This is an I Heart podcast.
Eddie
Nourishes like a smoothie and sizzles like a smash burger. Easy to pick up and hard to put down. Made from plants and grills like beef. See, it's not. Or it's. And. And that's what I love about impossible. Just this weekend, a couple impossible burgers. Put them on the grill. Boom. Felt like I was having a cheat meal without the feeling of the guilt of a cheat meal. It's not just burgers. They got hot dogs, chicken. Everything you need for your summer menu. Look for the impossible red packaging at your local grocery store.

Reed
This is a podcast called 25 Whistles. Talking for. And they all wear a whistle. Yeah, it's stupid, but what did you expect? It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.
Eddie
25 Whistles. Welcome, Eddie boy. Couple things. Number one, Reed is in studio today. I'm getting a divorce, guys.
Kevin
I'm coming back.
Eddie
I'm coming back. Getting a divorce.
Brandon
He's been waiting for that one.
Eddie
Why are you here?
Kevin
That's a good question. Just to show you guys that I was coming back.
Reed
That's the only reason?
Eddie
That's the only reason.
Kevin
That's the only reason. No, I really did want to see you guys.
Eddie
No, what's the real reason?
Kevin
That was literally it.
Eddie
Well, then why weren't you more intentional about it?
Kevin
You know, I probably should have been. We could have planned something out. I'm staying at Dawson's. Literally, all my stuff is still there. Like, my bed is still there. I still have, like, half my clothes.
Reed
So he's ready for a divorce just in case.
Eddie
Okay, well, Reed's here, so we'll come back and talk some read in just a little bit.
Brandon
Talk some read?
Eddie
Yeah. And if you don't know the show, I don't want to make you have to hear a whole bunch about some guy's personal life that you don't know. But we'll give her a chance to dial out later when we do that for sure. Your shirt looks good, though.
Kevin
Oh, thanks, man.
Reed
He says he's still on island time.
Kevin
This was a honeymoon shirt. But it's also just a nice comfortable golf shirt, you know?
Eddie
Did you play golf?
Kevin
No. I wanted to. Are you. Am I gonna play? No. Urgent. Here now.
Eddie
What are you doing while you're here then?
Kevin
That's also a good question. I haven't figured that one out yet.
Eddie
Why can't you play golf?
Kevin
I didn't bring my clubs.
Reed
Wait, I have an extra set.
Eddie
He's. Now he's left handed.
Reed
Yeah, I don't have an extra set.
Eddie
I have an extra set. Okay. Anyway, good to see you, Reed. What's going on here?
Reed
I don't understand.
Eddie
I made a list of things to talk about that had nothing to do with Reed. So let's do some of those. The question is, what team do you hate the most because of the love for your own team? I think that's different than just what team do you hate the most? Because we'll do both versions of that. What team do you hate the most because of the love for your own team? So with me, Arkansas doesn't have a supernatural rival. They try to make Arkansas, Missouri rivals.
Reed
We're not rivals because the states touch each other or something. Is that it?
Eddie
Yes. And there's a trophy.
Reed
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
And you know, it's called, like the battle line and it's a rivalry. Weak game, proximity, all that forever, and we still have it. There's the boot, which is the Arkansas, lsu, because those states are also connected. It's like we have trophies with states above us and below us. But we don't really have a natural, like, super rival. So if I were to hate a team because of Arkansas, it's probably like an Ole Miss. And I really hate Ole Miss for football, like basketball. I don't even really hate Kentucky fans. Although they're wildly sensitive. It's unbelievable how sensitive they were about being. I would rather be the number one most annoying fan base and the number three most annoying fan base. Like, they didn't even take pride that they got number one. They just wanted to cry. Yeah.
Reed
Yeah.
Eddie
So. So maybe Kentucky basketball, because there's actually been some games that mattered and we stole our coach and Nolan Rich back in the day. But I would think if it's football, which is where 63% of my mind lives, it's probably going to be Ole Miss because of the proximity games. Sec, Arkansas, Ole Miss.
Reed
What about Texas? Like, does Texas.
Eddie
I hate Texas because of that.
Reed
I know that.
Eddie
But we didn't get to play them for a long time. But I Hate Texas. That's. That's the answer. It's Texas.
Reed
Does the whole state feel that way?
Eddie
Everybody hates Texas because they're bigger than us and they're richer than us, and they win more than us because they have more money than us. So you hate your big brother. Yeah, that's the answer. I'm glad you said that.
Reed
But you guys like the Cowboys because.
Eddie
Jerry Jones is a former Arkansas player has nothing to do with Texas.
Reed
Okay.
Eddie
Proximity helps. They're close. I should take that back. It probably helps a little bit. It's Texas. It could have easily been Kansas City, proximity wise. It could have easily been. But Houston and Dallas are kind of close, so it could have been, like, the Oilers.
Reed
Nobody likes Houston, dude.
Eddie
Okay, but I'm just saying there were other. The Saints. Like, there are proximity teams that Arkansas could have picked, but their owner is a former Arkansas Razorback football player who won the last national championship with Arkansas football. And so that's a big part of that. But proximity is a part of it. But, yes, the answer is Texas. You're right. It's Texas. We just didn't play them for a long time. But we hate them. Not because any games have mattered. We just hate them because they were bigger and better than us. Southwest Conference days, they mattered more. But I was like, two. I hate the Cardinals because the Cubs.
Reed
Right.
Eddie
So baseball. That would be it. That's why.
Reed
That's a rivalry that goes way back, Man.
Kevin
Cardinals are the best.
Reed
Dude, I forgot. He's a Cardinal now.
Eddie
He's not a Cardinal. He lives in the same town. But when you get to be an adult, that relationship changes. Because we went to work out with the Cardinals and I wasn't like, I can't be here. I would have trouble putting on a Longhorns shirt or jersey. If we did too much access or we went over, I would have trouble. I think I would still possibly. That'd be tough.
Reed
I remember we were doing stuff with, like, a radio station, and their symbol was almost like the horns up.
Eddie
I'm not doing that.
Reed
No. And it didn't even mean the Texas Longhorns. It meant, like, it's a bull 101 the horn, you know, like, no chance.
Brandon
I respect that.
Eddie
No chance.
Brandon
I respect that.
Eddie
I'm not having that picture taken out of.
Reed
Right.
Eddie
Yeah, I respect that. Yeah.
Brandon
You can take that and run with it.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah. Texas. It's a great point. Kevin, what team do you hate because of your team?
Brandon
I mean, the Yankees are the obvious answer, but that's more of the rivalry. Itself.
Eddie
That's why, like, you're a Red Sox fan.
Brandon
Yeah, that's a good reason. And then in football, I would say the Colts because, I mean, I can't stand the jets, but the Colts, because of all those years with Manning and Brady, of course. And then the Deflategate, and they always, like, every time they beat the Patriots, they think it's a Super Bowl. They won the super bowl for, like, 20 years. And so that just, like, built up a hatred for me.
Eddie
Yeah. The two biggest quarterbacks in the game playing each other a lot of times in the AFC Championship game or in the. In the playoff. Yeah, that's. That's a big part of it. Yeah.
Brandon
But the Yankees, by far, number one. By far.
Reed
People love to hate the Yankees. A lot of Yankee haters.
Eddie
But do you know why? Because they're the biggest team with the most money.
Reed
I get it.
Eddie
And they've won the most championships. Everybody hates a winner.
Reed
Was it disrespectful when there's the Subway Series and the Mets had the pinstripes like the Mets can't have.
Eddie
I'm not close enough to the New York situation to be insulted. I don't know. I don't know.
Reed
I mean, I wasn't insulted. I just felt like.
Eddie
But a lot of teams have pinstripes.
Reed
Yeah, but the Yankees are known for their pinstripe uniforms.
Brandon
So you're saying they can't wear them against the Yankees.
Reed
It's just like. It was almost like they did it on purpose. Like, all right, we're going to wear this jersey. And I've never seen that jersey before, but it's like, Mets, pinstripe.
Eddie
Yeah. I guess I'm not close enough to New York to care now. But everybody hates the Yankees. The reason everybody hated the Patriots, the reason we could do this. The reason everybody hates Duke.
Reed
Sure. Because they win.
Eddie
Because they win. The reason people are starting to hate the Chiefs. And the Chiefs aren't even hateable.
Reed
They're not?
Eddie
No. The only time you hate them is if they're, like, starting to be better than your team. Like, if you're a Patriots fan, I understand why you'd start to hate them. Eddie, what team do you hate because of your team?
Reed
It's seasonal, Right. With the Cowboys, like, sometimes it's the. The commander, sometimes it's the Giants. But, like, I think consist the most, it's the Eagles because their fans are just loud. They're loud. They rub it in your face. They're just annoying. I don't know. Well, like, one of Them punched another dude, like, for no reason. Just because he was, like, wearing another jersey. Like, that's just crazy. And there's Eagles fans. And what's so stupid is, I don't know, six years ago, my brother moved to Pennsylvania. He's from Texas. We're all born in Texas. We all like the Cowboys, but he's lived there for five years or whatever, and now he's an Eagles fan and just pisses me off. Oh, man.
Eddie
Like, dude.
Reed
And I know he had a stroke and everything, and so I give him a little bit of grace.
Eddie
Maybe they changed him.
Reed
Give him a little bit of grace. But he'll, like. When I see him, he'll wear the jersey and everything, and it's like, dude, stop it.
Eddie
What team do you hate for no reason? This is good, because I think mine would be Miami, like, the Hurricanes. And I don't hate them. Like, I root against them, but I have no. Like, yeah, because. And I think the reason is because I could pick, like, a Tennessee, but I'd have a reason, because we played them and we've. They beat us in, you know, 99. We. We were undefeated. They were undefeated. We've had big games. There's a reason for me to not like Tennessee. Proximity, same conference. They were our constant for a while, meaning they were in the SEC east, but they were the team we play every year, so there was a history. There was a reason to hate them. I have no reason to dislike the University of Miami, except they still think that they're awesome, and they haven't been awesome in a long time. Like, that brand to them still exists. It's almost like Nebraska fans. But I don't hate Nebraska fans because they're in the middle of America and they're super nice. I feel like Nebraska fans are generally really nice.
Reed
Like, they're good people.
Eddie
Yeah, I feel like that maybe just because of, like, Omaha steaks and stuff, I don't know. But I feel like Nebraska and Miami have a distorted view of what the rest of the country feels about them. Because I think Nebraska fans and Miami fans think the rest of the country goes, dang, we got to play Nebraska, or, dang, we got to play Miami. Those are legit. Nobody feels that way anymore.
Brandon
And Miami's way worse than Nebraska.
Eddie
And, yes, and Miami had a good year last year, but even they choked. Yeah. So mine's Miami because of that reason. I think they have an inflated sense of worth and an inflated sense of brand, and they were awesome back in the Gore days when they had, like, 10 NFL.
Brandon
Yeah. Andre Johnson.
Eddie
Yes.
Brandon
Jeremy Shockey.
Kevin
We could do it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Brandon
Jonathan Vilma, Ray Lewis. All of them.
Eddie
Yeah. Mine's Miami. Kevin.
Brandon
Mine's probably Oklahoma. I apologize to your in laws and that whole family. But growing up, I feel like they were always overrated when I'd watch them, what was it, the national championship, like, 20 years ago? And Jason White at quarterback. And they got blown out by it. Might have been Miami, actually. I can't remember exactly who it was, but for some reason, I just felt like they were always just overrated and they really weren't that good. But you'd hear Oklahoma, Oklahoma, Oklahoma. And then big games. They couldn't get it done. So that just always drove me nuts. Until this day. I just like watching them lose for some reason.
Eddie
You know, they say the enemy of your enemy is your friend. And that's kind of why I never hated Oklahoma, because they were the enemy of my enemy, and my enemy was Texas. I hated Texas so much. And you know who hates Texas? Oklahoma.
Reed
Oklahoma. Oh, yeah.
Brandon
More than you, maybe.
Eddie
Yeah. Yes. They play their rivalry game. They split the field in half. They meet in the middle. Yeah. But everybody hates Texas, so I never really hated Oklahoma. They were close and they won. And they had a bunch of Heisman winners.
Brandon
Yeah.
Eddie
So we'd possibly be jealous of their success playing in a lesser conference, too. It's like, all right, you guys play in the freaking Big 12. Like, come to the SEC and play some real games. That was kind of the sentiment, So a little jealousy. But they hated Texas, so. You know what? I was down with OU when I married my wife. That was tough because it made me not like OU even more at first.
Brandon
Reverse psychology.
Reed
Explain that.
Eddie
Because all it was was ou. Oh, you. Oh, you. We're so good. Oh, we just won the Big 12 again. Oh. And I was like, I can't take this. You guys think you're hot stuff, huh? I don't mind them now. Actually. I root for them with my wife now because I know how much it means, like, her family, like, her dad loves OU and lives and dies with them like I do with Arkansas, week to week. And so since there's an appreciation for him, I have an appreciation for his love of that team. But, yeah, when we first started, like, dating and then got engaged, I kind of went a little negative on OU just because I was, like, in the middle of it, and they were just like, look at us.
Brandon
And you were just by yourself.
Eddie
Like, yeah, we sucked. We sucked. No doubt we sucked. We were very mid and below Middle. But I was like, if you came over to where we are, you would be mid and below mid, too. And they were, yeah, you're playing Kansas and get me by Kansas every year. And that got me. But I don't feel that way anymore. Now I root for it because I root for them to feel good more than I root for Oklahoma.
Brandon
Does she root for Arkansas or do they. The family?
Eddie
No, I think he does. He roots for Arkansas now because he knows how much it means to me. I think that relationship's the same, but in softball, my brother in law coaches on the Arkansas softball team, so they root hard for Arkansas there, I think. And I'm not sure, but I would bet that if Arkansas and Oklahoma and they did play, I think they're rooting for Arkansas because family over whatever relationship.
Brandon
In softball?
Eddie
Yes, in softball.
Brandon
Okay. Not in football.
Eddie
No.
Brandon
Okay.
Eddie
If he was coaching the football team. Yes.
Brandon
Maybe he can go in for one game.
Eddie
Yeah. So, okay, Oklahoma.
Reed
Eddie, this is recent. I'm going to go college basketball. UConn. There's something about UConn that I just cannot stand.
Eddie
It's Hurley.
Reed
Maybe it's Hurley.
Eddie
It's the winning and it's Hurley because we wouldn't know that Hurley was like that unless they won.
Reed
He's so annoying, cocky and annoying that every time UConn plays, I'm like, I'm betting against him. I can't stand that team.
Eddie
And.
Reed
Yeah, but. But it changes, Right? But like, recently, that's the one for me.
Eddie
He's. I don't know. I wouldn't say he's cocky.
Reed
He's cocky, but I think you're.
Eddie
I think cocky has a connotation of you're not as good as you're portraying.
Reed
Right. Like, you're cocky is like the best coach ever.
Eddie
But I think your cockiness to me is you are making up for something you're actually lacking inside.
Reed
Oh, really?
Eddie
I feel like he's. He's elite. You can be arrogant, so very arrogant. And. And they're almost the same. So we're playing a semantics game here for sure. But I feel like there's arrogance with people that are amazing. There's cockiness with people that are good, that are trying to act amazing. That would be my association with those words. But I don't. I don't think that's universal. But yeah, I hear you. They're annoying. It's annoying to watch him just yell.
Reed
Yes, man, press conferences.
Eddie
And. And then I wonder how much of this is he doing because he knows it's Marketing.
Reed
None.
Eddie
Oh, I don't believe that. I believe some of it is.
Brandon
Yeah, but he wasn't really like that until he started winning.
Eddie
I believe some of it is.
Reed
I don't think you can be like that until you start winning.
Brandon
But even when they got knocked out the year or two before they won the first championship, he was like, you better get us now. And we're like, okay. And then they just won two championships in a row.
Reed
Yeah.
Eddie
I believe at the core, that's who he is, but I think he plays it up some because he knows what works now.
Brandon
Yeah.
Eddie
And what Translate. Yeah. Yeah. We missed it on Monday. As soon as we finished the show on Monday, I saw the video, so we can just talk about it. So it's been days and days now, but I'm glad it's been days. But the video of the fight on the golf course.
Brandon
Oh, my gosh.
Reed
I love it.
Eddie
So it's been out for days. No, it's not breaking news. But what we know now, which we didn't know if we were doing this show on Tuesday or Wednesday, is that the guy was a freaking hockey player. An enforcer. A literal enforcer.
Reed
The. The big. The big dude.
Eddie
NHL player. An NHL enforcer with over. With over a hundred fights.
Brandon
Oh, my goodness.
Eddie
So if you haven't seen the video, at first it was just. I don't like fight videos. I don't like to watch them. I like seeing people. This. This one's hilarious. Oh, it's great, because it feels like a cartoon. And the little guy's like, come on. So now there's more backstory to it. I'll go from the beginning. You see these two groups of golfers chirping at each other. And what had happened was there's a group in the front and there's a group in the back. And the group in the back wants to play through because the group in the front is playing so slow. The group in the back's like, we like to play through. And they get mouthy. Well, then go faster then. And then they start this case, obviously drunk.
Reed
Obviously.
Eddie
And he goes up on the tee box, and it's like, just so slow.
Reed
He even, like, sits down.
Eddie
Yeah. And so the funniest part to me is the friend of the guy that whoops his butt, because the friend's like, I got this on record. We're recording. We're recording it.
Reed
He was the friend of the guy that got beat up.
Eddie
No, he was the friend of the guy that did the beating.
Reed
Got it.
Brandon
He knew it was coming.
Eddie
He knew it was coming.
Reed
I didn't know it. I didn't know that.
Eddie
And even the big hockey player guy was like, don't do this, Right? He was like, don't do this. Yep. And so he stands up, the mouthy drunk dude charges the big dude.
Reed
No, he didn't charge. Hey. At first he roars.
Eddie
Well, first he stands out by. He takes his glasses off, he lays them down. He's like, you want this? Let's go, let's go. My favorite thing is the big dude, though. He goes, I'm gonna throw you in the lake. He tells him, he warns him, he said. And the little guy charges him. Because the big. The hockey player never went and aggressively went after the small dude. All he did was say, can we play through? Then he got mad because they were being douchebags because they were playing so slow. Then the dude's like, if you want to come on. Charges the big dude. Big dude showed a lot of restraint because he grabs him and throws him in the lake.
Reed
Hilarious.
Eddie
He takes him on like a 15 yard walk.
Kevin
That's incredible.
Eddie
Chucks him in the lake.
Brandon
And he told him he was going to do it.
Reed
He did it.
Eddie
And so then the guy. The guy gets up and all I think is like, mighty Mouse, like little Mighty Mouse gets out of the lake and like, he's wet, but he's like, let's go. And so he go in this. I didn't know he was a hockey player at first, but it looked like how hockey players fight 100%. Because he grabs that collar of the shirt and then first of all, he holds him like hockey players do. And then he's calling his shots, going, bang, bang. He's yelling, bang. Every time he punches him in the face, bang. Almost like he's done a lot of times before. He's giving us sound effects like 1960s Batman.
Brandon
Pow.
Kevin
Bang. Radio bang.
Eddie
Every time he pulverized him, he yelled, bang. And so the dude's down again. The dude gets up. Dude, just stay down.
Reed
Stay down, dude. You're already beat.
Eddie
Stay down. I know you're drunk. Stay down. Comes up again. Dude takes him again. Just chunks him to the side again. Also, what made it funny because I don't like fight videos was the Bulls intro music that they played the very first time.
Brandon
Oh, I didn't see that one.
Eddie
Yeah, it was underneath it. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. That and the bang, bang, bang. It was so funny that I wasn't uncomfortable watching it. And then you find out later, which we didn't know. Tuesday. I didn't. He was an NHL player, had over 100 fights. He was literally an enforcer. He did. He tried not to fight.
Brandon
Yeah.
Eddie
That friend of the fighter was like, don't do this. And the guy did it anyway. And then he got bang, bang, banged.
Reed
But he was on record, though.
Eddie
And he. But he. He was recording it so his buddy wouldn't get in trouble because the guy could have been like, he attacked me.
Reed
Yeah.
Eddie
But he's like, he didn't. I got it all here on record. You want to hear some of the bang, bang, bang. Reed, have you not seen it? No, I haven't. Okay. Yeah. Please.
Kevin
You guys need to get off the golf course.
Eddie
You're not scaring anybody. Come on, man. I told you, man. Leave him alone. You want another?
Brandon
Hey, leave him alone, man.
Reed
Come on, man.
Eddie
Get out. Get them the out of here.
Kevin
Oh, my God.
Eddie
He was banging. As he was banging. It was hilarious.
Brandon
And he was big, big dude.
Eddie
If the guy wasn't. The little guy wasn't drunk, I think he would even been like, I shouldn't do this. Yeah. He does a whole Broadway production before he charges him. You want it? You want to take his glasses off?
Brandon
He sets it down too. That's the best part.
Reed
You know what was cool about watching that video is when I first saw it, I didn't know who was going to win, so I really didn't know. I thought at first just by watching, like, this guy's. This guy's out of his mind. Like, this dude, the tattoos, he has a chance of winning this fight. I would have lost money on it.
Eddie
They never really show how big the guy is. Right. The hockey player. As it's happening, where they're like, still. They just wise banging.
Reed
Yep.
Eddie
And they're moving around, so it's kind of hard to get a get. You can tell he's much bigger. And you can tell the one guy's little.
Reed
Yes.
Brandon
I mean, as soon as he. I heard the Canadian accents and he grabbed his collar with one hand, I was like, it's over.
Eddie
This is done. He hockey fought him before. We knew as a hockey player, I literally same heard the accent.
Brandon
Yeah.
Eddie
I thought that's just how Canadians fight. So then I thought that's why hockey players fight that way because that's just how Canadians fight.
Reed
Apparently it's like. Like Irishmen, you know, they do like.
Eddie
Yeah, put up your duke. Yeah. Oh, my. All right, we're going to take a break. Take a break.

Eddie
Okay, so I want to play this clip. And this is a baseball game, and there's a storm happening, and a big lightning strike. Boom. Hits. And they called a balk on the pitcher because he flinched whenever the lightning thunder crackled. Here you go.
Brandon
One and one the count on Paulie.
Eddie
A huge crash of lightning as Contreras kicked. And it's a ball. Run scored.
Brandon
No, they're gonna call that a Vulcan. Everybody jumped.
Eddie
Mother Nature gives Jacksonville a run.
Reed
It's two of one.
Eddie
Everybody, the whole ballpark, jumped.
Reed
Yeah, that's. That's. That's wrong.
Eddie
It's. So if you're the umpire, do you call that or do you just go dead ball? Like, everybody jumped?
Reed
I mean, dude.
Eddie
And nothing that happens after everybody flinching counts, but it was. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. They gotta run.
Reed
You're a human. You're not a robot. Like, umpire. Like, you just. You saw everyone jump, not just the pitcher. That's not a balk.
Eddie
Yeah, balk is an advantage. Trying to get an advantage by using motion in a way that is not. He wasn't doing it for that. It was literally nature.
Reed
Did they really score it?
Eddie
And yes, there was a guy on third.
Reed
Yeah, that's ridiculous.
Eddie
Yeah, I thought that's pretty funny.
Reed
Crazy, though, that lightning was so Close. And they didn't see it coming.
Eddie
Yeah. With all of it's minor league, so I don't know what they have the radar, but I mean, even when I walked on a golf course. I know, I hear you. I hear you.
Reed
But.
Eddie
Yeah, you're right.
Reed
Crazy.
Eddie
They. They should have seen the storm was coming and the storm was close. I have some, I don't know, not bad news, but mediumly bad news. I can't go to Atlanta this weekend to play home run derby. I know.
Reed
What are you talking about?
Eddie
There were some. They made some changes and I don't want anybody on the bus, but they made some changes. I can't get down there now. I can't. I'm not going to be able to do it or.
Reed
You want me to drive you?
Eddie
No, no, no, no.
Brandon
Do you want us to hit for you?
Kevin
I'm on the road, dude. I'll take you back.
Eddie
Wrong direction.
Kevin
It is in the wrong direction.
Eddie
Yeah, I'm in the wrong direction. Never mind. So I did. I went in and I worked and trained and yeah, there were some changes made and I just can't get there and do what they've asked me to do at the time because of the changes, so. And again, I'm not. I can't be super specific because I don't want to put. Make anybody feel bad, but now I can't go. I was really, really looking forward to it. I know.
Brandon
Yeah. You were literally training for it.
Eddie
I was training for it because I wanted to do it. But yeah, I'm going to be able to do it.
Reed
Not my passion.
Brandon
I was looking forward to watching it Sunday night on the couch. Like, let's go.
Eddie
Yeah. So not. Not going to do that. I'm very sad about it.
Reed
Dang, dude.
Brandon
So no. Ln at all.
Eddie
There's no. I. I can't get there when they need me there now because.
Reed
So you want to do like a home run derby. It's like.
Kevin
That's what I was thinking. That's what I said.
Reed
Down the road. Stream it just for fun.
Eddie
We used to do that. Like, we used to go to a field here in town.
Reed
Yeah. You want a league field just to get it out. Do you've been training.
Eddie
I have been training. On Sunday. We just go to the field and hit. Yeah.
Kevin
We'll set it up.
Eddie
Possibly.
Reed
Let's do it.
Eddie
Maybe we could stream it at Bobby Bone Sports.
Reed
Okay.
Eddie
And have our own home run dirty on our YouTube page. Our Bobby Bones YouTube does more than the all stars.
Kevin
I was about to say it takes up more.
Brandon
Awesome.
Eddie
Yeah. Our YouTube is Bobby Bonesports, if you guys want to follow it. And a bit that I guess grew from this show was eddie eating the 70 hot dogs, which he's now going to attempt to do over 24 hours. Reed, you know, this starting.
Kevin
Starting now.
Eddie
So on this show, I'd asked Eddie could he eat 70 hot dogs in 24 hours? Because Joey Chestnut did it in 10 minutes.
Kevin
Yeah, I saw that.
Eddie
So he was like, I don't know. I think so. So I offered him 500 bucks. And then on the show, we were just talking about it on the Buy Bone show, and Amy was like, I'll throw in 100. And then lunchbox doing 100. And so it's 24 hours. 70 hot dogs for 700.
Kevin
Dude, I don't know. That's a lot of hot dogs.
Reed
A lot of hot dogs.
Eddie
But if it was only a medium amount of hot dogs, we wouldn't give them 700 bucks. Of course.
Reed
You think it's possible.
Kevin
I think it's possible for sure.
Eddie
It's three an hour.
Kevin
Oh, well. But that's 24 hours, though.
Eddie
Exactly.
Reed
Throughout the night, no sleeping, or if.
Eddie
He does sleep, it's not quite for an hour. Like over 16 hours. It's like 3.7. Something like that. 3.9.
Kevin
I would throw up for sure.
Eddie
You can't throw up. You can poop, but you can't throw up.
Reed
I don't know if the body will allow that.
Eddie
Like, he ate.
Reed
Doesn't Joey throw up?
Eddie
No, you can't throw me. No.
Reed
But after it's done.
Eddie
Well, after it's done. Throw up. Yeah.
Kevin
He would go like, wiener first, though, and then go with the bread.
Reed
Yeah. Oh, he does. He does.
Kevin
I saw him do that.
Brandon
Yeah.
Eddie
I don't know.
Brandon
Dip bread in.
Eddie
I didn't know that.
Brandon
Yeah. So you can come up with a strategy.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. So he's got 70 in 24 hours. We're gonna do probably next week. What reminded me of that is we're going to stream that on the Bobby Bone show.
Kevin
Oh, my gosh.
Eddie
So, yeah, good luck, Eddie.
Reed
Looking forward to that. Can't wait.
Brandon
That's gonna hurt.
Reed
It's gonna hurt.
Eddie
You don't have to do it, though. Like, nobody.
Reed
$700. I gotta do it.
Eddie
But we didn't have a meeting where it's like, eddie, take one for the team and just do this bit. Eddie's like, it's gonna hurt me so bad, but I'll do it. No, no. We're saying if you want to do it. There is a massive prize. Yeah. So we're not gonna feel bad for you that you've chosen to do it to try to win a massive prize.
Kevin
Are you gonna do any, like, mustard or anything?
Reed
No, nothing. Extra relish, like chips? No, I'm not doing that.
Eddie
I think I would do mustard, though. Like, I like mustard so much, I'd want it to taste as good as possible without it, without adding anything to it. And I feel like mustard's not much of an addition. That's going to make a difference.
Reed
No.
Kevin
And it can help it go down.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
Bland hot dog, just.
Eddie
Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah, I agree.
Reed
I mean, I'll cook them, but that's about it.
Eddie
Do they cook them? They don't cook them with a hot dog. Boiled.
Kevin
They cook them.
Eddie
They do cook them. Yeah. Okay. Well, there you go. But I would add a little mustard. I wouldn't do a lot, but I would do a little just to help me with the taste.
Reed
What do you think? Like, nutritional? Why? Like, value wise? Like, what do you think it's gonna do for me?
Eddie
I would think I wouldn't eat for a day before. Whenever we figure out what it is, I would deprive myself for a day.
Reed
A day?
Eddie
Yep.
Reed
24 hours.
Eddie
Yeah. Any more than that's gonna affect your overall energy, et cetera. I would deprive myself for a day because you can fast for a day. I've done that many times. No problem. It's a little uncomfortable, but it's fine. You can't throw up. And I would walk a lot. I would get on the treadmill, even at my house while I'm eating. Do part of it. No, but in the middle of it, while you're eating, I would just keep walking. I would burn that energy while you're putting that into your body.
Brandon
Yeah. You can't just sit there and just let it just.
Reed
Ugh. It's almost like just a wheel running kind of.
Eddie
It's like you sit on the toilet eating at the same time.
Reed
Yeah. That's so gross. Yeah, we'll see, man. See how it goes.
Eddie
The question is, would you rather look good or feel good? If you only got to pick one, that's easy. Go ahead.
Reed
Feel good. Yeah, feel. I want to feel good. That's why old people wear their. Their pants up high. And like, they just like, you know what? Screw it. I'm not. I don't care about what I look anymore. It's all about comfort, dude. Feeling good is very important. Looking good, who cares?
Eddie
Would you rather if you can only look good or you only feel good. Kevin.
Brandon
Yeah, I'd feel good too, because I felt bad plenty of times and it sucks. Yeah, I'd rather feel good.
Eddie
But what if you look so bad, though? It makes you. Oh, God.
Reed
But who cares? Like, you look bad. Okay. Who cares?
Brandon
I have to be out in public.
Eddie
You know, you have to live your life.
Brandon
Oh.
Eddie
You don't get to sit in a room if a tree falls in the woods. Same thing if you don't. Nobody looks at you. You don't look bad.
Brandon
Am I already married?
Eddie
Yeah. That's a factor.
Reed
That's a good question.
Eddie
A new survey of 2,000 people revealed that 77% of us are prioritizing how we feel on the inside more than how we look on the outside.
Reed
What do you say? It's gotta be feel, dude.
Eddie
It's gotta be feel. I just don't want to say that and seem like I'm being disingenuous. I've never been good looking. Like, as somebody who people just look at and be like, what a good looking person. So I don't feel like I'm losing anything. Yeah, but I guess I would lose a little. Like I'm. I'd say slightly better than average just because I keep myself in decent shape. So I. But I would go feel because I felt bad. Like I've had stomach issues and so feel.
Reed
If you had a good personality, I don't think anyone would care what you really look like.
Eddie
That's not true.
Reed
No, but.
Eddie
No, not, not completely. I can give you the first 28 years of my life. I had great personality. Okay, but same personality? Yeah, yeah, same personality. It should be like a Madden system where they give us 100 points and we get to put them in whatever category we build our character. Like, you can go 72 on the looks and then you have 28 on the field.
Reed
What would be some of the other attributes?
Eddie
Height. Yeah, wiener size.
Kevin
Yeah, for sure.
Eddie
Like all that. Like money. Like, you only get certain amount of points and all the stuff that is supposed to matter, like what would the cat. What would the categories be?
Brandon
So, okay, so height.
Eddie
Yep. I don't think weight is one. You can, you can change your own weight.
Reed
Correct.
Eddie
Generally speaking, by 15, 20 pounds. Even more than that if you're overweight. So height, you can't really change true athleticism. Okay, fair.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Height. Because maybe you don't want athleticism, but you do. Intelligence.
Reed
Like I say, personality. Oh, intelligence. Got to be one of them.
Eddie
Yeah, Intelligence.
Reed
Personality is good too.
Eddie
Personality, though. I would say we have to be. We have to dial in a little.
Brandon
More because I like humor.
Eddie
That's what I would say. Humor. I would say money.
Reed
Yes, yes.
Eddie
I would say one.
Reed
One that you started with was looks.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. Physical. So that would include wiener size, right? Which is like physical.
Reed
No, that doesn't include wiener size.
Eddie
It doesn't? No.
Reed
Because if you have a good category, man, you have a small wiener.
Eddie
Okay, so we'll do.
Kevin
I'm going high. Everything.
Eddie
Okay, hold on. Wiener.
Reed
Ok. Yeah.
Eddie
What else is there?
Reed
We'll see what the real answer is.
Kevin
Or all wiener and nothing else. He's a poor hung guy. It's a Yoda with a massive wiener. That dude's weird.
Eddie
But that character build is wild, man.
Kevin
Oh, my God.
Reed
What? What other.
Eddie
So we have seven categories here in our character build. Are we missing any?
Brandon
Is like professional success one, or is that.
Eddie
I think that goes into money.
Brandon
Okay, okay. It's true.
Reed
Okay, so what do we have?
Eddie
We have height, athleticism, intelligence, humor, money, physical, and wiener.
Reed
That's seven. That's solid.
Eddie
Are we missing anything? Because I think our point system's got to be different than what we started with because I feel like we've covered it generally here and any gap here, anything we're missing.
Reed
Intelligence, humor. I think we got it.
Eddie
Okay.
Brandon
Yeah.
Eddie
So I think you get, like, 25 points, right. And if you have, like 4 points in something that's pretty big, I mean, you could go 25 points. Wiener. Right. But then again, you're gonna look like Yoda with a huge hog. But then you're gonna have no success and no luck.
Brandon
You can make some money off of that.
Kevin
No money. No money.
Eddie
But you can't. You have no money. That's true. So If I had 25 points. Let me see how I divvy this up.
Reed
I'd have to see, like, right now I'm trying to visualize the Madden scale.
Eddie
I would go five points. Intelligence, man. Intelligence and humor. Kind of.
Reed
What's your total number?
Eddie
25. So I have 20 left. Yep. And I think I would go five. Humor. So I've used a significant part of mine already. In 10, I have 15 points left to. I'm gonna just go, I. I want to have a wiener. So I'm gonna go one. Because I think if you go zero, you don't even have a wiener. Right.
Brandon
But one.
Reed
But one. You can barely see it inverted.
Eddie
You would rather have Kendall than.
Reed
Dude, you gotta have a wiener.
Eddie
That's what I'm saying. You need one. If you have none. You. You don't have a wiener. Correct. So you gotta at least put one in that category.
Reed
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
But.
Reed
But I'm saying you got to go more than one.
Eddie
I don't think I do right now.
Reed
Okay.
Eddie
I think I'm gonna go.
Reed
He's smart and dude, he's so funny, but he doesn't have a wiener.
Eddie
But nobody knows. Nobody knows.
Reed
The girls are talking about you.
Eddie
That's. And it's called. If we're gonna talk about in terms of, like, meta. It's called a micro penis.
Kevin
Oh, yeah.
Reed
Oh, yes.
Eddie
And it happens, right?
Kevin
Oh, it happens, right. Yeah.
Eddie
Okay. I mean, I think I have 14 points left. I'm gonna do three points height. Leave me 11. Three points physical, like, muscles is me with eight. Four points athleticism. Oh. I'm gonna go three points money. And I'll add one to Wiener. That's two.
Kevin
There we go.
Reed
So here's my two wieners. Good.
Kevin
He's average.
Eddie
Here's my build, because I think five is max on the scale.
Brandon
Yes.
Eddie
So I've got height, three, more than average. Athleticism, four, close to max. Intelligence, five. Humor, five. Money, three. Yeah, it's fine without it. Good with it, but it don't make the world go around.
Reed
Some may differ, but I've been where it's different.
Eddie
I've been really poor. Physical three and wiener two, the only one. I'm really below average. That was the least important one to me.
Reed
What you wanted.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah. So I think there's my build out.
Brandon
That's solid. Wow, that's a good, good character there on the game.
Eddie
Yeah. I don't know what sport we're playing on that. Build out your life.
Reed
Like Game of Life.
Eddie
It's like the Sims. I built up my character.
Kevin
Oh, my God.
Eddie
Dang. Okay, cool. Some other news. I'd like to announce I'm taking a month off from working out with Klug.
Reed
Oh, a month?
Eddie
Yeah, My body just hurts, man. Wow. Like, my ankle's killing me. I'm freaking hurting my back playing, and I just keep working out. So I text him yesterday. I was like, hey, I'm. I'm gonna. I'm not gonna not work out. But I'm like, I'm gonna sit for a month and just not go heavy because I got like, everything's hurt. I gotta. I gotta get some offseason time in, you know?
Reed
Yeah. That rest.
Eddie
So I won't be resting well from a Klug workout. From a clue.
Brandon
What will you do? Walk on the treadmill or something.
Eddie
I'll play pickleball. I'll walk on the treadmill. I do some of these classes online. Okay. But I'm not doing like freaking deadlifts. Yeah.
Brandon
Heavy lifting wives.
Eddie
And you're doing beach body with farmer carries of 70 on in each hand.
Reed
Oh, yeah. Brutal, man.
Eddie
So, you know, that's what we were doing. And I think it's great for my body. I'm in my 40s. I'm still in really good shape. I think a lot of that's because of the consistency with Klug, but Detective, like, I'm taking a month off, bro.
Reed
We're gonna miss you, man. I'm just kidding. Hey, man, we're taking a month off.
Eddie
How about it?
Reed
No.
Kevin
Geez.
Reed
No. The ones. What are the ones where you put the. Your leg on the bench and you do Bulgarian squats. Screw that.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Reed
I won't miss those.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. Those suck. I will still work out probably four times a week, but I just have like, nagging injuries if I want to make it in the league eventually.
Reed
Yeah, yeah. And home run derby.
Eddie
I got it. Well, now I'm not even doing that.
Reed
No, no, no, we will. We'll do something.
Eddie
Oh, okay.
Reed
All right.
Eddie
All right, Reed, how's life going? Should we take a break first, Mike, or no? Yeah, let's take a break. All right, take a break. We'll come back with three.

Eddie
Reed, how's life going, dude?
Kevin
It's been amazing. I love married life. I mean, you're still in.
Reed
I mean, you. You're what, three weeks in?
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah.
Kevin
It's been about a month. Yeah. June 4th.
Eddie
So what's been cool. Not. Not to minimize it. We shouldn't know any. We shouldn't have minimized that.
Reed
You're right. But, but, but, but. I mean, it's three weeks, four weeks into something. Anything is like.
Eddie
I know, but. But we shouldn't have minimized it during.
Kevin
That honeymoon phase, you know?
Eddie
I apologize.
Reed
No, I'm sorry.
Eddie
Yeah, we're sorry about that. Anyway, what's been great about it, I.
Kevin
Think just being together, man. We've been separated for five years, so.
Eddie
No. Well, I wouldn't say it like not separated.
Kevin
We've been long distance.
Eddie
Yeah. Like physically, you Were separated. But it sounds like we're together. Yes.
Kevin
Yeah. So just being together has been great. Even though she's been working a whole lot, just her to come home. And she's been cooking a lot too, which has been fantastic. That's a really great thing. But like lifestyle changes, like me not drinking as much and cooking 90% of the time. Her cooking right now just. It's been amazing.
Reed
Why were you not drinking? Why were you drinking more before her?
Kevin
I mean I lived with Dawson and you know, we'd always have beer in the fridge, just easy to go grab. So now you act like it's a water. I know, man, I know.
Reed
And Dawson, man, bad influence.
Kevin
It's tough out there, man. So now I don't buy it.
Eddie
So you would just go and just 8pm, grab a beer and have a beer?
Kevin
I think. Yeah, yeah.
Brandon
Like while working or just chilling?
Kevin
Anything? Yeah, yeah. Playing games or. Yeah, chilling. If I'm about to go to bed.
Eddie
You know, if I'm about to go to bed.
Kevin
A little nightcap. Yeah. Nature's medicine.
Reed
And now you can't do that or you just choose not to do that?
Kevin
I just choose not to. Yeah.
Brandon
Think about it. Really?
Kevin
No, I don't think about it. And so, and I mean I'm. I'm. I've been taking her to the hospital because right now we live five minutes away and the garage that she's got to walk from to get to actually her work is a 15 minute walk. So I've just been dropping her off at the hospital.
Eddie
What time she goes in the morning?
Kevin
Right now it's 3 to 11pm oh, that's not bad. No, it's actually good.
Reed
3Pm to 11.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Have a beer before we pick her up.
Kevin
Exactly. Exactly. Oh my God. But it was, I was dropping her off at like 6:30 and then picking her up at 3. And so then she's gonna do the 24 hours, which that's not gonna be fun. But she's just in different rotations.
Eddie
How's St. Louis?
Kevin
So I do like the city. Absolutely hate living downtown. It is the worst thing I've ever been a part of. It's just like, I don't, I don't know if I'm just getting angrier while driving, but the driving downtown there is insane. Not even bad drivers, just people who don't give crap. Like I've seen at least three people a day run red lights like blatantly. Just, just not caring. I mean I've been, I've been cussed at I've been.
Eddie
You sure it's you? That's.
Kevin
No, no, I'm. No, dude, I'm following the laws.
Eddie
A couple beers.
Kevin
Yeah. Been cussed at. I've been flipped off, man. I've been peed on.
Eddie
Peed on.
Reed
Oh, yeah, with the.
Brandon
You talked about it, didn't you? When the. The pipe broke that we're talking about.
Kevin
Oh, yeah, that has. Yeah, that's a different thing. That's just a whole apartment deal.
Eddie
Do you feel safe?
Kevin
No, not really.
Eddie
Hold on.
Reed
How was he peed on? I don't understand.
Eddie
I assume by homeless person. Yeah, that's the only way I would ever almost get peed on, right? Like my feet or something.
Reed
My cousin one time was peeing in a stall, and the guy next to him just, like, peed on his feet.
Kevin
What?
Eddie
Big drunk.
Reed
Big fight. Drunk.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
Yeah, big fight.
Eddie
Do you walk downtown?
Kevin
No, I don't. We don't really walk downtown, but to take the dog out, we have to go downstairs and across the street. And whenever I pick her up at 11pm I got to go down there at like. Like 11:30. And it's just a bunch of sketchy people walking around. Like, we were at a red light the other day and there was a dude, like, trying to break windows to this bank and stuff. Just right.
Brandon
Just right there.
Reed
Gotham City, man.
Eddie
Right on the sidewalk going on here.
Kevin
You're right, dude.
Eddie
It does sound like this scene from the Penguin.
Kevin
Oh, man, I'm just ready. I'm just ready to get a little bit outside of the downtown area.
Eddie
Have you played golf at all?
Kevin
No. No golf, man. I've been itching. I've been itching bad.
Eddie
Have you guys seen the Hugh Freeze golf stuff? So, Hugh Freeze, the head coach at Auburn Football coach, and he's been playing a lot of golf. And normally you wouldn't know, but he registers his scores to get us again, his handicap, and so he puts every score, and he's playing golf like, four times a week. And Auburn's been kind of sucking. And so they're on him because he posts the scores like crazy. And they're like, dude, we suck. Why are you playing so much golf? And then it's also like, you're playing so much golf, and why do you keep letting everybody know how much golf you're playing?
Reed
Right?
Eddie
It's become its own story. That's. That he plays so much golf.
Reed
How are the scores?
Eddie
He. I think he's. I saw, like a 76, 77. Well, that's why he's a really Good golfer for that head coach world. He's better than us by far, but he plays a lot of golf. So much so it's been a story. And then the story became. He knows it's a story, but he still keeps putting in because he wants an accurate representation of his handicap. So he's putting in all the scores. So big shout out to Hugh Freeze.
Reed
Our. One of my buddies.
Kevin
His.
Reed
His son just committed to Auburn to do. To play football.
Eddie
What sport? Oh, really?
Reed
Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
Like scholarship or like walk on or what?
Reed
No, it's.
Eddie
So.
Reed
So here's the thing. He got a full ride to Tech, to Tennessee, and we live in Tennessee. And he chose Auburn because his girlfriend goes there.
Kevin
He did it. He did it.
Reed
It's a tough one, but he's like, you know what?
Eddie
He can transfer.
Reed
Yeah, he can.
Eddie
Because I'm telling you, that ain't gonna last.
Brandon
Nope.
Eddie
And I don't even know them. It ain't about that.
Reed
No, it's just the history. Like, it happens all the time where people go to college to chase their girlfriends or boyfriends and then they break up.
Brandon
That's some First World problems, though. Like, oh, I don't want to go to Tennessee. I'll go to Auburn instead.
Reed
He's good.
Eddie
Yeah. That's awesome.
Reed
He's a good player.
Eddie
I have the most home runs in Major League Baseball history. Eddie, how many of the players can you Name out of 10? These are the players that have hit the most home runs ever.
Reed
Okay.
Eddie
There are the 10 greatest, and I have the full number. How many you think you can name out of ten?
Reed
Out of ten I can name. Let's say I can go six.
Brandon
Wow.
Eddie
Okay.
Reed
I think go six.
Eddie
Let's see how many you can get. Go ahead. A Babe Ruth at number three. Did you think he was one, by the way?
Reed
Nah, I have no idea.
Eddie
Got it. At number three, Babe Ruth with 714 home runs. That's one. Barry Bonds at number one all time is Barry Bonds, 762 home runs.
Reed
Mark McGuire. Oh, shoot. I don't like that pause. He's not in there. Okay.
Eddie
You got two.
Reed
Well, I was just kind of.
Eddie
You're thinking of Sosa McGuire season in there. I'm not. I shouldn't have said that. But that's probably what you're thinking about.
Reed
Exactly what I was thinking.
Eddie
Yeah. So I'm not. I'm not telling you if so is in there or not, but you've got two.
Reed
Okay.
Eddie
Yeah. You get three strikes, so go ahead.
Reed
Okay. Good, good, good. Okay, let's See? Yes.
Eddie
One, Barry Bonds. Three, Babe Ruth. That's all you have?
Kevin
Yes.
Reed
Yes. Let's go. Sammy Sosa at number nine.
Eddie
Sammy Sosa. 609 home runs snuck in there.
Reed
Thank goodness. Oh, Hank Hammer and Hank Aaron at.
Eddie
Number two with 755 home runs. Hank Aaron. There you go.
Reed
What am I at? 5, 4? I don't know. He's gotten there.
Eddie
And you thought you could do six? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Reed
We're still. We're still trucking, dude. And I only got one strike. Mm.
Eddie
Who are you thinking? You don't have to commit to him.
Reed
Oh, I'm thinking Aaron Judge. I don't know if he's there yet. I don't think he's there yet. He's too young. Bryce Harper hits a lot of homers. Let's go. Bryce Harper.
Eddie
There is no. There are no current players in the top 10.
Reed
Okay, now take a no.
Eddie
Bryce Harper. Strike two.
Reed
No Bryce Harper.
Eddie
Strike two.
Brandon
That's a good clue, though.
Reed
Yeah, that is a good clue.
Eddie
It saves you Aaron Judge, as a guess.
Reed
Sure does. Let's see who was, like, awesome when we were younger hitting home runs. All right. Lou Gehrig.
Eddie
Yeah. You kind of suck at that game, dude.
Kevin
I got it.
Eddie
Reed. What can you do?
Kevin
We got Big Poppy.
Eddie
No, he's not on there.
Kevin
No David Ortiz.
Eddie
I know who Big Poppy. You don't tell us who that is. No.
Reed
Good guess, though, man.
Eddie
Kevin, I bet you can rattle off a few that Eddie didn't get.
Brandon
You know what? I'm not as confident in this game as I would think I would be. I guess Manny Ramirez.
Eddie
Mm. Mm. Yeah, Brandon.
Kevin
A rod.
Eddie
Yeah, a Rod at number five.
Brandon
Okay, there you go.
Eddie
With 696 home runs. Yeah.
Reed
Brando.
Kevin
What about the kid?
Eddie
Griffey at number seven. Ken Griffey Jr.
Kevin
There you go, Brandon.
Reed
Oh, my goodness.
Eddie
At 630 home runs. Oh. Pujols at number four. Albert Pujols. Brandon, dude, he's gonna get your number without the big ones available if he gets one more. So we have Barry Bonds at one, Hank Aaron at two, Babe Ruth at three. Pujols at four, Alex Rodriguez at five. Six is still out there. Ken Griffey Jr. At seven and Sammy Sosa at nine. So you have six, eight, and ten. You have three left. Roger Maris, he hit 61, which was the record in 61, but he is not in the top ten all time.
Brandon
Willie Mace.
Eddie
Yeah. Number six.
Brandon
There you go.
Eddie
He got four with only one strike.
Reed
Good job, Brandon.
Eddie
There's two left. I don't think you guys will get these two. I got it. Unless you. You. You're not gonna get it. You aren't gonna get it. Especially why, like, you cleared the big ones off the board, and Brandon still tied you.
Reed
Oh, man.
Eddie
Go ahead. Confidence. I like it. Ty Cobb, no, he was not a home run hitter.
Reed
Nobody could stand that song.
Eddie
Not a home run hitter and not a racist. Those stories about him. Not true.
Reed
Really?
Eddie
Yeah, if you look it up. Would you mind looking that up, Kevin? Because I'm gonna keep doing this game. Those stories, it was like, a writer who had a beef with him who made. Yeah. Type in Ty Cobb not a racist. And you'll see the updated version of that. Because forever his legacy was he was, like, this mean racist dude. Two left. He might have been racist, but all the stuff they credited him saying, like, a lot of that is not true. Okay, can you give us a. Yeah, any.
Brandon
Any hint, like, is.
Eddie
Is. Both guys were American Leaguers. Okay. One of them played in our life. One of the. Like, our watching baseball, and one of them played before we watched. One white guy, one black guy. Yeah.
Brandon
This says his family was actually opposed to slavery and advocated for racial equality.
Eddie
Yeah. There's a lot of stories because Ty Cobb was painted even. They're like movies that Cobb. Or he's like, hey, yeah.
Reed
I mean, she was Joe Jackson, dude. It was like they didn't invite him to the field because they told him to stick it.
Eddie
All right. Is that what part of the movie.
Reed
Yes, he said nobody could stand him, so he told him stick it.
Eddie
Now, if he was unlikable, that's different. But, like, his history has been very much married with. He was a racist and turns out awful. That wasn't true. I think the writer that wrote that first story about it, like, had a problem with him. What do you see?
Brandon
Yeah, well, he's quoted as saying the Negro should be accepted and not grudgingly, blah, blah, blah. He said that they should be playing with them. But I'm trying to look for that writer.
Eddie
Reed, why did you do eyes?
Kevin
No. What?
Reed
What did you do?
Kevin
Nothing, man. I was seeing what everybody else was doing.
Reed
Okay. We're still missing two. Two players.
Eddie
Yeah.
Brandon
Trying to buy Brandon some time.
Reed
He wants just to just guess.
Eddie
I can tell you.
Reed
No, no, you can tap out.
Eddie
You're not gonna get them.
Reed
