Hey, pardon my take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen, ad-free, on Amazon Music. On today's pardon my take, we have Johnny Manziel back in studio. He's got a new podcast out called Comeback Season. We talked to him about CFL and also his friend Drake being murdered online. We also have a Bachelor Talk for guys who don't watch The Bachelor and because it is Wednesday guys on Chicks.

Before we get to all of that though, Spotify, if you're not listening to this on Spotify right now, what are you doing? Open the app on your mobile device or desktop, click on the browse channel, then click on the podcast section. And for all you sports fans out there, you can stream this podcast on Spotify right now. It's easy, open that app on your mobile device or desktop, click that browse channel like I said. From the podcast section, you can find us and you can also stream on your smart speaker.

Now it's much easier for you to stay up-to-date on all the latest and greatest in all things sports. Thanks to Spotify, I've been using Spotify forever. I use it for my music, now I use it for my podcast and here's a little extra we're gonna throw in there. Spotify, it has drink paint on it. If we get to a million listens on drink paint, we get a plaque. So, not saying.

We literally get the modern day equivalent of a gold record. So nobody buys records anymore, but we get a plaque. I've never gotten a plaque in my life. We did the math and basically it would take like four to five hundred of you guys to just put on drink paint before you go to bed and have it just loop forever and we would get a million listens. So I'm not saying you should do that. But if you wear earphones to bed and you listen to nothing but drink paint, you wake

up in the morning very, very thirsty for paint and that'll make you tougher. So congratulations, we gave you grit. And I'm not a threat guy. You guys know I'm not a threat guy. No, we're not a threat guy. I've never been a threat guy. But you know what we are? The takey seasons are coming up.

We're bottom line guys. Yeah, so. And the bottom line is, it'd be a real shame. Award-winning listeners. With an award-winning listener. Two times or three times? No, two times. So you're on the hook for three pe- you're on the cusp of a dynasty.

Yeah, three peat. Do you want to be a dynasty? All the great teams, three peat, that's true. Those aren't a great team yet. Not mine. Not mine. In this post-season? We're doing, we're three peat.

We're still doing capitals? Yeah. Okay. All right. So download, drink paint, listen to it all night long and then all night long again. Drink paint. Thank you. And also shout out to Spotify.

We love them. You can listen to the podcast on Spotify every single day. They have all the podcasts, all the music. It's the only app you need. That and the Barstil Sports app. All right. Let's go. I want my plaque.

Bye. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.

All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.

All right. All right. All right. All right. Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by SeekGeek. Today is Wednesday, June 13th, and Andrew Luck has thrown a football game. Andrew Luck has thrown a football, and Dennis Rodman has stopped nuclear proliferation in the world.

And I don't know which statement is crazier. I think we got to start with Andrew Luck throwing a football asterisk. It wasn't a professional football. Not to brag, but I called it. It was a college football, actually, double asterisk, an eagle-eyed reporter spied it and saw that it was actually a high school football. Yeah. So Andrew Luck is proving our theory of that arrow paradox, the Schrodinger's arrow.

He's never going to actually throw a football. He's just getting incrementally closer and closer and closer to throwing NFL football. Get this? Until he throws a deflated football. Yeah. Maybe he'll bring them in against the Patriots this year. A little old-school joke there, Hank, a little throwback. But yeah, Andrew Luck throwing a football that's not an actual-sized football is the

news of the day. And it is perfect that it ended up not being an NFL-sized football. So I'm surprised that you did. Somebody sent me that screenshot right when it happened. So I didn't even see Shepter's tweet about him throwing a football. It was perfect. I was like, of course, he's not throwing. It's a mini-camp.

Yes. Why would he not throw a mini-football? But we know it. Why do they even have mini-footballs? Like is it... For guys who have mysterious shoulder injuries and don't throw a football for 18 months without telling anyone exactly why they can't throw a football. I hope that his doctor wrote him a prescription.

It's like, okay, you can throw six high school footballs today. And then on Wednesday, you can throw seven college footballs. Yeah. So what's the difference? What's the difference? We'll start you with this 10 milligram dose here of football. And then we'll get you up to 20 and maybe 30 eventually. Stay woke.

So his dad, Oliver Luck, new commissioner of the XFL, maybe he just starts throwing XFL football. That's what he's trying out. He's trying out an XFL football. That's how they fix the league. They just... Basically, the XFL should brand itself as the football league for all the guys who have two small hands.

That would work. That would be great. And mysterious shoulder injuries that everyone's wondering what the hell happened and you just didn't say anything. You went to Germany for a couple months, came back, still can't throw football. Those kind of things. XFL Super Bowl champion, Alex Smith. Yeah.

XFL Super Bowl champion, James Winston. Mm-hmm. That's right. The James Winston versus Alex Smith Super Bowl and the XFL, the small hand Super Bowl will be lit. It's good that those two are never on the same team because they would never connect on like a big high five. No.

They would just always be catching just a little piece of each other. A little side hand, little pinky. Aim small, miss small. Mm-hmm. That's what they got to do. Mm-hmm. And then the news, yeah, where we basically solved, Dennis Robin solved all the world's problems.

Mm-hmm. So shout out to The Worm, who had a breakdown on CNN, which was uncomfortable, but also shout out PotCoin, which we never thought of. I think it's a crypto currency slash weed. Ricky Williams has to be kicking himself, like that he's not the initial PotCoin sponsor. Yeah. You kidding me? Yeah.

It was awesome seeing Dennis Robin. You kidding me? You kidding me? That's a real, you kidding me? That's great. Look at my hand. Is my hand shaking? You kidding me?

Is my hand shaking? You kidding me right now? No. You kidding me? You kidding me? What were you saying? I was just, I know we talked about Bitcoin in the past, but I still do not understand like the concept of just taking a company and then putting coin at the end, and then

all of a sudden it becomes currency. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. That's good job. You got it. And then... You should start Object Coin, where it's just a vagina-shaped coin that you have to clean off.

Yeah, breaking moves coin. I'm not laughing, but we sold out of car sticks in two days. Yeah, no, I'm not laughing. We are way behind... If Dennis Robin has a Bitcoin that also has to do with marijuana, we have missed the bubble. It's already, it's about to burst and we fucked up. Hank, why, you should have just called the car stick, the blockchain car stick, and

it was sold out in even less time. Well, that's what I mean. That's what I'm trying to figure out, is like, where can you make money off just naming a coin? If you just... How can you create a coin and then how can you get money off it? You know what I'm saying? If you add the suffix coin to anything, it means that whatever you're selling is also

money itself. So it's like you're getting... Not only are you buying the product, but you're also getting a little bit of money. So if I were to sell you a computer and call it like CompuCoin, you can buy my computer and guess what? It's also its own currency. Mm-hmm. And it's worth more.

It sounds like, to me, you'd never read up on Bitcoin to Jen, because it was pretty easy how Steven Seagal set it up. You create a coin, you'd say the coin's coming out in about 30 days, then everyone has to go invest and then also find two other or three other people to invest to send their money to Steven Seagal. And then the coin goes up and when it's a release date, your initial offering, that's a business term right there, this little stock term, I'm on the street, your initial offering? Is that what it is?

Yeah. Shout out, Lenny. Yeah, is it? You should just get... You should just get... Initial public offering. Yeah, so then when you do that, it's like so much money and then you shut the whole site down and run away to Russia and keep all your money.

Yeah. It's pretty hard to guarantee these work. It's pretty easy. If you had read the marketing collateral, you would have known that. Yeah. So Dennis Robin has basically stopped all war. Another great way to make a little money is instead of adding coin to something, just change one of the letters in it, like IHOP changed to IHOP.

That's a real easy marketing tip right there. Kind of sick of that. Yeah. That was, I guess, job well done because everyone started talking about IHOP for the first time in a decade. And nobody really went to IHOP. Yeah, who's going to go to IHOP? Hey, there's still Waffle House.

And they're going to switch it back and everyone's like, yeah, we don't give a fuck. Thanks. Yeah, just don't, just, you just will yourself into being not exist anymore because nobody cares about it. Yeah. Did you see Kim Jong-un does not have his summer bod in check yet? I saw he's wearing the Jinkos. Yeah.

Oh, he's got the Trace McGrady's. Yeah. He's bringing the khaki Jinko. I brought him back at the party in Las Vegas. Yes. And then Kim Jong-un probably saw that and he was like, that's pretty sweet. Still haven't seen a picture of that. Oh, you think I made up the pants?

The pants were a big facade. Wait, what was the made up pants story distracting everybody from? That's the question I'm trying to figure out. There's something big out there. Connecting some dots. But yeah, Kim Jong-un, President Trump said, take some pictures, make us all look thin. And then Kim Jong-un had like that constipated face that I kind of wear every single Monday morning after a football Sunday and he's like, oh fuck, there's cameras around.

There's no angle in the world. Maybe if you do like a drone shot a mile above earth, I'd look okay. Kim Jong-un always has that look on his face. It's like, it reminds me of a not very confident man standing at like a McDonald's counter after he just paid like $2.75 for his two big backs instead of getting the $2.22 deal. And he's trying to figure out whether or not he should say something about it like, hey, you owe me some money, but then it's $0.50. I'm not very kind.

That's the look that he's got in that picture when Trump's like, make us look thin. He's like, yeah. Or maybe you get the change like $1.35 and you're like, should I tip the $0.35 and look cheaper? Should I go for the whole $1.35 and you just kind of like, and then you just kind of do a dunk move into the chain shard and hope that they just noticed that you tipped. North Korea is not in the World Cup this year, are they? I know.

That was great when they were in the World Cup a couple of years ago. Were they? The women's team was. Oh, okay. Wow. Yeah. You're so, you're so woke, bro. I'm very progressive.

You're so woke. We're talking about the women's World Cup now. I'm a fan of women's soccer because the U.S. team is the best at it. Yes. It's way more interesting. Was North Korea even in that? Yes. I don't know.

I'm just trying to sound cool for all the female listeners out there, except they think that I watched it. Well, I mean, that's a big accomplishment. No, no, they actually weren't because there's a big story about, are they going to defect? I think the men's team was in it too a couple of years ago. And then when they're. 2010, eight years ago. Yeah.

And when they're traveling on the road, they have to be like locked down inside their hotel room because they don't try to like run away. Yeah. It's like Cuban baseball players. Yes. You're kidnapped by the country while you're in another country. Wow. They scored.

They had three losses. They went, they scored one goal and had 12 goals against. Yes. Actually, that's better than the U.S. probably. That's according to your fake news and your propaganda sources that you've been watching like FIFA, Fox Sports, ESPN. If you listen to actual real authentic independent journalism, like the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea News Network, they will tell you that they actually won all those games,

10 to nothing, and they returned home champions. Yes. Easily. So congrats to North Korea. The reigning World Cup champions. Yes. So let's do Bachelor Talk for guys who don't watch Bachelor. Let's do it.

We can start with the football guy who I saw that week when I accidentally sat on my remote. Clay Harbor, he broke his wrist in one of the events and has actually like in jeopardized his real NFL playing career. Clay Harbor sounds like an actual name of a harbor, like that your uncle has a houseboat on. It sounds like a harbor that Billy Joel lives on and gets really drunk and runs his yacht. He buzzes the tower every Sunday afternoon. No, thanks guys.

I'm going to stay home. I got a DUI. I got a BUI in Clay Harbor last week, so got to lay low. Becca gave him a rose, but he elected to not take it and go get surgery, proving that he doesn't even care about love. But he cares about football because he wants to get better back on the field right away. He should be playing for the name on the back of her jersey and trying to convert her to his team.

Okay. David was sent to the hospital for a broken nose and face after he fell out of the top bunk in the middle of the night. What's going on with this season of the batch? Are there just getting like a lot of fistfights that are being covered up? Don't be. I mean, I don't know. If you, it's scary being on a top bunk.

I'm a top bunk guy. That's if you, if you are a violent sleeper, if you're a sleepwalker, that could happen. David snitched on Jordan for bragging about his number of Tinder matches. Wait. So David, the guy who got his nose broken is also a snitch. Yep. All right. Yeah.

So yeah, he got punched. You got to become a snitch. I think if you get, if you're the guy with the broken nose, you got to play dirty at that point. No. He got punched. We figured this out. He got punched in the middle of the night because he snitched on the Tinder thing.

And then Tia, who I don't know who that is, told Becca she and Colton only kissed when they went out before Colton was picked for the show. Wait. Tia, that's a girl. Yeah. And how is the girl? I don't know. This is batch.

I don't know. The guys, the guys went on a group date where they pampered the girls, girls, plural. What? My understanding is that some of the guys painted their own nails on these shows. Sometimes they'll bring in like a past girlfriend and the bachelorette can talk to like an old girlfriend and get the dirt on the guy. Interesting. So maybe, yeah, maybe that's what was going on there.

I don't understand that. I don't like that. I, you know, whatever happens before you go on the bachelor, that's between you and God. Hank, what do you got there? Just some sick new part of my take merch that we're going to be selling for the 4th of July. Oh. You want to wear this?

Throw to me. Throw to me. All right. Okay, bad radio. Tia's already got that sick OV shirt on. Bad radio. Look at this. It's like Vanny Woodhead van.

Bad radio. But check it out. We'll put out a clip for it. Let's do hot seat, cool throne, huh? Yeah. Why don't you go first, big cat? You were nice enough to let me go first on. Why don't you go on?

You should go first, big cat. I don't want to go first. You should go first. I'm going to figure it out. Big cat, you can go first. No, Hank, you go first. Hank, let's let big cat go first. All right.

You guys go first. All right. You go first. Okay. My hot seat. Okay. My hot seat. Okay.

My hot seat is. Is Houston. No, I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. Let me go. Let me go. Houston is my hot seat.

You're backfire to me because I had Houston on my hot seat. Did you? Yeah, you did. Fucked up. Houston is my hot seat because the word on the street from directly from LeBron James lips during the season when they were in Houston. He hates Houston as a city, which I mean, we've been to Houston. I mean, what's the hate?

The service roads, the overpasses. Yeah. Hey. JJ watt. Yeah. JJ watt is always around the strip malls. Yeah. You don't like how it goes on for an hour and a half.

So it's actually impossible to leave Houston. Yeah. What's, what's, what's the problem when you pull up Google Maps and it's just a ring of red. The traffic. It's a red ring of death. Shout out Xbox when you fucked up all our Xboxes. The weird drugs they make you take before elimination games.

Yeah. That's good Paul. Good call too. So Houston off the list and also a little extra Houston's off the list. Gary Payton, recurring guest Gary Payton is saying that LeBron, Brony Jr. has enrolled at a school, private school in LA. Oh. Hmm.

Okay. This is going to be so ridiculous. My two favorite things about, about free agency and also coaches in the off season when they're moving around is a school updates where the kids are going to go to school and then, um, and then realtor updates. Like for houses where like when, when Nick Saban sent Miss Terry to Austin to just snoop around for a while to drive up the price. I, I believe that he hates Houston.

I can, I am taking them off. We're officially taking them off the part of my take big board. 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, 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, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, well, you could get some any delivered right to your store. We'll have to cut that. You missed one though.

The private jet. Yeah, yeah, yeah, flight track flight trackers are always great when they're circling around different cities and like, uh-oh, you know, this is the University of Florida's plane. This is hovering over Austin. This is an obfuscated tail number. I think we know who that is. It's definitely Butch Jones.

Actually, no, it's just a drug dealer. And if you work for the DEA, you'd be really good at your job. By the way, there was a picture floating around of Butch Jones having to clean off someone's windshield and rumored that it was Nick Saban. It was probably his own windshield, but I'm definitely gonna go and say, oh, look at that new shirt.

These shirts, we're just selling shirts. This is the worst radio we've ever done. We're selling shirts live on air. Throw that to PFT so you can put it up. All right, my cool throne, I got two. The first is viral animals. So do you guys see this raccoon that's climbing up the St. Paul?

He's probably gonna be dead by the time this goes up, but he climbed up 22 floors in St. Paul, Minnesota, and he's just chilling there. He's gonna die, and he's probably dead. We haven't had one of these, like the llamas, pizza rat, Harambe. We haven't had one of these in a long time. Cecil the lion.

Yeah. Is it wrong to say that I hope he dies so we can put his ass on a T-shirt and make some money? Yeah, well, you know, here's how we do it. I hope he dies because he's a raccoon out in daytime so he probably has rabies, so it's probably best for him to die. Yeah, it's best for the community.

Right. We'd actually save lives if that raccoon died, and then we sold a lot of merchandise. Exactly, so with that raccoon, I don't even know what it's called. We'll donate a portion of proceeds to some wildlife charities. Are you rabies?

I'll buy a shirt with an animal on it at some point. We'll just shout out rabies. I'll buy a polo shirt, so it's got a horse on it. There you go. Perfect. I'll buy a lacoste shirt. It's got an alligator. It feels good to give back.

So, and then my other cool throne is us, because we're going to the US Open and we have credentials, and we have not had credentials in a long time, and this is gonna be, I don't know what's gonna happen. I'm excited to see you navigate the no phone situation there. Well, you can in the media center. Is it like the Masters?

Yeah, and if you're, no, if you're a credentialed person, you can have your phone. You know what? You can't take pictures, but you can have your phone. They didn't count on me having a second cell phone, because I got my ESPN phone. You remember that? ESPN mobile from like 1999.

Is it hooked up? I got it. We're ready to rock. Oh, here's my iPhone. You can take that. Do they know the ESPN phone has all the capabilities of ordering hookers and blow, starting a television show with just a push of a button

and then canceling it immediately? The ESPN phone can do it all folks. It can do it all. And so we're credentialed. I think people probably assume we're gonna do something really stupid, ask a dumb question, but I actually just think I'm gonna eat everything at the buffet and walk around and be like, I'm credentialed.

So that's probably gonna be the most, but maybe if I see Tigers. Yeah. Hey, Tiger. I can also see you running after a ball and picking it up. Yeah. Oh, man.

You shouldn't have put that in my head. Yeah, in your face, Zach Campbell. We'll wear just a PGA hat and go out there with a glove. No, do you wear the sponsors of it? Like, oh, I have a polo that has bridge stone on it. I have a polo that has Cleveland golf and I just keep doing it for like, oh, here he comes. Here comes Bubba.

Let's switch it so that he knows I'm a fan of his. I'm just gonna get swagged up. I'm gonna just wear all the different merchandise shirts. I'm gonna wear- Pins. Pins are big. Raytheon pins. I'm talking burning points. You gotta put the pin on your hat too.

Where you keep your ball on the green. The marker. Yeah, the marker. You gotta put that out there. I think what I'll do, I don't think I'm gonna cause a lot of trouble, but if I see somebody breaking the unwritten rules of journalism, I'm gonna be the loudest one to call them out.

I'm gonna be like the police. Yeah. Like, you ever go to a dog park and the Beagles barking at everybody because they're having too much fun? Yeah. I'm gonna be a Beagle this weekend. We should actually bring some zip ties.

Like Dog Bounty Hunter. Arrest people. Go with Christ, brah. Yeah. A fight. Yeah. All right, go ahead, Hank or PFT. My Hoxie is Kevin Durant, the servant.

Mmm. He's a reaper. At the Warriors Parade, the owner who was doing his speech was making some jokes about Kevin Durant getting whatever deal he wants, which is what he said a year before. He said that was a joke. And then he said Steph Curry though

has earned the right to get whatever deal he wants because he's been there since when they were bad and saying that Steph Curry earned it, which is a direct shot of Kevin Durant saying. It's basically confirming every Warriors fan's beliefs that Kevin Durant will never be a true warrior. He'll never earn his a-stripes. Yeah, he'll never earn his Series A funding.

That's the, he'll never get it. Never gets your angel wings. Yeah. I'm also just looking at this shirt and realize that I'm not on it, which is kind of a shot right at me. That's a mistake. But that's all right.

I mean, I guess if you hate me then. No, we, should we tell him. We definitely, yeah. Wow, big whoopsie. Should we tell him. Anyway, my cool throne is vaping. Ooh, so a growing number of e-cigarette and vaporizer sellers have started

offering college scholarships. Hell yeah. As a way to get their brands listed on university websites. I like it. So you can get paid to go to school. And vape. For vaping. Yeah, for vaping.

You know what, I'm glad that these companies, that you can get a scholarship. I'm glad these companies learned the lesson from the tobacco industry and you don't market to kids. You market to exactly kids that just turned 18. Yeah. You market to 18 in one day. Vape Olympics, yep.

The Olympics. We'll work on that in. Ah, that's it. Cloud Olympics. But I was reminded when you said, when you said red ring of fire, I don't think kids these days realize how brutal that was. Oh, it was a red ring of death.

Red ring of death. On your Xbox. I once got, I thought I got the red ring of death. But that was Chlamydia. Nope. It's shown different. It's worse in Chlamydia. The red ring, my console shut off.

The red ring showed up and I was so mad. I threw my controller and broke my controller. And then my Xbox was fine. Ooh. I had the red ring of death and I thought, I watched like four hours of YouTube videos that you could fix it. So I had like a blow dryer and a soldering iron

and all this shit and then I just made it worse. And then it made it so the factory wouldn't give me a new one. Have you guys ever seen the blue screen of death? On like an old school Windows computer? Yeah. Fun thing you can do is take a screenshot of the blue screen, make it your buddy's desktop and then hide all their icons. And so they just think that they've got the blue screen

of death and then they punch their computer and they break it and then you feel bad but you'd never tell them that actually it was a fake blue screen. Damn, you really were a party animal. If that happened. We got a little crazy back in the day. All right, you got, you got, you got PFC. I've said too much.

It was a statue limited. My hot seat is dollars as a way of measuring wealth. Oh, thank you. Just like we were saying. Is it popcorn? No, not popcorn. This is vice coin. So I don't know if you read the big article about vice

and how they built themselves up from their bootstraps by lying to everybody, but their chief revenue officer, he said they were asked if vice was profitable and how profitable they were. And he goes, well, you can't really measure whether or not we're profitable by looking at our income and our dollars. The real test to see if we're profitable is by how much smarter we make our readers and viewers.

Yes, so if we make people laugh. So we're very, yeah. We're rich. So guess what? We are very wealthy. We should be able to open up a lot of, you know what? Fuck you guys, I quit. I want a mortgage on the fact that I have a podcast.

That should work. That vice article was wild, by the way. That guy just basically, just keep on getting money. Keep on getting funding. Well, what he was thinking with this quote is, it's kind of similar to what we said earlier this week, where giving stuff away actually makes you more money. Yes, yeah.

You know how like, if Taco Bell gives away a bunch of tacos, they actually get paid because people are talking about all the tacos. Yeah, and Darren Ravel comes. Yes. So that's my first hot seat, my second hot seat. Oh, so you had three? No, that was my first hot seat.

Yeah, but if you had Houston, you had three. But I have two now. Okay. My second hot seat is all of our brains, because the Ravens are just bluer minds. They're working on a package that has two quarterbacks on the field at the same time, which means they have no quarterbacks on the field at once.

So they're basically running the single wing. They're having Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson take reps together. Wait, so this is just a roundabout way for the Ravens to have Lamar Jackson play wide receiver and no one to get mad about it. It's either that, or it's a very Baltimore Ravens way of having Joe Flacco not be the first

to a quarterback anymore, because they're very afraid to take anything away from Joe because people forget he won him a Super Bowl and he threw all those touchdowns, no interceptions, the playoffs at one time. So they're very hesitant to even suggest that he might be on his way out the door. So this is the passive aggressive Ravens way of just like easing them out.

Just like having the formation change slowly until Lamar Jackson is standing directly in front of him on every snap. Oh man, I mean it will be hilarious watching this so I'll go down, so sorry Joe. Yeah, my cool throne is male nurses. Nurses? Male nurses, because the Raptors just hired one

as their head coach. They sure did. Nick Nurse. Yeah. Who is Nick Nurse? He's the Raptors head coach. Okay, and that was talking male nurses. He might be the heir apparent.

I haven't done enough research on him, but he might be the heir apparent to Joe Prunty. I think I like him. I saw a picture of him and I was like, you know what, Nick Nurse, that's a good name. I'm not gonna forget his name. Right. That's half the battle really in the NBA.

He just has a face of a guy you could just make fun of right to his face and you just smile and be like, yeah, you're right. Well, that's perfect for Canada. Right, and perfect for our Joe Prunty jokes. He has died because he got fucked. All right, so the torch has been passed from Prunty, the Prunty torch.

Yes. Now Nick Nurse is the carrier of the Prunty's. I just need him to go, same solid color tie, solid color shirt, same color. Yeah, Van Hussen collection, need him to get swept in the first round of the playoffs and then we all love you, Nick. Yeah.

My other cool throne is Nerd's Opinions. Okay. Okay, so this is from Ian Milheiser from Think Progress. Works in Washington, DC. Once you guys know that, he works in DC. Obviously. He said, here's an idea for DC. How about you hold your sports ball parade on a weekend

when people going to the parade won't compete with people going to work for space on the Metro? Oh. So he dropped the sports ball on us. So at that point, shut the parade down. Yeah. Shut the, guys, he called us out. Sports fans, you just got owned by Ian Milheiser.

So just, the parade's done. My favorite part about this is, this is the first parade in DC in what, 35 years? So one time or whatever it is, 27 years? No. One time, one day in 27 years, and we gotta change everything. This guy like, dude, it's DC.

This isn't gonna be a yearly thing. You sick of Titletown? Yeah. Absolutely. Well, also every four years, you have to actually, you know what? I wanna go back and find this guy's tweets on inauguration day.

Yeah. Cause he's probably covering and having a great time. Like, oh, look at all the pageantry. Well, they were, did you see the crowd? Yeah. So it wasn't that, yeah. Did anybody make jokes about that today? About the size?

You know what? We should just quickly hit on that. Parade Saber Metrics are our favorite part. Well, also I wanna make sure to note that, he called it sports ball. Yeah. Cause this is the only sport that doesn't use a ball. Have a ball?

Yeah. It's ball-ish. It's a flatten ball. I called it a ball for a while. Yeah, you did. So I can see how you make that mistake. But we do have parade Saber Metrics today. My favorite time when everyone says,

every parade is the biggest parade that's ever been paraded. And we all just like come into basically being Sean Spicer by accident. Well, since it takes place in DC, which isn't a state, they don't have the same equipment to measure. So you can't, you will never know for sure how many people were at the DC parade today, but I'm told it was the biggest in the history of the East Coast.

Yeah. And the, well, is Pittsburgh on the East Coast? No, Pittsburgh is. So Pittsburgh had a bigger parade? In Brace Debate. Pittsburgh is probably Midwest. Okay. And then we had-

Pittsburgh's classic rock. Yeah. Ovechkin saying, I told you we wouldn't, what did he say? I told you we wouldn't fucking suck? I told you we wouldn't be fucking sucked this year. We are Stanley Cup champions. It's for you boys and girls and birds.

Yeah. So no parade is complete without one drunk member getting up and dropping a hard F bomb. He also kind of flipped the script a little bit. I don't think that we can say suck anymore. Why? Because he got up there and his first thing was he looked down at some ladies in the audience.

He goes, what's up babes? So I think now we're a what's up babes podcast. Well, no, that's like the- I think babes are back. No, that's the formal, that's the Ustead. That's the Ustead version of suck? Yeah, exactly. What's up babes?

Until we get to know you more and then we just say suck when it's 2 a.m. Also, he just knows that the more words he says in his Russian accent, the higher likelihood that he's gonna get laid. Yeah, that's very true. How pissed do you think Trump is that he missed the parade? That guy loves parades more than anything.

It would have been nice to have him at the parade. If he invited himself to the parade, I think you can do that if you're the president. Oh, you know why we're not gonna get a good accurate estimation is because you're not allowed to fly anything in D.C. It's a no fly zone. True.

The entire city. We can't get any aerial estimations whatsoever. What a shame. That's such a shame. I just love people who get upset about parades. In Golden State, all they have is drones. So we're gonna have it down to the exact person. We're gonna know the age, date of birth,

and the social security number of everyone who attended that parade. What they last looked at on Facebook. Their favorite kind of porn. We'll know their age. We'll know the last website they went to, the last kind of porn they watched. Definitely sex spot.

Yeah, anime. Sex spot, anime porn. So we got it all. We have their social security number as well. Yes. And what fake ad they clicked on from China. Thanks, Zuck. Appreciate it, dude.

He also has a podcast under the Barstow umbrella called Comeback Season with Casey Smith. What are you guys gonna be talking about on that? I think we're basing it pretty much around, my expertise a little bit is that I wanna talk about the college football stuff, but at the same time, talk about things that are just going on.

As you guys do, y'all keep it fresh, you keep it light. I wanted to partner with somebody who allowed me to have fun after I came on. Really after I came on this show with you guys. Oh, Chris, tell us. I started talking to, Prez came to me with the idea of doing something with Casey being here and I figured,

I thought it would be fun to have my agent on here who me and him have a great relationship, you know, lucky enough to have somebody where I can be able to hang out off the field. It's not just all business. So, you know, we talk, we have bets every year that go on about when guys are gonna get drafted, contracts, certain things, how much they're gonna get paid.

So there is a business side of the whole, you know, sport situation that a lot of people don't get to see. So I felt like getting a chance to have him talk about the business side, me being a guy who's been through a lot of the stuff and then Casey with her knowledge. I figured it was a really good fit to be

with some people who I get to have fun with because that's what I want to do. I want to partner with people that I can laugh. I can have fun. It's not, you know, it's not suit and tie, straight bullshit every day. It can't be. It can be.

We play a pretty straight list of part of my take. I want to start out with something that sounds like you're interested in talking about some college football. As a Texas A&M guy, Jimbo Fisher, big upgrade. A lot of us, you know, it's a big deal for us. It had been in the works for what seemed like a year and a half or two years. Like I had heard mumblings about it two years ago

and the fact that it finally like came to the forefront and happened has been great. I think we were ready for a little bit of a change and a guy who doesn't happen a lot where you get a coach that leaves from a national championship contending team and goes to a team that wants that. You know, A&M hasn't, we haven't won a national championship. We haven't been in the forefront other than a couple years

of, you know, in an SEC hunt, in a real hunt. So I think it's, you know, I think it's interesting. I've just been seeing what they're doing and recruiting the last couple months and, you know, that's where it starts really. Do you think that you kind of spoiled the A&M fan base a little bit? You got, you were so good while you were playing there

and you were in the contingent for a national title. And then, you know, the reality of the SEC and the schedule that you have to go through every single year kind of set in, you're like, well, maybe it's not going to be this easy. It goes like that. You can look at programs throughout the SEC, look at the 90s and 2000s, I feel like with Tennessee.

Say you have Tennessee. Bama wasn't what they are to this day in 2000 to 2010. Like it really didn't start until, you know, later in the 2000s. LSU had a run there for a while where they were going to the national championship every year, like it goes in waves up and down as anything does, but year in and year out,

the SEC is hard as hell to compete in. So when you know, maybe we did spoil them a little bit. We had a really good team and you look around the guys, we had seven years in a row of first round draft picks, which is, you know, outside of like Alabama or, you know, a bigger name program than what probably A&M is. You know, that's pretty special.

So unfortunately we didn't capitalize on it. That was the thing that I probably regret the most is not getting even into really the hunt, not getting in. We didn't have the playoff then. It didn't start till the next year, but, you know, BCS Bowl, something we wanted to be in the hunt and we felt like, yeah, Duke in the,

I think it was a Chick-fil-A role. The year before was the Cotton Bowl. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, powerhouse Duke, which they played hard as hell. That was a fun game. I remember that game being just so much fun to watch up and down.

I didn't think we were going to be able to dig ourselves out of that hole really. They played really well. I want to give you a little bit of credit as a Texas A&M guy who doesn't wear the ring everywhere that he goes. So thank you for not doing that. I was going to ask, does Jimbo wear the ring?

How does that work? No, I don't think Jimbo could. You can't wear a ring? No, I think you have to get your hours. You have to get your hours to be able to get your ring. So I'm sure Casey's walking around here, fucking flash that. Such a weirdo all the time.

The Texas A&M ring is the weirdest thing. It's different. It's not like going to any college in the country, for sure. Yeah, because you end up wearing the ring. The core, the whole dynamic, the tradition of A&M. Like it is a special place if you can get into it. But some people just like, I've seen recruits

that I've hosted that walk around and they're like, yeah, this place is weird. What the fuck is this? Yeah, everyone's got their ring, just singing songs and everything. Kumbaya. Sounds like a cult. So Canadian football, you were saying,

it's totally different. And it's totally different. What's the biggest difference you've had to deal with so far? You've only a couple of pre-season games in. Regular season starts next week. What's like the biggest shock to your system playing Canadian football? The play clock is more like a shot clock.

It's not like you can sit and change plays and read the coverage and be able to change something. It happens quick. Hopefully you get to play in with like 16 to 18 seconds left. It takes five to eight seconds for the guys to even get lined up once you break the huddle. It's a fast pace up tempo game, which I like doing because when we were at A&M and we were our best,

we played fast, we get a big play. We go right back on the ball and we're like, that's just the way that you play in the NFL. It's like, all right, we're playing more chess. We're going to do this, they're going to counter with this and we're going to inch our way down the field with some big plays sprinkled in. Like that's not how I feel it is up there.

The field's bigger in the downs. The downs is obviously different. You have incomplete pass on first down. I hear people yelling on the sideline, put return, be ready, or punt, alert. Like one incomplete pass, it's right there. So you can have a two and out, get a punt. The next team goes two and out.

You're back on the field in four to five plays. I'd love to see like John Fox or Jeff Fisher try to coach in CFL, just run the ball in the first two downs, like wait, what? We don't, we just ran for a yard and a half. You remember when Chip Kelly got into the NFL, the refs got pissed because he was running the offense too fast and they would like hold the game up.

They're like, no, we go at the speed of the referees. What are the officials like up in Canada? I've been having some trouble, I guess, like every day almost, I learned a new rule. There's a thing called a rouge. Oh yeah, yeah. And it's an opportunity to get one point, which is not allowed obviously in the NFL,

but say if the game is tied 20 to 20, we'll put it that way and you're on, say the 50 yard line and you're going to punt. If you punt the ball into the end zone and the ball stays in the end zone, it's a point for the punting, for the punting team. But if you catch the return in the end zone

and you can't run it out and you don't want to give up the point at the end of the game, you can now punt the ball back to the original punting team. And if, then it's their ball, then they're trying to score. If they can't score, they try to punt it back into the end zone and out of the end zone. And they can go, it can go back and forth

all in the same play, just trying to get a point. That actually does sound like John Fox's weapon. It's just an offense that's all punting. Purdue versus Northwestern. So wait, if you punt it out of the end zone back to the punting team and then you tackle their punter, where do you get the ball? If this is a situation that usually happens

when it's like at the end of the game, right? So I'm playing in the game the other day. I'm going, there's zero time left on the clock. I'm running in for half time and everybody on the bench is like, you have to go back out. If there's zero seconds on the clock, but the ball gets put into play when there's one second on the clock

and the play clock starts, even if the clock runs to zero, you get to run the next play. So even if there's zero seconds on the game clock, but there's time on the play clock, you could punt the ball, punt in the end zone to try and get the one point, punt it out and just go back and forth. But once you, you're the return team and you punt it back,

now the team who punted it is the offensive team and they're trying to score. It's nuts. It took me multiple days to be able to figure out what was going on. And it still is, it still is. What's the breakdown up there of guys that are kind of relatively new outside of the US college

game going up there to play to try to get into the NFL versus like veterans that kind of stay in the CFO for a long time? So I've met multiple people who are like, we love the laid back. We love, you know, getting full bi-weeks when we get our bi-weeks. We're only here for five months out of the year and we get a chance to go back home.

Like I've met multiple people that are like, I make my certain amount of money. I make up here that's a good enough living for me and I'm not trying to go back to the NFL. Free health care too. Free health care. And they're like, no, we're completely good with what's going on, get to play ball,

I get to live my life and I'm good. So, you know, there has to be a certain amount of Canadians on the team. Like we have to have a ratio. Like seven of your 24 starters have to be Canadian. So, you know, it's a big ratio thing. Like hopefully you have some on the offensive line so your skill players can be, you know, American.

It definitely gets tricky with certain guys you have to keep around that are Canadian or not. The other thing I know about the CFL is the 50-50 raffle gets insane at CFL games. So, yeah. Yeah, the gray cup, it's like $500,000. So, did you work that in your contract? No, I should have done it.

You should. Yeah, you get a little piece of 50-50 raffle. Speaking of, you guys owe me 200 bucks for the, for the cap game. No, I never got it. I never got it. No, no, no, no, no. 400 dollars for it.

You won the cup. So, no, that's not going to happen. So, what about TMZ? Does TMZ have Canadian TMZ? I don't know. Do you have to watch out for that? I mean, I'm sure people have got caught overseas before. You know, hopefully, if you're just staying out of trouble,

there's nothing to get caught about. But, you know, we'll see. Did you ever- They seem to be lurking. Yeah, did you ever get a sixth sense, like knowing where TMZ was and how they were around all the time? I mean, when you're in LA, anywhere you go, it could be anywhere you're going to run into some stuff.

I know, like, if I'm in New York and going to certain places, it's usually that way. If you go to Tau or you go to Avenue or One Road or something, like, you're going to run into somebody on the streets afterward, especially on a Friday or Saturday night. So, you're a little bit used to it after a while. Have you been in touch with Josh Gordon recently? Because I saw a picture of him at OTS days.

Holy shit. It's like Laurent Landry. Yeah, he's like David Boston. What's going on with that guy? The guys are absolute freak. Like, even in our days when we were in Cleveland, we were living in LA together, like, if they say we would go out at night in the past,

the guys up at eight o'clock the next morning, straight in the gym, like, running routes and, like, I'd wake up at noon and be like, where'd you go? He's like, I already went to Jay Glazer and worked out, like, a full session today. And now, even more so, like, him being in Cleveland, he's got his head right. He's in a good situation.

Like, the guy looks like a fucking freak. No, he does. I want to see Josh Gordon go for, like, 2,500 yards a second. And I think he could do it. He just looks like that kind of physical freak. And, like, I think they finally have a good quarterback in Cleveland. Did you ever talk to Baker?

Yeah, I've talked to Baker multiple times in the past. Because he got the, you know, I think. He's a Texas guy. We were up here in New York this last year, whenever he won the Heisman. So I've been around his brother and his family a little bit. Did you give him any tips, like, hey, Cleveland kind of sucks? I talked to his brother a little bit more than I probably

talked to Baker and Baker and Baker. I mean, I don't know what's he'd get. I wish if I could go back and go into it, I wish I would have just dove into all things Cleveland. Everything. This is the greatest place in the world. I'm never leaving. The Midges Weeks on fire.

Get a missed tattoo. The girls are the best. The city's great. The restaurants are awesome. That's how I wish I would have gone into it, instead of letting everything from the outside get to my head and be like, damn, I've never even been to Cleveland before. But I already know that it sucks,

and I've never even been there. They do have a pretty sweet Buffalo Wild Wings. Like, one of the best Buffalo Wild Wings ever. Right by the queue. I would refer anyone that goes to Cleveland to go to the casino downtown. It's very conveniently located. It is a good time and a half.

It's interesting. Absolutely. So your man's Drake. Have you had a word with your man's yet? I haven't. I've been in Toronto a little bit, and even going into the city, I've kind of been like, do I hit Drake up right now and just see what's going on?

He could use a friend right now. I wouldn't say he's dead. I would say he's dead. He's probably laying low. Yeah, laying low. Six or low, yeah. I definitely feel in his defense that something was either made or another track

was either made in the process. And something is like, you got to look at it as a business too. Is it like even worth kind of replying back to Pusha T? I think it is. And a rap sense and what the rap game has been. And as this goes back like forever and ever, like somebody comes at you, they come back. Like it goes back and forth until finally there's

nothing left to be said. So bare minimum, he should do a video where he's just holding today's newspaper being like, I am alive, people. Like he's taking himself hostage. Yeah, right. Drift of life. Yeah, or casting cast.

I mean, Drake definitely threw it up. He was out there when he said his demise would be televised. So I'm waiting to see. One week of everything is not enough. Well, let me ask you this. Pusha T, is he fade on site? You see Pusha T, you swinging on it? Yeah, what are you doing if you see Pusha T?

I'm removed from the situation. I support my friends. I'm watching from a distance and kind of looking back like, all right, I'm waiting for the next move as anybody else is. You know, if I was with the crew every day and with the guys like I was some in the past, like I'd probably have a little bit better insight. But for now, like I'm a bystander looking and waiting

and entertained as anybody else is. What if you kind of staged a video? Like, wet the beak a little bit on that end. So you just like, you find out when Pusha T is going to be at 10 oak or something like that. You let them know ahead of time, hey, I'm going to swing on it. We're going to stage a fight. Then we're going to sell that tape to TMZ for 500.

Because that would probably be the most valuable internet video of all time. So you stage a fight. Then you sell it to TMZ. Then they publish it. Then you're like, guess what? This is the new Johnny that wasn't real. It was all a joke.

I got you. Yeah. I got you, fuckers. I just imagined Drake like sitting in a really swanky apartment and Toronto just lint rolling himself to death. Just being like, I'm going to get him back. I'm going to get him back. Should I do it?

Should I do it? But he's got nothing. How many cats does Drake have? He seems like a cat guy. Or owls. Do you think he has an owl? I would have a couple owls if I was here. Well, it's the logo, right?

Yeah. Yeah. He's got it. Definitely have an owl. White owls. Where some of those. Are these owls like Harry Potter owls? They deliver messages, fly around, and do some shit.

He's someone who you have an owl and you don't train it to deliver messages for you. You're fucking awesome. That's what I'm saying. What's the point of even having it? Harry Potter magic is probably the only thing that's going to get him back out of this. Does he?

Now, were some of those things true? I wish I knew the answer to that. I'm curious myself. I've been around him. I've known Drake for six years. I've never heard, seen any of this. All of this was new to me, which makes the plot even thicker.

Everybody sitting here on the outside right now, does Drake really have a son with a stripper from overseas? Is that a real thing? I know they have been pictured together in the past. That's nothing new. It's kind of how Drake has always been. You guys are superstar global rapper. Of course, you're going to have some girls around constantly.

Yeah. Take a lot of pictures. Who knows? I think in due time, the way that I do know Drake and the way that I've been around him, he's never been one to really try and shy away from this situation or anything. He usually puts himself right into the middle of it.

Waiting for the return. Kanye called it off, though. Yeah. Maybe Kanye squashed the whole beat. He's got it. He's the moderator of our day. So you're up in Canada. I think it's fair to say that if we're

grouping into two categories, like I mentioned earlier, of players that want to eventually play in the NFL and players that are content to stay in Canada, you'd probably like to come and play in the NFL at some point. I mean, that's the goal. That's the one I know. I mean, this is like nothing I've ever done before. It's not like, hey, I've maybe done this a little bit when

I was in middle school or high school or something to have any familiarity with it. It's completely different. So of course, I would like to get back to what I know and what I've done and what is the goal for me. But right now, I'm locked in for what it is. And this was the best opportunity for me to get a chance. I mean, if you really look at the reality of my situation,

like, what was I going to do? Go play in another undeveloped spring league again. And it feels like you're still longer around. We're down in Austin for what, two weekends? Yeah, which was cool. It was great. I just don't feel like I went. I gave him my best shot to get some looks

and get a chance to be back in a training camp. And then I thought some things were going to develop after that. Got a couple calls, met a couple people, and then, hey, either I wait and wait into the season and if somebody gets hurt or something like that. But then I'm going up to Canada halfway through this year. And then I wasted another year of playing on top of, for what? Because I don't want to go to training camp or something like that.

Like, hey, this is what's best for me on the table right now. They want me here. I want to be somewhere I'm wanted. It's proving that you are a football guy. Just go out and play football. I want to play some football. Big football guy. I've always been that way.

And especially when you don't have it in your life for two years, and I'm sitting here watching NFL Red Zone on Sunday, just like anybody else is. Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's pretty cool. After being in it? After being in it? I'm surprised that you're telling me you're

going to be able to be in the thick of things and on the field and in the locker room and just get to be on the couch. If I see NFL Red Zone, I would. And I was like, just out for a weekend with an ankle injury or something like that. If I was an NFL player and I saw that, I'd be like, you know what? It's better that I don't get paced in so I can sit on the couch and watch every single touchdown.

Yeah. So if someone came to me and said, hey, here's an NFL contract. I'd be like, wait, but that means I only get to watch one game. No, I'm out. No, I'm out. I'm out for a second. Second best job probably in sports other than being the starter is the backup quarterback in the NFL. Instead of the NFL Red Zone, you're on a sideline.

You know, you get a chance to watch it from the field and you get a paycheck on top of that. And you hear the plays that are coming in so you could live bet the games like immediately the other games. I don't know. I think we probably. Cleveland's the game of the week every week. Yeah, true, true. Actually, I think Cleveland might be one of the most exciting teams

in football this year just because it got so much going on. And then they get Baker, potentially you're laughing. I'm laughing because it's one of those statements that can go either way. Yeah. So you're really like, it's like, yeah, they're going to be fun to watch. It could be fun to watch good, fun to watch. When they go seven and seven and nine this year versus. But if they go two and, you know, 14, it's kind of fun to watch in a different way. Yeah, in a much different way.

Make some noise. So what is your contract situation right now? Like how long are you absolutely locked into Canada? I'm there for a year with their team option for a second year. So I'm looking at it as probably I'll be there for two years. You know, I'm sitting here. I'm 25 right now. If I'm coming back at 27, having gotten a lot more, even if I go back to the NFL right now and I go back to a place,

I'm not going to get that many reps. I'm not going to get a chance to play. I get no experience. And from the people that I talked to coaches around the league that have been with me in the past, they were their advice was pretty much, hey, you know, we would really like you here. Our situation is just not what it was when we were together last time. Like go get some reps.

That would be our best advice to you. And I plan on doing that. You know, I got more reps in the preseason, you know, this year than I got in any preseason games in the past. So, you know, any rep for me being away for two years is, is gold. Just do me a favor and beat Mark Trussman. I don't know what team he's coaching, but he's definitely coaching Toronto. Yes, do that for me, please.

Just do that. That's all I'm asking. Whose side are you taking in the Trump Trudeau feud? Oh, I'm American. Yeah, true. Fact. That's why I'm always rooting for the home country. Yeah. Well, actually, you're a Texan. Texan first, American second.

Yeah. Yeah. All right, Johnny, thank you so much. Everyone go download comeback season right now on iTunes. Episode is out. That interview was brought to you by Upstart.

debt, even make a large purchase. The choice is all yours. Some have a lot of debt, some have a little and the vast majority of us have some, but that path to financial freedom can look awfully bleak when you have a high interest debt.

All right, let's get to some segments. Shout out to Johnny Menzel, download, come back season right now in the iTunes app or listen on Spotify. First up, we have a trouble in paradise and this goes for Kyrie Irving, who there's a lot of rumblings coming out of Boston right now that Kyrie Irving might be thinking about going somewhere else after next season. As first reported by us, because is this Brad Stevens team? That's got, you got to ask.

You got to ask. So Kyrie was asked what, you know, like, what's the situation? Is he going to, is he, he was asked about his future in Boston and he said, for me, it's my job to just stay present when all that stuff at that time comes. We'll see what happens when all that stuff at that time comes. We'll see what happens. Is that his job to just kind of stay there? Stay present.

Do yoga or is it show up present, like be present for game seven? Yeah. Like be there, like watching, supporting. Or did he mean show up, meaning like go to the doctor, show up on time for your appointments? I don't know. It's very confusing. He was also asked in the same interview if he liked being a Celtic and he said

he loved being a Celtic. Oh, yeah, interesting. Because if he said anything else, literally anything else, but that we would have ran with it. Yes. Big time. But he loved being a Celtic right now. Or was it loved as in the past?

Loves it. He loves it. Know what? Give us the exact quote, Hank. He likes being one. He said he loves it. You know what? No, you know what he didn't say, though.

He said he loves it, but he didn't say that he's in love with it. Yeah. So there's a big difference out there. Or loved it for life. Yeah. So would you say I love you that's different than I'm in love with you? No, yeah, it is different. For sure.

What's the difference? Hank, have you ever been broken up with? It sounds like you haven't because that's the first thing that you hear. Yeah. It's true. So you're coming. You're speaking for your loss. You're speaking from a place of privilege right now, Hank.

And eighth grade PFT is getting some really dark memories dredged back up right now. He also, there was a report from Chris Mannix. It said Kyrie has always had his eyes on New York. And so he's always wanted to be a Nick. That's right, because the earth is flat. So you can see everywhere from once. Interesting, Hank.

Nervous? Nope. Trouble in paradise? Nope. Just start of it. I am not worried. Okay. All right.

Well, we'll just circle it and we'll just keep it. We're going to put that under parking lot. Yeah. We're going to. Yeah. Right in our parking lot. Business jargon. Yeah.

Exactly. We're going to keep it right out there. We're going to look at it every day out the window out of the corner office that we have. Actually, it's going to be looking at you, Hank. Yeah. That's going to be staring you down. It's good.

I'm not worried. Enjoy sleeping that on your conscience. Okay. We have a put one in his earhole for this video that went viral. Essentially, it was the bottom of the ninth of a high school baseball game. The pitcher strikes out the batter. Their team wins, goes to state finals. But the pitcher, instead of celebrating with his team right away, he

goes and hugs the batter because they are best friends, childhood friends. This is disgusting. I would put one in that pitcher's earhole next time he got up. If you know what, in batting practice, if I'm that guy's teammate, I'm throwing out his head because that is more of a, that's a more disgusting move than pipping a home run. That's showing up your opponent more is going to be like, Hey, I'm going to give you a big hug because you can't, you can't handle this big, this big

loss that I just flew. I'm sorry, I flew the fastball right by you. I'm going to give you a big, big hug so you feel okay. I feel like everyone who said this was good sportsmanship just out of themselves for never playing a sport. I don't want to go there, but I just went there. But they kind of just said, Hey, I've never, I hand up. I never played a sport because if you ever played a sport, if you've ever done

anything competitive, the person who beats you coming up and hugging you, that, that's a pity hug. Like having pity in that situation is the worst feeling in the world. Yeah. It's like when a girl breaks up with you and then you're all sad and then she comes in and she's like, it's okay. And she, she hugs you. Yeah.

Hank, you wouldn't know about that. No, I'm not in love with you, but I love, I know, yeah, I love you, but I'm not in love with you. And then she tries to hug you and then you hug her back a little too tight. And she's like, no, not, we're not hugging like that anymore. Um, but it is. So people get mad about a player pimping a home run, right? This, this is actually closer to actually trying to pimp somebody out.

Yeah. They're at their lowest point. You come and you give them what you're like, they're there. It's going to be okay. Let daddy take care of it. It was just, I don't know. I would, I would, Hank, would you not like go crazy if that happened to you? No, yeah.

It's crazy. Should have been a fight. Should have been a fight. That's, that's fate on the side. That's hands tapped them right there. It also just means they're not really good friends. Right. Like if you were, if you struck out, if I struck out my good friend, which I

actually did one time, like you got to use it as a brag. Right. You just talk shit in their face and then you talk shit to them for the next like three years and then one night when they're really drunk, they punch you in the nose. That's what friendship is. That's how guys deal with stuff. Exactly.

Are you do something back to him and you like play a prank on him? Are you like steal his girlfriend from him and then you steal his, and then he gets mad cause he, you just stole his girlfriend away and then she's not in love with you anymore. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Okay.

That's what guys do. Um, last up before we have guys on chicks, herder injured. So herder injured. We talked about it on Monday. LeBron has a pretty much broken hand. So are you hurt or injured with a pretty much broken hand? Not broken and not healthy. It's pretty much broken.

I would say that a pretty much broken hand is worse than a broken hand. Really? Go on. Yeah. Because it's, because you can hurt it more. If your hand's broken, true. You're maxed out. You've already hit that top of that level is when your hand being cut off.

Yeah. It can be amputated. That's, that's a really broken hand. Yeah. So he goes pretty broken, broken, really broken amputated. No, no, really, no, really broken is cut off. Yeah. Scientifically dead.

Yeah. Dead. And then you're dead. Um, but I don't think that you can get your hand amputated in basketball. That's more of a hockey injury. Yeah. Right. Cause you don't have any sharp blades out there on the, on the court.

And that's Paul Pierce is playing. Uh, I just, I love, Pierce got stabbed. He didn't stab anyone. Yeah. I know there were blades around him, but pretty much broken, pretty much broken though. I, that's going to go on forever. Well, he also said, okay, if you want to split hairs and be like, Oh,

it's pretty much broken. That's not a real thing. Yeah. You can sit over there and play medical doctor, big cat. But he also said it was basically broken. Okay. So it's pretty serious. It's like literally broken.

That's what he probably said. Basically. All right. Let's finish up. We got guys on chicks on Wednesday. We have, or sorry, on Friday, we have Roger Bennett from Men in Blazers. Very fun interview, World Cup preview. We're talking soccer and we were in over our head, but Raj is the best.

So when does the World Cup starts Thursday? Right. So the pod is going to come out after it started. Correct. So we got to get our predictions down. I'm going with the U.S. Okay. You want Italy?

Russia. I got Russia. I'll take Uruguay. Okay. Luis Suarez. Yeah. I actually put a little money on that. So we'll see how that goes.

My real pick. Yeah. If you want my real pick. Oh, you didn't give your real pick. I mean, the U.S. They could still come back. Okay. Like you never count the U.S.

out until they're totally out. I'm going to go with Espanja. Oh, Espanja or France. Also, a pick is everyone talking about how bad the ratings are in America. That's going to be a big storyline. All right. Hank, let's do it. Guys on checks.

Hey, guys. So I really love my boyfriend. He's awesome. He's really funny. Has a great personality. You're good. The only problem is he's short and he has long hair. I just can't get over these two major, major issues.

What should I do? Oh, how short are we talking? It says he's five, nine. Yeah, you got to dump him. Yeah, you got to dump that. You can't be around a short guy. Yeah, especially with long hair and make some looks shorter. The date guy is under six, six feet.

You marry guys over. That's how all you ladies out there learn that. Why do farts smell different in water? Why do farts smell different in water? They do. You're farting the shower. Oh, yeah. They sound, it sounds like a duck dying.

It's awesome. Yeah, so yeah, here's the thing. They don't actually sound. Why is this guy's on chicks, by the way? Chicks don't fart. Yeah, true. So strict. Yeah, that was a dude.

Hey, boys, especially. Put your dick back away, guys. That was a dude. I was on a vacation a few weeks ago with my boyfriend and his family. And while in the ocean, I was afraid my period would attract sharks. Is there any truth to this? Yes, yes, absolutely. I thought she was going to say while I was in the ocean, I was going to.

I everyone talks about how much fun and aqua juice is. And I wanted to give it a shot. You should have. It is fun. Yeah, but girls don't poop, so they can't. You should be worried, though, because the period blood definitely attracts sharks. Do you think sharks are attracted to period blood because it makes them hungry and makes them want to eat?

Or do you think it's because it lets them know that there's somebody that's like capable of getting pregnant and the shark just wants to have a baby, have a land baby? You're seeing a shark birth. It's weird. No, they just like slide out of them while they're, I guess that's every birth. Yeah. Yeah.

All right, never mind. Hey, guys, especially big cat. What's up? This guy I really like is into bald chicks, but I have really long hair and my friends are telling me not to cut it. Should I cut my hair? And what does it mean that he's into bald chicks? That means that he loves UFC.

He probably is like got a pink punk rock fetish. Christy Mac. Maybe, yeah, maybe a neo-nazi. So yeah, go for it. Yeah, you should do whatever he says. Yeah, do exactly. Yeah, you need to be the best you for him. Yeah.

No, don't fucking shave your head. That's like the dumbest thing I've ever done. It sounds like you don't really know why he's into it, which is big, big red flag. So you probably shouldn't do that to yourself before you figure out what. Also just wear a hat. It probably would be the same thing. They also sell like bald wig type things. You just cover it up.

So just like, you know, on his, on an anniversary of his birthday, be like, I'm going to be bald for a night. Yeah, make him shave first and then be like, ah, it was just a prank. Gotcha. So you want to want to see how far you'd go for me. Guys. I started banging this guy the night we officially met from Tinder and then I stayed over again the next day.

Officially met. What is that? Okay. You met on Tinder. Yeah, right. Great guy. Can this turn into traditional dating or are we stuck as fuck buddies? Yeah, I mean, I think there's definitely been a tender.

Wait, is the question like I met somebody on Tinder? Has anybody ever started dating after I think she's asking if she went too fast and can she turn this into a traditional relationship or because they had sex before the relationship started? Yeah, well, you need to do though is think of a way that you guys met that you can tell everyone so you don't have to say we met on Tinder. That's a big one. You know what they should do?

There should be another app for people that met on Tinder to like go through the second app and then you can swipe on the people that you've like links up with your Tinder account and restart. Well, and then you can swipe through the people that you fucked on Tinder and either swipe left or right on your previous matches and then just whittle it down until you're married and then until you die. Yeah, that works. Hey guys, especially thick cat.

I was wondering what to do when my another guy alpha is my boyfriend. She wrote that wrong. I didn't read it wrong. Some guy recently slid into my DMs and I told my boyfriend and he did nothing about it. Do I dump my boyfriend for being a beta? Yeah, I mean, absolutely. What are you supposed to do?

What are you supposed to do? She was hoping that her boyfriend would get mad online. And then go into his DMs and be like, Hey, bro, I saw you're my girl's DMs. Yeah, and then that solves everything. Do you know what? I'm going to be honest with you here. He's probably cheating on you. If he's like, I don't care if she if she's getting slid on because he's

probably doing it himself. That's that's a red flag. But he should be a little mad. Just be like, that's fucked up. Fuck that guy. All right. Yeah, say it. But yeah, say a lot.

No, you don't do anything. Do no, no, you say you're going to do something that you don't do anything. You say, yeah, what the fuck? If I ever see that fucking guy, I'm going to kill him. And then you just don't do anything. Tell him I'm looking for him. Yeah, I'll fucking find him. Oh, I think he's friends with Joey.

Remember Joey? I'm gonna fucking call Joey right now and then I'm gonna fuck this guy up. And then you just go back and start playing Xbox again. Yeah. And then what happens is the two guys meet and they bond over like, Hey, we both think that girl's hot, right? You like that. You want to play Xbox?

Yeah. And then, Hey, what's your, what's your 2k handle? Yeah. Okay, sick. There we go. And then you're going to walk in the room and she'll be like, who you're playing 2k with and be like, Hey, fuck you, fuck you, man. Yeah, you can talk shit in front of her.

I think we just wrote, uh, what was that movie? The Vince Vaughn Jennifer Anderson movie. I love you, man. The breakup. No, the breakup. We just wrote the breakup too. There we go. Okay.

Is that it? All right. We'll see everyone Friday. Roger Bennett World Cup. We're going to be live from Shinnecock. US Open Shinnecock. Get it? I'm in love with you guys.

It's hard in my take presented by bar stool sports.
