He came to work in the suit. He looked like he was going to court He looks like for a custody battle. He looks like a guy that your office brings into fire people. Yes.

So we have 25 awards we're giving out. If this is your first take ease, welcome. Uh, it's we do this every single year this week every year

when there's no sports going on we have a you know a year that we look back at the past year so it's also kind of confusing because it always the take ease kind of go from July to July yeah so we're looking at that that's you know times one thing I always like about the take ease though is the time frame of it because this is what the calendar Should be right like the calendar should start football season starts the year And then we have a sports calendar that ends at the end of the NBA playoffs the Stanley Cup playoffs And that's the year. Yes the year review that we do shit. You know what I just realized we didn't do something What we should have done in memoriam? Oh, we could do it. can maybe just, how about we just do it off the top of our heads?

Okay, Bill Walton. That's a great one. Mmhmm. Rob Ford. Rob Ford. That's a good one. I watched that documentary last night. Yeah, it's really good.

A few years ago, but in Memoriam. Bob Barker. Was that this year? No, I have no idea. Okay, is he still, he's dead? Dead, he's dead, he's for sure dead, right? Yes. That they're alive, Bob Barker? Bober. All right, probably still alive. Hmm

OJ OJ was this year that was in Adam Schefters from this year, right? That's right. Yeah, okay Anyone in the booth have a death that they I can't the years kind of blend together boys David Bowie Oh for sure. Yeah, yeah, David Bowie. Yeah, all right P. Yep. All right boys. David Bowie. Oh, for sure. Yeah, yeah. David Bowie. Yeah, RIP. Yep, RIP David Bowie. The Queen?

That was a couple years ago because remember they made us watch. Close enough. That's close enough. They made us do like a minute of silence before opening kickoff for the Queen. Yeah, that's close enough though. Yeah, I think that's about it. Yeah. I think it's everybody that died.

Yeah. All right, so before we get to the takeys, some big news announced on Thursday Fox Sports Barstool collab Pretty exciting stuff. I'm sure there are some people who are like hey, how's this going to change this show or any shows? I'll say right now. It's not going to change this show at all We made sure of that. We it's gonna be a great like this is very different than the ESPN partnership back in 2017. The Facebook Barstool Van Talk.

Fox is a very willing partner. They're very excited. We're very excited. They believe in us. We believe in them. A lot different than what we went through with the ESPN. So what's, what is it going to look like though? So we have the college football show that we've been doing for a very long time.

That's actually not going to change. We are going to, the only change on that is we used to go on the road six to seven times a year. Now we're going to go still on the road six times a year, but we are going to do it in conjunction with big noon kickoff. So we're going to have the Barstool college football show take place right next to big noon kickoff, right before Big Noon kickoff, but it's still going to be the same show.

So it's going to be the same show. There'll be seven or so shows from studio, six or so shows from location. Dave's going to go on Big Noon kickoff. So that's very exciting. I think there's a couple of dates that he can't make that I might have to go on Big Noon kickoff. So that will be that. That's the college football portion. And then it also,

there will be a TV show that will run out of this office, the Chicago office from seven to nine central every morning, Monday through Friday on FS one, which is going to be barstool. It's going to be an ensemble. So it's PFT will be on it from time to time. I'll be on it from time to time, but it's not going to take away from what we do here. It's going to be, yeah, it's going to be a mix of everybody in this office and people that might not be in this office right now that might stop in.

It's just going to be a big melange of people that work here at Barstool. And yeah, I don't expect to be spending a full time jobs worth of time going on the show. But I'll try to make it on like once a week, is what we discussed, sitting in that neighborhood. And that way, it's not going to cannibalize part of my take. Yeah, and I'll go to try to make it on like once a week as well Yeah discussed yeah in that neighborhood and that way it's not gonna cannibalize pardon my take Yeah, and I think I probably won't go on at the same time. Yeah, we don't want to be like oh We're they're just doing pardon my take on TV, but we will both appear on the show weekly we keep that for you guys

Yeah, we keep that that's that's you. That's just for you. Yeah, the only show I think it could cannibalize is wake up mincy. I'm concerned about that. Let's move to the afternoons, okay Well, that's good. So we're good. Well, it's gonna preempt wake up mincy. Yeah, that's true. Okay, but I'm excited It's it's actually it's very odd feeling because we've been through this and we've been through the congratulations And I'm always that that maybe jaded me a little of like hey There's no congratulations until it starts happening kind of like when people when people congratulate us on the book remember we got to write a book We haven't started though I did have someone congratulate me when we were doing these the baseball stream the other night on the restaurant

I appreciated that guy. That's good. He's like congrats on the book and the rest. I yes I actually think think about this way every single day that goes by it's gonna be harder to quit But like there's never gonna be an easier time to quit the book than right now. Right now? Right this very second. It's only going to get harder. I mean, listen, AWL's better promise to buy this book. They better promise. Because I'm promising to write this book. Yeah. We need a promise off. Yeah.

You promise to buy it, we'll promise to write it. But I'm pumped about the TV show. It's going to be cool to get back on the air a promise off. Yeah, you promised to buy it will promise to write but I'm pumped about the TV show It's gonna be cool to get back on the air a little bit and you're right Fox Sports They want to work with us. We want to work with them. They're gonna let us do us, right? Which is a very cool thing. They trust us balls in our court go fuck around do whatever you want I'm excited to share the airwaves with Colin Coward. Yes. I really am Yes, who might be up for a take he might be up for a take. Yeah for a take But yeah, it's exciting. It's big for Barstool. And my excitement is like, it's just different than it was 2017.

But I think it's better because like I said, this is a partnership that feels like it can work because they wanted us and we're like, Hey, let's do this instead of trying to beg to get a time slot at 1 a.m. Yeah. And if you are an AWL that owns a gym if you own a gym we're gonna need every television on FS correct that's on you first of all congratulations on owning a gym that's fucking sick you're probably in really good shape and hot so that's cool but we need you to have our TV show on Monday through Friday 7 to 9 cents after you watch all part of my take on YouTube and listen to it on all your podcast Correct, correct, but we're counting on you guys. Yeah. So yeah, we're not it's not like a

Boomers in the fall are now gonna be on FS1. No. No, this show is not changing at all I made sure that was a very big sticking point. We love this show we've learned through the years that this is our audience we love you guys, we'll see if you win a Podcast listener of the year, but we love you guys so much and we don't want to change any of that. This is in addition. So we're excited for it. Hank, are you excited? Very excited. Hank, does this make Tom Brady your coworker?

Yeah, I think it does. Yeah. Your peer? Probably. He might be involved in the show later too. In this show? Yeah. In today's show? Takis.

Oh, no way. Okay. You say he might be and he's not. He might be. Okay. Okay. That would be very funny. We need to start doing that. Like, Hey, listen, this is the ninth annual take ease. You want to do something special. Dr. James Andrews, LeBron James might be involved in this. Actually. Can I tell you a funny story? So we have guest presenters. I tried to reach out to Dr. James Andrews for injury of the year. Did not get which one. The one that we had on nine years ago who correctly diagnosed cows. Schwabers injury. We I emailed them. Yeah. Professor have not heard back. We should revisit that though. I did make the effort. We should have them

on again. Yeah we should absolutely have them on again. That that that was a set. That will be in the book. Yeah. Yeah. Did we do that with Aaron Rodgers or we almost did it with Aaron Rodgers? A different guy named Aaron Rodgers. I think we talked about it. Yeah, I think we almost did it. I think we did it the exact right amount of times once. Yeah. Because if we had just done an entire podcast where every single day we had a guest name that was similar to a famous person. People would get mad. I think so. Yeah. Okay. PFT, you're surprised? Yeah. So last night, if you watch the Takey Awards, or excuse me, the SB Awards, Shane

Gillis hosted and he did the monologue at the start of it. I thought it was pretty funny. I thought he told some pretty funny jokes. Shane's a funny guy. Shout out Little Sass. Our dear friend Little Sass wrote some of the jokes for him, which I thought was very cool. So I know how these word shows go. I know that he probably wrote a lot of jokes that didn't get included. So I reached out to little sass this morning and I asked him if he had any leftover jokes. Oh, nice. And I got some leftover jokes from little sass that were meant to be on the SBs. Didn't make the cut, maybe too spicy for TV. And I want our good friend Zach to do the opening monologue. Oh, for the take ease. I love this little sass is joke. So we have an

opening monologue this year and Zach has not read these. I just now as I'm talking, sent him the jokes. So this is going to be Zach reading little sass jokes for the first time. And that's so perfect because Zach actually, uh, he did a Daniel Day Lewis method act this morning where he much like little sass woke up at 1130 in the morning He did yeah, he was a little bit late this morning. Yeah This is my first time reading through these jokes and I am happy to present them to you guys. Okay. Okay, great What about the part about the? Deplorable move on my end. I can't apologize enough anybody who everyone who was here at the scheduled time I I

I want to apologize for not Not respecting your time to the best of my ability and it's not not a good move and I I couldn't be more Anything you guys need me to do to make up for it. I'm willing to do and I'm sorry for being late today What did I say to you though? Don't do it again. No, that's not what I said. Well, I did say that, but I also said if we fired people for sleeping in, Hank would have been fired a thousand times. Fact. And he did walk in the room and give the best apology of all time and instantly. People don't know. So we had a commercial day today.

We had to tape a bunch of commercials. We're here at 8 a.m. was the call time. Zach, what happened? Did you, did your alarm not go off? I didn't plug it back in. So you don't use your phone? He's got a plug-in alarm clock next to his bed. So it's Alexa, but I used the top volume on it. So usually I can't tell her in the morning, Alexa cut off the alarm,

because she can't hear me, because she's going so loud, so I pull the plug out the back. Every morning? Yes. So you yell at Alexa every morning, she doesn't listen, and then you loud so I pull the plug out the back every morning yes so you yell at Alexa every morning she doesn't listen and then you have to pull out the plug so I just go to plug usually and I pulled the plug and replug why did you use your phone not loud enough you go to a lot like to but I was I came in and Hank goes as a sleeping

guy Zack is a quintessential sleeping guy he like you know he was a spider-man meme He like, you know, he was a Spider-Man meme. He's like, I know Zach, he's also asleep. People were like freaking out being like, is Zach, I was like, I, you know, I think he's going to be all right. I can tell like that's a guy that just slept it. Police was on the way to Zach's apartment. Did we, did someone go and wake you up? Well, no, we brought someone there, his building wouldn't let them up. And then they were like, basically only if a police comes and says we You know have to go check will they let someone in our security guard is a is a cop and has a friend

That's a police officer. So like we were sending someone there to find out got it. So we were very relieved when you came in this morning I'm so sorry guys went through that this morning. I was unaware of that aspect I agree like the alarm clock such it we talked about this couple, the alarm clocks aren't annoying enough anymore. They're too relaxing. What would have gone through your face, what would have gone through your head if you saw a police officer at the door to wake you up? You would have been... I would assume that first thought I would have known, do I know what time it is when I meet the cop at the door? Well, it's time to go.

Yeah, it's light out. Is there just a police officer or is there someone else accompanying the cop that I would recognize from here? We had said someone else because I was worried for that reason. I didn't want you to be too concerned. What was the worst text message you had in your phone? The worst text message I had in your phone the worst text message? I had in my phone. There was some oak. Are you okay? Are you alive? Yeah, I was like oh my goodness gracious Yeah, this is not good. It's a bad feeling terrible feeling Max got Matt like 920

I just fired off a text you said are you coming in question mark and Max like that's gonna kill him that one I that one I was in the uber and I was like like, okay. Well, uh, my time here was very short I appreciate all the opportunity and I Knew I'd fuck it up, but I'd know it'd be this soon I tried to get him not not to send it cuz I knew that you would have that one was gonna set you off It's sorry. We love you, Zach. It's alright. It's just don't do it again. Alright. Yes, sir So Zach, maybe maybe start the show with a monologue.

But luckily the Browns needed a distraction from their distraction

Bold move considering she could face up to 25 push-in fines. Okay, yeah, I think that was supposed to be bucks, but it auto corrected to push. Okay, okay. If I'm guessing, yeah.

Kylie Jenner and Timothy Chalamet went to the NBA finals together. Kyle said it was rude how players were coming up to the couple being flirtatious all night. But in Kat's defense, he didn't realize Timothy had a girlfriend. That's good. All right. I like that one. It's a good one. Mike Tomlin looks like he washes his eyeballs with soap every morning.

And let's get to the takees. Okay, boys, it's time. Here we go. 25 awards we're giving out. And I think we do this every year to start off with the take of the year. This is not our preemptive take, which we will do later.

The take of the year, we had a lot, a lot of nominees here. Thank you to Freezing Cold Takes. He always helps us out. He's the best. Go follow him. Buy his book. He helps us out with compiling a bunch of these. He's the best go follow him buy his book. He helps us out with Compiling a bunch of these he's a great litmus test for people that if he if you repost one of your bad takes if you get

Mad at him, you're probably a dickhead correct And if you're able to laugh at yourself, you're probably a good hang correct because we have some bad takes all the time but these are the Nominees for take of the year so I actually separated this year because he did such a good job of sending them. I have a rent came due category that I just want to briefly touch on because there's some takes that happened a couple of years ago, but they finally came due this year. Robert Sala in 2022, Robert Sala and the Jets are keeping receipts on those that mock the team.

He said, I'm going to be more than happy to share them when it's all said and done. Robert Saloff finished with a 20 and 36 record and was fired after five games this year. Unceremoniously. Rent came due. Zach Rosenblatt said in 2021, Daniel Jones still has a lot to prove, but I think it's safe to say he's a lot better than Jalen Hertz. I think it's safe to say he's a lot better than Jalen Hurts. That one came due this year in a big, big way. Adam Koffler two years ago said Jameer Gibbs is the stone cold worst pick the Lions could have made at 12, but whatever, Dan Campbell. In two seasons, Jameer Gibbs has 3,190 yards from scrimmage

and 31 touchdowns in two years. Pretty good, pretty good start. We also had this famous one. Maybe you guys can tell me who wrote this man Brawny definitely better than some of these cats have been watching on league pass today shit lightweight hilarious for crying face emojis Just my thought as a sports junkie regardless my own sport I play that was LeBron James in 2023 Brawny averaged 2.3 points per game and 0.7 rebounds. And then finally for the rent came due section of this, which none of these are eligible to win, but I thought we'd have to say them. Dion Sanders a year and a half ago said,

in a response to a tweet that said, "'Tell your son stop acting like he the coldest one out there when he put up a four and eight season.'" Dion Sanders said, "'He will be a top five pick. Where your son stop acting like he the coldest one out there. When he put up a four and eight season, Deion Sanders said he will be a top five pick. Where your son going? L O L O L O L O. I got time today. L O L O L O L O L. It's a lot of out loud. Yeah. It got community noted. He wasn't a top five pick top five for five rounds. He was. Yeah. Top five rounds. Top five rounds. All right, so this year's takes, and then we will get to the winner.

We have our good friend, Peter Schrager, who before the season last year said, Aaron Rodgers is my pick for the 2024 NFL MVP. What he's about to do for the Jets fans this season is something even he couldn't grasp or foresee. Memes? Did he do that for you? That first drive against 49ers. Thought we were in Super Bowl. That was it. That was great.

We also had a new Bears punter, Torrey Taylor, said he got this text from Caleb Williams. Hey, you're not going to punt too much here. The Bears were the second highest team in punts with 82 in the 2024 season. I like the confidence. I like the confidence from them. Also memes, let's not forget that Aaron Rodgers top five in virtually every category. Does that justify Peter Schreger?

He was. Better stats than Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. I think I had to throw a couple of these in here because I also had some really bad takes about the Bears. Obviously last season you could just, I mean you listen to this show, I had some really, really bad takes about the Bears. Obviously last season you could just, I mean you listen to the show, I had some really, really bad takes. But Nick Wright also said in August, the Chicago Bears were his pick to go to the Super Bowl. We had Albert Breer last summer said,

I think Gerard Mayo's a special coaching prospect. I think he has special qualities. He does, he had special. He didn't say what type of special. That's true, that's true. Special is a wide spectrum. Yeah. And then Kurt Cignetti on Indiana verse Notre Dame, we don't just beat top 25 teams. We beat the shit out of them. They lost and they were down 27 to three in the fourth quarter. At the time he was correct. Yeah. That they

had done that. Well, except for Ohio State. Also, also He I mean he he did have he was the king of making scores look better at the end of these blowouts Yes, yes, but the take of the year is going to actually come from a one subsect of Topics here, and it's max you're gonna be happy about this there were a lot of takes about the Philadelphia Eagles this year So here are the official nominees for take of the year. We had Nick Wright during the Super Bowl. He said Chiefs down 10, which means finally the game can start. It's a weird part of the dynasty that they're totally unable to play well in Super Bowls until they're down exactly 10 points, but it's verifiably true. The Chiefs lost the game 40 to 22, and we're down 34- zero and 40 to six after being down 10

Bobby spent said I honestly believe when all is said and done say quans biggest regret of his career Will be signing with Philadelphia That's a tough one Skip bail us also said say Kwan Barkley to Philly does not scare me one bit and Then we had finally the last two nominees. The Eagles are going to miss out on hiring Bill Belichick because they're too big a cowards to fire Nick Sirianni. True. That was from at Barstool Geordie. And then finally the winner of take of the year. Drumroll. It goes to our new colleague Colin Cowardard, who said before the Super Bowl this year, the Eagles may not get into the red zone against Kansas City. And then the Eagles scored 44

points and had 345 yards total offense. That is our winner for take of the year. May not get... Listen, if Coward said may not get in the end zone, that's one. May not get into the red zone against the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, to be fair, they did score a couple touchdowns where they didn't get into the red. That's true. They did have a long, beyond the 20 yard long touchdown, but they also had a field goal where they got in the red zone. That's true. Ah, but yeah, that is our winner for take of the year. That is so, so abysmally bad. And I love Colin. Yeah, I do. Uh but this is an honor Colin. I hope you appreciate it. Yeah. Come come collect your takey in person. He's gotta

be double digits. Oh yeah. He's definitely won a lot of takey. Yeah. He's got a lot of hardware. Yeah. Alright. Uh next up PFT. Okay. So, we have the just log off of the year award. I believe we started this a couple years ago. Relatively new addition to the Takis. And the nominees for Just Log Off of the Year are RG3 for his ongoing feud against Ryan Clark. Ooh, that one's a spicy one. RG3 for deep throating the croissant at the Olympics.

Yep. That was, we couldn't, we were shocked when we were putting together Takis that happened this year. Yeah, that felt like it was a while ago. And the final nominee for Just Log Off of the Year Award, RG3, for his post regarding Angel Reese, where he posted an image that nobody had seen for the world to see, and then said that Angel Reese's inner circle was contacting him to discuss how she's jealous about Caitlin Clark while he asked people not to bully Angel Reese.

Okay. Three great nominees this year. Who's gonna win? The winner of the 2025 Takee for Just Log Off of the Year award is RG3. Wow! And it was a tie for all three of them. Oh!

It was a tie. So great all-around performance, historical year, big numbers. We might not ever see him again. Just put the phone down once in a while. I actually think we will. Yeah, we will. Do you think that he, like at any point, is like, hey, maybe I should just chill out? No.

Just log off? No. Twitter.com. I live for this. Okay. That's RG3. He likes the interactions. I think sometimes he pokes the hornet's nest and he enjoys the swarm.

Okay, RG 3 with the second take he giving away today. All right, we have next up bet of the year. Very important category. We actually should go through our like history of the take ease and see how many different awards we've given because we have some repeats, but we have a ton that are just see how many different awards we've done. Because we have some repeats, but we have a ton that are just We have a list. Yeah, we do. It's like 150. Anyone can be nominated for anything.

I woke up in the middle of the night last night in a cold sweat, panicking, because we are not doing Southern of the Year this year. I was like, oh shit, we forgot that one. But that makes it more illustrious that you don't know what year your award may come up. Right. Like if you're doing the Oscars and there are no good movies, you could just be like, we're just going to do best, best, uh,

cinematography. We'll do best costume design. We're not doing best picture. You all suck. Yeah. It's there should be like, you should be able to change it year to year and there should be an award. Like it was an okay movie of the year. Yeah. There were no good documentaries this year, so we will not be giving that award out. Yeah, movie I'd like to most jerk off to. That's, now that's an award.

That should be an Oscar award. Get Swordfish. Yeah, Swordfish. That's a good one. Good call. All right, bet of the year. We have some really good nominees. We have, first off, the K-State Burrito guy

who tweeted, if K-State loses to BYU, I'll shove a beefy five layer burrito up my ass. BYU won the game 38 to 9. And then he went on to shove the burrito up his ass. And BYU tweeted, live moss with their final score. Mm-hmm. That's fourth meal.

Yeah. Yeah. We have next up the FSU poop guy who really set the tone for bets of the year this year when he said that if Florida State loses to Boston College this weekend, I will eat dog shit out of a red solo cup with a spoon and post a video of me doing it. Book it. Florida State lost 20 to 13 to Boston College. He did not. He actually deleted his account. He's a coward. He's a fraud. We should never forget. It was a disgrace. He ruined Florida State lost 28 to 13 to Boston College. He did not. He actually deleted his account. He's a coward. He's a fraud. We should never forget. It was a disgrace. He ruined Florida State's season.

Yep. Next up, we have the Travis Hunter Heisman bet by all of us. Good job, Travis. Good job. Good job, nominee. Great bet. We also have Hank saying he could dunk. This was a good bet. Well... Define good. I got in good shape. Okay. Well, actually, that's funny because the next nominee is Hank saying he'd have a six pack.

This was old. Meh, you've been saying it a lot. I almost had a six pack at one point in a dunk bet. Okay, and then finally, Hank saying he could out-drive PFT. This was a bad bet. This was a really bad bet, really dumb. You kind of bullied me into it, and I regretted it every day ever since was on the heels of losing the dunk Bet and you had to you had to try to reclaim your masculinity. Yep. Yeah, I understand you're under pressure

Okay, but hey eight yards. Yeah bad could have been a lot worse. Good bet. All right, better the year the winner is K state burrito guy. He shoved a full five layer burrito up his ass. He wins the takey for bed of the year. Salute to that guy. Great follow through on his part. I remember seeing it and I was like, wow, he did it. Okay, I don't know if we actually wanted this, but okay. Yeah, when you crap out a seven layer burrito,

or what was it, five layer? Five layer. Five layer that you shove up your ass. Does it look different than if you had eaten it? Oh, I don't know.'t know like it's probably pretty similar This though this is the bed of the year because it was right off the heels of the FSU poop guy And he basically was like this is how it's done at K state We shove food up our ass when we say we're gonna win a game and then lose that game ema. Yeah

Every man a wildcat. All right next up PFT. Our fourth award of the night is a very special one It is the 17th best quarterback of the year award. Mmm 17th best quarterback in the NFL and last year who won Dak Prescott Dak Prescott won the 17th best quarterback of the year award he is nominated again and the nominees for the 17th best quarterback of the year of 2025 are Gino Smith, Dak Prescott, Daniel Jones, Joe Flacco, Kyler Murray, Bryce Young, Tua and Sam Darnold. Great pack, great pack of nominees this year and we have a special video over the 17th best quarterback of the year award. Excited for this. I heard

PFC and Max talking about takeys. Yeah. College football top personality. What do you beat out Andy Staples and Dave's not weighing it, no Cornelli, big cash really impressed. This is a bit, what's happening, what are you doing? You're one, take it, it's number one. Have you been sent here? I only sent myself. I over-earned Max and PFT talking 17 minutes ago. Why don't you know, 17 minutes? Did you agree it's been weird?

I guess speaking of 17, Dak Prescott finished eighth in the 17th best quarterback award takey. So that's pretty cool. What are you doing? Why are you telling me there was also the takings? What are you doing? Why are you telling me there was also the takings? Because I'm an informant. I support you. I look out for you. How long have you been here? Right here?

No, no, no. How long have you been here? November, December 2023. You've been my greatest ally. You've never informed me of anything before. That's untrue. Last week I gave you roughness info that's just because I was ignoring the group chat yeah I tell you things here and there

he didn't announce the winner he announced that was a quite a conversation it was a nice peek behind this peek in the air and for everybody that says Brandon Walker he's different he plays a character when he's on the air I think that's a pretty good conclusion that he's not that was good But the winner of the 17th best quarterback of the year is Gino Smith Dacted finish in eighth place. Okay that's something to play for next year. Very close. Okay next up Congratulations, Gino Smith. Next up we have

If they don't even get to the final, they don't get to the finals. I mean, they're going to get to the finals again. They might, they might, they might not. Okay. We're ready for our next award.

Yeah, we might have someone on who can actually accept this award. So this is a very special new award never given out before in the history part of my take it is the part of my take Citizen of the year award and this is maybe the biggest honor that we give out Yes, because it means that you've gone above and beyond as a citizen and we have some great nominees We have Paul Bisson it our great friend for taking the defense of all the staff at the restaurant, getting into a fight with the Irish travelers and, uh, and kind of getting boot fucked in the face outside of CVS. Yep. We have Steph Curry nominated for citizen of the year first performance in the Olympics,

delivering the gold medal to the United States of America in the gold medal game. Yep. Great game. Good job, Steph. We have Bonnie Blue nominated for a Citizen of the Year. Why? I'm not sure. That was not my addition to the nominee list. But she's made a lot of people very happy. It's about community service. Yeah, yeah. She serves the community. It's C-U-M-M-I-T-E-D service. We have the Saints defense has been nominated for Citizen of the Year for giving Mike Evans 10 more yards on the last catch of the season. Oh, wow. And letting him continue the streak of thousand yard seasons. OK, OK. A lot of good nominees.

And this year, the Citizen of the Year Award goes to. Our dear, dear friend, Paul Bisson. Yeah, let's let him in. We have Paul Bisson at here. Thank you for your service, Paul. Congratulations. I didn't realize it was this intense. We have Paul Bisson at here. He is one citizen of the year. Uh, congratulations Paul. You are citizen of the year for the 2025 take ease. Well, you know, but you mentioned yesterday via text that that was going to happen. And you gave it to me originally. I didn't realize you guys had a annual award show for it.

Yeah. And I remember like gambling it away. Remember I was trying to like promote gambling, which I suck at. And I put it on the, I believe that Notre Dame fighting Irish QB to pass for a certain amount of touchdownss a certain amount of yards I think it was a three leg parlay and I don't think one of them hit so I completely mushed the fighting Irish So I thought I actually lost citizen of the year. No, not my hand gave it right back to you. Yeah Okay, despite my horrible gambling efforts and trying to draw attention to DraftKings. I still need to retain the award. So If I have to I have to give it a speech. Oh yeah, speech please, please, please. I just thank the people at

Barstool man. What a company to work for. Just yeah, I'm just grateful to be a part of this crazy pirate ship. Obviously you guys included and yeah I'll dedicate it to back to Barstool. Okay. What about the what about the people of Houston's. Yeah. What about the people of Houston's to find staff finds family establishment. Well that's a given. I thought I said that very clearly in my post game comments when the officer body cams where I fully tire pumped the staff and saying it's one of the best restaurant establishments on the planet as far as like price point consistency the way they handled effort people told me that I was wrong and saying it was like Like military like yeah

I think you said militaristic, but I think you're referring to their discipline the discipline Yeah And I just marvel at it and And it's why I frequent there. And especially at the end of playoffs, when I was like completely gas, like going 10 months, the full season where the last thing I want to do is cook or do groceries. Like guys, I was going there like nine times a week. I think I have, I think I have a Houston's addiction. Well, yeah. Stopped going there and then you got gout. What does that teach you? Mm-hmm. So I would always get the steak there, the filet. I would do the traditional salad and then and then follow it up with the filet with the potato calcone or sometimes the baked potato.

Sometimes I'd go to the rice if it wasn't a certain time where they made the calcone or baked potato available. I think that's before five o'clock. But yeah, what a speech. But, I think that's before five o'clock, but, uh, yeah, what a speech, but, but, but going back to it, I think there were other elements that were, um, uh, hurting my gout. Uh, I read something recently that like glucose intake has a lot to do with it where I don't drink alcohol anymore, but like my treat is I drink, uh, pops, maybe a couple of pops a day. And I was shocked though that, you know, even at 40, I wouldn't be able

to do at least a couple Coca Colas. People told me to go to Diet Coke. I fucking hate Diet Coke. So but I've I've cut out pop. I've cut out a lot of sodium intake. And I think it just kind of brings it all back to Houston's. They say my life. Yeah, I think you're my life. I admire how the links that you're willing to go to to say that it's not the two stakes a day that caused the gout. It's gotta be something else.

Yeah. Well, I've been threatened by the carnivore society. Yeah. If I blame it on red meat. That's a bad society to get threatened by. I'll have a fucking red dot on my forehead if I blame the red meat. Oh.

I'll get sniped. I'm in Jackson Wyoming right now. The last thing I'm going to do is blame steak or any type of red meat to blame for anything. That's smart. Hardcore out here. That's smart. Well biz since the year. Incredible title. You mentioned at the beginning here you've never seen the take ease. You didn't know we were doing this every year. There's our ninth annual take ease. Would you want to stick around for one just one more award just so you can see how it goes. I would I would love to. Okay great. I was also going to ask you guys quickly though. You got to go to that golf tournament in Tahoe like that must have been an unreal experience. Shout out

to Joe Pavelski. Yes. Badger. He's a Wisconsin Badger. One of the most well liked guys to play the game. And I would probably say top 10 who never won a Stanley Cup where people even from other teams who root of other teams would say ah I wish Pavelski would have got one. Yeah I wish Joe Thornton would have got one. Ovi would have been on that list if he wouldn't have won one, but he did. Maybe next year we'll do a takey for giving away a Stanley Cup. That's very nice. Yeah. That's great, Paul. I also think it was a big win for the NHL over the NBA to have Pavelski beat Steph Curry. That's huge for the sport.

Hockey's on the rise, man. Hockey's on the rise on the rise. All right. Hockey's on a heater as we always say on the podcast the last two years. And on top of that boys we're heading into an Olympic year. Yeah. Yes. Four nations nonsense whole nonsense. Yeah. Stakes are going to be. Yeah they are. All right. So so biz you're going to stick around for this next award. Can you maybe do whatever the award ends up being. Can you do an acceptance speech for that? Cause that was such a great acceptance speech for the year. All right, great. All right. So the next award is exhibition win of the year. So this is a, who had the best win in the exhibition game that ultimately did not matter. One that was just kind of for fun. Yeah. Laughs. Yeah. Nobody took two

who fought here. Okay. Right. No one remembers it remember an exhibition game, right? So like we want to we want to let everyone know like hey these wins like hey, this was the best exhibition win It doesn't really matter at all, but we're giving a takey. All right, so the nominees are Shaq OGs in the NBA All-Star game huge win for Shaq OG. What an exciting game that was. Yes forget I think there were four teams. Yeah, and they emerged they emerged the champion. I mean it's like March Madness but for the NBA it was an incredible experience and I think we all remember where we were when Shaq's OGs won. What was the final score? No, no, don't care. Oh geez, isn't that an important detail about this award? Well, this is the exhibition of the year. It's the game that literally does not matter. Okay. Yeah. You guys also said that about the four. Okay.

So here we go. Next up we have team Manning in the pro bowl. Team Manning won the pro ball. I don't know which manning it was. Yeah, I see. I think it was, I think it was Cooper. Next up we have Mexico versus us. Mexico won that game in the conca cap final exhibition of the year. And then finally the last nominee is team Canada in the four nations and the winner is team Canada. That was a great exhibition match. I am based. You promise that you do an acceptance speech. So accept the award of exhibition of the year for team Canada. I actually was like I kind of was ahead of the answer. Yeah you did.. You caught on after team manning, you caught on. That might have been the smartest thing that's ever happened. Like, holy fuck, did I get

the biz idiot title removed? No. No, because you accepted this. When you got Matthew and Brady Kachuk and you know and all the guys on that team starting fights in a round robin game. Exhibition. That was a different game. Fucking exhibition. It's literally don't tell me right here. My wife exhibition win of the year. Tell me how to fuck my wife. I'll tell you whether it's exhibition or not okay well business a fucking I was a win for Canada and and a precursor to the Olympics coming up it ain't the Olympics we all know that but don't act like they weren't playing for something they were playing for pride they were playing for exhibition win of the year which they got so accept the award do you accept I I decline. No, I decline. I decline. This idiot is gone. This idiot is gone. He's dead.

So by declining that award, you're admitting that Connor McDavid can't win the big one because you just said that I'm not accepting it. Exhibit blah, blah, blah. It's not a big one. Oh, double. Can I have a phone a friend here. Which one do you want? Can I get a phone a friend? We're trying to do a really nice thing by by acknowledging the beautiful beautiful state of Canada phone a friend. Should I call? Should I call Connor McDavid even though he would never know. I just call. He's like oh I thought I had your number blocked. His agent doesn't know Judd. So I'll have to have to go through

him. I do not accept. Okay, you're you're whatever you're you're you're what do you say when you're spouting off? Talking anyway, everything you're saying, you can't win the big one. Screw you. I'm you guys jam me up. All right. And if I could have a phone a friend, it would actually be old. Yeah. It was kind of brought into the whole Folger and all this and who supplied column. Go ahead. I'll give him a call. You can call him right now. Call oldie. Yeah. Do you have his phone? Do you have your phone? Yeah. Let's see. I mean that was it was an exhibition match for his first nuts nuts All you have to say though you have to you have to say oldie day

Should we accept the exhibition win of the year takey or not? Okay, that's all you guys say Business getting smart. I don't have his number stored which is shocking. So I have to go find it back in text Oh here. I know how to find it. I'll type into my search bar Do you have his number yeah, I'll send it to you right now I Bet if you search busy, I bet it comes up. It's probably gonna be the first result. Okay He supplied me with all my weed at the writer cup. Oh my God, dude. I couldn't even fucking think straight there. Okay.

You're right. It was busy. Oh no. Nope. That's not it. I just said it to you. Okay. Thank you.

Thank you for your patience. And what's the question? Do you accept the exhibition of the win of the year? on behalf of Canada All the Oldie it's biz So I'm being presented an award right now on behalf on behalf of Canada I have to accept on behalf of Canada keep Keep in mind, this may or may not be a trap.

Okay, just keep that in mind before I ask it. Would you accept an exhibition win of the year on behalf of Canada in the Four Nations Tournament? An exhibition win? Yes, exhibition win of the year. If you were being offered that award, would you accept on behalf of Canada or would you decline? I think you gotta say yes on that. Yep. Pump the boys wheels, gotta go, baby busy. No, I don't know.

Or what do you say? Do you say no? I think you say yes, babe. You gotta go. You gotta say yes. I know, but. You gotta go. But, okay,, so I don't even know what did Cuz I declined because I feel like they're trying to discredit the victory that Canada had by calling it exhibition

It was an exhibition the boys were playing for keeps so fuck you. We were playing for keeps. This is not an exhibition I'm declining I'm declining Nations cup that for competitive hockey teams played to their best ability Russia's that team Canada won the four nations cup That's what that was it was not an exhibition. It was not an exhibition. No, no, no I thought they're saying I give saying like give a little grief a little award for this no no I don't think so at all I agree with you and thank you for being the rocker Paul yeah we so on behalf of all the because I sent an award I just heard award I've seen everyone in my life get awards around me my

entire life I'm not an award guy that's why I asked if I could phone a friend and you were the second person I thought of who did I say originally Connor McDavid. Oh I said Connor McDavid but I knew that he wouldn't answer. Yeah you can't be you can't be doing that. I was just literally cleaning the cabin air filter. My mind's a little whip your Honda and all of a sudden my daughter's my youngest. She's like Dad your phone's ringing. I said OK she's like OK I your phone's ringing. I said, okay She's like, okay. I'll answer it. I'm gonna see who it is. She got the line said who is it anyway? Just who's cooking with us? She goes it's biz and I said gotta go All right, well, I love you I love you too buddy great seeing you at the Ryder Cup

I couldn't fucking see straight for a few days. I don't know what you brought over there We were hitting straight gas, but I appreciate you brother Bumping and grinding baby. I love you All right, so so we decline we decline all right so that was perfect because that was Canada's two greatest minds coming together Trying to work out a puzzle trying to work out a puzzle. Trying to work out a two piece puzzle. To figure out if they should accept the exhibition of the year award or not. Biz, what do you call it in the NHL when it's like halfway through the season and you take a week off before you get back for the second half and the playoff push? What's that called? Oh, just, I mean like all star break. Oh, so it was the all star game. Okay. So it was

the all star game. Gotcha. Okay. No, they canceled that and then now they replaced it and then now they actually canceled next year's in Long Island. And then that's when why people think that the Islanders got the first overall pick as like a sorry because I think that was part of the agreement for them to take state funded money to help build the arena. So I love that. I love a tin foil hat conspiracy just as much as the next guy. So shut up to Matthew Schaefer and the Islanders man. Did you got he was on our podcast. The kid carved me for 45. Yeah, he was great. He was great. So I don't think he needs a nurse job. Frankie Borelli and the Islanders. I might hop on the wagon with a fisherman.

All right, biz. Thank you. Official scoring. He has accepted Citizen of the Year. He has declined Exhibition Win of the Year. Appreciate you. We love you. And congrats on Citizen of the Year. Love you, boys. That was awesome. Okay. What an award that was. I mean, very un-Canadian to decline an award. So we have the official scoring. Citizen of the Year award has been accepted and the Exhibition Win of the Year award has been declined, but we are giving it to Canada so it will just stay out in the open. I guess we'll keep it.

Yeah. We'll hang on to it for them. Oh yeah, so did we win Four Nations? Yeah, congratulations to us. Congratulations to us. Alright. That was so funny, just biz and oldie. I could watch them.

We gotta get them in an escape room. A reality show together. Holy shit Yeah, they if they were on talking it out if they were on amazing race together trying to navigate their way across like, Florida Oldie just oldie just saying I heard the word award and I blacked out and that's kind of he's never been an award Yeah, not him Okay, we got some more words coming up before we do that The snack wrap in front of us McDonald's this episode of pardon my take is brought to you by McDonald's ever since snack wrap was Removed from the McDonald's menu.

Yeah, give me the money. Give me the money. But yeah, incredible job by Jerry. He's done it again. He's done it again. Excited to see what he has in store for next year. OK, next up we have a Ratio of the Year award. By the way, to the panel, I think

this should be Ratio of the year award in name of Shane Dawson because he is still the number one ratio. If you don't remember, this was what? 10 years ago, six years ago. He won ratio of the year because he tweeted, I didn't fuck my cat. I didn't come on my cat. I didn't put my dick anywhere near my cat. I've never done anything weird with my cats. I promised myself I wasn't going to make apology videos after last year's thing. So I'm just trying to be as short and honest with this as possible. But just in case you didn't get what I said, I did not have sex with my cat. Mm hmm. The Streisand effect.

Yes. He is the ratio of the year forever winner. So ratio of the year nominees. We have representative Josh Williams from Ohio who said, I am proud to introduce the OHOIO Sportsmanship Act to make flag planting at midfield a felony in the state of Ohio behavior that incites violent brawls and puts our law enforcement officers in danger as no place on the football field. This got 16.4 million views, 32,000 replies for this take after Michigan won at the shoe and then decided to plant the flag. Back in the day, we used to build statues of guys planting flags at midfield.

That's a fact, that's a fact. We have the Hollywood Reporter, Hollywood, meet your new A-list from staggeringly talented TikTokers to the Instagram stars We can't look away from these are the names who will and should be dominating the business of new and old media And it's just a picture of a bunch of tick-tockers. I can't name any of them except I think Brianna's in there Maybe Josh Richards Rizzo Rizzo's not in there. No, that's bullshit list 25,000 retweets probably all of them quote tweets and seven

Thousand replies pretty good seven thousand replies we have Katie Perry when it was announced to Katie period donated all the revenue She has made from her album one four three to the victims of the California fire She was quote tweeted by Liam fantasy the wildfire victims And it's a clip from the hit movie Superbad, which is, I'm gonna play the clip real quick. Are you fucking serious? Seven Hawks?

Yep, so that was a big time ratio. The quote-treat ratio always hurts. Tyrese Halliburton, who Ben Stiller said to during the Knicks Pacers series, Tyrese Halberton said, Howie pulled it up to game six in all black fit. Ben Stiller said, good thing he brought his duffel for the flight to New York

for what he was alluding to as game seven. And Tyrese Halberton said, nah, was to pack y'all up. And that one ratioed the fuck out of Ben Stiller. Packed him up. Packed him up. And then finally, our last nominee is Kevin Durant replying to Emmanuel Ocho when Emmanuel Ocho had his legacy formula. And Kevin Durant, so the legacy formula was championships won divided by teams played

forward equals player legacy. So Steph has a 4.0. Braun has a 1.3 and Katie has a 0.4 legacy rating. Yep. Kevin Durant replied, according to the great Kevin Durant's legacy formula that was created in the best labs at MIT, Emmanuel is the worst linebacker of all time. You sure want to listen to this guy about greatness. Yeah, I think that we should have an award for equation of the year. Yeah, the legacy ratio has changed the way that sports talk is done He had 73,000 likes compared to manual watch was 10,000 really good. Okay, and the winner is Kevin Durant. Yeah, good job having a rant for his legacy formula Formulated the Kevin Durant legacy formula that was created in the best labs at MIT

And he ratioed the fuck out of a manual watch in the great words of Kevin Durant legacy formula that was created in the best labs at MIT and he ratioed the fuck out of Emanuel Ocho in the great words of Kevin Durant. There's no relaxed champ. No relaxed when I'm on Twitter I'm on 10 until the second I close the app you relax. Love it. Love it. So congratulations Kevin Durant Please come on the show to accept your award Next up we have the AI video of the year award now some of these might be controversial because we're still not a hundred percent Sure on if they Were AI or not.

Mel Kuyper for his takes on Chador Sanders on draft weekend. That's good. He almost cried. He almost cried. We have Elon Musk when he got upset about Trump. Yeah. He got upset about the Epstein

files. Just chill out. We already said no one cares. He's innocent It's an impersonator. I don't know if you listen that part of the show Elon, but he's innocent person here Treger Trevor Ogilvie the guy who lost the golf fight to Nick Tarnaski I think he may have already received his award. Yeah, and then we finally have Jerry O'Connell at the bet gala for screaming into Hank's ear, which actually wasn't why Hank lost his hearing. It was his ear not popping. Yep. But he also was rock hard and just Yeah, rusting in my face.

I might come up later. Enjoying sports. Hank should be nominated. Just chill out man of the year. Your ear was fine. Yeah. Okay. The winner of the Just Chill Out Man of the Year award is Mel Kuiper. Mel, congratulations. Congratulations. You really laid your emotions out on the line this year.

It was a great bit of television. I hope you've chilled out since then though. Yes, you spent an entire weekend getting upset about Shador Sanders falling in the draft to the point where, I'll say this, it was great TV. I was glued to it. I've never been more glued to a fifth round of the NFL draft watching. Nine time NBA All-Star Damien Liller is finalizing a three year $42 million contract to return. I'm sure blazer sources tell ESPN Wow Wow it's coming home that moves the

needle 0% this feels like he's retiring yeah like he's gonna he's gonna get paid for three years to not really do all that much yeah yeah three three year 42 million NBA is basically nothing yeah yeah yeah but he's still getting paid by the bucks right yeah probably Yeah. Probably. Yeah. So he didn't need to get paid that much. Yeah. Good for him. You're saying that wasn't even breaking Moves worthy? No, I'm just saying it doesn't. Who cares? Yeah. Yeah. Mike Francis, who cares? Yeah. He's just getting paid to go back home. Like I guess maybe the trouble is to make the playoffs at least once in his last three years. Well he's not going to play this year. So the last

two years. That would be nice. Maybe he'll want you know what? One big shot. They're just signing old guys. They're just going going old. He'll hit one big shot. Huge. The next not the next category for the 2025 take ease the preemptive take of the year award. Okay the preemptive take of the year award. Okay. Preemptive take of the year award. So we're gonna go around and we're gonna give our preemptive takes. This is a take that we will then grade later.

We don't remember what our takes were last year, but that's okay, that's how the show runs. Big Cat, what is your preemptive take of the year nomination? My preemptive take of the year in the year 2026 it will be. So the back half of the next year's. The tush push will be banned. Feels like I'm not saying I want it to be. Yep. But that is my preemptive take. I'm staking my reputation on. I think it will be banned. I think that more teams will start complaining. And I think that the NFL wants it banned. Yes.

Even though it is a wet dream of a play. Yes. Max, I am on the side of the tushbush. I do not want it banned. I'm just... this is my preemptive take of the year. I just feel like that's not a very hot take. What do you mean? We've done it every year. Everyone's talking... like, it's gonna come out next year. That's a chalky preemptive take.

Okay, sorry guys. I didn't know I was going first. I had to fucking go fast I'll come back around snake trap. You might be right. Yeah, you might be right though. Yeah, okay, Hank My pre-emptive take of the year Shador Sanders Is going to lead the Cleveland Browns to a wild card spot and make the playoffs Wow that is that's a good take Hank It's good take that's good take I appreciate somebody going out there for maybe an injury well I think we did it with the NFL schedule release I think after like week four he's not gonna start mm-hmm something's gonna happen maybe

Flacco gets injured Shador steps in mm-hmm leads him to glory okay I have a new preemptive take okay this is This is a hot take. All right. The Philadelphia 76ers will make it to the Eastern Conference Finals. Whoa. Wow. Now that. Is that not crazy?

I mean, we just, here it is. It's the opposite of chalk. Yeah. Still alive. Yes. OK. Memes. Just so we're on record, my preemptive take

was right last year. Which was? I said the 76ers were going to implode Paul George you were dead right? Do you know anyone else's? So I have an NBA or an NFL one okay go both So NBA is kind of wild I think Nicole Yocich is gonna force a trade out of Denver at the end of the season To the Chicago Bulls. Whoa

Number one, Serbia population in America. Wow, that's just a wild one. Love that and then NFL Fun fact too. That's fun fact The Washington commanders are gonna miss the playoffs Dead last out of the 2024 QB's in that draft class. You're such a piece of shit me Wow Wow Okay, Matt. It's a good take like I respect I respect you putting your balls out there memes Thank you. You got a split booth say honestly like one of them thinks he's gonna be you know all-time great one of them Thinks he's gonna fall off a cliff well

I mean listen I don't want memes to hear this, or just between the three of us, the fact that he's going after Jane Daniels like that, kinda racist. Kinda racist memes. We would never say such a thing about Justin Fields. You had him as bad question mark. Question mark, it was a question. We were having a conversation.

It's a question. Touche. I read the Joel Embiid article last night and I went to the Draft King Sportsbook to place this preemptive take of the year and then I read a little bit further in this article and I took it away, the bet away, but I will be saying that Joel Embiid will be winning the MVP. Wow! Wow, MVP? Well that's not really, he's won one.

It's 70 to 1. Has he ever been to the Easter Conference Finals? It one 70 to 1 has he ever been to Easter conference finals It's seven sounds like mine's a little crazier than yours Yeah We can look at the odds of that but then I went back I was going to make the bet and then I went back and then it says that he's he will not be returning until he's 100% and he will not be priority Prioritizing the regular season this year, which made me second guess that take a little bit, but I'm going back to my original idea.

It's like when you're in school and you're taking a test, you always gotta go with your gut. And my gut said that Joel Embiid is gonna win MVP this year, and I'm sticking with Joel Embiid will win the MVP. 74. I mean, that's a wild take, Max. On the DraftKings Sportsbook, 71. Down here for the East?

Yeah, I could see it. Zach? My take is that uh, I Watch a lot of a commander's football back home cuz my mom my mother my brother are commanders fans So we're house divided there. I don't have sex mom. How you doing? Respectfully, of course respectfully Yeah, I do It's all right

I do have a lot of fun watching Jane Danes play football and I think that he's gonna defy the sophomore slump and have a fantastic Season love that got all his guys coming back Probably you guys gonna say anything about that. That was way chalkier than my Terry. No, he's right Exactly. That's an awesome. Daniels still gonna be good Zach's mom knows that's crazy. Hey back me up here. That's not a great takes Well, yeah, no, it's a good take. It's really good. Come early the year right there on take. I love it Zach we got fast Evo Probably Terry probably Really good newcomer of the year right there. Strong take. I love it, Zach. We got Fast Debo, probably Terry, probably. Sky's the limit. He may do it the entire season with a smile on his face.

He might, yeah. And what about girls? Will he get a girlfriend? That would be a hot take. There was a video that came out the other day, Hank. Yeah? I don't know if it's real or not, but hehmm, but he was having a good time with juju. Oh Yeah, real good time. I

Would like cousins or something I'd like no what memes were you laughing about? Nothing nothing. I thought you're gonna say he was having a good time at a fast food restaurant with Debo. No He was not okay yours My take I do you have one I'm kind of scared to say mine because it's in the same vein as last year's all right last last year We'll remember that you all is gonna refresh Last year I said Gus Edwards lead the league and rushing touchdowns Okay, and I couldn't have been more wrong, so I'm gonna to go Omarion Hampton, offensive rookie of the year. What about Najee? Doesn't have an eye.

Oh, yeah. Allegedly. There's no eye in Najee. Also, let me just toss in one more preemptive take. I think this is the year that Shane's going to start liking onions. No. He sleeps with an onion.

Could. That's true. Could. I want you to storm out so bad. All right. My preemptive take of 2025,26. I truly believe this by the way I think that the situation that Caleb Williams is in right now Oh, you're such is the best situation in the history of second year quarterbacks

It might be in the entire NFL think about it. They short up the offensive line. Mm-hmm big weakness from last year, right? They got rid of Matt Eberfluss. That's good for six wins right there. Oh last year right? They got rid of Matt Eberfluse that's good for six wins right there. They finally have a GM and a coach that are lined up on the same contract. They've got an offensive wizard at head coach who's got a bag that's deeper than the Mariana Trench. And he's just a good quarterback. He's still got the physical tools. The physical tools were there. He had a good season last year. Statistically it was okay. He's still got the physical the physical tools were there. He had a good season last year Statistically it was okay

Not as bad as many of the haters said that it was this is the best setup possible For a second year quarterback in the history of the NFL. You know what you just did one You just made me almost go to six and a half out of ten. I didn't yeah almost made me get there I'm at a ten. I'm at a ten on Caleb. I like that take Okay, good takes of the year. Preemptive takes of the year. All right. We got three left. We have Bonk of the Year, we have Blake of the Year, we have podcast listeners of the year. Three huge awards. Massive.

Huge, huge awards. Next up, Bonk of the Year. The nominees are the entire internet for Sydney Sweeney breaking up with her boyfriend. Mm-hmm. And also the soap thing. And also Hank you should probably try to get with her. Yeah. I am. Actively. You should. We have JOC, our good friend Jerry O'Connell for not wearing underpants and being rock hard in Hank's face during the Celtics Knicks game at the Beck Gala. Pretty incredible. Pretty incredible. PFT for whatever you said. For the whole thing. Steve Smith kind of a story we forgot. Yeah noted. Yeah noted. One of the best. How about PFT for when he tweeted Casey Anthony's back. She's so back. Yeah

This is who is with the girl that he was having sex with he was having sex with a married woman She said take me deep down your throat like you kind of like or no. So he said take me deep down your throat like you kind of like you wanted to suck me off. She wrote back I did I would have gagged on it. But if I but I had to come home. He said, you enjoy it. You like to feel it. She said, I like feeling it deep in my wet pussy. He replied me too

Letting you taste Though would be a turn-on. I would have shot my nut all inside your pussy She wrote back. I love making you come. I enjoy it more when you come inside me. He replied noted Mmm, wasn't there some IUD rearrangement that went on in that too? Yeah. I think he stirred things up a little bit. Oh man noted. That is very bonk worthy. Uh, and then our final nominee for bunk of the year, Shannon sharp, just for everything, the Instagram live and the rest, everything. All right. The winner of bonunk of the Year for the 2025. Pardon my take take ease is

our good friend Jerry O'Connell. Jerry Congrats buddy. All right. And he is here to accept his award. Wow. Wow. What. What an honor. I got to tell you I didn't... It's an honor to have this. I want to thank the Academy. By the Academy, I mean the three of you and Max and Zach and memes. But, you know, I wasn't expecting to be aroused when I got there. And then when the Knicks came back from 20 in the fourth quarter, Hank was next to me and Hank was dressed like a cowboy, I just I got to move for a second because actually I'm sitting next to my daughter right there. I got so I got so fucking rock hard and excited because the Knicks were going to beat the Celtics and they did. because the Knicks were gonna beat the Celtics. And they did. And I just couldn't believe it.

And just blood started blowing everywhere. And you know what? At first when you said I got the Bonk of the Year award, I was kind of ashamed. But no, now I'm proud and I'm excited. And I just want anyone to know, for any man, I'm sorry to assign gender, who's feeling not like vital, not alive. Just let Mr. Bing Bong, Mr. Bing

Bong flow through your bloodstream, through your veins. And there's nothing quite like it. So I accept this award for Bonk of the Year. And I'm really excited. Now let me go sit down next to my daughter. Congratulations, Jerry. You hear what I said, honey, honey. I'm on part of my take. Hello. Testing testing.

Yeah. She'll never know. Her mom will never know. It's great. Yeah. It was a good one. I would have preferred it. If maybe if it had something to do with Tiffany go mass, I was rubbing up on Hank.

I just want to say, um, Hank and to say Hank and I have a thing now. We have a connection. It's a fact. It's a lifelong connection. Oh, honey. I'd like you to meet your new dad. His name is Hank. That's your dad. He's going to teach you golf. You and I, we're a modern couple. Get with it. Be cool with it, Hank. I know you're like a little weird about stuff like that, but just be open. All right. Open to the universe. Say hi to your new dad. Say hi. Thank you, Jerry fucking kids. You believe this shit? Yeah, you're the best Jerry. Thank you We can't wait to see you camp bar stool. Love you Jerry. Love you. Love you. All right, bye That was incredible. It was great. That's our guy. I was yeah, I like that. Mr. Bing bong isn't something that lives inside Jerry's brain

It's actually his dick. Yeah, mr. Bing bong when it gets hard. Oh, I'm so happy We didn't tell him that he was winning that award. We need to do that with more of these winners. Just bring them on and just be like, hey, you won this award. Jersey, Jerry, Biz, Jerry O'Connell. It's been a great takeys. Yeah. And now we have one of my favorite awards. We have the Blake of the Year Award, one of the greatest awards that we give out every

single year. This is our eighth time giving out Blake of the Year. So let's get to Blake of the Year. And before we get to the Blake of the Year award, it's brought to you by McDonald's. The snack wrap has always had a lot of fan love. Maybe it's had a hold on the fans because the snack wrap is the perfect bite in the palm of your hand.

Featuring the juicy white meat chicken, refreshing shredded lettuce, melty cheese and creamy ranch all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. The snack wrap is back and we're so glad that it is. It's so tasty, so convenient, so awesome, such a good deal. Great value, tastes even better. Enjoy the snack wrap for the first time in nine years at a McDonald's near you. Okay, it's time.

Probably the most important takey we give out every single year, it is the Blake of the Year time. Blake Bortles, Blake Griffin, Brooks Kapka, they are all nominated for Blake of the Year, and we're gonna do it like we've done it a few times before, old school style. We are going to send a Zoom link to all three Blakes. They'd been given a window. So I told them there's a three-hour window that we could

decide Blake of the Year, so they're at least aware because this was a time zone disaster. Blake Griffin's in Hawaii. Blake Portles is in Florida. Brooks Koepka's in Northern Ireland. Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, the big storyline at home is can Blake win the big one? Yeah. Because Brooks Koepka has not won. He has not. And that weighs heavily on him. So what is the actual tally?

Do we have, I think it's, is it four for Blake Griffin and three for Blake Portles? I think Griffin's got four. So he's going for- I mean, he's pulling it up. One for the thumb for him. This is going to be a big one. This would be just dominant. Yep dynasty But yeah, we don't know can can Brooks Koepka. Can he kind of dig himself out of that hole?

He only cares about big tournaments. Yeah, this is the biggest tournament of them all Yeah, and he still has that glaring empty space on his mantle. It would be a shocker if he wins this I think it's I think every year if you had to release odds It's like Blake Griffin Griffin minus 150 Blake Bortles probably plus 120. Yeah Brooks Koepka 40 to 1. Yeah, I'd say that's fair I mean there's a lot of doubters out there for Brooks Koepka. Yeah, is he even a Blake? Well, we're starting to ask some people then also reverse it and say him not caring about this makes him the most play I would say that that is a hundred percent accurate like we need we didn't call in for about two hours

I think it was like two days in Portugal. I think yeah, that's the most Blake move that there is but unfortunately This is the way that we decide the award. Yep, and Yeah, maybe the best Blake when alright, so what do we have memes? It's four to three and it does look like Blake Griffin has won all phone calls and zoom calls. Okay. Wow There was a time that Blake Borle said yeah, he lost by like a split second. That was a heartbreaker for him All right. So here we go. We have the zoom up We have all three Blake's on one text chain. Are you guys nervous? I'm always I'm very nervous I started timer. What do you guys what do you guys got for over under on on time? I think we're cool

Sure, I think we have our first day too. I think we have our first Blake within within a minute. I Also like this also is one of those things send it are they no I haven't like is your zoom set up Sometimes you have to update these things matter. Mm-hmm. Are you connected to Wi-Fi? Yeah I think Blake is the only one Blake Griffin is the only one that would be Remotely have a zoom seat rains Blake Griffin trains for the Blake is the only one, Blake Griffin is the only one that would remotely have his Zoom set up. He trains. Blake Griffin trains for the Blake of the Year award.

He does reps. That's why he's got four. He's the only one. He puts it in his calendar. He preps. He stays close to the router. Remember the year that he sat close to the router? Yeah.

To get the better Wi-Fi? Five to three would be a commanding lead. Yeah, this is going to be Blake Griffin. But a four to four would be an incredible turn of Blake of the Year. I think four to four, obviously, like, what a story to four would be an incredible yeah turn of Blake of the year I think four to four obviously like what a storyline that would be five to three you start to have the Big up starts to feel like Brady Manning and if it's Brooks, we're going nuke. Oh We have we should get champagne. I think we got a party. Yeah, we've bought. Yeah. Yeah. All right

You guys ready count me down five Four to five three. We always I want to start 20 30 31 Me said it 29 means any thing to be within five seconds seconds. I think twenty three sex 25

Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God.

Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Can we get Blake Bortles in here? That's five, five all the way from Hawaii from way downtown. Blake was right there. Oh, portals again is second place. Can you hear me? Yeah. Yeah. He came in second by like two seconds. It was that close. It's devastating. It's just, I mean, Blake, you have to ask yourself, it feels like every year we're in this exact same spot where you join the zoom and Blake Griffin's already here. Yeah. I think it just comes down to

like I'm bouncing my head off my ceiling. Like this is just as good as I get. Yeah. It's like running into Patrick Mahomes every year. That's right. There's no way around it. Seconds just gotta be where you live. Oh man. All right. Blake. You are now a five time Blake of the year. Blake Bortles has three championships. This is this is the separating one. Like it was four to three. We were saying beforehand if it went four to four, like, hey, we got a real rivalry. Now you're you're peerless. You have no peers. You have five of them.

Listen, I put in the work. I flew out to Hawaii. I've been holed up in a house in Hawaii for the past two weeks waiting for this. Oh my God. It does feel good. I would like to talk about Brooks. What's going on? Yeah. But we were saying this is the most Blake thing that you can do. Arguably is just not care. Yeah. Yeah. He, uh, he, yeah, I don't know if he'll join what we'll like. He is in England. He's about to play in the open championship. Maybe next year we'll find a different weekend that he's not, uh, this many time zones away, but yet again, it's, it's Blake first Blake and Blake has

won. Oh, Blake always wins. Yeah. Would you say this? Is this the hardest one that you've had to win being in Hawaii and all? Yeah. I think just, just like, you know, you can become complacent sometimes. I think, um, I dunno, I just, every year I know Bortles is bringing it. I really, We don't really have to worry about Brooks, which is kind of nice. Yeah. So I don't know. Wasn't it like two seconds last year as well? Yeah. Yeah. I think this is the fastest one. Yeah. So, so Blake Bortles, are you, you have lost back to back years, uh, maybe four seconds total that has separated you. Is there anything

you can do? Are you going to train or is there like, are you just like, Hey, this is what I have. Like I'm just going up against the monster. Yeah, it's definitely, it's going to be an obstacle to overcome. I just, I don't know how much better I can get. I've maxed out my potential. The first 15 minutes of this window, I was staring at my phone. Then I got briefly sidetracked by children and then I locked back in and couldn't have clicked on the link any faster That's do we do we make sure that zoom was updated. Was that good to go? Yeah, I was on a zoom call earlier today. Everything was fine

I mean everything was was ideal for a win today and And I lose again. There will be people who ask, is it time to change the format of Blake of the year? Because Blake Griffin has been so dominant on the phone. I don't know if we're ready to have that conversation yet. Should we go back to the lottery balls? That was fun. Yeah, we could.

We could do, we could do seating for next year. Yeah, we could do seating. I'm open to, I'm open to switching up the format Okay, I mean could you imagine if the one verse 16 if Brooks Koepka somehow beat Blake Griffin in the first round next year? Yeah, that would be incredible. It's true. Send her host to it. Yeah, I think our odds were exactly right We said beforehand our odds are Blake Griffin minus 150 Blake Bortles plus 120. Brooks Kapka 40 to one. And it feels like that just proves true every year. I mean, it's also kind of unfair. He is playing in a major this weekend. So he's, you know, he's probably on the course grinding.

Well, isn't it? He's in England. Isn't it like 8pm there? Yeah, it is. Yeah. R. I think five hours grinding. I mean on the ground. Yeah. Yeah. Blake Bornells, have you finished your house? Yes, it's complete. We're looking at it. Are you sad that your construction guys are gone? I am. Yeah, I think they I made friends with them. I bring beer and I think that could have caused it to take six to eight months longer than it should have been. But I enjoyed our Friday afternoons together, so I wouldn't have changed it. Blake Bortles, did you hear any of the interview with Trevor Lawrence that we had this week? Because he had nothing but the nicest things to say about you. I did not.

I missed it. How'd I go? Trevor's the man. Yeah, he just said that your reputation was pristine in that locker room. He can still feel your presence in there. So he's, he actually said he might cut his hair if he wants the Superbowl and a tribute to you. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if I could, I'd have his hair and I'd trade in a heartbeat with him. Mine is shaved, you know, by default. Yeah. He also said that he would let us stay at his house without him there. Wow. Yeah. Which is something you, Blake Griffin,

we never asked you that. Would you let us stay at your house without you there. Wow. Yeah. Which is something you Blake Griffin. We never asked that. Would you let us stay at your house without you there? Yeah, I'm in Hawaii. You guys want to pop over to the house? Swing by the crib. Perfect. Yeah. Cause Blake Bortles did do that once where he forgot we were coming over to stay at his house and he was like, Oh, just here's the code. I'll be back in like five hours. And we just hung out at his house waiting for him. That's I mean, that's a true Blake right there. mean shirt off shirt off your back house off your property. Yeah

You guys had filmed the whole music video on the back walkway by the time I got home Yeah, Blake Griffin have you thought about legacy yet I've It's sort of been washing over me. I've been thinking like, do you do the thing? You get try to get six and then retire like Jordan? Although you can never truly retire from being a Blake. I don't know. I'm just soaking it up right now, to be honest. Yeah. Okay. All right. Last question for both of you. I don't know if you saw the news that we're writing a book for the 10 year anniversary of pardon my take. You guys are both going to have to write at least one chapter. All right. Well Chad GPT will be on it. Yeah. Are you playing portal? She can you write a chapter for us? No. I mean you remember my research and work ethic towards the book club that we had Wikipedia club period of time.

Yeah, I give you a sentence. OK, all right. Yes, I said it's I'll take a set. You just talk to her ghostwriter for five minutes. Yeah, he writes the chapter. Yeah. Well, we why don't we each give you a sentence and then we just we don't know what the other one's writing and we hope that those two sentences flow together. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, we'll we'll finish Blake Griffin's and then it's choose your own adventure to read Blake Bortles section. Turn two pages.

Oh, all right. Well, thank you boys. We appreciate it so much. Uh, this, we love doing this award. Uh, and, uh, I w we'll keep the zoom open for, for Brooks Capco. He'll, he'll probably never arrive. Yeah. We'll see if he does. Uh, congrats again to Blake Griffin. Five time Blake of the year back to back champion. There's a three in a row. Is it three in a row? Uh, no. It's two in a row. No, is it you won? You won, um, three times ago. You've won two and a, yeah, two in a row. One, two in a row. Yeah. Like one was 2023. Like the year. Yeah. So next year is going for a three Pete. That's historic. Yeah, we gotta break that up. Well, next year is that the 10 year anniversary? Yeah. Of Blake of the year.

Nine year I think we didn't nine years. Okay. All right. That's gonna be a big one. That's gonna be the diamond one. Yeah, because there's been eight Blake of the years. Blake Griffin has five Blake Portals has three never been a three Pete. Wow Wow I gotta say the real winner is the listeners because this was a great competition yeah like neck and neck fair fight I feel I've shut out the AWLs yeah no losers in this one except for Blake Bortles well and Brooks Kepka yeah there's two losers yeah yeah all right thank you boys should we just stay on till Brooks Jones. Yeah. We'll stay out till Brooks Jones. Let you guys go. Yeah. We'll see you guys. Oh there he is.

Why is this happen every time I'm overseas. So Brooks Capca finishing in third place in Blake of the year for yet another year. Yeah. The timer was up. I think it was, I think you joined. Let's see. You joined a solid 17 minutes after Blake Griffin won the award. I'm not surprised Blake one. Are we shocked? He's got five now. Uh, yeah. He's joining us. Uh, five and uh, Blake Bortles has three and you have zero. We, we said beforehand, we put the odds at you. Uh, I think you were 40 to one to win this. Yeah. I think it was a longer shot. Yeah. I mean as a gambling man, I think it was a lot longer. What do we have to do to get competitive next year? I really think we maybe do this while I'm on the same time zone. Okay. That's actually not. We got to push it back a week.

Okay. We push it back or do we move it forward? I got to, I got to figure out what I'm doing next year. I got to look at the schedule. Yeah. Yeah. I still think we should try to do it. All three Blake's in the same place. We got to, we got to maybe figure that out because it would be an incredible kind of competition or some kind of something where we're all together. Yeah. That's the first, but Hey props to Blake for winning. Wow. What an effort. It's just been an incredible run for him. What, where were you when you saw the text and what went through your head? Uh, the same thing that usually goes through God, I'm so late in this. Was there even a small percentage of you that was like, Hey, maybe I just

got lucky this year. Ah, I was hoping, but there's yeah, I'm an idiot. I don't know. 17 minutes later. Yeah. I mean, I think that saying I forgot is a completely acceptable reason. Yeah, I think it is. Hey, you know, it's funny. I looked at my phone and I saw the text that was like, hey, it's open. We're good. All right And I was like, okay. All right, great I felt like I literally checked my phone five seconds later and then boom here I am 17 minutes late

Yeah, because I said the text right at the beginning Of the window saying hey, we are now officially open for Blake of the year Just so you guys were all aware and then yeah, it just you blacked out and I'm gonna blame it on the bad Wi-Fi Okay, that's that's that's the excuse. I'm going with that's what I'm gonna stick with Good excuse. You also have a fair excuse You are literally playing in a golf major this week and the other two blakes are currently unemployed So that's a big that's a big difference. I do have that going for me. Yes. Yeah. You have that going that I'm still an active participant in a sport. How are you feeling about this weekend?

Feel good. I feel good. I swear we're gonna, if, if I win this week, we're going to have to organize the, all the Blake's get together. All of us get together because we're coming to Chicago. I think soon. Yeah. I actually,

I'm going to say this right now. I think if you win the open championship, you win Blake of the year this year. I think Blake Griffin should agree to that. I think Blake Griffin should agree to that. Hold on. I'll call him real quick. I think he would, I think he would say that's fair. Yeah. I'm going to call him real quick. That would be great. Bordals might get upset because Bordals was about two seconds after Blake Griffin this year. Well, he didn't win. So he doesn't yeah, I was super close. Yeah. I'm going to say that I definitely called first. It's just the wifi is bad. Like we're talking to Brooks right now. It's literally just called in two minutes ago. This is, this is, this is a hundred percent your, your call. I do not want to

force you into anything, but I have proposed the idea that if Brooks Koepka wins the open championship this weekend, he officially gets your Blake of the Year title this year. Are you willing to do that? 100%. Okay, all right. So he's got a chance. He's got redemption art.

I'm not dead. I love it, he's not dead. You're playing for something bigger than yourself this weekend. Oh, absolutely. You're playing for Blake. I'm playing for. I love it. He's not dead. You're playing for something bigger than yourself this weekend Oh, absolutely playing for play. I'm playing for all the Blake At some point in the interviews, I would like acknowledgement I think it literally might just be a mic drop. It's it. I gotta acknowledge at least Ricky Elliott Mike caddy. Yeah. Yeah. Course interview. You know the press conference. Yeah. You said in the press conference it doesn't have to be on the course. It could be in the press conference. Whatever. I literally

would just say Blake Griffin and then walk right out. Yeah. No you just all you gotta say is and this means that I'm now Blake of the year. Thank you to Blake Griffin for so generously giving me this opportunity verbatim. That's what it'll be. Okay. All right. All right. We're good. Thank you, Blake. All right. I mean, what a story. What a story this would be. Yeah. Blake the year is not. We've decided it, but it's still open. Yeah. Oh man. I love it so hard. I'll tell you what. Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, they've never won a Blake of the Year on the same day they won a major. Yeah.

No, that's very true. Yeah, I mean, that would be the, if I won this week, that would be the seventh major. Yeah, you got to hold up seven and have everyone be confused. They're like, what the fuck? He's only got six. No, he's got seven. I've never wanted to win a golf tournament. So bad.

All right. Well, Brooks, thank you. You're the best. Best of luck this week. And, uh, we're rooting for you hard. Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm, uh, I'm rooting for myself very hard right now. All right. All right. See you, man. All right. See you boys. Okay. Uh, I think we're done, right? Yep. No. Oh. No, we're not.

So shout out to you guys. Couldn't do without you.

Love you. Well deserving. Listen, PFT said it, but it is the greatest job ever. And I was actually thinking about it as well because we have to write this book and AWOs do have to buy it now that they've won nine in a row. But it's pretty crazy, especially in the media business and everything that goes on and it's hard business to be in. And there's people who lose their jobs, get their jobs,

new shows, all this stuff, to do the same show with the same guys for nine years and still love it just as much as day one. And that's really the truth. We love coming in and working together, and we love doing a really stupid podcast for all of you that listen and watch and can't thank you enough because you guys are, you were the reason why we have this

and you are the reason why we do it every single day for you guys and if it weren't for your support, none of this would be possible and we do not take that for granted a single day and so well-deserving nine time AWLs out there There's a lot of you out there that are nine times and even if you're a five times six times three times one time Doesn't matter we thank you so so much from the bottom of our hearts that you listen and you participate and you enjoy the show Because we're gonna keep making it for as long as we can. I'd like to hear from the one-timers just yeah Uh-huh. It's probably interesting to see probably really confusing episode

One timer yeah is actually a one I'd like to be interested to hear about I want to hear from somebody that this is Their very first episode a part of my take that they're listening to someone's girlfriend. Yeah. Yeah, yeah So you just want an award hit us up. We promise not to sick Zack on you Zack lady killer lady stealer. That's fact Hank you have anything you want to say to the nine time media videos? Love you guys Love seeing you guys out there supportive, you know say mean stuff online, but they're always nice in person This is the Spotify wrapped all over yeah, what the fuck dude, why'd you say the mean stuff online? No, I don't that's that's how I feel about it's

Like sometimes people like oh like the people are people are mean It's like I've never had a bad interaction with an AWL in person and that is all that matters But also I appreciate that they do give a shit sometimes we fuck up a lot So we're human when we fuck up make fun of us I also don't think we know the full strength of the AWS because we don't weaponize them. You know what I mean? We don't memes does occasionally memes does occasionally But we know you're there and we love you and even for the people that aren't online who aren't responding or you know commenting We love you and we appreciate you so much and you're heard and seen as well max

You want to say something to be else? No, I was just memes was just talking about whether he weaponizes the AWLs back here. Oh, he does yeah Yeah, but yeah, no, they're the best. I love seeing you guys out in the wild all the time It's it's funny though because people probably the number one thing that I get is fuck Hank So yeah, so that's great. And I love you guys. I've only haven't been here for nine years, but the time that I've been here has been great and hopefully there's nine more years in the future. Yeah, and more. And more.

Yeah. Yeah. And if you do see memes out in the wild, just make sure to give them some advice on the lottery ball. Yeah. He appreciates it all. But it's a very lucky thing that we have. Doing this job changed my life, changed Big Cat's life, changed Hank's life.

From the bottom of our hearts, we really do appreciate you guys and we love you very deeply. Very very much. Very very much. You guys deserve this award because you are year in and year out. We see the numbers. You're there and you deserve it. Okay, we're going to do a quick quick fire fest Uh before we do that p.m. To your last two ads then we'll do lottery ball.

Mm-hmm You ever break one of those a bean bag., no yeah, it's pretty my college friend Tommy He cut one out of anger and it it literally it takes forever to clean up Yeah, that sounds like a nightmare, but over 4th of July break our co-worker Francis made a video He's like I bought this ice maker. makes like clear cubed ice and I was I was Blasted I remember ordering it, but I like you know click the link order one for myself. I came home It's like Francis. What is this and he's like it was like 400 bucks. It was like it'll change your life

Like this is ice gonna change my life. He was like, oh, I think Francis posted a video about this. I was like, Francis, what is this? Like, is this ice gonna change my life?

He's like, yeah, it's great for old-fashions. It's like the, you know, the ice, the big ice cubes that you'd buy at a cocktail bar. Okay, super clear. And I now am owner of one of those. And you don't use it? I have used it. It takes eight hours to make a single, it takes eight hours to make four cubes. Four cubes, eight hours? You can just get an ice tray with four cubes in it put that in the freezer That's cloudy cubes though. That's

Point got you there and guy like you that needs your cubes clear, right? That's just not gonna cut Yeah, so that I've just been I I've been thought about returning it But it's like what am I am I gonna return something probably not am I ever gonna use this? Doubtful mm-hmm. I have just been making ice like every day and just putting them in my freezer So I have big cubes, but really I thought it was like oh, this will be cool to have it's not Can I put you on a different ice maker? I might have to become an old-fashioned guy. No, no, I'd know No, but hey, I have an ice maker. I have No, hear him out. Hear me out it you have a four cube eight hour maker

I used to sell ice makers by the way, so of course you did yeah Hank I've got an ice maker that will change your life this thing. It's like the sonic ice and it's on your countertop It's soft. It's chewy. It makes it really really fast It makes probably like six or seven glasses at a time is it cloudy no It's okay It's clear But it's the tiny soft little pebble ice the nugget ice and you can get that on your countertop for the little price of about 300 bucks I got one ahead of Thanksgiving this year had some people over it was the biggest hit

I can't go into four figures on ice. I think you haven't seen financially I just your refrigerator not make ice. Oh, no it does Oh, I was just saying like what are we talking about?

Okay, so you're be drunk Good fire fast great fire fast. I asked can you Can you please make a video of you making the ice? I'd like to see him. You want a time lapse? Yeah. 8 hour time lapse? Can you put a GoPro inside as it freezes? Yeah. Well, yeah. I've had some failed missions. I'm like 2 for 4 on successfully making it.

Because it makes it over the course of 8 hours. But if you don't take it out in a certain amount of time, it melts. And so you have to time it up perfect. How many old-fashioned is Francis drink? I guess a lot I I'm literally I have literally never I've drank in old-fashioned maybe with you like you've ordered one I'm like, I'll get one of those two. I have never made one I don't even know what how to make one and I don't want to make one I don't even like old-fashioned wait Why don't you just set up the ice maker before you go to bed and then when you wake up?

That's what I've been doing. But the the timing sometimes I oh ten hours sleeping. No or it's less, but yeah, okay This sounds like a job for the cream team Give ice it gives act the I also do but I have like eight cubes in my freezer. I'm good I'm cubed up so you you freeze the cubes so cute Then you move them to your freezer and then they stay in the freezer. Yep. Do they get cloudy in the freezer? Nope.

They stay clear. Yeah. All right. That's a good purchase. Nope. OK. My Fire Fest of the Week is spider-related. Hank, you might be interested in this,

or you might have some advice for me. I was down in my basement the other day, and I was taking a big shit and as I'm taking the shit I see a giant spider that's walking across the floor and I'm in the position where I'm physically shitting. There is shitting happening at this point so I can't get up. I'm just looking at the spider as it's crawling across the floor. It was big, it was brown, it looked mean. I took a picture of it and it just keeps walking

and all I wanna do is get up, grab it with some toilet paper and then flush it because this thing is fucked up. But I'm shitting so I'm at the point where I actually can't get up and do that. By the time I finally end taking the this shit the spider has disappeared behind my sink It's nowhere to be found so I took a picture of the spider There are websites that you can go on to where you can upload pictures of a spider that you took and it'll identify

What kind of spider it was okay? It's a brown recluse. Oh, I had a brown recluse in my bathroom I had every opportunity to kill it and flush it. It's gone. And it's somewhere now. It went away. What do I do? Spider expert?

Yeah, I mean, I got some ammo, like firepower, if you want to keep it strapped in your bathroom. I have, shout out to my daddy, got it for me. It's like a big spider repellent spray gun. Yeah? That, you know I whenever there's a sign of a spider I just go out and just just fire away is it spray or is it spray okay and it's strong spray kills them on contact well my problem isn't

that I'm afraid of killing the spider I'll kill this is like it's preemptive like you see I spray every corner like I'm on the other house no no outside outside yeah it's been it's been a two-year battle but I think I'm I'm on the other house. No, no outside outside. Yeah, it's been it's been a two-year battle But I think I'm I'm ready the outdoors with spider repellent. I swear like we better stay inside You just carpet bombing your balcony. Yes. Okay, my problem though is they're outside on the other side But it's like if they want to come towards my balcony They're gonna be like, nope, so I went looking for the spider after I finished taking the shit in the bathroom I looked everywhere. I I opened up the medicine cabinet. I looked under the sink I saw that there are pipes that aren't necessarily like fully fitted to the wall

So there's a small gap that a spider could easily go into I think the spider might have just gotten gotten out of town I think it just might be like living in my walls right now. Shit waiting to come out. Yeah, that's scary scary You move you have to move. I think I have to burn the house down Yeah, it's gonna be like the sous-vide. Oh, yeah, you got a oh my god. Yeah, it was it was not not a But why didn't you act the spider because the spider had me hostage I had poop that was literally coming out of my butt at that, but you know big cat your poop You could use your legs. I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm a hand in the trash bag Yeah, but you know like when you're taking when the poop is happening. Yeah, yeah

What am I gonna do walk across the room and just drag a trail with me if you had known as Brown recluse? Yes, you've done that I would have pooped on the spot so now you know if I now can't get loose But yeah for when you sleep if anybody every single night and Blake Blake would probably fuck the spider Lake would fuck that spider up. up. He'd eat it. He's a good boy. Yeah. What happens if you get bit by a brown... Oh, it's not fatal. Cause significant localized tissue damage and require medical attention.

I can't have that. I've been bitten by a brown recluse before. Oh, so you're fine. Yeah. Maybe I'm immune like Spider-Man. Yeah, you're a survivor. Okay. My fire fest. Lifespan one to two years. Yeah, you're a survivor Okay My fire fest lifespan one to two years. Yes. So maybe who knows wait him up

Yeah, he's two years old. It could die. It's at least gonna be gone in one to two years. Yeah, that's true That's a great point. If it was a baby, you got two years still a live person of the year the brown recluse spider that was in my house Alright, my fire fest is pretty simple. My body is broken. I'm too old for some of this shit. I did tweet that I was thinking about retirement, not retirement from this show, but retirement from our physical challenges. We did six hour stream on Tuesday night.

How many swings did we take? 200-ish? 200 plus. And then the boys played softball on Wednesday, rallied for a big win, but oh my God, I can't walk right now. So I'm done. It was a lot of twisting. It's just the-

How are the hands? Hands hurt so bad. How's the back? Back hurts so bad. How's the legs? Got a weird thing. I made an error in the first inning in our softball game and I felt a little like twinge in my knee Mm-hmm, and then thankfully I don't move fast. So I don't think I re-injured it, but I don't know what's going on there

Yeah, my body's broken. I don't know what to do. I think I need to retire from sports We gotta just be a walking guy. We got to get one of those Cryo chambers dude I gotta do so I gotta start stretching because I did the same thing I did every single time when it was softball engine I just got in my car went home got out of my car in my garage and then minute drive Could barely stand that's the thing you never stretch after physical activity Yeah, proud of the boys though big win in softball

We've rallied because it was it was it was looking bad because we I couldn't hold a bat Holding a bat hurts right now Yeah, we I had to be I wore one batting glove because I just I couldn't do it I do have blisters on my hands wrong. That's a sick look though. It was bad look for soft It was kind of like Michael Jackson kind of sick look. Ah Zach. Do you want to finish off you got a fire fest? very quick virus my fire fuzz is Showing up extremely late today and getting a text message from big cat 930 saying are you coming in today?
