Let's go.

Welcome to part of my take presented by draft Kings. The crown is yours. Today is Wednesday, August 5th and we lost PFT. Where did PFT got? I was really nervous. I was really nervous. I was really nervous. I was really nervous. Yeah. I look up and PFT's gone and PFT's back. He's back. He's back. PFT, you're back. Just like football. Football is back. Hard knocks is back. PFT is back. We might lose him again, but listen. We're only doing 10 minutes on zoom. The rest of the show's in studio.

PFT football is back. We're locked in. The Jeff Bezos is the algoards of the world. Don't want you to hear these takes that we've got about hard knocks. They're trying to limit our free speech. Hard knocks kind of sucks now, but that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all. It was great to see football is 100% back. The highlights for me. I would have like two highlights. Before you do the highlights, I couldn't agree more. Hard knocks. I do not care about hard knocks anymore.

But there's something about the first episode of Hard knocks where it's seeing the guys in training camp. Sam Darrell did a whole thing about the pads cracking and hearing the music and just them saying the word football over and over. It really is the beginning of like, oh yeah, football is back. It's like the first leaf falling off the tree. It feels like you can feel it coursing through your veins. Football is back. I'm not going to watch probably any more hard knocks,

but I always watch episode one that is our promise to you. And yes, go ahead. Give us your highlights.

Now my highlights were number one coach McDonald does have a son and his son does recognize him. Mm-hmm. And it's not also, I keep an eye on him because this is a football guy in training.

“The only words that I think he can speak are football. Yeah. So that was that I think that was probably”

my highlight of the entire episode was his son probably about like a year old just watching football practice pointing outside and just saying football repeatedly. And that was going to be a brother. He's going to be a big brother. So congrats to the McDonald's. Yeah, big bro. And to it seems like Coach McDonald is almost like almost like a therapist when he's in his coach's office. Early, that's what they're showing to us. Like that long conversation that he had,

up when you get in a lab and you try to figure out what coach is, what type of coach is

do you want to see delivering that beginning of the season speech on hard knocks to get you really feeling like football's back. He's like a little too cerebral when it comes to that sort of thing. I would like to see like he mentioned Rex Ryan. I would actually just like to see Rex Ryan giving the welcome back speech. Yeah, but overall overall like it's football, there was grass, there was a ball flying through the air. There was the sound of pads hitting. There was a line

back of showing up in the biggest truck I've ever seen. And they had the blue angels. Yeah, if you know, you know what I like about Mike McDonald, he's human. Like you could tell he's a little bit awkward. He's a little uncomfortable talking in front of the, you know, like in front of

a big crowd of the opening scene when they're getting their shoot ball rings. By the way,

“I have a take. I think Super all rings have gotten too big. Like to big. You can't even wear that.”

You can't pretty much a lot. Yeah, it's not it's like I would rather have a Super all ring that's really cool that you could wear all the time versus something that is it looked, it was just insane. They're pressing buttons and shit. It's like a, it's like an Nintendo switch on their finger. Yeah, we've lost the plot on the Super Bowl rings. We need to dial them back because when they, I saw that ring, I saw the old ring. I thought to myself,

the old C-hawks ring looks awesome. Yeah. That's great. And wouldn't you want something you could wear? Yeah, you could wear it all the time instead of just like having it be so big that it doesn't even make sense. But yeah, Mike McDonald's, he's like a real dude. He's just, he seems like a real dude. The, the, the talk with, uh, with Nicky Emanwarra in the, in the, in his office was really cool. He mentioned the Rex Ryan when Rex Ryan said this new hot shot coordinator

is dog shit. Um, when he was dog shit to start his career. He just seems like a really good dude. And, uh, yeah, my highlights were bald eagles rocking. They had the bald eagle at the beginning. The, the, the coaches sitting in that room, just talking about we got to get the pads on. Well, no, we'll find out when the pads are on. We don't know if this guy's good until the pads are on. I love that. That's super cut. Um, and then yeah, he, and then I also wrote that he, I know

he, we now know he has kids. So that's it. That was hard knocks episode one. Stella's now barking. This is, we're, we're having a whole show max. Take it away. Well, let's still out of my office. Take away Max. Um, I had three notes. One of them was Rex Ryan. And I want, wanted to know. Oh, p, p, p. It's also going on.

“Such a, you want to sell his barking. Oh, and again, die. Um, you know what? Why don't we do this?”

Why don't we kick it to ourselves where we're in studio and we have a great show for everyone. We have, like, what do we have an hour and a, I don't know, two hours that we've already taped? How much do we have? Yeah, we're good. We're good. We're good. We've so much show. We've been doing show all day. Meems. What do we got? I, I kind of like this chaos beginning. So realize I also realize I just have like bedding behind me that because the national last week,

Tony Sheffler slept over my house. So like I, this is just chaos everywhere. My stone cold, Steve, awesome. Take a sick. Oh, pf he's back. Pf he's back. Pf he's back. This is all. So yeah, vests is so sick. I don't know if everyone could see the vests see that. And then you got my kids go a mini golf clubs there. Pf, we're just going to kick it to ourselves. Because we got Stella barking now. You keep cutting it out. We've done like two and a half hours of great podcasting in studio today. So let's do it.

“Let's hard knock season episode one. I'm going to give it a B minus. And it was also”

interesting that Hank didn't show up to this because he knew there was going to be highlights the Super Bowl. Hey, Stella. How's it going, Stella? All right. Kicking to ourselves back in studio.

“Before we talk football, we're going to have Jeff passing on to talk some MLB trade deadline.”

Does they want to have a winner max? How do you feel about the fillets? I'm very excited for what the cubs did. They went and said they were going to get some arms. They got two starters, bullpen arms, go for it. Don't be afraid of the Dodgers. Just fucking go for it. Good job, Jed. Max. I wish I had the same opinion as you. You did not feel like you went for it. We did the same thing that Dave and Browsky loves to do every single year, which is like

go for it a little bit, but not enough to really make a difference. But to be able to go back to the fan base and say, hey, look, I did this. We have all these good, we have all these good players. We should be playing better. I still think that we have a good ball club to compete and look, I did this one thing. But that one thing is not enough to compete against the Dodgers in my opinion. We still right now of Aaron Nola pitching in the playoffs as our fourth starter,

“who is not a major league pitcher right now. He is not a capable player. Who is he pitch for?”

He pitches for the Philadelphia Phillies. What league do they play in? They play in the national league. What? In the major leagues? He's a major league pitcher. He's a major league pitcher. He's statistically, like, he's statistically the worst starting pitcher in baseball right now. Right now, he's slated to start. He's a major league pitcher. I wish that he either just didn't do anything and just said, this team is not good enough to compete. We gave up our fourth best

prospect, who I don't fucking know shade about prospects, but people that I trust say that he was on a track to be one of the best starting pitching prospects in baseball. And we gave him up for a guy who is good and he's going to make our lineup better. But our defense is now absolutely

terrible. We're moving the Louisa rise to second base. Bryce and Scott are only plus defender to third

base. Alec Bome, who is a trotace at first base to first base and Bryce Harper to the outfield. He hasn't played the outfield in years. So we just made our offense slightly better, our defense, which is already the worst in the league, significantly worse, and we gave up a good prospect. Just for him to say that work, look, look, look, we did this without really really going all in. The part of the M.O.B. trade deadline giving up prospects. It's like, hey, I just hope I don't

hear this guy's name in three years. That's especially for rental. Especially for rental. Zach, did you see? I don't know if you saw, but mobile or got traded. I was a little upset about that. Where's he at? He got traded to the angels. That's just hardening. I was looking forward to.

He was supposed to pop off the season. He was supposed to be the one. I never be the one.

Because Zach, when we went to, when Zach went to his first Cubs game like early in the season,

“he was like, put me on to someone and I was like, listen, I love mobile. I think he's going to be,”

you know, he's got a bad body, but he can hit the ball. He kind of fell off a little bit this year. It was struggling. They put, they sent him back down. Then they traded him. So no longer a cup. He had your angels fan now. Maybe swap. I'm not sure. You're just a baller fan. Yeah. I was a baller fan and he dropped and then some things went on and now he's moved on. So yeah. I'm excited though. The Cubs finally, like, I actually do think that Bruce Levine

sending the tweet, Twinkle D and Twinkle Dum started, started a chain of events that the Cubs went and went all in for this trade deal. They're like, we better do something. We better actually make the people happy because we're getting called out and people sent, they they seem to agree with the writer that was calling them Twinkle D and Twinkle D and Twinkle D and Twinkle D and Twinkle D. Yeah. Hey, are you happy? I'm excited. I mean, I know like, I'm not a 162er. I'm not going to

sit here and turn like I've been locked in on the Red Sox all year. Obviously, this last month, greatest month in team history and then they went forward at the trade deadline. I've said it on the show before the season of the start till the, you know, trade deadline ends. This is where you can be around. They're mid run. I'm on the Bayonwagon and it's exciting. Yeah. I used to raise the good. I mean, the raise going for it, too. Like, Freddie Paralta, Liam Hicks, those are good.

Those are good trades for the raise. The Yankees, Yankees, they're going for it. Yeah. The Nats, it was, it was a good, I'll say this. I did not want to be a sell at the deadline, but the most recent series against the Dodgers getting, just getting your ask kit. Excuse me, get some breaks getting your ask kit for straight games. It makes it easier to become sellers. It's easy to say, okay, now I get it. Let's just say, fuck it, punt for next year.

It does stay. I'm glad that we kept CJ Abrams. That was my one big worry that we would end up getting rid of him. And I still do have that worry. And until I see an extension for him or James Wood, I feel like this, the front office is not really prepared to commit to handing up big contracts, but I guess we had a lot of, we got a lot of arms from all the guys that we dealt. Louis, Garcia, if you're going to trade a guy like that, trade him in the middle of the best season of

four is Griffin traded to the Guardians. He was pitching in Japan for like the last three seasons. And we brought him over, developed him a little bit, had the best season of his career, we're able to trade him. So all in all, it sucks being a seller, but at least if we go like two and two against the Braves, if we split that series, then I would be sitting around be like maybe we should go for it, maybe we should go for it, maybe if you're going to go out, it's good that we got swept

and then last night we saw just like how bad that bullpen continues to be against the fillies. I was kind of shocked, the Braves and the Brewers were the big teams that it didn't feel like they pushed. They have teams that are definitely championship caliber teams and they didn't go like big game hunting. So that one was a little confusing, but maybe they just think they have enough. Yeah, there was one wild thing that came out from the Nats. They traded Luis Garcia to the Yankees,

one of the guys they got for Luis Garcia was Jack Sebert and then Jack Sebert's mom tweeted this out a couple days ago. Her son had deemed the nationals back in 2015, telling them hey, trade for this kid, he's going somewhere. And then so his mom said proud mom moment. It's tampering, proud mom moment are Sun DM the nationals when he was 13 years old. Yesterday they traded for him. Baseball is weird and wonderful. That's tampering. He tampered with himself. Yeah.

“Yeah. That's why he got to keep an eye on your middle school boys. We're going to Jeff Passen.”

We'll break down more of the trade deadline. We'll talk some football before we get to Hotsie cool

throne. We have Bijon got paid, big time paid. What was his 75 million? Three year extension worth

up to 75 million with 51 million guaranteed. That's pretty, it's pretty damn good for running back. Yeah, I guess the zoom call worked. Yeah. That was a big one. Someone else just got paid too, right? Well, I know, do we talk about Chris Alave the other day? I think we mentioned that. Yeah, Z-flow is that paid today. That's right. Z-flow is not a 40 million four years. Travis Hunter looks like he's a real man now. He wasn't a man before. He wants to play every snap on offense and defense

this year. Yeah. Yeah. And then we have Kenny Pickett starting officially on Thursday night, which will be fun. Yeah. Excited about that. It's football. Very excited. Okay. And then the other

big news in the NFL. We finally got our QB tears. Our offseason tears. This is from the athletic.

“I think Mike Sando does it every year. And he basically talks to a panel of 21 executives,”

29 coaches overall. Each voters placed 35 veteran quarterbacks into five tears from best tier one to worst tier five. And then he waits at all and spits it all out. And we have, so you guys stop me when you think that there's an issue. I saw a couple of issues that maybe come up for this show. Patrick Williams number one, Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford tied it to and Joe Burrow at fourth. That is tier one. Yeah. I feel, I guess you could make an argument. Lamar and Joe Burrow like

hey, what's yeah. That was my, that was my issue. Yeah. Joe Burrow, great quarterback. Love Joe, the league's better when Joe Burrow was healthy and playing football. In the last let's go like three, three years. I feel like I feel like it's gotten to the point where we can say Lamar Jackson should be ahead of Joe. Because we're doing a lot of like Joe Burrow, if all the

“stars align, Joe Burrow should be top four. I think, but Joe Burrow two years ago, remember that year”

where he was, it was like 43 touchdowns, nine interceptions. Yeah. Basically carried that terrible

team and they started slow. He, he could have won MVP if they got in the playoffs. There, there are defense has just been so, so bad. There's that stat out there that like the, the teams. Basically any, Joe Burrow in games when his offense scores more than 30 points are like 30 and 15 and every other quarterback when they're offense scores more than 30 points are like 90 percent when presented. Yeah. So I'm okay with it. I think you go one way. I think maybe it's not

Joe Burrow shouldn't be in tier one. It's Lamar Jackson should also be in tier two. Yes. And then so Lamar Jackson is, is five Justin Herbert six, deck press got seven. That's a big jump from our top 17 14. Well, 14. Well, last year he was 17. So that's a 10 spot jump from a year ago and then big jump since just to take you away. Yeah. Drake made eight Jaragov at eight. So they're tied Jordan love at 10. Brock party and Kail Williams tied at 11. Jane Daniels at 13. Baker

made to be able to 14, Sam Donald at 14. They're tied Trevor Lawrence and then Jalen hurts. That's tier two. Tier two is massive. Massive big tier. They made the whole plan out of tier two. Yeah. Which is, I get it. Um, but these are, they're all quarterbacks that have like,

Yeah. I agree. I actually agree with what you're about to say. I know what you're going to say.

Max, cover yours. Yeah. Max, cover yours. I don't want you to hear this. I'm about to pay a compliment to somebody. I don't want you to have a compliment to somebody. I don't want you to have a cover cover. Okay. Thank you, Max. They're not covered. Okay. So Jalen hurts. Yeah. Is 17 on this respect. Jalen hurts. One, he beat Patrick the homes of a Super Bowl. He's been outplayed. Oh, in two Super. It's the quarterback tier list. Yeah. Not the running back. Okay. Okay.

I guess that makes more sense. I have mine carry. I saw it. And I was like, Jalen hurts. It feels like he's too low. And Sam Donald just want a Super Bowl. Right. That, that, that was a little confusing to me. But the tier two list is, the tier two's are the, like, the tier ones are or you win because of these guys. Tier two is they can be that guy, but sometimes they're not.

“Right. That feels good. And then Bonyx is in tier three. I think I, I got a question for you real”

quick. Yes. Drake, me. Yep. He's tied for eight. He is two spots behind Justin Herbert. What are your thoughts? Herbert's been in the lead longer. We're about down Prescott. But also been in the lead longer.

Okay. Drake is third year. But this isn't about like who's older. This isn't quote,

quarterback aged tears. I mean, you, like you, we saw what Jalen did. I was like, he, we're having one good year doesn't, you know, you got to, you got to prove it over time. Mm-hmm. Those guys have played well for, for more time. They are giving deck a lot of credit this year. He did play really good last year and they've got CDN pickings coming back, which is going to be massive for them. Would you all things being equal? Would you rather have a quarterback who is

freshly engaged? A quarterback who is married? A quarterback who is divorced? Or just broken up, I guess, for deck married. I think freshly engaged. You're still trying to prove it. You know, not actually married yet. Right. Still trying to prove you. You got to do planning and it's like you still got to be like, if you're married, you don't have to worry, you know, you're locked in. You can make you take care of that. If you're engaged, you got to planning and talking and yeah, it's a lot more

that goes on. Yeah. Well, he's going to go home and he's going to have this, what I mean? Yeah,

no, I hear he talking about shit. He's got his body first. How much do we have to hear about

“Max's fucking wedding last year? Like, that's, that's what Justin Herbert's teammates are talking”

about my life. Justin Herbert's going to go, I know. And that's what he often say at marriage doesn't start till you stop talking. He's going to, he's going to put the playbook down when he goes home and he's going to pick up the binder, the binder of things that he has to review, like all the decisions she made that day, he has to go through them and then pretend to have an opinion on all of them. It's going to be exhausting for him. I think I would want if you're just getting to the league

single. Yeah. And then after like, you get that second contract and then you get married. I, so the only other note I had, well, there's two more. One, I know that we're bias on this show. We wear our bias on our sleeves. Tyler Shock was 26th. I'd take him over almost everyone in front of him, like in that tier where they're not bonus on there. We'll love us. He's not on the list. No. But I would tell him Tyler Shock. Come on. He should be hired. Camoard is 25, but there's no we'll

love us. Tied for 26. He's tied with two. But I feel like people didn't watch the games last year. If you haven't tied for 26. Yeah. Like he's, I'd take him over the, the guys in front of him.

“I would agree. I think it's just, again, a massive win for any Panthers fan out there.”

Bryce is 22. You would, if you were to say two years ago that Bryce Young would be listed as 22, you would probably be pretty pumped about that. Yeah. And the fact that he's only like one and a half spots, two spots away from from CJ Straud. That's a big win for Panthers fans. Then Tyler is 23. Nine is 34. I don't know how they did that. Do they have access to the depth chart? Is it, are they doing like proactive propaganda for Kyla Murray? I don't get it.

It's, it's also crazy to look at CJ Straud. I think 2024 he was the eighth ranked quarterback. And he's now down all the way to 20. Yeah. So that's a precipitous drop. It is precipitous. What about Rogers 19? That's fine. It is what it is. He was seven two years ago. So he's, he's dropped a little. So Deshawn is 31. Shoulder 35. Yeah, both of them. So the Browns have like an almost an embarrassment of riches. So the Browns and the Falcons and the Vikings. I think those are the three teams that

have more than one quarterback on this list. That's pretty impressive. Yeah. The Browns, you can,

That's pretty sick. Yep. I'm just looking if there's any tier changes. Some of the, some of the

risers. So Joe Burrow's ranked three last year. So he had guessed he's gone down a little.

“And Lamar Jackson was ranked four. I believe last year. So he was in tier one last year. He's”

dropped a tier two. I don't know what it. I guess, I guess they're not making the playoffs. Yeah. I feel like the Mars going to have a good season from like not the John Harbour's a very good coach, but just something different. Mm-hmm. It's going to end back when from 12 to 7 this year. Big jump. That's a huge jump. Big jump. And Gino went from three to four. Tier wise. Tier wise. Tier wise. Yes. Yeah. I think that Trevor Lawrence could also be higher on this list.

Yeah, probably. Probably. All right. So we have Aldi here to give us his tier. You're going to give us your top 10. Aldi, the instructions were for Aldi. No computer, no Google, no phone. So you could have forgotten. So off the top of the head, Aldi's top 10 quarterback tiers. And what were you writing it? Is it just a piece of cardboard? Peach cardboard? Yeah. Okay. From the one of the boxes there. Okay.

There's nothing better than walking into the office and seeing the timbits can be like, yeah,

Aldi's here. It's like Omar's coming. Pretty incredible. There's there's donuts for four days.

“Donuts and did you check a bag this time of candy or was this carry on?”

No, I had my luggage carry on backpack carry on. A whole big bag of the all dressed Hickory sticks and the one bag and then as soon as I get into the airport, I go down to Timmy's. I get to the order. I don't even order a coffee. I go up and I go to the election. She says, you're back again. And I say, "Yes, Miss, how's it going?" Order two thousand donuts, 150 timbits, and there's like nine people behind me like, "What is this guy doing?"

And then I get it in the recycling bag with it's so heavy. And then I try to get on the plane ladies like, "That's, you can't have that much stuff." And I'm like, "No, it's okay. I got to get it down to the boys and yeah, I'm good to go." And she's like, "Just come in zone two and I was down to the back 40." I love that the lady at the airport, Tim Horton's nose holding. Oh yeah, and it's familiar with Aldi. Well, they probably have one watchless for smuggling

like sweets. Yes, she's like another couple of weeks back and I'm like, "Uh, maybe a month,

but yeah, I never know. A couple of weeks will see what's up." And she's like, "We'll see you soon,

dear." All right, so give it to us. Okay, I just went off the old school brain here. Coconut College, no knowledge. Baker Mayfield, got to go number one. He's my dog boxman. Okay, exactly what I'm talking about. Lamar Jackson, great runner. Three, Josh Allen for the mafia, new field. He's got to do something out there. Four Bangor, Jalen Daniels. This is his year. I mean, Jalen Daniels. For Kansas. Yeah, Jalen Daniels. Four Bangor, five Caleb. Let's go.

He also said to the Wendy city. I mean, they got to figure out that you guys got to figure out a stadium here. Yeah. You got to get something going. Six Bangor. Jalen hurts. He's still out there, grinding for Maxi. He's still out there. Nice. Drake Mayo. It's time to shine there, buddy. Enough with the moment. You got to go. Okay. Wait, wait, number straight. Drake seven Bangor. Okay. JJ McCarthy. I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, this guy's not the greatest

quarterback. I just like the Vikings. Yeah, it's cool. Yeah, it's cool. I just like the Vikings, he had him fired up at the horns going. He's good. Yeah. That press got. He's got to do it for Jerry. I mean, I don't know. Many years is Jerry kicking on this. Like this. Like we got to get back. Some. Do you guys think that if the Cowboys win the Super Bowl Jerry Jones will die? I think I think so. I think within probably a couple months. Yeah.

I'll just kind of like fade out and be like, this is this is what I was this is on for you. That's the final final. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you very much. Sign off. And then last but not least, old school legend Aaron Rogers. Okay. Just because they're running his mouth like a hot animal. You still out there. Just give it to people. So I love to see that. You're saying the people you know in this off. Yes. So so, so, so, so, so, so, so no trouble with the notable players left off.

Patch him home. So not in the top 10. That's you. Stafford not in the top 10. Justin Herbert not in the top 10. Jerry golf not in the top 10. No, don't like those guys. Okay. We don't I do those guys go off. No, those guys are all dogs. I just those. That was off my brain. It kind of felt old school because it was like, you know when the teacher tells you like, go look in the dictionary to try to explain that word. But if you don't know how to explain the

word, how can you look it up in the dictionary? So I just went off old school off my brain and that's

“what came to the. That's what came to the oven. Hang on, pack up just one second for it. So if the teacher”

says, if I look up our word in the dictionary, yeah, when did you look up the word in the dictionary? And then it would give you the explanation. Yeah, but if I'm asking how to spell the word, I got you spell the word. You got to say, I guess, go look in the dictionary. Yeah, figure it out. I might well, how do I don't even know where to start? Yeah, one out of 26 chance. Yeah. Exactly. Pick it. Pick a letter. Pick a letter. Okay. Well, oldie, great list. Thank you. If you're listening this

is here. They are attempting. So on Tuesday night, they started their attempt to get a hole in one

there's longest put ever, which is 157 yards, which is a strip. That's a par three hole. That's like a seven eight. Yeah, nine eight depending on your shoot goals. The wind is going, but so they're going till they get it. I'm almost, I'm going to guarantee that as you're listening to this, they're going to be just pull it up on bar still after dark.

intubated. Like you need to be on a treadmill. Your wheeze are long bit over that. I know I am.

Aaron Rogers was on Mac Fischo. Yep. Uh, he was, he was talking Fauci. He was roasting Fauci. He was, yes, why he is being didn't cover that. That one, I don't know why he is being would

cover that, but he was basically saying they talked so much about COVID. Now they're not talking

about Fauci. Know what stuff it's coming out now. But then he also was like, they didn't cover the receiving stuff. They're gutless cowards. And then ESPN just said we have no comment. So tough, tough look. Yeah. You got to, you got to at least try and try and stand strong. But I don't obviously, I guess I don't want to. He just showed up with Mac Fischo. Yeah, but it's very funny.

“But then ESPN just like on ESPN. Right. That's why then ESPN just being like, yeah, no comment.”

Yeah. Yeah. Tough look. I think, I think ESPN's just terrified of lawsuits and all times. But that's what they had Rogers on their air waves. Yeah. Right. How do you think Rogers could be this year? He's been good. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a believer. Well, I've been wrong. I think I'm, I mean, like, I think I'm a believer that if you were high level quarterback at any point, you can, you still like, like, to Sean Watson. I think

something would be good. Yeah. The only thing I would say about like the mobility shit. No, it's true. Like it's true. But I, I, I, I, I, I've thought, like, the last few years and to Sean Watson, like, yeah, you know, all the stuff off, off the field. But like he's, if he plays at a high level, he'd be great. It is crazy how like to Sean, like, he was a really, really good quarterback. He was probably, he was, if not tier one, like, right on that edge, like top five quarterback. And then

people found out that he got jacked off and then he sucked at playing sports. I guess weird how mentally that type of stuff will fuck up your game. And he just, yeah, yeah, Hank, I'm with you.

“I think he's somewhere deep inside. And Rogers has been terrible. Like, like, we've, you know,”

watched all of his games. And it's like, all right, it's Rogers though. He can lead this drive, like, fourth quarter, two-minute drill. It's Rogers. And it hasn't happened. But maybe Mike McCarthy brings it out of them. Yeah. I, I, I believe that, but probably not the case. We told Mike's over that he was, he was actually sick before their, their playoff loss to Houston. I don't think they were winning that game anyway. Probably not. They lost 30 to six. And he was like, I ever how he was like, I had a fever.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Oh, are you going to say it, PFT? Which one? Both the Steelers? This might be the year. You know what? They could win.

below 500. But then they went to playoff game. Hosted a playoff game. Yeah, to playoff game. And one at home. Yeah. This could be, they could win us playoff game this year. They might win one playoff game this year outside of that. No. Yeah. It feels like the Steelers had made the playoffs

a billion years of row. And they, but they haven't made the playoffs. Right. Because of how they've lost

in the playoffs. Like, that wasn't a playoff team. Yeah. Like Blasher was not. They weren't even close

“to competitive against Texas. Remember the year, I think the year before was the Ravens? Yeah. That one.”

It was a really odd thing where where Steelers fans would be like, you'd finish the season. You would make the playoffs. And then Steelers fans would dread that week leading into the playoff game. Yeah. Because they're like, yeah, this is going to suck. We're not a playoff team. Okay. Cool. Turn on. My cool throw is John Ram. Oh, why? Oh, that's interesting. Monday, Q info, who's great. Great fall in Twitter, legitimate source. He's an insider. He put a tweet saying,

multiple people I spoke with, including players. Live golf could still be owed in like some

players could be owed up to 250 million combined from contracts they signed. The biggest portion

of the lump sum is John Ram, who is allegedly sold as much as 150 mil. Yeah. But that's not a cool throw. Wait. Oh, he's like a foregone conclusion at Liverpool five for bankruptcy, so almost no chance, Ram and others. Oh, we'll get all the money. It could be converted into equity if they find investors for live 2.0 and the players decide to stay. So John Ram went from being a player in a league, just getting paid a salary to he, he might own like 60% of live 2.0. And owner of

a league that is bankrupt and is not viable. Curl like equity in that is worth zero. Wasn't noble. Wasn't like the whole Dodgers TV thing because of bankruptcy. No, now. Yeah, very. I don't know. Am I wrong? No, because I read. I read about it. I read about it. I read about that so many times that it's just easier to be like the Dodgers are cheating and it's not fair. But like if you're like, if you get in at the ground floor and you have a big thing, but they would have to be,

it would have to continue and flourish. Yeah. I mean, money. Hey, Cadillac, look at where you've come from. You're on your high horse, like partial people didn't believe in partial. Like you, you know, you people thought you were crazy for leaving your job in the like, all right, I got a little equity in this upstar company. Now look at you. That's a great point. That could be John Roy. John Robbins five years. That's right. That's right. That's really good. You're right. You're so

right. So like, John Robbins going to buy it back from. Oh, he's just going to get it. You get all the money. Yeah. Yeah. What if they sold it to John Robbins for a dollar? They had that he'd be in a great spot. So you're saying, you think John Robbins will take the equity in live versus trying to actually

“make money and play on the PGA tour. Yeah. It's 150 mil. That's not 150 mil. That's what he's”

doing. Yeah. So he's getting that in percentage, which could be way more than 100 mil. It could write 150 billiards. Right. Right. All they need is like some super rich investor with unlimited money from the Middle East to invest in them. I can do it from anywhere. Yeah. I do that. Don't just relax. I'm a think like that's a limited mindset. You've got. Yeah. And John Robbins. Yeah, people look at that story like it's a bad thing. Yeah. Right. But like it's not it's not right. The

fact that they don't have the right opportunity. Like they don't have any investors is actually a great thing for the golfers on the tour because imagine what if they did get an investor. Right. Like like I'll not believe in live when they fail with an unlimited bankroll. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Like that's still that happens. I'm going to believe in that. Yeah. If they find themselves somehow hypothetically, if they find like the one investor or our public fund, that would be willing to

spend whatever it took to prop up live as a golf league. I don't even know if that person exists out there. But if they were to find that one person who ever might be, then this thing,

I'm sure it would be a massive success. But we will, I guess we'll never know until we find

some public investment fund that would be willing to throw like, I don't know, hundreds of millions of dollars. I was like five billion. Yeah. Some like that. What can I, can I throw out a hypothetically? Sure. Let's say, okay, which would you rather have? The live golf tour gets an investor. Absolutely crushes it. Flourishes. Last for the next hundred years. I don't know what you could say that's going to make me take option two. Well, I'm trying to think

“what would be fair because I like I think you would take patriots who rule over that.”

Yep. Bruins them the cup victory. You're such a- I would take Bruins. I would take

I have no, if I had if I had invested interest. I bought this. The live exists. It exists for another

“hundred years or you get down to an eight handicap. I mean, I'll get down to eight handicap.”

Is if I don't take live, do I never get down to an eight handicap? You're capped exactly where

you're never get better. Well, that's there's no point. Well, no, I mean, the the the fun of golf is trying to progress, you know, the numbers are you. I still try, but you'll never get better. Yeah, that sounds awful. Yeah. The fun of golf is I might not be getting better, but like I in my mind right now, I'm like I'm gonna be. What about live lives for a hundred years? Uh, I can or I can snap my fingers and you're scratched tomorrow. Scratch tomorrow. Okay. Yeah, yeah.

But you love live. But you love live. Live 2.0 is what type of live you believe. Yeah. Yeah. What is live 2.0? It's louder. Yeah. Golf, but louder, but louder, but even louder. Yeah. There's none more loud. There's more speakers. There's more speakers. Oh, yeah. There's just it's so loud.

What what Max? I just, it's it's never. I know you don't care about live. I want to play Max.

Oh, don't care Max. Here's what's insane. How little I care about it. Here's why I care so deeply about live is because it's such a ridiculous league that that that's somehow managed to to weasel their way into the national discourse. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's an order to score. No, Max. Max, any time, if you can sign away John Rom, Bryce and Deshambo, I got news for everybody. Brooks Capcut. Brooks Capcut. They became a storyline and golf like it or not. That was that was the old live. And it's very funny that with all the

money in the world, how many dead dinosaurs probably probably millions, maybe even billions of dinosaurs had to die back in the day to generate enough oil to give the Saudi government enough money.

“That's what creates oil. Yeah, probably billions of dead dinosaurs, billions of dead dinosaurs”

there last week is where I hope that you can sign camps campsmith dinosaur. Use my body. Yeah. Go out there and sign and recruit the impulse. You're all everything that you want in life is based on a triceratops that died hundreds of thousands of years ago. Deep below the probably it's cross, probably hundreds of millions of millions. Yeah, whatever, dinosaurs, no one knows. Yeah, I know there's like there's there was like six extensions. Oh, yeah,

I watched an Netflix show as too much too much AI, but I took my kids to the field. It was like a

whole there was there was a hundred million years. Yeah, yeah, it was like, wait, I thought there was just one big one.

And T-Rex lived way closer to us than it did to the staggy source. Yeah. I think I told you guys, you can go smell the the breath of the T-Rex soon. Wow. Yeah, it smells terrible awful. We told three point. Oh, three point. Oh, my god. I mean, dude, Steve Jobs. What happened? What happened? What happened? But we're screwing it all today. What happened with Apple? He died. Was that successful first? No. To get kicked out of his company. Yes. Did he come back again?

And it was the strongest company in the world. Yes. Yes. Is he's way smarter than? That's the old regime. Is he way smarter than a league that said, hey, we'll play less golf, but we'll do it in shorts. Also, yes. But it's all about to come back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think Greg Norman's Timbiz phone. What do you think, Max? I'm not I'm over it. All right. I'm the hot sea culture.

“I hope you have to. I never wanted to know. No, this is good. I need to go forever. This is a great combo.”

What Max? I hope you just say something with the wizard to start the house. I mean, I could dig deep if you wanted me to. Well, we have to hit the quota. Oh, go. Just do a regular hot sea. Tell all these Googling now. I mean, we might extend Anthony Davis. All right, hot sea. The wizard's might extend Anthony Davis. That's that's my that's my wizard's conversation. No, my hot seat is is the substation. And the the 49ers Mike Evans. He hurt his quad and I have no idea if it's a series injury. I hope it's not.

But the 49ers social media staff has found themselves in quite the predicament, which is their paid based on engagement and the numbers that they generate. And then you sell sponsorships, obviously, for the team based on what the social media accounts do. And they know that any time they have a training camp video that has the substation in the background, that thing is going to do numbers online. However, it's going to be a discussion of your team continues to hurt your own players with this.

Like, they're not posting about the substation. Yeah, but they are. But it's going to be featured because they know

Yeah, that it's going to be good for the numbies. I don't know if Mike Evans is seriously hurt. If this is more of a precaution, but it's definitely going to be like a confirmation bias anytime somebody gets hurt. Yeah, for the Niners all season. Yeah. It's just going to be it's going to be a substation. 100%. There's also a substation Twitter account now that has like I saw that a thousand. It's ominous. It's ominous. And it's it's directly threatening players. Correct. It told kiddo like just way. Yeah, I don't like that.

I got my own. I'm going to report that. Yeah. Band that guy or community note it. Then my cool throne is carry under wood. She's back and there's a new anthem this year for Sunday night football.

Okay. Yeah. That's like bullshit. Yeah, I'm on hand. That's it. They're going to that's going to that's going to get

changed into. Yes. People are going to. They've done this before. What do you mean?

“Waiting waiting all day for Sunday night. That's how every Sunday night's the start. Right.”

Agreed. So I don't know if it's you know what? I haven't thought about that. This might be a hot seat for NBC then. Yeah, because I just I just assumed that it was going to be a new version in that like they come up with a different phrase to rhyme with like Chris is the best on TV. You know, like they do it on a weekly basis. I imagine that she goes in the studio like once a month and records what are going to be the intro lines for that weekend.

But with that count as a full new anthem, I don't think that it does. I don't know why we have to do some research. We have to do some math research because like research they they should not change the the Sunday night anthem is perfect as it is. Yeah. A brand new version of the iconic anthem is on its way. I don't like to sound of that. That sounds you said cool throne. Yeah, but then I changed it after because I I assumed it was like what they do every year. We have a week. This makes it sound like they're actually going to

check it out and I'll fuck this up the entire thing. No, and I'm not I'm not down. I've got my eye on it. Yeah. Okay. My hot seat is Hank because we have a new fart of the year. So people are talking about his fart of the year. What? That would be cool throne. Well, no, because everyone's bringing up your fart of the year now in relation to this last year. Yeah, right. But there's a horrific fart attack that sent movie goers running out of the theater in the middle of the new spider man.

It is ridiculous. What? There's only like what? How many people could actually be affected by a fart? If it was really bad if Dean won viewer 20 to ruin a whole segment of like four rows behind like he shit in a movie theater. Yeah. No, he shit. That's that's smells not getting all the way back. But he shit. There's probably 15 people that are even within range of that fart. But we could have

would have somebody threw up. Yeah. It's growing up a poop that that's a stronger scent that travels and sticks. I'm saying like if the fart's bad that somebody in the local area pukes. Yeah. And then that pukes make somebody else pukes. And then before you know the entire theater's pukes can fit in the guy. But yeah. Well, just stand by me. Yeah.

“You never see it. I think I watched what I watched in school. Wait, wait, wait. I haven't seen stand by.”

I have. I watched in school. You know, family guy was the scene was just stand by. No, that part I again, like I I want to stay by me in like high school in the past. Hey. And it was bored. You didn't like any of the acting? Nah. The the the the the uh the four court felonin. Oh, the other court. No, hey, Kiki. It's a great movie. Yeah. What did get 89% of rotten tomatoes. 94%

popcorn meter. Isn't it like a anniversary that movie or something? I've never seen another.

Well, you were a hater. Yeah. Hi. I've never seen. Max Goosey came out like nation 74. It came out in 1986, but it's a class movie. You would like like we like it's actually funny that we're like like we joke about Jerry like he was in an awesome awesome. No, yeah. They taught in school. They taught in school. I that's where I watch it. We

“watch it in class. If you ever see a dead body. Yeah. So wait. Where do they teach you about the movie?”

Tony pie? No, it was like it was like an elective class. I had not it was honestly a great class. We just sat in watch movies. Like we watch like the godfather and and stay by me. Some of the old like black and white movies, Hitchcock movies and my teacher would just break him down of why it was like a classic movie. That actually sounds like an awesome. It was a great class. Yeah. It was a great great senior elective class. I'll walk on the train tracks. Also hot seat is memes because on Sunday show, he said that we need

another earthquake. And then California's top earthquake expert. This is like when we're in a simulation

He said California's top earthquake expert issues chilling new warning on the big one. It could be tomorrow.

“Hmm. Good song. I mean memes. Yeah. Yeah. When you're on your eye. I probably should have said”

for my preamp to take that the jets are going to break their playoff drought. But I might just be god. So you could be. Could be. It means might be god. Yeah. Whatever I say happens is going to happen. Yeah. So what what are you calling for next episode? He check. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Okay. I apologize to the people. I like. Okay. And then my

cool throne is the bears because this actually just happened a second ago. But Darno right signs.

And this is weird phrasing by in rap port. Would you guys agree? The bears in all pro offensive tackle Darno right if agreed to terms on a fat new deal to make him one of NFL's highest paid per me in J. J. Fowler ESPN. That's weird. Sounds like he's talking about a butt. Yeah. Fat new deal. Also cool throne because Kobe Bryant is only out for 8 to 10 weeks, which we any had a great

“it's a miracle. Yeah. Any had a great point on wake up Arsenal today, which I think we need to”

enact everywhere because everyone has gone through this as football fans. The training camp injury when you're not watching because you there's no cameras and you see instantly cards coming out player throws his helmet, players emotional teammates are going up to the cart. All those bad ominous tweets. Eddie said that every single injury, no winner, how big or how small in training camp, card should come out. Because then when you get the news like I thought Kobe Bryant was out

for the year. I thought he was going to not play for the bears for like 15 months. I was like this fucking sucks is our big office offseason signing. And then it comes back that it's 8 to 10 weeks. I'm like that's a miracle like we're good. So I think we need to just set the expectation that every injury is the worst possible and then you get the good news and it's a great relief. I would I would go a step further and say that every player entering or exiting the practice field

regardless of injury. Everyone's got their own card. Yeah. So nobody walks back. There is nothing worse though than seeing the tweet x player throws his helmet in like disgusting injury. That's the one I look. Yeah. Like the Teddy Bridge boy. Where are you going to say? I want to go one step further and they should stop saying weeks and just saying what week of the NFL season. I agree. Because 8 to 10 weeks meet right now is fun.

But I can't put that math together of what that actually meet. Like it's probably five. Yeah weeks

“weeks three to five return is what you need to hear because that sounds like nothing. Yeah 8 to 10”

sounds like a lot. But then there's there's more weeks before the regular season starts. The thing is if this happened during the season, we would be like this is the worst injury ever. Oh my god, what a terrible injury. We need a chart. The fact that it happened at the start of training camp we're like I just everyone's nicked up this time. Yeah, what we need Max is we just need a chart where it's like so it's it's the reverse where it's like now if the if you get injured,

you can go to the chart and be like all right here's when you come back. So like when we get to week

14 it basically says anything over 4 to 6 weeks you're out. Yeah, you're fucked. Because like the

clock just keeps ticking down. Because yeah you're right. You do you do the math in your head and you're like oh shit. But yeah, this is early enough in August. I thought it was like when the cart comes out and it's just like this is fucking 10 weeks is bad 10 weeks is bad. But that's the thing. It's like as first. Yeah, we're basically still in July. Right. Yeah, almost June. Yeah. Okay, Zack finished soft before we get to our Mount Rushmore. My hotsie this week is in me Clay Thompson.

So here recently Kevin Durant was responding to a post kind of comparing the two super teams golden state and the sixers. Kevin Durant goes on to say it didn't even close. Joelle in the P. Jalen Brown recent finals in the P. Tyreys Maxie. Also our last three years. We all know

what brand does Clay Thompson never in MVP candidate and nothing. Oh Clay Clapback, you good man.

Why use my full government? Clay Thompson does not want the Twitter or Instagram smoke with Kevin Durant. Why would you take an online battle, Katie? He will go to the depths of hell to win such a battle. That you're not wrong on that. He's got the time. He has the time and the accounts. He's got the numbers. Yeah. I'll never MVP and anything. It's kind of mean. That is really mean. Is that true? He had to be MVP and something. Yeah. Maybe high school, little

leak. Oh, it definitely was. He was a good baseball player too. Yeah, that seems like a really

use felt kind of personal to him. It would be safe if we saw these two guys surrounds. I mean,

also, that's kind of a weird argument for Kevin Durant to be like, I don't see how the warriors were better at all. How about the fact that that team won 73 games? Wouldn't that be why they were better? Also, and then you added Kevin Durant in a weird way is that him trying to hide behind him without him saying it out loud that I kind of went to a super team, but look what the brawn did, but he knows he can't say that. Yeah. Yeah. He was, he did a perfect, we talked about

something. It's quote, he was perfect with what he said, where he didn't really dissimede just said, yeah, of course, they're their championship like a boss, but man, this might have been, this might have been meant for the burner. Oh, this was central. All of this? Do we get central? No. No.

Oh, yeah. I don't think so. I don't know. Max just pulled up, maybe a central and ball back.

“The other one. All right. That's, so that's what he pulled up his dream on greens Instagram,”

which is fake. Okay. So Max needs to go to the post of that. So he did do it. Clay Thompson put that on Instagram, sorry, 100%. But did KD say it? Yes. Where? Yes. No. Wait. Why the fuck? Yeah. Okay. I think KD did it. Why the central can't be doing real stuff. Yeah. I agree. They're doing the fake, the fake stuff is the Dreyman ball sack. We also, I think the, I think the dream stuff is also. Ball sack right there. We should report posted it.

Yeah. And complex also said that the Dreyman is real. The Dreyman, yeah, was on threads. Okay. Why is ball sack and the central real? That's illegal. That's illegal. So Dreyman did, Dreyman said that he thought the KD was on the burner. Was supposed to be on the burner. I think all, like, all real. I think. Okay. New York post posted about it. It's real. Okay. It's real. It is real. All right. But yeah. Ball sack and central can't be posting real stuff

money in the water. No. You can't do that. You absolutely cannot do that. There's switching back

“and forth. It's not good. Also, why is Clay Thompson getting upset on full government name?”

He called him Clay Thompson. Yeah. That's probably just super valuable on the enter. Yeah. Just banter. Or maybe he just wanted to set a tone of like, hey, I didn't even know it doesn't make sense for me to feel upset about it. I'm gonna let you know. I feel a type of way and we can get into whatever. You know what? I kind of agree with Clay. Like, if you're Kevin Durant, you know I'm good enough. You just say Clay. You leave it at that. True. Okay. Good. Good hot seat.

Then my cool throw in this week is going to be Cleveland fans. Cleveland fans may have missed out on the brawn, but they did acquire an entire new team here shortly. Yeah. WMB expansion. The rockers, the sirens. Oh, shit. Where's the multiple sirens? Yeah. I'm thinking it's plural because it's not like a fire truck. It's more like the mermaid that convinces you that you're in love and then you end up killing yourself. God. You know that thing's got to be gripping. Yeah,

true could be if you're like fucking, I'm just gonna run into this giant rock, but it'll be in 208. So a little bit early entrance there, but also we should all say the whole show is on the hot seat. If we ever have Jonah Hill on the show because you get to annihilate all of us, that was quite a clip. Just the most I didn't play a single sport and I just found something when I'm mid 40s and someone told me I'm good at it. Energy. Ever. It seemed like he just started doing it. I also,

when I saw it, I think he was, I think he was Joe. I think he was joking, but then he went, yeah, I think he's joking, but also I think he might, because there is that guy who like starts

“like karate like late in life is like I could fuck you up. He's joking, but I don't think he would”

be joking about it like that if he didn't kind of believe it to. Yeah. So don't call him the fact guy from Super Badge. I would fuck him up personally. I think I'd fuck him up. Yeah, I'd fuck up Jonah Hill. How was? Shout out to, like I said, my initial takeaway was shout out this Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor, great job convincing Jonah Hill. He could annihilate other men. I'm sure he Jonah Hill probably paid for personal ret lessons, probably a lot of money

and oh my god he was the fastest black belt of all time. Yeah, I think if you're, if you're like Jiu-Jitsu instructor, your goal is to really inflate the ego of whoever you're training with,

let them beat you, like first you kicked their ass on lesson one and then maybe lesson seven or eight,

you're like, all right, you're scaring me now. Oh my god, you're so strong. And then by lesson 12, you're like, okay, I trust you to go to the slums of Rio on your own. Yes. And you were essentially like a walking Superman. Yeah, go on a podcast and say you could annihilate any man. Although you did clarify not anyone heavier than him or bigger than him. He's like five seven. Okay. So, so that was a

that is not stronger than me or equal strength of me or even half the strength of you. Any man who's less than half the strength of me, I can annihilate. And the point of Jiu-Jitsu is like

“you're supposed to be on a swimming, but you can your lethal. Yeah, that's correct, Hank. I think”

most badasses in life don't go around saying they could annihilate other men. They just do it. True. Yeah. I would beat the fuck out of anybody 10 years or younger. 10-year-old? 10-year-old. Yeah. Any 10-year-old in the world? I still think I think there's a 10-year-old out there that would fuck us up. There's definitely like a 10-year-old that's yeah. Yeah. It was got like abs and shit. He's wrestling bears and Russia. Yeah. Yeah, I thought about a beat. The kids

got about to be in American and jewelry. Yeah, you forgot about that. If they're trying to like escape me on a jungle gym then yeah, but I'm saying like in the dojo. 10-year-old could be would've fucked you up. No, I think they would've wrestled you to the ground. He was probably like five foot one. He probably weighed 270 pounds. But it doesn't matter that wrestling is different. Yeah. He was wrestling bears though. He was wrestling bears. Yep. Yep. That's a fact.

There's a probably taking an easy on him. Why did you search UFC airport? Me made a good point. What? You're like people who could fight don't say. Yeah. I fuck you up. Doesn't pour your aid. He told this guy. He was going to fuck him. Oh, he was also a hammered. I think.

“He still said it. Yeah, that's true. I think he also, he's a professional. I think legally you have to”

tell somebody. Yeah, he probably was giving him a warning. Like hey, you take a more sad dude. And it's going to be a nightmare for you. And then legally you can't get sued or arrested at that point. I would take anyone with cauliflower here over Jonah Hill. Let's say that. Yeah, let's fair. Okay. Let's do our Mount Rushmore brought to you by our friends at Reese's. I have the four pack right here. There's something for everyone when it comes to Reese's. Reese's is the

one one pick. Thank you. Some right now. Reese's is the one one pick of candy. If we did a Mount

Rushmore candy, it'd be Reese's. Guess what? It would probably go all Reese's across the first

round because they have everything. The Reese's sticks. The Reese's with Oreo. The Reese's peanut butter cups with marshmallow. They are the Spanish national team of candy. They are the Carolina Hurricanes of candy. They are the who won the NBA title. The San Antonio spurs of candy. No, they're the New York next. There you go, memes of candy. Reese's is the best candy. In the world, we love it. We have the Reese's lounge upstairs. The animal crackers with Reese's. I'm just

going to put everyone if you haven't been on to it. You got to get on to it. Also, the pretzels, they're all, they're all the best because Reese's only does the best. Reese's the official candy partner of bar stool sports. Go get Reese's wherever you shop. Okay, boys, Mount Rushmore of best places or I guess you don't best is redundant. Mount Rushmore of places to get drunk that are not a bar. Love this one. Great topic. Great topic. Deep topic. Deep topic. A lot of good

picks up. So this is one of the ones where I'm just calling it ahead of time. The, the undrafted free agents are going to put together. Hell. Oh, yeah, people we pissed. So right now, it's memes

max of myself. 39 points. PFT 29 points. Hank and Zach 28 points. They came in second. Anyone's

anyone's ear. Anyone's ear. Anyone's ear. And Hank, you are not going to be here Friday. Are you comfortable with Zach going solo? Delo. Extremely. So will you even text with him? Yeah, I told him. I told him to text me topic. I'll send him like options, but I will let him do whatever he wants

“in terms of choosing. When this team's not in person, we go virtual. Is that how are you feeling?”

Are you feeling comfortable with it? Or do you want like some, do you want hands on advice from Hank? Hopefully, I can do good by right by the team, you know? Okay. Maybe you're just a star. Like, do you want the, maybe Hank is is is holding you down. No, we're a great team. I think we're, we had a great showing last week. I think we're going to continue the best we can do. Do you want the ball in your hand or do you want Hank? Like, maybe taking the last shot.

Are you going to be consulting with him up to the last second? I'm typically a past first guy. So there is some stress going into Friday. But all right, because three years ago, when Hank and Max were on a team, Hank left for a week for vacation and Max was ripped off. I think three straight wins. That could be that. That's three straight wins. Yeah. I mean, it was a good moment. Then I left the week after. I think it was three straight.

Pretty big. We got it. It was also, I think I believe that way to payers about last year in the past. You guys are living in the past. That also might have been better living in the past. With Max found the meatball system three years. I didn't, you were the one who started to question it.

I was just answering your card. The meatball system was revolutionary. It changed again.

It was basically like Billy Bean in the Oakland A's. Yeah. Max realized you could pick meatballs for any draft.

PFT's going first. Max memes and I are going second and then Hank and Zach are going third.

We somehow are two months into Mount Rushmore. We still fuck up the order because Hank walked in and he said, "I have first pit. We have first pick, right?" And I said, "No, you have third." He said, "Fuck." Yeah, it still doesn't get it. Okay. One one. I'm going to go with wedding. Okay Wait wait wait wait what are we saying wait about memes? What are we saying wait? No pfts first pick. Yeah. Yeah

Oh, yeah, we have second. Yeah, yeah, we're Hank saying that's Bob You just fucked me up so we fucked up the fuck we were talking story about fucking up and then you almost fucked us up You saying that made me think that we were fucking out, but we didn't fuck up. Okay

We're second. All right wedding first pick. He's also like the easy one one. I like that you set the tone of like

Traditional bar because technically there are balls. Yeah, no, we're not I want to get into that with that we were just because you got a drink from a temporary bar

“It's not mean that it's a bar. I think it's not a ball. Yeah, that would be a good mount Rushmore 2 like Mount Rushmore”

Places to sneak booze into yeah Like places that definitively do not have bars. Yeah, like like Zack has a water bottle at his desk that is filled with booze Every day People don't know that about work one. It's like Marie's chloride. He's got to get his goose on cordial Court would be a good one. All right, we have our one. Oh, a portrait click would actually be a place to get

Actually, yeah, most of those. I'm drunk right now. Oh, okay. We have our one one

Tail getting tail getting okay. There's just nothing better than like a being outside getting the big vibes game You wake up early. You get you get to the stadium as quickly as possible It's a big game feel your show it and your show excited to get into the stadium for the big game And you're just got all your friends together just as like a little foldable Table there you got that one friend who's just just killing the grill for you. Uh, maybe breakfast burritos into steak tips

It's the best Football tail getting back it's a bad. You might need a hot guy and then you invite him into the office Then you do a competition to confirm that he's a hot guy. That kind of tail getting You know norm yeah guys stuff guys Okay, that was our one one as well. Good pick

“I will be oh, what do you hear Zach? Oh, what do you say? He said how's that fall?”

That's great value at two. Yeah, we liked it. It's too. We were taking it one saying we liked it It's you I will go with I was not gonna take this one one even though it is my one one the golf course Yep, okay. Yeah, nothing better. I mean I got back to as as fun as it is to golf Most of the fun is just being out there with your boys having a good time. You get to you know

Have some drinks turn the round and you get to hang out eat after some the patio Turn out turn up four hour round and then like a nine hour day There's there's no better day in my opinion. I would say that I'd rather get drunk at a golf course in a bar Yeah, I would say that like getting drunk on the course I'd like to get buzzed on the course and then get drunk after yeah, yeah, yeah

Okay, good pick Zach eating four or two You guys take as much time. I don't like I don't hit 13. Oh, oh, I mean I'm going to go Yeah, I'm the big less. I have no problem with you guys talking it out. All right. Yeah, we can do that. Yeah, I'm in We're gonna go sporting event. Okay. Yep, okay any specifics are just all sporting events Well, if you don't you go set. Yeah, yeah, it's just a wash form of our pick. That's fine. Yeah

Just any sporting event any sporting event you've soccer game Go yeah, golf golf tournament. Yeah, yeah, yeah We're great literally the world series. Well, Max. Well. What was your what? How would you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a strong point Well, we were we had we had baseball. We just had base we just had specific but then that would be In the yeah, just because we were like the the best the best summer

Yeah summer outdoors baseball. What about fall football game college football game is pretty yeah Yeah, what about NBA finals game Same I want to do now. We have everything we have our whole board. I think we just think about those two picks. All right There's three picks off your board Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's big board. It's a big board. You've got a big fucking board dude. I think we say we're nine all right

“That's what we were gonna three. Yeah, all right. We'll go back yard barbecue”

Just great vibes. Okay great time whether you whether it's you know fourth of July, Memorial Day or just getting your buddies together

I'll leave great vibes out there great vibes get someone on the ox they put on supply. I'm supply. Come on now. Come on now sounds terrible. I'm gonna go with

On a boat Okay, yeah, we had it on on a boat and then I'm gonna give it a one-two punch boat followed by concert Okay, add a concert you're a drug guy. I'm not a drug guy you you enjoy. I enjoy some drugs

“I enjoy all the good drugs and none of the bad drugs, but add a concert. Yeah, you have to have some booze add a concert early”

I enjoy having some booze add a concert. I think most people out there do too You get you double fist it you stand you get the like two thirty two ounce beers and you're good to go for the entire night Okay, we're gonna take with our next picks the beach. Yeah, good pick love getting drunk at the beach There's that the the beach all day drunk and then like going back inside and being like oh fuck

I'm drunk that was fun. I'm taking a shower and like re energizing yourself. It's great feeling again

So many great games you can play on the beach. I don't know how I just jump in Spite Paul. He likes spike a little can jam. Hey. Oh, yeah, I'll be doing that this week. Yeah, you know it Fuck yeah You're gonna be on a golf course this week. I will not be on a golf course this week. Yeah, I know I mean It is what it is. I'll be on a beach instead tough

Zach it's a good draft boys. I feel my father's good draft We got what about their keen We took their two ninety. Oh, yeah. Yep. You're right. I was four and two or four and two just picked

Two is just picked. I don't hate five and four, but they're kind of redundant

“I'm gonna go we'll do five Zach and then I think I think you just oh we're going off two different five and four's my bad”

Oh no, you guys don't even have your oh no. Well, you got you got the big list or the little list Or maybe the even the in between list you think it five and four up top wait your five and four is the opposite of here Let's go to up top. Let's go to let's go to two on the bottom. I'll see you have two picks You could just do both of those you can we just do a stupid we take a time out real quick You would be crushing us right now for this

Every time we'd say numbers you get that you guys don't even have the same numbers these are two numbers You guys going three numbers the equation. Oh, we've got a very list. What about two and eight on the ball You don't even have the same list. I think I do something. I'm in on that. I think they're doing this on purpose I don't think so. Yeah. Look at Hank. Yeah, he's now. He's pretending to do it on purpose We're gonna go. I number my list too. And I have these internal debates in my head

“You should talk about I do talk about and they're not in the weird thing about my list right now”

My list right now goes seven ten three And zero. I have a zero. I have a number zero. We actually went into this. We were like let's actually let's actually number these out in order So hey, I'm not in bad final. No, but then we were like we can't do we got to see we got to see where the board plays out. Yeah It's all about it's thought you got to you got to go with the flow the draft

We are gonna go House party. Okay. Yeah, pick pick. I had it have it You think an eight on the bottom? I think I think so eight or nine I don't even know what nine is What got to be nine. That's got to be eight. I would do it. Oh, you got to do nine. We're gonna do nine. No. I'm gonna go with casino

Gamble response. That's actually Gamble response Arabic that's like the word the most. That's a terrible pick gambling and alcohol don't mix Gamble response you made it you may just have to lose your pick for that pick Do we go in nine? No, you know that that's a horrendous pick. What happened with nine is yours blank The casino that's the that's the number one thing that casino once you

Yeah, I didn't say is the correct choice. I said if choice feels right, you know I just got to speak if I speak. I'm in big trouble. Yeah, right? I just not to speak as well. There is a chance if you're already spoke We may just have to redact that pick No, you can get drunk at a casino You're lucky a drunk at a. You didn't say anything about gambling. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I personally

I love getting drunk at a casino and not gambling. Yeah, that's one of my favorite things That's the smartest way to do it. It's actually it's like you may have to put that off. No. Shut the fuck up It's like it's like getting drunk in an airport. It's pretty much the same thing. It's so much fun Should we go with with what we were saying yeah, far for you know what you know what actually is really fun to get drunk at Hank, you may have a little bit of experience with this. We're gonna go with the championship parade championship parade very fun

Very peck great peck. Yeah, very fun to talk to you in the past day of my life I actually

I wish I had been a real life Minus the the Chan part house, Mizzoula doing he's doing good. Yeah, what movie were watching? It was like it was like Star Wars, but it wasn't Like it wasn't Star Wars. Oh, okay, who's like a new Star Wars Star Wars. Star Wars took place in Boston Then they they rob banks instead of flying X-Words. It was the Star Wars, but it wasn't Star Wars

“Put it look like Star like I think Darth Vader was in it. Yeah, he had spin off. Yeah, who's Millenium Falcon we taking? Hmm. Okay. All right last pick PFT. All right last one”

A lot of good picks. A lot of good picks still on the board right here Let me go with on a plane I'm drinking on a plane fun times. I do not enjoy drinking on a plane. I do Okay, that's a beauty of Mount Rushmore. Yeah, drinking on a plane. They made us talking about it so good Yeah anyone thoughts

You guys drink on a plane? I just sleep on a plane. If you're on your way to a vacation and you get on a plane going there And you got nothing else to do for the rest of that day you get on the plane

Let's just say it's 9 a.m. They bring by the champagne or the first cart person comes by and you say yeah, you know what I know it's 9 a.m

I'll have a beer. Fuck it. That beer turns into two beers that hits you at an altitude so you get drunk faster You have a great time. You're so excited about the vacation by the time you land. You feel like shit. You hit the note

“That's why I don't know no way you hit the ground running to start your vacation when I and you're having the best time ever than you have to drive”

When I get off the board and I'm drunk. I'm like fuck. Why did I do that? Because I now feel a little hungover a little Jet lag and then I got to get in it over and like shit The best is it's on the way to the vacation and it makes the start of your trip that much better. It's the mine I like getting so many better The entire plane is so at the airport. You're not a plane. That's a bar

Yeah, I had airport two airport airport to bar airport. No, I've counted no Airport doesn't count no. Okay, unless you are like going to duty free in the airport bar. Yeah, so I took I took airplane instead of airport I also had at the end At a movie getting drunk while you watch a movie's fun Well, there's a audible mention. No, I don't like getting drunk. You don't like it

You don't like having beers while you're watching a movie. I don't. Oh, it's focused on the movie Like soda if we should do things Thanksgiving would have been a better pick than casino Would have been a better pick. Yeah, probably would have I mean there's a lot of picks that are still what was the thing that lake house Zach was that guy? What is plane? What he thought he said oh my god, oh my god Zach spelled it PL A I N

I was reading out my what the fuck is I got you like a coastal plate. I didn't know what I like I read the word a plane But I didn't realize I meant That's equally bad for Zach and for That's bad for Zach. That's bad for Zach for Hank reading the word plane and not understanding I don't think I would not know Like playing yeah, it's spelled

Yeah, plain

“He just put a plane. I have a stamp when you have to play he just took point”

No, he took No, he took plane no because a plane it's a it's a it's a it's a flat end. It's a flat He's a man like the mid west. Yeah, yeah, you you're talking about a cornfield in the house

Yeah I would have allowed that. He also said resort, but I feel like those are they're Yeah, yeah Plane limo. Yeah, I'd party party party

I made a critical error yesterday. I texted Jeff Passen on a trade deadline day like six hours before the trade deadline

Being like hey, man, can you come on the show tomorrow and then I got no response and then like eight hours later I said hey that was a really dumb text to send you right before trade deadline

“So I apologize for that. It was chaotic. Was it not were you just it was it insane for you all day?”

I love getting inappropriate text on trade deadline day Yeah, because it because it definitely makes me think wow, what a self-important dipshian Like like who hasn't thought of what I like be doing right now and the fact that Like of all the days of the year dead like it was it was an impressive lack of feel

And that's the thing you have you have always come off to me as somebody who has an exceptional amount of feel

Like it feel I don't know is feel like a word in in other sports because it's a big baseball word

You just got like feel of a situation at social awareness essentially and and that it took you eight hours to realize what a dumb ass

You were that's my favorite part of the whole thing. Oh, I knew right away. No, no, no, I knew right away I expected I expected you to have the feel to be like yeah Let's talk tomorrow, but you just don't ghost to me. So then I completely get to see you Did I lack feel there? By not responding. Yeah, like a quick just like yeah

Let's talk tomorrow would have been great just so I knew that you saw it But that's that you listen. I admit I should have texted you on like Saturday and been like hey We'd love to have you on Tuesday, but either way It was a great trade deadline. It was crazy crazy. You got I feel like

“Starting Saturday night with Terry Scooble all the way up until the deadline. Was it 41 trades or something?”

It was I thought I believe it was 42 on deadline day alone. Okay, so

Starting Monday morning. I think with Louis Sarais was the first one. Yeah, 42 trades at base fellas

I don't I don't think the NFL's trade deadline day is is anything like this? No Every year we say it's going to be big and then nothing happened. No. Yeah. Yeah, the NBA is usually has like at least a few big moves But but to me like Baseball has the best trade deadline by a mile even even if it's like a bunch of jobbers who are going back and forth Like that's the thing people get so excited on trade deadline day about getting a middle reliever

Yes, when do when when do we ever get excited in life about middle relievers on trade deadline day It's like wow that guy could be the difference between us going to the world series and not and you start to He starts to convince yourself of things and it's it's the beauty of it. You're 100% right because Outside of a couple starting pitching that the cops got the relievers. They got like I got pumped for guys

I've just never seen play baseball. I'm like fuck and you this guy's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be so high

Ryan's effort John is going to be in front actually actually you know what that was that was a good pickup Yeah, I thought the cubs. I thought the cubs had an awesome day. I did and and I it just like to me It goes back to this I understand the Dodgers we're going to talk about them. I'm sure the Dodgers are in like their own category But if you go and look at the rest of baseball right now especially the American League

It is so winnable and it is so there to be taken and so the fact that the red socks went and Like comically overpaid for Adley Rajman. I don't care. They're going for it I appreciate that then that you know

“We we have been conditioned as sports fans and I think especially as baseball fans”

But you've seen this in the NBA too with the the whole idea of the the process We've been conditioned to accept that now is not as important as the future and I hate that I hate that as a sports fan. I want executives and owners to treat this year like it's the last year That's going to be played. I want them to have Reckless a band and trying to go for a championship right now not because I have like a short attention span or because

I have an inability to have delayed gratification. It's because Can we just acknowledge we don't know what the future's going to look like? We don't know when our franchise player is going to suffer a catastrophic injury or get arrested or Get divorced and have a terrible year because his mind's that we we can't predict any of these things So why wouldn't we throw all of our resources at what we've got right now and

“Try and steal a championship because that ultimately that's what this is all for right? I get it”

And you said it perfectly. We don't know if next year's going to exist at all in baseball That's maybe kind of true Like are we going to have a sport next year? Nobody really knows what that's going to look like this time in in 12 months But like big picture stuff. How did that? How did the impending lock out and the the future CBA? How did that impact if at all this trade deadline?

It's certainly impacted it. I remember Probably 48 hours ago having a conversation with the GM and we were talking about those guys who were free agents after the 207 season because there were there were I mean, Adley Rechman chief among them as guys whose contracts expire after 2027 and he was saying we're having a hard time pricing this because the way you know

It's it's funny to me like fans fans will come off to me and say hey like who are the Yankees can get who are the red socks going to get And it's not so simple as either of those teams wants a Specific guy and is going to go full bore for him like in the NFL you have 53 man rosters and you have taxi squads in the NBA

In baseball you have 26 man rosters in the big leagues and 180 players in the minor leagues

“So you have this whole wide universe from which trades can be made”

So it doesn't come down to we have these limited pieces here and we got to figure out how to shuffle them within the constraints of a salary cap In baseball the world is your oyster when it comes to a trade So you can do everything from focus on guys who are at the big leagues right now To guys who are triple A or double A maybe on the cusp to 16 and 17 year olds playing in the Dominican summer league You can trade some kinds of draft picks sometimes like they're just all kinds of opportunities to make deals

So what these teams look for almost more than individual players is Value place where do we get the best value where do we feel like we come out of this deal? Which inherently because it's at the trade deadline you're going to be overpaying like it's an inefficient market like that But in in the constraints of that inefficient market

“How do we get the best value out of it? That's what they're looking for and that's how the Yankees wound up with Luis Garcia Jr”

Who does not fit what they need necessarily

Defensively they have Paul Goldschmitt and Ben Rice at first base already and so

They got Luis Garcia because they're like we need a hitter. We'll figure out where to play him That it was the you know, it was the same situation with the fillies and Luis arise like if everything goes how we expected to Luis arrives is going to play second base. Bryce Harper is going to shift to right field Alipom is going to shift from third base to first base and Bryson Sots going to shift from second base to third base and I've been Tim Kirkchum was like this is a slow pitch softball team

It like I have to say it's been a good day with him Kirkchum. He's the best everyone should do it at some point Yeah, it's exciting when he's when baseball when the when the stove is heating up the most that's when he sounds like the pill's very

Doble and he's just he's getting all day long. I love watching my team funny. It's so yeah

He is great for baseball. All right, so off what you just said in terms of the the vast resources teams have in which to trade at the trade deadline Let's talk about Terri Scooble and was there anyone who is as competitive as the Dodgers or Was there and we have our conspiracy theories on this show that this is partially a collusion situation where the owners want the Dodgers to get all the best players Want them to win a world series so then all the fans say hey, we need a salary cap

What what transpired was anyone else in you know? Did the brewers make it offered to the raise make the offer because I saw Scott Harris called the Dodgers himself on Saturday and I is now the new reported The the whole thing was very interesting and there certainly was was some Consternation among the teams that did not get a bite at the Terri Scooble appell if you will and and here here's the truth guys Scott Harris could have sat down

Because he he went around asking at the beginning for the number one player for every team with the raise it was like can we get Theo Gillin and he was told No Theo Gillin who's I think is 20 year old outfielder out of Austin Had a big break out this year year this year dynamic guy is gonna be a star and The raise just simply did not want to give up a player of that caliber for what amounts to a rental regardless of how good Terri Scooble is

Same thing with Bruce hey, so Smoday is the number one prospect in all of baseball They are not going to give that up

“But here's the thing the Dodgers weren't going to give up their number one prospect just way to Paul either and they didn't want to”

Give up at war to contaro another young outfielder as well. So I think what the Tigers did was Go and look through the rest of the prospects and so with the raise for example They're number two and three prospects Kate Bodine Nathan flew out like both catchers the Tigers have the best catcher in the big leads and Dylan English, so the match might not have been as good there the raise could have given you know five or six guys But they would have been lesser and I think it was clear that that's got Harris wanted a a smaller and more robust package with the brewers

They could have done that you know Luis Pena is a short stop and He is really good. They don't have outfielders quite the same way though that that the Dodgers did And if you look at what the What the Tigers have right now. They have a long-term short stop in Kevin McGonagold. They are missing a corner outfielder right now To go alongside Riley Green and Max Clark. They want another pitcher who's throwing

Just been a breakout guy this year and adding river Ryan You know I talked to someone with the Tigers and he's like our rotation next year's we have three guys who throw a hundred and so That you know, I think they looked at what the Dodgers had looked at those assets and said for this team We have right now this makes sense now all that being said guys I get the conspiracy theories you guys are not the only ones

There are plenty of people within the baseball realm who were screaming this is collusion

This is this this is that I've always been of the and maybe this is the nerd reporter in me

I've always been of like until I see evidence I have a hard time believing it and I just have a hard time especially believing that an entire organization in the Detroit Tigers and

“All the other 28 non Dodgers organizations around major league baseball would agree to the idea of giving the most valuable thing the only thing”

You play for another time to a team that's already won the last two like it's a it's a fun story It's a tidy little idea It's just antithetical to the way that these people act and and to the their whole goals like this is They're lively who do you think they're gonna sacrifice what they're doing on the altar of major league baseball Trying to get a salary cap

Maybe the answer is yes, I don't discount anything because MLB really wants a salary cap guys and I'll tell you this

This goes a long way To pissing off fans and having pitchforks and torches in the in the baseball streets Yeah, so it's interesting is the timing of it. You know if the deal was done on Saturday There's still you know a day and a half left where you can actually get on the phone get your best and final off from other teams

“As far as the Tigers in their front office goes I don't I'm not sure I really buy that they would be less inclined to trade him to the Dodgers”

Because the Dodgers had won the world series That they're like especially a different league to me that that seems like that wouldn't be as much of a factor If they feel like they're getting a fair offer and exchange form. It's like okay the Dodgers are gonna win You're the Tigers you don't that doesn't really affect you as much as if it was another American league team and I do think that the motivation From an ownership group would be bigger if you know you're not gonna win the world series this year

The motivation for getting that salary cap is maybe the most enticing carrot on a stick that you could have in the entire sport and That's billions of dollars in your pocket moving forward So I am thinking about the conspiracy here the timing again on Saturday Why can you explain to me because big cat had an idea of maybe they wanted to trade somebody else So I didn't make sense to trade school. I thought it would had to go

School first because then it like basically the whole trade market is decided on school

And it's specific like that's all of MLB, but then specifically for the Tigers They were also gonna trade KC-Mys so it's like you got to do the school deal first and then figure out where you go with KC-Mys That was my understanding of why it may be one reasoning for why it went Saturday night and not all the way to Monday afternoon So I guess my question is what do you think like could they have gotten better offers? Is that again just like a tin foil hat because I think it's it makes a lot of sense

Hang on to them for at least another day another two days as it's heating up You've got that offer from the Dodgers. Do you think that there would have been competing offers if not stronger offers? I don't think that's an unreasonable thing to think guys I also think that we have to factor in that waiting a longer time

Might not lead to bigger offers. Let's say that the Dodgers get tired of waiting around and

“And listen, this is a risk that you have to take you need to go into the heads of other executives and try and think okay”

If I'm in their shoes, how am I going to handle this situation? But what if the Dodgers say you know what I'm tired of waiting? I'm gonna pivot away from this and do something else now that probably wasn't going to happen because there's nobody like Terri Scooble on the market There were probably going to have the Dodgers just waiting there at the whole time But you run the risk then of not getting or of having another team out of it and then some of the other teams that have been in have made

Other moves already you're traded away pieces that you might have wanted and I think it's a burden hand situation Yeah, yeah, and Scott Harris is able to make his moves after that. All right, who else and can I can I just can I just say this guys? I want to put a bow on this what the Tigers did might not have been right What the Tigers did might not have been optimal. I also think that it's within reason enough To think that there was strategic elements involved in it might not have been the correct strategy

But I think it's a fair and reasonable one. Yeah. Okay. Who else won trade deadline for you?

Talking about Casey Mies who Casey Mies is really really good starter and the podraise are like that's a team

That is always kind of lived in that weird, you know, they're in the wild card. They're in the same division as the Dodgers

Yeah, they basically said hey, you know what we're gonna try to go for it We're gonna try to not be scared of the Dodgers The podraise aren't scared of the Dodgers. They've they've never been scared of the Dodgers

“They've beaten the Dodgers in the playoffs. Yeah, remember like that it was them and the Diamondbacks. They have”

You know, they have slain the beast there and show them that Even though the Dodgers are the overwhelming favorite right now baseball is a funny sport and Especially in short series you can see things Not go the way of the most talented team sometimes the other team just gets on a heater sometimes you just

play a utter horseshit series like that happen sometimes, but It was interesting because Casey Mies is market sort of collapsed there In his last start he had come off the injured list with a growing issue his velocity was down Number of teams thought he was hurt and we're going to see his start then he got scratched from that start and they're like all right, you know

We're just not gonna pay for somebody who might be broken AJ Preller He's like I don't I don't care I mean he's a swashbuckler at the deadline and he'll go and do the things that other organizations are just not willing to do and adding Casey Mies adding Robbie Ray whoever his last ten starts has been one of the best pictures in baseball

Doing that to a team that's finally hitting guys. It has taken more than half the season, but for analytics he's junior hitting

Manning Machado hitting Jackson Merrill, they picked up Luis Renifo. He's been one of the best hitters in baseball since the all starbreak Ty France has been awesome this year The Padres suddenly look really dangerous, but they have looked awful at points this season and it's a very Helter-scelter team and if they make the playoffs, yeah, they could be a problem. I'm just not sure that they're gonna make the playoffs Yeah, yeah, yeah, what I mean sometimes the biggest trades are also the ones that don't get made out there

How about that bit of analysis The the the braves trying to make them shit. It's not a foist him exactly Degrom giving a big fuck you to the braves. I love that We got some metz fans here in the office and that they they love that. I just love the idea that you know Like if it probably wasn't just because he hates the braves because he played in New York

Probably some other factors, isn't it? Maybe that you know about, but

It's fun to pretend that he was just kind of once it met always a met

“I mean if you'd like to to actually know that no I mean I think he probably likes it land to better than New York”

And that's one of the cities that he would have gone to Yeah, but it was a family thing he's got his family down in Texas. They're settled there. They're comfortable there and Beyond that When Jacob degrom got no trade protection in his contract the idea is not just to be able to say yes or no But to use it as an economic cudgel and he's got a 37 million dollar mutual option at the end of his contract

And he very easily could have said Either you turn that 37 million dollar mutual option into a player option that is now in my hands Or I'm not going to take this deal. So the financial parts of no trade protection come in and and sometimes make the decision for him Yeah, and then with Paul schemes was there ever anything that was close to happening with Paul schemes And in terms of him like

In terms of having lunch or in terms of any trade With with a pirate's taking off Okay, no, no now they they're not I mean they're not even They're not even getting offers on that

“Like the pirates the pirates went out and got a bunch of relief pitching yesterday and it's interesting guys because I think”

People probably don't realize the Pittsburgh pirates have the third best offense in baseball this season And they've been doing it lately without an eel cruise and without counter grip in two so two of their best offensive players Pirate starting rotation highest Fastball velocity in major league baseball 97.6 miles per hour. They got a bunch of dudes who can chuck it

What they were missing was a bullpen and while they didn't get Big names, you know, they did get looped waiver who's the best reliever out on the market Getting lake balker curviates as well like not big names But it's the sort of thing guys that I think will go a long way to showing what the Pittsburgh pirates can be and in Inside of that clubhouse they were you know all schemes among them

They were really hoping to get relief pitching and that's exactly what the front office did Yeah, they're still in the wildcard three and a half games out all right. I know you got to run in the second I got a couple of their quick hitters. What do you do if you're an Orioles fan today because that was Probably to moralizing, you know, trade to see the Orioles had a young core a few years ago

They never really got back to to that like level of baseball and now feels like another reset button if you're an Orioles fan

“I think that's fair. I think this is more reset than rebuild though and those are to like the Orioles like”

We're the worst of the worst when it came to tanking. It's like them and the Astros and After 2023 they they went a hundred one games. It's like oh my god. What is this team going to be? And again this goes back guys to what we were talking about earlier the Orioles thought That they were going to be a championship caliber contender for the next half decade And it just has not worked for for we could go for a multitude of reasons. It just hasn't worked and so

Adley Richmond was like the face of that and to ship him away. It's painful Getting back Anthony Iinson and Kyson with her spoon and Andy Ozacar and Carlos Narvaya's like they crushed that deal the red socks Understood they were overpaying significantly. There was a tax for being in division There was a tax for keeping them away from the Yankees But they got their guy and they got a franchise caliber catcher for the next year and a half when

They believed they can win the American League and based on the way they've been playing lately They look like they've got a real shot at it. Yeah, I've got one other question for you here This is actually maybe a little bit outside of your normal X expertise area But I'd like for you to break down this trade if you could this broke last week Kind of slipped under the radar before the baseball trades happened. There's a gorilla trade

Where the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago sent two western lowland gorillas It was a 20 year old and a 12 year old both female Kamba and Nora They went to Columbus and exchanged for a 12 year old and an eight year old so again It's a 20 and a 12 year old for a 12 year old and eight year old coming back to Chicago

“So Chicago gets younger Columbus. Do you feel like this is an all-in move for them? What's your breakdown of the gorilla trade?”

You need veterans in the gorilla world. I mean it's it's it's hard out there in the trees and and when Listen when you have somebody who's a force somebody who's been there before somebody who can Take you through getting your ass kicked one day get punched in the face and then someone coming up to you and just Beating their chest and telling you you suck you need someone there to pat the 12 year old on the head and say it's okay You can go grab them by the balls the next time and throw them to the ground and you have my permission

If it's a 12 year old and an eight year old, you know, they they haven't been there before they don't understand The way that if you twist the nuts then the gorilla goes down and won't fuck with you again That's right. We're gonna have friends in the present of the Brookfield Zoo on on Thursday to break it all down We're preeminent zoo trade podcast all right last question roadback question

Since you know the book is basically a giant FAQ and we've been what have we been doing all week

John Hancock's signing a lot of books that are on sale Anderson go by now I did like you you Hank had uh Mr. Portnoi or he had Max Rita random chapters Mr. Portnoi's chapter Yeah, and I did read this like a few months ago when I was reading through the book and it was very funny The line of Mr. Portnoi being like I had a podcast. They had a podcast I didn't understand why they were getting such big guests and I wasn't hmm. He also like took

I feel like I I heard it is like almost a shot at his son He was like they and took a big risk like not a lot of people knew knew the company when they moved to New York. It's like That's your son's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but Mr. Portnoi's in the book. We have a bunch of different chapters But yeah, we've been signing books Anderson books you can still buy some signed copies We are two weeks out two weeks out from the book launching and

We appreciate everyone who's bought and if you're thinking about buying you can also wait and buy at the week of it That would be a big help. I got to say as good as the chapters are that are written by people not Like guests on the show, you've got the SVP chapter. You've got just a lot of people that like Joe book Was able to contribute to the book to a lot of people helped us out But I think the best chapters are the

Zach chapters Zach chapters and also the I the just history of ice cream

Or just like what ice cream means as Zach is absolutely incredible and

Memes is chapter on how to rebuild the jets pretty good to in my chapters wrong. Don't don't forget Don't forget Max and Florio doing the Mount Rushmore of Italian I was terrible panic pick at that I'm stressing about for months Oh because he took he Fauci now I doubt him in so funny. Well, it's it's yeah, it's Italian Americans and sports

I guess he had something to do with sports Who could it be? Who could it be? True, I know yeah, it was a panic icon. I'm like I'm mad at myself for it Hello soon to be best-selling authors my brother and I argued about this consistently

“Content-wise what is better for the show a winning Hank or a losing Max?”

Also how often do arguments happen the hour before recording that would make great content. Thank you for all you do Team hack yeah, it really depends on the love of heartbreak I don't know shut up. If it's bad bad loss then yes, 100% losing Max max that is worst is just absolute gasoline for the show But think about a couple of years ago. No shut up. No Or did my for you personally? Yeah, he said like no no. You said what you personally? No the show is popping off

The other part of that question. Yes, we have a big problem as a show Where we we we just chill too much beforehand We we what is about a year ago. We added chairs outside the studio and it just become our chill zone It's a problem. We just added another section of chill because the way our show goes is like all right We meet it we meet at this time that we do a little bit of now we do a little bit of chilling outside of the studio

We're saying we're gonna record it like say we're gonna record it one we meet at one Chill then we come into the studio and then we do a little bit more chilling because we There needs to be a little bit of a buffer zone when we're also in the studio before we start Recording yeah, it's normally about 45 minutes that we start after we say we're gonna start It's also just I guess it's probably a testament to why we've been able to do 10 years because we all are

Actually friends with each other and like being around each other unlike you know some other shows where they just like don't you know The famous Mike in the Mad Dog didn't talk until they sat down on Sunday night

“I at like 1045 we finished recording and I texted my wife. I was like are you asleep?”

She's like no, but I'm about to be I was like okay cool. I'm just gonna chill with the boys for a little bit and we just chilled for like 30 minutes after Recording see yeah, there's a lot of chillin that goes on But that also's when the magic happens we get it going, you know You get the juices flowing sometimes the guys don't listen to save it for the show though Yeah, they just what they try to blow right past you we get it and so I act like you're not part of that

Hank shut the fuck up for a second

Right we you know that the save it for the show the the warnings go unheeded more often than they go Protect it the more just a call yourself included Yeah, I know you said some guys the guys. Hey, you are the guys. Oh, okay. I am the guys, but we do need I'm saying if there was one thing We can improve on it's respecting the save when somebody calls you tried to show me the Joe Biden See I was like I'm gonna wait and I'm very happy

I did I just knew that you love the show really good. Same for the show. Yeah, you were like I want to show you this

“I was like should I if it is like it's really funny. I was like should I just wait then?”

I knew that you love the guy. I'm sorry for wanting to put a smile on my boys face the best is though When there's actually a big like saving for this show save it for the show and one person just Really wants to talk about it and then the other people are actually starting yelling save it for sure

I'll be screaming for the show

You got to save the show. We save a lot for the show Assuming views and lessons were the same regardless if you had to chew only choose one type of guess to have on would you prefer to be a coach/player or media member Just depends on like how we get along with that person What you got to pick one. You got to pick one. Oh man. This is actually a really hard question fuck

I think I think me I'm just like I'm putting it in the camps. I think media member, right? Like if you if you had to break it down. It's like all right. You don't get any more interviews with like Harba or like all the big ten coaches on one side or You don't get interviews with like recilo or win horse or Like recilo's a coworker. He's not really. All right, but this is like I'm just trying to think I think it's coach-player

You would get rid of them or no. I would interview them. You interview him. Yeah. It's a tough one I like the fact that we get to do both. It's a really tough question because I think some of our our best episodes are with people that are

Close this with us. Yeah, which isn't always coach, but now when it's the rare combination of like a coach player that is close with us

Like a coworker, then that's That's the real answer, but I think I'd probably go overall. I probably go media member. Blake Griffin, a media member. Yep

“That's what I like there's there's a great isn't now. Yeah, so he would be now, right?”

So like you'd still get former coach player. Yeah You wouldn't have coach players. You just have future guests part of my take now I'm thinking about like When they were tired when they were tired then the yeah, then we're like okay now we can interview you But what if they're not in the media? They will the coach player interviews are funnier specifically players

Members are like we put it to him a little Yeah, showing coaches like Ryan D's nipple ring is funny. I agree, but like Charles Barclay is media not player. Yeah Man, that's tough. That's that. Yeah, that's what I'm saying brutal. He's definitely. He's hardy Oh, no, but yeah, what does tell anyone starts working for barstals for like when you when you hear Charles when you hear Charles Barclay You hear you think play

Yeah All right tough great question. Yeah, that's a great fucking crush you final answers. I got an answer. I say media I'll keep coach player. Do you want to do a show together? Yeah, yeah Question I'm booking guests. Do you guys ever feel uncomfortable approaching guests you love and asking them to come on the show? Is there too much example being Caleb or Jane like is there a clear relationship there, but is there a point of asking?

And it's like okay. This is too much in similar vein when we're getting PC on the show. Big KWP. Oh, yes It's got I actually talked to someone from the cubs. Yes. It's gonna happen No, I don't I think I've gotten pretty good I even the Jeff pass it. I actually look back. I think I did a good job I'm going to read you my my text Jeff pass because he was coming at me, which I love he's got spice

“That's what Jeff like that's why he's a good guest because he kind of he has a little shit to him”

I said to him eight thirty in the morning happy dead line day I know today is nuts. We'd love to have you on PMT tomorrow for 20 minutes if you have a window We can make whatever work for your schedule I feel like just a reply being like yeah, let's talk tomorrow Would have been fine. That's not that bad. I don't think it's bad at all

I think if anything you're following up to it encouraged him to go hard. Yeah, where you followed up. You know like hey I just realized I'm a jerk. You could have followed up and just been like that might not have been the best timing Let me know when to work. Yeah, well, that's what my fault was I said sorry This one was probably a dumb time to text let me know if you have a window tomorrow That was like after the trade deadline. Yeah, and then he called me and he was like you know

It was a dumb time, but I was like yeah, he made it that also Jeff like and he deserves this We love Jeff. He's great as job. This is the day. This week is really when he's feeling like top of his game Yeah, so like he's got a little extra spice He's feeling good day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's going after be cat. Yeah, that's a heat check. Yeah, but I read it back because I was like

“We did I fuck that up because I think it would have been a fuck up if I if I texted him”

I was like hey, we have you on it 11 a.m. tomorrow like something like that

I basically was like we have a wide open day just let me know of tomorrow at some point works. All you had to say is

Yeah, that's cool. I'll hit you later. But yeah, that's a lot of the a lot of my texture like that. Like hey We like would you be down to come on and I have Enough of relationship with a bunch of people that doesn't feel weird and my favorite one of my favorite things about big cat for our entire relationship is lack of social anxiety especially in situations where there's like athletes and celebrities Where he will just go up to everyone. Yeah. Oh, yeah, like there's no like you know you got a little bit nervous

I go look it's that person. They're like I don't want to just go up in like bum russian like big head

Did you ask Larry David to come to show or no?

No, that's probably the one person you might not have but I could still might it. I pulled back a handshake from Larry David because I was I realized He's a germaphob and I said hey congrats on the next and he like mumbled and walked away But yeah, I'll go up to anyone and just be like hey, well, come on the show. Yeah I mean at this point it's also easier people know who we are. Yeah, yeah early on like it did not matter

“That's it always we said it the one of the worst senses you can say in the English language is do you want to come on my podcast?”

It's just you cannot say that without feeling like a loser Thankfully something is wildly wrong with my brain that I can not feel like a loser even though I am a loser When somebody tells me, uh, yeah, yeah, we'll talk about it. That is that's the worst feeling that you have you asked somebody like hey We come on the podcast. Yeah. Yeah, let's talk about it. We can make some happen. Oh, I just then they don't actually like Settle in the date. Oh, I put the screws to people. I just say I say can you come on tomorrow like this time?

Because then they can't then you got to say yes or no with a with Jane and I'm intentionally I don't I I don't want Jade into spend a single second thinking about me

So I am I have intentionally let the guy just play football. It was great meeting him But in terms of like chasing him down to try to get him on pot. Hopefully one day he'll come back on But I think the less Jade and Daniels thinks about my stupid face. Probably the better for his NFL career It's up guys. Love to show especially Hank question for PFT What goes through your mind when you get dressed in the morning for example?

“How do you choose to wear a football jersey on a random summer Tuesday afternoon?”

Okay, so this is I guess a question from Hank Lockwood No, this sounds like a real piece of shit Hank, so right now I'm wearing a jersey of my favorite team. I'll I moved for the Washington commanders. No, I know I'm wearing a Washington commander I think the person just genuinely like with like with wait wait. You get out of bed And you're like jersey days with with with the Washington commanders hat. All right, but like

Then I know that it's not that it's pretty crazy. We do it's all gets four. We know we're just Zanie Bits here at barastole But I'm genuinely curious the process like you wake up. You got to bed. I got to get dressed for work today Jersey. I got a new Mikey Sandra still Jersey when they redesigned the entire commander's jerseys and so I decided that I would wear my Mike Sandra still Jersey today Football's back this week. I'm just like I'm like Inspector Gadget. It's kind of football season day This is a wide black t-shirt. So I feel like wearing wearing a football jersey at barstole sports

Of your favorite team. I love spawn the hat that goes along with the team is pretty standard

“God loves not your eyes crazy. That's what's so no one said it's crazy”

I genuinely curious or this person was genuinely curious I've just like the process. Well yesterday, we're all bullets here So there's that I know I'm saying so I have matching I think about like when you're like like two days a row You go to sleep with an idea of where you're going to wear out like the first thing you just wake up

I have never I'm gonna wear all bullets. I'm gonna wear jerseys

I'm gonna wear like I have never once in my life Thought about what I'm going to wear the next day before I go to bed And I love trucks every day's a surprise. It's a wonderful event if you got like an early flight or something Okay, you know that is true. So the first time that we did wake up barstole First day I was like I should I gotta wake up at 5.45 tomorrow morning might as well figure out what I'm gonna wear on TV

And that was just basically being like oh, yeah, I got to wear pants. So I put pants out one day and a t-shirt It was very underwhelming outfit, but yeah, no, I mean I it's no secret. I don't really spend that much time playing now. This one. I just think you picked a wrong data Ask that question nothing wrong with wearing jersey. It's a Little random

But I wasn't I'm not I'm not chirping. I think you look good like you you're matched well. You look stylish. I just genuinely like Was it to know if it was Jersey for a reason or if it was just like fuck it Tuesday, August 4th Football jersey. I don't think there's anything wrong. I don't like I don't think I was in the wrong I'm not sure. Yeah, you would all. I'm genuinely Also through your double t-shirt look at the heritage was one t-shirt not enough. It's actually one t-shirts

It is that's the one that Jack McCarty wore They both wore to Max's wedding. Yeah, and then he wore it yesterday So I knew that it was yeah, yeah, cuz like I wouldn't have I would I'm scared There's a we know we have a few matching shirts. So it's like I wouldn't wear it Just in the off chance we'd do it again like that can't happen

So once I saw him wearing it yesterday When I was getting changed. I was also just like going through and I was like oh, I mean light. It's a good shirt Thank you. Does he come in your size? It's just too small too big. It's a little too small. It's a little tighter on the collar. It's all right PFT. I just sided just a little bit different today. You might be it might just put on weight. I'm not coming at you. Yeah, I'm putting all the way

I decided to go with a different today. PFT. I'm wearing a black t-shirt. That's good. It's good. It's good. I'll fit. Mm-hmm Is that where you wearing today? On body today. I decided to go with a black t-shirt

But I do one day where I get a little freaky and I just wear like a golf shirt a Great that's my fucking nuts a great a great like you know jack. Everyone's Mr. Nice guy Mr. You know He's he's been coming at max and rightfully so No LeBron gear and today's wearing Jordan's oh Your go yeah

I did say I will give Jordan the nod to sneakers

But like a little brawn guy would never say that. Yeah, you're not fully brawn. No, you're not if you guys want to worry about a parallel worry about on the court

“Well, okay, you have to what what do you wear on the court?”

That if you want to worry about what he's wearing on the court. I'll worry about how he plays on the court. Oh So you changed it's just there because I just asked you what what is you wear on the court because you do actually have to work If you're gonna play bat if your LeBron James is gonna play basketball this year He does have to get dressed and he has to put on shoes. Okay. You can worry about that. I'm just saying the game Well, no, you should be worried about that. I won't like if the wizard got LeBron PFT would be have one

He is every single day. I would've gotten since they got it. I would've gotten LeBron's face tattooed on my face Yeah, PFT is an anomaly hold on But you understand that you should be at least a little worried like what if LeBron just doesn't get dressed one day

All right, what max do you oh that's a problem in the same jersey?

They're sold out. Oh, you name is your name on a weight list. Yeah They're sold out. You're on the weight list. You're on the way on the way firm. Or did you just go out Where's jerseys? I don't wear you did in order to only grown man who wears jerseys. That's an absolutely insane take Hank also just said the same thing you wear you wake up on a Tuesday morning and you pick out your favorite Michael Jackson Hill jerseys. That wasn't him. He's got your age. I have one, Michael

I don't have a problem beard at all. I'm not coming at you whatsoever Did I wear it on a football Sunday makes sense the random Tuesday in August? It's just like I'm curious I did not realize that this was going to be a controversy. It's not all the things that aren't to work I didn't think that this one was by the way Mike the Sanders shrill is 25 years old. So he's not half only 17 years younger Yeah, well 16 idiots

Yeah hit it right man. He's also for driving car. He's about to be 26 max you own any jerseys at all

That was mean max. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you own a lot of jerseys max. I think I own You Max you did walk around with shoulder pads on like a month ago that that's a that's my own jersey That's a yeah This was not the day I expected to have the should grown men wear jerseys

“I think you should I think there's no problem. You asked the question. That wasn't even that fake you”

Yeah, you just you just went that look a blue and then Hank's like I don't know what you're coming at me I wasn't coming out of my genuinely like I wouldn't have said if he's coming out of me There's a brilliant mind it's a fascinating guy I wanted to get inside his head and learn about his process and we got to my process this morning was literally I just got this jersey because they don't make it out all new jerseys that makes sense

So I it was between honestly can I tell you what happened this morning? Yes, okay That was why I asked the question. All right, I had two choices. You want to go stolen? No, because they They learned their lesson last time when they took a peek inside and they're like that was a waste of time I two choices this morning One was the Mikey sander still the other was the one that I tried to wear which was

Luke McAfrey and I wore that in the loot to service. It was not the salute to service It was a brand new burgundy loom McAfrey and then Blake threw up on it this morning It was like out and then I was like, well, I bet I was already in the mindset of wearing a jersey Which Hank is right like it's weird time to wear jersey But because I was excited about the Mikey about the Luke McAfrey jersey

I was in a jersey mindset Blake throws up on it. I was like Okay, I'll just go to the backup jersey that I have because I'm not gonna I'm not making that's what once you put on the jersey You don't take it off and you put a polo shirt on no you're already like you've set your intention for that day You're gonna go to work and probably be like a little shady in the way you operate that day That's a grown man wearing a football uniform in August

So I said I'm going to then elegantly switch to the Mikey and I think I pulled it off pretty good Thank you getting new clothes is exciting and you want to wear mine if that was just a jersey that you've had That would have been weird but like a new jersey. It's like, yeah, this is fresh. I want to I want to wear it

“Yep, if you agree though if this that was just like a jersey you've had and you're like fucking jersey Tuesday. I think that's why I didn't put on”

The the Luke McAfrey salute to service architect Camo jerseys. Yeah, I had the new one I wanted to put on and then I had the Mikey so I'm glad we talked this through yeah, me too

That was max. Yeah, that was good. Oh, those were amazing. Yeah. I did that ugly shit

“Very ugly, really ugly. I could show voice”

Number zero

20-30, I think that means 11. It's 7. 31. 3. 35. 69. So there's zero and there's 100. 92

“, I think. Catskin. Oh, 3. 93. Anyone? No. Oh, I think about 92. Oh, so far. It's just a one more 35. Colden. What do you have 69? Why is it a jersey stitch?”
