This podcast is brought to you by eHarmony, the dating app to find someone you can be yourself

with.

Have you ever been on a date where it feels like the other person is speaking an entirely

different language?

Not actually a different language, but it's like you're both just completely not getting

each other.

I've been on a first date before with a woman that didn't like golf.

She was a workaholic.

She didn't like vacations.

And it was clear she didn't get my personality and it showed.

Finding someone who gets you is hard, right?

That's because we're human.

And there's lots of different humans out there.

That's why eHarmony helps you bring out your personality on your dating profile so you

can meet someone you can be fully yourself with.

After you've completed eHarmony's compatibility quiz, you see personality-based similarities

you share with potential matches.

When you match based on personality, you're already one step ahead when it comes to meeting

someone who gets you.

So if you're searching for someone you can be yourself with, I'd love for you to try

eHarmony.

Take their compatibility quiz to get started today.

eHarmony, get who gets you.

On today's part of my take, we have a twofer for the people.

We have Derek Carr.

An interview we thought we'd never do.

But it was awesome.

He's a great guy.

We are Derek Carr fans now.

Great interview with him.

Got some awesome stories.

Talked about his career.

We also have our good friend Shane Bacon on to preview the Open Championship.

You thought this was going to be the worst week in sports, but we have the Open Championship.

We get to wake up at, I think, 4.09 on Thursday to watch Max Homa play.

We're going to do a choose-your-own-adventure of the All-Star Game.

Um, we have the Mount Rushmore that will probably piss the most people off because we're going

to do the Mount Rushmore of movies or shows that we have not seen.

This is going to make people very, very angry.

I don't know how they're going to react in the voting process if they're going to see,

uh, like really all-time classics that we pick and get mad at us.

Yeah, and then vote against us.

And not vote for us.

Yeah, but it's going to be great.

And then we're going to do Hot Seat Cool Throne.

We have Guys on Chicks packed show for you on Wednesday.

And we're brought to you by our friends at DraftKings.

It's finally here.

Today is Wednesday, July 17th.

And I'm going to say it right now, boys.

The Home Run Derby is officially dead and here's why.

We've talked about it in the past.

The Home Run Derby has lost its luster.

The Juice Ball Home Run Derby, the way this the format was set.

The Home Run Derby is dead because all it took was one horrific national anthem to steal the night.

Yeah, that was a tough way to get it started.

Very tough way.

And that's the story though of the Home Run Derby.

The story was how bad, I mean, Donald Trump getting his ear shot off maybe had the right idea.

Didn't have to listen to that.

Man, that was bad.

I didn't tweet that out last night.

Oh, good.

I didn't.

I thought about it.

And then I saw the memes happen and I was like, okay, now it's a safe space to do it.

Yeah, it's the Klay Thompson ear bleeding.

It's ear bleeding.

It was horrific.

It was.

Who was it?

It was awful.

I don't know, but apparently she's been nominated for several Grammy Awards.

What?

Yeah, it seemed like a prank in real time.

It really did.

And it also, it was so bad.

It was one of those videos, if you pulled it up on your phone and started playing it,

people would look and be like, are you watching porn?

Yeah.

Because there was like some shrieks in there.

Ingrid Andress.

Oh, Ingrid, that's tough.

Yeah.

And then the end, when she tried to really do something at the end with the scoops,

it was awful.

The Home Run Derby itself stunk too.

It was bad.

I mean, there's countless ways that you can improve the Home Run Derby.

We just want to see all the dingers.

Yeah.

We want to see the ball hit the bat.

We want to see the ball sail.

We want to see it land.

And then we want to wait for the next pitch.

Yes.

Is that so hard to do?

It shouldn't be that hard to fix this.

No.

Shout out the Oscar Hernandez.

Yeah, the Oscar Hernandez.

Hell Oscar.

Yeah.

Had a great night.

Yeah.

Winning the Home Run Derby.

Pete Alonso, bad night.

And that's all he cares about.

Yep.

But yeah, it was, I don't know.

I wish, Home Run Derby used to mean something, man.

We sound like old men, but I feel like it's the truth.

It is the truth.

I think our idea that we had last year was one of the best, which is

if you test positive for steroids,

you can get out of your suspension by winning the Home Run Derby.

Breaking news.

Give us a cow, Max.

Is that woo?

Woo.

So we already taped earlier today, but the National Anthem,

Ingrid Andrus released a statement saying,

I'm not going to bullshit y'all.

I was drunk last night.

I'm checking myself into facility today to get the help I need.

That was not me last night.

I apologize to MLB, all the fans in this country.

I love so much for that rendition.

I'll let you all know how rehab is.

I hear it's super fun.

Hopefully she gets better.

Also incredible move because now this goes down.

Like if she gets better, it goes down as like the funniest,

coolest National Anthem ever.

This is how I knew to turn my life around.

Yeah.

Because I made America weep.

Yeah.

So yeah, I hope she's good.

She says, see you in rehab.

Here, it's fun.

Oh.

So I don't know if that's accurate or not.

I don't know who she should talk to about rehab.

Um, if I screwed up the National Anthem, this would be a good PR 101 move though.

It's always a great move.

Just whenever you screw anything up to say I'm seeking treatment.

Right.

I need to, I need to work on myself.

I'm seeking treatment.

But yeah, that was, I mean, at least now we have an explanation for it because that would

have been bad for her singing career if that was actually her.

Yep.

And, and also in the actual Home Run Derby, Max, was there controversy in,

in your Phillies guy losing the semifinals?

Yeah.

Well, are you talking about the foul ball?

Well, I'm talking about that and also the format.

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

I heard a rumor that they did a different format than they were supposed to do.

I don't know if that's true.

Oh, I didn't know that.

I did not know that.

Yeah.

And the foul ball didn't really seem that controversial, but I didn't hear that.

So I just kind of guessed.

Oh.

Well, he hit a home run.

His last swing of like the regular round was close to being a home run, but it was

pretty clearly foul.

I think some, some Philly people thought that it was supposed to be a 60 second swing off

in the semifinals.

Ah.

But MLB changed it to just what three slams.

They screwed Schwarber the other year.

They did.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So this is, they got it out for Philly.

Uh, okay.

That was breaking news.

Back to what we were talking about.

Um, and then we have the all-star game, which will choose your own adventure.

Cause we're going to hit some dingers tonight.

Uh, Paul Skeens was electric.

He was.

Shout out MLB, by the way, for actually doing the right thing and having Paul Skeens start

this game.

Well, Rob Manfred said that if they didn't make the right decision, they would have stepped

in.

So apparently the manager made the call.

That's a, but then that's Rob Manfred trying to get credit for something that he, that's

bullshit.

I would have done it too.

Is what Rob Manfred said.

They did.

They screwed it on the AL side because the AL's future AL Cy Young, Tariq Scoogle is

not starting.

Uh, and he is going to be the AL Cy Young.

As that guy sent me the envelope.

What are you laughing about?

I said, per you in Detroit.

Yeah.

No, well, not per me, per the guy who gave me the envelope that said bet him right now.

He is the odds on favor right now.

Nice.

Yeah.

So he's having a great year.

Uh, did the NL win?

How many years in a row is it?

Uh, the NL nine and one AL, I think in the last 10, the NL did not win sadly tonight.

Damn it.

It's hard to win on the road.

It's hard to win on the road.

Hostile crowd.

All right.

So that's, that's another, another loss for the NL.

Brutal.

I, you know what I'm gonna say?

The NL won that way we can cover both our bases.

You think they broke the streak?

I don't know what the streak is at right now.

What is it at?

NL all star losing streak.

I do think they won one.

Uh, oh no, they, they, they, they won one.

They won last year, right?

I think the streak was over last year.

It was nine games in nine years in a row.

The midsummer classic.

Who could forget?

Yeah.

They slapped it.

Yeah.

How could we forget last year?

The NL won.

So, so AL is going to win.

Yeah.

AL is going to win.

Max is looking it up right now.

By the way, we have our interns starting on Wednesday, correct?

Tomorrow?

Today?

Today.

Today.

Very excited to introduce him to you.

He's going to have to, because, because we, we obviously, you know, Jake left.

We, we need a, someone who's on their computer who can just be like, and this guy, by the way,

he's not going to be able to do that, but he's going to at least give us moments where we're

like, okay.

Based on his past, I don't think we should allow him near a computer.

Yes, that's correct.

We'll have him tell the story when he gets debuted on Friday.

We'll, we'll, we'll, we'll introduce him to the audience.

And he, he had one story that, that basically hooked us for life based on content, but the,

yeah, so the NL won last year.

Who could forget?

We obviously knew that.

But the AL had won nine in a row before that.

So the streak is over.

AL is back on top.

AL is back on top and a new streak begins right now.

Oh, maybe a new streak starts with the NL.

I'm back on the NL.

You think the NL, it's flipped?

This has been some really interesting talk.

With bigger bases?

PFT, before we get to, uh, our Mount Rushmore and our hot seat, cool throne.

I was, uh, I was, you know, cruising around the internet trying to find some, some sports

stuff going on.

This is the deadest week in the sports calendar by far.

And that means that ESPN will do something, uh, that, you know, remember when they ranked

States, I believe was it, was it States?

Did they do States?

Cause I've got a, I've ranked States before.

I can't remember.

SVP did something back in the, in the day where it was either States or whatever.

Who's now.

Who's now was one of them.

They're doing the top hundred.

That was what I was going to bring up.

So top 100 professional athletes since 2000 and they released, uh, numbers 51 through

60 today.

American Pharaoh.

Alex Ovechkin, 54.

Okay.

How do we feel about that?

Also, which makes us respect hockey.

That one's Derek, this is a great hat tip to ESPN.

An incredible engagement troll move.

They ranked Derek Jeter 53 and that would get people very upset.

But then you remember he won the majority of his championships in the nineties.

In the nineties.

Yeah.

That was a, that was a savvy, savvy move by them.

Takes out the meat of his career.

Yeah.

They should have done like MJ 100.

That's bullshit.

That's bullshit.

That, uh, Ovi is so far down.

Like Hank said, it's disrespectful to hockey.

It's disrespectful to the entire country of Russia.

The man is about to surpass Wayne Gretzky for the top goal scorer of all time in the

NHL.

What hockey players would be above them?

I don't know, but they also ranked, he was above two soccer players.

Why do we have soccer in this?

Luca Modric and Alexia Patelis.

Okay.

Yeah.

It's garbage.

Why would we, JJ Watt, 58.

That's got to make you feel a little better.

Yeah.

JJ Watt, he should be higher though.

I know that's what I'm saying.

Make you feel better about Ovechkin because JJ Watt is very, very good.

These lists are designed to make you mad.

Yeah.

That's what they exist for.

It's like, oh, they have track and field.

When Apple did their top 10 albums of all time, I think they had Frank Ocean ahead of

Stevie Wonder.

Yeah.

This is a crazy list.

They, they, they've gone every sport.

There's so, there's more soccer and track and field.

Sean White's on there.

Mookie Betts, Hank, 73.

Great player.

I don't think there's going to be a, a single, uh, Bryce Harper is 79.

Yeah.

These are Chris Paul, 83.

Yeah.

These are just made to make you mad.

We should do ours.

Oh, I have a prediction.

We should do our top 100.

I have a prediction.

Yeah.

I think ESPN is going to put Serena number one.

Oh.

Just to make people mad.

Tiger's got to be very high.

Tiger's going to be up there.

Tiger also started in the nineties.

That's true.

But his.

The masters win.

Yeah.

Dominant masters, but the Tiger slam was in the 2000s.

Rory was 93.

Yeah.

I think you're right.

I think they'll do Serena.

They're going to go like Serena one.

Um, and then like, uh, like the rest of the top 10 is just going to be the U S women's

national team.

Yeah.

American Pharaoh should be top 10.

Flightline.

Yeah.

Flightline.

Flightline should be number one.

Conor McDavid's 98.

And Ed Reed, Charles Woodson, 100.

Okay.

So yeah, this is going to make us mad.

Yeah.

That's fine.

They have now hooked me.

They've hooked me into it.

I got to see, do you think they'll do Serena over like Tom Brady?

Cause Tom Brady also has the perfect, uh, his, his career was literally the last 20 years.

Yeah.

It started 2001.

Right.

Yeah.

It should be Tom Brady, Serena duking it out for number one overall.

And LeBron as well.

LeBron also was, so it's, it should be Brady, LeBron, Serena, but it will be Serena, LeBron,

Brady, maybe Sachin Tendulkar, the cricket player.

Yeah.

That could throw him in there.

This will be, this will be spicy.

We're how high does the homes go?

I mean, shout out to ESPN for figuring out a way to fill up July.

Yeah.

Adrian Beltran is 52.

This right now, today, this is when we should be talking about the NBA NFL debate.

Yep.

This exact day right now, Austin Rivers should have gone on McAfee show and drop that bomb

on us.

Yep.

Got us through two weeks.

This is a hot dog.

It's a sandwich.

We wasted two weeks.

Yeah.

During the NBA playoffs and NHL playoffs when we could just make a meal out of that.

We said it in real time too.

Yeah.

This is not when we're supposed to do this.

We're supposed to wait, but yeah, I'm hooked now.

Now the real question is going to be who is going to be the best male tennis player on

the list?

Is it Federer, Djokovic?

Djokovic.

I think we can agree Nadal last.

And Nadal for sure last.

It'll be Federer.

Yeah.

Which is bullshit because Djokovic worked him multiple times and has more.

Can it be Alcatraz?

He's 16 years older.

I know this is just going to happen to me.

Federer and Djokovic are a lot closer in age though.

Are they going to have any drivers on there?

Are they going to have any like F1 guys on the list?

Yeah.

Verstappen.

Lewis Hamilton.

Hamilton.

Yeah.

More wins.
