at Evan Foxey, at Gator in the back, and at Ty Schmidt.
Let's have a goddamn Tuesday.
You're the best for listening.
You could do many other things with your life,
but you choose to listen to this,
and today's the day it's going to pay off.
Hey, the NBA just gave away $3 billion.
So much money.
That's the actual, I believe the actual tagline was $3 billion worth of contracts was handed out.
And after hanging out with them this past weekend.
I mean, I like to know that they're going to good people.
But Jesus Christ, the amount of cash flow over there is insane.
And there's no helmet, right?
So their faces are everywhere.
Everybody knows them.
They're just good for the basketball players of the world.
Whenever I produce a little Action McAfee.
By the way, I think that's his new name.
Action.
Strong.
Action Mac.
Well, I got that from Adam Thielen.
His kid's name is Asher.
But when he said it, he said it so fast,
I thought he said his kid's name was Action Thielen.
And I was like, Action's a great fucking name for a kid.
I'm going to name my kid that.
Would you nickname him Maction?
Because you put the Mac in front?
It's good to be back, huh?
Something to think about.
I feel like there's a negative connotation with Maction.
Like it's used to,
like he's great with getting women or something.
Oh, because he's Mac-ing.
That's how your generation takes it.
Mac-tion, in my head, is Tuesday night.
Oh, yeah.
Mac-tion.
Mac-tion.
Mac-conference,
which I once was committed to go to school there
and then went ahead and decided to go somewhere else,
which might bring up bad memories.
So maybe we're...
Adam Thielen conversation
that you're going to hear later in the show today,
definitely great, definitely worth it. And I thought he named his kid Action, which could have been... So maybe we're Adam Thielen conversation that you're going to hear later in the show today. Definitely great.
Definitely worth it.
And I thought he named his kid Action, which could have been, I mean, one of the greatest
names of all time.
He named his kid Asher.
Also good.
But I might name my kid that.
But the basketball players, my kid needs to do that.
My kid needs to find a way to put up 700 to 800 shots a day.
My kid needs to figure out a way to be a spot shooter
because it feels as if the NBA is only going to
get bigger and bigger. It's getting more popular than it is.
It's not getting less popular. It's getting more popular.
And as lacrosse continues to
battle,
they have a professional league.
I get it. I mean, it's the same
thing with soccer. I'm just glad it wasn't hockey.
What's that? Well, hockey too.
I mean, come on. I love hockey. I love playoff hockey. I'm a diehard wasn't hockey. Oh, what's that? Well, hockey, too. I mean, come on.
I love hockey.
I love playoff hockey.
I'm a diehard Penguins fan in the playoffs.
Everybody knows that.
I like watching soccer.
Wayne Rooney scored from like 90 yards out this past weekend.
That was impressive.
I tweeted it out.
It said it was a fucking bomb.
And everybody was like, what's so impressive about that?
The goalie was thin on 18.
It was like, dude just kicked the ball 100 yards.
He scored a fucking goal. and it's Wayne Rooney.
Let's get off the guy's dick a little bit.
Lacrosse, I guess, will grow,
but I feel like it's such a limited demographic of humans that play it.
I've been hearing that for 30 years.
It's like Dippin' Dots, honestly.
Lacrosse is like Dippin'.
I like Dippin' Dots.
I like the cookies and cream Dippin' Dots.
But boy, if I could just get the regular ice cream versus not,
I'm going to go with the regular ice cream every time.
Lacrosse, I like lacrosse.
I watch it.
I don't fully understand it.
I think the field's too big.
I think they run too much.
I think about if I was to play how tired I would get.
I can't be a big fan of it.
But it's also such a limited demographic.
Maybe it'll grow.
Maybe it'll be huge.
I like that they have a league now.
It's getting a lot of pop.
I think Paul Rabel.
Rabel?
Sure.
Rabel. I think he have a league now. It's getting a lot of pop. I think Paul Rabel. Rabel? Sure. Rabel.
I think he's a handsome guy.
I think he's a good business guy.
I like what he does on the internet.
I like his interviews.
But I'm just not sure lacrosse is going to captivate people.
I think the NBA is captivating individuals now,
especially in this concussion CTE world that we're in right now.
I think basketball is captivating humans.
His little action Mac, if he is going to have a fucking sick jumper
and he's going to sign
for 190 one day.
That'd be nice.
190 mil for Little Action McAfee.
Hey, he grows up in this office.
It's possible.
There's no way
I'm letting my kids
around you fucking degenerates.
Especially you, Zito.
There will be no Uncle Zito
to Action McAfee.
Oh my God.
Quick feed.
Hold on.
You get them on the ladders
out here.
Let's go. Get open. Get around the screen. Set up your own on. You get them on the ladders out here? Let's go.
Get open.
Get around the screen.
Get around the screen.
Set up your own shot.
It's the way it goes.
Everybody's saying, though, right now that if Kawhi Leonard,
which, by the way, by the time this show drops,
might have already signed with the Lakers,
if he ends up with the Lakers, they're going to win it all, right?
Because it's Bron Bron, Brow Brow, and Kawhi, right?
And Iggy.
Iggy's going to join, and finals mvp every single year
andre iguodala is going to join them as well that team's unstoppable if he doesn't sign there
that i guess there's real parody in the nba all of a sudden yes yeah there's about 10 teams that
could compete if he doesn't go to the lakers but the clippers didn't get anybody so i don't see
why kawaii wouldn't go to the Lakers now.
Because he wants to be in L.A. or New York, right?
He wants an international brand.
That was the big thing.
The Kawhi brand, he wants to build an international business,
which I would argue you could say on an international team.
Correct.
But.
That's not a good way to do it.
But.
Stay there.
Stay in the East.
You could put an entire country on your back every year.
Every single year.
By the way, Dumpy's still here.
Happy Canada Day yesterday.
Proud of you, bud.
Thank you.
They made it another Canada Day.
One more.
That a boy.
Is that like 4th of July, but for you guys?
Yeah.
Look at him.
We got a big 4th of July show coming up on Thursday, by the way.
Ty Schmidt has pieced together a masterpiece, a Bob Ross painting of the greatest events
that have happened on this show since its inception. Yeah. Ain't that right, Ty? Yeah, a Bob Ross painting of the greatest events that have happened on this show since its inception.
Yeah.
Ain't that right, Ty?
Yeah, a thousand percent.
You were working on it that whole flight home from the Bahamas.
I was, and actually at the resort as well.
It'd take a couple hours to put it aside.
Wow.
Yeah, good for him.
Biggest move of free agency for the NBA was Kevin Durant going to the Nets?
Yeah, and Kyrie.
Kevin and Kyrie going to the... Now, a lot of people, a lot of the haters out there are talking about how Kevin Durant going to the Nets. Yeah, and Kyrie. Kevin and Kyrie going to the...
Now, a lot of people, a lot of the haters out there
are talking about how Kevin Durant's not going to be able
to play next year.
I think he still plays the second half of the season.
I think so, too.
Just with the way modern medicine is,
I assume he'll come back quicker than anybody else
has ever come back from this.
That's what happens.
Every injury, the next big star that suffers it
comes back quicker than ever because they're breaking
the previous injury's record.
You've got a lot of, I don't want to say too many cooks in the kitchen,
but you've got a lot of people that are going to be trying to help that Achilles
heal as fast as possible.
I don't know how science is or whatever,
but I'm assuming he is going to come back at least half a season.
Kyrie Irving, I guess, is not beloved by every team that he goes to.
I think that's safe to say.
It's very safe to say.
So that's what a lot of people are saying on the internet.
I don't know.
So a lot of people are saying this the internet. I don't know. So a lot of people are saying
this is the most overhyped free agency move in history
because Durant's not going to be playing,
Kyrie isn't loved,
and the Nets aren't really going to be that good.
But I think that is all Knicks fans just spin zoning the fact
that Brooklyn is now dominating the big city.
And you're also in the East.
If Kawhi doesn't stay with Toronto,
I mean, the East is wide open.
The Sixers, they lost Jimmy Butler.
Jimmy Butler's with the Heat.
Pat Riley's back, by the way.
Pat Riley's all the way back.
Hold on, I have a game for you.
So, Clay got the most money.
Five for 190 because he's staying where he was.
Clay Thompson.
Clay Thompson stayed at Golden State?
Yeah.
I thought he was gone for sure.
Because he was sick of D'Lo.
He's got dreads now.
But I saw him working out in the gym.
He was really draining some shots.
You've got to respect the Warriors for not giving up on that team
and going all in again to get D'Angelo Russell.
I do.
I do, Gumby.
I don't know if that's sarcastic or not.
No, that's serious.
I don't think I know who D'Angelo Russell is.
He plays basketball?
He is huge for the New York Bucks.
That was my game here.
So the number two and number three,
they both got five years, $180 million.
Do you have any idea where Tobias Harris or Chris Middleton play?
Okay, Tobias Harris.
Sounds like a white guy.
That's a white guy's name.
He definitely ended up in Memphis.
I think he was in Memphis, Tennessee,
walking Beale Street like fucking Elvis Presley.
Tobias is
walking in Memphis.
Got
a hundred and something
million.
Am I right? Sixers. He's a
white guy though? No. And what was the other guy's name?
Chris Milton, also 180 million. Chris
Milton, who just signed for 180 million
dollars, is going to be a complete difference maker for the Charlotte Hornets.
I have never seen a team that was going to come around
as fast as the fucking Michael Jordan-led Charlotte Hornets
after losing to Kemba to Boston,
after getting Hayward and Kemba connection up there in Celtics,
which they've got to feel really good about.
Honestly, having this Mr. Milton guy down there with the Hornets is going to bring the entire Queen City alive,
and that's going to become a basketball town once again,
especially with the way that guy likes to play basketball.
It's a real gritty player.
He gets in the paint.
He's kind of grungy.
Sharp elbows.
Yeah, yeah, he's got sharp elbows.
He's not scared to take to the rack.
He's got a good base. When he jumps up to rebound, he's not going to got sharp elbows. He's not scared to take to the rack. He's got a good base.
When he jumps up to rebound, he's not going to roll an ankle.
He's durable.
He's a good $180 million offer for that guy.
He is staying with Giannis in Milwaukee.
Of course he is.
Honestly, I heard all those rumors about going to Charlotte.
I thought it was a bad idea.
Especially when you've got a chance to play with a Greek freak still.
That's the type of money that was being thrown around yesterday.
That's unbelievable, dude.
It's wild. Unbelievable. Is that guaranteed?
Yeah. 100%.
Somebody said something about, like, there was $107 million
offered to somebody, and
Woj was on ESPN. He was like,
that's only $97 million guaranteed.
The other 10 are
locked into championships or something.
I'm like, oh.
When I said this to Aaronaron rogers this weekend i said
aaron rogers you signed for 100 million dollars guaranteed it was crazy that is zero dollars
compared to the nba players how does that make you feel and he just said it's a lot of money
a lot of money man it really is think about that yeah that is generational wealth yes that is not
just and by the way i want him to get paid more Yeah Somehow I hope they
Like I love seeing that happen
From Mr. Tobias Milton
Or whoever the fuck his name is
I like seeing that guy
Sign for 200 million dollars
I like seeing people succeed
It was just like
At the WWE NXT thing
This guy was coming out
To play a video game thing
For one million dollars
And he got booed
By everybody
Oh I booed the shit out of that guy
That's what I'm saying
I'm like this guy's about To win a million dollars Let's be happy for the guy He's about to win a million dollars and he got booed by everybody i booed the shit out of that guy that's what i'm saying i'm like this guy's about to win a million dollars let's be happy for the guy he's about to
win a million dollars everybody's like fuck that guy he doesn't deserve it i'm like who cares if
somebody's gonna hand him a million dollars let him take it yeah what a story yeah somebody's
about to get 400 million dollars down there in charlotte or miss where where milwaukee milwaukee
let him take it. He was showing
off too much. I think we should be happy.
I think we should be more happy for people whenever they get rich.
Honestly. I hope everybody gets rich.
I only get mad at people who are rich
at stuff I could do. Definitely
don't get mad at NBA players who do stuff
I can't even come close to doing. I'm excited to hear
a list of things that you can do that people get rich off of.
Yeah, me too. I was going to ask the same thing.
People get rich off of that you get... Gambling?
Gambling. Okay, so if one guy
hits for $100,000, but you hate
that guy. Yeah, for sure. Okay, that makes sense.
That makes sense, yeah.
Con men.
Fucking Danny Ocean.
You hate him.
You fucking hate him.
And then anyone who plays the fucking lottery.
Oh, yeah.
They're playing it better than you. That's about it is it is so interesting we live in the society of i guess
hatred and that sounds bad because i don't think it's all bad i think we have a very vocal hatred
hateful people out there but man whenever i see people sign like that i get a lot of tweets that
are like uh don't you think you should have maybe tried basketball? It's like, yeah.
Yeah, you know what I also should try to do?
Maybe create Snapchat.
I wish I would have went back and tried that in college
instead of fucking hopping on a scooter
trying to catch a lion with deli meat.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, I wish I fucking played basketball professionally.
What type of question is that?
Stop tweeting me that question.
I'm sick of it already.
Who was the guy with Snapchat that you know?
Griff Whalen could have been in Snapchat.
He just sits on the other side of the room.
He created some fucking
probably some vegan snack.
Makes tens of
dollars right on the other side of the room.
The guy's created Snapchat. Just go sit over there, bro.
Jesus.
But yeah, I like what the nba is doing it
never stops you gotta love it the nba the drama it just it never stops that's why that the nfl are
the two biggest sports in america because they neither of them hold on so i asked chris paul
about this at the golf tournament i said i said chris paul and this was early so i don't think
he was as elusive as me yet but he still gave me this answer i said why does it feel like your league is filled with so much drama i say is it because there's so much
money so much money you're you're everywhere your names are so notable like it's just so much drama
in the nba he goes it's crazy man he gets i got an update on my phone saying i was going to be in
space jam he said i'm not in Space Jam. He said everything.
He said, things just happen.
He said, people just say things and it's gone forever.
And he was like, and there's no fixing it.
No accountability.
Yeah, no accountability.
It's like, yeah, he said his direct words were, there's no accountability.
Like, it just goes and it's gone.
And then it's, oh, who cares?
That guy's life's ruined.
So people remember forever now.
Yeah, exactly.
He was like, I literally got an update on my phone that said I'm in Space Jam,
which I think he thought that I would have
known that I got the update too.
I did not. I had no idea.
I told him, congratulations.
You know what, Chris? You should be in Space Jam.
That is what I said to him, didn't I?
He said, I got an update on my phone
saying I was in Space Jam. I was like, congratulations, man.
He's like, I'm not in Space Jam. I was like, congratulations, man. He's like, I'm not in Space Jam.
I was like, oh, okay.
I was like, you should be in Space Jam, though, Chris.
And then I just drove and we walked away.
I was like, oh, that was a rough start with Chris Paul.
It was a rough start.
We came around.
You're going to hear the whole story about the weekend coming up here in a bit.
Boy, we had one down in the Bahamas.
I got fourth-degree burns on my neck and head.
Ty Schmidt's shins took a trip to the sun.
We had one.
You'll hear all about it.
Also, Adam Thielen.
I love today's show.
Look at us break down NBA free agency.
Crushing it.
Beautiful.
It's like I'm an NBA expert.
It is.

Yep.

So I ended up in the Bahamas at a golf tournament I should not have been at.
I was by far the worst golfer there.
Aside from my guy, Tyler Johnson, who's a good friend of mine,
pushed a tee 305. He used to play on the Heat, now heler johnson who's a good friend of mine push
the t305 he used to play on the heat now he plays on the suns good friend of mine he and i were by
far the the least uh talented golfers there everybody that was golfing there literally
told us that a part of their daily schedule is golfing at least one round of golf wow so like
d will by the way good friend of ours,
I'd assume he's going to be on the show at some point,
took a shot at me on his Instagram post.
He said, every morning I take my kids to wherever they got to go,
I work out, then I get a round of golf, and then I pick my kids up.
Del Curry plays like six rounds of golf a day.
Kyle Williams plays.
Everybody we talk to, they're like, oh, yeah,
we get like a round a day or a day or so.
You know what I mean?
It's like they're addicted to golf. golf sure i literally played my first full round of
golf in the last two years in the first round of that tournament and uh it didn't even show
you couldn't even tell i mean couldn't even tell boys couldn't even tell the ig stories made it
look like you were 13 14 under after five well. Well, I could have been, honestly.
I mean, I was undefeated.
I was undefeated.
I still am an undefeated championship golfer.
I have a championship out here sitting right behind me.
This one's going to sting a little bit for the boys in the NBA.
This one's going to sting a little bit because it did get a little bit,
by the way, the competitive juices.
Oh, it came out.
There was some real tension in these things.
There was some very serious golf being played,
and I was just dropped right in the middle of it. It was a wild, wild scene.
But as soon as we got there, we played around the Thursday.
Everything started on Friday, I found out.
I thought it would start on Thursday.
We got there on Thursday.
Turns out everything was starting on Friday,
so we went out and swung the sticks a little bit.
On Thursday, it was my first time hitting on grass, I think, in three months.
Oh, yeah.
So we were trying to figure it out.
I was hitting some good balls.
I was starting to find it a little bit.
We played nine holes then.
And then we go to the intro thing, and they're like,
okay, tomorrow you have 27 holes.
I'm like, what?
27 fucking holes tomorrow?
I'm playing with Scobie. I'm playing'm playing with theelin scoby wants to be a
professional golfer like he actually wants to he trains on a daily basis great golfer by the way
it's paying off i want to let him know it's paying off theelin who we will be talking to later today
on today's show is one of the most explosive golfers I've ever seen in my entire fucking life.
Me and him took on Chris Paul and Del Curry in alternate shots.
Del Curry.
Next fucking level, by the way.
As soon as Del Curry showed up on the tee box,
first thing I did is I did like an air jump shot.
I was like, how's that look?
Does that look pretty good?
And he was like, yeah, tuck that elbow a little bit.
He didn't teach me,
but I wanted Del Curry
just to look at my shot
and be like,
yeah, it was good,
which he did.
We have on tape.
Yes, we do.
He said, good shot.
I'm like, thank you, sir.
Chris Paul was struggling
at that point.
Mentally, he was defeated
because in the first round
he got beat up a little bit,
but he's a very nice human being,
by the way.
You read a lot of rumors
on the internet about people
and especially in the NBA
and you can read,
everybody there was incredibly nice. I've never met a nicer batch of human beings. of rumors on the internet about people and especially in the nba and you can read everybody
there was incredibly nice i've never met a nicer batch of human beings there was golf influencers
there okay there's this lady named kenzie there was a lady named chelsea there espn caddy michael
was the mc through the whole thing we're talking about really good people who are really good
golfers much better golfers than i am all these human beings but we
go into this del curry um chris paul match first one me and scobie take on ray allen and uh tyler
tyler push a t good golfer bad golfer uh i mean ray allen's good golfer tyler's a bad golfer right
yes ray allen was a good golfer and ray allen and I also could have met on the flight down there.
He was sitting in a row behind us.
Chose not to say a word.
Ray Allen had headphones on.
We had an hour and a half delay because Ty clogged the shitter.
Ty, is that what happened?
I mean, I guess you could say that.
The thing started fucking overflowing right as we stepped onto the plane. And I was in the seat next to the shitter.
And, yeah, I mean it all down the aisle.
They brought in like a jumbo size vacuum cleaner.
So we ran,
so we fly from Indianapolis to Miami.
Then the,
the flight from Miami to the Bahamas,
you know,
it was supposed to be like a 40 minute in between time.
So it doesn't seem like that big of a deal.
We got behind schedule like 10 minutes,
I guess in the plane.
So now we only have like 30 minutes to get there. The Miami
airport might literally be the entire
size of the 305 area.
That was like walking 18 holes itself.
It was insane. We had three different trams
we had to get on. We had to run, we got on a train,
get on another one, run, get on another
train. We watched somebody almost get their
face taken off on one of the trains. She almost
died. She got jammed in a tram.
It thing slammed.
It was a sprint to get on and then wham slammed on her and then she like backs up again it opens up so she goes to go back in bam once more again
and me and fox are supposed to not laugh at this i just like turn my back to the situation
she gets on there so we we sprint like home alone it through the
entire miami airport we finally get there we get on the seat like and then they're about to close
the doors and that's when i get the text from ty that says the shitter is just spewing all over me
so then uh the captain goes oh this is your captain from flight deck apparently there is a
little bit of a maintenance problem with the toilet in the back we're gonna have to fix that before we take off this should only be roughly 30 minutes so we're
like all right thanks ty you know so i facetime with ty and the guy is really just sucking shit
all around ty for those 30 minutes so me and me and nick are sitting in the front you know we're
getting our nice water served to us we just sprinted through miami getting some peanuts
we're having a good time ray allen sitting behind us there's about 17 kids back here who i guess have a very rich dad that just are chewing
the shit out of the loudest chips i've ever heard in my entire life almost got off the plane myself
almost went into the shitter where they were trying to clog it off but we're having a good
time i facetime with ty again there's just like a there's him just baking and shit back there so that 30 minutes passes they finally get it all
cleaned up and they go to take off and the captain comes on he goes this is your captain from flight
deck the maintenance issue has been resolved i'm like thanks todd he goes but while we were trying
to resolve that issue the ground crew decided to leave and go to another point. So we have called for another ground crew quite some
time ago.
We have heard nothing back.
Exact words.
Not quite sure what to say here.
Hold
tight. So another
hour and 15 minutes pass.
So now we're delayed two hours at this
point. Ray Allen is sitting less than six
inches away from me. He doesn't budge by the way not a single move he's got these massive headphones on he's watching
something on his ipad he looks like he is so laser focused like it was fucking game seven i i thought
about like talking to him like six different times i just didn't think the time was right
so we finally get on down there we land in in the Bahamas. It's beautiful. I mean, it's absolutely gorgeous.
Ty Schmidt almost loses his bag.
So, you know, Ty had to sit and shit.
He had to do this whole thing,
and then he couldn't find his bag in the Bahamas.
I mean, it was just a... Everything was going wrong for Ty.
So we get to the hotel.
We check into the hotel,
and they're supposed to give you, like,
a full pamphlet whenever you walk in.
We look like such a group of slapdicks
that the people that are running the tournament didn't even know we were in the tournament so we didn't
get the pamphlet we were just kind of walked right to our room so no clue what the schedule was no
clue what the schedule was at this point had no idea so we decided to just go golf like all right
we'll go golf we'll see how we get on the course we call cuz he's sam from ca takes care of us
and then that's when they tell us like hey tonight at seven you have something like oh
there it is okay so we have something tonight.
So we go golf.
We golf.
I'm dialing in.
I'm figuring out.
We go to this opening ceremony, and it is Rose Mar, I believe, is where we stayed.
The place is called Rosewood.
Rosewood, yeah.
At Baja Mar.
First class operation.
Oh, yeah.
I've been very lucky to stay at a lot of resorts.
I've spent a lot of money traveling to these nice places.
This place was nice.
The people all had the same mindset.
Like, hey, we want you Americans to get very intoxicated
and have the time of your life.
Granted, it might be because they paid a lot of money to be there
and all that stuff.
They might have known a little heightened personality on the workers
because of who we were.
I'll take it, though.
Everybody was very nice to us
we're having a good time aaron and chris paul get up there and they do their welcoming messages
and aaron legitimately in his first sentence says this year i have a secret weapon his name's pat
mcafee to this entire to this entire opening party there's people that paid so much money to be at
this party and once again at this, we were just walking around.
Nobody had a clue who we were.
We were just walking around.
The workers were just giving us shots.
We're like, yeah, we'll take it.
Absolutely.
Keep them coming, bud.
Yeah, absolutely.
We're just having a good time, just kind of drifting in.
We look like we could have potentially had a rich dad that paid for us to be there to golf in the pro-am that we didn't even know was happening until we got to that moment that was happening the next morning.
And then all of a sudden, Aaron goes, come on up pat and i'm like oh fuck all right i'll put i mean i just hammered about seven shots i'll put this red bull vodka
down and i just grabbed the microphone and now literally what the fuck am i there's a drone
flying overhead there's a drone flying overhead there's bleacher report and cbs camera shooting and i just got called up here in
front of uh it was me chris paul aaron rogers and uh espn caddy was up there so i just grabbed
mike just started talking shit literally just started talking shit on the nba immediately
you walk up there and you're like hello mr chris paul very nice to meet you i'm here with aaron
rogers the hundred million dollar man aaron how do do you feel that the NBA guys make way more money?
It was a hot start.
It was a hot start.
And Aaron said, that's a lot of money.
And then I talked about how we were going to win.
We're going to beat the fuck out of you, blah, blah, blah.
And I said, and to be honest, Ray Allen,
he was on a shitbox playing for about an hour and a half.
He was sitting right behind me.
He didn't say a word to me.
So tomorrow, I'm excited to beat the hell out of Ray Allen.
So Chris Paul calls up Ray Allen.
So now Ray Allen
comes up and he shakes my hand.
Chris asked him, he's like,
did you have any idea who he was? And Ray was like, no.
Still don't,
by the way. I'm like, Ray, my guy!
You know, nice to meet you.
So we go and do the rest
of the night. We have a good time. We go into the casino.
Everybody's in the casino.
Chris Paul's mom was sitting with us at the blackjack table.
I mean, it was like we became best friends with all these humans within four minutes of being there.
All because Aaron Rodgers said, I got secret weapons.
We went from being absolute zeros at this thing, like below bottom of anybody else there.
People wouldn't even give us a pamphlet when we walked in to now we've been thrusted into this position of like hey these guys the only reason
why they're here is to have for everybody else to have a good time that's why he's your best friend
literally my best friend that's the power of aaron rogers at this point i honestly believe
so i go up there and speak or whatever we do our thing and aaron goes like uh yeah that's what
you're here for but i was like anytime you need he talked to Peyton before and was like hey invite Pat because he's a good time on
these golf trips that that instance set the tone for the entire weekend because we had a couple
drinks but you weren't anywhere near that was just a nice little warm-up you go up there and get that
microphone and I'm standing in the middle of the crowd and I'm looking to my left and right and
I'm hearing what people are saying and I'm looking at the looks on their faces everyone thinks you're
just hammer drunk because no one knows you or your personality everybody thinks I'm gone at that
point I'm like we haven't even started like Chris Paul Chris Paul's already judging you like are you
sure you'll make it to the tee box tomorrow man yeah a lot of there was a lot of judgment a lot
of that type of judgment and one person Mike Conley was behind me. And I just hear him turn to his front and go, hey, Pat McAfee's a wild dude, man.
Michael Conley, great golfer, by the way.
Yeah, a great golfer.
Everybody that was there was a great golfer.
So we get there the next morning.
We have that, it was an early call, too.
It was like a 9 a.m. tea time or an 8 a.m. tea time
or something like that.
And we were at the casino for a little bit.
We stopped by this place called Club Bond,
which, Bahama legend place.
I mean, you walk in there, you think to yourself,
you know, probably regret coming into this place.
But we made a little stop through, went back, passed back out,
went to bed, woke up the next morning.
Now it was time to golf.
And they had outfitted us, so they had given us costumes to wear izod was the sponsor i guess so they give us costumes but they gave me
like four different bags and i didn't have that pamphlet telling me what you know so i didn't know
what costume wear so i put on an outfit i think it looked good i matched it i walk out to the lobby
i immediately get told to go back to my room put on another shirt we're not wearing that till this
afternoon i'm like okay i mean all right is there somewhere i should in the pamphlet i'm like well we didn't
get it so i go and change my costume we go there we're like 15 20 minutes early by the way we are
there before most other people nice this was big this was big by the way for you especially after
what happened the night before where everybody was potentially judging us for not you know having it
together so we get there we even get some practice strokes in and that was where i debuted
the uh barefoot so whenever i walked out onto that practice green or practice uh like driving range
which was four miles away whenever i walked out onto that thing with the barefoot some heads were
turned jr smith even like it was, is this what we're doing?
J.R. Smith, my guy.
Another great guy.
My guy.
J.R. Smith is a hero of a human.
I don't know how to say that.
So nice, hilariously hilarious.
Just everything about J.R. Smith is exactly how you think. But in a gentleman, I thought he was going to be like a savage.
From everything I've heard about J.R. Smith, I thought he was going to be like a ridiculous savage. Not the case. Still a savage, but very in a gentleman i thought he was gonna be like a savage like from everything i've heard about jared smith thought he was gonna be like a ridiculous savage not the case still a
savage but very much a gentleman and that was it was kind of nice to see actually so i get on the
golf course and it's uh or on the practice range and it's uh me and then it's aaron rogers and then
right there next to him brett farve so it's Brett Favre hits like a 700-yard shot.
Aaron Rodgers hits the ball well.
And then I have a 7-iron that goes ahead
and just fucking draws that thing straight out ahead.
And I'm like, yeah, tell you what,
three elite quarterbacks here.
Bombing the ball.
Nick's standing in the back, right?
He's got stars and striped socks up to about the mid-calf.
And he's just got a camera behind it.
And as soon as i hit
it because it really was like a i turn around the nick and i'm like did you just get that sequence
of events he's like oh yeah my god i'm like my guy i feel like i'm really a part of this thing but
you're so in awe by all these humans like brett farve i the only place anybody really sees him
anymore is a as seen on tv section of a Walgreens because of his copper fit.
He's a fucking animal, dude.
His arms look like Popeye right now.
Some guy played with him in his pro-am that was about to happen immediately in the morning.
And they were like, Brett Favre hits the ball 350 yards every single time he hits the ball.
And I was like, must be a copper fit.
And they're like, we asked him that same question.
He didn't really talk to us much.
So Brett Favre shows up at the, we had a lunch after,
like after the pro-am before the first big round,
there's this like buffet line and Brett Favre shows up and he's sitting like four feet behind me.
Aaron Rodgers is sitting at a table with me and Nick
and Adam Thielen.
So we're just kind of having lunch.
You know, we're all friends here.
Just kind of relaxing.
Just a little chit-chat.
A little chit-chat.
I turn around and Brett Favre's there.
I'm like, Brett, I heard you hit the ball fucking 400 yards and he goes i get a hold
of it every once in a while i was like is it the copper fin he's like that and a couple other
things i can do now that i'm a bit older and i just started crying laughing and i was like brett
happy to see you man and then i looked at bre Brett. Brett wasn't wearing any of the eyes on shit.
Brett had his own cargo shorts on and Nike shoes or something like that. He looked fucking incredible.
Gave less bucks than any human.
The entire weekend.
He just didn't associate with anyone.
He wasn't being rude.
No, he was just living his own life.
He would go sit by himself at a table and eat.
He would sit there, just stare at his phone.
People would come up and they would get close,
and you could see them want to talk to him,
but they just respected him too much
to even come within a five-foot circle of him.
I often wonder if Brett Favre was like...
Because when I talk to him, great interaction.
Every time I talk to him, great interaction.
I think everybody was so scared to talk to Brett Favre, though.
I could see that.
Because when Brett Favre walks in a room,
you literally look and you go,
that's fucking Brett Favre. in the room, you literally look and you go, that's fucking Brett Favre.
He's got cargo shorts on.
His arms look like fucking James Harrison's.
I mean, he was incredible.
Did Ty get a chance for a one-on-one with the great Brett Favre?
I don't think so.
When I first walked in, like Pat said, I almost pooped my pants.
I was like, Jesus Christ, Brett Favre's standing right there.
And then there was a little bit later, we were in the fairway, I think.
Me and Nick were sitting in the cart, and he was right next to us.
And I was like, God, I just want to ask him for a chaw.
I don't want a picture.
I don't want anything.
But it's the same thing.
It's like, you just can't do it.
I was like, the one thing I don't want to take away from this weekend
was that Brett Favre knocked my teeth out.
Asked him for a tooth.
And I don't think Brett Favre would have. I honestly believe that Brett Favre knocked my teeth out. Asked him for a tube. And I don't think Brett Favre would have.
I honestly believe that Brett Favre
was just enjoying his weekend in the Bahamas
golfing. But I think everybody
was so scared to talk to him.
I said a couple things to him.
He's Brett Favre. He actually said
at one point, hey, you should let McAfee get out there
and swing during this trick shot
thing. And I was getting picked
over. I'm going to look bad on this TV thing. I i'm gonna look bad on this tv thing i'm gonna look bad on this tv thing so we get into the
we have a little lunch we have about i don't know six hours of rain delays and uh we had already
played nine holes so we're at this golf course already by this point like six hours seven seven
hours maybe it's uh and we finally go out to tea now we finally go out to golf and it's it's uh
four ball but you go off of no it was just four ball, but you go off of, no, it was just four ball.
It was you play your own ball, best score.
It was me and Scobie versus Ray Allen in push a tee.
Yeah, my guy, push a tee, 305.
I followed him.
You should, too.
I'm thinking there's going to be some legendary shit that's going to come from this kid.
He's a fucking electric character.
So I tee off. I spray it right into the woods immediately i mean we've just been sitting down for six hours what do you expect from me right i mean it was a big slice i mean we're
talking hit the hell out of me like when i hit it everybody was like and then it just kept on going
right into the woods scoby same thing ray allen same thing basically push a t same thing because we've
just been sitting for six hours because of lightning delay and then all of a sudden they're
like boom we're off and running now and that's tough i showed up late somehow they were already
all in whole we got lost getting to our hole it was a shotgun they changed the actual holes on
the course so like the normal hole 10 on the course was actually now hole 12 so like the cart
the map they gave you nothing helped yeah so we got a lot we're literally just driving around the course lost the whole tournament is waiting on us
to get to our hole there's like people radioing in like has anybody seen mcafee and then it's like
if i get to a hole and they're like oh we got him he's that hole six right now i'm like well i was
supposed to get to 18 they're like oh yeah we know hold on go this way but nobody was really giving
us accurate directions just go this way.
So finally, we get to it.
And we're in the back corner.
And Ray Allen's up there.
And he's already pissed off from the night before.
And they're all ready to go.
And I see Tyler's got his shorts rolled up, like up high.
Because he's got the greatest Heath Ledger Joker tattoo I've ever seen on his left thigh.
Like his entire left thigh
just has this tattoo from like here
all the way to here.
So he rolled up his shorts to show that off
like real high.
Yeah, so I was like, well, fuck.
I mean, if we're doing it,
if we're going to show off,
if we're going skies out, thighs out,
I mean, I got to represent for something.
So I rolled mine up,
but mine were white shorts.
You see, his were blue.
So mine kind of looked like a diaper,
but still, the thighs, his were blue. So mine kind of looked like a diaper, but still.
The thighs played, and we played that entire round.
Scobie and I started off a little slow.
I hit one of the greatest shots of my life on that first hole.
I mean, one of the greatest shots of my life
because everybody was out of bounds,
so had to drop and kind of play catch up,
and it's best score, right?
Scobie was lost.
Everybody else was lost,
so I still could potentially contribute something here right on hole one.
That would have been nice to start that way.
You know, it's like when you're in class
and you're supposed to read something and the teacher,
the first question they ask you, always answer that question
because it looks as if you're so eager and like you really read
when you didn't do shit.
That's what I was trying to do.
I was trying to like get out on the first hole and be like,
yep, earn a point for our team so that forever, Scobie feels like he owes me something.
You know what I mean?
Because obviously I'm not going to do much here.
So we drop, and I hit one, and I thought it was going in the hole.
I thought it was going in the fucking hole.
In my head, I heard the boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
from that Tiger Woods game when it was like seeking.
Turns out, I was just about two clubs off.
That thing went right over the green.
This was over the practice green,
over some bushes,
and over a huge Baja Mars sign.
Caddy's fault?
And he couldn't even see the hole.
I mean, I don't even know if it was Caddy's fault.
I think, honestly,
I couldn't even tell you what those clubs go.
I don't know how Nick's supposed to know.
So there's the fucking entire CBS crew is sitting there because it's the 18th hole.
So like I hit it over all of the camera people.
So the golf pro.
The course pro.
The course pro.
Scobie's gone.
His ball.
He's lost another ball.
So literally I am the only representative of our team at this point.
I'm the only one still alive.
The course pro is moving balls off the
putting green to find mine because it's amongst because if they're putting green they got all
pro v1s on their putting greens as well so it's it's not like where you can go to a course and
be like uh mine's that one it isn't the shitty one they're all nice but i probably had the shittiest
so they're going through like the course pro, like, going through all the fucking putting green.
He finds mine.
He's like, here you go.
He starts, like, mopping all the other balls around.
And he's like, you can either hit from here
or you can take a drop on the other side of the putting green
and not take a stroke.
I was like, oh, I don't want to just hack up your fucking putting green here.
So I go on the other side of the putting green.
Respect.
I thought so, too.
Nicest course I've ever been on. I'm not going to be taking a whack on your putting green. Nice big divot side of the putting green. Respect. I thought so too. Nicest course I've ever been on.
I'm not going to be taking a whack on your putting green.
Like Big Divot out of the putting green.
So I go on the other side.
I'm in the fringe or whatever of the putting green.
And there's a full putting green.
Then there's a hill.
Then there's this sign.
And then the hole was on the other side of that.
So I'm supposed to hit this Phil Mickelson flop shot over this fucking thing, right? So fucking thing right so i go to ray allen i go hey ray can you tell me where the hole is i can't see
anything and ray like he's your caddy like points at nick like nick's supposed to do it so nick goes
over and he stands and he's like i think it's like right here and i was like oh you're gonna want to
get the fuck out of the way and then i go on and hit one of the greatest golf shots of my entire fucking time
like six feet i hit it for i go wham and it hits on the other side of the hill and i see it it was
gonna go way left and i see it bounce like right back right and i'm like wait a minute if nick was
right that might be going in the fucking hole six feet how you doing put that fucking thing in i
think we tie i think we i think we're square after hole one strictly because of me right there.
So I'm like, okay, Scobie, you owe me now, right?
You owe me.
If it wasn't for that fucking Phil Mickelson thing,
then we go on and Scobie got hot.
I mean, Scobie just got fucking hot.
We went through two rain delays during that round.
We had to sit out in the middle of the course.
There was lightning everywhere.
It was a long one, but Scobie just got fucking hot.
And it was cool to watch, I'm going to be honest.
And Ray Allen got flustered.
I mean, it was Ray Allen versus me and Scobie
because old Tyler didn't get hot yet.
He was still a little tight from the bar or wherever he was.
I don't know if he was a drinker, but from the six-hour layoff.
And Ray Allen got a little flustered watching Scobie
just ever drive every time.
And it was fun.
So I ended up 1-0 after the first round.
All right, here I am.
Me and Scobie, we earned a point for the NFL.
I'm really contributing something.
I'm really doing something for the team.
So then about eight holes into that, we thought it'd be done
because at this point it's already 6 o'clock at night.
So we'd been here all day.
They go, hey, they want to do alternate ball after this too.
So I got to play another nine holes again.
What?
Yeah, after this.
So now it's me and feeling versus chris paul
and uh del curry and that was when the jump shot thing happened so we get going and del curry he
might have shot a fucking 10 under by himself he's so good he is so good at golf i when i say this i
mean i told him i was like why aren't you playing in that fucking old man uh championship or whatever
probably because he's so rich now he doesn't have to, but he is unbelievable.
Every shot was just like... Center cut.
It was like shaved. Every putt was just
buried. He made me putt one out
from like three feet too.
He made me
putt one out. He was like
we were looking at, I was looking at him.
Me and Thielen were looking at him. It was a gentleman's game.
I was looking at him and Del looked at me
and then he looked away and I was like, wait a minute. Areielen were looking. It was a gentleman's game. I was looking at him, and Dell looked at me, and then he looked away.
And I was like, wait a minute.
Are you going to make me putt this?
And he just looks at it.
He leans on his thing.
He's like, I just want to see it.
I just want to see it.
So I putt it because it's alternate ball.
So it was me having to make it.
So I putt it, and I make it.
I look at him.
I go, we will not forget this.
And I pick the ball up, and I walk away. Now, in his defense,
you could tell he was a little frustrated because Chris was
playing when Chris wasn't playing his best that
day because he had struggled a little bit earlier.
Well, and also, I mean, we were on that golf
course. And even if you love
golf, I would assume if you're on
a golf course for 20 straight
hours, at some point, something's going to give.
And for me and for Chris Paul, that
did happen. I don't know about everybody else, but for me, it definitely did.
And for Del, who had just got done playing with Scottie Pippen.
Who?
Del Curry looked me right in my eyes.
This is what we call a little preview of what's about to come.
What's that called?
Foreshadow.
It's called Foreshadow.
Del Curry looked me right in my eyes and said,
Scottie Pippen struggled today.
I don't think he's really that good of a golfer.
Okay.
Well, that's Scottie Pippen though, Del.
So we do our round.
Del Curry's getting flustered because he's playing the best golf he's ever played in his life.
No, I think it's how he plays every day.
So we end up going, Thielen, we go to a par four.
I think we're even.
It's a drivable par four.
I think it's like 290 or something like that.
I think it's a 290-yard par four. So I bring out my driver. It's a drivable par four. I think it's like 290 or something like that.
I think it's a 290-yard par four.
So I bring out my driver.
I end up left of the green, like right left of the green.
Pin high.
Yeah, pin high.
And Thielen goes, oh, I'm going to use my three wood.
Where are you?
You're left of the green?
I was like, yeah, I'm going to use my three wood.
I'm like, fuck yourself.
How about that, Thielen?
How about you go fuck yourself?
So Thielen gets his three wood, and he hammers back.
And I have never seen a more impressive golf shot in my entire fucking life.
He flies the green, which is 290.
This is his three wood.
Flies the green, goes over the cameraman's head, who's 20 yards behind it,
off of the cart pass curb in the back and bounces back into play right onto the cart path dead center of it.
So he hit his three
wood in the air and i could say this because i think it's true like 325 yards yeah i think he
hit his three woods like 320 in the air in the fucking air he bounces back and lands on it and
i thought it was in the hole from where we were standing because it was right over and i was like
just like my first shot of the fucking Josh Gobi one.
I was like, is that in the hole?
I think you put it in the hole.
When we go there, it's way over.
The camera guy was like, well, you really got a hold of that one.
I was like, that was a three-wood, sir.
He was like, a three-wood?
That thing flew over my head so high I didn't even know it was coming.
I'm like, good for you, Thielen.
We use my ball.
You're welcome, Thielen.
Then he hits it.
I hit it.
I make a birdie putt.
We go up.
Then we battle for the next like probably ten hole
or next like six holes.
It's just like a battle, battle, battle.
Chris Paul has a chance of winning at the end
with like a four-foot putt.
He misses that.
I'm so thankful he missed that
because I missed a little gimme earlier.
In you guys' defense, though,
those are maybe the toughest greens on
the earth. Slow.
Oh, really? Slow.
Very soft. Slow, slow,
slow. Not good.
I've been practicing up here on the
kitchen floor.
Now we go there, it's literally like you're playing
on a rug at your house.
They were slow even Thursday when we got there
and it was 99 degrees, blaring heat.
And then on Friday when we played these rounds, it had rained all day.
So they just got even slower.
And in the afternoon, the grass grows, so they get a little slower.
Everybody knows that.
Everybody knows that.
I did one of the sickest flop shots in history.
I mean, I bust out the film makes a flop shot because my particular –
it was during the pro
am section there and we were way out of contention.
I don't even know if they're even keeping score, whatever happened, we didn't, it meant
nothing.
And I was like probably 30 yards out from the hole and not a lot of good green to work
with.
And I look at Travis Fulton who, by the way, good guy, Travis Fulton, PGA, good guy.
Might still be alive.
We don't know.
That guy might have drank seven bottles of wine on the last night.
I'm so impressed by what he was putting down.
And he could still golf.
Travis Fulton's an impressive figure.
He is.
But I look at Travis Fulton right in the eye, and I go,
you ever see the golf fix?
And I go, I learned something about golf fix.
Me and Phil do this.
And I laid my six-degree completely sideways, and I swung as ever see the golf fix? And I go, I learned this on a golf fix. Me and Phil do this. And I laid my six degree completely sideways and
I swung as hard as I fucking could
and I expected to blade that thing
four fairways over. That motherfucker
went straight up in the air, came
straight down to like probably six
feet again. I was closer than that. Yeah,
it was like straight boom right on the ground.
Everybody thinks I'm a great golfer. All of a sudden
all the golf influencers are like,
look at this flop shot from this guy.
There's going to be people on TV that are going to be like,
I saw Pat McAfee at this flop shot one time.
I showed it to Aaron Rodgers as soon as I sat down.
I was like, you ever see a fucking flop shot like this,
like Phil Mickelson?
And Aaron goes, why don't you start like a little beef
with Phil Mickelson?
Is that the shot that you put on your story and you tagged Phil?
Yeah, yeah.
Incredible shot.
Yeah, thank you.
Incredible shot.
That was after Ty was like fucking doing good old Ty Schmidt Is that the shot that you put on your story and you tagged Phil? Yeah. Incredible shot. Yeah, thank you. Incredible shot.
That was expected. Well, that was after Ty was like fucking doing good old Ty Schmidt
and like every drive was 500 yards.
I was like, Pat's 30 under.
Pat has to be 30 under.
By the way, those drives, those drives,
they were all going in that particular round.
They were all going very far.
Yeah, 320 average.
I was slaughtering the ball in that particular round.
Then we kind of moved on and didn't.
But, yeah, me and Thielen went up all square there,
so we get a half a point.
So right now I'm one and a half points in.
Winner.
What do you expect me to do?
Undefeated still.
Can't do much more than that.
Undefeated at this point.
We're going into the last day.
They have a little cocktail dinner for us all set up.
That's where me and Nick were sitting at opposite ends of the table,
talking to each other.
Felt like real big bosses.
We showed up a little late.
We missed that.
About an hour late.
The fried rice.
I mean, we had a good time out there.
We were having a blast.
So I was told by Del Curry,
Scottie Pippen struggles on the golf course, right?
Right.
I was told at that thing that I'm going against Scottie Pippen the next next day match play heads up one-on-one scotty pippen so we decide like okay we can probably
have a cup of drinks at the casino a little bit longer than we should i was like i don't curry
wouldn't lie to me you know no he wouldn't try to get in your head he didn't know at that time
though that i was playing scotty pippen nobody knew that i was playing scotty pippen until that
night though so it wasn't like del curry was like specifically trying to tell me
that the guy i'm playing like pat you should go have six to seven more red bull vodkas that you
probably should at the casino you made that connection on your own yes i i took my i took
my previous research from del curry with future gains against scotty pipp. And I did the math and I was like, yeah,
we could probably stay at this casino
and play war all night if we wanted to.
And we did.
And we chose to do that.
Oh, they had war?
Oh, yeah, they had war.
It was a good game.
It was hot for us, too.
I mean, I think Ty was losing a lot.
Yeah, what else is new?
Ty.
Yeah, exactly.
It was good for everybody.
I mean, Ty was losing all the battles,
but the rest of us were winning our wars.
You know what I mean?
So it was happening.
But we had a good time.
You know, I had a couple cocktails.
Plus, like, we didn't know what to expect going into the day.
No clue.
Going into this tournament.
No.
And because of the rain delay, I think in retrospect, it made everything a lot looser
and kind of more frantic and hassled.
And so we were like, oh, this is a good time.
We can enjoy ourselves.
You know, we don't have to be, like, uptight.
Let's get loose.
We can have a couple drinks.
We'll be fine.
So we had that mindset going in, like yes let's let's get after it tonight we're gonna wake up tomorrow do the same thing we don't we even have to play less
holes because the rain yeah we don't have 27 holes it'll be less time we're gonna play 18 holes
tomorrow i mean honestly at this point i'm just playing so much golf i mean it's gonna be an easy
day tomorrow so we show up scotty pippen's here i'm like hey scotty good to see you man and i'm
watching him on the practice screen, and he's been
putting in work over there. Like, he's
really working his ass off on this
practice screen. I'm like,
is Scottie Pippen, like,
he's putting a lot of these chips
really close. I mean,
he was chipping from the rough. He was burying these
long putts, and I'm like, that's not
Scottie Pippen I heard about.
Darren Williams doubled down on the practice screen, too. He's like, oh, you're playing Scottie today? He's like, shit, you're not even going to have to play, really. Yeah, and I'm like that's not Scotty Pippen I heard about Darren Williams doubled down on the
practice screen too he's like oh you're playing Scotty today he's like shit you're not even gonna
have to play really yeah and I'm like thank you D Will appreciate that that's why I heard from
Dell yesterday I'm like all right sounds good so we get up on the tee box and uh Scotty Pippen's
there and I wish him good luck you know sir good luck I'd like to wish you good luck and I look at
the camera I'm like Scotty Pippen has been in a situation he's about to be in today.
Playing against me.
You know what I mean?
This guy's got six rings.
He's a fucking Hall of Famer.
But today he's going to play against me.
And I don't know how he's going to handle it, to be honest.
And we start off, and I hit a good tee shot. I mean, I drive the hell out of one.
I get going.
And I think Scottie, I don't want to say Scottie was rattled,
but I think Scottie thought, oh, man, this guy's going to play a little bit.
Because he was probably being told, by the way, from the NFL guys,
the same exact thing that I was being told about him.
So we start playing like seven holes in.
I'm having great conversations with him.
You know, I'm like chatting with him.
I'm like, what do you do on a daily basis?
He's like, well, you know, I live out in L.A. now.
I still got four kids or whatever.
He said, I try to get around a golf in a day.
And I was like, oh, oh boy that is not good news so scotty loves the golf and then i start
seeing scotty hit some shots that are just like starting to come together and i'm like wait a
fucking minute i think i was lied to i think i was lied to but i started making putts i was making i
was burying putts so like it was things were falling so i i was up i
was up one on scotty pippen there for a little bit i was really starting to play and then i hit one
out of bounds again over the green which i think if i figured out my yardages i would have been in
a much better spot in golf but i hit one over out of bounds so i can see the holes that were even
there going in the back nine i think i was down one like we were really like we were battling the
first nine holes there were five different lead changes.
It was so fun to watch.
It was a real battle there.
And going into the back nine, I was like, all right, I'm starting to feel a little good too.
I may or may not have had a vodka and iced tea.
I'm back in the game here.
Feeling a lot better about everything.
And then I think Scotty did the same thing.
I don't know what he did in his particular world.
We were walking this, by the way. Yeah. Mind you, I talked about how relaxed the same thing. I don't know what he did in his particular world. We were walking this, by the way.
Yeah, mind you, I talked about how relaxed the atmosphere was.
This was not.
This was not a relaxed atmosphere.
Everybody was walking, and everybody was trying to kill each other.
I mean, this was a war zone.
It was hot.
It was hot.
It was 148 degrees, possibly, which, by the way,
I was at the Hot Works sauna this morning.
It kind of prepared me for the Bahamas, I think.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I've been doing it. That's why I had been going to the Hot Works sauna this morning. It kind of prepared me for the Bahamas, I think. Yeah, I've been doing it.
That's why I had been going to the Hot Works sauna, because of the situation.
But we're walking this thing.
It's very hot.
I refuse to put on sunscreen.
Scottie Pippen had his own umbrella he was using to keep the sun.
Great move.
One of the most legendary things I've ever seen in my entire life.
And Scottie Pippen went ahead and got real hot.
I mean, real fucking hot. I was down three with seven left, and I looked right in the camera. i've ever seen in my entire life and scotty pippen went ahead and got real hot i mean
real hot i was down three with seven left and i looked right in the camera and i go now we go
now we go because i was starting to like really i was starting to feel it like i was starting to like my shots everything was starting to come together i was like now we go i was like now
i'm gonna win the next six here and this is gonna be incredible tv because there's cameras now following our group because of what scotty was doing because scotty pippen's
a legend i was like now we go so i hit a fucking bomb of a drive par five bomb of a drive out drove
everybody and then uh patrick peterson's caddy comes up to me and goes which by the way they
told me he was not allowed to do this so he definitely cheated like you you weren't allowed
to help the other people it was not nfl it was one-on-one like you can't even help that
patrick peterson's caddy comes up to me goes hey with this shot here just go ahead and move it up
in the front of your stance a little bit tilt your club just a little bit forward and swing as hard
as you can wait on your back foot i was like my guy so i take out a seven iron i do the whole
thing and boom par five i'm'm sitting pin high, fucking beautiful position.
Beautiful position now.
I got a nice little chip definitely getting a birdie here.
We're about to be two down with six to go. Possibly an eagle.
Possibly an eagle if I could chip in there, no big deal.
Scottie Pippen from 190 yards out just fucking dunks it.
Fucking boom, bang, and then walks up to the green,
gets the ball, camera's on him, and he goes,
Pippen ain't easy.
Are you kidding me?
I was fucking demoralized.
I was fucking demoralized.
So I had a chance to chip in to tie
because I was a stroke ahead
because of the fucking Patrick Peterson
caddy tip. And I give it
a go and I probably missed by like that much.
But man, Scottie Pippen might have glided off of that green,
walking to the next hole.
I mean, the way he was walking to that next hole,
and I just looked at him.
He looked at me, and he was now four up.
And he knew that this was over.
And I'm like, God fucking damn it.
It was so awesome.
Oh, my.
He just sucked the soul out of me.
He literally just brought it out of me. And that was over. It was so awesome. Oh, my. He just sucked the soul out of me. Like, literally just brought it out of me.
And that was over.
It was over at that point.
I mean, I could see it because I was caddying for Pat.
I was watching him the whole time.
And Scotty had just hit, before that chip shot,
he had hit the worst shot of his day.
Yeah.
He, like, duff shanked the ball to the right,
and it was sitting right in front of a bunker.
Terrible lie.
And it was like, all right, we got him here.
You know, this is it. I had just hit probably the best shot that I've hit in a day.
And I could see you.
I could see you bouncing a little bit.
It was like you right before kickoff.
You were ready to go.
I'm ready.
And he hit it.
That ball hit off the green, hit the pin, dropped straight down.
And we were like, what the fuck do we do now?
And then literally everybody's so happy for Scottie Pippen.
Patrick Peterson's clapping for him.
Like, I thought we were fucking teammates in this thing.
Everybody, all the TV people are like, that's Scotty.
Yeah, you really needed that.
You're already Scotty Pippen.
He dunks that thing in, though.
And boy, I've never seen a man just look at another man and be like,
what the fuck are you going to do to me?
And there was shit I could do to him.
So he said Pippin ain't easy?
Pippin ain't easy.
Did you get it?
Yeah, because his name's Scotty Pippin.
Oh, yeah.
Six rings, baby.
How tall is he, by the way?
6'40", probably.
I mean, his swing goes to the clods, comes down.
Very long clubs.
I have no idea.
I didn't see him.
But it didn't seem as if he was...
He wasn't bending over.
They weren't off the racks.
I would assume a guy golfing every day of his life
has some sort of custom set of gloves.
By the way, I was the only guy without a pair of gloves.
Another thing against me.
Your bag is so funny.
It's such a mixed bag of fucking gloves in there.
Terrible gloves, too.
It's like the leftover bag that sits in the corner of the clubhouse.
If anybody forgets a club, that's what Pat leftover bag that sits in the corner of the clubhouse. Anybody like forgets a club.
That's what Pat's bag of clubs is.
I was in that game.
I was in that game,
you know,
cause it's not the arrow,
right?
It's the native American.
Correct.
And that's how I view it.
But in this particular case,
uh,
the other native American I was battling against,
uh,
had a great fucking arrow and I was lied to about it.
He might've golf.
He might've shot scratch.
He might've shot scratch against me. He might've shot scratch. He might have shot scratch against me.
He might have shot scratch against me.
There was another one.
It was a par three downhill.
You were, again, pin high, just off the green, just a chip and a putt.
And you chip it and you putt it in.
And Scotty's lining up for his putt.
This is his second shot.
It's a birdie putt.
Probably 16, 17 feet.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Fuck, I forgot all about this.
Because he bladed it.
Remember, he bladed it.
The crowd saw him blade.
By this point, we had a little bit of a crowd
because Scottie Pippen was playing, I guess, the golf round of his life.
By the way, best he's ever performed at golf, because I'm around,
better teammate than Jordan.
Yep.
People forget.
People forget.
There were whispers going around.
There was whispers going around that if I was around more during that Bulls run,
Scottie Pippen's probably Michael Jordan.
Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen.
I just saw that guy put on a fucking show out there when everybody's telling me,
oh, he can't golf.
The guy fucking shot scratch against me out of nowhere.
The way they were talking about him was that he should not have been invited to
the tournament.
Yes.
That is the way.
Really?
That's how people.
Greg Anthony was even saying it.
Greg Anthony was like the captain of the NBA team,
and he got me in his cart at one point to drive me down to a thing,
and I was like, yo, Scottie Pippen's unbelievable.
He was like, today.
I started crying laughing.
Did you have a chance to talk to Del after and be like, you fucking lied to me.
Oh, yeah, I told Del, I was like, Del, what the fuck? You lied to me.
He was like, well, I saw it yesterday.
He was not great.
And Greg Anthony told me.
And I was like, Del, he buried me, Del Curry.
He buried me.
He was like, hey, pipping ain't easy.
So he bladed that shot.
And it was like an 18, maybe 20-foot putt even.
It was long.
And you're in for par.
And he putts, makes a birdie putt, just drains it.
Just straight in.
Drains it.
Turns to you with a slight little just casual little cockeyed smile
and just says, nice par, brother.
And does that fucking little glide and walks right off the green again.
We're heating up.
Oh, yeah. We're heating up. Oh, yeah.
We're heating up.
Honestly, this show, I mean, by the end of this thing, full climax.
Hotter than Ty's legs.
Pulsating.
Foreshadowing.
That's a foreshadow joke.
I would say that we're speaking words very well today.
Yeah, I think so.
I would say today is a good speaking word day.
And if I wanted to speak words in another language,
you know where I would go?
Where?
Babbel.
Oh!
Got to.
Babbel is the language learning app
that will get you speaking a new language quickly
and with confidence.
Back in the day, there was another platform
that used to teach people how to speak another language.
You used to plug it in and whatever.
You would have to dedicate four years of your life
to potentially learn that language.
And when you did, by the way,
you couldn't speak without having a fucking word bank.
I know that because I did it.
I ended up in Morocco after I thought I learned French.
Without the word bank,
I had no idea what to say back to them.
So I didn't learn shit.
I wasted a bunch of money and a bunch of time.
But with Babbel,
I'm ready to go in there
and start sitting in a little tongue to a bunch of people.
You speak a new language with confidence.
You can choose from 14 different languages,
including Spanish, French,
Italian, Chow, and
German.
Just nine.
Nine.
Nine.
Just nine.
Really?
And what I just said to you was no
just not and i only know that because of our friends at babble babble was designed to quickly
get you speaking your new language within weeks it's pretty quick weeks you're speaking an entirely
new language foxy's looking at me a little bit confused, a little bit befuddled.
In English, that means confused.
Not another language.
But why are you so confused there?
Well, if it only takes a couple weeks, I might just do it just to be able
to say I can speak another language.
That is something you should do. Become a well
cultured human being. Bingo.
Convenient lessons are only 10 to 15 minutes.
You can do anything for
10 to 15 minutes.
Learn through interactive dialogue
so you can perfect your pronunciation and your accent.
Lessons are lovingly created by over 100 language experts.
Those are real people.
Yes.
It actually says that right here.
Not by a translation machine that's just teaching you the words,
not telling you how to actually use them.
It's available as an app or online,
and your progress will be synced across all devices.
Be bold this summer.
Do something different.
Let's learn a new language with our friends from Babbel.
For a limited time, listeners can go to babbel.com forward slash heartland and get a whole year
of access to Babbel for as low as $3.50 a month.
Look at you becoming a hero for $3 and 50 cents a month that's free go
to babble.com forward slash heartland and select your language that is b-a-b-b-e-l.com forward
slash h-e-a-r-t-l-a-n-d babble speak a new language with confidence relatively quickly
and for basically no money thanks to our friends at babble i'm excited to watch zito
see if he can actually speak Spanish in just a couple weeks.
Fuck you, hypnotist.
And back to the show.
These are the things you pick up when you golf every day, too.
You get these little sayings and shit you can do on the course.
Scotty Pippen's the best.
He kept calling me pro the whole time,
like fucking John Daly's cat.
He calls John Daly.
It's been nice playing with you, pro.
And I'm like, who the fuck is Scotty?
Get the fuck out of here, Scotty Pippen.
I love Scotty Pippen, man.
I absolutely do.
I taught him how to shotgun a beer.
Oh, yeah.
Awesome.
Taught him how to shotgun a beer after he had beat me, obviously.
During there, it wasn't as much friendly banter.
But whenever he knew he won, I think he became a fan.
He saw you shotgun one.
And he looked at it.
He goes, what the fuck is that?
He goes, I'm'm gonna do one of
those with you before you gotta teach me how to do that and i was like sounds good so i i did a full
instructor by the way about to put an instructional video on how to shotgun out on the internet with
scotty pippen no big deal and uh it was after it was the next hole after it was declared over
because there wasn't enough holes left for me to catch up and i think we're all pretty excited
about that because the nfl had already been deemed the champions.
So I was already a champion.
He had already beat me.
We're in a win-win situation here.
Let's put our swords away.
Let's put our swords away.
So we get out this bubble.
First of all, the people that wanted us to do it,
came and brought me another one of these Calicos,
which is the Bahama beer,
which is their Budweiser, but thicker.
It is somehow thicker than that.
And they were like,
you and Scotty Pippen are going to shotgun I was like not that beer they're like well it's all we have
I was like yeah I'll make sure one of my fucking guys finds a light beer boy show up with two Bud
lights toss them over I'm like thank you sir we'll be doing these American ones here even though
they're not I don't think and Scottie Pippen I like teach him how to do it he takes it down like
a champ and he said that's the best way I ever him how to do it he takes it down like a champ
and he said that's the best way i ever drank a beer in my life and i was like hey most caucasian
shit you've ever done and he goes you got that right and then he walks away then we have the
award ceremony after that go down to the first tee we're all lined up again i started talking
to kyle williams who played against del curry kyle williams by the way
beauty beauty that's what i texted you i said tell me kyle williams as cool as i think he's gonna everything you think about kyle williams go ahead and triple it just the coolest dude on earth
coolest dude on earth he is standing right next to me sweating pretty profusely i mean it was hot
out there we walked 18 holes i was like how'd you do man i said you had del curry so yeah i
played against okay i said he was good one he said yeah he said i shot one under today and i beat
del by one so del shot scratch too like kyle williams and del curry i guess put on like a pga
like fucking match play against each other and kyle williams is one under and del curry shot
scratch so i mean he only won the match but he was up one on him i was like man you really battled out there he was like yeah del curry's unbelievable i was like but you
you won kyle and kyle williams not a guy you think he's gonna be good at golf just like aq
this is a d lineman who's a little i mean he's a little thicker he's not as big as he was during
his playing is he a little thicker he's from louisiana too just a southern boy down there
and he fucking hit a flop shot over my head. Like, from two feet away, three feet away.
I was standing right in front of him.
He hit a flop shot right over my fucking head.
I stood there, by the way, no hands over nuts or face.
Wow.
Yeah.
I was going to make it for the video.
Well, and right after that, he was like, well, good luck,
because the last guy did this, too.
I put it right through his teeth.
Well, because I think I said to him, I said said you're one of those flop shots over my head
and he was like sure man just like so casual and i was like oh he wouldn't lie to me it's just like
how i talk about whenever you go to resorts and they offer like uh something i'm like oh they
wouldn't kill you sure just like del curry wouldn't lie to me about scotty pippen they
would never do that i'm like sure you wouldn't lie to me and i stood what three feet away from
him so close i probably the closest one, like closer than comfort.
And I had my hands over my balls first.
And I was like, I don't want to break my hands anyways.
I just stood there straight up, just casual, just stared him right in his eyes.
And he fucking right over my head.
And I'm like, Kyle Williams can play.
And then he went on to shoot a one under that day.
It was, I mean, it was an incredible event.
Did you win an award?
Goddamn right I did.
I got this fucking belt that didn't come off my waist since the day I got it.
The moment I got it.
They had an entire award ceremony where the NFL got the trophy.
We passed the trophy down and we passed it back.
Aaron Rodgers got interviewed again.
And once again, one of his first sentences was,
I feel like everybody played really well except for Pat.
And then I was like, Peterson.
He's like, McAfee.
So literally in the opening speech and in the last speech,
I was in the first sentence.
I'm like, Aaron, you're the man, dude.
Aaron Rodgers is the man.
And I should not have been invited there.
But I went into the Bahamas.
Right down there on the equator of the sun is what it felt like.
Felt like we were on the equator.
I went into a beautiful place called the Bahamar.
Bahamar.
Bahamar.
Yeah, please, have some respect.
I don't know how to pronounce it.
I still don't.
That place was gorgeous.
The president of the fucking-
Shout out to the president.
Shout out to the president of the resort.
He was there.
He was a good guy.
I ended up on a security report a couple times.
Well, I remember when that guy wanted to come into our VIP area,
I wanted to pay the big bouncer.
And he was like, I'm not allowed to be paid.
It's against the rules.
So I was like, I'm going to pay you.
So he had to go ask somebody for me to pay him.
So I ended up on a security report that Pat McAfee
wouldn't allow a
bouncer not to get tipped or something like that so the president read my fucking name in his morning
report it was like how'd club bond do i was pretty good everybody had a good time blah blah blah
pat mcafee refused to not pay blah blah okay because the guy came up to you he was like yeah
you're on my security report he was like yeah yeah you you refusing not
to tip a guy is hilarious first of all because that gives we're trying to give you an excuse
not to tip people right because when you go to these trips like everybody's expecting to be
tipped at all times i mean you you have to bring in a lot of money to tip a lot of people which is
by the way completely cool with me if you carry bags you work you deserve it he was like what i'm
trying to do here though for that particular case is set you up so that you
can't tip somebody and the fact that you refuse to not do it was a very aggressive decision and
i appreciate it i was like hey i appreciate you president no worries tell me it's your thing like
tip and bouncers is my fucking it's kind of a thing man literally we had this entire section
for just the three of us at one one point, D. Will came over
and was just like with a couple of his boys.
Let's say the club is it.
The club is like much larger than that.
But let's just say it's a 500 square foot club.
We had 250 square feet of the thing
just to ourselves.
Like I could have,
I was doing like,
I could have done like the worm
all by myself in that place,
just having a good time.
And that security guy was the only reason why that happened.
I mean, it felt like I was just cruising in my own little condo up there
with a DJ that was speaking way too much.
I haven't been to a club in a long time.
This fucking DJ was chatty, bro.
Just play the fucking hits, bro.
Just play the hits.
I'm going to take my horse to Hotel Road.
And I'm like, yeah, you guys like this song?
You guys like this song?
Okay, we're going to change it.
Next song.
Same thing.
Put that on repeat for like two hours, and then we left.
I mean, it was a wild experience, man.
Should not have been invited.
Lost a lot of money at a casino.
Won a championship belt.
Befriended some people.
And now we're back here in America.
Memories that'll last a life.
Completely sunburned.
I think, when I say this, I mean this.
I think we befriended a lot of people.
I think so, too.
Absolutely.
Possibly the entire island of the Bahamas.
Like the workers and everybody.
I think we befriended all of them.
Well, that was so cool, too, because like we were saying,
like none of those guys from the NBA side knew what to expect from you coming in.
And I think they all left like that dude's a good fucking guy.
Yeah, I think that guy's a good guy is probably the mindset.
J.R. Smith was walking through the casino the last night.
This is before the Scottie Pippen because Post Malone was back in the high roller area.
Those dudes were playing massive hands, like massive
hands. There was no reason for us to go back there.
You couldn't even get close.
Scotty Pippen's playing back there.
Post Malone's playing back there.
You name it. Everybody's playing
blackjack in this back area and everybody's
enjoying it. And JR
came down with his wife a little bit late and people are taking
pictures or whatever and we're sitting there playing war.
And he walks by and I turn around and I J.R., I go, Mr. Smith.
And he literally stops what he's doing because he just got out of a crew of people who were taking pictures.
He looks at me and goes, McAfee.
And he walks up, dabs me up.
I'm like, my man.
I was like, you going back there?
He's like, yeah, I'll be back.
I was like, me too.
Not really.
But have a good one.
He's like, thank you.
And then he got like another 10 pictures.
I was like, ah, that's 100% my fault what just happened but all good people all good people wait why was
post Malone there for the actual tournament or just no i think he was probably vacationing down
there or something i don't know what he was doing but word it's i got a picture i got to see him
like through a crack of some people he looked hilarious he looked absolutely did he cut his hair
he recently did i believe yeah it was like he had shorter hair.
He had shorter hair, but it was still...
Like the curls?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I saw him straight through the thing.
It was interesting.
He had quite a crowd.
There was like a bunch...
Because a lot of families go on vacations down there.
So there was just like a bunch of 14-year-olds
lined up in the casino
to watch him playing like $4,000 hands of blackjack,
which is good for the kids.
Gives them dreams.. Kids with dreams.
Kids with dreams.
It's better than us playing fucking.
I mean, I play.
I should not be saying the numbers I was playing in a war.
It was a bad decision.
Great odds.
Probably best odds in a casino.
That's what they say.
That's what they say.
Ty, do you feel that way?
I mean, I lost like $1,400 in a matter of like 35 minutes.
Not a lot of winners coming out of that casino.
You lost rent last week.
The pure joy on Pat's face whenever something bad happens to Ty is incredible.
It happened at the Pittsburgh Casino,
and then the pitcher when he was next to the shitter on that airplane.
Your quote on the story of his legs,
what was it, Ty went to the sun last night?
Ty took a trip to the sun last night.
I had a good healthy giggle for her.
Well, there was like one night where we all stayed out
and Ty wasn't feeling too well,
so he came out late.
He was trying to meet up with us,
but this place was so,
there's no exaggeration,
this place was so damn big.
You could get lost in there.
It was amazing.
And Ty did,
he got lost.
He,
he couldn't,
he couldn't get into the club to meet us.
And you know,
it was like,
we were out way too late.
We get back to the room and,
or we're in the casino.
I mean,
and I'm,
all I'm thinking to myself is,
well,
at least Ty got a good night's sleep and he's ready to go for tomorrow.
At least one of us did.
Right.
And we finally make it back to the room.
And Ty's laying in his bed.
And he's the only one just functioning awake.
So I was like, what's up, man? He's like, I just got back here five minutes ago.
I was like, where have you been all night?
He's like, I just lost $800.
I was like, oh, fuck, man.
I spent two and a half hours walking around the grounds of the resort trying to fucking find these guys. Oh, man. I spent two and a half hours walking around the grounds of the resort
trying to fucking find these guys.
Oh, man.
There's not a lot of great...
High tide almost grabbed me and brought me out into the ocean at one point.
No one has luck like you, dude.
Yeah, well...
It's incredible.
If I was to recommend one thing to that president of that place,
runs a great outfit, runs a great outfit, place is beautiful.
There needs to be some signs telling people where to go.
Foxy was lost for four hours.
Same thing happened to me Thursday night.
Foxy, we're gambling, we're on the craps table,
Foxy's way too drunk, so we all kind of look at Foxy.
We're like, yo, you should probably go to bed.
And Foxy's like, okay.
So we play, we play craps,ps we play blackjack we play for like another
couple hours like literally another few hours and we're having a good time everybody caa people are
always awesome i mean vino was there oh this dude is an electric factory at all times he's yelling
at this he's starting chants at this craps table even when we're losing i mean vino is a force to
be reckoned with at all
the times took us to dinner the first night vino's a great guy love him uh his i met his wife and his
family i said what do people say about the impression you go well aside from you laying
on the new york accent so thick they say it's pretty good do you listen to yourself talk? I mean, you literally just said the same exact way that I did.
Vino is the best.
I fucking love that guy.
Yeah, he's the man.
I think that's probably the best part of me joining CAA
is getting a chance to meet Vino.
And knowing that Vino is a real human.
Knowing that that human exists makes me feel better about the society as a whole.
He's like the fucking president of CAA Sports.
He's the guy.
I told these guys, I was like, shit, after we left,
I left there feeling like fucking Vino repped me.
That's Vino.
Vino, I think he's like, I'm not sure there's many people
just in the world of business that are higher than Vino.
And this dude is an an electric factory it's like
i'm so happy humans like you can exist and succeed you know what i mean like that gives me a lot of
inspiration that gives me a lot of inspiration everyone needs to gamble with vino dude those
chants were incredible and he wasn't gambling that much money by the way he was like he was
being strictly for a good time yeah he's only there for a good time that is i enjoyed him a lot
i mean he's a fucking
electric so we ate dinner with him we gambled for a little bit we sent foxy to bed yes so we
said gambled a little longer gamble a little bit longer have a good time i think that was whenever
we went and stopped in the club for like an hour because everybody was like oh you gotta go see the
club you gotta go see club bond's famous down here so we stop in there we poke our head around
like yeah maybe we'll do this and i was first night and then we come back we're going back to the room and who the fuck do we see just
fucking stumbling through the fucking casino it's foxy i'm like bro what are you doing he's like
i was looking for you guys i was like you were supposed to go to the room he's like i couldn't
find it so dude so we try to get back to our room we We got lost. And we were nowhere near where Foxy was.
And we walk into this one vault area.
And we go in there.
And the lady there, she's like, oh, you're with him?
She points at Foxy.
And I'm like, yep.
I was like, I can't wait.
She goes, he's been in here four different times looking for his room.
I've had to send him out of here four times in the last two and a half hours
i was like that sounds about right but just real quick where is our room
she goes out here over there i'm like you got it so we walked back to the room foxy goes to sleep
and i was just like imagine where foxy was for those other like when that lady sent him out there
who knows i'm surprised he wouldn't tell us either. We kept going, Fox, where have you been?
No joke, four hours.
Where have you been?
I've been in the bowels of the hotel.
That's all he would say.
My dad sends me a screenshot of a fucking news clipping.
I guess that three sharks ate a woman down in the Bahamas
while we were down there.
All I could think about is that's probably where Fox moved.
I was pretty close to them sharks.
I seriously was in the bowels, the boiler room, the laundry room.
I went upstairs.
I went downstairs.
I went outside.
I was everywhere and could not find the damn room.
Last night, the last night, we were trying to get to the casino,
and no doors are marked.
So there was a security guy holding the door open.
We're coming from the receptions, like the last reception.
It's supposed to be an awards show. I guess missed somebody somebody spoke and then they kind of before we
ate our food we're sitting with the island a couple other people and we're sitting and we're
trying to get back into the casino and we walk from the reception and we're walking there's just
this massive building but you have no idea where anything is so there's one security guy's holding
the door open and we're all kind of dressed up a little bit so they i guess they think we're somebody important the guy opens the door for
us we just walk right in there's four other security guys in the thing and i actually got
feel like this is kind of oceans 11 and i get my hand on a door and a guy goes why are you opening
the vault door i was six inches away from the vault and we're like uh is this the casino they're like out of here
they kick this out and then the guy was like that door i was six inches away from the vault
and they don't i don't know if there's a lot of people that know that that's where the vault is
because it's a completely unmarked door it's completely unmarked operation i had my i had
my fucking hand on the the thing of the vault though and they're like what are you why are
you opening the vault and And I was like, after
screaming, I feel like we're in Ocean's Eleven.
And then they
rushed him. They're like, alright, alright.
Pat was like, did he just say
vault? And they're like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
That's what they said. They didn't say vault.
Mind you that a
hotel key card could open the vault
as well.
By the way, I know where the vault is.
If anything goes wrong.
Can I keep my passport in there?
They're not going to be able to pick that up and move it.
So, Mr. President, I like what you're doing.
Just know that I know where that thing's at.
I can dig in through the bottom,
come in through the north side like I'm fucking...
What's his name?
Danny Ocean.
Choppo.
Choppo.
Danny Ocean.
That's what we're talking about.
There's his love.
Well, he didn't dig his way in.
That could have been Ocean 17, though.
Whatever's next is I'm digging into a vault from the south side.
Do they have sensors on the bottom of the vault?
That's something we should think about.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, there is?
Oh, so we can't just come in from there
and straight up through? If we should think about. Oh, yeah. Oh, there is. Oh, so we can't just come in from there and straight up through?
If we do a power outage, maybe.
Oh, that is what
they did in Ocean's Eleven.
They had that big thing.
The Greco.
Pinch.
Yeah.
Need that AMP.
Knock everything out.
Hey, was anybody
in the turquoise water
of the Caribbean?
Oh, my God.
The fact that that is
what Foxy described it as.
It's unbelievable.
Foxy, while we landed, as soon as we landed in the Bahamas we get in the car to drive us to the thing and he
goes this is my first time in turquoise waterland nailed it you mean the Caribbean just a fucking
dumb just a dumb dumb turquoise water just turquoise waterlands uh yeah you guys got in
water right yeah it did It was delightful Nice
Great sand
I passed it
I was up on the beach just laying there
With my title belt
This belt brings a lot of eyes by the way
I bet
It's hard to walk through places
With this belt on
Did you walk through TSA with that thing
TSA
Did the whole fucking thing
I was like it's holding my pants up
The whole thing
It was hard to take off here
Today you know what I mean
I had to take it off
Go to the bathroom in the airport Because I learned it was tough had to take it off and go to the bathroom in the airport
because I learned it was tough.
It was tough to go to the bathroom with a championship belt on.
But they did it right down there, man.
I'm not sure I'll ever get invited back.
I'm not sure.
Well, you won.
That's what I'm saying.
Maybe I don't even want to go.
Maybe I'm undefeated.
Sounds like if Rodgers is making decisions, you'll be there.
I'm not sure he is, though.
I think this is kind of like – I don't think Aaron Rodgers is planning this thing. I don't know. I love Aaron Rodgers, making decisions. You'll be there. I'm not sure he is, though. I think this is kind of like, I don't think Aaron Rodgers is planning this thing.
I don't know.
I love Aaron Rodgers, by the way, though.
He's the best.
He sat down with, Nick and I were sitting at a table.
We got our food before Foxy and Ty, and we're just sitting there eating.
I think those two were doing something.
And Thielen sits down with us.
We're like, all right, what up, Thielen?
Good to chat with you.
And then there was one seat open,
and fucking Aaron Rodgers came and sat down,
and this was in the middle of the first day of rating.
We chatted for like 45 minutes to an hour,
and literally just one of the most pure conversations I've ever had with a human.
It was awesome.
I think he gets miscued.
By the way.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
I was right.
I was right.
I was right.
I don't always talk. I don't always tweet. But when I do, normally right. I was right. I was right. I don't always talk.
I don't always tweet.
But what I do, normally right.
You know that beer chug thing?
Yeah.
It was a setup.
Yeah.
It was all a setup.
You called it.
It was all a setup.
Like, it was a whole plan.
Him and Bakhtari had something before.
It was a bit.
It was a whole bit.
It was a bit.
They actually rode to the game together.
It was a bit.
They were in it together.
So, like, whenever he did, like, the fake thing and pointed back to him it was like an entire bit so whenever
the internet just started burying him and i tweeted out look at aaron rogers making his
offensive lineman shine look at what he's doing here for him 100 accurate 100 accurate and aaron
i was like i was like aaron why don't you come out and say that he was like i kill him with
indifference i was like that's a great quote by the way i put
that on a fucking t-shirt and then i had to google what indifference if there's one thing you are not
is indifferent he said i kill him with indifference i was like that's a great quote
couldn't tell you we still had another 25 30 minute conversation after that and the entire time
i didn't really know what he was saying when it came to the indifference thing but i do think he
gets misconstrued a lot yeah big time i think that's a real thing and i think it's kind of
left him jaded too like like whenever you're aaron rogers or one of those types like everything you
do is going to get scrutinized or whatever sure and i think there's been a couple times where
something's been taken out of context or something like that and it's kind of like made him feel like yeah
fuck everybody they find a way to pick out the negative in everything he says yeah and
he didn't say that right but it was very much like i was asking him about i was like it feels
as if you get a you get attacked more than other people and he was like yeah he was chatting about
it he was like there's been a couple times where I've said this and this is what ends up
getting said.
It's like,
I do feel like he gets
misconstrued a lot.
And for us,
he was nothing but a gentleman
that just completely nice.
Seriously,
everyone.
Yeah.
He was nice.
By the way,
Aaron Rodgers was nice
to everybody.
They say don't meet your heroes,
you know,
and that's just not true
because he was a great guy
and I would like to go on record.
I took a lot of heat from the golf influencers that were there for the fucking mustache.
First thing Roger said to me, wow, that's an incredible mustache.
That's all I was looking for the whole weekend.
The golf influencers were burying Ty.
It was so funny.
Just for the mustache?
No.
Just for the mustache.
They were burying Ty for the mustache.
I mean, he was getting buried by these golf influencers
because, you know, I mean, a mustache is something
that is an aggressive look.
But Ty only had the mustache for Aaron Rodgers.
Sure.
Only reason he had the mustache was for Aaron Rodgers.
And Ty said, I'm doing this for Aaron Rodgers.
And it wasn't less than 30 seconds after Ty showed up
and tore a table that Aaron Rodgers stopped what he was doing,
looked up at Ty, pointed at his face, and said,
that's a good mustache.
Yeah.
Mission accomplished.
How good did you feel?
Oh, it was incredible.
Is that your Twitter bio yet?
Yeah, it is.
Aaron Rodgers.
It is.
He literally did.
He pointed at his face.
That's an incredible mustache.
And then Ty responded with, well, I was thinking maybe you were going to have one.
I thought about it.
Aaron said he thought about it.
He didn't pull the trigger, though.
I introduced Ty to Aaron Rodgers as,
this guy has been on record as saying
that you have brought him more happiness
than most of his family members.
He is a partial owner of the Green Bay Packers
and one of your biggest fans.
And he's like,
He said, don't get rid of me. Yeah, he said, fans. He said, don't get rid of me.
Yeah, he said, don't trade me
and don't get rid of me.
You know what, Ty?
Earlier I was talking about the golf influencers
judging him for his mustache.
There was about a good 10-minute run where he was just
getting buried by everybody.
Just like you said, company, I was
crying.
I think I was crying laughing laughing I got that screenshot of fucking
zoomed in on your face when he's next to that shitter I've never seen someone with so much joy
on their face man I love it just because I know whatever's coming out like whatever is coming from
this situation is going to be magical and that that was what was happening with the one girl, Kenzie.
God, I'm like a pedophile or whatever.
And we go, oh, we're going to have to talk about this on the podcast.
And Ty was like, that would be a real shame.
A real shame.
Basically, Ty was telling her that he was going to bury her on the podcast.
And she started like pouting and crying.
She's like, you know, I was just kidding, right?
I mean, I don't mean.
Ty was like, yeah, we'll see.
They all have one agent.
Boss bitch. She single-handedly
lost me like $300.
She didn't know how to play,
but she wouldn't listen to us telling her what to do.
It's one thing if you don't and you take advice.
She just wouldn't. She refused.
She thought we were fucking with her.
Good call. She was just hitting on... It's one thing if you don't and you take advice she just wouldn't she refused she thought we were fucking with her
She was just hitting on like 12 against the four. She's just hitting taking time
My king I got
Goddamn this was at like 4 a.m. To I mean this was this is pretty much last
There's nothing better than Ty at the fucking Blackjack table. It's fucking gold.
Because that's a chance for him to really show off his terrible luck.
You know what I mean?
It's the whole world seeing.
He was literally yelling at that dealer in Pittsburgh,
I got fucking too much rent this month.
Yeah, because Blackjack legitimately is a chance
for the entire world to see your luck.
That's all it is.
When you're Todd Schmidt, you just got to eat some bullets out there.
It's the worst luck ever.
There's nothing like it.
It's unbelievable, Todd.
It's like that movie, Good Luck Chuck or whatever.
Except you're the opposite.
I'm very happy Ty came into my life because this used to be me
in all these situations.
Hanging out with these guys,
I used to get buried every single time.
Dude, I love it, man.
I just love it.
Because everything to me is just a story.
It's all fake.
Everything's fake.
Everybody's a character
and this is all a movie.
So like watching...
Now granted, you have to pay real bills.
So I guess there are some real...
Yeah, you Forget about that.
I do personally, yeah.
Very real for some of us.
Monopoly money.
I don't think I've ever laughed so hard when I saw the Instagram story of your shins
when he put that up. Because in my head
I'm like, I know that this sums up his entire trip.
It was so funny.
As soon as you were like, get me the fuck out of here,
I was like, oh, my God, I can't wait to hear of all the shit
that went wrong for Ty.
That was on top of seeing the tweet that he was lost for fucking four hours.
And the shitter.
If there was somehow footage of you wandering around.
If there was somehow footage of you wandering around.
If there was somehow footage of Ty wandering around for four hours. Oh, yeah.
I had this whole story going on in my brain.
It'd be just one thing after another, and then at the end of it,
and my strings are on fire!
Me too, dude.
When I saw that story, I fucking have a laugh at heart.
I'm telling you, man.
When I came back to the room, and he was already in bed,
but we hadn't seen him all night, and he was still awake.
I was like, what happened to you, man?
I lost $700.
I almost fell over from laughing at his face.
Just both legs swollen like he got bit by a rattlesnake.
He's still rocking the shorts today
like a badge of honor.
I can't put anything else on.
The friction would be so painful.
I can't work.
I literally can't.
And to top it,
his girlfriend is a burn
nurse and she's
out of town when he gets home just like the cherry on top
the whole trip started with ty almost potentially losing his luggage too and he was like what we
did three circles around the luggage rack he was so mad yeah dude my bat was in there if i wouldn't
have had that all weekend i'd have been fucked oh god i, I almost didn't get a passport.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Of course I had fucking buckets and baskets of lotion
just sitting there for you to put on.
No, I mean, I did before we went out there,
and then we were out there for another 12 hours.
I kind of just forgot.
I had about fucking 45 Arnie Palmies on the course.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
So during the rain delay, we just kept drinking, obviously,
during the rain delay.
But I didn't drink as much because I was worried.
I was like, I actually have to do something when I caddy.
I don't know what it's going to be like.
Ty just was riding around the cart.
So he was absolutely blacked out.
Bro.
We got off the tee off.
He was just gone. out for Facebook. We got up to tee off for the win. He was just gone.
He came flying in once.
Fucking screeched the tires.
Of course, heard it.
I looked at him.
I was like, come on.
I gave him the Zito.
Come on, guys.
So after that whole Fox, he started driving.
I don't know if that was a real conscious decision.
It was.
I was almost falling asleep at the real deciding.
I looked at him. Get the DUI out there. I looked at him. It was a real conscious decision. It was. I was almost falling asleep at the real side. I looked at him.
Get the T.I. out there.
I looked at him, and it was a hole one.
And he had his sunglasses on.
He's just looking.
I was like, put your fucking sunglasses on, dude.
Your eyes looked like the devil pissed in them.
They were bulging out of his skull.
Maybe we were there to have a good time, you know?
We did.
Where was everybody else during those four hours of rain?
I mean there was a couple people around Scotty Pippen was in there
I don't know
They probably went and took naps
Probably nappers
I didn't know we were allowed
It was incredible
It was a cool weekend man
I'm sunburnt to hell
But it was a cool fucking weekend
Incredible
Incredible weekend
Did you consider yourself a golf influencer as well? After what you did? I think I What the USGA? man. I'm sunburnt to hell, but it was a cool fucking weekend. Incredible, incredible weekend.
Did you consider yourself a golf influencer as well after what you did? I think I influenced what the USGA. Yeah. Well, that's what I'm saying though. Like I think maybe I should have a
different title. I am a golf influencer. You know, they were all very nice. It's interesting to watch
people that, um, do make their living as being influencers for a thing like these, like Travis
Fulton, Kenzie chelsea and
i'm assuming there's others yeah there are a couple more i think but they get asked to go to
these things and just like basically just post about it talk about it that's all they want to
do and it's it's their job and it's a it's a pretty cool thing to kind of watch it come together
kenzie has epilepsy she's the first person i ever met epilepsy yeah her husband like drive has to
drive her around and stuff like that.
She said at any given moment, they were fascinating.
It was very fascinating to me because this might be the newest job title on earth, right?
Yes, for sure.
It's like being an influencer, let alone being a goal.
It was very fascinating kind of listening to the behind the scenes of it.
They have an agent.
Her name's Jess.
She's a boss lady. She's a boss lady.
She is a boss lady.
She came in, and it was just like,
it was very fascinating learning about the business
because it's a brand new one,
and I'm intrigued by it all.
Zito, I think you should be a golfer.
Not a bad gig, though, right?
Yeah, they can all golf very well.
I don't think you can just...
So you need to have credibility.
They didn't make their tour.
Former pro golfers. Oh, they are former are they're all kind of former pro golfers that kind of started
getting into the media world but there's not enough jobs i don't think in a media world because
golf is only covered by so many people so there's kind of this different route and it's like very
very interesting we met a girl named tish people's choice of miss philippines yep she used to be a
professional golfer yep she was there as well.
She was a golfer.
It was interesting to hear
because they're doing very well,
but I think if they start sucking at golf,
they won't be invited anymore.
So there's real pressure.
There's real pressure for them.
It's like a full business.
But Zito, I think you should maybe
hit the driver range a couple times
to become a full-time golf influencer.
I've got to get better at golf. I'm happy I'm not doing that Tahoe tournament. maybe hit the driver range a couple times, become a full-time golf influencer.
I've got to get better at golf.
I'm happy I'm not doing that Tahoe tournament.
Bro, you end up in spots where you're like,
I have no idea what I'm supposed to do here.
I don't even know what is even a thought. Do you think this tournament had more skill than what the Tahoe would have?
Yes.
This one was fucking – all these guys play at least a round of golf a day.
At least.
There's some dudes that golf three times a day.
That's crazy.
We played 54 holes in what, four days or three days?
Three days.
And I couldn't get out of bed this morning.
So for the final round, I was sharing a cart with Patrick Peterson, Scatty,
who is in his own right a scratch golfer.
And they just had their own little system worked out,
and they were doing everything.
And then I would walk out there and give Pat a couple clubs and we'd stand there look at each other like
what the fuck are we gonna do i mean like i could i could somewhat read agree i'm like yeah it's
left to right but i don't know how far out we're going here i mean i'm telling them things and
we're trying but nick was allowed to use a cart i was not it was like very it was in the rule so
the clubs were on a cart where Nick was driving.
Nick brought out eight clubs to me once.
I mean, we had no idea how far we were out.
You didn't have a yardage book?
No.
No.
Are you kidding me?
What are you talking?
We didn't even know we were playing.
Didn't even have a pamphlet for the day. I slept for two hours in a bathrobe on the couch in the living room.
Was there markers on the ground?
No.
No.
No.
So it was cart path only because it had rained so bad,
and they didn't want to tear up the course, so I would grab.
I couldn't even guess the yardage that Pat was at because they were rolling hills,
so I'd literally just grab clubs and run from the cart path over.
He grabbed eight clubs at one point.
He walks up to me with eight clubs.
I've never seen.
People that were there had to just be dying.
Like, look at these fucking guys.
Because, like, everyone's walking.
There are four balls out there, and we don't know which one's his.
I'm like, it could be any one of these balls.
And there were seven.
Yeah, once we got to his ball, once we figured out which ball was his,
we figured it, and we shot it, and we were good from there.
But, you know, I wasn't making a trip back to the cart.
It's a good move to bring all the clubs. It's a good move, then, bringing all the clubs.
It's a long way back, right?
I mean, and I had the hybrid all the way down to the nine iron.
Like, it could have been any.
Yeah.
Well, I know he's not hitting drivers.
Well, you got to account for the wind, too.
Strong wind.
Strong, thick air down there.
Yep.
Thick air down there.
Kind of got me in some trouble a couple times.
It was hilarious.
Because what I learned about my golf, the only thing I am consistent with is i'm nowhere near the cart path no matter where it is i will find the distance away from
you're such a quick ball golfer too like you want to go you get up there next one boom you play very
quickly ray allen is the fastest goal that's why ray allen got flustered in our our first match
because maybe i might have won it for us mostly because we were scrambling so we had no idea Ray Allen is the fastest going That's why Ray Allen got flustered in our first match Because
Maybe I might have won it for us mostly
Because we were scrambling
So we had no idea where my ball was
Ray Allen would be standing at his ball
Just like waiting for like 20 minutes
And he was like fuck this
I think I did
It was very evident what was going on
Ray Allen super nice guy
There's another super nice guy
Super nice human being No but I danced evident what was going on. Ray Allen, super nice guy. There's another super nice guy.
Super nice human being.
Did you call him Jesus at all?
No, but I danced.
We saw him the last night in the casino,
and I was wearing my belt, obviously.
As you should.
And the NBA guys, every time they looked at me,
they would just start laughing.
And I go up to Ray Allen, and I start dancing like with the thing in front there's
some music on the background i did a full spin and he's just literally standing there you gotta
remember ray allen is recognized everywhere so he's standing in the middle of this fucking room
six foot eight and there's just a white guy fucking hitting a full-on dance i did a spin
and like i'm not talking like a quick dance this was like a minute and a half of dance like almost
the full song no words words. No words.
No words.
I literally didn't say a word to him.
I just started dancing in front of his face.
And then I hit the fucking skateboard right in front of him.
And then I fucking hit it.
And I was like, was that right?
And he was like, he dapped me up,
and he just walked out of the room.
The thing about the NBA guys,
they're all so recognizable because they're all either fucking 40 feet tall
or their faces are blasted everywhere.
They have no privacy at all.
So I could see how they could be considered standoffish
because these guys never get a moment of –
but I will say they were all so incredibly nice,
and they didn't have to be.
Honestly, they didn't have to be nice to us at all,
especially Foxy.
I mean, I said it a million times.
They did not deserve to be there, and everyone was just extra, extra nice.
It was cool, man.
It was awesome.
It was fucking cool.
And I'm a champion.
This is awesome.
Which is even better.
I mean, this belt.
What a hysterical thing to have.
It's an awesome belt.
So everyone has that on the NFL side?
Yeah.
Were you the only one to wear it all the time after?
We walked into that reception thing like 45 minutes late.
And first of all, we couldn't find find it we tried to be on time we were doing a fucking foxy tie walk around we couldn't find anything so we get there and it's i open the door and i come walking
and by this point everybody knows me now right this is the last night and everybody just looks
at me points at me and just starts laughing laughing. He's wearing the fucking belt.
He's wearing it.
That picture of me and Scottie Pippen that he posted is from that reception thing.
When I walked in, he was like,
come here, I've got to get a photo with you.
I was like, Scottie, you got it, bro.
He took a photo with me.
So when they brought the belts out,
it was the awards ceremony,
and Greg Anthony talked to all the NBA guys.
He was kind of like the NBA correspondent.
And then Heinz Ward was like the NFL correspondent.
He came out carrying all these belts.
And as soon as Pat saw me,
oh, Heinz Ward, diner Southside.
She has about Southside 86.
He had a bar.
It was great.
Like right in his face.
Did he enjoy it?
Did Heinz enjoy it?
He just had a big smile.
It was TV, so he was just trying to smile.
He's always smiling.
He was just trying to keep it moving.
But everybody grabbed the belt, and they all tried to put it on their waist.
I put that motherfucker right up on the shoulder.
And the final shot of the show is them running down the picture of all the belts.
They go, waist, waist, waist.
And then they have to go up to my shoulder.
Everybody was too nice to us, though.
From production, the people at bleacher report i mean they could edit this to make me look real bad though i mean there's some terrible golf shots
that they could potentially put in there i'm assuming that kyle williams del curry one's
gonna get a lot of love though yeah and brett farve hitting ball 400 yards probably gonna get
a lot of love skills challenge i did okay but the the the people from at&t time warner that are putting it together
because that was a big i guess that was a big merger that just happened they have bleacher
report the people from cbs everybody was just so cool man everybody's so nice too nice and
i'm not sure we'll get invited back but if we do if that president from Baja Mars is listening, I wouldn't mind free room every year.
Just one time, one time for your boy.
That was great.
Thanks, everybody.
And now, a reading from Zito.
Thanks, Pat.
Oh, geez.
Hot start.
Who was the most excited to get...
Oh, fuck.
No, that's a bad start.
Hey, you've kind of stumbled out the blocks here,
but just like America,
you're young and you're scrappy.
Thank you.
And you're going to really battle through here
and leave the people happy.
That means a lot.
What's the song from Hamilton?
Just like my country, I'm young, scrappy, and hungry.
Something like that.
Yeah.
It fits. It fits right here. It fits you. You're young, scrappy, and hungry. Something like that.
It fits.
It fits right here.
It fits you.
It fits you.
You're young, scrappy, and hungry.
Thank you.
Just like your country.
Thank you, guys.
Why is this important?
What?
How is that anywhere near the first sentence that you stumbled on? Well, you could choose one of five, and I chose one, and one was too hard.
I'm going with two now.
Got it.
That's a little inside look at the ads.
Why is this important?
Question mark. Great question. What motivates you to digitize? now got it that's a little inside look at the ads why is this important question mark great question
what motivates you to digitize
preservation joy relieving organization where did you have to go to gather your home movies and
photos closet parents house attic oh my god this is probably a pretty good product too it's got to gather your home movies and photos. Closet, parents' house, attic?
Oh, my God.
This is probably a pretty good product, too.
It's got notes. It's an amazing product.
The box is out there.
It's actually a very good thing.
What type of media?
Film reel from 1971?
VHSs from your childhood?
Did you send in?
I think these are questions for me.
Yeah.
Is it digitalized or is it digitized oh it is digitized
digitalized no there's no l is there no punctuation on there is these are these just
bullet points for you to tell your own story yes the product yeah it makes a lot more sense now
oh so maybe let's hear about it you know oh. Yeah. The other day, we went to the store
and we were trying to get your VHSs up and going. From my high school kicks. From your high school
kicks. That's true. Big hassle. It cost an arm and a leg. That's what they said. And Legacy was
around the corner the whole time. We could have used them. And what Legacy does is what? They
transfer your VHSs or photos and put it all in one together, MP3. So that you can have everything stored right there on your computer in one place without
it taking up space.
Maybe it's something you want to throw back Thursday with.
Oh my God, now it's been digitized.
Is that right?
In what format?
MP3 or MP4.
Nice.
Oh, I thought you could do it to audio.
That would be awesome.
You can probably do that too, just in case.
Can you also do that?
Hopefully.
Oh, that's crazy.
And this all is because of a company called just in case. Can you also do that? Hopefully. Oh, that's crazy.
And this all is because of a company called?
Legacy Box.
So what do they do?
They send you a box and they ask you to do what?
Let me tell you right now.
Save your family film and photos from degrading or being lost forever,
unable to play the recordings because they don't have a VCR anymore,
or a camcorder is broken.
That's what happened to us.
Todd and I had to drive around the entire town looking for somebody that had a VCR because we had a VHS for one of my old kicks.
We were in the basement of a local news guy.
That was the only place we could find it
because we knew that this was going to be a problem.
Legacy Box, well, we didn't.
Legacy Box knew this was not only a problem for us.
They said, hey, we can help these people save memories from back in the day
and make it modern, and that's what Legacy Box is.
And we became the family hero.
Bring back lost memories to watch and see again.
That's right.
Remember pictures from when you're a child that you can't find anymore?
Boom.
Legacy Box can make that happen.
So send your Legacy Box filled with old home movies and pictures.
They'll do the rest.

I got a score of 100.
Right here, it didn't say.
Usually, I'm DNR.
But I'm happy you guys R'd me. usually dnr do not resuscitate but we we are him we already
thank you good for us now we go to an interview withdog story but an incredible human being the check down
released a video yesterday on instagram talking about all the things he was potentially gonna do
he was gonna get into dental sales or something like that he paid 250 to get to a regional combine
which i honestly thought was just a hustle.
And what has he done since then?
He's went on to be a two-time Pro Bowler.
And this past weekend in the Bahamas, I watched him hit a three-wood 400 yards.
Ladies and gentlemen, wide receiver of the Minnesota Vikings, Adam Thielen.
What's up? What's up?
Hey, so thankful that you're joining us, brother.
How are you feeling after the weekend?
I see the championship belt right over your left shoulder.
How are you feeling right now?
Oh, I feel great.
You know, obviously coming off of a big W.
Unfortunately, we tied as teammates, which is not fun.
It wasn't a loss.
I did not lose the entire weekend, which is great.
You didn't?
You didn't?
No.
Two ties and a win.
Oh, so I had one win, a tie, and a loss.
You Scotty Pippen beat the living dog shit out of me.
How'd you do in match play on Sunday?
Who'd you play against?
Played Ray Allen, which he was just dropping buckets.
Did you tie him?
You tied him then?
Tied him.
Hey, that's not bad, though.
That's better than what happened with me and Scottie Pippen.
He was dropping buckets as well.
He actually holed out from 195 yards, but that's either here or there.
Thielen, let's talk about the way you hit a golf ball.
You played in high school, is that correct?
I did, yes. So does that just mean that you can hit a three wood 400 yards like how does that
even happen what happens out there i don't know i've always uh i've always hit the ball a long
ways and i was always kind of the strength of my game but um it's probably a little i let my anger
out a little bit on the golf course so uh just get after the ball you do have children now
i saw action asher and the other one around uh your beautiful family was there you're becoming
this full-blown adult you're a superstar football player was there ever any doubt in your mind that
this is how it was going to all end up i guess i never really thought about it i just uh showed up
and tried to try to make the most of it
every day. Obviously, with the family now, it's a lot of fun. I'm very fortunate that they get to
see me play because when we first started having kids, I didn't know if they'd see me play because
I didn't know how long this would take me. Every year is a blessing to see. Obviously,
with Asher now being two and a half and being able to run around and see dad play it's pretty cool the vikings had quite an undertaking here in the
last couple years you got a whole new quarterback whole new coach they got this white wide receiver
that's very crafty i feel as if the vikings are a fun team to be around right now am i correct
yeah you know it actually was a was a great otas obviously we were in the same position last year and it didn't turn out so good so um but no we're very
excited about the season obviously coming off a year that you have all that potential and you
missed the playoffs uh you're just excited to get back out there and play again so i think that's
kind of how this whole team is just ready to get out and play some games and hopefully start kicking
some butt you told me i would like Kirk Cousins.
I assumed that I wouldn't.
From all the things that I've seen from him,
I don't think Kirk Cousins lets a lot of himself out there.
Kirk Cousins is a pretty guarded individual, I feel,
but the only things that really get out,
they're not really things that I'd be like,
oh yeah, that's a guy that I would like.
You told me that I would like Kirk Cousins
and that you've enjoyed him being a teammate very much.
Am I correct?
Yeah, I think you actually would.
Like you said, from what you hear about him or whatever,
you might not think that you'd get along,
but he's extremely witty.
He's fun to be around.
He's got some good – he always likes to have a good time.
So I think you guys would get along really well.
You know, maybe not the F-bombs and things like that,
but that's all right.
I mean,
that came out of nowhere, didn't it?
I thought we were going to have a good time there.
Are you a clean-speaking human?
I don't think I've heard you swear one time,
even whenever,
I mean, you almost killed a kid on the opening tee. I don't think, are heard you swear one time, even whenever – I mean, you almost killed a kid on the opening tee.
I don't think – are you – how do you – is that correct?
How do I what?
How do you not swear one time?
Yeah, I definitely try not to.
It's been something I've really worked on, especially with young kids.
So definitely try to keep it clean.
Even on the football field?
It slips out a little bit, but definitely try try not to i've actually been pretty good i think last year um i i didn't swear
too much so even when we when belichick and i got a little exchange i don't think i swore once so
thank you for bringing thank you for bringing that up i was going to chat about that i would
assume that belichick would love you i i in head, but you two kind of got into it right there.
What happened? What was that?
That was a moment that the Internet loved, which I know you love the Internet.
The Internet absolutely loved that moment.
Yeah, it was interesting.
Obviously, it's just in the heat of the moment.
Two competitive people going at it,
but I thought it was a little messed up, the situation.
It was a close play.
They give us the first down, and, you know, a guy goes down acting like he's hurt.
I don't know.
Maybe he was hurt.
Maybe he wasn't.
But it seemed like he was acting like he was hurt to give them time to see the play
and be able to challenge it.
So I thought it was a little BS and kind of let them know what I thought about it, I guess.
Are you chatty on the field normally?
I am, yeah, yeah, for sure.
I mean, those competitive spirits get flowing,
and sometimes I get a little chatty, but it's mostly fun,
and it's all good.
If you don't swear, I don't know how you get –
honestly, I have no idea.
I don't think I've ever encountered a human.
What do you say?
Yeah, I don't think that i'm probably the best
smack talker because i don't swear uh but uh uh you know it's only really if somebody comes at me
then i'll i'll come at them but uh mostly it you know i hope that i whoop them up pretty good so
i can tell them how bad i beat them in the last play what is your strategy what how would not
strategy how would you describe your style of play? Well, very crafty.
Not crafty whatsoever, just very crafty.
I asked him about being a Caucasian wide receiver,
and obviously he has heard the gamut of white athletes.
You know, lunch pail guy, first in, last out, high IQ,
coach's son, all those things.
And he was just described as crafty by people.
He wasn't described as athletic at all, just crafty.
Is that something you put as a chip on your shoulder, though?
Yeah, a little bit.
I mean, I enjoy when people say that about me because, you know, I think the tape speaks for itself.
I mean, go watch some tape and you see.
You're not going to see just a guy that's crafty and does the little things to get open.
I would think that, you know, my movement and ability and my body control and things like that would somehow say that I'm athletic.
But maybe not.
Who knows?
Your explosion on a golf ball, think is pretty athletic i think people will see that
july 20 something whenever it's on tv which i'm hoping they edit out some scotty pippin parts
um that regional combine is so interesting to me i thought it was all just a big hustle how did you
slip through the cracks so bad that you ended up having to pay $250 to get yourself in front of some scouts.
Yeah, there's actually a lot of crazy stories kind of along the way that kind of led to that.
But, you know, one of them was Viking Scout called Mankato and said, hey, you got any
guys this year?
I'd love to come, you know, test them out.
You know, it's like a junior day or whatever.
And the coaches just said, no, we don't have anybody.
That was one way to slip through the
crack you know so um and then uh and then yeah kind of when i was done you know the coaches
were like yeah you know maybe you know that'd be fun to see you in the cfl or arena league or
something you know and uh so i was like well i'm hoping a little higher for higher than that but
um so i just was like i'm gonna i gotta try something to show that I can run a good 40
because I knew I could run routes.
I knew I could catch the football.
But I think everybody's question was, can I run?
And, you know, I wanted to prove that I could.
And so I went to the regional combat, like you said, paid $250, whatever it was,
and drove to Chicago.
And when I get there, there get in the building and they
had like I mean I was like are you serious right now like there's like 20 guys maybe that never
played football in their life the quarterback's like 40 years old like can't throw 10 yards
they actually told them to go home like after like two throws because they couldn't even throw it so
it was definitely interesting but then there's a handful of guys that were good athletes
and played Division I or
what have you. So it ended up
turning out to be okay. What did you run
there? I ran a 4-4-5.
Hilarious. Was it
like Vince Mapali in that Invincible
whenever he ran the tryout?
Everybody checks their watches a bunch of times.
Was there quite a little pop?
Well, that's the funny thing about the regional combine is there's zero scouts there like not one so it was just like ran by this
like you know this regional combine whatever committee or whatever it was and there's zero
scouts there so i ran it and it was like you know whatever this write it down and then they post it
in and you're like you know your online profile and then and then i got the in your online profile.
And then I got the call to go to the Super Regional because of what I did at that one.
And then that one there was actually scouts at.
But it was a little interesting running.
And when I got there, that was another thing.
I was like, well, there's no scouts here, so this is kind of weird.
Like, what's the point of it?
But like I said, it ended up working out.
Jeez, what a racket, dude.
but like i said end up working out jeez what a racket dude you got 250 bucks to potentially possibly end up in front of some scouts at one point in your life then you get there you run
i assume did you run the same four fourth the next thing or did they just take your time from
the first one no they i so i actually after that one there was like you know all the scouts were
lined up and timing everything and then um after that a, there was like, you know, all the scouts were lined up and timing and everything.
And then,
um,
after that,
a couple of teams that pulled me to the side and one,
one said,
I ran a four,
four,
five,
one said four,
four,
nine.
Um,
and,
uh,
so,
so then I talked to them after and they asked for my information to get
film and things like that.
That's awesome.
What a fucking story.
You're sorry.
What a story.
That is such a good story,
especially for a guy like you, who is, you know, just does everything the right way.
The family was incredible. The way you acted this weekend was awesome. And then you end up being a
part of one of the biggest moments in the history of the NFL with the Minneapolis miracle there.
How is that evening quantified in your life life if you were to describe the reaction to the
locker room after that how would you describe it i mean everybody was just in shock um you know
no one really knew what happened or how it happened or what um it was just a lot of like
hugging and no words because no one knew what to say it was just so unbelievable but uh i mean i
even even on the field it's like you're
looking around like is there flags like what's going on do we kick a field goal like everybody
had gone to the locker room we had to come back out and like kick a field goal like every all the
fans stayed for like hours after because no one knew like what was going on like it was just it
was like one of the most like like one of the craziest moments just because no one really knew what was going on
or how it happened or what was going on.
In the huddle before that play is called, as much as you can remember,
I'm sure it's pretty deep back there, but you don't just slam alcohol like I do,
so your brain probably operates a little bit better.
In the huddle before that play, is there really any thought at all
that there's a chance to score a
touchdown here i mean because even the way the play was drawn up you shouldn't have scored a
touchdown like it was a a blatant whiff is there optimism in there or is it just like a hey we
might have to hook and ladder annexation of puerto rico this thing if the ball gets out
well really there was no thought of touchdown we weren't even thinking touchdown we were just trying to get catch the ball get out of bounds and have a chance for a field goal
so really a lot of us actually thought you know wow we're actually in a really good position
uh to get a field goal or to get an opportunity at a field goal and so um you know in the huddle
case just said hey i'm gonna give somebody a chance here and you know called the play
seven heaven and and away we went seven
heaven is that heaven that's the name of the call that was the name of the play yeah jesus himself
jesus himself came down from the heavens um what is what is the vikings going to be known for this
upcoming what are the vikings going to be known for this upcoming season?
Well, I think we're going to play really good defense,
and then I think our offense is going to be explosive.
I think with our new system, with our play caller and the guys we have,
I think we can do a lot of things.
I think we're going to be able to spread the ball around.
We're going to be able to run the football
and be able to do play action off of that. So it should be really exciting to watch, and it's going to be really fun to be able to spread the ball around um we're going to be able to run the football and be able to do play action off of that so it should be really exciting to watch and and it's going to
be really fun to be part of i mean even ota's minicamp it was it was fun to be part of this
offense because there's so many guys that can make plays and and with this system it allows you to do
that so that's exciting as the belt drops don't drop the belt man that's a heavy belt by the way like like trying to get that in a
suitcase on the way home was not not good yeah that's why i just wore it you know i just wore
it through the whole through the entire airport i went through tsa with this thing said it was
hold up my pants customs the whole goddamn thing i mean it was pretty awesome yeah it was pretty
it was pretty fun to be behind you in the line and watch that go down.
Just watch that go down.
What a scene.
I've got a couple of boys in here that are going to have a question for you for sure.
I appreciate you so much for joining us, Thielen.
For sure.
Adam, you were Special Teams Player of the Year.
A little fun fact.
Let's go.
Could you imagine being a gunner for the Pat McAfee? Now we're talking, Thielen.
Oh my gosh. How about that?
Well, I was actually PP, so even better. Oh, I didn't even know. Oh, it's wide open.
Straight to the ball. Head to the ball. Yeah, it was
awesome. It was like the third gunner and I got to
talk to the punter a little bit.
So that's why we had such a great connection
in the Bahamas.
I wish we would have got that win, too.
I mean, we were very close to getting a loss, too, by the way.
Chris Paul helped us out a lot there at the end.
I hope they didn't get any film of that because our putting was atrocious.
I told the boys here, that was the slowest greens I've ever been on in my life.
I don't golf at nice golf courses.
That's not my thing, but those greens were the
slowest greens of all time. It's hard to get a good read on
a slow green. Yeah, they were slow
and they were sticky. It was
different than I've ever played
on. Me too.
You play a
lot of golf, right? I do, yes.
Like daily? Is it a daily thing?
No, I mean, with a young
family, I don't play that as much as I'd like to.
But, you know, try to get out a couple times.
Well, maybe like 10 times a summer.
Then obviously living in Minnesota, we don't play in the winter.
So I don't play as much as I'd like to.
But I've been playing for a long time.
So I love the game of golf.
Have you ever heard of Minnetonka Miracle?
Nope.
Look it up sometime.
There was a guy that was ice fishing out there On Lake Minnetonka
He was there for five hours
Five hours
He was in one of them little cabins
Out in the middle of the lake
Could have died at any given moment
The shitter on the outside
Didn't even have a roof over her head
No it didn't
It was a rough scene out there
There was a bunch of little holes
There was about six people fishing
Five of them caught numerous fish One man Ref refused to catch a fish out of the thing
until the last cast the last drop in there he pulled out the big well i just dropped it in
i was there for five hours caught zero fish until the last drop and i literally pulled a swordfish
out of there biggest fish biggest fish that lake's ever seen it was awesome that's incredible do you uh do you
want to go through the hole what's that how'd you get it through the hole the fish yeah well i mean
it made a new hole you had like a big stick hole you know what i mean do you like do ice fish uh
not really no i've done it i've done it a bunch of my past but it's not my favorite thing to do You know what I mean? Do you ice fish? Not really, no.
I've done it a bunch in my past, but it's not my favorite thing to do.
Where are you from originally?
Northern Minnesota, Detroit Lakes.
That's why he doesn't swear.
He's just a nice guy.
Good old guy.
Just a nice Minnesota guy.
Just a super good old Minnesota guy.
Good.
All right.
When you talk about great Minnesota receivers, when it's all said and done, you talk about Chris Carter, Randy Moss, Adam Thielen.
Will it end Adam Thielen, Randy Moss, Chris Carter,
or will it end Adam Thielen, Chris Carter, Randy Moss,
when it's all said and done as far as great Minnesota receivers?
And your similarities with those two guys are?
Now we're talking.
Well, I'm not even in the same ballpark as those guys.
Those are the guys that made me want to play football.
Those are the guys that made me want to play receiver.
Wait, wait, wait.
I watched them in the Pro Bowl, Adam, and I watched you in the Pro Bowl, Adam.
Well, it's funny.
I look at, you know, in our receiver meeting room,
it's actually our offense meeting room too.
They have, like, all the receivers that have gone to a Pro Bowl
or All-Pro up on the wall.
And so I look at those guys.
I think Chris Carter went like eight or nine times.
And so I think he's got a few on me, which is pretty incredible.
And like six All-Pros.
Randy's got like five or six All-Pros.
So those guys are pretty incredible.
All-Pro only means the media voted you in.
The media are the same people that don't think you're athletic. So don't expect a lot of those. The Pro Bowl, though, is one that matters. It's your boys voting you in. I mean, granted, the fans have a vote. I think refs should have a vote. But I think the Pro Bowl means a lot more than the all pro personally, because all pro means media. That means the media has selected it, which they can be a bit judgmental at times. But you have a record.
I mean, you're the only guy to have eight straight 100-yard games to start a season.
Randy and Chris didn't do that.
That's something to think about.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
Those guys, I've met them both, which was really cool for me, obviously,
growing up watching them.
It was fun to talk with them about ball.
Randy didn't want to interview me.
It was supposed to be an interview for ESPN, and he didn't even want to interview me. He just wanted to talk ball. He just wanted to talk about them about ball. Randy didn't want to interview me. It was supposed to be an interview for ESPN and he didn't even want to interview me. He just wanted to talk ball. He just wanted to
talk about all that. So that was kind of fun for me. I was like, all right, let's keep talking.
How is the fraternity of wide receivers accepted you? Because you really turned some heads out of
nowhere. And Randy, I mean, OG of the wide receiver brotherhood. I mean, they have to be
big fans of the way you operate out there.
Yeah, you know, I've gotten a lot of really good feedback and met a lot of guys.
Obviously hung out with Heinz Ward this weekend, which was fun,
and played golf with him before.
So it's fun to talk to those guys and pick their brains about what they did
to be successful.
Heinz Ward, Donner, Shelson.
Well, those guys also aren't as crafty as you are.
They are nothing about it.
When you're athletic, you don't have to be crafty.
They are nothing about it.
Just what a shot fighter
you are. This guy, you put
a basketball in his hand, you think he's about
an 8th grader. I mean, he's got no athleticism.
Somehow finds a way to
get open and make incredible catches on a regular
basis. What a crafty dude.
Adam,
you seem like a guy that appreciates the lighter side of things.
So who's your guy in the locker room?
Makes everybody laugh.
Who's your McAfee of the locker room?
If you will.
Now we're talking.
Oh,
now that's like hall of fame status.
So we,
no one can compare to that.
Hey,
Dylan,
I wish we were teammates,
bro.
Hey,
every day I brought it to,
I just want to let you know that that was something I took a lot of pride in.
My wife and I left the dinner table that night just talking about how funny you were.
Because we all know you have a big head.
Listen, it's hard being this awesome all the time, but somehow I pull it off.
No, Thielen, they wanted me to get – what was that, like a 45-piece band that came through that dinner just out of nowhere.
And it was like a 20, maybe 20 yards by 60 yards little husk we were in.
And a 45-person band playing instruments that I heard.
That was louder than U.S. Bank Stadium after the Minneapolis.
And we didn't have food yet.
Everybody was there just for the food.
And this band comes in, does an entire, it was a very nice performance.
It was very nice.
But they were about three feet away from our faces with these horns.
And it was just so loud.
And there was a lot of people in there that wanted me to go get into the line.
I'm like, I'm not culturally appropriating Bahamas right now.
They came in with their full flamingo peacock costumes.
It was awesome, but loud.
Very, very loud.
Great dinner with them.
Don't forget about the avocado soup, though.
I don't think I had that.
The salt?
No, you did.
It was the bread that you dipped in salt.
Oh, yeah.
I thought it was a flavor.
I thought you were supposed to.
So they had like this bread, and then it was an avocado dipping sauce.
And then there was salt there.
So I thought it was like a Pop Rocks situation.
Where you like, you know, where you dip it into the thing,
and then put it into the thing, and then eat it.
And I dipped it in the avocado sauce, a piece of bread.
And then I dipped it in the salt.
And that was the saltiest salt I've ever had.
I was vomiting.
You remember that?
I was vomiting. And then at the that? and they gave me this red wine
which I'm not a wine drinker
that's the only drink I had
so I had to back it up with something I hate
I almost vomited right on Thielen and his wife
it was a bad scene right there after being called champion
Hey Mr. Thielen
quick question here for you
what was your favorite quarterback playing with
all these years for the Vikings?
Kirk Cousins is his favorite.
If you had to keep him out of it, though.
Oh, not Kirk.
Not present quarterback, obviously.
Smart.
Interesting.
Yeah, that's good.
That's good.
Well, Case was obviously fun.
You know, when you have a quarterback that can scramble the way he does
and make plays with his feet and then still have his eyes downfield
and be able to throw it was a lot of fun.
I mean, they all kind of had their positives that you love to play with.
I mean, Sam Bradford, I've never seen a guy throw a deep ball like he does.
Really?
Literally, he would catch it for me on deep balls
because he'd get it up and down so quickly and he was so accurate.
It was incredible.
Did you ever play him in ping pong?
No, but I played him in golf and he's ridiculous.
Did you beat him or lose?
No, it's no problem for him.
He has the best personality for golf.
He's just even-keeled, doesn't have any emotion, good or bad.
He just dominates.
He's Scottie Piven, Jim?
He's Scottie Piven, Jim.
Does he wear really big sleeves in golf, too?
Yes.
We call him Sammy Two Sleeves.
Well, Thielen, hold on.
Foxy's got one for you.
Mr. Thielen, after spending a weekend with Pat McAfee,
do you think the NFL should invite him back to the baja mar open
oh no doubt he's uh you think that's gonna happen oh for sure and and not only will they i do i
think they should invite you but we haven't even talked about this yet but i think you should get
up there on the mic instead of that other guy oh i've tried to get through this whole thing without even talking
about that because because this guy i'm not gonna name names no names but this guy was my wife and
i's favorite before we met you oh well i'm happy i could take that fucking guy's spot
because he's pretty creative and he's pretty funny. But then you basically explained to me that he's not that great.
This guy, he was a musician.
He was a very talented guy, very talented guy.
There was a line and he crossed it with me.
You know what I mean?
There was a line and he just jumped right over with me.
And once you do that, you're gone forever in my head.
You're completely gone forever in my head.
And that happened on night one.
And then, lo and behold, a couple days later during the skills challenge,
he's about a foot and a half away from me doing the same fucking thing.
And I had a club in my hand.
Almost had to hit him with it.
Almost had to hit him with it.
The best part about it is he did the same thing to J.R. Smith a couple years back.
Right after J.R. in the finals.
You know, the whole deal.
And he called him out pretty good.
It was a little awkward for everybody.
Hey, what did Aaron tell you?
Hey, I'm going to kill him with indifference, bro.
Hey, you were at that table whenever he said that.
I didn't know what that word meant.
So when he said it to me, I laughed.
And I was like, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Kill him with indifference, bro.
Kill him with indifference.
Yeah, that was good.
I enjoyed that. I enjoyed that. Hey, yeah, absolutely. Kill him with indifference, bro. Kill him with indifference. Yeah, that was good. I enjoyed that.
I enjoyed that.
Hey, he's, I talked about this a lot.
Everybody was so nice.
I did not expect it.
Everybody was so kind, even from the MBAP, the staff, everybody.
You're talking about the people from Bleacher Report.
There's a guy named Meech in there who's awesome.
I mean, you're talking about literally everybody was so nice.
I did not expect.
Is that how it is every year?
Yeah, that's a really cool thing.
I mean, even, you know, playing Lake Tahoe at the Celebrity Golf Tournament there.
And it's all, you know, former basketball players, baseball players, you know, MVPs.
You know, you have guys that are multi-time all-stars or pro bowlers, things like that.
And everyone is just awesome.
And it's super fun to get around other athletes that, you know, were the best at their sport and learn from them, ask them questions,
ask them stories.
And it's always a good time.
So that's why we love going to those things and love coming back
because you meet some great people.
I never would have met you if we didn't go.
I'm honored.
I am honored to say that I have met Adam Thielen,
watched him hit a three-wood 400 yards, have you on my show.
You're an absolute legend and a gentleman.
Your family was beautiful and nice.
I hope nothing but success for you forever, my friend.
Good luck to you and the Vikings this year.
Ladies and gentlemen, about to be a three-time Pro Bowler, who gives a damn about all pros incredible golfer adam crafty
thanks guys i appreciate it hey thank you so much for taking time out of your day with us man
for sure you're the man you're the man keep in touch bro cheers all right talk to you guys yep
all right that's the end of the show big thanks thanks to Adam Thielen. Hit him up on the internet.
He thinks the internet is a mean place.
He actually said that to me.
I was like, no, no, Thielen.
The internet's a good place,
especially to good people like yourself.
Go ahead and tweet him at athelen19, I think.
Is that right?
That's Instagram for sure.
It's Instagram.
Go ahead and let him know
that we appreciate the hell out of him coming on the show.
He was great.
Big thanks to everybody at the Bahamar.
Aaron Rodgers, Chris Paul put on a
hell of an event. CAA, all
the people that covered it. I'm so thankful and grateful
for everything that you did for us. It was so nice.
We can't wait to go back next year since Thielen told
me I was going to be invited.
I don't know if he has any pull
either. He can hit the shit out
of a golf ball. So if they want to keep him happy,
which I think they should, they'd probably bring me back.
Aaron Rodgers is a man's man. He's a lad
of the lads, as they say overseas.
So is everybody else we met this weekend.
Why don't you send us some tweets?
I'm going to be on vacation. The boys are going to be doing
stuff. I would love to be entertained
via some tweets. Make me laugh.
Send you some merch.
It's easy as that. You make me laugh.
I'll send you some merch. That's easy as that. Easy as that. You make me laugh, I'll send you some merch.
That's fair.
That is fair.
I feel like I'm known as a pretty fair guy.
You spend all this time making them laugh.
Not all the time.
Every now and then.
Fair is fair.
I'll take some hacks.
Make me laugh.
I'm 333.
You know what I mean?
On base percentage.
Get you in the hall of fame then.
Forever.
Still haven't been asked to join.
Send me a tweet and make me laugh.
Make me laugh, I'll send you some merch.
If I don't see it, that's on you
and not on me. Be persistent.
I'm not always going to have the internet where I'm going.
But not too persistent. No, it's cool.
On my Twitter you can be pretty persistent. I don't care.
I like to see that timeline active. I like to see those notifications
popping. Anybody that has notifications
to order a phone?
Probably Zero Color.
Stay away from them. Find a guest.
You know what I mean?
Gumby, it's been awesome having you.
A few more days. I leave on Thursday,
but I guess it's your last day. Yeah, you don't
have to send me again.
It's been a good ride this time, man.
I honestly, this time
I really feel like I'm a part of the team, man.
It's been awesome.
You are, bud.
You need to know that you are.
We can't give you a salary, at least publicly.
We can't say we're going to pay you anything due to the whole immigration thing.
But we're going to get this figured out.
We're going to get to the bottom of this.
Because I think our guy Vino, I think Vino can get you into not only any country you want.
I think he can make you a citizen.
I think we're going to make that happen.
Toss a couple loonies your way.
Maybe a couple toonies.
Wow.
Get you in town.
That was a good Canada drop, huh?
Loonies and toonies are singles and doubles up there in Canada.
Religion and now talking about Canada.
We do it all on this podcast.
Yeah, we do.
Award winning, by the way.
We won an award.
I didn't want to promote it because I think awards are a joke.
But just like I kind of went after the all pro thing there with Thielen.
It's all kind of a joke.
But we won an award.
Hashtag sports awards.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, we won best sports podcast.
Good.
Hashtag yay.
Congratulations.
Congratulations to us, man.
Congratulations to you that listened.
You're the only reason why we won.
Because if nobody listened, we wouldn't do this.
So think about that.
Part of my take always had award-winning listeners, you know?
And I always love their joke about that, you know?
Because it's a real thing, though.
People that choose to listen to us are very select.
I mean, I learned a lot more important people listen to this show. Every time I travel somewhere, I learn that there's a lot of important people that listen to listen to us are very select i mean i learned a lot more important people listen to this show every time i travel somewhere i learned that there's a lot
of important people that listen to the show too and i appreciate you guys uh because you're risking
your career listening to this getting dumb dumb dumb but anybody listens to show i am so so
thankful for you you don't have to listen you choose to listen and for that we're grateful

Let's fucking live a little, huh, boys?
Ty Schmidt, hit the music. I've had a large mouth, fast bus, my line, a couple beautiful girls tell me goodbye
Trucks break down, dogs run off, politicians lie, been fired by the boss
It takes one hand to count the things I can count on No, there ain't much, man, that ain't ever let me down
Long neck, eyes cold, beard never broke my heart
Like diamond rings and football teams have torn this boy apart
Like a neon dream, it just don't know me
The bars in this guitar
And long neck eyes, cold beard
Never broke my heart
She was a carol out of blue jean, baby
Fire in her eyes, that drove me crazy
It was red tail lights when she left town, if I didn't know then I sure know now
But long neck, eyes cold, beard never broke my heart
Like a diamond ring, the football teams have torn this boy apart
Like a neon dream, it just dawned on me that bars and this guitar
And long neck, eyes, cold beard never broke my heart It takes one hand to count the things I can count on
But I got one hand that's gripping down on the cold one On a cold run Cause long neck ice cold beer
Never broke my heart
Like diving rings
That football teams
Have torn this boy apart
Like a neon dream
It just dawned on me
That bars and this guitar
And long neck eyes
Cold beer never broke my heart
No, it never broke my heart Thanks for watching!
