00:00Real or fake?
00:01I say a statement.
00:02You can text in and participate and let me know if it's real or fake.
00:08Tyler, let's start with you.
00:09Real or fake?
00:10The Astros need a significant starting pitcher to get to the playoffs before the deadline.
00:19Real or fake?
00:20Oh, I will say that is absolutely real.
00:22Nothing fake about that at all.
00:24You cannot be depending on Lance McCullers Jr. coming back.
00:27You cannot be depending on Christian Javier coming back.
00:30If they come back and they're great, that's a bonus.
00:32That's awesome.
00:33But right now, you have the Diesel Hunter Brown and Big Pete Lambert, basically.
00:39I mean, at this moment, with Eric Getty kind of falling off here lately.
00:42He had a better last start.
00:43That's true.
00:43He had a better last start.
00:44That's true.
00:44Sorry, Spence.
00:45But no, I'm going to say very real.
00:47If they want to make any kind of noise in October, they've got to trade for an arm,
00:51and a starting arm, to be specific.
00:52Significant right there.
00:53Real or fake?
00:54The Astros, Clint, need to add a significant starting pitcher to get themselves to the playoffs.
01:00I'm going to say fake because of the way you ended the question.
01:04To get to the playoffs.
01:05I think the American League is bad enough this year to where they can piece this thing together
01:14whether it's Christian Javier or Lance McCullers or Wisniewski or Ronel, O'Neal, Blanco, whoever,
01:23a combination of all of them, I'm sure.
01:25I think they can piece this thing together and at the very least get into that wild card, winning wild
01:32card spots.
01:33Yeah, so I think it's fake.
01:36Unfortunately, I think you changed the ending of that sentence to make it even be a threat.
01:41I think they have to add a significant starting pitcher.
01:44But to get in, no, I think the American League is going to let that happen.
01:48And these bats, as long as you've got Jordan in the middle of that thing, I think you can swing
01:53your way to our spot.
01:53I'm going to agree with Tyler and say real, and I think it's what he said there late is,
02:01and you've been on this too, Clint.
02:05It's almost the weight of, like, how long is Peter going to be able to do this?
02:09Is Peter going to be able to do this?
02:11Because right now, you know, I would have said fake because Spencer had been pitching at such a high level.
02:22And I felt like he had gotten started to get to a point of, I can depend on that guy.
02:27That's a top three of the rotation type of guy.
02:29Him, Hunter, maybe Pete, you know, maybe Javier can jump in.
02:34But now, like, I think this team, it's concerning who their second best starter is.
02:46And I'm even thinking to reach the playoffs, it's concerning if Spencer Arrighetti is still going to struggle.
02:53So I'm going to say real that that's got to be a priority for Dana and company to add a
02:59significant, like a Kikuchi, like they did a couple years ago.
03:03That's a significant.
03:04He became a top, towards the top of the rotation guy.
03:07I feel like they need to make another move like that.
03:10All right, Clint, real or fake, Caleb Williams will be viewed as a top five quarterback at the end of
03:17this season.
03:19Like Caleb Williams, love the Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams fit.
03:25Maybe one of my favorite OC play caller quarterback combos in the league in terms of just fun to watch.
03:33Top five.
03:34Top five in the entire NFL.
03:36You don't think he'll jump?
03:37You don't think he'll make the jump?
03:38I think he'll flirt with it.
03:39I think he'll be in the conversation.
03:41But I think when it comes down to it, you put the NFC and the AFC together, I think it's
03:46going to be hard to crack that top five.
03:48I mean, again, you've got the likes of Pat Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, obviously.
03:54I think Joe Burrow, if he can stay healthy.
03:57I do think that Buddy in Washington, if he can stay healthy, I think he has a year that's going
04:04to be hard to ignore
04:05because of his ability to run the football and throw the football.
04:07Haven't even mentioned Dak.
04:09Haven't mentioned Matthew Stafford, last year's MVP.
04:11I mean, I think you start rattling off those guys.
04:15I think it's going to be hard to crack that top five.
04:19But I do think he's in the conversation, and he'll be flirting with it for sure.
04:22But no, I think fake.
04:24I can't give him top five.
04:25Yeah, you'd have to say to yourself, who is in that top five?
04:33I think the three you named, Mahomes, Allen, and Lamar.
04:39Stafford.
04:40I think those three are definitely there until you see something different.
04:43I think the Joe Burrow injury, I think, opens the door for a spot.
04:48They have not been to the playoffs in a while.
04:51Although when he plays, though, they're really good.
04:53Yeah, he's really good.
04:54So maybe there's an opening there.
04:57Stafford.
04:58Dak.
04:59The age there.
05:00Dak.
05:00Drake May was second in the MVP last year.
05:03But although I feel like I think Caleb's better than him in my eyes.
05:10So, you know, there's an opportunity.
05:14From a system perspective, right?
05:16I mean, Caleb's got a huge advantage over a lot of these guys.
05:19I mean, he's even got an advantage over like Josh Allen.
05:21You know, Josh Allen, I mean, look, I love Joe Brady.
05:23I think he's a really good offensive mind.
05:24But I think he's going to do.
05:26There's Herbert there as well.
05:26I think he's going to do.
05:27Yeah, good call.
05:28I think he's going to do what's smart, right?
05:30I think he's going to.
05:31Talking about Josh Allen and Joe Brady and Buffalo.
05:35I think they're going to be boring and run the football a lot.
05:38And so I think just by their approach, I think it's going to leave the door wide open for Caleb
05:44Williams and Ben Johnson.
05:45You know they're going to be sexy.
05:46You know they're going to be exotic.
05:47He's got to be better year two.
05:49You would think in that system, like learning that.
05:51Yeah.
05:51And I'm going to tell you, Ben Johnson is not – he doesn't shy away from, hey, man, I'm going
05:56to build this thing around Caleb like you ain't never seen it.
05:58I mean, he doesn't shy away from, you know, changing his ways to fit his quarterback one bit.
06:03So I really like him.
06:04Tyler, real or fake?
06:06Joey Chestnut, who just won his 18th hot dog eating contest title with 66 hot dogs eaten.
06:14You're still impressed by him every year, real or fake?
06:17Yeah, I mean, to some degree, that's real.
06:19I mean, he not only wins it year in and year out, he does it by a pretty wide margin
06:24most of the time, I want to say.
06:2618 in the last 20 years, that big old mouth gullet.
06:30Yeah, it impresses me.
06:31All them wieners.
06:32I'm going to tell you, boy.
06:33I think it's one of the dumbest things that we do.
06:36Guzzling glizzies.
06:37It absolutely disgusts me.
06:38And it's not even the fact that he's shoving wieners in his mouth.
06:42It's just, I mean, you, like hot dogs, just shoveling as many hot dogs as you can down your, down
06:49your, and the bun, the wet bun, the whole thing is just.
06:53I know 4th of July is his time, and it's, like, slid itself into, like, the sports kind of realm
07:03of things.
07:04I think it is the dumbest thing that we talk about.
07:08I don't want to say the dumbest.
07:09Top five, like, that gets included in the sports.
07:14It's just so, it's like.
07:15He's the MJ of eating wieners.
07:17He is, he is, but I just, I'm just like.
07:20The Gretzky.
07:21I feel like they, I feel like that should be a Food Network bit.
07:26The Tiger Woods of Glizzy Goblin.
07:28He's all of it.
07:29He is, he's great.
07:30Tyler's rolling, man.
07:31It's just, it just doesn't do anything.
07:34It does, it has never done anything for me.
07:37I, like.
07:37The Pele of sausage swallowing.
07:39If I did not work in this business, I would not.
07:43That's a good one, the last one.
07:44If I did not stall in to see if you could come up with some more.
07:45But if I did not work in this business, I would never know what he's done.
07:50I would not check up on it.
07:52When I see that Nathan stuff, move right past it.
07:55Every time.
07:57I damn sure he gets attention.
07:59He's Adele Earnhardt and Richard Petty.
08:02You don't have it.
08:03I don't have another one.
08:04Damn it.
08:04You had the king.
08:06I didn't have more wiener analogies.
08:07Yeah, you didn't have.
08:08You didn't have, yeah.
08:10Yeah.
08:11I wonder if he prefers his wieners boiled or, like, grilled or what.
08:15Coming up.
08:17Coming up.
08:18Team USA lost last night.
08:20And it got their asses just absolutely crushed.
08:23And I'm curious from our audience and my two guys that I think, hell, I think we all fit into
08:30the casual soccer fan boat.
08:33Like, Clint's even less casual than the rest of us.
08:36But, but was last night it?
08:41Did last night conclude your watching of the World Cup?
08:45Or are you still hanging in there?
08:47We'll discuss that coming up then.
08:48I want to give that sausage a whirl.
