Starting point is 00:03:08 Yeah, football's back too. Football is back. But yeah, very, very sore this morning. Every part of my body really. We were in the water yesterday, and when you swim, you use muscles that you don't know that you have. And yeah, my back is sore, arms are sore,
Starting point is 00:03:22 shoulders are sore, my soul is sore. I wanted to do, I was talking to our good friend Rudy, who works with us, and I was like, I'm so sore. And he's like, I'm sore than you. And I thought in my head, we should, next year when we come to camp, the last day we should do a sore relay race that is just simply like picking things up off the ground, sitting
Starting point is 00:03:46 in a chair, getting out of the chair, uh, like reaching in the back seat for something. I think that the getting out of the chair, it shouldn't be like timed. It should be judged on merit. So like the noise that you make, get up belly flop, how many parts of your body crack? Right. It's the belly flop. You have three judges watch you get out of a chair and how like, you know, like the sounds the angles Maybe you know touch your toes the sore the sore relays race would play and absolutely no stretching beforehand So it's just pure a hundred percent your body at that time I my body now when I stand up it it makes cracks in places that aren't joints. I know what's going on I think I have I think I've had had like a sprained or a broken thumb
Starting point is 00:04:28 for about three weeks now. Yeah, it's gone. But it's one of those things where I don't know when it happened. So I can't see a doctor because they'll be like, why's your thumb hurt? And I think my best guess would be playing video games. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:44 I don't, I think that's the only time I probably would games. Yeah. Yeah, I don't. That's an injury. I think that's the only time I probably would have injured it. Yeah, can you get carpal tunnel in places that aren't your wrist? I think my body has just gross carpal tunnel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:54 I think as a podcast, how we could beat pretty much any other podcast in a swimming relay. Are you sure about that? If as long as... We showed some impressive skills. Would it be backstroke? Would it matter though? My freestyle? freestyle about going straight that would probably matter yeah like maybe
Starting point is 00:05:10 maybe if we had an app where it's distance covered so if you veer off kind of like you did Hank like three times in a row yeah no you looked like Pat Mahomes senior trying to drive yeah you you were you were a blind person in the in the in the water. Well, yeah, I couldn't see Yeah, but it was it was quite something. But yeah, we were water or water podcast Maybe we should get more into the Olympics next four years from now water dogs. Yeah, we are the water dogs who have been eliminated They were the first team already stink. They've got a lot like three weeks ago, dude We got to figure out what's going on there we won a game after we got eliminated and our social team was like Look at this. We could do finally get a wins like yeah that could have used that a month ago
Starting point is 00:05:52 It was it was an embarrassment of a season as owners We don't tolerate that we don't like losing if me and big cat cared enough to be at the games We would be like Arthur blank and we'd be down on the sidelines staying behind the coaches glaring at him Yes. So should we do some reads and read some headlines? We have been at summer camp, by the way, thank you. Thank you Mountain Dew, our wonderful sponsor. Mountain Dew is the best. We got off our ass this week with Mountain Dew, the code red, the Baja blast, the original. I've been drinking the original nonstop. Such a delicious drink. So Mountain Dew has this is one of those things where if you like seeing us do fun things, and we can create fun content that's a little different, please support our sponsors and sponsors Mountain Dew and
Starting point is 00:06:33 Mountain Dew is the best. We've got a great great video that's going to come up. I don't know when it's going to be out. We haven't even taped it yet. But Huey is going to learn how to swim. Yes. Huey famously when we asked him if he could swim before surfing in the Pacific Ocean Said I kind of can swim. I guess I think I can swim He said I think I can swim I haven't swim in in seven or eight years, but I think I can swim Yeah, yeah, we know he was not a witch because he's gonna sink. Yes. Okay
Starting point is 00:07:02 Quick read a headline. So we have we do have football tonight, or Thursday night, but no one's playing. Any of your guys starters playing as disrespectful to Lindenwood. I'm not college. No, I'm talking about NFL because we do have college football, actual college football tonight. Missouri NC State, Kansas, Utah, well tonight, you're just off by an entire week am I yes damn it couldn't even be further off by a tight as close though god damn your cool week zero is Saturday yeah I know week zero Saturday I thought
Starting point is 00:07:36 we might get an appetizer on Thursday no that's week one fuck all right I know no stars are playing tonight. No starters playing tonight. There's actually like an interesting thing though about the Bears Chiefs game. You know, no starters are playing I think on either side. Right. But the way that it's set up right now with TV rights in Kansas City, you can't watch the game, you can't stream it, you can't watch it if you have cable, you can't watch it on
Starting point is 00:08:02 like the local channel. The only way you can watch the game in Kansas City is if you have a TV with the bunny year antennas Oh, I thought you were gonna say the only way you can watch the game is if you have a family member playing on the second Or third team of the Chiefs. Yeah, that's another way that you yeah. Yeah, that's you can definitely do it that way But yeah, I just wonder if there's anybody in Kansas City. That's like we were for hard knocks That's gonna be like I've kept my bunny ears this whole time Just for a moment like this fuck you guys I get to watch week three of the preseason Yeah, we three the preseason what oh, I mean it used to mean something yes to be starters all the way through the third quarter Yeah, it was a dress rehearsal back in our day
Starting point is 00:08:38 Okay, so there's no college football tonight. No college football. I was sure that was a test Yeah for everyone out there. I hope, hope no one failed that. Also, it would have been a funny test because this would have aired after those games had aired if you were correct. Yeah. You missed out. So you were double off. Okay. You guys want to read the headlines real quick? Yeah. Okay. Okay, you guys want to read the headlines real quick? Yeah, okay sources for rents Suspended for QB recruiting so Kirk France is out for the week one game against Illinois State. I This is just a funny story to me because
Starting point is 00:09:14 The fact that like he got in trouble for recruiting and it's Iowa. Yeah is very funny That is very funny to me. He got he got suspended for doing such a bad job of cheating. Yeah, I hope it was recruiting for a punter. Yeah, I hope he went like a, you know, all expense paid trip to he did like a vacation in Australia on the state of Iowa's dime. He stayed over at a punter's house. Yeah, like hardball. Right. So if he was suspended for QB recruiting, so I guess he was trying to was there one specific guy he was going after? I don't know. I can I can look up the story real quick. We can
Starting point is 00:09:49 go even deeper than a headline. Here we go. I will coach Kirk Ferrence and assistant john Buda mayor Buda mayor will be suspended one game for violation related to the recruitment of transfer quarterback, Cade McNamara. He was on Michigan. And then he obviously got hurt last year. He's going to be the starter this year. So he must have been tampering maybe. He must have been tampering during that season.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Okay, that's a good story. New NWSL-CBA drops draft increases salaries. So they're going to try out the Mike Florio rule. Love that. Which is what happens if there's no draft and it's just the free market. I think that's a good idea. Pure capitalism.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Yeah. Just, yeah, let's do it. I'm in for this. What are the richest teams? Who are the richest owners that are going to benefit from this? Probably Los Angeles. Doesn't LeBron, Ser Serena aren't they involved there yep I would I would say like maybe the spirit the Gotham the Red Stars
Starting point is 00:10:51 Without rain the Royals all of them racing loot Louisville FC's I'm just naming these off top my head Yeah, I think the best way to treat this is just to say LeBron has ruined women's soccer. Yep That's that sounds like a good path forward. Okay. Yanks back judge after criticism from Little League World Series coach. So there was a story. This is where we're at in the sports calendar. Right before football is the deadest time.
Starting point is 00:11:17 I actually think as much as we think July might be the deadest time, we usually have like some soccer tournaments going on. We have baseball. Olympics. Yeah. All-star game. This might be the deadest week of the year. Right before we get to like the busy time. This is the fourth headline on ESPN right now. This week is so dead that I mentally fast forward an entire week. Yeah. Yeah. You did. Yeah. Next week. So race it. So there was a,
Starting point is 00:11:43 there was a controversy that, uh, I guess Aaron judge big-legged the South Shore Little League coach Bob Leterza, I think this is the Staten Island team And then everyone was like no he didn't big league them So yeah, he said letters I said, how about turning around or waving to New York and the kids that think you're a hero They're the ones who pay your salary fact the kids pay salary Also, but also wait literally he is big leaking them there the little league
Starting point is 00:12:14 Yes, and Aaron Aaron judge plays in the major leagues Yes And then the Yankees had to release a statement said Aaron judge always acts with kindness and respect the coach could learn a lot from him I love that. Yeah, this is a great battle anytime you can work you could learn a lot from somebody into a sentence It's it's always you win that argument. Yeah Yeah, Aaron Boone said not even gonna dignify Leturzo's comments with the response Aaron judges as good as it gets That's literally you responded But on the other hand I would like I would like Aaron Boone to show some of this fire that the little league coach shows.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Yeah, like the little league coach, he he goes on the attack against people. It feels like Aaron Boone is always playing defense for his guys. Yeah. He said, Judge said, I got no response for that. I'm not going to give him a response because it's about the kids. Again, this is a response. This is what it's all about. We got a chance to spend a lot of time with quite a few kids in Williamsport make some great memories had a great time in the game you know besides the loss so i kind of want that to be the focus this is i hope this
Starting point is 00:13:14 keeps going on letters has got a fire back yeah i mean right now it sounds like Aaron Boone big leaked them yeah letters letters you need your your you're kind of on the you're on the defense now Let's see Ronaldo creates YouTube channel breaks record This is kind of crazy. What happened? He joined YouTube and got 8 million subscribers in like one second. I think he's up to 12 now Do you do did he do like did he do a giveaway or anything? Did you do like do you run? Do the shock collar a mukbang do you the shock collar or the lemon in his eye? Mukbang. That would do numbers.
Starting point is 00:13:48 What are you gonna say, Max? Nevermind. I think- We'll get to it in Russia. Yeah, we'll get to it. We'll get to it. I think Messi could dominate these numbers. Oh, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:13:57 If he came out with a YouTube channel. Yes. Easily. By the way, I had this thought about Messi. I don't know if I talked about it on the podcast. What's stopping the United States from just giving messy a US passport for the next World Cup 21 on the fact he wouldn't play for us Are you sure? Yeah, I'm pretty sure pocahontino Argentinian guy to pretty our head coach. I also don't know if he'll play in the next World Cup. He's getting a little old
Starting point is 00:14:21 He's getting old but wouldn't you want him on the US? Of course I would. I think Messi really likes Argentina. What if we gave him a shitload of money? I don't know if that's legal or not. But I still think Messi like he's a god in Argentina. What would happen if he does that? I'm just dream is his god stuff. I'm just dreaming. And I'm thinking outside the box. And there's got to be somebody out there that's got money to burn. And if you if you're Jeff Bezos, give him like a billion dollars to play for the US password. I don't think Jeff Bezos cares about anything besides being rich, bald and doing TRT. Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Is Jeff Bezos going to buy the Celtics? No. Why? Why'd you say no so fast? Because I saw a report that said he wasn't interested. Oh, okay. So I guess that's good No, good report wouldn't you want him to buy the Celtics? I think so. Yeah, I don't I wanted to buy the bears
Starting point is 00:15:11 We're throwing out this new stadium shit though. I don't I'm not a fan of that. Yeah the Amazon touchless stadium. I Don't think the cool Boss doesn't need a new stadium. That's just like an owner would want a new stadium The Jeff Bezos would just build a new stadium cuz he can but we don't need Boston doesn't need a new stadium. That's just like an owner would want a new stadium The Jeff Bezos would just build a new stadium because he can't but we don't need that I listen I'm fully supporting Jeff Bezos buying any team because it goes back to my original my Longtime take that if you're that rich and you don't own a sports team, you're fucking weirdo Yeah, it's the it's the only thing you should want the point of getting money is that you can own a sports team It's the only thing that actually like costs the amount of money that you have.
Starting point is 00:15:46 You know what I mean? Like there's once you have the billions and billions Jeff Bezos has nothing. There's nothing left to purchase. Yeah, you want you want to own the best toy in the world and the best toy is an NFL team. Okay, Jason McIntyre said Simmons was doing that to get his name in the headlines to get Bezos name in the headlines to get Bezos name in the headline Simmons his name in the headlines because he's like This is what Mac entire said on coward show. He was basically alluding that Bezos was or Simmons
Starting point is 00:16:14 floated that out there Just to get his name in the headlines because he's going through some type of contract dispute or something Which I don't level so that shit. I don't understand believe that but sim but Simmons is going to a contract dispute with Spotify. Wait so he's saying that Simmons is going through a contract dispute so Simmons decided to talk about the Celtics for once? He threw out an unfounded theory about the Celtics and this raised a lot of red flags. Sounds like he was just doing his job. Did Bill Simmons do a potential draft of Boston Celtics owners? And then everybody was like, this is unusual.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Yeah. What's his hell? What's wrong with him? Is he sick? Okay. So Bezos maybe, but probably not. I think maybe. My favorite Bezos- Or, he must have said he has no plans on purchasing the team. My favorite-
Starting point is 00:17:01 He should start the plans. Yeah, start the plans or buy the Bears. Yeah. He probably wants to buy a the team. He should start the plans. Yeah, start the plans or buy the Bears. Yeah, he probably wants to buy a football team. The rumor was that Dan Snyder would not sell to him even though he was the highest bidder for the commanders because he doesn't like Bezos because of the reporting the Washington Post did on the commanders.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Also, if you're a billionaire like Bezos, it's probably easier to buy a team that's not in complete disrepair and take that over like the Celtics. Right? Like you've got a winner, a proven winner already. So that seems like I'm connecting a lot of dots here. But I'm going to dispute that report and say, he's not done. No, he's not done being interested. He's not. He's still interested. He's
Starting point is 00:17:39 definitely still interested. My favorite story about Jeff Bezos is that remember when the mistress came out? Yeah, when he got that divorce a couple years ago, uh, he got caught having a mistress Because he was hanging out. He was at some business conference with mbs the leader of saudi arabia And mbs was like, let me get your number so that we can text later He gets his number Mbs sends him a text and has like a link on it. It's like thought about you check this link out Bezos clicks on the link now Saudi Arabia hacked into Bezos his phone
Starting point is 00:18:09 Oh, no, and so they released they found out all the dirt on him and they released all the information I'm Bezos. That's fucked up. Yeah, you guys seen this. I always be your friends. They just want to send you links I know what happened with Zuckerberg. Have you just seen him? Yeah, he's trying to get into his swag era. Which again, I respect that too. Like if you're, it's the buying a team or if you're a very rich guy, you have to essentially do enough performance enhancing, do some kind of weird Navy Seal crossfit Krav Maga or whatever the hell it's called to try to wipe away the fact that you were a nerd.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Yeah, you do that. You also just put yourself in positions to make yourself feel uncomfortable because everything about your life is super comfortable. So you go on like two week long retreats where you don't do anything but drink water. You just try to make yourself feel like you're poor again. Yeah, in order to tap into some like deep yearning missing piece that you haven't said. Or when Zuckerberg got choked out but then had to release a statement saying he did not get choked out.
Starting point is 00:19:10 He did not in fact get choked out. I also would love to interview the guy who choked him out because I feel like he didn't choke him out as hard as he would any other person. You think he let up at the end? Yeah, of course he did. If he's getting paid by Zuck, he definitely let up a little. That wasn't a full choke. So actually, now that we're talking this out, Zuckerberg little. That wasn't a full choke. So actually, now that
Starting point is 00:19:25 we're talking this out, Zuckerberg got choked out in a half choke. Yeah, I also think the billionaires sometimes they, if you get that much wealth and power, you have this deep dark instinct that takes over that makes you want to be an evil billionaire and take over the world and potentially destroy it. And so you just have to do everything you can to like, steer yourself away from that instinct. Yeah, they're all evil. They're all evil. Yeah, like that. Bernie Lockwood.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Oh, little, little Rose Avatar Hank over here. Yeah, eat the rich. Like that. They're all evil. Yeah, because Hank thinks that anyone anybody that's worked that hard to become a billionaire is an idiot because they didn't take any vacations. Right. And now they do take ultimate vacations. That was kind of all the headlines. So as Ronaldo and Aaron Judge fighting with little leaguers,
Starting point is 00:20:15 I just pulled up CBS Sports, pretty leads young QBs on contenders. I like this as a as a topic where you can rank pretty number one But not have it be number one Like if you do the the age thing mm-hmm so you can leave out my homes Allen burrow all those other guys Like who would you start a franchise with right now? The answer still Patrick yeah Patrick Holmes I was a CC was to say CJ shroud if you're doing age under 25
Starting point is 00:20:46 Oh under I do Jayden personally Yeah, I'd like I mean I I'd like to be Caleb Williams. I want to see him play in the NFL. I'm being realistic I'm not gonna get crazy Okay, anything else Well, let's do did you just fart Hank just farted you just farted. No Well, let's do you just fart. Hank just farted. You just farted. No, you look at you. Definitely farted. You gave me eye contact and farted. No, I didn't. Yeah, you did. You looked at me and farted. You're sitting in a wood chair. What does that have to do with anything?
Starting point is 00:21:15 It makes a louder noise. Like it was a very clear fart. Have to check the tapes. Yeah, no, Hank, you farted before the podcast started. You just looked at me and farted. And that was the exact same sound. Oh, we're going to have to check the tapes. Yeah, no, Hank. You farted before the podcast started. You just looked at me and that was the exact same sound. Or we're gonna have to check the tapes. You're real comfortable, huh? I just had a lot of I don't know. A lot of cello blue. Was that it? Oh, now you're mad at us for acknowledging that you farted on our podcast. You're the one who
Starting point is 00:21:44 stared me in the eyes and farted like during the podcast. Hank, there are people that are, there's a million people listening to this right now. They didn't hear that. And you're just like, ah, fuck them. I didn't mean to fart. Slipped out. Control your sphincter. Oh man, Hank.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Okay. Hank had a lot of nitrous this morning. What? Loosen your butto. What is nitrous? Like whippets. Yeah, Hank had a lot of nitrous this morning. What? Looses your bottle. Was nitrous like whippets. Yeah. Kanye. Uh, all right, let's do, do like $60,000 of nitrous a month.
Starting point is 00:22:15 The nitrous and Bince. And then there was started this, uh, debate online. It's like, why isn't nitrous just legal? And everyone replied, because it actually burns your brain cells. Yeah. Like it's actually the one like to get high with nitrous it's because you have a lack of oxygen to your brain and your brain is dying. Oh yeah, Kanye got that hookup. There's a very funny text thread that was going back and forth between Kanye, his dentist,
Starting point is 00:22:46 and I guess his old boss. His boss, or his dentist, have you seen his Instagram page? Yes. Dr. Thomas Connelly? Yes. He's a jacked up dentist with head and face tattoos. He says, this needs to be a long-term goal. Get recreational nitrous legalized.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Meanwhile, we master the delivery system with a two-year head start and then Kanye's old business partner said surely you're joking prolonged misuse of nitrous causes birth defects problems the b12 spinal cord will disintegrate why would anyone want to introduce another drug to an already depressed addicted demoralize an apathetic population of dopamine slaves then Kanye follows that text with can I have the nitrous today? Spinal cord disin Disin what is it? I can't say this integrate disintegration
Starting point is 00:23:34 That's got to be one of the worst side effects for a drug for anything. Yeah. Yeah, your spinal cord will disintegrate It's pretty important who turn into dust. Yeah Okay, let's do, let's do our college football picks real quick. It is not week one. It is week zero. Next week is week one, but let's get them in right now. DraftKings, you can bet them all on the DraftKings Sportsbook app. So we've been tasked with a national champion, Heisman or conference winner. I will let you go first, PFT. Okay, I do apologize for thinking that there were week zero Thursday games when I was looking at the app.
Starting point is 00:24:11 I'm gonna, I got a national champion pick. I have two, but I'm gonna tell you. Two can't win it. I have one that I already bet on, but I have one that I like more than the one that I bet on. So I'm gonna give you a brand new one. Okay. The Texas Longhorns. Okay. Okay. The Texas Longhorns.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Okay. I like the Texas Longhorns. What are their odds? Their odds are, I believe, 850. Okay. Eight and a half to one. Texas is back. We might see Arch Manning if Ubers has any issues, but I think that Ubers is still obviously one of the best quarterbacks in college football. And their hardest game is Georgia. They have that at home and with the expanded playoffs
Starting point is 00:24:48 I feel you have to go to Michigan to they have to go to Michigan But I'm thinking Michigan's a big question mark this year. They're still gonna be good. They'll be good, but there's there's a lot different Yeah at Michigan from from the national championship team. So I Think Texas will also benefit from obviously the expanded playoff if they do lose one of those tough games Still very much in it. Yes. All right, Hank your conference champion pick I'm gonna go with the the conference our local conference the Big Ten little little long shot It's more than a little long shot
Starting point is 00:25:21 one two three More than a little long shot. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, they're the ninth, this is the ninth out of whatever team. I had a 10 in the big 10. Washington Huskies plus 8,000. Plus 8,000. Okay, 80 to one.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Damn. Okay. Hungry dog. All right, I'm gonna go with my Heisman and this is one that you're gonna bet and we're either going to have great value or Was the worst bet ever within the first week, which is what I like to do with my husband chip or picks I'm gonna go with Miller Moss USC. They play LSU week one. I think it's actually the Sunday game
Starting point is 00:26:06 So it's gonna be standalone game if he comes out in balls. It's right now 35 to one, it will be half that price if he comes out in balls. I also am high on USC this year, simply because they got rid of Alex Grinch, the worst defensive coordinator of all time. Yep. So they will be better on defense. If they're if they're better on defense, the offense doesn't have to press as much they could maybe have a better record. Miller Moss Heisman Trophy winner and guess who the guess who guess who just churns out Heisman Trophy winners and guy named old stinking Riley stinking Riley. Now, where's
Starting point is 00:26:33 that first game? It's neutral. Yeah, I think it's either in it might be in Louisiana which or New Orleans, which would not be neutral, but I think they this might be the Camping World game where they play in Orlando. Which isn't that wasn't that stadium built during the war or something? Is there something weird with the camping world stadium? I mean just based on US history was probably built during a war. Yeah that's true. Hold on I'm gonna find that because uh it's actually
Starting point is 00:26:58 in Vegas. It's in Vegas. Um no there's a weird uh you know, the fact that Orlando has a football stadium makes no sense really. Right. Like portals. Well, no, that's but they have their own football stadium. Camping World is just a neutral football for just this type of occasion. Yeah. It opened in 1936. His Orlando Stadium has also been known as a tangerine bowl in Florida Citrus Bowl 1936 that's crazy that Orlando if you'd ask me when Orlando was created. I'd be like I guess whenever Disney Yeah, Disney. So Orlando built this it was that during the Great Depression was that like a new deal? I think like FDR is like I'm gonna give money to build the Hoover Dam We're going to do a lot of mining and bridge construction in Tennessee. And we're gonna build a football stadium in Orlando.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Yeah, so that Florida State can play LSU week one sometime. Save the economy. Yeah. Yeah, it was. It was under the Great Depression. Was it really? Stadium was built immediately. Yeah, it was built for that reason.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Capacity of 8,900 is Orlando Stadium. First college football bowl game was played on January 1st, 1947. That's not actually the first college football bowl game. I did a bad job of reading that sentence. So Miller for Heisman. May yeah, he's got a good Heisman name. He's got a good Heisman name.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Lincoln Riley USC USC no longer playing in the Pac 12 there. Good. They got some big primeetime games are playing like Penn State I Believe they I don't know if they play Ohio State I know they play Wisconsin, but they start the season with LSU again This is a bet that if he plays well against LSU it's gonna go from 35 to 1 to 20 to 1 overnight Okay, we're gonna do a bunch of college football previews next week, by the way,
Starting point is 00:28:47 so everyone get ready for that. We will make sure that we stuff your brain with college football previews. Those are coming. Let's do our Mount Rushmore, our Mount Rushmore. So we're going to do our Mount Rushmore is brought to you by our friends at Mountain Dew. You know, we all need to get more of off our ass with bold flavors and refreshing citrus kick. Mountain Dew will get you off your ass and have you feeling like you're an actual on an actual mountain, a mountain where the weather is always perfect. Your friends ready to hang in a day of epic proportions of weights. We love Mountain Dew. We've been playing.
Starting point is 00:29:23 We've been in the lake. We've been doing softball we've doing rock climbing. Mountain Dew is the best. I love the original Mountain Dew. That's my personal favorite. So thank you to Mountain Dew. We've had an awesome time at camp this week. It's been so much fun and it's in big thanks to Mountain Dew for sponsoring it and getting it all together. So go do the do original is the way to go. H's a Baja Blast guy. I think PFT you're Code Red guy. I love them all. We got all three here. Absolutely fantastic Soda. Okay so Mount
Starting point is 00:29:53 Rushmore of Orange Things. We have Max in first last week. We have myself or on Wednesday I was second and then we have a tie for third and fourth. So we have to figure out what we're gonna do about the tie. Yeah, I have an idea. Okay. My idea is that it rolls over. It's like in golf, if you tie hole in like a skins game. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:19 So it rolls over to this Mount Rushmore, and then between Hank and myself, whoever finishes ahead of the other person they get the third place points From Wednesday and then the other person gets fourth place. Okay. I like that idea. I'll throw a counterpoint out there I think we should give third place to the person who didn't try to meddle with the vote Who tried to meddle with the vote? Hank max did anyone try to meddle with the vote charity. charity yeah yeah PFT was so charitable online I almost want to just give it to him as you know he really inspired he
Starting point is 00:30:51 was so charitable he'd give it to you that's very charitable he tweeted in the middle of the vote so the vote had not been decided yet no no and it was a neck-and-neck race he said I will give an autographed game ward camp parcel hoodie signed by myself and big cat No, I didn't agree to that somebody asked to one person Yes, me and big cat to a rush more pole Hank You didn't read the quote tweet part somebody had asked send proof of voting and read the rest of it Hashtag rock the no you you left out apart
Starting point is 00:31:20 You can vote for whoever you want. It will not affect who gets the hoodie, correct? So there were plenty people that sent replies that voted for you. I was like damn, GIFT is so charitable. For Max. You know what's disgusting is that Hank thinks that the only reason that somebody can do something nice is because they're secretly trying to do something wrong. I've been literally saying. You were definitely trying to do something wrong. I was not trying to do anything wrong. Let's just be clear here you were 100% sure. Surely you've chosen the winner then right? You've never done that the person. Oh, I have to I've done
Starting point is 00:31:49 Chances send the fucking hoodie to anyone. I've done giveaways before I'm gonna send the hoodie Hank. Why don't you pick who gets it? Okay, how come you didn't let Hank get to sign it? Well because the person asked good question cat for one Okay, the person said hey big cat PFT. Can I get one of those camp bar still hoodies? That's why I said me and big cat will sign Did you think about waiting till after the rush more pull ended no good question? I was just I was just walking up to the building here We're getting ready to do lunch, and I took my phone out happened to check Twitter saw that we saw we were in a neck-and-neck race I didn't know that we were in neck-and-neck race. It was actually it was a very close amount rush more
Starting point is 00:32:24 I think big cat had 23 percent Hank and I both ended at we were in a neck and neck race. I didn't know that we were in a neck and neck race. It was actually, it was a very close amount of rush more. I think Big Cat had 23%. Hank and I both ended at 21.7%. Crazy, I don't think we've ever had a tie like that. And also after I put that out, Hank went up from like 20.3% But you weren't paying attention. To 20.7.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Right, 21.7. Yeah, you weren't paying attention to the vote at all. I did when we sat down for lunch and Hank came to The table and he was just looking I mean he said How's your lunch, but I knew what he meant. Yeah, we may need a commissioner to make it make it Yeah, I mean listen, I'm just gonna say in fairness if Hank had done this I would have gone after Hank So I have to say that I think that's bullshit. I didn't I didn't do anything though. I was
Starting point is 00:33:02 Super charitable. I was trying to be a nice guy your charity sh shaming I'm not I've been confident to you the whole names what are the official standings right now it is what depends yeah it max has 69 points I have 57 points and then PFT and Hank are three points apart so they'll either be it either be there'd be two points apart or they would be four points apart or We could roll it over into this Mount Rushmore and whoever wins this one gets the points from the tie Alright Hank gets it and PFT loses one point. Okay, I get subtracted a point. You get subtracted a point point? Wow. I don't think you should get subtracted to the point, commissioner. Well, it did break the rules. Commissioner, I don't think you should get subtracted to
Starting point is 00:33:47 the point. Wait, memes. When Hank explicitly broke the rules and posted what his picks were during Mount Rushmore, he didn't get subtracted to the point. Yeah, that's a bad precedent to set. It should just be... Well, it wasn't a pick. It was a honorable mention. No, no. He posted his picks. No, he posted his picks. No, I posted... Coldplay. He posted Coldplay.
Starting point is 00:34:04 And he posted... Can you see memes in the back end? I didn't push people to the vote, though. I didn't push people to the vote, though. his yellow Coldplay. No, I posted it. Coldplay, he posted Coldplay. And he posted... Can you see memes in the back end? I didn't push people to the vote though. Wait, Hank, did I push people to vote for a certain person? Yes, yes. On desktop you can see. I'm in... Hold up.
Starting point is 00:34:16 You're anti-democracy. I'm encouraging people to vote. I don't care who you vote for. Just participate in democracy. Memes, just see if you can see the exact amount of votes. Is that possible? And and hank i'm giving them the shirt literally the shirt off my back right now I mean you knew what you were doing. I had no idea what I was doing I thought college football started tonight. I walked up to pft and go damn pft. You're so charitable and he goes
Starting point is 00:34:41 Well, it's not even gonna matter like he instantly got defensive It actually it actually helped Hank, but you weren't watching the poll. No, I saw the poll when I tweeted it out afterwards. And then wait, how would you know you saw before you tweeted it? After I just said, after I tweeted out, so how would you know it helped him? Cause you didn't see it before. Good question. Right after I tweeted it. Oh, I looked like, like you had, half a second later, but you hadn't looked. Yeah. Yeah. Half a second later. second later. Oh, you hadn't looked. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Half second later. I looked at it. You hadn't looked at before. What inspired you to start being charitable yesterday? I do a lot of charity. I just don't talk about it all the time. So what inspired you to talk? The real charity is well, because somebody asked me publicly. So I responded publicly and I care about our listeners. I get, I care about, I don't care who you vote for in Mount Rushmore season. Let's be clear here. You have choices to make and you're going to make those choices. Choose who matters to you, who speaks
Starting point is 00:35:28 to you as a representative of your thoughts during Mount Rushmore season on this podcast. I just want people to take an active role in democracy and I want you to know that your voice matters. You can't see the actual amount of votes memes? All right Ashley at a mangled and who did she vote for Max okay, Ashley Ashley mangled a mangled a mangled you win you get the shirt off my back big cat Will you sign it for Ashley? You don't want it you don't care about the listeners I care about I care about Ashley Maybe I'll just send her my shirt off my back and not have to have any strings attached on voting. Oh yeah I mean that's how much I care about the listeners I don't make them do things
Starting point is 00:36:10 to get free things. I didn't make them do anything I said if you're going to vote I want to encourage that behavior voting is good. I just know I'm trying to be fair here that if Hank pulled this movie he'd be fucking he would literally be on trial for an hour and a half. Which you I think would agree with, PFT. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm trying to do a good thing, and Ashley, this is for you.
Starting point is 00:36:31 It's a nice shirt. It is a nice shirt. Are you talking about the tie-dye one, or are you talking about... Can you see it, Meads? Do you want the shirt? He's still pulling it out too small for me. You want the shirt, Hank? I'm sorry. I don't think PFT should lose a point
Starting point is 00:36:46 But we'll get to it by it. We'll get to it by the end of this round rush more. All right here I also wanted to say shout out Carl Ham Who made a very very funny? Mount Rushmore graphic summing up all of our picks this year I'll just read it real quick. It was, this is the first round, Max Goodpick, PFT Goodpick, Big Cat Goodpick, Hank making a third round pick. Then second round is Max Goodpick, PFT third round pick, Big
Starting point is 00:37:16 Cat pick 1-1 for people aged 35 to 45, Hank something nobody even considered picking. Third round is Max Goodpick. PFT, something hyper specific that wins the votes of 50 people. You have an A vote hard. Big Cat, a niche sports reference that nobody else was going to take. Hank, something that Hank has to explain as to why
Starting point is 00:37:38 it fits the category. Then the fourth round is Max Goodpick slash Italian. PFT, it fits a category But it's just weird big cat wrestling or kid related Hank a reasonable pick That's that's really good That's our show oh Alright, so we're gonna do the Mount Rushmore of Oran things orange things And we don't know the standings right now
Starting point is 00:38:04 But I guess we'll know at the end of this at the end of this Mount Rushmore. So who's first orange things? PFT is first. Okay. Wait, who's second me? You Hank third, Max four. Got it. And it goes it goes four, three, two, one and points unless there's a tie. Right right or someone mess with the voting yes okay all right yeah never mind no we're gonna say so hank got the point do we agree with that on the we don't know i don't think memes can find the actual votes kenny on the desktop it breaks down to the decimal point and we were tied 21.7 to 21.7 but I think we should be able to get into like, the analytics of the actual post and get an exact number.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Can we get the overnight votes? Huh? You get the overnight votes? Can we get the time stamp votes of when PFT sent out his tweet? Oh yeah, I was winning before that. That's what I'm saying. I thought you said you didn't check before.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Well right after. Exactly, exactly. I'm just saying, I was up, I'm saying. I thought you said you didn't check before. Well, right after when I was on afterwards. Exactly, exactly. I'm just saying, I was up, I helped Hank. You keep saying you haven't checked. You didn't check before. I did not before, but I've learned a valuable lesson today that's don't help Hank, because he'll always accuse you of doing it to go in.
Starting point is 00:39:17 I have done nothing but compliment you for your charitable actions, fact-efficient. And they did call me Dr. Charity this morning. Dr. Charity. He said when we were asked, we were in the bunk this morning, he's like, what should we do for Mount Rushmore? He's like, things that you give to charity. OK, PFT, your first pick.

Starting point is 00:42:19 Yeah. I don't think hot sauce is orange. We've had this discussion before, Hank. Hot sauce is red. The most popular brand of hot sauce, I would say, is? Frank's. And what's the word that comes after that? Orange hot.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Orange hot. What hot sauces are orange? Buffalo. Buffalo sauces are orange. Buffalo sauces are orange. Because. Buffalo sauces are orange. Buffalo sauces are orange. Because you mix it with the butter. Correct, because you mix it with butter.

Starting point is 00:44:35 I didn't say cheese at boxes. We might have to give, we might have to do the Hank gets third place and PFT minus one point because he's just blowing this draft. Hank's like an animal. How am I blowing this draft? I mean, because you... I didn't take hot sauce. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Okay. You're doing fine. And I got, I couldn't pick something. You're like an animal that doesn't have a real defense mechanism. Like you don't spit venom, you don't have a stinger. Just when you get upset and frustrated you shut down and fart mm-hmm next pick that would have been so great yeah all right next pick is a skunk yeah I'm gonna go with Hooters uniform shorts hmm okay pretty great
Starting point is 00:45:23 shorts this is the part of the draft where he gets the 50 people. Are you saying you don't like the Hooters uniform shorts? No, this is not part of it. I don't know if I'm looking at the shorts. You do. Personally, I don't think I go to Hooters to look at the shorts.
Starting point is 00:45:38 You do look at the shorts sometimes. I'm going to Hooters for something else. The wings. Which you already have. Which I already have. Yeah, yeah, that's a good pick. Yeah. Okay. This is what PFT just picked.

Starting point is 00:46:38 Hank, I'll be honest. I had Nemo on my list. That's awesome. That's good. So you know, it's really good with both me and Larry. That's why I don't want to take Larry. That's why you didn't want to take Larry. Cause you're like, I already got this covered.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Okay, Max, your last two. I know. Well, I'm going to go with an orange, the orange tic tac. Oh, okay. I think that's one of the worst tic tacs. There's only two tic tac. No, that's one of the worst tic tacs. There's only two tic tacs. No, that's not true. Is there three tic tacs?
Starting point is 00:47:08 There's probably like seven tic tacs. I like the orange tic tac. It was like, that was a staple for me growing up as a kid. You got the spearmint, you got the winter green, you got the fruit colors that are like mixed in. You got orange. What are those?

Starting point is 00:48:22 If we did a candy Mount Rushmore and we each got 10 picks each, so that's 40 candies, I'm standing up for candy. If we did a candy Mount Rushmore and we each got 10 picks each, so that's 40 candies, orange Tic Tacs still wouldn't be picked. I'm saying, okay, pick another orange candy. So it's the lowest tier candy. Pick another orange candy.

Starting point is 00:55:54 Oh man. Hank, I can't with you right now. I literally can't. It can't exist. Do you memes, do we have a conclusion? Nope. Okay, so what is your ruling? Hank gets third and PFT gets fourth and you're also subtracting?
Starting point is 00:56:09 You guys just didn't accept. You have a commissioner and you're just like, alright, make a ruling. But you didn't get subtracted to the point when you broke an explicit rule. Don't bring it up to me. I broke an unwritten rule. Wait, so you're admitting you broke a rule. No, that's what I'm being prosecuted for is breaking an unwritten rule. Wait, so you're admitting you broke a rule? No, that's what I'm being prosecuted for, is breaking an unwritten rule.
Starting point is 00:56:27 You were prosecuted for breaking a written rule that you invented, and you didn't get to track it up. But I didn't break the actual rule. Yes, you did. You guys just decided I did. No, you did. It was actually your rule that you broke. All right, so memes, what's the final ruling?
Starting point is 00:56:40 Hank gets a point. Hank gets the two points? Yeah. Okay. But PFT gets a official warning a warning Okay, and next time it's negative 10 How long does he have to send the sweatshirt because that should be part of it Oh good point you have one week Wow Huey can you know you have to do it?

Starting point is 00:59:38 Little redemption, because last time he was on the show, it was the drunkest episode we've ever done. So Will, first of all, let's start there. How how bad were the scary anxiety when you woke up and you're like, I did a podcast. Yes, bro. My scary is and you know, we've messaged back and forth, but my scary is we're through the fucking roof, man. It was a great. Not only that, I remembered how, you know, you're in the you're in the final game.
Starting point is 01:00:06 And so you're shit talking, you know, to get in the other team's head. And I'm just trying to recall the things I was saying to Joey, the comedian that was with Pac Tiari. And, you know, you have no clue you go in the next day in the shop and the
Starting point is 01:00:18 boys were talking about how obnoxious I was getting. And you're just like, God, man, you were the drunkest man alive, bro, when I saw you guys' first, the first clip, and I'm just slurring, and every word I felt like in my brain meant so much. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:00:34 Yeah, I know that feeling. You think you're being super profound. Yeah. You get down to it, and you listen back to it, and you're like, that is the opposite of what I thought I sounded like. Yeah. Although you made some good points about Max and how much he hates JJ Reddick
Starting point is 01:00:47 do you want to apologize to Max or you think he still might hate JJ Reddick? No yeah I think that you were explaining something that I wasn't quite following No I love JJ Reddick. I was gonna say do you hate JJ Reddick for real? No I love JJ Reddick he was a sixer. He was probably on the best sixer team Of my lifetime probably where should have won they win. No that was he was on the kawaii team What year were you born Max? That I mean the oh the oh one sixers, but now AI was just the best player that team honestly suck The team was bad except for yeah, yeah, yeah, I covered up a lot So does that make you mad that JJ took the job at the Lakers?
Starting point is 01:01:25 No, I like JJ. I appreciate JJ for everything that he's done for Philadelphia so what if he what if the Lakers beat the Sixers in the finals then I would probably hate JJ There's pre-hate there's Like you're on to something yeah, What's the word in vino veritas? In wine? There is truth. It sounds like he'll have drunk man's words or tapped into the universe. So man's words are drunk, right? Like so if the Lakers beat the Sixers, you wouldn't be calling for JJ to come home. So remains were thoughts or drunk man's
Starting point is 01:02:02 words. Maybe. I got it, finally. But I mean that, but that would be, he would be tapping into my brain, which. No, no, Will's asking you if the Sixers fired their head coach and they hired JJ Reddick, it sounds like you wouldn't like that. Like they were just doing JJ Reddick again.
Starting point is 01:02:19 The Sixers fired. Yeah. Would you be hoping JJ comes to Philly? I like JJ. But you wouldn't want to make sure you know. Yes or no? I like Nick Nurse. I don't want anyone to get fired.
Starting point is 01:02:33 I want JJ to keep his job. I want Nick Nurse to keep his job. So you wouldn't be excited about having JJ as your head coach? No. I just don't want anyone to get fired. You don't think he's going to be a good head coach? I do think he's going to be a good head coach. If you thought he was going to be a good head coach, then you would be like, yeah, I would take him over know you want to get fired a good head coach. I do think he's gonna be a good head No, I don't think you thought he's gonna be a good head coach
Starting point is 01:02:46 Then you would be like, yeah, I would take him over Nick nurse in a second, right? But you ride with your guys so you do you JJ? Yes, we got to the bottom You think he'll be a good quarterback Was that to do with JJ ready Was that for me? Either one of you do I think that you think think Jaden Daniels gonna be a good quarterback? Yes. Would you get rid of Caleb Williams
Starting point is 01:03:08 and take Jaden Daniels? No. You say you hate Jaden Daniels? No, we're not talking about Jaden Daniels. I just did the same thing. I just said he's gonna be a good coach. Every good QB, you think JJ Reddick's gonna be a good coach?
Starting point is 01:03:20 Correct. Would you put your reputation on the line for it? I don't know. So you do hate JJ Reddick. Oh no. Correct. Would you put your reputation on the line for it? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would put my right. It's so clear. You know, JJ, JJ needs this. He needs, he needs doubters out there. Yeah. Haters and doubters. But it's good to be sober. Yeah. It's good to be sober. That was, um, I don't think we'll ever do that again. Uh, it seemed like a good idea in the moment and then the next day we all were going through because we were going to interview Joe Burrow and it was like we
Starting point is 01:03:50 were just all silent in the bus being like just the anxiety you could cut it with a knife. Yeah it was a bad day we were at each other's throats Hank left his wallet in like three different locations and held us up big time and wouldn't apologize for anything and so any like we weren't never mad at will obviously because we're All in that same boat. We were hammered drunk, but then when the clips came out I think we all thought that they were hilarious when you see the clips come out You're probably just like turn your phone. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I eventually listened all the way through on the JJ ready part Yeah, you're like people who made it all the way through on the JJ ready part because I remember yeah yeah you're like people
Starting point is 01:04:25 who made it all the way through and it's like when you guys are talking about like riding back on the next day like with your boys you're almost like sitting there with anxiety hoping somebody's like hey man you you were the MVP yesterday make you feel like okay all right yeah it was epic yeah yeah no we didn't have but you all sit there and just assume everybody else is thinking like you're obnoxious And that's specifically to you. Yes. Yeah. Yes. All right, so will we're on the precipice of football season Actually, we can talk about this is coming out on Friday We were all in the same team for camp bar stool. I think I don't know how you guys are feeling personally
Starting point is 01:05:09 This was just an eye opening like, god damn it. I know I say this all time, but like another one of like, damn, you are just so washed. Because the few fun activities we did have just made me I actually am like, 1% chance tomorrow I wake up and I can't walk. Yeah, I'm just paralyzed. legs on fire. I'll tell you what we won the real game softball. Yeah, here's our list softball wrestling swim relay kayak relay What else tramp tramp tramp ball like all like the cool ones where you had to yeah actuals?
Starting point is 01:05:40 Yeah, and they're basically the closest things to the sport Yeah, we won and they basically just won Donnie Donnie chef Donnie chef Donnie like he just won all the climb to rock He won the belly flop contest. Yeah in White Sox Dave White Sox Dave won paper rock scissors. Yeah, how did she did? Rockers I blame Stephen Che for that Well going over for and rock purposes we had memes crunch the numbers on it. You know how hard it is to go over for an RPS with no ties. He had a 1.2% chance of doing that. Like 90 only jay's 99 times out of 100 in wrestling. Jay body white. Yeah, he talked about
Starting point is 01:06:19 him. He took his he took his blow and turned it around on it. We also we we ended up losing, but we lost with class. There was the one moment where I had to correct. Yeah I was gonna say you were leading the charge of winning the class. I'm like sitting in the back like fuck this man let's go. He's like let's get out of here. I was like Will we have to remember when the Pistons walked off the floor dude like you gotta you gotta at least shake some hands but and we and none of us had any freakouts yeah, and it's it feels that way because We should have won. I know we should like we left some place on the field Like we might think that way if we were younger
Starting point is 01:06:54 But at this age is important to have that perspective if one event doesn't go your way You don't need to lose your cool. You don't need to show a ref shove a rap. You don't need to attack anybody It's important to know like hey It's just a game right so it's just a game We had fun We're all winners in my book and and I'm glad that we can look back on this week all of us and say We take pride in how we compete our team. I did too. I love our team all day I know we came up next year. Yeah, it was so much fun though
Starting point is 01:07:22 Cuz part of me like when I you know know I think I believe I broke my toe. I just want to put that out there Well, you went to the infirmary at summer camp You've been here for 48 hours and you had to go see After the nurse after will left the table the nurse came up to me and she was like So I asked him what activities he was planning on doing later on in the day And he said I played in the NFL for 10 years and she's like why did he tell me that? That is not how it went. That's what she said.
Starting point is 01:07:49 Are you calling the nurse a liar? No, the nurse is a liar about what she said. You don't respect her response. She said what you do and Garrett he had the camera on me so I'm like making Garrett laugh thinking she's gonna laugh so I took it as what do you do and I was like oh I played nine years in the NFL. I was like bouncing around a few teams but and then I was like I'm, I played nine years in the NFL. I was like, bounce around a few teams. But and then I was like, I'm just fucking with you. We're about to do swimming
Starting point is 01:08:07 games. She said, she said, but she had like a weird kind of like reaction. I was like, Okay, I guess that one didn't land. Well, she said you told her 10 years. You just said nine. Maybe I said it. You never know. You round it up. Yeah, yeah. I got as close as you can to 10 years without having 10 years. You kiss the wall. I got as close as you can. Yeah, you couldn't have gotten any closer It could not we saw the tape of you dropping those balls in it. Yeah, I mean art he clipped that up Yeah, it was the one drop I had well, I think there was a couple drops. I don't know if there's two. Hey, listen They there's a reason why you play defense. Yes, you're not supposed to catch the ball. You're not there to catch the ball
Starting point is 01:08:44 Yeah, are you are you excited for football season? Oh, yeah, I mean, of course Do you do use it's the best sport in the world? It is but do you do you have now that you've been out for what two years now? Yeah Wait, no, like you're not. Yeah. Yeah. Are there any like moments where like is there a training camp like damn? I wish I was with the boys a Little bit. I mean we went to uh instead you're you're playing swimming games Yeah, why not through the day white socks Dave and Che Che is literally your coach Yeah, and that's how you feel today. I'm like I'm gonna figure out how to go by the way
Starting point is 01:09:18 There's no worse coach or captain than Steve. Oh my god, because he has no confidence in himself or in anybody. He'll come up to you and you can put your chest out you can be like, I'm ready to go on the kayak chain. He's like, Are you sure? There was a moment yesterday where he was like, I didn't realize he was standing like basically right next to me. And someone asked me how it was going. And I was like, Chase, the fucking worst. And he goes, What? And I and I turned and I was like, Oh, I didn't see you there.
Starting point is 01:09:45 I said, Chase, the fucking worst. And he's like, fair. It's fair. Yeah. Do you miss it at all? Yeah, I do every now and then. But it's like, again, playing the games and everything out here. You truly realize like I see when I see the hits that happen. I just think to myself, I have no clue how I was out there doing that
Starting point is 01:10:06 Yeah, it was the hardest you ever got hit. Oh Man, it was this all Pro cat. I forget his name but number 76 or 78 for the Saints and it was my second year a third year and they ran this like they ran this dip later where they pulled a couple guys outside and I just fucking took off because You know you're thinking I got to get to them before they see me or get to me first Before they turn their shoulders and I ran into this cat and he caught me just at the very end and he didn't like do
Starting point is 01:10:37 A whole lot to me But he felt like I ran into a fucking brick wall and I dropped like literally right when I hit him I lost all feeling in my legs and like my my arms are kind of out wide. And I was still trying to lean and I just go down. And I can't like stand up because I hear him on the way like as he put me on the ground. He looks back he's like night night motherfucker. And I was trying to like get up to like say something back like say like a joke back But I couldn't stand up everybody's I stay down stay down And I just didn't have any like feeling in my limbs for a minute
Starting point is 01:11:10 But how long was that how long did you don't have feeling? I don't know probably like five seconds. That's scary as fuck. I'm sure yeah I mean it was like everything went stiff, but I like on the ground I'm coming together, but you kind of feel like that baby deer trying to stand up you like can't Get your bearings underneath you and then you know you go out then you get right back It's like I guess I gotta do this again go side to side you just be like hey, I'm good man, I'm solid Get me back. No, what was the beast? I did love watching will play when he was a you were a redskin, right? Not a football team. Yeah, yeah, I was a Redskins.
Starting point is 01:11:45 Loved watching you on that team. Captain Will, Captain Compton, good story. Who do you root for more? Because you played on, let's see if we can name the Will Compton teams. It's just the Redskins. One might sneak by you. Redskins, Titans, Raiders, Saints.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Yeah. You were on the Saints. I was on the Saints for a cup of coffee. Yeah, and Falcons for the drop pass. Yeah, yeah, on the Saints. I was on the Saints for a cup of coffee. Yeah. And Falcons for the drop pass. Yeah, yeah, almost Falcons. Almost Falcons. You got a workout sleeveless shirt, right? Yeah. Did you get the Tommy shirt?
Starting point is 01:12:14 Or did they say like put it back in? No. They actually, when we went there in the spring, they let us put on gear and stuff for photos, but they're like, hey, do you mind putting everything back? Yeah. So yeah, do you root for one of those teams? Or do you have like another squad? I don't know, man. Like each each of the teams I played for, I mean, outside of the Saints, because I just wasn't there very long. But like the Raiders, Titans and commanders,
Starting point is 01:12:39 I want them to do well, because it'd be it'd be it's cool to root for them. But the NFL is such a business to where like once you're removed from and you understand how the machine works, it's like you're more tied to players than you are the actual logo. Yeah, like I want the I want Washington to do well, because it was like the spot that where everything basically happened for me. So I wanted I want the Titans do well, because you I still know a few guys. And then the Raiders, it's like you still
Starting point is 01:13:04 got some players over there that I play with like max that you're just like, you want the silver and black to do well because yeah, that would be a weird moment when you there's no teammates left. Yeah, that will it was a weird moment Nebraska when I realized I didn't know anybody right locker room anymore. Right. I feel weird going back. Right. But now that I'm this far removed from football, I find myself being immersed more as a fan, like I was when I was young. Big season coming up. Yeah. For the Cornhuskers. Yeah. I dare I say make or break. I actually think you guys would be good because Matt Ruhl everywhere he's gone. His second year has been phenomenal. Yeah, I feel really good about the Huskers. Okay. I like their
Starting point is 01:13:41 schedule. Yeah. They're over under seven and a half. I think that is I think that is how those first seven easy get that I think you need to jump on that. They just named Rayola the starter. Yeah, honestly, man, I think that they could I think that they could compete this year. Was that mean? What is that? I think they could go 10 and two. Whoa. I mean, you're talking about maybe sneaking into a playoff spot. Yeah. 10 and two. Whoa. I mean, you're talking about maybe sneaking into a playoff spot. Yeah, 10 and two.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Yeah. You got to think about it when you if we're going into Ohio State, we're seven to know this is how many times have you done this exercise and it actually worked out that way? Yeah, I know. Because I understand the history, the recent history of
Starting point is 01:14:23 Nebraska to where it's like all these guys are delusional, but there's something about this year, man. But the fact that you said if we get to Ohio, I got to find the clips where you say exactly that the fact that you said, think about it, we could be going into Ohio State and we're seven and oh, you're kind of admitting that Ohio, Ohio State's about to kick your ass. They could, but I think that would be good for us. You think so? Yeah, obviously, I'm talking way onto the future like it's happening. But number one, like, yeah, if I'm trying to be, you know, everybody's like, Oh, we'll be realistic. Trust me, I want to say 12. No. But if I'm going to have some type of credibility and saying it, it's like, I got to find a couple. I don't think you should have to worry about credibility.
Starting point is 01:15:03 You know, you know what I'm saying? Okay, listen, we do we do this. I don't think you should have to worry about credibility. You know what I'm saying. But listen, we do this, we don't have credibility. You're right. There's no reason to pretend to have credibility. The fan bases that you're a part of, like if I'm just saying 1210, it's a comp. He's just delusional. Yeah, maybe throw 11 and one. But if you say 10 and two, a couple of people are like,
Starting point is 01:15:19 I mean. It sounds realistic. Well, and also, Could they? The trick is to do a couple different versions. You know what I mean? Like when people ask me like, what do you think about this bear season? I'm like, nine, 10 wins.
Starting point is 01:15:32 And they're like, what about the best? I'm like, 12, 13. Like you just throw out a couple different numbers, get a little, get a little cloudy and everywhere. Everyone's like, well, what do you say? And it's like, well, I kind of covered all my bases. That's the key. Yeah, well, I kind of covered all my bases. That's the key. Yeah, it's I'm fired up though. I think Raul is going to be a stud. We returned most of the black shirts top defense last year. Last year, we were five and seven. We had four
Starting point is 01:15:55 one score losses. Yeah, that Michigan game, if that fourth and one goes different, you probably win that game. I mean, you lost it 42 to seven. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I and they knew our signs. So they don't know them. Oh, yeah, true. That was a different school story. I gotta say, well, I was very excited to go to Nebraska. And maybe it's because the team like that game was just not really I know where you're going with this. But that was tough. That crowd was like, they died in the second series. It just felt like it felt like one of those crowds where it's like they just have been they just expect the bad thing to happen and they just
Starting point is 01:16:29 can never fully get into it and I know that like if they if they rattle off some wins this year they're unbelievable fan base no one everyone knows that they sell out everything sell the spring game but I was like damn what is going on bro I'm with you man it's like what I think it was. They scored that long drive and then like a pass got tipped. The very first player second playing they picked it. Yeah. And then when you need the crowd to be involved,
Starting point is 01:16:52 the defense getting back out there on some third and shorts, like you need the fan element to like a settle for a field goal. Ben don't break. Then you go back and tell the offense, hey, we got you. Right. Go back out there. Clean that one off. But instead, it's dead.
Starting point is 01:17:05 They drive and score. And then it is like, oh, now the and then and then it's like what? Twenty one nothing. And you got to go out in the fucking T-shirt. That was and you look that is awful. That's sort of the game. They're like, hey, start a second quarter.
Starting point is 01:17:19 You want to hit the T-shirt? You know, oh, hell yeah, that'll be awesome. And when we started to get handled, bro, I'm like, this sucks. I'm going to have to go out here and just fake it. Like, let's get loud. That's a very, very sad t-shirt, Ken. Yeah, they got to move that up to like the first quarter. He was on the little thing, too.
Starting point is 01:17:34 There's like a little buggy or something. I don't even know what it was. Dude, it was awesome. But it was like, oh fuck, this is going to look ridiculous. One cool thing about Nebraska in college football, I don't know if you've seen this map, but this is the percentage of people who live in certain parts of the country that
Starting point is 01:17:50 actively watch college football and if you look at the hot spots on the map the entire state of Nebraska Yeah, what Alabama might have us it looks like Alabama Maybe but like Nebraska it starts and ends on the border. Oh, yeah It's like once you cross this, you have to care about college football. It's oxygen out there, man. Well, I like that. It's oxygen. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, listen, I want Nebraska to be good. It'd be fun. They're one of the teams which you take in seven and a half over under. I'd have to
Starting point is 01:18:22 look at the whole schedule. I mean, I like will pull it up. I'm getting talked into it. Max, look at the whole schedule I mean I like will pull it up I'm getting talked into it just give us the whole schedule will sounds like he me game by game now listen I don't think the Badgers are gonna be that great this year we have a really tough schedule and kind of a you know I think they're gonna be I think this is gonna sound like loser talk but I think you understand what I'm saying I think they're gonna be a better team than they were last year they may not have a better record. Yeah, because you guys because it's like we have a we have to because I think fickle I think yeah, I think he's
Starting point is 01:18:51 gonna be solid and we have to play Alabama non conference, Penn State, Oregon, like it's a brutal schedule USC. So like they could end up the baddest end up being like seven and five. But I'd be be like I'm excited about the future Yeah, let's go and I'm with you. Let's go through one at a time and we'll give instant reaction win-loss Me or just you they have the easiest schedule in September Nebraska home against UTET win Never easy home against Colorado win. Oh Yeah, Dion home against Northern, Iowa win Home against Northern Iowa. When? Home against Illinois. Pielma's a fucking salty motherfucker.
Starting point is 01:19:31 Illinois is a sneaky team. Yeah, they are. I'm gonna say Ty. Ty is good. Okay, Road, Purdue. That's also another one. Yeah, it's a tough, well no, because I feel like Purdue will use their crazy good game at home
Starting point is 01:19:47 against a better team than Nebraska. Nebraska might be ranked if they're 4-0. So that could be. But they're 4-0 or they're 3-0-1. Yeah. That's a win. Home against Rutgers. So many home games.
Starting point is 01:20:03 Yeah, that's a win. That's a win, a west win. Rutgers also gonna many home games. Yeah, I know. That's a win. West win. Rutgers also gonna be salty. Some good teams. Road against Indiana. Loss. Did you know that we were playing the Indiana?
Starting point is 01:20:13 Cignetti. Yeah. I know that's your boy. That's my boy. Here comes the gauntlet. Yeah, you know what? That's gonna be a game that's actually Nebraska against JMU because Indiana got all of her best players
Starting point is 01:20:26 and they got her coach. So that's me versus you right there. Yeah, when you were talking about on the plane, I was curious, I'm like, do we play Indiana this year? Because if so, I'm assuming PFT thinks that they'll beat us. Yeah, Indiana's gonna win that game. Ready for the gauntlet? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:40 Road against the Buckeye. Loss. Home against UCLA. Win. Road against the Buckeye loss home against UCLA wait Yeah, road against USC loss home against Wisconsin Loss, okay. Here's the thing like I said Wisconsin's I don't think gonna be great this year Wisconsin handles Nebraska that game came down to the wire last year. I'm not even, but what's the record?
Starting point is 01:21:06 Yeah, when you look at it in totality. What's the record with Wisconsin-Nebraska? And you know what you're doing. You look up Wisconsin versus Nebraska Big 10. You know what you're doing right now too. Yeah. No, I'm not. I'm just looking, I'm asking for the record.
Starting point is 01:21:15 I think it's like 10 and one. Yeah, no doubt. I mean, when you took me on that walk with the fart video last year, you were kind of saying what the recency was. Yes, 10 and one. That was a close game last year. You guys should have probably won that. You say Wisconsin handles, you're just
Starting point is 01:21:28 talking in the scope of like their overall record of all time against the brass since Nebraska has been in the Big 10 but you're saying our bitch. That's a fact factor fiction. What's the record? Total? It's Wisconsin 13, Nebraska for Okay, but what about in the last, since the big 10? Because I don't know, they probably got a couple wins when they did steroids back. 10 and one?
Starting point is 01:21:53 That's crazy, I knew that. You knew that. 10 and one. You bugged it. Thank you for fact checking, boys. Yeah, yeah. That'll be a good game. You guys got our number.
Starting point is 01:22:01 No, that'll be a good game. I'll be very interested to see, because it'll be a big test for Wisconsin Yeah, and then the last game of the season is on the road, Iowa. Let's loss We got to control the border man. Do you get do you get mad when I will beat you because it's like that's what we should be doing Yeah, the only person who's like oh, yes, that's more me Nebraska at their height is
Starting point is 01:22:23 Better than Wisconsin and Iowa Iowa and Wisconsin are kind of like when Iowa beats us I'm like what the fuck cuz like we should be able to beat teams with punting and running the ball. Yeah Yeah, it's all of it to write like this. I win the brass or sim yeah But I just get pissed because it's like the Iowa team last year is basically everybody in that division But they just happen to win ten games You know what I mean, and then you got a Was his name butter being out there beating you
Starting point is 01:22:54 Make it throwing dimes against your defense and you're just thinking how in the fuck does this guy beat us? Yeah, yeah Do you think that Matt rules the kind of coach though that like if if shit goes bad is Matt rule a guy? That's gonna like turn it around. I think so. He literally just got around. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think you came across the speeches I'm sure. And I feel like like, you know, I'm sure nobody's out there watching Nebraska hard knocks, but they do have some, some nice training camp episodes out right now on YouTube. But the way he the way he interacts with the guys the words he has to say it always feels like he has the right thing to say at the right time.
Starting point is 01:23:25 I think both at Temple and Baylor, his second year is he won 10 games. I thought the first year was like one. No, no. Second year was like seven or eight. At Temple. And then he's double-digit. Yeah, yeah. But either way, he's a turnaround guy.
Starting point is 01:23:38 Yeah. Like big time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he is definitely the guy. I think he's definitely the guy. And you didn't say that about Scott Frost and if he's not I mean there were a couple yeah, we thought Scott Frost was the guy Yeah, that's a weird I wanted Scott Frost isn't too because he's like hometown boy coming back
Starting point is 01:23:55 He was part of the squad in the night. Yeah, so he's like a legend and then he comes back and then he stinks as a coach Like is he does he feel like he's not part of Nebraska anymore? I don't know. I think that'd be a good question for him because I get curious to that too. It's like, he's got to affect you. She hit him with the text. How you doing? Yeah, just being like, Hey man, you still feel like you're part of Big Red?
Starting point is 01:24:14 Okay, I can do that. Do it right now. How are you going to phrase it? I'm going to say what you just said. You're going to ask him if he feels like he's a part of Big Red? How are you gonna phrase it? I'm gonna say what you just said Maybe throw in like a I hope you know you are yeah, yeah You know just so he like feels that way Yeah, so what would you like? Hey? We're having a debate with the boys like do you still feel like you're part of Big Red? I hope you know you are. That's a good way to do it.
Starting point is 01:24:47 Also, what do you think about JJ? What do you think about the Lakers side of JJ Reddick? Thoughts on JJ Reddick? I mean, I'm just even as crazy as you've been, I actually do think like for the first time, Will, I'm actually on your side because every year that you've done the Nebraska like, we're this year is different. I'm actually on your side because every year that you've done the Nebraska, like we're at this year's different. I'm like, this guy's crazy. It's gonna end up in the same spot.
Starting point is 01:25:10 This is the first year where I'm like, he actually has a little merit. Like I think they're gonna be a pretty good team. I think they're gonna go to a bowl game for the first time in forever. How long has it been the bowl drought? It's, has it been over a decade? It hasn't really.
Starting point is 01:25:23 Might have been. Polini? It's been bad. Was Polini the last one? Or did Mike? No, Mike Riley. That was the weirdest hire ever. He started like six or seven and oh, yeah. And it's a similar schedule. You guys you guys did the same thing that Wisconsin did. Gary Anderson was our weird hire where you hire someone in Mike Riley, Utah State and Oregon State was Mike Riley, like hiring someone from the west coast being like, yeah, come coach this ball. Like, just like, like it
Starting point is 01:25:49 made no sense. None, not any, you know, we don't I don't have to, I don't have to throw shit on Mike Riley. It seems like you have you want to text him and ask him if he's still I don't have it. I don't have it. Because that the point that the time that he was there is like, you know, your staff gets fired in the end Then when he was transitioning that last group of seniors was the very last yeah around yeah So that was the time where I didn't you almost everything kind of felt we driving a Tesla Might have been or not. Maybe we could have been right nicely, but it was like a Subaru or something I was a problem was this is an oppressive maybe like a Prius
Starting point is 01:26:22 Yeah, seems like yeah, I was something like judge a lot of by a football coach based on what car he drives. Yeah I could tell you how many games he's gonna win. Yeah, like Andy Reid probably has a truck from 1996 Yeah, or even a minivan. Yeah, you could have a minivan for even would be good. Yeah Matt rule in a minivan would be kind of weird. I wonder what coach will does Your eyes a truck for you has to absolutely Yeah, He's a Chevy guy. Yeah, he's a Chevy guy. Yeah, there's no doubt. Yeah. All right. Anything else? Well, no, you guys, we're gonna see you a bunch more because you're gonna get in the office. I'm excited
Starting point is 01:26:56 for football. So you'll be a football show is gonna be fun. Yeah, what a game with the boys. Yeah, we gotta get in on some action. You had a clip that was out the other day talking about like, you know, the whole it's not about winning and losing, but having fun with your boys. Yeah, just put your money in one thing and you're all rooting for you. I can't wait for that. I say it all the time. And I know like people like all this loser talk is you know, everyone online is hitting 65% of their
Starting point is 01:27:20 bets somehow and knows the outcome after the game. But to me, obviously you bet you know what you think but there's no better feeling than when you're sitting down watching a game with all your friends and you're all like, all right, what's not what do we like? And everyone's like, all right, we like this. And then you're all in it together. And it's just like, we're pulling up for this together.'s just the best feeling you fucking love it what's gonna be your first prop bet on Thursday because you get that you got the first game no no right no Ravens Chiefs yep is that one on Thursday yeah Ravens Chiefs Bears played noon on on first week one against the high Sunday yeah Sunday against time off you know what I love here's what I'm putting noon on on first week one against Sunday. Yes, Sunday
Starting point is 01:28:05 against time off on you know what I love? Here's here's what I'm putting my money on this year. I'm going to go big on this. Kind of a sharp play. Kansas City Chiefs over 11 and a half wins. Yeah, how Oh yeah, here we go. Rollback question rhobhk.com promo code take 20% off first purchase q zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Thank you for bringing that up PFT because Goddamn were you so stupid about the Chiefs last year?
Starting point is 01:28:30 Why did you do that in hindsight? Just like you just said? Yeah guys 65% of you know, but that's the one guy But that's the one guy you said they weren't gonna make the playoffs That was my hot take when it, a takes got to be hot, right? They should all be hot. And that's one where it's like, you know what? And I remember so vividly after week one when they lost the Lions. When they lost to the Lions, you were like, I am the fucking smartest man alive. I'm telling you this, the year where they start to go down. Well, there's good. There has to be one person every year that has that take.
Starting point is 01:29:01 It's the same. It's the same person that was like, this is the year that Tom Brady falls off. Yeah. And Father Time catches up. Right. There's always somebody that's out there being like, I don't believe in the Chiefs anymore. There's it's gonna be a lot harder to not believe in the Chiefs this year. But in the take game, like those are the certain there's certain teams you just don't like I would never be like, oh, the Chiefs are going to suck this year. It's just like you just it's Patrick Holmes. Where Chiefs fans giving you a lot of shit. You don't you just it's patch from homes. What she says giving you a lot of shit. You don't think all they give
Starting point is 01:29:27 me shit all the time. It's yeah, I get it's like it's fun. Yeah, but you don't think the that division Raiders Broncos chargers. Yeah, I'm gonna be chargers will be better for sure. I know I don't think that division is going to give them any problems. I'm sure not to worry about are you doing this again? Are you doing it again? I mean, I'm doing it again. You're doing it again. Twelve wins. No, I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:29:53 You're doing this again, Will. I think that division is going to be scrappy. We'll do it again. Yeah. Will, what are you talking about? Scrappy top to bottom. So you're telling you we have 10 wins. Nine. I think I think they make the playoffs. I
Starting point is 01:30:09 don't think they win the division. Oh, Will, Will, Will, Will. Okay. Don't do this dude. Will's that mouse that keeps going back and touching the electric. I can't believe it. He's like, I'm gonna get this cheese next time. Yeah, we're literally just talking about it. You just did it again. Yeah, but man, and I know deep in that brain, you're like, I'm gonna get this cheese next time. Yeah, we're literally just talking you just you just did it again Yeah, but man and you I know deep in that brain you're like, yeah It could be a scrappy division top to bottom. You're gonna be interesting. You're gonna feel so smart though if it hits I think the Chargers will be because I believe in Harbaugh will be better But I I don't think they're there. They have they're doing a full roster overall. I think the Raiders are gonna be better. Herbert?
Starting point is 01:30:46 Yeah my homes Bo Nicks my homes You heard him issue. Oh you're taking a second my homes Bro I'm telling you I think Why do you hate the chiefs I don't hate the job feels personal feels like. Why do you hate the Chiefs? I don't hate the Chiefs. No, it feels personal.
Starting point is 01:31:06 Feels like you hate the Chiefs as much as Max hates JJ Raddick. In your brief time in Las Vegas, did you develop that hatred for the Chiefs? No, not like that. I think it just developed over, like it's starting there, but I didn't hate the Chiefs. You just knew that that was a big rivalry. It sounds like a guy who hates the Chiefs. No, I don't hate the Chiefs. Yeah. A lot of good friends on that team.
Starting point is 01:31:26 Oh, like who? Harrison Buckner, Buckner. Oh, good friend. Good friend. Great friend. Travis Kelsey. He dropped a fire quote about Winston Churchill the other day. He did.

Starting point is 01:34:07 catching Hank's pop-ups with my other hand. It was a great game. Remember that game of softball? Big Cat was lighting it up from the mound, absolutely lights out, twirled the gym out there. Hank was mad that he couldn't pitch like I can. Does it sound like Hank?

Okay, we now welcome on a recurring guest, little bit of a better setting than last year when he was on, it is comedian Sam Morell.
Starting point is 01:35:36 Sam, first of all, welcome to the new office. We promised you last time you were here, we were in like a closet that we'd be in a little bit of a better spot, so here we are. This is crazy. Yeah. But great to have you. I think last time there was a toilet that was flushing
Starting point is 01:35:51 in the background the entire time. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. We had a pipe running through our studio, so whenever somebody would flush upstairs, we would just get a big dump going through our studio. It was a dark time for us. We just, there was a couple guests that came through
Starting point is 01:36:02 and were like, we swear, like, we didn't move to Chicago for this, and now we're here. So, yeah. No, this is insane. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty, it's pretty nice. So, you have a new special out on Amazon. Yeah. And you were saying to me earlier,
Starting point is 01:36:17 your new special's out, but now you have to get a new special, and that's the hard part about comedy. It never goes away, man. It's painful, yeah. It's like, people are like, oh my God, you have a new hour out. I'm like, yeah, cool, I have to start at fucking zero. Yeah. You're just like in the, you know, you're just in it.
Starting point is 01:36:34 You feel like you're in spring training. You're just out of shape and shitty, and you're like, no, I swear I'm good at this. But then they come out and I'm like, it's gonna be all new shit. Yeah. Do you ever get a moment to be like, oh, that was awesome. I'm gonna take some time to enjoy that. No. Well, you're addicted to comedy. Yeah. You you ever get a moment to be like, Oh, that was awesome. I'm going to take some time to enjoy that. No.
Starting point is 01:36:45 Well, you're addicted to comedy. Yeah. You have an actual like an addiction. Yeah, it's hard. Uh, it's hard to I really don't really i'm not good at celebrating ever. I'm not I was never like a birthday guy I was never like, oh, this is awesome No, I I I like the grind of of starting to zero back on the road and just having to Having to build it again. It's humbling. It keeps you from being a piece of shit. Wait, so you didn't celebrate the Amazon special coming out for even a week? No.
Starting point is 01:37:15 What are you doing it for? I was getting too frustrated. They were just turning down. Every time I'd be like, hey, what should we market your clip as and everything they'd suggest, I'd be like, well, that's not a joke. They'd be like a setup and they'd be like, what should we market your clip as and everything they'd suggest me? Well, that's not a joke They'd be like a setup and they'd be like that's that's it and I'm like, no, here's nine options They were like none of those work. Yeah, and I was like, what do you mean? They're like what's a bad representation of Amazon and I was like what's on Amazon? Yeah, you know
Starting point is 01:37:37 And then I'd see like what they would post. Otherwise, it'd be like Homelander from the boys sucking on a woman's breast Yeah, I'd be like this is okay You gotta be careful because like whatever they choose to market your stand up with, that's what people are going to see. Yeah. And then they'll assume that's the entire thing. Like Netflix, they put out a bad clip of Joe Rogan.
Starting point is 01:37:53 Yeah. And everyone's like, Joe Rogan is the worst per- he's the worst stand up comedian ever. And so it's just like what they market you as is not always what's contained in the special. It's usually like someone 22, fresh out of college, who's like, you know, like, this should be like an important job.
Starting point is 01:38:07 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right, so you're, did you also get almost called a pedophile? Not to my knowledge. I was gonna say, wait, no, there was some, one of your jokes, I feel like, went viral and people were like, this guy. Recently, maybe I'm-
Starting point is 01:38:23 Pedophile. Yeah, maybe it wasn't a pedophile. was that a new one and I've never heard it No, it's really yeah, probably for the best Remember someone maybe posted one of your jokes and everyone was like trying to take it out of context and it was like what this Bullshit like he's a comedian. That's the hard thing those clips right cuz it's like you put him on social media It's like it's like a comedy club where someone's opening the door and being like that's fucked up. Yeah, right Oh, it's not for you. Right. Mm-hmm I don't I've definitely have a lot of pedo jokes.
Starting point is 01:38:47 That was a bad question by me, being like, hey, did you get accused of being a pedophile? Yeah, now this is gonna get, be part of some video. Yeah, at least address it. Hypothetically, what would your response be if somebody were to accuse you of being a pedophile, Sam? I would say Kevin Spacey was exonerated.
Starting point is 01:39:03 Maybe I'll have similar luck. I don't, yeah't I have a lot I definitely had a lot of pedo I did joke back in the day about how like the best thing about pedophile jokes is like No one ever gets offended. Yeah, there's no one's gonna be like no one's gonna stand up in the crowd Like that's that's enough, right? You know, I don't stand enough for them. I had a lot of pedo jokes in my last special I don't know if I had any in this one Did Amazon say like let's not include those in the clips? They asked me not to include one joke in the special.
Starting point is 01:39:29 They asked me to cut one joke. And my friends are like, dude, fuck that shit. You're an artist. I'm like, what are you talking about? I get the joke back. I was thrilled. I opened on a joke that was like, my friend, I texted her she was pregnant.
Starting point is 01:39:43 I said, congrats on the baby, she just had a baby, and she sent me back a picture of her breastfeeding, and I was like, oh, okay, and then she wrote, sorry if that's like the female equivalent of a dick pic, and I was like, I think it'd be way worse if I sent you a picture of a baby sucking my penis. And that was my first joke, I just thought it was like a quick, fun joke,
Starting point is 01:39:58 and they were like, can you not open on that? And I was like, well, it's kinda hard to move it, kinda hard to put it in like the middle of the special, so then that was an issue. And then I was just like, well, I'll just keep it. I'll just do it. Yeah. Yeah. That's a bonus. Yeah. There must be just one less joke that you have to write when you're talking about new material, right? I know. Yeah. That's the tough thing. But I mean, look, they didn't ask me to cut anything. They were just like, this will fuck it up in the algorithm. People will get... It's
Starting point is 01:40:23 so funny. They always could say that, algorithm. I know. Like anytime anyone's... They're just like, oh yeah, well funny You're like they always could say that algorithm. I know like anytime anyone's there's like, oh, yeah Well, we got to do this for the algorithm. I'm like, okay I know sure take your shirt off and make this, you know, tick-tock video for the algorithm. All right, that's Bert It must also be weird taping a special and like you tape it and you know that it was good You're happy with your performance, but then you have to wait and be like, well, I don't know if the actual standup special is gonna be good because there's so much else
Starting point is 01:40:49 that goes into putting out a video of your performance than actually just doing the performance live, right? I felt good about it. We did four shows, which is stupid. It's a huge waste of money, but I liked it. I did seven when I did one in Chicago. I'm a psycho.
Starting point is 01:41:02 Wow. I'll just keep taping. I'm like, no, let's just keep taping them. I'm just watching money just disappear from my account, but I'm like, no, it'll be psycho. I'll just keep taping. I'm like, no, let's just keep taping them. I'm just watching money just disappear from my account. But I'm like, no, it'll be cool. Just keep taping it. And yeah, by the fourth one, I knew, we had a good moment too where a woman, I didn't want hecklers, but like if someone heckled,
Starting point is 01:41:17 I didn't wanna put any crowd work in the actual special because there's so much crowd work on the internet right now. And I was like, I'm just gonna do start to finish jokes. But one woman heckled a joke and I was like, I kinda gotta keep this in, because it was a quick moment. But I just said the words Fox News and she was like, boo! And I was like, a joke is coming. It's not like a joke is not coming.
Starting point is 01:41:35 I'm just gonna say the words Fox News. And then she was like, I'm sorry. And I was like, hold on, I've never heard a woman say that before, let me take that in. So that was like a fun, quick one, but I'm like, I'm not gonna, I didn't want crowd work in the special. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:47 What is it about hecklers? What's the mentality of someone that goes to a comedy show and is like, you know what, now's my time to chip in. It's a good question. I mean, alcohol, maybe just that you, you know, you're that person. I think you probably lack a self-awareness
Starting point is 01:42:03 and maybe your group of friends around you is always like, you're that person. There's like think you probably lack a self-awareness and maybe your group of friends around you is always like egg You're that person. There's like a weird thing of someone's like why I tell it like it is. I'm like, well, that's not a talent Yeah Yeah, the person was like I said it like anyone can say it. Yeah, say it cleverly Yeah I wonder if those people if they're like that every single show they go to or if something snaps I know like I can't hold back anymore I think it's also like I know because I've seen
Starting point is 01:42:26 Shane do a couple shows and I think that there's it is a good thing that you want your your fans to feel this affinity towards you. But I think a lot of hecklers show up there being like, I'm going to make Shane Gillis laugh. Yeah. And you're like, well, you're probably not because he's very, very funny. And also he's doing a show.
Starting point is 01:42:43 But like in their head, they're like, this is my moment. Yeah, I'm gonna make him laugh and then we're gonna be best friends. Totally Yeah, Shane is you know, you might make him laugh at the bar afterwards, but on stage, right? Shane is like his fans are also probably just all guttural alcoholics, you know Yeah, Shane's insanely funny, but his fans Shane drinks heavily. Yeah, and like we've been we've been with him It's times. It's like Oh, we've been with him many times. It's like a video game when I see him just like, how do I get around Shane without getting blackout drunk? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:11 And I lose most times, but I saw him in Nashville just recently. I was passing through Nashville. I was at some Post Malone concert. It was really fun. I see Shane. He's like, your beer looks light. I'm like, it's not like a see-through glass. You don't know what it's like. But he just assumes you have another beer. And I'm like, I'm hung over. I've been, I flew in that day. I'm like, all right, I'll have one. And he's like, he just keeps an eye on everybody. He's like making sure he's like a fucking bad cop. Well, the, the, we, we did, he did a case race with us on the yak and I made the mistake of just being like, Oh, I think like you and I will be like the two heavy hitters. It was
Starting point is 01:43:42 like dissing Jordan. Like he was just like, oh yeah? And then he like took a part, afterwards he's like, yeah, you shouldn't have said that because he just dominated everyone. And I was like, yeah, I probably shouldn't have. That was a mistake. He puts him back. It's impressive.
Starting point is 01:43:54 I like that he's like a coach. He sees people that aren't drinking enough and he's like a football guy, he's a football player. So he just gives you tough love. He's like, come on pussy. Let's go one more rep. Get it in. It was brutal. It was him and Joe DeRosa who were just both, Joe's 46. Let's go one more rep. Get it in. It was brutal.
Starting point is 01:44:05 It was him and Joe DeRosa who were just both, Joe is 46, Joe's gotta slow down. Joe is like that dude. He like, you know that friend who's like, kinda happy to be at a funeral because it's an excuse to do shots? Yeah. Or he's like, we gotta do this for Steve.
Starting point is 01:44:19 I'm like, you fucking love this dude. You love that he died. Yeah. Another party. Wait, how old are you? I'm 37. Okay, so you still got some. I got a couple more years.
Starting point is 01:44:28 It's hurting, I'm hurting now. I had a few martinis last night with Chris DeStefano. We're getting hammered at Shaw's Crab House. He's with his family. We're just pounding martinis. He's like, let's go on a boat tour. So we're doing like, and by the way, boat tour with a woman just narrating.
Starting point is 01:44:44 So it's like her comedy show where she's like, don't interrupt me, no sound. And I'm like, so we just got drunk and we have to be quiet. So now I'm in my head, I'm like, yeah, you can't, you gotta be respectful. It's her thing. But we're just like staring at each other, shit-faced, looking at your beautiful city.
Starting point is 01:44:58 Yeah. Both knowing it was a mistake to get on that boat. He had a great, I think he liked it. The architecture tours are kind of cool here. It's very cool. It's beautiful. Yeah, a lot of fun facts. It was also a perfect weather on that boat. He had a great, I think he liked it. The architecture tours are kind of cool here. It's very cool. It's beautiful. Yeah. A lot of fun facts.
Starting point is 01:45:07 It was also a perfect weather day. Oh my God. You get one of those perfect, like, So good. Not too hot. It was like Chicago summer days. It was like 10 PM, it was late. Oh yeah, you guys went after dinner?
Starting point is 01:45:17 Yeah. Jesus Christ. I didn't know they did night tours, yeah. It was cool. I'll check that out. It was very cool. So, you are addicted to comedy. Have you taken any breaks?
Starting point is 01:45:25 I did a little bit last year, which is what how long a week? Fucking crazy. I I it's so painful to get back into comedy It's so to stop and then have to start again is so it's excruciating. I hate going on feeling weak as a comic I like always knowing I'm in comedy shape and And I like touring I've talked to like legends in comedy shape and I like touring. I've talked to legends in comedy who are like, you're burning yourself out, which is totally true, but what else am I going to do? I always wanted to make a TV show or a movie. I'm working on stuff like that, but in the meantime, I want to go all, Stan is my favorite thing
Starting point is 01:45:58 to do. Yeah, I mean I laugh at it, but also whenever we take a week vacation, I'm like, I want to talk about sports. I know. I get the itch where I'm starting starting to go a little stir crazy my brain where it's like I don't have this outlet and you can't relax for like an extended period of time. Yeah, it's You you've gotten to this level because you guys are workaholics Yeah, you don't get to where you got you don't get this studio by being like I'm going to Mykonos next week No, you fucking work your ass off.
Starting point is 01:46:26 I did go to Mykonos this summer. Did you? Yeah. All right. You guys are falling off. We came back. We did tape while I was there to talk about NBA free agency. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:35 That's cool. So there was that. So it's not really a full trip, but like, are you, do you think you're workaholic in the true sense of the word? Like no matter what you were doing, you would be like this? Or is it just comedy? Probably comedy. I really like what I do, so I'm pretty fortunate. Yeah, if I hated what I did, I would probably not be going crazy working at it.
Starting point is 01:46:52 But also, when people say workaholic, it's just hilarious to me, because I'm like, I did two sets last Monday. It's like 15 minutes each. Yeah. Less than an hour a day at work. Our job is awesome. Be like, you're a fucking workaholic. I was home in an hour 15. Yeah, when I say like I'm a workaholic
Starting point is 01:47:10 It's like oh you did a three hour video game stream. Exactly. Yeah, I guess I am guilty as charged My podcast is literally me getting shitfaced and and people like you had a hard day at work Like you work all day. I'm like I was drunk with my friends. Yeah. Yeah, it's not pretty bad rules Yeah, it sounds fun. So you do you tour a lot you do a hard day at work, like you work all day, I'm like, I was drunk with my friends. Yeah. Yeah. It's not hard. Pretty bad rules. Yeah, that sounds fun. So you do, you tour a lot, you do a lot of shows. You're going to Europe, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:31 Going to Amsterdam? Never been. That'll be fun. Only there at night, unfortunately. We added a show. I can't believe, that's the weird thing is like, you undersell in some places and, and then plays like Amsterdam, we added a show.
Starting point is 01:47:41 It's crazy. Do you have to like plan ahead to see, cause they- Anne Frank House? Well, stand up comedy is like- I gotta get tickets like a show, it's crazy. Do you have to plan ahead to see? Anne Frank House? Well, stand up comedy is like- I gotta get tickets like six weeks out for that thing. I know. Hot ticket. I don't wanna be calling my agent, you gotta get me in.
Starting point is 01:47:52 It is crazy, but when you're doing show, I would imagine that different audiences react differently to different jokes, right? Yeah. When you're traveling overseas, there's also maybe a small language barrier sometimes. Do you have to think about which jokes like a Dutch audience is gonna be into totally?
Starting point is 01:48:07 Yeah, you don't sometimes you can groom your set you go all the way through it and then by the way groom That's yeah, here we go. That's why I got a file, but no you go through it and then you don't realize till you're mid Set and you're like fuck they don't have Panda Express in London, you know You're just like shit. I don't I don't know. So yeah, it's stressful. You don't realize till midway through, but the shit that's universal is so funny. I had a joke in my special about like, like I went down a girl and it was,
Starting point is 01:48:35 I didn't know how long it was down there, but it was at least 22 minutes because the entire episode of Frasier played in the background. And like how, you know, I'm like fucking Niles. Like I had a whole thing about that. And everyone like applauds when I say Niles in Australia. Like Niles is that global.
Starting point is 01:48:47 He's huge. So it's funny the shit that people don't mix, but then they don't catch, but then the stuff they do catch you're like, wow, this is global. Yeah. Yeah. We got to talk about your Knicks. Yeah, dude. Jalen Brunson.
Starting point is 01:48:59 I love him so much. I couldn't love a player more. He clearly like someone's paying him. Someone's paying him in New York City. I hope so. Yeah. There's gotta be something. To leave that kind of money on the table. Like, dude, I was at so many games this year and like, I can't remember loving a player this much. I mean, I love Starks and Ewing and Oak and the 90s Knicks so much, Mason, but like that team was lovable in like a way like they're going to fuck you up. that team was lovable in a way like,
Starting point is 01:49:25 they're gonna fuck you up. These guys are lovable and they're best, we're just watching best friends win together. It's awesome. Yeah, right. It is cool and I feel like, for the most part, people root against New York City at a national level. But with the Knicks-
Starting point is 01:49:36 Oh, you know why. Yeah. Why the Knicks is my question. I understand the Yankees also had that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yankees. Because you're also Yankees fans. That's fair. That's kinda like the map that we do in our head.
Starting point is 01:49:44 But the Knicks were so good and so fun that I feel like, for the most part, America didn't hate the Knicks. We loved watching the Knicks because they were a fun team to play. It was cool watching them, like you said, friends from college playing on the same team, having success in the NBA playoffs. And their style of play, I feel like it translates.
Starting point is 01:50:03 It's like universal. So we loved them. It's beautiful. It's like what you hear the 60s and 70s Knicks played like just moving the ball you know the injuries did us in but like I think this year we're pretty good it just hurt so much to lose Hardenstein he's like he was one of my faves. Yeah. He's a bruiser he's a high IQ guy great passer like I loved how he played. Yeah yeah I. I mean, Jalen Brunson is so much fun. I mean, like he bet on himself and like the fact that he just ended up in New York where like people love that style, like New York point guards and all that stuff. It's awesome. We never had that guy either. Like look at a few, who are we starting? Shane
Starting point is 01:50:38 Larkin. Yeah. You know, I'm like, uh, fucking Tony Douglas. No disrespect to these guys, but like, no, all the new respect to them. You don't, you being these guys, but like no all the new respect You've been a player but but they're barely NBA players Yeah, we have a guy who's like I think it's fair to say he's at he's in the combo of a top-ten guy in my But he's definitely in my top ten. Yeah, you know, I sure people argue that but he's a hell of a player yeah, I got an argument cuz I was like I I Superstars in the NBA are like there's like five of them Yeah, and I was like he's not a superstar yet and Nick's fans were very upset about that I was like he's he's on the way. You gotta be like I would go against that though
Starting point is 01:51:12 Yeah, he elevates in the playoffs of course to me like you have to okay Is he a is he a regular season superstar debate it will find but you got to put a guy like Jimmy Butler in that conversation Too guys he's not a superstar, me either. But in the playoffs he is. Yeah, yeah. And I also think he's gonna be there. Like him and Anthony Edwards are gonna be superstars where it's like the face of the NBA in a year or two. Where it's like that was the first deep run
Starting point is 01:51:35 for Jalen Brunson and this next year is gonna be a big year for him. And if he goes deep again, it's like, oh shit, this guy is, he's the real deal. He is the real deal. He is the real deal. He is the real deal. And he's fearless and a closer, just losing, we don't have depth at the big, I loved Hardenstein.
Starting point is 01:51:51 I knew he was leaving because I DM'd with him a little and I invited him to the Comedy Cellar and he said, oh man, I would've, but I'm in Houston. I was like, would've? This is a week out, you know? So I know it means he's not coming back. Do you ever feel weird DMing players? No because um, It's not like I'm like a fucking chick sliding in all these
Starting point is 01:52:11 But I'm just like a great game occasionally great game or something and he good game. Yeah Yeah, he had so many huge plays. Well, does he follow you? Yeah. All right, that's it. That's a totally normal So that that's why I did it. I wanted I'm not just cold sliding in but like he That's a totally normal thing. That's why I did it. I'm not just cold sliding in, but like, he, yeah, we were at a game and he came over to high five me in the playoffs and Chris DiStefano and his fucking meatball cop friend
Starting point is 01:52:33 got in front of us to try to intercept the high five. And I was like, what the hell are you doing? That was my high five. That was my high five. And he like went away like shaking his head cause this guy was like 300 pounds of muscle, Chris's cop friend. And like, he's like, no one's taking that high five.
Starting point is 01:52:44 You have to break your hand. And then after the game like he's like no one's taking that high five Yeah, break your hand. Yeah, and and then after the game he DM me I tried to high five you but some dumbass got in front of you and I just showed the Chris ago You're the dumbass Cost me a fucking playoff high five. I Loved him. I love I mean the energy of the garden was something unlike It is special. I I was Skeptical because I was like it can't be that much different but then I went to a playoff game two years ago and I was like okay
Starting point is 01:53:10 this is pretty sick that was against Atlanta you mean the Cavs the series oh yeah that was a good one but I was just like this is sick like this is that you could tell that everyone's just in it and it's so loud throughout the entire game dude it was it was epic I mean here in Tracy Morgan, I was lucky enough to get a good seat some of those games. One game Tracy Morgan just, he turns behind to it, look at us and he goes, real animals eat meat. I'm like, I don't know what that means. We're just like, hell yeah, dude.
Starting point is 01:53:38 It means something in that moment. It meant something. The way that he says it, you're like, he's right. We were like nodding. We're like, fuck yeah, they do, dude. Yeah, and you had all the old Knicks there, which was a little depressing because it wasn't like, you know It's they're good. There were good players, but not like oh man our Kings a legend Yeah, but like it was like Steph, Steph Marbury and like he's a nice hot a Meyer. Yeah
Starting point is 01:53:59 I love hey Mar gave us one of the best half seasons. He did that was a beautiful thing Yeah, you look Marbury, it didn't work out. That was a tough era. Yeah. That was a tough one. But he's a New York kid, and I think his story is still pretty cool. It is.
Starting point is 01:54:12 So I was having this conversation with a couple of buddies the other day, the New York Sports Mount Rushmore. Yeah. It's kind of depressing, because it's probably all Yankees. I was thinking about it, and I was like, is it all Yankees? Whoa. So it's either Ruth mantle. Yeah. But then you, but then you say we could go like 10 deep. True. But, and then, and then it's better than a lot of other teams. But you were absolutely, because maybe Mariano Rivera is not even on it. Yeah. Yeah. He would,
Starting point is 01:54:38 I think I, I settled on mantle, Ruth, uh, Mo and Jeter. But like- Demagio. Demagio. You can't put Mantle over Demagio. So Demagio over Mantle, but then like what other sport would get in? Joe Namath? No, he sucked. No, he's not. Eli would get in over Joe.
Starting point is 01:54:55 Eli is definitely in over Joe. Yeah, but like it's kind of depressing when you think about the other sports, you're like who else? Frazier and Reid are pretty iconic. Yeah. But the Yankees are so iconic. I get why.
Starting point is 01:55:06 I mean you didn't say Garrick. Like Luke Garrick's numbers are fucking stupid. Right. And you're leave off like Mark Messier and like there's a bunch of, but like the Yankees are just the Yankees. Lawrence Taylor. Yeah, Lawrence Taylor. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:20 But I think it's all Yankees. Gretzky. Yeah, but Gretzky at the end. You know, Messier was older when he was a Ranger. Lundquist, like, but it's all Yankees, probably. Yeah, Lundquist. If you had to do it. He's a man, that guy is. He still is. He's still a gorgeous guy. Yeah. I mean, would Ewing even touch it? It's just tough because of the Yankees, you said, and the winning, but like, yeah, Ewing, I love Ewing so much. Yeah. I mean, that voiceover he did for Brunson, I was like, fuck. I love that
Starting point is 01:55:42 we didn't even consider any Mets on this list. No yeah, yeah, the problem is like who makes it when he dykes doc. Yeah Yeah, it's kind of depressing like it's not there's a lot of cities where you're like boom. That's the Mount Rushmore Yeah, and then the New York yeah, the Yankees can fill it up But then you're like wait we don't even have any other sports I think for the Knicks you got to put Stephen a Smith on There yeah Think about Stephen a during the playoffs like they made the game about Stephen A Smith? Well, isn't that what he always does? Yeah, I was shocked to see that Stephen A Smith made it Did you think at any point like hey the Pacers are also playing in this or because you're new
Starting point is 01:56:16 You're a New Yorker through and through you're like no, this is just how coverage should be. No, I knew it was not okay for But I also don't really watch him to be honest. Like I kind of like mute until the game starts. I don't want to watch his halftime show, it's awful. I mean, when they go from TNT to him, I'm like, this is the biggest turnaround I've ever seen. Yeah, he just kind of, it's like, you know when you play in the park with someone
Starting point is 01:56:40 who's like an ISO guy and doesn't pass to anyone? That's what he does. And then you see Ernie and he's like dishing it out. He's getting everyone cooking. It's like, it's just not good TV to me. No. Yeah. It was very strange. I kept feeling like they were just giving the Pacers more ammo. It's like, this is exactly what they want. Well, they won because of the injuries. I know that I'm going to get shit every time I say this, but it's like, they're not beating us without... I mean, we didn't have one starter who's our current starter playing with Brunson Yeah, it was pretty bad at the end. Yeah, it was it was and Brunson broke his hand. I was at that game
Starting point is 01:57:10 That was hell. I feel where do you land on the Tibbs argument? He's great But like I know the injuries weren't exactly, you know, some of them were freak injuries But this is what I struggled with with the Bulls It's like he gets his teams to play so hard throughout the regular season, and they just run out of gas in the playoffs, and they get injured, and they just, everything falls apart. We're in love.
Starting point is 01:57:30 I mean, is he toxic? Who knows? You know, like, if I love a girl that's treating me like shit, I still love her. So I don't know, you're asking the wrong guy. I love Tibbs. Like, I think he's, they buy in. If you don't buy into Tibbs, yeah, he's not right,
Starting point is 01:57:43 but if the best player and all the other best players buy in like Randall bought in before Brunson Brunson buys in no They do they all die. I mean they all play so hard for him Oh gee is the only one that worries me a little because of his durability and same with Mitch of course But like I think if they're healthy for the playoffs, we're like we're tough We just need that backup five like a Hardenstein was so valuable. Yeah. He's such a good player. So what happens next year? I think we have to see how this plays out. Cause part of me is like, is our defense going to be insane or are we going to,
Starting point is 01:58:15 is our shooting not going to be quite good enough without Dante in the lineup? So, uh, I mean, but the length defensively with Bridges and, uh, an OG and then Randall just beating you up. I mean, this, it defensively with bridges and an OG and then Randall just beating you up. I mean, this, it could be a physical team. Yeah. Yeah. And a fun team to root for too.
Starting point is 01:58:31 Yeah. Look, Boston is an amazing team, but they're just not fun. Tatum is not fun. Does he have aura? He has no aura. Yeah. You think Tatum, I don't know. No, no, no, we're not sure.
Starting point is 01:58:40 We're firmly on the no aura. I mean, Brown has some aura. Oh, he's definitely got aura. I think Tatum has no aura. I mean, Brown has some aura. Oh, he's definitely got aura. I think Tatum has no aura. I think Drew has aura. Yeah. But Tatum is like, once your mom starts being like, this isn't fair, it's like, shut the fuck up, dude.
Starting point is 01:58:53 Who gives a shit? Like this isn't, no, you don't get greatness from a supportive mom. You're not an alpha, Tony Soprano had a bad mom. He's a fucking alpha. LeBron's mom's fucking his teammates, he's an alpha. You need a bit of like, yeah, maybe he should be on the bench.
Starting point is 01:59:10 Look at the numbers, he should have been on the bench in Team USA, he wasn't a good enough spot up shooter. Devin Booker's a better spot up shooter, and then he doesn't play the D that Drew plays, like he should have been, he's a great player who should have been not getting minutes over LeBron or KD. Yeah, I- His mom needs to be crazier, I like that take, yeah. I wonder too, if they hadn't won the title, have been, he's a great player who should have been not getting minutes over LeBron or KD. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:26 I'm needs to be crazier. I like that take. Yeah. I wonder too, if they hadn't won the title, would this conversation even be happening? Cause it was more like, I mean, Tatum's a very good player. He should have probably played more minutes than just not playing some games, but if they don't win, are people as up in arms about no way not playing? Well, he kind of anointed himself.
Starting point is 01:59:43 He's like, I'm the face of the NBA. And we're like, did you, did you run that by anyone else? Yeah. Cause there's Anthony Edwards. Yeah. We have Devin Booker is a great young player. Luca, uh, Jalen Brunson is a great young player. People have forgotten about Giannis.
Starting point is 01:59:57 I have. I know you haven't cause you see you were heavily recruiting him. I was. And I know that I, I, I fucked up last time. I was here saying he'll definitely come to the Knicks. Yeah. And guess what? I'm not, and I'm not done saying it could still have yourself No, I blame you demon. I Diomed his brother and I got left on read. Oh shit. I got left on he follows me. I thought it was safe
Starting point is 02:00:18 So you'd help the NASA's? Yeah, I did their benefit a couple years ago and dude I, I killed. I went up and I got a applause break from Mayor Adams on an AIDS joke. I was like, I'm fucking locked in right now. I did this old Magic Johnson joke about how, you know, my ex was like, you're not crying during this breakup, you cried during the Magic Johnson documentary, and I was like, you think you're in the same inspiration category?
Starting point is 02:00:40 Imagine if you played in the All-Star game with HIV, you wouldn't fuck me when you had a headache. And I look into the crowd and Mayor Adams is like this, and I'm like, man, you played in the All-Star game with HIV, you wouldn't fuck me when you had a headache. And I look into the crowd and Mayor Adams is like this, and I'm like, man, I'm fucking crushing. And I see Giannis and his brother in the crowd going, I was like, oh, they're so innocent, you know? And then his brother was like, hit me up if you're ever in Greece.
Starting point is 02:00:56 And I was in Greece and I hit him up and he just left me undressed. That's tough. But that's also a great move by him to be like, cause you know, you always be like, oh yeah, I'll see you next time. You're like time hit me up if you're in Greece. No one ever actually Follows through except you I follow I never I never do it, but I was like I'm in Greece Yeah, and I think he's told me and I kind of want to I want to see Greece with the onto Senate coupos
Starting point is 02:01:17 You know yeah the way they see it. Yeah, yeah, but uh No, I don't think I blew it. I think you know it's he was He's loyal. I think it was a really dumb decision to be loyal because Dame is getting older, Doc is not the greatest coach in the world, and Brook Lopes is getting older, Middleton's injury prone, I think, you know.
Starting point is 02:01:35 This might be the year you honest complaints. I'd be shocked. You wouldn't be shocked? No, I would be a little shocked. I don't know though, but like what you just laid out and like if it doesn't go well and they went all in on the Dame thing, this could be the year where he's like,
Starting point is 02:01:52 what the fuck is going on here? He's been, there's something about the European players, they don't really, like maybe it's cultural, they just don't like complain the same way that our guys have complained in the last like five years that have kind of ruined the NBA in some ways. Luca, he complains.
Starting point is 02:02:08 Yeah, Luca complained. But mostly to the... But Jokic has never, Janis has never like... Isn't that interesting? Yeah. Janis is, I think Jokic doesn't care enough. He's like just like the great guy who's like, yeah, whatever.
Starting point is 02:02:19 He's the best dude ever. He's like, I happen to be great at basketball. I have, yeah, exactly. It's like a side hustle for his horse racing. And then Janis is so competitive that I think part of him's like, I don't want people to forget how great I am. Right. This might be the redemption year
Starting point is 02:02:31 because we kind of have forgotten. Like if you ask people right now, top five, he sometimes gets left off because he's been injured. He can't be just because of what he does on TV. Agreed, totally agreed. Like he is top five, but because we haven't seen, you know, they got bounced against the heat in the first round and then this year he was brutal. But that's what I'm saying. That's why Jimmy, you have to say in the playoffs as a super star, because what
Starting point is 02:02:51 he did was insane and it gives me no pleasure to give love to Miami fans. Yeah. Did you, did you take any joy watching team USA? Cause you root against most of these guys. No, no, no. You have to put all that aside. It's amazing. It's like I'm proud to be an American. I mean, it's an incredible thing to watch LeBron with Barack Obama gray hairs throwing down crazy dunks. KD hidden fat nut closing shots against Serbia Steph looking like a phenom. Like, no, it was a beautiful thing. I loved it. And uh, no, I took so much joy. It also was to me like the significance of just like it felt like an era ending, you know, because those guys, Steph LeBron, KD, if you had to bet, would you bet any of them to win another title?
Starting point is 02:03:32 I probably wouldn't. No. Right. So it's like kind of not in this current, right? It's kind of like the end of like this era of basketball for America where it's like they went out on top. The Avengers, right? It's literally Tony Stark dying
Starting point is 02:03:45 Oh spoiler never seen it. Oh fuck. Yeah. God damn it. The Shawn McCoy. Wait Tony I thought Tony Stark was the Green Goblin or whatever. All right You know He is a Green Goblin. No, he's that's Willem Dafoe. Oh, who's what I heard has got a monster hog Oh, oh's? Who I heard has got a monster hog. Oh. Oh, really? Yeah, apparently his dick's so big, Lars Von Schier had to cut it out of a movie.
Starting point is 02:04:09 Like, he had to get a penis double, which is amazing to me that that job exists, that there's a guy just picking up a phone like, is it too big or too little? Doesn't matter. I'm there. I'm right there. Yeah, you've got to scout that out in the auditions.
Starting point is 02:04:19 Put on something tight. Wait, what is Robert Downey Jr.? What character is he going to be? He's going to be Dr. Doom. Dr. Doom, yeah. Is he your big Marvel guy? No, but I know that. Yeah, we don't know anything. He pisses people off every time we talk about Marvel. I only saw Black Panther because I'm an ally, but I haven't seen the rest of it.
Starting point is 02:04:33 I didn't see Black Panther. Really? Yeah, not an ally. He hates black people. It's so funny they got all this credit for doing that in all black cast, but it's like, dude, you did it after Ant-Man. Yeah you got Ant-Man first you got a man before the before the black movie yeah we got it we got to do Ant-Man first Paul Rudd superhero okay I guess we've we've conquered all the hills now this one but yeah we don't know shit about about Marvel yeah I'm not a big Marvel guy but I know that sounds like you kind of huh yeah I look I mean that one was fun the Avengers one was fun. Yeah, we wouldn't know we didn't see it. Yeah
Starting point is 02:05:07 So yeah, the Olympics were fun getting true for those guys and LeBron he did have he's like embracing the gray hair I don't know if he's gonna come back and dye the beard, but it felt like he was intentionally I like showing I've got I've got gray facial hair. It was real life. I'm the best rule Yeah It was like it was like holy shit LeBron it'd be so funny if he just kept playing. If he just was on the next Olympic team and Tatum had to ride the bench again. That would be funny.
Starting point is 02:05:29 Just as an old, like he's got gray hair. He's fucking, you know, he's taking Cialis. But getting to like truly love LeBron James when he's playing, it was a foreign concept for me because like he's corny, he's funny when you watch him try to be like, take himself super seriously sometimes whether he's Reading all these books that he never gets past like page two of or like catching him in a lie Yeah, what is that always what is the posing with the book?
Starting point is 02:05:52 He read the biography of Malcolm X and then they asked him like what his favorite part was and then he like pausing He's like, you know all of it. I just enjoyed all yeah Trump. Yeah. Yeah, what's your favorite part of the Bible? All the past I can't pick one. So like it's funny because he wants he wants to be everything to everyone Yeah, and the way he goes about that. It's an interesting insight into his mind BKD Yeah, yeah, be the dude who's all of us who's just writing back to angry Yeah, it was just mad online all this like he wins a game, and then he's just calling out people's citizenship Yeah, I loved it. It's like 3 a and he's trolling Serbia. I loved it. I love that too.
Starting point is 02:06:26 We love KD now. But getting to root for LeBron James, it woke something up in me where I was like, maybe I've been a closeted, bronze sexual my entire life. Wow. And maybe now, I gotta tell my dad, I gotta tell my mom and she's gonna be disappointed in me.
Starting point is 02:06:41 And it's like, what's this all about? What are these new feelings that I'm feeling inside? But he's great. He's like, he's fun to root for when he's your guy. Well, this is what we do. I think the most I think real sports fans, you don't root for the guy who's like the number one who's the anointed. He's literally called King for when he was a rookie. Yeah, I felt this way with Kobe. I didn't like Kobe until the end. I like it's like wrestling, they kind of reinvent themselves over time. And then you're kind of like, fuck, Kobe went heel for a minute, then he was back. It was kind of like Kobe until the end. I like Kobe, it's like wrestling. They kind of reinvent themselves over time and then you're kind of like, fuck, Kobe went heel for a minute, then he was back and it was kind of like, by the end I loved Kobe. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:11 But it takes a minute. Mm-hmm. Yeah, when you're in the moment, you're just like, fuck this guy. And then when he leaves, you're like, oh, it's weird now. All my friends were like, Kobe, look, Kobe's the man. So I was like, no, fuck that. I'm a spree guy.
Starting point is 02:07:23 I think T-Mac is cool. I would like go for the other guys, you, fuck that. I'm a spree guy. I think T-Mac is cool. I would like go for the other guys. You know? Yeah. I don't want to say. What? I think Kobe's, he's very overrated because he's rated so high.
Starting point is 02:07:36 Like he gets talked about like LeBron or Michael Jordan. I don't think he's in that spot. That's a fair take. I mean, he was for that, it's tough. It's by error really. Right. I mean he was for that. It's tough. It's by error really right I mean he was that era's greatest, but he also like he wasn't the best player on the 3p team No way, I mean Shaq was an absolute monster, but he but he went back to back. Yeah, you know I mean he was a Yeah, I'm gonna get shit for that again. It's not because he's not great
Starting point is 02:08:00 It's because he gets talked in a group that I just don't know There's like a hollowed group of he gets talked in a group that I just don't know. There's like a hollowed group of players that are in that upper, upper, upper echelon. I think he's right behind it. Yeah. He's also become a mindset where like if somebody goes out there and like in high school, they win like 120 to 10, you're like, that's that mom of mentality. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:08:21 Like Kobe or if somebody doesn't do so, if someone doesn't act like an asshole, sometimes you're like, Kobe would never do that Yeah, there's also moments where I do I like I wish Kobe would have been there like at the at the game on For the women's game he was yeah ambassador for he would have and he would have been like staring down the other team Like it would have been cool those moments You know it isn't kind of annoying when the guys in the bench are trying to hog the it like when they kept panning a mellow I'm like Curry's the one hitting the shot. Go Curry. Although Mellow calling players was sick. Yeah, that was fun. Yeah. Yeah. He did. I mean, Mellow was the best when he,
Starting point is 02:08:50 he was at his best when he was on the Olympic. He was a sixth man. Yeah. That's what's so funny about it. Like these dudes are coming off the bench. He's phenomenal. I know. Mellow was awesome. Olympic Mellow was, was the coolest Mellow, I think. Yeah. He just got passed by KD. I like having Draymond there too. Draymond should travel with the team. Yeah, that was so petty should be just so Go bears like dude enough like yeah, you choked one. Yeah, and you like it every and I'm a joke Like everyone laughs at me. Yeah, he dream on just still twisting that knife It go bear the hatred for go bear really does remind me when like a hack comedian blows up too much. Yeah, and he gets paid too much money and you're just like fuck that guy. You didn't give a shit about him like before he got paid.
Starting point is 02:09:32 He was like an afterthought, but then he gets like really rich and like this guy fucking blows and then he's like I just took the money. Yeah, like you hate me for just taking the money, but we do. Do you think do you think hack comedians like walk around knowing that everyone hates them some of them and some of them just Drink their own kool-aid they yeah, they're like I'm like why would I get all this if I wasn't the greatest yeah Cuz that would be like pretty brutal imposter syndrome to walk around being like everyone else in comedy hates me But I'm selling out arenas. Yeah, I mean it's those worse lives. Yeah. Yeah, you're selling out arenas You're probably having a good life. Yeah, true Yeah, you can dilute yourself in anything. I don't think I don't think Rudy go go bear should be unhappy
Starting point is 02:10:10 No, although deep down like somewhere. He's probably like man. I wish anyone respected me I wish it sucks when all the bigs are shitting on you like, you know Jack and all these guys are like this guy sucks, you know, and it's like and you're kind of like Shaq You should be a little unbiased guy sucks, you know? And it's like, and you're kind of like, Shaq, you should be a little unbiased, this is, you know, but then it's kind of funny that he's not. Dreymon's hatred of him, it does stem from jealousy. That's the thing. It's like, cause he's got four DPOIs.
Starting point is 02:10:35 I know that's the problem. It's like, you have that success. That's why you should just never have too much success because then everyone's going to shit on you. Like if he just had two defensive player of the years, cause then he wins one and then they go to the playoffs, it's like, this is your defensive player of the year. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:10:49 It's like, he should just give one back. He should say, I don't want it this year. That, you know what? If he takes himself out of it, that's actually the smart thing to do. That's what I would do if I were him. He plays really well against shitty players, shitty offenses.
Starting point is 02:11:02 And so he like pads his stats a little bit. Then sometimes the playoffs, you see him get exposed and he gets cooked by good players. So just, yeah, just let some shitty players get some more points against you this year. Take yourself out of the running that way. Yeah. And also, yeah, I'm sure the French thing
Starting point is 02:11:17 for some reason isn't helping. There's a lot of problems. Oh, the French thing is always, we're always gonna hate French people. And we will blame them for COVID too. That's holy shit. But just kind of like wrong place, wrong time. But he, but he mocked it. He came back and he like touched every microphone and then they're like, yeah, it turns out he did have COVID and
Starting point is 02:11:31 now we have to cancel all of basketball. Yeah. Well, I'm now thinking about it. Wemby's going to be a great test. It's like, like how much do we hate French people? Nah, he's already beloved. Yeah. No, I'm saying like he's, he, he's going to supersede that. The fact that he cried too, when they lost. I love that. He could be the best ever. Yeah, no, it's insane. Cooper Flag. Cooper Flag knocks up the main event.
Starting point is 02:11:54 I'm excited about that. I've already set my tanking watch on that. I want Cooper Flag in DC. That would be cool. Man, you guys are making weird moves. The Valenshunis one. I like what we're doing though because we at least have a plan now.
Starting point is 02:12:06 What's the plan? For years, the plan is basically tank, and try to just turn everything over, but for years it was like, you know, finish 10th in the east, and then maybe one year we'll get in as an eight seed, and then we'll get cooked. But post John Wall, there hasn't been a lot of,
Starting point is 02:12:21 like, actionable plan going on in DC. But we got the guy from Oklahoma City running the front office he at least knows what he's doing then we got Kuzma and Jordan pool which I think are great players to have if you're trying to lose you know like it give the keys to a franchise of Jordan pool let him go out there and do his thing and naturally you will lose a shitload of games he'll get his points he'll go like 10 for 40 shooting. But at least there's a plan now. That's all I can ask for.
Starting point is 02:12:47 That's fair, yeah. I was hammered at a game once, and I was just yelling at John Wall, and I was just like, man, you fucking, you got fat. You let yourself go. And he turned and looked at me, and I was like, oh, Jesus Christ. And then years later, he writes this book about depression.
Starting point is 02:13:01 I'm like, oh, I fucking hate myself. No, he turned it on you. I gotta dial it back, man. Shit. like, I hate myself. Oh, it's on you. I got a dial it back man Yeah, you were just being a good fan though I was trying to be good because you but I do notice them now when there people are going a little too hard I'm like, I'm good. I can tell I'm getting older cuz I'm like, yeah, that was kind of yeah take it down a notch Yeah, if you come to take it down a notch guy, you're getting older I mean, I've done it like at restaurants where I'm like he turned down the music a little
Starting point is 02:13:25 Yeah, I actually can't hear when, at restaurants where I'm like, he turned down the music a little. What the fuck? But I actually can't hear. When every pill you take is a downer. Yeah. You're like, whatever makes it tomorrow, let's fucking wrap it up. That kid getting in LeBron's face after they won the gold, you see that?
Starting point is 02:13:37 He needs to take it down a notch. Yeah, what'd he do? Well, he just went up to LeBron on the streets of Paris and wanted a picture, and LeBron was like, not now, kid, and kind of pushed him out of the way. Wow. And then he started dancing right away. And then he started dancing. So people that hate LeBron James will be like,
Starting point is 02:13:48 look what a disgusting human being LeBron James is. Michael Jordan would never treat a child like that. Michael Jordan was kind to every kid that he ever met in his entire life. I've found some really good hater LeBron accounts that I follow just so I can get my hate up. Yeah, I'm not a fan. I've never been a guy, look, he's a, I love that he's on Team USA and I root for So. Yeah, I'm not a fan. I've never been a guy, like he's a,
Starting point is 02:14:05 I love that he's on Team USA and I root for him there, but I'm not a LeBron guy. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's basically, it's probably the most like cut and dry, either you're a Bron sexual or you're not. Yeah. Like there aren't people who are like,
Starting point is 02:14:18 I don't know. I'm still waiting for year 21. He's on the fence. Like you're coming. We're coming all stripes. It's like your college years. They need to, yeah. It's weird shit.
Starting point is 02:14:25 Yeah, I'm experimenting with LeBron right now. You went abroad. I always told, I was taught growing up, naturally you're supposed to love the Washington Wizards. A man loves the Washington Wizards. And I've thought that I've loved the Washington Wizards, but now I tried LeBron and I think I like LeBron. Yeah, you went- It's pretty fun.
Starting point is 02:14:39 You went abroad for a couple weeks and then you came back and you're like, I kinda like that. Add another stripe to the flag for us bronze sexuals. Representation matters. I hate the Lakers too. That's another part of the problem is like, it was just an unlikable franchise. And I've always felt that way. I mean, look, it was looking back, they're great for the sport, obviously. Kobe, Shaq, those years were awesome. Have you had any self-reflection where you're like, the Lakers are the Yankees? Of course. Okay. Cause like that's the, the two franchises that do the, Oh, he'll be a Laker soon. Oh, he'll be a Yankee someday. That's the two like shining examples of it where they, and they're usually right where they're like,
Starting point is 02:15:18 Oh yeah, free agent will come here. No problem. Now the Yankees, it is complicated for me because I grew up because my grandfather was a Yankees fan So I grew up just watching like Bernie Williams and Paul O'Neill on his lap, you know Yeah, and then you get older and everyone's like these are the fuck and you're like, it's too late. Yeah, I'm a fan Yeah, you know, yeah and the Yankees history is awesome. Yeah, it is Especially all the World Series they won before they let black players play. It's a lot of them They're really good now though. I was watching a Babe Ruth documentary
Starting point is 02:15:47 and it was literally just old white men who were just like, it was like one sentence about how he walked out on his wife and adopted kid. And it was like, he walked out on this family. Babe Ruth was one of the kindest people I've ever been around, you know. He was a gentleman. I'm like, didn't you just say he walked?
Starting point is 02:16:03 That was one sentence. Every other sentence was like, what he did for those cancer-stricken children was the Lord's work. Have you seen the theory that Babe Ruth could possibly be Dominican? I love that one. He looks a little tan.
Starting point is 02:16:16 Yeah, right, and it's just like, this would throw all the old sports writers into a tizzy, being like, yeah, he was Dominican. The sports writers is such a weird, because I've watched the Pete Rose doc too, and it is weird, clearly Pete Rose is not a good human. Like if you want to keep him out of the Hall of Fame, if you want to keep him out of the Hall of Fame,
Starting point is 02:16:34 do it for the statutory rape, not the gambling. That's such a weird line to draw in the sand. Like you got Ty Cobb in, who's pushing pregnant women downstairs. Although Ty Cobb had a little bit of a, like when, who was it? Oh, it was when they brought all the Negro League records into MLB, and there was a lot of Ty Cobb discourse, and I had no idea. But Ty Cobb essentially got completely slandered by this one writer who
Starting point is 02:17:00 wrote a biography about him that just made up shit. Like everything you know- But he did beat his wife. this one writer who wrote a biography about him that just made up shit. Like everything you know. But he did beat his wife. But like there's like the beating like a handicapped person and like him being like a crazy racist, like none of that was true, which is nuts. Wait, did he, did he like Babe Ruth? I don't know. That'll tell us if he was Dominican or not.
Starting point is 02:17:19 But it was, it was eye opening to be like, wait, how did this happen that like one person wrote a book about Ty Cobb and then we just were told Ty Cobb was one of the worst humans ever. Yeah. And a lot of it was just made up. I'm not saying he's a good, I'm not, I'm not, you know, vouching for Ty Cobb, but it was crazy to read about it and be like, wait, this guy just made up a lot of this stuff. That's what you could do as a writer in the old days. Right. He had a vendetta. I'll destroy you in my column. Yeah. That was the power. I mean, there's a story about Joe DiMaggio like leaving a hotel room after he just bangs someone. And he sees, I think it was Walter Winshaw on the street. And he just looked at him like, fuck, this guy's going to write a piece on me. I'm going to get trash or like poon hunting on the road. And he
Starting point is 02:18:00 just looked at him. He goes, when today, and I won't about this. And they won. He played the best game of his life. Having your biggest hater become your biographers is an all time bad move, bad move. I don't want that, yeah. But credit to that guy for at least like having a vendetta and I'm gonna ruin this guy for the rest of eternity. Yeah, if you polled 100 sports fans like Ty Cobb, bad guys, yeah, the worst.
Starting point is 02:18:24 Yeah, I bet he wasn't a good no that's what I'm saying I'm not vouching for him but I just it was crazy to read it and be like wait this guy made up a lot of these stories that we walk around being like you know Ty Cobb would go spikes up on everyone yeah that's is that not true I think a lot of it is made up I don't know I feel like most good players would try to like yeah like the second baseman back then yeah you know it wasn't just him, and there was also that story, you know the Mickey Mantle story about
Starting point is 02:18:47 when he got head underneath the right field bleachers? Is that true? Yeah, he wrote like a thank you note or something. What was the exact story behind that? I'll find it, I'll find it. Look that up because it's- I thought that was Daryl Strawberry for some reason. Because back in the day, like sports writers,
Starting point is 02:18:59 we were told growing up that like baseball is the most poetic sport. They wrote about it in the most like flowery terms ever. Yeah. Like a day at the ballpark is nothing like anything else you'll ever experience. They wrote about all the baseball players like they were gentlemen. No, Mickey Mantle was getting his dick sucked underneath the right field bleachers in Yankee Stadium during a game. So the Yankees hit up Mickey Mantle and were like, the 50th anniversary is coming up, can
Starting point is 02:19:21 you please write something about being a Yankee? And the prompt was, I consider the following my outstanding experience at Yankee Stadium. And he wrote, I got a blow job under the right field bleachers by the Yankee bullpen. And then this event occurred on or about, he got sucked up by all the middle. He said it was about the third inning, third or fourth inning. I had a pulled groin and couldn't, uh, focus at the time. She was a very nice girl and asked me what to do with the cum after I came in her mouth. I said, don't ask me, I'm no cocksucker. Mickey Mantle, y'all American boy.
Starting point is 02:19:55 Yeah, I don't know, is that true? That's gotta be a real letter, right? I think it's sold in auction. Pretty crass for a. Don't ask me, I'm not a cocksucker. What is it, like a Tulsa, Oklahoma boy? Yeah, what a line. Yeah. Sold an auction pretty crass for don't don't ask me. I'm not a cocksucker Oklahoma boy, yeah What a line yeah? Oh man Doing it there's a star next to he'd signed it Mickey Manil star and then underneath the star
Starting point is 02:20:15 He starred and said the all-american boy. I love that had a sense of humor. Yeah, sorry back or the Yankees fully back I don't know man. It's hard to tell that that trade was pretty big you know, but I Don't know man. I Pitching is everything in the playoffs. So we'll see yeah, it feels like the Yankees just do the same thing every year Yeah, no million home runs and they get to the playoffs like shit Those are never the teams that win at all except maybe the Astros have a lot of power But but they have pitching too. Yeah, and they do the little things too yeah cheating yeah
Starting point is 02:20:47 cheating baseball is such a weird sport where you can be by far the best team and then in the playoffs it's just about who's hot at that yeah but hockey is the same way yeah hockey yeah you're a big hockey guy get a hot you get a hockey goalie standing on his head then any team can win yeah yeah baseball playoffs it's like pitching and then if you get like two guys that just catch fire to nowhere Then it's like we saw the diamondbacks in World Series last year. Yeah, crazy shit happens Yeah, but it is fun to see like Yankees do the same thing get to the playoffs same thing happens Aaron Boone Okay, come back next year. Yeah, you know, yeah, I wonder how long they're gonna let him hold the reins, you know
Starting point is 02:21:23 He's got blackmail. He's got him and cashman have to have black something feel like I've been hearing about them getting fired every year for the last five years You just don't want to waste Aaron judges prime because this is fucking insane. Yeah, and he's just a beast. Yeah Alright, well Sam, this has been awesome I got a row back question last question our HOB a CK comm promo code take 20% off your first purchase cues of spolos ho polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, rollback.com. We were talking about it earlier, but for people who don't know, one of my favorite things that Sam does is he goes on like local early morning talk shows, news shows, and just bombs on purpose. So are we worried that it's getting too big that it's gonna be like you can't do this anymore
Starting point is 02:22:06 Yeah, for sure. I mean you said it, you know back there. You're like you might have to go international. Yeah, right It's not a big thing internationally. I'm trying I'm doing Baltimore TV this week. So I hope I hope I fingers crossed. Yeah, it's tough though You got to have the getaway car waiting for you got to have the car outside Like I would say it's like a bank robbery. So when did it start? Pittsburgh is where it started because I was like in a bad mood. When you're a young comic, you're required to do morning TV. It's in the contract. They don't give you a door deal.
Starting point is 02:22:37 So you're like, this is just for the club that they're making me do it. I don't see another cent from this. So after you do it for like a decade, you start to get a little bitter. And I was kind of like, you know what? Fuck this. After you do it for like a decade, you start to get a little bitter. And I was kinda like, you know what, fuck this. So in the middle of it, I just kinda snap. They never do research. It's always like the corniest shit. No one who's watching this is gonna come to my show.
Starting point is 02:22:55 It's like people who are like soccer moms or something who just will not find me funny. So it's like the only way this is selling tickets is if I just burn a hole. So I think the question she asked was, so when did you first catch the funny bug? Have you always been funny? And I was like, no, but when I was young,
Starting point is 02:23:13 I was molested by my uncle and he was funny, so I kind of caught the powers like in Spider-Man. And she just kind of paused and was like, okay, I don't know what to do with that. And I left and I remember asking them for the tape the producer and she just looked at me She goes get out Now you've been doing it like I see the clips they're so fucking fun I realized like people start sharing that to the point that I was like, I guess I should do that
Starting point is 02:23:36 I guess I should start doing morning TV and then it just got bad every time to the point that I was like I guess I'll just keep doing this. Is there an art to bombing? Yeah, it's fun. It's, you know, I mean, look, there's no really killing on those shows either. There's no funny, right? So it's just like, I'm kind of, I'm playing for whoever's watching. I'm not playing for who's in the room,
Starting point is 02:23:54 but they don't want, I've noticed though, they don't want you to come off as like, they're the guy there. They don't, the guys are the more insecure ones. The women are usually really cool, but the guys are kind of like, no, I'm the big shot around here. I'm the funny one.
Starting point is 02:24:08 And you see them try to be funny. You're like, you ain't the funny one. I'll tell you that. So I remember going on there and just rattling them and saying shit they can't say. So I'm like, you know, if I'm making like a pedo joke on like, you know, some NBC affiliate in Philadelphia, the guy's like, what the fuck is happening?
Starting point is 02:24:23 Like, I can't do that. So it just started taking off. I don't know, it's weird. It's the perfect bit too, because those people, those broadcasters are trained to smile through everything. Exactly. And they have to be cheery and they have to be bubbly. And then you just drop like, yeah, I was raped by my uncle and they're just have to be like oh
Starting point is 02:24:46 There were people who thought that was true someone like messaged me like hell Yeah, speaking truth to power taking your pain and making it funny. I'm like that's not true I was trying to ruin the segment. Did you miss the Spider-Man part of it? People thought it was real yeah, and then uh Yeah, it's it's just funny that they have to be so scripted. Anything that's off script on those shows is like, they're like, what do I do? Right, they panic. So it's just funny to watch it go off the rails.
Starting point is 02:25:11 It's so good, man. I have a publicist who's like, losing sleep over these, because I can't book them, I can't cold email them. So she gets the hate. She gets, they'll be like, Why'd you do this? Why'd you send this guy here?
Starting point is 02:25:21 But the funny thing is they don't remember. She's like, now you're ruining it for my clients who take it seriously, who want to go on. She'll email them a month later and they'll be like, we had some guy come on a month ago and pretend that Columbus, Ohio has a human trafficking crisis and he wouldn't let it go. And she's like, that's disgusting.
Starting point is 02:25:36 Someone would, and they just let her know other clients. They don't, no one remembers. So, you know, it ends up working out, but she's, yeah, she just messaged me. She's like, I've got my Xanax. What are you gonna do? People get mad. I did one in Buffalo from the Delta Lounge.
Starting point is 02:25:51 I put like duct tape over Gary Veeder, who tours with me, his mouth, and I pretended he's my GIMP sex slave. I just kept saying like, he's not my GIMP sex slave. The guy in Buffalo was like, all right, well, that's the segment for today. Like he just abruptly cut it off. And then Rachel Feinstein, who's like one of my best friends was in Buffalo. And he all right, well, that's the segment for today. Like he just abruptly cut it off. And then Rachel Feinstein, who's like one of my best friends
Starting point is 02:26:07 was in Buffalo and he's like, do you know Sam Marrone? She's like, oh, he's like my best friend. And he's like, I hate that guy. He brought a GIMP sex slave on the segment. And I was like, oh yeah, you can't tell these people that we're friends, they all hate me. Clearly said he wasn't his friend. Yeah, it's quite clear.
Starting point is 02:26:21 You weren't listening. But yeah, so then we do that and then, it's like the thing I look forward to most, my comic friends like Star Wars is always like, what are you doing waking up at 7 a.m. after a gig? And I'm like, I've learned to love it. I know. Yeah. It's like a challenge.
Starting point is 02:26:39 I love it. It's so fun. It goes south a lot. It will sometimes just not work at all, but for the times it does work, it's worth burning a hole in the room. Yeah, definitely. Are you gonna do that in the Netherlands? I wonder if I can get on stuff.
Starting point is 02:26:54 International's tougher. I tried to do it in, because look, when they roll with me sometimes, it's great too. If they just play, there was a woman for Texas who just, she got it and she played along and it was funny,
Starting point is 02:27:04 her straight manning me to everything I said. But then we tried it in Australia and they didn't really, they were too big of fans of it that it didn't work. They were cheering me on for every awful thing I said. Well it's not funny when you guys are doing, you know. But yeah, they're not as scripted as American TV. That's all the comments are like, what is this that you guys do in America?
Starting point is 02:27:25 I was like, oh, I didn't know this wasn't a thing. Oh, it's so good. In the UK or whatever, but yeah, Australia is more just like all the news. Yeah. You know? Oh, sorry. Yeah, no, go ahead.
Starting point is 02:27:35 Oh, no, I mean, I would go on like MSNBC and stuff, and it would be like guys who are big, and they don't want you to, I'd go on like Ari Melber, and he would just like set me up for a a joke and then just like watch it bomb and just Stare at me and be like so why is that funny? Well, apparently it's not I don't I don't think I guess it wasn't I don't know and he's like, huh It's like they don't want it's weird like they want you on and then they kind of like trust psychoanalyzer
Starting point is 02:28:00 They try to they don't know how to deal with jokes because he it's live So I think you know, then I just like went in Epstein jokes and he was like alright let's go to break you know but yeah cuz if you're hosting a morning show if you're hosting a TV show your job is usually not to be an audience exactly so then all of a sudden he's supposed to just like laugh and be a normal human being I would hope so yeah I guess he isn't yeah it's just not programmed for that yeah yeah well Sam thank you so much Yeah, everyone go see where I we're gonna probably air this in the next week and a half. Okay, so where you going after Baltimore?

Breaking news. What do we got? We have a trade an inter divisional inter podcast trade. There's been a trade to to to a rare indivision trade. Washington Massachusetts to the Bears.
Starting point is 02:31:18 Washington is sending former first round pick Jehan Dotson and a fifth round pick to the Eagles in exchange for a 20-25 third round pick and two seventh round picks per sources. Ooh. Fleeced. What do we think, Max? The commander's got fleeced. Agreed. What round did you draft him in?
Starting point is 02:31:35 We drafted him in the first round. Oh. Oh. And what did you get back? Not a lot last year. What did you get back? He had a bad season last year. Apparently hasn't looked good in training camp. Who's this quarterback?
Starting point is 02:31:47 We got Martavis Bryant, Sam Howell. Okay. Yeah, we got Martavis Bryant now. I'm excited, wait, yeah, Martavis Bryant hasn't played in the league in like 10 years. Yeah, but remember when he did that somersault catch? I have a question though, PFT, wouldn't you want your rookie quarterback
Starting point is 02:32:02 to have more weapons? We got plenty of weapons. Okay, I'm just saying. Mart would be the only part that would make me nervous. Martavius Bryant. Are you taking away a wide receiver? I like Johan Dotson, a Penn State fan who's a beast at Penn State, good wide receiver three, give up a third, get back a fifth. You needed a wide receiver three too, right? Big time. Yeah. So wide receiver three for a third round pick, that sounds like a good deal to me.
Starting point is 02:32:31 Well, he was your wide receiver, was he for you? But we can't, well, he was fighting for the second spot. No, he was not guaranteed that second spot. It was like a competition. He was, I think, losing that competition. To who? Let's see. Martavius Bryant? Martavius Bryant, possibly. No, it's actually a former Eagle
Starting point is 02:32:48 Zacchaeus So we got rid of him. Yeah, and he was our fourth last year. Yeah, and now we got him and he's thriving in our system Yep Pleased please Somebody got police. Yep, so we'll go fleece. We'll find out later We're not gonna find out until the end of the season who got fleeced, but this, I can tell that this was a, between this and the Cooper, the Cooper de Jean trade,
Starting point is 02:33:11 like we're, someone's gonna get fleeced. We're fleecing the Eagles big time. You, a bunch of bald Eagles over there got fleeced so hard. That's good, thank you. It smells so bad in here. Hank, your FireFest. Hmm. I hadn't thought about that. No, I mean I have a few. It's been remedied so I don't know that it really counts. It
Starting point is 02:33:35 was over the weekend. Also I've been just sleeping in like a hard shell taco this week. It's been fun but it's camp. You can't really complain about camp. That's just kind of what you get. Hard shell taco this week. It's been fun, but it's camp. Like you can't really complain about camp. That's just kind of what you get. Hard shell taco. I mean, my bed is literally like concave. No, his bed is broken. His bed is broken. The first day. There was all their beds in our bunk.
Starting point is 02:33:54 That's true. You could have just slept on a different bed. Or you could have swapped the beds. But the first day, it comes up to me and he's like, is your bed like inverted like this and I went and I looked at it and literally looked like the trampoline yesterday like the middle of it was just sinking to the floor three other mattresses that weren't being used I don't think was the mattress I think it was the frame the
Starting point is 02:34:20 frame yeah you've had trouble it was ultimately like I'll fix it tomorrow then by the time it's bedtime I was like, yeah I'll just sleep on it. So it's really my own fault. I also- Didn't you sleep on a bed that had fucked up slats for like nine months? Yeah, for like three months. I actually found that picture today.
Starting point is 02:34:34 It wasn't even the slats, it was the construction of the bed. That's neither here nor there. Who made the bed? Me. I was basically sleeping like downwards, like I was doing Declined sleeping with blood just rushing to my head every night. Um, I also I had an issue with my
Starting point is 02:34:58 Stove over the weekend that I like it wasn't working. It had an error message You know gave me a number to call so I called and they told me I had to mess with my you know Circuit circuit breaker board and My circuit breaker board wasn't labeled. So the lady was just having me turn things on turn things off. I finally fixed a stove Accidentally killed all the power in my bedroom hallway and like the AC So I didn't have and then then no one was working my building till Monday So I had to sleep like in my living room on the couch with a fan at my face for two nights. Jesus, Hank. But that's brutal.
Starting point is 02:35:30 Yeah, we fixed it. So you just haven't been, you've been sleeping either in a hot room with a fan or in a taco. Yeah. So I'm excited to get back tonight and sleep normally. Get that AC bust. Yeah, yeah. All right, PFT.
Starting point is 02:35:44 My Fire Fest of the Week is, I mean, it's been a fun week I don't have a lot to complain about because going to summer camp is it's fun and Getting to hang out with boys and basically just play play sports all day competitive games all day Yeah has been a great time the first night we got here We got in a little bit late and it was myself is actually all of PMT and then the Boston guys came in with us so we get to our bunks we set up I believe what Hank were you passing out mouth tape or was big cat passing up not me will comp them will I was to us all mouth tape. Yeah, so everybody I did not use mouth tape. I'm afraid like I'm asleep I sneeze I don't know what that's gonna be like. I don't want to take my mouth before I go to sleep
Starting point is 02:36:28 But everybody had it We're going to bed and We're all sending pictures in the group chat to each other of us with mouth tape on fast forward a couple days We're watching hard knocks and there was one TV that was set up We're seated in this very very dark room All the lights were out just the TV was on and it was a lot of people from Barstool and a lot of people that are counselors here at the camp that are watching Hard Knocks with us and during that Hard Knocks I was posting a picture that I'd just taken of the TV with Caleb Williams on it with us interviewing Caleb to promote the show being like tomorrow's part of my take and I'm taking out my phone I'm going through my photos to select those pictures
Starting point is 02:37:05 and there's some other photos that are in my phone that are saved right next to it. The guy, one of the counselors, looks over my shoulder at my phone as I'm selecting the pictures of Caleb from Hard Knocks and he's staring at my phone and he's looking at me. I'm like, oh shit, he saw something else. So when we're passing it, when we're sending all these pictures from the mouth tape incident on Monday night to each other, I respond to the group chat with a picture of my balls.
Starting point is 02:37:37 And I said- Naked balls. Naked balls, and I said, oh shit guys, I think I just got bit by a bug. Classic bit with the boys, but the counselor that was sitting next to me just saw like three pictures of your balls I had to get the lighting right he saw three pictures of my balls on my phone and he just thinks that I've got nudes for days saved on my
Starting point is 02:37:58 phone of your balls of my balls never look at another man's phone and he gave me quite a look it was partially confused it's been like hey I was just sending my balls to the boys he didn't touch my leg or anything afterwards but I don't know but it was a little bit embarrassing for me so I guess that's the worst thing that happened to me this week that's not that bad
Starting point is 02:38:20 some guy just thinks I have a lot of pictures of my balls on my phone he doesn't realize you sent it to your boys it was to send to other men. It was a very funny picture. It's not like I'm gay or anything. Yeah, it was a very funny picture. Okay, I'm gonna seed my fire, because I've had a great time this week. I've had nothing bad happen.
Starting point is 02:38:33 Knock on wood. We were on hard knocks. We've been at summer camp. Can't complain. Living the dream. Gotta bless life. I'll seed my fire fest to my good friend Max. Max, do you have a fire fest this week?
Starting point is 02:38:46 Yeah, I got a little bit of like a call from From the camp, I think yeah What about when you were competing in any of the vents? Did you take anything too? Seriously, yeah, and then have your team win. So you were the guy who? Shoved the ref in a win? No, I actually, yeah. What happened? Big Cat was saying it all week that we don't get, think about it, if you get too competitive,
Starting point is 02:39:13 you're going to regret it. You're going to regret it. I had the most instant regret I think I've ever had in my time here at Barstool. There's a line when we do these events or these activities where I get competitive Everyone should be competitive. But if you take it too far you then come across as the guy who's just being a hardo I smashed that line like absolutely smashed it and it was one of those things where I smashed it so far hard and then I took Like 30 seconds and it was like holy holy shit, what did I just do?
Starting point is 02:39:46 So explain it to the people. Okay, this is what happened. Where it was the final event, it was the championship of the week, some may say. There was some tactics to get in my head, there were some tactics to get in the referee's head. I think the person who was doing those tactics did a good job of getting in both parties' heads.
Starting point is 02:40:11 He's referring to me in this situation. I somehow got into both of their heads with one sentence. Yep, yep, it's very true. I thought the referee was taking the words from big cat and purposely trying to screw you screw me over and I I think the worst part was the throw Max took an egg and basically recreated the Billy football with a ball throw and then shoved Rico when he just spiked the ball into the ground. Max, what were you so upset about?
Starting point is 02:40:47 He thought he got a bad. So what happened was the final event. Rico wasn't throwing him good enough eggs. Rico had to throw eggs to Max. And as the event was about to start, I said to Rico, because I was on the other team, I said, Rico, remember all the things we talked about this morning.
Starting point is 02:41:02 And then I was basically the uncle from The Godfather to showing up to the courtroom just being like, Hey, I'm here. And and Max was like, well, Rico, don't you take your integrity as a ref very seriously. And I just yelled, he takes his career even more serious. And then it was just on the two of them were locked in mental warfare that I had started. And Max pushed Rico, yelled at him, threw an egg at him. The egg. And they ended up winning.
Starting point is 02:41:29 Yeah. So Max, basically it boils down to the fact that Rico was throwing eggs too high into the air. Play the clip. And so they're far. So then you shove them. Just the sound of the clip, of the end of the clip. Max, oh, don't take off the headphones, Max.
Starting point is 02:41:40 That's bullshit. Max was putting his, he was putting his fingers in his ears like a toddler at dinner last night when we kept on playing the clip look at him right now he looks like I Got so Italian That's horseshit and you know it. It was horseshit. It was horseshit. I'm sorry. I think I've apologized to Rico like 60 times in the past day and to his credit, he didn't
Starting point is 02:42:33 care at all. Of course he didn't. He was like, dude, I didn't mean to throw him that far. I was like, dude, I'm apologizing. I overreacted so much. He was like, I didn't mean to throw him that far. I'm just tired. I'm like Me Rico are good. I Rico is like game respect game. I know I would have done the same thing
Starting point is 02:42:52 Yeah, so I think that was something that I regret very deeply I've been super anxious about it the past year fine max 24 hours, and it's just I'm gonna have to just if anyone should apologize should be me for getting in both your Heads with one simple sentence. No, I'm not going to apologize. But if anyone should it would be me but your That that was your I said that that was your Magna Carta Rico like I was the Joker just walking by is that holy grail? Oh, I was Magna Carta Holy Grail
Starting point is 02:43:28 I was throwing a lit match right in between the two of them and they both just were on fire yelling at each other Well, he didn't yell to his credit. He just threw eggs crazy. Yeah, the eggs were thrown high into the air It's not it was it was the distance why why you got mad I know you're mad because Rico threw bad eggs yeah I know that's it's so bad in a game winning yeah all right Huey wrap us up my fire fest is I haven't taken a shit since I've gotten here what's I don't know what's going on wait what I don't know what's going on I've eaten every day three meals that snacks don't know what's going on. Wait, what I don't know what's going on. I've eaten every day three meals That snacks don't know what's going on. Is your body just telling you like this is you're in a bad place right now We need to concern maybe maybe you're operating so efficiently that you're not what?
Starting point is 02:44:16 I've done this as a kid before where we've gone on trips and I just I'll pee fine. Everything else works trips and I just I'll pee fine everything else works for like four days oh I forgot to say too one of the craziest things that came out of camp was I don't know if you saw this PFT but I think it happened multiple times if you walked by on the basketball court it was just memes and Shane playing two on one verse Huey and it was insane to watch. It got up to four on one. It was just they were just like bullying him like he would never touch the ball because it was two on one. The editors looked like they were Harlem Globe trucks. I mean it was incredible. He was just floundering around trying to and like I walked by actually before last night
Starting point is 02:45:05 when Mames literally was like, Huey, you ready for some two on one? Like they're still doing this? Yeah, it's his own sport. It was so funny. It's like a time game. How quickly can you get to 11 points against Huey? It gets a lot.
Starting point is 02:45:17 I won one of the games. What? And I was within one shot on three of them. What? How? I could shoot. Oh. Every time I would shoot it, I'd yell, them. What? How? I can shoot. Oh, every time I would shoot at yo Kate. Kate. Yeah, I'm her. Oh, all right. So Huey, you got a shit man. Yeah, I hate

No, I'm not a coffee guy. Drink some coffee. That would probably be new to my system. Yeah, if you drink a cup of coffee and you've never drank coffee, that's going to run through you
Starting point is 02:45:52 like it's going through a goose. I'm also a little scared of these bathrooms. And I don't know if that's just They're fine. Yeah, they're OK. Now, I understand what Huey I think your body is just anxious. I think since you know that you're
Starting point is 02:46:03 away from home base. There's a comfortability. Yeah, there's a comfortability. Your body knows to shut it down until you get back into like a situation where you're comfortable pooping. Yeah, something's up, but we're gonna be all right. Huey, you wanna finish this cup of coffee?
