On today's part of my take, we have our good friend Joe Burrow back on the podcast. We are also back in studio after a week off. We're going to do the Mount Rushmore of Meat. Probably should have done that before July 4th, but we're going to do it anyway.

Okay, let's go.

Boy.

Now in the street, there is violence and lots of work to be done.

No place to hang out or wash in, and I can't game all under sun.

Oh, no, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher. Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue.

It's part of my take.

They've been about martial sports.

Well, welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings. Best Ball Week is here. Download the DraftKings app. Use code TAKE That's code Take for all customers who enter the N.F.L. Best Ball. $15 million Millionaire contest to get a bonus ticket and get a shot at being crowned one of two millionaires.

We're back in town, I think we picked a decent week to take the vacation. Because the one thing that you have to always be on the lookout for the week of the 4th of July is the Friday afternoon news dump. Yeah, and we didn't even get really one of those, No.

I don't want to get political, but I did that tweet, I don't know if you guys saw I quote, tweeted it. The other day. Someone was like, it's telling that all these people who love politics have just never been through a coach being fired before. And it was the most apt analogy ever. Because it is where we are.

When he gets that sad look at the podium.

And they are literally doing the like. He's going to give up the offensive play calling just so he can coach the whole team.

Well, pretty much what's going on is the DNC is saying, Joe Biden is our candidate. Yeah, yeah, we have. We have a full vote of confidence in Joe Biden, right?

So they're just, you know, doing all the moves. Everything's going to be fine, but we are back, It feels good to be back. What do you guys want to talk about?

So we can talk, you want to get that right off the bat.

Let's fucking talk about Brani, the dude, I don't know if you saw, but Brani.

Biggest four points in NBA history.

He hit a layup in transition. Holy shit.

Yeah, and and LeBron watching said, Damn, that's tough.

This is great, I hope there's, I hope there's some Bengals fans that are tuning in for the first time and they're like, What is this? It's about Brani, Yeah, I guess, about Brani.

We're just a Brani, James and Charlie Woods podcast.

Can I say something about Brani? I really don't like the fact that he's going by Brani. Why not? His name's LeBron James Jr. Just go LeBron James Jr.

Yeah, I don't like that.

I agree with you. The name is LeBron James Jr.

I I wasn't sure where you're going until he told me the box score thing, Yeah, that's weird.

It's annoying.

It should just be just go by Jr.

And also, it would be cool if he ever got in a game. And it was L. James and L. James Jr. right next to each other.

Remember when he wouldn't, he said he wouldn't wear his dad's number, cause he doesn't want people to know who he is.

Yeah, now he's just they're doing it.

So that's probably why he doesn't want people to. Maybe they'll think that he's not LeBron James Jr. That's true, cause his name's Brani, not LeBron.

Now they're just literally doing 69.

Now he's a guy that would just go out there and you'd be like, why is that guy on the team? is he like LeBron James son or something?

Yeah, I know that's Brani.

Just go, it's Brani, yeah, yeah, it's couldn't can't be a son.

Ooh, I liked that. Yeah, I, I got to take. About Brani. I actually kind of am addicted to how mad Brani is making everyone well, because it's like the updates on ESPN are like Brani.

How do they do all-star voting? Is there a fan vote?

Uh, yeah.

So what we should do next year is just we should try to get, try to get Brani into the All-star game, yeah.

People getting mad about his contract.

Yeah, that's great. Well, fully guaranteed.

Well, that was a big time. Uh, ball knowers and I. I did not know ball until I looked it up. But that is also part of the new CBA, so the new CBA has different contracts for second round guys. Tyler Kolek, Uh, who is a Nick? went to Marquette also very funny when Josh Hart, Uh, Celtic, what?

From Marquette, New York. Who'd you think?

He was thinking, Sam Houser, not everything's about you, Hank.

The other white guy.

Yeah, that was, that was crazy.

We talking, we talking Celtics.

Are you thinking of Bailey Shireman?

Yep.

Yep, yeah, just another big East guy, white big East guy.

Completely different player.

Okay, we're back anyway. Tyler Kolek Uh, there was like a fake uh uh Twitter troll started a rumor that Tyler Kolek couldn't read. This happened last year during during Big East Play, and Josh Hart, on his podcast with Jalen Brunson was like, Hey, can he read?

So every time somebody gets ball sacked out there, there's always like 5 people that never realized that it was a joke.

Right, they just keep going around with it, right? So anyway, Tyler Kolek, uh, did break the record for, I think, most money for a second round pick. Um, so he got, uh, what was his exact contract?

I think that, uh, maybe LeBron pulled this move just so he can write $2 million out of his son's inheritance. Yes, he's like, it's just 2 million less than I. You're getting this up front, yeah.

Well, there was, there was the bra. LeBron took $3 million less than the actual max he could have had.

He did do that.

It was like, Oh, he was just stashing it away for Brawny.

But I also think that in his, in his new contract, if he gets traded, he gets like an extra kicker that goes in. He does have a no trade clause, but he can accept a trade. And then I think he would make like $3 million, yeah.

He's, uh, he. He said. He'd take less. he then took the Max, or $3 million less than the Max. Uh, bronze sexuals are saying, well, he said, he'd take less. For the right free agent, uh, which then boxes them in the corner. No free agent in the right mind wants to go to whatever this iteration of the Lakers are going to be.

DeMar DeRozan didn't sign and trade, sign and trade, but he was probably the last good player that was out there.

Yeah, well, he. well, yeah, he wanted clay, uh, valanchunas, and they got nothing. Uh, yeah. DeMar DeRozan is now a Sacramento king, and the Bulls yet again, uh, mistimed an asset. But they're kind of on the right direction of trying to be bad.

Well, DeMar DeRozan, He. He wanted to leave the Bulls after the Josh Giddey trade at the Caruso for Giddey trade. Somewhat similar to our rule that we have in our Dingers only league, where he's like, I'm allowed to exit this team.

I must say that it's the N.BA did investigate. I don't want to defend Josh Giddey, but he's a bull now.

They didn't find anything. The first, when Big Cat told me that, that he jumped on. Just to talk about the Josh Giddey trade, the only thing I could think of was Caruso, for Giddey is a real life version of Pervert or Italian. Oh man.

And I love Alex Crusoe. We had the Bulls. Uh, Demar DeRozan is gone. They're trying, they're trying to blow it up. They mistimed everything.

I saw a crazy Demar DeRozan stat and I didn't verify it, I didn't look it up to see if it's true.

Those are the best stats.

I think he's scored almost as many points as Steph Curry.

Um, okay.

In his entire career.

Let's find out.

Let's find out. All right. I saw that I was like, Whoa, is that stat real? I'll just talk to the boys.

Okay, he has 23,582, he's played longer and he's he's played a lot, a lot of games.

Uh, and he was the number one option on Not, yeah.

He's scored, he has scored 150 less than Steph Curry.

That's pretty cool.

That is pretty cool, and he's done it the hard way.

Yep.

With twos, not threes.

Yep, that's right, the showboating old fashion.

Or, you could say, Steph Curry is probably insanely more efficient.

No, I would just say DeMar DeRozan is the working man. Steph Curry.

Yeah, but yeah, this is the. The Bulls are going to blow it up for the next year until, uh, the Reinsdorps are like, Hey, let's win 40 games again.

That'd be nice.

And they'll go back to that. Uh, what other we? We also had an N.BA news, uh, Kevin Durant, who got hurt, I guess, during uh, Olympic scrimmage. Also shout out Anthony Edwards, who said the team has to, everyone has to do it around him. It's not a fit. They have to fit in with me, not the other way around.

We should get that button.

Yeah, I mean, I listen, that definitely happens. Uh, Kevin Durant is someone who's very online. You, you of all people should know that happens. But also you have been on a good amount of teams in the last few years.

He's been on four teams, right?

Well, he's been on four teams and he's been on what, uh, three teams the last four or five years.

Yeah.

So, uh, but yeah, he. He said. Yes, it's a button. What else is going to get people going around this times? Oh, the journeyman is leaving again. That story's always going to hit.

I did now. I did hear that Kevin Durant was unhappy and wanted to be traded. Yes, and so I think that if you're Kevin Durant and you're on those sons, you want to leave, right?

Tune into Wednesday's part of My Take, where we actually will have the inside scoop on Kevin Durant's possibly being treated.

I hear he's unhappy.

People are going to think we have him on the show, we do not have him on the show. I think that's, I think that ship has sailed.

Yeah, LeBron would want to be traded to the sons. well, he wants. he wants all the sons, yeah.

He wants them all, and he he wanted. That was the one team that Bronny was, uh, allowed to go to. Oh, really, yeah, it was the sons of the Lakers.

Would they have to change the spelling of the name?

I don't know, but he, uh, he's ended up on the Lakers, it's crazy. Yeah, I, I, uh, what, what other?

We've got a All-star game snubs. Yes, now if I'm a baseball player and I get snubbed for the All-star game, I'm secretly excited about it. Because at least you get to go have like three days where you don't have to work.

Yeah, although it's probably pretty cool, I mean, it's, it's such a I always think. With the All-star game in baseball, it's a short enough time that you'd probably just rather be in the All-star game. Because it is three days, you know, if it was a full week, I'd be like, yes, they'll be every time. Um, we have a problem because Christian Yelich might be returning to form and he is in the All-star game, which makes me very nervous.

And he's got an ax to grind. No one drafted him.

And where is the All-Star game this year? I know, but I'm asking Max, cause he loves.

I was about to say it, so yeah, I'll just let Max say it.

Yeah, yeah, you were, I know you were about to say it, hank.

Obviously.

Yeah.

Um Austin. It is not Boston.

Come on, it is in um, Max can't even google it, Max, I thought you knew it, you don't know where it is, Max.

Everything's bigger there, it's.

Oh, it's in Texas, yep, Globe life. is it in Globe life? yep.

Yeah, listen, he's hit what three home runs in the last couple of games. Yeah, so it's just it's a small sample size.

Well, he might've taken it personally that it wasn't drafted in Dingers only.

Well, he can suck my ass, yeah.

We might have to tune in, tune in soon. uh, we'll have to stream that. that will be quite something.

Streaming eating each other's asses.

No, watching Christian Yelich, potentially making us do a stream where we eat each other's asses.

Yeah.

This is going to suck.

I'm confident.

I was so I'm confident he was washed.

He still is washed.

I like Christian Yelich a lot, he's a friend of the program, been a friend of the program for a long time. But dude, don't do it, you're going to get hurt again, your back's going to hurt.

Pete Alonzo with the home run derby is the worst.

It's the most.

He is the biggest loser in sports when the home run derby comes around.

It's one of my my all time, all time meatball, uh, sports brain takes that. When Pete Alonzo gets talked about, potentially for being on the cubs, I'm like, I don't want him. He cares too much about the home run derby.

He did, he gets laser focus, he meditates backstage. Yeah, he goes into like a little panic room by himself in between rounds and just focuses and visualize home runs.

No, they're changed it. Did they have fun? They made it fun, they refunded it.

Are they doing? what are they doing?

They are doing, Uh, I think it's swings now, right?

Or it's no, it's the same way. Initially, I think it's still like two and a half minutes, but it's not head to head either. But then they get five, I think it's four extra outs after they do the we need to look at it.

We got to look it up.

We got to look it up, I'm pretty sure that's, I'm pretty sure, that look it up.

Home run derby rules.

I'm pretty sure home run Derby used to be like the best night of of the summer. Yeah, it was so awesome. I loved watching the home run Derby. The old rules made it.

All right, uh it, they didn't really change it. I, I disagree with my own statement. It's still three, uh, it's still three minutes.

Yeah, I don't like that.

I'm pretty sure they get additional outs, though.

Yeah, but who cares about additional?

Yeah, that's not our problem. We want, I want it to go back to. I want to go back to 10 outs and guys taking balls over and over.

And what the 10th, the 10th ball is worth, too.

And you could just sit there and just marinate in it. Watch the dingers fly. Not oh, who can hit the most dingers? that, oh, this one lands before the next one, or this one doesn't land before the next one's even hit.

Josh Hamilton, Bobby Abreu.

There are no, uh, there, they did change. It's not head to head until the final, until the semifinals, which I do like, that's a little bit better. So just be the top four. Uh, three minute round, 40 pitches, one timeout, three bonus outs.

Now was it three minutes with 40 pitches last year? uh, or was it just three minutes? Or, oh yeah, you might be right.

You might be right.

Cause that's, I think that's better.

Some good podcasting? I feel like we're getting back in, uh, it's like training camp for us, We took one week off. I know, personally, I spent an entire week, uh, just saying, put your shoes on and then watching Paw Patrol, so my brain is mush.

I'm sick. I also spent the last week, uh, just negotiating with street vendors. Oh, my friend, best press, my friend, yeah.

In Greece.

I love Greece.

They don't pay taxes.

Greece, they don't know.

That's why their whole economy did taxes in Greece, and this is this could be. I paid a lot of taxes while I was. This could be totally made up. But as far as I know, and this is based on a Twitter thread I read a few years ago, in Greece, taxes are optional. And then their economy just crumbles every like, 10, 15 years. They're like, Hey, we should probably start paying taxes.

Their soccer, their club soccer teams should be a lot better than if you don't have to pay taxes. That's how, that's how you get all the good players.

I think they might charge foreigners taxes, but the actual Grekians, uh, they don't. They just. It's a it's kind of like a leave, a tip or not. Yeah, they're like, Oh, should I do my taxes? No, I'm not going to do it.

I love Greece, it was a great place, but I just kept thinking about Stavi when I was over there. Yeah, also shout out. Stavi gave me a great recommendation to go get a Euro in Athens.

Oh, how do they close the Euro shops in Athens?

Well, let me let me tell you a little story about how how Greece works. Nothing opens until like 11am, because everyone stays out until like 2.30am. Yeah, and then they open for lunch for like two and a half hours, and then they don't open again until like seven or 8pm. I was at a guy, tell me, Yeah, you'll, you'll make it there by about seven in the afternoon.

That is weird, all right, I looked, I just, I just googled it. Yes, uh. Currently, more than half of Greek households are exempt from any personal income tax.

Okay.

That rocks feels like a lot, and you can also, yeah.

How do you get on the bad 50%?

I don't know.

You gotta make a lot of money, probably.

I think it's a cultural thing.

Just like earn your stripes.

Well, it's, I don't know if it's cultural or not, I think it's just.

Seniority.

I don't know, I don't know.

No, I think it's a I think it's a cultural thing, because I this is a very funny headline. Did Greeks fail to pay 89.5 of taxes?

They're just like, if that's actually genius, if they say, what if we just all didn't pay taxes, they can't audit everybody.

Right, that's, I think it's cultural.

Yeah, that's good. Yeah, all right, stick it to the man, yeah.

Yeah, they, they, just a lot of them, just they do it as an optional. I think we should probably take that, yep.

Oh, and I'll be doing that for years from the front.

Great Tangent, Great Tangent, MLB All-star Game.

All-star game, Yeah, that's. It always happens when we talk about, like, non-football sports.

Well, in this week.

But timestamp this as baseball talk.

In this week of sports, it's always like the All-star snubs, which the reason I wouldn't mind being an All-star stub is because they would say, you get your own day where people are just mad and they're lobbying on your behalf, so you have that shine.

It's like an afternoon, and you also get you have to be the number one snub. I know that the Mets fans are mad because Nemo and Lindor, my guy. Christian Walker, Dingers only legend. He went back to back nights, hitting two home runs both nights. Uh, he got snubbed.

Christopher Sanchez.

Jordan Westberg Shout out the O's, Who who got, who got snubbed there?

Max Christopher Sanchez Even though the like the entire N.F.L. pitching is the Phillies pitching.

Someone asked me, Um, to ask you, Max, have the Phillies won a series against the Braves this year?

They've played twice.

They're playing tonight, they were. Were they going to win tonight?

I want you to ask that person the last time the Braves beat the Phillies in a playoff series.

Okay, I will also, since we're talking baseball. How did the How did the team pug end up?

Uh, we got slaughter ruled. In the playoffs, we only had a lot of our team was traveling for the 4th of July, so we had to scrape.

But everyone who was in town went right.

Everyone except for Max Max went to 12 baseball games last week. He couldn't miss the game on Tuesday because he had to go on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Max is doing load management.

I went Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, slaughter ruled.

Well, Hank didn't even show up to the start of the game.

I was, I started the game.

Oh, no man, where were you? You let the boys down?

I let the I told the boys I wasn't going to be there.

You told you gave him a notice that you're going to let him down.

I think Garrett Stubbs recognized me.

Do we have a question already?

I think we did, I think, I think we mentioned it, yep.

Cut this.

Wait, we didn't talk about this.

I think we did Max Max, Gilnett said. Phillies said, Let's go, no, no, no.

This is something different.

Oh, right, that's what we talked about.

Yeah, this is different. Max had got a wink, so we're on the dugout.

Okay, nice, so we're on show number two in a row of Max screaming at Phillies, and maybe they recognize him.

No, I didn't even scream at him this time.

Did he or did he not? Did they or did they not recognize Max? I honestly don't know. This is now two shows in a row.

Cause he looked at me, gave me a nod, winked. And then he. And then he started going like this and saying, drive the boat or like, Are you driving the boat? And I was like, what? I couldn't picture what that meant.

Yes, he thought you were hank, yeah.

I think he thought I was hank.

Yeah.

Oh, he thought, Duck boat.

Or maybe the duck, or I thought, yeah, or I thought maybe he was referencing the story of the beer Olympics.

Ah, got it, I don't know.

I think he was saying, it'd be a real shame if you crashed your boat.

Yeah, maybe.

Which was not you.

Yeah, yeah.

So the Phillies think that you're Hank.

That's cool.

That hurt.

Is that a win for Hank?

Oh, that's a huge win for Hank.

Yeah.

And smart by them.

They're like, they see a guy and they're like, that guy's somehow related to PMT.

Oh, it's Hank. Wow, your hair grew back real fast, hank.

Yeah, that's tough, and you're sitting with a little baby bib in the booth right now, having to go through cause you texted me very excited.

Well, yeah.

I didn't really understand.

He was getting slaughtered, Max was getting winks that were for hank.

Kinda.

Who from the Phillies is in the All-Star game?

It is Bryce Harper, Trey Turner, Ranger Suarez, Zach Wheeler, Matt Strom.

No Casillanos.

Casillanos is not.

Casillanos in the homerun derby would be awesome because it'd be just tragedy after tragedy, after tragedy happening somewhere.

Alec Boehm also Hoffman.

What's that hank?

It'd be like a bombing somewhere.

Yeah, yeah.

It would just be the worst.

Terrorist attack happens.

A terrorist attack slash like tornado.

Like World War II.

Sharknado happened.

All of these things happened at the same time. Okay, what else that was great? MLB talk boys?

It was really good.

I really.

NHL Free Agency.

Sure, I said my piece. I think the Blackhawks did a good job.

I think the Caps did a wonderful job as well. Celebrini He's doing stuff, I think he signed his contract. Yep, that's cool.

No, that wasn't going to be my take, I was thinking about it. There are some jerseys and I like the jersey in general, but the San Jose Sharks, they had a picture of him in the Sharks jersey. I was like, this isn't a real franchise.

It looks kind of like a 1990s video game, yeah.

It's like, let's make a franchise. I don't know, you just put on the....

Well, the ducks kind of had that vibe going for them when they were the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. Yeah, and then they just switched it up and now they look like a real hockey team, yeah.

So good luck to Celebrini, he's going to be great. Yeah, I'm trying to think, what other big stories? Michael Rubin's White Party?

Yeah, we were there.

No one except the people there.

We were definitely there.

So sick, that was so sick.

Ah man.

Joe Burrow was there.

Was he? yeah?

He had a sleeveless white button-down shirt.

Good for Joe, and we'll get into this with Joe when we talk to him. But going into the interview, I was a little worried that Joe's gone. Hollywood on us.

Yeah, you said that to me before.

Yeah, I was a little bit worried. I can confirm that Joe Burrow's still as cool as he ever was.

Yeah, he's not Hollywood.

He's the man.

He's still cool. Tom Brady got picked off by Damar Hamlin on the beach.

Oh, really.

Okay, let's because we're doing some loose podcasting right now. There's not a lot going on in the sports world.

Maybe come back player of the year next year for Damar.

Well, we're feeling our way back into the podcasting game.

I think if he plays his cards right for a long time, forever, yeah.

Okay, good for him, I'm not judging him, It's just like I saw him pick off Brady. I was like, Oh, shit, is that? Damar Hamlin? Yeah.

I have no idea.

He doesn't get a straight invite. He's like, Ruben, like, Ruben's like, Oh yeah, Grant, you can come, can you? Can you like, just park a couple of cars before and then you're at, you're welcome to come in.

Maybe someone's plus one.

Yeah, yeah, who's he dating?

I don't know.

Yeah, he didn't even get a tribute video, and he's getting a white party invite. everybody at the White party should be somebody that gets a tribute video.

But I like, I like the Grant Williams there just because it's very funny to see him pop up and Damar good for him. Keep doing it.

You think, Tom, let him pick that off.

I don't know, I feel like Tom Brady was pissed. Yeah, I feel like anytime Tom Brady has a football in his hand, he's like, Am I back?

Yeah.

Like, Am I, am I going to do this?

Those are the VP of the Players Association. So maybe he's just a great who people person, I don't know.

Oh, is he? Yeah, oh okay, so that might be why, yeah.

Um, wait, so who's the president? is that Chris Paul?

I think so.

No, it's C.J. McCollum, I think.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

That's right, uh, yeah, that that white party that was cool, that was, that was really, really cool.

So, in all honesty, I think this was the first time that the White Party happened. That I thought to myself, I, I never, ever want to be there.

No, I cause it was also like, what you'd? If we were in that, we would know some people, but I think we'd get a lot of people. Being like, those guys are way too ugly to be here.

Yeah, I would definitely stick out, I would probably be asked to leave the second I stepped in, yeah.

And I'd spill, I'd spill on myself instantly.

Yeah, and it's a white party, right?

Right, so there's, there's no chance that you would be able to say it was embiid there. Oh yeah, oh, of course.

Meek Mill was there holding the UH trophy.

Drake looked sad. I saw one picture, he kind of looks sad. Yeah, he's, he's gotta have going for worst summer ever.

DRAKE Yeah, well, he had the video, uh, Kendrick Lamar's video for Not Like us came out and then.

While he was at.

While he was at the White Party, which is, and then everyone's watching the video while he's at the White Party. And then DeMar DeRozan came out when the When the Kings introduced him to Not Like us. So it's just gonna. That song is just going to be around for the entire, so probably much longer than that.

Yeah, good for the White Party.

I don't think Embiid was there.

I don't think so either.

Cause he should be, yeah, he, he's been.

But, like, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker were there.

Kevin Durant got hurt.

Well, I know the White Party happened before he got hurt.

Oh, fuck.

So when did you think they did the White Party?

I don't know.

We do, speaking. Speaking of white parties, we've got an update here from Chet Hanks.

Oh, yes.

White Boys Summer was created to be fun, playful, and a celebration of fly white boys who love beautiful queens of every race. Anything else that it has been twisted into to support any kind of hate or bigotry against any group of people is deplorable and I condemn it. I hope that we can all spread love to each other and treat each other with kindness and dignity.

People trying to co-opt White Party.

Yeah, white boy, summer was supposed to be positive.

White, white, white boy. Summer. Yeah, that's yeah, don't, don't take it away, um?

I don't think a beat was there anymore.

Okay, was Tatum there?

I brought the trophy.

He did.

Because he doesn't have aura, if he doesn't have a trophy, yeah, that's actually sad. Like the fact that he brought that as a hank, you have to admit the fact that he brings the trophy with him.

Yeah, hockey players would never.

It's me that's different, the Stanley Cup is different.

He's like a guy who gets a puppy trying to get a chick.

Yeah.

I mean, if you guys want NBA Championship, you do the same thing.

It's me remember NBA champion Jason Taylor.

I would never bring the trophy anywhere, ever.

Yeah, you wouldn't like, follow the trophy around.

That's the Stanley Cup, got it? difference got me.

Also, you can drink.

That's the best trophy in sports.

You can drink out of the Stanley cup. What do you use? The NBA, the Larry O'Brien for a giant dildo?

You think anyone's ever brought around the Lombardi trophy? People don't just bring that around. Absolutely, that's not like a traveling trophy, no?

I also don't think that you guys are arguing that you guys have aura. Like, if if the argument is more of Big Cat or Jason Tatum, that is not a good sign for.

Jason Tatum Yeah, and also I, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But the fact that you, that you're walking into a party with the N.B.A. Championship trophy, it's like, Hey, remember me guys, yeah.

Hey, to finish off the baseball talk, there is no worse trophy than than the World Series. that trophy stinks.

Yeah, it's a bad trophy.

That trophy is just literally like, Hey, how can we make a trophy that looks like it's going to break at any moment.

The coolest part about that trophy was when George Costanza dragged it around the parking lot and it broke everywhere. And I was like, Yes, that's what I want to see, that trophy do, it really is.

It's it's really a blowout when you go from like the Stanley Cup to the World Series, like the World Series trophy. The problem with it is it it looks cool if it's in a glass container, but to actually celebrate with it, you can't celebrate with it.

Right, I can't do anything, you're going to fall down and hurt yourself with it.

Yeah, you're going to break one of those flags.

I would say the crystal ball that they used to have for, uh, for college football. Yep, great trophy, that was a great bring that trophy back.

That was a great trip.

I'd put that at power ranking number two, actually.

We should do a mount Rushmore.

I think we have trophies.

Yeah, but just be like, Well, you get one pick.

Okay, you want to do impromptu?

Okay.

All right, I'll go first Stanley Cup.

Uh, lombardi.

Larry O'Brien.

Low man.

Oh, good pander pick.

That was a good pander pick.

Yeah.

That was a good pander. Pick memes.

Memes panicking?

World series, World series, still there memes, World series.

No, not a trophy, not a trophy.

What about, like, a rivalry trophy, like, yeah.

PAUL BuNYaN Yeah, yep, that's a good pick.

Oh, we could actually do this.

Avianne.

All right, we'll do this, do this at some point. Yeah, no, we absolutely could do this.

I think we covered all the sports.

I think we got everything. Yeah, yeah, all right, let's do.

My who's back of the week is is wild.

Okay.

Shout out to Jake. I saw, I saw a very, I saw a very wild stat today. Speaking of golf. Uh, uh, don't. What are you gonna do?

All right, go ahead.

This is wild.

Well, we'll be the judge of that.

Is it what is your stat about?

Living.

Oh, okay, I thought you were going to talk about that stat that's going around, that's very mean. That just has every single Chicago sports team ranked this past year and they're all in last place.

I wasn't, I'm pro Chicago, I want Chicago Sports to be well.

It's a very uh, it's uh Bears last NFC North Bulls fourth Central Division, Cubs last NLC Central or N.L. Central. Uh Blackhawks last Central Division, White Sox.

Interesting, they don't have the draft order on there, though.

That's true. Number one pick Bulls had the 11th, Blackhawks had the second.

Hank, are you gonna address the necklace?

Oh yeah, I got my, uh, my Jalen Brown necklace it, uh, I'm bio streaming chemicals into my, you know, insides without having the side effects of things like caffeine, so I get all the effects of them.

You don't like coffee.

It uses small, uh, musical frequencies to activate the cells.

Is that the buzzing we hear? It's nanobots.

No.

Okay.

But yeah, it's awesome, all right. So what you should? You should get one PT.

I do want one very much. Can I, can I get a hit of it?

You want some streams?

You look like, honestly, it looks cool, it looks stylish, kind of like a dog shock collar, though.

Yeah, dog shock collar. Uh, yeah, it looks like some type of, um, I keep thinking. It's a visor that you're going to put on the in the picture on the thing. Like they had in the brochure. They had a lady that wore it like this, I don't know how you tighten it, but she had it around her head.

Oh, your hair grows fast. I hate dogs, you don't let me get a hit, let me get it.

So what's your stat? It's not the insults that did. Yes, I got. I saw everyone tag me saying, Don't let me see this.

I saw it many times.

For the last three years, each winner of the John Deere Classic has stayed in the same rental home in Illinois, whoa officially the Trophy house. Davis, Thompson, Sepp, Straka, J.T. Poston.

How do you get this over your head?

In the same, in the same exact place.

Same rental home.

Holy shit.

That's wild, right?

That is wild.

Big tournament, a lot of big field. We're pretty random golfers.

That was about life, what you said, it was about life, the stat, I said, wild.

I said, golf.

Oh, golf.

So how much is that?

Oh, I think you said life, but you meant to say golf.

I think you said living.

Yeah, I think you said living, and you meant to say golf.

Or living in the house, I don't know.

No, I think you life is golf synonymous for you.
