We have an incredible interview. I'm giving it a must listen for sure. To all awls, this is a guy we've never had on who we will become.
He is a recurring guest now.
I think best friend, too.
Dion Dawkins from the Buffalo Bills had us in absolute stitches. Just a hilarious, hilarious dude. Great, great story. Must listen for all awls. We're going to do the Mount Rushmore of things that are not real in honor of our Queen.

We're going to do things that are not real, we're going to talk a little football, some, golf, some.-.
Tiffany Gomez.
Tiffany Gomez, Our Queen Things that are not real. Then we have a review of the Baker Mayfield documentary.
Johnny Football Documentary.
Baker Mayfield is not Johnny Football The Johnny Football documentary Damn that hurts for Baker Mayfield.
All Browns quarterbacks look the same to you.
Yeah, they do the Johnny Football documentary at the end of the show.
Part of my take is sponsored by ADT. ADT knows a lot can happen in a second. One second you're happily single, and the next second you catch a glimpse of someone and you don't want to be. Maybe one second, you have a business idea that seems like a pipe dream, and the next you have an LLC and a dream come true.
And when it comes to your home, one second you feel safe and the next something goes wrong. But with ADT's 24-7 professional monitoring, you feel safe because when every second counts, count on ADT, visit AdT..com today.
Okay, let's go.
Welcome to part of my take. Today is Monday, August 14th, and football is back.
So back football season is fully back, the preseason's back time to overreact to everything that we saw.
Oh, I have some overreactions that I wrote down.
First, right off the top Stetson Bennett, future Hall of Famer.
Yeah, he's part of it, he looks good. It actually is crazy that we're in a world where I was reading an article that was like, Stetson Bennett, who is set to be Matthew Stafford's backup and potential heir apparent? Like, what? Okay, let's fucking do it.
But before we do overreactions PFT, I know you were in Ireland.
So you probably weren't able to watch all the games. Let me just ask you a quick question if I told you that. A quarterback unnamed had a stat line of three for three 129 yards, two touchdowns. Would you say that's a good day?
I'd say that's a great day for Justin Fields, that's a great day. Just box score. I was in Ireland, but I did watch the clips. He was throwing some fucking dimes.
Air yards traveled. I love that stat. I think, what was it like? The 60-yard touchdown pass went like, negative two yards in the air doesn't matter.
He threw them open, he managed the game correctly.
DJ Moore had me rock hard. I'm okay saying that, listen, I am at the point. Now where it is, there's a line in the sand. It's enough, you know, back and forth. Is he the guy?
Justin Fields is the guy I've started hate bookmarking Justin Fields slander to come back to it later. Good, good, I. He can't. He could play a perfect game and people would still nitpick him, that's fine.
Three for three, 129 yards, two touchdowns. Yeah, I overreact, but yeah, the Bears look fucking awesome and DJ Moore, you are the best ever.
Are they putting too much on tape, though? are they showing all the wrinkles to the offense?
Three plays, that's all you need.
Three plays, three for three, 129 yards, two touchdowns. Pretty good outing. I went through the same thing with Sam Howell's outing. I went back, watched the highlights.
Did he go three for three? 129 yards, two touchdowns?
No, I think he went nine for 12.
So he had six more completions and he had one touchdown. And yeah, superbowl, I'm thinking Superbowl now.
It's the best time.
And the haters out there that are like, Oh, they're basically playing like a glorified practice, don't take anything away from it. Fuck you. Let us be able to overreact to these things. This is why I like watching preseason football, because you find a couple of guys that you're like, Oh, these dudes could be guys.
And then and then they, you'll never hear from them again. But still, we still have like three weeks of hope that we get to have from these meaningless games. So let me just be delusional.
There's nothing worse than the guy on Twitter before an NFL preseason game, that's like, just a reminder, this is NFL preseason. A lot of these guys might not even make the team. Overreacting to a play or a clip is ridiculous. Uh, how about?
You're fucking ridiculous and I hope you get hit by a bus. Because I'm going to watch preseason and guess what, you know what else I'm going to do? Preseason? Any bad play, I'm just going to spin it to a positive play.
So if if a team looks bad, if my team looks bad for a series, I'm going to say, yeah, it's preseason. They're the third stringers, who cares if they look good? I'm like, Wow, we have depth, this is awesome.
So we're the best team ever.
So so we can point at the stat. If we end up losing, we can be like, Well, I think the Raiders went undefeated last year in the preseason. If your team wins, you're like, Well, the Ravens never lose preseason games. The most impressive streak in sports going right now.
And they're con. Yeah, you did fuck up with that one. That's a reminder, Jake, come on, that's the one.
Take them this week. Yeah, so when, when? If your team wins, you can be like, well, the Ravens, they lock it in the preseason, they care about it, they're usually a pretty good team.
So you can spin it either way that you want.
That's the beauty of Preseason, is that you? It's basically the eye eye of the beholder, you just basically watch a game. And however, you need to get to a point where you feel confident about your team. You do that, you make, you make giant leaps in logic, you, you nitpick, you take only the good plays.
You just discard the bad ones. That's what preseason football is now. The other part of preseason football is watching other teams and being like, they suck. Yep, so I have some hot takes.
Russell Wilson sucks.
Well, I, I'm going to disagree with you on that one. He was not wearing a Gilligan hat on the sideline, doing interviews during the second half. That's one thing that Sean Payton was looking for. Absolutely no Gilligan, I think, his rules.
In fact, he had a he had a list. Uh, no uniforms off after you're done playing, no sunglasses, no Gilligan hats and no interviews. During the game, Russell Wilson checked all those off. Okay, so he might be following protocol.
But he sucks, he's bad. Uh, other hot take Nathan Rourke is better than Dak Prescott. Did you see that play?
I did not see that play. Oh my God, can you send him that play? It was like the greatest play that's ever been played. He's a Mack legend, CFL legend Nathan Rourke.
If the Cowboys wanted to be, if they were to quote Logan Roy, if they were serious people, they would start Nathan Rourke Week one. Yeah, what? yeah. So his brother was the starting quarterback for Ohio.
We had him bulging, he was hurt. Yeah, no, they're, they're mac bread.
Okay, yeah, he's better. Oh wait, he's not on the Cowboys.
He's better than Trevor Lawrence, he's better than Trevor Lawrence, that's what I meant, but he also is better than Dak Prescott.
Well, he's a higher number than Dak Prescott, right? Congrats on saying the highest number.
LOGAN Yeah, I forgot it came it, it it, it went against the Cowboys again.
This is fine.
So I agree with you on that, because Big cat, you'll remember last year I. I was more of a Justin Fields guy in terms of like, Justin Fields versus Trevor Lawrence. Well, I was not, I was. You're trying to temper expectations now? I'm not. I think Justin Fields is better than Trevor Lawrence, he's the best quarterback.
It might be the worst take. I might look back on this in two years and be like, you've said, you've said a lot of dumb shit on this podcast. This might be one of the dumber ones that I've said. Uh, Max Max Duggan had a very impressive line. Who are the stat lines that we always compare them to?
Like the, uh, the the crazy stat lines, where it's like the Josh Rosen's Josh Rosen, yeah. Max Duggan played the entire second half for the Chargers. He went two for three for 19 yards. Ooh, pretty good.
I like it pretty good.
Uh, you guys see the wild stat, No? With Max Duggan and Stetson Bennett, they played each other in their final college game at SoFI. Wow, that's wild.
That's crazy.
Please put a note in in, uh, the file to fade the chargers week one. Shane's looking at me, he's very upset playing the dolphins they are, they're not playing any starters.
They're not playing on any offensive starters. Julian Edelman taught us this lesson You need to play offensive starters. At least a few snaps as few series. It's disgusting that the C words are out there.
Acting like they're the vintage New England patriots, like, we want to take all our guys out and just give the backup guys a shot. If you remember how the C words ended their last season.
They should be playing only starters. When I read you guys all of my week one reminders, you told me to remind you to disregard all my, that's the last, that's the final reminder. Jake. What I want is to know every team that doesn't or someone else can treat me this. Every team that doesn't play their offensive starters for at least a series in the preseason, they're out, they're getting faded hard, hard.
Shane is looking at me just incredulous right now. Uh, Anthony Richardson is good. I do have a Cowboys one, a positive Cowboys one. Even though the third stringer for the Jaguars is better than their franchise quarterback, Uh, Deuce Vaughn is awesome.
And I loved him in Kansas State, he is, he is. Deuce Vaughn is going.
To win a lot of fantasy leagues. Deuce Vaughn is so sick to watch. I love the clips in practice of him that are basically him running in between his own offensive lineman's legs. He's just like when when you're playing Mario Cart or you're playing Super Mario Brothers and you get hit by so you hit with a feather. Is that the one?
No, the lightning bolt. Yeah, Deuce Vaughn looks like he got hit by the lightning bolt, and he's just like wiggling between everybody so fast he's.
Awesome Um, Jalen Carter steal the draft. I said it, facts, I said it.
I said it, he looked like he was trying and he was good. Uh, yeah, Anthony Richardson's good. He ran over a guy.
That was cool. That means he's a franchise quarterback in my eyes. Uh, Kenny Pickett might be MVP, that's another one he played.
Mike Tomlin said that Kenny Pickett needs to play more than a seasoned vet and he was very good. He said. We need Kenny to be who we need him to be.
And he was who they need him to be, and he played. Needs to play to the standard, which is also the standard. Uh, Jordan Love seven for 10, not good, one touchdown, not good.
They.
Spanked the bangles he threw. I read one tweet where it said that he, oh, he missed a couple of receivers. That's the only thing I'm remembering from Jordan, is that one tweet, Yep.
Uh, and I don't even know who wrote it. I just saw it and was like, Yeah, he did miss some receivers.
I.
Is that the same tomorrow? HAMLIN Yep, what if? what if? That's the guy that that girl was?
Yelling out on the plane, I mean, it's we're, we're going to get to Tiffany Gomez, our Queen, uh, for our Mount Rushmore. But people thinking she's a body double are just telling on.
Themselves, they've never seen a woman put on makeup. You don't know well women, women are tricky like that, they they can fool us pretty good.
Like, I can. I can look at the same woman in three different states of wearing makeup. Hair up here, down, different bangs, and they look completely different to me, right? But they're all the same. They're all the same woman, technically, but sometimes women, women be, women be tricky.
Yeah, no, and they'd be shopping, females be.
Tricky, yeah, but but it is. A woman can look different. Yes, true, so everyone's like, this is a D.
This is a completely different person, this is bullshit. It's like, well.
You've never gotten laid um. Arthur Smith looks awesome in his mustache. The mustache is perfect.
And he's jacked, dude, he's looks like you with the mustache. Oh, thank you, we're both good.
Looking guys with chins appreciate it. I was going to, Yeah, I mean, he is still thickless cage, but he is. The chins have gone away a little bit. Oh, he's gotten in shape.
He's lost, probably.
I'd say 30 pounds. I want to shape of his life, I want to, yeah, best shape is like going to this.
This training camp, I want to see him recreating the, uh, the a-rod picture was just kissing himself in the mirror. Yeah, that would be hot, I'd put it up in the studio.
So I did not classify this as an official PFT. Dream bet. You might recall last year, on a Thursday night football game. I think it was the Browns and the Steelers. I dreamt that there was going to be a defense or special teams touchdown, like a vivid dream. Put that bet in, it hit.
I dreamt that the Houston New England game was going to be, Uh, did you have another dream bet after that? No, I think I'm wanting to know on dream bets. Okay, and I this one I said was going to be 13, six in the fourth quarter, I was off.
It was 13 three in the fourth quarter took the under. I did not. I didn't put it out there as an official dream bet, but I am going to classify myself as being one to know on dream bets that I have not said were actual dream.
Yeah, C.J. Stroud struggled a little. He's a bust, he's going to be fine. Stroud boys stand back, stand by.
We're going to be fine. And Bryce Young, his touch is perfect. I am, I'm in Bryce's, uh, memes, do you? So we all walked in here. It's like, you know, nine o'clock at night, every I. I got here first, and I watched as everyone walked in here.
It was kind of like that meme, the teacher walking in with the with the, uh, the same shirt, yeah, same outfit. Every day, every single person walked in here and memes goes. You see the Jets game, yeah.
And so memes tell us what's what you saw in the Jets game? cause you asked every like, PFT got off a flight from Ireland two minutes ago. You're like, you see the Jets game, yeah.
The defensive line is very good. Will McDonald the first round draft?
That's what everybody was saying. Will McDonald, famous Irish guy? Okay, the whole pub was cheering.
For him, Will McDonald, Jermaine Johnson, Uh, running backs look great. Zach Wilson had, he was checked down, sally, but he did fine, okay.
Is that a? is that a new phrase that we're doing?
This year for you memes. Check down Sally. Yeah, if you check the ball down here, check down Sally.
Memes? I'm rooting for the jets this year, I'm pumped to watch the defensive line. Okay, I like that.
That's when you need, that's when you know you need ball back. I just want to watch my defensive line work. Yeah, people are comparing it to the New York Sack Exchange, but oh, people are just getting excited. It's Jets, Twitter.
This is good memes. I'm not going to shame you. We. We gave that whole speech for a reason. Yeah, no, I just need football. That was just funny.
Just asking everyone if they'd seen the Jets game, like it was the Superbowl or something. Yeah, no, it was a really bad game, too. Matt Corral didn't play great, It was tough to watch. Uh, well, he's not going to have to play.
Yeah, well, you never know. You thought Matt Corral was the next in waiting. He had some draft hype going in that he got hurt.
Yeah, yeah, I like James Winston. Oh, James. 92 yards, One touchdown, No interceptions, 121.8 passer rating. I don't know how they calculate that, but it sounds like that's high.
Yeah, he was really good. And the chiefs probably are going to suck this year.
Was there, is there a new James Winston workout video that came out? or was that a recycled old one? It's recycled, okay, cause I was going to say, like, I can't keep track of it anymore.
There's it's some variation of like his trainer with a wiffle ball bat, and then James holding like a ball that looks like it's filled with bees. And he's just like dancing around a bunch of.
Tackling dummies, he's saying numbers. It actually is not too dissimilar than the Proud Boys actual. The Nazi group doing their initiation, where they beat someone up and say, cereals. Yeah, it's kind of similar to that.
It's like I wouldn't be shocked if James was just getting hit with, like a pool noodle, while he has to name, you know, sitcom characters.
Yeah, I give it to week three, where James Winston should be the starting quarterback, I mean.
I think he should be the starting quarterback. Now. People are saying Derek Carr got too jacked.
Yeah, he does one picture of it that's kind of like, that's the car method, is his brother who? That was a miss on our part.
When we were talking about quarterbacks that were drafted highly, that became good, solid backups. Blaine Gabbert was the other one, Blaine Gabbert, and then David Carr. David Carr got jacked up because he knew that. Okay, I'm going to be backing up Eli Manning in New York, he's never going to let me play.
So all I have to do is just do curls all day long, stand on the sidelines wearing a cutoff tank top and look awesome. And that's kind of the path that Derek seems to be going on, where it's just like, Okay, just get the biceps going, yeah.
Too big, He looks too big. Um, okay, that was good, it felt good to talk about football.
Can't wait to overreact to week two preseason Uh, Shane Bushell better than Patrick Mahomes? Yeah, I'd say so. week two did Patrick Mahomes play today?
He played a little bit, yeah, okay, two for two, 15 yards. Oh, that's not.
Three for three, 129 yards. It's not no check down. Sally Patrick Mahomes What were you going to say?
Jake is week two, the old week three, where like the starters play like three quarters, or.
We're talking about that last year. Because I think I think week two should be the new week three. Yeah, but then week three is now the new week four, right? And week one is like nothing.
Week one is new Hall of Fame. Yeah, yeah, all right, it's all confusing.
Uh, all right, other things. Did you guys see Lucas Glover's swamp ass? Yeah, yeah.
I watched the playoff, he won, he won, which he deserves a lot of credit. In the water, it looked like he was wearing a reverse.
Thong the way that that the swamp ass just showed up, like on the waistline, and just right.
Down the butt crack, and and CBS did him no favors. They were like they followed him for about 20 seconds at one point, just just showing his butt crack. And that guy, I mean, credit to him because he looked like he had the worst swamp ass I've ever seen in my entire life. And he won the tournament in overtime.
Um, but yeah, that was, that was something I also I know. Lucas has, he won two in a row, he's won two in a row, right? Um, and we're going to be out there at Olympic fields this weekend, uh, talking to some golfers, seeing our friend Max, who he had. He had a moment where I was like, Ooh, here comes back, he's not out of it.
Right, but yeah, in this actual tournament. He was like, third and he, uh, hit a shot that was beautiful shot to possibly hit an eagle and he missed that pot. But that's not we're not going to get.
Negative? We're going to see him this week, he's still, he's still in the hunt. What's Rory? Say that? He's focused on the road to Dubai.
Yeah, that's what Max is on, too, yeah, the championship.
Of the road to Dubai are more important than majors to right. But I can't get behind as much as I wanted to be a Lucas Glover guy. Because of this swamp ass and knowing like any big guy has had to deal with this, any guy really having to deal with this swamp ass. Is why. You can't wear khakis or light, you know, gray or light tan in the summer. Lucas Glover Not wearing a glove is insane. If your name's glover, his name's glover.
Yeah, and I went and I looked it up. And he says that he actually would be a 10 handicap if he wore a glove. I think Jim Nance said that I can't tell if it was a joke or not. No, he's he. It was from an interview a couple of years ago.
He said that he can't feel the club. When he wears a glove, Yeah, it's like taking a shower with raincoat on. I mean, you got to have that skin on skin, he needs to wear a glove.
Yeah, he's Lucas Glover.
Yeah, well, I almost respect. It's like when you see a defensive lineman not wearing gloves, it's like, this guy's kind of crazy. Yeah, I don't know.
He probably pisses on his hands, like.
Moises Alou Yeah, he said that he when he when he was coming up, he would, uh, Dick Harmon, his coach in Houston, would cut the fingers out for him. So he would just to keep his like palm not getting ripped up. And then he was like, I can't wear a glove.
Like, I can't do that.
See, I've always wondered why golfers don't wear two gloves. If you've got one glove on, If one glove is good, why not the second? Like a batting glove, yeah, or wear it on the wrong hand? We should the two, yeah.
Teddy Two gloves, Yeah, um, and then the only other thing I had.
And you guys might have other sports stuff before we get to Who's back? Um, I think, as of right now, uh, I am ready to make my one and only drop from my dingers. Okay, so I wanted to talk about.
Wander Franco now big cat. I think we've made it by the rules, you're not allowed to drop.
Okay, so you guys want me to keep this guy on my team? You Jake, I specifically are you saying what we said at the beginning of the season, Jake? are you specifically saying that? Wander Franco should still be in the Dingers only league? No, he should be banned for life.
But unfortunately, it's not up to us. We've already done the rules. Okay, fine. If I had a vote, I would absolutely say, kick him out, get, get him out of there.
Okay, kick him out, all right. So I don't, but we can't change the rules mid season, we don't do that.
If he goes.
If he's on the IL, which he probably will end up being, then I can kick him out well.
You think they're going to designate him as injured for fucking a 14 year old, I mean?
Isn't that that's an all time injury? It's also all alleged by the way? uh, but yeah, isn't that a mental injury? Uh? I had Wander Franco giveaway day and if you were under 14,,.
You got a free hat. yikes, that's pretty quick you hear about this one. The hat looked awesome.
By the way, I'll just say that, yeah, it was a good hat. Separate the art from the artist.
Let's not go criticizing hats because of Wander Franco, what he might may or may not have done.
It was a good hat. Let's separate. Did you hear about this one that he just wants to get sent back down to the minors? Did you hear that? yeah.
So I think you're allowed to make this ad drop. No, I mean, no, we we agreed that for injury, he goes on the IL. Yeah, if they're like, Sorry, we're putting this guy, and we're putting this guy on the IL. For hopping on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane, then yes, you can drop them.
All right, can I? All right, do you want to make like a?
Provisional No, no, no, here's what we'll do, here's what we'll do, here's fair.
I will not drop them by the bylaws of the dingers only, which are ironclad. we'll never change ironclad, so by the bylaws, I cannot drop him. That's fine, that's fair.
I'm not going to contest that I'm fine, that there's alleged pedophiles in the dingers. Jake will stand up and no. When the media comes after me, I'm going to say my press secretary, Jake Marsh, will handle all questions.
What I will do is I am personally going to sit him, so if he plays and hits any home runs, I don't want to count it. Okay, that's fair, right?
Do you want a replacement? No, no, he doesn't know. I'm just personally, I'm playing, I'm playing a man down. Okay, yeah.
I think that I'm, I'm close to, I have to be close to bingo, bingo. With pedophile, alleged pedophile and vertigo, Mountcastle's back, like, what the fuck, yeah?
And I'm not in last, yeah, PFT is in last by a significant amount of points. You might be able to catch up now that I don't have a shortstop. Was he playing shortstop?
Yeah, yep, memes in the lead. Okay, yeah.
There.
Were some? There were some very funny memes out there about about Wander Franco. Uh, as funny as they can be. There was one. It was like, Uh, what was it? Uh? It was Wander Franco and Carl Malone showing up to the high school prom, and it was Kobe and Shaq. There also was one guy.
Who was defending him? Which again, it is alleged. But you don't have to be the guy who jumps in front of this one. Uh, but he was like, It's this is bullshit, it's alleged, which again, I agree that if it's alleged like we don't know any of the facts, uh, but he's like, This bullshit is alleged.
This is, this is probably a girl he broke up with. It's trying to get back at him and someone's like, Dude, so you just said a girl who's 14 he broke up with?
Yeah, and now she's upset, so she's dragging his name through the mud. Uh, listen, we talked earlier about how guys are stupid and can't tell the difference between the same woman. Sometimes, um, 14 to 18 is a pretty big four years.
Yes, so if she was lying, that's. That's what I've heard from the, uh, the Wonder Friend or the Wonder Apologist out there, saying that he didn't know that. She was 14, not 18. That's that's a pretty significant age difference right there.
Do we have any update on, like, the team or anything? Do they say anything other than I think they're? They're waiting for the facts? Well, he had a he had a day off today and they said it was a scheduled day off. Um, yeah, the other meme that was funny was the school night, yeah.
With Jonah Hill and Brad Pitt. And it's like, Billy, this is wonder Franco. He's one of the best pure hitters in baseball. His only defect is he's a pedophile. I mean, that's a funny me.
Yeah, it's good. Meme again, alleged. We'll find out more, I guess, but he's not. He is no longer counting for my team, okay?
But he's still on your roster, he's on my roster, he's on my il il parentheses. P alleged. I want that officially noted. Uh, here I have a statement for the raise.
During today's Games, we were made aware of the social media posts that are circulating regarding Wonder Franco. We take the situation seriously, we're in close contact with Major League Baseball as it conducts this due diligence. Okay, so we'll find out.
Um, they didn't really tweet today. Yeah, I mean, if it's not true, that's bullshit. Uh, but yeah, he is, he is going to be on my IL parentheses, P alleged. Uh, okay.
Let's get to who's back the week. Uh, Jake, you want to start? I guess you're sitting in Hank's seat. I know it feels weird, um, but yeah, my, who's back to the week? The N.B.A. Hall of Fame, Basketball Hall of Fame, you have the inductions.
What, what? No, I, I go ahead, I have something to say about it, okay?
I really liked Dwayne Wade speech. I don't know why were they doing the Basketball Hall of Fame at 11 o'clock on a on a Saturday in August.
I'm just saying, Are they trying to get the least amount of people to watch? It just made no sense, it was so random that the whole.
Thing was happening right now. The speeches always do creep up on you, you have no idea that they're happening until they get put online. And then, oh, that was today.
Yeah, like, that's what they, I think, that's what they always do, doesn't the Baseball Hall of Fame?
Happen in the middle of the summer, it's like Sunday afternoon or something. Well, also, the Basketball Hall of Fame does the Hall of Fame game. it's like the start of football season. It's like, makes sense.
Like, what, why wouldn't you do the Basketball Hall of Fame in the middle?
Of February or something. So the Basketball Hall of Fame, they usually they, they bring out all the inductees during the final four, right? Remember, we saw that when we were down in Houston? yeah.
That's like, it's the it's the longest Hall of Fame season in any sport, right? It goes, it goes from like late March to, yeah, like mid August, yeah.
So who was, who else was that?
Wade, Dirk, Tony Parker, Powell, Becky Hammond was honored. Crazy, that's not in the Hall of Fame.
Pop, I think, yeah, pop, uh, I saw, Pat, Riley said about Dwayne Wade.
Uh, he's the greatest Miami Heat player to ever play and this is not a knock against LeBron. Usually, when you have to follow.
It up by saying it's not a knock, that means it's a knock. Also because we, we, because we are sex positive both ways. Uh, Dwayne Wade's dad is like, he looks like, he's like 40 years old, he's good looking dude. I was shocked, Yup.
Sex positive? Like, if that had been reversed, we would have had to say something, so now we had to say something this way. That's your who's back, that's what.
Hall of Fame Okay, my who's back in the week is the EPL? Yes, English Premier League is back.
Oh, you started off this week and, uh, I was. I got to watch some of the games in a pub in Ireland. They fucking love that sport over there. It's crazy, it's.
It's like NFL on steroids for opening week there, so I'm just looking at the top of the table right now. Um, looks like Arsenal's got it wrapped up already. They start off one and oh so, Arsenal congrats on winning the 2023 English.
Premier League Table You also have a new short king, uh, pft Conte for Chelsea. Yup, he's like five, seven, but I think he's probably more like five, six and five, five. And he looked, he's so fast and he's so much shorter.
It's awesome watching him play, it's been a good year for.
Short Kings between Messy, U.h. Marquise, Noel Conti. We're back Deuce Vaughn. We're fully back Bagel Boss.
Yeah, Bagel boss, No, that was. That was a couple of years ago, that was years.
Ago, Yeah, we should just start saying bagel, but we should, maybe you should start putting bagel boss clips out being like, Wow, this just happened. Yeah, that guy, I wonder what he's up.
To these days, probably still angry, probably nothing good, probably still angry. Bryce Young.
Yeah, sure, Kings are big time. Declan Rice tearing it up for West Ham. We're looking great.
The Hammers started out with a draw very happy about that. Okay, and I was talking soccer, I was talking soccer.
That's all I got for the EPL. Uh, all right, my who's back? Also, Holland is just unfair, yeah.
Victor Holland Yeah, that dude just all he does is score goals, you know that too, but uh, this dude, Victor Holland, he's like six, seven.
All he does is score goals. This guy, this guy might be the best soccer player to ever play. Yeah, Jersey, Jerry's got his rookie card.
No, really. Yeah, he's been tweeting, he's been tweeting nonstop about him.
So hopefully he can make some money off it. There was a guy in the bar that was shout out to the Irish awl that came up and said, Uh, because it was Burnley playing against Man City. He's like, What the fuck is JJ Watt doing as an owner? He can't, he can't stop this Holland guy. They're blaming personally J.J. Watt for not being able to stop Holland from scoring, which I love.
Yeah, that's how it works, all right. My who's back is, um, random people going viral and having their life changed. So this guy, uh, Anthony Oliver, I think, is his name.
The bearded country singer who has gone crazy, crazy, viral Uh, I feel like his life has completely changed. And, of course, the internet tried to ruin it. All of us, like, very quickly, being like, who does this guy vote for? which side is he on?
Is he industry plant? Uh, I don't know. The dude's voice rocks. I watched that song probably about 20 times, his voice rocks.
He did do the smart thing of keeping out a couple of the verses, um, because he's maybe he's not Bob Dylan. Can I share? Can I share a couple of verses with you that he kept out of the song? Um, it's like a money for nothing type, yeah.
The best way I describe these verses are, Uh, Billy Football's Twitter trying to be, you got it, um, so, one of the versus is, I wish politicians would look out for minors, and not just minors on an island somewhere. That's that's strong, that is Billy football being you.
That's.
Very strong, Yeah, that's a good, good point, makes you think. And then the other one was.
Well, God, if you're five foot three and you're 300 pounds, taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds. Yeah, okay, he's not Bob Dylan. He kept these verses out of the clip, which was.
Very smart, yeah. I mean, there's Listen and some of the our best songs, like Money for Nothing and the Star spangled Banner. Sometimes you got to delete a verse every now and then make make it, yeah.
That's smart, that's very smart for him. Because, yes, the first thing people will do when they see anybody go viral is they're like, Okay, well, if this guy's not on my side, then he sucks.
Right, so let's try to figure this out. And he's the industry plant. Or, yeah, it just it ruins what was a great story. The dude went viral. Awesome Singer Song rocks. And then everyone's like, Well, we got to figure out everything about him and where he stands, and then we'll make a decision whether this song is good or not.
How about you just make a decision with your ears?
The song fucking rock, yeah, this song is way better than try that in a small town. Yeah, can.
We all agree on that. And he had dogs in his in the background, just chilling, and I looked up his other songs. They also Rock Again, not Bob Dylan, and I love his Twitter handle, too.
It's ain't got a dollar. Yeah, he, he, he is awesome, so I was. I'm a big fan of him. I'm not a big fan of the internet at large, but that's nothing new.
Um, wait, I had another who's back, fuck?
Was it Cooper flag? No, yeah, so Cooper flag, he's looking at Uconn, is that right?
Well.
He moved up a class, oh so, I think he's 2024, 2025. Now, who's in that trap class? I don't know, but they're saying he can go to number one. Well, that would be the last one.
That would be the greatest call and part of my take. How can you move up a class? Something with like, Oh, he's one of the September babies, Yeah, so wait, Uconn, Uconn would be awesome.
That's what I'm hoping for him. I'm going to ignore his entire season at Duke and then take credit. If he gets announced Friday, he's reclassifying from 2025 to 24, making him the new favorite to be the number one pick in 2025. We did it, boys, so bad.
We're so close. Just a reminder he was a Staples Games Kentucky involved. He'd be the first one one white Americans.
It's like 1977.
Yeah, Cooper flag out of Maine of all places. shout out Maine maniacs, that's crazy.
Uh, yeah, please go to Uconn Cooper Flag, we will chip in an nil deal. I won't, I do not want to.
Of course, you won't.
I hate you, you want him to go to duke fuck? Yeah, I would love for him.
Why would I want him?
To go to UConn? I also was just out of shock, like Max just chiming in there because Hank would not have been listening to the conversation about it. So I was like, whoa, what, okay?
There's also.
One more Who's back? Oh, who's that? James Harden is back? What do you mean?
He's not fat anymore, I mean, he's just doing the whole song and dance again, he said. He's not coming to training camp.
Oh yeah, no, duh, yeah, so, but you want him? uh, well, yeah, whatever.
What do you mean?
I I think he's better than the alternative, but I think Daryl Moore is just going to do the Ben Simmons thing. By the way, he's just going to hold him, he's not going to hold him.
What you just said is the most demoralizing place to be. As a sports fan, I've been there many times. There's nothing worse in a sports argument than being like, he's better than the alternative cause. In your heart of heart, you know it's not going to work out, but you have to convince yourself some way.
So you're like, Well, what are we going to do otherwise? I've been there.
It sucks, I'm just going in. We're going to do the whole Ben Simmons thing again. Well, it's all the haters out there that are saying James Harden isn't staying in great shape this off season. He's going to show up, uh, looking fat, slobbingly looking like maybe he's just been drunk on a boat for the last three months.
That's bullshit because he's actually working very hard. He's in China right now, uh, releasing his wine collection and try, oh, and he is on a boat, getting drunk in China. uh, yeah, trying to sell his bottles of wine.
So he is working hard. Yeah, he's working hard. Oh, I remember what my other who's back was, Uh, that lady's Rolex in Hawaii, that rule. Did you see that?
No, okay, so uh. A New York Times reporter tweeted out a picture. I got to find it. It's, uh so. Tragedy in Hawaii.
Like, I think 80 people died, like, really, really sad stuff. And uh, this guy tweeted out a picture and a story, which I don't. I don't blame the woman in the picture because, like she, her house burned down. I don't know where she's from all that stuff, but again, people died in this tragedy. And, uh, he tweeted out like, all right, found it.
It's, uh, this guy tweeted out on Friday. Alicia Stratton searched desperately through the wreckage of her, her, her Lahana home for the Rolex watch her parents gave her when she graduated college. Suddenly, her fiance pulled it from the ashes. You found it, she said, choking up.
It was damaged, but still legible. And then it's a zoom in picture of her holding the watch and she has a perfect manicure. It's wild. People are like there was deaths and the guys tweeted out about Rolex.
That seems like it is she married to Ravel? Yeah, is that Ravel's wife? that seems like?
Something he would do, I don't know, I know a brick watch would have found itself. Yeah, yeah.
Rolexes are back and it is very sad. If anyone, there's a bunch of Go Fund Me's and stuff, uh, I donated some, if you could donate, it's. It's awful tragedy, cause a lot of people who live in Hawaii who are not looking for their rolexes, they're looking for their pets or their.
Loved ones. And it's a lot different. It's like the entire part of the island is just gone, yeah.
Yeah, so Rolex is not really the paramount thing that people should be caring about right now. Uh, okay, let's get to our interview. Dion Dawkins, Uh, incredible interview.

So here it is the interview with Dion Dawkins, Okay?
We now welcome on a very special guest. It is left tackle for the Buffalo Bills, the man who protects Josh Allen. Dion Dawkins Uh, thanks for joining us, sure.
You, I've, I've read up a lot about you, I've heard stories about you. You seem like, uh, a great guy who's got a lot of personality. But I want to start with you protecting Josh out. Yeah, you, you know.
How important of a role that is? I think, uh, the role is important in itself.
I, I guess I'm getting credit, but I'm one of five, you know? So there's a whole unit of us that protect Josh, you know, if you want to look at the blind side, like from the movie and all of that stuff, then yes, I am the left tackle. I am the blind side. I am the whatever you want to call the hurrah. But yes, uh, Josh makes it very easy at times and also makes it very hard.
Yeah.
So when he we call it mashing all the buttons, when he decides that he's just going to do crazy shit, right? Uh, from your perspective, when he does that, are you like, Wait, dude, we can't.
Protect you if you're going to just start running people over. Josh is. Josh is a wild card man, Josh.
I fucking hate the kid, I fucking hate him bro, I fucking hate him and love him at the same time. Cause Josh gets us out of trouble and sometimes like, he's just doing his own thing and.
He fucking, Am I allowed to curse? Yeah, fuck.
Yeah, god damn it pussy, all right.
No, no, no.
But um, Josh makes us all have heart attacks throughout the game, over and over and over, like when the world is watching and he's running. And we're like, all right here. We go like literally the old line. We look at each other and we're like, it's it's going to happen, it's it's going to happen.
And then he jumps over somebody, or he runs through somebody, and then he hits the ground. And we're like, and then he's like, Come on, let's go, and we're like, you're a fucking freak, you know? Like, mutant for real, you know? Yeah, yeah, he is, you said.
You'd give up every last finger for him, I would, yeah, and you'd kill for him, I would.
Would you?
Die for him, I would you, I'd die. I'd take a bullet for him. See, let's take a bullet in my.
Heart Yeah, in my brain, I take one in the temple, right here or on the other side.
Right?
Here, boom, would I die for Josh Allen?
It's so easy to say, yes, fuck, no, oh okay. all right. no, I like, absolutely.
I would, I would die for him, and he's. He's done nothing but great things for me and my family. And, uh, I take it personal, like, I really take it personal. Yeah, like when when people do weird shit, I'm like, Bro, listen, just calm the fuck down.
Yeah, you know, but yeah.
You cut off every finger. if I had to last finger, it would be smart because then you couldn't get called for holding anymore. Yeah, not at all. I can't even beat my dick.
Just make it like a ham, like a dick hamburger.
Start nubbing the fuck out of it. it shouldn't be funny as hell. start nubbing the shit like you, fucking Josh.
Today's today's first day of pads. I got to ask, What do offensive linemen do when you're?
Not wearing pads What are those practices? Like? The crazy thing is for the world that's listening now, I think practice is harder without pads than it is with pets. Who? Because it's hard to.
Differentiate from the trenches when, when. when you're in the trenches. It's physical all of the time, it's just the standard of physical. Some plays the defense alignment to hit you.
And you'll be like, all right, that like, that's a little bit like too much, yeah. And then the next play we'll get them and be like, Boom, all right, see, we just got you back. So it's just like a ping pong thing where it's like, we might as well just put the pads on. So, but the first day of pads is always lit.
Um, it's always a lot of what I call fuckery, it sits up and down the whole day. Yeah, guys are usually nervous, but I take it where it's harder the day before. Pads than it is, because you're thinking about getting into pads, you're.
Thinking about being physical, right? The human body craves contact, craves it. Yeah, um static.
We, we, we, uh. One of our first guests that we ever had on the show was a guy that you you played with for a while. Richie Incognito Holy shit, yeah, and so I've heard that you and Richie are very close. He was a big help for you. When you got here, kind of, like, showed you how to be a professional. That sort of thing, which is wild to think that Richie is like, here's how you be a professional, knowing what we know about Richie.
What we all know about Richie Yeah, yeah, but you guys are, you guys are thick as thieves, right? As as as what?
Thick as thieves you.
Ever heard of that? No, you guys are boys, that's my dog, yeah.
Thick as thick. Yeah, yeah, cause.
I read the story that you're nicknamed the snowman, uh, which cause you were shoveling snow when you were growing up, and, uh, that whole story was incredible. But you messed up a game. And Richie Incognito came in the next day and was like, You don't snow shit, like, giving you shit. It is true. When that happened, were you like, Oh, like, Richie's got his sights on me.
Like, you know, a lot of people were scared of the dude. I didn't give. I seen right through Richie. I was like, You're a softie, you're a good dude, but you're a softie and you care. That's why you're saying that.
So, um, yeah, that definitely happened. He definitely came in and was like, you don't snow shit, you blonde haired motherfucker, like all type of stuff. And uh, yeah. But that's definitely how that bond connected, though.
Cause once I was like, you know what I like you, you know, like, I can rock with it. And, uh, he's been real. Ever since, you know, I've seen the good, the bad, the ugly, the crazy, the crazy, the crazy, the crazy.
The crazy and the good. Yeah, yeah, so your your story is incredible. Because from everything I read, there was definitely like a moment where your life could have gone one or two ways. I. I read the story and there was a stealing phase.
Is what you called it yourself like you were just stealing stuff, bikes, everything, everything that obviously don't steal, but calling it a stealing phase kind of rocks. Um, but like, what, what? what was that like light bulb that went off? Where you're like, all right, this is I got to stop doing this, like?
I have real talent, I have real things that I can contribute to the world. I got to change. Yeah, um, I went through a phase in.
College, too. Um, I wound up getting arrested in college for fighting, defending your teammate, defending. I read all about it. For sure, you were. That was a ride or die it was.
Yeah, um, and at that moment I said, like, you know what, I really just need to kind of stay in the house until I, you know, cross this threshold. Cause I've always been been told like, you know, like Deon, like you're a bigger guy, like you're really freakishly athletic, like your calves are humongous and and all these like weird things. And I'm like, all right, well, like, you probably are just a coach. Just trying to brainwash me and just tell me just so I can fit through your program of system. And, uh, after that and situation at Temple, I was like, Bruh, I could be a millionaire in three years.
Right, like, a lot of kids are walking around campus thinking that, like, Oh man, like, I'm at Alabama, bro. That is the best thing in life. But I had realized I was like, Bro, this is so fake life. Like we're on a full scholarship.
We eat in for free, our clothes are for free, we get stipends, and we're on campus with a bunch of girls and dudes and everybody. And just in this one giant mosh pit, and it's like, this is not real.
So I realized that it wasn't real, it was more so like a fake life. How I seen it. And I was like, if I could, just, you know, take a step back from all of this and just get what I have to get done. Life will be way more funner after this phase in life. Yeah, I mean, it's a great.
Story. It's, you know, a lot of people being open about, like the things they went through. I think it's. It's great for people to read about and be like, Yeah, this is. People have two paths in life. You were literally looking down the other path and chose the one that got you here.
Multiple times. Yeah, I'm thankful for the people that I had in my corner, like, I'm really thankful for coach rule. Cause, you know, like a lot of people, like, want to go to them giant schools, right?
Like, everybody wants to go to Alabama and wants to go to Auburn and Texas and Tennessee. But if I would've went to one of those schools, I would not be here today because there's so many kids that they could replace. It would have been over with. At Temple, it was like, Oh, Dion is really kind of all we got, so we got to ride with him. So, uh, I was thankful for it.
Like, it comes at a time and a place where you know, you have to think about, Are you a problem child? Or could there potentially be a problem? And if there is, are you going to be in the right situation and have the right people to you know back you? Yeah, I feel like that place is Buffalo.
Too, Buffalo is a great spot. Like, Do you like? do you like the cold weather games, you know?
I prefer the cold weather games over the hot ones. That's the correct answer from alignment. Yeah, that Miami game was probably pretty tough. No, it was the hardest game ever.
You know, it was, it was a. It was a moment in my career where I was like, What the fuck am I doing? Like, like, like, this is the type of shit like that can like, really like, kill you. Like, it was so hot.
I think there was only two offensive linemen that finished that game and it was me and Roger Sappho. And if he would've went down, I think that my brain would have told me, you need to go down to something happens like. But Josh kept kicking and I was like, Bro, I don't know how we're doing this, I felt like I wasn't even there, bro, like.
It was just like, like every play, it was just like just breathing and just grabbing. So if there was holds, there was probably a shit ton of them and they didn't call them because I was out of it. Yeah, you know, it was. It was like, scary, that's crazy.
Yeah, we were at that game.
The Monday night game that you guys had up here against the Patriots a couple of years ago, cold game, the cold game, yeah, that seemed like a game that it might've.
Been fun to be an offensive lineman. It was, it was freezing, but it was fun. Yeah, it wasn't that cold we were at the game.
Nah, it was I took my shirt off.
Yeah, I did, too. Nah, it was pretty sweet. Yeah, it wasn't that cold in the suite.
Yeah, 72 degrees, it's so cold, we're like, we're fine, it's actually warm.
I had to take.
Off my jacket, you want a beer? Yeah, right, watching you guys just out there.
Just having to deal with all that shit, man, that was a crazy game.
I liked it, I enjoyed it, but the worst part about it, wait, was that No. So I'm thinking about the Dolphins game.
Like, when it was snowing, they were throwing the snowballs. Yeah, that one was wasn't as cold. I think the Patriots was probably the coldest game of the year. No, the Bears.
We played the Bears in Chicago. Yes, now that was the coldest game, we had the hottest game of the year, and then to come back and play the coldest game.
Did you go to the bar after? With the team? We got stuck there, right? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
We went to the bar. Yeah, definitely, you want to thank me that that was you, yeah.
It was the bar, not the strip club. I don't want to get in trouble.
Well, fuck everybody who's watching. We were at the strip club. It was a bunch of shit. It was horrible. But it was. It was like probably all of six or seven girls there. They were all like, fucking three.
They were all threes and it was just like.
Here take $20.
Yeah, but I was the bar. FaCTs So I got that.
Perfect I was for a moment, oh.
Yeah, yeah, I'm such a I'm such a fed if you guys win, if you win the Super Bowl.
Maybe I'll get, like, interviewed on NFL films. I was like, this is the moment that your team came together, it was. And then Demar Hamlin happened, like the week later, also tragic.
Yeah, so that I think that might've brought you guys together more, right?
Well, no, it wasn't the strip club, I got to say, the bar, strip club. Tomorrow. It was like, a okay, it was a trifecta. we're all in there to win, you know, the trifecta.
The titties definitely took us there. I, I, I never seen some of my guys, you know what I'm?
Saying, All right, so you when I when we said, Uh, we wanted to interview you, we're like Dion Dawkins. Everything I've heard he's authentically him is like Sean McDermott. We've had him on a couple of times, we've just interviewed him.
Does he let guys just be themselves? Cause I think that?
Is such a great sign for a coach. You see me? Yeah, I am, I am a nut.
I am a wild card, he allows me to be a wild card, yeah, so I appreciate him. He does let you be yourself, but there it comes with what it comes with, right?
If you're just yourself and you're not performing and you're just a slap, then it doesn't work. You have to stack your chips and then, you know, handle your your business and then let yourself show. Like I was myself from the jump, but I really came out with who I truly was. Once I started to, like, you know, put my part in, like to this team, like I wasn't, just like, Hey, what's up, you already snowed?
Like, Nah, hold on, slow it down. You already snowed with your boy and then came through, and then it was like, you already snow with your boy, and then it just got already up.
It just got bigger and bigger. But like, you can show yourself, let that be known, that you got personality. Then put the work in on, like on the field, and then slowly, slowly, you know, just jab your like, your snow shit around the world. Yeah, you know, I love it, the snow goes on.
The snow goes on. I love your quote about.
Macaroni and cheese, too. Stir that joint up. Yeah, stir it up, keep stirring it.
It's just like.
You feel me, it's like an engine, yeah, and then they put it on the side of a box of Kraft.
Macaroni and cheese, right? Like, stir it up, stir it up, make it wet, make it wet.
Crap, that's probably low, that's probably why, like, yeah, craft, craft new, you know, just keep it nice, wet and juicy. I'm saying, like, like, we've all been there, like on a quick day in the afternoon, like with the craft box, it takes like five minutes or less.
Boil the water, put the noodles in like, but like in there a little shot of milk, put the little powder, nasty ass cheese, mix that joint up like this. It's just our goal.
They start making hella noise. It takes us in different places. But as a as a kid, like you were lit, you know, you joke about it. Put your finger in there, lick it a little bit. Nice, wet and juicy, you're like a soundboard.
Do you do any impressions of the guys on the team? nah.
Yeah.
Yeah, my, uh, the the uh, running back coach a little bit, you want to hear a little bit, so skip. Like every year, uh, we have a meeting. And, like, his job is to, you know, work the security of the ball, right?
So he'll, he's real short, real, real short, ball headed dude, probably like all the five foot tall, you know. And he walks up in the front and he's like, What's up, guys?
You got to work the five points of pressure of the ball and I mean of the ball. And then he just, and then he goes like, he's like, yeah. And then when you double that trouble, never toss the ball from here to here. You just got to hold the ball like this, right?
Just like this, and it's just, you know, and he flows, but yeah, I like it. I don't even know the guy, but that was good, that was perfect, that was perfect.
We should call skip, what's up, guys?
I'm scared, what's up? Yeah, what's up? You listen to him when he talks about ball security.
Cause you catch passes. I do have two Teddy's. Yeah, no big deal. I want to break the record.
What's the record thing is six. If I'm correct, I think it's Donald Penn, if I'm correct.
You can do it. I think more offensive linemen should actually do celebrations after a good play, like when they make a good block. Yeah, pancake block.
They don't let us do shit, bro. But you can do it in the end zone when you score, but you can't do it after a good.
See, I think it would like it would be funner on the line of scrimmage. Like, imagine if you cleaned somebody out on a pool or something like that and you can just do. Like a Jeff Hardy, you know what I'm saying, you know what I'm saying, like, like, some cool, like, we can't do that.
Like, there'll be like, personal taunting, you know, like, let us live, you know what I'm.
Saying like, you don't get no shine, you knock the guy out and they're like, flagged for making.
Him, feel bad? Yeah, you stood over him.
Like, he's on the ground.
I put him there like, that's what the game is, right? No, like, see, like, I'd be like, trying to tell people, right?
Like, football is like, everybody wants their team to win. Oh, we're going to go to the Super Bowl, blah, blah, blah blah, like everybody, right? It's entertainment, though.
It's, it's, it's, it's entertainment, right? like football is entertainment. We are at work. But like, I think that at a point, multiple people should be able to be eligible, right? Like, imagine if the center could, like, block and then come out and catch a pie.
Or, or, or like, if a left tackle could be in the middle of a pass pro and be like, Oh, and then turn, or like, you know, like that should be dope. Yeah, that would be NFL.
Is the NFL? Yeah, well, Dion, this has been.

I don't know she did. She made a really weird video. I thought it was a great video that, well, yeah, she looked great in it. Um, she like, apologize that. no apology necessary.
Listen.
If you, if you in your heart of hearts believe that there's somebody who's a not real motherfucker. On a plane, you should say something. If you see something, say something, right? If there's a Reptilian on the plane, I want to know. I find it interesting that we haven't gotten the other camera angle to show exactly who she was pointing at, right, we don't know.
We don't know it. She, she might be right. In fact, I think she is right. I've reached out to her. I said, Hey Tiffany, big fan.
Let's take a stand together versus online bullying. Because she's been bullied over that, she's been bullied over getting kicked off an airplane and delaying a flight for a couple of hundred people. Whatever, who amongst us hasn't done that? And so I invite her care to come on.
Part of my take and discuss it. I also, uh, I'm of the belief she delayed that flight, she saved all their lives. Something would have happened if it had gone off his plant. You never know the domino theory, right?
Butterfly effect. So Tiffany Gomez, you're our Queen. Um, yeah, I like her a lot as a person. I think she's really smart. Yeah, right.
I like her brain, I do too. She's. she's just something about her. I really, I really like her. um, I feel like I can trust her.
I like.
Her more than a friend. I can, I can trust her, I can. Just. You get a sense when you look at somebody, whether or not you like her, and I'm looking at her, and I like her, I like her a lot. Uh, okay.
So Mount Rushmore things that are also so strong, so strong, she's strong, she's very.
You can see her trap, that's a strong woman, you don't wear that type of cut shirt. If you're not strong, she's strong. Uh, okay.
Mount Rushmore Things that are not real. What's the updated? Uh? Stay on PFC with 23 and the rest of the team's tied with 21. All right, it's getting tight. I think there's nine times, right?

Okay, the order is Hank and Max become Pft me Billy. Okay, so Hank is not here, so it's just Max.
Hank is freaking out. Are you putting him on speakerphone? Do you want me to? Yeah, all right.
If we'll pick up, no, he, oh he. He's texted me five times during this recording, asking if I'm cooking.
Okay, okay, all right face timing him. Thanks on vacation.
For anyone who didn't realize that, I was assumed anytime he's not here, it's vacation, I just.
Also want to say that with with Tiffany Gomez. I would like her to be in person. I think it'd be a better interview if she was in person. And maybe over dinner, we'll do our first dinner.
Just talk about it first. Dinner, all right, here's hank, okay?
Hank's there.
Hank.
Hey, Hank, can you hear them? Hank? he's, he can't, all right.
He's, he's not saying, I think he legitimately just wants to listen, Okay, all right. well, Hank's listening being a creep.
I was going to ask Hank's thoughts on Tiffany Gomez as a person. Hank, What are your thoughts on Tiffany Gomez as a person?
Wow, yeah, we got, we got nothing. Hank wouldn't smash, put out the put it out.
Wow, all right, more for us. Okay, uh, one one.
Okay, all right, please update all the press releases and change it. Hank would smash.
Um, one one birds, not real bird. Okay, all right, a little unoriginal, but that's fine, all right.

Birds aren't real. Um, birds aren't real. Uh, their government plant. So you're just reading this guy's website now. And I mean, there was a whole movement about it.
Yeah, have you ever seen a bunch of birds go on? Yeah, it was a satire, yeah.
Birds aren't real. Have you ever seen them on telephone wires? That's them charging. I kind of like that, that's them charging.
That is the best thing of if I'm on a road trip, that's something that I will always say. If you see birds on a on a little cable and it's like, Oh, yeah, that's, I'm charging, Yeah, I'm.
Charging Okay, you've never seen a baby pigeon, right? Oh wait, I think Hank's trying to say.
Something you've never seen a baby bird, You've never seen a baby. I've seen lots of baby birds.
So many baby birds. Uh, Laurie marketing, There's tons of baby birds. No, you've never seen one.
