On today's part of my take, we got a two-fer Friday and a little just free form. We're going to chit-chat. We're going to have some fun with the fellas. We have Barry Pepperon, who you probably know as the sniper from Save and Private Ryan. He's actually been in a ton of other movies.

He also sat next to us in the Mayweather-McGregor fight. One of those interviews where we did it, not really expecting much, and came out of it being like, holy shit, that guy's really cool. Couple audio issues like once or twice, one of his answers, like one word gets cut out. But awesome, awesome interview. It also inspired me to watch Save and Private Ryan. Yes. I've never seen it before.

Really? Great movie, right? What'd you think? I haven't done it yet. I'm watching this weekend. Okay. He kills like a million people. All right.

He is a badass. We have Will Zalatoris on the show. Part of our golf crew now, seamlessly fits in. Really cool guy. We're going to talk about that. We've got more stuff. We've got Firefest. Let's have a little Friday show.

We're brought to you by our friends at Coors Light. What do you do when you need a moment to chill? How do you like to hit that reset button to get ready for what's next?

Go chill this weekend with a Coors Light or Coors Seltzer.

Today is Friday, April 16th, and Love is Dead. Love is Dead. Again? Again, Love is Part 2. I feel like A-Rod is breaking up just for the clout these days. Hey, listen, we don't break up shame. I'm not laughing, but I just need a moment. His Instagram story is just, it's all, did you notice a moment?

So in this Instagram story, the way he's got set up, it's pictures of like J.Lo and her daughters like lying down on baseballs, pictures of A-Rod and J.Lo, and then the cooded gruh, the best part, is he put like a box of Kleenex down there to imply that he's been crying. I hope that someday you feel even, I can't listen to this anymore, one-tenth of the love that A-Rod and J.Lo felt. J.Rod, America's favorite celebrity couple, and Love is Dead. How lucky has J.Lo and A-Rod been to have something that they cherish so much that it

hurts so badly when it's taken away? Yeah, it's truly the test. It is truly the test. Would you rather never love or what is it? It's better to have loved and lost than to never love at all. Actually, yeah, there it is. That's it. I just like to use this for inspiration.

Hey, Rod, he did have an Instagram story where he was playing this song as P.F.D. was mentioning what was in it, and it did remind me of Michael Scott not paying for the full song. Yes, when he was just at his computer playing that on repeat, well, in that scenario. The fray, I think? Yeah. I was like James Blunt or whatever. In that scenario, Jan was breaking up because she was sleeping with her assistant, Hunter,

the younger assistant of the company. Big Cat, would that make you the Hunter? Have you and J.Lo had a... Although every time I've met J.Lo, she's been utterly repulsed by me, truly. You know when you could actually physically see someone throw up a little bit in the back of their mouth? That's usually the look. And I don't blame her because she's J.Lo and I'm me, but yes, I am sad.

I think they'll remain friends and, you know, things just happen. Things... Love. Love is a hard game, guys. Love is a tough game. I think we need to take A-Rod out for boys' weekend. I agree. Just tear it up.

Hit the tanning bed. Sheets. Maybe get a makeover, get a lift in. MJ. Beer box and coconut water. Yeah. All the A-Rod stuff. Yeah, we'll fucking do it.

I feel like his divorce party would be kind of like that scene in Zoo Later where they all just get into a Jeep and start slamming Starbucks and gasoline fight. They weren't married, so it's not a divorce. The engagement call-off party. Yeah. Right. Listen, he's a businessman. He's married to the Timberwolves now.

That's his first love. Listen, that is actually a great... I'm not gonna say consolation prize, but, you know, sometimes you break up and it's like, hey. They're gonna go buy the mess. Yeah, gonna go buy... Yeah, right. Exactly, Hank.

Good, good. Here's another one. They didn't ever have to get to the point where they even had to have the conversation of whether or not to invite me to the wedding, because clearly they would have had that conversation. Definitely. And also, yeah, like sometimes you see a guy break up and he goes and buys a sports car. What's tired buying a sports car for your midlife crisis? Wired buying a fucking NBA franchise.

Okay, you've got insight into A-Rod's mentality a little bit. I sent him a text. Does he... Is he pretty much a writer for the New York Post, or do they have to type out the stuff that he leaves at the voicemail? He does the voice notes. Which, by the way, is a new trend I saw. Because he treats the New York Post like Derek Jeter treats the player's tributes.

Yeah. It's basically A-Rod's blog. It is. I saw... There's a trend. I don't know if this is just one of those things that just makes me feel utterly old, but I saw a couple people tweeting screenshots of their text messages and it's all just audio messages, which is a phone call.

That's fucking crazy. It really doesn't. Sometimes it's... It's actually a thing. This is how we... Oh my god, this is how we text. Anyone else do this? I've seen a few people do this.

It is just a string of audio messages sent back and forth. That's a phone call. Every time I see that pop up on my phone from somebody, I just assume it's a mistake. They accidentally hit it in their pocket and it's just the sound of a gum wrapper rustling around. I also don't... I play it and then I can't hear it and then it deletes automatically. It's fucking James Bond or something.

Cyberdust? Yeah. Let's move on from Heartbreak because I don't know how much more breaking my heart can take. We'll just play the song one more time. Okay, hold on. We'll just pick it up from there. Just get in our feels.

The other big story we had today... Wait, wait. I can't move on just yet. I need to hear Cole play one last time. Okay, hold on. Oh fuck, I gotta reload it now. Oh no, that was gonna play. Hold on, let's listen to this 15 second ad.

Oh, this is actually kind of a good vibe. The other story we had today is, is Lamarcus Alger to Hall of Famer? Nah. Hang on, hang on, let me just be strong. You know what? I'm gonna say this right now, people bash Cole play, I guarantee you, like if you don't listen to Cole play, you're a loser. You know it'd be an all-time flex if JLo went out, if she bought the New York Mets,

right now, if she invested in it. From Stevie? Yeah. From Stevie C. Cole play is one of those bands that just for everyone decided like, oh, we'll make fun of them because you know, yeah, they're, they're, they sit in the piano and they do the English accents, it's always raining and sad. They have some songs that are like jams. Oh yeah, yeah, they've got probably like six or, yellow?

Yeah. Strawberry, Strawberry Swing is one of my favorite Cole play songs. Obladi. Yep. Viva la Vida. Viva la Vida. Thank you. That guy's voice is angelic.

What's his name again? Chris Martin. Chris Martin. Chris Martin. Chris Martin. Chris Martin. No, no, no. His, their son with Gwyneth Paltrow is Apple.

Gwyneth Paltrow. Apple Paltrow. Apple Paltrow. Is the vagina. The vagina goop. Yes. Yep. The vagina.

I didn't know that until right now. How about that? How about Gwyneth Paltrow? The vagina goop. She's, she's selling various things that smell like her vagina. Yeah. It's just like you, you, you didn't need the rebrand that you took. What she did was somehow she's making good money, not from horny guys.

It's mostly from women that are like buying Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina candle. Right. I'd buy one. If I needed one, I don't, but I would. No, needs one. Don't say JLo. A rod. Oh, okay.

We respecting their privacy. Okay. All right. Other stories. He did retire. That was sad. I do feel bad for him. A regular heartbeat.

Which, how long did he have it for? Arhythmia. He got it once he got to New York. Okay. Yeah. Well, I don't know. I guess he was just diagnosed with it, but it's probably pretty serious. Yeah.

That's, that's a scary thing to have happen. Him and the gold tinder, Hank, Henry Lundquist, he had to basically retire from that too. Oh, shit. Yeah. I don't even know. We lost Henry Lundquist, the Marcus Aldrin and Prince Philip all in one week. Yeah. Wasn't Lundquist unlike the Capitals at one point.

Yeah. He still is. I think technically. His eyes are still gorgeous. They're beautiful. His hair is fantastic. Yep. All facts.

Bonk. And then Ronald de Cunha is truly the face of baseball just hitting. We actually have, you know what, you know what the debate is that we had the, you were correct that there was going to be a load management. But now we have a real debate, Ronald de Cunha and Luca Donchitz. Are they both the faces of their respective sports? Our sports are the basketball and baseball in a great spot now because they have the next-air apparent.

They've got, you know what they have, they both have a young crop of superstars, right? You need to take over the league. And so I think we kind of nailed the composition of like the face, the ass, the quads of baseball. Tony LaRusso should be the liver of baseball. We missed that one big time. Mike Trout should be the chin and the neck of baseball. Yep. Shout out Carlos Rodon for the no-hitter that should have been a perfect game, but he hit

a batter with two outs. I love whenever we get a perfect game or no-hitter and then we get the rules of baseball because there was the slide in the first base that everyone was like, that's a bush league. My opinion on no-hitters and perfect games, I think you should get to do anything to try to break it up, but you also should get to like throw it at their head the next day. Yeah. So if you pull some bush league stuff like a bunt to break up a no-hitter, I think that's fine because getting that win over, if you can't get a win in the game, not being no-hit

is just as good as a win anyway. That way you're not like immortalized. The team that got no hits. So yes, I agree. Like do anything that you can to, if you're down like 11 runs, doesn't matter. Right. And if it's quote unquote bush league, I'm not going to complain about it. I just expect there to be some retribution the next day.

Yeah. I love bush league. Right. Bush league is some of my favorite parts of baseball when people like do shit that's outside the unwritten rules. Yep. Also, we had an article come out in Sports Illustrated yesterday. Yeah.

I thought it was fake when Billy sent us the quote card from it. Yes. We have Daniel Jeremiah coming up next week, awesome interview with him on the draft stuff. So we actually read this during the interview. Yeah. Go ahead. Read it again. Well, it was basically Trevor Lawrence.

It was two quotes, one from his high school coach saying that he doesn't need to win. And then his dad being like, yeah, I'm not so sure he couldn't just walk away tomorrow. And so I thought there were fake quotes because they looked like, and this is like the new thing that you see we saw with Kevin Durant and Shannon Sharp. You can just put whatever you want on a quote board and people are like, oh, shit, he said it. And this one was just a picture of Trevor Lawrence with those quotes. I thought it was made up, but now people are actually having the debate.

Does Trevor Lawrence love football enough? Your thoughts, Billy. He does either one, he's trying to tank his draft stock to not go to one of the top teams with picks to he actually doesn't like football, which means that he's never fought to keep playing football. And he's going to get to a point in the NFL for the first time in his life where he's never had to play hard, fight or play playing football, he's going to play. So for example, in high school, you play hard, you know, because you love football and you

want to play at the next level. He he was assumed he was going to play at the next level in high school. He went to college. It was assumed in college he was going to play at the NFL. So he never has had to play to keep playing football. And that's like huge in the NFL because, you know, because you want to play football. Yeah, got it. But if he doesn't actually like someone that roster wants it more, yeah, maybe a Gardner

Minshew. It's going to be. Do you think that? Do you think that Trevor Lawrence would break his own hand with a hammer so that he could get one extra year of football? No, I don't think that he would. But he also might be way better at football. That's the thing.

But he also may get to the league and realize that he's, you know, he can be one and done like after this year. They could just replace him. That would be hilarious. He's never been an expendable player in his life. Right. He's probably not an expendable player now either when he goes number one. I don't fully follow though, Billy.

Like Tom Brady. He had backups at Clemson. He had to play well. They were never going to replace him because I mean he doesn't have a five star backup behind him right now. If he didn't play well, they would have replaced him. In fact, it's no those types of guys will do you don't get it, Hank. He was never in a situation to fail.

Now, Hank, now his job is to play football. Isn't being the quarterback, you know, if you throw passes and they get intercepted, like that would be considered failing. Has he thrown interceptions? Never. Once. No, not a lot. No, he has.

What are you talking about? Yes, he has thrown an interception. No, but I'm saying, no, I'm saying like Billy's like he was, he was like, if he throws an interception, that would be considered failing. He's never had. If he has bad passes, that's failing. There was a second there where you're like Trevor Lawrence actually has never thrown an interception.

I might be wrong. He's lost. He's in a situation where he's not one of the best players on the field. Yeah. Listen, Billy, I'm all for this. I'm all for you trying to find reasons why Trevor Lawrence shouldn't be the number one pick because that's interesting. I would actually say it'd be more logical to be like his hair is too long.

Think about it that way. I don't get the name. Jesus, complex thing. When was the last time a long-haired quarterback won a Super Bowl? I can't think of one. Oh, actually, also, didn't Brady, when they lost, they were, he had his hair longest. Yeah. Absolutely.

Plus, it makes it easier for defenders to sack you if you've got the long hair flowing back there. Did Breeze have kind of long hair when he won? No. No. He did have it at one point. Everyone, every quarterback has tried the long hair. Yeah.

Justin Herbert got better. That was Heather's hair. Roger's definitely won with the... Breeze had pretty long hair. No. Roger's had long hair when he won. That's shorter than your hair right now. Roger's had long hair when he won.

Oh, it's not. This? I don't think a Super Bowl quarterback has ever had hair that touches their shoulders before. I'm pretty sure Roger's had long hair when he won. If you didn't have one, I thought that one. Maybe not. Okay.

So he grew out after. Yeah, you're right. Everyone grows out after. Let's get on that. Let's get that ball rolling a little bit, because you can say things like he should spend more time trying to connect with his split ends than cut them off. He should spend more time in the film room than the barber's chair. Things like that.

I think he loves his hair more than football. There you go. Actually, yeah. I'm looking at it right now. Roger's had long hair right before he won the Super Bowl. So there it is. Interesting. Interesting.

Also, let's just come up with some fake quotes from Trevor Lawrence that makes it look like he's a big red flag walking around. And then we'll create like a fake podcast and then put the quote cards out from that podcast. Things like, Trevor Lawrence, I have mono. Yeah. Trevor Lawrence, if I get mono, I will probably retire. Yep.

Trevor Lawrence, I've never even. Trevor Lawrence is tougher than me. I've never had a friend attend any birthday party I've ever had. I became a Jehovah's Witness just so I could stop having birthday parties by myself. There it is. Wait, hold on. This is one of those things that drives me insane. I mean, when we say something and then tomorrow someone's going to be like, how could you

forget this guy? No, I don't think we're forgetting anybody. I legit don't think any long hair quarterback has ever won a Super Bowl. What's crazy is all these quarterbacks have had long hair, but not when they, like Nick Foles has had long hair, but not when they want. McMahon. No. No.

No. I mean, you could say Joe Namath, but that was just long hair at the time, which was it covered his ears. And they're like, look at this fucking hippie. Yeah. Charlie Whitehurst is probably the best long hair quarterback to ever play in the NFL. Yeah. McMahon wasn't even close.

I mean, he had like, he had a hairstyle that was memorable, but it wasn't, you, I wouldn't, you wouldn't say that's a long haired quarterback. Damn, this is going to try. Oh, wait, wait, wait. They're all fictional. All the good, remember the Titans sunshine? So that type of hair. There's, um, Falco Shane Falco had long hair.

The Titans is real. I have one. I think I have one. Ronnie Bass. I think, I think, I think Ben's hair was long. No way. No way. Dude, he has done the long hair though.

It's never been down to his shoulders. Well, I mean that, yeah, I mean that's, I'm talking about just like clearly growing out. What about Joe Montana? I think Ben had long hair. I really do. I don't, I don't think it was anywhere close to Trevor Lawrence's neighborhood. I think Ben Rothlessberger would remember to wash his hair every day. Look at that face.

Look at that fat fucking face. What a legend. What an absolute legend. We also had Clowney, the brown sign Clowney. Yeah. The Browns are now officially, if I had to pick a Super Bowl winner today, it would be the Browns just because they have three number one overall picks in the last five years. Is that right?

No, in a five year span was the thing, it was Miles Garrett, Baker Mayfield and Clowney. So in a five year span, three number one overall picks, that right there just tells me from my own draft analysis, that's the greatest team that's ever been created. Clown Davion and Clowney. So in my opinion, because I know Stephen Chay thinks that he stinks right now, I think that Jadavion and Clowney kind of sucks more than he stinks. I think sucks is better than stinking. So if a guy sucks, he can still be pretty good, but he's not living up to the expectations

that come along with his name. Right. It's not like he shouldn't be on the field. If you stink, you shouldn't be on the field, then if you're trash, you shouldn't be in the league. The problem is he's kind of sucked for a little bit, so it might be just who he is now. He's sucked his way into stinking. Right.

He's, I mean, how much, and I know this is kind of a ridiculous thing to say, but I really truly believe it. How many millions of dollars do you think Jadavion Clowney has gained in his life and his career from that one hit against Michigan? Ooh. Like it has to be. There has to be a number. 60% of his career earnings.

Like every time you think of him, you think of that hit and you're like, well, he's a beast. And he obviously was very good for a while, but he hasn't been that level for a year or two. Every now and again, you come across a highlight that is when you see it, you're like, that is football. Yes. Football plays.

Yes. He hit the dude in the back. Everything happened perfectly on that. He went straight through the middle, hit the guy, knocked his helmet off. The ball came out and then he palmed the football. Yes. On the ground and picked it up. Like it all happened perfectly in succession where you're like, that is the perfect football

highlight. I thought that was going to be John Bostic after his Teddy Bridgewater hit and the Bears draft it up. When he knocked the shit out of him. Yeah. But then the Gators ended up losing that game. So that was a whole different story. But yeah, there's that, that one huge hit.

Basically our draft, like if you hired us as part of a scouting team, like, hey, listen, just try to get one huge play that everyone remembers forever and you will be good. And likewise, it can be true in the opposite direction. Like if you're that linebacker from Ohio State who got burned in the Natty, that was bad. Tough Borland. Tough Borland. Tough Borland.

Where he looked like his legs were two different sizes when he was starting to chase him down. Yeah. He tried two different gates while he was running. The other weird story we had was, I don't know if this has been debunked. I've seen conflicting reports, but the original report was that Sam Darnold was offered, the 49ers offered the 12th pick in the draft to the Jets for Sam Darnold. And the Jets said no because they were, they didn't know if Zach Wilson's shoulder was going to work out or like they had issues about that.

So they were thinking about maybe keeping Sam Darnold and not trading him. Now everyone obviously is running with the story that the Jets are idiots because they didn't trade for the 12th pick and all this stuff that would have had the third and the 12th. The second and the 12th. I actually am going to side with the Jets here simply because Kyle Shanahan is that type of coach that if he got Sam Darnold, Sam Darnold would be a pro bowler. Yeah.

So it would make them look bad. It would make you look bad. Like he's the one guy I wouldn't want to trade my quarterback to just knowing that he's going to end up looking good and everyone would be like, oh, the Jets suck even more. Yeah. It's that. And also I could also, I could see the Jets front office being like, you know what, I'd be more scared of facing off against the 49ers in the Super Bowl than the Panthers.

Right. So I don't want to have to go back up against Sam Darnold. Right. But I really do think that the Kyle Shanahan's of that level with quarterbacks where I wouldn't, I wouldn't want to trade my first pick, you know, my first round pick to him, knowing that he, like if Mr. Biscay got traded to the 49ers, I'd be like, this is going to suck because he's going to make him awesome and everyone's going to laugh at me more. He's, he's the next boyfriend on Instagram.

Like if J Lo starts dating Kyle Shanahan, come on, we can wear over that. Be tough. Come on. He's tough. What are you doing that for? Play the song again. Come on. It's just, it hurts, it hurts.

It's okay to, I think in 2021 as guys, as dudes, it's okay to say when you're hurt. A famous person once said, it's okay to not be okay. You know what? Where does Alex's Instagram go from here? Skies the limit. Booties, perfect booties. Start selling Pajanas into candles. A-Rod should start selling A-Rod penis into candles.

I'd buy it. Put one in this. Put one in here and just alpha. Smells like old spice. Yeah. I mean, the girl that kind of is, is rumored to have broken Jay Cutler and. No, that's not. Hey, come on, you know, you know, you know that this is just, you know, sometimes,

sometimes things happen. OK, no, nothing more than that. What are you going to say, Billy? Did Jose predict the future? No, no. All right. Going to need a few more seconds of the song after that comment. It's going right back into it.

Billy, do you regret beating Jose up so badly when it turns out hashtag Jose was right? It's like, what the fuck? No, no, I'm really glad that Jose didn't kill you because that would have been tough to get murdered by Jose and then have him be right and then have him be absolutely correct. Yeah, that would have sucked. That would have sucked. For the record, I still don't like Jose can say he's still a rat.

Correct. He claims to be a time traveler. He claims a lot. So he probably went into the future. Si would have beat his ass and been like, get out there since I can. You should build a time machine and go back and work out. So he should. Yeah, maybe not have your shoulder.

Maybe maybe don't look at the pay per view numbers before you go in the ring so you don't take a dive. Yeah. Yeah, if he had it, if he had a time machine, I don't think he ever would have agreed to fight our intern and lose if he could see that. I think he saw how much money he ended up making. Yeah, he probably that's the do you think Jose? How much of that paycheck do you think Jose can say goes still has in his bank account right now?

He doesn't believe in the stock market and like assets. He sounds like a dude you would get along with. I know I kind of want to go. Yeah, like everything you say is something you would like you saying. Oh, yeah, Jose thinks he's a time traveler. Like you you're the judge. You you definitely think I'm a time traveler. No, but you would be down with the time traveler.

So down. Right. Right. But go in the future, not the past. Got it. But people don't people don't do that often when they when they time travel, they always think about going the past. I'd go to the future. Yeah, no, dude, butterfly. Can you affect the past by going into the future? I would.

What if you go into the future and build a better time machine where people can go further back into the past? Oh, then yes. Think about that. I would go into the future, like three to four months from now when A-Rod and JLo get back together. I hope they keep doing this for the entire offseason. Be cool with me.

Be a great way to get us back into football. Yeah, well, like I like how we say everything goes by the football. Yeah, because JLo and A-Rod have so much to do with football. Yeah, they're on the football. The Mayans, you know, the Mayans had their calendar. We have our football calendar. All right, let's get to our interviews. We got two awesome interviews.

So Barry Pepper, which was one of those interviews, we all fully admit we took it because we sat next to him and McGregor Mayweather in front of him. In front of him. No, no. Yeah, we get that wrong in the interview. Yeah. And we thought that would be funny to have him on. And then he turned out to be like one of the most fascinating guys we've talked to. I would love to have him in the studio to have this conversation. Yes. So there's a couple of moments where a word or two cuts out just from technology.

It sucks. Sorry. Just a heads up, but we got the gist of it. And he's an awesome interview. And then we're going to have Will Zalatoris, who is now part of our golf crew. Before we do all that, our friends at Free Fly, our back brands send us clothing all the time. And there aren't too many that I can actually say that I love enough to wear on a consistent basis. Actually, Free Fly is one of those brands. I'm going to say it right now. I actually bought Free Fly stuff before they started working with us.

He's got a new movie that is out April 16th. It's called Trigger Point. It's in theaters and on demand. It's going to be an awesome movie. I'm very, very excited for it. So Barry, thank you for joining us. I just alluded to it before we started. When we saw your name come across our list of potential guests, we're like,

we have to have Barry Pepper on because you don't realize this, but we sat next to you for the Mayweather McGregor fight and we were very drunk. And I think we asked you for a picture. And I think we also harassed you being like, you're the dude who killed the Nazis. So we just want to see, do you remember us? Check this out. Check this out. Oh, she had a picture with us, a picture of us.

Frame. Oh, there it is. The stub. Got it right there. It's right there. Wait, wait. Though you guys must have been C seven or eight because I was five and six. Yeah. If you don't recognize this, maybe do you recognize me? Do you recognize me? It was a wild. Yeah, we were right in front of you.

Actually, no, no, we were behind. I don't have the picture. Oh, we were like, we were we were behind you right behind you. I just tried to roast you by saying we had better season. It was an all time backfire. Yeah, I congratulate you. I found the tweet.

I found the tweet, too. I said 1109 p.m. on August 26th. I said, sitting next to the sniper, dude from Save Your Private Ryan. Yeah, we're big time now. Also, what's his name? So, hey, you know, I do the I do the whatever you call it, the narration for showtime for those fights. So that's that's how I was there.

Oh, so we did have good seats. I guess so. Yeah. Wow, man. Nice to see you. Yeah, good to see you again. Great to see you. So that's what I recognize you from because saving Private Ryan was one of my favorite movies.

One of the best war movies of all time. It's any time you hear people talk about it. I know Big Cat went over to Normandy. I went over to Normandy also a couple of years ago. Everybody over there always talks about saving Private Ryan as being the most true to what actually happened of any of the other war movies. And I'm just curious, do people come up to you and they like recognize you from that movie and do they do they thank you for your service ever?

Do they ever think you're actually from the military? Yeah, it's interesting because I've done three three pretty prominent war films, one with Clint Eastwood called Plagues of Our Fathers and then another one with Mel Gibson Cove that we were soldiers. And so you have people recognize you in the service community and no, they don't they don't assume that you're you're a service member, but they there's a there's a lot of respect that comes with it at both both ways. So, you know, you you do you do a lot of events, a lot of charity events.

And you and you kind of immerse yourself in that community, not only through your research for the film, but then they they welcome they welcome you into these events and that's a pretty it's pretty cool. So, you know, you really feel like you got a huge responsibility to try to get it right because you you're dealing with a lot of people's memories and their losses and and their wounds. And so it's it's not, you know, it's not something that you can just kind of, you know, it's not a Fast and Furious movie, you know what I mean?

Like you just you have to, you know, take it take it quite serious. You be sitting you be sitting at dinner with some young woman with with a prosthetic a full prosthetic arm and it's just it's such a yeah, it's a trip, you know, yeah, so you really want to you want to make sure that you do it. Right. So how did you end up in Normandy? So I went there on vacation, went over to Paris for a day, then took two day trip to to Normandy and then left town. But I always wanted to see that coast because for that perfect.

Yeah, for that my great uncle was I think he was on Omaha, actually. He got shot in his hip, but he you know, he never wanted to talk about it when he got my great uncle never wanted to discuss it after he came back. And so I never really got to talk to him that much about it. But it was it was fascinating to be there and to see where all that happened. Yeah, that was sort of one of the highest honors was people said, you know, it kind of spoke for them, sort of the people like your uncle. They didn't have to really articulate it.

They could just sort of say to their nephew or their wife. And you know, yeah, that's sort of this is sort of why I couldn't talk about it. It's like there's a lot like that. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, your your character obviously in Save and Private Ryan all time character and actually the the it's such a great character that I think that at least personally, whenever I see you in a new movie, I'm like, I got to see it because I love them so much in Save and Private Ryan, including your new movie Trigger Point.

So one last question about Save and Private Ryan, you probably get a note about it. It's been so long. No, not at all. How how cool has Vin Diesel? Yeah, he's great. He was a great guy. You know, it's interesting when I first met him on Save and Private Ryan we ended up doing another film after that called Knock Around Guys. But when I first met him, he was a director and he was he was living in New York, you know, just sort of scratching, scratching his money together

to make these independent films. And that's really was the path he was on. So it's it's great that he's had success with his his Fast and the Furious franchise. But I would love to see him direct, you know, because he's he's a really intelligent filmmaker. But, you know, he's played that character of Don for so long. You think of him that way. But that was really the origin of his career. Yeah, he's got a pretty good good going, though. Yes. Like you cashed in serious checks in that franchise. Yes. He's not sitting with us at the Mayweather McGregor fight.

He's sitting all the way down ringside. That's because he's also a little shorter. Yeah. He's like my height. Yeah. Yeah. People don't know. So I was reading up about your career. I mean, this is just crazy. You you spent some of your childhood on a boat traveling the South Pacific Island. Is that right? Yeah. In the 70s, my my parents built a 50 foot sailboat in their backyard from scratch, you know, a fiberglass slupe 50 feet long. And then they launched it. And so I was about five years old, 70 and 75, I guess we launched and moved on board.

And then we spent the next five years cruising it and a few of those years through the South Pacific Islands. And then later in my 20s, actually, before I did Private Ryan, my dad and I, we just the two of us again offshore, you know, the Hawaii and Alaska and and then he carried on through Southeast Asia. And I would just sort of fly, you know, whenever I could between films and see him and whether he was in Thailand or Malaysia or whatever. Yeah. So he's definitely a seafarer. But it was interesting way to grow up, you know, because he did he navigated us halfway around the world with just a sextant, you know, celestial navigation, the same way Columbus navigated, like no GPS, no electronics.

It was just a miracle we survived. Holy shit. What did you guys do all day? Yeah, you're underrating this, by the way. You're like very casual about this. You know, and I think somebody asked me that about like, how did I get into the I mean, and I think it was those formative years, you know, like, no, all imagination games. We didn't have TV. We didn't really have radio, you know, a little bit of classic rock or whatever. But, you know, it was all imagination games, you know, because you're on this 50 foot by 14 foot wide sailboat. Sometimes, you know, crossing between nations would be three weeks at sea without seeing horizon, you know, just and then you'd get smoked by some big white squall and

everything would get wiped off the deck of the boat and everybody'd be crying and freaking out and and yeah, it's some pretty wild times at sea. And so, you know, you kind of live in your imagination as a child. I was just five through 10 years old. And then my two older brothers really heightened my imagination skills. Seriously. So, wait, what happened when you came back when you were like 10? Did you just go to school and you're like, Hey, I've just been out at sea for the last five years. What's up, guys? I'm Barry. Well, we've been home schooled for all those years, too. And which was pretty cool. Like you get your homework done and then you just dive off the boat and go, you know, just give it to Ivan or spear, spearfishing snorkeling or spearfishing or

go climb a coconut tree. And it was kind of like, yeah, a little bit of like a Swiss family Robinson upbringing, because of course, we're in the tropics. And we weren't a well off family. So, we didn't go to the, you know, the expensive fancy ports and island groups, kind of like the places where they shot survivor that that was sort of where we ended up on the small atolls and islands where the local people lived. And you could kind of just live on a dime. Wow. So, going to school on a boat that size, is it difficult to write on a boat? Well, you know, we would eventually get to harbor and eat anchor and you'd be in a protected atoll or somewhere. And yeah, so it'd be calm. But at sea, yeah, it was just, it was very, very difficult because you'd be like this.

Sailing, you know, you're sailing from say, Hawaii to the Marqueses or Fiji or Tonga, or New Zealand or wherever you might be sailing. And sometimes those crossings, like I say, would be so you go, you know, you go a little bit stir crazy. Yeah. So then, then you come back to land and then I would imagine it might be difficult to make friends after having that have been such a formative experience in your life. But I did read that you were a really good athlete in high school. I'm wondering if that kind of helped you bridge the gap and kind of introduce you to people. Yeah. My dad and my, actually my eldest brother and I, we all played on the same

baseball team growing up. So that was pretty cool. You know, it was always sort of a family thing. We were always doing sports together. So yeah, my dad was a lumberjack. He was a follower, like feltries for living up on the Pacific Northwest. So I guess he kind of passed on that to us to not let anybody mess with us. And so yeah, it was always sports and boxing or whatever. And no, we didn't have any trouble integrating, but it was more just that lack of freedom or that a loss of freedom, right? Like I say, finish your schoolwork and then just go and cruise up through the jungle or dive into the ocean and play all day in the tropics. Yeah. It says that you played fastball on your Wikipedia page. I didn't know if that was like

a Canadian term for baseball or if that was accurate. Yeah. Yeah, they was in Canada, they just called it baseball. But yeah, it's usually like a beer league, a men's beer league, you know, would be like a fastball. No. Got a fast pitch. Yeah. Yeah. We played a lot of ag grown up because there wasn't a lot of baseball and there wasn't a lot of football. In Canada, grown up in Canada was mostly rugby and fast pitch. And until you, until you, you know, graduated into a, you know, a higher level. Yeah. My brother, my brother played AAA ball, but yeah, we, we were in kind of, we were in, we were in rural small town. So it was like, rugby was popular because, you know, all you needed was a mouth guard.

Yeah. You didn't have to buy all the expensive gear. You're the Canadian Dosecki Sky. You're, I mean, you just dropped that your brother played AAA ball. Like that's, that's not nothing. AAA ball is like right there. It's, it's pretty damn hard to play AAA ball. It was because of him. In fact, this is my, my 40, my 40 year old Yankees cap that I inherited from him when I was just 10 years old. And so I, I became a Yankees fan because he was the Yankees fan. And, and then I ended up doing a film with Billy Crystal called 61 years later where Roger Marys. So I was kind of, I was kind of a neat evolution, you know, growing up idolizing my older brother who was this Yankees fan and,

and then getting to play Roger. That was kind of cool. Yeah. That was a great movie. What, what's your favorite role that you've played or the role that you like, if someone said to you at the end of your career, you know, you want to be remembered for this role or that role, is there a specific one that, that sticks out, sticks out to you? Yes, it's interesting because I'm a character actor, right? And I'm, I'm a journeyman actor. I'm not A-list. You know, I, I get a lot of supporting, a lot of good supporting characters. So it's been really diverse, you know, like, I really enjoyed playing Lucky Ned Pepper in True Grit. And if I could, you know, do a Western series, I'd love to do a Western series. You know,

you can't play Jackson forever. You can't be the sniper. And that's what ended up happening after Stephen Brown, Ryan, is you kind of get slotted into, you know, everybody wants you to play the psychopath, you know, the next sniper or the next, you know, that guy. And so I was trying to, you know, find diversity and ended up really, you know, being able to slip into these different character roles. For me, that's what's been really cool is that I can disappear into those roles because I'm not overexposed as an actor. People go like, I didn't even know you were in that. And that's kind of a compliment. So it's challenging for me, like to say was playing Robert Kennedy, you know, better than playing Lucky Ned Pepper. I mean, it's just so different. And I think that's,

that's kind of the fun of being a character actor. But so sorry, I could really be hard to choose. Yeah. No, that's an interesting answer though, because it's a lot of times someone who has a career where they've done a bunch of different things and, and Ben, like, you know, maybe not the lead role in all these movies, they might say like, Oh, I should have had more leads. Like, but it's interesting to have that perspective of like, people don't even realize I'm in something which is almost a compliment because that means you did such a great job at it. Yeah. Like, I mean, certainly not making the bank that Ben, you know, Ben is making in the, in the Fast and the Furious type series. And that's, that's an awesome franchise that he's built.

But it's just a different career path. You know, he's, he's done really well with that. And, but I, I really kind of enjoy the diversity of the different roles I get. And I also like to live really rural. I, you know, I live in the country, I'm a dual citizen, but I have a home in Canada and I like to spend a fair bit of time up here. I hunt and fish and I have a big garden and an orchard and we kind of live rural, you know, and so you can, it's kind of tricky to have one foot in and one foot out. And in terms of a career, then, you know, you're going to, there's a flip side to that, right? You get your anonymity and your freedom and you get to live the life the way you want and you get to raise your kids, but you also not going to get the best

roles. You know, so you got to, you got to, you know, find your balance with it. It sounds like a great balance though. It sounds like what you have right now is what a lot of people are chasing when they go after the big roles, when they want to be, you know, the A-list guy. They just want happiness and like a little bit of peace and financial security. It sounds like that's what you've got, which is awesome for you. You mentioned, you brought up the term character actor and I wanted to ask you about that because, well, just kind of talk to me like we're, I don't know, four or five years old and maybe you can explain a little bit better. What is the difference between being a character actor and just being a really good actor? Like,

in other words, why don't they give like lead roles to the character guy? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I think part of it is your personality too, right? If you're, if you're happy to do all the talk shows and you're really willing to be a celebrity and show your personality and always sort of be available, then people get to know you as sort of, you know, their friend and neighbor and, but it's challenging for us as viewers to escape with them. You're like, oh, that's so-and-so, but he's just wearing a mustache because he's a celebrity and it's really hard for them not to break the fourth wall. The anonymity to your life, you can disappear because people are like, what's that guy's name again? And, oh, he played that and, you know, it's just,

it's like somebody I really respect is Harrison Ford, but he's not a character actor. He always plays Harrison Ford or Tom Cruise. He always plays Tom Cruise, whereas Tom Hanks has that sort of ability to chameleonize a bit, but he's become Tom Hanks so much to the point where it's really challenging for him now because, you know, he can't escape like he used to. Right. Into the, you know, we still love him and we still, you know, watch every movie he's in, but it's, yeah, it's like, you're not really asking Harrison Ford to do anything other than be Harrison Ford in every, I guess that, I don't know if that's a convoluted way of explaining it, but- It's actually a great answer. I never thought of it-

If you're really overexposed, if you're really overexposed, then it's really challenging to disappear and so it's a fine line. Yeah, that's fascinating. I hadn't thought of it from the perspective of somebody doing all the publicity and then connecting with someone, people outside of their movies, making it kind of like a challenge to do that. And I'm not trying to bullshit you guys like, I mean, there's obviously a certain freedom, financial freedom in life that comes with being a celebrity and it's not, it's just that there is a trade-off, you know, like would I be disappointed if I was doing a big franchise that exploded and, you know, well, that would be nice financial freedom, but you certainly

trade your anonymity and your freedom instantly. So it is what it is. You know what, I don't know that I really tried to design it at all other than the fact that I wanted to just live where I live and do what I do and not chase it very hard. And if good roles come my way, then great. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's a fascinating career and I think you do have an unbelievable perspective. I would imagine this is why you're also just not on social media too, which that has to be, I would guess that growing up on a boat and then having the career you have, you probably think the internet is pretty foolish, which I agree with you, but I'm addicted to it. I know, you know, I think I'm just not very disciplined. I think it's such a dumpster fire

would suck me right. Then I'd be, then I'd be axed, you know, and I just know, I just know my, so I got to get too political and things would upset me and I would say stupid shit. And so, yeah, I think it's just better. And two, I, you know, I'm 51. So I grew up without all of that. And so it's actually challenging for me to feed it. I'm not good at, I would just, like the managers and the agents or whatever they tell you, well, you have to, you have to tend to this garden, you know, like you got to, you got to feed that thing. And I just like, I'm never going to do that. I'll be out working on my motorcycles or hunting or fishing or whatever, like just live in a life. I don't really want to be like, here's me living a life, you know.

I'm going to say it right now. I think you might have the best perspective of any guests we've ever had on this show. You're, you're just a cool guy. I think you're very chill. Yeah, yeah. Chill Barry. Yeah. Yeah. Barry's a great name. And we've met before. Right. Exactly. We hung out sort of at the main weather. Were you, were you drunk for that as drunk as us? We were pretty drunk. I can't remember honestly. I try not to at those events because like I say, I was kind of like, I worked at event. Right. So the show time just hands me some tickets. I didn't choose those seats. But so I, I used to go to the, I got a new press before and then I got to go to these parties and shouldn't and talk, you know, to all the producers. And so I, I generally

try, but yeah, I might have had a few tipples. All right. We had, we drank more than enough for you that night. We don't even remember the fight. We were so drunk. We thought, uh, we thought McGregor had a real shot at winning. We walked out being like, I think he almost won that fight. Yeah, you know, but what's interesting though is like what I was trying to, what I was arguing as I was in there is like, this is boxing, man. It, what I, what I always feel like, and I love, I love MMA. I love UFC. I'm actually embarrassed to say I'm kind of curious about this aspirin fight. I just hope that he kicks, you know, the kids ass, but, um, but I, I, I always feel like, well they, you know, Mayweather or, or Jake Paul or whatever his name is,

should really honor their sport too. They, they, they talk such a big game, but they would never go into the octagon. Right. And to me that like for that, for that Mayweather, McGregor fight, I kind of felt like, well, this is sort of a fight. It's not really, um, in, in, in McGregor's domain, he would have absolutely torn a Mayweather apart. Right. And so it's kind of interesting. I just sort of, I guess that's why I put much more credence in respect to what McGregor did than what Mayweather did. Agreed. Agreed. And it was the show too. You know, it was a spectacle. Yes, it was a show. I think everybody went into it rooting for, or a lot of people rooting for an upset and also just the song that Conor McGregor had that his fans were saying. That's what made

us, actually it's more, it was half that we were drunk and then half that we wanted to just be able to sing that song in the event that he won, that made us put money on McGregor. But yeah, it was a fun fight. Had a great time at it. Such a gladiatorial, such a gladiatorial feel when that Senado Conor pipes the pipe start. That was just amazing. Yeah. I noticed you brought out the New York Yankees hat earlier, your Yankees fan. Do you, and you played Roger Maris. Do you think that Roger Maris is the homerun king still? I do. You know, it's funny, Billy Crystal and Thomas Jane, and I, we just did this sort of Zoom reunion for some, for some show and recently, because it was 20 year, 20 year anniversary. And I was kind of saying that, that asterisk to me sort of represents,

you know, the real deal. Right. What it originally was intended for. But yeah, in a way, it's sort of that asterisk represents like the real homerun king in my estimation. I mean, I think it's widely understood now. In fact, McGuire called Roger Maris's widow, Pat, who is still alive living in Fargo. No, sorry, she lives in Florida. But anyway, he called her and apologized to her for the shame that he brought to that record and breaking Roger's record and it being so well known that he was juiced the whole time and it really wasn't a genuine record. And I thought that was quite honorable of him, actually. He broke down in tears, apparently, on the phone call and with him to declare that to her. But the whole family was quite impressed that he would

make that phone call. So to me, whatever, I don't care. I mean, it is what it is. You know, I don't know how you would ever separate at all. I mean, there's so many different eras of baseball where the ball has been juiced, the bats that, you know, and things change. Like, look at Roger and Mickey, they were smoking and drinking in the dugout, you know, making $36,000 a year back then. It's crazy. So it's so different. And they didn't even really work out. They were just farm boys. They'd be working on the farm in the off season and then go play baseball because they, you know, they didn't make enough money to raise their families on that. Yeah, it's crazy. We've had George Brett on the show a couple of times and he's admitted like he didn't really work out in the

off season. Like he would go for runs and stuff, but like the actual weight training and all this stuff, it didn't really exist in his career. And it's just incredible to think about how incredible athletically these guys were with, like, not having it be their full, full-time job where you see athletes now and all they do is train and they have nutritionists and everything. So yeah, I agree with you. Roger Maris, like the asterix, it's almost been reversed now. He gets the asterix on everyone else and that's the real home run king. Yeah, you wonder, you know, how maybe a Muhammad Ali would fare against Tyson Fury or whoever. Like it's so interesting to take those arrows and it's almost like a moot conversation. Yeah. Yeah. But it's kind of cool.

What about Barry Bonds though? Is there any Barry to Barry mutual respect? I don't know anything about him, man. No. All right. Maybe you'll get the Barry Bonds movie. That would be 73 asterix. You could be Jeff Kent. Yeah, you could be Jeff Kent. That would be great. I'd probably have to, you know, gain a few inches. Well, Barry, this has been awesome, man. We really appreciate it. Yeah, everyone go watch Trigger Point. I'm going to watch it. It's out April 16th on On Demand and in theaters. And next time, if you're ever in New York City, we'd love to do it in person because we hate the Zoom stuff sucks at some point. It's frustrating because you're an interesting dude. Right on. You guys too. Thank you so much and really nice to see you again.

Nobody is a story of Hutch Mansell played by the beloved Bob Odenkirk. Hutch is a suburban guy that nobody pays much attention to. Just a clock puncher, boring dad type, underestimated and overlooked. One night, two thieves break into his family's house and the guy just freezes. He fails to protect his wife and kids. He becomes a laughing stock of the whole neighborhood

and at his job. But this is a classic case of picking on the wrong guy. Turns out this guy's normal suburban life is just a front. The long dormant rage in him finally boils over and activates a dark past he fought to bury. Then all hell breaks loose. It's got Bob Odenkirk kicking ass. That's really all that you need to know. One of the greatest actors of our generation, Bob Odenkirk is now in an action movie. You know him from Better Call Saul. You know him from Breaking Bad. He used to write for SNL. I love Mr. Show with Bob and David. He got to start as a comedy writer. He trained for over a year to get into shape for this role. It couldn't be more satisfying to watch him kick ass. I'm going to watch it. I'm going to watch Nobody, either Friday

or Saturday. I haven't had a movie that I've been this excited about in a long, long time. You should check it out too. The film also co-stars the incredible Connie Nielsen, legendary Emmy Award winner Christopher Lloyd and multi hyphenate musician actor The RZA. In theaters and on demand now. In theaters and on demand now. Check it out. Nobody. Now here he is Will Zalatoris. And now for something completely different. Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is Will Zalatoris. You saw him in Augusta, finished second and we just met on Zoom and I said you beat the odds and what I mean by that is you lost me money on Sunday, but I still wanted you on because I was, I was riding the Z train

all weekend and it was a fucking thrilling ride. So congrats on that. Usually if someone loses us a bet, we like swear them off forever, but you survived that. I've had like 150 Venmo requests for like way to lose by one asshole or something like that. It's, it's been so, it's been so funny. I've been laughing because I've seen like $110 or something like that. I'm like, unbelievable. Well, you can afford it now. Yeah. Has the direct deposit hit yet? I gotta be honest. I have not looked. That's insane. I would just be refreshing over and over again. Yeah. Yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm actually really surprised I've made it this far, but yeah. Look right now.

Go home and look right now. Hell yeah. All right. All right. I'll look for you. When we had a Max on Homa, he, he was, he, it was right after his hit for his win. Yeah. And he was pretty, pretty pumped about it. Just lighting $100 bills on fire. Not not yet. Oh, shit. Okay. That's okay. That's okay. That's okay. We can recover from this. I like that mentality though. Yeah. That's, that's good. I like the fact you're like, fuck it. It'll be in there when it's in there. You're hungry. They're good for it. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yes, they are. So, so we, I was reading up about it. You finished second in the masters. You won $1.2 million. You're now like, you know, an established, I think top 30 or something.

And yet you still don't have your PGA card. How the hell does that work? Yeah. I mean, it's, it's weird, but I mean, it is what it is. Like I can't get frustrated about it because it's not like they're going to change it. But, you know, I have to win to get into FedExCup playoffs, but I've already got my card blocked up for next year and I'm already in, I'm into the major split, the next, I guess until the masters of next year. So in a weird way, I'm kind of playing with house money. Like every week finishing second means as much as finishing 20th. I mean, granted, there's a little bit of a prize money difference, but like it doesn't change. Like I have to go out and win. And, you know, the reality is like

those guys that have come out hot, they've always won. And so you've got the Colin Moore, Cowell's, the Victor Hovelins, Matt Wolf, you know, those guys have come out and they've won. So they've been, you know, members immediately, even though they started the year with no status. Well, for me, coming from the corn fairy tour is just a little bit different. And I'm, you know, keep doing what I'm doing. We'll get that first one. It's just crazy that you won all that money. You finished second. You were like everyone, you know, I'm not going to say household name, but you kind of were after this weekend. And you technically, if you don't win, you don't get to play in the playoff, even though you'd be top 15. Yeah. So I mean, yeah. So I think someone said to me today

that I think if I was on the list, I would have been 13th or something like that on the FedEx Cup list. But I mean, jobs that go out and go on a golf tournament, I know it's like, I'm kind of looking at it a little more stoic than I should, I guess. But, you know, getting mad is not going to solve any problems. So it is what it is. And I'm in a really weird spot. Like I don't think there's really been anyone in the spot maybe ever. So yeah, I got a solution for you. And this is part of the reason why we wanted to have you on. So we wanted to offer an invitation. We talked to Max Homa and Brooks Kepka as an official golfer that pardon my take roots for. Now we're not golf guys. So we're it's a very select group.

But what you just described is exactly what we do as a podcast. We will get mad at the PGA for you. We you can be stoic and we can be bitter and like petty attack dogs attack dogs. Yeah, all for a small nominal fee of all future winnings. Do you accept? It's non-negotiable, right? Non-negotiable. Max and Brooks are in. Unless you have a counteroffer. Yes. Yeah. Well, it's non-negotiable than yeah, man. All right. Perfect. Perfect. That's that's amazing. Tell you what, just give us your banking password. We'll we'll check for you. So you don't have to spend all this time refreshing that screen like you've been doing nonstop. We'll let you know when it goes in. I'm interested to hear what your mentality was going into the week and like how

confident you were. I'll put it this way. When you booked your stay, did you book it through Friday or did you book it through Sunday night? Monday, actually. Just knowing Monday because of the weather for one, because we were going to have a lot of weather, but I was, you know, I don't mean to minimize the moment because when I stood on the first tee, I was talking to my catty and it's like, look, I've wanted to be in this situation my whole life. Final group of the masters like everything that I've ever wanted. And I thought that that weight would have made me more nervous. And I kind of told my catty, I was like, I thought that I was going to have like a Lex or next level like nervousness. And I didn't have that. It was kind of the, I just kind of had

an attitude of like the hell of it. Like we're, we're here. Let's, I mean, the kind of what my catty Ryan told me is like, you know, he's a military buff and he's like weapons free boys. I mean, we're going like, this is it. I mean, so we just, that whole weekend, I, you know, it's like, Hey, finishing second means as much as finishing third, fourth, fifth, sixth, whatever. Like, you know, we're out here to go win a green jacket. So let's go get it. And I saw the quote you said that you told your family, like if I'm stupid enough to think I can play here, then I'm stupid enough to think I can win it. And that's, I mean, that's kind of the perfect, that's why you fit perfectly with this podcast. The whole like ethos is we're just dumb

enough to think we can be successful. Like we're, we don't actually realize we shouldn't be. Yeah. I mean, the whole, that kind of the whole quote was really from over the last year, we've had so much going on between COVID and whatnot. Like if COVID didn't happen, I wouldn't have even tried to qualify for the US Open, but then I was given a spot anyway, and the US Open moves to September. So I'm able to play and, or even I wasn't even going to try to qualify. So I'm even given a spot. It's in a time that fits because I was going to try to put all my focus on the cornberry tour to get to the PGA tour. And then finishing six in the US Open, finish eighth and next week, next week, turn that into a special temporary status, work my way up the world rankings,

and it gets me into the masters. I'm in the final group on Saturday. So that's what I mean. It's like, this is so stupid. It's insane. Yeah. Like, yes. So that's why that was kind of like, you know, if someone told me I was going to play in the masters, let alone be in the final group on a Saturday six months ago, I would have thought you were high. Yeah. And Monday, the Monday checkout is, I like it. I mean, like Max, you know, who's also now a brother in arms for you, because he's part of the group. I think he did early checkout on Friday. I think he was like, I'll be out of here by 11am. So you said that you were dumb enough to think that you could win the whole thing.

Let's see how dumb you are. What what will your champion's dinner be when you do win the masters? Oh, God, I ain't gotten that far. It's going to be, oh, man, probably something like Oh, God, I hate just going like full, just big old fat piece of meat. Like, you know, just I live in Dallas. We got steak places everywhere. Just give me a big old hawken piece of meat, some baked potato and I don't know, get the veggies for some of the guys who eat plain. What do you think about maybe pigs in a blanket? Big cat really wanted you to say pigs in a blanket. That's that I did see that. That's actually that was a sick idea. I was I was jealous of that. But any I mean, that's why I need to think about it. You need to come up with something original

like pigs in a blanket never been at that dinner. I'm sure there's guys that are sitting there and they're like, what is this? Like, is it a hot dog? Like, what am I eating? Right? Right. So I'm all yeah, I'll need to think of something creative. And if that I got to win the damn thing first, but yeah, I'll have a year to think about it. Well, here's something creative. If you want to do a big piece of meat, we'll just have it be big piece of meat and our intern Billy cooks it. And it's just the worst piece of meat ever. So it's like, that's the Matt just offends everyone at Augusta forever. And it's like special, it says on the menu, like specially cooked by a man who does not know how to cook meat in Billy football. Oh my God. I love the

I was just gonna say, I love the next day. Yeah, Billy. Yes. Yes. I love the lie that you guys use when you're talking about me on the recap with the, he looks like, he looks like Billy, if he didn't play sports, he played, he did tick tock instead. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. That was, that was amazing. What so what, like, how much you weigh? We could say this because we're friends. Yeah. No, the honest to God, 165. Do you think you can put a little weight on that frame? Yeah. I mean, I mean, I'm a yo-yo. That's the part that's so funny is like, I've been up to 180, I go down to like 155. And so the last like year, I've been kind of in this weird like 160, 165 spot, but I think I'll, I think probably this off season, I'll do a little bit of bulking up,

not, I mean, not Bryson level by any means, but the main reason is just because it's like, if I'm going to play 30 weeks out here, like I got to have some reserves. Like it's just, it's one thing to do it in January through April, but you know, when it comes to September, and it's just like all systems go going after FedExCup, like I got to have some reserves. Yeah. I think what we do is we, we make like a documentary like Bryson did his own at home documentary about how he put on whatever, 60 pounds. We just make it your goal to get up to 180 pounds, the quest for 180. And then all you do is you just eat a big Texas cinnamon roll every single day one day and hit 180. And then, and then I think you're good. I think then you

avoid all the skinny jokes out there. Yeah. Yeah. No, y'all are hired as nutritionists. Okay. That's a dangerous thing to do. We've got our plates. Have you seen us? Like that's, okay. No, no, you know what? I will take that job. We will take that job. That's absolutely great. How much do you bench? God, I, all these golf workouts, we don't like grabbing an actual bench. It's always like one-handed, like isometric stuff. So I've probably haven't benched probably since college, but yeah, I don't even know. I'm like, I probably look like Kevin Durant in the combine where they gave him the 225 and went straight to his chest and they had to pick it back up. Yes. Yes. That's okay. That's okay. So I, the, the reason I started to bet on you was Jim Nance

was talking about how much Tony Romo loves you and he's golfed with you a bunch and like he's getting, you know, Will's going to be a stud and I'm so sick of Tony Romo being right while I'm wrong. So I was like, all right, I'm going to bet on him. Turns out Tony Romo was not right this time, whatever. That's beside the point. But you do golf a lot with Tony Romo, correct? Like is he as good as everyone says he is? Yeah. We kind of over the last two to probably three years, we've played a lot of golf. Like when we had our COVID four month break, we played five days a week. I mean, some days it was, or some weeks it was like literally two weeks straight, just a standing game every single day. And, you know, I'll pay the guy compliment, even though it tastes like

vinegar coming out of my mouth, because we, our little money matches are, you know, they're, they're death matches. I mean, we're trying to absolutely beat each other's brains in. But the guy works at it. He's taught me, I mean, he's taught me a lot about how he went about playing football. And there's a lot of stuff that kind of goes back to golf. And there's some questions that he asks that I don't even know the answer to. Like there's just, they're so out there. The guy just eats, breathes golf. I mean, just, I mean, he's sending me swing videos at 1130 some nights. Of him just hitting balls and his, you know, bare feet. And he goes, well, what do you think about this move? Cause Hogan did it. I'm like, dude, go to bed. Like, like, if I'm not up practicing

right now, I think you're good. Like just go to sleep. And, but he's just, I mean, that's the thing is like, he can be as good as he wants to be. I think the next step for him is just going to be learning and learning kind of like how to play the game. The guy is a genius when it comes to the mechanics. Like he understands people's golf swings better than I even think some coaches do with their students just because he sits there and he studies and nonstop. But it's like, if I stick him behind a tree and it's like, okay, safe par from here, that's what we got to work on. That's good. He'll get there. He'll get there. I mean, it speaks to his mentality. That's kind of what made him a successful quarterback was having that drive to be like, okay, I'm going to work

at night when everybody else isn't. And even though I'm, you know, a kid from a small school, I might get to be the starting quarterback at the Cowboys. Does he, does he talk to the ball when it's in the air or when, when he's putting and it's rolling in? Is he like, I don't know. Nobody does with everybody else though. He's a guy that it's probably the, it's so funny because it's like, we'll be playing a game against each other and he'll be like, how far do you have? What'd you hit? How'd you hit it? How far do you think you carried that? And I'm like, I don't know. Just hit a shot. You're probably going to not get it inside of me. Let's just move on. Okay. Like just, just he always asks like the nonstop questions. And it's like, finally,

when he's on my team, he's like the greatest teammate ever. But it's like, when you're funny, gets him. He's like, what'd you hit? How far? Where's the wind going? I'm like, Oh my God. That's funny. Yeah. He's trying to find that edge. I mean, everyone says that he's really, really good golfer. It'd be crazy if he went to the PJ tour. I don't know if like, what is that difference? Cause he's obviously very good. He probably beat you some days, but is it, is it really like that much more of a mountain that he has to climb to get to that level? So his good days are totally good enough to play it to a level. It's just the bad is just where he's got to fix it. And you know, I think he's a great chipper and putter. He's a pretty good iron player. For

him, it's just getting off the tee and the days when he drives it well, I give him three shots aside in our game. So he gets six shots total. And if he drives it well, it's going to be really hard for me to beat him. I mean, that's the thing about him is like, just because he doesn't, he's not the greatest driver and he'll figure it out. Like the guy, like I said, he's just nonstop. He hits golf balls just every day. It's like, if you family dinners at six, he's like, Oh, that means I can leave at six. It's like, like, dude, go home, get out of here, come back tomorrow. Like you've been hit balls for eight hours today. But the big thing with him is that when he drives it well, he's going to make like five or six birdies. And that means I'm going to have to go out and shoot

like 63 or four to beat him. And he's capable of doing it. But it's just the days where it's like, you know, start missing fairways and, you know, all of a sudden makes two or three birdies instead, shoot 75 or six. And that's just the difference. But that he'll get there. That's the thing is like the guy, the guy just loves it. I mean, he even said it about football. It's an unhealthy obsession. Yeah. Yeah, I believe it. So were you able to see the Adam Sandler tweet at you before you teed off on Sunday? Did you know that he was out there watching you? No, so I didn't see it till Sunday night. And I've gotten that comparison probably since I was like 17. I qualified for a event in LA or the LA Open and golf channel posted a picture of me. And I had long hair back then

too. And they're like, Oh my God, this guy's, you know, Sandler or Happy Gilmore's Caddy's playing in the PGA tour now. Like, who the hell is this kid? And then I finally let the hair grow back out during COVID. And of course, it's just like nonstop now with, you know, more publicity with Owen Wilson, Happy Gilmore. Butch Harman said, I look like a one iron without a grip on it. I mean, it's like, so I just, I love it. I think it's so funny. I think they're the worst comparisons that you could have. Yeah. Like they could probably post Malone or Kid Rock all the time. And that would suck if that happened to you. But I think, I do think you look more like Billy. I think you're like vegan Billy football. Yeah. It's also, I love it. It's also refreshing because you, you know,

a lot of times, not even just golf, every sport, you know, athletes take themselves very seriously. So to have fun with it shows like, that's what we're looking for in a team member in this crew. I saw, congrats on getting verified. I saw when you, like on Saturday, I think you had 3000 Twitter followers. Now you have 60,000 plus. So that's kind of cool. Has it been just a whirlwind? I mean, I'd imagine it's, it's got to be a little, you had the US open, but this was the masters and it was, you know, finishing second. It has to be a little bit crazy in your head, I'd imagine. Yeah. That's a little different. I mean, the part that's been funny to me is like, you know, everything's still fresh. And so, you know, I'd go to Whole Foods to go pick up some,

you know, water and whatnot. And all of a sudden this guy was like, Oh my God, love watching. You gotta get a picture. And I'm like, dude, I finished second. Like I didn't win. Yeah. I'm like, you know, it's great. I mean, it's obviously, you know, being the underdog, I think is what a lot of people really loved. And I've felt it on Sunday too. But I don't think it'll, I mean, it's not really been a whirlwind, but I think it'll kind of kick in when I go back home and just kind of see all the boys and whatnot and kind of try to go back to a little more normality. And all of a sudden it's like, you know, this is different. Yeah. Yeah. Well, now you have the protection of us. Do you have any enemies?

Yeah, we need to know that. No, I mean, I'm still, I mean, I'm still a rookie, man. I haven't had enough time to make any enemies out here. Yeah. Well, just in general, like what's your least favorite airline or just anything that you don't like? I need to know something that you hate so I can also start to hate it. Oh God, I gotta think about this. Oh, well, the fact you mentioned airline, thinking this through when my bag's 52 pounds and they want to charge me a hundred bucks. Yeah. All right. That, that to me, that's like all-time work. You should, I mean, in that situation, this is good that you're on so we can help you problem solve this. You could simply say to them, Hey guys, like my bag plus me is not even a real

like grown man. So don't worry about it. Yeah. I've probably saved a thousand dollars for some of the airlines from kind of sticking my foot underneath the bag a little bit and kind of lifting it up when it's on the scale. But it does, it does balance out. Like you could be 50 pounds heavier. Right. Right. Yeah. It'd be like that ocean's 12th character and this fit him in the bag. Yeah. Like nothing happened. Yeah. Like I'm really like, you could just point to a guy like me standing in there with a huge bag and a fat belly. You're like, that guy's like 350 pounds on the plane and you're getting on me and I'm like 185 combined. All right. So no enemies. That's good. So basically what we're going to do is now that you're part of the crew, I don't think we're even

going to open it to anyone else because again, we don't, we don't, we're not big golf guys, but we're big root for our guys guys. The only, the only other guy that I could see us letting into the club is the guy that just vapes all the time. Oh, yeah. Oh, Jared Atcoff and Bonrah. Yeah. Open invite to that guy who's just always blowing clouds on the golf course. That guy's fucking awesome. Yeah. Did you guys ever see the podcast that he did when he talked about his apartment for his shoes? No. Yeah. He's got like, he's got like a hundred thousand dollars worth of Yeezys or something like that. Right. Yeah. He's got a, so I don't remember exactly what the number is, but I know that he had an apartment for his shoes. And I think his wife found out

about the apartment and she's like, what the hell is this? And she, he like showed it to her and he was like, she's like, really? Like, I mean, this is it. I was watched, I can't remember what podcast that was, but that was really funny. Yeah. He's invited. Otherwise, it's just the three of you guys. We need a good, we need a good group nickname for you too. So I don't know. We're tossing around a couple of those, but we'll, we'll figure out a nickname, but yeah, it's essentially we are, and you just got to know that like, we're going to root for Brooks number one, because he's the OG. Max, whenever, you know, I don't know, is he, he, he competes, so we'll root for him. Big Cat loves kind of slandering Max. Well, because he cost Big Cat money. No, also,

he can take it because he's the Twitter roast guy. That's what it's actually lovingly. Like, I know Max can handle a good joke. Max is very good, although are you ahead of him in the rankings though? I don't know. Actually, I really don't know. I mean, the guys won twice. Yeah, but you got second, which in us rugby terms, you're above him. No. So max number two, we're going to, it's, and then you'll be three. So essentially if Brooks and Max can't win, you are, we want you to win every single tournament without, without a doubt, tweeting about it. We'll be having your back. Anyone who comes at us, we'll fight them online. This is all online, by the way. Just so you know, once it crosses over, then that's, that's your bulkier brother, Billy's.

Yeah. Yeah. Billy will fight physically if he needs to, but it's pretty much just defending your honor. And you know, like, here's a little tip for you. There will be, the better you get, the more a claim you get, there will be people who will hate you and we will take care of them. We will tell them and we'll spin zone the hell out of it. So like, I don't know if you saw it. Did you see Brooks on Thursday and Friday? No, I didn't, but I saw that he saw us comments put that way. And he was a hero. Next time you see him, I would, I'd appreciate if he saluted him for everything he's done for us in the game of golf.

I do that anyway, just because he's someone bigger than me. Oh, I've got, I've got actually a golf related question about Augusta, about the course, because we respect that course a lot. And everyone always talks about how, you know, undulated the greens are the local knowledge as Scott Van Pelt put it on Monday. UN, had you played it before at all? Just once. So when you're hitting shots and the ball is landing, were there any shots on, on Saturday or Sunday, where you thought that you were absolutely fucked, where you got a great kick

from the, from the Augusta gods, where you're like, I didn't know that mound was there, but it helped me out. I had on, what was it? I think it was first only comes to mind is definitely Sunday. Well, actually first day, definitely first day, number 15, the greens obviously were baked out like crazy. They were just so firm and you had to be so precise and the pins on the front right corner on that part five. And I had like 195 in so, and it's a little bit downwind and everyone's just landed the ball in the front section of the green. It's just taken one 25 foot hop going over the back and then they're chipping it

basically straight downhill with water behind them. And I think one of the guys playing actually putted one in the water from like 25 feet. But I landed one in a basically a 10 inch section of fringe that was right by a sprinkler head. And so it was just a hair softer and it lands just basically pops left, catches the fringe, rolls down the hill, goes like eight feet and make eagle. And it's like, if that thing literally lands on the green, it is 30 yards past that hole. That's crazy. That's so that's like, that's like a one and a half, maybe probably one and a half almost two shot swing right there. Yeah. So did you bow to the course afterwards? He should have Yeah, he's the OG on that one. He's got me there. Yeah, that was cool. That was a very cool move.

What are you golfing? Are you golfing in a tournament this weekend? Yeah, I'm at Hilton Head. I'm going to play Hilton Head and I got a couple of weeks off. Okay. So is that way is Hilton Head? It's not, no, don't play in the Puerto Rico open. Yeah. Don't play in the Puerto Rico open. If you win that, you're fucked. Yeah. That's actually true. That's true. Yeah. Thankfully, I think it's an opposite field of that. So I just, I'll be in the one of the WGC's. And then wait, is Hilton Head, is this a PGA event? Yeah. I'm teeing off tomorrow. I got Brooke Brooks. I got Dustin Johnson and Billy Horschel.

So so much for going off last of each wave and bringing in the flag sticks for everybody. You know, putting me at the back of the pack. It's a little different now. Okay. Well, I guess that's crazy. I guess we're rooting for you this weekend. Yeah. Yeah. We're big time rooting for you. Is Max in this? I got to, I got to start being nice to Max. We love Max. We're homosexuals. I actually do love Max and I know he can take it. That's why I say these things, but I got to start being nicer to him. I don't see him there. All right. You know what? He's probably just resting up for the next one that he's going to win. All right. Well, this has been

awesome. We thank you. We appreciate you coming on. Oh, one last rule. If you ever win a tournament, you have to come on that Sunday night. That's Sunday night. Yeah. We'll make that happen. Well, actually, no, you could, yeah, that Sunday night. Yeah. You know, 10, 15 minutes. Actually, yeah, Brooks called us from, I think, the bar after he won the US Open. So, yeah, yes, that Sunday night. Yeah. And Brooks is going to call you after one in the US Open. Hell, yeah. Help me in. Well, a few beers. We'll talk it really go over. How about that? Yeah. You just have to do a quick face. Tell you what, if we can lock that in and guarantee, we'll give you back 5% of your career earnings from this point forward. So we only keep 95.

Deal? Perfect. Yeah. I'm all in on that. I'm glad the non-negotiable got taken off the table there. Appreciate that. You just got power shifted. Yeah. Oh, man. All right. Well, thanks so much, man. Really appreciate it. Good luck this weekend. We'll be rooting. I don't think Brooks or Max are playing. So you're our guy. I love it. Thanks, boys. Really appreciate it. Very happy for you.

I have not been back to the dog park. Okay, there's the update. So Normie's getting fat. No, he's going long walks. Well, he's thick and fat.

Is he a Pog? And long. Sounds like he's just a Pog. Yeah, he's not fat at all. If he was fat, he wouldn't even be able to walk because his stomach could be on the ground. I have a couple of Firefest. Someone else dragging on the ground. Well, one is about Normie. Ria, my girlfriend, we, she posted like a TikTok about her dog being cute or whatever and someone was like, all right, you know, let's see the dog. So she posted TikTok with like cute pictures of Norman and the comments just absolutely, as I felt like, you know, big cat, I hope your kid never gets bullied. I hope he never comes home and is like, look at all these people said mean things about me. As a father, I felt so bad. It broke my heart. Just people saying the meanest things.

Do you have an ugly dog? People saying he looks like Steve Buscemi. Yeah. Steve Buscemi is actually good looking. That dog looks like a collection of genetic errors. Served at ground. 511 likes. Wait, say that again. Hold on. Say that again. That dog looks like and keep in mind from user, user 5634569823. And the picture is getter from real bros, the baby guy and says that dog looks like a collection of genetic errors. That's the comment. I open my, I see the TikTok. I'm like, oh, it's a cute, you know, obviously my dog cute. Let's see what the comments say. Top comment is roasting them. That's what we all are. And the second comment says Normie looks like Steve Buscemi.

But Steve Buscemi again, like he's kind of a heartthrob if you look at it, right? There is a special place in hell for people who comment about a dog's looks online. People said my hedgehog looked like a naked mole rat. Well, dude, we're not talking about hedgehogs. Hedgehogs aren't real. Hedgehogs are not. That's not a pet. It gives the fuck about a dog. Exactly like a naked mole rat.

Yeah. Jesus. Billy, you're trying to be relatable, Billy. Yeah, dude, that reminds me of the time that... Listen, my worm farm got roasted on Twitter too. People don't like cool stuff. Yeah, my albino salamander. People were saying it wasn't hot. I actually have another one that I wasn't going to bring to the show. I forgot to text you guys. I was going to save for the show. I forgot about it until right now. On Saturday, remember we talked about you're going to have to get Norman's horny up or whatever?

Yes, for the boys. For the boys. It happened. He started humping, going crazy. His dick came all the way out and he just stood there for 10 minutes, not moving. And I felt bad for him, so I got an ice cube out and I had to hold an ice cube on his dick so it would go back in. Hey! That doesn't... You didn't have to do that. I did. You could have just not touched his penis.

No, I did that for 10 minutes and he literally stood still. No, I'm curious what went through your head where you're like, my dog has a boner. I better go to the freezer and get an ice cube out and then hold it onto his penis. Because he stood still for 10 minutes just staring. Has he been neutered yet? Yes. And I was like, all right, I got to do something because clearly... Yeah, this bro is down bad. I got to jerk him off.

So he was just like staring at you just with a huge boner hanging out. Yeah. Dog Sean Watson. Damn. Yeah, it was tough. So yeah, I'm going to go into my other firefests. It's not even this. What is your other firefests?

Well, I saw Quiggs. I saw Quiggs's tweet. He's down way worse, but Dogecoin is blowing up. He has been in on this for like 10 years. Like Liam was there. We were joking around. This was like a year, year and a half ago. Late night, we're joking around. He had been talking about Doge.

I was like, all right, sell me on Doge. He did. I was like, all right, I'm going to put 500 into it. Basically, he has a joke and then I ended up selling it like a little while later. Like it didn't do anything for like two months and now. How much would it have been worth? He on on July 6th, 2020 said, I am now a proud owner of 1.3 million Dogecoin. That would be worth like 250 grand.

Dude, he also has, he used to get paid in Bitcoin and he lost the wallet. Like like in 2011. Yeah. So he like, I feel kind of the same way because like I would be, I would probably have like 10 grand or something, but at least I'm not Quiggs. Yeah, he's got paper hands. Jesus. I still have my Dogecoin.

It wasn't that much, but I'm looking pretty nice. My portfolio is very strong at the moment. That's crazy. Damn. All right. PFT, what's your what's your firefest? My firefest of the week is I lost my beach house. So I had our firefest.

I know, man. I'm telling you, it would have been. How'd you lose it? It was going to be sick. They ended up selling the house. So that's what they tell people. They don't want to rent it. It was going to be white boys summer.

They had an offer that I knew the offer was coming through. I didn't know if it was going to hit, but it was perfect. It was right on the beach, on the Jersey Shore, right next to a bar, like literally on the beach. So now I got to go back to zero. I'm still getting the Jeep. I'm still going Jeep Wrangler, taking all the doors off. It's going to be the summer PFT live there, live out of the Jeep on the beach. That's not a bad idea.

Actually adds a terrible idea, but now I got to go back to square one and start looking for beach houses on the beach. They're few and far between right now. So I'm probably going to end up getting a dump, as opposed to this really nice one. And I would spend all day just looking at the Airbnb, looking at the porch, overlooking the ocean, just thinking to myself, that's going to be you this summer. Now I got to do it all over again. Damn.

I know. It really is a firefest for me. I'm sorry. All right. I have two firefests. Oh, shit, shit. Here we go. This is the pump up part of the song.

This really isn't the sad part. You know what? I'm going to go. This is me holding an ice cube on Norman's deck. You're trying to fix them. No, you already fixed them. Yeah. All right.

My firefest. So I have two. One is the you bring it up Hank about how you hope no one ever bullies my son. Well, I had a moment at the park on Sunday where I realized I might dog park. Nope. The Sun Park. I might be that guy who ends up getting in like a fight at a little league game because like a five year old kid stole the ball from my son who's not even two.

And I just ripped it out of the five year old kid's hand. And then the dad looked at me like, what are you doing? I'm like, well, what's your son doing? You know what that is? That's a big sunglasses on the back of the head upside down guy move. I don't know what to do. I mean, his son was way older than mine and he just stole the ball from our ball. And I was like, you can't take that.

So now your son's going to step in for all of his fights in the future. Yeah, I probably should just let him. But it was like a four. You the difference between five and less than two is significant. Yeah. But that's when he learns to be an underdog. True. Okay.

All right. Rob, have you taught him about war mode yet? Yeah, I'll teach him war mode. I'm looking my eyes. You got to teach him that Oklahoma wrestler move. Put some cowboy boots on him. You like just touch the side of his face and then boom. The AJ Ferrari, the guy who was like took the ACT once 25.

No big deal. The other fire fest is my other son, Billy. So Instagram, which I actually understand they've gotten a little bit better about bullying and all this stuff. Our Instagram, pardon my takes Instagram got flagged. And I asked guys what what the flag was for because guys told me we got flagged. It was the picture of Billy's nose. So that was named bullying.

I didn't do it. Did you report? I didn't do it. I 100% didn't do it. Okay. Wow. Why does everyone think I'm a bully? This happened just what a month ago we had this conversation about twins.

Interesting video. Interesting. Is it the video where you guys post the picture of my nose? I think it's the picture of the nose that's yeah. It's interesting that they've got flagged. Unbelievable coincidence. I did not know this is what we've seen about my son fighting his Twitter. Now Instagram.

No, no, this is. I mean, are you going to take our TikTok down next? Dude, people have been making fun of my nose since my nose actually grew before my body. So I even had this nose and I was just like now it's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Then your body totally grew into it. I kind of like constantly falling over because your nose was so heavy.

Yeah. But like it like, you know, I grew up like when we had like someone had to alert Instagram. So we had to like someone to take a look at this. Dude, I don't give a fuck about my nose. People in middle school used to make fun of my nose on Yik Yak, which is anonymous, and you used to read it. And it was like, I'm like so desensitized the bullying. Okay, it's really football army.

Yeah. So Billy is too sensitive. Billy, maybe the army is too sensitive. The berserker blood cult boys. I'm going to assume you didn't report it, but I just want it clear that it is, it's legally in your contract. Like we, we are legally allowed to bully you. Yeah, no.

Okay. It's kind of why you're here. Right. Right. So like Instagram be like, hey, that's bullying. We're going to counter sue them. Be like, no, no, no. That's the guy we're allowed to bully.

Yes. 100%. All right. So nobody make fun of us for making fun of Billy's nose. Nobody report us. What was the other thing that you got in trouble? Interesting. The hydration thing.

Hydration. He fucking, he reported Chris Long's Twitter. I did not report his Twitter. Twitter was reporting people who posted about on the eve of 420, no less. He was, that we're posting about like the city of Akron and they'd like automatically report them. For some reason. You just found this out? Sounds like you know a lot about this out.

Because I was trying to find out if I could like show people. I didn't report any tweets. The best part is there was a memo sent around to all Twitter security that Billy is part of. Yeah. Yeah. So Billy, instead of looking at trends when he's goes to the discussions or like the discover tab, you just see like the most 10 popular reported things. And then you go through those and you report all those.

You're in like, you're in a reverse hype group. You're in a hate group. You're in a hate group. What? Billy's hate group. Dude, I'll report shit. Billy, what's your firefress besides the fact that we just found out you reported our own Instagram? I, you know.

Our own Instagram. Made a lot of, dude, I would not report our own Instagram. Our own Instagram. Billy, just hear me out though. Okay. Just humor me. Someone saw those comments and took such offense to them that were there like, this is unacceptable. This is bully.

We need to get this post taken down. Who? Yeah. Would do that. Dude. Who? I'm just. Big tech is a problem.

Yup. With a lot of censorship type stuff. Okay. Go on. Like they posted the picture of, part of my take Instagram has posted pictures, all bad pictures of all of us. All of us. Why was the one that conveniently of you, the one that got deemed bullying?

The first one? Dude. They posted PFT short. They posted big cat fat. They posted the Photoshop of me with no beard. All of the comments. That one was real though. Looking like a genetic freak.

Yup. All of the comments, just brutal. Bro. Why was it the one of you? I have no idea. Honestly, I'm not even sure if this even happened or existed. You're right. Because you guys are the text in the.

No. Because. Show some proof that this actually happened. Gazz walked up to me this morning and said, hey, just want to give you a heads up. And I said, great. I will save that for firefest. Thank you for alerting me. If we can't make fun of somebody for having a big nose,

then really what's the point of having the internet? Mm-hmm. Or noses. Don't say cocaine. Don't say frog fucking. Right. Anyway, I didn't do it. All right.

What's your firefest? I know my truth. I didn't work out as hard as I could have this week. And I haven't been myself. Oh, dude, you should report yourself. That's mean. No, I like, you know, this week I actually just like, I skipped a couple workouts and, you know,

I tried to work out really hard today. And I, you know, what wasn't the same. It didn't feel right. So I'm behind the eight ball. I cheated myself very hard this week. Yeah, you did. We could tell. That's, that's your firefest.

How long ago did you come up with that as your fire? Dude, how many seconds ago? I was working out this morning and I finished my workout, but I was just like, damn, like, I'm not operating. Billy, is that why you don't have shoelaces? So you won't hang yourself because of all the mean comments? Oh, or is it because you're wearing,

you're wearing no shoelaces for your hero that just passed away this week? Bernie Madoff? Did you say he was a hero of yours? Who's that? Okay, sure. I mean, in a way, he kind of was like a king. He was kind of a G.

Yeah, kind of, really kind of a G. Wait, so you're saying you didn't work out as hard this week so you're feeling insecure about your body? No. All right, Jake, what's yours? I have two. One is not your guy's fault, but we have 3-0 box part two.

With the movie poster, but not your guy's fault. Not our fault, not our fault. On the Sean Payton movie that we made, I did not tell them what to put at the bottom of it and they left Sweet Jake out. Sweet Jake, that was not intentional, but the fact that it's happened twice kind of means that we have to turn it into a continuing thing

where we will, in the future, intentionally leave you off things just because people will alert you to it. And good news, Jake, we know that you can actually take it instead of like Billy who will report it. That's what we'll keep doing. That's what would have been marked

as contained sensitive material. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cooling. All right, and your next one? Yeah, a place that rhymes with sussed jallied, changed their menu and my two favorite salads are now off the board. I went into them today and I wasn't happy.

What are you going to do about it? I mean, I just have to cope. Do you think that there's ever been a fight in a Jess salad? No. Probably not. No, she seems to be the most calm restaurant atmosphere in and out you could think of. Yeah.

Maybe if they mess up your order, people are like chirping. Had a salad place? Yeah. Maybe. I just think it's absurd that they have winter and summer menus in a fucking salad place. Well, dude, you gotta see some.

It's salad. Yeah, no. Yeah, salad. Okay. I don't want to eat the same shit in the winter. And then you pick your ingredients. Yeah, but it's salad. What's the difference between salad in the winter

and salad in the summer? It's like saying what's the difference between football in the fall and football in the spring? How many Jackson State games have you watched? You know what? You're probably one of those guys who thinks like, oh, I'll eat a pear at any point in the year. Yes.

No. No, until you eat an off season pear. Yeah. If you eat an off season pear, you'll come here. Oh, every tomato is made the same. No. They're seasons, bro. You ever eat like a dead of winter avocado?

It stinks. You guys are talking about individual items. Yeah. I'm talking about a menu. Yeah. And it's like Taco Bell. Does not have a fucking winter menu in a summer menu. It stinks.

I'm the most loyal customer to that place, and they just let me down. You are. I get it four times a week. 100. Or 99. Eight. No free ads.

36. 18. Also Firefest. Also Firefest. Jake and Hank both. Well, Jake lost a ping pong. Hank won. 21.

22. The nose post is still up. I'm calling. I'm calling. Right. But it got flagged. Gazz fucking disputed it, you dummy. We had to be like, no, it's fine.

After bullying this guy. I'll have it. It's the one that compares me to Nigel Thornberry, which I think is pretty cool because that dude is sick. Okay. Love you guys. You reported it. Love you guys.

Look, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The top comment is Billy saying fuck you to someone. You're clearly around. I said fuck you to Marty Mush. Screenshot this, and everyone else was smiling. Yeah. It seems like it. Okay.

Yeah. No, I admit to that. Yeah. Yeah, a hundred percent. That's what Marty Mush said. I'll be gone. And I'll be home too. I need you to say, I won't say yes.

But I'll be stolen away. But I'll find myself peace. Stay up to me. Fuck me, damn it, you get high off me for free. Hell no, you're bad to bring your own split cheap. It's no better to be free than you say. Stay gone. Me.

Take me home. I'll be gone. And I'll be home too. Just take this. Stay gone. Rock and roll. Let's get you. I got change on me.

That's the whip that ain't no way. I got fire on it. It's gonna be so good. I'm so glad. Get it to you. I'm trying for it. But now let's go out for a drive. Fly up, give me some room.

And I might just chill. But I'm the type that likes to light another joint. Like pipe or seal. I still feel these mid loggies when I puff on it. I got some bucks on it. But it ain't enough for me. Go get the F, the T, I, D, E, F. Nevertheless, I'm out of breath.

Rolling joints like the cigarette. So glad they crossed the table like King Kong. I'm gone. Beating my chest like it's home. And so I wrap my lips around the phody. And when it comes to getting another soggy. Fools all kicking like Shinobi. Tell me, I ain't my homie to begin with.

It's too many hands to beat. Probably like my friend, Hitman. Unless you pull out the fat crispy. Five down to be a worm to reel before it's history. Because we be having a vacuum lungs. And if you let them in, if I bring you out, I'm done. I come to school with a tailor on my pillow. Boy, don't miss lick teas or skeezers and weirdos.

That be throwing off the land like what they bomb at. Give me two bucks to take a bump and pass my bomb back. Suck up the night like a splurge. The cheeriest bomb will make the niggie go delirious. Like Eddie Murphy. I got my one-paste in magic. That's on me, that's me. It's a mess, it's a mess.

I don't wanna burn like you. I'm done. Let's get key. I got time on me. Nothing will let it know we. I got time on me. I'm done. It's got me stuck and I'm too bad.

I got time on me. I'm done. Let's go have a chat. You
