Travis Kelce, Mt Rushmore Of Red Things And We Catch Up On Baseball

Hey, Part of my Take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music on Today's Part of My Take. We have two-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce on the show. Sat down with him for over 30 minutes. He was an awesome, awesome interview.

Boy.

Now in the street, there is violence.

And lots of work to be done.

No place to hang out or wash in.

And then I can't name all of the songs.

Oh, no, we're going to rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher. Oh, we're going to rock down to Electric Avenue. It's part of my take, presented by Barstool Sports.

Welcome to part of my take. Today is Monday, June 26th, and guys, all my fears have come true. Billy Football is sitting right next to me on the desk, Hey Billy.

How are you doing here? Because the camera cuts are easier if I'm sitting here. Thank you for having me at the desk.

PFT please help.

Yeah, no, I have to deal with this reality twice a week when we record macro dosing. When Billy takes your spot and it takes a little bit to get used to, Billy tried to make a joke. When we first started, he was like, I can slouch down if I'm too tall for this camera, Billy's too tall for cameras and his own brain.

What, we're the same height, Billy.

No, we're not, no, he's saying, because it's not for PFT.

Oh, oh, because you're sitting in there. oh, got it, got it.

Because they can move the cameras.

How tall are you, taller than you? How tall are you?

We don't look eye to eye.

Ok.

Oh, a little preview of the vlog behind the scenes at Titan University. Billy, I think you were saying that, was it David and Joku that you were sitting next to? No, No? Billy was like, I'm 6'4".

No, I said I was 6'3, he was like, I'm 6'4, you're not 6'3, and I was like, he was definitely 6'6".

Yeah, 6'4 is definitely a lie.

No, he was huge. I never said 6'4, that's on today.

OK, so it is a great show. we got a great show, we got Travis Kelsey on this show. Boys, we are in the middle of summer, we're going to talk some baseball.

Yeah, I mean, it was an embarrassment to the game of golf. They're making the courses too easy. It's the balls actually, right? Yes, when I watched Keegan Bradley play, I was like, OK, golf does have a ball problem.

Yes, yes, Rory mentioned it after. He's like, maybe these courses, maybe we are too good for the course. Why don't they just make it like a par 65? Just juice this like it doesn't really matter, right?

If I were the U.

I like that.

Scores reduced.

I like that, Hank. Did you not like seeing the course just get battered the way it did?

No, I mean, I love Keegan Pride of New England, winning it in Connecticut. Special stuff. I was happy for the guy.

OK, all right, so that was awesome.

I also tweeted a picture that I have with him and then he started to fall apart, so I got really concerned, but he never in doubt.

Yeah, he did, it did look like for a moment there, but he was. So you can't apologize for a bad last four holes when you're that good the whole tournament and no one's even close to you. Like, that's actually kind of a sick flex to be like, I can be so, so bad in these last four holes and I'll never even have to sweat because that's how good I was.

And Rory should focus on hitting some putts. You know, that's the balls, have nothing to do with why he's losing all these tournaments.

Yeah, that's a fact. We also have a national championship tonight, so LSU Florida National Championship on the line. Best of three, it's the third game.

Yeah, and sweetest two words in sports Game three.

Game three it's going to be electric. I don't know if you guys have watched any of this series, but obviously Florida just. I don't even know if you could say it's shit pumping, because it was, it was laughable. It looked like a like men's softball league when it's one team's wearing batting gloves.

I was going to use the term curb stomping. yeah, it was a curb stomping that the Gators put on, put on the tigers. And it looked like LSU was going to come out. They did come out strong and it looked like it was going to be an easy LSU win. Until Who was on Florida hit like those those two dingers to left field, the second of which was basically a pop fly, and the wind carried it out.

I like it, I like it. The other big story is Paul Skeens, who's pitching for LSU. I think tomorrow who is the best pitcher in college baseball and is going for? There's. There's different eras in college baseball. But there's only three guys going into this tournament who had more strikeouts than him on a season, and it was Jared Weaver, Trevor Bauer and Mark Pryor. If he has five strikeouts tomorrow, he will have the record in, like the last 30 years.

Yeah, you know who? The big winner in all this is is the bar that sells the Jell-o shots for having LSU fans stick around for another night. They're probably going to do like $250,000 worth of business just based on that. Yeah, in and of itself.

He's been trending a couple of times and it's like, been like, Wait, what's going on? And then you realize, Oh yeah, he's just on the on the bump right now.

Did you? Did you hear this one big cat? Did you read about this? When they put Riley Cooper in the game? He's a great relief pitcher, he's going to give you three K's.

Oh, nice, nice.

I like you, that one.

I like it, put them all right. I'll wait before we do baseball talk. That was a little baseball talk.

No, it's fine, I just have. I have five players here. That shocked me when I learned what team they were on. And it's something that we remember from, like the second week of March, when free agency starts. And because there's so much that happens around, then it just my brain is on a one.

So I'm ready, I'm going to, I'm going to give my best shot, so you give it to me. And anyone else can chime in as well.

Do you know where Darren Waller plays?

Is he on the Giants? He is, yeah.

He's a giant.

I only remember that because Darren Waller got traded right after Josh McDaniels leaked his wedding that he was trying to keep private. And then Darren Waller was like, you son of a bitch. I hate you, just like everyone who's ever played for Josh McDaniels. And then that trade happened, like, a week after.

JOSH McDaniels is trying his hardest to recreate the New England Patriots. Except Tom Brady is now the owner, not the quarterback, and it's not going well for him. Yes, second player, this one absolutely floored me.

Oh, fuck, I want to say, I want to say, I want to say it's the Panthers because Andy Dalton's also on the Panthers.

It is the Panthers, okay?

I'm sure.

You're locked in, you're locked in. Go, you did not look any of these up.

No, I, I. I remember Adam Thielen leaving Minnesota, and I remember, obviously I know where Andy Dalton's playing. So I was like, Damn, that's a. And now I'm even thinking, is it Bryce? Bryce Young is in Carolina? he's in Carolina. That took me a second.

Their coach?

Frank Reich.

Yep, all right, we're locked, we're locked in on the Panthers boys.

I'm good.

I was looking at this roster and looking at Reich, and I was like, you know what? Panthers might go ahead, they might fuck around and win that division this year. Also, Andy Dalton is going to look swaggy as hell in that silver helmet, the red hair.

It's tough, tough for for Saints fans, though. You never want to see your star quarterback go in the division.

Yep, uh, now Elijah Moore, you know where he's at?

This one, I got nothing.

Cleveland Browns.

Okay, that that. okay, that makes sense.

Ezekiel elliott.

Nowhere.

Got it? yeah, trick question.

Okay.

Ezekiel Elliott He's been acquired by the summer, he is a he's playing full-time for summer vibes. He's working on that life, life balance right now.

Really smart move by him. Enjoy your summer, not have to worry about training camp. Someone will sign you and then you can just deal with that later. That's such a he's going to have intense, intense Sunday scaries, though.

Hard Knocks is going to come out and Ezekiel's going to be like, Oh, fuck.

Yeah.

I gotta go to work soon, I'm supposed to go somewhere. He's not going to have the belly shirt this year, I can guarantee you that he's going to get fat as shit this off season.

Hey, who has hard knocks? Detroit? Maybe last year.

They asked Detroit to do it again. It's down to the teams that they can force to do it the jets, the bears, the commanders.

Oh, okay, I think they probably will go with jets.

Yeah, as a fan of the league, I think it's probably going to be good for them to do the jets.

Oh, I'm looking, I just looked it up, uh, the. According to The Detroit News, the NFL has had such a tough time finding a team that the league actually asked the Lions to return for 2023. So the answer might be the Lions.

Yeah, no, I don't think that they want to do it. I mean, why would you want to do it? Back to back years? I guess it's good for the brand, good for advertising.

I'm I'm deathly afraid of it being the bears, because we, I mean, we talk about it every August. When you watch hard knocks, there's a couple of players that end up doing nothing. That you get hyped about and you're like, this guy's going to be incredible and you draft them too early and all that stuff. That's the last thing the Bears need right now.

Hmm, yeah, all right. Next player. This is the last player that I have on the list.

Ooh, he, did he go back to no, where was he? Last year? It was on the Vikings.

Yeah, it was on the Vikings last year.

Did he go back to the Cardinals?

That would make sense, just because it would feel it would feel right seeing him in the red and white. He is a stealer. Oh, that's going to be weird, because, like, getting a marquee name like that to then join the Steelers in their second. I feel like that doesn't really happen that much, yeah.

Okay, that's a all right, that's a good one, that's a good one that I had no, no idea.

Yeah, would Dame Lillard Would Dame Lillard's career be better looked at if he just stayed on? The Blazers? Never won anything, maybe won a couple of big playoff series and like the first round based on buzzer beaters. Uh, but never really got close to sniffing a championship, but was always like the dude on those blazers. Or would it be better if he went to a team that was like the second or third best option? And then they ended up getting to an N.B.A. finals and losing? I would say that his. I like a guy that just kind of has to deal with playing on a shit team for his entire career, but absolutely dominates when he has to.

Yeah, the only problem is it's Portland. Like, if if you do like a shit team and you and you dominate and you're a fan like hero. You'd want it to be a little bit of a bigger market than than just Portland. You know what I mean?

Yeah, but he would be like the best Portland trailblazer ever. Yeah, Clyde Drexler, and then him.

Yeah.

Rashid Damon Stoudemire, Scottie Pippen, The Jail Blazers.

Um, yeah, I just the only thing the only comment I have is when he does end up getting traded. I'm just going to be like, what a turncoat, no loyalty and just do that and just go go on that angle. So I'm just out on the entire storyline as it stands.

Yeah, yeah, NBA free agency has like, a, uh, like, a 48 hour window to grab my attention. Yeah, and outside of that, I'm like, What is Woj doing?

It's coming up all right, uh, before we get to our M.L.B hot takes and storylines. Big announcement. Body armor You've seen it all all around Barcelona Sports. But we are making our, uh, sponsorship with body armor, our deal with body armor, even more official. We're taking it to the next level.

It's really good. Their their water also is just it's the coldest water. yeah, somehow they get their water underneath 32 degrees. I don't understand how it's done, but I slam one of those.

Strawberry banana is so good, it's it's like a smoothie, but it's not a smoothie, but it tastes like a smoothie, that's how good it is. So body armor. we love body armor. body armor will be everywhere. Thank you to Body Armor for believing in us, for believing in our vision.

Yeah, yeah, I got a couple of things. Um, I won't, I'll just say, Can I do two?

You could do two, and if you steal two of mine, I'm gonna be very mad.

All right, the Mets fucking suck.

Okay, that wasn't one of mine.

Point number one The Mets are garbage. They, uh, they had one ending against the Phillies, where they walked three batters, hit two Phillies and they just had they gave up one hit. But 10 batters got to the plate in a four run eighth inning. And then, Uh, and then Buck Showalter. Afterwards, he was feeling all time pissy about everything and they asked him who's going to start on Tuesday.

STEVE COHEN I thought I thought Uncle Stevie was going to, was going to fix the Mets in a season. Uh, memes would you like to? would you like to address this at all? You are a Mets fan?

Yeah, well, said.

Well, said, there you go.

I'm going to use that line from Buck, by the way. When people ask me, like, what I'm doing this week? and I'm like, what, what? Why do you want to know that? Do you want to know when you're going to die?

What the fuck's your problem?

Yeah.

Uh, okay, your second one, that's a good one, my second.

I so, I. I just thought about this like 30 minutes ago, cause I was watching some baseball on TV. And I don't know how come. We've never noticed this or talked about it. How come there are no Black catchers in baseball?

Hmm, huh, okay.

I feel like I feel like there haven't. There hasn't been an African American catcher in major league baseball in forever. And white cornerbacks and white cornerbacks, good call. What's going on, Jason Sehorne?

Hmm.

Uh, I don't know, I don't cause, maybe maybe there's some deep seated issue that I'm not aware of about. I don't know if there's a a good Black baseball player. When he's a kid, they put him at a certain position, like it wasn't in football for the longest time. I don't know what it is, but it seems to me like Black people, like, there's no reason why there shouldn't be more Black catchers.

Yeah, there's, I just looked it up and it. There's a few articles that are saying, Why are there no Black catchers? from baseball perspectives? uh, where are the African American catchers? MLB from the Richmond Free Press from 2020. Like this, yeah, that's. I hadn't thought about it, but now I am.

Like how we were advocating for a white American basketball player to be drafted, which we got our wish with. Grady Dick Right, yeah.

Um, well, no, not not going one overall. What's that? what's our guy's name? Uh, for Maine?

Oh yeah, that guy, he's also got a fun name.

Fuck Cooper flag

Yeah, Cooper Flag, he's. yeah, he's the next next up.

My brain is firing right now.

So now that we got, now that we got Cooper Flag looking like he, he will definitely be the number one overall pick in the N.B.A. draft. We've got to find, we've got to get some Black catchers in baseball.

Yeah, okay, all right, that's something that we got to think about.

Uh, Chris asked me about that, I didn't know what to say.

Yeah, you're like, Hey, you remember Roy Campanella? That wasn't too long ago? Yeah, 70 years ago.

Yeah, sure, I have, I have a couple.

They they just lost 12 game, two out of three, I think to the Braves, but they won 12 in a row. Ellie Dela Cruz is electric called up hit the hit for the cycle on Friday. And it is they have, like, one of the best, uh, farm systems in baseball. there's nothing quite like in baseball having that, like everything, come together, where the farm system all start. Like, you know, it's guy after guy after guy, and the momentum builds. And you can even see it in the Reds. Like in their stadium, like at the beginning of the year, there weren't a lot of fans.

Ellie Dela Cruz is next. It's like him and O'Neal Cruise. The two cruises are going to be the future of baseball cruise missiles coming for you.

And they started the season 20 and 28, and they're 41 and 37 now, so they went on a 21 and nine run. So they are, they are very hot and very electric.

It's also fun, yeah. A team that's under, you know, has low expectations, going on a run in the summer, that's, that's just baseball at its purest form.

It really is, it really is there. It's like, uh, the giants right now are also on like a crazy run where they've just been ripping off wins. And there's just there's nothing better than having that team like, start, you just get those young guys up when you get the young guys up.

Mike is trying to get a walk off dong into, uh, into McCovey Co. the other night, and that that a walk off dong into water is is all time. It's gotta be, gotta be the Giants or Pittsburgh, but if you can do it.

You know what, I love it when, uh, when the announcers talk about a team that's that's overperforming with a bunch of young guys. They don't know any better. Big cat, Yeah, they don't know that they're supposed to be bad.

There is just that that like, just true excitement about it, like, I even it's it's loser talk. But obviously the 2016 Cubs won it all, but the 2015 Cubs it might've been because I went to like 60 games. But there was something about, like, the guys all coming up at the same time. You just get that feeling like, holy shit.

Yeah, uh. And then my other note was I went to my first M.L.B. game of the year this year. Huge fan of the pitch clock was in and out of the stadium within three hours and there was a lot of.

Yeah.

What part?

I like being and walking out less than three hours later.

The The Hank, the White Sox have elite food and beverage.

Like I said, I was like, how can it be this good? and I was, I was wrong, it was that good.

They really do, they, they have elite food and beverage. It's just it's, it's when you go there, you're like, Holy shit.

That's a fuck, yeah. When Hank told me he was going to that game, I did the thing where I just looked up. Ballpark food from guaranteed great field and just swiped and swiped and swiped. It does look really, really good. There's a uh, onions everywhere.

Yeah, um, okay, good, all right, I have to. Uh, I have a third as well that I'll hold off if if no one else mentions it, uh. My first one is as of Saturday.

It's not Ellie Dela Cruz.

It's not Ellie Dela Cruz.

The Marlins.

Yes, fire, yes, he is, he was. He was hitting four, oh, one as of Saturday.

I would say, I would say five, three, three.

So batting averages doesn't happen like it used to. So, George Brett hit three 90 in 1980, Tony Gwynn hit three 94 in 1994 and Larry Walker hit three 79 in 1990. Those are the only three in the top 80, and Luis Arias is halfway through the season, hitting four, oh, one, three 99. Now it's, I mean, and he hits it everywhere.

Does he do a sprinkler celebration?

I don't know if he does that.

When he gets a single, yeah, just spray it around.

I was watching highlights that Marlins also have been wearing their throwbacks from, like the when they were a new franchise in the late Nineties. And those rock, those teal, those are great, great uniforms, but yeah.

Yeah.

Well, if he, if he ends up like, I mean, hitting 400 would be insane in this day and age.

The crazy thing is, he probably, I mean, he'll probably get a good contract based off that. I don't know where he's at right now with his terms. But it's not valued like it used to be at all. Like, Tony Gwynn was this fucking superstar, yeah. And when he hit three 94, I'm pretty sure that was a strike shortened season.

That's what I'm saying, like, he is going to be must watch TV if he keeps this up and even if he falls off a little. The highest batting average in this century is three 72, done three times. Uh, no more.

This is another thing that nerds have taken away from us. Nobody cares about batting 400 anymore, nobody cares about the mid range jumper, but it's always nice when it makes a little flare up.

Yes, um, all right. And then my other one was, Uh, both central divisions suck ass are so, so bad, so I was looking it up, Uh, the the cubs have been up and down.

It's the coastal elites. And the Angels are really good, that's another thing I want to tack on to. I'm going to count that as the same, uh, same take as the Mets being really bad, The Angels are really good.

Uh, Jake, what do you have? I'm having fun, we're talking baseball.

I want to, I want to piggyback on some of your guys. Notes. First off PFT's note about the Angels. They won 25 to one yesterday.

Yes.

Yes, over the Rockies 25 to one, that was insane second, second.

Sorry, our friend online, Ryan Spader, He, uh. He pointed out that the Rockies could have forfeited the game after like the third inning and it would have gone down. I think it's like a nine to nothing loss. And then all the other stats would not have counted from that game, all the extra runs that the Angels put up.

It's crazy.

It was 23 after four innings.

Yeah, yeah, it was nuts.

They could have done more second off. Mikael, you mentioned the Marlins teal, so they were that Friday night home games. I'm actually at my friend's apartment in Miami right now and look in the background.

That's wild.

That is wild.

That's truly wild, yeah.

Definitely, and, uh, my take. yeah, my take is a team that didn't make the playoffs last year is going to appear in the World Series. We have a lot of new blood. If you look at the standing of this year, uh, the Orioles are 18 games over 500, the Rangers are 47 and 30..

I like Dan Heron. Dan Heron is doing a hell of a job with the Diamondbacks this year. We got a good friend, yeah.

Yeah, I like that. Uh, okay, Billy, you got one last one.

Yeah, he's aren't doing too well.

Okay, there it is.

How's Aaron Judge doing? Is he okay?

Dude, he's hurt.

He's hurt.

Wish I knew that when we were drafting.

Wait, don't, don't, don't do any spoilers, that's okay.

What happened to Aaron?

Uh, he ran to a gate.

Yeah, hurt his toe.

Ran through a gate went too hard.

Yeah.

We've all been there, so what's wrong?

He's going to be back in a couple of weeks, right? It's just a just a toe.

It's unusual, apparently. That's what all the headlines say unusual injury.

Okay, an unusual injury.

He's got an unusual toe. Yeah, yeah.

Um, I had one last one, but it's, uh, it is, uh, I had one last one. And I I think we do it enough. I think we respect Shohei Ohtani enough, but we'll just throw it out there because he deserves all the respect in the world. He is, uh, right now, leading the M.L.B in five different UH batting categories. So he's leading is tied with Matt Olson for 25 home runs, He's leading in RBIS, total bases, slugging and OPs.

So I was, I was looking at some of the stats earlier. And it's not unfair to say that he is having the best baseball season in the history of baseball.

Yeah.

And he when you look, when you, when you break it down, he might be the best baseball player to ever step onto a diamond.

It's insane.

All the time.

What were you gonna say, Max?

He's also in a contract here, yeah, so he could get an a billion dollar contract. Like, I am so excited to see the number that he gets this off season.

He's he's going to be a met and he's going to get Tommy John surgery after a week.

Yeah, Frank was right. Uh, he, we need to remember just show hey, next time we have Whitney on. And he's like, Conor McDavid's the best player in any sport, by the way. Did you guys see Conor McDavid's also trying to change the rules? So he can maybe win a cup he wants? Which I actually liked.

How is he trying to do this? Well, he just he let players just change, change the dimensions of the playing surface.

He's not, like, actively trying to do it. There was just a clip when he was an interview and he said it would be really cool if that existed, and he's right, it would be very cool.

Yeah, I agree.

But it also would probably help him because he's amazing and dominant.

Well, he also likes to take a lot of time off the ice, so if you were stoppages in play, that's true. Probably just going to get gassed, he's going to get exposed, yeah.

Show Hey, though, absolute insane, insane season. Uh, I like this. I feel like we did a good job here.

Yeah, most of baseball is just saying players names, right, right?

And knowing what your team's doing and then being like, Uh, you know, when it gets to, when it gets to the playoffs, like, Oh shit, that team's having a really good season.

Yeah, the funnest parts about baseball are just saying different names of players. And then hearing Tim Kirch. And pop up once in a while and tell you about something that happened that has never happened in the history of the game, yeah.

I also my last take. I think they should change Interleague back to what it was and never have the mix. And maybe maybe do it when the first few seasons when they mixed. But it was like you would only play like, maybe, like, two weeks of Interleague, it's too much. That was fun when Interleague, like, first came about, I don't even know what year that was. It was cool to be like, Holy shit.

Yeah, when the with the DH rule it, it waters it down a little bit. Cause it was also awesome to see it. Like American League pitchers, having to step up to the plate and bat right, that was cool.

Right?

It should actually change that back for Interleague play. Yeah, and Hank's right. It should be in the summertime, maybe on like 4th of July weekend. It should not. I don't want to see Interleague play in mid April.

I mean, I liked the fact that in the World Series, you're like, we have no idea if the AL or the NL is better. Yeah, we'll find out now.

Yeah, is there anybody out there? That's, that's the Rob Lowe of the different leagues in baseball, like, it's just a diehard al Stan.

There probably are, yeah.

Well, be honest, when you were rooting, so growing up, watching TV, and I mean, you were a Cubs fan, I watched. I didn't have like a home team, so I watched the Cubs and the Braves. Growing up, I always felt like in the World Series. I was always rooting for the National League if it wasn't one of those two teams, because it's like, yeah, they're representing, they're carrying the banner for our league.

Yeah, and now it's just all mixed. Yeah, it's just all all mixed, yeah.

The Yankees would get up to to hit and they put like six warmup jackets on their pitcher. Because this person's never seen the inside of the batter's box, it might be super cold in there, who knows? So they just put like all the gear on him and he would just get up there. The bat was never leaving his shoulder.

Yes, exactly. So, uh, I don't think they'll ever change that, but that's just one dumb take from my brain. Uh, okay, good job everyone. Let's do Who's back?

My who's back the week? We just went through a bunch of mine. So I will use this time to ask my geopolitical expert friend William Football if is Putin back?

Dude, he had a hangover during.

Or is he, is he? No, I missed that.

Uh, let's just say six point. Two billion dollars went missing in the Pentagon and someone may have got paid out.

Oh, shit.

Oh, who got paid out?

Some dude in Wagner, Hunter, Biden.

No, it's a lot of crack. How much crack could you buy with six point? Two billion dollars?

All of it.

Enough crack to like march towards Moscow.

That's probably right, all of it, you could probably buy all the crack in the world, yeah.

No, it was a sign of the market, there was a sign up.

Okay.

So, Putin's Gucci?

Putin's Gucci? He just did that whole thing to, like, make Ukraine think they could take back Bakhmut and then they're going to do a pincer move on them.

And then the whole all nuclear issues, No, no concerns about the only nuclear issues.

Would be that Wagner took the nukes in the southern part of Russia, and, like Russia might nuke themselves, that's the only nuclear issue.

Wait, they took them.

Well, they'd like it.

But then they retreat.

Right, and then went back to Moscow to go like, take out Putin.

Tell me in PST, I would like to chime in, maybe, uh, no, no.

I just sat there being like, rooting for World War Three, by the way.

No, I'm not, No, I'm not.

It, it, it, everyone was sounding the alarm back on the front line.

Absolutely not.

But essentially, what it seemed like is, uh, the private army in Russia was like boys stripped to Moscow. Let's let's show everyone how strong we are. So they like, almost like they went outside the bar and flex real hard, and they're like, all right, that's what we thought.

So my theory was, my theory was similar, because it's Wagner who is the paramilitary group. They're like a contractor, kind of like what Blackwater was in the United States. And I think I think big cats onto something that they got hammered and they're like, you know what fuck this?

They did the same shit, really.

We really dug ourselves a hole here. Uh, can we just go home? yeah.

Do we want to run this whole country? I don't think so.

They've been adamant what they've been faking, infighting like, they're like they were, they've been faking.

So they're duping Ukraine.

Yeah, and they took bakhmut after, like pretending like, Putin's not giving us ammo, and they went, took bakhmut. And then now they're doing this and they're trying to like it.

So everyone on Twitter fell for it.

Yeah, it's, it's a side. Like the thing is, if you look at the tanks and stuff in Moscow, it was like, set up.

Got it?

But they didn't, they didn't say after Moscow, right?

No, they didn't. No, not a shot was fired. They were like, we're not spilling Russian blood. What's crazy is that you have Wagner, who's in a helicopter, get shot down.

Hey, I saw the pictures.

That's the thing, come on.

We can all make those pictures.

I can send you a picture of one right now.

It is it is funny to think that, like Putin, Putin is outsmarting everybody, like every, every high paid general in the world. But not Billy Football. Yeah, you can't pull over his eyes.

Billy also got lucky, cause Billy was hung over throughout the entire thing. And then woke up when it ended. And was like, Yeah, I'd never would have fallen for that.

Yeah, I was awake Friday night and I was like, Oh, damn, I might not wake up cause we're getting nuked.

Yeah.

And then I was like, we're good.

You were dancing with Zach Brian, you're telling me you wouldn't have fallen for this, this Psyop move.

No, absolutely no. The thing is, there's so much like the media manipulations and saying, well, I just I.

Just sat there watching the Russians do that.

That's that they convinced you that they were having a civil war.

Okay.

And there's my understanding, was that the head of Wagner, who is just like this fucking psycho, he was a chef.

Dude.

He was probably more dangerous than Putin. Yeah, he was a chef, he was like a caterer, but he's an absolute psycho. He was staying up for his boys, cause he's like, they're fucking my boys over too much.

No, I mean, the thing is like, if you look at the videos of them in, like, in the places close to Moscow, I think it's Rostov. Uh, there's. I don't think there was a single fire, like a single shot taken.

Like, there was no blood spilt. But would you have fallen for it if you were up, cause you did? You did admittedly wake up after it all ended, and you were able to be like, Yeah, of course, I wouldn't have fallen for that.

No, well, the thing is like, it's very. It's confusing as hell. I'm actually glad that I saw it after the fact, see all the videos and like, able to take into account it's confused.

Like, the real loser was, uh, our good friend Uncle Chaps, who researched it, uh, extensively, wrote a blog. And then the minute the blog got posted, they were like, Yeah, this is just a joke.

Yeah.

So he got screwed. It was, it was funny. I was just watching. I was sitting there on Twitter and it basically is like two types of tweets that go off in the in. Times like this is people being like, asking like, what's up with Russia, is this bad? And then just a bunch of people replying to that person. Cause they had just read something a minute ago, being like, Well, actually, this is what's happening.

You don't want, no one knows, but billy to your point of like, now they're doing a pincer operation. Um, do you think that the PsyOp would have been more effective if it had lasted longer than seven hours?

Yeah, but the thing is, they were able to move troops under the guise that they're doing a coop. And now Ukraine thought they were going to Moscow, but now they're just north.

There are such things as bloodless coups, though, like every, every troop in Russia is basically fighting on the western front in Ukraine.

I mean, the whole situation is terrible, the whole situation is terrible.

I mean, do you still stand with Ukraine?

Dude, I just don't want anyone to die.

Yeah.

Facts.

Cause we got John Hutton over here.

I like this. The chief of Wagner's is just a hilariously evil looking dude.

Well, it's neo-nazi, yeah.

Well, Wagner, Wagner.

He looks like Mike Ehrmantraut from Breaking Bad.

It's named after Hitler's favorite artist.

Yeah.

Like, it's fucked up.

I googled him and I'm like, Does this guy have what it takes to take down Putin? And then I saw a picture. I was like, Yep, nope, that guy's looks more evil than Putin.

He might be, that's the thing is like, if this guy does take out Putin, I don't know that that would be an upgrade.

Also, are you a real Hitler fan? If you name your private military group after Hitler's favorite artist? cause, shouldn't Hitler be your favorite artist? And you name it your private military group, Hitler?

Composer, composer.

Oh, composer, composer.

Basically, Hitler loved this Wagner guy because it was it was like a great playlist for when his tanks were advancing. Like you hand Hitler the Ox cord. He's putting on ride of the Valkyries and it's like, Oh yeah, we're going to stay up for 14 days and just drive through France. This rocks.

Got it, and that's what this guy's trying to do. Not doesn't seem like a cool dude, I'm going to say, decidedly unchill.

Well, yeah, disavow, I'm out on Wagner.

The other two.

I thought we were bros.

Not the not the college in, uh, is it Connecticut or Staten Island?

Staten Island, Staten Island.

Yeah, not them. That's where Danny Hurley started.

I'm out, I'm out on Wagner, the security apparatus, that's that's how, but also, yeah, also I'm with Billy. I don't want anybody to die.

The other take was that the Pentagon paid Wagner to fight against Russia. Because, you know, they're a they're a four higher mercenary group, so whoever's the highest bidder gets their stuff.

We're teaching people a lot of shit. This, actually, though, it just shows how stupid my brain is, and uh, how sports run, everything. It's just like little monkeys running around my brain, just shooting hoops and like playing football. Because I just kept on seeing Wagner and I was like, Oh yeah, I remember when Danny Hurley and Bobby Hurley were on the bench there, like, these guys are trying to take over.

It all circles back to, I think that Putin should just he should just give. What he probably did was he gave this, uh, the head of Wagner, an ice cold pepsi like Kendall Jenner. And he was like, You know what? Yeah, you're right. By the way, it'd be way chiller if we just brought out.

Wagner tried to take an oil field in Syria. And they got the full brunt of the U s, like U. s. military apparatus, and they got lit up.

They ain't shit.

They can't fucking, they played nobody, Wagner ain't played nobody.

It was sick. We saw a couple of F 18s at them. Cluster bomb.

Fucking lit.

Wagner.

If you're listening to this, uh, I'm not moving out of New York until late July. But Billy, the person who just said that, is the only one staying in New York in Manhattan. WAGNER Uh, he's going to be here. He's the one who called you out as a fraud.

Do I just tell Wagner to their face that they're not good?

Who's back?

Uh, my who's back in the week is Whoa just saying, just whoa? Getting woes from people? Because? Aaron Rogers spoke at a psychedelic conference last week out in Colorado, and he dropped an all time Whoa on the audience. That really makes you think, he said. You know, words are so interesting.

Whoa, whoa.

Whoa, whoa, think about it. Have you ever thought about that? Why they call it spelling?

Whoa?

Whoa?

How can you do that with any word like why? the word kitchen? like who decides that you can call a kitchen?

Yeah, but right now you're Jake, you're casting a spell on all of us because you're using words.

Dude like, we're all lettered, and civilization is just a story.

It's crazy when I think about it.

Yeah, whoa.

Yeah, the word, you know, the word playoffs, has layoffs right in it, so low key. It inspires me to go home every year.

Whoa, whoa, chill, like you're retired, of course, like whoa.

Yeah, whoa, whoa.

Um, all right, that's good. Who's back? We're getting deep on the show. uh, my, who's back is, uh, Steven F. Austin bowling.

They're back.

They're back.

Well, they're back in the news.

So they've gotten really good, I guess, at bowling. Um, the women's bowling team might add. Uh, but they just lost their assistant coach. Uh, for his name is, let's see what was his name.

Uh, doesn't matter.

No, Steve Lemke was his name.

He got, uh, fired.

He's assistant coach for Steven F. Austin women's bowling. For, uh, having a consensual sexual relationship with one of the players. uh. Only issue is the head coach of Steven F. Austin bowling is his wife.

So yeah.

Yeah, not great.

But to be fair, she was kind of asking for her husband to cheat on her because she was basically asking him to help coach the team and left her around the players. So often that something was going to happen, I read this guy's quotes, this guy's next level delusion about everything.

Yeah, I have it right here, he said. Uh, I w. I was the stay at home dad for five years with the kids. While Amber got to go off and coach the team. And then she'd get back, I'd run practices on top of taking care of the kids while she was back.

Yeah, so listen, he was a stay at home dad. He basically had to fuck one of his players.

It's it's bullshit, so he got his bullshit, it's complete bullshit. Um, uh, my other who's back is Bob Barker, not dead. So he trended, I don't know why all day, but that one, I'm just I'm fearful every time I see him trending. And also, uh, weightlifting.

He's a D, I mean, he's 70 years old.

It was one pound.

We don't know, we don't know.

Nine pushups incline.

Incline.

Listen, you put them up against Biden or Trump. He looks like the strongest man in the world.

Look, there's a very low bar.

That's what I'm saying, that's exactly what I'm saying. So he, he just decided to just drop, like some sick tapes all weekend.

Yeah, he's got to be on TRT, right?

I don't know he's sober.

The pushups are tough.

Look at his, look at his nipples. Billy, can you give us a breakdown right now of RFK Jr's nipples?

I don't have it in front of me, I don't know where to find those.

Okay.

He does, he might have some, you know, HRT.

I feel like Billy's already checked.

Yeah.

Listen, RFK Jr. is not the kind of guy that would inject something into his body if he didn't know what was in it, right? Billy, That's a fact.

Yeah, but t's different.

I also liked that RFK Jr. That pushups, those pushups were tough, and then you had people defending him, being like, what was after a full chest workout?

Dude, when you gas out, when you gas out.

Like, you gas out, I understand, but not.

Yeah.

I've gassed out before. That's like a political one-on-one. You can't go down and start doing shirtless pushups unless you can at least get 20..

He's gassing out, dude, dude's built, bro, he's built bigger than any of us.

There's a couple of rules if you're campaigning, you should one never shoot a basketball.

Yup.

Two, you should never eat a corn dog because the photo shops, and then three, if you're doing pushups, it should be your first set of pushups that you do.

Yes, and four never get in a tank.

Yeah, never get in a tank and put on a funny looking helmet, yeah.

Those are, yeah, it's actually. There is a rule like, like presidents, abide but never put anything on your head because you'll look stupid as fuck.

You're going to look dumb and then just the meme possibility. Yeah, oh, and don't get on an airplane to Little St. James Island.

Yes.

I don't need present one day.

Okay.

That's me sick.

Probably yeah.

Just you guys wait.

There aren't tapes that we can release that will stop that.

No, no, they actually might help me.

Yeah, actually. No, you're right, they would help you.

Yeah, there was a there was one quote that RFK Jr. had today when they asked him about, like, being president. And he said that he would inspire millions of Americans to take their health more seriously. Because he's in such good shape, yeah.

I still don't understand the jeans working out in jeans.

He's got small calves cycle.

Yeah.

I was going to say, he's probably got, he's got skinny legs, small quads.
