at Lake Tahoe. He's out of my life now, so a little different than the first time we interviewed Aaron Rodgers. Had a great time with him. He's a Jets quarterback. That's how we'll always remember him. So, great interview. We also got memes in on the action today. Yeah, memes asked some questions. Memes. Hard-hitting journalist memes. He actually fucked up one question. I won't spoil it. We'll actually talk about it after the Aaron Rodgers interview. I also have a... It's not a full Monday reading. I just have a paragraph I'd like to read to everyone. Um...

We have Mount Rushmore of animals we'd like to be.

Hank coming off his huge second place. I fucked that draft up. I wish I had screwed that up. Hot Honey should have been on the list. Yeah, and Hank was able to avoid fourth because I was just so bad. Some people are wondering if you did it on purpose. No, I just was bad. I was bad. We're going to talk about the Open Championship. We're going to have a great time. We have Who's Back of the Week as well. The MMA event of the year, Battle of the Giants, is coming up fast.

Lineal heavyweight world champion Francis Ngannou makes his return to the cage versus Hanan Ferreira. Women's MMA GOAT Chris Cyborg takes on 2023 PFL champ Larissa Pacheco.

Johnny Eblen goes toe-to-toe with Fabian Edwards with the Bellator middleweight title on the line. Battle of the Giants and Ganu vs. Fajera goes down Saturday, October 19th at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on ESPN Plus Pay-Per-View. Okay, let's go. There is violence and not a lot of work to be done.

No place to go washing. And then I can't name all of the songs. We're going to rock the electric avenue. And then we'll take you on a ride.

Today is Monday, July 22nd. And boys, Xander Shoffley...

is the golfer of the year. How about that? Two majors. Everyone thought it was going to be Scheffler. Checking them up. It's like crazy that the year has been Scotty Scheffler. I know there's still some golf left, but Xander winning two out of the four majors and

and winning it in incredible fashion in Scotland on Sunday, where he just, he, he went to the back nine. He was down two strokes, I believe. And he basically was like, fuck this. I'm winning this tournament. He had the eye or eye of the tiger. And I mean woods. And he was making shot after shot, shot four under in the back nine, one by two strokes, uh,

and he now has half of the majors in this year. And we saw his dad finally get to celebrate with him wearing his Panama – was it Panama Jack? Is that what the name of the hat is? I believe so. Yeah, he was wearing – Tommy Bahama maybe? Yeah, he was wearing the hat. He had a flask of whiskey. He was looking awesome. Hoss. Hoss. Big time Hoss. Absolute Hoss. And Xander is now – you can't say that Xander hasn't had a better – I know Scotty has all these wins on the tour –

Two majors to one. That's it. Xander had the better year. Well, it's crazy because Xander Shoffley could not win a major. Yeah. And then now the lid's off. He broke the seal. He did. We've all been there. And this is a big year for the United States of America. Yes. We had all four major winners. That was the first time, I want to say since...

It's been a very, very long time. 2000. Jack and Arnie. And it was all Tiger. No. No, because remember, he did the Tiger Slam. So it was not all four in the same year. It was 1982. Jack and Arnie? First time since 1982 that the winners of all four majors are American. Who was that in 1982? Don't have it. It's got to be Jack and Arnie. Probably Jack and Arnie. Yeah.

She's got to say that. But it's still USA is back. Yeah. It was... Suck my dick, world. I stand by my take that I don't want to play golf in England, Lynx golf, but I like watching it because it looked miserable. Friday especially. Friday looked like hell on earth. And they actually said that. I think someone, I can't remember who, it might have been Scotty, said it was the gates of hell when you make the turn to nine and the wind's just right in your face. Guys were hitting...

Actually, there was one guy who... I can't remember exactly who it was, but he said he almost hit driver on a par 3, but he's like, I can't do that. But he thought about it because the wind was that miserable. I think Scotty, it was that long par 3. It's like 230 yards, and Scotty hit a 3-wood, I believe, and stuck it to like 2 feet. It looked so miserable. Guys were struggling left and right.

but Xander was the best and it did calm down. I know that links go, it's fun to watch because it's fun to watch them struggle with it and have to hit these crazy shots. Uh, but I just watched it and was like, if I had to play that, I infinity shots for me. I'd say there's some holes where the bunkers are so deep that if I got in there, I would just take my bag and I, I would just drive the opposite direction. That was that one guy on Thursday who just left. Yeah. I'm out. It looked like me. I,

I like that move. He was like, he hit such a bad shot. He's like, I'm not going to go pick that up. Yeah, I can't say my back hurts. I'm leaving. I can't look for this thing. Yeah. Brooks today. He was it today. Was it yesterday where he lost his ball? I think it was Saturday. Yeah. He lost his ball and then he hit another provisional. And that was also a very tough one to find at that point when you're provisional is not when you can't see it. That's another one where it's like, I'm going home. Yeah. It's not my day.

And Xander just – I mean, that shot on 11 where he was just like, fuck it, I'm going right for it. Yeah. It was so awesome. Hank, I have a question for you as our golf expert, but we should at least mention that we are – that was really cool when Max cheered that loudly to make the cut and that has everything to do with the fact that he's a friend of ours and we're completely biased. Cut of the year. Cut of the year. Takeys are coming up next week. Might be cut of the year. Yeah.

That was one of those moments where I'm like, that's our guy. Yeah, he's a good dude. Right. We wouldn't make fun of it if it was someone else. That's our fucking guy. Good golfer. Even better human. This year he's been a better human being than golf. In the majors. Yes. Except for the first three rounds of the Masters. I will say, if he had done that for the US Open PGA or the Masters, it would have taken a lot for me not to say something.

I can understand being like, I don't want to have to fly all the way back home. Yeah. I'm here for this tournament. Yeah. And like it's across the pond, all that shit. You've probably got to be nice. You probably paid for your Airbnb already. Yeah. Might as well just use it for the weekend. Right. Like if you lose, if you don't make the cut at Masters, yeah, it's a bummer, but you can be home within five hours. Yeah. Also, if he hadn't made the cut, he might not have been able to get home with the airline delays. That's true. So think about that. Right. The the Claret jug.

I think it's the best golf trophy. Embrace debate.

Best one to drink out of, definitely. Are we counting the green jacket? The green jacket is a trophy. Yeah. In which case, I would say, yeah, green jacket. But besides the green jacket. What about the one that they wanted us to take a picture with? Oh, the FedEx Cup? Yeah, that one. I mean... The aura on that one. Really, it's all eyes forward to the road to Dubai. Rory told us that's the most important one of the entire year. Listen, the people at the PGA have been incredible to us, and they've gotten us some great guests. But when you were like, yeah, the FedEx Cup trophy's coming by. Do we want to do something with it? And Hank and I were like...

I don't know what we would do with it. Drink a Coors Light out of it. Yeah. We didn't win. I feel, I would feel wrong doing that to a trophy. We have no business. Yeah. I'd look at it. I would point at it. Yeah. Like, there it is. I'd be like, one day, one day this could be ours. No, but it's, the clear jug is, I think it's an underrated trophy. Yeah. It's one of the most underrated in sports. Did you hear Xander's dad said he's drinking wine out of it? It'd be sacrilege to drink beer out of it.

No, you can drink. It has to be room temperature beer. No, he said it would be sacrilege because it, let me get the exact quote. I think you have to drink whiskey out of it. Well, he was drinking whiskey out of a flask in the back of the media room. Yeah, you got to stay warm. Hank, question for you. Yes. In terms of this golf tournament. First of all, rank your majors. Which ones you'd want to win? Masters, Open, US Open. Oh, Opens too. What about the Ryder Cup?

That's not a major. That's not a major. In my mind. That's a good answer. So open is number two. You have more history. There's a lot of history. Birthplace of golf. There's a lot of history. Hank. And it's like more random. There's always more random winners, I feel like, in the open. Like even, what was the guy's name? Tristan. Tristan, yeah. This is what Zane. I thought it was Thurston for most of the weekend. Yeah. Yeah, Thurston. Same, until I turned it on the broadcast. I was like, oh, okay.

This is what Xander's dad said. He said, Xander said he himself is not a big drinker, so when a reporter asked what he would drink out of the Claret jug, he joked he couldn't wait to see what his father would put in here first. So then a gaggle of reporters rushed over to Stefan to ask. He solemnly looked down from the brim of his Panama hat to remind the reporters Claret means a red wine from Bordeaux. Of course it's a Claret jug. If you put beer in it, that's sacrilege. I'm not fighting with that guy. He was a hoss. I would put beer in it.

I'm going to let him do the wine, then maybe sneak in a little beer at the end. Americanize that trophy. My question for you, Billy Horschel.

Was kind of rooting for him. Seems like a really nice guy. Didn't feel like he dressed to win a major today. He's got a unique vibe, though. He always kind of dresses. I don't know. I think he dressed to win the Open. Yeah. The cardigan, though. He can't wear that anywhere else. I don't know. It just didn't feel like killer. It's a little too nice. What's the guy who read the kids' books, who was a U.S. sniper? Mr. Rogers. Yeah, that guy.

Not really a sniper. No, there's a rumor that he always wore the cardigans because his arms were just tatted up like a motherfucker. One of my favorite rumors. Billy Horschel. So I was rooting for him because I was like, I didn't have, I bet on Brooks, I bet on Hovland because we thought he was questioning death, one of the dumbest bets ever. So I was watching as a golf fan on Sunday and I was rooting for Billy Horschel.

His putting setup, when he set up for a putt on maybe four, I was like, that's it. He's done. I don't know if that's like – I know it's what his setup is, but it looks so nervous and so not steady that I was like, he can't win a major. It's also hard sometimes. You like to wear your heart in your sleeves, guys, but also sometimes when they're overreacting to missed putts and stuff, when it's that early in the round, you're like –

You got to get it together. Xander just doesn't react to anything. Anything. He was just staring. He would hit a great shot, and he would just stare down, put his head down, be like, next shot. Billy Horschel was practicing his putting technique while someone else was putting on the fourth or fifth. This guy's cooked. And I wanted him to do while I was rooting for him, but maybe he's got to, do you think as a golf expert, he's got to change his putting stance?

No, I think whatever. I think it got him that far. Okay. He's come a long way in the last year. Because I just saw it with my eyes and I was like, nah. Doesn't have it. Doesn't have it. I do think that the winner of the Open is usually the one that's most likely, when you look at their Wikipedia page, to just list their golf accomplishments and nothing else. Yeah. Just like, this is what this guy's known for, made the tour in this year, two top 10 finishes, then won the Open. Yeah, like a Masters champ might have a DUI.

They might have a DUI, something fun in there Maybe they played football in high school Open championship, there's so many guys He joined the web tour in 2011 Stuart Sink He was born on the web tour Stuart Sink won it? Yeah That was cool Tanline? At least he's got that Also really cool that his name is Stuart Sink He's got a Sink putz Anything else from the golf Did you watch it all Hank or were you golfing? No I watched You did? Yeah

I like having it on in the morning. Yeah, I mean, I watched the last three or four hours, but it was kind of like you wake up and guys have played 18 hours. But it's nice, like on a Saturday and Sunday, it's a nice change of pace being like, oh, it's going to be over by like 1 o'clock. It's just nice. It is fun to wake up and see somebody have like the worst hole of their life to start your day. Yeah. They're doing the recap of what happened, what you missed while you were sleeping. Like, oh, that guy had a much worse day than I'm going to have. Yeah. This is good. I also had a very dumb, I can't wait for football to be back.

thought, but just seeing the stands full of people in sweatshirts and jackets, I was like, I can't wait for Thanksgiving. Fall. Yeah. Can't wait for fall. Thanksgiving football. I got a text from our good friend Mike Vrabel this morning, just of a picture of the Muni lot. Oh,

Oh, nice. And it said, like, I can't wait for that. Yeah. Seven weeks, the Muni lot will look like this. And just look at these dudes getting ready to watch football in Cleveland. This is going to make you excited. Yeah. Very excited. Look at that. That's football. Almost back. We're almost there, guys. Yeah. I'm ready for it. I'm ready for football. My body is ready. I mean, golf is great, but football is football. That's just the difference. Have you seen the...

like clips coming from training camp. Yeah. It's awesome. I mean, we fucked up. We fucked up by letting Patrick Mahomes have Xavier Worthy. Yeah, that one. We did. That was a clip where it's like, get ready to see this a million times. Got to be especially bad for Bills fans to watch that. Yeah. Fastest guy out there. Okay. Other things. I guess we should probably talk about politics, but only do it in a sports way. Your boy memes.

Castellanos could not be more back. He's dialed. Castellanos hit a home run today. I know it was after Joe Biden dropped out of the race, but he also did it a couple hours after the announcement that Tom Brenneman is back in

calling college football games. That was my who's back in the week was old Tommy B. And then Castellanos like they, I would imagine the sports book lost all their money today on Castellanos hitting a home run. Yeah. And then it finds out, you know, he's going to hit a home run. You got a Pokemon go to draft Kings whenever, whenever something bad happens. Yeah. Cause Castellanos has dialed in. He's got his pulse on, on all the tragedies. Yeah. So I got a question. The only question I got is, is the whole Biden thing is he, he now is just that coach who's,

who got fired at Long Beach State and then made the tournament. That's what's happening? Kind of, yeah. So he's going to ride it out. He's going to coach the bowl game. What if just Russia loses the war against Ukraine? What if the economy goes through the roof? Yeah. Can he jump in first week in November and be like,

I think we're going to run it back. We got some momentum. We got something going here. It took me stepping down to make it happen. It is kind of like the backup quarterback situation. You know, the whole weekend was, we said this a couple weeks ago, but it really is political people not understanding sports fandom because all the leaks that were coming out saying there's no way he's dropping out were just what happens before a coach gets fired. Yeah, or if it's a quarterback, it's like Kamala –

Are you really ready to see Trevor Simeon start? Yeah, why not? You think you want a Trevor Simeon start. Let's go. Until he steps up and then throws three picks in the first half. And you're like, fuck, I kind of miss Zach Wilson. Yeah. And there's factions inside the coaching room. Yeah. It's like, oh, there's Trevor Simeon. Well, Trevor Simeon was drafted by the UPN. Trevor Simeon's a solid player.

Yeah, well, he's been around for a while. Kamala's had a job for like 20 years. He was drafted by the new GM, and they're like, we got to make this switch. So, yeah, that's politics as it relates to sports. So that's about it. Yeah. They're probably still going to lose. I do think it was fucked up they made him do it on National Ice Cream Day. Guy loves ice cream. Yeah. He fucking loves ice cream. He didn't wait right until the Open was over, too, which was nice.

Maybe he ate a bunch of ice cream and he was like, I could just do this every day. Yeah. Like, I don't have to have a job. I don't have to worry about running the world anymore. I can just... There probably is like a bunch of national ice cream days, right? That's one of those days. We should... Listen, Jill. Dr. Jill. Ice cream day, dog day. Donuts, coffee. It's like there's 17 of them. There's a bunch of women's days too. Yeah. And then whenever that happens, everyone... Like international men's day trends because everyone's like, how come there's no international men's day? And weird. Weird.

All that. There's only one steak and a blowjob day. Interesting. That's fucked up. Interesting. Huh. Interesting. Trying to keep us down. I think this week is Uncle's Day. Shout out to all the uncles out there. The real heroes.

National Uncle's Day, baby. Yeah, big time. You don't even become an uncle by you don't do anything. Well, you're born and then you have a birthday. Yeah, I know, but it's just very funny to be like, Uncle's Day, you don't choose to be an uncle. It's bestowed on you. It's bestowed upon you. You can't turn it down. You can't. You can't be like, no, I don't want to be an uncle. Thank God there's a holiday for uncles. The parents that pick up the kids and then just get rid of them at the end of the day. Uncles.

Once every month. I love it. You deserve a day off. You could also just tell Joe Biden just every day is ice cream day. Yeah. Jill, just tell him that. Just be like, honey, guess what? Ice cream day again today. Yeah. It is for me. The, uh, my,

Apple doesn't fall from the tree. My son is now pulling my own tricks on me where we went to the ice cream store last night or Saturday night and we got the same exact ice cream and he was like, hey, can I try yours? I was just like, God fucking damn it. Yeah, you never know. It might be better. I just had like half my ice cream. I was like, this is bullshit. There's nothing better than vacation gelato or vacation ice cream. Every day. Every single day. If I'm out of the office, if I'm in a different city...

You bet your sweet ass I'm getting gelato. Like a hot day at the beach or the pool and then ending it with a fucking huge ice cream cone. That's it. That's living, baby. But you know what I like about the cups is the tiny spoons. So you don't think that you're eating that much gelato. You're like, I'm just nibbling. I'm just a cone guy throwing through. Same. Same. Waffle?

Just regular. I used to be a regular, and then my lifestyle just got too big. Waffles are a lot. I know, but I need it to be able to hold all that ice cream. Yeah, but I like the... I'm usually one scoop right now. Yeah, no, I'm a two-scoop guy, and two scoops don't go in sugar cones or the cake cones. You need the waffle cone. It just is what it is. It's like going from XL to XXL. Same scoop or two different flavors? Sometimes I'll mix and match, but the problem is...

You got to make sure the bottom flavor is the, like, if you're taking a risk. If you're in between two flavors and you fuck up the bottom flavor, you got to restart and just get another cone. That's why I'm more into the cup because you get the two different flavors, two scoops, two flavors, and then you get all the toppings. If they can, like, put extra toppings, then the cup catches at the bottom. But it sounds like you're the same type of eater I am where if you get a plate and you've got three or four different things on that plate,

You save the one you really want until the end, right? The last bite is the most important bite. I dive into whatever fucked up vegetable that somebody made me get. Yeah, you got to get- I eat that first, and then you save the real action for the end. I have to have a great last bite. Want to know a real fat guy move that I do? Go ahead, Max. Not the ear fat guy. No, you go. You mentioned the toppings. Yeah, got to get the whipped cream, got to get the gummy bears, got to get the chocolate syrup. Sometimes I'll go real fat guy, and I'll get-

a bowl with the toppings and a cone on the side. And I'll just be like, it's like, you can basically have like six cones. Cause you just keep scooping it in. No, you keep adding more to the cone. You lick, then add more. And then you finally eat the cone.

Real fat guy move, but pro's pro move. I got a great, great spread this weekend. I got... It's a combination. I didn't even know that this existed. Shout out Michigan. They have more fat guy flavors than any other state in the union. Yeah. It's a combination, peanut butter and marshmallow fluff mixed into one spread. It is fucking awesome. That's pretty good. Yes. That's pretty good. What were you going to say, Max? I was going to ask if we could get ice cream tonight. Yeah, we should. Yeah. We should. Okay. We should. We should.

I'm so down. This is good. This is actually a perfect... I will throw it out there to the AWLs and anyone listening to this, maybe who just showed up to the first episode for Aaron Rodgers. Uh...

find me a breakdown of joe biden stepping down better than this one yeah where we just talked about ice cream deep 10 minutes deep dive into the sweet creamy treats this is how politics should be discussed can we have ice yeah can we have podcast outside today fuck yeah it's the summertime yeah do whatever we want what are what flavors you guys getting i'm gonna do i'm gonna do a mix of mint chocolate chip and then chocolate chip cookie dough mint chip mint chip

Mint chocolate chip. Mint chocolate chip. Yeah, I had double scoop mint chocolate chip last night. I wonder if there's somewhere walkable. I don't like it when the mint chocolate chip is white ice cream. Yes, green. It's got to be green. Make it green. It's got to be green. I want that weird fucked up color of green that doesn't exist in nature besides in mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Matthew, since you're sitting here and just nodding your head, I know you love ice cream, so tell us your favorite flavor. Chocolate. Okay, there we go. That's good. That's basically just running power offense. Yeah, run the ball. Run the football, stop the run. Four yards will get you first down. We're playing Steelers football right now. Peanut butter chocolate is my favorite. Peanut butter chocolate's not bad, but when you combine the peanut butter and the... In ice cream, it's good. I don't like peanut butter chocolate cookies.

I think peanut butter. What do you mean? Like if it's a cookie that has peanut butter flavor and chocolate flavor, I don't like that. Drives my mouth out. Oh, I agree with that. And an ice cream. He's saying like an actual cookie. Yeah. Like a peanut butter cookie. I'm not a big fan of peanut butter cookies, but I love peanut butter and chocolate together. Yep.

I'll eat peanut butter or anything Hank and I are maybe like the foundation of our friendship Is peanut butter and chocolate Anytime we have Reese's we'll just give each other A slice Speaking of Matthew Are we going with Huey as his name Someone said to me I'll find the tweet So Hole's out Hole is 100% out It just doesn't work We tried it doesn't work But shout out the AWL Mikey Memberships Great fucking name

Mikey memberships. Intern Matthew is a Huey if I've ever heard one. Don't even need to see him to know he's a Huey. I mean, I think he is a Huey.

And I kind of like the idea of him having to introduce himself to, like, football coaches and Aaron Rodgers being like, hey, I'm Huey. Now, let's talk about the spelling, because I think he's an H-U-E-Y. Correct. H-U-E-Y Huey, not H-E-W-E-Y. Baby Huey. Yeah, Huey. The comic. Yeah. You're Huey. Yeah, you're Huey. You're Baby Huey.

You're a big duck. You look like baby Huey. There's a lot of great Hueys out there. Yeah. Huey Lewis in the news. Baby Huey is a gigantic and naive duckling cartoon character. I mean, what? That's perfect. Huey Jackson, great football coach. Huey Jackson. Yeah.

Huey Lewis and the News. Yeah, yeah. Sports. Iconic album. It's one of Boomer's favorites. Yeah. So, yeah, he's Huey. We're going to try out Huey for a while. Is that cool with you, Huey? Yeah, that'll work. Okay. Good job. Back to ice cream. Yeah, it's the best. Yeah, it is. It's the best. Ice cream really is the best. Rank your ice creams. And when I say ice cream, I mean ice cream, custard, gelato.

I'm not sure you include frozen, frozen yogurt. Frozen yogurt is frozen yogurt. I think is too, just because it's a specific like time and place like frozen yogurt, a swirl,

towered fucking so high in a cone on a summer day with sprinkles on it rocks i'm gonna go gelato one then i'm gonna go um soft serve two then ice cream oh i i then i see what you're saying then frozen yogurt soft serve is what i'm really talking about yeah soft serve yeah i'm not talking about frozen frozen soft serve frozen yogurt it's

It's manageable. Anything that comes out of the machine, I just say frozen yogurt, which is stupid, but it's soft serve. Also, those places also have all the candy you want. Yes. You can make it taste however you want. I would say 16 handles. Yep. Or the one here. Forever yogurt. Forever yogurt. Yep. So good. I would say frozen yogurt is the Brock Purdy of ice creams. You can win with it.

Ideally, would you take it number one? Probably not. But you get all the great toppings on it and it becomes great. Right. The key to frozen yogurt is to trick yourself into being like, it's not as bad as ice cream, but then you put an entire candy bar on it. Yep. That's what you do. Yep. And it's great.

Okay. Anything else going on in sports or politics? This is good sports. We crushed the politics. We might be the best politics. Like, move over to the Johns. We're pretty good. We crushed the politics. USA almost lost to South Sudan. Oh, yeah. More politics. That's fine. Update from back here. Huey has already changed his Twitter name to Huey. Oh, yeah.

Huey. Oh, I love it. I fucking love it. Love that. Yeah. So we scored with eight seconds left, right? To take the lead. We're down by like 14, 15 points in the first half.

LeBron. I'm convinced that Steve Kerr told the guys, like, fuck this up. Like, tank a little bit, and then let's see if we can come back. South Sudan, Luol Deng has basically put that entire program, put it together, and they're scrappy. Yeah, they got some decent players. Yeah, so. It's a wake-up call. Steph and LeBron saved the day. Steph hit that big three. Derek White. Derek White, that lob to Ant. I don't know what happened there. That wasn't Derek White's fault. It was Ant's fault.

Or not sorry, Anthony Davis. But yeah, are we worried? Does this count against USA? Max, did you see Joel Embiid's quote? Oh, that was what my Monday reading was. We should talk about it after. I thought it was satire. Yeah, let's talk about it after. Okay. Because it is... You have one quote, I have another. You have the one about LeBron? Yeah. Yeah, I have another. We'll do that after Aaron Rodgers because it is quite... He did a New York Times profile.

It's quite something. Can't wait. I thought it was like, oh, this is butt crack sports. It was quite something. Okay. Let me see what else did I have on my list of sports topics. The Celtics gave another extension. Yeah. Where the fuck are you guys getting all this money? They don't. So they're selling the team. So the current ownership is like, fuck, I'll give everybody a contract. I'd never have to pay it. Good for your friend, Christoph Porzingis.

Yeah, I mean the... Wait, who got the extension? Sam Houser. Oh, yeah, yeah. But they have poor Zingas. They have everyone signed. They had the... Sam Houser made $45 million. And the penalty that they have to pay on it's insane. Why not? But who cares? That's just great ownership. Yeah, you want that. Like, go spend all the money...

Go for it again. You got the young guys locked up for a long time. Every ownership should look at this and be like, I mean, the Warriors kind of did that. Remember when the Warriors just spent money like it was going out of business? Why wouldn't you do that if you have the core of a championship team? Yeah, here's the thing. Money is not real. Yeah. Not to get all Aaron Rodgers on you, but money only has value because we say it does. Yeah. $210 million tax penalty.

That's that's that's straight money. That's a Biden. Now Biden's out. Who knows? Taxes might go down. That's fucking easy. I love it. There's also some Oakland athletics news. Maybe you have what you should do is you'd have you should have Zelinsky by the Celtics and then no money problems. Yeah.

It's not bad. Think about that. Okay, yeah. What was the Oakland Athletics news? I'm not smart enough to understand exactly what it is, but apparently there have been Oakland area investors, like business leaders that have money that want to either invest in or try to purchase a lot of the A's and keep them in Oakland. And Major League Baseball has allegedly been telling them that they're not allowed to talk about their interest. Ooh.

Because they want the A's to move to Vegas so badly. Because it's going to mean increased value for every other MLB team.

But apparently there are some people that want to kick money into the A's and keep it in Oakland. But for some reason, I don't know how the MLB is making them just shut up about it, but they're not allowed to talk about it. Fuck John Fisher. Again, this is where we stand on this. I don't know how deep this goes and how they're able to keep the people from being quiet about their rumored interests.

But it just stinks to high heaven. Yeah. And I don't like it. It's bad. It's bad for sports. Very bad. Did you see Jose Canseco throughout the first pitch? Oh, how'd he do? He actually did all right. Okay. Good. He flexed. Good. But yeah, this sounds suspect. It's very suspect. Sounds very, very suspect. Yeah.

I see people keep posting the temperature, like first pitch temperature, and it's crazy they're going to play in Sacramento. I know that Vegas will be indoors, but Sacramento's not. So the other day it was like Oakland first pitch temperature 75 degrees, Sacramento 105, Vegas 119. So I just looked it up right now. Apparently...

What's happening is the people that are rumored to have interest in investing in the A's and keeping them local, Major League Baseball is saying, don't talk about it publicly. You're not allowed to say anything because if you do, we're going to prevent you from investing in any other teams in the future. Oh, that's how they're making them shut up about it. That's bullshit. So fuck John Fisher. Fuck man fraud.

Fuck man fraud. Man fraud's a dick. That's bullshit. Yeah. Okay. The only other thing I had was Lamar has diarrhea again. Yeah. Yep. That's how we know football's officially back. Yep. Lamar Jackson missed the first day of training camp, right? Yeah, he had to be sent home. Yeah, he, I guess, showed up at the facility and then they sent him home because his butt hurt. Yeah. That's a classic first day of school move. Yeah. I could imagine Hank missed a couple first days. No, first days were fun.

You show up. First day's fun. The second day sucks. Yeah. Show up, get your fit off. First day, especially in college where you just get your books. Yeah, do a little couple ice breakers. Yeah.

Then you never show up again. Yeah. Syllabus day. Also, they had the MLB Hall of Fame induction today. Didn't realize that. Great timing baseball. Yeah. Jim Leland. I hope... Did he give a speech today? I think so. It was Jim Leland, Todd Helton, Adrian Beltre, and Joe Maurer. Jim Leland, he should have been smoking a cigarette. I don't know if he was during his induction, but he should have been. Yeah.

I don't know what, I guess now's the time, but why wouldn't you do it like during all-star break or something? I don't know. It was just, I was listening to the Cubs game on the radio and they were like, oh yeah, and the Jim Leland's going in today. Oh, okay. Cubs can't hit. Cubs cannot hit at all, Hank. They had a walk-off walk today.

I had my statistical model had him at 0% chance of winning that game when Shota had a no-hitter with like 9Ks going through six innings. And I was like, he gave a one home run. I was like, that's it. Statistical model at zero. They found a way. No, they suck. You went?

Saturday. Yeah, they can't hit. It's brutal to watch. I went Friday. I also can confirm they can't hit. Yeah. No, they cannot hit at all. It's boring baseball. You guys lost two out of three to the Pirates. It's true. But we won today. Two out of three to the Pirates. One out of one in your past one. That's a big rivalry. That's up for bragging rights in the state of Pennsylvania. Okay, let's do who's back of the week, and then we will do our Mount Rushmore.

My next back week is Conor McGregor. Oh, yeah. Jake Paul fought this weekend. I fought Mike Perry. I think that was supposed to be the Mike Tyson fight.

And McGregor, I think, owns the boxing company that Mike Perry is the face of. Okay. And after the loss, he basically was disgusted by what he saw. He said, you're fired, Mike Perry. And Mike Perry is? A UFC fighter. Yep. We knew. Some people at home might not know. Yeah, I didn't know that either. Okay.

But then about Jake Paul, I said, Jake Paul is the biggest piss bag I've ever seen in my life. 40 pound weight difference, juice out of his head, still shitting himself in there.

And just basically going after him for steroids. So is he going to... Wait, Conor McGregor was going after Jake Paul for steroids? Yeah. Interesting. Okay. Oh, by the way, last time we talked about Conor McGregor on this podcast, Robbie Fox reached out to me. He was very concerned that we thought that Conor McGregor might be done as a fighter. He wanted to clarify that he's not done. Oh, okay. Good. As a fighter. Good. But this sounds like, I mean, as far as Conor McGregor taunts go, this is pretty low. It's not that bad.

He said a lot worse about a lot of other guys. Yeah, maybe he's lost his fastball. He might. Yeah, because he was calling Habib a terrorist. Yeah. I swear to God, a fat can of bitch piss. Oh, that's good. Most valuable piss bag. And with the Irish accent that takes it up a notch. What is it? Fat bag of... Fat can of bitch piss. Fat can of bitch piss is pretty good.

Connor is not done, Robbie said. Not done. As long as he doesn't have any more movie premieres. As long as there's no movies that he stars in. I saw that face. As long as you keep him away from ecstasy, he's good. Oh, yeah. I saw the face at the movie premiere. Well, he didn't know where his face was. Okay, that's good. Who's back? He also was going over a bridge. That video is the funniest video I've ever seen. I don't know where that was from. Yeah, he was just going over some super high bridge and it was super cloudy.

And he was just talking crazy. That's the best Conor McGregor. Yeah, it is. I'm going to defend him on that one. Driving over big bridges freaks me out, too. He was walking over it. He was past this, and the guy just goes, the end of the bridge? The end of the bridge, yeah. No, I want Conor McGregor to be back. He's so electric. I'd like him to fight our good, close, personal friend, Michael Chandler. I'll be rooting for Michael Chandler, 100%. Or Michael Tyson. Yeah. By the way, I think Beer Games is out today.

They finally put the video out. Oh, enjoy. Yeah. Hopefully no spoilers. Okay. BFT. My who's back of the week is Tom Brenneman. Dear close personal friend Tom Brenneman. He's back in a big way. He's going to be calling ACC games on the CW. Yep. So the CW, according to The Athletic, they have a money ball approach as it creates its sports division.

and tom brenneman is an undervalued asset love that so yeah this is good he should actually given his background he should probably call live golf events yeah i feel like the kingdom of saudi arabia would love to have him on board yeah cw is where we had our bowl game yeah so the cw president whose name is by the way dennis miller is kind of crazy uh he hired him because he's taking full responsibility for his actions i think he spent the last couple years just talking to gay people

I did see him doing a bunch of speeches in front of people, so maybe that's what it was. Yeah, he's been apparently hanging out at local gay alliance meetings, just talking to people for the last three years. That would actually be awesome if in the broadcast booth he just had a big sign that like, number of days since I've...

Since I've used this word. Or if he just came out. But it would be great if it was like number of days since I used this word and he does the whole season and then all of a sudden it's like a Duke game in the middle of November and it's at zero and we're like, what? What happened? Something happened. Yeah. Or he just only calls Liberty University's games. Yeah. That'd be good too. All right. So Tom Brenneman's back. My who's back of the week. I have two. Well, Huey, do you have the WNBA All-Star game?

Okay, all right, you do. All right, so I'll do my other one. My Who's Back of the Week is clearing your search history because the attempted assassination of Donald Trump by Thomas Matthew Crooks, they basically went online, they tried to search through all his stuff, and his last search was porn. Oh. So you just...

I don't know. Just use the private browser because any day that you could go, someone could be like, hey, what was the last thing they looked up? Yeah, so what kind of porn was it? I think it was OnlyFans. Because you would have to think that he would, like, if you think it's going to be your last one, make it a good one. It was OnlyFans, I believe. But yeah, that's just a reminder to everyone out there that you could go at any moment. This one, he went because he was trying to kill...

a former president, but yeah, clear that browser history. Use the private browser because you don't want to be like, hey, this guy died and he was jerking off a couple hours before he went mortal. If you die, I will clear your browser history. Yeah. I'll make sure. Thank you. I will too. Thanks. Hank? Clear your browser history? Would you like us to clear yours? I don't really care. Okay. Let the people know. Yeah, once you're dead, you're dead. Would you like Max to stay signed into your Snapchat?

sure my tiktok sorry tiktok tiktok tiktok yeah okay that'll be nice uh big t is signed into my my tiktok right now i think he's posted a few things on there so now i get notifications on my phone that constantly every day it says uh real donald trump jr has just posted someone that you've interacted with before that's nice nice like that nice um all right last who's back huey

the WNBA. Yes. Yes. I mean, what a game last night. That was awesome. Well, explain to maybe some people who didn't watch it. I don't know who wouldn't. Uh, not me. I watched it. We, we had, uh, so for the, the all-star game format this year, we had, uh, team WNBA versus team USA. Oh, that's awesome. So yeah, a lot of, uh, Caitlin Clark, angel Reese got to play against team USA, uh, kind of, you know, a little, little revenge, kind of let them know. Did they win? Uh,

Team WNBA won by eight points. Wow. And really it was – That should have been for the chance to go to the Olympics. Yeah, they should just swap teams. Yeah. Yeah. And it really actually got closer towards the end. The WNBA was kind of in charge of that game for the most part. Team USA got a little closer, but –

It was impressive. The rookies did great. Hugh, I got two questions. Who won the three-point contest? It was the same girl. The same girl won the three-point contest and the skills contest. Who was it? Shout out to Mrs. Gray. Mrs. Gray. Like a teacher. My second question is, who won the slam dunk contest? There was none. Okay. So that's the kicker. Who balled that? That is the kicker.

Who balled out for the Team WNBA? So let's get in. I know the answer, and I want to see him say the name. Arike. Okay. That's the first name. Yep. And the last name. Give me a couple more minutes. Oh, boy. Do I have to? Yeah, you got it. Come on, you got it. Agulambanato.

You nailed it. Halfway there. Yeah. It's a doozy. It's a doozy, all right. But with that being said. Agun Bawali. Agun Bawali.

Arike Agunbowale. I think it's Erica, right? Nope. That one I know. Her brother plays for the Texans. Badger. Yeah. Yeah.

She played at Notre Dame. 34 points, six assists, a six from seven from the free throw line. Only not, you know, eight from 13 from three. And she should have been on the team. Very much should have been. She was actually like, Kaitlyn Clark was the one that everyone was saying, oh, she got, why not put her on the team? Arike should have been on the team. Yeah. She's, she's,

better than players on that team. I saw Caitlin Clark. She got picked up full court by, uh, by Kelsey plum, right? Yes. Yeah. Face guarding face guard and still got past her and threw a diamond. Yeah. The team USA like took it personally. It felt like a little bit more than the WNBA. They probably should have taken it more personally because they lost. Yeah.

Yeah, and Angel Reese had five offensive rebounds. I mean, she was a beast on the paint. Wait, so this means even if they win the Olympic gold, they're not the best team. Asterix. They literally lost. Now, isn't this the plot of Mighty Ducks 2? Yeah. Where they become the U.S. national team? Yeah, they should let them be the U.S. national team. I agree. Yeah. Okay, thank you, Huey. Good job. Okay, should we do our Mount Rushmore and then get to Aaron Rodgers? Let's do it. Mount Rushmore is brought to you by our friends at GameTime.com.

Max in first, 26. Big Cat, second, 25. PFT, third, 22. And Hank, 17. Okay, and who goes first? That'd be Max. And then who goes second? Me, PFT. And then who goes third? You. Okay. It's good that we know the order. The order confuses me every time. We get lost in the snake. Very stupid. It's a circle, though. I understand circle. I'm saying I always think when I go fourth, I'm going first the next time. But it's going fourth to third to second to first.

I don't know. I'm stupid. Okay. Mount Rushmore of animals you'd like to be... No pander picks. I don't even know if... I couldn't even think of what a pander pick would be. Well, I could think of one for you. Oh. No, I'm not going to pick it. Okay. I can't... They have to be real animals? Yes.

How are we... What? I want to pick dragon. I was watching House of Dragon as this was sent, and I was just thinking the whole time how sick it would be to be a dragon. I think it has to be a real animal. Yeah, Komodo dragon. Yeah, you could be a Komodo dragon. I don't even think that a dragon... I don't think that a dragon would be that cool.

What? If we're talking about House of Dragons. That's wrong. Come on. Terrible take. Now that makes you want to let it go. No, no, no. Hear me out. What's the mortality rate of dragons in Game of Thrones? I don't care. They all get their throats bit open. You're a massive fire-breathing beast that everyone fears. Fingers lift for like...

Like 300 years But then you've got this What about the one in the frozen lake? You've got like an incest guy with an eyepatch Riding you around Rubbing his incest balls all over you Yeah I think it would be pretty good It would be awesome to be a dragon It would be sick It's a tough take But also not a real animal Not a real animal But that would be a great pick You don't get any down time if you're a dragon

Yes, you do. Yeah, you do. You get so much downtime. Chilling your case. When you're locked in your prison and you're just pissed off the whole time. I mean, there's dragons. Before that happened, dragons lived free. They were just going around. A free dragon would be awesome. Doom of Valeria. Okay. Your pick. Okay. My pick will be Bald Eagle. Good pick. Add it on there. You can fly and everyone in America just loves you. Yeah. Bald Eagle. What about when your team loses a Super Bowl? Yeah.

Next pick. Okay. I'm going to go, this is my 1-1, Miss Peaches. I think Miss Peaches would be a great animal to be.

You just get all the most expensive shit bought for you. You just love Dave, huh? Very little oversight. You can destroy anything, not get in trouble for it. You want to sleep in the same bed as Dave every night? You want to sleep with Dave? You want to sleep with Dave? Miss Peaches has her own bed. No, she sleeps in Dave's bed. Oh, because that's her decision. You want to sleep with Dave. That's her decision. You're anti-Miss Peaches. Dave was right. No, I like Miss Peaches. No, Dave was right. I thought that pick, and then I thought it out. It was like, eh. The one thing with being Miss Peaches is...

Those dresses he puts Ms. Peaches in don't look comfortable. Ms. Peaches has an awesome A-plus life. The galas seem a little difficult. Yeah, you wear a dress once every 30 days. It's not that much different from my 2018 to 2020. That's true. That is true. Okay. Yeah, you want to sleep in Dave's bed. I want tummy tacks. I didn't know we were doing specific...

Yeah, I was doing breeds. Yeah, I was doing... We said... You asked before we started, right? Can we do specific animals? I wanted to be a dragon. Okay. So an animal. Okay. Which season? What?

All right, I'll just pick my one one. I would love to be just a great white shark and just fuck everything up and just be swimming so fast and just everyone's scared of you and you get so big and you're just an apex predator and it's awesome. Top of the food chain is pretty nice. Sick. You don't get to really sleep at all, though. Sleep is death. Yeah, I mean, but you get...

You don't have to sleep. You have to keep moving. That's awesome. Yeah. Not having to sleep is awesome. Maybe that's why they're so grumpy all the time. Are they? I think so. I haven't talked to a great white shark in a while. We should have one on the pod. Yeah. Greg Norman. Okay. I'm going. Come on, Hank. Let's go. Wait, you're in last place. I'm just trying to pump you up. I'm trying to pump you up. I'm going to go. I was saying, let's go. You got this.

Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank. You were such a sourpuss on Friday. You know what we're doing right now? We're doing the Trey Turner. It's a Hank. He's in a slump. Come on, Hank. Let's go. You got this. I'm going to go.

I won't do this. I won't do this to you, Hank. You got this, Hank. I know you can do it. I saw that you heard the click. I've seen you do it before. Okay. I'm going to go panther. Oh. Coolest looking animal, I think. Oh. King of the jungle. That's the lion. I know, but like, it's cooler than a lion. It should be king, yeah. And I will go with a blue whale. All right. Biggest animal. I knew you were going to go whale. Had to go whale. Had to go whale. Smartest animals, biggest animals, like...

No one's hunting you. You just get to cruise around, breach. Yep. Talk to your other whale friends. It's good. It's a good pick. It's a really good pick. You think blue whales are the smartest animal? I'm pretty sure they're up there, right? Yeah. Are they? They are up there. I think dolphins might be smarter, but whales are pretty fucking smart. Man, there's some really good animals on this list. I don't know what I want to do now.

You know what? I'll stick with just being apex predators. I will go with lion. I want to be a lion. Those things fucking rock. They just hang out. Okay. They eat whatever they want. Yeah. They just hang out all day. They look cool. Sleep.

I mean, it's like a cat's life is cool, but it's a cat. You don't even have to go. But a lion is like, that's a badass cat. If you're a male lion, you don't even have to work. Yeah. You just hang out. The ladies go out there. They hunt. They bring your food back for you. Every day is staking a blowjob day. And you got like your family hangs out with you. Yeah. You know, and as long as you don't have like a shithead brother that tries to kill you, you're good. Yeah. You know? Okay. Okay. Okay.

I'm going to go with racehorse. I've talked about it on the show before. What? What? I don't... We're wincing now? Have you... Let's keep going. Kentucky Derby winning racehorse is my official pick because you're done working.

You just get to have sex for hundreds of thousands of dollars every time you bone. They put you out in a pasture. You don't get that money. And you just hang out. It also... But that's your job. Racehorses have not been doing well recently. But the Kentucky Derby winning ones. Yeah, there's, I think, one of them. Which one, Doc? Are you taking us back to Barbaro? No. There's been some bad things that have been happening to racehorses that I would... I like racehorses.

It would be cool to be a racehorse. It feels like that's, if we're talking like life expectancy, all that stuff, it's been a little hit or miss. You got it on your sword at least. But I'm saying specifically Kentucky Derby winning racehorse is my pick. Okay. They've got a good track record. Okay. I'm going to go with a cheetah. Oh. Because I'm slow and it would be fun to be fast. That would be fun. It would be fun to be fast.

And I'm going to go off of the specific animal that PFT has started here, and I'm going to go with Ugga. Oh, good one. It's a good pick. That's a great pick. Although they talk life expectancy. But they're treated like kings everywhere. Yeah.

Each one. And everyone in Georgia absolutely loves you. It would be great to be Ugga. Not the current Ugga, but the last Ugga before this one. I forget what number it was. Roman numeral. That was the goat Ugga. Yeah. That Ugga had it together. Yeah. Okay. All right. Good picks. I'm going to get specific again. In the same vein as Max, college mascot, Mike the Tiger. Mike the Tiger's got a good life. Living in captivity. Oh, have you seen his pen? His pen rocks. Yeah.

His pin is like the size of the Pentagon. It's not that big. It's very cool, though. It's very cool. Plus, you get to live in Louisiana. You get to go roar in a stadium sometimes. Okay. It's pretty cool. Yeah. No, he does have a pretty big pen. Mike the Tiger's got a good life. Gets that meat when they play a different team. And they put the logo out. That's cool. That's a good pin. The meat's in the shape of the logo, and then you eat it. All right. I'm going to go off my list because we're getting a little... We're going specifics and everything. Yeah. Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes.

I would like to be Patrick Mahomes. What are you talking about? He's an animal. Does that count as an animal? No. Are humans not animals? No. PFT, are humans animals? Did titties make the list for meat? Are humans animals? No. Yes, they are. What are you talking about? Scientifically, they are.

They literally are animals. PFT, you know that. A human is an animal. Yes. If Big Cat wants to get cute with it, he can get cute with it. I should get dragons. What? An animal? We just said humans are it. I agree with that. If Big Cat gets Patrick Mahomes. You just said the Kentucky Derby horse. Yeah. I want to be Patrick Mahomes. You can say Kentucky Derby winning horse because that's a commonly accepted answer. But are humans animals? They are animals. Technically, they are. How am I? What am I doing wrong then? Humans are animals.

I guess. They are literally animals. We are animals. I think we let the voters decide. What do you mean? You guys have to decide. Memes is the one who actually has to decide. Well, I think you guys have to vote, and then if it's 2-2, then I decide. Well, I have no chance. I think it's... No, I mean, technically they're animals. I'm not going to... I don't think you knew that until right now. No, that's true. But I'm looking it up now. It's valid. Yeah, they are animals. Maybe against the spirit of the competition, but that's fine. If you want to...

They're animals. Technically, humans are animals. They are. And we said you want to be any animal. If you could pick any animal to be, Patrick Mahomes would be a pretty fucking sick animal to be. You could have been a bear. I could have been a bear. I want to be Patrick Mahomes. He's got three Super Bowls and probably a lot more coming. No, Patrick Mahomes could have been a bear, too. Yeah, he could have. Almost. All right, you guys let me keep it or no? Yeah, I'll let you keep it. I say I'll allow it, and we'll see what the voters say. Okay.

I will go... Wait, that's not your... Oh, it is your pick. Two, yeah, in a row. I got lost again. Fuck. I got lost again. Say Tom Brady. I'm going to go hippo. Okay. Good pick. I had it on my list. Probably the most gangster animal. Yeah. Just chill in the water. Just kill humans all the time. Fuck anything up. They're awesome. A hippo running in the waters is some of the coolest videos out there. Yep. And then I will go...

Australian shepherd dog. Oh, nice. I think a shepherd dog would be the best version of a dog. Like if you're actually a dog living on a farm and you just get to herd sheep all day, like that's a dog's dream. And that's like the best. That's a good dog. That's the best case scenario for your dog. Like you're literally just living on a farm. All you have to do is just run and wrangle up these sheep. That's a good dog. Pretty smart too. Yeah. Good dog. Fun. Yeah. When they run on top of them.

That's awesome. Those videos are awesome. All right, my last pick. I'm going to pick a pig...

In the Bahamas where the Instagram models come and take pictures with you. Pablo Escobar's pig? No, the ones in the Bahamas. You know them. The Instagram, the hot chicks. Yeah, yeah. But I think, weren't those around the islands that Pablo used to own? I have no idea. Maybe. Because I think they were in that Fyre Fest documentary. Yeah, they just get fed by Instagram models. Yeah. And they don't have to do anything but just swim around and get pictures with hot Instagram models. That's pretty good. And every now and then there'll be one that bites one of them. I wouldn't do that. That's pretty good. I would just hang out.

Hang out. Okay. For my last one, I'm torn between two here.

I'm going to go with giant panda. Giant panda is pretty good life. I love giant panda videos. I think they're actually the best ones to watch because they're just flopping around all the time, rolling down hills. Then someone has to take you and pick you up and bring you back up the hill. You don't have to worry about shit. You just hang out and you eat your bamboo leaves all day. Yep. That's a great pick. It's a great life. I had that on my list. They're the funniest animal. Yep. Yeah. They just hang out.

I'm really, really, really torn between two right now. Okay. I'm going to go with Grizzly Bear.

I'll go with the grizzly. Okay. Just big bear, scary. You don't even have to deal with winters. You just get to sleep through winter, which is sick. Yeah, the hybrid actually... But you miss football season. They also don't actually sleep the whole winter. You miss the Super Bowl. They just kind of... They're just laying in bed. They're just hungover. That's fine. You just get to chill. So you could have a TV on in your cave. Yeah. Yeah. Bear was on my list. I should have picked...

What was your other pick? It was a koala. I had koala on my list, too. I had sloth on my list. Just like sloth would be cool. Just out of vibes. Koala's cool. Great vibes. You're high all day because you're eating eucalyptus and it fucks you up.

Oh, you get STDs though? Not a drug bear. That's the downside is I think like 90% of koala bears have chlamydia. Yeah. All right. That's good to know. Yeah. I didn't know that. That would have been a downside. Downside. You just have an itchy dick. What other ones? I had a peregrine falcon, fastest animal alive. Yep. That'd be cool. That would be so sick. Yep. I thought that. I had a capybara. Capybara. I don't know how you pronounce it. Oh, they're like big rats. The big rats, but they're chill. They're like the chillest animals. An albatross. An albatross.

They just fly. That's just golf. No, they fly. You just did golf. No, they don't land. They'll just fly and never come down for years. You just did golf. No. They can fly hundreds of miles probably. They have big ass wings. I mean, it's a golf term too, but it's like- What do you think of when you say it? A two on a par five. Yeah.

They're sick animals, though. It's not like it's a coincidence, but albatrosses are sick. I think a wolf would be awesome. Wolves would be cool. A little bit endangered. I think being a penguin would be pretty sick, even though you could probably get eaten by an orca or something. But they do seem like they have a fucking awesome time all hanging out together. Yeah, they seem to have a good life. It's like they're all at a big music festival. Right.

Yeah, it's Bonnaroo every week. I had... We're just thinking of Happy Feet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course, of course. Happy Feet's definitely good. Hmm. Giraffe. Oh, monkey? Elephant, but like if they get hunted. Yeah, monkeys feel like they're the pranksters of the jungle. They're just having a great time. What kind of monkey were you talking about? I don't know, one in the jungle? Yeah, jungle monkey. I don't know what kinds there are. Rhesus monkey? Yeah, like the skinny...

Orangutan maybe? No, they're kind of... That's an ape? Yeah, they're too fat. I'm talking about the little guys that swing from tree to tree and they're always fucking with each other and hitting each other, building stuff. They look like they just have the best life. An island gorilla? Yeah.

Yep. But then sometimes... Gorilla's my 1-1. Gorilla's your 1-1? Even after Harambe? It's the closest to a person, you know? So you kind of know the shape you're getting into. You're in the middle of the jungle. No one's ever out there. You're with all your people all the time. You're just surrounded by, like, trees and woods and other gorillas. You're not...

Being hunted that much, I think. You might have to fight another gorilla and now it's suck. Yeah, but it's kind of fun. It's big, loud. It's monstrous. It's like the closest you're going to get to a wrestling match out there. Yeah, just boys will be boys. You know how to handle yourself. You got hands, you got feet. I don't hate it. What about kangaroo?

I think kangaroo would be fun too. Turtle? Turtle. One of the ones that lives forever? I think one of the ones in the Galapagos that lives like 160 years, yeah. Or the one from Finding Nemo that's just mad chill. Oh, yeah. That's a good turtle. Like Australian or was it like a surfer turtle? Still talking about real animals, Max. Yeah, we're doing real animals. Dragon. Dragon got snubbed.

Dolphin. Dolphin would be good. As long as you're not captured. Yeah, if you're in captivity. Same with a gorilla, by the way. If you get put in captivity if you're a gorilla, you might have somebody teaching you how to do sign language so you spend all day learning what emotions are. Yeah. You're like, you are sad now. Yeah, fuck, I'm sad. Wish I was in the jungle. Yeah. A house cat wouldn't be the worst.

You just basically get to be a dickhead all day. Yeah. And you live inside. Try to hurt people. Yeah, right. And they're like, here's your food again. And they're like, oh, that's so cute. You try to trip me going down the stairs and kill me again. Yeah. Take a baby soul. Yeah. What about would it be cool to be Commander Biden?

Basically no rules. No rules, but I feel like... Because if you think a sheepdog would have a great life, I feel like you do all that shit at the White House except with the Secret Service. Commander Biden tried to warn us about the Secret Service. Yeah. He did his part. I think Commander Biden would suck though because if you're a dog...

Being in a house where it's constant people coming, showing up would suck. That's why you bite. You want some alone time? Yeah. Like dogs don't really like when the doorbell rings. White house doorbells just ringing constantly. Yeah. That would drive you nuts. Sheepdog was a good pick. The, uh, I knew you could do it, Hank. Yeah. Ms. Peaches was a great pick. That will play. Do you have to sleep with Dave? But that will play. I also have an option of my own bed, which is probably Louie. Yeah.

It's probably Louie. Yeah. No, Miss Peaches has an incredible, incredible life. I agree. And when you go for walks, you can just get carried around in a wagon. You don't have to exercise. Yeah. Any others that we missed? I'm trying to think. Oh, Hank, a fox on a golf course. That'd be pretty sick. Like a cute little fox. Foxes, people don't fuck with foxes. They're right in that perfect zone where like you're kind of scared of a fox, but you're not like hunting it.

And I don't know. They can kind of be in regular world without getting fucked with too bad. Fox would be nice. I was thinking about if I was the animal with all the other animals, you just want to be the biggest animal. Yeah. Or the fastest. Yeah. Or strongest.

Kennedy Goose on a golf course. Pretty good. No one really fucks with you there. Yeah, you just have to be that. You're a miserable life. Yeah. Yeah, miserable life. This is a good Mount Rushmore. I liked it. Shout out Huey. He came up with this one. He's got a list for us. Way to go, Huey. Yeah, way to go, Huey. Thank you. Any other ones that we miss, Huey?

No, it feels good. All right. Feels good. Feels good. Okay. Let's do our interview with Aaron Rodgers. Great interview with Aaron Rodgers.

Let's kick it to it. We're going to get to Aaron Rodgers in a second. He's brought to you by Cars.com. We got the Cars.com employee parking spot of the month this month and went to White Sox Dave. Probably good he has his own parking spot, one that he can practice pulling in and out of, get some reps in so he's not banging into other cars in the parking lot. But thanks to Cars.com for setting that up. Well, the Cars.com parking spot is so helpful, not having to battle for a spot. The Cars.com Your Garage feature is probably even better.

I love how I can track my car's value. I can see how much it's going to be worth in two months. I've been thinking about getting something different maybe. Knowing my car's value is beyond helpful in making that decision. Since White Sox Dave has the Cars.com parking spot this week, they'll have plenty of time to create an account with Cars.com and track their car's value. White Sox Dave got the most prized parking spot at Barstool, but we can all grab some very valuable insights into our car's value with the Cars.com Your Garage feature.

The parking garage is frustrating, but Cars.com's new feature, Your Garage, is anything but. Track your car's value. You can know exactly what to expect when you're ready to sell. Track your car's value on Cars.com. Shout out to our great friends over at Cars.com. Aaron Rodgers is also brought to you by Proper 12. There's a horrible rumor going around that some people think that summer isn't the season for whiskey. It's a bad rumor. It's nasty. It's incorrect. It's not true.

Good thing we're here to correct the record. Let them know about the unofficially official drink of the summer, the proper PMT. That's P-M-T-E-A.

Grab a glass of your favorite iced tea, add one part proper, add a lemon slice, serve over some ice, and you've got yourself a drink so undeniably good it puts the rest of the so-called summer drinks to shame. The proper PMT works so well because it uses rich and smooth proper 12 Irish whiskey, an award-winning blend of golden grain, single malt aged four years, and bourbon barrels because anything else just wouldn't be proper. Do yourself a favor this summer.

Pick up some proper 12 Irish whiskey. Give the proper PMT a try. Check it out. And now here's Aaron Rodgers. Okay, we now welcome on a very, very... How many cameras do you need for this? Oh, I love it. Very, very, very special guest. Wait, you're probably recording it too, right? Yeah, you definitely are. You just hit record. It is our Chill Week interview presented by Coors Light and Chevy Silverado. It is my good friend... You have two different sponsors for this. Yes.

Hey, good friend. Not bad. Aaron Rodgers. Almost. Did you see how many berries I said for you? Last time I said a guest. It is Robbie. He's on TV. Robbie Gold's on TV. Listen, you and I are good friends now because you're out of my life. And I wanted to do this interview just to be like, thank you. You're out of my life. Let's start. But then the Bears lost to J-Love and the Packers twice last year.

I got some other issues I'm dealing with that are not – it doesn't pertain to you anymore. I got other issues. I'm working through that. Found a new love. We got a new quarterback. I'm going to figure out –

How are we feeling? Feeling good about Caleb and all the changes? DeAndre Swift and Keenan. You like him. You like Caleb. You think Caleb's a good quarterback. Yeah, I do. Yeah. I like Swift. I like Keenan. DJ. I like the receiver from Washington. Yeah. Rome. Oh, and then, of course, you still got DJ. Yeah, DJ. Yeah.

And Iberflues is looking good. I think the team is almost good enough to beat the Packers. You got out at the right time. Almost good enough. Come on. You got out at the right time. You knew that it was changing. So you're like, I got to get out of here. I don't know about that. So you can finish with your record. Who do they got on defense? Montez. Montez Sweat. Montez Sweat. Our secondary is pretty good. I like Edmonds. Edmonds is a good player. We're going to be. And I know that you're kind of. I think it'll be a close game with the Packers.

I don't like how you're doing this. Do you still take any pleasure when the Packers beat the Bears? Are you like, yes? I love it. But you're a Jet now. Once you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way. The West Side Story.

That's where you go. How's it going? You're dead all the way. You start singing and then you get into a street fight. Then you get in a fight. Yeah. All right, so how's the... A fight? Yeah, like knives. What's his name? Danny Trejo? Yeah. Oh, that was crazy. Maybe he's a little old for that. Once you hit the eights, did he stop fighting? Yeah, probably. He thought he had that throwback where he just was like, I'm going to throw the first punch and it'll be over. It's like, nope, that didn't work out.

How's the leg feeling? Yeah, it feels great. Thanks for caring. I do care. I know. I know. That's why I said thank you. I saw that video where everyone was freaking out in training camp where you were like, maybe you had like a blister or something. I had terrible blisters that day. So that was all it was, right? Yeah. Yeah, you're fine. Have you ever tried to even walk with blisters? It's tough. No, it's tough. And 41 is the new 25. I mean, I was a warrior out there just to get through an OTA practice. You know how many quarterbacks have thrown a pass at the age of 41? Yeah. How many?

I think it's nine. I think nine quarters. Like a bunch of guys have done it at 40, but not at 41. But you kind of skipped 40. I'm 40, yeah. Yeah. You're 41. I'm not 40. When did you turn 41? December. Oh, okay. Thanks for caring. So before the end of the season. We'll see when you get real nice gifts. Mid-40s. Really nice gifts. We're 39. Oh, nice. Thank you. People keep trying to say. Big year. Yeah. We're a day apart. Yeah, you're old. Yeah, 1985. Yeah. So, I mean, so you're feeling good. Yeah, feeling good. Obviously last year.

I want to ask one question that's difficult. It sucked how it started. Did you ever watch back the video of you with the American flag? Cause it was bad-ass. That was fun. Yeah. It was fun. Did you watch that? As somebody who's patriotic, who sings the national anthem? Yes. You have to respect that. It was, it was like a 9-11 coming out with the flag. One of those moments where you just, you're thankful you didn't do something real stupid right before that. I'm thinking my dumb ass, this is my 19th season. I've never run the field with anything. Right. Just run out there.

Do my low fives and move on. Right. That's an amateur move by you, by the way. Well, the problem is we're dealing with like trying to get a bunch of people to let us have space here. But I almost didn't run out there with it. Yeah? Really? I saw everybody took a – I thought it was going to be like a couple guys. Like the left tackle. The first guy introduced takes one out and maybe Garrett takes one out. So I'm like, no, I'm not going to do that.

Then I saw everybody take one. I was like, give me that thing. Yeah. Yeah. It was badass. It was awesome. One of the coolest moments of my career. The clip of like behind you. Other than beating 2013, the week 17 at Chicago. 2011. Chris Conte just, listen. He got lost. He got lost. Sometimes you get lost on the field. At what point in that play did you be like, he doesn't know where he is? It's not him. Major Wright had a penalty on the play. Right? It was a legal contact. They didn't call.

John Kuhn blocked Pep. You know, I had a great cut block. You had four on three on the backside you should have got home. But once I got out, I knew. It was the most wide open anyone's ever bet. I don't know about that. It was pretty close. It was pretty close. It was pretty, yeah. It was one of those moments like there's no way someone's standing down there. But you know why, right? Why? Because it's a zero blitz. Yeah, you got to get. Which means you're blitzing one more than you can protect. Right, you got to get home. The defenders play one move.

So he didn't think he'd have to cover for four seconds. Yeah. It's a Greg Williams special. Dr. Heat. You're a Jet now. Why are we talking about Packers-Bears? Who cares about that? You brought it up. I know. Who cares about that? You want to talk about the Jets? How close were you to playing last year? Well, if we'd been in the hunt, I was going to try and play. Yeah? Yeah. It healed that quick? What did you do to make it heal that fast? In 2014, I played in a small circle and I ripped my calf up a couple times. And it would have been like that. It would have been shotgun and pistol and...

no keepers, no hard action stuff. It just would have been kind of playing in a small circle. Yeah. When you sat down with your doctor, you're like, what kind of news can you give me that I can stay in the headlines for the entire year? Basically, yeah. That was mean of me. You're a Jedi. I like you. That's kind of...

Can we swear on this? Yeah, fuck, fuck, fuck. We got two sponsors here. Yeah, no, you can say whatever the fuck you want. Okay, good. Yeah. How was Egypt? Amazing. Yeah? Amazing. Did you see the pyramids? Yeah, all of them. Pyramids, temples. Did you find out anything about the world? Camels.

Yeah, I mean, you go out there, you think about the history of that place a little bit differently, I think. Yeah. Yeah, actually, I want to talk to you about Egypt because there's like a lot of different theories about what went on in ancient Egypt. Like civilizations that could have started there. Did you look into that? There's a lot of interesting things about it. I mean...

We did all the other temples in Aswan and Sohag and different places before. And they're like floor to ceiling hieroglyphs. It's weird. You go in the pyramids, there's nothing. No hieroglyphs, no nothing. Really? There's also never any bodies been found. They told us there was like burial chambers in Khufu, the main temple. The main room is the king's chamber and there's a queen's chamber. There's no bodies ever found.

There's no bodies found in Khafra, the second chamber, or second pyramid. So that's all very strange, I think. The fact that the stones came from a quarry, which is 300 miles away or whatever, is strange because those things weighed, you know,

20 to 50 tons, I think most of them. The weathering of the Sphinx. I'm more in the Graham Hancock camp as far as like that the age of those structures is much older than they tell us. Yeah, because that's like natural erosion on the Sphinx. It's something that would have taken place over like thousands and thousands and thousands of years. I'd like, I mean, he talks a lot about the younger Dryas and going back, you know, 10,800 years, I believe it is. And to me, that seems more in line. It's ancient. It's...

It's an interesting country. I mean, I wouldn't maybe recommend people going there in the summertime. It's like 120 in Aswan. They also might have OTAs. Yeah. But you could get excused for that. Yeah, some people could, yeah, I'm sure. Was that a problem? With what? Was it a problem that it was inexcused? Oh, I don't know. I mean, I'm sure I'll get fined for that. The thing that I think people don't understand is that when I was in the NFC North,

and playing for that team years ago, there used to be a real thing called mini camp where it was, you had one of them usually, sometimes it was right after the draft, but either way, it was five practices in three days, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. So two practices on Friday, two on Saturday, one on Sunday.

Now it's not mini camp. They can arbitrarily put a tag on whatever week of OTAs they want. So this is the mini camp week, which makes it somehow more mandatory than the other weeks. But it was an OTA schedule. That's how words can be a little deceiving from time to time. You can make a story out of the fact that I missed a mini camp when it was really two OTA days. Right. Interesting. That came to the first 10. Right. So this is a media thing. Yeah.

And you would never change the meaning of a word or deliberately tell people one thing. No, of course not. Right, exactly. I have your back. Well, I mean, you want to go into the etymology of words at this point? Yeah, no, I'd love that. I'm just saying I have your back. I'm your protector now.

I want you to have nothing but success with the Jets. Listen, if the Bears can't win a Super Bowl, you winning a Super Bowl for the Jets would make me happy. Okay. Seriously. Because then I could just be like, I kind of remember him as a Jet. That's what I'd tell everyone. And I could just erase 15 years out of my brain. I love that. And it would be great. All right, cool. And then would you go in the Hall of Fame as a Jet if you won two Super Bowls? Yeah. You went two in New York. You'd have to. You got to, I think.

Got to respect the ratings, right? You'd have to. Now I'm rooting for two. Yeah, now I'm rooting for two. That would be so mean. Is it a little different, like talking about the media, going to New York? Can you feel a difference between the New York media and the Green Bay media? I mean, it's hard to say. I mean, there's more beat writers in New York. You know, I've always felt like I had good relationships with, you know, a lot of the members in Green Bay, but...

It wasn't like they weren't. Media is media. They're trying to get a story. The worst. I don't know about that. There's a few good ones in there. Name one good person that owns a microphone. That owns a microphone? Yeah. Pat McAfee. That's true. We love Pat. And all his boys. That's a fact. He paid you to say that, though. Yeah.

I guess he did. Yeah, he definitely did. Exactly. You became like Mr. New York when you moved. I loved it. I had such a good time. That's why I was so heartbreaking to play fucking four plays. Yeah. You didn't complete a pass, though. I didn't throw a pick either. But maybe you were going to have a bad season. Think about that. Maybe you were never going to complete a pass that season. Imagine that. That's true. That might have saved you. That would have been wild. Aaron Rodgers is – we're in week 10, and Aaron Rodgers has yet to complete a pass.

What are you saying? I'm just saying, I'm using a spin zone. I like how positive you're spinning all this stuff. It might have been a good thing. It might have been. You just got to recalibrate that whole experience. It's like it's a blessing sometimes. I'm sure you learned some things during the season not being able to play. A lot, yeah. Being on the headset and listening to...

All the crazy things that get said on there. Yeah. Wow. Nathaniel Hackett making a lot of like gold member references? Not many, a few from time to time. There weren't a lot of things to be excited about. Our red zone percentage was pretty low in our points per game and other things. Yeah. Where do you live in New York? Do you live in New Jersey? Yeah, nobody lives in New York. Yeah, you can't live in New York. If you're a Giant, you can.

But still, I don't know why you would, just because of the traffic into a tunnel and all of our stuff. I joke about, I know that the stadium used to be on Long Island, but we're the New Jersey Jets. Yeah. Yeah.

So are the Giants. Yeah. The Giants play New Jersey. There's only one team that plays New York. Yeah. It's the Buffalo Bills. Bills Mafia. Yeah. Bills Mafia. You guys, I mean, the Jets, people forget the Jets won week one, right? Yeah, I'm 1-0 as a starter. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. That's also a great point. Yeah. Highest winning percentage ever for the Jets. Jets legend. You've never lost. I'm salty about, you know, like the 13 game against the

Chicago, we were ahead 3-0 when McClellan landed on me. He was just making a football play. Yeah. That was just a goal. But I got the L for that. Yeah. I was out of the game. We're ahead. I celebrated that so hard. Was that the one where you – Why do you celebrate people – Because you ruined my life. It's like he's hurt. He's done. He's never coming back. Yeah.

And then every time you get hurt, I mean, remember week one? Now you've caught me in the trap. Week one when you were – when the Bears – when Khalil Mack debuted and it was like, this is awesome and the Bears are awesome. My favorite all-time quarterback. And Rodgers is hurt. Oh, yeah. That was fun. That was a good comeback. I knew we were going to win that one.

My favorite all-time clip that I've seen has got to be you at the Detroit game. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I was literally doing it as a support thing for Detroit Don and Superfan. I was there for the MAAC championship, which was Friday night, and I was like, let's just go to this game and root against Rodgers. Found their tickets, got a seat next to them. I was like, I'm here for your support. Like, fuck this guy. Let's beat them. And then it's Hail Mary right in their face.

And the way they were talking before, and I do the same thing. Crazy. But Detroit Don was saying that he did the calculations, and he's like, once we win this game, there's like an 80% chance we're going to the playoffs. And I think the Lions were like 5-6 or something. So you just crushed everything, man. Yeah, what was it? We were 6-3, and they were –

Four and five. Four and five, yeah. Three and six. Yeah, and he's like, once we win this game, because it was like mid-third quarter, they're like, I've done the calculations. We're going to win this game. They're going to win next week. I was like, all right. Sounds like a Bears fan. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I sat there and I was like, yeah, go guys. You guys always feel good about your team, though. Every year. Every year. Every year. It's like, this is our year. No, that's what football is about. Jets fans feel the same way. Trestman maybe. The second year of Trestman got a little not great. And John Fox, it was not. Who's your favorite all-time Bears quarterback?

I mean, it's Jay. It's actually Kyle Orton, but Jay as well. I love Kyle Orton. I think Kyle Orton, like, Kyle Orton doesn't get enough credit for, like, dude got the ball out fast. You know Kyle beat me on three different teams? No way. Chicago. Yeah. Yeah.

He ended our 19-game win streak in 2011 when he was in Kansas City. Yeah. And 14, he was in Buffalo. Yeah, remember when he just retired? He just drove away. He was like, I'm done. Yeah, he's just like – You ever gone out with him? No, but I watch him so bad. He's a great dude. He's just a dude's dude. Yeah, like when he just – He's a guy's guy. Like BFT said, he just – he told the media, he was like, yeah, I got to go get something from my car. He just never came back. Really? Week 18 – or week 17 then –

The season ended, and he hadn't said if he was going to retire or not. And they're like, hey, Kyle, we have a couple questions after the game. And he's like, yeah, let me just grab something out of my truck. Drove off, retired, never came back. I love that. Pretty sick, isn't it? That's incredible. I know. That's Kyle Orton. That's the best way to retire. It's like low-key, but it also makes people respect you more afterwards. Barry Sanders did something like that. I feel like Calvin Johnson didn't have a big deal. Yeah. He just went off. Are you going to do that? Yeah, Jay. Yeah. He was on the Dolphins. Yeah, I was on the Dolphins.

He had a couple moments. That was like a quiet quitting. You go down to Miami for a little bit, just chill out. That's a thing now, right? Yeah. That's a young person. Adam Gates paid him like $10 million. No, the quiet quitting part. Yeah. Hank quiet quit like three years ago. Yeah. But he's still around. He just slowly quiet quit. So what do you think about the Jets this year? I always like our chances. You sound like a Bears fan. Yeah. Jets fans are...

as tormented as Bears fans. Yeah, I would say so. It's a different level of torment? Yeah, because the Bears have been in the playoffs at least once in the last 13 years. Right. But it's kind of the same like what you did to Chicago. That's what Tom Brady did to New York. And now you're just traveling around just trying to continue that hatred.

Of what? Well, now you're trying to take over Boston, but you stole Big Cat's joy. You stole Big Cat's joy for like a decade. You made him significantly less happy. Yeah. We always say that that's like the next level of athlete if you become the thief of joy. Like Mahomes has reached that level where, you know, like if you're a Bills fan or you're a Niners fan, you're like, this guy has just ruined it for me.

You did that to me. That's the elite quarterback, then thief of joy above that. Well, thank you. Yeah, you hit that. You definitely hit that.

I appreciate that. Portnoy's got to be riding kind of high right now, right? Why? Because he's got a dog that's like a billionaire? Yeah, that and the Celtics. Oh, yeah. He's happy about that. Hank was on the duck boat with Joe Mazzulla, the coach of the Celtics. What was that? He personally invited him. Yeah, Coach was pouring beer on Hank's head. It was great. He basically won a championship.

That's pretty insane. That's your ring? Yeah. It's like Kramer going to the Tonys. Yeah. No, that was essentially what it was. He just got ushered off, and he's like, I'm just part of the Celtics now. All right, so when does training camp start? 23rd. Okay, and you'll be there? Yeah, probably. Unless you have to go. I might have a trip planned. We'll make a clip of that. Just say, yeah, probably. Probably. That will be a great headline that will make a lot of people upset. Where on earth could you go that would make you miss the start of training camp?

I mean, anywhere. What do you mean? Is there a place where it's like, this is, I would, yeah, I'd skip work to go to Mongolia. Oh, Mongolia, yeah. Well, how much does training camp suck? Like it has to, if you've been in the league for a really long time, it's like, I know what to do. It's a different suck. Back when football was hard, a long time ago, when there's real double days, physically it was the worst.

But mentally, I don't feel like it was as bad. Physically, now it's all mental. You're sitting around all day long in interesting meetings. In the hot days, yeah. And the practice is short. It's not even that hard. Yeah. And you don't play in preseason. We used to play in preseason. Right. We'd play 15 plays, then a quarter and a half, then into the third quarter. Yeah. Now, you don't even play in the preseason. You should play in the preseason this year. Why? Why?

Why not? Just make football hard again. Aaron Rodgers is making football hard again. Don't steal that. That's mine. All right. We'll print the shirt. Just also make America hard again. That would be good, too. Let's get tougher as a country. Yeah, let's get tougher. Let's get that callous built up. You should run for office. You should run for president. I think you set your sights too low. I agree. Yeah. I agree. You're not a backup quarterback. How close were you to actually running for vice president? I know you were thinking about it. Yeah, I thought about it.

And I just kept on living my life. Yeah? Was football the main factor in that equation? Yeah, I think so. Yeah? So wait, you love football more than you love America then? Oh, he got you there. That's true. He got you there. That's tough.

I support the troops. Yeah. Okay. That's good. Wait, so where's next for you to travel? What's the spot you got on the... I'm not telling. Come on. No, I'm not telling. Can I give you a rec? Yeah, please. I feel like you would love the Galapagos. Ooh, nice. Love it. What about it? All the nature out there. Yeah. And then, and this is serious, it's just like a two-hour boat ride, Ayahuasca. Oh, wow. Ecuador. Where? Where?

Ecuador. Nice. Yeah, but no, the Galapagos is great. You got the giant tortoises. They weigh like 400 pounds. They look like dinosaurs. Can you ride them? You can try. I'll give you a tip. The Sphere in Vegas. Oh. It's fucking sick, dude. Is it really? It's so sick. What did you see there? I saw Dead & Company. Two nights in a row. It was awesome. Just Saturday? They've been there for like a month and a half. It was like three weeks ago.

Don't you love that they had a last tour last year around this time? My wife has been giving me shit for it for the last five years because every year I'm just like... How many dead shows have you been to? Are you a big deadhead? Yeah, I am. I don't know, probably over 30, but... How many performance enhancers are you on during a dead show? A lot, a lot. I ate a lot of mushrooms in the sphere, which I probably didn't need to. Chocolate or actual mushrooms? Chocolate, yeah, chocolate. That's kind of amateur hour. Oh, you think so? I'm not 22 anymore.

I mean, I'm not like, yeah. 22 is for the chocolates. No, 22 is when I would eat the caps. And? And now I've graduated and I'm just like. Now you're mature, you're doing the chocolate. Mature to the chocolate. Like a mature adult. Yeah. But wait, what's that? Get it in a store. It's like you could buy drugs in a store now. It's the same thing, right? Yeah, it is. No, it's not. What's different? Well, I definitely trip more when I ate the caps. Well, first of all, what's in the chocolate? Mushrooms. Chocolate. Chocolate.

And mushrooms. What other? It's chocolate and mushrooms. Cocoa. Chocolate. And chocolate. Okay. And sugar. Probably some like mini plastics and stuff. Maybe. Maybe a vaccine. Who knows? Could be. You never know.

Did you enjoy the debate? I loved the debate. It was fantastic. Great TV. That made me fall in love with America. I was like, we got the two best guys for the job. I'm happy about that. Sure. When they started talking about golf, Trump just actually said recently, a million dollars he would give Joe 10 strokes aside. 20. In a tie. Yeah, 10 strokes aside. Thank you for recommending it. We were saying that, my fault, Biden already lost because you can't take that.

You can't take that. Even if you lose by 18, you technically win the bet, but then what? You won the bet because you didn't lose by 20? Yeah. My favorite part about it that kind of got under the radar was that he –

Biden's like, get him, whereas you got to carry your own bag. He's the guy who couldn't even walk off the stage. He couldn't even walk off the stage, but yeah, you got to carry your own bag. I love it. Just two old guys yelling at each other about golf. That's America. I say get him in singlets, let him wrestle it out. Yeah. We were saying do frisbee golf, but no one else is allowed out there, and they just both break their hips in the woods. Yeah.

You don't bother us anymore. Because it is crazy that the best we can do as a country is two guys 75 and plus. No, I know I'm saying it's not the best, but it's the current options, which is nuts to me. I just can't believe we can't have like an election day that's a national holiday. It takes weeks to count all these votes.

That makes no sense to me. Make election day and the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday holidays. That's it. It should be a holiday for election day. You should run. What are we doing? You could be my vice president. I would, yeah. On election day, there should also be football. Tuesday night football. Oh, yeah. No.

Yeah, there should. Yeah, there should. Yeah, it's something to distract us. Isn't that the old Romans, right? Like bread and circus? Yeah, bread and circus. We had that for sure. You just feed them with food? How often do you guys think about the Roman Empire? Almost never, actually. Only when somebody asks me that question. I think I think of World War II a lot more. Yeah, all the time. That feels like it was... I understood the meme. How come? I don't know. I just... You like just dropping the bombs or... It's just the whole thing is just fascinating. Good versus evil? Yeah. Yeah.

It's like really the only war that was good versus evil. We were the good guys? We were the good guys in World War II. We saved the world. We're always good guys. Care to debate that? Team America, World Police. Yeah. Great movie. We flexed our industrial might all over the place. We were building ships that we didn't even need. Have you read about that? Yeah. In Japan, we had an ice cream ship. I'm not joking. An ice cream ship? We had such a better production. Who the fuck are we? Us. Us.

Our industry was so far advanced, Japan was fighting with old wooden ships, and we had an ice cream ship that just made ice cream and just gave it to all of our other ships. Nice. I love that. That's badass. It is. It's great that we can talk about World War II. I was in the war, yeah. I was a difficult child in the war. I served. Long days, long nights. Yeah.

What are you doing? Feeding ice cream. Yeah, I work the soft serve. I think about the JFK assassination way more than any of those other things. That one too, yep. There's some weird shit that came out about that recently. You think so? Well, yeah, the Secret Service agent, he said he's the one that put that bullet on the gurney.

Well, yeah, that's obvious. And he said that he found it in the back of the limo, meaning it was like one of the deflection shots. It wasn't the magic bullet that they said that it was. What a great bullet that was. Yeah, well, they said. I mean, how can. It's like your pass in Dallas that was not real. That one on the sideline.

Yeah, it kind of curved back. Don't equate a fake magic bullet theory with me hitting a dime on the sidelines. It both happened in Dallas. Jared Cook, you mean? It was Jared Cook on the sideline. The one that was like, it was a magic bullet. You basically assassinated JFK. Where were you in November of 1963? Better ask former head of the CIA where he was at. Yeah, George Bush. That's what I think about too. Before that.

There's another? He was also served on the Warren Commission. Right. He also has an airport named after him in Washington. Are you talking about Dulles? Yeah. Yeah, Dulles, bad guy, but also George Bush, old George Bush. H. George H.W. Bush. He was director of the CIA. He didn't know. He couldn't remember where he was when Kennedy got shot. Yeah, well, you go even back in that family, even farther back. Yeah. Some other stuff. Yeah, there is. Prescott Bushes. I read 10 pages of a book about it.

Hey, congrats. Yeah, I bought the book. It's about the bushes and I 10 pages. Last time I saw you, you got lean. You're a big reader now. You're positive. Do you meditate? What do you meditate? Yeah, we're friends now. It's awesome. What, uh, when we had sex with a woman, I have three kids. I have three kids. Yes. Three children. So I've proof three times. Do you remember their names? I remember all their names. I don't say their names. Why not? Yeah. I don't say, cause I, I think that,

This is real talk. I hate people who exploit their children online. Like David Bakhtiari? Does he do that? I don't know. That was wild for you to throw that out there if he doesn't do that. I think it's hard enough. I thought that's where he was going. No, I think it's hard enough to be a kid in today's day and age that if you –

You're in high school and it's like, oh, my parents have been making videos of me my entire childhood and posting it. That is insane to me. I agree. Let a kid be a kid. Yeah. So I protect their privacy a lot. But I'll tell you after. Okay, cool. Yeah. I might not care after. No, you probably won't. Well, here's a question for you. When we text, do you love the power that you have over me and hold over me? I do. Yeah, because you just don't respond for months.

And then you'll give me one response and then I'll do a, like a followup instantly. Cause I'm like, I know he's looking at his phone right now. And then you'll go another four months. Yeah. It's just the way it goes sometimes. Yeah. And I know I'm sitting there like he's fucking doing this and he's fucking with me and there's nothing I can do every now and then I get a good chuckle. God damn it. God damn it. This motherfucker's looking at his phone right now. Yeah. Yeah.

Not going to text you. I even pulled out the trick with Bakhtiari. Yeah. Where I texted Bakhtiari and you pretending that you weren't on the text chain. I thought that was going to get you and it didn't. No. Yeah.

Amateur, Al. You should respond and then quickly delete it. Unsend the message. So he gets a notification that you sent him something. Can't you still see the deleted message, though? I don't know. You can edit a message. I know. I got that part. You could edit it instantly. Just figure that out. Yeah. Yeah, it's just like blank. Comes in handy. Do you have any burner accounts?

What is that? Burner counts? That's a yes. How many burner counts do you have? I feel like you're heavy in the replies of Elon. Yeah. Tremendous gambit. Elon, your Tesla's so sick. No. Wasn't there some athletes who supposedly had... Kevin Durant. He got exposed for it.

Really? But he, I kind of liked he, he, he's somewhat cop to it. I don't really do any social media, honestly. I don't, I mean like it's super minimal, like posting stuff super rarely on Instagram, only on Twitter. If I have to put out a major fire. So where do you go for your info? Oh, good question. Just info wars. Alex Jones.

They're about to take that away from Alex. Yeah. I don't know. Twitter, I think it's. Yeah, you just read the comments on posts. That's where you get all your info. On what? Like, you see a tweet and you just read all the people who are experts underneath responding. Oh, the day that bridge in Baltimore went down, I learned so much about how it was a distraction from Puff Daddy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They brought the bridge down because P. Diddy got his house raided. Yeah, of course. Makes total sense. Yeah, absolutely. It all starts coming together. Yeah. Memes, you got a question for Aaron? Yeah.

As many as you want. He defends you hardcore. Against who? He thinks that the media has it out for you and the Jets. They definitely do. He thinks everyone's a Florio walking around. He ranked his Florio. What is it? Mike Florio's number one Florio. That's one of the questions. Diana Rossini's number two Florio and Matt Miller's number three Florio. I don't even know who that is.

Well, he does. Memes does. He's in the weeds for you. Yeah. I was going to say, do you ever see any of the hater-ass media like Mike Florio? Good question, Memes. I don't. I don't. Now, I've gotten a couple of texts from the other Diana. Yeah.

but i'd never respond she is she's a friend of ours oh really very very strong reporting yeah oh yeah okay decent reporting yeah uh how are you feeling how's the arm how's the leg you look strong yeah leg is good blisters are gone that's good i feel great yeah running fast you also another question i think you guys do is you look strong oh thank you you do look very strong thanks it's just a beautiful man

Do you think the NFL scheduled the 49ers game on Monday Night Football on purpose? I hope so. Because it's on grass. Yeah. But... I never say no to grass. But you... You versus the 49ers...

It's not me versus the Jets versus the 49ers, bro. But you versus the 49ers. You've got a 49ers problem. Why? You know why. You know exactly why. What do you mean? They own you. You beat them last time we played there. No, they own you. Last time we played there, we beat them. The 49ers own you. That's a fact. The 49ers, I've done the meme. What the fuck team are you on now? You're jumping ship back again. It's true. It's true. I strike it from the record. I strike it from the record. I strike it from the record. The 49ers used to own you. Sorry.

Will a couple of missed practices have any effect on the season? Yeah. Big effect. I'm nice at practices. Thank you. OTA practices. Yeah. But you were there for voluntary. It's fine. Yeah. Bunch of haters. This one was just, do you want to hang out? Yeah. Yeah. All right.

You win the Super Bowl, Memes gets to ride up front with you. Yeah, Memes gets the treatment, yeah. Yes. Okay, deal. Will we get to see you for more than five snaps this season? Yeah, I think so. Okay. Cool. Good question, Memes. And that was it. Great one. Hey, thanks. Good job, man. Nice. Good job, Memes. That was Memes' first time. That's strong. He's good with memes. He's a memes guy. He lives on the internet. Guy behind the guy. Yeah, right. Exactly. Are we in phase me right now? I don't know what that means. You know what phase me is? No.

Robert Salah. Oh, phase me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, probably. I guess. Yeah. You don't know. You don't really know what phase me is though. I don't know. Not really. I'm doing it right now. Yeah. Yeah. This is actually a great example of phase me. Yeah. Yeah. How's your golf game? Are you going to win this thing this week? No.

My game's not that good. What's your handicap? I don't know. It doesn't matter. This is no handicaps either. I know, but what are you usually golfing? I mean, I'll be in the 70s probably. Okay. That's pretty damn good. This course, I own this course. You own this course? It's like Soldier Field. Oh, come on. What are you doing now?

We were 49ers. Own your ass. It was a little bit off. Yeah, all right. All right. Put our guns down. Let's put our guns down. Isn't it embarrassing you got to go to another team to say anything? No, no embarrassment whatsoever. I made the meme with the little kid laying in bed and like the missiles coming and it's the 49ers standing there taking all the missiles and guarding me at night. Really? Yeah.

That's good, man. I have no problem. Isn't that the defensive end from last year from the Bills? He's on the Niners too, right? Is he really? Yeah, same guy. Who? Who was it? Leonard Floyd? He's on the Niners. He's on the Niners. He is a pair for life. Monday Night Football.

Starting the season out, same guy. I'm going to have to sweet talk him a little bit. Yeah. Pay him off? Just tell him. That's a Brett Favre method. Let me get through play five. Yeah. Wait, what's the strength of your golf game? Short game. Yeah? Yeah, putting. Oh, putting? Yeah. Not like – Chipping's decent, but putting. How long are you? Long. Real long? Yeah. Okay, nice. I mean, I saw your tee shot. It wasn't that great. Okay. Which one? The one that went way far off to the right.

- What hole? - Like your politics? - It was 10. - It was 10, yeah. - It did go far right. - I love when people try and cancel me. When I played golf with Obama, I was like the leftist, other right try to cancel me. - Just put you in a box. - Then I was on Team Kennedy, so everybody tried to cancel me politically.

And then I didn't shake Trump's hand, so the right tried to get after me again. You're your own man. I realized I actually had shaken his hand. Yeah, and then they reversed course. They tried to reverse course a little bit. People are unfair to Aaron Rodgers. I've always been consistent with you. Oh, I don't care about that. Politics, I've said from the beginning, is an absolute sham. Yeah. And if we've seen anything...

whether it's you talking about what they did to Bernie Sanders in 2016 that we saw in a Podesta emails or the fact that nothing really ever changes. Nothing changes. All they do is just talk about what they're going to do and then nothing. Life doesn't actually get better for any of us, whether it's a Republican or Democrat. And we're still just doing the same fucking two party system and not letting Bobby get in or anybody else. Yeah. PFT and I always said, if you want to be president, you should be disqualified.

I like that. Yeah. You're just basically an egomaniac. You have to be a psycho to want to be president and to actually follow through on that. But just some common sense politics, some common sense, like let's not let anybody over 75. The Packers have a rule. Yeah. 70, you got to retire. Yeah.

Right? Yeah. You go into a board of meritists, at 70 you got to retire. Yeah. That seems to make pretty good sense. You know what they used to do in ancient Greece was they had this thing called sortition. Where they chopped their nuts off? No, they probably did that back then too. Yeah. But it was more along the lines of like a lottery to see who was going to be the mayor or the governor. And so it could be anybody. Mm-hmm.

Like they just randomly gave to somebody, which is kind of terrifying because there's a lot of weirdos out there, but at the same time, it made them really focus on their education system because like any of these psychos could end up being president. How about term limits? Yeah. Yeah. How about you can't insider trade? I love it. Dave's jumped on the one board with that. He had those apps that track like you can track Nancy Pelosi's. Yeah. She's a hell of a stock trader. It's crazy. I don't know what Davey's doing. I don't know what Davey day traders doing. He should be fucking following the old Nancy. Yeah. Yeah.

It's insane. I agree with you. It's embarrassing for our country. And it's also embarrassing, like, I know we're getting deep into it, but it's embarrassing that people can't, there's no one who can just have, like, the common sense approach that, like, don't, not everything has to be one or the other. There's a lot of middle that no one ever, like, acknowledges. But the problem is the loudest people is the 10%.

Right. And there's 5% on both sides. Yeah. The most of the country you travel around the country, you guys do all the time. Regular guys. Great people. Right. Who don't, you just want to kind of be left alone. They want their freedoms. They want to be told what to do with their bodies. They don't want to be fucking taxed at a crazy percentage. Yeah.

You know, and they're not looking for a bunch of handouts. They just want to be happy. They just want to be kind of happy and left alone for the most part. Yeah. I think standout politics is probably a good choice just because you have to answer for everything. It's like when that article came out about Bobby where it's like he's got a barbecued dog behind him, there would have been people like asking you like, do you support eating dogs? And you'd have to say, I do not support eating dogs. And they'd be like, why are you even addressing this? Well, they're scared of people they can't control. True.

That is a fact. That is a confirmed fact. The media in general is scared of people that can't control. Yeah. Which you're kind of – That's why, you know, to talk about your company, you know, like that's why those bullshit articles would come out when the earnings – Earnings every time. Yeah. Every single time. Why? Because Dave and you guys built this brand that can't be controlled. Right. That we don't have – And then you try and get after them. You don't have –

women part and oh no no we have one woman ceo or this thing or that thing it's just like people that they they can't truly control are dangerous people they've hopped on every single uh like angle to try to take us down throughout the years it's literally just gone from like one thing to the next and it's just like all right we're still here it's so it's i would say the majority of them too are so unethical yeah oh yeah like the practice is now

It's just a fucking joke. And that's politics. There's bias in all of it. Right. Which should be... And then to get back to the core of what the hell is going on right now, we have a guy who's been, you know, whether rightly or wrongly, a kangaroo court or whatever, been indicted on felonies, and a guy who's shitting his pants. That's pretty good. And then we got Bobby.

Who doesn't give a chance to even be in debates. Yeah. And if you know the insides about how ridiculous it is for a third-party candidate to get on the ballots in 50 states, it's a fucking sham. Yeah. It's certain colors in some states. It's certain people you've got to submit it to in other states. It's a certain amount of votes in certain states. It's a fucking joke. I feel like it used to be easier back in the day. Ross Perot was always running. Yeah, no, he was a real, he was on the debate stage when we were kids. Yeah. No, it's crazy. It's crazy. So football. Yeah. Who do you like this year? I like us.

The Jets? Yeah. And who? You got to play somebody in the Super Bowl. Bears. Not the Bears. Yeah, because that would ruin you. Why? Oh, no. That'd be a great way to go out, wouldn't it be? I actually don't know if I'd be able to handle that game because there would just be so much at stake. That would ruin you. It would ruin me. Yeah.

That would ruin me. I would be surprised if the Bears were there. That's not a disrespectful thing to say, but like... I would too. I would be surprised as well. The NFC is tough, and you have a rookie quarterback. Yeah. I think he could do it. Yeah. I think they surround him with a lot of really good pieces. Yeah. But I think in their division...

On paper, can you not say that they're not – you can't say they're better than third on paper in the division? I think I would say that objectively. I can. I can say whatever I want. Objectively. Yeah. Objectively. You think that they're better on paper than Detroit and Green Bay? I think they're better than Green Bay. Paper? Really? On paper. Paper? We're talking about on paper. We're talking about paper? Paper?

I don't know what paper you're using in Chicago. We're talking about paper. Zigzag. Tainted by that fucking river. No, I'd agree with you. Listen, we're unproven. How much time do we have? We're done in a second. We're unproven. We're unproven, but I love that Ryan Poles has – it feels like they've built the team. You're a big Ryan Poles fan. Huge Ryan Poles fan. Even though he shined you.

You guys were doing a let's FaceTime the person on the phone you want to FaceTime and see who picks up, and I fucking picked up. Back to Ari, I was like, yeah, I was like, let's FaceTime Rodgers because we're going to be in Tahoe. Try to get him on. He's like, no problem. He's like, but you have to FaceTime Poles and just say that you're with me. He didn't want a job with the Bears, but I was like, I want to watch you try to get me on the Bears, and Poles didn't pick up.

So, yeah, that sucked. He kind of did what you do to me. All right, last question because I know you've got to go. Rollback question, R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com. We're wearing it right now. Rollback polos. They've got Q-Zips, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Rollback.com, promo code TAKE. 20% off your first purchase. Rollback.com. Aaron Rodgers. That was good. That was nice. Thank you. You've done that before. I've been doing this. Wow. 41 years old. 40.

Guy told me I looked 32 yesterday. I don't know what he was smoking, but I liked it. Yeah, he was fine. Then did he say, can I have your autograph? No, he didn't. Oh, okay. That's awesome that you just remembered that and you just brought it out. I've been in the league 20 years. Yeah. You're a quarterback when you're 12. Which is also the funny part when people are like, did you play against Steve Young and John Elway? I was in high school when they retired. Yeah, yeah.

Thanks. All right, but speaking of that, how many more years? I don't know. I'm not sure. This one for sure. This one for sure. I'd like to do – I wanted to do two good ones to give us a chance to retire a jet, you know, win two Super Bowls. Yep, yep. And then do the Kyle Orton.

Yeah. Is that how you retire? Legend, of course. It's like take a sip of psychedelic tea and just disappear in the locker room. Just fade away. It's all an illusion. Rainbow body. Was it Heron Rogers ever real? Yeah. I'll be happy to say no. This is a simulation. Right, exactly. No, you're right. You're right about that. I think it actually is a simulation. Yeah? It's got to be, right? I don't know. Mathematically? Think about it. Mathematically, what type of math? Terrence Howard math? Terrence Howard math. One times one is two.

Do you know math? Yeah. Is it weird that you went to Cal? Yeah. That is weird. Yeah. What's eight times five? I don't know. Do you know calculus? Not really. I wasn't good at calculus. Never been in the same room as calculus. Algebra, geometry. Yeah.

Me and calculus have never met. I don't even... How many people are using calculus today? Show of hands. Nobody. They've got calculators. This is not exactly the greatest... It's a swath of the population here. We are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to that shit. But still, none of us. Yeah, none of us. That's true. They have machines that can do that. You've got calculators. You've got computers. Yeah. Exactly. What are we doing? What happens when AI takes over, though? Bad. Yeah. I actually think we're...

We're probably the only ones that are safe. You probably are fucked. How come? I don't know if AI is going to be able to. Taking the strong ones out to start? No, they're just going to be. Yeah, that might be true. Can AI do a podcast? Yeah. No, I don't think so. I don't think so. Can AI play quarterback? Yes. Yeah? Probably. Can AI drink ayahuasca?

- Good point. - You could probably code ayahuasca somehow. The virus. - Good point. So we're all safe. - Yeah, we're good. - These guys are all fucked. - Yeah, no chance. - 'Cause they're editing and everything, that's all AI. - Good thing about us, I feel like we're too dumb to have AI take our job. Like you can't train AI to be this stupid. - Right, it would break. - Really? - Yeah. - Right. - I don't know about that. - How do you say to AI, like intentionally fuck up facts all the time? - Just like program it with like, I don't know, the current state of our politics, intelligence level. - Okay, okay.

Yeah, or just use our brains. Maybe they were the model for the dummy. Are you smarter than Joe Biden or not? I would say yes at this point. Really? Yeah, I would say so, probably. Probably, yeah. I haven't shit my pants in, I think it's been a year and a half. It's been about six months for me. That's good. Which is pretty good. That's good, yeah. I'm definitely not smarter than Hunter. That guy rocks.

I don't sniff any hair. He's figured a lot of stuff out. Yeah. Painting, how to make money painting. Yeah. I would like to party with Hunter, I think, for one night. Maybe six hours. Six hours with Hunter. Yeah, and I'm just like, I gotta go home. Yeah, get out of his life. There's some gerbils in there or something? Yeah. Um...

Aaron, this has been awesome. Hey, thanks, guys. I'm a big fan of yours. Yeah, well, you said 10. It's been about an hour. We're going to cut this, right? We're going to cut it? Yeah. Hey, thanks, guys. It's good to see you. Good to see you, too. We're friends now. At least a man of my word. You are. It took a lot to get the word out, but yes. That I would do this. That's a fact. You are a man of your word. So I'm turning over a new leaf. You put me through hell to get it, but you're a man of your word. And look at us now. Yeah, and I'm rooting for you.

What? Look at us. Who would have ever thought that we would be friends? Yeah. We're friends. This is our second time we've done this. Yeah. On the third date, you guys got to go all the way. Interesting. Okay. Yeah. That's just doing ayahuasca. Okay. All right. Throw it back to Bob in the studio. Part of my take is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Before we do these quotes. So memes made a mistake. Oh, no. In the Aaron Rodgers interview. Oh, no. And I didn't realize it in real time. Otherwise, I would have helped him. Yeah. I thought it was just a very awkward question that he asked.

He asked Aaron Rodgers if he would play more than four plays this year, if he would play five plays this year. It kind of was weird. We all were like, what's going on here? Memes forgot to say the part where, will you play five plays this year? Because if you don't, I'm going to have to strap a bomb to my chest and go bomb NFL headquarters. Yeah. Memes famously made that promise a couple months ago. And that was the context for the question. Yeah. Because it sounded like you were being a Dick Jets fan. Yeah.

But in reality, you were just trying to save your own life. Yeah, I was just mainly just trying to ask questions if he's going to play because all I know is five snaps. But I should have referenced the bomb. Yeah, the bomb would have been good there. But it was a good interview. You did good memes. Yeah, all questions but the one awkward one. Yeah, but you did a good job. I was proud of you. That was your first time asking questions in an interview, right? Yeah, first time ever. Wow. And I asked him.

And one question with the quarterback. Just everybody's hand size. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, you want to read these quotes? They're great, PFT. Let's hear them. Did you see them? I did not see them. Oh, I love it. So we'll get your honest reaction. Okay. Go ahead, Hank. You go first. Yeah, I woke up to this one on Saturday, and I was like, this is just fake. I scrolled by a Buckrock Sports tweet. It said, this is from Legion Hoops via the New York Times, Joel Embiid on if he has any doubts Team USA will win the gold medal.

You look at the talent that the U.S. has, but there's equal talent on other teams. And the talent that's on the U.S. team, you also got to understand most of these guys are older. The LeBron now is not the LeBron that was a couple of years ago, so it's a big difference.

Mm.

Okay. Those are his teammates. Yep, they're his teammates. And a very accomplished teammate who's been to... Oh, so now where LeBron stands on this show? No, I was going to ask a question. I was going to ask a question. Hank, has LeBron ever been to a conference finals? A lot. A lot of them. I think a lot, a lot. Like all of them, basically. Yeah, maybe Joel Embiid is just shocked because he's never been on a team with this much talent before. Yeah. No, I think he's saying this team sucks.

It's interesting. He's been playing on such a good team, he's like, eh, we're not that good. Yeah, interesting move for a new American. Yeah, Max, if you're in that locker room and you see your teammates said about you and your team leader, what would you... Well, that was a quote taken out of context. You didn't watch the full thing. What was the context? I don't know.

I did read the article that he had in New York times. It did make sense. Uh, he said that Cameroon is home and if Cameroon had made it to the Olympics, he would have been on team Cameroon. He was deciding between France and us. France put like a time limit on him. Us was like, Hey, let us know. And he was like, I won't, I'm picking us. Uh, so he did make that clear. So it wasn't like he was very clear about that. But he also said in this one, um,

Essentially, without freak injuries, he'd be in the GOAT conversation. Anthony Edwards says shit like that all the time. You're like, oh, Anthony Edwards is so great. I don't think he's ever said that. If Anthony Edwards said that 10 years into his career without getting to a conference final, I'd probably be like, that's crazy. Also, I don't think Anthony Edwards has...

ever had the type of injuries that Joel Embiid has had. Yeah, but you do see the difference. So you're backing up Joel Embiid's point. No, no, no. No, I know I'm saying Anthony Edwards would never say that because he hasn't had those injuries. Yeah, he wouldn't say freak injuries. You understand that if Anthony Edwards in 10 years' time, if he hasn't won anything and he was like, I'm the GOAT,

You want your guys to have confidence. Yeah, I guess. But he doesn't have confidence. If you're a fan of the team, you should think that your best players... He doesn't, though, because he's talking about getting hurt. He's talking about LeBron. He does have confidence in his team. The...

This isn't... Max, I don't know. Max is towards... You guys... This is such bullshit because all you guys ever do is just shit on LeBron, shit on LeBron. He's a piece of shit. And then the one time that it comes against me, you're like, oh...

Like, he's the fucking best. I can't believe anyone would ever say this about LeBron. You might be right. I don't even think about it like LeBron. That's exactly what you think about it. It could have been any teammate. It could have been anyone on this team. Well, he did say, and the other guys on the team have built their reputations off what they have been. You might be right. You might be right, man. He said his teammates are not what they used to be. Let me try something different then, Max, from this article, okay? We're just hopping around. I think Joel Embiid just needs to, my motto is never tell anyone outside the family what you're thinking again. Yeah. Keep it in the family.

Let me ask you this one. He said, quote, the best cheesesteak is Subway cheesesteak. Tro-LMB'd. He's a big Jared fan. That's a great troll. He said, I don't eat cheesesteaks. And the reporter said, you don't eat cheesesteaks? He said, no. You want to know the real answer? The best cheesesteak is Subway cheesesteak. It's a good troll. It's a great troll. Could you imagine Bryce Harper saying something like that, Max? Yeah. I mean...

Embiid's a funny guy. I actually did come out of this interview, uh...

him more because he was, you know, he's been through a lot and it was like, it was good interview. I want to make one thing clear. I have nothing against Joel Embiid. I like, I think he's a funny guy. Actually, you just have something against me. No, I, I love how mad he makes you. There's certain people out there and certain things are just, I only see them through the lens now of being pressure points on Max's body where I can press the Joel Embiid button and get Max worked up about it.

I can press the second place button, get you worked up about it. There's a lot of things. So I appreciate him for that, but I do think he's a good guy. Yeah. And I think he's funny and he's intentionally a troll sometimes. I respect that. Like, I could see him posting a black and white steak photo and being like, perfect steak. I like this guy. It does sound like he likes Subway cheesesteak. He might. Yeah. Yeah. I like the interview. It was a good interview. He's been balling. Not really, but that's fine. It's preseason. Well, I mean, it's...

He will ball. It's preseason. He's calling out his teammates. It's also such bullshit that they... This is a personal thing. What? Why are they playing four hours away from Paris? It's Paris Olympics. Oh, because you want to go. I wanted to go to the game. I wanted to go to the game. It's four hours away. Have you ever seen how the Olympics work, though? Take a train. Oh, man. I'll pay for you to go. I can't go. I can't go. I'll pay for you to go, because imagine if Max got to see Joel Embiid get a freak injury in fucking France. Where are they playing? France.

If you saw, that would be the most Max thing ever if he was out for the year with Max is watching him in France. You wouldn't be able to come back. You'd have to stay there. Yeah, I would choose to stay there.

Yeah. You'd look good in a beret. Oh, we should get some. Can we get a couple max baguettes? I'll tell you what. The baguettes in France. I can't wait. They are so much better than the shit we eat here. It's insane. You just become. I remember I went to France for like 10 days and.

It just became like 2 o'clock would hit, like time to eat an entire baguette. I just want to eat bread and cheese. I don't want to go to any nice restaurant. I'm going to. Something in the water. The only thing, I just want bread and cheese. Something in the water. Bread, cheese. The wine is good. Oh, by the way, one last thing about the Rogers interview. I know we got into the JFK conversation. I wish I had seen the fact that his driver was the one who shot him before we interviewed.

And obviously we taped that before the Trump assassination thing and Joe Biden dropping. Yeah, obviously. Did you see the video of the driver shooting? We watched it. Yeah, but you saw it. You've been converted. I mean, that's just not a real video, but I don't want to talk to you anymore. All right. Numbers 23, 12, 8, 42, 56.

Hank, I'm starting to get that thing where people just DM me strategies of how to get the number, and it's so fucking annoying because there's no strategy. It's a random number generator, but there's no way you're actually going to know what it is. There is a strategy. You can just pick the right number, which all of us pretty much in this room have done. Basically. Basically. 99. 21. This feels like a 99 day. 35. Ooh. 35. 35.

C-Max, you should have picked 35. That's an easy strategy. Try the 1 through 100. Love you guys.
