Nate Bargatze, Mt Rushmore Of Breakfast, Training Camp Has Started And Listener FAQ’s

Hey, pardon my take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube, Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

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?

Eharmony Get who gets you on? Today's part of my take. We have our good friend, comedian, funniest guy, one of the funniest guys going right now. Yeah, Nate Bargatze, talking some golf with him, having some fun with him. Nate is one of the funniest guys out there.

Down down, down, down, down down. No place to hang out or wash in, and then I can't game all.

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

I am.

And Hank, we have an issue. we're in school right now. Hank, you're a teacher. Are you ready for your assignment? I am.

Is our darling? Jake texted PFT and I, Oh, no, fuck oh, you're not ready. It's like a whale thing.

No, no, no, no Hank, no, you had an assignment for me. no, our darling Jake texted PFT and I.

Said I have three, three different reminders set for this week, the first reminder, uh, which you know what we can do another time, Uh, because we're, we're. We have a bunch of stuff going on right now and Hank's traveling on Thursday. Yep, no, that is not yours. Uh, we're going to do NFL coaches draft.

Idea where this came from? I forget the context behind it, but Hank said that he would teach us.

An economics class, econ one-on-one class. I know you're not ready right now, um, but you'll be ready for Friday. I'm not gonna be here. Oh so, you already failed.

You guys a's, so then we pass, No, we're going to do it, you have to do it. Class.

What's a fair amount? There's a difference one's a math class, the other is economics, yeah.

What's a fair timeframe? How much time do you need to teach us an econ one-on-one? We want to see what Hank Lockwood comes up with econ one-on-one a week. Maybe we do it on the bus. A great week.

Teach us what the salary cap is. Oh, okay, second apron, yep, get that going.

If you became our capologist, this show would go to the moon. I'm not saying that you're holding us back, but that specific thing is definitely holding us back. Yeah, yeah, I'll try.

Have liked Jake to have texted me that, but that's all right. Yeah, it's okay, he kind of set you up.

Yeah, but also he was being, he was being responsible, he's texting us. The rivalry continues. Yeah.

We were getting an Econ class and the NFL coaches draft and the all-time ranking groups for.

Position Let's do the NFL coaching draft. uh, while you do the Econ draft, we'll do a we'll.

Do a we'll do a combo. We're going to get so lost in that snake, it's going to be insane, so.

Lesson rounded the draft. That's, that's some. I don't think anyone's ever done that on a podcast. I like this, I like this, this is going to be use the listeners purposefully.

Terrible audio. It's going to be educational. Yeah, I do have an economics question as it pertains to the NFL. Oh, do you think that Jordan Love deserves to be the highest paid quarterback in football?

Going to say about Jordan Love real quick. Um, I don't I. This has nothing to do with him being a packer. He's holding out right now, for people who aren't paying attention, he's holding out, he's not going to practice.

This is the, uh, the downside to the Packers of like, the way that they do their quarterback system. They draft a guy and let them sit for a while and then they get out there. And they play like one half of the season, like one of the best quarterbacks in the league. And I was like, Shit, now we have to pay them immediately, they don't get any of those.

Yeah, their guys, their guys are too good that they have to pay them right away. Let me ask your question, PFT. If you were a fan of a team, uh, would you rather your quarterback win the Heisman Trophy?

Training camp comes afterwards, I'm going to say I would rather have my quarterback miss mini camp. I wait, wait, wait. Is it mandatory mini camp? Uh, kind of, it's a little bit, it's understated.

My team Okay, so, um, I bring this up because Aaron Rogers has shown up to training camp, which was up in the air. Because, if you remember, on our On Wednesday or a Monday show, he said. When we asked him is he going to training camp, he said, Yeah, probably. Uh. As first reported by us, the yeah part.

Than Jordan Love We Miss Me yet. Hmm, yeah, interesting to think about it.

What, what would you guess? Thursday? It could be even today? Yeah, it could be today. Today. They'll get paid and they'll just be back at camp and it'll be nothing.

Player per year is Joe Burrow, he gets 55 million a year, which just signed his contract also.

I hand up spent way too much time this morning thinking about Joe Burrow's hair.

Yeah, so he shaved his head and then he bleached his head. yes, so he looks like Eminem right now.

So I the shaved head, I was like, Bangles are going to win the soup bowl all business. It almost looked like a mug shot. He's like, I don't need hair, I don't need, I don't need any of these frills better than you. Uh, so that was me, the bleached hair.

Out, it does look like Eminem, it looks like straight out of 1998, but that feels like fashion.

Joe's bet like, I was totally in on Joe Burrow, being like, I'm going to training camp, I'm going to shave my head like a marine. And this is like, This is, this is war this season, but then to.

Bleach it like late Nineties. But wait, what I think is going to happen? I think this is, uh, this is just team building. This is just a guy being a dude. Letting them make fun of it and make fun of them during training camp. And then I think once the regular season starts, then it's business hair, I like that.

With bleached hair. Yeah, Hank, Uh, by the way, what you said? So wait, not one single game, I don't think, not a regular season, yeah.

Because you've, I haven't even noticed, yeah, I. I was a shaved head guy until I was like 20. Cause my friend did haircuts and I was too broke to get other haircuts. So yeah, you just go.

I just rocked the bus. You go out, you buy one of those clippers and then you're number three, yeah.

So if you don't do the Econ lesson on grit, we got to reshape.

You know so much about econ already, it's true. How to not pay taxes, False everything.

Make more money by not paying taxes. Yep, all these things I am going to think about, uh.

I will be, I will be at the beach this weekend, I might try and get some sun in there, like, get.

My hair blonde, Yeah, so Joe Burrow, Yeah, okay.

Podcast I've been raw dog in the sun this summer, by the way, I haven't been using any sunscreen. Pause, yeah.

Pause, I said, The Sun, you didn't say which? you didn't say. Oh, you're a pervert.

That's gross. Um, yeah, I should probably start putting on sunscreen, but it's it's nice having a tan, because when you're fat you just got to. If you can't tone it, you got to tan it. Haven't used a single ounce of sunscreen. It doesn't feel like a manly thing. I know again, this is not something people should do.

Something about just raw dog in the sun. What I like to do is I go out for the first hour, no sunscreen and then I put it on, get a little base coat going. But yeah, you can't. If you're going on a vacation, you can't do the first day sunscreen list, because then you just.

Ruin the whole trip, I just get, Yeah, um, but I, I don't really burn that bad. So get the swarthy.

Olive skin, Yeah, us Italians, me and Max.

I'm an Italian father. Yeah, so, uh, okay, the other quarterback I wanted to talk about.

You guys see Bryce Young coming in, I did see Bryce Young, or, like me, he had an accidental six-year-old day. It happens from time to time. Swag.

Yeah, cause I was like, especially when your last name is young, yeah. And he was kind of. I was toying around with the idea of being like, maybe buy stock in Bryce Young this year, you know? Because there's always one guy that everyone's written off. And then I saw that again. It's a four second clip, but this is how we consume our NFL.

They look, there's that, yeah, the the the walkup. When you show up to training camp and some guys drive those like spider cars in, you know, they get. Do you rent a car for that day?

Training camp, it does, your team. Is your team about to get into a fight? Yeah, that's, that's training camp.

Each other, Yeah. How bad is Lamar Jackson's diarrhea? Bad, bad two days.

Do you think will have a report about there being an actual fight over NCAA? Oh, I didn't even think.

About that, what team has, like the biggest mix of different SEC players?

Cause, man, I'm so jealous of everyone who's been able to just basically fuck off for the last two weeks. And just do nothing but play this game. Because I've not played, you have, mentally, in a way, yeah, I mean, I've I. When I'm playing, it's on stream. I've had very little practice time. But like, I'm talking about the dude who's listening to this right now, who's 27 years old, single, no kids, nothing, no responsibilities, not, doesn't have roommates, so maybe a little bit past the roommate time. And he's working at nine to five, and he has played this game a hundred hours in the last seven days.

The guy whose apartment is just the folding chair, the TV, and that's it, yeah, he just has been like.

I'm not going to talk to anyone, I'm not going out. I'm just going to rip dynasties for the next seven days, or probably more than that, a couple of weeks. Uh, until they, like, resurface into into, you know, regular civilization. That guy is living the dream.

First day in the in the sports calendar year, at least for the last 10 years, where the optimal day to get a vasectomy is not before March. Madness. Yeah, it was right before this game came out.

Yeah, but even then, if you're getting a vasectomy, that means you have kids, that means you're probably not playing the game without playing as much like I just don't a recreational vasectomy. I had a very, I had a very sad, uh, conversation with our friend Scott van Pelt because he loves this game.

Coastal Carolina. That would actually be a great thing for for dads to be able to do, just adults in general. Uh, spend a week where you're essentially in prison, but it's a prison of your own choosing. Where you get to bring like a piece of technology in there. Yeah, you get to sleep however much you want.

Do shit so I do. I'd play, I'd play this game. Yeah, I'd play this game. What were we talking about?

Team question Most likely, that is a fair question. Hmm, feels to me like it could be from the A.F.C. South.

Are going to fight over this, do it. It's Christian Kirk on the Jaguars, so he's a gamer.

Right, I don't know if he's still on the Jaguars, but yeah, oh, I mean, the Cardinals Kyler Murray, or yeah, Cardinals Kyler Murray is going to get his ass kicked. This week. We got to do new faces.

Soon, Yep, yeah, we got to, we got to do that whole, maybe get a quiz going here, we can set it up.

Those guys who have that right now, it is nice, it's the best, it is nice you just if you just.

Know this, just just take this. If you're one of the people I just described, just take one second out of your day and be like, Yeah, I am living in the good old days. You think that's why Joe Biden?

Dropped out? Yeah, probably more time to play college football, yes. Delaware State National.

I love this college football game. Um, all right, any other sports stories that we can talk about?

Olympics coming up? Yeah, I got one of those in my hot seat, cool throne. Okay, oh yeah.

Did save? or was that it? So? No, it wasn't. LeBron did save. Team USA. We were playing against Germany.

Yup, uh, Aaron Rogers very conflicted, which was a good guy in that game. I watched that clip back.

That was crazy. Yeah, it was that he took a second. He's like, Where are we? I think he's just, I think Aaron is, so he's in a mode now where he just questions everything, which I don't have a problem with. Cause.

Yeah, you're right, he just likes to say, Where are we? yeah, are we? Just to kind of like, let you know that he thinks that he's smarter than you sometimes, yeah.

That's up to debate. Were we good for dropping the box? That is a hundred percent up to debate. Yeah, um, yeah.

Then we were winning, then we're losing again, and then he made a basket at the end, so yeah.

With his offhand, uh, well, was it? Yeah, I think he made a. was it not with his right?

Which he shot with for 40 years. Yep, uh, okay. We have a a big, big story coming out of the SEC and that is that they've decided which team is going to be UT, Oh, Texas or Tennessee.

Oh man, this is huge. I mean, I think Tennessee gets the rights to it, but I think when I think of UT, I feel like I say Tennessee, and when I think of UT, I say Texas. Yep.

Right, the SEC agrees, Right, Texas is Tex.

Tex, tex. Oh, this is for the graphic I'm an idiot I was thinking of.

Not getting Ut. No, no, I think it's tex t e x ut is now Tennessee, but I'm saying, I think I've seen t e n n.

Guess Tennessee gets right to this? That's. I have no problem, yeah, but I do, like when the score bug says t e n.

Yeah, UCLA is probably like, Oh, okay, noted, Yeah, okay.

Uh, and then also we have there's more smoke going around about the 18 game schedule.

Yeah, so the NFL PA and the N.FL have had discussions about the 18 game schedule. I think we figured it out with Joe Burrow, Yeah, when we talked before. The Bleach got to double by. And then Super Bowl, it's. It's been a no brainer to have the Super Bowl on a President's Day weekend.

Should line up, yeah, and it's basically eliminates winter, yeah, because if you have football on, winter doesn't exist.

Going to is this going to affect? Obviously it'll affect revenue, so that would mean that salaries go up. Do we get anything more? and then we've got to work more? Yeah, we should get more.

To be this before Jordan Love. But I think we just passed Tua. It's kind of at one point it was.

Great for Tua to see all these deals getting done, yeah, and then at some point it became bad for Tua. Where he's like, Am I going to get my long-term deal? Yeah, and there'll be C.J. Stroud soon.

I guess he has to go three years first. Um, yeah, I guess tua did tua get lost? Yeah, I think tua.

Purdy's going to be a fun one. I cannot wait for the Brock Purdy, that's going to be so great.

Yep, um, what are you going to say, Max? You had something to say? No, uh, memes once in.

Were Tua and Jordan Love in the same draft class?

Yes, it was. Herbert Burrow tua.

Me, Yeah, we should've. Jalen Hurt's also in this draft class.

We were talking about first round quarterbacks, uh, we should've. we were talking about guys, that are the guys you said, draft class.

Chase Young that year, UH, almost had the opportunity to draft Joe Burrow, or just Herbert or Tua. But Max, have you heard? Have you heard the rumors that they're not going to be running the uh, the um, push, push, push, push this year? Or not running? As much? I want, I want the rest.

Of the N.FL to think that cause. Jason Kelsey No, Jason Kelsey, Yeah, but Jason, have you heard that Jason Kelsey has been in the locker room and he's got a locker in the coach's office? And.

He's been in more than any of the other players, is he coach? and he's a coach, and he's a, uh. ESPN analyst. Yep.

Uh, no, but he's been in, he's been in the locker and helping the boys. uh, I feel like he's going.

To play this year. Cause he didn't look like he had lost, he looked good. Yeah, he didn't look like he lost like a bunch of weight or anything.

At the center position, God forbid, you think Jason Kelsey is not going to come back if he.

Has an office in the building and the team's good listen. If he wants to come back, I would love to.

Have him, but I want him to enjoy his life. Because if he came back, this would be an even better tush push because you'd have saquon behind him. Yeah, you want whatever you want, whatever's best. For Jason Kelsey, that's like 1200 pounds worth of squats in the backfield, pushing forward. Yeah, no, there's some thighs back there.

Yeah, yeah, some thighs. Yeah, so I guess two has got a. We got to. Maybe we should just start, I mean, we are part of tune on, maybe we should be like, Hey, what about to to awareness?

What the fuck's happening? The hawk, the hawk to a girl stole his thunder. Yeah, we need.

We need to to get paid. Come on, Mike McDaniel, spit on that thing.

Going to say, Yeah, I was going to say, Uh. In keeping with the summer concert series, Pup Punk is playing on August 2nd, Friday in Columbus. Hell yes, just found out today Mark Titus will be in Columbus that weekend.

Been to a pop punk show? They absolutely rock. Uh, okay, hot seat, cool drone hank.

Oh, my hot seat is people. There's a viral video today of a whale essentially breaching, and it seemed like it was like attacking or knocking over a boat on purpose. Yeah, people, uh, William, William, Football reported.

Right, that's what people were trying to say. It seems like they're already blaming the whale.

That's what I'm saying. And people, people were giving me shit for picking blue whales on orcas. I, I've said this before, I orcas are cool, but they're like a cursed animal. Why?

Cursed, too, Tillicum was the one in Blackfish, Oh yeah, the one whose dorsal fin started to fold.

Over cause it was sad, got it, and and orcas weren't, like, you know, predatory or as evil as.

They are, they're fighting back. Yeah, they, basically, but that was, they are called killer.

Whales, but they weren't killer whales until Tillicum. Whatever, I feel bad for orcas, but whatever, then this blue whale video came out. everyone was saying, this is like, what orcas do? This is a killer whale move.

A blue whale, but it is a blue whale. Yeah, blue whales kind of cucked everyone with the blue.

Yeah, we're the only ones, cause there's a lot of blue whales. Yeah, we're the white podcasters.

Yeah, I reached out to a whale photographer. Yeah, got some intel.

And the boat right of way in water is always the s the bigger boat has right of way. Is that true?

Heck, it is the smaller boat, what is it not? Probably you took a boating class.

You, what direction you're going in? No, but if you're a bigger boat, it's harder to maneuver through. You have the right of way, do you not? It depends on you're an extra.

Well, I know it depends on direction, what other direction would matter if you're going the same direction, like if you're coming up and the boat's going straight?

Like, t-bone, or you're talking about t-bone, yeah, the bigger one still has the right of way.

But if it was reversed and the smaller boat was going this way, and the bigger boat was coming.

This way, I think the bigger boat would still have the right of way you're talking about, just.

Two boats colliding into each other. I don't know what you mean when you are you saying if-.

But the smaller boat is always the one that has to get out of the way, but if it's like 10 feet.

Versus 20 feet, it's well. Then you wouldn't, then they wouldn't hit each other if it was.

10 feet first wait, what do you mean, 10 feet versus 20 feet? What are you talking about?

He's saying, if one boat, are you saying if one boat is 10 feet in front of the other?

If a 10 foot boat, a 20 foot boat, it depends on the direction, on who has the right of way.

Well, a 20 foot boat would have it. Yeah, because they're bigger. That's not true. I'm pretty sure the ocean is actually how the world should work.

I don't think he took a crap. It was not an evil. Those were not. There's going to be a lot, those whales were not attacking.

There's going to be a lot of corrections on this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was not an evil whale, is what you're saying, correct? The whale was just being a whale, correct?

Wrong place, wrong time. Also, the whale was much bigger than the boat, therefore the whale had right of way. Sure.

Did they arrest the whale? No, are they going to kill the whale like in jaws? Did they at least get his license plate?

No, okay, this is a problem.

What did you just? So what's your-?

Oh, oh, he googled it, he googled it. I'm not even a boater. Oh, no.

Much bigger than yours. Have the right of way, okay?

20 double a 10 foot boat. You're not going to stand there and be like.

That's a 23 foot boat. I've got a 20 footer. a 20 foot boat is literally double the size.

In theory, there are plenty of situations where they do not have the right of way.

In theory, what theory? They have the right of way.

Are you reading a blog post? If another vessel is approaching you from the port or left side of your boat, so it depends on the direction.

There's no way that's what you're, that's exactly what I said.

What's Starboard?

Starboard or port? All right, my cool throne. Is Trump? Okay, sticks sports, but he's a very good golfer.

Impressive. What do you shoot?

They did. It's breaking, it's a series Bryson does called Breaking 50, where him and one other person try and break 50 playing from the front, tees scramble. Yeah, every par four is drivable, even par fives are drivable for Bryson. Which did they do it? I think they shot minus 22, so I think 50 or maybe 49..

Or do they do scramble? or what scramble?

Damn, Trump had a. He plays a lot of golf, two solo birdies and a solo eagle on his own ball from the front tee. Yeah, but if you or I or PFT was playing with Bryson, it's doubtful that we would be-.

I would hope Trump's a better golfer than me because he golfs.

Yeah, but he's 79.

Are you saying he's old? yeah.

Wow, you didn't say that about Joe Biden a week ago. What happened on the first hole when we played against Brooks?

Right, we weren't playing with Brooks, though, if we were playing with Brooks.

We would have used his drive. No, no, I don't think so mine had a better lie, got it?

Better angle. Shit, he got you there, pft, I think. What'd he do with it? What did you do with it?

He made a birdie and made an eagle, yeah.

It was sick. Yeah, okay, pft. Your hot seat. Cool Toronto. That was a very good hot seat, Cool Toronto.

Thanks, that was good Hank, who was on the hot seat, though.

Whale haters the smaller boats.

Oh, the haters. Smaller boats everywhere.

The haters of which really billy football, wrote a blog saying An angry whale, and that got me angry, yeah.

Why was Billy going after the animal?

I think Billy was just he was casting his own assumptions onto the whale. It's a dangerous thing to do. My hot seat is-.

He tried to think it was capsizing it on purpose, which is something that killer whales do.

That's crazy, yeah, but a whale wouldn't do that. killer whales, but that's not a whale, is it?

Is it a fish? I don't know. no killer whales are orcas, are whales, again, I don't know.

They got the blowhole, right? Orcas are whales. Yeah, they got the blowhole, you sure about that? Hank? Yes.

What are some other very elementary boating questions to ask? Because I think we asked him the two most common ones, and he didn't know either one.

Why aren't they asking me what I'll do if I see a whale?

No, I was right about the right-of-way one. Not really. no, you weren't, and the Starboard one.

No, you weren't. What kind of knot do you use to tie up your boat? What do you mean? I think that's a pretty easy question, right? When you dock your boat, what kind of knot do you tie?

A regular? I don't know the name of the knot.

What is the golden rule of boating etiquette?

I don't fucking know boat others the way you'd want to be treated.

Yeah, you kind of did it do to others as you would have them do to you, which that's not boating, that's just a very common phrase.

Yeah, that's just life. Boaters just took that the boater's code.

That was a mean question by PFT. There are many knots that you can tie up a boat.

Yeah, okay, I didn't know, I didn't take a boating class.

You said that was a very easy question.

How old do you have to be to be mandatory, have to wear a life jacket the whole time?

Everyone has to wear a life jacket the whole time.

That's just not true.

13.

Yes, got it 13 is right.

That's sometimes a trick question.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fair.

Yeah, yeah. 13-year-olds are required to wear a life jacket at all times when the boat is underway.

What's faster, a mile per hour or a knot like a nautical mile per hour?

What's rule nine in boating?

If you're just floating away in the harbor, you don't have to use a flare gun.

No, this is the problem. You missed. Rule Nine. Rule Nine places the obligation on you, the small vessel operator, to avoid impeding the large vessels while operating a deep draft channel or fairway. That's the small boat rule, you got to remember Rule nine.

Yeah, I mean, the boats that I'm dealing with are like, I'm dealing with average size boats.

Okay, true or false, an F-35 Lightning II can land on an aircraft carrier. True, okay.

Okay, true or false, you should not shoot a flare off in the harbor. True, okay?

No, I mean, I've gone on the boat one time this whole summer, I'm probably not going to do it.

Again, because I've just never used it. What color are Coast Guard helicopters?

Red and white.

Aren't they orange?

I have no idea.

I feel like Coast Guard rocks are orange sometimes.

Hopefully, I'd never find out.

Yeah, good point, good point. As long as you stay out of the harbor, you don't need the coast guard.

My hot seat is Kevin Durant. Yeah, Kevin Durant, because has he played yet? I don't think that he's played in any of the tune-up games.

Yeah, he could be.

He's unhappy and he's looking to be traded.

He's mad at Nike.

Yeah, mad at Nike, unhappy and he'd like to be traded to France. Did you see Kevin Durant?

I feel like USA team, especially nowadays, it's just great controversy that happens. Did you see Drake? Did I see Drake shared a go team with everyone except LeBron? or did I make that up?

LeBron's the oldest guy on the team, so that makes sense.

No, because it was.

Love that.

So I just saw the beef. I was like, Oh, maybe that's real.

Yeah, Drake can't do anything this summer.

No, he has the worst summer by far.

You can't leave the house if you're drake.

Yeah.

Not because you have to notify your neighbors, but I think that maybe Steve Kerr just forgot that Kevin Durant's on the team.

Yeah, probably.

It's like, home alone, you get to France, Kevin.

KEvin Hank Is that crazy that you, like? We can say, with a matter of fact, that you had a far, far better summer than Drake?

It is crazy.

That's nuts, like it's not even up for debate. You dominated this summer compared to Drake.

It's not over yet either.

Congratulations, you got more winning to do.

My cool throne is true love. True love is on the cool throne because you guys remember our good friend, Pole Assassin, the Dancer from Texas, Yes, and her husband.

Yeah, that's beautiful.

Because for a while, it seemed like we didn't know what was going to happen. There's lawsuits, people get arrested, seem chaotic. Well, they settled down, they got married, true love.

That's beautiful.

I like having a good story every now and again.

That's beautiful, okay, my hot seats, I have two. Well, first one is Tariq Scouble, who is the presumptive Cy Young favorite for the Detroit Tigers. Is possibly going to get traded. And it's more a hot seat for me. Because I think we've told this story.

Okay.

So that's a problem.

Yep, that's a big problem.

If he gets traded to the Orioles, I'm good. if he gets traded to the Dodgers, I'm fucked.

You don't want him in the National League.

Yeah, I mean, there's players who have won Cy Young while getting traded. Sutcliffe did it, I did Cliff Lee do it.

Did Johan Santana or am I making that up?

I don't think so, maybe, though. So it can be done. But you'd have to be incredible. And you also probably have to get traded a little earlier, so I might be in trouble.

But I feel like the voters, at least recently, have become more tuned in. They don't take into account wins and losses nearly as much as they used to. But it's like ERA. So if you have one less start, that might not be the worst thing in the world.

You'd have to be insanely, insanely good. I'm looking it up right now, I'm pretty sure it was....

Yep, Cliff, Lee and Cece both did it.

What was Cece? Was it the same year? No.

08 back-to-back years.

08 and 09.

08 and 09, yeah.

Yeah, so Cece, I remember. So I'm looking at it right now.

Cliff Lee was a beast.

Cece was insane because, remember, he was pitching on three days rest down that stretch for the Brewers and he was 11-2 with a 1-6-5 ERA in 17 games. Started, that's pretty hard to do. What was Cliff Lee the year that he did it?

Gotta be Indians-Phillies, right?

Yeah, it was Indians-Phillies, but Cliff Lee was 7-4..

Wait, so wait, the voting is....

3-3-9 ERa was there no one else in that? Oh, no, did he win the Cy Young?

I don't think he won.

No, no, no, no, it was no. He won the Cy Young in 08. Yeah, so it was just Cece, I think.

So when you get traded to the other league, they only base their voting on what you did in your new league. They completely discard anything you did in the AL if you go to the NL.

Also, I made this up because Cece didn't.

Okay, this was bad information by this Reddit post that I guess we both looked at.

Yeah, I mean, I just googled it.

Yeah.

But do you know what I'm saying, big cat? Is that the rule?

Yeah, if you have.

Like, if you get traded at the deadline and you have a monster first two-thirds of the season or whatever, and let's say you're, I don't know. 10-1 with a 1.

No, I think.

Right, because he was so good for the Cubs. They throw out even if you're really good beforehand.

Yeah, I think so.

That probably rocked back in the day. If you got traded as a pitcher to the National League, yeah, it's like one free out.

Yeah, it's crazy.

I think he was seen today. Oh, he was, yeah, he was seen coming off the plane.

Oh, he's not dead. That's always good, all right, great. It's always good when you're talking about your president and you're like, don't worry, he's been seen.

We saw him, someone saw him great, okay.

What about Jimmy Carter?

That one.

That must have been the only place in the state of Wisconsin where you couldn't buy a beer.

It's crazy. I think they probably just did it because they're like, it's going to get too drunk. But yeah, it's good that finally they're serving beer. I think they were doing it in some of the VIP areas, but now everyone gets to drink beer.

I like that, yeah.

Okay, Huey, so I'm going to start with my cool throne. it'll lead into my hot throne. Oh, hot throne, okay.

We're flipping a reverser.

This has never been done. Cool seat, cool throne.

That would also lead into the other way around.

You could have done that, I guess you're right. They won't be playing basketball for four weeks. So imagine if, like the 1988 Dunk contest, it was incredible and then the N.B.A. just didn't happen for four weeks. All the momentum they've gained, just nothing's going to happen.

Damn, that's tough, yeah.

Caitlin Clark should just live stream herself playing basketball at the same time as Team USA.

Just shooting threes.

Yeah, just take all of the viewers, all right. Good job Huey, let's do some Mount Rushmore.

You finished in second to last place again.

I fucking blew it, hot streak, keep blowing it, I keep blowing it, so you're not...

Yeah, it's a long season, just gotta keep my head down, focus.

I just fucking blew it.

So Big Cat unfortunately keeps blowing it, which is really tough because he's not trying to blow it. But have you thought that maybe he's trying to blow it?

No, I don't think he would do that.

No, I would never do that. We also did you hear what they came up with Hank and Max came up with as a punishment for Mount Rushmore?

No, this is memes, this is memes.

Sorry, memes, I don't have to. We don't have to do it, but we put in the hat or we could make it the thing.

I don't think I did hear memes.

Okay, so here it is, and I do think that it's a perfect punishment.

Okay, I don't hate that.

It'd be very good stream.

The more you get to the end, the more pressure becomes, and then as soon as you lose, it's like, Oh my God.

You gotta start over.

And you can do any school.

Any school? We said we were going to all pick a school, a big school, and put it in a hat, and then you had to pick out of the hat. Okay, and we were going to say offense only because it would take so long if we did offense and defense.

I think if it's offense, only then you'll never win one with defense.

Yeah, yeah, and also offense only makes it. So we've done the math. It's about four and a half hours, five hours for one single season.

Okay, yeah, one thing.

I mean, I think it'd be pretty fun. yeah, I think it'd be pretty fun and it would definitely do big time numbers.

I gotta get a coaching staff like you and have 12 people giving me plays.

Well, that sounds like you're coming at me a little bit.

No, it's a great punishment for you.

What do you mean? I'm bad at the game and I played all American, you guys have more chance to play the game than I do.

Hank, aren't you on his coaching staff?

No, I got fired.

He got fired. He's laughing at me, Hank. You realize that you have so much more free time to get good at this game than I do.
