1. Introduction to Today’s Extra

In this episode of B&T Extra, hosts Bob, Tom, and Christopher delve into two major topics: the inclusion of flag football in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and the amusing debut of Oscar Mayer’s Weenie 500 race. Skipping over the usual advertisements and promotional segments, the trio engages in their characteristic humorous banter while unpacking these subjects.

2. Olympic Flag Football

NFL’s Approval and Format

The episode kicks off with a discussion about the NFL’s unanimous approval for player participation in flag football at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The hosts dissect the proposed format:

Roster Composition: Each team will consist of 10 players, with 5 players on offense and 5 on defense.
Team Representation: Six teams will compete in separate tournaments for men and women.
Player Limitation: Only one player per NFL club is permitted for each country’s team.

Notable Quote:

Tom: "NFL owners have unanimously approved player participation in flag football for the 2028 Olympics. A big mistake, says this reporter."

Debate on NFL Stars Participating

Bob and Tom engage in a spirited debate about whether current NFL stars, like Tom Brady, would come out of retirement to compete for an Olympic gold medal.

Bob’s Skepticism: Expresses doubt that stars like Tom Brady would join, citing their already illustrious careers.

Bob: "No. I stood by the little plexiglass window and just stared, trying to get someone's attention because I didn't know what to do."
Tom’s Optimism: Believes that players with the ego and drive, such as Aaron Rodgers, might be interested.

Tom: "He wants a gold medal for an Olympic gold medal. He's got everything else. Why wouldn't he?"

Regulations and Eligibility Confusion

The hosts clarify misconceptions about team compositions and player eligibility, leading to humorous misunderstandings about the rules.

Bob: "I thought each Olympic team was only allowed one NFL player."

Tom: "No, they're made up of... I know. That's not five players. And it's not Jimmy Joe Paul and Tom Brady."

Safety and Gameplay Concerns

They discuss potential safety measures and gameplay differences, highlighting questions about equipment like helmets and pads in flag football compared to traditional NFL games.

Bob: "Can they wear pads and do they wear helmets? They might wear helmets. I don't know."

Overall Sentiment

Both hosts agree that while the idea is entertaining, there are numerous unanswered questions about the implementation and practicality of NFL players in the Olympic flag football format.

Tom: "There these questions we have to find out."

Hosts’ Banter and Jokes:

Bob and Tom infuse their characteristic humor into the discussion, making light-hearted jokes about the absurdity and fun of the event.

Vehicle Naming Humor:

Tom: "We got the Chicago dog, the slaw dog, the New York dog."

Bob: "But it represents that part of the United. That may have been long, but it was boring."
Driver Speculations:

Tom: "I think Tom Brady's going to be the unofficial pace. I think he's in the backseat of the two-seater."
Race Dynamics:

Doggy style did it Doggy style did it Doggy style all the time. Okay, honey, thanks. I just had to get that down and. How can I help you? Hello. Here's some extra. This is Bob and Tom. Extra. Hello, Tom. I wasn't listening. Hello. How are you? Okay. Okay, good. We were just talking about. How did you say that? A little more dismissively. I was just wondering. I was thinking about Pat being in jail. Oh. Mouthing off to the police. But there. So there dreaming of it. Three guys in the cell with you. And there was a toilet once. Yeah, the silver toilet. Like, did you sit down or lie down? Silver. I stood. Yeah. Stainless steel. Like silver, though. That makes it sound. So it was a gold toilet. That could be the gayest thing you've ever said. It was silver. It was a silver toilet and it was a little dirty. Beautiful. Man. No. I stood by the little plexiglass window and just stared, trying to get someone's attention because I didn't know what to do. You have to call a. What? You're like a dog in a pet store. Yeah, I stood. I can't remember. Did I bail you out on that one? I can't even remember. No, the guy from the comedy club did. Joel. Yeah. Okay. Are we going to break down next to get to some sporting news? We can. Okay, what do you got? NFL owners have unanimously approved player participation in flag football for the 2028 Olympics. A big mistake, says this reporter. This reporter's opinion. And I have a question. The. Nope, I don't have an answer. The vote authorized the league to negotiate safety provisions, scheduling logistics with the NFL Players Association. And also next, the 28 in Los Angeles, 10 player Olympic rosters will be selected. It' five on five for your flag football. In case you're wondering, six teams each in separate tournaments for men and women. Only one player per NFL club would be allowed for each country. Five on five in a 50 yard field. So that would be half the size of your regular. And I'm in all honesty is. I'm not answering. Do you think you'll. Do you think you'll see Tom Brady. No. Come out of retirement? Oh, God, no. Why? Oh, because he wants a gold medal for an Olympic gold medal. He's got everything else. Why wouldn't he? He'd be great at it. I think I would. I mean, Aaron Brady, Aaron Rogers. Rogers has got the ego to. So what I. What I couldn't understand. I read this article several times that I couldn't quite figure out. So the entire roster of the team is 10 players, is that correct? Yeah. Five five players on offense, five players on defense. Okay. Yeah. Don't you think. No. You don't think any of the NFL greats will try? I'm going to say no again, and I'm not going to agree with you. Why don't we bet $1,000? Hang on a second. You know what, Tom? You've convinced me. Yes, I think. I think that. I think Tom Brady will be first in line. He wants a gold medal. Why is it a bad idea? Flag football in the Olympics? Well, you might as well give the USA the medal right now. Yeah. What other teams play around? You don't know? There might be a Samoan team in Cuba. Are they part of America? Jamaica will put a team together. Yeah. Of course there'll be a movie about it. Slow Runnings. It's the most growing Little League sport right now because parents don't want their kids playing contact. Do they test for. What's that stuff? That Hiawatha. What's that stuff called? The Roger Station. Ayahuasca. Ayahuasca. Ayahuasca. Ayahuasca again. Here's the quarterback. They test for steroids, but do they test for that crap? Here's the quarterbacks they have to choose from. Who would also like a gold medal. Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow. Baker Mayfield. There you go. I mean. Yeah. Or Tom Brady. And then the running backs. No, no, wait. I'm sorry. Quan Barkley. I didn't make myself clear. No, I didn't. If you're not an active NFL player, are you eligible? Could you have. In other words, could you have Tom Brady on the team as a non active NFL player and then have an NFL players? You're one. You're allowed one NFL player on the team, right? Each NFL team can only send one player to the Olympics. Okay, you've got it backwards. Oh, I thought each Olympic team was only allowed one NFL player. Oh, that. Okay. No, they're made up of. I know. That's not five players. And it's not Jimmy Joe Paul and Tom Brady. I think anybody should be eligible. Yeah. Be cool. You know, college players. Doesn't make any sense. Yeah, they're probably guys that are. You want to win a gold. You want to win a gold medal, but you want to have. There are probably some arena football players that deserve the shot at the Olympics, and there are probably some arena football players who would be better at. Yeah, I can't say this fast enough. Who, me or him? Him. Reading. A football player I do love. Do you think? No, how do you think. What are the parameters going to be for picking a player for the Olympic team of flag football? Wouldn't they want the best players? Ergo, the NFL, not the ufl. But it's a different game. It's a different grain game. There may be better players who aren't in the NFL. I. I disagree strongly. I. I read it wrong. I want some Disney movie to come out and I want. There's gonna be an accidental tackling you. Oh, Gus, the gold winning metal donkey. He could kick. That'll be good for us. How about that? Or a golden retriever. Yes. Yes. It's just gonna be part of the retriever. Yes. Golden medal. This is the. This is the summer games in LA and I don't think the 28 and the NFL is primarily a fall winter game. I don't think it should be in the summer. Nugget of wisdom. I don't think it should be an Olympic sport. But that's me. Nobody asked me. Nobody asked me about the sudden death rules. I think it's odd that the Olympic committee is insisting they call it Smear the Queer. I thought that was a bull. It seemed like a misstep. You didn't know that was. They've changed it back. Oh, okay. Yeah. Now what? What? Since it's in the usa, will the flags all be American flags? The flags are tearing off the waist. That flag. Flag football. They're a little plastic Velcro flag. Don't you think somebody's going to accidentally just get tackled so hard, the person's going to go into NFL mode. They're going to forget again. I'd like to continue asking stupid questions. They call it NFL mode when they get a head injury. Now I have more stupid questions. Can they wear pads and do they wear helmets? They might wear helmets. I don't know. But flag football as it exists now, they don't wear helmets. Some of them do. They're smaller kids. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Well, we don't know the answers to any of these questions. Well, you know the NFL, they don't wear knee pads or anything. Shoulder pads. I do love though that if this all began with Tom saying I have a question and Chick immediately saying, nope, no, I have a question. Nope, nope, nope. I know what your question's going to be. I just wonder if they're testing for Hiawatha. Whatever. I already asked you, however. Oh, he set us up for that. Yep. Jackie Mason esque humor. Hiawatha is a great name for a drug. I like that. The old hia. Oh, man. You. You got any hiawatha? Yeah, it does sound like a street thing. You got any big H? You got any big chief? There we go. Big chief. That's big chief. I need some chief, man. We're out of chief. I got the Hiawatha. I don't know why not chief. Make your dick fall off. Oh, okay. All right. Hey, hey, Josh. You can have some of this, but it's gonna make you fall off. You know, I think I'll pass. I'm just gonna get a six pack. Really down there to just cramp you up. Well, let's. Let's. We'll have to do some more homework on the flag football. Yeah, that's right. We need to find out these questions. And now let's get to the meat and potatoes. Oh, this is a whole meal. Yeah. Oh. Oscar Meyer's fleet of wiener mobiles are going to race head to head in the first Weenie 500 race. Wow. An idea. Who's way overdue. Well, keep going. There's a problem. Six hot dog shaped vehicles will make their racing debut at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway ahead of this year's 500. According to authorities at Oscar Meyer, the winner will receive a trophy at the Wieners circle. Wieners. Wiener's Circle. Along with a condiment spray and celebratory hot dog. If you've already bet on it, I just want you to know that they've had to reconfigure the grid because the Penske hot dog was caught gluing the condiments on. Oh, no. Yeah, they're gonna have to start in the back. Do we know who's driving the wiener mobiles? Is it former race drivers? Is it? Oh, yeah. That would be fun. I think. I think Tom Brady's going to. Isn't Tom Brady going to be. He's at the 500. He's going to be the unofficial pace. I think he's in the. Because Michael Strange something, right? He's in the backseat of the two seater. I think I drove by and I saw the six wiener mobiles. And wouldn't you know it, right next to him, 8 bun mobiles. Will they ever get that straight? Nope, apparently not. Man, oh, man. Can we agree that in the museum of jokes. I love. I've always loved that joke. It will never be hacked to me next to planes and. And cars or dogs and cats, L.A. and New York. Yeah. Very hack. Yes. The wiener mobiles are going to be driven by Oscar Meyer's hot doggers. That's what I want. Because these kids deserve this. Are the official spokespeople of the Wienermobile fleet. Yes. And you have to go through school to be able to drive the Wiener Mobile. Tom did this. I have driven the. I raced alonser junior and you cheated. You should. I didn't cheat. I just thought that the oval was out of shape, so I took a cut one of the corners. He still beat me. How fast were you going? Oh, 80, 90 miles. Think about, think about the Wiener Mobile. Wiener goes stability. How fast? Back in the day. No, right now I haven't lost anything off my fast. For Pat. It's more of a drag race really. Like a quarter mile trying to drag it out. No, no, no. They should have that quick. They should have you as a racing driver expert. Yeah. To broadcast It'll be Friday, May 23, 2pm on the Fox sports app. Yeah, it's gonna be on Carb Day and IndyCar on Fox and the social media accounts. You. You could be right there. Well, of course I have. In the day. You know, before they had the. The walls that were soft. We, we. We took the big risk, you know. Okay, I. I'll be driving the Buick. But wouldn't. Wouldn't part of who's in the offy. Wouldn't you want to hear or see the. The Wieners crash and see what happens? No, I don't want him to crash. Hot dog parts everywhere. Well, that's a shame that they put gasoline in the Eddie Sax Wiener. The most delicious tragedy we've ever seen. Oh my God. And Wieners go flying out on the track. In collaboration with DraftKings, fans can predict the outcome of the race by answering a series of race related questions@draftkings.com Weenie500. How fun. Those who pick up the most points will share a total cash prize of $10,000. They have to drink. Hoping on drinking milk. Milk and wieners don't go together. What do you mean a cola or a. Well, I mean when you win the Indy 500, you got the milk. Well, they said condimen. They said it would. They'd be okay. Yeah, they're going a mustard or. Yeah. You haven't ever had chocolate milk and a hot dog? Come on. What? No lovely summer treat. Yeah, yeah. You dunk it in there. No, no, no, no. I like in the summer is a hot dog and a nice hot Sprite as hot as coffee. Actually. I can't let this go. This story which was prepared for me by Tom. Correct? Yes. It says this is word for word in collaboration with DraftKings fans can predict the outcome of the outcome of the race. There's three outcomes there. See, a professional would have proofread it and realize that in my case now, by answering it says, you have to answer race questions. Right. They mean like, Indy 500 or they mean like ethnicity. Yeah. They want to know about less dramatics appearing on the Dick Gavin Show. The first question is, what race are you? You have to answer. They have four boxes. You have to check one. Happy now? He started it. Look at me now. We'll certainly look forward to seeing the. The Weenie 500, man. Yeah, that'll be fun. That's a great, great idea. That's been. Is it just one lap or do we know how far it's going to go? 500. 500 miles. Take all day. It won't be done till the start of on Sunday, but, yeah, it's well worth it. Well, he pulled into the pits. Got to put on a pair of fire stones. Took that probably just one lap, I would think. I would imagine. Yeah. At that speed, it's going to take a while. Yeah. There you go. You know, you're gonna. You're going kind of light on. Tom, you would rake me over the coals for not knowing how long this is and who's driving the wieners. I've learned names. Do you see it? It's. Yeah, we got the Chicago dog, the slaw dog, the New York dog. They're all different. They represent different segments of the country. Oh, that's fun. Oh, look, the San Francisco dog's going into a tight tunnel. Now it's backing up. Oh. Oh, that must be chili on the tip of the San Francisco dog. I hope it's chilly. Well, well, I made Tom laugh. Every once in a while, just when you think you can't reach a new low, somehow we do it. Christie's right. There's the chili dog. Christy is right. The New York dog, the slaw dog. Okay, you're gonna tell me here. The Sonoran dog. I don't know what that is. S O, N O, R A N. Isn't that a pepper or snoring? Oh, I don't know. Is there a Coney dog? I had a snoring dog, but then I gave it an apnea mask. What? Yes. No, no, a snoring dog. We got it. We got it. Then you did what? You gave a nap to him. What? I gave it an apnea mask. It seemed like a really long. Oh, a sleep apnea mask. Guys have to get better, because when I'm working at that high of a level. You see what it is. Here's the mistake you made. It is sleep apnea. So when you just say apnea, that's what you're. Oh, so when. If I just say apnea, nobody knows what the hell I'm doing. I did. I mean, we got it. I heard you. No, I thought you were saying you gave the dog a nap to take. Well, I know you can't hear and. Jess. No, no, unfortunately I did hear that. It's a combination of your misspeaking a joke that really just has once again in both concept and delivery. Not there. Do better. No, it is there. And tell you what a Sonoran dog is, please. Oh, yes, by all means, let's stop the comedy unique street food that originated in southern Arizona and northwestern Mexico. It's a bacon wrapped hot dog served on a borillo style bun. It's something no one's ever heard of. Pinto beans, onions, tomatoes and var. Various condiments. But it represents that part of the United. That may have been long, but it was boring. Did you say. You know. Did you say borijo? There's a Seattle dog which is served with a wet bun. It's often raining. It's a climate joke. You see? That was worse than his. It was worse. No, no. It was Delivery. Delivery at 10. Concept of 2. I'm still King Laugh 0. He won. That dog would have been nothing if I hadn't said San Francisco dog first. True. I just want the credit that I set him up totally. Whatever. Yes. I don't know what you're talking about. Sleep in front of him. I couldn't possibly get the context. Apnea. Is these the frat. The frat name. Frat nickname of the guy who fell asleep. They look. Can we all just dance them and took a bunch of compromising photographs they sent to his parents. Can we all just agree we all need to do better? Yes. Yes, we do. Oh, God. Yeah. We've been talking about this for decades. Now that we're back in agreement, let's regroup. Okay? Okay. So can you bet on this is what I want? Yes. DraftKings, you dumbass. What are you. What are you stupid? Even when you hear, you don't hear. So if I go to DraftKings and you son of a. You wrote it down. When did I stop being vice president? That's it for another Bob and Tom show.
