Boy, now we live with violence And I'm not allowed to solve the work we've done

We're going to rock.

It's a part of my take presented by Barstool Sports. Today is Wednesday, July 24th, and Hank, we have an issue.

We're in school right now, Hank. You're a teacher. Are you ready for your assignment? I am. You are. Are you really? All right, so the back story here is our darling Jake texted PFT and I. Oh, no. Fuck. Oh, you're not ready. I thought we were talking about the whale thing. No. No, no, no, Hank. No. You had an assignment for me. No. Our darling Jake texted PFT and I and said, I have three, three different reminders set for this week. The first reminder, which...

You know what? We can do another time because we have a bunch of stuff going on right now and Hank's traveling on Thursday. Agreed. Yep. No, that is not yours. We're going to do NFL coaches draft. Yeah. We did last year. We did that last year. It was fantastic. Current NFL coaches draft. So we'll do that. A lot of mics. We also had a reminder to do all-time rankings for position groups. So it would be like if you're taking the Vikings wide receivers. Yeah. Yeah.

you know, Randy Moss and Chris Carter and Justin Jefferson, whatever. Um, we'll do that as well. Uh, at some point, but today, Oh no, sorry. You have till Friday. He has till Friday. You're supposed to teach us an econ class. Eastern Connecticut. No, no. The economics. I have no idea where this came from. I forget the context behind it, but Hank said that he would teach us an economics class econ one-on-one class. I know you're not ready right now. Um,

But you'll be ready for Friday. I'm not going to be here Friday. Oh, so you already failed. You. Incomplete. No, I'll give you guys A's, so then we pass. No, we're going to do it. You have to teach the class. I want to learn. I didn't take econ. I didn't.

I literally never got past Algebra 2. So what's a fair amount? There's a difference. One's a math class. The other is economics. Yeah. What's a fair time frame? How much time do you need to teach us Econ 101? We want to see what Hank Lockwood comes up with Econ 101.

Maybe we do it on the bus a great week. Okay. I like that. While we're driving. Do you want to do that? Can you tie it into sports? Maybe teach us what the salary cap is? Oh. Okay. Second apron? Yep. Get that going? I would like you to become a capologist. Not just because you lie all the time. I want you to teach us about this. If you became our capologist, this show would go to the moon. I'm not saying that you're holding us back, but that specific thing is definitely holding us back. Yeah. Yeah, I'll try. I mean, I...

struggle with you know multiplication tables same you're teaching dumb students too just so you know like i'm uh math and i have never gotten along ever oil and water i would have liked jake to have texted you that but that's all right yeah that's okay he kind of set you up yeah but also he was being he was being responsible he's texting us the rivalry continues yeah yeah in the afterlife jake is getting you he's haunting you uh okay so that was the i mean i i

It's a slow time in sports, but we saw that. We saw it. We're like, holy shit, we have to address this. The listeners are going to be like, where's the econ class? We thought we were getting an econ class. And the NFL coaches draft and the all-time ranking groups for position groups. Let's do the NFL coaching draft while you do the econ draft. We'll do a combo. We're going to get so lost in that snake. Yeah. It's going to be insane. So it'll be like lesson, round of the draft. Lesson, round of the draft.

That's that's some I don't think anyone's ever done that on a podcast. I like this. I like this is going to be use the listeners purposefully. Yeah, it's terrible audio. It's going to be educational. Yeah, I do have an economics question as it pertains to the NFL. Oh, do you think that Jordan Love deserves to be the highest paid quarterback in football? Listen, highest paid player in football. Here's here's what I'm gonna say about Jordan Love real quick. I don't.

This has nothing to do with him being a Packer. He's holding out right now for people who aren't paying attention. He's holding out. He's not going to practice. He's holding in, though. He's holding in. He's not going to practice with his team until he gets his new contract. I can't remember a player ever doing this.

This is one of the most selfish things I've ever seen a player do. I don't remember. Someone can show me a time that a player has been like, I'm not playing until I get my contract. That would be the first I've ever seen of it because as far as I know, Jordan Love is the first player to do this, and it's disgusting. And if you were his teammate, you know what?

I would like, Huey, can you please set up an anonymous tips email? Any Packers players that want to reach out anonymously and tell us about Jordan Love being so selfish that he's not going to training camp, we will hear you out and we'll keep you 100% anonymous and we'll read your story for the world on Friday.

This is the downside to the Packers of the way that they do their quarterback system. Yeah. They draft a guy and let him sit for a while, and then they get out there and they play one half of the season, like one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and now it's like, shit, now we have to pay him immediately. Yeah. They don't get any of those. The window is stuffed. Yeah, their guys are too good that they have to pay him right away. Let me ask you a question, PFT. If you were a fan of a team, would you rather your quarterback win the Heisman Trophy? Yes. Yes. But miss...

Two days of mini camp or an entire week of

maybe more of training camp training camp um which one comes after phase me phase me is training camp okay training camp comes afterwards i'm gonna say i would rather have my quarterback miss minicamp i wait wait wait is it mandatory minicamp uh kind of it's a little bit it's understand we don't really know we don't know is it it's excused not excused that was gonna be my follow-up question partially excused i would say if it's an excused missing of mandatory minicamp yes and

If it's an unexcused missing a voluntary mini camp, no, I don't want that guy anywhere near my team. Okay, so I bring this up because Aaron Rodgers has shown up to training camp, which was up in the air because if you remember on Monday's show, he said when we asked him if he was going to training camp, he said, yeah, probably.

as first reported by us. The yeah part won out. So Aaron Rodgers is at training camp. The most important time of team building of the entire season is building your team during training camp. Aaron Rodgers is at training camp. Jordan Love is not at training camp.

Is Aaron Rodgers less of a diva than Jordan Love? Miss me yet? Hmm. Yeah. Interesting to think about. This is a good lesson in the economy because the market is speaking right now and it's saying that Jordan Love, if they do, I think they will make him the highest paid –

Like per year. I don't know what the grand total is going to do. He's 32 years old. Yeah. So making Jordan Love the highest paid quarterback after such a small sample, that's the free market in the NFL. Yeah, it is. It's one of those situations where you have to pay him. Yeah, I think they'll, what would you guess? Thursday? Thursday?

Maybe even today. Yeah, it could be today. Today he'll get paid and he'll just be back at camp and it'll be nothing. So the current highest paid player per year is Joe Burrow. He gets $55 million a year. Which? Just signed his contract. Also, I hand up, spent way too much time this morning thinking about Joe Burrow's hair. Yeah, so he shaved his head and then he bleached his head. Yes. So he looks like Eminem right now. So the shaved head, I was like, Bengals are going to win the Super Bowl.

All business. It almost looked like a mug shot. He's like, I don't need hair. You look great. I don't need any of these frills. Better than you. That was mean. The bleached hair, I can't figure out. It does look like Eminem. It looks like straight out of 1998. But that feels like fashion Joe. I was totally in on Joe Burrow being like, I'm going to training camp. I'm going to shave my head like a Marine. And this is war this season. But then to bleach it.

Like late 90s. But wait, what I think is going to happen, I think this is just team building. This is just a guy being a dude. Letting them make fun of him? Letting them make fun of him during training camp. And then I think once the regular season starts, then it's business hair. I like that. It's back to business for Joe. I like that. I predict he will not play an NFL game with bleached hair. Yeah, Hank, by the way, what you said...

So wait, not one single game? I don't think, not a regular season. Yeah, because he is going to play in the preseason this year. Yeah, do you want to bet on it? Anyone want to take the other side? I don't. I agree with you. I think he'll go back. Yeah, I agree with you. I agree with your assessment. Hank, what I was going to say was that was mean of me, but I think we found out that shaving your head was never a punishment because you, I haven't even noticed.

Yeah, I was a shaved head guy until I was like 20 because my friend did haircuts and I was too broke to get other haircuts. So yeah, you just go. I just rock the buzz. You go out, you buy one of those clippers and then you're number three. Yeah. So if you don't do the econ lesson on Grit Week, you got to reshave. Not the back. Oh, come on.

I'm going to do the econ. Okay. Hank, you know already, you know so much about econ already. It's true. How to not pay taxes. False. Everything. How to make more money by not paying taxes. Yeah. All these things. I am going to think about, I will be at the beach this weekend. I might try and get some sun in or like get my hair blonde. Yeah. So Joe Burrow. Yeah. Okay. Me and Flight said that a couple years ago. It gets blonde and red real fast. We'll find out. A little ginger. We do need a ginger on this podcast. Yeah.

I've been raw dogging the sun this summer, by the way. I haven't been using any sunscreen. Paws. Yeah. It might be a problem. I feel like it's a problem. What? Are you laughing about the paws? I said the sun.

You didn't say which. No, you didn't say I spelled it. No, you're a pervert. I don't know if it was a you or a pervert. We talked about a pervert. Talked about brawny a lot recently. That's gross. Yeah, I should probably start putting on sunscreen. But it's nice having a tan because when you're fat, you just got to. If you can't tone it, you got to tan it. I haven't used a single ounce of sunscreen. It doesn't feel like a manly thing. I know. Again, this is not something people should do. We are not role models. Charles Barkley, blah, blah, blah.

Something about just raw dog in the sun What I like to do is I go out for the first hour No sunscreen And then I put it on Get a little base coat going But yeah you can't If you're going on a vacation You can't do the first day sunscreen-less Because then you just ruin the whole trip I just get yeah But I don't really burn that bad so Get that swarthy olive skin Yeah Us Italians Me and Max

Jewish and Italian have very similar skin. Yeah, and I'm an Italian father. Yeah. So, okay. Other quarterback I wanted to talk about, you guys see Bryce Young coming in? I did see Bryce Young. Like me, he had an accidental six-year-old day.

It happens from time to time. Swagless. Do you have a backpack on? Yeah. Yeah, you got to ditch the backpack. Either that or go like full steam ahead with it and rock a SpongeBob backpack. Yeah. Swagless. That was tough. Yeah. He doesn't. I'm not inspired by Bryce Young. Yeah, because I was like. Especially when your last name is Young. Yeah. And he was kind of. I was toying around with the idea of being like maybe buy stock in Bryce Young this year.

You know, because there's always one guy that everyone's written off. And then I saw that. Again, it's a four-second clip. This is how we consume our NFL in this part of the summer. It's basically...

Long pass in practice. Don't think about the fact that they also threw six picks and guys walking into the building on day one. How do they look? There's that. Yeah, the walk up when you show up to training camp and some guys drive those like spider cars in. Yeah. You rent a car for that day for the first entrance. The Packers on the bicycles. Kind of weird.

And then the cameras that they set up for the social team when the players are coming off practice and they're asking, like, is water wet as they're leaving the practice field? That's training camp. That's the whole training camp. Is your team about to get into a fight? Yeah. That's training camp. Are they ready to hit somebody else? Yeah. Are they tired of hitting each other? Yeah. How bad is Lamar Jackson's diarrhea? Bad. Bad. Two days bad. What team do you think will have a report about there being an actual fight over NCAA?

Oh, I didn't even think about that. What team has the biggest mix of different SEC players? That's a good one, Hank. Because, oh man, I'm so jealous of everyone who's been able to just basically fuck off for the last two weeks and just do nothing but play this game. Because I've not played... You have mentally, in a way. Yeah, I mean, when I'm playing, it's on stream. I've had very little practice time. But I'm talking about...

The dude who's listening to this right now, who's 27 years old, single, no kids, nothing, no responsibilities, doesn't have roommates, so maybe a little bit past the roommate time, and

And he's working a nine to five and he has played this game a hundred hours in the last seven days. That guy is my hero. The guy whose apartment is just the folding chair, the TV, and that's it. Yeah. He just has been like, I'm not going to talk to anyone. I'm not going out. I'm just going to rip dynasties for the next seven days or probably more than that. A couple of weeks until they like resurface forever.

into regular civilization, that guy is living the dream. I think this might be the first day in the sports calendar year, at least for the last 10 years, where the optimal day to get a vasectomy is not before March Madness. Yeah. It was right before this game came out. Yeah. But even then, if you're getting a vasectomy, that means you have kids. That means you're probably not playing the game. Probably not playing as much. Like, I just don't... A recreational vasectomy? I had a very sad...

conversation with our friend Scott Van Pelt because he loves this game and he was like, I think I just don't have... I'm washed and I don't think I have the amount of time that I need to get good at it. And it's like a very... It was almost like a heartbreaking conversation I was having with him. It was like, this is...

This is a really sad thing that we're talking about. Guys can't have hobbies. They can't just fuck off from the entire world for 10 days and be like, I need to work on my recruiting for Coastal Carolina. That would actually be a great thing for dads to be able to do. Just adults in general.

Spend a week where you're essentially in prison, but it's a prison of your own choosing where you get to bring like a piece of technology in there. Yeah. You get to sleep however much you want. Don't have to look at phone calls. Don't have to deal with work. No emails. The best out of office email reply ever set up. Yep. And just have a week where you don't do shit. So I do. I play this game. Yeah. I play this game. What were we talking about?

Lamar Jackson's butt. Oh, the teams. Anyone going to get in a fight over it? Oh, yeah. Which team? Good question, Hank. Which team most likely? That is a fair question. Hmm. Feels to me like it could be from the AFC South. I'm going to say the Jaguars. I don't know why. I was thinking that, too. Yeah, Jaguars. Oh, okay. Jaguars are going to fight over this. Let's do it. Is Christian Kirk on the Jaguars still? He's a gamer, right? I don't know if he's still on the Jaguars, but...

Oh, I mean the Cardinals. Kyler Murray. Yeah, Cardinals. Kyler Murray's going to get his ass kicked this week. We got to do new faces soon. Yeah, we got to do that whole maybe get a quiz going.

Here we can set it up. By the way, I just want to say, because I know I'm going to get a lot of replies being like, dude, you have a dream job. I agree. I just wish I had more free time to be able to just fuck off and play college football. That's all. Yeah. I mean, I'm very jealous of all those guys who have that right now. It is nice. It's the best. It is nice. Just know this. Just take this.

If you're one of the people I just described, just take one second out of your day and be like, yeah, I am living in the good old days. You think that's why Joe Biden dropped out? Yeah, probably. More time to play college football? Yes. Delaware State, national champions? Definitely playing on freshman mode. Yeah. He's playing Grand Theft Auto. He's like, I love this college football game. All right. Any other sports stories that we can talk about?

olympics coming up yeah i got one of those in my hot seat cool throne okay oh yeah lebron did save or was that it no it wasn't lebron did save team usa we were playing against germany yep uh aaron rogers very conflicted which was a good guy in that game i watched that clip back that was crazy yeah it was that he took a second he's like were we i think he's just i think aaron is so he's in a mode now where he just questions everything which i don't have a problem with because i think those type of people we need more uh but

He was thinking about questioning World War II, and then he stopped himself. He kind of stopped himself. I also think, yeah, you're right. He just likes to say, were we? Yeah. Are we? Just to kind of let you know that he thinks that he's smarter than you sometimes. Yeah. But in that context, if I remember the conversation correctly, I think he was replying more to the fact that you said...

He was talking about dropping the bombs. Yes, yes. And so he's saying, were we good for dropping the bombs? Yes, that is 100% up to debate. Yeah, so LeBron saved Team USA. He saved Team USA from Germany. We were losing, then we were winning, then we were losing again, and then he made a basket at the end. Yeah, with his offhand. Oh, yeah.

Well, was it? Yeah. I think he made a... Was it not with his right? It was right-handed? Yeah. Yeah, his offhand. His offhand. He's beating everyone in offhand competitions because he's actually a lefty. And his offhand is his right hand, which he's shot with for 40 years. Yep. Okay. We have a big, big story coming out of the SEC. And that is that they've decided which team is going to be UT. Oh. Texas or Tennessee. Who do you think is UT, Big Cat? This is huge. Yeah.

I mean, I think Tennessee gets the rights to it, but when I think of UT, I feel like I say Tennessee, and when I think of UT, I say Texas. Yep.

If Tennessee wants it, they deserve it. That's fair because they've been in the SEC. The SEC agrees. Texas is Tex. Tex. Oh, this is for the graphic. I'm an idiot. I was thinking of just casual conversation. They're going to police everyone's language. We will. Yeah, no, Tennessee should get

Ah, they should, you know, it should be like a Midas Touch. Is that the right? No, King Solomon? Cut it in half. Cut it in half. It should just be 10 and Tex. 10 and Tex? I like when it's T-E-N-N. Yeah, I think that's what it is. Yeah, so they're not getting UT? No, no, I think it's Tex, T-E-X. UT is now Tennessee. But I'm saying I think I've seen T-E-N-N. Yeah, yeah, that's what I like. Yeah. So neither of them got UT? No, Tennessee did.

But they're going with 10. No. Tennessee is UT. Got it. Yeah. I wish they would stay as 10. I think they decided this based on which orange was better. And it's Tennessee orange. It's Tennessee. It's Tennessee. Yeah, Tennessee gets right to this. I have no problem with that. Yeah. But I do like when the scoreboard says T-E-N-N. People are big mad about this in Texas.

Well, it shouldn't have changed conferences. Yep. Also, the Big Ten Conference is going to keep the championship game in D until 2028, which just is so great. Because if you're a USC or UCLA fan, you probably said to yourself, I'll never be in Indianapolis. Or Rutgers. Well, they still won't. But USC and UCLA fans are definitely pissed. They're pretty mad about this. Probably not UCLA. USC and Oregon?

Yeah, UCLA is probably like, oh, okay, noted. Yeah, okay, we can clear that schedule. And then also we have, there's more smoke going around about the 18-game schedule. Yeah, so the NFLPA and the NFL have had discussions about the 18-game schedule. I think we figured it out with Joe Burrow. Yeah. When we talked before the bleach got to it. Double bye. They said double bye and then Super Bowl. It's been a no-brainer.

To have the Super Bowl on President's Day weekend. No offense to Lincoln. But yeah, that's how the schedule should line up. Yeah, and it basically eliminates winter. Yeah. Because if you have football on, winter doesn't exist. I mean, I know it can be cold, but if you have something to look forward to,

being football on the weekend. You can get through the week. Yeah, so how are they going to... Is this going to affect... Obviously, it'll affect revenue. So that would mean that salaries go up. Do we get anything more? And then... We got to work more. Yeah, we should get more. Whoever the next quarterback is, is it still Tua? Is it Tua after Jordan Love? I thought Tua was supposed to be this before Jordan Love, but I think we just passed Tua. It's kind of...

At one point, it was great for Tua to see all these deals getting done. Yeah. And then at some point, it became bad for Tua where he's like, am I going to get my long-term deal? Yeah. And then it'll be CJ Stroud soon. Well, I guess he has to go three years first. Yeah, I guess Tua. Did Tua get lost? Yeah. I think Tua got a party. He's going to be a fun one. I cannot wait for the Brock party, of course. That's going to be so great. Yeah. What were you going to say, Max? You had something to say? No.

Memes, Winston. Were Tua and Jordan Love in the same draft class? Yes. It was Herbert, Burrow, Tua. Well, we can find out very quickly. 2020. I think he was. I think Jordan Love was like the 22nd pick or something in that draft class because it was the COVID draft, right? Yeah. Chase Young draft.

Yes. Yes, he was. The answer is yes. And he was picked 26. So, yeah, Tua should be in Herbert and Joe Burrow and, yeah, have all been paid. So Jordan Love's going to get paid. Man, this is going to be a hell of a draft class for quarterbacks. It is going to be wild, yeah. That's nuts. Were you drafting a quarterback that year? Me? Yeah. Jalen Hurts also in this draft class.

We were talking about first round quarter. We should have. We're talking about guys that are the guys. You said draft class. Chase Young that year almost had the opportunity to draft Joe Burrow. Or Justin Herbert. Or Justin Herbert. But Max, have you heard the rumors that they're not going to be running the push push this year?

They're not running as much. I want the rest of the NFL to think that. Because Jason Kelsey. No Jason Kelsey. Yeah, but have you heard that Jason Kelsey's been in the locker room? He's got a locker in the coach's office, and he's been in more than any of the other players. Is he a coach? He's a coach. He's going to come back. He's Coach Jason. And he's an ESPN analyst? Yep. Seems like conflict of interest. Wait, so he's going to play this year?

No, but he's been in the locker helping the boys. I feel like he's going to play this year. He didn't look like he had lost. He looked good. Yeah, he didn't look like he had lost a bunch of weight or anything. He looked good. If you have an injury, God forbid, at the center position, God forbid, you think Jason Kelsey is not going to come back if he has an office in the building? And the team's good?

Listen, if he wants to come back, I would love to have him, but I want him to enjoy his life. Because if he came back, this would be an even better tush-push because you'd have Saquon behind him. Yeah. You want whatever's best for Jason Kelce. That's like 1,200 pounds worth of squats in the backfield pushing forward.

Yeah, no, there's some thighs back there. Yeah. Yeah, man. There's some thighs. You creeped me out the way that you said that. Yeah, some thighs. Yeah, so I guess Tua's got to, maybe we should just start, I mean, we are part of Tuna, maybe we should be like, hey, what about Tua? Tua awareness? Yeah, what the fuck's happening? The Hawk Tua girl stole his thunder. Yeah, we need Tua to get paid. Come on, Mike McDaniel, spit on that thing.

Okay, let's do hot sea cool drone. And then we have the Mount Rushmore of breakfast foods.

Just found out today, Mark Titus will be in Columbus that weekend. He'll be joining us on stage. He's going to try to follow up Max's performance, which is going to be tough to beat.

If you haven't been to a Pop Punk show, they absolutely rock. Okay. Hot seat, cool drone. Hank. My hot seat...

There was a viral video today of a whale essentially breaching, and it seemed like it was attacking or knocking over a boat on purpose. Yeah. William Football reported it's an angry whale basically attacked a boat. How does he know if he was mad? Right. That's what people were trying to say. Got it. Seems like they're already blaming the whale. That's what I'm saying. And people were giving me shit for picking blue whales on orcas. I...

I've said this before. Orcas are cool, but they're like a cursed animal. Why? Because of Tilikum. I forgot about Tilikum. Turned evil. What about Jim Irsay's whale? I guess that whale was cursed too.

Tilikum was the one in Blackfish. Oh, yeah. The one whose dorsal fin started to fold over because it was sad. Got it. And orcas weren't predatory or as evil as they are. They're fighting back. Yeah, they basically... They are called killer whales. But they weren't killer whales until Tilikum, whatever. I feel bad for orcas, but...

Whatever. Then this blue whale video came out and everyone was saying this is like what orcas do. This is a killer whale move. Not true. I don't think that's a blue whale in this video. It's a whale, but it's not a killer whale. A blue whale would have been... No, I'm saying when people were giving me shit for my blue whale pic, this is in the same video. The whale did look blue. It kind of did. But it's not a blue whale. But it is a blue whale. Yeah, blue whales kind of cucked everyone with the blue. Yeah, we're the only ones. Because there's a lot of blue whales. Yeah. We're the white podcasters. Yeah.

I reached out to a whale photographer. Yeah. Got some intel. What's his or her name? Her name's Erica. Shout out to Erica for filling me in. Thank you, Erica. How's her furniture store doing? I said the whales weren't doing this on purpose, right? She said, no, the whales are just trying to eat. When there are schools of small fish all bunched up, anchovies, et cetera, whales will come in and try to eat them. The fishermen are trying to fish out the small fish.

What are they doing? I don't know why they're trying to fish out the small fish. The whale can't see the boat. They have eyes on the side of their head. So the boat is just in the way. So it's an accident. Accident. Okay. So yeah, and the boat right of way in water is always the bigger boat has right of way. Is that true, Hank? It is. The smaller boat, what, is it not?

Probably. You took a boating class. I feel like that should be the one thing. That should be the first thing they teach you. What direction you're going in. No, but if you're a bigger boat, it's harder to maneuver. You have the right of way. Do you not? It depends on the situation. I'm not getting on Hank's boat. If I'm in a kayak and you're in a barge, who has the right of way? Motorboats. Motorboats. Okay, if I'm in a dinghy and you're in a barge, who has the right of way? Are we going in the same direction? We're going right at each other.

Oh, no. It's easier for the smaller boat to get out of the way. Yes, that's what I'm saying. Yes. Yes. The bigger boat has the right of way. The whale has the right of way. Are you sure you took a boat safety class? Well, no. It depends on direction. What other direction would matter? If you're going the same direction? Like if you're coming up and the boat's going straight. T-bone? Are you talking about T-bone? Yeah. The bigger one. The smaller boat will stop. Yeah. So the bigger one still has the right of way.

But if it was reversed and the smaller boat was going this way and the bigger boat was coming this way. I think the bigger boat would still have the right of way. You're talking about just two boats colliding into each other. I don't know what you mean when you... Are you saying if... It's like roads. But the smaller boat is always the one that has to get out of the way, no? But if it's like 10 feet versus 20 feet, it's... Well, then they wouldn't hit each other if it was 10 feet versus... What are you talking about? Wait, what do you mean 10 feet versus 20 feet? What are you talking about? He's saying if one boat...

Are you saying if one boat is 10 feet in front of the other? If a 10-foot boat, a 20-foot boat, it depends on the direction on who has the right of way. A 20-foot boat would have it because they're bigger. That's not true. I'm pretty sure the ocean is actually how the world should work. Bigger things get the right of way. There's shipping lanes. Either way. This is how it should always be, Max. The bigger you are, the more right of way you get.

I don't think he took a cut. It was not an evil. Those were not. There's going to be a lot. Those whales are not attacking. There's going to be a lot of corrections on this. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was not an evil whale is what you're saying. Correct. The whale was just being a whale. Correct. And the boat happened to have been in the way. Correct. Wrong place, wrong time. Also, the whale was much bigger than the boat. Therefore, the whale had right of way. Sure. Did they arrest the whale? No. Are they going to kill the whale like in Jaws? Did they at least get his license plate? No. Okay. This is a problem.

What did you just say? So what's your hot seat? Oh, he Googled it. He Googled it. I'm not even a boater. Oh, no. Much bigger than yours have the right of way. Okay. But not, not. 20 double a 10 foot boat. You're not going to stand there and be like, that's a 23 foot boat. I got a 20 footer. A 20 foot boat is literally double the size. In theory, there are plenty of situations where they do not have the right of way. In theory? What theory?

They have the right of way. Are you reading a blog post? If another vessel is approaching you from the port or left side of your boat, so it depends on the direction. Oh, there's no way that's what you're doing. That's exactly what I said. What's starboard? You did not take a boat in class. You just said port or left side a second ago. Right. I knew that. Which one's Republican? What's the bow? Starboard or port?

All right, my cool throne is Trump. Okay. Stick to sports, but he's a very good golfer. Yeah, he looks awesome against Bryson. He did a video with Bryson, and he was impressive. What did he shoot? They did. It's a series Bryson does called Breaking 50, where him and one other person try and break 50 playing from the front tees.

So, like, every par four is drivable. Even par fives are drivable. Did they do it? I think they shot minus 22. So, I think 50 or maybe 49. Did they do best ball or did they do scramble or what? Scramble. Damn. But Trump had two solo birdies and a solo eagle, like, on his own ball. From the front tee. Yeah. But if you or I or PFT was playing with Bryson –

It's doubtful that we would have as... I would hope Brooks is a better golfer than me because he golfs. Yeah, but he's 79. What happened on the first hole? He's saying he's old? Yeah. Wow. You didn't say that about Joe Biden a week ago. What happened on the first hole when we played against Brooks? Right. We weren't playing with Brooks, though. If we were playing with Brooks, we would have used his drive. No. No, I don't think so. Mine had a better lie. Got it. Better angle. Shit. He got you there, PFT, I think.

What did he do with it? What did he do with it? He made a bird. He made an eagle. Yeah. Sick. Yeah. Okay. PFT, your hot seat cool turn. That was a very good hot seat cool turn. Thanks. That was good. Who was on the hot seat, though? Whale haters. Smaller boats. Oh, the haters. Smaller boats everywhere. The haters. Really, Billy Football wrote a blog saying an angry whale, and that got me angry. Yeah. Why was Billy going after the animal? I think Billy was just casting his own assumptions onto the whale.

It's a dangerous thing to do. My hot seat is... He tried to think it was capsizing on purpose, which is something that killer whales do. That's crazy. Yeah, but a whale wouldn't do that. Killer whales. But that's not a whale, is it? They're fish? I don't know. No, killer whales are... Orcas are whales. Again, I don't know. They got the blowhole, right? Orcas are whales. Yeah, they got the blowhole. You sure about that? Yes. Did you get it in the boating class? Mm-hmm.

I just imagine Hank doing the boating class being like, where the fuck are the questions about the whale? What are some other very elementary boating questions to ask? Because I think we asked them the two most common ones. They didn't know either one. Why aren't they asking me what I'll do if I see a whale? No, I was right about the right away one. Not really. And the starboard one. No, you weren't. What kind of knot do you use to tie up your boat? What do you mean? I think that's a pretty easy question, right? When you dock your boat, what kind of knot do you tie?

A regular, I don't know the name of the knot. What is the golden rule of boating etiquette? I don't fucking know. Boat others the way you'd want to be treated. Yeah, you kind of did it. Do to others as you would have them do to you, which that's not boating. That's just a very common phrase. Yeah, that's just life. Boaters just took that? The boater's code. That was a mean question by PFT. There are many knots that you can tie to tie up a boat. Yeah. Okay, I didn't know. Yeah.

I didn't take a boating class. You said that was a very easy question. How old do you have to be to be mandatory have to wear a life jacket the whole time? Everyone has to wear a life jacket the whole time. That's just not true. 13? Yes. Got it. 13 is right. That's sometimes a trick question. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah.

Yeah, 13-year-olds are required to wear a life jacket at all times when the boat is underway. What's faster, a mile per hour or a knot? Like a nautical mile per hour. What's rule nine in boating? If you're just floating away in the harbor, you don't have to use a flare gun. No, this is the problem. You missed rule nine. Rule nine places the obligation on you, the small vessel operator, to avoid impeding the large vessels while operating in a deep draft channel or fairway. That's the small boat rule. You've got to remember rule nine.

Yeah, I mean, the boats that I'm dealing with are like I'm dealing with average-sized boats. Okay, true or false, an F-35 Lightning II can land on an aircraft carrier? True. Okay, you know boats. Okay, true or false, you should not shoot a flare off in the harbor? True. Okay, yeah, you do know boats. You know boats. All right, nice. Passed it.

I feel like you're nervous that the boating police are going to listen to this. No, I mean, I've gone on the boat one time this whole summer. I'm probably not going to do it again because I've just never used it. What color are Coast Guard helicopters? Red and white. Aren't they orange? I have no idea. I feel like Coast Guard rocks orange sometimes. Hopefully, I'll never find out. Yeah. Good point. Good point. As long as you stay out of the harbor.

You don't need the Coast Guard. Okay, PFT, your hot seat, Colteron. My hot seat is Kevin Durant. Yeah. Kevin Durant, because has he played yet? I don't think that he's played in any of the tune-up games. Steve Kerr has said that he's not being sent home, that they need him, that he's going to be their closer at some point. Yep. Kind of weird that Kevin Durant hasn't played at all yet. Maybe he's unhappy.

Isn't that what we heard about Kevin Durant? Yeah, he could be. He's unhappy and he's looking to be traded. He's mad at Nike. Yeah, mad at Nike, unhappy, and he'd like to be traded to France. Did you see... Kevin Durant. I feel like USA team, especially nowadays, it's just great controversy that happens. Did you see Drake? Did I see Drake shared a go team with everyone except LeBron?

Or did I make that wrong? LeBron's the oldest guy on the team, so that makes sense. No, because it was not that. I guess there was a clip where they were playing Not Like Us and LeBron was like,

Steph was like, this song again? This is the only song in the world. I've heard it a million times. LeBron's like, I could play it a million more. Like, this song fucking rocks. Love that. So I just saw the beef. I was like, oh, maybe that's real. Yeah, Drake can't do anything this summer. No. He has worse summer by far. You can't leave the house if you're Drake. Yeah. Not because you have to notify your neighbors. But I think that maybe Steve Kerr just forgot that Kevin Durant's on the team. Yeah, probably. It's like Home Alone. You get to France. Kevin. Kevin. Hank, is that crazy that you...

We can say with a matter of fact that you had a far, far better summer than Drake. That is crazy. That's nuts. Like, it's not even up for debate. You dominated this summer compared to Drake. It's not over yet either. Congratulations. You got more winning to do. My cool throne is true love. True love is on the cool throne because you guys remember our good friend, Pole Assassin?

The dancer from Texas? Yes. And her husband? The monkey? Or her, excuse me, her boyfriend at the time, Jeff Banks, the special team coach on the University of Texas. And Pole Assassin, spelled P-O-L-E, she's an exotic dancer. Her monkey, Gia, allegedly bit...

bit a small trick-or-treater on Halloween a couple years ago. Pole Assassin immediately clarified, said that it was clearly labeled, do not pet my pet monkey when you come into our Halloween funhouse. There's a big controversy about that. They just got married. Oh. Yeah, so Jeff Banks and Pole Assassin. I don't know if she is still with us.

But they're married. They found love. Steve Sarkeesian, a bunch of other coaches were at the wedding showing support for the team. I love that. I love it when a good story gets tied up like that. Yeah, that's beautiful. Because for a while, it seemed like we didn't know what was going to happen. There's lawsuits. There's people getting arrested. Seemed chaotic. Well, they settled down. They got married. True love. Whole assassin found love. So shout out to her. That's beautiful. It's beautiful. I like having a good story every now and again. That's beautiful. Okay, my hot seats...

I have two. First one is Tariq Scooble, who is the presumptive Cy Young favorite for the Detroit Tigers, is possibly going to get traded.

And it's more a hot seat for me because I think we've told this story. Maybe we haven't. When we went to Detroit for the draft, an AWO came up to me, handed me an envelope, and he's like, don't open this until I walk away. And in that envelope, it just said Tariq Scooble, Cy Young plus 400. And I bet it right then and there. So I have plus 400. I think he's like minus 125 now. But he might get traded to the Dodgers. Okay.

Okay. So that's a problem. Yep, that's a big problem. If he gets traded to the Orioles, I'm good. If he gets traded to the Dodgers, I'm fucked. You don't want him in the National League. Yeah, I mean, there's players who have won Cy Young while getting traded. Sutcliffe did it. Did Cliff Lee do it? I'm pretty sure he did when he went from the Indians to the Phillies. I think CeCe might have as well. Did Johan Santana? Or am I making that up?

I don't think so. Maybe, though. So it can be done, but you'd have to be incredible, and you'd also probably have to get traded a little earlier. So I might be in trouble if he gets traded to the Dodgers. I hope he goes to the Orioles. But I feel like the voters, at least recently, have become more tuned in. They don't take into account wins and losses nearly as much as they used to. Yeah, but you have to be—

that might not be the worst thing in the world. You'd have to be insanely, insanely good. I'm looking it up right now. I'm pretty sure it was. Yep, Cliff Lee and CeCe both did it. What was CeCe? Was it the same year? No. 08, back-to-back years. 08 and 09. 08 and 09, yeah. Yeah, so CeCe, I remember. So I'm looking at it right now. Cliff Lee was a beast. CeCe was insane because remember he was pitching on three days rest down that stretch for the Brewers?

CeCe went to the Brewers and he was 11-2 with a 1-6-5 ERA in 17 games started. That's pretty hard to do. What was Cliff Lee the year that he did it? Because they do only vote for what you do in that league. Cliff Lee, I'm looking at right now. Got to be Indians-Phillies, right? Yeah, it was Indians-Phillies. But Cliff Lee was 7-4. Wait, so wait, the voting is 3-3-9 ERA. Was there no one else in that league?

Oh, no. Did he win the Cy Young? I don't think he won. No, no, no, no, no. No, he won the Cy Young in 08. Yeah. So it was just CeCe, I think. So when you get traded to the other league, they only base their voting on what you did in your new league. They completely discard anything you did in the AL if you go to the NL? Also, I made this up because CeCe didn't. Okay. This was bad information by this Reddit post that I guess we both looked at. Yeah, I mean, I just Googled it. Yeah. Yeah.

But do you know what I'm saying, Big Cat? Is that the rule? Yeah, if you have... Say it again. Like, if you get traded at the deadline and you have a monster first two-thirds of the season or whatever, and let's say you're, I don't know, 10-1 with a 1.2 ERA, then you get traded, and then after that trade deadline, then you go, I don't know, 6-4, and you have a 3.1 ERA,

They won't give you the award even though you average out to somewhere like

I don't know, in the twos ERA. No, I think that... So Sutcliffe did do it. I was right about that. He was 4-5 for the Indians in 1984, and then he got traded to the Cubs, and he was 16-1, and he won the NL Cy Young. Right, because he was so good. For the Cubs. But did they throw out even if they were really good beforehand? Yeah, I think so. That probably rocked back in the day if you got traded as a pitcher to the National League. Yeah. It's like one free out. Yeah, it's crazy.

Yeah, the... I don't know. Either way, my other hot seat was Joe Biden because he might be dead. And then my cool throne is... What? I think he was seen today. Oh, he was? Yeah, he was seen coming off the plane. Oh, he's not dead. That's always good. All right, great. It's always good when you're talking about your president and you're like, don't worry, he's been seen. We saw him. Someone saw him. Great. Okay. What about Jimmy Carter? That one... I mean, he doesn't wake up for full days, so who knows? Yeah.

My cool throne is the Wisconsin Badgers because they're finally serving beer at Camp Randall. I took a very long time, but we're there. That must have been the only place in the state of Wisconsin where you couldn't buy a beer. It's crazy. I think they probably just did it because they're like, it's going to get too drunk. But yeah, it's good that finally they're serving beer. I think they were doing it in some of the VIP areas, but now everyone gets to drink beer. I like that. Yeah. Okay. Huey.

So, I'm going to start with my cool throne. It'll lead into my hot throne. Oh, hot throne. Okay. So, well, hot seat, you know. Well, you're starting with your cool throne. Cool throne. It's going to get hot. It's going to get hot. This has never been done before. We're flipping it in reverse. It's never been done. Cool seat. Cool throne. The WNBA. Okay. Yeah. With the best ratings...

Of the All-Star Game of all time. The best ratings ever was 1.4 million. This topped 3.4 million. Wow. Last year was under 900,000. So just colossal upgrade over last year's performance in numbers. I wonder who that could be from. Might be you. Maybe. Talking about on this show. Caitlyn, Angel, Huey. Print the shirt. Print the shirt. But my hot seat...

Coincidentally, the WNBA. Oh, okay. That would also lead into the other way around. You could have done that. Huh. I guess you're right. They won't be playing basketball for four weeks. Okay. So imagine if like the 1988 dunk contest, it was incredible. And then the NBA just didn't happen for four weeks. All the momentum they've gained, just nothing's going to happen. And Team USA is not even the best team of women in the USA. Okay.

Right. As we saw this past weekend. So, yeah, just a colossal mess up from them. But I guess nothing we can do. That's the part that sucks that they didn't think about. Like if Caitlin Clark was on Team USA, it wouldn't be four weeks off. It would be Team USA. Yeah. Now it feels like you're just kind of watching something else. Damn. That's tough. Yeah.

Kalen Clark should just live stream herself playing basketball at the same time the team just shooting threes. Yeah. Take all the all of the viewers. All right. Good job Huey. Let's do some Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore is brought to you by our friends at Pepsi.

Saucy, stretchy, crunchy, gooey, messy. Pepsi is an essential part of the most undeniably delicious food moments. Let's face it, Pepsi just makes every bite better. The refreshing pop of sweet, fizzy Pepsi bottles or 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. See this right here? I had a wild cherry Pepsi. Just finish it. It's so good.

Last sip. Pepsi goes with all foods. Pizza, wings, burgers, everything. Breakfast. Everything is better with Pepsi. Okay. Mount Rushmore. What is... Hank! I blew it. I blew it. People did not like the Patrick Mahomes pick. I blew it. You finished in second to last place again. I fucking blew it. Hot streak. Keep blowing it. I keep blowing it. So you're not... You're climbing back out of the hole.

Yeah, it's a long season. Just got to keep my head down, focus. I just fucking blow it. So Big Cat unfortunately keeps blowing it, which is really tough because he's not trying to blow it. But have you thought that maybe he's trying to blow it? No, I don't think he would do that. No, I would never do that. We also...

Did you hear what they came up with? Hank and Max came up with as a punishment for Mount Rushmore? No, this was memes. This was memes. Sorry, memes. We don't have to do it, but we put it in the hat or we could make it the thing. I don't think I did hear memes. Okay, so here it is. And I do think that it's a perfect punishment. Okay.

Maybe in the hat or maybe we say this is just the punishment. Memes had an idea that the loser of Mount Rushmore has to win a national title in the new college football game on Heisman and can't stop till they do it. Okay. I don't hate that. It'd be very good stream. The more you get to the end.

the more pressure becomes. And then as soon as you lose, it's like, oh, my God. You got to start over. You got to start over. And you can do any school. Any school. We said we were going to all pick a school, a big school, and put it in a hat, and then you had to pick out of the hat. Okay. And we were going to say offense only because it would take so long if we did offense and defense.

I think if it's offense only, then you'll never win one with defense. Yeah. And also offense only makes it so we've done the math. It's about four and a half hours, five hours for one single season. So if you do doing offense only. So if you do offensive only, you should be able to have like five or six cracks at it in a 24 hour stream. Okay. Yeah. What does everyone think? I'm in. I think it'd be pretty fun. Yeah.

I think it'd be pretty fun, and it would definitely do big-time numbers. I've got to get a coaching staff like you and have 12 people giving me plays all day. Well, that sounds like you're coming at me a little bit. No, it's a great punishment for you. What do you mean? I'm bad at the game, and I played All-American. You guys have more chance to play the game than I do. Hank, aren't you on his coaching staff? No, I got fired. He got fired. He was laughing at me. Hank, you realize that you have so much more free time to get good at this game than I do?

Yeah, I like it. Let's do it. Like you have infinite amount of free time. The only time I play is when I'm streaming. I'm never going to get good at this game. Let's do it. Hank doesn't have that much free time.

Golf. Vacation. We could put it in our hat of other punishments. Memes came up with it. I'm down for that. I think it's the best one. I do think it's the best one for the viewers. Yes, for the viewers. I agree with that. For the viewers, it's the best one. Because also, I always like the streams where you just have to sleep on stream. Right. It hits the fan. Do you want me to do... If I lose Mount Rushmore season, I have to do it in Madden? Because I'm not playing Madden? No. Is it an unfair advantage? No, no, no.

It has to be college football. I think you guys have as much time to play. You have more time to play. Yeah, I'll get grounded. Here we go. Come out of the golf time. There's a part of me that thinks you have to go undefeated, too. No. Whoa. No, national championship. Then you just restart the season. You know how hard Heisman is? Heisman's very hard. All-American is giving, I can't win games. It's insane how hard Heisman is. I may never get out of this.

May never. Okay, I'm down for the punishment. Let's do it. Add it to the list. Stream for the people. Okay, so we're doing the Mount Rushmore of breakfast food. Who's going first? I believe I'm up first. Okay. I need a good Mount Rushmore. I sucked. Patrick Holmes was a cheeky pick that people were very upset, which is good because Mount Rushmore people should get people feeling something. But I fucked up.

This is going to get confusing. Okay. Oh, I think I know what your question is. I think that there should be... I don't think you can... I think you can pick different variations. There's going to be different eggs. Yeah. You can't just say eggs. There will be eggs. Yes. Yes, there can be variations of those. Yeah. Yes. Yep. They just have to be specifically different. Okay, so I'm up first. Yes. I am going to go...

Waffles. Love waffles. Superior to pancakes in every way. Anyone complain? I used to be pancakes, but I think I'm... You can't really complain because there's so many more picks still on the board. No, no. If you give your opinion, it gives up picks. Yeah, that's fair. All I'll say about waffles is I do think waffles have a significantly higher ceiling.

But I think a bad waffle, like pancakes are hard to fuck up. A bad waffle is really bad. I agree with that. It's a little more volatile, but the ceiling is way higher. But it's rare that you get a bad waffle. Very rare. I've had maybe three instances in my life where I'm like, this is a bad waffle. Waffle's versatile. You can go sweet. You can do the whipped cream. You can do chocolate on there. You can do strawberries. Or you can go savory, put some...

Chicken on there, even a little bit of hot sauce, maybe some syrup or honey on there. Waffle is very versatile. I love a waffle. Agreed. The nooks and crannies make it. This is going to be a tough draft. All right. I think this is going to be the second time I take this this summer, but I'll do a bacon, egg, and cheese.

Okay. Easy. Good pick. It's breakfast. I know that it's not a sit-down breakfast, but I mean, we're doing all breakfast. Bacon, egg, and cheese. Yeah. I would have thought that was a no-brainer one-one. Yeah. Shut the fuck up, Hank. It is the go-to. I don't really know when you can have a bad one. Bacon, egg, and cheese. I'm going to have to throw this later. I'm going to go similar. Sausage, egg, and cheese. Okay. That's kind of a cuck move, like taking the same thing, but you know that it's not as good.

Agreed. Yeah. Yeah. But we're not getting contentious today. Wait, are you saying that foreplay is better than sex, Hank? Is that what that was an allusion to? No. Okay. What are you talking about? All right. It seemed like you were being spicy with that. I just said it. I can't agree with your points now. Okay. Gun to your head, would you take bacon, egg, and cheese or sausage, egg, and cheese? Sausage. Really? Yeah. I would take sausage too. Interesting. I love bacon. I'm going to go- I love bacon. I love bacon.

I'm going to go pancakes. Okay. Pancakes for the table. Yep. Pancakes. Pancake house in Chicago. Greatest pancakes I've ever had. Yeah. That's the thing. It's a fluffy pancake that's just, oh. I'll tell you what. I fucking love pancakes. When we had to eat all those pancakes on the live stream. Those were good. I didn't even mind it. Yeah. It was great. I crushed those pancakes.

Blueberry pancakes are so good. I love blueberry pancakes. I like blueberry. I don't really like chocolate chip pancakes. I think they're a little too much. I agree with you. Yeah. I actually, this is going to be the one time we don't sound like the fattest people here. I think the chocolate chip pancakes are too much. I like the sweetness to come from the syrup. Right. I don't need it to come from the chocolate. I like having one chocolate chip pancake. Homemade chocolate chip pancakes are actually better than the ones they make in restaurants because they do too many chocolate chips. Yes. Yeah. Yes. What about banana pancakes? Yes.

Yes. I like bananas on top. I don't like them in. Strawberries on top of my waffles. Always good. Whipped cream. Breakfast is so good. It's the best. It's great. It's the best. Now I will go a breakfast burrito. Strong one, too. Good pick. Good pick. Good pick. French toast. Okay. Now, what do you think about these places that get real cute with it?

They put like edible flowers and shit on there. I think that's a lot of places. Like I think a lot of restaurant breakfast places...

and overcomplicate pancakes, waffles, French toast. Like, you don't need that much shit on top. Maybe some fresh fruit. They make it palatable for Instagram. Yeah. It's like, look at this flour on my French toast. Like, I don't need the whipped cream. I don't need the flours. I don't need... I just maybe... Whipped cream's good. Fruit, bananas, maybe some bacon on the side. Yeah. Yeah. Agreed. A little powdered sugar. When we go...

I got a question. Okay. I don't want to make it a thing. Like, can I do a specific order, or does it have to be just one by... I want to take steak and eggs. I think that's fine. That's like a known breakfast meal. That's a close one. You tell me. There's an ant. Okay. Then I won't. I'm being very... I want to be as... I want to be very... I'm trying to be fair, too. Yeah, I'm being fair. I want to be fair. I want to be fair. I don't know, though, but that...

Okay. I'm going to be as fair as fair as possible. Steak and eggs doesn't count. You know what? That's fine. Well, no, that's fine. I have no problem with not doing steak and eggs. I just wanted to because it is like, you know, that's a breakfast thing. I actually I'm coming around on it because it's an order. Right. It's a breakfast. Yeah. You don't you don't get steak for breakfast, but you do get steak and eggs. Right. Yes. Right. And there's other things that are like that.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like there's a thing. There's another thing out there that will have multiple things in it. Yes. That can be picked. I think it has to be picked. Yes. Okay. So are we allowing it? Hank was the only one who doesn't want me to. I think it's fine. I never said that. I'm going to throw it in the pool. Okay. All right. You weren't throwing it. What? No, I'm not. He's not going to throw it in the pool. But you just said you were going to. They're cutting that.

Got it. He's going to throw in the fourth. Like Patrick Mahomes. Uh...

I am going to take... I really do. That was a bad pick by me, but I do think that we glossed over the fact that Hank didn't realize that humans are animals. Yeah, that's very true. Also... That part was... It was a bad pick. A hand up. Bad pick. Got a little cute. Hank did not know humans were animals. Yeah. Also, Mount Rushmore season, there used to be a ton of cute picks. Yeah. If you go back. Yeah, we did. We've whittled it down. Yeah. So one cute pick stands out. I own it being a bad pick, but I think the shock that Hank had, I think there was probably some listeners, too, that didn't realize...

Humans are animals. You didn't know that? Okay. I'm impressed that you're alive. Same. Yeah. Good job. I just had to get it off my chest. Again, bad pick. I own it, but yeah. Humans are animals. Okay. Okay. Next up, I'm going to go breakfast tacos. I think breakfast tacos are better than breakfast burritos. Wow. Breakfast tacos are elite. They're my favorite.

You can grab two of them. You can grab three if you're hungry. You can grab four. In Austin, you are correct. Yep. But the rest of the country, breakfast burrito is always better than a breakfast taco. Yeah. I don't know the rest of the country. Where have you had a good breakfast taco outside of Austin? I had a good breakfast taco here. Really good breakfast taco.

But how many places have you had a good breakfast burrito? Everywhere. I also had a good breakfast burrito yesterday. Literally yesterday morning. Breakfast tacos are good, but they're a treat for certain parts of the country. I like both. The only thing I'll say that sways me towards burrito is that as a spill guy,

I like to not start my day off with a spill. So what I like about the breakfast taco is you can meter out your dipping sauce or your salsa more accurately on a breakfast taco than you can a burrito where you have to go like sauce, bite, sauce, bite. Oh, I like the sauce bite though. Yeah. Or you can get the sauce in there. You get a fresh bit of sauce in every bite. What, fresh sauce makes a difference? No, because sometimes if you let it sit for a little bit, it'll get a little like soggy. Like if you... Not if you eat a breakfast taco and it's like three

Three bites. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I like breakfast tacos. I'm not... Okay. Both are great. You're the one who's coming at my pick. I said I liked your pick. Well, it's a big rivalry. Here's the thing. There has not been a pick that I wouldn't eat. Yeah. That's really what it comes down to. It's a strong draft. It's all things we want. Okay. Next up, I'm going to go with hash browns. Hash browns are so good. Good pick. When they're crispy, thin. Good pick.

Waffle house hash browns. Can I specify waffle house hash browns? Yeah. Waffle house hash browns. Smothered, covered, chunked, diced, peppered. Okay. As your whole meal? Yeah, they make actually big hash browns. You can load them up with meat and stuff too. And Hank, these are breakfast foods. It's not breakfast meal. Yeah. As a category. Just FYI. I was hoping it would stick to me. It would stay to me. And I know people will be like, well, you can't really have a whole meal.

Like that. But donuts. Donuts are breakfast food. And they're delicious. And I love them. And I love Donut Day. Every Saturday. Nothing? I mean, it's a good pick. Oh, whoa. Max has got his fingers crossed. What was that? He's hoping the next one gets to him. Is that what that was? Max? Talk. We're on a podcast. It's fine. He's nervous. Are you hoping something gets to you? I am hoping something gets to me. Do you think donuts is a bad pick? Donuts is a great pick.

Is omelet what you were worried about? Did you take omelet? I'm taking omelet. Love that you took omelet. Bagel and cream cheese going this way. Oh! All right. I thought you were going to take meatballs. Bagel. Omelet's a good pick. Omelet was what I was talking about. Omelet, you obviously have a bunch of stuff in it. Yeah. Like, that's what makes an omelet an omelet. That was kind of what I was saying with the steak and eggs. Yeah, omelet is great. It's like we're going to get to something that...

Bagel and cream cheese is just like a standard, such a great way to start your morning. Not too much. I'm just so outmanned in these food drives. Well, shout out Pepsi.

They're a sponsor of the food drafts. This isn't super difficult, though. It's breakfast food. Everyone loves breakfast. I know, but I eat just to fill my stomach. These guys eat for passion and love. I was going to say, Max, would it be offensive if I took my last pick as a backup bagel?

Because I would like a bagel Bagel's great I did a backup bagel At home the other day Like on a Sunday I literally just had a bagel And then went back and just got a half It was like great It's a good ratio It's my last one now And I'll finish with Eggs Benedict Yep I had that on my list

Okay. That's another dish that sometimes gets cute with it. Yeah, but a good Eggs Benedict is... For me, that's like a treat. Like if I'm going to like a brunch and they're known for their Eggs Benedict, it always tastes good. How do you get your eggs?

Aren't they just poached eggs? Yeah, poached eggs. Oh, you mean in general. Yeah. I thought you were asking on an egg benedict. On eggs benedict, they're usually poached, but you can specify. How do you guys get your eggs normal? If you say two eggs, side of bacon. I'm always scrambled. Scrambies raw. Really? I go over easy. Yeah, over easy. Over easy with a side of toast. Yeah. That's the difference between men and boys.

Right there. Yeah, I don't like over easy. Sometimes I like scrambled eggs. Yeah, I like scrambled eggs. Scrambled eggs are good. Yeah, more scrambies.

Come sit next to my kids and have some scrambled eggs while I eat a fucking over easy egg like a man. You probably just don't know how to make good scrambled eggs. I didn't know that wasn't even the question. As you were saying, you realize how stupid it was too. It's literally the easiest thing in the world to make. No, no, no, no, no. I mean, there's good scrambled eggs and there's bad scrambled eggs. Yeah, it's like hotel continental breakfast scrambled eggs. Yeah, but that's because it's sitting out. Once I learned the Gordon Ramsay method of making scrambled eggs, it completely changed. What's Gordon Ramsay? You just call everyone in the room a cunt? Yeah.

No, you gotta constantly stir it. Constantly stir it. Yeah, you go... You add a little milk. You stir it on. No, no milk. Oh, I add a little milk. Just butter. I add a little milk and cheese. Yeah, yeah. You can add a little bit of milk. He does creme fraiche. So you do... It's like 15 seconds on the heat, then take it off 15 seconds while you're stirring off the heat. Right. And then back on the heat, go back and forth. I add a little milk. They make it a little fluffier. Yeah. I don't like the milk. It's good. You should try it. You don't even notice it. You stir it in. Yeah.

Okay, Hank, last pick. You're not happy with your draft. What do you have so far? He's got omelet. Sausage, egg, and cheese. Yep. Omelet. Yep.

French toast. French toast. Yeah, that's a good board. I'll play it safe. You know what I think the matter is here? You're not getting the votes because you're down. You're not confident. I don't care about the votes. No, when I hear these guys talk about food, I realize how outmatched I am. It's like you go and you're a good D2 team and then you go play a D1 team and you're like, oh, these guys are just big. PFT likes to talk about food too. I love talking about food. Tacos and burritos.

I'll go bacon. Okay. Good pick. Okay. It's a classic. I don't know if this is going to fuck me or not, but it feels like just an enormous omission because when you think of breakfast, you think of everything we've been saying. Oh, I know exactly what you're just going to say. Cereal. Yeah.

Cereal, yeah. I eat cereal every day. So I thought about cereal. It's a great breakfast food. It's breakfast soup. Yeah, I mean, I know what this draft is. We're obviously talking about going to a diner, but when I think breakfast, cereal is what comes to mind. Cereal's better at night than in the morning.

I don't know. I eat a shitload of cereal. Yeah, it's a very hot. I eat a lot of cereal. It's just, it's old. It's steady and reliable. Yeah. So there have been many mornings where I've got the time. I can sit down and make myself a nice egg over easy. I could even poach it. Do like a little side of hash browns or whatever. And I look at the honey nut Cheerios in my cabinet. Yeah. And I'm just like, honey nut Cheerios really can't be topped. Yeah. I feel like.

Because when I was writing out the list, I was like, wait, cereal? Yeah, cereal's a breakfast food. What the fuck? You might have fucked yourself by accident, though. Why? Because how cereal shows up on the graphic. I don't know. I mean, it just is the most consistent breakfast food. But yeah, I might have fucked myself. And then Hank would be. Yeah. That'd suck. You guys, the cereal I've been rocking recently, if you can find it, it's not at every single store. Peanut butter Chex. Oh, okay. Incredible.

I love Chex. And peanut butter. And peanut butter. And it's so good, PFT. It's fucking... You can't... You know it's good because it's not at every store. And then when you see it, it'll be like all sold out. When I see a peanut butter Chex at a store, usually Target has it, I'll buy like five boxes. Yeah. And you know cereal's good when there's types of cereals that your parents won't let you have. Yeah. Because they're too good. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. My last one. This is my... Maybe my favorite...

item that you can purchase at a fast food restaurant in the entire world. Oh,

The Taco Bell breakfast crunch wrap. It is so fucking good. See, Hank, you could have picked this. It is so good. I'm going to order one tomorrow. So good. It's elite. It's got eggs. You can get sausage in there, cheese, some sort of weird sauce that they don't tell you about, and then it's got hash browns inside, and it's in the crunch wrap. Good pick. Very good pick. Yeah, thank you. All right, what did we miss? I was going to do beer until I...

That would have been like Mahomes. You would have gotten killed for it. Yeah. I should have done beer. Can I switch my last one to beer? Cereal. You ever have Beerial? No.

No, that always sounded so gross. I have a lot of beer. It sounds cooler to say like I had burial. Yeah. Brown cinnamon sugar Pop-Tarts. Yep. I had Pop-Tarts on there. Sausage gravy. Yep. That was what I was thinking of when you said I was thinking biscuits and gravy. Biscuits and gravy. That's why I was like if you do steak and eggs, you got to be able to do biscuits and gravy. Yes. Cinnamon rolls. Sticky buns. Banana bread. Zucchini bread. Magrittle.

PFT, honestly, one of my favorite breakfasts is when we had in Austin the migas. Yeah, migas. It's a breakfast taco. It's a very... Well, it's not a taco. It's like... Well, it comes with side tortillas, and you scoop the migas into the tortillas. What are the ones where they're like the chips, and you put the eggs...

That was unbelievable. Those were so good. I haven't had it since, but I've been thinking about it. A little free tip to people out there. You're making your own migas at home. You just make eggs, and then you crumble up. First, you put cheese on top after it's done cooking. Then you crumble up some Flamin' Hot Cool Ranch Doritos on top, and then you're in heaven. And then thank me later. Chilaquiles. Have you guys ever had that? Yes, delicious. Chilaquiles. Basically breakfast nachos. Yeah. I like home fries sometimes more than hash browns.

What's the difference? It's like the potatoes are not... They're like chunks of potatoes. Oh, no. No, thanks. Yeah. With a little... It's like if it's cooked correctly, it's like there's some onions and peppers and it's like kind of cooked crisply. I go to this one place...

I don't want to say the location because I don't want to blow up the spot because it's that good. But the home fries are... The potatoes are cooked perfectly. What about just breakfast sausage in general? Yeah. I love breakfast sausage. Yeah. What else? Yeah, banana bread was a big... Oh, muffins too. Blueberry muffin. Muffins are good. How do we feel about parfaits? I like parfaits. Love a parfait. I feel like I'm in the minority category.

I don't know. I feel like people just look down at yogurt. Yeah. I like, I like oatmeal, bananas and strawberries, but I don't think that's a sexy. Yeah. I love a good parfait with, but you need the, there's nothing worse than a parfait when you run out of granola.

I need the right ratio. Right. Because the granola makes it look like it's super healthy. And also the granola, like you get that crunch. You're not just eating like just eating yogurt is very, it's kind of left. Yeah. But with the parfait and the, and some fruit parfait is good. It's refreshing. Very refreshing. Very light. Like a good summertime. Yeah. Body took a shower. How do we feel about like European breakfasts?

Oh, with the beans? Beans on toast. Yeah. We won a war for that. British people eat... Here's the most fucked up thing about Great Britain, besides the fact that they eat beans on toast. They also make blood pudding for breakfast. So if you have a traditional English breakfast, it's this red disc that comes out, and it's just filled with guts. Yeah. And they let it congeal into almost like a loaf of blood. I've had that before. I've had it. The black pudding? It's fine. Yeah. Yeah.

I have a trust tree thing that I know that is gross to most people that I have like a couple times a week. And that's like cottage cheese and blueberries for breakfast. I know that like I love it. I've been having it since I was like a kid. And it's kind of gotten like a viral thing on YouTube.

Like TikTok recently because it's very high in protein, cottage cheese. Yeah, yeah. And I love it. I'll just do like a bowl of cottage cheese and blueberries. I love everything about cottage cheese except for how it tastes. Yeah. And I trust a lot of people like Max that I trust their food opinions. They love cottage cheese. It's like Radiohead for me. Mm-hmm.

I respect everything about Radiohead. People that I know that have good taste in music really enjoy Radiohead. Just can't listen to it. I love Radiohead. I respect that. I respect your love of Radiohead. I appreciate your respect. I appreciate your respect. Okay, anything else we missed? Huey, you got any? Huey? Anything? Go ahead. No. Okay, all right. I had one cheeky pick that I've learned my lesson that the AWLs don't want me to do. Too crazy, but I think it's an elite breakfast.

Cold slice of pizza. So good. I think that would have played. Yeah, I don't know. I'm gun shy now. But cold slice of pizza, it's zero calorie. Tastes great. Just put a little hot sauce on it. Yeah. It's great. I love having pizza for breakfast. It's very good. Yeah, it's very, very good. Okay, let's get to our interview. We got Nate Bargatze.

Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest, recurring guest. It is our Chill Week interviews presented by Chevy Silverado and Coors Light. It's comedian Nate Bargatze. Thank you, boys. One of the funniest guys in the world.

Well, well, well, your his mom likes me. Yeah, my mom is a massive fan. I was just saying I'm a I'm a parents comic parent. You've heard the phrase comics comic. Yeah. Like I'm a I'm a comics parents comic. Yeah. Like because all the comedians, if they were like dirty, they would always tell they'd be like, well, go watch Nate. And because I would be clean.

Yeah. So like all the, yeah, I do well with parents. Yeah. Parents can be like my, my son, he does this, this exact same. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got to start sending your clips to my mom. Cause like, Oh yeah, dude, I sent her some Shane Gillis. She's like, what's wrong? It's a lot. Yeah. So, all right. So, uh, the golf tournament, we're probably, we're going to run this next week or the week after. So you have already played. Yeah. Do you want to make a prediction on where you finish?

I wouldn't say I'll be in the positives of – it's Stableford. Yeah, scoring. So I think I'll be positives. I forget what I was last – I might have been positive six last time. I think I can get to positive double digits this time. How's the game looking? Because you golf a lot. I do, but we just got done. I did a, like, 200-city tour, and so –

So I haven't got to play a ton. But over the last week or two weeks, I've played pretty hard every day just to get ready for this. So it's okay. Yeah. But it's not anything crazy. Yeah, I mean, the good news is out here, if you have a bad shot, it's not like, oh, there's Nate Bargatze, NFL starting quarterback. Yeah.

Yes. You get that, you get that, you get a little leeway where. As a comic, I think you do. I thought about that the other day. I was thinking, cause it's like, as a comic, you can, you're just funny. So you can do something that's, I mean, really, and you embarrass your family. And then there you're like, Hey,

He goes, hey, I'm a fun guy, though. And they're like, yeah, that guy's a good guy. Yeah. You should have like a colored handkerchief that you put, like you shank a shot and you're like, ha-ha, I did it on purpose. Yeah. That's why my dad's out with me. He's a magician. So I have him just walk with me. And then if people get distracted, he's like, oh, pick a card. He goes and talks to the crowd. He can help you cheat. Like just drop a golf ball out of nowhere. Ball comes out of nowhere. Yeah. Wait, is your dad caddying for you?

No, my brother is. Okay. But he's down here. Your dad is very, very funny. He does a lot of your shows, and he's just the best. He is. Yeah. You feel any pressure to be funny, though, on the golf course? Like if you're paired up with a random group, you don't have the expectation of an athlete, but it's like, well, Nate Bergatti, he's going to crack us up all day. Yeah, yeah. We used to more when, because you would be booked as a comic and...

No one would know you. Not saying that they all know me now, but earlier you get there and, I mean, these dudes are like, ugh. You're like, hey, I'm a comedian. And it's pretty hard to be funnier than those four guys that are best friends. Right, yeah. So you kind of learn. You're like, yeah, I can't top. You guys have a history. Uh-huh.

Yeah. You don't know who I am, and so it's hard to top it. So then you just learn to kind of tell stories or something. You just try to talk about stuff. We were out yesterday. We were in a random foursome with Kyle Juszczyk. He's a fullback in the NFL. But the other guys, they were close friends. And one guy, you could tell he spent this entire year

reading like golf one-liners, like semi-dirty one-liners, let's say, after every type of missed shot possible. And this guy was just ready to go, locked and loaded with them. And no stand-up comedian can compete with that. You can't, you know, when someone's, like you miss a putt, and someone, there's a guy who says, that reminds me of my first teacher, my first grade teacher, Miss Reed.

And they're always funny. Even though you hear them a hundred times, when you tap the ball off the tee, that's the oldest, and you go, that's one. It's always really funny. It does. It does. And so it's tough to top them. Yeah, you could tell the funniest joke in the world, and then Joe farts in Frank's backswing, and that's... There's nothing going to beat that. Put that on an album, and it's platinum. That's why golf videos are so big on social media. You know, with foreplay and everything, it's...

It's so funny, dude. And golf is so specific that...

That if you are into it and get it, it's so hard of a thing that it is. The ball can, you know, I remember being at a driving range with my buddy a long time ago, and he is a driver, and he swings, and it just goes straight sideways and just hits the people. It's almost like something that's like, well, that's not even possible to do, but golf is so beautiful. You're like, you can hit a ball completely sideways, maybe backwards. There are infinite amounts of ways to screw up on the golf course.

Oh, yeah. And the videos that we've been seeing a lot recently is the honking the horn in the backswing. Yeah. Is that funnier? You don't like it? I don't like it. I don't think you know comedy. Yeah. That's true. I don't think I do either. It is so funny. Yeah.

I know it's... You like golf too much. I like it, but it's like, how quick does it... You see two videos of it, then you're like, all right. Oh, no, no. It gets much better. I have a dumb brain. I have a longstanding rule. If you show me a puke video, I'll cry laughing. There's something about it. But yeah, the honking and the fad a few years ago where guys were hitting each other with golf carts...

We were very clear we didn't want that to happen, but if you showed me a video of you hitting your friend with a golf cart, I will laugh because it's funny. Yeah, that was a wild trip. I mean, full speed. Yeah. Dave put a bounty on Riggs' head then. Oh, wow. Yeah, because Riggs was like, we can't be posting these on the Barstool account. And Dave was like, if anyone hits Riggs with a golf cart, I'll give them $20,000.

Jeez. That's probably a crime, but yeah. It's like the NFL, the bounty game. Y'all have your own bounty game. Yeah, we did. With the car. You don't like the honking videos? I've seen it. I don't like...

I don't know. I mean, it's like, I get it. It's like, just, I think it's like, you're like, all right, I get it. That's fun. And then you just kind of moves on. That's the hard part with social media and like the funny jokes is like, it all is very funny, but it's just this kind of funny moment. And then it goes crazy. And then it's like, all right, that's, you know, what's the next thing? And then you're, it's all about the guy's reaction to.

The honking is not the funny part. It's the guy who gets so angry and will throw a club at the car. And I'll just be like, that was great. That was the peak of comedy. Well, that's when you're in some golf courses, you can tell. When you see the courses where there's fights and all this stuff, those are some real deal public courses where you're like, yeah, dudes are in jeans out there. Do whatever you want. Yeah, you're like, people are going to fight. You don't hit into anything unless you're prepared enough.

to fight another four men. I mean, it's a war. It is. It's like Braveheart. It's like we're going to just go four on four and run at each other. You might not even know everybody in your foursome, but if it's a fight, it's Jets versus Sharks. You have to. I think you have to stay. The hardest is when you get paired up with a random. I'll see some of those videos that are funny where they get stuck with some dude that's terrible. Because that was the biggest fear of me for...

Like forever. No one likes it. No one likes it. You don't like to show up and you're just like, you got to play with this dude. Yeah. You're the guy slowing it down. You're the guy who's in the woods the whole time. That's my whole life. Yeah. Like that literally you're describing me. I'm good. I'm good. You sure, man? We'll look for it. No, no, no. They start helping you look for it and you're like, guys, just please go to your ball.

I'll just play your ball, yeah. Yeah, I don't want you in here. No, let's look for a second. We have time. Just go to your ball, dude. I want to live my life and not find it. I got a good one for you that I had never heard on the golf course. I caddied for a few holes for Blake Griffin this morning, and he hit a shot. It was a terrible shot. Went all the way into the woods. The guy who was – it was a pro-am. The guy playing with us goes, that was a great shape of your shot. And I was like –

He was complimenting me. He was like, the shape of the shot was incredible. But it was like a terrible shot. So I think I'm going to start saying that whenever someone has a bad shot. Just like, great shape, though. I don't even know what that means. It's like good swing. It curves a little. You committed to it. I think it means from like a... And then you're like, thanks, man. You go, thanks, man. A scientific physics tip. You got to re-tee it. Yeah, right. But you committed. If you think about just like from physics...

It is impressive that he was able to make the ball spin so hard. Yeah. It just went right into Woods. He's like, great shape. Yeah. I mean, a person that...

has never played golf can go make a ball spin. Like it's really crazy. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Yeah. So you talked about like a random part. I think that's what kept me away from playing golf for so long was just, you have to play with, you have to go out there and meet a new friend. You're going to hang out with for four hours. I actually did try to play one time back in like 2012. I was like, I'll try golf. I go out on the course and I'm so bad. And the guy that I'm with after about eight holes, he's like, I'm just gonna, I'm going to go home.

And we were going to play 18. We were supposed to play 18. He was there for four hours. And he just said, you know what? I'm done. I'm done for today. And then I was like, well, now I'm just never going to play golf again. It was such a miserable experience. I played in –

I did one mid-am, like mid-amateur. I'm an eight handicap. That's good. It's good, but it's not. You're talking to guys that are very good. But I played in one mid-am a long time ago. I think it was during COVID. And we played. And so that's like a real tournament. So you have to play. You've got to put everything in. It's rules. It's like a PGA event, but for amateurs. And so this guy's playing with us, and he's just playing horrible.

And then we get to the 10th hole, and it's a par 3. He hits it in the water, then hits it in the sand, and then out of the bunker gets into the water again and comes back. So, I mean, he's already pretty much done. And then right when we finish, he just takes his hat off. He goes, boys, I got a long drive ahead of me. I'm going to get on out of here. It's just crazy.

He shook her hand and just left the tournament. So me and my friend say it all the time. We're like, boys, I got a long drive ahead of me. I'm going to get on out of here. He just bounced. I respect that. I mean, he just looked it up and was like, dude, I'm going to shoot 120 out of you. I might as well just beat traffic. There is no traffic because there's four.

40 of us out there. Yeah. But I did that. I famously... I like to fuck with the internet and I'll put on the scorecard whatever I just feel like putting. I played like a month ago and I had... I think my score was like minus six on the front nine and I still shot a 92 and I was like... Just tweeted like... Really got away from me in the back nine. Everyone's like, damn dude, you shot a minus six. So I went out and played Shinnecock which was incredible and I decided to just say I shot a 72 and everyone was like, holy shit. But...

When I was playing Shinnecock, I was so bad, I didn't want to ruin everyone else's time. I just, like, didn't play half the holes. Yeah, yeah. I just was like, you guys just shoot. Like, I'll just walk with you. And that's the way it should be done. Yeah. Like, you do that where... Because sometimes people play, like, a very nice course, and if they're not good, and they're like, well, I want to put everything out and get a real score, you're like, we don't need to see your 150. Yeah, right. Like, just...

If your ball goes out of bounds, drop it where mine is. And write down your score from there. No one's, you know. Write down a 72 if you want. Yeah, yeah. Like I did. The FedEx Cup's not watching. Yeah, right. You found a zero on holes that you didn't play. Yeah. That counts. You're not lying. You got a zero. Yeah. And then you shoot a 48. Yeah, right. Exactly. I feel pretty good about myself. I feel pretty good. Genius scoring. Is there a guy that you're competing against this week? Like, is there a guy that you really want to beat? Usually the comedians you want to...

do better than so cable guy ray romano colin jost okay yeah we gotta beat them yeah and so usually the comics are the ones you kind of look at uh that you want to beat uh i'm trying to think if there's you know i always do a game with larry fitzgerald and so we'll do like a side game and uh

So, like, his, he beat me. I beat him when I played 18th team at Pebble Beach, but he destroyed me here last year. So it's revenge. So I got to, yeah. It's a comeback. I'll find him. Yeah, he'll get a few games going. Who's the best stand-up comedian golfer? Santino might be. He might be. I mean, I'm sure there's a good, Court McCown is another guy, another comic, and he caddied in PGA for a little bit.

And then Santino, I want to say, is two to four range. Yeah, he's good. Yeah, I've played with him. He's legit. Who's the worst? Stavi?

Yeah, I mean, I've never seen him play out of magic. You know, you've got to swing around, all that. I mean, I know John Daly did it, but he doesn't. I feel like his whole body, just everything's in the front, and it's all... It's like too much front. There's no... You see him in the back, and you're like, that guy's in shape. And then you look in the front, and you're like, it's all there. He just kept it all there. Because he kept it. He moved it up. Yeah. Yeah. All right, so...

you had an incredible 2024 i know it's not over yet or 2023 into 2024 200 wait you said you did a tour of 200 cities uh 200 shows 200 shows how many cities was like i mean 7500 yeah 100 probably 150 cities something so are you after such an incredible like last year which i would imagine was the best year of your career yeah by far and are

Are you hitting the reset, or are you like, strike while the iron's hot? I've got to stay out there. I'm going to take a year off. I probably have 20 shows left this year that are kind of sporadic, but the big bulk of the tour is done. And so now I'll just do some fairs and casinos and some stuff like that. And I will be off until probably for the U.S., I probably won't go back out again until December.

June, July next year. I'm thinking about a year off. Yeah, so is that specifically... I'm always curious with comics. Your comedy especially is being a regular guy. If you're on the road all the time, you're no longer a regular guy. So are you doing that intentionally? Like, I have to just go back to live my life and I'll get new material. Absolutely. You gotta go home. You gotta go hang out with your buddies that...

you know, or not in this industry. And so I just go back. I mean, that, you know, and I'm from Nashville. I wanted to move back to Nashville. The big reason to be back in Nashville was to make sure I don't write like everybody else. Everybody, you know, you,

your jokes can kind of, your point of view is different because you're just in a different position than everybody. So it just sounds different. And so, yeah, I'll go back and, you know, home. And there's a lot of stuff I've got I'm doing, but it's like, overall, it's like I'm trying to get ready and

get this new hour and get it figured out. Yeah. Have you found yourself? Has there ever been a moment where you like start a complaint and you're like, God damn it. Um, this is not me anymore. Like, you know, Oh, it's like relating it to someone like, Oh, it's like when they don't put this on your rider, like, you know, they don't put this in your green room and you, and you have to stop yourself and be like, shit.

No one can relate to this. Yeah, no. Yeah, I'm trying to think. I mean, I'm sure there – it's – yeah. Because it happens naturally. You just talk about your own life. Yeah, you're going to have problems. It happens to us. Well, yeah, I try to be aware of that and not have it. I used to do a joke about – I think I did it somewhere, but getting recognized –

at the beginning because people would always like they like i would take a picture with someone but then once i take the picture with you then then i have to then explain who i am to like 30 people yes because people are like well what was that yeah and uh i think i did this but then one guy was it was at the airport and this one guy worked at the airport he goes well who are you yeah i'm a comedian he goes there is there any money in that

Like he would do it. Like I'm a plumber. And he's like, how's that going now? You go, yeah, it's a good business now, man. I think you should get it on it, dude. Right now is the time. I just took a picture. I had a golf tournament I did for my high school.

And it's the Nate Bargetti golf tournament. And I'm sitting there in the same golf cart, these two guys in the same group. One kid comes up, and he was taking a picture of me. He's nervous. He's kind of shaking. And I take a picture with him, and he's like, we're just big fan, whatever. And then the guy in the next car comes up. He goes, so you still doing it? I go, yeah, still bouncing around. He's got a golf tournament with my name on it. There he goes.

Yeah, still plugging along. Maybe he thought that was the end, where it's like when you come home and do a golf tournament, like it's over. The end is usually when your name is on a golf tournament. Yeah, right. Exactly. He went basically like when Pablo Escobar goes back to Medellin or wherever. The Pablo Escobar golf tournament? Yeah, no, but you're like, I'm going back to home. Like this is my crew here. It's all I got left. Yeah.

That analogy didn't really work for me. I liked the fact that he had a golf tournament. He did. It's a classic end of an inspirational movie. Yeah, right. Where you finally accomplish your lifelong dream. You had some tough times. You make it. And now at a point, my own golf tournament. Happily ever after. I mean, at least you get to say comedian because we always joke like there is no thing worse. There's nothing worse in the world than when someone asks you what to do and you have to say I have a podcast.

You feel like the biggest douchebag ever because that is something that everyone's like, is there money in it? And they're actually asking like, are you doing okay? Like, do you need help? Yeah. Well, they do full time. You probably get like full time. Yeah. It is my job. What else do you do? What do you seriously do? During the day? Yeah. You get, yeah, it's, it's, it's people can't imagine making money outside of a traditional way sometimes. And so it's hard. Like at the, you'd be on a plane. Sometimes a lot of comics, we just,

make up a job, just something to, 'cause you know it's gonna be like, well what am I gonna have to talk to this guy about? - I did that a couple weeks ago. Somebody asked me what I did. I said, I bought a lot of Bitcoin.

So I just said I was a crypto bro. And then I did not expect a follow-up question from that person about crypto. And I had no idea what to tell them. That's where you got to be real careful. You got to pick a job that you had before. I got lucky is your answer. I just got into Dogecoin. My problem is when I feel like I don't want to say podcast, I just go to the previous job as blogger.

And I'm like, yeah, that's been around longer. Like blogger is something that they're like, oh, yeah, you're a blogger? That's almost like mainstream media at this point, blogging. Is it still? Yeah, I think so. Blogging still? I think blogging took over for – I don't think you hear the word blogging.

No, not anymore? Yeah, I would be like, ew. I would be like, my God. It doesn't feel good. Then I would follow up with, why don't you try to start a podcast? Something else. You're like, yeah, maybe I'll give it a go. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, I should podcast. Just never say influencer. Yeah. At some point, 10 years from now, do you think someone's going to say influencer? They'll be like, ooh, cool.

Oh, it's, yeah, that's a brutal one, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Cause yeah. Who are you influencing? Yeah. It's also, if you say that's your job description, you're basically calling all of your audience a bunch of marks. Yeah. You're like, they'll do anything I tell them to do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That and asking someone to come on your podcast also sucks. It's been like, yeah. Being like, Hey, can you come on my podcast? Oh yeah. It's, it's never feels good.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you have a very successful podcast. I don't know. I mean, you don't... Yeah, I mean, ours is...

coming around no it's good crazy yeah i mean it's also i love the vibe of it because it's your friends yeah yeah yeah which is how we don't have guests that's we have four and i've liked that because yeah you don't have to i didn't want to feel like i need to invite buddies and make them feel like they have to come do it and then if one of the guys is out i'll just have like someone that i'm actually friends with right so it's like a fun yeah so it's a real authentic thing and it doesn't feel like you're just like i don't know how to talk to

like some of these celebrity you're like I don't know dude I'm not I don't know this person yeah that's the agenda for the podcast who sets it yeah do you guys write that down yeah they just the Brian Bates who's on it he usually will come up with a topic and then just look up stuff and then we're just trying to talk it's kind of we always say it's a show like Seinfeld like show about nothing like yeah so we're just like we just talked about sharks last week and then we just we're just trying to do jokes and get going and

Did you watch that shark attack video? No. I kind of saw it because you could see a leg or something. And then I changed quick. Twitter now is just... Twitter's getting...

Yeah, it's insane. It's insane. They're showing you stuff and you're, hey, these streamers. I don't, why do I got to know speed? Yeah. You've seen speed? Yeah. I didn't really know what he's doing, but I don't really know. But I mean, it's everywhere. And like that dude was in like other countries. He's getting mobbed. Yeah. And then I'm like, what is happening? Yeah. And it is, it makes you feel old when you're like, dude, there's a whole thing. I don't even know. Yeah. Yeah.

anything about yeah at some point you gotta be like i i don't know if i have time to like fully understand what this is about yeah and everybody goes to that as your a you just go like i think i'm i think i'm kind of done yeah this is i'm gonna opt out yeah yeah you're like and i i just don't yeah it's good y'all should do it that's y'all's thing it's nice to every now and then just like willingly say you know what i'm not gonna learn about this yeah and just let it go well you can see when kids like you even an event like this uh

the athletes they go up to. Yeah. And like who they want, you know, versus like we see John Elway, you know, and then the other guys see Josh Allen and they see the younger and that's like, and they can see John Elway and they're like, I don't even know. Who's that old guy? This is just an old man. Yeah. And then their dad's like, you don't know who he is. You don't understand. But yeah, Twitter is like, I think it's just rotting all of our brains because I'll go on and like, it'd be like, oh, here's a person getting hit by a bus. Here's a person on fire. I saw another one where it was just a guy who had a,

a picture of his heroin that he was about to do before he started a stream. And I was like, what is going on? It's a, yeah, you shouldn't be, uh, desensitized to all that stuff. Yeah. Cause it's, you shouldn't be seeing it. And then if you happen to see something in real life, like you just,

or don't care that it's a human being. You have to opt into it when we were growing up. You'd have to go to those weird websites. Everybody had one friend that knew the grossest websites. Rotten.com. And then it's like, I don't want to go to Ricky's house. He's going to make me look at LiveLeak all night. E-Bombs World. E-Bombs World, yeah. But now it's like,

You go on Twitter, you watch the video, and then the next one that Otto plays, it's like, here's Ukraine. Here's a drone attacking a Russian. Yeah, you liked watching this guy die? Well, we've got more death videos for you. You watch like a half-court shot, and then you're like, here's a family dying. And then Twitter's like, we're just trying to get... Like, what are you into? Like, we go, we're trying to get a...

feel free you're like i don't think i'm that i don't think i'm that big of a scale yeah i think i would like it tightened up a little bit yeah bring back cat videos just some puppies run around every yeah but the worst is i know when i click on it like i'll my fascination is there so like the shark video i saw the woman's leg it was horrific i clicked on it and after i clicked on it's like shit i know the algorithm just got me i'm gonna see a

flick past stuff to see if I can get the algorithm off me. Yeah, right. Yeah, shake the algorithm. Shake the algorithm. You're just like, no, no. And then you start, I feel like you see it start coming down. It's pretty weird. It's pretty, yeah. It's crazy to watch. It's crazy to watch. It's crazy to watch, too, though. I think you're on the right track. Like, if you go on Instagram, you just like enough dog posts.

Next thing you know, the For You page is just cute puppies. Oh, yeah, mine's all just big titties and, like, cheeseburgers. Yeah. Yeah, I've got it locked out. Those things go together. Yeah, right, exactly, exactly. All right, so what's, are you, so you're not going to tour for a while. You got a show in the works? I have a few things, uh,

And so if they come out, they'll come out. I'd hear about them before this year's up. So, you know, you never know what's ever going to happen. So, yeah, I've got a few things, like, you know, trying to write a movie and some other things. So we're trying to, you know, roll into some other stuff. That's awesome. Yeah, I'll have a special come out at the end of the year and then all that. That's so good. Are you going to act in the movie? Are you writing it for yourself? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh. Is your dad going to act?

I mean, I'll give him a pardon. He'll be mad if you don't. What's it about? What's the movie about?

Well, we just started. We're working on the deal. It's like I'm just riding over the ride. It's just, you know, I don't know. My movies are all going to be PG. It's like I'm just – because I'm clean, and everybody go do whatever you want to go do. I'm just doing my little thing over here. And so it's like I'm just going to do that. You know, I miss a lot of those old movies like Home Alone and Uncle Buck and all these kind of –

Stuff that was very fun and just trying to see if we can get that stuff going. Uncle Buck is the best. Uncle Buck's the best. I got a dumb question. Because you are a clean comic, do you ever think about swears? I don't know. Are you thinking about the F word right now? No, I blocked it out. Okay. I blocked it out of my head right there. I got a force field around my brain and it won't get in.

No, yeah. I mean, yeah, I'm not better than anybody. It's I just don't do it stuff and try to just not do it. There's enough doing it. There's enough comics that do it and they're all the best and they're funny and all that. So I just you should flip it. You should you should become like the vegetarian of swear words and be like, I am better than you.

Do you know that saying this many swear words will take 10 years off your life? Yeah. Take it real hard and go, I look down on you. I look. I feel I will pray for you all right past that camera. Yeah. Do you know how many baby cows had to die for you to say fuck? Yeah. Like, think about that. A ton. Yeah. A ton. You just start judging everyone. Yeah. It's not a bad way to go. Yeah.

Yeah. Was there like a year where you swore? Did you try it and not like it? Oh, you had a bad boy face? Yeah, bad boy face. No, yeah, I've swore. I'm not perfect, but I'm not, you know, I've done, I've made a ton of mistakes. I used to drink. I used to do all this. But it's, I just never, but on stage, there was a couple that, I think I have a couple things where I like said a couple curse words. And I'm just disappointed that I did it now. Mm-hmm.

I didn't do it. I did a lot of it because I grew up in the South, Southern Christian home. I wasn't allowed to watch any of this stuff and all this. So I didn't because I never wanted my parents... I felt bad if my parents would see me do comedy and I was being dirty. So I just started doing that. And now with comedy, there's not that many clean comedians. This is just the way I think now and the way I kind of write. So I'm just going down this lane and then...

I mean, there's just not a ton of clean guys out there. The times that you did do it, you'd probably look back on and be disappointed that you allowed yourself to like be pushed into doing that because maybe you thought it was a cool thing to try. Yeah, I mean, sometimes if you hang out with comics and stuff, like it can get, you know, it'd be like if you're hanging out with like army buddies or cops or, you know, where it can get like, you know, you sound like a maniac and then you got to go back to reality where you're like, you got to calm it down. Stop talking like that. Yeah. And so, uh,

But, you know, it's like, I mean, I don't know if disappointed. Like, I'm not, you know, I'm trying. The whole point of when I was clean is I didn't want anybody to even notice it. Yeah. And that was the thing. No, you don't. You don't notice it. And it was just like, I'm just doing my little thing. And like, if you notice, great. If you don't.

bad great you know and you just go from there no i've seen you live a couple times and it's you just sit there and you're like this guy is just incredible on stage it's never even popped in my head yeah yeah that's the yeah that's the the goal of it yeah and when it helps me with like if i'm not gonna talk about sex you know it's like well then that's a huge chunk that i can't talk about so then it makes you talk about other stuff that's

either my family or all this other stuff. But I mean, the comics, I mean, I watched, you know, every, you know, all the, Bill Burr was a huge influence on me. Like I, cause I was in New York and I watched him,

really like a lot of... I mean, he was probably 10 years in when I first saw him. But then I saw him, I kind of take off. So like Burr was like a giant influence on me. And I would take the influences, I would get Dave Attell. Dave Attell's another one that's like... I mean, he's the, I think, the best ever. And then he's just the funniest. He's the guy, if I had to buy a ticket for any comedian, I would buy a ticket for Dave Attell. And if...

But watching them, you would just take stuff that you learned from them and then I would just put it – I just wouldn't – I would do it my way. Yeah. But I would take their advice, their stuff that you learned from them and see what they do and then just go from there. I feel like there's a couple different types of stand-up comedians. One is that will actually take somebody who wants to learn and help them learn. And then some comics that just don't want to help anybody.

Yeah, usually young. I think it's young. When people get stuff young, that's a big problem. I joke and say you either make it at 20 or 40 and no one makes it in the middle.

And so it's like you basically either come out of the gate and you're like, boom, gone. Or you're going to grind it out for the whole time. And then, and you know, I was one that got, and you're trying the whole time in your 20s. But then, you know what? It takes 20 years, man. And when it does, you're like, oh, I'm glad it does. Because I can sit in my career and I like have an act and you just feel like you have more, like, you know, you're not as like,

nothing can just come out and take you under. Like, you're not built on stilts or what's that saying? Yeah, it's also, I mean, it's a fucked up thing that we do as just human beings where it's like if someone gets success at 20, everyone's like, God damn it, he doesn't deserve that. When someone gets success at 40, we're like, man, he really, he did it all the right way and grinded. It's like... Yeah, well, they get, you know, it's, yeah, it's hard. It's hard when you see it and it's hard for...

My buddy Julian McColl used to have a joke about Britney Spears where he's like, if you gave me a million dollars when I was 18, I'd be dead. Yeah. And so it's like that's what happens. You got like a Justin Bieber. You're like, yeah, you're giving these kids. And they become more powerful than their parents because they have so much money. And it's a dynamic that's just like, yeah, you're lucky that it's not – this person is not – you know, he seems like a fine person. I don't know him at all. But LeBron James. LeBron James should be –

I mean, on another planet. It's crazy. And that guy. Since he was 16. Yeah. I never judge anyone. Like when we get to talk to a lot of, you know, celebrities and athletes, anyone I meet that has been famous when they were like in their teenage years, because like maybe they were going to be the first round pick. Everyone knew when they were 16. It's like,

I don't judge who you are because your life is just so different. So different. And your experiences are so different that no one in the world can relate outside of like a handful of people. The only thing I would, for the ones that do it, they need to be at least have awareness. Yeah. That you are getting, that's where it goes wrong is when they don't have the awareness that they think their life is kind of everybody's life. Right. And so...

They just are like, yeah, I'll just – and that's when they start telling you how to vote and start doing all this stuff. Yeah, true. And you're like, dude, you don't follow any of this stuff. It's like, just stay out of it. So I have awareness that you're like, yeah, yeah. My life is insane, so I'm not going to tell you how to go live your life because I don't even – you know.

I've never had any of them. I've had millions of dollars from the get-go. I think we've done a good job with that on this show in that we try not to delve into stuff that people don't want to hear us preach about anything. They don't want to hear our thoughts on important topics. They come to us for us to be dumb and laugh about sports. I would feel so weird to try to tell someone how to think. That's why y'all built to what you have been built to is because people can come here as a...

uh, distraction. They don't need you to tell them how to run their life. And, you know, they don't, you know, the, the dad that's picking his kids up and the mom and the single mom and the, all the, all the situations, they don't need to be told. They're like, your job is entertain them, have fun. And then you,

You dance what you dance. And if you want to do that stuff, the influence stuff, you've got to dive into it. You've got to be all in. You've got to be all in. You have to know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah. You've got to go like... When you don't know what you're talking about, it's like, why is this person thinks they're more important than me and they actually don't know what they're talking about? That will drive you insane. Yeah, people are very smart. I think people underestimate... Like an audience, the audience is... Yeah. They're the smartest people in the world. Way smarter than us. Yeah. And so you just...

You know, you're like, I'm here to be a distraction, and I don't want to be telling anybody anything. Yeah. What's your distraction now? Politics. Oh, the Middle East. Guys, saying all that, I do think we have a big problem. I'll golf. You know, that kind of is. I mean, it's hard to have a distraction. I have a lot of things that I want to do, and so...

I think about that a lot. I'm just kind of rolling. I think I have a big appetite. I just want to keep things moving forward. I watch a lot of old movies.

Like just dumb old movies. Like, no, like 90s. Oh, okay. Yeah, I was just saying. Like, yeah. I hate when people are like, I watched this like black and white film from 1940s. Like, that can't be that good. I went and watched The Cuckoo Nest. That's a good movie. It is. I bailed half. Like, but I bet it's great. I bet it's unbelievable. You bailed on? I didn't bail on it. I just got, then I got tired and I haven't gone back to it.

But I was trying to be better at watching these movies that are the greatest thing ever, but it was a lot. Yeah, I mean, it was, but I, maybe I'll go back and watch. So what 90s movie? And then I was, you know what, I was actually, did I talk about this last? I was annoyed because I bought it, and then it was on Netflix. Did I talk about it, y'all, with that? No, but yeah, that does. I bought it. Yeah, I bought it. And then the next day I saw it, it was on Netflix, and I'm just so annoyed because

that it sits there yep and i'm like i didn't and why didn't i just watch it on yeah yeah so i have a bad taste can you get a refund if you if you bought a movie no i don't think so my wife gets mad because i'll buy them instead of renting them and she's like you're not gonna watch this again i'm like but what if i really like it yeah she's like and i've never really liked a movie to rewatch it like that but she's like just stop buying it just rent it yeah

I'm like, I need to buy it. When you buy a movie now, you don't even get anything. No. You should get something. It's nice when you buy a movie, you used to have the VHS or the DVD, you put it on your wall, then it becomes like a piece of art in your house. It's like, look, I bought Die Hard 2.

That's pretty cool. Now it's just like it lives inside your television. Yeah, you're just like, oh, I don't even remember which app I bought it on. Yeah. I know some guys that do DVDs, and they keep DVDs. That's kind of cool. And I've kind of liked it because we were at a show, and they had a flea market out there.

front so we walked around and you see you're looking through all those dvds and like you're seeing the cover and all that stuff and you're like getting to read them and it's like yeah that is pretty fun like yeah you know because you can scroll on netflix or whatever and you're just like you're never going to find something yeah uh but that you're like kind of like you only have this many choices you don't need too many choices you're like i need it to be like a limit

Yeah. I'm going to watch Saving Private Ryan again. Yeah. That's pretty much it. Or Forrest Gump. Yeah. It's always felt like Tom Hanks on DVDs. Yeah, I watch a lot of – I did Equalizer a bunch. I like watching movies that I've already seen because then you can kind of zone out but be in it in like enough distraction. Training Day, that's a good one for that. Equalizer, they made Equalizer 2, which doesn't make any sense mathematically.

After the first one, it's already equalized. He did a bad job equalizing. Well, then they did it again. A third time. Does it equalize a three? You should be an action star.

That's where we're going. I've got to lose some weight. I'm a mess right now. You've got to bulk up. You've got to do steroids and then have people magazine say, find out Nate Bargatze's tips to dieting. And it's like, he drank orange juice. And I give the tips. Well, you drink orange juice and you woke up and did 100 push-ups and they just leave out the part you did steroids. I did. I am on it.

So much stuff. I love it when they do that. They're like, how did this guy get ready for the Marvel? It's a domestic violence charge against him and his wife last night. I'm like, I'm just drinking oranges. I go, I'm not. Don't read into that stuff. I just do 100 sit-ups a day. The world's first clean action star. You just show up and you're like, come on, man. Chill out. Put down their guns. You're right, Nate.

You're right. Yeah. It's just real quick. It's a real quick movie. Yeah. Equalizer. We're just not, it's like, I would like to have a conversation with you about doing this drug stuff. Don't mind.

I love Will Levis, the quarterback. We've got DeAndre Hopkins. What's the other receiver? We picked up another receiver this year. I like the Snead dude from Kansas City that we've got. So I think he's got, especially in our division, Houston's going to be a tough division, but I think we can do it. Will Levis is a very exciting dude, and we've needed some that energy from him.

kind of in it where you know he set up and did the first down so it's like that kind of excitement so i think we can get in the i think we're going to play off and you got and you got your coach's dad too yes coaching yeah one of the best coaches in the league yes so it's uh i you know it's going to be tough but i mean i think we still have like a really legit team yeah you know it's like we didn't i don't think we really went backwards yeah new stadium coming soon yeah what is that

They're talking about a baseball team, too. Oh. I don't know. It's like one of those. I think every city probably is like, I think we're getting one. No, Nashville's one of these baseball teams. I think they're number one. They're the first MLB team. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, the growth in Nashville's been nuts. It's nuts. I saw a Skyline picture from like, it was like a 15-year difference. Yeah. We have a building called the Batman Building because it looks kind of like Batman.

And I remember when that was built, and there was no skyline, so that was like the tallest building. You're like, you know, we drove downtown to go back, and you see, look at that building. Oh, my God. I couldn't believe it. They made a building. It's everywhere. Yeah. It's great. Yeah, and Nashville's blown up on the entertainment scene, too.

Okay, let's wrap up. We got FAQs, memes.

Hank. Hank. Memes found him. Hank reads him. FAQ, what is the average time of night you all finish recording each show? Oh. It depends wildly on what season it is and what day it is. I would say football season. What do you think the average is, though? Year round. Well, here, you're a math guy. Yep. Football season, I would say. I think it's day dependent. Yeah, no, no. I'm saying Tuesdays at four, we're done.

Thursdays at 11.30. I was going to say later. Well, I was going to say like... No, not with Central Time in the... I feel like we're out of here past midnight a lot on Thursdays.

No, because Thursday night football. During the offseason, we don't do super late. It's about the average. I know. We're getting through it. We're working our way through it. We're showing our work. But I think Thursday night football, because it starts at 7, so usually we're recording the first 10 minutes. What we do in the football season, this is probably very boring for everyone, is Tuesdays we'll just record in the afternoon. It's our one day that we can record early. Thursdays we'll record the majority of the show in the afternoon, and then we'll record

the first 10 minutes after Thursday night football. And then Sundays, the bear of a day, because we don't start recording until Sunday night football, probably halftime. And usually we don't leave till like 1230. And then the guys shout out the boys in the booth because Max memes, uh, pug Shane, they don't leave till like four or five. Yeah. That's the better question. What time do you guys usually leave on a Sunday night in October? Uh,

Depends on how early we start recording. If we start at halftime of Sunday Night Football, we're done at midnight. Central time has helped. Yeah, central time has helped. When we were in New York, I've gotten back at like 8 a.m. When we used to do Hoboken, it was a race to...

Get it out before people woke up. Yeah. Like, we wouldn't be able... Sometimes we'd put it out at 7 o'clock and we'd still be uploading it and people would be like, what the hell? Where's the show? Where's the show? Shout out. That's really it. It's not about this side of the glass. It's about that side of the glass. Yeah. There are only like three, I'd say, right? And then, yeah, it's...

It's dependent on season. It's like spring, like NBA playoffs, we'll record a little bit. We've gotten a lot better where we used to just do the full show late at night. Now we do the majority of the show, and then if there's an NBA game we're watching, we'll just do the first 10 minutes of the show so people have whatever happened. Yeah.

Same with the NHL, NBA. It's always weird because sometimes the game that everybody cares about is the last game. Right. And so then we'll have to stay up a little bit later. College basketball, the NCAA tournament, a little bit later on that, especially on that Friday, that Thursday night show going on Friday. But yeah, I would say the average, Hank, to answer your question, I would say we average finish recording at like seven.

Yeah. And the big takeaway here is memes, Max, Pug, Shane. Those are the heroes. Yeah. Those are the guys. You having kids changed the game too. What do you mean? We've been doing a little earlier. Yeah. It's been earlier on. Nicer. The thing is, our average is probably we are out of here at seven. Me, big guy. Yeah.

But we I don't think we ever actually finished recording a show at seven. Yeah. And we have. Yeah, you're right, because I've I try to get home by like four thirty every day so I can be with my kids. I know there's some people out there who think I literally never see my kids, but I do. Would you guys say like once once or twice a week I don't go home or like can't go home like tonight? I'm not going to go home, but pretty much every day I'm out of here by four thirty.

Why does the logo of the show have a cartoon of Big Cap, but the other guy isn't PFT? That's a good question. Good question. Fair question. Are you new here? So I think this person hasn't seen my social profile, but it's the picture of that guy. And it's a guy in the stands, and he's cheering, and it was during like a week...

preseason game. We figured out what preseason game it was and it was the Seahawks and the Titans and we put our best guy on the case to find the actual screenshot of when I found this guy because it was back in 2010 and I was starting a Twitter account and I was like, what would an average NFL commenter look like? I was like, this is the guy right here. This is 100% the dude. So we tried to look him up later to go back to that game from 2010 and

find the exact screenshot and our best man, Billy football, um, kind of just didn't do it. So we never found that out, but maybe, I don't know. They said it. Should we put Huey on the case? Yeah. He won't find anything, but we can do it. Huey. Can you just spend like an hour trying to find it? Okay. If you can find the broadcast of the 2010 Seahawks Titans preseason game and find this guy in the stands, uh,

and just give me all the footage that they have of them. That would be awesome. Huey, question for you, FAQ. How are you doing week in?

Pretty good. Yeah? How's the internet treating you? It's good, yeah. I don't know if it's award season around the corner and AWLs are just in a good mood trying to get an award here, but yeah, everyone's been pretty cool. Everyone's for the most, yeah. We did, I want to apologize to you. We did a bad job your first episode. We probably asked you too many questions and you talked for like 20 minutes and people were like, the show is just changing forever. Wait, what did you just say? Yeah, no, I just written.

me because I was like... Oh, ripped you. Yeah. Why do you think we ripped you? We just asked you a question. Oh, yeah. They ripped you. I'm like, dude, this is the most I'm going to ever probably talk. Correct. And I'm like, I don't... Yeah. And I understand it. We overreact on everyday things. Yeah. They were like, this guy is now talking for 30 minutes show. I was like, I tried to get in the weeds a little bit defending you. I was like, dude, he's going to talk...

an amount that's appropriate for where he's at. Yeah, you guys just had to give a little backstory of everything. I was good. Yeah, I think people are getting comfortable with you. We still got to figure out the... I like Huey. Someone said Curly. We can't keep changing. It's got to be Huey. I feel like he doesn't know his name yet. He's like a dog. He hasn't responded to his name yet.

So I feel like we still have a second to change. Nobody in the office knows either because I get like three different names from – I get whole Huey and Matthew. So it's just – I mean, I do like the idea of you as being – you did screw up. We had a – it will come out, I don't know, in a couple weeks. Mason Plumlee came by to give us a basketball lesson. That was the perfect time to introduce yourself as Huey and see how it goes. Yeah, that was my fault. Okay.

You're going to have more chances on Grit Week. Yeah, it's going to be a lot of Hueys. I need to hear Hubert out of your mouth. I'll say them both. I'll go back to a person and call myself Hubert. I'll go on, you know, same person, three different names, see what they respond to. Just be like, Hubert, but you can call me Huey. Yeah, Hubert, I go by. Yeah. Make sure to make Matthews, you know, my middle name. That might be a little iffy with, you know, everything going on.

What? I don't know. What? The Trump shooter's name was Matthew. Oh, okay. I don't think anyone's made that connection. I'm just saying. That was my first thought. Now I'm thinking about it, too. Huey likes porn as well. Yeah. Oh, no. They released two people out of the bunker that week. Oh, no. Yeah.

Boy. That's a what? Okay, Matthew. Yeah. Everyone was thinking. Watch out for those slanted roofs. His name's Thomas Matthew Crooks, right? Yeah. Yeah. I did not put that together. No, I didn't either. All right, Hank, last one. My questions for the boys in the booth, Max, me, Shane, Pug. Do your family and friends outside of Barstool typically listen to the show, and how often do they mention slash bring up things that happen on the show?

Max? My mother listens to every show. What's up? How we doing? Sorry about the time when you said you hated titty fucking. Yep. My girlfriend has never listened to the show. Okay, that's good. Yep. Look at that chick. My friends are kind of like 50-50 on it. Okay. Yeah.

Like close friends being 50-50 is great. Yeah. Like my friends. My friends are like 70-30 no. Really? My friends are aware, but like it's not like every second that they're. Yes. I have a couple of friends. I'm always more surprised when they bring it up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I had a moment with one of my good friends not too long after the show started where he was like, hey,

Hey, I just want to let you know that I want to support your show, but it's just too fucking weird to hear your voice in my iPad. I completely understand that. Like, if you know someone that well, it's like, yeah, that would be weird. Yeah. That's why I never listen to Ryan Russillo. Yeah.

No, we love Ursula. Ryan's got a lot of friends. He must have a lot of friends out there. Yeah. Ursula's got a lot. Yeah, that's a smart podcasting strength. That was mean. That was mean. That was mean, Ryan. We're going to see him a great week. I love you, Ryan. We love him very much. We made it sound like he's dying. Yeah. We love you, Ryan. I was in the car. Oh, Max. Tell the story real quick. I didn't know if that was about to be done. Max saw, and when we see Ryan, we'll have him explain inside. Max got to see-

what being friends with Ryan Rosillo is and it's so funny he called me we were going to the dingers thing and I was he was on speaker and he didn't even say hi he just like it actually sounded like a podcast was coming through he was like what was he even what was he saying something with something with LeBron or basketball he's like in this foot and I was just like oh good to see you too yeah Max got to hear you start bursting out laughing he was like hey Ryan what's up and then immediately it was like

So LeBron did this. And he, like, did the cadence of, like, as he's, like, doing a podcast. I was like, yeah, that's how it always is. It's perfect. It's a perfect friendship. Get right to it. All right. We good? All right. Great show, boys. Good job. Numbers. 20. 56. 91. 36. I'm so confident with that. Three. 99 pug. 99 pug. They're not here. Shane watches the show on a stream and never knows when to come in.

Wait, he's watching us right now? Yeah, every time. That's sick fuck. Get the fuck in here, Shane. We'll give him 10 seconds. Count them out. 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. See ya. What was everyone's numbers again real quick? 8, 20, 36, 3. Hank, what was your number? 91. 29. Ooh. 29. 29.
