Titans HC Robert Saleh, Spain Wins The World Cup, Ryan Fox Wins The Open And Bryson Melts Down + Mt Rushmore Of Animals You Want To Get Drunk With
121m 41s
Spain earned the World Cup title through a highly disciplined, defensive strategy that effectively stymied Argentina’s offensive efforts, resulting in a 1-0 victory via penalties after a grueling match where Argentina had no shots on goal until extra time. The game was widely seen as uneventful and frustrating, with critics noting Argentina’s poor play and excessive fouling, while Spain’s control of possession and defensive pressure was described as a textbook example of dominance. The tournament’s entertainment value dropped significantly, with many fans expressing disappointment, especially after the final’s lack of drama. The halftime show, filled with eclectic celebrity appearances and unexpected moments like Tom Cruise’s entrance, was viewed as a chaotic but memorable spectacle, blending absurdity with humor. The episode also highlights broader cultural moments, such as the controversy around Tom Brady’s fanatics fest appearance, which sparked backlash over its cringey, scripted nature and perceived lack of authenticity. Other highlights include a strong performance by Ryan Fox in the Open Championship, celebrated for his no-nonsense, relatable golf style and resilience despite poor early position, while Bryson DeChambeau faced criticism for trampling the grass and the subsequent penalty, fueling debate over rule enforcement and player conduct. The segment also touches on golf’s complex rules, such as temporary object relief, and introduces a viral story about removing ping pong tables from locker rooms, which reportedly correlates with team improvement. Lastly, the show explores pop culture trends, including LeBron James’ rumored move to the Sixers and a humorous discussion of exaggerated team odds, while wrapping up with a lighter note on "who’s back" features like Tom Brady, Drake May, and James Harden—each offering a unique, often ironic, take on current events.

The crown is yours today is Monday, July 20. And Spain is the World Cup champion. Espanya. Congratulations to Estonia. Incredible job, suffocating the life out of Argentina here. Listen, I'm going to be the bigger man here. I love Messi. I wanted Argentina to win. Spain was a better team far, far in a way. Maybe it was something to do with the fact that Argentina didn't get a shot on goal until like the 119th minute. Yeah, I could have been part of it. Argentina's game plan was let's see if we can't just foul the shit out of them every single time they touch the ball because they can't call all them. They can't give us all red cards. And it worked for a while until it didn't. But so they did a good job with their game plan, which is pretty much just just make them really pissed off. Try not to consider because Spain's goal is going to be they're going to try to dribble the ball into the goal. I was just so you just compress in your own third and you play tough defense and you foul the fuck out of them and you take them to penalty kicks. You've got a great chance against see I yeah, like I don't even think it was Argentina's like game plan. It was just Spain played the game that they've played every single game for this World Cup. They gave up how many goals you think Spain gave up in the entire World Cup? Seven games. No, or eight games. One, one, they give up one. They are they're a boa constructor. They just low you to death, slowly, slowly just keep the ball. Every time they give up the ball, they they press and they crowd the passing lanes. They can't let you have possession. It felt like watching that game. And I know that at the end, there were actually only 10 guys on the field for Argentina, but it felt like for the majority of that game that Spain had a couple extra guys because every time Argentina got the ball, it was like, well, they have nowhere to go. And that's how good Spain's defense was. And they are, I mean, historically, they're doing what they did. They won the 2008, I believe Euro 2010 World Cup 2012 Euro. They're now back to doing that. They won the Euro two years ago. They won the World Cup. They're probably going to win the Euro in two years. They're just different generation dominating soccer. Yeah. Argentina, their game plan on defense, it was pretty apparent from the very start because they weren't even trying to step at the passing lanes. They were staying in between the guy with the ball and the goal. And they were just like, you can pass it around as much as you want. We're just not going to let you dribble the ball inside the penalty. Oh, and they wanted to pay and they did pass it around as much as they want. And they did. And they were able to do it. And Argentina was fine with it. And it worked. I mean, it was boring as soccer. It sucked. It made me thankful that the World Cup's over, that football's back. Now we can get back into real football, which I'm very, very thankful for. But that was actually, I think that was the best way to end the World Cup because I'm totally fine with no more soccer now. Yeah. After that game, I'm totally fine with it. Now, after Spain, I wanted penalties, though. I think we all wanted penalties. Because at that point, we all realized that Argentina had no chance to win the game in regulation. Our Argentina should have let Spain score early because after Spain scored early. Yes. And then they kind of, you know, they did kind of go into a shell defensively. But Argentina, they looked alive after that. Like, yeah, that's what Argentina is. They're exciting to watch when they're back against the wall. And for the first, what was it? Like 110 minutes of the game. Their back wasn't against the wall. Yep. So they were boring as fuck to watch. If they'd given up a goal in the first 20 minutes, I feel like that could have been like a three to two game. Yeah, it could have been a very, very fun game to watch. But instead, it wasn't. Instead, it was just like, Argentina just fouling the fuck out of Spain, screaming out the ref. I feel like Argentina fouled the ref today. They fouled everybody. So it was a, yeah, overall, I give this game a four out of 10. Yeah. And then the halftime show was a fever dream of Shakira, Justin Bieber, Ted Lasso, the Muppets, Coldplay. What the hell was that? I like great combination. It was. I mean, it was they basically were like, hey, if we throw enough at the wall, someone, there's going to be something for everyone. And they were kind of right. The Muppets, when the Muppets came out and started playing seven nation army, I was like, they're kind of winning back right now. Yeah, they lost me from Adana. And then when animal was out there, just banging skins, I was like, yeah, I get it. I get it. And it also, there's never been something that made more sense than Tom Cruise doing the intro speech to the World Cup Final. I like, he probably doesn't even watch soccer, but he's that if there's a global stage where billions of people are watching Tom Cruise going to be there, probably giving some subliminal message about illuminati and shit. Scientology. Scientology. And, but yeah, when he came out, I was like, yeah, that makes sense. Tom Cruise. Right. Of course, he's there. Of course, he's the guy. Did you ever watch the clip of in 1994 when we hosted the World Cup, the opening ceremonies with Diana Ross, what she did? No, it's pretty incredible, especially if you're a fan of pillion kicks. So she was out there on the field introducing the World Cup. And then they put a soccer ball on a penalty spot for her assignment was to go up to the ball, kick it straight forward into the goal. And then the goal would explode and come down in the brief pyrotechnics and fireworks. That's pretty badass. Diana Ross walked up to the ball, kicked it. It missed left by about 30 feet. It was like the worst shot that you've ever seen. And they still like detonated the goal and set off the fireworks for it. It's pretty incredible. Yeah. Did I show speed perform? Oh, yes, or he did a performance right before the game kicked off. Wow. Was it televised? I was. He was on a TV. Are you shot? I saw it virtually online, but it may have been on somebody's TV. Okay. It could have been on someone's TV. Overall, Hank, why don't you give us your final thoughts on the World Cup? Are you happy? It's over. Are you sad? It's done. I'm sad. I'm sad. It's done. Like, again, like a soccer. Today is one of the reasons like I don't find soccer super entertaining. I did find the knockout stage pretty entertaining. And I like having sports on during the summer. So like overall, I'm not happy. It's over. Yeah. If we're if we're power ranking ways to kill the summer and get through those dog days, like as the baseball starts to become more important as football training camp starts to come back, I feel like the World Cup is one one. Yeah. It's World Cup summer Olympics. And that's pretty much it. Yeah, I don't know what else would be the three on three ice cubes. Three on three. Big three. That's it. Fanatics fest. Yeah, we got to get to that. Yeah. Can we just talk talk about it right now? Sure. Well, no, all right. Let's finish talking about World Cup. Congratulations, Spain. I also had one bone to pick. The third place game, which is hilarious that they still do this on Saturday was electric. It was the opposite. It was six to four England beat France. I loved it. It's awesome. The fact that those goals count for the Golden Boot is such bullshit. That's stupid. That should not count. Like that's not a that's not a real game. Bob had gotten two of them. Yeah, the first half for France. It was it was actually kind of like perfect soccer. Yeah, it was so much fun to watch. France did not give a fuck. They were not out there to run. They were just kind of being spectators on the field. They're down. Was it for nothing at halftime or nothing at halftime? For nothing at halftime. And then in Bobby is like, okay, I need to go win the Belendor or the Golden Boot. Yeah. So I'm going to go out there and actually did it. And he did it. Yeah. I mean, but again, Spain deserving champion, the style that they play in, I was trying to match like it's basically a team that just has a shutdown defense and runs the ball and wins games, you know, like 10 to three. I was going to say it's like it's like basketball before the shot clock. Maybe that was the problem. Maybe we needed Spain to come out in like the Baltimore Ravens uniforms. And then it would have made sense to us. We'd be impressed by what they did. Yeah, like the Steelers. They'd be like, okay, this makes sense. Like they're just suffocating the other team. It was a combination because it was Spain doing what Spain
does best and what they've always done best and then Argentina being more than happy to let them do that. Yeah. Yeah, just having never had the ball having zero shots until until extra time was absolutely ridiculous. They had 17 touches in the attacking third, but no, this is zero in the in the penalty area. This is what happened with basketball and then they said we need a shot clock because it's not fun seeing you guys just stand in the corner. They've they've perfected soccer. They figured it out. Williams, the sub that they brought on, I don't know why he didn't start because every single time that he was in, I think he was injured a bunch this World Cup. But I mean, every, he wasn't injured today because every time when he had the ball at his feet today, he was absolutely dynamic. Every time he had it, it was a scoring threat. He's been a sub this World Cup because I think he's been injured and they didn't want to stretch him out. Hank, question for you. Yes. And he was at the World Cup game. It's Tom Brady, okay. What do you mean? Well, I don't know what's going on. Things don't well. I don't know what's the fanatics fast clips were troubling you would agree. The Undertaker clip where he recreated the Undertaker with the song and like came out of a casket. And then hit the guy with the chair for the reason I don't even know what it was for. Right. Who he hit? I was just a random guy in a red jersey. But I also, I don't know if he was like coming up if he was doing an appearance, like if he was doing a show. Like the whole thing. What was the, the entrance, I don't know what he was walking into like was he just going into fanatics. What about the slap? Slap was bad. He's a good football player. Fanatic stress looks like we might not have the best team or I don't know, I don't really know. What was the slap for? Is he going to fight Logan Paul? They've been going back and forth. Remember they had that whole thing where Logan Paul was like I'm talking about athlete. Flag football. Yeah. And I've never seen a more contrived dynamic back and forth. It's very transparently. They're trying to sell us something. Yeah. And they're like, oh, I just imagine the meetings that they have behind the scenes like do people are going to go nuts for this. Tom, you're going to slap. You're going to slap him. I think that's just Michael Rubin and then people are going to absolutely love it. And then we're going to sell, we're going to cut up the shirt that you wore when you did it. And we're going to put those in the trading cards and the people are going to buy those. Thank God. Carl and Danny Towns is there to break it up. Yeah. It was going to be a real, real ugly scene if he wasn't there. Yeah. And he really broke it up fast and with a fury. And you could tell those guys were about to fight big time. They were giving each other the finger at the World Cup final. No, what? Yeah, Rubin was breaking it up. Oh, no. It's crazy. Thank God. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Yeah, Rubin said like keep my guys separated. Yeah. Whoo. Another designer. Thank God. Rubin, thank God he was there. Danny Towns, Michael Rubin. It's bad. It's extremely, it's extremely cringy. Yeah. But he's just, he's going to pretend it's not happening. He's going to pretend like I need further confirmation on like if it more, it comes out that it was definitely him, but it does kind of feel like it was him. It could have been. And that would be, that would be, that would, that would change a lot of things. I think he's just, yeah. He's, he's gotten really weird. Damn Patrick Clare Friday was not Tom Brady. Oh, go Rick. Awesome. The, or Diana Rossini, he Clare Friday, those two names got it. Okay. Okay. The, uh, yeah, I don't know what's going on at the fanatics fest, but every time, every clip, it's like, how can we make it as cheesy as possible? And I'm sure there's some fun stuff because autographs are big these days and like getting to meet these guys cool, but the, the other stuff, I don't understand. It just seems like they're selling tickets to cows that want to be built. We should, we've actually been offered to do a show for that. Maybe we should do that and just do it as like cringy as possible, but just say, like telegraph it. Tell the AWL say, like, hey, here's what we're doing. And they asked, they asked me like, we're, we're going to do a live show and I'm going to pants PFT five minutes in. And then we're going to announce our, our new crypto. Yeah. We got a new, we got a new shit coin that we're here to pump. Just give it, maybe be like, maybe like Peter Pan, just take a paycheck and then just give it back to the AWL. Yeah. Here you go. We'll go over the top cringy and just make it make the worst possible episode of part of my take. That would actually be a fun experiment, designed the worst possible episode of part of my take. See if we can outprint, like go to a phonetic specimen and sit in the meeting and be like, hey, no, no, actually, here's our idea. What if Zack Pied Max and then, and then Max was like, Oh, thank Zack and ate the whole pie. Then he threw up. How cool would that be? And then we all threw up. It would be great. And then Hank came and he hit me over the head with a nine iron, but he did it lefty. So it was still above the board, where he could say, Max, I got nothing, this shit sucks though. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, again, it's like the meeting athletes is cool. Like that part would be cool, like getting autographs cool, taking pictures, but, but all the plan shit, it's just like, what am I watching? It also seems like the most cynical place ever. You can go to an autograph festival or a fan festival and you know that the guys are being paid to be there. Right. And they're still happy to see you interact with all that shit. It just seems like every single thing about being at that place is just designed to take money from the people that are there. Yeah. Brady also strikes me as a guy that was not like necessarily a huge wrestling fan, because like when some guys they grew up watching wrestling, they asked me to love it. They could sell it. Yeah. When they go to WWE and do that, you can tell if they're a real fan, they know what they're doing. Like Brady, it was so weird and it seemed so out of place for me. Like I don't think he was one of those like, I want to do the Undertaker. Yeah. No, he's just like, I'm down for whatever and then they just say, all right, here's our plan. Yeah. You're going to hit this guy with a chair, then you're a slap Logan Paul. But when people say, like was Brady's thing, like you thought I was dead? Because I don't know what he was walking. The reason why it would work with the under is if he was like hurt, people thought he was done. Yeah. But like Tom Brady, we just saw him. He's like, now I'm going to get in the casket and people would think I'm dead because I'm in the casket. Yeah. That's very well lit room as I'm rolling in. What are you looking up Hank? I'm trying to watch the video again, you're trying to try to get some eyes on it. Maybe there's something you missed. There could have been something you missed. We don't have the TV's not on here. We got to get that on. Yeah. Let me do an ad real quick and then we'll talk some Open Championship and Hank's going to review this footage and give us, give us some thoughts. Uh, we're going to get right back to the show. On game day, get substacked high at Jersey Mike's, like the number 13 original Italian loaded with meats, cheese and toppings or the number 56 big kahuna cheese steak with grilled steak, peppers, onions and mushrooms topped with jalapenos and melty cheese. Get your sub-fix on game day and order in store or the Jersey Mike's app. All right. Back to part of my take. Hank, you gave, you gave a second look to it. Yeah. I still don't know what he was even walking in just still not following. Tough scene. Yeah. Tough scene, man. Very tough scene, man. Uh, how many chicks do you think go to fanatics fest? Mmm. What's that demo like? What's the, what's the breakdown? Probably. Well, no. Well, your ghost third floor. Yeah. The ratio probably comparable. Listen. There was a robot at your ghost. I didn't see a robot at fanatics fest. The director was there. Oh, he was there. He was there. Uh, yeah. It feels like I wonder how much these guys are getting paid. It's got to be a fair amount. It really is like the, the, the level of like, hey, this is how much of like any good will you have, we can just burn it, but you'll get a nice check. Yeah, it'll be really nice. Although, I mean, you probably, you probably make your money back if you go to like the business seminar where it's like Eli Manning and Anthony Edwards sitting talking to a crowd about how to build your brand. Yeah. You probably, the money, the money that you will make with the knowledge you get from hearing those two talk is probably well worth it. Actually, Shocker, like, paid, I don't think paid Manning was there. That seems like it's right up his alley. That's true. That's kind of weird. That makes me think that he might be there hiding and he's going to come out and choke slam Tom Brady. Yeah. As long as Carl Anthony Towns is there will be fine. Yeah. All right. The open championship. Uh, Ryan Fox. Who? Yeah. Ryan Fox. 39 year old New Zealander wins the open championship was actually a really awesome golf tournament. Uh, we had like drop, I mean, Cam Young was lights out on Sunday gets the clubhouse. We got guys trying to get like Scotty almost gets there. Uh, all the Sam Burns just couldn't, couldn't like break through and Ryan Fox who I love him because I don't think I've ever seen a golfer golfer faster than Ryan fought like even that last putt, which was it just kind of hung up there for an extra second. He stood up there and he just hit it and he said, he said afterwards. He's like, yeah, it's not hard to pick a club. I'm just. I'm golfing. I forget what you want me to do. I'm a golfing. I forget which hole it was on the back nine, but he had a shot at the bunker and he just walked up to and just hit it. Yeah. Like he didn't even stand in there and take like some practice. He just had his club walked up. He knew what he was going to do. I got to chip out and then I got to attack the green because I can't. I don't have a lot of sight at the green right now. Um, and he said he said it's not zero per zero time standing over the ball. He said it's not that difficult to pick a shot and pick a club. Yeah. I love that so much. And he ended up having to wait on 18 for a long time because the group's in front of him. So he was like, he was getting antsy in the team.
but yeah, very fun to watch him play because no nonsense. - He said, he told a story about how he played earlier in this year in a, in a threesome early in a tournament with Scottie Sheffler. And Scottie afterward said like, he's like, I feel like we were just playing two of us because you just, like, we never stood and watched you shoot a shot. You just, you just walked up and hit it. - Yeah, the difference between Scott and, and Sheffler this week was very simply just putting because-- - A Ryan Fox. - Oh, sorry, sorry, yeah, yeah. Fox and Sheffler was just putting because they both played about the same T to green. And then Fox just made every single putt, Sheffler made zero putst, zero big putst. So even though Scottie wasn't playing that well, he would be the first to say like, yeah, I putted like dog shit this week. He had a real chance, he had a real chance on Sunday, just if he made a single putt that was like 10 to 15 feet long, then he probably would have been in the running. Scottie, I think broke the record this year for most time being the favorite to win a major and not winning a major. Because I feel like every major was the exact same where even like today, it's like he's the favorite, it's like because he's somewhat close and he's the best golfer. We also had a little Seawoo Kim that you, you, you shot all over. See, that was instant. He was like, he texted us and you were like, I was rooting for Seawoo Kim. Yeah, I had nothing alive. And you're like, anyone else got Seawoo Kim and I think he shot a 40 on the back now. I was asking if anybody in the group was in the Seawoo crew because he was, I think he was in the lead at the time. Yeah, I think he had the lead. And I bet on him before the tournament, I think he was 48 to one. And so I was seeing if anybody else, 'cause we do sometimes have guys that are in the Seawoo crew. And the second I sent send on that text, bogey, bogey, like instantly, it was done from that second on. Tough back nine, but I do love, I do love, I love, I don't have as soon as you sent that. Oh, I love Seawoo and we always ride with Seawoo. And we love Seawoo tracker. Yeah, we love betting on Seawoo and it was instantly. I thought he was gonna do it and he was doing the dumb shit, like hitting driver off the deck out of the rough. I love watching golf. He's a fun golfer. And then one last thing about Ryan Fox, he is relatable PFT. I don't know if you know this, but representation matters. One of the, like his Ryan Foxe, where he came from in terms of this golf term, he's won a couple other tournaments on different tours and stuff, but like he's never finished, he's never been like a top 10 guy in majors and he was even in this tournament alone. He was, I think I saw something like, he was like 85th after the first day and then like 50th after the second day, just kind of came out of nowhere. One of the big stories from Ryan Fox in his history is that he had to withdraw from a golf tournament a couple years ago for kidney stones. - Oh, hell yeah. - So, love that. - We could do it. - Love that. - Yeah, that's a man's man. - Although I would have played through. - Yeah, I would have too. He also had a very relatable moment that he called his family, FaceTime is family right after 'cause they didn't, they weren't there. I don't think they assumed that he would win. And his daughter was just like, "When are you getting home?" Which was perfect. It's like you just won the Open Championship back to humble pie brother. - Yup. So the stat that I was looking at was most approach shots that were inside 20 feet this week. Fox had 31, Shephler also had 31. - Okay. - Just Fox was making all those pots. Shephler wasn't making anything. And Ryan Fox's dad is one of the most famous rugby players in the history of New Zealand. - Okay. - So his dad-- - And his grandfather was one of the most famous cricket players. - Yeah. His dad kind of changed how the game was played in New Zealand. He was a World Cup champion, won the very first rugby world cup. And I think he still has the all time record for most points scored in a single rugby world cup. - There you go. - So his dad was a legend. And then his son, you know that, you know that Ryan, if you were to ask him right now, like if you were to trade it in, would you trade in being a professional rugby player or being open champion golf in golf for the year? - Yeah. - You know he'd probably be a rugby player. - Yeah, yeah. We also had, before we get to Bryson, did you guys see that we have a tracker fight going on? With the rare tracker fight that I don't think anyone cares about the Jackson Subur tracker. There's two of them. And because he had an awesome round was it Friday, the Subur tracker and Subur tracker were at odds, fighting with each other, accusing each other of not updating accordingly and using AI. Just love a good old tracker fight. - Do we know who the good tracker was? - I think, so Subur tracker said talking about the Subur tracker saying, you mean the guy who hadn't tweeted about him for 18 months till this week and had horrendous tracking during the biggest round of his career today? - That's fair. - AI memes aren't tracking. Only one tracker who's been here from the start. So yeah, I think I'm a Subur tracker guy. - Yeah, I am too. You can't just parachute in. If you're a Subur tracker, you gotta be Suburban day in, day out. - Right, the Subur tracker. Now, yeah, he doesn't look like he had, so Jackson Subur had a nice tournament, but Subur tracker before that, let me just, I wanna make sure that we're exactly right. He, so July 17th, when did this tournament start? July 17th, this is important shit. This is a Pablo could never. - I believe it was the 17th, yeah. - The 17th. - That sounds right. - All right, so he was active this week. He was getting hyped for the 16th. - 16th, 16th. - He's the 19th, so yes. - He was getting hyped for this tournament. It looks like he was doing some nice, oh yeah, he's right. So July 16th, and then the tweet before that is March 28th, 2025. - Yeah, fuck that. That's a fair weather tracker. That's not what a true tracker does. - You can't be doing that. - No. - So we're a super tracker, guys. - I'm not the super to get this duh out of your name. - And you know what, Phil Mickelson tracker, I think I'm more of a Phil Mickelson tracker than I am, that's super tracker. - Yeah. - Because he tweeted, no doubt in my mind, Phil would've been in contention, heading into today's Sunday's final round. He always competes at link style courses. Hashtag the open. - I love that. - Like tracking a hypothetical round of a guy who's not playing. That is, that's the real tracker biz. - Yeah. - The super guy could learn a whole lot from that because like it's not always, listen, being a golf tracker, it's just as hard as being a golfer like. - Yeah. - The amount of disappointment you have to deal with, you put in the same amount of time as they do. You live and die every shot just like they do, and you know, 99% of the time you're doing all that work and it's for a guy that's not gonna end up winning. - And it was a very difficult tournament to track because NBC was, they were having trouble tracking the ball. Like I felt like multiple times, like where the fuck is the ball here? - Yeah. - And they just kind of moved the camera and just hope that you'd see it somewhere in there. But it was a good tournament overall, and we had Bryson on Friday, which was the ultimate Bryson. He gets a two stroke penalty for trampling down the grass. And then, which I don't think I've ever seen, they went back out there, he went back out there with the rules officials and argued his case for what felt like 20 minutes. God damn it, should they have miked that up. I wish that had been miked up. It delayed the whole like releasing of the T times for the next day. Hank, your rules guy, did he trample on purpose? Was there intent? - No. So you think it was a bullshit penalty? - I think relatively, yeah. Like I think Bryson, what he was doing is what all of them would do. And they were pretty strict on them. - Okay. - I don't think he was like, I'm gonna intentionally step on this and he wasn't doing it within 10. - All right, so I'm gonna do something rare for me. I'm kinda going to defend Bryson on this. I think that every golfer does stuff like that. And I think Bryson definitely did it and it's definitely against the rules. And he got caught for it and they enforced it against him because he's had some run-ins before. I don't think he was, it's a royal RNA or whatever. I don't think they're particularly happy with Bryson right now. I know Rory said, I'm not particularly fond of Bryson. I think it's performative. I think a lot of it's for attention. Which by the way, I love that Rory is like openly saying, I love it all, I love it. Now I think that Bryson cheated. I think that he knew that he was cheating. I think everybody tries to do that. Me personally, when I saw what Bryson got in trouble for doing, I thought to myself, is that against the rules? 'Cause I do that a lot. - Oh, I do it by hands. - Yeah, that's what I do every time I'm in some shows. - We golfed a couple weeks ago and I had Chef Donney literally sit on an entire tree branch. - Yeah. - So that I could swing. - Yeah, he definitely did it on purpose. He definitely got caught doing it. But they're selectively enforcing the rule against Bryson because I don't think they like him. And then after all this happened, Bryson missed a great opportunity to generate some good will, I think because if he had like taken it and been just like a gentleman about it, and not held up the whole tournament, and then going out there and played really well the next day, which he did, I think people would have been more on his side to be like, hey, kind of bullshit that you don't enforce that against anyone else, but good for Bryson for taking it and going out and playing. So like it's, it's kind of a perfect storm on everyone's part because Bryson had some good PR on the palm of his hand. And then just took a big dump on it. - Yeah, because he had the moment where it's like, I might not play tomorrow, which would have been the ultimate taking your ball and going home. - Yeah. - Yeah, he, I do think, I don't understand golf rules at all, tuning in to the internet and invitational coming up, we're taping it in August, but I think I'm a rules official again. I, he did have some heavy steps. That's what I would say. And again, I don't have, I couldn't, you could sit two people in front of me be like this is why it's a penalty this is why it's not a penalty I'd be like fuck I don't
know, all I know is just watching it. He did, he was kind of trampling around. But also who was that? Did that really change? I don't know. It opens up the can of worms. It's like now all these other videos are coming out of all the top golfers doing pretty much the same thing where it's like, yeah, like he was, he was, he was knew what he was doing, but he wasn't like, this is straight up cheating. And you could like move stuff with your hands in front of the ball. Yeah. That's, I mean, what's, what's the difference? Yeah, I don't know. So I also read online that they, uh, that's Rico said that they received the tip via social media, which is illegal, right? Which is against the rules. Yeah. So so, so Bryson should have got fought it that way. So yeah, Bryson, hey, Bryson, as your new self deputized PR firm here at part of my take, we strongly recommend that you sue. Yeah. He really drag, this into court, Bryson. He really did blow it though, because all you do is just take your, take your penalty. There, it was so clear on Friday when he's out there arguing his case, like, they're going to penalize you. There's no way that this is in a penalty. You wouldn't be out there if they weren't going to penalize you. So nothing you can say is going to change this. Just take your medicine, hope you finish within a stroke. And then everyone can be like, that was bullshit. Yeah. And fight for you. Yeah. Instead, you, you made a big stink of it. And then you didn't even get even come close. Yeah. That is enough. That is so funny. Yeah. And then hit is so like salty. Yeah. And then it was so Bryson was apparently hitting. He was at the practice range, like whistling and singing and humming and offering like beef snacks to guys. And just he's just such a, I just don't think he has the, he would actually be perfect for for for fanatics fest. Yeah. Yeah. He would do it all at fanatics, but sir, just don't go to the open next year, Bryson play. Just go to fanatics fest and like, I don't know, chip, chip golf balls with a QR code into the crowd. Yeah. But it was fun. It's fun to see. It's fun to have Bryson back as the bad boy, because I feel like we had that phase. We talked about it where he kind of found his home at live and YouTube and all that stuff. And then he probably fired all his PR people. And now he's back on his own and he can't make decisions for himself that aren't just like, dude, what are you doing? That's what I'm saying. We should just, we should help Bryson out. Bryson, I know you listen to the show. People have told us that Bryson listens. He'll deny it, but just sue the fuck out of him, dude. Everybody love that. Like Bryson, do a deposition in your stupid hat. Yeah. That would be so funny. Yeah. And hit your, uh, hit all your, your nine iron and everything's the same length and everything's the same loft. I don't understand any of that. Just the same is the same length. Everything's the same. Yeah. It was very funny, though, when they were handing down the punishment to Bryson and, uh, they showed him on the telecast and it was like 10 30 at night. And he was just out on the range, just hitting more golf balls. Yeah. Does he do that every tournament or was that just those performative? Okay. That was very performative, I think. I think he was, he was all eyes on Bryson. Yeah. Soak in my moment. Yeah. So such a good moment and let everyone think I'm not going to play tomorrow, even though I'm definitely going to play tomorrow. Yeah. But I also shout out to Roy because that was, that was very funny when Roy was basically. Yeah. Roy's was like, he was like, fuck this guy. Yeah. I like that too from Roy. Um, and honestly, like, I think there'd be a lot of people that would take Bryson side against Roy. It also is very funny. The only person that can make me like, Bryce. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Cause like, Scotty was like, I have a lot to say, but I'm not going to say it. And, and, uh, I sorry, I max say it. Like, cause that, that is the thing is like, the, a lot of people came out and they're like, I'm not known him to be a cheater because that's a big accusation to be like that guy cheats. So, but Roy was like, fuck it. Mm hmm. And then we just got a bunch of clips of Roy being very performative. Yeah. He's, you know, smashing tee boxes, you know, just peeling out of, uh, driveways and stuff. Got to almost hit those reporters. Remember that? Yeah, he did. He was very scary. I'm looking forward to the next year. Next year's major champion, you want to talk about a good slate of major championships next year. We got Pebble. Okay. And we got St. Andrews. Okay. I like that. First place in golf. Where are they playing the master's next year? Um, that's going to be had a gust of next year. Oh, yeah. Okay. Back in the rotation. Shack in the rotation. Yeah. Yeah. We had a weird major, uh, championship year because we had Roy start it with, you know, going back to back and then Aaron Rye, Wyndham Clark and Ryan Fox. Yeah. Not exactly, uh, like household names. No. And the year that Scotty gets shut out, he's got to be, he's going to be pissed because he is still the best golfer. That's got a, that's got to like eat away. He's just got to figure out how to put, you just got to figure out how to put against Scotty. Yeah. Very relatable. There was one shot that he had that was actually super relatable. I think there's maybe 17, maybe he was 16, but off the tee, he just, he hits the ball and he goes, how the hell is that slicing? He's like yelling at his cat. He's like, I don't hit a slice. Why? Why is my wife? Yeah, I saw that. Why is it slicing? Why is it slicing? And then he had this going. He had the great, uh, uh, ruling of the temporary object in what is it? T O I? Can you explain that to me? So I read a little bit about it. And essentially, if they, so Scotty got up there and they were like, all right, you can, it, it, like we know that it hit somewhere in here in one of these objects. Uh, you can take a drop from here. If you find the ball, you might have to take a drop from over there, which was a tougher angle. So Scotty basically told everyone, stop looking for the ball. We'll just take the drop right here. Yeah. So I guess it's for all these golf tournaments when they put in stands and all this stuff, a bunch of objects that are not normally on a golf course, you get relief from that. Is that, is that right, Hank? Yes. Okay. And that's why they were telling everybody like, don't look. Yeah. They're, he was like, don't look because if somebody said, hey, I got it. I found it. He would have still, it still would have been a drop because it was like under, you know, a air conditioning vendor said, well, no, not air conditioning is his England. But, uh, whatever, you know, if it was under a hot, yeah, yeah. No, beans hot. Yeah. A beans hot. Uh, they would have dropped from like farther away. So he got it from where it would entered. So good job by Scotty to use the rules. Wait in the rules, Scotty. There's so many fucking golf rules. So many. It's crazy. And the people that think they know them like they do not shut up. I learned a new one the other day that was pretty nuts. Do you know that if you hit, if you hit the ball and you think it goes out and then you hit a provisional and you hit a provisional shorter than where you think it went out, you can hit your provisional again and still go look for your ball. No, I didn't know that. Yeah. That's all. You can hit your provisional until you're basically where you're ball. It's a free shot. Basically to play two balls. Yeah. Yeah. On the fairway. Yeah. I like that one. It's pretty nuts. Yeah. That's good. Um, yeah. There's so many golf rules. I feel like we should, you, we need a golf rule expert. Zach, just become a golf rule expert. What if, what if Zach just memorized all the golf rules? I can get a textbook. Yeah. Oh, I guess the golf book. Okay. Um, other stories going on. Uh, well, I'm starting to get mad about LeBron, because now it's getting to the point where I'm expecting, like we're taping this right after the World Cup final. Yeah. And we're sort of taping a little bit earlier than on Sunday. I'm fully expecting him to announce at 9 p.m. tonight. Yeah. Like shit like that. Where it's like, I went to a, a movie on Thursday night. I was like, oh, LeBron's going to fucking announce during the movie. He's, he's now fucking us. Mm hmm. I'm becoming more convinced over the weekend that he might be going to Philly. Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, now it's just the calf or the heat. You think it's a heat, but what about him dropping like little clues? He was being all cute. Like I said, trust the process. Yeah. Then he immediately said it's not true that that wasn't for the Sixers. But he also said that what he would say if it was though, but he also, he also said, if you listen to the hints, then you don't, then you already know. And Tyrie's Halliburten said, it feels like you're on year 76 after saying that they talked about it offstage before their podcasts. Yeah. So there are hints. Okay. I think he's going to the Sixers. I think it's going to be. Congrats to Max and the Philadelphia 76. If we had a, uh, what do you call it? Memes sex, sex, cult, what do you say that the sexual sex, sex blood magic ritual that the show has? The Sixers would be incredible. I would become the biggest LeBron guy. And we would just, so we, like if you don't, if you didn't win a title, we would make you cry. We would make you cry on the show. That's not how that works. Yes, that is how I mean, imagine, imagine you until you cry. Imagine selling your soul to get LeBron. That actually made me not want to get on. And then he destroys your team. Like my entire, my entire like my hopes and dreams have been LeBron for the past two weeks. Right now they may have just. It would be incredible show dynamic. But yeah, we would, I would, we would all be like, we have to make Max cry. And then imagine if they lost to the Celtics in the playoffs. That'd be awesome. What a tale of a great show for him. That would, yeah. A lot of pressure. It'd be championship or bust. You know that. You couldn't, you couldn't say anything else. You know, I would say for Hank, like it would make losing that game seven to all worth it. If he could come back next year and beat you with LeBron, right? Yeah. Yeah. A lot of the table, Max. Yeah. I mean, he's going to, he's going to go to the heat. So like Savannah's not, Savannah's not going to Philly. She's not living in Philly. What about Cleveland? Maybe Cleveland. I'm already reported Cleveland. Yeah. Well, I think it, I think it's now the heat. What reason? Why is it the heat? Because Pat Riley said that he got, they landed one plane, they're going to land the other. Well, they, the odds, the odds jumped like a, like, but that's also people are just, yeah, like every little nugget they're just like freaking out about. What are the odds right now? Let's, let's look this up. Everyone's freaking out about every little news nugget or something. That would be, I would hate LeBron forever if he decided to, if he made a decision on something,
Sunday night after we recorded. - Yeah, no, I think that's just gonna happen. I think he's gonna decide tonight. It's crazy, but I really do. Lodork got traded to the hawks. - I saw that. - The hawks kind of got a nice little team going. - Well, how many second-round picks do Oklahoma City Thunder have? - A million. - They got three second-round picks. - They've got like nine second-round picks now, but yeah, interesting trade. I guess it was kind of a salary dump. - Yeah, it was to be expected, 'cause the thunderer and the rare spot where they just have too many really good players. - Okay, so here are the-- - Also, the Mavs got Zachary Recharse. So now they have two number ones. - Yep, that's kind of cool. - Yep, but you know, three number ones. Is Kyrie still on the Mavs? Yes. Damn, I might be, I might believe in the Mavs just by draft stock. - By draft capital? - Yeah, imagine like being like, "Hey, we got three number ones." - It doesn't matter what they are. - Yeah, so the Wizards have two Anthony Davis and Deandra A. - Oh three, we've got three. - Yeah, you got three. - Yeah, right? - Debenza, eighten, and then we've got two number two overall picks too. So here are the odds for LeBronza and Wizards' next team. Cavaliers plus 120, Heat plus 140, Warriors plus 450, Sixers plus 700, T-Wolves plus 2500, Wizards plus 3500. - Okay. - He's going to the Cavs or the Sixers. - I mean, the fact that the Heat or that Heat, yeah, I'm kind of with Max now. - Heat? - Somebody knows something. - We're on the Heat. Everyone's on the Heat now. You all right, Hank? - The Warriors have also flipped all over the place. - Wendy did say the only place he's not going is this. - He's like, "He ate them so much." - Which is good for you. - Yeah. - That's good Hank. - Yeah, fuck 'em. - And also to be like the first eliminated from it. Like I think you were eliminated before the Lakers. Which is crazy to say. Like the Lakers probably still are a little bit in the mix 'cause of Bronnie. - Yeah, they gotta be. - No one else wants you. Let's go back to this. All right, any other national sports stories that are going on that we should talk about. Trying to think, oh, go ahead. - I got one, Saber Metrics. - Oh, okay. - For us this week. And it actually ties in to the interview that we have coming up with Robert Salah. So have you seen Ryan Pagan any online? - Yes. - All right, so I guess he used to work for the Eagles a couple other teams. Maybe was it the Cardinals? - Yeah. - A couple other teams. It sounds like he was in charge of some special projects. Anyhow, he put together a stat online. He looked through every team that has removed a ping pong table from the locker room. - Oh, hell yeah. - Since the year 2001. So the reported, he found 20 confirmed reports of a head coach removing a ping pong table from a locker room of the eight of the nine teams improved going from a combined 49 and 96 the previous season to 74 and 71. So that's when they did in the off season. - Yeah. - The eight of the nine teams improved in the next year. In season, five teams improved, four declined, one stayed even. So it looks like the stats tell you, if you want your team to get better, take the ping pong table out. - Have to. - And then if you want to give it back, you can give it back later. - Yeah, then you get the bump. - As a treat for having the ping pong table. - As a treat, you've done a good job. Here's the ping pong table back. But yeah, so he went through it and he cataloged every single time that's happened in the report. I think that's very valuable information for us to have. - I agree. They just showed messy crying, by the way. Maybe sad. That's it. That's it for messy. - It's total, right? - That's probably. - I think so. - He probably would be better. I mean, he could maybe play in the next World Cup and still be better than Ronaldo, but. - This is the stadium that's retired him twice now from Argentinian football. - Yeah. What a career. - Yeah. I mean, that's a bummer. I guess you still have Inter Miami. - It's kind of amazing that Messi has stayed so good despite playing in the MLS. - I know. I know, usually a guy goes to MLS, it's over. - Pretty incredible. And when they actually got the ball at his feet in the last 10, 15 minutes of the game, like he was the best player on the field. - Yeah. - But fuck man, Spain was so good. - They were so goddamn good. All right, let's do it. - Argentina really was, they were not a good soccer team in all today. - No. - No. All right, let's do who's back of the week. We're gonna get right back to the show. - Hey Alabama, still blue coffees. New canned lattes are here and in a store near you. Crafted with 100% Colombian coffee.

My who's back of the week was Tom Brady. I guess also Phenatic's fast came scataboom. - Yeah. - That was exactly what you'd expect out of them. Like he was also doing the intro and decided to do a back flip. - John Harbob definitely had a hard attack at that moment. - Yeah. - But it also came, it's came scataboom. - Yeah, right. Back flip. - That's what he's gonna do. - And he fell down and then it looked like he was hurt again. It looked like he re-broke his leg, but then he stood up, he's like, no, I'm good. - The only reason came scataboom gets healthy is so he can get injured again. - Yeah, that's it. He is like the cool laid man. I expect that like everywhere he goes, he's just running into shit. - Yeah. - And then yeah, Tom Brady being a maybe a strange guy. - Yeah. - What we're talking about. - Yeah. - We did talk about he could be a strange guy. - Yeah, he is. Okay, you're who's back. - My who's back in the week is Drake May. Drake May was playing a kid's football game, like a flag football game this weekend. Again, I think it was like 10 year olds, 11 year olds, and he got picked off for pick six. It was third and six, too. - No was it. - Yeah, it was. - No was it. - It was third and six. There's no way. - I just made that part up, but you could see how it might be a third and six. - Where there were there. - It had to be because that's the only time that he would ever throw a pick six. - That's true. - Like, it's not on first and 10, it's not second and 10. He throws touchdowns. - Hank? - Do you see a clip, Hank? - I did not see the clip. - It was like a 10 year old pick six and Drake May was pretty cool. - That sounds like he was hardly doing it on purpose. - He was given the kid a moment. - A moment, yeah. - A moment, yeah. - He was a great moment. What a good guy. - Yeah. - I was actually a great play by this guy. - Yeah, that's why I think Drake May is such a good guy. - He's high-stepped on him, too. - He made it look like he was trying not to throw in the reception so good that the kid will always believe that it was real. - Yeah. - That's a great guy. - My who's back is James Harden. He's fat again. Do you see a picture of him looking fat again? - I've not seen the new James. - I think that this might actually be why we're waiting on LeBron. He probably texted Harden. He's like, dude, can you show me you can lose 10 pounds? Like just getting a better shape. - Look at this picture. It's a tough angle. - I'm looking at him right now. - Yeah, he looks fat again. He does. - No, it's the beard, too. The beard adds probably 25 pounds. - Yeah, and my other who's back is, well, Shohei is no longer pitching. Did you guys see that? - Yep. - He is gonna take a break from pitching. So everyone could maybe win the NL MVP again. I did maybe bet PCA. School of the Cubs had their 2016 reunion. This weekend was pretty awesome. Do you see Theo got instantly got a shirt who's wearing a Twinkle D Twinkle Dump shirt? - Love that. - For on Friday. That's awesome. - I love that. Also, did Rizzo catch another home run? - Yeah, he did. 'Cause I saw I was watching the game with no sound on in a restaurant on Saturday. And then all of a sudden there was a reporter interviewing Rizzo in the state and the bleachers again. Pretty much having to say, it looked like they were having the same conversation they had last year on Rizzo Day. - He didn't catch it on the fly. I actually think my friend Nick Friedell, who's a reporter for ESPN, might have been the one who caught it and gave it a Rizzo. But yeah, they did a whole thing where the whole team was basically in the bleachers. They were interviewing them throughout the game. It was awesome. It was seeing Jake Arietta, seeing Kyle Hendrix, all these guys. It's crazy how fast 10 years has gone. Because that was the only bummer of it is being like, I feel like some of these guys should still be playing. You know what I mean? And just seeing some of them being like, wait, shit. But it's only, you know, Havi and Shorber and Chris Bryant, who's, I, he's on the Rockies, I think. - Technically playing. - He's technically still on the Rockies and Contrares. - Yeah. - All right, Zach, you're who's back the week. Oh, also the part of my book is we're getting close. I think we're, we're actually Saturday was a month away. We're a month away. So get excited. We're a month away from the book coming out. We're very, very excited for everyone to buy it and listen to it and read it. - Awesome interviews from a bunch of people. Zach, you're who's back the week? - My, who's back this week is gonna be a K and Clark. - Yeah. - I break in records, dropped another 40 piece. - Yeah, she was awesome. - Pretty impressive, yeah, she did a fantastic job. - She had what, like, what was this on Friday Saturday? - She was like 40 and 10. - Yeah, insane. - You watched the game? - I did not watch the game, saw some clips though. - Oh, also who's back?
the week. Zach, Max, can you tell the story about Friday night? Because we went to the Cubs game Friday night company outing a lot of fun. Uh, you guys went out after and I saw this. What's going on with Zach? Zach is the most interesting man in the world. And this was just another case of that. Uh, we're at the bar after the Cubs game. And he somehow drops to everyone that he's 5 11 when he's just significantly taller than a lot of people who claim to be 6 1, some even claim to be 6 2, which Zach is taller than. And then he said, and then he dropped the line. He was like, I think all of you guys are lying about your height. I think I'm right. Mm hmm. And he goes, even if I am 6 foot, I'm going to stick with 5 11. I love that. He's the only honest man here. Zach, we're going to have guys who would give anything to say they're 6 feet. You're just, you're doing the reverse. You know, I just think like we're talking about. I don't know how heights came up. And I was like, probably 5, 5 11 without shoes. Zach, I think, I think it's more practical in people thing. If I took my shoes off and we did height measurements, I'm probably right at 5 11. How tall are you? There's no shot. You're 5 11. I'm 6 feet. All right. Come here. Yeah. There we go. We're like lost in a high man. Yeah, I got to go back back to back when I go to the doctor. They tell me that I'm 5 11 and a half, but I'm obviously running that up. So wait, Max, is, are you saying that when he has shoes on, he is 6 feet tall? He's 6 feet. Zach is 6 feet tall without shoes on. He might be 6 or 1. Yeah. I think he's 6 1. Zach, get in here. What happened was we were running into a lot of guys who kept saying they were 6 2. And I was like, well, there's this discrepancy is too high. Either you're running way too far up. And I'm, and I knew that you were running down though. He's still fighting like Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant refuses to admit that he's 7 feet. I'm going. Here we go. They're coming. I think Zach is taller. He also slouches a little bit. Yeah. You have to admit Zach, you do slouch. You have a little shoulder's back. Yeah, good posture. There you go. Stand tall. Stand back. Back to back. Oh, hey, you gotta take off your shoes too, then. Take off your hat, Zach. Okay, this is big time. I think Zach, Zach, you're tall. You're, you're an inch taller than for the camera. You're, all right, you got a real tape. Rotate, rotate, rotate. Oh, rotate. Spin. Start spinning. Oh my. Zach, Zach's done. Keep your shoes off, Zach. You're six. You're six ones out. I think there was a lot. I think there was a lot of height misinformation out there the other day is what I think we ran into. Can they stand in the middle so we can stand in the middle? They want to see stand in the middle, stand in the middle for the audience at home. Yeah, we were just standing. No, this camera. Yeah, stand close to the desk. Yeah, back to back. Back to back. Yeah. Closer to the desk. Yeah. Take the hat off, stand up tall. Zach, you are a solid, no, what are you doing? You guys are, this is a back to back. It's impossible. All right, here we go. Zach, you are a solid half inch, maybe inch taller than Hank. No, we're doing it right now. Okay, he's got the, he's got the tape measure. This is, this is going to be what, what Hank? What? Hey, he's, all right, Max got him up against the wall. Max is going to measure Zach. Oh, he's got, okay, we got a book and a tape measure. He's got a book. Max, there's no way Max can be able to do all this. This is a, oh, he's, oh, he's drawing a line. Oh, I like that smart move, Max. Stand up tall, Zach. And then every year we should have Zach do that. So we can track his growth. Yeah. Okay. That's like Deutsche, Deutsche hat is convinced that Deutsche is growing still at 37 years old. These convinced he's got a couple more to happen. All right, Max is giving us, and then Max, don't say it until you go back in the, in the room, into the mic. Okay, go, go, go deliver it in the mic. Go deliver the news in the mic. Go. Yeah, special group here. It's just quite something. It's, uh, officially six foot and a half without you. Okay. So it's not even close. You're not even close to 5 11. Zach's got to start saying that he's six feet, you're six once, Zach. Like, what do we do with no shoes? There's, there, like when he wears shoes, he's closer to six, too. You're, you're killing guys that are 5 11 that have just spent their whole life wishing to be six feet. You're just wasting it. You're wasting your six feet. So you've been in the six foot club for a long time, and you just don't want to be in it. I guess I'm in now. Okay. Congratulations. You're, you're, you're, you're not even close to not be like six, six foot and a half is six one. But I was also the same height as a lot of guys. Yes, he was like, I'm six three. So it goes the same way. No, no, no, no, no, one wrong. So Matt, so Zach, you're, you're the most trustworthy six one person out of all. Yeah. Because you, you're legitimately six feet and a half with no shoes on. You put a pair of shoes on. You're easily six one and a half. You also got to realize that anything over six feet, it doesn't really matter. If someone's saying or six one or six, two, that doesn't matter. 5 11 to six feet is a big deal. So for, but for me to claim 5 11, it's like, you know, I'm 5 11 at least. No, no, no, no, you can say 5 5, because like you're guaranteed to 5 5. He's got it. He's got all the numbers up to six one. Yeah, he's all the above. Zach, it actually for us shorter guys, it makes us look a lot worse that you're saying that you're 5. Right. Right. If you're 5 11, pft's 5 6. Yeah, that's tough. I can't, that's not right. We're doing it. I need those extra two inches, Zach. I'm every bit of 5 8, but with you saying that you're 5 11, people look at me and everyone that's shorter than you, you're making them look very short. I was never looking to do that. So if there's any, any feelings of shame from many heights, I'll make sure to claim every inch. I need to claim every inch, but not any extra. I just need to be honest. Zach, it's like you'd be walking around with your hat off being like, yeah, I'm bald. Like you say, when you're six foot and a half, you're allowed to say six one. Like you, yeah, you could say six foot. No one says six foot and a half. You're six one. Like I'm six two and a half. I don't like you're six three. Like I don't say six two and a half. That's a weird thing to say. You would go to six two or do you go six? I say six three. Oh, okay. You round up. You learn something. I mean, someone like nails it down. I'm like, yeah, I'm actually six two and a half. What do you want me to say? But yeah, you, you round up. If you're a half, you round up. See, I just, I didn't see it come in because it became something way bigger than I thought it ever was. Very quickly. Oh, man. Well, the people who were who the problem was there were a lot of people who claimed that they were six foot and Zach was significantly taller than those people. And then they started to get mad. Yeah. And then I can see I started to get mad. He just called everyone else liars. But you are kind of like the Batman for making sure that people be honest about their height. Yeah, it is like, if there is somebody that was not six feet tall, but actually, no, you're making him dishonest about his height. Yeah, but I'm just saying, like, if they weren't, if there were five 11 and Zach was saying, hey, I'm five 11, too, that would be good. But I feel like my dishonesty, that was at a pure ignorance that dishonesty because I was up until right now, I went in and show off from what the wall was. Like, that's relatively close. Inge and a half. Inge and a half. So it would be, yeah. It's really having fun with this trophy. Messy crying. Did you see Messy crying? Yeah, it's on. I said that. It broke my heart. Messy's got one more. And we got James Corden and Prince Harry coming up for something. Oh, no one fucking wants to watch at all. The big two. Yeah. Why did he get a show after I was at just he's got a British accent. So probably like, hey, America, this guy's got a British accent. When I watch sports, I'm like, that was good. I can go for a night cab with James. Yeah, James Corden bringing it up. All right. Let's do Mount Rush. One of them will get to our interview with Roberts. Still blue coffees.

Animals we'd like to get drunk with. Hank is back. Hank, Zack did a pretty good job in your in your absence. Yes he did. I heard a rumor that you are you gave Zack the ball for this. No. Oh, okay. Combo. Yeah. Okay. Great. Who said that, Max? No, it wasn't Max. It actually was not Max. Memes. Yes, it was memes. So your equal parts in this is Zach. Yeah. All was not giving up. All right. No, I just told him whatever he thought I like I don't have a lot today. Yeah. Whatever you think I have, it's probably less. But I'm leaving it all out there. I'm giving everything I have. I love that. I did so bad last week. I was trying to figure out why. And I think it's like like Magic Bird thing. Like I need Hank around. Yeah. Iron sharpens. I think we I think Higgs. Higgs quote was actually if you think I have nothing I have left. Exactly. I mean, combined. We don't have a lot. All right.
So we're doing Mount Rushmore of animals you'd like to get drunk with. By the way, send in your Mount Rushmore to Zach. Open-ended ones are the best. Like we were talking about doing superheroes. Maybe we'll do superheroes later on Mount Rushmore season. But like, those are very straightforward. The open-ended ones that are like, what does this even mean? We're getting drunk with animals. That's kind of fun. I think there's some clear choices. Yeah, but the more open-ended, the better Rushmore. So send those in to Zach. You guys are first, I believe. Were second, is that correct memes? No, I think we're third. I went third last time. We fucked this up every time. Memes, you know. No, you went first. No, wait. No, he went third. He went third when Larry Burr. All the good birds were taken. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're third. I would've gone bald, he goes first, third, second, first. Yeah, we're second. No, no, we'd be third. Didn't we go first? We went first on Friday. Yeah, so we go second. But PFT, so is PFT first? Yeah. Oh, okay. Got it. Right, you just moved down one, right? I don't know. Right. All right, we got to figure this out. Let me see what we did last Monday. Yeah. We go first on Friday. Every week is the same. Max, look up last Monday's and last week was the same. The weeks before, not the same. 'Cause July 4th, last week was the same, though. Yeah, we were first on the Mondays and then we only had the one. Yeah, don't say that. But now we're saying too many things. You're saying things to confuse us? All we care about is all sweet. Don't say that. All we care about is that. We went first, Hank and Zach went second. The previous one, Hank went first. PFT went second. Okay. So that means, and then we went third on. Yeah, we just moved one to the right. So we're second. Oh, PFT's first. Yes, I'm first. Okay, got it. Yeah, that makes sense. We went second last Monday. Yeah, we got it. Yeah, I know. But I got it right now. Yeah, now you got it. All right, ready? Hank, you got that? Yeah. (laughing) So, Hank, you're going third. Got it. Okay. One, one, Gorilla, with a bullet. Would love to get hammered with a gorilla, especially one of the gorillas that knows sign language. And then you can kind of have a conversation. Gorillas would be able to pound beers too. I thought a little bit too much of this Mount Rush in order of what animal would also want to kill me after getting drunk, like bad drunks. That was why I was a little scared of gorilla, but we had it on our list. No, Gorilla, I've drank with some guys that have the same personality, where it's like, they're cool, but don't let them think that you're challenging them, 'cause then it goes bad. Gorilla will be a lot of fun. Well, what do you guys want to do? I think we should go one-one there. Sure, let it rip. Okay. Dog. Everyone man's best friend. Just get drunk with your dog. It would be so sick. Let's go back. Let's have a beer on the backyard porch with your dog. Yeah, rock. We are gonna go with the giraffe. Ooh. Okay. Now, how would you get it to the, how would you get the beard of the giraffe? I think you can't really chill with the giraffe. It's so much taller. Well, it's so much taller than Hank. Not so much taller than Zach. It's true. No, but what if you were just on the second floor of your house and like the giraffe? It's like. Okay. Yeah, they're like that. Yeah. That was my main bugaboo with giraffe. It's like, how am I gonna get the drink to them? Also, if you're at the bar, it can get the good stuff. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay. That looks like it does sound so. Okay, continue. Yeah. Zach. Like you're on a balcony and the giraffe just chilling outside. Pretty cool. Hank, what do you think about going nine or going four? Either one of those. Okay, we would like to take donkey from Shrek. Mm-hmm. Okay. Okay. Don't get it. He'll talk to your ear off. Yeah, you will. Mm-hmm. Gets in trouble. I think we go three. Three? Yeah. All right. We think that culturally they can drink very well and you can just kind of stand there and have a good conversation. We're gonna take Kangaroo. Kangaroo. Kangaroo's tall. Kangaroo's tall. Kangaroo's tall. Kangaroo's tall. Kangaroo's tall. Yeah, no. But have you ever thought about the fact that maybe Kangaroos are fucking people up because no one ever shares their beer with them? True. So the minute you start sharing a beer with them, they're just like, oh, dude, this is all we've ever wanted. Just put some ice in the, it's a little pouch. Also, if you become friends with it, he's the one that you'd want on your side in a fight. Kangaroo. Kangaroo would definitely have like a little bag of something. Yeah. Like a ball in their pouch. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you pat down to Kangaroo. You're not gonna, you're not gonna take anything off, Kangaroo. No. Kangaroo Jack. Yeah. That moved your sock. Yeah. Yeah, they said that Kangaroo is gonna talk, never did. Never talked. All right. So now I got two. Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go with Pandabar. Pandabar list. Pandabar list. Pandabar list. Pandabar list. Pandabar list. Be a lot of fun. Yeah. I think you're thinking of cats. They're quality. Or baby. Or gullies. Or, yeah, they're high all the time. All right. So Pandabar. And then my next one, I'm gonna go with Raccoon. I think a Raccoon would be like a little mischievous, a little fun. I got shut down. Raccoon. I said Raccoon. Yeah. Raccoons are like, they're sneaky. They're cute to say. Fight against the Max. Raccoon. Yeah. They're sneaky cute. They're literally a trash animal. They're living in a trash. They're fun. They're fun. You're from Philly. They're also like just, they're mischievous. They'll get you into some predicaments. They'll help you solve some puzzles. Are you nervous about rabies? No. Okay. I mean, you can make that argument for a lot of reasons. Raccoon is a hero. Yeah. Although I just know like Raccoon is the one, one pick of, if you see Raccoon in the daylight, rabies. Yeah. For Raccoon, it's being like super, super friendly too. It's their night guys. Maybe rabies. They like to be night. So yeah, night out. You go out and have a good time at night with the Raccoon. Nocturnal. Okay. Where do we want to go, boys? I guess two. Two. Two I like. I like. Ten is the other one. I don't, it means you like ten at all. We'll get ten. We'll get ten. Okay. So then do you like nine at all or no? I like nine. Two is so funny. Two is funny. Yeah. All right. Fine. Fuck it. A pig. Pigs rock. Pigs could drink a shit. Like whenever you watch like a viral video of the people who got pigs for pets, you're like, that dude fucking chills and they grub. Like you would just they drink drink a ton of booze, eat a ton of grub like a case race with the pig. Yeah. It would be awesome. I do like I like the videos of like apartment pigs. Yeah. That's why I pay and then they got too big. Yeah. Like there's part of me that thinks that those people that have those pigs are already already drinking with their pigs. They're definitely getting drunk with their pig, a hundred percent. That's just a pig is basically just an offensive lineman for an animal. Yeah. Drink. That's an awesome way to put it. Yeah. I mean, oh no, it's going to put a name to it. I'm not going to do a name because that would be mean. It's like getting fucking drunk with my kid. Yeah. Shadow kid. He's actually really strong like remarkably strong. He'd beat the fuck out of this. He would beat the fuck out of a sometimes he puts his hands on me and I'm like, please don't. Ow. He's just got easy strength and he's a very funny guy. Kind of like a pig would be funny. All right. Two for you guys. We are going to go with a bald eagle. What? Okay. I'm pretty sure that's a felony. Why? Tell us what I want to get drunk to put the boys in America's animal. What would you want? It's the symbol of our country. All right. It goes rock. Right. That's your man. Zach. We just crush beers and he flies. This is the pandering for the graphic that you accused me of a couple weeks ago. No. Not at all. Not at all. I don't know. I feel like bald eagle is like there. Bald eagle's rock. They're spending their time protecting America. They don't need to be getting drunk. It would be awesome. They're serious animals. To fly after beers though. I think that's nice. But you want to get to fly and they can fish for you. Why could we fly? You. No. You get drunk. You don't get to become the animal. Do you think they're strong enough to pick you up and fly you home? Why didn't we start down in the bald eagle? But yeah. No. What? You get a bald eagle drunk. All of a sudden you lose all the majesticness of the bald eagle. Right. It's sloppy drunk. He's farting. He's throwing that. He's falling over a cliff. Oh, shit. I thought he was. I thought he was supposed to be, you know. He go grab us a snack. We make a ceviche. You know, he just goes. Goes hits the sea real quick. Okay. Okay. Our last partner is a walking snack. Just get him drunk and then just, let's fuck up. He got big. Okay. You getting another one? Lastly, we would like to be. Terradactyl. Oh. We're going to take penguin. Okay. Good pick. Penguin's a good pick. We had to be cold. We had to be cold. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good pick. If you read the diaries of the dudes that went to Antarctica, like the Shackleford expedition, there were boys with the penguins. Yeah. They were like their best friends. I feel like penguins got jokes. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I don't think we should go fictional animals. I think we should say straight. I like it. And I think we should take nine. Yep. Okay. Because they're just dudes. Yeah. It's kind of the similar. We're just trying to think of like frat dudes. Dude. Manatee. Those guys are just slow moving dudes.
it out in like the ocean. - You're the chill? - What? - That just goes, "Fuck it, it's a good pick." - Just for everyone listening at home, he's been doing that at the entire time. - After Hank said "Bald Eagle," he goes, "Fuck it, fuck it." - Both good picks, but Manatee's are making good. - Yeah, Manatee's, you know Manatee's Zach. They just hang in shallow water. Like you just be chilling in water, you know? - He keeps cutting his mic off and then talking to us about what you say. - Yeah, go ahead and talk. - Yeah, I hate to say that they do float around pretty good. - Yeah, yeah, and they just kind of bump into shit. - They're fun. - And then you gotta stay out of their way. - Yeah, legally, you're legally bound. - No wake in this zone. - Yeah. - You say to him, he's like, "You're like, Zach, you know." You see him, he's like, "Yes, unfortunately I do." (all laughing) - Love Manatee's. - Good pick. - Yeah. - We just picked fat dudes. - My last pick. - My last pick, the ultimate dude. - I just want to take Stanford Steve. He's an animal. - Okay. - Technically true. - Yeah. - It is. - So then we could have just done humans. - All of humans. - Okay, I'll take stand, I will remove Stanford Steve from the big board. I understand you're. - He's a perfect dog moment. - But he is correct. - Yeah. - He's a great dog moment. - All right, so instead of Stanford Steve, I'm gonna replace him. I'll replace him with octopus. - Mmm. - I hold a lot of drinks. - All right, hold all the drinks. Imagine octopus bartender. - Yeah, bring all the drinks to you. - Ask him to make you a drink. - I don't hate that. - He pours everything at once. - Yeah, bring you up to the underwater. - Same with the Manatee. - The Manatees are very shallow water. So you could kind of just chill. - Octopus has gone out of water. - Yeah, octopus, you could probably get them into. They could hold all the drinks. - All the drinks. - Okay. - What do we miss? - Elephant? - Yeah. - No, no. - I feel like they take one wrong, what if they take one wrong drunk and step? Boom, you're dead, chill. - You dance with the devil. - They drink all the beer. - Yeah, they would drink all the beer. - But they know where to get the peanuts. - True, true. - Sniff out some nuts for you. Qualifier, I think would be kind of cool, but it's already kind of drunk. - Yeah, we had Qual Bear on there, monkey. Yep, a monkey just kind of jumping around, grab and drink. 'Cause also a monkey could steal the drinks for you off the bar without them realizing. - I have a question. I watched the Michael Jackson movie this weekend. Do you think he was just drinking with all of his animals? - Hmm. - Oh, like Bubbles of Monkey? - Yeah. Mostly, mostly Bubbles of Monkey. - Yeah, I think Bubbles was because he loves champagne. - Yeah. - Yeah, wait. Oh, yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - God, I gotta get smart. I gotta get quicker. (laughing) - You had some beers this weekend, it's not your fault. - Nah. - That's no excuse. Wednesday, you guys cracked jokes and it takes me (laughing) - What do you guys think about Honey Badger? - Yeah. - In case he starts shit, he's got your back. - I was, yeah, Honey Badger, I liked that. I was thinking Squirrel got shut down. I think Squirrel would be kind of cool. 'Cause it's like almost, Squirrel kind of just run around, it's in your pocket. It's not, it's on your shoulder. - I feel like it's probably a chipmunk too. - Squirrel's having anxiety though. - Maybe chipmunk might be better. - Yeah. - Whatever the, I asked in the group chat and no one gave me an answer to this to memes and max. I was like, who, whatever the little guy was in Lion King, the Timon and Pumbo. - Wait, it's a Google, we couldn't Google, so I didn't see it. - Prairie dog. - I liked that guy. - Those muskrat. - That would be cool. - Maybe Muskrat, yeah. - Yeah, that would be Muskrat. - Maybe Mirkat. - I never got, I just, it fell on death, death years when I asked for a Mirkat. - I was like, someone helped me out with this 'cause I don't know what it is. - But I didn't know either and you can't go. - 'Cause taking a Wardhawk too. - Wardhawk'd be great, yeah. - Lion, Mike the Tiger. - Oh, Mike the Tiger would've been good if he'd went specific. We had a couple fictional Patrick Star, Brian from Family Guy. - Scooby-Doo. - Scooby-Doo would be nice. What about a wolf? It's like a wolf to be chill. - Yeah, it's just, it's just worst dog. - Yeah, it's a scarier dog. - Yeah, but smarter. - Wait, let's chill. - Oh, you know what I'm good? - I actually don't like getting drunk with smart people. I'd much rather get drunk, don't you? - A bison. - Yeah, bison, go fuck up that old guy right there. - Yeah. - Next to the chick with the Ryan Fitzpatrick Dolphin Jersey. - We'd better a Clydesdale. - Yeah, I think a horse, we had real donkey. - Not Shrek, we had an actual donkey, but I think a horse would be cool. - Would be cool, 'cause then you just ride home on him. - Yeah. - Or Orca. He wouldn't eat you. - Yeah. - Dolphin? - Dolphin would be cool. - Dolphin would be pretty chill, you could talk to him. - Sea Turtles gotta be pretty chill. - Sea Turtles, oh, that's a big mess, yeah. Sea Turtles will be awesome. Actually, Sea Turtles is a great pick. - If this was animal to get high with, I think Sea Turtles might be one one. - Sea Turtles is a great pick. - Just 'cause of finding Nemo. - Yeah. (laughing) - I like, I don't really understand if foxes can fuck you up, but they're cute. - They're? - Yeah. - I think that would be a cool one to get. - Busy tail, yeah. I like you, I like a good fox. - Yeah, fox would be cool. - What about a keepy bearer? - Those guys are chill. - They're like furry manatees. - Yeah, those guys are chill. Those guys could definitely drink some beers. - Yeah. - I was thinking sloth, but it would probably annoy you how slow it would be. - Yeah. - It would be cool to just watch a sloth can drink. - Not the lady that performs at halftime, but the animal, Red Panda. Red Panda's would be kind of cool. - Yeah. - Also the lady that performs at halftime shows. - You wanna get fucked up with her? - Yeah. - Would you, Zach and Hank, did you guys have any honorable mentions? - Or was that it? - Zebra, elephant, dolphin, crush the needle from finding Nemo. - Oh yeah, but James said that. - Michael Angelo Ninja Turtles. - Yeah, that'd be cool. That'd be really chill. - All right, good Mount Rushmore. - And send us, Senzac. - Mount Rushmore topics. - No one said cat. - No, which I agree with. - Why would you? - I just wanna say for the time I agree with it. - Maybe if it was who would you wanna get like a Martini with and judge people? - Yeah. - That would maybe be a cat, a Siamese cat. - Yeah. - Who do you wanna cry with? - You know, that would not be fun. - Snake would be terrible. - Snake would be bad time. - By far the one of the worst. - Bad time. - Snake would. - It's sock, maybe an anaconda. - No. 'Cause they would just, that's an accidental death waiting to happen. - Most of these are probably looking at it. - Yeah, the high likelihood of death. Okay, especially Stanford Steve. - Good Mount Rushmore. Let's get to our interview with Tennessee Titans head coach, Robert. - Using the outdoor camera series two in advanced AI alerts.

And now here's Robert Salah. - Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest. It is head coach of the Tennessee Titans, Robert Salah. Coach, great to have you here. Thank you so much for coming. We're here at the American Century Championship. Let's start with the Titans. I mean, how are we feeling? Like you get the job, you got a new stadium coming, you got a new quarterback. How is like the beginning of putting in the culture and everything feel? - It's been great. You know, we got a really young football team. Mixed in there, we got some veterans, but you know, we've got a young team that we're excited to develop. We're excited to get the camp and attack this thing. We got a really grueling training camp ahead of us. We've got three different scrimmages with Seattle, San Francisco and Chicago. So it's gonna be, it's gonna be fun. We're gonna find out a lot about ourselves during the month of August. - Yeah, now did you specifically only hire bald guys? That's the rumor. I mean, you got Dable and then Gus Bradley is your OC and DC. It feels like this might be like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Like someone interviewed with Aaron. You're like, "No, get him out of here." - It's like rumors, but from all over the day. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - When they say we're interviewing people, you kind of gravitate to people who are similar to you. - Yeah, did you have a moment where you're like, "Oh shit, we might have too many bald guys." - No, you know what, bald is beautiful. (laughing) - Yeah, man, it's natural that you just fill your stuff up with beautiful people. But no, you know what, Dable's outstanding. He's recognized throughout the league. His schemes are tough. He's been, he's developed quarterbacks throughout his tenure. And, you know, Gus Bradley, I thought Gus was gonna end up back in San Francisco. So I wasn't thinking about it when I had a conversation with Kyle and I found out that Gus was available. I mean, that's when for the Tennessee Titans for sure. So getting those two as our coordinators were very fortunate. - Yeah, it was. I guess it was Pete Carroll's staff, right? - Yeah. - He had a thing for bald defensive guys too. Again, Quinn, Gus Bradley. - Were you big back then too? - I was, I gave up. I took a long look at my dad around my freshman year in high school and I was like, "Yeah, I'm just gonna end this now." And I've been, so I've been chained my head since about my freshman year in high school. - No, smart, you gotta head in the store. - Yeah. - Gotta head a bit. - Yeah. - So there's one very important part of Tennessee Titans culture. I don't know if you're familiar with this part of it, but I wanted to just give you a quick pop quiz. Do you know who the mascot for the Tennessee Titans is? - I'm learning it. I know what he looks like. I don't know his name yet. - T-Rack. - You're right. - That's right.
- Have you seen the record? I've seen them around. - I haven't, that's quite a mascot. - He's a rascal. - You know what, shame on me. I've got to get educated on the history behind it. - Yeah, and the new uniforms look awesome too. - They're outstanding. - I think that's as important as no disrespect, as important as changing a head coach. Is that a good coach? - You gotta look good, you feel good, play good, but no, I think the design team and the effort that they put in for that design. - Like I said, I think it's a home run. - Yeah, was there, when it ends with the jets and then you go back to San Francisco, was there a moment where you're like, that was my only shot? Like I'm probably not gonna get another shot because it's great, you got another shot pretty quickly, but did you have a moment where like, maybe I'm just a defensive coordinator? - Yes, and no, I guess, I guess in the immediate aftermath, but you know, you just, I mean, not to get religious on everyone, you put trust in the good Lord and you trust your family and you do the best you can and you hope for another opportunity. And, you know, the jets were, my experience with the jets was outstanding. Like I said, I learned a lot. You know, there's no, there's no handbook for first time head coaches. There's really no handbook for the first time at anything you do. And, you know, we had a lot of great moments. We built a, what I feel was a really good football team and, you know, the, you know, things, what happened just, just certain ways, you know, like love Aaron, you know, who knows? If Aaron doesn't tear his Achilles four plays in and, you know, unbelievable team A, unbelievable football player with that football team that we had in 23, who knows what would happen? But, you know, things happen for a reason. I'm grateful for the way things have turned out. I'm fortunate to get another opportunity and hopefully through all the things that we've learned throughout for me, just speaking for me that we're able to take into Tennessee and build something special. - What would you like to do, or what would you like us to do with the receipts? 'Cause you told us to take receipts. - Can we get some, like, refot? Like, what do we do with the receipts? 'Cause I took a receipt and I was like, all right, we'll have this conversation sometime. - Your CVS receipt, it was a pretty long one. - It was a golden, so the receipt thing happened. I'll tell you guys a funny story. So, the receipt thing comes out of my mouth, which is unlike me, 'cause I'm not, I try not to do headlines and we're sitting there and chub scores to go up 13. The kicker missed the kick. And I'm actually talking to LaFlure at the TV time out. Hey, give me some notes 'cause I know I'm like, it's Cleveland the next week and I'm like, I'm gonna get frickin' roasted in the media. And so I'm getting myself ready. I mean, it's shooted. It's, and then they, you know, they have a busted coverage. And we hit that, whatever, touch on them like, shit, we're back in the series. And we get the onsite and we score, like it was the most bizarre two minutes that I've been a part of in a long time. But, but no, you know, that season, like I said, that season was rolling pretty good. I think we were seven and four after the Chicago game. Mike White breaks his ribs and all hell breaks loose. But like I said, there's a lot of things that I could have done differently that year too. A lot of things differently that I could have done in 24 in 23 and 24 and, with every year, you learned something new, so. Yeah, we work with a lot of Jets fans, good amount of Jets fans in our office. And the couple days after that Monday night game, to say that they were depressed would probably be the biggest understatement. Like I felt like they didn't want to come into work. They didn't want to wake up. Like it was a dark time for them, and I understand why. What was it like for you waking up that next day and the rest of that week, were you feeling that same way? There's a lot of mixed emotions from a coaching set, from a coaching standpoint. You got a job to do, yeah. For sure, there's one for Aaron, 'cause I know how much work you put in, how important it was for him to have success after being, I mean, he's all a family, he hadn't done the prove, but there's still something to prove when you leave your organization. And he was elite with regards to being a teammate throughout that all season and getting himself and the team ready and unified. So for him to go down and lose his entire season, just like that, I mean, I sympathetically just sucked for him. And then just, you know, we're very fortunate. I try to tell people that I tell my wife this all the time that how many professions in the world get to, or how many people in the world get the experience, every emotion the human body has to offer in a four hour window on Sunday, in this case Monday. And you talk about that moment, and it still gives me goosebumps, 'cause the team comes out the tunnel, which is probably the coolest pregame atmosphere I've ever seen for a regular season game. We're at the high of high to the low of low, to regrouping at halftime, to winning on a punt return against a Super Bowl favorite. And then the low of the locker room, when I went back into the locker room and I sent in my locker room by myself with my wife and just silence, 'cause I knew exactly what was ahead of us and the grind that was gonna, that was about to unfold. It's just a fortune to get to experience it as sucked, but again, you learn a lot. It is a crazy day. Do you run into people that assume that you played defense? - Yeah, yeah, when people find out I played tight at, I was actually 260 back then, a little hefty guy, but when I first got into coaching, I was on the offensive side of the ball, Bobby Williams. And when John L. Smith became the head coach next year, they moved me over to defense. I drove up after my master's degree and I drove up to Central Michigan and as Brian Kelly for a job, all he had was defense, so I stayed on defense and I was a defensive quality control for Houston. A couple of things happened, but there was a moment where I could have got back on offense. We had a quality control job on our offense open in Houston with Kyle Shanahan as a coordinator and Kyle wasn't a coordinator yet. I think he was. Anyway, long story short, I felt like it was an opportunity to get Matt LaFlor in an interview and Matt got his interview and knocked it out the park and the rest is history. - Yeah, about that. Yeah, I mean, as you look like a defensive guy, you look like you played defense too. - Coaching defense is more fun, I mean. - So yeah, I was gonna ask you about that. Would you rather, if you had to go back and let's say there was a sliding doors moment, if there was an opportunity to coach offense, which one do you think would be more fun to coach and why? - I enjoy defense, 'cause there isn't any motion to it. I joke with the offensive guys that if they have something up, it's second and 10, we effort up it's touch on. So there's a lot more, I argue, there's a heck of a lot more detail and a lot more specifics that I have to go into play and coaching defense and getting 11 guys coordinated to be perfect, 'cause all it takes is one and bad stuff happens and I kind of like the challenge. The entire league is tilted offence, all the rules are tilted offence. Every offensive coach is a guru and so it's a good little battle. - Who would you say is the biggest psycho that you've ever been, is it Brian Cushing? - Oh, from a defensive side. - Yeah. - Cush is, Cush. - Is he actually insane? - Insan in a good way, he's a good man, but you put the helmet on and he triggered it into something else and we've had a lot of guys, man. Again, fortunate, a legion of boom, Schirm, off the field, elite Stanford student on the field will rip your heart out. Earl Thomas, Cam Chancellor, and your life on the football field. I wouldn't think twice about it. And then you get to San Francisco with those defenses that we had, Fred Warner is probably, I mean, he's going to the Hall of Fame. He's probably one of the best linebackers of our generation and then going to the Jets same thing had a lot of really good guys. So there's, I've been fortunate, I've been able to coach a lot of really great players. - Yeah, we're talking to Larry Fitzgerald the other day and he said, he specifically singled out Cam Chancellor and said that guy, he didn't say that he was afraid of, it was like respect. It's like you did not want to go near that guy in the middle of field and that's, I think he's right that that's one dude that his name, I'm not saying that we forget about him, but it does kind of get lost over the years just how intimidating Cam Chancellor was and how great of a player he was. - He was transitioning to the new rules when he was right at the transition line. So I'm not to get into his business, but he had fine after a fight. We had to go back to the drawing board to figure out exactly how we want to teach tackling because he kept getting fined. But that dude, his career ended way too soon. He lead, he lead safety. - Yeah, how does your body feel now that you're away from the substation? (laughing) - You know what? - You got a little bounce here. - There's got, you know I got it. (laughing) - There's gotta be something. (laughing) - That's what you put down on an electronic reading in a microwave, something. - You can't, it's not, it's not, it's not nothing. It's probably not a lot, but it's also like, there's, something's gotta be. Maybe by a million paper cuts, I don't know, but I don't, I know that the, I'll say this, the York family is, they lead the charge in the NFL with regards to health and safety of the players. Like they're second to none when it comes to doing everything they can to help those kids be better. You gotta see the region area. Like there isn't a dime that they won't exhaust with regards to region and helping those players go. So that's first and foremost. So if there really is a problem, I promise you the York family is gonna figure it out. - Yeah. - Fixed. So you do feel better though. - Yeah. (laughing) - It's a mental thing, I'm sure. We have one next to our office. - Yeah. - And so I've had like seven kidney stones. - There's a reason why real estate is, I mean, if you live next to a power line, you're probably not getting a preview. - Yeah, I was just at that stadium for the, for the World Cup game. And I didn't realize how big the substation at like, I didn't think it was anything until I went there. I was like, it's a pretty fucking big substation. - For my understanding, it's always been there. But, but I guess it, it grew 10 times when the stadium Yeah, we were talking to Kittle about this. I think we might have mentioned it to
to Fred Warner too when we had him on the show. But it's a free idea you can take because obviously the Niners have had, they've had bad injury luck in the last couple of years. Maybe you just start, what if you just took your second team and you had your second team start on defense? And then over the course of the season, you have bad luck with injuries. Then your backups that you put in, that's actually your first team if you thought about something like that Tennessee. - You know what, I always tell people that you go tell the second stringer that he shouldn't be a starter. You know, like that's, and I think that's why San Francisco is able to weather the storm. Every single player there knows that they can go in there and produce. And who are we to say that they can't? It's our job to get them ready. And I think last year was a perfect example that we won 13 games with a roster of, you could argue second-tier players, but those are all starters in our mind. - Yeah, incredible. It was actually maybe one of the best coaching jobs in the NFL if not the best last year. It's like what that team was able to accomplish after losing so much was incredible. Now granted, we watched how it ended, which wasn't a great game. - Which one? - The playoff game. - The second half, yeah. - Yeah, those two. - The very first kickoff. Did you know that it was over after the kickoff? - We knew it was over after the kickoff. - No, it was, I mean, it is hard when that snowpark gets rolling up there, it is hard, man. It's an outstanding venue. But now you, we still thought we had a chance there at halftime, you know, you come out of the locker room just the ball bounces your way. Our offense has been scoring at will the entire season. We just need to find a couple of stops. We just held them at 13 points a couple of weeks prior. So, you know, crazy shit happens in the NFL, you know, and you never know if it's never over till it's over. - I got a family question. You have eight kids. - Eight kids, okay, so I have three kids. I feel like three kids is a million kids. And I always joke my wife when we went from one to two, two to three was the jump, where's like, fuck, we're screwed. - You go from Andy Fence to zone. - Yeah, but so my theory, and you could tell me if this is way off. 'Cause I don't understand how anyone has more than three kids. Does it get, is three actually the worst number to have? - Three is the worst. - Yeah, because then you start getting to a point where they're just taking care of each other. - 100% so it's zone defense. So you spread it out anyway. - Right. - So whether you have three or eight, it doesn't matter. We're at the point now, we're like, I mean, it's-- - You made babysitters for your next kids. - That's right, I got cheap labor on him. My buddy was in town, and he's got little infant still. And he's just working his tail off. And I didn't get off the couch. I drink water, I give it to a kid. I need water, kid comes, rings it to me. I'm not moving at all. My kids are, I mean, why, we raised him. We gave him everything that, at least they can do is get up and get us a- - Yeah, I got to teach my kids this. What are the age gaps? What's the goal? - My oldest is 15, he's actually on the bag this week, so he's setting for me. - That's awesome. - And then my youngest is one. We got six boys, two girls. - So you went right, you done? That's, we said we're done, but-- - How many times you say you were done? - This is the first time I've done it. - Yeah, 15 and then you have a kid in high school and then you're back in diapers, that's God bless. But yeah, I guess I really do think that there's, like you tell me this nuts, like you get to a point where they're all kind of like watch each other a little bit. - They're 100% well, my 11 year old daughter is, I mean, she's 11 going on 20. She's just, she's like a little mama already, but there's two things I'll always tell people. One, good Lord and never put you in a position. You can't handle. And two, you'll never find a set of parents I wish they had fewer kids. - Yeah, no, you're right about that. - You have more kids. - No, I know, no, you're right. And it's like, you know, having kids is like, we should have done this earlier. Like it's the best. - How the best. - So at what point do they get drafted onto like the parents team? Is it like 10, 11? Is that the age where they find them? Okay, we're not on the kids team anymore. Now we're, now we're helping mom and dad. - Yeah, do you have like a mom and a few ceremony where you're like, all right, now you're part of our adult. - As soon as they can wipe their own ass, they're right. - That's bullshit. - Can I just say, and my kids probably mad at me when they listen to this 20 years. It's bullshit, they don't tell you when you become a parent. That it's not just diaper, it's then like they hear two after where they're like, hey, come wipe my ass. - Oh yeah. - What the fuck? - I know diapers were done. - I'd rather change a diaper. - Yeah, I know, because you just sit made over the toilet. - And you walk in the toilet and they're just-- - You've got man poop in the toilet. - Yeah, and they got their hands on their ankles. They're like, I don't wanna do this. God damn it. - But as soon as they can wipe their own ass, they're on their own. - All right, I got two that can wipe their own ass. - Close. - That's awesome. - What are you looking forward to? What was it about the Titans job in particular? We're gonna steer this back to great football conversation. About the Titans job in particular. - Now, you know what, this is a great spot. - No, for sure. First off, different perspective for me, right? I felt like I was in a position where I couldn't. I wasn't in a hurry to go back. I could interview the team more than the interview could interview me. So there was a lot, I did a lot more background on this goal around than I did the first round with regards to the teams I was interviewing with. And I'm gonna start with Miss Amy and I mean this. Like, she has grown so much. Just from, I mean, if you think about it, she's only been the owner full of in charge since what, like, 2016-17, I think. And, you know, just the, her words, just the way she's evolved as an owner, the amount of, she's investing in the organization, the rebranding, the stadium, the amount of renovations, you've go into the, our facilities now, the amount of renovating that's going on, that all starts with her. And then you mix in the fact that, you know, Borgonzi is an unbelievable GM. Just matches my vibe with the kind of person I want to work with. A very young team, the salary cap is in good, is in perfect position from the salary cap standpoint. And I'll say it again, Miss Amy is willing to spend whatever she needs to spend to build a winner. And that's all you can ask for as an owner or as a head coach. And we've got a really exciting young football team. Cam Ward is, I really believe in this young man. He works as tail-off. He's got tremendous talent. Showcase the lot of adrenal TA. So excited to see him play against other teams. And again, once we get pads on the, and the D-Line can participate. But it was all of it, man. Like the City of Nashville, knowing Camtax is nice. - Yeah, sure. - Yeah, you got eight kids. - You know, it's the Bible belt. It's home, I mean, it's just very pulsing. You know, you got eight kids trying it. Where do you want to raise your kids? I don't think there's a better city in the country better than Nashville. - Yeah, that's, so I mean, the knowing Camtax definitely helps. A lot. Have you thought about the fact that you're now going up against Liam Cohen twice a year? - Liam's great, man. - No, come on. I'm still convinced it was all for show. - We want, listen, as fans of the league, we love when there's rivalries. Like, I'm a bears fan. I love that Ben Johnson doesn't like the Packers. And like, there's hatred there. I want hatred between division rivals. - You know, the hatred is natural just because it's a division rival. And you're, you know, anytime you step on the football field, and I say this to the player, to our players all the time, I don't care what relationship you have with the man in front of you. He's trying to take money off your, out of your bank account and food off your plate. Mallow Flores, my best friend. And if we ever play the Green Bay Packers, it is our, I want to make sure he can't eat for the entire week 'cause he's sick about what happened on Sunday. That's just in our nature. - Right. - And so when it comes to Jacksonville, Houston, Indianapolis, it's also the rivalry is already there. But off the field, and Liam's a good man. And I know you guys are looking for some spicy, but. The Duval thing was weird though. You can admit that. - Yeah, I mean, you got to be prepared for it. - Yeah, exactly, exactly. - You got to be prepared for that moment. - You got to fix it, you got to fix it. - Are you close with Demiko though? - Oh yeah, Demiko. - Like are you going to be able to, because we want that hatred. - Yeah, you have some spicy about Demiko. - The same thing, like Demiko, Demiko's not going to pull no punches. You know, like if, I mean, it's like old street fighter. If I'm sitting there on my back, he's going to rip my heart out. You know, it's just, we're in this professional win. And what's great about this profession is that we compete at the highest level, and it's not personal. But at the end of the day, when the game's over, obviously, and I think Demiko feels the same way, but if you ever need anything, you could always call and vice versa. - Yeah, when you were quality assistant, I don't know what, you even, maybe special consultant to the Green Bay Packers. Was that, was there any small, personal stuff in there? Feel like when you joined the team, they were going to maybe get some teams that, you weren't super happy with that. - No, you know what, I've said this to a lot, and I know these, that whole thing was therapeutic for me. I was probably more of a distraction for Green Bay than I was an actual help. But, you know, it was good, because I got a lot of insight to how they operate and took a lot from it. You know, Matt LaFleur does an outstanding job, I mean, the way he handles his players, his coaches, their meeting structure, their scheduling, I thought it was really, really, really well done. And, you know, so there was a little competitive advantage here on my end, but overall, it was just great to, if you haven't figured out a more of a positive person, and, you know, sitting there while-- - Yeah, I mean, you thought you were going to still win the game when the Seahawks returned the game. - That's right, that's right, always, always, always. And, you know, there's a different mindset, you know, I just got fired from the Jets, and I'm watching my family, and every week is just this hatred and this desire for that team to lose. And I can't watch my family live that way or for myself, I can't live that way. And so for me, going to Green Bay to have my family cheer for something rather than against something was far more important than the actual experience. - That makes sense. - That actually makes a lot of sense. So you're like, the negative energy kind of--
You know, and it's not good and you can't and especially like something that you can't control No, you know and and and truth be told like you know what that Jets team there's there's still a lot of guys And there's still guys that I cheer for all the time. I mean I you still wanted the personal success for Jeff Allbrick and all the coaching staff and all the players whether it was CJ Mosley or Quintin and Quincy and Aaron thought he I thought he had a hell of a year that year. Yeah, Garrett Wilson Breeze hall all of them You know all the guys that that we that we're that we touched and and we're able to help develop but You know, it is what are you a ping pong table in the locker room guy? Yeah, I don't care, you know that locker room like I I've got a a thing with our staff. No one steps in the locker room. That's a player space You know that that's their domain trust that Jeffrey Simmons trust that the leaders of that football team will handle the way it needs to be handled If things get haywire then we'll intervene, but for the most part You know that's their space and we try to let them do what they do. So so there's if there's a ping pong table in there How many losses in a row before you take it away? We love when coaches do that? We actually consulted with some coaches in the league being like even if you're not a ping pong guy Put the ping pong table in because then you can take it away You know, I mean like it's something you can be like and that's always a story. It's like hey look It's serious, you know, it's late November. We got to take the ping pong table. You know, I don't know I you they're grown men, you know, and I think I think especially now with how I educated these players are with regards to their branding and how to process like They're they're way more advanced and when I first entered the league with regards to preparation for themselves and I don't know I just look at a player and I tell him hey, this ping pong table is the reason why you're losing takes accountability off me Mm-hmm, and I'd rather that's smart That's what you do. That's how you know you gotta do. I know, but it's basically telling the player like Obviously, I'm not screwing this up. You are because you're playing ping pong. Yeah, I'm more concerned with trying to find a fine The winning edge through tape. I have to sometimes throw something under the bus From London, you're like Mr. Johnson. We're taking the ping pong table out Listen, listen, you I think you're probably approaching this correctly in terms of like it's about football and these guys are grown adults But just listen to our side where it's like as much as you can get the blame off of you You gotta do it, and I know it and from an accountability standpoint We're like yeah, they held them accountable. Yeah, we we There's a couple things like because accountability Gus Bradley and I joke about it all the time because if you lose your Coach that doesn't hold people accountable if you win you can be the nicest guy in the world and all of how he holds them accountable It's it's all results and but at the end of the day like The most accountable moment that you'll have with the players in those team meeting rooms and your position rooms and You know like I'll never get up in front of the media and ever say anything negative about our players never because I just don't think it's right But when we go into the meeting room and close the doors and we're watching tape it's Put your sensitivity hat down and we're rolling. We're just trying to get better and But you know, I just look at when when you blast things out. It's like it's like it's like my wife and I we argue We argue all the time, you know, and but I'm not gonna let the world know that we're arguing. Right. Well, you just did Yeah, like there's you're if you bad mouth do wife to other people that's like what are you doing? Yeah, what are you doing? It's it's it doesn't make sense right and you lose trust and so worth with We'll we'll bad mouth each other and players will you know, we'll have hard conversations because of those have to happen, but Just never out in public have some some more like analytical type questions Okay, we're gonna test your knowledge when it comes to like deep Intel sabermetric stuff and the NFL You got this. All right, so I'm gonna give you a hypothetical situation You tell me what the right thing to do is as a head coach, okay? so let's say that it's the Championship game the conference championship game. So important stuff and you are trailing 31 to 23 Okay, so you're down you're down to eight points. Yeah, and there's two minutes left in the game 209 left in the game. It's fourth and goal So again, you're down to eight points 209 left It's fourth and goal from the eight yard line. Do you kick a 26 yard field goal or do you go and try to score eight points in the end zone? That's eight yards away. Okay I'm gonna try to score Smart and the reason being is because the the I'm still down a touchdown. Mm-hmm. Yep. So I'm still down the possession If I could change the possession change the numbers then I then it should like you would have said you're down I Or no go down nine. Yeah, you know or or say five where I can get it to a fill goal. Yeah, that that changes that changes the changes the dynamic That's smart and I would the part that I didn't tell you about the hypothetical is that the other quarterback is Like the best quarterback to ever play football. So if you kick a fuel goal You're not gonna get the ball back So that's pretty much game over in this hypothetical But again, you didn't even know that part of the hypothetical and you still got it right So yeah, you got you got to trust in your process. Yeah, what about if you score you're down 14 There's let's say there's three 10 left in the game in the fourth quarter you're down 14 you go for two You know that that one's interesting because I know McCarthy kind of brought that one out and it is an interesting dynamic in that one It's uh There there's the the numbers say you go for two and because you have a chance to go if you're two point plays good enough Two point plays over 50 percent, but you're always gonna think that your two point plays good enough But yeah, that's it it it makes sense, you know That way you can try to go for the win later or you can still try to tie it, but um, you know, it's uh That one that that one I feel is a lot more 50 50 and yeah, you can't go wrong either way How much like from a from your perspective are you coaching on Analytics versus, you know vibes and gut feeling it's both like If you if you sit in the box of every NFL game without every NFL team Their little analytic book says go for it all the time. Yeah, I mean look at the TV. Yeah, it's always go for it Yeah, I like how you're for that they're little analytic. Yeah, like they've got his time God bless them because there is use for it But the analytics book is in telling you that You're on your third string rate guard index your Lawrence is standing over top of them right like it's not equating It's not equating whether whether it's the shits or whether you're averaging four four yards of play and you need five You know like it's just there's a lot of different variables in there that you've got to think about and uh You know Your defense could be rolling and it might be time to pin them back to see if you get a safety or create a new opportunity for yourself So there is a to me um, I think what it's done is it has allowed coaches The ability to go for it a hell of a lot more and wipe their hands of it because the book said to go for it But um, but I think there's still a I got feeling to it. Yeah, that has to be had uh memes our jets fan Producer do you have any questions for your former coach be nice memes. I'm gonna be very nice He's gonna be nice. He's a New Yorker. There's he's gonna be he's not He's but you just want to He's a different guy now everything sunshine roses for uh, how excited are you to coach John Franklin Meyer again? Oh, man I love Jeff. I mean it like he's uh, I wish we were able to keep him during that 24 season obviously things didn't work out the way uh, we were hoping but uh He's one of the I think he's one of the top five interior pass rushers and all the football over the last four years and elite worker elite teammate and glad he's back Uh, have you ever thought about texting Greg Xerlan and be like hey if you made that kick against Broncos probably finish out the season Uh, that was the start of it all right. Yeah, you know, there there's uh Man, that was tough you think about those games we lost him in a soda They went to they won 13 games Denver went to the playoffs and then San Francisco was healthy when we played him but um But yeah, it was it was a tough kick we we wish we would have got a little bit closer. It was raining I mean the rain was going sideways. It would have been a hard kick for anybody All right, good job. He's you're nice. You got anything else? Uh, it probably rain 90% of your home games How excited are you to just get in the sun natural? It did didn't it um You know what it's uh I'm excited for the new chapter be honest with you, you know, like like i said, Nashville is it's hungry for a winter Uh, there's a lot of change going on But like with the stadium the breathe branding uh super young football team Uh, that work cited to develop and um We're gonna do something good. Yeah cool. How uh, how good was brick johnson and madden Because like that's a part of the story i don't understand he was awesomened madden. Why are we why are we saying he can't be GM? You know what? I do know this they um He's it's important to him brick johnson and and i wouldn't be surprised if he's if one day's he's running that thing Okay, okay. Yeah, we're we're brick johnson guys. Yeah, big big time um You have a great birthday You got the same January 31st. Oh, he's the 30s. Yeah, yeah, I'm January 30 30th. We're 36 hours apart. So I have my Zane is uh was born on the 29th my my second my fifth was born on the 30th They're gonna come on the 30th person. I I really don't have a bird. No, you definitely don't have a bird. It got wiped off It's that's completely gone. That's crazy. That's also it's that's football season. Yeah. What are you doing having kids during football season man? January 31st. Yeah Yeah, mindset. Oh, well, we're gonna have to cut like this and that's the
that's conference championship. - You're right. - Yeah, we gotta change that mindset. - We get it in after the season. - I take a big warm table away from you. Yeah, the one that you're saying, yeah, you're right on your other side. - Yeah, the non football season, yes. - They're conceived during non football season. - Yes, yes. - But then they're born during football season. - They're all my kids. So Adam was in September, three boys, obviously. And then we have one in November, the June 23rd one, and I would probably have, maybe that was the by-week. (laughing) - That was the outline of it. - We should actually go back and look at that because you might, I think you might not be joking. - Oh, I've got problem with that. - We got Zach. - I believe that that week one matchup is against the Jets. Not only your first game, coaching your new team, I was kind of curious, what's, if we get to peek into the headspace of kind of how you're approaching that game, the energy you're coming with, what you're thinking and kind of what it means to kick off your new job. Kind of going up against your old piece. - No, for sure. I don't think anyone at the Titans organization or anyone currently at the Jets organization, maybe the business side, there's been so much turnover in the NFL. I don't think anyone really cares. I think it's probably more for the fans and just, and for the NFL, for the talking point. But as far as the men in the locker room are actually going to suit up and play, they probably have them probably don't even know as the Jets had a coach at one point. - Yeah, okay. I appreciate the insight. One more quick follow the question. This year, you guys don't have any international games on your schedule. Do you prefer it that way? Or is that something you kind of would have been looking forward to? - I prefer 12 o'clock every Sunday on repeat. - Yup, yup, yup, that's got it tended. - That's fast. - Thank you so much. - Oh, I had one last question. Is, if we had every coach in the NFL in a big, real rumble, are you winning it? You're always up there when it comes. It's like you, Dan Campbell. - Dan, Dan is a monster of a man. I mean, I just feel like he's got the chew in his mouth. - Yeah. - And so like that means it's a super power. Just spit you in the eye and just beat the piss out of you. But I don't know. There's a lot of scarring. I mean, Sean's running around with a six pack all over France. - Yeah, no, he's a pretty boy. - Yeah, those are popcorn. He's got, he's cares too much about his back of the floor. You'd be surprised, like, don't play basketball with him. He's way too aggressive at all. - Okay. - But. - Vrable. - Vrable. - Vrable, yeah. - He's something. - He's gonna be a problem. - He's not gonna be a problem. - But all those guys, all those former players, Domingo. - Yeah, Domingo. - Yeah. - I mean, but all those-- - Liam Cullen. - Yeah, Liam Cullen will fuck you up. Liam's got a good job. He's got a good shit. Liam's got a good shit. But all those former professional athletes, they got to edge over everybody else. - Yeah. I have one last thing. - That's not so much a question. Just want to say thank you. Thank you. You beat the Washington commanders when Ron Rivera was her head coach. Last second field goal. - Oh my god. - I loved that game. - We were only 28 to nothing at one point. - I loved that game so much, because that season was a watch for us as a commanders fan. And because we lost that game, we ended up drafting Jaden Daniels. - You know who thanks me all the time too? At a Peters. - Yeah, thank you. We truly appreciate that. So thank you. That James is a special player man. DQ has done a great job over there. - Yeah, he's a man. All right, well coach, best of luck. And thank you so much for coming on. - Appreciate you guys. - Yeah. - Did you guys see? It's similar to our Kentucky caller who called him with the hypothetical. If you got tickled for five minutes, would you, would you call the cops? There's a guy in Ohio that is suing Taco Bell for explosive diarrhea. - I saw that, yeah. - I feel like you can't. You can't be like, hey guys, I just want to let everyone know that I've just been diarrhea all the time constantly. - It's implied. - Yeah. - It's implied. - Don't you know what you're doing? - That's a real, also it's not Taco Bell's, come on. - You know what you're doing. The second you say, I think I'll have Taco Bell for lunch. - Right. - You start, everybody. - I would actually be very funny if it came out that it's like, actually there was none of the bad batches at all. - Where you ate. - Yeah. - Like, sir, you just couldn't handle a chalupa. - Yeah, listen, yeah, it's a social contract. You know what you get into when you get in that drive-thru line. You know that you drive straight to your house. That's a home game when you talk about it. - All right, good show. Takey's Friday. Takey's Friday, reminder, takey's Friday. So get ready. - Let's do numbers. - 66. - I'm gonna go with. - I don't have six seven. - Five. - I'll go. - Six. - Seven. - Seven. - Let's go 27. - I'll go 10. - You think we're messy? - Gotta be for messy. - Mm-hmm. - It'll be back. - You think it'll be back? - Yeah, why can't you climb a bench? - I think if you was able to get away walking 65% of this tournament, you'd be like, oh, that's really mean. - You can walk 75% of the tournament still have an impact. - Think of the impact you have with 65% walking? At 75, he should be good. - All right. - Also quick, Jacobi Berset update. - Yeah, he still doesn't have a contract. - Oh. - Oh, the points didn't get their numbers in. Quick. - 17. - 36. - 36. - 35. - Mm-hmm. - What were your numbers with you one more? What were your numbers? - 35 was the number. What were your numbers saying again? - 26. - 17. - 86. - And who hasn't gotten Colton? - PFT and Meebs. - I have that. - No, you haven't. - Stop. - What's your number? - I'm moving for Colton. I'm moving for Colton. I'm also going for Colton. I'd rather Colton get it for Meebs. (crowd cheering) - 97. - 97. - Oh, Shane, how is that Shane reacted like he was close? - Yeah, now 97. - He thought he said 87. - Oh, and he also didn't say that. - Yeah. - Oh, double knot close. - Double knot close, Shane. - Sorry, Shane. - Well, you were whatever. - Shane, you were double knot close. - Yeah. - You were double knot close. - Sorry. - Thank you so much. - Thank you so much. - Good accountability, your ability. Love that. - We've been working on that machine. (laughing) - It's progress. - Happy birthday to Ben Simmons and Giselle. And happy birthday to Steven Strasper. Love you guys.
