Hot Ones Host Sean Evans, Mt Rushmore Of Guys Not To Mess With, Wyndham Clark Wins The Us Open And The Suns Are Making Another Super Team

Hey, Part of my Take Listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon. On today's Part of My Take, we have an incredible interview with a good friend of ours, Sean Evans, from Hot Ones. In Studio. Sean is a huge awl. We talk about his career, talk, a little deep seeded, like part of my take history, and like his favorite moments.

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

No place to hang out or wash in. And then I can't name all on the sun. Oh no, we're going to run down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher.

Oh, we're going to run down to Barton. My trade is ended by Barstool Sports.

Welcome to part of my take. Today is Monday, June 19th and Wyndham Clark has won the U S Open. Wyndham Clark has won the U S. Open. PFT. When we had a final four of Ricky Fowler, Rory McIlroy and Scotty Schaeffler.

Big dub for Colorado Everything's coming up Colorado these days. Yeah, he's a he is the U. S. Open champion, there was a great leaderboard.

Yeah, it was so soft that Ricky Fowler, who had the lead up until maybe the worst announcers jinx of all time on Saturday night. When he had, like, a four footer to have wire to wire start to finish in the first three rounds lead, he misses that, but Ricky Fowler, who? I think what he finished, he ended up finishing fourth. He broke the U. S Open record for birdies.

Yeah, I mean, we saw in the PGA Championship the bunkers there were literally eating golf balls. If you get a ball embedded in a bunker at the PGA, that ball's gone. Sorry, Rory gets his ball embedded.

Yeah, something like that.

The ball was embedded in the side of the bunker. And then Rory calls a rules official over and they're like, Oh well, good news. You can just reach your hand in, pull the ball out and then take a drop a club length away. Oh yeah, you can actually put that on the green.

Also like, maybe plant some more trees. L.A. Country Club.

The brankos, which is basically just like a dried up piece of dirt that's on the side of a fairway. I didn't see any creeks out there, I didn't see any lakes and see trees getting in the way. I don't like to say I disavow.

Yeah, and now so we have Wyndham Clark was. He deserves it. He was like, as everyone, Scotty never really got it going in the in. In the final round, Rory just couldn't hit like that, one or two putts to put them through, like he kept on going pars. It felt actually reminiscent of the British Open or the Open Championship last year. When it was like, if he could just get one of these pots to fall and get a little positive momentum, he can win this tournament.

2014.

2014 is Rory?

Oh, hey, Hank, is Rory a choker?

So big cat, I was about to ask you this because it's been so long. I think if you go 10 years without winning a major, the narrative goes back, and now it's Rory will never win a major championship. He doesn't have the clutch gene.

Like, Imagine 2014, you said, Hey, we'll be in 2023 and Brooks.

I Yeah, I think if he finishes this, if he doesn't win a major, if he doesn't win the Open Championship this year, then I think started next season, Rory will never win a major championship. It goes back to that conversation, and Hank and I were talking about this earlier. Uh, we have now officially activate ourselves into Brooks legacy defense mode. So when it became clear that Ricky Fowler wasn't going to win, uh. We just started rooting against anybody who already had a major championship, correct? Because we don't want anybody to catch up to Brooks.

Yes, no, no, you like Rory winning there and then now it's the five club he he joins it.

No, I'm saying the world was rooting for Ricky Fowler.

Oh, yes, that's what I'm saying. The world, Yeah, the world was rooting for Ricky Fowler.

And I do blame.

That was the course's fault, he was the court, It was the course fault. It was the night, the fact that they they were playing, it was so fucking dark. When they were playing on Saturday, the whole tournament was a joke, a joke.

Jay I usually like real Quick jig. I usually like West Coast golf. Because it means that we get to watch the in primetime at night. And that feels awesome if you're on the East Coast coast. Getting to watch. Like the end of a of a U S open. When you know you look outside and the the the moon's already out, you know, that's a that's a cool feeling in this guy.

Yeah, so you guys mentioned Roy McIlroy winning, uh, the 2014 is last time he won a major that was at Royal Liverpool. Guess where the 2023 Open Championship is next month?

Royal.

Oh, oh, one there before. I can't putt fucking 10 years ago, Jake.

I was when he could putt.

Yeah, I can't putt confidence either way. Um, it sucked that, Ricky choked. I agree with you guys. Brooks Legacy.

Yeah, I think, I think if any of us had that kind of distance, we would probably win the U S Open. Like Rory, Rory, McIlroy actually might suck at golf, he just hits the ball a long way.

He hits it so far.

He's so small. On the flip side, I love the 81 yard part three on Saturday on 15. I've never seen that before in a major.

Yeah, it was crazy. What other, what other things from from this tournament you guys take away? We saw, uh, uh, Blake, Griffin and Brooks meeting on Thursday or Friday. That's great sign Blake of the year coming up.

He's bored.

Yeah.

I was going to say, similar to Ricky missing on 18.

Wyndham Clark got his first win like a month ago.

Yeah.

It was the second one of one time on tour. And and I don't think like his. His, uh, top finish at a major was like, 73rd, and he hasn't ever played in a masters. I mean, I'm happy for him. It seems like this is something that can catapult him into the next stratosphere of his career. But um, but it didn't, it didn't have that big game feel to me.

It's also really tough because golf is a sport of privilege, rich people play it. You're playing it at L.A. Country Club, which I think have like the richest owner, like the membership has to be the richest of any country club outside of. Maybe like one of the New York clubs, like it is the lead of the elite. And then you have a guy named Wyndham, which is like, you name your kid, Wyndham, to win U.S. Opens and be like a rich prick golf.

They kept, they kept mentioning in the broadcast how he basically copied Ricky Fowler's putter and that they're like, friends. But like, would you if you're Ricky Fowler? Would that, like, kind of piss you off a little bit? yes.

Yeah, yeah, he, he cheated on the test.

Yes.

I, Yeah, that would. That would definitely piss me off. I hope that Ricky continues to play well, though it's a better game when Ricky Fowler's in contention on Sunday.

And and and Wyndham Clark did deserve it, cause he was like, he took, he took it at the beginning of the day on Sunday, like he was. He had, I think, one of those early birdies. And it felt like everyone else was going backwards or just treading water. And he was like, Fuck, this is my tournament. Um, we should say Max didn't play well.

He would tell you that on Friday.

On Friday, that's true. Thursday he was great. Uh, it sucks.

Yeah, it's tough, it's tough to watch because he was, he was very much upset on Friday, very upset on Saturday. Then he got drunk with Justin Thomas and they did some commentary this afternoon as the round was wanting to, and then I think he was drinking Rose today. I guess Southern California thing.

Well, Justin Thomas also said, who's front of the program as well, said I. His golf games never been worse, and he's like, hit the lowest point, so yeah.

Um, I, I did see one fun fact about Wyndham Clark on, Uh, on Foreplay. They tweeted this out, I guess they did an interview with him. He blacks out every single number on all of his golf balls, which is very relatable. So it's like, if you hit a titleist two or Taylor made one or whatever. Um, let's say he's playing a Taylor made one and he loses that ball, then he takes out like another ball, and it's Taylor made two.

And Christian McCaffrey?

And he knows Christian McCaffrey, and he's from Colorado.

He's an athlete.

Oh yeah.

He has cat. He was like being athlete, and then he chipped in and went like 10 feet past the hole. Dude. Don't try to be an athlete, you're not an athlete.

Speaking of caddies, I really do think it all went downhill for Ricky when his caddy palled him in the first first hole.

I, I, he, he. Did you hear that, though? That's like, that's how they communicate.

Yeah, but you can't, pal someone there. He's like, Yeah, you know, hit this hit that, you know, you got this pal that I would have walked off the course. I'm like, Nah, you know what?

Hank and I played around a golf yesterday and I guess I can't tell you what happened around because the video is not out yet. I'm I can't say it doesn't matter who won. Because it was a team thing, it was a team thing where Hank and I were trying together to break a hundred through nine holes.

No spoilers.

No, no, I'm not going to spoil it, but I'm just saying as great teammates as me and Hank were. Because the individual score definitely didn't matter. And we're never going to tell who won. But, uh, we never palled each other, cause we were pulling on the same rope, you know, all for one, one for all. You don't, you don't pal your buddy.

Ricky was done after that. You don't. Probably, buddy, I have one other thing. Um, I got a call out. The tracker community is the worst at this point.

Hand the account down to somebody else. This is, you have you have four weekends a year that you absolutely no excuses have to be doing your job as a tracker.

He had to do a playoff the weekend before. That's, that's overtime.

Yeah, but you don't, you don't, you don't. Just you don't get to take the U s open off because you want to go do mushrooms in the woods with your friends. It's just some real shit.

Bonnaroo hasn't been cool for, like, 15 years, and you're fucking skipping the U S Open Tommy Tracker for 20.

If somebody wants to start a new Tommy Fleetwood tracker, we will promote that tracker and we'll tell everybody. This is the this is the official one. But you have to be committed to it, you have to be absolutely locked in. You cannot miss a shot. Bubba put me onto the CWU chem tracker, cause I've been betting a lot on CWU chem. And he likes, like, when he's not tracking, he's some like middle school kid halfway around the world.

Love it, that's okay.

Crazy the Clock buddy.

Crazy.

Um, why is he? why is he promoting a different Fleetwood tracker? That's his rival, that's his competition.

Well, does have that dog in him.

No, yeah, apparently. He just kneeled down and was like, I'm not, I'm not the official tracker anymore, I'm going to Bonnaroo.

If Hank was a tracker, he would, he would take off weekends like this. Got to have that work-life balance.

I'll tell you one thing Henry Lockwood could never be a tracker. The guy has no, not even close to the amount of work ethic it takes to be a tracker.

Oh, okay, then you should track.

Yeah, track someone.

So I have to pay attention to more golf for my job.

No, watch more golf, but not play more golf.

You can't miss a shot.

Of who?

We're going to give you a trial hank at the I'll do it for live.

I'll do it for live.

For racist tracker.

Yeah, I'll Cam Smith, I'll be a Cam Smith tracker deal. See more work to my plate.

All right.

Um, other things. Bradley Beal got traded from the Wizards to the Sons. Uh, I love the Kevin Durant. What did we say? Like, 2019? You could maybe make the argument, yeah.

That's the thing. It's like, they're not even super teams really, they're just super threes, They've got, they've got three good players.

Yeah, no bench.

I do Bradley Beal's great, though. Bradley Beal is a legitimately great player when he plays. And I mean, you get the injuries start to flare up when you have to play on the Wizards for long enough. That's all I'm going to say about that.

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

There you could, you could have gotten, you could have gotten at least a talented player, a very talented player. For Bradley Beal, if you had managed his contract right, instead of giving him a no trade clause, suddenly you have to take what he wants to do. So the Wizards fucked us up, so so they fucked up the last 10 years of their franchise. I hope, I'm very hopeful that with the new GM, that they're going to try to figure out how to run a basketball team correctly.

In the wizard's defense, though, I will say, if you, it doesn't really matter. If you fuck up an N.BA franchise. They can still 10 extra money.

Uh, yeah, that makes you the goat.

That's what I'm saying, Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, shit for the Hornets and sold for 10 times as much as he bought in for. So I don't think the owners are too too worried about the product on the court.

Michael Jordan one of the greatest investors of all time. What do you? What do you buy the Hornets for? Like 200 million and he sold for 3 billion? Man, he didn't really win.

275 for 3 billion.

And and he won nothing. That's called, that's called being the Goat.

Like, there's no way all of these bets lose. Yeah, right.

He's a Kevin Durant. Here's all this money, Aiden, already, he already had all that money, but Bradley Beal, now you have all this money. Devin Booker, all this money. Like, it will work out.

Yeah, that's a fun way to run a team. Yeah, give me the guy I want. I want a team with at least four guys, names that I know right off the bat.

You, you. I basically would grade every trade if I was an owner. Can you make a graphic with three or four players being like, who's stopping them on Twitter? that? And then like, it doesn't have to be, you know, cause people did that graphic? And they're like, who's stopping them? And everyone's like, plenty of teams, cause they're not that. But you can at least throw that out there.

Yeah, yeah, I just want. I wonder what's going to happen with Chris Paul now because he's probably actually not going to play for the Wizards. I don't want to say that officially, but I saw the, uh, the report is that he's going to be traded to the Clippers, yeah.

I was going to say, they'll the Clippers are a joke, they'll always be a joke. They just are like, and I don't mean that. Like, I love Steve Ballmer, I like the idea of Kawhi Leonard. I think Paul George has gotten shit on so much.

New stadium, though.

New stadium probably haunted in some way. Um, all right. John Marancat suspended 25 games.

Yeah, I thought it'd be longer.

That he released, or I think TMZ had it, but I guess he, he maybe had used it as defense of him. Lighting a candle with a fake gun, being like, it's been a fake gun all this time, it's just been a really cool lighter, not the worst defense. I kind of, I kind of liked the like ingenuity of it. I think if I was Adam Silver, I'd have been like, you know what?

Yeah.

It's, it's also just funny, the idea of John Morant's house just being full of regular household items. All shaped like guns, like a gun, is like, he go, you know, like his ovens, a gun, shape his pools gun.

Guns.

Yeah.

His knife, his knives in the kitchen are all guns.

His, his, his fucking huge sofa is a gun shape, like his TVs are putting a gun. shit. His pool table has a gun logo on it. I kind of like, if he could just make that like quick change and be like, I'm silver. Look, I don't own guns, I just love the shape of guns.

He should come out with a shoe that's just it just looks like a gun. Yeah, he would buy that shit, that'd be hot.

Yeah, what were you gonna say, Billy? Something with John Morant?

Um, I kind of get why he's flashing a gun on Instagram live, I kind of get it.

Okay.

Because he doesn't cause cause his location is revealed. He wants anyone watching his Instagram live to know that he's strapped. It's a safety thing.

You're talking about the OPs.

The I I mean, I just is your Instagram live always have location.

No, but like, you can just tell from the background.

Yeah, but Billy okay. Counterpoint. What if he just didn't go live on Instagram, then people wouldn't know where he was?

Well, remember the the video we're talking about? He, uh, it's not his Instagram live at someone else's, so someone knows where he is.

Wait, so you think that he was like, Oh shit, my friend's going on Instagram live, so if anyone comes and tries us.

Exactly.

Okay.

Let's everyone know he's not lacking, because here's what I'll say.

Take, I hadn't heard yet.

It may be a bad take.

It may be, but if you drop a take I'd never heard, you still have to tip your cap and be like, hadn't heard that yet.

Like, if I was on Instagram live and like people knew where I was, I might feel a little vulnerable.

You're in a studio in New York and you're lacking, you don't have a gun.

Exactly So I have an AX.

How much cash do you have on you?

No zero dollars, he's scared of cash.

You think John Moran's like, got that type of heat on him that people want to go and go after him.

He might.

Cause, like people, could they know where he is every day when he goes to games and practices?

It's a scary world being famous.

Okay.

Do you do you think that John Moran has ever carried a gun during a game?

I would say, maybe when injured, like when the problem is drinking wine on the on the, uh, on the bench, yeah.

Or, if Shannon Sharp showing up to a game, just keep it underneath your your shooting sleeve.

Either way, I hope, I hope job can stop flashing guns.

Credit where credit's due, Big cat. It's been, I think, two and a half months since Jaw has shown a gun on Instagram.

And I can't stress it enough if I'm the Grizzlies, like, just do a like Friday happy hour. Close off the doors, no videos gun, everyone shows off their guns to each other, it's that simple.

Or what he should do is he should take all of his guns and just paint little orange circles at the end of the muzzle. So it they all look like toy guns, because that's how you can tell if it's a toy, if it's got that thing. That clearly marks, Hey, this is not a real live gun, that shooting bullets. He should just do that to all of his guns that way, he just always say that they're toy guns.

I agree.

Good other, another good idea. Um, okay, should we do some? Who's back of the week?

Let's do it.

Who's back the weeks brought to you by our friends at the Farmer's Dog? Whether you have a few weeks old puppy or a senior who's seen multiple decades, any dog person like me knows.

Farmer's Dog makes and delivers fresh, healthy dog food. It's a recommended by vets, nutritionally balanced and made from human grade ingredients in safe, clean kitchens.

Mine's back of the week is David Freeze.

Oh yeah.

2011 World Series MVP Uh, clutch player that whole postseason. St. Louis Cardinals got voted into the Cardinals Hall of Fame and denied it. Denied entering the Hall of Fame. Said he hadn't earned it that he was. He knew it was kind of a weird decision that he was going to wear it. Uh, really made no sense to me. I feel like if you're a World Series MVP, you've earned, you've earned the Hall of Fame.

It's the most Cardinals story ever proves that he should be in the Cardinals Ring of fame. For for denying his own entry into it. Because he feels like he doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as those other old Cardinals players, that's the most Cardinals story that you could ever draw.

There's plenty of other Cardinals players that aren't World Series MVPs in the Cardinals Hall of Fame. So that that that to me is like a one one, you're automatically drafted into the Hall of Fame, any World Series MVP.

No one would ever have known about this story until he did this. Yeah, he's actually a piece of shit, right?

He is, but it's the most, but it's the most Cardinals thing ever. To get a lot of attention to yourself for raising your hand and being like, Look what a team guy. And look how humble I am. everybody give me credit for being the most humble individual ever. Also, I just love the phrase.

Yeah, yeah, Cardinals thing ever, though. And yes, he will probably. They'll probably like, force him in, they'll probably put them in anyway.

He should be in.

No, he shouldn't.

Any World Series MVP for any baseball team should be in that baseball team's Hall of fame.

I think he got a Dui and we don't stand with that. But also miss Bob Huggins.

That's, that's, that's also the most Cardinals thing ever.

Like, played the game the right way and we sprinted down to first base.

Every time you got to walk and got a Dui, that's, that's the St. Louis hat trick.

Yes, I might, Jake, please fact check me so I didn't. Oh, I don't give a fuck.

November 2002 arrested for DUI.

So there you go again.

We don't stand for drinking and driving 2009.

Yeah, so two duis.

No dwi cause there's two duis.

Huggy He also has two, but that's besides the point, he has two.

Meme speak.

Is it DWI? I think that's the same thing.

That's one or two.

I think they just changed it, like a few times driving under the influence of driving while intoxicated. I think those are pretty much. I'm not a lawyer, but I, I'm pretty sure that you shouldn't do either one.

Infinite.

By the way, I I'm a as an aside, I'm going to miss Huggy Bear. I know he, he had to go. That was bad. 0.21 is bad. We do not think Duis are funny, but I like, you can separate the fact that he fucked up and also be like, he's a legendary coach.

Wait 0.

Yes, dude, he, he. He was in Pittsburgh, he thought he was in Columbus.

Like, three times 0.

It's not good. I wish he had gotten a driver, I wish he got a driver. Bad do.

That's 12 beers in an hour.

Yeah, Billy, we know. Look, I mean, what was David Friese's probably worse?

I was going to say he might hug you, you might get inducted into the Cardinals Ring of Honor.

He, Yeah, the the being in Pittsburgh and thinking you're in Columbus is tough.

It's not good, don't do it.

Don't do it, don't do it, okay, bft.

Good, who's back Hank? my who's back of the week is United States soccer. U.S. soccer's back, baby, don't Hank try to show some fucking patriotism for once.

Dude, remember when, like, I think, Bill Pullian had it a few times? Ernie? Of course, see all those guys who they just hire and then they just they would get, pay them like a million bucks and they'd just hire their friend. After doing like six interviews.

Yeah, or sometimes it's like, here's a million dollars, go stay in L.A. for a week, go fly over to London, come back and then hire. Like, your nephew, it's something that you're actually related to.

It's also like, I used to think it was like, crazy, why would you do this? But it's also genius on the team. Hiring the search firm Cause, essentially saying, We know this is a really important decision and if it goes south, we want someone to be able to play.

Yeah, it's. It's really, really smart, and it also insulates you from like any sort of legal obligation that you might have. If you don't uncover something about the person's past or whatever, then you could get sued. But if you hire somebody whose job it is to do that for you, then they're.

We've had this discussion. PFT. Next World Cup? If they don't get to, like, at least see Late Eight.

Yeah, no, that's it, that's sick of it, that's it. They need to get, they need to get to the quarterfinals. If they don't, then it's a failure.

Yeah, you know how beat it is. Showing up to a bar at 9am to watch America play in them get blown out by the Dutch, like, can't happen again.

Yeah, how beat is it? Tell me how beat it is?

As fuck.

It's so beat.

It is.

I know.

Um, Billy's never going to recover from that loss to the Dutch.

Uh, all right, my who's back is the Bears? Chicago Bears. I don't know if you guys saw this. Um, Jordan Love posted a video today. I don't know where, I don't know if it was so.

Yeah, what's sad about this is, you're right, he thinks that he is Aaron Rogers, Right? That's the only explanation. Like, he, I'm actually with you on this one.

Oh, breaking moves, breaking moves.

Break, Oh, sorry, breaking moves, that's fine, do it.

No breaking moves.

Breaking I'm hank, I'm a salty B word.

Hank are, you're so salty, it feels like there's some tension between you and PFT, like there's no. You guys play golf yesterday.

We're on the same team.

That's so drunk, by the way. That was someone that was a great lifetime stat that someone had that we missed.

Point two, four, four, uh, went out and then lost the Superbowl. The next day, point two, five, seven woke up in my girlfriend's roommate's bed.

Hypothetically, point, point, point. Oh, uh, two got kissed by my best bro at the bar.

That's right, his mask can't hear you. You just pick out a good one.

It was a good one.

That's totally sober.

Anything, anything happened to you this weekend, Max anything on film?

There we'll talk about Wednesday or Friday.

Derek Henry Lockwood right here.

Max wants nothing to do with talking about this. We can wait, we'll wait, we'll wait.

We'll wait till we're on first, yeah, we'll do a film breakdown.

If you don't want to know what you're talking about, if you're listening, to understand. I will post the video again on my Twitter story in the morning, just so people for the show.

I'll retreat it, um, but yes, we will talk. We'll all be together on Tuesday, so we will break it down then. Either way, my who's back is the Bears?

Uh, the the first game. It's reminiscent of the 2004 Yankees Red Socks, when Martinez called the Yankees his daddy. And then the chance when he was pitching were all time like, the Who's your Daddy? Like that will be electric in Chicago, yeah.

If the Bears beat the Packers week one, that clip is going to be, I mean, I'll just tweet it every single day.

Um, all right, real quick, hank. Since we're talking about Aaron Rogers, I want to get your comment on the story that broke. I think it was last Thursday, maybe last Friday. Um, regarding your patriots that the Patriots tried to trade for Aaron Rogers this office. I, first of all, I thought that you loved Mack Jones. Second of all, Aaron Rogers rejected the trade he didn't want to play for. I guess they do want to do a two, two quarterback system with him and Bill Belichick at the same time playing quarterback. But I'm just curious to know from your perspective, I thought it's a Florida report.

It might be, it might be. I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm assuming that your your dad is webbed up, webbed up a nice web of, you know, tall tales and webbed up the web.

Yeah.

You wake up.

Okay, uh, Billy.

My who's back of the week is diamondback Terrapin. Uh, it was Father's Day. No, they would, they were breeding, they were getting there.

No, they went away for a little bit in, like the early two thousands.

They were endangered back then. So I was, uh, my dad wanted to go to the beach, so we were at the beach. It's Father's Day. Uh, I was driving on a road and I noticed there was a bunch of turtles crossing the road. Uh, probably didn't nest.

But the thing was, deposit do you mean? Just like pick up and then put down, yeah.

So there was so many of them anyway. The cops, I literally almost got arrested. The cops pulled up on me picking up these turtles. And my dad was being like, my dad was like, What the fuck are you doing? No?

Are you, you know, he is your father, so he should get a lot of this.

No, no, he, he still doesn't get it, you know, 16 years later. So the cops pull up to me and they're like, What are you doing? Why do you have 15 turtles in the back of your car?

I think you are chiefs holic man, I really do.

It also sounds like you definitely were collecting them and got caught.

I was going to put them to deposit breeding grounds, I was going to put them on the other side of the road, but in the breeding.

Grounds in your backyard.

Hey, also, you know, were you going to, like one of them, happen to stay in your truck?

Look, you know, whatever got put out, got put out. Maybe some ended up in my truck. There's no worries about that, no one knows.

Market just one.

And you've got a back 20.

I, I don't know what he was going to do immediately, right off the top of your head. How much it costs?

No, no, no, let's just, you know, the cops came and I put the the turtles back, you know?

Maybe you give the cops one, you take one, put put eight back.

Look, I may have bribed a cop with a turtle, but I don't think that's. That's for a public consumption, hey.

Off the back of this truck.

And it was so clear you were trying to steal some Terrapin turtles for money and you got caught.

No, look, they're very expensive turtles, and, right, you know, because they're an endangered species. Billy, They're, they're very endangered. We don't have to talk about it because the black market traders like, you look, look, look, you know. I made sure they didn't get run over.

Wait, wait, wait, dead ones on the road.

Yeah, they were, it was. It was carnage. It was terrible. So I started pulling over and picking them all up. Then the cops came in there, asked me what I was doing.

Definitely not doing selling these.

I'm not selling these turtles for 1500 a pop.

Look, I had about like 10 grand worth of turtles.

Yeah, you're finding like runaway juveniles, and you're putting them into your car and driving away with them so that they can breed. You're basically Jeffrey Epstein.

No, no, like, listen to this. Like, if you have like 18 k worth of turtles in the back of your truck, like China, in China, they sell for like probably 2,500 each. Like, it's, you know, you're, you're riding a little high at that point. But anyway, Jake, what's your who's back in the week?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, Jake. hold on, Jake, that's funny. Um, you mentioned the oral roberts. um, did you game? Did you want to say anything about the call?

Yeah, I said. We had a walk-off in the top of the ninth.

Okay, all right, but but. But maybe let's put this guy to task.

Let's, you know, like, well, I figured we would expand car average. When you read his statement, Uh, so for those who are unaware statement about what he tweeted, he tweeted about. Like Andrew Martian said, Tough luck for him.

And then can you, can you redo the call for the for the listeners that didn't hear it?

Yeah, let me. And this one is hit into left field. Did he get it?

I wear this one.

Damn.

Yeah.

Listen, he's at a point in his career where you can get away with something like that, like Kenny.

I don't know.

When you say we're onto tomorrow, he just basically re rehired himself. He's like, I'm not, I'm not getting fired because I'm already onto tomorrow.

I couldn't watch any of the college baseball the rest of the weekend, cause I was like, how could I trust these guys? sad.

Chris came into the room. He's like, Daddy. I thought that there was a bond with the ninth inning. What is what's Mr. Ravitch telling me on television?

We do like Carl Ravitch, but, man, it was the double down that killed him when he.

Was like, he was like, Yeah, it was a walk off.

Like, yeah, and then he realized that he was wrong, that was it was tough, it was bad, bad luck.

Thank God they won that game because if they blew it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, big time, um, okay.

Yes, before we get to Sean Evans, he's brought to you by Morgan and Morgan. If you've been injured in an accident, Morgan and Morgan makes it easy for you. You file a claim online, you upload pictures, that's your evidence.

Okay, we now welcome on very, very, very special guests. You get three verys. Wow, it is Sean Evans.

Long overdue.

Long overdue. Uh, let's start here. Uh, what do you think of the studio? Cause you're probably like, one of the last interviews we're going to do in the studio we cleaned up for you.

It looks like, uh, it might be on its last legs. But I shouldn't talk. Because we have kind of an embarrassing studio sometimes that, like when we bring guests to it, it's like a little bit of a chicken coop. Uh, this does translate better to video than it does in person. Okay, well, it does, you know, like, yeah, that's, yeah, that's where I'd put this one at, yeah.

Okay, yeah, cause it your your studio, you play it smart. It's like just very clean and minimal when you see it on TV, so when you, or when you see it on YouTube. But when you look behind the scenes, I'm sure that that's a shock.

Cause it's honest, you know what I mean, honest set, you know? So in that way, it's kind of comfortable and I feel good about it.

That actually, uh, like one of the great things about your show, and I don't know you can tell me if it was intentional or not. I always think that when people try to do internet uh shows that look like TV shows, they fail because the internet there should be a little bit more. There shouldn't be as, uh, much of a barrier between you and the audience. Like a big ESPN Sports center set. So when you guys were designing your show, was that a thought? Being like, Hey, we, we want, we don't need to make it like big green screens and shit.

Yeah, no, it was, well, it's just an unintended consequence, really, like we were just broke, so we just had to do something with the least amount of money as possible. And then that solution is just like hanging black curtains from the ceiling. But it ended up being like the best thing that we did because the show travels now.

Like, so that black curtains, you upgrade the material and shit.

That's saying, maybe, I mean, we could do better with shapes and materials, you know, as we go on, yeah, I like that, I like that.

It sounds similar to, I mean, you know, the start of this show we were.

You can, yeah, you can always get to this point, right?

But if you start at that point, people are going to expect things from you. That's like when we we had a show for one day, as you know, uh, we're like, we don't want a big we we we. We couldn't afford a big studio, but we wanted it specifically to look like, shit, yeah, so people weren't expecting it to be some, like, you know, beautiful.

People root for an underdog, and I think that works for the sets, I think that works for the shows.

Uh, are there any hot ones truthers out there? I was thinking about the that says, like, the sauce actually isn't that hot. They're acting.

So okay, well, I like that idea. And here's what I would say is. At this point, you know, we've had hundreds and hundreds of guests. If that were the case, you know, we don't have anyone signed an NDA or anything like.

Little like a princess bride.

Yeah, so I feel like we're fully buttoned up like a truth. Or doesn't have an inch to breathe with this show. I don't think, you know, but I guess that could be a challenge for you. PFT.

I think I think, like, if you don't have truthers, there's still room for the show to grow.

Yeah, right, right.

That's like the last frontier that you can that you can conquer. When there are people that are psycho enough out there to actually think that are there, are there haters? Do you have any haters like? You're the most likable person on the internet?

Thank you. Well, I'd say the same for you guys. I don't know, I guess it would be. I bet we probably get the same thing because we've both been going on for about the same length of time. Where, like, the thing that I'd get would be, Uh, you guys have changed, like as like, people have gotten more famous or whatever. It's like, Ah, the show's not like what it used to be.

Yeah.

Um, but I'm also not like, super, I don't really like check on it or like, see it that much. I guess everybody kind of sees their own shit. But, uh, but that's the thing that probably I get the most is like, the show's changed or whatever. But I always think that's weird, cause I feel like the show just hasn't changed at all. Like, it's just like the same side.

Right, and that also when when we get stuff like that, I hear it, or people will say both. It'd be like, Oh, you guys have changed, I think we. We get more like, Oh, you guys are still doing the same show. It's like, Well, we have fun, right?

Yes, yes.

And, uh, yeah, like, I think there's something. There's fatigue, because we're in such a weird time in media where everything is new, there's definitely fatigue for any. Like, if you listen to the same podcast over and over every day. Eventually you're going to be like, Oh, maybe I need to take a break, but then you might come back and I think a lot of the people come back. So it's like, I never take offense when someone's like, Oh, I took a break.

That starts like people started saying that to me, like season three of the show, and then it like, keeps getting, you know what I mean? So then you just you become kind of, uh, desensitized to it, I guess, right?

And it's also the loudest, like vocal minority of people. We always have to remind ourselves, like, if people are like, Oh, you guys suck now, it's like, what about? Like, the hundreds of thousands of people who don't have a Twitter account? We're just listening to us and enjoying us every day.

Right?

Right, people who don't have a YouTube commenter, they're not a YouTube commenter, they're watching it, they watch it.

They go on with their life. Yeah, yeah, I guess that's most people. And then I always think, like, you know, it's not like I just burst through your wall, like the kool-aid man, right, like.

I like, I appreciate the YouTube comments. Yeah, I love the first guys on YouTube, especially the guys that come in like a week late. First YouTube comments seem like they're more positive in general than other, yeah.

That's what I think. Or it just feels close, like connected to the show, which makes sense because it's a discovery platform. So people probably find you early on and then they have a connection to it and grow with it. The YouTube comments, It just feels like people who really watch and like the show.

Tell me, like, the the backstory of when you first came out, because it is one of those genius idea. Yeah, that. I think a lot of people independently were like, oh, like, we should do a show where we put the guests kind of under pressure. You, you did it first. Yeah, what? I know some of it, but for our audience, like the idea and the first, you know, test of it. And being like, Oh, I think we have something. What was that moment?

Basically, what happened was first We Feast was a food blog text like, sort of the intersection of food and pop culture. But, you know, in 2015, everyone's like, we're pivoting to video, everyone's got a pivot to video, so we had to come up with a video product. We were working in a magazine office similar to this, you'd see celebrities walk in the halls all the time.

Imagine Paul Rudd Yeah, that I mean, that you became like everyone uses that gift, you know, all the time.

You know, what's funny, though, is it? In that moment, I didn't recognize it as anything. Yeah, and then I've talked to Paul Rudd.

It's a little encapsulated moment, but it was such a small part of that interview because I think was like 30 minutes long.

Yeah, right.

And it was in the middle of a much bigger, like connecting bro moment that you guys had where he was telling you, like, you're good at basketball.

I do, after a lot of the interviews, you know, counter, you know, to what you might think they're very positive experiences. And then when you mess with spicy foods, you can get a head high off of them. So it's kind of like you end up in this bizarre, abstract place with the gas, where you're just kind of in space. And I've come to enjoy it as spicy as it is, like the twilight hours of an interview or my favorite parts of the Hot.

Yeah, has there been a time when, like, a celebrity comes in and they're doing a press junket there? And their publicist has not adequately prepared them, and they're not familiar with the show? And they're coming in like, trying to give canned answers and battle, because that's really a battle. Yeah, the genius of the interview format is you can't give canned answers. When you're, when you're feeling a physical interruption, right? How your brain works. Has there ever been somebody that tries to keep doing that?

I mean, the early, early days I remember I was just talking about this feeling, um, almost embarrassed by the show, you know, because we would, seriously, we'd like, let's say there's a junket, right? And it's at the Beverly Hills hotel. We would rent a suite and then literally just hang black sheets from a suite. And so whoever, like Charlize Theron, would go to like an elevator downstairs, come up and then walk into this suite with just sheets hanging and the bed pushed up against the wall. And then me just standing there with the hot sauces and just being like, Sorry.

I would watch a compilation of interviews from those early days of celebrities on the junkets that they had to do an interview right after your interview. Right? See, like the lingering heat and trying to deal with, like an actual okay, back to reality interview. We like entertainment tonight or whatever, and they've got hot sauce over there. That would be exactly.

But um, I, uh, well, sometimes what? They'll do? Because Fallon when we are on 50th Street, Fallon was right across the street, so somebody would come in, you know, dress like they're gonna dress on Fallon and then walk right across the street to do Fallon. After doing hot ones. Now we tell people all the time because we were amazed how often. We'd be like at 10 a.m, 11 a.m interview, and then they'd have a full day of press afterwards.

Yeah, you should get like a child star on like a nine-year-old. Just burned their face.
