Starting point is 00:05:06 the rest of the regulation going after Grant Williams, Jimmy Butler picked him apart, the after Grant Williams got into Jimmy Butler's face, the heat finished the game on a 24-9 run, the heat also, these playoffs are 6-2 when trailing by 10-plus, the rest of the NBA is 14-59 when trailing by 10-plus in the playoffs. That's crazy to think because it also implies that the heat go down by 10-points a lot, like it's pretty frequent that they end up being beaten by 10-points and then they manage to pull it together at the end. If I were you Hank, I would want to fire Missoula right now, before game 4.
Starting point is 00:05:50 I don't disagree, I kept Brad in there. Okay, counterpoint, this isn't all Missoula's fault, Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown are all NBA guys, and what's happening? I think the coach deserves a lot of blame, but you can't have him just be the fall guy when the players are playing like this. Yeah, I mean tonight they shot 7 for 74 from 3, you're never going to win games with that type of shooting percentage. Is that a Frank the Tank set?
Starting point is 00:06:21 I think it's pretty close, something like that. 7 is for 74. He's not far off. But I didn't even really see how much Grant Williams got in his face when I was at the game, but obviously I did notice how they were basically isolating him, going at him and scoring at him every single time. And Robert Williams had been playing well and he checked in with a minute left after it was over after they just went on this crazy run with Grant Williams in, and that
Starting point is 00:06:47 one made no sense to me. Yeah. The coaching has been bad, I agree the coaching has been bad, but I'm just saying at some point it's also the players. Of course. And Jaylen Brown has not been good at all. Jason Tatum has, game two it felt like he was like, hey, I'm putting the team on my back.
Starting point is 00:07:04 And then that fell apart, but yeah. I just looked it up. The Celtics are 36 for 92, so that's 39% shooting 39% tonight. It felt like 70 for 72. Yeah. You reminded me to throw in the what if game tonight. What if Grant Williams never made that 1-3 that made him think he was the best player in the world?
Starting point is 00:07:25 What would happen, Hank? What would the world look like? Probably 1-1. 2-1 at this point, but yeah, they probably would have had a win. Yeah. And so you're pretty down and the vibes kind of suck, which I understand. We do want to talk about Brooks because that was a huge win for us. But the coin.
Starting point is 00:07:42 But the coin said that we have to talk about the Celtics first. There was a timeout that Spolster called. We were watching this live in the Gambling Cave with Titus and the heat were up 29 points. The Celtics cut the lead to 29 and Spolster took a timeout. Yeah. To stop the bleeding at that point. Yeah. And that's just that's rubbing it into Celtics fans like this is what a coach does.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Yeah. So where do you go from here? Because this does feel, you know, no teams ever come back down from 3-0 in the NBA. I mean, Boston, I don't think Boston is a city has what it takes to come down from 3-0. Do you think, Hank, this is blow it up kind of like, what do you do? Just fire the coach? It's not over. Okay, Jake.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Some people replied to the Hanks like, this is a disaster tweet on Friday being like, I can't, I'm already pre mad about Jake saying the series isn't over. So there it is for the folks who are ready for that. And the fact that Jake is wearing a Hemi shirt right now. Jake stored up barstelsports.com. It was a 30 point game and we finally got him to say the game was over. Hank, talk to us. What, what, where do you go from here?
Starting point is 00:08:45 You got to fight. You got to come back. You got to show something. Anything. You got to win at least a game, hopefully two. If they get blown out in game four, it's, it's maybe not blow it all up, but it's, it's make some moves, make some serious. Reassess, reassess.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I mean, Jake only has to go one and what, you have to go one and two Hank or no, Jake can go one and one. Hank has to win two games in a row. Hank has to win two games in a row. That's good math. But shut the fuck up, Hank. Otherwise, Hank's not allowed to golf for a month. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Well, he can get out of it with a sole patch. Yep. You can get out of it. Have you thought about that? Would you do a sole patch to not be able to golf? Probably not. We should also say, because the story obviously is, I mean, the Celtics had title aspirations. They were in the, in the championship last year, down three, oh, getting absolutely like
Starting point is 00:09:39 killed in game three. The heat deserve all the credit in the world. They're just fucking good and they play as a team and it's like kind of crazy when we've spent the entire leading up to the postseason, then in the postseason, like who's really good. The heat have now, they've, they're one game away from the NBA title and they've lost three total games. Yeah. I'm going to say right now, as a Nuggets fan, I am now afraid of the heat.
Starting point is 00:10:05 I was looking forward to the heat. I was like, give me the heat in the finals. I think the Nuggets could beat the shit out of them because the Nuggets are a superior team, but there's something about the heat. There's just something you can't even put your finger on one thing about them that makes them so good right now. Well, Jimmy, Jimmy, but Jimmy also didn't like dominate tonight. Like he normally dominates scoring wise.
Starting point is 00:10:23 They're all, they're all like the heat are just a very good basketball team all around. And if I'm the Nuggets, I don't want to overlook the heat yet. They had the stat. There was a moment in the game where the, the heat undrafted players were beating the Celtics overall because that's just like, they just have guys that are all stepping up and playing within the system and heat culture. I know I declared it dead, probably the dumbest thing I've ever done when they lost to the Raptor.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Was it the Raptors? The Hawks and then almost lost to the Bulls. And ever since that moment, I don't think there's been anything stronger in the world than heat culture. Yeah. It is the strongest strain of culture out there. More teams should have heat culture. Yeah, seriously.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Go find heat culture because it's fucking dominant. Hank, I'd like to get like a real basketball answer already though. Let's say hypothetically you guys lose game four. So it's a sweep. Who do the Celtics move on from at that point? Zula. Dund. He's already gone, I think no matter what.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Yeah. I mean, I don't think I don't, I don't want to move on from, from Jalen Brown, but I, I don't know. There's somewhat of a question mark with him. Like it feels like maybe he's going to one out. I hope he doesn't, but that wouldn't blow my mind. It feels weird. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:36 It's not like both Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum as players are very good, but together it feels weird. Something feels off. Right. And I feel like once the season ended, that would, that would come out. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:51 There's going to be, the athletic is going to write a hell of a postmortem. Email. Email doka fuck to everyone's girlfriend. Yeah. Bring him back. I don't care how horny is. If they had known how bad Joe Missoula was going to be and how bad the season would end, they would not have fired email.
Starting point is 00:12:05 They'd be like, okay, I'm going to look the other way. He just fucked one person. This is, this is like the scene when, when Tony Soprano gets in the bathroom with Jackie April Jr. He's like, put up your hands. Put up a fight. Fight like a man. That's, that's how I feel with Hank right now.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I mean, the series isn't over. We want to pick on him, but he won't even put up a fight. Series isn't over. He's as doom and gloom as possible. It's not over. Final 128 102. There you go. He's got a win game for.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Yep. Then you got PD tomorrow. Sheldon game six on the bump and then seven. Anything can happen. There you go. If they had Pedro Martinez started starting point card, do you think they'd have a better chance? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:45 With those hands. Yeah. Get Poppy in the, in the paint. Have him back down bam. Oh, all right. Anything else Hank? No. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:58 I wish Max was here. Max is flying back. He would have loved tonight. Yeah. He could maybe try to call him. It'd be very funny though. If, if right in a rod's face cause he's sitting courtside, Boston did come back from three oh deficit again.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Listen, crazier things have happened. You can't come back from three oh without going down three oh first. Have crazier things happened. I think this would be the craziest. Yeah. In NBA, it would be right. It's never happened. It's literally never happened in the NBA.
Starting point is 00:13:21 I guess John Morant with another Instagram gun. That's kind of. Well, that wouldn't be at all. No, I'm saying like two Instagram guns is crazy. Yeah. It was more like, oh, he's on live again. Yeah. The first one would be actually, it'd be crazy if John Morant did like an entire year
Starting point is 00:13:36 of Instagram lives with no guns, no guns. By the way, we should say John Morant has now gone what a week and a half. Yeah. Without waving a gun on Instagram live. Congratulations. Ja. Yes. He's cured.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Okay. Better news. Brooks Kepka, PGA champion. Good job. Good job. All of us. We lost a group like teamwork effort by pardon my take as a whole. We had divvied up our entire like Sunday.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I was getting negative. Jake was staying positive. PFT was trying to mush Hovland. Hank was after Scotty Schaeffler. We just like Brooks Kepka. That guy is nails. He is back. We fought a war on all fronts.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Brooks did his end. Yes. He played golf. I guess he did the majority of the war. He did a lot. He did a lot of work. Max. Oh, Max Homa.
Starting point is 00:14:28 I think he deleted the tweet. But some. Oh, here it is. This is from Louis Van Hall. He said, Brooks gets Blake shout at him and Max Homa gets spicy meatball and pervert. This is a conspiracy. And then Max was like, thank you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Thank you very much for pointing that out. Fair point. Fair point, Max. But congrats to Blake. He was huge when he had to be because for a little bit it looked like after he made that turn after the ninth hole, things were a little bit dicey. We didn't know which way it was going to go. We didn't know if Hovland was going to pull through.
Starting point is 00:14:58 And then the course came up big when the course had to. And it ate Hovland's ball. Literally. The bunker ate Hovland's ball, shout out the course. It disappeared. It disappeared. It got plugged further than anything has ever been plugged before that I've ever seen or felt.
Starting point is 00:15:13 If Brooks, I think Brooks would have won no matter what, but it made it so it was stress free down the stretch because there was that feeling like we're down four or five to start the day. I think he had a three stroke lead and it was like, oh, this is good. We got this. And then he had a couple of bogies and it got back to one. And it was some pretty thrilling golf back and forth, especially when Scottie Shaffer made his little late charge.
Starting point is 00:15:36 But Brooks, the guy is just nailed. So he's a five time major champion now. He's won more majors in that stretch than anyone else. He also, here's a crazy Brooks Kapka stat. He has played in 36 majors. He has been top 10 in 18 of them. So half of the majors that he's played in, he's been top 10, including five wins. He's been top 25 and 24 of the 36.
Starting point is 00:16:02 He basically, whenever there's a major, he shows up. He also has 27% of his wins are majors. So he just like every time it's crazy. He just, I think he has more, actually that might be, that might actually be wrong because I think it's, I think he has five major wins and four tour wins or something like that. More majors than normal tournaments. More majors than tour. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Well, it's like nuts. It's almost like the live tour was designed just for Blake Kapka because he doesn't care about the normal PGA events anyways. All he wants to do is get paid money to play golf and then show up at the majors. And that's where he really tries to compete. So this is really the best of both worlds. Brooks Kapka might be a genius. He gets a hundred million dollars to play golf in shorts, do 25% less work.
Starting point is 00:16:48 That's what Billy's really excited about. And then just show up for the tournaments that he cares about and dominate. It's crazy. He's got, he's hacked golf and it is not to get sappy, but we have a very cool job. We love our job. And these moments where it's like a guy that we root for a guy that we become friends with a guy who's become a fabric of this show to go through the injuries he went through to have everyone be like, oh, he's done, goes to live tour, to be back on top.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Like I was kind of emotional. I was kind of like, this is, and that wasn't just because we all won money on him. But it was very cool to see him get back to the top of the mountain. And so this is probably going to piss off golf fans. And let me just say there's a big, there's a big butt here. So obviously Tiger's the greatest, but, but I think Brooks is the closest to Tiger in terms of big lights showing up. Like, like the, the, the ice in his veins in these big moments.
Starting point is 00:17:44 He's just there. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not talking about Tiger. Tiger's the best of all time. Longevity, all the wins, everything he's got, whatever, 18 majors, all that. That's Jack Nicklaus. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Jack Nicklaus. So Tiger is what, 17 or 15? Either way, Brooks though, like if you're looking for the guy, I think there's been times when it was like Rory and then obviously Scotty Sheffler and John Rom have been incredible the last few years. David Duvall for like a year and a half. Yeah. Like Jordan Spieth had his moment, but if you're looking for the answer of like, who's
Starting point is 00:18:12 the most, who's the guy you can depend on the most in the big moments? It's Brooks Kepka. What if Brooks just went nuts and for the next 10 years continued to dominate? Brooks is 10 away from Tiger. Yeah. I'm just going to say, I'm going to be the first to say it. Brooks can catch Tiger Woods major record. Every, I mean, he, the guy finished second in the master's like, like that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:18:32 It's not a fluke. Yeah. It's, he's back. He's all the way back. Officially back. So I think what would we get him at 20 to one today? Like there's no chance we're getting him at 20 to one for the US Open. No, no.
Starting point is 00:18:44 In Los Angeles, I believe that's Max's home track. Yeah. Just every course in Southern California, I just say is Max's home track. But yeah, I mean, Brooks, it was awesome seeing him come out Friday, Thursday. He was a little shaky Friday. He put on a clinic on the back nine Saturday. He was again dominant compared to what other people were shooting. I did.
Starting point is 00:19:04 That's the thing. Like he finished what nine under. Yeah. That's an incredible score for the way that this course was set up with the weather that they had this week. They said an 18 handicap would shoot 150 at this course. How did they know that? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:19 If someone said that, I just said, that's me. Oh, that was you. No, no. Oh, no. I would shoot. You're an 18 handicap around there. Yeah. On the windy day.
Starting point is 00:19:27 They were saying that. Yeah. I don't know how they fucking know that, but whatever. The wind looks shitty. Other big story from the PGA championship was Michael Block. Yes. He was a club. He was a club pro.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Yes. He's in Southern California, I believe. And he looks like a complete cross between Ryan Rosillo and Blake Bortles. And he dunked a hole in one on the back nine on Sunday. And that was awesome. Which ended up being super significant because he finished tied for 15th, which means he gets to play in the PGA championship again next year. Great story.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Like one of those. This is a Hollywood story. He did cry a lot. He was crying a lot. Well, Amanda Renner knew what she was doing, but in the interview right afterwards, because she goes, she goes, look what I have right here. It's a video of your of your home club. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:20:17 You know who took this video? It was your son. And then he started crying. They're like, and guess what? I know your son sick right now. He said that was the best moment of his life. And then he cried more. And then she goes, and on top of that, guess what?
Starting point is 00:20:30 Before you hit the shot, he said, watch this, he's going to make a hole in one. Damn. It was the perfect golf tears moment. But that one made sense. I was saying like he was crying every day in the post, like he cried like every press conference. Yes, yes, he did. He's a cry.
Starting point is 00:20:46 He's a dig for a meal of golf, which I mean, I guess you want emotion. He was just a great story, though. It's one of those stories that like you just, I was actually pissed for a while because they weren't showing him at all because they built him up for three days. And then on the final day, they weren't showing him and it's like, yeah, I want to see Brooks and Hovland, but we don't need to see them like debating with a rules official when we could see a live shot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:08 And then he forced his way back into coverage by hitting the hole in one, getting the up and down to finish tied for 15th. Great dude and a crier. Yeah. And he went out Saturday night and he went partying. He went out to some bars that are that are local in the area. A bunch of people got pictures with him out drinking the night before that just backs up. I think what a lot of us already know, which is you play golf better when you're hungover.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Yes. Yes. He also said you're like, get me the fuck out of the sun. You want to get home. So you play faster. He also said that he had his entire crew had flights for Saturday morning at 10 a.m. I love that. So he was he was not expecting to be around the reaction when, yeah, I think he even cried
Starting point is 00:21:42 when he when they told me he was playing with Rory the last day. Yeah. Guy just cries. Yeah. He cries. It was very emotional week for Michael Block. But he did. He did say afterwards, like I'm smart enough to know that my life is peaking at this very
Starting point is 00:21:54 moment. Yeah. Nobody ever realizes that while they're in the moment of their life peaking, yes, because they usually try to ride that wave and they're like, OK, I'm just get I'm using this as a launching point. He knew in that moment. He's like, that's the best moment of my life right there. All time perspective guy.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Yeah. He had perspective for days. And every time I see Amanda Renner on the golf channel or on was a CBS. Every time I see her, all I can think about is her saying, and just so you know, it's a four day tournament. But if you're not in the top half, you get cut on Friday and then you have to go home and you don't get paid. It sucks that full swing isn't with Brooks right now.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Yeah. But we're with Brooks. We haven't coming up. Liv should do their own full swing. They should. Where it's just parting, just like DJs, private planes. Yeah. There was definitely people were like, oh, the narrative of live golf players not being
Starting point is 00:22:40 able to compete. Brooks has proven that wrong. We also had the greatest hits brand. Brandon Lee Chambliss got very upset on set afterwards because they were talking about Brooks. I think Brooks is already qualified for the Ryder Cup, which is awesome. He did two tournaments and Brandon Lee Chambliss was like, yeah, they're playing for the other country.
Starting point is 00:23:00 And and like they had this weird, awkward stare down. So it's good to know that Brooks has everyone pissed off again. Brooks is still all the way back. Brooks is still an American citizen. I know. I just. It's crazy. Full swing live tour would just be a public execution winding up with a sword.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Yeah. For anyone. Yeah. And Phil Mickelson and just various leather jackets. Yeah. Oh, I would watch that. Hell yeah. But no.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Phil Mickelson paying off off the casinos in Vegas. Brooks should be. Brooks should be on the Ryder Cup. I'm going to go one further. Michael Block should be on the Ryder Cup. Why not? Why not? Why not?
Starting point is 00:23:34 Michael Block. Yeah. Great, great story. But Jake, I'm sure you were like all in on the Michael Block story. Yeah, it's really cool. It's just a regular guy. And I know he's played in majors before, but I mean, to play with Rory top 15, a whole in one playing with Rory.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Yeah. My question is, does his fee go up? He was I think it was $125 for a 45 minute lesson for a lesson. Yeah. Yeah. He's got to. You bought that up to 150. He's got it.
Starting point is 00:24:02 He also sounds like when he was describing his life, it sounded like the best life ever. He's like, I show up at the course, I do some like, you know, different paperwork for an hour. Then I go out and do some lessons. Then I go back, do a little more paperwork, go out and do some more lessons, then my kids show up at four o'clock and I teach them for a couple hours. He's like every day ends with my whole family at the golf club. Yeah, that's amazing.
Starting point is 00:24:23 It's like, I rule. I'm sure that we probably have a lot of club pros that listen to part of my take. I'm curious to know what your days look like because from my perspective growing up, the only time I interacted with the club pro was when they were chasing teens off the course. Yeah. Just be like, Hey, what the hell are you doing here? Are fucking the hottest mom. Yeah, that's probably it.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Yeah. Just probably bang bang some strange and chase kids off the ninth green. Yeah, exactly. So, uh, I don't know what else. I mean, it was a great tournament. It was fun. Brooks in New York too. He's won three out of his five majors in the state of New York.
Starting point is 00:24:53 This is, uh, the first time in what two and a half years, probably three years where Brooks has won not wearing shorts. Yeah. Who's back of the week pants, pants for Brooks Kepka. Yeah. What's that Hank? You okay? Where's that look?
Starting point is 00:25:07 Just thinking about the Celtics. I took my hoods back. Oh, no. Oh, pants. It's going to be shorts. Yeah. Oh, we also had, um, uh, Brooks. Brooks played.
Starting point is 00:25:17 It sounds so depressed right now. That's awesome. It's, it's sad. It's sad. I don't know what's, cause like it's actually the saddest place you can be as a sports fan because you're not technically dead. So you have to like, you have to like get yourself up off the mat and be like, no, no, no, there's still, there's still a game to be played.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Yeah. You're in hospice right now. But you know, deep down, like there's nothing. And like not, obviously not to make it about myself, but like I need them to win two games. Bad. Soul patch. Get you out of it. You can play all the golf you want with that sweet soul patch.
Starting point is 00:25:45 I mean, you saw how fast Max's beard grew back. Maybe yours will grow back that fast. Conservatively speaking, how many rounds of golf were you planning on playing in June? 20, 20. Oh, we're going to do two thirds golf set. We're going to Austin. We were going to play some golf there. We're going to go to Nashville.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Tight end. You Hank was going to play some golf in Nashville. A lot of great courses there, Chicago, moving to Chicago later on this week, some good courses in Illinois, courses and Wisconsin. We got you in Cog Hill. Someone already hit you up about Cog Hill. Oh, big cat. In June, do you want to go to Miami and we can play on Michael Jordan's course?
Starting point is 00:26:20 Yeah. Okay, cool. Yeah, that'd be sick. And Brooks will come. Yeah. He actually, he said that you were watching the game. We'll get to Brooks in a minute because we did call and he called us and he was drinking out of the trophy with his boys looked like the most fun ever.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Last thing about the PGA and then we got to talk nuggets, Lakers. I did laugh about Kyle Porter, CBS had a great tweet. He said, imagine telling yourself after the, I don't know how to say the South Carolina one, Jake Keowa. Yeah. Keowa PGA two years ago when the Bryson Brooks video emerged that two years later, Crusher's captain Bryson DeShambo would be one of the first to congratulate smash captain Brooks Capco on his fifth major at Oak Hill.
Starting point is 00:27:03 It's perfect. It is. It's poetic. Although I still hate Bryson. I mean, I'll be honest. It doesn't have the same fire that it had a few years ago, but when I, when I'm watching Bryson DeShambo play golf, yeah, I can't help myself. I'm just like, look at this fat fuck.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Well, yeah. Do you know what killed it for me? I mean, I still don't like him as well, but the fact that he got skinny again does kill a little like still. I hated his Roy did Bryson. That was the peak of Bryson and the videos he would put out and just so yeah, the haters has simmered a little bit also because he's not really a threat to Brooks. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Rivalry's over. Like rivalry. Yeah. Bryson won the PGA championship, but there were no fans around. He basically won the bubble tournament. It's Mickey Mouse. It's like him and the Lakers winning in the bubble. Those didn't count.
Starting point is 00:27:46 I also did see someone note that Brooks was deliberately walking slower today so that he didn't have to wait long for his shots because there was a couple of times he would just walk up and just, just hit it right away. It was awesome. He was lining up his two footers too. Yeah. That's what he was doing. He was like a gimme putt.
Starting point is 00:28:04 He was giving himself like a minute just so that he didn't want to get caught with the people in front of him. It wasn't a Hovland thing. It was a, he didn't want to be stuck. It was basically, he learned that he's not going to let any other groups control his pace. He'll control himself so he's walking slow so that he made sure that they never ran up in front of, for the golfers in front of him.
Starting point is 00:28:25 It's smart that way you're not ever standing over your own shot and always doing something and then you get up to your ball. You can take your normal approach to it. It was actually, it happened when, when Hovland had his ball disappear and Brooks was kind of getting iced out and then the minute he could shoot, he shot right away. Yeah. He was ready to go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Now I saw somebody suggest this on Twitter. I think it's a good idea if they did a Ryder Cup, but it was a format where it was live guys against PGA guys, like get that rivalry going. Really lean into it. If you're the PGA, if you want ratings, if you, if you want to drive, you know, more revenue because you don't want to lose more guys to live tour, come up with this like wrestling type shit where it's, you know, a rivalry that actually already exists right now.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Yep. But lean into it. Get into a ladder match against all of WWF. Yes. Why not? Yeah. This is how we get, this is how golf grows as a game. Uh, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:18 So we do have Brooks, we call him first and then we have, uh, Anders Holm, great interview in studio. Should we talk Lakers Nux? The game three on Saturday night, the NBA pulled out all their stops. Scott Foster, who got hit in the face and looked like he had lipstick on for the entire second half of the game. They were doing everything they could to make sure the Lakers won that game, including a, one of the weirdest fouls ever when Yolkic got called for his fourth because Anthony
Starting point is 00:29:47 Davis's leg hit Yolkic's leg, uh, but the Nuggets are just too good. They hit every shot. Jamal Murray was incredible in the first half and D'Angelo Russell is maybe the worst player ever. Yeah. I don't think I've ever done a game of the year. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do a game of, I'm going to do a game of the year.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Okay. Lakers Moneyline game four. Okay. It's got to happen. They got to have fight. It's got to happen. Do you know that the NBA will not let LeBron James get swept in the series? Do you know that the Nuggets as a franchise have never swept?
Starting point is 00:30:17 Anybody? Anybody. How crazy is that? They've never been to an NBA championship title, uh, or finals and they've never swept anyone. I still, I want to say Nugs and six, but I think I'm dialing that back to Nugs and five. I think I was wrong. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Cause I was right about being wrong about the Nuggets just now though. Yeah. If the Lakers win game four, then they go back to altitude LeBron's not going to win. He's probably not going to make the trip. They also should just play Austin Reeves a lot more and run the offense through him because he's like the only guy who consistently shows up for the Lakers. It's puzzling how bad the Lakers have been. I don't want to say they're bad, but how they haven't, I expected them to step up last
Starting point is 00:30:52 night. Yeah. I expected them to be much, much better at home. Um, and for a Jack Nicholson, who by the way, still looks awesome. Still looks awesome. Not a day over 30 years old. Might be battling dementia. Jack Nicholson.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, yeah, I thought that they would put on a better show at home and, and especially because you'll catch like, he didn't have his triple double. He was averaging a triple double. He had, he wasn't even close to it because of the foul trouble, but Jamal Murray just absolutely torched him and the Nuggets are just like all around a very good team. Like they just played great basketball.
Starting point is 00:31:24 They hit all the big shots. It was crazy to watch that game and just, you knew what was happening in the first half. You knew that like, I know that it sucks that the NBA has this element to it where you can feel like the refs are clearly trying to extend a series and the Nuggets just were better than the refs. The beating. Yeah. They were better than the Lakers and they were better than the refs.
Starting point is 00:31:45 And I've watched every Nuggets game this post season and a lot of their regular season games too. And every time I see Jeff Green on the court, I'm like, Oh, that's Jeff Green. He's still in the league. Yeah. Like I know that Jeff Green is on the Nuggets right now, but every, I have to say it every time he's on the court. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:31:59 He got up for a clean block that was called the foul, like got some serious air. He's what? 38? Let's see. He was, he was on the Georgetown team in 2008. He got draft. He might be 36 because he got, yeah, he's 36. He had drafted, I think, same year with Kevin Durant.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Yeah. He's the fifth pick. Still in the league. Yeah. I mean, Nuggets, fucking Nuggets are good. They're wagging, but again, really fucking good. I don't know what it is about the heat because I can't put my finger on why the heat are so, so good right now.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Obviously, Jimmy Butler is one factor, but everybody, if one guy doesn't show up one night, there are going to be three guys that step up in his place. It's crazy watching how good the heat have become over these playoffs and I'm a little bit afraid of them. Yeah. I mean, they play great basketball as a team and they're fucking phenomenally coached. Yeah. Also, I think Jimmy Butler might have photographic memory because his, his reverse celebrations
Starting point is 00:32:53 when he taunts somebody back in the same way that they've taunted him are too perfect. Yes. He did the timeout thing that Al Horford did, even got down on the exact same knee that Al did. He mimicked it perfectly. Yeah. I think Jimmy, like he has, I don't know if it's across the board photographic memory, but I know that if you fuck with Jimmy, it gets seared into his brain and he will, he
Starting point is 00:33:13 will do whatever it takes, come hell or high water to do that celebration right back in your face. Yes. Yes. That's facts. Okay. And then we have Brooks and then we have Anders home. Anything else going once, going twice.

Starting point is 00:34:49 Who's back of the week? Yeah. My who's back of the week is shorts. Oh, okay. Yeah. Nice. Good. Who's back, Hank?
Starting point is 00:34:57 Thank you. Good job. Why are shorts back, Hank? Brooks Kepka, just won a major today. He plays on the live tour. They're allowed to wear shorts. Big point of controversy. A lot of people saying no player that wears shorts and plays golf will ever win a major
Starting point is 00:35:12 and Brooks proved them wrong. He did. Big day for shorts. A huge day for shorts. All the shorts guys out there. That's a great who's back, Hank. Thanks. I love it, Hank.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Thank you. What about you, Hank? You're in the building on Friday night. Played some golf on Saturday. How'd you shoot? I shot well, actually. Hank, did you mute all notifications on the golf app that you use that used to tell me whenever you'd be golfing?
Starting point is 00:35:36 Yeah. Oh. I know. I haven't gotten any from Hank and I'm pissed off about it. You shot a 95. I shot a 95 Friday. I shot a 90 on Saturday. What?
Starting point is 00:35:46 Whoa. Damn. That'd be so shitty if your game took a step back because you didn't golf for a month. What if me and Big Cat played so much golf in June that we got better than you and you got rusty? You are going to get rusty. You can't go to a driving range. No, you can't practice.
Starting point is 00:36:00 That's golf. I mean, I can go. No, you can't. You can go to watch them. Yeah. Okay. Just for the ambiance. Hank was honestly saying that he was going to just go out to a bunch of golf course
Starting point is 00:36:08 and just walk. Yeah. Just to be near the game. I mean, like, Hank might become an alcoholic. I got nothing else to do. It's just unreliable for the entire month of June. No, it'll be great. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:36:22 It won't even be a big deal. No. I'm sorry, Hank. Hank. I'm sorry. It's not your fault. I'm sorry. It's not your fault.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Not over. You can get a house. Shut the fuck up. You can get a soul patch. Not over. Thank you for making me wear that. I don't think you know that, though, that you can get a soul patch. Or what if you rented a cat for the month?
Starting point is 00:36:42 Two months. Two months rental of a cat. If you've rented a cat for the entire summer, I'm willing to. Yeah. All the way from Memorial Day to Labor Day, you have to get a cat. If you got a cat for Memorial Day to Labor Day, that counts. And then because he'll fall in love with the cat. And he'll have to keep the cat.
Starting point is 00:36:57 You can't just give the cat back. You can't. You can't lose the cat. There's no way you'd give the cat back. You're, you're, you're, you have a big heart. That would make you a monster. That would make you worse than Max. You be Lena Dunham.
Starting point is 00:37:08 You be Lena Dunham. Let's just win on Tuesday. Let's just win on Tuesday. Okay. PFT Hoosier Hoosback. My Hoosback is the Golden Knights. Yeah. Our Golden Knights.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Our Golden Knights. Two nothing. Two nil. Most dangerous leading hockey against the Dallas Stars. And how many overtimes did game one go to? Four. Four overtimes. And like all four.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Yeah. I feel bad for Knights fans and for Stars fans. I obviously sucks worse for a Stars fan to watch four overtimes. But most hockey fans, when they're watching that at some point, maybe in the third overtime or like just end it one way or the other, just shoot me. Put me out of my misery because if you're watching your team play, play off hockey, it sucks.
Starting point is 00:37:51 The Panther game went to four over time. Oh, Panther game went to four over time. Yeah. This went to one over time. One over time. Okay. Both of their games went to one over time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:00 We've obviously been watching the hockey very kind of. All four games have been decided in overtime. Correct. And the Panthers game one was quadruple over time. Yeah. And it was also a very, very funny stat that they showed on the TNT hockey show. I don't know if you guys saw this.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Oh, I did. That was an insult. It was an insult stat that they brought out on our good friend, BizNasty. And just so you guys know, this aggression will not stand towards Paul Bissnet. It ranked the number of total points in the NHL that everybody that was on the desk had.
Starting point is 00:38:28 I'm trying to pull it up. But there's, but it's Gretzky, Anson Carter and Lungquist. Yeah. Lungquist is goalie. So at least. BizNasty has more points than Henry Lungquist. Okay. So it says number one, Wayne Gretzky, 2857 points.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Second place, Anson Carter, 421 points. Makes sense. Oh, this must be met. This must be wrong because it says Henry Lungquist, the goalie has 27 career points. Okay. So BizNasty has more. And then, no, Paul Bissnet's number four on this with 22 career points.
Starting point is 00:39:01 That, that, that can't be right. Damn. I'll turn her and get that corrected. That can't be right. Right? No, that can't be right. Less than a goalie. Damn.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Anyways, we've been watching a lot of hockey on part of my take. Go Knights. Go Knights. Let's go Knights. We're up 2-0. Yeah. Huge. Huge.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Huge. Look, we just won it all. Be sick. Yeah. Hang another banner in the PMT studios. Ah. Yeah. I mean, Jake is, Jake is just silently going to win two titles in spring.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Yeah. And Brooks, he's from South Florida too. He's fucking ridiculous. And he had two teams in the final four. This is, I mean, we did. I mean, I'm not claiming Miami and FAU. But we have. Yes, you have.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Yes, you have. You've claimed FAU. Well, throughout the tournament, yes, but I'm not going to like brag about them. Jim Bayheim was at the course this weekend. Yes, he was. So that counts the Syracuse title. Sure. Pretty much.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Yeah. Yeah. No, Jake, I mean, we, I think we predicted this too. Like Max and Hank will go like all out war. Yep. And then Jake will just show up and be like, what? The series isn't over, even though we're up for. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:05 No, I know. When you go up for. Oh, you're going to be like, who knows? They might just play another game. No, you know what's going to happen after the game's over. You will not see a human being stand up faster with his hand extended for a handshake than Jake Marsh will. It'll be like the second the clock hits zero.
Starting point is 00:40:19 You're going to get in Hank's face. You're going to stomp on his throat and be like, good series. Thanks for the sweep. Yeah. All right. Who's back is a rest versus rust debate because if both series do end in a sweep, so be Monday and Tuesday, the series ran. The NBA finals doesn't start till June 1st, no matter what.
Starting point is 00:40:39 So the Nuggets would have nine days off and the heat would have eight days off. What happens when both teams have the rest versus rust? Who gets rustier? Who gets rustier? Which team's older? I would imagine. Oh, I don't know. Because Haslam kind of skews the heat.
Starting point is 00:40:57 He does. Jeff Green skews the Nuggets. Did Haslam get in tonight? I don't think that he did. No, I don't think so. Average age. Yeah. That's going to be important to know because that's going to favor the older team.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Yeah, you're right. I would say they're probably about the same would be my guess. Let's see NBA teams. All right. So the Miami Heat are average age 28.7. Okay. Okay. And the Denver Nuggets are 27.3.
Starting point is 00:41:23 So pretty close. All right. So it's about a year off. Yeah. Pretty close. That would favor the heat. Fuck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Okay. And then my other that's too long to go. That is the NBA should change. They should bump it up. It's going to be very weird having. I mean, I for one am going to be happy to finally get some sleep, but that's also just a personal problem. What do the teams do if they have to spend that many days off to they have like full
Starting point is 00:41:47 like full contact, full like simulated scrimmages and their practices to keep them going. Our guy stat whole sports sent me the list of them and he was saying like, why, why wouldn't they just do a couple of scrimmages against each other? Yeah. That'd be fun. Yeah. Televised them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Call one of them game one or have I played golf for like a day or two? There's a week off. Yeah. I think was it tightest that said that they should do a Celtics Laker series. Yeah. A third play series. That would be great to get some ratings. A three game series in that eight game rest.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Yeah. They should have awesome. They should have that. Yes. They probably get more ratings. These are already doing work. Yeah. About a Nuggets Heat final.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Hank, would you want to beat the Lakers in a, in a, in a three game third place series? No. You wouldn't. I wouldn't care. Oh, I forgot to ask this question at the start. How much does it hurt you being down 3-0 knowing that you would be able to make fun of LeBron being down 3-0, but you can't because you're also down 3-0. It hurts a lot.
Starting point is 00:42:46 It hurts a lot. Yeah. I'm having no fun. Yeah. That's a great quote. I'm having no fun. Not even a little bit of fun? No.
Starting point is 00:42:58 There's no fun. What about Brooks? Yeah. Come on. Brooks was fun. Yeah. Brooks was a lot of fun. But then it just, you know, golf is kind of a trigger, triggering thing at this point.
Starting point is 00:43:09 You hate watching him enjoy his time on the golf course so much. Yeah. Knowing what you're going to get off. That could have been you. What have you, have you thought about if you don't golf for an entire month? Like what if you just like fall out of love with it? That'd probably be good for work. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Oh. Interesting. Save that quote. Yeah. Save that quote please. If a person doesn't have hobbies, all there is is work. Yeah. That's true.
Starting point is 00:43:37 I think work-life balance is good, but, you know, a work-work balance. Works too. It also works. But if you get the old George Costanz and you just, you get like super smart, you find so you start to play the piano, you get other hobbies and you're like, wow, golf is really taking up a big part of my mind. Work-work balance. There's working and there's just more work.
Starting point is 00:43:59 That's what you want. No, that's not what I want. You can still go on vacation and just hang golf on vacation. Yeah. I want a happy hang. Wait, hang. Do you really like vacations or do you just like golfing while you're on vacation? It's a means to an end.
Starting point is 00:44:12 I like vacation. No, I could. One got to go. Hank, one got to go. Golf or vacations? Hank's the alcoholic at the bar. Me. Huh?
Starting point is 00:44:22 Me. Hank's the alcoholic at the bar. He's like, I only smoke cigs when I drink. I only golf when I go on vacation. You ever try to go on vacation without golfing? It's like trying to poop and not pee. It's been happening to me recently and I don't know what's going on. Yeah, I can't do that.
Starting point is 00:44:39 I have a few times like a week. I'll just take a shit and then like a minute later be like, wait, I didn't pee. That's a go pee. Yeah. I don't know. To clean off the skid marks. No, but no, I'm saying like I don't. It's your own body.
Starting point is 00:44:52 I'm not even thinking about it. And then I'm like, oh, shit, I didn't pee. I got to go pee. What's going on with that? Some doctor tell me I'm okay. I don't think you are. I don't think I am either. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:05 I think it's a problem. It's not even like conscious. It's just like, whoops. A thousand percent. Yeah. I think I'm batting a thousand every time I poop. I pee. Not me.
Starting point is 00:45:14 My numbers are going down. It's tough. My other who's back is cold brew because we got to come at Stella Blue Coffee. Cold brew coming announcement on Tuesday. It is so delicious summertime. When I think of summertime, I think of summer vacations, golf, cold brew. So if you can't do the two in the middle, you might as well just do summer and cold brew. Live for coffee.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Yes, exactly. Because there's no, there's no golf. And if you have a soul patch, you can maybe save a little flavor saver. I could use a little cold brew right now. It's hot in the studio. It is very hot in the studio. Cold brew. It is super delicious.
Starting point is 00:45:49 We'll do it. We'll do a round of cold brews on Tuesday before we do the show. It is like, we made some really fucking good cold brew. So get excited. SellBooCoffee.com on Tuesday. Billy. My who's back is Antonio Brown in pro football. Oh.
Starting point is 00:46:04 He is finally found an owner that will want him to play for them and it's himself. So if you didn't know, he owns a AFL team, the Albany Empire. They've had been having some difficulties lately. You know how they say some really good players don't make good coaches. Well, some good players don't make good owners. He apparently wasn't paying coaches previously. And now he's actually making the best move he could as an owner and is going to suit up and play for the team.
Starting point is 00:46:31 I like that. That's where this is all leading anyways. Yeah. Hasn't he fired three coaches in the last month? And he's just not paying anybody. Yeah. Then he's like taking videos of him like paying people and then there's like restaurants that are being like the Albany Empire didn't pay their dinner tab.
Starting point is 00:46:46 And then he's like, it's a big shit show up there in Albany. If I was Antonio Brown, the player I would not want to pay. I would not want to play for Antonio Brown, the owner. Yeah. Is he paying himself to play? I don't know. He might actually get in an argument with himself. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:01 He could be a two hats type of guy. Yeah. Yeah. Well, hopefully he'll pay this next coach. Hey, I'll watch clips on Twitter. Yeah. Maybe it's maybe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:13 At least half. No, they'll they'll you know that like what will happen is he'll play and then you'll click on one tweet and then you'll just have your for you just be constant Antonio Brown highlights for a day. I will watch at least five seconds as I'm scrolling through Twitter of an Antonio Brown play in this whatever league it is. What if he's washed with those dudes? I think he'll probably dominate them if I had to guess.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Okay. Yeah. He was in the league what two years ago. Yeah. He won a Super Bowl three years ago. Yeah. I imagine he's probably better than he's also insane. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:48 True. Also true. They've lost a step. Yeah. All right. Jake, finish us off. My who's back is Randy Moss picking winners. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:57 National Treasure wins the Preakness. Shout out to the recurring guest. Quite the day for Bob Bafford. He announced his he did the Jim Balvano. If you can laugh, you can cry. Kill a horse. Yeah. Kill a horse win a race.
Starting point is 00:48:09 It's a full day. Yeah. Full day. Forget the horse horse's name that you killed. Yeah. You just have a full day in horse racing. I'm starting to get out on horse racing. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Nothing like cools off a nice Saturday that you have if you're having a couple beers watching sports on TV, like them dragging a tarp out onto a track and killing a horse. Yeah. No, it wasn't a good scene. It was not a good scene. The horse racing. Definitely. I love horse racing.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Always bet horses. But yeah, they got some issues. They got to figure out. And Bob Bafford being back. Yeah. I feel like that's what we have to do at Hank right now. He did like the bafford tarp out. The bafford cycle is kill a horse win a race.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Yeah. Hank is act like a man. Put your hands up. Fight. Do you want us to get the giant tarp back? Fight for your guy. I've been saying we got a win on Tuesday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:00 And you're not. Yes. Pedro game five. Shield game six. Game seven. Anything can happen. You got to watch the town on Tuesday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Director's cut. You do. You have to get. Well, actually, no, you probably shouldn't. Watch the tonight. Probably shouldn't watch the town. No, I'll watch the town. Because Missoula is like doing that and it's not working.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Do you think he watches the town even when he's sad? He puts on a somber town. Yeah. He puts on a cellar high water or something. A different bank robber. Or the departed. If he's going to watch a movie about bank robber, watch Heat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Or if you're going to take on Miami. Or if you're going to do bank robberies, why don't you just read some of Billy's blogs about Chiefs of Hawk. Yeah. Get you in the mood. Mm-hmm. You know, he's probably going to be on the run after this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:43 I mean, there's got to be another Boston movie that the departed. Wouldn't it be crazy if we found out afterwards, like at some point, like maybe. Like midway through the Hawk series, Joe Missoula's jujitsu instructor like choked him out a little too hard. Yeah. And like he lost a little oxygen to his brain. Permanent brain damage. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:04 They came out and they're like, we should have probably said something about this. But yeah, he went to the hospital because he was fooling around in jujitsu class for too long. Wouldn't shock me. No, it would not. Out of all the headlines you could get after this Celtic season, that probably would be like one of the least shocked. I would rather have my coach be addicted to cocaine.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Yeah. Like real bad cocaine problem than to be getting choked out all the time. Yes. Yes. Yeah. He's literally just going. His, his hobby outside of basketball is to get less oxygen into his brain. Yes.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Not, not good. He's essentially huffing paint. Not good, but watching solidarity Hank. Yeah. Come on. I will pick them up. Pick them up. All right.
Starting point is 00:50:44 We have a great, great call with Brooks Kepka with the Wanamaker drinking beers with his boys. And then we have an awesome interview with Anders home before we do that. Our takeover, right? Yeah. It's a takeover by our good friends, Turro. We love Turro. Hank just used Turro this weekend, had a great time in Boston.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Turro is the world's largest car sharing marketplace. And with Turro, the best part is you can book any car that you want for just about any occasion from a community of local hosts across the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Book an SUV for a road trip, something easy and affordable for getting around on vacation, or you can test drive an EV. I know we've got some listeners in Australia. I want to see a listener in Australia that's using Turro. I think we have one out there.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Use Turro if you're thinking, if you're down under, if you're thinking about driving from Sydney to Queensland, let's say. Yeah. You, I'm talking to you, Bruce. Book it through Turro. Okay. You can book that SUV. You can even get a vintage car.
Starting point is 00:51:39 You can get something classy for a special event or for a photo shoot. And every single trip is backed by liability, insurance, terms, conditions and exclusions, apply. We're going to be moving to Chicago. I don't have a car yet. I might get involved in the Turro scene. Let's go. That might be how I do the bridge car once I move out there until I buy my first car.
Starting point is 00:51:57 I want to be using Turro. You guys should use Turro to find your drive. Forget boring rental cars at turro.com. That's T-U-R-O dot com. Find your drive at turro.com. And now here is PGA champion, Brooks Kepka. Okay. We now welcome on PGA champion, five time major champion.
Starting point is 00:52:19 It is Brooks Kepka. Look at, he's got the, the Wanamaker trophy full of beer. Already. I mean, dude, first of all, just congrats. That was awesome. Thank you. That was awesome. Awesome.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Awesome. I mean, how you're, you're drunk. Talk to us about how awesome that was. Talk to us about how awesome that was. That was fucking incredible. And all I could think about today, all I heard was Blake, this, Blake, that. And all I could think of, I was like, oh fuck, this might actually really come true. It might be in trouble.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Yeah. Yeah. So, so both Bicke and I did hear from Jenna. She is, I don't think she's super happy with us to the point that you might have to name your son, Blake. Why don't we just compromise? How about, what if the middle name is Blake? I mean, I think the first name is up for debate.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Yeah. Okay. All right. All right. I still think it's up. Okay. Brooks, I actually, I've already broke her to deal behind your back cause Jenna Instagram story, she was like, this is getting too serious.
Starting point is 00:53:20 You guys got to chill with the Blake. And then she DM me and was like, what if he wins the US open? Then it's, then I get to name the baby. I was like, deal. Cause I'll just bet on him again. Yeah. I was like, I don't care what you name it. Baby.
Starting point is 00:53:34 I'll just fucking win more money on him. So just wait, win the US open. Look at that. That's awesome. All right. So wait, I got, I got a two, two real quick questions that I wanted to ask the 11th, you just got up there and fired that shot out of what looked like like the most miserable lie.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Did you even take a practice swing? I'm not really sure. It was so bad that I knew I was making bogeys. So I was just like, wherever this goes, it doesn't really matter. As long as it gets out. It was just like, you know how if you ever just try to like hurry something up, you know, it's not going to go well. Just try to hurry it up and like just be done with it because you don't want to deal with
Starting point is 00:54:14 the deal with what's about to happen. So yeah, that was basically it. Yeah. I mean, that was awesome. You just got up there and you just manned it out of the bunker. You're just doing your taxes in the, in the fucking bunker. Exactly. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Let's get it over with. I got all my, all my boys here. I love it. Getting rowdy. I fucking love it. The other question I had was, um, oh, it's not even a question. It's more just like, this is how, how much of a killer Blake or Brooks is. Uh, we were texting this morning on Sunday morning and the last thing you said to me
Starting point is 00:54:45 is like, all right, I'll talk to you later tonight. And I was like, wait, did he just, did he just basically say he's going to win this whole fucking thing? You had, you just have confidence. You have swag. Yeah. Yeah. Honestly, I was just really looking forward to drinking out of that thing again.
Starting point is 00:55:00 It's been a while. And, uh, yeah, I mean, honestly, I think we need to really just make this a, uh, weekly thing at the major. Just every Tuesday we talk. Yes. Uh-huh. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Now that the suspension is over, everything's done. Boom. Tuesday, you already know what's happening. Book it. Yeah. We have it. We have a standing opening on part of my take for you the Tuesday before the U.S. Open.
Starting point is 00:55:25 I'm agreeing with you. I'm saying, yeah, we've already booked it on the calendar Tuesday before the U.S. Open, you'll be on. And then Sunday you'll be on again. So that's five. You've got to want to make a trophy. How many beers fit in it? My guess is 21 beers.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Wait, how many, how many beers y'all? 14, 14, 18. We're under. They got it. They got it. Over under. Over under. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:55:47 That's. Yep. Count it. Count it. This is great. This is basically like what everyone gets to live. You even have your luggage. Like, are you going to fly back tonight?
Starting point is 00:55:58 Yeah, yeah, we're flying, but we're supposed to fly back in like 30 minutes. 20. Yes. The pilot said that they were going to time out at 1030, but we're pushing. I have another trophy related question because some people were mad that you didn't kiss the trophy when it was presented to you. Have you kissed it? Yeah, my lips have been on this thing a lot.
Starting point is 00:56:20 It's just that it's just only required alcohol for my lips. The Irish kiss. Um, all right, well, dude, I mean, I'm, I'm, is it weird to say that we felt like, so we felt like we want to major today as well. Is that fucked up to say? Because we were rooting harder than we've ever rooted. We had everyone in line. Hank was not allowed to say anything.
Starting point is 00:56:43 We all had debts on you. God, thank God for Hank. Thank God. Hank can say a word. It's a word. And it was. Oh, here we go. We're spilling beers.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Um, yeah, no, you guys should feel like you won. Okay. Honestly, everybody but Hank. Yeah. We won because of Hank keeping it quiet. Yeah. And maybe, maybe we'll invite him to grow. No, no, no chance.
Starting point is 00:57:06 He doesn't get an invite. Yeah. Okay. All right. No, no, no chance. Just be Austin. One last real question. Uh, I know this is like sappy because you're drunk and you just
Starting point is 00:57:17 won, uh, the PGA championship, but after you want it, was there a moment where you're like, fuck man, this is like all the shit I went through, the injuries, everything. And like here I am back where I should belong. Five majors, you know, in the last whatever, six, seven years, more than anyone else in that timeframe. You're like, yeah, man, I'm still Brooks fucking Kepka. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:40 No, honestly, I think I made the part. I laughed at it because I left it short and that's honestly the opposite of what I was trying to do. I was really trying to make it, but I was, uh, I looked right up after I made it and I looked right in my catty's eyes and he was there. He was there. He helped me through surgery.
Starting point is 00:57:57 He helped me through everything. And like there was like, uh, maybe a 10 second moment where it was like a flashback of everything from surgery till now. Like it was, uh, it was pretty cool. Honestly, it was, uh, it was pretty special, man. Yeah. And you're all the way back now. All the haters, they can't say anything now.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Brooks Kepka. Yeah. Honestly, I'm just excited. I've got what he's game tomorrow. I do. This is going to be a long week for me. He's game tomorrow. He came Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Panther's game today. And then got to go up and go play the live event this weekend. So, uh, yeah, I don't know how well that live event is going to go. I'll be dead on. I got a little, there's a little, I think the drool is starting to dry up. Right here. I got my passion on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Honestly, I need, if you give me five minutes, the second I get off this thing, I do this so hard to drink out of that thing. I'll bring it to you guys to drink out of, but it's, uh, yeah, you'll spill it all over yourself. Wait, can you, can you take, can you take a sip on, have, have one of your boys hold the camera and take a sip before you go. Here. Here.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Hold it. So you would drink on a stretch. All right. Brooks is drinking out of it. So much dribble. It's a lot of dribble. Oh, man. That's a sign of a good time.
Starting point is 00:59:17 Yes. Yes. All right, Brooks. I'm very happy for you. Congratulations. Is it, is it fucked up saying proud of you? I'm proud of you. I'm proud of us.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Well, I'm happy for myself because I want a lot of money too. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. I think I finished 40th. I finished 40th. How do you, how do you finish 40th?
Starting point is 00:59:39 I like, if I were playing this weekend, I got the money of the 40th player. Oh. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to finish 40th. Yeah. I'm a boy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Even on live. That's pretty good. Yeah. Pretty good. You got me a car, Brooks. Thank you. Yeah. All right, man.
Starting point is 00:59:59 Thanks so much. Anything you let me know. All right. See you, man. Have fun this week. It's pretty different. Okay. We now welcome on recurring guest in studio this time.
Starting point is 01:00:11 It is Anders home. He is promoting his new movie called about my father, which is he, he is, you're the headliner in that. Robert De Niro is below that. Robert. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:25 I know that. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:33 I know that's a question, but how was it working with Robert De Niro? Cause that is one of, there's a very few people I think in Hollywood that would, we have so much access to celebrities now, but there's like, it's Pacino, it's De Niro. Yeah. It's like maybe Jack Nixon, you're like, whoa, that's crazy. Yeah. Did you have that? Yeah, man.
Starting point is 01:00:52 I mean, here's was super duper fucked up is that this is my second time working with him. Okay. So I did a movie called the intern like five years ago with him. Great movie. Thank you. Yes. And so did Bob.
Starting point is 01:01:05 No joke. The like first day back, I was like, please remember me. Please remember me. And he was like, Hey, how you doing? Oh, been a while. And I was like, it has, I'm like crying. But no, like working with that dude and like, first of all, like right out the gate when I met him, arms open, hugger, and you're like, this is cool.
Starting point is 01:01:24 Yeah. You know, and he's fully, he's not like a huge personality, right? So that's kind of also disarming because a lot of people in that position can be like, this is my set. You kind of feel the vibe. He sets the tone in a way that's like, just chill, you know, it makes you feel at home and like you can do your thing. And then I quickly made it my set.
Starting point is 01:01:45 Yeah. Hell yeah. Exactly. Yeah. He's old news. Exactly. Your next stop. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:53 I was like, I kept being like, where's old news? Old news in his trailer. Oh, he's taking a nap again? Yeah. So when you first worked with him, were you, before you got a chance to meet him and see how kind of like low key and cool he was, were you intimidated? Were you like, I have to step my acting game up because I'm going to be in a scene with Robert DeNiro?
Starting point is 01:02:07 Yeah. Yeah. You say that, but then like it's futile, right? Like, what are you going to step your game up to, to his level? You got to cry. No, you're not. Yeah. And by the way, I did have to cry day one on the intern and my like story that I kind
Starting point is 01:02:22 of hate to share because it is kind of personal is like, I had a homie who just died. And I was like, that's, I'm going to, that's, if I'm going to cry, I'm going to, I'm going to use that. Right. And, uh, was like, like kind of offset, like right behind like something like getting ready to go in there and was like, this is fucking stupid. My friend would clown me for doing this. And then I was just like, yo, do you guys have the stuff you can blow in my eyes?
Starting point is 01:02:53 Real quick. Yeah. Let's do that and then roll. That it, would that be like very nice to do to your, you know, deceased friend or would it be like, Hey, you're using him for acting? No, he's like, it's like a fluffer. Exactly. He'd be like, what the fuck are you doing?
Starting point is 01:03:07 Dude? I'm fucking dead. Stop crying. Just so you can get your scene off. Yeah. I always wonder about that. Like how many actors tap into a real emotion in a scene like that? I also wonder, this is probably a stupider thing.
Starting point is 01:03:18 Like, have you ever died on screen? Uh, I don't, I don't think so. I was wondering how actors like, do you have to hold your breath for an extended period of time? Right. Yeah. I don't know, man. I will, though, when it happens.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Yeah. I'll think of you. Go method. And I'll go like, keep holding. Yeah. Keep rolling. Keep holding. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:43 I feel like to cry on command. I don't know. I don't think I could do it. I think I would probably just think of like my kids getting old. Yeah. Like something like that. Right. Like, uh, like a positive memory from my past and my parents like cheering it at swim meets
Starting point is 01:03:58 and shit that makes me, gets like the hairs in the back of my neck going and like, you know, you get emotional. Right. And so you can't tell. It's just, you start well enough with like that kind of emotion. Yeah. Nostalgia kind of stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:11 I would think of the national anthem. Oh yeah? Just like so patriotic. Of this country? Yeah. Oh cool. No, any national anthem. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:19 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or John Cena just talking about Hondas. Yeah. Yeah. Is that his brand? Or John Cena talking about his dead friends because we had an interview with him where
Starting point is 01:04:31 he did that to us and it got really awkward. Oh yeah? He was like, let's not joke guys. I know a guy that died recently. Uh-huh. And you were like, oh that's it. We're like, well actually. We'll be right back with more beef jerky commercials.
Starting point is 01:04:41 Fucking, let's talk to you about four hymns. Yeah. You have trouble getting hard, Cena. Yeah. John, actually they're, the majority of people are dead. Right. Yeah. They're a large margin.
Starting point is 01:04:51 And we can talk about that all day or we can fucking move on and talk about the draft and the Blackhawks getting that 17-year-old. Yes. Yes. Remember when John Cena, when he apologized to the entire nation of China in Mandarin because he called Taiwan a country? Yes. That was awesome.
Starting point is 01:05:07 He just dropped Mandarin on our faces. We're like, what? Look man, I'm sure John Cena's a good guy, but what the fuck are you doing man? Yeah. Yeah. Just keep it real. There's a bunch of people over there who will buy your shit and give you money, but you don't need them.
Starting point is 01:05:20 You're doing fine. Yeah. You'll be okay John. You're doing more than fine. Woof. So this movie though, it seemed like it was a lot of fun. Like it feels, especially you know, Sebastian being, it's his story with his dad. Was it one of the most fun experiences you've had?
Starting point is 01:05:36 Because you've done some very fun shit. Yeah. I mean like, look, excuse me, hungover. We were in Mobile, Alabama. Okay. It's kind of post COVID, so a lot of shit was closed down. So it wasn't like Offset was like the best experience, right? Even though Mobile's got good food and we had a good time.
Starting point is 01:05:55 I was there for two months, but on set, this dude like Brett Dyer, who played my younger brother in the movie, we had a great time. David Reishi, who was in Successionary Plays Carl, played my dad, dude is just lights out super funny, Sebastian super funny, and we just had like a good time. Yeah. She plays my mom in the movie. She's awesome. And we're all being these kind of like super duper honky caricatures, which is just fun.
Starting point is 01:06:26 That is fun. Yeah. Yeah. You mentioned swimming a second ago. Are swimmers, are they underrated athletes, do you think? No. I feel like they're freak athletes. Oh, I think you guys are.
Starting point is 01:06:36 No. Here, I'll tell you what it is. When you get to a certain level, like college, right? I swam for University of Wisconsin, where you went, and we might have been there at the same time. I think you graduated when my freshman year. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:50 But you heard about me? Of course, dude. Of course, that's actually why I went. Right, exactly. We'll get back to how legendary the swim team was at Wisconsin. But even at the collegiate level, where people are like top of the top, right? You still have two different kinds of athletes. You have athletes who probably could have done another sport that are super coordinated,
Starting point is 01:07:12 that just fell into swimming. And when we would play basketball, they'd be sick. Or if we'd fuck around in the field house and play Ultimate Frisbee, they could run lights out and make diving catches and shit like that. And then you have other people that just have an engine that they can turn on, they dive in the pool, turn it on, and just can go, right? Their heart is five times the normal size. But they can't jump, they can't run, they can't do anything but that.
Starting point is 01:07:40 Yeah. Those are CrossFit athletes. Yeah. If you throw them a ball, they can't catch it, but then they can lift, they can snatch it a thousand pounds. Right. And I kind of equate it to basketball, where it's like you've got your point guards that are like these freak athletes, but like rarely do you have a center or even sometimes a
Starting point is 01:07:56 forward who can like do super duper maneuvers, right? Yeah. So like, you know, we take all athletes. I feel like swimming, you're underselling it because swimming is that one thing that everyone did it, you know, as a kid and it's fun and pools are fun. And then if you ever try to be like, hey, I'm going to swim like four laps and they're like this fucking sucks. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:17 This is so much harder than running or anything. Yeah. No, it's tough. It's brutal. I mean, and you're doing because it's such a low impact sport, you can do it twice a day. Right. So like the conditioning is crazy.
Starting point is 01:08:30 When I got to college, I lost 10 pounds and I was like already like super skinny. I lost 10 pounds just upping the training, you know, and then I had to like try and get that muscle mass back. And I don't know if I ever got there. I think I always think of swimmers being freak athletes just because they have to wake up so early in the morning to go swimming. That's true. I was late almost every day.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Yeah. I would be too. You have to wake up sorely for swimming. It was like a problem. My coach is like, are you, what are you doing here? Do you want to be here? I'm like, I do trust me. I just, I'm not a morning guy.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Yeah. Yeah. Like what's the season for swimming? I don't even know that. It's winter, but it's super long. Right. It's as long as like hockey and basketball as far as training goes, but we don't have a zillion games like those guys.
Starting point is 01:09:14 I can't imagine going through that. And pretty much the best like moment of your swim career is probably when like randomly during like a game against Purdue, they let you go out on the field in the first quarter at Camp Randall. Dude. They're like, here's a swim team and everyone's like, oh shit. So I do. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:30 No, it kind of is. It is. I know exactly like they do that. Just roll out every sport throughout the season. That's your part. All right. You know, it's under five minutes in the first quarter. Here they are.
Starting point is 01:09:40 I took a recruiting trip to Kansas because I was thinking about going there and they took us out on the basketball court. That rules. And we were all wearing like breakaway pants and I hadn't, I wasn't even there yet. Right. And it was for like Rock, Shock, Jayhawk. They all sing that song at halftime and we like tore our pants off and we're in speed doves in front of like 20,000 people.
Starting point is 01:10:01 And I was like, dude, I'm going here. And then I went to Madison on a trip and I was like, nah, this is fucking next level. This might be a dumb question. It's also swimming related. But are there some pools that are faster than others? Yeah. How is a pool fast? So here's how pool pool is fast and it's, it comes down to like the depth of the water.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Right. If you have a shallow pool, it's not going to be as fast because if you make like waves and they bounce back up off the bottom of the pool at you, that just can slow you down. So you want it to be like at least six to eight feet deep. And then also the gutter system. If you're on the outside lane and you've got some like old gutters where the waves can bounce off of that and back at you. That's a bummer.
Starting point is 01:10:44 Everybody's pretty much at this point got like the wave eater lane lines that kind of dissipate the waves. But yeah. Yeah. And but you also joke about it. Yeah. You guys get ready to fast pool. Fast pool.
Starting point is 01:10:56 Yeah. Yeah. People joke about like there's a current in lane eight, you know, so just ride that shit. Yeah. So you and now you're doing triathlons. I mean, I did one. I did.
Starting point is 01:11:11 No, that means you, I mean that you're doing them because you were going to do another one. What? I'm going to do. Yeah. So I did the Malibu triathlon last year. So you're do, you are doing triathlons. I'm going to do it again this year because I want to make top 50.
Starting point is 01:11:27 That means you're doing you're doing triathlons as a hobby. You're punishing yourself. I'm doing this one. It's not that bad. No, you're I don't think you just do one triathlon. You keep doing sure. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:39 You have a bumper sticker on your car. You have a tattoo. Yeah. I got the like 70.3. I'm a half or whatever. Are you are you ever going to go to Ironman because Ironman is no, no, no, no, that's not that's psycho. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:49 No, that's different. My wife wants to do one. She's pretty hardcore. It's like a full marathon. Right. Yeah. Yeah. What's a triathlon?
Starting point is 01:11:57 It's I think it's a five K swim. So like 3.1 swim. And then it's whatever K 112 mile bike is. Okay. And then it's a marathon, which is 26.2 mile. Is there is there one event that's way easier than the others? What do you like? You mean one part is one discipline?
Starting point is 01:12:13 I would be like, I think I could do the biking. Yeah. Just pedal really hard and then go downhill. Yeah. I've ridden a bike for 112 miles, but it doesn't sound fun. The swim is always the easiest. It's the shortest distance by far for like what it is. Right.
Starting point is 01:12:30 But you also, if you're like a six swimmer, like my homie, my teammate, Jamie Burke from Wisconsin became a pro Ironman and he would kill it on the swim, but you only get ahead by like two minutes if you crash everybody. Whereas on a bike, you can get ahead by like 11 or 15 minutes. If you're a beast on the bike, you can make up all that time and then some exactly. So you're smart to stick with triathlon because that's significantly less like Ironman. Yeah. I just do the Olympic distance.
Starting point is 01:12:57 So what it's like, like a mile swim or something. It's a mile swim and then like 26 mile bike and then a 6.2 mile run. Oh, that's kind of easy. Yeah. That's not crazy. I could probably do that. Yeah. No problem.
Starting point is 01:13:12 Yeah. Sign up dude. By the way, they do a whole like celebrity one the day after, which is a little bit shorter. And they keep, they're like, they email me the other day, they're like, will you do the celebrity one? And I'm like, why would I do that when you guys the day before had the like the legit Olympic distance? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:28 Yeah. I kind of want to do it and just die. Yeah. That would be funny if I, if I died in the swim, but I told everyone like, I'm doing this and I'm not going to train. I'll be fine. Yeah. And then like one of the saddest, hilarious ways to die would be like, oh yeah, he wanted
Starting point is 01:13:41 to do a triathlon. He never trained and then he just sunk to the bottom of the ocean. You don't, I mean, look, you don't have to train for this. You just won't be fast. Right. I trained, I was in shape ish. And then I like turned up the training three weeks ahead when my buddy was like, yo, let's do this Malibu triathlon.
Starting point is 01:13:59 And I was like, okay. Yeah. Okay. Fine. I just, I jumped in the water and swam every day for three weeks and then like got on like the Peloton and did hour long rides three days a week and then did a little bit of running and did 110 K before I went out there. And then my buddy the night before was like, I test it for COVID.
Starting point is 01:14:18 I'm not going to be there. Oh, that sounds like, although that would be awesome if that was, if that was me and I could just tell people I'm training for a triathlon. And then the day before you get COVID and you're like, oh, fuck, I can't do this triathlon. So people who watch your stuff, who watch workaholics love you, there's obsessive fans, obviously, which feels great. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:39 But you also probably can mingle a little bit and not have like, you know, people paparazzi and shit. Yeah. I'm a, I'm a really good level, you know, I'm the level where I'll just be out my kids and someone will shout type butthole and my kids wonder what that means. Yeah. No, my nine year old, he's like, workaholics, I'm like, yeah, that's, yeah. Any like embarrassing thing he's like, is that from workaholics?
Starting point is 01:15:03 I'm like, mm-hmm. Yeah. Someday you shall understand. Yeah. You're going to watch it. Yeah. My four year old will always be like, people ask for a picture and I'll just be like, those are your friends.
Starting point is 01:15:11 And I'm like, yeah, kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're all my friends. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's a good level though.
Starting point is 01:15:20 Someday they are going to watch all these videos. Yeah, that's fine. I mean, my, the podcast I do with the guys, which is like the dumbest fucking thing in the world. I'm like, this, I kind of hope my kids don't listen to because they'll be like, oh, you're like a moron. Yeah. Like you really don't understand or know things at all.
Starting point is 01:15:35 But that's actually, that's the beauty of it because we're very similar where we don't know anything. Right. We're very successful with being really dumb and just admitting you're dumb. Yeah. If you say that you're dumb all the time, you can never actually be wrong. Right. This is true because you never put out the pretense of you being right.
Starting point is 01:15:52 Whereas if you're like, I don't know, who's a smart guy like Malcolm Gladwell or Nate Silver. Oh, you think he's smart? Well, he puts out like, you listen to this podcast because you know I'm smarter than you. Yeah. Yeah. So if he's ever wrong about like one small thing, everybody's like, this guy's totally
Starting point is 01:16:08 full of shit. Yeah. He's basically right about something that's equally as dumb. Right. They'll be like, holy shit, these guys are geniuses. Right. Yeah. Flip the paradigm.
Starting point is 01:16:17 And we're, Malcolm Gladwell is the perfect, we've said this before, but he's the perfect like, there's a lot of people who believe everything he says who are dumb people and then there are a lot of really smart people who are like, well, actually he's wrong for this, this and this. I'm right in the middle where it's like, I think sometimes he's full of shit, but I can't explain why. Right. Right.
Starting point is 01:16:35 Like I don't actually know how to refute an argument here. No, he is one of those guys who can articulate a point in a way that's super convincing and you just go, yeah, that makes sense. But like, you really got to listen to like the whole story. Wait a second. Wait. I don't really know why that's a whole. One time he said Steve Nash was Nigerian.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Right. And I was like, yeah, actually now that he said it, that makes a lot of sense. Right. And then you start questioning yourself. You're like, wait, is he Nigerian? Yeah. Actually no. He's from Canada.
Starting point is 01:17:01 He's white. He's a white. He's a white. You know what? Malcolm Gladwell has great smart people hair. That's what I think most of it is. You see that guy and you're like, that guy, he is so eccentric that I'm sure he's intelligent. It's the coffee shop look.
Starting point is 01:17:15 Like you see him at a coffee shop and you're like, he's got a lot of thoughts going on in his head. Right. Or you see me at a coffee shop and it's like, that guy needs some sleep. That guy's here for a lot of coffee. There's nothing going on in his brain right now. Yeah. No, I do love, you know what?
Starting point is 01:17:30 I do. Look, I'm sure he's a smart guy, but like the 10,000 hours thing, he's going to dine out on that forever because that is the thing where everyone goes, yeah, that's probably about what you need. Yeah. That's a lot of hours. People quote it now and like, it's become kind of just like, it's got a life of its own now.
Starting point is 01:17:48 Yeah. People don't know where it came from now. Yeah. He wrote a book and the premise was practice makes you good at things. Yeah. Everybody was like, fuck, that's so true. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:58 I'm glad someone finally said. When you think about it, he's right. Yeah. He had the other one where it was like when you're building a company, once you get past a certain level of employees, it's no longer like a small company, which is just a very, like of course, but when he puts it in his book in science behind you're like, oh, wow, this guy's a genius. Did he do Freakinomics?
Starting point is 01:18:15 That was someone else. That might have been from that. Yeah. I thought that was a book about like strippers handling like their business and finances. Yeah. It's like, this is how you get it. Girls. Yep.
Starting point is 01:18:27 Freakinomics by Cardi B. Freakinomics. Right. I mean, come on. So your career's been fantastic. I was listening to an interview you were doing, I don't know, it was like a few months ago, and you came around right at the perfect time for YouTube. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:42 Yeah. So do you think about that? Like, right time, right place, because there is a lot of luck involved. I mean, we're kind of the same way where it's like, if there was a hole in the podcast world that we were able to fill, if we came around six years later, probably wouldn't have worked. Right. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:59 It's a time and place thing. I feel like if you put in about 10,000 hours, no, but basically me and the dudes were doing our 10,000 hours. Me and the Workahawks guys, Blake, Adam, Kyle, we were doing live comedy. We were taping videos and putting them on our website. And then at one point, YouTube dropped and we were like, oh, cool. We don't have to bring people to us. We could put something out there for like anyone to click on.
Starting point is 01:19:24 This can be shared by people we don't even know. And by the way, we didn't even like go viral. Right. We never had like a like Donald Glover sketch group, Bro Rape, right? That video that was crazy off the wall out there. There were a bunch of people having like videos on the front page of the comedy page of YouTube, which was like the fucking Holy Grail. That was like our Johnny Carson, right?
Starting point is 01:19:48 Which is so sad. Right. But it also is true. But it is true. It is the thing that like the next day, everybody in their 20s at work would be passing around and being like, did you see this shit? So yeah, we piggybacked off that Comedy Central saw us through YouTube. And the rest is our history.
Starting point is 01:20:08 It was like the front page of YouTube comedy in the front page of Funny or Die. Yeah. It's like once you make the front page of Funny or Die. Yes. I remember I was in College Humor. College Humor. Yeah. I was in a group at the time and we got one thing on the front page of Funny or Die and
Starting point is 01:20:21 I was like, I'm a millionaire now and now we sit back and we wait for the offers to come in. And you guys, I guess somebody at Comedy Central saw you guys on YouTube. Yeah. Walter Newman. Slid into the DMs that you guys then ignored for a while. You didn't see the DMs come through, right? Dude, I mean, look, again, dumbest people, we just, we liked making content.
Starting point is 01:20:41 We were, I mean, Adam's pretty business savvy and like pretty, pretty quick thinking. But like, we're just, we were in our 20s and like, you know, just party and have a good time making videos and weren't super marketing savvy. It did sit there for a few months before we checked our messages and we saw that someone who could change our lives was begging us to meet them. But I think that that is probably a little bit lost in today's like internet and comedy scene and everything, whereas you guys were getting into it with, there wasn't like a big end goal of like, we got to do this, this and this to get to here.
Starting point is 01:21:16 It's like, let's, we're friends. Yeah. Let's make funny things. Yeah. And there's an authenticity about that that people get drawn to. Right. And I'll say like, you meet a lot of people in LA who are like, man, I'm here to do it. Right.
Starting point is 01:21:30 I'm really here to do it. But I just broke up my girlfriend. So I got to take like a month off, you know, or like, I do heroin. So I'm not going to make it to that rehearsal. And me and the guys, like we had a good time and like all that, but we definitely had like a schedule where like Tuesdays, we would get together after work, pitch ideas. We'd pick one. I'd go off and write it.
Starting point is 01:21:54 Thursday, we'd get together after reading the script and like tighten it and change it. And then we would film out on the weekends and to find people who were like, down to do that. Well, it's tough. And it's also like presenting as always having fun and not showing that side is actually kind of important. Like, you know, we'll be here till like two or three in the morning on a Sunday night.
Starting point is 01:22:15 But our job is fun and like people see the fun part, which is important because they don't want to see like, they don't want to hear someone complaining like, oh, I'm working so many hours writing comedy or doing a podcast. Yeah. 10,000 hours. Yeah. 10,000 hours. And then you also had, so the bang bus was your big break, right?
Starting point is 01:22:32 Which I, the bang bus was not, it wasn't a big break, but it was the one that got them because it was almost like they weren't on bang bus. No, no, no, no. Which would have been cool. No. But if you've ever seen a blurred out. No, we did a spoof on bang bus, which was like the greatest porno of the era where like these guys are picking up women and having sex in vans.
Starting point is 01:22:51 And then the part that like always kind of bum me out is when they're like, oh, is this where you are? We'll drop you off. And then they'd like leave them naked and laugh. And you're like, guys, come on. So our spoof was, I'm like, she just blew you. Like, what? Don't do this.
Starting point is 01:23:04 Yeah. Take her to a bus stop. Our spoof was three guys. We love bang bus. We're going to go pick up a girl and like screw her brains out in the van. And we pick up a girl cut to us hyper nervous to even speak to this woman. And she's like weirded out and we're like noticing like, oh, there's a new Sizzler as we drive by.
Starting point is 01:23:25 And then she gets out. And after she leaves, we're like, we almost had sex with this girl high five high five. And then everyone in the comments, it was an enraged people because they're like, are you fucking kidding me? I would have fucked that girl six ways from Sunday. And you're like, yeah, I'm sure you would from the comments of YouTube playboy. The early to mid 2000s was such a weird time for internet porn because it was all predicated on like maybe like the illusion that maybe it's real.
Starting point is 01:23:57 Like Rolf Hunter, right? It's like, no, this guy actually goes to supermarkets and then he goes to the fruit section. And then he just takes a chick home every day. He's living the life. But it also was a perfect time on the internet where like everyone, I mean, the internet was kind of built for like porn and people to be horny online. But there wasn't as many, you know, apps and only fans, all that stuff. So I bet you had a lot of people show up to that video being like, oh, this might, this
Starting point is 01:24:21 might be a bang bus for free 2000 percent, 2000 percent. You were a bait car for hard dicks. Yeah. I mean, we were, we were early on that click bait, man. But so yeah, that, that was a video that, that got the most clicks, but it also got the most hate. Right. And people didn't realize it was a cop.
Starting point is 01:24:39 Half the people didn't realize it was comedy. What is the fucking? Yeah. Where is the fucking? By the way, the fucking would have been funnier. That's us actually having sex. Is that how you do it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:52 Huh? Where's your dick? So that was the one that got you guys the most attention. You think that's one long pew. That's your penis. Oh, whoa. Weird. Do you think that's what that's what made Comedy Central be like, hey, I want to work
Starting point is 01:25:04 with these guys? No. We, so we did like a series that took place in an office and it was like pulling pranks on each other and that kind of thing. And then from that, they were like, oh, can you spin this into a show? And we were like, yeah. And they were like, here's 50 grand, shoot a couple like scenes. And I was like, guys, we should write an entire pilot.
Starting point is 01:25:26 I was like a writer. I was the writer guy. And I had already written a bunch of like pilots to, you know, as writing samples to get writing jobs and gotten one yet. But I'm like, let's write an entire pilot for $50,000. You might want to, that was a million dollars, right? We can shoot a pilot. And so we shot a pilot for 50 grand.
Starting point is 01:25:48 I think we didn't take any money or maybe we took like 1500 each just for like bills and that shit. But the rest went right into it and we shot essentially what is almost exactly the pilot that everyone else saw. We had to reshoot it because we had like Van Halen posters and like fucking make a little bit of ultra, right? And we had to like, you know, get rid of all that stuff. And like we use like the black keys, we had like music cues that like you can't pay for.
Starting point is 01:26:19 But then we reshot it and it's funny. I wish that somewhere both of those exist so people could see. We changed like, we did more improvising and the improv changed. But yeah, it was, it's cool. Do you still think that if you're like a young sketch comedy group that's trying to make it, do you think that LA is still the place to be for something like that? Or is it's become so decentralized now that you can do it anywhere you want? Well, I would say this, like what do you want to do?
Starting point is 01:26:46 Like what's the end game? Because now the end game can just be sketch comedy brought to you by like whatever dude wipes, whatever you want to advertise on your own thing. Whereas back in the day, it was like the idea of being a movie star was still a thing, right? Like Adam's like, I moved here. I want to be a movie star. You're like, great. And then you did it.
Starting point is 01:27:04 Right. I wanted to like write movies. I'm doing that. I think now people can be like, I want to be a famous Instagram, TikTok, whatever that is. And you can just start there. Right. Right.
Starting point is 01:27:19 You can go straight to the pros, essentially. Right. And try and rise to the rank. So it's different. I think it's fucking cool. I don't discredit anybody who wants that to be their career. I don't look like negatively on the go. It's a fucking TikTok or nose in like fucking scream seven or whatever.
Starting point is 01:27:37 I don't care. I was a YouTube guy. You just do what you got to do. Right. Do you ever miss like the climb up? And I know that's kind of a shitty question, but like, like there's definitely times where I think like, oh man, like remember when it was like, just this building of something that you never knew where it would go.
Starting point is 01:27:56 Yeah. Well, you guys are at the top of the game, right? You guys are at the top. You guys might be on the other side. Yeah. We might be going down the mountain. Every, I mean, if we're being honest, we're, I mean, we're both going to be 40 in a year. But what's dope is that like that's what the journey is because now like, I was like the
Starting point is 01:28:11 young blood working with like older people like Jack Black, Ben Stiller, they came, came on workaholics and you know, we're like, our minds are getting blown. Like we're working with Daniel Stern, right? Right. Then I'm like working with DeNiro and I mean, who are like a ton of amazing people who I've looked up to. I'm doing something with Kurt Russell that comes out later this year. And but now that I'm like 42 and I'm like getting up there myself and I'm working with
Starting point is 01:28:39 young bloods who are like, dude, I like grew up watching a workaholic. You go, oh, like this is a ride. This isn't like peeking and then over, it's up, it's down. Like look at Brian Cox on succession, right? Yeah. Supertroopers. Yeah. Supertroopers.
Starting point is 01:29:01 This dude was on Supertroopers and I'm not saying Supertroopers is below him or above him. It was a fucking super funny movie, but like it's a whole ride where like sometimes you're here, sometimes you're there and now he's on succession and he's the voice of McDonald's. Like, you know, I don't know that that won't happen to me in my seventies. Yeah. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:23 All I got to do is keep crying. And so this year I'm working with DeNiro again. Fucking crazy, right? I do, I got a show with the Muppets that comes out this week on Disney Plus. Hell, yes. I'm doing this Godzilla show. So like I'm still checking boxes of things that were like fixtures in my life. Right.
Starting point is 01:29:39 So like the climb, I'm still climbing, right? Like, like workaholics was a peak of a certain type of thing where I got to make a TV show with my friends that is absolutely my exact type of comedy because it came from our collective brain. It's super funny. Yep. I've been part of other comedies where I'm like, oh, this is funny. Is it exactly what I would do?
Starting point is 01:30:02 No, but like this is what people are going to fucking love more than Game Over, man. Right. Which people were like, you blew up a dog and I'm like, kind of funny. Yeah. Max. Max. But like, we'll get into it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:16 We just wanted to make the bad guy very bad, right? And what's worse than going back and back? Yeah, Max is the bad guy. Bad guy. Bad guy. Yeah. They've started this narrative that I hate dogs, which is like the worst narrative they've started about someone.
Starting point is 01:30:27 There's certain different kind of peaks and valleys, right? Where like, I'm still climbing. I'm still going up this ladder. I like that. If there was a dog that was sitting next to you on that couch that was just staring at you for this entire interview, just being like, pet me, pet me, please pet me. And you just ignored the dog the entire time. Would that make you a bad guy, a dog hater?
Starting point is 01:30:44 That's worse than blowing up a dog, actually. Yeah. Ignoring it. So look. It's slowly blowing up a dog. This is a long answer. It does. It does.
Starting point is 01:30:52 Okay. And guess what? I wouldn't touch that dog. What? In her twenties, suddenly became allergic to dogs or animals like hair, dand or whatever. And so I grew up obsessed with dogs. I had a dog die when I was like nine. My parents were like, I was like, we got to get another dog.
Starting point is 01:31:10 We get a new dog now. Right. And they're like, why don't you do research to see what the perfect dog would be. So for like a year, I'm going to like dog shows at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago. I'm fucking like, look at it all the best in breeds. And I decide an insane decision, which is that the Chinese Sharpey is going to be the dog we should get for our house.
Starting point is 01:31:31 Sharpey. Did you? Yeah. You can't seeds at home. Yeah. But I'm flying the bird at them. I wanted one so bad and a horrible dog to like the eyes and stuff, whatever. Skin infections.
Starting point is 01:31:44 And then my parents are like, we're not going to get a dog broke my heart, but I was obsessed with dogs. I know everything about all these breeds. I can like look at a mixed breed, know what it is. And so then my wife becomes allergic to dogs. And like to the point where if I pet a dog and I come home, she's like, were you around a dog today? Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:32:05 And I got to like hop in the shower. So now I don't touch dogs. I fucking put my foot out. If they come near me and I just go, whoosh, and people are like, whoa, and I go, wife's allergic, can't deal with it. Yeah. Get it, get it away from me. And now I'm like anti-dog.
Starting point is 01:32:21 Oh, so you and Max got a lot of, you know, something to bond over. Some with you. My homie had a dog, shout out to Chauncey, RIP, who I loved. And I used to feed like drunkenly feed french fries, like from my mouth, you know, to a pit bull. Not the smartest thing in the world. But that was the last dog that I like would wrestle. You know, and now I'm just like karate kicking them.
Starting point is 01:32:43 Yeah. I guess that means you're such a good guy that you've become a bad guy because you're just trying to take care of your wife. Sometimes you live long enough to become the villain. Yeah. That's a fact. For sure. All right.
Starting point is 01:32:54 So I have one last question. This has been awesome. Roback question. R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com. Use code TAKE for 20% off your first purchase. Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, all of it, roback.com, 20% off. Okay. So this movie comes out May 26th.
Starting point is 01:33:11 Would you say? May 26th or 27th? 26th is Friday. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. I don't know. May 26th about my father comes out.
Starting point is 01:33:19 I've been definitely tweeting and posting 27. Yeah. Yeah. So see it May 27th and maybe you get like, you're like, wow, why did it spike on May 27th? Yeah. Yeah. Be sure and see it last.
Starting point is 01:33:34 Sorry. Sorry to interrupt. I'm a fucking moron. Are you a movie star? Good question. No. Will you be a movie star? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:33:43 That's up to Jesus Christ. No, that's up. I don't know. To star in a movie, I think you have to be a movie star, right? Like number one on the call sheet, right? Yeah. But do you think, is that an aspiration of yours? It's not an aspiration, but if there is a project that is super cool that I get to
Starting point is 01:34:04 be part of, that would be special. That'd be fun and cool. But I'm not a, I didn't move out here and get into this to become like an Adam Sandler or like a Ben Stiller in that regard. Jimmy Taitro. I love Jimmy. Well, he's our guy and we bought a lot of stock in him like five years ago. Oh, like the celeb stock kind of thing?
Starting point is 01:34:24 No, no, just like becoming friends with him. He's going to be an A-list. I do have a story about Jimmy, but no, if that happens, that'd be cool, but I'm not chasing that. I want to, I came out there to be someone who's part of in any way, whether it's writing, acting, directing at some point, making something that's like a cultural touchstone. Yeah. And that's the thing that everyone goes, dude, I watched that movie a hundred times.
Starting point is 01:34:46 And with Warholics, I think I did that. So I am still chasing like doing it again. That's, I mean, that's, you have great perspective because there, I think there is, like you, you would obviously, if someone was like, Hey, we want you to be the main guy in this movie, you wouldn't say no, but also knowing like what you like to do and not, because if your aspiration is to be an A-list movie star, there's only a few of those. I don't want to, I don't want to be, if someone, if my agents called me and were like, Hey, they want you to, and actually I have said no, to being the star of like a movie where
Starting point is 01:35:19 I read it. And I was just like, this ain't it, whether it was me or anybody else, Jimmy, whoever, like this movie is not going to be the one that makes everybody go, fuck, dude, you've got to watch this movie. It's so good. Right. But yeah, if that came along, it would come along. And a quick Jimmy story is he is on home economics, right?
Starting point is 01:35:41 I got a call from my manager that's like, Hey, there's a pilot. They really like you. They're out to a guy named Jimmy Tatro right now. I go, Oh, I know him. If he passes on it, they're going to offer it to you. So like get ready. And I was like, Oh, okay. I read the script.
Starting point is 01:35:56 I'm like, fuck, this is good. And I would have played like Topher Grace's brother, Topher's on workaholics. I really like him. He was like to play this kind of douchey millionaire brother who's got everything and the whole home economics is like the families, everybody's different levels of finances and all that. And I'm like, okay, well, fuck, I hope he passes. I get a DM from Jimmy who I kind of know and he goes, dude, Hey man, Hey, I just got offered this part.
Starting point is 01:36:29 Should I do this? I kind of don't want to be tied down to TV. And I hope he's cool with me saying this. I don't want to be tied down to this show, but it's really good. I think it could be fun. And I was like, yo, full disclosure. I go call me and I hit him up. I go full disclosure.
Starting point is 01:36:47 If you pass on this, someone just called me and said they're going to offer it to me. I think you should pass on it because I'm keeping it real. Not because I want it. And it would have been a great gig for me, but because I think that you are a movie star and I think that this will tie you down and you won't have the freedom to do all these things that I think will be banging down your door for you to do. And look, you could do the show and I think you'll fucking kill it. You'll be great, but you'll also be playing a father.
Starting point is 01:37:22 You're kind of young. I wouldn't necessarily do that. I'm 10 years older than you. I think I'm at the point where I'd be like, yeah, I'll have some kids in the show. You might get viewed as being older than you are. I don't know if you want to jump ahead because you can play 10 years younger forever. Like look at Adam Sandler in my buddy Kyle, Kyle Niewiczek's movie Mortar Mystery. He plays like a guy with his wife, like as if they're like a brand new couple in New
Starting point is 01:37:52 York City. You're 50 something years old. That's like the role of a 28 year old. But 30 years later, we're still allowing these kind of, because we're like, yeah, we like Adam Sandler. We want to see him doing the thing that we do in our 20s. But I was like, you don't need a handcuff yourself to like having kids yet. And he was like, okay, cool, like, thanks.
Starting point is 01:38:10 I'll think about it. And he took the job and hindsight, you know, he's probably making a ton of dough. He wasn't tied down the whole year and it might have opened up new doors. But yeah, I was like, I go, I've seen you and stuff. Yeah. You did a really good job. I'm not a movie star. I think this is where I end up.
Starting point is 01:38:30 I don't think you end up here. But like, I don't know if it was the right decision or wrong decision. He's a killer. He's super funny. So it doesn't matter. Yeah. And it's a good show. It's very good show.
Starting point is 01:38:42 Yeah. I mean, I don't want you to do more of it. So. Yeah, at least one. Yeah. Yeah. Multiple Teslas. Cool.
Starting point is 01:38:50 He's got it. But he lost all his bees. He's still pretty broken up about that. So fucking Hollywood. Yeah. I got now I'm like, now I don't like him. Well, these are my bees. Everyone check out the movie May 26 or 27th, whichever you want.
Starting point is 01:39:06 No one. June 8th. Yeah. Check out how to be my father. That's not the name of the movie about my father. Go check it out. We got a screener. It's very, very funny.
Starting point is 01:39:18 Dude, it's fun. Oh, you guys saw it? Yes. Okay, cool. Sebastian Manuscalco, Robin De Niro, Kim Ketral, David Raichu plays Carl in succession, Brett Dyer, who steals the movie, super funny, plays my brother, Leslie Bibb, unbelievable. It's a funny fucking movie. You can take your parents.
Starting point is 01:39:38 You could take your kids. It's that kind of movie. Italians should go. Italians. You might have heard of the movie. Yeah. And by the way, it's not soft. It's a hard comedy.
Starting point is 01:39:49 It's funny jokes, funny set pieces. Get out there on Christmas Day. I like that. Make sure every Italian in America knows. Yes. All Italians. Yeah. If you have, yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:04 If you're Italian. Story about Italians. We're going to revoke your Italian card here. You don't see the movie. Yeah. You got to go see the movie. Should I have done that? No, that was funny.
Starting point is 01:40:12 Is that okay? That's fine. I'm an Italian father, so I'm allowing that. There it is. I'm not Italian. I'm one person. Italian father, like a priest? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:20 I'm not. Yeah. So I'm allowed to say that. And by the way, we didn't even touch on Madison at all, really. Yeah. But what a good time. Favorite bar? The Red Shed.
Starting point is 01:40:28 Okay. Yeah. I was going to say the Plaza for me. Plaza's great. Plaza's great. I mean, the Bubble Hockey. Yeah. I think they still have the Bubble Hockey.
Starting point is 01:40:36 Yeah. We used to go. We used to walk down for $2, I think it was Tuesday nights, or maybe Thursday nights. $2 Long Island ice tees, and it was just the worst liquor, and you just get bombed. That's such a bad idea. Shout out to the Red Shed. Yeah. They really got bought by Wando's.
Starting point is 01:40:50 Okay. I know Wando is great too. And so now they're getting squeezed out. Oh, okay. Well, I'll tell Wando to stop. So Wando, please chill. Yeah. Look, you got a seven-story bar.
Starting point is 01:40:59 Yeah. You drive the biggest cars in Madison. He's a mover and shaker. And we love you. Yeah. Like keep the Red Shed alive as like a funny, cute kind of like relic. But Wando, he needs to do it so he can start paying it NIL money. Okay.
Starting point is 01:41:14 He'll hit me up every now and then. Be like, we got to figure out this NIL money. We want me to do. Yeah. You're like, I do a podcast. You're a thriving businessman. Listen, I hit up. I mean, Cale Williams, the guy who just won the Heisman, I did DM him when he was thinking
Starting point is 01:41:28 about going to Wisconsin. I was like, we could make some sick t-shirts on the Barstool Sports Store. Yeah. Didn't work. Fuck. That wasn't my proudest moment, but whatever. Yeah. Hitting up an 18-year-old being like, dude, let's do this.
Starting point is 01:41:40 Yeah. I also always send people to Mondays whenever they ask for it. Stiffest drinks. Ever. That's the best place to start a night. Get two drinks at Mondays and you're set to go. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 01:41:51 All right. Well, Anders, thanks so much, man. We appreciate it as always. Always welcome on the show and go see about my father. No one knows when it's coming out. Yeah. Okay. Let's wrap up the show.
