We were drinking some of the twisted lemonade. I had a party pack. I actually had a half and a half out by the lake last night. It was awesome, watching the sun go down, great scenes, twisted tea, great sponsor for Tahoe week. So go get a twisted tea summer party pack, get that twisted lemonade, get the half and a
original as well while you're there, get a refreshing twisted tea today. Let's get twisted all summer long. Okay, let's go. Welcome to part of my take, presented by Draft Kings, the Crown is yours. Today is Friday, July 10th and PFT and Bob Bay and France are moving on. And Bob Bay, best player in the world, France. Again, they just seem to be unstoppable. When we first got the bracket, I said I was going to go
chalk and just bet on France. They just seem like there's nothing that you can do to stop them.
βYeah, it's between him and Max just, he just did a fat bastard impression. And I think hisβ
nickname should be, uh, get in my dimbele. But dimbele is, is, is fucking incredible, too.
What are you guys looking at over there? It's the France game that just ended. Oh, you have a TV right there. Yeah, I got TV. God, God. But yeah, France looks unstoppable. I know that we talked about when the heartbreak is going to come for England and how it might be from the North God this weekend. I would like to, I think I'm going to push it back a little bit. I think England's going to win this weekend. And it feels like it's Argentina, England,
Faulkland War, they hate each other, the hand of God, Maradana, losing good, losing to Argentina at that stage. That would be the most heartbreaking loss they could possibly have. So I'm going to give England, you get one more round of hope and saying that it's coming home. And then you will have the realization that it might not actually be coming home after all. Yeah. And when's
day was the first day that we did have a World Cup game in like three weeks? It was very odd,
very, you know, I was just like, where's my soccer game in the middle of the day? So this weekend should be great. The other story. And we're going to, we're not going to talk about the only soccer, but the other story is, uh, oh my God, it is open season on Christian pool such people really don't like him. I actually think here to PFT, I'm going to walk back slightly like a baby step, uh, a
βwaggle when you're in the tea box of my take about it's okay. We just suck at soccer. I think with theβ
amount of vitriol that has gone towards Christian pool of such, we have shown for the first time we might be a real soccer country because that actually, it's nuts how he's gotten bashed by everyone. And Christian yellowish skates buy. It's great. No one says anybody by Christian yellowish pool
Said she does have a, he does have a broken, uh, he had a, uh, hand doesn't g...
listen to the show. That's unfortunate. That's okay. Yeah. Um, he has a, uh, what, he just looked around
βlike, huh? What's wrong? Hey, the vibes are bad vibes are high as hell. Okay. All right. All right.β
All right. But yeah, you're right. The, the knives were out for, for Pulaske. Like two, maybe he did end up having a real injury, but it was pretty much anyone who's been part of any portion of U.S. Soccer at any point men or female were like, hey, we all hate that guy. Yeah. Yeah. It did seem, it did seem weirdly personal. I, I'm just sick of relying on him to be the face of U.S. Soccer because it's so clear that he's not, um, the, the injury, the tibia, the, uh, micro fracture that he had.
I've seen some doctors online point out that it's, it's a bone bruise, but it's the type of language where you say like, oh, if you, if you can't say bone bruise, if you dig down and describe exactly what's going on, technically, it's like micro fractures. It's a sprained ankle. It's a bone, but it's like, yeah, like a sprained ankle, you're like, oh, he's got, he's got ligament damage. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, uh, yeah, he's got a deep contusion for bruise. But yeah, listen, I'm, I'm as upset
or disappointed as anybody with Pulaske, but there have been a lot of people that have made it weirdly personally. Right. So I'm saying, and I actually think that's a positive for U.S. Soccer. And what we lose are minds about something. Yeah. The, the fact that it's gotten so toxic towards this one guy. So I go, shit, maybe, maybe we could make become, become a country that people cared that much about it. Uh, Shadow, Carly Lloyd, because it, it feels like every four
years when she talks about soccer. She says something that people, like, say, whoa, whoa, back it off, Garly, please apologize. That was weird, that seemed personal. And then she asked to be like, fuck you, I'm not going to apologize for Jack. She said, uh, she said, I don't know anyone in a apology. This is she was talking about Pulaske. Uh, I don't know anyone in a apology. My comment wasn't about his post game interview. He skipped a gold cup because he wanted to rest and be ready
for the world cup. He ended up resting the whole year. That's the facts. Nothing personal against him. Uh, she's way better than Lexi Lollis. Uh, Carly Lloyd knows which is also, that's a lie. Nothing personal. There's some personal. There's some personal. Um, but yeah, it's actually would be, I'd be baby better if she was like, yeah, there's some, there's some personal in here. I don't fucking like him. Yeah. I don't fuck with that. Yeah. Yeah. You guys all said he was
awesome. And he was, he is a, he's not personal. Very disappointed. Yeah. He's, he swirbed me for, uh, for a photo like six years ago. But they didn't even hate him. The other knives are out
towards, uh, our coach, Pocatino, Pocatino. I'd never actually, I heard so many people
pronounce it different ways. Yeah, I don't think about it. I'm learning how to pronounce it. Correct. The way he wanted. Um, but one guy who is in on him remaining ran into Frank the tank yesterday here in top. Oh. And so I just, we walked up, said what's up to him. And just mentioned bummer about the world cup. And then he goes, we should keep our coach out of nowhere. And I was like, Frank, that seems for people to say what you coach. And he goes, it's not his fault. It's all
these Harvard guys that are telling you how to do the analytics. And he just started ranting about Harvard. All of a sudden, and I was like, he just got to be mad about some Harvard guy for the Metz. He, no, freeze. Oh, freeze. Yeah, freeze. The goalie went to Harvard. That's he got it in his head. And so freeze reminded him. Yes. Yes, Paul Harvard guy. Yes. So it's Harvard's fault. It's Harvard's fault.
βYeah, I'm with Frank on that. What about Alexie Lawless? What do you say?β
He, uh, I've been talking about how, you know, soccer shoe expensive. This, that third, he went the
other way and said, do you want to tell men and women in America who make their living in New soccer that they need to make less? It's a business. I want them to make as much money for their service as the market will pay them. If they can make a ton of money, then they should and all celebrate it. He'll celebrate. Capitalism. Listen, we're the only country in the world that that does youth soccer that way. And if we just do it harder, yeah, then we'll be as good as the
rest of the world. Yeah, it seems like Alexie Lawless might that might be personal. There might he might have some personal ties to people who are like, money off of soccer. Yeah, of you soccer. I also think that Lawless, I mean, he is actually good for TV. I have my own personal beefs with Alexie Lawless going back to when he told me to buy it. It really shitty amp when I was 12 years old. But, um, where? Well, he was, I was a ballboy for a brief period of time for the U.S. men's
national team when they practiced at George Mason University in Fairfax County. And I was picking up a guitar and learning how to play it. I was like, what kind of amp should I get? And he told me get a crate. They're really good amps. They're the fucking worst amps in the world. They, they suck ass, crate amplifiers up your asshole buddy. Um, and then I found out later that he was endorsed by crate kind of sounds like someone's having right now. And he didn't disclose that. Yeah. So what
βis he exactly? I don't trust the guy. Yeah. Who, who, who, how is he gaining money from you soccer?β
I'm sure there's a lot of ways. I'm sure he's, uh, he's involved somehow and some sort of coaching thing. Yeah. But I, I also think with him, and this is why he's actually good on TV
Is because he will just take that contrarian take and he'll just own it.
And he's actually really good at that. And so as much as people are getting uncomfortable watching
βlike on re and Latin and him go back and forth, I think it makes really good TV. Yeah. I love it.β
I agree. Um, do you guys want to do something on this show? Do you want to put the show's reputation on the line? Sure. You guys ready? Yeah. All right. Uh, pardon my take. What's the,
what's the day? So I tenth, uh, we are the first to report the LeBron James is going back to Cleveland.
So please credit us when shams or chef there or someone else tries to say that they had a first, we had it first. LeBron James is a Cleveland Cavalier yet again for the third time in his career. Congrats to the Cavs. Do you guys all agree? I 100% agree. We were talking about those max. You don't agree. Get on the mic, max. 76 are max. I mean, stuff, stuff's been here all week and and I've heard people, you know, yelling, we'll bronze name out of him and he kind of
like gives him a little wink. Dream on in LeBron are going on a date. I don't know if you saw that report. Yeah, they're going on a date. So I saw Steph Curry give someone a wink when he said LeBron. Do you want to say Warriors and Cavs? I'm filed with Cavs. It's, it's the podcast reputation. I, for about selfish reasons, hope he's not in these. Do we want to split it? Do we want to do two and two? So that way we can be right? No, I'm reporting the Cavs. Okay. I think it's the Cavs,
but I'm reading every report in hopes that it's a six or so. I just, in my heart of hearts, I can't support Cavs when I want it to be six or so. I know, but the, it's going to be Cavs. It's going to be the Cavs. What he's doing right now and I guess the Warrior, like the
βSteph factor would be the only thing that which I don't, Miami doesn't really make sense and,β
and the sixes don't really make sense. He, what? I don't, I don't think he's going to finish his career in Philadelphia. I also, basketball. Why is it makes the most sense for sure? Oh, we're doing basketball. Why is okay? Basketball. We talked to win horse. What did win horse say? I wasn't there for that at all. Oh, we know what's in the show.
It is as heck. I said the half of this is most important thing that the sixes are missing. They,
like, they don't have a, Lebron could be like a true point guard to be a facilitator for the, good players on the, for the stars on the team. And he's a four that could defend multiple positions of which we do. Do you have space for Brownie? Yeah, sure. You make space for Brownie. Oh, I mean, sounds like you don't really want Brownie either way. I think all of this is like the sixers talk, the Warriors talk, Miami talk. He's just making it seem like he has all these options,
so then he can be the hero to go back to Cleveland. That's, yeah, me and Big Cat were talking about this a little bit yesterday and it does make sense. Like, when Lebron has done his free agency stuff in the past, there's been no need to have his agent go on podcast to talk about all the different options that he has. It's like, that's something that you do when you're not necessarily operating from that same position of strength that maybe you once had. I'm not saying that there's
not multiple teams that want Lebron, but you don't go out and try to like drum up enthusiasm about Lebron and say we're open for business, send us your offers. If you really are going to have that many offers, you don't say shit and you get a lot of offers, but you don't have to like,
βsay, hey, we're open for applications for Lebron service. Right. I think that he's probably,β
there's probably been some overtures made, maybe from Philly. Well, I'm not, yeah, I'm not, I'm not saying that those teams don't want Lebron or wouldn't like have the conversations. I just think he's going to finish in Cleveland and this is going to be like drawn out for a couple more days, maybe weeks where it's like, oh, he could go here, he could go there and then he's like, hey, I had to go home and I'm like, oh, man, what a hero. Maybe he wants to go to the
Blazers because he's like, that's an owner and a family of owners and we really know how to win championship. It's true. Maybe he saw the Stanley Cup and he was like, I don't think the way that guy operates. So the PFT's alluded to is Tom Dundin, the owner of the hurricanes. They got the teams names and it teams players names engraved on the Stanley Cup and he included five of his family, six, I think of his family members, including a kindergarten. Yeah. There's a five-year-old on the
Stanley Cup. People are pissed. I'm, right. Hopefully so. The first games, the first names that are
engraved are Tom Dundin. He's number one. Virosca Dundin, Kayden Dundin, Dax Dundin, Drew Dundin, double days, Blake Dundin, Blake of the year, and Tason Dundin. So they are the first members of the hurricanes to be recognized for winning a Stanley Cup. This is crazy. I was trying to wrap my head around it where it's like, hey, if I own a team, would I put my kids' name on the, no, I don't think I would, because it's like, he's guys worked their ass off. Also, you're just putting rich
kids' name, those kids are going to be fine no matter what. Yeah. What would we do it? I would, I would probably put my name. No, no, you're not even fine. You'll be towards the end. Oh, no, no, the owner, I think should be on there. The owner owns the team. The owner is paying, like, the owner makes perfect sense. Anything else, if you don't work for the team, and you're just a
Five year old who's, you know, sitting at home, probably doesn't even watch a...
probably have to go to bed, right? Because some of the games like, Jason was saying up. No way,
no way. So yeah, that's crazy. It is crazy if they all went first, too. I know. That's,
I'd be pissed for our as a player. Yeah. We're like, someone that works on the team, like, there's a lot of staff training staff, actually played a role in them winning. They said that
βto also, like, this is, this has happened before. I think it was the 83 oilers. Yeah. Maybe. And theyβ
did, they went back and crossed out the owner's dad who put his dad on there. So he crossed it out. The owner was Peter Pachlinton. And his dad was, that name actually should stay. Yeah. Well, they did, based on the second's dad's name. Basel Pachlinton. Yeah, that was the father. That's you say. And that should say. That should be nasal. But basel Pachlinton. Yeah, I mean, should stay, taste them and, in Drew, get the fuck out of here. Basel, getting crossed out of
some of the chain would do probably. Hmm. Probably hates that stuff. That's cause you hate Basel. Probably. Like, there was this. One other and just brief item that I wanted to address today. If that's okay. Okay. I had a couple more. But yeah, go. Okay. So National Sports Podcast,
Dan Patrick. We ran in so amount here. Great to see Mr. Patrick as always out on the links here.
And he had an interview with Mike McDonald. Did you see this? No. So they asked the Super Bowl winning head coach the C.O.X. Mike McDonald. Who did you talk to to get prepared for the New England Patriots? Oh. Oh, thanks, Roland. Mike McDonald said there's one person he reached out to for advice who helped a lot. But he can't say who it is because it might be a conflict of interest. And it's
βnot Bill Belichick. Who do you think it was? Well, I mean, if you want to connect some dots, theβ
the coordinator of the C.O.X would leave and then go to work for the Raiders. Oh, they're the Super Bowl. Uh-huh. And so there's a lot of speculation given all the weird stuff that and Tom Brady still work with Joshua Daniels for many years. Yeah. And the Patriots offense looked very bad. Hmm. So a lot of people, not me, but a lot of people are speculating that that individual given the stuff that he said around the Super Bowl about how he doesn't have
a dog in the fight, et cetera, might be Thomas Brady. Henry, discuss. That would be a greadious of that was true. Uh, I don't believe it is true, but if it were, where that would be. Unforgivable. Not unforgivable, that would be a, uh, a blunish, a big blunish. Would it be a slap in the face? Big time. Hmm. He has slap in the face of the whole of the whole region. Hmm. So do you think there's any
βtruth to it? Percentage wise. Uh, could you see a world? No. Is that because you don't want to see theβ
world? Yes. Okay. That's on your eyes. I get it. I don't want to live that world. You got your head in the sand. Yep. It's fine. Well, yeah, PFT's got his head in space trying to, you know, come up with these conspiracy. So it's like, I mean, I didn't come up with the truth. You did. You named the player that would be the most delicious. I said that a lot of people are speculating that that's who it was. You connect with some dots. A lot of people are speculating. Not me. I'm actually with Hank. I
don't want to live in that world either. That's you. As a, as a, as a football fan and as a guy that bet on the Patriots thinking that there's no chance in hell that Tom Brady of all people would turn his back on. That's very nice of you and a friend of Hank and a friend of Hank's. Yeah, don't want it. He also said that the Argentina come back the other day, top 283. What did we say that again? He said when Argentina had that come back. Yeah. Yeah. He said that
tops 28 to 3. Wow, which I, I disagree with. Hank said that are Brady. No, Brady said that. Yeah. Hank? I don't know soccer, so I don't know. Okay. I don't think I don't think it did. What about I got a question. Thoughts of that came was rigged. Yeah. It might have been. I've a question for you, Hank. The, there was a report. Oh, they asked Jason Tatum about the Gillian Brown trade and he said he was unaware until it was reported. He found out just like everyone else. Do we believe that
for a second? Yeah. I'm sure I'm sure he knew that he was on the trading block and he didn't
know specifically when he got traded and he found out just like everyone else. You don't think he was told before? No. I'm just, but I'm sure everyone, all the all Brad Stevens, Jalen Brown, they, they talked about how, you know, he was going to be on the trading block and they were going to try and move him. So I'm sure Jason Tatum was also aware of that. But in terms of, he's probably playing a little, little cutesy. They were like, no one specifically told him, hey, this is the
Trade he found out like everyone else.
Okay. Yeah, I probably, right? He probably was, he's probably glued into some stuff, not every
single second, like, shits going down. Yeah, he says no. He's like, we're probably going to trade Jalen.
βRight. Okay. All right. Any other things, Zach, did you have anything?β
Yeah. No, I'm just looking forward to this, this next round of work up. That's where my full brain attention is right now currently. Yeah. I'm excited. Can't wait. The quiet trade is on hold right now because they have to finish their investigation. Yep. And it broke during an interview with an NBA guy. So I guess that'll be a tease. You'll have to wait to hear what random NBA personality has to say in response to the quiet trade. Yeah. Also,
spurs play by playing out there all the time, Fumble. Holy shit. Do you guys see that story? Yeah. That's a, what spurs are going to be good for a really long time. So story. He's the
spurs play by playing out there. His girlfriend accused him of cheating on the sister of a player
on the team, posted like all this stuff on social media and then the spurs fire them. So that's what reason? So he had a girlfriend and then his girlfriend took over his Instagram account. Yeah, he was away from his phone and posted picture being like, hey, this is me and my girlfriend. But then I screwed up and I cheated on her with this person who's the sister of a spurs play. There's probably rules about employees of the spurs dating family members of the spurs.
βI would imagine that's why he got fired. I don't know. I actually don't know how he, how that would work.β
Feel like it's a, it's a little, the water's a little muddy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, that now that I'm saying, yeah. I mean, that doesn't, he wasn't married. Right. And also, and it's also not a spurs. I don't know. Spurs players. They want to go to the house and find out you give us a three minute Zach researchers while we finish the other topics and give us all the details. Of how the spurs, why the spurs? I guess they could just fire and be like, he's a distraction.
I guess it could be, yeah. If a player, if the player wasn't cool, there's like, hey, don't date my sister. But again, like, that's kind of her decision. Right. She's an adult. Well, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. As far as we know, okay. Well, Zach's going to find out. Yeah.
I got no service, but we can, we can pass it first. We got to get this. We got no service.
We got no service. I got the, uh, it wasn't working. Come on Zach, you're under the gun. You can fire for just being a bad boy friend though. Yeah. That's the part of our stand. Is that against it? Against the law? It should be moved. If you cheated on his girlfriend. Right. That makes some shitty guy. But he also, uh, he's getting it. Zach's getting it. All right. Like, you guys see the guy who cut off his own penis and then lit his mom's garage on fire with it?
I did. Yeah. I did not know that. I don't understand. Like, he usually is like kindly. Yeah. He does his own fire starter. I'm your fire starter. You're a twisted fire starter. Maybe if you have like Clamydia, it catches on me. That's a burning sensation. I don't know. But I just saw the headline. I got a question. Okay. If I also didn't look like I, I would have, I'd be in tears if I was that mugshot. You got a penis? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, Spain and Belgium. They got a preview for that game on
tomorrow. We were rooting for Belgium at this point too. To further our claim is a good team. My thoughts, my, my honest thoughts or my, like, Belgium winning. Yeah. True. Good for us, right?
βYeah. No. I don't know. I'm, as a, as a, as a diehard. I'm not familiar. You have to tell me aboutβ
how, how I should be rooting for you in ultra. No. Okay. As an ultra. I think, I think, yeah, if Belgium wins and they beat Spain, then I will definitely be a big part of me that says to myself, Belgium's just a fucking wagon. And so there's no shame in getting your ass kicked by wagon like that. That's kind of how I, I feel like. Yeah. Um, also Conner McGregor's fighting on Saturday. Just a reminder to people and change your clocks. Mm. Uh, Zach, you got it. Oh, also, it's free Slurpee day. Yeah.
So Saturday. You're too creative. Yes. Free Slurpee. That's one of the best days of your entire year. Oh, we have, from what I can see, it's just this guy, bad boyfriend, had sex players relative. But how did the spurs disperse fire them? Do they say, why? He says can for in a fair. That's crazy. Is that in a fair though, if you're not married? Right. That's just cheating on your girl. This is being scumbag. All right. Fair was like you're like, like, like, wedding all the way up.
Was she married in her law? But also, I don't understand how they can fire. I, I'm not saying, Zach, I, my bad, had some other room. Uh, I, I'm not saying that like the spurs like you could fire anyone, but like to be like, hey, it's because of this. That's weird, right? Maybe if the play by play an answer was like, really gasping up the player on the spurs, who Cister was. Yeah. Like, I don't know why this guy's not in the game. I just know that I read the story and I immediately
Was like, uh, oh, man, like, if you, if you got fired as a play by play an an...
you're like, all right, I'll hope we find another job. Spurs are going to like, you could have been part of like, man, if they could go on to win multiple titles, you'd been part of like iconic calls and be like, hey, remember this guy's been, yeah. What if he just bad at his job and they're like, all right, that's true. It could be, it could be, it could be. We got a new guy could really nice
βof this great voice really talented deep vocab bag. Yeah, no sex drive. Does he think about women?β
Yeah. There's worth not thinking about women. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. What's that word? Would that be, would that be a sexual if you're not into anybody? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's like the clinical definition. You're not answering course, guys. Yeah. Yeah, not those guys just, they, they might still, if you're not in, of course, you might still think about women. You're not really into the whole. Yeah. The whole sentence. Like, uh,
no, I can never say you never, I never came out and said that he wasn't like, right, a blowjob guy.
So sometimes it's like, sometimes it sounds better than it is. Yeah, you ever like, uh, you ever have like a great date and then you're like, oh, I'm so excited for this and just kind of like, oh, man. All right. This is my dad. You come personally. Yeah, I'm actually going to say, no, no, Zach. I always come. Yeah. That's awesome. That's sick. That's good. That's part of us being Mark of Hell Street. It's true. Healthy bodice. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm in a nacho these days.
I just can't camera. You're like, I got off his dick. You see, can you see, crazy. I'm breaking news. Yeah. Have you guys seen this? Nell colon one stream? Uh, yeah. Guess who just appeared. Holy oldie. Oh, my God. Why, I guess are they in Canada? Yeah. Oh, they are in Canada. That makes sense. That makes sense. Listen, if something's going on in old and Canada, he had a picture with John Summit in like, he's everywhere. Yeah.
If oldie is everywhere. He just owns that. He's oldie is essentially like, uh, brave heart, the Irish guy. He's like, it's my island. That's oldie. Like, if you cross the border, you're just going to have to deal with oldie. Can it is a big ass country? Yeah. And it's like 70% covered by ice and the rest is covered by oldie. Yeah. He's actually a great person to have on that because they're, I think they're an hour like 90. Yeah, I'm thinking. Like, they're doing this.
βOh, they finished. Yeah. Oh, they got it. Probably because oldie showed up. But that's what I'm saying.β
Like, you need a guy like oldie to lift the spear. It's a squad because they got to be show down back. Yes. Also, Brooks kept him might be back. Oh, and so his max, we should have said something about
max on Monday. Max home was our, our guy max is playing in the British open because he finished second last
weekend. Yeah. So he read, he, what? Yeah. Oh, the open chain. I apologize. And yeah, Brooks, I think what do you shoot 500 or 400 in his first round? I was 400. 400. So just one stroke off the lead. But at that, uh, Scottish open, but listen, and we love Brooks. Did you not see Bryson hit that electric put in front of tens of people at the live Colorado event? Oh, I think he was doing a YouTube. Oh, that was a YouTube thing. Yeah. So Bryson was out on the course shooting.
Oh, that was live. One of his, I wouldn't, he's that crazy to think that would be live. Yes. Why? No, because the guy had a camera like two feet away from it. Yeah. You, you, I live does, create, live does golf shorts and louder and all that shit. No one goes to the events. I guess it could have been, I'm sorry. I should have known the, I didn't know the, the details
βof you. But yeah. So I think that live, that could have been a live event. It could have been aβ
watch live events that have looked worse. Bryson hit a massive camera, it was a guy with a camera like a foot in front of him. And the gallery, I knew it wasn't live because the gallery was way too loud. Yeah. Thank you, PFT. Where was the camera? It was right behind him. But again, I thought they do that. Don't they do cameras right behind you in the, in regular golf? I thought it could have been what I first got. I was getting angles. Yeah. But the fist bump he gave for the
YouTube video was, that was electric. Yeah. He was, he was so pumped. That's not a crazy location of the
camera. Is it? I've never seen that in live or haven't probably, it looks like us. Yeah. Oh,
so, okay, sorry. I apologize. But Bryson did hit that pot and he looked like he was having a time in his life. Mm-hmm. Time in his life. So he's crushing it. Yeah. He's absolutely crushing. He made the right decision. Okay. Let's do Mount Rushmore of food duose and then we will get to our interview with Larry Fitzgerald and firefest of the week. Okay. Before we get to Mount Rushmore Chevy, chill week is here. You know what that means. No schedules. No plans. Just more of the good stuff.
Chevy Silverado makes that possible. There's a reason Chevy's called the heartbeat of America and the Silverado keeps that heartbeat strong. These trucks work hard so you can chill harder
Whether that's getting out of town heading to the lake or just not turning ar...
probably should. It's got the capability of the space and the muscle. Everything you need for a proper summer coolers gear, whatever your version of chill looks like because at the end of the day, Silverado helps you tackle more of what you love. And let's be honest, you've earned the summer. Now it's time to go get it. So roll the windows down, turn the music up and just listen. That's the heartbeat of America. That's today's Chevrolet. Head over to Chevy.com to learn more today.
βOkay. Mount Rushmore of food duose. Oh, I think you're going to say food, food,β
duo. No. Come on. Dude. Come on. Food combination. combination. Food duose. Food combination. That's a big ruler. Respect. A bummer glad. Okay. We have, I mean, it's kill white people.
Doesn't it, bummer? I don't know. I just heard troops say it all the time. We have a tie first.
Team Max memes in myself are tied with PFT for 14 points. And then in last place are Zach and Hank with second place eight eight points. No, have you ever seen a golf leaderboard thing? Yeah, be captured here. You're three. Yeah. You're third. It's okay. I mean, that's still with them striking distance. I know things are starting to feel like there's a lot of pressures that came in asked me a couple of questions about like the the technicalities of this arrangement,
which tells me that there might have been some team descent. I don't know, some disagreements. No, they're just like, maybe after my clarification. Yeah. You're trying to figure out the way the law here on this draft. My team's had had a little internal descent as well. Like stage one PFT
has been feeling confident. And then there's second guest PFT. And I'm a stage one PFT is
starting to get upset with second guest PFT. Yeah, because it feels like maybe he's sabotaging him.
βZach's also been thrown around some pretty dangerous accusations. So we'll see how I think we'reβ
in a good spot. You know, I like to look at this as a marathon. You guys are both the two other teams are ahead a little bit right now. If if you're gasing yourself here, maybe we can catch the corner. What do you, what do you think about the dangerous accusation you've been thrown around though? Which one, which early in the season, which one that pandering you said? And because I picked big tits on weapons. And I simply said, but what about the fact that you were going to pick
big tits on mermaids if PFT didn't take mermaids? I think. Yeah. I don't think that that was more of like a lighthearted question at dinner. But I will say a tits to a good pick. Tits to a good pick. I mean, I was immediately not a weapons guy. That's fair. Tits are a weapon. I don't even think I won that draft. I think PFT. That's also true. Every point matters though. You know, any point matters. Okay. All right. So we're doing food combinations,
combination. We have first pick who has second pick. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. All right. We, uh, we're going to start with a just run the football. We're going to start with burger and fries, burger and fries first pick. Let's get picked pick. Would, would. Strong pick. Any problem? No. We're going to have a lot of short like. Yeah. Strong draft. Yeah. This is strong draft. This could be a cool by object and fries. Oh,
I guess it's not a kumbaya draft. Never mind. Yeah, burger. Yeah. How are we having a problem with burgers and
fast? But we are having a problem with burger and fries. So what is a burger consists of burger consists of multiple foods? It's a burger and fries. So you do get, you get all. So we're just going to
βhave a loss. Yeah. I didn't know that that. I think that's the most, just get one of the mostβ
classic combinations you can have. They're saying that that there's a problem because a burger consists of meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, ingredients on ketchup, mustard and then fries or the only. Well, then we're, we're screwed because we have a lot of combinations that I guess if you, if you break it down has multiple things in it. Yeah. Food duos was that's a, I think that's a good idea. I asked about I asked about a bacon egg and cheese and PST, so that's three items.
Yeah. So if it's, if it's, if it's a hamburger, I said, my burger. I asked my bacon actually. Was maybe tall and I put them. That isn't just a list of three things if you're going to have a combination like, if you say burger and fries, everyone knows that means when you run into like a bacon egg and cheese and then coffee or whatever. That, that, that would open up for dispute because the name of the item is literally three separate
things. I think the example was bacon egg cheese and a slim gym and it's like, so that two food items like, I think that would be fine. Yeah. That's a terrible combination. I just told exactly that would open yourself up to dispute if you used bacon egg and cheese as one thing because it's literally listed in the name as being three different things. That's all I said,
It might open up for dispute.
It's sad that Hank and Zach are disputing it. Just trying to clarify. No, it's sad. This is a sad dispute. It's like, yeah. It's like Mike Tomlin throwing the challenge flag. Well, I mean, I don't really know I, I say it likely clear to Mike, we have to restart the whole Mount Rushmore of Burger and fries get a flag. We're in trouble. They can be more of a food
βduo. Okay. All right. Next time. I think hamburger and bun is a food duo. All right. It's a sad.β
Oh, man. Sad technicality. Okay. We didn't think that was a technicality. I think we thought that was the rules. Okay. So, or so we're at the price. No, we're not. Yeah, we're not. Yeah, we're not. Yeah, we're not. Yeah, we're not. We're not. Yeah, we're not. Yeah, we're not. I'm not going to try to take Burger and fries on the list of duels. It's fucking insane. Well, what, what's the point of even doing this podcast? If we can't agree that Burger and fries was a great duo. Burger and fries.
Two, bacon, egg and cheese. Three. That's trio. Well, yes, but bacon and cheese, one sandwich,
burger, one sandwich. The problem is the name of the sandwich is bacon, bacon. I think it's cheese,
has bacon, egg, cheese, bun. A burger, has hamburger, cheese, pickles, bun. All right. All right. All right. All right. Yeah, you could, I can cheese, could have hash brown, could have ketchup. Could have, like, I was going to say you guys are going to hate that. We're going to dip our fries and catch up. I can't wait to see. I can't wait to see what you guys have picked because we also put some salt and pepper on our fries. If we want to just be fully transparent, we could play this game with
βevery pick on this list. Correct. That's what I'm saying. Our list, our list has everything. Okay. We pickedβ
duos. Okay. Peanut butter and chocolate. Okay. We had it on the list. Yeah, not our list. Well, there's peanuts and then there's also butter. That's true. So that's true. There's also oil. Yeah, there's oil. Yeah, oil. Yeah, there's oil. Yeah, oil. Yeah, oil. Yeah, oil. Yeah, salt. You had making a butter by just blending and making chocolate, I think it's like cocoa and milk that you like make together. Yeah. You would have to say, you have to say cocoa, bean and peanut. Mm-hm.
That makes sense. Okay. Good pick. Good pick. I will have to drop them with that pick because
no problem with that pick. Okay. Hey, these are two good first picks. I'm going to go
with mac and cheese. Good macaroni and cheese. Second pick. I'm going to go with bacon and eggs like that. Good. It's good. Okay. These are just great picks. Yeah. These are okay, everyone. Okay. You know, it's similar in a flower that's kind of combined with some other ingredients, salt and pepper on the bacon and eggs. There's salt. Yeah, there's some stuff you have to fry the egg and probably the bacon. Macaroni has a lot of things in it. Yeah. Okay.
We would like to take ships in case. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Say the next one. Yeah. Can't believe it's sale on the board. Meatballs is on the board, baby. Getty and meatballs. Getty and meatballs. What kind of meatballs? What goes in those meatballs? There's lots of things that go in the meatballs. Uh, yeah. I think it's the pick here. I think seven is the pick here. I'm sure it will be a problem but seven is seven or six. Seven. I think we get something else. We can we can save it. We can
get value. We can get value later, Max. Oh, Max. We can get value later. Okay. Run the football on the strap. Feel like six is run. We can get value later. Trust process. Uh, we're going to go chicken and waffles. Okay. Is that okay? That's I'm fine with it. Yeah. Yeah. Two food items.
Okay. I think it might be, is that your third pick? That's our third pick. Kind of a reach for third.
Okay. But I think it's a fine. Well, it's a third round. I really enjoy it. I love chicken waffles. We're going to go with steak and eggs. Okay. Okay. Nice. I'd probably say that bacon and eggs is more iconic than steak and eggs, but I do love steak and eggs is a better, you know, if you're trying to be a healthy, like, grown man. What does that mean? Just better. Men adults don't eat bacon? No, but steak and eggs is like a hearty
or breakfast. It's man, man stuff. I guess I wouldn't know about that. We're trying to fill up, you know? I've been frozen by burger and fries. I, I, I've been, I've been, I'm not going to fight anything. I'm not going to, I was going to pay. It's good pay. Good pay. All right. So now I get two more, right? Yeah. Okay. I'm going to go with peanut butter and jelly. Good ones. peanut butter and jelly. I can't believe the last one. That is bread, though. Yeah. What? What is your first
peanut butter chocolate? Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Yeah. Yeah. So they're kind of comboing each other.
βYou thought, what'd you think? Give one of you. Yeah. Well, you should be in on the draft if youβ
look at, you got so excited about spaghetti and meatballs. You just stopped. Yeah. You did. And obviously,
We were taking, we were taking that thing.
into the list. You got excited about the meatballs. Well, you got confused. The reason
I had peanut butter and chocolate. That's okay. That was peanut butter and jelly. Okay. Peanut butter and jelly. I mean, we could just talk. Well, I got excited. Yeah. You got really excited. People are still on the board. All right. What do you guys got? All-time combination. Wait. I'm up. Oh, yeah. Peanut butter and jelly. And then I'm going to go with chicken wings and blue cheese. Okay. Chicken wings and blue cheese. Absolutely love it. We discussed it. The issue we had was we were
split on as a group. Yes. Blue cheese. Yes. Yes. And ranch boys. Yeah. So that's where it became. We couldn't in, we're in in the spirit of Mount Rush, where we couldn't go to bat for something that we don't all believe it. I'm a, as an adult. I'm a blue cheese guy. That's a man. I'm a blue
cheese guy. Yep. Okay. We, we would like to take with the fourth pick of our draft.
No, I don't know. I don't know Zack. No, we're in a good spot. We're in a good spot. I just take I need two more seconds. I'm sorry for that. The hold up here. I don't think you're going to take, we're going to take cookies and ice cream cookies and ice cream. Yeah, that's what we're going to take. Okay. That was in our list. I love it. Zack is what we're going to go. You want to, like that? Yeah. We're going to take that. Okay. Okay. What do we do now?
We're going to take cookies and ice cream. We're going to take milk and cookies, which is
βthat one. That's why I want to, I want to take that the last round. What do you want to do now?β
Why don't you look at the list, Max? No, I'm not sure. I'm, I'm, yeah. I think milk is a drink. You can't do that. Doos? Food. I guess that's where that was, okay. Well, we didn't pick it. No, I know. I just don't know what we're trying to clarify and pee if he was just like, no. Well, you asked me nothing about like 11, it means as 11. I think, I think, uh, it is good. I think eight is pretty strong. I think eight is pretty strong. That's something that you
just, everyone, everyone can get behind. Now, you decide, Max. I like eight. All right. We'll go big on cream cheese. Big on cream cheese. You got to do it. It's good pick. Okay. Um, what do we have for, uh, honorable mentions? I'd catch up and mustard. Yeah. There's actually a lot that we, we had uh, fish and chips. Red and butter. Red and butter is good. Red and butter, coffee and donut. I, although that's not, that's a drink. Biscuits and gravy. This is gravy grilled cheese and tomato
βsoup. Yeah. Oh, that's good one. Sausage and peppers. That's what I want. Chicken tenders and fries.β
Cheese and crackers, huge miss pork chops and apples sauce. Yep. That kind of that. Lamb and tuna fish, um, tuna fish and onions. tuna fish and onions. Yep. Brownie and ice cream. Brownie and ice cream. Delicious. Turkey and stuffing. Turkey and stuffing. I had a few of the mashed potatoes and gravy. Apple and peanut butter. Salami and cheese. I had a few that were not, we're told that they wouldn't be good, but their personal favorites are mine. Uh, chips in a sandwich, um, in a sandwich.
Not, not next to it in a sandwich. Yeah. Um, popcorn and candy at the, at the movie theater. Great combination. Great duo. Uh, let's see. Oh, beer and a hot dog, beer and beer and uh, and peanuts. I thought about hot wings cold beer. Yeah. Didn't really think that that was a food combination. Uh, pretzel and mustard. Yeah, honey mustard, especially beef and broccoli for Chinese food. That's going. Yeah, big. Anything else? Chicken and rice. Steak and cheese. Chicken and rice, rice and beans.
βI said rice and beans. I love rice and beans, but yeah. I think a cheese is a good one. Mm.β
Sakin, steak and potatoes was another one I said, but yeah. We thought it was too similar to burgers and fries. Turkey and provolone. Yeah. Mm. Mm. Okay. Good draft. I think draft or draft. I don't know. I. Yeah. I would. Good draft. We took the meaning to literal. That's on us. Yeah, we had like, we had like hot to go over. No, it was two. The cheese and a burger. Like we took a very
later. Yeah. Well, we do always like, we were going to do like chicken wings. Two. Those
means two in blue cheese. We're like, that's a sauce. So we took a very literal. That's on us. Okay. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, cookies and ice cream. Yeah. Cookies and ice cream. Yeah. I was good thinking on the fly. So is that a, is that a just a regular, so there's no chocolate chips in the cookies? It's a, uh, and there's a chocolate and the ice cream. It's an imagination. One thing I've got over that on my phone. Put the nutter. Got it. It wasn't on our list.
I think everyone's got, you guys got a great list, great list. Good draft. A lot of good rules on that last one. I like the panic pick. I like, it's a good pick. Yeah. It might be an easy but throw us off. It's what we're going to go milk and cookies. Or we were going to go brownies and ice cream. Then you took one to cook it. Yeah. We thought about cake and ice cream, but, but yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. It's either cookies and ice cream. Yeah. That's a nice cream.
I think the voters are going to vote on this make.
pick and party. Statistically, by far, the worst person, even worse, more. So I,
what max? I don't know. I'm still, don't, we'll probably come in third.
I mean, getting PB and J in the third is. Yeah. You got you, that's on you for getting a meatballs. No, you got excited. No. You got to be excited. You got to be excited. You, you, hold on. Hold on. PB and J would have gone over chicken and waffle. I get it. Max, but we, we're a team. We were talking about, no, I know, but we're a team. And we said, going into it, we had nine picks to, and we're like, let's get one of three of the nine. Those were part of the, the nine.
And getting in meatballs is not the problem. No, no, do you understand if we play back with the clip? You're excitement for spaghetti and meatballs. You basically, like, you, you, you, you essentially
βdid the equivalent of hitting a three and not getting back on defense. Yeah. That's what happened.β
We talked about the next pick. That would, that would be the case. But you didn't talk, you didn't say it. You, we talked about chicken and waffles. You know, that was where I would have taken place. You made it that you were so excited about spaghetti and meatballs. You didn't even know about the next pick. That you didn't realize at peanut butter. We really had to take this. But you guys were all with it. With this is a team. I know. And you hit the
tweezers. Also, you hit the tweezers. You hit the tweezers. And then you were doing the dance. And the memes that I were like, fuck, they're coming back. They, they just did not let pass. This is, this number's against us. There's three guys talking about a ring. That we also forgot about a ring all forgot about PB and J. I'm written all the time for taking the surefire wide open lay up and spaghetti and meatballs. You're full for taking, we submitted your
βpick two, two, quick. Yeah, you didn't. You're, you're misunderstanding it. We couldn't talk forβ
four minutes. We're not talking about the spaghetti and meatballs pick. That was a great pick. That's a great pick. You then, you were dancing in the end zone. And we were like, hey, next play. We were talking about the next play. We just weren't talking about PB and J as a team. I mean, Zach and Hank are the ones that are benefiting the most from this. It's like they're just, they're sitting back and they didn't take PB and J after that. Yeah. I don't know.
All right. Good draft. Good draft. All right. Let's get to our interview with Larry Fitzgerald, awesome interview with Larry Fitzgerald. Before we do that, PFT's got an ad.

Great Fitzgerald. Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest. We're here at the
American Century Championship. It is 26 Hall of Famer, NFL Hall of Famer, Larry Fitzgerald.
Let's start with that. Well actually, weird question, are you retired? 100%. 100% who you never told
us? You had the most confusing retirement where we never knew if you were retired. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not one to, what the public advise, you know, that's not really my thing. I'm kind of like the Irish goodbye guy. Okay. Hey, where, you see, you know what a bathroom is? Yeah, right? And I just slip out, you know, like that's, that's kind of how, not just the game was bigger than one individual. Like, I'm not a, celebrate me. That's not, that's not my jam. I,
I had a great time. I had an unbelievable run and it was time for some other guys to do it. Did you ever officially file your paperwork to retire? Yeah, of course. Oh, did you do that right away? Did it, the year after? Okay. So we weren't totally wrong to be like, hey, I think I'm
Pretty much every year for about four or five years.
Yeah, because you could, that's also a testament to you that we just assumed at any point you could be like, hey, I'm playing and you would just rip off like 75 catches no problem. No, no, I knew after that last year. I was a rap. I was a rap. You want to say goodbye to all the youngsters out there. Do you use their Zona? Yeah, I told them, I told them by. He said, by. Yeah. Okay. Did it personally? Well, each and every one you endured it or like, my teammates and,
and the guys that I spent time with, yeah, it's just the youth of Arizona. They want to say goodbye to you. They talk about the kids outside of the game. Yeah, yeah. And I do that. I do that through my foundation work. Okay. You know, so I, I, I, you know, kind of mix and mix. You can give us closure and just say, I'm officially retiring from the NFL. I mean, it's, it's hard to get into the Hall of Fame without what happened. Like, that's not a time. He's not retired. He's your not retired. You might,
you're gonna be the first guy in the Hall of Fame to come back and play. No, that's definitely
not. Feel the rivers. Yeah. He could. So you're officially retired. I am, I am officially transition from the game. Do I see you? You're not retired. This guy's gonna come back. He's gonna be, you're gonna be a
βpro baller in four years. I think it's more, you might just be scared of the word retired.β
Yeah. It's retirement is what I look at is like, is 70 year old sitting on in the panhandle of Florida with their feet in the sand at a retired. That's not, you know, I'm just transition into something different than what I did before. I don't even like using the word retired. I hear you. My grandfather, he told me to retire me and killed more people than anything in the country. Yeah. Okay. So you can see. Yeah. Yeah. So like your mind starts to act with your body.
Actually, like not. We were right. You're just afraid to say that you're retired. We were right. You're dead. Yeah. Okay. All right. That's a good closure. Yeah. That's just a theory that we had back for head for a long time. I do actually, I have endless amounts of respect for you as a
player as a human being. I think that you've done incredible stuff. Probably some more to come.
But if it's okay, I do have one bone to pick with you. Maybe something that you could apologize. You know, again, I keep thinking of the kids out there that watched you play football. Would you like to apologize for what happened? Well, first of all, do you know what happened on October 8th, 2018? It was a Sunday. No. It was a game against the 49ers. Your actions in that game, or kids watching at home, you spike the ball.
What? You did? Yeah. You spike the ball as a player. A few point conversion
βto go up 18 to 15 and you spiked it. How could you? Yeah. I do remember that.β
Is that your only spike? That's my only spike. Wait to show up the opponent. That's my only spike. Yeah. I want to know only. Yeah. So, all right. So, let's talk about the whole thing. When you get, were you, did you know that back here, did you like look? It's my time. I was one of the best receivers of all time. Or was it still a moment? You're like, holy shit. This is actually real. This is happening. No, honestly, it's one of those things. It's completely out of your hands.
Somebody else is making a determination based on your resume. And, you know, there's a lot of things that go on with it. You know, you heard the news about, you know, close ballot check. And you're like, if he's not Hall of Fame worthy, then who is? And, you know, like, so all of these things are kind of going through your mind. I don't think I ever questioned the fact that I would be, I felt like my numbers and what I accomplished was good enough to get me in. But it would be on the
first ballot. You know, all that stuff is so subjective. And so I tried not to let my mind go there.
I didn't want to, I didn't want to be disappointed if that didn't happen. You know, that's not the right feeling to have either or feel like I'm entitled to something that I, you know, I, so I tried to manage my emotions best I could. But I tell you what, when I, when I did find out, I was, I was delayed it. And how it actually went down was even that much more special. And I'll be able to have Randy Moss, somebody who I idolized. I met him in 1998 as a kid. I was a
ballboy in the team. And the relationship that I've had with him for so many years to, to know he had just be cancer, you know, you know, you know, less than a year prior to that to get on the plane and come down and make my moments so significant. It was just, it was surreal. And so like, that was, that was, that was a really special time. Yeah. That was cool. Was it on a boat? Yeah. So my buddy Hollis, I was down there for some board meetings in Boca Ratan and he was like,
hey, Larry, I got a, I actually got a new boat and it's, it's at the slip, actually across the street
βfrom your hotel. I'm like, that's interesting. Like, what's the irony that his boat would be in Boca?β
You know, I didn't put anything together. I was like, that's awesome. And he was telling me about this. And he wanted me to see it. And on the ride there, it's literally like a 10 minute ride to get there. He's talking about, you know, all the stuff that he put in at the new, the new windows and the new, all the stuff he got, he got me just so I'm walking to the boat. I'm not, I'm not, my mind is
Just completely elsewhere.
if you ever want to set up a nice surprise birthday party, reach out to Hollis, man. Yeah. Hollis, calendar, he will, he will, he will make it special for whoever's involves. Yeah. It's like a mafia. You're like just print off. You're, you're a big pussy going out on the boat. It could have been better for me. Because of your devotion. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, so you, what was the first time that you met Randy, how old were you at the time? I was 14, 14. And then, how long did it take
βthe two of you to, to form like a little bond? I think you have to ask Randy that I was alreadyβ
in love with them. They would love that first life for me. Yeah. You couldn't tell me he wasn't my best friend from the time I met him. I worked with the receiver, so I was with him for two hours a day, three hours a day, every day I training camp, I ran the rant irons. I watched this car. So, I would have probably had a inflated view of what I thought our relationship was. And I was just
to him. I was just a little smiling nose kid that was always asking him questions, right? But then he
allowed me to use this car for my, my prom a few years later. And he would come to my high school games. And he wore size 14. And he was, um, I wore size 14. And so he would give me, he had the new Jordan contract. So he had all the shoes, like, all the, the one-off sneakers that he didn't want, he would have given to me. And so I thought I was the coolest dude. So I thought Randy was my guy. Yeah, I mean. And so it was, it was, it was this really, really special special pair growing up
βto be able to do that job. Yeah. When did you first become the ballboy? Probably two years earlier.β
Okay. So when you, when you were 12, were you telling people like, I'm going to play in a league someday where people laughing at you? Absolutely. No, I, I, I mean, I was like every other kid. I was, those were aspirations. Yeah. To, to be crazy enough to think that I was going to be able to do it. No, it was, that's, that's outlandish. But what I did know that I had a huge strategic advantage of everybody else because I got a chance to watch Chris Carter, you know, one of the best ever
do it. And I would get to go watch the skirmishes when they will go to, you know, skirmish the, the Kansas City Chiefs were in Wisconsin also. And then I got a chance to go watch him when they skirmish against the New Orleans Saints who were also in Wisconsin. So I got to pick up on all these work ethic and new ones, things that they were doing. I saw how they ate. I saw, they will get massages, you know, every couple days, they're training camp. And so I was able to implement a
couple of those things at a very young age. I then gave me, you know, a leg up on the competition. But, you know, so many things have to balance your way to be able to have that come to fruition. Yeah. How many balls would you catch back then? You know, Chris after practice, he would catch those jugs balls and he would probably catch 150 every day. And I caught a lot of balls, not like, like, they would run a route, they would catch it,
never run to them and I would catch it. Or, you know, Mitch Berger was the partner during special
teens period. I would go catch the punts and Gary Anderson would do kickoffs or on side kicks. And I would catch those balls. And I was bottom, you know, during 7 on 7 team, inside run, two minute drill, I was spot in the ball. So I was handling the ball hundreds of times a day, like in terms of catching it, like that was throwing it specifically to me. Maybe 50, I would have wanted to other ballboys throw me some balls and I would catch them. It just don't tell me, you're the
βgreatest ballboy of all time. I don't know about that. Yeah. I mean, how could anyone argue differently?β
No, you have the best hands of any ballboy that's ever ballboy. There was a guy that I came to me and told me he's, he's the CEO of Fortune 500 company. He used to be a ballboy. Okay. So I think he, he's, there's no way his hands are better than yours. No, I think it's like my turned out better. Okay. No, I don't think so. I'm talking strictly in terms of like catching the ball, the job of a ballboy. Yeah. You're the greatest ballboy that is ever ballboyed.
I would say you could put me in the conversation. Okay. All right. Because we don't know who else is out there. Yeah. But I would say you could definitely put me in the conversation. He retired from being a ballboy. Cause that would be the next. Yeah. That I definitely retired from that. But you know, man, you know who else was the ballboy for us. You remember Troy Walters? Yeah. Blitten the call for war when our Stanford played an NFL for, I think eight years played with us,
played for the Colts. He was a ballboy for the Vikings too. So he was like, big bro. I was watching him do his thing and you know, so I'm going off to college and ball that Stanford. And so like he said a high standard of bar was high. So that there needs to be like a book on the ballboy room for the Vikings and the late 90s. Yeah. That's incredible. So the coaches from the Green Bay Packers. Yeah. Yeah. The early 90s. That's when you had going on your room. Do you also like when you're
when you're practicing football, do you pay attention to the ballboys? Do you like judges? Absolutely.
Absolutely. Not exactly judge them. But I always would have conversations with them. Even when
we were planning as other teams that I would always, we're great at UN, how school or position
You plan.
Lions. This was in like 97 and Barry Sanders. The Lions had won the coin toss. This is back when the teams asked you like took the ball, they didn't defer. And they took the ball. And I remember Scott Mitchell was standing next to Herman Moore and Johnny Morton. Loam his Brown. And Barry was standing right next to me. And I was just like, I was just like all struck because it was Barry Sanders. And he looked at me and he said, hey, how are you doing? I said, I'm doing
βgreat Mississippi Sanders. He said, how do you, you know, 13? What position do you plan to play?β
Why receiver? I loved the way you I loved the way you play. He was like, thank you. Thank you. I hope today is a good day as well. And he ran off on the field. He was like the most gentle, kind, nice guy. And remember doing it, seeing it Steve Young and Jerry Rice and same thing. We're like, I remember when Dallas Cowboys came and played Monday night football. And Michael Irver and like slap my hand as he came off the, you know, the field and Emma Smith gets this
month. You know, like it was, it was some really cool experience to the child. Yeah, and then you got
Emma Smith was your teammate, right? And it was my teammate 2004. He technically was involved in my first
catch was a flu flicker. He took the hand off, pitched it back to Josh McCown and Josh McCown through do it to me. And I got to catch my first catch was on a knee. It's Williams who's a Hall of Famer too. So like it was, it was an interesting play, you know, for the first play to season to be called, but, you know, it was nice to get it started that way. Yeah, it's cool. Yeah. All right. So I, I know, we know you well enough Larry just from everything. You're, you're the, a pity me of class.
And you're not going to say a bad thing about anyone. The quarterbacks are through you touchdowns. Some of them may be weren't Hall of Famers themselves. Can you name every quarterbacks
βthrough your touchdown? No. I think they're 16. No. And I tried this before and I failedβ
miserably and I don't want to, I don't want to be disrespectful to anybody that I didn't, that I didn't name. Do you know what the craziest that is? Well, of these 16 quarterbacks. Two of them only through two career touchdowns and you were one of the two. And then two of them only through one career touchdown and you were the only one. That's pretty crazy. Yeah. The quarter, the quarterbacks through your touchdown, they the only touchdown they threw.
That was Max Hall and Richard Bartle. I didn't even know those were real names. Yeah. But Dad, they threw their only ones. Rich Bartle and Max Hall, both of them great dudes. They worked their cells off, man. They did. Yeah. And then Brian St. Pierre had two total and John DeVar had two total. And one of them ate to you. Yeah. See, this is a really nice recent kid. Yeah. What quarterback through the most catchable ball? I mean, Kurt was, Kurt was very accurate with this, with this
ball placement. You know, so soon as you come out of your break, it would be like right there, like hitting you in your forehead. I mean, he was so accurate with it. And so, and he didn't have like crazy arms strength. Like, you know, some guys when they have really strong arms, they throw it really hard. And Kurt was, you know, more anticipatory with how he would place it. And so,
it was really pretty easy to catch. You know, it would never like tearing your hands up or dislocating
your fingers. And I mean, you just didn't drop passes. It didn't matter who was still in need of all. I did. The famous stat of like the tag, you have more tackles than the drops over the course of you're in a 41 41 41 tackles 29 drops. It's kind of, that's, that's, you got to be the only guy to have that stat right. Oh, no, it's Chris Carter also. He always reminds me that he's also, it's not as big of a gap, but he still has more tackles than he has drops. Do you remember
every drop do they haunt you? No, I haven't, I didn't innate ability to be able like just to put it put it away, you know, like obviously, I wanted to understand the mechanics behind the issue, like what did I do from a fundamental standpoint that I need to improve on, did not let this happen again. I wanted to know that, but I didn't necessarily need to, I harp on it and watch. I think to have an ability to forget and just be able to, okay, it happened. I need to figure out why it
happened. Now I'm moving on to the next is a skill set that I think is necessary, especially in
βsports, you know, you need to be able to have a short memory. Yeah, were you, was ever a pointβ
your career, you were like, felt like you were in the zone, like everything was just, I know, we just said to you, you dropped 29 passes, so it could be your entire career. But like, for example, I don't think you get enough credit for that playoff run in 2008 where I think I have the stats here. You had seven touchdowns, 546 yards and 30 receptions in one playoff run. That feels like it was in the zone. Was that just like everything near you? Just, just throw me the ball. I got it.
Yeah, I felt, I felt good. And I also think my youthfulness didn't allow me to understand the magnitude
of the moments. Also, you know what I mean? Like, it's when you're doing it the first time,
You're like, oh, I'm gonna be back here every year.
this is kind of the mindset. And then, you know, as you get older, actually, you get a little bit tighter because you know how hard it is to get to these places and you're really harping on all the little things and like micromanaging it as opposed to when you're in your early 20s and you think you're going to be able to do it forever. And this is something that's going to happen. I think you kind of dismissed the magnitude. And so I think that was a magical time. You know, I had great teammates,
great support. And I also had youth on my side where I didn't understand just how big it was.
βYeah. Yeah. Also in that playoff run, I think you should get credit for one more tackleβ
because I think James Harrison was down at the one-inch line. I think Antwerah Rolls should get credit for tackling me on the sideline because if I wasn't a ran into Antwerah on the sideline, I would have definitely got James down or attempted to. I swear to, you know, when I got two James, it was like trying to move a refrigerator by yourself. Because it just doesn't happen, you know. And I mean, I do this made of granite. Yeah. I mean, shoot. He's insane. Yeah.
He's still still made of granite. Yeah. I do think I think he was down. I'm sure you've watched the replay before. I think he was down. I think I liked to think he was down and also liked to think that that Santonio didn't have both feet in. Yeah. I liked to like to fantasize about that.
Yeah. He's an imagination. He's never fun to be able to fantasize that, you know, when I'm around
βBen and he has his ring with him, you know, because then the fantasy ends pretty quickly. Yeah.β
Is he like to remind you to see Kerry's ring around? No. No, no, no, no. Ben's my man. I love Ben. We came in the same class in 04 and play a lot of golf together and always been a big fan of Ben's. How is the, how's the golf game? Ben's on the day. The Ben's on the day. But, um, it's decent. And I got almost 60 handicap. You know, I'm not going to go out there shooting the 60s and and frequently going to shoot in the 90s. You know, I keep it. Keep it cool. I'm play fast and
you play fast because I heard, I heard you talk about your game and you said that there's, you didn't get in a whisper rock because you might be too slow. No, it wasn't because I was too
slow as because I was so poor at golf at the time. I just started in 2013 was when I first started
playing. I got a chance to play with this are there and, um, he told me I couldn't, I couldn't be a member there because you were not good enough to like, I got better. Because so fun fact, whisper rock actually has out of all the clubs in America has the lowest aggregate handicap.
βAnd they take it probably take that. So it's like a 7.8. I think I last I checked. You know,β
but when you have JJ Spawn and Max Homa and Phil Michaelson and Kevin Stroman and like, you just go down the list of all the guys who are tour car carriers. It's pretty impressive. And then you just have a bunch of really good players like Mark Molder who's here and Patrick Peterson and you know, guys who can just flat out golf their ball. You know, so it's fun to be around that. Yeah. I'm going to get you to talk shit about something. Do you still hate
West Virginia? Absolutely. Okay, good. Yeah. Yeah. What was your record against West Virginia? I went to shit. I mean, I actually didn't know. I didn't know. No, no, no, it is what it is. I mean, you are what your record says to you. The problem with the back yard brawl and pit
first West Virginia is each hit pit just rhymes. It does. So that's like it just you guys are
already at a disadvantage. You know what I mean? Like what do you do with that? I mean, but we understand that's all they can memorize though. I don't know. Yeah. There we go. It has to run for the room. That's true. You know, it's like, did you view degrees? Like, it's worth about as much as the cup of water out of Lake Tahoe. You know what do you do with it? I love it. It's crazy. They don't have any floor wide in the water. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. I mean, it's crazy. They don't have a
dentist in the whole state. I like this. I knew I could get you going with that. The, it is not pit might have like in terms of, you know, you obviously have the Alabama's USC's. Some of these school missions are going to stop you there. We do have the best. You do, I do. You have like the fact that you have some of the best between you, damn Reno, Aaron Donald, Jim. Oh, covert. Like, there's so many guys. There's like, those are some of the best NFL players all time all came
for pit. Like, if you, if you really, outside of maybe USC, like, if you just go position by position, you know, Russ Grimm, so I'm both covert, Mark's Depnoxy, Joe Flacco, Terrivis, Aaron Donald, you know, you, like, if you just go man for man with any college, any team,
Like, we, we have a, we have a, we have a stake at possibly be in the best.
you know, I agree. I'm so many different, but I, I like our chances. It's not looking at the entire, like, roster of, of who's gone there. So we were talking beforehand. We got to make a bet. You're someplace for Notre Dame. Yeah. I'm a badger. We're playing week one, Labor Day weekend. First of all, how did your son not go to pit? Uh, I mean, I try not to get into the recruiting port of it. You know, like, I'm not forcing him into it. I love, I love my alma mater. I'm still
a pit man through and through, but, you know, he felt like there was a better fit for him in Notre Dame. And I respected that. My dad, when he wanted me to go to Ohio State, my mom really wanted me to go Notre Dame. But I felt when I was at university, Pittsburgh, there was something,
something inside of me that was like, this is where you should be. And then, you know, I always
had to follow my intuition and like, things worked out. And so he kind of felt like that we got back on the visit. He was like that. I think I found my people and I think I found my place. And I was like, you know, tell me more. You know, he kind of went down the checklist that he was running through.
βAnd I say, hey, that's how you feel. Like, I think you should, you should make that decision.β
Yeah. All right. So we got to make a bet. You're not giving me any points? No, I mean, you went this in 19 points. It's actually it's 20 and a half. It's 20 and a half. Not what I'm just saying, no, like, have a little pride though. I mean, I have pride. 20 have a lot of points. It's West Cox and no. Okay. It's a home game for me. Give me, give me, give me 13 to half points. I'll take a discount. We'll make a 13 and a half points.
That's, I'm giving you seven points. Okay. All right. For a thousand.
Here's, no, here's what we're going to bet. So for a thousand bucks, I'll donate a thousand dollars to your trip charity.
Okay. I don't want your money. I want a official Arizona Cardinals letterhead. No letter. Larry Fitzgerald retiring from the NFL. I can't do it. I can't do it. That's crazy. I can't do that. I've got to read the official. I've got to read the official. I've got to read the official. I've got to read the official retired from the NFL. We won't publish anything. We'll take a picture of it. We'll get. You don't have to file it.
Yeah. Yeah. We'll just put it. We'll frame it and we'll put it in our studio. It'll be part of, you know, this podcast history. All right. That's fair. Okay. All right. Good. All right. 13 to half points. $1,000. I'm excited that's a bit.
βOh, hey, do you got any good John Stockholstery's for me? Did John Stockholstery. Did you ever see?β
Yeah, you ever seen him laid out on a street in the, in the, in the, in the radio. Don't want
to point his shoes. Did you see anything? Stockholstery is a, Stockholstery. I mean, we, we had a run of, like, really good college quarterback. So they didn't go on playing the pros, but Stockholstery, he was the man. He's my high school quarterback at Academy of Holy Angels, and he could spend it. Yeah. Great athlete. He could play baseball. He was great at basketball. He was just all around for nominal athlete. You, you have, you're a really good pickable player, right? I don't know if
I would say really good. I can hold my own. I would definitely, I would, I would, I'm a four, four, close to four, five. I will, I will, I will wear you out, though. Close to four, five. I will give you that work. Wait, hold on. We got to ask you like, I don't have my number rating. I'm just telling you. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Are you better at pickleball or golf? I would probably say pickleball. Yeah. Yeah. But if you were to trade, would you be better at golf
than pickleball? He's going to pick up. Who is it? It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's our, had a security mic. We're interviewing Larry Fitzgerald right now, and I asked him about his pickleball game and I asked him for his number. What's the number thing you guys do? It's called Duper. The Duper.
βHe said he said he's a four and then he was like, maybe a four and a half, do we believe him?β
I have to see him play. I can't do it. Everybody says there are four and a half, four, one, five. They all say that. Okay. So, so he's probably a four. He's probably more like a four. Okay. Okay. So, you could work him. Yeah. He sounds like he's in the senior division. Oh, no. Mike's, Mike's still running around. He's ready to go. All right. I actually, I actually played today around the feed. Oh, here we go. There we go.
All right. Thank you. He's in the 70 and over clothes, right? Do you have a partner? I play, I play with whoever. I played mostly singles though. He plays mostly singles. Okay. I think you might appreciate it. Yeah. Everyone's going to like that. These are, uh, head of security's, uh, X, uh, and YPD cop. Oh, okay. That island and he, like if you say you like pickleball, he'll just immediately start grilling you and like you don't really play pickleball.
Yeah, it's not real. Like you don't, you don't have your duper. So, so what other sports, where I would assume you were just good at every single. I play baseball around track. Play basketball, play football. So, what in high school basketball were you just Yemen on people? Yeah, I was more of a defensive stopper. I didn't shoot a great one, but I was a slasher. I could
Dribble, penetrate, finish.
a, on another team. So, I felt like I was solid. Yeah. Sure. It was always football. That was one
sport that you, you locked in on. Yeah. And, and most things recruited me to play defense too. So, I played, uh, free safety linebacker and, um, yes, Wisconsin actually recruited me to play defense. Did that? Yeah. I mean, listen, they were, that's actually great scouting. You have more tackles than you did. You're really good at tackling. Good point. I mean, Matt, they saw something. Didn't Matt Brown recruit Andrew Luck, Johnny Menzel, and Robert Griffin to be safety's.
I think he did. That wasn't surprised me. Yeah. Yeah. That's a surprise. He just loved defense. Um, are you going to be president one day? President of my HOA possibly? the United States? No, just Senator? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
And, you know, when you get into religion and politics, you 100% will not have the consensus on anything. And, yeah, that's not something I want to throw my hat in the ring for. Yeah. Probably smart move when you're part of something like a whole lot of fun.
No. Permission to ask an inappropriate question. I think I know what the question is because I would say, yeah, I'm going to ask it. But at what point in your life, did you realize you have a fat ass? And that's all due respect.
You didn't do that. I was... I don't even think that that is not what I thought was going to happen. I did not. I thought you were going to ask me like when I was going to cut my hair off my hair.
So you don't want to answer the question, but you do not know how to answer the question.
βYou have to know how to answer the question.β
I've been the same guy my entire life. Okay. All right. It's a good answer. Yeah.
Yeah. It is the power. It's the power. It's the power of everything. You're teammates.
You're a dump truck. I had a quote from your teammate Drew Stanton. He said he's so strong in the lower half of his body. And you can see it out at practice because he wears tights instead of uniform pants. So you don't...
You're in the Louvre Lemon. Yeah. Not. Yeah. I like the word of tights.
Okay. It's more flexibility. More ability. Yeah. Yeah.
All right. So here's a less weird question because I hit you with the weird one that I can go, like, you know, take it back a little. Are you in the Hall of Fame of, like, guys that should be just fat, middle-aged, white Irish dudes, but aren't?
βYour name is, like, Larry Fitzgerald, do you ever get confused for it and you show up?β
No, not, not really. I guess, right.
But when I do go to Ireland, they always show me love.
Yeah. That's awesome. The lady checks man. You say Fitzgerald? Yeah.
Yes. Like, really? Fitzgerald. Yeah. Multiple generations.
Oh, I love it. I love it. Was that, was the ask question to inappropriate? No. I don't know what you feel like his in-bounds and what's out of bounds.
Yeah. Okay. How about that? Yeah. Secret.
Yeah. Like, what's your, what's your work at routine? For the dumpper.
βI think it's more, it's more genetics than it is anything.β
Yeah. I want to apologize part of the show and why I think it's successful is we're really just trying to make this guy uncomfortable and he's super uncomfortable right now. So like, it's less about you and it's more making him squirm to the point that he just wants to be anywhere but here, right?
Yeah. Would you like to apologize to, so speaking of youngsters that are owed in a apology, he was a Philadelphia Eagle youngster. Would you like to apologize to him about what you did to his team in the playoffs? You're from Philly?
Right next slide. I don't know there. Really? Really? Where'd you go?
John Snowman. Kind of stuff. Nice. Nice. Now, Philly's broke his own hearts with some people over the years.
I think they've gotten their get back. Yeah. I think they've gotten their get back. Yeah. You, you, you definitely, you broke him down pretty good in the playoffs.
Are you happy about the day, AJ Brown moves? AJ Brown's really a football player, but some of that had to be done. So really, some of that he's done, I can't say I'm happy about not having AJ Brown anymore.
But I think we got some value for it for a situation that was never going to be remedied.
So I think Lim is going to be a really good player. Yeah. I'm very excited about him. I was going to be a really good player.
Who's your favorite, why does he ever write down in the game to watch?
Oh, my, that's a tough question. I wouldn't say this person's my favorite, but I respect in the mind, I heck out of them about how he goes about his business and that's I'm around saying Brown. Yeah. He can play outside the numbers, he can play inside the numbers, they do those
his body around the run game. He's fierce, he's competitive as hell, breaking tackles, great leader. And one thing that I've noticed about him too is that he's got a really good talented receiver in James Williams on his team. And whatever James has big games, he's the first one there to show love.
Like he's obviously ultra competitive, but he does not put what he wants to achieve in front of the success of the team.
βAnd I think that's really a great testament to the kind of guy he is.β
He's selfless. Yeah. And I vibe with that. Yeah. Yeah.
I think you kind of, you would be described that way by a lot of people too with your career being selfless guy, but I also think that if you're as good as you were, you
probably had some like I'm always open tendencies, right?
Like all the great ones too. No, I was never disillusioned like there was times that I obviously the ball didn't come that I thought it should have been there, but you know, when you play with guys like Antquam Bolden, you know, or Dehanger Hopkins, like these guys are immensely talented and gifted and they deserve to have their, you know, fair share and
their targets and write, but it also makes you hone your own skills much more because, you know, you want to, you want to let the team know and the people know that you're just as capable and you can do damage to the same way, but I think it's just being on the manager ego in a way where it's not disruptive to the org and what the main objective
βis, I think is the biggest thing that you have to be on the manager.β
I think you and you and Dehanger Hopkins had a great connection on that one play where he goes down early, you come in from the sidelines, pitches the ball to you, you sprint to the referee, hand him the ball to clock it with like two seconds left in the game, you were probably the best at that, like getting the ball to the ball, yeah, that's the ball boy
ball boy coming back to me, but I feel like I was always keenly aware of like where we were,
what we needed, what the situation was, like all of those things, you know, like I would even do things, like let's say we were in the two-minute drill and that was an explosive play and one of our offensive linemen was down, right, most people were panicked, like I would just go in and play guard, right, and this obviously we needed to have, you know, seven people on the line of scrimmage and I would like, you know, my mind was just thinking
if those things happened or the quarterback got hit, I needed to take the snap and spike it or, you know, what up those type of things, I always felt like I was ready for I knew it and I tried to be like an extension of what the coaches were looking for on the field. Yeah, it was your favorite coach to play for, I mean, I have a pretty good relationship and had a good relationship with most of my coaches, I did, you know, everybody, all
the coaches are different, the relationships are different, but you know, I respect all the men that I work for, really, I don't have a bad word to say about any of my head coaches I've ever, I've ever played for, you know, we've got what about precarious, I got a lot of love for Coach, I love B.A. a lot of love for Coach, yeah, he's a straight shooter,
you know, you never have to wonder what he's thinking or how he's feeling and, you know,
it's nice to be able to have a coach who's, he is an offensive football suban, like that dude is his ability to dial up the plays that he would call at the time that he would call him, that's a gift from God that he has, like he's, he's by far the the best I've ever seen, like situation of football, like knowing the exact right play to have the bright personnel on the right, on the right hash, like that's this, that's like mana from that, from the heavens,
yeah, to be able to have that type of skill set was if fun playing for him too, where you know,
βlike he's going to take a shot, like you're going to get your shots because I think it's frustratingβ
for fans and probably for players too when you play on an offensive system where it's like they're not going to try to take shots and take the top off, that was what I love watching Bruce Aaron's like, you know the shots are coming and he's going to keep hitting them because if all you got to do is hit one of them and you can change the game. You never had to worry about getting opportunities. You're like, honestly, he was, he wanted eight explosives again and he was going to
he was going to take 10 to 12 shots, right? That's just what he was going to do and it kept teams on us because it allowed him, allowed you to be able to make a lot more intermediate plays because the threat of the overtop was always present. Did you ever, did you know that he drank paint as a kid? Frank paint. Yeah, he drank paint. No, I had no idea. Yeah, he was milky. Well, yeah, he saw that like if you drink milk, you're going to grow up to be big and strong and so his parents were paying the house and they had this
Just big tub of paint and he went, oh, he said that looks pretty good.
yeah, he drank paint then he had to get a stomach pump and they sent him home and then he tried to drink it again. Yeah, and he had to pump his pump of something because that's your coach. Which probably actually both have the thing he's ever drank in his life. Yeah, he drank paint. Yeah,
I had no idea about that. Yeah, we made a song about it. It never surprises. Yeah, you know,
βhe had more rushing touchdowns at Virginia Tech than Mike Vick. That's serious. Are you serious?β
That's crazy. Yeah, that's wild. The original dual threat quarterback. He's an all-time football guy. Yeah, he is. All-time football guy. Was there ever a time in your career where you came close to leaving Arizona? Not on my own, volition, but I know I was involved in some trade rumors a couple different times, but obviously I had no no say so on that, but I never felt like I wanted to leave. I got tired some time to lose him, but the grass is not always greener. You know, on the other
side, that's Tom Moore would say the grass is greener next to the set to tank. Yeah, yeah, yeah, are you familiar with Arizona Cardinal Superfan Cortez? He's a guy who wears full helmet. He's got Cortez on his helmet. Yeah, I have seen. Do you ever look up to him for inspiration during a game? I can't say that I have. Okay, all right. I can't really, I can't really shake the fan. He'll probably be in can't, honestly. With the helmet on, I doubt it. No, if you see him, I've got to show him out.
βIf I do see him, I definitely don't love. Listen, he's one of those guys. He's not in it for like,β
I don't even think he has social media. He's not in it for the fame. He's just, he's going to strap up the pads when the boy strap up the pads and he's ready to go on something. That's just a fack of Cortez. I love it. All right, Zach, you want to come up? Rowback question. All right, show back.com,

We, like, you've been, we saw you playing pickleball with Trent and Frankie. Yeah. Like, man, we got to get Larry on his, he's, he's going to be a nice person. Not very good. Yeah. Well, you aren't either according to a security guard. Yeah, you're right. It's all relative. Zach, go ahead. Oh, you're in the Larry. I had a quick
question for you. The most curious kind of on both specs into this question. You're not for a game on a Sunday. You're looking across a line of scrimmage. Who was like the one-one guy, you know,
βwas just going to, you have to earn every yard and like, if you're going to make the catch,β
you're going to really make you work for it. And then maybe the one-one guy of like, you caught, maybe woke up a little later in the morning, then had to prep so much for, it would be kind of sweet. Like, your hardest competition on field. And then maybe, like, kind of a guinea game on a Sunday. Our part about the last, the latter part of that is like, if the guy was, I thought he was a
guinea, he probably wasn't going to be in the league very long. Like, he, somebody's getting feasted on. They're not going to be around long. Like, it's just, it's just not, that doesn't how, it's not how it works. You know, they're trying to plug the gap. So there's nobody that comes to mind that was, that was like week that I felt like was a limping gazelle on a serengette, you know, every time I played on. But the guy that, uh, messed up my sleep patterns for sure was a camp
chancellor. He's a Virginia Tech guy, played per Seattle. And, you know, obviously, they have Richard Sherman, who will be the Hall of Famer. Like, I got Bobby Wagner, who will be the Hall of Famer. Rotomus will be a Hall of Famer. And camp chancellor, I don't know if his numbers will support him being a Hall of Famer. But that guy was the heart and soul of that defense. And that defense went with him. He called the plays. He inspired, he held guys accountable. Like, that dude was a man's man.
And that's not somebody you want to cross, you know, it doesn't want to cross him. Good question. Yeah, we go follow up. We are here at Lake Tahoe for the American Century Championship. Last couple of years ago, I was a game of golfery blowing up and you see some discourse online. Maybe some, maybe not some, uh, the most historical golf practices that guy say, maybe shrink the game a little bit. Some instances you see on the course that not
everyone agrees with is, if it's hard with you, I'd like to run through a couple of examples. And if you'd rather shrink these options on the course, or maybe expand them and see more of it.
Okay, first one, we're going to go with Bluetooth speakers in the court. I am okay with them.
Just depending on where we are. All right. So if I'm at, if I'm down at El Dorado at a discovery property, you know, let loose people playing with those shoes on. You got no shirts having a good time. There's a, there's a place for it. But if I'm at Semino right, or I'm at Cyprus point or Pine Valley, that's, that's not really where that really makes a lot of sense and it's not a
Part of the game.
time and also understand there's, there's prestigious places that just just not allows. I'm good.
βI'm good with either. All right. What are we thinking about, uh, clubhead covers on the iron's?β
When Aaron Ryan explained why he did it, I wanted to go get some iron covers. You know, your dad spent his last to be able to get you something really nice and to see a kid appreciate the effort of his parents, like that, that means something. And so like, I love the fact that he keeps them, you know, that's, that's something I, I respect and admire. So I'm, I'm good with that. Can you agree more, Yasserie? And then last one of what are your thoughts on a team up the ball in your
second shot in the fairway? No. I would, I would prefer to be able to, um, you know, get a club loan drop out of a divot before you're able to see it up in the fairway. All right. I'll just thank you for time learning. Yeah. Yeah. And Zack's also a chess player. I know you play. How many games a chess do you play per day? Who's a chess player? Zack, Zack was chess. He's saying that very loosely. No, he plays it. No, he's on, he's on chess.com. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. So our platform is the best early
investor. Yeah. How many games do you play per day? Um, Blitz probably 10, like five minutes or less.
And then I always have by three or four games going same time. I usually go to sleep playing puzzles,
you know, working on my openings. It's a fun game. It's one that you, you never master. It's like golf. You can play, like you saw Scottie Schaffler a couple of weeks ago. She, you know, 60 and he was like, man, there's a couple of left out there, you know, really. Like you never satisfied and chess is the same way. Yeah. It's actually a pretty good player. If you're doing 10 games a day and puzzles before bad, we'll probably never be cut up together. But that's very
impressive. Well, Larry, thank you so much for doing this, man. We really appreciate it. And I look forward to getting your signed official retirement when the badgers shock the world. Not going half. And we're going to go, I'm going, I'm, I'm, I'm hopefully going to go to the game. So we'll meet up with the game. All right. Um, but yeah, the funniest possible outcome is the badgers lose by 10. Yeah. And yeah, and you win the bet. Yeah. Yeah. I win the bet. And then, and then you're like, but we won the
game. No, but that doesn't count. I still lose though. Yeah. No, I know. That's one thing. Yeah. You'll be happy
βfor your son. Yeah. How many, how many different NFL players, sons are on Notre Dame?β
Um, it's like, I, I know, Jerome Betta's right. Jerome Betta's. We have, uh, Bryce Young, Brian Young's son. We have classical bursts of son. It's a Michael Finley. Caden Finley. Um, we have changed Flanagan his dad playing a league for a little bit. Yeah. So Mark Frambley, he believes in predi, predi, predi. Yeah. That's a pretty unique environment. College football Wisconsin is not had much better. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The heavens. This is not his son's not coming.
Yeah. So we're obviously going to wire seers. Um, listen, the Watts. We got to get the Watts to go. Oh, of course. Oh, Jim Sorge's son actually just signed. Okay. Yeah. So I don't know if you ever heard of him. Of course. Who hasn't backed up Peyton for a long time. Superb. Yeah. Yeah. No. Yeah. Pretty nice. We're Joe Thomas's kids. If we need to get him. We're not worth it. We're not worth it. We're the Watts boys. I know. I tell you the what the what brothers got to think that we have to start getting more kids going.
You know what the Noah said is that the white brothers would have never been at West
Constant in today's day and age. I know. I mean, because I don't know JJ transferred. And what do you go to Western? You went to Central Michigan. And then, you know, you know, he was going to be seen and he would have had eight tax the first year and he'd been at Ohio Stater. Yep. TJ would have gotten so much money. Yeah. He would have been. Although those guys are different.
βThey might have stayed loyal. They're there. They're they're loyal now. Yeah. But like when is your first?β
You know what I mean? That's right. You've got to get the first one. You know. Yeah. It's a different game. There's a different game. A different game. Well, Larry, thank you so much. Thank you.

Yeah, I got a few. I got like the last couple weeks. I got to get through. Okay. First one, uh, the Delente brothers, like some some fallout after we
βrecorded the podcast. Delente Island. After the jail and Brown emergency podcast. Oh, what happened?β
Eyes, that day. I think I went back after we recorded it. I took a little nap. We'll come around noon and then I was walking into the bar to like get some food at the pool. And I just hear double D, like whatever this guy wants, put it on my tab. He's the only guy I sent at the bar. So that's a nice move. Yeah, nice move. I go and tell you. It's not like a firefest at all. I go, I go and sit next to him and he's all just smiling. Like kind of gives me like one of
these like, you don't like to be touched. Uh, no, I don't like to be, I don't like when you touch me. And then he was like, when's pod coming out? And I thought it was more just like here, you know, what, like, what's how's your work day going? I'm like, I don't know, my be out now. Like we recorded a few hours ago, like it'll be coming out later this afternoon. He's like, okay, yeah, I spend my
βwhole morning listening to like every other Boston sports, like podcast was like, oh, you don't careβ
about the podcast coming out. You just want to listen like a he was like a fiend. Like when's like you got some of that pod? Like, yeah, you got to that podcast. So hold on, just pause real quick. So it's thus far, double D paid for all your drinks and is a die hard AWS. Yeah, it's good. Sounds like a, well, it's just no, it's okay. You know, the greatest kind of history. I was drunk. We recorded the podcast. I fell asleep and woke up and was like, this is the literally the last first person
I want to be healed. You're your breakfast, your lunch and your drinks. No, and then just one drink. And then he paid for your salary by listening to the podcast. Yeah. What else do you want? Okay. Uh, this is my firefest. So he also forgot the part where we were eating lunch and he saw that we were eating lunch from across the pool. No, this is a start coming over with a shitty, eating bread. And my mom catches him on the way over and she's like, let him eat lunch. Let him
eat lunch. And he turns around like a little kid that just got like yelled at going back to his seat at the pool. Yeah, that was awesome. And then yeah, Max, Max went away and I was at the pool later. And I get double D comes up to me from my like on on land and he's like, he only hits you from land. Finally. So he went from land. And by then I stand up and he's like, you know, again, like making fun of me about the Jim Brown thing. Then his brother comes up to me by sea, like in the pool behind me.
So I'm like standing facing one brother and then from the other, like behind me. Let's say brothers did D, D to you. Yeah. And then the other did it gets better next six-year-old daughter gets out of the pool. Like five, you know, storming the beach in Normandy. And then just comes up. It was like bing bang hangy. And then jump back in the pool.
So they are literally seal team 76. Yeah. Yeah. That's incredible. It was just it was like it was it was
βthe worst way to spend that the Jalen Brown news day. You could ever imagine if you're a Southx fan. Fast forward a few daysβ
Max's wedding, beautiful wedding, beautiful ceremony. Nick is other brothers giving the the best man speech. And I think at one point he was kind of he was like scan in the room he's like, oh, you know, Max loves sports and he's like, yeah, we used to have like Patriots Eagles. Now we got six or Celtics, like it was kind of a random shop, but not really a shot. The best man species were late. Nick had a couple of drinks. He was hammered. Yeah. He was hammered. But that one was like, you could tell that one was kind of
written in. Like it was like a Man Spilly, Philly sports. There was a point his speech is like, make sure you roast Hank. No, that was like written. It was like a Max. I was like kind of like, he's just like, you know, you're mentioning other people like during the speech. That was terrific. Yeah. Probably five minutes later in the speech. I don't know much how much longer. He's just he's kind of just drunk, scanning the room. And he's like, yeah, and you know, uh, Hank's over there. Hank, we all know
you hate the USA. And then he just moved on. And the next day, I was like, what the fuck was that? He's like, oh, yeah, I said you hated USA soccer. I was like, no, you just said USA. So like 90% of this wedding would just like, what? Wait, put that all so I hate America. That's not totally wrong. It is totally wrong.
I never said I love America. I love this country. If we did, if we did an entire, if we went to court
and we're like, hey, this guy wants all of our football games abroad. He roots for Dominican Republic. He roots for Cape Verde. He kind of hates America. He hates America. And he loves America. That's right. You're not going to, you guys aren't going to root for any other team in the World Cup. No, I'm just rooting for Messi. No, that you hate it. So you hate America. I'm going to just
Messi.
I'm rooting for Messi. That's crazy. I didn't know that was part of, uh, being Americans that
you couldn't have any. Well, also makes of any other countries. Time out. We are also rooting for these teams. Now that America is out of the tournament. You rooted for Dominican Republic and Cape Verde when America was still in the tournament. Yeah. I guess, again, like, I don't think, I would like to see what the judge said. If that was your goal, if that was your goal, if that was your goal, if that was your goal. Definitely side with us. Yeah. I don't think so.
Dominican Hank, that guy hates America. So Dominican's hate America? No. No. You specifically, you have a choice for the Dominican Republic against the United States. No, I was just rooting.
βYou have to see in the tournament. Got it. All right. Yeah. I would like to see what the judge has to say.β
Okay. We'll find a judge. Um, so yeah. That was the wedding part. And then leaving the wedding, I left on Sunday, 10 a.m. Shuttle from the from Oyster Bay, beautiful resort. I got to. I got to Lake Tahoe Monday night at 10.45 p.m. So there's a 40-hour travel day. I flew to Newark. Our, it was like a transfer. We're going to Newark to Chicago, like eight o'clock flight. That's like got delayed a couple hours, delayed a couple hours. But I'm sitting there watching. You can see the
tracker like where's my plane coming from? Yeah. My plane was in the air going to Newark. So I was like, this plane is going to land. They're going to transfer it over like the pilots are going to have enough time. Midway through that flight, that plane got diverted. So it's like, all right, that our flight homes canceled. Try to get a 6 a.m flight to get back to Chicago so I could get on the original flight Tahoe. That plane, I was checking. And then that was from LeGuardia. So I had to take a 45-minute Uber
from Newark to a different airport in Newark just to be like close to the hotel. So just be close to the airport. So I went up early, right before I go to bed, it's like 12 30 that flight diverted canceled. So I wasn't getting here with you guys on the PJ, then I had to book. There was like, there was no flight to get here. I booked a flight to Reno, took forever, flew to Denver, flew to Reno, drove here. And the whole time, every step of the way, big cash just texted me being like, oh,
wish you were here. We missed you. We're golfing right now. This is awesome. Again,
βanother good friend move. I think of my friends when they're not around. Hey, can I tell you something?β
We just reminded me of great week a couple of years. I was always on the way home, different,
different made a mistake, different took it out on me. I was just approved by the air. Well, the delay screwed you. And I didn't say, oh, you're screwed. Like, Hank, you fucked up. I just said, we're golfing. Also, I wasn't the only one who said that. Meem said about a thousand times. Hank, it wasn't the, it was max that screwed you by getting married. And yeah, and you to that, very, very, very nice resort that you spent time at. And the fact that they didn't
have any flights out on Friday or Saturday or Sunday. Like, what, what, when did you fly out? Saturday, Sunday morning, Sunday morning. And there were, there were no flights out. Yeah, max screwed you. I just wished you were there. Wait a great time. So, hey, did I not find us a really good one? What was, did I not, what was Friday? I didn't see your saying, I just don't go to the wedding to get back.
There would have been, yeah, there were no flights out on Saturday. Save yourself the roasting from double day. Yeah. No, that was Nicky Day. Oh, Nicky Day. So, hey, to be fair, also, while we, you would have loved playing golf, so we wanted to keep you updated on our golf run. You like watching people's, you know, read some of these texts. Okay. All right, so why, why are you reading it? Well, you read it. Let me, let me, let me, let me keep in mind. I'm just
not being in an airport. And you, as early as two questions. Hey, called me, let me ask you a question. I didn't know what my situation was. I got confused. That was just a few. That was on the show. Did I let me ask you two questions, Hank? One, would you have loved playing golf with us on Monday? Yes. Okay. So, where was I wrong on that, too? Did I not find us a golf round
at an incredible exclusive club that I paid for that you never thanked me for two days later?
Okay. I think true. Okay. So, yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. But like this wait for the snake. I'm so scared. I thank you. I'm, I'm, I'm firefast. Wait, thank you. Thanks, my cat. I paid for your golf the other day multiple times. What was it to thank you? Uh, I wanted to be married. It's one of the, I really wait. You did not pay it, Sidney. I did. I, I did. Pre-pocket, dude. I, I've, I've gone in and paid for everyone. I don't ask for thank you.
That's just how it goes. No, no, no, no. We'll have to double check because I, okay. Oh, yeah. I'll pay online with my credit card. I'll pull up, I'll pull up my statement.
βOkay. What you do have to do there because I did that the time we played is you have to go in.β
If you want to get carts, you have to pay for the carts. Oh, okay. Sorry. I thank you for the cart. Payed for four on it's five hundred thirty dollars. Sorry. I will pay for that next time. Well, like, yeah, that's how I feel. What do you mean? I'm not going to be demanding. Thank you.
No, I, I'm just saying the point of your mad that I, I churped your couple of...
I wish you'd played golf with us on Monday. I found us one of like the most exclusive,
I'm just talking to play two days later and got us on that course. Well, I'm talking about my, this is my fire vest as I was living it. Like, you're talking about like, what happened three days later. I was like, I was fucking pissed off all day and you guys were rubbing it in.
βI feel like I've read it wrong. Hey, we missed the fuck out of you, bro. Who said that?β
You. Okay, shit. We're all gutted. You won't be golfing with, well, that's today. Meems were reluctantly singing your spot. I had to make them. I don't think I'm going to be a great video. I said, can't do a golf video that a golf guy. It's facts. What else did you say? Did no one else had anything? Meems did say he was going to be mistaken a thousand times.
Hank, how are you doing? That was okay. Check it. Sorry. I bet how your travel day is going. Here's who I'm saying, where's Hank? I'm going up to everyone saying where. Here's me telling, here's me saying, what's the bet tonight? I really want to bet PFT's parlay. Let's turn this shit around. Yeah, you do want to take back the USA thing? Yeah, no, that was good. Yeah, thank you. I think I said it.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Because that's after the Delante Roast, they they turned you into being a USA fan. They shamed you into it. I actually open a tab with the Carcola or not.
I never played the course. I never played the course. This is all I'm just sitting, literally sitting
in a Hellscape airport. We had, we had the Hank doll. We took a picture of the Hank doll.
βThere's a lot to you. I didn't say, oh, yeah, where's that Hank that you just coming after me?β
I had nothing to do with taking a picture of the Hank doll and sending it to you. But I was just saying, like, Hank, we love this. You want to, you want to maybe spread this around a little bit? I said, memes just said Hank, you would have loved it. I mean, the Hank doll. You're only coming after me. That, no, the Hank, there's the Hank doll. And who sent that? memes, but like memes. I hate memes. That's not like there's nothing that memes can do. That's gonna
like, I respect that for me. That's a fair response that I actually, I, that's very funny and fair. What about PFT? PFT is the one in the Hank doll picture. He's the one who brought the Hank doll. I did not, to be fair. I didn't realize I had, I just keep it. You didn't expect that from PFT? I just keep that thing on. Yeah, I didn't look. Yeah, I didn't bring it on your chest to trouble. I think what we're getting to is like, we're just such good friends at you and I own that. I'll own that part.
I shouldn't have, I, I own that. These guys are mean to you. I shouldn't have done that. I own that. I actually have turned this around into, we're just such good friends that I got to be a better friend. I like that. That's the good thing. And I, I, I, I, I, I actually won't have done the same thing because I know it's like, I'm not that much of an asshole, but it was like, it just sucks to be stuck in an airport and your friends are rubbing it in your face. But then we had a pretty cool, you say that, but I was thinking, then I was thinking the whole time I was like,
remember when Big Cat brought his passport and freaked out, I mean, yeah, I mean, that was also on the way because I was existing. Like, oh, that, I don't know what you just, I'm just saying to me. I wanted you to say anything. Hey, can, can I say believe me? I want to give Big Cat a situation. I also, I also came clean said I was being a bitch. I want to give, which you know, you hopefully will say that to me. I want to give Big Cat credit for one thing. I'm not asking for this round of golf. I was as I was, as it was on Monday as we're playing this round of golf,
βI opened up the 18 birdies app and I said, I think I'm going to, because Hank and I are friends on it.β
I said, I think I should invite Hank to follow along with my round on 18 birdies. Actually, well, I actually wouldn't like that. Oh, really good, Big Cat said don't do that. That's, I said that was me. Yeah, that would have been me and then I had nothing to do. That would have been fun to follow. I would have been sure. Yeah, I said, I think Hank likes to follow when I play, but also you're right.
That would be me. I was like, oh, yeah, I would have liked that. I fucked up everything. But again, let me, don't do that. Get credit for trying to not be a dick. Yeah, I was literally like, hey, no, we've gone too far. We've, we've texted him enough. Like, just leave me alone. I said that to be if didn't on the call golf course, but you acknowledge you went too far. Thank you. Yeah, I was sitting in the case closed. All right. Anyway,
yeah, this is all, this is all. This is all my firefighters as I was living in Monday. How not beautiful guard? Please don't look beautiful part. I'm not even there yet. Lake Tahoe is the best. And like once I was driving here, like Monday night, once I got here, I was like, I'm, it, it, it, it, it, it went away instantly. Like it was 39 hours of hell, but like once I got to Lake Tahoe's again, this place is the best. So it was a tough Monday, tough Monday's happened.
That's the way she goes. But once we got here, it's been great vibes. How a week. Also, this was Max's
phone. 100%. Delantees. Delantees are a curse. Like, I, like, the brothers, I hope I never see them ever again.
Does every time I see them bad things happen to my teams?
our team. Right. They've done it. I don't want to happen. So it's like, yeah, good guys have a good life.
Me, we can do the Photoshop of Hank on the couch and all the Delantees around him, bond them. Thank you. The Hank, how you doing is that, that was like just genuine text. I'm reading it back right now. And I'm getting blamed for saying Hank, how you doing? That was a, as genuine a text is a guess. My text, we were just standing on this beautiful golf course with the beautiful mountains. And I just thought you would have loved it. Yeah. That pissed me off a lot. I like,
like, he also texted. I thought something was being was the, the open the tab with the cart. It's also like, everything else. I was just actually asking how you do no shit text of all time. Like, you could have been at, like, you could have been at any course. I mean, like, you would have loved this. Like,
I know. And then I just said, hell, yes. We missed you at golf. That's not mean.
What about the phone call on Sunday night? That was PFT call on you. And you were saying I was like,
βI, I think I asked you what's up. And then you reminded me that they're stuck. And that was,β
what was that mean? But we're all gutted. You won't be golfing. What does that mean? It means reluctantly is taking your spot. Like, no, that one was mean. Yeah. But the other ones, like, I did, I was generally asking, how are you doing? I shouldn't get blamed for how are you doing? I still don't, I don't understand how they're all the sarcastic text. It's like, it's all sarcastic. Like, you want me to give a bad update so you guys can sit there and laugh. Again, I was,
I was mad because I was stuck in an airport so I was just not every text I was not happy with. That's fair. How was golf on Wednesday? Golf on Wednesday was great. Great. Beautiful, of course. Great time. Happy, we were able. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I owe you everything. How'd you shoot? I saw, well, I saw the 44. That's really good. Striping it. Turn the week right around. We only played nine holes, obviously. Well, you don't have to sit around.
βWe don't see it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, okay. Is that it? Anything else?β
I'm fat again, but that's, that is what it is. I didn't expect the old fire festival. Yeah, it's me, but it's how own it. Not the old fire festival. It was the double dees. And again, that was, it was just, it was, yeah, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it memes gets, I, I like that memes gets a pass because he, you expected from him. Well, you miss, you're playing rock for me because I got to play that. And I want some
money off PFT. Like, it was good day for me. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of money. That's being what he's doing right now. No, I, like, I, I, I, I got this opportunity. Yeah, he's making the most of an opportunity.
I would have, I would have never played that. It's true because you weren't there. Yeah.
I'll say, I was pretty, I appreciate how strong you were at the airport because in everything moved around. We, we, couple of who's got to hit the lake and like it was beautiful. So, I appreciate how strong you were in the airport. You're welcome. Hey. I think it's just one of the situations you get the Madison, like, the people you love the most. You're, I mean, like, the, like, you can't, you know that, like, family can't, they're not, they're not going to get rid of you. Like,
you can't, you can't, you can't bring up family. So, it's like you'll get more mad at your siblings or your parents, like, they know then a friend. It's also, it's going on right now. It's also, like, how he hates the double dees. Right. Right. Right. Exactly. It's like, he knows, like, you can get mad at that because, like, hey, we're going to be fine. We're going to, we've made it through
βeverything. So, we'll be just fine. If anything, if you should be concerned because you did send the,β
you did send the picture of Hank in the, no, no, no. I, I post for the picture and it's my idea to take the picture. And it was your job. Oh, you can't with you. But memes took the picture and sent the picture. Okay. All right. I did not send it. Yeah. I did ask memes to send me the picture. So, I could send it to Hank, but then I saw that memes already sent it. I was the only one who said nothing because I, I did feel personally. Well, you use your foot. Yeah. So, I said nothing. 100%. Hank, it, okay. So, now that we've
established, it was a bad trip for you. I'm sorry. No, it was a good trip. No, it was a bad Monday. How great trip. Great trip. After, you know, the, the luxury of time passing a little bit, are you feeling any better about the trade? No, a little bit, but no, slight, like, I was feeling absolutely dog shit terrible about it. I would say, now it's just dog shit terrible. Like, we've, we've gone up. Taking the taken away the absolute. Yeah. Yeah. One last question, Hank. What time
did you get in on Monday night? 10.45. Was there anything in your room like Jacob, Jacob Macolden, met me? They got me some laundry detergent. So, I could do my laundry. Because I didn't, I obviously didn't, I was supposed to go on Chicago, repack. Come here. I just have my wetting, my wedding week, linens, and outfits. But we have laundry in our room. So, exactly. I mean, Jacob and, and Colton got me some laundry, and they got me some balloons and the Rishi sticks.
Hmm. Who's idea was that? I didn't know what the card wasn't signed. Oh, there's my idea. The ones that stayed up was to tie it up in your right night. And that, that was my idea
To get you that stuff.
thank you. I don't know. It was just a card. I assumed it was Jacob and Colton, because they were,
no, it was Zack. Was it who, who's idea was it to get them that stuff? We were just a messenger.
βIt was a big hatch idea too. Oh, thank you. We were just friends. I, I think them, because they were there.β
But I didn't, in the card wasn't signed. But thank you. Be mad. It's, Madison, the people you love the most. It's fair. I didn't, I didn't know this from you. It's actually why I was mad. Most mad at you last year for it, because I know that I can be mad at you, and we'll be okay. Yeah. That's it. We're just doing, we're replaying. It's fair. It's all fair. This is all fair game. Yeah. I just didn't rub it in your face, but yeah. I, I think that's
actually how you doing. And we played a great round yesterday. I mean, that, again, you're here. I'm just telling you how mad I was Monday. You were acting like the play today. You're going to take away how mad I was Monday. I'm not mad. What's like out of your Tuesday? You were good. I was good. I was just angry. And I, I took PFT's parlay. I really, really wanted to win that bet, and I had to watch my game and just, it was, it was, it was devastating. It feels like now
you're just mad. No, you're just turning on me for giving you a bad parlay. You brought, I'm just, I brought a lot of gold. I'm just going through my Monday. And where my anger was at throughout the day. And early it was pickat memes late. It was you and this comes off. You know, I stayed. Yes. And the United States. You guys, you got, you fell back on your old flame to hate the United States. You were mad too. What do you mean? I was mad. I was mad. I was mad. I'm out of the new.
Yeah. Yeah. Maybe not on Monday. That's true.
Which you're for our first PFT? Well, I mean, that's hard to top. Yeah. That's a tough firefest.
My firefest is I accidentally stole a car on Tuesday. So hand up. That one's on me. We went to two cars from the airport and then we drove them to the hotel. I rode with big cat on the way to the hotel. The other guys drove the other car. And so I was in big cats car when we got to the hotel. Got out, went out, watched the soccer game, played a beautiful round of golf with memes. And then Tuesday morning woke up, came out here to tip the pod.
And I had to pick up the, uh, the rental car from the VLA at the hotel. So I gave them my last name and they brought the car around. I got in the car. There was nothing in the car. drove away, uh, drove up to this, uh, this beautiful recording space that we have here. Got out recorded an entire episode of part of my take. And then got back into the car to drive to the golf course where we filmed a golf video. As we got to that golf course, as we got to the car to leave from here,
we started looking for max was a year set of clubs golf clubs. I started looking for max golf clubs in the back of the rail car that I had. And there were nowhere to be found. And then we stood around and I said, this might not be our rental car, because it was the same making model different color. The rental car that we did get was white, uh, the one that they gave me at the VLA was like a dark gray. And, uh, so we just sat around thinking to ourselves like, is this,
did they give me the wrong car? And then I asked big, kind of like, is this, is this the wrong car that we have? And big cat said, I was just going to say something. I don't think that's the right car. Yeah, I was the whole time. I was like, I feel like it was a white car not a dark green car, but I also watched you like, I watched the VLA give you the keys and you walk confidently. So I was like,
βmaybe I missed remember that. Yeah. So I go back to the car and I drive it back to the hotel.β
And all the VLA guys are waiting for me at the front. I was like, I think I got the wrong car. And I was like, yeah, you definitely have the wrong car. By the way, the person that I went that car left the bottle of water in the center console, I pounded that. So sorry for drinking your water. So we get back there. And they, they bring around the other car on the VLA is like, yeah, the guy that owns this car, he was actually supposed to go to the airport to pick his wife up this
morning and he didn't have a car. So we had to take him in a shuttle there and back. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. And so I said, hey, that's my bad. That's my bad. I probably, I probably should known what color rental car that we had. But I don't know, I will take, I'll take a certain amount of, I don't think I should have all the blame this, but I'll take, I'll take like 33% of the blame. Leaving the car running and yeah, I was going to ask that part too. Yeah. Yes. So then when I got here,
I stepped out, because I've been conditioned through some of the cars that I've owned, that it's got like a proximity thing where you step out and then the car automatically turns off.
βSo I'm not, I'm out of practice hitting the button and then taking the key. Yeah. No, I,β
everyone was at the first team box and I had to go return something to the car and I ran back
to go return it and I was like, this car just still on. Still. Yeah. Yeah. And it would have been still on if I didn't have to bring something back to the car. That would have been actually poetic if somebody then stolen Nikolar. Yeah. Yeah. After I stole somebody else's, I think I
Deserved like, yeah, about a third of the blame for for stealing the rental car.
The car right now is in this parking lot. Okay. Yeah. We got the keys. I've got the keys.
βI've got eyes, I've got eyes, ears on it. See, yeah, I, I technically kind ofβ
partially committed Grand Theft Auto before Grand Theft Auto came out. Yeah. This listen happens, felt like a badass. I mean, it's more the, the valet was probably freaking out. Yeah. That's a big thing that they were like, it's my fault. It's my fault. Yeah. They were sweating, um, but I kind of wish I got and pulled over driving the stolen, that would have been awesome. It was also funny that it was like, uh, we just been doing it for like of what 800 yards. Yeah,
spots, well, they did it. That's a 12 minute walk. Oh, I can. Oh, pill. Oh, pill. That's that's you. And it's an altitude. We, you did it yesterday. You would have known about the altitude if you were there Monday. We did the walk. The other end. It's hard. It's hard walk. The other full loadouts. Yeah, we had full loadouts. They didn't even try to call me. I, I figured that they would have tried to like let me know that hey, this car has been, this car that you have,
it's not yours. But I didn't know it. No one did that. Yeah. Well, whatever. Um, okay. My fire press is team USA lost and, uh, I missed the fuck out of my guy Hank on Monday when we're playing golf. Yeah. That's, I really wish he was there with us. He would have loved it. I do guys play. Decent really good on the first hole. I've got a problem that I'm trying to
solve, which is I, for the last like 10 rounds that I played, I always, like, part of the first hole.
And I feel great. And then the wheels fall off for like the next three holes. Some mental coach out there has to be able to help me with that. Max's solution was it's good that you're
βnervous on the first hole. Maybe you just get too calm. You have to get re-nervous on every hole.β
You have a good hole. And then you're like, oh, I'm good at golf. Yeah. And then, and then you, you go to the next hole thinking that you're good at golf. And then you become bad at golf. Then I'm, then I go back to the bad. But I, I don't know what it is. I need to just trick myself into thinking among the first team. Yeah, the starters there, the starters watching everyone else is behind you. There's, there's just more pressure on the first hole. And you just
relax a little too much. Yeah, there's something going on upstairs. I need, I need a psychologist or owes to contact me and let me know what to do. Also, reverse fire effects. We got a resolution to the onion situation from last year's Shane. We went back to the scene of the crime and we got an apology. I, I demanded an apology from from the restaurant for lying to Shane about the onions in the tuna salad and we made the, we write it the wrong. And Shane got his, he ate
with us and we had a great time. Shane, this is a famous storm out situation last year. Yeah, I mean, coming back here was obviously something that was weighing on my mind the entire time. So it was nice to, yeah, I didn't want to go back. He's not lying when he says that. He, it was weighing on his mind. I mean, it was also involved in almost every conversation. Yeah, that's when it was weighing on your mind. And now that whole day, you guys like, you're ready for onions tonight. Yeah,
we're like, we're going to get redemption this. Yeah, but it felt good, right? Yeah. Also, I hate to have be for anybody. So like, yeah, it was the guy who took our order was a stool, a very, very cool guy. And it was very funny because we did a, it was like 10 of us. We all ordered and then he came to our table. This after the apology after we made good Shane was like, all right, I'll order dinner. I'll sit here. I'll, I'll dinet this restaurant. They hugged it out. Yeah, they hugged it out. Everything,
the guy comes up to our table. He's like, hey, I accidentally deleted one sandwich. Can we just go over everyone's order again? And the one sandwich he deleted with Shane's. And I wish he had not
come up and fix that because that would have been incredible if we had gotten all our food and your
food just wasn't there. That would, that would be past the breaking point. There's no return there. That would be ultimate beef for life. Yes. Yeah, you would, and I would have had your back.
βI would have had your back on that one. You're to become the Joker. The only thing you were a littleβ
bit ridiculous, you were being a little bit of a child. But the other stuff I would have been like, let's rock. How did the role play help? I feel like you were confident in calm when you had that conversation at the restaurant? I mean, yeah, at any time, anytime you can practice something, get reps and it makes, it makes the game time a lot easier. Yeah. So true. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Now it's happy, you guys helped me through that book. Mm-hmm. Okay. I'm happy to see growth from
you, Shane. Thanks, I'm growth. Yeah. That's strong. Zach, my first week, kind of my first to everybody,
because you know, unfortunately, Portugal did lose and will no longer be able to see or not to play on the world stage. Is that true? Maybe not, well, did you see what happened today? Wait, wait, wait, full transparency, no, because it's about 9.30 and I didn't, I wasn't online that much this morning. Uh, we would happen. They hired Portugal hired, uh, Ronaldo's club coach to coach Portugal for the next World Cup. So everyone's connecting the dots and being like,
he's deaf in the world cup is in Portugal. Oh, so that's a hometown, home team victory right there.
They're basically like, there's no way that this guy is actually retiring.
exact same thing in four years. They're going to do in Portugal, Portugal's actually going to qualify. Well, no, they don't have to qualify. I know, but they, they could if they, they don't have to. They'll get the invite, but they could if they needed to. They don't, we, we don't get a free
invite this year. They do. Yes, but we needed our free invite. Ronaldo never needs a free invite.
βRight. So he is playing. If you should have, if he's got the club coach for real, and this isn'tβ
like a sick joke, now then that will be awesome. I'm being serious. I love that for us then. I take a back reverse fire fest. This is a cool fest. Let's go. Do you think that if Ronaldo was somewhat holding his team back in this World Cup, he's going to be better in four years? I think there's a World where he can learn from this World Cup and realize that maybe he takes a different role on the team if he does play next World Cup. Not, not someone's a cheerleader, because he can't contribute,
but more so like maybe you let somebody young guys get in trouble. Some of them in the last minute of extra time, in case he goes to shoot out. That can be one of the attributes, because he's phenomenal at those. Even at, I guess, he'll be 44 when the World Cup comes around. Hopefully he can kind of take a different seat on the team and then bring one home for Portugal. I'll be awesome. Do you think he's going to be able to take a back seat? He couldn't do it this year, but maybe you know,
you learned it? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But he definitely couldn't do it this year unfortunately. Yeah. I'd also like to just quickly say for all the people that think I hate soccer, which I've said. This week, every night I've just been watching soccer documentaries,
untold Jamie Vardy, one of the best soccer managers I've ever seen, basically the Liam Gallagher,
became like a soccer player. You just, you just call it a soccer memory. That's a good name for soccer memory. And then last time I was watching in, in Norwegian, the, the Netflix soccer memory about like how they qualify for the World Cup. So, all right, just just some for the
βhaters. All right. Take that haters. Take that haters. You should, hey, you shouldn't watch it.β
You should have watched the US one before. Yeah. Yeah. I wasn't, I wasn't as into it. Yeah. You were just watching other countries. Yeah. You like every other countries, documentaries about soccer except the, I started watching this week. I'll watch it now. Okay. Well, now it's, yeah, now it's now it's pointless. Yeah. Jamie Vardy, one's awesome. Cool. Okay. Max, do you have anything? Are you wedding recap? Uh, I found out that I'm, I am Bridezilla. Yeah, you are. Yep.
My wife is very low maintenance and doesn't really care about like normal bride things. And I find out I really care. Because when things went wrong, I started to freak out and stress. And my wife literally couldn't have cared less about anything. But I was going around yelling at the wedding planner yelling at the venue when like minimal things were going wrong. And it took me like a good two hours into the wedding for me to actually like enjoy it because I was stressed
about things that weren't going perfectly. So I'm Bridezilla. I found out I'm like the picture I just sent. This is Max before, right before the wedding started. So stressed. Oh, yeah. I was stressed. I was stressed. I'm an, I'm an, I'm an anxious guy. I'm an anxious guy and I wanted everything to go perfectly. But everything went perfectly, right? Yeah, everything, everything went great perfectly. Everything went great. Oh, my gosh. I felt great in my suit. Shadow Contver Wellness for the needle.
Max, you think that maybe she's like so calm and carefree because she knows that you've got her back and that you're going to take care. Yeah, that's good. That's a good, that's a good husband move.
βBut wedding week was awesome. Uh, truly like the best week of my life. I think everyone had a goodβ
time, super fun. I won't ever do it again, but it was, it was delightful. Yeah, that's a big thing
to say. You don't know that. Never again. Would you renew the vows? Yeah. Yeah. Then maybe you just get
creating, then we can have Hank back onto one. I'm also a cryer. I'm also a cryer. Well, yeah, we have a cry. You're an emotional Italian vibe. It's a beautiful thing for at least 70% of the, it took me until like the last 30% of this ceremony for me to stop crying. Yeah. If you were to know that's because somebody cheated, right? Yeah. People never say like, hey, let's just renew the vows. Or if you just want a party. Yeah, I guess I can say. Yeah, I guess a party. That could
also just be an anniversary party. But renewing the vows implies that maybe that was need to be renewed. Max, now you can do the, speak it up. You can do the fun trick that my wife loves when I do is when I introduce her to people as my first wife. Yep. Yeah. That is actually true. Yeah. She's not like that. Yeah. Also funny term. Did you guys talk about the Max and Taylor Swift got engaged the same day and married the same day? Damn. Not engaged the same. I think we got
engaged like the day after. But yes. Your wedding was better than Taylor Swift's. My wedding was
Awesome.
day after we all went to this better than we went to the next day. And I had, I kept saying
βthe day after was better because I was so stressed the day of about everything going perfectly.β
And then the next day we just got absolutely blitzed and like boat picking us up from the resort, dropping us off at the island. We were there from like 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Just we drank so much.
We drank so much wine that they had to leave the little island off of St. Martin to go
βon to the island to get more wine to bring it back to us. Oh yes. So it was great. It was unbelievablyβ
fun. My card to get the client and Hank did have to put it on his card. What a guy. I did pay him back. But nice. It was. Well, it was also like it was like one of the things where it was
if it was like a club in like America, it would have been like 40 grand. But it was like
βunder 10. Yeah. But it was like, I was like, I got it. I got it. And I was like, I think I got it.β
All right. Good. Good. Tau a week, boys. Another one in the books will be back in studio on Sunday night. And I'll say this Monday. Big, big guests. It's an awesome, awesome interview. Happy birthday to Jessica Simpson. Love you, guys. [Music]
