It is playoffs playoffs playoffs playoffs coming out of our ears playoffs coming out of our eyes so much

playoff action balls deep in sports, baby. We've got some teams going home. We've got some teams teams advancing. We've got the Boston Celtics doing exactly what we all thought that they would do, but yeah, it's been. It's been a wild couple nights not enough TVs in do. But yeah, it's been a wild couple nights. Not enough TVs in my house. Yeah, it has been a wild coming eight games on Tuesday night with some close out games. It was crazy. As always with the playoffs, we are in zoom for the beginning because we

want to recap all the games. We are back in studio when we interview Christian yellow John Summit when we do hot seat cool throne. Let's start. So we have to recap Monday's games too, but I feel like we got to start with Bucks Pacers because that was one of the craziest endings. The Bucks. Maybe if you're a Bucks fan, this is the last time you see Yanis in a Bucks Jersey, which sucks. And he went out on his sword with an incredible performance 30 20 in 13. But the story was the collapse of the box in the last

36 seconds. They were up 118 111 with 36 seconds left and it all fell apart. And we basically had Gary Trent Jr. who had an incredible game three with we basically had Gary Trent Jr. who had an incredible game three with thirty seven points. Gary Trent Jr. is let me say this. Yannis was the best player on the box. Gary Trent Jr. was the most impactful player on the box because both good and bad. He had the entire Gary Trent Jr.

Experience. He started the game over seven. He then went eight for nine and he hit four straight threes in overtime, four straight threes and then turn the ball over two times to basically let the Pacers have an incredible comeback and clinch this series and go on to the next round. Yeah, he had a great overtime and also he cost his team the game at the end. There's no two ways about it. Halliburton also had some very clutch plays at the end of regulation and at the end of overtime. But Gary Trent Jr. he is the ultimate example. Now I think that we can point out to a guy that has changed so much about himself that he's trying to make everybody forget that he's from Duke. Yeah. So he, he got, he got all the tattoos, got different hair. He's even wearing the glasses like he's in witness protection program. He's like, no, it must be it must be to Gary Trent jr's cuz that's that's not me. But yeah it was it was a crazy overtime for him. And then do we want to talk about Halliburton's dad. Yeah of course. But wait hold on. I want to say the overtime. Yeah like the Pacers that this was a game. Well it was the weird NBA. I feel like they do this once a year where they throw in this game. It started at 5 p.m. Central time, 6 p.m. Eastern. So

it's like one of those games. If you weren't just if you're not a fan of one of these teams are like super clued in. You could easily just like, oh shit, this games in the first quarter already. And the Pacers were getting killed for the for the first quarter and a half. I think they were down 11 and oh like before you can even blink and they fought all the way back. The Pacers are so much fun to watch. They just have guys that that make big shots and Tyrese Halliburton basically Tyrese Halliburton and Gary Trent jr. Did like a freaky Friday in overtime where Tyrese Halliburton hit his first three and then he's like, all right, it's Tyrese Halliburton time and he started breaking threes

while Gary Trent Jr. Hit everything and then Gary Trent Jr. Just couldn't hold on to the ball, turn it over twice and then Tyrese Halliburton came back and was like, I'm just going to drive to the rim, including the game winner on Yanis. And it was a pretty sad way for Yanis to go out. It was sad though. It was a great play by Halliburton though. Oh, it was a great move and all the credit in the world to him. And then after the game when when they asked Janice, they asked him a bunch of questions and he did a good job, I think at the podium, but

they did ask him like, is this the last time that you'll be wearing a Bucks uniform? And he answered it in a way that's like, I don't really want to talk about that, but it's pretty clear that this is probably the end of the road. And I heard people talking about Yannis to the Thunder. That would that might ruin the NBA. If you ask, goes to the Thunder next year, they would have to trade players because the bucks don't own any of their own picks for the foreseeable future. So they're in a weird situation where they can't really tank. Because like if they trade Janus for picks, you're now you have to hope that the other teams stink,

but they have Janus, so they're probably not going to stink. So the belief is they're only going to do a trade where they can get a couple players back. So the Thunder would have to trade some players, but yes, it would be scary to have the thunder have Yannis with the thunder. How would they be able to trade picks that belonged originally to other teams? Yeah, but I'm saying like, I think they have a shitload of other teams. So it wouldn't just be like banking on nailing the, uh, the 30th overall pick for sure. But I think they're going to want some players too. Like I, I feel like that's the bucks are kind of stuck in a spot where it doesn't help for them to just be bad because they can't, they can't fully tank. You know? Yeah. I feel, I feel bad for Yannis. Yes. But I'm also glad that he got his title because if he didn't have the title, then wherever he ends up going, you people would be like, Oh, you couldn't get it done. Your ring chasing have to join a super team. So it's good that is good for everybody involved that he was able to do it kind of on his own in Milwaukee. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I mean, that's like, if he didn't have a title,

it would be a totally different story and feel different. Um, but yeah, this, I don't, I feel like it's a foregone conclusion. He's gone. Maybe there's a shocker and he's like, I'm just going to be a one. Like this is the fork in the road that if Yana stays with the Bucks this summer, he's just going to be a buck forever. Wouldn't you agree? Like this is the, this is the perfect, this is the perfect exit point for him where I don't even think Bucks fans would be. They won't even be like, Oh man, I can't believe he's leaving us. Like no, the team is not good. We don't know our picks and Dame is out for a year. Yeah, he should go somewhere else. So it's like it's almost perfectly set up

for him to exit and not have hard feelings. And so if he does not exit, I feel like he's just going to be a buck forever. Nico, you have the opportunity of a lifetime to make everything okay. Yeah. So after the game, it wouldn't be a bucks pacer series if there wasn't something crazy that happened after the game. Our good friend, Pat Bev, obviously last year, uh, the ending of that series, they've had weird things happen in the regular season as well. We had multiple skirmishes, uh, Tyrese Halliburton's dad comes on the court, uh, starts yelling at Yanis. Yanis then gives

him maybe the most intimidating stare down of all time where he was, his head was like Yannis. His eyes were basically at the top of Tyrese Halberton's dad's, like the top of his head. Uh, and I got to say something, PFT, I'm kind of bummed out that, uh, all sides like squashed it before we could even get mad. Yeah, I wish Yandis wasn't so mature. I wish he didn't have so much perspective because it would have been it would have been a very entertaining fight. And what Yandis did before the

top of the head stare down was equally as intimidating where he just stood there very calmly, just staring him in the eyes, figuring out what he wanted to do, figuring out what the next step was. And he's like, well, I could swing on him. I could walk away. No, I think I'm going to walk over to him and try to look down at his brain through the top of his skull. Yeah, I'm going to eat him. I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to eat Terry's Halbert and sad, but it's not even Yonis. Cause Yonis I expected Yonis is like one of the classiest guys.

I don't know who dislikes Yonis. Like every answer he gives other than the one time when he was like, it's not a disappointment, but like he's just he is one of those guys that it feels like he's genuine and he also has really good perspective. Tyrese Halberton kind of ruined it though because he said afterwards he was like, yeah, my dad is a fucking like he shouldn't have done that and we got to talk to him and I got to go apologize to Yannis. I was hoping that we'd have a little beef here because I wanted to be like, hey, Tyrese Halliburton, your dad's a fucking piece of shit. He shouldn't have been on the court, but I can't even do that because every side was like it was, it was a fair like Yanis basically accepted an apology and Tyrese Halliburton admitted that they were a hundred percent in the wrong. Okay. So, um, this might sound confusing and contradictory, but Tyrese Halliburton is correct. His dad wasn't the wrong. However, I would have liked for Tyrese Halliburton to have his dad's back. Right. That's what I'm saying. Like I, I, I, I would have, I wanted to get mad at Tyrese Halliburton for saying like, no, my dad's allowed to be there. They just robbed us of, uh, false

anger, which is really all we, all we want is sports fans. It's like, we just want to be angry about something, but like not having your dad's back when he's got the biggest stage ever. That's worse than forgetting his birthday. Can I, that is, yeah. Can I say something too about Tyrese? How her Halliburton's dad? Um, he's a ref kind of crazy. And he's kind of crazy. You got to kind of, you might have to strip him of his stripes. Yeah. Eagle maniac. That's all refs. Yeah, that's true. That's a good point, Hank. But then we had also, uh, uh, Yannis verse, uh, the Thurin, which was hilarious clip because they started hugging and then something was said and they just ended up shoving. Uh, and then everyone got into it.

And then the best clip of the whole, of the whole exchange, everything that happened was while everyone's fighting and there's all this chaos, Brooke Lopez, dapping up a boomer, the Pacers mascot, just ultimate respect. I don't know if you saw that clip. It was so funny. It was just nuts. Everything's happening and he's just like, yeah, you know what? Good fucking series boomer. You laid it all out there. I love brock Lopez. Yeah. Just two competitors that put it all on the line, showing mutual respect. Hockey would never, they would never in a series like that with a handshake. No, no. But it was, I mean, the Pacers are really are good. I don't know if they

could beat the calves. I think the calves are probably gonna beat him, but I think the paces are gonna give him a hell of a series because they just have so many dudes that can make shots. They always they just take good shots too. It feels like they pass the ball well. They play up tempo. Hal Burton is kind of taking that like next little step and I what are your thoughts on Halbert because I feel like there's a lot of people that really hate him and I want to. But I also think he might just

be like a very well adjusted dude who's happy all the time. And that bothers people. Yeah, listen, he's a little bit corny, but as a guy who's also a little bit corny, like I think I'm allowed to say that about him. He's also like supremely talented. There's no doubt about that. But he's you get the feeling just looking at him that you could talk shit and not get your ass kicked by him. So that's why I think people talk. They take they take a lot of liberty with that. That makes sense because I want to leave voted the most overrated to that. That's what I try and figure out. Like what what do other players in the league think about him is so overrated. I think it's because he's goofy. Well, he also passes the ball a lot. He gets a lot of assists. I I feel like the goofiness. I don't know. You need a goofy guy every now and then. Like I my initial inclination is like, I don't think I like this guy. And then the more I see him, like, why do I not like this guy? He's just he's kind of just having

fun out there. He's fucking not winning though. If he was like winning, well, I'm winning more people would hate him, but it's like, yeah, you know, wins the first round. Oh, he's not a threat. Yeah, got it. It is true that if he was an NBA champion, everybody would absolutely hate his guts. Yeah. Yeah, I was impressed with it. I wish the Pacers would stop wearing the Miami Heat jerseys. I was impressed with it. I wish the Pacers would stop wearing the Miami Heat jerseys. Um, I'll stick on that. Take. We had so many alternate jerseys tonight, but

yeah, the, the Gary Trent jr. Just, I mean, that's how I feel like that's how Yonis can, can like exit stage left from Milwaukee. Just being like, did you see Gary Trent jr. And what's going to happen with Doc? Is Doc going to just keep getting another job that and also the I feel like the Kyle Kuzma trade is should have been like that's enough. That's enough to be like I'm out like that. That that is one of the worst trades of all time. Yeah. And Dave getting hurt. Also, let's give credit to Doc Rivers,

though he had a 10 point lead in the fourth quarter. He did. He had a seven point lead with 36 seconds left. That was such an insane ending. Come back. I legit walked out of the room and came back. I was like, what the fuck happened? It was crazy. I mean, it was just how the fourth three pointer. I was like ball game. Yeah. Gary Trent jr. Couldn't miss for that for that 90 seconds. He was insane and it was Hal Burton having those two drives and Nemheart hitting like way downtown three.

Uh, it was crazy. The patients didn't give up. They, they were, they felt like they were dead multiple times in this game. And that's the, that's the only part that if you're a bucks fan, I mean, obviously the whole Yanis thing bums you out and the way you lost this game bums you out. But it would have been nice if Yanis could have finished his Bucks career win or lose with one last home game. You know? Yeah, it was nice.

It was nice to see Yanis at the podium though. Another All-Star speech by him. Yeah, he's so good at those into the year wrap up things. But yes, it was nice that the Pacers came back. They showed a lot of grit determination. They got to go players. They play an entertaining style of basketball, but there's they're not taking more than one game off the Celtics. The Caesar just playing the Cavs next when they get to the Celtic might

not take. So you have them beating the Cavs or you have them. I'm saying if they were to play the Celtics, no team out. No team out of the East. Do you think they're going to beat the Cavs because that's the only way they can play the Celtics. I do not and truth be told, I forgot that they weren't playing the Celtics the next round. I was just trying to **** with Hank. It's got you up blinded by it for a minute. Yeah, I'm going to say Cavs and six. Cavs are really good. I respect the hell out of the Cavs. Yeah, I'm going to say calves and six. Cows are really good.

I think I respect the hell out of the cabs. Yeah, I'm gonna say calves and four in four. Yeah, this cabs team is fucking legit. Oh, here he goes. Here he goes. I think calves and in five. Do you want to do the eliminated teams real quick? The calves, the calves beat the heat by a billion. That was that was crazy. that was I mean like the I

know that it's get rid of the playoff game playing game both of the both of the both of the teams I played two playing games yeah listen I I hate the playing game would the Hawks have fared better against Cavs no they're just not the seventh and eighth like the eighth seed was just gonna be bad, you know Yeah, like this was exceptionally bad as far as NBA playoffs series goes 122 points series win when you had that's the that's the most lopsided series of all time in the history of the NBA playoffs we also had it was the since 2000 when they were they've been tracking it. It was the largest double up of a home

Playoff team when the Cavs were up 96 to 48 So there's a double up score. Yeah, the other two the other two were the Cavs Celtics 2017 88 44 and the Bulls Bucks Bulls 88 44 in 2015, but that's a 96 48 double up. That game was never even. It was just nothing. It was just the heat or just so so ready to go and get out of there. They had one game where I feel like they they gave the Cavs a good fight and then everything else was just blah.

Yeah, it was. It was pretty ugly double win for Jimmy Butler. Yeah, yeah. He culture might be dead. It might have just been Jimmy. It might have been Jimmy. But yeah, the Cavs are really good. I can't wait for the Cavs to start playing some real playoff games because this wasn't a real. It's kind of like the thunder both one seeds. That was just that was just basically a practice that they had to go through in the first round because they're just so much better than the eight seats. Um, Hank, your

Celtics have advanced. You feel good about it. I felt great about it. First, first win all series. I felt easy. Uh, the magic put up a good fight. They got some very, very good. Well, they have two really, really good players. The rest of the rest of the team is garbage, but still impressive from them. But I'm excited to get going with the rest of the playoffs. Yeah, that was classy of you. Hang there. Very classy.

They got two good players. The rest of them suck. It was impressive how well they were able to play with such a shitty team. That's not that's what you said. Everything you said was right. No, that's not like that is a compliment. Like that's like they played hard with bad players, two really good players and a bunch of like plumbers. Yeah. Well, I mean, this game was just proves like Hank's point because it was a 53353 game and Powell got his fifth foul and had to go out and then it was an 8362 game. Yeah. And it was just like, Oh, yep, that's it. It's it's over. So that that's just what happened. Like they you can't have power go

out for it was I think it was like nine and a half minutes. That's you. The magic are terrible without him on the floor. Yeah, you just need him to dominate every single game that he plays and you might have a chance to take a couple. Yeah, Tatum looked good. Hank. It looked really good. Everyone looked good. You know, the some of the some of the side guys that were struggling early in the year early in their series with threes. How's earn

poor Zingas? They were they played well. Okay, I'm ready. I'm ready. So Going to the next series because you you you get to rest now next pistons gets to go to game six and the Pistons There you I mean the Pistons have kind of Dominated the Knicks in this series Like they should they could have won game one. They got they got screwed in game Choked game one and they got screwed it. They could have won game one. They got they got screwed in game. They choked game one and they got screwed

it. They basically won game four and this game was I mean, Kate Cunningham is so so good. Azur Thompson was he did you see had he had 22 points. He had seven dunks. He was just it the perfect place for the entire game and he just kept on talking and then Tobias Harris is good. I like Tobias Harris is a stud. It's crazy. It's crazy.

Max Tobias Harris is good. Tobias Harris is a pussy. He's good. The amount of people that are pussies that can't play in Philadelphia is disgusting. I wonder why. After you say that last year, what you celebrate, what you're saying, like, the biggest,

the biggest bonus about losing in the playoffs was that you no longer have to pay to buy his hairs? He sucked for his entirety of his time in Philadelphia. No. Never once did he show up for the Sixer. Don't give me that face, Hank. You know anything about what I'm talking about? He was horrendous. And the fact that he just joined the lowly fucking pistons and

now all of a sudden he's good at whatever. Pistons are during the playoffs. Max. Correct. But they're playing well. Like this is a joy. This is a young team that just went to Madison square garden and won an elimination game with their back against the wall. Like how can you not be impressed with the Pistons have done this series and this season? When I say low, I mean like the pressure, it's a lowly pressure city. What? I don't fucking know. Okay. But yeah, I'm like the piss. The piss. Five year 180 million contract is so funny for who? For 1076 years contract to buy his heirs. Yeah, he got another big contract in Detroit. Wasn't wasn't he? I

could see why. Was he the next LeBron by someone? Didn't someone say he was the next LeBron? Oh, I need to find that take. I'm pretty sure someone like when he was in high school, I was like, dude, this guy is he's the next LeBron. Baby, can you find it for me? I'm trying. I'm trying. See it. I might've made that up, but it's kind of a funny. He's a perfect guy to be dubbed the next LeBron when he was like 17 years old to buy his airs. Uh, but yeah, the pistons are good. Like they, they, they could be easily up three, two in this series.

The TNT graphic wants the next to win so bad. They, they put four one after the game that the, the, the Knicks won the series. It was crazy. You did. You did. You'll never guess in a million years who said it. Oh, was it a they were at the beer Olympics. They were at the bureau. Yeah. This person was at the beer Olympics. Uh huh. And so are they involved

in basketball? They're on. They're a recurring guest of the show. They suck at rock. the other day. J. J. Who was it? Waka Flaka flame. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, because he's a long isn't twice hairs from Long Island. It's yeah, like a flame. I played him. Yeah, we used to play in high school. Holy shit. It was walker from everybody. His two brothers are walking. Walk us from LA. That's what I thought. And he said that Tobias Harris was the next LeBron. It was in a, it was in a tweet. Yeah. I love it. All right. So I did. My memory is correct.

It's not a full take, but it is hilarious that someone at one point was like next LeBron to buy his hair. Um, yeah, he was like, I think Kate Cunningham is he's a star. This is like, this is, I love the playoffs because you get guys like getting to that next level that elevating their level. And Kate Cunningham has this is first playoffs has completely elevated his next level. The big story though from this game. And I, I don't know if you guys, which side you're on, because you could, I guess you could make an argument one way or the other. Uh, Tibbs.

Yep. At the end of the game, uh, Josh Hart gets hurt. He had to go to the locker room, Jalen Brunson turns his ankle. He had to come out Tibbs. Uh, the game is 97, 95 when both those go, when Brunson goes out with 257 left, they get to the score's table with like two and some change left and I think they were down for the time and tips has one time out left and he sits there and he waits for stoppage in play for a minute and a half and jail and Brunson and Josh Hart are

not on the court and he finally calls his last time out with 27 seconds left and Gets them back in the game and the Knicks are down six. I don't know what the fuck that was Well, you got to make up your mind Do you want do you want tips to play starters too much and tire them out? Are are is it okay if you rest them for a little bit? That's tips counts the two minutes standing at the scores table is part of your break. It was like, yeah, you'll be rested when

you get back in there. It was very strange. If your tips, you have to know when you when you send them to go in, you have to know how long you're willing to wait out before you call that time out. I think if you had asked him that before he sent them to go check in, his answer would not have been until 27 seconds left of the game. Right. And it was just wild to watch because they, the, the camera just kept on panning to Brunson and Hart standing there watching, uh, waiting for a stoppage in play.

And I, I think it's crazy. I think Tibbs is an idiot. He should have called the timeout. He did get kind of screwed by like a weird set of circumstances that the Knicks were in the bone or the, the, I think the pizzas were in the bonus. He couldn't foul. He had to burn a timeout with Josh Hart getting hurt, which is kind of stupid when a guy's on the floor that you have to burn a timeout and you kind of want to save your time out. If you get in a situation where you have to advance the ball to half court late in the game, but still you have to fucking get those guys in the game. You can't let the you can't let a minute and a half go by with both those guys standing and

watching at the score's table. He also got screwed by the court too. Jalen Brunson when he when he hurt his leg. I don't know. I'm not an I'm not an MSG expert. That's probably memes or actually Max. You guys are both I guess different kinds of MSG experts, but memes from Madison Square Garden, uh, the court that they have there. Sorry, Max. Uh, the court I've always heard people say it's like a trampoline. Like, like it's known that it's a little bit more bendy than other courts.

Is that just because of the hockey arena underneath the ice underneath or what's going on? Uh, it's possible. He just seems to hurt that right leg every single game. Does he need to wear high tops? I think he might. It's just every single game. It just all the court. Did you see the request?

Yeah, well, it was, it was, it was like a member Armando Baycott in the final four when like the floor panel just like gave out on them. Yeah, it was crazy. You could see it bend all around. And when I say I don't mean it's like actually like a trampoline during games, but I've heard people say that it's got more bounce to it than other courts do. Yeah. I don't know. Should we go to our other MSG expert? Max Hanks still trying to figure out that joke. I know his eyes were darting back and forth. MSG is in Chinese food.

It's the. You don't know what MSG is. Frank puts it on everything. Yeah, I'll take a sauce. No, it's like it's like a artificial like flavoring flavor enhancer. Yeah. And Max really good. Really good joke. You have to explain it 10 minutes later to Hank. Explain

it. That's a pretty good segment. Segment. Explain it. Pretty good counterpoint. Pretty good counterpoint. Yeah, I don't know if this is an old man take, but when I saw Brunson's ankle do that, I was like, dude, fucking get some high tops on and lace those things tight. I've actually heard that high tops make you more likely to sprain your ankle if you wear them all the time, because if you don't wear high tops, then all the muscles in your lower leg, the small ones get

stronger and they provide more support. You just sound like you've been paid off by low cut shoes. No, I looked this up a couple years ago. There's a study that was done on it to see the incidence of ankle injuries. Yeah. Those are definitely the people that just walk around barefoot all the time.

It might have been, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't think any guys really wear high tops. So I understand it's probably also harder to cut and move laterally in high tops for a guy like Jalen Brunson. So, but I still was like, man, get some high tops on bro. Place those things up.

But yeah, I don't know what Tibbs was doing. Uh, this series has been fun. Maybe not the best basketball, but it's been fun and I'm excited to watch game six and I think the pistons are like, that's a, they're, they're in the gravy like portion of, of being in the playoffs where yes, obviously they very much want to win this series, but like it's a young team building and all of these games are big for their future. Hank, who would you rather play? That doesn't

matter. I'd rather I'd rather play the next just because I want to crush their souls, but it doesn't matter. I don't care. Would that be wild though if Tobias Harris beat you? Yeah, I mean that something drastic, maybe like MSG's floor broke. Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum through all day and Derek White's knees. But that was crazy to throw that out there.

Okay. That would be wild. Yeah. Yeah. All right. You guys want to quickly talk about tonight's game. The nuggets were insane from three. Like they I feel like Jamal Murray hit 103. I don't know if that's an actual stat, but there was that stretch in the third quarter where they basically were after game four. Was it? No. Yeah. Game four when they gave up the 22 point lead even though they ended up winning, I feel like they coming into halftime

in game five. They're like, we're not going to let this happen again. We're going to keep the pedal to the metal because they were so hot from three. They ended up 51% almost 52% from three and Jamal Murray hit eight of them. Yeah, you just can't beat a team who is shooting like they shot on a night like tonight. And now when you've got good Russ either. Yeah, good Russ came out big time and he was he was feeling himself. He was cussing out the crowd. He was he was doing a lot of shit tonight and yeah, making a lot of big shots. Also, Christian Brown has become a very, very solid

player. Yeah, he's like, I think you need a young guy like that with a team that's been good for a few years. Get a new young guy and that's just faster than everybody and let him give you a little bit of energy and stretch the floor. But he's been fun to watch. Yeah, he was all over the boards. And yeah, I mean, Jamal Murray ended up with 43. Like that was that's the that's what you just need from Jamal. Like I know 43. You don't need 43 from him. But Jamal Murray is a guy who has that in him.

It's not like a Gary Trent doing it twice in a series. You're like, Holy shit, how'd this happen? Jamal Murray can be that guy. And if you just get that, the nuggets are really, really scary. Yeah, I would say if like, obviously, Yoko is going to get what he's going to get. And it's rare that he'll have an off night. But if he plays up to like his standard, then if you can get a good solid night, like a really good night from either Porter or Murray, then I think that nuggets are going to win

like 95% of those games. Yeah, I just matter of having one of those guys get hot. I think this will go seven. I wanted to go seven. I think it's going to go seven Thursday night will be fun though, because we get both game sixes. And then we should talk about Monday night. The Warriors Rockets. Pretty much exactly how I expected this to go and the fact that the Rockets had a really good season or a good team, they're just too young for these moments.

And we had it all because it wasn't even Steph. Steph didn't have to be Steph. Jimmy Butler was back, played really, really well, told Dylan Brooks to his face, you a bum and a bitch and you weak, which was a very funny clip because the ref came over and said, are you talking to me ready to team up? He's like, no, I'm talking to Dylan Brooks and the ref was like, oh, okay, no problem. You're right. Like carry on. Uh, and then Jimmy Butler like abused Dylan Brooks and

got in Dylan Brooks with the foul that basically decided the game. But the story of the game, Draymond green just had the most dream on green game possible because he, he had six points, eight rebounds to assist five fouls of flagrant and attack. So he had five fouls of flagrant and attack. He basically, and then he, and then he had a game high set plus 17 and he was playing like great defense down the stretch because I don't think that like Draymond green has to get to the edge. He, he was all out of, he couldn't do anything else. He could not have any other whistle go against him when you have five fouls, attack and a flagrant. And he was right on the the edge. He's like, all right, now I'm going to play great defense. You know, it's going to be a very dangerous

night when Draymond hits his first two shots of the game and they're both threes. Yeah. Because at that point Draymond, he's like, my work here is done. Like I've contributed on offense. Now it's time for me to really impact the game in every single possible way that I know how. And yeah, they hit him with the technical and then, And then for the kick to the head, the refs gathered around, they looked at it. There was also an attempted kick to the nut sack that they kind of just poo pooed away. They looked at the review and they said,

okay, we can't give him another technical because we can't kick him out. But we can say flagrant and he's allowed to keep playing. And I think everybody thought that Draymond was going to get kicked out at that point, including Draymond. He was sitting on the bench like, Oh fuck. And it was funny because he knew that he couldn't do it. He knew that he had to like try to tone it back once he got teed up. And so you could see him actively trying to like talk himself out of getting technicals. Yeah. And then you get them on the ground and all that goes out the window and he's like, I gotta start kicking somebody. Yeah. He played, he

basically played the rest of the game, uh, with two strikes, like he, he, he was choking up on the bat. It was like, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta foul some things off. I gotta make sure that I don't make it out here. It was crazy. You just can't, you can't get more than five, five files of tech and a flagrant and great defense at the end. Yeah. Setting that down. Yeah. It was pretty incredible. And by the way, underrated like, uh, the, the, um, YouTube puts up the final, uh, like six minutes of every game, which is pretty sick. Uh, if you ever miss any of these games that we're talking about, Jimmy Butler's rebound on Shingoon's miss with

like four seconds left was insane. He just skied over everyone to get that rebound. And I mean, he's just I thought he was going to be injured for a long time and he he was he scored 27 points in that that rebound like I'm gonna say right now rebound to the first round. Oh, I like that. Yeah. You're saying that Jimmy Butler has beaten the unathletic allegations. Yes. That was my rebound of the first round. Okay. Because the rockets are so much bigger than the warriors. And if you should get Shungun misses one like that, you're, you're hoping like he shot with the, with

five seconds of the shot clock. Cause you're like, we'll hopefully get an offensive rebound, be able to win the game that way. And he just skied over everyone rebound to the first round. Are you now is the is the Aaron Gordon buzzer beater? Is that technically a rebound? No, I'm counting that as a pass because I love you. Okay, so much even though he said it wasn't. It was definitely an assist. Yeah. Yeah. Playoff Jimmy's back. And did you hear what would playoff Jimmy said about playoff Jimmy? No. So this is very confusing to try to follow me on this

one. He initially denied that playoff Jimmy exists. Oh, so he said, man, I think it's a facade that people have created over the years. Playoff Jimmy. I know what I'm capable of. I can tell you that. And now just wait, because after saying it's a facade that people have created that doesn't exist, he then goes on to say, I don't really just take it up a notch. I might have the ball a little bit more. I might be a tad more aggressive looking to score, but you're talking about somebody that's going to do anything to fucking win. That's a motherfucker right there.

The per the person they deemed as playoff Jimmy, he'll die out there. He really will. It's scary. He really will die out there. So he, he, he started off by saying, no, that's just something you guys talk about. And then he thought about it. He was like, yeah, no, he's different. Playoff James is a different guy. I can't be responsible for anything he does, but yeah, he's a man. The Warriors, I think, what are they like 20?

I want to say 26 and nine or something since they got Jimmy Butler. Yeah. 27 and nine, 27 and nine. And I think most of the losses they have are either without playing, uh, Steph Curry. Um, and then to a couple really, really good teams, but the Warriors are not, they're not the team that started the season. They are one of the best teams in the NBA right now. And you have to be sick of your, the rockets

because this was a very winnable game because you had Fred Van Vliet go off. Shungoon was awesome. This is though my point going into the playoffs like the young team. Jalen Green like that's your second leading scorer and he just he was a no-show and that's just what he's been this year. He's either been incredible and or a no-show and it's like that consistency and being able to win games when maybe your best player or second best player is not shooting well, but he just, they're just a young team that's going up against the wily old vets and Dylan Brooks. The minute that Jimmy Butler

said that you, you bitch, you, you weak, you a bum. I was like he's got him right where he wants him. That's exactly what he wants. It would jail and green. He, um, I thought it was either Shq or Chuck that said it after the game, but they made a pretty good point, which is that he was only three for eight, which isn't, it's not terrible.

It's not, it's not a good game. It's not terrible. But one of them said, like, you don't even know if you're having a cold bite, if you only shoot the ball eight times. Right. And you're, do you gotta be, for the Rockets to be like a real contender, He has to be shooting the ball more and scoring more like that's just a fact. You know, you can't rely on Fred van Vliet to go eight for 12 from three.

So to have him do that and then lose that game, that's brutal. Yeah. And when you didn't have a good Steph Curry. Yeah. Right. So that's, we didn't get a blow job night from Steph Curry. No, we had the Jay, but put them put them ski and dream on green playing at the edge all night.

Did you hear? Did you hear Bill Simmons say that? Yeah, that Steph Curry game is like getting that getting head. I think he said it's like hating on blowjobs. Who does that? No, I mean, he got it. You got to clarify because I don't like to give blowjo jobs. That's true. There's two sides of that coin. I would say a dream on night is more like anal sex. It's like fun maybe sometimes, but it's also a little dangerous and someone's going to get sore. A dream on night is like BDSM. Yeah. Like one of those, one of those dudes that

like goes to sex dungeon and has a chick step on his balls with high heels for four hours and then he comes. It could be fun if you're into that sort of thing. Yeah. I'm not saying like all you got a big oral fixation bill or something like that. Just reverse it. You got to say getting blowjobs. But he is right. Hating on Steph Curry. Like I love Steph. I don't know anyone who doesn't. Well, I would never hate on somebody that like to give blowjobs. I always hate the dude. There's always some dude who's like, I don't even like getting blowjobs. Like, fuck you, dude. What are you talking about? You're a piece of shit. That could be a good strategy, though, if you're if you're like younger, I'd say in your early 20s or so, and you tell a chick you're like, Yeah, you know, I don't know, bloated. Just never do it for me. And then in the back of their head, they're

like, well, the way I do it. Yeah. Tommy smokes, I think says that I think he says, doesn't like getting blow jobs like, fuck you, dude. Yes, that's weird. Like, what are you talking about? You're just trying to be different. Like, that's come on. Don't do that. Ah, alright, should we talk hockey? Yeah, we got to talk hockey. By the way, did you guys see? We're not in studio, so we can't play the video. But put a note in

it for take of the year or take ease did you guys see Rich Eisen almost cry about the shooter prank call I did not see that it was quite something and we like rich but he was almost in tears now was he crying for the future of our youth? He was crying about the whole incident. Like if you took out the context of it being a prank call, you could definitely convince me he was talking about like a horrific like tragedy somewhere. Okay, I'm gonna have to look this up. I'm gonna have to watch it. He's gonna have to be in the take ease. So it was some apparently Connerly, the guy

that the commander's drafted. He got prank called too. And there was another guy that got prank called after he got drafted and they told him that you're getting traded. Oh, so this is like now we're up to like six guys that these dudes prank called. Yeah, a lot of prank calls. Our prank calls back. Yeah, the jerky boys are back, baby. Jerky boys are the best. I remember having those CDs.

Fucking awesome. Was it jerky boys? What was that? Toll booth Willie? No, that was Sandler. That was Sandler. Sandler did some. The goat.

Yeah. Yeah. The jerky boys did terrorist pizza. That was a big hit. Jerky boys did terrorist pizza. That was a big hit. Jerky boys are so funny. Alright, let's talk some hockey. Pft. I don't know why you guys didn't play tonight. I'm pissed off about that. I really wanted to but we've got some. So we got eliminations. Devils are out which I think we're

gonna get to that moment later in the podcast where Max was like, no, the devils are still in and we're like, no, dude, they're probably out. But it was a crazy game because it was an overtime game, five, four, double overtime game. The hockey playoffs have been incredible. And by the way, I know we, we haven't, we've been promising, but we have confirmed Ryan Whitney will be on the show on Monday show. So we're going to recap all of round one and preview round two, but they have been every single night, like the lightning Panthers series with the hits and everything that's going on. Echblad's elbow. He got, he got, we, we went from,

I think, uh, Hagel took out Barkov and then Echblad took out Hagel and now Echblad's out. They're just getting each other's out with injuries and suspensions. It was a gnarly elbow too. The uh, the Panthers were, they're playing a little chippy the other night. They were boarding. They were just ramming guys heads into the walls. They're a, they're a physical team. I do not want to play the Panthers in the playoffs, but I have a confession to make. I tweeted this out because there's a couple people that have been tweeting at me a lot in the last couple days. I kept something from you in my recap about my

visits to Montreal. So you went to super sex. I did not go to super sex. Remember to shut down. Yeah. Allegedly. I did. I did leave the game early. Oh, I saw, you know, what? PFT. But I, yeah, I got sent a video. Yep. And I didn't, I did not retweet it because I was like, fuck it. He might just be taking a shit. And I'm also defending. I'm not, I'm not going to put my boy out there. I'm going to defend them. But I did see a video of someone on the opposite side. Yep. They had your seats like pegged and they're like, where are they? Where are they? Yep. So I was at the game. I was in my seat for almost all the game. And then in the third period, Oldie and I

were sitting there, we're depressed, caps are losing. Boys are no longer buzzing. And there's about three minutes left in the game. We're down two goals We just got a penalty against us though. So we're about to go man down Down to with about so when they needed three minutes the most you were like super sex hit the super sex I turned in I turned into a boy is what I did and I yeah, we listen I feel like in that situation you're not gonna come back if you're down two goals and you also have two minutes where you're down a man, right? It's the NHL playoffs, man. It is the play happen. It was bad. It

was bad. And I also gave a lot of bulletin board material when I just glazed Montreal. I just like suck their buildings dick for about five minutes on part of my take. And I just have a feeling that if it goes back there, there's going to be a lot of that thrown in my face. Yeah. So I'll have to deal with it when it comes to me. But yeah, I wanted to let you guys know that I did regrettably leave the game about two and a half minutes early.

May or may not because I wanted to go super sex. I think that's okay. I mean, I yeah, you were down. Well, you were down to down to and a man down and a man down. Yeah, that game was over. I wasn't gonna leave until we got the early guy. Yeah, that game was over. Gotta beat the traffic. So yeah, this lightning panthers game though, that was one of the craziest games because we had two separate instances where the teams went two goals in 11 seconds. The lightning did in the second period, they went up to

one. It felt like they were going to win the game and Echblad who, by the way, he got suspended two games for his forearm. He did not get a penalty in the real time because the refs just missed it, which is crazy because it was the most blatant forum that I've ever seen. I texted Whitney and I asked him. I was like, what is this? Like is it? Is it? This is just hockey or they just met. He said the rest were just out of position and they just missed it like they they just didn't see it. So that and then and then Echblad scores the goal, uh, to tie it to two. Then

11 seconds later, Seth Jones and the lightning are now, it was, it was like the lightning were about to be two, two in the series and now it's three, one Panthers. That game was so awesome though. Yeah. And this series does, does have a lot of bad blood in it, which is great. So I can't wait to watch the rest. Yeah, it's, it's very funny to look at like, like I said, hagel injured Barkov got suspended for game four, then came back, got injured by Echblad. Then Echblad got suspended for the next two games. They're just passing the torch of it. It's great. It's playoff hockey, baby. Um, we also, uh, this, the stars absolutely shit pumped the avalanche, which was, uh, it was crazy cause they scored, I dunno, it was like a minute into the game and then three minutes into the game, the announcers were like, this

is actually the longest, uh, they've doubled up how long they've had a lead in this series because the stars up until that point had two overtime wins. So they hadn't they weren't leading any of the like they had been leading for like a minute and a half the entire series. And then they just they absolutely like the one cool cool thing about hockey playoffs is sometimes you can turn on a game and this is kind of happened to you in game three in Montreal. The arena feels so loud and crazy. And the team has such a jump that you're like, there's just no chance of losing tonight.

Yeah, you just know. You can feel it. Right. Yeah, the entire West, these playoffs have been incredible. So I think on Monday before the games, every series was 2-2. Yeah. And every series in the East was three one.

Yeah, it's been great. I really can't wait to talk to Whitney about it because I know that he he's able to watch the games and actually pick up on what's happening out there. I have a kind of an understanding but it's typically limited to when I think the announcer is wrong. Then I just bury that point deep in my head. Yeah, I'm like, okay, now I've got a handle on it.

Did you guys also see, which I loved, uh, Messier, uh, they Messier was like, I think he, I think he was getting on his high horse about Echblad's elbow and was like, you know, that's crazy dangerous, all this stuff like to the head. And then the ESPN producers just got a like one minute highlight reel of him doing the exact same thing to like a million different guys. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's great. I love it when that happens. Biz from time to time has been known to wander into a similar situation, but it's like when Rodney Harrison's on Sunday Night Football talking about how like James Harrison is a disgrace to the league. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Uh, Oilers, Oilers finally beat the harmonica band. Yeah,

that's, uh, that's tough. I'm glad that they brought him back. And I love that the crowd sings along to they should hand out harmonicas like more. The whole crowd should, if you know how to play, join in. Yeah. That series has been nuts too, because it feels like the Oilers have been dead 17 different times. Uh, and they're now up three, two in this series. And we should have mentioned we are now officially on, is this going to be the Leafs? Like this would be very funny. They lose to the senators. Weren't really in that game. I, it's, you gotta start getting nervous. It's three.

You can't you can't lose. I mean game six is back in Ottawa. Yep. If they get to a game seven. Oh my God. Yeah, I think that if you were to ask Maple Leaf fans, yeah, you're up three one, but tonight was a must win because of what you said game six. Ottawa is going to be an insane environment. It's going to be super tough to win there. And then game seven is the biggest, the biggest butthole pucker game of your life.

If you're a Leafs fan, it's like, how much more sad can things get? This would do it. This would get more sad. Yeah. And they were, it wasn't like the stars Avs game. Like they didn't get killed. Cause I think it was one. It wasn't like the stars abs game. Like they didn't get killed because I think it was one nothing throughout the through the first two periods.

But what happened is Omar got a shutout and was making some incredible saves. And then the senators opened it up in the third period. You don't want to let a goalie get hot. You don't want to let a goalie get hot. Well, in the first period, the Leafs had so many good chances. Yeah, they did. And that top line that the Leafs have, especially their power play unit, their power play unit is insane with all the goal scores that they have. They've got Tavares, they've got Nylander, they've got Austin Matthews, obviously. And I'm trying to remember who else. Oh, Mitch Marner. Yep. And they were getting great chances

and they just couldn't score and it was like after it was one of those games where it felt like the Leafs were the better team in the first period but the fact that they didn't score made it seem like they were down like four to nothing. Right, right and and yeah goalie gets hot. Oh boy. Oh boy. Alright, anything else before we kick it to ourselves? We got some good hot seat. Cool to roam. We're going to defend our girl Jordan again. And then we get two great interviews. Hank, what do you got? Yeah, just abolishing

in studio broadcasters. Celtics had it tonight. Two guys were not in the garden. That's crazy for the garden. I think that's crazy for the playoffs. They had like the I at first I thought the crowd was dead because of just the way they mix the sound where it's like you could tell that the two guys commenting

were in a quiet room and they just had like the crowd volume on low. So, it sounded like a dead arena and I know it's been an issue with hockey like I've seen uh I know Blotman's posted some of the like, you know, TNT with the in-studio announcers versus the Canadian feed with the announcers in the arena. And it's like night and day.

Like that should, that just needs to not be a thing. I have a question. How much money it saves. It's good for golf. It's bad for real sports. I have a question, Hank. Yeah, PFT. So the the police

officer that gets to sit behind the Celtics bench. Yep. How do you get that job as a cop? It's gotta be the best cop job. Is it? Are you talking about the guy that looks like Fadlberg? Yeah, yeah. And he's there all the time. How is that his job?

How is that like on the day that you graduate from the police academy, they're handing out your beats and they're like, okay, yeah, you're going to be in and they're like, okay, yeah, you're going to be in Southie. Uh, you're going to be in, in Duxbury. You're going to be sitting in the second row behind the Celtics bench. I feel like it's a, you know, just seniority. You gotta know a guy and, and,

you know, you do do a favor for the right guy. Then all of a sudden you're behind the, on the bench. Are they doing cop activities while they're at the game? Cause every time I see the guy he's just watching like a fan. I think it's like security details. Yeah it's like the it's like the cop at the end of any every football game. Yeah he's getting time and a half probably. Yeah good. Listen I don't want to blow the guy's spot up. I don't want to make it seem like I'm accusing you of not working. It just seems like the best job that you could ever have. Yeah, it's also like a universal thing. It's not like it's a Celtics specific person. That guy does look like Fidel Berg in the final verse. Yeah. Yeah. Remember the member, uh, coach O's guy who was

like 400 pounds of muscle. Yeah. And like 6 6. Now is the Celtics Cup. Is that a different one from the right field? Fenway Park cop? Yes, I think I got tired. That's another great job. Yeah, to be like sitting facing forward at a game is pretty sick because like being security and having to stand under the basket and looking at the crowd would suck. Mm-hmm But being able to face forward that's a that's a primo job right there. Good gig. That's a good gig Missoula probably was like I'll find out I can I can probably find do some digging

Internally on how that guy I bet Missoula was like if shit goes down. I don't want you. I don't want you helping me at all If shit goes down, I don't want you. I don't want you helping me at all. I don't want to fight my way out. Like if you try to defend me, I will come after you. He doesn't want that shit. OK, let's kick it to ourselves. We've got two great interviews. Rose, hot seat, cool throne.

Max's White House trip, pretty fucking cool. We're going to recap it all back in studio. Okay, let's do some hot seat cool drone. It is brought to you by our friends at Body Armor.

It's exotic And you know, we also we love love and we have her back we root for love because we want Belichick on the show right and the the fake news media and and big tech are Doing their best to just take down this this beautiful couple by releasing reports that you know There's concerns within the UNC organization about this relationship and her involvement with the

football program there was reports that she stormed out of that same interview for 30 minutes causing a delay all all reports nothing none of this has been verified this is TMZ the fakes of the fake news but yeah love is on the hot seat so I saw trying to they're trying to tear down a beautiful couple It's it's the the dynamic duo of TMZ in the New York Post. Oh, these things I saw the headline in the New York Post. It said that the relationship or at least Jordan is a runaway train Right runaway train runaway train. That's probably I would imagine this way What they said the relationships are runaway like it they called her a runaway train and I thought maybe that quote came from Belichick because maybe she's just got a caboose that won't quit

Yeah, what so facto runaway train isn't that a song run away? Yeah, that's a great song so actually it's a compliment I guess dummy Tom Petty's a great song. So actually it's a compliment. I guess. I mean Tom Petty's a legend. So to say that she is a Tom Petty song, that's a pretty good compliment. And Jordan and cool ass chick. Yeah. And it sucks to see people tearing her down like this. Here's what I'll say in defense of Jordan. Uh, she's handling it very well. Yeah, so she posted on Instagram a long email screenshot of Bill Belichick talking about the book and how the media is gonna only focus on him saying like That he lost not focusing on the 250 pages of him talking football that email by the way It was definitely sent by Bill Belichick. Yeah, he wrote that. Yeah, and also it um

It's very funny because like, when you hype up a book, that's how it works. They take one excerpt that's like, they don't really care about what your game plan was in the Super Bowl. They take about, they care about like, you saying something salacious and then they hype up the book that way.

Does Jordan know how hype works? I think she's hyping it right now. She is hyping it, but they didn't want them to talk about the relationship and she did storm out for 30 minutes. Allegedly. Allegedly reports and big tech. And also what does she all right. You know what? Because we are a Jordan podcast because we want bill about check on PMT. What does she just had to take a shit? Yeah. 30 minute. Shit. Well, what's the problem there? I saw what girls can't shit again. Misogyny is at play here. I saw her Instagram post.

My favorite part of it was that it was used the soundtrack for the post of Taylor Swift. Oh, nice. What you made me do. There was also two, two slide carousel posts. The first post was the screenshot of the email. The second post was a screenshot of a video from her camera roll that was 35 minutes oh no other context okay what was on it no other content no in the 35 minute video did you watch it screened like if you took a you know if you looked at oh got you had like it was just like there is a video that's 35 minutes on her phone but the screenshot that didn't show anything. That is the most disturbing thing I've heard so far

in this relationship, that she has a 35 minute video that she took on her phone. Maybe it's the 35 minutes she was taking a shit. Yeah, maybe, she seemed to be alluding to that. Do you think she took a video of herself taking a shit? Because that's what, you know, look what you made me do. I won't watch it. I will not, I'll listen, I won't watch.

35, 59, there's just two pairs of feet on the ground. Feet. Wait, what? He said feet. There's two the tootsies. Is this the shit? What is this video? What the hell? Again, she's handling it. See, perfectly see that crashing out. I'll say this. I'm going to follow her Instagram right now. out. I'll say this. I'm going to follow her Instagram right now. You already follow. I don't, but now I do. Uh, also she is again, not crashing out, just simply retweeting people that are defending Bill Belichick on Twitter. Is she? Yeah. Like this person replied to Floreo said, or maybe she didn't want her or their personal relationship to be part of the interview instead of on football. I think if they don't want to talk about they shouldn't. And if anything, your article demons, demons why demonstrates why trying to embellish and take things out of context. Retweet Dennis

Byers with an egg profile said the interview was supposed to be about his new book about his dad at Navy. They were wearing Navy for this reason retweet. Again handling it well I see a woman who cares about her man and doesn't want to be screwed around by the media. This is from Texan nightmare she probably not gonna fuck you bro. Nothing awkward about it imagine a private person wanting to keep their private life private shocking. She's not exactly well private person anymore. Yeah, she is running comp for the UNC football program. Right. And posting probably the most famous football coach on her Instagram all the time.

Retweet them. Well, I'm looking at her Instagram posts here. Riddle me this. How does one write a review about a book they haven't read? Oh, it sounds like she's she's going on a one-woman tirade against Everybody in the media right now actually also riddle me this I have definitely done that I've definitely done that I've I think multiple times someone has asked me to write a review or give a blurb and I'm like cool No problem. Did not read the book. I've reviewed movies of books that I haven't read

Yeah, so like I can tell you that the Da Vinci code sucked You know, I just saw that I just saw the movie great movie. Either way, we're Jordan show and we have no ulterior Motives outside of trying to get Bill Belichick on the show. Mm-hmm, and we've been We it's clear that the keys to Bill Belichick are dangling off of Jordan's It was very expensive purse. And we love love. And we love people having to take 30 minute ship breaks. Hank, you do that all the time.

Right when we're you do Hot Seat Cool Throw and you're like, I'm out of here. We did have one interview on this show. I don't know if you want to say the name or not. That had a similar where we interviewed a person and their their manager possibly possible relationship there. Oh not interjecting person. Yeah yeah yeah. Remember that. Yeah. Doesn't this seem exactly that like that relationship. Wait who is it. We

can bleep it. He's really tall. Very tall. It was a long time ago with mixtape. Oh, yeah. With with Kareem. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It gave me that. That also is Kareem is credit to Kareem. He's one of those guys that has the reputation of being tough to deal with. And then he was. And I was like, you know what? Respect because you don't want it to be the reverse. You don't want someone to be like, Hey, he's the friendliest guy. Like it would break my heart if like Adam Sandler when we interviewed him was a dickhead. He was the friendliest guy. They go break my heart if like Adam Sandler when we interviewed him was a dickhead He was the nicest guy ever

Kareem I knew going in is like he might not like us and he did not I don't necessarily think that creams even a jerk I think he just is a private person. He doesn't like doing yeah, but he knows that he's really good at basketball He knows he has to do it sometimes like Jordan. Who does it sound like Jordan? Check Jordan. It sounds like Belichick. Yeah, Jordan Okay, so Jordan keep doing you retweet We got to get memes try to get retweeted by Jordan Reply to Florio and or any account and just be like You know and tag her and be like can't can a girl just have love and be private

I feel like it's got to be like Shane. Yeah, Shane. I have Shane. We'll have Shane Yeah, all right Shane's Shane's Shane's gotta get reach. Are we getting our presents today, by the way? We are gonna yeah, yes, okay everyone with me. Okay. Well you you don't need a present from Italy You just go to fucking a ball hot every day All right cool, sir My cool throw where's you just get trapped too? Did you do we lose you for a sec? Well, I was pulling up. I my cool throne is Alex Cooper. I just saw this before the show that yeah Who was doing a two-part documentary? Mm-hmm. So is that part on her and part on Alex part on Sophia with enough?

I hope so. I feel like with the way things have gone with that like there's not gonna mention Sophia with enough somehow I don't know Do you think that? Ronan I will be in this documentary for the time that Sophia with an F and Alex Cooper told us we had small dicks Hopefully I'm very excited to see how they they what she wasn't wrong by the way. I thought that was not I thought that was a great episode. Yeah, but I got taken aback because I tweeted like I tweeted about it and someone replies goes Quotations Alex. So what are your thoughts on Henry Locke with the fourth I wish I was the fourth I'm not and then the answer was well Hank is a

bit of a grumpy guy who doesn't really know ball and is scared of the Knicks but also afraid to admit it and that wait what was that when she tweet that no this was someone in the replies making up a question answer got it got it and in this hypothetical I'm a grumpy guy doesn't really know ball and it's scared of the Knicks. I don't know also I to admit it I don't think you're scared of the Knicks. Thank you everything else Hank when I saw this news I I thought the same thing as you two parts. We're doing two why not four. Yeah, why not five six? Why not just a daily show? There's nothing better than the documentary that could be like two episodes or one episode and they stretch it to three and there's just that middle. The middle where it's just like, or four.

It's just that third episode that's just like, about the Yak. Yeah, it might have gotten sold before. I mean, they should have an episode about the mill funner. They should. Yeah, they should. They won't. What if Doug's got in there? Or me though the hooligans

We should do it Alex. Yeah, they didn't talk to me about that. I was doing Alex Cooper documentary from our perspective I respect how fucking rich she is. Yeah, I really do. It's insane. She's killed it. Nothing more respect Yeah, it would be funny if we did one from our last jealousy Perspective and it was just like so yeah, we saw her one day and then a couple of months went by. She came out to field day that one time and we saw her again. Yeah. Field day. I remember that because I actually, they want Sophia with an F and Alex Cooper wanted to get lunch in field day was right by my neighborhood. And I walked back to my apartment with just me and the two of them.

And it was, we had nothing to talk about. Nothing. I remember that episode where the two of them were talking about like the size of guys' dicks in the office. Yeah. And all I took away from it because they mentioned me and they said, yeah, PFT's got a big dick. And I was like, this is a very awesome episode. I love this episode. And then Big Cat and Rowan came walking out and they were pissed off. And I was like, we're a very awesome episode. I love this episode. And then Big Cat and Roan came walking out and

they were pissed off. And I was like, well, I got so angry. That was a that was a great chat. I mean, again, they got it right. So I wasn't they did not do anything right. But it was cool to hear when someone says, Hey, you got a small dick. Mike. Yep. What are you gonna do? All right. That it still get laid. Yeah. Cool. Cool. Those actually the Giants. Oh, no. Well, that's crazy because my hot seat was the Giants Oh, I had the giant New York Giants on the hot seat Because although they seem to have made some good moves in the draft

They took another step back yesterday because at the White House our president Donald Trump was addressing the Philadelphia Eagles I don't know if you guys saw that the Eagles went to the White House yesterday. But he was talking about, he did like a full season recap of the Eagles going back to like week one and just gave basically a play by play of every cool play that happened that year. But he said in the off season, they picked up Saquon. He was on the Giants. He was a great player.

I told the Giants, I told them, do not let this guy go. He's a great player. They didn't listen to me. They let Saquon go and now he's with a great team. It just must've felt bad for any. I felt bad for giants fans that had to listen to that. Yeah. And then the giants, they actually had to release a statement saying we did not in fact talk to president Trump prior to letting Saquon Barkley go. Yeah, it was so max the completion of one of the best story arcs in part of my take history. Jerry O'Connell calling us as Big Dom, pranking you, you getting so upset that you almost quit the show, leading to the real Big Dom, texting me and you and being like my paisons, this can't stand.

We got to get maxed the White House. Turns out you went to the White House. Tell us how it was. It was great. I mean, Big Dom hooked it up per usual. It was a buzzer beater like Sunday, Sunday right before the actual day happened. He hit there. We were in talks, but nothing was official until Sunday. I got

the official invitation. You know there it was mostly just like it was the team up up doing the ceremony and everything and there was a bunch of like like politicians and like their plus ones who are all Eagles fans that were like in the excellent day and then it was me. So it was like a bunch of Eagles fans that were like what are you doing here? What are you doing here? How did you end up getting in here? And then luckily Big Dom hooked it up. It was cool. I mean I've never obviously been that close to the White House. It's pretty damn cool. I was in the South Lawn saw the entire thing go down. Big Dom you know he did it again. Big Dom is the best. I'm forever forever grateful for Big Dom and it was the only way that that story could have ended.

That picture of Big Dom where he's standing like above the whole team was so bad ass. He's just the man. He was the first person that Trump like shout out and brought to the stage. Yeah. He brought, he brought Big Dom up there. He's like, you're a big guy. You're great at your job. And Big Dom shook his hands and said, my pies on. Yeah. I mean, that's just his, his, his, let me, let me, that's just like his meeting call. Yeah. Yeah. But, but, but Max, think about this. Like, so we watched the whole thing from, from here. Uh, Trump's whole speech was hilarious cause he basically just did a play by play of the entire season. He was

just like, and then Saquon jumped over two guys like played all Eagles fans in the crowd and they were like, yes, that was awesome. That was awesome. Yeah. He just kept on going through the whole season. So, uh, for you like it had to be a crazy moment to be like, I'm standing on the lawn of the white house while the president talks about my favorite team winning a Super Bowl. What the fuck is going on? Yeah, no, it's there's many times where this show has brought those sorts of moments. That was definitely among the top. It was just like what I I am so out of place here, but you know, just happy to be there. So you took a piss in the White House. I took a piss outside of the White House. Oh, did you get in the White House? Wait, you took it in the Rose Garden?

Did you have that through setup at any point when you were on the White House lawn? Were you thinking about Hamas? No Hamas. There were a lot of photoshop's of Hamas. Okay I took the picture and then you know the internet ran the internet ran so let us mag a max comments Yeah, make America max again. Mm-hmm. I'm down for that Mama just max just just max It's just max very cool. Do we give any credit to Jerry O'Connell? No. Oh, you gotta give credit max. That's that's great Yeah, that's bullshit because Jerry O'Connell That would not have happened

Jerry yeah, obviously That's the only reason it happened and he set the wheels in motion He did but I don't I still don't like him, you know, having this victory lap. I think big Dom is going to invite you regardless. I don't think that Jerry, I agree with that. I agree. Big Dom is my guy. Big Dom was going to make sure that I got in there.

I saw, I saw him also defend vigorously the tush push. Yeah, that had to make you feel Donald Trump defended the tush push up there. He said, it's a great play. It's a strong play. They shouldn't take it away and, and bring back the kickoff and bring and then in an ultimate direct shot at our friend Sam Schwartz. Trump won't fucking stop taking like a direct sniper shot at Sam Schwartz Dean for his kickoff rule. Like Sam has been watching TV, he's been watching football his whole life. He's been playing football. He came up with a play that he thought would

be a benefit to the game. He's very proud that it's in the NFL. And now that it got there, the president of the United States keeps talking about what a shitty rule it is. And he just has to sit there dealing with it like, God damn it. So funny. It is very funny. Well, have you thought, though? All right. So you're not going to give credit to Jerry O'Connell, but we could use Jerry O'Connell for a few.

Like, what if Jerry O'Connell prank calls you and says he's Nick Sirianni and says hey I want you to come out to training camp I think you'd we have a roster spot for you and then you get pranked and then big Dom Texas like that's unfair what they did to my pies on we got a roster spot for me I'm retired from all Jerry O'Connell prank okay retired from price it would be a real shame if Jerry were to call up impersonating Tom Cruise and to be like, PFT, I'd like to invite you to be in the next Top Gun. That would suck.

Don't do that. You would be like, sorry, Tom, I can't actually fly. I'm scared of heights. I can fly. Are you scared of heights? I'm scared of heights, but I can fly. PFT, don't let Hank do this because I got something for Hank later. I can fly. I'm not letting Hank get away with anything as long as I'm not outside.

Don't you worry. I got something coming up on my hot seat. Hank, you can't even get 10 feet off the ground. Don't talk about heights. Don't you worry. I'll tag you back. I'll tag you in. I'll let you know. I'm going to give you PFT. Oh really? Cause that's dunking height. No dunking. It's actually 10, seven. Okay. You can't get 10, seven off the ground. That's a big seven inches. When I give you this, that's what I do this-7. Okay, you can't get 10-7 on the ground. TFT. What are you big seven inches when I give you this? Yep, that means you're ready. Okay. Yeah, just look for the big Dom also facetime me when he was with Lane Johnson Jordan Milata and say Kwan so I got I have a screenshot of a facetime with me and say Kwan That's fucking sad. It's like a hundred. No, no, just like on the phone

When he face I'm you you were like no, no, no, they were, this was after, this was after the fact. Okay. Got it. Got it. Got it. What would you rate the experience overall? 10 out of 10 big dom's the best. Yeah. He is the best he is. We will forever be a big dom. If there's, if there's two things you can take from this podcast, it's that big dom is our Python. We'll defend them to the ends of earth and Jordan keep doing you baby. Yep. But one more that you're a bad ass bitch. One way more than the other. Yeah. Jordan Jordan. PMT power rankings. In fact I would have Jordan on the podcast without Belichick. Yo, absolutely. Without a doubt. She deserves her two part Netflix series.

Oh, Jordan could maybe, listen, Jordan's doing a pretty good job of managing an NFL, now college coaches, whole calendar career. Maybe Jordan manages Jerry O'Connell. Oh, I like that. I think Jerry would like her. Give her a little piece. Jordan, my take.

I like that, okay. My cool throne is billionaires paying for a fair amount of their public private fucking stadium purchases hmm So josh harris great owner some would say the best owner in sports right max Say it again josh harris maybe the greatest owner in sports yeah no i All commanders fans are now sixers fans if the Wizards don't get the number one pick, wouldn't mind it if the Sixers got it, because that's just a testament to to Josh Harris's ownership. The process has worked. The results of the process haven't worked.

Yeah. But you got to trust the process of the process, which is what he's in charge of. As my friend Steven Chase says, great value. Great. Sixers have gotten great value. Tremendous value. It's not over yet. So so this is actually very big. A big piece of news for Washington, D.C. and Washington sports fans is that RFK Stadium is coming back, which is we had that stadium for, I want to say, like 30 years or so in the heart in the district itself.

We moved out there in like 97, 98 to suburban Maryland into a soulless toilet bowl of a stadium. That was, it just only existed to generate revenue at the expense of fan convenience, at the expense of the fan experience while you're at the game. I bought tickets there. My first game that I went to, I bought tickets, didn't have a lot of money. I spent like 50 bucks on a skins giants game, went out there and I was seated directly behind a giant pillar, a cement pillar. I could only see from within the 20 yard line on each side of the field. That stadium was a dump and it still is a dump. It's a piece of shit.

And it's also just out in the middle of nowhere. Doesn't tie anything into the community. The team practices Virginia in Virginia. They play in Maryland, like 50 minutes outside the city. It sucks. Bad place. RFK stadium is where the stadium should be. And they announced yesterday that they're going to go back to RFK. They're going to build a new stadium there, hopefully get a Superbowl, hopefully get, I don't know, maybe the draft, but concerts and all that stuff. I think it's a great plan.

The one thing that does concern me a little bit is that, uh, I don't think that they've officially cleared everything with the city council yet. They did this announcement. And then I heard on the radio, a the radio a couple council members being like yeah that announcement kind of came as a surprise To us. I don't know why the mayor did that Yeah, so my guess is it's gonna happen, but there's probably gonna be some concessions back and forth So like make the council members feel like they get their pound of flesh as as someone's going through this right now You're gonna have to negotiate with Arlington Heights as well to see if you can get a better offer And then we'll have to get Kevin Warren to look at the chairs. Yeah. Yeah. And then only then

stadiums are hard to build. I mean, even in Arlington Heights, that is that's still Chicago. Yeah. Where we built the stadium for FedEx field, it will go down as a the tombstone of a soulless project that was run by greed that accomplished nothing except to piss off an entire area and lose interest in the team. But it was DMV because like I was gonna say it's Chicago land. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, listen, all these stadiums, there's a ton of stadiums that are not in the cities.

Right. This one though was especially egregious just because it was designed with like absolutely no care to the fan. We had to spend, when it was open in like 98, we had to spend a long time out there. And it sucks for Skins fans. There was no good way to get to it. I'm glad that now it's in the district.

You've got Metro, you've got all this stuff. I hope they bring back the stands that used to bounce that we used to have at RFK. Now, when they originally had those, it was just because people were jumping up and down and the stadium wasn't that well built, so the stands would move and they would shake. I hope they put hydraulics in so that you can actually have a section that you can get in. That'd be cool.

Make it bounce up and down. It'd be really cool. It's, it's honestly the coolest thing ever. This is what I've wanted for the longest time is for the team to move back to the city. So I'm very, very, very excited about that. New ownership actually works. Well, what happened was the day that Snyder sold the team, mayor of DC was like yeah okay now we'll have the conversation right because we just gave up on dealing with that piece of shit. So credit to Josh Harris Max Josh here owner fan owner. Yep. And the Devils were in the playoffs too. They were.

So what a great what a great season it's been for Josh Harris. Yeah, absolutely. All right. Technically still in it. Technically, well. Are they playing tonight? I don't know. And we already recorded, we're doing this out of order because we wanna make sure everyone has their updated games. I get all my Devil's News.

As of right now, they could be out of it. I get all my Devil's News from Frank the Tank. So as far as I'm concerned, they have been out of it for six months. Also, Juan Soto has not gotten a hit this year Correct Juan Soso. What is Juan? So can I see one so stat line real quick because I have seen this is just we should just do this as a random Segment like what do you think this player is doing based on Frank the tanks?

Okay, tweet. So I saw Frank the tank tweet a couple days ago that he was batting like a hundred I think I think he's probably batting two 40 based on Frank, the tank streets. The devils did not make the playoffs. The Mets are 501. So does batting one 20. Yeah. What is he batting? Two 67, two 57, two 57. I mean, that's not like obviously you want one soda to bet higher than that, but that's not even close to a historically bad year. I think that's the lead. That's probably above the lead average. What's it click on one soda? What's his career average? It's definitely higher than two 57, but it's probably not like what's his career average you just get some max it was so

much smoother when you weren't here oh my god what do you mean I click look up look up the look up was bad do the how how was that bad I look at you said you said Juan Soto I clicked on his fucking name and you guys are like oh no you're just looking 284 284 284. 284. 284. What did you want me to do there? Bad lookup. How is that a bad lookup? Well, you were just kind of lost.

Well, sorry, I didn't memorize exactly where ESPN puts all of their career stats. Okay. Let's just take some accountability. All right, my hot seat is accountability because, well, it's two people. It's me and Hank. I'll go first. I fucked up like seven things on Monday the value did have time put back on ESPN fucked me on that but I'm accountability also there's just like incredible

running backs named number 22 it's Emmett Smith, Matt Forte, Derek Henry, Christian McCaffrey with the Panthers, Najee Harris probably doesn't belong in that. I can't remember numbers for the life of me. Didn't you say wide receiver number 22 though? Yeah, but then when we said running backs, I was like, well, that's a bad running back number. And then everyone's like, dude, Emmett Smith. Okay. I still agree that 22 is not a good receiver number to look at. Well, the Eagles have a receiver that's picking number 46, which I'm sure I'll probably fuck up and be like, there's some 46 I don't know. But are you guys-

That's stolen, that's stolen valor for fullbacks. You should be allowed to do that. I know Yeah, and kind of safeties. Yeah, like a hard-hitting box safe. Yeah. Yeah the I know quarterback numbers I don't know any other numbers like like Stephen Che blows my mind when he can just he's like, oh, yeah I know like valentunis this number. Do you guys know numbers? I'm decent with offensive numbers in football basketball is pretty hard But I feel like I'm good with wide receivers running backs quarterbacks. Yeah, I don't know defenses is a toss-up I don't know. I don't know basketball numbers to save my life Football numbers. I think I'm like average at I know quarterbacks. Yeah quarterbacks. I can go in. Yeah. Yes memes

We did this on macro dosing. Yeah, he brought us in and we picked a lottery ball number and you had to pick anyone It's actually fun game do it right now. Let's do one so bad It was number two popped up and then like afterwards you're like, alright Zach Wilson That's just Derek Jeter. Like I know like the the most famous person I get people are mad at me because I didn't know I didn't know cam Juergens number Right, like I just Don't yeah, so Tom Brady fuck That's Aaron Rodgers, or was he did he change yeah, see I don't 12 12 in Green Bay I just those are details that I just can't I

Can't remember that was the easiest one ever do one more that's hard Can't believe you didn't get it hang It's hard homes oh You said Vince Carter. That's good. I wouldn't know that I just remember that as a kid I like like Vince Carter so whenever 15 was like a number was like oh, yeah, that's Vince Carter I think that if you do number one those are both I think if you did if you gave me a multiple Choice test I would do okay because it's like one of those things and if I see the number yeah in the name

I can be like yeah, that was probably his number But if you have to give I have to get it from thin air. I just got no shot I just let big cat do this one. What's there? Let me do solo one I Know a lot of the numbers, like one through. I need everyone else to check chime in. One through five from playing Beard Eye. Just to say people's name. What is that?

Ninety. Ninety. That's a tough one. Except, wait, see, I'm not good either. Dwight Franey? Is TJ, is he 90? He might be. I think Julius Peppers might have been 90. Yeah TJ's 90. Puna Ford maybe? Puna Ford? He might be 88.

Oh, there we go, Julius Peppers 90. Nice. I just so bad at it though. I Still agree though that 22 is yeah, it's tough. There's just there's been I actually my real take is you have to be great To be 22 is a running back because it is like there's it's McCaffrey Panthers Emmett Smith Matt Forte Derek Henry and then it's like the next one is nausea Harris. I still think that Zero is a bad bad choice for Zack Yeah, and then Hank Hank is on the hot seat He is My boy Hank is a pussy

Why well, this is yeah, okay. This is uh, I'm watching this new show where you should watch a PFT I think I've recommended to you Mobland Yeah Basically Tom Hardy is just Tom Hardy for the whole show and it's so badass and I've been I don't have anyone Like it's a weird show because I don't think there's any buzz about it, but it's really really good It's about London mobs. It's just it's it's a great show. It's like I'm already playing like a British mobster He's a fix the American. No, he's a British mobster. he's a fixer and he's about as Pierce Brosnan is in it great great show right in the skull so I've been looking for someone to talk to about it and Hank said he started

watching it so I came in this morning I watched the last episode last night no spoilers everyone should go watch it because we should talk about it and I was like Hank have you caught up on mob land and he's like no I'm only on episode 2 I was like why dude there's five caught up on Mobland? And he was like, no, I'm only on episode two. I was like, why, dude? There's five episodes out. How do you, it's one of those shows that if you watch one episode, you gotta watch the next because it gives you cliffhangers and it's just great.

And Hank said he can't watch any type of violence at night before he goes to bed. What is that? Now is that because it amps, it gets you too jacked up? No, he said he gets scared. This was like four or five. This is pre COVID. I made this switch.

Maybe during COVID. I forget. Whatever Yellowstone. I. Why are you bringing COVID into this? I was just trying to think of the timeline. It's been like this for a while. I've been, it was Yellowstone.

I was watching Yellowstone in season one or two and I was watching before bed and proceed to have the most detailed and violent dreams of all time that I would wake up and be like Alarmed that my brain could even get to that point. Mm-hmm So obviously the dreams is like real life and I'm just like doing like crazy shit. Where are you going? I know killing people what you just It's not before we go to bed. It's you get you get high before you go to bed Yeah, can't watch a show when you're too high no no no max is right No, he said I get that like I don't want to watch something

That's like if I'm super high and I'm watching something that's freaking me out that'll that'll scare me no I think it's just that I do not freak out when I'm walking He's a dreams and then he's any watch the show before bed and then get violent dreams. That's not what I do with watching the show. I think it's that you get super high before you go to bed. And that fucks your dreams up. I don't do that. He, PFT, he then threw me into it and he said, yeah, I get violent dreams after watching

a violent show and I'll kill you in my dreams. He said that to me. He said he's killing me in his dreams. Which is why I stopped watching shows like that to me. He says killing me in his dreams, which is why I stopped watching shows like that before. But that's like, we need to get you some better help because like that's, but like you're, you're making it worse by now, shaming me for like trying to stop myself from having, I'm not shamed. I want it on the record. I'm on the record in your life. And then when you watch a show that's very violent, then you have violent dreams.

At least that's how I diagnosed it. I would like it on the record. I am not shaming Hank. I just think he's a tremendous pussy Fair thank you, so you dreamed about killing big cat I Was having violent dreams for like a while tell me more about killing big cat in your sleep What did you have a better team? I'm better helping right now. I don't know this is a while This is a long time ago. Tell me more about that. I don't remember. I stopped I blocked it was a really traumatic It sounds like you're not blocked It sounds like that was a tough experience Have you ever had those types of dreams before?

No, it was pretty much only in this two-week period Watching Yellowstone, but then the follow-up question is when do you watch the violent shows it like 8 a.m. No, like you know, when did you watch last of us last week? I don't watch last of us. Hmm. That was violent I don't either. Yeah, well, whenhmm. That was violent. I don't either Yeah, what when do you I might have to start I might catch up Wendy when do you watch your violent shows? Do you set like a reminder like oh, I'm gonna have I'm gonna have like a brunch And I'm gonna watch mob land I know that I won't say before like 10 o'clock and if it's if it's if there's a chance that I fall asleep during

An episode I won't watch it. Mm-hmm This is not a fall asleep show I'm a fall asleep guy. You are now Hank. Does that put that on a quote card Hank? Does that? Like the fact that you watch Mob land or that you won't watch Mob land at night I'll watch episode at nine o'clock and then just throw on some golf at nine o'clock and then just throw on some golf and fall asleep to golf what about if you watched like a sexy show at night would you then dream about fucking us mmm possibly good crap have you ever fucked any of us what qualifies a sexy show I don't know porn romance yeah I mean I've definitely watched

porn before I go to sleep and that hasn't happened so I guess do you so I think that means that you just want to actually kill us because if it was if it was equal then I Like I I was alarmed with the dreams I was having so I stopped the thing that was causing me to have those scary dreams you guys are like Worried about the dream. I told you that the dreams were fucked up like I said that it was like yeah I had some really fucked up dreams I really didn't like it so I stopped doing the thing that made me have those dreams.

You guys are now hung up on the dreams I was having. Just wake up. I'm so mentally tough that I control my dreams. Sometimes in the middle of the dream, I'll be like, yo, PFT, this is a dream. Open your eyes. Yeah. And then I'll be like, okay, I'm back. Thanks dream PFT. Yeah. I'll be like, hey, big cat, you're a fucking moron, dude. You're dreaming right now I did that two days ago. I was like this is clearly a dream Let's just get out of here real quick. Let's hit the reset button Good for you. Did I ever did I ever defend myself and kill you?

Again is that long? That would be reality like I might have even talked about this one when it happened But yeah, I had a dream last week that I was gonna fight White Sox Dave in Rough and Rowdy. Hell yeah. That's awesome. You ever had any dreams with Steven? Oh yeah, I also had a dream that my girlfriend cheated on me with Steven Jay.

Oh, that's brutal. That was bad. He's really good at eating box. All right, my cool throne is our friend, recurring guest, Brandon Bean, Bill's GM. So Brandon Bean, uh, had had enough of it. And this is one of my favorite moves whenever like a player coach or GM does this. He called into a local Bill's radio station and basically roasted the guys because

they were saying that they don't have any wide receivers. This was the Jeremy and Joe show on WGR 550 and Brandon J. Brandon being called in and was just like you guys wanted me to draft Josh Rosen instead of Josh Allen. You guys like we scored 30 points in all of our playoff games. We need to fix our defense, not our offense. You guys are idiots. I just like any GM that sticks up for themselves. Yeah. I mean, he makes a good point, which is that if you had this complaint, the time to voice, it would have been last off season after they lost digs. Yeah. Although they did draft a receiver last year. Yeah. But the time that you would have had to voice this complaint would have been last off season. That's what he said. Yeah. And he's like, this year our receivers were not a problem.

Actually, I love Shakir. Yeah. I think he's awesome. I think he's a great player. So yeah, I liked hearing him do that too. And he was ready. Oh, so he was ready for he had the notes ready to go when he sat down that interview. And if in fact, they did claim, you should have drafted Josh Rosen instead of Josh Allen. If that did happen. I think that Brandon Bean has a get out of jail free card for life. Yeah, from those guys agree, like no matter what he does, no matter what happens to the team, no matter what boss he drafts, he gets to be like, you want to Josh Rosen. Yeah, I was the argument is over. That is, that is the biggest decision he possibly could have made as a manager. And he got it right. Therefore, you just have to accept the fact that you're dumb. He's smart. He's right. You're wrong. Yeah. But I just I'm all in favor of like Sports Talk Radio GM just being like, you know what, I was in my car heard you guys you're wrong. I'm calling it. Great move. Great move. Big Brandon Bean fans. Okay. Good, good hot seat, cool throne

It is Christian Yellich from the Brewers in studio here. You saw the office. Good to have you here. I just looked up your name and I want you to guess what the headline, the most recent headline in the news is. About me?

Yeah. It's gotta be, is it something with this? No. No, not that quick. Christian Jelich's ghastly error caused brewers in brutal loss to giants. Yeah, that was a tough one. What happened in the error?

Well, he airballed a line drive. How does that happen? I don't know, just didn't catch it. What? And when that happened. And then I fell down after I tried to go get it. I said I fell. Yeah.

What happens when you get to the dugout after that? Nothing, you're just like, fuck. Does anyone try to joke about it or no? No, nobody's saying. Oh, yeah, what what happens when you get to the dugout after that nothing here's like fuck Does anyone like try to joke about it or no? We talked about it later like a day later, but we ended up losing that game Bad series for us. So nobody was talking about them the next day We all kind of like laughed about how I try to tackle a fly ball and then fell Fumble recovery in the outfield. Yeah. All around bad scene, tough scene for the boys. But what, when, when an error happens in the outfield, is there like a moment

where you're like, Oh, I'm fucked. Like right before you're like, I just misjudged this because I'm always shocked how good you guys are with it. Oh, while I'm watching it, that was really bad. Yeah. Holy shit. Oh my God. It was in your glove.

Tough. Yeah. It was exactly. It was in my glove. I don't know how it didn't go in my glove. Oh Two hands errors in the outfield are way worse than errors on the infield for whatever reason because anytime you're like backs to the field Yeah chasing the ball after oh something bad something really bad has happened That's got to be a very very lonely jog that you have to do when you're like running back to the warning track To get no one yeah that and then when you're just sitting out there afterwards Yeah, look at you just did you know and you're on the road you're like oh, this is a great time

Everyone's having a great time right now. It's just so much fun. You can hear the fans. Yeah. Yeah, that's don't recommend it I don't recommend it. Yeah, but it does happen, but the opposite I would say like when you when you throw someone out that has to be like a top Yeah, that also doesn't happen all too often That was the next part that was gonna have to happen in that play actually caught it We're gonna have to try to throw the guy out at home Also, that was probably what you were thinking of like I got this throw. Yeah, we won't make excuses for it But yeah, I was trying to kind of catch it and throw it all at the same time

We just skipped the first part of that whole equation didn't catch it so we didn't get to throw it all right well we got the hard question after there's like a dicey play in the outfield do you do you just wait staring at the scoreboard being like come on rule that a hit rule that a hit no that was not even close to being a straight-up just topspin line drive airball I don't think we've had we had you on what two years ago So it was right before all the rule changes. What what is the pitch clock been for hitters? Is it better? I think it's great. Yeah, it's the game going keeps the game moving. We don't there's like a long game

Now it's three hours, right? That used to be flying back in the day or if you played in three hours You were super stoked because it was like three and a half, four hours. So now, the games move. Even blowouts, even when you're losing by a lot or you're winning by a lot, they still go quick, which is cool. When it first started, did you have to remind yourself,

gotta get back in the box? Yeah, there was a month. Spring training basically was the adjustment period, and then after spring training, it was fine. Do you think it's an advantage at all for hitters that like pitchers have to go like at a different pace? No, I think everyone's pretty used to it now. I think before people would forget about it and now you see like one or two of those a month, like for both sides, it very rarely happens now, but I think it's been good because it just, you know, keeps the the action going keeps the game moving there's no minute like a whole minute in

between pitches you know so that's good it's good to get that out of the game and since there hasn't really been any issues with it either it's been it's been something that's been good. We've got the the robot omp's that they're thinking about putting in I know they've tried it out in the minors a little bit have you guys had any because in spring training you you had some of the robot omp where you could challenge, right? Yeah, but I never played in a game with the challenge because it was only at some stadiums.

Yeah. It wasn't all of them. And I never made it to any of those stadiums, I guess. So there was never any like challenges that we got to do. But I think it'd be, I think that would be like the furthest extent that you'd want to see it. I don't want it like full.

I just don't think it would be good, but that's just my opinion. I think in big spots, if like there's an egregious miss or something like that, I think even the umpires would probably want it to be corrected. That way it doesn't impact the game. The way that they're talking about implementing it, it's interesting because they're going to put it up to the players. So it's not going to come from the dugout. It's going to be the player gets to say either the catcher or the batter

I'd like to challenge this call and you only get a certain number of game You got to watch out for guys that are just like looking after their own stat line being like hey I know it's the top of the second inning Zero zero not the time to do it, but I think that that was a ball. Yeah, it's like now not the time Yeah, they measured us for it in spring training Like we had to go like get measured for the electronic zone. Oh for the strike zone Yeah, like they oh they came to the facility and like you I don't know what we had to like stand It was like you take getting your height taken if you like the doctor or something like that

The thing that goes on top of your head and then some cameras all around you and it took like 10 seconds So every person strike zone is a little bit different. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty wild stuff. Yeah. Dumb question for you, because we're at the start-ish of the season. What point at the start of the season are you like,

if you're not, if you start slow, you're like, fuck, this is the average. Because it's always, I always feel bad for guys who like, you don't get a hit the first week and your averages It's actually better to be zero. Yeah, then to be like so looks like you haven't played. Yeah, right Everyone's like oh he hasn't had in the bat yet. Yeah, but at what point are you like? All right, I gotta start getting a couple hits here. I think Right around now like if you're still like in a like the hundred like you're for like around a hundred

Yeah, you know, but really like the end of May, you still have like a whole nother month to go before, even if you like, but even then you still have four months to play so you can still salvage it, you know? Right. But yeah, it just looks real. It just looks ugly. Yeah.

You know? Yeah. I was flirting with a hundred earlier this year, just kind of hanging out around there for like a week or so. And it feels like in a turn, you've played like seven games. So it's not that big of a deal, but it just feels like forever wait So did you have the moment cuz did you not get a hit for the first few games? No, I got one like the second

But then I didn't get like another one for a while after that so we were one for we were one for the season for quite Some time yeah Because so it be you agree though like like hitting zero is like, who cares? And then the minute you get that first hit, you're like, shit, they actually registered. Now it's.8. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. It looks like on April 4th, you were batting.083. Yeah. So when you get on base on April 5th, are you doing the math? Like, okay, that's one hit. So now my average would be 0.92. No, because I can't do that.

I can't do that math. I can't do that math. I would definitely. You just know, some seasons, you kind of start and it's just like, you get off to a hot start and you're kind of cruising the whole season. You're like, that's way better, by the way. I recommend that one.

Other times, you get off to a really bad start and you're like man like here We go to shovel in a hard hat the rest of the season because you're digging yourself out of this this hole for months But it's how it goes. You know yeah, do you have a way to get yourself out of a slump? No Eat ass no no no full full uni shower every now and then some guys Oh, yeah, you need shower straight uniform just right into the shower cleats everything just

Turn them, you know, really get it off. Yeah, does it work? No So Another dumb question you obviously won the MVP in 2018. Do you ever how often do you think like? Well, that's pretty cool that I always have the MVP, because once you do that, that means you were the best player in the National League for an entire year. Yeah, I don't think about it that often. I remember thinking about it that year

in the middle of September, where I was like, man, if I don't mess up these next couple weeks, the rest of your life's pretty cool. But I remember thinking about it, like all right, we've got two weeks of games left, let's try not to mess this up. Because it can go either way, you can get hot for two weeks

and then that's what ended up happening and ended up winning, or you can just be feeling off up there and going a little bit of a slump and there goes that. So I was like, well, we'll see how our life is in two weeks and ended up kind of working out and being pretty cool. But I remember actually having that thought one day like at the stadium, like, let's try not to mess this up.

Yeah, because it is for the rest of your life. It's MVP Christian Yelich. And it's never something that I thought I would do. It was one of those things like, how is this actually happening right now. You don't ever start playing baseball and be like, I'm gonna win the MVP one day. You just kind of find yourself in the middle of it.

And it wasn't something that I ever expected, especially when I first started in the league. Winning an MVP was the farthest thing from my mind. So when it kind of shaped up and happened like that, I remember thinking that it was pretty cool and let's try not to mess this up. Yeah, you almost went back to back. Yeah, if I didn't blow my kneecap up,

maybe I would have had a chance. Yeah. Yeah, so how are you feeling now? Good, good, yeah, much better than last year after surgery and all that stuff. So we got a new back, feeling pretty good, swing feels good. A new back.

AP swing feels good. Tell me about the new back. It just cleaned up. It's just, I had to get some stuff taken care of back there and Feels a lot better than it had like the last few years. So that's exciting, you know home run derby ready So yeah, you hit a grand slam the other day. We get tagged in every single one Every single one of your home runs. It's just like hundreds of people tagging us So home run derby is that you want to do that like the home run derbies not even cool anymore

I don't even mess up the format. Yeah, I don't think it matters if I want to do it or not anymore I feel like I have to do it. No, you don't have more of like a responsibility than anything just to you know Just make sure you experience everything that Major League Baseball has to offer before you're done. Mm-hmm You wouldn't want to like not experience something That's as cool as that. It's all Mickey Mouse though. You don't even get to see the balls hit the ground They just you know one right after the other the camera works gone. I don't think Chris Berman's even doing it It's lost a lot of its lust and I think we can probably bring all that back No, I wouldn't even want to see I wouldn't even want to win the home run derby. Hold on PFT before you say this though

What's how is how is Atlanta for left-handers because we should it's a good place It's a good it is shit. All right, so maybe not this year We need to push him to do it a year where it's not isn't the game here in a couple years I think so. Yeah, I think it's like we need like a wind blowing out at Riga Center we don't know about that like there there was the game No, we don't know about that like there there was the game A week and a half ago the Cubs played the the Diamondbacks and there was 21 runs scored in an inning and a half When you guys play it Wrigley and the winds blowing out or you just like this is like pop flies are just yeah I was like it's one of the

The elements have the most effect on the game at this field, right? I mean, we've played a lot of games here too You know if the winds pin straight in and it's a cold day, like you know that there's not going to be a lot of scoring today before the game even starts. And then when you see the flags just pointing straight out with the wind howling, you know that if you just hit anything in the air on the barrel, it's probably going to be a homer. That's going to be the best feeling. It has to be.

It's way better that way for a hitter. Yeah. Hitchers don't like it as much. Yeah. Oh yeah. What about in the outfield if the winds blowing out? God says it's not a good feeling here though The outfield is not that fun of a time at Wrigley anyway Because it's like the foul lines are right next to the stands like there's no foul territory plus the wind plus the Sun Ivy yeah all goes in on the wind blowing in days

Usually a lot of those games are decided by who messes up in the field Yeah, you're them. Yeah, basically if it's some ball happens somebody drops one in the wind You know, those are kind of how those that that's how those games are decided kind of yeah Yeah, so I've been playing a lot of right field in softball. How's it going for you? No errors so far You haven't missed any I haven't missed any yet. Do you have any recommendation? How do you track a ball off the bat? What do you mean? Do you have like any pieces of advice? Like I know that it's easier to go forward

than it is to go backwards. This is the guy, that's the guy that won a gold glove in the outfield last year. Me, you saw what I did out there the other day. Yeah, we got South Korea looking here. Yeah, I just need to know if you have any advice, any tips on how to track a ball. Catch it. Okay. Just make sure you catch it. Yeah. Close the glove, close the glove,

catch it before you try to throw it to hands. What about a throw it before you catch it. Doesn't end up very well. Do you try to position your body so that you catch it in a place where it's close for your hand to grab it and throw it? Ideally. Yeah. Me too. Right shoulder. Yeah, me too. I like to do that too. Um, I'm curious to know also, baseball has gotten tobacco out of the dugouts because they don't want guys on TV spitting all the time. What is the spread like now?

Do you have sunflower seeds still everywhere? Do you have nicotine pouches? Just strictly sunflower seeds. Bubblegum? Good answer. Just sunflower seeds. That's it. I've noticed that none of the guys are using nicotine anymore. None of them pretty crazy zero percent

Do you do any all sunflower seeds? Do you do any of the I? Love whenever there's like a blood the cups on the head or the hot foot have you ever done any of those? I don't think so. I might have happened to me before though when I was a rookie I don't know if anybody ever let my foot on fire Every now and then it will happen you're like wait, so the prank is just lighting his foot on fire and then it is that's Which I think it's pretty frowned upon I haven't seen that one in a while I think I have seen that one but Yeah, we haven't had a good dugout fire in a while Yeah, no when they stick they're like giant bubbles of gum on people. Yeah,

yeah, I'm noticing that's always fun too. Yeah, that's a good one. I like that one. Are you are you pro torpedo bats? Yeah, I'm fine with them. I think it was the most like overblown sports story in a long time. I think we had a lot to do with that. Wait, we kind of contributed to that because because you guys got killed by the Yankees. Yeah, we sure did. Yeah. And then the bats became a thing. It was just like by the Yankees. Yeah, we sure did. Yeah, and then the bats became a thing It was just like perfect storm Yankees in New York ESPN Gave up a lot of runs a lot of home runs, but judge hit a lot of those homers, too And he wasn't using one right

It's just another model bat like everybody all of us use different models You know, so it'd just be like a different model that you could bring up there So right you still have to hit the ball, you know, so it'd just be like a different model that you could bring up there. So right you still have to hit the ball You know, yeah hardest part. Yeah, and it's just a feel feel and preference thing So if some guys are gonna like them some aren't but it definitely didn't it wasn't the reason why they scored I think 40 something runs on us. Yeah, how often do you mess with your bat? Do you like try out new bats? I never do I've used the same one since I was 18 Oh, wow

I grabbed one that I liked early and I've used the same model my entire career like never never switched it up never changed it So I kind of like it because I don't have to think about it ever just one less decision you have to make every day Yeah, but it takes a while to find I kind of got lucky and just found one that I really liked and worked for me So I haven't changed and then other guys kind of bounce around just the field thing yeah could you tell when the Yankees are up really how fuck this guy's got the torpedo bat no no it's more so Aaron judges up with the basis loader analysis not good yeah those those are good for the boys I've cut a serious question because I know that you knew Bob Euker right yeah so funniest guy I never got the chance to meet him

we never had on PMT unfortunately, but he seems like an all-time great dude. Yeah, very fun hang Yeah, what was your experience like Bob? He would have crushed PMT. You know, he would have loved it They should have been right up his alley. Yeah, but he I mean it was awesome just because The stories that he could tell like the life he lived was unlike anybody else, you know And he's he was around all like some of the best was unlike anybody else, you know, and he's, he was around all like some of the best players in the game and he would just go out with these guys. They were all buddies, you know, Mickey Manil, Hank Aaron,

all these guys just hitting the town, having a good time before any kind of social media cameras, anything. So, you know, he had all those stories, there'd be astronauts FaceTiming him from the space station for his birthday, like there's all all kinds of just all kinds of wild stuff and like a crazy life and he knew everybody and had a story about everything and Anytime you got to hang out with them was was cool because you just listen to him tell stories He's a great storyteller and had an amazing amazing life where he basically did it all you know yeah

Yeah, I mean it's one of those ones like the I think it's baseball too like whether it be Vin Scully or like Some of these guys who just it feels like they've seen so much baseball talking about the major league movie Yeah, Charlie Sheen right like all kinds of crazy stuff. They're like a walking history Yeah, yes new every to the Tonight Show like everything and you could also tell when he passed like they're the Tonight show like everything and you could also tell when he passed like they're the Amount of people that loved him just because of all the outpouring. Yeah, it was very cool Yeah, I mean he's a huge part of the Brewers to that. He'd been there forever and just really and he's come on Hang out in the club house almost every day when we're at home on that sauce I hang out with guys tell stories hang out in the kitchen

There's everything he knew everything about everyone to whether he'd been there for 10 years or had just been called up. Like he knew everything about you and where you're from, what you're doing. So it was a, he had a unique way of connecting with people and making everybody feel like he'd known them their entire life. Yeah. Who's the best clubhouse guy you guys got right now? Um, I don't know. These guys are all pretty cool. Sal, Bryce, ours, Ries, Ries, a good clubhouse guy. I'd imagine that's important. You need to have like one guy. Yeah, we got a good club. We have a good clubhouse. So we've, we've had it for a few years. Yeah. It's, it's a big reason why I think we've been pretty good. So we're pretty tight in a group and

we're all pretty similar. I'll get along. Yeah. It's super important though, to have a good clubhouse. Yeah. When does it become hard to get yourself amped up for every single game? Because the season is so long. Do you have to remind yourself to stay focused? Just caffeine. Caffeine, yeah. Firing them back, coffees. No, I mean, I think we all kind of help each other out with that. When the game starts, we're fine. And you play a major league baseball game, like you're gonna have enough adrenaline and energy

to make sure that you can post that night. So there's not really any problem with that, but the season gets long sometimes and you just have to pick each other up and help each other through the year at different points. But we've done a great job of that. We have a young team which helps to all young guys have energy and Play the game hard. So everybody else kind of falls in line after that respect 90

Yeah, is there a pitcher that you that you go up against that throws a pitch that? Gives you problems in particular like the hardest pitch to hit in baseball right now I Like the hardest pitch to hit in baseball right now. Um, I Don't know I mean they're all everybody's so good now like every pitcher I think is like the best version that they can be Yeah, you know because of all the technology so, you know, whether they're one of the best in the game or they're not it's still the best version of themselves because of the technology that they have with pitching as far as like grips and kind of pitches and what kind of pitches you should throw, you know as opposed to him Like you guys would have different Pitches and how to do it and how to use them and these ones are good to this guy and not to this guy

There's so much technology now where it never was it wasn't like that 10 years ago guys would just throw shitty pitches and not Know that they sucked. Yeah. Yeah, they get turned around and they go. That's just my curveball, you know, yeah Ball and you they won't know if that was good or not, you know from your perspective as a batter Is there a pitch that's come along since you've been in the league where you're like, that's that's a pitch that I didn't used to see I think guys like they call I think sweeper now Yeah That those have all gotten better just because they've taught them how to throw them and how to use them.

Splits, like there's all that stuff. Like they can just tell now, they only have to watch the pitch. They can just look at the data from the pitch and tell you if it's good or not and if it's gonna play. What the spin rate is. Yeah, so like they'll either be like, no, that's not good. You're not allowed to throw that ever again.

Or yes, that is good. Use it with this pitch. Right, yeah. these are the pitches you're gonna throw right? This is how you're gonna throw them to each hitter. Have you gotten a hit off Paul schemes yet? I have not No, I've only seen two or two or three at bats. Is he is he as nasty as he seems? Yeah, he's good just because he's got good stuff, but he also knows what he's doing Like he knows how to pitch right like that combo is pretty pretty special Yeah, he's pretty advanced for how young in the game. He is But he's only pitched against us one time. Yeah, we only caught him last year at the end and then

We haven't played the Pirates yet this season. Do you when you DH? Do you like that? Is that more fun? I'm learning It's something they have to learn how to do, because it's different. Well, it's just different, because you're not going into the field, and you're just hanging out, you know, and you go hit. So it feels like pinch hitting a lot throughout the game. Early at bats feel normal, and then the later at bats

feel like you're pinch hitting. So I've tried a bunch of different things. I've stayed in the dugout the whole time. I've walked the halls of the clubhouses. I've gone in the cage a little bit. Go to the weight room. So you kind of just try to find a routine that you like and that you feel good with.

Yeah. For me, it's kind of different every day for me, honestly. But I don't mind it. I kind of like it. Yeah. I mean, if you DH, I feel like it would be fun just hanging out with the boys in the dugout. And then you're like, all right, time to hit.

Time to go. Yeah, four times, you know, maybe five. Yeah. Maybe he'd get one hit. Yeah. It's helped my body out a little bit. How have you been DHing more this year? Yeah. Probably because of the error. Yeah. Yeah. That might be why they're That's why I just said so I could probably just I was like, I probably just leave my glove in this locker right here, huh?

I mean, listen, I didn't know I looked when I looked like cuz I was just looking for most recent news That was a ghastly error. It was a bad one. It was really on highlight It'll be on for sure like stadium bloopers. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, it's potentially that's an error That could keep you out of the all-star game Potentially. Yeah, which then would keep you out of the home run. Is that how it works? Well, no, he said that he doesn't want to go to the all-star game just for the home run derby So as long as we keep Christian out of the all-star game, he won't be in the home run derby Yeah, surely this won't backfire. Yeah telling everybody not to vote for Christian. It'd be a shame if we just tweeted that error constantly

Preferably but I think if it doesn't I think before I'm done playing I feel like I'm just gonna have to do it You're gonna have to do it find a close one and just go and then have the all-star break if you're not in the game do you have like a Amount of years that you won't like ideally want to keep playing for I think I have three more after this one for sure and then we'll see after that. Wait, is that contract? Yeah Okay, and then One or two maybe after that one if everything goes good or feels good, but mm-hmm We'll see so we got to get this thing. We gotta get this thing done soon, right? Yeah

Yeah, what's it like becoming a veteran like a guy that that 13 years the young guys are like a year's talk to Christian He's been around for a while. He can tell you everything to do all the time I try you know, but I don't know. I think it depends on the the guys you have but we've got really good young players You know two of them over here have been fun to watch them come in the league and like learn the league and watch them get better and Become like full-time major leaguers I think that's been cool being able to like help guys and talk to guys and see guys careers progress It feels weird though because I was always like the young guy when I was younger,

like always was the youngest. And then so now I'm pretty much the oldest, definitely the oldest position player on our team. So it's a weird feeling and it feels like it flies by, it feels like it goes by fast, right? Like I'm sure it feels like that for you guys too. Like, man, I've been doing this for so long, but it doesn't feel like it, you know?

So it's been cool. It's something that I've really enjoyed but it's also a weird feeling Yeah, it's gonna feel great though when you retire and you get you get a summer. Yeah It's gonna be pretty cool. Yeah, it's pretty amazing. Like people don't talk about that with Major League Baseball I haven't had one since I was 18. Yeah, we're not gonna like cry for MLB players. Good job on the contracts Yeah guaranteed you get a pretty sweet job. A lot of us when we're kids we wanted to be ball players But you guys don't get summers ever ever and that's tough. It's just what yeah, it's It's kind of weird because we just haven't had one in 15 years. You're just doing baseball every day, which is fine

Like you said, it's good job. But yeah, you don't get to do all the summer things everybody I was like no 4th of July is no you're not doing anything, you know, but Could be worse. Thank you for your service. Sacrificing your 4th of July. Yeah, get out of here with that. Have you ever pitched in a game? No, I don't think I'm ever gonna do that. I don't really wanna do that.

You're not on the list? No, not right now. I think maybe like my last year they might let me do something like that. Rizzo did that like his last year with the Cubs. But it's not something that like, I don't really want to like lob a ball at a guy and just stand there 60 feet away. Please don't kill me. Wait, so who's on the list on your team right now? Like who's the- I think Powers has done it for, I mean,

he was leading the league in innings pitched at the beginning of the season. He had one of the most like appearances by relievers. What's the E of the season. He had one of the most appearances by relievers. Which is the ERA? Zero. He didn't go to any runs. Oh, wow. That's huge. He was cutting everybody up.

The game that Judge hit three homers, Bowers got him out. He flew out to the track. Oh, that's awesome. That's pretty cool. That's huge. Oh, yeah, yeah. Your whip is really good. Let's see.

4.4. I can't read all these stats. There's too many stats. You think there's too many stats in baseball? Yeah. Cause you're going to be bad at something. You can't be good at all of them. Do you guys find the ones that you're good at and just being like, look at this, I don't even look at them because it's like they change every day. And then half of, I don't even know what half of them mean to be honest with you. Yeah. I pretend that I know what they mean, but I don't, I don't know anything. I just them mean to be honest with you. Yeah, I pretend that I know what they mean, but I don't I don't know anything. I just know the standard ones, you know, which RBI is homers OPS war

But yeah, but how do you get war like I know one knows? Yeah. Mm-hmm. I don't know how you get Let me see what I mean missing fly balls in the outfield. I get that you that doesn't help your career war is 42.3 That's pretty damn pretty good. I think so. I don't know possible for 42 wins Yeah, that's you About an average guy. Yeah, I think that's what it means, right? Yeah, sure couldn't tell you. Hey, do you I know you watch some football We had a debate on this show Hank thinks that Travis Hunter is more impressive than Shohei Otani. No, okay It's impressive, but... It's not.

But... Like, put Shohei like, it's just insane that he's able to do both. Right? Yeah, I think, I mean what Travis Hunter does is pretty impressive too, like playing both sides in a football game, but Shohei is... Maybe he's definitely one of the best pitchers in the game when he's pitching, and then he might be the best hitter when he's hitting.

Right. You know? So, that combo, and then he might be the best hitter when he's hitting right, you know, so That combo and then he's one of the fastest players too. So he can really do everything the best Yeah, which is super rare not that Travis Hunter can't do either of those but I don't know you don't know How it's gonna go in the NFL I guess the counterpoint though show. Hey never won Heisman They didn't win the Heisman probably could have though and he's never tackled anybody that we know of yeah That's true. Don't know Are you still uh, do you still feel good stealing bases? Yeah, you had 21 last year

Yeah, before I blew out. Yeah, and you have six this year. Do you do you? Like when you when you what's the strategy when you're trying to steal a base like is it all jump or is it? It's a field thing. Yeah kind of feel it. It's it's a game really stealing bases is a game like you got to pick your spots you're kind of Pretending that you're not gonna then you're gonna Some guys you can some guys you can't it's it's a little bit of an art You know is something that takes time to learn right? I learned a lot when I came to the Brewers as far as you know stolen bases

they're always pretty good at it and had had good people teaching it and You know, it's actually with the Cubs now Quintenberry Q. Oh, so the third base goes for the Cubs So what do you have the green light to steal bases or is it? Yeah, all of us do that's kind of how it That's kind of how our team plays like Wild we're just trying to cause chaos the whole game. Yeah, I'm fun to watch You don't really know what's gonna happen because we don't know what's gonna happen That is fun. It usually works out for us. Yeah, that also means though if you get thrown out, that's on you Yeah, yeah

You have to go back to the dugout and be like, sorry guys Is there a chance anyone could get it taken away from them the green light oh, yeah, yeah Murph will take it away. He will How many times you get have to get caught for it doesn't even have to get caught you do enough stuff where he gets pissed Talk to him have you ever had the green light taken away from you No, I haven't no we've had it happen though before yeah How hard do you have to work to get the green light back? Usually I get it back, you just give it, they'll give you an explanation about like,

all right, can't be doing that. Yeah. It's back. Yeah. Don't do it again. Do you have an art of how to get out of a rundown? There's really no getting out of a rundown in the big leagues anymore.

Yeah. You get in a rundown, just like one throw and you're done. Yeah, that was like a strategy in little league, where it's like, just get into a rundown and the big leagues anymore. Yeah, I had a rundown just like one throw and you're done. Yeah. Yeah. That was like a strategy in little league where it's like just get into a rundown and they'll throw it away. Your best bet is to hope somebody gets like lazy on the throw and you can like bump into them. Get instruction. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The old a rod slapping the hand. Yeah. I mean, don't slap them. But yeah, if you just like somehow maybe clip them a little

bit on the high. What's your favorite unwritten rule? There's no more like there's no more unwritten rules in baseball. There used to be all the time. Yeah. I don't know, it's a good one. I mean, bunting on a, like a. We just got weird, that kinda happened to us.

Yeah, and a no hitter. Yeah, that one's tough. That one you have to be careful of because. Yeah. But then if it's one, nothing or zero, zero zero, zero, you're winning the game, you know? I feel like you can still bunt then if it's zero, zero, or just because you haven't gotten a hit yet, you need to win.

Have you been part of a no-hitter or a perfect game? Been a part of a bunch of no-hitters, good side and bad side. How, so good side. Think like three or four. Does it get, at what point in the game are you like All right, we got a Seventh inning you're like this

Seventh inning it starts to get pretty real Yeah both sides if you're getting no hit or you have that you're the team with the no hitter I think after the seventh yeah, all right when you're getting no hit how like our guys in the dugout being like yo We can let's get it. We gotta get a hit mm-hmm Somebody needs to get a hit. Oh somebody lock it in somebody's gotta get it Yeah, do you change up anything about your approach? It's gonna hit top of the anybody get a fucking hit Yeah, top of the ninth you're down six nothing. Yeah, you're getting no hit Yeah, and and you're you're leading off. Are you just trying to just slap anything possible? Just get a hit just get any way

So I know what you don't want to be you don't go down in history yeah, I think I've been on the wrong side of two no hitters and Then I think good side of like three or four Unwritten rule stealing a base if you have the green light stealing a base when you're you got a big lead late in the game How late though and how big is the lead? Okay eighth inning and you're you got a big lead late in the game how late though and how big is the lead okay eighth inning and You're up Ten to two yeah, you shouldn't shouldn't still be shouldn't still be shouldn't but that's tricky too It's because like the other team still trying you know yeah

It's like you're not allowed to try to win the game anymore, but they you can give a chance to catch up Yeah, you know what about bat flips. I'm fine with those now. I think everyone's cool with that You have to be you know now like when I first came up It was something that was like they kind of really looked at as like earned like you had to earn the right to do that Mm-hmm. Now you can hit your first homer and throw it 12 rows into the True post how cool it is. What about why why don't any teams do the hidden ball trick? This doesn't work. Why not? You don't know you have you tried have you ever tried? I'm never on the infield so like I okay, but has your team ever tried no, that's the guy that time no Why not why not Bryce?

Hon hon come come here and talking to talking to Christians Mike. This is Bryce Rang Why don't you do the hidden ball trick? Well, a lot of the times the umpires call time right when the guy gets on the base. Right. So they're like time, get a new ball. You would have to do like a full, a huddle. Yeah, something like that. And then everyone put it in play. Like, Hey, play on or whatever. Go. And can you just try once for me this year? Yeah, we tried. All there. We go all right dude. It would be electric. We might have It would be so awesome if it worked Yes, right give us one try one try

Yeah, that's all I was a good point cuz like now anytime like the ball hits the dirters put in play Like as soon as the play is kind of done like yeah, we running, they do throw the ball out and write put a new one So it's it's different. It is kind of hard to do it. You would have to have like mound visit in play Yeah, or maybe like if there's a guy on second Line drive you get it out. Would they would they even if it didn't hit the dirt would they make you change the ball? Okay, fuck yeah, that's that's right as long as you try I'll be happy it can fail but I just I would like to see it like middle of August likely gonna fail but but that's fine the effort but if it doesn't but I doesn't I feel like the

other team would be pretty pissed and that would be awesome pretty pissed it's like the no pun pun yeah A pick off and then a fake throwback. Yeah. That's how you have to do it. Yeah. Yeah. That's like I've seen that happen before. So yeah, I've done that before. Okay. What about this might be the version of the fake punt punt that we can incorporate into baseball. What about a hidden ball trick, but the outfielder has the ball and just starts sprinting in. Well, he'd have to catch it first. Well, yeah, you have to catch it first. So we'll take it one step at a time, but then everybody in the infield looks around the like, where's the ball? Where's the ball?

And the guy takes off to run a second and then boom, you got them from the outfield cause you hadn't hit the ball at the outfield. They would really backfire if you didn't throw it in there. There's a lot of ways that could backfire, but imagine how sick it would be. I'm sprinting in in have you ever thrown a Guy out at first base. No like on a hit. Uh-uh. That's gotta be cool feeling That used to happen a little bit when pitchers were still hitting Yeah, right fielder was so close that they'd hit like a one hop line drive and get gunned down. That's the worst. Yeah

Yeah, can't have that somebody got thrown out from left field last week. Really, that's hard to happen. That's hard to do I thought it was like cod or something like Sean Casey. I think so yeah, let's see that's bad Yeah, see a little league home run with the Giants Royals game. That was tough. Yeah, it's the field It's yeah, the field things just happened. That's facts. Yeah, it's not your fault. No, it's not your fault Yeah, get thrown out from left field. You should just quit baseball baseball Yeah, you can't go back into the can't possibly be slower That's that's so brutal. Yeah, do you find it? It was against the Nationals, but it was you just rounded for the guy rounded first. Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay Um, I picked them. I got one last question for you Christian always great having you on row back question

Rho B a C k.com promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, rowback.com promo code take. So let's just be honest here. Are you considering the home run Derby this year? I don't know about this year. We'd have to think about it. Okay. So we comfortable now because we have to see how the rest of the year shapes up, you know, and also You told me pfD told me off air that after the Jeff Passan interview Yeah, his teammates found out about it. So what was the reaction when they saw I don't think a lot of them knew about it Yeah, I don't tell anyone. I don't tell you don't say that Casting hey guys, guess what guy gets called up and you're like, hey, I'm Christian And if I ever win the home run derby these two podcasters have to each other

Yeah, usually not the first not the first conversation But yeah, they all kind of found out about it. Everybody thought it was hilarious I get yelled at to do the derby every night It's also pretty funny and then every time I do hit a homer I do know that you guys get tagged Yes, as you should yes Yes. And all the time. Yeah. What about a magic number for it? How many home runs do you have this year? Is six, five, five. Yeah.

Five home runs this year. What would be the number where you're like, OK, you can enter with any, though, because you could technically have seven. Yeah. Yeah. Be in the derby if they let you. But for you to feel good enough about participating this year. Oh, I would I would do it with whatever do it with zero homers on the season. That would be mean if you did that. This is bad.

He's gonna do it this year or next year. Because it's all your seeding and then you just go up against whoever had the most. Yeah, I actually think you're a sicko and I think that you like not doing it but teasing it just so that we have to think about it all the time. Just fucking do it. You could do it like four times.

It doesn't have to just, it's not a one and done thing. It's justand-done thing. It's just no no no it only counts for the first time you enter No, yeah You say if you ever win one I mean that could be in like 20 years An old-timer's home run derby It will probably end the podcast so just so you know the blood would be on your hands. No It will probably end the podcast. So just so you know, the blood would be on your hands. No Over it would be pretty funny I mean we're gonna probably it's Each round that goes by would be more and more electric and and we're like the the options we've chosen are like either

Actually eating each other's asses or like cannibalism. So it's neither's a good I'm taking a slice of his ass Like it's sashimi. Yeah. Neither's good. The derby is hard. Like it's exhausting. Yeah. It's really hard to do. You don't want that.

You'd be exhausted. That's why I was DH-ing, man. You know, you have a lot of extra energy now. Did you pay attention to your launch angle? No. Like how is your home, so do you have a home run swing right now? BP in the game is different though.

Like BP, you can get on a little bit of a run. Like there's some days, like when you're taking BP, you can get on a little bit of a run. There's some days when you're taking BP that you get on a little bit of a run and it's just like that day you're just hitting everything. That's the kind of day we would need. So you don't really know how it is until you get out there. So if you got locked in and got on a roll, then you're in trouble.

Would you be willing to have PFT and I be like your friends and family on the field with you? I feel like you guys would have to go You guys would have to go or you'd have to watch it with everybody else. I guess what you're gonna do last time, right? Yeah, we're gonna live stream it but I I feel like we'd have to be on the field and we'd have to be close For sure. It would be so funny. You guys could like hold the trophy and We'll hold hands the whole time down the field holding up the portable camcorders like they used to do back in the day.

Oh man. I mean, it would be hilarious. They got showers right back there. Yeah, yeah, it would make it happen. We have different definitions of hilarious. I think you entering and not winning would be hilarious. I just don't even know if it would be allowed. Yeah.

They're not allowed to do that. I just, which would be also hilarious if Rob Manford like had like it like came across his desk And he was it would be the most viewed derby There's no way Watch that be like how can we steal this idea for the NBA you can't steal this idea You can only people one that's the best the only people dumb enough to make this bet Yeah, I mean it listen it was a good bet because it's given us what like eight years. Yeah, so accidental

It's so awesome. It was so innocent at the time Oh last time you watched the video that this was based off. He was watching earlier today But you guys showed me a screenshot Yeah, I hadn't seen it since then like since it first started which I don't even remember what year that was. Yes Oh, so here's what we got to introduce your teammates to that since they didn't know About the ass-eating and the reason why yeah, yeah, I got there Christian was in a film. Yeah My twin earlier he was like he was like what year was that video anyway, and we're like dude Why are you asking us? Yeah, you should know yeah, I want to say it was like

Say he wants to say yeah Yeah, just like we're going on a solid ten years now, but we didn't know each other that good then yeah now We know each other. I feel like I've got to be like one of your guys's most Yeah, yeah by far. I'm number one Or something yeah, uh-huh. Yeah, it's always a good time. Oh, I feel like it has to happen because The best part about it would be like I would for sure be thinking about this derby. Oh yeah. That's why I don't think you could ever win.

Because if you're in the finals in the derby, you would not be able to lock in. I would be focused during it while I was hitting, but like in between, like if you were going into the finals, like you're waiting for the finals to start in the derby, like how could you not think about it? Like after every home run you would hit, you would just start laughing your ass off in the box.

I for sure, I would maybe. If you were the guy that went second in the finals and you were a couple away from winning with a minute and a half left, I would have to call time because I would be laughing so hard about it. You should let one of us pitch. No, because then you can just roll them all up there.

But just that image of being able to call time with like a minute left. It just looked just like two more homers watching you guys just be devastated over there on the it would be with your camcorder. Of course, I might tackle you. I might run out there and take out. Yeah. I might I might like have like a like, you know like a wrestling entrance have all three of my kids Just bring them out as human shield right before the end being like Christian you sure

Potentially would be maybe like one of my favorite career moments I want an MVP, but I think this would be pretty like even with that Oh, man, it'd be pretty even with that because 2019 was about to be pretty odd That was your best shot actually because I might have lost because Vlad he hit like 30 that yeah And that's who I was supposed to go up against and he hit like 30 and we were happy you didn't enter that Yeah, but I might a lot. I probably got bounced in the first round. It's 30 is a lot But you have 44 home runs that year. Yeah, but like game homers and like BP homers. That's a totally different totally different game I still don't think you have a swing for it. I feel strong. That's these guys

Yes or no home run derby, yeah, oh shit they're giving us a look How good does it feel to hit home run dude? Is it that same feeling where you don't even? Well some feel better than others, but yeah, yeah when you like really get one It still feels cool because I mean tell me if I'm way wrong, but like when you really barrel one up It's almost like you don't even swing because it just like goes you don't feel anything, right? You don't feel the ball off the bat. That's not it's a good feel. It's loud sounds loud. And yeah Yeah, it's pretty sweet never gets old you ever used a cork bat for batting practice. No Start rumors. Yeah get suspended. Well, you didn't batting practice somebody accidentally, but should start the rumors. Yeah, get suspended. Well, you

didn't batting practice somebody accidentally, but maybe we use a torpedo bat in the derby. That's fine. That you guys don't do it. No, don't do it. No, that's nothing involving the derby. Nothing involved. Don't do anything with nothing involved. And the balls are like super juice. Watch it on TV like the rest of us. Yeah, put in a good word to you were just saying that you need you know, it'd be nice to have a little summer you get a couple days off for the all-star break I'd be a fun way to spend all right well Christian thanks so much man we appreciate you stopping by and yeah just listen you want MVP let's just remember you're the MVP for life you don't want it to be like Christian Yelich he made

two guys eat each other's ass let's just keep it Christian Yelich. He made two guys eat each other's ass. Let's just keep it Christian Yelich MVP. But also on the home run derby. Yeah. But also a sweet trophy. Yeah, that is a sweet trophy. You get a truck? Do you get a truck?

You might get a truck. I think if you, that's All-Star Game MVP. Oh yeah. Did you get anything for being MVP? No, they give you like a plaque. Like a... No car? It's like a circle, no.

It's like a circle with your name on it. Oh, does MVP do you, did you get your gold card yet or no? Yeah, you do. Yeah. So you can go. That's the coolest thing ever that every eight years, eight years service time. Yeah. If you play eight years in major league baseball, you get a card that you can go into any game ever. I think they give you like the two best available tickets. If you like walk up to the box. So you can sit like pretty much anywhere you want. Yeah, it's just regular season games Oh, so like no playoff games or anything like that, or I don't even know if opening day or playoffs But then rest of the games. Yeah, apparently I've never obviously tried it yet. Well, let me have it. I'll try it Is it a physical card? Yeah, it's like a it's just a gold card with your name

It says like MLB lifetime pass on it your name. That's pretty that's a cool thing yeah it's a gold yeah basically like a gold credit card looking thing that's pretty sick alright Christian thanks so much man you got it guys Christian yellows is brought to you by our great friends at Shady Rays I'm wearing Shady Rays right now Hank is dipping out I'm here cool as a cucumber rocking the Shady Rays the best sunglasses in the world get ready for your next adventure with shades that Are built to last our friends at Shady Rays have you covered with premium polarized shades that won't break the bank Thank you can go.

He is the hottest name in DJing right now, hottest name in dance music. It is John Summit who, I'll say right now, I think the office is more a buzz, uh, for you to be here than like we've had, you know, NFL, MVPs, we've had, you know, big time guests and everyone's like, when's John summit coming in? So congrats to that. We're a little older, but everyone in this office is like, John summits coming. John summits coming.

So I love that. I mean, you guys can come to their show. Yeah. No, listen, I, listen, you have like a matinee that you do Yeah, how many so I want to get into your whole career because it's very fascinating but how long You do at least three hours every time that you do a set pretty much two hours now But it'll go from two to twelve hours depends on feeling and can you sit while you're listening? Okay, I'm you guys chairs, you know, sitting in the VIP. Yeah. So, so you are like the hottest name right now in DJing for, for people who don't know, he has had a crazy rise. So you, and the craziest part is that you were an accountant before this,

right? Yeah. I was working at Ernst and Young here in Chicago, actually. So how long were you an accountant for? A year and a half until they, uh, until we mutually parted ways. Okay. So you got fired. So does that mean like you were working on your side gig and they're like, Hey, we know that you don't care about actuarial tables. So I mean, I show up late to work every single day with like bloodshot eyes. Cause I'd be DJing at night and then, um, yeah, so you were the coolest accountant ever? I think that's the accountant. Yeah. Ben Affleck. Wait, so you, so wait, so go back. So University of Illinois, you started DJing there. You graduate, you're like, I'm going to be an accountant even though I love DJing. Yeah, because I wasn't making any money DJing. And so it was kind of just doing it as a hobby

and a passion. And so yeah, counting during the day, DJing at night. And then I was always reusing music on SoundCloud and everything like that too. Then it started going more and more viral. And then I started touring doing, I was only making like two, 300 bucks a night. And then it wasn't really until COVID and like the whole world locked down in 2020 where like all the TikToks and stuff started going like insanely viral. That's crazy. So your music on TikTok. Yeah. So as a DJ, you actually got bigger during COVID. Oh yeah. When everybody else was like, well, I can't, I can't DJ because there's no crowds anywhere.

Exactly. But I was like literally broke living at home. And then I think everyone else, especially like entertainers, like took it easy and like rested with their family and friends and stuff, where I was like putting out new songs every single day and just like going a hundred percent. Were you working in accounting still then? No, I got fired the year before okay the year before Alright, so so that that's fascinating So do you remember the tick-tock that you were like the first one where it was like? Oh shit people are using this and it's getting a lot of views but the song was called deep end if you've ever heard that one and

That was like the sound went viral But it was more so like just getting the fans and community and like growing from like 1000 followers to 10,000 to 100,000. So it wasn't like one specific song. Right. So if you're producing songs for TikTok, are you like, are you micromanaging your songs? Knowing that like, Hey, this seven second clip right here. Well, so I wasn't producing for TikTok. So I'd like actually release on Spotify and all that stuff too. But I would like

heavily market it on there and then do funny shit. And like I would like go on Instagram live every day, chugging white claws to my music and people thought that was funny for some reason. Yeah. It was like back when like, like I was DJing on Twitch every single day, you know, like when everyone was just sitting at home getting fucked up. Yeah. So as an accountant, were you, were you hiding your, your hobby from the people

at work or did you tell them like everybody there knew that you were DJ at night? I definitely hid the hobby. There's only like a couple people that knew. But then once eventually like I played Coachella in 2022 and like my senior manager came to the show. No shit. Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Yeah, like some of your coworkers, like do they text you being like, you, I hate you now. Yeah, pretty much. Like watching your vlogs, your jet setting around the world and whether they try to convince me like, like, like, you know, to stick with the accounting and stuff because they try, they don't like just fire you right away, especially in like big four accounting.

They try to coach you through it. But I was just like genuinely terrible. Yeah. Wait, so you, that means, I mean, you pass your CPA, right? That's, that's a hard test. Yeah, it wasn't fun. Yeah. Did you pass your first time? Pretty much all on my first time. I had to do like the tax one like three times. Okay. Now were you hiding your accounting life from the people that you were hanging out with at shows? Yeah. Oh, yeah. No way I talked about that. It's like a full like Batman like lifestyle for me. Do you do

ever miss anything about being an accountant? Like the stability, I guess. I mean, come on, dude. I like, I like to think of something. Oh, the camaraderie, the locker room with the boys, lunch breaks, the 20 minute lunch breaks you get. Yeah, no, no, I really don't miss anything from that. Yeah, I would imagine not. So what was the, uh, like, so, so the tick there, COVID happens, your TikTok start blowing up. Was there another moment where it was like, it went from, Oh shit, this is a fun little gig side project, something that I'm very passionate about too. Oh my God,

this is now going to change my life and I'm going to do this and be really good at it for a long time. I don't know. I was pretty delusional and I like convinced myself I was always going to make it, especially when I left the accounting role in 2019. And like to me, when I was like DJing, like 200 person clubs, I was like, Oh my God, I'm huge. I'm a big famous DJ, blah, blah, blah. And like, but then it just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And then yeah, it wasn't till like after COVID when all the festivals opened up and I did like Lollapalooza for the first time in 2022 and did the Perry stage there and that was like actually insane and I was like, oh shit, I think I can really make it with it.

Yeah, that is cool. So what is your songwriting process like? So I usually like for I just did an album last, it came out last July and then I write that in London. So I usually go there, write out like the chords and stuff with the vocalists and kind of just work from there. And then I do all my production in Miami right now. But I literally, I was just telling you before this, I produced in Chicago, just like a couple of blocks away from here for like eight, 10 years.

That's awesome. So you would like sit down with a piano or a guitar and a vocalist and you just like write the song that way. Yeah, it's just like super basic chords though. Cause then you can just write lyrics and like melodies off that. And then you just like write the song that way. Yeah, it's just like super basic chords though, because then you can just write lyrics and like melodies off that. And then you just get in the lab and start adding textures to it, all that stuff. How do you know when to stop adding stuff to the songs? That's a very good question. That's what most people struggle with. And I'm very good at finishing tracks.

Like in 2020, I literally did like a hundred tracks that year. And then it's just, you kind of just have to hit a certain point when you know it's good and you send it. I have a good like group of people that I send out to and they tell me that it's good and just kind of move on. Cause if you're listening to something that you're writing, you probably keep hearing things that you could add and you keep getting different ideas. Like, what if I put this high saw over top of it? And then you have to have somebody that tells you, Hey man, it's good as it is.

No, literally. I mean, when I did like shiver, I got to like version, which is like one of my big records. I got to version 27 and I kept sending it to people and they're like, dude, we literally can't tell the difference. Like, what are you doing? Right. I'm just like, you know, running in circles basically ship it. Whenever you put together a song, have you ever accidentally dropped the beat at the wrong point?

I like move it like shit. Well, I mean, I fuck up all the time. Yeah. But I'm good at covering my folk. Were you talking about when I'm DJing? No, no when you're actually writing a song Do you ever moved where you put where you drop the beat? Oh, that didn't work No, of course And then you like you just try different things and that's like how you stay interesting in dance music is when you bring in The drops and stuff when people don't expect it. We call that happy little accidents

Oh when you like do a little fuck up and you're like wait, that's actually kind of work. Yeah Wait, all right. So when you're actually DJing this is gonna sound really dumb. I apologize but Are you doing anything when you're at a show or you're just pressing the button? Yes, I'm doing things How much stuff are you doing? Well, it depends right? So it's like you can be doing three to four tracks at once Okay, you have extra layering and stuff like that too But um, it depends like what kind of set I'm doing. If I'm doing a,

like a club set, I don't come in there with any single game plan whatsoever. So I guess it would be kind of trying to dumb it down as much as possible right now. Like if I was just, uh, if you were to show up to a Vegas nightclub and I hand you the ox, I'm be like, yo, play for the next three hours. Right. But then you have to actually smoothly blend everything together, make sure it's all in key, make the phrasing everything's right, right? And you can get creative with it because I had extra acapella is on top

I cut out, you know the base and stuff right, you know So so that so in that and then what about if you have like a like festival set is that more set up? Depends yeah, cuz I'm very involved with the lighting and visuals and all of that. So it's like a whole production process So a lot of the work is done beforehand and cuz I don't know if you've seen like any of these shows at all, but everything's like time coded in sync. And then that's what we plan with the team and doing rehearsals and all of that. So festival, you're able to have a little more fun where you're just pressing a button. More or less. Yeah. I mean, I don't mean that. I mean, you created the music. So like, if I created the music I would be like yeah watch me press

the button I fucking made this. I got the best button in the world. You don't have a button like mine. But it's good to clear it up because obviously I'm so stupid. I think I watched some of your sets and you're obviously dancing getting in the crowd and that clearly is like part of what you have to do as a DJ. Of course because you have to have some of the performer aspect to it. And that's why now I'm bringing in like when I just did Kia Forum in LA, I did three nights there,

I brought like a whole orchestra. I saw that it was sick. So that was cool. And then you now like that visuals are such a big deal because I just played the sphere last month. Have you guys been there? I have been there. I'm actually going back for the dead. Yeah. Yeah. I'm so excited. And so that obviously a lot of the work is spent making visuals for that. Wait, did you do the Sphere just yourself? I played it before Anima. Okay. So he has that show.

It's insane, it's the biggest, it's the most expensive show you can possibly do. So I do plan on doing it in the future, but it's a big investment. Yeah. As a performer at the Sphere, do you ever get lost in the Sphere? Well, I was just like staring at the wall the whole time.

Yeah, I would get lost. I was tripping out a little bit. Yeah, it's pretty intense. What about, so Big Cat was saying like, you put the beat drop in the sphere? I was just like staring at the wall the whole time. Yeah, I was tripping out a little bit. Yeah, it's pretty intense. What about, so Big Cat was saying like you put the beat drop in the wrong place. What about when you take the beat away and you let the... You edge them? Yeah, you edge them. You let the anticipation go. What's the longest you've ever edged an audience?

Well, I was probably cooked while DJing. This is when I play in Miami and I do like the very long sets and I'll edge them for a good five to seven minutes. Oh, that's awesome. Especially, I mean if it's like if I gotta go to the bathroom too, I'll put on a loop and then go in one. And they have no idea what's going on. Yeah. Are you are you partying when you're DJing or you I saw that you did the the Colorado or the Veil shows sober? No, not the Veil shows over the shows after that. Okay, not sober. It depends. Please strike that from the record. I mean, there is like a stretch of years where I was like

drinking party like five nights a week, and it was just getting like too much and I was getting too wrapped up in it. And then that obviously affected my performance a little bit. So now it's like a pick and choose my battles. Yeah. Like Vegas, I do 20 times a year. That's so easy to me. So now I'm taking shots during that. Yeah. Yeah.

But these big shows, especially when you do things like Coachella, Lollapaloo's and stuff. Yeah. You have to be. Yeah. Pretty. Yeah. How, when you're, when you're DJing like a club, how hot of a girl does the girl have to be for you to put on her song?

We talk about a half out of ten. Yeah, wait wait so when they have like a song request. No. Yeah, they're just like hey John I want you to play this song you like They could be really hot if they have to have great vibes and great What if what if a guy like me came up to you and I'm like, can you play free bird? I'm going to have to say no to that. Say no to free bird. What if I had a hundred? My vibes are great. Yeah, the vibes are great. I might be able to mix it in somehow. Yeah. What if I had a hundred K cash?

I was like, Hey dude, I need free bird right now. Free bird's coming. Okay. Can you, can you talk to us again? Like we're six years old and explain to us, uh, what is the difference between free bird and free bird? I mean, I'm not sure. I mean, I'm not sure.

I mean, I'm not sure. I mean, I'm not sure. I mean, I'm not sure. I mean, I'm not sure. I mean, I'm not sure. I need free bird right now. Okay Can you talk to us again like we're six years old and explain to us What is the difference between EDM house? Yes, no, so EDM is kind of an all-encompassing term that was like created by Americans So like Europeans and the rest of world hate it So it's like and I was like a snob But because I did oh I started making underground music and tech house and like, stuff you hear like the warehouse parties and stuff here. Um, and so I kind of avoid that term for the longest time, but it basically

means all dance music means electronic electronic dance music. Yeah. And then, uh, house is just four on the floor, you know, kick clap hat. And then techno, it's like just a kick. I mean, you probably know techno when you hear exactly, exactly. Got it. And then, you know, disco and then techno, it's like just a kick. I mean, you probably know techno when you hear it. Exactly. Exactly. Got it. And then, you know, disco and then, yeah, but now all these genres are all mashed. And during my sets, I play everything. I play like dubstep to house to everything. And how much, like, are you allowed to just sample off other people? I never understood that. Like DJ, you can do whatever you want. Really? Yeah. So I sample

everything and anything. And do they ever come after you or say like, Hey, what are you doing? Well, they, they know, cause I think people like their songs getting spread. Like when I go to like EDC, for example, I hear my song everywhere, but in a different flip and a different style. Yeah. And then like, I just like did like a Britney Spears remix, like made it in my hotel room, two hours before my set last week in Sydney. And now we're already figuring out how to get that officially cleared. Yeah, that's awesome. Give her a simple podcasts. Oh, you guys have a good old tagline or something. Yeah. Yeah. Just big cats in the bears back. Yeah. And 50 saying shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up Hank. We go. Maybe just Hanks yawn would

be good too. That's a good way to ruin a podcast. I think that would work when I play in Chicago. Yeah. Yeah. Wouldn't this part of be better if it was a podcast? No, it would never be better. So we have so Max, our normal producer, is a huge fan of yours. He's sick. His diarrhea. He's got diarrhea, his puking. But his best friend, Jackie Tables, he is a huge John Sumit fan. So he's I think he saw you all three nights in Chicago

Then he went on vacation to see you no veil in veil you went to Tahoe. So he just he goes everywhere that you go. Jack. Do you have some questions for John? Yeah, sure. They told me about ten minutes before I was doing this. So I apologize. I suck One do you miss performing at spy bar? And if you do perform there again, can meet big cat and PFT come? I do kind of miss perform there. Have you guys ever been there before? Of course. Okay.

Yeah. I have not. And then that's where I played a lot in like 2017, basically to COVID. Um, but yeah, if I did there, it'd have to be a little pop-up set. Cause the last time I was here in Chicago, I did a pop-up at portilla. I saw, yeah, Jack was there. So I was out that one too. Yeah, that was fucking lit. But yeah, I Spyvar it has to be so low-key.

Like low-key low-key? Yeah yeah well I kind of just show up I kind of like just showing up and starting play places and people being like oh fuck. I think it's kind of high-key low-key. Yeah that's true. But I'm gonna announce the date or anything I'm gonna start doing it because otherwise you have like a line around the block. whole fucking. We didn't get the invite. No, yes. You got that was definitely not part of that. Invite from Jack was just like, can I come to the show? Yeah. I'll make big cat and PF. Cause you feel I have three kids. I'm not going to the show, but Jack is going to go. If I was to, where would you want to see me play? If I was to play in Chicago, the father of three, uh three My backyard just for me and my kids. Could you do like a kids bop set?

My kids have their birthdays coming up that would be might have to might have to get John summit for my kids I'm down. No, I would like to see you live It's just a he you know, I can't go to Tahoe to see you. Which looked insane. Of course, no, that was awesome. The ski resorts. All right, Jack, what's your other question? What's the worst thing someone has done behind the DJ booth? Oh, good question. I mean, you have all the usual things like.

Played levels. Yeah. Like drugs, like puking. I saw a girl in the booth. Steal the tequila. Oh yeah, but that's the the booth. I saw the girl steal the tequila bottle. Oh yeah, but that's the worst thing you can do, is steal my tequila bottle. Oh no.

Have you seen this video? No. Yeah, like three people said, like, oh John, so I'm just gonna, you gotta ask me about the time the girl stole the tequila bottle. I'm gonna look it up right now. Yeah, please, please. She just jacked your tequila bottle?

No, no, I shoot her off, but she got pretty killed by the internet after that. Yeah, I mean that's a big no-no. You can't reach on stage. Yeah, while I'm DJing, that's ridiculous, right the internet after that. Yeah. I mean, that's a big no, no. You can't reach on stage. Well, I'm DJing. That's ridiculous. Right? Yeah, that's crazy. When you were when you when you. Oh, here it is. Oh, here it is. Oh, oh, out of your hand.

I was like, no, I get the. Oh, that's insane. He's like, straight for the pole. That's a good bottle. Yeah, that's an insane move to try to grab it out of your hand. Tampa, though. So that kind of behavior is kind of expected. Yeah, true. Yeah. That's an insane move to try to grab it out of your hand. It was in Tampa though, so that kind of behavior is kind of expected there. Yeah, true. Yeah, that's

fair. So when you're up on stage and you're DJing and you're sober, if you're taking a night off, are you like, holy shit, everyone's really bad at dancing? Well, I'm just like, holy shit, everyone looks crazy. Yeah. I mean, especially like in our scene where then you have people just take everything in anything, you know, and I'm like, oh shit, is this what I normally look like? Yeah. I try not to think about it. Yeah What uh, what what are you like like friends, you know from Illinois or yeah childhood friends think like do they go to your show?

Yeah, no, they go to all those shows. It's awesome. Like I'm meeting up with them after this Love it. And what about your parents were they I'm sure they were super supportive of you living a big four Yeah for a DJ Yeah, and then when I left the accounting world, my mom was like crying her eyes out So I kind of had to figure it out for myself for a year, but that's like motivation, right? Yeah, and also you could flip it on him now. Yeah, he's like look at me now Yeah, now they go to every now they have too much fun, right? You know, like send them home sometimes Yeah, no my mom did not want me to like, she's like, you can't be a blogger blogger. There's no, there's no

future in that. And I remind her every day. I'm like, you're getting like a three star, you know, you know, old folks home. Yeah. Yeah. Like at max. How many years did it take for her to realize? Oh, she still probably wishes I was like a lawyer or something, which I would have never been able to pull off. But yeah, there's just, I mean, it I mean it's an unorthodox job so. What kind of benefits does she get? Do you ever get here like free tickets to a sports game? Yeah I pay for all her vacations now so yeah that's pretty nice. Yeah yeah I mean there are perks but also if you're talking to older people and you're trying to explain what you do for a living I'm sure that can like that's that's a long conversation to have they're like what do you do I'm a DJ wait, like on the radio. Yeah, I just say like entertainer and then cuz I have like a Vegas residency and they're like

Oh, so you're like Elvis. I'm like Have you noticed though that your name now like when you say it like DJ and then you say John Some of the people are starting to recognize it more. Maybe the older people as well like my own name my own name? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's gotta make it easier. Oh, yeah. It's like saying like, I'm a blogger and then you have to be like, partial sports. It's kind of, it's kind of a good thing though, because you don't want to be like a full on household name. Like it's kind of scary if I got to like the Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift

level, right? You can't like leave your house or anything. Do you get like, do you get stopped if you walk down the street today? Would you have a bunch of people noticing you? Yeah, decent amount, but it's normally just like, John, what's up? Oh, that's good. But not like really kind of like interrupting my day or anything. That's a good spot to be. I mean, you guys get stopped for selfies all the time here.

Yeah. I mean, it's fun. It's a good problem to have. Yeah. It's like people are very nice in real life. But I'm sure it's even worse in your own domain. Cause like if I'm in like a festival or a club, it's really bad. So for you guys at a sporting event, it's probably really bad. yes. Yeah. Yeah, I want to say bad, but you know

No, it's all it's all good Like I say I would much rather that be the problem than having nobody ask me for a picture Yeah, people are so much nicer in real life. Yeah, they are online. Oh my god. Yeah I've had some trouble just like with Twitter and stuff recently because people are fucking relentless there, man Oh, tell us where we could help you out. You want to see will be an army for you. What's the what's the problem? It's just all bullshit and it's just mostly because I think I've gotten really big and you know Like when it just an easy target kind of thing. Yeah We it's weird seeing like internet turn on you sometimes out of nowhere and you're like what the fuck is this all about?

Online culture is basically built on building people up in the minute they get to the top. You'd be like, fuck that guy, we hate him. But I always wonder, I'm like, should I take like the, cause like, Portnoy, for example, he just fights right back and always has and I think always will. Yeah. I'm always like, should I take that stance?

But then when I do it, it ruins my whole day. Cause then I'm on my phone for like 18 hours and I'm reading it all and I'm like, fuck, I gotta actually make music, not just Yeah. for yeah on the internet It's like Dave's Dave's job is kind of to do that Good yeah, you have a different job. That's kind of unrelated from clapping back at people online Yeah, and and his provides legitimate entertainment correct. Just get a burner

So what's what's like next for you you? Are you working on a new album? Is there a festival you want to play? Is there what's what are like or have you kind of reached the level, the high level, highest level? Yeah, the summit of DJ. I don't think I've reached the summit yet. I mean, there's more music. I've only done one album so far and all my favorite artists

have done multiple. And then I still got to do some big things, like in Chicago. Can't announce anything yet, but the next shows will be very big here. Oh. But then I'm starting to do, the goal is to do festivals with the Expertonly brand and the label I have too, and signing a bunch of new artists

and kind of just growing the whole scene in general. Oh, that's very cool. What would you say is the best electronic song of all time? And why is it Sandstorm? Sandstorm's up there, man. Best electronic song of all time and why is it sandstorm? Sandstorms up there man. Best electronic song of all time though. I mean, I'm just a huge dead mouse fan at heart. So I love strobe. That was the first time I ever saw electronic music was like here at Lapluzza when I was in high school was

seeing dead mouse and that blew my mind. You were instantly like, yes, this is this is my life now. Yep. I liked bands and stuff, especially throughout high school. But it wasn't until I saw that show I was like, holy shit This is what I can do and then I then you can just go home just download the program on your computer I don't I don't use anything but my laptop to make music. Wait. Yes, so you were fully self-taught, right? Yep. So how did you play any instruments growing up? Yeah, like elementary piano

Okay, I just learned it all and do it all on your laptop nowadays It's so you just you taught yourself what with like YouTube videos and stuff? That's crazy. Yeah. And all the programs are awesome nowadays. And you can just, you can just draw in all the notes and everything. Yeah. But then I work with, now I work with like actual vocalists and stuff like that too.

So it's kind of like working with a band now when I make music. Yeah. Yeah. Have you thought about doing, you might do this already, but in electronic music at large, has there been a lot of crossover between live bands like rock bands and then adding in the electronic? Well, so Zed at Coachella this past weekend just had John Mayer come out during his set. That's cool.

And then he did like a live version of Clarity and stuff. And I thought that was really sick. So, and that was kind of like the shit that we were listening to in college, if you remember the Zed era and Clarity and all that. So yeah, I think just evolving the music and kind of turning it into a full live experience, especially with AI and stuff nowadays, I think people crave seeing live music.

Right. How does AI incorporate into this? Because I feel like that's that I can tell AI still when I hear it. Yes. But I think 5, 10 years from now, I don't know if anybody's going to be able to tell the difference. But it could never replicate the live experience though.

So maybe AI can make a Spotify song, maybe like all that's gonna be like, you know, robot generated like who fucking knows. It's kind of creepy that you can like type in like house song, it'll just make a house song out of nowhere. But you can't beat a live show. And that's the one thing I think some DJs lack is that they just, you know, I think adding in all these extra elements will make it dope. No vibes from AI. No. Negative aura. Are you gonna have John Mayer do a show with you? No I'm trying to think of someone else. It's gotta be creative and unique. Who's a

younger John Mayer? Who here plays guitar? I don't know. I'm kind of like a younger John Mayer. Yeah. How old is John Mayer? I think we're older than him. Are we older than John Mayer? Maybe not. I think I am a younger John Mayer. Yeah John Mayer older than him. We are not I think I am a younger John Mayer Yeah, John Mayer. No, you can be a newer John Mayer. He's 47. He's been around forever. He's old Yeah, if you want to be John Mayer, I know him. I met him once Yeah, pretty much best friends. I met him once for was he playing with the dead when you went? Yeah Yeah, he's he's the best So this is another dumb question. I feel like this I just build this up my head Was he playing with the dead when you went there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's sick. Yeah, he's the best.

So this is another dumb question. I feel like this, I just build this up in my head, but having a residency at Vegas has to be like the coolest thing ever. Do you have like a penthouse at the place you're doing it? It's kind of like a main suite, yeah, and it has like a pool table, it's big, it has my own separate room. So you just get to party all weekend when you're doing it? Pretty much, yeah.

It's in the same building as the club So then when I'm done with the site, you know, you just take the party upstairs pretty much. Yeah Now that like you're massive you're big you've got to the residency going on Do you have to force yourself to adhere to that same schedule that got you to that place where you're like? I have to I have to put in work. I got right songs. Like how do you manage having the best time ever with also being dedicated to me? Well, I'm also, I'm also like extreme workaholic and I do credit the accounting and the CPA and all that for instilling discipline.

And I think most artists don't have any discipline at all. And even with working out and stuff too, I have a pretty good schedule like Monday through Friday. But I mean, you guys know how it is that if you like work your ass off during the week, then the weekend's so much more fun. The party never ends. And it's like, I used to get swept up in the mass like that. I imagine. Yeah. But I got Vegas this weekend. So I'm just like, yeah. So we ask, uh, we've had, you know, people on from all walks of life, we've done Dungeons

and Dragons, we've had professional bowlers. Uh, I, and Dragons we had professional bowlers I and what we hit a Rubik's Cube master yeah the best in the world yeah so and we asked all of them this question like how are the chicks pretty good the chicks like so you as good as the Dungeons and Dragons no they can't be there's no way Freaky I'm curious. What was their answer for that? Guy is swimming in it. Yeah, yeah Weber. He's ladies man. I ran into the Rubik's Cube guy down at the Jersey Shore one time He was at a bar that I was at I was like, hey man. Good to see you again What brings down here? He's like, let me look around the room I mean look around the room

Also, I know that like you DJs like they kind of because the old Diplo tweet that doing girls is cool But doing work lasts longer and more fulfilling that is pretty cool. Did boy said that? Yeah, he said yeah doing girls is cool Yeah fact confirmed. Yeah, but doing work lasts longer and more fulfilling took me 35 years to figure it out So, I don't know if you figured it out yet, but I figured that out like doing girls very cool. It's still cool We're not cool We're not trying to say that doing girls isn't cool. It's the work hard play hard Yeah, yeah, Pete Weber is that the bowler? That's like whoever you think you yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah actually today's the anniversary of that Oh, yeah, yeah, and he's swimming in it. He is oh, yeah Well, I think he might be married might be married, Yeah. And he's swimming in it. He is. Oh, yeah

Well, I think he might be married. He might be married, but he was he was if he wasn't married dog. Yeah Yeah, jackie. You got any more questions? Yeah, you do. You got a question. Come on. You want to John you want to be my best friend? I did well, yeah, I do but uh, I heard a rumor You worked at mcdonald's in college. Is that true? No, I didn't work at mcdonald's Okay, no, I just worked at the bar and then I got fired from the bar and then I still wanted to work at the bar. I was at, it's called right away and they're like, well, we need a DJ. So that was like the start of my DJ career. How much did they pay you? I got like a hundred bucks a night. That's not bad. Not bad at all. Yeah.

College that's like a hundred drinks. You got to fix the McDonald's thing. I also saw it like online. So you were five, six. That's what I'm saying. He's these Twitter haters. How tall are you? I'm I'm I'm six one. Okay. Okay. All right. So confirmed because I saw that and I was like, Oh shit, John, some of his, if I was going to come here, I thought you were going to come in here and put you in my back pocket and be like, Hey kids, I brought this DJ home. That doesn't rock though DJ home Every time you get fired from a job you get better at DJing. Yes. Yeah Do you do your own taxes? Not anymore? Okay, so you were you did at one point

Isn't there a good Jay-Z line that took my accountants got an accountant. That's yeah, that's the goal now Yeah, I feel like you might at some point just want to crack your knuckles and be like I'm going back to the old me Well, I gotta do that for like my business and stuff too. And I do like, you know, audit my business. You should go back to your old office. Yeah. Should I? Yeah. That would be a very funny video vlog. Just showing up. Kind of suppress that from my memory. How long were you, how, how long were you actually an accountant?

Like a year and a half. Okay. Yeah. So now, yeah, that's good enough to be able to suppress it. If it was like five years, it'd be tough. I feel like at those companies, they go through so much turnover too, when you're even being the same people. Yeah. I love the idea of you coming in like in Fight Club, like Edward Norton. He comes in, he's got like a banged up face every day because he's getting beat up at night. You come in, you just got red eyes because you've been up all night DJing.

That's literally what it was though. Yeah. Because I would do full on benders though, to like, because my set times would be like four to seven AM at these warehouses. That's crazy. So I imagine that being a DJ, your sleep schedule is all off. Oh, it's completely fucked. Do you ever go to bed before 11? I did last night. Oh, there you go. Had a nice wholesome night. I went to Duck Duck Goat here in West Loop.

Great. Awesome restaurant. Yeah. Very cool. So when you go to sleep that early, is your body like, what the hell's going on, dude? Pretty much, because then I woke up at three, like completely is your body like what the hell's going on, dude? Pretty much cuz then I woke up at 3 like completely disoriented And I just got back from Australia too. So I'm all fucked up. Yeah, like somebody out there's party. Yeah, it's not me Wait, so when do you sleep like if you do like you sleep just during the day? Uh Sometimes yeah, but then I wait to the flights like Australia that was like a 22-hour flight. Yeah, okay that makes sense So that was nice. Yeah, are there any any other DJs that you like really respect what they're doing right now up-and-coming guys

We should be aware of up-and-coming guys Dante the John the guys I work with on the label right now max style or and late in Jared on you're absolutely fucking smashing it And then I'm trying to think of guys you would know at all I mean if you just found out who I am you probably don't know too much of this Yeah, I would I would you know what it is So I I so when they this is probably six months ago where it was like John Summit John Summit John Summit and I listened to one your son's like I know this song So it's like one of those things you hear the song before you well

It's tough to cuz it's like cuz I'm like the producer on the records. I'm not the one singing right It's not like super obvious, you know, it's like Bieber or wherever like the producer on the records. I'm not the one singing right. It's not like super obvious You know, it's right Bieber wherever the fuck Billy. I wish yeah I mean who are the DJs when you're back in college days? Jesse Jeff Yeah, okay Calvin Harris, yep, yeah, I like Calvin Harris, yeah, I'm really dating myself Yeah, that era was nuts though because they were like full on pop stars I feel like yeah, but it's just the world has a little changed a little bit Yeah, it does it is weird that that Calvin was collabing with like Rihanna and right that yeah

I haven't done any like big pop star class. Who would you want to work with? I can give Rihanna a shout out right now take her out retirement. Yeah, I don't know who I don't work with I know I I really like what Charlie XCX is doing right now I think that's fucking dope. Yeah, I've seen any of the clips from her shows at all. Yeah, also white panda I should have said them. I wish I was Yeah, I don't know if they keep doing it no girl talk. You remember them? Yeah. Yeah, they were great Why painted the the yearly like end of the year mashup was awesome I'll be like an hour long with We'd probably be in my basement with all my friends

drinking like water bottle vodka. Yeah. And put that shit on. Just put it on for an hour drive? Get you there fast. All right, I got one last question. Rowback question, R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com promo code take. 20% off first purchase, Q-zips, polos, hoodies,

joggers, shorts, rowback.com promo code take. All right, so I asked you, this has been so much fun, John. We appreciate you coming by. And I do want to go to a show. We got to figure that out Jack Jack will probably be how many times you've actually seen John Like seven or eight. Okay, nice jacks on guest list. Yeah I'll tell you off camera with word. It's a security Full cavity search when comes in what's the longest set you've ever done? Uh, that's been 12 hours.

And you were standing up the whole time? The entire time. Yeah. How did you do that? Did you have to take a shit during it? I can't go 12 hours. I mean a decent amount of Adderall, you know, that keeps you going. That's crazy. How tired were you after? Oh, so fucking spent. You had to be carried home after that. Yeah. Yeah, that was awful. How tired were you after? Oh, so fucking spent. You had to be carried home after that. Yeah. Yeah, that's brutal. But then the whole crowd was still there the whole time.

And then when I get off there, you start booing. They're like, no, stay on. You guys are fucking crackheads. 12 hours. And then it's like 2 PM on a Tuesday, too. What's the most surreal place you've ever DJed? Surreal? Hmm.

I think Bali, I did this one set. It's on YouTube. It's just fucking epic. Have you ever been out there? No. No. I've seen it. Yeah.

Have you done Ibiza? Obviously. Yeah. I'm doing like four headline dates there, so I'm starting like a residency thing. You basically just get full-time jobs in the best cities in the world. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Ibiza's kind of like the European Vegas in a sense, except with the gambling. I don't

know if you guys have been in the party sense. No, not really. Yeah. Yeah. You just travel to the coolest places. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty damn sick. That's not the worst job. I think about it. Have you ever thought about just like going to a, go into a random brunch place and showing up, setting up a table? Yeah. Just get given like a bachelorette party party the time of their lives. Maybe I should. That would be fun. What was it? They had this one brunch spot when I was in

Chicago that I like, I don't know if it's still a thing. I think that the whole scene is different. Before COVID and after COVID. Yeah. But it really is. It's I mean, congrats on all the success. I really don't think there's ever a bigger gap between accountant and like world famous DJ. It's an awesome story. I feel like I'm living in a simulation right now.

I pinch myself every now and then. It's a really cool story, so congrats for everything. And yeah, I would love to come out to a set and we appreciate you stopping by, man.

Oompa.ompa Oompa

It's a hard in ball room PFT. Uh-huh hard him damn entertain a gaggle of man children in their grown-up playground fun factory Featuring a big burly beefy boy who recently made his own chocolate river. Hopefully Pennsylvania with Sal pal maxi bing-bong a sports spoiled heir to the Taco Bell throne who can't eject himself from the factory quite high enough to dunk but always enough to get in a quick nine and a man boy so focused on drowning his Jets fandom with screen time that it's literally his name but no amount of memes can get you that lottery ball.

I played well Five par threes ten over I had four sixes on on out of five. So would you shoot? Five par threes ten over I had four sixes on on out of five parts. So would you shoot? 96 oh real quick though Hank when you you had to do math real quick to figure out how many holes you played You know, that's how many holes live plays every weekend. Mm-hmm your favorite league. Yeah, do you watch religiously?

I watched live this week and live was so how did you know? Yeah, I played three rounds of golf. Oh, yeah, that's just like the pros. Yeah It was a great, great live leaderboard this week.

You gotta have love. I feel like I have 18 kids and I want to see them as much as possible Welcome to part of my take the show where the intelligent host makes themselves sound dumber to be funny

While the dumber host uses words like quintessential all the time to make themselves sound more intelligent Produced by two guys who look like they would work in a food truck if they didn't land this job You can always expect they get the pot out on time One barely ever speaks so you don't have to worry about him so much the fat one speaks enough for both of them Five-star show but which one of us uses quintessential. I do I guess I think that would be me Max is a food truck guy though That is spot-on. I would love I would love to you should yeah If you like put on some pajama bottoms like maybe Simpsons or South Park you would be a perfect line cook Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not a diss. Mm-hmm. I can see you. Yeah, like pulling your hair back real tight Wearing the flowy pants, maybe some sort of giant head wrap that you have on I'm actually just describing the Taliban right now. Mm-hmm

You look good in the Taliban. No, should we show them? So you can show the videos on YouTube? Yeah. I don't know if we can. Why not? It's just a Photoshop. Or was it real? There's a video.

Max had a bomb strapped to his chest at the way. Wait, can I see the video? It's very funny. I mean, we're not. Can you play the video? Just blur it out. But let us react to it. They're like all my text messages.

All right. So yes, you don't even you don't have them. OK. Oh, he does have them. Max, when did you get those in your text messages? Because Quigs is Quigs is a terror.

That's the problem. Did he send that to you? We have a terrorist that works in this company. Did he send those to you while you were at the White House? Yes. They probably saw that the the people that monitor your phones. Okay. I guess. I don't know. I didn't open it.

Oh my god, Max. This is a huge gun that you have. Quigs is a terrorist. On the front lawn? What the hell, Max? Oh no, he's got a he's got a bomb Are those real I think we could show those on YouTube to say that following image is not real yeah Doctor we can't well me at least on social yeah, we could tweet about Yeah, you can you can tweet it out. I call the bomb okay bombs very funny Yeah, you can tweet it out. I call the bomb. Okay bombs very funny Okay, yes, I'm just going back to my spot

Let me know where your back to your spot. Yeah, tell us tell us give us the sign when you're back at your spot All right back, okay an insecure walrus on ozempic and his Pokemon card dealer wife hosts a podcast with spoiled brat son and the overweight family bulldog where they attempt occasionally coherent yet entertaining discourse regarding almost sports a nervous group of juveniles whom I can't help but imagine with underbites chime in from their holding pen every now and then would recommend. I like that. That was very nice. I do like the name holding pen. Yeah. maybe put a big holding pen the pug pen the pug

man that's good the holding pen you guys look good in there we saw so I was trying to figure out if I had an underbite and it's also so funny that you guys we were like hey decorate the holding pen and you guys literally just made a eight-year-old's bedroom. It is nice. What else you want? What else you want for it? Nothing. I'm saying I like it. It's very funny. I think me and Big Cat should lock you in there during the shows though. Dude I went in there the other day and it smelled so bad. You already said this on the last show. I don't but I gotta say it again because it was so bad. What are you doing in there? It is so fucking hot in here and there is zero ventilation

at all. That's a fact. It was nice out in Chicago. It is the air is not on. There's there is no vents in here. There's no vent. The funniest thing with our cause we've been in this studio for a year and a half now. The funniest thing is we just still have the R Kelly TV that we've never turned on. That is one of the dumbest things that has ever been put in a studio. There's a soup for people who don't know what I'm talking about behind the cameras Yeah, there's a small TV right above the glass that is it's blinking right now. What it? What is it? Does it go on? We ever turned it on I think it was meant for you guys watched it was no

How do you watch it was meant for interviews, but how would you how would we ever think the interviews would good? Oh, it does turn on That's it we got it's a Michael Scott is it it's a Michael Scott TV I know it's hooked up to power, but does it have like an input. I don't think so Good job Pete fucking idiot I think so. Good job, Pete. Fucking idiot. Come drinker.

It is the size of a large iPad and it's about 15 to 25 feet away from me. So far away from us. All right, last one. Yeah. I can't roast you guys because I just love this cast so much. I always, I enjoy like when people call us.

Just turn on. Casts or like someone came up to me in person. It's like kind of kind of me to you guys too. But when they're like, you're my favorite character on the show. It makes me feel like not a real person. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Like you're an actor. Yeah. Yeah. At our sitcom. But I just want to say thank you so much for all the podcasts. I will hopefully make you feel old though. I graduated high school about the same time the show came out 2016 I now dropped out of college have a career house wife and kid I like they put dropped out of college like instead of graduated from college.

Hello. You went to Italy. I did. Killed the Pope. Killed the Pope. Did not do that. Fuck some Italian broads. Oh, sounds like he didn't kill the Pope.

Leave any gifts behind? Will you have any Italian children? I mean, I'm Italian, so probably. OK. Yeah, true. Good point. You got me on a technicality. How was it, though? It was cool, yeah.

I always wanted to go to Italy, so it was like a nice check off the bucket list. I wouldn't say it was necessarily fun, but it was like cool. Why? It was a solo trip to Italy. Yeah, that should be fun. You didn't have any fun? I mean, it was like something I always wanted to do but it wasn't like oh

This is like I'm having the time of my life here. You know you never thought about staying No, I was like by the last day the night before I left I got McDonald's because I just need Did they have the same stuff on the menu they did but their proportions are terrible Oh, no, I got like a I usually get like a large meal So I got a large drink and it was like the size of a small here with the drinks Yeah, probably a good thing and the fries are yeah, it's like a small fire I was at the movie theater last weekend. I got a small drink. The small drink was probably 54 ounces. Yeah, it was insane. Yeah So good trip though. Yeah, it was good trip is really cool. You missed us. I did. Yeah. Okay. Did you miss sports?

Actually, yeah because I actually watched the NFL draft which in Italy was at 3 a.m Oh, so I was up for like from 3 a.m. To like 6 a.m And then they like wiped out my whole day. Would you grade the Chargers? Wait? Hold on. So you went to Italy, and you watched the NFL Draft, and then the days after the NFL Draft, you just didn't do anything? Well, no, the day, so I left Saturday, the draft was Thursday night, right?

So that day I just slept in until like one or two, and then I just hit restaurants for the rest of the day. So it's fun. What a great, I mean, yeah, it's a great trip. I couldn't not watch the draft. Yeah, no, you have to watch the draft. Yeah. That's how the Chargers do. I'm pretty happy happy with everyone hates on like the Amarion Hampton pick

But I bet him 16 to 1 win offense. Yeah Everyone's like nausea Harris, but like nausea is like a one-year deal. Yeah. Yeah, he's gonna be gone that picture They showed of Amarion Hampton. He looks jacked shaking Harbaugh's hand yeah huge huge beast what Hank what what do you want to say the draft is the stupidest if there's one event you could not watch it's the draft the people that go to the draft are insane to me like weirdest sports fans of all times and like watching the draft for an extended period of time doesn't make a lot of sense to me never has never will yeah well you thought

pretty fun last year the ten minutes the Patriots like yeah and then I stopped watching mm-hmm I do agree that like if you if you go to the draft in person yeah that's kind of weird move because the draft from even like a media standpoint you just stand there right and just look at a stage Yeah All right for 30 teams that aren't yours. Yeah 31 31 and Yeah, I mean the draft is weird to go to in person. I went to it once in Chicago I was like this is boring, but I also went to like the second day. It is fun to bugadel though

Yeah, actually thank you to people that do that after you went the Super Bowl and he's coming out to bring a little party But you know to each their own everyone has a different time Shut the fuck up Hank I do want to say though because I was kind of mean to people that choose to go to the draft they do fulfill very important oh, which is Taboo Roger Goodell and number two because I love watching you with your weird hats Yeah, and the outfits that you put on like thank you for that. No those the people who go to the draft are The foundation the bedrock of the NFL they go to the draft so we don't have to go to the trip

Yeah, like those are the the salt of the earth, you know where and I because when the draft was here in Chicago I went in the interview to bunch them. They all know each there's like a network of super fans super fans yeah I love them they're the best they make the world go around they deserve all the credit yeah they are the shield alright so you got us gifts I did and well he's not here should probably preface I got everyone but but Max presence yeah all right you want to open yours first Hank yeah or memes you get one I got one all right let's know what you got Are these joke gifts or real gifts? I mean

What'd you get? It's a coffee mug with a pair of titties Oh hell yeah, sorry so the joke was joke gifts Did we all get that? That would have rocked. Yeah We all just opened up a coffee mug with a pair of titties. What'd you get Hank? I think this is like a mini ashtray with the Roma Coliseum or what is this? It's an ashtray. Yeah, it's cool. Anything in there things on there. Yeah, why are there? Why are there? Tissues? There's no tissue paper. So who's a lupa? Who's this lupa cow? Tissues? That's like the I Don't know.

I did not I was all but it was for I was looking They don't let you carry meatballs across the boy was looking everywhere like meatball Related things and I that's just like an American stereotype by fear max. Did you poop yourself? Yes, if you shit yourself I Like memes being like max is like max is an old man and memes is caretaker

What happened your leak or show and yeah, this is Kirk Herbstreet. Yeah, no. Yeah, he asked you a question I did not shit myself. Okay.

I mean, I got, I got a Pope Bobble head like I'm a fucking pizza Bala guy and I got a fucking dead Pope Bobble head. I mean, specifically asked for the mug. I collect mugs. All right. Just so we're clear for any future trips you take, Shane, they're outside of sports I would say my two favorite things in the world are coffee

and tits. Okay. The only other the only other mug like that was one with the statue of David's penis on it. I would have been funny. That would have been funny. I would have been funny. But I would have let I if you if you see any breast stuff or coffee stuff me. Would you get yourself Shane? importantly. I got a Like I didn't want to get something from like a souvenir shop, so I got like a real Italian leather like engraved. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. Do you want to trade it for the Pope bobblehead? That's dead Should I come back with some Hawaiian some Hawaiian? Yes. Yeah, I like that also just a point of clarification How did that work that did memes say before you left? He's like, hey if you see any coffee mugs with tits

I want it. I asked everybody if there's like a type of souvenir they want and he said coffee and he said coffee mug I was like I have to get this I just like the idea of memes just being like hey I know you're going halfway around the world. But if you got any of those titty coffee mugs, get me one, man It's good. How do you like yours? Yeah, it's good. I don't really smoke but I like it What do you what do you think about my dead pope? Uh, you well that he's dead. You get a statue of a dead guy up there So that's cool. Yeah, that's one of the good popes, right? Yeah, I think so. I don't know beat the accusations no accusations I think the part I like about it is that it's so small. You can't even tell it's a bobblehead It's also a throwback pope because that's that's the pope from like 40 years ago. Yeah, it's a young pope Francesco

I had luggage. I couldn't get like the biggest pop. Oh, yeah No, you know you clearly didn't get the biggest bobblehead there You actually got the smallest bobblehead there ever was I can you zoom it? Do you even are you able to get it? Can you even see it? You know, I like it. Shane, you know what it is though? Honestly, anyone who brings back any gift, it is the thought to count. It is. You know what? And you say that when you get a shitty gift. It is the thought to count. I think I might, I might start smoking just because of that yeah because of this you're welcome. I might start collecting Pope Bobble wagon Thank you Shane glad to have you back appreciate you Shane. Sorry. Appreciate you a lot alright Look at him. He's so fucking ready
