Wednesday July 3rd and

4:16

PFT we have

4:18

playoff P and Joel and

4:20

Bede teaming up in Philadelphia

4:23

NBA free agency not as fun as

4:25

it used to be which is

4:28

by design they changed the rules of

4:30

NBA free agency so anyone who complains

4:32

like oh we don't have all this

4:34

drama that literally is what people were

4:36

complaining about before with the super teams

4:39

but Paul George is the big ticket in

4:41

the NBA free agency and this is going

4:43

to be so so good

4:45

when they flame out of the playoffs I

4:48

don't know I think this is what switches all

4:50

around for Philly I like this I like that

4:52

you know what the Sixers are all in baby

4:54

Josh Harris is all in that's what he does

4:57

I like to move Paul George is a great

4:59

player should be a good compliment to Embiid

5:01

if he plays well they got maxi that's

5:03

their big three so I'm happy for max

5:05

I was very excited the news broke at

5:07

3 30 in the morning it actually

5:10

broke at 11 30 a.m.

5:12

over lunch overseas here so I

5:14

got to see it and then everybody was like I

5:16

can't wait till everyone else wakes up about it I

5:18

just wanted Max to be awake in that moment to

5:21

see how giddy he would get how much he would just squeal yeah

5:24

it's funny because I actually like to move as

5:27

well the Sixers have been building up to this

5:29

moment to add the third star and Paul

5:31

George is a very good player but

5:34

it is just very funny that it's

5:36

Paul George because I just don't

5:39

see how this is gonna end in anything

5:41

but tragic heartbreak for max and

5:44

you know it's just a

5:46

perfect setting I do think they're gonna be very good they

5:49

do have one of the best

5:51

big threes if not the best big three in

5:53

the NBA but again it's what

5:55

Hank you want to you want to you want to

5:57

chime in there and point the best

6:00

how old is this guy? Actually, he's 34.

6:02

He's 34. Let me just jump in real

6:04

quick because it's really a big four. It's

6:06

a big four. They got Embiid, they got

6:08

Maxi, they got Paul George and

6:10

they no longer have the contract

6:13

to Tobias Harris. Yeah, shout out

6:15

Tobias Harris. I mean that 50

6:18

million dollars for two years from the

6:20

Pistons. Being in that job,

6:23

everyone learned how to dribble and shoot because

6:25

being an NBA player this time of year,

6:27

you just get reminded like it rocks, getting

6:30

these kinds of contracts. All right,

6:32

so Max, how are you

6:35

feeling? What would you like

6:37

to say about our good friend Connor Griffin

6:39

who said, we have

6:41

to get to at least one

6:43

Eastern Conference final? That

6:45

was the biggest form of loser talk that

6:47

I've ever seen before in my life. You

6:49

get the biggest signing of the free agency.

6:52

You finally get that two-way

6:54

wing player that Embiid has

6:57

been looking for since Jimmy Butler. And then

6:59

you're like, if we get to an Eastern

7:01

Conference finals, it's a success. That's bullshit. Hank,

7:06

just with a no ball knowing take, saying that he's old

7:08

and he's washed, he's coming off one of the best years

7:10

of his career last year. He probably

7:12

doesn't have the four-year longevity

7:15

of his contract to be an elite player.

7:17

But we got two years. It's a two-year

7:19

window to at least make it. We

7:22

have to at least make a finals, make

7:24

a finals play for Eastern Conference. No,

7:26

NBA finals, beat the Celtics. We have to

7:28

beat the Celtics one of these next two

7:30

years. What if you get to the NBA

7:32

finals, but the Celtics, you don't beat the

7:34

Celtics on the path.

7:39

Is that an asterisk? Not

7:42

an asterisk. It still will feel good,

7:44

but it won't feel... We could beat

7:47

the Celtics in the first round and it could

7:49

feel... So what, you guys got the eight seed?

7:51

No, Celtics have

7:53

the eight. We have the one.

7:55

I love how in Max's wildest dreams, success

7:57

is making it to the NBA finals and

8:00

losing. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, that's

8:02

just that that's the. Worst

8:05

case scenario, best case scenario. I

8:08

know you said that that's the worst

8:10

version of success. Yeah, yeah, yes, yes.

8:13

I I do like to move for

8:15

the Sixers. They built up

8:17

for this point. They got, you

8:19

know, Paul George. It's going to be

8:21

a good team. I also love Paul

8:23

George, especially in this

8:25

day and age. I feel like Paul

8:28

George knows that he's just not a

8:30

number one guy. He's a really, really

8:32

good basketball player, but he's like, I

8:35

want to go try to compete the

8:37

Clippers didn't want to give me a

8:39

fourth year. The Clippers are essentially like

8:42

not restarting, but they their whole failed

8:44

Kawhi Paul George James Harden thing. They

8:47

have to figure that out. And Paul George is

8:49

like, yeah, I'm not a number one guy. I'd like to

8:51

go play some meaningful basketball. And

8:53

let's go to let's go to Philly where Joel and

8:56

beat and Tyrese Maxi will take a lot of the

8:58

burden off my shoulders. I just got to be Paul

9:00

George. It's got to be playoff P. Yeah,

9:03

it is. It is perfect. Like Paul George,

9:05

a guy whose name is synonymous with playoff

9:07

success joining the 76ers. It's

9:09

funny. It's very funny. It's a great

9:11

superstar edition for the culture of Philadelphia.

9:13

But I do think from basketball standpoint,

9:15

it's going to be fun. And also

9:18

you just mentioned like James Harden, that

9:20

whole experiment out there. James Harden hates

9:22

hates the Sixers front office. And

9:25

apparently Paul George was like, yeah,

9:27

I'm not going to pay any attention to

9:29

what you say. Yeah, you're probably you're probably

9:31

the problem, James. I I've seen enough close

9:33

up with my own two eyes to know

9:35

that maybe I should not trust what you're

9:37

saying about them. Yes. Yes. OK, so Paul

9:40

George was the big ticket. Again,

9:42

it is. It's funny because

9:44

you have seen people complain like, oh,

9:46

this NBA free agency sucks. That

9:48

was the whole point that you can't create.

9:51

It's it's harder to create super teams now

9:54

and you don't have the crazy

9:56

movement every every NBA free agency.

9:58

Other big. moves. Though

10:01

a couple I have a couple I want to talk

10:03

about one Stan

10:06

Cronkis strikes again KCP

10:08

going to the magic

10:10

and Stan Cronkis unwilling to

10:13

pay luxury tax and

10:15

build like when if

10:17

you're gonna have a time when you should

10:20

pay extra money and pay taxes and

10:23

like just throw everything in wouldn't it be

10:25

when you have the three-time MVP in the

10:27

prime of his career but nope that's just

10:29

not what the Nuggets are gonna do and

10:31

I feel like that was a huge that's

10:34

one of those ones that we're gonna look

10:36

at somewhere mid-season and be

10:38

like oh shit the Nuggets just they're

10:40

kind of missing a guy and it's

10:42

KCP. It's also great

10:44

for the magic the magic showed a little light in

10:46

the playoff I think it's a great move for them

10:48

yeah that's that's just Stan Cronkis being Stan Cronkis but

10:51

they might just look at the rest of their team

10:53

and say like I don't know maybe we've got maybe

10:55

we've got the guys that we don't need them necessarily

10:58

and he doesn't want to pay the

11:00

taxes the Boston Celtics don't give

11:02

a fuck about taxes. Boston Celtics

11:04

are paying everybody and their contracts

11:06

I read a stat online that

11:08

says that when the

11:10

current set of contracts is over

11:13

they will have paid more in

11:15

luxury than the Clippers

11:17

have paid in the entire existence of

11:19

the franchise. Whoa and the

11:21

Celtics Hank now are you gonna buy them

11:24

what's going on maybe if you can dunk

11:26

you'll have you'll have a little seed investment

11:28

on your way to buying the Celtics they're

11:30

for sale now. Yeah I'm forming a group

11:32

I'm trying to get a raise some capital

11:36

but yeah I mean they're selling high I guess

11:38

like kind of makes sense it's gonna be you

11:40

know probably the most expensive NBA franchise ever sold

11:42

so I'm gonna see what I can do.

11:45

We should oh you guys want to throw

11:47

down? No I'm just thinking about we're gonna

11:49

be listen come on

11:52

we're gonna I'll give

11:54

you if you dunk I'll give you ten thousand

11:56

dollars and that will go towards it. Hank. Whoa.

11:58

We're what? That's

12:00

my money though after I don't. Right,

12:03

but that's you can use that towards

12:06

buying the Celtics. Hank,

12:08

we're going to Tahoe next week to

12:11

do a bunch of interviews. Work. I

12:14

think you need to get a little

12:16

elevator pitch and every single rich athlete

12:18

we talk to, at

12:21

the end of the interview, you give them

12:23

a quick two-minute pitch on why they should,

12:26

you know, invest in Hank Lockwood

12:28

LLC that is going to eventually

12:30

buy the Celtics. Yeah,

12:33

I'm down. I mean, I know KG, KG was

12:35

super like he was involved a

12:37

few years ago and trying to, you know, in

12:39

a group trying to get involved with the Timberwolves

12:41

and was so fucking pissed when, you

12:43

know, he got passed over or whatever. So he's

12:46

at the top of the list. But yeah, I'm

12:48

down to make a run. It just we need

12:50

to raise like six billion

12:52

dollars. I think I wanted to be your group

12:54

though. I don't want you to join another group.

12:56

I want it to be Hank's group that he

12:58

brings everyone together and then you get the sweat

13:00

equity so you don't even have to put a

13:02

bunch of money in. You just you're the one

13:05

who connected all these people. Yeah,

13:07

I'll raise five point nine nine nine

13:09

nine nine billion and then I'll throw

13:11

down like 10K. Yeah. Yeah. And

13:13

then you'll talk and you'll throw down 20. Yeah.

13:17

Talk to Dave. I'm sure Dave would be down

13:19

to get involved in the Hank Lockwood Enterprise. Yeah,

13:21

Dave. Dave said he just he's four point

13:24

nine billion short. It's

13:26

so funny how like the levels

13:28

to Rich Guy there is and

13:31

like owning a NBA

13:33

or NFL franchise the

13:36

levels to Rich Guy are just

13:38

so obscene and out of

13:40

this world that it's not even you know,

13:42

you could Hank you could talk to a

13:45

thousand people and it would still get you

13:47

not even like one like 10 thousandth of

13:50

the way there. The net worth of the

13:52

entire and it's all celebrities and rich athletes

13:54

and actors and stuff and I don't think

13:56

you could combine all of their net worth

13:58

and be like a fifth of the way

14:00

there. Yeah, that's crazy. Like

14:02

Dave's the richest guy any of us

14:04

know and he he could liquidate all

14:06

his assets and maybe own like one

14:09

1000th of the team. That's

14:12

why banks exist bank you just go to a bank and

14:14

ask them for a loan to buy the Celtics see what

14:17

they say. I've heard rumors that

14:19

they're gonna a casino is gonna buy it and try

14:21

and rebuild the stadium somewhere else, which would be the

14:24

craziest move in the history of Boston. But would

14:26

it be a casino stadium? Well,

14:28

there's on there already is a casino like you

14:30

know, in the Charleston, Everett area.

14:32

So like, yeah, probably but that would be moving

14:35

it away from the garden would be bad, bad,

14:38

bad rock, somebody bad, and

14:40

then moved it out of Boston. Yeah, no,

14:42

that'd be that would be bad. Wouldn't

14:45

it be awesome, though, if someone actually made

14:47

a casino stadium, so it was just like

14:49

live tellers at your seat, you could play

14:51

blackjack in the middle of timeouts and stuff.

14:53

Isn't that the next wave? Yeah,

14:56

sounds like a bad sports down to me. This is

14:58

actually the downfall of the Celtics, though, because

15:00

they're just pay this owner is just paying

15:03

everyone a billion dollars. And then he's like

15:05

someone else deal with it. Someone else with

15:07

big money doesn't actually care

15:09

about Max Max, you don't know, you don't know.

15:11

You don't know. You don't know. Learn finance, learn

15:15

finance, learn assets, learn fucking value.

15:17

Max, they max, they locked up

15:19

their long term assets. Okay. Yeah.

15:22

But it's also very relatable to

15:24

just like, spend a bunch of money

15:26

on future contracts and then be like, Yeah, I actually don't

15:28

want to pay it. I just want to give them the

15:30

guy giving them the contract is the fun part. And now

15:32

you get all the team I guess, you get all the

15:34

credit, you get the handshake and be like, Yeah, I paid

15:36

you that money. But yeah, Max, unfortunately

15:38

for you, this take that you have right

15:40

now, you're lumped in with the Darren Ravels

15:43

of the world because he said the same

15:45

thing. Fuck I don't ever understand that. Why

15:47

wouldn't you if you own if you're trying

15:49

to buy a team, and they're

15:51

like, Hey, okay, yeah, $300 million

15:53

to Jason, Tatum, Jalen Brown, but you literally

15:56

have your two best players locked up for

15:58

the next whatever five, six years. That's

16:00

the team you want to buy. Learn

16:03

value. Yeah, but there's like 20 of them. They're

16:06

paying the whole team $200 million. Derek

16:09

White has, I mean, shout out to Derek White.

16:11

He re-signed on a fantastic deal. I think Tyros

16:13

Maxi gets paid like $80 million more. He's

16:16

not better. But

16:18

yet, Paul George is 45. Did you

16:20

see? Did you see? I saw one of

16:22

those fun little graphics that was like Paul George's

16:25

playoff numbers this year and Derek White's playoff

16:27

numbers this year. Derek White cleared them by far.

16:30

That is fun. Yeah, no, that's great. That's great.

16:32

No, no, I'm excited. Get your get

16:35

your celebration in now, Henry. I did.

16:37

I have. Celtics, Celtics, Celtics, Celtics. Yeah,

16:40

no, no, keep keep keep riding

16:43

high, buddy. I will. Things are

16:45

going downhill. OK, things are going

16:47

downhill. Fine. Hope

16:49

you've won a championship, Hank. It's

16:52

actually going to be not as good for you in

16:54

a couple of years. Yeah, I like you guys sitting

16:56

next to each other. It's a good vibe. OK,

16:59

other other and me.

17:02

I had a question actually for Max

17:04

Max. You sit next to Hank right now, who, by the way, still

17:07

looks great with his hair growing back in. It's

17:09

a crime that that your punishment turn into

17:11

something that you can actually use. Bald is

17:13

beautiful. PFT joined me. What

17:16

if the what if the Sixers win the

17:18

championship next year with Paul George? You shave that

17:20

head. Yeah,

17:24

yes. OK, nice. OK, nice.

17:26

Nice. What about the

17:29

play in or whatever the fuck? The

17:31

play in tournament season? No, in

17:33

Soul Patch, Soul Patch. You know, I've

17:37

heard only the the other

17:40

big news was Clay Thompson done with the

17:42

Warriors, which we all knew now

17:44

on the Mavs. I'm

17:46

buying Clay Thompson stock. I feel

17:48

like his ending at the Warriors

17:50

was kind of sad, but I

17:52

think he's going to be I think you're going to get like a

17:55

rejuvenated Clay Thompson hitting

17:57

wide open threes because Luke. is

18:00

going to take all the pressure off him. I

18:02

know Steph obviously did the same, but I'm

18:04

buying Clay Thompson. I don't think this is

18:07

the end of Clay Thompson. Everyone has written

18:09

him off. I'm not going to write him

18:11

off. Yeah, I mean, he's still

18:13

a great catch and shoot shooter. He didn't do that well

18:16

at the end of the season this year. What did he finish, like 0 for

18:18

10 in his last game? He had a bad last game.

18:20

He still shot like 39% from 3. I

18:25

also saw this awesome thread of

18:27

a Warriors fan who, I

18:29

think most Warriors fans appreciate everything Clay Thompson

18:31

did, even though it got weird at the

18:33

end. And the guy, he tore his ACL

18:36

and his Achilles at like whatever it was,

18:38

33 or something. He

18:41

had catastrophic injuries that definitely slowed him

18:43

down, but there was one, there was

18:46

a thread that had like all the

18:48

highlights of Clay Thompson. And

18:50

one of them was Clay Thompson scores 60

18:52

points on 14 dribbles. And

18:54

that's maybe the coolest stat I've ever seen.

18:56

Yeah. I think when we talked to Kirk

18:58

Goldsberry one time, we asked him about that.

19:00

He has the lowest dribble per point ratio

19:03

in the NBA. He just catch

19:05

and shoot, catch and shoot. And he'll be in

19:07

a great spot for that in Dallas. And it's

19:09

funny because you're starting to see a little bit

19:11

of like the post-mortem on Clay come out. I

19:13

saw reports saying that he

19:16

didn't get as much of the publicity like

19:18

Draymond, but he was just as messy behind

19:20

the scenes, but in his Clay Thompson way.

19:22

I can guarantee you that Clay Thompson was

19:25

not as messy as Draymond Green. Probably

19:27

Draymond is telling people in the media, like actually

19:30

he's kind of a dick too, because he didn't

19:32

like me, but people are starting

19:34

like turn on Clay in the Bay area, not the team,

19:36

but some of the fans are like, yeah, maybe he was kind

19:39

of low key an issue for us. That's

19:41

just, that's poor sportsmanship, salty fan

19:44

fandom. Well, you won four

19:46

championships. You won four championships. I actually

19:48

think you could make the argument and

19:51

maybe we could do Mount Rushmore of it

19:53

later this summer. I think

19:55

you could make the argument that the Jordan pool contract

19:57

was the worst contract ever given out in all of

19:59

sports. Not. just because of the money given to Jordan

20:01

pool, but what it did to the rest of the

20:03

team, because that was like, Clay

20:05

watching that, Draymond watching that. That

20:08

feels like the point, obviously they won a title

20:11

still after that, but, no, did they win the

20:13

title? No, they gave it to them after they

20:15

won the title, right? I

20:18

care my- I don't think

20:21

so. I do know it's a terrible contract. But

20:24

it like screwed up the whole vibes of everything. Yeah,

20:26

I think it was right around then. I think it

20:28

might've been the year of, or

20:30

the year directly after. But

20:33

that might be the worst contract of all time. It's

20:35

funny to say that he was almost as bad as Draymond.

20:37

You just didn't hear about the stuff and the stuff that

20:40

he did. Didn't make as big of

20:42

like a splash as Draymond. Yeah,

20:44

no shit. That's because Draymond actually kind

20:46

of lunatic. You don't need to

20:48

lump Clay in there just because you're upset that he's leaving. He

20:51

gets a tribute video. They didn't get

20:53

a tribute video for Clay. Yes,

20:57

agreed. All right. 2021

20:59

was the year they won. And

21:02

then he got his contract a year later,

21:05

I believe. So yeah, it

21:07

screwed up everything. Okay, I had two other stories

21:09

I wanted to hit real quick, PFT. When

21:12

I have something quick on the Clay Thompson thing. I don't

21:14

know if you guys have seen... I

21:17

feel bad for him because he probably can't go

21:20

on Instagram. The NBA Instagram, no matter what they

21:22

post, because obviously they post a bunch of Celtic

21:24

stuff. I see the post, click

21:26

in the comments. Every single post

21:28

they have, it just says, people

21:31

forget or like, but this reminds

21:33

you of that Clay Thompson went 0 for 10 in elimination

21:35

game. That's every single

21:38

comment on every single post

21:40

is, don't forget that Clay

21:42

Thompson went 0 and 10 in elimination game. You

21:44

know what? You know what? I'll stand in front of Clay

21:46

for this. People should change that and just say, people

21:49

forget Big Cat Bet the over on

21:51

Clay Thompson's points in that game. I'll

21:55

take the bullets for Clay. I

21:58

put too much pressure on him. You know

22:00

what it is? It's people just trying to

22:02

relive the greatness of people forget the Golden

22:04

State Warriors blew with three one lead in

22:06

the NBA Finals. You're absolutely right. That moment.

22:09

Yeah. We'll come back. You're trying

22:11

to make it happen again. Let it go. It was

22:13

great. You're trying to make fetch happen. All

22:16

right. The other two stories I had LeBron as

22:18

I don't think there's ever been a player

22:20

that has held a franchise hostage more than

22:22

LeBron has the Lakers hostage right now. And

22:24

it's maybe my favorite ongoing

22:26

thing that he's pretending that isn't

22:29

existing. Listen, the

22:31

LeBron the LeBron sexuals are listening right now.

22:33

I'm not saying anything against LeBron the player.

22:36

He hired JJ Reddick and said that he had

22:38

nothing to do with it even though he did

22:40

a four month interview about their basketball philosophy. He's

22:44

drafted Bronnie and now

22:46

he's saying he'll take less money if

22:48

they can sign someone good, which I don't

22:50

even know what that means because it's up

22:52

to LeBron. But it's

22:55

just so fucking funny because he's got

22:57

this. He basically is the Lakers. The

23:00

ones proud Los Angeles Lakers are

23:02

just the LeBron Lakers at this

23:04

point. It

23:06

would rock if he just decided not to

23:08

sign that contract extension and just signed

23:10

somewhere else and made him draft his son.

23:14

That's what I'm hoping happened. What does it

23:16

mean? Like we need to get another good player. How

23:18

many good players are out there just waiting to be

23:20

signed right now? Playoff P's

23:22

gone. KCP is gone. Maybe his other brother

23:24

or maybe his other son. Yeah,

23:27

Donovan Mitchell just signed with the Cavs, which I

23:29

think the Cavs had to do that. That's

23:32

like a beware though of how

23:34

these things always work out. I mean,

23:36

the Bulls are showing it

23:38

when they're they're trying to get rid of Zach

23:40

Levine and they have to send a pic with him. So

23:44

yeah, I don't know. I don't know what it means, but

23:46

I just I love the I love the fact that he's

23:48

holding everyone hostage here. Hank, what

23:50

was that face? I

23:52

ordered food in my fucking apartment. Oh

23:54

no. Damn. So

23:57

hungry too. All right. Whatever.

24:00

a week. It's not gonna do it all the time either when I

24:03

did it after we came back from beer

24:05

games. I ordered three orders to

24:07

the hotel. We were staying at Nashville. I was

24:09

like, why the fuck is this not getting delivered?

24:12

They're scamming me. And then I realized I

24:14

just kept on smashing reorder to the hotel. We

24:16

stayed at that for one night. Yeah.

24:19

So that was fun. Max,

24:22

remember when you ordered all that Taco Bell to your

24:24

girlfriend's place? Yeah, that was, that was a good guy

24:26

move by me. That was a good guy move. The

24:30

last story I had was Hank, would you

24:32

like to, we touched

24:34

on it very briefly before we went to

24:36

break, but the

24:39

Kyle Philipowski story is crazy. Would

24:42

you like to talk about this at all?

24:44

Hank is a noted Duke fan. I don't,

24:47

I don't even understand how Duke was able

24:49

to keep this under wraps the way they

24:51

did for the last two years. It's nuts.

24:53

What does Duke have to do with it?

24:55

This is a Kyle Philipowski problem. No, like

24:58

he got groomed. What

25:02

are my questions? What is Duke supposed to do

25:04

about that? You're supposed to meddle in the lives

25:06

of your players. Like there's people have all types

25:08

of crazy family shit going on in every team.

25:12

And like, do you think he told them? Like, do you think,

25:14

do you think they knew everything? Everything.

25:17

How? Because she's literally, it's

25:19

pretty clear that she's there

25:21

a hundred percent of the

25:23

time. She was in the

25:25

office. Kyle Philipowski was in

25:27

the office working out and she was there.

25:30

Obviously didn't know the story. I would have, I

25:32

would have, I would have, I would have literally

25:35

taken out a whistle and been like, teed

25:37

them both up and said, Hey,

25:39

Duke, do something. I mean, it's proud Duke.

25:42

I think it's more of the family was telling

25:44

Duke about this because the family was trying, was

25:46

trying to get everyone to stop this. And

25:50

they were telling everyone. What is Duke supposed

25:52

to do though? Like riddle me that. Stop

25:54

letting grooming happen. How? Just

25:57

say stop. And what

25:59

if he says, I love her, which is obviously what he's

26:01

saying. No, you don't. Stop it. Why?

26:04

Then you say, you don't love her. You've

26:07

been brainwashed right now. Yeah. You don't know

26:09

what love is. Yeah. Hey,

26:11

stop it right now. I

26:15

do think the internet as

26:17

a whole shares some blame in this, because

26:19

the internet, you have to know

26:21

this before draft day, right? You have to be

26:23

on this. The Instagram posts, they were public. They've

26:25

been up. But it took the internet four

26:28

years too long, three years too long to figure

26:30

this out and put it out there for us to

26:32

see. I don't like that part of

26:34

it. That shows that we're between that and the Clay

26:37

Thompson thing. We're slacking online right now. I'd like to

26:39

see us step it back up. Well,

26:41

I agree, PFT. It also could

26:43

have easily been John Shire just saying, stop

26:45

it right now. And he never

26:47

did that. His parents clearly did that.

26:50

He clearly wasn't going to listen. Hank,

26:53

they clearly didn't say it strong enough. They

26:56

cared more about getting points

26:59

and rebounds out of the

27:01

guy than his own mental

27:03

well-being. The brotherhood means nothing.

27:07

The brotherhood is essentially the

27:09

brotherhood until you get groomed

27:12

as a high schooler and then get

27:14

snatched up and then have your girlfriend

27:16

ex-communicate your family. Then guess what? The

27:18

brotherhood doesn't count. I thought the brotherhood

27:21

counted for something. In

27:23

my day, we used to say bros before hoes. And

27:26

it looks like that day's over. Yeah,

27:28

but if you're not a Duke, everyone knows a guy

27:31

that's caught up in a relationship that

27:33

everyone else knows that they shouldn't be in. But they don't

27:35

want to listen. When you're 17

27:38

and she's 26, Hank, obviously,

27:42

it's a muddy waters. But it's like, is

27:44

it? Is it muddy? Where is it? It's

27:46

crystal clear. It's fucked up by the girl.

27:49

It's grooming. And it's not OK about what

27:51

the girl did. But when you're 17, hooking

27:53

up with an older girl is cool. Fact

27:55

or fiction? Hank, Hank,

27:57

now this is your money. Right now. No,

28:00

I'm just saying like you're getting muddy. No,

28:02

I'm saying it's wrong by her but like

28:04

from his perspective It's like yeah, like you

28:06

don't obviously he didn't realize he was being

28:08

groomed. But like again, it's like,

28:10

you know the when when Teachers

28:13

hook up with students like No,

28:16

I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying that

28:18

is fucked up. But when you're a

28:20

kid You guys don't want to

28:22

hook up with any of your kid You

28:25

guys weren't like oh my god to

28:27

be so cool where brains weren't developed

28:29

I'm saying his brain it wasn't developed.

28:31

I'm not I'm saying everything that she

28:33

did is wrong groomer But

28:35

like again, whatever it is what it

28:37

is downfall of Hank starting now Whatever

28:44

cancel me Well

28:48

Hank I don't think you'd have any idea what

28:50

it's like to hook up with a girl who's

28:52

like nine years old Oh exactly Hank

28:55

this is bad. No, it's not shut

28:57

up They

29:00

didn't stop it. They were at the office and

29:02

you didn't do shit big cat I thought I

29:04

had known I would have taken up. I already

29:06

said that so John sorry to know either. Yes,

29:08

he did How do you know that how do

29:10

you know that his family was asking him for

29:12

help? The girlfriend was everywhere his family.

29:14

What do you mean? So they DM you and you

29:16

didn't do shit about it No, they didn't they never

29:18

DM me if they had DM me I would have

29:20

whistle-blowed Fastly you could you think

29:22

me me if I had a chance

29:24

to take down Duke they were in this office and

29:26

you did nothing I would I wish

29:29

I had no really sad It's

29:32

it's really sad that this unfortunate story is taking

29:34

away from what should be the headline Which

29:37

is the remarkable recovery that he made from

29:40

his leg After they stormed

29:42

against him That's what we should be thought

29:44

we should be celebrating modern medicine Instead of

29:46

having to having to go to to catch

29:48

a predator comm to look at pictures of

29:50

his girlfriend Hank it's just

29:52

really sad the Brotherhood has let everyone down I

29:54

just want any future Duke guys to know that

29:57

if you go there there listen

29:59

they all they care about points and rebounds. They don't

30:01

care about the human being. Fact.

30:04

Yeah, we'll cut this. We'll

30:07

cut this. Okay. Okay.

30:09

Let's do hot seat. Cool. Tyrone. It's

30:11

30:27

With game time, the official ticketing partner bar stool

30:53

31:13

time. Pug really screwed me. Every single

31:15

person in the office has texted me and just

31:17

not even asking for dates. They're just like, Hey,

31:20

can you just let me know when? And I'm like,

31:22

what does that mean? So

31:24

32:31

There's a million people that would love to

32:33

32:37

33:24

Yeah, what happened there? I just

33:26

like saw them on the river walk and I got excited

33:28

I was like and I started clapping I was like, let's

33:30

go Phil's boys and then I took like five sets steps

33:32

back and I was like, why did I do that? That

33:34

was so stupid. Why did you say you should have just

33:36

said I have a podcast and now that's

33:38

what that's way worse Way

33:40

worse. Come on. No, I do that

33:43

33:45

at everybody I have a podcast to ask me about

33:47

has to be about my podcast Um,

33:50

okay, you're cool thrown Hank. My cool. Throw

33:52

is a hawk to a girl. Oh I

33:55

had that as well. Yes in Nashville.

33:58

She's sung revival on stage was actually

34:00

Brian. And she did an

34:02

interview with Brie our coworker backstage

34:04

that has like a million views, I think in

34:07

one day. Yeah, also, yeah,

34:09

also led us to one of

34:11

the funniest exchanges on

34:13

Twitter. Laura loomer, who you're gonna have

34:15

to help me PFT what is she?

34:19

I don't know. I don't know what she

34:21

is. She's on Twitter. She's a user. Okay,

34:23

all right. All right. Oh, yeah, she's investigative

34:26

journalism. She said, watch

34:28

the degenerate hawk to a girl whose real

34:30

name is Haley Welsh is anti Trump in

34:33

her first interview since going viral. She was

34:35

asked about Donald Trump. She said it's a

34:37

no for me. Stop giving skanks

34:39

attention. The girl was made famous for

34:41

talking about spitting on a penis during

34:44

oral sex. She is not to be

34:46

taken seriously. No self respecting woman goes

34:48

around talking about spitting on penises. She

34:50

clearly is a moron and behaves like

34:53

white trash. Typical Biden supporter next. And

34:55

then Bill Ackman replied, Laura, you

34:57

got this one wrong. That was the

34:59

not the question she was asked. And

35:01

I don't think you can determine her

35:03

politics from the clip. You might want

35:06

to review it again. And Laura Loomer

35:08

responded I stand corrected upon further review.

35:10

It turns out that she was only

35:12

talking about whether she would perform fellatio

35:14

on President Trump. Her plans for election

35:16

day remain unclear. Yeah,

35:18

so we'll see. We're gonna wait for all the

35:20

facts to come before determining whether or not she's

35:23

good. She has I guarantee you the segment from

35:25

agree like we should maybe record that the last

35:27

week. Because every girl want to be like, well,

35:29

I saw the I got to try the hawk

35:32

to Yeah, it was like this hawk to or

35:34

no. That was the segment. That's

35:36

great. Would you know this person or

35:38

not? It's

35:41

a no for me for Trump

35:43

that people are like, this is

35:45

crazy. She she's a liberal.

35:49

Oh, man, that actually it's very classy of

35:51

her to be like, No, I wouldn't talk

35:53

to the President. That's

35:56

a nice thing to do. Yeah,

35:58

man. Yeah. the office.

36:01

Okay. That's also a little bit move, right? That's what

36:03

the Dems do. Yeah. Yeah.

36:07

All right. To the president. I

36:10

don't know if there's Yeah, I guess Monica Lewinsky.

36:13

Yeah, it's hot. It's the only proof of hot

36:15

to a new president with a great hot to.

36:18

Yeah. Yeah. Is

36:20

that's a big question that the internet

36:23

should debate is hot to a

36:25

lib or a Republican move.

36:29

Okay. Okay. PFT

36:31

your hot seat cool. Tron. My

36:34

hot seat is Greg Burhalter, coach

36:36

of the US men's national team. We put them on the

36:38

hot seat. It feels like months ago. Feels

36:40

like years ago. It feels like two years ago.

36:42

He's on the hot seat. But the USA they

36:44

lost to Uruguay won nothing. They're out

36:46

of the cope America. They were the host country. They

36:48

had the what's the opposite of the group of death.

36:51

Whatever that is. That's that's what we were in. Yeah.

36:55

We stunk. We stopped. Our players

36:57

didn't play that well but our coaching stunk. And so now

36:59

he's got to be fired. We got to fire Greg. Wasn't

37:01

it time if we're not going to fire him now just

37:04

might as well give up on the World Cup. I

37:06

have a question for you PFT. Now

37:09

I agree that Greg Burhalter should be fired

37:11

and I don't really have any basis besides

37:13

everyone else is saying it. So I'm like

37:15

fine. Fuck it. If there's a

37:17

picket for you know if we're all if

37:19

we're all grabbing our pitchforks for coach I'm

37:22

in. Is there

37:24

a chance we just suck at soccer. We

37:27

shouldn't though. Yes. Right

37:29

now we do suck. Yes. At this

37:31

moment we suck at soccer but our players are good. They play

37:33

on the best teams in the world. Okay

37:36

but I I was watching that whole

37:38

game last night and we

37:42

had to win and we

37:44

basically just didn't try to

37:46

score. We

37:48

looked like shit. And this could

37:50

be Burhalter but then I was

37:53

looking it up today. Essentially

37:56

US men's soccer team has told

37:59

everyone this is a. the golden generation because we

38:01

can beat Mexico. We don't

38:03

beat anyone else. We just beat Mexico and Mexico

38:05

kind of stinks now. So

38:08

that's the bar for it's been the bar for

38:10

us soccer for a long time. It's like if

38:12

you can dominate your rival, then it's all good.

38:14

If you can, if you can beat them in

38:16

important games, then it feels like you've got a

38:18

good team, which is a decent thing to have

38:20

as like your mark of whether or not your

38:22

team's good if Mexico is good,

38:25

but Mexico hasn't been good. Right. It's

38:28

not the same as you used to eat. So yeah, he's been skating

38:30

by basically on having teams like only,

38:32

you know, they made it out of the World

38:34

Cup group, which was nice. I guess you

38:37

kind of had to do that. We did win that

38:39

zero zero draw against England, which was huge for us.

38:42

And then we had, we won the one, one

38:44

draw against Brazil, which is also massive. But

38:47

besides those two wins that were actually draws

38:50

Greg hasn't done shit except beat Mexico. That's

38:52

the only thing that he does. The players

38:54

beat your rival, but the

38:56

players too have to take some

38:58

onus. No, the, the, I

39:00

saw Justin Moran

39:02

tweeted out that in

39:05

the last six years, five years, if

39:08

you take out our wins against Mexico, the

39:10

best win that the US men's national team

39:12

has is over Iran. One

39:14

nothing. Yeah. Yeah.

39:17

We don't, we don't score goals. We

39:19

also just don't score goals. It's like,

39:22

it's also just a terrible product to

39:24

watch. We don't score goals and we

39:26

don't even create chances to score goals.

39:29

Yeah. We're not aggressive enough. We put in, we put in an

39:32

extra defender when we lost the guy to a

39:34

red card because we're just trying to get a

39:36

tie. We love playing for ties and it's bullshit

39:39

and it sucks. And it takes the fun out

39:41

of watching sports when the team that you cheer

39:43

for doesn't even try to score. And

39:45

in the game last night, did you see what Greg did? He

39:48

was watching the score of the Bolivia Panama game

39:50

and telling the guys on the field, like, Hey,

39:52

their score is one, one right now. We're okay.

39:55

Play for a draw. It's loser talk. That's

39:57

loser mentality. Greg needs to be out. we

40:00

can get. I've heard people say Klopp. He's

40:03

good. We'd have to pay him a ton of money. Good

40:06

paying pay him all the money. I also

40:09

I thought about maybe getting that German coach remember

40:11

the one that uses take his hand down his

40:13

pants and and smell it on the sidelines. Remember

40:15

that dude. Yeah he was cool.

40:18

The German coach the one who was like his own boogers

40:20

on the sideline. I'll take him. I'll take the booger eater.

40:23

I don't know. I just I'm starting to think

40:25

that as bad as

40:27

Berhalter is again everyone told me he's

40:30

terrible. So I'll agree with everyone on

40:32

this because I don't know enough about

40:34

soccer at some point.

40:36

It's also the players know. Yeah

40:39

they haven't played well as a team at

40:41

all. But that's the thing like they are

40:43

good players who play on good teams overseas.

40:46

But are they if they were good we would win.

40:48

Yeah. If they were good we'd beat

40:50

Panama. No you

40:52

can have a good team. You get a

40:55

team of good players that suck playing

40:57

as a team is possible. So

40:59

then they Greg. But but so then

41:01

they but I don't know how good

41:03

are the player. I feel like everyone just tells us

41:06

that this is the best players that we've ever had.

41:08

And yet if you look at it it's

41:10

like 20 years ago we are

41:12

30 years ago we accomplished way more.

41:16

So that the players that we have right now

41:18

are playing at a higher level internationally

41:21

than we've ever had before in this country. And

41:23

that's why you can't really debate that because it's

41:26

just fact. But the team the

41:28

team they suck ass. They

41:31

stink. And they're all taking

41:33

their taking responsibility. Yeah I'm

41:35

just I'm I'm more

41:37

just I want Berhalter out but

41:40

maybe we stink at soccer. Story

41:43

developing. We do right. Yeah. Right

41:45

now right now we do stink at soccer but we have

41:47

good players. And that's what makes it so frustrating is like

41:49

the World Cup in two years should

41:52

be awesome. It should be so much fun for

41:54

U.S. fans and bandwagon fans. That's the best time

41:56

to join the bandwagon is at the World Cup

41:58

and just blindly support country, but

42:01

it's going to suck if we have a team

42:03

that's good on paper and can't do shit like

42:05

this was the easiest draw for us. We still

42:07

couldn't do anything with it. Yeah,

42:09

I just I keep getting stuck on like the

42:11

on paper and then as a team, they just

42:13

never have done anything. Well,

42:17

yeah, they're they're young. They've only played

42:19

in the history of this show. I

42:21

like have we done anything we win

42:23

these random ass fucking we

42:25

got it. We have a couple of cops in

42:27

like Mexico. We're better. Oh, yeah, we

42:30

won the gold cup. We beat

42:32

Mexico. That's it. We just beat

42:34

Mexico. We beat them consistently and we beat teams

42:36

by tying them. That's what that's what this iteration

42:38

of the team has done. They're

42:41

good players, but they suck it. They suck right

42:43

now. The team sucks. There's no you can't sugarcoat

42:45

that. You a soccer sucks ass right now. Okay,

42:48

you're cool thrown. My

42:51

cool throne is just dad's asking if those

42:53

are gunshots or fireworks. I

42:55

like big week for that. Yeah, huge week for that.

42:57

You're going to hear a lot of pops and you get

42:59

a lot of dads being like that. Was that gunshots?

43:02

No, it's fireworks. It's the 4th of July. Yeah,

43:05

that that is a fun little fun

43:07

wrinkle that we have coming up. All right. My

43:10

hot seat is something that we have all kind

43:12

of forgotten, but it's going to happen on

43:15

Thursday. America's

43:17

on the hot seat because it just

43:20

dawned on me again that Joey chest that's not

43:22

competing. That fucking sucks. Yeah,

43:25

and it's not going to hit the same. I know

43:28

he's doing the competition against Kobayashi, but I need that

43:30

on the 4th. I think he's

43:32

doing one on the 4th against some troops. It

43:35

just I'm going to wake up on the 4th

43:37

and I just want to give everyone like a

43:39

pre-warning because the big news happened

43:41

what three weeks ago. And

43:43

now we're right on the cusp of the 4th of July. One

43:46

of the best holidays we have. And

43:49

one of the things that makes it the best holidays is

43:51

just not going to be there. And I

43:53

think we all just need to be like ready for

43:55

it because it's going to suck beyond belief. Yeah.

43:59

That's going to be a good one. You know what

44:01

would be awesome if the Hawk 2 are all competed

44:03

in the Nathan's hot dog eating contest Yeah, that would

44:05

add a fun little wrinkle to it or just spit

44:07

on the hot dogs before you eat them See if

44:10

it works then. Yeah Okay, my

44:12

cool throne is I have to real quick.

44:14

I just want to say It's

44:17

it's early but I actually

44:20

think the Bulls and the Blackhawks are both

44:22

doing good things because they're actually Coming to

44:24

grips with the fact that they're not competing

44:26

for championships and making the correct moves The

44:28

Blackhawks signed a bunch of guys on a one-year

44:30

deal to try to get competitive and then

44:32

not lock anyone up for a long term

44:34

build around the young core and the Bulls

44:36

are Trying to get rid of

44:38

Zach Levine not gonna re-sign to Marta Rosen who I

44:40

love but maybe there's

44:42

actually some hope if this will all probably

44:45

blow up in my face because There

44:48

is you know, it's still Jerry Ryan

44:50

store who is going to be like Hey I

44:52

want to win 40 games and get to the

44:54

play and let's figure out a way they Fucked

44:56

up so bad Andre Drummond went to the Sixers.

44:59

They could have traded him for picks

45:01

at the deadline Caruso same thing both

45:03

guys Gone from the

45:05

team and then my other cool throne is did you

45:08

guys see this? Guy

45:10

on power slap name. I think his name is

45:12

butter ball. Is that his name? Butterball,

45:15

he's this little Short

45:17

guy who just finally came over to

45:19

America and he just kicks the shit

45:21

out of guys and power slap slap

45:24

I don't know power slap. It's

45:26

a weird sport, but I think this guy

45:29

has the it factor Yeah,

45:31

so power slap to my knowledge.

45:33

It only exists as clips that we watch online

45:35

I've never seen a stream of power slap. I

45:38

can't imagine going to a power slap event sober

45:40

That to me seems like that would be a

45:42

just a crazy thing to do It's like going

45:44

to dark sober, but I like the clips the

45:46

clips are fun Yeah, the

45:49

clips are very very fun What

45:51

is this guy's name? Oh, no dumpling his

45:53

name's dumpling Siberian farmer named

45:55

dumpling. I Don't

45:58

know why I said butter. I was singing butter bean.

46:01

And I guess because he's

46:03

shorter, he's got an advantage.

46:05

So PFT, this might be your sport. Because

46:08

I guess when you're going, when you're going

46:10

up on someone, it's it's easier to concuss

46:12

them than when you're when

46:14

you're slapping down on someone. So

46:17

if somebody slapping down on me, it's

46:19

easier for me to absorb that blow.

46:21

Correct. And and dumpling never been knocked

46:23

out. Yeah, dumpling is able

46:25

to slap up and just

46:27

fucking knock dudes out. I'm

46:30

gonna pretty awesome. Pretty awesome. Okay,

46:32

maybe we do that live stream power

46:35

slap the two guys that finished in

46:37

last place in Mount Rushmore. I

46:40

hate that we're gonna bring Mount Rushmore back

46:42

on Monday. Like I

46:44

said, we're on vacation this week. Thank

46:46

you everyone who tuned in on Monday for

46:48

Dungeons and Dragons. We love doing those shows, do

46:51

them a couple times a year. But yeah,

46:53

this is our one kind of vacation week

46:55

of the year. So

46:57

there's no show Friday. We're back on Monday

46:59

in studio with Joe burrow and

47:01

Mount Rushmore. Let's

47:04

though kick it to ourselves. We have

47:06

Gunnar Henderson and our dingers only draft

47:08

which listen, if you're a

47:10

seam head, prepare to

47:13

get triggered. Because yeah,

47:15

we will trigger some people but we know ball

47:17

now and the league is going to officially start

47:19

on July 4. That's when the home runs start

47:21

counting. And the

47:24

dingers only league was meant to make us to

47:26

force us to start watching ball in

47:28

these early days of the season. And

47:30

you know what, it was

47:32

better than last time. Yeah, better draft than

47:34

last year. It was Jerry

47:37

Jerry's a huge piece of shit. Jerry's a huge

47:39

piece of shit for all Phillies fans out there.

47:41

Jerry's a huge piece of shit. Oh,

47:43

okay. Well, let's kick it to

47:45

ourselves. Okay,

47:49

we now welcome on a very special

47:51

guest. So we're about to draft our

47:53

dingers only league and we

47:55

thought why not have one of the

47:57

best home run hitters in all of baseball.

48:00

on the show. It is Baltimore

48:03

Orioles shortstop, Phenom, my

48:06

personal pick for MVP, best

48:09

friends with Stephen Che, Gunnar Henderson. Gunnar,

48:11

thank you for joining us. Let's

48:14

start here. We're going

48:16

to draft these teams for the Dingers Only

48:18

League. Do you want to make

48:20

your pitch to everyone

48:22

who's going to be drafting on why

48:25

you should be a high draft pick

48:28

in a league that only counts home runs? Yeah,

48:30

I mean, shoot, I mean,

48:32

I'm at the ballpark every day. I'm trying

48:34

to put in the work. So, you know,

48:36

put on for the Dinger League. I've heard

48:38

that it's a very prestigious league. So, honored

48:40

to be considered part of it. And, you

48:42

know, yeah, just trying to do my

48:44

part to help whoever gets me picked. So, just know you're

48:46

getting 110% effort. I like that. Humility

48:49

is important for me when I'm selecting my team.

48:51

Another thing that's very important for me personally is

48:53

each person's walk-up song when they come up to

48:55

the play. I want to know that my guy

48:57

is stepping up there with the

49:00

blood pumping, heart rate

49:02

going, preferably a good, nice,

49:04

clean rock and roll song, old school.

49:07

So, I need to know what's your walk-up

49:09

song? Yeah, I did have a rock and

49:11

roll song. It was Kickstart My Heart last

49:14

year, but I've transitioned

49:16

into The Sweet Escape by Gwen

49:18

Stefani. And it gets the crowd

49:20

going. You

49:22

get to hear them cheering on. So, yeah,

49:25

I do enjoy my rock and roll, but this

49:27

one seems to get the crowd involved. I like

49:29

that one. Gwen Stefani, you can never go wrong

49:31

with her. How about this, Gunnar? Let's

49:33

say situational baseball.

49:37

It's late in the game. And

49:39

you got first and second. And

49:42

you may be doing a hit and run. And that's

49:45

called in and you're just

49:48

trying to get some contact, get the guys

49:50

moving over. Will you in the

49:52

back of your head be like, but big

49:55

cat drafting me in dingers only and

49:57

we need a long ball here. What kind of commitment

49:59

are you? you're going to give pitch me to draft

50:02

you? I mean, I

50:04

have it. The hit and run is they all

50:07

you got to do is put the bat on

50:09

the ball. But it didn't say that it had

50:11

to be not in the

50:13

air. So true. That's my take. OK,

50:15

now what about if it's a three

50:17

and no count and you

50:19

got the green light and a pitch comes in,

50:22

let's say let's say the pitcher grooves a fastball,

50:24

but it's up in the zone, it's looking like

50:27

it might be ball four. But

50:29

you know that you can hit the shit out of it.

50:31

Are you still going to take a cut? If I got

50:33

the green light, I might I'm going to let something rip

50:35

at it. OK, all right.

50:37

I appreciate that. How

50:40

much do you hate getting walked? Yeah,

50:42

I've seen the videos where people think that

50:44

I really hate walking, but I actually really

50:46

enjoy walking. So I know that I know

50:48

that doesn't suit the the Dingers only league.

50:50

But yeah, I do

50:53

enjoy walking a little to help the guy

50:55

behind me get some RBS. You're you're lying

50:57

because we have seen the videos and you

50:59

throw your bat and disgust and you're upset

51:02

that you're walking. I like

51:04

that you're up there to hit. So you like I

51:06

know that it's good. A walk is good as a

51:08

hit. That's what they say. But you

51:10

want to hit, right? Yeah, I mean, going

51:12

up there wanted to do some damage. But

51:15

yeah, I guess I guess walks are just as

51:17

good as hits. So I mean,

51:20

obviously, I guess your one one position is to

51:22

get a hit. But if they don't throw your

51:24

strike, then don't don't strike out and chase stuff.

51:26

Yeah, I think I think in theory you understand

51:28

that walks are good. But as it's happening to

51:30

you, you're like, I really wish I could hit

51:32

a tater. Yeah, I mean, obviously, like I said,

51:34

a hit a hit is obviously the one one

51:37

scenario. But I

51:39

guess walks come with the come with the game as well. What's

51:42

the farthest home run that you've ever hit? I

51:45

think it was last year, the one on Utah. I

51:48

made it to Utah Street as my first one ever.

51:51

I think it was like four hundred and sixty two.

51:53

That's what they what they did. It's pretty good. Yeah,

51:55

very good. What's your favorite home run you've ever hit?

51:57

Oh, favorite one. So

52:01

I have one later in the game

52:03

against the Rockies last year left on

52:05

left. I think it put us up

52:07

by one in the bottom of the eighth like

52:09

two outs. I want to say so that one that one's up there.

52:12

And then my first career Grand Slam

52:14

was that one's up there too. Okay. Wrong

52:17

answer. It was the next one. Your next one's

52:19

your favorite home run. And you keep

52:21

saying the next one and the next one. How

52:24

many wait. How many multi-home run games do you

52:26

have in your career? Do you have any? Yeah

52:28

I have one in Houston. Okay.

52:32

And then I know I have one in New York last year. Okay.

52:35

And then after this

52:37

Dinger League draft hopefully a couple more of

52:39

this. Yeah. Good answer. I like that

52:41

a lot. This feels good. We should interview every

52:43

player we draft. Have you ever hit the warehouse in

52:45

batting practice? No I have

52:47

not made it that far yet. Okay. Still

52:50

getting it. Are you more of

52:52

a cat person or a dog person? I'm

52:54

100% more of a dog person. Alright. Good

52:57

answer. How do you feel about the name

52:59

Gunner? Do you like it? I feel like Gunner is a good

53:01

Dinger name. Yeah. I feel like that's that would be up there

53:03

in the Dinger League draft

53:05

of names. Yeah. I'm

53:07

hoping that'll put me over the top for

53:09

if you have any split decisions.

53:12

What about other guys on your team? Because so

53:14

the Dinger only league how it works is we

53:17

have to have one guy from every position. Picture

53:20

us on someone else that you think

53:22

might have a hot second half because

53:24

the Dinger's only league we started in

53:26

July. So the first half of

53:28

the season doesn't count. So it's just every

53:30

every Dinger after like July 4th. Who

53:33

do you think is going to be having a

53:35

big second half? Okay. So I

53:37

got one for you. First baseman, Ron

53:39

Mountcastle. He's. Nope. Nope.

53:43

He got dizzy last year. I had him on my team. He

53:45

couldn't stop getting dizzy. Oh no. He

53:48

seems to be over the vertigo. But

53:50

yeah, he does hit a lot of homers. So he's

53:53

been saving them. This is what he told me. He's

53:55

been saving them for the second half. Okay. And

53:58

I got him having a big second half. Okay, he

54:00

got over the vertigo. Yeah, I just

54:02

remember getting updates like every couple days

54:05

like Ryan Mountcastle still dizzy I was

54:07

like, god damn it. I drafted this

54:09

Ryan Mountcastle probable no longer dizzy. Yeah

54:11

All right, but I might give him

54:13

for this shot. I might give him

54:15

another shot. Yes, that's good one What

54:18

about what about Colton? Should we should we

54:20

look late round pick? Yeah I mean that's

54:22

go with go with what your heart tells

54:24

you. I mean, he's he's gonna get he's

54:26

a streaky home run hitter So he's gonna

54:28

give you at least a good

54:30

I would say he gets Close

54:33

to pretty close to 2025 homers this year. So Gonna

54:37

have a big big second half. Okay, I have

54:39

a question about your your actual owner Have you

54:41

seen his copy of the Magna Carta that he

54:43

owns? I have not did you know that he

54:45

owned the Magna Carta? I did not that is

54:47

news to me. That's that's pretty sick. That's like

54:49

the most baller thing you can do It's like

54:52

I I own the law that is freakin sweet

54:54

Yeah, would you have any problems playing for an

54:56

owner that that didn't own the Magna Carta?

55:00

I wouldn't say I have a problem with them

55:03

not having it, but it is pretty baller status.

55:05

Okay. I don't have it yet Yeah, yeah, can

55:07

we expect an a fully get it then we'll

55:09

talk can we expect full injury reports from you?

55:11

If we draft you to be on our team.

55:14

Yeah, I mean Alright

55:17

so Gunner we have Ebo

55:20

here who's a diehard Orioles fan. He

55:22

was not in the office when you

55:24

came in the office He's basically been

55:26

sad since so I said come in

55:28

here you get a question for Gunner.

55:30

So Ebo take it away What's

55:33

up Gunner? I just want to say first off you're the

55:35

man Nice nice question.

55:37

Yeah, you're the man I've

55:40

been following you since you were in Norfolk

55:42

and I've heard from some people in Norfolk

55:44

that you were you were the best Basketball

55:46

player in Major League Baseball. You were an

55:48

unbelievable basketball player Alabama State Player of the

55:50

Year Whoa, could you have gone D1 and

55:54

if you had gone D1, where would you have played Division one basketball? So

55:58

I would like to thank

56:00

just my competitive nature that I could have

56:02

on and played D1 basketball if I put

56:04

as much time and effort as I did

56:06

into baseball into basketball. So like I had

56:08

a really good chance of doing that and

56:11

being an Auburn fan, I would have loved to go

56:13

to the to the Auburn Tigers and play basketball there.

56:16

Okay. Bruce Pearl getting all sweaty. You got any other

56:18

questions for him? Can

56:20

you win MVP this year and can we win a

56:22

world series? Yeah, world series first and then maybe the

56:24

MVP will come with it. Good answer. We

56:26

also have Stephen Che in here. Has Stephen bothered

56:28

you at all because he has your number. Has

56:31

he, has he been okay with that? What's up buddy?

56:34

No, the, I think the last text we have

56:36

was when Tommy smokes got on, got onto me

56:38

and then Che had my back. Yeah. We, I

56:41

hit him in the balls for you. Yeah,

56:43

I did. I, I, I smacked him so

56:45

hard. Yeah. Yeah.

56:48

Cause that was bullshit. Tommy smokes said

56:50

he wanted Gunner writhing in pain. After

56:53

Aaron judge got hit. It's disgusting. Disgusting. We

56:55

don't root for injuries. No. And we root

56:57

for Gunner. Yep. Yeah. Okay. I have one

56:59

last question. I know you got a meeting

57:13

what, what does, what's a meeting

57:15

for a baseball player? So

57:18

this one is our hitters advance. We're about to go

57:20

over the pitcher. Kind of what he, what

57:22

his arsenal is, what he, what he tries to

57:24

throw and how it stacks up against the lefties

57:26

versus varieties and stuff and kind of get our

57:28

mind right. Ready for the game. Oh,

57:30

that's interesting. Yeah. I would have no idea

57:32

either. What a meeting would be. How long do

57:34

you watch filming that? Or is it just like

57:37

here are the numbers? Yeah. So we'll kind

57:39

of watch like how, how the pitches are

57:41

moving. And then, um, then we'll watch them. How

57:43

other hitters have had success off of aim.

57:45

And then, um, yeah, it only lasts bright

57:47

10 minutes, 10, 15 minutes. Okay. All right. Perfect.

57:49

Because I was going to say, um, when

57:52

we start the draft, whoever drafts you, I'll have Steven

57:55

Che give you a call so that person can invite

57:57

you to the team officially. Okay.

57:59

Well, Yeah, so within the next 30 to

58:01

45 minutes, it might be a BP, but

58:03

we'll wait. I'll make sure to return the

58:06

call. Yeah, yeah. Text when you're

58:08

out of BP. We'll wait and then we'll just we'll have

58:10

the person invite you to the team to

58:12

make it official. Okay. Okay.

58:15

Okay. You made a compelling case.

58:17

Yeah. Yeah.

58:20

No red flags, right? No red flags. No

58:22

red flags on this end. Well, just one

58:25

red flag. You somehow

58:28

like Steven Che. That's a

58:30

red flag. That's

58:33

a huge red flag. I do like Che,

58:35

but at the same time, I came

58:37

and last on the gauntlet because of the

58:39

sporkel. So then I was forced

58:41

my number. That's good though. That's good though.

58:43

I want my hitters dumb. I

58:47

don't want you overthinking anything. What was it?

58:49

Yeah. Was it vowels that tripped you up?

58:51

You didn't know what a vowel was? No, it was a lot of like

58:54

old 80s mafia movies. I

58:57

had, I didn't really have one

58:59

specific topic that I could just

59:01

reel off like five or six answers to get

59:03

me going. Yeah. Yeah. But

59:06

that's good. Yeah. It's Seaball

59:08

Hitball. That's Gunnar Henderson. Yeah, that's it. Let's

59:11

keep this simple. All right, Gunnar. Thank you so much.

59:13

And we'll let you know in a little bit who

59:15

has you on your team. Perfect.

59:17

1:00:00

the 2024 Dingers only league. We

1:00:05

are ready to draft. We are ready

1:00:07

to learn about baseball. Just

1:00:09

as a reminder for everyone, the

1:00:12

we do this when July 4th happens.

1:00:15

That's when baseball season starts for us. And

1:00:18

we are going to draft one

1:00:21

player from each position, including

1:00:23

DH. And the only

1:00:25

statistic is dingers, dingers.

1:00:28

It's the easiest, easiest fantasy

1:00:30

league to follow haters. The

1:00:32

start date will be July

1:00:35

4th, our nation's

1:00:37

Independence Day. And this year

1:00:40

we have very special

1:00:42

guests. We have Brandon

1:00:44

Walker and Jersey Jerry. Let's

1:00:46

go do this. Competing in the Dingers

1:00:49

only league. We also have Stephen Chays,

1:00:51

the commissioner, nerd on staff.

1:00:54

He's already asked me questions. Boys,

1:00:57

I'm already feeling I'm feeling great. I'm feeling

1:01:00

a slightly perturbed,

1:01:03

disturbed. You say why upset because

1:01:06

Hank stole my prep sheet before we

1:01:08

got started here. He's also stealing my

1:01:10

look wearing the sunglasses, which

1:01:12

I will note are not sponsored sunglasses.

1:01:14

They're all brand, which is interesting. I'm

1:01:16

wearing my Shady Rays, but that's not

1:01:18

a dirty move. They haven't even show

1:01:20

me sunglasses. Oh, you

1:01:22

took them off. I like taking the

1:01:25

sunglasses. Oh, no, no sunglasses

1:01:27

indoors. Guys, not a good look

1:01:29

right now. Doctor disrespect kind

1:01:31

of ruined it for everybody. Brandon, is your first time

1:01:33

on part of my take? This is my first time

1:01:35

ever on part of my show. Thank

1:01:37

you. That's I get to watch every fall

1:01:39

when you have just lesser college football guys

1:01:42

on your fucking show all the time. Now

1:01:45

I'm here. Who would be the lesser? Oh,

1:01:47

you know, no, I don't

1:01:49

fuck you for Nelly. Oh, no, for Nelly

1:01:51

can run. So fuck for Nelly. We're

1:01:55

here to kick you out of this league right now. We

1:01:57

think about that, Hank. Fuck for Nelly. taping

1:02:00

this early enough that we could AI Tom's

1:02:03

voice over everything Tom Brandon opens his mouth. That

1:02:05

doesn't seem right. I just got the invite. I

1:02:08

think, you know what, I like Fornelli's chances this

1:02:10

year for being the number one college football personality.

1:02:12

Yep. He had a really, really strong year last

1:02:14

year. No chance. Yeah. Can't go

1:02:17

back and back. I trust him. Jerry, how are

1:02:19

you feeling? Good. Punishment is? The same as last

1:02:21

year. It gets the same team? Yeah, I would

1:02:23

assume same team unless we, yeah, Northwestern can get

1:02:25

us. Yeah. But we're open to doing a UIC

1:02:28

again because they were so great to us. I

1:02:30

would like to have somebody, whoever loses, they should

1:02:32

have to step up to the plate and bat

1:02:34

a little bit next year too. Yeah. Well, I

1:02:36

think that I think we'll do. So I think

1:02:39

the punishment will be the same that it's the

1:02:41

loser of this league. We'll have to get six

1:02:43

outs against the college baseball team. I

1:02:46

also think that they didn't have to get an

1:02:48

additional three outs against the rest of this league.

1:02:51

I think that's fair. That's cool. So nine outs.

1:02:55

Yeah. Nine outs. This is a rip ass.

1:02:57

No, it's the chair. So six against the

1:02:59

college team and then a one inning against

1:03:01

all of us. Yes. What about Dan? What

1:03:03

about one hit against their team, the college

1:03:05

team gives a stand in the box? One

1:03:08

hit. Second place deal. Second

1:03:10

place has to stand in the box against one of

1:03:12

their pitchers. I like that. I'm gunning for second place.

1:03:14

Second. Oh, you're going to take them to the yard.

1:03:17

I mean that that that's how that

1:03:19

sounds like a, like a reward. Well, second place

1:03:21

should be kind of a, yeah. Second place sounds

1:03:23

fun to me. Yeah, it really does. Second place

1:03:25

gets a chance to, to bat, uh,

1:03:28

against their best pitcher. I

1:03:30

also think Mac should not be allowed to play

1:03:32

center field. He's too good. He

1:03:35

is pretty good. No, that's you were chasing

1:03:37

down his last. That was fun. That was

1:03:39

fun. Uh, and then fifth place has to

1:03:41

catch. Oh, yeah.

1:03:45

Deal. Fifth place has to catch. Didn't

1:03:47

that just volunteer to catch last time though? Well, we

1:03:49

thought it would be better for the video, but we

1:03:51

have six of

1:03:53

the most electric personalities in sports

1:03:55

entertainment here. Certainly the fine brand

1:03:58

name Walker. It's wonderful. I should

1:04:00

have known. I was counting Stephen Che. That was a big

1:04:02

mistake on my part. Gar

1:04:04

was down early. Ux legend. Didn't

1:04:07

let me finish. Nope. Okay,

1:04:09

so rules, very simple. Like I

1:04:11

said, dingers only. You have to

1:04:13

have one position, every single player,

1:04:17

including DH, so you're gonna get 10 guys on your

1:04:19

team, or no, nine guys on your team.

1:04:21

I'm an idiot, because pitchers don't hit anymore. There

1:04:24

also are a couple other rules we should say

1:04:26

right now. During the course

1:04:29

of the season, you get

1:04:31

one singular ad drop

1:04:34

for injury or pedophilia. Pedophilia

1:04:37

rule was because I had Wanda Franco on my team last

1:04:39

year and I dropped him, alleged. So

1:04:43

you get one. So you have two guys go out

1:04:45

for the year injured. You can't replace both of them.

1:04:49

Does sexual assault fall under pedophilia, or are you just out

1:04:51

of luck if that happens? I think we'll go case by

1:04:53

case basis. Also, you don't have to

1:04:55

drop them for pedophilia. Big

1:04:58

Cat decided last year to make a statement. If

1:05:00

you don't feel like, I

1:05:02

don't know if you're on that side of the fence, that's your

1:05:04

call. I let the record show I dropped him

1:05:06

before the raise did. You took the high ground. I

1:05:09

acted quick, swiftly. Big Cat sent

1:05:11

him right back to the minors. Yup. That's a

1:05:13

bad choice. Okay,

1:05:16

so, and the beauty of this

1:05:18

league is you don't have to update your roster. You

1:05:20

just literally draft it and then it just goes. So

1:05:23

it's nice. There's no maintenance. What

1:05:26

did we say about the injuries? It has to be

1:05:28

a season ending. Season ending, you're allowed to replace them.

1:05:30

Yeah. And then, only

1:05:34

one guy though. Yeah, just one

1:05:36

guy. Yeah. And so if you're injured for 15 days. No,

1:05:39

it doesn't matter. You could use your replacement there,

1:05:41

couldn't you? No. No.

1:05:45

No, as long as you replace them, the first guy's

1:05:47

gone, right? Season ending surgery, or season ending injuries. I

1:05:50

think we should replace them. But wouldn't it make sense if you did,

1:05:52

if you did 15 day DL, you could take

1:05:54

the risk, but then like

1:05:56

you don't get them back. I think

1:05:58

that has to factor into. calculus on who you

1:06:01

draft is you don't want a guy that's made

1:06:03

out of glass like I if Joel Embiid was

1:06:05

in this draft I would not take we're not

1:06:07

talking about basketball I'm not oh Max I wasn't

1:06:09

even you talk about basketball that was not about

1:06:11

you though I was barely about I was using

1:06:13

an example in baseball yeah and he

1:06:16

actually wasn't talking about basketball he happens to be

1:06:18

a basketball player who's just saying he's made a

1:06:20

glass he's a human being right first you

1:06:23

probably don't see it that way do you what are

1:06:25

you playing a game on your phone no I'm trying to

1:06:27

I'm worried about the whole list thing so I'm

1:06:29

trying to figure out an efficient way that

1:06:31

I that I can be organized right where

1:06:33

your finger fingernails painted backs we

1:06:36

can talk about that later okay so

1:06:39

Stephen if anyone drafts

1:06:41

a duplicate player or

1:06:44

a player who's already out for the year okay

1:06:48

or duplicate position their pick

1:06:51

automatically goes to the end of that round okay

1:06:54

Brandon but it

1:06:58

is the DH just somebody of a duplicate position

1:07:00

or does he have played position of DH that

1:07:03

was my question I

1:07:05

think that should be any position it should be anything

1:07:08

so I could draft to first baseman right flex from

1:07:11

no no it has to be a DH has to

1:07:13

be majority yeah it has to be a DH yeah

1:07:15

he could he could play a

1:07:17

couple like some DHS play a couple days

1:07:20

in the field a week but their majority

1:07:22

position has to be DH okay

1:07:25

I'm fine I hope place to get yeah this

1:07:27

is going exactly how it went last year which

1:07:29

is great I did assume you guys had everything

1:07:31

figured out when I got here no no I

1:07:33

just wanted to be a little

1:07:37

bit better than last year which is not a very

1:07:39

hard but hard bar to clear last year was a

1:07:41

debacle we we

1:07:44

basically did this entire league just so that

1:07:46

we could learn some names of baseball players

1:07:48

did it work yeah yeah

1:07:52

also what we did afterwards there's a way to set up

1:07:54

alerts on your phone so that when your guy hits a

1:07:56

home run you get a notification so I

1:07:58

don't know how to turn that off so I'm just gonna be

1:08:00

getting notifications from guys that were on my team from last

1:08:03

year Yeah, oh, I'm sorry. We

1:08:05

never got your same team. We never know you

1:08:07

lost Yeah, I came in last place But that's

1:08:09

only because I got fucked by your don Alvarez

1:08:11

and we had a great second half of the

1:08:13

season We had the dumbest rule last year where

1:08:15

we had hit by pitches is 10 points and

1:08:17

that screwed up everything cuz who ended up winning

1:08:20

Was it Max? Did you win in Shane won? I think

1:08:22

he had a guy get hit by a pitch like eight

1:08:25

days in a row Oh, I know I did end up

1:08:27

winning cuz my guy led the league and hit by pit

1:08:30

Was unbelievable. It just completely ruined the idea

1:08:32

of tingers only Okay,

1:08:34

so now we have to figure out draft order what

1:08:36

picture tiebreaker this year or no. Oh, yes. Yes Huh

1:08:40

there is good poor most strikeouts.

1:08:42

Yes. So after we have finished

1:08:44

drafting every position We will

1:08:46

then draft pitchers one

1:08:49

pitcher each that is solely for tiebreakers

1:08:51

and there'll be total strikeouts And

1:08:54

that strikeouts also includes what's already been

1:08:56

done. So you can just pick

1:08:59

whoever has the most right? Yeah, right now. Okay.

1:09:01

Yeah, and the only thing that matters is standings

1:09:03

at the end of the season. Correct? Okay, correct.

1:09:05

Correct Cool. Okay.

1:09:07

How should we do the draft order? We'll

1:09:10

right do we have a wheel to

1:09:13

say that can they do the wheel exists on this show?

1:09:15

I don't know. We've never had a wheel. Where's your ball

1:09:17

machine number generator? We could do

1:09:19

a number generator. We could do and do the Chicago dog

1:09:21

walk draft style I think of a number and you guys

1:09:23

all guess it. Oh, I like that or

1:09:25

we could you we could do jeopardy Look,

1:09:28

oh you can do that if you want. What's that? Oh,

1:09:30

it's the worst game ever. Well, yeah, let's do that Celebrity

1:09:34

or like actual jeopardy we do celebrity

1:09:36

guys. This could be ours Might

1:09:39

take a long time. Okay, so Stephen's gonna think

1:09:41

of a celebrity. Wait, which I am damn that

1:09:43

that only provides one winner I think I think

1:09:45

the winner should then just decide whether it goes

1:09:47

left or right if they yeah. Yeah It

1:09:51

doesn't jump around the room. It's a big circle.

1:09:53

Yeah, so we'll just get one winner The winner

1:09:55

can decide their own draft. What long is it?

1:09:57

Want? Not that long. I don't

1:09:59

know any celebrities I'm out. Oh, oh, you

1:10:01

gotta go. I'm just I'm trying to think

1:10:03

of for the sanctity of the listeners here

1:10:05

Oh, there's are fucking hanging out. It's July.

1:10:07

It's July 3rd. Yeah sit at the beach.

1:10:09

All right I don't want the boys were

1:10:11

chilling hanging having a good time Hank

1:10:14

is what are you doing? Hank? I'm

1:10:16

trying to figure out my list. You know, he's looking at

1:10:18

women on Twitter There's

1:10:22

a woman on the screen Okay,

1:10:24

so here's how this game works

1:10:27

Steven's gonna think of a celebrity We'll

1:10:30

start with Jerry and we'll go around the

1:10:32

room you guess you guess

1:10:34

a name and Steven says warmer

1:10:36

colder get it Whoever

1:10:39

gets it gets the first pick

1:10:42

What if the whoever gets it gets to pick the

1:10:44

the entire order? Yeah, no, they get to left or

1:10:46

right Oh, this is that part left or right unless

1:10:49

they don't want to go first. They also go wherever

1:10:51

they want We'll base it off like

1:10:53

if if I win and I'm like I

1:10:55

want to go third got it Jerry

1:10:57

goes first Brandon goes second I go third and then

1:10:59

we'll do that. So this isn't gonna mean anything Well,

1:11:02

no, it's chasing. Yeah, it does. No, but we

1:11:04

have to figure out who goes first. Yeah. Yeah.

1:11:06

All right Okay, you have your celebrity. Yes.

1:11:09

Okay, Jerry you start You

1:11:13

just guess person did no clue. No, I'll

1:11:15

say warmer colder and then we'll go clue

1:11:17

comes out You're

1:11:20

not gonna then you have to interpret his Very

1:11:24

cool Bob

1:11:28

Costas Hot

1:11:33

okay Al Michaels Similar

1:11:40

slightly slightly less slightly colder than

1:11:42

that. Okay, we colder than than

1:11:45

Al Michaels, but Bob Costas was

1:11:47

hot Yeah, he was real hot

1:11:51

Um Kin

1:11:54

Rosenthal colder

1:11:56

than okay. Yeah, we got colder. We got

1:11:58

colder Jim Nance hot

1:12:01

oh we're back to hot Scott

1:12:05

van Pelt very

1:12:08

hot oh boy oh

1:12:10

man Chris Berman hot

1:12:19

Linda cone slightly

1:12:21

colder than the rest but you're still

1:12:25

Scott Hanson hotter in

1:12:30

some ways slightly colder and

1:12:32

okay who's the hottest one

1:12:34

so far Chris Berman Chris

1:12:36

Berman and pelt no and

1:12:38

pelt that was Bob

1:12:42

lei still

1:12:45

very hot I'm such

1:12:47

a dismissive laugh yeah I know Ryan

1:12:52

Rossello slightly

1:12:54

colder but very hot still okay Stuart

1:12:58

Scott in

1:13:02

some ways very hot okay

1:13:04

in other ways sports entering

1:13:06

old or he's living was that a hell

1:13:08

joke okay I got mine all

1:13:10

right Stephen a Smith cooler

1:13:14

Dan Patrick here

1:13:17

that's the best guess so far that's the

1:13:19

best guess so far yeah he's

1:13:21

Olbermann and

1:13:24

the but you're still very hot rich eyes

1:13:26

and correct okay rich eyes and all right

1:13:28

so pft what what position would you like

1:13:30

to drive there's a lot of responsibility here

1:13:32

all the celebrities in the world he chose

1:13:34

rich eyes I had to pick I'd pick

1:13:37

someone I think everyone knows yeah this is

1:13:39

a snake trap by the way okay

1:13:42

you know what I

1:13:46

think I'm gonna go first okay and which

1:13:48

direction we're gonna go right okay great so

1:13:50

I'll go second third yeah

1:13:53

fourth fifth six Hank is six and

1:13:55

then it snakes back so

1:13:58

if you screw up You would go

1:14:00

in between the snake,

1:14:02

Steven. You get

1:14:04

it? No. If I screwed up

1:14:07

a pick and picked a duplicate, I

1:14:09

would go in between whatever snake, so it's

1:14:11

either, it would be between,

1:14:14

PFT's two picks or between Hank's two picks

1:14:16

because they're on the ends. Okay, got it.

1:14:18

Okay, PFT. I will say if someone is

1:14:20

out for the year, please let me know.

1:14:22

I don't know most of these guys. Okay.

1:14:25

Okay. One, one. Making

1:14:28

a big bet on this guy. Oh

1:14:30

boy. Shohei. Oh. Wow.

1:14:33

We're going Shohei right off the bat. Oh, wow.

1:14:35

So he cleared it all wrongdoing. I

1:14:38

conducted a lengthy background assessment on him.

1:14:40

I looked into all the forensic accounting.

1:14:42

I've determined that he definitely

1:14:44

bet on sports and baseball, but I don't

1:14:46

care. So he's on my

1:14:48

team. Okay. Seamhead Express. One. Good

1:14:51

pick. Oh, we should all have names for our team this

1:14:53

year too. Yeah, we should. We should come up with names.

1:14:56

Good, good pick. I

1:14:59

guess I have to go with Aaron Judge. That's a good

1:15:02

pick. Great pick, and great value. It'd be a shame if

1:15:04

you got it. It's a great value of two. Yes. That's

1:15:07

great value of two. So Otani is

1:15:09

a DH, right? Otani will be my

1:15:11

DH, yeah. Okay, I just want

1:15:14

to make sure that we- Got that? Yep.

1:15:17

Okay, Brandon? I'm going to go with

1:15:19

New York Met Pita Lanzo. Wow.

1:15:22

Chalk. Really easy guy to root for.

1:15:25

Is he a bad guy? No, he's just-

1:15:28

You guys said we were learning about folks. I don't-

1:15:30

Why's Max sitting like that? He always sits like that.

1:15:32

That is- In a chair, it's striking. Okay.

1:15:35

I'm just going to say right now, I had

1:15:37

Pita Lanzo as a fourth round

1:15:39

talent. That sucks. That's

1:15:41

so bad for you. That sucks. I had him

1:15:44

so far down. Currently has 16 home

1:15:46

runs. Yikes. This

1:15:48

is about their heart. Just about their heart and

1:15:51

how they're going to finish the season. Yep, I get it. Mm-hmm. I

1:15:54

will go with a third base and

1:15:56

I will go Jose Ramirez.

1:15:59

Nice. That's a great pick

1:16:01

Jerry. Thank you Jerry. I think you could use him

1:16:03

as your DH Which

1:16:05

might be harder to come by? But

1:16:07

I don't know I got some DHS. I'm gonna go with Bryce

1:16:11

Harper, okay at first base He's

1:16:13

gonna get hurt We're

1:16:16

just picking our own guy. Yeah pretty much yeah

1:16:21

I'm going to go with recurring

1:16:24

guest of the program Matt Olson,

1:16:26

okay plays

1:16:29

First base puts first right to

1:16:31

shore with the age That's

1:16:38

a great pick Maybe the

1:16:40

funnest guy in baseball to root for easy

1:16:42

easy one. Yeah, he's and that

1:16:45

sucks. That's a first rounder with

1:16:48

Second round you would have taken Harper if

1:16:50

I took shore bird. No Wait, no

1:16:53

you you got him in the

1:16:55

second round, but he's first round talent. Yeah,

1:16:57

okay Yeah now and and he's probably go

1:16:59

he well The only thing is he might

1:17:01

not play competitive baseball deep into September because

1:17:03

the Phillies will have the one seed wrapped

1:17:06

up That's true Okay,

1:17:09

go ahead wait I'll

1:17:13

take Gunner Henderson. Fuck.

1:17:15

I Didn't I don't

1:17:17

know how he lasted that long I was I was hoping

1:17:20

that PFT was gonna take judge and I was gonna take

1:17:22

Gunner But I had to he left me judge and I

1:17:24

had to take him. I Want

1:17:26

a Gunner should gunner slipped to the second round

1:17:28

for a short step off the board Damn,

1:17:31

that's a great pick max It's

1:17:34

a great pick. So it's on Jerry. It's

1:17:36

on me. Okay, I will go

1:17:40

Yordan Alvarez my

1:17:43

DH the H The

1:17:46

hurt bad. Okay, he's hurt. No that

1:17:48

hurt bad. Oh He

1:17:51

got hurt last year, okay, it's just looking at all

1:17:53

the dH's Also

1:17:56

something about a home run ball flying out in Houston

1:17:58

just looks cool doesn't It's a

1:18:00

great stadium, beheaded tatering. Okay.

1:18:06

Are we doing specific outfield positions or

1:18:08

is outfield? Outfield positions. I'm

1:18:11

gonna go with outfielder and somebody's

1:18:13

gonna have to tell me what position he plays, Juan

1:18:15

Soto. Right field. Pick. Good

1:18:18

pick. Can't believe he lasted that long. Can't

1:18:21

believe he lasted that long. Okay,

1:18:25

I will go. That

1:18:28

was a good pick. That was gonna be my pick. I'm

1:18:31

very upset about that pick. Well, Jerry took

1:18:33

my pick. He

1:18:35

did? Yeah. But

1:18:38

they're all good players. What are you guys colluding about? I

1:18:40

don't, I was asking what his first pick was because I'm

1:18:42

trying to keep track. Why is Max sitting like that? I

1:18:44

knew that. I

1:18:46

always said that. Wait, no it wasn't. That

1:18:49

was a lie. Soto,

1:18:53

okay. I

1:18:57

will go with DH

1:19:01

Marcelo Zunner. Oh, great. From

1:19:04

the Braves. Great pick Dan.

1:19:06

Thank you, thank you. Like

1:19:09

how my team's coming together right now. This

1:19:11

is some good podcasts. Yeah, it really is.

1:19:13

I need to know how we're gonna qualify

1:19:15

this guy. Mookie Betts. What

1:19:18

position? Where do you wanna go? I think he's right

1:19:20

field. Dodger. I

1:19:23

think he's. This is a Stephen Che question. Yeah,

1:19:25

Che, what is he gonna be? All

1:19:27

right, let me make an official ruling on this. Or

1:19:30

Shane. Just a Google Mookie Betts. Shane or memes.

1:19:32

You guys wanna. Oh my God. Yeah.

1:19:35

He plays right fielder, second base, and a short shot. Mr.

1:19:37

Posish. Well, which one has he played the most at? That's

1:19:41

a good question. I

1:19:44

know what I want Stephen to say, so I'm not gonna say.

1:19:46

I feel like Stephen should have had this information. Just pick one,

1:19:48

PFT. I'd like him to

1:19:50

be my second. No. Well, that's, he's the. I

1:19:53

think he plays second base that much. Yeah, he doesn't play. Short

1:19:56

stop by a lot. Okay, so it's a short

1:19:58

stop. I'll take him at short stop. Stop it's

1:20:00

good pick. Well, he could pick a show. He's out

1:20:02

for the year Mookie

1:20:06

pretty sure what I think he's out for the

1:20:08

year, but he's injured. But are you serious locked

1:20:10

him in? It's fine. He did lock him in.

1:20:12

Yeah. Yeah. Got some pick. He got smoked in

1:20:14

the hand Dodgers are proving they can say a

1:20:16

float without Mookie Well,

1:20:21

so PFT is at that so, you know to

1:20:23

see is he out for the year? No, no,

1:20:25

he's not out for the year Okay, he's fine Any

1:20:28

injury that's not out for the year that your pick stays

1:20:30

1:26:07

good guess. What? These

1:26:09

are bad names? No, I'm trying to figure

1:26:11

out what position everybody plays. He

1:26:14

plays center field. I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about the next

1:26:16

guy I pick. Okay, you got this Brandon.

be selecting second baseman Jordan Westberg

1:33:54

of the Baltimore Orioles nice We

1:33:56

see here Is

1:34:00

he one of the guys here? Yes, he's family and

1:34:02

he's former Mr. Pestick. What was his name? Jordan

1:34:04

Westberg. What does he

1:34:06

do? He plays second base for the Baltimore

1:34:08

Orioles. Second or third? He plays

1:34:11

second. Fair. Fair.

1:34:14

Ooh. Let

1:34:16

me get a ruling on that. You sure about that? Uh

1:34:18

oh. Yeah, I'd like to see a ruling. Okay. A

1:34:20

ruling for the commish. Now he's locked

1:34:23

in. It says second and third baseman. I will do

1:34:25

like I did for everyone else. I'll look at his

1:34:27

stats and see what he plays more of. Is

1:34:30

that fair? Do you feel good about this? We

1:34:32

were just, we just had a fist bump. I

1:34:34

know, I'm just saying. I had a question because

1:34:36

my list says something different. He plays way more

1:34:38

third base. Is that what you wanted or? I

1:34:41

already have a third base. Okay, so

1:34:44

I would rule that you cannot take him. So I'm

1:34:46

not taking him? Oh wait. Oh

1:34:49

wait. Third baseman, you took

1:34:51

Austin Riley. Correct. Yeah, you

1:34:53

cannot take him. Wait,

1:34:55

still Brandon. Okay, Brandon. I will take catcher

1:34:57

Cal Raleigh. That was

1:34:59

going to be my pick. Who has

1:35:01

T Oscar Hernandez? I do. Is

1:35:04

he hurt? No, I just, he is the Oscar. I didn't,

1:35:06

I didn't know if anyone, that

1:35:08

was a good way of me finding out. Okay.

1:35:11

I really wanted him. What

1:35:15

was that noise? That was me scratching off

1:35:17

Jordan Westberg, angrily. We can

1:35:19

note that everyone has a first baseman. Spacements

1:35:21

are done. That's interesting. I love that. That's

1:35:24

an interesting fact. Why do you love that?

1:35:26

Yes. Because we don't have to worry about

1:35:28

it anymore. Okay. Yeah, we don't

1:35:30

have to worry about that anymore. I

1:35:33

really was going to take Cal Raleigh and you

1:35:35

fucked me real bad. Jerry

1:35:38

fucked you by making a noise about Jordan Westberg.

1:35:41

Who is a second baseman? He

1:35:44

has played second base, but it looks like 80% of the

1:35:46

time he's at third. Tyler

1:35:49

O'Neill hasn't been taken, right? Not in this

1:35:51

draft. He has not. I'll take Tyler O'Neill.

1:35:54

Is that the guy who Dave texted me

1:35:56

and was like bet on him to hit the home run?

1:35:59

Oh. Mr. Opening day. Yeah, mr. Opening

1:36:02

1:36:20

I tried to throw the draft. I would not be this good Okay

1:36:27

1:36:30

have done more prep. Yeah, I

1:36:32

1:36:36

hurt position center

1:36:38

1:36:40
