Today is Wednesday, July 13th,
and I want to ask you guys a simple question.
I'll give you a simple answer.
Did you add to your legacy today?
I did add to my legacy.
You know how?
How?
Because I'm on part of my take.
That's the easiest way to add to anybody's legacy
is by going on the popular sports podcast,
part of my take.
Why do you ask Big Cat?
That's because Kevin Durant asked everyone on Twitter today,
did you add to your legacy today?
If so, what did you do?
And I would agree.
If you come on part of my take,
you've added to your legacy.
Boom, just like that.
Legacy complete.
Jake, have you added to your legacy today?
I believe I did.
How?
You'll have to see on the next episode of PMTV.
Oh, because you played tennis
and you might have beaten us.
It's like love.
Oh, six love.
Give me a break.
Speak English.
Hank, did you add to your legacy?
Let me answer that question for you.
You did.
Because we're here out in the Hamptons,
getting ready for the Barstool mini golf tournament.
And Hank, the only competitor in the entire field of 50,
came out a day early and tested the mini golf course
because you got to test the course if you're Hank.
It's called the location scout.
No, Hank's defense, he's being a good producer.
He needs to know the reads of all the greens.
He needs to know exactly where their hazards are.
He needs to talk to the head greenskeeper.
We needed to know how long.
He's like a fifth generation greenskeeper at this.
He knows every nook and cranny.
This is, you know what?
We're playing a Hank's home course tomorrow.
Oh, there's a lot of people involved.
There's a lot of people's valuable time.
We're trying to map out and get things.
I know people think Barstools is a shit show.
We're actually pretty organized.
But the one X factor was how long does a round take?
So I volunteered, came here early because we are coming here.
Anyway, left a little bit early.
Came with three other guys.
Two hours early.
Shout out to Liam, Memes and Evan.
Wait, are Liam Memes and Evan playing in the tournament tomorrow?
No, but we needed four people to simulate.
Oh, okay.
One of them could have played twice.
Yeah, one of them could have played twice.
Or you could have just been like three people
as pretty close to four people,
tack on maybe 10, 15 minutes.
But that's not, I just care about it.
You care about it so much that you had to play the course
before the tournament was actually played
No one else has played.
The course is open all day.
Listen, if you wanted to come, you could have gone and played.
We're hard on Hank.
It's usually tough love.
I'm going to take his side on this one.
Thank you.
Because it makes sense for you to come out,
check out the course,
because you're in charge of filming this entire thing tomorrow.
That's true.
You're going to be producing head producer of all of it.
So you need to know every single thing about this course
to make sure the production goes over smoothly.
Right?
You're not competing.
You're not competing.
I don't have to compete.
I was asked.
Interesting.
Oh, by who? You?
No.
Okay.
So you added to your legacy today by making sure that you scouted
scouted the mini golf tournament before we got there.
Preparation is everything.
Do you think Kevin Durant might be a little bothered
that he's now tweeting?
What did you do to add to your legacy today?
He's the legacy king right now.
I don't think we even have enough.
We don't have as much conversation about LeBron James' legacy
as we do about Kevin Durant's,
because he's done the super team thing where he's hopped around.
He's joined existing teams at one championship.
So it's easy to be like, what's up with your legacy?
I think Kevin Durant is just sick of the word legacy.
I think we need to find a new word for legacy.
Yeah.
You know what?
Maybe he's also a listener of this show,
because I think on Monday's show,
we did say that if he went to the Thunder,
he would add to his legacy.
Yeah.
So maybe he's just listening to us.
We're bringing back legacy games.
We didn't do that this NBA postseason.
We did a little bit.
Yeah, we stepped into many legacy games.
There was more so last.
The Scott Foster legacy series.
Chris Paul had major, major legacy postseason.
He had like 10 points in that game seven where they lost by 70.
That was a legacy game.
Yeah.
There was a lot of legacy games.
Pat Beverly winning that playing game.
Legacy game.
Legacy game for Pat Bev, obviously.
I think it's actually, it's easier to track from a legacy
than it is to add to a legacy.
It's super hard to add to a legacy.
And we're at the point of the sports calendar year.
We're actually discussing this off there.
Like, I don't think we've had a summer month,
like this next month and a half in like three years,
because we had COVID and then we had everything pile up
and we had like playoffs in the middle of the summer.
Last year NBA playoffs went till mid July.
This is the first time we've had to deal with basically nothing
in the middle of the summer.
So we're talking legacies.
Sex as much the women's Euro tournament.
That's true.
That's true.
I've been tuning in.
Not that wasn't like it.
I just soccer like I didn't watch tennis either.
So it could have been the men's euros.
Yeah, it could have been.
Yes, correct.
I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have,
I almost bet on one of the games.
As long as I can say is England in it,
because I'll do the British memes and it's coming home.
Sure.
That's as far as I'll get into it.
Euro, yeah, right.
So we have that with soccer.
We have people getting mad about Albert Poole
being in the home run derby,
which is a crock of shit,
but I'm also at the point in my life where I,
because he fucking sucks.
He can't even walk.
Albert Poole.
He can't even walk.
You don't need to walk.
He shouldn't be in the hall.
He shouldn't be in the all-star game.
He made the all-star game.
I'm just concerned that he's going to mess up his swing
for the second half of the season.
Oh, wouldn't that be a shame?
Him and Yachty doing their little swan song together.
And Albert Poole,
he's taking a spot away from someone who could,
was Christian Yelich in the home run derby?
I don't think so.
I don't think he's hit enough dingers.
Wow.
Well, there is no,
there's no rule about how many dingers you have to hit,
because Albert Poole has to sit in it.
Right.
Maybe he did take that spot away from Christian Yelich,
in which case I fully support Albert Poole.
You're not going to like this.
Albert Poole's and Miguel Cabrera,
where all-star game roster adds
due to the commissioner selections.
Wow.
MLB rigged.
I'm okay with the Miggy one.
He deserves it.
He's a legend.
Albert Poole, let's get out of here.
I do think there's a pretty good chance that,
where's the all-star game being played?
LA.
LA.
They might rig it for Albert Poole.
He might get the good balls.
Yeah.
He's definitely,
I actually, you know what?
I'm not even mad because I want to see him
just so gas that he can't even breathe
by like the end of the first round.
That will be worth it right there.
He might hurt himself.
Yeah.
Like the home run derby,
well, he's probably just going to take 10 swings.
Yeah, he's probably going to get paid
like $300 million, go to the Angels
and do nothing.
Yeah.
How many home runs does Albert Poole
see even half?
I believe tonight he hit six.
Six?
Six?
16?
What are we, five games in the season?
Six?
He has six home runs?
He's on pace for 12.
This makes me sick.
So I guess I am mad.
So I guess I am mad.
There we go.
It's going to be,
he did a great swing.
I mean, he wasn't going to win with five.
How's he going to win?
He's in practice.
He's hit six home runs this year.
I think he's going to be able,
I think he's, I'm going to take a fly on him.
Yeah.
So we're in, we're in this,
we're in the dog days of summer.
Every time that we talk about
how there are no sports on the summer,
we always forget baseball.
Unless it's like a stupid controversy
about the all-star game.
Well, I did forget that the Orioles
were playing the Cubs this week
because on Sunday I made a bet
on the Orioles to win the AL at 400 to one.
And yeah.
You bet it gets yourself.
Yeah.
Well, I didn't realize they were playing
the Cubs this week.
I was like, oh, fuck.
No, but that's, the Cubs suck.
So that's actually smart.
That is true.
The Cubs do suck.
Alvarpool's got a curtain call
for a six home run.
Oh, great, great.
For a six home run tonight.
Makes me sick.
All right.
This is Coach K all over again.
That's what it is.
Yeah, it is.
But yeah, we don't,
there's not like, this is the dog,
true dog days of summer.
We're going to create great content.
We have a great interview with Joey Chestnut.
We also have a Pardon My Bake,
which we haven't done in forever.
But the one thing that did happen today
was Adam Schefter had a glowing,
maybe not so much story written about him
in the Washington Post that gave us
some insights into the mind of Adam Schefter,
which I mean, I think we all knew it.
I love that everyone is always shocked
when they find out more details about Adam Schefter.
And it's like, dude, what did you think?
What are they?
What are they shocked about?
So all right.
Well, so the article started out,
I'll do a couple of readings of some moments.
I did like this part.
It started out saying Adam Schefter
did not want to be photographed.
He was in the parking lot of an upscale steakhouse vampire
in a leafy Long Island suburb near where he lives
to talk to a reporter about his job
at ESPN's preeminent NFL Insider.
A photographer had tagged along,
but Schefter was skeptical.
I was at a charity event and they took my picture.
He said, it's like I was trying to do a good thing.
Now the picture shows up everywhere when I screw up.
I have no idea what this picture is.
We got to find it.
This sounds like he was like pictured with Glane Maxwell.
Yeah, right.
He's not doing that again.
Schefter had checked the flight logs.
I learned my lesson.
And then it says, this is a great dig.
Schefter is shorter than he appears on TV.
That's fucked up.
But his brawny frame filled out his tailored blue suit.
That's completely unnecessary.
I'm going to stand up for Adam Schefter.
I think he's exactly as short as he appears on TV
because he does look shorter on TV.
I don't think anyone's shocked.
We've seen him standing next to Steve Young, Louis Fredrick.
We've seen him all over television all the time.
Like he's short next to Dan Orlowski.
Yeah, no one's surprised.
I get it.
He's the same height as Laura Rutledge.
Yeah, so I did like though.
They gave him brawny.
If you're short, at least you can get brawny.
I don't understand that comment about him either.
I can't picture Adam Schefter on like a paper towel packaging.
Well, he works out daily.
He says a peloton and a push-up regimen
that helps give him stamina to be up before dawn
and just stay up on the news all day.
He's got good shoulders.
That's the thing I'll give him.
He has decent shoulders.
All right, so here's the things that our people are mad about.
Schefter, meanwhile, maintains there's a personal touch to the work.
He remembers the whys and children's of his sources.
And Schefter has...
Wow, imagine if Zach Wilson gets ahold of Schefter's phone.
Look out, fuck.
And Schefter has grown famous among some in the NFL orbit
for his holiday gifts.
He has a list of 150 recipients who receive, depending on the year,
vineyard vines, ties, scotch, chocolate, or ice cream.
They go mostly to sources, but also some to ESPN co-workers and others.
One year, he spent $16,000 on chocolate.
I have relationships with people.
Schefter said it's not all transactional.
The gifts he added are a business expense that he writes off on his taxes.
I love it.
This is also like that is transactional.
You're buying things for people.
So I'm not shocked by that at all.
Nobody should be shocked about it.
No.
Like Adam Schefter's job is to just get information before other people have it.
He's not like a journalist that's digging into like the missteps of the league.
In fact, he's more of like a PR person sometimes.
Right.
And everybody knows that about Adam Schefter.
His job is just find something out five seconds before Ian Rappaport finds it out.
And he's pretty good at that job.
He's very good at the job.
With the exception, I'll harken back to last week when the Baker Mayfield News dropped.
I don't think he ever tweeted that out.
No.
Because I think he's so late on it.
He does do a thing where if he misses it, he just never tweets it.
He didn't.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I appreciate that.
But yeah, it is very funny when all these when this story comes out about Schefter,
everyone's like, this is disgusting.
What did you think was going on?
I think it's fucked up, though, that Adam Schefter spent $16,000 on chocolate and we
don't get any of it.
Like any of it.
What?
How many people is he sending chocolate out to?
And how do we not make the cut?
Should we call him?
Should we call him?
Yeah.
Let's give him a call.
Let's give him a call.
Let's see if he picks up.
There's no way he's going to pick up.
There's no way he's going to pick up.
This would be very funny, though.
He's probably doing a Peloton or pushup regimen to keep his brawny build.
We're defending him, by the way.
Yeah.
We are defending our guy, Schefti.
Man, does he sleep?
It is July.
It is 9 30.
It might also be like the one time.
Yeah.
You might also be like I'm conducting official NFL League business right now.
Yeah.
Why are you?
All right.
I'm going to text him right now and say, why didn't we get chocolate?
Why don't we get chocolate?
I just want a small thing of chocolate.
Why don't we get chocolate?
Is that too much to ask?
Okay.
Holiday chocolate.
All right.
So here's the other part.
And this is the part where we're going to get chocolate.
Okay.
Holiday chocolate.
All right.
So here's the other part.
And this is the part where I'm really going to defend Adam Schefter.
He invented Twitter before Twitter.
What do you mean?
Oh, let me tell you PFT.
Schefter was also early to understand an information ecosystem that was being upended by technology.
He created email lists on his BlackBerry that he would separate into general managers,
coaches, executives, and owners.
He filed a story or had news.
He would fire it off to his list as he was also sending it to the news desk.
One former NFL executive described this as Twitter before Twitter.
So he'd email people.
He was really, he was the fastest email.
He put all the email addresses together and then he emailed it.
He built a spreadsheet and then he would email off that spreadsheet.
Like that.
None of this really shot.
You remember for a while ESPN kind of tried to do their own Twitter where like they had
everybody break news like on their website, live scroll of things like a bottom line for
the website.
I mean, good for Adam Schefter.
I don't know like why he's doing press.
Well, you already got his contract, right?
Yeah.
The people are mad because there's a couple of things.
One, he's had a few tweets this past year and issues where it's like he's been not the
most sensitive.
Yeah.
The Carson Winst thing.
Yeah.
When it comes to domestic violence, he probably hasn't had the most sensitive touch and maybe
you know, given out in agents words and not actually like the real words.
That's one thing which he actually addressed in this and he's like, I got to stay in my
lane.
I got to be more cautious and sensitive and delicate to these things.
And then the other thing is always in life.
When someone has success and when someone wins, people want to tear him down.
He's making reportedly $9 million a year.
He gets every scoop.
He has every contact.
People hate that.
People hate winter.
They want to tear down winners.
They want to tear down Adam Shepter's legacy.
Yeah.
What has Adam done to improve his legacy today?
That's the question.
Well, he could get his chocolates.
You could pick up his phone.
That's exactly what it would be.
He's definitely going to call us back when we're high.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's going to suck.
But I'm really going to want chocolate.
Yeah.
That will suck.
I'm going to be more angry about the chocolate.
Yes.
Yes.
So yeah, that's pretty much everything we've got going on right now.
I don't know what else.
Like I said, yeah, I did the Orioles bet 400 to 1 because mostly because I've fallen off
Orioles fans and the Orioles this year are the perfect like they have enough prospects
that have come up.
Still some really good prospects in the minor leagues and everyone's like every win.
You know, when a team is starting to ascend and they're not great yet, they're not even
maybe good yet because they're just, I think they're, they beat the Cubs tonight.
There'd be 500, but there's that buzz about them.
And I just got caught up in the buzz and I was like, fuck, I want to ride.
I want to ride with these guys.
I think they're scrappy.
Yeah.
They're a little bit of that buck show ultra stink on them and, and they have like they
still have, I had a shout out our guy Ebo in the office because he's an Orioles fan.
I had him make up like a one sheet for me of just basically give me all the like good
players and what the fans think of him.
Yeah.
And it's like he listed all of them.
And then there's like three or four guys that they have that are top prospects that could
still be called up, which is the most thrilling thing in base.
That's great.
If they're close, if they're looking like they could make the wild card.
So let's play a game.
It's called name three Orioles.
Okay.
Adley Rushman.
I know that.
Okay.
Um, he's good enough.
I read the one.
She I read the one.
She today.
Fuck.
I got.
No, not Mohan Anderson.
Miguel Tejada.
Chris Hoyles.
Sammy Sosa.
Oh, wait, wait.
Shefty.
Billy Ripken.
Shefty.
You meant that text for me?
Yeah.
You're live.
You're live on part of my take.
What?
We were just reading your Washington Post article.
We're defending you by the way.
I was, I was just upset because we don't get any of your $16,000 chocolate budget.
$16,000 chocolate budget and nothing for the part of my take guys.
No, you guys are on the list next year.
I mean, that's, that's bullshit.
All right.
Legacy complete.
What kind of chocolates?
What kind of chocolates?
You know, I don't remember.
I've been giving a kiss for a long enough time that I don't remember the chocolate.
Let's see.
Oh, I know what it was.
Uh, oh, I know what it was.
There's this nice basket that, uh, that Hershey makes that they include like all the dark chocolate
sounds great.
Mr. Goodbar and Crackles.
Yeah.
And they do like a whole tin of it.
Sounds delicious.
You know, and let me say this, it goes great with donuts on Saturday.
Oh, come on.
Why?
All right.
So, all right.
So we, we need the chocolates.
If you try to send me a tie, I'll send it back.
Yeah.
Well, no, I haven't done ties in a while either.
Like it just shifts, whatever you feel like doing that year, it just, it's just that kind
of thing.
And, uh, it's all about kind of relationships and showing people that you think of them.
That's all it is.
Yeah.
It'd be nice to be thought of.
Exactly.
Well, I think of you guys a lot.
Okay.
All right.
Well, I just haven't, I just haven't sent chocolates to express that.
Okay.
All right.
So we're on the list.
That's all we want to hear.
You guys are on the list.
Okay.
Thank you.
We appreciate it.
We'll talk to you later.
Thank you.
All right.
See ya.
That's nice.
That's it.
We're on the list.
Breaking news.
Breaking news.
Break the news.
Break the news right now, Jake.
That's.
Tweet it out.
Tweet it out.
Tweet it out from PMT account.
Breaking news.
Part of my take is officially on Adam Schefter's chocolate.
Yep.
Part of my take is officially on Adam Schefter's.
As of now, part of my take is officially on Adam Schefter's holiday chocolate.
I'm a little worried though, because he did say that it depends year to year how he's
feeling.
Like it's not always chocolate.
It could be something else.
Yeah.
I hope I don't get a tie.
And he also, well.
That's such a terrible gift.
When you give someone a tie, you're like, here's something you have to wear when you
don't want to, like you don't want to be in a suit.
Here's a fucking tie.
Yeah.
Like that's why you give your dad if you don't like him.
Also we don't wear ties.
Right.
It's a completely useless gift.
Yeah.
That's for Jake.
Yes.
You gifted me a suit.
Yeah, I gave you.
Yes.
That's a whole suit.
That's different.
That's a thoughtful gift to you.
That was also a bet with Bill.
Because I knew that you would use the suit.
You would use the tie.
Me and Big Cat, you might as well give us condoms, whatever.
Putting those things on.
Damn.
Yeah, no.
I said we're done with condoms last week.
The end of story though, we defend Schefti because he's a weird dude, but he's really
fucking good at his job.
Yeah.
He's mad when people are good at their jobs and they make a lot of money and they seem
to be at the top of their profession.
Well, the thing is if Schefti didn't do this, somebody else, you know what, actually, if
you're an up and comer in the breaking news industry, just send out $17,000 with a chocolate.
Yeah.
He kind of gave away the secret sauce.
Oh, should we text Rappaport and be like, how much chocolate are we getting?
Yeah.
They'd be really confused.
Yeah.
It's gonna have been your work.
Schefti did just reply chocolate, question mark, question mark, question mark because that
is how fast his brain works.
And that was the most of the story was like, there's never been a human being who works
as fast as him because that story came out, I don't know, like 9am.
He's already like, what are you talking about?
He's on the next one.
The thing I'll also agree with him on is the blackberry thing.
I think there should be a phone that comes out that brings back the like touch keyboards
like the actual buttons to press.
Yeah.
That would be so sweet.
You know how old we are?
The sidekick.
Bring back the sidekick.
Yeah.
Brick breaker.
Yeah.
Brick breaker was maybe the greatest game to just do nothing all day and try to beat
brick breaker.
How many times did you get around it?
I never had a blackberry, but I just played in other people's programs.
Did brick breaker end?
Like I know that I got to the end and it starts back at level one, just goes faster.
It's called a kill screen.
Yeah.
In the business.
Okay.
That's what Billy Mitchell taught us, right?
So I don't know if it ever end.
I don't know how far anyone's ever gotten.
I think I got halfway through the fast one.
The second round.
The second round.
Yeah.
Is there a third round?
I don't know.
Question for everyone.
Who?
Question for our 35 plus audience.
34 levels.
34?
Holy shit.
I've got three lives.
They make it on the iPhone now, but like OG is black.
You need the keys.
You need to press the keys and have them go in and out.
Oh, wow.
He just texted, please send addresses for you, PFT and Hank.
Wow.
Sorry, Jake.
Sorry, Jake.
It's all right.
He answered my email a few years ago.
You read it on the show.
That's true.
Yeah.
I'm a good advice.
He always gives back.
Yeah.
Okay.
So anything else before we get to hot seat, cool throne and then Joey Chestnut.
Well, you said bears are back.
I've got a Washington football team thing too.
Okay.
Cool throne.
Okay.
Okay.
We'll wait.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
So let's get to hot seat, cool throne.
It is brought to you by our friends at true bill.
How many subscription services are you paying for each month?
Do you know?
Do you know, Hank?
A lot.
True bill is the smartest way to manage your finances.
True bill helps you identify and stop paying for subscriptions you don't need, want or
simply forget about.
And you can cancel subscriptions directly through the app.
On average, people save up to $720 a year with true bill.
I'm definitely one of those people.
I have subscriptions up the ass.
I got them left, right, down, up.
I don't know where all my subscriptions are.
I probably don't even use all of them.
I need true bill because they have a variety of tools to help customers improve their finances,
create a monthly budget and expenses, track and evaluate savings goals, automated savings.
You choose how much to pay away weekly, get push notifications when you're getting close
to going over your budget or when your cash is running low.
Get true bill now.
We actually were in the car out here and our friend, little sass was saying that he has
like hundreds of dollars to Patreon every month and he doesn't use any of them.
He needs true bill.
I think he said only fans.
Yeah, only fans.
It was only fans and browsers.
So get you need true bill right now.
Check out true bill again.
They can manage your finances on average.
People save up to $720 a year with true bill.
Check it out.
True bill.
All right.
Hot seat.
Cool.
Throw in pink.
The hot seat is Brittany Griner.
Oh, oh, yikes.
Still in Russia.
You want to go there to Russia?
No, I'm good.
I'm good here.
Yeah.
So you like it here in the United States.
I do like it here in the United States.
What if we had a Barstool mini golf tournament in Russia?
You'd be there.
You'd be on the next flight tomorrow morning.
He'd already be there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, if I was producing it in locations, he'd be scout.
I'll go anywhere.
Yep.
But LeBron, not to bring him up out of nowhere as we usually do.
It is a relevant story.
I was once again left with no choice.
He on his own show, the Barber Shop, he was talking about the Brittany Griner situation
and also talking about how fucked up America is.
And he said basically, I don't know if I'd want to come back to America if I was Brittany
Griner.
So, so LeBron tweeted out seven minutes ago because I have notifications back when he was
promising his Q&A.
Yeah, I do too.
He said, my comments on the shop regarding Brittany Griner wasn't knocking our beautiful
country.
I was simply saying how she's probably feeling emotionally along with so many other emotions,
thoughts, et cetera, inside that cage she's been in for over a hundred plus days.
Long story short, hashtag, bring her home.
I think it was a bad quote that he had.
It was a bad, bad quote.
Wait, but there's no way no one took that and ran with it for her.
I think what he was saying.
It's not like it was his own show that put it out.
Yeah, that's true.
It's a bad quote.
You could have controlled it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bad quote.
Not.
I don't want to say it was taken out of context, but I think when it was.
It was his show.
It was his context.
But I think what he was saying was that Brittany, if he was Brittany, he'd be pissed off that
the U.S. hasn't done more to bring her home.
So he'd be mad at our country.
Got it.
Got it.
I think that's what he was saying.
Well shout out Clay Travis.
He has something to talk about for the next month.
That's very true.
Dan Dockage had seven tweets about that today.
I miss all this because I don't know if you guys noticed, but I wasn't trying to tweet
while we were driving.
Trying to be a little bit better about that.
You were trying.
So I missed all this.
No, you actually did tweet while we were driving.
No, we stopped.
Sass.
No, you were pissed.
No, I looked over.
You were tweeting a few times as we were driving.
Only when the sass pissed.
But it was good.
It's actually.
It's an improvement on the past because back in the old days when we'd be on the RV.
Yeah, I don't do it anymore.
I would be trying to take a nap in the back.
It sounds like you do.
No, I don't.
It would just be fire.
Oh, Hank, you didn't?
No, absolutely not.
Well, he was on the RV.
I would have a cigarette in one hand, his phone in the other doing an open queue.
I did one treat.
I did one treat.
Bears are back.
I did bears back when to kill Harry.
Yeah.
But I think that's when we were stopped.
I really do think that was when we were stopped to take a piss because Sass had to take a
piss on a two and a half hour drive.
Um, no offense to him.
All right, your cool.
My cool throne.
I have one single one.
It's lo-fi hip hop radio.
Oh, great.
I don't know.
Good one to do.
This is on yours.
Fuck.
You got.
Can I have a minute?
All right.
You guys are boomers.
I don't know.
I know there's I know there's people listening that know what I'm talking about.
It's like beats to relax study to that's the name of the channel that's a stream.
It's literally a 24 seven stream right now.
It has 24,000 people watching.
Okay.
It went down the other day and I went started freaking out 24,000 people freaked out.
Look, it was up.
Look, that's how that's how long it was.
It was up for like, oh, that does suck.
Okay.
So it had it was up for whatever.
I think three or four years.
Yeah, that does suck.
That's it.
It went down.
People started freaking out because obviously a lot of people like listening to it.
It's very lasting.
I listen to it when I'm working on the third floor.
It's like mindless music helps you relax, helps you study.
Sounds like your job upstairs and stimulating enough.
No, it's just like sometimes you need to block out the noise.
There's like construction going on in our office 24 seven.
It got taken out for copyright strike.
YouTube came back said it was a mistake.
We're putting you back up.
Well, you can't fix that mistake, YouTube.
You took them down.
But they're back up.
Yeah.
But they had a streak.
Yeah.
I mean, the video has 668 million views.
But they can't.
Yeah.
That's our bad.
I agree.
You can't.
You can't take it down.
That's an impressive streak staying live for that long.
Yeah.
That's fucked up.
Okay.
It's like, they're back.
They're back.
They're back.
It wasn't a bit back.
When Ben McAdoo took Eli out and everybody freaked out about that.
That's what they did.
Yeah.
Was it Gino?
Daniel Jones, maybe.
No, I think it was Gino.
It was Gino.
Memes, yeah.
Was it?
It was Gino.
Damn.
Yeah.
For one game.
Ben McAdoo.
What a dick.
There was no reason to do that.
Now he's Baker's OC.
Those are the best.
I remember when Trestin did that, he put in Jimmy Clausen for a game because he was like,
we're going to try something else and come.
Just get a spark.
What?
We're going to get a spark out here.
What's the point here?
Gino is going to be our spark.
Yeah.
Just watch guys.
Yeah.
Okay.
Gino is all of our brains struggling to comprehend the infinitesimal reality of infinity and
outer space because that space telescope, the web space telescope has been pumping out
new images and they're freaking me out.
Hank, you're not in class.
I saw Venus.
Did you?
Yeah.
Wasn't it like that?
That's a different one, I think.
The coolest, like the most clear picture or was it Mercury?
No.
It was not of our solar system.
It was of.
Oh, I saw something else.
It was of like thousands of galaxies that are.
See a pic?
Way far away.
Doesn't do much for me.
It doesn't?
You're not impressed by that?
That will fuck me up for days.
No, I, I, it did fuck me up because I just kept staring at it.
First of all, thinking like I want to fuck outer space.
And then secondly, because what, look at this and tell me you don't want to fuck out.
Outer space is beautiful.
Look, look at this.
Let me see it.
How cool is that?
Okay.
But this.
Thousands of gallons.
See, this doesn't mean anything to me.
That's what I'm saying.
No, I'm agreeing with Hank.
That does nothing.
No, this, this.
It's infinity.
This looks like you just passed out underneath the Christmas tree.
You're looking at the universe right now.
Like it's, it's really not.
Think about it.
How many, how many stars are in these?
You're looking at trillions of stars.
What attracts you about that?
Trillions of stars.
Says who?
I guess I'm just more of an intellectual.
Was it Venus or Mercury?
Something.
I saw a picture of me.
Oh, here it is.
Clearest image ever taken of Venus.
That's cool.
Cause like I can comprehend that.
You just showed me like an etch a sketch.
Look at this.
This is a star being born right there in a nebula.
That's kind of cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But that could also just be some fucking scientist lava lamp and they just send it out and they're
like, check this out guys.
Scientists just need to like,
They just need to keep getting paid so every couple months they just release shit that like,
who knows if that's real.
Here's a gigantic dust cloud that's giving birth to stars.
Where?
Outer space.
Yeah.
I think they're making this up.
Yeah.
I did see, I did see this picture and I just said, that's fake.
Like we could make one of those easily.
Yeah.
The part of my take telescope has finally reached outer space.
Seven billion dollars in funding.
Here are all of our pictures.
This one right here does look like if Van Gogh took mushrooms and then started to paint.
Yeah.
That's, that's a lava lamp.
That's like one of those like colored sand, but you know what, that's really what it is.
Like if, if you show me a picture of outer space and I could be more impressed by those
people who put this colored sand into the glass and they make like a hockey player out of it.
Like that's way more impressive.
I still think it's cool.
I like outer space.
I'll put my hand out.
I do too.
But that one didn't do anything.
It doesn't sound like you like outer space.
I showed you Venus.
I'm down with Venus.
I like Earth better than outer space.
Yeah.
But I still like outer space.
It's just tangible outer space.
Right.
Like Venus I can think about.
Right.
That one is just so abstract.
Nobody's ever seen.
It's also like in the past.
No one's.
Yes.
That's a crazy thing.
This is like eight billion years ago that we're looking at.
Right.
That makes that.
Tony just put out his first album.
Feel old yet?
Yeah.
Okay.
What's your cool throw?
Well I got another hot seat.
Oh.
Is that okay?
Hot seats.
Couple hot seats.
Couple hot seats.
Yeah.
Thank you, Jack.
Not a few.
No.
You lost that by the way.
This is your last one.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
You lost it.
I think the depth.
What was the definition?
Everyone online was like Hank is crazy.
Yeah.
It's a couple or a few.
Yeah.
So my couple hot seat.
Small numbers too.
Dan Snyder again on the hot seat.
I think I feel like I've said this.
Oh wow.
This is way out of this one.
You've become an onion headline.
Yeah.
Like Washington football commander fan thinks this is finally the time that Dan Snyder's
going down.
This is like Keith Oberman being like Donald Trump, sir, you have crossed the line for
the last time, sir.
Your presidency is over.
I'm saying that about Dan Snyder.
He is going to have to testify in front of Congress, under oath.
Is he just going to say no comment, plead the fifth?
He might plead the fifth.
But I'm looking forward to it because I'm going to go through his testimony with a fine
tooth comb.
Love him saying plead the fifth.
But I will find a way that he is committing perjury.
I will find it.
I will get Dan Snyder convicted on perjury somehow, some way.
I'm just glad that he's going to be testifying under oath.
It's not going to work.
I fully accepted this.
You have a day.
You get your day in court.
He is going to outlive me.
I've completely accepted that, whatever.
But I still have a chance at him.
I'm like Albert Pujols at the home run derby.
I might swing and miss nine times, but that tenth one is going over the fence.
My cool throne is the New York Yankees because per Joe Osborne on Twitter, he was talking
about their babbit.
And you know, as seam heads, we know all about Babbit big time on this podcast.
Over the last month, the Yankees ranked 27th with a babbit of only 265 frauds.
Despite this, they rank first and run scored in this span.
Oh, so they're frauds.
So no, quite the contrary.
It means that the Yankees have not even begun to peak yet.
Got it.
It means that they've been really good, but also really unlucky at the same time.
Got it.
I mean, their luck swings around when the Babbit gods put their wand on their foreheads and
say, congratulations, we now anoint you Yankees.
That's when the Yankees are going to step on the gas.
So I feel like congratulations to the New York Yankees winners of the 2022 World Series.
Congratulations.
I have to win the ale first.
They will.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yankees pride themselves on power.
Doesn't include power.
Right.
I don't know.
I honestly don't know what Babbit includes measures and players built this entire house
of cards and cheap just comes over a little bit.
So Babbit stands for batting average on balls and play, which means that if you make contact
with the ball and it lands in play, yeah, but removing outcomes not affected by the opposing
defense, namely homeruns and strikeouts, right, right.
But I'm saying on their balls and play, they're unlucky.
They're getting, they're getting like they're hitting line drives the second baseman that
don't quite make it up.
What Jake's saying is true.
The Yankees also get very lucky because they play in a fucking Mickey mouse of a park.
Right.
That only they play on the opposing team doesn't according to the opposing team.
Well, they play way more.
Yeah.
They play way more games.
Yeah.
But the team they're playing has the opportunity to officially, they've officially won the
World Series.
Yeah.
Yeah, they have.
But not the ALCS.
But not the.
Yes.
Thank you.
The Orioles are going to win the ALCS and then get disqualified.
That's fine by me.
As long as it's a ticket cash.
Yep.
I just got a damn from this guy named Mark, just kind of how you're saying everyone said
I was wrong.
They said on Monday's episode, they roasted you for saying a few who's backs.
But if you were on the tape, you actually said a couple.
So you were right.
But wait, there's more during Mount Rushmore, Big Cat said he had a couple honorable mentions
and then he named three.
Okay.
But I know what the difference between a couple and a few is.
It sounds like you don't because you said a couple.
Well, I probably was like a couple and then I had two and then I was like, oh fuck, I
forgot this one too.
She said that guy's a nerd.
Get him out of here.
See, Mark, you're suspended from part of my day.
Get the fuck out.
Boom.
Verbal gift.
Boom.
See ya.
Um, all right.
My, uh, is it where you have a cool throne?
No, that was that was my cool.
I could do a few.
Yeah, you could do a few.
All right.
My hot seat is ESPN because they ran an entire segment on a fake John Morant quote.
Ball sack.
Who would do that?
Doing a whole segment on a fake Kevin Durant, um, only wants to play for teams with two
All Stars thing, whatever, uh, but yeah, that was a, that was a fake one.
Yeah, I found that someone said that after and I was like, I don't care.
You got ballsack.
Well, it was, no, it was the hoop central, which I feel like that's good too.
Yeah.
Are they real?
No.
See, I didn't know that.
I think hoop central is sometimes real.
That's the thing.
They confuse it also.
No, but there's like a hoop central and there's like a H zero zero or like, there's also that
that wasn't a crazy thing to say because Kevin wrote does want to play with good players
and we were on vacation and, and I don't really care.
Some guy was like, that was all fake and I was like, please apologize and I was just
like, I don't give a fuck.
I'm sorry.
Like this show does not fact check ever.
I think the biggest funny thing is also LeBron might not have been in Cleveland for his
decision.
Doesn't matter.
We're doing some retroactive fact checking.
Where was it?
Connecticut.
Maybe.
I love it because we always get to like fact checker.
You could, you could tell.
I mean, I love the AWLs are up for a six time championship in a week, seven, maybe seven,
sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty one, twenty two.
Wow.
Seven.
Yeah.
Okay.
So they're up for seven.
Hamilton.
Um, that's crazy.
But, uh, there's something very, and all of us have experienced this.
If you make a mistake, you can tell how big of a mistake it was by like waking up and
just seeing like, okay, there's like 15 tweets or there's like a hundred tweets.
And if you make a really big mistake, like there's a hundred tweets, you're like, God
damn it.
I should have said that.
I also don't like the journalists complaining about the existence of ball sack sports.
Now some people are like, what a bunch of sad losers those are to make a site that's
just dedicated to tricking ESPN.
I fucking love it.
It's gonna make me laugh.
There should be, there should be traps in every facet of the world.
Yes.
Listen, if the internet was all people being completely honest all the time, it would be
no fun at all.
It's also one of those things where I used to be like, I used to be ashamed when I got
duped.
Now it's just like, all right, whatever, the internet gets you.
If you live on the internet, you're going to get caught.
Yeah.
Like it just happens.
You can't, you know what, you know what I say to the people who don't get caught?
They're not playing hard enough.
They're not a man in the arena.
Get in the arena, play every day on the internet.
You will get caught.
And if you don't, it's like the old saying, like you don't do business if you don't get
sued, which is a crazy thing to say, but I've heard people say it.
If you don't get caught, you're not on the internet.
So there's a really easy way to not get caught by Ballsack Sports.
And that's to look and to see if it's from an account called Ballsack Sports.
Right.
But no, but there's other way.
Like if someone gets like ESPN, then get caught, got, got.
And I could get caught from that.
But then you get caught.
They are because one show talks about it.
And then the other producers of the other shows are like, Oh,
can I just say real quick?
I also think just stay woke.
I think they're just doing it on purpose.
Like I think they know and they don't care because guess what?
It's the middle of July and there's nothing to talk about.
So they did an entire show about John Ryan day, the entire day about John Morant saying
if Michael Jordan played in today's NBA, he'd be just another player.
You think they're going to apologize for those ratings?
You know what?
I don't care.
I'm free with fake John Morant.
Like what do they care?
Like they don't like, and then they get to do another day where everyone's like talking
about ESPN, getting caught.
And then now everyone wants to tune in to see if what Kendrick Perkins is talking about
really did or didn't happen.
It's genius.
We should actually make a Ballsack Sports, but just for people that are on ESPN and just
make up quotes from Steven Smith.
Yes, I like that.
I like that.
Jake, put that in the counter.
I will never have Steven Smith being like, I will never get Ballsack Sports in my life.
Yeah.
Let's do it in like four weeks, remind us.
That seems like we'll be back in the, we're in vacation mode right now.
And then my cool throne is the Bears are back because we got Nikhil Harry, who, he's awesome,
right?
First round pick.
Yeah.
He's a big body.
Big body.
Great route runner.
Great hands.
Belichick saw something.
Another weapon for Justin Fields, fucking chest is full, bro.
This could be a fake tweet.
I think I saw it.
I'm not going to fact check it, but it was like in the last 20 years, the only receiver
that Belichick's drafted that's done anything or like had over maybe like a hundred catches
or something is Jules.
Yeah.
He's the, the only one.
Who was a quarterback.
Yeah.
Right.
Special teams.
Special teams.
Yeah.
Everyone's got their weaknesses, but either way to kill Harry, he's going to be a stud.
He's first round draft pick.
I remember him in Arizona state.
He was awesome.
Packed 12 after dark.
So Bears are back.
That was the only time like you guys, we always talk about draft season.
I'm like, I don't really care about the draft cause it's boring.
We always draft like a lineman or something.
That was the only time where you're pumped.
We're pumped.
I was watching all the highlight tapes.
It was like, oh my God, like Randy Moss, 2.0 Tom Brady, speaking of getting God online,
I just like the first tweet after I said Bears are back, someone was like, he's an incredible
run blocker.
I was like, enough for me.
Yeah.
I don't care.
Like you could have just made that up.
I'm down with it.
I'm going to repeat that later.
Like you, you'll hear that said like week three, would you give up on Montgomery, get fucking
sprung by Nikhil Harry, a seventh round pick.
Oh, so that's, that's just good monetary policy.
You exchange a seventh round or for a first round.
We could get another the run.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kevin White going to be back soon.
A lot of studs at wide receiver.
All right, Jake, your hot seat cool throne.
Then let's get to Joey Chestnut and pardon my big.
My hot seat is Heinz Field.
Yeah.
RIP and peace.
This is one of.
Like there's Yankee stadium.
That's the team.
But in terms of brand sponsors, this is one of the most popular ones.
Yeah.
Staples.
Staple center left last year.
So this is going to be a weird one.
I'm still upset about that.
I believe, I don't know if I'm pronouncing this correctly, but Accra sure.
Sure.
I, you know what?
Stadium.
I'd like to speak for all of us.
Let's just keep calling it Heinz Field.
Yeah.
I don't, I'm not going to stop calling it Heinz Field.
It's Heinz Field.
Yeah.
It's being called at Heinz Field.
I'm going to call it Heinz Field.
Yeah.
I agree.
No.
It's Heinz Field.
I'm not going to.
Dumbest investment ever.
I've already forgotten the name of the company.
Correct.
Yeah.
That was astute.
You can't be the company after Heinz.
Right.
It should have actually been.
What's the Hunts?
Hunts should have done it.
I should have done it.
Or French's Mustard.
Yeah.
They should have done it.
Or Grey Poupon.
They should have fucking done it.
It's a little too European for Pittsburgh.
Yeah.
I know.
It would have been great though.
It must be sponsored by Butter.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But like what?
Why wouldn't?
That was a perfect spot for a condiment to jump in.
You missed it.
You fucked it up.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think of other venues that are known just for their sponsors.
Like Staple Center was one and not by their team.
What other ones come to mind?
The Trot.
Trot, Picanha Field.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The Juice Box, Minute Maid.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That used to be Enron.
Yeah.
That was better.
I like it.
Yeah.
United Center kind of.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is very.
All the airlines like American Airlines.
Yeah.
Well, the Heat Lost American Airlines.
Yeah.
That's a good one.
My cool throne is friend of the program, recurring guest, Max Holma.
You have a very cool story entering the open championship.
He is paired with Tiger Woods.
I am nervous.
I'm nervous.
Very nervous.
Dude, I literally sent him a clip from Hoosiers when they measured the rim being like dude,
it's 10 feet.
Don't worry about it.
Yeah.
I'm worried for Max because Max is, he's a sensitive man and he's going to be deep in
his feels like it or not.
Like this is his hero that he's playing with.
Yeah.
I'm just afraid that he's going to be like, this is just so cool.
We had him nine years ago asking for a practice round and now he's playing with him in a
major.
You know what?
Positive vibes over for him.
This is great for Max.
Or should we try to like break down Tiger, like make Tiger seem like the enemy for Max?
Well, he's also, he's also teamed up with, what's his name?
Fitzpatrick?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like what should we do like for Max to, to, to, you know, break down Tiger so that like
Max Tiger would fuck your wife and he wouldn't care about it.
Okay.
Let's just be honest.
He would.
So use that energy, bro.
That's not a bad strategy.
I also think that's the truth.
That is the day.
Tigers is self-admitted sex addict.
He would do that and he wouldn't feel any remorse, harness that and then win.
Was that too much?
It was, I think just right is just right.
You remember the picture of Tiger Woods when he dressed up like Mac Daddy Santa?
Yes.
That's like my favorite.
Like just, just look at that picture and think to yourself, look at this man.
He puts on his nipple clamps one at a time, just like the rest of us.
Yeah.
Oh man.
All right, Max.
You got this.
Yeah.
So if you need more, Max, just let us know.
We will go way harder.
That was just the tip.
The Max slam is what you guys call it, right?
Making the cut at all four.
Yep.
If he does it, he would do it in 2022 as well.
So he's made it.
Wow.
Double Max slam.
For this year.
Super Max.
He made it up the open last year and then missed all three, the other three last year,
but this year, all three he's made.
What a streak.
I love it.
It's like a low fidelity hip hop channel.
So hopefully he can get the job done.
This runs forever.
We're pulling for him.
Except for that time.
Yeah.
What's that Hank?
Why were you shaking your head?
No.
Hank's already moved on to the mini golf tournament.
Did I not take what you told, what you taught us and apply it to another thing?
Low fidelity.
Can I actually ask a quick question?
Can I see your phone?
Did you take any videos from the cup course today?
No.
None?
No pictures, no videos?
Also cool.
He's going to go to sleep just re-watching the course.

Good call.
We got some great stuff.

Okay.
Here he is.
Joey Chestnut.
Okay.
We now welcome on the greatest American that has ever lived.
He is the hot dog champion.
It is Joey Chestnut.
Joey, does it feel a little awkward me saying you're the greatest American that ever lived?
Because we do think that.
We truly think that on this show.
Dude, it's weird.
You know, I'm just a goofy guy.
I'm shy and I just love to eat.
I found my calling.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd say so.
I mean, you are the greatest eater to ever walk the face of the earth.
I think it's safe to say that.
It's a weird feeling knowing that, yeah.
It's like when it comes to the 4th of July, I could have a bad day and I'm still going
to smoke them.
Yeah.
I mean, you also demonstrated quite a range of skills.
You were like the John Wick of eating.
You had a protester bum rush you and you just snapped into like, I don't know what it was
like CIA mode and you put them in a headlock and put them down.
Dude, was that just you reacting on instinct or was there any training that kicked in?
It's almost like food aggression.
I'm like, I'm a nice dog, but he got in the way of the food.
Yeah.
And yeah, it was real quick.
I thought it was an accident.
Then I noticed the guy with the mask and so it really went into just instinct.
I had to get him away from me and get back to eating.
All right.
So I want to give you the chance now because I know I saw afterwards you apologized.
I want you to take back that apology.
That guy showing up on the 4th of July trying to mess with the greatest American of all
time.
He deserved to be put in a headlock.
So now's your chance.
Let's take back that apology.
Fuck that guy.
I don't know if I actually apologized.
I said I regret the whole situation and he caused the whole situation.
His parents need to be taught.
He's like, he's a kid.
He's 21 years old and he just, I don't know what kind of privilege he came from, but
it's just ridiculous.
His parents need to be put in a headlock.
Yes.
If you remember Joey, when I competed 2016, there was a protest as well.
It was a far side of the table.
So you didn't have to put anyone in a headlock.
I didn't even know that we were allowed to put people in headlocks.
I kind of regret myself not like I could go back in time, change one thing.
It'd be to put that protester in a headlock because who knows if they were coming for
you.
Like I should have been better defense for you.
They were throwing stuff.
I think they got you with fake blood.
Yes.
And that's like, I'm really lucky this guy wasn't, yeah, he didn't actually really
attack me, but now I'm getting like hate mail from all the vegans.
So who knows?
I'm hoping they don't start retaliating.
Don't forget, don't forget in like a week.
They just get, that's their week to get all hot and bothered about something.
They all focus their energy on like a letter writing campaign.
You'll be good.
You'll be good.
Don't worry about it.
From a physical standpoint though, like your body, how long does it take you to recover
from a hot dog eating contest?
This year was a little bit rough.
It was hot and that adds a little bit extra time.
Also the injury on my leg.
So I started taking some painkillers and painkillers.
They, everybody knows they slow, they constipate you a little bit.
That's a very dangerous combination.
You're taking like a constipating drug.
Yeah.
It took a little bit longer.
I usually I'm feeling fine after a day and a half.
I'd say it took about four days for me to really feel normal, normal.
Oh wow.
Yeah.
But my legs started to feel better.
I'm going to get this cast off on Wednesday, tomorrow and hopefully don't need surgery.
Wait.
So the leg, because that was the other part of the, you know, it became the protester,
but you won the hot dog eating competition on one leg.
Was it, did it, I'd have to imagine it had to like slow you down a little bit, not being
stable, getting that wide base that you need to chow down on some dogs.
Oh yeah.
I didn't want to tell anybody this.
I didn't want to give the competition any hope, but I broke my leg like seven months
ago with the tibia fibula that came through the skin.
Then I had infection after infection.
And then I was finally back to jogging.
And then a month ago, I tore or ruptured attendant in the front of my tibia.
And there was a moment, I thought, either for a little bit, I wasn't going to be able
to compete.
I thought, but the doctor put it in the hard cast and immobilized it.
And I was able to go out there.
What's that, what's that conversation like, like, you know, like I'd imagine it's like,
you know, a football player being like, doc, can I go?
Can I play?
Were you, were you like, doc, can I eat?
Can I, can I chow down on some dogs?
Yeah.
It was like, what are my options?
It really, really hurts.
I can't walk.
He's like, well, you can stand up on it as long as you stay planted.
It shouldn't hurt too bad.
And he wouldn't give me any cortisone because I had a history of infection.
But I got, yeah, he just said, don't don't move around too much.
And the pain won't bother you.
And, and I was able to able to get it done.
So what's the backup plan there?
If you couldn't have stood up, would you have been able to compete sitting down?
And how do you think that would have affected you?
Yeah, I did one practice on stool, kind of a high stool.
And I did 54.
So I still, I would have still won.
If I did, if I had to, but I, but that, it goes back.
If they saw me eating on a stool, they might, the other ears, it's,
it's hard for people to push their body.
Yeah.
And when they know that I'm going to be so far ahead of them.
But if, if they knew I wasn't going to do well,
then they might be able to push themselves a little bit harder.
Yeah.
If they see any weakness at all, they could be like, this is our year.
And they could, they could go a little bit harder.
How many hot dogs do you think you could eat on one of those inversion tables?
If you were hanging upside down.
Oh my God.
It definitely be harder because gravity wouldn't be helping you.
In fact, that's one of my exercises.
I pretty much hang up, go upside down and I swallow air because they get,
get all the muscles to work.
It's, I, in 10 minutes, you wouldn't be able to dunk either.
Or maybe it would be a mess.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Maybe 30.
That's how you should train next time.
It's like if you, if you trained under those conditions.
Yeah.
It could be dangerous.
Yeah.
Have somebody close by that's certified in the Heimlich.
Yeah.
Okay.
So are you, this is a tough question, but do you think you're bad for competitive
eating at this point?
Because you dominate so much.
Has there been any thought of like, maybe next year, don't even dunk at all?
Just raw dog and just go, go dry bun and just dominate that way.
Like to give it a little bit more spice, be like, I can beat you guys any which way.
I beat you on one leg.
I beat you with a protester.
I beat you when it's hot.
I beat you when it's cold.
Like start challenging yourself to beat them in different ways so that like,
I don't know.
Like you'd be like, we look back.
It's like, yeah, Joey Chestnut won all these.
And then he started, he was so good that he had to win different ways so that everyone
had even like a little bit of a chance.
I don't know.
Yeah.
It's, I don't think I need to do that.
I think, I think it'd be a little bit more fun if I got a sponsor involved and said,
Hey, if you get close, if there's an eater who qualifies with over 65 hot dogs,
they get a $30,000 bonus.
So they'll have motivation to work their butts off.
I want to go there.
I want to break it.
I want to make a new record.
Everybody knows that I'm getting older.
So it's a little bit more work every year.
And I, it's like a point of like, all right, I can still do this.
And I want to get a record.
I'm not going to find excuses.
This year sucked.
I knew going into it.
I probably wasn't going to get close to the record.
But I'm definitely not going to set it up harder for myself to,
that I won't be able to break a record.
But I think I want to,
I want to give the other,
find a way to get the other years motivated to push me.
Yeah.
That'd be the best way for me to get a record.
If she's somebody else, somebody,
the best way for me to get to 90 hot dogs would be somebody else eating 88.
That's how you make some gains.
Okay.
So two questions off that.
Is 90 the goal?
Is 90 the number?
That's, that's the most I've ever eaten in an hour.
And it was, it was rough.
But, but the most I've ever eaten in 10 minute practice is 82.
Wow.
So, but it doesn't perfect conditions, perfect hot dogs.
I'm feeling, I'm feeling tits.
I'm feeling really good.
And so it's, who knows?
I definitely 80 is possible for me,
but it's more possible if somebody's pushing me.
Yeah.
Kobayashi will come back this year.
The end of this year is going to be a weird year for me because my,
my contract with major league eating and Nathan's is going to be over.
And so it'll be my first year in a long,
long time that I can actually eat against Kobayashi.
So I could, we could find,
me and him could find a way to compete.
Cause he'll never compete with major league eating again.
Cause they have these con, just the childish contract dispute,
but there's a chance that I might be able to eat against him.
Wow.
That's interesting.
So you're going to,
you're going to be a free agent for the first time really in your
professional career.
You get to, you get to see what else is out there.
I was joking around.
I was like, well, the live tour,
there'll never be like the,
the Saudi public investment fund will never sponsor a hot dog eating contest.
But I think if it's, if it's you against Kobayashi,
they're all beef, they're not pork.
As long as they're all beef hot dogs,
they might be all about it.
There we go.
I mean, that's,
that's the way to grow the game.
I would love to see you compete against Kobayashi because the rivalry you guys had,
I thought was really good for the sport.
Yeah.
People want to see the best compete and they don't want to see,
they don't want to see,
they don't want to see promoters and contract disputes getting the way of seeing the best.
Yeah.
So I was looking through some of your records last week after the competition
and seeing how,
how diverse your set of records is for eating.
What would you say though,
is the most impressive one,
which, which competition are you the most proud of?
Is it the hot dog eating contest?
Cause that's the one that's got the biggest spotlight.
Or I was looking at like the poutine and the,
the hard boiled eggs.
That seems like a really difficult one to have.
Hard boiled eggs was amazing.
Yeah.
141 and I think eight minutes.
That was,
it was almost,
it was beautiful.
They were just dancing down and I,
I love hard boiled eggs.
So they digested pretty quick,
but then my body absorbed everything.
And then,
then I started smelling like sulfur.
Yeah.
I remember the next day I got on the plane and it was hot in Louisville.
And I started sweating and it's, it's, it's stunk.
Awful.
It smelled like somebody died.
That's,
that's gotta be the worst plane trip ever sitting next to someone who just
ate 140 hard boiled eggs.
Yeah.
It's not me.
Like somebody probably tweet about that after they got off the plane.
They're like,
the guy next to me smelled like he ate 140 hard boiled eggs.
And it turns out they were probably right about this one.
Yeah.
The hard boiled eggs is awesome.
And also it's,
it's a kind of iconic cause cool hand Luke and cool hand.
That's one of the first kind of eating challenges in a movie.
And an older generation knows it and everybody loves hard boiled eggs.
So that's, that's an awesome one.
The poutine thing, 25 pounds of poutine.
And I was in Toronto for that.
And that one,
it's kind of a fluffed up record because they're, they're,
they count the gravy.
So we don't have to eat all the gravy.
So I probably only actually ate 21 pounds.
It was pussy.
It was, it was still,
that is such a comfort food.
I was just bloated and went to sleep and had amazing dreams.
Wait.
So when you eat something like that, like if you,
you said you love hard boiled eggs,
how long does it take for you to want the taste of that again?
Cause I would imagine it's like everyone has that one liquor that
they got drunk off of and puked when they were a kid or something.
And they could never drink it again.
Is that how it works with some of these eating challenges where
you're like, I don't want a hard boiled egg for another year.
You know,
hard boiled eggs wasn't bad cause it didn't make me sick.
I remember I did a crab cake contest and I,
when I got on stage, I was like, whoa, these, these crab tastes,
they smell like fish and they've been sitting out for a couple of
hours and, uh, and that, that one made me sick afterwards.
I lived, I was, and I could, and I love crab cakes,
but I really couldn't have crab cakes for a couple of years.
Damn.
It screwed me up.
Wait.
So I wanted to go back to one thing you said, uh, you kind of,
you kind of hinted at your own mortality there for a second as a, as an athlete.
You're 38, you're going to be 39 this fall.
Is there, is there an age that you think that you're not going to be able
to compete at this high of a level?
Is there, can you notice that the bounce back, like, is it similar to
any athlete where the bounce back is harder and as you get older,
it's harder to train and it's harder to get up for these things.
Yeah.
The bounce back is definitely harder longer.
Uh, it's easier for me to gain weight.
Uh, the weight that I put on from the contest, it stays on me longer.
The weight I put on from practice stays on longer, but it's,
I mean, that's to be expected.
Um, but I also, I also know my body better than ever.
And I have more resources than ever.
I have, I have a concierge doctor who run, will run my blood work
and brainstorm new ideas with me.
And, uh, so, so I, I, I have more resources and,
and I know my body better than ever.
So I'm going to be able to push it harder than I did when I was,
when I was 23 or 24.
And, uh, and, and, and something.
Yeah, I definitely know my body.
Uh, so I, I, I, I, that's why I admire Tom Brady.
He doesn't pretend to be the most, most physically fit person,
but he knows his body and he's able to make it work for him and,
and for the, and for the gig.
And that's what I'm going to do.
I'm not trying to be super athletic looking.
I'm trying to just do, do the, do my, do my job.
Going to get back to Joey Chestnut in a second.
Before we do, I want to talk to you about better help.
How well would you take care of your car if you had to keep
the same one your entire life?
That's how our brains work.
So why don't we treat them that way?
How we care for our minds affects how we experienced life.
So it's important to invest time and care into keeping them healthy.
Better help is online therapy that offers video, phone and even live chat
only therapy sessions.
So you don't have to see anyone on camera if you don't want to.
It's also much more affordable than in-person therapy.
You can be matched with a therapist in under 48 hours.
Best of all, our listeners get 10% off their first month
at betterhelp.com slash PMT.
That's better HELP.com slash PMT.
Better Help is a great sponsor.
I've heard from a lot of AWLs that have reached out,
started going to therapy with the help of Better Help
and they're better for it.
They really enjoy getting to get whatever it is.
It's weighing them down off their chest.
Had a lot of success stories come from Better Help.
If you've been thinking about therapy, this is a great way to start.
If you're nervous about going and talking to somebody in person,
you can do this all online.
And again, you don't have to see anyone on camera if you don't want to.
It's video, phone and even live chat only therapy sessions.
BetterHELP.com slash PMT.
And now more Joey Chaston.
Yeah.
You're on the JC12 method.
Yeah.
Wait, so Tom always says, you know, he wants,
he wants to play Doli's 45, which I think he's going to hit this year.
Is there a number that you want to play till?
Is there, is there a age that you're like, I want to win this at 50.
I want to win this at 55, whatever it may be.
I want to, as long as I'm healthy, you can count me in.
45 sound would be awesome.
But yeah, I really want to recover from this leg injury.
And so I can push my body hard again.
Like this whole leg injury, it screwed up.
I couldn't even get on a Peloton.
And so my cardio was all screwed up all year.
I couldn't even, I was winded during the contest this year.
I was breathing like a Batman through my mouth.
If you're breathing through your mouth, you're not eating.
Yeah.
And so, so I needed to get in better shape and so I can push harder.
Damn.
Yeah.
It does make sense though that, that being able to be in good cardio,
having good cardio performance is a big part of eating a lot
because obviously you need to be able to get down air
and you need to be able to breathe under control
to make all the rest of your muscles relax.
If you're in like a panic mode, I can see how that freezes everything up.
You're right.
Absolutely.
I was like, stay calm, don't panic, be happy.
It's like happy Gilmar.
I'm trying to find my happy place and just, yeah, relax.
I just got bummed out thinking about a world without Joey Chestnut
competing on July 4th.
I don't know.
I don't want to think about that.
Yeah.
I don't want to think about that.
Parish, banish the thought.
Yeah.
But I mean, it's, you know, every athlete has to think about the day
that they can't perform anymore.
I'm hoping more.
It's like 10, 12, you know, maybe, maybe just let us die before you quit.
I'm going away before you guys.
Okay.
Yeah.
What does your doctor say?
Like you, how much weight do you gain after a competition?
Is it, is your doctor like, hey, you're, this is bad.
This is really bad for you.
I'd imagine it has to be bad for you.
There's, there's been times where he runs my blood work right after a
contest and he says, oh, your cholesterol levels are a little bit high.
But if he runs my, runs my blood a little bit farther away from the
contest, three weeks away from a contest, everything looks really normal.
He's, he's, he's not really, my old doctor, she was worried about the
weight gain during the summer.
I would, I would do a contest during the summer, almost every week.
And I would put on 40 pounds during the summer.
Whoa.
She was really not happy with that.
And, but I've gotten a little bit smarter about being a little bit more
selective about the contest.
Like I think my next contest will be for raising canes.
I'm doing chicken fingers.
So I'm trying to space them out every three weeks.
Yeah.
And so it's, so I'm being smarter about how, how hard I pushed my body
and making sure I got the recovery period.
Wait, how many raising canes chicken fingers are you going to be able to
eat?
Because we, they're a sponsor of ours.
We love raising canes.
One love.
Yeah.
We, we, we were in New Orleans for the final four.
I, over like a five day period, we might, we might have you beat
because we ate so much raising canes.
I only get five minutes to eat.
So I'm trying to get 50 down in the five minutes.
I think you can do 50.
I, I, yeah, you got 50 in you.
I've, I've seen you go to work.
Not small.
Yeah.
I'm not joking.
Like over a four day period, I probably eat 70.
Yeah.
They're damn good.
They do a good job there.
So I'm going to, I'm, I'm am for that.
Are you going to get any of the bread, the, the toast that they have,
get it buttered on both sides.
If they, yeah.
Show up the competition.
That's the way to have it.
I'm not screwing around with sauce.
I'm not screwing around with bread.
I'm going for the, the most I can eat tender fingers in five minutes.
Is there any, any competition that you have refused to do, like a food
that you're like, I hate that food.
I will not eat it.
It's, it's not even that I hate it.
There's a raw oyster eating contest in New Orleans every year.
And I just can't bring myself to do it.
I know that I would eat so many that it would probably get me sick.
They're so salty in that, that slimy texture.
Just the thought of all that, just that, that goo in my stomach.
It just, it makes me nauseous.
You could probably eat.
I think you could eat a thousand oysters in an hour.
That's another thing.
Oysters, they come in different sizes.
So if they're the right size of oysters, yeah, definitely.
If there, if there are some of those big, big mama ones, it would slow me down.
It would be a little bit rougher, but yeah, small oysters.
Who knows?
Maybe I'll do it one of these days.
I'm always looking for a reason to go to New Orleans.
Yeah.
What's, what's the food that someone has you beat at right now that you're like
eyeing?
Because I know that each food is different and some, some eaters have like a specialty.
What's that, what's that competition that we can look out for?
It's like, this guy is just dominating milk right now.
And I got to get better at the milk category.
Yeah.
The last, the last couple of years there's, there's a wing fest in Buffalo and
attracts like 40,000 people.
And I think it's actually the last three years they had the contest I lost.
So I just, for some reason, I, I, every year I've been putting to better.
I put, I just haven't been able to put together a good contest.
It's probably because I, I party in Buffalo a little bit, but
dude.
Yeah.
That's one contest this year.
I'm going to put some work in and make sure I don't go out.
And yeah, that's, that's, I'm, it hurts because the people in Buffalo,
they love that content.
They're so proud of their Buffalo wings.
And then I, then I go there and I screw up and I don't,
I don't deliver an awesome number.
We have a big audience in Buffalo.
If you see Joey Chestnut out on the town the night before the Buffalo wing contest,
I want you to slap him in his face.
Tell him, go home, get some rest.
You've got work to do tomorrow.
Buffalo, it's a four AM city and all the bars have good bar food.
It's a, it's a fun one.
It's tough for me to stay in in Buffalo.
So speaking of that, I know that when last time we had you on five,
six years ago, I asked you about what, you know, what the fan situation,
the groupie situation is for the, for Joey Chestnut right now is, is Joey
Chestnut, you have, you have like a, you know, each city.
There's maybe some females are like, Oh, Joey's in town.
Got to hit him up.
I've been really good lately.
I'm actually engaged to get married.
Oh, all right, congrats.
Yes.
All right.
Wait.
So hold on.
So just at least are you going to tell your, your new fee?
I hope, you know, everything works out, but like, are you going to be like,
Hey, just don't break up with me a week before the hot dog eating competition?
You know, that was a rough one.
The only, I say it, the best part about Joey Chestnut is the only thing
that can beat Joey Chestnut is a broken heart.
That's the only time you lost.
Yeah.
That was, that was rough.
It's all right.
It all worked.
You know what?
After that happened, I went back to the drawing table and I came back
hungrier than ever.
And I realized, I love, I love winning more than I love, I love anything else.
Yeah.
But I love, I love Brie.
She's a, she knows that I travel a lot, but I'm not, I'm not, I'm not,
I'm not a jerk.
Wait.
Her name's, her name's Brie, you said?
Yeah.
That's perfect that she's named after cheese.
Yeah.
She's my stinky Brie.
Wait, does she cook?
Does she cook for you?
And does she have to like cook so much every time?
Or how does that work at dinner?
She does a great job.
She cooks some awesome.
Yeah.
She cooks like hot dogs for me for practice.
And she'll cook great food.
But she can cook 80 hot dogs faster than pretty much anybody ever seen.
That's, that's match made in heaven.
I love it.
I love it.
I want to talk about like how you got your start in professional eating,
because I've heard, you know, I've read a lot of stories about you.
You knew that you were a fast eater, obviously, like you would impress your friends.
But at what point did you realize I would like to dedicate my life to training to
become the best eater of all time?
It wasn't until I did my first contest and my little brother, my little brother
saw me after that.
And once I got on stage, I just loved it.
I was like, shit, I don't have to hold back.
It was a lobster eating contest.
I'd never even eaten lobster.
I didn't know what I was doing.
And I was 21 at the time.
It just, it was like, it was like true love, I guess.
Like, like, like, shit, I didn't know I love something this much.
And yeah, it was because all my friends knew I was a big eater.
But if I was in public, I didn't want to make it and really show off or
really show it because then it becomes like, I get embarrassed about it.
But when I was on stage for the first time, I didn't have to hold back.
I could, they were pushing me.
The audience was pushing me and I was like, this is it.
And then there was a contest two weeks later in Stockton, California.
I ended up winning that one.
And then, and there was a qualifier for Nathan's fourth of July contest.
And I won that.
And then I got third, Nathan's that year.
So it was, as soon as I did, did the first qualifier, the goal was like,
all right, I need to beat Kobayashi.
Yeah.
If I'm going to do this weird thing, I got to go all the way.
Wait.
So you say that you always were a big eater.
What is the weirdest thing?
I would imagine your friends knowing this, like any friend group, like, oh,
our, our friend has this incredible skill.
Would they, what's the weirdest thing your friends ever challenged you to eat?
Cause I'd imagine there's some very funny, like behind the scenes, private, you
know, like, Hey, Joey, you can't eat two pizzas tonight or something like that.
Well, yeah.
When I was in, uh, so I went to the, uh, the San Jose state and when I,
when I went to college, I was 17.
And for some reason they put me in the dorms with this, uh, 21 year old football
guy and he was, he was an offensive lineman and he, he could eat pretty good.
But, uh, uh, one day he, uh, brought home this giant burrito and he couldn't
finish it.
And I was like, dude, you can't, and I was giving him a hard time and he got
all mad.
And then he, so he went out and got me a burrito and tried to see if I could
eat it.
And I polished it off really, really, uh, comfortably.
And, uh, it was like, oh, it's, it's, uh, I definitely haven't, uh,
some sort of gift.
Yeah.
I would imagine like if I, if I were stumbled upon a 17 year old Joey Chestnut
and found out that you had that skill, I'd be like, let's go just like pool
shark people.
Let's go to like random places and be like, I bet, I bet, like, I bet my boy can
eat like four pizzas and like get, you know, a couple hundred bucks off everyone's
action.
It's, uh, I think the first time I was, uh, yeah, I was 17 still.
I was in the dorms and somebody had a bottle of mad dog.
And that was the first time I actually got paid to any, I was like, they're like, I
was like, oh, can anybody drink this whole bottle?
And I was like, for what?
And there's like five bucks.
And I, it was, don't do that at home.
I don't, it's a bad thing.
I disagree.
No, that's a great thing.
Mad dog is my favorite thing in the entire world.
That's a very college story.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There are certain things that bring me back to being in college and just thinking
about mad dog, uh, and chicken fingers and those things, uh, it brings me back.
There's your favorite flavor.
Mad dog.
Mine was the bling, bling, blue raspberry.
There was, there was cheese.
I'm not, I think there was a purple.
Yeah.
Purple rain.
I was very fond of.
Yeah.
That was a good one.
I liked the red one.
What was the red one?
Uh, there was a banana.
It was like bananas jubilee.
I think it was one of the red ones.
And then there was a fruit punch.
Yeah.
I liked the fruit.
I'm somewhat of a connoisseur of mad dog.
They sent me.
Check it out.
We got something here.
They sent me a special one in 2020.
The, uh, the limited edition pina col, pina col cooler.
It's delicious.
I've, I've had two sips of it.
You won't finish that right now.
I won't.
That's correct.
That's correct.
I've got to show the tape later.
If I was, if I was 17 and Joey Jaws just not dared me, I would absolutely pound this
thing right now.
Yes.
Um, so I mean you're, you're on top of the world right now.
Um, if there's anybody besides actually, you know what with Kobayashi big cat sidebar.
Yeah.
What if we did a rough and rowdy and, but the main event was Joey against to Kirill Kobayashi.
Yeah.
How much, how much we got to pay for that?
I have no idea.
You're smart.
I would do it for whatever reason, whatever he wants.
As long as even we can put it in prize, a purse.
Uh, I'm fair.
Uh, that'd be awesome.
Yeah.
Let's do that.
We should rowdy crowd.
Yeah.
I would like it.
Yeah.
That would be incredible.
Wow.
The gauntlet has been thrown down.
Yes.
Yes.
Kobayashi said you wouldn't do it though.
I can do it as long as it's after December.
I don't break contracts, but I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll wait until like I'm free man of
honor.
Um, all right.
So Joey, I had one last question for you.
It's our rowback question.
Use promo code take you get a 20% off your rowback gear, RHOBACK.com.
Q zips and hoodies also got a little last elasticity to it.
So good for probably competitive eating.
If you want to look good up there.
Uh, my last question is I always, so I was lucky enough to obviously be in the competition
in 2016.
And I always tell the anecdote beforehand in the room, uh, you were like, they look
like fast buns today.
I can't remember what exactly like, how can you tell a fast bun?
Do you know, like, is it touch?
Is it taste?
How do you know a bun is fast versus slow?
You can, you can touch it and some way with their slow, it'll be a really
almost spongy.
Okay.
And a little bit stale.
If it's fast, it's, it's, it still has a little bit of moisture in it.
And it's going to, it's going to get soggy really fast.
So, but, but if it's, if it's that spongy sponginess where you have to squeeze
it while it's in the water.
And in this, in the staleness, it ends up being kind of like sandpaper going down
your throat.
So the, so I can tell pretty quick right away if the buns have been sitting
out, uh, and then they're going to be a little bit stale and spongy versus
a little bit doughy and moist.
Was it fast buns or slow buns this year?
They're pretty slow this year.
And I knew going in, because luckily like there's the female contest right
before.
And so I, I was like, oh, their numbers are all down.
So it's going to be a little bit of a slow day.
Uh, it'll be a little bit harder.
So, and so I, but then, but some years when the girls kicked by it,
I'm like, oh, it's going to be, it's going to be good hot dogs.
And I get amped up.
I love it.
I love the idea of just seeing a bun and being like, oh, that's a fast bun
right there.
Yeah.
I get my eyes light up and my mouth is watering.
Like, oh yeah, it's on.
Is there a, is there a drug problem in professional eating?
Like could, is there somebody that just goes out there and gets baked his shit
beforehand?
No, it's, uh, yeah, I've tried everything.
If you're baked, you lose a lot of motivation.
Uh, you lose that intensity.
The best thing I just, I get amped up on caffeine beforehand.
Uh, really strong coffee with espresso.
And I just try to get amped up and that gets this.
I don't know.
It really kind of aggravates my stomach.
So it's, it gets the juices flowing a little bit.
Uh, but yeah, there's, there's, there's no, uh, I don't think there's any effective
in the answers for, uh, for eating.
Oh, that's amazing.
Uh, my last, last question is just like casually.
Well, I guess it wouldn't be casually, but if you're out with friends, how many
large pizzas could you eat?
Oh, could I eat?
Uh, jeez, I love it when I'm at a bar and it's like they're, they're bar pies
and it's so easy just to order another one.
Uh, so it's, it's, I mean, I'll go through five of those while everybody's drinking
and it's very casual.
And then they're not, they're not huge pies.
They're like the 12 inch bar pie.
Yeah.
And, uh, then they, there's going on so easy.
Beer and pizza is, oh damn.
It's, it's, it's, yeah, there's a reason why it's, uh, it's so popular.
It's your body, our bodies are made for it.
I love the passion that you still have for beer and pizza.
That's, that's great to see.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Well, Joey, thank you so much.
You are the greatest American ever lived.
Uh, you're, you know, every, every fourth of July, I'm like, I, I think I've tweeted
the same thing like five years in a row that we're lucky enough to live at the same time
as Joey Chestnut.
And I meant, I mean that.
And, uh, let's hope you're doing it for another decade plus.
Oh, thank you.
I'll be pushing and great.
It's great to be on with you guys again.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
And let's do the rough and rowdy thing.
That's, we got to do that.
Man.
You know, that guy is really wiry.
I would have to put some work in it.
Oh yeah.
It's not, not fighting.
Maybe either fight them or, uh, what if you fought, what, what if you fought and in between
each round, you had to eat five hot dogs?
That would be great.
It's like chest boxing.
Have you seen that?
Yeah.
Except we get different rounds.
There's two minutes contest and two minutes of boxing.
What round?
We'll figure it out.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
That would be, yeah, we, yeah.
Maybe we start maybe first round's milk, second round's boxing, third round's hot dogs.
Oh, I think this is it.
I think we have a plan.
This is magic.
I think it might be.
It might go hot dogs, milk, then boxing.
Oh man.
All right.
We'll, we'll, we'll put some brains to it.
We'll, we'll definitely be in touch.
So we appreciate it.
Joey.

Part of my bake.
Mount Rushmore with Roan.
Back.
Was this the third part of my bake?
Third or fourth?
Fourth, if we count D&D last time.
This was actually, it was pretty crazy coming inside after being outside.
Yeah, it's a whole different vibe inside.
It's different.
I was thinking that like I sat down at this chair and I started to think of different
things for the Mount Rushmore.
My brain was activated and I was like, man, it's because we're in like a different space
right now than we were outside.
And then I realized, no, maybe just because now you're really fucking hot.
Yeah.
We're really high in the lights are on.
All right.
Back.
Yeah.
Gorilla glue.
Who are the other guests on the, the part of my bakes before?
None.
Oh, really?
Nick and D&D.
Yeah.
I don't know.
That's not what he asked.
What do you mean?
Yes.
Who are the other guests on part of my bake before?
Yeah.
I said, if you count the last D&D episode, the Nick.
Yeah.
But that wasn't part of my bake.
But yes, I see what you're saying.
Yeah.
Got it.
We didn't have anyone else though, right?
I don't think so.
I think it's just been.
There's one in boys.
There was the one time in Vegas right after we got tricked by the event or Holyfield catfish,
which I still for the life of me wish I could understand what that person was trying to
do.
They just, some guy sent us an email and was like, Hey, you want to interview a Vander
Holyfield?
I'm his agent.
And we're like, yeah, we're in.
He's like, cool.
Well, he's actually staying at the same hotel as you.
So let's do it.
Four o'clock, like this room at the hotel and we went and or no, he's coming to our room
and we just sat there ready to go and like, we sat there for an hour in our hotel room,
not a big inconvenience.
And then he emailed and he was like, just kidding.
I made this up.
Damn.
That's pretty good.
Who's that?
And the, remember the fake Mike leech that we interviewed?
Yeah.
And we didn't realize that was, yeah, that guy got us good for a while.
Yeah.
But yeah, the Vander Holyfield, like how he pranked us and we didn't have to go anywhere.
It's kind of a shitty prank.
Yeah.
He didn't get you.
Right.
You had to relax.
We had to go some like, like a half hour drive somewhere.
He has no like video evidence of us being, no, it's just us sitting in the room.
Just really ethical about the fact that you got pranked here.
Just being honest about it.
Yeah.
He didn't have to tell anybody.
Exactly.
I almost respect that in a weird way.
I think that was also the first Bubba incident because you got his entire hotel room robbed.
Oh yeah.
I also saw Rick with, you know, really, did he come on here?
Definitely wasn't going down.
That wasn't a joke, by the way.
That was just a statement of fact.
He can't come on you.
That was just a question I asked about every coach you see.
Everyone knows that.
All right.
So, Mount Rushmore.
Wait, what was the other one we did?
We did one where we, it was just like high boots.
Yeah.
You did Doritos and salsa.
Yeah.
You ever used Doritos as a chip to dip into the salsa?
No.
No.
No.
You should try.
I still haven't actually.
I feel like I'm going crazy that you guys have never done that before.
No.
Into queso, but not into salsa.
Yeah, into salsa.
Not into...
You've always been wild.
Straight out.
I've always looked at you differently from that moment.
Where does it come from?
Where's the inspiration?
I know we've already mentioned him a couple times on the show, but shout out to Asu for
our, Hank, you want to guess what our, I asked him to go into Dwayne Reed to get some snacks
for the road.
What are the two snacks he came out with?
He actually was like, I'm going to Dwayne Reed, do you need anything?
I was like, yeah, grab some snacks, pretzels, chips.
Load us up for a road trip.
Load us up.
Guess what he got?
Where did you see?
Everything in there.
The whole store.
Snacks?
Yeah.
No candy.
Well, I asked for snacks.
He got snacks.
It was very broad about him.
Jerky?
No.
No.
Popcorn.
No.
No.
He got Pringles.
Plain Pringles.
And red Pringles.
And yellow Lay's.
Lay's original.
And it was the most unoriginal.
No.
No one opened either one of them.
That disgusting grease bucket of chips.
It was almost like.
Those are fucking terrible.
It's like he got him wrong as a joke.
Zero flavor.
Dude, road halfway, halfway here, he's like, did someone request these?
Because I wanted the rip on him, but I didn't know if it was someone's preference.
It would be rude.
Sadass just literally nothing was going through his head.
He just had an empty brain going in there and saw brands he recognized.
He's like these selections in there are so bad.
They didn't have anything.
All they had was this.
I was like, dude, they have Pringles in there.
He's like, yeah, I know I got Pringles and it's not even sour cream and honey.
It's not.
It's not blue.
It's not salt and vinegar.
He didn't think dude.
He didn't apply anything.
He didn't apply himself in that situation.
That's like, you don't want to be like a judgy person.
But if I saw someone just I was just walking down the street and I saw someone just fucking
going like this inside of a yellow Lay's bag.
I don't.
I never want to know that person.
I have no personality.
At least personality of any snack.
I honestly didn't even think that they sold those yellow Lay's anymore.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Good stuff.
No.
What do you do with it?
You don't dip it in anything.
You could pour it on a sub maybe.
It falls apart in your fingers on its way to your mouth.
I think it's a good.
Good chip at least.
Dude.
I wouldn't get it as a snack in a gas station.
So many.
I would not get it as a gas station, but I would always get it as they like sighed at
me.
Get a ruffle.
Get a barbecue.
Get a sour.
Yeah.
I wouldn't go in the gas station and come out with Kettle.
Get a kettle.
What about Kettle?
We are in a kettle.
Yeah.
Kettle.
You know who gets regular Lay's people in jail.
When you're in jail as your snack is sure like here's a dry ham sandwich and here's
a bag of regular plain classic Lay's.
Yes.
Probably hype.
Yeah.
Right.
In that sense.
We're neglecting our jail.
Wait.
Our jail audience is probably fucking punching air right now.
All right.
So we're going to do this guy's are misrepresenting it.
There's nothing on the wall.
Yeah.
There is nothing on the wall.
Anyway.
Oh.
That's right.
Have you heard everything we said?
This is like an always sunny moment.
He's literally sitting right there.
Sass would you like to defend yourself?
Come on the mic and defend yourself.
Sass is introduction to part of my dick.
I think I think you really just know it was right there.
Yeah.
I knew it was right there.
Oh dude.
He's like fucking blending into the house.
He's fucked up.
All right.
I don't.
I didn't want the Lay's chips.
That's why no one open Lay's chips.
Who would want them?
I don't know.
You said get a big bag of chips or a big bag of pretzels.
I couldn't find pretzels.
I said pretzels or chips.
You said.
And then I said snacks.
And you said big bags.
And I said snacks.
You said big bags.
Also there's tons of pretzels in this store.
Yeah.
They had chocolate covered pretzels and that was all they had.
It was a fuck you to us.
I mean.
I got the Pringles.
You saw two things you like I'm done.
I got the Pringles.
I got the Pringles which I think everyone can agree.
Pringles are an amazing chip which Pringles.
Pringles are red?
Yeah.
Pringles red.
You said that.
You said sour cream and onion.
All Pringles are good.
No.
No.
No.
It's weird.
Thank you.
All the Pringles is one of the Pringles kids.
Out there.
But you said actually there was a絡man over there.
There was a lot of Pringles onanicMAX.
Something quicker than Pringles was.
That's awesome.
Why?
It's like visceral.
Cuz everyone can do everything they want.
Yes-
You did't lie.
No.
The優 Supreme Supreme.
That's the Severl.
No one was eating the Pringles except the fucking Yollays.
No!
That's actually one of the nonetheless.
That's actually the Estes trempend right.
I everyone here knows that I will eat literally anything.
And I didn't even eat those.
I don't NILAzE either.
I was gonna get like crackers. I was gonna get some like yeah, but then I was like you guys are gonna make fun of me
If I got crack no, dude, I was gonna risk it
But I was like I know who's gonna want these
You gave me a and I remember being in the store being like this is a lot of pressure and you make you give me a direct order
You said chips or pretzels. They didn't have pretzels. They didn't have pretzels. So I got two bags of chips
Have you have you ever eaten crackers was not original. Yeah, I don't like them
Why didn't did it I don't know we don't all have the same
Palates, but it didn't occur to you to like buy a snack that you like I that's why I bought the Pringles
So you think you think so low of me that you're like big cat no you said big bag of chips and I grabbed a bit
I was gonna be
I was gonna
They didn't have to see those what I they don't have anything at that doing I think it just speaks to the barely
I have drinks you secretly hate all of us. No deep down inside. Yeah, I was a lot of pressure
He's like I'm so different from these people. I would never get them the same things
It was a lot of pressure and I was like well, I'm gonna stick to the list
They don't even know about this. I'll stick to what big cat asked. Okay. There are definitely pretzels in that place
There are no there are but I will buy you pretzels. Yeah, I was looking at I was on my hands and knees
Looking at the bottom I'll I can't wait to like go in when we're back in Manhattan
It's just literally like a display right as you walk in this just like lays and Pringles
Then they have a whole aisle of cheezus
Wait
No, no, no you said you said yeah, I said I'm gonna go Dwayne Reed. Do you want anything?
I said yeah, I get a big bag of pretzels or chips snacks for the ride
I did say you gotta follow the spirit of the law and the letter of the law
I wouldn't be like let me you don't want to get someone snack order. I was gonna come back with no chips or pretzels
I think I think I would have gone either of those
And I would if I was me what he got in weathens
Stop all right. I think I think you saw a discount next to those items, too. I think you're like fuck
See you at the bank
Okay, all right now that we got all that business out of that was important
Dude, he is totally blending into that couch. Yeah, he was hiding
That was very funny. All right, uh part of my bake Mount Rushmore
The topic is things people forget fun facts very broad. Yeah some dispute Hank. I feel like he's
Did Jake give you anything Jake has given me some stuff love all the audience guess
I only have three right now. So I'm kind of fucked go off the top
This is really just like the most like open for interpretation
Glory of all time. Correct. Correct. All right. So Ron as our guest you're gonna start and then we're gonna come back to Hank
He'll go twice and then back around snake draft. Let's not get lost in the snake. Okay, cool
My first fun fact is that Thai food is only prevalent in America
because of a directive by the Thai government and they in the early 90s wanted to spread Thai culture
as a form of soft power and so there's Thai food all over completely
Disproportionate to the amount of Thai people in the United States. That's crazy. It's like they have an army
Yeah, their army instead of bullets gives you like peanuts in your pad time. I mean kid noodles
I just say that it fucking worked. Yeah
We want to go to Thailand. I love the Thai like it's like the 10th or 11th most populous Asian country
I think the one right after it's like Myanmar or something like that. We're not eating Myanmar
Holy I didn't sweet Thai. It's a Psyop. Yeah, Thailand. It's a Thai up. Why can't I say Thailand?
Thailand Tyra the top five Thailand is 11th
Something like that 10 or like 9th 10th 11th or something like that. That's crazy
Yeah, I might just be making stuff up. No, but with the the number of the population, but so it was like a government law
It was there like we want to make sure we want to spread some some power and we want to like
Improve the image of Thailand throughout the world and we're gonna do it through through cuisine through some food
That's like what they did with the Nazare in the Garrett McNamara
Oh, I have like that was the tourism paid for him to come surf to make videos
Yeah, and then for like more tourists to come in a weird way
Isn't that like what the United States has done like unintentionally with hamburgers and shit McDonald's and and Mickey Mouse
Like our culture soft culture. Yeah, we're just sneaking into Euro Disney next thing
You know, they're like, well, we're not gonna fight a war against those guys. They made bugs bunny. Yeah
Thailand is number 11. It's 11
It goes China India Indonesia Pakistan Bangladesh Japan
Philippines Vietnam
Turkey Iran
Thailand and what's after Thailand Myanmar Myanmar South Korea
Iraq is in I guess
But we're never having I don't really get that
Yeah, I can't it's also fun facts. Really fun fact dude. Oh
People also forget that people have forgotten that's not about Thai food. Thank thank you
Yeah, yeah, that was like that was incredible. They did that. They like sat down like what's the best part of our country?
Oh, yeah, it's our bomb ass food. We but does that mean that like Myanmar might have just as good food and we're not
No, because their government isn't pushing the cuisine like that
They might have the and then you know what if it's like at all similar to Thai food people be like, oh, yeah, it's basically Thai
Yeah
Does it boy? You should have sent your chef soldiers across the world planted their flag
You do that Thai food that Thai place in Brooklyn Thai holic. No, I just like the name too because it makes Thai holic
Yeah about Thai food
When they have when they have the like little peppers next to the dishes symbolizing like what's mild and what's spicy
They've got different levels of peppers. What do you think is the universal code for like the hottest pepper?
Peppers on a menu. I was thinking like four peppers next week feels like the most. Yeah, I think it's four, too
I think if it's five, that's overdoing it. Yeah, if it's three that
Everybody be like I could eat three peppers and if it's four, they're just jacking off the ball
Yeah, which is the greatest scoring system of all time
Why did he do five?
Why not we're perfect. What do you think it should have been I don't know it has nothing to do with five Olympic rings
Yeah, what what's he just like five five balls because it's half of ten. Yeah, it's like easy to understand
Yeah, I want to steal days. Do you think it'd be like like how many balls are in a on a pool table 10?
15 plus the Q we and we did forget that I would have done 16 balls
I would have done it would have been funny if you did like one balls
Yeah, but it's like still plural like I give this up balls. Yeah, there's a balls or no balls
Ball or balls
Good fun fact Ron. Yeah PFT
okay, um
I'm gonna go with
The difference between sea lions and seals is sea lions have external ears
So when you see a smooth
Sea lion looking thing if it's got ears, then it's a sea lion wait was that did you see that video them attacking the people on the beach?
That's what made me think about it. Yeah, that was a sea lion because I had an ear
Do they just have like a human ear on the side of their head?
I'm just picturing a human ear on a seer
It looks like a shrunken cat ear like the smallest little cat ear really yeah, I guess that was a fun fact
No, that was a good fun fact because I actually never I've never thought about that and now I would I didn't even know
They had external ears and you say it again just so I can kind of you know cement it into
This is like alligators, which I do lines have external ears seals have internal
Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay. That's fun. I like that
All right, my fun fact it is a little different than your guys. I guess a little more dark, but
I mean people forget Matthew Broderick killed a person
Yeah, yeah, I did you know that I don't know if I forgot that because I never knew yeah, he killed a person
Was what he was driving on the wrong side of the road in England and he killed he killed like it was like a mom and her daughter
And he killed the daughter. Yeah. Yeah, just like no one no one talks about it
After Ferris Bueller, I think it was has to have been can you look at a key fact check for me Jake?
1987 yeah had to have been after Ferris Bueller. He was untouchable Jake come read about it and then come tell us
Cuz I actually I this is one of those fun facts
I just have though just throw out there every now and then it would be like what?
And I actually haven't really read like the whole story. Imagine
You're Matthew Broderick today. You just listen you're a big like part of my take podcast
Oh
Yeah, dude first
Damn right after the movie though. When did the movie come out like yeah, it was right
Yeah, we see so he was driving on the wrong side was that he was he was sleepy
He was confused cuz it's England. Yeah. Well, he said it was he was sleepy or something. It's a very succession like and he just fucking
Yeah, those sounds and everybody. Yeah, it was it was news
Yeah, I think I think Jake you got it. You want to come you get arrested towards I think so I again
I didn't have never
I just have in my pocket that I just I don't really know his girlfriend at the time. Okay, and they were driving on a rainy day
Good
They were driving on a rainy day and it was there was a downpour
Stopped at a gas station got back on the road. The pavement was still slick and
The women who died were on a family outing a 63 year old widow
And her
What I thought it was one
Fuck I might have a downer. I'm sorry
That's crazy, right, I mean it's a weird fun fact
Well broader it also sustained a sizable injury
So
I'm just gonna leave. All right. Thank you, Jake. Oh, all right, so maybe not that fun
We got Jake to read off a grizzly account of yeah homicide, so there's that
All right, you're Hank my mind's a little different as well
We've run the gamut. I mean
Food Psyop of actual fun fact about animals and then Matthew brought your killing to people
Scott con the guy from entourage. Yeah, okay is James cons son. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, that blew my mind
Like ease like co-agent at the end
11 I saw watching you know, he's
Yes, yes, yes, wait
Hank, oh, that's that's James Kahn
Are you guys doing a bit you guys didn't know that no, I didn't know I had no idea
I have not thought of that guy. He's just that guy to me. That's what yeah
I saw a picture of him when James Kahn like passed away or something. It was like a it was actually a Scott Kahn fan account
It was like Scott Kahn must be so sad about his dad. I was like
There's it was a Scott Kahn fan
How many followers?
31,000. No, he's like 21,000
Like yeah, like Hawaii 5-0 and yeah, I know his face, but I never would be like he's never been like a leading guy
He was in the oceans 11. He was one of the 11. Yeah
He's a good actor. I think he's in Las Vegas. He was in the into the movie with with Jessica Alba and
Paul Walker
Joyous when you realize that those two dudes are related just that moment is fucking a great moment
Yeah, Scott Kahn cool as fuck. I just can't believe you didn't know that everybody knew that no
I'm learning a little bit about myself people forget people maybe forgotten that maybe that's in the recesses of their minds
Bring it to the forefront. What is this?
Dude, my next fun fact is whoa, whoa, he hasn't been anything since 2018. Oh, it's a snake
Maybe he's a family grown. Oh
He's gone in 60 seconds
Great movie part of my fantastic enemy of the state. I feel like I saw that one. Yeah, what happened? Is that it?
Will Smith will Smith bong water
He played the bong
1998 American black comedy film directed by Richard Sears and starring Luke Wilson Alisha wit Amy Locan Brittany Murphy Jack black and Andy Dick
Star-studded a pretty good cast. Okay. Really good cast. Wow. It's about a stoner
Hank
This the salt in this one's from Jake
The average American generates nearly 4.5 pounds of trash each day
What?
Yeah, that's a that's good for the average amount
Wait, that's a lot of trash. I feel I immediately start thinking chicken bones, and I don't know why
Like all in wings. Yeah, I bet our average is way higher
Cartoon character
But like whether this table on average is higher than that or I think we're above
All right, so you wake up you take a shit. That's trash. That's two pounds toilet paper
Wait, is it trash? It's just toilet paper. There will be the trash there not your own the combination
No, I don't think you're shit. We're your shipy trash. I guess I think yeah
I think your shit counts as trash. I guess that would make sense Jake peas a lot. Yeah
I do you know you eat lunch bag throw it out. Yeah
It's usually something that comes with a bag and like either way too few napkins or way too many naps. Correct
Correct, and like the flimsiest fork. Yeah, um, sometimes you'll have some heavy-ass trash packaging or like
Fucking clothes you're getting rid of yeah, think about like Christmas. Oh my gosh offloading like your tree
Yeah, that's just so much trash. I mean we had everything
Delivered from like Amazon that all comes in that's a lot of trash
Fuck only 4.5. That's not as low now. Yeah, we think I think I'm probably at like six or seven
I generated a ton of recycling. Yeah. Yeah
We should weigh our trash every day just like your chicken bones your poop
Just put it all in a trash bag do painters Bob and I were talking the other day about how
Like when it comes to what was that thing that we're you know?
Yes, yes
I don't think we're cycling real yeah
Yeah, but we're saying that like 99% of it. No, I think it's I think it's mostly Fugazi
But yeah, dude, I'm the other way
I think that trash isn't real and they sort out the recycling for you like they have magnets sucking up tin shit out of you
You'll find this I like it costs more energy to like do the recycling than they're actually oh
Oh, I think that it's like the metal and stuff that sometimes gets recycled, but most of it doesn't actually get recycled
Yeah, they just it's not recycling. They just are throwing into the special very deep dump. Yeah
If you have a job where you have to like do both of them you do your job in half the time
Which I've done before where you just throw it all out. Oh, yeah
Yeah, that's a good point. I think I'm done with recycling
It's a fucking scam. Yeah, it dumps kind of what the funny thing is it takes me like literally point five seconds
My day and now I'm pissed off to know that I haven't been like everything
I was doing. Yeah, you're doing nothing. How many seconds have I wasted over my life?
Recycling dumps are kind of a bummer when you think about them. Yeah. Yeah, where are they? I never see him
Landfills. Yeah, they're just tucked away. Yeah, I've got the tracks
They're like hills on the side of the highway when you see a random hill. Yeah, it's usually a landfill, right?
You just gotta know like nobody can ever walk on this place for like the next thousand years
That's a bummer, but there's probably good shit in there. Yeah, deep there. Yes, you're right
Yeah, you could probably make a lot of money. There's good shit if you did if you're willing to dig
Yeah, what do you think is the most valuable thing ever thrown out?
Probably baseball and yeah, I mean buried treasure something like that
Yeah, someone like throwing a painting away with like a bunch of fucking money in it. Oh
I want to find one of those
All right, we thank your second one. No, it was a second one. Okay. All right. My next one is
Einstein
Smartest guy alive fucking married his cousin. Mm-hmm. What a fuck. How is that? How is he?
He's an idiot. How is he the smartest guy alive and he fucked his cousin?
That makes no sense. It's it's bizarre. It's also crazy. I think that like the theory of relativity
At the exact same time like FDR was also fucking his cousin. Yeah, and married to his
No, they were
Yeah, but I'm saying did they not know it was bad or that they were I I don't know
I guess back like
Yeah, like what but how can you be the smartest man alive and be like
You know how big the universe is and you can only find your cousin to fuck
Like what how does it make sense? He's not that smart in my opinion. He's an idiot. Yeah
He wasted his brain power. What if she was really hot though? Well, let's see a picture like really hot
Okay, she's super
So it's Elsa Einstein yeah, it's wife. He was also his first cousin first cousin and he cheated on her a lot
Yeah, okay
At least he cheated on her
Dude the first cousin dude, I wonder if he was maybe this is his first wife does his first wife
Oh, she's not she's not first cousin. Wait, so his his first wife was not his first cousin
Maleva marriage. No, so he he divorced a non-cousin. Yes
He was like, yeah, you're not this isn't too incestuous enough for me
I need to fucking wait we're Eleanor and and Franklin D. Were they I think you were they first first cousins
I think yeah, damn first cousins is crazy like that was that imagine trying to do that and run for office now. I mean
My work
Why
Dude, he divorced but what if I like I wonder if he's like what if he was like the product of cousins and like
Happened to his brain and it was just like that's like that's how I'll say if Albert Einstein's brain was the result of
Cousins fucking cousins and we should get back. Yeah
He's been downgraded for me
Unless there was a method to the
Frankie D and Eleanor first cousins
They probably were what freaks crazy
Eleanor one of the most handsome first ladies we've ever had but she was just riding with him while he had some leg things going on
She was like we're gonna put a cousin removed
Oh
Einstein first cousin is
Disgusting imagine being after you are listening to the podcast like no
God damn it
What even is your fifth cousin? You're probably my fifth cousin. Yeah, right?
Cousins are crazy. That doesn't exist. Yeah, all right your next fun fact
My next things people forget my next fun fact is that New York City is
farther east of
Washington, DC than it is north of Washington, DC and then that just got me thinking about maps. Oh, dude those things
Fuck me up. Wow. Wow
There are parts of Virginia that are farther west than Detroit, Michigan. Yes. Yes, Atlanta, Georgia is
Farther east than Detroit, Michigan. No farther farther west. Is that right? Yeah, it's just I think so
We we grew up looking at these fucked up maps and they're I don't think I understand direction because of it
Cuz you're flying over the ocean. You're not just going in a direction. You're like going around
You're like going. Yeah, you're looping. Yeah, Atlanta, Georgia is farther west in Detroit
That makes no sense like when you think of like maps and where things should be mm-hmm cuz like Georgia's
Touches the ocean. We just need to adjust it a little bit in the frame just adjust the US and make it kind of up and down a
Little bit. Yeah, I feel like Michigan is like right in the middle of the country. It but it's not even close
That's wild. Yeah, Michigan's not even close to the middle of country. Yeah, that's bullshit. The middle country is what like Western, Nebraska
Is it? Yeah, which is so far away from I let's let's figure out what's going on out there middle of I'm gonna say
Is it Kansas or Nebraska? I was gonna say like East
Nebraska is where I'm thinking
Southeast Nebraska, Oklahoma
You might be right Texas is big Jake. It's actually called Lebanon, Kansas. Okay. Oh, yeah, I was in the Bruce Springsteen ad member
All right, Lebanon, Kansas, holy fuck that's so far away
Lebanon, Kansas
Lebanon, Kansas to Detroit, Michigan is
949 miles
13 hours if you go from Detroit to the middle of the country, it's 13 and a half so the lion should be in the NFC East
Yeah, yeah, I'll take him. Yeah. Yeah, agreed. We need the lines and take the Cowboys out. Yeah, Cowboys
Begin
There are cuz there's a bunch of those map ones that just could blow your mind dude
How about how about the Arizona Cardinals being in the NFC East for a while? Why? Yeah, that was crazy
That didn't make any sense for the Bucks were in the NFC central. Yeah, the Rams. Yeah
All right
What's your who's up? Rones up. We're I'm googling weird map stuff
Oh
Giants Giants draft pick last year Aziz ojolari is the descendant of a Nigerian king
His grandfather was named Prince twins
7-7 and he was called that because he was the sole survivor of his parents seven sets of twins
What he was the sole survivor of seven twins
That dude's a beast wait 14
Yes, 14
14 kids. Yes 14 kids and they all in they all died. He was the sole survivor
I don't think I I don't know if I burp. I don't think I burp kill him
I don't know that would be sick to that would be sick
I mean if 13 if you have like 13 of your brothers and sisters die and you're still around like yeah
You probably killed yeah
I
Then you also become king conveniently. Yeah
Yeah, yeah, thanks, Birian, but if he was the only baby that survived. Yeah, team. That's like that's the same
That's a beast Prince twin seven seven imagine if Einstein had 13 siblings and they all died. He'd be so bummed
That's a good fun fact he'd be living
Prince twin seven seven that was he's great ojolari and he's also like an artist. He's a sick artist. He's nice with it, dude
my next fact
My a Mayo Clinic study showed that the digestion process moves faster in men
It takes 33 hours mouth to butt in men and
47 hours for women so men are digesting 14 hours faster than women and
We just get it done. Whoa. Wow. I
It's a girl's on poop. Yeah, I think literally they don't poop actually they don't
Paratively they take way less. They don't poop. They poop like that's what like fit as much. Yeah, like we poop 75%
Faster than they do. Yeah, we're just ripping through
Dude, that's crazy. Yeah
That I would never have I just thought why wouldn't it all be I guess this like
Makes sense though because like guys are we always be shitting
Exactly, and you can't blame us. Yeah, we're just it's it's not our fault
We have to shit so much more it might seem like your man shitting more. Yeah, it's by logic. Yeah, I do shit a lot
Yes, same name name every day. I'm 24 hours. I shit twice a day. Yeah
Regular pretty stand easy like sassus chip order
Fuck
Bummed out to
I'll get him plain chips
All right, P.m. To your next one. Uh my next one Dolly Parton
She wrote the songs Jolene and I will always love you on the exact same day. Whoa
I like two of the best
I'd say 50 songs in the United States like music history Jolene sneaky like one of the most covered songs today
Yeah, and I listen to it every time. Yeah, and it always yeah
It always hits whenever you hear it fucking and what it's like two minutes long. She just whips through it. Yeah

He said a woman's name. Yeah, let me get my notebook. That was a good fun
They must have been going through it. She must have been going through it that day
Yeah, yeah terrible day if I were her I would have just tried to do the exact same thing like
Replicate that day as much as you can for the rest of your life, dude
It was so wasn't and I could always love you. That's like a good song though
So it's Jolene, but just think about like she was going through it like positive
Yeah, she was pissed off at Jolene who was trying to steal her man
But then she was like thinking about her man like I think she I think she found out about Jolene had the conversation
With Jolene Jolene told her husband. They broke up. Yeah, Dali part was like I'll write a song for you on your way out
That's an insane amount of creative output one day crazy just insane. I
Will yeah, we'll never do anything that substantial let alone twice in one day Paul Bisson that you had that one week
I think it was three live streams and like three podcast. Yeah
Okay, my next one is a trivia
And I actually don't know if I fully remember it
I'm gonna try to remember it. Okay. There are four college teams

Take it with you, everyone
Thank you. Thank you. Hank gave zero to that one. I was thinking
Think through through all there's just too many I was too many calm
But it's fun to think through all because it's always like you think Stanford you think
Live actually when I first asked it. I was like, oh too late and the same thing. Yeah, it's green the wave
Yeah, wait, wait, isn't there's only one college mascot. That's a female. Oh

No, no, those are our females. I think I
Think it's the blue hens. Yes. That's right. It is Delaware and
Chicks the bitches. Yeah, I think your last two
This the first one's more like people forget I was watching I watched Donnie Brasco last night for some reason like never
We're seeing it before
And I just people forget that like they're used to not be cell phones and people used to have yes
No internet phone booths
talking phone booths and like do you remember
No, no, I was watching with my mind like it's just I was like damn like
No, this this movie like it's hard to watch this movie because like I can't relate to this whatsoever
This guy that's like half that movie. Yeah, he's making calls. Yeah, like people are gonna call
I mean we already get called old enough
But I'm sure PFT remembers Ron might even of like being given like a quarter
Yeah, like we're all we need you when you need to be picked up call
I used to after football practice
We had a payphone at our school and I would go to it and my my dad was like, hey
I don't want you using a quarter every day. So I did the 1-800 collect yeah, and then my name was back
Half the commercials on TV were for like
PAPE like yeah, call like 1-800 collect. Yeah, I call ATT like all these things that were just like like
Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah
Bones of what are the what's what's happening next? Yeah, we're gonna do that
You ever watch an episode of Seinfeld and microchips this entire episode could have been solved at that one one phone
Yeah, yeah, or yeah, like when they lost their car. They could have just beeped it
Yeah, or like you're I there's an app that shows you where your cars parked. Yeah
Even just like the way they like the kitchen. I was like, oh
Just look at gross. Why?
It's like an old kitchen like I don't know icebox. I kind of like that kitchen. No the
Nim I mean
Kitchen Seinfelds. Oh, no, no, no
It was a very
My favorite scene that movie is in Christmas when they give each other the same amount of money
All right, what's your last one?
We'll go with another Jake and what these are the most random these aren't even do what about your local fact you said
I mean, it's not a really fun fact, but it's one fact I guess
Situated is the most Irish town in America if you Google it
Whoa, it's got the Google backup percentage wise if you just Google the most Irish town in America just pops up such a message
Like they have spirit like a lot of spirit. No percentage wise. It's all Irish people
The situation would have like that on their welcome to situates on
They had it's like up the Irish Riviera
Thought but it doesn't say like the most Irish on America
But it's like a good little fun fact and people like no way and then like Google
There are a lot of native Irish people or is it just the Irish descendants Irish descendants not actually I Irish people
Probably Irish flags everywhere a lot Irish flags, so yeah, I mean it clearly wasn't a hit like you guys are no
That's what you're talking about. I know I didn't know that and that's also like a crazy claim because like you said people
That's fun to say it and then people like no way and you're like, yep
Definition of a fun how many days is
Two people multiple lady that they do the st. Patrick's day day and then the parade day like mm-hmm
That's like the fastest way to for like a city to be put on the map
Like I've heard like have you ever heard that Charleston, South Carolina has like the best st. Patrick's day. It's Savannah, Georgia
Savannah, yeah, Georgia does just a random city like if I were the mayor of a city like we're gonna have the best this crazy Marty
Yeah
You gotta try us
The best Halloween, yeah, right you got the most chocolate in America. Yeah great claim to fame
Yes, all right my last fun fact
I actually need some help with this because I know it, but I don't actually know the reasoning behind it
I think PFT you might that there are just caves in America with cheese in them from
Yeah, no, I'm serious like from who they store like cheese from the Reagan era
I'm pretty sure. Yeah, like the price of like, do you know what I'm talking about?
Are you talking? Are you talking about like places in America like businesses that are trying to age cheese? No, no, no, no
No, the government has like cheese on like reserve currency. Yes, we have like reserve cheese on deck like our strategic oil
Yeah, we're just like in breaking case of emergency. Here's all our cheese. Mr. President break out the cheese
Again, this is like one of those half fun facts where someone told it to me and I wasn't fully listening the bottom of Mount Rushmore
The government definitely gives away cheese, yeah, but there is government cheese
But you're saying cheese or government cheese or aged government cheese of cheese. Are they just making expensive cheese?
Just not gonna go bad
1.4 billion pounds of cheese
Where are the government cheese caves Springfield, Missouri?
Wow
So if there's like a nuclear holocaust, we all need to get to Springfield, Missouri. Yeah, that's hot
Hundreds of feet below the ground in Missouri
There are hundreds of thousands of pounds of American cheese deep in converted limestone mines
Caves kept perfectly at 36 degrees Fahrenheit store stockpiles by what government owned cheese comprised in the country's
1.4 billion pounds of surplus cheese what keeps them at we're just sitting on cheese
What if what if you're a mouse that finds it's way into that facility?
Yeah, right that you're just like that's heaven for you. There's nothing better
There's got to be some mice down there. You think it's definitely airtight some bug has made their way in there
We're living off the cheese 1.4 billion pounds of cheese brick. I think it had something
Yeah, they're gonna go get it. It's gonna be just ripped apart now that I'm now that I'm thinking
About it. That's a lot of you told me it was something about like
Reagan doing something for the farmers so like buying their surplus cheese and then having it be like stored by the government
But I their cheese caves. That's all I'm gonna say
I you think it's that or you think the government for a period of time has had like secret factories just churning out cheese
It's probably gonna be an alternate fuel source in like how we use fossil fuel
Yeah, four billion years. They'll be like plugging into the cheese that we have stored in the Earth's crust. Damn
Imagine how much like a
It started in the
1970s during former president Jimmy Carter's era and his promise of giving farmers a break so that is yes
So I was kind of around there
So he bought the cheese he wanted to raise the price of milk
But the government couldn't just buy milk and store it so it's not started buying as much cheese as people wanted to sell
He just bought all the cheese. So like do we have any use for all this cheese?
I don't have nothing else to do. I don't know dude
They get like what is it still is it staying? I don't know
It might be going bad. We had to sort of say check on the cheese or it might be getting way way better. Yeah
I might be like the best cheese age
1.4 billion
How much does it cost? Can I can I buy some government cheese right now? I would hope so. I
Mean how crazy is that though? I don't know if it's like it's probably not the same cheese from the 1970s
They're just re-stop
The old cheese, but doesn't cheese go bad. I mean what's going on here. It's crazy man. So yeah
Someone told me that like what are you saying right now one point? We've cheat. We're just there's just caves of cheese
How American is that though? There's probably something I don't know about to imagine finding one
Like if the mummy or something like that going cave diving that would that would be a great plot
Why are we using this for tourism though like you got the Taj Mahal you have the Eiffel Tower
You have the pyramids like what does America fucking a huge basement full of cheese
Come check it out. It's incredible. Okay, PFT your last one. All right. So my last one is going to be
Actually talked about this earlier today is a fun fact the US hockey team miracle on ice was semi-finals. Yes, not the finals
Yeah, so that big win against the Russians
That wasn't actually like we didn't get shit for that
It's like a yeah famous like you still got a beat. You still got to beat the fins. Yeah, I think it was Finland
Yeah, and I was thinking what there's probably a pretty good chance that that Russian team threw the game, right? I
Don't know whoa, dude talk to me. Talk to me because like they were
They were bigger older stronger professional hockey players and the other guys some of them weren't even not that night
I know listen. I want to believe but it's the fucking Olympics took place
in New York in
Like the was it made class in 1980 1980. Yeah, I'm just saying it
When I said poison if it happened today is what I'm saying if it happened today
We would all be like Olympics rig. Oh, yeah, there's no way that that could happen. Well, yeah
But like today everything we needed it monitored and shit
That was just the wild wild west like talking about no cell phones and anything like
We had no idea what was going on in Russia truly. Yeah, you don't just through movies
You don't think that it wouldn't be above like corrupt Russians to take a shitload of money on the side. I don't know I
