Talked to him about everything, talked to him about the paparazzi just not leaving him alone, whether it's true if he won in kickball when he played a huge game that made headline news on Just Jared. Blake vs TMZ.

Today is Monday, June 8th and the Tennessee Volunteers are national champions. Felt like 98. Woo. Good job.

Now, full disclosure, we're taping this three hours before kickoff. I am so scared, so, so scared, but I also feel confident that I'm going to win. I'm going to win. Is this, are you going to put your statement in right now? I'm going to win this game. Right in blood. And we're going to put in, should we do it right now, Hank, where whatever happens, we're going to put in the last 30 seconds of the game into this moment.

So it's, how about you tell us how it feels to be a champion first? Okay. Well, no, first thing's first question from the press. Yeah. Are you going to return to Tennessee next year? I am the head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers and the coaching carousel is going to be tonight, Monday night. I, as of right now, I'm the head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers.

Oh, we got it. We need to order a Papa John's pizza and take a picture of you eating a sad Papa John's like Urban Meyer, just in case you lose, sorry, PFT, but it's actually cheat day was yesterday. So that's somebody, I'm sure there are plenty of pictures of big eating that you can photoshop them into. I am the head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers. We're going to find out if I still will be the head coach of the volunteers on Monday night.

But Hank, yes, it feels great, five years coaching. It feels great to finally win the big one. That's it. I mean, it was a fucking great game. I dominated from, from, from the start. Listen, Virginia Tech really put myself in a bad spot. I'm rooting for you against Virginia Tech. I hate though.

I've got a long personal grudge against Virginia Tech. All right, so we're going to put in, let's put in the clip right here. This is me right after the game, win or lose, but we all know I won. You won, right? Guess what, Hokies? You can't bring your keys with you to Pasadena and jingle them around on third down. You probably, it would actually be unsafe if they didn't bring their keys. Does the fact that it's a rose, do you bring your keys with you when you drive?

They're not driving across the country. Are they? No, but I mean your house keys. You think you bring your keys with you out to a game when you're on vacation as the vacation expert. What are we talking about right now? But do you take your house keys with you to a game that you're going to if you're in another state?

You say vacation expert, like it's a bad thing. I'll gladly retain that title. And yes, duh. Yeah. Where do you just throw like dig a hole and bury your keys and then head out for a week? No, I typically like. You're staying from the hotel? No, I keep my house keys in like a suitcase or in a backpack when I'm on vacation.

I'm just used to carrying my keys around. It's a weird move to go out like to a restaurant in a different city or different state and bring your house keys from 10 hours away. I don't know if you have your keys on the bottom line is Virginia Tech. Sock and their traditions are stupid and I won and I won. Congratulations. Here it is. Here is the postgame press conference right after it happened right now.

Fucking a man. I'm pressing this games over. I can't believe this. No one's there. No one's there. Biggest game in my life and I fucking throw an egg. People were calling for my job. I'm playing week one tomorrow.

I don't know with who the week one is tomorrow night. It's a minor setback for a major comeback. OK. OK, I won. Great. Congratulations. Oh, big deal. If I lose, that's going to be so bad.

All right, let's get to the next issue. PFT is a dummy. I fucked up. You're a fucking shit for. Listen, I listen. My brains are very bad. I've never pretended to be good explain it though, because I actually don't think that your brains that bad because it took me a really long time to figure it out.

I've never pretended to be good at math or mental math or anything like that. I took algebra two three times. I think I got a D plus in it my third time. It's not how my brain. We we we as a podcast, we've said it and this is counting Hank, Liam, myself, PFT. We the four of us. I guess Billy, too. Although Billy's sneaky.

Like, oh, I took all those. Billy is good. We have never ever been even in the same room as calculus calculus never been in the same room with us, not a textbook, not a formula. I've never even seen it. We recognize one class and I walked out. Yeah. We've never been.

Yeah. We're not a math. Billy don't ruin it. Stats are losers. I got a four on a peak out. I know. You are that. Billy knows Billy knows how to enter equations into a calculator.

Good job. All right. So what happened? So what happened was Peloton was putting together a right. It's not an A. After we interviewed TI 89, Texas Instruments. After we interviewed Booger McFarland on Friday's part of my take, Peloton put together a ride and there was another company called Axios, I believe, who said for everybody that signs up for this ride that it already taken place.

But they're like, if you replay this ride at 11 a.m. on Saturday, we will pay $100 to the NAACP for every person that's there. I posted because we always do Saturday ride. I said, let's do this and it's going to raise a bunch of money for charity. And then just like on a whim, I did the calculations and I was like, well, like, you know, on a typical Saturday ride, we get anywhere between two and 400 people there on a live ride. That's easy to find. This is harder to find.

You have to go back through the archives and find it and track it down. So yeah, you know what? I think that will probably max out two to 400 people there, whatever. No big deal. I'll match the $100 per rider of anyone that's wearing the buns of anarchy hashtag on the leaderboard. In my head, I thought that meant I was going to owe anywhere between two and $4,000, which is I feel like a good amount of money, right?

Yeah. Times 10. Now, do you think that the extra $90 to bridge from 10 to 100, was that your white guilt? Yes, probably. Okay. I don't care what it was that got me. There's probably a lot of white guilt. Yeah.

I'm just kidding. I followed up. People are going to be like, thanks for finally speaking up again. I followed up on this, right? And somebody was like, to be clear, if I have that hashtag in my leaderboard tag, $200 total is going to the NAACP, $100 from Axios, $100 from me. And I was like, yeah, $100 is from Axios. They're the company that set it up.

So if there's 250 people on the leaderboard, on the buns of anarchy leaderboard, I'll personally give $2,500. And then somebody replied, I think that math would be $25,000. And I said, oh, shit, fuck, fuck, shit, okay. I said what I said. No bomba. I can't take it back at that point. Yeah, I could call.

Let's get it. Listen, when you texted it to us on Friday night, I might have, I might have had just had an edible, but it did actually take me like 20 minutes to fully comprehend your mistakes. So I don't think it was that, you don't beat yourself up. I would easily make that same mistake where I was like, what is, why? I had this moment. I was like, PFT is freaking out for no reason. Dude, 250 people, that's literally two grand.

I'd rather be off by a factor of 10 than be off by like a factor of three that just shows I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to math. At least I just forgot to move the decimal point one place. That's all I do. So you are, you are Michael Scott. It is Scott's top. It is my Scott's top moment. You have, you have, I was guaranteed, what's the total?

I was watching, I was watching the leaderboard on Saturday morning and I was like, fuck, I hope that nobody finds this class, although it goes to a good cause. I'm still like thinking like I've committed myself like way, way too far into this that I can't afford. And the numbers just kept going up. I think people were just, people that don't even know me, were adding hashtag buns of anarchy into their profile so that I would have to pay $100 per person, which is fine. I'm happy to do it.

And at 1105, it was $44,500. Okay. So, so I, I owe a lot of money that I don't have, but here's the goodness. I'm going to pay it. Well, here's the goodness. Here's the goodness. We have brought in one of the greatest minds of our time, Billy football, who has made a list for you of things you can do to pay this off.

Okay. Now I think, have you thought about just paying it and just being a man? Well, I'm going to pay a lot of it for sure. Okay. I'm going to pay, I'm going to pay way, way more out of my own pocket than I ever thought that I would. Next question. But the fact is I'm not, I'm not rich.

I don't have that money. So like I could write a check and it would bounce. Next question. I think that, um, have you thought about the idea that having some low hanging fruit that everyone can always like pin you to is actually not a bad thing? Cause then they won't, like no one will be like, fuck PFT. I think he's an asshole. They'll be like, fuck PFT.

He just didn't give the money. He said he was going to give to charity. You basically give them a lamp. Right. So that is, that is a shield. It's a good point. And it's a shield, but I actually think that it's probably the worst shield that I could have.

Well, but it's still a shield. Let's just say Billy leaks another dick pick of me. Hypothetically. No, you're still the charity guy. Yeah. But if that happens, then I'm still the charity guy, but the shield is that's PFT. You fuck him. He said that he would give $50,000 to fight racism and didn't.

I don't know, dude. The shield is pretty good though, because it just gives people a go. It's kind of, you know what's been our greatest shield is barcel van talk. Everyone always goes right to it and they're like, get your fucking show canceled after one episode. I'm like, I don't care. Yeah, please. Yeah.

So you kind of just reupping and they're like, dude, you fucking cheated out a charity. Yeah. That's it's a pretty bad one to be like the person who defrauded the double ACP in the middle of the Black Lives Matter. Still a shield. Still a shield. So my other idea was, was, and we'll get to Billy's, but I do, I know you don't want to do this, but I think having a Bobby Bonilla day where every day on June 5th, because you

don't want to cock D day. June 5th is PFT fucked up the math and owes more money than he could pay right away charity day. And you just pay in like $1,000 installments for the next 45 years. I don't mind that. I want to make it a big deal. I don't mind that idea because it does give me what I crave the most, which is recognition and attention to every single year.

So I don't mind that. Yeah. It's a personal holiday for your charity. I do have a problem with like making sure that I'm still remembering to write a thousand dollar check when I'm what, 75, 80 years old. What if you did it, what if you did it quicker than that? What if we did $4,000 a year for the next eight years? That's really fast math.

Is that right? Yeah. Right? No. Five years. Nine. Nine. We're not math guys.

I'm not math guys for sure. I'm on cash out. I'm on cash out. Oh, okay. Good. Also, when you told me that I thought about it and I was like, that's pretty awesome. I'll only have to be paying $1,000 a year for the next, I think I thought to myself like the next four and a half years.

So I did the exact same math wrong in my, in my own head again. I like doing the idea of like having your own holiday of charity. It's not a bad idea. I had a couple ideas. My first was just like go back to the well and sell shirts that just say racism with a clown nose on it, just clown nose, just clowning on racism. Yeah. Or you could go extra Michael Scott and like the like PFT's Peloton charity drive to end

racism that he couldn't pay, like make it a really long title and then have people buy that shirt. Or the epic, epic racism handshake one, the Drew Brees picture, but I'll actually use the one, the actual meme that's Carl Weathers and Arnold dapping each other up at Predator. And then I'll just sell that t-shirt and then all the proceeds will go to the NAACP. Okay. Nice. We could sell Sheesh wine.

Yeah. I've actually got inspired from watching Sour Grapes last week because it dawned on me. The guy thinking in trouble because he counterfeited wine, he got in trouble because he counterfeited labels. Right. So I could just like take existing wine, slap my label on there that says Sheesh and then sell that. It's above board.

Everybody was like, I understand that he did not make this wine. Repurposing wine. Repurposing wine. Hank, you saw Sour Grapes, right? No. Okay. All right. So should we let Billy's scary mind loose here?

Yeah. Billy hit me. Okay. Okay. So actually before you made this mistake, I saw this really cool truck. I was trying to make money for it, so I actually had some ideas already on it. Wait, what? Yeah.

No, there's a sick truck. Anyway. He wants to buy a Humphrey. Okay. So we could do a private Zoom show, $1,000 a pop, and you take your glasses off so everyone can see. He's a cam girl? Yeah.

Or we just... I can say that. I propose the only fans already. Yeah. How are you going to stop people from repurposing those images? Yeah. That sounds like a terrible idea. Well, that's why I went to a private Zoom show for the unveiling.

Right. But you can just support it for the unveiling. So you know Zoom call works, so you can only let certain people in, and then you pay $1,000. And they can screenshot it, and report it. But it doesn't matter because we made the money. Well, no, Billy. You're misunderstanding the whole point. Then it becomes less exclusive to begin with.

But you're in debt. You're in debt. Technically, yes. I am in debt. If I wanted to go into that show, I'd say, I'll just wait for someone to pirate it and send the picture out. Yeah. Or somebody will put a periscope of it.

No. I mean, we just talked to Dana White on Friday. We don't have the same idea. We won't do it until we get $40,000. You don't have the cybersecurity to pull that off. Okay. So we were in debt, and we sell each lock for $1. So, wait, Billy, your answer to me defrauding and anti-racism organization has turned me

into a skinhead. Okay. Next idea. No, but there's not 100,000 hairs on a head, so we can actually make more money. Okay. Per hair. For your home fee. Okay.

The extra money. So, sign a porn deal for like, for like browsers or something. You just want to watch me fuck? Well, people will pay for this. We're looking for it. Do you have any non-bottle-y fluid that I have used? Any good ideas? Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. So, okay, we're going to skip the donating organs. Because you can get a, because you really need your kidney. Yeah. How much for a kidney? You can get like a lot of, like a million dollars for a kidney.

It's way more than what you need. There's a million dollars for a kidney. You get like 100,000. Who told you that? I don't know. I just know kidneys are very expensive. Okay. Where?

I lost my kidney when I was seven because I didn't have any money and they said, oh, bet your kidney. I was like, okay. Did you like put up posters on telephone poles and being like, hey, if you've seen my kidney. I don't fucking, uh, some cookies and a glass of milk. But your liver, you can sell parts of your liver because it grows back. Remember Hercules?

Nobody wants my liver. Okay. I'm going to cut that one off. Okay. Um, okay. Here's another one. We do yard work in gold brick. So like we contact someone.

So remember Kyle Long was like, whenever you guys come over, I got some yard work to do for you. Okay. So we go to Kyle Long's house. We're like, okay, we're going to do some yard work for you. Put something in with cement. We sleep next to the cement while it dries. We're watching it dry.

It's called gold bricking. It worked all the time over the summer for constructions and then we just overcharge them for all those hours. We're sleeping because it's technically working. You're talking about the Sopranos. This is the Sopranos. The no-show job. The no-show job.

Yeah. Right in. Yeah. Right in a couple no-show jobs for my guys. I'm actually into that one. Yeah. Okay. Um.

Wait, how many people do you know that we can do this to? Like how many rich people do you personally know? That's your job. Well, I can't come up with all the answers here. Who do I know? I know a concrete guy. Okay. All right.

We, so there's a certain person who's throwing a lot of money around in stocks. We buy a bunch of a very cheap stock and then we tell him it's a really awesome stock. He buys a stock and then we sell all the stock really quickly while it's higher. Okay. Pump and dump. Got it. SCC violation. Yeah.

Okay. And then we sell memorabilia. That works. Okay. What kind? Like fake gaming. I have. Slamming style?

There's a very well-running van. Yes. That. Oh, we could sell Vanny Woodhead. Sell Vanny Woodhead. Are we allowed to save Vanny Woodhead? Yes. Okay.

So Vanny Woodhead. Yes, Vanny Woodhead. Yes, Vanny Woodhead. Vanny Woodhead. Well, it's been sitting. Dambelzerian owns that. I've been sitting in. Yeah.

Yonkers. Yeah. It's been sitting. Don't say where it is. They're going to rob it. Yonkers is pretty good. Yonkers has been bonkers. Okay.

They've been bonkers how long it's been sitting somewhere. It's yeah. It's been on a construction site for like ages and we could totally sell it. Yeah. Let's sell it. Do you want to sell Vanny Woodhead? Yeah. I just don't know where the fucking deed is.

I've been looking for the deed because I'm trying to sell it myself. You can sell a titleist's car. Okay. So then if you can sell it, I will. I will give you a commission. I will. Yes. Yes.

We will give you 5 percent. How does that sound? So if I sell it. I don't know if you should be handling numbers. I have no idea what that means. I own it. So I'll give you. Wait, wait.

You own the title, but I paid for half of it. Okay. I've been paying for the fucking. I've been paying for the couple hundred. Yeah. So then you guys own me money because I've been paying me insurance for five years. No, no. You owe me money for the parking fees.

Parking. Yeah. All right. That would be a best standoff of money-earning. All right. I've been paying a thousand, $2,000 in insurance every year. So a couple. Well, it's $40 a day to park in New York City.

Okay. A couple other things. It's not in New York City. It's in bonkers. Well, it's... Okay. All right. We should sell Vanny Woodhead.

No way it runs. No. No, it does run. It does run. Well, you left me with the van. What am I supposed to do? Have you been driving around? No.

There would be pictures of it. I don't know. It's not... Billy. Billy's been driving and around. Billy's been driving and around. You motherfucker. No.

What am I supposed to do with it? All right. Okay. All right. So we'll sell... So that's actually a good idea. So there it is. So we have...

That will at least get us somewhere close. I have another idea. All right. Yeah. Keep going. You sell your... See, you do a studying. Like, you know what dogs?

Yeah. A stud fee. So you give a stud fee. For Leroy? No, no, for you. No, for yourself. Oh, so my sperm? Yeah.

But like, like, stud fee. So I just... So you... But then he's got kids. Yeah, but you sign it. Sign it away. Wait, so I'm like a Vince Vaughan movie. I just go by my sperm is what you're saying.

No, you... It's too procreate. But like, you do it yourself. Will you be handling the sperm? No, no, no. So I just... What do I do? Just jack off into like a cup?

No, you actually meet the person. How dog breeding works? Will you stud fee? A stud fee for a good... I actually don't know how dog breeding works. No, it actually is, yeah. But you didn't go to an Ivy League school. I didn't.

And I'm below 5, 10 and a half. But you all want that. I think they all want that. That's true. All right, so I'm going to say no to sperm. Okay, okay. I can't imagine a bunch of like anonymous little PFTs running around. We should do an auction, like the wine auction thing.

Can I be the auction guy? Sure. Okay. All right, I actually think the Vanity Woodhead will help us get closer. All right. And then I have one other idea that actually is a real idea. We should have cash up always gives away $10 if you put in code bar. So this is not an ad.

I just thought of this. What I'm sure people would send you the free $10 to charity. To cash up? Yeah. Sign up and send you $10. Okay. So here's a point that I've reached with myself is I need to pay more money than is comfortable for me personally to pay because I fucked up and I need to own that to a certain extent,

right? So I thought it was going to be somewhere around, you know, $4,000 tops, which I feel like it's still a good amount of money for like some jackass that does nothing but talk about sports and just like contribute right off the bat. I need to pay, I need to pay more than anybody else. Now I've, I've heard from a few people, Booger reached out to me yesterday after finding out what I did. He wants to contribute.

Spencer wants to contribute. A little might liner. So Matt, I could cold call these guys right now and say, what can I put you down for? That feels very intrusive, but. Well, they already told me that they'd pay. No, I know, but like to be like, hey, well, the people who said they were going to pay, they'll pay. Spencer said that he would pay up to $10,000.

So in Booger, Booger said that he'd contribute 10 grand to. So then I think we feel like I have to pay 11,000. I have to pay. That's fair. So then we go Vanny Woodhead for probably about five down for a hundred. Yeah. I'll put in a thousand, put Vanny Woodhead for five. And then the, that leaves us about five or six.

I bet you people will. If we do cash app, people want to help out. I offer labor. I tell you what. Labor. I tell you what. So that would be 11,000, 12,000 counting big cats, 12,100 counting. Huge Hank.

Counting Booger. It would be 22,000 counting. 100. It would be 32,100. And God damn it. Hank, Hank, I'm going to add your. I'm going to add your hundred later, Hank, to make this easier. So that means that we have approximately 13,000 left to make up.

And we have Vanny Woodhead. And we have Vanny Woodhead. And we have. I tell you what. The shirts you might sell. I don't want the AWLs to be on the hook for my bad math. They're not. If they want to contribute, that's awesome.

And I think that we should set something up for them to contribute to. And if, if it's in your hearts to do so, I would encourage that. It's not going to us. It's going. It's going directly to the NAACP. I'll, I'll take care of the difference between what I've already committed and what Vanny Woodhead does not make us. Yeah.

So also they should probably knowing how all this charity stuff works. People get sensitive about this, like where, how, how it goes through. They should actually, if they want to screenshot their donation to NAACP, so they can, they can claim it on their taxes instead of sending it to you, then you send it. Yeah. There's some other stuff too with that particular organization where parts of it aren't tax-deductible and parts are. Either way.

Either way. And then if you tweet PFT a screenshot, we'll tap, we'll start tallying that. Yeah. How about this? Use the hashtag in NAACPFT. There you go. And then we'll use that and we'll keep track of it that way. So just directly donate to, to NAACP.

Cause that's how I'm going to do it. I'm going to put it out. I'm going to send a thousand dollars and NAACP. Okay. I will put that down. All right. Should I call just to confirm? Who do you want to call?

Call Spencer real quick. Sure. I just want to confirm. Do you think we'll make more money if we chop it up Vanny and like sell the carburetor for so much? That sounds like a lot of work. Well, I don't chop shop. Well, Billy knows he's getting a commission.

So. Yeah. I'm going to sell memorabilia of Vanny. So you're saying Billy that the parts of the van are more valuable than the nostalgia of someone that likes to show wanting to get this piece of shit van. Well, you're saying that people want the parts from this piece. No, I think about this. If I split it up into 200 pieces, Spencer.

Yes. Hey, we're talking through all the ways that we have to raise $45,000. I'm going to contribute at least 11. And then we're going to sell Vanny Woodhead. And then whatever doesn't come from that donation and Vanny and whatever you wanted to kick in or whatever Booger wanted to kick in, I'm going to cover the rest of that. So can I can I put you down for 10, Spencer? Yes.

Whoa. Okay. What's up, Spencer? Thank you, Spencer. What's going on, man? I didn't know you. I didn't know Vanny was still alive. That's good news.

Yeah, we're going to. I do you think we would get more money out of chopping Vanny up and selling it for part to like people can buy a piece of it or do you think just selling it whole? I can't imagine it's worth much whole. So I think the memorabilia around maybe the direction. Yeah, I think so too. And it also would give us something for Billy to do so he doesn't do anything stupid. Yeah, he's getting off on some tangents.

It's time to get him refocused. Although by doing something stupid, what we're kind of proposing here is like hand Billy a bunch of high powered tools. No, that's okay. No, he knows the chop shop. Oh, no, dude, he knows the chop shop. All right. He knows the chop shop, Spencer.

Thank you very much. We'll be in touch about how this whole thing is coming together. But you you're the best. You're the best. You've taken a load off. I think this is something productive that we can all come together and donate to. How about let's just say that we'll donate it. You want to donate to the scholarship fund?

Let's do that. All right. The NAACP scholarship fund done is where this money is perfect. All right. Happy to be a part of it. All right. Thank you, Spencer. Thanks, man.

All right, boys. All right. See you. See you. Okay. So I think we got this. Can I hope I just want to hit a bug or two and just confirm with him. Billy, are you I think chopping it up and then we have to sell because then if you like

sell a wheel for so much sell another wheel is going to be more than the whole thing. But I think you got to chop even smaller. You have to figure out how to ship all this stuff out. So all the chop shops. So if you steal a car in New York City, you go to Yonkers, the chop shops. Bonkers. Yeah. Yeah.

Bonkers. We're not saying the name or if in Manhattan, but you realize how we're going to distribute your distribution. Oh, distribution. Just mail it. You will. Yeah. A labor.

Yeah. You are. You're going to get money off of this. I know you're going to get this truck. I'm going to get this Humvee. Okay. All right. So there we go.

We've had Billy. I actually like this because PFT. We now have Billy focused on some. It should be a pro bono deal for Billy. I know. No. At the end, once all the parts are mailed out, then we'll give you a lump sum of whatever you've earned.

Correct. Correct. It's not going to be like you sell a part for a hundred and then be like, give me $10. Right. And then, no, yeah, yeah, then I'll donate some of it myself. It all has to be sent out. And you also still have to find the deed because I think you have to like say that. No, these guys don't need a deed.

No, dude. I'm saying I do so that I don't get my license. I need the license plate at least. Okay. You got to go to the DMV for me and make sure. Top dollar for the license plate. Well, if you go to the DMV and get it officially off of my insurance, then that's fine. Okay.

You can sell the license plates for yourself. I'm just, I also need a camera on Billy when he's walking into this chop shop and he's like, hey, would you like to chop up this car for me? That's not cool. Okay. All right. No cameras. All right.

Let's let's get to, I think we got a good solution though. So if you're going to donate NWAC PFT is the hashtag to the scholarship fund. We'll add up that and we'll get to this money. We'll probably raise more money. Yeah. So to be clear, I'm not counting the money from the AWLs towards the money that I owe. Correct. I'm going to figure out how to-

It's towards the total. Towards the total that we're all raising together. Anything we make off of Vanny Woodhead minus Billy's commission, we will donate regardless. We're not going to pocket money off of Vanny Woodhead. No, no. And if you want to buy a shirt, I think we should do that epic handshake ending racism shirt, right? Yeah.

Boom. Yeah. Because we can't count on Billy. He can then we'll get to Blake Griffin in the seemingly never ending lockdown of the world is going through.

Hank, you're back. I am back, my who's back of the week is Looney Tunes.

Thanks for wearing Tennessee Orange today. I got you. And you too, Hank. What's your name? It's Harley Williams. It's Harley. It'd be real shame. Yeah, check your pantones, big cat.

That's actually. Is it Billy looking fat? That's closer to Virginia Tech Orange. I'm cutting the Red Bull and we eject. Okay. We sick. Okay. All right.

Hank, Looney Tunes. Who's back? But there's one, one little distinction. They're not letting Elmer Fudd, they're not showing any guns, any gun depictions, any weapons. They're just taking them out. What? So they're coming out with a new like series or season or whatever of Looney

Tunes. They're just not going to apparently have like weapons. What about Wiley Coyote? What's he going to do? Like just set up humane traps for the road runner? Is he going to get on some fucking rockets? So we're not, we're not doing guns, but we can do cartoony violence, TNT, the ACME stuff.

What about, what about all that was grandfathered in? I mean, what about Elmer Fudd having a lisp? Isn't that offensive? Probably. What about Pepe La Pew just literally raping everyone? That's bad. He is. He's, Pepe La Pew is a rapist.

I don't, I don't know the answers to that. I'm sure we're going to find out in the upcoming months. My other who's back of the week is Vegas videos. I guess there's a couple of things, Las Vegas is back in multiple ways. There was the video that was tweeted out from on like this weekend of the casinos being reopened and there's being a million people out and about. No one's wearing masks. No one's practicing social distancing.

So people are freaking out about that. And then there was, you know, today, Sunday was the anniversary of the capitals winning the Stanley Cup two years ago. And I was reminded, remembered the PFT allegedly having to wear those pants to the party. Why do you keep saying allegedly? I know you tweeted that out too. You said allegedly. I, well, so this is what happened.

It was not alleged at first. First I was just like, Oh, good times, good memories, hilarious story that PFT had to go wear pants. We did, it's a real shame, like it's a travesty that this, this picture never surfaced. And then almost like a bot, this person read like a bot. He really put really alerted me to something fishy that might be going on. He sent a picture, a selfie of him in PFT, the picture conveniently cuts off right above the waist.

And he said, I was there too celebrating the cup cup with my uncle. He needed pants to get in the club. He went to the same gift shop apparently right after the lady was like, Nope, just sold the last pair of pants we have. They were huge though. So they wouldn't have fit. Yeah. That sounds like someone that was like, you know, trying to push the narrative that you

were wearing. It is a crazy coincidence that this person's uncle dealt with the same thing I did and he couldn't buy the pants, the very pants I had just purchased. And the fact that the lady at the counter, this is like those tweets when the, when the people are like, my, my two year old daughter just asked me like, what's, why is there so much racism in the world and stuff like that? The fact that the lady at the counter said, Nope, just sold the last pair of pants we have.

They were huge though. So they wouldn't have fit. Yeah. This guy just walked into a hipster coffee shop and they were all talking about how big PFT's pants were. Interesting. Listen. It happened.

It happened. That's the fact. In fact, Hank, you were alerted to the pants before I even made a big deal out of him from your friend who doesn't even know me, who saw me at the party and was like PFT's pants were preposterous. So you told, you told the guy when you saw him, he's like, Oh, I'm friends with Hank. You're like, can you do me a solid and Tex Hank right now saying PFT's pants are preposterous. I have to admit, this would be incredible if I had made up the pants story.

If that's like the route that I chose to go. Well, I'm hoping. I mean, like the Larry David, remember that story about like they, they solved the murder case because they went through footage of Larry David and they found out that the guy was at a Dodgers game. I'm hoping and someone tweeted that like somewhere there's a bachelor party where there's like 10 pictures of PFT in the background, these pants. I want to bring attention to this, you know, bring light to this subject and hope that

somewhere. Hope on America's most wanted. Yeah. Like someone can surf as a video. If you were in the Las Vegas area, the week of June 6th, 2017, 2018, there are more cameras in Vegas than anywhere else on earth, right? I know. That's what oceans 11 taught me.

I know. There should be some like hotel footage. If you work at, where's Hakasan? That's where the party was. Whatever is at the MGM. I think it's MGM. If you work at the MGM grand, go back to June 7th, right? Yep.

And there should be pictures of me walking through the lobby of the MGM, holding the pants up and breaking them because they're so preposterously big that my finger just snaps a belt loop off. I did text my friend, Matt, who's originally learned me, said, I said, it's a real shame. He just goes, they made George, he said they made jinkos look like high fashion. They were big pants. No one hears. I'm just going through my own head of if there's anything that I could have potentially

been pictured doing that I don't want to be put out there on it. Yeah. That'll be my shield if something like that happens. Yep. Okay. Good. Who's back Hank? Glad to have you back.

Glad to be back. I really missed it in New York last week. There's no way that you're happy to be back. When's your next vacation? The middle of August, actually. Really? I think like the second. Right in the middle of the.

Second week of August. Right in the middle of the NBA playoffs. You're going somewhere in June. You're going somewhere in three weeks. Well, we have a mandated work vacation. Right. But you're going. That's a vacation.

That's not even my choice. Worked forced us to take that week off. Yeah, Billy. That doesn't really count. Billy is scabbing hard. Billy is a very eager scab whenever you listen. If you guys are going to shame me for vacations and label me as the vacation guy, it's something I'm just going to have to embrace.

Okay. You're going to make me take a spiked vacation. Oh, no. Don't threaten me with a good time. Oh, no. Oh, no. Hank's going to be gone. Yeah.

Oh, no. Yeah. Who's going to press record? Exactly. Wally Bibb. Okay. My who's back of the week is Conor McGregor. At least Conor McGregor's retirements are back because he retired again, kind of out

of nowhere. People have been speculating who's he going to fight next. We talked a little bit to Dana White about that, but he tweeted out yesterday that he was officially retiring. He's done. He asked his mom what kind of house she wanted or something along those lines. So Conor McGregor has pulled his semi-annual Brett Favre and he has said, no one was really like asking him either.

No. I remember there's a fight that he feels that he can upstage. He just always likes to say, hey, I'm retiring. Now the news cycle is on me. So we're waiting on Magic Johnson to confirm with just like a congrats Conor McGregor. He had a great MMA career, one of the all time greats tweet. And then at that point it's official, but I'm sure he's not coming back. No way.

In like October. No chance. Or November. Whatever. Khabib's next up to fight him. Yeah. Well, R.F. Khabib loses.

The fight game is also just especially funny because, you know, pro athletes can retire all the time and like think about it again, but it's a fighter retires and then it's literally like they put in front of him, hey, here's a check for $15 million. All you have to do is fight one more time. Mike Tyson's about to fight you. Yeah. Right. Like, okay.

Every single one. They whether still got another fight, I'm sure. Every fighter is retired until they accept their next fight. Yes. Right. Right. He's good to have him back. All right.

My who's back of the week is football coaches, not or college coaches in general, having no idea what goes on in their own program. So Kirk Ferenc's having a, there's a, there's a dude to do at Iowa right now. The, there was accusations made that the strength and conditioning coach has said some racist things in the back. Great on the guys speaking up. Now Kirk Ferenc has done a pretty good job of like listening, it seems like, and being like, we got to get this right, put them on administrative leave.

But he did also do my favorite thing that every coach does when he's like, I don't know. Like, I've never heard anything like that. Yeah. Every coach that has ever coached in college, basketball or football is the biggest control freak you've ever met. They know everything. They know everything. Yeah.

Every, every, everything that goes on on campus, no matter what. Yeah. And I mean, I wouldn't be shocked if you were to tell me that anyone on any coaching staff, like a strength and conditioning coach has crossed the line. Yeah. They're general, they're people that live on the line of a lot of stuff. Now this is obviously different to even like approach the line of racism with your own players when you're working them out.

That's a big problem. I don't know if, if Kirk Ferenc, like how active are college football coaches in terms of people get mad when we say his name wrong too. Ference. Yeah. I don't know. I said it. I say it how I want to say it.

Are they in, you know what Iowa, you wear your shield. There you go. You don't even have to be mad about, about this whole dude to do. You got to, you can now be mad at us for saying the name wrong. They need to take a page out of the Riley Cooper handbook and just send them away to rehabilitation. Yeah. Send them to racism camp where he goes and like does a 12 step program.

He comes back a week later and he's not racist anymore. I just love any coach ever trying to use this defense and he only did it for, he did it very quickly. And I think he moved on. And again, I think he's done a pretty good job of, of, of actually listening to his former players. But fuck man. It's so funny.

Like, like Rick Petino, I just trusted too many people too much. No, you know everything that goes on all the time. That's why you're a coach of a power five program. The strength and conditioning coach did issue a statement where he just said that he never said anything like that. So it's like we've got a blanket denial going up against multiple, it's, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said.

Got it. Always fun. All right. Let's get to our interview with Blake Griffin. Before we do that, PFT, you got a quick ad. Yes. We're going to talk to you guys about our good friends over at Omaha Steaks. I just got my Omaha Steaks delivery.

And now Blake Griffin. Okay, we now welcome on our very good friend. He is the current Blake of the Year, which we should start there. Blake of the Year competition is coming up. I think it's going to be held in the next two or three weeks. Are you getting nervous at all about that? No, you know, after like a lot of reflection and sort of this past year and a lot of time to think, I just feel comfortable with where I am in the world of Blake's and, you know,

that's all I have to say about that. It sounds like you're confident. Yeah. That's not really a Blake move to be confident in their Blake-ness. Yeah. Wait, it's not? I don't think so. I think pretty sure that's one of the, that's one of the sounding pillars of a Blake.

Like being quietly and being Blake. Yeah. Confident all the time, even if things aren't going well. Yeah. Yeah. And especially a time like this, we need confidence and we need, we need, you know, we need leaders who are confident in what their name is. Okay.

Now, I've seen a few things going on social media recently from you, Blake. I want to address. And first of all, let's start with something positive. I read an article earlier today, it's a Blake Griffin spotted outside Joe in the juice with his abs visible through his t-shirt. So is that a Blake move to have such like a big six pack that it can be seen through like basically a sweatshirt? Um, is it a Blake move?

That's a good question. Again, I, I seem to subscribe to the thought that any move I do is a Blake move because I am a Blake and I'm not sure that you guys can quite speak to that because you've never been a Blake. And I know that sounds a little bit defensive, but I don't know. I've worked hard over the past, you know, since my rehab began and I'm, you know, I try to wear tight shirts and like, you know, show it off a little bit. Are you, are you still injured or no?

Are you back? I'm not. I'm, I'm, I guess you could say I'm like cleared, but obviously our season's over. So whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, your season's not over. They have that like loser practice that they're letting everyone go to. Uh, yeah. I mean, we do that in the off season, no matter what, you know, teams get together and have their little mini camps.

So are you, are you not going to go to the loser practice? Are you not going to go to the, I, I saw that. Cause I was looking to see if the bulls may be snuck in and they're like, actually the other eight teams are going to, or nine teams, whatever it is, going to have like a mini camp together and it's going to be the saddest thing ever. I might've added the saddest thing ever part. Um, yeah. That is pretty sad.

I don't know. I don't know. You know, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I got a Blake at your competition and coming up, it's very important. True. We're thinking about changing up the rules this time in the Blake at the year competition. We're not going to tell you how, but we got to, we had to add a new wrinkle to it because frankly, your performance last year put you so head and shoulders above the other blakes

that I'm not sure it'd be fair to keep the rules the same. Hey, I mean, whatever you guys want to do, you know, they, they, uh, they change the rules in the NBA to keep people from dominating. Well, Chamber, Chamberlain from dominating. So, um, you know, I'll adapt. Um, all right. So, uh, next thing that we saw you in the press for, do you want to talk about the kickball game?

You had a kickball game. How'd you do? Oh, did great. Uh, nine to five, uh, I hit two, two home runs, uh, in a grand slam. Um, so, you know, uh, I don't find that competitive outlet anywhere I can. You were quoted here and said, at one point Blake kicked a grand slam and yelled, that's the most exhilarating thing I've ever done. I think it was that's the most exhilarating thing I've done like recently.

Right. You know, like it was just, you know, the monotony of the quarantine and, and you know, not seeing anybody and finally got some people together, played a little kick, kickball and, you know, tried to social distance at the same time, but, you know, it was more of a, it was an outlet, you know, to, to, for people to let out their frustrations and get a little exercise. So we're promoting, you know, a healthy activity. Yeah. How weird is it, uh, to know that someone's there, like taking pictures of you and listening

like the paparazzi, these are all paparazzi so crazy. It's so crazy because we were just like, it was just a random field kind of tucked away. And like there was other people out there. There was like a family and like deep, deep in the outfields. Like one of those ones where it didn't have a fence. So like we saw some people, but like at no point did you ever see anybody. Also, they knew, they knew like who the captains were, like who picked teens. What?

So in my opinion, like we, I have a rat in the group and I got to sniff them out. Whoa, I feel like it's Frankie. I feel like it's Frankie Delgado. I'm reading this article right now. I think so. He's a star on the hills. He is the one guy that, that has the most to gain by having paparazzi show up everywhere. Damn.

Like remember me? I'm Frankie. I'm on TMZ. Yeah. Chandler Parsons, though, too, kind of gains a little bit. That's true. He does. Um, I'm looking at this.

No masks. Uh, it looks like you're within six feet of each other. Would you like to apologize to Mike Florio? First of all, camera angles can be deceiving. True. I know they did, they did see like a chest bump at one point, but we kind of did the back turn chest bump. Okay.

Not to, so it's not to be face to face. Um, we had a, we had a set of rules in place, um, testing before and after. Um, not for COVID, just sort of just a testing. Yup. Um, so, you know, we, we took precautions and we were willing to live with the consequences. So no, I'm not going to apologize. Yeah.

Listen, sports will find a way. Yeah. How weird is it though? Like when you, when you leave and then you see it hit the internet and you're like, what the fuck is going on? Like, do you ever tell the paparazzi like, Hey guys, maybe just give me a second. Like I'm playing kickball here. No, I had no idea they were there.

I had no clue. And then like, I think we woke up the next morning and it was out and we're like sitting around the group chat. Um, I, I did pose the question. Like, do we have a rat in the group? And, um, I'm doing my own internal investigation. You, you know what you need to do? You need to text the group chat and be like, I'm thinking about retiring.

Yeah. But text, text everybody, but Frankie, I'm not retiring. And then send a text to Frankie being like, Hey, I'm thinking about retiring. Right. What do you think about that? Right. And then just see what comes up in the press. Yes.

You got to leak some bad info. Yeah. That's what the Browns did with Condoleezza Rice. You're like the anti-Kawaii. Kawaii, we couldn't get anything out of him. You know, we didn't know until he decided you, you play fucking kickball and, and we know that he hit a grand slam. We need to tighten this up.

Yeah. Listen, that's just the world we live in. I choose to go about things differently. And, um, I don't know. I mean, I've listened to guys. That's all I had to say about the matter. Okay. Well, then let's do the last one.

That's just the most important one. You were pretty upset. Um, and I think you might have, you might have been upset at the wrong person. The headline is Blake Griffin, airballs and brick shot in pickup game with kids. Quarantine rust, question mark. And you quote, treated it and said, alternate headline, grown man hides in bushes to secretly record a dad and his kids at the park. I'm going to, I'm going to side with TMZ here.

I think they got the headline correct the first time you bricked any airballed and you were embarrassed. Was I embarrassed? Sure. Yeah. Sue me. I'm human. I have an ego just like everybody else.

But I will never admit that it's okay to record a dad and his kids at the park playing a game of basketball, which I won by the way. They didn't even include the final score. They didn't put the final score. They didn't put final stats. Every time I got it, the size of those two times I scored. And like literally I would even have to like let him shoot multiple times and like get the rebound and shoot again.

Just so it wasn't like a complete bloodbath at home later. How many blocks did you have? Of course they choose not to write that, huh? How many blocks did you have? I had upwards of 15. Yeah, they didn't, they didn't include any of that. I think that's fair for you to be upset about that. Like if you're going to show the bad stuff, show you posterizing your son.

That's the side of the media that they don't want. They, they don't want, they don't want to show that side of me. Yeah, completely twisted that story and made me look like I was playing bad. I made my son cry. Well, I agree with you, though. A guy hiding in the bushes. That's fucking weird. It's really strange, but I do want to give credit to whoever wrote this story.

They don't tell you who writes it. I assume that it's just like a robot that gets his orders from the guy that's always drinking Starbucks coffee on the show. I don't know who writes the articles, but this is a great sentence right here. Blake airballed one shot so poorly, he had to go sheepishly collect the rebound from a dude on another court. What was that like going like onto the court next to you and saying, excuse me, sir, I'm Blake Griffin.

I just airballed this shot and I have it back. We kind of did like a thing where like I kind of like had to, you know, jog over there to grab it and we kind of like made eye contact. And I did, I did give him just like a cover, like a sheepish like, yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, it's me. It's me. You're right. It is me, Blake Griffin. You do have a rat though. I'm sorry that I just happened.

You definitely have a rat. So we're going to we'll help you figure out who it is. If you if you need our help with anything. Yes, you guys don't want to cover for me. Yeah, absolutely. It's been my dream. We'll take pictures of the paparazzi. Oh, that would be great. And then we'll make our own headlines.

Yes. Yes. I have a real question for you. So NBA is going to be back. We already talked to the Pistons. The Pistons would have been if you if you were played the whole year. We all know that because you were you just dominate and just yam on people. How for the idiot sports fans and I count myself as one of them, how much rust is there and how how long is it going to take for guys to get

all the way back to like prime playing, you know, shape? Because I always just assume like, dude, your professional athlete, you should be fine day one. Yeah, I mean, I think it's kind of depends to be honest. I think like once once like we've known this was probably going to happen for, I would say like, at least I've known for like maybe three weeks or so. So like, I'm sure guys are sort of like ramping back up right now. Then, you know, everybody reports June 21st.

You have training camp for literally like almost six weeks. And, you know, you play some regular season games. Like I feel like once they get to the actual playoffs, like I think guys will be fine. The only thing I'm really worried about is like injuries. You know what I mean? Like guys are going to come back and, you know, some guys are going to have like little nagging things. And like, you know, it's going to kind of suck that, you know,

maybe that that holds the guy or hold the team back. But I mean, you also have to deal with that in the regular, you know, regular season and postseason normally in a normal year. So I think I think it's a really good plan. I think they put it put enough time in to allow guys to, you know, be prepared as possible. But yeah, there will be some rust, but I don't think it will be too bad. Yeah.

Do you think there's going to be way more rust on offense than there will be on team defense? Good question. Thanks. Way more rust on offense than team defense. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I would say yes. OK, I'm asking for over unders, obviously. What about shooting in a small gym with no fans? You think that affects anyone's depth perception? That kind of thing might might actually be better depth perception

because you're in that small. You get the wall right behind. Right. Yeah. How does that affect it? Yeah, it'll be interesting because like, you know, some guys are like game players, you know what I mean? And part of that is like the adrenaline of the crowd, like just like everything that goes into it. These are going to feel like scrimmages. Yeah. It's going to be the guys.

You know what? Carmelo is probably going to be awesome because he loves playing in those gyms. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. I mean, he's a he's a there's got, you know, like the guys who are just like pickup guys, like they're just dominate pickup. And then in the game, they don't like quite play the same way. Yeah. The Lifetime Fitness All-Stars. Right. Those are the guys I'm going to betting on. Do you think that you think the Rockets will have a good run

because James Harden, like he can't go to there's probably like some strip clubs in Orlando there once you hit a few you've seen them all. Yeah. I mean, some guys need that outlet, though. So I'm sure you're better when they have like their vice. There it is. I'm not saying that that is his vice. You guys said that. I'm not saying that. Correct. Correct. But you you implied it. Yeah.

So I don't know. Maybe he needs that vice. Maybe he needs something to, you know, help him play at his at his best level. But I mean, he's a good player no matter what. But yeah, I don't know. I guess we'll find out what if that's truly his his, you know, secret to success.

So Orlando, the whole notion of the league basically taking place in one city. Are you kind of glad that you don't have to spend like a month and a half in Orlando? I mean, obviously, we play to like win a championship. So I'd much rather be able to try for that. But, you know, since we're out, like it makes sense not to bring teams who have no chance of getting into that eight spot. I mean, like Washington, even if I think Washington's five game back, five games back from the eight seed.

Yeah. And they're playing eight regular season games. So like they're going to have to run the table, obviously. And Brooklyn, the state. Well, no, they have seven. They have that weird rule that if you're within four games, they're going to let you play a three game series where the nine seed has to beat the eight seed twice. And eight seed only has to win once.

So that's so they guess they kind of are back in it, sort of, although they still have to do well in such a small period of time. Well, that's the issue. And then it comes down to like scheduling. Like what if what if like their eight of their five of their eight games are like against like, you know, the top teams and they I don't know how they're going to work out scheduling. But, you know, it just kind of like kind of it's kind of weird.

But again, I think they did like the best job they could given the circumstance. If the Clippers win because, you know, they're one of one of the probably presumptive favorites here in the stretch. You think that they will put the championship banner to the left or to the right of your Clippers jersey that's in the rafters? I would I guess I would prefer it to be. I guess I would prefer it to be on the right of mine. So it's like you look up, you see my jersey hanging up there

and you're like, wow. And then you look over and you're like, wow, right. It's almost like that. It's almost like that came next. Yeah. No, I hear you laid the you laid the building blocks for the champ. You're reading it left to right in chronological order. Blake Griffin, he essentially won them a championship. Do you think you'll get a ring?

Yeah, I'll probably I'll probably get one. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to I don't want to speak out of turn. But like, you know, I'm, you know, we're all obviously still very, very close. Yeah. You know, we talk all the time. I'm sure I'll be getting a call or it'd be the classic thing. I don't need like those. Yeah, I don't need the whole ceremony, but like, you know, like. I mean, it'll be it'll be nice to go to the parade if they win.

Yeah. Yeah. Do you think that whichever team does end up winning the championship should have an asterisk? Boy, I mean, I think it's always going to have an asterisk just because of the year. I don't know that it takes away the like it takes anything away from winning a championship, but like just the years is so insane. It's so messed up. Like the lockout year was just it was just shorter,

but everything still felt the same. Like this is just just completely different. So I don't know. I mean, I guess they'll always be sort of an asterisk, but not in terms of like it wasn't it didn't mean it's a championship. You know, I kind of agree with you on that. I think that every sport played this year, regardless of if the season is shortened or not.

Like if it's college football and they start on time, the NFL starts on time. They should have an asterisk, too, just because it's weird. This year is just no fans. Yeah. And it's just like this was a weird. It's bizarre. Yeah. You get the weird championship. Yes. I mean, we play for the fans, you know what I mean? So when they're not there, I know they're watching on TV, but it's just

it brings a different feel, you know? And you know me, I'm a show pony. I like I like a crowd. And I like we always say that. Yeah, see like the show pony. Yeah, like like show pony grip. Yes, that's actually great. It rolls right off the top.

Will you there's been also talk about the season, the next season, maybe they're shifting the dates. Would you be in favor of having an NBA season start later? Like even if we're taking out coronavirus, but if this is becomes a new norm where you guys start in late December and maybe have a little more compacted season, but at least you get that extra month and a half off. And it feels like I always just feel like it should start on Christmas day. That's when the NBA season should.

Yeah, I completely agree. It's just a matter of like, you know, where are we going to make those games up? Like that, you know, I don't see them shortening it to less than like. Under 70 games, you know what I mean? I could just because there's just so much money involved. I don't know that owners are going to like completely go for that. But yes, I do think that we should we should push our start date back just because we're having we're competing against college football

and NFL football is just so big. And then also MLB playoff, right? So, you know, like pushing that date back a little bit. Like, I feel like it's I feel like the casual fan of sports doesn't really care about basketball until. Christmas anyway, right? Yeah, no, there's a diehard NBA fans who care the game one. But it definitely is.

It definitely feels like it's monopolized by football in those first two months. Yeah, 100 percent. Blake, have you still not gotten a call about Space Jam? Still still waiting, fired several agents because they couldn't get an answer back. So still, you know, my my, you know, fingers crossed for reshoots or, you know, even if they need like a promo commercial or something, you know, that's like to be associated.

Yeah, it's messed up that they haven't reached out to you about that. You would be a natural fit as like LeBron's goofy neighbor. Like the Kramer Space Jam. How about LeBron's Alfa? Yeah, yeah. Oh, OK. Yeah. What Blake, I don't think we've talked to you since we haven't talked to you in a while. When the entire Chris Paul falling out in Houston thing happened, were you like?

Duh, told you guys so. Where? Oh, when he left Houston. Yeah. Or when he got traded from Houston. Yeah, yeah. When he was going to Houston. No, no, no, no, no, I mean, you know, I don't think it was like I don't think it was because of that. I think Houston felt they needed to make a change. So I don't know.

I'm not on the I'm not in the front office for the rocket. So I can't can't speak to that per se. Yeah. Interesting. I think I've successfully asked a Chris Paul question on every single time you've come on this show. So I just want to check that box. What seems to be what type of home insurance would you not purchase right now?

What type of home and is this a set up to like a joke? No, it's not. I'm just asking you like if there's a specific company that might advertise a lot of television and Chris Paul that you would like to slander on our airwaves. That would be fine. Well, I do love that. Well, I don't know, man. It's a good question.

Yeah. Yeah. Good question. It's a good question off the top of my head. I just can't think of one. This is smart because I have to check. You never know who's going to advertise with mine. And maybe I'll switch companies soon. But I'll have to do the research on what would be a good company. Yeah. All right.

That's smart. Don't say no to any possible future advertisers. I like where you're right. Exactly. I like to I like to keep my options open and really, you know, do my due diligence and find out what each company is about. Right. Like you like think about it this way. If you had bash Kia back in the day, that would have been a lot of less money in your pocket, you know, right?

Yeah. I'm not just going to start, you know, wheeling in. So it's willy nilly at companies because, like, you know, you know, I'm trying to I'm trying to be a spokesman. Yeah. It'd be a bad teammate thing for you to do. Right. Right. Yeah. And I don't I don't I don't I don't throw teammates under the bus. Nope. Never. That actually is true.

Never because this is sarcasm. But Blake is actually a great teammate. Everyone needs to recognize that. Yeah, I was actually being I know I've been sarcastic for ninety nine percent. Yeah, you are a good team. All right. While we're not being started, there is one guy. There is one guy you guys have time I wanted to talk about. Yeah, go for it. Your brother.

Yeah, least favorite teammate of all time, like. Wouldn't share his toys growing up like wouldn't drive me places when he got his driver's license. Like just one of the shittiest teammates of all time. That's the only teammate out there on the bus. There we go. That's fair. All right. So while we're being a little serious for a second, a little serious, though, we were talking earlier in the week, there's been obviously a lot of real

world things going on, and I appreciated your take on it. That basically there's a lot of good things that are happening right now. What's what's it been like in LA? What's it been like watching the last like week and a half, ten days of, you know, everywhere, everywhere in America is having these protests. And it seems like it's good that that these are happening. But you've obviously been, you know, watching it from the front lines in LA. Yeah, I like I did say like it was very like discouraging at first,

like seeing like, you know, stuff like this still happen. And we're still at this place and still having to protest and argue for for, you know, rights, civil rights for all, really. Like that's really what it comes down to. But at the same time, like it's been super inspiring seeing so many people like. Care, I was talking to Coach Casey joined Casey and he was talking about, I mean, he was like he was the fifth black player to play at Kentucky. He was the when he was eight years old, schools just got integrated in Kentucky.

And he had to go like live through a lot, a lot of like, you know, BS. And he was like, you know, back then there was no white people protesting with us. There were none. So like in that regard, obviously we have taken steps forward. And it's also been inspiring to me to see how many people are being like, you know what? I need to like take the time. I need to like listen. I need to learn.

I need to educate myself like that's that is inspiring. And man, of course, there's always going to be people who are, you know, going the opposite way, trying to get a rise out of people or people who are just racist. But I think it has been really cool to see people come together and, you know, show like the good side of us. Yeah, yeah, I've definitely noticed that too. I was I was bummed out for the first three or four days that all of this was going on. I just didn't see a way that things were going to get better.

And I've started to see little things like I've started to see small improvements. And you're right. I've seen like more people educating themselves. More people joining the cause and helping to fight and speaking up. So that it's been a little bit heartening to see that. And this must be very different for you compared to back in what was it? Two thousand and fifteen when the whole Donald Sterling thing happened. And I guess you guys wore your jerseys inside out or your warm ups inside out.

I feel like this conversation that we're having right now is more about like us as a people, us as a country, as opposed to what are the clippers specifically going to do about this? Have you kind of felt that too? Yeah, I mean, I feel like, I mean, everybody's sort of been called to to share their voice or share their stance. And and like I said, so many people have the only thing that I don't particularly love is that like people support and people do things in their own way. You know, some people post, some people go March.

Some people protest certain places that they know don't hold the same value. Some people donate, some people volunteer. We all go about it differently. But as long as like you're going that direction, like I think it's it's it's an improvement. And it's a positive. And I feel like sometimes we as people sort of sit back and be like, oh, this person is not like they only did this or they only did that. Like I'm doing this. Like it's not a competition.

Like at the end of the day, if you are working to improve our system, then you're helping. So like the only thing I don't love about it is, you know, when people are sort of pointing fingers and saying, oh, this person's not doing it up or this person didn't act quick enough. Like if people are going that way, like I feel like we should be a little bit more lenient and respect that they are maybe taking their time to educate themselves and figure out exactly how they want to how they want to go about everything. Because like I said, people are are speaking up. And I think that's a good thing.

I agree. I think the least productive thing that we can do right now is shame somebody for making a contest. Exactly. I think it's like the more the merrier at this point. We're all in this together. If you want to speak out, if you want to help or do anything, that should be applauded no matter what. Yeah, yeah, I did. I saw your take here. You said I think the least that Roger Goodell and Drew Brees could do is make the sign the Saints sign Colin Kaepernick.

That's a spicy take. I like it. I was just thinking that maybe the Bucks could sign Kaepernick and then they could do hard knocks. And it would be Brady, Gronk, Kaepernick, Bruce Arians. And that would be just incredible. I also was like, you know, I also just kind of threw that out there. Like one of the best responses is somebody responded with the James Winston. Oh, yes.

Quinting at the scoreboard. Yes, yes. I was like, I mean, I wanted to like treat all sorry, James. That's my bad. I just, I just fired that off. I didn't, I didn't think about your, I'm just signing there. So hopefully we can take offense to that. Yeah.

That would be a hell of a, yeah, I'm looking at his tweet right now. That's, that's pretty awesome. Yes. That would be a great quarterback room though. Yes. And that all for those guys. It was unbelievable. Yes.

Um, all right. I got one last question for you, Blake. We had a friend of yours, Jensen Karp on the show a couple of weeks ago. Very good interview. Yes. Seems like a really good guy. But at the end, he kind of gave off the vibe that he was better friends with you than we are. Wow.

Yeah. Wow. So, you know what we should do? We should have like one, you know, like remember the newlywed show where you, you, I'll, um, I'll pick like 10 questions. I'll send them to you both and then we'll reveal who knows me better through those 10 questions. Oh, wait, wait, I'm just, I'm getting a text back right now from my source at TMZ. He says that Jensen Karp is, is your league.

Is your rat. Yeah. So you should probably kick him out of your inner circle. We would never do that to you. I mean, obviously I'm going to have to take this information and put it into my own internal investigation, like I've been saying. I can't really speak to that at this moment. But as soon as we feel comfortable that we have, you know,

come to the right conclusion, I will release a statement. Also ignore the fact that I just said I had a contact at TMZ. We got to fucking find this guy. Who do you think it is? Somebody at TMZ. No, I don't know anybody at TMZ texting you. Nope. Nope.

Not me. We got to find this guy. What's the reward if we find your rat? Yeah. Um, I mean, I think we can collaborate on a, on a reward, but I mean, you should work together. You should fake your death. Oh boy.

That's, uh, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if I can handle that, that much responsibility at a time like this. Yeah. I don't know actually how it would find the rat, but I just think you should fake your death as like a joke. Yeah. I mean, we'll keep that in the, we'll keep that in the back pocket.

Yeah. That's it. Maybe. Yeah. Just remember we always have that. We always have that card that we can pull. Uh-huh. Fake the death card.

We got that ace in the hole. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you could probably sell a hell of a lot of like life insurance after that when you come back. Yeah. True. Oh yeah. What if I took out like a big life insurance policy, faked my own death, got the money,

and then I was like, Hey, you guys already gave it to me, but I'm alive. No backsies. I can't actually get to keep it. There's like loopholes in life insurance. Uh-huh. And I think that's one of them. Yeah.

And you'll do commercials for them. If you say no backsies when they give you the money, I think you're legally fine. Or just cough on it. Yeah. If you just cough and sneeze all over it, they're not going to ask for it back. Yeah. They're like, Ooh, that's germ money. You got this.

You got this. Right. Um, I will break. We have, I will, I will let you know when we're going to do it, but Blake, the year will be happening. I think, I think late June, we'll give a, I think, what do you think's fair? A, a three day window that we will tell all Blake's that they got to be ready because one day is too easy.

Right. Yeah. All right. So we'll do a three day last year. I think it was a week last year. Yeah. It was a week. It was like Monday through Friday.

Right. Oh, we, yeah, the week was coming. It was terrifying. I was on pins and needles. We have to do it. We'll do it like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Yeah. Three days.

So we'll, we'll, we'll let all Blake's know. We'll do three days of, uh, you have to be ready for Blake of the year and made the best Blake wins. So good luck. We won't talk to you until that one last question for you, Blake. Is there any other Blake that you would like to nominate? We're trying to narrow the field down right now. We're still looking at the same Blake's as last year,

but if you have any other nominations, um, as a Blake, you are entitled to bring somebody else into the convo. Uh, I heard Blake Shelton was interested. Oh yeah. That's right. He's a fellow Oklahoman, um, like, uh, Blake, there's Blake lively, obviously. I don't, I know nothing about her, but, um, he's a Blake. Wasn't that video Trey Young just playing in Oklahoma?

Like there was just a million people around, kind of crazy. Yeah. That just happened, right? Wait, what, what was this? Trey Young was playing in a game and there was like a full crowd there in Oklahoma, like a summer league game. Oh yeah. Oklahoma's been like, my parents still live there.

Oklahoma's been like sort of back for a while now. Like they've been going to restaurants for like a month. Nice. I'm happy for Applebee's. Oklahoma's a little, little further back. Yeah, respect. Yeah, respect Applebee's and the three outbacks. I mean, yeah, that's so cool.

You guys, yeah, you guys, yeah. Well, too good for Applebee's. No, no, dude, I love outback. The only time we've ever been to Oklahoma city was we went to a Chili's and our waitress offered us mushrooms, not like the kind you eat with your food. Portobello? No, the other kind within like, I think it was right after we got our drinks. She's like, you guys, you guys want to want some boomers?

And we're like, uh, yeah, probably. Sure. Did you see that map lake? It said, it said that Oklahoma's favorite restaurant was Tim Hortons. See, I completely, I could be out of, you know, I could be out of the loop. I completely disagreed with that completely. Like there's so many other restaurants that I would say are more Oklahoma favorites than that. That made me wonder like who was putting this list together.

It was the Policy Institute of Statistical Studies. It was the PIS Institute. So are you saying that the PIS Institute got their numbers wrong? I'm not particularly saying that they got their numbers wrong. I'm just saying it made me wonder how they judge this competition or how they, what type of measures they're going to to get these statistics. Because like I said, a native Oklahoma, Tim Hortons is just like, it's just, it's just not what I would associate with being Oklahoma's favorite fast food chain.

What would you say? That being said, everyone at PIS, you know, if you did your due diligence, then it's fine. It's fine. And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. And I will step up and apologize to everybody at PIS. Okay. All right. I'll pass that along to the boys in the back.

Okay. All right. Well, Blake, thank you as always. Woo. Next time we talk to you, hopefully you pick up quickly because it's Blake of the Year season. Blake of the Year. Blake of the Year 2020. Yes.

Asterix. Thanks. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. There's an asterix on this one. You said it.

Damn. Do you want to win this? I don't know. I mean, now I'm thinking I might, maybe I should this year out. Maybe I'll retire at combat next year. Yeah. Asterix. All right.

Yeah. Okay. Okay. By the way, I sell that fucking car. I'm addicted to calling things Virgil's now. Like using that as a unit of money. Yeah. Yeah.

Virgil Abloh, 50 bucks. Okay. A thousand Virgil's to charity. Um, all right. Hank, let's do it. We got Mount Flushmore of Vacation Things. So things that suck on vacation because Hank is just off vacation. We know he didn't have that great of a time.

The reason why we want to do this for you guys is because you just went on vacation and you're trying to start a smear campaign against, uh, smear campaign against vacations. We wanted to give you an opportunity to dominate a Mount Flushmore for a change because you just got done with your vacation. So it's fresh on the top of your mind. Okay. You go, you go first.

You go first. Okay. So it's the worst parts about vacation. And you, I mean, again, I'm sorry that you have to go on all these vacations. I am too. Like I, you know, knowing how bad they are. Yeah. You really shut off too this time.

Oh yeah. We weren't expecting that. Really? Yeah. You like didn't even respond to text. No text. Hank is gone. Yeah, those were, that was out of spite.

Hank, how long did it take you to get caught up on, on the saga that like the $50,000 problem? Oh, I was, I was having a great time. I was, you know, a little, a little drunk. Just laughing, laughing, laughing. Every message I was coming in, I was just slapping my knee. We figured that you would not have any idea what we're talking about. Okay. No, that was just, you know, that was a spite.

I was hoping you guys would respect my privacy. You know, I asked in advance, like, hey, can I take a couple, a couple of days off? And you guys are like, yeah, go for it. And then, you know, I'm, I'm away. I'm waking up and it's like, just tweet, tweet, tweet. Like they're, they're chirping you, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, you know what? Okay.

I'm not, I'm not, I'm not engaging. Uh, when someone else, like when you're on a vacation where it's like a lot of cooking, a lot of in the house stuff and, and someone else or like another couple cooks and then you eat the meal and it's a really good meal. And you know that you, it's your responsibility to clean up afterwards. Okay. If it's like a fancy meal that involves several pots, pans, that sort of thing. Yeah.

And you do nothing beforehand and then you eat it. You're probably, you're probably a little drunk and you're like, I'm, I'm full. Like I just want to do nothing. And you're like, oh. Yeah. Hot take. I think the people that cook those dinners, like they love cooking those dinners. So it's not, it's not even a chore to them.

Yeah. On vacation? They think, like. Cooking? Great. The, the, like, give and take that they put out to you is we made this dinner. So it's in the social contract that you'll clean it up. When in reality, they fucking love making that.

That was like a little mini vacation on their vacation. Yes. Yes. Okay. PFT your pick. My first pick is going to be sunburns. Sunburns on a vacation. It can ruin like two and a half days of your trip right there.

If on day one you get cooked. Now a sunburn on the last day is kind of alpha. You go back to the office. Everyone's like, everyone's like, you got a lot of color. Yeah. That's a good one. Nothing worse than a sunburn. All right.

My first one. I'll go with just, just packing and overpacking. I've never not overpacked for a vacation. You use like pack 15 t-shirts. Use three of them. And it's just the worst because you're just lugging around everything. Also just the, the anticipation the night before when you're like, I'm excited to go on vacation, but I have to pack.

Yep. That sucks. And then missing your dog. That sucks. Yeah. Part of vacation. You only have one. Shit.

Counter, you only had one. What are you talking about? Billy's going to. No, Billy's going honorable mention. Oh, okay. I didn't really want Billy. We have a lot of Billy. That's a good, that's a good spin zone on big cat's part for forgetting that

Billy was going to be the fourth Mount Ross. No, I said he was doing honorable mention. Okay. He just didn't listen. Did you do that? I said, no, no, no, I, I'm not. You're waiting till the end. Yeah.

Yeah. Do you join? No, no, no, you're honorable mention. Yeah. I told them. Counterpoint to the dog one is the dog upon return is so good. Yeah. But it almost makes me like, oh, I wish I, I wonder what my dog's doing right now.

I want to share this moment. Yeah. Right. Or you see other dogs. Yeah. When you see another dog on vacation, you're like, yeah, I miss my dog. You feel like you're cheating. Yeah.

You're like, go on vacation. There's a big lawn. Yeah. And you're like, fuck, my dog would love this. Yeah. My second pick. Wait, Billy. My second pick is going to be the trip back from a vacation,

whether that's driving back from the beach, getting on a plane and doing the whole like drive to the airport, get on the jet, fly back, cab ride home. After the vacation, it's so anticlimactic. You just wish that you were still on that trip. Yes. Yes. Okay. Waking up on that's a good one.

Waking up on the third day after like binge drinking for two days, and they're really just all sets in. So bad. Yeah. But you also see like you're laughing, but it's like this. No, I know. It's a bad part of vacation. But you also like can get drunk again.

Yeah. Right. But there's, you know, there's that one day where you're like, oh man, like this is like it hurts. The headache day. Yeah. Yeah. So the first couple of days, you have to sleep the whole day just to be able to make it

tonight. Just to catch back up. Yeah. The first couple of days, you can kind of play it off and you're like, let's keep this train rolling. But usually day three, you're fuzzy. Your brain's not quick. And it hurts too.

Which day was that for you this last week? I think Thursday. You slept all day? Slept all day. Yeah. I have my friend, West, that does the hardbacker podcast. Yeah. Yeah.

West, his whole family rents a beach house every summer. And when he was a kid. You shamed him too. No. It's one week of summer, which I feel like is a perfectly reasonable amount of vacation. Agreed. You're going to be three weeks this summer. No, one of them is not my choice.

There was nothing I wanted to do more than come into this office that we could drive for. Perfect. Yeah. We can't. We can. You're almost like half a Virgil in days of vacation. But you don't shame vacation.

No. West used to call this the beach flu, is what I'm saying. Which is great trick to play on kids. It's like, oh, you get sick when you go to the beach. Beach flu. All right, Hank, your third pick. When you are coming back from the beach and you kind of have like a shaved ass from going in the ocean, you have to ride a bike back.

Because you don't, you know, there's no cars. Brutal. Brutal. That's true. Yeah. The beach cruiser rash is the one. Yes. Yes.

That's true. They call it the beach cruiser blues. Yep. Yep. All right. PFT, your next pick. I like that one. Food poisoning.

That happens every time you go on vacation. Sometimes if you're in a different country. Okay. Because I'm saying like you go to, sometimes if you go to Mexico, you're not used to the food and water that they used to cook it with there. A lot of times when people travel to Asia or vice versa, they come to the United States from Asia. The cuisine is different.

The water is different. Everything's different. So you just end up hanging out on the toilet for a couple of days. That sucks regardless. Vacation or not, food poisoning is the worst. Although you lose a few pounds, which is nice. Get a kickstart. Okay.

Hank, similar to your beach rash, that sand in your shoes, like just being stuck, you can't get all the sand out and it's got that kind of annoying feel to it. There's nothing worse than that. Just having like a little too much sand in your shoes, maybe on your legs gets a little itchy, that salt water gets a little itchy. A little pro tip as a pro vacationer. You should only be wearing flip flops or like crocs for the entirety of your vacation crocs. What about what if you have shoes you need to go to the bar or something and get a little

sand in it? Flip flops. Okay. All right. And then my last one is when you go on a vacation and you're at a hotel and there's hours on the jacuzzi. That sucks. When it's like jacuzzi can't go on the jacuzzi past 9 p.m.

It's like that's exactly when I want to go on the jacuzzi. When I'm drunk. And they know. They know that. Yeah, they know that and it just sucks. Your whole day like I want to be able to go on the jacuzzi when I want to go on the jacuzzi. That's any time. There's absolutely no difference between hanging out in a hot tub at 5 p.m.

And then just chilling in a nice spa at 11. There's no difference to your health. So that's the worst. I agree with that. When you got to actually plan your jacuzzi trips not you know spur the moment. My last one is going to be along the same lines of you're staying in a hotel and you miss the continental breakfast because it ends at like 8 a.m. Like the two early continental breakfast you go down all that's left is like two hard boiled eggs

a watered down cup of apple juice and like a lukewarm cup of shitty coffee. Yeah. And maybe like one fruit that it looks spoiled. The last fruit. Or when you go when you're out somewhere else a nice hotel and you order a full fucking new you're gonna. What. No, I keep going.

When you order a full breakfast and then when you finish your full breakfast you then go to the buffet and just grab a croissant off the top and then you get charged for another full breakfast. Like a $19 breakfast buffet is free vacation and done right again. Not saying anyone's ever done that. No. But that was an all time move that he did. It is what kind of weirdos. Double breakfast to light.

What kind of weirdos wake up on time for the continental breakfast at like seven o'clock in the morning. And they're like yeah I got to be the first person down there to grab like a playing card size box of rice crispies. Old bags. All right Hank your last one. My last one is when you roll up to the ice cream store and as you're pulling up the line is like around the corner.

Oh that's such a good one. I mean you obviously dominated this because you are a vacation guy. But that is such a good one. There's nothing worse than the ice cream. Oh it's hot outside. You're just craving you know you made the decision like let's get some ice cream. You're like fuck yeah ice cream. And then like you know you probably if you're far away and you see the line forming like oh no please.

Yeah yeah that can't be it right. There's got to be like a gas leak in the apartment building next door. That's not the line for Mr. Whippy. Right. Yeah what about when you go to a hilarious restaurant that's got a funny name and you want to buy one of their t-shirts that's like kind of dirty kind of sexual and you get one of them and then your buddy gets a funnier one than you. Oh that does suck.

That does suck. What about when you're staying in a hotel in the outlets next to the bed or not right. Like if they're maybe missing an outlet or it's behind the the bed. Yeah. That could fuck up in a whole vacation. You can't charge your phone correctly. If you're when you're staying at a hotel and they forget to make you a pillow towel animal. Oh yeah.

Come back from the beach to just regular folded towels. Unbelievable. They're getting a Yelp review from me. Yep. What about in the hotel where actually shout out to like the electronics companies that sold all the iPhone 4 accessories to hotels. All in like one year. Like every single alarm clock in every hotel across America went from Groundhogs Day style

of 1980s alarm clock to like 2009 alarm clock overnight. And then Apple switched up the plug on it. Yep. How about when you're like the hotel bar or like maybe the the Tiki bar down by the beach doesn't have your favorite beer. And you're like oh we only have two kinds of beer and you're like fuck. Yeah. I guess I'll drink Takate the whole you know vacation.

All inclusive resorts. Usually the food's not that great. Yeah. And they usually do the singular beer. Yeah yeah. So likewise with that if you're at an all inclusive resort and you don't have any cash to tip like the first night that you're there then you become the asshole that everyone hates and then you're getting extra water in your tequila.

Your bag being too full on the way back when you can't really repack because you like probably gain that cool shirt. Yeah. Or some kind of hat that you're drinking all day and you're like I'll wear this hat forever. And double threat if you've got a sunburn on your shoulder and you're trying to put that big bag over. Oh man. When it's cloudy all week and you can't get any like dope pics for the gram.

Wait was it cloudy. No it was actually there's some good sunsets. Did you get any dope pics for the gram. I have you know a lot of experience. Yeah they've been some cloudy days. All right I think that's it. Do we have anything else that we're. Oh I fuck this should have been one of my top two when it rains.

Yeah. Just when it rains. When it rains. Okay well we'll see everyone Wednesday. We have will you say something Billy. I can't get one. Oh your honorable mention. Yeah.

Wait how much time are we at right now. Just one second one second changing state laws. Like the changing state laws. Love you guys. Like getting arrested in Virginia with a radar scanner. Okay so like there's different laws in different states. So like in Massachusetts you can't buy a beer in gas stations and they shut down. Yeah but then in Rhode Island you can't buy you can't buy beers.

Then in New York you buy beer in gas stations but they shut down everything really early. And then in Virginia it's illegal to have a radar scanner. So if you're driving through Virginia and you're totally legal with your radar scanner through all the other states if you're driving through Virginia and you get pulled over they know you have it even if you hide it. So then they search your whole car and they're not allowed to search your car. No because they say they have their radar detector detector. No you're right Billy they can't do that.

No because they're sir am I being detained. No they're they're I. They cannot search and seize without a warrant. No they can't. If they have the beeper that says you got a beeper in there. It's like them seeing drugs in your car. They can with a radar detector. They have a radar detector detector.

No you're right. I just let them search my car. I have nothing to hide. Besides a radar detector. Billy why don't you get a radar detector detector. A radar detector detector detector. Yes but that's also kind of a radar detector. Good point.

Is it wait was that your only honorable mention? Oh oh oh oh. In that same love. Yeah I don't like state law. It literally is the affiliate verse to set them in there. Yeah and then you get to like you get to other laws and suddenly your dog's illegal because of the dangerous dog act or something. And then so I just like to stay home and I'll come to work anytime.

This is way better than a cubicle by any means.
