“And it's all brought to you by our friends at Chevy.”

Chill week is right around the corner. You know what that means. No schedules. No plans. Just more the good stuff. Chevy Silverado makes that possible. There's a reason Chevy's called The Heartbeat of America. And the Silverado keeps that heartbeat strong. These trucks work hard. So you can chill harder.

turning around when you probably should. It's got the capability, the space and the muscle, everything you need for a proper summer coolers gear, whatever your version of chill looks like. Because at the end of the day, Silverado helps you tackle more of what you love. And let's be honest. You've earned this summer. Now it's time to go get it. So roll the windows down, turn the music up and just listen. That's the heartbeat of America.

That's today's Chevrolet head over to Chevy.com to learn more today. Welcome to part of my take presented by draft Kings. The crown is yours today. Is Wednesday, June 24th. And Eonus is a Miami Heat. And the NBA draft is occurred. And put on the wizard hat. And nobody beats the whiz. Nobody beats the whiz. Do we want to still start with the draft? Because you put on the wizard hat. I feel like that's the

sign that you want. You're ready to talk to whiz. It is. Yeah. It's pretty subtle. But I'm glad you picked up on it. Hank and Anne Max did request the whiz hat. Yeah, for all whiz. They tried to mock you. Then they tried to mock me. No, no, no, no. You were wearing the whiz hat. You've been wearing the whiz hat. I've been wearing it today. Yeah. I'm getting in the spirit. It's DC Day. And it's DC Day. Literally. Yeah. We got we got a great pick up for the

“caps on the wild car. And then. Oh, that's what we're talking about right now.”

Oh, we're talking about the caps. You're asking you, Max on the wild car. Yes, Max on the wild car. Do you want to say again? I've got some a share of the wild car. But as as a previously report on this podcast, Tre Young is going to resign with Washington wizards, which he did 100% accurate on that one. And then I came into the office today. And I was greeted with the peanut gallery. And a lot of people that work here have was the arrangement syndrome.

And they just can't believe that anything good could ever have. Who is the peanut gallery? It's just over the same. It sounded like verbatim. Shoms for ply guys. It was like LMAO, oh, generational overpay. Oh, can't believe they fumbled. It's so bad, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. A lot of stuff like that. But who was that? Who, who are the reply guys? Henry Lockwood. To not say that. The ply guy calling down from me from the balcony.

Like John Wilkes Booth when I was just trying to walk across the the basketball court. Well, you weren't wearing any wizard to gear on the biggest day of your franchise.

And that's always had the time I wasn't. Yeah. Well, the biggest state might have been yesterday

when they signed a triung to four years, $212 million. Yes. That is that is the accurate amount. It is backloaded. So it will drop as the cat moves up, which will we find? Got it. It would be, I don't know. Like you can look at what triung is done. And yeah, he's had his moments where maybe he's not the strongest defender in the world. He's a very, very good player. As a matter of fact, if you look at most assists per game in the history of the NBA,

number one, you would have magic Johnson, number two, you'd have John Stockton, number three, you would have triung. And last year, he had 26 five rebounds, 11 assists, 60% feel goal. How many games? That's beside the point. We don't need to get into the details of that. Okay. Um, those are just the main numbers. What do you say to our good friend Wendy?

one of the worst contracts in the league. Yeah. When he's got, he's got wisdom, I don't think syndrome as well. I don't think that they could trade this contract unless they attach the number one picture. Which is the reply guy. Which by the way, brand win horse, I will acknowledge knows way more about the NBA than I do. He's way more plugged in. That is stupid as fuck of him to say.

“That's just bullshit. That's just not true. Because because it's not true. Like the only way you”

could trade that contract if you had to was if you had the first overall. No, it's not true for

a lot of reasons. And you say they may be one of the reasons why I contract with the first overall. I don't think they could trade this contract unless they attach. So that's all he said. Yeah. That's pretty much. Yes. He said it's so bad that they couldn't trade it no matter what they had. Unless it was the number one pick attached to it. Which is bullshit. I don't think that's true. I think, I think, Wendy, if you look back on he doesn't think it's true either. Yeah, that's probably

an exaggeration at that point. One thing Wendy might have been forgetting is that the new lottery rules make a guy like Tray Young maybe a little bit more valuable on a contract like that. Because a guy like Tray Young would keep you out of the relegation zone.

“That's what you're going for. It's just one element of it. I also think that like we haven't”

really had any players that we've been building around for the last you know 12 years. He's a good player. What else are you going to do with that $49 million this year? Who are you going to go get with that? A few of such a big like building block. Why wouldn't the hocks have kept him? That's a fair point. I think things ran their course. Bad fit. Bad fit. It's a good good counterpart. Bad fit, but he wants he's committed. He wants to be a wizard and we let him test the open market

and there were a couple other offers for him. And then he said, "I'm just going to do those other offers, but with you guys." So he came back to us. Rumor on the street was it was the nets and the bulls. That offered him that money. And so we said, "You know what we'll do it." Because we believe in you too.

I listen, it might not work. I'll admit that. You never know. But for people to jump ahead and be like,

"Oh, this is the worst contract in the NBA. Oh, I'm just..." There's disgusting literally what our job is. What? We react to shit like that all the time. To say like it's the worst contract in the NBA is a little ridiculous.

“That's what we do. Little red. Just I can think of two off top. My head, Jwellem B. Paul George.”

Bradley Bill. Bradley Bill. With the wizards. That's the other thing. That's another reply. I refrain. Oh, the bro just did the Bradley Bill over again. That's wrong. Bradley Bill was five years. It's wrong. It was five years and also Bradley Bill had a no trade clause. That is the crazy part of the Bradley Bill contract. People pay out way too much money for, you know, slightly above average players all the time. Bradley Bill's no trade clause was the real issue. Guys, like, Wendy would say that that contract is so bad.

It basically is a no trade clause. No, there's a trade clause. You just have to add the number one pick.

Again, I think if you ask Wendy right now, I hate to... Wendy, shut up and dribble. Okay? Sorry, Wendy. I love you, but that's that's bullshit. Take. Okay. And again, I'm just seeing a lot of people that have wizards arrangement syndrome. I'm just trying to have fun. I'm just trying to have fun with this team and be able to enjoy a product that is actually built to win. And I think that could win. And AJ Debatsa is a massive masterpiece of that. I think they made the right pick tonight. That's the guy that I wanted.

One at AJ and I think he fits perfectly in that starting lineup, which should be a competitive lineup in the east next year. Yeah. And the draft was tonight. So it pretty much went what everyone expected. AJ Debatsa going one. Darren Peterson going Utah even though he didn't go like we said. It was pretty much ace Bailey all over again. The jazz are going to pick whoever they want to pick. Cam Booser to the Grizzlies and then Caleb Wilson. I'm very excited about to the bulls.

And then run on guards. And yeah, I think we all expected it. It was the draft. This is a loaded draft. I feel like you couldn't really screw up like the beginning of the draft even going to you know a cuff to the seven to the kings. That's exciting for the kings. The draft telecast was something we had we had some interesting the the casting couch after every pick was quite something in Lisa Salter's asking who did she asked that to. The was it was it Dylan swing who the bulls took on a 15 I can't remember but she I think was native meant she asked when did you decide you wanted to be a first round NBA pick.

Two years old three years old I don't know probably your whole life. Yeah, was I decided I wanted to be an NBA first round pick like almost 40 years ago. Yeah, I recently discovered that I could not be a first round NBA pick. Like when did you stop believing it was a better question. It would have been funny if he was like like probably like after lunch today.

I think there's a lot of teams that are excited. I thought it was interesting that Carlos Bouser can't Boozer's dad who works for the jazz was saying that like any team that passes on my son is going to regret it. And then the jazz passed on his son. He doesn't call the shot. He doesn't call all the shots. He doesn't call the shot. But still that's an interesting comment from him. There was a dusty may that was he was watching every Michigan player get picked that he didn't get and getting very upset about it.

But he did get a Michigan player. He got one Michigan player, but he got more as Johnson Jr. He did not want any other Michigan player to go to any other team. I did like to the thunder got chat like a guard dog for Wemby with Mara. They're like, hey, we'll just get a taller guy that that he can be the guy who Wemby bullies. They're like a thick chat. Yeah. Yeah, there's I mean, yeah, there's I Grizzlies. I mean, Bennett starts as a stud at 16 who Grizzlies getting Bennett starts and can't Boozer. I don't know how he's a thunder. Oh, he's thunder now. Oh, but that's bullshit.

Yeah, they trade him. Yeah, that's right. There's an immediate trade. That's bullshit. I don't like how the NBA. That's right. It's thunder. Just keep getting. They got to fix that. We yeah. They got to get guys in the right hats. Yeah. They got to get him in the wiz hat. Everybody in the wiz hat. Yeah. I'm a big gun a guy now. This is a wizard or witch. It is a witch's hat, but it's a wizard.

Yeah, I mean, what is wearing is a witch's hat. This is wiz derangement syndrome 101 to merely a question. Yeah. When you bought that hat. Yeah, I didn't buy that hat. There's been exercises. We had to even lashing out today and I feel like your tone might be a little bit. I don't want to say triggered. No, it's a it's a celebratory day. I'm very, very happy. It's just sad. Yeah, it's DC day. I'm I'm sad that that Hank felt the need to try to put me down and poop who up because he's upset he didn't get young.

Yeah, that's not true, but I saw a PFT from the balcony and I just said, hey, PFT no wizard together. It's the biggest day of your career. Then you started lashing out, call me a sham's reply guy to just a question about your outfit. Then you walked over the corner.

“No, there was a doubt that you said down the wizard sweatshirt and tweeted a picture being like, what's go with?”

No, I put the sweatshirt on because I was making a wizard video.

Of course. Yeah. I don't understand. Listen, let people enjoy things, Hank. Let me be excited about my basketball team for the first time.

I am. I'm excited. You're excited. I'm excited for the win. If he lashing out to you. Yeah. I was sitting on my desk, Shane read a tweet and had a video playing. I just said, who has a worse contract in the history of the MBA?

He said, you talked about your young and then he lashing out. I mean, it's just a little early to say it's the worst contract in the history of the MBA. They're not the ones saying that. Windy's the ones. They're just reporting what other people are doing. They're just playing video.

And I was disagreeing with the takes. And again, we make takes way more hot than that. But I expect more from Windy. Windy knows better. Maybe that should make you concerned because he doesn't do hot takes and he did do that.

“I think he did in the moment. He did in the moment. That's okay.”

We all have takes that we want to take back.

The bottom line is I'm excited.

And you know, they hate us because they hate us. I guess that's where I'm having to deal with right now is I'm seeing a lot of jealousy. I don't know how to respond to that. Because I've never had people be jealous about how great my team is. So now that I'm dealing with that.

Maybe I did get a little bit triggered at Hank. But it's okay. To be fair, it's easy to get triggered with Hank. Yeah. That's on you.

It's kind of like Windy and Clark. It's like no one hates Windy and Clark. It's just because he's on top and they keep talking about him. That it's not derangedments and it's like people are just sick. And if hearing about the wizards as much as we have.

Yeah, because they're so good. They're going to be so good. Also, I'm a big broctin Massachusetts. They're about to be so good. Broctin wrong.

I think this is going to be good.

“I think you're a trouble hank on your back.”

Yeah. Now that they're going to good young core. Yeah. And the big news of the day was Yannis. Well, it was last month and late Monday night.

Yannis gets traded from the box to the heat. I, well, we'll get to Hank's part. But I feel like the box screwed this up just because they waited a year too long. Yeah. And they got a bunch of guys and picks.

I mean, they got Tyler here. Uh, they didn't.

Jimmy hasn't said basically.

They didn't want to take jail and brown because they don't want to be in the middle. Which I get that. But Yannis should have gotten more. The return should have been bigger for Yannis. And then on the other side, the heat.

Yannis and Bam are really good. They got to figure out how to fill out the rest of the roster. Maybe that's not this year thing. Maybe that's the next year thing because Yannis will sign an extension in Miami. Um, and I think it's like one of those things where, especially if you're Pat Riley who this is his MO is like go get the stars and figure out the rest later.

Yeah. You now have the two stars and you can figure out the rest later.

But it is funny looking at their team right now being like, okay.

So who else is playing basketball? Yeah. Yeah. Kevin O'Connor had an interesting point about this. He said that Jimmy has him. He was the driving force in going with a heat deal instead of with a Celtic steel.

I said it's because he didn't want to risk jailing brown wanting out of Milwaukee in a year because he just got done dealing with Yannis. And the mile's Garrett trade situation. So he wanted certainty. And the Miami guys gave more certainty than if it had been jailing brown who would have just had to put him through that same thing again. Yeah.

Who's in a worse spot right now? Yannis's brother who got left behind. So the NASA's got left behind. Or the other deal that was not remarkable whatsoever was the three way deal where the Timberwolves traded Julius Randall to the Nets. The bull's got Nick Clarkson, which I was excited about because that was a quintessential situation where the bull's would have been on the other side of that.

Where it's like trading picks and guys to get nothing. Bull's just got Nick Clarkson's. It's pre-free agencies what they're calling it. Yeah.

“But so is it the NASA's or is it Julius Randall having to move back to New York City to play for the Nets the year after the Nicks win the title?”

Do you think it's going to be Julius?

Do you think he's going to actually play for the Nets? I don't know. That was one of those trades where it's like I don't know what's going to happen. Like what their intentions are of the Nets of getting Julius Randall. The NASA's still probably.

If they don't figure out a way for him to get to Miami. He's definitely going to feel way more left. Way left out. Yeah. Way left out.

I think they will. Yeah. So, Hank, you immediately. What was your tweet after you had us got traded? They got a score?

No. No. No.

I was just going through the same motion.

I just asked a question. On Monday. You tweeted. I tweeted before. Before anything happened.

“Something along the lines like the more I think about it.”

I don't want jail and gone. I hope it's the here. And then when it happened, I said bang. Bang. But do you realize that this is proper.

jail and prime probably is going to be traded still. This is what I've come to. And this this might be delusional. This is just the the world that I've chosen to live in today. Because obviously everyone's like, oh, now jail and stuff.

I'm going to be gone. Now that he saw that he was getting tangled. There's a as a trade piece. Yeah. The narrative that I have chosen in my head, which I don't think is too far from the truth in my head.

Wait. So it's not just could definitely be true. It's what your it's the narrative in your head, but it's not too far. It's not too far. It's your head.

Yeah, like this could definitely be the case. You said it's the narrative that you've chosen because it's a one that makes you feel the best, but it's also probably true. Yes. Okay, got. Brad Stevens, consp and professional.

Sell this for realization with this jail and brown professional. And the rumors that came out were like jail and brown probably asked to get traded. And Brad Stevens said that, you know, you've been grateful for realization. We've been right by you. You've been right by us.

We're in your best interest going to try and do that for you because of, you know, the contribution you made to this team. So jail and brown was not surprised to see that he was offered in the trade. And I think Brad Stevens is a chance he does get traded, but I think if the trade is not best for the selects organization, jail and brown will come back and there will no be that not be any like but hurt feelings. You don't think that jail and brown is going to be upset that he was dangled.

For more dangled. But I think jail and brown said I want to be traded. Okay. Like I put that and he will still stand. Yeah, he will correct.

But I think again, they're professionals. Like if he knows Brad Stevens is trying to do right by him. If it doesn't happen, he's not going to come back and play. Like, oh, this is bullshit. I'm back on this team.

It's going to be like, yeah, didn't work out now. But, you know, I'm back on back on this team. Let's like he still loves Jason Tatum. He still loves City Boss and Celtics. Like if he's back playing for the Celtics, which I hope he is, there's not going to be any like hard feelings. You don't think he's going to go live on twitch and be like, yeah, I wanted out.

They didn't trade me. I thought I was getting traded. So yeah. Okay. So what the what what the alternate reality is. The Celtics realize that they have to move jail and brown because they have limitations on their roster.

And they need to to build around just Jason Tatum. Wendy said the Celtics took a hard look in the mirror and decided we weren't going to beat the next.

“Yeah, that's what I mean, that's Wendy's terrible takes.”

Oh, okay. I don't care. Like Wendy is probably the the most. Yeah, he's level headed. So, so if the Celtics decided to, this is what the other reality is.

The Celtics are like, hey, we got to trade jail and brown. They then tried to go all in to get you on this for jail and brown. Not all in no Hugo. All right. When he went on twitch saying it was his favorite year.

All this stuff, jail and brown doesn't seem like a guy who's probably like super pumped about being openly shopped around. And if he asked for more, we're talking about different reality.

He was like, we're going to trade him and try as hard as they can to trade him. And now he's not traded.

“And you have to deal with being like, hey, man, all that stuff we're trying to do.”

That was just a joke. So you good? I, that seems far-fetched. So the, the less far-fetched is jail and brown saying, I want to be traded. And then when he isn't traded saying, psych, I don't want to be traded anymore.

He knows it's a business. He wants to be traded, but if it doesn't happen, like you got to come back and then get back to work. So, but what about, okay, so I guess in one circumstance we're talking about if he's going to be upset about not getting traded, or if he's going to be upset about being dangling trade.

But I think the real issue is, is he going to just kind of wave away all the reasons why he wanted to be traded in the first place.

Do all those go away. Right. That's what I'm saying. I think that's what's just going to... Once the season starts, yeah, like that's this is off season.

Once the season starts, he'll be back ready to go. Jim Brown's basically going to go into Brad Stevens office to be like, hey, I said some things. You said some things, let's just move on. Yeah. Okay.

Well, you know, push it off. Yeah. You think that's how he's wired. Yes. He's going to be content.

He's a competitor. Once the games are played, he's going to be... But could you say he's a competitor he wants his own team? Because he basically admitted to that when he said that in the Twitch livestream. Yes.

But again, he knows he's got a huge contract. Like it's not easy. He's not necessarily the easiest person to trade for. Like they're one of the worst contracts. They're going to need a lot back.

First, overall pick probably.

Do you think he's going to be happy going into the season? He's going to be doing his third option behind Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Sharman. I don't know. That's just not true. Well, the Celtics, those were the two peat.

“That's what kept them from trading for yawnuses.”

They said you can have anyone. I mean, look at these. He's not a team that just like, I don't know. They're not like Brad Pat Pat Riley's flashy. He doesn't care.

He's old. He's just trying to, you know, make a splash. Completely like blow up their future. Brad Stevens is smart. He's not going to blow up their future just to get yawness.

Nick. Nick. It's our knick. Nicks. memes.

What do you think about all these moves given that you are on the top of the throne? I didn't really move the needle. That all. I think if yawnus would have went to Boston, it would have been scarier. Yeah, because right now the next are still designed to be the current Celtics roster.

The trade away all the guys. You know, really nothing. The heat have to fill out a roster. We don't know what that team's going to look like at all because they've got a great, they've got a great front court and then outside of that.

I don't know who's going to shoot the ball for him. Andrew Wiggins. Yeah. No, I mean, he was good shooting the three this year.

But yeah, they're going to be a defense first team.

And I do think they'll be able to like, this is part of the pat Riley. They get the stars and then everyone else. Everything else will fall in place. So it and he has the track record of that working.

“I think the heat won't be like the championship type team this year.”

But I mean, if yawnus is healthy and they have a few years of him and BAM, they'll be in the mix. And then the box, yeah, again, I feel bad for box fans. The fact that you basically were tortured for the last year and a half. Maybe even more with all this stuff.

Then you finally get traded and the centerpiece is tired of the year. Yeah, they probably, they definitely should have done this a while ago. To get you guys something back in return that you can be sure to build around, be confident building around. Right. It's a, I mean, you would have had two years of yawnus if you traded in last year.

So that part probably sucks for the, for the box. So Hank, you, you think everything's be fun. Has there been any, any other like potential trades, Steven Chay was saying the jazz. There's, there's been reports that teams are inquiring obviously now. You know, jail runs on the table, so people are going to make calls.

He's got, he's got to take that back. It could definitely, I mean, it, it's definitely, like 35% chance it gets traded in the next two weeks. And what about, what about percentage share traded in the next six months? Lower. Oh, okay.

Lower in the next six months and then the next couple weeks. This is the, this is, we're in the hot zone. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Free agency starts next week.

So we're in the hot zone. What would it take to get Hugo from you? Because the fact that you won't throw Hugo in makes me want him more. A lot, probably, first, overall. First, overall, for Hugo.

Yeah. Oh, sorry for Hugo straight up. You got to deal. Max, congratulations. LeBaron, McDonald's all American.

McDonald's all American. If, if Riko Bosco has anything to say about it, I've been hearing this guy's name a long time. Yeah. A lot for a long time.

I'm not happy about this, Max, because I've been documented as being a LeBaron

This guy's awesome. He's really, really good. Yeah, LeBaron. I think he's going to be a very, very good NBA player. You got a stud.

Sixer. Yeah. Sixer. The other draft thoughts, anyone know? I mean, the books did get Nate and Met tonight from, from that trade, and they also got

Frieden Burris who are like, yeah, I mean, I, like I said, the draft. It felt like it went pretty much how we expected it to go, and there's just a lot of good dudes that it's going to be interesting to see how this all shakes out. I do think that there's a, there's a chance that Darren Peterson might end up being the best player from the draft.

I believe that. It's, uh, it was very much a crapshoot, and you don't know exactly where you're getting based on the one year at Kansas.

And there's a huge downside potential if you take him first overall.

So I've no problem. I, I like to ban some things. It's going to be a great player. But I would not be surprised if Darren Peterson is like an absolute fucking legend. Uh, in a few years and you look back and you're like, how did that happen?

That would hurt. It would hurt. It would definitely hurt. But, um, you know, man in the arena.

“Yeah, that's what you, that, that is part of the privilege of having the number one”

overall pick. Yeah, is that you have to make that pick and you have to just live with it. Yeah. Also, that was why the, the both had the, like, whatever happened, those four guys. And I was like, I want Caleb Wilson, but if one of the other guys ends up there.

Great. I actually think he's going to be a really good person. I'm so excited for him. Uh, Zach, tell me about the rainbow face. Cause AJ debates and kept, he keeps doing the rainbow face waving his wrist in front of the camera.

So he's, he's referring to, uh, it's a, it's, uh, one more up a get, but it's, uh, factory frosted, uh, uh, with a rainbow bezel, all factory. Wanna watch. I'm going to watch.

It's a watch, yes. Okay. Okay. And it was in the guttison. Uh, gunna does have one.

Gunna has one, excuse me, has one. Hmm. I believe he has one as well. How much of these run? The factory frosted ones are like, like, 500.

Oh. Yeah. Okay. 500 bucks. Of 500,000.

Oh. We're about the fake ones. You can get like a really good AAA rep for like, probably 1000. All right.

“Zach, can you try to find me a, uh, like, the best looking fake rainbow face?”

I can, you sir. Okay. Thank you. Let me know what that runs me. Um, okay.

Anything else? By the way, the bulls, uh, have, uh, acronym slap. That that's just what we're doing. Size. Yeah.

Length. Athleticism. Physicality. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. Just, yeah. Lunga. Slap. Just the biggest guys you can find.

I like that. I like that. Tight matters. Is there any rumor about John Moran being traded? Is he on the move?

Who? I don't know.

Feels like he always might be.

I was talking to Teabob the other day. But he wants him on the pelvis. Yeah. He just keeps tossing out Teabob. He keeps tossing out a New Orleans scenario.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't think that's all. It was it. I thought it was a great draft.

I think great draft all around guys. The bulls, the wizards and the sixers all got better today. Like what the Grizzlies did. Yeah. Like what the Grizzlies did a lot.

Like what I mean the Thunder just like cheating at this point with the fact that they have. Also. Like I said, the Darysaicop is maybe my favorite player in the draft in terms of just watchability. The kings are going to be fun. Darysaicop.

Like that's a guy.

“That's what this draft has more than anything.”

PFT I have a question for you world cup. Yep is who's back a stand a real country who's back a stand is a moderately real country okay that seemed like preseason football that we watch today.

I don't know who played who's back a stand. I think they scored a lot of goals.

“But I would say anyone who scored a goal that you should actually feel bad for yourself for bully.”

Yeah, I mean there were some accusations and some people actually pointing out that players on his back stand might literally be plumbers. Okay, literally park time plumbers. Yeah, if you can imagine the amount of work that would go into his back a standing toilets. I imagine that would be more than a part time job. Yeah, pretty much a full time job. So who do they play they played against. So it was something that spoke Brazilian two teams that both made to the largest state stage in sports today Portugal and use back a stand played together in the world cup.

Okay, and how did Renaldo do? Renaldo did, I mean he played pretty well. He had two goals for country today. Oh two goals. Yeah, two goals for country. He's actually tied for Messi's worst game in the in the world cup. Is that you mean a brace or brace. Yeah, but he's tied for Messi's worst game.

Oh yeah, and these are two goals again. I believe that's correct in these early stages of the world cup. Currently meshes up a couple goals. I like to know it's a few. A couple is two. Couple two few is three. You are correct. So a few goals. He's up a light few.

Yeah. You know anything in handports got Columbia coming up next. Mm-hm. Looking forward to it. You know, we're all the really self selfless play today gets I mean fifth minute.

Go ahead puts one in feeling good. So does it again. He said, look, oh, we got a free kick right side of the box. Let's spread it around. Let's let the boys eat a little bit. I think that was a beautiful thing. I will give him this. That free kick from outside. That was a cool play.

Because everybody in the stadium thought Renaldo was about to kick it. And then probably under threat of being fired or worse. He had to let his teammate kick it. And then he did a good job. A very convincing job acting, pretending to be happy that his teammates go to goal.

Mm-hm.

“So what is pride? I got a question is, is that what that thing is throw was?”

It's an Adam's apple and he's got like a 10 out of 10. I think I think he might testosterone. No, I think he might have had some work done on the Adam's apple. Mm-hm. I think he might have shaved it.

No, like an Adam's apple implant. Got it. Yeah. Would you say that when an athlete says something like, I'm back. Okay. Guys, I'm back. Do you think that something this should be uttered after beating Uzbekistan?

Uh, it was double on back. So it's a, I'm back. I'm back. Right. So double back. The question is, it stays the same. I'm back for Uzbekistan group stage.

I mean, as a 41 year old, this corn is six world cup.

I mean, he's back. I'll always be back.

Mm-hm. No, you can't always double back. Are they only playing in Uzbekistan for the rest of the tournament? No, it would be Columbia now. Because they are playing Uzbekistan.

Another world class team. And then he might be back. If they just play Uzbekistan every week. I mean, the guys from Uzbekistan and great hustle out there. Maybe he was just, yeah, but he just tells his teammates like when he was going back on defense.

Oh, okay. No, that doesn't happen. He doesn't do that. He was making all the runs out today. He was? Well, a lot of the runs today.

Most of the runs on offense today he made. Mm-hm. There was like one where he probably could have got there and didn't get there. Do you do the celebration? Do you do the soup?

Yeah, the soup? I don't have the hand-eye coordination, but I do do it sometimes. What do you know, what does soup mean? I don't have direct translation, but it's fun to say. I think it means yes.

“I think it's so approachable in Brazilian.”

Or Brazilian, my bad, right? He scores a goal and then he just goes, yes. I'm happy for you, Zach, because it's like... It's, uh, it's, uh, it's, what was, what was Meadows, uh, Richard Priel? No, no, uh, Jackie Priel.

Jackie Priel and Tony Suprano in the bathroom when Tony says, "Put your hands up." Just put your hands up and fight me like a man. I needed that out of it all though. I needed a little fight. You had to put his hands up.

So, I'm happy he put his hands up today and there's at least a little fight out of him. I think he gets, he's better than today, the whole entire world knew he'd do nothing less. Right. Show up for country. Could have gotten a hat trick.

Selfless play today. Yeah. And then we had, I mean, the, the golden boot isn't sane, because messy scored two more goals. And Bobby scored two more goals. Great.

Holland scored two more goals. Great. It's pretty fucking nuts. Yeah. You've got an awesome world.

Holland could've had four goals last night. Yeah. He was all over the place. That was actually a, though, create his last goal where he was upset about how the play was going. Yeah.

And then it was like, wait a second, it's still going on.

Let me score this goal.

Norway's fans were awesome.

I had no idea that Norway's fans were going to be this cool. Yeah. They're incredible. And then today, the Ghana Witch Doctor worked, because Harry Kane bottled it. Is that a correct term?

And is it bottling? Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. And England ties Ghana 00.

So, so a witch doctor, a, a, a Ghanaian witch doctor said that she put a curse on Harry Kane. And he missed an absolute, easy layup. And, uh, I think it worked.

“I think the, I think the witch doctor worked.”

I think we should probably get the witch doctor on the show. Yeah. So the witch doctor, uh, was about. Well, Harry Kane was about seven, eight yards out. Traditionally, Harry needs to be inside the six.

Yeah. If you want to score. And then he just, uh, absolutely boggied it over the top. He smashed it and, as they say, in England, Senate and to Rose Z.

Yeah. And, uh, now a sec was right. The, uh, the witch doctor. I believe it's a man. Oh, uh, from from Ghana.

And, which crazy is in the African federations. They have rules against witch doctors. That's fair. Like, they're actual soccer organizations say, like, it is against the rules of soccer to have a witch doctor put a curse on an opponent for any reason.

Right. So he had previously cursed Ronaldo, which won't, which worked. Then he cursed Harry Kane today, which also worked. We need not only to get him on the show. I would like to hire this witch doctor as the tournament progresses.

Uh, uh, for any teams that the United States happens to be playing. I'm not going to figure out how to get this witch doctor.

“It's like, it's the modern day, little B.”

Can I see a picture of the witch doctor? The base god right here. There's just showing the, there he is. Uh-huh. And he also, he does the thing like the, uh,

Like the, like the Lebron chalk celebration before the games. That's crazy. I, I literally just got shown for being a reverse misogynist. The doctor was a man. But, but the witch, the witch was not a woman.

Yeah, but the doctor was a man. Yeah, but the doctor was a man. Yeah, I, I assumed the doctor was a woman. Yep. Well, good for you.

How stupid of me? Good for you. Yeah. That was, yeah, very progressive. Okay.

Anything else from, uh, the world cup that we got? It's been awesome. It's been awesome. I, I really enjoyed talking to Tim Reem today. I had, uh, kind of a realization of what,

Poach is doing to the steam and how he's being so effective. Poach is like tibs. A little bit more hair, but the knock against poach in the past. Which Tim's has more hair. Yeah, I think so.

You haven't seen a recent picture. Okay. Um, but the, the knock against him has been for his club teams that he, He, he runs him too hard. Grines works them too hard over the course of a season.

They get burnt out by the end of the year. This is the perfect scenario for a guy. Yeah, you can burn them out for soccer tips. You've got just a handful of games. Get fired up.

Get amped up, leave it all out on the field. And then, and then go on to whatever your next job is afterwards. Yeah. This is, um, I'm, I'm very optimistic about about what the team can do. And, uh, like you saw it happen in England today.

England's one of the favorites in the tournament. Any team can tie any team in this tournament. Yeah, ties are hot. Ties are hot right now. Yeah, I agree.

It's been, it's been fun to watch. All right. We're going to do Mount Rushmore of Hard to spell words. And then we have Hot Sequel Throne, Windham Clark, Tim Reim, and Guys On Chicks. What a show.

Okay. Mount Rushmore is brought to you by our friends at Microsoft. This segment is sponsored by Microsoft 365 co-pilot.

It is Mount Rushmore of what's the exact phrasing. Mount Rushmore of words that are hard to spell. Word that are hard to spell. Now, Zach and Hank are a team. How would you guys say you are spellers?

We'll save it for the honorable mentions, I think. But we had the brain swarm was all time. Yeah. I'm excited to hear the honorable mention. It's a stacked team for this draft.

It's stacked team. You guys, I'll say it's a tough thing to come up with as someone who's bad at spelling. Because usually when you're misspelled in the words, you think you got 'em, right? Yeah. I was just, I was like trying to think of words and typing them out.

And if I could spell it correctly, I wouldn't put it on my list. We did that too. I did. Yeah. But there's a lot of words to it.

They just trippy up. They just trippy up. Okay. Who's first? Is it the last?

Yeah.

We were in first last time.

We were second. That would probably mean were first. Or no, it'd be a second.

Yeah. Can you just move down? Yeah.

So that would mean you're second.

We're first. The first. No. No. He's first.

I was last last time. So you're second. Yeah. Got it. PFT's first.

He goes from third to first. We go on the second. Yeah. And then we go to third on Friday. I love it.

Okay. Yeah. All right. So we're on agreement. Yep.

Love my guys. All right. Love it. And then every three days. You guys got it.

Yeah.

“That's why I was going to this Mount Rush where we left.”

We left the fans on a cliffhanger last Mount Rushmore. Great. I think everybody's got a great attitude today. Hank came to this room. Just bright-eyed, bushy-tailed.

It's great to see him like this. PFT's a bad attitude all day, but I'm in agreement. Yeah. I'm. You've been lashing out.

I'm in a great place today. This is in all time. Do you have anything to turn around day for me? Have you been lashing out today? No.

I've been engaging in dialogue. No. I'm as max. Good old fashioned dialogue. Twice.

Twice. Twice. I don't know if you can say lash out when when when you started it. I didn't start one of them. I definitely started the other one.

I was telling everybody Max had make a bread. Yeah. Why are you saying that? I don't know why he means kept telling everyone to make a bread. People just like, hey, where's Max?

I'm like, I don't fucking. I was probably making a bread. Except except you left out the, I don't fucking know part. He's making bread in the kitchen. And so then I went to the kitchen and looked for Max.

Then he wasn't there. But he was in the kitchen making eating Italian food. Okay.

So that's basically making bread.

Yeah. Yeah. All right. PFT Europe first. Okay.

“I'm going to go with one one restaurant.”

Okay. I think it's the most common one. And it's the most commonly typed one. And I would say that like I get it correct about. Exactly 50% of the time.

And I've been typing restaurant for about 36, not 34 years. And trying to spell it. Yeah. I still can't do it right every time. I think it's an excellent pick.

Yep. I think that's my one one as well. Like I still can't spell it. Yeah. Big time.

What do we want to do, boys? We wanted to go one or two. I like to. You like to. Yeah.

One means you'd be the, you'd be the tiebreaker. I even wanted us to take pepperoni again. Yeah. Pepperoni would be hard words to spell. This is a tough decision.

It's up to you. You have to make the decision. Make it a decision. Make it a decision. Make it a decision.

Make it. Okay. Make up the one. I agree. Because one, you, you, you're not in practice.

You two, you spell weekly.

February is our first pick.

February. We just, you just don't spell it correctly. You forget the R. Oh, always forget the R. Always forget the R.

Okay. All right. You guys don't like it. Good. No.

That's fine. Because he's nodding his head. I get to get in a mocking way.

“I'm not, I'm not nodding my head in a mocking way at all.”

Okay. I was waiting for Hank to start to pick it apart. Not, that's, those days are gone. Okay. Kumbaya.

Great pick. Kumbaya. Kumbaya. That, actually, not bad. You can run that.

Take it up. If you pick Kumbaya right now, that would be all right. Yeah. Is that even a real word? Yeah.

It's a banger. That's not, doesn't mean to word. We're going to go with shooting in. Okay. All right.

Yeah. Yeah. That word's okay. That word's okay. And then Zach.

Kumbaya. Kumbaya. I feel a lot better about February now. Kumbaya. How do you spell it?

No. I just didn't know that's the direction that we were. Yeah. I just didn't do that. I just didn't do that.

No, I just didn't do that. I think it's P.S.E.U.D. Yeah. You don't mind that word. I just didn't mind that word.

I didn't say anything about you. I didn't say anything about I said, but I just feel better about February. That has nothing to do with what you said. Kumbaya. Yeah.

Kumbaya. Kumbaya. Kumbaya. All right. Zach.

Kumbaya. Kumbaya. Kumbaya. Kumbaya. All right.

Zach. Kumbaya. Kumbaya. Kumbaya. Kumbaya.

Kumbaya. Yeah. You want to go to? Yeah. All right.

We'll just stick with with the counter to have Zyla phone number two. No, we didn't. We'll stick with the counter. We'll go Wednesday. We screw up Wednesday all the time.

We're going to stick with the counter. We'll just screw that up. Just commonly. Just fucking up. Okay.

Good pick. Good pick. For my second. I'm going to say. Separate.

Mm-hm. On the list. Separate. I like your list, right? All right.

Cool down. All right. Yeah. It was good pick. It was on our list.

Good pick. And next one. I'm going to say definitely. Okay. Good pick.

That's a good pick too. Yeah. Max and memes.

I think 12 is funny.

“And we did spell it wrong when we were talking about it.”

Yeah. Yeah. You want me to say 12? Yeah.

I mean, I think we collectively say 12.

But we did. I think we. What? Based on the team after us when they pick. I think we could get it on the turn.

Oh yeah. You're right. That's good boy. What does that mean? What do you mean by that memes?

They're going SAT words. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I four is impossible.

But I don't. Whatever you guys want to do. I'm going with four. You like four? Yeah.

I tried to spell it. And I spelled it wrong. Yeah. Go four. Okay.

Rhythm. Yeah. I never get the H. That just doesn't exist in my book. Yep.

That's really tough one. And I even when I see it spelled out. I'm like, that's wrong. And then you want to float the Y sometimes. Yeah.

That's why I come before. Oh yeah. Yeah. Double Y. Rhythm.

Fux me up every time. Okay. Okay. On a monopea. Uh, no.

Conscious. Okay. On our list. There we go. Okay.

And then Zach. Pick any words Zach. Any words you want. Okay. We'd also like to take.

Okay. Me too. Yeah. Yeah. The reason why we didn't have KZR.

Or less is memes said KZD. And then I spelled it. I nailed it. First try. So.

All right. The last one is just a complete. Own of Max and myself. Uh, Max. Would you like to say it?

Because we did. We did the testing system for this. And we got it wrong. Uh, which says a lot about us. But go ahead.

Max. We're going to go with exercise. Exercise. Exercise. There should be a Z in there.

There should be a Z in there. So that's where we got. Great. There should be a Z in there. So that's where we got screwed up.

Because I tried to spell it out. And I spelled that E X C E R C I S E. I thought there was a C next to the X.

“And Max just kept on looking at saying, where's the Z?”

The Z should be in there. I was like, no, no, that's the house. It's both size. It's both size. There's a Z in there.

Exercise. Exercise. Exercise. It's, it sounds like E X C you're like X, exhuring your size. But okay.

Yeah. But don't your size. Yeah. Yes. You think of X.

You think of size and exercise. Like how big you go. I'm working on my size. Yeah. Yeah.

Whether you're trying to get smaller or bigger. Your exercise. Or maybe gaining your size. Yeah. Exercise.

I've never thought of that.

But yeah. That's, you make a great point. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to spell it with, I throw in the C after the X.

Yeah. Because it sounds like that. Yeah. Exercise. It should be Z.

But there also should be a C after the X. Exercise. Yeah. That's not, it's not exercise. Exercise.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, what the fuck?

So double misspelled.

“It's when the size you go C I Z E exercise.”

Yeah. Everyone's agreeing with with the Z. Well, I don't agree spelled it right. What? It's a good point.

Okay. Come by y'all. All right. Come by y'all. Is this the last pick?

Yeah. I'm going to go with the word misspell. Okay. Misspell is very hard to spell. MIS.

Two S. MIS. Double. It's two S's. MIS.

P-E-L-O. Yeah. Two S's. All right. Good Mount Rushmore.

Come by y'all. Look at me. Come by y'all. Yeah. I thought, I'll, I'll, I'll be honest.

I mean, Zach did a, I was like, you know, let's do one, one, one, three. What you think your one, one is he said Wednesday. I thought that was ridiculous, but you guys had it on your list. So I apologize Zach. Well, I, I was like, we can save that for the fourth round.

No one's taking that. Our plan is, we were, we were basically picking words that we used. Like, yeah, in a semi-common fashion and then we'll trip up. Like not, like there's words obviously there's words. If you do this spelling, be I don't think I get anything that the Indian kids get.

But I don't. Like they're just up there ripping words.

It's like, I'm never going to hurt it this word.

Originally with, with a pseudonym, I was saying pseudonym, but I thought that was going to get rejected because it's too, like, PFT commentary is a pseudonym. pseudonym. It, it is pseudonym.

Yeah. So that, that was a word that gets used. Like a decent amount. That was, that was, that was like, yeah. That's an alternate name that known to gear.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. All right. What do we got for auto-mounted booth back here? And then we can still hear mincey scream.

Oh, he's a ghost. Go yellow. I need to go see. Go yellow. He needs to tell him to shut it down.

Say it's the middle of the fucking day. People are working. Go. Yeah. That's how.

You have a full, full, say, I sent you. All right. Honorable mentions. Uh, necessary? Yeah.

That's, sorry, is a great one. That's a, sorry, fucks me up. Oh, this is good. Yeah, I mean, he's crazy.

I would say, um, I see, he's still young.

Did you pick conscious? No, you'd hate it. Yeah, that's a good pick cake. Uh, Shane told us for tissory. That was a good one.

Yep. Well, wait. He just said it. We didn't put it on our list. We didn't use it.

Yeah. Uh, on our list. And number 21, there's, uh, protein. Yeah.

“I believe that's the word because it spelled PROT.”

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Why don't you start off by giving us all your honorable match. I protein, protein's hard exhausted. It's hard. Several. Protein is PROT.

Yeah. Yeah. Wait. Several of the months. Yeah.

December. Okay. I don't know. That was pretty. I know that's not the case anymore.

That one's pretty. We had a tough time. We had to revert to spell like text to speech in the brainstorm. So it's tough. Okay.

The shootout, kind of sewer. Yeah. Sonami. Kind of source. Sonami.

Wrinkle. It's not bad. How do you usually do wrinkle? That was pretty interesting. Hi.

In this process. Yeah. I think of Zack as younger. And I'm guessing technology's been around. I don't know that he's ever spelled.

Yeah. He's got the swigly line. There's no need to spell. You just do want to. You talked about protein.

Yeah. Protein protein.

“Phonetics, which is kind of how means that live our life is phonetically.”

What about a license?

I always think it's an extra good lesson there.

Yes. Lessons a good one. Yeah. What was it? Very.

Very. Yeah. Like the A or Y. This is a very hard word called the IE a lot. Wait.

Does the. Very. Very. Very. V-A-R-Y.

It's either hit with the I-E. The V-E-R-I-E. Or you get hit with the very V-A-R-I. are you just saying like trying to say that this. Very good. No, he's acting like that. He's a variety or very. Like he's saying like this dinner was very good. He's he struggles with various the word before good. Knowing when to use the very as in this like this meal was very good or things can vary. Right. Those. That makes sense to spell those like very. But V. R. I. E for very.

But that actually doesn't make sense. I don't think I've ever done very. I'm going to give it. Let's get it. Come on. You got both varies down. So that's like I do like the bear there there. Yeah. That one that one stuff. I don't think very. No. You guys would put their in. It's not like. No, they're true. The thing is totally different. I don't think that there's any word in the English language that ends in I. Why. No, he said I. Why is one of them. Sometimes because why sometimes a value. Yeah, but I. But I. Why is it. That's too valid. Not a thing.

We're going to try that. Hey, you know, put it in your list. It was not an option. And that's fine. Tournament. I was just a attorney. I actually would like to. I'm more interested in. Yeah, no, we didn't hear it all. There's a diarrhea diarrhea is going. Yeah, one could pick memes kept on saying diarrhea. We had four cast. Okay, philanthropy resource. Keep going. That that was pretty much it. We covered most of it.

“I was going to try and get McConaughey in there. But yeah, what was forecast there?”

What's going on with forecast? I got forecast on here. FRE CST. Correct. And what was it? I just miss the E. Yeah. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, I like a lot of guys put too many E's where they don't need to be and then not enough E's where they're supposed to be. Yeah, it's just kind of guess what's our resource resource. I think I got down. My, my really dumb one is. No, Zach, you said resource. Oh, you, how would you smell resource?

Well, I got it right here, RES. Oh, you RCE. Yeah, but how would you miss Spell? Yes. It would be RES or C. Okay, yeah, yeah. What about, um, you're actually like, I actually think hearing a lot of your spelling, I think you're just an efficient speller.

Because you're basically like, hey, this OU, there's no, there's no need for OU. Just make it a no.

Okay, caught up Spell and things that they sound, which you can't do. Right. What about, uh, farf. Farf. Farf. Farf. Farf. Farf. Yeah. Farf. Right. Um, embarrassed. Yeah. Is it top point? Yeah, I think we had that. Receive. Is it top one? Yes. Disappear. Disappears. I screw up the double S. Double Cs. Yeah, it's only one S. You know, I think might be the hardest word to spell, but nobody ever spells it. Like, I don't think of ever actually written this word, but it's crazy to spell. Paragative. I'm not spell. No, no, no. I've never, I've never written it before my entire life. Yeah, I'm not saying that. It's P-R-E-R-O-G-A-T-I-V-E. Pretty much impossible to spell right the first time.

Like, I'll spell coach or couch, and I'll just be like, wait, what did I get that right? And I just, I don't know what it is, Bob. Those can be interchangeable. Yeah, right. Right, because you're just, you're just swapping out a letter.

We don't, um, thank you, got any honorable mentions.

Uh, Mr. Viz, bonnet, bonnet, bononia, bonnet is. Bonnet is okay.

“For Shuto, surveillance, I think we said, connoisseur we said yogurt, resource. Yoke, how do you spell yogurt?”

Zach, how do you spell yogurt? I didn't throw that one out. The yogurt is Y-O-G-E-R-T yogurt. Yep. [laughter] This is honorable mentions, not spelling being. We're doing honorable mentions. Yeah. Swenie's hard. What? Swenie? I said McConaughey. Swenie. Sydney, Swenie? Yeah, I could caught type in IE at the end of that a lot. [laughter]

That's E-Y, though. I don't think she, she's not the one that's hard. Yeah, what, what? Yeah, true. That's right. Why, why, why, why, why, why, why. Yoke, it was not spelled correctly the way you spelled it. Max, after the reaction of how I spelled yogurt, the outward laugh, I did, I was able to, context-close. Yoke is the, all right, I, I like to bow out of spelling.

No, I, I like this. This is kind of interesting. Like the, the, somewhere the Y and the IE became an interchangeable piece.

It's the sometimes Y, so you don't know when the sometimes A, they never get to that part.

But it's sometimes Y that I before the E, no, that's, that's like an F or E except after C. That's right. But there, there is, there's a couple words that, that doesn't, that doesn't work. Yeah, no, what, what exact say is like, why can't be a vowel? Yeah. Like in the word, why, W H Y. I think hooked on phonics might be a scam. You got to live and die by the squiggle. You just go out. Yeah. I see what you're saying. Okay.

“The, yeah, the squiggle, the squiggle is huge.”

It's really spelling just doesn't matter anymore because if you just got this squiggle. Well, memes, what did Minty say to you when you yelled at him? But it was actually a scene outside because they're doing a live stream for the World Cup game. There was five people trying to get him to stop and he just wouldn't, he just wasn't, did he stop? Locked in. He was finishing his workout. No, is he still going? No, he's done now.

I, bloodmen record the entire thing. McCarthy was yelling at him and like four other guys to stop. He's the worst. He's the absolute worst. For a long time, my auto-correct was so screwed up from my tweets and shit that it would actually correct things that were spelled correctly into being spelled and correct. Mm. And went the opposite way.

Where it became harder to spell him at? Is that the worst when you, when you, uh, capitalize something that just stays capitalized? Yeah, under text message, that socks. Yeah. You know, like, I didn't really be to do that.

There's a thing on spell check. We, if you actually hit, I think it's like, forget or never mind.

It'll just continue to allow you to spell that word like that forever. That's, yeah, that's unreal.

“That's what happened with me for a long time. And it was on like, oh, every single word that we mentioned today.”

I've lost all ability to spell correct the first time because I've opted out of spell check. I should've said leprechaun. Ooh, that's good word. We did that spelling BS spelled there on three times in a row. Leprechaun's the tough word.

Without Coco. Coco's the tough word. C C O C O A. Yeah. Donny member, Donny fucked that up.

What about, um, fucking A, man. F U C. K I N G A M N. Yep. The capital A maybe. And then, uh, comma after the A.

Yeah, this isn't, this isn't grammar. So I thought you were spelling. How do we think that went? That was Cumbaya. Cumbaya.

Cumbaya. Very Cumbaya. - Okay, you, MBA YA. - KU-M-B-Y-E. - Yeah. - Max is spelling a K-O-O-M-B-A-Y-I-E-A.

- What are you doing Max? - Max, what are you doing? - Kumbaya. - It does a good amount of rest for it. - Good, good topic, Hank.

- That was good, good job. - Someone emailed, actually, the, her name is Mackenzie, she's emailed me. - That's tough, name to spell. - So she probably is front of mine.

- Tough birth, I don't remember. - Appreciate that Mackenzie. Definitely send us some more Mount Rushmore topics. We'd love to hear all of 'em. Okay, it is real weird, by the way.

Okay, let's do hot seat, cool drone. Check this out, I got the American do-can right here 'cause summer is coming, and I can't wait to get my backyard, do some grill and play with my kids, and drink some Mountain Dew.

Nothing goes better than grilling with the boys,

that were freshing citrus kick of Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew is proudly born in the foothills of Tennessee, and enjoy the refreshing citrus kick of Mountain Dew, an American original, grab a do, taste and grate, since 48, go get a Mountain Dew today, we love Mountain Dew.

Thank you, Mountain Dew, the American do-cans are incredible.

So go get one, and celebrate America. Taste and grate, since 48, Mountain Dew. - Okay, Hank, your hot seat, cool drone. - My hot seat are just people that are anti-international

“football games, 'cause I think, you know,”

we can all agree this world cup's been electric, the international, you know, support and people in America has been great, especially the Scotland faithful in Boston for the first couple of games.

So much so that Robert Crap is now lobbying with the NFL to get a Patriot's Game in Scotland. So that's how successful this world cup has been, is that despite the fact that there's already so many international games, NFL owners want more.

- Well, yeah, no, they want more. That's the whole thing. We know that. - We know that. - The owners want more because it's about expanding

how much money.

- But once you say that the having an international,

the most popular international sport being played in America has grown the game in America, was that fair to say? - Yeah, I think it's fair to say. - So it kind of proves the point that having more international games football and internationally

will grow the game of football is what we all want. - Yeah, it was, it was like in soccer, we're having an international tournament here. In American football, we're having two teams that both play football in the United States,

whose home cities pay tax money to get them to build new stadiums in those cities, leave the entire country for a week. And then they play football at a weird time zone, a bunch of people that are there. - Or a weird time zone

for these fans. - And then they come back to where the actual teams are based. It's not like when we go over to Scotland, it's because we have a game against Aberdeen, it's because we're taking two teams from the United States

and putting them in Scotland. - You're also missing a key part of this is I don't give a fuck about the expansion of the NFL. - Which is, that's just so messed up. - No, it's really not.

It's our sport. It should be played on our soil. It should be played on the time. - If your football grows, the bigger this podcast grows, it's good for everyone.

- It's good for everyone. - Playing a super role in London, you're going to just be having the best time of your life is going to make me sick. - But the game will grow.

And that's, as a football,

“die hard, that's what matters the most to me.”

- Mm-hmm. - Can you imagine, imagine how much golf Hank would play if the Patriots went over to Scotland for a week? - They'd probably die weather. - Uh, depends when they play the game.

- Yeah, I mean, it's always going to be the depends on when they play.

- Yeah, yeah. And then my cool throne is the 2016 calves. They've been doing like there. They're reunion trip. And as much as I hated that team, as much as I don't like

who brawn, it's been fun to watch. They've been, I feel like they've been doing it right. The 10 year anniversary, content's been fun to watch. They've been on like, it seems like they've been on a trip for a month.

- Yeah, it looks like a great time though. - But yeah, it's been fun to follow. - Yeah, Delhi showed up. - Yep, what teams do you think should be allowed to do a 10 year anniversary trip?

- Should be everyone? - I mean, like the Cubs. - Cubs, yeah. - That's, that's going to be a big one. - Reson, and Ross is podcast good and they're doing a live show.

I think in a couple weeks here in Chicago. - Yeah, there's, there's definitely some teams. This one is definitely one of them. - Like the 2016 calves, that was. - Yeah, like I guess at the 2017 wars, did it?

- Yeah, like the 2019 Raptors went to England to play golf for a week, I don't know. - It'd be really weird. - But in 2016, 2026, next could definitely do a 10 year anniversary.

“- Yep, you have to be like a team of the decade,”

I think, in order to do that. - Correct. - I could see the next poem that off. - Well, the 2016 calves, the team of that decade? - No, 'cause the Warriors won three titles.

- But the beat the team of the decade. - They did beat the team of the decade. - So the next beating the Celtics last year, that could be the beating the team of the decade. - Well, no, because that wasn't in the championship.

- That was a pretty early on last year. - And the spurs couldn't. - And up being the team of the decade. - Yep. - So the next beat them, so they get to do it.

- True. You guys have to wait and see. - Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm. - Okay, Pifty.

- My hot seat is Gino Smith. Gino Smith's on the hot seat. The cops showed up at his place after I guess his girlfriend called 911, and she said on video, he can't be left alone.

I guess she was referring to the child. He can't be left alone with Gino, because he'd rather watch sex online and play Call of Duty about Gino Smith. So Gino Smith allegedly jack-in-off

Can't look after a kid. And I found out not from the part of my take Twitter account, which I maybe, that was my mistake for thing that's where I would learn this news from. I found it elsewhere online.

So I didn't know if anyone had any more context to it. Are you saying our Twitter account didn't report anything? - Didn't report it any of it. - I'll just think about the kids. - Yeah, yeah.

- Yeah, in a legit situation that you probably think about the kids.

- Think it always gets good.

- Right. - So were you ever gonna report it or? - Well, it was reported by a Shannon Sharps burner account. - Oh, okay. - It's not like the post.

- No, that's not, yeah. - Has anyone written about it? - Yeah, I'm reading a pretty long article here. - Mike Florio. - A TMZ NFL and ESPN reported it.

He's being invested. - Yeah, ESPN did too. - Mm-hmm. - Okay. - Well, that was today.

“- Right, that's what I'm reading about it.”

- Yeah, but have we tweeted anything? - No, I thought we were on a loud. - What? - For alleged situations. - That's actually, you can't say that to me.

- No, I don't. - What's up, memes? - Are we allowed to tweet about alleged situations with sidepieces? - Oh, I wouldn't know.

It's been about the side bit.

I was finding my jacket off and playing video games. - Oh, all right. There's worse things to do in the world. - Yeah, there are worse things to do. - Agreed.

On that, we can agree, memes. - All right. - That's why I thought the whole jack-and-off, Call of Duty, it was funny. - Well, I think he just has a crazy ex-girlfriend.

- It's possibility. - For sure. - We're gonna let the facts come out. - I'll let the facts come out. - Okay, all right.

- All right, so I look forward to the facts coming out about that. - We will all check out the facts when they come out. - And then my cool throne is Cal Pitt. Cal Pitt's just got an extension. - Nice, so he signed a three year extension

with the Atlanta Falcons. I think he's gonna be really good. I'm all in on Cal Pitt's right now. - I think what he's got is six touchdowns. - Six touchdowns, he's going what? - He got six last year, he got five last year.

- He got five last year. - Six this year, seven next year, eight year after that. At the end of the year, he looks so good. Cal Pitt is a beast. I am fully, fully back all in on Cal Pitt's.

- And then my other cool throne is the P.J. Tour. - Yeah, what's cool about with that? - So they got Tiger involved and there's two distinct lanes, now, for golfers,

“which is, I guess that's why they want a tiger”

in charge of everything. - Yep, so rumble strip in the middle? - No rumble strip, okay. - So you can go back and forth between the two lanes. - Got it.

- You can even straddle the two lanes. - Got it. - Which is what, yeah, Tiger is the expert on this. So he talked about it a little bit today. And I guess there's gonna be a relegation, right?

Now they got the corn fairy tour, then the P.J. Tour. What they're going to do from what I've read is they're going to make a limited field, like 75 or so. - From the money. - From the money, huh? - It's 120.

- Oh, for the main tournaments? All right, so it's a limited field for the main tournaments. And then there's kind of like an underfield for every other tournament. So for the big ones with the giant purses,

it limits it to just the top, I guess I said, 120. And then everybody else, that's where it is currently. - Right. - Everyone's now are 75 person field with no cuts. They're doing away with that.

But there's gonna be basically, like 120 people

in the main tour, like I think it's the Champions Tour. And then there's gonna be 120 person field in the Challenger's Tour. And still the corn fairy tour. So like, there's no sponsors exemption.

So like right now, like a lot of these events, like people that aren't in the top, 120 can still get into these tournaments by sponsors exemptions. No more sponsors exemptions. You have to be in the top 120.

If you're not in the top 120, you can play your way in mid-season through the Challenger's Tour. - Right. So they made two divisions out of the... - There's like a minor plan. - And it's more than it's like baseball now

where there's multiple minor leagues and not just like corn fairy tour than the entity or you can earn your PGA tour card. There's more of a, you can, if you're in that, 100 to 140 range, you can kind of bounce back and forth.

- Yeah, if you're in the PGA tour range, you can stay in there just not get to the main tournaments with a giant person. - They also did like, which I appreciated. I don't, we'll see how it goes.

They did like a future us, the tour championship. They just said they wanna host them at like top five courses like Pine Valley, Cyprus Point. Like they said they wanna try and do that. But there's probably no chance they're gonna be able.

- Right. - But they're like, yeah, in the future, right now, the championship's played at like East Lake Atlanta, but going forward, we're gonna try and do like Pine, like they just, they just kinda just threw it out there.

“- They also said that I think towards the end,”

they're gonna do match play to see who wins at the end of the year. - Yeah, or like there's gonna be a match play championship in addition. - Yeah, there will be match play involved

in the format at the end of each season. - Just, explain to me again in three years. - Two years. - Two years? - I think next year.

- 2028, I thought. - It might be next year. - Oh, okay, explain to me again next year.

- Okay, yeah. - So I got a couple of years. - Two years. - Yeah, then I'll get ready for it. - Okay, my hot seats.

I've got two, the first is Brendan Sorsby

because they're not doing this supplemental draft for the NFL. And that means Brendan Sorsby is not playing football this year. - Or no, can he be, he can't be signed as a free agent. - Can he go back to Texas Tech?

- I don't know. No, I think they've pretty much, it was understood that he's not gonna play college football next year. - Can he play in the CFL or the UFL? - UFL?

- That's crazy. - UFL. - I feel like he's gotten the worst advice every step of the way. - Yeah, I mean, I don't think that he thought

that the NFL would just say we're not gonna do the draft. - And I don't think any, he could have come out before all this stuff. So he probably got advice being like it's not a big deal. And then he got the advice being like,

hey, we'll get a different judge

and those say two games never will be cool with it.

That was bad advice as well. So Brendan Sorsby you're gonna have to wait a year. - Yeah, and also in the letter that the NFL sent him, it was pretty much like, hey, you waited too late. I noticed that you filed your application three days

before the deadline. That's kind of cutting it close. And you sought to avoid the consequences of that determination through litigation rather than accepting responsibility for your own actions.

That feels like the NFL just doesn't want him playing. - Yeah, it feels like it was just, the teams got together and they're like, we have to try to take a stand against this. - Yeah.

“- If college football is not gonna do anything about it?”

- Yeah, they got him on its second calorie. - But now it's like, will he be able to sue the NFL for keeping him out of the supplemental draft? I think that, I think Brendan Sorsby just needs to sue his way out of this.

- I think he just needs to, yeah, just be like, hey, you know what, I'm gonna be in the courtroom. - Keep filing lawsuits until you win. You're gonna be on the field, I'll be in the courtroom. My other hot seats is Kent State football program.

I don't know, this probably went under your guys radar because he is a zero star commit, but still Toledo. The Toledo rockets have gotten the commitment from Kentston Staten, a high school football player from Ohio.

His name is Kent State, damn, and Kent State didn't get him. That's tough. - Kentston Staten, that's really, really hard. - How do you not get it? - Just the money that you might have gotten at Kent State

in in I.L. - What do they screw up? It's his name, Kentston State. - Did they not allow him in? - No, he had a visit, he got an offer from Kent State.

He turned him down. - Jesus. - Is that not insane? - Yeah, that's tough. That's a tough break for that guy.

- I feel like he might, look at this. - Kentston State, Glenn, and his nickname is Kent. Now, his name is Kent State. - I could see somebody doing this to their kid trying to get them a scholarship to LSU at one point.

- Yeah. - I mean, like, yeah, I named my boy Tiger. - Yeah. - And then LSU being like, that's not gonna work. - This is tough for Kent State, come on.

- You got it, Kent State.

“You have to get, especially in your state.”

You have Kent State in your state. Kent State in your state, you don't, you don't get him. - This is the worst thing in Kent State history. - Easily. - All right, my cool throne is college basketball

because Dusty May is going to the pros. And listen, I was making some jokes. I was trying to help out our good friend Dave, because it's brutal that he lost his coach. I was thinking about any way we could keep Dusty May.

That was obviously for Seasius Dusty May's an awesome coach. And I'm happy he's out of the big 10 and I'm happy he's out of college basketball, because he probably would have kept dominating. And he's had one of the craziest rises

in all of coaching history. The fact that it was FAU three years ago and now he's the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. After winning a national title at Michigan, I also did see that he had a summer camp on Monday,

like right after. It was like Dusty May's coaching camp. And it was at the Chrysler. And that's tough day to be camp counselor there. That would be tough.

Trying to explain what's going on. And then are they going to get an interim coach?

“Yeah, they do. They have, I think he was on staff.”

I believe it's pointin' from Oklahoma State. And look, I'm just gonna say, I'm almost says Dusty May great coach and happy he's out of the conference. And it's in no way we're that Michigan keeps winning

national titles in the coach's league. What happens when episode all the guys that he got from the portal? I think there's just a, I think a lot of people are going on. Yeah, there was an article going around

about Dusty May talking about how he hated, you know, having to do the college football transfer portal or college basketball transfer portal and dealing with agents and stuff.

I like Dusty May just always wanted to coach in the NBA.

Remember we had this like two months ago? Remember he had the quote that he's like, I'm not interested in any other, it was when the UNC job was up. He said I'm not interested in any other coaching,

college basketball coaching jobs.

just college basketball.

“So, yeah, I think he was always gonna do this.”

I'm a little shocked that it happened this fast, but he gets a chance to coach Cooper Flag. Why would he take that chance? Yeah, I've just heard about how frustrated he's been with the transfer portal stuff to the point

where he was, like he couldn't even count who was gonna be on his team. He was getting frustrated dealing with agents. But now I guess he doesn't have to deal with agents as much. I guess now there's people who's full time jobs

are dealing with agents all the time. Yeah, and you've got more ironclad contracts. I guess that was a big reason for it. This is from when, when is this from? Is from a couple months ago?

I think it's the UNC job play it. Teddy's that he's not looking for any other college basketball jobs. Do you think that that was a, hmm, that's interesting? Why didn't he say all coaching jobs?

Because he's going, I think he will be an NBA coach of the day. I think he wants to be an NBA coach someday. Yeah. He's a mastermind.

Here's the thing, here's the thing

with the complaining about the agents and transfer portal stuff that I don't buy. You just want a national title with a dominant dominant team that was built through the transfer portal. So you're like, oh, I hate this thing,

but also I'm dominating with it. Yeah, so, okay, just say you wanted to coach the NBA. You wanted to coach the NBA. You always wanted to coach the NBA. It's probably a better life.

You get paid probably more. Actually, I don't know. You might not get, I don't think you get paid more. That might not be true. But it's, you know, it's guys are competitive.

They want to coach the top level, just say that. Not, oh, this transfer portal and dealing with agents sucks. Also, I'm really good at it. And I could just keep doing it dominated. I mean, also in the history of the NBA in college,

but how many coaches have gone from college to the NBA and have it be like super successful? Not a ton. And they stay there. Proceeds.

Brad Stevens, did you think they made them say no? Michigan? Yeah, probably not yet. They will. They will.

“Right, do you think that Maverick's made him say no?”

Maybe. Yeah, they had to. Brad Stevens. They did make John Shire or say no. They did.

He's staying at Duke, Larry Brown, Larry Brown, probably the only one I can think that was like awesome in the NBA after coaching in college. Yeah, I mean, Billy Donovan did not with the bulls. Well, with the thunder was, I mean,

you know, there's some good teams. Yeah. Um, I'm trying to think. It's just like, it's not, same thing with, with football. It's not a surefire win for somebody like a really,

really good college coach to go coach in the NBA. But I do think that they're probably more prepared now than they used to be. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, the leagues are very, are very similar.

But yeah, there's also a lot of Repetino, John Calpari. There's a lot of guys who it did not work out for when they went to the NBA and they realized, oh, shit, there's a little different. Because, yeah, I mean, guys are going to, it's just different.

They always, you know, they always talk about,

hey, they're pros and cons, but they're really not still. Like they are, but they are. And now it's a different, it's a different level. So the, the Mavericks have the ninth overall pick tonight. We've recording this before the draft happened.

That's going to be interesting to see what, how much of us say he has in the draft pick, the day that they hired. Oh, he's got some of his guys. He does.

He's got a bunch of his guys. Zack finished soft. Oh, my, how to see this week is going to be Emotent O'erler fans because they, they announced a new head coach, former Columbus Blue Jacket's coach. It's going to be Mike, Mike, Mike, Bob, Babcock, Mike.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep. I would just say, I'm just hearing some things and he might be a weird guy, you know. Yeah, he's got some, he's going through phones. He's put an eye clouds on projectors. He's got some past.

He can't feel too good about that as far as like locker room culture. Yeah, yeah. He's a hard ass. Maybe a weirdo. Maybe everyone hates him.

But hey, he's coaching the oilers now. I bet, they got a superstar on that team. Don't they? They do. Like a guy that probably wouldn't take too kindly to somebody go into their phone.

Mm-hmm.

“Why don't all these photo shops of you as a Tampa Bay lightning player in here?”

Interesting. What does that mean? Interesting.

Would you guys go leave phone in the car or would you get a second hockey phone?

If Mike Babcock, if Mike Babcock was now my new head coach, I would definitely get a burner phone. And just that would be the one I would show up to the facility every day. And it would just be like, it just like, I just, this is Mike Babcock is written a book. Like it'd be like, you know, the only browser thing is just open to buying his book.

It's the open to Kindle and just that's it. Or if you're looking to get a trade out of town, maybe you just have a bunch of photo shops with Mike Babcock on your phone. Mm-hmm. What's the map on this projector?

Yeah. That's not bad, but it would kind of like that move. And then he gets embarrassed. He's like, I got to trade this guy. Yeah, this is weird.

Yeah. Okay. Good hot seat. In my quilth room this week is going to be a quilth room guys who don't like Floyd Mayweather because allegedly Floyd Mayweather may have scammed his last scammed German.

Oh, no. He's out of scams. What happened? So he, a lot of times when Floyd runs into these money trouble, it's like a civil court or like some other kind of crimes he's able to like get to get done with with lawyers this

time. They're they're coming after him with felonies boys. Oh, no. There's a 18 months ago. He wrote a bad check to a jeweler, New Year's Eve, to get to watch for about 200,000.

18 months later he's still not responding to him and they're coming after him.

Even though he's allegedly earned like $1.2 billion throughout his career.

All right. I'll say it. I'll say it. You bring up a good point here, Zach. I'm sorry to think Floyd Mayweather might not be a good guy.

Might be that guy, but he might have to pay for it this time, though.

“We're going to let more facts come out, right, memes?”

Got to let all the facts. Oh, my, every fact. I will not, I will not make a full assessment until every fact is out. How do you, how do you spend $1.2 billion? Unfallible.

I have no idea. How is that possible? Like he, his full time job is just figuring out ways to spend money. It's crazy. I don't even know where you keep that kind of money to go to it to spend it.

Let's just say he probably, after taxes, actually he doesn't strike me as a big tax guy, either.

Let's say he made 800 million after the taxes that he did pay.

How do you spend $800 million in what 20 years, 25 years? How long has he been active? There's guys online doing the math trying to figure out what his like ticket per month is. And it's like roughly 3 million a month he's spending. That's crazy.

It's just on like reoccurring mortgages, car notes, stuff like that. He's got to like, he's got to rent the most expensive house in the world. Then he's selling those properties, but then he has like jumbo loans on those properties. So he's selling them for less than what the loans are on. Yeah.

So then yeah, not good. Good. Not good.

“Up to 20 years if he's convicted of the bad check for the AP.”

Is he crying in the center of you? He's crying. I don't know that would be some of some else. Yeah. Uh, good hot sea cool throne boys.

We got some great interviews. Got wind him Clark and then Captain America, Timory from the US Men's National Team. So let's get to that. Come here.

Get to wind him Clark in a second.

He's brought you by Pepsi. I got Pepsi zero sugar right here. I'm going to crack one open. That sounds awesome. Doesn't it?

Nice. Got taste. Great. Too. It's the best tasting zero sugar.

Cola. That's just a fact. We've tested it. In fact, America's tested it nearly 2/3 of Americans in the nationwide blind taste test. But for Pepsi zero sugar, it is way better than any other zero sugar brand out there.

For soccer fans gathering around the world and gathering around food, Pepsi is the match day beverage that brings out the best and every bite. Watching soccer eating food is delicious when you got with Pepsi. That's like scoring a last minute game winner. Just taste better.

Soccer deserves Pepsi. Food deserves Pepsi. And now here's a good friend. Wind him Clark. Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest.

He is the US Open Champion, Wind him Clark, fresh off of his victory on Sunday. It's Shinnecock. Wind him. First of all, congratulations. Two times US Open Champ, that's some rarefied air that you've now entered into.

“But I think the first question I was going to ask, the most important one, dude, people”

fucking hate you. Geez, why don't you just, you know we don't hate you, we don't hate you, we don't hate you. We had your back. I mean goodness, I, yeah, I, I don't know why they, I mean, I know I've done some

things, but jeez, hate is a strong word. So we were, we were hypothesizing a Monday show and I think that part of the, the reason why you had such a weird experience on Sunday. And it was totally out of control, what actually was in your control, is that you just had such a big lead.

And like I know there's a lot of people that just want to see, they pay a lot of money to go to a golf event, they get the by the Sunday ticket, they want to see fireworks, they want to see, you know, two guys really close to each other. I know it got a little tight, but I think that was part of it is just that you were had such a big lead that people were like, well, we want to see some, you know, we want

to see some good golf. So that wasn't your fault. Yeah, I mean, on Saturday definitely, I mean, I'd miss a pot and people would say, yeah, like, yes, or give them a chance when, you know, whatever. So I definitely heard that part, because, and I get that, like, hey, if someone wins

by less as Tiger Woods, people want to see it close, right? Right. Why I get that part, but, you know, yelling for my body going on the bunkers. Yeah.

weekend long where you were, you know, we had Max Homan a Monday, too, and he said that that shot you made on 16 on Saturday. That was, that was a shot that was like, Tiger Esk in the fact that you're not, you're not just trying to protect the lead. You're trying to go for the throat, and you're trying to actually win this tournament.

“And I think a lot of guys in your spot probably wouldn't have made that shot, wouldn't”

have taken that shot. Did you have that mentality of like, hey, I know I'm up six strokes, seven strokes, but this

is go time, and we gotta make sure that this is basically put to bed.

Yeah, I was trying, oh, I love it. Yeah, we got three. We're open and I'm sorry. I already, already got, I'm serious. Cheers to, cheers boys to, to US Open.

Incredible. Yes. Thank you. That's a million. That's good.

That's good. You're still living like so. So important. Hey, you got some red stuff, I like that. Yeah.

Yeah, we got the good stuff. Yeah, I was actually trying to get to, I was trying to get to double digits, honestly, and on Friday, I really thought I could've gotten there, and then Saturday, you know, I made some mistakes to, you know, it could've been a lower round. And my whole thing was, instead of thinking about my lead, I was trying to get to a number

and be like, okay, if I get to 10, 11, 12, under, I could be hard to catch, unfortunately didn't happen. But that's, I feel like that's what I was thinking on 16. Hey, I'm not just trying to keep the lead, I'm trying to, you know, extend this lead. Yeah.

What were your thoughts when you got up to the ball on 16? When you saw the lie to the left of the fairway, because I was at Nassaube, yeah. Nassaube, yeah. Nassaube hooked at you hit, and it, it was in the fescue, and I think bone said, like, this is a terrible lie.

This is horrendous. Herendous as bad as it gets, and then you walk up there, you're like, I think I can get a club on it.

“I think we need to pass that bunker, like, what did you see when you saw that ball?”

Um, yeah, I mean, the all week, the lies have actually been not bad, like you walk up and go on norm in the long grass, and then you can, you know, you get to the ball and you know, like, okay, we're, we're going to advance this. It might be a jumper, or whatever. That one actually did look bad.

The good thing that is, I could get to the back of the ball and, for, a golfer, as long as you can get to the ball first, you know, you can advance it, and that's what I was able to do. Now, you know, maybe it was kind of a dumb shot in that moment, but I'm like, I, I, I really thought I could do it.

And it was one of those decisions that maybe if it did work out, that'd probably be one of my big regrets, but, you know, fortunately, I pulled it off and was able to make a birdie on that one. Yeah.

And your, your powder was incredible all week, and I saw the scrambling stats.

Like, that was, that was the gritty part of your win that I, I, I thought people need to give more credit to you. Did you have a feeling at any point during the term you're like, oh, shit, this, this thing is hot. Like, I am, I'm dialed in on this powder because it felt like every single time that

it was going to maybe dip, oh, he's got a 15 footer. You would just nails on those pots. Yeah, I mean, on those greens, it's really hard to feel like you're making a lot of pots, but I think relative to other people I was, if that makes sense. Yeah.

But yeah, I mean, my powder saved me by, for sure saved me. I mean, I, I, I chipped a lot close and give me, but I also had so many kind of five to 12 footers for par and I was, you know, more often than not making it. And it's, it's huge when you make those from momentum, right? Like, it just keeps it going.

And you're like, okay, I'm good. I didn't give one up. I didn't give one up. And, you know, the guys I played with with missiles and you could just see the momentum, kind of turn against them and I was able to keep it, you know, going for me.

Yeah. And then after you win, there was that moment we got to see on TV where you saw your dad. So we knew that your dad was there because the camera showed them, they're like, yeah, he took the red eye in, wind him doesn't know that he's at the tournament yet. What was that like when you saw him for the, did you have any idea at all that he was

going to be there? No, no, my, my dad hasn't made it to any tournament I've won.

And, you know, the first open I won, he wasn't there, which, you know, is such a funer.

But this one he, you know, he was and I was completely shocked and I was also super excited because we got to share that moment, especially on Father's Day, you know. Yeah. What better gift I could give my dad is he's seen me through all the years and all the hard work and he's helped me get to where I met.

So it was great to share it. And so we were talking about this as well, if you have a three stroke lead, does he take a red eye? Did you ask him that?

“You're like, hey, Dad, thanks for coming, but six strokes, that's what that was the”

bar that you needed to get out on a flight. Yeah. I mean, I don't know, I, I'm just glad he was probably freaking out because he's like, Holy smokes, I came and he was at six six strokes ahead and now it's only one, you know, I didn't want him to think it was his fault.

So I'm glad I won. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, I think I think the six strokes made him feel confident. Okay, my son can pull this off. Yeah, to do it.

Going into, it was a really cool moment enough, Father's Day. It was just awesome that he was able to surprise you like that. Going into Sunday, did you happen upon any of the stats?

type of lead and the only one to blow was Greg Norman.

“Had did you did any of those like, reach your brain?”

No, I honestly, I turned off like any social media. Yeah, I was almost on even texting friends and family like, I whoever I was with in the house that I was staying with, that's all we did. I didn't really look at my phone.

I had a million text messages and just didn't look, you know, I figured nothing's going

to really benefit me. That's smart. I didn't know. You don't have one friend because I would unfortunately be that friend who'd be like, hey, I saw this that on the like saturday, you don't have one guy like that.

That's a good group of friends. Yeah, I mean. Yeah, I, I, I, I probably did. I haven't gone through all my text messages, but yeah, I, I, I have friends like that that point out like, hey, you almost blew the biggest lead out of it, but so I mean, that's

why I didn't look because I do have friends like that. Yeah, that's smart. What would you say to the haters out there, not us, but the, the haters that are out there that say this, congrats on winning your first US open because LA Country Club was Mickey Mouse.

This is, this is, this is, this is like the, the levels, some, like, we enjoyed it so

much because it watching people melt down online about you winning was so funny to us.

That was a real thing like being like, yeah, he wanted LACC and we didn't like that course. So that, that didn't really count. Yeah. Well, it counted to me. Yeah.

I would say the validation of like, hey, sometimes you can win one and people think, oh, that's a fluke, when them, that was a fluke thing. Winning two, I don't know if you can really say it's a fluke, especially on this golf course, going against the, you know, a really heavy top leader board with some of the best players in the world.

Yeah. That's a really good answer. In fact, good process. Good process. Yeah.

That's a really good process. I actually got my caddy in the room. He was young process process process process process. Can you tell us about the process? What makes it good process?

Well, first off, having a process is a good start.

And then, you know, for me, if we're getting into the, you know, the details on it, it's all about like my routine, taking a breath, making sure I'm a 100% confident and assertive on the shot. We're about to hit, pick my secondary target, look up, just kind of same amount of looks, and then really no clutter and just pull the trigger and hit the shot.

Yeah.

“What about the process on the step off on the back nine?”

Yeah. Because we talked to Max about that too. He said, maybe he had to fart. Sometimes he's stepped off when he's got released a little too and then he step back in. So what was that process like when I've had to fart, I maybe just stay behind a little

bit or ask Dave like, hey, is it for sure seven iron and when I know it's seven iron, he's like, yeah, it's seven iron and that's when you're letting one out. But when I back off, it's because I'm not, my mind is like thinking about the great mind, I'm going to open up rather than hey, it's left edge, I go start this online. So I back, people think like, oh, it's nervous, it's like, my mind wasn't where I needed

to be back off coming, like, you know, I'm sure I missed maybe a couple of those, but I also made more ones than I missed when I did back off because it's simply just like, hit it when you're ready. Yeah. So speaking of process, it was cool because like, you were on Sunday, we got to hear more

about you and like everyone on your team and we heard about your sports psychologist. Now, I have a problem with her because I think she should have had to stay out there and listen to the gallery. She went inside. She said, did you talk to her after being like, hey, you got to be a foxhole person.

Like you got to be out there, maybe even just saying like, hey, stay in the fairway after you hit a shot or something like that kind of reversing it. I definitely needed her saying stay in the fairway because I could not find one that all day. Um, yeah, maybe next time I'll tell her to put on some boxing gloves and go around and yeah.

People out or something. Yeah. What was the meanest thing that was said to you, was it just like get in the bunker

“and when they were cheering when the ball would look like that?”

No, I mean, there was a lot of stuff. I mean, a lot of people tell me that I'm going to choke, a lot of people saying no one likes you. You know, the ears, maybe it would roll off the green. They would, I was some of the craziest stuff.

I knew when I hit a good shot was because they were quiet and then I hit a bad shot. It was like, you know, it's like I just made a 30 footer for birdie. They were all clapping. Like yeah. And, you know, so things like that, you know, there's a handful of people that got kicked

out. Yeah. And there were some stuff. People saying, obviously, the locker stuff, you know, anytime I missed a put, people were like, oh, bad day to be a locker or, you know, a total of them in the locker room, you know, just

to the constant terms. But whatever. Listen, I honestly think like, the best PR that you were given. And is the fact that people were so weird to you on Sunday, and you didn't react. Like you didn't, you were just nails.

And, and, and like your ability to stay in the moment and not react and not let anything

bother you, I don't know how anyone, if you, however you feel about, when I'm like, I don't know how you can't walk away from that being like, that was impressive. What he just accomplished in the face of all that shit. Yeah. I mean, thank you for saying that.

I appreciate it. Believe me. I wanted to. Anytime I made a put, I wanted to like point at him, do something. But I'm like, okay, it's not a writer cup.

They already don't like me. Let's not make him hate me even more or so. I didn't do it. That's the one time I really kind of showed emotion was on 16 when I made that put. And it's funny.

I mean, I made it eye yelled, you know, and no one else did. Yeah. Like my people were like, yeah, and he sounded like it was, you know, from the rafters. You could barely hear it. Yeah.

Hey, can you have any questions for William? Yeah. The goal of his different goals of different stances on this. How aware of you, how aware were you of the leaderboard on Sunday? Like were you checking it or were you just focused on your game?

Like, did you know you were only up one, you know, with three holes to go? Um, I didn't really look to the back nine. And then my catty day was we made a par or something.

“And I think it was 13, 12 or 13 and you go's, do you want to, or 12?”

If he goes, do you want to know, or do you, whatever, I go, how do you want to know? Like, it's now, hey, we're playing against, against Sam and like, we got to figure out what we're at. And so kind of right around 12, he's like, hey, we got three shot lead. Of course, I bowied the next hole, so then it goes to two.

But yeah, I knew the last six, seven holes. I was, I was looking quite a bit, because I wanted to know like, okay, if he's making birdies, maybe, or gets the tie or whatever, like, I need to be more aggressive and trying to make birdies as well, or hey, he made a bowier double, like, hey, we're playing very conservative, we're not going to take any unnecessary risks.

Yeah. Do you hear the roars and trying to, like, determine what the roars are forage? You're not even worried about what, like, what the possible cheers are, or the only thing was on 16, we knew Sam was on 18. And so we both, like, we heard something, and we were walking, and Dave was like, hey,

that was on 16 green, he's already through. And so then as we were walking, and we didn't really hear any roars on 18, we assumed, like, okay, he made par, and then when we got to 16 or finished 16, I looked and I was like, okay, so he's done, he posted that three, we have two shot lead. So yeah, those last three holes, I definitely knew exactly where I was.

Yeah. What was it like in the clubhouse with Scotty right after you won, because the cameras showed you guys walk in there together, and it was his birthday, that was kind of like a funny twist to the entire day too, it's like the crowd was rooting against you, and they were literally singing happy birthday to Scotty Sheffler for the entire round.

“What did he say to you when you guys got into the clubhouse afterwards?”

Yeah, I mean, Scotty is a killer man, like we didn't talk much during the round. We're buddies, we've obviously been on rider cup and presence cup together, we played the practice front play a lot of kind of rounds against each other, but when we get inside the ropes, we're both killers, we want to beat each other, and so there was not much

talking during the round afterwards, he gave me praise and was like, hey man, that was amazing,

and you know, and then he was back to his normal self and in the clubhouse, and I really applaud and appreciate what he said and the presser, and so yeah, I mean, nothing but respect for that guy, and you know, I know people wanted him to win the Grand Slam and he's going to, I mean, he's so incredible and just not it wasn't this, it wasn't his weekend. Yeah, what was it like on Thursday when the wind dies down and you're literally the only

person playing? Was that weird? Yeah, I mean, we got very lucky. Let's just say that, I mean, going into Thursday, I was like, oh my god, we're going to have all the wind, like this is a bad draw, two hour fog delay, then I look and like all the wind's going to die down, and it did, and next you know, our group, we had a bad ass group. I mean, DJ and Gary, we were with the bros, they're both homies. We all started making tweets left and right, and we just

kind of fed off with each other and we were at six, four and three, you know, we were kind of all leading the tournament. So their vibes were high the first two days, for sure. Yeah, I love that phrase.

How come I've never heard, we just started making tweets. Yeah, I got crazy left and right,

right, I like that. So let me know. Get out there and make some tweets. Yeah, that was the other, that was the other Astra, everyone trying to throw on on this one is that you were, somehow the only person who played with with with no wind on Thursday. It's like,

“have to feel those still playing. And then you also had the third best round I think on Saturday.”

So people people, you, you have people in fits right now. It's got to feel kind of awesome. Hey, haters are going to hate. Well, I mean, geez, unless I just play absolute flawless,

you know what, a doves a dove doesn't matter if you got a good draw bad draw. Yeah, have you

“thought about the other, the other PR thing I was throwing out there on Mondays, have you thought”

about maybe going by your middle name? Because we think maybe there's something about wind them that that pisses people off. And if you went by Bobby, if you're Bobby Clark, you might have had some people rooting for you on Sunday. Yeah, no, no, no, first thought of that. I don't know how you come up with these questions. It's, it's a nice question. You know, I don't Bobby Clark doesn't have quite the ring that, uh, wind them carcass, but

if next time I come to New York, I'll have maybe a little different. I'll be Bobby Clark. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we just think of Robert Clark. Wind him is a, it's a time share company. So people may, may even the back of their head. They're like, uh, I can't stay in this guy. Got me locked in 40 years crazy interest rate. I get it, actually. Time shares can be tough. I mean,

I feel like time shares never work out. So, um, yeah, I get it. Robert Clark just sounds like

you're, you're regular dude. Yeah. Yeah. Just like, oh, who's this, who's this Larry? I mean,

“the, the other piece of PR advice we'd have for you is just wind the president's come. Like,”

if you go out there and you represent the United States, you dominate. Guess what? Everyone's going to be rooting for you. Well, I thought that Jersey thing would make the New Yorkers love me. He like, New York loves USA. I wore a USA jersey in Canada. Jack Hughes. Like, I thought that would be like, oh, you know what? We're wind them fans. But somehow that just, you know, went through the cracks. Yeah. Yeah. The long, they might not necessarily be the biggest readers of the newspaper.

So they might not, that might not have come to next one. Yeah. They were worried about the news. Yeah. They had other stuff for it. Yeah. Yeah. That was all happened. I get it. I get it. Like, has the, uh, Ranger newspaper anymore. So that's probably part of the project. Yeah. Has he, uh, has the check cleared yet? The check. The money is good. Did you do the like swipe up on your bank account just to see it hit? Yeah. It's kind of nice. Yeah. Is it going to be awesome? Are you playing

this next weekend? Nice seeing those heroes. Yeah. Oh, man. Come on. I, I got to make a living. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I want to make the presence cup team. It's not far. It's in Connecticut. They gave me my first sponsor invite. So, you know, I love that place. I got to go do you know, how much you guys think about when you win something like the US Open that you now are qualified for the US US Open for a decade. So you actually the next time it's a Chinacock. That's when

your eligibility runs out. Does that ever like come across your brain where you're like, oh, this is kind of cool. Like no matter what, I'm still playing in the US Open for the next 10 years. Yeah. It's great. Once a year I have max stress for, you know, that's just let's just plan for it. Yeah. But it is nice because I tried. I started trying to qualify for the US Open at like 14. So, wow. I didn't make my first US Open to maybe I was 26 or 7. So, 13 years I tried and didn't

make it. So, it's now amazing to be like, hey, I don't at least for 10 more years. I don't have to

go qualify for this thing. So, that it's a huge part. Yeah. That's really great. And would you, would you say that the travelers is the fifth major or what's the fifth major book? You know what? For them, I'll give them a little plug. Hopefully get a sponsorship. Travelers fifth major. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Sound like you really meant that one. Did you, did you open up some great out of the out of the, out of the, out of the trophy? Or was that just beer in the trophy?

Oh, everything was in there. I don't do champagne last time I did champagne. I don't know if you heard my interview with rap before, but I did champagne. I threw up the next day. I had to go the hospital. So, there was champagne in it and I let everyone else drink it. But initially it's beer because it's like, okay, we're gonna pass this thing around. It's a little easier to chuck beer than wine. But eventually later the night it was just report bottles in there and we were just, you know,

that's, this is the ultimate class, right? It is. It is. All right. I got one last question. By the way, speaking of another classy move by Windom for people who are on the fence like, "Hey,

“shall I roof for this guy? You should roof for him." I watched the video. The guy who engraved the”

trophy, Windom had him drink out of it first. That was, he was like, you, you, you have to start this and then he got to drink out of it first and then Windom did it. So, that's a good Bobby Clark move. Like, that's a solid Bobby Clark move. Oh, I got to tell you, there's background to this. So, in 23, there was a lady where like, "How long have you been done this?" She, you know, engraved it. She goes, "I've done this like 20 years forever and we go, have you ever drank out of it?"

She goes, "No, never." And I go, "Well, today's the day." So, she was the first one.

Then we had a different guy this time, asked him the same thing. He's like, "No, I've never done I said, "Well, this is, this is the Clark tradition, this is what we do." So, he drank out of it. He was like, you know, to the moon, he was so happy and you want to take pictures." So, I think he's a cool thing. I mean, the guy's put in my name, his trophy. He might as well let him enjoy it.

It was very, very cool. I love that video. All right, last question.

Cusips, Polos, Hoodies, jogger, shorts, rowback.com, promo code TakeZack. You got one for us? I do, Nacer. Quick question. What would you say, "How many hot dogs would you say you eat on average, during an average round of golf?" Me. Yeah. I mean, I don't ever eat hot dogs.

You know, so, never. I mean, but one, maybe.

Okay. Do you follow me? How many do you eat? Me, I would probably say average of two. I'm an athlete. We try not to eat processed meats and, you know, while we're playing, that could put me in a little bit of a food coma, but great, hard-hitting question. Yeah. Good question. I do a follow-up. I was curious if I could just take you back to December

3rd, 2016. We were talking, you said, "Hey, just going to hate on Twitter earlier in this interview." You did tweet, "I hate Baker Mayfield." And I was just curious if you still feel that way. I'm going to be your thoughts on that. Maybe you're, that hate your heart's going to wear. What, maybe where you're at on that? I'm trying to decide if I should tell the story.

Yeah. All right, screw it. I don't care. I'm people already hate me. So, no, it's not that bad. I'm a PR team, sure.

You're a PR team's on the hotseek, because we're coming up with ideas they never thought of.

No, they didn't, they brought me for everything. They didn't prep me for this one. My girlfriend at the time cheated on me with Baker Mayfield. That's a fair tweet. Okay, yeah. What? Well, here's what I was saying. As I, that one's time.

“As I have come to, like, I'm actually a Baker fan now. I think he's a homie.”

I, you know, that's your initial response. Screw that guy, but really it's screw that, you know. Yeah, you're girlfriend, yeah. But yeah, so I'm a Baker fan now. But, you know, that's where it came from. That's a totally, we were trying to figure it out. We're like, "Oh, well, Oklahoma State, there's natural hate there." No, that's a totally fair tweet. This is, this is personal.

Yeah, back to me. This is a bro moment for us to be like, "Oh, bro, I didn't know my bad.

She never told me." And I'm like, "Oh, it's all good. We're homies. Let's play golf."

Yeah. That's where I think it comes from. I think, it runs with Baker. We can get that. We can connect this. Are you ready to have this? We can talk about it. We can, like, hey, man. Like, yeah, that was great. Yeah, I can talk. Yeah, I think this is actually perfect. It's like, yeah, you know, in the time I was upset. But as we move on, we realize that things are more complicated.

He probably didn't mean anything by it. So we learn, we grow, we move on. That's a beautiful moment. Yeah. It's a bro moment. Yeah. We're gonna, wow, I can feel it coming. Yeah. Okay. Perfect. All right. Well, wind 'em. You know, we were being accused of liking you too much because you were on the show, but we do like you. So we're rooting for you. And congrats again. Incredible, incredible tournament for the US Open. And cheers, cheers to two.

And many, many more. Open it up the great. Great. Nothing like great. It's been 10 o'clock in the morning where we are. Oh, I know. Yes. We're both in the college. But hey, it's great. All right. Thanks, William. Appreciate you. All right, cheers. Here's to many more tweets. Okay. Before we get to Tim Marine, Lucy. Lucy's the obvious choice for true

And before we get to US men's national team captain, Tim Reim, he's brought to by Jose Quarvo. When Quarvo enters every moment, just gets better. You find yourself in the center of

the dance floor. You can't help but stand up in high five. Those around you at the game. The room reacts like you just got the same text at the same time and you stop checking time. There've been a lot of Quarvo moments. I would say this world cups so far. When the referee blows his whistle gives you yellow card and then goes to VAR and it's mistaken identity and he gives you a little card and somebody else. That's Quarvo moment when you force an own goal.

That's a Quarvo moment. That's the Quarvo effect. Everyone understands it. It's a moment.

“Anyone can join any good time that just grows. All you have to do is keep it Quarvo.”

And now here is Captain America. Tim Reim. Okay. We now welcome on a very, very special guest. It is Captain America. Tim Reim from the US men's national team. Tim. Thank you for joining us.

Yeah. I mean, we're the best since we call it soccer. Yeah. We're the best. Why not?

Okay. Let's call it that. Yeah. It's like us and Australia, a New Zealand they call it soccer.

“We have the, we just beat Australia. So therefore we're the best at soccer. I think I saw somewhere”

that they were the title holders of some sort and then we beat them. So therefore we are the title holders as well. We've taken over that. Yeah. That distinction. Yeah. It was the shirt. It was the best soccer. A rivalry trophy game that we didn't even know that we were playing in until after we won. Correct. Yeah. Okay. That's great. It's been it's been awesome to watch this team. And I've been my entire life following an international soccer at this level and seeing the style of play that we have now

from the United States is so much fun to watch. And it seems very different from the way that we've

kind of organized our teams in the past. And the evolution since we've gotten a new coach in here,

that's also been fascinating to watch. Like what was the point that you realized that what we're building could actually translate into a highly successful formula for the US team with new coaching

“staff. Honestly, I think it was last summer. We played in our regional tournament, the gold cup,”

obviously. And just all the, the way the group, you know, jell together on an off the field, the demands that the coaching staff are putting on us. It makes it hard, but it's, it's a fun hard. Like people, people say, oh, there's, you know, what are you doing? Why does it make it so hard? Just the amount of work that we're going through. But, you know, to your point, you're absolutely right. Like the evolution of where we were to where we are now and how aggressive we are is so

very different to to anything that we've ever experienced with the national team. And we're having fun doing it. I think that's the biggest thing is how much fun it is to do it and, you know, connect with with the fans around the country. Can you, can you tell a vibe shift on this specific team? Because you've been part of, you know, the USman's national program for very long time, played in the World Cup four years ago. Is it, does it feel a little different in terms of just

the confidence going into each game? Yeah, huge, huge difference. I mean, just just looking at guys, like I can, I can see, you know, what kind of, what kind of mood they're in, right? And what kind of vibes that, that they're feeling and, and how confident everybody is. It's, and it does, it's cliche, right? But it starts in training. You know, you watch the guys put in the amount of effort and work that they put in every, every single day in training and that translates. Sometimes our

“trainings are harder than games. That's, that's how hard we, we train. And you can, you can”

feel that going into, you know, into the, into the match days and, and how calm everybody is, but how focused, and how ready, you know, and confident everybody is, you know, when, when that first whistle blows. Yeah, one thing that we've been pretty good at in the first two games is, forcing our opponents to score on their own goal. And we've got, we've gotten back to back with that. Is that something that that's practiced? I mean, obviously, you can't like kick a ball,

aim for another guy's foot. But the concept of just like dumping balls across the goal line, putting defenses and stressful positions like that, is that something that's been, that's been

like a point of emphasis or, or worked with for you guys? Yeah, I mean, listen, we always talk

about getting, you know, getting on top of teams and, and being aggressive and, you know, being on the, what we call on the front foot, right, where you're, you're just attacking and you're, you're attacking over and over and over again. And that puts tremendous amount of pressure on anybody, right? All of a sudden, they feel like they can't, they can't put one foot wrong, right? They can't, they can't step the wrong way or else, you know, look, look what happens. Two, two games, two

own goals. I believe that's, yeah, I don't know that it's even, it's ever been done before in a world cup. But it, it creates this, this feeling of, you know, we're, we're in for a tough, tough day, right? The first couple minutes and your defenders are lean and back instead of being aggressive and, and, you know, acting instead of reacting. So it's, it's definitely something that we've, we've talked about, starting games quick, getting the better of better of our,

you know, the, the opponents from, from the, you know, early early on. Yeah. So when you were named captain of the U.S. team, poachetino said that doesn't guarantee a starting spot for you, but you mean more, you know, in the locker room and for the entire vibe of the team, that's where your value is, is that, was that a sneaky diss? How did you take that? Honestly, I, no, definitely not a sneaky diss. I think it was more of a sneaky challenge than anything. But you know what, I, I,

I'm fully on board with with that sentiment and what that message is, right? You know, that, that is,

step foot through the door, is that nobody is guaranteed to be on this team. Nobody is guaranteed to start. Nobody is guaranteed to be playing minutes. It's down to us as players to take that message on board and work as hard as you possibly can every day. Even then, that might not be enough to get minutes. I don't see it as a diss. I take all messages as a challenge. You either overcome that challenge or you accept it, where your role is, but him and I have a great

relationship as he does with all the players. Obviously, a few genres to be a captain, and then it's just down to me to put in the work to make sure that I'm on the field. I just realized he made a great choice in making you captain because that was probably a test,

“and a person like me would take that as sneaky diss, and that's why I should never be a captain.”

But wait, what the fuck? I'm not starting because I'm the captain. You saw it as a challenge. That means you're a perfect captain, and a guy who can help bring everyone together. Yeah, I don't know about perfect captain. I'm not doing this all by myself. I'll tell you that. There's a lot of guys in this group who I lean on just as much as they lean on me. I like to think of myself as just somebody who's part of a machine, a cog in a machine,

and just doing my role in playing my part, and helping the group in any way that I can. But like I said, it's such a unique position. There's only then two homeworld cups for the U.S.

And I have the opportunity, and I've been given the arm bin as only the second homeworld

cup captain for the U.S. So it's a very special and unique position to be in.

“Are they going to give you a break on Thursday? Do you want a break on Thursday?”

You know what? I'm comfortable either way. Whether I play or not is, again, it's not totally up to me. I love playing games. I love playing minutes. I love being a part of the team. As you alluded to before, I've been around a long time. I played a lot of games, and I know that this is my last World Cup realistically. So I want to play as many games as I possibly can. So we'll see. I don't need a break. But if they want to give me one,

then obviously it's somebody else's opportunity to go in there and do their thing.

Has that been a point of conversation leading up to this third game where we were talking about

it? The fact that they changed the rules in terms of it's now head-to-head and not gold differential, it's got to be a little weird. You have all this momentum. How do you guys keep that edge in that momentum when you're like, "Ultimately, this game doesn't actually matter?" Well, that actually goes back to what I mentioned before is that the training sessions and every guy in this squad, in this team, are deserving of playing minutes. Because we've done so well,

there is an opportunity whether it's used or not to give guys minutes that could potentially make us a better team going into the knockout rounds. So we'll see, guys are working hard. Everybody deserves to play and it's just a matter of picking an 11 to go out there and do it. I don't think it's going to change the momentum either way because everybody's so hungry. Everybody wants to contribute. Everybody wants to be a part of this special feeling and this

wave that we're riding and the momentum that we have. So it is unique because of, as you said, the rule changes. You can almost, you know, with the yellow card, the guys who are on yellow cards, who, you know, if they get another one, they'll miss the knockout rounds. That's a consideration.

“You have to take into account. So we'll see. We'll see what happens. Come, you know, come Thursday.”

Yeah. And also, you're the first guy to get off on the mistake and identity, yellow card. Yeah. Yeah. That's Paraguay. That's crazy that they mistook you. They were like, "Oh, you look so much like the forward from Paraguay. We accidentally gave it to the wrong guy."

Crazy, right? I look exactly like on my own. I never knew that. I speak the same language as well.

Yeah. No, it was weird because like, I feel like you, you successfully argued your way into a change yellow card, which has never happened before. Well, I made history. Yeah. Yeah. First one ever. I mean, I knew right away, right? I put my hand up and gave the old finger wag and said, "No, not a chance." Didn't, didn't actually happen, but, yeah, making history left right and center for this group. Why not? Have you guys practice

not putting your hands over your face when talking? Because that's also crazy in this world cup that we've gotten that as a, you know, if you, if you, if you do the, it's almost like the NFL

Actually, you know, we had a, so we had a pretty, pretty world cup meeting where we,

where we discussed this, right? And FIFA, we, we did a call with them and they said, you know, these are the real changes. This is going to happen. If, if you do that, we were watching that game when

“it happened and, and everybody was in total like total shock. And I think it, it really hit home that”

that, yes, they are going to, to enforce this. And we, you know, I think there was like five, six, seven of us had a, had a, had a, kind of a group, a group chat yesterday after training, talking about different scenarios where we think they would give you a red card or maybe they'd be leaning it and we were just like, yeah, you know what, we're, we're just not, don't even, don't even like act like you're like wiping your nose or any, right? Just go, you're going to go all kinds

of different ways instead of putting the hand over. Yeah. Yeah, or like put your hands behind your back. Like, I'm not, yeah, I'm not seeing anything bad. I can't even cover my mouth. Yeah. I mean, can someone else walk up to you and help you wipe your face off. Oh, we're, we're going to, yeah, we're going to, we're going to, we're going to come up with all sorts of different things. Yeah, you get Joe Scalli to walk over, put his hand in front of your mouth and then you can

say whatever you want. Is that, is that right? Exactly. Yeah, well, I don't know. I guess we'll find out. Yeah, probably not. Yeah. It also feels kind of offensive towards Italians who talk with their hands. Like, if their hands are flying everywhere, you might have a problem. Yeah, demonstrative, right? Like, they, they are very, um, they use their, their arms and they wear their emotions, right? But good thing the Italians aren't here. So it doesn't really matter. Yeah,

there would've all gotten red cards. Yeah. It would've been a mess. Yeah. I love your coach. We love Pochatino and, and everything that he's kind of instilled in this team, the, the, the counter pressing, the aggressiveness that we play with has been awesome to watch. And I was reading

about him when we first made the higher. And I was reading about how he believes in universal

energy and how he believes that like whatever energy you put into things actually like physically can transform stuff. I didn't know if you had any stories about that or conversations that you've had with them or examples that you've seen of some of this, some of this belief that he has. But whatever it is, it's working. Man, you, you are, you've done your homework, huh? I mean, I write about it. I love US soccer. That's, that's the, like, I don't give a shit about

the EPL. I don't care about any of the professional leagues. But I love US soccer. So, yeah, when we hired him, I was like, okay, I want to know everything about the guy. That's awesome. Now, you know what, he, he is a very positive person. He is, you know, obviously as a coach,

“you have to, you have to, you know, give criticism and you have to get on to guys and push them”

in certain ways. But his whole thing is, is about connection. His whole thing is about connecting with each individual player and the, and the players connecting with each other and having this, yeah, this, this kind of aura and, and vibe around the team of, of togetherness and communication. So, that's, that's just the way he operates and, and it's, it's with, which, every single player, not just, you know, a handful of guys. Every single staff member, he, you know, he, he has that connection

with. And the other, the other, the other part is, is he always has, there's this thing with

lemons. He always has a, a bowl of lemons on his, on his desk. Um, I think that's part of that, you know, that, that, that, what, what you're talking about. Um, you know, he feels like that, that brings, kind of a good, a good vibe to the, to the room and, and good energy. But he's all about energy. He's all about projecting energy, good energy, um, in, in all moments because he does feel that that is the, the best way to, to move forward and, and the best way to, to get the best out of

everybody. Yeah. Yeah. He's the best. Um, Tim, we could be honest with each other here. The hydration breaks. Come on. Yeah. Are you, you guys don't like them? No, I mean, I'm fine with, listen, we're American sports fans, quarters make sense to us. I do think it's crazy. They keep the clock running, like just, just stop the clock and, and we're not playing, like it's not. Yeah. I mean, listen, it's, it's, you know, people, the, the, the purists are probably, you know,

rolling over saying, you know, what, what are we doing here? What is this? And everybody says, oh, it's, it's, you know, it's the US. Well, no, that this is a, a FIFA thing, right? It's, it's also, it's hot in some places and not, in others, I get that, um, but for competition fairness that you got to give it, you know, every game has to have the same, the same rules. So, uh, it's funny you say about the clock stopping, though. Yeah. Um, it is interesting that you say this because that

“is another conversation that the players, you know, ourselves had it, I think dinner the other night,”

it was like, why can't we just stop the clock? We're not in that moment. What is it? What is it? What is it going to change by stopping it, you know, for, for the three minutes and, and then keeping track of the, of the time out, I'm with you on that one. I don't, I don't, I don't understand that. Yeah. Um, but, I mean, here we are, right? We're, we're just, we're just out there kicking a ball running around and, and, and sweating our, you know, tails off to, to get a ball in the back of

it's, it's kind of weird if you had to stop the clock every time someone goes down, but it's with,

guys are literally standing on the sideline and we go to commercial break. How, how hydrated are you getting during the hydration breaks. Are you really taking them seriously? Oh, yeah, you have to.

“Okay. Good. Sure. Yeah. That's what I say seriously. Huh? Orange slices, Oreos, anything like that?”

Orange slices. There's the gel packs and, you know, car, car packs and, yeah, there's, there's a bunch of different stuff that, but no orange slices. I've not seen orange slices yet, but, again, that's, that's just in our, our little huddle week. But I'm, I'm with you, you know, why, you go to commercial break and that's also another point of contention. Yeah. I'll get that. But, um, and you, you leave it whatever it is, 22, 30, and you come back and all the, you know, fans and people are looking

at the TV saying, wait, where are those three minutes go? And now it's 25, like, what are we doing here? Yeah. So, yeah. I, I, I, I, I feel you on that one, just, just stop the clock. It's pretty simple solution. Yeah. Have you thought about putting your fours up? I've been putting my fours up

during the hydration break in the second half. When people know, fourth quarter starts now.

Yeah, fourth quarter deep. Yeah. I haven't yet. No. That's actually my, my big go. Maybe I'll, I'll tell the, I'll tell the boys after, uh, yeah, during this next game, when, when we, when we step out after the, the hydration break, everyone just walk out with, you know, their hands up in the air with the four. Put your fours up. That's a good shot. Yeah. Remind everybody. So this is the last that you got to give. Um, yeah. A little headline, headline grab on my part here. I'll say

“if you don't want to say it. Um, but fuck you, Tim Howard, why do you have to say that we can't win the”

world cup? Why do you have to say it was impossible? Like, I feel like he could at least be like, yeah, it's going to be very challenging. Every game is going to be really tough. We're going to have to play some of the best teams in the world. But like hearing him say that on his podcast, it's like, hey, shut the fuck up, man. Just like, let the vibes just marinate for a little bit. Um, I mean, yeah, it's tough to hear from a, from a former player when, you know, they, they come out with

with things like that. I also know that, you know, they're, you know, they have a platform, right? And, and they have, you know, they, they have a, a certain way to, of doing things and, and reaching out to, to their, you know, their fans, um, you know, it would have been great to hear them say exactly what you're saying. But at the end of the day, guess what? We're, we're in the, in the changing room, we're on the field, we're the one who, you know, the, the team who's, who's believing in,

in, in ourselves. And, and at, at the end of the day, we want, we want the fans and, and everybody to, to believe with us, right? That's a big thing. Um, believe with us, come, you know, join us on this, on this ride, because it's, it's fun. It's, it's exciting. It's entertaining. Uh, after two games, look, look what we've, you know, what we've accomplished and, and we're not even near where we want to be. So, um, you know what, what people are saying, you know, it's just, it's just that,

you know, and, and we understand that, but we believe, um, the players believe, and, and you can see it every single day, um, that, that we, it doesn't matter what anybody's going to tell us, we're going to, we're going to go out and, we're going to keep believing, and, and hopefully everybody else believes in us too. How, how fun is it, uh, just being together, because you guys are, you know, for this extended period, you guys are all kind of, I assume, staying together in the same place,

and training, is it, is it like a borderline, like summer camp? I, I know it's obviously more serious than that, but you are kind of hanging out all the time. That's a great way to put it.

“Honestly, it's, it's a great way to put it. It's, it's, you know, 20, you know, 26 of, you know,”

or, I guess yourself, and 25 of your boys going on, on a giant sleep away camp, um, or a big, you know, guys vacation. Yeah. Um, now granted, we are working. It's not, not a vacation, but, um, yeah, I mean, you wake up and, and you see everybody, you sit outside, we're, you know, we're right on the, on the, on the water, um, you know, we have our players lounge, we have our, our, you know, our studio here where, where we can hang out and, and guys are playing video games,

where, you know, we're watching all the games together, we're sitting, we're having coffees, we're, you know, we're, we're, we're watching the, you know, the waves crashing. I mean, it is,

it's, it's amazing. It's great. And, and it goes back to that togetherness, right? It's,

yeah, you're constantly, you're constantly together, um, and you're just, you're creating memories, um, and, and creating stories that you're going to be able to tell and, and share, you know, for, for years and years and years to come. So it's, it's, uh, it's a unique, you know, a unique setting, but it's, it's one that we're really, uh, really enjoying. It sounds like that moment when anyone's been, you know, on a bachelor party and everyone looks around being like, what if we just bought a house

together, just all of us, just said, hey, we're not going back to our families, which did, obviously, that's, that's fleeting moment, but it happens. There, there may have been, yeah, a few conversations of, of, not houses, but there was a golf cart in the other day, um, a couple of guys were like, maybe we just buy that and put it on the back at the back of the hotel, um, and can someone ship that back to, to, you know, my house when we're, when we're done. So

let's do something silly and, and, you know, you have a, you know, story to tell. All right, so off that question, and you guys play, so it's maybe a little different, but from a fans perspective, do you guys have the Renaldo verse messy debate? Um, I wouldn't say there's a debate.

“I, I think we all watch those games pretty closely. Um, and everybody has their, has their own,”

you know, their, their own opinion and their own favorite. Um, if you're going to ask me what,

what camp I'm in, I'm, I'm, I'm camp messy, like, the crow has been. Yeah, I've always been,

I've always been that way. Um, that's not to take away from from what Renaldo's done. I just think, you know, you know, messy is, is such a special player to, to watch and, you know, follow. So there's not really a debate, but there are guys who will say, yeah, no, I'm, I'm this side, and then there's guys who are, oh, no, I'm on the other side of the fence, but we've, we've talked about it so much over the years that everybody knows where everybody stands. So we all just watch

with made it breath and, and we're like, okay, what's, what's going to happen today? Yeah. Is there a type of person that's more likely to be a messy guy? Like, can you spot a Ronaldo guy from across the room, be like, oh, this, yeah, that's a Ronaldo. Um, no, honestly, you can't, you, you, you really can't.

“I, I think, you know, everybody, everybody doesn't, they don't carry themselves a certain way”

to, and that you say, okay, yeah, that makes sense. Um, I, I wouldn't say, like, I've, I've walked

into, into this group, you know, or, or anybody's come into the group and I thought, yeah, I know who you, what side you're on. Um, it's, it's definitely harder to tell with, with other professional athletes, that's for sure. Can you, uh, can you settle a debate? Because I was talking to a colleague here, Jeff Delo, the other day, about, if the team has a goal song, like in hockey, you score a goal, and they played over the loudspeaker. Do you guys have a goal song? We, so, us as players, we don't

have a goal song, but I believe, um, when we score US soccer decided that is it freebird? Good. Yeah, freebird. Um, yeah, when, when we, so when we score on the stadiums, they throw freebird on immediately after. Okay, I love that. That's a great choice. We were just, we were wondering because we were watching the games, and I guess it's a testament to Seattle, but it was so loud after they announced the goals. Or, on the VAR when they announced the goal, that you could not,

you couldn't hear what they were playing to the speakers. How cool was that to be playing in

“in front of a crowd that was like that intense? Incredible. Uh, I think I saw afterwards that it”

it registered a 3.3 on the, on the, on the earthquake scale or some, some crazy thing like that. It's, it, it makes the game so much more special when, when you have a, uh, you know, a crowd that is pro pro US, right? And, and we've not had that in, you know, a lot of instances over, over many, many years, and not to, to see and, and feel that, you know, it's, it just makes the game, you know, that much more enjoyable, right? Because you, you have this, again, I keep saying connection. You have

this connection with the fans that are in the seeds, but then the connection with the fans who are all across the country and, and celebrating each and every single play, every single goal. So it, it makes it, it, it makes it so unique. Um, and, and it, it, it gives you that, we'll call it proverbial 12th man, and, and we feel that as players. We feel that even going out for the warm-ups, right? And it, it starts along before, um, you know, long before we, we score a goal and,

and, you know, we want that to continue, uh, because it is, there's nothing more special than, than playing in front of a, a pro US crowd. I'll, I'll tell you that right now. There's, there's nothing that gets you, gets you going more than having that, um, you know, behind you from, from minute one to, to minute 90 plus. Uh, okay. I just got to text you your buses about to arrive. So we got to wrap this up. This has been awesome. Uh, last question, rowback question,

He is rooting against you guys. He hates soccer. Can you just tell him, uh, you know, like, how stupid he is? None of that's true. Well, the last question. Yeah. Good

question, Hank. None of that. Sure. I think I saw yesterday's episode. Um, yeah. Honestly, like, whatever. Yeah. You don't want to be a part of it. You don't want to be a part of it. Don't be a part of it. I'm not going to beg you. I'm not going to beg you to be a part of it. Like, whether it's true or not, like, you, everybody has their own thing, right? Yeah. I'll tell you what though. I'll tell you what though. You're, you're missing out. So, yeah. But it's not as I hurt my feelings.

You're, you're the one, you're the one who's going to miss out on all the fun. So we don't even

whatever you want. Yeah. Yeah. Doesn't make it different. And he is rooting against us. He, he's

100% rooting against us. So we all know that's true. Tim, you're the best man. Good luck, rest of the tournament. We'll be watching. Thank you so much for joining us.

“Hank. Hey, boys. We don't care about you, Hank. That's what Tim Riem told us.”

Hey, Hank. My husband and I lost weight for a wedding recently, and now I'm wondering what a reasonable time-on is to let ourselves go back to our usual shape. Summer just started, and now I want to enjoy food, which I haven't done for a while. My husband will probably get into big cat shape when I get pregnant, but I don't want his tits in a bigger than mine. What should I do, thanks? Sounds like you got small tits. Work on that. You can also just, if you get pregnant,

then you can put it on all the way that you want. It is kind of funny like that people just go to the ends of the earth to look so hot on their wedding day, and then they put those pictures

in their house for the rest of their lives, basically saying, if I tried, this is what I would look like.

It's just a reminder, like, yeah, I could do this, but I not. Maybe the move is get fat for your wedding day, and then lose weight after, and everyone sees you on your wedding, on the wedding day pictures, and they're like, oh shit, you look awesome now. It's that, yeah. Wouldn't that be better? Have the pictures up. It's funny that like a woman will get, she'll get married at her like smallest weight, and then she'll keep the dress. Yeah. Like it's an old military

uniform. Like how good I used to be. Yeah. Look how in shape I used to be back in the day. Look closer to your wedding day, and then everything else is easy street. Max, how are you,

“what's your plan? I've lost a little bit of weight. You look good. Yeah. I think I haven't gone full.”

I'm going to starve myself for my wedding, but I feel good. I feel good going into wedding wedding day. What's the plan though? So you're going away for your wedding like a week in advance, and I would imagine there will be some beers and other things. There's there like, hey, like almost like a UFC fighter, you're going to cut weight 24 hours before? No, I'm probably just, no, it's going to be bad going into it. So you basically lost the weight that you are going to

gain back before your wedding. Yeah. I'm going to be the first six days before I do the pictures. Yeah. And I'm going to be, then I'm going to be drinking the frozen drinks. I got a lot of sugar in there. Oh, so much sugar. Do you remember your bachelor party that Saturday? I just switched to frozen drinks. I was doing strawberry dacres. I did like five of them. And I just felt so yeah, it was great. There's not like being in like very warm climate looking out at the water

and drinking a frozen drink is like the best feeling. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, the the one good thing is

you're going to, I can always just be like, yeah, I'm just going to eat fish up like, oh yeah,

fish is healthy. And it's, and it's fresh fish. Yeah. And we're not fishing fishing. You're probably going to be walking a lot too. No. You're not going to be putting any stuff on the beach. Do a little training. It's not like a city. It's not like you walk from place to place. You know, I mean, you're going to be walking around. You're going to be walking around the beach. You're going to

“get a chance to go to. Yeah. Yeah. You should have to swim to your wedding. That'd be good.”

Swim 50 miles. What heights were that? But Max, I want to say right now, I think you look great. I think you look powerful. That's the difference. You're not, you're no longer fat. You look power. Yeah. Yeah. I've been working out a lot more. Yeah. And I've lost like 15, 15 pounds. That's all. 15 pounds. And you're just, you're just a strong guy. That's the thing is like some, some people like, oh, yeah, you got to lose weight. Listen, some of us are just strong guys.

I'm not, but Max is he's a strong guy. This is nice as this shows I've been to. Yeah. Hell yeah. It's a truth though. Like, you know, like some guy walks around like 130 pounds. Like, hey,

don't have, the strength of Max. Max correct. Okay. Hell yeah. Feels good. Hey, daddy cat pro football commenter and powdy hank question. My husband laughs at his farts all the time. Yeah. But when I fart, it's considered gross. Yeah. When he does it, it's hilarious. Correct. Even though they smell terrible and are the most off-putting smells and sounds of ever experience. My friends and family get grossed out except for my brother and dad who also

“think all farts are hilarious. Is this just a guy thing? Why can't girls fart to be funny too?”

Yeah, just, it's just one of those things. I've never heard a more accurate description of why

farts are funny. That's perfect. I don't, I don't know. You could just just take the word fart out of that too. What do you mean? Why can't girls be funny? Oh, I was gonna say that like, I was joking. When, yeah, it would be funny if girls were farting and then other girls were laughing at girls' farts. But I don't think that girls laugh at girls' farts. I don't think this is just men not laughing at girls' farts. I think just across the board, most women hear another woman

fart and it's not nearly as funny as like when, when a male does it during a interview with an NFL head coach. Everyone thinks that's funny. Look, listen, "Men take dumps." I got a roast of that. I got punched in the face the other day for farting. Yeah. True. You guys are fake. "Men take dumps." It's just a slap to the back of that. It was 500 bucks. Yeah. "Men take dumps."

“Okay, that's what we do. So, women know. Yeah, it is, it is, it is probably wrong of us to have that”

double standard, because it does exist everywhere where it's like gross. How could you fart? Meanwhile, it's ripping all the time. Except for what I'm interviewing at coaches. Then I can

actually have body control. My now husband was well off before we got married and he always had a

large shoot collection including basketball shoes. I like your fit today, thank you. Thanks. Yeah. I was running late, actually. I don't. I like, you're like, like, marine desert storm fit. Yeah, I was running late. I kind of threw it on. I would have changed, but I was like, "Fuck it. I kind of have to go." So, are you a hunter? I think that's like, real tree. You look like you should be in a deer stand somewhere. Okay. Oh, you're hunting for a buck

earlier today, and you didn't get them. Oh, that's proud of you. How are you? You were asleep. Probably why. Go ahead. Sorry guys, we're both asleep. 100% I had something called wake up our stool that I'd wake up at 5 a.m. So, yeah, sorry Hank. I went to bed at 11 p.m. It's okay. Okay. 15? Yeah. What's your reason? Wait, are you the bedtime police now? It's for some sleep. Yeah, I fell asleep last night because

I'm a 41 year old man. You're just a little boy. No, I actually had great. I mean, probably, you probably were staying up with your flashlight under your fucking pillow tent. I had great, I had just great, like, what do you call it ESP? Yeah. I just knew. Like, I put my phone on, put my alarm on, do not disturb, and I just like, I checked my phone. Maybe you would have been running late and didn't steal valor today with your get up if you had gotten a good amount of sleep.

True. My now has been was well up, whatever. You really wore already this, right? No, right up again, right that part. Really again. My now has been was well up before I got married. I still had a lot of shoe collection including basketball shoes. Do you really wore many of them due to wanting to preserve them? I finished school now to have my own independent wealth. I like designer heels and related. So, I too have gathered a lot. Do your fuses to allow space and

the closet because you can't ruin their vibe and my shoes are impractical. Would it be wrong for me to challenge him to a game of horse? He wears one of his preserved shoes all around my apractical heels when they're stops complaining. I like that. I don't think Debbie. I don't absurd it all. I also need him in horse. Go for it. I went through a little shoe phase. Listen, shoes were meant to be worn. Yeah. Getting shoes and just having them and just being like,

I'm never going to wear them is so ridiculous. I had that for a little bit of time and I looked

one day and I was like, I haven't worn any of these shoes. Why do I have them? And then I cleaned out and it's like, just get the shoes that are meant to be worn. I have a lot of shoes. I've no problem wearing the nicer ones. I just have so many that, but I can't get rid of them. That's where I like. You can. That's the problem. I just, I like, I like. Like I can get rid of those. I can get rid of clothes. Is that like art for you? No, it's just like I don't. Something

happens when it's like, I got to get rid of some of these shoes, but I just can't. I don't know.

“That's a little bit about me. I think that it's, uh, it's completely fine if you want”

a challenge of the horse. I doubt that he'll accept the challenge because he probably doesn't look. Yeah, he's probably scared as fuck. Also, like, what, how's this even a question? You,

somewhere out. Don't be complaining about independent wealth and we have no closet space. Yeah, that makes sense. That's broke people shit. Yeah, that is. I'm certain to think that the first part of this email was wrong. Yeah. Uh, my husband and I last went my husband and I were three other couples when somebody asked the guys what the male equivalent is of coming home to flowers. Some guy said their wife getting them ice cream and others said things like, all the laundry

being folded. No. My husband and then interjected and said the answer is obviously a blow job.

The other husband's disagreed and they said they would rather have the other things. My husband then told each of their wives that their husbands were lying to them and they were too afraid to say they just want to be jay everyone's in a while. My husband said he would also accept me bouncing on a crazy spot. My question is, is my husband just way too honeier all of the guy

“friends lying? I think your husband might be the world's only truth teller because it sounds”

like the other guys were like, I'd rather have, uh, all my laundry folded than get a blow job. But this isn't that's not, I don't think flowers in blow job are the same. It's not coming home to fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. That's the one. That's who, when that happens, it's like

you hit the lottery. That would be my version of flowers. Does that feel fair? Because it smells

good? No, just like, yeah, it's just like it's there. It's sitting on the kitchen table. Like it's very, it's very apples to apples as flowers. Yeah. Like you thought they thought about you, that's the thing with flowers. It's like you're really just saying, I thought about you coming home to a blow job is like that's, that's, that's eating pussy. You got to do that's, that's, that's where that is. I think it's like the chocolate chip cookies not a bad one. A nice dinner that, that you

“particularly like, that isn't one of her favorites would be another or just a hat. I sometimes”

I like coming home and be like, hey, I saw this hat thought about you. Boom. New hat. The meanest thing that I've got to have. You know, like, you know, like, you guys don't like it and hats? I got so many hats. Yeah, too many hats. I've like, I do have so many hats. I've got 10,000 hats. Yeah. The meanest thing that I have to deal with is that when my wife cooks chocolate chip cookies, but they're for someone else. They're for like a big sale at the school and then I'm not allowed to have them and then I still sneak

in like a bunch of them. She actually's gotten smart. She just, she makes a side batch. So she keeps the main batch away from me. And she just like, she has me focus on the side batch. The side batch will have like five and I'll just dust them all. So chocolate chip cookies, it'll be my pick. Brownies, even. Hat. Hat's having good. Hat is a terrible thing. You know, you guys don't like hats. No, I don't. Like, what? How many hats you come down to? Yeah, what are you talking about? Or just

like, a shirt or a hat. Yeah, I like to pick out my own hats. I don't think it's the same thing. It's like, I saw this hat thought about you. I wish this was about Rushmore. I saw this hat thought about

“you thought you might like it. Is that nice? Yeah, I don't. I can't. I don't think that's how”

I guess or nice if you think about it like that. Yeah, but it's like, I don't think that's ever happened. I don't, I mean, that's that's a new problem. I've gotten like hats galore. I have too many hats. We're not trying to add more hats. Yeah, I don't think that would ever happen because it's like

there's too many hats. Right. They would never be like, you know what he needs to hat. Let me get

them one of these hats. It just in case we run in case we like the house burns down and we have no hats left. I've got to get one hat just nice to know that they thought of you. I don't know when this became an anti hat podcast. That's okay. Some guys like to ask the argument. I'm a visor guy. Yeah, that's not the other visor. If you want to give me a visor, I agree. Yeah, big cats got a million hats. Never has any chocolate chip cookies, though. What do you mean? I have chocolate chip cookies every day.

You do? No, I'm saying you could say, I like chocolate chip cookies. Homemade chocolate chip cookies are not the same as hats in my house. I have 500 hats. Homemade chocolate chip cookies happen like once every two months. I like hats. They're very different. I could apologize. PTF feel like you run into a lot of at work hats already. I do. Yeah, we have we are we literally like we're like side show Bob stepping on a rake.

You can't go for feet in this office stuff finding a hat. I have hats just everywhere. You do too. We all have. I'm not denying that I have a lot of hats. I got Colton's wearing a cool hat. It's a really nice hat. Our numbers. Quick, quick, 155. 18. Thank you. 67. What did we get? 57. See your numbers get 17. One on it. 27. Colton says 69, course now we got. 65. 45.

It sounds like I know. No, I don't know.
