Our dicks Serbia, sucker dicks rest of the world. Yes, uh, so the end of Grit week, Grit week was great.
We have some, uh, the Rush, the Rushmore and Firefest are still in the RV. We got back, uh tonight, cause we have rough and rowdy tomorrow. Go go to buy R and R.com. It's going to be great. But we got back and we watched one of my favorite basketball games.
Like, that was a thrilling, thrilling basketball game. Serbia versus USA. Serbia gave us everything they had. Jokic played 38 out of 40 of the minutes. They were hitting weapon threes in the first half. But our guys, LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid and Devin Booker, the the the five guys who basically played the entire fourth quarter, they can ball.
Yeah, and it's awesome, it's awesome to be able to root for those guys like I. Now, I get it, I get it. I haven't had a lot to root for. As as a Wizards fan in recent memory, you as a Bulls fan. It kicks so much ass. Being able to root for LeBron James and being able to root for Steph Curry in that moment, being able to root for Joel Embiid.
I was rooting for Joel.
Embiid Today, Joel Embiid, I'll say, Um, he's more of a rollercoaster. Uh, he was incredible in the fourth quarter. Uh, I'm not. There's no Joel Embiid slander on this show today. But Max, I also had a little peek into why you are the way you are, because Joel Embiid was on fire.
He was, he was playing great, um, setting screens, hitting shots, and then he had like two or three possessions. Where he looked like he didn't know how to walk. And then he went back to being great. And I was like, this is why Max, Uh, is probably going to have the shortest lifespan of any of us.
In this room, he was just standing still at times and he would just like, forget to walk down court, but not slander. But then, but then he did. He would do something awesome. Like he got the ball out at the perimeter and he drove to the basket, probably got fouled a little bit on his arm, threw down an awesome dunk.
And then I've never seen a player do this before. But he somehow landed on his head after he let go of the rim. Yeah, I don't know he. It looked like he got tased on the way down, it was crazy.
And just I. I saw some people saying that maybe he was trying to minimize the impact on his knees, so he's just not landing on his feet anymore, he's.
Opposite of the cat, he just landed on his head. I've told you guys that not, not the head, not landing on the head. But he, he chooses to fall. Because it's less, it's less impact on your.
Knees if you, if you fall to the ground. Yes, well, he certainly did that, cause I think he landed on like his ear, but it was still cool.
It was funny to watch, but I was rooting for Joel Embiid. It was fun to root for your country. One of the greatest Americans of all time, awesome American American hero. He also was on the court at the end.
Last guy to leave the court. Just playing the the the heel versus the French fans, which I love, so that's the French are going to hate him. On Saturday is going to be electric. But yeah, that was. That was such a fun game and it was. It was fun too because of Serbia and how well they played and also how much shit they talked.
Bogdanovich doing the he was, he was talking shit to Mello, who Mello should be the coach in next Olympics. Mello literally called a play for Kevin Durant from the far sideline. Uh, he. He was like, clear out, clear out. It was when Kevin Durant had the sauce. I think that's what, uh, I think that's what. What's his name?
Noah Eagle Noah eagle used a kaboom as well. he used a kaboom, he said. He did.
The cross, the sauce, yes, the cross and the sauce, yes. So that's at communion, where you do, you do, uh, the stations, you touch your shoulders and you throw back the wine.
Yeah.
That was, but it was every guy, that was the best part. It was like Devin Booker hit that big three off the inbound. Steph Curry was insane 36 points.
Couldn't miss Jerome Bede had big moments, LeBron's two layups that were just so impossibly good. Uh, driving the lane, he had a triple double. Kevin Durant being like, get out of the way, everyone.
Yeah, Mello just called my number. I'm going to score this. It was just fun, I don't, I like that was that was a top basketball game.
I watched it was fun. And when they were kicking the ball around the perimeter, it would be like, Okay, Lebron, Lebron's got this. And then he'd pass it to Katie, who looked kind of open. And I'm like, fuck.
Yeah, I get to watch Katie make a basket for the United States, then Katie would pass it again and it's Steph Curry that's got the ball.
Yeah, I'm like, Oh shit, these are all awesome players to watch. Why have they not all been on the court at the?
Same time for the entire game. Yeah, well, and and so Steve Kerr, Um, I'm actually gonna give Steve Kerr credit because he, uh, through changing up the lineup, uh, so much. And then when the. When we cut it to like six points in the third quarter and he's like, let me just throw in the bad lineup again, um, and then they went the the lead balloon back to 13,.
Steve Kerr Sense of the dramatic. He gave us that that finish. If he had just kept with his best players the whole second half, we probably would have won by a double digits. Yeah, maybe, I don't know.
I thought going into this tournament, it seemed like he wanted to get some of the close games out of the way. And that's maybe why he was tinkering with the lineup, but I don't know why he just.
Continues to do it well. I think I think our guys are old, which that was also the cool part, like Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, LeBron Steph. I don't know how many MVPs they have between the four of them. Uh, a lot, but they're all older, uh, and so they probably need their rest. But there was, there was that one moment.
It was the end of the third quarter where we cut it close and then it went back to 13. And I think Bam was shooting a corner three and it was just like, What the fuck, what are we doing, guys? What are we doing? But credit Steve Kerr for making an interesting game.
And one of, uh, a highlight Olympic basketball game. Because that was more fun than us, just killing everyone. And Serbia was awesome, Jokic was awesome. All their guys hit threes in the first half and I just it. It felt like we all could come together.
Um, and we all had a part in this game. Yep, hank, like, when you, Yeah, okay, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I'm an American first and foremost before anything else, so I was happy for our country. Uh, I think Steve Kerr is a fucking idiot. I thought you were a Californian first.
I'm an American, first, California is part of America. Didn't know if you knew that. Um, they don't want to be even his own player. Dream on.
Green was chirping them on Twitter, saying, You know, you got to mess with the lineups, they're clearly not working. In the first half. You have Jason Tatum, one of the best players in the NBA, didn't play at all.
He didn't play.
All DNP. I actually do think Tatum should have played and that made no sense. There was the first half when we were going under these screens and not switching and it was like, do not get him rebounds.
Just put Tatum out there, he could switch on everything, yeah.
Crash the board score. It was weird, uh, but at the end of the day, I'm, I'm, I'm. It was fun to root as an American for, you know, for the boys, it was it is. It would have been an all-time choke if they didn't even metal, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it would have been really bad. And this is what I love about the Olympics, is what I love about the World Cup, this is what I love about just all international competitions. You get to just be like, Fuck the world.
We're America, suck my dick, we're the bullies, we're going to beat the shit out of you. And you get to root for your country and you get to feel good about it. After the game, Kevin Durant They asked him what it's like representing America.
And he said, There's a lot of bullshit that happens in our country, but there's a lot of good stuff. I loved that quote. Slim Reaper Yep, that's, he said it, yeah.
That should be, that should be a presidential slogan. Yeah, there's a lot of bullshit.
But there's a lot of good stuff, too. Um, so that's a very positive way to handle it, Hank.
It's also like, Jason, Jason, uh, Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown. They're going to have all the motivation in the world. That is a good thing for the, you know, I'm, I'm rooting for America. But after this is over, the Celtics like they're going to be set up for a repeat.
You're, you're in the spot now where you would actually prefer Jason Tatum not to play in the gold medal game because you want full on revenge. Jason Tatum. To be like, you played a bunch of old guys and it's my league kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um, I, I do want to give us some.
Credit too, yeah, as Americans for for this victory, because we did something that we sacrificed for this too. We actually rooted for LeBron James today, yeah.
Like, with our whole hearts, I was. I was so happy watching LeBron. We was driving to the hole, He was incredible, He was awesome, there was. There was no snark in the back of my head watching him.
I wasn't thinking about how. Maybe he looks a little bit older in France, I bet, maybe. I don't know how time zones work, he's like five and a half hours older than normal.
Yeah, I was, I did maybe say that his.
Legacy was on the line. At halftime. You were motivating him. Yeah, right, that was tough. We also found out that the key for Embiid to play against Jokic is.
He just needs LeBron to cover Jokic. Yes, he needs. he needs LeBron to put a big body on him. He was doing everything.
LEBRON Yeah, what about Jokic guarding Embiid? what about it?
Eight of 11, and Jokic was guarding. Embiid. Yeah, no, we just played 38 minutes. We just said that Embiid played an awesome game, yeah.
We're not listen, we're being positive. Embiid was great today, everybody on the team contributed today, almost everybody on the team contributed today.
Yes, um. Drew Holliday, Devin Booker, Devin, Derek White and Bam all played a total of 61 minutes nine points, three rebounds. That was the that was the death lineup.
The reverse death lineup, yeah, but everyone contributed, everybody, everybody in this room, everybody in that room, we all came together. Listen, rooting for. You have to make sacrifices for your country sometimes.
And I can't think of a bigger sacrifice that we would make than openly rooting and admiring LeBron James. I'd agree with you so, and I don't regret it.
And I'll do it again against France. Credit to us for being the bigger men here. Um, so yeah, it was. It was an awesome game, it was a lot of fun to watch. Olympics are great.
We also had so no Lyles won the 100.
We talked about that on Monday, I want to say.
Or maybe it was Wednesday, I don't know what time it is. It was a. It is one by 0.005 seconds, Yes.
Um, but he lost in the 200, and then he did the savviest thing ever, he got into a wheelchair.
Cause he had Covid, Covid wheelchair. Well, he's got asthma too, yeah, so the old Covid asthma.
Now, um, incredible, the 100 meter race was awesome. Um, I did see a clip of him before the race today. He was just like using all his energy, whooping up the crowd and going crazy. With Covid, that's, that's no. But again, wheelchair, that kind of negates it all.
It does negate it all.
There was also an awesome, awesome moment where a French lady won a race, I think it was the 1500. And then she ran over to the stands, and then she proposed to her boyfriend in the stands. She brought him down to the front row, yes, got on a knee and proposed to him.
Uh, didn't that? That happened in the Boise State game right at the end of that Bowl game and people got mad at the football player. Because they were like, Why are you, why are you making the proposal like?
You know, at your biggest moment, yeah, I think you're allowed to do that. Yeah, you're allowed to do that.
Love is love. There was another time, uh, earlier in the Olympics, where I believe it was. A Chinese ping pong player came off and her boyfriend proposed to her after she won the gold.
That's fucked up, that is fucked up, you can't, you can't steal her moment. Basically, it was just.
Stole the whole moment, so everyone's like, Oh, you got engaged, oh yeah, and also I guess you.
Want to go metal? Yeah, if you're that guy, you have to. Was he pressured into saying yes in that moment, cause you can't run away, you have to say yes.
She'll catch you, she's fast as fuck, yeah.
I also watched a steeplechase today that was awesome. Is it called steeplechase? Yeah, some dude ate shit.
Yeah, he ate shit. And then that one, maybe it was a steeplechase, might've been another race, there was actually a finish. The second place guy finished a 0.003 seconds ahead of the third place guy.
Yep, I don't know how they do this technology, I don't know either.
So what do we have left? do we have? Uh, we got more track and field. Marathon, marathon, marathon always ends it.
I think, right, it doesn't know. I think I thought break dancing was last this.
Year is it? I thought the marathon always like, they run into the stadium on that Sunday morning, that's it might be one of the last ones, yeah.
We were up right now 30 to 29 on China, the total metal count over. We've won that easily, but we got to win the gold, we've got to win the.
Gold? And if you look at that like per capita, we're absolutely dominating China. Yeah, they've got like 2 billion people over there. is it 2 billion now?
No, I just, I just knew it was more than a billion. Once you get over a billion, it's it's 2 billion. Yeah, you lose track, you lose track of it.
They've got enough, I'll put it that way. There's an okay China, we get it, I think.
Marathon is the last woman's marathon. Yeah, they do it, they go into the stadium, it's very cool. Um, okay.
Other things Pedro Grafal got fired, White Sox manager. So I don't know why they should.
Give him a little more time. So yeah, we. He hasn't implemented his system yet, We're going to see what he can do. Uh, I would not coach the White Sox if you Grady Sizemore is coaching.
Yeah, Grady Sizemore is going to step in as on an interim basis for him, not not full-time yet. But if you offered me $3 million a year to coach the Chicago White Sox, I would say no to to manage that team. Think about how shitty, 10 million a year, 10 million a year.
No, no, I wouldn't, because I remember when it was a three-year contract, three-year contract guaranteed, so 30 million total. Yeah, I mean, Pedro Grafal didn't get fired for a very long.
Time do I get unlimited milkshakes that they have at at the White Sox Field? Yes, okay, yes.
Then?
I'm in so funny that they fired him now, like, what, what's even the they've? What's the point?
I think it's like, you did they lose two out of three to the A's and then that that did it.
They're like, Okay, well, they. But they also broke their 21 game losing streak. They did, yeah, uh.
I would not know, I would not want to manage them. Imagine what a shitty job that would be. No, it sucks, it's just miserable.
Everyone's upset all the time, it's hot, you have to go to that shitty stadium with nobody in it, but you also would have no pressure.
Well, you might get fired if you lose to the A's No. But again, Pedro Grafal didn't get fired for a very long, very long time. He had a the longest leash. I think the I think there's. I saw some stat where it was maybe over a hundred games or 150 games. He was the third worst manager of all time.
Base They've been playing baseball really long, really long time. oh, really long time.
Kind of unfair to put that on him for his managing job. Was that really? How much of that was him versus how much was the team? Just the overall vibe of the organization?
Yeah, yeah, and again, I think I mentioned it earlier this week. The worst is the guy, the doctor, when everyone went to war, dentist.
Yeah, who, who, who who managed, I think the Phillies, Yeah, that's pretty bad, bad company.
Um, okay, uh, anything else? I mean, grit week.
Was great. We've got, uh, uh. One of our guests from Grit Week was in the news the other day.
Oh, Jim Harbaugh, Yes, you told me you saved this for me. Yes, yes.
I asked what a show cause was, and you said, I, I found out a couple of years ago, but I forgot. But I'm going to find.
Out again? Yeah, I just need to jog the memory, okay, and I was so.
I was 75 correct with what I thought that it was, so Harbaugh just got a show cause penalty from the NCAA. They found a bunch of like, I don't know, I don't know, the level one, level two, level two, A infractions. Okay, nobody knows what any of this bullshit means.
It was just like, Okay, you did some stuff, you wouldn't cooperate, so we're going to hammer you on stuff. This is because it's.
Very confusing. This is from. This is not stallions. Uh, yeah, I believe there was some stallions involved in this, but this is, I I think. This was the co, the co, the cheeseburger.
The Covid recruiting, so this is a four year show cause for recruiting violations. Yeah, so this is.
This isn't even stallions yet, cause the NCAA moves so slow. So, uh, what they did was they.
Tried to interview him and he was like, I'm just not going to talk to you, and then they tried to. Which, legally speaking, is the right thing? Yeah, he watched too many of those Shut the fuck up Friday commercials on YouTube, and he's like, Yeah, I don't have to say shit to you.
I'm going to plead the fifth, there's no Fifth Amendment. College football because the N.C.A.A considered themselves to be like, bigger than the Constitution. Yep, so, uh, he did not cooperate.
Nobody cooperated with the NCAA at Michigan. Some people did, some people lied. Harbaugh got punished for all of it. Harbaugh is getting a four year show cause, which means so he's not in college football anymore, right?
But if another team were to hire him in the next four years, they would have to go in front of the NCAA and explain why that school shouldn't get punished more for hiring Harbaugh, on top of all the other stuff that he would bring to the table.
I mean, he's going to just stay in, he's never gonna go back to college. Probably not. That was his dream job, yeah.
The question is, this sounds like, Oh, I know right now. If you, if you listen really closely, if you listen to the wind, go outside right now. Or if you're in the car, roll down your your windows and just pause the show and listen to the wind and that sound you hear. Is Mike Florio typing away on how Roger Goodell should actually punish Jim Harbaugh? Because the NFL should not be a safe harbor for someone who does something illegal in the NCAA.
Oh, Florio has already done that. Okay, there it is. I hope you did that four days ago when you were driving to work, yeah.
That was Florio, that was your. This is going to be his favorite story.
For at least a week, I know, because I remember when he did it with Jim Trestle. Yeah, um, well.
We're going to love this. What he did and that that was the earthquake we felt on Tuesday night. When we were recording, was Florio just banging away at the space bar on his computer? Uh, he took the he took the line of reasoning of when Trestle did that at Ohio State. And he got fired basically for letting his players get tattoos in exchange for merchandise. Which sounds, it sounds everything that was illegal 10 years ago sounds so stupid now, and also kind of awesome and awesome.
Yeah, it's good things. things that were crimes 10 years ago are just awesome now, yeah.
Game cleats for a tattoo. Cool, awesome, very cool, very normal, actually.
So, uh, Trestle, the NFL told him that they reserved the right to punish him if he were to get a job at the NFL for stuff he did in college. Florio is now saying, Well, remember what you did to Trestle. I wonder if the NFL is going to take that precedent that they've already set, or if they're just going to completely ignore it. For Harbaugh, so something that nobody was thinking about yet.
Florio raised his hand, right, Florio did the thing where he was like, you didn't collect her homework yet, yeah?
When the teacher wasn't going to do it, so Goodell is not doing anything. And Florio was like, Hey, remember Trestle, are you going to do that with Harbaugh, or are you not going to do that with?
Harbaugh This story, Yeah, this was made for Mike Florio. He basically got a gift from heaven and he's just, this is this is an entire the rest of his summer.
Is this? It makes no sense.
Though, to punish somebody at a new job for something they did at their old job, well.
Tell that to Mike Florio, it doesn't make any sense, He doesn't like that, he doesn't like that. You got to do, you got to keep them, keep the, keep the, keep the torch. Right to Jim Harbaugh.
Don't let him run to the NFL. Uh, I yeah, I mean, we like Jim Harbaugh, so we're biased.
Which is very, very biased. We very much admit there were a bunch of training camp fights, too nice, a lot of training camp fights. D.K. Metcalf took his helmet off, swung it at a guy.
Love that, Yeah, I think the Guardian scrum caps are actually doing more harm than good. Yeah, I think they're, they're players, are ripping them off and they're like, Oh, it's not that hard of a helmet.
I can swing it at a guy's head now. It's like a pillow fight. It's like a pillow fight. It's encouraging bad behavior.
Hank, It's like a, yeah, like a nerf fight. It's basically a nerf gun. It's like, Oh, I can shoot you in the head with this, it won't hurt, it's just a.
Suction cup hank Uh, what's going on in this Patriots game? Did Drake May play? Yeah, two for three.
Okay, 19 yards, couple drives, that is, I mean, in terms of preseason games, that's pretty.
Much a perfect game you also had. I've never had to pay attention before either. This is a.
This is a new thing. We had a of, oh, quite a glimpse into, uh, the battered brain of memes, which memes and I talked the other night about. We just have to stick together more because our franchises are like a joke that everyone just kicks our ass about, but memes? I was asking him to do something and he was like, I want to watch the first Patriots drive. I was like, why? He's like, I want to see if they're going to suck or not.
It was Jacoby Brissett in the rain against the Carolina Panthers preseason game one. Yeah, and he was going to make his judgment on this.
Entire Patriots season. But you never know, never miss an opportunity to see your your biggest.
Opponent just thinking it up. I think it was also like a haunting thing that he was saying. Because he, he, I think he thinks and knows that they're not going to be a good football team. But he just sees the jersey and he's like, I can't actually believe it, I have to see it with my own eyes. Is that fair to say? Memes?
That is correct, I completely understand where you're coming from.
Yeah, there's some weird shit going on with the new, the new, uh, NFL graphics to the landing zone of the kickoff is wild. Is it the blue area? Yeah, they wrap it in blue.
What happened to Green? So the green zone that, remember, that still exists. When it's like, that's how far you have to get, where's the green zone? uh, the green zone? It's like, Uh, I don't remember what the. It's a bunch of yards that you have to get for field goal range.
Maybe no. What was the green?
No, I think the green zones first down, like from no, that's the yellow line, No, no, but like the in between was a green zone, No.
Yeah, but that made it. We've been out of practice. We're going to do our new new faces, uh, new places, or same faces, new places on Monday to get ourselves a little sharper. The Green Zone NFL broadcast. I feel like they didn't even do it, too.
Green Zone.
Might be to get to the field goal line. It was bad cause they stopped the area of the field.
From the offense's own 15 yard line to the opponent's 20 yard, what?
I, I, NBC did it, and then they took it away, did they not? I thought they kept it, oh, cause it would made no sense.
We'll figure it out. All right, all right, I got it. It's preseason for podcasters to hold on.
Hold on, hold on, say, sit, talk amongst yourselves for a second hank and pft hank.
What was your favorite moment of the week? I like surfing, surfing was fun. Videos out now, uh, it felt more fun than it looks on camera, but yeah, it looks, it looks very lame.
It looks like we've got our dad behind us, pushing us on a tricycle. But it was fun. Yeah, it was fun, it was really good time. Do you feel like you just got out? What's up?
Memes is right.
Shout out memes. It's when the Sky Cam and they do the green zone. So it gives you better depth perception on how far you have to go to the first down. So it just goes to the yellow line, yeah.
Okay, and it actually was going to be the gray zone, yeah.
I don't like that, feel good about that, feel really good about it. Um, all right, last thing.
Uh, so tonight is rough and rowdy. West Virginia. Please buy it by R and R.com. Uh, I'll be singing the national anthem. We have 25 fights.
I believe it's going to be a great night. So, uh, we had to get back from grit week, but we still have a lot of grit week content coming out. So we did, uh, we have two, three more interviews coming out. A big one on Monday, big big one on Monday, uh, a couple of videos, some vlogs. It was a great grit week.
You guys all have fun, I had a great time, I had a blast. Yeah, I always get off Grit week and you'll hear cause.
We were taping fire festival, we're still on the bus and I was talking about feeling old. But the minute we get back from Grit Week, I'm just like, I miss the boys. I have that moment where it's like, the it's almost a feeling of like the end.
Of a bachelor party, you know? Yeah, by the way, Phyllis, What happened on Grit Week? We don't. We're not going to talk about everything, right, yeah.
Some things are just kept amongst us.
That lunch we ate where we all just had explosive diarrhea right after it was just one after, that was one of the craziest. Going to the bathroom, he was like, I got to go to the bathroom. I was like, Oh man. And then when we got to the Rams facility, I was like, I got to go to the bathroom.
I went for like a half hour, I went three times while we were.
Still sitting at the restaurant? Yeah, my butt hasn't recovered yet. It was crazy. I got one of those neck pillows that you put around your neck on a plane.
I just sat on it for the entire.
Flight back Yeah, so great grit week. Thank you everyone who saw us, who came out. Uh, we love doing grit week.
We're already thinking about next year, we've already talked about, maybe.
A couple NFC East places maybe, Yeah, possibly we heard you loud and clear.
If you don't think that California was gritty enough, we're thinking about the French Riviera for next grit week, yeah.
I do think the the people we interviewed was very gritty and also the surfing video, I mean, go watch it right now. That was getting us into wetsuits and trying to tame the Pacific Ocean.
Max looked like Joe Burrow, walking around with just no back at all in his wetsuit.
Yeah, zipper was broken. it was broken. Before I got it. Max just screamed. He was just like, just so everyone knows, the zipper was already broken.
Okay, well, now we're going to talk about this. Uh, we did the random number generator, generator in the bus, let's just do the real.
Numbers, right? we'll do the real one now that we're back. Yeah, the real one. no numbers.
Uh, numbers, Max, have you ever gotten the lottery ball? I've gotten the number.
17 11 11.
You said 11, Yeah, well, I thought for some reason, I thought Hank was going to say 56.
Eight.
11 was a good number 42. 99 pugs on her. Yeah, what does Shane say? 21.
33.
Great Larry Bird Jersey 33. So many threes. Love you guys.

This is going to get contentious, this is going to get contentious, we should say before.
It's already contentious. Right now, it'd be cut and dry. We should, we should do a quick update.
Uh, Hank has won Wednesday's Mount Rushmore. Congratulations to Hank. thank you, thank you. He is now four points up on PFT.
Shout out to all the pregnant women. Um, I am s, by the way, that one got me in trouble. I might've gotten a text being like, you pick navy seals over pregnant women, and I was like, I was just trying to get Hank a win pregnant women.
Yeah, so uh, thanks for that, Hank, uh. But I had the chance. I I did. I had one one, but I was trying to get you a win.
That's what we're going with. Sure. Yeah, uh, hank, congratulations on the wind. You were up four points on PFT.
Yup, who's in last? I am up six points on Hank, Max is running away with it, so it's max 50 points.
M.E. 42 points, Hank 36,.
Pft 32.
It's not looking great for your boy right now, but that's fine. There's. There's a lot of season left in Mount Rushmore season, a lot of time for Hank to collapse. He's feeling himself right now, which I like.
No, I read Hank's acting like he's in first place, which I I absolutely love. Yeah, now you're going to get confident. I'm a sneak up on you, like a little monster in the car, I grab you by the ankles.
I'm going to drag you down into the ocean, I'm going to hold you under until you die. Let's go and then and then, this is, this is what's going to happen. Hank, you're going to have, you're going to have to take a punishment out of the hat.
It's not me versus you. Then you're going to complain about it and you're going to say, it's unfair that I'm predicting the future right now. I want to see.
You do the punishment. I don't want to see PFT, because PFT is, uh, my dear friend and co-host of the show. And the punishment's going to happen during football season. And we work a lot during football season while you sit on the couch and scroll Twitter. So I would, it's not going to get contentious.
I would like PFT not to have to devote whatever, however many hours the stream.
Is going to take, uh, and I want to see you do it. What I noticed your Twitter screen time is.
Probably 20,000 times, but I say, What'd I say? what'd I say, what?
During the show, Right? Yeah, it's not that high anymore, yeah.
You said, you sit on the couch, the couch, that we do the show.
With the proverbial couch, Oh, I mean, I know you said, I said on the show, you never said on the.
ShoW Okay, all right. So the couch? I was thinking about, the couch, the couch that you sit on during.
The show? I have multiple couches up, so I'm sitting on a couch right now. We got J.D. Hank over.
There, yeah, you want to fuck a couch? you got a couch fucking problem, you say, couch.
I don't.
Instantly think of the studio. All I think about is that couch. What I noticed in the scanning, however, is that I think what happens more often than not is I either strike out completely or I hit a home run. I'm either first or fourth, that's it.
You're Adam done. I'm actually actually sabermetrically a very good baseball player in today's game. Yes, okay, so let's not.
Get contentious. No, it's we're, we're on the bus. It's grit week. We've had a great grit week.
It's been fun, great week. I think that, you know, the coaches have taught me it's like, I do love every question. What does grit mean to you?
And it's like, it's, it's about. It's not about how you act when you're down, it's about how you act when you're up and just staying focused. And that's what you're acting, you're acting. Real sharp, real sharp and a little fresh. That's a compliment, but I'm not going to take it as a compliment.
I'd like to put a bar.
Of soap in your mouth. Okay, my restaurant was yellow backwards hat Colin Coward would hate.
That, yeah, but this heartbreak Motel had on for.
Ladies, you've been warned? Um, wait, who's got first pick? I think I do, oh wow, yes.
Hank Max me big cat, we'll never, we'll never love it. Like, just dive in. I was ready. I get surprised every time.
Yeah, wait, the the the order comes. Pretty worried that Hank's going to take my one.
Oh, no, there is. Is there a one one? I have a. I have a. I have a one one.
That's it. Sponge, ball, square. That's a reach, that's a reach. I had a different one.
One. And then I was relooking at the board and I said, You know what fuck it, let's take a shot. Like the the other one, one was kind of obvious and like, it doesn't really pop.
So I went with Spongebob and I was an audible and I feel good if the guy that's in first place wait.
Were you going to take that if I didn't say, I think you're going to, but I, I had a different.
One one up until, like, 20 minutes ago when I was really nice, okay, that's a really good one, one. I was really bent.
I almost didn't take it, but I you were the one I knew was going to take it. Like, I was going to maybe try and get it back around, but right now I was definitely taking that, that was that was easy first pick for me, okay?
Um, I will go with, Uh, lemonade is my one.
Well, I am very. I'm very happy that this felt to me. I'm going to go beer. Yeah, beer is the one.
Yellow Yeah, look it up, google it, beer is yellow.
I'm being, I have to be around, I have.
To be fully transparent here, I had beer, so I'm going to defend PFT, beer is yellow, okay, so that's where, that's where we're going.
That's where we're going with yellow, it's not yellow, draft beer is yellow. Oh, memes, look at memes.
His face, Oh, that is not yellow, oh.
I'm looking it up. If if you google, yeah, if you google is beer yellow. beers are often yellow.
Good pick I think you need to pick like a specific type of beer, yellow beer.
All beer that's yellow, coors light, Yeah, coors light's yellow.
No.
Golden and golden is yellow. Yeah, I mean, I had it, so I'm going to defend you. Yeah, I mean.
I think you guys are the golden, all right, you know what? you guys are reaching beer.
It's yellow, Coors light says. Golden beer, Golden's yellow, I think, I think.
GOLDEN COLORADo Oh, thanks for making my point. That's not, I don't, I don't think that's for the.
Color No Loggers ales. Those are both yellow. Honestly, honestly, you need this one.
No, I don't need your pity on this. It's yellow. Do you or do you not need this? It stands on its own merit, fact or fiction?
No, I don't need it. I was about to pour it on the ground, I don't need it, he was.
About to pour coors light out on the ground that's yellow. I just need Hank to be worse.
That's all okay, I'm not even thinking about it. I have two picks.
Yep, run free up there.
All right, I'm going to go.
Cheese good, pick cheese any specific type, I mean, all yellow, cheese, orange.
I like cheddar, but that's orange. I had. I had cheese on my eye. Well, I thought I had cheese. I looked it up, and it was like, most cheese is orange, bright orange. Look up.
He just made a fucking noise. She's yellow, bright, orange. That's what I looked, That's what I saw. Not all cheese is yellow, but a lot of cheese is.
Okay, that's what I'm saying. You have to pick a yellow cheese, like there are, like, you have to pick a cheese I'll give you cheddar cheese.
Like PFT should be.
Coors light Yeah, okay, fine, cheddar.
There's beers that are brown, I'm not taking those cheese that is white, but there's a lot of beer. There's a lot of beer that's not.
Yeah, and.
There's a lot of, uh, lemonade. what kind? Oh, that's a good question, lemonade. there's pink lemonade.
Yeah, you have to say yellow lemonade, then no, no.
There's no, there's like, white lemonade false. it looks white lemonade is yellow.
I want to go down this path. I've seen a lot of very pale lemonades. Yeah, no, this is good thing we're not getting contentious.
No, you guys know what you're doing. Me and Hank are playing this game the right way. You guys are muddying the wall. Cheese is yellow, cheddar cheese is yellow.
So is America. Why can't I get all cheese? There's white lemonade, but like lemonade, not all beer.
Generic lemonade not.
Every spongebob I did get all beer, I want him to get all beer, either, he should get all beer, I got it.
He should get light beer, I got it Coors light, you should have taken beer before.
Lemonade weirdo, yeah, but that's not fucking yellow. beer is not yellow, it's tan, beer is tan.
All right, well, this one might get it, this one might then spiral you more. My second pick.
French Fries.
Beige, they're golden, McDonald's French fries are yellow.
McDonald's French fries are yellow, we're just picking any color now.
I will say this, if you were given like, a, that's yellow, can I speak? That's yellow? It's a fucking fake picture.
If you were, it's not. That's not a real, that's a cartoon, basically. Oh my god.
If you were to give a little kid an outline of a French fries and told them to color it, they would get the yellow crayon to color it.
Yellow If there is a color, French fries are yellow. Hank. If you were to ask a kid to color in beer, what color would they choose? Yellow? Probably yellow, but if they chose brown, you also wouldn't blink.
I would think beer is a lot, I would think beer is a lot, buddy.
Let me just say this, let me just say this.
Cheese would be orange. No, it wouldn't, I said, Would, no, no.
You guys, let me just say something. Great point Henry. What color are cheez-its? I didn't pick cheez-its.
I know, but the better I made at it, no, but hank, that's c-h-e-e-z.
Yeah, exactly 100 real cheese. He thinks that someone here is upset that they took lemonade in the first round. Yeah, lemonade is fucking yellow. I'm taking yellow things for a yellow draft.
French fries are yellow.
No, you guys need this, you guys need this, let's keep going. No, no, no, let's keep going.
You guys need this now. I understand why Max was going to get contentious. He's colorblind, You guys don't know colors.
You guys don't know Low, you said that memes was going to be the decider memes. French fries are yellow.
Go through all of their picks and Spongebob, I want them to get one pick that's actually yellow.
Memes would have given it a six come on memes.
Well, I think French fries are yellow. Yes, thank you.
Cheese, cheese.
Fine, you know what? I won't take cheese, take cheese off the board, that's fine.
My first pick? No, no, no, my first pick will be the Simpsons. There we go. I have French fries and the simpsons.
I thought about the Simpsons, but I don't, I don't. I never watched it. Thank you Huey, he just mumbled. Great pick. it's a good pick. Cheese is still on the board.
I'm not gonna lie, there is a....
I just want, on the record, that Max made me take a pick off. No, I didn't. I said I wanted all I wanted you to take was a specific type of cheese. Check the tapes. I just wanted a specific type of cheese.
Simpsons French Fries.
You know who would be on our side, big cat who?
Bubba Yeah, I was just about to say.
Yeah, he's colorblind. No, um, okay, I can see this getting contentious. This should be an easy one, we should all agree.
Gold good pick, good pick.
Isn't it gold? Honestly, I'm gold medals? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't gold a color?
Gold, gold is yellow.
Gold is a shade of yellow.
Gold is a shade of yellow.
But gold is gold. If you were to give a kid I wanted, I listen, I had you back on beer. It's it's literally gold is a color.
Is gold yellow? I'm gonna, I'm gonna search. this is gray and silver, the same thing. We're not doing, the....
I mean, maybe I'm way off, but isn't gold a color?
Pure gold is a rich yellow-orange color.
Orange was the first word there. I just assumed gold was gold. okay, if we did a gold draft, gold would go first.
Uh, gold would be the metallic variation of the color yellow.
Okay.
According to Reddit, that's always right.
My draft is just gonna be yellow things. Well, lemonade again. I can find you a lemonade right now. that's not yellow. you guys can play your game. I can find you a lemonade right now.
That's not yellow, big boy.
I'm gonna go with the first down line.
Any, any, any qualms there? Well, it's not official. Well, yeah, it's not official, and it's only on the TV, it's not on the field.
All right, fine, next next time you watch TV, you don't get to watch the look at the yellow line. Oh yeah.
See how you like watching football then, buddy. Okay, next time we watch, uh, football, you can't eat any cheese, buddy. I like cheese and I wanted to take it. But I looked it up and the first color, it said was orange.
You had to look up what the color of cheese was. Yes, because I didn't I for this reason, because if I picked it, you know, if I picked it, I would've got fucking roasted. That's not true at all because I had. I was very honest when PFT picked beer.
I said, I have beer on my list. Yeah, well, PFT's in fucking the basement right now. Yeah, well, guess what?
Guess what, buddy, sometimes you gotta be in last place and you gotta have grit and you gotta build your way out of it. No, yeah, it's okay.
Okay, Hank, you have two picks.
I'm going to go with.
Good thing this isn't contentious.
Yellow parentheses coldplay the song, the song, the song yellow. I'm going to allow that.
Yeah, it's a yellow thing.
Sure, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to allow it, yeah, because I'm very easygoing when it comes to this. Well, I don't, I mean, yeah.
And I will go with.
Can you give us a bar of that song?
And it was all yellow.
I like, I like British hank, yeah.
I will go with Pepper Jack cheese. Mmm, wait.
White pepper, Jack's white.
Pepper Jack is white dude, what are you talking about?
All right, all right hank you pick.
It's also white and red and green.
I would allow Hank to take that for this round.
You don't know what Pepper Jack cheese is. No, no, no time out. you don't know what Pepper Jack cheese is. We're on the same side here, it's not white, red and green.
It's yellow-ish, it's got a yellow hue.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Pepper Jack's white, it's got the specks of peppers in there.
It's pepper Jack cheese is not, it's white. look at this is Pepper Jack cheese that's yellow-ish. that's not. you picked a white cheese that's all white.
You picked a white cheese.
If that's not yellow, then no cheeses should have been allowed. Oh, there's lots of cheeses that are yellow.
That cheese is hank. you had many cheeses, you basically could have picked burrata hank. I was really, I wanted you to be on my side.
Yeah, I know. So was Pepper Jack. Hey, Pepper Jack is way more yellow than burrata.
They're both white.
No.
There's like peppers in it, it also has two other colors in it, so it might be like a yellow pepper.
French fries are yellow and brown.
Oh, now you're going back on French Fries.
I mean, I'm just saying, like, what I know is pure, straight up, fucking unfiltered yellow.
Well, there are a lot of cheeses that are yellow. Pepper Jack is not. if you like, maybe yellow cheese. no one's like pepper jack.
It's yellow-ish.
Cheddar, I said, cheddar.
All right, then I'm just going to go fucking balls to the wall.
Cheese is not getting picked.
If Pepper Jack's not yellow, no cheese is allowed.
I think we should let Hank take Pepper Jack. No, I'm taking Pikachu.
Oh, okay, it was on my list. I was being honest, I'm not a pokemon.
Never seen Pokemon, Pepper Jack would have slapped.
Never been around a Pokemon.
I'm going to go with buttered popcorn.
Had it on my list, good pick, white, good pick.
Buttered popcorn is yellow? Yes, it's yellow you're thinking of, like, smart food. Like, if you gave a kid a crayon and told him, Here's some Pepper jack cheese, okay, I'm going to step in.
They're not going to just leave it white. I'm going to step in, I'm going to go with the sun, the fucking sun, the fucking sun.
Which also could have been on the my little restaurant of tough things.
Yep.
Okay, any one complain? No. I almost picked a 1-1..
Yeah, I like it, I like it, okay.
It's a good third round, it's a good third round, it's good value. I would have taken it, I probably should have taken it.
It's a coach's son.
Okay, I got my last two.
I need the anime freaks.
I need them to step up.
That is the thing about the people that follow. The part of my take account. It's a huge crossover with the anime freaks.
Yep, all right, I'll go. I have two picks, one I'm probably going to get yelled at for, but this one everyone should agree with.
No, this whole draft is pointless, anyway. What, I'm not yelling anymore.
No, I would like you to yell if you don't like it, this one you like, though. Yellow labrador retriever.
Yep, yellow labs great.
Yellow labs are a great choice.
Yeah, there is yellow labs. What? I just admitted that I would like it.
No, what did I say?
Dogs? I didn't know that there's a difference between yellow and gold.
There's a big difference. What did I say, what did I pick?
Yellow.
Yellow What labrador retrievers? And what did you say?
Right, I didn't know that there was a difference there is.
Very much got it.
Like, you would know, the dog in Yellow lab.
The dog in yellow lab and a golden retriever, two different dogs.
Marley and me, you know, they're the same dog.
Yeah, now the Pepperjack thing makes sense. Yeah, yeah, I'm colorblind. Okay, last one.
Oh man, max.
Take it, I'm not going to get mad, I promise.
Pasta.
No, I'm actually, I'm all right with that. There are yellow pastas.
Yes.
Fresh pastas.
Fresh pasta The freshest pasta is always yellow, with a homemade pasta delicious yellow.
Okay with it, Good pick, Yeah, Hank Carbo.
Hank's still in a.
Like, he just found out that golden retrievers and yellow labs are different dogs. No, that's a he's trying to....
He's trying.
He's spying me his whole. I thought, for sure, you would have taken pasta.
You know what? He's had two picks that have been presented to Hank today that Hank could have taken in. The things that I just learned recently drafted Yeah, yeah.
Yellow Labs and Golden Retrievers, and Pepperjack Cheese Max Pepperjack Cheese.
I know there's not a single person on the planet that's going to have your back.
Absolutely not, Max. I was convinced you'd take pasta. you took lemonade over pasta. What kind of Italian are you?
Lemonade is obvious. I was thinking, more classically yellow, like, I mean, pasta's yellow.
I know, but I was thinking, like.
I'll be honest, I didn't have lemonade on my board.
I didn't even have.
I didn't even think about lemonade, lemonade, and you went 1-1. Well, I was thinking of things that are....
You don't understand what 1-1 is. This might be the end.
First of all, you don't understand what 1-1 is.
This might be the end.
You don't understand what 1-1 is.
You're 1-1.
This is 1-2, you're 1-1, my 1-1 was spongebob.
Yeah, his 1-1 was spongebob. You still had a first-round grade on lemonade.
Let's get back to the fact that.
Lemonade All right, fine, you know what, Max?
Let's go out and find someone who doesn't like lemonade. We're not going to yell anymore, Max. Let's agree to just remind everyone that Hank thinks pepper jack cheese is yellow.
Yeah, that's a good point, it's yellow-ish.
Where did Huey just go?
Oh, nice, good job.
Good job, Huey.
Wait, you're up, all right, my turn. Last pick. I'm going to go with the pass interference icon that pops on the screen....
Great job, horrible pick.
When your team throws an incompletion, terrible pick, why is that a terrible pick? Do not almost nut yourself if...
Wait, what was your pick? sorry?
The pass interference icon that pops up after your team throws an incompletion and it saves you.
How is that going to look? On a graphic? Well, it looks cool when it happens on the TV Rushmore Graphic. It's a paragraph.
I don't think about that, Max, I don't think about that. That's why you're in last place. Well, you're a big fucking pander bear, aren't you?
That's not true.
You just admitted to pandering to the graphic, he does pander, wow.
You know, Max Panders, that's why he's in first, yeah, he's been pandering the entire meatball contingency.
I go with my heart.
You don't think this guy likes meatballs? No, I'm just saying you've been pandering to fat meatball users.
And you know what? I actually think the people will like, the pass interference thing. We've all been there.
Yeah, no, I mean, PFT is kind of right. Peter Schrager just walked in.
Peter, I got a question for you. When you're watching football, you're rooting for a team, Max, will you shut the fuck up?
Actually, I should lead off with.
Let's all go one by one. We have so many grievances right now. Sit in the middle, sit in the middle, sit in the middle.
All right, all right. First question. Peter Schrager, NFL Network. You can find him everywhere.
Next week Great Hard Knocks podcast Peter Schrager What color is Pepper Jack cheese? It's a white with a red and orange tint of like speckles.
Correct answer Is there a difference between a golden retriever and a labrador or yellow lab? Yes, okay, beer's brown.

Okay.
