No, I didn't. I had a hot tip. Steph Curry was fucking shh. I had a hot tip going into it. And Steph Curry was at home. Steph Curry was, it was Charlotte. Right.

It was. Del was there, the whole fucking thing. Yeah, that's true, yeah. So it was a tough night for me, but I've always wanted, like, people like you that are just absolutely wet from three points. When you practice in the gym, if you just got like racks and racks of balls, if you shoot 100 balls from three, how many do you make?

Nobody watching. Nobody watching? Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I guess we do this, this shooting drill with the Nets. Is it called the Nets 105? And the highest I've ever got is 91. So you shoot 105?

105-3s. Why? It's just like, I don't know. That would piss me off. Yeah. To just go out and you have to do the math to get shots up? No, no, no. Just do 100.

It's 105. Yeah, it would piss me off. Yeah, I don't know. So what was the average? I just do what I'm told, man. Yeah, 91. That's 90. That's bullshit.

89 percent. I hate to get the calculator out. That's like 89 percent. Because I always see, you know, you go to the gym, you see old guys at the YMCA, they're like 65 years old, wearing like sweat stained Russell athletic shorts. And it seems like they hit 50 percent of their 3s when they're just practicing.

I've always wondered, like, you know, a professional at the peak of their career, like you can just go to the gym and basically not miss from 3. Yeah, some guys, but I would say it's probably not as high of a clip as you would guess. I mean, shooting is one of those things where like some of those guys that are shooting at the YMCA, I mean, they might shoot better than half of the pros, to be honest. If they're just stationary and you're just shooting around.

Right, no one's running at you. Yeah, exactly. And you're just shooting shots on me. Yeah. Yeah. So why haven't you put these shots on Instagram? That's kind of a big deal. I got a lot in my phone.

I'm kind of waiting for the right moment. I feel like this interview happened at the perfect time because you are just a little wall of clay. And we need to fix you and mold you into something that can make max, max money. Joey Clout. Joey Clout. We need to get an Instagram up there of you going like 50 for 50.

Right. That would get the world buzzing. You would get so many more minutes. Carmelo almost made a comeback just from hitting like 15-3s. You play for Team USA. You'd be in Space Jam. These are important. I mean, these are important things.

Yeah. You got to get an Instagram person. Yeah, we'll get you. We'll help you out. We'll be part of your, how big is your crew? My crew? Yeah. When you meet my crew.

When you came with a few guys, how many like, how deep do you roll? I mean, those are the Nets PR department. They're big stoolies. Oh, okay, nice. Nice, nice. And then this joker, this is one of my best friends. So is he part of the crew? Is he part of the crew?

No, no, no. Oh, okay. So technically not part of the crew. He's out, sorry. He's a remote crew. So what you're saying, and correct me if I'm wrong, you have no crew that lives in New York. That's true.

And then there's two guys who live in New York. That would be in a crew. In the crew, we would be happy to do it. Yeah. Yeah. How late do you stay up, though? I got to talk to Chris about it first. Oh yeah, we can talk about Chris Long.

So you do the water boys with Chris Long, which is a great charity. I would imagine Chris is a little bit of a mentor in that. Yes. So what was your reaction when he found out he was addicted to marijuana? That had to be tough, right? Really tough. He's a heartbreaker.

Yeah. Yeah, just ruins your image of a guy. Will not stop smoking weed. You think you know somebody? I mean, his body's been through a lot. That's true. That's true. We're not going to push opioids on him, all right?

Right. That's true. Yeah. We've been Danny Kanell. Trying to change the image. Danny Kanell has the science is still out there, whether opioids are as bad as marijuana, but we'll find out. Do you feel bad having this big guaranteed MBA contract

and not donating your entire salary to charity? Yep. Yeah. Chris really puts up a wall on that one. No, listen. He puts on the spot a little bit. Yeah. We're friends with Chris.

He was actually the first guest on the show like three and a half years ago. First ever guest. I listened to it. Yeah. Just be honest with us, though. Like Chris Long kind of fucked it up for everyone else. Like it's a try hard move.

I wouldn't say that. Okay. Joe's winking. Well, yeah. It's crazy. What was it that Brent McHenry said like he only did it to get the tax right off? Yeah.

It's like, but it was technically he made money by giving away the more money you give away. We need to look into this. You actually get paid for doing that. Dude, could you imagine going to UVA and like, well, at Virginia, we give away all of our money, right? Yeah. That's what Thomas Jefferson did, right?

I guess, bullshit. He ruined it for everyone. Yeah. Thomas Jefferson did that. Was that cool going from UVA to Cleveland and not having to change like your wallpaper or anything? So it's like Cavaliers. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it was easy. Think about that. Same number, Cavaliers. Just a little different shades. Yeah, that's easy for the folks at home to remember. I would like to just pretend that you guys didn't win the national championship last or this past year. So let's talk about the one verse 16.

Have you been doing more interviews since you won the national championship, knowing that people can't bring that up anymore? Yeah. I thought that I put that to rest, but you know. No, absolutely not. I mean, it will always be. It's the greatest story of redemption

in the history of sports. Let me. Oh, yeah. It's up there. I don't know. Arguable. OJ has still not been suspended by the NFL. That's true.

Well, yeah, we'll see what happens with OJ. I'm going to wait to see how his fantasy picks do this year. OK, we'll wait for that one. Was it tough going to Virginia and having Tony Bennett like recruit you knowing that he's eventually going to go back to Wisconsin? Yeah, I was actually a big worry for a lot of UVA fans. So let's get the rumor going again.

Yeah, we can start again to Wisconsin. I think his contract is like 12 years. Yeah, it's way too much money. It's also 12 years from now. I mean, right. When he lost to the UMBC, I was like, this guy's trash. I never want him. And now I'm like, please, please.

Once it was tough. It was going to be tough to get the stink of that loss off him. Now I think maybe he's bad. Would you say he's the best coach in the ACC? Oh, yes. He's the best coach in college basketball. Ooh, yeah. Better than Coach K?

Yeah. Do you think the pack line defense is cheating? No. It's bullshit, though. You're not a fan? No. You don't enjoy watching UVA games? Everyone just standing there and stopping everything

that gets through? Honestly, you have to watch UVA games and sometimes it'd be like, can I just turn this off? Yeah. Right? You probably did that while you were playing. I have an appreciation for the defense. Oh, yeah, that's my favorite.

Well, actually, they're the most efficient offense. Yeah. You don't realize it. You guys don't read Kim Bomb? Oh, I know Kim Bomb. Oh, they score 52 points a game, but they do it very efficiently. Yeah.

The most efficient. I'd imagine those practices were very tough, though, stealing that defense, right? Yeah, dude. When I got to the NBA, I was like, I was like, I can't believe what I went through for like four years at Virginia. Did you ever get thrown off in college

if you were playing on the road and they did that fake countdown on the shot clock? Were they counted down like three seconds too early? Oh, great question, PFT. That is a good question. No, I don't think that ever happened to me. I don't really handle the ball a lot, so it's like, shot clock was winding down.

I'm probably getting rid of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Make sure that someone else looks like an idiot. Yeah, exactly. That's actually smart. Yeah.

That's Joe Harris smart. The hot potato game. Yeah, we should probably ask you this question. You're a good test case for this. What is better, being really wet from three or dunking on a fool? I'm probably dunking. Yeah.

Yeah. I don't know, man. I kind of wish that I had a little more of that. Especially because you can be, you're so wet from three. Yeah, but if you want to, you can't have. Think about the modern NBA. Yeah. You got to be able to dunk.

I got a job because I can shoot threes. Exactly. The job because you can dunk. Yeah. But it's cooler to dunk on a fool. You know what's cool? It's a higher percentage shot. $16 million guaranteed.

That's not that bad. That's why man, Joe Harris, we're part of his crew. So how much do we get? We're forming right now. We'll work out numbers. What's the most expensive like steak dinner you've paid for since you got the contract? Steak dinner?

Yeah. Or like dinner or something. Yeah. What's the biggest purchase you've made? Biggest purchase? Yeah. Do you still rent? Yeah, I still rent.

You can't buy in the city. I can't buy in the city. No, you can't. That's when you know New York is the worst. That's the biggest indictment. The fucking NBA player just signed a $60 million contract. He's like, renting? Come on.

Yeah. There's a reason KD, Kyrie, and Deandre came at the same time. They're splitting the place. Yeah, right. Yeah. They're hanging out in Prospect Park together. They're at Murray Hill. Who's turn is it to clean the bathroom?

You've got a three bedroom, one bath in Murray Hill. Yeah. Murray Hill. Oh, I like that Joe Harris. No, I have not, but I like that. I'm a little too old for that. All right, my last question. It's a Seeky question promo code take.

Put it in. You get $10 off. Go to a Brooklyn Nets game this year. Go see Joe Harris wet from three. I guess I didn't actually, I got through all of our questions. I got a question for us. Yeah, so what is like the crew entail? What are you guys going to do for me?

We just mostly hang out and make money off your name. Videotape your shooting. You guys can like film some of my workouts maybe. Yeah, we'll film your workouts. We'll take your credit card and go get you lunch, but then buy some stuff for ourselves while we're at the Bodega. That's kind of what happens though with the crew, right? Yeah, that's what the crew does.

Take care of you guys. Yeah. Let's see. We'll motivate KD anytime you need. We'll respond to your DMs. So here's one thing KD has done really a good job of. If he responds to every DM that he gets on Instagram talking shit to him. But then what happens is people take the screenshots

and they tweet him out, keeps his name in the news. We'll respond to your haters on IG from your Instagram account. Then they'll screenshot that, keep your name in the news. Just anything to keep your name like bubbling around Rachel Nichols' like parameters. So she has some to report on. Right. We actually have a direct line to Rachel.

So we'll just tell her to gas you up. That and Chris Brassard. You guys are connected, yeah. Uh huh. And Ryan Racillo, although that doesn't. I don't know about that one. Joe was just like, who the fuck is that guy? We also, I would say.

Is he a bodybuilder or? Yeah. Pretty much. Aspiring. That would be his career highlight to hear you say that. I would say that we are the perfect level of intelligence slash stupidity to have a very deep but surface level conversation with Kyrie Irving. Yeah.

I mean, I saw the documentary about Flat Earthing. I could talk to him for at least a half hour about it. Yeah. You could get going on some, some deep conspiracy theories. Yeah. We're kind of in the same zone. Area 51. I'm sure he probably want to dive into that.

Oh, right. Yeah. We're not smart, but we are smart enough to talk about random things. Yeah. I mean, it is a fact that there aren't any flights that leave from Australia and go anywhere in the southern hemisphere. True. I look at flight patterns.

That's a fact. You can't argue the data. I do have one last question. This is according to your Wikipedia. It said that you had an extra bone in your foot. Is that true? You had surgery to remove an extra bone in your foot? Uh, no, I don't think that's true.

Wikipedia fails me again. Damn. That would have been pretty cool, though, if you did have an extra bone. But then I would be like, why are you taking my secret power away? Yeah. Like, maybe that's what got me there. So why did you have the surgery? I had, like, a volgine fracture.

So basically, just a bone had broken off and was floating in the side of my foot. So maybe that's the confusion. Kind of like an extra bone. Yeah, kind of like an extra bone. Yeah. Damn, Wikipedia failed us. It did. Yeah, that's too bad.

All right, Joe. It's like saying, like, Marshawn Latimore has an extra ligament floating around. Yeah, somewhere in there. Yeah, remove. Yeah, no shit. Joe, thank you. This isn't goodbye, because this is the start of the crew. Right, right.

So we're, we'll be at, I'm not going to go to more than like four or five games. Oh, that's fine. That is a big promise, right? Even saying four or five. Yeah, even saying that was really a lot. We'll go to four or five. Two games. Those will be all the playoff games.

Playoff games. Playoff games. I'm not going to any regular season games. We'll go to four games, seven home playoff games. Yes. That's for you. Okay. Okay.

I mean, that's more of the crew, though, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I, that's what I'm going to need you the most. Yeah, actually, we actually are perfect because even if you offer us free tickets, we're going to say no. Like, I don't think so. Yeah, I mean, that, that is a big bonus. You guys aren't demanding.

I can already tell. Yeah, yeah. A lot of times it's a very low maintenance relationship. Family and entourage are hitting you up all the time for all this shit. Tickets, tickets. Yeah, we're, you couldn't, like, you couldn't give me money to go to a next. So we're good. Yeah, that's perfect.

Those PR guys are going to love that. They'll watch it in the other room. She's shaking over there. All right. Thanks, Joe. Thanks, Joe. Appreciate it, guys. That interview with Joe Harris was brought to you by Dollar Shave Club.

This is for Carmelo Anthony because Damian Lillard said, hashtag vote for mellow farewell season. Hashtag stop playing mellow. So the question is, does Carmelo Anthony deserve a farewell tour?

Yeah, and Stephen A. Smith took the bull by the horns in this debate because I didn't even know this debate existed until he got on the air to say he's very sorry to have to say it, but he doesn't. This is a classic Stephen A. Smith thing too, where he takes an opinion that he probably didn't have to say out loud, but he brings it out there and he's just to show you what a journalist he is. He's like, listen, Carmelo is one of my favorite people on the planet, and it pains me to say this and to make a big news story out of it

and to make a lot of headlines out of this, but he does not deserve a farewell tour. Oh man, poor mellow. His farewell tour should have been the USA basketball. He should have played in the FIBA, whatever the hell is going on this summer, and that would have been great. He should just do a farewell tour of lifetime fitness is wearing the hoodie. Send hoodie mellow on a farewell tour to gyms.

I was going to say he should do a farewell tour where he just goes to each arena wearing a Darko jersey, just to remind people that Darko was in that draft. Because I feel like, you know, it went LeBron, Darko, Mellow, I think it was Bosch then Wade, but either way, Dwayne Wade and LeBron and Mellow, they're all like good friends, same draft, rings for the other guys, including Bosch, nothing for Mellow, got to remember people, remind people that Darko was that guy. Have to just get that back into the media like language. Maybe just have Carmelo go up to Detroit while they retire Darko's jersey.

And just have him be the one that lowers it from the rafters. It's just an important note that he needs to just hammer home like hey guys, don't feel bad for me, remember Darko, he's stunk. Or they could take him like city to city, once a year, have Lala go out on the court, and then reveal Carmelo coming out behind him like he's a troop, being brought home and have her run up and give him a big kiss. The answer though, what are you going to say? I think they broke up.

Oh, did they? No, I think they're okay. It would be even better if they broke up and they're getting back together. Yeah, that would make it even more emotional. I think the farewell tour, you need to have a ring. I think that's what- Are you talking about him being married still? No, no, no, no, no, the NBA championship.

I think you need to have a ring to get a farewell tour. I think that's what the threshold. Okay, so Steve Blake, farewell tour. Yes. Okay, sold. Adam Morrison, farewell tours. Yes. Okay, done.

Done. Don't you think though? Because he also, it hurts that Mellow, he, you know, peak Mellow was actually, you know, on the nuggets when he was, when they went to the Western Conference finals and almost beat the Lakers. But then he went to New York, was awesome there for a while. But it's like he's split between two fan bases. He was never that awesome in New York either.

No, but he had a couple years- He was pretty good for a couple years. That year when he like dragged them to like, I can't remember what seed they got, but he, he was scoring at an insane clip. Yeah. But Nix fans feel very, I don't, they don't love Mellow, because Mellow signed that big deal, which wasn't his fault, but- But winning 45 games for the Nix, that's like winning three championships for the Warriors.

Getting to the playoffs for the Nix. The Mecca, it's a lot. Yeah, it's the exact same thing. Dude, you've seen the Mecca? You could just do a farewell tour in the big three. Yeah, you've seen the Mecca? He would be the best big three player of all time. Probably not.

He probably would be like, he would probably be perfectly Mellow everywhere he goes and just be like, the fourth best. He would come back and just be a little bit worse. Where do we stand on like the- Then Steven Jackson. On the odds of him coming off the bench in LA. I hope for the Lakers. Oh man, I want it so bad.

They really need to listen. Oh, Adam Silver, because you listen to the fans and you do everything we say. How about the Lakers get an extra roster spot this year just for Carmelo? I like it. Can't use it on anyone else. Just Carmelo so that we can have the fun of watching Carmelo try to play with the Lakers. Since Carmelo is so good at competitions that don't really result in NBA titles, bring him in for that mid-winter tournament that you want.

He might be the best mid-winter basketball player of all time. We don't know yet. Or honorary spot every single year in the three-point competition. Yeah, I'll take that. That would be good. Just something that Mellow shouldn't get a farewell tour, but he should get something that keeps his legacy alive for a little bit longer. Just like one farewell thing.

Like just put him on a boat and then crack a champagne bottle and push him out to sea. Dude, could you- And land on fire like a Viking funeral. Could you imagine my idea that the idea I would love to see happen where every college has one player that they can always bring back? Yep. And doesn't matter how much they played in the pros, what part of their career. Every college has one spot football and basketball

where they have a guy who went to that school gets to play. Syracuse is definitely doing Jerry McNamara. Dude, Mellow playing on Syracuse this year? Talk about ratings. Come on. Figure it out NCAA. That's the solution. I just want to see all these guys come back.

I want to see- Dude, Tebow being all-time quarterback in Florida. Who would be against that? It'd be incredible. My darling Jake, would you say that Carmelo Anthony is the best athlete in the history of Syracuse? As is Syracuse, Greg. No, who is it?

Donovan McNamara. Who is it? My darling Jake. Greg Paulus. Paulus. Jim Brown. Oh, Jim Brown. Jim Brown.

I hate how everyone does that for their answers. They're like, who's the best football player? Who's the best lacrosse player? Who's Jim Brown? Dude, it's been like 80 years. Okay. No offense, Jim Brown. And he's not a good guy.

Yeah, but I will say to that defense, there's an interview that is coming up next week that kind of helps that out. What do you mean? When a certified football guy says something along the same lines. Oh, that's true. Yeah, that's true.

Oh, you don't even remember. What? You already forgot. You asked one of the interviews next week who they like to watch on film. Yeah. And they're like, Jim Brown. Jim Brown.

Fuck. I feel like that was a fake answer, though. That's what I'm saying, though. I think that the person that we were interviewed, and you'll hear this later, I think this person was so against giving us any sort of answer that might allow his opponents to know what goes on inside of his brain

that he just made up Jim Brown on the spot. It's the go-to answer to be like, you can't debate me. We are like, oh, yeah. Who's your favorite player of all time? Jim Brown. Like, well, 90% of football fans never saw him play. So we don't, we can't debate you. He also played against like, yeah.

Like it's a Bill Russell, Big Ruth. I believe the Bill Russell one. Greatest of all time. Yeah. Goat. Yeah. Count the rings. Can you imagine Bill Russell in today's,

like, peak Bill Russell in today's NBA? Although he would, I do believe that the elite of the elite, no matter what era, would figure it out. Just because they're that special. But it still is funny to think about like Babe Ruth facing like a 100-mile-an-hour fastball. What about a sports debater from way, way back in the day? Like, do you, I think I could mop the floor with Howard Cosell.

Ooh. I think he taught, he was named Dr. Z. Dr. Z? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, he was a, he was a writer. Football. Yeah, yeah, a writer. For sports illustrator.

Hey, yeah, so. I don't think he was going for it. Or a debate guy. Dick Shapp? Dick Shapp. Marv Albert in any era. He's still alive. Yeah, I know.

I'm just saying, well, yeah, his body is. Okay, let's go to this league. We actually have some news from the Esports League, Hank. Explain this. Ninja is ditching Twitch to stream exclusively on Mixer. This league, this motherfucking league. What's Mixer? I just learned about it today.

It sounds like it's just Twitch, but it's a different. Put Mixer. But Mixer, it's the Microsoft version, I think. Okay. So Steve Ballmer. Like until today, I didn't know Twitch had any competition, but now that they just signed, I mean, Ninjas, from what I know, the biggest streamer.

So it's like, if another website can sign the biggest streamer, Twitch is only as big as the streamers that they have. So this is pretty big. So is this the start of a trend? I mean, he's the biggest guy. Like, and clearly the fact that the guy that won the Fortnite Championship won $3 million, like, and he's the star of the whole game slash Twitch community.

I was thinking upwards of a hundred mil. And or equity. Probably equity. Is there a salary cap in online gaming? No. Well, I'm getting a no. Microsoft's gonna have to pay the luxury tax. Don't know.

Don't know. It is like Hulk Hogan going to WCW. Yeah. Bash of the Beach. The attitude era is over. Okay. Sorry, not sorry. Levy on Bell wants to apologize to all the fantasy owners

that he fucked over last year. Why is this not sorry? Did he not sorry it? Well, no, he apologized twice. But then the second time that he apologized, he said, but you should still draft me number one again this year. I don't like the fact that he apologized in the first place. And I'll tell you why.

Because as somebody who is smart enough as a fantasy governor to not draft him last year, he made me feel like my decision wasn't me being intelligent enough. He put it on him. He took credit for my good decision to not draft him. I didn't. I didn't draft him either. But I officially not accepting his apology

on behalf of all Levy on Bell fantasy owners. Yeah. So I speak for you. Class action lawsuit. We need to make. We should make one of those videos. Have you been defrauded? Yep.

By Levy. Yeah. Absolutely. Call 866-555-5555. That's a maddened code. I'm also blackballing Levy on Bell. I'm just putting the black ball out there. No one's drafting him this year.

I love when people stand on the fantasy team. All fantasy governors unite behind this. None of us are drafting Levy on Bell. Tyreek Hill? Not on my team. Nope. Won't have it unless I get him in the second. And when I had Todd Gurley, I benched his ass.

Yeah. I made him sit down. Fuck yeah. Think about what you did. Bro. Nobody is above my team. Get out of here. Kareem Hunt?

Don't even think about it unless he's on waivers. Then definitely. Then pick him up first. Pick him up first. It would be right away, dude. Yeah. When his all costs. To not have to even consider the fact.

All right. Last up before we get to FAQs. Hank Hot in the streets. Hank, I've been asking you about this. Or you have something for us? Or is this the one I'm thinking about? This is the one you're thinking about. I've been asking about this all week.

What is Hot Boy Summer? And two, three questions. What is Hot Boy Summer? Two, is it still going on? Three, are PFT and I participating in it without us knowing? Essentially you are. Basically. Fuck yeah.

That's all I need to know. Hot Boy Summer. Hot Boy Summer. Hot Boy Summer. Living the dream. Did it. Yeah. It actually started as Hot Girl Summer and City Boy Summer.

But Hot Girl Summer. We're Hot Boy Summer. The whole hot boy or girl phenomenon started from Megan Stallion, who's a rapper. Okay. And she did a quote where someone asked her about it. She said, it's about women and men being unapologetically them. Just having a good ass time.

Fuck yeah. Hyping up their friends. Doing you. I'm so mean. You look hot right now. You look hot. Thanks. We've been so us this summer.

Yeah. Hank, you look good. Thank you. Yeah. Real good. Find me three guys that haven't been more hot than us. Yeah. Bubba.

He's the hottest. He looks like a snack. Can you just eat him as long as he's awake. So the Hot Girl Summer was invented, and then boys obviously couldn't just handle everyone being like Hot Girl Summer. No. Yeah, that's not a Hot Girl Summer for men.

Male persecution. We have to do City Boy Summer. And then Hot Boy Summer. What is that? You have to live in a city? No, I think it's just like they didn't want to be like, oh, Hot Girl, Hot Boy will make up our own thing like City Boys. City Boys.

I don't like City Boys. I think I'm going to stick with Hot Boy Summer. Well, Hot Boy goes back. Lil Wayne, his original rap group was the Hot Boy. Don't lecture me about Lil Wayne. Are we City Boying it or Hot Boying it? We're Hot Boying. Which would you say we are?

It is Hot. We are. Yeah. We are Hot City Boys. I think it's Hot Boys. When I was growing up, we called Hot Boys. Like if you were like, let's say like we're underage, we're going to a party and you have like beers in the backseat,

and it's like sketchy, like you're being a Hot Boy. OK, why don't we just do this? Oh, like the block is hot. Like you've got heat on you. You're riding dirty. You're a Hot Boy. Dirty boys. OK, why don't we do this though?

Why don't we combine them? Why don't we do we're Hot City Boys? Because every time we go out on the street in New York, my ass is a pool. Hot City Boy Summer. Hot City Boy Summer. And it's just pictures of our fucking swamp ass. Yeah, like if you're a finance bro,

just send pictures of like you're when you get into work. Yeah, Hot City Boy Summer. Yeah, Hot City Boy Summer. There's a packed subway. The time everyone's just you're stuck in someone's fucking armpit. Like if you, if someone in your office has back sweat, like come through their shirts.

Time of year that you bring two shirts to work, one to change into when you get there. I need like six showers a day. Yeah, Hot City Boy Summer. Shower in the morning and shower after work. Love it. That's a Tim Ryan special. Hot City Boys.

OK, Hank FAQs. OK. Hey, how's it going men of PMT, especially Jake the Snake? I was wondering if after going to the Democratic debate and seeing the men and women on stage, would PFT consider running for president? Ooh. He would for sure win as there's no way

the AWLs will let him lose. Would love to see PMT live in the Oval Office. That would be such a disaster for everybody involved. Everyone. But yes, I would. I'm not ruling anything out and I have considered it even though I'm not currently qualified to run for president as somebody who's 34 years old.

Yeah, that's true. At the moment. No, you'll be 35 though. I'll be 35 in 20. Oh, in 2020, you're right. There you go. All right, I'm here by declaring. If you forgot how time works.

I'm here by declaring myself. You think yours will be 34 forever? I'm opening my candidacy for president of the United States of America. All I need is 125,000 individual donors. If 125,000 of you gave me $1, then I would qualify for the next debates. So I don't see why not.

That's easy, dude. I have more than enough Madden codes to get money from the people. Here's what I'm promising. You ready? Yeah. A Madden code for everyone. A Madden code in every pot. Legalize marijuana.

Yep. Legalize sports gambling. Day after the Super Bowl, national holiday. Done. Two Fourth of July. Did you see that bro who went to City Council? The 8th of July. He was like, this guy went.

Chad goes deep. Chad goes deep. Friend of the program. He went to City Council. He's like, Fourth of July is so dope. Why don't we do two of them? I love it. Yeah, why not?

Let's celebrate twice. Also, Boltman will be my secretary of defense. OK. I was going to say vice president. Fuck it. Boltman. OK, Boltman vice president. And then I'm elevating Tom Sula, secretary of defense.

Perfect. Perfect. Hank, what up? Just fart on Kim Jong-un. What do you miss most, if anything, about the earlier days recording part of my take that you probably could not get away with anymore? Hank falling asleep during episodes.

Well, I mean, we should kind of just pass the torch. Having youthful energy. Yeah, that's true. You did just pass all your bad habits to Liam. I miss Stella a little bit. Yeah. I miss her chiming in in the background. She barks a lot still.

Nice little accents. You know, she's still barking. Just the random bark at nothing. I miss back when I thought maybe there was a chance that Big Ken and I both didn't have sex, but now that's been debunked. Yeah. Now we're not just exclusively for virgins.

Yeah, I don't I don't know what I think everything's gotten pretty much better. Skype sucked. I know there's sometimes people like, oh, Skype is better. I don't think for this show they say that, but they say for other things that we put out there, Skype is such a pain in the ass, and you just can't get the same flow.

Even when we do it when one of us is on the road, like it's just not the same show. I do miss being able to punch up at more people. Like now we can't go out for Jay Marriott anymore. That's true. But we still do. But I think we can still I think we've gotten a nice spot where we can just make fun of people to their face now.

Yeah, that is more fun. It's almost more liberating. You're sitting down next to somebody. Here's the shit I said about you. Yes. And we'll see some of that next week. Yes. Same guy who likes Jim Brown.

Another related to that question. How often do you guys get asked if someone can come be interviewed on your show instead of when you guys first started where it was probably more you had to ask them? It's like, I'd say 50-50 right now. A lot of the guests that and when we're saying we asked Joe Harris is to come on the show. Yeah, we get some people where we want friends of ours

or people that have been on the show are like, grail guests. If we have a grail out there, we'll ask to get them on. But then a lot of times we'll have our talent booker that brings them in for us. Do you know who asked me to come on the show? Old friend of yours, Hank. TJ Lavin.

Nope. Laduca. Nope, Surfer. Oh, the one? Yeah, I had a stage of Ashley. Wow. I've heard some interesting stories about you and her, Hank. Get her on here.

Yeah, we'll do it. We can talk about it. I'll Snapchat, buddy. What is? I'm just going to piss people off not knowing what we're talking about. This is Hot City Boy Summer. There you go.

I'm sweating through my sweatshirt right now. Well, you're wearing a sweatshirt. That's true. It's coming on you. Hand up. I'm like a basketball coach. What would be the overall results of a PMT Decathlon? Like who would come first through sixth with PFT,

Big Cat, Hank, Liam, Jake, and Jilly all competing? What events? I don't know what the events are. A Decathlon. I don't know what events are. OK, let's look at fake sports. Running. Hang on.

No, it's not just running. There's like kayaking. No, it's just swimming in Decathlon. Decathlon. They just, they run and jump and they throw and they. I think they do the shooting. No, they don't shoot. You're thinking of the.

I'm the only gun owner, so I'd probably win that one. I next question. We don't even know what a Decathlon is. I honestly, here's a real answer. We'd all quit before it was over because we'd be too tired. The minute I got out to the track, you know that heat that's just on a track. Fuck that.

I'm going home. 10 events. Well, yeah, I got that part, but here's a little quiz. Don't look it up. Who can name 10 events in the Decathlon? And if you can, you're a nerd. OK. Hey, PMT FAQ for you.

Of the bad interviews that PMT has had over the years, parentheses, Dan Marino, Dak Prescott, Kareem, etc. What interview would you like to do over for them, over the most and why? That's a good question. Oh, I know the answer. You go first. Chris Thompson, which we'll have her back on again,

but we did that to Skype. That was right when I moved. I fun fact about that one. That was like the day I moved into my first apartment in New York and I didn't, I moved in with people I didn't know. And I was like, this is before the office was open. And they're like, don't work from home. I was like, don't worry.

I'll be at the office whenever I'm working. And for that one, I had to record it at the house and they were having like a party. And it was like, it was a shit. It was an absolute shit show. I was in San Francisco. PFT was in Texas. Carissa was in California.

I was in New York because I had my washer and dryer behind me in my kitchen. Four different Skypes. And we also just did a terrible job researching it. Said she went to Washington State. She was like, nope. Oh, I told her next time she comes on the show, she just has to run with the fact that she is.

Yes. So and we know, we know Carissa. So we'll definitely have her back on. We actually saw her at the Super Bowl. So that will definitely happen again. But I wish we had that one back. That's a very good answer. I would say, I would like to do Dan Marino again.

No, I think you want the exact same thing. You want to know why? Because if we did him over again, I think we would get more hostile to him earlier in the interview instead of like trying to make him come along. You just leave. For sure would leave. I hope we get, I hope we get to a point.

I think there will be a point in the next year or so that Dak Prescott will come back on, not remembering that he's been on before. And that would be a great moment. And by the way, we're not going to tell him that he's been on. That's right. Right. We'll ask the same exact questions.

All right. We'll end it with this. Actually, one more question for Big Cat. Will we see high five men's shirts on bar stool? Graham Mertz is the goat and I need this shirt. Yes. What's that? So I obviously went to University of Wisconsin.

Looks like Heisman. But I make assets of five. Yeah. I make a Heisman shirt for every Wisconsin quarterback knowing they'll never win a Heisman. Bart Heisman. What was my other one? Oh, horny for Heisman.

Like 10 people buy him. Shout out to all those 10 people. But Graham Mertz is the first four star recruit at quarterback that Wisconsin has ever had and his number is five. Well, it's him. And then the guy that's from Long Island. Jack Cohn, probably the starter. So yeah, we will.

You will have a Graham. You probably get a Jack Cohn Heisman shirt before you get a Graham Mertz, but both will be on the way. All right. What is the most awkward or uncomfortable thing that has happened off air with someone you've interviewed that the AWOs don't know about?

I'm thinking if can we tell the De'Andre Jordan thing? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Say it. Say it. This was one of the. Yeah. This was all time.

All time. One of the funniest moments I've had doing this podcast. De'Andre Jordan was walking in the door. They're like De'Andre Jordan's here. And he was probably two feet behind the like talent book or girl that works here. And she walked in and as she walked in, she said, hey, you guys can't talk about the nets.

And before anyone had any time to process that, De'Andre Jordan just walked in. I think I said, what the fuck out loud in front of De'Andre Jordan? We did talk about the nets, but it was the weirdest thing that I think has ever been requested of us because we don't usually do any of those requests. And I don't think that was coming from him either. No, it wasn't.

He was totally fine with it. What happened was he walked in the door and the person said, yeah, if he could not talk about the nets with him, that would be great. And a big kid I think goes, what the fuck? And I go, wait, like, what do you mean not about the nets? And the person goes, if you could just like stick to mainly talking about Dunkin' Donuts, that'd be great.

Yeah. And we're like, oh, OK. It's a weird thing that happens in the interview world where it's almost 100% of the time not the athlete that's asking. It's the PR people that rep the athlete who are weirdly nervous about stuff that you don't even think that they should be. So De'Andre was totally fine, but his person just walks around. I think that's actually, now that I'm replaying it,

that's actually just a chess game that PR people are playing. By just, they don't even care if you bring up the nets, but they throw you off your game right before you walk in by being like, hey, don't bring up the thing that everyone wants to talk about. Hey, don't talk about basketball. Yes. Yes. All right.

That's our show. We'll see everyone Monday. Training camp week. Huge guest every single day next week. I'm very excited for Monday's show because it's a recurring guest when we've had on and holy shit, he is the best. Should we say, so Bobba's going to say goodbye to you. Bobba's going to say goodbye to you guys today.

Love you guys. Talking away, I don't know what I have to say. I'll say it anyway. Today isn't my day to find you. Shine away. I'll be coming for your love. Okay. Take on me.

Take on me beyond. I'll be gone in a day or two. So needless to say our odds and ends. I like beads stolen away. Slowly learning that life is okay. Say after me, it's still better to be safe than sorry. Take on me. Take on me.

Take me on. Take on me. I'll be gone in a day or two. PS4 code BMFX52NK8HJ4. Yeah, that was the whole thing. The end was 8HJ4, for those who didn't get it. Oh, the things you say. Yeah, it's life or is it a play?

My worry's away. You're all the things I've got to remember. You shine away. I'll be coming for you anyway. Take on me. Take on me. Take me on. Take on me.

I'll be gone in a day or two. Take on me. I'll be gone. Take on me. Take on me. Take on me. Take on me. Take me on.

Take on me. Yeah, here we go, Bubba. Never miss a flight again, Bubba. Never miss a flight again. Love you, Bubba.
