Hey, Pardon My Take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Would you use dish soap to wash your car? Sure, we get the dirt off, but you'd be stripping the paint and protection every single time.

And that's exactly what harsh personal care ingredients do your skin. The stuff you put on your body isn't just sitting on the surface, it's being absorbed. Everyman Jack makes naturally dry body wash, deodorant, and beer care that's actually good for men. They're coconut-based body wash, hydrate instead of stripping.

Their new 48-hour deodorant fights odor without the harsh chemicals. And they're the number one beer care brand in America. Everyman Jack, clean, effective, made for men. On today's Pardon My Take, we have a massive, massive, massive show for the AWLs.

We've got Drikus DePlessis, UFC fighter, champion, in studio. South African, South African, I'm South African too. And then we have Dana White, we have UFC 319 coming to Chicago on Saturday night, so it was awesome to talk to the guys. And then we are going to do, we have Hot Seat Cool Throne, we have Partner Takes Football Version, we have the Mount Rushmore of unsexy things that we find sexy.

And we are, we're on the road for the start of the show, we'll be back in our studio. We're gonna kick it around, we missed Hard Knocks, but we'll maybe talk about what we missed and talk a little ball. The springtime fall is finally here. Flowers are blooming, days are longer.

We're saying yes to more plans and finally getting outside, running, walking, just moving again. It's the perfect time to upgrade your everyday go-tos with Bombas. Bombas sports socks are super comfortable and designed with sports specific tech for running, cycling, yoga, hiking, you name it. I've been trying to get more into running and incline tread when I can't get outside and the weather's not so nice.

So whatever the case is, I'm truly just blown away by these socks. They are a game changer. They're cushioned when you need it, sweat wicking, they don't slide around. I just focus on just going as fast as possible instead of constantly adjusting my socks.

Once I put the boots back in the closet, Bombas warm weather footwear is back in the rotation. I just know the Bombas slides whenever I'm going to the grocery store, they're made with this super lightweight and waterproof EVA that's soft, but still very supportive. They're really comfortable and perfect to toss on and go. I just put them on right as I'm about to leave my apartment.

I do a quick little air and I come back, slide right back off. There is nothing better than the Bombas slides. Then there's the best base layers you'll ever own. Bombas underwear and t-shirts, breathable, flexible, really soft, a full-on upgrade from your usual basics.

Today is Wednesday, August 13th. And boys, we got a show. We got a show. There's podcast wars going left and right.

We weren't on the Times 100. The Kelsey boys, we like them both. They got Taylor Swift. We then got Taylor Swift.

Read this out on Benjamin Netanyahu. Yep, but it's on. How we doing? How we feeling?

How's everyone doing? Feeling great. We're in God's country right now. We're in the Ozarks.

I'm sleeping in the same room with Zach tonight. I'm a little nervous. We are bunk mates. We are bunk mates.

Hank and Max are shacking up together. Shane and Memes. PFT. We're here for PFT because he's in the internet invitational.

He needs his rest. How are the vibes? I'm sleeping like a king. So we did the draft tonight.

Now we can't get ahead of it because we have to wait until later on this fall for everything to come out. But I'll put it this way. Actually, I don't really know how to put it because I was thinking to myself, you know, imposter syndrome? Yeah.

I'm going to play the best round of my life tomorrow. There you go. Which I will do, by the way. I'm confident myself.

I've been coached up by maybe the best coach in the world when it comes to teaching you how to make time in your life to play golf. Yep. That's why I brought Hank Lockwood on board. I brought Max on as my nutrition expert and he did a great job.

You know why you did a great job, Max? Because you didn't tell me what to eat. You didn't give me your diet to eat. So by avoiding telling me what you're eating, that actually made me healthier.

Smart. You're the only one who knows your own body. That's how I do it. That's how I do it.

Your body's a wonder where I disagree with that. All right. So we're getting ready for that. Obviously, yeah, it's going to be taped, so we can't really talk about what transpires.

How do we like Hard Knocks tonight? Hank, why don't you go first? I saw the Boston guys did an interview with Josh Allen on it. Yep.

That was good. Yep. That's sick. That was awesome.

That's sick. I thought it was good. Pinto Ron was on it for a minute. We didn't watch it, just if anyone's trying to wonder.

But yeah, anything else, guys? This one featured Mitch Trubisky, Mike White, and Shane Buchel. Oh, okay. So we're getting into the backup quarterback battle.

Was it Zach Rock that gave you that? No, I read an article on Sports Illustrated. It might have been written by AI. They've got AI writers over there.

They talked about Damar, too. Prayers for Damar. Prayers for Damar. Prayers for Damar.

We also had... So, I don't know what else we want to talk about. We have a lot of shows that we already taped. There's one question that I had for you about the NFL.

Is Matt Stafford okay? I don't think so. I saw that he has what looks like... It's basically an RV that sits next to training camp, and I watched the video.

It's this futuristic, clear table that he sits on that's supposed to give him energy and make his body better. We're in the junk science of Matt Stafford's career of like, hey, you know what? A quarterback... How old is Matt Stafford?

Let me pull up my chart real quick that I actually got community noted on. Matt Stafford is 38 years old. He's 37. Okay, 37.

We're 37 years old trying to... And I think the Rams are going to be good this year if Matt Stafford can stay healthy. But the junk science does make you a little nervous if you're a Rams fan. So, I hadn't heard too much about the floating glass table.

What you described just sounds to me like what that chick was sleeping on in the fifth element, that movie. It kind of looks like... So, he's in the fifth element right now. Yeah, hold on.

I'll pull it up so you can take a look. But Sean McVay, last week he said that Matt Stafford could play in a game if we had one this week. And then today, Sean McVay said, I don't know if Matt Stafford could play right now. So, Matt Stafford might have gotten injured in the hypothetical game that he could have played last week.

Yeah, all right. So, here's what it is. It is a... Matthew Stafford walked into this immortal chamber.

Immortal advertises itself as a wellness device that aims to optimize human performance and promote holistic health through a combination of non-invasive technologies. He is not practicing today. That is not a... That's not a paragraph you want to read.

I feel like... We're one step away from crystal healing. Yeah. Here's what I'm just going to say.

I'm not a doctor. Here's where I always kind of take a little left turn when I'm reading these things. When the words wellness device, optimize, and holistic health. Through a combination of non-invasive technologies.

I'm going to say that's jump science. Yeah, no, we're getting heavy into the dream catchers, the crystals, the aromatherapy. Which one of the stops, which you showed for a quarterback. My theory on this has been this entire off-season that Sean McVay is essentially giving Matt Stafford camp off.

Yeah. And that this is what he's choosing to do instead of having to practice. At some point, you probably have to practice. And at some point, I'm going to get concerned.

Yeah. I think I'm... I'm thinking about becoming concerned about Matt Stafford. That's where I'm at.

Doctor said you need a bacchaeotomy. It doesn't sound great. Today, they said surgery has not been discussed. Yeah.

That's discussing it. Being like, no, we're not going to discuss it. I, uh... Yeah, I'm actually...

I'm a big junk science guy because I do think there's something to be said for... If you can placebo affect yourself and lay on this glass table and holistically, non-invasively make yourself feel better, there is worth it. But still, I want my franchise quarterback on this glass table in this Winnebago in-between practices on a company called the Immortal Chamber. I just want to want my quarterback on a glass table, period.

Yeah. Sounds dangerous. Yeah. Speaking of danger, Jordan loved it to get hurt.

Yeah, so he had a procedure. He had a procedure. Non-throwing thumb. Look at this.

This is what the Immortal Chamber looks like. It is... That's exactly... Look at that.

Oh, we got to get one of those. We do have to get one of those. It probably costs $700,000 or something. It looks like a milking table.

I'm going to book an appointment. The Browns should get one of those. Yeah, it does. It does.

Uh-oh. My mic. My mic. My mic.

Yeah, that's not good. So yeah, Jordan Love, a procedure on his thumb. Banged on a helmet. Also, he's not 32 years old.

I did get my first community noted. I've never been community noted before, but I got community noted. Yeah, community notes is bullshit. It's like Wikipedia for X.

So I might have put out a graphic that had every quarterback's age, and I changed Jordan Love's age to 32, and then everyone was like, what the fuck, dude? He's 26. Whatever. Well, his thumbs are falling apart.

Whoops. That's an old guy injury. My bad. I saw that Aaron Rodgers, there's some concern about his helmet.

And also, he likened himself to Joe Biden. In, like, falling off a bike? No, he said that after a game, he goes and tries to find guys his age that he knows, and he realized very quickly he didn't know anyone, so he was like Joe Biden on the debate stage, and then he quickly was just like, where's Cam Hayward and T.J. Watt?

I saw that he also got stepped on. That made me think that, like, maybe Aaron Rodgers is just drugs at this point, and that's what they're talking about. Apparently, he actually got stepped on by a foot, but he's okay. Wait, did he refer to himself as Joe Biden?

He said, after 21 years in the league, he gravitates towards the old heads, so when he was walking off the field in Jacksonville and started looking around, he did the Joe Biden, realized he didn't know anyone, and then joined up with Cam Hayward and T.J. Watt. Okay, so they're just going to install Will Howard as a quarterback and not ask anybody. Yes, correct.

Right before him. Even though he's a flawed candidate. Okay, so yeah, we had that. I'm trying to think of what else.

Oh, you know what? Let's do two things. One, I want to get you guys excited about a weekend. This is always fun.

We did this a couple weeks ago. Oh, yeah, I was looking at some of the college football games coming up. November 1st. I want to just throw this out there for you guys.

November 1st. November 1st, we have Arizona State at Iowa State. Florida at Georgia. Great.

Neutral site. Miami at SMU. Both teams are going to be good. Oklahoma, Tennessee.

Ohio State, Penn State. South Carolina, Ole Miss. Texas Tech, Kansas State. That's going to be a great weekend.

Don't ask me to do nothing that weekend. Nothing. We got any other weekends you like? I was just looking at all of them.

I just like looking at weekends right now. It's fun to look at them. It's fun to be like, hey, do not expect me to do a goddamn thing on November 11th or November 1st. Why don't everyone throw out a future?

Hank threw out his bold proclamation that the Patriots are going to be better than every other team on this podcast. Let's do a future. The Patriots are available in the Jackson Sportsbook as well. Oh, we put them up?

Yeah. All right. Let's all pick a future. Dedication isn't born in the light of day.

It's carved in the quiet hours before the world blinks awake. At Borshead, we rise with a mission to deliver craftsmanship worthy of your table. A slice of something special folded into every moment worth savoring. Because dedication means delivering only the very best.

Borshead, committed to craft since 1905. You want me to start? I'll start. Go for it.

I think the Tampa Bay Bucs minus 110 to win the NFC South is a good bet. For probably four weeks, but he'll be back. I just think, I might actually also say, we're not doing these futures yet, but Baker MVP. Maybe.

Maybe. Maybe their 400 pound defensive pack will be playing? Yeah. Actually, I do want to say something real quick about the MVP.

I think we all have to bet Joe Burrow MVP because I've already noticed that the narrative has begun. Of Joe Burrow for MVP? Who should the MVP should have already been? Because last year he was very good.

They didn't make the playoffs. I think that we should do that because I think the narrative has already started that this is the year he's going to win MVP. Who will the MVP will have been? Will have been.

Duke. Shut up, Duke. All right. So that's my pick.

I would like to take the 10-8 Buccaneers winning conference at plus 1,300. Whoa. You one-upped me. You big dog me.

You go a little further. You big dog me. No, not at all. Not at all.

I love that. Don't be afraid of big dog me. I'm just confident in the boys. Okay.

PFC? This is going to go against what you guys said a little bit. Maybe. Atlanta Falcons to make the playoffs.

Okay. Plus 1,55. Yeah, they can still do that. I like that better than even money.

I don't know. Call me crazy. I like the Falcons. I like their offer.

I think I'm higher on Pinnock than most people. Okay. Hank? I'm going to go with the New England Patriots.

Mike Rabel, Josh McDaniels, Drake May, Stephon Diggs, Lucy Opatusi to make the playoffs. Plus 1,20. Okay. Okay.

Max? I'm also taking the Patriots. I'm going to put my money where my mouth is. They put it in the drafting sportsbook.

Just the part of my take. Which team on the part of my take will have the most wins? Is this the case of you saying something and then having to defend it more? No.

No. I believe in even more. So what are the odds for them to have the most wins on the podcast? I believe, let me just double check, the Patriots are plus 600.

Okay. Eagles plus 225. Commanders plus 475. Bucs plus 475.

Chargers plus 500. Bears plus 800. The Jets plus 3000. Oh, you didn't have to laugh before that.

It's funny. It's funny. It's all trouble. That was not.

That was nice. He's laughing. No, he's kind of crying. He's laughing because he's thinking about ways he's going to kill you.

Yeah. No, he's laughing. Max. That's your mean graphic.

Max and Neves, finish us off. What do you got? I'm going to do, you know, Eagles is too easy and I don't want to be chalky. I'm going to do Jags 3-1 to win the AFC South.

Whoa. Back to the well. Whoa. One more year of believing in the Jags.

We'll see what Liam Cohn's done. Trevor Lawrence is on the show. He got me fired up. Jags 3-1.

Hank didn't like that Liam Cohn. Didn't like the Liam Cohn line at all. Hank hates everyone that we talk to. No, he's a good guest.

I mean, another guest we had on the show who was played for him made a comment that stuck with me more. Which was? Baker. Saying?

He was like, we'll see how he is as a coordinator. I'm a head coach. Do you think he's a little upset that he left the Buccaneers and the way that he left them? Or do you think maybe they were friends and he was busting his balls?

I don't know. It was just the way he said it. Maybe do a double take. Okay.

I'm talking about both his butt cheeks. No. Their defense got a lot better. I just think this is the year the Ravens retrained in the Super Bowl.

Okay. By the way, breaking moves. I got breaking moves. Shohei Otani hit into a triple play.

Can't win an MVP like that. Can you? That's an insane thing. That's a highlight that's going to stick with him, too.

Can't win. That might be the start of his Hall of Fame. Did not just get doubled up? What?

It wasn't like a 6-5-4-3. No, he just hit a line drive. The shortstop was basically standing over the baggie. The line drive to the shortstop.

Shortstop doubled up the guy on second, then threw to first. Oh, we're going to talk about his lawsuit in a little bit. I did read an article on the plane right over here after we recorded the first part of the show. So I know a little bit more about what he's being sued for.

Okay. So there's a real estate deal in Hawaii. There was a guy that was involved in it. They wanted to get Shohei involved because if Shohei invests in property on this island, then boom, all of a sudden it opens up for Japanese tourists to buy houses, things like that.

With Shohei, apparently his representative made some demands, including they didn't like one of the guys that was involved in the deal, allegedly edged that guy out of the deal. Now that guy's mad, and he's doing Shohei. Oh, yeah, you can't sue for that. Yeah, so.

That's how deals are done. Shohei's a double threat guy. He does gambling and real estate fraud. Triple threat.

And he's in a triple threat place. Can't win an MVP that way. I'm asked, is Leonard Dickerson okay? Yes, he is.

Okay. He is hopeful to be back by the... Oh, meniscus, right? Yeah, no.

You guys have all... You guys got a great staff in Philly. Different programs. I would prefer...

He had socks on I just looked down And saw A lot of toes Yeah no Lance Dickerson He's an absolute warrior I can't see his feet He's just toes He's just toes out for the boys I mean we were waiting here For five fucking hours So we went in the pool I didn't want to put wet Socks on You got multiple people In that pool Send some laps Me and me We're chilling Max is this the interview Does he have to wear Knee brace to the club I'm happy I would be happy if he did Keep that thing safe Keep that thing as safe as could be You went through a rollercoaster Yesterday with You're not understanding I didn't know that JJ McCarthy sat out The entire year for a meniscus I thought meniscus Was something that you could Easily just play through Don't you remember the Do you want to shave it down Do you want to do the short repair Or the long repair Dwayne Wade is like Bone on bone On his knee Because he just always did the He never did the full surgery He always just did the shave it down Yeah I mean yeah He never missed a full year For his meniscus I guess last year He missed most of the I don't know When there's words like ACL And Achilles And meniscus going out Meniscus is by far The best of the three Yeah I agree with that You're right on that So he's good Yeah no he's fine He's fine Minor procedure Okay The last thing I had Before we're going to We're back in studio We have Taylor Swift Did we mention we have Taylor Swift on this podcast today And Taylor told us Some crazy stuff about NFL players that Taylor enjoys That Taylor listens to a lot Gave us a sneak peek On what Taylor's got Coming up in the near future So I'm very excited So the last thing I had Was did you guys see Michael Porter Jr. Do a podcast And he basically was like I'm addicted to sex He did the Meek

snaps back No fumbles No bad calls Just bold flavor That can never be sidelined So if your team has you feeling Like you're ready to snap Call a timeout And snap into a Slim Jim Okay hot seat cool throne Henry Yeah No more Wally Pipp People were mad that we made Zach say the Wally Pipp line I thought it was funny Because it's not He so didn't want to say it Yeah You didn't think it was funny No

while He did bury a bunch of farts in there It's fine Again guest here too It's not just mine It's not my couch It's your couch It's his couch It's a stupid couch Okay What do you think about the countdown It's your 40th birthday Well it's blank That was actually going to be one of my hot seats It's me Oh okay Because we put up these new clocks in the studio And the countdown on my 40th birthday Has nothing on it Which means I'm just going to die before I'm 40 I think No is that what that means Zach No Wally Pipp So he's got so much more light to live until 40 We've got to get two more additional clocks Yeah Because he's got thousands of thousands of days before 40 So that clock doesn't hold all the days So we're going to get three clocks So it's like one clock will be All three clocks will have like 9.99 One will count down And then when that one's done We'll go to the next one Can I give a critique Yeah As a football You know we're a football podcast We love football The countdown to the Super Bowl Is kind of a depressing clock Why? Because it means football is over But then there's going to be another clock That is the start We've got to get a different clock That has a different clock As it gets down below 100 days But if we have another clock That counts down to kickoff for next year Before we get to the Super Bowl Then that's fine We've got a clock That will be the one So right now it's countdown to this season As soon as this season starts It will be countdown to next season And we have the countdown to the next game So right now we have four clocks For people who aren't watching We have countdown to the next NFL game Which will change Which will be updated every single week We have countdown to next season So those two clocks are synced up right now We have countdown to Super Bowl We have countdown to Hank's 40th I also want to add a clock Behind PFT and I Maybe in the middle of us And it's just going to say Days since Max last got triggered And so we'll be able to hit that live As he gets mad And what do we think over under How many days do you think That ever will get to I think at the maximum What's the distance between Thursday night and Sunday night It's like three days Three days I think we're going to have A three day maximum on that You don't have to have Double digits on that one No we don't It'll get double digits for sure I guarantee you never I'm going to be a better guy No you're a great guy You're a great guy And the best Max is when you get upset I also think we should do Countdown to March Madness Okay That'll be good to have Just when the Super Bowl clock runs out Can I throw another one out there Yeah Countdown to the Masters Yeah I like that What's that Hank Your golf guy Yeah we're a football podcast This is football Yeah but this whole clock wall Is just a countdown to everything I just want the whole wall to be clocks I think we should keep it to football Okay Okay And your birthday Your hot seat is your 40th My hot seat was just me No I didn't like that as blank That was a little bit ominous Looking at the clocks running And then looking at the countdown to 40 It was just blank Blank you're never going to get there Just throw up my casket Get paired with it Should we just keep it stagnant Of where it is Or just blank No keep it going And then have a big party or something On your 40th Oh okay That sounds fun 2C for everybody Yeah And golfing Yeah I like that Listen Hank We would do a countdown to our 50th But your 40th is going to come before our 50th So it would be wrong for us Yeah we'll switch it up to our 50th After you turn 40 That's fine So really that clock is also A countdown to when that clock Becomes a countdown to our 50th birthday That's fun for you Yeah Okay I like that Another hot seat was college players Venmo transactions Yeah I had that Yeah me too I don't think Jon Matier did anything wrong Explain it Jon Matier Great quarterback Who decided to dig it up But they went And Venmo Venmo isn't interesting I don't know it's not a social media app But for whatever reason The Venmo algorithm It's really when you're really bored It's only happened to me a few times When I've been taking a shit And I have nothing else to do And you go on Venmo And the feed will just show you people That you're not friends with You don't even know It's like maybe someone you're friends with From high school Or someone that's in your Facebook friends And it's just showing you their transactions And it's kind of weird Why do I know that this person That was in my college floor 12 years ago Is paying for utilities To this other person Like this is a bizarre thing To be looking at Someone went and found Jon Matiers And Arch Mannings And then it just kind of started A tidal wave of people Looking up their favorite players Venmo transactions Jon Matiers just had A couple that were just Sports gambling with parentheses Like the game that he was gambling UCLA versus USC That could mean anything That could literally mean anything I don't know why people Are jumping to include And then were the Arch Manning ones real?

I don't know if they were real or not They kind of might have been photoshopped Because it was like Arch Manning Like Zaza They said butt stuff Poosh, Icy, nice hair, cheated, butt Now I think they saw When they said Zaza Also John Matier Turning gay, gay boy Slapping some balls Big fat cock Again this could mean anything Literally anything C-O-K-C Now the sports gambling ones I feel like that is just a joke Correct Like if you use Venmo You send your boys Fake things all the time For example I looked up Max Delente's Venmo transactions Back in 2019 How many of Jack McCarthy? This is pre-Barstool Max pre-Barstool Had an open Venmo transaction page By the way that's the biggest story Of this is like There's literally a button That you click that says private You just go private It's so easy I'm nervous about what you're doing As we're having this conversation I was like fuck You probably should Okay so what we've got here I've got On December 3rd 2019 It's just a tree You got paid for a tree Max And then you charge somebody else On that same day for another tree Sounds like you sold multiple Big tree guy And then on December 15th You paid someone else for a tree I used to do tree work in high school So it could have been like my boss Any question Any ski trips? I don't see any ski trips on here I see one that's just a beast Yeah You paid somebody for a beast You paid somebody for a bully You just call him bully Jerry calls people bullies all the time That is true And then let's see There's another one You got paid a lot of money for darts Me and my friends used to play You used to play darts in our first apartment And charged each other money But the big takeaway is that you were You were buying and selling a lot of trees Back then on Venmo Good for you I was a Christmas tree salesman too You know how the game is Sometimes you got to take it to Venmo It's a business The tree game is a business It's a business So I think that people Like if you're sending somebody Something that says sports gambling And the person is You know very clearly involved In college athletics You're fucking with that person Or they're fucking with you Right Right It's crazy Again it could mean Quite literally anything The fact that people are taking this Literal is nuts Also job material is on my Heisman watch list Completely irrelevant Completely irrelevant I just looked because I didn't realize that people Have just been requesting money from me Oh yeah Ben Huford said Saw a really cool painting Of some clowns for sale I should have hit him up for that A hundred bucks Someone also said People are going to start Venmo requesting you Yeah but I don't even look at it So I don't care Jordan Tufano said For making me listen to Mincy Daily That one I should have probably hit up Yeah And there's Joe Orson Mystery That's a mystery Yeah I've got a bunch of Outstanding Venmo requests on here I think Hank still owes me A thousand dollars For one of them But that's okay Yeah you're like Nine thousand bucks But where are we going to pack next Okay Alright good Yeah that was a funny story That was going on I don't think anything's going to happen Because how can you prove it Yeah I don't think that you can I mean the fact that he said Sports gambling parentheses UCLA versus USC On the day that that game happened That's going to be a tough one to defend for Yeah I don't know if the NCAA Has a good sense of irony My guess is that they don't That their investigators don't get jokes Yeah But we'll see Yeah we'll see We'll see Alright what's your cool throne My cool throne is Miles Garrett Driving fast Yeah Georgia Bulldog Georgia Bulldog He obviously got in a car accident 2022 flipped his Porsche Bad accident And then he was sighted Saturday morning I think coming back from their game After the plane landed Going 160 mile an hour And the team's aware of the situation I think this was his seventh time That's the problem With having sick cars You just want to go fast You know what I never thought of it that way But it's the car's fault It's really easy to go really fast Right Like too easy He probably didn't know he was speeding What's the update on your sick car Are you getting another car Are you getting a sick one I want to Okay Can we blame Shudder Sanders for this Bad leadership Yeah Bad leadership This is Shudder's fault If Flacco was starting He'd be going 5 miles an hour Under the speed limit Yeah SEC speed That's what he's got But yeah he's got to get Like an old truck or something Like a car that If it goes over like 60 It starts to like shake Yeah He should probably have these Like new sick you know You just tap it And it goes 100 miles an hour Right You can also just get rides Do you think that he maybe Just says that Well not So yes and no Because obviously you should If you're like going out for a night You should have a driver And security whatever I do love driving Like I've always thought about that Like why aren't these guys Just getting driven places If you're like driving If you're getting driven to work Every day that kind of sucks I would like to drive Yeah driving can be fun It can be good like release Especially when you're driving home from work Yeah It's like having a little separation If you're driving to work It's like good to like Get in your own zone and focus Yeah I wouldn't want to have a chauffeur Around if I were a professional athlete No Like again going out yes But like there's a flying here That's just been bothering me And we don't Is that episode of Breaking Bad Yeah This is a flying episode yeah Okay yeah but you're right The car's the fault You shouldn't speed 100 miles an hour 100 miles an hour is pretty dangerous Especially if you do it all the time If you're doing it constantly You should not do that But I'd rather be a defensive player doing it Than if it was a quarterback If a quarterback is driving 100 miles an hour I'm like bad leadership Bad teammate Wait It's like wearing your hat backwards Didn't Chidore get pulled over for the same thing No I don't think so I think Chidore is clean as a whistle I don't think the Audubon has pot holes You never know Yeah You never know What if you don't rock I Speed going 100 miles an hour is a problem But also Georgia football has won a lot of games So if Cleveland is taking on that mentality Then this could end up having them Have a chance at the division That's what I'm saying Yeah Alright good hot seat cool throne Thank you Great job Great job Great job So my hot seat was going to be jumped here But I think we covered that My cool throne is John Gruden Our colleague John Gruden He has won a part of a lawsuit Against the NFL Nice So this could go all the way to the Supreme Court If the NFL appeals it So at the heart of it is Coach Gruden is saying that the NFL Unfairly leaked his emails To various media sources True As part of It was part of the Washington football team Dan Snyder toxic culture investigation And then magically these emails From John Gruden One of like 13,000 emails that they had Appeared in the Wall Street Journal Then some more got leaked I think Adam Schefter was involved Remember when Schefter got on TV He made a clean sweep Of insulting remarks Against minorities and NFL commissioners Because he made fun of Roger Goodell In one of the emails that was released Right So this could go all the way to the Supreme Court Which would be awesome And if the Supreme Court loses that My guess is they're going to try to settle John Gruden And be like hey We don't want to go to Discovery Because then John Gruden and his legal team Can get their hands on all these emails He can burn the whole thing down If he wants to So looks like the Rabbits got the gun Commissioner Goodell Let's go Or you could just let John Gruden coach again That would be awesome That would be awesome I think he recently said he would love to coach in the SEC I think we're all rooting for that But we should have Florio on at some point Because we don't really know what we're talking about With these legal cases And Florio's all over this one This is like his wet dream My other cool throne is my golf swing Because I think I'm back Let's go I think I'm back You know how when I talked to you Hank I said I was Once I fixed something Another part of my swing broke Like I just decided that yesterday I was just going to step up And I was going to hit the fucking ball HFP That's what I'm saying Just hit the fucking ball Don't think about anything I was thinking about too much stuff And I'm confident Clear your mind I'm confident in my ability I'm locked in I'm going to bring back $250,000 And we're going to have a big two-seat party Right No, big two-seed point. Hell yes.

The biggest. Yeah. Hell yes. And I'm going to owe somebody $25,000.

Who's that? Somebody who bought a t-shirt. I owe them $25,000. Yeah, that's right.

I'm excited about the internet invitation this week, though. Yeah. The way I see it, if I play my best, I should be the best of the worst golfers there. That's a big place.

The best of the worst is a great spot to be in. That's a great spot to be in. All right, my hot seat is the Indianapolis Colts. You guys see the pretzel they debuted?

We're in new menu items in the NFL for preseason games, but they did a pretzel that just looks like a giant poop. It's supposed to be... It's the shoe. It's the shoe, but it's just a turd.

For the shoe, for the two. Our Colts. This is our Colts. This is our team.

I would eat that pretzel. Oh, dude. I would eat it in a second. The soft pretzel isn't really an underrated elite appetizer move for the table.

What do you guys 1-1 dip with the soft pretzel? 1-1? Because I know a lot of people like cheese. I like the honey mustard.

I think honey mustard's so good. The salty and sweet. I would argue that's not even the best mustard. I agree.

Okay, what's the best mustard? Spicy brown. Spicy brown. Listen, I like the spicy brown.

I love the honey mustard. That's my 1-1. Spicy brown. The beer cheese is the best.

I would rank mustard. I'd go spicy brown 1. I think Dijon 2. I like yellow.

Yeah, straight yellow mustard. And then I think honey mustard's my fourth. I like yellow on the dog. Like, there's certain things that yellow is important.

I feel like a dog is one of those things. There are certain things that yellow is important. That's well said. Profound.

There are certain things that yellow mustard is important. Yeah. And dogs is one of them. I would say, yeah, yeah.

Is there anything else that's important for it? A ham sandwich? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. That's good. That's good. Turkey, ham.

Oh, good yellow mustard. Okay. And then my cool throne was actually going to be John McTeer because I don't think he did anything wrong. I think we're all just reading way too into this whole entire thing.

Let me go cool throne Shohei Otani because he's getting sued, I think, but for $240 million. It's a real estate transaction of some sort. Yeah, I think this is actually a cool throne for Shohei Otani because if he gets sued for $240 million, it kind of just shoves down the whole gambling thing even further. You know what's cool throne for?

Short brand MVP? Yep. I didn't say it. You did.

Yep. I mean, if you're the MLB, you can't have Shohei Otani with all these controversies being the face of your league. That's such a good point. Like the gambling one, yeah, maybe blame it on the interpreter.

Fool me, one shame on you, fool me twice. Like who, you know, we're about to get this guy's fourth MVP in five years. MLB writers really need to do like justice here because they are the keepers of the game. There's a reason why Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa aren't in the Hall of Fame.

They need to be stewards of the game and Shohei Otani is a bad actor. Very bad. And Kyle Schwarber's a great dude. Where's his odds right now?

He's minus 1,000. Not for long. Not for long. So wait, he sabotaged a real estate deal.

Was this in Japan or was this in the United States? Hawaii. In Hawaii. Okay, so we can still blame a translator.

Yeah, and I also, whenever I see a lawsuit like this for $240 million, I feel like it's just someone just suing because they can sue. It's a huge amount of money. That's a huge amount of money. And I want to know how he's sabotaged it.

Let's look into it. Maybe we need to, you know what? Shohei was gambling. Sure.

Let's reopen that case for Kyle Schwarber. We should have eBay on the program. Yeah. Okay.

Zach. So my hot seat for today is Instagram. I may be a little bit behind here. Unbeknownst to me, Instagram dropped a map feature recently.

Have you guys seen the map feature on Instagram? I have not. So there's a map feature now. You can go in.

It's over by your messages. You click on the world icon and it's just got your UAV, just a live location where you're at. And some people are like automatically opted into it. Like mine was just like, I was just live and my location was on last night and I had no clue.

I wasn't sure when it started. As my brother about it, he said his was automatically off. So I'm not sure. Do you guys want to maybe check your Instagram messages out there because you could be just live paying your locations at all times.

Maybe we should. How do I get there? I haven't updated my Instagram in a long time. So you could be good.

You might be okay. All right. So I should not update. If you update, we'll just check it.

Make sure it's checked off because nobody wants their location to be out there without knowing that they opting into such a thing. So Zach, how do I get there? So if you go to the Instagram app, I'm not sharing my location. I see the map.

Okay. I think we should all share our locations. Should we start our locations with each other? No, I'm not sharing.

I think I share my location with Hank. Then when you're going on a ski trip? You share your location with Hank? I thought you were going on a ski trip.

Hank, look up Find Your Friends. I think that we were on a trip a long time ago. I think I enabled location sharing with Hank and nobody else. Yep.

You know who else? I don't, you know it's the most random person of all time. We had him on once. I don't know how we ended up sharing location.

Craig Engels. Really? The runner. Oh, that guy rocks.

He's in Peru right now. Damn. Most interesting man in the world. Did you guys see the other day that we have a high school runner that is like the next great American runner?

Yeah, I saw that. Yeah. 142, 800 meter? Yeah, he came in second place I think in the 800.

16? But he crushed the high school record by like 10 seconds. Yeah. Craig Engels.

Where is he? He's in Peru. He's in Peru. That's so weird that you have his location.

So weird. We need an update right now. I have like five people's locations. Just tell us when Craig Engels is on the move.

Ben Council Snowboard Ben. What a name. Okay. I have somebody that I don't know who it is.

Where do you look for this? Do you have mine? I just say find my. How do you do that?

I don't know how to look. Hank, you search find my in the search bar. Hank, you can see my location, but I can't see yours. Wow.

Power move. Yep. I have nothing. That's like when you used to block me on a...

You're probably cheating on me right now. When you used to block me on 18 Birdies, I'd block you. Oh, I do. I did have a very embarrassing moment where I...

Every day I would leave my garage and it would like update on my phone being like, you've left your iPods behind. Yeah. EarPods behind. And I was like, that's weird.

What? But for the longest time, I was like, that's weird. It must be like my wife's AirPods or something. And because I didn't know where my AirPods were.

And then I was cleaning out my garage and they were just in a pocket of pants that I had had in my garage in a pile for like eight months. I love that. Oh, that's where they are. I love that.

Just updated me every time. So I lost my AirPods in an Uber in New York like seven years ago, eight years ago. Didn't know where they were because Uber driver never got back to me when I reported and lost. That's a finder's keeper situation.

If you leave them in like an Uber or Lyft or whatever, I never expected to get them back. But then when we flew to Providence, Rhode Island for the rough and roundy a couple years ago, it pinged on my phone. I don't want to do that in. No.

That would be funny though. Yeah. It's like, hey, just walk up to him. So, hey, if you're listening to part of my take, maybe it's a listener right now.

That would be awesome. Enjoy. That's my gift to you. It's fucking fly.

All right, cool thrown. Look at him. He's just, he's, he's, he's taunting us. The way he's flying, he's taunting us.

You think he's got a camera on it? He's taunting us into, like, he just flew, we buzzed your head. He's taunting us. It's bothering me.

Okay, go ahead, you're cool thrown. My cool thrown today is EA because the Battlefield 6 beta has brought realism back into first-person shooter games. I have a video game question for you, Zach. I don't know how this ended up in my algorithm, but why are people upset about Mafia the Old Country game that you can't swim?

I've never played Mafia the Old Country game. I would assume if it's Old Country themed, that swimming would be a big survival tactic. Yeah, you can't swim. And I was just like, what does it matter?

Like, that's a classic video game. You jump in the water and then you respawn. But now they're doing swimming. They're doing swimming?

Yeah, for sure. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, there's a few tropes that you can set your watch to in video games. One, you fall in the water, you're dead, instantly just respawn.

Two, if you shoot a barrel, that barrel is containing, like, 20 grenades. A rollercoaster ride going throughout the weapon as you traverse the map. Battlefield 6, none of that. We used to be, we're riding tanks, we're rolling up buildings.

They should have a John Moran skin. I would probably think about getting that one. I do feel like this always happens, then COD comes out on top. Fact or fiction.

I agree. Fact. Yeah, definitely. Okay, good hot seat, cool thrones, boys.

Our team went for, we're talking about what girls do. Yep. I don't know if you guys did the same. Very open-ended.

I'm excited for this one. We're neck and neck. What's the updated score? I think we're all one point apart.

One point apart. So it means you've got the scores. I've got it. It's Big Cat and Zach in first place at 35 points.

Max and Meems in second, 34 points. Me and Hank in third place, 33 points. Wow. Okay, okay.

Anyone's game. Anyone's game. Here we go. The Mount Rushmore of unsexy things that are sexy.

And we go first. You guys go first. We are going to do, when a girl can finish a big meal. Ooh, a big eater.

You like a big eater. Just can hold her own at a dinner. Okay. Because you like to get a lot of abs, and if you're trying to wear lots of things, and you go with a girl who doesn't like to eat a lot, then you don't really get to eat a lot.

One time a girl beat me in an eating contest in college, it was on. Yeah. It was so on. Yeah.

Okay. All right. Good pick. We're going to go.

You want to go with number two here? I'll go too. Okay. We've talked about this before, PFT.

I think it came up in a Mount Rushmore before. I can't remember which one it was. I'll take it. Yeah.

The crack dive. Oh. It is so sexy. But it's unsexy.

But it is sexy. No, you see a crack dive. It's so hot. It's so hot.

By the way, we just absolutely destroyed an obliterated screen. Can we all just do this Mount Rushmore in the trust tree? Because when Zach and I were preparing for it, we were getting way too horny. Yeah.

Some of the shit we were throwing at you. Me and me were getting horny. He was saying the most mundane things. Yes.

Yes. We have some very mundane things. Fourth round pick, I'm going to let me say one of his mundane things that was insane. The honorable mentions will rock in this because Zach and I were talking about the most regular things.
