We're going to talk a little Phil Gambling, we're going to read some headlines. Do step-sisters count, step-sisters count?
Take it easy. Ted Cruz No. What was Ted Cruz? What was he?
Oh, yeah, that was, uh, was that step-sister? I think that was incest porn. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Incest porn We'll do the Mount Rushmore of incest porn on Monday. Uh, we have Game of Thrones Firefest.

Visit ADT..com today.
Okay, let's go.
Welcome to part of my take. Today is Friday, August 11th. And I'm starting to think that Phil Mickelson might be a little bit of a gambler. He bet a billion dollars, so that's tough to do.
That's total, that's one dollar for every download. Part of my take has had. Oh yeah, seriously.
We don't like to pat ourselves on the back, but we might as well. That is a wild stat. Gaz Uh, who's, you know? Probably he's actually in charge of all barstool. Well, we should give him credit.
For this, because Gaz did pick us up off the scrap heap. He invented part of my take, and he actually.
Writes every episode, he does, he's writing what I'm saying right now, so apparently he. He tweeted out that. According to Podtrack, there have been 10 podcasts in the history of podcasting that have reached a billion downloads. And you're listening to one of them, that's pretty fucking wild.
When I saw that stat, I was like, Man, take a second, holy shit. Thank God, we got everyone in China.
To listen to part of my take, it is, it's very, very insane. We do have to go after the Indian audience, too, if we really want to make those numbers explode. Sachin Tendulkar Best cricket player of all time? Uh, not mine.
Well, who's your? who'd you go? The other one? JIMINY Yep, uh, so it is. It is like, humbling to think that there's a billion people that have downloaded this.
Uh, but I just like to take the opportunity to tell the college radio station that fired me to.
Suck my dick. Yeah, there we go, but yeah, seriously, I. We've gotten a little sappy a couple of times in the last couple of months, but we'll get sappy again. That is a mind-blowing, mind-blowing stat. So thank you to everyone who supports us.
Best fans in the world, Best fans in the world, we, we. I told this story last week. But remember when we were driving to Detroit and we're like, what if part of my take hadn't worked? How much would that have sucked?
It would have sucked big time, our lives would have sucked also the way that they phrased that list. One of 10, that means that we're the 10th, that means that we're we have over nine. MLK Yeah.
It's exactly the Darren Rivera tweet. Yeah, that's fine, I mean, Joe Rogan is like.
That's the craziest part about Joe Rogan is like, we are a very big podcast, and Joe Rogan dwarfs us. He's probably got 10 billion. Yes, yes, so thank you to all the awls.
Downloading his episode a thousand times a day, it's crazy. We got to 1 billion without even hitting our 500th episode. That is wild, yeah.
And if you break it down by the number of shows, fastest, yeah, we're a fucking rocket ship. we're fastest to a billion. I can't wait till we get to a thousand episodes.
No 500.
No, but I mean, like, imagine us if we're double, we haven't even gotten to 500. Wait, let me look this up. I'm pretty sure this is our 500th episode, or is it Monday? I think it's today.
Okay, all right, congratulations guys, I'm pretty sure.
Viewing the backend, I think a thousand past JJ, Come on, you got to ruin the bit. I know it's a.
Bit but like, Ah, okay, yeah, no, it's okay. Jake, what'd you think about Phil Mickelson betting a billion dollars? I have a take.
I don't think that that's as crazy. It's a lot of money, it's a lot of money, okay, but that's not.
Wins and losses, that's right, money gamble, right? so.
If you break it down by the numbers, if we dive into Phil's gambling career, he's lost, I think, a hundred million dollars, right? That's a lot, That's a lot. I'm going to say that Phil Mickelson is a pretty good gambler, he's a pretty good gambler.
He lost 10. I was just thinking.
About it, I did, I did float. This is a little trial balloon this morning in my house.
I told my wife, I was like, Do you see? Phil Mickelson has gambled a billion dollars? A little perspective like, Man, that's crazy. And she was like, How much have you? And I was like, Oh, I got to go, yeah, so I was thinking about it.
I do think that it's an eye popping number. It also goes back to my belief that anyone who is a gambler. Save how much you have gambled. And just wait for the book, cause it is a all time like. Charles Barkley, I think, did this as well. Where it's like, if you're writing a book, just throw out a big number of how much money you've gambled and you will get.
People to buy your book, yeah, it's. It's actually pretty good way to do it. So it's from gamblers secrets, from a life of risk. Billy Walters, Billy Walters, Professional gambler. They list them as being like the best gambler of all time.
Is that true? Cause I feel like a lot of gamblers called them, Yeah, that's true. He went 70 NFL last year.
Uh, the the craziest part wasn't the 1 billion. I mean, 1 billion is a lot of money to bet on anything. I don't care if you spread it out over the course of your entire life. Um, the craziest part was that Phil tried to call in a bet on the 2012 rider. Yes.
From Medina, which Hank and I have played before. Yeah, uh, and yeah, it was great. Oh yeah, Hanks played multiple times.
They know a couple or a few couple, a bunch cup, a bunch of times, uh. He tried to bet on the 2012 Rider Cup while he was playing in it. He called in the bet from the golf course, trying to put in. It was a six figure bet. $400,000 for the U S team to win, which, uh, which they ended up losing, so they just collapsed the Rider Cup history. They actually didn't take his action on that.
So well that that book didn't take it. Who knows if Phil called his second guy and tried to put the bed in? Oh, he definitely.
Got that bed in, Listen, he got that bed, he's got. he's got a role. He got that bed, yeah.
He gambled so much that it wouldn't be surprising if Phil, like, gets in bed with the Saudis and tries.
To have them bankroll. I don't think Phil would do that, so if I know anything about Phil. Yes, he does love to gamble, but he loves his legacy and he loves the tradition of the PGA Tour.
Yeah, I couldn't see him turning. It's also the biggest lies. Phil said, that he hasn't gambled in, like, six years. Did you see that tweet the other day?
Which six years were those zero to six? Yeah, it's, it's, uh, I still, though. A billion sounds like a lot, but I was doing the numbers in my head. And like, if you're betting, I bet 20 college football games and then 10 NFL games. Just actual bets placed on a weekend is a lot of money.
I imagine that Phil is also.
Stepping up his bankroll after he wins a tournament like the Units definitely changed for a little bit. Phil has a secret bank account that his wife does not know about, definitely the.
Um, the best two lines, though, from the piece that the book's coming out. Maybe we should try to get Billy Walters on the show. Uh, he was in jail, I would assume he's out of jail. Why? For for being too good at gambling.
He's being too good at gambling. Uh, he said. Uh uh, Phil's a big time gambler, and big time gamblers make big bets. I kind of want to get that as like, one of your so true things in my house. That's just a great shirt. This is the house.
Like, you walk in my house, the mat. This is the house of a big time gambler, and big time gamblers make big.
Time bets right below. The live laugh love. Oh, by the way, I got, I got a live laugh love to my wall. Nice. No, it's not nice. They sent me live love, love.
Oh, there's no laughing there. They're trying to send you a message, they're trying to be like, Yo, be funnier. Yeah, either that, or it's just like I.
Maybe just more love? Yeah, I think they're telling you, you got to love more, I got to love more, you got to love hard from the universe.
But yeah, it's a big time.
Gamblers make big time. I just love that like I I might if I lose, if the bears loses the.
Commanders, I might have that be my tattoo. Imagine going into the casino and you're wearing that shirt and you go up to the sports book and you put like, 20 bucks. Yeah, big time gamblers.
Make big time bets. The other one that hurt, and this is hurt, hurtful for Phil. I know like him, reading this, he probably doesn't give a fuck about the 1 billion number. He likes the quote Big time gamblers make big time bets, but, uh, the fact that Billy Walters started placing bets for Phil and then his accounts got shut down.
Cause they're like, you, these are clearly not you. It's not reckless anymore. Yeah, that hurts. They're basically were like, you are a dumb.
Better, why are you only taking sharp games and only playing like three games a weekend that that had to? That that sucks to see in print. Yeah, I mean, if this is the worst thing, that.
Phil will ever do in his life, then, that's a life well lived. Yeah, honestly. We should all aspire to have enough money where we can end up losing a hundred million dollars and still be a multi, multi hundred millionaire. Big time gamblers make big time bets, yeah.
It's just a fact. Basically, Phil Mickelson is Mr. Beast with a gambling addiction. So he's like, I'm going to bet and lose a lot of money, but that's my personality. My competitive spirit is going to ensure that I end up making three times as much money as I give away.
What would have been a worse headline?
One bill, Phil Mickelson bets $1 billion, or Phil Mickelson bets a hundred thousand dollars. In his life, he was just only doing $5 parlay cards, way worse.
He's a big time gambler who makes bets, big time bets. I am really that phrase is just going to be ringing in my head, big ticket, like, as I as I put in a bet, yeah.
Like, you know what? yeah, you make big time.
Bets come on, so yourself up so. Walters also said that Phil Mickelson, one of the most famous people in the world and a man I once considered a friend, embrace debate. Is Phil Mickelson, one of the most famous people in the world?
At one point, uh, ooh, no camp, he's in the top 1%.
Of the 1. Yeah, but similar to a Joe Rogan, pardon my take, Tiger Woods like, is whatever. It is a million x Phil in terms of, you know, celebrity and and and recognizable like.
Recognizability, I think maybe in inside of a casino, Phil Mickelson might be one of the.
Most recognized the fact that anytime anyone's making big time bets, Phil Mickelson is at least.
The most famous, they're all. Mickelson gets his wings. Yeah, that makes him more famous.
I mean, golf is pretty big in Europe, so he's, yeah, he's, he's up there, but I, I wouldn't say that. Uh, if Phil Mickelson was walking down the street, do you think he would get stopped endlessly?
I don't think endlessly. Where New York City, Chicago, L.A. I think I think in a big city, you probably would. Um, depends on how big his sunglasses were at the time. They've gotten bigger.
Over the years, yeah, I guess, well, I see these are always hard to judge. Like this actually goes back to our conference realignment, uh, talk.
On Monday, when we were saying, uh, we'll still watch, someone did point out like, we are 0.001 of football watchers. Not to brag, but it's just a fact. So, like us saying we would still watch, of course, we'd still watch, we watch all football. So Phil like.
I would obviously recognize Phil because, you know, I love sports and any like diehard sports fan, but like the regular people, I would recognize Phil's man boobs anywhere he.
Kind of lost him recently, but it was like him and Jim Schwartz that had the most recognizable man nipples out there. Uh, but he's he, he does, kind of his body transforms. Every time Phil shows up to a tournament, the first picture of Phil approaching the media always goes viral and everyone's like, Holy shit, look at Phil.
He looks so different, he looks awesome, yeah.
Or bad, who gets recognized more walking down the street, New York City, Livvy, Done or Phil.
I mean, isn't she like, isn't her demographic like college campuses?
I think it's every campus, I mean, I'm not in a college campus, I'm a.
I personally don't know what she looks like. I do the worst demographic for anything, though. Yeah, I don't know.
You can't be in this conversation. I honestly don't think I would recognize it. It'll be done.
You wouldn't recognize it by baby Gronk, Oh, that's her, yeah, if Baby Gronk was saying.
Next door, I'd be like, that must be Libby. What about what if Baby Digs was, Oh yeah?
Baby digs wouldn't be sitting next to her, baby digs would break it, breaking her ankles.
Catching a ball. I would. I would never randomly run into baby digs, cause whenever I'm in the same city I got to tap in out of respect. Well, I'd never run into baby digs. He'd be.
Running past me, yeah, jamming baby digs at the line. Good luck, no chance.
Uh, okay, so not a ton going on, obviously. First preseason games for a bunch of teams tonight. Uh, let's knock on wood collectively for no injuries, no injuries, no injuries, um.
But let's do some headline reading Hey PMT listeners, this is PFT here. Reminding you to pour the roar with proper Number 12 Irish whiskey and proper Irish apple. Straight from the heart of Dublin's District 12, original Proper Number 12 is rich and smooth blend of golden grain and single malt, aged four years in bourbon barrels.
Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger. If you're looking for something different, try Proper Irish Apple Delicious blend of proper to award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp and fresh notes of Irish apple. Proper number 12 Irish whiskey and Proper 12 Irish Apple. Two refreshing ways to pour the roar. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.
Because, uh, we are still in August. I'll just I'll rip through them. You guys give me your thoughts. Texas beats out LSU Miami for number one. D. And in 2024? Uh, I just don't want to know.
What year he was born in? Okay, cause it's probably like 2000, He must be from Texas.
ColIN Simmons Colin Simmons will be playing in Austin. He is the number one recruit. Uh, yes.
He is, he's from Texas. It's crazy to think that if you had a little oops mistake while you were in college, your kids right now would be entering, uh, NCAA football. That is true, yeah.
They would definitely be entering. That's scary. It's a double-a football. My kids maybe, Yeah, no.
Uh.
Colin Simmons was born. He is, uh, why can't I find his birthday anyway? He must be what?
It must be 2006.
That sucks, damn, that sucks, that is brutal.
That is brutal, yeah, Duncanville.
Uh, Texas, Duncanville, Texas. Colin Simmons Man, that does suck a lot, too. I was thinking about it. They were showing the ages of N.FL coaches and we're still holding on pretty well. Because, you know, I think McVay is younger than us. Uh, the floor is around the same age, but yeah, a couple of the a couple of the new guys might be younger than us. But that will suck when we get to a few more years down the line and then they list all the coaches and there's.
A third, well, when McVay was talking about retiring, if he had actually retired from coaching football, that would have made me feel super old. Yes, that we, we, we did, we podcasted.
For his entire career as head coach, Uh, okay, next headline Titans Williams, Lodds, Vrabel for head coach opportunity for HC Opportunity. Okay, so I think he's their defensive coordinator.
TERRELl WillIams Oh, he's coaching, he's coaching the preseason. Yeah, yeah.
So Vrabel is letting.
Him, wear the headset, call the plays, that sort of thing. I like that opportunity. Yep, uh, that's cool. It's also a good opportunity to bet against the Titans.
Yeah, rookie, head coach, yeah, rookie.
The rookiest coaches Uh book Phil bet over $1 billion tried wide Ryder Cup wager big time bets Uh. Dutch star rips U.S. women's national team for big mouse at Women's World Cup. Now this is, but this is also like.
You saw the takes for four days, then you tried to hop on the take train.
It's already left the station. Yeah, so when? When the Dutch, they said, big mouth, big mouth. That sounds like fat phobic. To me, it sounds like they're calling us fat Americans. Or fish you'd like to catch, yeah.
Big mouth, big mouth. I caught a big mouth American. So we we didn't really talk that much about the Women's World Cup. I just want to say that I don't I. I've reached the point now. I didn't jinx them.
I just said, I like watching the women play, I think that they're more fun to watch than the men sometimes, cause they usually win. This team sucked. I don't. I've reached a point now where I don't necessarily blame Megan Rapino.
I blame the coach for even putting her on the roster, that's how bad she was.
I also it does. I'm not going to defend them cause they did suck. It'd be very easy to defend them. Yeah, very easy.
Vietnam basically did, yeah, but they are a little bit of a victim of their own success, where if you win multiple World Cups and dominate, everyone expects.
If you don't win that, you're a failure. Yeah, they need to start sucking like the men and then get to the get to the second round. Everyone's happy, you know, what they need is they need a.
A FIBA loss? Third place finish. What I remember the year that we finished third, I think.
Yeah, we need to put together the redeem team, that was the reset, because for a while it was basically well. The dream team always wins the Olympics, that was the Olympics, that was the Olympics.
We need to get LeBron James to play women's soccer. Yes, okay, yeah, and lose.
But yeah, that was a reset, where then it became like, Oh, okay, now the next time they win, coach K and No. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Coach K Yeah, let's get Coach K in there. And he'll never give up the job. Even though every other, every other history of the Olympics did not sit on the job like he.
Did have we lost recruits? Is he, is he still a coach? So he could be like, Oh, oh, Plumlee.
You want to FaceTime LeBron and come to Duke? Is he still the coach of where USA? Probably no so.
We're probably going to try to be shadow coach. Yeah, well, he retired, yeah, he was tired.
Okay.
Giving it up Colts to start Richardson and preseason opener. Smart move I'm going to make.
A lot of knee jerk decisions off that. Yeah, I like it, I like it. He's got all the quarter.
I think he's playing, he's got all the tools. That is, that tape is going to basically decide.
A Anthony Richardson's fate in my eyes. Yeah, if he, if he throws one touchdown pass, I'm in.
Yeah, or one cool, like a stiff arm or long run. I'm all the way in a fountas exits D.C. United after racism allegations. Next sources Cal Stanford to ACC hits roadblocks.
Okay, so wait, wait, the Fountas one, I actually, I actually read about that. Okay, the guy's name is Taxi.
His first name is Taxi Taxi fountas, Taxi fountas. Great name, uh, and the. The organization said We don't tolerate any misogynistic language.
So I guess I don't know what that means. Like, why would? Why would he use massage misogynistic language on one of his teammates? If his teammate is male? Called the bitches. Yeah, probably called him a bitch.
Call them bitches if you don't. If you can't, call your teammate a bitch. In practice, I think I'm.
Done with sports, yeah, administrative leave, yeah, there's no place for that taxi.
Can't believe he did it. Uh. Sources Cal Stanford to ACC hits roadblocks. No, duh, yeah, what's the roadblock?
Uh, route 66.
Yeah, ACC is like, they just showed up and like, we got to do something.
Yeah, they they should call themselves the Ocean Conference if they make this happen, so it's going to be. They're, they're going for some of the West Coast teams, and they're also.
Going for SMU, they should make them do the The Ocean Conference. Fly the opposite way, fly the opposite way around the world, I like that.
That would be cool just to watch the graphic, yeah.
Just have just have colleges that exist on airplanes. Miles traveled for the Cal football.
Team this year is like, it's like 400,000.
Yeah, I could see commissioner getting like.
Just organizing that conference so that he could funnel the frequent flyer miles to his personal.
Account that's actually really smart status, uh. And then last, one sources Byron agrees to $110 million deal for Cain. Patrick. Um, Harry. oh, Harry kind. Harry is no longer a Tottenham, he's a tapping merchant.
Is what he is. Oh no, he's got to decide, he's got to decide whether to leave or not. Okay, cool.
And that was headline, that was headline. We got one more.
Thing that somehow isn't on the top page anymore. Hold on, Max has seen through no headlines.
I was headlined, Yeah, Jake's pitching a perfect game right now in terms of ruining bits.
I might leave.
I'm sorry Jake, No, we need you. Your presence is great, because your presence is basically. The dudes that tweet us correcting us constantly and being like, Yeah, how did you not know? like they probably are tweeting Hank right now, being like, Dude, how did you not know?
They.
Fly orcas. They don't, yeah, they do. yeah, yeah.
And Tokita is going to be free as fuck.
Uh, no, there is one more headline. It is the topic of ESPN five trades that should happen before the NFL season starts and why they benefit both sides. Okay, oh yeah, that is a bar stool for.
ESPN Done Penn Management gets a plus for that trade. Yes, all a pluses, everyone wins.
Uh, which team could use Chase Young? I actually, I do think that Chase Young would be a good person to trade for. The commanders I'd take them. I feel like he's right now, he's, he's going to be a free agent.
So as Montez sweat, I'd rather have Montez sweat and then.
Whatever we can get for Chase Young right now. Okay, uh, I can't. I can't log into my continue reading of ESPN, so just read the first paragraph, that's what I have.
Okay.
Here we go. A Buccaneers trade for Trey Lance. Okay for a second round pick and a third round pick. Why would that? Doesn't seem like anybody wins.
Oh, I'm in, I'm in, I'm into. Um, yeah, I don't. That makes no sense. That's a zero winner. That one is not one that needs to be done. Ravens trade for Chase Young for a third round pick. Fifth round pick, Jets trade for Mike Evans.
Holy shit, that would be awesome, it would, yeah, cause you guys would lose your end, Rogers bet.
Mike Evans made a made quite the surprise appearance in the Johnny Manziel documentary.
I have to watch it still, Monday we'll do the review, it's good, everyone's tweeting the.
Spoiler of how it ended, though I've seen it like 10 times. It's life. Oh no, we know what?
Johnny Manziel documentary ended Oh, okay, I'm not going to, I'm just saying.
Johnny Manziel doesn't continue playing NFL football. No spoilers. Okay, was I close?
Yeah, I think you were Johnny Manziel. Was there an after credit scene I didn't see?
It, I haven't watched it yet. Living in Scottsdale, hanging out golf. No. Johnny Manziel signing.
I don't know, we won't spoil it, memorabilia, stuff. no, spoil it, and.
Then we'll bleep it.
Everyone was tweeting about how a lot of it is about how he, like, had alcohol.
Issues and ended with him drinking a beer. Yeah, it's true. Well, he lives in Scottsdale.
That's sober, but the final, the whole documentary, is him loving beer with Jake, and then he's doing.
The thing he loves at the end, the documentary also starts. I didn't watch it yet, it starts.
With him drinking a beer, too. No, I didn't watch it. yeah, him drinking a beer, just how the.
Documentary ends. I'm just going to shut up the rest of this episode, I don't know what's going.
On right now, Jake's pitching a No bitter.
I just need to lose my mic. Oh, stop Jake, don't be hard on yourself. We love you. Yeah, we love you Jake.
Uh, Jaguars should trade for offensive lineman Patrick McCurry? Sure, yeah, okay, Jaguars should get the offensive lineman from the Ravens.
A Titan should trade for Hunter Renfro. Oh, I could see that. Yeah, fill the fill the Eric.
Decker role out there. I wonder if the Raiders will have, like a fire sale at some point, because.
They do have good players, well, they have dudes. Three years from now, they might be adding a guy that might be getting out of prison. It's true. Henry Rugs.
Yeah, they're rebuilding, they're.
Like the Mets, they're targeting 2026. I don't know, I don't understand how you can kill someone drunk driving and only have three years of jail, that makes no sense to me.
That is that feels I'm all for second chances, but that's you ended someone's life. Yeah, he, it was a huge fuck up. I do. I don't think it's a fuck up.
I think it's just you killed someone. Yeah, you killed someone, which is a huge fuck. Yeah, I know, but a fuck up is like, whoops.
He didn't intentionally hit you.
On the head, by accident, he didn't intentionally kill somebody, he did make an egregious mistake, actually, a series of egregious mistakes. But yeah, it does seem like three years is not. Like, imagine if you were that woman's parent, or her daughter, or her brother or sister, like, that's that doesn't seem like the punishment fits the crime, right?
And that's it. Those are the trades.
It was a win-win trade, that's it all right. So should we get to our interview? No.
Why?
Because this is ridiculous. What happened? Oh, you want to talk about how Devante Smith mispracticed to go out to there? Yeah, which is, I guess, you know, if you're going to be, if you're gonna be with somebody, be with them at their worst times, like Derek Carr.
Okay, so go ahead. Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Michael Lorenzen throws who you didn't care about.
That's not true. Oh, that's not. I never said that. Memes find the clip. I never said that. I said, Phil, he's got Michael Lorenzo.
You said, Sure, yeah, sure, that's he. He's pitching great. 17 innings, two runs.
Okay, so what do you do? I think you should have pulled him. Michael Lorenzen pitched 124 pitches, nine inning, no hitter yesterday for the Philadelphia Phillies.
That seems like they're malpracticed by their pitching staff. They only left them in the game because he had a no hitter. If you look at his, he basically did the Josh Hamilton to himself.
He's not going to be the same pitcher after this. Wrong. He was throwing 95 in the ninth, adrenaline was pumping. They kept showing his mom, and his mom was at the game, bawling, crying in the ninth inning.
It was one of those like, How can you not be romantic about?
Baseball moments. It was really, I was not romantic, I watched, I tuned in, I mean.
You tuned in for for disgusting reasons. Max, what do you mean? what do you mean?
I should have pulled them. No, they shouldn't. They won the game, the full full game, nine innings, complete game, no hitter. How it's supposed to be done, how baseball is supposed to.
Be played from your balls or your balls. So Max, how romantic did you get with it?
Uh, I don't, I don't know, I watched it. You said, How romantic can you be? Yeah, how, yeah.
No, how romantic can you be? No, it's like the line, How are you asking me if I like? jerked off?
To them winning the game. I didn't say that. Why would we say that? I don't know, did you?
No.
I didn't. You're the one who said, Jerk off. Is that jerking off? Romantic? Yeah, no.
Actually.
Max If the Phillies win the World Series, you should have to go back and watch this game film and just jack off while you watch it.
The most romantic game of the season?
I know it was a great game, it was, it was beautiful thing to watch. Are we saying? said again, Uh, we said, is we gotta get? We gotta get back to play, or at least closer to playoffs?
So, two things one, he pitched the game in vans, which was awesome, awesome, that was cool vans.
Do they go? do the cleats go to the Hall of Fame? Uh, I have no idea, I don't know, I've always.
Wondered about that? The Hall of Fame, I think they just take shit and just throw it out back. Yeah, something, something goes to the Hall of Fame, whether it be football or baseball, like every single day.
Yeah, they must have just an abundance of shit that nobody cares about.
Anymore, I think what they do is they do the like, like weekly or monthly up in front in the glass case, like, look at Mike Lorenz and Vans. And then after the next, I'll hit her, like, Fuck it, yeah.
So this actually maybe these vans. No hitters take the spot of, uh, the four or five pairs of shoes that the Astros put in the Hall of Fame when they no hit the Phillies. What do they have?
20 pairs of cleats in there. Oh so, yeah, no, and you agree that they're in the Hall of Fame, No?
Bullshit World Series game. I mean, I can't, I can't get out of bed for a no hitter that takes.
Place in the wild stat. Yeah, I was just going to say it, unbelievable. Four pitchers and four pitchers only have played in the majors after attending Fullerton Union High School in Fullerton, California.
And now all four, including Michael Lorenzen, have thrown an M.L.B. no hitter. So who is Steve Busby? From 1972 to 1980? Walter Johnson, a Hall of Famer who played from 1907 to 27, Michael Lorenzen and then Mike Warren in the Eighties? Wow.
That's pretty crazy, I mean.
That's a lot that is really well, wait. High schools existed in, like, 1890, No. Seven, yeah, but he probably went to high school, or what years did he go to high school?
I don't know this was their MLB in the 1800s, probably this guy went to high school, yeah.
I guess I went to, like the mind, you went to war, he's a hall of famer, he went to the civil.
War for school, Get to work kid? Okay, well, I'm happy for you Max, thank you.
I don't think you are well. So bring her a no hitter in the regular season, like, who would do that? Yeah, Domingo.
Harmon threw a perfect game, I didn't celebrate. He's your favorite Yankee, he is your favorite.
Yankee No, he's not. Yeah, he is. No, he's not. We saw you with you, have your Domingo Harmon jersey that we've seen you wear.
Just don't leak it. Also. There we go, Jake's it on a bit.
Yeah, could you imagine if it was Cubs, Billy's World or a wildcard round? Imagine that I can. Yes, it's, it's possible, it's very possible.
Max and Hank Week one. It would be very fun.
It would be played well. No, it would be, because it's the they play it all one place, right? Yeah, I think the Cubs are a few games behind, not really.
They're only three, three back.
Wow, they're a half, they're a half back with the last spot in, the Phillies are two and a half of. Actually, I don't know the wildcard map, it really is confusing, it's hard to figure out.
I know that the that, it says. Plus, two and a half for the Phillies in the wildcard first spot, and then the Cubs are a half out. So that'd be three, but they would need to get the second second.
Player I don't know.
All right, let's get to our interview and then we'll do the Mount Rushmore siblings before we do the interview. PFT had a quick word for one of our sponsors.

Ross St. Brown.
Okay, we now welcome on a very special guest. He is wide receiver for the Detroit Lions. Amin Ross St. Brown. Uh, we don't know when we're going to run this interview with we're taping it during Grit week. But so we don't always ask the first question.
What what grit means to everyone that we taped this week? But I feel like I have to ask you, okay? Cause you seem like a gritty guy, so what does grit mean to you? Uh, I would say for me.
Grit.
Um, shoot scratchy clawy, um works hard, um, for like someone that relentless. Yep, um. I feel like those are the words that describe grit for me. Uh, obviously, the word grit in itself is a great word, like just gritty, but I would say relentless.
Tough, um, like I said, works hard, scratching, clawing, things like that.
It is a great word, I've never really thought about it, but yeah, grit, it just seems like a tough word. And you were the last person on the practice field today, was I? I didn't see it.
I think, so, yeah.
Will you just stay out there just if somebody else is out there working?
You're like, I'm going to wait, I'll do my work and then I'll bounce.
So 202 balls is what you catch after every practice, correct. do you catch all of them?
Uh, for the most part, yeah, I'll have maybe one drop, one or two drops, but, uh, for the most part, try to catch all of them. Yeah, cause you have to do 202 in a row.
Like, start over. If you drop it, you think, so, that's right. I personally do 203, but 202 is pretty good too. I'll do that.
I'll do 204 just cause you said that.
Now I'm 205.
Well, then I'm not going to tell what I'm doing.
This is how the Cold War started. I'm going to do Infinity Plus one.
Just more than you, Uh, wait, so how did 202 come about?
So I was, Um, I live in Southern California. I grew up in Southern California, growing up as a kid. And the seven on seven circuit is huge there. Um, you know, seven on seven football, you have the regular season where you know pads, whatever, then off season everyone's doing seven on seven.
You got these big tournaments and whatever. So when I was growing up, I had two older brothers. We all, you know, did all everything together. Um, and we were at this one seven on seven thing, there was a kid.
He was out there catching everything. My dad went up to his dad. He's like, You know, what do you guys do to have such good hands? And the father told my dad, You know, we have a jugs machine, we catch 200 balls a day.
So my dad, being the guy he is, he went online. Got a jugs machine. Um, I remember the first day it came in, I was like, Shoot, we finally got a jug machine. Like this is crazy, you can shoot balls.
You don't have to throw it, cause we used to just throw balls at each other. And then we're like, he told us. We got to catch 202, uh, cause buddy over there was catching 200, so why not 201??
Uh, just I don't know.
Just a little extra, yeah, it actually does sound better. Yeah, two to 201..
Hey, I know that you've, you know, I've seen an interview with you. Where you list every receiver that was taken before in the draft, I'm not going to ask you to list all the receivers. But I know that you were mad on draft day, You were mad on the first couple of days of the draft, you didn't get picked, which I respect, I understand that.
Cause you feel like you were, you were better than a lot of the guys that got picked. But also at the same time, the Lions passed on you a couple of times, too, so do you kind of hate the lines a little bit? Oh, you know, one of my best friends brought.
That up, he's like, you know, the lines pass on you, too. I was like, I mean, I understand that, but at the end of the day, they still picked me, so they passed on me, but they still picked me. It could have been anyone else, but the lines are still the team that chose me.
So, I mean, yeah, I can be mad at them for not picking me, but then they still picked me. So it's like, it's like me picking a team. You know, in middle school, you go, you have two captains, you pick guys. If I picked you, I still picked you, I might've picked you later, but you're still on.
My team, that's a good point, cause, like, I believe it or not, I know I look like an athlete right now. But back in the day, I was a little frumpier, a little less athletic. And I would always love. If I was like, the second to last person to pick, I'd be like, Yeah, that's my guy.
You saved me ride or die, yeah, so I am going to have you list all 16, okay?
You ready? Yeah, you got to count with me, though. Yeah, cause this is crazy.
The fact that there's 16 and you memorize it like Tom Brady does, that was a Brady seven, six, that's that's. Doesn't Brady have six that he lists before that were drafted for him? I'm not sure. 16 is a ridiculous number.
Yeah, but yeah, let's go, you ready, yeah. Jamar Chase, LSU.
That was a good.
Pick Yeah, it was a great pick. Devontae Smith, Alabama, Jalen Waddle Alabama, Kedarious Tony, Florida.
Rashad Bateman Minnesota, Elijah Moore, Ole Miss, Rondell Moore Purdue, Tutu Atwood, Louisville, Dwayne Eskridge Western Michigan.
Terrace Marshall LSU, Amari Rogers Clemson, Nico Collins Michigan, Anthony Schwartz Auburn, Deami Brown UNC.
Josh Palmer Tennessee, DEs Fitzpatrick Louisville, Armand Ross St. Brown USC. Wow.
And you, you just, I mean.
I love it. Wherever you find motivation, right? Like you look at that every day, I have, yeah.
I have it written down on my notebook every day before I go out to practice, I have my goals written down at the top what I want to do this year. And then I got, you know, I got round four, pick one, 12, never forget. Then I got all the receivers one through 16, their name and where they went to college. And I read it every day.
That's that's gotta be.
That's gotta suck to be one of those middle guys like Rashad Bateman's like, Dude, my fault. Like, why, why do you keep? why do you keep saying my name every day? Do a redraft right now, so if you.
Were to, if you were to as a GM on your big board, where would you take yourself? I'm going first. Yeah, I'd be a fool not to say that. Jamar Chase is pretty good.
He is Jamar Chase is pretty good.
But I'm still picking myself every time. I mean, all the receivers will tell you that, okay, so.
Jamar Chase is listening to this interview right now and he's going to be like the people that would be picked before me. According to Aminara St. Brown Aminara St. Brown, U.S.C. Correct, yeah.
Okay, you'd be a fool not to say yourself, that's true. I would pick my, I would pick myself after Jamar Chase, personally, I think he might be a little bit better than me.
But yeah, probably after Devante as well, then somewhere third, maybe this is what, what's this podcast?
Called again part of my take. So you guys, if there was other, what other podcasts are with you guys, like competing with you guys, there's none.
There's none, so you guys are one, so you're.
Just like me, Yeah, No, Joe Rogan's probably ahead of us. Okay, that's fine.
Yeah, maybe Joe Rogan.
Yeah, call her daddy, they're pretty good, are you daddy? Gang? No, no, no, no.
What podcast do you listen to? I don't really listen to many podcasts. I'm gonna be honest. I will say, though, the drake with that, that bobby girl, yeah.
I don't watch podcasts, but my buddy came over and he put it on the screen. I'm like, Well, what are you watching? It's like, just Drake. I don't really see a lot of Drake interviews, so I'm like, I like Drake.
And I'm looking at it, I'm like, I like her, I like the way she's interviewing, it's different, she's in bed.
Like, I've never seen a podcast with someone in bed with some drinks on the side. And she's just talking to him, like, he's a regular dude talking about what's why do you follow so many people? Like just the questions he was asking, I think she's.
You want us to do an interview like that? Yeah, I don't think you can. You can pull it off like her. We can get some pillows in here, yeah.
Well, what was it like growing up in France? I didn't grow up in France. Okay, that's the kind of stuff she has, yeah.
And then they just go off on a tangent about that.
You were, you were in French immersion, though. Growing up. I was in a French immersion school too when I was growing up and I, but you remember it? I don't remember any of it.
I forgot a lot of French, but like someone speaking, I can understand it. But I haven't spoken in so long. That if you don't speak a language for so long, you kind of forget it. So French is a language that I feel like if I went back to France for about two or three weeks.
I'll pick it up like that. You listen to it and you can understand when you listen to people say it. But if you ask me to say anything, it's like, No, I can't, I can't do that at all. It's kind of messed up that they they probably made you learn what, like math and science and French.
Um, yeah, we're doing everything. I mean, math was in French, like you said, science, history, everything. And then you had one hour of of English, so the English teacher would come in. You do English, whatever grammar in English, and then the rest is all French.
You go to recess.
Everyone's speaking French, it's crazy. Did you get in trouble if you spoke English at recess?
Not really. I mean, the kids would probably speak French to each other, I mean English to each other if you wanted. But if you're trying to get like, I want a snack, where's the bath in this? That? and you're talking to, like an elderly, you got to speak French.
Yeah, um, we got to talk about your dad. John Brown, Mr. Universe, 1980 and 81..
Yeah, something like that, I don't know.
Yeah, so what was it like growing up? Uh, you know, we all grew up like with the joke like, my dad could beat up your dad, but you actually could say that to literally everyone, your dad could beat up everyone, right, right?
What was it like, like having a guy like that, pushing you, training you, cause we saw hard knocks like, he's still doing that.
Yeah, it was, um, for me, it was normal. I would say, growing up, that was just the kind of house that I was in. I was speaking German with my mom. Boom.
I'm doing all that speaking English to my dad, flip-flopping in between sentences. If she's talking to me, he's talking to me. I'm going to a French school, um, my dad's working out.
After after school, we're doing all these sports, all these languages, trying to get 4.
0 GPAS. Um, so, for me, it was normal, that's the life I lived. Um, but everyone, you know, the outside looking in, they're like, Damn, you did so much. How were you able to juggle everything?
But I just tell everyone it was. When you're doing it as a young kid, it's kind of like you're used to it. It's almost like, you know, if you were born with, uh, some parents that had a lot of money. That's something where you're just used to. If you were born in a household that, you know, maybe didn't have, you know, much. Growing up and you had to work 14 years old, you're used to that, so for me, I was used to doing everything all at once. Um, like I said, going to different schools, learning different languages, my dad working us out when I was like five, four years old. Um, going to all these different camps, practices, playing these different sports.
It was normal for me, that's just that just bummed me out, cause I'm thinking about my kids. And like, they're going to be used to just people on the street being like, What's up, big cat? Remember when you pitched your pants and like, that's going to be their normal, yeah?
I wish I was Mr. Universe.
When did you start drinking protein?
I would say I was, so how this whole thing worked was my, you know, we worked out. I started working out as a young kid. Boom, what age I was like, five years old, Jeez.
Like lifting weights, yeah, so PVC pipes. I didn't start, you know, real weights, just to get the form down, so bench press. Uh, I didn't back squat when I was young.
I was doing like, dumbbell, hold a dumbbell between your legs and do regular squats. I didn't start doing like real weights, I would say, until I was seven, eight years old. That's kind of soft, yeah.
Seven, eight years old, that's when I started, you know, getting the 45 pound, uh bar to do bench and then some back squat and whatever. Um, but yeah, I was in the gym just to get my form right early on. And back in our garage, we had a garage with some weights. Um, so we. I never really took protein until I would say I was seven, eight years old, but it was a protein that my dad found, um, that we all liked.
We loved the taste of it, um, and it was this brand that, you know, it wasn't a big brand. It was a smaller brand. But my dad found it. We all took it, we loved the taste.
Yada yada yada. So then later, my dad, two years later than that, he's like, you know what? Let me try to make my own protein, So he made his own protein. We started taking it. I was, I would say, I like, nine 10 years old.
Now we never sold it to anyone, it was just us for the for the, for the family, we took it. And then once I got to high school, everyone, you know, I was, I was pretty big.
I was bigger than most of the kids, stronger than almost all of them, stronger than Lyman, everyone. Um, people are always asking, you know what are you taking? People thought we were on steroids, this, that and the other, and you know, we never took anything. And so my dad's like, you know, maybe we should start selling the protein.
So we came out with it, started selling it, and, you know, a bunch of kids in my area were taking it. Um, they all, you know, all said it had results, so it was pretty cool, but early on he never sold it. It was just for us.
Um, and then.
After he started giving it to the public, is there another kid who took the protein? Who's in the NFL?
Now, um, besides your brother, right? Yeah, I think there's a DB that when you grew up where I was from, his name is Keith Taylor's on the Panthers right now, okay?
There's a few that I think I'm sure that I've taken it. Um, I don't know when, you know when they took it, but mostly, I would say in California, a lot of kids that I knew were were were on it.
Yeah, what was the what was the car that you rode in driving around, like, do you have just?
Like every type of sports equipment in it. Uh, honestly, no. My dad, my dad drove a hummer growing up. Yeah, um, yeah, he loved the hummer, so he had the H two.
Um, and that's, you know. We rode around that, it didn't have much, It would always have like a cleats in it. We always rode around with our cleats. Um, maybe a football, football or so. And then some shoes that you can run in, like regular running shoes or lifting shoes.
You know what I mean, yeah, but cleats were always in the car. It's something I always remember is he always said, make sure you don't.
Get anyone without your cleats? I liked that I also read that you, uh, you memorize where?
Players went to college, Um, I, I have a pretty good memory. I would say, yeah. So, like not everyone, but like a lot of receivers, I know where they went to college. Um, just players.
So at USC, uh, you're getting ready for your pro day, for your workouts. When you ran, what was it? Four, six, one, four, five, one, four, five, one. Excuse me. I mean to pack an extra 10th of a second on there, but a four or five one, that's that's the reason why a lot of people gave that you, that you slipped in the draft.
Were you expecting to run fast, or do you think that, like you truly have pad speed? pad speed that does not translate before you're a dash?
I think, um, a lot of, a lot of scouts, a lot of teams they love to look at the 40.
Um, I mean, yeah, that's probably why I did drop in the in the in the process. But I think game speed is a completely different than, you know, 40 speed. There's guys that can run that do run four, four, four, three, but they go out there and they don't look four, three, four, four, four. And there's guys that, you know, run four or five, four, six. That when they go out there, they're they're playing fast. I don't know how to explain it.
They're just moving different than than the other players, it seems like.
I think your coach, Antoine Randall, I feel like he was one of those guys where it's like he ran the best routes. He was so shifty he was, he got, he got separation. But it might not always translate, so some guys stand there with a stopwatch.
Right, it's like, lateral, I mean, you can't. There's no lateral movement in a 40, there's no stop and start in a 40, it's just straight running.
So football, I mean, how many times you just running straight you got to? if you're getting pressed and running a go, you got to make a release. There's always something, there's not just a straight run. Unless you're on a breakaway with with the ball in your hands and knowing the front of you. But other than that, in football, you're always moving left and right.
You got to stop, you got to start. So there's so many little factors I think that go into speed that you can't really judge in a 40. Yeah, they have the three cone drill.
They have different drills at the combine to try to test those things. But at the end of the day, I think you got to watch the tape.
Yeah, yeah, like D.K. Metcalf, he runs a straight line, but he's wildly overrated as wide receiver. Oh, yeah, yeah.
He's not that good, I've got to. I mean, DK have a little thing, but I'm faster than him. I raced him one time. If you cheat in the 40, you can beat anybody.
That's what I learned. Yeah, yeah, I would imagine you haven't ever had like a crisis of confidence. You seem like a very confident guy. But was there a moment that you had, like, a, Oh, I can do this in the NFL?
Like, this is I'm, I'm better than these guys, like I've, I've arrived.
Uh, for me, I'm going to be honest, I always knew I was at a lot of confidence. Like you said, um, so, when I came in as a rookie, I was a fourth rounder. We had, um, we had some receivers here, Tyrell Williams, he was on the charge and the Raiders for a bit.
Um, Kalief Raymond was here, he's still here, um, for shot Paramon was here, uh, a few other guys, so I came in.
Um, and I mean, I knew, I knew I could play, um, for me, the whole my whole thing was I just needed a shot. They were going to throw me the ball, I was going to make the most of it. And so early on the first few games, I mean, I didn't get too many targets. I remember, uh, my rookie year I was, we played the Chargers.
I mean, the Rams in in L.a. Jared. A little homecoming, you know, just got traded and whatnot. And I had my whole family at the game, my friends. Boom, boom, boom. This day and the other. It was like the day before my birthday or the day after my birthday. Um, and I remember going out there playing and I didn't get one target the whole game, not one target.
Everyone was there watching. I, I didn't do shit. Um, it was. It was kind of, you know, it was like, Damn, I'm in L.A. got no targets. It's cool though. Um, and I remember the Vikings game when I caught the game winner, um, I had like 10 catches.
I think I had a lot of catches, whatever, and ever since that game, I feel like, you know, I started getting more targets. And I knew in my head, like, all I need is a shot, cause I know I'm ready. I prepared my whole life for this. Um, so once they gave me a shot, I'm gonna make the most of it.
And that's what I did, and ever since then, I just never looked back, Jared said. That was his favorite.
Throw, Yeah, really, yeah, it was that touchdown catch, yeah.
I think that unlocked you, he's like.
Okay, I got it. I've been on a tear ever since. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it unlocked me.
But it made you guys aware. Yeah, well, I know I always knew about you, okay, when you got.
Drafted. I was like, this guy should go, but I like you. Yeah, now you're on my big board. Would you say you got that dog in you, for sure?
You got it, what about other guys on the team?
Jared, Does he have that dog? Uh, I think for quarterbacks it's different. I mean, you can't, you can't really hit, really hit anyone ever enough to be a dog for like.
For a quarterback, I mean, it's so much different. I mean, that's the one position where, yeah, you can be a dog, but are you really a dog? I mean, you're just throwing balls around, making great, making great throws. He's not a running quarterback.
So he's over, just he's commanding the offense, being being a general. yeah, he's just playing catch with his.
Dogs, literally.
He's like, Air Bud, what about what about Jack Fox? I like him, He's dog I like.
I take that back, Jared's a dog, yeah, Jack Fox can be a dog, yeah.
It's for quarterbacks, just.
Toughness, right? It's just be able to get hit and get up. Yeah, I mean, Jared's tough, for sure.
Yeah, and they sold dog dog, big dog, huge dog, Aiden Hutchinson, dog, dog dog. Yeah, uh, Rodrigo.
Talk dog Yeah, Jack Campbell dog, that seems like early, so yeah.
But I've seen, I've seen.
DaVID MoNTGOMERy Dog Yeah, Gibbs dog. You ever seen David Montgomery's run against the Packers?
I've seen it, yeah, multiple times. Yeah, it's a legendary run.
What was that like? 61 yards up the.
Gut, and we got a field goal out of it.
I want to talk about fantasy real quick. You got a DM from a fantasy owner. Yeah, it started off funny, and then it got a little weird. I'm going to read it.
And then you can maybe give a message to all fantasy owners that might draft you this year. Okay, uh, this random guy dmed Amon Ron said Congrats you've been selected to my fantasy team. With that being said, I want to set some ground rules.
We will be perfect in every aspect of the game. You drop a pass, you run a mile, you miss blocking assignment, you run a mile, you fumble the football. And I will break my foot off in your John Brown Hind parts, and then you will run a mile. Perfection. Like I said, it got a little weird at the end there when he's like, I'm going to kick you in the ass.
But do you have a message to anyone who?
Is thinking about drafting you? Um, I mean, I get so many fancy messages, it's actually insane. Uh, I don't understand what the big deal is why people are so obsessed with fantasy, but.
Well, remember they? I guess I'll never know. Yeah, the fans, the fans do pay your salary, they do, yeah.
And the media, and the media, and you guys, you guys, you'd be playing in a parking.
Lot without us. Yeah, um, but I mean, shoot. My message is if you pick me, you will be in good hands, that's about it, okay?
First of all, I mean, you pick me whenever you want, just pick me.
Okay, I'll pick you, you'll pick me, but I will hold you accountable. Yeah, you will be running.
Miles. I will send you videos when you got that, where you're like, what the hell is going on?
I get so many, but that one was definitely stood out. I'm like, I got to take a screenshot.
What about after game? If people get mad at you, you get a lot of like, hate, fantasy.
Um, I wouldn't, you know, I'm gonna be honest. I haven't had that many bad games in my in my what about that L.A. game? I wasn't on no one's team at that. At that point in time, I was, yeah, I was mad.
Was that on your team throughout the whole year? That was actually me that wrote.
You probably traded me, I did, yeah. You probably are a fantasy legend to a lot of people because like that breaking out and then that stretch run where, like you weren't drafted in a lot of fantasy.
Leagues and people picked you up that rookie, my rookie year. Yeah, it was crazy, cause I had like two touchdowns.
I think it was the playoff, playoffs is what week? It's like 16, one week before the last game, so we play the Seahawks. I like two touchdowns, one rushing, one receiving, over a hundred yards, like nine catches.
And I got so many DMS, uh, people were just thanking me.
It was crazy. You won some leagues. Where's your uh, dad's uh rivalry with Kevin Durant? These?
Days Um, uh, you know, I don't know. You'd have to ask him. He'd probably go on a whole spiel with that, but I don't think he has no, no hate. Verse. KD He just wants to, you know?
Make sure you train your calves. Yeah, that was a PSA for everyone out there, he still tells me.
To make sure I train mine, you do calf raises, I do. Where do you put up? Um, we have, like a standing calf machine.
You put it over, you put the little things on your shoulder. Oh, you know, you work out okay? We live in the gym, yeah.
I can tell, I don't know, maybe you live in the.
Gym The calf is literally the one part of my body that I'm proud of. That's it, yeah, but no.
I put like, however much weight I put on, it's not nothing crazy, just make sure I get my reps.
What do you? What was? What's the max squat? You've ever had? Max squat? I think it was.
Shoot during OTAS. I hit like four, like four, four, 20 or 30. How much do you weigh? Uh, 200, yeah.
That's pretty good grass you got? asked the grass always if it's not all the way down.
It's not, I'm not counting it. That was funny in Hard Knocks, when Katie is probably just sitting at home, watching, like, he's like, Oh, I can't wait, and then he's looking down.
Probably got in the gym after that. When you decided to go to USC, your brother went to Notre Dame, right? did you just go to USC to piss him off? No, honestly, no, I loved.
I love Notre Dame. Um, that was actually between Notre Dame SC. I was like, I don't know which one. I like my brother, though, he ended up declaring early, so we left after three years.
I was like, if he would've stayed one more year, I probably would've went to Notre Dame. Um, but he left early. I was like, you know what, I like Notre Dame. But I want to keep my talent in California, I feel like everyone from a lot of people from California were leaving, taking their talent elsewhere.
Like, why would, right? Bryce Young went from California to to Alabama. I mean, all these players. C.J. Stroud California to Ohio State, like, you can just keep all our talent in California. And I'll go to SC, I feel like I see, would be that much better, but SC is back, so yeah, they're back.
They're going to have to play Big 10 football, don't worry about that. Oh, you sure, I'm positive you think you guys can.
Handle Rutgers You heard of Caleb Williams? Yeah, I've heard of him, he's not going to be.
There forever. Then you got to go to West Lafayette. We'll get another chance for him. Yeah, Caleb Williams is, I mean, do you watch? Like? I'm always curious, like, cause?
You're in the NFL, you're playing. Do you get a chance to watch USC every week?
I do, but the only thing is is the time change is crazy. So if they're playing at seven 30, which a lot of them were last year, it's 10 30 here. And it's the night before my game, so I'm watching two drives going to bed, but if it's like a day game, I can watch the whole thing.
So you probably thought that Utah game was awesome, cause that first two drives were sick. Yeah, talking about the Pacto Championship No at Utah.
When they when basically USC was kicking their ass, then the sunset in Utah woke up. That game was crazy. Yeah, yeah, but the.
Pacto Championship. I was, Yeah, that wasn't great, I was sick, that wasn't great. So you?
Guys, fully back, though, a hundred percent. What does back mean? College football playoffs? Oh, wow.
That's a low bar, that's the standard. Yeah, the standard is the standard.
In it right now, yeah, I mean, it was like last year in the Pac 12, you get to play all those, you know, soft West Coast kids. Don't run the football, take it right now.
Go for it right now. Do you do you, uh, watching all the nil stuff? Are you like, man, I would've made so much money?
Um, I mean, I probably would've made some money, but I don't know how much. I always wondered to myself, How much are these dudes really making? Do you guys know?
I think quarterbacks are getting in the millions like, big time, big time.
Like?
What's the time? Uh, probably like 3 million, yeah, cause the boosters in Austin, you know that.
Yeah, you know the boosters, I knew red mcCombs, there are boosters, too, we have podcast boosters.
Yeah, um, but yeah, like most players, I think, like average players, probably making, I don't know, 10 20, right? Yeah, yeah.
Nothing crazy. Yeah, nothing, we just.
We just gave free cheese steaks for for a year to a guy at ACT or at a Toledo, really, so that's pretty good. That's, you can't put a price tag on that, right?
Yeah, yeah, that's huge, that's.

Do I want to give you guys this? Did you ask this to Jared?
Yeah, he said, Uh, 15 and two, Yeah, you're lying. No, he did.
He did. you guys are good liars. he did. I'm a terrible liar, terrible.
All right, fine, if you don't want to answer.
That question, I have a backup question. Yeah, he did. 15 actually answered it. Yeah, well, we kind of pushed. It was a roundabout way.
Okay, yeah, so where's? I'll give you a roundabout way? Okay? Um, how fast is Justin Fields?
I never won against him, but from what my brother says, he's fast, he's fast. Yeah, yeah, no, you guys are Bears fan.
I'm Bears fan, so we said, I said, 15 and two, but the two losses are the bears. Yeah, yeah, really.
Yeah, interesting.
What, what's wrong? Uh yeah, yeah, very excited.
You sound like, my brother, what? What is that supposed to mean? He's excited, too, He was excited last year.
He was excited.
Like last year, last year was exciting, not in the win and loss column, but it was exciting, was it? You had fun watching?
Oh, yeah, I had a lot of fun. I do know the history of Bears quarterbacks, that's good, it hasn't been great.
Yeah, so yeah, I like you, you're, you're mad. Yeah, I'm just messing with you.
He's going to shut you down. Who is Justin Fields? No.
Your brother, he's going to shut me down. Yeah, how does that work? We're just going to put them.
Out there and shadow you the whole game.
What's the motivation when you play the Bears? Do you find motivation for every team? Like a specific like, No, but I love playing against my brother's.
Team So when he was in the Packers, I love playing the Packers. I still love playing the Packers just because of the Packers and then the Bears. I love playing them. Because he's on the team and I know some players on the team through him, um, but I just whatever team he's on, I love playing against.
Okay, but so now he's on the bear. So. But like, can you find? Oh yeah.
There we go, gunpoint, all right. Can you find the motivation for each team, though, like the.
Jaguars, Jaguars. I mean, no, I think each team is, I don't really find them, it's just another.
Game Yeah, it's just whether they drafted one of the 16 guys, I just know that they have someone.
That, you know, I just have someone that was drafted before me is on the team. Careful with that. I got my eyes on him, I'm watching him, okay?
Okay, I like that, that's great, right?
Finding that grudge everywhere, the mental notes. Yeah, I got one last question. I might get my ass kicked.
So can you promise not to kick my ass for asking this, go ahead? Was that a yes? I promise, but go ahead.
Okay, that was not a yes. I might get my ass kicked. Uh, we had Von Miller on the show.
We just talked to him, dog, absolute dog. Yeah, um, he told us that he kisses his dad on.
The lips when still, Yeah, still.
Do you kiss your dad on the lips? No, I kissed my dad on the lips growing up until I would say, what? Like? Till I got to high school. Um, but then in high school, I think a few times I kissed him on the lips. Like, when I, what was it?
When I graduated, I think when I committed, um, so I a lot of people think it's weird. Um, I kissed my mom on the lips, too, um, I kissed my brothers on the lips when I was growing up. And my dad made us do it so we'd get in fights.
Um, after the fight was over, he would make us kiss each other on the.
Lips That's a good way to defuse it. You can't stay mad at somebody after you kiss them on the lips. I do that in fights sometimes.
Just kiss them on the lips, that was going to be my plan. If you try to beat my ass, I'm just going to kiss you. But now my dad made us do it, so I think.
Uh, I mean, it's not a thing I think in America really, but yeah, I think it's a. I mean, Germany is kind of normal. Um, so it was normal for me growing up. That'd be awesome if after.
You played the bears you met in the middle of the field. Kiss on the lips. Yeah, we went to battle all right. Well, thanks so much, man.
This has been awesome. Appreciate you coming on. And uh.
Best of luck this year, except against the Bears. Yeah, thank you. yeah, appreciate it.
Oh, I'm in. Ross. St. Brown was brought to you by Barstool Bites, more specifically, the part in my cheesesteak. Are you tired of sad, limp and flavorless cheesesteaks? Do you crave something that will make your taste buds dance with joy and happiness?
