Okay, let's go Welcome to part of my take presented by Draft Kings. The Crown is yours. todayoday is Monday, june twenty second and Wyndam Clark is about to open up some great PFD because he is the US open champion Second time major winner. two time US. open winner And people are mad. Bad night to be a grape on Long Island some mandatory grape coming from Wyndam, some statutory grape coming from Wyndham. after it was over the asked him. he's like, Ohh yeah, I'm going to open up all the grape tonight. Yeah, it was it was kind of crazy. He was I knew he was a villain. Yeah. Didn't know he was that much of a villain But he had to he had to battle against the course. He had to battle against the fans were like actively cheering for his shots to be bad, which listen I want to be really clear because I like it when that happens. Yeah. It's good that we have people like You know, breaching some of the finer rules of decorum for golf like being happy that somebody that you're rooting against hit a bad shot. I think that's fine. and people should be allowed to do it At some point today it felt like the crowd at Shinacock just was just they fucking hated the guy. And here's the thing. I I like hating sports is great That's what, you know, it fuels all of us if your guy can't win you know, you want you the guy you hate to lose and especially in golf when there's, you know, one hundred and fifty guys competing or whatever it may be The thing I don't understand and yes, we had Wyndham Clark on a couple of weeks ago. I liked him a lot. And this is and I don't know if we were obviously we made fun of the open up some grape. He he owned that and he's like, yeah, that's, you know, he had fun with us with that. I' I'm a casual golf fan in the fact I watch all the majors. I watch some of the other events, but I'm not like dialed in and being like, this is my guy and I'm looking at his, you know, swing speed, all this stuff Is the majority of it just that Windham Clark beat up that locker because that's part of it. but that feels like the majority of it because the locker And yes, I well I don't know. We never have asked what the locker said to him Well, what did the locker do in that situation? But I actually think the locker room is underreported because I saw the picture. The picture looks like two lockers were damaged. Yeah. He went on a locker damage spree. But I'm more saying this because I want If if you hate Windham Clark because he beat up a locker Fine I feel like there's got to be more. and maybe there is more There is and hopefully there is more because then I'll be like, you know what? great? You hate this guy and you should hate him. justust own it that you hate him Uh, but the locker thing I I feel like it that We want guys to show emotion. Yes, you should not beating up lockers, especially at the Hollowed grounds of Okemont, But respect of course. think like's locker room You know, these athletes are all psychos. You don't get to the level of success that he's gotten to without being somewhat of a psycho I kind of like when guys show their their're faults and maybe part of it is that he doesn't didn't immediately say, sorry. I get that too Yeah, I have no problem with Winham Clark and I enjoyed watching him kind of play the heel and watching everyone boo him and there was that one I think it was like somewhere around eight or nine where it was crazy. He was hitting putts and just no one was clapping. There was one audible just one guy just went. Boo Yeah. I love that. That was hilarious. Like he just Boo is great the the get in the bunker. Yeah. those are good too. So Bon, I'm glad you asked about his missteps because like you, I wondered like Wh whyy do they hate him this much? Because it was a type of like animosity that I can only remember for like Patrick Reid. And I also should say if if part of your reason for hating Wyndam Clark today was because he was running away with it, I agree with. Yeah. I do like to see You want to see a competitive tournament when the day started, he was up six. you don't you want we want especially with only four majors, you want to see Sunday have fireworks and there kind of was. like there was moments that were were high intensity moments that he fell back to the pack. So go ahead. Okay. So yeah, it wasn't just damaging the locker. It was damaging two lockers. Okay a serial locker damager There was also he took out a T mobile sign. Y on a te boox a year ago So he disrespected TMobile a great sponsor of the PGA tour in that tournament. Let's not forget about the T Mbile sign. And then after the matches part three tournament. SVP asked him what it was like being out there with all the kids running around. Yeah I saw that hisis answer was U Yeahah, you know, it was a great time. alsoso a great form of birth control to be out there. He made a joke, and guess what? I've said that exact same thing about going to the airport ank makes that joke all the time. When you go to the airport and it's all families that are that are running right, that will make you want to have a kid never in your entire life. It's like, I'm pulling out from now on. So that those are the big three. thoseose are the big three things that he's done. Can I just say off of that because I saw that one guy be like, Hy guy. Happy Father's Day. He made this joke. Bad guy. There's no worse discourse online than the both sides of this than the people are like If you don't have kids, you're a scumbag and the people are like, if you have kids, you're a loser. You't have like why why would you do that to your free time Everyone just makes their own like live and let live, makeake your decisions. fine. So Winham Clark making that joke meant if you're offended by that, you're fucking losing You're doork. You're door. So time. Now I noticed you did kind of gloss over the T moobile sign incident. Yeah, see, listen, Listen, has T Mobile ever been a sponsor of our? Noope So no, fuck them He didn't apologize? Yeah. TMobileign deserved it. Now. If that were a Vorizon sign, I'd say P put him in jail Are there worse Reases or Mountain doew, execute him I think the fuck out of here. I think a majority of it was deleed. I Yeah, I' fine with that. I wasoting like I liked him on the show. I like was I was happy he won but going into the day. I was like, I hope he falters early and it gets close. Nothing against Windham, but it's like I think that was the biggest thing. I think if you're going to Chinnacok on Sunday for a major You wanted to be close. So you, I think yeah, anyone besides like a fan favorite, even Scotie, I think if Scotty was up eight. People would not be like cheering for him. They'd be kind of hoping that, you know, things go south a little bit. You also forgot one other thing. What's that which I somehow gotten a rabbitole because people didn't like LA countountry Club and that US open and he won that US open. they hated him from that too. Okay. one I was a deep cut. That's a great one. Yeah. I actually really like that one a lot because he just he reminds you of a tournament that you hated. That's perfectly legit.. we say you ra the hate. Yeah I would even say like when Hank was getting at I think it had more to do with the fact that he had that big lead and then Scottty was the guy that was like maybe he'll catch up to him. And I do think they would have rooted for Scottty if he had a big lead. because that seemed like it was they could have seen likeike a moment history that Yeah S sky's in the guy get territory. He gets the career Grand slam on his birthday on Father's Day if he wins I feel like that's That's what people really want to see out their Sunday and Wyndham happen to be standing in between them and history. Yeah But listen also they just didn't like one. They don't which is fine. Yeah. But I think if you had a one shot lead lead, it would not have been as I don't know maybe Maybe if he was in the because he was in the same group of Scotty. Yeahah, but like I think if he was had a one shot lead and he was from the final group with like Brian Harman I No one would no one would be cheering that hard. It was also weird vibes all weekend because we had on Saturday the people were max because he got he got the weather luck too He got the weather luck, which we're going to talk to Max about a lot of this, but the weather luck people, I don't understand. he played with a bunch of people who had the same weather luck And then I think he shot. I think I think it was Sat Friday or Saturday. I think he had the second best round on the day. Yeah. So it's like he got he yes, he got a little bit of weather luck, but then he held a lead and Saturday was weird because The last train is at six PM. They teed off at three forty five PM Eastern, which was like crazy late it felt like. Yeah. and the vibes. When Winham Clark was walking up, There was like no one there. It looked like a practice round. It was just weird And I, you know, Shinacock is a fun place for the US openpen to be, but that one was weird. And then the combination. I mean, I enjoyed Sunday just because I've never seen I've never seen a gallery be like that just openly root against an American in the U. S. open the way they did and not like I'm saying it's not like they were just rooting for Scottty. They were rooting hard against Windndham, which made it fun and credit to Windham. Yeah. He's stronger than his his mental health coach. And you see his mental health coach had to leave the she had to go inside. Yeah. How do you How do you do that if you're a mentalalth coach? Because if you're mental you have to stand there and take it with it. That's As a mental health coach, you're nervous that you haven't done your job. and it's like when if I'm driving my El Camino and I'm taking it up a big hill, I want to leave. I want to get the fuck out because this thing is broken down before. I don't know. I think you're going to sit out there and just take it and hear it all So that you can then when you have the conversation with him after be like, yeah, I heard that guy boo. I heard that guy say get in the bunker She ran away from the fire. There's a burning building going on at Chhinocock and she went inside to to get some like tuna salad and some peanut. I think she was just like, I don't know if I've done enough to prepare my client for this occasion. I don't I don't want to be around a case of meltown. It's funny that going into it When we were talking last week with Shane Bacon and he was saying that he thinks that guys that Um, are like the mentally most mentally tough, the ones that are are calmest in the face of adversity have the best shot at winning this tournament. I actually think it might have been the exact opposite where a guy like Wndham who's used to dealing with frustration, like being outwardly angry They were they were born into that darkness. Yeah. The other golfers merely inherited it this week at Chhinacock when the course is fucking with you so bad. it makes everybody kind of play on that edge where they they feel like they're going to throw a club Windam wass used to having that feeling And he knows how to channel it better than everybody else. So he strangely was able to play more calmly than some of the other guys. He So I mean, he and he was he deserved this. he the sixteenth hole both Saturday and Sunday, the the Eagle shot on sixteen on Saturday was incredible and then getting out of the rough and birding sixteen on Sunday. That was the that was the championship poole for him And yeah, I mean, I enjoyed watching it, but man It was they were ejecting fs, which I also am against that You should let the fans be as long as they don't cross a line. they say get in a bunker or they boo you Fans should get to be able to do that. That's fine. Yeah. There was one guy that got kicked out. Also they can't it might have been Billy football. Yeah. I saw that one I saw that guy. It might have been Billy and I don't know what Billy said if that was him Yeah, but I stand for his right to freedom of speech. It also Shinnacock really couldn't afford to lose more fans. Like they should not have been kicking people out Be there was a moment like the grandsidons were empty on Saturday. It was nuts and had to be eerie to play in that. This is a pretty good quote, I thought from Wndham after it was over. He said, it's pretty rare to have fans cheer for bad shots. That was tough, but some of it is self deserved. I kind of brought it on myself. Yeah. He gets and he's like, I guess I'll be the heel if they want me to be the heel. But I think what he's done by saying I'll be the heel I kind of deserve to be the heel He's probably made a lot of people not want him to be the heel anymore. Yeah. Well, this actually weirdly was great PR for Wyndam because he stood in the face of everyone hating him bothoth online and in person and then won the tournament And if you if you were a hater of the LACC one, it's like you won just w Chincock R. And he didn't he didn't ask for anyone to get ejected He didn't freak out at anyone. So he he had a great day PR wise and now. Al his dad, his dad took a red eye Yeah Yeah to surprise him on the eighteenth de screen after that was. That's that's what it's about. There what li on the line. What did Yeah What lead did his dad like If you if Winam was up one would his dad have taken that? I mean six six stroke lead on Sunday. Yeah, I don't know. So his dad was waiting on Saturday too though. He could have came on Yeah like dude, come Friday night. Like as a as a surprise L him the eighteenth green and it's like what would have what would have happened if he had boggeed eighteen Would his dad have been like, Hey, son, I just saw that I was Pretty disappoint Good luck in the playoff. Everyone would have been rooting for Yeah I mean, everyone was rooting for Sam Burns. They were just hopping around from golfer to golfer. Tom Kim had a moment where was like, this is Tom Kim It was very funny to watch. Yeah That was a cool moment though when when he saw his dad for the first time after like he had All of his bros were at the tournament today. Oh ye how many bros Wyndham has, but it's got to set a record. Well, we on the broadcast, we talk to everyone who ever has talked to Windham. Did you see that one segment where they had a swing coach on That was weird. Yeah. I didn't need that so bizarre. Yeah. It' just like he was sitting in Colorado J been like, yeah, we worked on his his swing and we got it better I was like, okay, now back to the US open. Scottty Scheler is about to be a putting. Heank, can you describe to me why people are upset about the weatheruck on Thursday? I think because the the USGA had forecasted it to be a lot worse. so they made the course easier because they thought that everyone playing on Thursday was going to have really bad weather. And then because of the delay, the people in the afternoon did not have bad weather and they got the easy conditions. So it was kind of like people thought it was unfair like Pcat's point there was You know, the people in Windndham's group all played well on Thursday and they did not play well on Friday and Windndham did. So You know, it was weatherlock, but he made the most of it. Why? Why did they delay it What was the fog delay Oh the fog delay. the fog delay pushed the people in the afternoon back. Yeah, what was the? I mean, Wyndham was what? six under? Was there There weren't a lot of guys who like ripped up the course. Dustin Johnson was playing with them and but he also like kind of faltered at the end of the day Thursday and then he like fell apart right at the fell apart early morning Friday at the end of the first round and then he fellpart in the second round too or could not fell apart. but like he at one point was right there with with Windndam Clark. they were tearing it up And then they fell off. Matt Fitzpatrick was tearing it up Thursday afternoon. kindind of fell off. Yeah, it's a four round tournament. I mean, that was Winham Clark didn't have I mean, today was his worst round, right? Yeah like so Yeah on on on Saturday, he was He was he had the third best score I also think people were mad because they were like,h, it's Chinar, people are supposed to be under par. And Like Max was or I guess like Max will say like the by the end of the tournament, there was what three people So three guys per people were bitching on Thursday because they thought like, oh, they made the course easier. everyveryone's just going to, you know, run away with it. But that's not what happened. I didn't I didn't care for the fog delay on Thursday. I think you got to play through the fog. Yeah gotta play through Yeah We're doing load management for courses now too Yeah, you got to play You got to play through a little fog. It's a cloud. You can are golfers is soft that they can't play with clouds. You got to be able play with So he is now in pretty pretty crazy company. So since two thousand multiple US open winners Tyer Woods has three Bryson to Brooks to Rif Gooseon to Winham Clark to I I keep going back to the LA country That's so funny. The L.A countountry Clubs like Yeah, he won that one and we hated that one. Everyone associated with that So mad about that one. I don't know. I listen I also will hand up And I think The majority of our fans are probably of the AWs are probably in this camp of like L golf love the majors, not tuned in all the time. There are some die hard golf fans for the die hard golf fans. I understand your gripes. You look at the sport differently than we do. I get it. We look at football probably differently than you do What he did to that Oakmont locker room is probably a bridge too far and you can never come back from it Uh I get it. and the team open Oakmont like that's hollow ground. You can't I would like to know if it was So it's two lockers, but was it one locker in a ricochet shot or did he go after both lockers? Well, what it looks like to me is one locker, it's one locker that's damaged and then a locker that appears to be fine and then Another damage might on the other side both. So look, he might have skipped one it's like the Grim Reaper mee except he skips one. Yeah. scroll down just a little bit Max. it's that There see it. Okay. So what why didn't he attack the one wasas that his locker? You see, that's the thing though Matt Jones our good friend Matt Jones said, whyy do people hate him? And then one of the first replies is because he did this the historic locker room in Oakmont. Again. if that's really what If that's the genesis of your hate Yeah A locker that probably got fixed for like a couple hundred bucks. And I think I saw a story too that Oakmont paid for Yeah, he paid for it. Oakmont members. They didn't get it fix right away because they liked showing off. Yeah being like, here's Wndemam Clark L. Of course they do. How are lockers carrying this much weight? gof If Tiger Woods was in the final today, people would be going crazy for him. Well, I mean, what a story of redemption that would be. Yeah If Tiger was here, take it He's never he's never broken a locker as far as I know. Yes. sayay what you want sure. But that's not inside the locker room. I think that's if Tiger Woods flipped the car inside the Oakmont locker room, then he'd have some problems. I think that they'd just probably leave the buick in there. What if what if it hit become the locker though? No, they'd be like, this is the nineteenth hole now. Are lockers at big time golf courses the most protected things in the world big deal This is the stupidest shit of all time Dude, you don't I don't I don't under the locker all You don't do that at Oakmont with the locker. Who gives a fuck? Like it's not even the course. I could understand if he like took a divot out of the green or something. It's the fucking locker room. Everyone is upset about. No one's been in this locker room is upset about it. Pople shit in there People are wal old dudes are naked walking around powdering their balls and taking dumps like twentyw feet from this locker And it's basically the sistine chap. My problem is the locker doesn't even look that nice No, Iom That's terrible. That like that room. Come on Wha, whoa whoa who' like a fucking wa whoa, whoa whoa whoa lookook do a reverse image search on those lockers. I w to know how much those he must have done dozens of dollars worth of. No, I'm f I fuck I'm actually heated about this locker. I hate this locker. This locker I'm going all the other way. Also if anybody that works at Oakmont knows what they did with the locker panels after the us open. I would we want we would be very We wt hang them as banners. We will purchase them Hank, you you you are a member at a country club. You think this is This is a situation where like you just can't go after a locker. Hank doesn't have a locker room Yeah we doing? No. there hasn't been a locker. They've been renovating it for the last three years. Tw years. But you just can't be doing this at all No, I would definitely be on the like keep the locker so you can show it off. I would like that would be awesome. Yeah. I would that would be like E person that comes in there, you'd be like, oh, that's the Wndham Clarkwalker. I like I don't, I would never be upset about it. I kind of want to for March Madness. rememember that one year we did the break room? I kind of want to recreate the Oakmont lockers and have them right outside the gambling cage. So if you have a bad beat, you can just fucking take a nine iron to What about the youngsters that are watching at home? and they they see us destroy lockerom and they're like, oh maybe that's cool thing to do now. I have one hundred percent punched those lockers outside of that I know. need Yeah one hundred percent. And that's why people hate you There You disrespected the. I disrespect no arceals for no mockers. I think we had a movie on our hands. The Oakmont lockers get like reanimated. Have they come back to life? Yeah, like It's like beauty and the Beast. The lockers are talking Why' you hit me? Wh'd you? Why'd you hit me? Why's I got keep taking dumps? mister Clark, why hitatch aad? All right, this is the O lockerom. face. Oh my God. The locker room time forgot. It's a fucking locker room So they're just an update They did't feel like putting money into renovating it unlike There's going to be some golf fans that are mad at us for this because they they take Okemark locker room is a very serious place It's The history And guess what? That's just one more thing history that happened in that locker room. Oh did did the did the Phil tracker comment about the Oakmont L lockers, 'use that'd be great. I'm not Phil tracker came out and said he'd defend Pil no matter what. No matter what happens.atter what happens. What what are the the top ranked Wyndham Clark trackers H. Is there like one that everybody goes to? Also, can you maybe search what are the what are the top lockers? because I kind of want Windndham Clark to take to go after another locker You don't hear about the Augusta locker road Is Oakwant just the number one locker room How How have we put a locker room this much on a pedestal? You know what else I noticed this weekend a lot more of the people at home taking videos of their TV's and being like, how is this not a penalty? Oh yeah. Oh yeah because some grass. Yeah, he moves. Well it was it was dead grass. But I see I love move. Yeah, I love those people because they pluck the grass. They they are They're taking matters into their own hands. They hate Winham Clark so much. I like I'm gonna get him busted. So I salute those people. benches in Okeman's loock Rumor as old as the club itself and pock marked by decades of metal spikes. Okay, but that's not what he too he didn't touch the benches. The footprints of legends like Bobby Jones Arnold Palmer, Jack shit Tigerood are tied directly to these changing areas. Jack Nicholas put this is where Jack Nicholas' buttole was Max brought up a good point. It's it's totally it's like I'm try to think of analogy for like Like like if you did something to the Ivy at Wrigley or or the green monster, like that's part of the actual field. Like if you went out to Oakmont and just tore up one of the greens, I would be like, that's fucking crazy If you if you broke a locker at Wriiggly, who cares? Yeah anny Rirez used to wipe his butt with with hand towels and then try to flush him down the toilet and start floods This is wind to being. Oh look at this Milwaukee countountry Club. Now that's a locker that I'd like to take fucking go Hammon start The fact that Glf d just even has an article for the twenty five most historic locker rooms in Glf. L I feel like Hank you We're kind of attacking your culture a little bit Yeah. stand out for the lockers, dude. I mean, a cool locker room is like one going to a nice course and like being in a cool locker room is a great experience. Right But yeah. I agree I agree being in a cool locker room is a cool experience, but like would you Would you basically be like, I'm never, I hate that person for life if they if they d into the locker room? No. This locker room looks cool. Seminle golf club looks. All right. So Winndam Clark if you touch seminal this golf club. That's our one that's our no Our no fly zone. You cannot If you ever damage that one we' done with you sacred cow. This one look This one looks cool. looks like a place I wouldd like to hang out at. Yeah that doesn drink a beer. Yeah. Yeah. there's one there's that bar the back there in the back. Wh you should stay in the parking lot We're not all out in your. Oh, that was rude. attacking your actuallyually Hanks wellank It's the funniest is Hank like having to speak definitively on locker room culture when that's been the defining thing of his club for the last like two years, whichich is great. renovated something? Yeah. I actually know. Maybe Winham Clark was just helping start maybe you should bring him in. Yeah. Yeahah, he'll be your demo guy. That was first thing I said when I walked in there, I was like that club house looks like it's awesome apparently it was only soft open Where iss the heart open I said this dont insspections dude, I don't know. not I'm the contractor. I did get a chance to go into it like the first time we ever played there. and it's a nice lock room. That's why I miss it so much. Yeah.ver. Funat Keith Mitchell He's the only player in U. S. open history to shoot seventy, seventy, seventy, seventy. O all four included including on Thursday going forty one, twenty nine. forty one twenty nine on Thursday And then we also had u, Joaquin Nean who had a two stroke penalty for throwing his club. This is bullshit. This is live, this is live anti liiv. Oh was it? Yeah So he actually end up playing really well. He lit it up. He could have w He. I don't know if he could have won, but he he he was seven over on one hole and he lost by seven It was only a two stroke penalty. Yeah he would had on He would have finished but. He would have finished a tie for third. he finished seven He would have finished for a tiepe for third if he didn't get a two stroke penalty. but afterwards, no video this is it's like the Des Bryan tapes Oh okay like where where where are these How does no one have a video of this? And also people throw clubs. Yeah. like If that was a tried and true rule, like throw a club two shot penalty Sure People throw clubs or golf purists And they and they just decided like this was the one that we're going to give them a two shot penalty. Yeah. I heard that it was a reckless throw he And there were multiple people that were on the scene that confirmed, yes, this is the definition of a two stuke penalty. Did didid he roll a twenty sideed dice to see if he could go reckless first? I did not I did not check up on whether or not D and D was used as a possible negotiating Every time the word reckless is said, I'm just thinking of Tim Woods being like, wouldould you like to go reckless? Of course And the answer is always yes. By the way, july third Our next Dungeon and Dragons episode very, very good. So Hank are you saying just because there's no video evidence so it didn't happen No, I just it just, you know, you see people throw clubs. like that's a common thing. You'll see the PJ Tour post the videos. I think Max came on the think I think Max was on the show talk about like being anti club thr through a club like a few weeks later And like the PJ Tour will promote it and they'll be like, Oh, you know, angry club throw. Look at this club throw No two shot penalties. And so the fact that this was a two shot penalty was so egregious yet somehow some way In today's day and age, there's no video anywhere makes you think. And it's a live guy Really makes you think. I mean, it could be dangerous. There could have been a locker nearby. Yeah, that the club hit. What So also they wouldn't let give him relief from fire ants, no respect. Oh yeah, that's right Then he tried to invoke the Bryson rule. And he was like there's a dangerous animal nearbyall and they're like walking in please don' donon't make us That doesn't sound like I you. He was going They were going after the li. But I think his team, I think Gabby Gabby Herzig is her name that reported it and like I guess his team was like going after her on the range being like this is bullshit and she wass like, Are you denying it? like they weren't dying it. They were just like m for reporting it. Well, he was asked afterwards after he finished the tournament on Sunday Are you thinking if that one hole didn't happen, you get those seven shots back you'd have a chance to win. he said, if my grandmother had tires she' be a car light answer. Yeahah. That's a great anser. Is that how it? Yeah. my ball should be l. Yeah. Yeah, that one works too. Rember he's right. Yeah His grandmother had she be a car. Yeah, she' be a car That's how it work. Anything with tires. Well She'd be a motorcycle if she had two tires O a unicycle? She' be red pand. I assumed the tires would be both her legs. so she'd be more of a motorcycle. So Neiman should be actually we should just ass some more penaltty. That would just be roller skates in that case. Giant roller skates. So Hank did he Did he admit to throwing the club Yes. And what are what are Liv's rules against that I don't know if this happened on the live tour They should market themselves like this is where the tour that allows you to throw clubves..

It was picture perfect scene in Seattle. Awesome Uh, just the whole vibes, the stadium. U Everything rocked And we're the best. we're the best. We're the best in the world until someone tells me differently until we lose We've I think that was the first time ever we've won two games in a row in the W Cup. that Sounds I think you think I saw that That could be right. So we're the best ever. That could possibly be right. I'm actually getting we might be the point. I'm getting to the point now PFT where people are doing like power rankings of what they've seen so far. And if we're not top ten I getting You're getting mad. Yeah get fucking you should be mad because I did see one article. I think like it was in the athletic And they had us still at number seventeen for No' taking it seriously. It's like that's some bullshit. I think you have to start taking it seriously because what we saw on Friday We played a really good game and we dominated without our best player And that's hard to do, especially at the World Cup. We've seen like all the ties that you could ever hope for some very lopsided like in terms of skill contests that end up closer than they should be. And we just dominated. We just said fuck you We're going to play our style of soccer. I thought that like The the counter pressing that we did was amazing again We got a really good coach and we have a kick ass. I know. And I like I like his his fits. He dominated the Australian coach looked like he was catering a wedding He was like an all black with a tie dress for his own funeral. But yeah, you're right, like pulsit being out. Most teams Uh, having to go to your backup like Look what happened to Portugal. They're playing a backup in Ronaldo and it's not going well right Exactly. So when you when you hope you're not playing ten on eleven, we were not in that case. Yeah. I thought ax playing his backup glasses tonight. Yeah. Yeah He's Sometimes your best game's your next game. He's got next game coming out. Yeah. And so this is this is where it gets interesting because we just won our group So fuck you rest of the world we're in charge. By the way, the newrou suck The new rules for how to win a group s What do you mean So They basically eliminated these third games meaning anything for half of the groups and it sucks. So it's now the head to head is now the tiebreaker, not total rolls It used to be total goals. So you would have like going into this third game you'd have I'm not complaining that we want our group. That's awesome going to this third game, you would still have to play and like Australia if they went fucking nuts and they scored a shitload of goals and won their game. they could win the group. Now you have like Mexico is not going to have to play anyone US isn't going have to play anyone. we can sit everyone who's got a yellow card. like There's only so many World Cup games and they basically with this new head to head rule, they've eliminated probably, I don't know, six games that just will have no meaning whatsoever. Yeah, I don't know how many are going to be are going to like fall into that category, but that does thinkink. I do I like the fact that they change the rule about the yellow cards though. So the yellow cards are going to reset after the group stage So right you a second yellow card in the opening knockout game and you were sitting on a yellow. then you're not going to be suspended for the next game. No, you can still be suspended. The yellow cards reset after the group stage. That's what I said. Yeah you were your guys right now. So if you were sitting on a yellow at the end of the group stage and you got one knockout stage. But we have to sit our guys right yellows because you don't want them to have be suspended for the next rightight because then if they got that second yellow in the last game then it would impact. But yeah, they do reset at the end of the group stage, which I think is a really good rule But I yeah I'm looking at who we might be playing. And the stats about Um We're going off probability The first the first two games should be winnable veryy winnable for us. the bracket might be breaking out to be the most friendly that it possibly could which scares me just a little bit that everything's kind of falling into line too perfectly. It looks like we'd be playing Bosnia. This graphic is ridiculous because this graphic was posted before half of the groups even played their second game. Yeah but I love it. Right now it's Bosnia or Qatar would be the two teams that were Proably going to play in the first round And then after that, it's like everything's very much up in the air. So we don't we don't really know, but it could be It's looking like it would be one of the more winable paths to the finnel four which would be pretty incredible for us to do. Yeah would Pank, didid you enjoy the game I'm sorry that US won No, it's a good game. happappy. I'm happy for the fans, happppy for you guys. The country roads, like the I gone I don't I like the support for our country goodood. People want to pretend to be big soccer people go for it. You are so mad do whatever they want I mean, just if I'm if I was going to be a hater though. Yeahah We didn't even qualify for this tournament. Yeah Yeah. You don't have to we know. Yeah Yeah, we hope. So we got a cookie cutter. We just got like a charity a charity like entry and then they gave us a charity group So obviously we won our group because they was set up for us to win our group. How I've been telling you that FIFA is the most blatantly corrupt rig organization in the world for the last four years. Of course we got a sweet group. They take care of the hostry qualify. L we earned it. mayaybe I can get, but it's like we're Oh, you're going to get it's cook it's c I mean we would have madeall cup you w want a Tball game. It's a a home run in tball. It's an expanded field. Everybody made the World Cup this year. What except for Italy What were you more mad about? We more mad that we won and everyone's pumped We love our country except you And we had a great time on Friday Or you more mad that when you looked at the bracket and you couldn't find the Dominican, you're like, well, now I don't have a team Yeah, I mean, it would it would be electrical Dominican m. I I got Kpe Bird though. I'm I'm a I'm a Cpe Birdian for this for this worldorld Cup. He Hank tried to accuse us of gaslighting him into say when when I think we were both tweeting during the game being like Hank's got to hate this. right now He's like You guys are gaslighting into being anti American. I anti c. I would maybe buy that argument if we don't have literally an example of three months ago, you rooting against our country in an international competition? No. I was just it was rooting for the Dominican and then we ended up playing them So Hank, I know that you like if we play Kpe Bird, we have it's over. You had I mean, you had a lot of respect the other day for Bosnian what you call them Bosnian and Herzen Goda, whatever Yeah. trying to explain to Hank why there was a country that had the word and in their name was it was tough to do that. Well, you just said Bosnia. You didn't give them the respect of saying their last name. Bn say their Bosnia and Herzike you like my point was exactly proven by you when you just go right now it's matched up. We're going to play Bosnia If that's the answer, why don't like why do they have two names if you're not to say him? Why did you say the other nam was fair point by Hank. we have fairair point Hank Hank got one point. We have to play Bosnia and Herzegovinia. We're the only team that might play two opponents Dick, go USA. That's no, you don't mean that. You don't mean that at all. I feel like Hank, you should It would do you a lot of good if you'd just enlist in the military for a little bit Justs get some patriotism worked in there The countountry Roads was one hundred Roads. I watched that twenty times and I actually got Like years in my thing about soccer in America is like we've got a lot of people trying to figure out how we can adapt our culture into fitting in with European soccer and take on some of their traditions, but Americanize them. We've got the best sports traditions in the world right here in the United States. Just do those. Yeah. the in the hydration break, second half I wouldn't mind hearing renegade. No, it's it's the truth. It is a the part of the reason why the Hanks of the world can't get into soccer is and I'm going to defend you here Hank U when you see I feel like the sport. Well, I know, but when you see on social media or, you know, before a game bunch of dorks and scarves trying to copy a European country' like Chance, It's stupid. You know what we should do? We should do a fucking penn state Whiteout Okay, That's what we should do. We should play neck We have all these things that we are dominant in. We should you know, I'll even say this. this is fucking nuts We should put the Dorks and the Cameron crazies right on the sideline and have them just breathing down the neck of someone trying to do a throw in. get all the get all our tradition get all. Have have the Ravens fans walk up with their cameo pants? Yeah. like really dive into everything that because we do have a lot of great fan, but LSU neck would be a perfect example Put a marching band in the crowd. playlay turn all the lights off in the stadium before the gamees kicks off And then blast Inner Sandman. Yeah. stop trying to make songs happen that we can't do becausecause Guess what A bunch of drunk dudes in England are better at picking like a seventies rock song and then and then and then rhyming their favorite player with that song. They're just good at it. They just naturally have it. You know we have, we have the fucking black hole Get the get the Raiders gorilla behind the net. Boltman bring their face know their players' names That we don't have that going for us What Iss being like fake fans. I mean, the what what's over seventy percent of, you know, the people that are like USA USA let's go USA soccer Three players, four players, maybe you know three things, you know red, white and blue, just root for fuck.. That's all you do.s. Those are the only three things you need. That's what I'm saying, like songs have never happen. What stats are you are you getting these from Where did you see? So seventy percent of US soccer fans can't name three players Probably more. I think you're also basing a lot of this on our office, which is yes, one of the dumbest offices in the world million percent. Chhaps proves that to be true almost daily when he gives us questions and people can't fucking name the state of like they can't they can't recognize Missouri let alone another country million million percent Hanks basing this off of three guys that he's upset with I mean, is soccer big than you am I crazy? Its It's a World Cup It's in our we're playing the World Cup on the two hundred fiftieth anniversary of our country O our soil and we're the best. And it is the most popular sport in the world That that I believe A The other game has been pretty cool That's some good ties Good ties. Brazil finally woke up. Um was he Oh o Netherlands just Absolutely Is it What's it are we is it Holland? is it Netherlands, which one is? They're the Dutch. Okay. I like him Fast Yeah Oh, do you like Holland Yeah. Yeah. ye for Norway. That's not that's the Netherlands. You just said Holland. in countryall in the country shot. Yeah. Norway on first. Norway is what the guy from Australia said when he scored that own goal. Norway The u and then ye Yamal made his debut. for Spain. He's so good. He's awesome And you should get in on him, you won't He also has been mean, You want you want the wo stat of the of like the century. There's a photo shoot that Messi when he was Like twenty years old, they did a photos shoot with a baby with a baby and the baby was your mom He was He was baptized. The next goat baptized by the current goat. Ronaldo never done that. Look at that That's your mall right there Is crazy? It's a real picture. Le Messi scored his first World Cup goal in two thousand six while aged eighteen years, eleven months and wearing number nineteen all score first World Cup goal in twenty twenty six while agge eighteen years, eleven months wearing number nineteen Destiny and that's This is real. Yeah Yeah. No, one hundred percent real. Crazy. why did this happen They were doing some sort of photo photos shoot. they get we What was the photoshoot for? Babies? And messy Was it an ad? gu hading babies Is an a need we need more I think there's there's more pictures of there it is. There's the article right there The anointed one. See Was he like good at soccer? baby? This is If no Listen, It was already over, but like if Ronaldo has nothing till Ronaldo Yeah is is baptizing a baby that ends up being the next best W soccer star. How much do you think you all could charge to baptize a baby right now? A lot. There we go cameo. Yeah. It was it was a cale It was a calendar for charity. Yep Okay, that's all that baby ended up being one of the best players in the world He can't look pess. he christened. Yeah. Yeahah. Now doing cameos for baptizing That's that's next up, I think.retty s. Yeah, it's pretty cool. And we are sorry to say Hank, we are the best in the world get used to it We'll be around for a while. So what would be a disappointing finish for At this point, we got mean Samies. I'm saying I'm sticking what I said at the start of the tournament, which is We need to win. we need to make it to the quarterfinals. Let's see how the bracket comes out because there will definitely if pristine. If the bracket is set up how set up right now We should be in the Top is I don, comeome on quarter files 's for The The semifinals, quarterfinals I guess why that would be confusing. Yeah. Yeah because got quarter in there. But no we should get this semiz if it was what it's set up right now. Who knows what it's going to look like after the next round of games, but it does it looks like we should We're going to be favord in our first game and we're probably going to be favd in our second game and then the third is where it really shakes out into like we could end up running into a powerhouse like Spain. who has been tied by Um was that that was Ke Veray M. So anything can happen, but um so you're talking about the Netherlands The Netherlands is awesome. I think it's been like fourteen games since they've lost Yeah in regulation at the World Cup. Yeah. They just they've they've made a habit of flaming out pretty spectacularly in some big moments later on of the tournament, but u They're a really, really good team and they have been for a while. So I might put a little I want to wait till the bracket really like comes into its own. I get to see what the matchups might be, but I think I'm going to put down some money on. I just like playing I likek playing with them and That was a great video game. the South Africa one and Hired Robin. He was sick. Um Okay, An other World Cup thoughts. Max, you went to a watch party, right I did. It was awesome. Great vibes. Speaking city was bumping. Curse out Cursea's coaches named Dick Advocate. I just thought that was fun. That is fun. It's a fun thing of note Great tie from them. Yeah. Great t Really good tie. Speaking of parties, Mmes is back, Mmes Give it I know you were on your way to karaoke coming from the sububway sandwich shop on Friday. Yep. What Tell us everything U went into the city at five thirty, didn't get back home on long Island until ten thirty at night Long day Vibes were immaculate. The best way to describe the parade who's kind of like World War Z, which is a zombie apocalypse movie. People were just climbing on everything. They were climbing on Broad trucks. Yeah Scaffolding lightight poles, like everything you could imagine it was being climbed on. And whatever they reported for the number, I think it was two million, just double it Okay. So four million. Okay four million people. And what How did you get you had incred you were like standing next to Mike Brown, you were standing right next to the the the um Beaches, how'd you do that We just we knew a cop Oh, hell yeah. It was a big Noah cop day or Noah AWL day. likeike after we were done with the parade we went over to Stone Street. And like it was it was mobs and then a group of AW's were like, Hey, we got a table And then that was that was probably the greatest part of the frid for me. Tld you the after the parade drinking. Yeah, people were just throwing toilet paper everywhere and it was just hanging off of a bunch of ribbons in the middle of street That's awesome. What was the weather like? U weather was good, started raining a little bit, but ill still perfect. How many guys called you champion Everyone, everyveryone was just calling each other champion. Champion or champ. Champion Like looking you in the eyes and saying champion. Champion you would you would say champion, Champion and then shake hands. Oh, that's pretty incredible. So this is this was a thing never done it Did somebody say it wasn't a thing? No. We reported on Friday that everyone was doing it. Yeah, it sounded real I I was personally doing that. So whoever was reporting it repeporting that. I might have just said it to that person. Who' the best who had the best speech? U Best speech, I'm going to be honest, don't remember the speeches. Good answer. Great answer. What about you see any toe sucking I didn't see any to toes hu. You see, you know that video I'm talking about? That guy was getting after the toes. That and the toerking were Oh, the twerking lady was awesome She just tws right in her face And she had the presence of mind too to have the orange underwear She went to the parade being like Good chance my my pants come off And I got to be ready for this. She kn know. Yeah Okay, greatreat and I I'll say this. We're going to get to Mount Rushbore after the interviews We decided the teams on Friday and Memes, Max and I are a team we were talking before I don't know if I'm ready for the world that we live in now where Mmes is just Kind of smiling all the time And Max and I just accused him of like being weird and then we realized This is just who he is now. Yeah. It's happen been crazy. He's happy man Yeah, I'm just I'm just a winner now as a former loser. now Yeah, it' just nice to win. Do you look down on guys like me No, I root for you now That's so patronized. That's so much wor. Yeah. Thanks. That's so much wor. No no like I was more cynical because ye, you know, all everyone this is Billy and the Jets a Yeah. No, no, no, but like Oh I would this one makes s for But he actually won something. but I really did it because they they started like three in one. Yeah. I would hate watch like teams like purposeully root against, but now now I'm rooting for We got Gold Egypt. Yeah. love that. one G me all the ties. I will say one other funny part from the parade. My buddy was wearing a Josh Hart Villanova, jersey and we're walking down an alley. And there were three other guys wearing Villanova jerseys and it just happened to be the other three guys. Oh D takeake a picture? Yeah. It was a very dud's rock moment. It was just Dante Div Vicenzo, Brunson, and Male and we had the fourth long losost. And none of them were Brunson No one guy was brought to. one of them was brought. We had chart. They had the other three. That is. Oh yeah. got it got it. I thought, okay, okay, okay, got you. That's really sick Um But now we have the draft and free agency coming. Did Treyun sign by the way Noond Monday is Mond free agency Jan is still up in the air. Ive seen a lot of people being like, Jan is about to sign trying to call their shot and then missing the window. Go to the Celtics, right here I think it's heat is the heat the favorites. It like the favorites Also, did you see Aie Dabana Father's Day Father's Day Nice Father'sdayay post. post a picture of his dad in front of the White House. And his dad was wearing, I believe the Georgetown Nike' in the second picture. Yeah, saw that. and then The Darren Peterson news is kind of weird too where he says he's not to work out or meet with any team besides the wizards. So he might just be doing an E line just like forcing his way. We might get both of them You might get both Daniel Peterson and AJ. Maybe that's what that's what It looks like Darren Peterson won't play basketball for any team except the Washington Wizards. Yeah Didn't that happen last year for the guy the Jazz drafted Oh Ace Bailey, ye. the jazz are like, we don't give a fuck. There's comon to Utah. There's been there's been a couple commonalities in the last couple drafts. I don't know who it is in DC that keeps leaking Wds the media that like, Everybody in the draft only wants to play for the wizards. But that's like a pattern that we're starting to see. Well, I mean that would make sense for every agent to try to vie for their player to get the first be the first pick. Right. Oh Okay, anything else before we do. Oh. The Cus are now together in Florida. That's pretty crazy. Yeah feel like we and we'll have the hockey guys on at some point this summer I feel like hockey's got like a sneaky situation going where Everyone's just forcing their way to states without income tax. I know we've touched on it a little bit, but businessiz talked about it But it feels like a really big problem because it's not like It's not like the NFL NBA where they're you know, guys are making millions upon millions like hockey guys, if you're making two million dollars, like the difference on state income tax like that's a that's massive. So Another The Chuck brrothers in Florida will be fun. Yes, so it was three first round picks in a second. That's a lot. Yeah, right? Like in hockey, that's Three first rounders is kind of nuts, but this is a good move, I think for the Panthers Yeah I'm just happy that they gets a podcast together Yeah, the quality of the show is going to go up. Big time as someone who roots for the podcast? aroundround the world. Yeah actually, I don't huge. I don't like that part of it Why? Well I'm just saying like if we're going to be competitive in cutthroat, I guess Iron sharpens Iron. Yeah. No we can't we don't run away from competition. We're not like Wyndham Clark's psychological coach who's who's covering her ears when shit gets tough. We run towards the fight We're ready for it All right, let's do who's back of the week Wh's backack the week is brought to you by our friends at Tisted Ta. Summers here and Twisted Te is coming in clutch. turn our day drinking up a notch. their new summer party pack has a brand new twisted lemonade made with real lemons and five percent alcohol. It's got that refreshing taste with a little kick, no carbonation and goes down smooth We love twisted lemonade. I'm going to be having some twisted lemonadeades over we're on vacation. We'll still have shows next week, but The barcel office is closed, I'm gonna be sitting in a pool and I'm gonna be having some twisted lemonades. So whether it's hitting the course for a round Pregaming a ball gamer, inviting the guys over for some backyard grilling the new twisted tee summer party pack is perfect to keep the good times rolling. Grab a refreshing twisted tea Today Hey Yeah I had the Panthers. I guess fights the big three came back They had to suspend one of their games. I saw that Lan Stevenson, Whwite Howard, Jordan Crawford, Michael Beasley all got in like separate fights throughout the game. Enough players got ejected where they just couldn't continue the game That was crazy. Kind of exciting. I mean, it's like it is, it is. A reason to tun in. Do you want a free one? A Game of Thrones? No Game throwses back. I'm excited Do another one? Sure Kevin D Rant from come now Kevin D Rraham went on a podcast. didid anyone see this? it's quite shocking. No Kevin Durant, I don't know why he's decided to talk about Joining the Warriors now. I guess it is ten years. Yeah, it's the ten year anniversary. But he essentially said on this interview. the fucking cAs tenure aniversation? No, know, but July one is the tenure aniversity. R sureure was on a million dollars worth of game. Oh, was it? It's the old interview. Oh. why is it going reviral? They just clipped it. Oh So but it is a ten year anniversary, july first, twenty sixteen, I believe, is when Kevin Rant went to the Warriors. That would make sense. He said though when he went to the warriors, he everyone was like, oh, you hooked up with your friends. you know, he's like, I wasn't tight with any of those guys And he said that he wasn't thinking about the fact that the warriors had been to back to back finals and just onene, what was it seventy games whatever it was He was saying that the Warriors as a franchise overall was was was seen as losers. So he thought he was kind of joining an underdog Okay. so that's the mental gymnastics he's gone throughs a Yeah to defend the ring chasing. Yeah. Okay. He said, you've never been a the word has never been a perennial winner You know, what I'm saying in the NBA from the fifties on up. So I'm like, damn, this is underdog franchise to me Yeah, nobody expected them to do anything. Yeah. Hell of a spinz so. Yeah. hell of a spinz Okay. You good hank? What are you got? What are you looking for Thank you After. No. I know. I'm doing Literally the warriors beat the thunder in the Western Conference fininal And then Kevin Durant went Yeah It might have been j it was four or sixteen. Yeah because it was when I did the hot dog competition. I remember I was stuffed full of hot dogs when I saw My next chapter. Yeah, that was graphic. D defeending it by saying like the warriors were not loserf were not a good team is wild, even for Kie. Yeah, they're a loser franchise. All right, All right, Katie. Yeah. I hope he's happy. He's not Maybe one day C on the show. C on the show. We'll on the show.'ll talk we' talk through it. OkayF. Mees will make you really happy. Mmes will root for you Do you wish nothing but success for Kevin Durant now Mmes If he comes on the show Max is putting up a tweet of ice Harper Well you're talking about free won. Get getting a cycle, so Do you think that was a triple? sureure was. I continontinue. Becauseuse this is just going to out you for not knowing ball. No, I ask you a question if you thought it was a triple. I would like you to continue it was a triple. With asking you if it was a triple It was. They scored a triple. It was was. It was a triple Crect. He was going for he was going to third base before the throw. I know. I just want to get I w he would have been thrown out. He would have been for sure thrown out. Yeah But it is a triple and anyone who' complaining about it being a triple There' not know Yeah, I just want to get you fired up about it max. I was hoping that you were going to be on the opposite. No because I mean, it's clear as day that he was he rounded second and maybe like the dumbest display of base running of all time. I mean, they were up thirteen. And yeet it worked out for him But yeah, it's a trip Max by the way, congratulations on being a wild cart team Congratulations to you. Thankk you very much. And conongrats, guys happppy for Bhy.

Yeah, abbsolutely. Or they yeah You don't know what the package would look like to get Jail. Are you talking about a different j Jail in Brunson? No, I'm saying that could be J in Brunson. It could end up being a jail It could be a Yokch. could be a Jail in Brunson second round picks. There's so many jailons in the NBA. Yeah G breaking moves Great job Maxt. We're ha to go We're having fun out there. Yeah. My who's back of the week is Serena Williams. She's playing in 's playing in Wbberland. Oh she's forty four. What memes? U U Now that you're a champion, you're too good for us to make runs. You guys knowgh You guys know I laugh at it.. Zach Combination Pase alification. S is she's back I'm staying very woke on this. I'm thinking this is just a viral advertisement for her weight loss drug that she has one?'s yeah, she's like the face of a weight loss drug. Yeah. Which one? I forget. I don't want to give her free pub. Okay Um But yeah I feel like this is a marketing stu, even though she is still, I think she's hitting like one hundred and twenty miles an hour under serve still. so It's probably good enough to beat the scrubs that she'll play in the first round. I'll be honest, tennis is a sport that I pay so little attention to. I have no idea who's I thought she was still playing Like is Federr retired Yes, ye. Okaykay Isn't it at all Yes. He's retired. Yeah. I Serena and Venus are retired. Oh Yeah. I on Nadal's last match on Cay. Y Serena's back Okay person. And then this gives Sereinna Venus a Double spot since she's getting the wild card now. Yeah. Got it Oh So congrats to Sereenna I guess. Mither who's back of the week is environmental testing and safety standards and standing up for what's right in this country These corporations, they pollute our water, they poison our earth Dangerous chemicals in our food and onto our football teams. and we're not going to stand for it anymore. We did some testing last week. Is the video out? came out on Friday? It did. came out Friday. We did some testing on the ground in Hammond, Indiana bears are planning on moving to potentially. Zach and I, Zach did most of the testing. We have it all documented And we discovered that there is Led Right, Zack. A lot of lead. Lead in the groundwater. Zack drank it, tested it. It's going to be Maybe it might actually be a home field advantage for the Baris now th think about it. Like if you're not used to having lead on your playing field and you come into Chicago That's going to be tough to deal with during the game But but yeah it it's polluted. So go watch the video now. We actually did some someome weird science testing. I think it's I think it's valid I think that's a legit experiment we did Zach. Yeah, independent research, the lead test did test It maxed out on the scale Yeah as much let as possible. And we I think we said in the video I don't know what made the final cut, but if the bears would like us to be their lead investigators, we can be b And we will retest and wink, wink, it'll be fine. We'll give you an updated test every week depending on who pays us more money.h. And then we'll whistle blow right as the shovels go in the ground and be like, Ha, we were just getting so much lead. you can't build Also, Chicago might be title toown Bquet Oh yeah The hounds, the Chicago rugby team just won major League rugby. I knew that. Yeah. Well it just happened like right now. Oh. So like right this se likeike right now, go hounds. Fuck yes. Undeated season.

The exclamation If it was just big, I think it would have been fine. I think it was big with the exclamation point. I also made it seem like Yeah, it hurt. It looked like the teacher did some editorializing with the exclamation point. Well, and I asked him did not have to put that exclamation point. I asked him. I was like, hey, how old am I? and hes he confirmed he said big Yeah And then I said, what color my eyes? He said blue, which no, they're not, but he has blue eyes and his favorite colorors blue But it was not only the big but then My favorite or sorry, three things he loves about me is that I eat dinner brut Dinner and my favorite food is breakfast and banana bread Is I do love banana bread.

It is our good friend Max Homa Happy Father's D, Max. Let's start with that U didid you golf today on Father's Day? I feel like Father's Day golf is like New Year's Eve for the casual for the casual drinker. It's like everyone's everyone's like, I'm going gonna golf today, even if I don't golf You know that it hit me because I did not golf tra and I' golf every other day. We did a father's D like boys. golf day on like was it Friday? and I realized today felt more like, oh, this is an off day, but I realized this morning that Most Dads use this as an excuse to go play golf. R. I was using it as an excuse not to play golf. So yeah. Yeah compleplete opposite obstacle. Buty happy Father's day to you guys? I was thinking about it before I came in. Zack has to have a child floating around somewhere. Like that's just my assumption. I don't know. Zack Zero kids. record and off record. zero children. He's not a sex guy. intercourse isn't his thing. On paper and off paper. Yeah onn paper off paper. So so we watched we just watched the US. Open at Chhin'cock And the big story coming out of it is that Boy does do people not like Wyndham Clark? He played incredible U down the stretch the the Birdie on sixteen was that was his championship pole But I wanted to start with because it was of like a very bizarre. I don't remember watching a final round quite like this where The fans were actively booing in American. for the U S. open and like cheering when he had a bad shot. And rooting for anyone. Like it wasn't at first I was like, o, this is just because everyone loves Scotty because we love Scottty. But then it was like, now it's Sam Burns. now it's you know, kid. Yeah. So like from your perspective, would that have been tough to have everyone like actively cheering against you in that setting and like booing you and and saying like get in the bunker after a te shot and shit I definitely like lean toward I mean, just, I mean, I'm a people pleaser. It would suck like that would just be hard. I remember my mom, I missed the first like five haols and my mom text me and she's like, you won't believe this, but you know, they're cheering like like against him. And I was like, maybe they're not clapping, but whatever I thought she was exaggerating. And then I got home and I was like, holy cow, like they are going at him. It felt like a Riter cup except a U S person won, which is not a thing we do at the Riter Cup. Ver odd. The only thing I'll say is There is some joy at least in the team events when you play away where it's like you fall in love with that silence and that groan when you make a put. So maybe he, I mean, he obviously did a great job, but he must have turned that likeike in his favor in his head, like me against the world because it was already probably really hard playing with Scottty But that was weird. I mean, I know sometimes we'll have like, you know, people have their favorites. I would imagine everyone's going to root for Scottty every week. But this to your point was truly like anytime someone else made a put' like, fuck yeah, you're my new favorite. Like you're going to win.. I mean, no offense to Tom Kim, but like you know, he's not an American dude U Unfortunately because, you know, like people like Hideki, like C was my favorite, u person probably in the world of golf and he doesn't even have a huge like following. In America, it's just very rare and like especially with like just the Asian crew, they're all cool, but they just don't seem to get like a lot of backing from us. But when Tom started going, you could feel like the crowd be like, all right, if you're gonna to do it,, you know, we'll try to take you to the finish line. It was odd, but I mean We've kind of needed in golf like a heel, I guess in a way and Wndham doesn't deserve to be a heel. Dave, his cady is one of my closest buddies, but it was as just a fan of golf. It was fun to have that in my opinion for a day. I feel bad that it's him because he's, you know, one of my guys, but I mean, it was kind of enjoyable just because I've never, I mean, that ball that rolled off the green on six like they were cheering Yeah go go, go when it missed the green. they went nuts. Yeah was c and it was Tom Kim's birthday. I think that had something to do with it. I Scott. Yeah Scott Scottty. It was his birday. I heard several people singing happppy birthday to both those guys U But yeah, it was it was strange and it was a little uncomfortable because we're not used to hearing that at a golf tournament. It like it seemed like it was almost piling on at one point But then after he said he was talking to the press and he said, Yeahah, I kind of deserve some of that. Like I kind of brought some of that on myself. So I feel I feel like a moment like today we're on sixteen He could have melted down And when he hit that drive like a million yards to the left and then he was stuck in the shit. and then got out of that and made like the most imp improbable birdie of the day. That feels like at that point the crowd kind of said All right, he beat us You know, like Yeah, good job. We'll now cheer for you because it looks like you're probably going to win this thing. wouldould you know do you know why? besides like punching the lockers and like destroying advertising signage Like why why I was in that group that day, by the way, that was terrifying. Yeah was it it was it was violent. He did destroy the fuck out of that that tea boox, right Yeah. So my guess on why because Wyam, you know, is was one of the best golfers in college. One of the best coming out of college kind of hit a rough point if you want to talk about like igious people, but not like, you know, he's had a really great career obviously and you know, he's like a big He's just like a dude. He's big into sports. He doesn't do himself favors by saying we're going to open grape. I've listened to that podcast. Like that doesn't help, but obviously we're you know, joking like he's like just a guy. He's like a guy's guy or whatever. I will say just being a fan of sports, you notice in these interviews when someone doesn't full blown own up to something and say, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry The fans just take it and go like the other way. My wife asked me today like what do you think he needs to do to like turn this narrative? And I was like, honestly, if After this, whether he wins or loses if he gets up there and just kind of says, no, it's cool. like I'm good with it. And like he said, you know, I deserve it. I think it'll flip around. I do think that the fans were It's fun or whatever. I'm I mean, it's not, you know, it's not harmful. It's just weird for golf. but I think sometimes you see it go complete other way. and then the next week the fans are going to be like this is a bit like that was a bit much. So I do think that he handled it perfectly. He never went back at anybody. he never you know, from what I saw never told somebody, you know, shut up or anything like that. And I think that's how you win it back. But I mean, like you said, PFT, that was just weird. We don't get that in golf like ever. It's so freaking uncommon granted We are technically in the state of New York and it's a tough place to play. but that was that was one of the weirdest strangest days. Yeah. and but for the record, I think everyone knows where we sit like I had no problem with it. I think that's it's like makes it It was weird, but also Fascinating to watch. like I saw some people pitching me and being like the fans are going too far. It's like whatever. Pe are going to fan how they want to fan And if he far is not saying that like that's not too far toooo far is like likeike saying like, you know, fuck you or like you're a pervert or something like that Yeah or you know, like saying something in their backst. hereere's the theory. I was thinking about this I think it's also his name and he can't change anything about his name. But if he was like Jason Clark or you know, Tom Clark Yeah. So regular just like generic name. Yeah. Do you think if the hotel chain was more like a Ritz Carlton and less like a Yes. notot a Ritz Carlton also do subers Here's LaQint Clark. Here's LaQuinta Clark or you know, Red Rufin Clark. I think he'd be okay. L the fact that his name is a Teshare. People hate Teshares. even people that bought Teshares hate them Yeah. So I think it's the name, which you can't fix. I wonder what his middle name is Let me let me see if he because that would look on that middle name. Yeah. If it's something like Matthew, that would be all different. It's Robert. If it was Bob Clark, Bobby Clark. Robbylark? Yeah. Bobby Clark. treating him totally different. Yeah. rebrand. Maybe that's the rebrand. Yeah. It is That's a great ide. It's like a Highty toighty golf name and everyone's like, what the hell is this? All right, so let's talk about the actual golf Shincock it went it was like back and forth all week where it' like, oh this day is going to look like hell. and then ye a little stretch on Thursday and actually I want to start with that because there there are some people who do not like Windndham Clark who like he got so lucky on Thursday that the wind died down My response to that would be what happened to everyone else he was playing with too that was in that window Do you think that Chinnacock did its job as being one of the toughest tests this weekend from what you saw on TV? I I did. I do think that they got this a set upp. I'm not all in on the I think we have like seelective memory. most US opens, even when they're incredibly hard, the first day, like the lowest scores are like low U The fact that second place was too under meant that it was incredibly difficult And to your point. I hate when people say that like you got the, you know, he got lucky. I mean, so did half of the field and that's how golf works every week unless you play like a One of those rare weeks where the wind doesn't blow at all. Everyone gets somebody gets on the good side of it. It's like, can you take advantage And it wasn't, you know, crazy. They got a bit hosed in the fact that when Thursday morning is going to be the hardest conditions The event can't set it up crazy right off the bat because I always use wingfoot as my example. I played the US open at wing fooot And the scores for how hard's the hardest golf course ever. And the first day I don't remember was winning five or six under and every was complaining about it. And I played in the morning on Thursday and then very, very late on Friday. and it was really soft Thursday. But by Friday afternoon, the golf course was purple. It was as hard as it gets and they had good weather so they could progressively make it harder. What seemed to happen though was the mornings tended to be more windy than the afternoon. So you saw the leaders Or in this case, especially when I'm just playing in like, I guess slightly less wind than everybody else. so it didn't get as hard. I will say I lean I would much rather be playing the US Open but now being home as a fan the last couple years, I want them to do what you I'm rooting for the course so hard. like I want I want just carnage. I want the balls to bounce, you know, the Narnia So that kind of suck not seeing that, but I get why it just I don't know. I think we've become spoiled with the US openp back in like the two ten s where it was like Mike Davis used to run the USJ would just penalyze people for being a professional golfer. It was like, this is my chance. I could't make it myself so fuck you guys. This is about to be the hardest week of your life. So I do as someone who doesn't have to play, I really was sad. I was joking with the boys last year. I didn't get in the open and every morning I woke up at like four something to watch and every morning it was as sunny as it was in Tahoe, where I was playing my term. I was like, no, I want rain. I want the umbrellas to break. like I want to I want to feel like I'm not jealous U that Im, you know, that I'm not there. So that that part I do think that they kind of nailed the course, but again, as a fan, I would have loved to see You know Just carnage and all that. but I thought it played out really well. You could tell good shots got rewarded, Bad shots got ejected. It was hard to pitch around the greens, great golf shots around the greens went close. they they was it was good. It's just, you know, we can be greedy and want, you know, seven over to win. We wanted Yeah, we want some a little bit. We got like little taste of that too on Thursday. I think it was morning Yeah Higs hit that shot to like within ten feet that then rolled forty yards back into the middle of the fairway And then Morikawa had had a little adventure around the green today where he's just hitting shots that are rolling back to where he's at. S Harmy did it onar. Yeah The first thing I saw I was like, oh my Godd, this is gonna get spicy. I wish they would show the low view like camera more. Yeah. I love That Harry Higgs shot I didn't even notice till today because where they showed it was like from the high cam. and it just looks like it spins obviously it rolls forever. When Windham was hitting his shot today for on ten they lowered it. I'm like, oh, now I see let the ball roll. That's up a mountain. like it was sick. So I wish I would show that more because it makes you also appreciate the good shots because I mean, it's just like I mean, I know you're you're a Shinakk Yeah, you know, legend Big cat, but as someone who hasn't been there, it was hard to picture why it was so hard until they got that camera low Yeah, I mean, I actually was confused at Brian Harmon because that's exactly where I would have just picked up and gone to the next one. So he did he was had the wrong strategy there right for six I'll meet you on too. Yeah. And then what about on d on the third day on Saturday, Winam Clark's Eagle That shot he hit. Can you put into perspective? I mean, I know golf a little bit, but to hit a wood like that and be able to land it to a spot where it's like, you know, two hundred, whatever plus down down the fairway. it looked insane. Was it is insane from someone who actually plays and hits shots like that? Was that an insane shot Yeah, there's, um I hate when they say things like there's only like a handful of people who could hit that golf shot because I don't think that' Always necessarily true, but the way in which he did it. So Windndham is one of the longest guys on Tory, creates the some of the most like some of the most speed of anybody. and you need so much speed to hit a ball that high and curve it that much and hit it that far. So like just to be able to do that is like remarkable. And then to hit it online, it's like a whole other thing And then to do it in the in the moment when he you know, I think it's so easy with a four or five shot leader or whatever you had at the time four shots to just get to the house and keep the four's what Tiger was the best of all time at. but Tiger would would had just was able mentally to be like play against himself and he would turn a four shot lead into a seven shot lead so fast because he's just not playing you. He's playing himself. He He just had that and Wyndham did that. And then when you look back You know, it's so easy to Look at the tournament as o, it was the put on sixteen that won But it's seventy two holes, like him stretching that lead made today it's hard to lose a six shot lead because of like because it's it's or sorry. when you have a six shot lead, it's hard to lose just because you can make mistakes like he did today. But he built that so well. And I think that golf shot was, you know, he kind of just like let his nuts hang and and hit a shot that I just don't think a lot of guys have the speed for And I that was, you know, that's one of those you you kind of keep down in in your brain for a long time because the height that thing had was obscene and Those greens are like table topops. so just to even hit the green was crazy, but he got to land soft I mean, that was something else. Yeah Yeah. And then like the guys like Tom Kim and Burnns coming from behind. It seemed like they were staying very much like in tune with what was going on the leaderboard. I think one of the announcers even said, Yeah, I was I was telling Tom Kim exactly what happened on the last hole because he's trying to figure out where he stands. Is that something where you can almost be checking in too much on what the other guys are doing. Yeah, I've been a big checking guy because I would like to know I think I've talked to other players about this a lot. People have different opinions. I do think that it's usually the smartest to start on around the tenth hole on Sunday U because I don't know what you're supposed to do prior to that. Like I'm, you know, of course, we'd love to birdie the first four or five holes. You can' just like make that happen But you know, with nine holes, you want to know how aggressive because like I think Tom was saying that because seventeen's pin is back left. It's not exactly an accessible location, but if you need a tweet to You know, you know, get within if you need to get the three basically, it's like, okay, I'm going to change my strategy and aim it at that flag, which is, you know, on a Thursday you're not even looking at it. everyvery, you know, everybody but Sam basically did what you would do on a Thursday, which is just hit it short right and try to two but U I found it a bit interesting. I just think it's because they changed the green speeds a few times, but I thought that a lot of those golf balls on the greens were just had no pace And I would have thought people would have got a bit more aggressive being whatever back, but looking at it as, you know, trying to as a golfer brain was I think they messed with the green speeds throughout the week with the wind and you know how they You had some of the text out that we sped them up or whatever. And I think it made people very cautious and it's not a place that look like that you could feel real comfy. But I get why they ask. I definitely think there's a fine line, but if you're the type of guy who wants to know I would just want to get as much information as possible just so I know that I didn't look back like later in the At night, you know, tonight as they're having dinner and being like, damn I wish I would have known I needed a birdie or else I would have like, you know, maybe hit eight irn at the pin on ' seventeen instead of being like, you know, thirty feet willll be fine. This is a hard hole. So I'm on that side of the aisle, but I'm sure there is a fine line of like obsessing over what everyone's doing or not. But I think that everybody was probably doing, you know, the normal like kind of correct thing as far as strategy went. How much you mentioned green speeds. canan you explain it to us how much the change in green speeds can affect you like day to day And how drastic is it? Because we're playing we play at courses that reen speed is literally the same every day no matter what. Like maybe there's a little rain slow. and basically for golfers like us, we just blame green speeds when we miss being like, oh, that's way faster than I thought. I don't even. I don't know what I'm looking at. So like when you wake up, you have a report being like, here's what the green speeds are today and you just from that And does it does it mentally mess with you if it's like one day's slow, one day and then the next day's fast or how they adjust it Yeah, I would say we don't typically get a, I mean, I'm sure you could find it. I don't ever like look at a report as like how fast these greens are or whatever. But if the you know, event textessing is like, hey we're going to speed them up, or we got to a lot of times at the open, they'll text be like, Hey, we had to slow down because it's going to blow forty miles an hour or whatever. So you're like aware of it. and when you get to the practice green, you're grinding it. But the tricky part is And the benefit we have, the reason I think the players always shoot so low on these like very difficult golf courses is if you rolled out to you did it. You played the players Ch championship. You roll out to the players' championship, but you didn't get a prex on. You just roll out and you play the golf course and it probably takes you a few holes to get used to like how firm the greens are, how slow or fast the greens are. evenven like how a ball like reacts out of the rough out of the bunk or whatever When we were there, I mean, we get to spend Monday through Wednesday like over preparing for the pace and we hit a thousand putts and you just get so Good It's it's this Steh Curry thing of like this rim's low. likeike it's because that felt good and it went. it didn't go in. It's borderline that where there's certain putts I'll hitting right off the face. old drill used to do is I keep my head down and I'd tell my caddy, you know, that went three feet past or maybe a foot short or that was good paced. And you look up and you see and if you're like on it, that means you got good feel. and there's some putts I hit justust on a regular tournament where I'll hit it. I'm like off the face, I know that was the correct speed. Hopefully it goes in or whatever When they say that they're manipulating it, you just One it makes you a little gun shy because you're just so I guess we take for granted how lucky we have it at times that it's so fucking predictable. Whereas I go play my home course I grew up on that's a I mean, it's lovely Vista Valencia, but it's a fucking dog track. likeike it's not well like kept and it's, you know, whatever. And you have balls that bounce up in the air on the green. You got some greens that are way faster than others. like there's just it's not a know we're spoiled It's not takaking care of like a PJ Toure course and it makes you just a kind of a little bit anxious when you have those, you know, even like a twenty footer Yeah Scottty did it today on nine. They said every single person left that putt short from where he was and that's crazy fifteen feet. like we don't really mess up pace from that distance. but it's just you could just tell because of that that we're like creatures a habit and we just get really used to what you know what its stroke feels like to go fifteen feet. and That's where I thought that the guys today just it's just felt like everybody was a bit shy for the most part. And I just think that there's a bit of that U It's difficult to kind of relieve yourself of that kind of unpredictability and angs, like is this the one that's going to be the fast one? I don't want six feet coming back and those are those bumpy Pana greens. you don't want three feet ever And I don't know. It's like Sam's putot on seventeen. like everyone did the same thing as far. I mean Winam was the only guy I saw this it left But he was the only guy who seemed like he had pace to it. and u It's just you can see the same guys miss the same putts the same way over and over and over again. And there's something to that that like everyone's seeing and feeling the same must be like tension in that because it probably looked fast as shit And it just isn't, but you're you're in your head being like, I don't want three feet, man. L I just don't. And it so that makes it tricky again. we're just we get we get a little again, spoiled as far as when we prep, that's just what the greens end up being for the week and it clearly was a little bit different this week with the weather. Yeah A some guys getting too good at bunker shots Because I feel like there was more than a few times this weekend where a ball would roll into the bunker off the green. It looked like a good shot, but whatever, you know, fucked up little undulation was there. it fed it into that bunker And then it's like, oh, well, they'd almost rather be in that bunker. That's a good place Yeah. feel like bunkers aren't as much punishments as they used to be. U I agree I mean, they're like technically hazards and there where we want to be at all times, especially you go to a Par five, it's like you're just trying to get into a bunk because again, going back to predictable, every bunker is just like so well maintained now that It's Like you just know what you're going to do out of it. my complaint this week is a fan of Cnage. I didn't think the Fescue did anything No. B Bones is one of my like closest buddies. I go to his house for Thanksgiving. He's catdy for me once before, but we are close, close. I love that man. so this is not a shot, but He two times today said how awful a li I was in the Hey on nine with Dub and then again on sixteen with Dub and on nine Windham almost made it sixteen. He hadit it like one hundred and eighty yards up the fairway. Yeah. I was like, you're teasing us. Like I you're telling me this is going to be hard. I'm excited for like the not top ten play. not obviously for Windham, just for somebody and just like everybody was just hitting it in there and like a twelve. Everyone was just whacking it up on the green So I miss that. But yeah, we need more I don't know, penalty, I guess. The bunkers this week I that you know ke keep talking about the pebbles, but I'm with you PFT. Every time somebody hit it in it just looked like it was like, yeah, of course like that's easy. I don't know if they're trying to make it sound worse. Jack Nicholas did his course for a while where his rakes had thicker whatever they call teeth. And when you went in there, it would sit down And again, as a player, that's annoying, but it's also like man, you shouldn't be in the Sand then, you know likeike you can't stop But again, we're so used to Sands the best place we could possibly leave. You could spin it. you could hit a high. It's way better than long rough But as I get older and again, I mean, I can see in you know ten, fifteen years when I quit and I just watch golf, you know, and text you guys about it I'm going to be the old guy being like, you know, hes it's a carryover dude. likeike you palm basketball. Like we got got to make the shit harder. We gott to start calling penalties. Rll rooll the ball back, make the teeth on the bunker rigs wider. I like that one. That's what we need to do. bigigger teeth Yeah I love that. Yeah. I got a golf etiquet question for you, Max. When you're on the course, maybe it's an event, maybe it's just you and your buddies, is there any rule in terms of posting pictures when someone has bad nipple shot There wasn't until like a week, week and a half ago. Okay. All right, so I all right, so my grandfather now I should be penalized, but before that, I shouldn't have been If you do it again, o that's. But ye no you're you're good. I am I mean you I'm sure this already went around the internet, but the first thing I thought of was Andy Dwer in the office when he ran the marathon and I mean, I don't think you could chaf and golf on the nips, but If you weren' a brother, I would have been shocking. I mean, I know you're crazy. Now it's a rule, but also golf is a sport where everyone you sign your own scorecard, you keep your own score Like you should you should be responsible for your own nipples No, no, you need to be self aware. I mean, come on. We got to be self aware. But fuck man, that was that picture really ran through the group chat. Yeah. Yeah They were. Also conrats. I mean we won the fucking NA championship, who cares? Yeah He up win in the long term Yeah Max, did that change your opinion at all about tittdy fucking? Those are pretty juicy. Oh man. by the way, I need to I need to because you're not on Twitter anymore, right No, God no Um There's a guy who's been tweeting at you and I believe me and PFT as well. M Conki for like two thousand days. Yeah he's at one thousand three hundred ninety seven days. Are we shouldh we shouldould we say like when we get to two thousand days? Like we I think we gott to make this happen. Yeah I will say I don't want to blow up his spot, but He hit a big mark at some point while it still on there and I DamMmed him. I'm like, listen, man, like I've got kids, like I got a job, like I can't just make this happen. but if this works out, I'll Fly you and if you want a buddy out and we could play some golf And he said something back. he's really like seemed like a nice kid, but he's like, I just don't feel like this is far enough's kind of become part of my day Be maybe when I hit X amount of followers or X amount of days We'll do it and I'm like all right, cool and then I've been off since. so I didn't know he was still doing it. I do feel bad that now that's probably not going to happen, but I'm with you. I feel like we got to two thousand something because that's crazy. It's a long time. one thousand. So this guy Conki GBR he's a Nebraska fan has been tweeting at Max every single day for one thousand I can't still one thousand three hundred ninety seven days saying the tweet is just day one thousand three hundred ninety seven a tweeting Maxoma to play around a golf with me And he has done it every single day. And I think we were tagged in the original tweet because I see it almost every day So shout out that guy. I think two thousand and we'll come too Well two thousand will make it work Yeah. come to well get Conki. We'll pay for Conkie to come to you and we'll join him and that'll be a blast. That comeome on out. That' be two years Yeah two years two years from now two years from now. Maybe US open weekend. hopefully you'll be playing maybe the weekend after the US open and perfect. You know twenty twenty eight. Let's make it let's make it one thousand seven hundred seventy six days for America. Okay like Oh, I love that. Yeah. So that's love that.'s That's about it's little more than a year that he's got to hit. Okay. you can make that work. He's going to be sometime in the fall. Oh that's football season. If that somehow landed on Fourth of July, could you imagine Jake Marsh's fucking that exploded with the woe? Hey, do you have a question for Max about the tournament today U You said you your best friend with the Windhams Caddy. I really enjoyed the after every single shot the good process there. goodood process there He's going to get a lot of shit for that Yeah arere you going to give him shit for that Is that something he's always done or is like that was that just like a thing this week because that that I was wondering if it was ever not going to happen, but after every single time the microicked it up I was like, good processor, good processor, goodood processor It got So yeah before every shot after every shot, you know, have a good process that I don't know. that must be something that Dub asked him for or maybe the sports I asked him for, like it has to be something like that. Yeah. But yeah, no that will that will get that'll be the next big. when next time we play golf every time he gets a shot, I'm going to tell it to him. I will say Dave is when I'm in California, he's got this sweet little duffy boat and he'll pick me and I hold this son up all the time and we'll just roll around. If that thing is not a yacht This summer, the next time he picks me up, I'm going to be very annoyed. Y. Yeah. Can you can you walk me through the step off because Winamatt a step off Oh bad. saw the step off was it was it was bad. He was in his own head. He stepped it off way late. And then he stepped right back up to it, missed the put, easy put Um What's the process like? what's your process, Max in terms of like, when you reach the point where it's like, I got to step this off I every time you step off or somebody steps off, I always think just from golf or Brain like that was good because every time I donon't, I I am just like, why did I not back off? But I process that in my head is When I am playing like a team event, like a U, you know, Rider Cup or Presidententss Cup, I refuse to back off because it causes so much You know, you heard the crow, the crowd went nut. It was like he already missed it So I will say when he set up to it who knows if this is why. This is truly just like me being a I you know, fan on my couch, but I thought he was aimed kind of fucked up like from what I had seen. I don't know what he read it as, but I was glad for him that he backed off. because I was like, I don't think that's a prayer to go in because we got to watch the putud obviously like four times So when he got back in, I was pretty excited, but I dealing with the gones is hard. I myself or I'm proud of myself when I back off because it means that at some point I had a doubt. So I think typically when you'll get over a put. And what I think what happened to him is he could probably got over the put and as he was over, he was probably telling himself, man, this feels like low or high And he's like, no it's he's probably having like a full conversation in his head. And he finally it's like, dude, start over. L we don't have to do this right now. So again, I think it's always the right thing, but the way things were going with how the crowd was, he was going to get You know, some kind of grief or whatever you want to call, I don't that's not grief, but he was gonna hear it when he did it. But it's ' you're having an inner monologue and when you're playing your best golf and when you're most locked in on like a given shot, you just get over it, You have an idea. you go through like going back to Dave and you know, Hank's question, but like your good process is, I get over it, I take a look, look down you know, feel it and go. There had to be something in his head where it's like, you know,, this feels high, got to hit a soft. and it's like that was not part of the quote unquote good process. So It was good he backed off But that was, you know, right when he right when I saw it, you're like, oh Godd, he's going to get fucking yelled at. Yeah. Yeah. ye I like that answer too. if you do it in a team event then if your teammates are watching, they might think like, oh, what's going on with Max? Yeah like But if it's you doing it, you know that it sounds like every step off is a good step off. I think so Well, that one wasn't because he missed True, That's a good point, But he could have missed either way. Yeah. The really rare step off that you guys would never see, but. It's probably did not happen on that whole on seven Sventeenh US open but every once in a while it's a fart. likeike just every. promise because you don't want to swim, especially on a drig, you don't want to swing really hard and like come out. Yeah. That's a once in a blue moon, but I, you know, you can kind of tell with the guy, especially if you're playing with your boys because they'll step over and do the little leg shift and're like. He wasn't nervous. just had a fart. Shake it out. I've done that with a swing like an unexpected fart as you're swinging. It throws everything off. impossible Yeah, it's impossible. The game's hard enough. we can't We cant have to do both things. Yeah. All right. Roback question. RHO BacK dot com promo code take twenty percent off your first purchase Qips P polos, hoodies, joggers shorts Robak dot com promoode take. You ready, Zach Oh,'s going on, Max? How are Hi I am great now, Zach. How are you? Two woman. From one confirmed not father to one confirmed father. I want to wish you happy Father's Day. Thank you I was curious. I thought there are quite quite a bit AWOs who do play golf and with that a few who probably get frustrated with their golf game What's the most frustrating part about golf to you? Like what's your one one? I kind of hate this about the sport And how do you kind of work through that? L I mean there's a thousand. The most frustrating thing in golf No Boging a Par five makes you want to drive your head through the sharpest firmest window s Disagree wor wor. No, that's great. Oh six. Par five six, Net six Net six. Bies are handic. Bogies are what I try to do. forgot sorry, PFT bogy golf. I've been fllowall on your Tik doos. Yeah. That tilts me. A three put on a par five makes you just You do so I guess it's like any smallness, but you do so much good And then you can't shake it in from four feet and you're just like, I just went three hundred and ninety four yards to, you know, twelve feet and two shots. and then it took me three shots from twelve feet to get it in the hole. That's a lot. There's a million things. My My Caddy and I went to a dinner in Canada last weeke and there's this woman there at the bar. She's truly like the most like frustratingly positive. like I wish I could be her. But I can't, she's too, everything was the best and it's awesome, but you know, we like laugh about it, but she's like the sweetest person on planet Earth. I was like, you know what, John? I want to take her golfing and see if she still is this happy because all it takes is one horrible shot. it's funny is Windham wins this week, two time US Open Champions probably on clloud nine.ext week at the T travelers hell hit a bad shot on Thursday and just be like, whyy am I doing this? Yeah It's the worst game ever. So there's a there's an endless list of answers to that Zach U, but mostly to to answer as easily as possible. It would be something like you know a short miss or a three put on a five, something right after you do something great, like doing something bad, because it's just like I just want to soak in some joy for like a moment. Yeah. Good question, Zack. Great question, Zack. It's incredibly reassuring that at your heights in golf being a professional, you still have those same thoughts of like this is the worst game ever sometimes. that ex yeah yeah That's forever Yeah. Yeah. And, do you have a follow up, s U we can follow up yeah. u When it comes to rain goolf, are you doing weather gear or you you just ripping the polo? How are you so ready for that? It Always. ye, I'm a rain gear. I hate the umbrella though. it's too Cumbersome. So I'm a raingeer I'm from Southern California, man, I'm soft as it gets, but I would avoid the umbrella. follow up follow up. I did see a video probably about eleven years ago. You went to the Hollywood sign for the PGA. Was that really your first time seeing the Hollywood sign orr was that more of like Hey we're at Hollywood sign U No, very first time when you're from there, you have zero interest to go there, but they wanted to go there for the u For the shots, I would imagine, I mean, I'm not You know, I'm not a big Like I obviously not from Chicago, but when I went to Chicago, I wanted to go see like the Chicago tribune stuff and like I didn't get to go but like go up the big tower Is it Sars Tower, whatever it is It will Sears Wait, but I imagine if you live there, you probably aren't doing that. Hold that That's not have Hollywoods. I I appreciate. I'm going to get in Zack's head real quick. You had seen the Hollywood sign though Oh well, yeah, yeah ye. I just never went up and like did the Runyan Canyon thing. Yeah. And so when you have been to Chicago, you have seen the lake that's just like that huge body of water that's just right next to the city. Yeah it's yeah. Yeah because I was stay in a hotel it's only Like three turns from it. So of course we had to walk in. Yeah. so Z, what Zach is talking about is he lived in Chicago for an entire year with never saw the lake. eyes on the lake. For a second. I thought we' on the same t. debunk quick. No That would be like asking Max if has you ever seen the ocean living in southern California? But that's what Zach was getting to. He thought he he thought he was going we were going to end this and he's going to walk out being like see. Max lived inow for thirty years. he never saw the Hollywood side. No No, he had seen it. He had never been up there. Yeah. definitely yeah, I definitely Yeah, now that I get it, Zack Yeah, I've seen it a like thousands of times. It's giant And it's nowhere near the size of the lake. Nowhere near. I'd like to recend my follow up follow up question.. You got greedy. We were there on the following. It was hugeackax. I gotta tell you some Canada, somebody really wm my heart. They yelled backdirl at me and it really just Oh b. All right, It ft really good. V nice Yeah Max, thank you so much for doing this. Let's not make this tradition because we want you back the majors. We'll just play with Conki instead. Yeah, you know what Yeah. You know what? you're banned from appearing on part of my ch The Monday after the US open unless you win US O And you' enough. Yeah yeah. All right, yeah yeah, then I'll definitely yeah That's actually way better. Yeah. All right, Max, you're the you're the best man. Thank you so much Max Homer was brought to you by our great friends over at Rac' Reesea's pean butter cups, the gold standard of candy the official candy partner of Barceol Sports For almost a hundred years, Reese's peanut butter cups have been a fan favorite They're so tasty, they're so beloved I suspect everything we do is somehow driven by Rhese's. Everyone knows that Titans are football's ultimate blocking catching combo Just like Reese's is the ultimate combo of milk chocolate and tasty peanut butter Titan he was happening for races this year canan't wait to see what they have going on at the event. all the more reason to attend free reases and raising money for charity Signs are everywhere. Enjoy A Rees's peeanut butter cup, the official candy partner Barce school sports. And now Here's a good friend, George Kiddle. Okay, we now welcome on a very, very special guest He's one of our favorite guys in the whole world He's the best tight end in the NFL. It is George Kiddle from the San Francisco forty niners T EU is starting We're running this on the start date of TU So you guys have been like I feel like every year just gets bigger and bigger What's what is the big thing this year with T you? You had Taylor Swift last year Y Is it is it Mike K to contain a beers? Is that what the big reveal is this year Now Dana said he's going to shock on ten beers on stage in front of everybody. So that's our that's our plug. That's how we sold it to all the guys and that's how we sold it to all these lovely sponsors for all you guys listening on your podcasts. Yeah. great We got great sponsors Everywhere. the spons. You're doing your great job of that. Yeah. Whoever's in charge of that Yeah Well done. Yeah. We love we love Reese's Reesees are fantastic. Oh w, you guys are you guys are on it. goodood John way to produce way to produce get the Reesees louge here. All right how many how many tight heads are coming this year Be it is pretty insane what you and Greg and everyone has been able to do in terms of the growth of it. This is actually the crazy thing is we have over ninety tights locked in, which is the most we've ever had. And what I want to say is the craziest saying is we snd on an invite usually mid April when guys are going back to like OTAs because they're out of the offseason and they're at the football stadium and they're not as busy And usually we get like seven guys signed up by June. Like April and may go buying, we willll have seven sign upps and I have to literally text one hundred people And then this year on the second day, we had over thirty guys signed up And I don't know if that's because they're excited to go or it's because out of the thirty guys, all thirty of them were bringing their spouse significant other and if they're excited to potentially see Taylor Swift, I don't know what that was. That's my guess. Yeah we're excited to have everybody. We have like, I think we have ninety two guys signed up. It's going to be a great time. And you know, hey, the surprise one is we had Tony Gonzaes coming this year, which we're pretty excited about Hell That's awesome. Yeah, Professor Emeritus or whatever you want to call him. So you have that's pretty good. That's a lot of tight ends that you have in one place. Do Do you do like name tags on the first day Oo, we've done that in theast We did that when we had forty five guys show up, but that's a lot of name tags. I think I'm just going to hand hopefully I have a bud light with everybody's name on it. We all shock on one together with your name on it. That'd be a good way to do it, right? That' be good. Yeah. that's a lot of dudes to remember. I do love that it's growing though. It's pretty remarkable. what you guys have great put together. Do do like at the end Are there like superlatives? likeike you give out awards to people Last year was the first time we did an award and it was for Titan who took advantage of the entire Titan U and that means you take advantage of both on the field in the classroom and at the bars And Brady Russell won it the tied and slash fullback from Seattle. He won it last year. He took full advantage. We were very proud of him for his performances in the classroom and off the field. That was. He was a he was a captain, wasn't he? in the Super Bowl? I think so. Yeah. I think so. Yeah d I mean, he was fantastic. Dude with a mullet, I think they sent him out just to just intimidate Yeah,, he warms up with the shirt off It was great to see. Has anybody ever flunked out of TEU Oh yeah Travis tries, but he's just so good that it doesn't matter. Yeah, ye. Yeah. Yeah It just doesn't matter. He's just so talented. How sick are of people asking you how the foot's doing? How sick are you of that? It is what it is, you know, it just Yeah,'s it's whatever. I'm having a great time with. Hey, you know, today I actually so we're airing this on Monday todayod is a couple days ago. I got to run the day hit over sixteen miles an hour. That was pretty sick. Is that what is that f? That's pretty when you get on the treadmill and you turn up to sixteen. Okay. That's really f. No. No I'm in, I'm in cleles on the field right now. So I'm twenty one weeks out and I'm running over sixteen miles an hour So I'm having a great time Singing like box jumps, We're cutting again. It's having we're having some fun. Ohs somed when I come back from all my injuries, maybe I'll run sixty miles an hour. S now that's My days of sixteen are way out of the picture at this point. Yeah. Are you having to like hold yourself back? U a little bit, I'm a little bit ahead of schedule. so I when I'm trying to, you know, try new things and my trainers are like, Yeah, just simmer just a little bit. So it's just basically what my surgeon told me is don't be a dumbass. Now I'm trying my best to just not be a dumbass. Yeah Yeah. because I feel like you're, I mean, the way you're wired, you are one of the true football guys in the way that like You just love football, you love contact, you want to be you want to be out there. So I would imagine it is like a little bit being like, hey, almost like when you like feed a Labrador and you have to give them b with the spiral so they don't eat too fast. That's what they have to do with you in your in your, you know, rehab That's definitely me right now. Yeah. No, they are I amm on a tight leash, but I'm pulling as hard as I possibly can. Yeah. Yeahah, Hide his cleleats when he's done. He's not he can only work out once a day. Yeah. Yeah How sick are you of being asked about the substation during your recovery? That's actually been it's been a minute. What do you guys want to talk about? Well, so we have a substation here too, and we think that it's affecting us. I'm fully bought in on the idea that That substation is the reason for Like six of my calf polulles, my hamstring tear. I'm blaming it for everything. Kitty stones. Yeah, Kidy stones., you name it. My graduate my early onset dementia Yeah everything. likeike everything is a substation' fault. I know what you guys are going through because if you start to even think that it's a problem then it could actually become a problem even if it's not You know, I think when we were getting blasted with that question, I think Kyle Yushk actually answered it great who's also coming to tightanew. We're making full backacks st great again I love that Very cool But he said As professional athletes, you're looking for anything that will make you one percent better, right? Ice tubs, red light, stem cells, whatever it is makes you one percent better. Well, like what if something makes you one percent worse? So we you know, that was our biggest question and And you know, Cus to the Niners, the Nineers NFL sent out a couple scientists, whoever is Um doctorate in that, I guess, or a degree in whatever substation power plant stuff is. And they said it's at a safe, normal amount that will not affect us So hopefully that helps, but I will say if No matter what happens, if anybody gets hurt, that's going to be the first thing that people talk about. Yeah Yeah. And how divorced were these scientists that they'd sent out there? Because we talked to the guy that it wasn't that guy. Okay. It wasn't that guy. Yeah. That might be the most divorced guy that we've ever interviewed. Yeah. In fact knowillers. Th was a great cat. Yeah. Yeah We did ten minutes about his divorce and an outberurgers, Th's worst things to talk about, I guess. Yeah. As its dwn on you that you're entering your tenth year in the NFL? That's pretty funy awwesome dude It's pretty crazy. Just thinkin it back on it. my second year in the league, you guys almost big timed me and now we're in here ten and I've only been on the show. I don't know. what How many times I've been on the show? tenen times probably We would probably have you on whenever you wanted to come on the show. Yeah, if we're being honest, but we're too we won't reach out to you during football season too much. You're busy man. Weould do feel bad during football season D't I'll come on your show whenever you guys want me It be Wednesday in the middle of Maniions I'll be there. wass a mistake. But yeah, ten years, dude. likeike it's crazy. When you can you go back to to George Kiddle coming out of Iowa getting drafted to the forty nineiters in your head Obviously, you have a lot of optimism and you have belief in yourself. but was there a part of you that was like, hey, look, if I can just make it a year, like that would be pretty up because you know, you weren't a a first round pick. Was there a part of you that was like I'm just trying to make it day by day and like if someone told you ten years at that moment, you like get the fuck out of here, man one hundred percent I'd be get the fuck out of here. I mean, Larry, when I got drafted, I was like, all right, what I have to do to just make it through OTAs and not get cut. Then we got a training camp. I' like he, how do I make the team in training camp If I could make it as a practice squad player, if I could make it as the third overall guy and then they traded our guy my rookie season and I was starting week one. So like I had no I was not imagining that. I thought I was going have an easy coast, you know, just try to figure it out as I went And absolutely not. No. I was thrown in the fire immediately. And I'm really glad I did because it was very beneficial to me and my career. Yeah. If you were to go back and talk to talk to Lil Greg Maybe the day that he got drafted Would you give him any advice No J doent him Yeah, do what you did? The best thing I did as a rookie that I learned at the University of Iowo was like Shut up And no one should know who you are based on how much you talk. like no one shoulds big, Oh, that's a funny guy. They should just say, oh yeah, that guy plays well Second place hard Like you don't want to be a rooookie You don't want to known as the funny. You don't want to be known as oh he he drives a sick car. likeike you want to be known only for ball Yeah. and my it's funny, like we have a running back coach. his name' is Bobby Turner. I think he's coached for seventy five years in the NFL. He's the he's the man But Larry told me, he always tells me he says the same he says the same same ten stories all the time, which is great. But he's like, you know what? He wass like, you know back your rookie season, man. I never heard you say a word and then, hey, your're second year. now I just can't hear you shut up, ever man. I'm saying yeah That's me. Yeah. So like I took a year, learned as much as I could and then kind of let my personality out once I kind of had it figured out. Yeah. Yeah that's really good advice to follow. When you got drafted, did the forty nineers say to you like, hey, we think you can be like a incredible threat catching the ball or was it something because you know, in Iowa You guys you guys just build tight ends, but it's not like they catch the ball a ton. You know, you had forty eight catches in your in your college career entire career. So was there a moment did they tell you, Hey, this is what we think you can become orr was there a moment Kyle or you know, John Lynch or someone was like, o, fuck You can catch like youre you're this explosive and awesome catching the ball too. likeike we know you're beast blocking, but you can do it all You know, it really started my rookie OTs. We had rookie mini camp and we had two practices. And I think out of like the fifteen balls that were thrown my way, I caught fourteen of them. And they were like choice routes where you could to dice somebody up. They were like fun routes and I caught everything. And we went run to OTAs And I would just have like super explosive days where like, you know, you know, like we'd have a keeper where I fall out the backside and'd have like a sixty yard touchdown. They had me running fades on like the fifth day because I was routing people up. And I was like, oh, this is fun. Like I'm just having a good time. And then week one, I'm running choice routes on third down, never run a choice route my entire life Yeah, That's crazy. I was a big basic and corner guy Iowa and now I'm running choice routes U winoutes, whatever you can do. like, hey, we need you to win on third down. I'm just like All right, sounds great. I'll try my best. I got you. And then it work Yeahah, I mean, it worked out. It was pretty clear real fast that you were going to be you were going to be like a different player than you were in college Yeah, its it's been really, really fun to watch you as the years have gone on. I'm curious like you're bouncing back from an injury now. U So your focus is on like getting that part of your game better Are you adding any new wrinkles? Like how are you growing as a player besides Just making sure that the heel's okay Right now, I'm basically restarting at square one, like I am Basically re teaching myself how to runum block pass proro get out of a stance. likeike I'm ler just starting to square one that I possibly can because what I know is I have the rest of June. I have all of July And then I have four weeks in August to get into football shape. So like I'm just like right now I'm stage one just reteaching myself how to play football and be explosive again. And if we're getting to. I feel like the forty nineers are a real team to watch this year because last year, pretty much everything that could have gone wrong. did go wrong for you guys and you still w a playoff game, which is crazy and it's a testament to like the culture that you have there and the guys you got in the lock room and you coaching staff and everybody that in the season from hell, you still accomplish what most teams dream of at the start of every year. And I feel like bouncing back especially that must have sucked watching the Super Bowl and seeing what happened in your stadium. I feel like that might light a fire To an extent, you know, I'm not really, this is what people ask like Do you guys need to clear out your locker room and build a whole new locker room? I was like, well, you can look at it that way or the last team to play in our stadium won a Super Bowl. So that kind of seems like good Juju in my opinion. Vibes. Yeah. I didn't think about the locker room. I'm just saying like just from like watching them on the field Must be like the mean y a little bit extra hard I mean, it is what it is. It's a superowl at the state. it didn't really bother me. I know it bothered forty Honors fans, but like at the end of the day is We get another shot at it next year and we got to play at Seattle. They get to come to us again and we get to hit people in the face. So I'm just going to do my best to win all those games. I like to hit people in the face. Is Sam Donald coming to TU? No, he's going to Italy. Isn't that crazy that like and I'm sure that if he was around he would go, but When we when we went to Tit N U a few years ago, Sam was there. He was it was kind of at a crossroads for his career. He was he was there throwing passes to guys helping out of T you and now superl champ. It's nuts. like did you because you're friends with him, like I know you guys arerived him but you're friends with him, didid you? Did you still believe somewhere in him like that was going happen I mean, the one year I got to play with Sam just watched him. I was like, goodness gracious this guy's a good quarterback like his arm strength, his decision making, like I knew he was he's a starting quarterback in the NFL and then you put him in Seattle with elite receivers a really good offense and one of the best defenses possible. I mean, what are they a top two defense? likeike That's that's pretty quarterback friendly. So basically all he had to do is be himself and they win And they kicked the shit out of everybody. So I mean, like I definitely believed in Sam, especially because we're Ginger Brothers. Yeah. Yeah. who's throwing passes this this week in u Natro I finally convinced Brock Burdty to show up and he lives ten minutes away from me. So that's a plus. We got Brock Purdy. We got Mac Jones. so he's going to be a fun time. Make sure you have a lot of bananas ready? A lot of bananas for Mac And then we got Nick Molens, CJ Bethard and Brandon Allen. So three of the boys. goodood for of the boys and Brock Burdie. That's good' also a boy. Yeah. It'll be a fun time. I invited I invited Dack. He is unavailable. I invited Josh Allen's a mayaby. You know, he is a new dad, but I told him we're golfing at Trroubador the following week. It's part of the group He goes, o I could fly in for that. So you never know with Josh. Yeah. Yeah, that sounds like yeah, it sounds like Josh take advantage of the trip. And then what about on the defensive side Have you guys thought about bring in like Some linebackers to be like, you know, just boost some egos. like we're going to run some dummy routes again No chance. They want to do it. No chance Now now, you know, I'll say the only the only new position this year. we have Juices coming in to coach full backacks because so many teams now are playing, you know, twelve personel two tight ends and they're using that tight that second tight in it' a fullback sometimes. So he's going to come teach some of that stuff, which I'm excited about. We got my old titance coach, John Embry. He's coming in because he's taking the year off. so he can actually come hang out. He's been to coach who he coached me, Tony Gonzalees. He's a pretty good coach. And then we had Tony G up there. It's I mean, we have a we have a pretty good group this year that I'm excited to learn from. Yeah. what do you know about any of the rookie tight ends Oo, you gott to give me some something I'm terrible at rookies besides the giant orregon guy that went to the jets. I was going to ask S Sadk if you had an opportunity to like hang out with him before I've not met him. He's I mean, he looks like a stud. So hopefully Hopefully they just make it easy on him. becausecause the hardest thing about being a rookie is just like trying to keep your head above water. And if your offense is friendly towards you and they take care of him He'll develop very quickly. just don't don't do too much and make his heads fun. Yeah. Yeah smart. So he's a freak. So like just give him in like put him in advantageous positions and the dude ball out. Yep. Is Collson Lovelving going? He is He He texts me a couple of weeks ago. He was like, hey, I missed it. I figured something out I can make it work. So Collson will be there. I'm excited about it. I love that. Yeah's love. And if you did want to get just like some tackling dummy out there to work like you know, as a sccout team like I'm sure that Will Compton doesn't have anything else going on Will and Taylor actually. So we have an open stadium this year which I'm excited about. L it's free tickets. You have to go buy your ticket even though it's free. and Will and Taylor walking around with microphones interviewing people in the stands the entire time that we're tied to you. It'll be hilarious. Okay. But I was going to say we can have Dana out there. You can try to cover some guys. Yeah. Dana would actually be yeah one hundred percent You don't want to sign a waiver Hes going to sign waiver though. I don't think he knows how right. He doesn't know how to sue. O spell. Yeah. like he wouldn't know how to sue, so you're good All right, sounds good. We have this on recording. He doesn't know how to sue. He won't sue we're good. He can't write Yeah. physically does not understand. J Megadana. Yeah. makeake him take his shirt off. he'll be fine. You got this.. That'd be amazing. Yeah This is funny. I'll give you this one. I've been tagged in this for like the last year and a half. I don't know if you guys have seen this, but some guy is accused me of bullying U Who was your guys' old like rookie from like twenty twenty? twenty twenty one? He was like helping out with PMT Football guyally young guy Billy footbally football. Yeah Billy football. And like me and Gregor on we're like, hey, take your shirt off and I'm getting accused of bullying for making someone take their shirt off. This one guy just keeps tweeting at me. Well, that's very bizarre It' weird that might be Billy actually under a burner. if I to get Now if I remember you guys were like having a who can bench moreore contest. That's what it was. So I think Billy might have been trying to bully you and then You rebllied B Billy And you're like, let's see the packs,illy So I would I will agree that you did not start to bully. No, what he I would just say being like that's just that's a football culture thing. likeike you you just say nameam schoolchool sign a bonus takeake your shirt off it's easy going. It's just kind of a rookie initiation thing. Let's see what Are you guys doing like a rookie talent show or anything like that? We do every single year. I will say this past year was by far the best rooie show that I've seen. Our rookieies definitely put out this past year and'm I like our rookie class a lot. We have a lot of like twenty four, twenty five year olds, which is insane, but I think they're mature enough to handle the rookie show Wh who has the best performance in the history of the Rokie S showow Um We had a detackle last year, CJ West. he I think it was CJ West. He redid Nick Bosa getting pulled over by the cops. I love that. L he went out with like a fake caror on and he hired a police officer to come in and they went through the entire video that Nick did That was That was pretty funny. I thoroughly enjoyed that. He had the whole room laughing. John Lynch loved it U I got I want to play a game called Let's makeake some headlines. So I got two questions for you that maybe will get picked up or aggregated. You guys have to play in Australia this year We do. How much do you hate playing in international games Well, my only international game is Mexico City, and that was one of my favorite games of my career because it was ninety nine point nine percent nineers fans and we were the road team. So I'll take that any day of the week Go to Australia U I look at it one I look at it two ways. If you're just like focusing on the football aspect of it Flying fifteen hours to go somewhere else and being in a completely different time zone to play football doesn't really make a lot of sense, you know, for the health of players. but The fun part of playing like once in a lifetime opportunity to play in Melbourne and play in front of what's like one hundred ten thousand people on a sixth stadium in Australia It's going to be pretty sick. So I'm kind of more on that, you know, I'm looking it that way. I'm just going to have a great time doing it. The fans are excited. It's going to be a good time. Yeah. And I think we're going out like a week early too. So like we'll get adjusted. Yeah. But the player safety thing is real like when when you get on defitely is soccer fields and fields are not used to you guys like that field in Brazil a couple of years ago felt like it was the slipperiest field in the world. likeike That was crazy to watch. That shit is that that's where I get a little upset becauses like, you know, they preach player safety and it's like you're just not doing the things Like obviously, I know how it works, but it's like and now you see World Cup is playing on grass. like grrass everywhere put me on a soapbox fan. I mean if you can put grass in met life and in sofi, I think you could do that year round if you really gave a shit. that's my opinion. likeike the players, I think if you if you polled every single player, I would say probably ninety percent would hit they they prefer grass field and I'd say ten percent would say they don't care But ninety percent of guys they prefer to play on grass. And so it's just like, well, you just show that you can do it So then why don't we do it because that's what the players want to do. Yeah. It's a simple math of like the the NFL is Billions and billions of dollars is the most popularort we have. The thing you'd want to protect more than anything is the health of your players because when good players are playing, the ratings are higher. When you lose quarterbacks and you have a Monday night football game with like a backup and a third string, like it's just simple math is like do the most you can do to help the players. So we're with you on this one. Well, like at the end of the day, like what I learned as a rookie is like your body's your business And the most money you'll make in your entire lifetime, hopefully, is what you make on a football field And sos like, that's our way the treat. We have to be like safe with our bodies and we want to take care of our bodies. And we're also the NFL's best investment because when like you said, when like Patrick Mahomes is playing, Josh Allen is playing, Caleb Williams is playing. likeike that's great for ratings. That's great for football. And then when they're not playing, it's just kind of like a o, what who's on Thursday night football this week Shit. That's what I have to watch on Thursday night football. So like Why not just spend a couple extra million dollars, which you we we know they all have to just grasp all the fields. Yeah doesn't seem that difficult. Yeah. All right, my other headline is with see you and knowing like your dad was a coach Yeah Do you think you're going to be in coaching when you someday retire I cannot wait to make a hard nosed football team in high school in Nashvill, Tennessee. I love it. I cannot wait just to be up there and just instill grriit effort and hard work into these kids. And we're just we're going we're not to run the wing T, but we're run run two and three tight in sets. Yeah. and we're going to run outside zone and gap scheme down these kids throats. and I can't wait pause, but it'll be good. Yeah. can you can you tell If a guy loves football, just by like at T you, right? You guys aren't putting on pads, but you you get your hands on a guy. you know, you you block it up a little. maybe not this year with with your Achilles, but in years past. Can you tell like if a rookie like loves football and like loves contact by just getting your hands on them I try my best to not judge anybody until shoulder pads are on because like some guys look really bad without like, for example Charlie Warner. doesn't look I mean, like he looks great in shorts. I'll say that. But when he puts pads on, he in my opinion is One of the best rub blocking Titans NFL. likeike that guy moves mountains. He's fantastic. And so I tryed to judge guys to them, but you can get a feel of guys based on like their attentiveness, the questions they ask and like how dial they are and when we are doing drills when we are doing classroom work because some guys like you, they go above and beyond like we had There's been a couple like young guys in years past who're like On the side, like we werere in between meetings and like they come up to whether it's me, Travis or Greg and they ask us like multiple questions on what we just taught. I'm like That m makes a ton of sense Thomas Vadone. He's a giant guy. He played in Nebrasa He every group that I was in, he followed me around, he asked me twenty questions throughout the entire time. and I I love that. likeike why would you not ask someone who's done it for ten years? Avice Yeah Yeah. not. It's fair. I got a stupid question for a headline grab, Dumb headline opportunity here.. Yes. How good do you think Wimby could be as a tight end in goal line packages If he was only running a fade. Yeah, maybe. I think maybe I think Part of me thinks he would get the hell jam out of him at the line of scrimmage though. Yeah, you're probably right. he's skin and bonees. He's got no bace not a lot of base and also if he tried to run like a crossing aroundout across the middle I think is he's getting taken out pretty quickly Yeah. Like if you're if you're over six, six You're having a tough time on a football field W that you're playing unless you're playing a line D line. Well like, if you're a receiver tight in and you're over six six You' that that like your ankle to like hip this's a huge target for safeties to just run through. Right. And you have the green light to run through now as safety you can't go high so. Everyone some would say that is more dangerous. I think I would I'd rather get hit up high than in my knees. That shit sucks. Yeah. And there's not a lot that you can do about it. if you're going across the middley. You can't like protect yourself as you're catching the ball and when you plan No. And that's the thing is like grass, some would say like is safer for those instances where the cleat plants a little bit gives a little more forgiveness as you get hit. Maybe not as a tight in for Wimby, but maybe Maybe just as like a fuel goal blocker He' be a great field go rusher. I mean, if he put on like forty pounds, hed probably be a solid right tackle Yeah, that would be fun. I I don't know he's got Yeah. I don't know that he's got the killer mentality to be a. I mean if he just if he just did like the Trent Williams ninja stuff where he just swats and swipes people's faces out of the way Yeah, I think he could be he could he could handle it like LeBron would be a hell of a left tackle. Yeah. he'd be in he'd be a really good left tackle. I like that. Yeah. All right. so T you is going on this week as we're running it.ep. George, you're the absolute best. We love having you on. We got one last question for you Rowack question RHO B aK dot com promo code take twenty percent off your first purchase Q ip, polos, hoodies joggers, shorts. Rpe a thirty I get thirty percent. For you I'll send you anything That's a good answer. Yeah Rowack dot com promo c take. All right. I don't know if you've met Zach You might not have met Zack. Try not to bully Zack. Oh that on. Yeah, goo ahead, Zack What's going IsZach is Zach a rookie? Zach is he just he just finishes rookie year Oh o. so yeah, he's not a rookie. What what's up, man What's going on, man? than you for your time today. It's good see. Nice to virtually meet you, not physically meet you, but I was curious. I did see a WrestleMania here recently and I was wondering if you're going to go with an alter ego kind of a ring name But had to be complete alter ego and could involve your government name? What would you want to go by in the ring See I've been asked that question a lot and I don't I don't want to answer it because if that a day ever comes, I don't want to be stuck to the name. So I'm pretty I'm pretty open to it. I would love to make like a random like any league with a Luchamask on though Yeah I some type of Lucha name, I think would be really fun And I'll just follow Pentagon around Penta Jr. I'll follow him everywhere and I'll just be his protege. U Illidor mass is a scary sight I hair fun I have over ten Lucha masks from Penta and they're all over my house. L we have them on little like mannequin heads and they're just throughout my house. I'm obsessed. He seems to be like he has custom mininers ones. He have the Joker one, he has a venom one. They're all over. My wife gets scared of them. It's aicke way to decorate Is it see S to you. That's how I explained it to her. He's a smart guy. I like him. He is, yeah.itt Hank is it Hank Hank Hank. if you listen once a while, you might learn a thing or two from him. Oh, that's true. that love thatank. Zach is past Hank in terms of star p. stay grounded head. That's That's fair. Yeah like one thing I mean, I tell young guys and I tell older players is young guys Be a sponge, like learn from everybody whether it's good or bad and you can filter it out yourself. And old guys, guys who have been there Bter thing a two. the young gu guys another way to do it.. So like just ye pay computers old m. Good producing, Hank Oh, that's a shame. I. sububstation. The substation station This is The substation. Dam When he comes back, it's going to be D Allright, finished finish what you're going to say I'orry I already to stopped the interview. Ain's talking shit. Well just because Boston and wentined this year for the first time in your life, you could be a little humble. finish the sponge thing. That was good. I feel like alsoics lost to the sixers. Also where'd your locker room go, bro? and live shutting down That's all right, we'll figure out. Anyways.y we'll edit it in post. Yeah anyyways. So sponges, I tell the young guys, be a sponge. You want to absorb information from all the older guys, whether it's good or bad. L you can see how somebody does it the right way and you can see how somebody does it the wrong way. and you can filter it out. Hey, is this how I want to do it And then for older guys, also be a sponge because sometimes young guys teach you a thing or two all the time. Most of the time they're not the smartest, but some of them have figured it out. It's like I that's why when I'm in a hot tub next to the younger guys, if I'm on the field, I like I don't bring my phone to a lot of places because I'm just like, I just want to talk to you guys to see if I learn anything thing or to see if I actually like you.. So just be a sponge all the time Yeah Gice for Hank. M and Zach, hot tub, hot, hot tub it up. be a sp. seems more Hank seems more like a brrick is what he seems like today. That's fair. Br Totally fair. Br shouldouse. Have you seen him play basketball? Yes. George, you're the best. We love you and have fun at T you, man U thank you. I thought PFT was going to ask me if you was going to steal Brndon and I. Okay. so the question I was going to say the question I was going to say I've been on ten times. You're scared to ask me a question. come on. I know that like it's a sensitive thing because like you you like the guy. I'm gonna let you I'm going let you guys talk while you you like the guy and the whole rehabbing away from the team that could be tough on everybody. So I get that How How good is he still? likeike the last time you saw him play Like how how excited should I be to probably have him on the commanders The last time I saw Euke was call it week six, seven or eight. I don't really know But I used to make it a habit of mine to go out early in the morning before meetings to watch him drink becausecause he always got there early. And I watched them run over twenty two miles an hour and stop on a dime. He still got it orr at least, you know, that was a year, I mean, eight months ago. so I don't really know But u Yeah, you guys have fun with that, I guess. Yeah. thank you. That's perfect put. I'm have a lot of fun with that. Perfectly put Yeah. stillill got it. Have fun with that I. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you have fun with all that comes with it. Yeah. I mean, he seems like he's very active on social media, which, you know, that's a great way to connect with fans. Yeah brands and sponsors. Yeah. So it seems like this Once he gets to us Th thenen he'll finally be happy and every bad thing's going to go away. Yeah, you're right. I wouldn't be happy either after a team paid me one hundred thirty million dollars. I know that can be well the taxes in California you probably like, o, oh, this sucks I got so much taxes. Yeah. M money more problems right? Yes. So ye' take him, he'll make less money and he'll be happier and then he'll stop posting weird stuff on social media. Honestly sounds like a game plan. Okay, yeah. okay, good. Then we're all in agreement. It sounds like a win win for everyone. Yeah In your guys's opinion though I'm not going to answer this because it's my team obviously when do you think the niners move on Hm I feel like they have been hoping that the phone rings and I don't think that the phone's been ringing Yes, so They don't have to. They don't have to if they don't want to. Oh Unless this unless they just get sick of answering questions about them But eventually some you really care? Yeah you really care to answer questions? And eventually someone might get desperate and then the price goes up So it's a big game of chicken then they' playing That's kind of how I see it, yeah. I will try to ask as many annoying questions as I possibly can to John Lynch so he gets sick of answering my questions I'm going to I'll be doing my part I'm doing my work. Seems like a great player. so that my official comment seems like a great player. Yeah he's an alien for sure. All right, George, you're the best. We love you. Hopefully we see you soon and have fun at TU, man Yes, I love you both. I love I love four out of the five guys in that building right now. Hank needs to learn a thinginger two. Yeah. Yeah, stay hungry You know what Hank needs, He needs someone to like to hit him really hard. You remember like in traffic Thunder? he goes, Hey, hit that guy really hard in the face. Yeah Yeah, he does. Dan. We'st Dan of Beers. Dan of Beers isn't end there. No, Dang. Match needs to hit. Yeah Match hit him in the face. I can do that.

Please send all Mount Rushbore ideas, Teet them at Zach He is keeping the full list this year So tweet all of them at Zack or Instagram DMs, any Mount Restaurants you want to see I think we're also getting to the point in the history of the show that we might have to just do some repeats with a little bit of like We can maybe do Just like not not word for word repeats, but maybe with a twist.. Yeah. how many mount Rushmores have we done Aly it's gott to be a ton because it's ten years of it So when you see when you treat us your Mount Rushwore ideas, we Most of the time, we've done them But I think we're getting to the point where we could maybe start doing again, not like word for word repeats, but Sil similar ones. because we have this have the entire booth wasn't here Five years ago. Okay. So to remind every one of the teams It's going to be it's Big Cat and the booth booys. It's Pank and Zack And then it's just me. Now I'm curious to know about Hank and Zach and your guys prep for this What was your method? because I saw Everyone else was kind of like they were talking to each other. getting ready You guys seem to be kind of separate for your prep. Is that fair Well, they got ready last minute. We mean meZach texted and then we met. got on the same page. Okay. and We have a plan and a strategy. I also think it would be fun PFT if and you don't have to do this, but If we had S point in let's call it July, mayaybe the end of July There is a trade window where you could pick up one of the people from the three man team just you don't have to. Sounds like you already don't want to No. I'm saying just to add the element of like craziness. You could easily just say no. We can hang it over our heads. I love my team. Okay. I love my team. Sounds like you don't love your team, big cat. I the fuck up hank. fucking idiot. Great locker room chemistry. Trying to make it interesting that we like We've never done one verse two, verse three.

I like my team. I'm not at this point. I want to see what my team's got. Yeah. and then we'll see what happens if we're going to be buyers or sellers. I was try try establish it before so that halfway through the season where like you change the rules like Hey,'s throwing out an arbitrary date It's like he could Just he could pick up from you guys too. I'm not saying no, and I'm also not saying no to trading away people that are on my team right now. So if like you know, I'm not rush a trade deadline would be f phone'es always open. Yeah.

We're gonna go roast beef M most be kind of dry. I don't like roast beef. Okay it's probably the beame from Hank. All right. It's probably the dentious. Well, you youre probably that r. I kind of see okay. I know what it's going I actually like this. I want both of them. No, I know no, I'm not talking about PFT, PFT just doing a regular draft. I know what's going on Hank now has The fan favorite on his side, so he feels immortal with Zach on his team So he's getting a little he's getting a little You guys have a suuperid roseef. I said I like rose beef. You turkey you cant eat Zach said turkey was dry. I just said I don't like roast beef I don't Okay. Which how does that make me moral? How does that make me moral? How does that make I you feel a cockee with Zach on your side. What does that even mean? I said I don't like what I mean? Because I said I don't like. You're walking around with a little pepp and sh. Yeah, a little bit Tail feathers up Exist. Big time exist Uh Did someone say prosurto? Yep Yep id someone say Mortadeella Nope,ope, All right, we'll take that It' was a great pick. Ver good pick.. Thank you. Not a bad pick. Not a bad pick Not a bad pick hank. U I'm going to go with Chicken cutlet I'm not say it. Yeah. No ye. I don't want to I don't want to be and Vincecent Sheelly D meat wasas it deli meat? You can't get a chicken cutlet out of deli? Noat was the Mount Rushmore that was probably I think that open that opens up a whole new draft E that if that is allowed. Okay. All right, I won't do with that. But I understand I willing to give you I'm willing to give you that give you that pick. but but the rest of us can't switch to that sort of scene. No, no, no no. I'll pull it. I'll pull it back out It' Delly meets Thats a deli meat. It's a meat that can get at a delli. but that's not there so many we could go and All right and we're just doing sandiches for this is you go to you go to the grocery store, you go over to the deli counter. you're getting sllic meat off slicer. You're bringing the slicer out and it's like, this is your meat. Okay. Th then I'm going to go with Gabagul. Vomit. Gab G me the gabag Goo. Okay. The best scene, I think in history of the Spranos is when Tony announces to his kids with Carmelo that they're getting a divorce And he's like packing up all the shit from the house. And he's somberly packing up the gabagl from the fridge into his bag and that's all that he takes from his house when he leaves. And then for the last one How do you guys feel about tuna salad Not a deli meat. All right. So I was asking how you felt That's more that's more in line than chicken co. So for my last pick, I will do roasted chicken Okay. Yeah, that place. Yeah to get that you you get lots worst in chicken. Yeah you can get that for sure. Yep. U loveove my team Our strategy was two too, so Zach, I'll give this one to you. We would like to take Buffalo chick. Great pick Yep on our list. Gick. had it on our list. Great pick. A it on our list Uh Eleven didn't get picked, right? Nope. Okay one. Yeah So Petta. Yeah, great. Great Italian meat. What u What do we miss Corn beef cororn beef is that was really Stami similar. Yeah U What else did you have on the meatballs? Yeah, we had We had that That's why if you went there I was going to meatball Yeah That's why you were almost willing to give me the two discussions we had The two discussions we had was do we have to clarify what type of turkey because I thought we could we could just do a draft on turkeys because I like smoke turkey. It's a little dry. Yeah It's a little dry. No one justats it. that No one just he just eats turkey. He's tuned out now, so it doesn't matter. And then the other was the other was mes Memes was saying that you could just we could take anything that you could get at a deli. So we were thinking about taking steak and I was like, we can't do this. Like you go to any type of deli and you're like, that meat right there. Yeah which would have been What else got left off Pork roll . That's a pork roll this weekend. Anything? So good. What? What What's wrong? This we went thised being like How could this be get contentious? Yeah kept being like, I know Iical because I said roast I don't like roast beef Oh but it was also the turkey like you can'tat bee. ack said the turkey thing. No no, but you said you can't eat turkey We got this hang. You said you can eat salami, but you can't just eat turkey. No That's a crazy thing to say There's literally a holiday that my b I I forgot. I forgot that M Rusmos Kumbaya. I will be Kumbaya from here on out. G No ye. God forbid you try and gas slight me. God forbid you try and like I thought that was the spirit of this competition. ex Yeah I made a com comment and I think that you might feel a little invincible was Zach on your side Because I said roast beef is, I don't know No, it's the turkey. you can't eat turkey. No one eats turkey. But by are you saying I didn't like push back in other Mount Rushmore's? No. So then why like why is me pushing back me being You can'tat turkey I don't even understand it. I think it's more you just gota You got to be more coherent in your arguments. I don't understand what canand eat turkey means Turkey is a good deli me, but it's gott to be, know, you have turkey sandwiches. You got yeah, turkey cheese bread. Like eating a slice of turkey unless it's super fresh Not the greatest. Max is going to say he does it all the time because he eats everything. I see that. But like I wish you had said that. I would have I would have been like this is much strer try to understand it a little bit. It' much stronger lean me. I do understand it a little bit Turkey is good. You're talking about like like pepperoni, you eat pepperoni out of the bag. ver You don't okay. You now, I'm invincible. You comeome on Turkey. I didn't understand your argument He said you don't eat turkey. Turkey PP is not good A we gonna to get over this or no? No, Kumbaya. goodood p. No,. He's gone. He's gone. All right, so here's what's gonna to happen. Hank is going to go into the next mount Rush moreore going over the top Kumbaya out of frustration and sarcasm and then I don't want to be inv But then he's going to trigger himself into being actually pissed off by the end of it. So We're going to get another at least like twenty minutes of cumbayata. Good point. goodood process. Yeah All right, good mom Rus' doing. Let out Hamona Birico is really good. but It's I don't know if that I'd call it a deli meat Yeah. Frowning. Boney feels goodound Yeah. Bologna is a good one. Balologs Bologes. I'm okay with Bologoney not being on the Mount Rush for. Mordadeella is just the better Bologoney than. Yeah C we miss any of the Italian meats? I feel like there's so many We've got pepperoni, we got salami Mordella, Capacola Yeah, we got somepereta Oh Yeah, I think our whole list got picked. Yeah except for corned beef, but This is good mount Rushmore Exact how do you shink? Are we good think our team has good l. We're not our team has good l.

I'd like to apologize for saying Hank feels invincible with Zach. That was that was a out of pocket comment that was undeserved Thank you.
