Boys, how we feeling chill.
Feeling very chill, extremely chill. I'm way chiller than Hank.
I'm way chiller than Hank as well.
I think chill is just a state of mind. I don't think that there's a competition.
Okay, well, if there were a competition, we would win. Chillest.
That sounds like something that somebody who's not chill would say, Yeah, it's not a competition, I don't know.
This week, though, first of all, we're rookies out here, which has never been more apparent because every move we've made, everyone's like, Oh, you did that.
Yeah, we're leaving the golf tournament before the golf tournament.
Yes, but it's been an incredible week. Thank you to the American Century Championship incredible host. We've got some awesome interviews that are gonna be coming out in the next few weeks. It was like a dream coming out here.
It's beautiful, the scenery, the vibes, all the dudes in the flat brim hats, which I don't know why. But California just does that, and they do it better than everyone else.
Kids in flat, brim hats everywhere.
Yeah, we were signing autographs for kids.
That was weird.
Kept apologizing, I kept trying to pull away and they kept like, please, please, please. I'm like, you don't want this.
This event has a lot of very famous people. we are not very famous people, we're barely famous online.
But everyone's in autograph and picture mode, and if you're walking somewhere with a credential, everyone's just like, Who is that? I got a lot of Who is that? And then a bunch of kids being like, can we get your autograph? I was like, I don't think you want my autograph.
Yeah, they're here to get autographs from, like Tony Romo, people that they see on TV, like the famous people. And then they see us coming out. And then kids come over and I'm like, I don't want to ruin your hat. Yeah, like, my signature makes your hat trash.
I signed a kid's niners jersey, a six-year-old's niners jersey. I was like, Dude, you don't want this? and he was just like, Yeah, I do.
There were two six-year-old girls that were like, Sign my arm, and I looked at the parents. I was like, I don't want to sign your child's arm, yeah.
But here we are, here we are. Chill week. Yeah, it's been awesome.
Okay, we'll talk more chill week, we'll talk fire fest, f-i-r-e fire fest at the end, because it's been such a chill week. We should start, though, with the most important news in sports history Greg Berhalter has been fired yet again.
We did it, guys, congratulations.
USA soccer is back on the map.
We're so back, we're going to win a World Cup as quickly as we were back then. We went straight to Klopp, the guy that we wanted, the great coach, I think he coached. I'm going to fuck this up, Liverpool, maybe.
Yeah, Liverpool.
Yeah, so he was our number one, and he has rebuffed us. The United States has been rebuffed by Jurgen Klopp.
But who doesn't rebuff a first offer?
We just got to come back out of zero.
We just got to go higher and higher and higher.
Or hear me out. What if we just hired Greg again? Third time's the charm.
He does know where the office is.
Yeah, he's like, maybe the Jeff Fisher of u.
S Soccer Yeah.
This is going to be the one that changes it, though.
I think, so, yeah, I think that it can't be worse, no.
There is something very satisfying. I'm not the biggest soccer fan, but in all sports, when you've been trying to get a guy fired and you finally do it, it's just a very satisfying feeling. Because it really is the only way that fans feel like they had an impact, even though he probably got fired, not because of the fans, but because he sucked as a coach.
No, it was us, it was us.
But you can take credit for it as a fan and be like, Yeah, mission accomplished. We fucking did it, we got this guy fired.
The funniest thing ever was, I think it was late last week. The biggest supporters club of the United States, the U.
S outlaws. They issued a statement officially calling for his firing. Oh, no, which was big, yeah.
Once you lose the outlaws.
Once you lose the outlaws, then you're the in-laws.
It's over.
Nobody likes in-laws. It's good. I've said it's been a long time coming, I don't know who we're going to get at this point. What I saw last night when we were watching the Copa America and after the game was over, we saw the Uruguayan players. They went into the stands to fight the Colombian supporters.
Yeah, Mouse the Palace.
The United States will never be great at soccer until our players care enough to go into the stands and fight people from other countries.
I had the exact same thought. I was like, we could fire, hire, get any coach you want in the world. It's the SEC. It just means more.
Somehow, a mouse the Palace situation where they were throwing chairs and fighting fans in the stage. At no point was I like, Oh my God, they have to stop this. I was like, these guys just fucking care about soccer.
This rocks. And that one dude from Uruguay, I think it was Nunez, Darwin Nunez. He was wearing like a sports bra, charging into the stands, just throwing haymakers. And God bless the cops that were out there because they were just standing and just watching. It was a boys will be boys situation. Sometimes you've got to let them fight it out.
Yeah, this is how they deal with a loss and I had no problem with it.
And I would love to see the U.
S Have that type of emotion.
We'll never, we'll never get there.
Maybe so SEc What if we did the full Ted Lasso experiment and we got like Nick Saban? Just have him coach the team and then bring in like an X's nose? Guys have him just talk about football and then have a guy there that's just translating everything that he says into soccer.
Yeah, I like it, I like it. Hank asked if Columbia was going to play England in their next game. They should because England did win as well. It's coming home.
They're going to get killed by Spain.
It's coming home, though.
But it is coming home.
Did you see the Killers concert? No, that was incredible. I think that was in London or in England somewhere. And they played the end of the game live, like on this massive screen behind them. I love that.
And then, the second the game was over, the killers went into Mr. Brightside and they shot confetti. The entire crowd went nuts. This seems to me like an England team of destiny.
Yeah, I love watching those videos in England, when they just all throw all full beers at each other. Yeah, it's just the best time ever.
It's like the Cubs outfield. Who was it that hit that home run?
Miguel Montero Love a good beer slam against the Dodgers. That was one of the most electric moments ever.
Yeah, but I don't know. Spain's probably way too good for England, but it would be cool to see it come home for once, yeah.
They don't play Tiki-taka anymore.
They don't, no, because they got that new guy.
Yeah, I heard they don't do that anymore. This is probably some in-depth soccer. People don't even know we had in our bag. They don't do the Tiki-Taka, which Tiki-Taka was. That was just like if you just made an entire offense out of like screens.
It was Phil Jackson's dream offense, it was a triangle. Triangle is everywhere.
Yeah, and it just like bores you to death. Until they just they keep passing it, until they're standing right in front of the goal.
Yeah.
That's talking soccer, okay, other things. U.S men's basketball team played against Canada last night. Bad first quarter, but then we kicked their ass.
It was awesome hearing Bill Raftery on the call.
It's like Alabama football with them, though, yeah, but like, that was a big, uh-oh close game in first quarter.
Yeah, because the U.
S should never lose in basketball. But there is like a weird thing that can happen with them where they're so talented and the guys aren't like moving on offense. And then you play another team that. It's a bunch of dudes that have been playing together since they were in elementary school and they know how to play ball together. I don't think that's going to happen, but that's what it looked like in the first quarter. And we had Dylan Brooks still trying to be an agitator, even after a loss. I love that.
Cut through Devin Brooks or Devin. Yeah, Devin Booker's interview just walked right in front of him when he was getting interviewed. But the big story about USA basketball hank Jalen Brown.
What about him not on the team and he's upset?
He's very upset, he thinks it's a conspiracy by Nike to keep him out, he said. Because Derek White is now on the team, allegedly because Kawhi. Pretty shocking news, Kawhi got hurt and can't play.
Well, the Clippers brought him home. Yeah, I think the Clippers were like, We know you, you're going to get hurt, yeah.
Please don't get hurt, you're not allowed to play.
It actually was perfect that Kawhi showed up and played in some practices, and then as soon as the playoff started, he's like, I'm out, guys.
Yeah, so they brought Kawhi back. Everybody thought, surely Jalen Brown? He was a snub the first time he did not get the gig? They think it's because of Nike, because Nike sponsors the U.S national team.
And then Jalen Brown just tweeted out, I'm not afraid of you or your resources. And then he did the monocle thinking emoji, He did this one hank.
Yeah, the monopoly guy.
Yeah, monopoly guy.
Or is it the Pringles guy?
Monopoly Guy does not have a monocle, that's Mandela effect.
Yeah, Pringles guy, Pringles guy.
He's got the mustache.
Does the Pringles guy have the monocle?
Who has the monocle?
Monopoly guy doesn't have a monocle.
Wait, the Pringles guy has a monocle, Monopoly guy has a monocle.
I think Monopoly Guy definitely has a monocle.
This is guys talking about monocles real quick. Pringles doesn't? Pringles guy just has the mustache, and then Monopoly guy. what's the Monopoly guy's name?
Something like penny –.
Monopoly guy doesn't have a monocle. Oh, he does. he does in an alternate logo. he has a monocle.
Alternate, yeah.
Well, like this one, that's a monocle.
Classic Monopoly Guy does not have a monocle.
So who's the most famous monocle guy?
There's no monocle guy.
I'm going to look this up, oh, Mr. Peanut.
Oh yeah.
Shane Look at that, Shane from the raft. Yes, Mr.
Peanut is the number one monocle guy.
Maybe we should bring that back.
We should do Mount Rushmore Monocle guys.
I think we just did.
Yeah, I think so, too. Monopoly Guy, Pringles Guy, Mr. Peanut.
Sam Darnold when he couldn't play in that game.
Yeah, Sam Darnold. Yeah, yeah. So what do you think, Hank?
I mean, I think there's only one ball.
Did you even know this was happening?
Totally, oh, he totally knew, yeah, yeah.
Well, you're so chill, I didn't know.
We've been talking about it for two days. Yeah, we have not brought it up once. I mean, we definitely talked about it at length yesterday, but that's fine. You're rewriting history.
Oh, that sounded very unchill of you.
I'm not scared of your resources.
Hank just tweets that after every Mount Rushmore.
There's only one ball, so I think it makes sense to bring in someone that's, you know, a good defensive player who's used to coming off the bench. He's going to, you know, contribute in ways where he doesn't need to be necessarily a superstar. And I do think there is probably some truth to the Nike thing. Where Kyrie is also, you know, if Jalen Brown's a snub, Kyrie's a snub. Obviously. Derek White's a great player, I'm happy for him and I think he's going to, you know, contribute to the team.
But if we're talking on pure talent, Kyrie and Jalen Brown are better than Derek White, they're both very outspoken against Nike. Coincidence, Probably not, yeah.
Finals MVP JaLEN Yeah, not good enough to make the national team, I think not.
Did you see I had a nice moment? Micah Potter and Nigel Hayes-Davis both got in the game. Wisconsin because it's so they have the team select, which is like what Cooper Flagg is on.
He should have gotten the gig, yeah, they should have brought him up.
Well, they're practicing, but because of Kawhi and KD being out, they let the two of them be on the team for the game against Canada. Pretty fucking cool moment.
Yeah.
To be like, I got to play on team USA.
Yeah.
That's like Micah Potter scored.
Yeah, there was a great moment, too. I think it was before the game, or maybe it could have been a day or two ago where Obama went up to. Every player on the team, dapped them all up, then got to the coaches and did the very firm handshake. It was the key and Peele sketch to the point where I thought he was doing it on purpose. Yes, like, the handshakes were so rigid and white at the end.
Yes, it was so funny to watch, though, but yeah, good job USA. You beat Canada. I feel like Canada is going to be almost as tough of a competition as they'll run into.
Like, some of the Eastern European teams are probably pretty good, too.
France is going to be good.
France will be a problem.
France will be a problem.
Maybe might be suited for the international game.
Greece is going to be a problem.
Greece is a problem.
Greece Who else is a problem?
You got Giannis and Thanasis.
Yeah, who else? There's no other problems. Is there anyone?
Slovenia out Serbia.
Not in Slovakia, Slovenia didn't make it.
Oh, okay, wow, yeah. Lithuania.
Luka lost to Giannis.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
Spain.
Spain the Gasol Brothers got to be still doing it.
Yeah, for sure.
That's for sure happening.
Cameroon, Cameroon, Oh wait.
Oh.
Are you a birther? What's going on here? You don't think Embiid should be on Team USA? I forgot, Oh, okay.
You think he's ring-chasing?
He is.
It is, yeah.
Don't you want Embiid on Team USA, though?
He fouled out in 12 minutes, so it's not like he's going to help too much.
Yeah, it's only five fouls, but that's crazy that he fouled out in five minutes. I didn't realize that.
It's pre-season, it's pre-season Olympics.
It was, it literally was pre-season Olympics.
Yeah, but still.
And everyone's freaking out about Embiid, who cares about? Pre-season, the game didn't count.
Well, I feel like you have to practice like you play.
Sounds like you're freaking out about Embiid dude. I mean, I'm not saying we're chill over here, you're kind of coming at us.
I'm not chill, Max. What happened was Hank just pointed out a fact.
Hank is bad.
Put it on a quote card.
Hank is bad, bad, bad.
Maybe he means bad as in good as in chill.
Bad.
He's a bad motherfucker bad.
Okay, a couple other things one. Next week, EA Sports College football is out.
Huge.
Duggs is going to come back. I'll release the schedule maybe Sunday, but Sunday PFT, Hank and Max can get in on it as well. We're going to do a little preview stream.
First look.
5 Central to 7 central, 6 to 8 eastern on our channels, so we'll be streaming from the office first. Look, you'll get to watch us play the game. I think we should use it, we should maybe play a couple scrimmages, but we also should like, toy around and see what team I should pick.
I'm thinking also about, like, what are roles on the staff?
Yeah, I want you guys to be, if anyone wants, to be defensive coordinator and actually play the game with me. But also I would love to have a recruiting director so I can blame someone for not getting me the best recruits.
That feels like a good role for Hank, yeah.
Strength coach.
Strength coach Yes, that would be awesome. I would like that strength coach would be great, yeah.
Okay, so we'll figure it out, but yeah, tune in, we're going to be doing a stream, it's going to be a preview stream, yeah.
It's the most anticipated video game I think release ever. It's going to change how summer's dealt with.
I'm excited to see what the different things you can do behind the scenes are, yeah.
I heard you're going to make a burner count.
Yeah, we're going to get, we're going to get –.
Burner count. Yeah, I like that.
We're basically we'll play a couple games, but we're also going to just kind of get deep into the game and figure out what's going on.
Can you choose not to suspend your running back for Duis?
We'll try, yeah, yeah, we'll give it a shot, but yeah, tune in for that.
Paul Skeens threw a no-hitter through seven innings.
So he had what, how many pitches? 99 took him out before he got to 100..
I get it, but also fuck that.
So –.
Like, dude, he's been in M.L.B for three months. Imagine if he threw a no-hitter that would be so sick.
It seems like they just have Paul Skeens rules, like they had the Strasburg rules back in the day. Where it's like, if he throws 100 pitches, that's bad, 99 pitches is good.
I don't know why, okay, so I understand. You don't want him to throw 140 pitches, but if you're at 99, put him out there for the eighth inning. See if he can get out of it in 10 pitches. And then you go again, you know, like, what's the difference between 99 pitches and 110 pitches?
There's nothing. Well, it's 11, it's 11 pitches, 11 pitches.
I was hoping that the Pirates were going to throw a combined no-hitter, because that would kind of. That'd be funny. That'd be like a weird thing where it's like, Oh, yeah, you had a no-hitter, the team had a no-hitter.
I apologize for all Pittsburgh fans who are listening to this. But if I were not thinking about them, I would say that they're saving his arm for when he gets signed by the Yankees. Later, yes.
So you're saying that it wouldn't have been as –.
No, it would have, I said, a combined no-hitter.
It wouldn't have been as meaningful.
No, it would have been as meaningful because he would have been like I was part of a no-hitter.
But you just said that you were upset that they took him out.
I am upset they took him out because I wanted to see him throw it by himself. But if they had thrown the whole no-hitter, it would have been awesome, too. A no-hitter is a no-hitter, bro.
Do you ever think like, there's probably people I always just think about, like the hundred people who? This is our first episode of Pardon my take. They're like, What was that?
It's a zero-hitter.
What just happened?
It's a zero. According to Max, it would have been a combined zero-hitter.
What was that 20-seconds exchange that just occurred? You don't, you can't explain.
It's usually some like deep thing that we have to needle somewhere, sometimes people don't even know what we're doing when we do it. Even if you do listen to the show, something maybe happened off-camera, off-screen. And we're just like spending valuable podcast time just making one of our producers lives miserable.
Yeah, or just valuable podcast time fighting the same fight that we've been fighting for years, just rehashing it because that's what guys do. It is it really is the most chill guy. Thing to do is be like, let me bring up the thing that we fought about years ago and just pick it up like we've never dropped it.
Yeah, I mean, Memes has been on a pip for two years.
That's true. Memes has been on a pip.
Can we tell the story about the David Wells interview or no?
Max forgot to record one of the cameras and it was great because I was like.
Memes? You're going to be Max is going to be on a pip, pip's off you. And he's like, No way. This is going to be hard for me to get big social numbers, so I'm just going to get even deeper into the Pip. He's like, everything just rolls down to me.
Max fucked up. It's going to be on me. It turned out great, that was a great interview.
Yeah, David Wells legendary, he's a football guy who played baseball.
Yeah, yeah, great, great interview. And then I also had I found the dumbest hypothetical ever. You guys want to hear it? This was going around the internet yesterday.
Office debate, says Ryan Cohn, 24, Office debate today. Would you rather get handed 30k right now or play a week in the big leagues? No pay?
30k.
30k all day, would I rather –.
What position, right?
Whatever position you would just get. If the hypothetical was you got to be good at baseball and play for a week. But if you put me on an M.L.B. team for a week, I think it would be the most miserable week of your life.
No, that's no confidence, dude, you got to bet on yourself. I would bet on myself personally.
You would like say they put you out in outfield, what if they put you at third base?
Yeah, you never know, you never know what if I'm really sick.
Just every single play just being a disaster for you.
Yeah, you got to bet on yourself, you could parlay that into hundreds of millions of dollars.
Yeah, man, Dh, you just have to be Dh.
No, you have to play the field for this hypothetical. I mean, it would be cool to hang out with the guys, but the guys would hate you after one game.
Probably less than that, but you suck. Yeah, probably less than that, probably first practice.
Yeah, probably warm-ups.
Yeah, what's my era, though, if we extrapolated what that was against University of Chicago.
Oh, I don't know.
I think my era is what I led in two runs, yeah, over an inning, I have a 9.0..
It was two innings, two innings, so I have a 9.0 ERA. Yeah, that's better than a lot of big league players.
There might be an unearned run there, too.
Yeah, that's true, good point.
Which is probably my fault as a pitcher. Yeah, that is.
Well, it was Jerry calling the clock, yeah.
But I mean, who knows, I've got that irrational confidence sometimes where it's like, you never know until you step into a situation, maybe you're just sick at it. Yeah, we found that out with wakeboarding.
That's a good point, yeah. Wakeboarding video When is wakeboarding video coming out?
I think it's out, it's out now.
It's already out, it is already out.
It's already out.
Hank was so chill in it, it was unreal how chill Hank was.
We're not wakeboarders.
No.
We're not wakeboarders.
I think we all knew it going into it, too. We were like, none of us will be good at this.
I said, I think maybe it's not in the video, but I definitely said it. 1.
0 chance.
One person is good, and it's the last person that any person is going to expect.
But it was very chill vibes.
It was.
And Hank has definitely got the wakeboarding bug, he's talking about it, he's thinking about it. It might be a Mount Rushmore punishment if you have to get up on a wakeboard for five minutes.
It'll never happen, it'll never happen.
Hank, You think you can get up for five minutes?
Yes, I mean, we're talking about irrational confidence, betting on yourself. Yes, I thought I broke my wrist, too. It turns out if you hold on too tight when you're wakeboarding, you can seriously damage your wrist.
Yeah, I couldn't open a door, I was trying to open like a Coors light can, and I had to ask people for help.
It's tough. It was very sad.
I felt like an 80-year-old man.
Can I say something that was very sad? It was probably the most I've worked my core out in a long time. And last night I googled, Which side is your appendix on? because I thought my appendix was about to burst. It turns out my pain is on my left side, my appendix is on my right side.
That's good.
And it's all just because of weight. Yeah, it's just weight. But I was like, there's no way that I'm this sore two days after, I must have an appendix about to burst.
The trick is, hank, you're supposed to keep your arms straight when it pulls you up, bend your arms and use too much of your forearm muscle. And then you can't open up a water bottle afterwards.
You've got to keep those arms straight, straight, as could be okay anything else. Before we do our Mount Rushmore, we'll get to Firefest.
Anything else in the sports world?
I saw that the All-Star game is going to have robot bartenders.
What?
Yeah, robot bartenders at the All-Star game. If you're a fan and you want a drink, you go up and a robot pours your drink for you.
Not only does the Fox robot.
I would love Cletus. Yeah, it's going to spin around an iPad afterwards and ask you for a tip. I heard that they're also going to, like, wave you over and make small talk with you, whoa, which is fucking creepy.
I'm very nervous that Christian Yelich is going to be in the home run derby. No, we're starting to hit a lot of home runs.
We're good, we're fine, we're fine with that.
This could be the end of the podcast.
He's a choke artist.
That'd be actually funny if he won. And we ended the podcast, and our last episode was just like eight straight interviews that we did this week just dumped them all. Here you go.
Yeah, we're ready. Christian Yeah, that's what you don't know. We've got an apocalypse bunker of interviews that we're ready to unleash.
Ready to go okay before we get to Mount Rushmore. Chill Week Shout out Coors Light. They are our sponsor for Chill Week. They're our sponsor every week, but especially this week.

Okay, let's do the Mount Rushmore. Okay, let's do our Mount Rushmore and is brought to you by our friends at Pepsi.
Saucy, crunchy, gooey, messy, pepsi is an essential part of the most undeniably delicious food moments. The refreshing pop of sweet, fizzy pepsi bubbles makes even the best food taste even better. Grab a Pepsi zero sugar for your next meal, as every crave-worthy bite is better with pepsi. I love the Pepsi wild cherry.
So thank you to Pepsi, we're going to do the Mount Rushmore sandwiches, and every single one of these goes better with a Pepsi, so thank you to Pepsi, okay?
It's Mount Rushmore time, we're doing the Mount Rushmore of sandwiches.
How have we never done this? I don't know.
It's going to be contentious, though.
It is going to be contentious.
I don't think it's going to be contentious.
Well, it's going to be contentious because I feel like everyone's going to have a stacked board. Oh so, we're going to have to go at each other's pixel.
It's an all-time draft.
Should we just say right now like, hot dog, now, like?
We're doing that.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I'm okay with that.
That's the only thing I can think of, like being contentious.
I think if you say hot dog, you deserve what's coming to you, yeah.
Okay, that's a good point.
Okay.
That's a good point, that's a good point.
We also need to figure out what the punishment is, because we realize the calling thing is, well, great idea is not going to work because you're basically illegally taping people. Yep, so let's figure out what the punishment is right now before we get too deep into Mount Rushmore season. Or at least throw out some ideas right now, no, or at least throw out some ideas that we can marinate on and maybe we'll finalize it next week.
I like, but we don't want to get so far deep into Mount Rushmore that if someone's way behind, they're like, I'm not doing that.
I like the idea of sending somebody on a road trip that they don't want to go on.
Okay.
Like, making them travel in the most inconvenient way possible to the worst destination, for no reason.
Okay, run a marathon.
Fuck no.
That's not doing that. You completely twisted my words on that.
Yeah.
I'm just thinking of ideas.
Yeah.
Walk a marathon.
What else we got?
Send them to the Arctic Circle.
What if I was also thinking, like, what if we all came up with personal punishments? That would be good for streams that would take a long time, but also not be like the worst thing ever. So you could, like, we could all come up with our own punishments.
And we could modify the other person's all, put them together, and then we'll have a group discussion about all. And then we can tweak the punishments to make them all relatively right.
Equal, right?
This should be a homework assignment, right?
Next week, yeah.
Because I was just thinking about it.
Like, I would like if I did like something, some ridiculous, uh, like basketball shooting thing, that would take me hours and hours and hours. Like Bft. You probably don't want to do that. So we should figure out something like specific to each of us.
I think it's going to be a universal.
Okay, all right, this is no bad.
I actually don't mind big cats, but then we're back.
But then we're back to the situation where you get upset because of the hot dogs, because Big Cat and I are larger than you.
Yeah right, exactly, you come, you're the key complainer of anything.
You're always like, Oh, you want to do that?
Well, yeah, you, I mean, you want to eat hot dogs?
I don't want to eat so many hot dogs, I feel sick.
I think we should think about it.
You're so dumb, you could have just been like hole in one stream for yourself.
Yeah.
We should think for the viewers.
Okay, yeah, well, you're being really unchill.
I think Hank Hank doesn't want to do homework.
Yeah.
Which is actually, to be fair, kind of chill.
Look at your hat right now.
Oh, shit.
Buddy, there we go, now you're chill, all right? Let's go Mount Rushmore of sandwiches.
Who's up first, Max?
I'm up first.
The standings, by the way, are they are. Max is on fire.
He's been hot.
He's got 15 points.
Your defense is terrifying.
I have 14 points, PFT has 11, Hank has 10. Still very close.
It's anyone's game.
Anyone's game. So that's why we got to figure out the punishment.
Yep, what if we did that idea where we come up with different ideas? But each person gets somebody else to think of the punishment for.
Oh, draw out of hat ideas.
No, so, like I would come up with punishment for Hank, oh Hank would come up with one for Max, Max, you, you, me, something like that.
Yeah.
Hank go two days without complaining.
Challenge impossible?
Did you do it?
I think I can.
I also kind of like the idea if we did, if we came up with like five or six, and we did a by hat.
I like that idea, yeah.
So it's like, we don't know what's going to happen, you can't prepare for it. Yeah, we all submit an idea and it's like, because I do think, no matter what it is. The punishment should be something that we can easily stream so the people can get involved. Yep.
That's what it has to be, yeah.
We should all have one approved idea.
Yeah.
And it gets drawn at the end of the Mount Rushmore.
Everyone come with two good ideas for Monday's show, and then we'll whittle it down to the best four ideas. And then those go into a hat. And when we get to the end of Mount Rushmore season, the loser draws out of a hat.
Love it? Yeah, I love it.
Okay, all right, great, all right. Who's up?
I'm up.
Cheese steak one one.
Good pick It's a good pick.
It's a good pick, it's a sandwich so good that we've made a brand off of this sandwich.
I love cheese steaks. I was saying, Mmm, because I want one, Oh, got it, I was just like, Mmm.
Good pick.
What did you? what did you thought I was going to? –?
I don't know, I don't know, I was just, I was just –.
It sounds like you got defensive.
Bft, you said this was going to be –.
Yeah.
I am, if I'm in Philly, I'm getting a Cooper Sharp with onions, Cooper Sharp wit.
Cooper Sharp Wit.
Yes.
Whiz wit.
Part of my cheese steak.
All right.
Shout out part of my cheese steak.
Okay, my one one, I'm going to go with an Italian. So by that, I mean, it's got to have like three different kinds of meats on it, usually like a soppressata, a gabagool.
Pepperoni.
Pursuit, maybe pepperoni on there, you get the hot peppers, the oil, the Italian shake, provolone. Some people put mozzarella. I like provolone.
A little bit melted toasted bun, spicy mustard.
Love it.
Heavenly sandwich.
Love it, Am I up?
I believe I am, Yes, you are up.
Chicken parm done.
I knew you were going to go there.
Cheese steak is my one one, chicken parm would be my one two.
I had to go cheese steak, but if I didn't go cheese steak, I was going to go chicken parm. Chicken parm is still up, and Italian was probably up there. It's a loaded draft. Yeah, yeah.
This is a loaded draft.
There's so many good options.
There's going to be some extra options.
Yeah.
Take a hot dog.
I'm going to go with a Cubano.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
Interesting.
No, I do like that sandwich, I didn't have it on my board, but I really do like that sandwich.
I didn't think Hank had that in him, though.
I had it on my big board as like a break glass in case of emergency.
My board is shattered.
Wait, did you only have chicken, parm, cheese, steak and Italian?
I got some other ones, but that was a majority.
Three.
Three, and then we'll go with BLT.
Okay.
Classic Okay, never fails. Okay, some of these sandwiches, you can get bad versions of them.
It's almost impossible to get a bad version of a BLT. Yep.
I'm happy because I got my second pick.
Bacon, egg and cheese.
Good one.
Really good one.
That's just the classic, what?
What was that face breakfast sandwich? Yeah.
What did you say? What was the second word you said there? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a breakfast sandwich.
Wait, were you trying to make the case that it wasn't a sandwich?
It's 100 a sandwich.
I haven't said a word.
But you gave us all, right. Restart the clock, Hank, not complaining.
The gaslighting of America. Okay, Hank takes advantage. If you're a podcast-only listener, Hank takes advantage of you so much because you don't see his face.
There's actually probably someone just who's never watched us. You give Hank such a hard time and they're like, they're so mean to Hank. It's like you didn't see his face.
Yeah.
Go watch the video. That was a face when I said, bacon, egg and cheese.
You did a face.
I was thinking, you did a face when I did bacon, egg and cheese.
Okay, I think that's a good pick.
Thank you.
Yeah.
For sure, I mean, you guys both definitely had it on your list.
Yes, yes.
I actually, I had that on there, but I also had with the hash brown on it. Oh yeah, I like it when you add the hash brown.
For sure.
That gives it a little crisp to it. Yeah, all right, this is great because I got my number two overall pick on here.
I thought Cubano was your number two overall.
I did have Cubano on my list, which is.
It is a good sandwich, it's a great sandwich, it's a really good sandwich.
I'm also curious, it's not one, it's not first round.
Hank, How many Cubanos have you had?
So many chef.
Are you just in a Cubano phase right now, though? because that's the other thing about you, you're a phase eater.
Huge phase eater.
When you, I realized this, I don't know, probably like five or six years ago, I can't remember what it it might have been. Meatball.
No, it was steak and cheese.
It was steak and cheese, you had steak and cheese every single day for like three weeks. And then I didn't see you with the steak and cheese for the rest of the year. And I was like, What happened? You're like, I like to eat in phases and I just go as hard as I can and then I stop.
I'm the same exactly with music, I find a song I like, I listen to it every day, over and over again, and then I just.
Actually, people are like that with food, too.
