Hey Yak listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.
Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.
I guess we should have probably put one of you next to me.
Let's get Joey.
Yeah, well, no, I like the space out.
You tell me.
Sorry, Rico might come in.
All right, Championship Friday, Champions Friday on the Yak.
Welcome in KB, Owen, myself, and the guest of honor.
One of the guests of honor, Joey the Cat, off of an electric performance last night. We also have Bobby
Lang coming in with
Rico, I think, as well. Bobby Lang
lights out Lang, who's fighting in Rough and Rowdy
in two weeks, who is our heavyweight champion.
He's fighting against Pac-Man Jones.
We're going to do a little preview of that.
Joey, the floor is
yours. That was an electric
night last night. If you
missed it, you can go watch the replay.
We were at Williamsburg for, what, like 14 hours it felt like.
That guy held us hostage in his bar by turning off the machines every five minutes.
But Joey the Cat has won.
He's back to number one in the world skee-ball player.
He conquered the guy who beat him
For the crown in 2019
The ski ball kid
Joey congratulations
Oh by the way we got cash
Thank you
Yeah I've got cold cash
Oh big ones
$1,800 the $200 obviously
So it makes it a $2,000 prize
Joey I told you to come in
And we do it.
There we go.
Now you're playing for real money.
Flotting in the footermen's faces.
Oh, no.
Make it rain.
He needed that.
That was a joke you were only playing for $200 last night.
So we changed that.
How are you feeling?
Have you come down from the high?
I have not come down from the high.
How late were you up?
3.30 a.m.
3.30?
What?
Levitating on my bed.
Holy shit.
It was unreal.
You did post an Instagram story last night.
You're like, this was the best night of my life.
It was.
It was a blast.
And you have a son.
I have a son.
Leo the Lion.
He's almost two.
And he was cheering for me back in sf with my wife and was he though
yeah i have footage okay okay all right don't eat a cat don't eat a cat not dad dad dad dad okay
has leo rolled yet he actually for the first time uh two weeks ago he just crawled up the
lane and stuffed it in the 40 pocket oh hell yeah yeah that's where you gotta start wow
so he's just like you like he he doesn't have the balls to go for the hundreds although i was gold
i was i was re-watching some of the match so it it's a five game series the uh you you kind of
dominated the second game the third game was a little tight but you did well there the first
game though was an improbable comeback and i was watching it back you went for hundreds so you can go for hundreds i mean i used to be a
hundo roller back in the early days and and then at the first nationals like i came and and was
run hundos and i lost a ski diddy and he ended up winning the whole thing rolling 40s.
And I'm like, that's the way.
That's the way.
Wait, 40s, not 50s.
40s.
I've won two national championships just rolling 40s where you rolled 90 balls in a 10-frame match.
And I rolled one of them.
I rolled 89 out of 90 into the 40s.
That had never been done before.
But it seemed like your hit percentage on 50s
was high enough to just go strictly 50s.
That's when I got the master's degree in skeeball and elevated to 50.
You kind of have to.
I mean, it's like the three-pointer, the mid-range, all that stuff.
The homers, the singles, like everything.
It's just sort of a perfect analogy.
Skeeball strategies do change.
You were rolling hundreds in the first frame.
And then frames two and three, Footerman kind of did your move he was going 40s and 50s what did you think he was employing a
hybrid from the get-go which is like kind of pepper the hundo and then switch to down the
middle to kind of maximize your score um and i was just down the middle in the beginning and then
when he got a pretty sizable lead thank you for the support big cat yes you know the chirping of
support was very helpful.
I switched to hybrid, and then that's when I went hundreds off the bat.
So you could, if you went hundos the whole time,
you could theoretically hit like three or four hundos every frame?
I mean, if I was hot.
I mean, I perform well under pressure, and when I was down, I had to perform.
So maybe I wouldn't have hit those if I was just like going the hybrid strategy from out the gate but i had it when i needed it yeah so this is a little replay so i actually
love that you just said that you perform well under pressure because it even ski ball which is
um what our fifth sixth major sport uh in america it's funny to watch how the mental part of any
competition no matter how
big or small, comes into play because
I actually thought when you came back
and won game one,
Skee-Ball Kid was dead.
It was over. He was dead. And that's something
he'll learn because he's young, but the mental
part of the game that you clearly
have where it's like you kind
of ruined him after that game
because he couldn't
really recover after starting really hot and losing the game it's it was fantastic yeah this
the psychology of him getting to choose the lane and then picking that lane and then getting beat
on that lane is just devastating because that was that was the easiest lane he's right there yeah
that was the easiest lane right right? The far right.
The far right lane is the easiest for hundos.
Therefore, as a hundo roller, you're going to pick that lane if you want to.
I don't get it.
How is there a difference in lanes?
I mean.
Well, if you think about it, you got a wall on the right or it's all what?
You don't know.
No, I do.
No, you don't.
Yeah, I do.
You think about it, you got a wall. Yeah, the left, you got the wall. That's i do yeah no you don't yeah i do you think about you got a wall
in here the left you got the wall that's a good crack that wasn't right yeah that's lanes one two
and three yeah in the early days uh that they used to have like mesh nets and so you could
one net was looser than the other or the ball would kind of get massaged in but now that they
have wooden and metal side walls it's like it's which pocket is more forgiving. And we're talking about just like
a tenth of a degree difference
of the ball on entry
is a big deal.
A big deal.
Holy shit.
It was, I mean, it was,
I'm still buzzing from it too.
I'm excited to see the documentary.
Yes.
So where's this documentary going to be aired?
They've been filming the documentary
for seven years.
What?
Okay, that doesn't sound... Dude, I i love that that doesn't sound like a it's not like a smart way to do a documentary are you gonna
what's that boyhood movie you're doing boyhood
it's kind of like king of kong fistful of quarters just following the players
following the the you know the sideline stories of
of building the business building the community all that stuff
it's it's been a rollercoaster.
Are you a hero or a villain?
I can see villain in some circles.
Yeah, I'm the villain because I was winning a lot
and people like to hate on the winners
and I think
in the sizzle reel they say,
oh, the adorable villain, Joey the Cat,
because I was just winning all the time.
People hate on that.
Those people who hate on winners, what's the opposite of a winner?
Loser, poser, I don't know.
They're losers.
Losers.
For sure.
Yeah.
But speaking of losers, you haven't won in seven years, right?
That's true.
There has been a seven-year drought.
So this is big.
Did you get your jacket?
I got the jacket, a 38 short, and I was wearing it around last night,
but it still got the tags on it. Didn't want want to bust it out today and it's freaking hot uh but yeah i've got the cream
jacket which is like the rollers so what happened so last night so seven year documentary you're
trying to grow the skeeball community what did last night do for it was that like was that the
first time mainstream and obviously we're not like some it's
not like fucking espn broadcasters like you know linear tv but was that the first mainstream
recognition that's the skeeball tournament has gotten yeah the founder of bruce skeeball his
his whole mission statement and thesis is get skeeball on espn from day one they got it in
espn the magazine very early on.
The magazine.
What about get it on Barstool?
Fuck them.
And then, yeah, we were supposed to go on the Ocho last summer,
and that kind of got squandered.
Fuck that.
And then Barstool, to your question, this is the platform.
I love it.
This is the next.
So, yeah, my question about the Ski-EO,
and if you didn't watch last night, I would say the majority of people that are into Ski-Ball are in just for the puns.
Like, who did you beat in 2000?
Who beat you in 2010?
Ski Diddy.
Ski Diddy, like that kind of shit.
Barack Roll-Obama.
Yeah, like just – and the guy who owns the bar calls himself the Ski-E-O.
How much do you think we would have to pay to,
to take the ski title away from him? Cause that seems like a price.
Like that seems like he would never do it.
He loves waking up being the ski.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's on the,
that's on the tombstone.
Yeah.
So,
all right.
Cause we had that discussion last night.
Like,
should we try to like buy the ski ball league and,
and actually be a foe?
Yeah.
Ski fo or a, what's the other be Ski FO. Yeah, Ski FO.
Or what are the other ones?
Ski RO.
I don't know what else.
And the female fan base wasn't bad.
Yeah.
Where are they called?
The gutter slots?
My wife did say, you won.
Am I a wag now?
Yes.
Wow.
That's true.
Yeah, no, there was one attractive woman.
She was married, but there was one.
Yeah, I know exactly who you're talking about.
She was there with her husband.
Yeah, I made sure to find out.
Yeah, she was married.
She probably came just because I'm going to be the hottest one here,
so I might as well come.
There was a hilarious moment after the event. By the way, Joey, this is probably not going to be hilarious hottest one here, so I might as well come. There was a hilarious moment after the event.
By the way, Joey, this is probably not going to be hilarious, just so you know.
No, it was.
This will be maybe the opposite of hilarious.
It will be so not hilarious.
We were talking.
It was, I think, me, KB, Nick, Owen, and Rudy, and we were talking outside right after the event.
We're going to get home or whatever.
Then one female fan comes up to us or so we thought it's like hey can i get a picture with you guys and we're all like yeah sure no problem and then she takes a picture
she's like oh thank you guys so much i have no idea who you guys are again not hilarious brutal your ski liberty is brutal
that destroyed
our egos
yeah that is
tough
they're just
there are picture
slots people who
just chase
pictures
yeah right
with people
they don't
they don't
they just feel
the need
yeah and they're
like oh I want
to get in on
this just in case
um
all right so
what's next for
Joey the cat
when are the
that's the problem
with ski ball
there isn't enough events.
Right.
Why not like a mid-season?
Sure, yeah.
I'm opening an arcade bar in San Francisco, 10,000 square feet.
Where?
In Soma, right next to the convention center, 4th and Bryant.
It's going to be called Thriller.
We're going to have a golf simulator.
We're going to have a Ski Ball arena.
It's going to be epic.
Wait, give me that money back. You're rich. This is going to have a golf simulator. We're going to have a skee-ball arena. It's going to be epic. Wait, give me that money back.
You're rich.
This is going to Leo's college fund.
Okay, fine. That's fair.
I'm an arcade operator.
I'm a carny.
You asked me what's next. I'm going to go back
and build my arena
and run the skee-ball leagues
in San Francisco and LA.
So you just basically created a league that you can be the best at.
Well, I'm just going to be on the sidelines now.
Really?
Wait, are you announcing your retirement?
I'm not announcing.
Whoa.
What just happened?
What just happened?
I'm getting old, man.
I thought I was washed up, and then last night happened.
So I'm not announcing my retirement.
Is there like a peak age for skee-ball where you plateau and where you plateau and descend he did he was like 42 when he beat me um so yeah you're good how old are you like 30 i'm
35 just turned 35 you look 34 max coming off a back injury though you are i did tweak my back
moving a ski ball machine about i'll do it four weeks ago i had to heavy implement a rigorous stretching routine to get
out of it wait so what uh what's the what are the other arcade games you're good at i assume you
have like a bunch right down the clown pop a shot air hot are you good at pop a shot we have
i mean i'm talking the full size 10 foot oh yeah that's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, I've got about 15 of those in bars all over California.
How much do those cost?
The ones I buy are between five and eight grand.
The ones that move back and forth are, yeah, they're like seven or eight grand.
Are those not true Papa Shot?
That is the true Papa Shot that is now called Super Shot.
And then I've got some that are stationary as well.
Okay.
Wow.
I mean, I love just anyone who has an atypical job and atypical life,
and you basically have made a life out of just arcade games.
That's fucking sick.
Yeah.
That is very sick.
So wait, back to your retirement.
So you're done?
You're fully done.
This is it?
I'm not going to roll in the league because I'm going to be SCEOing my leagues.
Wait, so are you creating a second belt?
I am a franchisee of Brewski Ball.
So I operate Brewski Ball leagues in San Francisco.
SCEO is still your boss.
I'm a regional SCEO.
Eric Foney is the head of Bruce Ski-Eo.
Isn't one of your best friends the president and player in the league?
Oh, Paul Rabel?
Bobby Lang is here.
Bobby, go ahead and sit down.
So we've got – this is Champions Friday.
We have Joey the Cat, the world champion in ski-ball.
Bobby, if you want to put the mic – if you want to pull the mic closer to you
and then you can put it on the headphones.
And now we have the rough and rowdy heavyweight champion of the world.
Actually, we're just talking about unifying belts, which we're going to try to do.
I think Dana White has to unify the belt.
Here, pull it even closer.
But Bobby meets Joey.
Good.
Champions.
Both of you probably should respect each other's craft.
What do you think is harder, winning a ski ball-ball championship or fighting in heavyweight rough-and-rowdy fights?
Oh, good question.
I'm a terrible sparring partner.
I would say getting the shit kicked out of you is a lot harder than winning a skee-ball championship.
Okay.
Yeah, I definitely agree that there's less risk of injury in skee-ball.
Well, he tweeted back three weeks ago.
Oh, I didn't hear about this.
Moving a machine.
Okay.
I take back what I said.
Bobby, have you ever got walloped?
Have you ever been fucked up?
Pulverized?
Well, in like sparring?
In any situation.
I mean, I've definitely got my ass kicked.
Here's the thing.
I always come out on top,
but I take a lot of damage along the way.
You know what I mean?
I've gotten beat up,
but I still,
but you won the fight.
The other guy looks,
you ever heard the expression,
did you see the other guy?
Yeah.
That holds true with me.
Doesn't matter how fucked up,
I'll come to home with fucking blood all over me,
black eyes,
but the other guy looks worse.
And that's all that matters.
So you never lost in any type of fight?
I've never lost a legit fight.
I've,
in sparring,
like training,
I've definitely like had rounds where I've lost rounds, like left i've inspiring like training i've definitely like
had rounds where i've lost rounds like left the gym like yeah i didn't do good today that wasn't
good but how many fights have you been in like boxing there was three fights street uh like
probably 35 before i started boxing what's that what's that usually start with someone just like
stepping on your foot or something no well used to back a few years all
right i've toned it down a lot over the last couple years i'm getting older my accent is insane
you know i mean now that i'm boxing your accent is gonna fuck me up all right i'll try to like
you guys might need to put on subtitles then to figure it out but uh no i i yeah when i was a
young guy i was like a loose cannon like i would fight over fucking anything drop of that you said
the wrong thing to me i'd fucking punch you in the face.
That's the thing.
A lot of people out there that, like, talk shit, but they're not really about it.
Like, I was like, no, if you want to talk shit to me, you better be ready to fight because I'll fucking punch you in the face.
Right.
Right here in front of everybody.
I don't give a fuck.
You know what I mean?
But now I'm older.
I'm 29 now.
I don't do that shit anymore.
But when I was in college and shit, yeah, I was getting fights all the time.
I always thought that the fight, like, in college it was either you find a chick at the bar,
you go get a pizza, or you fight.
Those are the three options to every college.
Or you hit the trifecta.
You do all three in the same time.
You do all three?
Pizza, pussy, and punch?
Yeah, not many.
That's when you beat the fuck out of the pizza man.
There's a pizzeria fight somewhere.
You're done fighting, and this happens to be in Saratoga
and they got like all those pizza places that are open until like 4 in the morning.
And you're like, ah, you know what?
I should probably just get in the cab,
but I'm going to grab a couple slices first before I get in.
And then when do you get pussy?
Not much.
Oh, God.
No, I'm just kidding.
I thought in that night.
Just kidding.
I'm actually getting married next week.
Oh, shit. Right before the fight? kidding. I thought in that night. Just kidding. I'm actually getting married next week. Oh, shit.
Right before the fight?
Yeah.
Whoa.
Do you think that that's...
It's not chill.
So no honeymoon?
Yeah.
I'm like, hey, sorry.
The honeymoon's West Virginia.
Charleston, West Virginia.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hold on.
You're getting married and you also are cutting weight?
Yeah, that's the problem.
That's the situation I'm running into that's not chill.
Oh, my God. Can't you guys like me god you guys like me nervous now because this is like so joey the cat he lost the
2019 championship to skeeball kid because he had a kid three days before and then had to fly to the
championship i mentioned last night joey chestnut the only time he's had his streak of wins break up
was when his fiancee dumped him a week before the hot dog
eating competition.
Yeah.
I'm getting nervous now.
All right.
That you're getting married a week before this fight.
Was he engaged or married?
So let me break it down here.
So it's not ideal because you're right.
I have to cut weight.
So obviously going to a wedding the week before and drinking and all that shit is not going
to be good.
Are you going to fight at your own wedding?
Probably not.
I think you have to.
It's a possibility.
I mean, I wouldn't rule this out.
I would never rule it out.
You can never rule out the possibility of me getting in a fight.
Because if you ruled it out right now, then someone's going to test you.
It's like you're a pussy at your own wedding.
No matter how much I say I'm older and more responsible,
there's still a part more responsible that there's still
a part of me that like there's a line if you cross i'm gonna punch you in the face you know
what i mean like don't care where i am yes yes but no i'm gonna it's gonna suck because yeah i'm
gonna drink and all that shit but then i'm gonna be right back at the gym the next day and i'm
gonna i have a week to get back into my weight and i'll be good and then if you win you'll you'll
have an awesome honeymoon yeah definitely yeah right that Yeah, right. I actually respect it from a gambling perspective of all your eggs are in one basket.
It can either be the best two weeks of your life or really kind of ruin your marriage.
Yeah, basically.
The marriage will be off to a horrible start if I lose.
Put it that way.
All right, so KB, you need to help Bobby because Bobby, Pac-Man has insisted that they fight at a certain weigh-in weight.
So, Bobby has had to cut weight.
So, you have to cut legitimate weight from what to what?
What you're walking around.
So, before I started boxing, I was like in the 200s.
I was a fucking monster.
I lost a ton of weight from like over the last couple of years that I've been fighting.
The last few fights, I fought like 185.
So, I walked around around like 190 and just from training in the shade i would
get down around 185 which was like what i was fighting at so this is another 10 pounds lower
than so 185 was already pretty light for me and now i'm going to 175 going to 170 what are you
right now today i was 179 pounds to 75 oh yeah you're good but i've already been that won't be
bad i've been working at this for three straight months.
This was a long journey getting here.
I'm basically like bulimic at this point.
Just don't wait until the last day or two to cut like four pounds.
Yeah.
So I'm trying to –
You don't want to be dehydrated.
Yeah, but that's –
No Adderall.
Adderall is a cheat code, but it will make you fatigued.
Oh, I can't do Adderall because I get drug tested.
Yeah, that's true.
They made me drug test yesterday.
So wait, how much weight do you
think is okay for him
to put back on after he
weighs in on Thursday night before the fight on
Friday? It depends
on what you can handle. I would say
six pounds.
Anything more? That's what I'm thinking.
Yeah, I'm hoping I can get down to
175. Well, obviously I'm going to get to 175 for the weigh-in.
But right after that, I'm going to start just like loading up on calories.
My trainer is coming with me.
He's going to do all that shit with me.
And like he has all the meals scripted out for the whole day.
And the goal is to gain back like, yeah, like six pounds or something like that.
So when I get in the ring, I'm going to be like 181 pounds or something.
I've seen guys for day before weigh-ins come to the competition the next day like 15 plus pounds
that's got to be unhealthy yeah i know some people they'll lose 15 in the 24 hours before the weigh-ins
and then gain 15 before like the competition so they're already like a weight class or two
above their average like yeah i know some guys that do that they go to my gym and it's fucking
crazy i don't know i couldn't do that yeah you. Wouldn't you get so fatigued eating all that food after spending so much time?
Yeah.
Well, but for – because wrestlers are used to just an hour.
Right.
You weigh in and then you have to compete an hour later.
So when they get the full 12-plus hours, they're –
He's getting 24.
This is amazing.
Actually, I really get like 36 because the weigh-ins, what?
Usually like 6 o'clock.
Yeah. 6? I don't fight until like 11 o'clock at night yeah that's true yeah i got yeah no yeah you can
put on way more than six then yeah definitely so that's the plan so pac-man if you're listening
your little plan to make me 175 pounds is not gonna fucking work yep i'm gonna weigh in at
175 pounds but i'm gonna be 180 something when i get there what is your record at rough and rowdy five
and oh five and oh five and what is the result what type of wins uh well i had two kids quit on
the stool yep so tkos and then i at my first fight i actually tko the ref stopped it and then two
decisions the first one was providence yeah yeah that was a fucking electric yeah i'm still chasing
that like that was i mean well i mean we have COVID, we haven't had fans a lot of times. That Providence fight, Owen was there.
That was one of our best crowds.
I mean, that was when I did the Canadian National Anthem,
and everyone booed me and threw beers at me.
Well, there was a Canadian guy fighting.
I fucked it up.
Yeah, I fucked up the anthem, and everyone was like,
Oh, they were mad because you fucked it up,
or mad because they're xenophobic?
They were booing me because it was a – were you fighting the Canadian?
No.
I fought that kid with the dreads, Mike Live.
Yeah.
There was the title fight was a Canadian versus American, so we built it up.
I did the Canadian National Anthem.
Everyone loudly booed it from the first note, and I just cracked up.
And then I started fucking up and then
everyone booted even more and started throwing shit.
It was tough.
It was very funny.
Very funny.
I'm so excited for Rough and Rowdy in two weeks.
Then Donnie's opponent.
Donnie.
Chef Donnie's fighting.
My guy, Shizat the Rizat.
Shout out Shizat the Rizat.
Are you going to buy the fight, Joey the Cat?
Now I am.
I just gave you that money.
You have to buy the fight.
That's the only thing i ask okay pay-per-view friday night two weeks from now it's the best it's the best
20 you can spend because it's basically three hours straight of boxing and we do commentary
and uh just like crack jokes the whole time i love it do you go back and listen afterwards to
what we say yeah every time i don't even know what i say i think we always are pro you you guys usually are on my side right i'm cool
thank you for that yes yes i i know like usually what i say and like oh if that person goes back
and listens it probably won't like me yeah you and like shizat and a few guys like are guys that
i always root for yeah definitely yeah people always text actually usually before i even watch it, I usually get a bunch of texting people being like,
Yo, Big Cat fucking said this and that.
And I'm like, oh, sick.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
All right.
So I think we're in the clear.
I don't want to get punched in the face today.
No.
Yeah.
I'm fucking excited, though.
Yeah, same.
This is great.
I think we should probably maybe do a hybrid like skeeball.
Yeah.
I feel like we haven't talked about skeeball in too long.
No, but I'm saying a hybrid skeeball. Oh, there we haven't talked about ski ball in too long no but
i'm saying a hybrid ski ball uh oh look at that what's this i want to give the yak uh a commemorative
hundo cup signed by me and the kid whiskey ball badge i didn't bring any props so no that's okay
you made me look prop list whoa this is okay yeah that's a huge guess
that's your 1800 back right there yeah right here i'm gonna sell this on ebay so this is this a soft
hundred pocket or a hard one i don't know if it's even ever been rolled oh wow okay commemorative
no i was saying we should do a combo like imagine if we did a rough and rowdy and in between the
fights we had a skee-ball competition.
So it goes back and forth.
Why not?
What's stopping us?
What the fuck is stopping us?
I'm assuming there's a lot of fighting fans who also are skee-ball fans.
I think anyone is going to be a skee-ball fan.
If it's close enough, if it's two heavy hitters like them.
Yeah, especially after last night.
That would probably be the least surprising thing to happen at Rough and Rowdy.
A skee-ball game breaks out.
Yeah, it just breaks out.
Has a skee-ball game ever broken out?
Much like a fight.
Have you ever been in a situation where you're like,
yo, let's settle this at skee-ball?
Let me wheel my lane out.
We're going to do this.
Has that ever happened?
I don't think so.
Have you ever gotten in a fight at a skeeball game?
No. People have
made love on skeeball lanes, but no fight.
Really?
That sounds like you have.
No, it was at a music
venue.
I did meet my wife at a
skeeball tournament, though. Did you meet
your wife at a rough and rowdy? No. Okay Did you meet your wife at a rough-and-rowdy?
No.
Okay, all right.
I've been with her a lot longer than that.
That would have been sick.
She was not thrilled when I first started doing this.
And now is she in?
I'm sure she's not thrilled about you having to devote your wedding weekend to her wedding week.
She was pissed about that.
I was like, we're going to have to tell you, it's going to be in August.
She's like, our wedding's in August.
I'm like, I'm aware of that.
Well, there's three other weeks – three other weekends in August.
So hopefully it's on one of those weekends.
What would have happened if it was on – like would you have fought still?
Well, they asked – so they were trying to – they obviously called me.
They were like, hey, do you have anything in August that we need to plan this around you?
Obviously, you're the main event fighting Pac-Man.
And I was like, yeah, I do with my wedding.
And they were like, oh, okay, yeah, definitely.
But yeah, I can't do that weekend.
If you got married in the ring, that would be awesome.
They actually asked me if I would do that.
Of course.
I was like, no.
I know I might have to put on this persona.
I'm really not white trash in real life.
I was like, I'm not fucking.
They were like, all right, you already have a venue booked?
I'm like, yeah, like two years ago.
They did ask me to do that.
I was like, no.
I was like, and my fiance would never be cool with that.
Is she going to come to West Virginia?
Yeah, she comes to me every time.
Oh, love it.
She's ride or die with me.
Yeah, I mean that's –
I think she's going to take a go into West Virginia every fucking three months.
Well, once – I mean the COVID stuff has been obviously hampered us.
But yeah, I mean the goal is to always travel a little bit more and do different events in different places.
I mean, we've done them in four.
The problem is the headgear.
You've never had to fight with headgear.
Yeah.
And headgear sucks, too.
Yeah.
Sucks.
I'd rather go somewhere shitty that doesn't require headgear than go somewhere cool that does.
Right.
Absolutely.
Although West Virginia is not shitty.
Yeah.
Well, I'll say this.
Morgantown, the last one, that was sick that was i like that that
was fun that was like a city college town but the one before that in charlestown it's like it
did nothing yeah there is nothing where's this one this one's charles that's our
west virginia has three cities total charleston charlestown charleston is our biggest city
charleston yes is where we're going
Yes, the capital
I'm sure that's probably fun
No
But it has things
It'll have like bars and a mall
Morgantown was fun, I liked Morgantown
Morgantown is fun
But Charlestown, I remember being like
I thought Charlestown was Charlestown
I'm not a geography guy
So I was driving there It was like a college i thought charlestown was charleston you know i mean i'm not a geography guy like yeah so i was driving there and i'm like it was like the scene in dumb and
dumb and he's like i thought the rocky mountains would be a little rockier there's fucking nothing
there's all farms and shit and i was like are we in the right place i'm like yeah gps says we're
here i was like oh fuck uh joey where's the weirdest place you've played a skee-ball game? Oh, good question.
Probably the first rental I ever did was to Airbnb's original office on the third floor
where the founder of Dropbox, the founder of Twitter were all playing skee-ball,
and I was wearing a leopard print onesie playing air guitar on the roof.
Wait, so you brought them? Yeah, you brought them the
skee-ball machine?
Jack from Twitter.
He was playing skee-ball?
I'm like, tweet me out.
He had one million followers
at the time.
He should have way more.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
This is like back when...
He invented Twitter.
This was 2010.
He was less than you.
I wouldn't give it to myself.
Oh, this is early.
This is like early, early.
Yeah, if I were Jack, I
would make everyone who
signs up for Twitter
automatically follow me. Yeah. I think he was doing that for a time. That's how he got the million. You should just have every follower. Yeah, if I were Jack, I would make everyone who signs up for Twitter automatically follow me.
Yeah, I think he was doing that for a time.
That's how he got to a million.
You should just have every follower.
Yeah, right.
Every follower.
And you can't unfollow.
That would...
Yeah, and then the world is yours.
That's it.
So wait, how much does a skeeball machine cost?
I think I want to buy one.
Six grand.
Six or so grand new.
I bought them all used, kind of like a used car.
I find them on Craigslist, eBay, et cetera, and I fix them up.
And all of my skeeballs are from the late 80s to late 90s.
Would you say that's the heyday of skeeball manufacturing?
It's what you remember from Chuck E. Cheese of your childhood.
It just sort of has that perfect cachet and look to it.
What were we playing on last night?
Those are like one or two generations newer,
but with the sort of brewski ball technology.
Got it.
So you think Futterman's like an old soul?
I don't know.
He's a legend in the making in my mind,
because I was 23 when I won my first national championship. If the fame gets to you, though, huh?
All the skee-ball fans.
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it does.
I can't hold them back.
Well, it's hard to repeat.
Like, we saw it last night.
He probably got, he rested on his laurels.
That's actually a very good correlation to boxing in that, like, you see it all the time.
A guy wins a big boxing match.
Like, you beat Pac-Man two weeks from tonight.
And I still would bet on you the next fight, but you'd have to wonder.
You get $50,000 in your pocket.
You're feeling yourself.
Yeah.
That happens to every boxer.
Yeah, Roberto Duran.
That's what happened to him.
Mike Tyson.
You just get to a point where you're like, I'm not going to lose.
Yeah, I'm not like that, though.
I'll just be already.
That's what Mike Tyson said.
Yeah.
I'll be already on to the next one.
You know what I mean?
I'm going to be like, let to the next one you know I mean like I'm gonna be like
let's go fucking keep this train rolling
what's the deal with Pac-Man in his
fighting history other than like his
airport fights where you got in the
street fights and shit yeah he's never
boxed before that was very bad oh no
yeah he's never boxed he's never boxed
this is first boxing match ever he's
been in a bunch of street fights but
that doesn't matter yeah Yeah, so have you seen
his training footage?
Yeah, he doesn't look great.
He thinks he looks good,
obviously.
His people around him
are all yes men
telling him he looks good
and he keeps posting it,
but I watch it
and I'm not impressed.
And it's a mini homecoming
for him because he played
at West Virginia, right?
Yeah, he's definitely
all about the fact
that he's in West Virginia.
Yeah.
Hometown to him.
We'll see.
I'm sure there'll be a pretty good crowd. I kind of hope that they're all rooting for him. I in West Virginia. Yeah. Hometown to him. We'll see. I'm sure there'll be
a pretty good crowd.
I kind of hope
that they're all rooting for him.
I like being the underdog.
Charleston is just south enough
where he won't have fans.
No? Okay.
I don't think he knows that.
Because he's already posted,
like, West Virginia, man,
coming home.
Uh-oh.
Whoa.
Well, either way.
No, it should be like a mixed.
The result's going to be the same,
no matter who they're rooting for.
That's true.
You're going to knock him out.
Are you going to guarantee a knockout?
I'm not going to guarantee it, but I'm going to knock him out.
Well, the problem is you're in a bad situation.
So you know what?
I am going to guarantee.
That's by definition a guarantee.
The problem with the guys you fight is guys just quit.
Yeah, that's a problem.
So you can't knock them out because they quit.
What do you mean quit?
Two guys have literally just... How do you just quit? They don't's a problem. So you can't knock them out because they quit. What do you mean quit? Two guys have literally just...
How do you just quit?
They don't come out.
On the stool.
You should be able to get one punch.
They did that Roberto Duran.
No mas, no mas.
Yeah, they sit down in between rounds and they just say, I don't want to come out.
So not a tap out, just them not getting submitted.
Yeah, like in between rounds, they're like, I'm not coming out again.
Yeah.
Just three one-minute periods.
You should be able to get one more punch while they're standing on the stool.
Yeah, that should be a rule.
The ref's like, yeah, you got to – all right.
If you're going to tap out, you got to take one more punch.
One punch.
I would knock him out then.
Yeah.
And that's got to suck too because you do want to – like you want to put on a show.
Yeah, exactly.
I feel like I'm getting cheated out of knockouts every time this happens.
Yes, I agree.
Like the last time it happened, I was like so confident coming up for the third round.
I was knocking.
I was trapped.
So I thought I was like, I'm going to knock this kid the fuck out.
Like 100%.
I'm putting this kid to fucking sleep this round.
And then the refs like, yeah, he's not coming out.
And I'm like, what the fuck again?
Like, so some guy named Trapzilla was like, I'm quitting.
Yes.
Yes.
He does have nice traps.
He does. Steven, am i doing this ad yes all right so when
you need to slow down just open a core's light it's mountain cold refreshment made to chill it
tastes great from core's brewing company in golden colorado slow down and celebrate responsibly get
core's light in the new look delivered straight to your door with drizzly or instacart by going
to coresight.com
slash take. Thank you for Coors Light last night.
Had a bunch of them. Delicious.
Do we have any callers,
Steven? No. Okay.
What else do we want to talk
about, boys?
Not everyone at once.
Not everyone at once.
Can I bring up the one thing
I really enjoyed about skee-ball last night?
I mean, I enjoyed a lot of things, but I thought it was so different.
It's just a juxtaposition of styles, of ages, of even the way they threw it.
Like Joey the Cat has only one with wood balls.
Elon's a plastic ball guy.
Elon has the walk-up and does kind of a little shuffle as he does it and goes for hundos.
Joey the Cat more of a
straight-up one-pose down the middle
going for 50s. I just thought
it was the most unique
rivalry just because they're completely
opposite in almost every
category. I mean, Joey's 35, Elon's
22, so it was just the most
unique rivalry. We could tell going
in there. I mean, I was there very early, but you could tell it was going to like something big we could tell going in there I mean I was there very early
but you could tell something big was going to happen there
that night
yeah I mean it was a clash of styles through and through
and now do you think that you
like we were just talking about
the guy who loses once more
do you think that next time you play
skeeball kid he's going to beat you
or do you think you've
cracked that nut i mean
i've definitely i i played his game last night which was something i totally don't subscribe to
having to roll hundreds in hybrid so that was that was like i don't i think i've got his number
moving forward wow but i'm gonna do a rubber match i think the rival is one one wait so did you miss
the first time you lost to them?
It went five games?
It was a different format.
It was like a kind of NCAA bracket.
So you just played one game against 64 rollers.
Holy shit.
You had to work through the bracket.
And so we just, like, you know, set one last night, that electric game,
we just did one of those in the last year's Nationals.
And you lost by one roll i was rolling second i had
to roll a white buffalo to win 44 and i missed the eighth ball so i needed to go for 100 to
to secure the victory and i missed that 100 holy shit what a match last night first set was
down to 20 points there's one roll yeah, it was 413 to 411.
And that's what everyone wanted.
Fuck.
All right, so if we have no calls, I'm just going to say it, right?
Should I just say it?
Pac-Man was supposed to call in, but he fucking ghosted us.
Really?
I was being a pussy, yeah.
That would have been electric.
I know.
Also, I didn't know that you could call in.
Well, you can't really.
We don't do calls.
I was saying that because I was hoping that they were going to say yes.
Did he agree to call in and now he's not answering?
He said he was going to call in at 1.30.
We're going to surprise Bobby Lang.
It is now 1.37, so he's clearly not going to call in.
So he's ghosting you.
He was missed off.
Right.
Huge missed opportunity and he's scared of you.
He's clearly scared of me.
Do you think?
I mean, he should be.
Are you worried about maybe a Jose Canseco situation?
Which, again, we had nothing to do with.
Jose took a dive because he fucking is a scumbag.
There wasn't – like people were mad at us.
Like we – I mean the only thing that could be mad at us is like saying like well dave and dan
you should have seen it coming because jose is a scumbag all his life yes that's fair yeah but like
we we expected him to fight and he just did it yeah i don't think that's gonna happen this time
because they they put a morality clause in our contract fuck yes all right so we're there so
that's good that's what we needed for jose yeah basically you have to really try yeah you live
and learn i mean it's kind of like, fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Like, you guys learned your lesson from the last time, and now this time, moving forward,
never going to happen again.
Did they make you take the morality course, too?
Which is funny.
I was like, I'm not going to fucking do this.
Yeah, I know.
That's an affront to you, to Bobby Lane.
I was like, why would I ever die?
Right.
Right.
That's not, like, a million times you would never take a die.
Yeah, but they were like, we just have to put it in both.
So I was like, I don't give a fuck
I'll sign it
Whatever
Man
How long are you guys
Sticking around for today?
I don't know
They got some other stuff
Planned for me I guess
So whatever they tell me

You have?
Yeah.
In person?
No.
I saw Calvin Harris like front row once in like a very small venue.
Back day in Vegas.
Yeah.
No, in Chicago after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup.
He was doing like a private talk. I think he's the highest paid DJ after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup.
I think he's the highest paid DJ in the world.
Is he?
Yeah.
Fuck.
I didn't get on that level of DJing.
You do?
Yeah, of DJing.
You've got to produce the music.
It's a skill.
Do you have any music you're trying to produce?
No.
Okay.
Didn't you just release a song on Spotify?
Oh, shit.
You did?
I did.
What's it called?
Don't worry about it. Can we play that song?
I'm actually looking
for a new walkout song
for my next fight.
Oh, what are you going to do?
It's a secret for now,
but I'm not going to hear this.
Yeah, let's play it.
Don't play it.
I've heard it so many times
I've never hated this song.
Oh, this is your song
from Rediscover America?
Yeah, and Donnie performed it solo a cappella,
and that was the most uncomfortable one minute and six seconds.
Yeah, that was pretty uncomfortable.
I watched that.
It didn't do it justice.
By the way, shout out to Nick bringing his straight-ass dad to the bar last night.
Dude is so straight.
You weren't saying that off-air.
No, I wasn't.
You said he was gay.
Well, he did say like
we started talking and he started talking to me about oh this isn't really my style yeah not your
style i like it though but no no you don't not for walking out you don't like it all right i'll
just be in this. Thank you.
Shizat might come out for this.
Ooh.
Shizat's right there.
He's the champ.
Oh, no.
No, he wouldn't.
I don't know.
There you are.
He's kind of all over the place.
Yeah, this is kind of sick.
I can see it.
Who else is fighting in two weeks? Anyone else?
Any of the other names that you know?
I don't know.
That's the thing.
They haven't really posted much about anyone else. Alright. Milkman, maybe? I don't know. That's the thing. They haven't really posted much about anyone else.
All right.
Milkman, maybe?
I don't know.
We've got to look at it.
Yeah.
Steven, can you do Bobby Lang a favor and post, like, a Pac-Man Jones worst coverage, like, tape?
Are there highlights of that?
It's actually funny.
I have a wicked funny video that my friend made.
It's Pac-Man getting fucking stiff-armed to the ground,
like let up a huge pass for a touchdown, and we put my face on it.
And I tried to post it on Instagram, but fucking NFL blocked it
and wouldn't let me post it.
Oh, fuck.
And actually we had Dave on the – his face on the quarterback throwing the ball.
It was perfect.
They would have got like 1,000 likes, but fucking the NFL copyright.
You could tweet that.
Can you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't have a Twitter. I just have Instagram. I have000 likes. But fucking the NFL copyright. You could tweet that. Can you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't have a Twitter.
I just have Instagram.
I have one of my guys do all that shit for me.
One of my friends.
Yeah, part of the team.
Yeah, he makes all that stuff.
How does that work if you win?
Who's getting paid?
Well, I got to pay my trainer and the gym I go to.
And then, yeah, I don't know.
Some of my friends are kind of just like doing shit to help me.
Hoping like, you know, if he does make it big like someday he's gonna remember me and i'm
gonna i'll make it up i was telling i'll make it up to you guys someday right so do you know which
ones like all right these guys are here because they're hoping i get it big and these guys are
here because they love me well it's kind of my all the same crew i've been with forever but there's
a couple in particular that like actually go out of the way to do things to help me oh nice you gotta remember them yeah yeah yes okay so like the kid that makes
all the funny videos that i post like he yeah i'm gonna owe him something yeah absolutely yeah
joey what's your entourage look like foxy foxy foxy let's go oh man i don't have I don't have as big of a following as you do, I'm sure.
But, yeah, I mean, my wife is my number one fan.
My mom.
Yeah, that's the second try.
I'm sorry.
I literally had four people there in the bar cheering for me last night versus, I mean, obviously you guys were cat converts.
But the kid had like 70 people.
Wait, your four were loud.
Yeah, who were your four? Did people. Wait, your four were loud. Yeah, who were your four?
Did you know that?
Your four were good.
One of my best friends in the whole wide world, my buddy Joe Garvey.
He was wearing your bachelor party shirt.
He was.
The cat's last prowl in Vegas.
That was a trip.
Did you prowl for the last time?
Oh, God.
That was brutal.
What was your final prowl?
Oh, man.
Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas is pretty grimy.
And then his friend, Jillian.
And then a couple rollers from SF.
Wait, who was right behind you?
Because they were crowding my leg space like nobody knew.
Oh, that's the guy.
Joey Garvey.
That's Joe Garvey.
Can we get a picture of that?
That's classic Garvey, though.
That's how Garvey sits.
That's classic Garvey.
No one has been emasculated more than Stephen was last night for the entirety of that fucking match.
And I'm convinced that the Ski-O, he was intentionally drawing it out because that was such a big night.
He wanted us to just hang out forever.
It's like when you're a little kid and you're like, no, don't leave, friends.
Can my friends eat over?
Can they sleep over?
That's what he was doing to us at the bar.
Steven was sitting like that the whole time.
Look at him.
He's fucking dominating.
I did not know we were live.
I didn't know people could see us.
Yeah, I didn't either.
There were a lot of cameras in there.
Yeah, there were.
I was trying to get social stuff.
I didn't notice.
I honestly didn't notice the first set.
And then after that, I evened it out bobby did you go on a bachelor
party i did actually a couple weeks ago i went to saratoga oh nice did you win uh no i never win i
i'm actually a frequent saratoga goer i i've been like seven times and i don't think i've ever i
think i've probably hit one bet in fucking seven trips i think i know everything though i'm studying
the book like i'm like oh it's so fucking obvious
This is easy
This is a walk
And I get a fucking horse break this fucking leg
Horse racing is impossible
I went a few weeks ago
It was a fun time
I'm actually going there again tonight after this
Oh Dave's there right now
Is he really?
Maybe I'll see him
I actually met him there a few years ago
Just randomly at a bar
I went up to him and actually met him there a few years ago, like, just randomly at a bar. He was in there.
And I went up to him, and I asked him for a pick.
And he was like, oh, I'm telling you, this is number five on this race.
It's a fucking lock.
It was the night before the Travers.
And so, obviously, I told all my friends.
We were like, dude, I saw Dave Portnoy at the bar last night.
Like, he's saying bet this horse for this race.
It's a gray horse.
Gray as the Nantucket mist.
This thing can't fucking lose.
So we all fucking loaded up on it. Horse absolutely fucking smoke of course of course of course everyone's
like ripping their tickets up like motherfucker it's crazy when people actually ask us for like
gambling like i'm happy to give it because i'm betting myself but i don't know shit yeah no no
one does you can't blame it's like yeah right like hate the game not the play yeah right you know
he's gonna bet like i think people don't, like, he just is betting grays just because it's his favorite color.
I mean, I bet grays now every time, too, because of that.
Yeah, right.
I think maybe my one win in seven years was probably a gray horse, and I was like, this guy has it all figured out.
Yeah, it's always the gray horse.
It's that easy.
Gambling might be the only thing 10,000 hours doesn't apply to.
Yeah, it's true.
Although, if you put 10,000 real hours into it, like— Like studying? Like, my problem is always I'm just not disciplined. Yeah, it's true. Although, if you put 10,000 real hours into it, like
my problem is always I'm just not disciplined.
I've learned so
much about gambling and then if I
see a bet that's
like, alright, the Monday Night Football game, I want to take you over.
Big cat, big cat.
Oh, he's on.
Alright, here we go.
Pac-Man Jones. Pac-Man Jones
is calling in right
now. Pac-Man, we Pac-Man Jones is calling in right now.
Pac-Man, we thought you were dodging Bobby Lane.
Man, get the hell out of here.
My phone was dead.
Your phone was dead?
That's where you're going to be in two weeks.
All right.
So right now it's talking is Big Cat, who's going to be calling the fights with Dave.
But Bobby's here.
You want to say anything to Bobby?
Hey, Bobby.
How you doing, baby?
Hello, Adam.
Nice to talk to you again.
What's up?
Yeah, nice to talk to you again, too, Bobby.
You ready?
I've been ready for months.
I can't wait for this.
Two weeks can't come fast enough.
Hey, you know you're coming to my stepping ground, though.
Not going to make a difference, though.
I don't give a fuck about that champ shit.
Yeah.
But when you come to... Sorry, though. Yeah, not going to make a difference at all. I don't give a fuck about that champ shit. Yeah. But when you come to work, buddy.
Pac-Man, how are you feeling in camp?
Because there's word that you don't know how to box.
Well, I really don't, but I know how to fight.
So, Bobby, he ain't no fucking boxer.
All he want to do is wrestle.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Maybe he haven't watched my last five fights.
Yeah, he's 5-0 in boxing matches.
I watched every fight you had, motherfucker.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've seen your one fight in the fucking airport.
One thing I know about me is I'm a dog.
Yeah.
Right.
So all that old fake-ass aggressive shit, that shit ain't going to work with me, bro.
Yeah, right.
Bring your football helmet.
You're going to fucking need it.
We'll see.
We'll see. Yeah? We'll see. We'll see.
Yeah?
We'll see.
So how does your sparring...
And the matter of fact, I like you as a person, Bobby,
and I want people to know that.
Like, there's no, like, personal and better between us.
We and him, we talk shit on Instagram with each other.
You know, I text him, hey, man, post this shit.
Yeah, in the same way.
You know what I mean?
Nothing personal between me and you.
It's just a boxing match.
I'm going to beat his motherfucking ass.
I'm telling you that.
I've heard that one before.
Yeah, he said he was going to knock you out, Pac-Man.
You haven't got nobody yet.
How are you going to knock me out?
Three people have quit.
Boo, I've seen the last three fights.
The last fight that dude hit your ass, you almost went to sleep.
Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about.
Pac-Man.
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
The one you came out
finding the first round. The second round
was about easy, but he beat your ass
the third round. You know what I'm talking about.
I really don't. Hey, Pac-Man,
my record says otherwise.
Pac-Man. Alright, well, I'm going to beat your ass.
Alright, well. On August 27th
at Charleston Coliseum,
whatever time we go on,
we're going to dap it up,
and I'm going to beat your ass.
That's what I'm telling you.
All right.
Y'all mark it down on the word.
He will not knock nobody out over here.
I don't think you've ever been hit by someone like me before.
That's the thing.
Who you sparring with?
Man, I don't fought.
I fought Albert Hainsworth, man.
What are you talking about?
You fought a football player.
Do you know who Albert Hainsworth is?
Yeah, Albert Hainsworth.
Yeah, he played on the path for a little bit.
I know who he is. I fought his ass, too. Yeah, in a boxing match or a fucking locker room fight? It's a football player. Do you know who Albert Haynes was? Yeah, Albert Haynes. Yeah, he played on the pass for a little bit. I know who he is.
I whooped his ass, too.
Yeah.
In a boxing match or a fucking locker room fight?
It's a big difference.
No, a real fight.
Yeah.
We went in the locker room.
This was a bar fight.
All right.
All right.
My point exactly.
Everyone bet the house on me.
The difference between me and you is I'm a real brawler.
This is my first time going in the ring.
I'm normally fighting motherfuckers with no boundaries. But, unfortunately, it'm a real bro. This is my first time going in the ring. I'm normally fighting motherfuckers with no
boundaries.
But unfortunately, it's a boxing match.
I might not be the best
boxer in the world, but I'm a street
fighter. I ain't taking no fucking lessons
and none of that shit.
Thankfully for me, it's not a street fight. It's a boxing
match, so I think you're going to be in over your head.
I got a question for you, Pac-Man. People are
saying, not me, but some people are saying
that it was kind of a pussy move
to put a 175 weight limit
on this fight.
I don't give a fuck what nobody's saying.
This motherfucker weighs 200 pounds.
I don't weigh that much.
Do we have a scale here? How much do you weigh right now?
How much do you weigh right now?
Right now, I weigh
170, probably 177, 178.
So you're the same size.
So why don't you make it 180?
And the fight is at 175.
Your fat ass can't get down, let me know.
I'm 178 right now.
If you can't get down to 175, tell me now.
What you want to give me?
I'm going to get down to 175.
Yeah, but then he's got 36 hours to get himself out.
Hey, I'll be 175 at the weigh-in.
Don't worry.
But 175.
And I agree to do it.
I agree.
I'm going to be 175.
And then you can have your meal the night before the fight
and get your fat ass back to 190.
That's exactly what I'm going to do.
That's what I told him, yeah.
He's going to do Mr. Jones.
He will do that.
I'll be 175 at the weigh-in.
Don't worry.
I'll make the weight.
But if you think I'll be 175 in the ring, you're fucking crazy.
I don't give a fuck.
What you going to be in the ring?
All right.
It's only 24 hours, nigga.
Yeah, all right.
Here we go.
I told him the same thing.
Not verbatim.
It's only 24 fucking hours.
Yeah, don't worry.
I'll make the weight.
I'm not worried about it.
You act like a nigga.
You gain all the weight you can gain. That shit ain't worry. I'll make the wait. I'm not worried about it.
Gang all the way you can gang. That shit ain't gonna help you.
Alright, well, like I said,
I've heard that before a million times. Everyone always thinks they're gonna win. We'll see what happens.
Man, listen, I know your whole background, man.
Yeah, alright. I know a lot about your background as well.
Pac-Man, he's getting married.
The week before the fight, he's getting married.
Man, check my background.
Yeah, you played in the NFL. I'm the only way I'm
losing this fight if they had to carry me out
this motherfucker. Well, they might have to.
That could be a way to lose. That is how
Bobby Lang said he's going to do it.
I can't wait to see.
Alright, well Pac-Man, thank you for calling in.
Officially not ducking Bobby
Lang, but I do think you're a little scared.
That's okay.
Who is that? That was Bobby? That was Joey the Cat talking.
You can follow him on Instagram.
Who said I'm shit?
Joey the Cat on Instagram.
Ski ball player.
Who the fuck is that?
I don't know either.
He just walked in here and started talking shit to me.
Tell him he can shut the fuck up.
Joey, shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up.
I know you're riding high.
Bobby, Bobby know what it is.
Ask Bobby.
Do he think I'm scared?
Hey, we'll find out on August 27th.

Pac-Man Jones.
August 27th.
Pac-Man Jones versus Bobby Lang.
Going to be fantastic.
Dude, why did you say that?
I'm sorry.
It had to be said.
He didn't like that.
He did not like that.
Not even a little bit.
Why would you do that?
You definitely don't want to cross him in the real life setting.
And you just called him a pussy?
He had a little tremor in his voice.
He kind of did.
I'm going to be honest.
That wasn't great for my confidence in him.
You had confidence in him?
I didn't know what to expect.
You're 0 for 1 this week on horses you've backed.
I know.
Get on the Bobby Lane trip.
No, I'm a full-on Bobby.
I was going to say, if he's 0 for 1, I don't want his bad juju.
Yeah, that's true.
Maybe stick with Pac-Man.
He went with Skee-Ball Kid last night like an idiot.
I did.
Some of us went with Joey the Cat, the winner.
