The NFL is filled with some of the best athletes in the entire world. Does Jake Paul actually believe that he can compete in the big leagues or is he just trolling NFL fans?

00:00There is a battle of the petitions fallout from the World Cup.
00:04Okay.
00:05I don't even understand why these people are petitioning,
00:07but there are 60,000 signatures from Argentines.
00:15I think that's correct.
00:17Because they believe that the World Cup should be played again,
00:20that Argentina was hosed.
00:22Hold on.
00:23That the final should be played again?
00:26Yes.
00:26Okay.
00:27You think they're going to play the final again?
00:29The guy got the red card?
00:29Is that why?
00:30Probably the red card.
00:31Maybe some other things.
00:33To me, that's just sour grapes.
00:36And then on the other side of it, people hate Argentina now.
00:41There's a lot of Argentina hate out there.
00:43You could probably get a billion signatures against Argentina.
00:45Apparently, there are 23 million signatures from other countries around the world
00:50to kick Argentina out.
00:52I mean, this is just kind of random,
00:55but a dude that I met playing poker in Aruba from England,
00:59years ago.
01:01I don't keep in contact with him much,
01:03but every once in a while, there's a DM on Twitter.
01:05So I DM'd him, good luck to England today on July 15th.
01:09And he responded yesterday.
01:11I guess he hasn't checked Twitter a lot.
01:13He said, okay, just saw this.
01:16Shame we lost, but was happy that Argentina didn't win the cup.
01:20And that's just one British fan.
01:23And I'm sure that there's a lot of that sentiment going around.
01:27Like, if England isn't going to win, at least Argentina didn't win.
01:30Like, that's a real thing.
01:32That's the one thing that I noticed from it is, you know,
01:35not following these guys, you know, like in all of their Manchester United
01:38and Premier League stuff or whatever.
01:40But people do hate Messi.
01:41They love him, and then they hate him.
01:43He's very polarizing.
01:44Very polarizing.
01:45And there seemed to be a Ronaldo camp and a Messi camp,
01:47even though, you know, these guys are up there in years.
01:51I was stunned at the amount of Argentina hate.
01:54Yeah, I was a little bit taken aback by it, too.
01:56I did not realize that it was that big.
01:59Yeah.
02:00But it's clearly, there's clearly a sentiment.
02:03Like, people, unless you're pulling for Argentina, people hate Argentina.
02:07They hate Argentina.
02:07They do not want them to win.
02:09Yeah, they definitely didn't want them to go back to back.
02:10I don't know a lot about soccer.
02:12Soccer Cakes does not know a lot about soccer.
02:14But I do know that people hate Argentina.
02:16I didn't know if it was Messi-related.
02:18I know that the people that are dug in as Cristiano Ronaldo fans don't like him.
02:23I thought it was kind of just the team in general.
02:25Well, they think they get calls, and they get hooked.
02:27You know, all of that.
02:28The referees, the 12th man.
02:31Yeah.
02:31Their fans are also notoriously troublemakers.
02:36Right.
02:37You know, they say a lot of not says.
02:40They're also notoriously racist.
02:42Racist.
02:43Yeah, it's notoriously racist.
02:45That's why the rest of the world doesn't like them.
02:47Right.
02:48And then in the game itself, they were the team that appeared to me committing fouls and
02:53trying to be physical because they kind of knew that was what they had to do.
02:57Right.
02:57That was their way, their pathway to win.
03:00So, you know, speaking of soccer, I tweeted this yesterday.
03:03I had missed it.
03:04It had come out earlier.
03:05It was a 15-hour-old clip.
03:06But it was from the MLS from a couple days ago where this is Messi's team, Miami, where
03:15they're in their defensive zone, and the fullback just kicks it back to the goalie, and he whiffs.
03:21Yeah, it was an own goal.
03:23It's one of the worst looks.
03:24Like, on the heels of the World Cup.
03:26And listen, I get it.
03:27Our goalie played terrible in the World Cup.
03:29Like, terrible.
03:29There were some embarrassing plays from our goalie in the World Cup.
03:32But, you know, here we are.
03:34We got all this momentum from the World Cup.
03:35Like, the country embraced soccer so much.
03:38And I know the MLS is a second-tier, third-tier league.
03:41I understand it.
03:42I'm not stupid.
03:44I used to go to a lot of MLS games.
03:46But it's gotten better.
03:46It has gotten some better.
03:48And there are guys that play in the MLS that play in the World Cup.
03:50That is such an embarrassing look for the league.
03:53I don't think it would have happened on our co-ed team, EB.
03:55I mean, it's almost so bad.
03:56I mean, it's one of the worst things I've ever seen.
03:58You showed it to me yesterday before, like, we did the Bay Sox series.
04:01I was just sitting there stunned.
04:02And I looked at it, and I was like, it almost looks like it's AI.
04:05I know.
04:05Like, it's so bad, and it's so rudimentary.
04:08I mean, it's just a horrible look.
04:11It's unbelievable.
04:12It's not original that goalies aren't great with their feet.
04:14I get it.
04:15I'm very aware of where the MLS stands in the world.
04:20It's still shocking.
04:21You don't need to be great.
04:22Just be competent.
04:23It's just shocking.
04:24The level of incompetence.
04:25The problem is, it was the first match since the World Cup when the MLS tweeted,
04:31Thanks, world.
04:32We'll take it from here.
04:33Oh, that's brutal.
04:36I was like, that's Messi's goalkeeper.
04:38Oh, yeah.
04:38And that's going to get shared around the world.
04:41You think that clip isn't getting viewed a billion times?
04:43How can the league ever be taken seriously?
04:45And by the way, the league's been around for like 30 years now.
04:47It's a rough look.
04:48It's been around for 30 years.
04:50We're supposed to be at this pretty good level.
04:52Well, that's why we got that freeze donk as our starting goalie.
04:55He was an embarrassment.
04:56You got guys like this playing MLS.
04:58I guess that's why he's there.
04:59He's better than that.
05:00Wow, that is just bad.
05:01Bad all the way around.
05:03I just can't believe it.
05:05Happens.
05:07Although, I'm telling you, think about how many games we played on a super low level
05:11on weekends.
05:12That never happened.
05:13We played hundreds of games together.
05:15And I don't think our goalie ever just whiffed on a pass back.
05:19Believe me, in my later years, I graduated the goalie.
05:21I never did that.
05:23Come on.
05:24No, who knows?
05:25Who knows how that happens?
05:27Because you're saying, yeah, you get it, that goalies aren't the best with their feet.
05:32Of course.
05:32They actually are pretty good on a professional level.
05:35Well, I mean, they're usually reasonably competent.
05:38Yeah, usually those guys can juggle hundreds at a time.
05:42I mean, those guys have skill.
05:43They're making passes to their fullbacks with guys like two feet away from them.
05:48Well, he looks dicey often.
05:50I played the lowest level goalie of all time.
05:52If the ball came anywhere near me and I had to kick it instead of pick it up, I wasn't
05:57trying to pass it to my, you know, make a 12-yard pass.
06:01I was trying to boot that thing to midfield.
06:04I mean.
06:04I treated that thing like it was a nuclear football.
06:08You got to check it out.
06:09I don't know where the original clip came from.
06:12It looks like maybe Chicago Fire put it out.
06:14Who knows?
06:14I'll retweet you.
06:16But I retweeted it.
06:16Let me see.
06:17I got to go to EB Junkies.
06:18It's just, it's the most inept professionalism.
06:22Like, I just think you'll be hard-pressed to find in any sport.
06:25Football.
06:26I mean, maybe like a butt fumble, some people were saying.
06:29Yeah.
06:29Any sport.
06:30Find a more incompetent clip from a professional.
06:34It'd be hard to find.
06:36I mean, it would be on the same level of like, say, Jaden Daniels, like, bootlegged on the
06:41three-yard line and had just the easiest lollipop pass to Zach Ertz, who's uncovered in the
06:48end zone, and he just drops the ball.
06:50Like, from four yards away.
06:51I guess.
06:51I think it's even worse than that.
06:52It might be worse than that.
06:53I think it's even worse than that.
06:54It's probably akin to that.
06:57It's just so bad.
06:59It actually kind of reminds me of when Bryce Harper was walking through D.C. like his rookie
07:03or second year.
07:05Softball bit.
07:06There was a softball game, and he jumped in there, and they were literally throwing underhand
07:10softballs, and he was swinging and missing.
07:12Yeah, that's a pretty bad look for a professional baseball player.
07:16I thought that was a pretty bad look.
07:17I get it's different.
07:19I mean, he could, yeah.
07:19Not that different.
07:20His argument can be, look, I'm used to seeing balls coming in at 90-plus miles per hour.
07:25This EFAS pitch that you're throwing to me in a softball game on the mall, not really
07:29my thing.
07:30Not really what I'm good at.
07:32Yeah, I don't know what else.
07:33Maybe like a pro golfer just like swinging and missing.
07:36Yeah.
07:38Occasionally, you will see guys, if they have a bad lie or something, they'll top something.
07:41Yeah.
07:42Might even top a tee shot.
07:43You know, if they get a little out of sync.
07:45Maybe it's somewhat equivalent to that.
07:47But anyway.
07:49One of our loyal listeners, since we were talking about running without a shirt, is this guy,
07:52Kyle, who often will send us his runs.
07:59He's a guy who's done ultra marathons.
08:02Yeah, he's an accomplished runner.
08:03Ridiculous runs, and he tweeted, to you, Cakes, why don't you come run with me, Money
08:09Metal Cakes?
08:10I run without a shirt every day.
08:12And then he sends a picture, 15 miles in an hour and 53, 727 pace.
08:18Maybe if I had 3% body fat, I'm just guessing what he has, then maybe I would consider running
08:24without a shirt.
08:25But that's never really been the case for me.
08:27You wouldn't run without a shirt.
08:29Let's say you were at the beach.
08:30It's hot, and you want to go for a run.
08:31You're not going to run for a run on the beach, but it's a beach town.
08:34You're going to throw on some kicks, and you would always wear a shirt.
08:38I mean, I've done this, like I've run at Kiowa before, and every time I run, I put on shorts.
08:43Even if it's 100 degrees.
08:44Even if it's 100 degrees, but generally I would go out and run when it's like 7 in the morning
08:50before the heat really kicks in.
08:52Right.
08:52Which is smart.
08:53There's shorts, there are shoes, and I always have a tarp on.
08:58I'm not a tarp soft guy.
08:59I'm a tarp soft guy.
09:00Are they still doing the tarp soft bit?
09:01I think they're still doing the tarp soft bit at Nats Park.
09:04Yeah.
09:05That thing has gained steam.
09:06But it's not just Nats Park.
09:07It's kind of like across the country, right?
09:08Yeah, and Nats Park, they weren't the originators.
09:10I think it might have started in St. Louis.
09:12Right.
09:13And then it's just kind of spread.
09:15Right.
09:15I do think the only exception, the only time I do tarps off runs, when I go number two,
09:21that's my big exception.
09:23The only time I would do a tarps off run would be on the beach without shoes, just a little
09:30quickie on the sand.
09:32Yeah.
09:32I think that's acceptable.
09:33But if I'm running on the street, the sidewalk, any sort of combination, I always have a shirt
09:38on.
09:38Yeah.
09:39Okay.
09:39I love being at the beach.
09:41I hate running on the actual, like, sand and beach.
09:45Yes.
09:45Not a thing that I like.
09:46It's not great.
09:47Turns out you don't like going in the ocean very much either.
09:49When you went to Outer Banks, what is the deepest you got?
09:53I'll show you.
09:55Did water hit your belly button?
09:58Nope.
09:58Nope.
09:59Right here.
10:00That's it.
10:02Dude, it was cold.
10:04Yeah.
10:04It was really cold water in the Outer Banks.
10:07There were not a ton of people in the water.
10:10There were a few.
10:11There were a few psychotic people.
10:12You just got to go in and get, you just got to go in fast and then you get used
10:16to
10:16it.
10:16Look, my chair's sinking slowly.
10:19It's going down slowly.
10:20Yeah.
10:21I was, my wife and I both like to our ankles, maybe mid shin.
10:26That was about it.
10:27We went in the pool.
10:29We went in the laziest, laziest river I've ever been a part of.
10:32Where did you have the lazy river?
10:34At the hotel.
10:35Oh, because that's right.
10:36Because you stayed at a hotel.
10:37Holiday Inn?
10:38No, the Rodney Hampton Inn in Sweet.
10:39It was oceanfront.
10:41Corolla.
10:41Most people, when they go to the Outer Banks, they rent a house.
10:44That's kind of just generally.
10:45I was abused there for two days.
10:46I was about to do that, but then Amy suggested, let's at least look at hotels.
10:52Yeah.
10:52It was substantially cheaper.
10:54Way cheaper.
10:54Of course.
10:55Way cheaper.
10:55Well, I mean, a house is for 15 people.
10:58Yeah, it was just the two of us, so a hotel was perfect.
11:01Yeah, that makes sense.
11:01I just don't think of hotels when I think of the Outer Banks.
11:06Yeah.
11:07Dude, I might consider now.
11:08They've got a lazy river.
11:10I might go down there for a weekend.
11:11I mean, it was.
11:12The world's smallest.
11:13Who's the laziest person that I've ever encountered?
11:15I'm trying to think.
11:16Me?
11:17Yeah, he might be three feet away from you.
11:19Maybe.
11:20It was Evie of lazy rivers.
11:22Like, there was very little current in this lazy river.
11:25But it probably also was very small.
11:27It was relatively small.
11:28Right.
11:28So how long would it take to go around to do a lap?
11:32Oh, like a minute.
11:34Like, it was small.
11:34Oh, it was very, very small.
11:35Yeah, it was small.
11:36It was, like, basically a little bit bigger than the pool that was 50 feet away from it.
11:41And that was just a typical rectangle pool?
11:44A little bit bigger than that.
11:45But it was big enough.
11:47It didn't have any curves.
11:48It didn't have any architectural touches to it.
11:50It wasn't like Gilbert Arenas' pool in Great Falls.
11:52And his elaborate pool set up.
11:54I mean, to Hampton it.
11:55Yeah, it was fine.
11:56It was good.
11:57Hey, I mentioned a couple things that are universal on this show.
12:02And one is we're not into petitions.
12:05Right.
12:05Very much not into that.
12:06The other thing is, I know Cakes' reaction before we even play the clip.
12:09Yes.
12:10But you're very anti-Paul Brothers, right?
12:13Doesn't matter which Paul Brother it is.
12:16Their existence, look, they have their niche and people that follow them.
12:21But whatever they do, I'm not into.
12:25I'm not into their Pokemon collecting and their WWE and getting into fake fights with Tom Brady.
12:32Like, it's just not something that I consume.
12:35Right.
12:35Now, Jake Paul is the one that's the boxer.
12:38Okay.
12:38I'll never keep this straight, but it doesn't matter.
12:40Right.
12:41Even though Logan Paul did box and fought Floyd Mayweather.
12:44Logan Paul is actually a pretty darn good wrestler.
12:46Jake Paul is the one that has boxed for several years.
12:51He most recently got his face completely pummeled and his jaw pummeled by Anthony Joshua, who is a real heavyweight
13:02champion.
13:02Yeah.
13:03But literally ended his career.
13:04But Jake Paul now is talking about another venture.
13:07Here's what he's saying.
13:09Can you talk us through your plan to get to the NFL more?
13:13I mean, it's pretty simple.
13:14Just like when I started boxing, it's funny to see the tweet and the leaders out there, the non-believers,
13:19the naysayers.
13:20Shout out to Drake.
13:21I think there's a lot of super mediocrity in the NFL.
13:24A lot of not good athletes.
13:27A lot of people dropping passes on a consistent basis.
13:29I have better hands than them.
13:31I'm faster than them.
13:32I'm stronger than them.
13:33I work harder than them.
13:35Really, all it's going to take is just me, after boxing, practicing some routes.
13:40I have a couple teams and coaches that I've already talked to that are interested in bringing me on to
13:44the team.
13:45It's really going to be quite easy.
13:47Do you have a dream team you'd like to play for?
13:49I mean, I'd love to go to the Cleveland Browns.
13:51I've been a Browns fan my whole entire life.
13:53My mom is a diehard Browns fan, and I think they could use some good receivers over there.
13:58Number 17, Browns reserve the jersey now.
14:01I'm trying to think if I could gather up my entire 401k and bet against the guy.
14:06I mean, you probably could.
14:08That makes me hate him.
14:09I mean, I'm aware of this, but just when you hear him and he just thinks it's going to be
14:13so easy.
14:14He's 29 years old with basically no football experience.
14:18We're talking about Brandon Iyuk struggling, having not played in a year and a half.
14:22And we think this guy is going to just...
14:23I mean, his audacity and just brazen disrespect of guys who have been playing since they're five years old
14:31to try to make it to the NFL.
14:33How dare he say there are some not good athletes in the NFL?
14:36Are you insane?
14:38I mean, this is a perfect encapsulation of why I don't follow the exploits of Jake and or Logan Paul.
14:46I mean, they're just the worst of the worst.
14:49He's also lying.
14:50Do you really think any NFL coach...
14:55Now, he didn't say NFL.
14:56He said coaches have contacted him or he's been in contact about him joining their teams.
15:02That hasn't happened.
15:04There's no way.
15:05And then he's talking about catching passes, so he's going to be a tight end.
15:10There's no way he's a wide receiver, right?
15:12So tight end...
15:13How tall is he?
15:15He's 6'1", 200 when he's fighting.
15:18Chica Conquo, who we're talking about, 6'3", 240.
15:21Yeah, I mean...
15:21You think somebody that weighs 200 is going to line up as an NFL tight end?
15:26No.
15:27No, is he trying to talk about playing wide out, like wide receiver, or tight end?
15:31He just said catch balls.
15:33I'm assuming tight end.
15:34Well, I mean, he's way too small to be a tight end in the NFL.
15:36I think he thinks he could be a slot receiver.
15:38That's what I think.
15:40I think he thinks he could be a slot receiver.
15:42Do you know how covered he would be by, like, Amik Robertson?
15:45Well...
15:45Like, Amik Robertson would just bitch him right off the line of scrimmage.
15:51And he's not even that big.
15:53He wouldn't be able to beat that guy to make a catch in the league.
15:55Remember when Tim Tebow tried to make the transition, eventually, from the quarterback?
15:59And Tim Tebow is a phenomenal athlete.
16:00He just didn't work out at that level.
16:02He tried to make the switch to tight end, you know, at the very end there.
16:05And just got cut.
16:07And, you know, it was kind of embarrassing.
16:09He'd be a hundred times worse.
16:11I actually was thinking of Tim Tebow in another way.
16:15And I respect the hustle.
16:16Like, if he wants to try, go ahead.
16:19But when Tim Tebow transitioned to baseball, and he gave it a go, and he chased his dream,
16:25and it just didn't work out.
16:26It's just not that easy to all of a sudden, hey, I'm going to do this.
16:29Ask who was the guy that was here, Sammy Reyes, who was sculpted like a god.
16:35Guy looked amazing.
16:37And he had much better numbers.
16:38Was it Sammy?
16:39I forget his first name.
16:40Different name.
16:40You know who I'm talking about.
16:42He was like a Latino guy.
16:43He was like a Brazilian, maybe a Brazilian guy.
16:45I thought it was Sammy Reyes.
16:46No?
16:46It was like S-A-M-M-I-S.
16:49Okay.
16:49Sammy Reyes.
16:50Sammy Reyes.
16:51Okay.
16:51That's right.
16:52Yeah.
16:52I think you were right.
16:53Whatever.
16:53We all know who we're talking about.
16:55The rare times you were right.
16:55We talked about him for like two years about how he was developing, and it was going to be
16:59great.
17:00And then it just didn't work out.
17:01I mean, even a guy who's like a fifth or a sixth receiver, like who's going to be on
17:06the bubble for getting cut in a training camp for any NFL team, is a thousand times better
17:11at NFL football than Jake Paul would ever be.
17:15I mean, it's preposterous to even think about it.
17:17Or Jefferson or Traylon Burks.
17:19Like, think about how much more advanced they are at playing NFL football than Jake Paul
17:25could ever be.
17:25He literally thinks he's just going to run a few routes, catch a few balls, like, you
17:29know, with his brother throwing it to him, and then he's going to make the NFL.
17:32No.
17:33He's actually an insane person.
17:34Well, he also may just have a metagame that his deal is he's made millions off of YouTube,
17:41and so if he starts training in football and posting videos, people consume it, and he'll
17:45make money.
17:46Look, I respect his hustle that for years he trained in boxing, and, you know, he got
17:53decent, but he also compiled victories against Nate Robinson, basketball player, washed up
18:00MMA guys.
18:01No, as somebody said, he's an entertainer.
18:04He wasn't really a boxer.
18:05He's an entertainer.
18:06That's fine.
18:07If you want to consume that.
18:09But this idea that he's just going to step in and even get a look from the NFL is insane.
18:15Can we band together and just never consume his content?
18:20Will you join me, EB?
18:22I don't know if I can get JP, because JP seems like he's a Paul Mark.
18:26No, not really.
18:27He's a Logan Paul Mark.
18:29Well, I know.
18:29He loves his backflips.
18:31I would say this.
18:32Neither one of them do I think I've ever particularly sought them out, but when I see Logan Paul wrestle,
18:37I'm blown away at his ability.
18:39I mean, when Jake Paul fought Mike Tyson, right?
18:42We all watched that?
18:44Regrettably, yes.
18:44That was horrendous.
18:45Horrendous.
18:46I want however long that was of my life back.
18:50When I'm on my deathbed, when the death rattle is coming, I'm going to think to myself,
18:55I wasted 40 minutes of my life watching one of the Paul brothers fight Mike Tyson, who was almost 60,
19:01which was just a farce.
19:03The only thing I'll say is I do respect their marketing abilities, like their abilities to create something out of
19:10nothing,
19:11and what they've done, you know, from a marketing perspective, just creating this persona in this career out of nothing.
19:18I mean, I kind of respect that, but I have three words for the Paul brothers.
19:22Not for me.
19:26I can't make it any more simple.
