Johnny Cash died in. I'm going to say 2012. Yeah, I'd go maybe a little later, but right era. 2014, I would guess. You think it's around there? Yeah. Evo. It was pre-Pokemon Go. Oh, yeah, he died before the movie. Wait, really? Yeah, 2013. He's been dead that long? How about that? It's a long time. Well, his legacy has endured. I'll say that much. Yeah.

Is that what it was? I got a fake Eddie Murray birthday Happy 80th birthday Eddie Murray Oh, no, it was like whatever his age Did you see that one though? It was just Eddie Murphy Oh, I didn't see that That's funny Yes I think his birthday was two days ago Eddie Murray Can you do a donkey voice? I can still say happy Yeah Do you do an impression of Donkey from Shrek? Yeah, but you guys got to throw out a bunch of different names first. You got to be like, Shrek, Fiona, buh, buh. Shrek, Fiona, donkey. No, I can't do it. Shit. It's like that scene. That wasn't too bad. No, no, but there's a scene in Shrek 2 where they're at the dinner table and the chicken goes up flying in the air. And it's Harold, Shrek, Fiona, Donkey. I love that scene. You've seen a superfly. You've seen something fly. You ever seen a donkey fly? You remember that part in the original Shrek? No. Okay. Great documentary, Eddie Murphy. Take! Eddie Murphy, Doc, by the way. Is that a wreck? That's a wreck. It's an official wreck from Brent Walker to me that I'm now trickling down to the couch. Oh, thank you. This is trickle-down wreckonomics. That's a thing. Yeah, that could work. Yeah, it's a good documentary. Eddie Murphy was a level of fame. I don't think we have anymore. The 80s, we had like five people reach that level of fame. Michael Jackson reached it. Eddie Murphy reached it. Michael Jordan reached it. Mike Tyson reached it. Now I just don't even know if we have that level of fame anymore. Because that level of fame, like LeBron got it, but people hate him. Yeah. Back then, everybody across the board loved him. You had to. You had to. You get swept up in loving somebody. How could you not? Yeah. I wonder when we lost that level of fame where it was just almost 100% adulation. Yeah. I don't know. Was there a white boy in the 80s, a cold-ass white boy in the 80s that was doing it? Oh, Larry Bird, but he didn't get as famous as Michael Jordan. Larry Bird. So he was the, you know, but like as far as fame goes, and Jordan got his at the very end of the 80s. Who was like the white boy with a little motion, is that what they say? Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the 80s and pop culture. Maybe Tom Cruise was becoming a thing. Really? Yeah, Tom Cruise was. Tom Cruise was popping off like that? He was, he went Top Gun cocktail. He was getting there. The big hair boys. Your hair medals. Your Bon Jovies, your Guns N' Roses. I don't know if a cold-ass white boy reached those levels. Joe Montana was the most famous quarterback. Baseball, I don't think, had one. It's a great question. It is. I think of the 80 celebrities, the top at least five are black. No question. Mike Tyson, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Prince, Bill Cosby. Magic Johnson. Yeah. It was a very black decade. It was a better decade. It was a better decade. Also, one more happy birthday to Mark DeRosa, Team USA manager. No shit. He's the manager? Mm-hmm. Former Brave great? Former Cub great. Mm-hmm. Former Cub and Brave great? Former National great? Former Utility man, Mark DeRosa. Yeah, did a little bit of everything. Did it all. You need something done, he'll do it. Is the utility man label still in baseball, or is it shed? Who's our top utility man right now in baseball? That's a great question, bro. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I love a utility man. Switching in utility man is my favorite player. Jose Aquindo, to me, the GOAT utility man. Although DeRosa was a good one. Ben Zobrist. Ben Zobrist, good utility man. If you switch positions a lot in the bedroom, they should call you a utility man, right? Wow. Yes. I've never thought about that, but Johnny Sins is probably one of the best utility men in there. All right, Evo. All right. This is Evo. We're trying to talk ball. Yeah. And you're sitting there. Sorry, Lucas. Who's the utility man today? There's got to be. I know the chat's going crazy with the utility man right now. Yeah, utility man. Fucking motherfucking. Fucking. Tommy Edmond. Tommy Edmond, utility man. Anthony Sigler. Dalton Varshow's interesting because they just had him playing catcher, and he's like the best defensive outfielder ever. Josh Smith plays baseball now? Yeah, he switched. He's like J.R. Smith who switched to golf. Josh Smith went to baseball. How about that? Jose Caballero? Are you still doing birthdays or are you just saying? Right. He's a utility guy. Okay. Do greatest utility man baseball of all time. I want to see who comes up. Yeah, who do you think of when you think of? I think of Jose Oquendo. He played all nine positions. He played all nine positions. He's one of those guys. He's played all nine positions. Yeah, that's about his. You can't get more utility than that. Eric Bruntlett. Vince Obris, there you go. Vince Obris is the one that comes to mind for me. On assist to triple play. Yes. Chris Taylor has played a lot of spots. Tony Phillips, Jose Aquindo. Yeah, there you go. He played all nine positions in one season. That's fucking crazy. Jackie Robinson? Yeah, they've moved him around a lot. Chris Taylor, Tony Phillips. I didn't realize Tony Phillips was a utility guy. Who's our utility guy? Is it Connor? Connor plays the star. He plays the idiot. He can sit in your chair or my chair. He can sit in that chair. I actually think there's only one person in 2025 that sat in all five chairs, and I think it was you, Mark. That is true. You sat here for the – I would like to point out there's six chairs in here, and I've never seen Mark sit in that one. No, I did. Yes, he has. Yeah, huh, when I had my baby and you and T-Bob. Yeah, huh. Yeah, huh. He has said in every show. Yeah, you and T-Bob were doing the show. That's right. You're right. And I popped in. Yeah, okay. And you produced. And I said I'm about halfway through the Donkey Kong game. Let me finish it and I'll come back to work. Have you played Brandon? Have I what? Have you played Brandon's position? Oh. No, I don't think you have. Yeah, you have. Yes, I have. Have you? I have. You've done an impression. I did an impression of Brandon. I've never played that position or that position. I've never produced and will never produce. That's beneath me. You want me to sit in a seat occupied by Lucas? Yeah, that's true. Okay. All right. Good luck, guys. Yeah. Lucas, we need to talk. What's up? First of all, hello. Hello. Welcome. Thank you for being here. Of course. We always, me and Mark, we text often. We always look forward to the days that you're here with Glee. That's just not true. Mark, okay. Sorry. Sorry that the guys like your presence. Sorry. Did you see Mark got here early today? so we could talk to you? So I could talk to you. Yeah, Brandon and I have a side group chat with just the two of us. And Mark definitely didn't text me last night, God damn it, I'm probably out sick tomorrow. And I said, why? And he said, Lucas. But he's here. Yeah. I appreciate that. Lucas, today it is an exciting day at Barstool Sports because it is our thrice annual combine. That's right. Our combine is happening today. We never do it. and we've got the whole basketball court right now covered in combine stuff. You can't lift 135 pounds. Yeah, and I shouldn't be expected to. Yeah, for those who missed the first 12 seasons of the Barstool Combine. I don't want to spoil in case anybody wants to binge before tonight, but last year the big story – well, there's two big stories. it would have been that the guy who won the combine fell over while running the 40-yard dash. That should have been the story of the combine. Big Cat in the 40-yard dash just tripped over his own feet, still somehow won the event. But the real big story was that Tate couldn't do 135. And the trickle down from that... And by do 135, you mean he couldn't bench press 135 pounds? One rep. One rep. We're not asking for... I'm not the strongest man in the world. I don't pretend that I can wow you with my ability to bench press, but it's 135 pounds. Of course I could do at least one rep. Tate couldn't do one rep. And that has become the focal point of this year's Combine, is will Tate be able to do 135? But also, Brandon, are there other people that can't do 135? That's right. And we found out self-admittedly this morning from Lucas that he believes, not only believes he can't do it, believes he shouldn't be expected to do it because he only weighs 155 pounds. to which I say that's hogwash. That is malarkey. You're a grown man. You should be able to lift 135 pounds. Look at me. I'm a bag of pudding. I'm awful. I'm mashed potatoes. Absolutely. I can go out there and rip 20 right now. Not going to do it, but I could. So, Lucas, believe in yourself. It has nothing to do with that. It's just a numbers game. The number is one. You just need to do one. I don't go to the gym. Lucas, how much do you weigh? I weigh 155, 160. Okay, hang on. 160. All right, Ivo, how much do you weigh? About 185. You should have said 160. That would have helped the point a lot. Would you like to know how much I could bench when I was 150? Yes. I could bench 200 pounds. Right. Now, Lucas, one of your deflection tactics this morning, and we haven't talked about it previously, was you said you're not alone in this, right? Yeah, I believe there's other people in the office that can't bench 135. Do you believe there's other people in this room right now that can't do it? I'm not sure. See. Lucas, goddammit, we had a pre-show meeting, and you told us Connor Griffin can't do it either. That's what you said. You did say that, Lucas. That's what you said. You said save it for the show. Let's not talk about it now. Wait until the show starts, and then ambush Connor by saying we know you can't bench 135. There, there. See. You can't do it? We'll see. I don't bench. That doesn't matter. It's pushing. Oh, wait. Correct, but it does come down. It's not rocket surgery, okay? I was doing it. We have a Smith machine out there. Sure. That is controlled. How many can you do on a Smith machine? Three rack. How much? I was doing, well, 135. I was doing five or six. That's not 135, by the way, because the bar's not 45. Correct. So if I were to do it on the actual old school, because we're using just the old school, just Just a bench, bar, somebody spotting. I don't know. Because that's form. That's everything. We'll see. Can I give you some tips? I don't bench. Can I give you some tips? Yeah. Arch the back. Everyone knows this. Mark, you were a powerlifter back in your days in college. Arch the back. You got to go out at some point today and buy straps. You got to get wrist straps. I might have to. You have to get wrist straps. Are you still talking about bench arch the back? Yes. Get straps on? Yes. Pin your butt to the bench. Okay. Yeah. And drive through your heels. Yeah. Drive through the heels. Sounds like he's getting fucked. Yeah, it does. It does kind of sound like that. But, yeah, no, we'll see. I just, yeah, will I crack under the pressure? I don't know. How do you feel about Lucas throwing you under the bus like this? That's fine. It's Lucas. I do feel like Tate had the reverse effect of Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile where then suddenly, like, everybody could break a four-minute mile. Yeah. That no one in this office even knew it was possible that a grown man couldn't do 135. And then Tate couldn't do it. And now all of a sudden you've got a lot of people that are just like, oh, fuck. Could I not do it maybe? It's like you see one ant on top of the ant bed and you step on it and all of a sudden the ants are everywhere. Yes. That's what is happening right now. People are panicking like crazy. Yeah, and I will say, I went over there yesterday once they had laid down the actual bench press that we're going to be using today and I was assessing the situation and I was with some other very muscular people and they were like, no, I don't even want to try it. People are paranoid in this office. What do you mean very muscular? Blake? Blake doesn't even want to try 135. Blake could do it. I know he could do it. But he's like, I don't even want to touch it. He could shoulder press 135. Listen, I know. But yeah, when people go to the gym, I don't think they're bench pressing. I know I get anxiety. I get anxiety going to ask somebody for a bench. You keep saying that. What do you do at the gym? What do you do at the gym? I'll do like an incline press. I don't bench press at the gym. I just walk on the treadmill. All you do is push it off of your chest. I know, but sometimes the form can get in the way. If I'm not driving through my heels, if I'm not getting fucked in the ass. If we were asking you to do 15 reps, sure. Yeah, we're just asking you to do one rep. Yeah. It's like a survival thing. That's laying something on our chest and saying, can you push it off of your chest? We'll do one. Oh, my God. There's something primal about you go to the gym. You put a, I don't know, disturbing or like a frightening amount of weight in the bar. You're like, all right, I'm just going to do this. And then your primal instinct takes over and you get it up. Sure. Yeah, and I hope the primals kick in today. But I'm not doing that at the gym. I don't do that. How much do you weigh? I don't do that at the gym. Not everybody that can bench 135 goes to the gym five times a week and just fucking grinds out bench press sets, dude. We'll see. I have a beach volleyball build that's very different. You don't. You don't. It's a very different build. You do not have a beach volleyball build. To answer your question, I weigh 160. You have a bowling build. I'm telling you this right now, Connor. If you can't do 135, you're off the show until you can do it. Okay, that's fine. It's not that common of a thing to be able to do. If you don't bench press, that's just... Pull up what percentage of the American men over 21 years. We're all men. We can make babies. We can start fires. And we can lift 135. How much do you weigh? Me? Yeah. Huh? How much do you weigh? 275. That's why you can bench 135, because you lift that up out of bed every day. Double that, even. I don't discount your theory that my mass helps me lift the weight. That's my argument here. Yeah, but we argue back. We're not asking you to do 15 reps. We're asking you to do one, dude. That doesn't matter. Yeah, it does. How many push-ups can you do, Lucas? I could do 10 to 20. If you can do 20 push-ups, you can lift 135, no problem. But that's not 135. No, it's not. But the 18th, 19th, and 20th rep are. They feel like it. This is what Lucas does. This is what Lucas does. We're getting Lucas. We're getting Lucas. You know what? I welcome getting Lucas, to be honest. We're getting Lucas. Think about this, guys. What percentage of the world can lift approximately 50% of men are capable of bench pressing? Yeah, because there's a lot of old men. There's a lot of... Yes, that includes all the 90-year-old men. And also like the 12-year-olds. Yes. So... 12-year-old men and 90-year-old men. How many 18 to 34-year-old men cannot bench press? How many 24-year... You said you were 24, right? Yes. You're 24? Yeah. I thought you were like 36. I did too. I thought you were way older. Yeah. There's got to be a push-up calculator. How do you – let me try to – You see, when you get to a certain point of fatigue in a push-up and you keep going, that shows me some inherent strength right there, right? How many – 135. How many kilograms do you weigh? How many kgs? I found a calculator. How many Kevin Garnett's? I don't know. Fuck. Okay, hang on. Let me do this. 155 pounds? Mm-hmm. Pounds. That's 72.5 kilograms. Okay. 72.5. What? What? 155 is 72? Oh, sorry. I thought you said 160. 70.3. 70.3. Okay, so we'll type in 70. 70 kilograms. And how many push-ups do you think you can do? I could do, call it 15. 15. Calculate. Yeah. In sports, winning takes more than talent. It takes strength, reliability, and the drive to go the distance. Sound familiar? That's the same DNA you'll find in a Chevy Silverado. As capable and dependable as a winning team, Chevy Silverado shows up and gets the job done. It won't flinch when the pressure's on. It doesn't take plays off. When it comes to trucks, Chevy Silverado is football guy approved. To learn more about Silverado, visit Chevy.com. You should be able to bench press 67 kilograms for one rep. And what's that? Which is, of course, 147. 147. So what do you think about that? What do you think about that, huh? What do you think about that? And that's according to pushuptobenchpress.io. Say .io. And I'll ask you or I'll tell you Barstool fans right now, you're watching this, and there are many great shows here at Barstool. There's Wake Up Barstool that you were just on. There's Mostly Sports. There's The Yak, probably a couple of others. But our big night show that we do every, what now, every six weeks, the big night show, what do you call it, Good Night Barstool? Yeah, it's funny. Good Night Barstool. So the star and the producer, neither can bench. Stop calling him a star. Another one can do 135. 135. Yeah, the rail-thin assistant producer, Ryan, on that show? Yes. He weighs less than you. Yes. I don't know if that's true. Ryan is 6'3", weighs 112 pounds. Is Ryan here today? I think so. Go get Ryan. Go get Ryan. Go get Ryan. He's the only saving grace on Good Night Bar Show. Ryan is ripped. Ryan is ripped but he he's tiny he's a skinny man he's real thin and Lucas' whole stance that he doesn't you have to weigh a certain amount of weight to be able to do this is insane I don't weigh a certain amount of weight and I also don't go to the gym Ryan even if he weighs less than me he goes to the gym probably six times a week that matters too you acting like it doesn't matter is crazy who carries the groceries into your apartment. What happens then? T-Bob! Come here. I'm just going to emasculate you. Sit down real quick. I hope it's better than that Danny Connell's bullshit ranking. Top 10 quarterbacks fun combo. Are you doing the combine today? I'm reffing the combine. You're reffing the combine? Our tank is reffing the combine? Is this too low? How do you get out of it? Your crotch is... I don't know. You have an immaculate crotch. Did you do the combine last year? I went here last year. How did – that's the – time out. Time out. Time out. What? The whole fucking point of a combine, the NFL combine, is to get the new people to see what they're made of. Yeah, because they don't make Josh Allen do the combine. Josh Allen's not doing the NFL combine. Right. You don't make the old heads that we've seen that have been in the league for a while do the combine. The only intrigue is like, you know what, we've seen you play football. Now we're going to see what you can do with running the 40-yard deck. The rookie classes that have passed have already done theirs. Why are you not doing it is what I'm saying. Why do they make like – it's not even about me. I'm just like, what intrigue is there to see Big Cat run a 40-yard dash? Yeah. He's done it 10,000 times. And yet you have T-Bob. I'd watch you do it. Who actually could bench press 135, 6,000 reps. With my shoulder, I think I could probably get like 30, unfortunately. If I was healthy, I think if my shoulder didn't need a full replacement, I could do a million. Okay. My question to you is – But I could run pretty fast. Lucas right there is 155 pounds. He doesn't believe he should be expected to be able to lift 135 one time. Thoughts? I also don't go to the gym. Okay, so I'm a bit of two minds because you look at somebody like Tate. He has the body type. I didn't want an essay here, T-Bob. He has the body type where Tate should clearly be able to do it. Yes. Lucas is on the edge of a body type where maybe it's acceptable. My only problem is it's like Is it unfair for me to say that at Lucas Because if I weigh 280 And I can but like You're basically asking Lucas to bench his body weight Right who here in this room can bench his body weight Ryan Well it's like 30 pounds less than your body weight First of all What did you say you were Like 155 160 So Brandon you gotta do like 320 And Mark you gotta do Ryan, what do you weigh? 151. 151. Can you lift 135? I don't know. Maybe. I don't. It's antithetical to the point we're trying to make here. This is devastating for our argument. I don't do a full-on bench bar. But you work out. Yeah. Then you should be able to. You're ripped. You'll be able to get. Yeah, you have a good frame. Most likely, yeah. You have a good frame. I'll do like 30 push-ups and then plants in between and all that good jazz. Yeah. So you'll be fine. Are you doing the combine? Huh? Are you doing the combine? He's probably producing. Replay. Yeah. Who is doing the combine? Everybody's got a position that's not. You're superstars, dude. This is a different type of combine. I'm not telling. I'm doing my first combine today. Are you? Yeah. So, Ivo, you should, if we're doing the bodyweight thing, you should bench like 75 pounds. Ivo's just throwing bars. That's crazy. People forgot you used to feel a red tooth. I feel very confident, Brandon. You know why? Why? Reuben Bain, he's pretty badass, right? Yeah. Guess how big his hands are. Tiny hands? Nine inches. Well, people were concerned he wasn't going to measure well at the combine. Nine inch king baby We grow stronger every day Nine and eighth but we allow nine and a quarter under in the club You just going to hold on to your cock the whole time I terrified I don like how this is A lot of cock shame going on This is so this is such a load Who's out there right now? Jay. Jay's pretty strong. Look how easy Jay's doing it. Jay's strong, though. His grip's a little narrow. Connor, go knock one out, man. No, I'm not doing it. It's a warm-up ride. Ryan, you want to knock one out since you're not doing it tonight? Does anybody want, do you want some technique coaching? I can coach you up on the bench. Go knock one out, Ryan. Do we have the office wheel? Spin the office wheel and a random tribute has to go back. You think you're on the yak? This is what I'm saying. If Tate hadn't failed at 135 last year, Ryan would be like, 100% I can do 135. And he'd go out there and he'd do 10 reps, Brandon. Now everybody is. But it's been put in everybody's brain that you might look like Tate if you do it. And it's just had a devastating effect around the office. Ryan, you can do 135. You can't. Lucas, you can't do that. Yeah, Lucas, you can't do that, dude. You're not after what you just said. No, no, no. I'm not saying it like a Ryan. I'm saying, dude, of course you can do it. I probably could, but when I work out, I do dumbbells. But you do work out. If you work out, you can do 135, I believe. More than likely, because usually when I do dumbbells on a flat bench, I'll do 50, 60 on each arm. Oh, easy. You got 135. Wait, you'll do 50 and 50? Yeah. Dumbbells. You're going to crawl with dumbbells? I just don't do bench pressing when I work. Yeah, you'll crush it. Yeah. And you do it for multiple reps, I assume. But he just said he can do it, Connor. Maybe. When you use the dumbbells, you're doing – Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You're repping it out. I try and match out as much as I can. Oh, Ryan, you're going to be a star today, even though you're not even doing it. Yeah. All right, thank you, Ryan. But you could go do it right now if you wanted to. Yeah, if you want to. I don't want to interrupt the show. We just asked you to do it as part of the show. All right, you don't have to do it, Ryan. It's fine. You don't have to do it. I appreciate it. Bench press is a lot of technique. That was an acceptable answer. Lucas, are you able to watch that camera? Yes. So every time somebody just with curiosity walks up to that bench during the show, you can just cut in to it? Yeah. Okay. Should we put out like a call to the office that anybody that's not doing the combine tonight that would like to put on record that they can do 135? Go do it right now. Do it right now. We'll show it on this show, if nothing else. T-Bob, your cock's not that bad. Is it not? No. I'm calling out. I don't know if I said it all. Look how thick my fucking thigh looks right there. Yeah, you're a thick boy. Jesus. You're a thick boy. Thank God you're not doing the Combine. Thank God we're just going to watch Evo and Connor do it. But you're not doing the Combine? I'm the ref. Oh, okay. I'm going to explain the events. Cool. Combine ref. Well-known position in National Football League. Yeah, exactly. And I assume, like, Kadek's just not here today. He had, like, a dentist appointment or something. I think he's doing it this year. Is he? Because he didn't do it last year, so I think they wanted to get Kadek. He reffed last year, I believe. I will also say. So when we're looking around for the ref, when we're staffing this thing, we say, well, who's 6'4", 275, and has D1 athletic blood? And they're like, oh, that would be the ref. Let's make them ref. Let's have Connor. No, it's weird. We are, the past two events we've done physically, like the flag football and now this, I think we're running out of people who are capable of doing this. There's an older crop of people who work here, They're either they don't want to do it or they've just aged out of it. Dude, if you work here, you need to be able to do these things. I don't mind doing it. I don't mind doing it. I just don't think it's intriguing to watch. I'm telling you right now, my numbers are going to be about what they were last year. There's not going to be any surprise. There's not going to be any surprise. That means you still got it. You're a dad now, but you still got it. We all want to still have it. I just don't know how that's entertaining to the viewer. What would be entertaining to the viewer is T-Bob getting underneath a bench press bar. They're just rocking it, just going. Speaking of which, I've got to go run through the drills right now. All right. Why do we need a pre-show meeting for the combine? We do it every six weeks. I don't know. Look, I've never done it before. So I've got to get a feel for this thing. All right, get the fuck out of here. Hey, have you done your top ten returning quarterback list yet? No. Okay. I think I'm going to do something different this year. I learned my lesson last year because I had a very reasonable returning quarterbacks list. It had Clubnick on it. Aller had all these. And I think nine of the ten quarterbacks fucking sucked. Yeah, me too. Nussmeyer, all of them. So, like, I think I'm going to put out 50 quarterback lists this year. And I'm going to cover every single eventuality. That's why he's a GOAT. Love y'all boys. All right. Bye, T-Bub. Nussmeyer almost won the Heisman week two? Week one. Week one. Yeah. That was pretty good, yeah. August Heisman. Has there ever been an August Heisman? I think there's one every year. I think whoever plays. John Mateer. We talked about this. Like John Mateer with the September Heisman? Yeah. Yeah, well, that's what I'm saying. September Heisman. But like – Week zero, though, always has – They're pushing the week zero all the way back. You know, like the schedule's getting pushed into August now. Get someone to win the August Heisman. How about that? We need it. Yeah. How about that? How about that? How about – go ahead. What do you want to talk about? Okay, what I want to talk about, and this isn't a – I don't want to get into the political fallout of it at all, But the returning U.S. hockey team last night, I found it very interesting. I wanted to watch a hockey game because I'm just in a hockey mood. So I said tonight, you know, Monday night I focused on the NBA game. Tuesday night I focused on the NBA game. Last night I said I'm going to focus on the hockey game. So I pull up Devils and Sabres. Now the Devils have Jack Hughes. Jack Hughes, the gold medal winning goal the other day, probably the face of Olympic hockey right now with the teeth and everything. so he's coming back and I want to see what they got for him, how's the ovation going to be, so they start the broadcast and they do a little bit of presentation, they put the teams on the benches, they got a red carpet out there they have Jack Hughes skate to center ice he brings out Tage Thompson from the Sabres and they do a little lap together then he does about 45 seconds no, but they were arm and arm they were arm and arm so they were arm and arm and you can read Tage Thompson's lips thank you very much for this or thank you so much for this. And then Jack Hughes gives a nice speech where he says, you know, it was a dream for both the men and the women to win the gold. It was a very good, well-received speech. Got a huge ovation. And after all this, there's USA chants. They unfurl, you know, one of those giant crowd flags where everybody under the flag can't see anything. Yeah. One of those. Huge, great scene, beautiful, patriotic. And they say, and now to sing the national anthem. and they bring out, I guess it's his country singer, Mark. It was the worst anthem I've ever seen. It was the most moment-ruining thing I have ever seen. And listen, TJ's not here, so he won't be able to stop us from playing this if we can find it. But if you can find the Devil's Anthem from Last Night, Lucas, it's just a guy. It was just like probably a 30-year-old white guy. I didn't hear the introduction of him. I assume it was a country guy because he tried to sing in a country swing. It was the flattest, worst, and the whole – you can see the players looking at each other like – Uh-oh. What are we – Has Malisek seen this? I texted Malisek this morning, and this is why Malisek is the woat or the goat. I texted Malisek this morning, and I said, I need this on your radar. And he goes, interesting. Wasn't great, but wasn't shocking. I expected worse. Now, this is a man who loves when a nine-year-old fucks up. Right, right. This is a man who loves – Now, this wasn't somebody forgetting the words, and it wasn't somebody hitting bad notes. It was just... I got to see the anthem. I mean, we're just talking about it. I'm talking about it. I need to see it, or I guess listen to it would probably be more important than seeing it. All right, and go ahead and play it, Lucas. I can't find it. I'm just looking at all the tweets right now from it. Was the Devil's Anthem singer trying to be as awful as possible? May have been the worst anthem I've ever heard at a Devil's game. Holy shit, what was he doing? Sabres vs. Devil's Hizzle worst anthem I've ever heard right after honoring Jack Hughes and the gold medal team. OMG LOL. So yeah, people were pissed. Yeah, it was... Ebo, I'm going to send it to you and then you send it to Lucas. You don't have Lucas' Twitter DMs? It's TJ's. And there you go. Well, I don't want TJ to know about it because TJ will call in. TJ will helicopter in and say, don't play it. Can we do all the things TJ wouldn't let us do? Oh, yeah, dude. Do we have a list of things that TJ would never – Mom and dad are left his home alone. Let's play a bunch of clips, play a bunch of Olympic stuff. Just eat ice cream for breakfast. All right, play it, Lucas. Whenever you're ready. I mean, you literally said nine minutes in, and I haven't even sent it to him yet. Yeah, play it, Lucas. Lucas, play it. Nine minutes into the – No, no. Go ahead, Lucas. I don't want to overstate it because it's not one of those where you're like, oh, my God, what a fuck up. It's just – It's just this is a huge moment, and you've got to rise to the occasion. They needed Whitney Houston in this moment. She's dead. So maybe it's not even this guy's fault. It's like the New Jersey Devil's fault. They created a moment. They created this incredible swell of USA pride. You've got Jack Hughes with no teeth over there, skating around with Tage Thompson. You've got opponents arm in arm carrying the flag, and then this guy just absolutely butchers it. Play it, Lucas. Yeah, one second. Here we go. Lucas, go ahead and play it. Here we go. Hey. Here we go. All right. And in three, two, one. Can you count from 30 instead? Shot clock. I'm just saying, if you can't bench 135, now's the time you've got to fake an injury. You've got to get hit by a car. I thought you were going to say, if you can't bench 135, you've got to be good at something. Right. And, you know, like if Lucas couldn't bench 135, but he was like. An elite producer? A good producer. Even good. Yeah. Or like a good guy to be around. Or like pleasant or looked decent. Any of these things. Anything. It wouldn't be as big of a deal. But when you have nothing else. You know what? Never mind. It was a good anthem. It was a fine anthem. The anthem was fine. You sent him a clip from ESPN. Why are you sending him an ESPN? Plus account. That might be on you, Brandon. That one might be on you. You sent him an ESPN Plus clip. I guess I did. No, we got to listen. Somebody find the anthem. I got to listen to this anthem. I must listen to this anthem. I'm ignoring TJ's text saying I'm watching. I'm ignoring that. All right. So anyway, we had other stuff going on throughout the world. Connor, find the anthem. I'm looking on YouTube right now. Did you see the question by a reporter to Conor McDavid? I did. Because the Americans aren't the only ones dealing with some horse shit coming back. I love it if it's an American asking the question, but I don't think it is. If it was an American talking shit, I'd love the question. Otherwise, this guy doesn't ask. Make sure TJ has this clip. Or not TJ, that guy over there. Make sure he has this clip of Conor McDavid getting asked the question because this we can actually play. Yeah. Conor McDavid, not Olympic hero because they didn't win, but the best player in the world. and his struggles to break through and win despite getting to Game 7 in the Stanley Cup a couple years ago, getting back to the Stanley Cup last year, now getting on the brink of winning gold in overtime. They lose. And he comes back to Edmonton, and maybe the first question he received was basically, Connor, what the fuck, man? Yeah. Why do you suck so much? Why do you suck? Why do you suck, Connor? You really, really suck. You, the best player in the world, why do you suck so bad? If you're so good, why are you so bad? Yeah. Yeah, here you go. You press the play button, Lucas. This is a hard question, but Stanley Cups found Gretzky and Crosby and those guys and gold medals, and you've put yourself in position and it's not finding you. Did you think it would be this hard? Nice question. Thank you. The phrase Stanley Cups found Gretzky and found Crosby are funny to me. He showed up, knocked on Gretzky. Those guys lucked into it. Why can't you? Like I said, if this was an American talking shit, I would love it. But it sounds like the guy's Canadian, right? It does. He's obviously Canadian. He's an Edmonton guy. If they were playing in New York and this was one of the Rangers reporters was just talking shit to him, it would be awesome. Or I think better would be if he was in Miami and they were playing the Panthers or something. Panthers are beating them two years in a row. Hey, man. Hey, over here. Sucks to suck, huh? Great question, though. Did he answer it? The clip got cut off. Did he answer why Cubs haven't found him? I don't know. I'm still looking for the national anthem. Don't worry about the anthem. Fine. The anthem was a bust. It does not exist. We have to listen to the anthem. The anthem was a bust, I guess. Give Lucas your login. If anybody wants to be a producer on the show, family, if you're out there, I know you know where the anthem is. You can just DM it to me right now, I guess, because these people I got on the couch aren't helping at all. Nobody has it on Twitter? I'm working on constructing a data visualization for the show. If you can... What? What? What did you say? I'm making a chart. What? I'm making a chart. Why? Because I want to. We don't need charts. Remember, we used to be a chart show, though. We got away from charts. Pie chart. We were pie charts. What was the... AP poll. No, we had a different kind of... A crash chart. No, what kind of chart do we have? A splatter chart? A scatter chart? A scatter chart. We would do the AP poll in football as a pie chart. Boy, those were the days. I mean, that was peak. Yeah. That was peak mostly sports. That was peak probably sports on the internet. That was back when we were in our prime. We're a little washed up now. Speaking of washed up, Giancarlo Stanton said that he cannot open a bag of chips. He said his elbows are in such bad shape he can't open a bottle or a bag of chips, but he's ready to play some baseball. Yeah, ready to hit balls 400 feet. Give me 162 games of baseball. I'm sniffing Kizzy on this. Say your elbows are gone, right? Yeah. I feel like your wrists are opening the bag of chips. Yeah, I don't even. I don't think your elbows are playing much. Now, obviously, maybe your wrist strength is rooted in your elbows. Like when you put your pinchers together, does it trigger your elbow? Is that elbow activating? It doesn't feel like it to me. I don't feel like my elbow's doing much. Lucas, can you open a bag of chips? Yes. Or is that too much? He's stronger than Giancarlo Stanton. That's a good point. He's much more functionally strong than Giancarlo Stanton. What if Giancarlo Stanton couldn't lift 135? That would be the funniest thing. Yeah, what if I'm like the strongest guy in the world? What if you and I are the two strongest? What's the funniest athlete who couldn't lift 135? Like Vince Wilfork? Kevin Durant couldn't do 185 at the NBA Combine. Why do they have a bench at the NBA Combine? I don't know. In sports, winning takes more than talent. It takes strength, reliability, and the drive to go the distance. Sound familiar? That's the same DNA you'll find in a Chevy Silverado. As capable and dependable as a winning team, Chevy Silverado shows up and gets the job done. It won't flinch when the pressure's on. It doesn't take plays off. When it comes to trucks, Chevy Silverado is football guy approved. To learn more about Silverado, visit Chevy.com. That one makes no... You take the skinniest, longest-armed dudes in the world. When has that ever been a useful measure of a player's skill? Yeah, I think it's just like the NFL did it and they felt like they should. Yeah. Have you ever played with a guy and been like, oh, thank God? When you play with the guys, you bench press a lot. You're like, oh, that guy can't shoot. I feel the same way about broad jump in the NFL combine. What are we proving here? Explosiveness. But they do 50 other explosiveness drills. They do the cone drill. They do the shuttle. They do all these other explosiveness. What is the broad jump telling us? Great question. even the 40-yard dash should not be the entire 40. It should be the last 20, I think. Yeah. Like, let you get up to top speed. Mm-hmm. Because your start matters so much. Well, I would – Like, it's more of like a form thing out of the gate. I would say – And that's stupid. For certain positions, 20 is more important than 40, right? Yeah. 20, if you can get up to speed by 20, that's way more important than 40 because how often are you really running 40 yards? Yeah. They should also start from, like, a sideways stance, like a baseball. Like, baseball has their players run 60s as, like, you start from a sideways stance. You start from a stance you would use. Yeah. They should have to do that. You should get your 40 speed running right and your 40 speed running left. Well, you could shave a few tenths off if you have good form, which is to say, like, your explosion out of the box. Which, why should guys be practicing that? There are guys that are about to run the 40 at the combine that the last couple months they have been practicing how they put their fingers down on the turf, which leg is up for, how long you keep your head down. Are you going to hold the arm like this? Keep your head down, and then you whip it up, and now we go. Why are they practicing that? Why don't they practice football? And after they do it at the Combine, they'll never do it in their life. Never do it the rest of their life unless they worked at Barstool, and then they'd have to do it again the next year, and then again the next year, and then again the next year, and then again the next year. Maybe twice in one year. Yeah. Did you find an anthem? I found the name of the guy singing it. What's his name? All I can find. What's his name? Did the Devils play last night? They did. Are you sure this happened? They might have scrubbed it. Did we win gold? Did Jack Hughes actually win gold? Jack Hughes did win gold. I'm trying to... And Jack Hughes did skate around. Trying to figure out what actually happened. There's a guy who was on American Idol. And his name was... This motherfucker actually made it through American Idol. like got to Hollywood? I'll double check. What the fuck happened to American Idol? But I think he did. Boy, oh boy. My opinion of American Idol has hit the shits. It was the first gold ticket of the season, and he advanced to Hollywood. He got a gold ticket? He's on the show now? No, it was back in 2022. What's his name? Cole Hallman. Cole Hallman. Cole Hallman. That's a bad name. Like you're the man walking down the hall. The hallman. All bad. Were you the hall man in high school? You were. You were the hall man, weren't you? Absolutely were. People kind of- They knew. A little bit, yeah. They knew. First day of school, they're just sitting in the lockers. Oh, there he comes. Did you wear like a hall monitor? No, I did not. No. There comes- We never had hall monitors. Hey, you're not allowed to be in the bathroom. Get back to class. I think hall monitors might be a TV construct. Yeah, probably. Anyone that- I never had hall monitors. Diligent with rules would never be out of class. That's right. Yeah. We had hall passes. If you wanted to go to the library during class, you had to have a hall pass. But nobody was ever monitoring it. If a stray teacher was walking down the hall, they might say, hey, you got your pass. But that was rare. That was horseshit, too. Also, we only had really hall passes like August and September. By December, it's all whatever. Being a senior in high school and having to have a hall pass to go piss is so fucking stupid. Yeah, agreed. Being in high school and having to have a hall pass to go piss. You'd be in high school at all. Yeah. I'm driving to school. Right. Yeah. I'm going to work after this. Society has trusted me to get into. I'm going to stock shelves after this. A car and drive 50 miles an hour on the road. Yes. And you don't trust me to walk down the hall and take a piss and get back in a timely manner? Also, in less than a year, I'm going to be in college. Uh-huh. Like. I'll be living in an apartment by myself. I have to. Yeah, I have to make decisions that are going to impact the rest of my life, but you don't trust me to go down the hall, take a piss, and come back. I have to sign out. I only get five hall passes every semester. Bullshit. What was the water fountain situation at y'all's school? Probably different than yours, I think. Come on, man. Probably different. Come on. I think we had the SK200. I imagine it might have been a lot different than yours. well what i was gonna say was my school was built like in the 50s and it had like uh had old style water fountains that you cranked but then we had a new addition we had an annex to the school that had the the new style water fountains yeah so if you did leave your your class you had to go way out of your way to go the good water fountain yeah and then the teacher would be like why did it take so long well i walked two three halls away because that's where y'all keep the good water Yeah. I remember seventh grade passing periods were four minutes. And who can shit? Four minutes? Who can shit in four minutes, Brandon? Four minutes. I think ours were nine. Passing periods in seventh grade were four minutes. That's crazy. Who could shit? You just can't. You can't. Was it a small school where you're right on top of it? No. No. It would be like if you had – so the classrooms were on this end and then like the gym was on the other end. So like if you had PE, which everyone did, you had to go to PE, you were fucked. You were absolutely fucked. You had to walk all – that was PE. That was the physical education was like sprinting to get there on time. You can't get a target. I'll go you one better. We have a split campus at West Point. We have the football field in the middle from the north campus and the south campus. Well, you'll have five classes at the north campus, but maybe your sixth period is in the south campus. So you've got to go around the football field. You can't even go across the field? No. You've got to go around the field. You're not allowed to step on the football field. And they expect you to do that in eight minutes. And you've got to holler at your best gal. You've got to pass her a note. You've got to take the note from her. You got to give her a side arm hug? Yeah. Maybe a smooch? I think high school was like seven-minute passing period. It wasn't even that long. We had 10, but our main hallway was a quarter mile long, so you had to sprint, basically. If you were in the gym, you had to sprint back. But when do you poop is what I'm saying. Well, let me ask you this. Because if during class you're like, I need to go poop, the teacher's like, no, you don't. You're just trying to get out of class. It's like, bitch, I got to poop. Yeah. At some point, I have to poop. Did you use your locker in high school? I believe on the first day of junior and senior year, I got my locker assignment and went and opened it, and I never visited it again. I don't know why. I was not a locker guy. I used it a lot. Usually a locker. I used it a lot. Yeah. Huh. I used it a lot, but I had a good locker spot, though, you know. Yeah. A whole court. I had, like, a whole court spot. Did you all have ups and downs or just one? Oh, we had the one. Yeah, the tall boys. Yeah. Yeah. We had a combination. We had some people got the tall boy. Some people got up and down. And that first day of school was if you got that tall boy, you were living good. The big locker and the right lunch. You know, we had first, second, third lunches. You could. Second lunch was for a group that only eats by themselves. But first and third lunch were what? I don't know what to tell you. But first lunch, you're eating at like 10.55. and third lunch you're eating at like 12.05. First lunch was always so early. So early. So early. You're such a dork if you're on first lunch. We used to hang out at the lockers, though. That was the movie. Just hold court at the locker. Keep your locker open. Just kind of. Do you have a lean? Were you a leaner? And sometimes if Mr. Jones and his nosy ass would turn his head, he might steal a smooch. Uh-uh. He might steal a smooch. Right there in the hall. Your sweetie pie. Right there in the hall. But Mr. He was so fucking nosy. He was always up in his mouth. He was always just kind of like, I'm watching you. I was like, shut the fuck up. Your name's Titus. Oh, Ridley? Oh, man. My mom and I went to the same high school, but when she went there, they used to have to share the lockers, like the tall lockers, because there were so many students, because they weren't building schools, and now they just have locker bays where they sort you out by grade into basically like a pig pen. where you're just there. The seniors have their locker bay. Yeah. Think about changing classes in high school Can you hear the lockers opening right now So in that scenario you like a sophomore and you got to go to class over by the senior locker Yeah You shitting your pants Oh, dude. Yeah. So it was 7th through 12th, and in 8th grade, if you took, I don't know, geometry or something, you would have to go. If you were in the upper-level math for 8th grade, you'd have to go to the high school. And it was daunting. Was it intimidating for you? You think, dude? I was 4'6", 80 pounds, Brandon. Because you were smaller than them when you were a senior? Yeah, dude. I shouldn't share this story. I was in eighth. Actually, I was in ninth grade, like end of the school year in PE. And one of the gym teachers came up to me and said, hey, the seventh graders can't be over here. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. In gym class. Oh, no. That was tough. Oh, no. Oh, gosh. Sorry, buddy. I also sent Lucas a fun activity if we want to do it. Ooh, a fun activity. A funtivity? What? Yep, we're doing it. A water fountain tier list maker. All right, let me get down in there. All right. I got it. You got it. Zoom in. Make them bigger. Enhance. Make it bigger, Lucas. Play with it. Enhance. It's 2026. Getting your protein fix should be easy with Tropical Smoothie Cafe's new protein blends. They're made with real ingredients like Chobani Greek yogurt and get it up to 30 grams of protein. These small decisions add up and can make a big impact on your New Year's health resolutions. They offer a cherry berry protein, chocolate peanut butter protein, my personal favorite, and almond banana protein smoothie, to name a few. Available for a limited time only, Tropical Smoothie Cafe. It's tropic time. Okay. Okay, which one you choose? He's going to save it as another image and he's going to make it bigger for us. No, I got my one one. I got one one. I can't see him. I got one one. I got my one one easy. I don't know if there's a whole lot of variants here. Oh, no, there is. And Lucas is about to – he's going to show it to us in just a second. So I'm so old they don't even have my school water fountains. So obviously – Okay, here we go. Obviously, I believe number three is the goat. Yes. I think number three is just like Frank Gore. It's like the standard – But what is the far right? What is the far right? Is that like a dentist tray? Yeah, kind of. I can't see enough of that one because that one might be – That one might be my goat. These are all super similar, though. There's no real variation here. I've never... Number three is the goat. Number three is Cole. The first one might as well be on the USS Enterprise. I don't know who the fuck has that. Yeah. Yeah, number three is the goat. Number three is your standard. I'll say number five, weak flow. Go. Okay, so dude. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. don't worry about the jerks ads all over the place let those take over our lives uh the number where are we now the new number four trash that thing is that's a weak flow that's what you push that that thing's just dribbling out and if you're on one and someone comes up next to you the flow yeah oh yeah yeah yeah that one is fucking garbage it it seems like it would be good maybe there's like one in the entire school that has like a decent flow but no well what about the one on the far right because it's very similar but i feel like it's better i think that's a good flow yeah that's a good one yeah uh i think the second one is is a b i've had some good experiences with those that one's like a wide flow i think i think i think now the new second one is also pretty good yeah yeah that one's cold yeah that was cold as fuck I'd put that in A, I think. The one that's first, I can't even render judgment on. I don't know what the fuck y'all think that is. I think that one, that's one, but that's what I'm trying to see, the third one now, because it looks similar to the... And what the fuck is that on the far right, Mark? Who the fuck knows? Oh, that's for dogs. That's a dog. That's a dog one. Well, that's an F. Or whatever the lowest one is, that's an F. D for dog. Yes. So the third one and the first one look like they're the exact same, do they not? Am I crazy? I think these are ones that you would find outdoors at a park. Okay. I don't see. Or along a trailer. I will say one of those variations, you'll push the button and it will launch it. And it's not even coming close to landing in the trade. I do like those, but I don't know which one it is that does that. All right. Now, we're going to put that first one in C as well because we don't know what to do with it. This one is interesting because this is a fountain that if you walk up to it and nobody's there, you walk up, it's a perfect A-plus water fountain. But if you walk up to that water fountain wanting water and somebody is standing in front of you filling up their water bottle, this is a gym water fountain, correct? That's right. This can be an A and it can be a D because I'll be goddamn, if I'm standing there watching some 35-year-old soccer mom fill up the biggest thing you've ever seen in the world, when I'm just parched from my workout that I theoretically could have. Just walk on the treadmill at a 2.5 speed or something. I would put that as – the view those catty bitches on the view yeah no i put it at b because they ruin it yeah i don't think public water fountains how should i put this uh should i should i save you time out i don't need saving there if if let's say you're a gym i think if you're going to have a public water fountain that has the fill up the bottle option you should have an accompanying fountain that doesn't have that option okay you should have an accompanying option that somebody can just go get a quick drink speak on it yes that is that fair yeah you should be able to separate there should be separate water fountain dude at my gym there's a there should be separate water fountains okay all right all right right right right time out time out time out at my gym at My gym, they have the bottle fill-up station next to the drinking fountain, right? Yes. But it does what Ebo mentioned earlier, where the guy that comes and starts to fill it. If you're sitting there drinking the water and the guy comes to fill up the bottle, it fucks up your flow. But they're not, like, right. I don't know. It's something where, like, every time a guy's filling up the bottle, he doesn't understand that he's fucking up the – because the ones back in school that were, like, you know, different levels, I feel like everybody kind of understood the game. You know if you push that you're going to fuck up that flow So you're a little courteous But people just aren't courteous They just don't even realize that that's And then you're just like down there like sucking Basically on the nipple of the fountain Yeah so I'll just start making noises Trying to get them to understand what they're doing to me And they don't care They say buddy it's you that looks like the idiot Not me Lucas what did you think of those noises No comment I have something else for you though You have something for me, for us. Oh! Wow. Look at the American flag. Look at everything. So hold on. Pause it. Freeze it right there. Somebody is watching the show, and they logged into their ESPN account and recorded a video of it. That's amazing. Now, real quick. Name's Kenny. Kenny. Shout out Kenny. First of all, family. Second, we are going to judge your TV setup. because I think that... Is TV too high? TV's too high, but also I don't know what room. Is this the primary TV? I think it's a strong TV setup that's slightly too high. It's too high, but also if this is a frame TV... I love the way it's in the wall. I love the way it's in the wall. It's classy. I think it's a terrific setup that's a little too high. It's a little too high, but is that a sound bar underneath it? Looks like it is. Yeah. Oh, he's got it. That's a good setup. That's a damn good setup. I believe I'm going to say that's in his basement, too. Yeah. Because that's what my basement ceiling looks like, and everybody's always like, oh, you're ceiling. I was like, oh. Ebo, you're a TV too high guy? Oh. Anything over a coffee table is too high because short. Short. Yeah. He said frame TV, basement TV, not his main TV. Yeah, then that's fine. Yeah, that's perfect. Yeah, Frank, because I think I'm not a TV over the fireplace guy, but sometimes the room, that's all you can do. You have to do it. Yeah. And the frame is good for that. I think that's a really – if that's his basement TV, I think it's terrific. Kenny, let us know what candle you're rocking with right there. Yeah. I'm going to say that's vanilla. Yeah. I'm going to say he's got a vanilla scent there. A little candle in the bottom right. All right, here we go. Here's the national anthem from the New Jersey Devils game last night. as he sings our national anthem. Oh, still can you see by the dawn's early light what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight Oh, the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming And the rocket's red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave Oh, the land of the free And the home of the brave So you see the dilemma here. There's some singing talent in that body somewhere. Well, he just does the thing with his voice where he... But it was... I can't overemphasize how lit up that building was when Jack Hughes came out with the flag. they're chanting USA USA USA there's a giant 80 foot flag in the stands and they say let's go to the national anthem if Jim Cornelison had been there that place would have exploded the place would have taken flight and he just oh say can you see he masked the singing ability with that little vocal trick where you strain your voice as flat as it can be I was ready to fight a war and by the end I was ready to see what Wheel of Fortune was on. Yeah. What was happening. And they really fucked the, I got to tell you, man, they really fucked the woman who was in the bonus round last night. Really? Yeah. They used the word I don't think should be, I don't think it's common enough to be in the bonus round. Can I say something about Wheel of Fortune? I always thought it was fucked up that they picked the letters for you that they get to put on, because they know going in, they can fuck you. RSTL and E. It was, the puzzle was glamping in the woods. glamping in the woods. Is glamping a common enough term? Can we play it? Is there a site where we can play last night's puzzle ourselves? I'm sure there is, yeah. Oh, I just fucking told you what it is, though. The answer is glamping in the woods? Glamping in the woods. Oh, I thought that was the hint. No. How would that be the hint? That's not a category. Pretty easily glamping in the woods. Right. What I'm asking you is, is glamping a common enough word to be in the bonus round $40,000 on the line. I don't know. Because the words that came up were, the letters that came up were like. It's tough, but I think it's gettable. L-N-G came up. What was the clue? What was the. No, event or activity. I don't remember, to be honest. I don't remember. I wish I did. You think glamping's fair? I think it's tough, but. What am I. What are you doing? That's the category. Glamping in the woods. Oh, that's. Glamping in the woods. That's a terrible category. What are you doing? I hate that one. That's very wide open. Yeah. But I hate that they pick R, S, T, L, and E for you. They can just rig it to pick the answers that don't have R, S, T, L, and E. But why they did that was back in the 80s, they didn't give you any letters. And they said, you pick the five consonants and a vowel, and every single person picked R, S, T, L, and E. And they said, fuck it, we'll just give them to you. Is that right? They're free. Is that what happened? Yeah. That's what happened. That's really what happened? That's really what happened. Wow. People would pretty much just pick those letters every time. But now you know going in that Goosebumps author is not going to be the answer. What category? You're not going to get that. You know that they're just not going to do that. Right? R.L. Stain? You just know that that's not going to be. And I don't like that. I don't like the. In sports, winning takes more than talent. It takes strength, reliability, and the drive to go the distance.

Wheel of Jeopardy? Wheel of Jeopardy. Wheel of Fortune I like that By the way, can I come to Cole Hallman's defense real fast before we get into this? Yes I saw an interview when I was looking him up He was booked before this whole Olympic celebration was going to be going down I think they got a sidestep I think they got a change He said in an interview he assumed that he was going to get replaced for Beyonce when he got the news that it was going to be this big celebration of Jack Hughes and this patriotic thing He thought they should have made it a much bigger thing going into it. So he was aware of the situation. Sure. It's a tough spot to be in. Yeah. And he's a professional singer? Yeah. I'm kind of with Malice. I didn't think it was that terrible. It wasn't Fergie. The moment demanded something. Yeah. And he wasn't capable of the moment. Which, yeah, the devil should have gotten somebody. If they were really going to do it big. He should have gone for it. He didn't really go for it. Yeah. Should have just fucking gone for it, man. I mean, there's a world. we've had a better anthem in this room than they had at the Jack Q celebration. Literally. Of course we did have one of the greatest. Yeah the greatest anthem singer maybe ever. The fact that it was acapella too puts him in a bad spot like if there was maybe some accompaniment then maybe it would have been better. I don't know. Maybe a piano. Yeah a piano. Piano. Yeah. You should have done in that spot you just even if you don't have it in your bag you just try to do what Marvin Gaye did at the All-Star game. Yeah. You just say I understand the moment. I have to go for it. Is that the goat to you? I go Whitney Houston Super Bowl, but it's those two. As far as vocal ability, no, because Whitney Houston blows it out of the water. Marvin Gaye is pretty awesome. As far as I want to throw on the national anthem in my car as I'm driving, you're absolutely Marvin Gaye is the one. That's the one one. Have you ever seen there's a TikTok guy that takes old songs, takes all the instruments out, and you just hear the voice of the person, and there's one of him doing Marvin Gaye, I heard it through the grapevine, and all you hear is Marvin Gaye singing, and it's the most beautiful fucking thing you've ever heard in your fucking life. And then his dad shot him. His dad killed him. Dad shot him with a shotgun. Killed him dead. Yep. Unbelievable.

Do we have Wheel of Fortune? Do we have a bonus round that we can play? We do not. Did you make an account? Let me stop you there, Mark. How did you get this job? How did you get employed here? Are you looking at me? I'm looking dead at you, yes. I made really bad edits for Jersey Jerry. P.F. Chang's is not sending their best. No. They're not sending them. Well, that's smart on P.F. Chang's, Mark. They're not. Imagine the talent that's still stuck at P.F. Chang's right now. Just wasting away at P.F. Chang's. I guarantee you there's someone at P.F. Chang's that could pull that up. I guarantee you they're out there, and we just hired the wrong guy. Somewhere P.F. Chang is watching the show, and she's like, God damn it. All right. Did you ever steal food from P.F. Chang's? Yeah, probably. I don't know. Is it stealing if we're going to throw it out? No, no. Then no. When I worked as a pizza delivery guy, One of our treats that we got at the end of the night, right before they closed up, they said, you just make your own pizza, and you can put anything you want. Oh, that's awesome. And I would throw every piece of meat. It would be piled up that big, and I'd just make it and take it home. Unbelievable. You bake it at home, or you bake it there? No, you do it at the station, put it in the oven, go take out the trash, whatever. Eight minutes later, just pick it up, go home. Perfect. Do you preheat the oven? It stays heated. Oh, really? And pizza ovens. Why would you do that? That's stupid. It's just stays heated. Now, I don't know when they got there the first thing in the morning if they waited. First pizza probably tastes like shit. Yeah. Just comes out raw as hell. I said this to Mark yesterday. I want to do a standalone video where we have a pizza cooking competition for frozen pizza, and I do my no preheat. He does his regular preheat, and we have somebody decide which one's better. We're going to do it. We're going to do it on this show. We're going to have a pizza cooking competition between you two. I think it would be very fun. But you're not allowed. You have to do it your way. He's going to do it the right way. Correct. Yeah. And, yeah, I fully admit that I'm not doing it the right way. By the way, those industrial pizza ovens. There's still a way to do it. Concerning amount of people that are like, I have Conor's back on that one. Yeah. And they're all 19. They're all 19 years old, have never met a woman. Jersey Jerry. Never met a woman and talked to her. Jerry came up to me and he said that Jerry has impregnated a woman twice, I believe. But think about that. What is that? Think about. Jersey Jerry is your. Jerry's a very successful guy. You think Jerry's a successful chef? Yeah, I guess. I don't know. But he said, he was like, you don't have to preheat the oven for frozen pizza. He came up to me in the office yesterday. I got another one for you that I saw on TikTok yesterday. People aren't boiling their water before they put their pasta in? That's crazy. People just throw the pasta in the water and it's not even boiling? I don't know what we're doing. Look at Connor's face. Connor's like, I don't do that. I don't know what we're doing. When you make pasta, do you not boil the water? Do you put pasta in cold-ass water? room to Connor does look at him look at him why what a fucking just throw it in there in the water it doesn't matter that's insane it's taking the same amount you're not saving any time no you're not we'll see when we do the pizza video with Mark the pasta's only affected when the water's boiling can I go back to this time saving thing this is what pisses me off the mud because it's because like Jack Wiper after the show comes up to me and he's like I'm kind of on Connor's side I was like how old are you Jack and he's like I turn 18 next week. There you go, you fucking idiot. He's like, dude, it saves so much time. What the fuck are you guys doing? You guys talk about this like you're up to your eyeballs with paperwork, and you're just like, I got, oh, the boss is slamming me. I don't have time. I wish I had time to preheat my oven, but I don't. You're sitting on the couch. You got your hand on your pud. You're fucking watching sports. You decide you're hungry, and you go get Pete. What is the rush? Throw it on your fucking phone over there. What is this idea that I have to save the two minutes? We're growing boys. We get very, very hungry. What are you growing them for? That's pretty good. That reminds me. You guys remember the little tiny, I don't know what you would call them. They weren't rubber, but you would get something. It would be a little, little tiny thing you'd break out of a package, and then you'd put it into a bowl of water, and then it would grow. Yeah. Yeah. I want to get one of those. I don't know where those went, but I need to get one of those and see how big I can get it. That's my next project. Did you see Matt Waldron's injury? I did, yeah. That's a Brandon Walker-ass injury. Literally, I guess. You made that up. Brandon Walker. You said I had a butt migraine? You've had a lot of butt problems. I haven't had any butt problems. You had to get your anal glands expressed one time. That one was real. I've joked about a lot of them, but that one was real. Anal glands was real. Matt Waltron you think this is somebody the Padres is fucking with him? Matt Waltron has a torn rotator cuff and they're like yeah he tore his asshole so what's his injury Ebo? Infection in his rear end? He's got an ass infection Why are you shaking your head Ebo? That's just crazy Have you ever in the history of sports heard of a guy being – You've got to say something else. Infection. You've got to say something else. He's illness. Deep thigh bruise. Baseball does this, though. They have weird injuries, right? They don't take care of their players. Is this like a – is it the Players Association fault? Like if dudes are – I think it's just a product of the sport, right? It's not like – it's just because it's weird soft tissue shit that just like – But my thing is like hockey player could have this, and they would just say lower body injury, and they would leave it at that. There's something about baseball that the story comes out that the guy was opening a box with a box cutter and cut his thumb. Who was it? Bauer had the drone. You should just say that he had an accident. I don't know. I think the reason baseball gets hyper-specific is everybody in baseball is a little bored. Baseball is a slower-paced sport, right? Yeah. Slower-paced. They have more time to think of this shit. Yeah. They have more time to be like, he's got an asshole infection. Asshole infection. but they'll be so specific with how it happened. They'll be – he was out deer hunting and he tried to spray deer piss on him and got some in his eye, so he's out two games. It's like you could have just said he's under the weather. He's got an eye problem. Yeah, his eye infection. What is the sport and team – all right. It's a memory that's a little hazy. So somebody got an injection. Somebody got shot with an injection and the injection injured them. Tyra Taylor. Is that who it was? Yeah, and Justin Herbert started his career. Okay, the Chargers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Where they were doing some sort of injection and they hit his spine or something? They hit his lung, right? They punctured his lung. They punctured his lung. Terod Taylor was the starting quarterback of the Chargers. Right. So in my mind, I'm thinking they were trying to inject his elbow with some cortisol or something. They accidentally injected his asshole. He got his ass, yeah. Oh, no, that was for your elbow. Fuck. How did we mess that up? My bad. But thanks for taking your pants off. I tripped and accidentally shot your ass.

I guess I'm the only patriot here, so I'll go first. America. And being that I am in Chicago, obviously we root for the hometown teams. It is a – is it kind of funny how that name – I feel like they could have put it on the back normally. We all see what you're doing, Brandon. I am rocking the PCA because we're in Chicago. This is PCA's town, baby. You're a real son of a bitch, Brandon. This is PCA's town. This is PCA's country. This is frankly bullshit. This is bullshit. USA, the new world. I'm sorry. Are we doing a World Baseball Classic soon? And is this PCA? What the? I told him to come in. Now, hang on a second. What is this? Who told you to come in? I booked him. Why? You didn't talk to me about this. You can't have Donnie on the show. Donnie, have a seat. Have a seat. Sit down. Have a seat. Have a seat. You have Donnie on the show. What is he going to say? Have a seat. Move the penguins. What the fuck does Donnie have to say? There's something on the prep sheet that Donnie would relate to. Oh, the ass infection? What am I in here for? The Edina school. All right, what's on the prep sheet? The Edina Hornets scored one of the stupidest goals you'll ever see. Okay, I'm in here for that. A dumb goal. Okay, what are you getting mad for? It's your high school. It's your high school. I'm going to see the goal. It's probably sick. You're an Edina legend, correct? I'm sorry. I don't know why I tried to do this, Mark. I'm sorry. I played for you. All right, so this is Edina right here. White and green, and they're playing defense. Is this the varsity or the team Donnie played for? I played on the varsity team, Mark. I was on the varsity fucking team. I was one of the four best goalies in the entire state. But you got demoted, right? That was freshman year. You had the yips for four years. I had the yips for a year. All right, so here they come. Here comes the Dinah. They're coming. God, look at that. Look at that kid. Braemar Arena, nothing better. Oh, that's so sick. What a goal. That was. Oh, my God, what a goal. That was pretty fucking sick. Are you kidding me? That's. Oh, my God. All right, it goes. it bounces up. How does it climb the net like that? That's so sick. Let's go, boys. That fires me up. That's Braymar Arena, the best high school rink you can play in. Fucking Adina, yeah. It is sick. I was kind of hoping he'd have his jersey and we could bring it all in. I don't travel around with my high school jersey to my parents' house. And Adina's just full of rich kids that don't have to work for anything? That's not true. That's the reputation of it. Minnetonka has more money. All the cities around the lakes are probably more well off than Adina. Adina gets the rep just because we're the best at They're tough parts of the diet. Hate us because you ain't us. Well, tough isn't exciting. Hate us because what? Because you ain't us. You're ain't us? Ain't us. Hate us because you're ain't us. Ain't us. No. Hate your ain't us. Look, man. You didn't know that goal existed? You hadn't seen it? How have you not seen that? I haven't seen it. If my high school had done something that sick, I'd come in with it on my shirt. Look, I watched when we won state championships. That's when I tuned in. We've got to be close, right? You did watch when they won state championships. You were on the JV, right? I was on the varsity team, Mark. The varsity? Let me explain to you my hockey career, okay? Sure. If you really care. I do. Mark doesn't, I do. If you don't understand goalies, there's only two on the entire team. Right. Okay. There's one that plays. Help me understand goalies. Eidon is the best team in the entire state. Every year? Oh, yeah, every year. Okay. Not every year, but every year we're a tournament team. Sure, sure. Every year I played there, we made the tournament. Championship expectations. Yes. The most banners in the state of Minnesota. Got it. Right. Okay? Yeah. Just to be on that team is an accomplishment in and of itself. Well, your parents pay for it. No, there's no money involved. It's no small feat to be on that team. Kurt Giles, the head coach of that team, is no fucking nonsense. There's other teams you can pay to be on. You can pay to be on Benil. You can pay to be on St. Thomas. But not Edina. Not Edina, no. Kids transfer into Edina to open a role that's just to play off. So they recruit. No, no, no, no. We don't need to recruit. Kids want their son of a place, so they'll buy an apartment or a condo and they'll have two places to play just for Edina. That's not doing – if you're saying it's not a money thing, saying they will buy a condo. They'll buy two places, yeah. No, I'm not – they don't have two places. I'm saying they'll move to Edina from the other suburbs. Look, Kurt Giles, our head coach, played for the North Stars forever. He basically invented the hip check. He's missing a finger. Wait a second. He invented the hip check? Yeah, he did. Kurt Giles invented the hip check. That was probably the first thing somebody ever did in hockey. No, flipping somebody over where you're fucking like ass up and they go end over end. Look it up. How do you do it? What's the proper form of it? I mean, I played goalie, so I wasn't doing a lot of hip check. Right. Like, you know, the board's right here. Sure. Hip check. Flip a guy over. Connor, let him hip check you real quick. Yeah, okay. Because I couldn't really visual that. Connor's kidding. Connor, get behind him. Get behind him. It's not a behind thing. So this is the board. You're coming in. Bam. I get down low. You go end over end. You're fucked. You're absolutely fucked. And Kurt Giles invented that. Yes. Okay. In the NHL. Look up. Kurt Giles hip check. I'm sure there's highlights. Anyway, he's missing a finger. My story, missing a finger like this. This is our head coach. All right. Okay? And the story is – Was that a hockey injury? Yeah, he was playing in the NHL in the Stanley Cup Finals. He gets mangled. He gets hit. Finger gets mangled in the boards. Doctor goes, you got two options. We can fix your finger. You can keep it. You're not going to be able to play the rest of the tournament. Or we can amputate it. His response, cut the fucker off. He's got no finger, but he's got a Stanley Cup ring that sits right there. That was kind of stupid, though. Yeah, that was really dumb. Why? When a Stanley... Are you kidding me? You would choose a finger over a Stanley Cup ring? Wasn't the other option like just... Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Couldn't he just keep the finger and keep playing? Wasn't the other option like tape it to your hand and keep playing? The doctor said if you want to fix your finger... That might have been a bad doctor. You'll be out. I mean, it was old. What about the move where you just tape it around the middle finger? It was the North Stars era. I don't know. They didn't have the best doctors, but he's old. He's old. How do you get your... I thought you have pads on. This is before pads on your hands. Guys, this is... This is... I wasn't around. I don't fucking know. They just didn't have pads on their hands when they played hockey. It's a story. So, Kurt Giles, a legend. He's the guy that put you on the JV. No, I put myself on the JV by having a bad game. By the yips. The yips for four years. Not the yips for four years. The thing is with a goalie. I had one game that was a bad game, and then they put the other kid in. The other kid was hot. You keep the hot goalie in. Was he good at goalie, too? You keep the goalie that's playing hot in. I'm not taking any of your shit right now. I'm talking hockey terms. Talk to me. Don't worry about him. And you know that. And it's like at other schools, maybe they're like, oh, everyone should get to play. Like, Edina, we're winning championships. So once you have a goal that's playing good, you keep them in the rotation. How many championships did you win in high school? I won in high school. I was on the team, but I never played in a championship game. But do you have a ring? Yes, I have a ring, and my name is on the banner. But it's like, you know, whatever. What are you going to do? If your name's on the banner, your name's on the banner. That'll never come down. That's true. What's the name of the arena? It'd be real shame if it did come down somehow. Braemar Arena. Braemar Arena. You know what? Don't worry about him. The banner's hanging in Braymar Arena? Yeah. That's in a diner? No, the plaque is in our locker room with everyone's name. Where's your name? Your name is on the plaque where? I'm not telling you anymore. I'm going to Braymar Arena at some point. I've got to see this legendary. Because, listen, 50 states, right? Minnesota has the most legendary hockey tournament, correct? Of course, yeah. I'm not belittling your accomplishments. I think it's great. I mean, people that play, like the state championship is 20,000 people packed into the XL Energy Center. Yeah. It's a cool experience. It's like Texas football. You want to go this year? Me and you? Yeah, I'd go. I'd go too. Isn't it like tomorrow? No. That was the state semifinal they just won, right? Was it? No. That was not the semifinal. That was to advance the state. That was sectional. That was sectional. Okay. All right. That's the sectional. That didn't look like the big arena right there. No, that's our home arena. That's Bramard. That's Bramard. Yeah. That's Bramard. That's Bramard. Okay. A public high school has a hockey arena that big? Can I say the goal again? Well, I mean, they're rich. These kids are rich. A lot of money, Evo. I was watching an interview with Jesse the Body Ventura last week, and he's like, yeah, kids that grew up in South Minneapolis like me, we had to go to Vietnam. Now, the rich kids over in Edina didn't have to go. And that's what – I mean, I don't know about Vietnam. Yeah. Well, that was a war. Yeah, they're not going to Vietnam now. It was back in the 70s, yeah. You don't have to worry about it. Yeah. Look, I'm just saying it's a good team to play for. Let's see the goal one more time. because I think this is a sick, ridiculous, nice stop by the goalie right there. Great save. He didn't have the yips. All right. You guys ever played? You ever tended in that? It's not easy. I have. I have. Look, Patrick Shark gave me the game puck. That's a fucking crazy. Disgusting. Did he mean to do that? I'm almost like this shouldn't count. Yeah, same. I think if the puck touches the top of the net, it should be. If it's safe, if it rests up there, if it was to sit there, then the whistle blows, but it rolled off. I'm seeing Kurt Giles, master of the hip check. Okay. Wow. Is what they were called. So he's right. Yeah. Yeah. The hip check doesn't have a single documented inventor. But. Oh, rather evolve with defensive technique of the Russian defenseman Vladimir Orlov. Sure. Sure, guys. So maybe he created the American hip check. Yeah. Look, guys. Other notable practitioners. I'm not hating on Kurt Giles. Larry Robinson, Rob Blake. I'm not talking shit on Kurt Giles. See what happens. See what happens. I'm not talking shit on Kurt Giles. I'd love to give him a high five. Well, I – He'd get a high five still without a finger. Four and a half. Look, Dave Longer, too, New York Islanders legend. He was around – maybe a little – he's older than you. Yeah. And when he was coaching, and he took a slap shot from Matt Nelson, one of our biggest fucking guys, right to the shin, no pads, in practice. And usually that would send a guy down. That's probably – he's probably a goose egg this big. He looks – and this is a mean motherfucker. We were all expecting him to, like, I don't know, yell or do something. He looks around and goes, what, it's just fucking rubber. It skates away. That's pretty sick. as a 75-year-old man. It's pretty sick. That is sick. Pretty sick. Big old kid's sick. Yeah. I mean, it's a great place to play hockey. Minnesota, though, it's militant. Donnie, I'm going to give you an opportunity right here. It just came to me right now. Yes. We have a cooking competition. We're probably going to need to use your kitchen during a show one day. I've heard of it. You've heard of what? This continue. Yes. I was going to continue until you stopped me. My bad. Okay. Connor believes you don't have to preheat an oven. Yeah, I was unaware. Mark believes you do need to preheat an oven because that's why you follow the instructions as told to you by the pizza company. Now, I'm not asking you your opinion. Okay. But they're going to have a competition. One's going to do his way, one's going to do his way, and I need you to judge the better pizza. That's totally fine. Can you do that? Yeah. Also, what do you think about the preheating oven? He's going to be the judge? Right, right. Now, listen. I'll be impartial. Like I said, when it comes to food, I put my biases aside. I believe Chef Donnie is as impartial as it gets. I don't think he would let any biases or hatred for you, earned or not, come in the way of telling Connor he's an idiot. Correct? Correct. Whoa, no, whoa. What? I wasn't thinking. I thought you called Mark an idiot. I'm kind of in my theory, the oven thing, I'm in the middle. I'm in the middle. There is no middle of this, Donnie. Yes, there is. There is no middle. Preheat it halfway? You turn the oven on and you use convection, which is that you just turn the fans on, it blows hot air much faster than a standard oven. You put it in about halfway through. Once the convections are blowing, you're fine. What? Why not just do it the way they say? Why are we in a hurry? I don't understand that. I'm just saying how we did it. In restaurants, when the ovens weren't fucking hot, we'd fire it on. We'd go, fuck it, it's warming up, turn the convection on. We weren't making frozen pizzas, but it was mostly for roasting bones. All right, thank you, Donnie. That's funny for you? Yeah. Roasting Bones? I thought that was a funny phrase. Roasting Bones? Kind of. What's funny about Roasting Bones? Who roasts Bones, dude? You're being stocks and superfoods. Who are you roasting Bones? You out here roasting Bones? What are you roasting Bones right now, Donnie? What the fucking... I'm a chef. I roast Bones? Hey, Donnie. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. That was a sick goal. Let's go Hornets. Sick goal. Is Roasting Bones in your cookbook? What's their name? The Edina what's? Edina Hornets. Hornets. Okay. Go Hornets. I'll give you a jersey. Thank you. I love that. I love that guy. He's a great guy. You're such a jerk to him, you know? You're such a jackass. I couldn't let the yak have all the Mark Donnie. But it was also a good opportunity to bring him on. It would have been sick if he was wearing the jersey. I really was hoping he would have the jersey. Blue Diamond Almonds and more are the flavorful nut mix. Or as it says here, the flavorful nut mix without the R. Maybe that's the new. Nope, that's just misspelled. Mixed nuts are leveled up. Almonds, cashews, and pistachios in three signature Blue Diamond flavors. Honey roasted, smokehouse, and roasted sea salt. Now listen, I don't know if I'm supposed to do this, but I do have a favorite of those. I think the smokehouse nuts right there are incredible. They are great. The roasted sea salt, very good. The honey roasted, very good. I love a good smokehouse can of nuts, man. Freshness is guaranteed. Five grams of protein per serving. Other mixed nuts are stale, they're bland, and they cannot match Blue Diamond's flavor and freshness. upgrade to the flavorful nut mix blue diamond almonds and more scrubs was last night was great yeah it's a reboot it's a it's a it's it's a revival it's a revival it's not a reboot it's a why do you look like this are you doing the combine today yeah i don't everyone keeps commenting on my clothes i you don't understand you're in all black with black socks and black shoes i was gonna wear a black undershirt, this. My shorts ended up being black. Were they not black before? Well, these are my cleanest shorts, so I got these. Well, my shoes are black. Right. So then I decided to wear black socks. I don't... Fuck, I forgot to pack shorts. That's why I came... That's why you dress for what's later in the day, right? A combine funeral. Exactly. I see no... I have to do mine in jeans. Did you see the Odeinagol? Yeah, I did. I can't believe an alumni of that school hadn't seen it. It's pretty shocking. But he's busy. He's roasting bones right now. He's got bones to roast. I don't appreciate how he threw the penguin on the ground. Someone sent me a video. Let me try to find it. For you, Blutman. For you. First of all, this picture that you put on the prep sheet is pissing me off. And your caption is just check out this asshole. That's a good description. This is the worst person on earth. And everybody like him. I like... If you don't want to shovel your driveway fully, fine. If you just get it to where you can get out and there's still some snow there, that's on you. That inconveniences you a little bit. Whatever. This motherfucker... Has he got it? Has he got the picture? I'm standing at him right now. It is jarring. This motherfucker should be arrested. My computer's running really slow now because the battery's slow. Somebody requested this as an is this funny question. So I'm going to... I found the video. I'm going to send it to Lucas. There we go. And we wait. I'm going to send it to Lucas. All right, here's the story. You ready? I'm going to read the tweet. Okay. A routine match in Istanbul became a moment of pure humanity when Captain Gani Catan sprang into action after a seagull was struck midair. A dying seagull was saved by a Turkish footballer. He gave him CPR on the field. And then there's a video of it. Yeah, nothing of that was funny. That was just like a sentence. What happened to the seagull? I sent Lucas the video. I watched the video. The seagull got hit by a soccer ball, and the guy gave him CPR. Someone in the audience, I don't know who sent it in, but someone sent it in and said, ask Blubman if this is funny. I just want everybody in the chat or out there online, if you ever find yourself wanting to vocalize any hatred or disdain for our producer, TJ, I want to point you to moments like this. Can I just do that? Because this motherfucker over here is useless. A dying seagull was saved by... Turkish footballer after he performed quick CPR on the pitch. He might be crushing this poor bird. What started as a normal football match in Istanbul took an unforgettable turn. In the 22nd minute, the ball accidentally struck a seagull midair. The players stopped as the bird lay motionless. With no first aid training, Team Captain Ghani Chattan instinctively began CPR. Not funny. Not funny, brother. I'm with you. Not funny. Something incredible happened. Life returned. Wait a minute. Cut the music. Cut the music. Did life return? Right. When does life return? Life never returns. Also, I don't think getting hit with a blunt object to be followed by CPR, should it? No. I don't know, man. That wasn't funny to you? The video was funny. It really wasn't. And this is why we do it. So much love and respect for the wilderness and the animals. Now, what if the bird was a crippled young girl trying to walk onto the soccer field with crutches? I have a chuckle from all of us as a collective. It's messed up, Blumman. I still can't believe it. I can't believe that video. Wait, hold on. Time out. I did Jersey and nobody else did it. Oh, Ohio State basketball, I'm over, and I've moved on to the handball team. The handball team came into the office a year ago. Yeah, really got creative with their jerseys. Yeah, they're great. Well, it's scarlet and gray, Brandon. This is gray. That's not scarlet at all. I imagine there's a scarlet version. This is the official Ohio State team handball club, and they got me a number 34. It was my basketball number, so I thought that was cool. Thanks to them. Shout out to them. I don't know how they're doing this season, but surely doing better than the basketball team. Go ahead, Connor. Well, Brandon has the USA baseball jersey that nobody else can get because they're $420 and you have to wait two months for them to ship. They're in stores, by the way. I went to a store yesterday and bought it. All right, well, I'll go to a store later and get one because I had to settle for this incredible knockoff Chicago Cubs jersey. I don't know. What player is it? It's literally just blank. A blank player on the back. I don't know what's going on. I think that's a shirt. That's just a T-shirt. It's buttoned up. That's a shirt. It's a buttoned up T-shirt. No, it's not. It doesn't have a number on it. Anyway, this is my jersey for the day. We're rolling with knockoffs in 2026. Eba? Yeah, I'm wearing an Orioles jersey that someone sent in, and it is an authentic Milt Pappas jersey. Whoa. Milt Pappas. Milt Pappas. Who got traded for Frank Robinson. Yeah, I think you grew up watching Milt Pappas, right, Brandon? You said he was your favorite player growing up? Lucas? I'm wearing a Jameis Winston Giants jersey I got for my girlfriend. Aww. Did you say for my girlfriend or for my girlfriend? You got it for your girlfriend or from your girlfriend? For. You got it for her. For her. You bought that jersey for her. And you're wearing it. Yeah. You're wearing your girlfriend's jersey. Yes. I didn't realize that was Lucas at first. He's not wearing shorts. Is it big? It looks kind of big. Yeah, it's a bigger size one. She wanted a bigger one. Okay. I don't know. Oh, my God. I sent Lucas the final data, a little scattershot of our audience's bench press. Wait, wait. I don't get what's wrong with it. I get a lot of things I say, yeah. But I don't get what's wrong with it. Blumman, what jersey are you wearing? I'm wearing the one half of my upper torso jersey for the combine. Okay. Just the sleeves. What's wrong with it? We need to do a grid. We need to do a grid, but Ibo put together data for us. Yeah, scatter shot of – I put a poll in the chat. I asked people to submit their weight and how much they can bench, and I took out a lot of people that looked like they were lying. Yeah. And this is what I got. This is our audience. Your graph is kind of sketchy. All right, so we got a lot of people. All right, weight there. Okay, so we got two 300-pounders, all right, and then we got some big 250s. Most people are between 150 and 200. and most people... He's benching over 350. Yeah. I'm saying the guy that is 150 benching 250. Hold on. I got a guy that's 200 benching 360? Yeah. That could work. He's 190, he's benching 360? Good for him. So our average audience weighs about 225 and benches about... Our median person is a 185 person that benches 225. Okay. One rep max. 185 pound person that benches 225. Yeah. We got fucking studs. the audience. And we got a 280-pounder that lifts almost 400 pounds. And you made sure they couldn't lie. Yeah. Yeah. No lying allowed. No lying allowed. All right. There were some people that said they weighed 67 pounds and could bench 467 pounds. It doesn't get more scientific than that. That's about as good as it gets. What else can you do? Yeah, that's about as good as it gets. There it is, Lucas. Do you disagree with science? But you feel silly now. They still hung up on the jersey. You're wearing your girlfriend's jersey, and you look small in it. Oh, okay. Well, I got a bigger size. All right. Do you know what the grid is? No. Immaculate grid. Immaculate hockey grid. Immaculate hockey grid. God damn it. I did not know that. Do you want to do the male or female one? That's pretty fun. Lucas, man. He's on a roll. All right. All right. Okay. Penalty minutes, right? I know Flyers penalty minutes. Who is it? Then do it. Daniel Carcillo. All right, start us off. We've used him a bunch. Top right, Carcillo. Or Daniel. All right. That first one, yeah. Bang. Is Carcillo the new Jager? I don't know his full role. Jager's top left. I mean, that's a given. That's easy. I got one. That's easy. I got one for top middle, too. Well, it's the Flyers. You shouldn't brag about it. Okay, go ahead. What's top middle? Peter Forsberg. Good answer. Wow. Oh, the Griffin sweep. And that's all, folks. You got one? You got more? Kings. Doug Gilmore. I think I'm – I don't know where we want to put it. Wayne Simmons, I think, played for the Flyers. Okay. Well, that doesn't help us at all. No, no, no. But I think he played for three of those four other teams. All right. Well, is he a penalty minute guy? No. What about Holla? That's a good point. What about Holla? You want to play Holla somewhere? I love Holla. Sabres. Delicious in French toast. Facts. Could we put a – I don't know any of these. P.K. Subban played for the Sabres by chance? I don't know. I don't fucking know. Could we do Sabres? Oh, he played for the Kings. Did he play for anyone else? Predators, yeah. Oh, then Subban. Middle, middle, Subban. Okay, Subban. Here, pure a bit. That's the show. We'll be back tomorrow. Pure a bit. That's how ball is done. Somebody take this seriously one goddamn time. I thought that one was. Shut up, Connor. Penalty minutes. Come on, man. It's like 1140. Thank you. We'll see you next time.
