Starting point is 00:02:39 Oh no, we're gonna rock it down to ELA trick I value and then we'll take it higher It's a lot my take is ended by barstown sports Welcome to part of my take today is Monday July 3rd and PFT is Monday, July 3rd and PFT. We should have been NBA players because holy shit they're getting paid and it is awesome. Yeah, it really is. Like some of the names that are getting these huge, huge deals, it just you scratch your head,
Starting point is 00:03:17 but then you're like, oh yeah, they actually have to spend that money. I don't want to call Michael Malone a liar when he said that we're running this shit back with Bruce Brown. I think he said at the parade, like damn right, Bruce when he said that we're running this shit back with Bruce Brown. I think he said at the parade like damn right, Bruce is coming back. We're running this shit back. Anything you say at a championship parade should be that's like that's client patient confidentiality. You can't can't hold that against anybody. You're drunk at a parade. You're going to say what you want.
Starting point is 00:03:40 And yeah, good for him. I think he got like 40 million and the nuggets could only offer him like eight million a year. So they tried to keep a big cat. They tried to keep Bruce Brown. I mean, we said this right after they won the title because remember Bruce Brown was the one who said it and we're like, you know, when the worst time to negotiate a new deal is, is like seconds after you win a title with your boys
Starting point is 00:04:01 and your trends in champagne because Bruce Brown the night he won a title said, I want to stay stay it's a perfect fit and money is not everything the money will come so I'm not worried about that right now I don't hold that against someone so ever because 45 million is a lot more money than 8 million a year yeah yeah though he said all the right things but at the end of the day when you're looking at 45 million next to $16 million, you'd have to be a fucking moron, not to take the 45.
Starting point is 00:04:28 So congratulations to him. The biggest loser in free agency is Jeremy Grant. Jeremy Grant got 150 million to return to the trio blazers. Now on paper, you're like, wow, that's a great deal. But the contract was the straw that broke the camel's back for Dame. He was like, this is what we're doing in free agency? We're resigning Jeremy Grant. Yeah, fuck you guys, I'm out.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And now, Dame Willard is in a, so I said I was gonna do it. And I did it right away. I was like, Dame, no loyalty left in the NBA. Like, can't believe he would do this. People reacted accordingly very upset at me. But the interesting thing with Dame right now is he wants to go to the heat and the heat don't have the best offer and now you have like blazers and heat fans
Starting point is 00:05:17 arguing online where heat fans can basically be like well no we want him and he's going to be ours and there's nothing you can do about it. And the blazers being like, wait, we can't get any free agents no matter what. So we have to get like a ton of draft picks. And that will just be a showdown for the next month. It feels like, like, can the blazers actually get a good deal or do they just have to be like, the theory that the blazers
Starting point is 00:05:41 should treat Dame correctly so that they could get future free agents is the dumbest theory in the world correctly so that they could get future free agents is the dumbest theory in the world. They're not gonna get future free agents. They should get whatever they can get because as good as Dame was for them, he's the best blazer of all time, incredibly loyal. Seems like a great dude.
Starting point is 00:05:58 You can't just be like, oh, because you were a great dude, we'll just take Tyler Hero and call it even. Yeah, this is my favorite people online, the ones who are like, well, why would anybody ever sign with Portland after watching what they're gonna do to Dame if they don't send him to the place that he wants? That's a good point, it's a great point,
Starting point is 00:06:13 and we'll follow that away in the future when they don't get good free agents. It's because of how they treat a Dame. And it's nothing to do with the franchise, nothing to do with the fact that people don't wanna play in Portland. It's just straight up how they're going to treat Dame. They really have no love like,
Starting point is 00:06:26 Dame doesn't really have any leverage in this situation. He's just saying, I would like to play for the heat. Can we just make that happen? And I guess like if he has, he has done a lot for that organization. And so they might just try to do a masala and be like, okay, here we go. But like if you're a GM, your job is not to treat players that have requested trades away from you as good as possible. Your job is to try to win basketball games in the future.
Starting point is 00:06:53 And if that's going to be to the heat, whatever, maybe they'll trade them. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they'll trade them somewhere else. And then it maybe is the three way trade. And not only that, we're not, it's not even shooting on Portland because I think outside of like four or five franchises in the NBA, there's not even shitting on Portland because I think outside of like four or five franchises in the NBA, there's not a lot of franchises that are like destinations for free agents.
Starting point is 00:07:10 That's just how the league works. It's not like, there's a lot of cities in the NBA that guys aren't being like lining up to go to. I mean, I fell for it when I thought LaBron and D Wade were gonna go to Chicago. It's like, well, that was fucking stupid. But yeah, the blazers should do whatever's best for them. I have another biggest loser for UPFT.
Starting point is 00:07:30 It's Kyrie Irving Haters, because Kyrie Irving, who has played sparingly for the better half of like what, three or four years going now, got paid three years, $127 million to stay with the Mavericks. I don't think they were bidding against anyone, except Luca Doncher's happiness. Like I think it was just we have to sign him
Starting point is 00:07:53 because we traded for him and we have to do it now. Otherwise, we're not gonna get another star and Luca might leave. So the Kyrie Irving Haters probably have to eat one here because he got a lot of money for not playing a lot in the last few years And I think Kyrie's leverage was that he was he was gonna take a visit to Phoenix He like wanted to drive to pay for two million dollars. Yeah, he wanted he wanted to get on an RV and go to a sweat lodge Or have some peyote or something like that go on a vision quest out in Phoenix
Starting point is 00:08:21 And that was enough to make Mark Cuban swim be like like, we can't have him lead the state. We got to keep him locked down. So yeah, he got paid his shitload of money. Fred Van Vliet, good for Fred Van Vliet. That's Houston. That's something. Houston did a lot of things in free agency. And they did the most with Van Vliet.
Starting point is 00:08:37 I forget how much money they're paying him. It was about 200 million somewhere in that vicinity. Three for 128. Three for 128, he's a culture setter. Three for 128. Three for 128. He's a culture center. So they're paying for a culture. They're paying for the culture. So he's getting like super max money,
Starting point is 00:08:51 but not just the, he's not getting five years. He's gonna have another bite of the apple soon. But good for him, I don't really understand it because they just drafted a point guard. Culture. Yeah, so he's gonna, it's like paying culture $123 million for Udonas Hazeln if he was actually good. So like, you know, it's an adult.
Starting point is 00:09:11 You're basically getting an adult in the room to be like, hey, this guy actually knows how to be a pro. We have a very young talented team. We'll pay him a lot of money to hopefully, you know, some of that young championship calorie want a title in Toronto, rub off on everyone. I like that. Yeah, he know, some of that young championship gallery, wanna title in Toronto, rub off on everyone. I like that.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Yeah, he's, yeah, just a role model. They bought a role model in free agency for, what's it, Aimen Thompson? So he's gonna, yeah, I mean, it's a good fit. And especially if you look at like Van Vleet and the money that he was making in Toronto, I don't know what state income taxes in Canada, probably pretty high. That he is going to be rich as fuck in Houston. So good for him. Yeah, these deals are awesome.
Starting point is 00:09:52 They obviously, the meme goes around where they have like, Chris Middleton signed for three years, $102 million in Michael Jordan made, like $93 million in his career, which it actually, if you take out the last two years with the bulls Michael Jordan and the other like 14 years of his career made $30 million. So I love those memes I actually think we should go one further. I think Tyree's Halburden and Lamello both signed supermaxes
Starting point is 00:10:19 So it was five years up to 260 million dollars. So they're gonna pay like $50 million a year. Dan Marino's career earnings was 51.5 million. John L. Ways was 45 million. Now it's obviously different sport, different error, everything, but I think just for memes, memes you're on this right now, we need to just find like Babe Ruse career earnings and be like,
Starting point is 00:10:45 look at this. Keras Lever is making like 16 times what Babe Rooft made his entire career. Yeah, just for the reach. Yeah, I like that. Are like compared compared to them to like people in the military are teachers. Like the average teacher makes $37,000 a year, but Keras Lever is going to be his grandkids grandkids are gonna be set for life. It's basically, it's basically whatever someone does a tweet, like 35 years ago, die hard came out in theaters, wow.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Yeah, time, yes, time keeps going. Money keeps going up, time goes differently. It's just a bunch of those memes back and forth about how much these money these guys are making. It is cool. They are making so much money. Like all of it, it's good for them and I love it and it is awesome to see like some of these contracts come down to your site. Holy fuck, this guy's getting what? And fuck it. I mean, who Dante DeVincianzo just got what, four years, 50 million for the next? Like, why not?
Starting point is 00:11:47 Why not? I think the moment that I realized that like, to be upset about any of this is so stupid, it was when Tony Snell a few years ago got paid like $44 million over like three years or four years to be with the box. And it was like, cool, fuck it. You can't, you can't do that.
Starting point is 00:12:03 What are you going to do? Like demand that the Milwaukee bucks sign a bunch of teachers and firefighters? No, you just got to get your game up. Like we should have been basketball players just going back to the beginning. We should have like, if anything, this is a lesson to everyone out there listening.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Like get your game up. Don't be a podcaster like us. Be an NBA player like them. Yeah, people who are like, how come the NFL players don't get this much money unless you're like a quarterback? Well, because there's more points in basketball. So you get paid by the points.
Starting point is 00:12:31 It's pretty simple math, guys. And punt pass and kick is very expensive on the bottom line for NFL franchise. It is. Putting that on has to be a headache. Yeah. But yeah, shout out to all the players. It just got rich as fuck today. That's, you know, good, good for the players and just got rich as fuck today. That's you know good good for them
Starting point is 00:12:46 We also should mention James Harden. I think this is Three trade requests in four years So he opted in with the Sixers, which actually is a good move for the Sixers because they can get something for him I think James Harden did it because he's like I don't like anyone who has salary cap money is probably not going to be good. So I'd rather opt in and then trade and be able to play for a team that's good. He wants to go to the Clippers, which would be the funniest place for him to go. I don't I can't imagine like if they added Kyrie, that would be the perfect all like least
Starting point is 00:13:23 dependable team. Maybe Ben Simmons as well. Oh, weirdo. Kyrie Paul, Paul George. But I think we said, I don't know if we were, I think we were off there when we were talking about it, PFT, but like the Clippers have become like the greatest legacy changing thing for Paul George. He's becoming, if James Harden goes to the Clippers,
Starting point is 00:13:44 Paul George is easily like the most likeable and most dependable player they have. Yeah, yeah, because they would have, they're at a Westbrook. They would have, uh, then this case, James, who is dependable, who is dependable, maybe not like, is dependable. You know exactly where you're getting, I think he's getting like $3 million a year for the slippers. Like he's getting paid nothing. And then obviously you've got Kauai who I don't think is Kauai a basketball player? Sometimes sometimes he's still playing. He's not unlikeable. He's just not dependable.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Just weirdos. They've just got like a bunch of weirdos on the clippers, which is that's exactly how I like my clippers. I don't like my clippers to be feisty and to be like the team that has expectations on the clippers. I don't like my clippers to be feisty and to be like the team that has expectations. The clippers should always be just very, very strange basketball players grouped into almost like you put a bunch of different animals inside a mason jar and you make them get along. Well, it's also perfect because they're opening up a new arena. So they're like, well, we need guys to be able to sell seats in this new arena. And that's essentially what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:14:44 They're just collecting as many guys as they can. It doesn't make sense basketball-wise, but they're like, look at all the names we have, come by season tickets. Yeah, but like that strategy. It's a good strategy for them. Who else? Who are the other big winners?
Starting point is 00:14:58 Oh, Drake, the Warriors. They're the Warriors. Shout out to Lakers, the Lakers keeping their young guys together. Yeah, Rui, Austin Reeves. They got Gabe Vincent as well. I actually think the Lakers like have a pretty damn good team. It is funny how we immediately forget about the team that just won the title. Everyone's like, look at, you know, Eric Gordon went to the sun. Suns are filling out their roster and look at the Lakers. Like, well, yeah, the nuggets are still the best team. Let's pump the brakes until we start playing ball
Starting point is 00:15:29 and we see that they're drastically different, which I don't think they will be. But yeah, the Lakers, I'm trying to think, oh, yeah, the Warriors getting Dremont Green. I like that just because Dremont Green being in a different uniform where it's sucked. Like if he was on the Maverick's, he would have sucked. It's gonna be weird though.
Starting point is 00:15:45 How long was his contract? His contract's four years, a hundred million. Yeah, so the last two years of that contract, he's not gonna be good at all. But I mean, I feel like he's not good offensively already. Like he's just gonna keep doing, like being Drey Montgomery and making it all work defensively and they're like, I like teams even though if it makes no sense,
Starting point is 00:16:09 they're like, we're gonna keep it all together, we're gonna try to eek out one more. And what's the worst that happens? Like all of them age poorly and we have like a sick, you know, like retirement night, all of them together. I think there's not really many other options. I think it's gonna be cool to have Dremont around once Chris Paul starts getting a little too chippy once he tries to take like too much of that leadership role. Yeah, it's going to be someone's getting hit in the face, someone's
Starting point is 00:16:32 getting hit in the dick. Yeah, so Max Orhank, because you guys kind of share teams, James Harden, do you want him to stay on the Sixers? I don't think I think he's going to start the season on the Sixers. I think it's going to be a Kevin Durant kind of situation where he might get treated later in the season, but I don't think anyone's going to offer what Darryl Mori wants for this year for the Sixers thoughts. That's exactly what I was going to say. I said it first. I know, I was going to say that too. You have to, were you going to say that? Yeah, I was just going to say that like James Harden,
Starting point is 00:17:09 he might just have to eat his way out of town. That's really the only, that's the last shot that he has left in his bag right now, just get fat again, which by the way, that was the, that was the funniest trade move of all time. Like, oh, you're not going to trade me. Well, I have it in my power to get fat over the span of two weeks. Yes, oh, you're not creating me. Well, I have it in my power to get fat over the span of two weeks. Yes. Yeah. More would be obese. Yeah. And Pat Bev also on the team,
Starting point is 00:17:31 which is huge for for our guy, Ron, who's a six years fan, having Pat Bev be on his favorite team and doing a podcast with him. But Max, do you want James Harden to play the entire season with the Philadelphia 706ers? From the reports of the guys that we would get back, I would rather have James Harden. Like, okay, I don't, that makes sense. I don't need, I don't need Norman Powell instead of James Harden if you're thinking logistically of like trying to have a winning basketball team. I don't think that it's going to stick. I think eventually Mory's going to get something out of it, but I think it's going to stick. I think eventually Mory's going to get
Starting point is 00:18:10 something out of it, but I think it's going to probably be by like around Christmas time. Okay. Yeah, I feel like that's that it's going to, there's going to, Darryl Mory doesn't feel like a guy who's just going to trade someone just because he wants to be traded. No. Well, I don't like that James Hartton wants to leave us. Like if you you would think that if you're a good team that has a chance to win a championship, you'd want to stay, right? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you guys, it's a great window, right? And that's not making that's not adding up to me. It's a great point. I love this city and I just want like, I don't, I don't understand why someone want to leave it. Do you think, do you think
Starting point is 00:18:42 he has less faith in the team than you do as a fan? I just think getting the opportunity to play with the MVP like that's you don't get that opportunity every now every every year. So why would you be running literally running from it as fast as you can? Hey, don't you don't you want guys that want to be there? Yeah, definitely. How you feeling Max? No, no, no you feeling, Max? Who's ain't no foam on the gun? No, no, I agree. I mean, I'm happy that I have another six years fan in here to, you know, just do, do
Starting point is 00:19:14 some discourse on, on my, on my six years. Okay. What else? Derek Rose. He's returning to Memphis. That, that tells me that Jerry Reinsorfe has really lost his fastball, not the fact that he can't field competitive teams in both sports city owns, but the fact that he wasn't, like let's just bring Derek Rose back just to
Starting point is 00:19:36 fill the United Center because that felt like that was going to be the move. But yeah, I like him. Oh, and we forgot Dylan Brooks. Dylan Brooks. Yeah, I hope you yeah Hope you hope you have fun learning Chinese, buddy turns out Four years 80 million for the rockets is a little different than going going abroad. I mean I like that for the rockets too You got Fred Van Vlieto basically be the adult the Roman Dylan Brooks to be like the past
Starting point is 00:20:02 Yeah, I didn't Brooks. There's no chance that he's as bad as we all remember him as being in that last series. He's not, he's a good professor. He's not bad, he's just a dumbass. And you can hopefully, yeah, he's not dumb by his nature. He's not bad at basketball by like as a person, but he's just stupid. And so you can fix stupid sometimes.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Yeah. And you, also, every single team needs one, like, a rationally confident, stupid guy who thinks that they can stop LeBron in the seven game series. That's not a bad thing to happen. Have. Like, you want one of those guys. You don't want a whole team of those guys, but you need one of those guys who thinks
Starting point is 00:20:48 they're the best player in the world and can go toe to toe with people for a game or two. Yeah, the big John Thompson quote. You can win a chip with two of those guys. If you have five of them, they'll get you fired. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Okay, any other NBA stuff? It was fun, free agency, fun time, contracts everywhere.
Starting point is 00:21:09 I grade free agency overall. I give it a B minus this year. Well, you know what it is, is like, I was thinking about it because I was like, God damn it, we're seeing MBA did free agency not on a holiday weekend when like, you know, there's a lot of sports all year round and like this is the one stretch we can just bank on being like not a lot going on but it's actually smart for them
Starting point is 00:21:31 because there's nothing going on and the NBA can just have free agency for a couple days and everyone freak out and then forget about who got signed until like Christmas day. Yeah I just I wish that Kyrie had gone somewhere else that would have turned this from b-minus into like an a- because that would add a little extra drama to there too many guys resigning with their own teams from my liking i like i like the this league drama that goes along with it i'll care that cal kuzmus coming back for a hundred bill yeah this league big time this league um okay other other news, Ricky Fowler's back. Big time. Big time. No one watched it.
Starting point is 00:22:07 People watched it on their phone, CBS. I do not understand what happened. They basically they had a weather, uh, inclement weather coming in Detroit. So the rocket mortgage tournament, they started everyone at like eight in the morning and the coverage didn't begin till three o'clock. So everyone had to just like, I don't know about you guys, but I just scrambled. I was watching, I watched a couple of things on ESPN Plus. And then I was like, wait, is it on NBC?
Starting point is 00:22:34 Because it was on the golf channel. And then finally I figured out it was on CBS Sports app for like the last like three holes of the tournament and then the overtime. Just a complete disaster of live rights. I don't understand how it happens. Well, it happened because it was in the script that Max Homo was going to get a hold in one.
Starting point is 00:22:52 And we still don't really have video evidence of it because we didn't see it on a big screen. We only saw it on a phone. It was grainy footage that was uploaded. So we don't know, Jake, I don't know if you have any comment on that. It looked like Max Fake is holding one today. Yeah, I mean, you saw him celebrate very calm celebration. He act like he was there before,
Starting point is 00:23:11 but I guess you didn't see the ball going the whole. So I guess it's an open case. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he said he's, he said he's, hadn't seen either of his hole in one's on tour. It's, it's good to have Ricky back. Ricky's been awesome for, like the last month. He's just like, he's the most likable guy. You can't root against Ricky Fowler. It also, I didn't realize like the full story that he rehired his
Starting point is 00:23:32 swing coach, I think, is how like he basically someone likened it to like getting back with the next wife and being like, sorry, I was the one who fucked everything up. Like it takes a lot of like swallowing pride to rehire your coach. And he went through some dark times. It was like, was it 1600 days or something? It was a long, long stretch that he hadn't won. I think it was 2019, it was the last time he won. So yeah, he's gonna be in the rider cup.
Starting point is 00:24:01 He looked awesome. It was good that he finished one. The fact that he finished one too with that T-Shot on the Second time they played 18. I thought he was fucked and yeah, it's Ricky's Ricky's great for golf stamped great for golf Yeah recurring guest a part of my take people forget that Ricky You gotta have him back. We got to have Ricky back on I can't wait if we win the rider cup I can't wait for him to remake that picture where everybody's making out with their wives
Starting point is 00:24:25 or girlfriends afterwards. Yes. And Ricky's just in the middle just smiling like I don't have a face to kiss right now. Yes. I need him with Allison Stoke, right? That's his wife. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:36 I need Olympian. Yeah, full on just tongue wrestling. Yes. Yes. And Ricky's got a kid now. That's that. Listen, that's a wow. We all age so fast. Ricky's got a kid
Starting point is 00:24:46 Well, he was he was he was a guy with no girlfriend last time we saw him the rider cop. Yeah, that was awesome It was awesome. See Ricky back Congrats to him any other sports news. I don't I Don't think so. It's about it. It's about it. They're we're baseball draft I'm very excited about that we were drinkingors Lights because it was on Hank's birthday. So we cracked open some forties and just said a bunch of dudes names. And at one point, I think Billy had like five minutes to make a pick and then it circled back to him and he needed another three minutes to make his pick after that.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Yeah. But we have been keeping track of the scores in our league over the last month or so since we did the draft We should say though because the original scoring format has changed a little bit So it was originally going to be Dinger's only so you get one point per home run and then you had one guy and his designated spot was only getting hit by pitches So that was going to be worth 10 every time he got hit by a pitch. We quickly realized that that scoring system makes no sense whatsoever because it's just basically
Starting point is 00:25:54 a one-man team where if you have the guy that gets hit by the most pitches, you automatically win the league because they're so overvalued. So we made an adjustment on the fly and we reduced it to five points per hit by pitch. Jake was not happy about it, but Hank suggested it. We all agreed that it was the right call to make for the spirit of fairness and competition. So Jake thinks that Hank has it out to get him and was, Jake, I guess I'll let you state
Starting point is 00:26:21 your case here, but I think you have to acknowledge that it would be unfair just to have your hit by pitch guy be the only player that counts on your roster. We should just make hit by pitch one point next year. It should thinkers only. That's the name of the league. Dinger's only. Jake? Yeah, no, it's who's idea was 10 points in the first place?
Starting point is 00:26:43 I just want to have a hit by pitch guy on the roster. It was just interesting how the first place or second place, and we changed it after the league had begun. That's all I said. That is interesting. Yeah, but it was... Everyone gets five points. Fantasy football, you don't change.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Yeah, you're right. Just in fantasy football, you don't change scoring in them after we won. Jake's going in and out. I can't tell what's going on with his mic. He just doesn't like how we changed the rules during the season. I also think that's pretty screwed up. Just I really you voted in favor.
Starting point is 00:27:16 I didn't on the only one on video who said I actually did. Oh yeah, you're right, you're right. You're right, everyone else did. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the top two, the first and second place at the time were not present for the vote right but it doesn't matter because five out of eight voted yes I think we should say I actually think hit by pitch was a big mistake in general I think it should be the dingers only is what gets me
Starting point is 00:27:39 gassed up just dingers I like having one guy that gets hit by a pitch. 10 points is way too much per hit by pitch. It should be, I think, two. Two is the magic number. Yeah. Okay, so next year we'll do two. This year we'll have to deal with five. One bit of sports news. Elon Musk, the country of Italy has asked Elon Musk
Starting point is 00:27:59 and Mark Zuckerberg to fight in the Coliseum. That is good sports news. That is good sports news. That's huge sports news. The country of Italy. Think about it, like imagine they fought in the Coliseum and turns out Elon Musk is actually sick of jujitsu too, so this is actually like a good matchup. That actually, I mean that's genius by Italy.
Starting point is 00:28:20 They were like, oh, the two richest dudes in the world want to fight wonder what we could charge for this. Yeah, also, we got a spot for it. A lot of pasta. You know, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, I want to throw this out there. We will host in the new bar stool office in Chicago. We will host the fight.
Starting point is 00:28:40 So we'll talk, we'll negotiate, but we are happy to host the fight. Mm. And Billy, your assignments to kidnap both of them. Yeah. Just having show up. Okay, let's do who's back and then we'll get to Joey Chestnut and then we will do Mount Rushmore baseball. Oh, by the way, congratulations to Jake and Billy, you guys are back as well on your
Starting point is 00:29:01 Mount Rushmore's, like kind of making a little charge, making it interesting. So we'll find out. We're down by, we're only down by three points. That's you on the table. You're thrown in the white towel back to back victory.

Who's back of the week? It was gonna be Ricky. It's Colin Kaepernick. Oh. He did an interview and said he still works out
Starting point is 00:31:17 five to six times a week waiting for an NFL call. So he could be back. Yeah, I mean, same, same. You work out five to six times a week, Billy? We've seen some visuals that would go opposite. Yeah, I would not, no, no, I, I, I, I, I, work out five to six days a week, like waiting for an NFL. Maybe, maybe Colin Kaepernick should switch to being a wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:31:38 We can get him matched up one and one against Will Compton and see what he's got in that department. Oh, okay. I like it. All right, so Colin Kaepernick's back that will be that Floreo just got like a full Months worth of blogs to write that's perfect for him. I'm happy for him more than anyone. Yeah, no, it's that's a gold mine And also he loves posting those so that he can get mad at his own readership online for being like a Floreo wire my favorite more the. Well, the comment section has migrated to Twitter. And so he still he gets down to the weeds on that. The, the, I don't care about this response to the
Starting point is 00:32:16 column. Capric has started to rival the, I don't care about Michael Sam comments that would come out every time Florida would write a Michael Sam article. So yeah, all the replies for Florida are just going to be like, who cares? I don't care. People are just letting him know, like, hey, I don't care about this so much that I logged on to factor authentication to tell you, I'm using one of my rate limit tweets to let you know that I don't care about this article. Yes. Yes. Okay. Good. Who's back? PFT. Great who's back, Hank. My who's back the week again, United States soccer bitch. We're up for nothing against Trinidad and Tobago. We were two teams at once, two countries at once, four nil, and I think one dude had a hat trick.
Starting point is 00:32:58 So we're back big time. This isn't the the gold cup. I think that's the tournament that we made up just that we could get another dog It's all the North American teams plus we put Qatar in there too because they're technically North American I guess in some way Okay, yeah looks like we're on the on the fast track for another gold cup bitches Yeah, fuck yes, let's go USA. All right. My whose back is the Friday before July 4th news dump Because there were a lot of firings. We actually had a couple people let go at par so it sucks, but it was ESPN had like friends of ours,
Starting point is 00:33:34 people that, you know, we've had on the show many times. That sucked. And that was like, it actually became so big that it was like, it wasn't a news dump. Like you thought you could maybe like get it under the rug right before July 4th, we can, but that was a lot of shocking names at ESPN or no longer. And your watch on Twitter was like was like, whoa, yeah, it was crazy. Steve, leave me.
Starting point is 00:33:58 I mean, Jeff, I don't see that. Jalen rose, Top McShay, I would be still there. What? Steve, leave me still there what Steve leavey still there Wait, so the lee Roy and jade lee Roy break that one see Steve had like a tweet that was talking about how good It was he talking about other people leaving? He Josh prayed it. Yeah, cuz Andrew Marchin quoted it see leavey still fully DS spian he was reacting to his colleague being let go
Starting point is 00:34:25 But some of misconstrued his tweet leaves question about his status John Ram dad him. No, he got he got me good. He got me good because like oh Oh, Jim Brown. Where it when's that happening? Oh Hank has he resigned yet? Okay, but yeah, it sucked. Okay, because Steve Levy said, feel numb, been trying to find the right words, maybe there aren't any. That to me sounded like he was gone.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Oh no, I had for his friends. Yeah, he's had for his friends. Anyway, it sucked. It's also like a reminder that we work in a, I mean, everyone, everyone's job in America, like they, you know, people get fired every day. Everyone's going to get fired eventually. We'll get fired eventually, PFT.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Yeah, it will suck. It might be cool though, depending on what we do to get fired. Like if we get fired for kidnapping, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, that would be awesome. I could play a lot of golf if I got fired. Imagine how much golf Hank would play. Oh my god. Well, Hank would fire us. He would keep the job.
Starting point is 00:35:32 He'd probably take our salaries. Yeah. He'd be like, we're just doing some little cleaning up on the books. We're going to let these two guys go. I'll do their work for them. Hank, would you play golf as your job? Does that still count as taking some time off to play golf? Like, do you need to play more golf to calm down
Starting point is 00:35:51 and relax after playing golf at work? I wouldn't know. I hope to find that out one day. Oh, you're going pro. Love it. Either way, it sucked a lot. And I feel really bad for everyone who got fired and who takes joy in any of them sucks But yeah, it was it was one of those like Friday newsdump that became so big
Starting point is 00:36:12 It wasn't it had the opposite effect of a Friday news dump. Yeah, the fourth of July newsdump is it tried and true to tradition in sports Usually is the NFL that has like seven suspensions that they hand out at like 458 on that Friday night And it's like I think most of that had already like trickled out slowly during the week with the Isaiah Rogers news and all that stuff But yeah, if you need to bury anything just get it out there that Friday Yeah, all right Jay our Billy your who's back Who's back is the call CM and the forest fires the smokes back. Yeah. Fucking sucks. You're mass. You know, there's more, you know what I learned today? There's more
Starting point is 00:36:51 trees in Canada than there are stars in the Milky Way. Is that true? Yeah. I was told today. Why is it crazy? Why is Canada hogging all the trees? Yeah, it's fucking nuts. It's not very plumber. What are you looking at me for Hank There's a shitload of trees in Canada maybe less than now than there were a couple of weeks ago That seems like an impossible stat I thought I thought I was at a fucking museum today saw some dinosaurs Billy
Starting point is 00:37:18 Yeah, and they'll pissed all the water. They pissed all the water. They didn't see that fact That's true. I looked it up after the show and that is true yeah who's doing the forest fires Billy the Canadians and they won't put it out because also at the museum I took my kids I had maybe the funniest weirdest interaction I met our good friend Stavros' brother he's fucking jacked is he really yeah, like, he was like, hey, what's up big cat? And I was like, hey, what's up? And he's like, I'm Stav's brother. I was like, fuck dude.
Starting point is 00:37:48 That's awesome. Which museum were you at? Uh, whatever, the natural history. Oh, the Natural History Museum? Yeah, yeah. That's personally my favorite museum. Just wanted to put that out there. It is a cool museum.
Starting point is 00:38:00 I went to the Butterfly exhibit and I was like was like, definitely afraid because I thought my son was gonna just stomp on a bunch of butterflies and they had like butterfly police there. They were like, don't touch the butterflies. Even though the butterflies were trying to touch us. The butterfly museums and the butterfly sanctuaries are the best place to go when you're hungover. It's the most relaxing stroll of your life.
Starting point is 00:38:20 It also just makes you, anytime you're looking at insects in a glass case, I just think of sounds of the lamps. Yeah, well, this is fucked up because I went to the Chicago Zoo on Friday, checked out some of the animals. They've got this glass case, it's basically a closet that's filled with Madagascar hissing cockroaches.
Starting point is 00:38:37 And there's like tens of thousands of them in this closet. It's the most fucked up room in the world. Junior, Junior is like funny on most dangerous game, they served me a plate full of Madagascan hissing cockroaches. And I thought I was actually going to have to eat them. And then right before I picked one up and was about to bite its head off, the bug guy came out of nowhere. I was like, no, you're not actually supposed to eat those. And then I just had to, then I just had to eat up blended up meal worms.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Okay, eat the bugs, eat the bugs, Billy, do as you're told, where your mask is And then I just had to then I just had to eat up blended up mealworms. Okay. Eat the bugs. Eat the bugs Billy. Do as you're told where your mask is fire. It's fires outside Billy. You live. Yeah. All right Jake, you're who's back.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Yeah, I know who's back. PFC hinted at it, but complaining about Twitter. Elon dropped a new rule saying if you're. If you're unverified, you can only read up to 600 tweets today, but if you're a proud blue check mark holder like me, you can read up to 6000. And I personally have not noticed a difference because I love having my blue check mark and this is just another person of that. Okay, so the real who's back is just you bragging about it.
Starting point is 00:39:41 No, people were really pissed off about it. I loved it. I loved it. Anytime Elon can make like all of Twitter collectively be like, I'm quitting. Follow me on blue sky. I think it's the funniest shit ever. Yeah, it was so funny because I think what happened was there was something that I got fucked up with the back into the system. And then he's like, well, no, that's just my new feature where you're not allowed to read all the tweets. And then all the advertisers are like, wait, if you're limiting access to viewing tweets, doesn my new feature where you're not allowed to read all the tweets. And then all the advertisers are like, wait, if you're limiting access to viewing tweets, doesn't that mean that you're not gonna sell enough,
Starting point is 00:40:10 we're not gonna have our ads shown to people? Because those are limited to. And then Elon was like, oh, fuck, yeah, that's right. I guess I just better make half the timeline ads now. So now it's like every two posts, I'm seeing what's his name, Tommy Chong. Tommy Chong and like his wife tell me to buy CBD. Oh, name? Tommy Chong, Tommy Chong and like his wife telling me to buy CBD.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Oh yeah, yeah. Tommy Chong is everywhere on Twitter right now. It's that one in the all quiet on the Western Front for like a month and a half. Yep, seeing that movie. I actually, my first block, I block Kate Hudson on Twitter because I got sick of seeing that, that empires game that she was always advertising.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Yeah, although I came rocks maybe the least horny thing I've ever done in my life. All right, let's do, we're gonna do Joey Chestnut, then we're gonna do Mount Rushmore baseball names, and then the baseball draft, which I'm very excited for everyone to listen to. Before we get to Joey Chestnut, he's brought to you by Rocket Money. We all know those catchy saying so they go something like, try it free for 14 days. Just enough time to try it, and then you completely forget about it. Rocket Money is a personal finance app

They forgot about chances are you're one of them. I'm one of them. I actually used Rocket Money not too long ago. Save me a bunch.
Starting point is 00:41:28 I've got all these subscriptions I completely forgot about signing up for. It does a great job. My old strategy used to be just lose your debit card once every couple of years and then like a forest catching fire that would naturally take care of all the apps that I have. This is actually much smarter, more proactive way to handle it.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Over 3 million people have used Rocket Money, saving the average person up to 720 bucks a year. Rocket Money cancels your subscriptions for you, and it's very simple.

Starting point is 00:42:25 okay we now welcome on uh... one of our favorite recurring guests it is joe chestnut who i have called the greatest athlete in our time i've said it every fourth of july i think for like the last decade that we are lucky enough to be alive with joe chestnut is competing uh... joe thank you for like the last decade that we are lucky enough to be alive when Joey Chestnut is competing.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Joey, thank you for joining the show. Let's just get right to it. How are we feeling a day before your big day? Like July 4th is now Joey Chestnut's day. How are we feeling? Feeling great. Way better than last year. No past.
Starting point is 00:43:01 And I, dude, I'm happy and hungry. Yes. That's what I'd like to hear. What's the number that we're going for this year? What is successful? God. That record of 76 that they could go down, uh, whether it's looking a little bit hippy, they're, they're calling for thunderstorms. And it's been a long time since we've had rain. So I don't know what, what, uh, yeah, the hot dogs, when they get cold, it's hard to be. So I'm really hoping that there's no rain, but if it's good condition, I see a record. Now, what does, what does rain do?
Starting point is 00:43:35 Because we've had you on a few times and obviously at one of the times we talked about the time I competed, which was seven years ago, and you famously told me, famously to me, the buns are looking fast today, and I was like, how the fuck, what does a fast bun look like? So what happens if it rains? Is this like Tim Wakefield's knuckleball, like he needs the perfect weather? What happens to the buns if there's moisture in the air?
Starting point is 00:44:01 Yeah, so if they're fast buns, mean they're not stale. If they're okay. Sometimes the buns, sometimes the bungear, they just get stale fast. I don't know why, but if they're stale, then they're not going to absorb the water quickly. But if there's a storm, if they're raining on the hot dogs, then the bungear can already kind of wet. But those buns might be faster, but if the hot dogs get cold, and then they get rubbery, the cold dogs are not good,
Starting point is 00:44:31 and it's not ideal. So if you could design like a perfect morning of weather for the hot dog eating contest, and we're like have optimal eating conditions, what would that be? A little overcast, 82 degrees. It's made sure that something's not being the. It's all right. I'm drying out the buns, but also warming up that you're sweating. Sometimes it's hard to get your heart beating to be eaten.
Starting point is 00:44:55 And so, yeah, you need a little bit of heat as you're sweating and losing. So, what are we doing this week to train for the competition? Like what is the final two days before a big contest like this look like for you? Yeah, so I had a little bit, a little salad for dinner, the protein supplement. Tomorrow's gonna be a big plans. I might have my speed a little bit out of some overeating eggs or something tomorrow, but really it's going to be a liquid diet and go in today. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll go in completely empty in daily context. So who is the competitor right now that you have your eye on or is it just you? Are you just competing against yourself at this point because you're so much better than everyone
Starting point is 00:45:40 else? No, no, I'll never disrespect my competitor. These guys, Jeff Asperr, awesome eater at a boxing and he's actually beating me in bunch. And for some reason he hasn't been able to put together a good performance in Hot Dogs, but he's gonna see he they're one of the days he's gonna surprise a lot of people and I got I got to make sure that I'm not surprised and I'm not going to be lazy and I'm going to be this guy really can eat 66, 657 hot dogs but he doesn't put it together again. What's what's the number you said 76th record? What's the number that like you know we'll never see a human being throw 110 miles an hour like it probably just won't ever be able to happen. What's the peak for hot dogs where you're like,
Starting point is 00:46:29 all right, this is the number that if I hit, I'm pretty confident no human can ever touch this. No, I can't think of it that way. And as soon as I say, the absolute limit is 85. And then some of you will come out and do 86. And then I've already mentally blocked myself and myself all never be able to beat that guy Right now I can do a tick to somebody came out here and did it so I'm not gonna live myself and
Starting point is 00:46:58 I'm sure one day some stuff is gonna come out and just push me this is why you're the greatest This is why you're the greatest. This is why you're the greatest because that was a trick question and you didn't fall for the trick. There is no limit. You have no limit. They said the full minimum was impossible to run until Roger Bannister ran it
Starting point is 00:47:13 and now it's like, okay, they just redefined what possible was. Yeah, this hunger, the feeling, bold the feeling, I'm ignoring those feelings but I'm just gonna push it. I love it. Okay, so yeah, so you're shooting for those feelings, I'm just gonna push it. I love it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:26 So yeah, so you're shooting for records tomorrow. I hope that you get it. I mean, everyone's gonna be rooting for you. Somehow you've managed to be both dominant and also universally beloved. Have you ever thought about that? Like, most people, there's some fatigue that goes along with sustained bouts of success, and you've just dominated the sport of competitive eating but people still love you. I definitely want to see me fail.
Starting point is 00:47:49 And I... This is what it is. I've been really lucky that fourth of July I get a lot of support and not necessarily a pressure but support. And if people are pushing me to be my best and I'm out there going full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full and full of all time. It's like Michael Jordan, Secretary of Tiger Woods, Joey Chestnut. I think that'd be my rush form right there. Like, is that so crazy? Do you like, do you scoff at me putting you in the conversation with those guys? Because I truly believe it in my heart of hearts. Your dominance on July 4th is so incredible. And such a joy to watch. That's how I feel. Thank you. Dude, I, Dude, there'll be a lot of
Starting point is 00:48:46 a little argue with you, but right now I have to agree with you because I'm pushing hard and I'm not going to let any stop me. You look like a great shape right now. You look like you've been working out. Guns looking nice and swole. You look a little bit jacked up Joey. I've been trying to work out. Well last year I was so fat and soft and I've been trying to work out. Well, last year I was so fat and soft and that they had been blag injury and multiple infections. So this year I've been working out and I put a lot of work into making sure that I can keep doing this in the future. So how are we testing the limits of what's possible in terms of
Starting point is 00:49:19 eating hot dogs? Like there you've been so dominant for so long that you have to be looking for like these tiny little edges like saber metrics almost like trying to find out a way that you can get better that other people haven't thought of yet. So what's been like the latest development in terms of your training regimen or what you're focusing on to get those extra couple dogs down. Yeah, I've been bad. Uh, experiment with a couple little things with my dunking liquid. You try to play it just hot with warm water. So I've added a couple little things that maybe help digestion a little bit. But then this year I was like,
Starting point is 00:49:57 I'm thinking it would be a little bit hemidecris because it hasn't passed for so long. I've been doing all my feet with my left hand. So I couldn't quite perfect it. I wanted to be able to do dunking with both hands and I'm gonna figure that out eventually and that'll take some time on. But I feel really, I think my health right now is the biggest deal.
Starting point is 00:50:19 So like in terms of your career, where are you like the longevity? How long do you think he can do this for because i you still shock me but like is this something that in ten years we're gonna have you on part my take god willing we're gonna be having the same conversation we're going to be like joey chestnut you know twenty years in row i hope that happens but have you is there any part of you that's seeing the end in sight? In sight? No.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Okay. The 40 years a little unrealistic, but Tom Brady did great at 45. Yes. It's really hard to retire when you're on top. Yes. It's going to be, I want gonna ride the thing to the wheels follow. I love it. I love it. You're dominant. Like Big Cat said, you are, you're maybe the most dominant American athlete of this generation. Like, do you ever, do you ever amaze yourself with how much you can eat? Are you ever like, oh, holy shit. That's incredible.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Oh my god. Yeah, there's been some times where like, I'm in a practice, in a practice in like five minutes and I'm more than 50 hot dogs and like, whoa, this is a little bit scary. I think I might hit my limit before it's said minutes. So it's, there's times where it's like, I think it's just clicking perfectly and my breathing and everything working together and I just, it's just, it's almost magic, but it just, it feels good.

Dingers only baseball draft presented by Korsley. Okay, it is time. We promised the AWLs. We'd be doing a fantasy baseball league this year and we are ready to do it. I'll just say this right now, PFT. This could be a true test of who's a real AWL and who's not. We have the take he's coming up. This could be the worst thing we do.
Starting point is 01:13:49 Well, it could be or it could be the best thing that we do because what we've done is we've snatched fantasy sports back from the nerds. Yes. We're taking it into the real jocks to understand how to play ball. And we've changed the rules a little bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:02 It's not complicated. You don't need to bring decimal points into sports. We have a new league. It is everyone on part might take. Evan and Shane who work behind the scenes are co-owning a team. Memes is also here. So there's eight teams total.
Starting point is 01:14:18 And the league is called Dingers Only. And it's very simple to follow. Everyone has, there's 10 rounds everyone has to pick one position player from each position and Then you also get a 10 pick which I will explain in a second, but the rules are simple Dingers the only status dingers if you hit a home run. That's a point That's it. That's the whole game. Doesn't matter the type of home run. Doesn't matter the type of home run. There's no pitching.
Starting point is 01:14:49 There's nothing. It's yours only. It's who has the most dingers at the end of the fantasy baseball league. We're playing rotisserie style. So just be all eight teams listed. Where we've got the most dingers is the winner. And then the one wrinkle PFC would you like to say it? Yeah, this is what I'm very excited about we get one other player one extra player in a unique position So this extra player is there home runs don't count do not counting fingers for this extra player the only stat That will be counted for the extra slot is hit by pitches So you're gonna get one person and then you're gonna just root for them to get beamed because every time they get hit by a pitch,
Starting point is 01:15:29 it counts as what, 10? 10. 10 points as opposed to everything else, which is one point. So that's really the wild card is, if you pick a guy that gets beamed and just honestly rooting for a guy to get hit by a pitch, it's gonna be awesome.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Yes, and so yeah, if you're listening us right now, it is July 3rd. We're starting the league on July 3rd. Nothing else matters prior to this. Yeah, we're drafting the league in early June or mid June. If you're player, if you draft a player today and they get hurt before July 3rd, you are allowed to switch one player out if there's an injury that happens. That doesn't matter if it's before or after. You get, there's no ads or drops in the entire league, except for the one time injured. Okay, so if a guy gets injured, you get one time. If you have two guys get injured,
Starting point is 01:16:15 you only can replace one of them. Shingers only. And your team is your team. There's no changing, there's no picking up players, there's no, should we do trades? Yeah, we can have trades trades are allowed I don't see how anyone will trade But it is the simplest fantasy baseball league
Starting point is 01:16:33 That you could possibly follow it's fingers only parentheses and one guy who gets hit by pitches Well, if there is a trade it would be hilarious because you'd only be allowed to trade the same position for another position. So I could only trade my shortstop to somebody for another shortstop, and then someone got fleeced. Yes, exactly. Exactly, oh, we got to do trades.
Starting point is 01:16:53 We're drafting positions. Positions. Oh, no, Hank. Regular fantasy baseball, I think it's Outfield, right? Yeah, I mean, it was just dangerous. Oh, Hank, Hank. It's the easiest league to track of all time and Hank's draft strategy is out the window. I was just dinghers. Oh, hey, it's the easiest league to track of all time and Hank's draft strategy is out the window.
Starting point is 01:17:06 I was at your for dinghers. Hank told us beforehand, he's like, I've got this, I have a system that is gonna break this league. Yeah, that disregard. I mean, it was, it couldn't have been more simple when we were talking about it. Well, I thought it was literally his dinghers. No, everyone's gonna have a second basement,
Starting point is 01:17:20 everyone's gonna have a third basement, down the line. It's binary. Is it a dingh or is it not a dingh? Yeah, it's all a bowl. All right. Yeah Everyone's got a third basement down the line. It's binary. Is it a dinger? Is it not a dinger? Yeah, it's all ball. Yes. I got a no ball. Also, we're drinking some forties of course light while we do it. Yes, because it is Hank's birthday. That will date when we're sure after this is gonna be funny to watch. It's gonna suck to watch our like if you draft tonight and your guy just goes hot
Starting point is 01:17:40 Dinger's and none of them count wasted fingers Nothing worse. We count right away. We just let's count right there a Twitter no Twitter account It's just a home run tracker. Yeah, you have to turn notifications on starting July 3rd Actually would be kind of funny if we started counting tomorrow night and we just then on July 3rd We had an updated leaderboard. Yeah, you want to do that? Let's do it We're gonna count the stats starting tonight. Wednesday, June 14th.
Starting point is 01:18:06 June 14th. We just started the stats. I like it. We're going to be rooting and no one else will know. Yeah, that's fine. And so it's just strictly based on points. It's not head to head matchups. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:18 So actually, this is great because people in July 3rd, they're going to, like, no one can be invested on game one of the MLBCs. No one can be invested when it's zeros all around on July 3rd. We're gonna reveal the leaderboard. Right. So we can't tweet about it or anything the next three weeks. No, you can't say a word. Yeah, we can talk in our group chat. Hey, you can update it and send it to us.
Starting point is 01:18:37 Yeah. I love that. Okay. I'll make this link this link public where people can't edit. They can just view it so they can all update it daily and they can see. You mean when when we go live? Yeah, July 30. Yes, yes. I'll tweet out this link that we're all. You just treat out a leaderboard every morning from part of my time. Yeah, I'll just think there's only, all right. Last thing before we start the draft. Of course, because we're doing this and we're competing against each other, we have to have a punishment and I think this one will be, we try,
Starting point is 01:19:05 we've tried to do punishments that will pay off for the AWLs. So the bowling one was eye opening. How many people? Thank you to everyone who watched it live. We obviously have them out rush more. Where the losing team is going to have to do the solitary confinement with each other.
Starting point is 01:19:22 And this one is, it's going to take a little logistical work, but I think we can pull it off the loser of this league We're going to find a college baseball team most likely Northwestern in Evanston and the loser of this league has to get Six outs against Northwestern it's teaching. Yeah, so they have to pitch Six outs and we're gonna be pulling about we're gonna be in the field a little bit too against Northwestern. Itching. Yeah. So they have to pitch six outs. And we're gonna be in the field a little bit too. Yeah, we're gonna have, we're gonna have,
Starting point is 01:19:50 the outfield will be a combination of us. So loser has to pitch and second, second place has to catch. Second place has to catch, loser has to pitch. And that will be quite something. It will be I I'm already calling it max is gonna have to catch. Yeah, it just looks like a catcher doesn't he? Crawled out of the wound just with a chest pad on and chin protectors wait, so if there's that like dropped third strike thing Yeah, we don't have to worry about that well you yeah if youer, well, but do you think anyone's gonna strike anyone out? Yeah, Billy totally could.
Starting point is 01:20:29 We end up hurting myself, throwing this ball. Oh, no, better help. Yeah. You have enough medicine to do down with yourself. Well, I'm gonna like have to get Tommy John if I lose this. I would struggle finding the plate. Yeah, hit some.
Starting point is 01:20:44 I'm off. That's what I love about. Oh, my God, I thought about it. I was one of my would struggle finding the plate. Yeah, hit some ball. That's what I love about pitch. Oh my god. That's different. I thought about it. I was one of my favorite clips of all time. I'll try to throw a ball. I get a hole to go six, seven feet. I was gonna hold the ball for the first time.
Starting point is 01:20:55 That'll be a good July fourth post. It will be, yeah. The best part is to, how can we didn't use that clip for Zach Wilson throws this year? Oh, that was in perfect. Best part is I blame you. Best part is with the second place, like you can't do anything.
Starting point is 01:21:09 You can't change, you can't sit anyone, you can't do anything. Yeah, team is your team. Oh, you can trade. Yeah, you can trade. You can trade to get trade. That might be a strategy like if someone's in last in the second, that. I don't think you understand the concept of the trade though you'd have to trade a position for the same position.
Starting point is 01:21:29 If someone works. Yeah trade for an injured player. Okay, so that will hopefully be one of the best videos we ever do. Someone trying to get six outs against a college baseball team while the rest of us are in the outfield. Um, okay. We also have TJ here. I would like you to do one thing for us. After each round, can you just give us a quick, like, 22nd draft grade. So we can grade as we go. I like it. And then I think that's it. I think that's all the rules. The only other thing we had was in the eleventh round. So it's a ten round draft, the eleventh round. Well, pitch one,
Starting point is 01:22:07 we'll all pick one pitcher, which will only be for tiebreakers. So if there's a dead tie for last place, the, the tiebreaker will go to strikeouts of your pitchers. So it's, he's, the pitcher has nothing to do with it and, unless a tiebreaker comes into play Okay draft order you have a deck of cards. I've got a deck of cards. So you want to just do high card Yeah, let's do high card draw. I said high card gets to pick The draft order. We should probably try to go in a circle. Yeah, because it will get confusing other go around Yeah, okay Cat what's your your yeah, I want I want you want to just pick a card
Starting point is 01:22:49 I got the king. Oh, it's good card. He's a higher low. Thank you. I'll be just region. Yep I think big cat has high card Hank got an eight Max this is gonna be a bad Hi, because episode just let it go Jake got a five You mean a skew please fuck out of Jack Max is higher right yeah six Are we doing it by that's the order meme says zone two? Oh, we're gonna go in we're gonna go in that meme
Starting point is 01:23:20 Memes I would you guys rank the the suits nine And what happens if like spades best the best spades best card there is So someone else and this is I win this is me I got a four. All right, so max you were right. What's two three four? Fuck I don't want to go first I do Shane and oh You got you in Shane and have a fair Shane Evan he gets ace of spades you gotta turn your mic up. Oh, I didn't I didn't Oh Alright so Matt or Shane and Evan
Starting point is 01:23:55 You guys get to decide where you want to go in the draft or and then we'll just go in a circle around that And I'll say it's about Shane Shane's change the newest guy on the team and he every time I'm walking by his ass, he's got multiple games up. He's, he's, he's, he's always a sneaky. Yeah, he's a sneaky, young guy. And Evan, Evan does our YouTube stuff. He's great, except for that one time he had it up late that you can play him. Evan, uh, some tech, some technical. Evan, this is actually the healing process is to get roasted. That's when we feel good.
Starting point is 01:24:28 And Shane, if everyone remembers Shane is fantastic behind the scenes guy created the greatest A of all time on a t-shirt. That A, he's our Photoshop guy. People said it's made about the A to all the Lamar Jackson Photoshop's which took like two hours a piece. Yes.
Starting point is 01:24:44 All right, so Shane and Evan and what pick do you want? Three you're on three. We got three All right, so I know that works that works too much pressure going first. No, that works. So memes you go first Let's go max will go second, chain and have them go third, Billy fourth, and we'll go around the room. Okay, so in a snake draft. That way we need to stay in a circle, because otherwise we're fucked.
Starting point is 01:25:14 Don't you agree? Yeah, yeah, you agree? Yep. There's no way we're gonna remember if we jump around. I'm just picking last. Yeah, but then you get two in a row. I get, I'm fine. Okay, all right, so snake.
Starting point is 01:25:24 Snake draft. Why are you right. So snake snake draft Why are you fucked because snake draft everyone's equal everyone's out to get as a whole point of a snake I like Getting too close together. How quickly do you think we're gonna get through the draft before we start Picking guys have already been picked. I've got I'm on top of it. Still how quickly before picks. I was gonna say I don't know if my guys are still playing Still, how quickly? Four picks. I was gonna say. I don't know if my guys are still playing. Right.
Starting point is 01:25:45 All right. Eames, let's go. Again, the worst thing we've ever done, let's try to do it quickly. Let's do a quick picks. Um. Um. Oh.

Starting point is 01:26:11 Next, look, sure. Max took Schwarber left field. Am I running in all the picks or are we writing in all my computers? I think you're writing in all the things. All right, then we gotta slow it down a little bit. Cause I'm color coding them. Yeah. Max, I think you're writing in all the guy hold on. Maybe we should make everybody write in their own picks.
Starting point is 01:26:25 Good pick. Good pick. I was shocked that he had 46 home runs last year. Dude, he's a fucking beast. I know. That's just that's a lot. Oh, position. Oh, good picks.

Huey Jennings played in the 50s. Okay. He's been hit 28 times in his career. So you looked up an old, I was
Starting point is 01:28:06 looking at who he's been hit the most. And so you were going to pick a guy who's been dead. I forgot. Craig Bigey. Okay. Hank. This is a no-brainer. I'm just going based off the people. The highlights I want to see. The fingers I want to see the most. Lad Jr. Yeah. Great one. Good one. He hits the ball. I want to get tagged in those tweets.

I'm going to be rooting so hard for you to get hit. It's 10. 10 point. There's worth one hit by pitches. I was wondering if this is like a kicker situation where you want to save it or not. Yeah, I know it's like, is there going to be a run now? We don't really know. Is his home runs count? No, I'm not to follow Josh Smith right now. He's gonna be like Why did pft just phone you'll find out Josh you'll find out in due time my friend. Okay, I am going to now

Starting point is 01:35:28 I was on the seam head express last year. Very good player. Okay. And then memes to complete the second round. I'll go with Ronald Aquino. Okay. Good one. TJ, quick rates.
Starting point is 01:35:39 Hank had the worst pick. Bloody Guerrero's not in the top 60 in home runs this year. Aside from the injured guys, that's a really bad pick. But he does hit home runs, DJ. Yeah, he's a tank ass, but he only has nine home runs this season. Play for Joe. Oh, man. Play for Joe.
Starting point is 01:35:57 It's early. It is early. Oh, really? Not really at all. It's the fourth time. It's just running for the whole star break. He's is gonna get hot.

It's a great name. Yeah Maybe the best hair in MLB right now. It's a great name. Yeah. Re-paceball name. Re-paceball name. I was good as Pete LeCoc.
Starting point is 01:37:09 Yeah. All right, Johnny. All right, go ahead. Oh, fuck. Billy. I'm trying to figure out if this guy's injured. Or if he's still alive. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:20 He's a player that was born in the 19th century. Going with JD Martinez. Okay. Designated hitter. All right, Dodgers. Socks legend. It is weird seeing, you know, first maybe some people that listen to this show, maybe aren't locked into baseball, but they have the D H in the National League now.
Starting point is 01:37:41 And it's it's weird to see. Yeah, I knew that. It's breaking news. No, I'm saying obviously we know that but there's probably people listening that are like, what? DH on the Dodgers, how does that work? Now we're not going to see like a pitcher hit or like, show you, Tony, like that's pointless. Show you, Tony is a pitcher and he does hit. I know, but he picked the one guy that when he pitches does he hit.
Starting point is 01:38:04 No, I'm going to see people, you know, don't draw Willis. Yeah. He picked the one guy that when he pitches does he hit? No, I'm gonna see people you know don't draw Willis. Yeah, was a pitcher that could he could rake. What's the point? Oh, Zimbrano fuck yes raked What's the point of knowing how to pitch and knowing how to hit if you can't do it in the same game? Linsa come hit to yeah, he had to yeah, take your edda. Yeah, yeah Everyone John Lester hit his one home run. That was electric. When Bartol Kallone hit his one home run. Yeah. That was awesome.
Starting point is 01:38:30 Okay, who's up? There's another one. We talked about it. Yeah. I'm gonna go with Randy or Roserana, left field or Tampa Bay. Okay, you're like really good. Yeah, I have a future on the days.
Starting point is 01:38:42 We're gonna say Billy, hold on. You get a thought, give it to us. Not the devil, is anymore. Does O'Connor get paid way more because he can do both? I don't know what his contract, I mean, he's still on his first contract. He will get paid in massive, massive amount of money. Like if he can pitch and hit, they should pay him as a pitcher.
Starting point is 01:39:01 It's two players. Yeah. And he's very good at both. Yeah. He will get paid a shitload of money. Like he should get like way more money. He's going to get a lot of money. He should get like two contracts worth of money. He's going to get a lot of money.
Starting point is 01:39:13 OK. It's making me think. Hank, people can call me a fake fan. I don't care. Just move to Chicago. I will be watching a lot more Cubs games. I'm going to try and get into the Cubs trying, you know, cheer him on. So for that reason, that reason alone, I'm taking Patrick Wisdom.
Starting point is 01:39:30 I was gonna say you're in guess. Going on, Patrick Wisdom does rake. He gets a bunches. Yeah, I mean, I, you know, you already took a third base. Oh, no, I am divers. Shit.

What the fuck oh they get accepted. Oh, it's the fucking they know you're not a seam head. Oh, aren't they striking right now? Right, it's all fucked up. Oh, is it on strike or something? It's like third party No, right. It's all fucked up. Oh, it's better on strider something. I think it's like third party. DJ quick quick explanation. What's going on? Stop right at sir. Just all locked up and messed up right now. Got it. My choice are quits like Billy. Were you going to just quickly be like, Hey, I'm doing a thing. There's only league. Everyone drop your favorite thingers. No, no, I was researching something else. Uh, I'm going to go with the legend from Brazil.
Starting point is 01:42:25 I'm gonna go with the legend from Brazil. Jan Gomes. Nice. Thatcher. Jan Cubs. I say Jan too. Oh shit, I'm coming up soon. Fuck. He he.
Starting point is 01:42:34 I'm gonna go with this guy who's been all over Twitter since he got called up, Ellie Dela Cruz on the reds. Everyone's been talking about him. Yeah. I took the pick with the kids. Yeah. Yes. That group was it.
Starting point is 01:42:52 Oh yeah, those guys. All right, I have a question about that, you know, not to distract the job. Oh, this good. Billy, you think while we talk about this, if the fuckers are locked, all the reddits, what is that? MLB.com.
Starting point is 01:43:03 Yes, Ben, dude. Reddit is Billy's brain. Yeah, that's what you feel done. All the day of La Cruz, the 70s, multiple positions on reds.com is a short stop. So he's like, where do I get all my opinions from now? He hit his first home run as a walk off and then everyone was online being like,
Starting point is 01:43:17 if I caught a home run, I would negotiate for so much. I would ask for this. This from now. What would you actually, because everyone says that, but it's kind of like being in a real negotiation. Like, would you actually have the balls to really try and negotiate some sick or I feel like what he got compensated for what he did, which is just catch a home run ball was pretty fair. Yeah, I think I would give those like Aaron judges last year, you'd ask for money, but
Starting point is 01:43:39 first home run, it's like what what what do you expect? Yeah, for first home run, I think you could probably get away with doing like free ticket to a game all you can drink. Yeah, that seems like a fair trade, right? Yeah. That one in particular, everyone was like this kid should ask for more and it's like it's no, he got he got didn't he get a signed bat? Yeah, he got everything.
Starting point is 01:43:59 If it was at like a nationals game or a pirates game where they do the races, I would want to be one of the parogies that raced I would if I caught that ball it would be like Signed bat pick picture. Let me throw out the first pitch. What about a record breaker? Record breaker you hold on to any cell That's just fact But that guy did hold on to it tried to auction it and didn't go well for him I would also though like if you caught judges Record breaking home run that wasn't actually
Starting point is 01:44:26 the record breaking home run because the record is 70, I would have offered, like I would offer judge to buy it back for less than what I could get in auction. You know what I mean, like if I could get 500,000 in auction, I'd be like judge, let's do 250, sign some stuff, like I'm not gonna be a dick about it. Cash. Cause then you have to be taxes.
Starting point is 01:44:49 I think the derch eater 3000. It was like an all time fleece by the Yankees. What did they get? Yeah, because it was a home run. It was a home run. He got it. And he settled for like playoff tickets in a suite. And he had he was like six K and that. Oh, they took them in the back and like I
Starting point is 01:45:07 Would want a gift basket a sleepover and a gift basket Okay, so I've been trying to find who my hit by pitch guy Wait, so you we've been doing all this and you still don't have a pick? No, I got a guy I've been trying to figure out who's the most hated man in baseball currently that people want to hit Oh, that's a good thing. That was my strategy. Like a guy who like is gonna get beamed and I love to know where reddit factors into how you're gonna get that out. Well, the threads were who's the most hated man in baseball
Starting point is 01:45:36 right now. I was trying to find, cause I think like Jose Altuvé, like everyone's over hating him. Guys, who is your fan? Yeah. I think it's the fans in the media.

I'll go with Cal Raleigh From the Seattle Mariners, okay, I'm looking at fan grass right now. He has eight home runs Minus three and a half he should have 11 and a half home runs, so that's a great
Starting point is 02:09:37 11 and a half home runs. It should have 11. He's an underachiever. I'm looking at I just I just found this list I really wish I had it. Kyle Raleigh's second base. Catcher. Kyle Raleigh's catcher. Seattle Mariners. He got it. I'm gonna go with Adam Frazier,

Starting point is 02:10:42 He's been playing short. So yeah, pick PFT. Hey, pick. Thanks, PFT. Well, so I looked I looked it up because I was going to maybe pick him as well. And the first article was Yankees or Brian, you're sorry, not Brian cash and what the fuck is name? Brett Boone, Aaron Boone says that Anthony Volpe is staying up. Can I answer this? Good.
Starting point is 02:11:07 Look at what he's saying. That's one less thing I have to worry about. That's never a good conversation after you have to ask if he's staying up. Oh, David, what's the voice panel? Is your question, Hank? No, my freshman year basketball coach, this guy's a legend. Coach DJ, he gets everyone's information. He calls them every year on their birthday.
Starting point is 02:11:26 Call to just call me, but I didn't answer. Oh, call him back. Whoa. Fresh. Your past around in your mission. Time for the final round. He's lives. Are you still up? I am still up coach DJ. I'm actually recording. I'm recording a podcast right now. So you're to your live on the air. Thank you for calling. Oh, Henry, I love you. Fantastic. I am very glad. I missed you last year, but I wanted to say

Just went to saw the citric guys today playing a well-seed league and they won by two and a buzzer beat
Starting point is 02:12:16 about, you know, what have you guys? You keep me going. All of you do. Love it. Thanks, coach. Absolutely. Love you. Happy birthday and keep doing what you're doing.
Starting point is 02:12:24 All right. Love you you to have a good one You too all right, all right That's fucking over my heart I want my heart that guy's the man I love you DJ every single year holy shit and he's called you go where you did you was your coach? Freshman year high school. Oh 16 years ago. Yeah, close you every every year. Every every every one of his players. Oh, my God. That guy is the man. But he probably just has to call people all the time. Yeah. That's awesome.
Starting point is 02:12:51 Well, it gets probably a rule. He's probably gets to call someone every day. Yeah. Mm-hmm. A rule. That's actually a good strategy. He's a man. So this is the last round. So if you look at the top, this should be one missing color for your final position. All right. Go ahead. PFTs. You already picked the last round. So if you look at the top, there should be one missing color for your final position. All right, go ahead, PFT, is you already picked your last pick? Oh, I get another pick.
Starting point is 02:13:09 That's right. Just look Volpe, yeah. That took Volpe. So it's definitely staying up. Definitely staying up. What do you think TJ about Volpe? Is he definitely staying up? Yeah, he's not gonna hit a bunch of,
Starting point is 02:13:18 I'll run some. Well, you don't know that. He's got that. He's Yankee's fan. I'd say 20 max. Okay, well, that's 12 more home runs. That's a shit little home runs. 12 more points.
Starting point is 02:13:29 Who would you have taken TJ? I got a list. I don't want to take pictures. Yeah, bet you do. All right, so... I know, I need to catch her. And so for my catcher, I'm going to take a guy,
Starting point is 02:13:41 a little guy you may have heard of him, goes by the name of JT real Muto ice Ice Philly We think about that max. I almost took him in like the third round, but you didn't I know now I got real Muto, baby Big cut second Is a bad pick but I have to have at least one couple on my team. So I'm gonna take Nico Horner second pace It's a bad pick, but I have to have at least one couple on my team. So I'm a technical owner. Second base.
Starting point is 02:14:07 That sports team. He hasn't he hasn't had a home run like a month. Hank also second base man. Yep. I'm going strictly on name recognition. Kevan Bigeo. Having Bigeo. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:14:19 So that was the guy I was looking up and I was like, ooh, he's having a bad year. Yeah, I know he's adding 190. Yeah, it's home run though. Right. And I looked him up and I was like, oh, he's having a bad year. Yeah, I know. He's adding 190. Yeah, it's home run though. Right. And I looked him up because I got him at 202. Oh, nice. So TJ, when TJ tip this off, I went and looked deep
Starting point is 02:14:34 in the list trying to find someone. I saw him and I saw that he hasn't played a ton of games. Like, go to get injured. He's just sitting a bunch. Yeah, but he's a bishio. He had a home run tonight. Oh, thank you. Go.
Starting point is 02:14:47 It was in count though. It was in count. It was not count. Tomorrow is the first day. Okay. Me, I needed a DH, and I think this is someone TJ was hinting at, but John Carler Stanton has been injured, and he just did his fifth home run.
Starting point is 02:15:01 Ah, that's a DH. We were in it. We were really, really dumb. I almost let that slip. But he'll get injured again probably, but I'll also hit like 10 home runs before that. God damn it. Shit.
Starting point is 02:15:13 Yeah. D H then. See, just out here who you're talking about, that was on the list. Yeah. Yeah. Damn it. We might be the only fantasy baseball league that did it.
Starting point is 02:15:27 Carlos Stanton. Actually, we're doing this league from game one because fingers only rules. Yeah. We already will be down. Some will love tracking this. Okay, Billy, last pick. Let me just figure out this guy's healthy. Go in a. Zach McKinch
Starting point is 02:15:47 never mind never never was very close Billy you need a second base now I'm looking I work on this whole time I just found out there's projections to that you could find I've been looking through those okay I'm going with Jorge Palanco, okay, that's a good name or a block of twins
Starting point is 02:16:13 Yeah, okay, who's up? Shannon Evan needs What's your name? What's wrong? Shannon Evan D.H. Hey, okay, a tornado hamster. Oh, no serious me. What's wrong? Staying in Heaven D.H. J-Pool. Okay. Torne Amstrad. Oh, no. Are you serious? You're going to have a torn rotator cuff.
Starting point is 02:16:33 I know. But then, I can expense the surgery. Sweet. We're going to go with, uh, we're going to go with Justin Turner. Oh, right, Zach. OK. As a D H. Yep. I will go with time.
Starting point is 02:16:50 I'm going to win this league. I will go with Thai France as my hit by pitcher. Is he up there? In hit? Yeah, he is. Base number two. Who's number one? Ruiz. Oh, yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 02:17:06 S3 Ruiz. Sorry, Hank. That's gonna change. That's gonna change. That's fate. Because think about it like Juan Soto, could he hit like five more home runs? Then Christian Yelich, but if S3 Ruiz gets just hit by a pitch two more times, that's insane value. All right, Mr. relevant memes needs to hit by pitch player. I was gonna take time for an Andres him and his okay.
Starting point is 02:17:34 All right, my success. All right, real quick. Go go back through. Hey, it's not trash pictures for a tiebreaker. This is strikeouts strikeouts. Pictures for tiebreaker. Let's do it fast Yeah, just go quick. We weren't doing Do you not want to be a first? I think I should get to go first. Yeah, go first. Yeah, so in last
Starting point is 02:17:57 I'm going to go with strider. Yeah, I'll go with Kevin Gaussman Strider. Yeah, I'll go with Kevin Gossman. You pick, Big Cat. Thank you. This means very little. No, you know, no, that mean everything. That you know what, Max just did Max insured. Yeah, that is going to come down to his picture in the last game. Yeah, shut up. This is like picking shut up in the last hour. You don't think it means anything, but it couldn't mean everything. I'll go. It's good. Me for second place mean everything. I'll go for second place, too. I'll go show. Hey, nice. Show has been picked up.
Starting point is 02:18:30 Oh, yeah. Yes, we have to pay twice. I'm so happy. I didn't pick. That's in Kershaw. I'm playing Kershaw. That's so dude. Was he picked in the first?
Starting point is 02:18:41 Was this second pick? Well, no, it was the first overall. It was the first overall pick. Overall pick. I'm an inkar Shah. Damn dude, first overall pick. I'm an inkar Shah. I'll go get her cold. Why not?
Starting point is 02:18:52 Fuck, that's what I was. Okay. Shit, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. I want to see a word cloud of things that we've said during this track. I think it's mostly just fuck. Yeah. All right, Billy. I'm going to shame the plan in. Okay. That's good. Pick. Raise. We're going to go Hunter green. Okay.
Starting point is 02:19:18 Reds. I will go with Tristan McKenzie. Did somebody pick Garicol? Yes. Zach Wheeler. All right. Oh, for wow. How do you not pick Zach Wheeler Max? Take fan.
Starting point is 02:19:37 Yeah, I don't know. I'm the picture doesn't matter. It's not going to matter. All right. So this is strikeout starting Wednesday, June 14th. Yes. Well, you might be like tied for second. Strike breaker.
Starting point is 02:19:49 Uh, TJ, who'd we leave out? Uh, Nick Castelanos. Uh, Hunter Renfrow. Oh, we should have taken Castelanos Renfrow. I'm sure I've forgotten. Gunner Henderson. Okay. I thought I think he's going to be really good.
Starting point is 02:20:02 Bragman. Did anybody take Bragman? No. Joey Gallo has 11. It's a guy named Vinny Pasquatino that's supposed to be cool. Joe and Gallo has 11 homers. Joey Gallo is destroying the ball. Pasquatino is hurt right now as well. Oh my god.
Starting point is 02:20:13 Pasquatino? Vinny Pasquatino. No, nobody took Bounder. We should have taken, I can't believe nobody took Castolanos. Just in case. I was looking at it. That's on memes. Like, what's on memes?
Starting point is 02:20:24 He's only cool in two. Yeah, that's on the surf box. That was a Cincinnati thing. That's on memes. He's only cool. That's your fox. That's Cincinnati thing. That's your fetish. Yeah, listen, that was a thing. Well, Jimmy Carter is going to die any day now. Castelanos is going to cast the run. Castellanos has been really, really good this year. He like, he's been on fire, but he still hasn't been hitting that many home runs. So that makes you'll probably hit a shit little home runs. I don't know. I think that like he he's playing as well as he possibly could be playing right now and still not hitting like he's hitting a shit ton of doubles.
Starting point is 02:20:50 He beat. Okay. You might as well say what else? Hit dingers. Paul De Jong. Okay. Like you got shaken. I just did one from every position.
Starting point is 02:21:00 Um, TJ, you should do you have one from every position? I need a pitcher. You should track yours. Okay. Yeah. An official. T.J. T.J. T.J. Heats us.
Starting point is 02:21:13 Descrap Steve. It's like the heat. It's like the heat. Undraft the team. Yeah. Put it into the text me or you'll miss all out of the T.J. Got it. Damn.
Starting point is 02:21:23 All right. Well, if you finish top two, we should, Tee is you get something. To laugh at us during the video. You should get to pick what the picture has to wear. Like, you can finish top two. I mean, this has been a painful draft to get through, but the fun of the league starts now
Starting point is 02:21:46 Yeah, it's gonna be very fun league to keep track of and thank God we taped all this on a podcast so people could listen to this and be like What did I just listen? Yeah, you just listen to guys saying names many of which were repeats Forty-check yeah My team's good enough to not come and last you think could be good enough to come in second those guys We're going harder than us in this room back there. I think so sick. They didn't have it meant business They took no hesitation on their back. I'd like to apologize to Josh Smith I'm gonna be rooting for me to get hit by a pitch after you battle back like almost dying by getting hit by a pitch. Yeah I would like Josh not apologize to
Starting point is 02:22:25 Esther Ruiz. Just keep getting fucking plunked. Josh, I just hope you get hit like on your shoulder a lot. It will be such a game changer. So as a guy get hit by a pitch like 10 times. Yeah, just take your ass out there Josh. These are ass huge.
