There's enough of our sports.
Welcome to part of my take today is Monday, July 17th, and PFT are long national nightmare
is over.
LeBron James is coming back for another season.
I was so worried about that.
I was shocked when he made the announcement.
I honestly, I had forgotten that he had teased that he might retire.
But he had also been saved for the last three years.
He was going to come back and play with his son.
Yes.
That was his ultimate goal.
So unless, unless Bronnie had a Danielle Montetay reverse type situation where he's a
lot older than we thought that he was, yeah, this was, this was as much of a given as
you can have in the sports world, he's going to come back and it was so perfect.
So we obviously had the takeies on Friday that were pre recorded.
So we missed what happened in the SPS.
This was really the only clip I saw LeBron James getting in front of everyone.
He said, I asked myself, can I play without cheating this game?
The day I can't give everything on the floor is a day I retire.
Lucky for you guys, the day is not today.
So probably the most public, non-retirement,
even though we all knew he wasn't going to retire,
speech ever given.
It's basically the decision too.
Yeah, and I think you play in this out just because he was like,
you know what, I want to make a splash at the espis this year.
How can I do that?
Okay, I'll tease it.
I'm going to retire after getting swept by the Denver Nuggets and then yeah, and in mid July,
in early July when nobody's paying attention to sports, I'm going to dominate the news
cycle.
He also just wants everyone to clap for him and be like, thank you so much, Brian.
Like I'll say this right now, there's been a lot of rumors, a lot of talk. I'm not retiring.
Not today, not today.
I will not retire today.
As you're listening to this right now,
I'm not retiring today.
You know who had the best day
when he found out that
Ron James was going to come back.
Skip Beatless.
Yes.
Old Skip had, he put out a great,
maybe the creepiest video.
It looked like he was doing some sort of he looked like a
Terrorist that had just taken over 737 and was making his demands, but he was like, you know, Lebron James and I were
We're connected. We both started our professional careers on television the same year
So yeah, you can't tell the story of Lebron James about the story of Skip Bayless. Yeah, Hank, I saw that look on your face. Skip was, it was like a columnist.
And then he became Skip Bayless on TV back in, I guess that would be 2003 when LeBron came to the NBA.
So Skip was very happy at one point. He just shakes it. He goes, LeBron bleepin James, man.
LeBron bleepin James. Stop retiring. You think Ernestine film skips videos for him?
Yeah, skips going through right now.
Yeah, he's having it, he's unwanted.
He doesn't have a person to debate with
and it's gotta be killing him inside.
Lil Wayne.
Yeah, Lil Wayne, it's also very funny that Skip Ailsy
like trying to find his new co-host, which not really not really a co-host, it's more like Skip Sidekick.
It really has only one rule, they have to be pro LeBron.
Because I was thinking about like what would happen if a guy who was anti LeBron
went and joined Skip, it would then become like he would have nothing to debate.
It should actually just be somebody that's more anti LeBbron than skip a list is yeah, that would go worse my have Trump date
That would be great if Dave was like if if skip was like
Bashing Lebron and Dave was just like actually Lebron's and ISIS actually he's disgusting human being
Yeah, perfect. All right other things going on in the sports world,
we had Rory finally win one, the Scottish Open,
which I don't think anyone could watch on TV.
Golf just keeps crushing it.
They're like, hey, golf's never been hotter.
And he has been cut off the feed before the 18th hole.
Yeah.
He's in plus.
But I was happy for Rory because I think
that was like the fourth or fifth time,
or maybe third or fourth time that he's been leading after 54 holes this year.
And if he didn't do this one, it would have been like, dude,
or you just can't finish the deal.
But back-to-back birdies, 17, 18, good for Rory.
Is that the fifth major if you're a British guy?
It's got to be I mean it is it
It's the it's the open is you also want to win the Scottish open when the British open is right the next week
Like is that it's a tuna you can make the case. It's a tuna but to I have a hot dick. Okay, laid off
I think he's gonna miss the cut. Yeah, everything cuz the last the last time they played here was the last time
He won a major he's been playing good golf you won this weekend
everyone it's it's it's almost It's almost too much of a storybook ending was last time he won a major. He's been playing good golf. He won this weekend. Everyone,
it's almost too much of a storybook ending. I think he's just going to come out and blow up.
I mean, last year was supposed to be the storybook ending where he blew up.
Right. Yeah.
On the back nine.
But it's quite a take. Hank, you'll have to take it.
It's hot. So it's a hot take.
They play all the players play in quilts.
Yes. I think I'm going to take. They play all the players play in quilts. Yes.
I think I'm looking for a kilts.
Killed.
No, okay.
Yeah, offline before we started recording,
Hank was talking about golfing overseas
and he referred to kilts.
He thought that there were quilts
that if you were a quilts.
Well, it's all time the trial end moment
I wish they were going.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So yeah, that happened.
Deandre Hopkins on the Titans. Yeah. What was the, yeah, um, so yeah that happened Deandre Hopkins on the Titans. Uh, yeah,
Problems of what yeah, was his list of reasons why he wanted to join a team
He wanted like an established quarterback. It was established quarterback good defense
Consistent GM, which I think they just fired there. Didn't they this is new GM that they have new GM?
Yeah, that that Deandre Hopkins
This is New GM that they have. New GM.
Yeah, that Deandre Hopkins,
like I still think he's good.
He's not Deandre Hopkins best receiver in the league good,
which he was, you know, five years ago or four years ago.
But, way to take the air out of it,
like if he had been added to achieves and eagles,
like one of these, and Niners,
like one of these teams that's competing for Super Bowl,
he's going to the Titans and it's like, okay, cool cool Like he'll be good. I guess it's good for the Titans
But I feel like the Titans are in a weird transition period right now. Not a we're competing for a soup bowl right this second
I mean, this is an ultimate ricochet shot at the entire Patriots organization too when those are his three criteria
And he's like I want to play for a good quarterback and he picks Ryan Tannahill over Mac Jones
Sounds like he listened to our show
where we did the quarterback tears ranking.
Yeah.
Yeah, Hank.
Yeah, I'm excited for Will, I'm happy for him.
Yeah, it is good for Will.
You have to feel a little bit stupid, right?
Don't you think?
Like the fact that he visited your organization,
it was on his list of, I think, ultimately two teams
that he was gonna play for that were in a bidding war, and he chose the Titans.
I mean, Belicechek's definitely pissed off at variable for this one.
Yeah, probably a little bit.
I feel like the Patriots never, I mean, besides Rhaeny Moss, but I feel like the Patriots
never really get those big name signings.
I was not, I was obviously hopeful, but I was not, like, surprised he didn't sign with
this.
Yeah, it was just, it's not the Patriot way.
It did feel like everyone was like where's the Andre Hopkins gonna go and
Now that he went to the Titans again the Titans
This actually where the Titans love to be is everyone's doubting them because that means they'll probably
win the AFC South and they'll probably win like 11 or 12 games because that's how the Titans always roll
But didn't it feel like it was an announcement we were all waiting for
because we assumed he was going to go to a team that was maybe one of the final four
teams last year, a bills, like I said, the diners, the chiefs, and the Titans, like, okay,
cool, no state income tax.
Yeah, I guess good for him.
It became a financial decision.
He's getting like 12 mil guaranteed next year, and he's got escalators that can kick it up to 15 million.
So he's gonna make good money,
but if I was to honor Hopkins,
I would want very badly to finish my career
with a good quarterback,
because he's played with some trash quarterbacks
outside of DeShawn Watson for a couple of years.
He's played with maybe,
out of all the best wide receivers that you can name
in the history of, I guess the last like
15 years he might be the best quarterback that's had or the best wide receiver that's had the worst for under quarterbacks
Besides maybe Andre Johnson. Yeah, who is also part of that Texans carousel of sadness. Yes. Yeah, it's true and it's
I mean money is always I don't know what everyone else was offering him
And it's I mean money is always I don't know what everyone else was offering him
But it's nice to say I want to go compete for a ring But if the Titans offered him 12 and everyone else was offering him five
Seven million dollars probably nice to makes a lot of difference. Yeah, I was open for the bills
I really wanted him on the bills. I know. I know
Okay, other things we got our rings
Do you want to give him to us? Yes, we have the rings the water dogs
one the championship last year and I went to
Ring giving ceremony and I have for you. Yeah
You want to also known as a wedding yet? We want to do any highlights from it from the ring giving ceremony
It was awesome. Why don't you want this's yours. Okay, Jake was on the call.
Look at this.
Jake killed it.
Dude, this is actually a sick ring.
Dude, now those are really expensive.
Okay, Billy, can you show me,
I want to see my ring.
Can you just hold it up?
Actually, kind of fits.
Cause we told, when Paul Ravel asked for a ring size,
I didn't know and I just told them like,
I don't know, average.
Dude, yeah, regular is the size that we gave him. Oh, that's awesome building such a sweet ring. Where's hangs?
Oh, oh, do you have?
Do we not have hangs?
Hanks is coming the mail. How much do we know how many diamonds are in this so I could sell it?
I had no idea and they were so like they they look expensive they feel expensive
So I've been sweating my balls off trying to make sure I get them here right now
Okay, I might get it appraised and just just for curiosity's sake and then do that they're big time
Yeah, these are big time
I want to punch somebody in the face while I wear it and just leave him impression on him like an ace Ventura
PFT we got to go to a water dogs game and show up with them and just be like what are you talking about?
I actually when I saw when I saw the rings I thought myself, I might just wear that around all the time.
Yeah, it's that cool, right?
It's that cool, right?
Yeah.
We have rings now.
And then we can take it off your weird fingers.
There was some, take it off.
Yeah, I don't know where those hands have been.
I'll take it on warm.
Did you chuck beers?
At the ceremony?
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, how'd you do? Very well. Yeah. Uh,
dude, he's his witness. He is. Dude, he's out of it. Dude, fair feel is the best
venue for LaCrosse. I just have to say, like, those are people who love LaCrosse and it's
an amazing venue. I feel like though, if we sent you anywhere where you got championship
rings and free beer, you'd be like, dude, fucking Baghdad is the best place
to watch lacrosse.
It's so sick.
No, but Fairfield County is a lacrosse hotbed.
Okay. It is pretty sick.
Yeah, can other kids does lacrosse well?
Yeah.
Billy, what was the reaction of the team like
when they all got their championship rings
and they're like, oh, and also Billy football?
Yeah, no, it was a big and posture syndrome
when you're walking in line and these guys are like,
who the fuck is this guy?
Right.
So really imposter syndrome that is actually just being a
little, I mean, yeah, just not even your ring.
Yeah.
Yeah, the last person to get his ring.
Yeah.
And finally, representing the owners.
I did hear some criticism online that were terrible owners for not being there for
ring night, but I have to just push back and say were we getting rings for winning a championship the team that we own that seems pretty good
Right, yeah, well our our favorite ring. I don't want to speak for you BFT
But I think we're aligned as an ownership group our favorite ring is the next one
Yeah, and also we're hands-off owners right and we're especially hands-off the rings
We don't need to be there to take this spectacle away from the players.
It's not the NBA where they hand the Chappee Chip Trophy to Stan Cranky first,
and then he just whispers, sweet, nothings, and the sideline reporters' ears.
We don't need that spotlight on us.
We're behind the scenes, guys.
Yeah, I'm so hands-off.
He's the house culture.
I'm so good.
That's what we do.
I'm so hands-off as an owner that I'm going to sell my ring.
No, I'm so...
Like that's how hands-off? No, no, no. I'm so hands off as an owner that I'm gonna sell my ring. No, that's how hands off.
No, no, no, no.
I'm so hands off that, no, please don't do that.
I can definitely name at least two players on the team.
No.
Dylan.
Dylan, and then,
Dylan's the goalie.
Dylan Ward.
Dylan Ward, I didn't know who's the last one.
Oh, first house.
And then Copeland.
Yeah, Andy Copeland.
Andy Copeland is a G.
Yeah, he is.
I was a we almost fired him.
No, but like I was standing back to him
and I was like this guy probably
think some a fucking clown and here's a G.
He was a he's chill.
Yeah.
He said, yeah, no, he definitely did.
He definitely thought you were coming.
You're a clown.
Fucking yeah, yeah.
We sent you.
You did your job.
Those look awesome.
I'm happy for you guys.
Hey, yeah, I'm sure yours in the mail
Today actually say that Billy
No, I mean shout Steve and Polly and Ryan Brown some a not a lot of my but retired guys who came back for the ring and we just had a great shot
A J2 or a
There were are they retired? Yeah, they retired. Okay, those are the two guys. There was like you know a lot of time? But we're tired. Are they retired? Yeah, they're retired.
Those are the two guys who was like,
you know, a lot of the water dogs are retiring
because they want a chip and they retired.
Yeah, did they say my rings in the mail or no?
You got a ring coming.
Oh, okay.
They haven't.
They definitely haven't made them.
So I was told that it's right.
No, I'm definitely is.
I'm getting like what they give like the fans.
No, I was told. I was told from the higher ups, they were like,
Hank submitted his ring size late.
Oh, and that's why it's coming late.
Hey, as opposed to me and Big Hat
who didn't submit a ring size at all.
Hank, listen to this, listen to this, Hank.
Ready?
See, banging on the couch, banging on the couch.
Yeah, it feels good.
Yeah.
Dude, these are serious. I'm gonna have to say, bang it on the couch. Yeah, it feels good. Yeah, dude. These are serious fucking rings. Yeah, they're great rings
I'm happy for you guys and for the team
My not to me right because I can't if I own a championship ring I feel like it when I'm not wearing it. What?
Dude can you get your airside rate? So I'm gonna I'm gonna keep this safe
I've been keeping them safe for two days and it's been a nerve-racking. Okay
It's a heart-billy a what was tamagotchi pets
What what else do we have we had Wimbledon ah
And that happened.
Tras. I'm a little thick man.
Alcatraz happened.
Thought he was a clay court guy.
Yeah.
Thought he was thought he was an alternate surfaces guy,
not a grass guy.
Yeah.
Oh, grass.
Oh, I, uh, passing the torch big cat.
Well, yeah, question big cat.
Yeah, okay, go ahead, but I have a statement first.
Afterwards, I don't know, but big head. Yeah, okay. Go ahead, but I have a statement first afterwards. I don't know
But if you guys saw but
Joker Vitch was maybe the most gracious
Competitor of all time he said people have been talking in the past 12 months or so about his game talking about Alchuraz
Consisting a certain elements from Roger Rafa and myself. I would agree with that. I think he's got basically best of all three worlds
So Joker Vitch is basically saying this guy is going to be next up. So I'm counting that as a win.
That's my 25th major that I've won. So I'm Alcharez fan now. Not as big as a Joe Kovic, but
I'm Alcharez fan as well. Yeah, that's user talk. He's like he baby. Brondam. Now he's he baby
Brondam. He pretty much said like this guy reminds me so much of myself.
I'm happy to see him win.
He's 16 years younger.
He's got all the fucking, you know, testosterone and jumping around.
I mean,
Jokovic and Federer and Ruff are all the exact same age.
So you can't make that same argument.
And he had to play someone 16 years younger.
Well, that was my question, but not only did Jokovic lose today,
but it's like he doesn't have to play
versus Federer and Nadal.
He's gonna beat Rafa's grand slam in like five years.
He already, who?
Alcharez?
Is coming for the Go Crown.
Go Kovic hat.
Go Kovic has the most majors,
just say you had a Go Kovic.
He had a Go Kovic hat.
But he had a Go Kovic hat and Nadal.
So I'm saying,
you had to watch him lose today and realize like in 10 years,
I'm also going to lose the crowd.
But you just, no, you just said what you just said means that joke,
which is the goat you went against Roger.
Yes, currently in Rafa and won all those.
So Alcharez is going to win Mickey Mouse majors.
That's fine.
No, but I'm not making a major.
I'm not making a major.
It's not a dominant.
You judge by major champion.
Well, I'm an Alcharez fan. I don't know why you just turned this. I'm an Alcharez fan a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major, I'm a major 27 minutes right and it was basically whoever wins that one game is gonna win the entire match
Why the fuck do they score so fucked up in tennis?
Why is it 15 15 and then 30 15 and then 40 15 and then it's love and
Zeus and all this shit. Why is it can somebody explains me why it's 15 30 40 and then the game
It makes no sense English stuff
30, 40, and then the game. It makes no sense.
English stuff.
Metric system?
It's through the...
It's through the...
It's through the...
It's through the...
It's dumb.
It is so dumb.
It's so dumb.
It's really easy.
They just score like a real sport where it's 7, 7, 6, 1, 3.
Sometimes a two for safety.
Yeah, yeah.
That's how real men play sports.
Oh!
Tennis scores were shown at the the middle ages on two clock faces.
On each score, the pointer moved around a quarter from zero to 15, 30, 45.
Somehow the 45 got truncated to 40 when the clock faces dropped out of use.
That's stupid.
That makes no sense.
Did you see Jokovic got penalized for holding his...
Oh!
For too long.
That's every final.
He literally was...
He was just like...
Oh! Yeah. And we got a... for too long. That's every final. He literally was, he was just like, oh!
And he got a, he got a time violation today.
Oh, he did?
See, I'm just getting him.
And I felt like the wind was only affecting him.
It took too long for him to walk back to his towel,
pick up his towel, which, you know why they,
they move the towel station and they don't have the ballboys
handing the towels out anymore, right?
Why?
COVID COVID COVID change. Yeah, so they're all they're out to get
Joseph. Yeah, he's our coach
Just just you didn't want to get back to him. We're gonna persecute him. Yeah, they put his towel basically in Southampton
Yeah, and he has to go by foot over there horseback carriage to dry his hands off and come back
Either way, I will admit that that was a very thrilling
Wimbledon.
It was.
It was good theater.
And it is good.
It is an all time, I wasn't hungover,
but I feel like I'm perpetually hungover with kids.
But it was all time, like tennis on grass
is such a great hungover watch early in the morning.
Because it's just ball moving on grass, not a lot of it.
Like you don't really have to be paying too much attention. It moves at a good pace. Nice
little breaks and grunting. It's a great sport to watch in the morning.
You remember this was probably like 15 years ago, maybe even longer when Monica Celis was
still playing and they, I forget who she was playing against, but they warned both of them.
They're like, Hey, you guys grunt too much. It's unladylike.
You're not allowed to grunt in this game or in this match.
And then Monica Sellers went out there
and gave a grunting performance for the agents.
Basically said, fuck you.
You can take my grunts from my cold dead hands.
And it was, yeah, it was all time.
I think at Wimbledon, that's the only place
that they ever tried it.
That's Kurt's tell.
What?
That might be a bonk.
That also Monica Sell us learn tennis bro
Monica sell you know that she got stabbed she got stabbed Hank and she was also like one of the best tennis players of all time
I know that obviously here. I'll do Monica sell a squirt ready
Yeah, how did the backs and wow?
Thank you should start doing that when you golf
We should start do we should we should do a Mount Rushmore later this season where we grunt each other's backs
My rush more Good one I just fell him out. It's like, what's your next pick? Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! I mean, Eric Rogers, it's got all the story lies behind it. They're going to show him like moving into his Brooklyn apartment, which by the way,
you remember when we interviewed Aaron last year and he was like, oh, you guys live in New York,
you're probably some like cool Brooklyn guys, right?
I guarantee you Aaron Rogers can be living in Brooklyn.
Although the commute would suck, and you'd be an idiot to live in Brooklyn.
Like, I, that would say, when we had to drive to Hoboken that was
From Brooklyn it sucked, but last time the jets were on hard knocks. They went to the FC champion. Oh
I mean, we have a we we still have to figure out the stakes of our bet But I think Aaron Rogers is gonna have an incredible year
I've become the script has been flipped on me where I'm now defending Aaron Rogers the player
The script has been flipped on me where I'm now defending Aaron Rogers, the player publicly, and it feels dirty, but I also, I don't want him to fall off when he's gone. That would suck for me.
I want him to see really good.
I understand that, but I think it would also be so poetic if you follow the Brett Farve story arc completely.
Brett Farve was good and he heard his arm. This is a bunch of weird dick picks to people,
leaves New York, goes to Minnesota,
has a career resurgence,
and then he gets arrested for defrauding Mississippi.
Well, if you put in that the Bears end his career,
Cory Wooten, when he, when he,
remember when Brett Farve was like,
he looked like a chalk cut out on the pavement,
on the frozen, on the frozen Minnesota turf,
because they were playing outdoors for a couple of season.
If you can give me that, I might set off for it.
Yeah, that's what that's our room for.
I also just love hard knocks in general.
Hard knocks is such a good TV show
to just remind you that football is coming back.
And I think, I actually think you could take
any major profession, any minor profession,
and make a hard knock sound of anything.
They're doing it.
And we also, we will review the quarterback show on Netflix.
Either Friday or Monday, we're gonna watch it.
I've heard good, like, people complain about it,
but if you just show me any behind the scenes football clips,
I'll watch it.
Like, when they, I'll do like in between the championship games and the Super Bowl, I'll watch it. Like wouldn't yeah. When when they I'll do like in between the
championship games in the Super Bowl, I'll watch like the 30 minute episodes of the teams
put out just to hear the Mike. Up players. Yeah, the Mike. Up players, the alternate camera
angles and plays that you have already seen like seven times. Right. I think I watched
the end of that Vikings bills game nine times just from like different vantage points.
But the chiefs bills and see championship game, I must have watched a hundred times on all the angles.
Billy?
PFT, the ring stuck on my finger.
Oh, I'm trying to get off.
It's not going well.
We're going to have to cut that finger off, Bill.
I'll give you a pill.
That's when he knows you.
Yeah, we're going to have to cut that shit off bill
Can we cut the metal? Can we cut the metal? No, no absolutely no that's your thing Jake
Jake can you try to pull that ring off Billy's finger? Come on, I think Billy's line
How sick would that be if you had a necklace well if you had a necklace that was the the ring but also Billy's finger
Yeah, be awesome. Yeah, or we could maybe spray some some sort of cooking oil on there
My left leg real good get some K. Y. Jelly. Oh, it actually is stuck. It's actually stuck
Oh Billy, let me get it
She speaks like sword in the stone make it straight make your finger straight
Get off get off. Come on. Commentated Billy. Commentating the mic. I got it. I got it. All right. Thank you. Good cat. Don't put it back on. Oh, it's stuck again. Oh, no, no, take that shit off their bill. It's mom. Yeah, I just love hard. I'm just so amped up for football. The decision that
Which team is gonna be at hard knocks that is the true restarting of the football year. It is and I've
There's just nothing that gets me more juiced up than the countdowns.
People just tweeting out like this is,
we have seven Sundays from today,
or 51 days till college football.
I don't care if it's gonna be a random
like New Mexico state versus Hawaii
on a streaming platform none of us have.
I don't care.
Just as soon as the first game kicks off,
I'm ready to go.
Yeah, the start of the football, the official start of the football calendar is hard knocks. Right. The first episode of hard knocks. After that, it's the pro football hall of fame game.
After that, it's college football week zero. Throw in one random really good player gets injured
in preseason. Yep, that in a suspension. Yeah, today, today, Scott Hansen said
Red Zone returns in a mere octobox of Sundays.
Octo eight, eight Sundays.
That means eight Sundays?
Yeah, okay, that he made us try to do math
and like, we're happy to still move.
That made me move.
Well, we've won the war.
So I don't, I don't have to, there is no options now.
Right, I will now be critical of Scott Hansen
because there is no, he's monopolized red zone.
Is he not?
To my knowledge, yes.
Yeah.
So be ready for that, Scott.
I'm coming for that, ask you better.
You better tell us.
You better let us know gambling things
and don't give us the fake out where it's like,
and we cut to Kansas City and it's like a seven yard out
and you're expecting to be a fumble.
Nope, nope, nope.
Gotta be on your egg game.
Billy, I have a question for you.
Yes.
Do you think that this is going to play
into your whole New York media?
It's gonna make Jets quarterbacks worse.
Having a bigger magnifying glass
under the media of Aaron Rogers?
No, so Aaron Rogers is immune to the media circus.
It is going to be immune, or is he back to us?
He's immune, he's immune he's
got natural you know you know you're media but uh...
well i'm thinking is i just can't wait to see what's at will sin and erin
roger's talk about when they're like you know in drills throwing is like
i can't like that's just something you're gonna buy in his at willson again
no i mean i think he is the first you never actually got a few days something you're gonna buy in his act Wilson again. No, I mean, I think he is the future. Well, he's never actually gone.
He's the future, he's the future.
You're still thinking he's the future.
I still think that he has the physical capabilities
to be an amazing quarterback.
The man can make any throw on the field.
I mean, his head, you know, he's young, he's confused.
Yeah, we're doing this again.
He's short.
He's not short, he's not short.
He's six, two.
He's a two, five, six.
And he's short of the main, short of He's not short. He's six to six. He's the dude.
He's like five cents.
He's short of the main.
The man can make some amazing throws and I hope Aaron Rodgers gets his head right.
All right.
Let's do who's back of the week.
Then we have Greg Olson and then we have the Mount Rushmore of Everyday Villains.
Who's back of the week's brought to you by our friends of course light.
Everyone thinks about the day.
They'll eventually get to retire and enjoy all the freedom that comes with it Hank
But who says we have to wait decades before we get to kick back and chill out. Hank's got a course light right now
Take advantage of free will and spend the summer chilling like a retiree
pair those moments with course like the beer that's made a chill

The mountains turn blue they come out and you get them wet on his vacation with me. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, we got new merch too in the part of my take store.
Those suits, the mountains turn blue, they come out and you get them wet.
So if you go piss dogs on them, it's a, it's a great visual.
It's always good for life.
Oh, is that your who's back, Hank?
Yeah, we're, I was going to talk about Rodgers and Roar.
We talked about that.
I am also, I was wearing the swimsuit earlier first in my first lake jump.
Nice.
Nice.
And it's's it's honestly
unbelievable the technology is unbelievable it is like pft can it can it can it
test we mean lakes no no the bathing suit the bathing suit the bathing suit
mountains turning blue after you get them like in the water is very very sick
that would be funny if you were just talking about lakeshow they get all this
water here well yeah they just got. They have an ocean in Chicago.
Lakes appear is the goat, great lake.
Why?
I'm a lake-mishing guy.
No, no, it's just the white.
Why?
Because it's cold, it's clear.
Because it's cold, it's clear, and it's see-through.
Okay.
Yeah.
If you're real shame if people started taking videos
themselves peeing their blue mountain swimsuit,
and it would have top trend.
Yeah, yeah.
Be a real show.
Shout out to the people out there that were like, look at this grown ass man.
Like, I'm not going to sit there and piss myself after being out in the sun for six hours
drinking course lights.
Also, we piss ourselves all the time.
We're not grown ass men.
We're definitively not grown ass men.
We are, we are in age only are we grown ass men. Okay, good who's back, Hank.
Thank you. PFT's video. PFT shorts. No shorts. Specifically a core's life on shorts.
shorts. Okay, I guess let's let's play the hits. My who's back the week is Dan Snyder.
Oh, I told you how about you? Oh my god. So, so people who don't know we take the takeies like three weeks before they aired.
I kept on getting tweets and I was like, wait, what was my future take of the year?
And then I forgot that it basically kind of almost came true already.
No, no, it didn't almost come true already.
A report came out last Wednesday from, I think it was probably Dan Van Nata and Seth
Wigger Sham.
There are always the ones that put out these bomb shows at like 7 a.m. about Dan Snyder.
It happens like once every two months.
And it was behind the scenes of how Dan tried to strong arm the NFL and John Gruden and
basically he was behind all these leaks that happened, which is if you had a brain, you
knew who was behind those leaks, of course, when they were coming out, like everyone got
mad at John Gruden for the contents of the email.
But to me, the bigger story was always like, why is this email being selectively leaked
that was the result of a commanders or redskins investigation.
And the story was always going to be dance-seater, being a piece of shit asshole.
And so that story came out.
And then the following day, a follow-up report said that things are in jeopardy with the sale of the team because there's some loose ends in regards to
indemnifying Dan Sider against all the bullshit that he pulled while he was
still the owner of the team and no hey you don't get to
just copy Billy whatever it hasn't happened yet it hasn't happened yet okay
listen listen I say my take almost came true.
I say it too high.
We've yet to see it.
I'm waiting for all the facts to come out.
But if Dan Snyder,
Why don't you do that,
when they signed.
This would be the most diabolical fucking thing
this man has ever done.
If he goes this far,
makes specifically I would feel targeted.
I would feel like I was the one that he was going at.
If he goes this far throughout the process
of selling the team,
gives me six months to celebrate him selling the team.
And then he doesn't sell the team.
You gotta return all those t-shirts.
You gotta do a buyback program.
And then you put your hip hop champagne.
Then I'm out.
If Dan Satter comes back, I'm out.
I can't do it. I can't turn back. I'll root for any team in the NFL. You gotta be come with Texans. I'm out. I'm out. If Dan Sider comes back, I'm out. I'm out. I can't do it. I can't. I can't turn back.
I'll root for any team in the NFL.
You have to be called a Texan.
I'll be a fan.
Or a bearer's fan.
No, you got me in Chicago.
Yeah, that's pretty, that's on par for bad.
Yeah, it's on par, but at least it's, at least it's not the fucking dance nighters.
You guys can't be on the same team.
That would be so awesome if you were a Texan.
We just like forget to bring them up on Mondays.
You're like, what about my team?
Yeah, maybe the C words,
maybe I just have to root for the C words.
Oh, but yeah, I was very upset.
And I still am very upset because I'm realizing that there's
probably like a 25% possibility that he does stick around
for the rest of my life, owns the team, and I'll probably possibility that he does to stick around for the rest of my life
owned the team and I'll probably die before he does.
Yeah, 25%?
That's all, yeah, 25%.
That's all I know.
No, no, hey, you don't know anything about how big transactions are done.
Okay, you don't know anything about the word of finance.
You don't know about getting all your ducks to grow on this shit.
I know you don't pop champagne before the Super Bowl.
You don't pop champagne if the deal's not signed.
That's all I know.
That's what I know.
Yeah.
The interest rates weren't right, bro.
Yeah.
It has nothing to do with the interest rates.
100%.
It was definitely hot.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Money's too expensive.
Give me, Mohammed bin Salman.
Give me the Saudi Arabian public investment fund.
Anybody.
Anybody but Dan Snyder.
I don't care.
Give me Billy. Give me Billy only this team. I don't give his shit. No, you don't want that. Anybody, anybody but Dan Snyder, I don't care. Give me Billy, give me Billy
on anything. I don't give his shit. No, you don't want that. No, no, no, no, no, no,
for Billy Dan Snyder. Okay. And there's a lot of sickos out there, by the way, who told
me, like, I'm so glad this is happening to you. When it looked like Dan Snyder, there's
a lot of freaks that are shut up, shut up, shut up, there's a lot of freaks that are rooting
for me to be miserable for the rest of my life
This is the worst thing that's ever had they did a list
They did fucking list of the best players from each position during the dance night or era and it was the most depressing list
That you'll ever read the best quarterback that they had from the entire dance side or era
I had to be our G3 for six weeks. Oh, he was very good. He was very good. He was very good
It was a great six weeks. Yeah, he was a great six weeks. He was sick.
All right, my
Whose back is Andy Dalton?
Andy Dalton's back. I don't know if you guys saw this quote
That was dropped. I think it was Miles Sanders who's now on the Panthers. He was doing a podcast and he said
We've got a very very very, very good young quarterback
that's being mentored by a very, very, very good quarterback,
future Hall of Famer and he don't.
So, and he don't it's back.
All of my fame.
He's a you.
I was thinking about it.
I don't know if he's even in the redhead Hall of Fam.
I was thinking about it. I don't know if he's even in the redhead hall of fame.
Conan O'Brien, Ed Sheeran, Lindsay Lohan, Bill Walton.
Yeah, I'd put, I'd put him in over, over Lindsay Lohan. Oh, I don't know. What about Emma Stone? No, Lindsay Lohan was, was she had a, she had a decade run of
Christy Dalton. She was just a quarterback in the NFL for like, yeah,
Mark McHair. It's it's Prince Harry. It's it's a question whether he's in the red
head hall fan. Yeah, he's not I don't think that they're he's not a shooing for
any hall fan. I'll write that way. Right. So he is back though. Um, also Kevin
Durant's back he's very online and he had to refute a fake quote that made me laugh
The like one of those MBA central fake accounts tweeted
Kevin Durant quote, I'm seven feet tall and have the skill set of a shooting guard
I'm the best score in MBA history my only weakness is injuries and I just that it does actually sound like something
He would say to someone in a reply
Mm-hmm like that that's not that far off. It really does does actually sound like something he would say to someone in a reply. Mm-hmm.
Like that that that's not that far off.
It really does actually just sound like something that a Kevin Durant stand would say about
Kevin Durant in an argument about whether Kevin Durant is the best player in this generation.
And the stand is actually Kevin Durant in a burner account.
In a burner account.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I just saw that I was like, oh, yeah. And also, I
think it got community noted. And it just says, as inferred by Kevin Durant, this is a
fake quote. That's like the weakest community notes ever. It does not say it's fake. I thought
you're saying got community noted because somebody was like, actually, Kevin Durant
isn't the best for that was the person by these metrics. Yeah, that would be great. Actually, he's got more weaknesses. His handle gets a little loose in the playoffs.
Um, okay, Billy, what's your who's back? Uh, water dogs and the Gilgo Beach serial killer
has been caught. This might be a little local, uh, Long Island guys will know I'm talking
about, but they caught him. I was an architect and he was murdering people.
And they caught him in the most long island way ever.
They got DNA off of a pizza box where he didn't finish his crust.
Exactly.
Got to eat that crust.
Got to eat your crust, dude.
I'll tell you one thing.
If they get me for DNA, there's a million ways you can do it.
You could never get it for pizza
because I always finish the whole slice.
Yeah, that's what people should tell their kids who now on.
Here's why you should be a member of the Clean Plate Club.
If you don't, you might get arrested
for being a serial killer.
Also, it's not a funny story obviously
because it's serial killer and people died.
But we got his ass.
There was a twist that gave me a little chuckle.
He was, he did a video with some French dude
who like interviews architects in New York City.
And so this video that probably had 20 people who watched it, I clicked on it and it has
like a million and a half views on YouTube.
So yeah, interview with a serial killer.
That guy has a, his revenue is popping this month.
Any serial killers of this next generation, there's going to be a treasure trove of online
content that they've left behind
Yeah, that is not linked at all to whatever their crime is that we're gonna get to go through. It's gonna be wonderful
Yeah, this guy he's a real fucking piece of shit. So what's so many people in killbilly?
Four that we know for that we know of and it was all like you know
Short stretch in 2010. So it's been a while
And so he just quit.
He just, he got out the game.
He was,
you see the one that was like dumping him on the beach?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know how serial killer it about that guy.
Yeah.
I don't know how serial killing works,
but he just like, just had a, had a kick.
I think he was back on the game,
PFT because there was someone,
a woman filed a police report recently
being like this guy was just being
the biggest creep ever at the beach like kind of stalking me and he fit the
description of the serial killer and so yeah you can only stay away from so
long you don't hear about any serial killers just like walking away at the
peak of their at their talents yeah what's a very Sanders of serial killers yeah
went to high school Billy Baldwin yeah wow Billy Baldwin just tweeted that he's like oh wow how went to high school at Billy Baldwin. Yeah. Wow.
Billy Baldwin just tweeted that.
He's like, oh wow.
How went to high school with this guy?
I could have been me.
Whoa.
Shit.
Okay, Jake, finish us off.
My who's back is Steph Curry.
Yes.
He joins the summer 2023,
Holland Won crew.
Real Holland Won.
Max Homa, Blake Griffin, and now Steph Curry.
Oh, Blake Griffin, redhead, Hallfayne.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
So that was a sick hole in one.
Yeah, because we saw the whole thing.
Yeah, if I had the camera crew, I did as much as I could.
Jake, you're real.
Just gonna look like that.
Does anybody identify as a Redhead though?
Thanks, boss.
I don't know.
I got you.
I don't know.
He's down right now.
He lost Blake of the year.
I don't think I get to your term. I'm putting a tight hole. I'm not, he's down right now he lost the Blake of the year. I Don't think I get your term and putting a title on him. I know he might not he might not want to
Identify as I don't think you get to decide that I think that's for people that want to make
I know it's it. There's a choice to decide
now
What identify however you want by the way? Do we have the the intro to the show? Do we change it?
Which is gonna change is the one he said no, okay? So what gonna change it to the one of the seven. No.
Okay, so what do I need to
tax them and have them send me?
This may never get back.
It's part of my take.
It's part of my take.
It's part of my take.
It's part of my take.
It's part of my
parcel sports.
So he's.
Yeah.
All right.
I can you want me to. I can tax him.
Oh yeah, tax him.
Tax him and get it.
Yeah, so that tournament.
It's great.
There's always great clips.
Yeah, we're gonna go next year.
Put on the map.
We're going.
We're going.
Does that curry play with a mouthpiece?
No, no.
Everyone's sick.
Everyone's sick.
Zah, our colleague, good friend of all Vars,
had maybe the craziest take of all time.
He's like, I saw Steph Curry golf at a bar stool classic
as good as he is at basketball.
He's that much better at golf.
I was like, he's like a top 15 basketball player of all time. So I don't think he really understood
what he was saying in that in that tweet, but it was great. He also finished off the tournament
with an eagle to win. Yeah. Crazy. You might be a better golfer than he is a basketball player.
He could be. I mean, I'm still waiting. Like how sick would that be if Steph Curry just went pro?
Can't be better in their class.
Like Tony Romo should have, like Tony,
I, that's the thing though, Tony Romo was always talking
about is such an incredible golfer.
He's never sniffed pro, right?
No, but he's come close to golf like for some US opens.
So I act, Danny Woodhead,
is that like the same level right as Tony Romo is.
Steph Curry might be better
But I mean Tony Roma was competing in this week's tournament too and Curry Dustin. Oh, okay
So maybe I'm looking at the score cards Tony Roma was got some injuries Tony Roma was eight over on three rounds total
What it was Steph Curry?
Steph was even one over three on there so still very away. Like I would imagine if a pro played that course,
they'd be like the minus 16. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. You think he's better.
I think you might be. Yeah. I think I might agree with. I think he's playing the wrong sport.
Okay. Let's get to Craig Olson. And then we have Mount Rushmore of everyday villains,
Billy and Jake are on the fucking heater by the way.
It is now, what's the official standings?
11 to 10.
You guys are up one on us and we're up two on max.
Okay, so Max and Hank, they need some,
they need something, they need some juice.
This is usually the time of year when,
when Hank decides to blow up his own team,
and go in a different direction.
Yeah, yeah
True, they're one of us not us. Okay. Now you guys. All right, let's get it to Greg Olson
It's interview with Greg Olson's brought to you by the Barstool Sports Book the all-new Barstool Sports Book

Major League Baseball bets this week betting on the Conca Caff Gold Cup final this week, which is really just kind of an asterix final. These
teams players, the best players aren't playing, so it doesn't really matter that the USA
did not have Freddie Adieu or Christian Publishage or any of our best players. It doesn't matter
Mickey Mouse championship. You can also do look ahead, Lines. How about this? Who spread is it anyway? Week one, 720, 820 Eastern, September 7th,

Okay, we now welcome on one of our favorite recurring guests.
It is Greg Olson.
He is the man who called the Super Bowl this past year.
We're at Titan U. You're your baby, Titan U. You and George. So year three, let's start with
Titan U. Year three, how do you think it's going? Do you think we're getting Titan's more money?
I think so. I think our business model from the beginning is how much money can we spend,
how much corporate money can we spend on the camp to have professional tight ends
make more money in the NFL.
I think that was the business model and the inspiration behind the entire camp.
I think we're doing pretty well.
Last year we had 82, I think this year we have 82.
So we're, it's growing.
I don't know how much bigger we can physically expand to and like still keep the integrity
of the event, but it's growing a lot faster than, I mean, we've got 25, or 35 the first year.
So we're at 82 now.
And we have a lot of guys that reach out last minute.
We're like, we don't have any rooms left.
Yeah.
Have you thought about getting Jimmy Graham to teach a class and just having him say,
take the letters TE out of your bio on Twitter and then they have to pay you as a wide receiver?
And line up less than four yards from more than four yards
from the tackle and then when he would have won his arbitration hearing back in
like 14. Yeah. So that's on him. He should have not lined up so close to the
tackle so often. He should have moved out one more yard and he would have
broke the bank. So that's a missed opportunity. But yeah, we we'd love to have
Jimmy come. We've we've got Grant come in this year first time. He's ever come
So that'll be cool
Obviously Kelsey at Kittle
We've had Waller the last two years and we've name them. We've had them come through here. So it's a it's pretty cool
It is a cool environment to be in and I'm gonna gas you up because I know that you're too classy to gas yourself up on this
but after the Super Bowl this year we said
Greg gave I don't know if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I can tell if I appreciate that. I'll be honest, since every person I know obviously listens to PMT, including myself.
But I hadn't listened to that one yet,
and I had a buddy call, they're like, hey,
you need to put on PMT this week.
They just did their Super Bowl kind of recap show,
and they talked about you.
I was like, so I went back and listened.
I'll be honest, I appreciate that.
That was super cool.
But listen, I said from the beginning, I knew how awkward, I appreciate that. That was super cool. But Liz, I said from the beginning,
I knew how awkward it was gonna be with the Brady stuff.
When that news came down and then obviously they ended up
putting me in temporarily for that year,
assuming when he retired that he would do it this season,
the 23 season.
I knew last year that was gonna be the swirling question.
I knew that was gonna be kind of the uncomfortable
elephant in the room of, well yeah, you're doing it now,
but you're just kind of the bench warmer.
You're just keeping the seat warm until Brady comes.
And my approach was just lean into it.
You know, like be the one that makes it awkward.
Be the one that brings it up.
Like don't shy away from it because you can either
let it crush your, you can just kind of lean into it
and make it fun and say, hey, I'm gonna have a blast
with this thing until they literally call me and kick me fun and say, hey, I'm gonna have a blast with this thing
until they literally call me and kick me out.
And that was how I tried to do it.
I didn't try to call the game the way other guys do.
I didn't try to call the game the way I thought Brady would do it.
I just tried to call the game the way Kevin and I did
the year before when we were on the number two crew.
And the only difference this year
is just more people watched our game.
A lot more people.
A lot less people.
We were on bias because you did a fantastic job,
and I think I even said in an unbiased way,
you were a piece of shit for not mentioning how bad the turf was,
specifically for the Eagles.
Yeah, because they changed the turf when the Eagles were out there.
Correct.
The turf was worse.
And then when the Chiefs went out, you know, they roll it in and out.
Yeah.
No, I didn't, I probably should have been more clear on that. I probably should have been
clear that the turf, the turf was different for each team, which was unfortunate. I feel
like I did make up for it though on the passenger appearance holding slash holding ball.
Yeah, you were on that. Still don't think it was a great call. Yeah. And also if, who was it?
Bradbury?
Bradbury.
If he didn't afterwards say, I held him.
He made, it would have been a bigger story.
It would have been, and he made me look bad,
so I'm mad at James.
Yeah.
Because when he took ownership, when he went
like full professional post game locker room,
like that's on me, I did hold him call.
It really kind of made my argument.
Yeah.
Strong and real time. No, you did a great job in that moment because I think even,
let's say yes, okay, he held them.
That's the letter of law they call it.
You were basically saying what everyone in America
was thinking at that moment that this is an all-time classic
super bowl and to have it end end in this way sucks.
No, it just does.
It sucks.
And I think after the performance that we saw from both teams, at half time, we didn't
know if my homes was going to be able to play anymore.
He reached things the ankle, then they go, they trade blows, they go back and forth.
That game deserved for Philly and Jalen Hertz to get the ball with, I don't know, was
their minute, minute 30.
I don't remember exactly much time there was.
There would have been after the incomplete on third down, settle for three and they get
the ball and they go.
But instead, we got an unbelievably
historically exciting game that came down
to a kneel time out in essence,
a walkoff fuel bowl.
It felt like the air in the stadium came out.
And I think something that I try to remind myself of,
I'm not always gonna be perfect in the booth,
but you're a fan.
Right.
We're all fans of professional football.
We're fans of NFL football.
I don't care who wins the game.
I wanna see what was a historically great Super Bowl,
have a historically great ending.
And I think when the MVP runner up has a chance
to have the ball to answer a score
that the MVP quarterback just had before him.
I think everyone in there
except a Kansas City Chiefs fan,
I think the rest of the world
was calling for that ending.
Yeah.
Just because we were in the booth,
we were too.
Like it wasn't such an egregious,
such a ridiculous penalty
that you have no choice to throw it, right?
I'm not one of those guys that says,
hey, when the game's on the line,
you swallow your whistle and basketball,
you stick your, no penalties or penalties, fouls or fouls, I get it, right? I'm not one of those guys that says, hey, when the game's on the line, you swallow your whistle and basketball, you stick your, no penalties or penalties,
fouls or fouls, I get it, but I don't,
it just seemed so ticky-tack in the moment.
And it changed the way that game was viewed
from a historical context.
There's no question.
And I'd have to do with the fact
that you had, you would tell us
that you put a hundred grand on the game.
No, I had nothing to do with that.
We can't joke about that anymore.
I was, guys are getting, that was a joke.
Yeah, that was a joke. Can we edit it? He had three hundred and't know. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don play really. Yeah, and I think there's twofold. I think I had never been there, right?
I think it was a career long journey.
I had been close when my last year in Chicago
we lost to the Packers in the NFC Championship game.
So I had gotten close.
I played in some big playoff games,
been in some moments, but you know,
people can prepare you all they want
for what playing in the Super Bowl is like.
But until you're out there, it really is a surreal moment.
I remember walking off the field
and you get into a locker room after the game
and you're like, wait, it can't be over.
I wanna go back and redo it.
We gotta start over again.
It's hard to explain.
I think playing it was my lifelong dream.
You work your entire world revolves around playing
at the highest level.
We get into that point, and you're like,
I'm here, that's not fuck it up.
And we did, we did fuck it up.
And we played the worst game of our entire season
and blew it.
I think now coming back in a different role,
but had been at the Super Bowl before,
you're not the one on the field, right?
You're just reacting to what's going on.
I had been at the shoe bowl.
I didn't, the winner and loser had no bearing on me.
Like, so I just think the role of the game
was obviously a lot different.
I was older, I probably was more mature for it.
I don't know, I just, I felt very comfortable
once the ball got kicked off.
It felt very normal standing up in the booth
with Kevin kind of calling it the way we had all year.
I mean, that's awesome.
That's a testament to what you guys were able to build this year.
Now, other game, and we're not going to talk all broadcasting, but the NFC Championship
game, like, once Brock Pertigates hurt, are you guys just going through like a list of stories
you can tell?
Like, we're going to have to this game because it really didn't have any, once he was hurt
and then Josh Johnson got concussed, it was like, we now have two more hours of this game
that is in no doubt.
It's so funny.
We have, so we do our production meetings all week and then the night before the game,
we have our big crew-eyed production meeting.
The way it works is all week, we all share,
you know, whether it's texts and emails and phone calls, whatnot. And we get like our top storylines
of the game, the overarching themes of the game, and then each storyline of San Francisco's offense,
San Francisco's defense, in this case Philadelphia's offense, Philadelphia's defense, and you kind of
set the tone. And most games go exactly according to plan. Hey, early in the game, man, it's all
about the quarterbacks, whatever, whatever the storylines are. Let's live, let's dive
into the quarterbacks. Let's set the game unfold. We don't need to force in a lot of things
early in the game. Let's let it breathe. And as the game goes on, you kind of follow ABC
indeed, and you kind of go through your checklist as the game goes. This game was one of those
games where it's like, you better have a full bucket. Like you, like you better have a full bucket like you like you better have a full bucket of
Content to talk about because every once in a while you get one game a year that just goes sideways. Yeah, and nothing you prepared for
Oral week none of the storylines none of the players
Nothing goes the way you thought it was and you better have some shit to talk about well our one game last year
Just happened to be the NFC championship and a game
that we thought going in had the makings of like an all-time matchup. And then it just completely
fell on its face. And we went and entire, was it half? The Dias Johnson get concussed early in
the third quarter? Layton. And it was also the member that I think the Eagles scored right before
half and they looked like the Niners were going to score and then there was an interception or
something or a fumble. So they played almost an entire half of scored right before half and they look like the Niners were going to score and then there was an interception or something or
a fumble. So they played almost an entire half of the NFC championship and they
were not in a place to throw a competitive downfield pass. It's I mean it was it's
it's unmatched and it just happened to be on such a big scale but I remember
walking out of the game and we were pissed, right? Like you want to call big matchups, big moments, 42, 40,
come down to the last two-minute drive and timeouts
and this big ending and we are literally running
smoke screens, McAfrie's at Wildcat quarterback.
They're running triple reverse passes.
I mean, it's recess, right?
They're playing gym class football at a necessity.
And I remember walking out of the stadium and it was such a buzzkill.
We had to get, you know, we're like, yeah, we get to call the Super Bowl, but
Fuck like that game sucked. There was nothing exciting about it. Well,
at the same time, like after a couple days pass, we're like, you know what?
If we can call that game, we can call any game in the history of the NFL.
We just called the game with 50 million people watching it, and we had a team that was incapable of throwing a forward pass.
It was like we were watching Army in like 1850.
Yeah.
It was just, it was very, that was a very surreal game
to broadcast, but I also think a really good one
to kind of put in the bank and say,
hey, you gotta figure it out.
You better figure it out and find ways to get around it
because the broadcast doesn't stop.
And there's still 50 million people that are listening to every word you say, and they're not gonna give you a break You got to figure it out. You got to figure it out and find ways to get around it because the broadcast doesn't stop.
And there's still 50 million people that are listening to every word you say.
And they're not going to give you a break just because of the circumstances of the game.
You still better be able to keep them entertained and you better know your shit.
I think that's a fair point.
I mean, Big Cat started this podcast.
It was pretty much right as March Madness was ending.
And we didn't, this time of year in the sports calendar, nothing to talk about. So we basically filled our first four months, five months with doing an entire second half
of the NFC championship game.
Then football season comes around, it's like content overload.
Super Bowl comes around for you, you nail it.
Do you actually do go back and listen to your old broadcast?
Do you critique yourself?
You know, it's funny.
You said, I was with Berkhart.
I was playing golf on them the other day,
and he goes, hey, for the first time,
I went back and watched the Super Bowl.
I was like, really?
He's like, man, I really like the sound of it.
I wanted, you know, six months has passed,
give it five months, whatever.
And I wanted to go back and take a listen.
He's like, I really thought it was good.
I was like, I'll be honest with you, man.
I haven't listened to one of our broadcasts.
I caught about 20 minutes of our Minnesota Vikings,
wild card round between the Vikings and the Giants
when the Giants beat the Vikings this year.
We called that game was awesome.
I caught like 20 minutes of that on like a random Wednesday night
at 10 o'clock.
It came on NFL network.
So I listened to like the end of the third quarter
and I was like, all right, like that's it. But I had never once gone back
and listened to one of our broadcasts.
We did a quick crew meeting one time
where our crew played the first quarter of a game,
just to talk through some different mechanics
and whatnot with the truck,
but I don't go back and listen to him.
I don't like the sound of my voice.
I don't like, I would say the biggest reason
that I don't is after every game, it's no different than as a player,
you replay every, you guys probably do it,
like you do an interview and you're like,
shit, I should've asked him this or I should've went,
this, like you replay every game,
I don't wanna get into the habit where I when I watch it post,
I second guess everything I did in real time,
and then the next game, the next week,
I have that recall on my head and the next game, the next week,
I have that recall in my head, and I'm like,
and I'm second guessing myself.
Like I wanted to be natural,
I want whatever comes out to come out.
And when it's over, it's over.
I don't wanna cloud the real time decision making
that goes on calling a game by being like Johnny,
you know, Monday morning quarterback.
I don't.
I'm sure there's people that you have that do that for you.
They give you pointers.
Yeah.
My first year, every Tuesday, our director would give us like a long email.
By Tuesday morning, it was long and I would look forward to reading it.
And it was a minute by minute breakdown of the entire broadcast.
Not just me or the booth, but the truck, hey, camera, A, you've got to be on the seven
yard line. You were on the seven yard line.
You were on the 12 yard line.
You missed your angle.
Hey, truck, we've got to be better getting the replay back to the booth.
Booth, you guys got to sit out longer because you came in whatever it was.
It's a minute by minute, time stamped analysis of the entire broadcast.
That was super helpful.
Last year, my producer and director would call me in the middle of the week with, hey,
in the open. You know, don't feel like you have to go so long, or hey, and why not?
So you're brick watch.
Yeah, exactly.
Things like that, like keep it up longer, keep your hands above your head, like stuff
like that.
Maybe you're watching the other wrist too.
Yeah, where two watches, and it's called the mincey.
Yeah, right.
You're going to do the other mincey.
Right, right, right, right.
Did they ever tell you anything about that?
You're going to go more of this less of the other
Yeah, yeah, yeah good work
Yeah, uh is there one that's fair?
Is there one called you like to have back one call yeah
Yeah, I mean I mean I've messed up what's funny funny is, when you know you misspeak
or you get the guys number wrong
or you get the guys name wrong, in your brain,
it's like you get that hot sensation
because you know it immediately.
I mispronounced routes earlier than that.
It's a rude.
To Sam, Donald, I was like,
you think I don't know ball, but I know balls.
That's tough.
That's a tough one.
Route 66.
Yeah, I know what it's tough.
It's my McLean accent.
Yeah, right.
No, we'll let it slide, but it's fine.
It's nice to know though that the guy doesn't know balls.
Yeah.
I'm getting hot right now.
Johnny, Johnny Roots.
But no, you get that like hop on.
Oh my God, the whole world.
And reality is like no one even picked up on it.
They have no idea that you called them Joe
and his name's John.
No, they have to check Twitter because they're on your ass.
Yeah, that's fair.
I try not to do that too regularly.
But yeah, I mean, I've made plenty of stupid comments,
plenty of mistakes.
Call the guy the wrong name, have the wrong timeouts.
You know, it happened to the guy called the ending
of that great game the other night.
Oh, it was a car ravage.
So I wake up and I'm reading, I see the video that's being shared, bar stool shares, everybody
shares it.
And like, it's easy to laugh at the guy and it's easy to poke fun.
And yeah, like you're calling the college world series, it was like, old dominion or something.
It's easy to knock the guy and how do you mess that up in the moment?
Like, sometimes when things are going fast,
I'm like, man, I put myself in that position,
but there were times where I'm trying to make a point,
and I'm like, no, that wasn't Patrick Mooms.
That was when Jalen Hertz had the ball
that that whole sequence would,
and you have the entire wrong team sequence of events
that was the chiefs, and you're talking about it,
like it was the Eagles.
It can happen to anybody, like, I believe in karma.
So I'm like, I'm not re-sharing that.
I'm pretending like I never saw it.
I'm not putting that up to the gods that they, one day,
put me in Carl Ravich's shoes.
But I've messed up a million things and drawn the wrong picture
on the diet, you know.
The penis.
Yeah, straighter dog.
That's tough.
Yeah.
There's so many things in NFL football
that look like penises.
Yeah.
I can't even, and there's a lot of like
very questionable
verbiage that you use in NFL football.
Yeah.
That penetration, come inside.
Yeah.
Like there's a lot, there's a lot of stuff
that like, you gotta be careful.
Yeah.
And I'm not gonna lie, there's times where I'm like,
here's a safety, here's a safety,
and you want to show that third little zone,
and you're like, nope, delete, clear screen.
You're like, I'm not going to be the dick guy.
This is why you got to be on the Arizona Bull broadcast,
because we just did everything.
I love it.
I know, texting with you guys live,
texting with you on that game was a highlight of Bullseye.
And I think you told Dave,
hey, let Jake talk more
Dave's like fuck that.
That was a shit.
That was that that was a bull season highlight for me like my wife
said what are you doing?
What game are we watching?
I'm like relax.
I'm live.
I'm texting real time right now with big cat and Portoie
about their broadcast of the Arizona bowl
She's like you're ridiculous. It's so stupid. It was great game. It's great game
It's great broadcasts and that was as fun as I had in real time. Yeah watching a game in a long time
Should we talk about Miami? Sure
What's going on?
Not back
Basketball had a great year. Okay, we're not talking about baseball.
Baseball, baseball, man.
No, no, no, no, no.
That's not what you meant.
I'm a believer in Mario.
Go.
The girls basketball team making the elite eight.
The Cavendor twins.
Yeah, they went to Indiana.
They had a great run.
They beat Indiana.
Listen, I'm a believer in Mario.
That's not what you meant.
I am too.
What happened?
I think that that was a bigger turnaround job than what people thought.
And I think Mario just from knowing him. So my history with Mario goes back. I was a rising sophomore.
I was going in my 10th grade year in high school. Mario was the quality, offensive quality control.
I guess that's what they call it. In college he'd be the offensive GA, but it's the same equivalent.
Assistant Titans coaches, he what he was in all fact., he'd be the offensive GA, but it's the same equivalent. And assistant tight ends coaches,
what he was in all, in fact,
butch Davis was the head coach, Larry Coker
was the offensive coordinator, Greg Siano
was the defense of coordinator,
I mean, that was like the hey day of Miami,
that was top, top tier Dorsey in those guys.
So I'm rising 10th grader, I meet Mario for the first time,
that next year when I'm a sophomore,
that fall Greg Siano goes from defensive coordinator
at Miami to the head coach at Rutgers,
which is in New Jersey, brings Mario as his tight end coach.
So he started recruiting me at Miami as like a GA.
This was in like 2000, Ish.
He goes to Rutgers, recruits me for three years
in essence to come to Rutgers.
I obviously didn't go there.
End up going to Miami.
My first year, our tight end coach leaves to go join Butch with the Cleveland Browns and
Larry Coker brings Mario back to Miami as my tight end coach.
So I go way back with Mario.
I talked to him the other day on the phone for a long time and whatnot.
I said this from the dime he got the job.
If he can't turn Miami back into what we all remember,
Miami, it just can't be done.
It just can't be done.
Yeah, that would be a sad reality to confront.
Yeah.
And I don't think that's gonna be the way it all shakes out,
but I think when we look back on it, if it doesn't,
it's never gonna happen.
What was different about the U back then
than where we're at right now?
You know, I think the time.
Nevin Shapiro's in jail.
That hurt.
No.
No, I think, no, but there is some validity
to like that kind of stuff, especially in today's day and age,
right?
In this day and age where recruiting is NIL based,
you're legally paying players, $100 million facilities.
You come on your recruiting visit and you drive around in a Ferrari all week.
Like everything now has gotten so blown out of what really matters,
which is, okay, you're gonna come play for me.
You're gonna get an education.
I'm gonna prepare you to win national championships and you're gonna go to the NFL.
That was always Miami's recruiting pitch.
You come here, if you're worth a shit and you're willing to compete against the best guys in the world at what they do, you're
gonna get drafted and you're gonna make a career in the NFL. That was the
calling card of why you went to Miami. The practices in Miami were harder than
the games where when we played Wake Forest and Clemson at the time and George
Attack and all these like we competed against more first rounders in practice
than we did in any of the games maybe outside of Florida State.
It just was, the culture was different.
What kids wanted in recruiting was different.
When I went to Miami, if you walked in the wait room, the locker room, the training room,
where we ate lunch, dinner, you'd be like, yeah, like this isn't there.
But back when I came out or even before when I was younger in high school, it didn't matter.
It was not a contest to see who had the nicest barber shop and who had the best water slide.
And who had, like, but that's what these kids, social media, and I don't want to sound like an old man,
but like this whole craze of attention, social media, going viral,
the thing, everything that really doesn't matter as far as becoming a great college slash NFL football player is the priority now.
You go on recruiting visits nowadays. I mean, I talk to kids all over the country when they go to these schools or high school kids back home that are being recruited.
The conversations going on at the dinner tables when I was getting recruited, you're going to meet with our guidance counselors.
We're going to get you a degree. What are your interests? We're going to get you drafted. We're going to develop you as a player.
They don't even talk about that anymore.
It's what's my NAL package.
How many years do I have to play?
Can I start as a freshman?
If I don't start as a freshman, I'm going in the portal.
I'm gone.
There's no room for development.
There's no room for, by the time you're
in your second, third year, you're going to be a great player.
And that was always what Miami's stick was.
It just doesn't play in this.
So now they're trying to catch up,
but they're playing 10 years behind
a lot of the other big players, right?
We don't have the endowment, we don't have the budget,
we don't have the alumni.
We have 10,000 kids in the school.
Georgia produces more of that
in every graduating class.
And some, it's just different.
And Miami's now having to play by these new rules
that they've never had to play by. And Mario's and but in a lot of ways they're playing ketchup.
How obnoxious you're going to be if Miami does in fact come back beyond okay the year that Miami that the flash in the pan that Miami had the Notre Dame game.
The Barrios I showed up the next day to the facility in a Catholics-first convict's t-shirt.
I wore my helmet in.
I was the most obnoxious.
And it lasted for two weeks.
That was like our moment at the last decade.
Was that two weeks ban?
We were whatever we peaked at in the country,
top 10 or five, whatever it was.
And we bludgeoned.
Noted a my national TV.
And man, I was buying Catholics-first convict's t-shirts. I was putting them in guys' lockers. I mean, I was ob legend, Notre Dame on national TV. And man, I was buying Catholics versus convicts t-shirts.
I was putting them in guys' lockers.
I mean, I was obnoxious.
And then I think in the bowl game,
we lost to like, Wichita Stators.
I don't know, whatever.
I think you actually lost to Wisconsin.
Yeah, because we actually-
It was like, it ended the turnover chain.
Because Paul Chris, maybe the details of the story-
The least slaggy coach of all time was like,
turnover chain my ass. And that was it. I don't want to get into the stomach. I don't want to get into the story around it. The least slaggy coach of all time was like, turn over, chain my ass, and that was it.
I don't want to get into the story.
I don't want to get into the details and get bogged down.
But the moral of the story is,
Mario's last two recruiting classes have been big.
He still might be one big time class away
from it really being the Miami we know.
But I think they're going to be significantly more
competitive than they were last year, at least we hope. being the Miami we know, but I think they're gonna be significantly more competitive
than they were last year, at least we hope.
I root for Miami just because my friend Danny Boycane, I just want him to be happy.
He's happy.
I root for Miami because obviously that's my heart.
I went there, my wife went there.
I love nothing more.
Watching their girls basketball, watching their men's team make the lead, both the lead
eight maybe, one made the final four, whatever it was.
The baseball, we love supporting Miami sports, we donate, we give,
but the football team needs to be good.
Let's be honest, the rest of the sports, and I root for them because I root for them,
but I root for them more now because of how much I love Mario and respect what he's done.
And I'll do anything he asks and support him in any capacity.
A lot more than maybe I did for a lot of the other coaches.
A, because I just liked them and go way back,
but B, because I believe that, like I said,
if he can't do it, it can't be done.
Yeah.
Could the 2001, 2002 Miami team have played in the NFL?
Yes, as a team, as a team.
I mean, they're not going to win the Super Bowl,
but they'd be more competitive than some of the bottom teams that we see year in and year out at the bottom of the league
There's no quite that's the greatest. I know the I know though. What is it the 918 19 LSU team?
What year was that with borrowers? Yeah?
2019 right before covid. Yeah, so I know that team was historic
There is no comparison in my mind the 2000 that that 2001 Miami team that beat Nebraska.
And then the next year a bunch of those guys came back
and lost Ohio State, but that Nebraska team,
that's the best college football team of all time.
Yeah, I actually agree with you.
They're probably the most fun team to just go back
and say names from that team.
Do you wanna say some names?
I mean, this is the best way to run it down.
Sean Taylor and Antrell Roll and Kellyn Winslow were running down on kickoff.
Yeah, because they couldn't say.
Because they weren't good enough.
Willis McGay, Willis McGay, was moved to back up fullback.
Because he was third string tailback behind Frank Gore and Clinton Portis.
Yeah, it's insane.
Andre Johnson was Andre Johnson.
Andre Johnson, Jeremy Shockey, Bryant McKinney, Dorsey.
Villma, right?
Villma, DJ Williams, Vince Wilfork.
I mean, you could go on.
It's ridiculous.
I just nodded.
So I mean, a couple of years, so years after that.
So that was my junior year in high school,
my senior year in high school, the Miami lost to Ohio State.
And then I went in that neck, you know, so that game
was in January, I enrolled to say like July, August, whatever it was.
Mon, I was on the, I was on the, I wasn't playing, I wasn't good enough as a freshman, I was
also an eligible because I transferred from Notre Dame in a day where you couldn't just
freely transfer. So I was an eligible my freshman year, I can only practice. When I broke the
huddle my first year, so this is 2003. We were not we
started out high, but we did not end the year. We had six first round draft picks
that year. That set that set the record most ever in the first round. We had six.
When I broke the Huddle as a scout team quarterback, a scout team tight end
that year, we had Kelly Jennings first round pick, Antroll Roll first round
pick, Sean Taylor first round pick, DJ Williams first round pick, Jonathan Vilma first round pick,
Vince Wilfork first round pick, Roger McIntosh,
second round pick, just on defense.
Yeah.
Just on defense.
Crazy.
It was wild.
That's not Santana Moss.
Was he around?
Santana was on the previous year we were talking about.
So I, Sennoris, his younger brother, played with me,
Santana, oh, Reggie Wayne.
Yeah.
They were all on that Nebraska.
Crazy.
It's insane that you, that like Reggie Wayne
is one that just pops through.
Oh yeah, it just, there's so many.
Are you know what, Reggie might have been the year before.
That might have been, Reggie actually might not have been
on the year that beat Nebraska.
That might have been Reggie and Santana
might have been the year before that.
That was like, shocky and Andre Johnson and those guys.
I think Reggie and Santana were the year before us.
So who's the alpha dog on that team?
Paul, man, that's a good question.
They say the guy that made it all work was Dorsey.
Dorsey is a wildly competitive guy.
I mean, you saw the video of him trashing the thing like,
so Dorsey was our
was our quarterback coach for years in Carolina with me.
So I've known Dorsey for a long time. I bust Dorsey's balls
because when I went on my recruiting visit, Eric Winston
was my host like a we start as a tight I went but they took me
to Dorsey's house and they were getting ready to play the
national championship.
He was super serious.
He never came out of his room, stayed in there by himself, him and Brett Romberg where the
roommates, the center.
And years later, I'd be like, Dorsey, you know why I went to Notre Dame?
Because you didn't even have the fucking balls to come out of your room and say what's
up to me on my recruiting visit.
He's like, that's not true.
I said, oh yeah, your big ass house with the fish tank.
He's like, you were at my house.
I'm like, yeah, the house, what I know you had that big ass fish tank
in your room.
He's like, I'm sorry, man, I didn't even know you were there.
But anyway, Dorsey kept that group running.
From everything I had heard, I wasn't there with them,
but from everything the stories that I had heard
is it took that kind of personality to keep Shaki and Andre
and all these big first round top guys,
like keep them in order and he did not hesitate
and be like, shut up, don't tell me again,
you want the fucking ball,
you won't see it again the rest of the time,
do your job, I'll get you the ball when you're open
and he would like nip it.
Yeah, well I mean, yeah, those teams are all the time.
Sirius question, how's your son doing?
Because I know, I mean, like, when we've had you on in the past,
we've talked about, you know, being an organ donor
and like getting a little more serious.
It's obviously, it feels like it's gone well
and it's been a great story.
And it's also something that we just need to remind everyone
every few years, like being an being organ donor because it saves lives.
No doubt.
I mean, he just celebrated on June 4th.
He celebrated his two year anniversary from his heart transplant.
Incredible.
He's here.
My kids came with my wife for the first time.
They'd never been here to TEU.
So they're going to come and work out and run around a little bit.
But yeah, he's doing great.
He just finished fourth grade.
He, like I said, he's two years past his heart transplant and to think back to that summer two years ago
and how far he's come now, he's 10, is pretty wild.
I mean, he went through hell.
I mean, when we tell people the story of the way
in which they go about organ procurement
and heart transplant specifically,
it's a pretty wild ride.
And yeah, we're just thankful that we had the care
that we had that years ago, there was advancements
that led to us.
And now we're trying as a foundation
to fund research and fund programs and care
that won't be done in time to help him.
But we're hoping that in 20 years,
like someone did 20 years ago for us in 20 years from now,
they're gonna be able to grow those organs.
They're going to be able to create you a new heart or new components to your heart out
of your own skin tissue.
I mean, that stuff's going on right now across the world.
And as scary as it is until you have a kid in that situation, you're like, damn right,
I'll let you grow a new heart.
If it means my kid gets to live, there's what wouldn't you do.
So there's some really interesting stuff coming down the pipeline,
but that was a wild journey.
I mean, it's hard to believe how far he's come.
And it's important to remind people
like, because we had a guy come in,
it was like probably a few months ago
who just had a heart transplant
and one of his like in the Make-A-Wish program
was to come to Barstow and like hang out.
It was awesome story and I'm so stupid,
I never realized that like he was like,
yeah, this is, it's incredible,
but like, in 10 years, I'm gonna need new heart.
And like, I didn't even think about that.
So like, that's the importance of organ donors.
Like, it's not like, oh, you get a new heart
and then you're good for the rest of your life.
You need to get, like, people who have this issue
need to get new hearts over and over.
Like, it's my-
And that's what the challenge is.
So the condition he was born with in some hospitals throughout the country,
the immediate treatment is just at the time you're born,
they put you on a hard transplant list.
They don't try to do any of the other surgeries.
He went through three open-heart surgeries to live with a deformed heart.
That was, it was inefficient, but it was healthy enough that he could live.
The reason they do that is because fortunately in America,
babies don't die. Right. Often. And when they do its tragic,
but it's fortunately it doesn't happen a lot. So when you're a newborn infant,
you're in the hospital for a year, two years waiting for a heart,
because there's just not a lot of candidates. So the idea is get you older,
get you bigger, increase your pool of potential candidates. There's always tragedy on the
other end of organ donors. And I think that was something that we as a family, we still
talk about with him. We talked about it leading up to it. Like when we got the call that there
was an organ that there was a heart that was a compatible that was a match for him, our
immediate excitement, right? In the moment, there's that high of like,
oh my God, the moment's here, like, let's do it.
And then you take a step back
and you're like, there's another family around the country
that is in mourning right now.
Right.
Because in order to be an organ donor,
like you have to have brain death,
like it's a very sudden accident-based death.
And that's scary, right?
That's hard to comprehend, but to your point, yeah,
I mean, this is by no means a quick fix.
He had his heart transplant at eight.
The basic math now is they last for like 17 to 20 years.
Right.
So he's 25 to 30, you know, give or take in there.
And hopefully, every year that number, you know, 10 years ago,
hearts lasted 12 years. So the length of how they're able to get these hearts to last is increasing,
but on average, it's give or take, you know, little less than 20 years. And when you're eight, that
puts you at, you know, your late 20s, maybe you get to 30, you know, your fresh out of college for
a couple of years, you're trying to get your life started, and then you gotta go get another heart transplant
and start this all over again.
So it's by no means the end of the road,
but the life he's living now is disproportionately
better than the life he lives before,
and that's what we try to focus.
That's awesome.
That's kind of like,
shout out doctors and science.
Shout out doctors and science.
They don't think you're getting a bad rap these days.
It's been a tough road for scientists and doctors.
They're getting sued in the Twitter street.
Fortunately, my experience is cardiothoracic heart surgeons
don't live a lot in like Twitter versus vaccine debate.
So it's been fortunate they've kind of gotten to stay
below the fray.
I've been trying to debate a heart surgeon on this show.
Nobody will come on the show today.
What do you want to debate them?
Just about heart medicine.
Yeah, let's talk about it.
Well, I know way more about heart medicine than they do.
And they refuse to confront me face to face.
It's fair enough.
That's unfortunate.
That's unfortunate.
I feel like they should come on to debate you.
I've got a lot to teach them about heart science.
I was, I had a moment not to get into the weeds.
I'm sure people would be pissed me saying this.
But I was sitting in a moment, we were on the road.
And I was sitting in a hot tub
and there was a few people debating science
and they were like, we don't think a certain disease
maybe isn't real and the vaccine isn't real
and then they also mentioned that he had gotten
open-heart surgery like three years ago
and I was just sitting there being like,
that's pretty big science, dude.
Like open-heart surgery.
It's pretty big, man. It's that's pretty big science, dude. Like open art surgery. It's pretty big science.
If people knew the series of events that went in
to pulling off transplants, people would be like,
there's no fucking way.
I just get mine from Joe Rogan, I trust him.
Which is great.
He has multiple.
Dude, baby heart surgeons, those are the most badass people
in the world. When my son had his first heart surgeons, those are the most badass people in the world.
When my son had his first heart transplant,
he was two days old, he weighed seven and a half pounds
call it, whatever, seven and a half pounds, whatever he was.
A baby's heart is the size of the baby's thumbnail.
Not your thumbnail, the baby's thumbnail
is the size of a infant's heart on birth.
It's crazy. Think about that. It's crazy. It's wild.
What they're able to do. Yeah, these doctors. That's awesome.
Super. I appreciate you asking. He's doing great. He's here. Yeah.
I was hoping he was going to barge in the door at any minute.
He's running around somewhere with his mother. How can the
listeners get involved? Is there a foundation that they should
look at? Yeah, I'm an organ donor. I have it in my Twitter
bio. I am too. Lex in the world. I'm an organ. That's a huge
flex. Congrats to you.
Yeah.
You know, we've run a program what we call the hardest yard.
We just celebrated our 10th anniversary.
It started as an in-home private nursing thing.
So back in Charlotte, we've now expanded to not only North Carolina, but also in South
Carolina.
So we're a regional center now.
We have a 25,000 square foot comprehensive heart clinic that we funded.
It's in Charlotte.
So we do inpatient work, we do outpatient work.
We try to, we finance clinical trial, clinical support, clinical studies.
So it's really a multiple approach to all of this, right?
There's the acute care, right?
How do you provide the best level of care after diagnosis from recovery following surgery to the best equipment,
to the best doctors, to the best follow-up care?
But then there's also the other side of the coin,
which is, okay, how do we prevent kids from having this?
And what is the perfect fix, right?
It's not just, that's not key putting band-aids
on these kids and just kicking the can down the road.
That's what we've done for the last 30 years,
to at least get these, you know, 30 years ago my kid wouldn't have made it past
a week, just there was no chance of survival. So we've kicked that can now 30 years down the road,
but there's still no fix. The transplant, to Big Cat's point, is still not a fix, it's a temporarily
successful, you know, process. So that's where a lot of the money and the research is going right now.
So there's a lot of ways, you know, that's what we do at our foundation,
the hardest yard, that's what we do back in our region,
but there's a similar work going on
throughout the entire country,
both in the Oregon procurement component
and also just in the cardiac space,
specifically with pediatric health.
You're really good dude, man.
You're really good at it.
Besides, he's probably the best dude we have.
Besides like betting on the Super Bowl, besides, besides, besides,
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't,
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't,
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't,
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't,
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't,
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't,cks. Yeah, he was in, because they lost. Yeah, the black hocks, the blue and the blue and the blue.
And like, we have some really cool moments
and some funny moments.
I remember I was in Chicago when Big Cat got hired.
And I remember me and Cutler would always say to Portanoid,
like, you got Barstool Philly and you got Barstool.
It was Boston Philly in New York.
Yeah.
And I was like, how do you not have anything in Chicago?
Like, this is where all young kids come and whatever and the next thing you know
I'm watching big cat and like a suit at the side of like a basketball WMBA game. Whatever it was
Yeah, no, it's a long relationship
What year was it was that 2012? Okay, it's the coolest part of our job is like meeting people meeting athletes or like anyone and like
Getting real relationships and being like having you on is way better
than interviewing some random actor or something.
It's the best.
I mean, some of those guys.
Like, we love having fun.
I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
I get a little jealous.
Like when I see Blake Bordel's on a lot
and you have Blake of the year and Blake Griffin.
I mean, I do get, I do get.
I'm not a Blake.
I'm not a Blake.
I do get a little jealous.
Like when I feel like you guys are cheating on like some of us originals, we guys, but I'm not gonna Blake. I'm not a Blake. I do get a little jealous. Like when I feel like you guys are cheating on like some of us originals.
Yeah, that's fair.
That's fair.
But I'm not going to make it about you're not going to even talk about it.
But I'm not going to bring it up.
But I just want you to know that I know if you changed your name to Blake, we would have
you on Blake.
That's fair.
That's fair.
I just forgot to answer.
Greg just watching Blake the year just like the Batman meme just sitting in bed like
oh god damn it.
Is it going to like in a win? bed like, God, you got it.
Is that gonna win?
No, asshole, your name's not Blake.
Yeah.
Oh, all right, I have one last question.
It is the rowback question,
rhobac.com, promo code take,
20% off your first purchase, rowback.com,
promo code take joggers, shorts,
QZips, polos, everything everything rowback.com promo code take.
Not a question actually, it's a shout out.
I'm gonna give a shout out.
So I have a guy who helps me with,
that was a great promo read by the way.
Thank you.
That was live for anyone listening,
that was not cut and spliced, that was,
that was a lot of mega markle.
He's standing, it's not a mega markle.
Not a mega mark.
Hank interviews and then they splice your voice in.
Which with the majority of this interview has been.
Correct. You're actually in Utah right now. I'll continue. Sorry. I don't want to interrupt
But that was a great reason shout out. So I have I have a guy
Shout out VP a big cat corp. He helps me sometimes with
Interview prep so he'll like he'll go to the dark recesses. What nothing?
Keep going. I have a I'll have a follow up a good
He goes to the dark recesses of the internet the corners
I don't want to go kind of like how you don't go on Twitter after a game. Yeah, so like for example reddit
I think there's a reddit that probably just bashes part in my take diehard fans
But every reddit turns into people being like fuck these guys. They're not the same. So I don't go there for mental health
Of course, he put he sent me this
So I don't go there for for mental health, but he put he sent me this when you were on two years ago
It was like Greg Olson tremendous interview and then the guy named George Elliott's cock said
Greg is gonna be great in the booth. So shout out George
He called it. Wow. Yeah, he called it. That's like the Brian W Winhurst thing when he keeps calling all the NBA trades in advance and he went viral today on Twitter
and like people who have those memes of him,
like, yeah.
George Elliott, George Elliott,
this is George Elliott.
This is George Elliott calling for him.
Yeah, he's like Greg Olsen,
before you even heard it.
That's pretty impressive.
Why would he be so good on part of my day?
That's big, he is so good on part of my take.
And Fox, maybe he's looking at him.
That's, wow, George Elliott.
George Elliott, shout out to George L.A., it's got,
can we just rewind a couple seconds?
Big cap corp, can you dive into that?
Big cap corp, what is this?
He's great dude, so when I'm
I'm more about big cap corp.
Yeah, there is no big cap.
Is it like a rod corp?
Exactly, God, I know.
Which I know you guys are close.
So I, I incepted my way into becoming part of that.
He accepted his way into becoming part of my life.
And he's actually incredible.
I, he, he helps me with prep.
He goes into these dark corners that I don't want to go in,
fair,
brings back all the information.
And he's like,
Georgia, it's cock called this.
Wow.
I would love to know how he ended up on that reddit page.
Right.
I don't want to go look for Georgia, it's page. I don't want to go look for George Elliott's cock.
No, you don't want to know the dark wormhole he went down that night,
but the product of that research is helpful.
Yes, like bring me George Elliott's cock.
I don't want to find it.
George Elliott's cock.
You bring it to me. I'll take it.
And I don't want to go find it.
I think that's fair.
He's a very valuable reason.
Who's George Elliott?
I don't know.
But apparently his cock is fucking on.
No idea.
No idea.
But yeah, he needs to show his on it.
He called it.
He was your biggest fit.
Wait, maybe he's George Ellie.
It's cock.
Wait a second.
I don't think I would have predicted it was cock.
Yeah, it's short-terfing himself.
George Ellie is cock.
I'm like, doesn't like Kevin Durant
have like a river like a twin.
Oh yeah, doesn't Kevin Durant have a burner? Yeah, I would do that. Is there a
Georgia? Oh
He was a tight-ins coach at the University of Miami in
2002
Weird
George L.A. was a novelist and that was her
Pinnavacy has a game. It was a female and she went by George L.A. Oh, yeah, so that then the cock makes that makes sense. It was it was her name. It was a female and she went by George Elliott.
So then the cock makes sense.
That makes sense.
It was her third leg.
Right, exactly.
I'll tell you what, the person who came up with that name
is a pretty deep thinker because if it was a female
who had a pen name that was male,
this random person is the cock that was the connection
between the male and the male.
And they called you being a great broadcaster. And a great broadcaster, which is obviously
the key to the entire picture.
I want him to look up some more of George L.A.
It's Cox there.
We'll get it all together tonight.
I'll do that tonight, dinner.
Are you guys coming tonight to dinner?
We're gonna stop by.
That means.
We're gonna do the show.
We're gonna do the show.
Yeah, no, it's not me, guys.
I'll interview him.
Travis Kelsey's coming on.
He's familiar with him.
Tell us about her.
Do you think Travis Kelsey runs soft? Do I think he what? Run soft, would you ever say that to his face? No, I with him. Tell us, Scott, or Puffer, move. Do you think Travis Kelsey runs soft?
Do I think he what?
Run soft, would you ever say that to his face?
No, I wouldn't.
Billi, Billi's gonna have to say it to his face.
Why would have?
Because he said behind the back.
Are you who blew your peck out benching?
Who was that?
Billi.
I saved Billi's life on this.
I did strain it.
Yeah, okay.
How are you?
How did that end up? Nas bad is it looked.
Billy's gonna be a real smart.
That was last year, right?
Yeah.
He almost died.
I know you're coming to drills tomorrow,
but I remember watching you get under that straight bar
and I thought you ruptured your pegs.
Oh yeah, when you were there.
When we were promoting to you.
No warm up hopped under there.
Was it 225?
Yeah. It was 185. 185, yeah. If you blew your pick no warm up hopped under there. What was it, 225? Yeah.
It was one 85.
Yeah, yeah.
If you blew your peck out 185, that's bad.
I know, that was really bad.
You do six pushups a day, you're ready for one eight.
Yeah, you're a big guy.
Yeah, good one, bro.
Yeah, so if you want to get out, blow your pecker, you did.
No, I did not.
I think I strained it.
I just rested.
Do you want to tell Blake your take on Travis Kelsey?
No, it's not.
I'm Greg, but that's fine.
Oh, sorry. I think we're trying to so I'm Greg, but that's fine. Oh, sorry.
I think we're trying to lose.
I got it.
It's fine.
You end up talking a lot of shit on podcasts,
and never really have to back it up or see the person.
But why would you be talking about shit about Kelsey?
What is there to talk shit about?
Because I don't think he runs that.
Like he does get crazy yak, but I don't think he doesn't run anyone over.
He's the idea.
He got power bombs. Keep like, he got power bombs.
He got power bombs.
Did you ever get power bombs in a game?
If I, okay, let's back up for a second.
What we have to make sure we're clear on is that the goal of the game is not to see who
can be the most like macho.
I'm going to sacrifice yards to just like prove a point to
Twitter that I'm like the toughest guy in the building. The idea of the game is
to get a lot of yards. Yeah. So if the so if the critique of Kelsey is that he
gets so many yards but I'd rather him get less yards and run more people over
that seems to be a bit bizarre. I think what he does is obviously pretty damn good.
Yeah and I don't know if that's necessarily a fair,
100% so you wouldn't call him so.
I wouldn't.
I just think if he wants to solidify his legacy.
He's gonna call it, so you can ask him,
which is great.
I know, she's gonna be like that.
I know, she's gonna be like that.
I can see in what regard,
like I think that people are gonna hold,
like you think when the Hall of Fame voters,
like I see, yeah.
Travis Kelsey's up for debate.
Anyone have any knocks
He holds every anniversary
No, I didn't run enough people over
17
I just would like to see him do it. I power bomb them. Oh, it's German James
Yeah, yeah, but I mean this I'm not taking Billy's side in this. It's just it's funny that Billy's like it wouldn't all of a sudden done about his legacy
Like you're gonna be the one to define Travis Kelsey's legacy.
No, it's just, it comes up in the him verse,
Gronk debate, like Gronk, the debate that we haven't had.
Just taking over the nation.
This is gonna debate that out there.
Every water cool in America is like,
okay, Gronk or Kelsey.
So who you got?
Oh, in the Gronk verse, Kelsey, I in America is like, okay, grunk or Kelsey. So, who you got? Oh, and the grunk first, Kelsey?
Yeah.
I've said on record, if Kelsey has another even year or two,
like the last seven, in my mind,
he goes down as the best ever.
Okay.
I think he's this close.
And I never in a million years would have thought
anyone would ever catch Gonzalez.
Tony's longevity and production and consistency over 18 years, 17, whatever he played.
I never thought anyone would ever match.
For Kelsey to go seven years in a row at a thousand yards, plus the production and what
he does in the playoffs, which doesn't count towards any of that.
But he sets a record every single year in the postseason,
but that doesn't go towards his stats.
Right.
I don't know how anybody can...
I just never thought anyone we'd see the day
where anyone would challenge Tony for that top spot,
and I think Kelsey's a year or two away from doing it.
Okay.
All right.
I agree with you.
And that's not a knock on Grog.
I think Grog's in that conversation. For long Jeopardy Matters. But I just I think
for for Kelsey to do it this long is pretty impressive. All right. Craig, thank you as
always you're the best man. You guys are awesome. Okay. Mount Rushmore time. Today we
are doing the Mount Rushmore of everyday villains. So these are real people you come across in your everyday life.
It doesn't have to be everyday, but it's someone that you have come across that is just out there being a villain,
that pisses you off, that makes you mad, that you're like the fuck this guy.
So no.
Yeah, fictional villains, which we did a few years ago.
If you're like a group of guys that gets together and do a bunch of cheesy trick shots on videos
on time. Yeah. Or a group of guys who gets together and like, it's way too drunk and then
goes to a darts competition. Those actually aren't the villain. It's the guy who decided not to go
that bales and goes to the beach. Yeah. That's an everyday.
Well, that's actually a person. No, no, doesn't have to be human.
Oh, I'm so excited. Oh, well, let's just wait.. Is that a person? No, no, doesn't have to be human. Oh
Let's just wait let's just see what you got a majority of our list is not human. Okay, all right Let's go how no
All right, all right. I'm excited too
You guys you guys know yeah, well, just won't work. We're gonna help you guys through this and I think
The rule that we made
when we did the Mount Rushmore of Manly Things,
I'm willing, I think that as a crew,
we're willing to give you two shots at your fourth pick.
Yeah, I am.
So you guys can throw two options out.
We'll pick the best one for you.
Okay, that kind of gives you the chance to go rogue.
You know, whatever you wanna to do the dominion voting system
Okay, I don't know
How it's not
People but that's fine. That's fine. Okay. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right
Here's our first pick our first pick is the person who
listens to music or their Instagram stories on super loud in public.
Everyday films.
You use headphones.
The worst.
Yep.
Use headphones.
You're right, Jack.
The worst.
It could be anywhere.
It could be the subway.
You know, walking down the street could be in your office.
Just fucking, I actually think weirdly, Instagram stories might be worse than music because music
at least you can be like, all right, well, I know this song. When it's the like different sounds every 10 seconds,
scrolling, it drives me insane. I hate those people way more than I hate people on a sidewalk
that have a boom box and they're just walking with a portable speaker system.
That's a vibe. If you're on public transportation and it's just come out of your phone.
Yes. It's not even high quality sound. It's bad.
Yes.
Both the official wording.
People who listen to music, slash Instagram stories,
on speaker phone in public.
Say it, Billy.
Well, go ahead.
Big hat. You're very guilty of that.
When did I do that?
Like, when? I mean, I'm sure I have that when when did I do that like When I mean, I'm sure I have but when do I do that?
Like in the studio. Yeah, probably you're right. In studio is not really that's not really public
Yeah, yeah, I don't do it in public, but yeah
I like to say me you're giving me like I do it in studio is not really I mean when we're sitting around and we're all scrolling on our phone
I would yeah, of course course I'm guilty of that but
Billy's looking around for everyone to be like yes, but I
That's not really I'm a locked back. Well, no, it's fine. I listen hand up. I do do it not in public
But I will do it in the privacy of my home or when we're sitting in the studio getting ready and I'm you know
I will also play videos on my computer when I'm,
we're prepping for the show. That's guilty.
Guilty.
I'm not really bothered by it and that's inspiration.
No, not at all. Okay.
Trust me. No.
Okay. I'm very excited about your guys.
Why don't you go first? Are you going human or not?
Human, human.
Okay. Human.
Human.
No one specifically, but your boss your boss
So you're coming at me
You know
I'm Jake and Billy's I did do it. I'll just like in general. You're like ah I'm not actually Jake and Billy's boss
I think you are a James boss. I think I'm Billy's boss. Well, no, I filled out I had to do a performance review for
Billion Jake last year and I submitted
I think I submitted
Jake's and like very nice great kid whatever
Thux it around us more sounds sucks about rush more and then it said I submitted it was like
This submission has gone to all parties
and it was like, it listed like Jake, Erica, this.
So then when his billy's, I just trashed him
and I was like, it's going right to Billy.
This is great.
But I fall it upside.
I fall it up with Erica.
I was like, that was a joke when I hope Billy gets upset.
And I backed you up.
I don't actually remember seeing that.
Okay, so it didn't work.
So they duped me.
Okay, your boss.
Just like in January.
Right.
Like cubicle, like a boss.
A boss.
Yeah, a boss man.
Okay.
We are gonna go with the people that are disrespectful
to people in the service industry.
Yeah.
Yeah, pick, pick, pick.
Oh, there, yeah.
You're in public, there, you churping the person out.
The register, you're in a restaurant or wherever you are.
That's not, you know, you're taking out your problems
on people that don't deserve it.
Yeah, sending back food like multiple times.
Yeah.
And then we will go with the person that walks
too slow in front of you.
That's another good pick.
The great pick.
Good picks, guys.
Happens a lot in New York, which works.
What about, yeah, for you know, late night
on the road with the women?
With the women?
What?
With the multiple, what are you two?
Oh, you run fast, live in whisper.
On your right.
No, no, you listen to that.
Like, you're not stalking them,
or are you going to the other side of the screen?
Was that a no rush war pick? It might have been, yeah. I think we've just got to discuss it about, like,'re not stalking them, or are you going to the other side of the street? I don't know. I'm a rush warfare guy.
It might have been, yeah.
I think we just got to discuss it about, like,
avoiding women who made it out.
Which just makes it so much awkward, more awkward.
Yeah, I've been there, we're like,
hey, just so you know I'm not following you.
Yeah, I just cross the street.
Yeah, you can cross the street.
Yeah, or sometimes you cross the street
and someone's, I mean, we're across the street
then someone's on that side.
I think you're crossing for them.
It's like, nope, they're not crossed that way. I just you're crossing for them. It's like, nope. Then cross that way.
I just slightly get up on their left
and I hand them a can of mace.
And I'm like, you're gonna want it this,
and I keep on.
Just run down the center of the road.
Yeah.
You know what a good move is on an elevator?
If it's like late at night in your apartment building
or a hotel, as a guy, you want to let the woman
out of the hotel or out of the The elevator first
Cage you want to let that you want you want to let them out of the elevator first as a gentleman
But it's actually way better if you don't know the person you get out first. Yeah, that way they don't think that you're following
Yeah, yeah, facts. Okay. Good picks. Thank you Jake Billy. We going human going human or not? Not human. Gotta go not human.
I just thought of two on the fly.
I'm gonna see if Billy the head even think of the
other thing yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you can I'll read mine on our honorable mentions the
non human ones they don't get picked all right pft all right for our six is no brainer
with none of mine yeah we have to yeah yeah yeah yeah whatever you want for the next one
yeah all right why don't you surprise me I'll go six and you surprise me.
Trust.
This is our second pick overall.
Yeah, I'll go second pick and then you go
with whatever you surprise me.
Big trust.
Okay.
All right, our next pick is going to be
aggressive bicyclists.
So, you know, they think that there are cars
going through red lights, especially in New York City
when you like step on the curb
and they're just fucking aggressive bicyclists
are everyday villains.
It's bullshit that they use the work cars
and also we can go through red lights.
That's absolutely bullshit.
They are, yeah.
They cut you off, they yell at you.
Yeah.
The everyday villains all the time.
Same vein, those like electric scooter people
who ride on the sidewalks.
I almost got nailed twice by those guys,
and I just go,
I'm like, it's a day of time.
It's just, you just sit there like,
God damn it.
No, I yelled them and they freaking zoom away,
cause they know they can, they can, they can, they can.
On the other side of that is the electric motorcycle
bicycle thing.
Yeah.
That rides in the bike lane and then cuts the bicyclists off. Yeah. They're like the car, they're the car version of that. Yeah. That rides in the bike lane and then cuts the bicyclists off.
Yeah.
They're like the car, they're the car version of that.
Yeah.
Or the, or even the new, new age bikes that ride in the car lane.
Yeah.
And they go slow.
And they're like, I'm a car like, like, like, yeah.
Whatever one step below a mopette is, those are the worst.
Okay.
All right.
Big trust.
Big trust.
For a next one, we're going to go with
doorstop package thieves.
Yes.
People that they follow the Amazon truck around,
then they come up on your doorstep and they steal your package.
That's as a new homeowner myself,
they are the bane of my existence.
They're everywhere.
There are ultimate villains that never get caught.
Yep. And they know they probably hate themselves for doing it too. Yeah.
You can't delude yourself into thinking that that's cool what they're doing and
they still do it. Yeah. The best is I mean if they ever stole from me it's just
they're probably stealing diapers so fuck you. Yeah. Well what they do is they
slice into it and then they get around the corner and they're like oh these are
a bunch of novelty ironic signs that somebody was gonna hang up at their house
and they don't want it so they throw into the bushes.
Oh, I don't want jankos.
Yeah.
Get this out of here.
Yeah, no, that's, that's, I have the last laugh
on the door, stop packaging.
I never would or anything that they would want.
All right, you guys have a pick.
We're gonna go with a, so this is a, this is a little controversial.
Cop on a power trip.
Okay.
All right, okay.
Put the turtles down, pull over.
What are you doing here?
Yeah.
You know?
I back the boys and blue.
Yeah, I respect that.
I respect our hard.
Yeah.
But they're alive in the line every day for us.
Yeah, but back the blue.
Back the blue, but.
Yeah, so they're not villains to me. But yeah, I have. No, but some back the blue, except what it happens to you. Yeah, but back to blue. Back to blue, but yeah, so they're not villains to me.
But yeah, no, back to blue, except when it happens to you. Yeah, yeah, but it's like when you're
trying to rob turtles and sell them on the black market. Yeah, like when it cops like, hey,
hey, son, where are you doing all this cocaine? You're like officer, why are you on this power trip?
Yeah, bro, why are you trying to fuck me up right now? This is bullshit. All right, you have your last two picks.
We do have our last two picks.
We are going to go with the person that drives up your ass.
So, I like the reverse of the person that walks
who slow tailgating, tailgating, yeah, tailgate driver.
You're not in that much of a hurry.
I never understood road riding.
It's not that serious.
Some people get road rage so bad
that they just want to fight you
because they don't like,
they don't like what your car looks like.
I never understood road rage,
but God damn it to I love watching the road rage videos.
Oh yeah.
It is the best.
I saw you guys see the chick the other day
who like power bombed the front windshield.
Yeah, she stomped through it.
Yep.
She had a power lifter too. Yeah. She just stomped on it. Yep. She had a power lifter too.
Yeah.
She just stomped on it.
And she's like, she's on anadryl.
Yeah.
Or like, anytime there's a road rage
and like, one guy's clueless in the wrong
and he tries to fight and he's just knocked out.
And you're like, yes.
Or like, one guy runs out of the bat
and then the other guy pops out with a gun
and then the other guy just tucks his tail
and like runs back to the ball.
I was in an Uber the other day
and we were just stopped at a light for like 10, 15 minutes
and me and the person I was with was like,
oh, is there another route you could take?
He's like, no.
And then he started to get mad that it was taking so long
and he just completely took matters into his own hand
and split a two car street.
And in a way that physically seemed impossible.
He just split the difference
and then was speeding up doing like fast and furious shit
and then we got on the highway and it was like,
we didn't ask for that.
But I thought I was gonna die.
Yeah.
Okay, good picks.
You guys have your last pick?
Our last pick, we are going,
our last pick we're gonna go with
the person who has loud phone conversations in public.
Ooh, okay.
On the train in an airport, wherever you are,
if they're yelling their business over the phone,
it's the worst.
I always appreciate though,
when they're looking at a phone while they do it,
sometimes people have the Bluetooth,
they have the earbuds in,
and they're just having a conversation,
you have no idea what's going on,
you're like, are they talking themselves?
Are they mad at me?
Like at least pretend to look at your phone.
So I know that's what the conversation is.
Yes, and it's, whoa, what was that big guy?
Were you playing a video loud?
Yeah, yeah, it was.
Yeah.
Yeah, clicked on a photo.
It started playing.
Classic big guy.
I didn't expect it to go.
You know, photos, having sounders always
will fuck me up.
Wide photos, you hit it and you're just like,
what the fuck? I's try to hard it
Got you happens happens
Okay, you guys have your last pick
Going rogue politicians
Okay, yeah good. Okay, why do they want all that power?
Gonna pick can you name?
I can play some that one specifically Nancy Pelosi
Joe Biden.
AOC.
He doesn't know what he's doing.
It's everyday politicians.
RFK Jr.
Alphabet boys.
What did you think about RFK Jr.?
He's just jacked.
Who are the alphabet boys?
I was like, you just you hate you hate government.
Yeah, the government you hate all authority.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Your boss, auditions, cops.
Yeah.
People that you, people that might have an issue with the thought.
Yeah.
People that you have to lie to your friends, you get in trouble.
This is documented.
Yes.
Okay, PFT, we have one last one.
I think we got to go, I think we go with the last one on the list. Oh
Okay
All right, unless you think otherwise. No, you're not numbers. That's a good fourth. That's good fourth pick. What? Yes, you're not go at number six
I think we already picked numbers. We did pick number six. Yeah, maybe four
Okay, fine. You want us to go for? Yeah, go for. I mean, this is great because you guys are just driving our
Mount Rushworks so deep. You guys are actually, it works.
They're way better at our Mount Rushmore than they are at
their Mount Rushmore. Yeah, seriously. The fourth pick is a
person who uses constant business lingo, circle back, put a
pin in this, let what's the net net, all that stuff. Let's
table that.
Yeah, just like, hey, can we hop on a quick call?
Nothing worse than a text.
Can we hop on a quick call?
Just text me, just text me.
Those are the people that don't treat other people
like people because they're so corporate-lingo.
Right, right.
Like, talk to me like a person, dude.
Right, exactly.
Hey, Hank, we've been out of the business world for a while.
Can you upload us on some new business terms?
Yeah.
Circlebacks, a big one, checking in.
Same page.
Oh, there's nothing worse than the email being like,
checking in, it's so passive aggressive.
Being like, you haven't responded.
Oh, what about, what about, what about,
God.
PURM I LAST EMAFORMING UP HERE.
Falling up, no, no, no, God, that's the job.
Yeah, I mean, are you in hell every day?
Yeah, I mean, it's been nice being out of the office.
I'll say that.
Yo, yo, invention idea, an AI bot that translates
other people's lingo into your dialect.
Yeah.
How would that work?
What would circle back be?
Circle back be like, you'll remember?
Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. How would that work? What would circle back be circle back be like you'll remember
You'll remember that group to do this is a blog
Yeah, please do that. I'll make all the translations Billy is the AI robot
Okay, what do we miss? So the one that we were gonna pick was a guy who coaches Duke Blue Devils for 40 years and then mysteriously has a back injury
when his team's bad everyday villain.
Everyone hates that guy.
Yeah.
We all know that guy, right?
But we didn't pick it because we let Jake pick our last one.
That's good.
You were awesome.
A lot of me are putting you straight up villain.
Yeah, yep, yep.
Person who aggressively hits on members of the opposite sex
in front of you and makes everybody comfortable.
Big time.
Guy who doesn't pick up after their dog,
that's everyday villain anytime you step in dog shit.
Here's one that might be a little controversial,
but I'll just say it.
Uber driver, the talk's too much.
Like way too much of a conversation, you know.
Just trying to do that job.
I know, but there's definitely like,
pleasantries are great, but like doing like a full conversation,
especially when you're like not in the mood to converse.
Yeah, they gotta read the room.
If you're giving them one word to answer.
Yeah.
It's basically the read the room,
because there are sometimes when you have a cool Uber driver,
it's like, I want to know a story like having a good conversation,
but there's definitely sometimes like,
specifically like when we take early flights.
Like if I'm in an Uber at 6.30 in the morning,
I don't wanna have a conversation.
I had a great conversation my way back
from the airport the other week, which I appreciated.
But about six months ago, I had a doozy of an Uber driver
who I got into his car and he immediately starts
playing me his CD of music that he made.
And it was a combination.
Every song was a different genre.
So it was like, this is my country song.
And then he's like, this is my hip hop song
that I'm trying out.
And I was just like, dude, I don't know what you,
basically you have me hostage at this point.
And I was like, so yeah, you should put these
like on Spotify or whatever.
He's like, yeah, I was thinking about getting
the music industry, but I flew out to LA
and this dude was supposed to manage me.
And he brought me to his hotel room and just tried to fuck me.
It was a worse overdrive of my entire, I don't think he'd be top.
I don't think he'd be top.
I would've heard like, I'd story it.
If you have a great story, I'm down.
That's not a great story though.
What happened to your two B-man?
You're trying to fuck you in a hotel room in LA?
Well, he very clearly misread the tea leaves.
Some guy picked him up online and he was like, oh, this guy's gonna help my
budding musical career, and then just try to fuck him.
We should find this guy.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
That's why.
But his music was so bad.
All I wanted was for one song to be like,
halfway decent where I could pretend to really enjoy it.
It was the worst.
I had an uber driver once who told me just completely unannounced was like
Hey, do you eat yellow cheese? I was like yeah, why he's like don't eat yellow cheese only white cheese
And it's something that I've thought about probably once a week every day if you got a week for like the last three years
Uber black you can yeah, yeah, I do that conversation
Cool extra cool no conversation. Yeah, but yeah, don't eat yellow cheese. That's what he told me.
Sounds like it's sort of, yeah.
What's the artificial dye?
Right, so white cheese only.
Yeah.
I think about it way too often.
It has real state in my brain.
I think it's like yellow five.
Every time I go to eat yellow cheese,
I remember that fucking Uber driver
coming from LaGuardia.
So, only white cheese.
The person who never pays for anything.
Big time.
That's a villain. The person who's like, oh, you only $ cheese. The person who never pays for anything. Big time. That's a villain.
The person who's like,
oh, you only $7.64.
It doesn't need to be penny for penny.
Just like, yeah.
So they start itemizing appetizers?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Similar to that,
the person who, if your work offers free dinner
on Sunday nights who texts at like 10 a.m.
being like, what's for dinner, bros?
And then somebody replies, hey,
maybe let's get this burrito place close to the office
and they're like, can we do Chipotle instead?
And it's only because they get the points for Chipotle
when they order it.
So they're trying to control everybody else's dinner
based on them getting their free Chipotle points.
That guy, everyday villain.
All right, how many of you've gotten food poisoning
from that place that we always like the no zero
You've had to leave recordings to go shit yourself. That's not because but it's every time we order from that one place that isn't
Poe right and and the point manly traits having you get the point to make it easy for everybody
No, it's easy for you. No, it's so much easier order
You know it's so much easier. What are you saying for everybody to share the order?
No, yeah, I'm gonna hand up.
I'll take that.
Also, there's a little meme about when the Chipotle hits.
Yeah, people shift themselves from Chipotle all the time.
That's true.
Yeah, but it's not like sickness.
That's just like natural.
Yeah, that's just some people are lactose intolerant.
Chipotle just do its work.
Uh, I also, we also had anyone at the DMV. That's just I mean I don't even blame them
They're just they're there to just be villains and then
PFT had homo association. That's a great one hate homo association. Yeah, you buy a house
They're like you can't paint your door that color. There's never been a president of a homo
Homo owners association that isn't on a power trip. Yep. It's just in the line of work that they do.
You need to cut your grass.
Oh, yeah, you should've done it.
Yeah, none.
All right, none humans, let's go.
Traffic.
Traffic, yeah.
That's a good pick.
That's a great pick.
But like, you should've picked that one.
Yeah, you should've picked that one.
Traffic is an awesome thing.
I'm not mad.
But it's like, villain, like.
Yeah, no, that's a great pick. We're telling you it's an awesome thing. Next go. It's like villain like.
Yeah, no, that's great pick.
We're telling you it's a good pick.
Yeah, it was number one on my list.
What else?
What'd you guys pick one?
Your boss.
You could swap it.
No, no.
Okay, all right, what's what?
Allergies.
Allergies.
It's a thing.
It's an every dead villain.
Yeah. Low-foam battery. villain. Yeah, low phone battery.
Okay, yeah, yeah, dirty dishes.
Okay, you know, for low phone battery,
I would say an iPhone charger cable
that's on the Fritz, but it's not totally dead yet.
We should never know if you're plugging in,
if you're gonna get that charge,
and you start to do the thing where you unplug,
re-plug, open the catch it, hate that.
We should just do about rush more things that piss you off.
I think we've done that, yeah.
That peeps.
We also had spam phone callers.
Oh yeah.
They're back, right?
Usually, is it from your guys hometown area code?
Yeah, they spoof a number that's very close
to what your phone number is.
Yeah, so, yeah, we went rogue for three quarters of this.
You should have gone trafic all honor
that might be your best pick the mountain rock should we let him have traffic no I
don't want it I'm not I think you get to trade traffic for one what you can
take one out can't be cops have to keep cops in you decide what do you want to
swap on a power trip what which one do you want to swap?
Go ahead.
All cops against Billy, A-Cab.
I don't know.
I don't want to play about the rules.
No, I don't want this like Jake, it's not.
We're telling you it's fine.
You want to swap one out?
Read your picks.
Your boss?
People who get up in the aisle right when the plane lands.
That's a good pick.
On a cop on a power trip and politicians.
I love our mountain mode.
Okay, I got traffic.
