Brian Beckner and Ed Daly are joined by the great Jason Stewart for a packed episode of The Baller Lifestyle Podcast featuring football, baseball, conspiracy theories, prison movies, gambling, and the return of some of the show's favorite arguments. The guys dive deep into the 1974 Burt Reynolds classic The Longest Yard, revisiting the bizarre prison system, the Mean Machine, Burt Reynolds' Paul Crewe, the guards' football team, and the increasingly insane events surrounding the climactic game. Before getting to the movie, the guys discuss the NFL's return, Kyle Shanahan's fantasy-football-hostile approach to injury and lineup information, the 49ers' trip to Australia, Antarctica truthers, hollow-earth theory, and the surprising connection between DK Metcalf and conspiracy theories. The show also revisits the recent Shohei Ohtani/Ipei Mizuhara gambling scandal and the documentary/podcast investigation that changed Jason's mind about Ohtani's involvement. Brian, Ed and Jason debate whether Ohtani truly knew what was happening — and marvel at Ipei's unforgettable haircut. Then it's time for The Longest Yard, including: Burt Reynolds at the absolute peak of his stardomPaul Crewe's spectacularly irrational behaviorThe mysterious circumstances surrounding his prison sentenceThe absurdly lax Florida prison systemThe prison football team and the Mean MachineCaptain Knauer and his love of beating prisoners with a stickCaretaker's incredible prison hustling operationBernadette Peters' bizarrely shoehorned-in characterThe movie's extremely dated racism and attitudesThe mysterious mud-shoveling prison workRichard Kiel's terrifying presenceThe surprisingly authentic football actionRay Nitschke and the real football players appearing in the movieThe game's bizarre scoringDrop kicks, safeties and questionable football rulesThe Warden's ridiculous demand that Paul Crewe throw the gameThe prison guards' championship ambitionsThe violent climaxThe famous final playThe confusing ending involving the game ballAnd, naturally, the eternal question: Why is it called The Longest Yard? The episode closes with a special appearance by Jason Stewart answering a listener's question about MLB umpire Doug Eddings demanding that Cardinals pitcher Hansel Rincón straighten his slightly tilted hat. Jason weighs in on baseball's changing culture, bat flips, player celebrations, old-school baseball etiquette and whether Doug Eddings deserves to be forced into retirement. And, because this is The Baller Lifestyle Podcast, the guys also determine who would be the loudest comer in The Longest Yard. It's another chaotic combination of sports, comedy, movie criticism, nostalgia and completely unnecessary arguments.
