He is the team principal of Team Red Bull. They're like the best NASCAR team in the world, right? Yeah, F1 racing, Monaco this weekend, awesome interview. One of those interviews where he started and he was like, who the fuck are these guys? And by the end, I think we were best friends. So very interesting. We're getting into new sports.

We're going to talk a little NBA playoffs, LeBron seeing triple, NHL playoffs are back. Well, I keep saying back, but they've been here. Well, no, now they're officially back because the regular season is now over. Oh yeah, that's true. Good point, good point. Tim Tebow's fat ass and Firefest of the Week.

Oh, no, we're going to rock down to electric avenue. Let me take it higher. Oh, we're going to rock down to electric avenue. It's part of my take, presented by Barstool Sports. Welcome to part of my take, presented by New Amsterdam Vodka, the official vodka of Barstool Sports. Today is Friday, May 21st.

And go team, you know? I actually don't think that the name of this podcast is part of my take anymore. Oh, no. It's not. It's Martian my Jake. Oh, no. It is.

It is your guy's, Jake Marsh podcast. I joined two years ago. You guys started this in 2016. I'm just a role player. No, it's your podcast. What we've seen. I'm helping on the side. Thank you for giving us permission

to have it still be our podcast alpha. Thank you, sir. This is a torch update with a podcast. And Jake is the alpha. And he just kind of cemented it. Well, I mean, we can go back and start with what happened today. Yes.

So for people who didn't see Stool Streams, Hank is Hank has created Frankenstein. He's great. Well, I think it's Dr. He is Dr. Frankenstein. Is that correct? And Frankenstein was the monster. He's created a monster.

So he creates Stool Streams. It's fantastic. It's it's great. You see people in the office competing. You can win money on the Play Barstool app. No big deal. But unfortunately, it's gotten away from him because he keeps playing Jake Marsh in Ping Pong.

And Jake Marsh is the most accidental alpha I have ever seen in my entire life. Today, he did a tylu, Alan Iverson step over of Hank, trying to help him up like he was injured or something. That's what makes Jake the true alpha is because none of this is intentional. Yeah, it's all natural to him. Like, lions don't watch Antelope run across the prairie

and think to themselves, I have to prove that I'm a lion. So I'm going to go kill it and eat its butthole. They just do it because it's part of their nature. Well, Jake, in this analogy, Jake is a lion. He eats the antelope. And then he says to the antelope, good, good chase. Yeah, he's like, sorry. Good chase, dude, as I eat your heart out.

Choking it out. He's like, I really hate to do this. Yeah, I didn't just a really good race that we had. I didn't mean to catch you like that and rip you to shreds. You're really good. You're really fast. Yeah, if I wasn't going to eat your heart out right now, I would expect you to totally be getting up from this

and running away. This would be, what do you, what? I mean, we won't say it's been too much time, but Hank, what is, are you okay? Hank's down bad, down real bad. Are you okay? I don't know. Yeah, I, the first one was bad,

but it also, I think Hank in his head was like, this is great for stool streams. That's just Jake's undercover psycho we never knew. And he was able to compartmentalize and move on. This one feels really bad because it's the second one. And again, the step over of another man's dead body. And it's also the fact that it's a visual. It's not a video that you have to watch.

It's just a picture. It's a picture. And a picture is worse because you can, you can photoshop a picture. Correct. You can put- This doesn't, this is the perfect picture. It doesn't need, doesn't need any photos.

He shall not be named, made a pretty good photoshop out of it. He added in P. Oh no. A little golden shower. What you're not seeing in that picture. He's doing, Wait, Billy's photoshopping you back.

Oh my God, from the fucking- What was- Billy stopped drinking for one second, woke up from his drunken like, May and was like, oh shit, I gotta make this picture even worse for him. What's crazy is that Jake has effortlessly accomplished everything that Billy had set out to do,

which has become the new alpha of the show and take all of our jobs. Jake didn't even try to do it and he's accomplished. Are you- I'm scared of you. I'm legitimately scared of Jake. Well, here's what I'll say. The only thing is that I'm gonna say is that,

in the first one, I think it was just a genuine outburst of emotion. Yes. Wasn't really at me, it was just to the world, I'm the best in the office, I'm the best one here. Right, fact check, true, yes you're right, Jake.

And this one, I felt the ground just, I had played two matches, people aren't talking about that, I had to play two matches, fell to the ground in exhaustion. You scheduled a match with P.F.D. before. We're all in the same room, Jake.

We're not okay. You lose. Don't need to scream. We are not okay. You don't need to scream. I felt the ground, I was exhausted. Yes. To catch my breath.

Jake came over, shook my hand, which was whatever. Walked away, then was talking to cameras, had this like little smile on his face as he's walking back, does the Jordan shrug and then steps over me.

So it's, you know- No, actually, I'm gonna throw a flag. He did the Allen Iverson step over, then the Jordan shrug. Absolutely not. Can I provide the truth to this story, please? Okay, well, real quick, I do wanna say Hank in Jake's defense,

there was a blog that just went up on the website, and the headline is great. Jake wrote this. The headline of this blog is, Sportsmanship, Not Disrespect. The real story of what happened after playing table tennis with Hank, in which he included all the necessary pictures and clips.

Again, accent, and featured it, mind you, featured it. I have no access to feature. Accidental outfit. Okay, let me explain myself. All right, yes, go ahead. What you don't see in the picture, because it's cut off, is me offering my arm out.

Yeah, I think that's worse. I think that's worse. I was trying to help him out. To pick him up off the ground. I mean, he wasn't dead. I was just trying to be a good sport. And you're not teammates. People who know me know that I try to be positive.

If you don't see people after the game finals, the Stanley Cup, like you don't see teams picking players up. That's the biggest ritual in the hockey playoffs. The handshake line. You know, but like I'm saying, like Adam Morrison, like you didn't see UCLA players coming over to Adam Morrison, like picking him up off the ground.

Because they know. When they shook hands afterwards, they definitely did. We shook hands, Jake. We did that. We had already shaken hands. We tried to help you out, Hank. All right, well, let's just, we have sports we're gonna talk about.

I do appreciate though, that Jake included the scores of the 21-9 match and the 21-14 match in the recap. I had forgotten the score. Also, it was the most obvious thing in the world that Jake was gonna make a B-line over to Hank to shake his hand. Twice.

No, I mean. Out of the sportsmanship. I should have double sportsmanship. Oh, double sportsmanship. Who does that? Wouldn't that cancel out your sportsmanship? No, it doubles it down. Double sportsmanship, I like it.

Jokes aside, people know who I am. No one's joking. No, no, no, we have not joked once. We're yet to tell a joke on this episode. So I went to thehealthy.com and I looked up how to fix a broken relationship, eight expert tips where it goes through like, do you have a broken relationship?

Signs of a broken relationship. You're not talking to one another. I was in this room with you guys for about 50 minutes, an hour, very few words. Two of you texted me. He's like, this is pretty tense. Yeah. I was like, I'm not coming in.

One of you has shut down. I feel like Hank, Hank's on his phone right now. Uh-huh. When we're trying to do a show. Researching. Is your relationship. How to kill a man, get away with it. Is your relationship worth saving, is the next question.

Oh, good. I think that's what you guys need to decide. Yeah, I don't know if it is. I don't know. I mean, they haven't said anything. And it looks like it isn't. Yeah, no, I mean, we gotta make it to the, we gotta, again.

You should fake a pregnancy. The other thing is that we're not talking about how it's still the regular season and it doesn't mean anything until the. There you go. There you go. Good spin zone, Hank. Two weeks ago to spin that one.

You haven't even lost. It does say you likely won't make it if your partner is physically abusive. So, I don't know. Jake's borderline. And Jake does keep saying like, I'll change this where it'll never happen again. Right.

And he just keeps doing it. And then it just happens. Triple sportsmanship the next time. Yeah. Yeah, the triple sportsmanship just like punch him. Yeah. I would never do that. That's not who I am.

No, I know. I'm sorry, sir. All right, let's talk about some sports. You guys are gonna figure it out. We'll be fine. Jake, you're an alpha. Enjoy it. I mean, you're electric.

You're an electric factory. Yeah, am I sad that I've lost a friend in Hank forever? Yeah, a little bit. But I've also gained a father figure in Jake. No, you guys are my mentors. Thank you. Thank you for being Hank. You guys have done a lot for me.

So, let's not spin that. I'm legitimately scared. So, I don't know how to respond. Jake, what would you like us to lead to show off with today? We have Tim Tebow talk. We have hockey and we have basketball. Your choice.

Your guy's a show. No, pick one. Pick one. You have to pick one. Pick one. As your boss, I'm telling you, you have to pick one. Yeah. Brooks tied for the lead.

Oh! Good call. That was an option. Yes, that's the alpha. God damn. All right, so Brooks Kepka tied for the lead. Looking great. He had a bad start, too.

I think he double bogeyed the first. Yeah, well, he had to play himself back into shape. Yeah. And that's what he did. People were talking about the angles and the chubby belly and the picture that came out on Wednesday. But it actually does say something about golf

that you can play yourself into shape on one hole. Yes. So Brooks is back. I just, man, we're like, him being in the contention this week would be awesome. But not only is Brooks playing well, I'm pretty sure Max is tied for 12th right now. Okay.

And Will is tied for 12th right now. He hold out an eagle on a par five, I think. All three of our guys are 12th or better. It's incredible. I was asking Max this the other day, is there a name for, if you get a hole in one on a par five? Because I know it's an albatross

if you get a double eagle, right? It's an un. It's a Kim Jong Un. I was thinking that we could name it. And I suggest- It should be a Kim. A super Max. Yeah.

For Max, you should just try to squat on that name for it. But I don't know if there's an actual golf term or not for it yet. Yeah, so the, what is it? Kiowa? Kiowa Island? It's gonna be windy. That's all I keep hearing.

That's all I keep telling people like, hey, you see that wind? Talking about that wind? What are you laughing about? Oh, just that confidence. Oh, okay, all right. Yeah, it's funny. I'm so on edge.

I'm so on edge. All right, next topic. Jake. Playing. Okay, playing game. I, I hate LeBron. I love him. All right, let me finish, let me finish, let me finish.

I hate LeBron, but holy shit, is he's so fun to like everything about him, the theatrics, the first half he's so passive. And there was a moment where it actually happened in two possessions. He passed up a layup and took like a fade away eight footer and bricked it. And everyone was like, ooh, LeBron, like, is he okay?

And then in the next possession, he went down the court and won like fast break. And you're like, oh, LeBron woke up and then he ended up hitting that three, which should have been us, a nine? Because he shot it on three rims? No, he was seeing three rims. And that post game press conference,

that was a laugh out loud funny. That's when I officially turned on LeBron because he, he had that line ready to go. He had watched Rocky. I think it's a line from Rocky. Like you see three guys, or I'm seeing three guys, Mick, hit the one in the middle.

Hit the one in the middle. It's a line from Rocky and he had it ready to go. And actually, if we're, if we're actually like going into LeBron's brain and seeing through his eyes, shouldn't that make it easier to hit the shot if there are three hoops? Yes, that's what I'm saying. But it should have counted.

I think it went in. Did it go in? No, it went in one. Yeah, no, we, I don't know though. No, he said he shot at the one in the middle. It went in the, one in the middle. Were they overlapping? So it could have been, I figured it's like,

the left hand hoop is halfway in the right, in the middle hoop. And the right hand hoop is halfway in the middle hoop as well. So like a Venn diagram. Venn diagram. Did he brick two and hit one? I think so.

Okay. Either that or he didn't say if they were side by side. Maybe they were on top of each other and it went through all three. That would have been a nine pointer. Right. That's, it could have been a nine pointer. Cause it could have also been like the All-Star game where they bring out the big hoop.

Yeah. Or it could have been like the rims were just slightly off a little bit. You know what I mean? So he was kind of seeing three. I mean, seeing three is also a sign of being intoxicated. Which she, she, she might have been seen stopped. He was out with Drake. Doing a little unvaccinated party.

I think, and I know that game was awesome. I stayed up for it. Not saying I'm a hero, but I did. I think LeBron drinking the night before with Drake proved my point that that game didn't really matter. Cause like there's no way if that was a real playoff game, elimination game he's going to be out drinking

with Drake tonight. Well, what he's done is he's become the reverse Skip Bayless of himself because he builds in his excuses every time too. So while Skip was saying, if they don't win by at least 20, which they didn't. So technically the Warriors won. It would be a disappointment.

LeBron saw that. He's like, well, I'm going to go out with the most famous person in the world, have my picture taken, be like, oh, dang. I didn't think that they were going to get me out of the club with my guy, Drake. I would. They caught me sipping.

I would try to have a low key night with Drizzy and they got me. And then, and then he's got his excuse just in case they do lose. But the, the poke in the eye from Draymond, I would have loved it if he had come out wearing an eye patch, like a Mike Zimmer last shot. That would have been hilarious.

So Draymond needs a little credit because he was awesome defensively. I also, Draymond's three point shot is like a bad joke in a party. Like he, whenever he takes, like the Warriors can be going rolling. And then he'll take his three point shot that looks like he's got a piano on his back

and it will just be record scratch. Like, ooh, he should have done that. But he has to keep shaking him because they leave him wide open. And he was, he was great. Steph was obviously fantastic. Steph's so much fun. Steph, also, if you saw afterwards,

I think LeBron said I was seeing triple and Steph was like, come on, dude. Yeah. Like, get the fuck out of here. CJ, it's the stuff. CJ McCall online to. Yeah. Aim for the middle one.

Yeah, aim for that middle one. And then I think, unfortunately, the Lakers are gonna repeat. You think so? I, I, they're gonna have trouble with the Suns, I think. No. That sucks so bad for the Suns. They haven't made the playoffs in forever.

And so I said that right after the game and some people were like, dude, the Suns are really good. I agree the Suns are really good. But if you're the Suns, if you're a Suns fan, you can't tell me that you were pumped about the fact that you have your best team in 15 years and you happen to match up with the defending champions and LeBron James for your first round matchup.

Definitely. That's terrible. Right, right. That's not ideal, but I do think that the Suns are good enough to, they can win. I'll borrow a phrase for myself. They could win this series.

They need to get back in their team building exercises. I think go with what worked for you in the bubble. Just get some thought, get the team sucked going. Yeah, member Jake's gonna be number one. Or is he last? Now I think he's one now, he's gonna go first. So the Lakers, the reason why I think they're gonna, it's basically LeBron is going to,

what you saw in the second half when he's, even though he's never gonna be 100% again, he just decides like, oh yeah, I remember I'm LeBron and I can go to the rim whenever I want and I can dominate this game. And then Anthony Davis, when he, Anthony Davis, like, he needs, he's, what's the old, there's an old like children's story,

the elephant that's scared of the mouse. Is that something? I don't know, here's a who. Maybe. Anthony Davis, like half of the games, he just forgets that he's a seven footer and better than everyone. Like in the first half, he forgot that he was seven feet

and better than everyone. And then the second half, he was like, oh yeah, I'm seven feet and I'm the best guy here. Well, sometimes the mark of a true alpha is knowing when to concede. True. And when Alex Caruso is on fire, you feed that beast. Yeah, the crew show.

So as long as Anthony Davis remembers that he's seven feet tall and awesome at basketball and LeBron, you know, decides like, hey, remember I'm LeBron, I just, I don't know, it's weird to say a seven seed and the Lakers have looked bad at times and they, when they look bad, they look really bad, but I don't know, like, are you really gonna bet against LeBron right now?

They also didn't play for like, LeBron and Anthony Davis didn't play combined for like the whole regular season together. Correct, right. So I don't think the seed matters. No, it doesn't. Right, it doesn't matter. It just matters, I mean, a game seven,

but then you have to ask like, how many fans? Right. Yeah. Well, I think by this weekend it'll be like fully open. Or next weekend. Arizona seems like a, In LA? Yeah.

Arizona, yeah. You can be anything you want at all times. Pretty sure the 29th, like all the fucking, all the wheels, the wheels come off. At least in Massachusetts. Hell yes. All right, so the, we have the setup now. Oh yeah, the Grizzlies beat the Spurs.

That was great. Everybody watched that. That was fucking awesome. The only comment I'll ever have about the Grizzlies is, They're the same team. But I'm a rider. They're the same team year to year. And they're a team that's like, kind of nasty,

kind of tough. Yeah, grit and grind. Yeah, grit and grind. And my only other comment is that I missed the Vancouver Grizzlies uniforms. Bring those back. They have worn those a couple of times this year. And also, Pop, I know that it's cool to be like the

funny, like older genius, but his look is, it's gone real far. He embraced this quarantine. His hair. And the thing is like, His hair and his like, just his whole everything. Pop's also been around barbers. Like teams have barbers that stay in quarantine

with him to get their haircut. So he doesn't really have an excuse. I think a lot of guys, once they hit their 60s, they're just like, I am not getting any hotter at this point. But so we have first round this weekend. I'm very excited. I think it's gonna be great.

We talked about the heat in the box. I think that starts on Saturday. So that's like the bonus of all this is, usually it's the first week of May, first week in a May, when we have like the start of all these playoff series. So we have eight games on Saturday and Sunday. I think, I mean, Mavericks and Clippers are gonna be great.

Hank, do you give your Celtics a chance against the Nets? No, I think we might get a game or two. I think it's gonna be, I've rewatched the last dance recently. Like I know everyone talked about it during the pandemic ad nauseum, but unbelievable documentary. I think it's gonna be like when Jordan faced the Celtics

like his first year or whatever in the playoffs where. Tatum's gonna have a couple of games. Yeah, he's gonna have a couple of crazy games before the better team will win. So what changed between today and like two days ago? Cause you were feeling pretty confident. Was I? Nah.

Oh, those are the sixers. You were saying that you could beat them. We would beat the sixers. I'll say that right now. If we were playing the sixers, we'd beat them, but. Oh no. All right. Can we get this off the TV?

Yeah, the TV's. They're replaying stool streams. I think we know that. We were doing well. We were doing well. This is you though. What are you talking about? This is you written all over.

How is it me? I don't, I don't control this. Just, yeah. Can we just turn that TV off? Nah, actually leave it on. Bob, if you want to turn one of these cameras and put it on the TV so we can have a live stream going for all the people that are watching.

It's just the graphic. Oh, it's just the graphic. Oh, so they're not gonna show the game? No. All right, good. Yeah, so Sunday, we're gonna just say the wizards beat the Pacers. Sure.

I don't know. I don't know. The Pacers won by like 30 points in their playing game. Okay, we'll say the Pacers beat the wizards. Yeah, that sounds better. All right, so the sixers and the Pacers, I'm very excited for the Sun's Lakers. That's 330 on Sunday, which, yeah, it's gonna be great.

A lot of sports all weekend. Anything else in NBA before we ask Jake where we can go to next? I'm good on NBA. That suit, no, actually, I want to go back because I was telling you that if there was a good playing game, you would like to play in format. And last night we had a good playing.

Yeah, it was, but I stand by the fact that I don't need to see a 33 and 39 team play an extra game to see if they get in the playoffs. Right, but if all it gave us was the Lakers playing the Warriors. Yeah, they should have retired after that. And LeBron James hitting the legendary eyeshot. Yes, I just think that do eight, nine.

I'm cool with eight, nine. LeBron James. I think the seven, 10 thing is stupid. LeBron, eight, nine, son, death. One game. Eight, yes, exactly. Eight, nine, son, death. One game.

Yes, yes, exactly. I mean, this is a very atypical year because you have the defending champs being the seven seed. How many times do seven and eight seeds win in the NBA playoffs? Very rarely. LeBron put up an Instagram post about that shot yet. To his former self.

Yeah, he definitely, he's like, I was seeing in the future, my eyes were so screwed up past LeBron. He thinks that was his Willis Reed moment. He might actually come out and lay an egg in this series because that one shot, he was so emotionally draining. Yes, that's true. All right, let me do a quick ad read from our friends

It's a great double overtime game yesterday. Okay, Hank, this is good for you. This is great, actually. This is good, Hank. Hey, congratulations on a big overtime win. I'll be the bigger man and congratulate you immediately. Not to be a downer, but there was a big stream at the office last night.

I just didn't get invited to it. Oh, yeah, it was mostly for like big content names. Right, on the stream. Jake, were you there? Jake, were you there? I was not. Were you invited, though? I was not.

But yeah, it was a good game. I watched it at home by myself and I was happy Bruins won. I just hope that at this point, the Bruins and Caps go seven games and every game goes so well. I can't do it. Also, Obi's falling apart.

Obi's falling apart on the scene. I can't do any more. Did you see it? So after it was over, Sam Sonov had a great game for the most part, except for the very end. Obi screamed at him after that last goal. I saw, I looked up what the translation was.

According to the lip readers online, of which there are many, he told Sam Sonov, don't sleep tonight, bitch. Ooh. So I don't know if Obi's gonna kill him. He might be dead. Yeah. One of Putin's guys might've come into the room last night.

That's a tough one, say to a teammate. Yeah, don't sleep, bitch. Am I crazy? I always remembered the pronunciation being Sam Sonov. That's a different, yeah. Oh, okay. It is a different person.

Different person. Completely. Because every time they say it, I'm like, is there a mandate where all of a sudden the announcers have to really like enunciate the Suh, Sam Sonov? It's a different guy. All right.

Let's see how that would be confusing to a casual. Um, the, I actually do think that the best way to turn the series around right now, because like two overtime losses in a row, it's not the same as just two regular, you know, three period losses where you lose by a goal. It's emotionally draining. You have to come out,

and I think Tom Wilson has to get into a fight. I think he has to try to fight Marchand. Well, this, let me ask this, must win or can't lose? It's a can't lose. Yeah. I thought about that. I thought about it. What's really starting to make me upset is

I have to start mentally preparing myself for this might be Ovi's last season, because he's a free agent. And you have to eat Olive Garden until you puke. Yeah. I did say I would stop using that's cap if the caps came back and won. So that's on the line.

So I'm a caps fan now. Officially on the line. I figured that's a good way to get people around me. I will stop using that's cap. I will, effective game seven or game six, whenever we win this thing, I will stop using that's cap for the rest of my life. I will never say those words again.

Okay. That's my solemn promise to you. Other series avalanche are awesome. I love their uniforms too. I think they were wearing like throwback uniforms last night. They look sick. And speaking of uniforms, the Oilers, they wore the worst uniforms that they have.

And you can't do that in the playoffs. You can't bring out your worst sweater. Which ones were they wearing in the bar? They were in the black ones with like the orange silhouette. Yeah, I don't like it. You can't do that. Especially when you have one of the best regular uniforms ever.

Right. The blue is an orange. It's the playoffs. Blue and orange is a great color combination. It's the playoffs. Except for the Mets. We're gonna have biz on on Sunday night. So we will do some in-depth hockey talk, we promise.

So did you hear what Patrick Sharp said on the broadcast? I'm hot. And I have three rings. He's like, I've got great hair. I've got a lot of championships. Big cats taking a picture of me right now at home probably. And he mentioned the fact that you can just jam the goal with a bunch of players.

I asked Ryan, Whitney, and BizNasty about that. These are two scholars. And they both said that they are not aware of a rule that would prevent an entire team from playing the stack and just laying on each other's backs and blocking the goal. So there it is. Figure it out, people. Do that.

Park the bus. All right. Next topic. Jake. No hitters are happening every day. Oh, my god. I'm so sick of them. You know what?

Who's gonna throw tonight's no hitters? It's just like, I think there'll be two tonight. Yeah, probably. No lot of day games. The fact that the Yankees haven't had the five night games. It actually bumps me out because the only the Cubs had for a long time, it was like one of the only records the Cubs had.

Well, that and having the longest drought, like World Series drought. But they had the longest time period of not being no hit. Cole Hamill's no hit. And I think it was like 2014, 15, 15 maybe. And it would have been an awesome record to have right now. Because it was like 25, 30 years or something. In today's game, it would be like, holy shit,

that would be the new no hitter to be like, we haven't been no hit. Right. I actually think that throwing no hitters have gotten, it's like Chuggy now. Yeah. It's like kind of overdone. It's lame.

Hank's shaking his head. You don't think it's Chuggy, Hank? Just everything you say. What? Well, everything I say is Chuggy? Yeah, work for Barstool. It's like 3-1 Green Shootin' to 3, you know? Doesn't look natural.

It's Chuggy, it's Chuggy AF. It's honestly, it's cringe. Want to hit this, cousin? That was big yikes. Big yikes. I don't know about that one, Chief, when guys are throwing no hitters out there. I don't know.

What is it? What was the old one that you made me say like two years ago? I don't know about that. That one, Chief. Yeah. That one, Chief. Yeah. All right.

But seriously, no hitters are lame now. Yeah, no, they're not cool. And guys strike out too much. Guys don't fucking hit for contact. They're trying to aid home runs. I actually think it's been the shift. It's gotten selfish to the point where like your defense isn't getting the reps in.

So fielding percentage is down. Yeah. The seams are bigger. They added an extra seam on the baseball this year. All right, here's anyone can throw. Here's what they should do is they should not count no hitters where if you get any outs with the shift. Yeah.

That shouldn't like, that's part of the problem. It's on the shift. I wonder if Tony LaRusso would ever get mad at a pitcher in any circumstance for throwing a no hitter. Tony LaRusso getting mad at his own players and then defending the other team for throwing at him. He's just goofed up. He's all goofed up.

Where you say, Liam? I saw it's on pace to be the lowest batting average of all time this year. It's the shift. It's the fact. It's launch angles. It's balls. It's everything.

There needs to be no more, no more. No hitters. No hitters. I got thrown off there. Because Hank did the, and I was wondering. No one's going to hear that. They're going to not hear this? They're going to hear that now.

Well, the one you just did. You got me doing it. Yeah. They hear this. All right, next topic, Jake. All right, I got one more notable one. We got our first. I like this, actually.

He's like our little reality. He keeps it moving. We got our first look at Tim Otrosenko-Tibo. Oh, I like that name. He's looking chonk. Also, so big boy. Full back. Well, most people saw that and was like, hey,

that's a fat ass. Tim Tibo is kind of fat. I saw it, and I was like, how dare you, Tim Tibo, taking Blake Bortle's number? 85? No, I thought he took five. No, Otrosenko. Oh, you took 85?

No, he was just so big that he would only do. Oh, shit, I didn't see the eight. You could only see the five on his back. The eight was on his side. Fuck. What I took from it is- I was wrong. I'm wrong.

I think Tim Tibo is kind of a Trojan horse steal. I think he might end up playing quarterback. Because if you saw the handshake that he put on the other guy, that is a quarterback's handshake. He put his hand out to introduce himself as they're walking away. They shook hands.

He jerked the guy's hand a little bit. Alpha, Jake knows about that, the old Trump one, where he put him off balance just for a second. And then as the guy got a little off balance, Timmy patted him on the back and gave him re-assurance. It was the entire encapsulation of how to become a natural alpha in about 0.5 seconds. Flawlessly executed.

I know about that. I've seen it. Tim Tibo, I think, is going to, if I were Trevor Lawrence, I would sleep very cautiously. Yes. You know Urban loves him. He loves himself some Tibo. We have one last topic.

Let's talk before we get to Christian Horner. So if you have not watched Drive to Survive on Netflix, I just binged it. I think, Peter, you just started it as well. I saw two EPs. It's fucking awesome. And I think we're going to dip our toe into the little F1 content.

Not go crazy, but we're going to do it a little. It's foreshadowing, but I think I agree with the end of the interview. We have to go and be there in person and feel it. In Monaco. And then we can talk about it going for us. All it took because otherwise we'll just come across as fraud. Yeah, that's true.

We've got to get there. And you've got to go to the Mecca, which is Monaco, right? Yeah. There have been a couple of times this week when we've been talking about this interview and the scheduling of it. And I've just tossed out there, like we should probably go to Monaco.

Next year, Monaco. If anybody had said, even kind of as a joke, yes, let's go, it no longer would have been a joke to me. And I would have been like, yeah, we're doing it. Let's buy a plane ticket. I would like to go to Monaco. Next year in 2022, they're doing a track right outside Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, guys.

Come stay at my place. Sure thing, sir. Absolutely. And if you need us to do any gardening for you. Can we use a toilet? No, we'll just probably. My mom will cook for you. We'll do any chores.

Anything you need us to do. We'll be good. But it's awesome because if you haven't watched it. So F1, I was skeptical. I had heard like people talking about it. And then we got this interview booked a couple of weeks ago. I was like, let me just start watching this. And it was one of those things that you watch

and you can't stop watching because, yes, it's about racing. But it's also the drama is crazy. And like the tracks are cool. The scenes are cool. They've done Netflix or whoever created Drives to Survive did the perfect hack of if we show enough aerial shots of cool sceneries, like people are going to like this show no matter what.

And then you throw in everyone hating each other, like the infighting, the little petty wars. It's this league on steroids. For me, it's mostly about the optics of success that just emanate from Formula One racing. Yes. So like if we talk about Formula One, I think that people will just be like those guys

are sophisticated as hell. Right. Like if you just say like I'm a big Formula One fan, I love Team Ferrari. People will be like that guy is rich and successful. He probably owned several Ferraris. Yep. Michael Schumacher.

He's the goat. Yeah. No, no doubt about it. Yeah. So while Lewis Hamilton. No, I think Schumacher. Yeah, we are in the conversation right now. Yeah, this is incredible.

Everybody is like, holy shit. And they were talking about Monaco. Where even is that? This is crazy. Yeah, we exude class. So yeah, I'm going to try to watch F1 this weekend. I actually think that that is probably the only race in the world that I would get kicked out of.

Monaco? Monaco. Well, not for anything that I did. I probably wouldn't be admitted. But you can't even, like. Any other modes for the world. I don't want to say that you're now making us look poor, but you are because you don't even

have to get admitted to Monaco. You can just watch the race on your yacht. Well, I don't think I'd be admitted in the vicinity. No, dude. We'd have our yacht. I've actually been on a nice level. I know. We wouldn't need to buy.

You don't buy tickets. You watch it from a fucking rooftop or your yacht. I just don't think. I think I don't have the Monaco look. We'll get it. We'll find it. In the other motorsport, it's like that guy should probably be competing.

What's breaking news? Frado is trending. I don't know. People are using a slur again. Is it about Maradona's doctors? Oh, no, it's just Chris Cromo. OK. I was like, uh-oh.

Uh-oh. Did you hear that about Maradona's doctors? What? They killed them. Why? I don't know. They're trying to figure it out. Fuck.

The cases like going to court, they're being charged with homicide. They killed the goat. Shit. Messi probably had something to do with it. No. Messi wants good status. No, no, no. Messi loves Maradona.

It's probably Ronaldo. All right. So I cannot recommend it enough. Drive to survive on Netflix. It's awesome. Again, I was skeptical because I'm not a big racing car racing guy. But it's way more than that. It's everything.

So just pop it in. There's three seasons right now. And Monaco on this weekend. And we're going to talk to Christian Horner right now. Before we get to Christian Horner, simply safe.

Christian Horner. OK, we now welcome on a very special guest. It is team principal of Red Bull Racing Formula One. Christian Horner. They're actually teaming up with Cash App as well, which is a sponsor of ours working with you guys. You guys are at Monaco right now, and you have the race coming up on Sunday.

We're excited to have you on. I want to just tell you beforehand that I'm a die hard F1 fan as of a week and a half ago. I binged all three seasons. So I guess my first question is, what made you go with the spray tan for season three after season one and two? Well, that was being locked up at home for a couple of months.

So you get out in the garden a bit, and the first time I've been one place for that period of time. So there were benefits to this pandemic. OK, all right. I just had to ask that. But seriously, so for people, our audience probably isn't the biggest F1 fans. If you want to go watch Drive to survive,

it's awesome on Netflix. There's three seasons out. Can you explain to us what Monaco means to the F1 world and what they should expect to watch when they're watching this weekend? Well, Monaco's a big one. All the races have the same points, but this is the big one. Every driver, every team wants this on their CV.

It's over 70 years old this race. The track's largely unchanged. It's an insane circuit. There's no overtaking here. So qualifying is everything. But you're racing through a tunnel. You're running around the harbor. You're going through where the market would be past the casino.

So it's an iconic race. And when people think Formula 1, 90% of them will also think Monaco. And I'm a die-hard Formula 1 fan in the last two days. So I've seen a couple of the episodes. I followed along a little bit. I know that you have, in your last couple of races, finished in second place.

I saw that you were saying that you expected a good result this weekend. In American media, what we like to do is we like to make people guarantee victories. And then that gives us a lot of headlines and generates buzz for us. So would you like to guarantee a victory this week in a Monaco? No, no, I'm not going to get it.

We're very British, so we're very reserved. We don't talk about guaranteeing anything. So no, we'll totally understate it. We'll put all the pressure on Lewis Hamilton and try and beat him on Sunday afternoon. But look, it's really tight between the guys at the front, between Lewis and Max. There's nothing much between them,

though, the first four races. This race, the driver makes a difference. And it's going to be about getting the qualifying, right? Because then you can weave like hell and keep the guy behind for 70 laps. All right, so I'm actually very curious about this. The driver versus the car, like Lewis Hamilton is the goat. Whenever we're discussing sports in America,

we like to do the goat. Max Verstappen is going to be world champion. That's what everyone says. I believe it as well. How much of it is the driver and how much of it is the car? Like if you put Max or Lewis in a bottom tier car, would they be on the podium or is it impossible? No, they wouldn't be on the podium.

It's impossible. I mean, the car is a big influence. It's probably about a third, a third, a third. If you split it up between car or chassis, engine, and driver. So that's probably about the split. OK, that actually helps a lot. Because I'm watching these episodes and I'm wondering, obviously, the financial part of the sport

is interesting because if you spend more money, you have more resources, you have a bigger team. But the fine details on the car are those things that you're thinking of in the off-season and you're just hoping it works when you get into the testing and you get into the season? No, look, I mean, we don't make things up as we go along. We do a huge amount of simulation.

We do a massive amount in the virtual world. We pretty much live in the matrix. And so when we turn up on a track, the driver's tested the updates, he's tested the car, the engine, everything. And the reality versus the virtual world is getting so close now in that simulation that that's how we develop these cars.

Yeah, can you remember when you were growing up? I know you grew up in a motorsports family. Do you remember when you fell in love with going fast? Yeah, yeah, yeah. A long time ago, the house I lived in, the countryside, there was a hill outside at the back of the garden. And there was a road and it was about, you know, we used to make like a soapbox

to go down the hill there. And of course, it had no brakes or anything like that. And it was all about who would go the quickest. And so, yeah, I was probably about eight, nine. That's where I fell in love with speed. So what? Evil Can Evil was a big factor in my life as well. Evil Can Evil and the full guy.

I mean, he was a big influence on my younger careers. So the influence was like you love to go fast and then you also weren't afraid of crashing from time to time. No, I'm so you want to jump things. You want a hot girl next to you in the pickup truck. And Juxa Hazard, they were a big influence on me as well. Eighteen.

Yeah, yeah, all those classics. Yeah. So the sport is so fascinating to me. And like I said, I've been a diehard fan for a week and a half now. When we're talking about American sports and you talk about teams and teammates, you obviously are expecting teammates to work together.

This sport's obviously a little different that the teammates are competing against each other. Is there, how do you like, you know, as basically the head coach of this whole system, how do you get them to work together but also know that at the end of the day they're really racing each other? I think there's a big difference

between American sport and European sport because in America, you say, your teammates, they genuinely like each other. They give each other the ball. They'll play with each other. They, you know, they work for each other. Call a teammate in Europe. They fucking hate each other.

Because it's the one guy that's gonna kill his career. So they play team, but the reality is they both want to beat each other. And so my job is to try and keep them both pointing in the right direction and score as many points for the team as they can. And is there ever a time where you will say, like either mid-race or before the race,

hey, look, you have to take one for the team here. You have to help, you know, Max get to the podium. You have to do, we're not expecting you to win this race. We want you to help him win this race. Is there any element of that? There will be because, you know, at some point you've got to pick your best chance of success. So, you know, Max is probably the most likely guy

to obviously win the championship for us. And we've got a great driver in Sergio Perez and obviously at some stages, his role will be to say, right, okay, we've got to help Max win this. Yeah. So, you know, we're nowhere near that stage. We're only four races in and focused on giving

both drivers the best chance that we can. It's usually the last sort of 25% of the championship that that will happen. How have things changed in the sport, given the popularity of the Netflix series? Because I imagine that it's been exposed to, you know, a massive audience that might not have ever heard of you guys before.

Have you noticed like different fans out at the race, more fans in general? Yeah, we've noticed a massive, massive change since Netflix came along. I mean, I'm very popular with the older generation now. So all the older viewers that seem to have been attracted to myself, but it's fantastic that, you know, we're reaching this whole new audience

and that, you know, Netflix is putting Formula One in front of people that wouldn't have naturally watched Formula One and then they want to find out what's going on, what happened, you know, this is a soap opera. And so they have to tune in and watch the sport and then, you know, they get more and more engaged. So for us, it's fantastic. We have a growing audience in the US that's going crazy.

We're bringing in a lot of US sponsors like Cash Out, like Oracle and ExxonMobil, you know, AT&T, some great brands. And, you know, that's all because of the popularity that's growing and Netflix is a big part of that. Yeah, I mean, I'm a test case for that. I had no idea what F1 was. And then I watched it.

Yeah, you never heard of me before. No, exactly. I didn't, and I actually want to throw this out there because I think the greatest humble brag, I don't know if you intended this to happen, happened in season one of Drive To Survive when you were at home with your family and your wife's staying next to you

and they just didn't mention the fact that I was like, wait, is that Ginger's place? And then I realized it was. So, you know, we're 36-year-old guys who grew up on the Spice Girls, so that was kind of a cool twist that we didn't expect. Yeah, yeah. Who was your favorite?

Ginger's place. Wait, respectfully, respectfully. Yeah, congratulations. Respectfully is what I meant to say. Respectfully, respectfully. No, thank you. Yeah, you did. Again, we're very British about that kind of stuff.

Yeah, you've done well for yourself. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, and I like to think she's punching above her weight, but it's probably me that is. If you guys have to go out to dinner, if you have to make like a last-minute reservation, whose name are you dropping?

Are you gonna say you or her? Depends where we go. Depends where we go. But usually her name works a bit more than mine does. Imagine that opens some doors, for sure, yeah. Yes. How does it work if you're growing up over in Europe and you're into Formula One,

how do you decide which team to support? That's always been fascinating to me when it comes to more individual sports. It's like, how do people get attached to a driver Usually he's through a driver, isn't he? Is he just through nationality? Like when I was growing up, Nigel Mansel was a big name for me. British guy drove with his, a lot of heart.

And he was up against somebody like Ed and Senna, who had a massive following in Brazil and South America. So 90% of the time it's the driver. And that's what the US need. We've got to get a decent American driver running in Formula One. And as soon as that happens, I think the US will just take off even more.

We've got a new race coming in Miami next year, which is gonna be super cool. So our presence in the US is growing and growing. We just need a US star. We've got a youngster that's only, I think he's 14, 15, Jack Crawford, American kid. And he's gonna be a big name. He's gonna be a good one.

I love it. That's a good name too, yeah. Has it ever worked the other way? Cause I know that you've heard of some F1 drivers coming over, trying their hand at NASCAR. Has there ever been a major NASCAR driver that's crossed over and tried to compete in F1? NASCAR drivers, you know, they come on how to go,

but they haven't actually raced. And likewise, the other way around, I think Montoya was the guy that went the other way. And he did a pretty decent job from what I could see in NASCAR. But it's like they're two different worlds. It's like, you know, we have rugby, you've got American football, you know?

And, you know, we've got soccer or football and you've got soccer. It's, you know, there's cars and tracks, but Formula One is a different challenge to anything in the US compared, you know, for example, like the Indy 500. Right, dumb question. When a crash happens, obviously the first thing

you're thinking about is the safety of the driver and making sure everyone's okay. After everyone's okay, are you like, oh shit, that's a lot of money. Like that's a lot of money that we just lost on that car. Exactly, especially this year with the cost, we got a financial cap. So we restricted to $145 million.

And it sounds like a lot. On the car? Yeah, on the car, right? So we can't go over that. You know, last year we'd have been spending about 195. So we've got, we've had to reduce our costs significantly for this rule this year. So somebody crashes the car, that's expensive.

And so, yeah, as soon as the guy's all right, you're thinking, how much did that cost? Yeah, right, that little fender bender. So speaking of the restrictions, the financial restrictions, do you think that's good for the sport, that there's gonna be more parity? And overall, the health of the sport will be better knowing that you can't just spend the most money

and win the championship? Yeah, I think it's good. I think it's ultimately a positive thing. You just wanna make sure that people are all playing by the same rules. It's like, you know, they're all different entities. So I mean, Ferrari make road cars and race cars. So if Luigi's designing a front wing,

is it for a Formula One car or a F60? Ah. You know, yeah, you know, so you just wanna make sure, and I think they've got a good, they have got a, you know, quite a good process in place. And, you know, everybody's set up is different. So it's a new challenge this year, but I think ultimately it's a good one.

It's gonna take a couple of years to settle down, but I think it's healthy for the whole sport. I like that about you, by the way, that you are not afraid to be like, hey, that's illegal, like I'm gonna protest that. Has anyone ever come up to you and been like, you're a snitch, like why are you doing that? I think it's great.

I think it's awesome to watch because you're basically like a coach. We're gonna take every, we're gonna use every advantage we have. We're gonna expend every resource to try to win this race. And if that's like, hey, this guy missed the yellow flag,

we're gonna say it. But has there ever been any backlash? You know, people always have opinions, but my job is to push the limits. If I don't do that, then I'm not doing my job properly. I say, yeah, it's okay. You guys take the yellow flag.

We'll give you that win. Right. You know, so underneath that British exterior is a competitive American interior. There's a shot. I like that. I like that too, yeah. What's the most expensive part on your car right now?

The fleshy bit in the middle with two arms, two legs. I was like, wait, what? What is that? I'm not a big car guy. What is he talking about? Does it make a difference? And we've definitely entered like the stupid question portion of this interview right now.

Well, yeah, cause we, the beginning year is just really great journalism by us. Does it matter if your driver loses 10 pounds the week before a race? Yeah, it does actually, because you know, we want the drivers to be like jockies. They've got to be a consistent weight over the weekend because we ballast the car

because it's a combined weight between the driver and the car. So if the driver loses, you know, 10 kilos, then we're in trouble because, you know, if he hasn't told us, so we're constantly weighing these guys. They get weighed after breakfast. They get weighed before they get in the car. They get weighed after they get out of the car

because, you know, they spend more time on the scales than anybody else I know because we have to have them a consistent, you know, weight. Yeah. So how does that work over the course of a race? Because I would imagine if you're competing in Austin, Texas or Miami, it's going to be a hot out. It's a long race.

Probably lose a lot of water weight over the course of it. Yeah. Does the car then handle differently because of that? It won't handle differently, but we have to take that into account with the weight that we start with. So the driver a lot, you know, somewhere like Singapore will lose two kilos,

you know, through just sweating. So you have to compensate that with the weight that you put in the car for, you know, for the end of the race. So since we're an American sports podcast, this probably won't get picked up, but, you know, internationally, but who do you hate the most on the circuit? You know, I hate the most in Formula One.

Yeah. Yeah. With this, you could just say whatever because like no one will, no one will ever write up a story. Nobody ever heard this, will they? We're very small. No, no, no. I love everybody. Yeah.

I love everybody. I don't have any enemies in Formula One. Do you, though, you know, the guys on the other teams, do you have any relationship off-camera or, you know, maybe go out to dinner at the end of the season? Or is it true, like, hey, this is a rivalry. I want to beat you and I'm not going to be friendly with you no matter what?

Look, we're not playing chess with each other. I mean, it's a rivalry. And I am a great believer that, you know, you can't fake things. You know, it's real. So, you know, I won't be spending Christmas with Toto Wolf. That's for sure. What about Toto? Because I know that you've had a little back and forth

with him recently. You hired away a bunch of his top guys, right? And he's upset that you're spending money. Do you feel bad for paying his people more than he was going to pay them? Not at all. Not at all. He's a cheap guy.

You know, he should have paid them more in the first place. They never left. That's a fair point. What's the size difference between, like, the Red Bull Racing team and one of the lower teams? Like, in terms of just general staff? I think what? We're on the bigger end, obviously.

I mean, we're one of the bigger teams. I mean, he's, sorry, compared to Mercedes, they're probably the biggest team, probably followed by ourselves. Mercedes over 1,000 people just on the chassis. We're probably about 800, 850. I think Terraria are quite similar. Wow.

That's a lot of people. And when was the last time you got the itch to just say, fuck it, I'm going to drive? Probably about 25 years ago. Yeah? Yeah, no. Look, I started my life as a driver. That's how I started.

And I quickly recognized that my talent was not behind the wheel. So, but it was a great education for me. I love driving the cars. I love, you know, I drove here in Monaco. I drove in the category just below Formula One. And it was a great education. Yeah. So, this is a really stupid question.

But I respect the fact that you pull off being a pinky ring guy. Was that just, has that been your whole life? You've been a pinky ring guy? Well, what is the definition of a pinky ring guy to you guys? I mean, over, you know, obviously. I think it's just wearing it with confidence because I've always wanted to rock a pinky ring. And I've dabbled, I've put it on,

and I just don't feel confident where I see you. And I'm like, that guy, he's confident in his pinky ring. Absolutely. I mean, I think you should give it a go. I mean, if you came over here and you didn't have one, you'd be thinking you were slightly old. How long have you been rocking it all your whole life? Yeah, I think it's 18, since I was 18.

That's an early start, because now it's like part of who you are. Yeah, you know, nobody's ever asked me that question in my life before. So, that's a new one, I like that. We pride ourselves on doing that on this podcast, whenever we have a guest on. I would assume we're a little different than the F1 media, yeah. So, speaking of age, you know, for people who don't know your back story, you took over Red Bull at a pretty young age.

You four world titles was, you know, was that looking back on it? Were you like, man, this is not easy, but like, this is awesome. I keep winning world titles. And now the last few years have been a little more difficult with Mercedes. Look, I mean, I came in, I was 31 when I took on the job. You know, we worked really hard to get into a championship position. We then won the championships for four years in a row. I think I was the youngest guy to win a Formula One championship as a team principal.

And then, you know, then Mercedes came along with their juggernaut, and they've been, they've raised the bar, you know, done an amazing job the last seven years. And we've been fighting to get ourselves back into a competitive position. You know, we're getting that, you know, this year, we're getting pretty close to them. And that's great, that's great for the whole team. It's great for Honda, it's great for our partners. It's great for the sport to suddenly have two guys at the top of their game going,

going head to head. Do you have any superstitions on race day? Any patterns that you do all the time? I got loads, you know, I had them from when I was driving. So nobody listens to this podcast today or no one. It's just us, we're not even recording. OK, I've got two I can probably share with you. I have a lucky pair of underwear.

OK, you know, that that's won several races. And championships and I have this really bad one of I have like a lucky toilet at each track we go to and and I have to make sure that I go for a pee in that lucky toilet for the race. Oh, now if that tour, if there's like in Brazil, most places, it's OK, because we've got our own motorhome and it's fine. But somewhere like Brazil, 25 toilets, 24 of them are empty. And the lucky one is full.

You look kind of weird hanging around the toilets, waiting to go to your lucky toilet. No, I get that. So they bring the same toilets. It's like Kim Jong-un, his toilet train that they drive all around Korea. No, they don't take the toilet everywhere. I mean, we go to different races. You know, when we come to Austin, I'll pick one, you know, one toilet and get, OK, that's my lucky toilet for the weekend.

Oh, does your team know? It changes from race to race. I don't take the same one. Yeah, yeah. But does your team know, like, hey, where's Christian? Where's the boss? Like, oh, he must be held up waiting for his lucky toilet. I don't know about that, you know?

So when you guys don't want to know about a superstition, so, you know, they wouldn't have a clue. OK. I'm very curious about the toilet. How do you decide which one is going to be the one that week? Does it just speak to you? Guys, guys, sorry. This is going to be the last question.

OK, cool. Yeah, this is a good one to wrap up. That's miserable. I was enjoying this. Well, look, I might try a few during the different practice sessions and the one that was quickest in, I will then adopt for the rest of the weekend. Ah, perfect. The fastest toilet.

OK. That is unbelievable. Exactly. Christian, I know you're a very busy man. We appreciate it. Hopefully, this wasn't too painful for you. We try to do something. Look, I enjoyed it.

You guys should come to a race. You should come and find about the world of Formula One. I would love to go to Monaco this weekend. Is there a too fat for driving the car and too tall? Because I think I don't even think I would fit in the car. No, I think, unfortunately, you fit both of those categories. The XL car. If you've got an XL car, I'll come to a race, all right?

OK, no problem. All right. Thanks so much. Good luck this weekend. All right. All the best. Christian Horner is brought to you guys by our great friends at Sport Clips. Love Sport Clips.

Get excited for that. Hank. I mean, we talked about it. Do you have anything to be upset about? Hank, you also want to match for us. Oh! Wait. I'm trying to help him out.

It's just so much worse. Every time he tries to help him. He can't help it. It gets so much worse. And he just outflit me too. Yeah, he did. He could sank beat you. It's okay.

I swept Hank last time. I wanted Hank to have some confidence going into this match against you. Yeah. No, but yeah, I'm just down really bad, not getting invited to live streams, to live streams that I put on, just getting dominated in. This kid, Brendan McGrath, though, he'd just DM me that he was one point away again from winning $500 today, so I'll dedicate my firefest to him. That is a tough one.

If you had played just like a little bit better, he would have got that money. I know. One more point. That's tough. Is that it? Yeah, that's it. Okay. My firefest of the week.

I'm sorry, Hank. Should we just have all of our firefest, should we just donate them all to Hank for this week? Yeah, I'm sorry, Hank. Because I think what I'm about to say just like pales in comparison to what Hank is going through right now. Yeah. It's like showing up to a funeral with a stubbed toe and being like, oh, my pinky

toe hurts. I can't do anything, but I'm just sorry for your losses. Boy, you put the broadcast. I did not. I did not. Come on, please. I wish I had. You guys tweeted it.

It couldn't have been. I didn't know. I don't think the broadcast, I don't even think the moment was over before PFT tweeted it. I was sitting in the booth just going, please, someone get that for my personal use right now. His disgusting ass computer tweeted a video, like a screen recording, like a, like an agent. Sorry, Hank.

It's your computer disgusting. I just got some dust on it. Sure. I mean, who's, who doesn't? He's used. I use my computer. I work on it. Sorry, Hank.

You're good. I also, I did you a favor because I didn't want people harassing you, asking you when the show is going to come out tonight because that's something that I know really gets under your skin. So I told them, do not harass you specifically and instead ask Jake, your boss, when the show is coming out. I didn't do that to get any thanks from you, nor do I expect any, but I just want to say I was looking out for you and maybe put some respect on my screen.

I will not. Okay. Hank, uh, if I could boop you like a dog, I would. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. I could use it. I could really use it right now. Boop.

Jake Boop. No. Jake Boop. Hank just said that he could use a boop. Give him a quick boop. Just a quick boop. Just a quick boop. Oh, it's so bad.

It's so bad. He gave me a finger that's better than what he gave me in there when I was trying to help him out. All right. PFC, what's yours? My fire fest of the week is that, um, Tom Brady leadership the hell out of me. Oh yeah. Tom Brady turned me into a Tom Brady believer yesterday.

Yeah. So I made a cheap joke about him losing money in Bitcoin and it was a. Cheap joke. What? It was a really cheap joke. I just said it was. I know. I just.

Okay. Reiterated. Do you want to do my fire fest thing? It was. Do you want me to? Yeah. No. Okay.

All right. I did. I did. Oh wow. Hank, you're not allowed to say that. I'm. I thought you wanted me to do your fire. No, you're not allowed to say that because Tom Brady is the only one who's allowed to

judge my jokes anymore. So I made a. I want to get out of this room so bad right now. I made a. I made a bad joke and Tom Brady said that SMH I've seen better from you PFT over here. We just buy the dip and at first I was like a little offended by it, but then I was like, wait a second. Tom Brady just said that he's seen better from me.

So he expects more out of me and then I started to expect more out of myself because Tom Brady, the legend sees more in me than I do in myself and I realized I am basically Julian Edelman right now. Yeah. Like he just leadership the hell out of me. He got you. He got you. And now I'm now Tom Brady is my.

My leader. Correct. He's a winner. Yeah. You're ready to go. I'm ready to roll. I'm ready to roll. Ready to roll.

Ready to roll. Sorry Hank. You're good. Sorry that you're feeling. Sorry that you're lashing out at me. Not at all. And I'm sorry that Tom Brady's never interacted with you on Twitter even though you went to jail for him.

That's not sure. I think he thanks us every year. He did a few days ago on the anniversary. Did he? Yeah. Oh God. Just look it up on his Twitter account. Should be there.

No problem. I think it was an Instagram comment that you really want to get in the nitty-gritty. Are you one of his high school friends or one of his college friends when he says it's like having high school? Okay. No, it's not online. I think you're family. Who knows?

All right. My firefest is pretty simple. I realized this week because it's nice. It's getting warmer. I'm starting to get... Oh, that's the other thing. I'm fat. I'm skinny and I'm fat.

Yeah. Yeah. So riddle me that. What? Riddle me that. Yeah, you're fat. How are you skinny? I don't think you're fat.

Oh no, it's... Let me see your stomach. I'll show you offline. We have to like, Hank, you need to get a room that like blocks all of our cell phones so no one can take pictures and no one can send anything and just we'll do it there. Hank's lashing out at people online and saying how much money Quiggs would have in his account if he didn't sell his Dogecoin. Hank just...

How's that a lash out? You're just mad, Hank. I'm just stating facts. Hank, it's okay to be mad. Oh, and he sold his Dogecoin? Hank, it's okay to be mad. Oh, I thought that's how much money he had. Let it out.

I didn't realize he sold it. Hank, you just want to roast us for the rest of the show? No, I think you guys are doing great. Thanks, Hank. All right, my fire presence is I need to... I need to... Oh, my grill game. I suck at grilling.

I realize that. Sucks. As a guy, as a dad, you got to be better at grilling. I'm not bad. I'm just not like all the way there, you know what I mean? Like I'm the guy who can cook a steak well, but like if you give me... Medium plus. Yeah, medium rare plus, but if you give me chicken, I get nervous and I'm over going

to undercook it, so I overcook it every time. Yeah, chicken's a tricky little bird. It's a nervous bird. Yeah, right. So I need to get... I need to up my grill game. So I need... Anyone who's got tips for me, like what do I got to buy?

What do I got to do? I don't know. Whatever. Just give me some tips. Start easy. Start with hamburgers. No, I know how to cook them. I'm saying like I want to up my game.

I want to become like, holy shit, how do you cook that on the grill? That was incredible. Yeah. So I need someone to tell me how to like really up my game. Here's what you do. It's like a little hack. You cook it in the oven, so I assume you can like set a temperature, roast it for a little bit.

If it's like a steak, if it's like a nice piece of meat. I don't want it. This sounds too much. No, it's easy. You just cook it in there, then you take it out to the grill and the grill's hot as shit and you just put it on each side for a little bit. Yeah, but I don't want... And then you tell people it's grilled.

But then... Oh, okay. And then you're like, see, look at this. And it's got the grill marks. It's got a nice crust on the outside. I don't know. I'm just open to any... I know BBQ Twitter is a terrible place to be, but I am coming to you and saying, please

help and I'm ready to go. I'm ready to become the guy who can really like be proud of his grilling, Jake. I can't get this certain Peter Griffin laugh out of my head. What is it? That's been sucking my head. I've been humming it all week. So your firefeshe is that you're too happy? Yeah, that's right.

It's just when something's stuck in your head. I have... I mean, dude, I walk around with Elmo's playing in my head all the time. And Bluey, right? Yeah, but Elmo's the worst. Yeah. So, yeah. Okay.

That sounds like a pretty good week. No, I mean... Pretty bad. I know. That's not everyone on their way. Jake's not bad too, it sounds like. 18. Give me a...

99. 8 again. What's that? 47. Hank, please get this. 73. Watch the 18. 9.

Looks like 9. Is it 8? Is it 8? Is it 8? 9. Looks like a 9. That's not qualified. That's not qualified.

That's not qualified. That's not qualified. 46. 47. A one-off Hank, I don't know. Come on. Just like in Playboss for Life today. That's not right.

That's not right. That's your extra point. That's not right. That's not right. 100 bucks. That's not right. 46 the first timer. Oh.

Do you want to animal floss? 47, Hank? Animal floss journalism or not? Yeah, please. The worst part is that I have been doing an order just counting up. I've been doing it for a while. I've been doing it for a while. I've been doing it for a while.

I've been doing it for a while. I've been doing it for a while. I've been doing it in order just counting up. Uh-huh. You forgot? And I don't know if I did 46 or 45 last time. Oh, man. Animal or journalism?

Uh-oh. Let's do animal. Let's do animal. Hank, animal or journalism? Let's just end the show. Okay, we'll see you in a month. I love you guys. I've heard enough of Jake today.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
