Yeah, we started a bromance. We're going to talk some sports. We have the Mount Rushmore of sandwiches. Contentious. Contentious. If you thought we were being too nice this Mount Rushmore season, you're in luck. Contentious. Contentious.

We have the Mount Rushmore of sandwiches. We have a great interview. And then we'll do Fyre Fest, which should we even have Fyre Fest this week? Because we had the chillest week ever. I think F-I-R-E Fest. Oh, yeah. Okay. The first ever Fyre Fest. I love that. So we had a great show coming for everyone. The MMA event of the year, Battle of the Giants, is coming up fast.

I never want to leave this place.

Boys, how are we feeling? Chill? Feeling very chill. Couldn't be more chill. Extremely chill. I'm way chillier than Hank. I'm way chillier than Hank as well. I think chill is just a state of mind. I don't think that there's a competition. Okay. Well, if there were a competition, we would win chillest. That sounds like something that somebody who's not chill would say. Yeah. It's not a competition. I don't know. This week, though, first of all, we're rookies out here, which has never been more apparent because every move we've made, everyone's like, oh, you did that? Yeah, we're leaving the golf tournament before the golf tournament. Yes, but...

It's been an incredible week. Thank you to the American Century Championship. Incredible host. We've got some awesome interviews that are going to be coming out in the next few weeks. It was like a dream coming out here. It's beautiful. The scenery, the vibes.

All the dudes in the flat brim hats, which I don't know why, but California just does that and they do it better than everyone else. Kids in flat brim hats everywhere. Yeah. We were signing autographs for kids. That was weird. Kept apologizing. Yeah. I kept trying to pull away and they kept like, please, please, please. I'm like, you don't want this. This event has a lot of very famous people. We are not very famous people. We're barely famous online. But everyone's in autograph and picture mode.

And if you're walking somewhere with a credential, everyone's just like, who is that? I got a lot of who is that? - Yeah. - And then a bunch of kids being like, can we get your autograph? I was like, I don't think you want my autograph. - Yeah, they're here to get autographs from like Tony Romo, people that they see on TV, like the famous people. And then they see us coming out and then kids come over

And I'm like, I don't want to ruin your hat. Yeah. Like my signature makes your hat trash. I signed a kid's Niners jersey, a six-year-old's Niners jersey. I was like, dude, you don't want this. And he was just like, yeah, I do. There were two six-year-old girls that were like, sign my arm. And I looked at the parents. I was like, I don't want to sign your child's arm. Yeah. But here we are. Here we are. Chill Week. Yeah. It's been awesome. Okay, we'll talk more Chill Week. We'll talk Fyre Fest, F-I-R-E.

R.E. Firefest at the end because it's been such a chill week. We should start, though, with the most important news in sports history. Greg Berhalter has been fired yet again. We did it, guys. Congratulations. USA Soccer is back on the map. We're so back. We're going to win a World Cup. As quickly as we were back, then we went straight to Klopp, the guy that we wanted, the great coach. I think he coached, I'm going to fuck this up, Liverpool maybe? Yeah, Liverpool. Yeah, so he was our number one, and he has rebuffed us.

The United States has been rebuffed by Jurgen Klopp. But who doesn't rebuff a first offer? We just got to come back. We just got to go higher and higher and higher. Or hear me out. What if we just hired Greg again? Third time's a charm. He does know where the office is. Yeah, he's like maybe the Jeff Fisher of U.S. soccer. Yeah. This is going to be the one that changes it, though. I think so, yeah. I think that it can't be worse. No. No.

There is something very satisfying. I'm not the biggest soccer fan, but in all sports, when you've been trying to get a guy fired and you finally do it, it's just a very satisfying feeling because it really is the only way that fans feel like they had an impact, even though he probably got fired not because of the fans, but because he sucked as a coach. No, it was us. It was us. But you can take credit for it as a fan and be like, maybe.

Mission accomplished. We fucking did it. We got this guy fired. The funniest thing ever was, I think it was late last week, the biggest supporters club of the United States, the U.S. Outlaws, they issued a statement officially calling for his firing. Oh, no. Which was big, yeah. Once you lose the Outlaws. Once you lose the Outlaws, then you're the in-laws. It's over. Nobody likes in-laws. It's good. It's been a long time coming. I don't know who we're going to get. At this point...

What I saw last night when we were watching the Copa America, and after the game was over, we saw the Uruguayan players, they went into the stands to fight the Colombian supporters. Yeah, mouse the palace. The United States will never be great at soccer until our players care enough to go into the stands and fight people from other countries. I had the exact same thought. I was like, we can fire, hire, get any coach you want in the world. It's the SEC. It just means more. That somehow...

A Malice at the Palace situation where they were throwing chairs and fighting fans in the stage. At no point was I like, oh my God, they have to stop this. I was like, these guys just fucking care about soccer. This rocks. And that one dude from Uruguay, I think it was Nunez, Darwin Nunez. He was wearing like a sports bra. Yeah. Charging into the stands, just throwing haymakers. And God bless the cops that were out there because they were just standing and just watching like.

It was a boys will be boys situation. Yeah, right. Sometimes you've got to let them fight it out. Yeah, this is how they deal with a loss. Yeah. And I had no problem with it. And I would love to see the U.S. have that type of emotion. We'll never. We'll never get there. Maybe. So SEC, what if we did the full Ted Lasso experiment and we got Nick Saban?

Just have him coach the team and then bring in like an X's nose guys. Have him just talk about football and then have a guy there that's just translating everything that he says into soccer. Yeah, I like it. I like it. Hank? Hank asked if...

Colombia was going to play England in their next game. They should. Because England did win as well. It's coming home. They're going to get killed by Spain. It's coming home, though. But it is coming home. Did you see the Killers concert? No. That was incredible. I think that was in London or in England somewhere. And they played the end of the game live.

Like on this massive screen behind them. I love that. And then the second the game was over, the killers went into Mr. Brightside and they shot confetti. The entire crowd went nuts. This seems to me like England team of destiny. Yeah. I love watching those videos in England when they just all throw all full beers at each other. Yeah. It was just the best time ever.

It's like the Cubs outfield. Yeah. Who was it that hit that home run? Miguel Montero. Love a good beer shot. Grand slam against the Dodgers. That was one of the most electric moments ever. Yeah, but I don't know. Spain's probably way too good for England, but it would be cool to see it come home for once. Yeah, yeah. They don't play tiki-taka anymore. They don't? No. Because they got that new guy. Yeah, I heard they don't do that. This is probably some in-depth soccer people don't even know we had in our bag. They don't do the tiki-taka, which tiki-taka was...

That was just like if you just made an entire offense out of screens. It was Phil Jackson's dream offense. It was a triangle. Triangle is everywhere. Yeah, and it just like bores you to death until they just keep passing it until they're standing right in front of the goal. Yeah. That's talking soccer. Okay, other things. U.S. men's basketball team played against Canada last night. Bad first quarter, but then we kicked their ass.

it was awesome hearing Bill Raftery on the call. It's like Alabama football with them, though. Yeah. But – Like that would be – uh-oh.

It's a close game in the first quarter. Yeah, because the U.S. should never lose in basketball. But there is like a weird thing that can happen with them where they're so talented and the guys aren't like moving on offense. And then you play another team that it's a bunch of dudes that have been playing together since they were in elementary school. And they know how to play ball together. I don't think that's going to happen, but that's what it looked like in the first quarter. And.

And we had Dylan Brooks still trying to be an agitator even after a loss. I love that. Cut through Devin Brooks or Devin. Yeah. Devin Booker's interview just walked right in front of him when he was getting interviewed. But the big story about USA basketball, Hank, Jalen Brown. What about him? Not on the team. And he's upset. He's very upset. He thinks it's a conspiracy by Nike to keep him out. He said. White is now on the team, allegedly, because Kawhi.

Pretty shocking news, Kawhi got hurt and can't play. Well, the Clippers brought him home. Yeah. I think the Clippers were like, we know you. You're going to get hurt. Yeah. Please don't get hurt. You're not allowed to play. It actually was perfect that Kawhi showed up and played in some practices, and then as soon as the playoffs started, he's like, I'm out, guys. Yeah, so they brought Kawhi back. Everybody thought, surely Jalen Brown, he was a snub the first time. He did not get the gig.

They think it's because of Nike, because Nike sponsors the U.S. national team. And then Jalen Brown just tweeted out, I'm not afraid of you or your resources. And then he did the monocle thinking emoji. He did this one, Hank. Yeah, the Monopoly guy. Yeah, Monopoly guy. Or is it the Pringles guy? Monopoly guy does not have a monocle. That's Mandela effect. Yeah, Pringles guy? Pringles guy. He's got the mustache. Does the Pringles guy have the monocle? Who has a monocle? Monopoly guy doesn't have a monocle. No. The Pringles guy has a monocle.

Monopoly guy has a monocle? I think Monopoly guy definitely has a monocle. This guy's talking monocles real quick? Pringles doesn't? Pringles guy just has the mustache and then Monopoly guy... What's the Monopoly guy's name? Uh, it's something like Penny... Penny's work? Monopoly guy doesn't have a monocle? Oh, he does, he does. In an alternate logo, he has a monocle. Alternate, yeah. Well, like this one. But the classic... That's a monocle. Classic Monopoly guy does not have a monocle. So who's the most famous monocle guy? There's no monocle guy.

I'm going to look this up. Oh, Mr. Peanut? Oh, yeah. Shane, look at that. Shane from the Raptors. Yes. Mr. Peanut is the number one Monaco guy. Maybe we should bring that back. We should do Mount Rushmore and Monaco guys. I think we just did. Yeah, I think so, too. Monopoly guy, Pringles guy, Mr. Peanut. Sam Darnold. Sherlock Holmes. He couldn't play in that game. Yeah, Sam Darnold. Yeah. Yeah, so what do you think, Hank? I mean, I think there's only one ball. Do you even know this was happening? Totally. Oh, he totally knew. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, you're so chill. I didn't know. We've been talking about it for two days. Yeah, we have not brought it up once. I mean, we definitely talked about it at length yesterday, but that's fine. You're rewriting history. That sounded very unchill of you. I'm not scared of your resources. Hey, just tweets that after every Mount Rushmore. There's only one ball, so I think it makes sense to bring in someone that's a good defensive player, is used to coming off the bench. He's going to contribute in ways that...

where he doesn't need to be necessarily a superstar. And I do think there is probably some truth to the Nike thing where Kyrie is also, you know, if Jalen Brown's a snub, Kyrie's a snub. Obviously, Derek White's a great player. I'm happy for him, and I think he's going to contribute to the team. But if we're talking on pure talent...

Kyrie and Jalen Brown are better than Derek White. They're both very outspoken against Nike. Coincidence? Probably not. I think not. Yeah. Finals MVP, Jalen. Yeah. Not good enough to make the national team? I think not. It's not.

Did you see – I had a nice moment. Micah Potter and Nigel Hayes-Davis both got in the game, Wisconsin, because it's – so they have the team select, which is like what Cooper Flagg is on. He should have gotten the gig. Yeah. They should have brought him up. Well, they are playing – they're practicing, but because of Kawhi and –

And KD being out, they let the two of them be on the team for the game against Canada. Pretty fucking cool moment to be like, I got to play on Team USA? Yeah. That's like a... Michael Potter scored. Yeah, there was a great moment too. I think it was before the game or maybe it could have been a day or two ago where Obama went up to every player on the team, dapped them all up, then got to the coaches and did the very firm handshake. It was the Key and Peele sketch to the point where I thought...

He was doing it on purpose. Yes. Like the handshakes were so rigid and white at the end. Yes. It was so funny to watch, though. But, yeah, good job, USA. You beat Canada. I feel like Canada is going to be almost as tough of a competition as they'll run into. Like some of the Eastern European teams are probably pretty good, too. France is going to be good. France will be a problem. France will be a problem. NB might be suited for the international game. Greece is going to be a problem. Greece is a problem. Greece. Who else is a problem? You got Giannis and Thanasis. Yeah. Who else? There's no other problems. Is there any one?

Slovenia, Serbia. Not in. Slovenia didn't make it. Oh, okay, wow. Yeah, Lithuania. Luka lost to Giannis. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Spain. Spain? The Gasol brothers got to be still doing it. Yeah, for sure. That's for sure happening. Cameroon. Cameroon? I'll wait. Oh, are you a birther? What's going on here? You don't think Embiid should be on Team USA? I forgot. You think he's ring-chasing?

He is. It is. Yeah. Don't you want him beat on Team USA, though? He fouled out in 12 minutes, so it's not like he's going to help too much. Yeah. It's only five fouls, but that's crazy that he fouled out in five minutes. I didn't realize that.

It's preseason. It's preseason Olympics. It was. It literally was preseason Olympics. Yeah, but still. Everyone's freaking out about Embiid. Who cares about preseason? The game didn't count. Well, I feel like you have to practice like you play. Sounds like you're freaking out about Embiid, dude. I mean, I'm not saying we're chill over here. You're kind of coming at us. I'm not chill. I'm not chill. Max, what happened was Hank just pointed out a fact. Hank is...

Put it on a quote card. Egg is bad? Bad. Bad. Maybe it means bad as in good, as in chill. Bad. It's a bad motherfucker. Bad. Okay, a couple other things. One, next week, EA Sports College football is out. Huge. Duggs is going to come back. I'll release a schedule maybe Sunday. But Sunday...

PFT, Hank, and Max can get in on it as well. We're going to do a little preview stream. First look. 5 Central to 7 Central, 6 to 8 Eastern on our channels. So we'll be streaming from the office. First look. You'll get to watch us play the game. I think we should use it. We should maybe play a couple scrimmages, but we also should toy around and see what team I should pick. I'm thinking also about what are roles on the staff. Yeah. I want you guys to be...

If anyone wants to be defensive coordinator and actually play the game with me, but also I would love to have a recruiting director so I can blame someone for not getting me the best recruits. That feels like a good role for Hank. Yeah. Strength coach? Strength coach, yes. That would be awesome. I would like that. Strength coach would be great. Yeah. Okay, so we'll figure it out. But yeah, tune in. We're going to be doing a stream. It's going to be a preview stream. Yeah. It's the most anticipated stream.

video game I think release ever is going to change how summer's dealt with. I'm excited to see what the different things you can do behind the scenes are. Yeah. I heard you can make a burner count. Yeah, we're going to get, we're going to get, we're basically, we'll play a couple of games, but we're also going to just kind of get deep into the game and figure out what's going on. Can you choose not to suspend your running back for DUIs? We'll try. Yeah. Yeah. We'll, we'll, we'll give it a shot. Um, but yeah, tune in for that. Uh, Paul Skeen's through no hitter.

Through seven innings. So he had what? How many pitches? 99. Took him out before he got to 100. I get it, but also, fuck that. So... Like, dude, he's been in MLB for three months. Imagine if he threw a no-hitter. That would be so sick. It seems like they just have Paul Skeen's rules. Like they had the Strasburg rules back in the day, where it's like, if he throws 100 pitches, that's bad. 99 pitches is good. I don't know why... Okay, so I understand you don't want him to throw 140 pitches. Yeah.

But if you're at 99, put him out there for the eighth inning, see if he can get out of it in 10 pitches, and then you go again. What's the difference between 99 pitches and 110 pitches? There's nothing. Well, it's 11. It's 11 pitches. I was hoping that the Pirates were going to throw a combined no-hitter because that would kind of...

That'd be like a weird thing where it's like, oh yeah, he had a no-hitter. The team had a no-hitter. I apologize for all Pittsburgh fans listening to this, but if I were not thinking about them, I would say that they're saving his arm for when he gets signed by the Yankees later. Yes. So you're saying that it wouldn't have been as... No, it would have. I said it combined no-hitter. It wouldn't have been as meaningful...

No, it would have been as meaningful because he would have been like, I was part of a no-hitter. But you just said that you were upset that they took him out. I am upset they took him out because I wanted to see him throw it by himself. But if they had thrown the whole no-hitter, it would have been awesome, too. A no-hitter's a no-hitter, bro.

You ever think like there's probably people, I always just think about like the hundred people who this is their first episode of Pardon My Take. And they're like, what was that? It's a zero hitter. What just happened? According to Max, it would have been a combined zero hitter. What was that 20 seconds exchange that just occurred?

You can't explain it. It's usually some deep thing that we have to needle. Sometimes people don't even know what we're doing when we do it. Even if you do listen to the show, something maybe happened off camera, off screen, and we're just spending valuable podcast time just making one of our producers' lives miserable. Yeah, or just valuable podcast time fighting the same fight that we've been fighting for years, just rehashing it because that's what guys do. Yeah.

It really is the most chill guy thing to do is be like, let me bring up the thing that we fought about years ago and just keep pick it up like we've never dropped it. Yeah. I mean, memes has been on a pit for two years. That's true. He has been on a pit. He's he. Can we tell the story about the David Wells interview or no?

Max forgot to record one of the cameras and it was great because I was like memes I was like memes you're gonna be like Max gonna be on a pip pips off you and he's like no way this is gonna be hard for me to get big social numbers so I'm just gonna get even deeper into the

He was like, everything just rolls down to me. Kind of true. Like, Mac's fucked up. It's going to be on me. Yeah. Yeah. It turned out great. That was a great interview. Yeah. David Wallace, legendary. He's a football guy who played baseball. Yeah. Yeah. Great, great interview. And then I also had, I found the dumbest hypothetical ever. You guys want to hear it?

This was going around the internet yesterday. Office debate. This is Ryan Cohn, 24. Office debate today. Would you rather get handed 30K right now or play a week in the big leagues no pay? 30K. 30K all day? Would I rather... What position? Right. Whatever position. You would just get...

If the hypothetical was you got to be good at baseball and play for a week, but if you put me on an MLB team for a week, I think it'd be the most miserable week of your life. No, that's no confidence. Dude. You got to bet on yourself. I would bet on myself personally. Say they put you out in outfield. What if they put you at third base? Yeah. You never know. What if I'm really sick? Just every single play just being a disaster for you? Yeah. You got to bet on yourself.

You could parlay that into hundreds of millions of dollars. Man. DH. You just have to be DH. No, you have to play the field for this hypothetical. I mean, it would be cool to hang out with the guys, but the guys would hate you after one game.

Probably less than that. Like, you suck. Yeah, probably less than that. Probably first practice. Yeah, probably warm-ups. Yeah. What's my ERA, though, if we extrapolated what that was against University of Chicago? Oh, I don't know. I think my ERA is what? I let in two runs? Yeah. Okay. So over an inning. I have a 9.0. It was two innings. Two innings. So I have a 9.0 ERA. Yeah. That's better than a lot of big league players. There might have been an unearned run there, too. Yeah, that's true. Good point. Yeah. Oh, no, it was a balk.

Which is probably my fault as a pitcher. Yeah, well, it was Jerry calling the block. Yeah, but I mean, who knows? I've got that irrational confidence sometimes where it's like you never know until you step into a situation. Maybe you're just sick at it. Yeah. We found that out with wakeboarding. That's a good point. Yeah, wakeboarding video. When is wakeboarding video coming out? I think it's out. It's out now? It is already out. It's already out. Hank was so chill in it. It was unreal how chill Hank was. We're not wakeboarders. No.

We're not wakeboarders. I think we all knew it going into it, too. We were like, none of us will be good at this. I said, I think, maybe it's not in the video, but I definitely said at one point, 0% chance. One person is good, and it's the last person that any person is going to expect. But it was very chill vibes. It was. And Hank has definitely got the wakeboarding bug. He's talking about it. He's thinking about it. It might be a Mount Rushmore punishment.

Do you have to get up on a wakeboard for five minutes? It'll never happen. It'll never happen. Hey, do you think you can get up for five minutes? Yes. I mean, we talk about irrational confidence betting on yourself. Yes. I thought I broke my wrist too. It turns out if you hold on too tight when you're wakeboarding, you can seriously damage your wrist. Yeah. I couldn't open a door. I was trying to open like a Coors Light can and I had to ask people for help.

It's tough. It was very sad. I felt like an 80-year-old man. Can I say something that was very sad? It was probably the most... I've worked my core out in a long time, and last night I googled, which side is your appendix on? Because I thought my appendix was about to burst. Turns out my pain is on my left side, my appendix is on my right side. That's good. And it's all just because of weight. But I was like, there's no way that I'm this...

sore two days after, I must have an appendix about to burst. - The trick is, Hank, you're supposed to keep your arms straight when it pulls you off. - Yeah, you do have to keep your arms straight. - Bend your arms and use too much of your forearm muscle and then you can't open up a water bottle afterwards. - Gotta keep those arms straight. - That's good to know. - Straight as could be. Okay, anything else before we do our Mount Rushmore? We'll get to Firefest.

Anything else in the sports world? I saw that the All-Star game is going to have robot bartenders. What? Yeah, robot bartenders at the All-Star game. If you're a fan, you want a drink, you go up, and a robot pours your drink for you. Not only does it... Is it the Fox robot? Are they still going to ask for a tip? It's not Cletus. I would love Cletus. Yeah, it's going to spin around an iPad afterwards and ask you for a tip. I heard that they're also going to wave you over and make small talk with you. Whoa. Which is fucking creepy. Yeah.

I'm very nervous that Christian Yelich is going to be in the Home Run Derby. No, we're good. He's starting to hit a lot of home runs. We're good. We're fine. We're fine with that. This could be the end of the podcast. He's a choke artist.

That'd be actually funny if he won and we ended the podcast and our last episode was just like eight straight interviews that we did this week. Just dumped them all. Here you go. Yeah, we're ready, Christian. Yeah. That's what you don't know. We've got an apocalypse bunker of interviews that we're ready to unleash. Ready to go. Okay, before we get to Mount Rushmore, Chill Week. Shout out Coors Light. They are our sponsor for Chill Week. They're our sponsor every week. But especially this week on Chill Week, before all the hustle of football season, we decided to come out here, have a chill week.

with the help of Coors Light. We'll be hosting interviews with fellow golf lovers in town, enjoying the summer fun that Tahoe has to offer, and most of all, choosing chill with Coors Light all week long. When you embrace a chill mindset, it's a good time to choose chill and crack open a Coors Light. Coors Light is mountain cold refreshment, crisp and refreshing as the Colorado Rockies...

Tune in for our adventures of Chill Week. We've got a ton of awesome interviews. And don't forget to choose chill and reach for a Coors Light. Get Coors Light delivered straight to your door with the Instacart by going to CoorsLight.com. Celebrate responsibly. Coors Brewing Company, Golden, Colorado. Thank you to Coors Light. We love Coors Light. We've had some Coors Lights this week. Incredible week. Chill week. Okay, let's do the Mount Rushmore.

Okay, let's do our Mount Rushmore and it's brought to you by our friends at Pepsi. Saucy, crunchy, gooey, messy. Pepsi is an essential part of the most undeniably delicious food moments. The refreshing pop of sweet, fizzy Pepsi bubbles makes even the best food taste even better. Grab a Pepsi Zero Sugar for your next meal as every crave-worthy bite is better with Pepsi.

I love the Pepsi Wild Cherry, so thank you to Pepsi. We're going to do the Mount Rushmore sandwiches, and every single one of these goes better with a Pepsi, so thank you to Pepsi. Okay, it's Mount Rushmore time. We're doing the Mount Rushmore of sandwiches. How have we never done this? I don't know. It's going to be contentious, though. It is going to be contentious. I don't think it's going to be contentious. Well, it's going to be contentious because I feel like everyone's going to have a stacked board. Oh. So we're going to have to go at each other's picks. It's an all-time draft. Should we just say right now, like, hot dog now?

Like, we're doing that. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm okay with that. That's the only thing I can think of, like, being contentious. I think if you say hot dog, you deserve what's coming to you. Yeah. Okay. That's a good point. Okay. Free market. That's a good point. We also need to figure out what the punishment is because we realize the calling thing is, well, great idea is not going to work because you're basically illegally taping people. So...

Let's figure out what the punishment is right now before we get too deep into Mount Rushmore season. Or at least throw out some ideas. No, or at least throw out some ideas that we can marinate on and maybe we'll finalize it next week. But we don't want to get so far deep into Mount Rushmore that if someone's way behind, they're like, I'm not doing that. I like the idea of sending somebody on a road trip that they don't want to go on. Okay. Like making them travel in the most inconvenient way possible to the worst destination for no reason. Okay. Run a marathon? Yeah.

Fuck. No. That's not doing that. You completely twisted my words on that. Yeah. I'm just thinking of ideas. Yeah. Walk a marathon? What else we got? Send him to the Arctic Circle. What if I was also thinking like, what if we all came up with personal punishments that would be good for streams?

would take a long time but also not be like the worst thing ever so you could like we could all come up with our own punishments and we could modify the other person's part we all put them together and then we'll have a group discussion about all and then we can tweak the punishments to make them all relatively right equal right this should be a homework assignment right or next week yeah next week yeah because i was just monday thinking about it like i would like if i did like something some ridiculous uh

like basketball shooting thing that would take me hours and hours and hours like BFT you probably don't want to do that so we should figure out something like specific to each of us nah I think it's gonna be universal okay alright this is no bad idea I actually don't mind Big Cat's idea but then we're back to the situation where you get upset because of the hot dogs because Big Cat and I are larger than you yeah right exactly you're the key complainer of anything you're always like oh you want to do that

Well, yeah, you, I mean, you want to eat hot dogs. I don't want to eat so many hot dogs that I feel sick. I think we should think about it. You're so dumb, you could have just been like hole-in-one stream for yourself. Yeah. We should think for the viewers. Okay. Well, you're being really unchill. I think Hank doesn't want to do homework. Yeah. Which is actually, to be fair, kind of chill. That is chill. I mean, look at your hat right now. Oh, shit. Not chill. Buddy.

There we go. Now you're chill. All right, let's go. Mount Rushmore of sandwiches. Who's up first? Max. I'm up first. The standings, by the way, are they are Max is on fire. He's been hot. He's got 15 points. Your defense is terrifying. I have 14 points. PFT has 11. Hank has 10. Still very close. It's anyone's game. Anyone's game. So that's why we got to figure out the...

punishment yep what if we what if we did that idea where we come up with that different ideas but each person gets somebody else to think of the punishment for oh draw out of hat ideas no so like i would come up with punishment for hank oh hank would come up with one for max max you you me something like that yeah hank gold two days without complaining challenge impossible did you do it i think i can i also kind of like the idea if we did if we came up with like five or six and we did a

By hat. I like that idea. Yeah. We don't know what's going to happen. You can't prepare for it. Yeah. We all submit an idea. And it's like, because I do think no matter what it is, the punishment should be something that we can easily stream so the people can get involved. Yep. That's what it has to be. We should all have one approved idea. Yeah. And it gets drawn at the end of the Mount Rushmore. Everyone come with two good ideas for Monday's show.

And then we'll whittle it down to the best four ideas. And then those go into a hat. And when we get to the end of Mount Rushmore season, the loser draws out of a hat. Love it. I love it. Okay. All right. Great. All right. Who's up? I'm up.

Cheesesteak, 1-1. Good pick. It's a good pick. It's a good pick. It's a sandwich so good that we've made a brand off of this sandwich. I love cheesesteaks. I was saying, mmm, because I want one. Oh, gotcha. I was just like, mmm.

Good pick. What do you, what do you thought I was going to, I don't know. I don't know. I was just, I was just, it sounds like you got defensive. Are you a Wiz Witt guy though? Yeah. Uh, I am, if I'm in Philly, I'm getting a Cooper Sharp with onions. Cooper Sharp Witt. Cooper Sharp. Witt. Yes. Wiz Witt. All right.

Shout out part of my cheesesteak. Okay. My one one, I'm going to go with an Italian. So by that, I mean it's got to have like three different kinds of meats on it. Usually like a soppressata, a gabagool, prosciutto, maybe pepperoni on there. You get the hot peppers, the oil, the Italian shake, provolone. Some people put mozzarella. I like provolone, a little bit melted, toasted bun, spicy mustard. Love it. Heavenly sandwich. Love it. Am I up?

I believe I am. Yes, you are up. Chicken parm. Good pick. Done. I knew you were going to go there. Cheesesteak is my 1-1. Chicken parm would be my 1-2. I had to go cheesesteak, but if I didn't go cheesesteak, I was going to go chicken parm. And Italian was probably up there. This is a loaded draft. There's so many good options. There's going to be some X-Factors. Take a hot dog.

I'm gonna go with a Cubano. Okay. Oh, okay. Interesting. No, I do like that sandwich. I didn't have it on my board, but I really do like that sandwich. I didn't think even close to a first round pick. I didn't think Hank had that in him, though. I had it on my big board as like a break glass in case of emergency. My board is shattered. Wait, did you only have chicken parm cheese steak and Italian?

I got some other ones, but that was a majority. Uh, three, three. And then we'll go with BLT. Okay. Okay. Classic. Okay. Never fails. Okay. Some of these sandwiches, you can get bad versions of them. It's almost impossible to get a bad version of a BLT. Yep. I'm happy. Cause I got my second pick. Uh,

Bacon, egg, and cheese. Good pick. That's just the classic. What? What was that face? Breakfast sandwich, yeah. What did you say? What was the second word you said there? That's a breakfast sandwich. Were you trying to make the case that it wasn't a sandwich? It's 100% a sandwich. I haven't said a word. But you gave us...

All right, restart the clock. Hank, not complaining. Hank takes advantage. If you're a podcast only listener, Hank takes advantage of you so much because you don't see his face. There's actually probably someone just who's never watched us. You give Hank such a hard time. They're so mean to Hank. It's like you didn't see his face. Yeah, go watch the video. It was a face when I said bacon, egg, and cheese. You did a face. I was thinking. You did a face when I did bacon, egg, and cheese.

Okay. I think that's a good pick. Thank you. Yeah, for sure. I mean, you guys both definitely had it on your list. Yes. I actually, I had that on there, but I also had with the hash brown on it. I like it when you add the hash brown. For sure. Gives it a little crisp to it. Yeah.

This is great because I got my number two overall pick on here. I thought Cubano was your number two overall. I did have Cubano on my list, which is a good sandwich. It is a good sandwich. Cubano is a really good sandwich. It's not first round. Hank, how many Cubanos have you had? So many. Okay.

Chef? Are you just in a Cubano phase right now, though? Because that's the other thing about you. You're a phase eater. Huge phase eater. I realized this probably like five or six years ago. I can't remember what it might have been. Meatball? No, it was steak and cheese. It was steak and cheese.

you had steak and cheese every single day for like three weeks and then I didn't see you with the steak and cheese for the rest of the year. And I was like, what happened? You're like, I like to eat in phases and I just go as hard as I can and then I stop. I'm the same exactly with music. I find a song I like, I listen to it every day over and over again and then I just... Actually, people are like that with food too.

Yeah, no, I do it a little bit, but Hank does it to an extreme where he won't look at it for the rest of the year. The movie, I watched the movie, it's called Chef, right? Yeah. I watched that movie and it was in a Cubano phase for a long time. So are you in a Cubano phase right now? No. Okay. But I'm open if there's good Cubanos in Chicago. I haven't really tried to venture out there. Okay, I'm psyched about this one. Number two, peanut butter and jelly. Oh, man.

One of the classics. Classic of the genre. And I'd like to stipulate that contains Uncrustables as well. Well, no, no. You can't put that on the ground. That's not a sandwich. It's peanut butter and jelly. It's also not. It's a sandwich. You need two bread. Teas of bread. Peanut butter and jelly is so good. Yeah. It's classic. So yeah, put that on. Yeah, you should have Uncrustables as your pick. A great part of being a parent is getting back into peanut butter and jellies because you don't make peanut butter and jellies as like an adult. Yeah.

And now I make them all the time, and I'm just little toasted bread. Yeah, and there's leftovers from your kids. Just grab those, pop them in. We can keep this going. I'm going to go grilled cheese. Yeah. Same sort of. I had those weighed pretty much equally. Nostalgic sandwiches. That are really good. Every time you have, especially chef, like you brought it up.

You get a couple different types of cheese. And there's different options. You can add a slice of tomato in there, maybe a slice like that. What was that? Melt shop in New York? Yeah. That was a big phase of mine. Yep. And then I didn't think that this one would fall. Turkey club. Okay. Now, I will say a turkey club has the potential on the low end to be very dry. Mayo. Mayo.

I'm saying on the low end it can be very dry. I love a turkey club. Yeah, I like it. I like it I like it. I wasn't gonna say I like more than a BLT Because turkey club implies that it's got bacon on it. Oh, yes. Yes. Yeah, you take a BLT with turkey club. Yeah, turkey club. It's club sandwich. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, my turn. Yeah. I love this ice cream.

Ice cream sandwich. Dessert sandwich. Nice. We're mixing it up a little bit. Love it. Ice cream sandwich. I was in a big ice cream sandwich phase for about, I'd say, five years when I was in New York. Yep. Good pick. All right.

I'll go Italian beef. Love Italian beef. What is that? Not a sandwich? No, I was... If I could say anything. Holy shit. I was just making... I thought... It took me a second to process that it was different than Italian. Like when I heard Italian. Oh, yeah. Okay, all right. That's fair. That's fair. Hey, that's fair. Hey, that's fair. We're not the spicy jardiniere? Yeah. We're nothing but fair on this show. We are fair. Yeah, we are fair. We're the fairest guys out there. We are fair. I'm going to go with Chicken Club.

Much better than a turkey club. Much better than a turkey club. You got BLT and chicken club? I love it, Hank. I love it. I mean, I lost this draft, but... No, you didn't. Hot dog. Take a hot dog. Let's go Reuben. Okay. I had Reuben on the list. I had Reuben on the list. I had Reuben on the list. What kind of meats on Reuben? Hank, what happened in this draft? I think I have a good board. No, I don't. What kind of meats in Reuben? You have Cubano, BLT...

A chicken BLT. Chicken club. Yeah, I wish I could change that last one. Where would you say this draft went wrong for you, Hank? What? Where would you say this draft went wrong for you? Going last and getting my top five picks all taken. But how did you not know? Wait a minute, wait a minute. Cheese steak, Italian, and chicken parm were always going to go one, two, three. I was confused. There was a second where I like...

I didn't know how this was going to go. I thought people would think cheesesteak was a sub, so they were going to take it. And chicken parm, too. Chicken parm is better as a non-sandwich. Chicken parm is infinitely better as just chicken parm. I don't know. Chicken parm sandwich. How often do you order a chicken parm sandwich? Wait a minute. You were going to pick those. I didn't think it was going to. I thought it was going to get to me. You thought chicken parm and cheesesteak were like...

underrated low-key sandwiches. No, I just thought you guys might have thought them as subs so you wouldn't take them. You were talking trash and then you were saying how upset you were that they didn't get to you. He thought he outsmarted us. He thought that we had... I just thought you guys were going to have more deli sandwiches to start. I thought he had some hidden gems with cheesesteak. Why did we ever think that? I don't know. I literally wrote down when we were doing sandwiches, I just started doing a brain dump and it was...

Italian, chicken parm, cheesesteak, and grilled cheese. Those are the first four I wrote down and then went from there. So I have my last pick. I love you, Hank. I love you too. You're chill right now. Yeah, you're chill. Thank you. You are chill. I'm not a foodie. I mean, we've gone over this. You're not a foodie. You've probably had 100 times more sandwiches than me. Every time we do one of these, we're just going to have to keep doing it. 100 times? We're going to keep doing food rush more. Every time you order a sandwich, you order two.

I only order one. You're 10 years older. 100 times. Do the math. That's a lot of sandwiches. 100 times more sandwiches. 100 times more, though. How much older? He's 10 years older. 365 times two. So, Hank. Wait. You think he eats two more sandwiches than you eat every day? He eats two sandwiches a day. Hank, hold on. So, how many sandwiches do you think you eat? How old are you? 31. How many sandwiches do you think you eat a year? 150? Yeah.

200, let's say? Yeah, 200. 200. All right. So let's say 200. You think I've eaten 560,000 sandwiches. Half a million sandwiches. Which would mean I'll go same math.

That I eat 15,555 sandwiches a year. All right. So it's probably closer to 642 sandwiches a day. Ten times. We all have ten times. All right. I'll go. It's my pick. Buffalo chicken sub. Yep. Okay. That was. I love it. That was a good one. It's the best. Honestly, every time. What?

Nothing. What? I can't say anything. I can't even exist. Yeah, I want to know. What's the problem? What's the problem with Buffalo Chicken Sub? That was a joke. No, it wasn't. No, Buffalo Chicken Sub's great. I prefer the... Barber... Barber Cuffalo. Barber Cuffalo. Well, I knew you were going to pick Buffalo Chicken Sub because you can't take anything spicy. Right. Yeah. I was... I've gotten better at that, though. One of my... I'm a hungover spicy guy now. Since we were... Oh, really? Yeah, but...

does something to me yeah you sweat it out a little bit yeah we were talking about uh doing two sandwiches my favorite combo is doing a cheesesteak and a buffalo chicken because it's like a little something different see no i don't do that if i'm doing two i'll go a hot and a cold oh because it's like yeah yeah like an italian buffalo chicken yeah i don't hate that it's a good order yeah

All right. I'm conflicted on my last one here because I've got a personal favorite that I feel like it might be one of the best sandwiches in the world. Go with it. So I'm going to go with it. Banh Mi, the Vietnamese sandwich. It's so fucked. I think it's rated as like the best sandwich in the world. I read that in places by foodies, people that like food.

But yeah, it's like it's pork. It's cilantro. It's got marinated carrots. It's got some sort of sauce on whatever it is. It's awesome. Yeah, it's neat. I would say it's worthy of a first round grade. So this is my this is my you're calling your shot still a resistance. Yeah. If we know anything, though, it'll be those probably aren't going to. Well, I've never heard. I mean, they were they were upset that I picked duck. Yeah, that's true. Very upset. If Hank has never heard of it, it's probably good. Yeah. Yeah.

Bulgagi as well. Bulgagi is excellent. I know Max isn't going to pick that. No, I'm not. I was really hoping you were going to pick one of my two. I have two in my head that I – they could be two of my favorites. They could have been my first pick.

But I have to. Memes, you decide which one you should pick. No, I'm going to go meatball. I'm going to go meatball. Okay. What was the other one? I should have just picked a French dip. A French dip. Okay, yeah, you made the right choice probably. Oh, a French dip is so good though. French dip is very good. Meatball is. I should have done meatball instead of Reuben. I don't know why I didn't.

You and Max were going to take meatballs, too. Yeah, obviously. Max's second food draft in a row taking meatballs, I think. No, yeah, and I've gotten great value both times. All right, a lot on the board. Yeah. Not for me. Yeah. Nashville hot chicken would have been good, too. I was between that and the banh mi at the end. I thought about a po' boy. A po' boy. A po' boy. I had on there tuna. That's what Shane said. A tuna salad. A tuna melt. I personally love a tuna melt, but that won't look good on a graph. Chicken salad. Chicken salad.

is very good uh i don't like a chicken salad sandwich though i'm okay with chicken salad i love it with some chips in it yeah crunch uh i do love peanut butter and jelly i also love peanut butter and fluff and peanut butter and banana sausage and cheese also would be kind of a cop-out move it's like doing like chicken club when someone said turkey club but that's fine what about a hamburger i mean i did fucking i did i did uh he did sex like it's i didn't do that to you

Hank, you're not chill right now. Okay, so Max says mix common, but then I make common. I got your back. I got your back. Got it. You're right. Yeah, you're right. Got it. No, I was just saying I was thinking about doing sausage, egg, and cheese, but...

It was a little close to a bacon egg and cheese. Yeah, he didn't do it. Beef on whack would have been good, too. Yep. Beef on whack. That's similar to a French dip. It's a buffalo thing. You've been to Buffalo with us? Yeah, I've never gotten there. It's like a poppy seed. When we go to Buffalo, we go to Wingnuts for lunch and dinner every day. Pulled pork. Pulled pork's very good. A Philly roast pork sandwich is one of the best sandwiches that you can get. Yes, it is. It's so good. Broccoli rabe on there.

No, not D'Alessandro's. Why am I blanking on this? Steve's? No, what the fuck? Why am I blanking? Arby's? John's Roast Pork. John's Roast Pork. I think D'Alessandro's is where we got it from. It was good. Well, D'Alessandro's is a big cheesesteak spot. Yeah, it was very good. Sausage and peppers. That's...

Kind of a... No, that's kind of a hot dog. It's a hot dog. I do... That is a good sub. No, sausage and peppers is... I think it's a little different. It's on a... Yeah. Because the peppers make it more... Yeah. I don't know. I had it on there, but it's too close to a hot dog. Hamburger, I was thinking about it. It's the same thing as a hot dog. Yeah, you can't do it. It's not a sandwich. Tip of the cap to a hamburger. I also thought like... How is it different? Are subs and sandwiches the same thing? Yeah. Are you still on this? What? What?

I mean, I call it a hoagie, but I'm not going to be the one. But it's crazy you're still on this because hot dog is the same thing. But again, you would have picked all the subs. I know.

So you agree with us that our picks were correct, but now that you didn't get them, you're like... I'm just acquiring mine. Also, Cubano is on a sub-type role. You're 1-1. Yeah, well, once the floodgates opened, then I jumped in. Oh, you would have picked that! If we had done this draft again and were like, Pink, you get the first three picks, you would have gone Italian, chicken parm, cheese. No, I got my 1-2. Cubano going in the first... I love a Cubano. It's a good sandwich. No.

No, yeah, that's fair. You've seen Chef? Yeah, I've seen Chef. It's a great movie. Panini? Yeah, panini sandwich is good. Yeah, you got to say, I like a chicken pesto panini. I was going to say, I like a turkey sun-dried tomato provolone. Yeah, that's a good one as well. Yeah, that's a good one. I love how animated Max gets about these food drafts. Food drafts are great. We should keep them coming. What about the, what's the sandwich with no meat? Loaded ball era. They're serving up meatballs.

Not for Hank. He couldn't. What's the...

What is it? I don't even know what the name of it is when it's just fresh mozzarella and tomato. Caprese? Yeah, that's a good one. Listen, I eat meat on every single meal, but that's the one time I'll be like, that's fine. It's the Italian grilled cheese. Yeah, you get the balsamic. Except for it's not grilled, but it's good. It's fresh. It tastes fresh. Yes, fresh. Fresh. Yeah. Ham and cheese, not bad. Yeah. I like ham and cheese. Ham and cheese is one of those ones that like once a year, I'll be like, man, I really want a ham and cheese. Kind of like...

Oh, I thought you were going to say cocaine. Well, Mortadella has changed the game with bologna. You can get a Mortadella sandwich, and that's the same thing as bologna, but it's acceptable. Every now and then I'm like, I kind of want a bologna sandwich. Try bologna sandwich. Peanut butter and fluff. I said that. Yeah, I said that. Peanut butter and fluff and peanut butter and banana. Banana's good, yeah. Peanut butter and banana is elite. Mayo. Just mayo sandwich? Just mayo? So you have BLT, mayo. I'm joking.

BLT is a great pick. There's more than one. You can build around BLT. I did. Yeah. Well. What was it again? Cubano, BLT. Chicken Club. Reuben. That's a great draft. When's the last time you had a Reuben? Never. Yeah, that's the thing. I kept asking Hank what meat is on a Reuben, and he never answered. Beef. Beef.

Kind of. No, it's corned beef. Corned beef, right? Pastrami is another sandwich once or twice a year. Papa Shrami. Yeah. Papa Shrami, melted Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard. Are there any we're forgetting? No.

I feel like there's one big one. Tuna melt was one that I actually thought would have gone in this draft. Yeah. I love a tuna melt, but there's so many people that hate tuna melts. Yeah, I feel like tuna just gets a bad rap because of the smell. And people complain about it. Because if you break out tuna, yeah, it does. Like, you should only eat tuna at home. But eating tuna at home is great. Yeah. Like, tuna is a great sandwich. Shane gets a tuna sandwich once a week. Yeah, he should be in prison. Yeah, you can't do that at work.

You did it at home. He also, there's one place that he's found that doesn't put, it's only tuna and mayo. They don't put celery in it. Oh. And he refuses to eat anything with any tuna that has like anything but tuna and mayo. Oh, no. You got to go celery, onions, sometimes carrots. Yeah. Like he gets disgusted when he orders tuna and it comes with,

Anything but tuna. Oh, another one that's like every now and then, like every three months, egg salad sandwich. I get a weird craving for it. I don't like the egg salad sandwich. I love an egg salad sandwich. I thought of it. We love every sandwich. God damn it, we are. We literally are saying every sandwich. We are.

What about pimento cheese? Never had one of those. No, I think pimento cheese is overrated. Never had one. That's my take. I like a roast beef, just like a... There's better cheese. The problem with pimento cheese is there's absolutely no crunch or hard factor in there. It's just soft. Just soft-ass sandwich. Right. Any other sandwiches we love, Max?

I don't know. A regular turkey. Yeah, well, I was going between that, but a turkey club just adds the bacon. Yeah, no, it's true. A regular roast beef. Good sandwich. I don't think anyone took just fried chicken sandwich, right? That was a big mess. Like a Chick-fil-A. Yeah, that's a big mess. Yeah. That's actually a huge, huge taco. Yeah.

A taco sandwich? Taco sandwich. Chalupa sandwich. I never had a torta. Wait, so subs are different. Wraps are not sandwiches. Again, I just wanted it on the record. You were going to take all the subs, but because you didn't get one, you're mad. No, I'm just trying to figure out what bread counts as a sandwich and what bread doesn't. Like a wrap, like a taco is not a sandwich. Correct. But a sub is. Correct. I feel like we've been pretty consistent on that. And again, you would have picked all the subs. I wasn't. Would you have picked all the subs? Yeah. Yeah.

My list was chicken parm, steak and cheese, Italian. What about a gyro? Does that count as a sandwich? No. Just a normal chicken cutlet. Yeah. That's one that people will be upset about. I guess it's chicken club. Chicken club, yeah. Lunchables are pretty good, too. Lunchables are good. I just find it funny that you guys rattle off a thousand sandwiches, but the only one that I brought up, Max, is like, oh, chicken club. Well, yeah.

You just did that. You said why you did that. No, you made me think. You said turkey club. I was like, actually, chicken club's better. So I picked it. But...

It's because PFT said during sacks. Yeah, the sacks thing. That's why you said that pick. It's residual. You're holding onto this. Well, no, that's like, yeah, it's like there's no, you know, there's clearly no, it's not a gentleman's Rushmore anymore. Well, I lost. Has it ever been a gentleman's Rushmore? Back in my day. At least I used to think it was. Hank, what are you, I lost that pick. Or you guys started loading the teams together. Honestly, if I could go back and do one thing to change the course of part of my take, my answer would be,

to never do the pizza topping draft. From that moment on, Hank has been the biggest baby about Mount Rushmore. You guys ruined the integrity of the sport. It's a seminal moment in our history. We were trying to help you. You had lost so many drafts in a row. You guys ruined the integrity of the sport. Double anchovies. Double olives, yeah. Hank also just said you stack the teams. Your teammate last year is in first place right now. Oh, that's interesting.

Long season, buddy. Yeah, but like you can't just be like you stack the team. That had nothing to do with the person. It was the two hosts, you idiot. They're still hosts. Yeah, but now they're on the same team. It's different. That's the whole point. You just proved my point. Hank, I think the comments are going to say you're being a baby. I don't give a fuck.

Be a little baby right now. He said it every single day. Someone did say that we're getting along. Like, they listened to Wednesday's show. They're like, you guys are getting along too well. Like, fix this. Start shitting on Hank and Michael. I don't think we are. We were shitting on Hank on Wednesday. Maybe it was Max's. Like, they don't like that Max's. We're getting along with Max.

It is what it is. I'm used to it. Yeah, I mean, you take the bullets for us. Yeah. Happy to do it. That's what you're here for. I don't think you're happy to do it. You also have had the best run ever. You had to know that people were going to find. Yeah, I mean, look at this background. Look where we are. We're going to golf? When? No. Okay.

All right. Good Mount Rushmore, boys. Great Mount Rushmore. All right. We're going to get to Blake and Josh in a second. They're brought to you by Coors Light. I love Coors Light.

Okay, we now welcome on two very, very, very, very special guests. It is Chill Week, presented by Coors Light and Chevy Silverado. It's our good friends, Josh Allen and Blake Griffin. We just basically decided to have you guys on to tell us why you love us. Yeah, take it away, but you were telling me about it. Um...

There's, I think, what do we have? Three reasons? Yeah, we had three. We kind of went through three really good ones. I'll do the first one. You do the second one. Okay, all right. And we'll say the third one at the same time. Yeah, yeah. You make us laugh. Okay, yeah, we do. You're funny. Yeah. It's kind of the same as number one. And you're ugly as shit. Oh, yeah. Okay, okay. Ugly as shit.

That's good. It makes us feel better knowing that you guys are funny, but you're also... Ugly as shit. Yeah, I think that's valid. That's valid criticism. Blake, I saw you were just on our good friend Stavi's podcast. That was very funny. He asked you what you were going to plug. Like, were you there to plug anything? And you said, just think about me from time to time. Don't forget, man. Don't forget Blake Griffin. I'm on board with that message. In fact, I'll go one further.

We're going to plug Blake's top 48 dunks compilation on YouTube. Oh, cool. Go watch that. Go watch that YouTube clip of Blake. What about you, Josh? You want to plug anything? What about all your work in the community? I will also plug his top 48 dunks. Oh, man. Really nice. We could talk about your work in the community. We could. Yeah. Did you ever see that clip? The Bills, when we were at the Bills training camp last year, they came up to us, the Bills PR. They're like, hey, can we do a quick interview with you guys? And we're like, yeah, sure.

And they were like, can you guys talk about Josh's work in the community? And we're just like...

Yeah, dude, like he's all the work he does in the community is incredible. Like we don't know what you do. But it's good. I'm like, dude, no one does more for the community. I'm assuming I would actually also like to plug his work. I would assume that is good work in the community. So we're like, yeah, we appreciate it. But I don't know. It's very good work. Yeah. He's like, Josh, flip me off. Josh burned down a library yesterday.

All right, so we're here for the American Century Championship out in Lake Tahoe. The tournament you can watch on NBC. It's going to be awesome. How are we feeling about our golf game? I'll start with you, Josh. Feeling okay. Every year I've come to this, I think this is my fourth or fifth year. Okay. And I've gotten better every single year. Yeah. So just got to keep going.

What's the highest you finished? I think I was like mid-40s last year. What was the lowest? Oh, probably like 90-something. Okay. Yeah. So we're looking to improve this year? 30s? Looking to improve. You give me in the 30s? Yep. That's a good – because that means I'm probably shooting anywhere from 75 to 80 all three days. That's good. We'll take that. I heard that you were actually getting too good at golf. Keon Coleman said that you're so good at golf that you won't golf with him.

It's Keon. Yeah. He's got to earn his stripes. Yeah, he's got to earn his stripes, you know? Yeah, he's a rookie. That's Keon, man. Wait, you remember Keon? I tell you what, if I had a nickel every time, Keon didn't want to play golf. Actually, he's a clip machine, though. He is a clip machine. I'll tell you what, we went to Topgolf.

And the dude can actually swing. He swings it hard and it goes a long way, but you don't know where it's going. Yeah. But he's actually got a decent swing first thing. He can't play. Yeah. Keon is – you should know Keon, Blake, because he's a perfect guy for the NBA to NFL, NFL to NBA thing. Oh, yeah. He averaged like one point a game at Michigan State, and then he was an incredible wide receiver at Florida State. By the way, guys who average one, two, three are getting drafted. Yeah, that's true. That is true. Don't knock them. Yeah.

Why is that funny? Why is that funny? It's off potential. It is. That is. Why is that funny? That's not funny. That's not funny. That's true, though. They do get drafted. All right, so Blake, how's your golf game? I'm more of a Keon type of golfer. You know, you never know where it's going. Range felt good today, but... He looks good. Thanks, man. Thanks. Yeah, I need that. I need every bit of confidence. This is my first time, so...

We'll see. Yeah. But you've been playing. I mean, you're retired. So you've been playing golf nonstop. I have been playing a lot more. What's your handicap? It's 12, 13. Did you say 12? 13. 13. But you never know. It's 15. You just might step out there and be sick. Yeah, you could just be awesome that day. I mean, listen, I'm just hoping to eliminate double bogeys. You know, bogeys don't kill you, right? Is that what it is? Bogeys are fine. Bogeys are zero. Doubles are minus two.

And then you pick it up after a double. A par is great. Plus three for hitting someone in the crowd. I'm starting negative three? Yeah.

You get points for hitting people. Oh, sweet. Yeah. So you're good. You're good. You also just cheat. There's no rules against cheating. Yeah. Well, I think all the rules are against cheating. And golf is like the one sport you're really not supposed to cheat. Every single rule, actually, is against cheating. Right, because it takes away guys like me who shot a 72 at Shinnecock. By the way, people don't talk about that enough. Thank you.

Thank you. Yeah, it was a hell of a day. I was feeling it. I was feeling it. Which one of you guys could play the other guy's sport better?

He could play football better. Did you play basketball growing up? A little bit. Yeah, that means no? Through high school. Okay. Yeah. So obviously you can dunk easily. Blake can't anymore. Not like him. Not like him. Well. I don't know. I'm a rim grazer is what they say. A little finger tip. I can do like a two hand every once in a while. Have you guys heard about Hank is trying to dunk? I have. How's that going?

Summer's gotten away from me a little bit. You want to talk about Mike? Do we have another Mike? What do you think is holding you back? Come over here. I think maybe genetics. Yeah, I was going to say DNA mostly probably. Are you doing those like, you remember those old basketball shoes? The circle ones at the bottom? I said genetics, age, booze. Yeah. Okay. Summer. Summer. But I told the summer. Yeah.

I'm just gonna walk in in September. September's actually the best month to walk in. We're like here. We just gotta get to like here. So you're a grazer. Oh, okay. I can touch the rim. I can almost grab it. Well, can you palm the ball? Yeah, no, wait. This is not dunking. If you're not palming the ball, you gotta get here. You know. Womp City. Oh.

Oh, yeah. Oh, oh. Yeah, my bad, dude. There's a few dunks of his on the top 48 that technically he never touched the rim. That is true. Thanks, Ryan. I think it was against the Sixers. They don't always have to touch the rim. Do you remember that? It was like two plays in a row where Chris Paul just threw it up to you. The back-to-back windmills. Back-to-back windmills. That must have felt sick. You probably felt like, God. Yeah, it was fun. I'm just going near and near.

Just floating. Honestly, I can't. It feels pretty cool. Yeah. It feels pretty cool. It's got to be awesome. Can't do it anymore, though. More of a ground walker now. Yeah. Just kind of keep it on the ground. Blake, I saw you were signing autographs, and you signed every single autograph except one. Yeah. Did you miss that one intentionally? Wait, did I actually? Yeah. Oh, no. But he showed up a little bit late, and it was the only reason I noticed it was the only one that was a Piston jersey. Oh, I didn't see him.

No. I swear to God. I signed four Pistons cards. No, it was a picture of you in a Pistons jersey. He came in at the end. Oh, yeah, because he has the blue marker. I don't sign with the blue marker. You don't sign with the blue marker. You didn't see him, but I just saw it, and I was like, that's funny if he was just not going to sign Pistons jerseys. No, I signed another Pistons jersey. Yeah, you did sign everything. Hank, just another reason why I can't dunk. No, I was up. I was in bed watching videos last night, and I came across your return to –

Against the Clippers as the Pistons. Oh, yeah. What a game. Oh, thanks, man. Yeah. Thanks, Hank. Good job. Good job, Hank. Inspirational. Good job. Clipper for life.

And now, here's more Blake Griffin and Josh Allen. Oh, we do have big Josh Allen news breaking today. Oh, yeah. The other Josh Allen changed his name. Yeah, I saw that. So he's no longer Josh Allen. He's Joshua? He's Joshua Hines Allen. Whoa. So you made another man. There was another one? It's kind of an alpha move on your part. Yeah, on the Jaguars. You beat him out. Yeah.

You don't watch any football. By the way, by the way, congrats, man. You literally made a guy change his name. You're so good. You made a guy change his name. He knows like some guys get to a new team and they want the jersey, so they pay the money for the jersey. He was trying to pay me for my name, but I just wouldn't take it. That was their first. Well, Blake, you made Brooks change his name. Yeah. That's true. Yeah, to Blake. Who was the last year's Blake of the year? Bortles. It's coming up next week, too. No, Brooks never won.

And I think we're going to do a phone call again and Brooks has the British Open. Oh, man.

He just gets screwed every year. That might be good then. Because depending on what time of day, that might be in the afternoon. Yeah, maybe. He's probably playing. Just let him down softly or do you just drop the hammer? No, he actually is getting like each year you can see the progression of it eating away at him. He's like, I have not won one. What does it take to be a Blake? It's just really just the vibes. I feel like I would have answered that. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's true. You go, Blake. It feels like the guy named Blake. I'll handle that one.

What does it take to be a Blake? That's a great question. I think just the vibe. That's a good question. All right, so what does it take to be a Blake? Good question. That's a great answer. All right, what does it take to be a Blake? I just said it. No, just answer it. Oh, I mean, you got to do a lot of good work in the community. Yep, facts. You have to make somebody change their name. By the way, you're on track. You're close. And then, I don't know, man, third, I guess.

From our perspective, it's being insanely good at something, professional sport, but still being a regular guy.

Like Blake and Brooks and Blake Bortles all reached the top of their profession and they were just the same guy. Just a couple of regulars. Yeah. So it's pretty cool. It's a compliment to be a Blake. Yeah. There have been people that are asking me if my dog is going to be in Blake of the Year. I'm formally announcing my dog Blake will not be in Blake of the Year this year.

I think he's eligible for a comeback Blake of the year. Yeah, he might be. He had double elbow surgery, but I think... Oh, God. You gotta earn that. Sorry, you gotta earn that. I'm not laughing at that. No, I mean, it's funny to say when a dog has double elbows. Double elbow surgery? I love dogs. I love dogs. He's good. He's good. That's the hardest I've ever seen you laugh. We were hanging in that Sarah McLaughlin commercial that came on. He just died laughing.

- Turn this shit up real quick. - If there's one thing I, yeah. - How many dogs do you have? - Your favorite dog on three?

One, two, three. Dober, yep. That felt like a pity. Yeah, I don't know. I just felt like that's what you're going with. Do you have any dogs, Josh? It's hard to tell who he's looking at. Yeah, Josh. I'm talking to Josh. But you're looking over here. Do you have any dogs? Talking to me? I'm talking to Josh. I do not right now. Oh, so you don't really love dogs. Yeah, I do love dogs. Blake, do you have any dogs? Yeah, I've got a cream golden retriever. Oh, you really love dogs. What's his name? Her name.

That's insane, man. That's insane. Talk about bad work in the community. Her name. Honey. What's her name? Honey. Beautiful dog. Are you going to get a dog, Josh? You're just planning on it? Are you going to adopt or are you going to shop? Adopt. Adopt. The good thing about when you adopt a dog is their elbows are great.

They're fantastic elbows. Yeah. Yeah. Probably. Some of the best elbows out there. Were they the same legs? The same front leg and back leg? Were they staggered? Both his front. So in the back, they got knees. And in the front, they got elbows. Really? Yeah. So he had like double Tommy John. So he's going to come back throwing harder than ever.

Smart. Yeah. Walking around. Yeah. Yeah. No, he's a beast. What do you guys say to, oftentimes we get some criticism on this podcast that we glaze you guys a little too much. Oh, wow. What do we say to that? It's kind of bullshit because we love you guys, but the haters are always like, oh, you're going to glaze your boys. You're just going to say they're awesome. I'll tell you what, I'm a sucker for a glazed donut. Yeah? Yeah, by the way. Glazed donuts. Yeah.

That's pretty much it, right? Yeah. I think that encompasses the whole glaze category. We need something to come back at them, though. No, we don't. That's a good one. Why can't you boost your boys up, though? Nuh-uh. Why can't you boost your boys up? It's crazy. You know what? Next time that happens, I'll tweet something. All right. Maybe. Yeah. The glazing accusations were at an all-time high last year. Yeah, they're crazy. All-time high. Yeah. And I feel like it's backwards when you talk about glazing because, you know, glazing, you can –

Understand what that means. No, but when you're glazing somebody explain it to ejaculate. Oh, oh, no, that's on a donut Yeah, they're saying we're coming But in reality we it would make more sense if we were the ones getting glazed Oh, we're doing good about you guys put on some nice like librarian glasses. Yeah, I

Then we're getting glazed by you guys. So actually, they've got it wrong. Now they seem like the dumb ones. Yeah. You seem great. Reverse glazers. Yeah. All right, I'll ask an easier question. Josh, you very much want to win a Super Bowl with the Bills. Bring the Bills a Super Bowl win.

would be incredible. Have you thought, this is a new move, have you thought about retiring and then the Bills will win a Super Bowl? Because that's kind of a thing that's going around. If you retire, the team you were last on wins. Sometimes you've got to make a sacrifice. You can answer. If that's what it took, I would do it. Oh, wow. That's huge for the Bills. If I could, can I say? Yeah, guarantee it. Because that's what Blake did. He guaranteed it. Yeah. Yeah, I would do it. Yeah. Yeah.

I did that. He's like, I'm going to do this. I love how you said we're going to ease your question. You just shit on me. I mean, that's an old trick of the trade. I sacrificed myself to the pit last year. Yeah. Do you respect the pit? I love the pit. Yes, feed the pit. So what's going on with the pit? Can you give like a background story to the uninitiated? So the pit was the hole that our new stadium is being built on. Oh, yeah. And people were trying to get some sneak peeks and stuff.

Every game day, someone got a little too intoxicated, fell into the pit.

This is Buffalo. We started going on a win streak when the first person that fell in the pit. So every game, someone miraculously fell into the pit. This offseason, I went down to the pit and sacrificed myself. You know what? That's, by the way, work for the community. Yes, that's the community. I think you actually mean that, though, when you say that if it was guaranteed, you would retire. Yeah, I would. To bring the Bill to the Super Bowl. Yeah. I feel like I would have a part, whether I played or not. Right.

You'd be in the – that's – Blake feels the same way. Yeah. They were like, no, come back. And I was like, no, guys. I want you guys to win. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Dude, Blake, please. Did you think that it was a little bit of stolen valor that Hank celebrated like he had won the championship on Joe Musco? No, that's just Boston, man. You grew up in Boston. Not that I grew up there.

You diehard Boston fan, after being there for a year, I know. They take their sport seriously. That's why they're probably the best fans in basketball. Wow, that's a slap in the Clippers fan's face. I mean, they're the most loyal. Yeah, that's probably true. They've been through some dark times. Yeah, that's true. Definitely the most loyal, but Boston fans, man, can't say enough about them. So, no, I don't think it was stolen valor. Hank, got your back, dude. Yeah, he did look –

awesome out there. I disagree. Yeah, what? Missoula, just really. You think it was Stolen Valor? Go off, Josh. He's glazing. He's part of the Missoula family. He's getting reverse glazed. That was laid on a little thick by Hank. Yeah. What do you think about the fact that Hank went to try to take a picture with Kristaps Porzingis and it was actually Sam Houser? Joey Houser. Sam Houser's brother. Yeah. I mean, honestly, it's better than

One of the other guys on the team. If you would confuse two other guys, I don't know. Let's say, no. I'm actually, it's fine. But they do look alike. You thought you were taking a picture with Sam and you took one with Joey. No, he thought he was taking a picture with Kristaps and he went up to Joey. That's tough. I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout out Joey Hauser. And Sam. It's a good point by Blake, though. If you went up to like Jalen and you're like, Jason, let me get a picture with you.

That would be bad. Yeah. That's why I brought it up. That would have been real bad. Great synopsis. That's awesome. We're going to come to that conclusion. Josh, last time we had Blake on, we played a really fun game where we found out that he played with, what was it, six Williams? Yeah, a lot of Williams. Williams. So I did a little research. What is the last name you think you've played with the most in the NFL?

This is our favorite game. Blake loves it. He actually asked me to do this again. Yeah, this is great. What do you think? It's a pretty common last name. Brown? No. Johnson. Johnson. Can you name all the Johnsons? Oh, shit. Johnson. Johnson. Yeah. How many Johnsons have you played with? Good question. Who are you looking at? Both of you can answer. Because I have the amount of Johnsons you've played with too, Blake. How many is it? It is...

Six Johnson's. Me? Can you name them? Blake, you played with five Johnson's. Five Johnson's plus one, so that's six. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so can you name all your Johnson's? I got one for sure. Ty Johnson. Okay. That translates to cock ring. Leaving off a teammate. I know. I'm going to do it. But there's a 53-man roster. It's just hard. Dante, Kevin.

Daryl? Yep, Daryl Johnson. Jaquan? Jaquan Johnson. And Duke Johnson. What about you, Blake? Can you name yours? Tyler Johnson, Joe Johnson. That technically counts if they're on my training camp roster, right? No. You actually are 0 for 2. I played with Tyler Johnson. Maybe you have six. I'm going to give you bonus points. James, Bryce, Elise? Alizé. Alizé, I knew that. Wesley and Stanley.

I was going to get there. How many Johnsons have you guys played with? One. One? Yeah, this one. Name them. Little cat. They weren't very good. You also played with four Williams. Blake has played with six. Darryl Williams. Yep. Is there any jealousy on that? Yep. Dorian Williams. Yep. There's actually a repeat first name from Johnson and Williams. It's a basketball. Yep. Williams. Yep.

This is the best podcasting we do. Do you know if he's offense or defense? I don't. What is his start? How many is he at? Three? He's at three. And there's four? Yeah. There's one more. One more. You got this, dude. Come on. Come on. Antonio Williams. Yes. Got it. All right. And that wraps up our segment, Fun with Last Names. Yeah. That was good, right? Was that fun? It was great. Thanks. Really cool.

Really cool. We've played with a lot of Johnsons. Yeah, we sure have. That's why we come on this podcast, man. Josh, you've got a dirty mind. Last year, some would say that you cursed the Buffalo Bills.

When you deez nuts us on our own podcast. See, that's what I... I was very hesitant on the Johnson question because of the reason. Yeah, yeah. Did you see him get us last year? I did see it. I saw it. Room 40. Yeah, it was juvenile. Kind of took off. Yeah, they made a room in Wingnuts called Room 40. You were talking about some wing place, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It was good times. Good times. Good stuff. You got us good. I sat down and I looked at you guys like, they're going to try to get me. So...

I've been locked in. We're gullible. We're idiots. Blake, are you having a podcast coming out? No. With you guys? Yeah. Just this episode, probably. Do you have a show coming out? What's next for Blake Griffin?

We got some stuff in the works. Fuck yes. Me and the hot to a girl. Yeah. Not, not together separately. Yeah. Both have things in the works. Yeah. Um, it sounded like you guys are working on something. Um, yeah, I got some stuff. I, nothing I can say right now. Can we get a cameo? Yeah. Do you want, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got you. We've been asking. Done. Word is bomb. So yeah.

There it is. I mean, Jimmy Tate, our good friend. You can come on too if you want. Yeah, just released his new movie. And we asked if he could give us a cameo. And he was like, yeah, for sure. And then the movie came out and there was like a major storyline about podcasters. And we just didn't get a cameo. It was like the most easy way for us to be worth it. It was like, damn. So we're in search of the cameo. Maybe the sequel will get you in there. Is it fun not having a job?

Yeah, it's pretty cool. It seems awesome. Pretty cool. I mean, and honestly, it was a job, so I had to sacrifice myself for Celtics to win. It does feel like I did just finish the season. It's been pretty cool the last three or four weeks. Yeah, you take a few weeks off to recover. Yeah, just victory lap right now. Do you get bored at any time? Not really, no. There's plenty of stuff to do in the world. All right, that's good. Yeah. What's your favorite thing to do? Uh.

Golf. Yeah. Yes. Yep. Yep. Yep. Not to keep rehashing this, but work in the community. Yep. Work in the community. He does great work in the community. I didn't know that. Yep. That's honestly it. That's it. Is it weird that you are in SEC school now? It is. Yeah. It's going to be weird. I'm a little worried. It just means more, though, right? That's what they say? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wow. That's what they say. Nice. It does mean more. It does mean more. Yeah. It is weird, though.

It is weird. It's going to be weird, but it's going to be pretty sweet going to like, you know. LSU. Yeah, Alabama. Every school. Those are going to be fun. It also takes away some of the rivalries, though, like you and Oklahoma State. Yeah, but you still have Texas, which is like the big, you know, still have the big Texas game. Yeah, Horn Sound. There you go. Automatic Horn Sound penalty. We can blur this out. I don't know if you can put this on YouTube. Yeah, we can do it. Horn Sound. Horn Sound. Demonetized.

Horns down. If Wyoming had played in the SEC. Yeah. Sorry, I didn't mean that. What would have happened? You guys would have won a couple games. Yeah. You played some big boys in your junior year. Oregon, yeah, Nebraska. Yeah, that was. We got Wax versus Oregon and Nebraska. Yeah. Beat Boise State, though. Yep. They were 13th in the nation. Yep. There you go. On the blue turf? No, at home. Okay, on the yellow turf, on the piss yellow turf. Yeah.

There's the end zones. The end zones. Yeah, the end zones. Going back and watching the bowl game, it was us versus Central Michigan on the blue turf. Yeah. It's like the worst visual game you could ever watch. It's awful. It's kind of sick, though. Wait, where did Josh play college football? You just said it. Yeah. Come on.

Come on, dude. Montana State. There you go. Come on, man. There you go. They don't know how far we go back. Go Grizz. Get you into some football, Blake. I do like football. Sorry I didn't know. The only Josh Allen I mess with is this Josh Allen. Right there. Only one in the game. Still got it. Two-time Blake of the Year? Yes. Potentially? Three. He's three times. He's going for four next week. Gotcha. Gotcha. Yes. That's a big time. That's impressive. We'll have a new contest Josh Allen of the Year. You're the only one in the NFL. Yeah.

That's true. You better fucking win. Technically, yeah. Yeah. Can Josh Allen win the big one? We'll find out. Boy, Joshua wishes he kept his name the same, doesn't he? All right. I got a couple last questions. Let's do the Roback question. Roback.com. Promo code TAKE. 20% off your first purchase. Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com. Promo code TAKE.

I'll tell you what, Big Cat has been getting... 20% off. He's been getting so good at this fucking ad read. I thought he was reading it somewhere. The last nine people we've had on this podcast have stopped in front of the question and be like, what was that? They just watched Jimmy Page play Stairway to Heaven. I just memorized two sentences. Did you do it backwards? Fuck no, I don't even know where to start. It starts with take, because it's promo code take. No, but if you actually say the words backwards? No, not the words backwards. Do it in reverse order. Take...

Code promo. Shorts, joggers, hoodies, Q-Zips, polos? Not even close. Fuck. All right, rollback question. That's how dialed in. 20% off first purchase. Q-Zips, sweatshirts. How long are you guys off the tee? How long? Oh, oh. Um...

I mean, if it goes straight, I could hit it 300. Nice. Josh? Doesn't go straight often. But out of straight, I could probably hit like 300. Maybe a little further? Yeah. Yeah, Josh. I was hoping you went 301. 301.

Yes. They got a long drive hole out here that they're tracking. Everybody, you win something if you get the longest drive. They said Travis Kelsey last year hit it 360 yards. Holy shit. Off the tee. Oh, yeah. Elevation. And he can hit it far. And he's strong. He's so strong. Very strong. He is strong. He is so strong. He's a strong boy. Yeah. Strong boy. I don't want to sound disrespectful, but, Blake, I feel like you should be able to hit the ball further than 300 yards. I mean, yeah. Listen, I'm going to try my hardest, but –

Who knows? Have a little faith in yourself. Blake, are you going to work for J.J. Redick in the Lakers? Yeah, actually, can I make an announcement? Yeah. Happy for J.J. Oh, okay. Had you not said that publicly yet? I don't think so. Okay, all right. I said it to some people, and I said it to him. It is crazy that he's the coach of the Lakers. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I mean, if he's as equipped to do that as anyone. Yeah.

So, yeah, I'm excited for him. But, no, I'm not going to get into coaching. I am also happy for JJ. Okay, nice. That's two big announcements. Good. Wait, what? You're not? You don't like JJ Redick? Max doesn't like JJ Redick. Max, do you have a question for the guys? You said you did. Okay. No Philly-based questions. Yeah, go ahead.

Oh, wow. He said, you both play different sports. That really confused this whole conversation. Can I just throw one out? Do you enjoy playing in Philly? That question's

Okay. You didn't have one, so that stings worse. He uses his question to tell you that your question stunk. I don't have a question. I think his question is actually, you guys play two different sports. Oh, yeah. What's that like? Do you guys like sports? Even though you play different ones? How does it work? You guys play two different sports. Oh, Blake, I did have a question for you, though, because Joe Mazzulla said that he would send you a ring.

He actually did say that. Did he? Yeah. Is this mid-season? No, this is I think after they won, right? Yeah. That's interesting. I greatly appreciate that sentiment, but I'm truly so happy for those guys. And, you know, they deserved it. And again, I did my part, but I don't want the ring. You know what I mean? Yes. Was I a huge part of the team? Yes. Could they have done it with me? No. So,

So, you know, I think that that equals noting. Yeah, maybe a tribute video. That'd be nice. Oh, that would be nice. Have you watched the Clippers show? I did not watch it, no. That's got to be weird having a show that someone, an actor's playing in life. Everybody asks me if I've watched it. What I want to say is, like, I lived it, but that sounds weird. Oh, that's cool to say. I think it's true. No, I didn't watch it. I lived it.

It does sound kind of badass when you say it that way. Thanks, man. There's a show about Donald Sterling. What's Showtime? Clipped. It's FX, I think. FX, Clipped. Yeah, so there's a guy playing Blake Griffin. Dude, that's sick. Does he look like you? No. Once you see the guy, you're going to be like, no, that's not sick. I'm going to pull it up right now. So you didn't work with this actor to show him how to be more Blake? I didn't. I think he sent in probably like a submission tape, and they were like,

You can just dye his hair, right? That was it. Can you at least, like, shoot? I haven't watched it. Oh, yeah, you haven't watched it. I've just seen a bunch of, like, pictures. I'm not watching it because you're not watching it. I stand in solidarity. We're not going to watch it. We're just not going to do it. Smart. Is this real? Is this a real...

Picture right here? Is that supposed to be Chris Paul and Blake Griffin? I would have expected these guys would have met with you so that they could be like, hey, which fire alarm did you pull when the Rockets were trying to fight you? Oh, yeah. I pulled all of them. Yeah. Get method. Call the police. All right. Well, we love both of you guys. Sorry for glazing so much, but that's why I like...

To be sincere for a second, the best part about this podcast is becoming real friends with some of the guys we've had on. Both of you are definitely in that category. We want Josh to keep winning football games. We want Blake to keep not getting bored.

Forget about me. Do not forget about Blake Griffin. Actually, it'd be nice. Okay, here's an idea that popped my head. When they do the My Cause, My Cleats, maybe it's just Blake Griffin on your cleats. Everyone's going, wait, did he die?

I just felt like people should think about him more. We just got to remember him, yeah. Don't forget about him. Dude, you got to do that. Some sick, like, sick art. Yeah, him dunking. Throw out some stats. Upwards of 450 million Americans forget about Blake Curry every year.

The best I'm walking out. Gotta get them. That would be great for the community. That would be great for the community. Great for my community. Thanks in advance. Appreciate it. All the community work. I got you. Well, thank you, boys. Good luck this week. Thank you. Everyone watch Root for Blake and Josh. Is there a show, Blake and Josh? I could change one. Well, no. No?

no no you can't no we're a week away dude we're a week away from blake of the year it knocks him down in my and also you yeah i'm gonna ask it and then i change it back before the next one but also it's about being a blake is about it's in here yeah that's right that's right in here we could do a podcast that we're gonna rival you guys do blake and josh bring it on our coaching tree

Yeah. Yeah. We'd just be like, see what we did. I mean, JJ, look at our coaching tree. One of them is a coach of the Lakers. Yeah. He has shown us that if anything, we should be coaching the NBA as podcasters. Yeah.

I mean, he went from a podcast to coaching the NBA. Oh, we got it. Yeah. No, no, Josh didn't. We play different sports, so it's impossible to talk. All right. All right. Serious. Which one of your balls is better football or basketball? Oh, good question. What ball is better? Yeah. Which,

Which ball? I think football is obviously a better. I think for basketball, football is probably also better. But if you had to take one ball for the rest of your life. Imagine dunking with a football. Right back in the face. You're on a desert island. Here's the thing about it. Basketball is like, you know, you can dribble it. But like if you don't have a hoop, then at least you can play catch with a football. So you're saying football. Imagine throwing some lobs.

Full court with the football. Oh, yeah. You can't dribble a football, though. You can. Yeah, you can. Put the right angle on it. Yeah, you do that. You do the little quarterback spin. You think it looks cool. Yeah. And then you spin it in your hand. Yeah. So cool. God, those guys are cool. How cool does it feel to just go like this on your shoulder pads, Josh?

It's very relaxing. Yeah. That's my favorite. I'd sometimes do that just in polo shirts, just standing around like this. That is nice. We had LifeVest on yesterday, and we were just going like this. We were wakeboarding. No big deal. We know how to wakeboard now. Nice. All right. Thank you, boys. Thank you, guys. Crush it this week. Blake and Josh. Just win it. Blake and Josh. What if you guys... 2034. If you guys go 1-2...

I don't know if you win anything. They do a lot for charity. I think they do. I think there's cash. Yeah. If you go one, two... They do like a two-main competition we can get in. Mike and Andy won last year, too. Okay. Oh, what is that? Like a...

Oh, like just during the tournament? Two guys can – oh, wow. Didn't know that. All right, maybe teamed up. Don't know much about this tournament. Yeah, you'll learn. You know Mike and Andy, right? No, I'm not falling for this. He's trying to get us. Wait, wait, Josh. No, no. Josh, Josh, Josh. That was on the info sheet. Who's Mike and Andy? We don't need to get into it. Don't patronize me, John.

That was a good try. I feel like there is a Mike and Andy. Yeah, Mike and Andy. We don't know who they are. Who's Mike and Andy? Mike and Andy who? Mike and Andy. And cut. Okay. All right. See you guys. That interview was brought to you by Chevy. As everyone knows, this is a Chevy truck podcast.

The greatest trucks ever built and our good friends at Chevrolet have been a big part of part of my take story. From the Silverado helping us dig the biggest hole ever dug in Ohio during Grit Week, to Silverado partnering with us to give college fullbacks all the rightful recognition that they deserve with the Low Man Award, to our nonstop cross-country trip to the Super Bowl in L.A., it was behind the wheel of a Chevy Silverado. Silverado has been a part of it all.

Chevy Silverado, longtime awesome partner of the show, a truck with commanding, unstoppable grit, legendary capability, and dependability too. So find out for yourself like so many other AWLs. Head to Chevy.com to check out all the Chevy truck grit. Build your own Silverado. For do-it-yourself projects to road trips, off-road adventures to tailgates, whatever your thing is, it all starts with a Chevy truck. Okay, boys, let's wrap up chill week. It's been an awesome, awesome week.

with FIRE Fest, F-I-R-E of the week, because we're going to be in the chill mindset first before we do that. Hank, how do you think Mount Rushmore went?

I thought it didn't go as bad as you guys are making me think like it did. I think we'll let the poll decide for itself. True. But I feel okay. Yeah? Yeah. I thought it was very funny. It was funny. We didn't really have a lot of prep time. We only had a couple hours. Also, I think my prep time was two minutes in my head. It's sandwiches. Yeah.

You eat them. Yeah, you guys are eaters. I'm not. Hank's also came up with the idea. Oh, yeah, you're the one who came up with it. Oh, shit. Hank also eats his sandwiches sideways, like a harmonica. I thought it went great. Yeah, I think so, too. It's been fun hanging out this weekend. I've had a great time. I know you guys think I'm bad vibes. No, I don't think you're bad vibes. I think you have things that make the

the vibes turn bad sometimes. Your face. Your facial expressions. When you do your facial expressions, they can sometimes turn bad. All right, Fire Fest of the Week. Hank? Yeah, mine's kind of just like a Fire Fest of the Month. I've been doing a lot of reflecting and I realize that

The Brady Day was June 12th. It's basically July 12th. The last month has been one of the craziest of my life. And just seeing all the AWLs out at all these events, whether it was Brady Night, the Celtics Parade, all week here, it just is very surreal. And I know we kind of get used to it.

because it just happens all the time. But it's like sometimes when I'm in my hotel or just sitting at my house, I'm just like this. I'm like the LeBron. I can't believe this is my life. Yeah, big time. So my Fyre Fest is just the AWLs and the community that this podcast has brought. And it's just...

It's insane. Yeah, think about how far you've come in just like the last year and a half, two years. Everywhere you go, people just yell random numbers at you for the lottery ball machine. And now they're just Team Hank. Yeah, it's great. People are supportive of the haircut. They're just... It's just...

AWLs are the best. That's my fire. We really got to get people yelling random numbers at Max. Yeah. That's because he's. Well, Max gets the two sodas, which we've seen a few times. That makes me laugh pretty hard. Every time. Yeah. Makes me laugh every time. Max, where are the two sodas? Where was that? Was that here? Yeah. Yeah.

What? A guy brought two sodas in from Exit A. Yeah. Okay, yeah. It's been a long week. Every time I go to a bar, I get two. And they think it's like the most unique, funny thing ever. It is. It's funny. It does make everyone around me laugh. Yeah, it makes me laugh every time. Memes, are you getting recognized now? Come on. Memes doesn't go out, though, either. Yeah. No, I'm saying out here. No one said, hey, Memes.

I wonder if pug memes, we have been around, you know, with, with celebrities, even like, cause even like when we're walking around, we were, you know, with Kyle, you check, he's a 49er. We're in the Bay area. Everyone's yelling at him, but like, there's also a ton of people yelling at it. It's the area. That's closer than Hank usually gets with his geography. Um,

There's a lot of 49er fans here. Yes, that's fair. We're on the West Coast. He has a ton of fans here. Yeah. But there's also a ton of people yelling at PFT and myself, and that's always like in those moments when we're with actual celebrities and actual athletes where I'm just like, I can't believe. Same thing as the parade when it's like I'm on the boat with the head coach of the Celtics and I have people yelling at me like that. That's the type of stuff that just, you know.

blows my mind still to this day. We were talking about it at dinner last night. Like we have to compartmentalize it because we have to do our job and have fun and bust balls. But like the growth of this show, we go out to the driving range and like,

A bunch of these guys who we've been looking up to for all this time come up to us. They know who we are. It's like, oh, fuck. Spencer Coletti. Yeah, Stephen Coletti. Stephen Coletti, Jesus. Who's listening right now. Sorry, Stephen. Sorry, Stephen. Jesus Christ, dude. Miles Teller and I talked about the sphere for like 20 minutes on Wednesday. It was just the most casual conversation. You are close to the sphere. Can you feel it?

I really want to go right now. Yeah, the Spears in the Bay area. Spears in the Bay area. I really want to go right now. There is a bay over there. Nope, not a bay. It's a lake. It's a lake. All right, I was trying to... It's called Lake Tahoe. It's a hidden gem. One of the hidden gems. Lake of the year. We got to get Miles Teller back on the show, though. That guy rocks. Absolutely rocks. It's also very funny watching all these...

super famous athletes, movie stars, comedians. Golf is like the ultimate equalizer that the most confident people in the world, you go up to them in the driving range, you're like, how you doing? They're like, I fucking suck. I've asked, I'm like, you think you're going to make a run there? I'll just go, no. Yeah.

- Right, right, so it's like you see the weakness of like, the golf brings everyone to their knees. - I think the one guy that actually might have a chance that we got to meet is Derek Carr. - Yeah. - Derek Carr might have a chance this weekend. I was walking around the driving range and I wasn't up close enough to see who everyone was yet,

And I saw something happen. I was like, oh my God, that guy almost got killed by that other guy. It was about a half inch away from a devastating head injury that would have just like probably killed the guy. Then I get closer and I'm like, oh my God, that guy that almost got killed. That's John Elway. John Elway almost died on this driving range. Then I get a little bit closer and

I'm like, holy shit, that was Derek Carr. Almost killed John Elway? Derek Carr came about half an inch away from killing John Elway today, which would have been the craziest sports story ever. That would have been nuts. Also giving Derek Carr a little bit of bad boy street cred. Yeah. And the Raiders would probably welcome him back. We also saw that one golf cart crash that rocked. Yeah, that was fun. Yeah. Old guys crashing golf carts is very fun. And it was an old guy on the back of a golf cart getting rear-ended by another golf cart.

It was just cool to watch. It was. I know that everyone was okay. It was cool to watch. Yeah. Yeah. All right, PFT? My FIRE Fest, F-I-R-E Fest of the week. I mean, I echo everything that Hank said. It's been very cool out here. But I would say my baby's coming home.

My baby's coming home when I get back. Wow. What? Yeah. The El Camino. Oh. Yeah. Nice. It should be fixed. Fully fixed? We had a slight hiccup last week. You could say F-I-R-E. Yeah, no. Yeah, yeah. The hiccup is over, I think. We're post-hiccup. I dropped it off before vacation.

And the guy was like, I'm going to give you a call back tomorrow. I'll give you the full quote, everything that needs to happen to it. I didn't hear from him for a long time. And I was coming back from vacation. I still hadn't heard from this guy. And I called, left a message.

No return call. Called again, left a message. No return call. I thought there was an outside chance that this guy just straight up stole my El Camino. And I would never hear from him again. In which case, tip of the cap to that guy. Runs a pretty good racket. But then he called me back a couple days ago, gave me the breakdown of everything. I think we're back in business. I think starting next week...

I think it's going to be an awesome August. I'm going to be cruising that bad boy everywhere. Speakers working great on it. Tested those out. I just can't wait. I did get a seatbelt installed, which might be a beta move on my part. I just don't want to die if I get into an accident. No, I think that's probably also, like, if you ever get pulled over, you probably want a seatbelt. Yeah, it's legally mandated in the state of Illinois. But I'm very much looking forward to...

pulling up to a lot of places that are too classy for an El Camino in an El Camino. Hell yes. I just want to get kicked out of somewhere pulling up with just revving that engine. Oh, it's sweet. That rocks. And nothing bad's ever going to happen to it. That rocks. Ever again. Okay, my Fyre Fest, I just have had a great time hanging with the boys. We just had, like...

Playing frisbee golf was awesome. We got to do that more. Dinners. We did a team dinner in our suite on Tuesday night. Grilled and chilled. Grilled and chilled. We went out to dinner at maybe the best vibes ever bar that had live music that was just as chill as possible. Just hanging with Hank, PFT, and I. Spent some time in the hot tub last night.

We almost got in the hot tub where the jets weren't working, and we then realized it would just be the three of us sitting in a bathtub together. Also chill. Also chill. Yeah, but it was... I don't know. It's just fun being on the road with the boys. Yeah. It is. And we fired Greg Berhalter. And we fired Greg Berhalter. And Hank...

Has not had bad vibes, except for that one time. There have been fewer bad vibes than usual. Yeah, he's been very good vibes. Today, Hank was like, I don't know what got into him today. Maybe he got a lot of sleep, but he was like intern Hank. He was running around, grabbing food, grabbing waters. What do you need? What do you this? Just trying to be an asset. Yeah, it was incredible. I think it's just being on a golf course. Yeah. It brings the best out of him. That was...

One funny story was This is a misconception You don't even know what the story is yet I do What do you think the story is? Do you want to tell it?

Uh, yeah. So Blake Griffin, we were, me and PFT, the plan was we shot, uh, PFT like was with you, Jack, you know, shooting a video. I was shooting the video too. I also got to, you know, run it back on the, on the camera. You said that after you're like, I still got it back on the sticks. Uh, memes said opposite. Oh no. Yeah.

I still don't got it. I did hear that Hank had to ask memes all the time. Like, how do I turn this off? Oh, no, no, no, no. I just was, it took me a minute to get used to the learning experience. Oh, he had to relearn. So not like riding a bike. Well, no, they just have a different way that they shoot golf videos. And I was just, I, it took me a hole. It took me one hole to, to figure it out. Okay. But I figured it out. It was good to be beyond the sticks. And then PFT, I mean, big cat and Blake were also going to do the same thing. And it's going to be one video. Um,

Blake was showing up late. We didn't know if we were going to be able to get out there. And I said, maybe once the afternoon round ends, they'll let us all go out and play. And we can go.

I meant you guys. No, you said we. I said we. Yeah, we're a collective. It's us. It's brand. It's podcast. We is us. Hank's also been talking because we're going to do this every year now. And again, thank you to American Century Championship. They've been incredible hosts and Edgewood especially. They've just been awesome. But Hank's already planned out how many times he's going to play this course. He's like, we're going to play it Monday. We're going to play it Tuesday. Yeah, he did try to sneak in a tee time yesterday.

You did? No. Well, no, he implied it. Oh, yeah, that was, yeah. We're going to play this course next year. It's sick. I mean, yeah, I like to play golf. When you're walking around a golf course, you can't help but think, like,

What if I was playing? Yeah. Also, the tournament's going to be on NBC and Peacock all weekend, so watch it because it's – I'm going to watch it. It's like all these guys are competing. They're all the most competitive guys in the world, and the setting is insane. The vibe at the 17th hole is all the time. It's on the water. There's people that are on boats screaming, throwing footballs at people. It's par three. Yeah, the hole is Bay Area. It's right on the bay. Yeah, it is. It's literally Bay Area. All right.

Good week, boys. Let's kick it back to ourselves. We got a lottery ball. Okay, let's wrap up the week. Numbers. 86. 20. 19. 3. Max, are you ever going to get this? Nope. 21. This would suck if it was 56, Max, because you just had 56 two seconds ago. Doesn't matter. I'm never going to get it. Oh, I don't like he's doing reverse psychology. He's learned. Yeah. 42. Jackie Robinson.

Love you guys. Everybody, please. We made that a must-win. I'll be coming for you anyway.
