Duke, Duke's Duke's bubble has been burst. They lose to North Carolina state. No, this is, um, full disclosure for the AWLs. We could get a little loopy here because we just watched 12 hours of basketball nonstop. My eyes feel like they're going to fall out of my head. I love every second of it. That's not a complaint. It is more of an explanation if my words don't work correctly. We could do without overtime though. Those are the seconds I could do without. Overtime

is a sword to the stomach. If you have any sort of action, because you never win an overtime bet. No, never. It's always dogs go to die. Dogs die there. Unders go to die there. We do have, we should probably talk about, I want want to I want to pick I want to listen that Villanova game was tough To watch yeah for our guy max and uh we we went through the DePaul game last night Let's all just go around the room and say something nice about max. He's powerful I am proud of how max fought in that game I am proud of how Max fought in that game That's hair on the podcast. Oh nice Jake

He makes watching March Matt March basketball so much more. You can say March madness Well, it's not March madness. Okay. Well, it is March madness this March and we got madness. Well, that's next week. Yeah. Yeah camp week Okay memes He's strong. Yeah, max say something nice about yourself Pass okay Where does pug ask pug for something nice pugs on in here? Yeah, just text him though. Yeah, I mean cinema text max I also admired how you fought tonight. We had subdued max Would you call yourself mundane max on the max tried toried to tone it down a little bit. The fire escaped, but that's fine. Some of the fire is good, I think. But I'm proud of the way that you held your own against Rico.

Yeah. You did a good job. And you fought hard, Max. And here's something else, Max. This is sad. Okay. All right. All right. All right. Here's something else, Max, that I'm going to say. Do you know that? Do you know the movie? What about Bob? Have you ever seen the classic? What about Bob? No, Bill Murray, Bill Murray, classic move seventies, 80s. Shut the fuck up Hank.

Thank you. Here's, here's just the premise. So forget about what about Bob, but it's essentially like when you walk around and everyone is like, that guy's crazy, that guy's crazy. And finally, you have something happen where everyone's like, no, maybe he's not crazy. Max Kyle Neptune sucks at coaching basketball. You are not crazy. He got absolutely worked by shock of smart. The fact that he didn't call a timeout with 30 seconds left in the game, when his team like eliminate the fact that maybe you say, Hey, let's let the boys play. We have something drawn up. His team was staring at him looking for direction. The point guard brought it to where they usually call the timeout. And he was like, nah, just

keep playing. That guy is not a good basketball coach. Jay Wright would have won that game. It was disgusting and shock of smart. I know it didn't count, but the play that he called the fact that he had the ball inbounded pass half court timeout to a perfectly drawn up play for the buzzer beater that didn't count. But still that was the disparity in coaching. So you're not crazy. Max, Kyle and Neptune's gotta go. Yeah, I yeah, I watch it all year that's We lost five games by two by one possession Every time we had a chance to win a game win a game. We didn't do it unless it's against Dupal like it was Which that was tough. That was a tough fight. I'm not gonna say the Cal Neptune Was looking at the spread, but I will say the way he reacted when that shot was waved off, when they spent like three minutes reviewing

the last second shot by Marquette, turns out it was maybe on his pinky. I don't know. I still don't know whether it was on his pinky or not. I think it's- It's on the overturned that one. Yeah. I think his salary's going to cost a lot more than whatever bet he must have had on that. Which is why I'm not saying that he bet on it. I'm not saying that, but I'm saying that

he acted like a man who did after they waved that off. The look on his face when he found out it was going to overtime, utter disappointment. He did not call a timeout on their last attempt in regulation to win the game. He did, however, call a timeout in overtime down six points with an opportunity to cover the spread. He called that timeout, but he didn't call the first. I'm just saying, I'm not saying, but I'm saying. Does that make sense? Not going to say it. Yes, Hank. His facial hair is impressive, Pug. Oh, nice. Max, here's another spin zone for you.

I think with what happened against DePaul and the fact that we've had a few bid stealers going down, I think you would have probably been out no matter what and it would have sucked to have to get your hopes up after a win and then watch on Sunday and they don't announce Villanova's name. We've dominated Providence this year. Okay, but I'm still saying. We beat them a win and then watch on Sunday and they don't announce Villanova's name. We've dominated Providence this year.

Okay, but I'm still saying. We beat them by 25 and then 15. Yeah, that actually does suck because Providence was incredible against Creighton. If we beat Providence and go to the Big East final, you can't keep us out. Yeah, that was a big upset. The good news is you had low expectations. You didn't get hurt that bad. Yeah. Providence played

very very well. Beat Creighton. We also had NC State taking down Duke. John Shire hot seat. Maybe he was sweating on the sidelines. Well it's classic Duke fans. They were immediately just talking about how awesome their recruiting classes was also classic Duke because after the game they did post the final score on Twitter. Yep. But they locked the comments. Yep. Classic, classic college shutting down free speech in America. A little bit of that going on these days. They ended up unlocking the comments. You can unlock a comment? Yeah. Well everyone was, I mean myself included, I just quote you and said turn off, turn back the, turn the replies back on cowards. Yeah I I kind of wish that they just left it locked so we can continue to roast them for it Yeah, no, it's way worse to win when you post the final score without posting without opening up the comments

That's worse than not posting the final score. Yeah, that's saying like I know you're about to make fun of me, right? Don't do this, right? I'm soft and I need to I need I need a safe space away Just don't even post the final one though. That would be a problem, too I think it's better that they just don't post the the final, well no, that would be a problem too. I think it's better that they just don't post the final score than if they post it and then shut it down. I think we're gonna get to a point with social media that teams are gonna start doing final score graphics.

You know how there sometimes will be sponsors attached? They're gonna be like, final score graphic, sponsor attached, here's this child's GoFundMe, you know, they have cancer. And they'll tag the child in. Yeah, yeah. So the child gets all the replies. Because for some reason, it's such a hilarious thing that these social media accounts, whether

or not they don't post the score or they turn off the replies, who the fuck cares? Why do... If you run the Duke account, you don't have to read the replies. Yeah. Just post it and just go on with yourself. What's the issue with it? They just don't want people seeing they don't want their fans to have to read those replies. It's crazy. It's like the softest thing ever. I don't understand it. It's like what? Why not just post it? It happened. So yeah, we had some we had some great basketball. We had some crazy finishes. I'm trying to think of what else. I mean,

Kansas lost last night. Kansas is down bad. It's weird seeing Kansas and Duke eliminated in the first round of their tournaments because usually Kansas is like that is the bill self invitational most in most years in the big 12. Yeah, we had a St. John's advancing. Yeah. And I saw several times during the game, Rick Patino does in fact talk to the referees. Yep. I think he may have pulled the wool over eyes on that one but yeah good for St. John's. Big East tournaments been very fun so far. Big East tournaments been a lot of fun. Johnny Fanta texted me he was by the way great job by John Fanta you know pumping up Red Panda. That was that was great just two of the best people in the world in one clip but Rick Patino said

after the game we have to play a different style in March and it's called racehorse basketball It takes the pressure off of you and allows you to play freely They also asked him how he can beat Yukon and he said well, I need six of their guys to get kovat. Yeah Okay sense. We also had a very weird encounter after the Providence game a reporter asked if Kim English is married because he's hot. Mm-hmm. So that was weird What else my Badgers might be back? They look good today. That was crazy. They didn't miss they hit every single three. They didn't miss the badges were on fire They did the one thing you want to play these badgers. They did the one thing that's gonna get me back in

They started hitting threes again. Yeah, I think in the month of February they were like 15% from three points and today they just hit everything they dub there was one point it was 80 to 40 against Scott van Pelt's Maryland Terrapins and yeah I'm gonna fall back in love which sucks. Yeah Maryland looked awful. Yeah. They've they've looked pretty bad this they look bad even when they won against Rutgers but they managed to pull it off. Maryland bad team Wisconsin good team Ohio State good team. Yeah Ohio State state Ohio state, Ohio, Indiana too. Real good right now. This is Indiana. Yeah. They do it big. They're Indiana starting to reel off some wins. Yep. Get some teams peeking at the right time. Yep. Um, what else? The

Atlantic 10 was nuts. Yeah. so all top seeds are out Wow It's nine versus five and six versus seven in the semis. Yeah Dayton loses So that's where you would have been maybe screwed max because that was that whole Conference just got you get to the Big East tournament you're in the you're in the dance you get you mean the final There is the biggest final you're in the ball. Yeah Yeah, they also, they robbed from us the moment that we would have had on Sunday where we had a live camera on Max as they announced the bracket. And then if Nova hadn't made, then we would have gotten to see Max.

There's going to be a small part of him that's still. Maybe. Yeah, if I were. I'm retired from March. Oh, okay. Retired from March. Hank, what do you think about Duke losing? You didn't really chime in.

Are you going to be a Duke fan this year or no? This year is main event time. It's main event. They are smart. It's they didn't know Cooper. I mean, Uberflag. Yeah. Yeah. They didn't even try to take a three. Is that his nickname? Main event? Yeah.

Main event. It's main event time. It is. Yeah. We I mean, fuck, I love this week so much And it's just such a blur it is every so long. It's so larding and just just chaos everywhere I am I do feel beaten down by March already like oh yeah March won the first round against me That's a 10-7 round. Yeah, that's a rare rare 10-7 my body feels already broken, and we're two days in. And yeah, and tomorrow we get to do it all again. And it's even better matchups and better games,

because you have all the teams, like in the SEC, who had buys, double buys. Big 10 had double buys. We're getting everyone involved. We've got some semifinal games. We're getting everyone involved tomorrow. It's going to be great. Yep.

We also had some NFL news. Yeah. Bears are back, back right Keenan Allen. You know, I think Keenan Allen is a really good player All right, so he has a hard time staying healthy. I you have to say that we know yeah But when he's playing he's been consistently one of the better receivers in the league for it feels like 10 years I can't be upset by people doing the same thing I do where if someone else if you don't root for the Bears and they sign and they trade for Keenan Allen you can easily be like he's 32 he's old he's injured that's fine Ryan Poles is setting up Caleb Williams he's gonna have the best setup for any quarterback that's ever like stepped onto a Bears roll. Yeah, I got a question for you, Big Cat. So this is maybe the first time I remember a team being all in when they're about to draft a rookie quarterback. They're not, though. You don't think the Bears are all in? No, because they still have a shitload of cap space. They didn't use it all. So they're not all in yet. They're partially, are they all in your ass?

No, I think they're a year away from being all in. I think next year, I think the way that Ryan pulls is structuring this roster, like He didn't go nuts in free agency. The best free, you want a nice cliche, best free agent signing by the Bears? One that you don't make? Jalen Johnson. Okay, yeah. Keeping him on your team. Turning guy.

Yeah, keeping him on your team. But yeah, I think they're setting up for Caleb Williams and I think they'll probably trade the ninth pick now so they can get more picks because we don't have a ton of picks. But yeah, I like Keenan Allen. Keenan Allen's really good when he's healthy. He's very very good. I know he's injured a lot but he's very good when he's healthy and he's got to be, now he doesn't have to be number one. He can be number two to DJ Moore. To me the big question is who is Justin Herbert going to throw the ball to? I think Justin. Do we feel bad for Justin Herbert? No I think it's, I think it's memes meme. It's Adam Silver but it's Jim Harbaugh's face. Get ready to learn handoff buddy. They're going to play

some man football and just hand it off, hand it off, hand it off. The Chargers need to reset everything. They do. They were in Cap Hell. So they lost, they traded Keenan Allen. They cut Mike Williams, right? Yeah. Mike Williams got signed by who? I don't know. BOSA restructured his contract. Yeah. Austin Echler, gone. So yeah, they're going to look totally different. It's going to be weird seeing the charges next year, but I still think they'll be good. Uh, Patrick Mahomes. Congratulations. You have a good wide receiver again. Got Hollywood Brown. Yeah. He's going to have like the best year ever. Him teaming up with Kaderius Tony thunder and lightning. Actually two lightnings. He's going to be

incredible. Also lightening shout out Patrick Mahomes. He's reached the final step of a franchise quarterback, Super Bowl winning quarterback. He's opening up a steakhouse. Oh, good for him. That's really it. Like, you know, when you finally have made it. You have to- Marinos, Elways, you gotta have it.

Is he gonna have a signature dish, which is like swimming in ketchup, a ketchup poached steak? Yeah, ketchup comes as a side. Yeah, a bottle of ketchup at every table. Hey, do you want the sauteed mushrooms mushrooms or you just want the Heinz? Yeah, yeah, they're naming it a 1587 prime. So it's Kelsey and Mahomes together. That's good Yeah, but that does that feels like the actually I should say the final final step is the steakhouse failing in like three years

Car dealership. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, then car dealership. But yeah, congrats to him. So And then we had Aaron Rodgers Car dealership next. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then car dealership. But yeah, congrats to him. And then we had Aaron Rodgers found out really quickly that there's a difference between being hated by NFL fans and then hated in the political space because almost instantly after the news came out that was reported first by PFT- By Leroy. By Leroy, there was a story that he's a Sandy Hook truth-er, which basically, I don't know if it's true or not, but if you are a Sandy Hook truth-er and you don't think it happened, you're the

biggest scumbag piece of shit on earth. Yes, so here's, I agree with that. Here's Aaron Rodgers' statement, because he did post on Twitter. He said, as I'm on the record saying in the past, what happened in Sandy Hook was an absolute tragedy. I am not and have never been of the opinion that the events did not take place. Again, I hope that we learn from this and other tragedies to identify the signs that will allow us to prevent unnecessary loss of life. My thoughts and prayers continue to remain with the families affected along

with the entire Sandy Hook community heart emoji and then hashtag hashtag nothing makes you think right. It does me. I like how we include his little signature hashtag nothing at the end Yeah, very serious post So he's saying that it didn't happen that he's never said that it was like a CNN reporter that Claimed that he said that to her and that there was another person that he said that too So I don't I don't know what the truth is Aaron says he didn't say but one thing Aaron Rogers is not denied yet Is that he's running for vice president? So he went out of his way to make a statement denying that he said this about Sandy Hook has not denied

That he's considering being RFK juniors running me and they're announcing the the vice president for that ticket I think next week in Oakland, California in Northern, California, which is where Aaron Rodgers from not from oh, but the area I think he's gonna do it. I think he's going to do it. I think he's going to run for vice president. It's going to be hilarious. I don't know if he's going, is he going to retire or is he going to try to do both? That's the real question. I still don't think he's going to do it.

No way. You don't think so? No, I think that, I mean, Aaron Rodgers likes attention. He's a lot of attention. I thought about this, the ultimate out for Aaron Rodgers right now. He has the best opportunity in his mind presented in front of him on a silver platter right now, which is to come out and say, once again, the New York Times got it wrong, fake news media. I'm not running for vice president.

I think he would love to take that win. Yeah, I just don't understand it. I wonder if the Jets are quietly freaking out or they're like this is ridiculous There's no way it would be so I have a feeling that if you like I have a feeling there Rogers probably texts texted the Jets front on you know, Joe Douglas and Robert Salah and been like hey Don't worry about it. Like there's just news and I love being talked about. I don't know I mean he loves being talked about we spent all season when he was injured talking about him. Yeah. So again, like we said on Wednesdays episode, you were signing up to be the vice president. You would have to have

run that by the jets at some point already. And you would only, you can't just announce that and then talk to your organization. Like, and you'd only do it if you, like if he was running for vice president with Trump, I would actually think there would be a chance because you wouldn't do it if you had no chance of winning Have you seen his record in the postseason? I'm just saying uh it would it would be like a What's the word? I'm looking just want takes which is fair. I know I know I want the takes I'm also thinking like we were talking about the Jets history of quarterbacks It would be like you can't get any worse than this. You finally think you have your guy after all these years.

You go out, you spend like a full calendar year being like, next year we're going to get Aaron Rodgers. You put on a full court press, you give into all the Packers trade demands. You finally get them. You're like, we got our guy. Finally the Jets have our quarterback, the missing piece, Superbowl. He comes in, you get his wish list of players, his former teammates, you bring all of them in, you go out of your way, you pretty much make him the head coach of your franchise.

And then he gets injured after four snaps, five snaps. And then the entire season he's like, I'm going to come back. I'm going to come back and you're like, well, maybe we can do it this year. Maybe we can do it this year. Maybe we can do it this year. And then he just strings you along and he never comes back. And then that next office is you're like, well, next year, we've got everything in order. This is a year that we went to Superbowl. We have a quarterback and then he leaves you to run for vice president and gets

3% of the popular vote. That would be the ultimate Jets quarterback storyline. It would. It's sad to say. And I say this as a fan of a team that has our own long history of having shitty quarterback news. Like we have a very sad tradition in Washington of quarterbacks since I feel like 1991. But this this can't be topped. If this actually happens, that would be worse. Memes would be done. He'd be done as a human being. Justice conversation is making him uncomfortable. Justice conversation. Okay. Sam Howes gone. Yes, Sam Howes got hold. Let me do the Uber Eats ad read real quick. Uber Eats when tuning into all the conference tournaments this weekend turn to Uber Eats for all your delivery needs.

Uber Eats is more than just food from your favorite restaurant. I'm talking groceries, convenience items, and alcohol. Whether you need dog treats, peanut butter, St. Patrick's Day decorations, or beer, or maybe all four, Uber Eats can deliver almost, almost anything. What are you guys going to order this weekend? Uber Eats. Ooh. Maybe some cheeseburger.

Cheeseburger. I feel like it's a good cheeseburger weekend. I like that. Salads. Ice cream. I'm going to get some ice cream. So get grocery, alcohol, and everyday essentials in addition to the restaurant food you love.

So in other words, get almost, almost anything with Uber Eats. Order now for alcohol. You must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details. Uber Eats, you can get almost, almost anything. Yeah, Sam Howell gone.

Sam Howell gone. I realize. Seahawks. Yeah, he's a seahawk. I can picture him in a seahawks uniform. It's actually, I think, a good trade for both sides, because we got a third rounder and a fifth rounder for Sam Howell.

We did give up a fourth and a sixth, I believe. We just moved up in the draft. But I think it's a good trade for the Seahawks too. He fills their Drew Lock backup position very nicely. Yes. And I realized right after we traded him, I just recently purchased a Sam Howell jersey. The most expensive one that you can get. Why would you do that?

Because I'm a moron. Yeah, well you're going to draft a quarterback. I just like, so then you start doing the math and and reading the tea leaves Does that make it more likely that the commanders end up drafting Jade and Daniel? That's what up my instant knee knee-jerk reaction was it was a jaden Daniels move Because if they were getting Drake if they're getting Drake Sam Howell and Drake may or are good friends That would make sense like oh, yeah, you want to be comfortable. You have an emotional support quarterback, right? Exactly I have a setup. So yeah, I think Jayden Daniels. I think it might be

Jayden especially because we got Marcus Mariota. I feel like his style of play. Yeah. Run the same offense. Yeah. Sure. Sure. So I can, I can get, I can talk myself into Jayden Daniels very easily. Very, he's very exciting. One thing about Jayden Daniels, he has no desire to run for public office. Yet. Yet. That you know of. That I know of. One thing about Jane Daniels, he has no desire to run for public office. Yet. Yet. That you know of. That I know of. Yeah. Is that going to be like a question that the GM start asking prospective quarterbacks at the combine?

Like, do you think Sandy Hook actually happened? Yeah. Do you do you have any any, you know, ideas or imaginations of power? Yeah. How illusions of grandeur. Delusions of grandeur. Delusions of grandeur would be a good way to put it, yeah. I don't think he's going to run. I think Sam Howell, that was a good trade, I agree. Yeah. I think you'll actually get to play a little.

He might. He might. Also, he's a fine young quarterback. Also, Mason Rudolph got traded to the Titans. So it is now firmly Russ versus Kenny. Yep. Which at least it's a little bit more clear. And the Titans got a receiver too. Who'd they get? Oh they got uh what's his name? Calvin Ridley. Yep. Yeah. So good job Titans putting a little something around Will Levis. So I

heard a theory today on on ESPN Chicago Big Cat. I'm curious to hear your take of this. The fact that Justin Fields hasn't been traded yet, there's some speculation that Ryan Poles last year made a mistake in trading too early, making move too early. Yeah. When you can wait till closer to the draft, or maybe a little bit after the draft in some cases,

if you're in like training camp. And he thinks that Justin Fields value is going to get higher as you get closer after the draft in some cases, if you're in like training camp, and he thinks that Justin Fields' value's gonna get higher as you get closer to the draft. Maybe. If you package him with one of the picks. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Sure.

Maybe he's playing chess. Yeah, I mean, listen, this is a tough time right now just trying to wrap your head around, there's a lot of factions in Bear Fandom, there's a lot of people who think that Justin Fields is staying they have a lot of people who think the Cale Williams is bad That you got a trade all this stuff. They're drying. There's theories that Ryan Poles and just and Justin Fields have put this whole thing together like they sat down and he was like hey first thing You do is unfollow the Bears on Instagram and then we're gonna get everyone talking about it

Then I've got a real nice puff piece coming out from Caleb Williams saying how much he wants to play for the Bears Oh kill wounds at the at the golf game today. So people are like, oh, he doesn't care golf game I said, yeah told you I was gonna be a little loopy. My words aren't gonna work the golf match He was at the golf game today And people were freaking out about that. I just got an ace on 17 Not impressive. Did he see it? He's also wearing a t-shirt. Oh Is that a problem? Was he wearing a backwards hat? Oh Jake has a problem with it. What's the problem with him wearing a t-shirt?

At a golf tournament who the fuck care it does go against the decorum of sawgrass. Yeah Doesn't think about the decorum big guy. What's he gonna wear behind the podium? He's gonna show up in a dress again? I want my quarterbacks to stick stop sticking out and start sticking no he's sticking it in stick stick it What was it was LeBron's stop stop fitting out start fitting in fitting in yeah fine with crying But you have to wear a golf shirt to a golf. That's reach all the line. Okay. That's the line right there Yeah, until I heard Jake say it I was getting ready to just go all in on Caleb Williams being a classless piece of shit But hearing the words come out of his mouth. I'm like, you know what? I don't care There's a lot of t-shirts at a golf match. I don't think so. Yeah golf not Masters, but like it's T

TCP Sawgrass Come on. Let's see. I'll tell you this one. I didn't I didn't dream of wearing a non-collared shirt when I played there Didn't dream of it if you're inside the ropes people got to be comfortable. Let's see. I'll tell you this one. I didn't I didn't dream of wearing a non-collared shirt when I played there Didn't dream of it if you're inside the ropes people got to be comfortable. Let's see. All right. I'm looking up Cale Williams Yeah, he's wearing a comfortable golf shirts row back. That's true. This is crazy. This is where you draw the line This is your this is how you're in. I hit a hole in one row back facts Is it you were playing golf.

Yeah, that's different golf course. All right. I'm counting in the picture with Caleb Williams. There is one. There's three sweatshirts, three t-shirts, and it looks like actually four t-shirts. I mean this guy is fitting like that. No one's dressed up nice at this fucking event. I'm literally looking at picture right now.

I'll be like, here's how you defend him against people like Jake who are mad about. Jordan Spieth's not even wearing a golf shirt. Jordan Spieth stunk. Yeah, he was.

That would be sick though He stunk today max played really well max is in the thick of it.

Yeah, baby.

Right to the show. It is Andrew Santino, stand-up comedian, actor. Chiefs fan. Got a new movie out. Thesbian, Thesbian. What'd you say? Yeah, number one. Chiefs fan. You didn't do that. That's not true, he knows that.

All right. Yeah. Support, I support. I support them. You're just best friends with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey. The best of friends. Have you asked Patrick Mahomes, like, hey? Well, after I talked to him. Wouldn't it have been crazy if you were on the Bears?

Yeah, yeah. And he goes, I just want to be on a winning team, was his response, which I thought was rude, but. I mean, I've always been, when people were like, oh, you could have Patrick Mahomes, it hurt for like three or four years, and then I had the realization, if we had Patrick Mahomes, he would've just been hit

by a bus, like, crossing. Something bad would've happened to him. Yeah. Injury, injury year one, probably. Crossing Michigan Ave, just being like, bus hit him. Patrick Mahomes is dead. Yeah, it's something weird, like something would've fallen from the L

and hit him in the head, you know what I mean? Something would've broken his neck somehow in a weird way. We would have not gotten lucky with him either. They're good dudes, man. Happy for him. I'm a Chicago guy, sports Chicago sports through and through, but I support those guys because it's so much fun to watch a team win sometimes. Well, it also-

It sucks. It's just, it's hard. Yeah, you've also, we struggle with this because when you become true friends with some of these guys, like you're rooting for them because they're your friends. Yeah, I wanna see them do, also, they're not competing against me. Right. That's like the same thing I talk about in standup

when someone gets mad that someone's career takes off. You know, like all this internet hype about like Matt Reif, you know, all these people mad at him. It's like, he's not taking your fans. Right. What the, what do you care? I like, I never understood that. It's like, this is not a competition, man. Right. That guy's got a separate thing. We have a separate, the Bears and the Chiefs have no beef. None. So it just doesn't mean anything to me. So

I like watching them succeed. I'm happy for those guys because they're, they're legit. They've always been cool to me. So I, I like them. I do. I wish the Bears were better. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I wish we got our shit together and could do something. Might be next year. Caleb Williams. Yeah, this has been. I think Caleb Williams is the man. I do too.

But I don't know if this is just like a crush just like everything else where I'm like- Don't care. I know. I'll just fall for it. I'm gonna do it again. I did it with Fields. I'm gonna do it again. I did it with Mitch.

Do it with all. This is just like relationships where you're like, she's great, dude. All your friends are like, I don't know man. With Caleb, it's like, I think a lot of people want to find reasons to hate him, but recently his interviews he's been doing, he seems like just a good dude. I don't see any reason to hate the dude. I mean, I just think he, you know, you're going to get, when you're the top, you're going to, everyone wants to shoot at you.

So everyone's going to want to criticize everything. So that comes with the territory, but I'm a fan. I'm in on the dude. I think he's the man. Here's the thing too is that I explain it when everyone's like, what if Caleb Williams sucks? Like, what do you mean? I'll just be back to where I've been everywhere.

Yeah, it's like getting into a warm bath. I know the feeling, it's fine. It's like a new stepdad coming in. You're like, maybe this one doesn't suck. I don't know, dude. We'll find out. And what if he does suck? We'll just get another one. Fine dude.

Yeah, we'll just reset the clock. Another bill coming through the house. Yeah, no, I think he could be a great answer, so we'll find out. I mean, I'm still rooting for the Bulls right now too. I'm still on my Bulls train. Oh shit. I still love them dude.

That's yeah. Wait so have you met Taylor Swift? No. You're not that close of friends? No I just don't impose. Yeah it always is tough to be in like, I wanna hang out with them. I don't really, I mean this sounds rude.

It's just I don't care. I don't know how to say that without sounding mean. It's just like Travis came out to LA a week ago. We played golf and I don't know it's like old school with me. It's just like Travis came out to LA a week ago. We played golf and I don't know. It's like old school with me. It feels like when we first met. Right. Like it's the same guy.

Right. This is the only thing I ever cared about. When people become super famous or super successful or something big happens. Same thing with Gillis. Like I've known Shane for a minute and I love, I'm so proud for his success. Right. And he's the same cat. Right.

That's to me, that's all that matters. Yeah. If you're the same guy, you know, you don't compromise the people that you really still, you know, have relationships with from the past. That's all that matters. And Travis is the same way. It just, I'm not going to be like, hey, can I come to the game and sit in the,

I don't want to do that. Yeah. I have no business doing that. The big question is, how quickly did you hit them up after they won the Super Bowl? I'm trying to think of a real answer and a comedy answer at the same time. Okay I think I I actually think I hit them like three days later two or three. That's a good time back to bull I think like a half week is an appropriate. Yeah, congratulations like before the parade

Yeah, probably. It's probably that probably yeah, right. I think three days is probably what it was It's not gonna actually look but it's like seven days for a bad loss is what I always go off. Funny, dude. I don't do bad losses. I don't say anything. Really? Never. No way. Nothing. I don't want to even acknowledge it happened. I'll wait a week and just be like, Hey, sorry, man. No, see, like it's like my buddy, my buddy runs a good buddy of mine runs Steph Curry's entertainment company. Um, he runs like He runs their television and film division. And he's got two little boys. They're like my little, my god sons, you know?

And they were like, we're gonna go watch Steph play when they come to LA. And I said, oh, this is gonna be great. So we're up in the box and the Warriors lose. And one of the sons was like, is Steph gonna come say hi? And his dad was like, I don't think so buddy. He's like, can we go say hi to him?

He's like, I don't think so buddy. I think we're gonna, I think we'll talk to Steph another time. Do you go to Chiefs games? I've been to a few, yeah. The playoff one this year seemed like it would have been a crazy scene. Yeah, I've been to a few.

I went to, Arrowhead's awesome. I went to we were in Denver and I took my wife's family to a game and Pat was nice enough to set us up in his box with his family and the first time my wife's parents have ever been in like a suite or anything. It was just to like see him they're so excited was awesome. They were so stoked about it. And I don't know, it was a nice little family moment. But we watched them play the Broncos and then one more game and that's all. But over the years I've gone to a few games.

That is the best though, like having other people get to share and like the cool perks. Yeah, it is. It's like, you know, it's like you take kids to Disneyland and you see it's like you see the parents smiling because they're watching the kids. It's like you're they're living through them again. Yeah. So cool. But when adults are there alone without kids, no bueno. Yeah. Yeah. I have a hard steadfast rule. I don't get that thing. The Disney adults? It's

weird. Dude I live in California. I live in Southern California when I see all these people have like yearly passes and I'm like you guys have kids. Yeah, and they're like no and I'm like, okay Yeah, I don't think we can talk anymore there Isn't there like a pleasantville neighborhood in like Florida that like they built like a Disney community just for Disney I haven't heard about that, but it wouldn't shock because the Disney adults are they're real free. I'm pretty sure there is a scares me They care so much about Disney World too. They'll like write detailed reviews. Who's that one guy? That one dude, there was a columnist that wrote an article about like how, what was the one that they changed? Was it Splash Mountain? They changed it because it had some like racist shit from the south in there.

Yeah. So they changed some of the characters and this guy wrote this long op-ed piece about like how it ruined the immersive experience that he loves as a Disney adult. And the picture of the guy was this big fat 350 pound guy wearing a Hawaiian shirt, the prototypical Disney adult. But I do love the fact that any tent pole cultural phenomenon like Disney World or whether it's a big massive show, you get people that are the biggest nerds that care about it so much but they actually end up protecting whatever that piece of art is. Sure.

So like they're the watchful guardians of Disney World, making sure that it remains pure and fun. Well, it's like they would say the same, and to give them credit for Devil's Advocate, they say the same thing about you guys and this world. Right, yeah. You're Disney nerds for sports. That's true. No, every time-

It's the same thing. That's fair. Every time I'm like, oh, the Swifties are psychos, and I'm like, wait, I do that literally every Sunday. Yeah. My happiness is dependent on another group of guys. Except my thing is made for grownups, and Disney is made just for children. That's true.

Sports are made for adults, right? Kids can love them, but entertainment on that high level of professional sports, that's for adults to enjoy. For kids to be there too. Okay, you're making me feel better. Yeah. Kind of. Yeah, but also, sports are also made for kids. And so when I get worked up if they change

a mascot, I'm like, what the fuck? Bring back the old- Oh, you get mad about that? Bring back the old piggly mascot, yeah. Well, because what? Like the commander? Like the commanders, they change their name every couple years. I'm like, this new name sucks. Bring back the Redskins. I miss that. I think we're gonna go full loop in society.

We're gonna go back to, it'll be even more racist than the Redskins. Yeah. Somehow they'll find a way. You know what I mean? We've gone so far away, we'll just loop right back. I don't know, Chief Wahoo, the Indians logo, like that one lasted for a very long time.

Because he was awesome. Yeah, but you saw it, you're just like, oh yeah. When someone pointed out, you're like, oh yeah, I guess. Yeah, it was embarrassing. I guess that is awesome. Yeah, but you saw it, you were just like, oh yeah. When someone pointed out, you're like, oh yeah, I guess. Yeah, it was embarrassing. I guess that is true. Yeah, but you know what? I think it's like our teams. It's like Blackhawks, they've got the OK to keep being

Blackhawks. The Illini got the OK. I think if you get the OK, then it doesn't really matter what anybody says. Obviously, Cleveland didn't want to fight hard enough to keep Wahoo their guy. And that's on them. That's a reflection of the Cleveland didn't want to fight hard enough to keep Wahoo their guy. And that's on them. That's a reflection of the city. You got to fight. Bad sports town. Yeah, dude. What can I say? That's on you guys, man.

All right. So you're in a new movie too. I am. We're the number one movie on Amazon Prime Video. I kept trolling when we were doing press because they don't want you to say Amazon, they just want you to say Prime Video. Okay. But I would constantly be like, when we were doing foreign press, I was just talking, I would talk about my relationship with Bezos

and all that stuff. And you could tell the PR people were like, please don't do that. Yeah. Please stop doing that. Yeah. Because I was like, I'll call them now. I'm like, I'll ring up the B right now.

But no, yeah, it's on Prime Video. It's me, John Cena, Zac Efron, Jermaine Fowler. Me, Efron, and Jermaine Fowler play best friends as, you know, like childhood best friends. And we cause trouble as kids like we do, you know, when you break stuff, light stuff on fire, ruin stuff. And then we use an alibi. We make up a name, Ricky Stinnicky,

that's the name of the movie. And then we've used him as an alibi our whole life, to get out of shit, go to to go to World Series games to go golf trips and finally our wives and girlfriends are like where is this guy yeah who is this so we have to hire an actor John Cena to play this fake character oh I like it it's cool Zac Efron's a man yeah he's a good dude man everybody on it was cool it was actually like an easy shoot we shot in Melbourne Australia and Pete Fairley directed it the guy that did Dumb and Dumber it's Dude, man, everybody on it was cool. It was actually like an easy shoot we shot in Melbourne, Australia.

And Pete Fairley directed it, the guy that did Dumb and Dumber, something about Mary and... How long were you there for? This was about two months, I think. Oh, wow. And then my mom, my family came out, which was rad, because I was like, when are we ever gonna be back? Right.

So I took them down there and we traveled around a little bit. And I had a blast. The movie's fun, man It's cool So are you do you think that you're inching towards maybe being like the lead role in a big movie? No, I would be big for gingers not if I still have red hair. Yeah, that's it. Would you would you dye your hair? You'd be you'd be up there with like Andy Andy Dalton like just the king of it's pretty good-looking

Yeah, I mean, you know, I just think they don't, they're never gonna make a ginger a lead. You know, like even when I see people buy our merch, me and Bobby Lee's, you know, our podcast, like when people buy our merch and they have my face on there, I'm still like, they're not gonna wear that outside though, right? Cause my head's on it. This is an orange head on it.

You know what I mean? It's just, I always get self-conscious that I'm like, they don't wanna wear my shit with my head on it. Orange guys, something about orange men, they just, it's hard to lead a movie. Yeah, but I feel like- Polarize to wear my shit with my head on it orange guys something about orange men They just it's hard to lead a movie. Yeah, but I feel like you might be the guy They can highly doubt it all ginger cast Yeah, like willow except for ginger. That's disgusting dude. Who wants to watch that? That's has anyone in Hollywood been like listen, you're very talented

But like there's a there's a ceiling to what you got because of I think I had somebody tell me one time that they tested me on a pilot and they asked about toning down my hair. Because they were like, it's just way too much. Just nerf it. But it is dude on camera. When you see, right, when you go watch these movies. It's memorable. I'm so bright.

It's like I'm the brightest dude in the room. It makes you stand out. Yeah, but that's bad, dude. You wanna blend in a little bit some. Especially if I'm doing a dude in the room. You know, it makes you stand out. Yeah, but that's bad, dude. You want to blend in a little bit some, especially if, like, imagine if I'm doing, like, a murder scene or a death scene, and the orange bobblehead comes in. Who did it?

No, I think I'm just gonna continue where I'm at right now and keep making stuff. I don't really have the drive to be, I don't need, like, the star of the film. Right. Also, that's kind of dead. Yeah, it is a little bit. Movie stars are gone, man. It's basically just Tom the film. Also, that's kind of dead. Yeah, it is a little bit. Movie stars are gone, man.

It's basically just Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise, that's it. We're working on a, I'm working on something right now that is a like a buddy comedy thing. Like that I can do, you know, like a duo thing. That I'm totally into. But like a single, the movie's about me type of shit? No way, I don't even want that really. I want it now do yeah, you get dude ever since you guys left and came to Chicago

It's just you really need that fame You know what I thought you said for you. No, I want it for you I want it for I want it for the ginger community. I want to be like hey, yeah, we know Santino friend of ours He is like the king of an entire generation. Yeah, if Bill Burr can't do it, I don't think I've got a shot. Yeah, although he did, you're right, because he did, like, once he shaved his head, he started to get more rolls. That's right, dude. You gotta shave your head. Then he gets old dads and all this stuff. Yeah, you're right.

If they're like, Santino, we want you as the star of a romantic comedy, and we're gonna pay you $40 million, but we want you to dye your hair black. Let me stop you right there. Yeah. You had me at $40 million. Yeah, cut your head off. Yeah, whatever you want. I'll lose a limb for $40 million. Bill called me like a couple months ago.

I don't even know how long ago it was, but it was like a very burr phone call because he was like, I picked up, I'm like, hey man, what's up? He goes, hey, how old are you? Didn't even say hi, nothing. How old are you? I go, I was 39 at the time, so it was right before my,

it was actually months ago now, because I said, 39, I'll be 40 in October. And he goes, 40, you could play my son. And I was like, I think so, and he goes, okay. And then he hangs up. There was no, it was straight up just like, I need this information. I don't want to chit chat That's all I need to know I don't want to look it up online Yeah, so I think he he he's joked about it before in the past

It would be rad if we did something where he played like an older brother So yeah, and I was like that we could do a two-hander with that I would probably be able to get away with in Hollywood as leads You know what I mean? Mm-hmm, and then you'd have to have the love interest and all that stuff be actually attractive people to stare at. Yeah, he's the best on the phone. He calls me like maybe twice a year, just to bitch about like a play in a football game.

And I'm like, once I was like, why are you calling me? He's like, none of my friends are watching this game. I know you are. Yeah, you're watching everything. He'll just be like, I literally would pick up and it would just be like, I fucking hate when cornerbacks, the ball's thrown 10 yards out of, out there and they're doing a celebration. Yeah. And then it'll just be like, that'll be it.

Yeah. He's like, all right, cool. He's good at, he's, I love Bill. He's just, he's an interesting creature, man. He's like his own, he's like his own little enigma and he's kind of like a guy I can't put my finger on. I don't really know how he moves. You know, like I see him, it's always good to see him, but I don't know if it's always good to see me.

Yeah. Yeah, he keeps you on your toes. Yeah, he does. Always. But that's what makes him kind of brilliant. Yeah, I mean, I think he also is just such a busy, consumed dude. You know what I mean, that he's like,

he's doing something. Right. I love his podcast though. His podcast is, it's very hard to do what he does. Yeah. Which is just sit down and just scream into a microphone. just ramble like an hour and a half guys like us We need someone else you know I mean like I need someone else to bounce with I don't want to just talk alone I don't know I'd lose myself. Yeah, he's like the definition of dudes will literally start a podcast and say go into therapy

Yeah, I'm just gonna. I'm gonna use all of America as my therapist But it's great because they're like make himself laugh and it'll stop and it'll just be like, you're just in a room by yourself right now and it fucking rocks. I think that's his writing too. I bet you that's kind of gotta be his process for writing and creating. I would imagine is talking it out, talking it out, talking it out, and then putting it down on paper. That seems like his rhythm anyway, because he's not a guy who's going to have a crew

of writers. You know what I mean? There's a lot of famous guys that we know that have teams of writers, or they have a clique of dudes that are always kind of around taking notes, writing, and there's nothing wrong with it, whatever your process is. But I feel like he is such a lone eagle. He's out doing his thing, and then that's how he probably puts shit together. So about that, writing, you had a great special on Netflix,

Cheeseburger that came out in the fall. Yeah. Was awesome. Everyone should go watch it. When you finish a special, is there a little bit of like, are you like, all right, I was done with that material or is there a feeling like, fuck, now I got to go back and I got to reinvent an entire hour? Yeah, you do. I mean, you have to throw that away. I mean, there's no rules to it, but we all kind of adhere to the same thing. I mean, it's an unwritten, you dump it.

Right. It's kind of like, not everyone. There's dudes that still do their stuff, and that's whatever you wanna do. I mean, there's no rule to it, but culturally, I think most stand-ups throw it away, start on a new hour, and you slowly piece it together. Like, now I'm doing, at the end of the month I start Houston,

and I'm doing just clubs. I'm gonna get away from theaters for six dates, six, seven dates, just to massage this new hour that I've got before I go into theaters in the fall or anything like that. So I'm doing six, just six cities, just trying to feel it out, totally different markets. It's like Houston, Tampa, San Francisco.

I just want the polar opposite markets. I was talking to my agent, I was like, put me in places where I'm not going to get the exact same crowd every time. So these were kind of the best that we came up with to be like, I want different cultural, socioeconomic vibes, different parts of cities. But yeah, I just think about it. If I was ever if I had if I was a comedian I did it like sick hour and put out a special I'd be like I don't want to do it again like Everyone watch that forever. Yeah, well remember when I was that remember when I put that out. I'm done. Yeah, it was so awesome You want to be done, but also? It's hard starting again

you'll you'll have like little nuggets of stuff and then you start to massage those and then you Slowly, but surely peel chunks from that and that but it's daunting You'll have little nuggets of stuff, and then you start to massage those, and then you slowly but surely peel chunks from that. But it's daunting. There's tons of moments in between where you're... It sucks. It sucks, dude. It's got to be in my mind how if an athlete is injured and they're training again, because they know they're better than what's happening.

They're like, dude, I'm so much better than this. I don't know why I can't put it together. It's just the restrictiveness is there. So then slowly but surely after time, you're like, okay, great, now I've got 15, great, now I've got 25, now I've got 30 that I like. And you shave down and add and then it's a great process. I think the beginning is the most painful

when you're building, but also when it starts to click. Ugh. When the jokes are new. That's feeling, yeah. Well, when they're still new to us. When they're new to you, they're phenomenal. And you get that pop. Do you try to have a theme for your new standup

when you're working on it? Is there one thing that you think about, and you're like, I'm going to build my set around this one topic? I think it happens kind of organically. But this one's going to be all about Hamas. No. No.

No. No. No. No, this one honestly is probably going to be a lot about health, my health and my stuff that's going on with me. I'm just having such a weird chunk of time in my life where people in my family who got sick or stuff that happened to people I know and then I had this weird herniated disc that led to this MRI that showed this hip impingement and all this other shit that was going on. And I had to go through all,

and then I had to get, my heart murmur was messing up and then I had to go get on medication. It was like everything happened at once. It was like I was cruising along and then everything happened once and then so I put away booze, I put away certain foods for a little while, I'm back on the booze.

This is scaring me because we're the same age. Well it's like- I'm 40. We're both 39. It happened out of nowhere, man. Fuck. Your late 30s happened and then you just accumulate injuries for the rest of your life.

It's like you wake up one day, your knee hurts and you're like, well I guess my knee's gonna hurt until I die. Yeah, oh I feel, like we just golfed on the sim a little bit and my back is killing me and I was like, I shouldn't knees gonna hurt until I die. Yeah Oh, I feel like we just golfed on the sim a little bit, and I'm my back is killing me I was like that shouldn't have done that why am I doing this I didn't strike because when I play golf I stretch a lot. I get ready for it. This was dumb This was me sitting on planes coming here, and then that was the dumbest thing I've done

But you do get yeah your body starts to slowly tell you this is no good anymore You don't really get to do this anymore. You have a good swing though. It's okay. It's not bad. I'm up. I'm, I've been playing some good golf. I like that people go sometimes online. They find my handicap and then they just get online and talk shit. What's your handicap? I'm a, uh, I'll tell you what I am. So, you know, this is, when everyone says what their handicap is, get the gin out. Give me the app. Yeah. Give me the app. Whenever someone, I'm a two, two index. So that's pretty good. That's pretty damn good. 2-2 is pretty good.

Yeah, I'm all right. But it's like people talk shit online. They love to talk shit. Oh, that's all golf. Golf is the worst talk shit because it's impossible to prove it because you're like, when am I going to play you guy in West Virginia? Yeah. You come to my club.

I'll bet a grand straight up. And you're like, dude, get out. I'm not playing some lunatic from the internet. We got a guy here, Riggs, who foreplay podcasts and they do great golf stuff, but he started a series where he's just calling out haters and he's golfing with them. Smart. Yeah.

That's the move. I wanted to do, I actually thought because of all that nonsense, I thought about creating kind of like a charity event where it's like, come play guys that you talk shit about and the money that we earn from it will be donated to a charity of my choice. I like that.

That for me was a way to justify doing any of that dance, like putting up with their bullshit. Yeah. So film it, have a crew of celebrities who golf, take on dickheads that just want to play them and then donate all that money to charity. And to be a charity that the guy hates. 100%. Yeah.

Something that he's really not going to want to get. Something he's going to get, like kid cancer. Yeah, yeah. Something that guy really, he really, he wants cancer to win every time. That's how we'll propose it. So if you're fair-funny. I just started talking about it not too long ago because I'm doing this, I can talk about it a little bit,

but I'm in the middle of negotiating with Liv to go start a network with them. Oh, yeah, you were out there, we missed you when you were playing the Pro-Am. We won, dude, I won the Pro-Am. Oh yeah. Yeah. You were out there. We missed you when you were, we won the pro and you did. Yeah. We won it. Me, Pat Perez, uh, you Henio, uh, Chikara was our, was the two you do one pro on nine and the other pro on the back nine. Um, and then, uh, Titus O'Neill who's, uh, an ex wrestler. Um, and then I'm drawing a big blank. We won the whole thing.

Yeah, we won. We got the plaque sent to us not too long ago. I'm pretty proud, it's in my office. Were you a little bit nervous? Because we played in that same, but it wasn't on Pro-Am day, right? It was like before the Pro-Am day? You guys played the day before, I missed it.

Yeah, day before. Yes, that's right. It was a scramble, all of us against Brooks Kapka, which was, that was a lot of fun. No, thanks for the invite on that. Would have rathered that, but that's all right. You can come next time. I want to.

They're gonna do another one here. I love that dude. I think they're in here in September. But we were nervous, because we all kind of stink at golf, and we thought we were playing the Pro-Am day, and we thought there would be people that would be lined up for shots.

We were actually thinking we were gonna kill somebody, because they stand really close to you. Oh yeah dude. Was that, were you nervous at all? Not really, I mean not really. Honestly, it's also, you're with pros, so ironically enough, it takes the heat off of you. It's like it takes the... You don't feel pressure.

You felt pressure on the first tee. Then after that, I didn't even think about it, because the pros are doing their thing, and you're really watching the pro. It's almost like you're just getting to hang with them. Yeah. And if you did hit a bad shot, nobody gives a shit. No one's thinking about it. You're really just... Everyone's just watching what the pro is doing. I wasn't worried about hitting like a bad shot. I was worried about hitting a shot that would kill someone. Yeah, kill someone.

Like shank it so bad that it goes to the side. What are you gonna do? Yeah. You know what I mean? It happens. People do get hit by, don't stand there. Yeah. Yeah, especially when an amateur's going.

Yeah, that's your fault. Have you seen that clip of that girl online that that woman, she hits a girl off the tee and she tees it up again And she hits it to the exact spot little bit is like make it stop No, yeah, that's why like we went to RIV. I just went and was following Homa around RIV when he was out there and It is funny how people lean their heads over the over the tee box They'll lean their heads over the rope literally and I was watching this guy do it and I thought,

well I'm not gonna stop him and home is not gonna hit him, but how annoying is some dummy's head right in your sight line. He's leaning over the rope. That's why they have to put the rope. If they didn't put ropes, those savages would like hug them while they're swinging. Yeah, we got a very important question about this.

You're walking with Max Homa the whole time. Not all of it, I walked nine. Some of it. Did anyone call him a pervert? No. Okay. Why? God. Does that happen? We had a problem. We started, Max is a good friend of ours, we started calling him a pervert on this podcast. Because he's Italian. He's Italian. Yeah. And then all of our listeners started calling him a pervert on the golf course. And then we had a moment where Max was like, hey, it's not really me. Like, but my caddy is so sick of it. Like, can you tell everyone to please stop? So we had to do like,

we had to make an order. Like if you do it, you're a scumbag. So it's good to know that it's actually worked. Cause it got really bad for a while. Like he was like, he'd be in a big tournament and people be like, what's up, Max, you pervert. It was more like, uh, I don't think you'd want to say anything to him. He was not, he was not be like, what's up, Max, you pervert? It was more like, I don't think you'd want to say anything to him, he was not giving me the what's ups at all because I think he was having a tougher day. I don't think you'd want to check him on that day. He looked pretty pissed.

He wasn't doing any of the niceties. He was not in a good mood. That's the worst part about golf, like even the professionals, they go out there and they have a day and they're just like, what on and you and they and they see you staring at them And it's got to be annoying golf's got a golf's got to be shit too in the regard where if you're the if you're the guy if you're like the guy and You know the other dude you're playing with he just knows that

Everyone's watching you and doesn't you know are watching him and not not looking at your shit Yeah, that always messes with my head where you're like this poor dude It's like no attention given to him. He makes you put no one cares right that sucks to me Yeah, they're what they're only watching the other dude Yeah to me the funniest guys at a golf tournament are the ones that well first of all they wear spikes if you go to like Watch a like watch your favorite golfer player like I'm gonna put my shoes on so I get good traction on this course And then if there's a ball that goes slightly off the fairway seeing everybody like sprint to that ball to get a good spot to watch the next one It's so funny watching these grown men just sprint down a golf course just to get as close and the cop has to push them

Physically away to be like dudes chill out. Yes, chill out get the he needs to hit It's more annoying to me when someone is hogging their space and their phone is right in their fucking face. Yeah. I hate that dude. Yeah. What are you doing with that footage? What are you going to do? Breaking down like the swing. Yeah. You can post it and be like, Hey, I noticed you dropped your hands a little bit too early. Yeah. It's like being in a concert when people have their phone on a concert. It's like a concert video is the worst footage ever. And it's going to sound like, yeah, it sounds terrible. You watch it back and you're like, why did I do this? You're taking it to post online to be like look where I was. Yeah, so that other people can see where I get it

Take ush picture. Yeah, right put your phone away. Yeah, like I never got that. I just didn't enjoy it I'm not above it. You're with your kid take a photo video. That's cool But there's adult men that are there all day with it recording all day long Uh-huh. Shame on these guys. If you're going to do that, just get a GoPro on your head. That's cooler. Seriously.

To me, it's cooler. Way cooler. If you got a head and the body brace one where you... or the camera that's up that looks up at people so it's like just their nose is all you see. Yeah, it's all fucked up. I'm cool with if you're trying to do something unique with it, but it's just the same dude on his phone following guys all day. I think it's creepy shit.

Yeah. So you can go home and you put on your Apple Vision Pro and then you get to relive. You get to live the day again on your couch.

I'm gonna take it back. Oh you hate it

I don't necessarily hate it But I'm gonna take it back because it's like the most antisocial thing that you can do so when you wear it You're like in your own world. You're on your couch your family everybody around you is like What are you doing? Yeah, we just watch TV together like it puts you it's very cool There's some cool stuff that you can do on it But I also feel like it's probably two years ahead of its time where there's not enough stuff to do. You can watch the same four videos of-

The tech looks amazing. Somebody gave me somebody, O'Connor, who opened for Gillis. He bought me an Oculus, the original Oculus or whatever. And I loved it, because it was the beginning of the pandemic, and we played golf together. Because he was in New York and I was in LA. So we'd get on at night, I'd tell my wife, I'd be like, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna play golf in the front room.

And she'd be like, oh God. Exactly, yeah. So she would take videos of me like an idiot, yelling and laughing into my Oculus, playing golf with those guys. But after that wore out, I was over it fast. I was like, ah dude, I don't know anymore. It's a little like, I don't need it.

Yeah, exactly. I got over it. There's nothing that this does so much better than my computer or my phone. I already have enough screens in my life. But you watch porn on it though. No, you can't watch porn, that's the thing. That's what he claims.

Throw that thing in the trash. I know, I know. What does that work? Because it is the ultimate porn guy thing. Yeah, that's the first thing I know, I know. What does that work? Because it is the ultimate porn guy thing. Yeah, that's the first thing I did in the Oculus. Literally, the first thing was like, I wanna see what it looks like. So I got one of the videos, the 3D videos or whatever,

all immersive, and amazing. Then the second or third time, completely over it. Right. Completely, then you start to get really picky about the details, you're like, that looks so stupid. She looks like her shoulder looks massive. Because the angles are so weird. So you get over it.

It just doesn't, I don't know. And then you like do it. You imagine yourself wearing the Oculus in a room, just like jacking off with this big helmet on. You're like, this is sad. Well, I would take videos of myself and watch it back later jerking off with the Oculus on. You have to.

Watch your game tape. Pateek in my form. Yeah, I just wanted to see my form, dude. You all 22? You gotta get shallow on that stroke, dude. What's the dumbest thing you've bought now that you have some money? I don't know that much. I just, a couple bucks.

The dumbest thing I probably bought in the recent years was, well, these were dumb. This was a stupid. I bought these in New York. I got suckered into buying these Travis Scott shoes. How much are they? I don't even know. I don't, they were dumb. This was a stupid. I bought these in New York. I got suckered into buying these Travis Scott shoes How much are they I don't even know I don't I they were expensive as shit They were more than they should be every every guy I feel like goes through an expensive shoe phase and they're just like why did I do that? I like shoes. I like you too, but I didn't mean to want I this is how dumb I am

I have the Travis Scott golf shoes of these like they make them in golf shoes these ones and I love the ones That's my favorite shoe to walk in And I was like, oh well, I want to get the um I want to get the regular ones that aren't the golf shoes and then so I saw the ones that I have that aren't golf Shoes there are street shoes and then the guy was like, you know You know, what's really dope is these black ones and he was chatting with me and he was a fan and he was cool so I kind of got you know I got like enamored with the conversation and then he took me up to the front desk and I think they were like I don't even know 700 bucks or

something absurd that's crazy so yeah like when I say expensive shoes like I would buy like $400 shoes and I'd be like why I'm not even wearing them it's the dumbest thing I bought in a long time this is probably so I'm good though well I'm wearing them every day now because I'm like I'm getting my work that's the thing it's like I have all these shoes and then I found out like I would just wear the same shoes every day I'd wear the same comfortable pairs every day. Yeah. Yeah, look at the other ones I'm gonna wear them because I paid too much for them So this is the I haven't done something this dumb in a long time overpaid for something so stupid

But I felt like if I didn't buy them I I would look lame in front of this cool dude. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's reverted right back to junior high. Right. Yeah. Where it's like, well, if you don't jump, I mean, we're all jumping, but if you don't jump, it's not a big deal.

And you're like, if I don't jump, I'm a bitch. Do I have to jump? They tell you the price, and then you're like, no thanks. And you take it back. That's a bad moment. I can't do it. Right? That happened to me with pillows when I was in New York.

I was buying pillows, right? And I get up to the cashier, and she she scans them and they were like $250 pillows. And I was just like, fuck, I'm going to look like such an asshole if I just say, no, these pillows are too expensive. So I was like, yeah, sure. I'll buy $500 with the pillows. Insane. On a whim.

And then the pillows sucked. And then I had to live with them for like five years because they're $500 pillows. The pillows always suck at that price point. Yeah. They can't be good. There's no way they're good. They've boosted it up to make you feel like they might be special. These are no special than the regular Jordan 1 lows. It's the same shoe.

There's literally no different. It's just Travis Scott put his name on it, and they're a little cooler looking. So suckers. Oh, I'll tell you, actually, I'll tell you some dumb shit I did. When I was back here and we played the Chicago Theater, I wanted to take my wife and get her like a purse, a bag. She wanted this color of a bag. And so we went down like on Michigan Avenue and just as a surprise, I was like,

there's a, I think a color bag that you like at Gucci. And she was like, really? Seriously? And I was like, yeah. And she's like, we're not buying a Gucci purse. I was like, it's a little bag. It's not like a crazy, it's just the color you like.

And we go in there, same shit, this is how much of a loser I am. There's this like really like smooth, suave gay dude who's just like, you know, he was like, oh, I love your hair. Like, look at the color. The color goes good against this, and he's showing me Gucci shirts and jackets, and I'm like, oh man, that's not, I don't really,

I'm good on all that, I just wanna get out of the purse. Then sure enough, 20 minutes goes by, he's got me buying a Gucci shirt jacket. I've never owned anything by them. I bought this thing. I didn't look at the, I gave him the card, we were chatting, I didn't look at the receipt and how much it cost.

We get back to the hotel immediately to my wife. I go, I'm going back tomorrow and returning. But here's how much of a pussy I am. I wouldn't go back to the Michigan Avenue store. No, you can't. I went all the way out to Schomburg. Yeah, you can't. Because I'm a bitch. Yeah, I'm a bitch. I drove, I went to Schomburg to return it because I felt so much weird guilt that I was like, he'll see me. He'll think I'm a loser. Yeah, no, you can't. But I had no intention on buying it. I got like fooled. I got like bullied into buying it.

And immediately when I saw it, I think it was like five grand or something. I don't even know. But I literally was like nervous. And I felt so uncomfortable. I was like, I got to buy it. He's like almost making you buy it. He's like putting on my shoulders.

He's like, oh my god, look at the way your shoulders sit in this. And I was like, I bought the jacket. Then of course, I returned it to Schomburg. But the relief I felt when I returned it, oh, it felt so good seeing it come off my credit card. I was panicking. I was like, I'm never gonna wear that anyway.

You at least got a couple people that see those shoes and they know what's up with the shoes, and they're like, hey, I like your shoes. Teenagers. Yeah, but that's good. I've had a couple like 17-year-old boys, like young dudes are always always like yo, bro. I love those shoes. I'm like, thank you so much I'm I bought them on accident. Yeah, 40 years old. I feel like a fucking moron stay young I don't do much though in that regard. I won't buy too much crazy shit the

So I have to ask you as you're wearing the sweatshirt. I know you were in curb a few years ago You're not in the new season. Are you? No, I've watched some of it. This is actually from my good buddies, Malben, you know, the golf company. You know Malben, yeah. They did a Curb collab for the new season, and I was up at the preserve, I golfed at the preserve with Malben

for their Bing Crosby Adidas collab thing, and my buddy was like, hey dude, we're putting out a Curb collab, and it's pretty limited on who we're giving them to with the Larry stuff. And the first thing I was like when hey dude, we're putting out a Curb collab, and it's pretty limited on who we're giving them to with the Larry stuff. And the first thing I was like, when I got home, I was like, if I don't get that stuff, I'll kill you. I want all the Curb shit.

You need it. Yeah, it's so sick. No, I did a couple seasons ago, the new one's great, I watched it on the plane on the way to New York. How fun was it doing when you did Curb? I mean, you made Larry break, right? Yeah, dude, that was a great, that was like one of those moments of my life

where, you know, it like validates you as a comedian. Where you're like, that guy thought that was funny. I'm good, I can die a happy man. I made him break in the room, and then on set when we did it. In the room, you know, the audition is, you just, he gives you a character, and they give you a little baby character breakdown,

it's probably like, I don't know, four or five sentences. And then you take from that enough to make your own, improv your own world. And I improv the world. I was originally going to have the role of the, it's the episode where the guy has a dog named Adolf. I don't know if you've seen that one. Yeah, yeah. The German shepherd named Adolf.

And then as soon as I read the character, he loved it. And then he goes, it's not going to work. And I was like, really? I thought we were having, like I made, we were laughing. He goes, yeah, yeah, no, you don't look, you don't look the part at all. It's the ginger thing. Yeah, he's like, you don't look like a Nazi kinda guy.

He's like, I wanted to make him a little bit look with that like blonde hair, blue-eyed thing. He's like, it's just not gonna work. The ginger thing isn't gonna play. And I was bummed. And then he was like, no, no, no. We're going to get something else. So then he made me go back in the hallway

and read for the plumber who fixes the toilet at Latte Larry's. And I came back in after like 15 minutes, and we just riffed. And he broke a few times. And it just like, my heart grew four times. That's incredible. Yeah, it was like a comedy. On the way home, I vividly remember pulling out of his studio driving and I called my wife

and I was like, I've only done this maybe twice to her. Been like, I'm so sure that I got this. If I don't, I have no idea about my career. Because it went so well. He was like, we were humming. That'd be like, I don't know how he wouldn't want to give this to me. There was nothing. It was flawless. It was like the rhythm was great. He was like we were humming that'd be like I don't know how he wouldn't want to give this to me Yeah, there was nothing there. It was flawless. It was like the rhythm was great. He was bouncing. I was listening

I wasn't stepping on his you know stepping on his retorts or improv So I was like it was so smooth and of course, you know that afternoon they called they were like, okay They want you in like three days. That's incredible. It was huge man And I would assume that you were a big fan of the show Massive as you were coming up and now you're on the show. Yeah, I mean, he's, I think he's, you know, I'm not, you know, I don't know how to say this without sounding like a dick, but like, I'm a much bigger fan of him than Seinfeld. Like I think his line of what Seinfeld was, was that's why Curb was so great.

Yeah. Right. It was like the version of Seinfeld that I wanted more was that. Right. More so than the other thing that Jerry did. And you know, he's great, but it's like Larry's Seinfeld is what Curb is, and that's what I always wanted it to be. Is it true that he just doesn't, like, Curb, I feel like, and maybe I read this somewhere,

but like, he'll just decide, like, oh, I'm ready to do a new season, like, out of the whim? He took breaks, yeah. He was allowed to do whatever he wanted. I mean, obviously, he's a legend, so why would they say no? What executive in their right mind would be like, I don't think we're gonna be able to do it anymore? Especially because HBO, that's kinda like, it's like this.

This is like fantasy land. It's like you're making what you love, and they get to decide. They're not answering as much to corporate sponsors like ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox. They've got sponsors. HBO, they can kinda do as they please. So I think they were more apt to let him fly free. I don't know personally, but I imagine

he just would get busy and tired and be like, I'm not ready to put something out. It's rad, dude. That's the dream. That's what we all want is like to be able to go, I'm not going to give you something unless I really want to give it to you. Otherwise it's going to be shit. And then you're all going to be bummed. You don't want to pump it out, you know So the take a break thing is cool I think more TV should either take you know

She either just do a limited amount of seasons or just take a break and maybe revisit it or you know Who knows whatever not too long of a break though, because there's some shows where they take such a long break I forget they exist like I forgot there's a new Game of Thrones. Oh, yeah Yeah, like some that it's like That's tough well, that's also takes so long to shoot those shows Yeah, the other problem is you know, well that'll be replaced by AI they'll they'll replace all of us and it'll be all AI anyway Yeah, wait, were you were you on strike? Yeah, I mean we all yeah, you don't yeah, were you picketing? No, dude No, I'm not even ashamed son with you. Yeah, I can't be outside. Yeah You're probably the one guy in the Union. He's like, yeah, look, I'm not coming me Conan.. The sun with you? Yeah, I can't be outside. Yeah, that's actually fair. You're probably the one guy in the union who's like, look, I'm not coming.

Me, Conan. Yeah, they're like, all right, that makes sense. I put sunscreen on when it rains. I swear to God. I'm like, good, you never know if it pokes through. No, I didn't go out and pick at the thing. Not to sound like a dick, I was like, I voted to strike. I did the thing.

I wanted to, yeah. I said yes. I don't want to strike right I did the thing right I wanted to yeah, let's I said yes Yeah, I don't want to go out there every day I just didn't feel like I was it was necessary for me to be out there every day It was crazy the story about them cutting all those trees in the shade so funny by the way Yeah, heavy props to how funny that was yeah, they cut the trees so the picketers couldn't get shade every day Yeah, that was so funny. It's just like, yeah, just guerrilla warfare. Well, it was also a writer's strike, and I haven't been in the writer's union for a long time.

I was in it for a little bit when I wrote this pilot, and then when the actor strike happened, it was in solidarity already, so it was kind of like, they had already made the noise that they needed for justification for the strike. Actors were just being like, yeah, let's get, get them what they want so we can work. Right.

Like, get these people everything they want, let's go. Like, come on, man, get over. And also, a lot of it was shit that was a little bit needed. I mean, the amount of money that some of these executives are getting versus what the residuals would pay out for these writers or actors, dude, it's a joke. I sent a screenshot yesterday to David Spade because you see what you're getting in your residuals.

You know, it sends you an email or whatever, and it's literally one cent, and it's for his show Lights Out on Comedy Central that we did, and I was like, thanks a lot, man, really appreciate this, this is gonna help us out this month. And he was like, you know, like he has any control. But the fact that sometimes you'd get 26 cent checks is like, give me a fucking break, what. What am I going to do?

And also, that means to me, the executives that did the buyouts or the sell throughs, I'm sure they got 50, 60 grand. And each little idiot like you got a shekel. Yeah. What was the AI thing that they were talking about? If you showed up as a background actor, the studios would then have the rights to use your face. Yeah, they-

Is it like AI to put them in different scenes or something like that? They were trying to dupe, yeah. They were trying to dupe background actors to just reuse them in other backgrounds of other shows. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah, they wanted to reuse background actors. Here was my thought on it.

I said, okay, background acting is a nightmare. It's super hard. You're treated like shit. They should be treated better. They kind of cattle call these people in. They bully them around. And you know, it's just, in your 15 hour days or 12 to 14 hour days, so it's not fun.

It sucks, it fucking sucks. And you're getting to learn sometimes, but I do think they're not treated great all the time. I'll be honest, I've been on sets where they are. But I said, if that's the case, that they wanna propose AI to them, we'll maybe give them a huge check to use their likeness for a limited amount of time,

just in the background, but then have subsidized a program where they can come to set and then learn and not have to be in the background, but like shadow and follow and learn and watch. Because a lot of people just wanna learn. A lot of people that do background, but shadow and follow and learn and watch. Because a lot of people just want to learn. A lot of people that do background, they just want to know how everything works.

How the sausage is made. Yeah, they want to see the insides. Right. And I thought, who am I? But I just proposed in my own little stupid world of people I've talked to, I said, what if they paid them a big fat check and said, we'll use your likeness for six months.

After that, there's a new contract. So you will be used AI background. But there's a subsidy program that the union would do to let them come to set, watch an entire series filmed, so they can learn everything. I mean, granted, I don't know if people would wanna do it, but I thought that's a better use of their time than standing there for 12 hours a day

being where a lot of times you can't even see them, that they're filler. So it's almost like I think you can service both worlds. But I get it, once you enter the world of AI, you're fucked, it's over. I mean, I read some of the AI scripts that people were trying to put out, they stink. Yeah, they're terrible.

Robots aren't funny yet. No, they're not there. Do you think robots can ever get to a point where it's like they can write new original comedy? I don't know, man, I get scared about it. Well, I mean, people are always gonna want people, but I mean, I don't know, I mean, look at what's on your fucking desk.

I mean, that's kind of like the looming future of like. You- He's returning it. And I don't like it. Like I don't- Yeah, but I think a lot of people that get it do love it. Yeah. And it'll slowly catch on.

The thing is like the last two years have been like Silicon Valley executives giving testimony being like, we need to be very careful with AI. Oh yeah. AI is scary, AI could end the world. And it's like, dude, you're the one that's making the AI. Can we just not do AI? No, it's already there.

Can we just say, bad idea? Someone will do it. Put it in reverse? We already have. Don't you know, though, that if it's released to the public now, it means they've had it for a decade? Yeah, that's true. They've already had it.

The government's not going to let something come out like this unless they've already been tooling with it and regulating it behind our backs, and then finally going, all right, give it to the idiots now. It's fine to give it to them now. I mean, you hear those stories from like, dude, look at how long it took them to admit aliens,

we actually have proof of unidentified objects. Now, after 20 years of, 30 years of them being like, shut up, you idiot, there are no aliens, stop it. And then now they're like, yeah, what are you gonna do? You're up, you idiot. There are no aliens. Stop it. And then now they're like, yeah, what are you going to do? Yeah. They're there. Big deal. The craziest part of that story was that, and this might be like the biggest story ever that aliens exist and that was Tom DeLong from Blink 182 that got the government to admit it. Yeah, dude, I know he's like big on pushing it, huh?

Yeah. Huge. He's the one that got like the Navy to release the videos of the UFOs. There are aliens. Yeah. And then everyone was like, oh, Taylor Swift has a new boyfriend this week. He's the one that got the Navy to release the videos, the UFOs. There are aliens. Yeah. And then everyone was like, oh, Taylor Swift has a new boyfriend this week. That's pretty important. Right, that was a plant. Right, that wasn't actually real.

They don't have a real relationship. That was just to get the focus away from Tom DeLong and the aliens. Yep, he's too close. God bless, dude. Good. It was a good meetup, dude. That's a good distraction.

It worked really well. Yeah. Well, this has been great. I have one last question. Rowback question, r-h-o-b-a-c-k dot com promo code take. 20% off your first purchase. Q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, everything. Rowback dot com promo code take.

Are you gonna move to Austin, like every other comedian in the world? No dude, no that's not for me. If I was gonna move anywhere, we were gonna make a shift to New York. We couldn't, family stuff, it just didn't work out. So we couldn't. And then if I was gonna go anywhere outside of LA,

it would be Chicago or New York. Come work in this office. Yeah, dude, I know, but then I have to drag Bobby, because our podcast is doing great, and it's like, he won't leave LA. He refuses to leave LA, he refuses to leave LA because I told him we can relocate to somewhere fun Let's try something new but the pod is doing better than it's ever done. So he doesn't want to leave Yeah, and look at this like you guys had you have to like physically make everyone agree on being in the same place Yeah, cuz the zoom shit. Well, it's not the same. Yeah, it's whack. It doesn't work. You need to be together

So as long as me and the Bob are gonna be doing doing our show, we'll be in Smell Like. Yeah. You guys have been doing a lot of like live podcast tours too. Yeah. We do. We do. We have four left. We do like Canada, we do Windsor and Niagara Falls and then we end in Vegas on 420. When you do those, do you do like a whole different show or is it just a live podcast? We do. We do stand-up. We have an opener and then we each do stand-up. We each do like 20 to 30 minutes of stand-up. So you get like an hour and, we do stand-up, we have an opener and then we each do stand-up. We each do like 20 to 30 minutes of stand-up. So you get like an hour and some change of stand-up up top

and then we do another hour and some change of bits from the show. That's awesome. And it's audience involvement. It's so much fun, man. It's so stupid and free and you know, they get involved and we do trivia questions and we do scene readings with them and it's, I mean, the fans,

it's been the coolest thing to see this transition of like, they're stand-up fans, but then they also wanna be interactive in that world of the Bad Friends weird world. We're going to Abu Dhabi in May. Oh shit. We're doing Bad Friends in Abu Dhabi. We've been offered to do live shows,

but we always struggle with like, what are we gonna do, do the podcast in front of everyone? That kinda sucks. You gotta give people more. Smartless does it, it Bateman and those guys but they bring out a big named guest, right? Yeah, right You'd have to just bring out a big athlete and and and play some kind of game with them that people would want to see Yeah, you know like get Aaron Rodgers out there too We also have like consciously been like well It's not do live tours and then like in 20 years when we want to cash one big check,

we'll be like, reunion tour. Oh, that's smart. Like Rolling Stones. You like the Stones. Yeah, we're like, hey, one time only. We were going to do one in New York, but it was going to be at a James Dolan arena. And James Dolan has banned Barstool Sports from any place

that has Reelons. That's real? Yeah, so he shut it. We had it set and everything. He closed it down. It was whatever comedy festival it was, like the newer comedy festival. But Dolan is the Knicks

Yeah, but he owns a lot of shit. Yeah, but the garden is a separate company, right? He doesn't own I think he owns it all. Yeah, he does. You can ban people from MSG I'm pretty sure you can ban anyone. Because MSG owns a ton of other venues I didn't know that he was the head of that. Oh because we sold like a sell the team shirt Yeah, and he got mad like instantly like 20 minutes later. How can 20 minutes later. How can we make it up to James Dolan? I don't know, but I respect the fact that he has this big grudge against our entire company. Where he's like, I'm going to use my power and not let

them perform at any venue that I own. Does Portnoy and him have a thing? Did that happen? No, we did sell the team shirts. And then he emailed the guy who bought our company in 2016 he emailed them within 20 minutes and was like what is this and then that was it and then we also had what we one of our guys did hiss at him publicly like he was walking on the street and he went I got arrested at the dog show at MSG so

that put me on his radar but you get hissed at once in a while yeah you get hissed at happen I will say for everything that James Dolan, he seems like not the best guy in the world. I would say that being a rich guy and then making a band and making people go see your band, that rules. Yeah. Like I would do that if I had his money.

Well, that's like Corey Feldman, right? He's back with a band now. I think it's cool when you get rich and successful and then you just wanna have a band. Right, yeah. Yeah, we should start a band. Sure, yeah. Let's do it. He with a band now. I think it's cool when you get rich and successful and then you just want to have a band Right. Yeah, yeah, we should start a band. Sure. Yeah, do it. He has a band. I got a band actually now that you say like Yeah, that's kind of what I do. Yeah come what you have to come watch my band But yeah, I would just like it's like when the owner buys a team. It's like I just fucking coach the team, too Yeah

Well, what do you do after that point when you own like I saw the woman that owns the Kings or as a partner in the Kings she gave the Pope Kings Jersey. Yeah, that's cool. The Pope is probably like thank you The Pope probably has a closet filled with the stupidest shit Jersey But I just think Jersey is so funny at one night when he takes off the robe He's sitting there and he's like maybe I put on the Jersey. Yeah pros on the Sacramento Fox he's pretty good and he's doing like he's your own stepping

He's doing the kid And he's doing like a... He's zero stepping. Yeah. Yeah. He's doing the kid countdown. We're like, three, two, one. Yeah. All right, well, everyone check out Santino when he's on the road. His new movie out, Bad Friends podcast. You got it all.

I got a last question. Oh yeah. So I saw the video that you did with Bobby Atof. How do you say your name? Oh yeah. Bobby Atof. Atof. It was incredible. Bobby Althoff. Althoff. It was incredible.

It was very funny. So fun. While you were shooting it, where you're like, this is exactly the right way that I was hoping it was gonna go. Cause she's used to making people feel uncomfortable. You made her feel uncomfortable. Well, because it was like, I just,

I don't even know how to explain it, but they wanted me to like do teacher standup. That was the bit. And then I said no. And then the producer was like, well, what do you want to do? And I was like, I want to go golf. I like golf. If I'm not working, I want to play golf.

So I was like, let's play golf. At least I can go hit balls and because my days are so stacked. I'm like, it'd be nice to just go hit balls and then she can do an interview like that if you want it somewhere. So they made a few phone calls and we went to the range and I was there like 40 minutes before her because she was late. So immediately when she was late,

as I was hitting balls I thought, I'm gonna puppeteer this whole interview. Like I'm gonna drive this entire thing. I just was making up my mind as I was hitting balls. I didn't think about it before then. Until then she was late and when she showed up late and I started giving her shit about it, her response immediately put me in gear.

It was like, I didn't really do it. The universe was like, this is how this has to go. Because as I thought about controlling the interview just to give her shit, she played into it very well. She played into it enough where I couldn't stop. Once I started, I was like, oh dude, this is what I'm going to do the whole time. It was so good. It was so fun to do, man. We're trying to do something else,

cause I think, you know, it's an interesting play the way she does it. Yeah. She did a good job, and she was mean to Bobby Lee. Yeah, I saw that tennis, yeah. So I said, I'm gonna get her back a little bit. Like I have to go there and defend you for her, even though I talked shit about him to her,

I still was like, you know, just fucking with her a little bit, I felt like it was the necessary thing. We stand up for our partners, man. Did you see the one comment afterwards that made me laugh so hard? You said, the funniest bit was when you were talking about your assistants and you're like, I pay the woman assistant less, she's way better,

but I pay her less because you have to. Someone commented, they're like, if women get paid less, they should have to pay less taxes. No, I didn't and someone responded They're like, yeah, that's how taxes work By the way, it's just the IRS commenting it's an IRS bot Was so fucking fun, yeah, that was that was awesome. We're gonna we'll figure some other stuff I just want to make more golf content fun stuff because to bring more fun to golf because of People perception we have an idea that we've been floating around with it. You might want to yeah with us we're going to

All me PFT and Hank are gonna eat and eat the mushrooms and then we'll have someone dressed as toad in the foursome And we'll just see how it goes. Oh shit. It's a big idea. If you don't want to eat the mushrooms, you could be Toad. No, I'd be down for the mushrooms. Oh, okay. All right. I'm more down for the mushrooms in golf than I am for Toad.

Yeah, yeah. But I do think- But just watching it just unravel. I like that. I think to throw a wrench in that, you should have a lot of characters from- Just popping out of the woods? Popping out of the woodwork. Yeah.

I think that's what we were saying initially was like we all get dressed up, the caddies all get dressed up, you're somebody in the Mario universe. So I actually agree with this even more. I would love to do if all of us played a Mario character. Yeah. Yeah, that would be more fun if we're all somebody, cause then you're gonna embody the character.

Yeah, then you have to talk like Luigi. Start doing the sounds, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh no. Triple bogey. Yeah. With Wario playing golf. Alright, so you're in. I'm in for sure. We've got you attached, perfect. Let's. Perfect. I'll do it. That sounds rad. Alright, thanks so much

Thank you boys Andrew Santino is brought to you by proper 12. It's st. Paddy's Day weekend. It's almost arrived Proper number 12 is here to remind you practice makes proper proper 12 is brought to you by a true Irishman Dublin 12's own the the notorious Conor McGregor. Proper 12 pays homage to Conor's Irish hometown roots, a rich and smooth blend of golden grain and single malt, aged four years in bourbon barrels. Anything else just wouldn't be proper. Pour the roar of the St. Paddy's Day with a proper green tea shot made with smooth and

rich proper Irish whiskey. Tell them I want a proper green tea shot. That's how I'm starting my St. Patty's Day this weekend. On Saturday morning, we're going to be out on a boat. Hank and I hitting the high seas of Chicago celebrating St. Patty's Day. Love it. Dyeing the river. Dyeing the river and we're going to start first drink of the day. What's it going to be Hank? A proper green tea shot? Yep.

Proper green tea for the boys. Celebrating St. Patty's with the original rich and smooth proper number 12 or new crisp and fresh Irish apple. Okay. Fire Fest of the week. I want to hear from memes too, Fire Fest. Yeah. Yeah. You know what memes, why don't you start with your Fire Fest? So we did the 24 pancake challenge. Memes, you were the big loser by the way I was thinking about this morning it dawned on me that we had the joke like no one cares about your fantasy team and then we had dingers only which was a lot of fun and then we're like let's just do all of them I don't know if we want to do pancakes

next year I don't really know I don't even know who was on my team I think you got to pick one guy was untrackable it was untrackable we played ourselves with this pancake leagues I was like wait can I even name one guy. It was untrackable. It was untrackable. We played ourselves with this pancake league. So I was like, wait, can I even name one guy on my team? Yeah, I picked all tackles. Yeah. I think Jake had the right idea, which was draft just people that we know from the show. Yeah.

But I think we do one person. One person. One person pancake league. Just get all the pancakes. All right. So memes, I left at like 1130, you had like seven pancakes left or hours. How did the rest of the night go? You just kept on saying there's no room There's no room when we tried to get you to eat Yeah, so there was no more room left and then 12 15 hit I took a big bite

Threw up. Oh And a room made room and then finished the last two did you throw up on the live stream no I had to run to the bathroom oh I told you you could pull trig at that point yeah he kept getting up and everyone was like don't don't want to puke I was like I want to go home yeah yeah I think that was fair the eating challenges are always the same it's always like in your head you're like that's not that hard and then the minute you get into it you're like this fucking sucks memes always the same. It's always like in your head. You're like that's not that hard And then the minute you get into it you're like this fucking sucks memes treated the same way He treated the stand-up thing which he was just like it's gonna be fine. Yeah, but then he got there

There was no plan of attack. He ate what seven pancakes hit a wall mega wall mega wall hit eight I mean, I do you want me to do a eating competition to prepare the next time? Yeah, there is really no preparing for it It's more the only preparation the only preparation is to say this is gonna suck and not I'm gonna eat it in three and a half Hours, and I'm gonna go hamburger mode and dominate. Yeah, I think you also might have drank 400 bottles of water. Oh, yeah, cuz it didn't I was calling the water boy Oh, yeah, cuz it didn't I was calling the water boy Do I think the preparation next time is just getting mentally tough read the art of walls the it was a banana that was he Kept just being like the banana banana. Did everything you use you and the strawberries. Yeah, you fucked him with the straw

I think the strawberries were delicious. No, I think it was really good. He was trying everything. Yeah, trying to get our boy, you know back I was willing to baby-bird it I at the end I was willing to chew it and then spit it into your mouth if that would help because I was I was Sick of just sitting there watching memes being like come on memes do something It's also tough when you're watching like as you know, I'm sure the viewers feel the same way when you're watching someone with just one little Panky easy. Yeah, just eat it eat it Yeah, but we were on the inside here like it you can't like I're like easy. Yeah, just eat it eat it. Yeah, but we were like you're like it You can't like I wanted my body's gonna explode just eat it

We're doing but you know, I think just eat like what did you just say? It's a shoot it. We were just like, yeah Come on. It's right there. Just eat it mind over batter. You can do this me We were yeah, we were we were sitting on the couch being like I never would have fumbled that ball No easy. So we let's try onto the ball. Just eat it. What are you doing? Memes did you think about eating it? I did think about eating it. The only regret was stop initially stopping after the eight. Yeah Yeah, that was tough So yeah I I like the like it was funny content because especially because we had max freaking out next to him while memes is in hell

But I do think we for future fantasy leagues. We have to do it where we can actually track it and care about it Yeah, that was our mistake the pancakes we had no idea who won how they were winning the updates were just like, okay Jake did a great job updating but it was like, okay, we got I got six this week Okay, so a couple a couple other ones we could do touchdowns touchdowns that's easy to track I saw easy just on punt yards just everyone gets a punter an injury league you draft one guy that you think is going to get injured we also already have a competition during football season that's true yeah good point and we bet every Sunday so there's really don't need to do it we don't need to replace

this with anything yeah like I think Dingers only was a was an idea that's going to last because that idea is we want to learn more baseball players and we don't have anything really going on during the summer. So that one counts. But yeah, I agree. The it is pancakes only might be a might be a thing of the past. Hank. And stand up. And stand up. Hank. Firefest? Yeah. I, two Firefests, both mine, nothing crazy. What did you do with your tree?

I stored it in a closet. I made some space. Oh, so you did have space. Yeah, as you were kind of saying that to me, a light bulb went off. I had to move some things around, but it was good. I had been putting off basically completing my move into my condo Which I moved into in June like I got eighty eighty five percent in and then I was like I'm good And then I was like, you know, eventually I'll finish this off and finally I moved the tree and then I was like I'm doing it I ordered some stuff. I ordered a chair different rug

Ordered those to my old apartment in Hoboken, which I realized today. And then I lost the remote for my TV in my bedroom somewhere. Oh, you're fucked. So two nights in a row I've just been like, where the fuck is this thing? That's brutal. Where the fuck is this thing? It's funny to think that Hank might have a lady friend over at the apartment, she's looking for towels, looking to use a shower And then she opens up a closet and a tree just falls on her Different different closets, but yeah of all the fire fest losing your remote might be number one

Yeah, like that is it's just You feel so helpless and you're like, I can't what am I gonna do? You need to get it you need to get on I have all my TVs on on an app now on my phone Yeah, it's like one TV you think it's easy and like sometimes you know I'll just put on like a golf it or something fall asleep and and then but you know last night I got back at 230 and I was like I'll just fall asleep but then once you don't have the remote you're like oh I could just watch this and I fall asleep yeah then I was up to like four it's bruised tough that's brutal you know what else is

brutal I'm going through this right now My my remote is out of batteries and then damn I'm just that one's easy I'm just too lazy to look for batteries and then you do the thing I've done the thing where I Xbox controller nearby I don't but you take the batteries out and then you like rub them in your oh, yeah real quick Oh, I sat on batteries like an a the other night I was like like a bird it works up the battery you put it back in it works again Yeah, until I've I've lost all recourse like trying to MacGyver my way into having electricity, I'm going to stay downstairs. I'm going to watch TV. And then once all other

options have failed, then I'll go upstairs, find the batteries and now new remote. Yeah. What about the TV you could put on your head? Oh, no, that's in the office right here. I'm taking that back. Yeah. I'm the same thing. I just keep putting, I just keep going back and forth between my TV remote and my Xbox controller. Oh, yeah.

And it is the most infuriating thing ever. It is. Because whenever I want to do the other thing, the remote is never in there. And it's also extra infuriating when you realize that we live in 2024. And if you just went on Amazon, you could have batteries in like four hours.

You could have enough batteries to last your life Yeah, I could it's so easy You can order so many batteries on Amazon that you would get put on like a terrorism watch list right and it's very easy to do But until I there's also something nice I feel like I've gone out and like hunted for my own dinner when I'm able to like restore electricity to the battery real quick Yeah, I'm out of the bat. I'm out of the like not having battery game just because with all the Toys for kids. We just have a drawer that has like 300 batteries. Yeah, you know what? I'll max remind me tomorrow morning

I'll bring in some batteries for you the battery to solve it easy Okay. Yeah, I literally live above a grocery store that has a million batteries. I Bring them in for you no problem okay PFT your fire fest yeah my fire fest the week this is a this is a weird one but I've got a car filled with Yerimere Yager bobbleheads that I get rid of so anybody out there is interested in getting some I'll take one yeah one yeah okay 500 bucks what what's the catch here there's no catch there was a truck that got hijacked today.

So all the commemorative Yarmir Yager bobbleheads. The Pittsburgh Penguins were having Yarmir Yager bobblehead night tonight. For everybody that bought a ticket, you were going to get a bobblehead. And the truck got hijacked. And so somebody is holding these bobbleheads high. Or I actually think I allowed myself to wander a little bit on this one. I don't think the bobbleheads high or I actually think I allowed myself to wander a little

bit on this one. I don't think the bobbleheads existed. I think maybe I think that maybe there were no bobbleheads and the penguins are like fuck it's bobblehead night. We forgot to order these things. We forgot to order. Yeah. It's Jesse Smollett. Yeah. Jesse Smollobblehead night. Yeah. And they're like well we don't have oh yeah the cops we call the cops are looking into it right now. Yeah. Find those bobbleheads. So if they were real, cause I like your theory, but if they were real, I saw a lot of people saying, imagine the guy who goes and hijacks a truck and thinking he's getting a bunch of TVs as a bunch of bobbleheads. I completely disagree. Yeah. Bobbleheads are commemorative

bobbleheads are pricey these days. People love that shit. I think that was a targeted truck to hijack. A thousand percent. Yeah. When he just described it, that wasn't like a coincidence. That was a, that was a Pittsburgh super fan trying to recreate the town. Yeah. It's the town. It's like two, it's like two yinzers parked underneath, uh, underneath the Heinz field with, with just a truck to like who's can we take it? Yeah. And they just got it. And those will go for a lot of money. I think I saw

a couple on eBay already. Yeah. So yeah, yeah. They were on eBay for like 300 bucks. Yeah. That's not listen, if these are fucking stolen bobbleheads, that price should be 3000. Yeah. Like I guess I'm gonna make a lot of money off this. It actually it makes me want to buy one more knowing that it's stolen Yeah, a stolen yammer yager bobblehead is something that I lust for can you imagine if they did? Instead of a bobblehead it was just a bobble mullet and just the mullet part of his hair bobbled back and forth blown in the wind That would be cool. That'd be sick. That's what it is. Yeah, if they are real I would we should we should purchase one. Yes agreed

So if you're a listener and chances are I think probably the person that would hijack a truck of your miryager bobbleheads is probably an AWL might even be the dude dude who's like I'll Hijack this truck and I'll offer to the guys. I'll get an internship Yeah, yeah a free internship and let me say this if you can produce a thousand yammer yager bobbleheads We will give you an internship. So if you can give us one of them yammer yager bobbleheads we will give you an internship. If you can give us one of them. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Okay, maybe even a picture of all of them and then we will definitely not the picture No, we'll start the conversation This is a conversation if you can get us the picture

We will not you not get a job or an interview if you get the picture we start the conversation like damn That's a lot of bobbleheads boom conversation over. I want to I want a picture of a thousand bobbleheads next to Today's Pittsburgh Sun Times newspaper. Yep. Proof of life for these bobbleheads. OK.

It was last chance Uganda is a great series. It's it's some of the most compelling stuff I've ever seen and credit to Donnie because everything that he does is awesome But Billy was really the perfect person to bring on for this and there's if you haven't seen the clip yet There's an all-time clip of Billy in the aftermath. Let's just say Pete Prisca would not be happy with Billy

Yes, and the way that he reacted to losing a football game Yes All Donnie series are great and he always finds like the side characters and random people that are you know become the stars of the video so that was kind of Billy in in this one and as I saw the clip of that pft stock about before and it's unbelievable and Then I watched the whole video and there's like 20 other moments from Billy in the video that are just jaw-dropping I don't even know how to describe it. He was He was like roid raging on the

sidelines yelling at the refs, yelling at Donnie. Like the crowd was laughing at him. They didn't know what was going on. His other players were scared of him. Hank, he was passionate. He cared about the guys. No, it was great. It was, it was, it was Billy, Billy in his prime, prime form. He gave a great pump up speech. Yeah. Yeah. So shout out Pardon My my cheese steak and Billy and Donnie the part of my cheese steak Africa bowl. But yeah, I was watching it just as a fan. Then I for, you know, obviously I knew the part of my cheese steak, but I got sucked up in it and

they're like, all right, we got, we got ready. And then the boys started, they started decaling all their helmets and cleats with part of my cheese steak stickers. And yeah, a very surreal funny moment. The part of my cheese steak sticker on the cleat. It was my cause, my cleats, but just for part of my cheeseesteak. Yeah, it was it was incredible. It was awesome watch I asked Billy about about the clip of him crying yesterday I asked him if he wanted to like get in front of it if there's any things that he'd like to comment some So to some additional context that he'd like to add to the clip and he thought about it and he started crying again Thinking about the loss we cried he cried in the postgame interview

I feel like they're in which I like I gave me was like yeah Listen you thought our fault you can you can like Billy's got his detractors out there for sure He's got some people that love him, too. I personally love Billy, but There's no better Billy than when he actually cares about something else and he actually deeply deeply cared about this game Yes, he ended up making great content out of it. Yes, he did. He did. Okay, my fire fest is this is the first St. Patrick's Day that I'm back in Chicago since I retired from St. Patrick's Day and I have the most FOMO possible. You can just go out.

Come out on the river. I want to, but I just can't because then it's just the time loss getting drunk because I know I won't be able To stop myself and I there's games on and then you know What is a go early dream? I'm gonna throw a weird weird idea out there big cat There and end up doing drugs. There's this place that has sports and beer and it's called a sports bar where you can do both Yeah, I know I know but that's that's not it. It's not the I can't why I know I could watch games somewhere It's the fact that if I if I was like I'm going out for st. Patrick's Day, there's there's no stopping

That sounds like the only stopping is not going out and I have FOMO because I used to love going out on st Patrick's Day in Chicago is the best. I don't believe it is the best also planned out my entire Saturday Yeah, no, I gonna hit the river early and then I'm gonna go to like two bars And then I'm gonna go back to my house at like 230 in the afternoon order way too much food. Yeah my house and I'm gonna watch basketball It's the best yes do like house parties in the morning bars in the afternoon fucking best Also, it's just March and I just forgot because we you know We stream all of NFL and it's fun and it's

good vibe. March is war. It's war. It's just such a different feel to it than NFL Sunday streams. We will be streaming all the games so you can watch us basically nonstop the next three weeks. But I just forgot we did the Pancake stream Wednesday night with the hoops and I just forgot that it's like I mean max had some moments where I thought he was gonna kill himself or

Possibly quit I had some moments where I was very upset So it's just a reminder that if you're watching us just remember that anything that's said between the white lines We don't count max was apologizing to us after like dude you don't have to apologize. Like immediately after the game. This is a totally different beast. March there there March brings out the worst in everyone in the moment. Once the game's over there's no apologies necessary. We say shit we don't think or believe we just we react. My favorite was right after the Villanova game Max just put his hand out and started shaking everyone's hand in the room apologizing. Yeah. Like the second the whistle blew it's like Max we this is not our first time watching you watch sports Yeah, and he you left the room for a little bit and he turned to me and he goes respectfully respectfully

Like the most aggressive respectfully everything respectfully. I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this tonight respectfully He stole my phone and then you came in PFT and you're like who who? Antagonized max to get him to this point and then max just turned he's like fuck you PFT I was like PFT you see it's not no one's doing anything It's literally just he exists and we exist in the same room as it max max looked at me. He's like Why are you standing up? Yeah, I was I just came back in the room I just walked into the room max so but it's it's fun So you can go back to where you came from at one point. Yeah, they was like, I just came back in the room. I just walked into the room. So but it's, it's fun. So to go back to where you came from at one point, they are, they

are my favorite streams. They are, they produce just hilarious moments. And I just want, I want to give a disclaimer to everyone watching that if you're like, oh, these guys are assholes or mean to each other. Yes, that might be true, but just know it's not actually deeper than that. It's literally in the moment. You know what I love about March is it's, it's not actually deeper than that. It's literally in the moment. You know what I love about March is it's like a series with all the different teams that you find yourself rooting for or getting, I don't want to say falling in love with. It's more like you have a bunch of one night stands with a bunch of different teams that you deeply care about

for like two hours. Yeah. And then you just move on to the next one. But a really special game in March will have you thinking about that one team and it'll make like a lasting memory for you So yeah, jelly walk. You remember when I rooted so hard for Marquis Noel Yeah, and and the best part is to to further that analogy You'll like have an incredible one-night stand with the team and then the next day you'll bet them again and they suck and you'll be

Like what like it's like almost turning on the lights. You're like what I just do. Yeah. Yeah Like we bet on Missouri first half yesterday. It looked like they didn't know how to play basketball I wish that there was a plan b for me watching that game. Yeah, or you just flush it out That was a tough one. I rode with you. That was that was a quintessential wednesday night, uh conference championship week We're betting just because it's on tv. It's fine. Not realizing these teams are just the worst teams in the country Yeah, they have not won it. are just the worst teams in the country. Yeah. They have not won, Missouri finished the season without winning

a conference game. Yeah. But they almost got that 33 and a half. All right, Jake finishes off. Yeah, also very excited the next few weeks, best time of the year. Yep. When I was in Florida for the golf tournament,

I went to the wrong hotel. Oh. They didn't have a reservation. You minceyed it. Kind of. They sent an updated email saying they changed hotel Reservations for us, and I missed that email So but it's alright learning experience. So when when you showed up were they just like this

You just don't exist. Oh, that's brutal. Yeah. Yeah, but sorry. It's March. That's tough I think we'll be okay. I keep telling myself that it's March. Max, we're taping this Fire Fest in the morning. Do you want to leave a little nugget for the Villanova game? We'll obviously talk about it at the start of the show. So you already heard what happened, but let me just get your confidence level and maybe a prediction right now so that we can go back and laugh. No, it was a disappointing year. Oh, it's over. Yes. Wow.

Now is disappointing here the dis oh it's over. Yes very wow Didn't show up didn't show up in the garden It's a place where we have excelled so many times in the past now. I'm rooting for Villanova I'm like max never believed max is you know what though max is slowly learning yeah slowly slowly But he forgets it pretty quickly. Yeah, he said last night afterwards. He's like Tomorrow like talking about Marquette verse Villanova. He's like, I'm not gonna get angry Low expectations low pain. That's what I keep telling myself. Okay. Yes What happens gonna be eight to mark? Can you be yelling? Yeah, I feel you will have a salted Rico Yeah, that's every the Rico factor is yeah real real problem Rico has reached the point where like it's rent-free now max

Yeah, Rico's rent free in your head. It just bothers me that like he just had your head is an open house No, what you say max is correct. It does bother me as well because he just has access He roots for every team but it's your team that he's rooting gets for no reason it does it irritate and he'll just Dax me out of it a Twitter video Adam this week I did I go kind of owns this whole podcast. He does me listen Rico's a he's a Content machine and he's a he's a guy that either love or you hate sometimes But our full phone in Northeast like it's one thing if if like me and PFT are going at added about like the right commanders Like right those are our teams, but the fact that I Rico you if you were to look at our text messages it's only Arizona Diamondbacks against

the Phillies like he's a diehard diamonds you can't yeah you can't like why I never feel bad about like needling you during bad games for your teams is because I've been in that seat many many times. Game seven of the World Series Cubs Indians, Dave came dressed up as Steve Bartman. Oh no, he had game six, he was Steve Bartman. Game seven, he had a full Indians uniform. So it's like, I wouldn't do it if I hadn't been there. Rico's not been in there. He doesn't have a team. He has every team. Yeah, no, yes, yes. He doesn't care about anything.

He cares about phone numbers. Okay. Rico's definitely jacking off to this. Yeah, we just did everything for him. Alright, numbers. 40. Oh, I'm gonna come. Oh, it's a great group of kids. Yeah. Three. Max, what's your number?
