on DraftKings. Today is Monday, July 8th and the boys are back in town.
We're back in town. I think we, I think we picked a decent week to take the vacation
because the one thing that you have to always be on the lookout for the week of the 4th of
July is the, the Friday afternoon news dump
Yeah, and we didn't even get really one of those. No, it was like Biden might not run for president
I did I don't I don't want to get political but I did that tweet. I don't know if you guys saw I quote treated the other day
Someone was like it's telling that all these people who love politics have just never been through a coach being fired before and
It was the most apt analogy ever because it is we're we are these people who love politics have just never been through a coach being fired before. And
it was the most apt analogy ever because it is we are one of the things that I think we
do better than anyone is we can tell you when a coach is on the hot seat when he gets that
sad look at the podium and they are literally doing the like, like he's going to give up
the offensive play calling just so he can coach the whole team. Well, pretty much what's
going on is the DNC is saying Joe Biden is our candidate.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We have a full vote of confidence in Joe Biden, right?
So they're just, you know, doing all the moves.
Everything's going to be fine.
But we are back.
It feels good to be back.
What do you guys want to talk about?
You guys want to talk about Brawny?
So we can talk about Brawny.
You want to do that right off the bat?
Let's fucking talk about Brawny. The dude, i don't know if you saw but brawny biggest four points in
nba history dude he hit uh a layup in transition holy shit yeah and and lebron watchin said damn
that's tough this is great i hope there's i hope there's some bangles fans that are tuning in for
the first time and like what is this it's about about Brawny. Yeah, I guess about Brawny. We're just a Brawny
James and Charlie Woods podcast. Can I say something about Brawny? I really don't like
the fact that he's going by Brawny. Why not? His name's LeBron James Jr. Just go LeBron
James Jr. I don't like calling like it's even in the box score. Yeah. James. Yeah. I don't
like that. I agree with the name is LeBron James Jr. I wasn't sure where you're going
until he told me the box score thing.
Yeah, that's weird. It's annoying. It should just be just go by junior and also it would be cool
If he ever got in a game and it was L James and L James, Jr
Right next to each other remember when he wouldn't he said he wouldn't wear his dad's number cuz he doesn't want people to know
Who he is? Yeah
Now he's just they're doing so that's probably why he doesn't want people to maybe he'll think that he's not
Yeah on James, Jr. Because his name's brawny not look doing. So that's probably why he doesn't want people to, maybe he'll, they'll think that he's not LeBron James Jr.
Cause his name's Bronnie, not LeBron.
He's there now they're just literally doing 69.
Now he's a guy that would just go out there and you'd be like,
why is that guy on the team? Is he like LeBron James Sun or something?
Yeah. No, that's Bronnie. Just go, it's Bronnie. Yeah. Yeah. It's couldn't,
can't be as they should do the Brazilian method and just go, uh, LeBron Nino.
Ooh, I like that. Yeah. I. I got to take about Bronnie.
I actually kind of am addicted to how
mad Bronnie's making everyone.
Well, because it's like the updates on ESPN
are like Bronnie has a transition layup.
Bronnie has an assist.
Watch Lebron James Jr. Oh, it's not.
Watch Bronnie.
Watch Lebron react to Bronnie's two points.
Yeah, it's an ecosystem.
And everyone's getting so mad. it's very funny because I like this is how I consume
sports like I also was like this is ridiculous by LeBron.
It's a very egotistical play.
Yeah, it's cool.
They're playing together.
And then as soon as everyone got very upset, I was like, actually, I kind of like this
because it's a fucking NBA summer league and they know what they're doing.
How do they do all star voting?
Is there a fan vote?
Yeah.
So what we should do next year is just, we should try to get, try to get Bronnie into
the all star game.
Yeah.
People getting mad about his contract.
Yeah.
That's great.
Well, full guaranteed.
Well, that was a big time ball knowers and I did not know ball until I looked it up,
but that is also part of the new CBA.
So the new CBA has different contracts
for second round guys.
Tyler Kolick, who is a Nick, went to Marquette,
also very funny when Josh Hart just-
Celtic.
What?
Tyler Kolick.
From Marquette.
Oh, right.
Marquette, New York.
Who'd you think?
He was thinking Sam Houser.
Not everything's about you, Hank. The other white guy, yeah. Who'd you think? He was thinking Sam Howser. You're not everything's about you hang the other white guy. Yeah, that was, that was crazy. We talking, we talking Celtics.
Are you thinking of Bailey Charmin? Yep. Yep. Yeah. Just another big East guy. White big
East guy. Yeah. Completely different player. Okay. Uh, anyway, Tyler Colick, uh, there
was like a fake, uh, uh, Twitter troll started a rumor that Tyler Cole couldn't read. This happened last year
during during Big East play and Josh Hart on his podcast with Jalen Brunson was like,
can he read like I legit was like, I don't know if he can read or not.
Yeah. So every time somebody gets ball sacked out there, there's always like 5% of people
that never realized that it was a joke. Right, they just keep going around with it.
Right, so anyway, Tyler Kolick did break the record for I think most money for his second
round pick.
So he got, what was his exact contract?
He had guaranteed money of 6.6 million.
So Bronnie probably didn't deserve a non-two-way contract, but the new CBA does have very different
contracts for second round picks.
So people were like, this guy five years ago got paid for blueberries and Brawny gets 7.9
million.
That is partially the new CBA.
I do.
I don't hate maybe I will become a Brawny Stan.
I don't know.
I think that maybe LeBron pulled this move just so he can write $2 million out of his son's inheritance.
Yes.
He's like, that's just $2 million less than I,
you're getting this upfront.
Yeah.
Well, there was the, LeBron took $3 million less
than the actual max he could have had.
He did do that.
And everyone was like, oh, he was just stashing away
for Bronnie.
But I also think that in his new contract,
if he gets traded, he gets like an extra kicker that goes in.
He does have a no trade clause, but he can accept a trade,
and then I think he would make $3 million.
Yeah.
He said he'd take less.
He then took the max, or $3 million less than the max.
Bronze sexuals are saying, well, he
said he'd take less for the right free agent, which then
boxes them in the corner. No free agent in the right mind wants to go to whatever this iteration of
the Lakers are going to be.
Yeah, Demar DeRozan didn't.
Yeah, he was a sign and trade.
Yeah, he was a sign and trade, but he was probably the last good player that was out
there.
Yeah, well, yeah, he wanted Klay, Valen Chunis, and they got nothing. Yeah, Demar de Rosen is now a Sacramento King
and the Bulls yet again mistimed an asset,
but they're kind of on the right direction
of trying to be bad.
Well, Demar de Rosen, he wanted to leave the Bulls
after the Josh Giddy trade,
after Caruso for Giddy trade,
somewhat similar to our rule that we have
in our Dingers Only League,
where he is like, I'm allowed to exit this team.
I must say that it's, the NBA did investigate. I don't want to defend Josh Giddy, where he is like, I'm allowed to exit this team. I must say that it's the NBA did investigate.
I don't want to defend Josh Giddy, but he's a bull now.
They didn't find anything.
When Big Cat told me that he jumped on just
to talk about the Josh Giddy trade,
the only thing I could think of was Caruso for Giddy
is a real life version of pervert or Italian.
Oh, man.
And I love Alex Caruso.
But yeah, the Bulls, DeMar DeRozan is gone.
They're trying. They're trying to blow it up. They mistimed everything.
I saw a crazy DeMar DeRozan stat and I didn't verify it.
I didn't look it up to see if it's true. Those are the best stats.
I think he's scored almost as many points as Steph Curry.
Um, okay. In his entire career. Let's find out. Let's find out. All right.
I saw that. I was like, Whoa, is that stat real? I'll just talk to the boys. Okay. He has yes 23,500
He's played longer and he's played a lot a lot of games
And he was the number one option on not yeah, he's scored. He is scored
150 less than Steph Curry. That's pretty cool. That is pretty cool and he's done it the hard way.
Yeah.
With twos, not threes.
Yep, that's right.
The showboating Steph Curry.
Old fashioned.
Or you could say Steph Curry's probably
insanely more efficient.
No, I would just say DeMar DeRozan
is the working man Steph Curry.
Yeah, but yeah, the Bulls are gonna blow it up
for the next year until the Reinsdorf's are like,
hey, let's win 40 games again.
That'd be nice.
And they'll go back to that.
We also had in NBA news Kevin Durant, who got hurt, I guess, during Olympic scrimmage.
Also shout out Anthony Edwards, who said the team has to, everyone has to do it around
him.
Yep.
It's not a fit in.
They have to fit in with me, not the other way around.
USA runs through him.
I like that.
He's just a bulldog.
But Kevin Durant did a sit down article with Yahoo Sports and was essentially like, everyone
just smashes the Kevin Durant could be traded button for clicks.
We should get that button.
Yeah, I mean, listen, that definitely happens.
Kevin Durant is someone who's very online.
You of all people should know that happens.
But also you have been on a good amount of teams in the last few years.
He's been on four teams, right?
Yeah.
And he's, well, he's been on four teams and he's been on what?
Three teams in the last four or five years.
Yeah.
So, but yeah, he said, yes, it's a button.
What else is going to get people going around this times?
Oh, the journeyman is leaving again.
That story is always gonna hit.
I did, now I did hear that Kevin Durant was unhappy
and wanted to be traded.
Yes.
And so I think that if you're Kevin Durant
and you're on those sons, you wanna leave, right?
Tune into Wednesday's Pardon My Take
where we actually will have the inside scoop
on Kevin Durant's possibly being traded.
I hear he's unhappy. People are gonna think we have him on the show. We do notant's possibly being traded. I hear he's unhappy
People gonna think we have him on the show. We have him on the show. I think that's I think that ship has sailed Yeah, LeBron would want to be traded to the Sun's
Well, he wants he wants all the Sun. Yeah, he wants them all and he what he wanted
That was the one team that Bronnie was allowed to go to oh really? Yeah
It was the sons of the lake would they have to change the spelling of the name?
I don't know, but he he ended up on the Lakers.
It's crazy.
Yeah, I... what other...
We've got All-Star Game Snubs.
Yes.
Now, if I'm a baseball player and I get snubbed for the All-Star Game, I'm secretly excited
about it.
Because at least you get to go have like three days where you don't have to work.
Yeah, although it's probably pretty cool.
I mean, it's such a...
I always think with the All-Star Game and baseball, it's a short enough time that you'd probably just rather be in the all star game because it is three days. You
know if it was a full week I'd be like yes it's not me every time. We have a problem
because Christian Jelic might be returning to form and he is in the all star game which
makes me very nervous that he's going to potentially compete in the home run derby.
And he's got an axe to grind no one drafted him. And where is the All-Star game this year?
I know, but I'm asking Max because he loves baseball.
I was about to say it, so yeah, I'll just let Max say it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You were, and I know you were about to say it, Hank.
Obviously.
Yeah.
Boston?
It is not Boston.
Come on.
It is in, Max can't even Google it.
Max, I thought you knew it. You don't know where it is, Max?
This is embarrassing, dude.
No, I know.
Everything's bigger there.
It's...
Oh, it's in Texas.
Yep.
Globe Life? Is it in Globe Life?
Yep.
Okay.
Okay.
We'll have to look and see how that does for lefties.
Yeah. Listen, he's hit what, three home runs in the last couple games?
Yeah.
So, it's just, it's a small sample size.
Well, he might have taken it personally that he wasn't drafted in Dingers only you can suck my ass
Yeah, we might have to tune in tune in soon. Uh
We'll have to stream that that will be
Quite some streaming eating each other's asses. No watching Christian yellow
It's potentially making us do a stream where we eat each other's asses. Yeah, this is gonna
I'm calm. I was'm confident. He was washed.
He still is washed. I liked, I liked Christian yellow. It's a lot. He's a friend of the program,
been a friend of the program for a long time, but dude, don't do it. You're going to get
hurt again. Your back's going to hurt. Oh, is Pete Alonzo going to be in it? Pete Alonzo
with the home run Derby is the worst. It's the most, He is the biggest loser in sports when the Home Run Derby comes around.
It's one of my all-time meatball sports brain takes that when Pete Alonso gets talked about
potentially for being on the Cubs, I'm like, I don't want him. He cares too much about the Home Run Derby.
He gets laser focused. He meditates backstage. He goes into a little panic room by himself in
between rounds and just focuses and visualize home runs
That's in the home run derby isn't even that fun anymore. No, they're changed it. Did they have fun?
They made it fun. They refund it. Are they doing what are they doing? They are doing I think it's swings now
Right, or it's no, it's the same way
Initially, I think it's still like two and a half minutes, but then head to head either
but then they get five I think it's four extra outs after they do the
We need okay. We got to look it up. We got a little bit sure that's I'm pretty sure that look it up
Oh my derby rules. I'm pretty homerun derby used to be like the best night of the summer. Yeah, it was so awesome
I loved watching the homerun derby the old rules made it so... The problem with a new Home Run Derby is you don't get to appreciate
each dinger because the next dinger is already hit while the last dinger is in the air. Then
you have to watch the score bug to see if the last dinger went out or not. Yeah. All
right. They didn't really change it. I disagree with my own statement. It's still three...
It's still three minutes. Yeah, I don't
like that. I'm pretty sure they get additional outs though. Yeah, but who cares about additional
Yeah, that's not our problem. We want I wanted to go back to I want to go back to 10 outs
and guys taking balls over and over and what the 10th the 10th ball is worth to. Yeah,
you could just sit there and just marinate in it. Watch the dingers fly. Not Oh, who
can hit the most dingers?
That, oh, this one lands before the next one,
or this one doesn't land before the next one's even hit.
Josh Hamilton, Bobby Abreu.
There are no, they did change,
it's not head to head until the semifinals,
which I do like that. Okay, that's better.
That's a little bit better.
So it'll just be the top four.
Three minute round, 40 pitches, one time out,
three bonus outs. Yeah, the bonus outs don't do anything.
Now was it three minutes with 40 pitches last year? Or was it just three minutes or two
minutes or whatever?
Oh yeah, you might be right. You might be right.
Cause that's, I think that's better.
That's some good podcasting. I feel like we're getting back in, it's like training camp for
us. We took one week off. I know personally I spent an
entire week just saying put your shoes on and then watching Paw Patrol. So my brain
is mush. I haven't talked to like adults for like a real meaningful conversation in a while.
But yeah I feel like in your sick PFT. I'm sick. I also spent the last week just negotiating
with street vendors. Oh my friend. Best press my friend. Yeah. In Greece. I love sick. I also spent the last week just negotiating with street vendors. Oh my friend best press my friend
Yeah, in Greece. I love Greece. They don't pay taxes Greece. They don't know that's why their whole economy
The tax is in Greece and this is this could be I paid a lot of taxes while I was this could be totally made
Up, but as far as I know and this is based on a Twitter thread
I read a few years ago in Greece taxes are optional and then their
economy just crumbles every like 10, 15 years. They're like, hey, we should probably start
paying taxes.
Their soccer, their club soccer teams should be a lot better than if you don't have to
pay taxes. That's how, that's how you get all the good players.
I think they might charge foreigners taxes, but the actual Grekians, they don't, they
just, it's a, it's kind of like a leave a tip or not.
Yeah.
They're like, oh, should I do my taxes?
No, I'm not going to do it this year.
I love Greece.
It was a great place, but I just kept thinking about Stavi when I was over there.
Yeah.
Also shout out Stavi, gave me a great recommendation to go get a Euro in Athens.
And I showed up and I was 10 minutes late and it closed.
Oh no.
So I'm very bummed out about that.
How do they close the Euro shops in Athens?
Well, let me tell you a little story
about how Greece works.
Nothing opens until like 11 a.m.
because everyone stays out until like 2.30 a.m.
And then they open for lunch for like two and a half hours
and then they don't open again until like seven or eight p.m.
I also had a guy tell me, yeah,
you'll make it there by about seven in the afternoon.
That was weird.
Yeah, that is weird. All right. I looked I just I just googled it. Yes
Currently more than half of Greek households are exempt from any personal income tax
Okay, that rock feels like a lot and it you can also yeah
How do you get on the bad 50%? I don't know. I'm gonna make a lot of money probably I
Think it's a cultural thing
Just like earn your stripes. You will is I don't know if it's a time and I think it's a cultural thing. Just like earn your stripes.
Well, I don't know if it's cultural or not.
I think it's just...
Seniority?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I think it's a cultural thing because I just...
This is a very funny headline.
Did Greeks fail to pay 89.5% of taxes?
They're just like, that's actually genius.
If they say, what if we just all didn't pay taxes?
They can't audit everybody.
Right.
That's I think it's cultural. Yeah, that's good. Yeah. All right. Stick
it to the man. Yeah. Yeah. They just a lot of them just they do it as optional. I think
we should probably take that. Yep. Uh, where were we? Oh, I'll be all for years from the
front. Great tangent. Great. Great. MLB all star game. All star game. Yeah. That's it
always happens when we talk about like non football sports. Well, it is in this week. But time stamp this as baseball talk in this
week of sports. It's always like the All-Star snubs, which the reason I wouldn't mind being
an All-Star stub is because they would say you get your own day where people are just
mad and they're lobbying on your behalf. So you have that shine. It's like an afternoon
and you also get it. You have to be the number one snub.
I know that the Mets fans are mad
because Nemo and Lindor, my guy Christian Walker,
Dinger's only legend.
He went back to back nights
hitting two home runs both nights.
He got snubbed.
Christopher Sanchez.
Jordan Westberg, shout out the O's.
Who got snubbed there?
Max?
Christopher Sanchez.
Even though the entire NL pitching is the Phillies pitching.
Someone asked me to ask you, Max, have the Phillies won a series against the Braves this
year?
They've played twice.
They lost two series.
They're playing tonight.
Were they going to win tonight?
I want you to ask that person the last time the Braves beat the Phillies in a playoff
series.
Okay, I will. Also, since we're talking baseball, how did the, how did the team pug end up?
We got slaughter ruled in the playoffs. We only had a lot of our team was traveling for
the 4th of July. So we had to scrape. But everyone who was in town went, right? Everyone
except for Max Max went to 12 baseball games last week. Couldn't miss the game on Tuesday
because he had to go on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday.
Max is doing load management.
I went Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday.
And our team got slaughter ruled.
Well Hank didn't even show up to the start of the game.
I started the game.
Oh no, Matt.
Where were you?
You let the boys down.
I told the boys I wasn't gonna be there.
You gave them a notice that you were gonna let them down?
I think Garrett Stubbs recognized me oh yeah already I think I
think we mentioned yeah cut this wait what we didn't talk about this I think
we did Max Max Gilded said let's go no no this is something different he oh
right that's what we talked about yeah this is different Max had got a wink so
we're on the dugout.
Okay, nice.
So we're on show number two in a row
of Max screaming at Phillies and maybe they recognize him.
No, I didn't even scream at him this time.
It's did he or did he not,
did they or did they not recognize Max?
I honestly don't know.
This is now two shows in a row.
Because he looked at me, gave me a nod, winked,
and then he started going like this and saying drive the boat
or like are you driving the boat and I was like what I couldn't picture what that meant
boat. Yes. He thought you were Hank. Yeah. I think he thought I was Hank. Yeah. Oh he
thought duck boat or maybe the duck or yeah. I thought yeah. Or maybe maybe he was referencing
the story of the of the beer Olympics. Ah got it. I don't I don't know. or maybe he was reference real story of the of the beer Olympics
Got it. I don't I don't know. I think he was saying to be a real shame if you crashed your boat
Yeah, maybe it was not you. Yeah. Yeah, which is not me. So the Phillies think that you're Hank
That's cool that had that hurt is that a win for hang?
Yeah, and smart by them.
They're like, they see a guy and they're like, that guy's somehow related to PMT.
Oh, it's Hank.
Yeah, wow, your hair grew back real fast, Hank.
Yeah, that's tough.
And you're sitting with a little baby bib in the booth right now having to go through.
Because you texted me very excited.
You said, we're back.
Well yeah. As RT, I didn't really understand he was getting slaughtered Max was getting
winks that were for Hank kinda yeah who from the Phillies is in the All-Star
game it is Bryce Harper Trey Turner Ranger, Ranger Suarez, Zach Wheeler, Matt Strom.
No Castellanos?
Castellanos is not.
Castellanos in the home run derby would be awesome because it would be just tragedy after
tragedy after tragedy happening somewhere.
Yeah, Alec Bohm also, Hoffman.
What's that Hank?
It would be like a bombing somewhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It would just be the worst.
A terrorist attack happens.
A terrorist attack slash like tornado. Like World War II. Yeah. Yeah, it would just be the worst. A terrorist attack happens. A terrorist attack slash tornado.
Like World War II.
Yeah.
Sharknado happens.
All these things happen at the same time.
Okay.
What else?
That was great MOB talk, boys.
It was really good.
I really...
Dinger's only going hot and heavy right now.
We're off and running.
NHL free agency?
Sure. I said my piece. I think the Blackhawks did a good job.
I think the cap, caps did a wonderful job as well. Uh,
Celebrene, he's doing stuff. I think he signed his contract.
Yup.
That's cool.
Also hockey, hockey should just go away for like a month.
No, I wasn't going to be my take.
I was thinking about it.
There are some jerseys and I like the jersey in general, but the San Jose Sharks, like
they had a picture of him in the Sharks jersey.
I was like, this isn't a real franchise.
Looks kind of like a 1990s video game.
Yeah.
It's like, let's make a franchise.
I don't know.
You just put on the...
Well, the Ducks kind of had that vibe going for them when they were the Anaheim Mighty Ducks.
And then they just switched it up and now they look like a real hockey team.
Yeah. So good luck to Sal O'Brini. He's going to be great.
Yeah, I'm trying to think. What other big stories? Michael Rubin's white party. That was cool.
Yeah, we were there.
For no one except the people there.
We were definitely there.
So sick.
That was so sick.
Ah, man.
Joe Burrow was there.
Was he?
Yeah.
He had a sleeveless, like, white button-down shirt.
Good for Joe.
And we'll get into this with Joe when we talk to him.
But going into the interview, I was a little worried that Joe's gone Hollywood on us. Yeah, you said that to me before yeah
I was a little bit worried I can confirm that Joe burrow still as cool as he ever was. Yeah, he's not Hollywood
He's the man. Oh cool. Tom Brady got picked off by Damar Hanlon on the beach. Oh, really? Okay
Let's cuz we're we're doing some loose podcasting right now. There's not a lot going on
In the sports world.
We're come back player of the year next year for tomorrow.
Well, we're feeling our way back into the podcasting game. How?
How long is tomorrow? Hamlin going to get invited to these things?
I think if he plays his cards right for a long time forever.
Yeah. OK, good for him. I'm not judging him. It's just like.
I saw him pick off Brady.
I was like, Oh shit. Is that tomorrow? Hamlin? Oh, he's there. Okay. And Grant Williams is
my favorite. Like just pops up at all these parties. I don't know how that he just, he
must like wash the dishes or something after like he helps out around the house. I have
no, he doesn't get a straight invite. He's like, Ruben's like, oh yeah, Grant, you can come.
Can you like just park a couple cars before and then you're welcome to come in?
Maybe someone's plus one.
Yeah, who's he dating?
I don't know.
Yeah, he didn't even get a tribute video.
He's getting a white party invite.
Everybody at the white party should be somebody that gets a tribute video.
But I like that Grant Williams is there just because it's very funny to see him pop up and Demar good for him. Just keep, keep doing
it. You think Tom let him pick that off? I don't know. I feel like Tom Brady was pissed.
Yeah. Cause I feel like anytime Tom Brady has a football in his hand, he's like, am
I back? Yeah. Like am I, am I going to do this? Uh, those are the VP of the players
association. So maybe he's just a great whoo people person
I don't know Graham Williams. Oh is he yeah. Oh, okay, so that might be why yeah
Wait, so who's the president is that Chris Paul? I think so. No, it's CJ McCall. I think oh, yeah
Yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right
Yeah, that that white party that was cool. That was that was really really cool
So in all honesty, I think this was the first time that the white party happened that I
thought to myself, I never, ever want to be there.
No, because it was also like, if we were in that, we would know some people, but I think
we'd get a lot of people being like, those guys are way too ugly to be here.
Yeah, I would definitely stick out.
I would probably be asked to leave the second I stepped in.
Yeah, and I'd spill. I'd spill on myself instantly. Yeah. And it's
a white party. Right. Right. So there's, there's no chance that you would be able to say it
was in bead there. Oh yeah. Oh, of course. Nick Mill was there holding the trophy. Drake
looked sad. I saw one picture. He kind of looks sad. Yeah, he's got to have going for worst summer ever Drake
Yeah, well he had the video
Kendrick Lamar's video for not like us came out and then while he was at well
He was at the white party, which is and then everyone's watching the video
Well, he's at the white party and then DeMar DeRozan came out when the when the Kings introduced him to not like yeah
So it's just gonna that song is just gonna be around for the entire so probably much longer than that
Yeah, so I don't I don't know what he's gonna do about this. Yeah good for the white party
I don't think Embiid was there. I don't think so either cuz he should yeah
He he's been but like Kevin Durant and Devin Booker were there Kevin Durant got hurt
Well, I know the white party happened before he got hurt. Oh fuck. So when did you think they did the white part now?
We do speaking
speaking of white parties we've got an update here from Chet Hanks. Oh yes. White Boy Summer
was created to be fun playful and a celebration of fly white boys who love beautiful queens
of every race. Anything else that it has been twisted into to support any kind of hate or
bigotry against any group of people is deplorable and I condemn it I hope that we can all spread love to each other and treat each other kindness and dignity love
Chet Hanks, you know, he's serious when he ends it with Chet Hanks not Chet Hayes
Yeah, so don't get it twisted people trying to co-opt white party
Yeah, white boy summer was supposed to be possible white white white boy summer. Yeah, that's yeah. Don't don't take it away
Um, I don't think Embiid was there anymore
Okay, was Tatum there? Oh, yeah, he brought the trophy. He did because he doesn't have aura if he doesn't have the trophy
Yeah, that's actually sad like the fact that he brought that as a heck
You have to admit the fact that he brings the trophy with him everywhere. He goes. He's like, yeah
Hey, he players wouldn't it's me. That's different. The Stanley Cup is different
He's like a guy who gets a puppy trying to get a chick. Yeah, hey players wouldn't it's me. That's different thought the Stanley Cup is different He's like a guy who gets a puppy trying to get a chick. Yeah, I
Mean if you guys want me a championship you do the same thing. It's me remember me
Yeah, I would never bring the trophy anywhere ever
Yeah, you wouldn't like follow the trophy around that's the Stanley Cup difference
We also you can that's the best trophy in sports can drink out of the
Stanley Cup. What do you use the NBA? The Larry O'Brien for a giant dildo. You think
anyone's ever brought around the Lombardi trophy? People don't just bring that around.
Absolutely. That's not like a traveling trophy. No, the Stanley Cup is the only traveling
trophy. That's a fact. I also don't think that you guys are arguing that you guys have
aura. Like if if if the argument is
Or a big cat or Jason Tatum. That is not a good sign for Jason Tatum. Yeah, and also I yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, but the fact that you that you're walking into a party with the NBA championship trophy
It's like hey remember me guys. Yeah. Hey to finish off the baseball talk
There is no worse trophy than than World Series. That trophy stinks.
Yeah, it's a bad trophy.
That trophy's just literally like,
hey, how can we make a trophy
that looks like it's gonna break at any moment?
The coolest part about that trophy
was when George Costanza dragged it around the parking lot
and it broke everywhere.
I was like, yes, that's what I wanna see that trophy do.
It really is.
It's really a blowout when you go from like the Stanley Cup
to the World Series.
Like the World Series trophy,
the problem with it is it looks cool if it's in a glass container, but to actually celebrate with
it, you can't celebrate with it. Right. You can't do anything. You're going to fall down
and hurt yourself with it. Yeah, you're going to break one of those flags. I would say the
crystal ball that they used to have for college football. Yep. Great trophy. That was a great
trophy. Bring that trophy back. That was a great show. I'd put that at power ranking number two actually
We should do a Mount Rushmore. I think we have trophies. Yeah, but just be like you get one pick
Okay, you want to do it impromptu? Okay. All right. I'll go first Stanley Cup
Lombardi
Larry O'Brien low man
Good pander pick. Yeah, that was a good pander pick memes
Me was panicking world's you have World Series still there memes
World Series still there memes would a gold medal work. No not a trophy not a trophy World Cup
What about like a rivalry trophy like yeah Paul Bunyan's axe. Yep. Yep. That's a good pick.
Oh, we could actually do this. AVN. All right, we'll do this. Do this at some point. Yeah, no, we absolutely could do this.
Okay, anything else before we do Who's Back of the Week? I think we covered all the sports. I think we got everything. Yeah. Yeah. All right, let's do Who's Back of the Week.

For the last three years each winner of the John Deere classic has stayed in the same rental home in Illinois
Whoa officially the trophy house
Davis Thompson sepshraka JT Paustin
How do you get this over your head?
In the same in the same exact place same rental home. Holy shit. That's wild right that is wild big tournament a lot of big field pretty random golfers
That was about life
What you said it was about life the stat?
Wild I said golf. Oh golf. So how much is that? Oh, yeah, I think you said life
And but you meant to say golf and you said living yeah, I think you said living and you meant to say golf or living in the house. I don't know. No, I know
I think you life is golf synonymous for living living golf if you can't go through that up and yeah
I don't think if you can't put
Living and you meant to say golf like you said it's about living. Yeah, so you're like if I can't golf then I die
Yeah, true
BS wild that is wild. How much do you think they're gonna be able to sell that house for next year
I mean yeah, how I don't know how the bidding process goes for getting that house
But if you're playing in the John Deere and you're not you try to get it right now
Whatever you can to get in that house you could win it you could win John. Yeah rent it right now for next year
Man, I'm fucked up off this necklace. I'll look into it. Yeah, it's good stuff, right? You're probably feeling much better
Yeah, I'm feeling up off this necklace look into it. Yeah, it's good stuff, right? You're probably feeling much better Yeah, I'm feeling how excited you for this golf tournament going to throw my balls now. I'm gonna be sick. I'm very excited also
We're not golfing. I had to break that to Hank today
No, I thought you were no this is about a video. I thought at one point you were golfing
I knew I wasn't no they thought you were golfing and we were filming. So the Tahoe, the chill week, we've always wanted to go to this tournament. There's
like a ton of people we want to interview. It's going to be awesome. Um, but so when
we were setting this whole thing up, the American century, uh, celebrity golf tournament people
have been super, super nice. We're like so pumped to be out there.
They asked us if we wanted to play in the Pro-Am
and they're like, what are your handicaps?
And I think we made the right decision.
We're like, this is a bad idea
because there's gonna be a lot of people
standing around and we might kill someone.
Yeah, that was our big nervous moment.
We were thinking about doing the Pro-Am thing
with Brooks last year at the Live Tour.
Where there are gonna be people that are potentially
standing on the sides of the tee box. Yes. And that's bad. Yeah, so we're not golfing but we will be there
I think we're caddying for a couple of the guys. We're gonna do some videos
We're gonna get some awesome interviews for the AWL some like really awesome ones
I'm very excited about a bunch of them. Are we allowed to take like celebrity shots?
Maybe we can have the celebrities we can ask. For the celebrities?
We can ask.
I think I've seen people do it.
Well, the problem is I don't know what the vibe,
like I think guys really wanna win this.
Like our-
I thought the stuff you guys are doing
is like the practice round.
We are, yeah.
It's not like, it's not like,
still wanna win but-
Blake Griffin takes golf very seriously.
Yeah.
I don't think he wants. Oh, did you
guys see? Um, I saw a Tik Tok account. They're bringing back honking in people's backswings
and it's so fucking. Oh, I love that. Yeah. Jackass. Jackass when they bring the air horn
up to the golf course. I love it so much. I watched an hour of these Tik Toks the other
night. Just guys getting so angry of, and so angry. And they would honk in the
backswing and someone else from the foursome would stand up and they would just like kind of fake
them out and they would still honk in their backswing and then they drive off. I used to do
that when I was just driving by the golf course in my hometown when I was like a teenager, just
got my car. I would just drive by the golf course, every hole I would just lean on the horn. Because
what are they going to do? They can't chase you. You don't think it's funny, Hank? No,
you don't, which sucks because it's funny. It's so funny. It's so funny. Like why can't
baseball players, they swing when people are like honking and making noise and whistling
in their backswing all the time. Why can't a golfer do it? I think if people were cheering
the whole time, that'd be one thing you can get used to but the the silence
Oh, this is oxy you are probably the same guy said it's not cool when people post videos of them running over their friends with
the golf cart
Those videos are funny. Those are very funny, right honking in a backswing is funny. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I
He does he still he doesn't think it's funny
It's funny, but I don't want to say it's funny than it, you know
It happens to you and it's not funny cuz you don't think it's oh if it happened to me it'd be funny
it'd be like remember not shooting free throws and and and uh
The kid just yelled out the window Hank that whatever Patriots fucking suck. Yeah, I miss my freezer, and it was funny
Yeah, that was a very funny moment
Yeah
Okay, pft. Your who's back my who's back of the week is Archie Manning. Yeah Archie Manning's back
this was I believe on Tuesday of last week Wednesday of last week the
Clarion ledger posted an article and a tweet and it said Archie Manning Ole Miss football legend dad of Eli
Peyton grandfather of arch is 75. Yeah
Everybody thought that Archie Manning
was dead. I 100% did. When you read that headline you think is dead at 75 and then
you go back and you reread the headline and you don't know what the fuck they're
talking about with this art like why is this an article? Yeah. You have to assume
that Arch's 75th birthday is today. No. When you read that plot twist, it's not even his birthday.
He turned 75 on May 19th. Yeah. So for some reason they just decided to write an article
about his age, his best life accomplishments, how you know him, and then just ended the
sentence. They, I guess they've been doing this. Oh, this, this one newspaper. Yeah, and then Florio, uh, like took him to task big
time like Spider-Man meme. Yeah. So, uh, Florio has never pronounced anybody dead. Mike Florio
announced that Terry Bradshaw died 12 years ago. Listen, it's a Kevin Durant clickbait
game. It is. What are you going to do? You got to get the clicks. So but it was a very it was a very funny headline because everybody thought that Archie Manning
was dead for 100% thought he thought he's not dead. And listen, I don't want to get
into talking about John Cena. He did announce that he was retiring from wrestling in the
ring. But it would be cool if you were Archie Manning. Just you'd probably get some people
saying nice things about you. And they're like, oh shit, he's still alive. Yeah, I stand
by that take. Do you think that if we had John Cena on at
some point in the next year, which I think he's doing a year long retirement
ceremony for like, hey, like you think LeBron will retire? He would say,
that's not funny to me. Some people just retired recently. I'm going through
that myself. Do we want to get him back on the show? Sure. Yeah. John Cena.
Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Sure. John Cena? Absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
Absolutely.
I think John Cena is one of those guests that we have on every four years.
Just enough time passes that he just forgets that we exist.
And then he comes back on.
He's like, oh, these guys?
If he comes back on, we will definitely ask him how cool it was when people thought that
you were dead for a second.
Yes. That is a promise. We'll run it back. We'll run it back.
And we'll see what his reaction... It might be totally different.
Yeah, because he... Well, unless he has someone die.
Yeah, we gotta make sure that everyone around him is safe.
Yeah, but I definitely want John Cena back on.
Because yeah, he's in that list of like... I don't think he has any idea who we are.
Although that one time he did want to fuck my belly button.
Yeah.
But enough time passes where he's like, yeah, I'll do this podcast.
He also doesn't realize till he's in the interview where he's like, shit, these guys again.
He does so much media too that there's a good chance that he might just forget.
Okay.
We're going to try to get John Cena on talk about his retirement.
Come on the show, John Cena.
Yeah.
Uh, okay.
My who's back of the week.
I have two.
One is Joey Chestnut, still the goat. So on July 4th, I don't know if you guys watched, I did not.
The Nathans?
I did not.
I did not. They didn't have it on in Greece for some reason.
The winner, who, listen, I feel bad for the guy because he basically, like he didn't ask for this.
He just went and won. He ate 58 hot dogs.
Joey Chestnut in 10 minutes. Joey Chestnut did an event with the troops. He ate 57 hot dogs Joey chestnut in 10 minutes. Joey chestnut did a
An event with the troops. He ate 57 hot dogs in five minutes. That's that's pretty good. That's pretty impressive
There's an asterix around it was a burluttoni that one. Yeah, I think so. Yeah big asterix
Yeah, I feel bad for him. Like he that's not his fault. He just went and competed
It does show it sucks because everyone's like dude
That's not real like Joey chestnut is is the biggest thief of joy
We talked about the the Tom Brady's of the world
The Patrick Mahomes is that have taken joy away from so many different good quarterbacks and good fan bases
Joey chestnut is like that for anybody that's ever eaten anything
Yes, like you'll never these these other guys are great eaters in their own right and they'll never be known because they're not Joey chestnut
Yeah, no, it's a fact. All right, then my other who's back is, I guess blowing up spots.
I don't know if you guys saw this headline, but the Daily Mail on July 4th. I'll read
a headline. Well, let's read a headline together. Meet Derek Blasberg, Hollywood socialite accused
of fleeing Gwyneth Paltrow's Hamptons home after catastrophic diarrhea who counts Jeff Bezos and Demi Moore's pals
So basically Gwyneth Paltrow got on the phone with a Daily Mail after this guy left and said I want you to put an article
About how bad his diarrhea so I don't know if it was Gwyneth Paltrow because the whole article basically says this guy is so
connected, but he's not like a list people don't really know who he is and
Apparently this the diarrhea was so bad the story just like word of mouth got back
to the Daily Mail. It's crazy but he got yeah look he first of all he blamed he
tried to blame Ozempic which is so funny that he's like I had Ozempic diarrhea
the internet was whipped into a frenzy last week when a blind item in a popular gossip
newsletter claimed that Goop founder Paltrow had been faced with cleaning up someone's
ozempic induced diarrhea at her home. Insiders later told Daily Mail, Blasberg once described
as one of showbiz most well-connected men was the culprit and that he had conveniently
blamed the incident on the popular weight loss wonder drug before allegedly fleeing the property.
And then it goes on to say, uh, it's not Ozempic. That's just what he told everyone, the insider said, before revealing how the secret made its way through the Hampton set.
Ready for this?
Mm-hmm.
Gwyneth told Oprah, Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld, and Larry David.
And then it went from there, somehow through the grapevine to... So this guy's diarrhea
was the talk of the town.
This is crazy. So this guy, Derek Blasberg, he has interacted with Gwyneth Paltrow in
the past online.
They're friends.
They're friends. And he's saying, they're saying now it was not Ozempic related.
No, they're saying it's not Ozempic related. And then it basically became the talk of the town in the Hamptons.
And then finally it ended up on the front page of the Daily Mail
on July 4th, just blowing up this guy's spot.
Yeah, the guy is weird.
They talked about Gwyneth Paltrow meeting him for the first time.
And Paltrow admitted she had questioned if Blasberg was simply a professional hanger on. When I first met him I was a
little dubious. I was like are you a professional best friend of celebrities
and why are you everywhere at once? What's your deal? After 10 seconds I fell
completely in love with him. Sounds like she just fell for the professional
hanger on. She admitted she was like this guy is a professional best friend of
celebrities. Oh my god I love him. Please's got diarrhea in my house. This guy's got 245,000 Twitter
followers. I would have said, and now he's just diarrhea guy. Now he's diarrhea guy. Like
you could do everything you could do. You could have all these friends. You could write.
I think he's a journalist. You could write a book, but you do one bad diarrhea in Gwyneth
Paltrow's house. Your diarrhea guy, Derek Blasberg, diarrhea guy. Maybe if this Derek Blasberg guy is such a good friend to celebrities, maybe it was somebody
else's diarrhea and he's putting his hand up and taking the blame for it. You know what
I'm saying? Like, what if it's Gwyneth's diarrhea and he's such a good pal? He's like, just
tell Oprah it was mine.
But I think he is the exact guy. That would be a normal thing for a regular person do but if his job is to be a professional
Hang her on you you have to be like diarrhea could ruin my whole career
You don't want to be known as the guy that you can't invite over to your house
He's got diarrhea and now he's diarrhea guy like forever has he made any comment about this?
No, but I really want him to because I was thinking about it more. This sounds like a notes app. I think there are definitely some crimes that you could come back from faster than diarrhea
in Gwyneth Paltrow's house.
Yeah.
I mean, Marion Barry was arrested for smoking crack and then he got elected mayor of DC.
Any like small drug paraphernalia?
Yeah.
Don't drink and drive, but a DUI like Justin Timberlake, that's gonna
be a blip on the radar. He's not gonna be DUI guy. I'd even say robbing a bank is kind
of cool. Tax fraud. Yeah. All these things, you can definitely bounce back faster than
Diarrhea and Gwyneth Paltrow's house. And she had to clean it up. She had to clean it
up herself. I'm gonna go to... Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow. I'm gonna go to his website
and see what he advertises here. I mean, if I were him, I would just put on my own website,
which is derrickplasberg.com. I do not have diarrhea. Right? Not the diarrhea is fake news.
There was no diarrhea. And if there were diarrhea, it was ozempic diarrhea. Because that because
it's clear he's ashamed of it. If's blaming ozempic this this sounds like
He's also just kind of a fuck think about that. It's like a fucked up
Just comment on our society that the guy was like, oh
It was he's not even overweight and he's like, yeah, it's the weight loss drug
I'm taking that caused the diarrhea and no one was like
Hey, why are you doing that? They're just like nah, dude dude, that was your diarrhea. This guy also might be paid by Manjaro to say that it was
impinged. Bad diarrhea that true. And it's pretty fucked up this story because then they
just had like pictures of him and his partner and like their two kids being like blast.
Blasberg welcomed his two children a couple years ago.
And it's the name of his kids in the diarrhea article.
You can also have diarrhea and then not make somebody else clean it up.
That's the bad part.
Yeah.
Are we thinking just real bad stained porcelain like got all over the place?
No, oh.
I assumed that it was in the bed.
That he shit the bed.
I think he shit the bed.
I don't think this was a bathroom thing. I think this was a bed. He crapped in the bed and then
Gwyneth had to clean it all the way to the bathroom and then he just left. He high tailed
it out of there. Man Derek come on the show. Yeah please come on the show. We won't call
you will introduce you as diarrhea guy that we will not call you diarrhea guy after that we'll call you DG
Max you have a who's back not really killed Martin NASCAR Caleb Martin also
Anthony Anthony Edwards being being the best yeah yeah the clip where he said
he's the number one option yeah that was a team NASCAR is back that we went to
the race it was awesome it did It did rain. Also had one
of the weirdest interactions Hank and I did. So we were at this thing beforehand, PFT,
that was like a bunch of like athletes, celebrities, whatever.
And which are always fun when it's random, like Super Bowl party, when it's just bumping
into people.
It was random. Like we bumped into, like Dana White was there. I was like, can we go to the total chaos? Yeah
but anyway
We see Stephen Coletti from Laguna Beach fame. Mm-hmm, and we're like we gotta go we gotta go say what's up
Yeah, I got excited before we could even say what's up. He went up to Hank and was like, hey Hank. That's cool
So he's a PMT listener. Oh shout out him. Sorry. He was a PMT list until I went up to him and I was like, hey, Hank. That's cool. So he's a PMT listener. Oh, shout out to him. Sorry, he was a PMT listener.
Until?
I went up to him and I was like, hey, what's up, man?
He's like, hey, big cat.
And I was like, hey, just so you know, I'm a J guy.
And he was like, OK.
I dated Chris and Cavalieri like 20 years before.
And I was like, yeah, but I wanted that clear
that I'm a J guy.
From the get-go.
It was so awkward. He was a good sport about it, but I wanted that clear that I'm a Jaga. From the get-go. It was so awkward.
He was a good sport about it, but it was awkward.
That was such a moment in time.
Yeah.
The Laguna Beach era.
I just, listen, I'm loyal.
I'm a loyal guy.
Yeah, always.
Why would you be loyal to my guys?
That, I mean, obviously there's a lot of interactions we have with a lot of famous people, but
it's always the people that, you know, when I was younger, like when I watched Laguna
Beach I was like 11, so walking past him and him being like, what's up Hank? Yeah, I literally thought
it was a different person. I thought this was Steven, but the fact that he's talking
to me means it can't be Steven. Steven, if you're listening to this right now, I apologize.
I had to do that. I have no regrets, but I apologize for making it awkward. Thank you
for listening. You're a cool guy. You're also a very good-looking guy We also were told
This is not our finest moment
someone told us that CT of
Challenge fame was there and Hank and I both just started like going around like like like fucking
Drug dogs look who's just looking for him everywhere
Where is he? Where is in find him? No couldn't find him couldn't find him
I kept hoping like I was walking me like is he think I think I backpacked he'd know that come on I
Don't know I never watch he's sick. He said I never watched the challenge. He's sick. Did CT get back
I mean no CT backpack Johnny bananas. Oh, I thought Johnny banana and he tried to eat Adam's brains
Oh, I thought that I thought Johnny bananas backpack CT one. There's one season
I got ball sack where's one season where CT was just he clearly I I don't think it was the right headspace
He didn't want to be there and he just beat the fuck out of the smallest guy within like the first five minutes of the season
And got kicked out. He's like, I'm gonna eat your brains
You know be good Mount Rushmore is Mount Rushmore of like celebrities that you had when you were younger that are just definitely not
Really celebrities to most people yeah, no, it's a CT is yeah
that the the beer games made me think about that show and how like
What we did for the beer games was similar to those shows where they would just get fucked up
But like it would just all play out
Yeah
They would imagine like cuz those fights and like yeah yeah you know those scenes where you're watching like how
are these guys saying this and how is this happening every night they're getting thrown
in the pool. They just do it all. I'm an alcohol. Yeah yeah and they're just like they're they
basically then wake up and go do a challenge. They put them in a house drunk again. No cell
phones no TV unlimited alcohol. Go. It's a pretty easy formula. Works every time. No
board games.
They're never playing like Scrabble. In the last interaction we had, the beef with Joey
Logano is still on. Good, yeah, Joey Logano. Yeah, so I went up to him and I was like,
hey, you blocked me on Twitter, will you unblock me? He's like, well, what's your pitch for
unblocking me? I was like, I actually don't have a pitch. If you unblock me, I'm just
going to tweet you Joey Logano. Yeah, that's it. Okay, so so I'm not gonna unblock you. I was like, that's fair.
Who was the NASCAR driver that came to the studio, like, a month and a half ago? Was it Chase?
Yeah, that sounds right.
Was it Chase? He just won the cup?
Yeah, Chase.
Yeah, so we were playing golf with him in the simulator, and I don't really know that much about NASCAR, so make it small talk.
I was like, you know Joey Sligano? He's like, yeah.
I was like, how much of a dick is he in real life? And he like chuckled. I was like, I hate that guy. That's his's like, yeah I was like how much of a dick is he in real life and he like chuckled I was like I hate that guy
That's his like closest teammate. Yeah, oops hand up. They are but he is slow. He is the thing about Joey Logano
Slowly, he's fucking slow and I am Blaney Ryan Blaine Blaine and I told him I said to him
I was like hey when you're in your car today
Just think about how slow you are slow gonna is. And he was dead last for a while.
Because he's slow.
Because he was like, damn.
I am slow.
That big cat guy was probably right.
He probably doesn't know my name.
But that guy who came up to me and asked me to unblock him, he was right.
He's slow.
He's very slow.
But shout out to NASCAR.
We had a great time.
We got to walk around the pit row.
They do a great, great job.
And they were very welcoming. What do you say, Hank? That was just a cool, it was a cool, great job. And they were very welcoming.
What do you say, Hank?
No, it was just a cool, it was a cool, big event in the city.
It was like.
Yeah, it was awesome.
They were driving the same streets we drive.
Yeah, they were.
I was driving the street on Friday,
and I was like, look, I saw the fences on the side.
Were you doing turns?
I was like, I think I'm on the NASCAR track.
Yeah.
It is fun to pretend that you're driving NASCAR.
Oh, we're talking to people in the pit.
Also, news that I got, we have, apparently we have two race simulators in this office
that are yet to be built.
What?
Yeah.
I thought that we couldn't have simulators in this office, Hank.
Yeah.
I thought they were too big.
I thought we were getting one.
I think we're getting one.
I think we have two.
Yeah, we might be getting one back.
What the fuck?
Two. Spider was like, we gotta build it. But I think I've got delivery. Yeah, we might be getting one back. What the fuck to spider was like we got to build it
But I'm so excited for it if we get a massive if like, you know
The US Air Force wants to do a partnership with barstool. Yes. Yes, and we will yes
Oh, then they're gonna I will I will sign up. Yeah, I'll enlist in the Air Force if they if they install it back right now
You know that back take that no no no, I want to be very clear about what I'm saying if they install like a real world
f22 Raptor
Flight simulator in this office. I will enlist in the Air Force take that back right now
What are you then gonna?
Hop out. I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna go a wolf
Am I what? Oh, yeah, you might be too old. I
Don't know what the rules are Shit. I'll try to enlist.
I'm tall enough.
I don't know. Yeah, I don't know if you're.
I think we might be too old.
I don't think they'd take us anymore.
That's kind of why would they? Yeah.
Why would they?
Because I'm an excellent pilot.
Oh, this is weird.
On my flight back from Greece, we land and then the pilot gets on the speaker.
Right. And he goes,
I want you guys to notice that awesome landing
that was just pulled off by our our co-captain on this flight
he's my son. Oh this was our first father-son flight
it was like a little LeBron Bronnie. Yeah a little nepotism. Oh no you're good.
You got three years. Okay there we go if we get an F-22
Raptor flight simulator in this office I will enlist in the Air Force.
Has to be full.
They take 39 year olds?
17 to 42 Air Force.
Fuck yeah.
Army's 17 to 35, Coast Guard's 17 to 41.
Yeah. Dude, if it flies it dies.
Okay. Let's get a simulator. Yeah, we have a racing simulator coming up.
Marines 17 to 28. That makes sense.
That makes sense. Okay, let's get to our interview with Joe Burrow.

Okay, here he is, Joe Burrow.
Okay, we now welcome on
a very, very, very special guest.
One of our good friends. You
can't tell the history of Pardon My Take without this man. It is Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
quarterback. First of all, great to see you, Joe. It's been too long. I actually want to
compliment you at first because I think we haven't had you on since 2022. So before we do interviews,
I always try to like look and see if someone's
on another podcast.
You basically only do this podcast.
You do one other.
I've done one other podcast.
But I have gone off the podcast train for a while.
Yeah, you ride or die.
I think I've done your guys' podcast.
This would be the third time. This would be the third time. And I think I've done your guys' podcast. This would be the third time?
This would be the third time.
And I think I've done a total of four.
Okay, so I just wanted to say I see it
and I appreciate it very much.
Welcome home.
Yes, absolutely.
Also, I want to compliment you.
I don't know if the cameras caught this,
but right when the interview started,
Joe fixed his hair.
And then that thing fell down naturally.
Does your hair thing fall down naturally? It does, yeah. I get out of the shower, I push it all back, and then that thing fell down naturally. Does your hair thing fall down naturally?
It does, yeah.
I get out of the shower, I push it all back,
and then that thing goes right there.
It goes rogue, that's very cool.
So we were gonna interview Orlando Brown before you.
We didn't get a chance to do that,
so I'm gonna ask you the first question
I was gonna ask to Orlando Brown.
Oh good, that's good, that's a good interview trick.
Has Joe gotten to Hollywood now
that he's in fashion shows in Paris?
Some might say I've gone Hollywood, Has Joe gotten to Hollywood now these
Some might say I've gone Hollywood I went Hollywood for a week. Yeah now it's time to walk in Yeah, so I think I'm allowed one week of Hollywood if that's yeah
I think so I actually respected your answer when you said I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone a little bit
Yeah, try something new. It's definitely on my comfort zone. What does that just mean? That that is in Paris. That's just wearing suits with no back. Is that
what that's all the above man? Are the bros gonna be wearing backless suits? I think so. I think
backless suits are in good. I'm in I'll wear. I think you guys should wear backless suits. Yeah,
for some whatever event if you guys have next take ease. Yeah, maybe the Takeys. That sounds good.
It doesn't even have to be,
it can just cut it back out of a suit.
You don't even have to like make it,
just cut it.
It is showing your range that you were,
what was that?
Was it Paris Fashion Week?
It was Vogue World Fashion Show, yeah.
And now to part of my take.
Two of the highest of high class, high society.
Wait, so what happened when you showed,
did you know you were wearing a backless suit?
I showed up and they gave it to me and I said, sure.
Okay.
That's cool.
Yeah.
Have you been roasted in any group chats with the boys?
I've been roasted in just about every group chat I could possibly be roasted in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you did look cool when you did it.
I did look cool and I was fully prepared for all of the criticism and roasting. I knew it was coming my way
Listen, I'm just gonna throw this out there
If you ever need us like we could be like a tag team partner you tag us in you just throw us in your group
Chat for like a day and we just roast back and then you can kick us out. I'm all for it. Yeah
You have to say who it is just like bringing a new number and then let that person go to town. Yeah, they kick us out
Backless suits are in I don't know if you guys are losers for not
realizing that. I'm with that. Big time. All right. So I read a report that you are,
that you are bigger and stronger than in years past. Correct. You are. Yes. How much bigger and
stronger? 10, 15 pounds ish. Okay. Yeah stronger stronger
Yeah, you tell me how do you want me to call you look so strong? How many push-ups can you do? I haven't done any push-ups with my wrist this year. Okay. All right. All right fair bad question by me squats squats. Um
Yeah, I can squat a little more how much stronger do you feel I feel a lot stronger like if you were a hundred percent strong
Two years ago. What are you feel? I feel a lot stronger. Like if you were 100% strong two years ago, what are you now?
120% strong.
That's good.
So that's a headline right there.
Joe Burrow feels 120% strong.
There you go.
Yeah.
There was a moment a couple of months ago
when I feel like half the internet got tricked
and they thought that you had really long hair.
I know, I wish I had that hair.
I don't have the patience for that hair.
Yeah, I was like, do these people not see pictures of Joe Burrow where they know that his had really long hair. I know, I wish I had that hair. You remember that? I don't have the patience for that hair. Yeah, I was like, do these people not
see pictures of Joe Burrow where they know that his hair was
never in that in-between phase?
I think he just showed up one day with a Beatles haircut.
Yeah, I could have got some extensions, I guess,
but that was a pretty sick mullet.
Yeah, it was.
It did look good on him.
Was it the Star Wars haircut?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was good, but I was also
shocked by how dumb people online were to get.
Everyone felt like legitimate news-breaking NFL accounts were like, wow, look was good, but I was also shocked by how dumb people online were to get everyone felt like Legitimate news breaking NFL accounts were like wow look at you look lots of lies about me out there. I would say yeah
What do you think the biggest lie about you is?
Well, I had a bunch of people hit me up this week
Asking me if I was turning 30 this year. Oh and
That's just not even close. How old are you?
and that's just not even close. How old are you?
27.
Okay, yeah, because this happens to us.
People call us 40 and we're actually 39 and a half.
It's completely different.
So it's crazy people do that to you.
I wonder how that rumor got started.
Did you know that Joe Burrow is 30?
Yeah, I don't know.
I probably, it's probably a rival fan base
because I've been thinking about like Jordan Love.
I obviously hate the Packers,
but I've been thinking about just saying
Jordan Love is about to turn 30 because he's like he's about I think he's in his fourth year
He's in my class. Yeah, right. So I think I could get away with that. Just being like
Yeah, if you want to sign a new about recent turn 30 get away with just about anything on Twitter
Yeah, well also he went to school in Utah in the state. So some people might be like, oh, he probably went on his mission
Oh, yeah, right. He's 32 years old, right? Okay. Yeah. He's actually 32 years old. Which you're 27. When's your
birthday? December. Okay. So yeah, you're going to be 27 for the majority of the season.
Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty good. You're still in quarterbacks. Come on. 27 is I got a good
10, 15, I would say. Oh, is that, is that the plan? Like 15 years, 1542. See how the the see how the career plays out until then. Yeah, so I
Saw an interview of you where you said that you were thinking about maybe trying to join the USA flag football
Yeah, be sick. Wouldn't it? Yeah, we need you because we just lost to Japan
Who what the US lost to Japan in what in flag football today? No, we didn't I think it was real football
It was was it real football. It might have been real football. So the world's catching up
So I think it was like 41 to 20 they kicked our ass. Yeah, so that's real. That's real. Yeah, I think so
Okay, we also could use it in handball if you want to do that. I'll stick to
The football the football shaped. Okay, because handball you dominate. Yeah, I don't know the rules of handball, but it's literally I could pick it up
Yeah, you throw a goal. It's water polo without water, right?
And we have a long feud with the handball community
because they're like, no chance could US win.
I'm like, dude, yes, Joe Burrow could
be an awesome handball player.
Yeah, if all the best athletes just trained handball
from when they were five.
Exactly.
Like LeBron and KD and Miles Garrett playing handball.
Yeah. They actually call traveling and handball. So LeBron, maybe not. But yeah, Miles Garrett. I
feel like that dude could do just about any sport. Oh, I got it. I got the biggest lie told about you.
People use you as the NBA to NFL, NFL to NBA debate. They're like, Joe Burrow could drop 20
because I think you might've said that. I could spot up in the corner and his and threes. Yeah.
Okay. I'm not guarding those guys and I'm not dribbling and they're gonna steal it from
me but I could play with LeBron and stand in the corner and shoot a couple threes.
Yeah, so if you have to bring the ball up it might be a problem.
That would be a problem.
Defense?
I mean I could play great team defense.
Okay, that's good.
I'm very confident in your defense.
I'll get everybody situated in the 2-3 zone.
Call all picks.
Yes.
Like I'll be standing in the corner,
guarding the guy in the corner.
And then I'll go to the other corner
and do my thing in that corner.
I'll just go corner to corner.
I did notice that you got a small look in your eye
when you found out that we lost to Japan.
Like I think you really want to play for the Olympic team.
I think that's disappointing.
I really want to play for the Olympic five football disappointing. Yeah, I really want to play for the Olympic
five football team. Yeah. Yeah, it's gonna be awesome. Like me, Jamar, Justin.
Now you're just naming your friends. Yeah, me and my friends.
I'll play five football. Well, it's funny because like, if Joe's a guy that could be like, yeah,
me and like my best friends could beat anybody in the world in football. It's true.
Which is a cool thing to say. That's a very cool thing to say.
I think it'd be really cool. Yeah.
Yeah, I think you can do it.
We can't lose the gold medal the first time
that we have that in the Olympics.
You just can't have it.
Yeah, that would be embarrassing.
I had another question for Orlando here.
Orlando, who's the best quarterback
that you've ever played for?
So he's played for Lamar, Joe and Patrick Mahomes.
Time will tell.
Yeah.
Fair answer.
I like that answer.
Do you think people have forgotten about Joe Burrow?
I believe that.
Yeah.
That's what happens when you get hurt though.
You don't play football, people forget about you.
Yeah, which I kind of, I like the spot you're in right now because I feel like-
I love the spot.
Yeah, like AFC, everyone's like, oh well, you know, Josh Lamar and Patrick, CJ Stroud, Everyone's like, Oh, well, you know, you know, Josh Mar and Patrick,
CJ Stroud. It's like, you're forgetting one guy. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. But again, that's part of the
game. You don't, if you're not out there and people aren't watching you, then there's nothing to talk
about. So I'm going to give people talk about something to talk about this year. Well, I'm
excited about it. I feel like the spot that you were in last year
must have been tough for you because you,
I don't know how involved you were with the team
as you're on the sidelines.
But being in that situation where your team's playing
meaningful games and you just want to be out there
and you're just like chomping at the bit,
unable to be there, I feel like that
has to take a small toll mentally at least, right?
Yeah, very difficult. But I would say, you know,
this injury was different than my previous ones because you know it was my wrist so
I was like I couldn't throw and I couldn't do my job but I could still
grind in the weight room and get all my workouts in and so my offseason started
you know 10 to 12 weeks earlier than everybody else's and so I think that
gives me kind of a leg up on the year, but definitely watching you guys go out there and
play meaningful football is tough, but
I was excited for Jake
Because great family great movie by you great family your suite up. Yeah, so that that was a great
I'm not using it. So why would yeah not give it to know you did America a favor
That was one of those moments where we forget that we actually have a big podcast,
because we complimented Jake's lovely girlfriend.
And then I was like, I wonder if he's a fan.
And then I saw he followed us.
I was like, hey, man, great game.
He was like, yeah, I'm a listener.
He was like, hey, what?
I was like, OK.
No, we were very nice.
Yeah, we were very polite.
Appropriate.
OK.
But that was nice of you to give him the suite.
I'm sure.
Yeah. Why not? So we talked about this before we sat
down. But this is the day after beer Olympics. I mean, big cat
are sweating out Coors Light right now. We're replenishing
with body armor, which is great. Body very hydrated. But every
time we interview feels like we are at death's door. The first
time we definitely were. Well, maybe not quite because I was
still feeling pretty good from the night before. Yeah. But we weren't. Yes. You remember PFT
is question that went nowhere. I was actually trying to remember that on the way over and
I was like, how awesome was it that this year you just like beat every team and you just
destroyed every team. But in the true spirit of that, I asked Hank to write a question
for this interview because he's hurting Hank is like a hundred times
worse than we are right now and it took Hank an hour and a half I had to remind
him constantly like hey you got to get a question to me took him an hour and a
half and this is the question that he came up with and it's not even a
question it's just like Joe burrow likes to sit crisscross applesauce yeah it's
comfortable so that's that's next that question. That's Hank's comment. Yeah. So you like crisscross applesauce? I'm pro. Yeah. I,
that's how I've always kind of sat. It's just my external hip rotation is probably better than most.
I don't even know what that means. Crisscross applesauce is comfortable for me. So like when
we're sitting like this, does this mean that we have good external? Oh yeah. You're probably
crisscross applesauce guy. I could be. I just sit like this because you don't look like you don't look like a crisscross
applesauce. I just want people to think I have big balls. But I can sit like this so
you can. I just let everyone know. What do you think about that guy right there? Max.
Yeah, that's how he says it's like a sumo wrestler. He's our little big baby. It's great.
What I said at the start though was true. The, the, we can't tell the story of pardon my take without Joe Burrow because
That was I would say one of the funnest interviews you've ever done
Yeah
And one of those moments that like we point to them as we go through our history and we're like that was a big break
That was a big break but getting to interview the Heisman Trophy winner national champion
Six hours after you won a title. Yeah. So I want to thank you.
And also would you do the same if you ever won a Super Bowl? Yeah. Locked in. Nice work
for you. I got that. I got that. Yeah. I did love how, how in that interview coach O was
still in coach mode and he was like walking around the hotel lobby, like screaming at
players that they're going to miss the boss. And they're like, we don't care if we miss
this. Joe was not letting anybody miss the bus.
Do you still keep in touch?
Oh, hell yeah.
He's down in, he's living in Miami right now doing his thing.
But yeah, we stay in touch. He's a great friend.
By the way, I did a bad job of asking that question.
Will you come on Pardon My Take the morning after when you win a Super Bowl?
Sure. Yes.
I said if. Yeah, yeah. When you win a Super Bowl. Yeah, when you win a Super Bowl sounds Sure. Yes. Okay. I said if yeah, yeah. When you win a super
Yeah, when you win a Super Bowl sounds better. I feel like
maybe this year. We'll just pencil that in. Yeah. Okay.
We'll say that you don't have to say that. We could stay an
extra day in New Orleans. Joe's he's oh my god. It's perfect.
It's perfect. I don't even know if that's the right word.
What a storyline. Yeah. Yeah. So I was also trying to think
because we need to we need to figure out how to recover
better as human beings
from nights like last night and
I remember reading something that you go to bed every night at 8 p.m.
During the season during the season during the season so in the offseason you stay up later as a treat
Yeah, we you don't watch one a football. I do watch one in a football, but I'm in bed. Oh
So you're gonna say you don't go to sleep. I don't watch the full game.
I'll watch the first half.
But I am asleep probably by 9.30.
Yeah, OK, yeah, because in the fall,
that would make more sense.
I was thinking that in the springtime,
it's fully light outside.
You can't go to bed.
I'm up.
I've got some gaming nights that I have off season.
I'm enjoying life a little more, for sure.
I'm always jealous of people who can go to bed early. It's like a superpower.
I mean, I'm pretty dang tired during the season.
Yeah, but still it is a superpower because even if I'm tired, I'm like,
I got to squeeze the last hour out of this day doing nothing.
Yeah. And then it hurts me on the other side.
It definitely hurts you in the morning. Football season is tough for us too.
Yeah, but we can't go to bed early. So it's probably harder on us than it is on you.
Maybe. Way harder. What would you say to
Ohio State fans that try to claim you?
Um, I didn't play football there. I mean, I practiced
football there.
Did a lot of practicing. I did a lot of practicing and lifting.
You graduated. I graduated. I, I would say I usually tell
people that I went to school at Ohio State and I played football at LSU
That's good. I like that. I got a lot better
From practicing at Ohio State, but I didn't get to play so I don't really say that I played
That's a fair answer. I still have relationships there that to this day that I care about
In that building, but I didn't play there. Yeah. LSU is your
playing home. Yeah. Yeah. Do you feel anything when when Michigan
plays Ohio State? Not not as much as the LSU rivalries, I
would say. Yeah, you never lost to Michigan, right? No, we were
we were three and oh when I was there. Yeah. So interesting and
very interesting. Never lost to Michigan. Maybe that's what Ohio
State fans
You can't claim Joe burrow, but you could say we never lost with Joe. That's true. Yeah, is Jamar chase open right now
He's always open always open. Yeah always open. Are you is there ever a moment where he's like dude?
I'm opening like I got it. I got I understand. Please stop telling me I get it
No, I love when receivers come and tell me that they're open
Because if they're open that usually means they are so I'm
Gonna try to throw them the ball. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but he is he's always open. I
Mean, yeah for the most part. Yeah
If he's coming to the sideline and tell me something I'm gonna listen to that guy and I'm gonna throw him the ball
Yeah, because it usually works. Yeah, that's how we work on this podcast
I'm like big cats always open so I can I can kick it right now to big cat and I can be like, yeah
Hey Joe, remember when you said that players should taunt I agree with you. Why can't I don't really understand?
I was open. I think if you're getting paid to play football you can taunt
I'm all for not taunting in college and high school. Yep
Once you get paid to play, I think we should
be able to taunt and nobody's going to get their feelings hurt. Like we're all big boys.
We're going to be okay. Yeah. And if you're in the locker room and you hear the stuff
we say to each other in there, it is a million times worse than like pointing at a guy and
being like, ah, first down. Yeah. Yeah. That's the part. I think a lot of
the media misses is like a locker room. When you go through the
trials and tribulations of a football season, like it's, it's
not a regular, you're not going to a nine to five work job.
Yeah. And I always get upset with the anti taunters where I'm
like, you're asking these guys to put their bodies on the line,
play a super physical game, an emotional game, and none of these guys
know how long their career is gonna be, why can't they get the most out of it in
every way? I agree and there you don't see all like the little interactions
that you have with other players throughout the game that can kind of
build tension and so like people are talking shit the whole game that you don't see and so when you make a play on that guy
Just like if you're playing backyard basketball and somebody's talking shit to you
You're gonna taunt that guy if you score on him. Yeah, like
I'm gonna taunt somebody if he's talking shit, and then I go make a good play and
I'll give you a quick story
So when we won we beat the Chiefs in 2021
in the AFC Championship. I posted a picture, Cartier glasses, I won't even peek at you.
Lil baby, shout out Lil baby. And then the next year, Chris Jones gets a sack to basically
clinch the game and he runs up to me after and yells Cartier glasses, I won't even peek
at you. And I was, I just smiled and like backed him up. I was like, you got me. That's
great. I love that shit, right? Like why not?
I like give it and take it when Angel Reese did that to Caitlin Clark that you can't see that's great
Use somebody's own taunt against them. That's good. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah
Yeah, it's like sports is all that's why what sports is all about right?
Yeah, that's why going to Texas sucks because everyone's gonna horns down
I don't know why they get so offended. It only
makes it worse. Yeah, it only makes it work. It's like, I just
want to do it even more. This bothers me. Okay, horns down
again. They like had the big 12 write it specifically into
their rulebook. Yeah, that's we can't do horns down. Yeah, we
were doing ones down and we played them. Yeah. And I feel
like in the SEC, I have an idea that the SEC is not going to
cater everything towards Texas football. 12 used to hope sure hope they don't ban horns down in yes
Yeah, now when a receiver spins the ball after making a catch now, that's taunting
They're gonna go ahead arrest that guy throw him out of the game
Yeah, that was the funniest when Roger Godot was like the spinning of the ball is now a 15 yard pill. Yeah
That was when was that? It was I feel like 10 years ago. Yeah, remember when Randy Moss fake mooned
To this day oh, ago. Oh, a long time ago. Yeah. Remember when Randy Moss fake mooned the crowd? Oh, yeah.
Disgusting act.
We give Joe Buck a big about that to this day.
Is that Joe Buck?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He gets mad when we bring it up.
Disgusting.
Yeah, disgusting act.
He admits that that was his biggest misstep in the booth.
He really regrets saying that.
But it's very funny that his biggest regret is
making fun of a guy taking his pants off.
I think, maybe if I get a rushing touchdown this year, I might bring back the fake moon.
That would be awesome. It's got to be on the road though. That would be awesome. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Do it against Pittsburgh. Okay. Oh dude. Speaking of Pittsburgh. Well, yeah.
Hold on. I had one question about the taunting real quick. I heard you say once that you
don't, you won't start the shit talking, but if someone shit talks to you, you'll go back at them.
Yeah, I don't usually start it.
Have there been games where there's just
no one ever shit talk you?
Yeah, definitely.
Does that not, like, do you find yourself missing
like a little edge?
Yeah, it's not quite as fun without shit talk.
I wish we hadn't done this,
because now people are gonna just never shit talk you.
You might have to change your policy.
You might have to start shit talking first.
The thing is, sometimes I don't know what to say first.
I'm not great at coming up with shit talk to say on the fly.
But if somebody says it to me, then I get my wheels
turning a little bit.
Yeah, I mean, at what point does the line cross
between just saying, oh yeah, after a play,
and then shit talk? Yeah, well, yeah, after play and then shit talk.
Yeah.
Well, if if I start it and then they don't say anything back to me,
I kind of just feel like a dick.
Yeah.
And because it's got to be a two-way street.
I can't just be out there like spouting nonsense to the world.
Yeah.
I'd say.
Yeah.
I got a very important question for you.
Do you have aura?
I don't know what that means.
Yep.
Dude, he has a perfect answer to it. Joe Burrows got got the you have the aura. Okay. Yeah, whatever you say. Yeah, you say I got it
I got it. You're doing it more. Yeah, this is more or you're gonna out or you're spitting out or
Yeah, no, I think I think Joe's one guy that you can say the NFL that's nowhere a guy
You just know it before you know it when you see it. Jaden Daniels, aura.
Yeah, I agree.
Yeah, you like Jaden Daniels?
I like Jaden Daniels.
Think he's going to be a good quarterback?
Yeah, I think he's going to be really good.
I like his motion.
Oh, I like that.
Did you see his elbow, though?
There was a picture of his elbow.
He had, I don't know if it was bursitis or whatever.
It was all funky looking.
But I'm excited to have him, because I always
go back to a Miami Dolphins Washington football
team two- point conversion back
the year before you're drafted yeah and if we had lost that game we would have
drafted Joe Burrow to the Washington commanders yeah and that's a big
sliding my life would have been so awesome your life maybe not so great
just I know you don't like that field I got hurt on that field yeah yeah and I
don't feel that field has been the site of a lot of major injuries.
Yes, Alex Smith.
What are your thoughts on that?
The field needs to go.
Yeah.
I'm anti that.
I remember the grass being great.
So the grass is good, but sometimes they
do this thing where they just spray kitty litter down on it,
and then they spray paint the kitty litter.
Yeah, they do that in Pittsburgh.
Oh, really?
All right, Jerry, come on over.
Sometimes the college, the college
team Pittsburgh plays on Saturday and then we get there on Sunday and we're like, what's
all this sand? Right? Yeah. I guess it's kitty litter. Yeah. Kind of hope it's not, but low
class field, low class organization is Jerry. I said it, but if you're ever interested in
coming to Washington, we'd be, we would love to have you. All right, Jerry. So Jersey,
Jerry diehard Steelers fan. he said he has two questions.
He said the third question he couldn't ask.
Yeah, I'm not gonna ask the third one.
Okay.
I just don't think it'll fly.
Okay.
Let me read it. Do you have it?
I think you should ask the third one.
Oh, you deleted it. Okay. You can type it when you go back.
You're whispering to me. Whisper it to me. Real quick.
No. You can't ask that question.
Okay, ask me after.
I'm protecting you, yeah.
Here we go. And thank you, PFT and Big Cat,
for flying me out here for this.
When you played the Steelers...
You were with us yesterday.
We didn't fly you specifically.
I went home yesterday.
I know, but you were with us.
And we flew them out.
Yeah. All right, Joe.
When you play the Steelers,
can you feel T.J. Watt's presence on the outside? And if so, what does it feel like? Yeah, I can definitely feel
TJ is a unique player in this league. There's no other
defensive lineman that I have to treat like a
DB like I have to be conscious about
Where he's at because he's just gonna jump up and catch it.
Yeah.
And there's nobody else that can do that.
So would you say he's like,
is he more of a threat than Miles Garrett, you would say?
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna.
Fair, fair.
He just goes around, Miles Garrett lives in a chair.
That's the different,
you have to be alert for him in the pass game,
which is very unique, I would say.
Take the compliment.
I love that Jerry's question was literally,
what's it like feeling TJ Watt behind you?
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
My last question is, that's actually a good question, I think.
OK.
Would you rather win the Super Bowl this year,
you play like shit in it, but you never play football again,
or go to the Super Bowl for the next five years
you lose every time the Super Bowl but you win five straight MVP awards.
Oh wait he can't play football after he wins the Super Bowl?
No, his career is done.
I'm one and done.
That's it.
That's fucked up.
But it's the next five years and then I can continue to play after that?
No, no, no, no, no.
You're saying he's done playing football.
Done playing football for good, but you go out
win the Super Bowl. It's not like nothing happened. But if I win five straight MVPs
and then I could go out the sixth year and win the Super Bowl. Yes.
Tough one. That is tough. It's basically guaranteed Super Bowl have to retire 28 or 31. Nobody
doesn't have to retire. Nobody's 30. I'm gonna I'm gonna bet on myself in
that sixth year and take the I love that. I love that. Good
answer. That's good. Yeah. Thank you. That's good answer. Oh,
do you wanna do you wanna game with him? What games do you
play? I'm gaming. No, I don't play Call of Duty. Come on
Jerry. Too many. There's too many like I'll hop on there.
I'm a right shield guy. Oh my god those are the worst guys.
So I can't I can't shoot with anybody on that game because I'll hop on like once every couple
weeks and everybody's already grinded like 38 straight hours and I get they know all the
camping spots and they know all the head glitches and so I get killed like I get spawn killed and
then I just get demoralized and I don't play but I've been playing this one because
Like I get spawn killed and then I just get demoralized and I don't play.
But I haven't been playing this one because
I got to level 55 and then there's an unlock challenge
to unlock the riot shield.
Yes.
And I can't do the unlock challenge
to unlock the riot shields and then I gave up.
Fair.
But would you game with Jerry if you guys ever?
Would you game?
Yeah, I'd game with him.
All right. Love that.
All right, you'd game with him?
Yeah, 100%.
Okay, so I asked that specifically
because before we got here I said,
are you gonna ask Joe if you if you'd game with you and and Jerry said I'll never I'll never game with a bangle
No, and then the minute he's in front of your face. He's like he's like oh, yeah, I'll game with you
It's it's that tune change very quickly
He was like adamant like I'll never game with Joe. That's wrong. What are the games you play?
Really the only game I'm playing right now is
my friends from home play pro clubs on FIFA. Okay. Star Wars
Battlefront two. I've been playing a little bit. That's
kind of it. Yeah. Is that like what you do to unwind? used to
be not much anymore. Yeah. Are you getting more comfortable
being famous? I am, I would say so.
I think you are as well.
It's very difficult sometimes,
but I'm starting to just like not really give a shit anymore,
which I think is good.
And it's just a very odd life.
And so I'm starting to just,
starting to be a little more open because it came.
It became exhausting to try to keep as many things private as I wanted to.
Yeah. So I'm getting better at it.
Yeah. I mean, I can sense that you are.
It's also I always like appreciated that you kind of were open.
You're like, yeah, being famous is weird because a lot of people are famous.
Like, this is the best thing ever. It's like, it can't be the best thing ever.
So I wear sunglasses indoors,
because I'm a people watcher.
Yep.
And now when I people watch, everybody's looking at me.
So I make eye contact with everybody in the room.
Yeah.
And that is just the weirdest thing.
Yeah, and that is weird.
And like every time you look around,
you get that like jump in your stomach of,
yeah, like why are you looking at me over there?
Yeah, that's why I wear sunglasses.
Die in the corner?
Yeah, we get the people watch us.
We have infinite more fame than us.
Ours is more like, what's that freak doing in here?
He should not be here.
The best way I ever describe it is every bar we ever walk into
is a gay bar just for us.
That's it.
Every dude turns around and every girl's like,
who the fuck is that? I do I do empathize with
women and understand what they must go through. Yes. Yeah.
I've said the same thing. I sometimes feel like a hot chick.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because everyone just guys are just
looking at me. Oh yeah. Yeah. You're like, yeah. You but you
in that equation, you're like a New York ten. We're like a
Indianapolis five. Sure. Yeah. But whatever you say. And the
girls in our situation like who are these losers? Yeah you say. And the girls in our situation are like,
who are these losers?
I would imagine the girls in your situation are like,
Joe Burrow, we married.
Yeah.
A little different.
Yeah.
It is weird, though, when you talk about fame,
I don't think that the human brain was ever set up
to have millions of other people have opinions about you.
No.
Right?
So there's nothing in human history
where millions of people could even know your name and now you've got like enemies
You've got haters you've got people that love you that have never met you and it can be very very overwhelming
To be able to process that and the fact that you've reached the point where you realize you understand
I don't have to give a shit about any of this is a big thing
Yeah, it's a it's a cool step to make also. You're not that active on on social media I don't think yeah I don't that helps really enjoyed that very I'm
starting to be a little more active I would say because I was pretty active
back in the day like in high school I would make some like funny tweets mm-hmm
or some funny vines take a picture in the Cleveland Cavs Jersey yeah like
something like that it's's a great picture.
And so I'm starting to do a little more of that,
because I kind of enjoyed that.
But I just stopped, because social media is weird
when you're in my position.
Yeah.
Because no matter what you say, everyone's
going to be like, oh, that's like, don't be a group of people.
Be like, yeah, what the fuck?
Yes.
But I would also say I can tell, or I can see
why some people go crazy.
Yeah.
Especially like people that get famous when they're like 12
or like 13 or 14.
Yes.
And I empathize with that.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I think that also your perspective is probably
a lot based on your path.
Because you went to Ohio State and you weren't the starter.
And you got to live that. And then you obviously blew up at LSU, but you got to Ohio State and you weren't the starter and you got to live that and then you, you know,
obviously blew up at LSU but you got to see both sides
where if you had gone to Ohio State
and was a Heisman Trophy winner your first year,
you might have a different perspective on it.
100%, yeah.
I wouldn't be the person I am today, that's for sure.
I got to live the backup quarterback lifestyle back then
and that was fun.
Got that out of my system and then I was able
to walk in. Yeah. Yeah. Starting is a lot more fun. I would love more fun. I would love
to be back up though. I would. It seems like I mean it was pretty fun for a couple years.
I'd like to be a third string. It doesn't have to be that prepared. Yeah. Right. Because
you're really like if you get to the third string everyone's like well, we're gonna suck anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't say I was super happy
Yeah, but I did have fun. Yeah. Yes. Yeah
Yeah, and so when you say that you've been getting more active on social media, I saw that you you did your first dump
Yes, your first photo dump. Yeah, which is a big stuff
Yeah, that would be funny
I'm gonna get more active on social media. Let people see my personality.
Here's the shit that I took after eating.
That would be a dude's rock moment.
I'll just say you don't have to do it.
But if you do it, I'll support it.
100%.
Yeah, but doing the photo dump is very powerful.
We make the excuse where we say like,
Oh, I gotta unload some memory on my phone.
So here are all the pictures where I look the best
that I'm gonna put put. Yes, yeah.
That's exactly what it was. And that first picture I was
playing chess with a random guy on the street in France. And I had him on the ropes. And then I blundered my queen away. And he
dismantled me after that. And there was an international
chess master that was watching us right there. And every move that I make, he'd be no good.
And then I tried to like the first time I tried to ask him, he's like, no English.
And so he was just no chirping me in my ear.
No good. No. Every time it's tough.
And you couldn't shit talk him back.
No, I couldn't do it.
Didn't understand me.
Is there anyone else who plays chess in the Bengals locker room?
My friend Cheeto, he just went to Tennessee.
OK, he was he was always pretty good.
We used to play. Oh, no,
is that gonna is that like a storyline we need to grab on to like Joe burrow lost his chess partner?
Yeah, I did lose my chess partner. That's bad. So I'm gonna get a new chess partner. I do have to
find a new show. That would be a great way to have like that. The Matthew Stafford Cooper Cup
connection where they do breakfast every day like somebody on the team that wants maybe more
receptions should learn how to play chess every morning me and Joe play
Chess you developed its bond together. Yes, I'm with that. I like that. Yeah, that's a good way to do it
I do you have any do you have any heroes right now?
Cuz I remember when you were in college one of your heroes was deli which I always appreciate about you Matthew Delvedova
But as you're at this level, do you have like guys that you look up to in other sports still? I mean I respect
You have like guys that you look up to in other sports still. I mean, I respect people's skills and what they do.
I wouldn't say have heroes though.
I think my perspective on that has changed a little bit now that I've met a lot of those
people that were my heroes and they're just people.
And so I would say my perspective on that has changed over the last several years.
Yeah. Yeah. Hey can pop quiz
Can you name who this person is?
Zack Taylor. Okay. Yes. He knows his football. I do know my coach. There's probably a lot of people who don't
No, I'm saying not not Bengals but uh, oh I feel like he's got an unassuming look that yeah
I would agree with that when when like the national like public football fans like I know that guy's a coach
Zach Taylor's great. I feel like maybe that's a part of the reason doesn't get the respect that you yeah, I agree
I agree. He needs a thing
Yeah, that makes him stand out like I know an earring or maybe like a top hat or like a suit on the sideline
He should swap names with his brother press. Yes, cuz that would be a thing. Yeah, oh shit. That's guys names press
Yeah, and I remember the first time I met press. I was like what what do you mean your name's press? Yeah, that's an interest
It's interesting that his their parents went
Zack yeah, and then press I didn't like that name. Let's do this one. Let's go crazy. They're warming up. I think
Have the confidence after you get one you're right and then you're like, okay
Yeah, we can get a little bit crazier with a play
calling in the second quarter.
Prestaylor is a great dude, but also a crazy name.
I agree.
Yeah.
What do you think the perfect football schedule is
in terms of weeks and bye weeks?
How many games are we playing?
You tell me.
18.
18?
Got to have two bye weeks.
I like that.
And I think it'd be cool to do, I've
said this before in an interview like
Six games or like normal bi-week schedule that it is now like have it spread out, but then like week
13 do like the Pro Bowl break where you're doing like the seven on seven and
All the skills challenges like that like the NBA does because I think that would get more ratings
Yeah for the Pro Bowl. Yes, and then it would also give everybody that bi-week going into like the NBA does, because I think that would get more ratings for the Pro Bowl. Yes.
And then it would also give everybody that bye week going into the last six games of
the year.
My big idea is, especially now with the expanded college football playoff, you do the week
before Christmas, no NFL college football playoffs, give everyone a break to go do their
shopping.
Yeah, I'm with that.
Yeah.
And then you get everyone reset.
The whole league is on a level playing field for the stretch.
And then you have guys that are injured
that would be able to potentially come back
and you want your best players out there as a league.
You want them in the last six weeks of the season,
you want your best players on the field.
So I think that would be a smart idea.
I think we fixed football.
And then you get the President's Day Monday
after Super Bowl off.
Is that what that?
That would be because we go one more week.
That's what I was going to ask.
When would that Super Bowl then fall?
Because that would be a challenge,
but that would be perfect.
Perfect.
I also think that would be just good for fans, where you can
just take a weekend to be a normal human being
and not have to sit on your couch for 12 hours.
Yeah, and we have to do maybe an Amber alert out
to everyone being like, just remember, you just we have to like do like a p maybe like an amber alert out to everyone being like
Just remember you don't have to say there's no football like I would just tell my wife
I'd be like I'm gonna skip the games this week. Yeah, no game
She'd figured out into
You have to like pretend to check your phone all the time
Yeah, exactly like prop it up. You have to like pretend to check your phone all the time to look at the scores. Oh no, I'll put this away. I'll put this away. Yeah, exactly.
Like prop it up in the corner and like just play
like YouTube videos.
Yeah, right, right.
We also have a big idea.
In terms of outfits.
So you started to do some cooler outfits going to the game.
Do you bring a losing outfit?
Yes.
Okay, good.
Because that was, we've always had this problem where if you're gonna wear something? Yes. Okay, good. Because that was
we've always had this problem where if you're going to wear
something crazy, the game, love it, go for it. If you lose the
game, you got to get into sweats. Yeah, you can't show up
to the press or in the right in the outfit. If you play like
should you lose? Okay, I like this. Yeah, like Cam Newton who
we like, but he used to show up in the top hat after a loss.
Yeah, maybe don't do that. I think it depends on what
I walk in with. I wouldn't, there's definitely some that I wouldn't wear to the post game losing
presser. I would show up in my depressed sweatpants. Yeah. What's, what's the craziest thing you have?
I mean, you probably haven't planned any output, but like, what's the one that you've done that
you're like, that was, I went out of my comfort zone. I wore a, this wasn't into the tunnel,
but it was on the plane when we were playing Vegas in 21.
I wore like a sweat suit that had all these colors
and crisscross lines on them
with a Dunder Mifflin blue beanie and red.
And pulled it off.
I did pull it off.
Yeah, you did. Here's pull it off. He did.
Here's a crazy one you could do. And this is like crazy fashion
because I obviously wore the backless suit. What if one week
you just wore a t shirt that just had me and PFT his face on
it with no back, no back. I'm with that. That could have made
that could actually be that could be the losing shirt.
shame backless t-shirts. Yeah
Oh with your guys face that would be an all-time clip if you have to answer a bunch of like hard questions after
I'm freaking lost and you stand up and walk out
Yeah, oh what if you did backless pants, mmm now we're talking so that's
Maybe a fine from the NFL for that. Yeah, I would chaps? Yeah, that's just chaps. Yeah, you think you get maybe a fine from the NFL for that?
Yeah.
I would hope so.
Yeah.
Yeah, that'd be worth it.
It's like when LeBron stood up from that press conference
and he was in those shorts.
No, I don't remember that.
The suit shorts.
He had a suit on, but it was like, shoot, suit, shorts.
And everyone's like, whoa, that was what you were wearing, dude?
Interesting.
Yeah, leg reveal for LeBron.
Yeah.
Does Evan McPherson have your number yet?
Evan McPherson has my number.
OK.
All right.
Because he didn't before Super have my fears and has my number
Definitely had my number I texted him on draft night. Okay. Okay. He said that he didn't he would and I mean had to be A lie we gave him the business about that and he seemed like he was very insecure
I'm sure he was lying. So how quickly after a guy gets drafted you reach out. I
Try to reach out within a day. Is there is it undrafted guys do
Used to okay. Okay, so you got to be like what about a seventh round? Are we reaching out? Yeah, I try to okay
Okay, maybe undrafted guys get a burner burn cell phone
I just got my second phone. So I'm just now getting into the burner. Oh nice. Yeah, that's smart
Yeah, the undrafted guys. Yeah, they have to they have to kind of stick around for a week or two before you can
Yeah, as I'm getting older, you, guys are coming in and out so much.
It's definitely harder to remember everybody's names
as you're getting older, I would say.
Yeah.
Is the window open?
What does that mean?
You know what that means.
You heard that bad ass quote.
It's always open.
There it is.
You're like, yeah, the window's open if I'm here.
Yeah.
I was like, that is awesome. If you is. You're like, yeah, the window's open if I'm here. Yeah.
I was like, that is awesome.
If you don't feel like that, then why are you playing football?
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
That's your life right now.
That's also one of those honest answers that then people are like, oh, he's so cocky.
He's like, no, he's honestly showing you his confidence.
I mean, what do you want me to say?
Like, oh, we got two years left and after that we're going to suck.
And the cap's going to get tough.
Yeah.
And we got to restructure. What do you want me to say? We're going to have to make some hard decisions. You should say that. We got two years left and after that we're gonna suck caps gonna get
We're gonna make some hard decisions
Secondaries getting older we're gonna have to move some money around
Yeah, it would be funny if when you you gave like an undrafted guy your burner cell phone number And then instead of doing like at college where they do the scholarship reveals you just revealed to him
Number when he makes the roster.
He's freaking out on the last cut day, like go up and write it on the board.
Like there you go, everybody. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, there's the number.
Oh, congrats on beating the Browns, by the way. That was in twenty twenty two.
We haven't seen you. Yeah. And it was the only time you beat him.
That was the only time I've beaten them. Yeah. What is it about the Browns?
They're good, man. They got good players. They're not that good. And then they just kind of have your number. They got our number.
Yeah. Miles. I mean, Miles Garrett plays a big part of that. Yeah. Their DBS are really
good. They got Denzel, Greg Newsome, Emerson over there. And then their safeties are really
good. They got really talented players. I'm happy you beat them though, because that that's
like the one thing and this is a fan's
perspective. I know you don't give a shit, but you never want
to have like a quirky word weird stat like follow you around for
a while. I need we needed to get that one. I'm right. And we get
two more this year. Right. It's like Peyton Manning won two
Super Bowls never beat Florida. Really? Yeah, never. You I you
could say that anytime. It's like never beat Florida. Did
he start four years? Yeah. Mm hmm. Never beat Florida. Alex
Smith went like a year and a half without throwing a
touchdown pass to a wide receiver. Yeah. I do remember
that. Yeah. That was fun. You gotta get rid of those. Yeah.
You did that. You got rid of the quirky stuff. Because people
are gonna use those against you. Right. For sure. They just
throw it out there. Yeah. Never beat the Browns. Which team do
you like beating the most? I mean any division team. Yeah.
Any division team. Yeah. Steelers. Being the Chiefs, which team do you like beating the most? I mean any division team. Yeah any division team
Yeah, still being the Chiefs is fun. Yeah, burrowhead
Yeah, do you like that nickname? I mean
I'm gonna ride or die with my guys. So if they're saying it like I'm gonna go with it. Yeah, but I
Would not say I would say that. Mm-hmm. Yeah, but you wouldn't you would nod if I said burrowhead. No, you're not on my team
We can't
We can't say burrowhead. It's low-key facts. We're not allowed to say burrowhead. Okay. Um, I think it's burrowhead
I'd even this just popped in my head and we've had you know, Josh Allen
We actually had Joe buck on after this but how long did it take after the Demar Hamlin thing for you to like?
For everyone be like, okay, we're good. We can play football again. Cause that's definitely weird.
Yeah.
I mean, it got late in that week and I was like,
guys, we were playing football.
Right.
Right.
Cause like, you don't think about,
obviously the stories, the Bills and Demar,
and it kind of gets lost that you're also on that field
and in dealing with similar things.
Yeah. It was definitely a challenge I would say,
but fortunately he was all good and you know
He's doing his thing now
I'm seeing him at all these events and always happy to see him because he's a great guy
But that was that was a scary moment. Yeah for sure
Yeah, and I it was like you and Josh that really let everybody know like don't let's not play football, right?
What did Josh say? Yes, Josh. It was you and him
I wouldn't I think it was more so our coaches that kind of made that decision, but once
we left the field, I think it was a collaborative, both teams were like, what are we doing?
We're not going back out there.
Common sense prevailed.
Yes.
Thankfully.
Yes.
All right.
So I got a couple last questions.
It's been awesome.
It's great catching up with you. How's your brother doing?
My brothers are doing great. He's a big-time PMT fan big time. Yeah, he's actually that
He's the one that put me on to you guys back in the day
He would we be he would come to Baton Rouge and we would like drive to New Orleans or wherever we were driving
You throw you guys on whenever we were driving Dan, right? Dan. Yeah
Dan burrows the man. Yes, he's the connector of all this. of all this. We have to thank Dan. Yeah, he's
listening to us right now. Dan, thank you. Can't tell the story
PMT open your eyes you're driving. He just got lost there
for a second. Joe I got I got a product idea that maybe I know
that you're getting into brands recently. Okay. Is this going to
be one of your good business ideas
or one of your bad business ideas?
I don't like the tone you just used there.
They're all my best one yet.
Name one bad business idea I've ever had.
I mean, the last time I was on,
I think we had a pretty bad one.
What was that?
You told me to go to XFL.
Oh, no, no.
Yeah, that was-
Or the UFL or whatever.
Yeah, no, that was a private conversation Joe and I had.
Okay.
I was working the phones before the XFL back in 2020 and I was like, I think I can get you like 50 mil guarantees. You should do that. That was my worst business.
Let me come into the support of my co-host here. The fact that you remember that means it probably wasn't that bad or left a mark or the really bad ones do
leave a mark no they're really no anyone that sticks around you're like damn
okay maybe there was some truth in that well that yeah that league lasted several
weeks yeah you'd be as rich as you are today I was good I was gonna tie it into
to body armor okay so I've been trying to invent this product for like 10 years
called protein and it's a recovery drink and it's got protein in it but it also So I've been trying to invent this product for like 10 years called Brotein.
And it's a recovery drink, and it's got protein in it,
but it also has alcohol in it.
So you drink it after the gym as your pregame to go out.
So the good and the bad even out.
It's a neutral benefit.
No, it's just too good.
You think alcohol is bad.
Alcohol is good.
Oh.
They're both good things.
How do you guys feel today?
I got a bad.
Excellent.
Terrible. I retired. I retired yesterday. Alcohol is good. Oh, they're both good things. How do you guys feel today? I got a bad excellent terrible
I retired I retired yesterday. So so on the way over here
I was thinking about protein and I was like, you know what? I do feel terrible right now
So what if we eliminated the the alcohol it would be a good hangover remedy
Yes, because a little hair of the dog with some protein. That's true
Yeah, if you do that in the morning afterwards, I think it'd be good.
But then I was like, what if nobody makes sleep protein?
Nobody's weaponized sleep yet.
If we market aggressive sleep and you
drink a protein drink that also has maybe alcohol,
but maybe like melatonin in it, knocks you out,
overnight your body recovers.
I like this.
Right now everyone's wasting their sleep. They're not getting better when they're sleeping.
Casein protein. That's what you drink before bed. That is it. Casein. It's the slow absorbing stuff. Right? So yeah, you put that in there with whatever's in NyQuil and maybe some booze. Yes. You fall asleep and you wake up stronger every day.
Okay. You're pitching me like I'm...
Well, you got some money.
I do have some money.
Yeah.
And you got body armor on your shirt.
Yeah.
You're an entrepreneur.
I am.
Not.
I don't think I have any businesses.
No, you got money.
You don't have to be an entrepreneur.
You just have to say you're an entrepreneur.
Oh, really?
Yeah, Bill Belichick's girlfriend.
She's an entrepreneur.
Philosopher.
Yeah.
You could just say you're an entrepreneur.
Like, I'm an entrepreneur.
Okay.
CEO of life.
Yeah, so what do you think you taking it? I
Mean probably not I would have to see like a little business plan
Let body armor sort you hear the word probably there. Yeah, that wasn't a no. It's not no that was a problem
I think it's got legs, but if not you can always join the XFL again, okay, they're probably not alright
I have one last question. It's Ro back question. R H O B A C K dot com promo code take 20% off your first purchase.
Q zips, pull those hoodies, joggers, shorts, ro back.com promo code take. Also thank you
to body armor for getting us here. Uh, we love body armor, which are the only water
we drink, uh, only drinks we drink in the office and everywhere. Uh, I've seen you at
UFC fights. Are you tell me your top
two fighters right now? I love that you're a UFC fan.
Alex Pereira. He's fighting this weekend. Okay. He's we're going to air this after.
So give us a prediction. Very fun to watch. He's going to I think he's going to win. Okay.

for the next month and now I'm good I'm locked in okay and then sugar okay Sean
O'Malley he's electric fun yeah he's electric we've uh a couple times he's
good guy oh nice yeah have you ever been in the tunnel of chaos what does that
mean uh should we tell been in the tunnel of chaos? What does that mean? Should we tell them about the tunnel of chaos?
I don't know if we can talk about it's a place in Las Vegas that you go and then you tell them how much money you
Want to win and then you win that amount of money? Oh, well, that sounds like a great time
It's great. And the real reason is you're just gambling with Dana White's money. Oh, yeah
Yeah, bring me to the tunnel of chaos, please. Yes. Yes. We I mean he literally sits there. He's like, I've heard stories of his legendary gambling
Yeah, yeah, he just gives you money. He's like, okay now that you lost all your money here. Just double it next
Most places are real. You gotta go. Yeah, you keep doing that in blackjack, but since Dana I think runs that casino
He's like double it again. Yeah, Dana probably owns Vegas at this point.
Yeah, he's doing OK.
Yeah, he's doing OK.
Are you going to give me last questions?
No, I think my last question was the business opportunity
that he is probably going to accept.
Yeah.
Oh, Jerry, come back for one last question.
I want you to do a
Not the third question, Jerry.
Not the third question.
Not the third question.
But I know, because Jerry's always been thinking about about he just walked right in front of the camera.
You could you can ask him what you think about what he thinks
about your guy. Go ahead. Yeah.
Honest opinion. You're a quarterback. Rossi does he still
have some left in the tank? Yeah, I think so.
There you go. You sure?
Because I say to every- What is the division rival?
I know, but I say to everybody and they call me crazy like Jerry, you're crazy. It's over. Rusty's, you know, he-
Why stop calling him Rusty?
Rusty's not gonna be good anymore.
Time will tell.
I think he's gonna be really good.
Oh, no shit. But like, you guys make me guys make me feel like oh Jerry like you're crazy.
That's the great thing about football is you find you're gonna find out in
September who has it. Yeah true. Yeah. Prediction no.
Prediction. Can you give me a prediction? I think he'll be good. Oh no. This is a separate question.
You can put your team first.
If you were to predict right now the AFC North, you can pick Bengals first.
How do you think the other three fall?
Bengals first and then I don't care.
Yeah, that's the answer.
Right now Jerry knows you're a winner and he's upset about that.
The aura is getting to you.
There's too much aura.
Can I be honest?
I'll be honest. I, can I be honest? You've sucked into the aura. Yeah. I'll be honest.
And I don't want to, I'm going to be honest.
I never liked you.
But I'm sitting in the chair and I'm like, fuck, he's cool.
Yeah, that's the worst.
I know.
He's the best.
So now I got to, if the Steelers aren't in it, I'll root for you.
Okay.
But if the Steelers aren't in it, I can't.
Okay. That's all good. You're cool

He looks like a giant booger.

He's the worst.
That fat fuck.
Okay, meat, meat, meat.
Meat.
First pick.
I believe Big Cat does.
Okay.
Right? Do I not? cat does okay, right?
Do I not how many have we done?
three four three
We can look this up. Yeah, look that up. So let's get it right. Let's look this up
Well max is looking that up quick Charlotte the stingray update. She died. Oh, yeah, allegedly. I don't think she's dead
I think the aquarium they just got too much shit
They got caught in their live by certain podcasters and then after they said that she's not really pregnant
Then they had to pretend like she died. Okay, so I was second
Last week the last one we did I was second. So I'm first right? Yes. Okay. Yep, and it goes clockwise
Yep, so I'm last snakes back around. Okay, I will go
It goes clockwise. So I'm last.
Snake's back around.
OK.
I will go.
Meat.
Steak.
That's a good pick.
1-1.
I love steak so much.
Did you guys have any steak this past week?
I did.
A lot of steak.
I had a lot of steak.
Today at NASCAR.
Yeah.
You had daytime steak?
It's the fuck.
Steak is just always there for you.
Yeah.
It's like, and it's, we'll get into more meat.
There's a lot of great meats
But steak is that meat that I don't know if you guys feel the same way
You say like oh i'm eating a big steak tonight. Yeah, like that's a that's a get ready plan steak dinner
Let's have let's do let's do a steak dinner. Tahoe. Yeah, let's do one. Let's fucking do one the boy
So you get all steaks with that. I think so. The ribeye filet mignon. We were saying it. We could do a Mount Rushmore
of just steak. We could. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but yeah, we were saying like hamburger does not
count obviously as steak. Correct. Yeah. You're not taking beef. You're not taking cow. You're
taking steak. Yeah. Steak. Flank steak. Steak. Skirt steak. Steak. Skirt steak. Skirt steak. Oh, yeah. Skirt steak.
Little marinade.
Hank.
What about steak tips?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Steak tips.
Hank, you seem shocked that I would take steak one.
No, I'm not shocked.
I thought I had the first pick, and that was an obvious 1-1.
So you were going to go steak?
Yeah.
And I'm not doing great this year. You're fine. Oh, you're not a little in my head
Um, I'll go chicken wings
Add them one one don't overthink it. Yeah, don't overthink. Okay, good. That's like you eat
I think probably chicken wings more than steak. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's nice
Yeah, but that's no I don't mean everyone probably eats chicken more than steak. Chicken wings is my favorite.
Actually healthier. It is. It's too much. It is. I would take it one one in a food
draft. Or actually, you should probably more steak because it's low carbs.
Thanks. Yeah. Burgers. Aha. Good pick. Good pick. Good pick, Max.
All right. Also had some burgers this weekend.
I'm going to go bacon.
Bacon. I feel like that's a that's a good fourth pick.
And then I'm going to follow it up with hot dogs.
Hot dogs. You don't like hot dogs. I like hot dogs.
Now I use as a meat, though, the quality of meat in a hot dog is not good.
Pft. In Chicago it is it I love hot dogs
So I have a problem with this, but I was hoping I was gonna get burgers and hot dogs. Yeah
Yeah, that would have looked good on a graphic Hank. Does it taste good?
Yeah, it's good meat then I don't care if it's lips asshole whatever they put into it
I don't want to know it tastes good and I used to I used to be like a hot dog not a hater
But I used to kind of put hot dogs to the
side. But then you have a good hot dog and you're like, Holy shit, this is actually good meat.
Trust tree, I grilled a lot this week for my family and every single time I grilled the grill
was like kind of where we were on vacation, the grill was kind of like out of view of the kitchen
area. Every single time I grilled
I just ate an entire hot dog or sausage Wow grilling and then came back and I was like
Dinner's ready. Oh, I'm hungry hot dogs are great. Just sitting there eating it and just not letting it you know
Just way to go shouldn't have cleared the Mount Rushmore meats be something you don't need condiments for I don't need a condiment for
I need some sport peppers. Wait Hank. You don't need condiments for I don't need a condiment for I need some sport peppers wait Hank you don't need any sauce or chicken wings no
listen we'll let we had dry wings tonight dry wings no seasoning those have
a little seasoning I believe on yeah I don't think it's just yeah Hank you
walked into that one yeah but you don't eat hot dogs without a bun well his
hamburgers too all right there's a, bad point by Hank for the record.
I think it's a good point. I think a real, I think a real meat attition would say that
the best needs, you don't need anything else for the great bet. The best thing you've ever
had. You're, I don't think you're a real meat rider because I think that I think that now
it's getting personal. Yeah, I love hot dogs. I love hot dogs. I eat them raw, but most people don't
Can we put them as glizzies? You know more raw dogs? No, I think they have to be hot dogs two buns
Two buns now. I used to do that. Okay. What Max Jason bun? I'll take fried chicken
That's a good pick Max. Good pick. I also had that on there
Okay strong start by Max. I'm going to go
with come on Hank. That'd be a good one. All right. Should I go with option one or two?
Two one. I don't know. Just pick. Ribs. Fuck!
That's a good pick.
Damn it!
Hank, let me ask you.
Do you put any condiments under ribs?
No.
What was the other one?
No sauce.
No sauce.
Don't worry about it.
So I agree, Hank, that ribs should go over hot dogs.
Yes.
I love hot dogs.
Ribs should have gone over hot dogs.
I had ribs higher on my list.
I just went with hot dogs.
Ah, fucking A, man.
Damn it. Ribs is good.
Great pick. That was gonna be my pick.
I thought for some reason I was gonna get all the way back.
Ribs would have been...
Okay.
I'll go with my pick.
Come on. Hey, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't
do that. I didn't do that to you. I didn't do that to you, my friend. I will go with
Duck. That's a good pick. Doc's a great meat. Wait, no. Explain your face.
That is a bougie pick.
Uh, no.
What?
Yeah, duck is a bougie meat pick.
Duck's not a bougie pick.
It's Mount Rushmore of meats.
Listen, in all honesty, duck-
The best meats you get are at bougie places.
That's true.
Duck is fantastic.
Yeah.
Duck is in my top three foods.
Nah, yeah.
Alright, fine.
I'll go back.
Listen, this is- No, no, no. Duck, duck, duck. No, no, no. No, yeah. All right, fine. I'll go. I'll go back. Listen, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Sausage or hot dog for the rest of your life?
Oh, man.
Sausage, easy.
There's so many different options for sausage.
Yeah, because sausage you can get.
Yeah, you get breakfast sausage, you get dry sausage.
Italian sausage with pasta.
It's sausage without Italian sausage.
I'd say hot dogs.
Pepperoni and onions.
I'd say hot dogs, too.
I don't know.
Rest of your life. It's a rest your life one
It's not even close think of all the cookouts that you would have to go to not eat anything
But think of all the time nobody talking about you
Like I
Would go hot dogs. It's sausage sausage. You're so good, man. They're so good, okay?
I'm gonna go I can't believe you took what was your other one tell us your other one brisket, okay?
Good pick good pin happy. I got it back
Yeah, probably I probably like brisket more than ribs. I just knew I wasn't gonna get ribs, but brisket is my favorite favorite barbecue food
Absolutely delicious. Yeah seasoning knows I knew how to if I knew how to make one. I would do it all the time smoking meats
We're smoking a bunch of meats
Okay, this is gonna be a good. This is good Mount Rushmore
I'll go pull pork. Yep had it on there had it on there. Good pick. You were gonna go sausage. Oh, yeah
I mean, I just started giving you all of my arguments for why sausages. Yeah, I mean, it's the best
It's such a versatile meat. I ate so you can have it on sausages breakfast lunch and dinner It can be the main of every's the best. It's such a versatile meat. You can have it for breakfast lunch and dinner
It can be the main of every of every meal. It's a great point
Great point about my pick
All right my next pick I'm gonna go dino nuggies I'm gonna go with lobster
What do they call it claw Claw meat? Tail meat?
I don't know. Good Friday, you can eat lobster. You can't eat meat.
It's a meat.
I thought for some reason I should have given you guys more credit that you weren't going to go there.
No, I had it on the list. I had it on the list. Absolutely.
Max is just too, his fucking caveman.
Well, I just didn't think. He thinks duck and lobster are on the list absolutely max is just to his fucking caveman. Well, I just didn't think I know duck and lobster
No, no, I just don't think fishes. I think fish is a different category
We asked the Pope if he approves is a lobster fish
It's seafood. It's not a fish
Fish is also meat. Yes, there is also I disagree. I know I would what are you talking? I would take meat
I grew I grew up saying that meat is different than fish like you could eat meat you can you grew up in a dumb household
You can eat seafood on on Good Friday. I'm actually in line
You're dad also because you can't eat soup Good Friday isn't a meat draft yet. Good Friday. You can't eat meat
Memes back me up. Were you loud? Were you were you allowed to eat fish on Fridays and let yeah fish fish fish
Were you allowed to eat fish on Fridays and Lent? Yeah, fish on Fridays.
Fish Friday, yeah.
Yeah, fish Friday.
Because you can't eat meat.
I understand.
You can eat lobster.
Lobster.
Yes, you can eat lobster on Fridays and Lent because you can't eat meat.
But if you're a vegetarian, you don't-
Yeah.
Well, no.
But there's pescatarians that say they don't eat meat but I eat fish.
But if you say you're a vegetarian-
But they say I don't eat meat.
If you say you're a vegetarian and I don't eat meat, that person is not going to eat fish. But if you say you're a vegetarian, I don't eat meat. That person is not going
to eat lobster. But the pescatarian would say, I don't. That's different. That's what
they would say. I don't eat meat. I eat fish. Yeah. Those people suck. Yes. Lobster meat
is considered meat because it is a crustacean and a type of seafood. I actually might hate
the pescatarian's more than do vegetarians, because at least stand
on something. Like if you're not going to eat steak and sausage and ribs and all these
things, don't then also eat like lobster. Stand on something. Just be no meat.
We haven't had a contentious Rushmore yet. This is good.
There's a lot on the board. I like this. It's usually you're scraping at the bottom of the
barrel. This is like a lobster.
OK, you have another pick?
Yeah, my last pick, titties.
What?
Titties is meat.
Great choice.
Thanks, Max.
I think titties are meat.
When was the last time you ate titties?
You suck on them.
Yeah, but that's not eating them.
I think titties counts as meat. So are you saying that you're a cannibal? No, just saying titties.
Okay. You can look at them.
I don't know. I mean, that's okay. We do have a lot of meats left.
I think titties are so many meats left. I'm like really struggling for what to go with
here. We have to deal with PFC just saying titties.
I mean, that just took him out like no I would actually
Know I love titties that's a panda pick we've
Graphic that's that wins you like that's Lizzy's and titties. That's not a meat. I which one do you like more?
I think that you guys I think this makes his watch is Lizzy's first significantly worse, but is titties a meat
No, I think that you could take significantly worse. But is titties a meat? No.
I think that you could take chicken breast.
Titties is meat.
In what way?
We're talking about meat that you eat.
Is it the Mount Rushmore meat that you eat?
Oh my god.
Factor fiction.
Well, I don't think I've ever heard.
Why'd you do, like, swim meat?
Yeah, when have titties ever been referred to as meat?
Good question. Like, a cock has been referred to as meat? Good question.
Like a cock has been referred to as a meat?
Yep.
Titties have never, I've never heard someone say,
look at those meat.
Look at those meaty titties?
No.
What?
No, I don't want to look at those.
I say that all the time.
Maybe like a pepperoni gets thrown
in the pair somewhere there, but.
OK, all right, listen, if you guys don't want titties
on that list, because I think I think it's just not a meat.
It's not a meat.
That's the only problem.
Explain.
No titties is a meat.
We can.
Yeah.
Slide.
Make us a pitch on the spirit of this draft titties being
a meat.
They're made out of meat and fat.
No, they're not made out of milk.
So you're a cannibal?
No, I've never eaten them.
Then how would it get on your Mount Rushmore?
I enjoy looking at the meat.
I'll take it off the list.
No, no, keep it on.
If this is going to be a big thing.
No, it's not. You keep it on.
I want you to keep it on. I think it makes your list worse.
It's not. It just doesn't make any sense. I feel like putting titties on any list is you to keep it sounds like I think it makes your list worse It's not it just doesn't it doesn't make any sense with what I want
That's why I feel like putting titties on any list who's gonna make it pop
Yeah, no, I but I think then when you see them stacked up against each other of like yeah, you're like my titties
It's gonna be like oh, why did he just say titties? It's a curious. Yeah
Okay, I'll take it off. I'll take what do you think means you be the judge
I was so confused when he said it I'll take it off the list
no you keep it on I want him to keep no no I'm I I'm taking out
is he keeping on it's been under protest super long to live
I I vote in I want him to keep it on I think it makes his list
I vote no I vote yes memes I. I think it makes his list worse. I vote no. I vote yes. Memes?
I don't think it should count. Okay. Cause I just don't get it. Okay. Yeah. All right.
Go something else then. Memes will be the arbiter of these. Memes, you're the judge
now going forward cause you're the only one who's not done that picks here. So he, Commissioner
Memes has to be the guy now. Okay. Right. Should we all enact them? Yep. Commissioner memes. Commissioner memes. Yes. Now you can you admit
that was that you were trying to get cute with it? I'm getting cute with it. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean that was I was never arguing that I wasn't getting cute. So I guess instead I
will do a smoked turkey leg.
Okay, that's a good pick.
Turkey leg.
I had it on there.
Walk and snap.
Had it on my list.
That's a good pick.
That's a good pick.
Me?
Yeah.
I'm gonna go meatballs.
Ooh, okay.
I didn't even think about meatballs.
You like the big ones or the little ones?
I just like a nice homemade meatball.
Yeah, think about the meatballs. meatballs if you go to Italian restaurant
You got a meat you got a couple meatballs for the table to start the meal really judge how an Italian place is
And I had others that I thought of but meatballs is is is the true answer to myself
And I went and I went true to myself instead of pandering to the pub and no I mean the public loves meatballs
Yeah, the public calls meatballs. Everyone loves everything on this list. It's meat.
It's going to be a close list. It's going to be a close list and I think
my only concern is like I would probably put a fish here but I also think there's going
to be a lot of people who when they see the list they're going to be like fish shouldn't
count as a meat. I disagree with those people.
I disagree with those people too but disagree with those people too, but-
Like lobster was a very good pick.
I agree.
I agree, but I don't want to then add a different fish to it.
I'm just going to go, like Max, with my gut, salami.
Okay.
Good pick.
I could eat a whole-
Yeah.
Multiple rolls in a day.
I got a question about a technicality.
Ass?
No. No. I also had ass on my list. I thought about
a technicality pick as well, but I just went away with it. What was your technicality one?
I thought about saying prime rib, but I thought it was too close to steak. That is steak,
yeah. Yeah. Okay, here's my technicality question. Chicken parm? It's fried chicken. Is it? Okay.
It is, but it isn't.
But it isn't. But okay, that's fine.
I mean, it's steak. If we're doing that, yeah.
No, no, that's fine. That's why I asked.
So it's a specific type of meal, but the main ingredient is fried chicken breast.
That's why I asked.
Okay. Shit.
That's why I asked. Um, okay. Shit. Now, hey, now Max in my head about being bougie. He's in my head about being bougie. So bougie max. Yeah, I do have sausage on there. Don't let
don't let I can't believe this one lasted. Lamb. Fine. Lamb is good. I like lamb. Lamb's good. It's a good occasional.
Lamb chops are...
Yes. I should have gone pepperoni.
There's so many good ones still out there.
Would gyromede have counted?
I mean turkey. I was going to do turkey, but then PFT kind of just did a specific turkey,
so I didn't think that would count. Alligator.
Prosciutto.
Ham.
Ham. Ham. Prosciutto ham ham ham prosciutto
Pepperoni I almost went full Italian there was a part of me that was wanted to do chicken cutlets meatball prosciutto salami
Crab crabs good blue crab is awesome tuna
Mussels tuna fish like but the actual tuna shrimp like tuna steak always shrimp is good
Shrimp is a great one
I know what oysters of Canada's meat. Yeah, I mean if we're adding seafood. It's all seafood on the table
Yeah, so prasada scallop. Yeah, gabagool. I was on my Italian lesson, but then it started to get competitive at first
So I was like alright. I should straw me strum is good
corned beef
There's a lot of good meats out there There's a lot of good pork roll
You know go turkey before you said turkey leg so turkey is gonna do turkey and very very thin though
Yeah, very real thin very very thin meatloaf
Love you a good meatloaf is good.
A good meatloaf is good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good anything is good.
True.
Also true.
Most meatloaf is bad.
I would say most.
I would take almost everything on our list over meatloaf.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
If you're like, hey, what do you want for dinner?
All 12 of our 12?
Yes.
I mean, lose great less great 16 of our picks would go
before meatloaf chicken tenders kind of fried chicken yeah cutlet fried chicken
yeah chicken nuggets why do you have counted you have regular chicken didn't
go huh just chicken breast yeah they're like grilled chicken well and chicken
wings yeah chicken breast can be dry though would wagyu have counted
I should know cuz that's no that's steak that's steak. Yeah, yeah that really fucked you up. Yeah, you had one one
You came back with ribs
Ribs good. I thought I was getting lobster at the end
I slept on ribs. I should not have done done I should not have done hot dogs hot dogs is how you got titties
great third yeah but I think hot dogs led to titty yeah I think if I got hot hot
dogs it would have played because it would have gone burgers then dogs yeah
on the list so the combo of the two would have been like oh, that's a strong start. Yeah
Okay, good list good good job boys
We got anything else. Let's go to chill week, so we'll be in Tahoe
We're gonna we'll be live from Tahoe on Wednesday and Friday got some big interviews planned. Why do you keep you guys have clean laundry?
No, cuz I yeah, I just got back so I've got a suitcase
I was planning on just putting directly into the
wash. I do that every time. I actually don't ever not have a
suitcase that's full of clothes. Yeah, it's either full of dirty
clothes that has just been sitting, waiting to go in the
laundry the day before I travel or they're clean clothes because
I'm going to travel. Yeah, I just looked at my suitcase and I
thought if it was good enough for Greece, it's good enough for
Tahoe. Yeah, I'll just run it back. Yeah, it's gonna look
at the weather. It's gonna be hot. It's gonna be hot out there. But uh, yeah, I'm excited

First time on a boat, right? Yes. What did you, what did you wear, Shane? Um, I wore
some nice, nice khaki color pants and a, a new vintage Charger shirt. Oh, nice, like
Carbondale. Just got off Depop. It was a sick shirt. It was
a sick shirt, but it's just very funny because I made up the lie like two months ago that
Shane only, when he goes out he just puts on his best Charger shirt. And then Max sent
me a picture for July 4th. Shane just risen it up with his best Charger shirt on. Well,
to be fair, I didn't have a Charger shirt before I got this Charger shirt.
So it is my only Charger shirt.
What does that mean?
You wear Charger's gear every day.
I only have sweatshirts.
That's a shirt?
I have no Charger shirts.
I have sweatshirts and I have jerseys.
God.
Those are both shirts.
Now you got your shirt.
This is my only shirt.
I'd like to see that Charger shirt in Tahoe.
I will wear it in Tahoe.
It would also be cool if the Charger sent me more shirts.
Oh.
Oh.
Are you listening, Chargers sent me more shirts. Are you listening Chargers?
He's that he's a double X L.
How about this Shane? I'll, I'll fund your Chargers.
First thing Shane's ever said on the show is how to get some Chargers
merch.
I'll give you a full shopping spree in Chargers merch if you promise and you
have to give this promise that every first date you go on for the next year
is Chargers.
What does that mean, like a Chargers game?
No, what are you talking about?
You said every first date has to be Chargers.
That's what you wear.
Yeah, that's what you wear.
To a first date?
Yeah, so like even if you go,
oh we're going to a classy spot, Chargers polo.
I don't know.
All right, the offer's out there.
I just want to be clear. I didn't ask for it.
I just said it would be cool.
Yeah, but I'm telling you,
if the Chargers don't come through,
I will come through with that one stipulation
that you go Chargers on every first date.
Can I think about it?
Yeah, absolutely. You have as much time as you want.
Perfect.
