00:00You knew right then and there, we are f***ed, and...
00:05That's what I said yesterday when I saw the new viral, horrible country music song by Luke Bryan.
00:11Oh man, you just saw that, yeah, that's...
00:13That's tough.
00:15Wake up, coffee, camo, climb trees, golfin'.
00:21Did AI write that song?
00:23Yes.
00:23Because that's all I heard from everybody on the internet.
00:25Sounds like it.
00:26That is the worst country song of all time.
00:28Yeah, achy, breaky heart has officially been retired.
00:31There's a line in achy, breaky heart that says, you can even let your dog bite my leg.
00:36Oh yeah.
00:36Billy Ray was an AI in it then.
00:38Luke Bryan, get bent.
00:41So bad.
00:41I saw that and thought it was a joke.
00:43And then he actually performed it live at The Voice or wherever he's on.
00:49And people were like, yeah, what?
00:51What's happening?
00:52Wake up, coffee, camo, climb trees.
00:56Wake up, coffee, camo.
00:58Oh, shut up.
01:02Dude, what are you talking about?
01:04This is real?
01:05People like this?
01:06I mean, if you had been a country music fan your whole life and you woke up and heard that
01:11song.
01:11And you knew right then and there, we are f***ed.
01:17Literally.
01:18Yeah, that can't be.
01:19There's better stuff out there.
01:21Just if you're a country music radio station talking to you, Jenny and Jagger, refuse.
01:26Please don't.
01:27Please.
01:28A16 says, Rob Maloney could write a better song.
01:31100%.
01:31I think so.
01:32I think so.
01:33Our AI Binkley song is better than that.
01:36Oh, so much better, dude.
01:38Oh.
01:40Yeah, that is a rough, rough go.
01:43What a weird one here.
01:45Fun fact.
01:46Achy Breaky Heart was the number one song today in 1992.
01:50True story.
01:52Really?
01:53Today?
01:54The universe.
01:54What?
01:56That's so weird.
01:57Have you ever seen that music video?
01:59Yeah, just because we brought it up recently.
02:01The way he dances?
02:02Clean.
02:03Yes.
02:04Very clean.
02:05I mean, that is, oh my gosh.
02:09That's the garbage that all country music sounds like.
02:11Pause.
02:12That's not true.
02:13That is not true.
02:15Luke Combs does not sound like that.
02:17Zach Bryan doesn't sound like that.
02:19Tyler Childers doesn't sound like that.
02:21Turnpike Troubadours don't sound like that.
02:23Ella Langley doesn't sound like that.
02:24Ella Langley does not sound like that.
02:26I just saw she had her first song was called like Paint the Night Blue.
02:29Okay.
02:30It's a lot older.
02:32She's still a smoke show.
02:33Paint the Town Blue.
02:34I think that's what it is.
02:35Yeah.
02:36It's a very good song.
02:37I didn't know it existed because nobody knew who she was until, like, not no one.
02:41But yeah, she blew up recently.
02:43She blew up with the TikTok video that was the Choosing Texas.
02:47Choosing Texas.
02:48Did you see, you've seen that guy where he's like on the golf course, he's doing the dance?
02:52I don't know if I have.
02:53Okay, so that's, to me, that's where I found out the song.
02:56So I was just on Instagram and, like, the TikTok and all that.
03:00And you're like, what's this?
03:00Yeah.
03:00And this guy's like, Choosing Texas, I can tell.
03:03And he's like this, like, you know, guy dancing and behind him is like a golf course or whatever,
03:07like an open field.
03:08She had that guy come into her dressing room and perform the dance via TikTok with her.
03:14Wow.
03:15Talk about knowing your audience.
03:16Yeah, seriously.
03:18That's so true.
03:19That's smart.
03:20816 says, Cody's songs even kill compared to that.
03:23Well, okay.
03:24Hold your horses.
03:26Okay.
03:27Somebody says, I had a weird dream last night.
03:30I was at the bar with Dusty and Binkley, and Dusty just talked like Bink all night.
03:36Then Dusty and Bink started arguing why you should drink beer or Surfside.
03:41I said, why not both?
03:42And we got sloshed on beer and Surfside.
03:46Then I woke up and was sad.
03:48It wasn't real.
03:49I think I have a 96.5 problem.
03:52Well, rumor has it, with the Cody and Gold garage sale,
03:56there could be your opportunity to come hang out with Bink and I on a bar tab at Diametric.
04:03From what I've been told.
04:04Ooh, that sounds fun.
04:06What I've been told.
04:08Yeah, I give Cody all the credit in the world.
04:11He's better than Luke Bryan.
04:12Shout it.
04:14I mean, Bo Burnham kind of called it.
04:32It's so good.
04:32I mean, that's literally what that song is, pretty much.
04:35Yeah.
04:35If even that.
04:36I don't know if Luke Combs knows what a noun is, but.
04:39Luke Combs does.
04:40Luke Bryan.
04:40Oh, you're right.
04:41You, sorry.
04:42Yes.
04:42Did not mean to diss my mans.
04:43Is Luke Bryan also the one that's like, rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey.
04:51Oh, boy.
04:53Rough.
04:53That's why in 2001, there's no way I'm playing golf today.
04:56Yeah.
04:57It doesn't look good, brother.
04:59Can we get some clarity here?
04:59Yeah.
04:59Can we get a, when's the email?
05:01I mean, the email's got to come out soon.
05:03Next hour, right?
05:04There's just no way.
05:05This ain't happening, guys.
05:06I think the two kids and the cat in the hat book is staring out the window.
05:09Yeah.
05:10It's pouring down rain.
05:11What are we going to do?
05:11Have this talking cat come and talk to us.
05:14Tell me Dr. Seuss wasn't on acid.
05:16A hundred percent.
05:17Even the fish talked and rhymed with everything.
05:21Imagine that.
05:22The irony in that.
05:23I'm going to write kids' novels, but before I do it, drip, drip.
05:27Yeah, exactly.
05:28All right.
05:29So.
05:30Seriously.
05:30There's these two kids.
05:32They're staring out their window.
05:33It's raining.
05:35And a standing seven-foot-tall cat walks in the room and makes them destroy their house.
05:40And they got to clean the bathtub with their mom's dress.
05:43That's acid.
05:46I might be on acid because I'm going to give you a reason to believe.
05:49Yeah.
05:50Yeah.
05:50Give me whatever you're on.
05:52Okay.
05:53Surfside.
05:54Combination pack.
05:55Have you had the blueberry lemonade yet?
05:58Yes.
05:58Yeah.
05:58I'm normally not a sweet, sweet guy.
06:00Those are delicious.
06:01Beautiful.
06:02So good.
06:03Those are delicious.
06:04So good.
06:06And I think in my next range bait, I got a new product from Surfside.
06:14Let's go.
06:14You can debut it in the range bait.
06:15I think so.
06:16Dude, that'd be awesome.
06:17I think I got the okay to do it.
06:18Great video yesterday.
06:19I loved it.
06:20Appreciate that.
06:20Yes.
06:21Listen to it.
06:22Go watch it.
06:23Don't take more than three minutes to try to find your golf ball in the rough.
06:25Just stop.
06:26Stop doing that.
06:27Stop doing it.
06:27And if you're not a four or under handicap, don't play from the tips.
06:32Now, again, there are exceptions.
06:33If you played a very short course, then okay.
06:39I will say this.
06:42And they're five and a half games out of the wild card.
06:45And I know there's a lot of people right now driving in this rain, pissed off at the
06:48rain.
06:48Now you're probably pissed off that I'm giving you a reason to believe.
06:51Get bent.
06:51Great song by Bruce Springsteen on the album, Nebraska.
06:54People find some reason to believe.
06:59You are only five and a half out.
07:01The Rangers are your next opponent, and they're ahead of you in the wild card standings.
07:05So, if you do have a small grain of hope, this series should do it for you.
07:11I'm not going to let the Yankees necessarily tell you.
07:14Now, the vision might be over.
07:15That's why Roxette was playing yesterday, right?
07:17Listen to you.
07:19That's not them.
07:19But that is them.
07:21But it wasn't that song.
07:24But, again, the Rangers are in front of you.
07:26You had a crucial off day where you just got swept by the Yankees.
07:30Not just swept.
07:31Got your ass kicked by the Yankees.
07:32We all know that.
07:33Outscored 50 to 10, out homered 17 to whatever.
07:36Unbelievable.
07:37They had 17 home runs against you in a five-game series.
07:39That's crazy.
07:40Or in a six-game series on the season.
07:41They swept you.
07:42Three in New York, three in Kansas City.
07:44That's tough.
07:45That's down bad stuff, right?
07:47Like, you turn it off.
07:48I don't want to.
07:49I can't take this anymore.
07:49Well, you didn't have to worry about it yesterday because you got Wimby and
07:51Oklahoma City playing game six, which we'll get into that in a little bit as
07:55well.
07:56But if you go and sweep Texas, who's not good either.
07:59Nope.
08:00Now, there are two games out of the wild card.
08:02You're five and a half.
08:04So, if you can go handle business, the only crucial key element is you have to
08:11start winning.
08:13And you're running out of time.
08:14And the time that I'm talking about is the trade deadline that will be on,
08:18what, August 3rd or something like that.
08:21Yep.
08:21First week of August.
08:22So, you think about it.
08:24June is what?
08:25Monday?
08:26Sunday?
08:27Today's the 29th?
08:28Yeah, I think it's Sunday.
08:29So, you have June 1st is on Sunday, which is always kind of...
08:31Monday.
08:31Monday's June 1st.
08:32Yeah.
08:32June 1st, Monday.
08:34Always kind of Denny and Vern's line of demarcation.
08:38What are you as of June 1?
08:41And you play nine games on the road where you're not really that good of a team on the
08:45road.
08:46Hell, you haven't been really that good of a team at home, but you're better at home
08:47than you are on the road.
08:49But if you go on this nine-game road trip and go six and three, and then all of a
08:54sudden
08:54you're three games out of the wild card, what say you, Mac?
08:58Is that where it goes?
08:59Or are you already...
09:00Is it just...
09:01There's no turning back.
09:02I need to...
09:03You can't see it.
09:04Because the six and three road trip, you would jump teams.
09:07I think there's only...
09:08It would help me.
09:08It would help me.
09:09I think there's only three teams below you.
09:10I think it's the Angels, the Twins, and the Tigers.
09:14All of which have the same record as you.
09:18All, yeah, 22 and 35 are the Angels, Tigers, Royals.
09:22Yep.
09:22Those are it.
09:23And then you got the Red Sox with 23 wins and then a little bit of a jump once you
09:26get
09:26to 25.
09:26So, yeah, tied for the worst record in a bad AL.
09:30The math, the wild card stuff, I get it.
09:32I think it's...
09:34It's not what I want to look at, though.
09:35What I want to look at is the product in the field.
09:37So, yeah, six and three, if that meant the product in the field looked better, they were
09:41scoring more runs, they were more consistent in their base running, their defense, all
09:44those sorts of things that we've talked about at nauseam over the course of this, what seems
09:48to be long season, we're only 50 games in.
09:51Then, yeah, then I'll start to talk about it.
09:53But, yeah, the math of a wild card and what is a bad AL and you're the bottom of a
09:57bad
09:57conference, yeah, I have to start looking at the product in the field to tell me what
10:01to believe.
10:01Because I can't just keep looking at the numbers and the math to believe.
10:04Because, yeah, sure, the wild card may seem hopeful, but the product that I'm seeing
10:08being put on the field is bad.
10:11It's not that of a playoff baseball team.
10:14Now, do I think they have a higher potential?
10:16And if they go six and three, will I start to kind of lean that direction and believe
10:20and say, OK, we're putting a better product in the field?
10:22Lineups start to change, inconsistencies with Cags and Carter go away, better managerial
10:28decisions?
10:28Yes.
10:29But I've got to see that because the math with the wild card, I'm just going to kind
10:32of wave away.
10:33I don't care.
10:34Would you be intrigued tonight if you saw the lineup and Cags was hitting third and Carter
10:37was hitting fourth?
10:38Would love it.
10:39That would be one small step for man.
10:41Yeah, that would kind of make me perk up a bit.
10:43Oh, OK.
10:44All right.
10:45Yes.
10:45I warn the text line.
10:46I am on acid.
10:47It's fine.
10:51I do see that.
10:52Dusty's on acid.
10:54Six and three and gaining three games.
10:56Yeah, you would beat Houston.
10:57You'd beat Texas.
10:58They're in front of you.
10:59So that's why.
11:00Yeah, you're assuming the teams above you will go three and six.
11:02Yeah, you would beat you.
11:03You would beat the Texas.
11:04You'd be one of the teams in front of you.
11:05Yeah.
11:06Yes.
11:07So, yes, that is the other thing to do.
11:08Look at it.
11:09Rain.
11:09No, this is this is crazy.
11:10You need to call Shamrock Hills and be like, hey, you have a golf tournament today that
11:13starts at one.
11:14What's the choice?
11:14What chances of us playing that?
11:16Zero.
11:16It is pouring.
11:18Yeah.
11:19Drive safe.
11:20Yeah.
11:2140 percent is as hundred right now.
11:27Look out for my shot, Carl.
11:31From the text line six and three.
11:33Put down the we.
11:35That's impossible.
11:37Impossible.
11:38Especially on a day like today.
11:40Oh, today's perfect.
11:41Good weed.
11:42Surfside day.
11:43But we don't need to talk about all that.
11:45Am I twins?
11:46Okay.
11:47Yeah.
11:48Am I a hater?
11:50Mac?
11:52Because are we over gassing?
11:54Mahomes is come back and glazing him because we know Mahomes is a badass, right?
11:59We've seen the knee in the side of the leg came back two weeks later.
12:02We've seen the ankle.
12:03Won a Super Bowl on one leg.
12:04We've seen this before.
12:05We have never seen Mahomes with an ACL, MCL injury or LCL, whatever it was.
12:10But we have seen evidence that other athletes are doing this.
12:15Daniel Jones is throwing at Colts OTAs less than six months after his torn Achilles.
12:21Yeah.
12:22Jason Tatum came back eight months after tearing his Achilles.
12:27Now, again, different injuries, but also significant injuries.
12:31Court sport Achilles.
12:32Hello, dude.
12:33Yeah.
12:33Okay.
12:34Crazy.
12:34Like, nuts.
12:35Kobe Bryant could barely shoot a free throw when he ruptured his.
12:41And you're seeing players come back quicker.
12:44Now, I know Mahomes' knee injury is significant and him being on the field OTAs is impressive.
12:49But, like, are they doing that with Daniel Jones in Indianapolis?
12:53I would assume so.
12:55Six months?
12:56Less than six months.
12:56And he's back throwing footballs on the field at OTAs.
13:00So, I ask, am I a hater for saying that maybe we're glazing Patrick Mahomes a little too much in
13:06Kansas City,
13:06that he's going to be back and that he's tough?
13:08And I'm not saying that he's not.
13:10I think he is a tough badass.
13:12I'm not saying that at all.
13:13I think his competitive nature outweighs his physical worry, if that makes any sort of sense.
13:18Like, I think if, you know, some people, like, dislocate a finger, they're like, I just can't do it.
13:22Whereas other people are like, hey, give me that wooden spoon, pop this sucker back into place, let's get back
13:26on the field.
13:27That's kind of been Mahomes' mentality.
13:28But are we underlining what the advancements in science is as opposed to what the tenaciousness is in these athletes?
13:38Because I think what Mahomes is doing is also impressive what Daniel Jones is doing and what Jason Tatum did.
13:43Totally.
13:44But it seems like it's just like, well, this is Mahomes.
13:46This is what he does.
13:47It's like, well, Mahomes never had this injury.
13:49This is what science and medicine has advanced in doing, that this is now the standard that you can have
13:54one of these injuries and be right back.
13:56You look at Eric B and me, you look at Eric Berry, Hodgkin's lymphoma, it was killing people 40 years
14:00ago, 30 years ago.
14:02Now it's like the man played football a year later.
14:06That gained a pound in chemo.
14:08Pretty crazy.
14:09So I don't know, am I a hater for having this sort of topic?
14:11No, I think when I read it first in the doc, I was like, oh, what?
14:15Get bent.
14:15Like, and Chiefs came out, you know, Chiefs fandom came out.
14:17And then you sit, you think about it.
14:19But I think it's both.
14:20I don't think you're completely wrong.
14:21I think there is glazing.
14:23I think there is a little bit of like, okay, guys, we need to chill.
14:26Because part of the topic in the discussion should be, you're right, should be about, hey, dude, we're seeing things
14:32in the medical world and sports that we've never seen.
14:35That's really cool.
14:36We're becoming into a new age where Achilles, I mean, you know, Dusty Achilles in basketball.
14:41You're done.
14:42You're screwed.
14:43Right.
14:43And let alone coming back nine months after and playing really well in the playoffs.
14:47And that's what Tatum did.
14:48You're seeing now, of course, Daniel Jones throwing.
14:50I don't think he'll play week one.
14:51Maybe I would be a little surprised by that.
14:53But either way, like he's out there on the field being able to throw.
14:56So I think it's a two-part conversation.
14:58Yes, Mahomes is built different.
15:00This is what he's doing is incredible.
15:02It is impressive.
15:03He's ahead of, you know, schedule, which Andy Reid hates that, by the way.
15:07He mentioned that yesterday.
15:08Who made the schedule was his comment on those sorts of comments.
15:11But yeah, which I love.
15:12That's a classic big red, big red quote.
15:14But no, I think you're partially right, too.
15:18I think a lot of it, I think, especially here in Kansas City, we're just going to, yeah,
15:21we're going to show up to glaze Mahomes.
15:23But yes, what he's doing is absolutely impressive.
15:25But the conversation should be broader.
15:27It should be about sports medicine.
15:29And I think somebody says, why can't both people be impressive?
15:32Because it's not just two people.
15:35We have seen multiple athletes that are coming back.
15:38I mean, I even go back to Terrell Owens or Terrell Owens in the Super Bowl.
15:42He had like one leg.
15:44Yeah, that was just willpower.
15:46Yeah.
15:47I mean, he wasn't missing the Super Bowl, and he still performed very well.
15:50He did.
15:50You look at Adrian Peterson, right?
15:52Now, he was apparently using deer antler spray, I guess, was like the rumor at the time.
15:56I don't know.
15:57I don't know.
15:58And I forgot about that.
16:00Yeah.
16:00You remember that, right?
16:01Oh, yeah.
16:02Blew his knee out.
16:03And he's like, he's back.
16:04It's like, what do you use deer antler spray?
16:06What?
16:07I guess it works.
16:08What the hell was that?
16:09Oh, we pissed somebody off, Mac, with the Luke Bryan song.
16:12Oh, no.
16:12Yeah.
16:13Luke, we got a Luke Bryan defender?
16:14Yeah.
16:17I'm sorry.
16:18Oh, my.
16:19Oh, my.
16:20Yeah, it says, wake up, coffee, camo, climb tree, wet line, 18, fish, hunt, golf, drink.
16:26That's the chorus.
16:26It's actually a song about summer and not worrying about your problems.
16:33Sorry.
16:34That song made me have problems.
16:37Yes.
16:38Hey, dude.
16:39Bro, that's great.
16:40If you like it, that's awesome, man.
16:41Have a great summer.
16:43That song sucks.
16:45Somebody brings up when Seth Rollins tore his ACL, he was back in six months.
16:49WB isn't the same as the NFL, but the use of your knee is.
16:52Has anyone come back in six months in the NFL?
16:56I also thought that that was fake.
16:59Because I remember he, like, kicked the – and maybe it wasn't.
17:02Maybe he did.
17:02I mean, they would probably know more than I would.
17:04But, like, that's why I just wonder about that.
17:07Like, because sometimes I have to stop and, you know, because a lot of people are like,
17:09oh, you just glaze the Royals and Cags and all this.
17:11And I do.
17:12And I got to work on that.
17:14But, like, also, like, when it comes to, you know, Patrick Mahomes, he can do no wrong in this city.
17:24Yeah.
17:24No, you've got to live outside the KC bubble sometimes and look out.
17:27And that's why it's nice having friends who aren't from here, too.
17:30And seeing, like, okay, are we just kind of being biased here?
17:32And I think there is a little bit of that.
17:33But, no, I think Patrick Mahomes, and to your point, like, you mentioned Jason Tatum again.
17:38I'm biased here.
17:39But, like, Tatum is another one of those guys who I believe is built different.
17:42So you're talking about two superb next-level all-time athletes, in my opinion.
17:48Now, the example that would break that is Daniel Jones is not in that tier, is not in that echelon.
17:53And he's out here six months after an Achilles looking like that.
17:58So, no, it's not just those guys.
18:00But I do believe Tatum and Mahomes are legitimately, like, different-level guys.
18:03Do you think Ken Walker was an addition more so because the team needed a running game or because Patrick
18:08Mahomes needs a running back because of the injury?
18:12Or can both be true?
18:13I think it's both, but I think running back was happening either way.
18:17I think running back was happening either way.
18:19And I don't think – yeah, I think that addition happens whether he's hurt or not.
18:25Because Mahomes, I assume, would have been pining for this move no matter the injury or not.
18:31We were pining for the move a day after the Super Bowl in a tiny little studio in New Orleans.
18:37Saying, all right, number one thing, get a running back.
18:41I think – I've never seen Pacheco and Mahomes, by the way, have that sort of, like, brotherly love.
18:46I'm not saying they didn't like each other.
18:47But Ken Walker, one OTA, you know, one-week OTAs, and they're out here bro-hugging, dapping each other up.
18:52Like, that relationship's awesome.
18:54I'm really excited about that.
18:55Because there are other, you know, outliers in the situation.
18:58Like, I don't know what Bo Nix is doing.
18:59If someone on the text line asks, like, you talk about these two quarterbacks coming back from injuries, what's Bo
19:02Nix doing?
19:03I don't know, but I assume he's probably rehabbing and will be back by week one.
19:07Because he's had this injury before.
19:09He'll be back by week one.
19:12Again, Kansas City bias.
19:13You can't do the, oh, week one, Mahomes will be back because they have him in primetime.
19:17Okay, great.
19:17Then Bo Nix will be back.
19:18I believe he will be.
19:19Yeah.
19:19They will have it primetime.
19:21Yeah, I think Chiefs-Broncos primetime will be Bo Nix versus Patrick Mahomes.
19:24Obviously, the narrative will be which quarterback looks better in week one coming off significant injuries.
19:29And who wants to take control of the division in week one.
19:32I think those are your two biggest storylines.
19:34Mm-hmm.
19:35They would not have that game if they didn't know.
19:37No.
19:37Then I'm going to have Jarrett Stidham versus Justin Fields.
19:42So, no, both those guys will play.
19:44Yeah, the medical advancements, if anyone's arguing against that, the medical advancements are incredible.
19:48For sure.
19:49Somebody said that, like, that they're using, like, sports medicine at Emporia State now.
19:56It says money drives medicine in this country.
19:58There are millions riding on these people.
20:00Sports medicine slash training is now a major at college at Emporia State.
20:04Oh, it should be.
20:05That's fantastic.
20:06I would probably sign up for that, but I don't know if I'd get through the courses with all the
20:09science and medicine.
20:10I'd be like, oh.
20:11A lot of school, yeah.
20:12I would just wear a periodic table shirt every day to class.
20:16Like, geek.
20:18Somebody goes, Adrian Peterson?
20:19He was quick.
20:20Thanks for listening.
20:22Very ahead of his time.
20:23Yeah.
20:24He was.
20:25Very, very much so.
20:26And then also behind his time with what he did to his child at the front yard.
20:29Jeez.
20:29Yeah.
20:30That's, like, where the – was that a belt or was that, like, a tree lip?
20:33It was, like, a –
20:34It was, like, a stick, right?
20:35It was, like, a stick, yeah.
20:36Brutal.
20:37Yeah.
20:38Oof.
20:38It was, like, a stick, yeah.
20:38It was, like, a stick.
20:38It was, like, a stick.
20:38It was, like, a stick.
20:38It was, like, a stick.
20:38It was, like, a stick.
20:39It was, like, a stick.
